Tiny sidenote: the reader in this has been describe to be shorter than the characters and has been mentioned to have a soft body rather than the muscular type.

Valeria Garza

ꕥ (Just saying, I'd let her step all over me)

ꕥ The El Sinombre falling in love? No shit she's... semi-normal??

ꕥ Black cat/Doberman girlfriend for sure. She's extremely protective and extremely terrifying when she wants to be. Scary dog privilege if you get it. (Occasionally it's funny to imagine her as a Chihuahua)

ꕥ Dates all kinds of women, body type and other things don't matter to her because she doesn't have a type. If you catch her attention then that's that.

ꕥ Loves spoiling you in everyway possible, just sit pretty for her and she'll take care of everything. Doesn't give a shit on the amount of money she spends on you, you want it? You got it.

ꕥ Loves it when you need her, it's one of the ways she feels loved and appreciated. Would never say it out loud but loves it whenever you show her your appreciation by doing manual labor.

ꕥ The idea of you being her pretty little housewife is sending her to heaven.

ꕥ Spanish pet names galore, culture is something of importance to her so will definitely teach you Spanish if she had the time.

ꕥ Would be interested learning about your culture as well because if you're gonna know about hers then she ought to know what to call you in your language. (Definitely not self-indulgent because I'm Filipina and I know she'd pronounce it somewhat correctly)

ꕥ Doesn't ever let you know about her cartel business. You can never know and she will never allow you to get ever get involved. You're too precious to her and god forbid anything will happen to you, she will destroy the world if she had to.

ꕥ She's more of a masc lesbian, she's the type who likes to be in charge in a "I'm the one who wears the pants in the relationship" way. She's very dominant.

ꕥ Doesn't ever even consider to be submissive, with the amount of shit she's been through. She can be vulnerable with you but in no way, shape or form could you ever top.

ꕥ You're an escape from the life she knew, it was peaceful with you. At first she wasn't used to it, definitely has reoccurring thoughts of something going wrong. You dying, getting kidnapped, falling into the hands of her enemies so constant reassurance.

ꕥ Would absolutely kill for you, no hesitation. The literally definitely of "I would burn this world for you", would absolutely deny it but you know otherwise.

Farah Karim

ꕥ Tabby cat coded girlfriend, she's down to earth and chill. She's that one neutral person everyone adores, she puts her best efforts into a relationship for sure.

ꕥ Has and will help you do your make-up all the time, doesn't matter whether you asked. She'll observe the specific way you do it and do it perfectly.

ꕥ Sweetest girlfriend ever, she has dominance tendencies but it's mainly because she's quite assertive and often makes the decisions. Can't help it, after all her field of work requires her to one up egotistic men.

ꕥ That being said, I think she's had some mild PTSD about how they treated her. Sure it made her tough and she didn't like to be bossed around (unlike angry Mexican man) but I like to think she keeps you out of it as much as possible.

ꕥ Chubby!Reader headcanon is that she literally would adore you, compliment anything and everything. Insecure? Not on her watch, she just makes you feel so loved.

ꕥ Most definitely has introduced you to Price (I feel like he's everyone's father figure except los vaqueros and characters he hasn't interacted with) and don't worry he's already looking after you as well.

ꕥ Poly! Farah x reader x Alex headcanons:

ꕥ You guys following whatever Farah says, towards relationship decisions anyway because you and Alex tend to be indecisive.

ꕥ Lot's of communication between the three of you even if it's just a small thing, consent is always key.

ꕥ Alex following his two wives around a lot, he's mostly behind you guys all the time.

ꕥ Farah is patient when it comes to a lot of things but especially you and Alex.

ꕥ You get head pats from both of them, Farah is in a more praising manner while Alex tends to be in a comforting manner.

ꕥ You cannot tell me these two won't be down to cuddle in any position because I know damn well they would be. More often it's just Alex wanting to be a little spoon.

Alex Keller

ꕥ Golden Retriever boyfriend FOR REAL. This man is the type of man to kneel down and clasp the strap of your shoe or heel when he notices it.

ꕥ You know when you pick up something near a corner of a table or underneath it? He's the type of boyfriend to subconsciously cover the edge or corner of that table so that if your head bumps into it then it wouldn't be as painful or even at all.

ꕥ Having said the first one, he also guides your head whenever getting into a vehicle because god forbid you actually hurt yourself. Not on his watch.

ꕥ Understands why you're insecure and definitely offers a lot of verbal reassurance.

ꕥ Is the type of boyfriend to say "Yes Ma'am" when you ask him to do something, doesn't matter whether it's a small thing or labor intensive. It's kinda become your guys' thing now since people take notice on it.

ꕥ Pouty kind of jealous? Not necessarily whiny but makes this sad upset face at you when jealous instead of something like Ghost or Valeria would do where they'd be glaring the person down jealous.

ꕥ Very thoughtful, he pays attention to what you want and what you need and knows the right timing.

ꕥ Forehead kiss giver, you cannot convince me this man doesn't love doing it. Especially when you're shorter than him, loves resting his chin on top of your head or burying his head in your neck.

ꕥ HATES seeing you uncomfortable, absolutely despises it. That's the last thing he wants you to feel when you're around him. Would understand if there's imminent danger around but it would literally being him back to life if you felt safe enough around him even if there was danger because you're confident in his capabilities to keep you safe.

Kate Laswell

ꕥ (LOVE THIS WOMAN, SHE'S FOR THE GIRLS BECAUSE IT'S CANON. ARGUE WITH THE WALL)

ꕥ She only ever let the TF141 and Nikolai meet you because of course she trusts them enough.

ꕥ They were like "So you're the infamous wife of Laswell huh?"

ꕥ Even before you were married, Kate called you her wife because she was ✨manifesting✨.

ꕥ She loves using it though, sometimes she'd be with coworkers and they'd invited her to go out to pub and drink but she'll refuse saying "Can't, my wife is waiting for me". She'd really rather just spend time with you anyway.

ꕥ Congrats, you made her quit smoking or at least she's trying to. She still does every once and a while when shit gets really bad but never around you because she knows that secondhand smoke is just as bad for you.

ꕥ She doesn't have a type when it comes to people so body is out of the question, if she feels a connection then she feels it.

ꕥ Anything and everything to keep you safe, if something were to happen to you, trust that she'll either get it down herself or if she can't then she'll turn to Price and Belinski for help.

ꕥ As much as possible, she keeps you away from everything. The job she has is just too dangerous and she can't risk you, not when you're one of the only good things in her life that keeps her happy.

ꕥ Definitely a workaholic, something as simple as asking her to eat or rest, maybe take a break. She'll do it, for you and because she knows you care for her.

ꕥ Doesn't half-ass anything, full effort when it comes to you especially when there's a special occasion between you two like holidays, birthdays and anniversaries.

ꕥ Also she loves making you laugh, more often with stories of her experiences with Price and also about how they met.

Gary "Roach" Sanderson

ꕥ (I CANNOT FIND A DECENT GIF OF THIS MAN FOR THE LIFE OF ME... Here's the credits to where I found the photo)

ꕥ Get this man a makeshift antenna, he would adore it. You made it for him because of his call sign.

ꕥ He sometimes wears it on missions but mostly keeps it so that it doesn't get damage because this man is definitely a horder, not in a bad way just anything you give to him is something worth keeping in his eyes.

ꕥ Gary definitely gives you handmade gifts back, when he knows you'll like something or even if it's at a random, he loves making them for you and he cried when he found out you kept those all in it's own box labeling it your treasures.

ꕥ Very shy and reluctant at first but once he's comfortable, he is tackling you for a hug when he gets the chance.

ꕥ Doesn't talk a lot, (it took me to Google when I saw that many people hc him communicating through BSL) but I like to think he does talk. It's just really selective, like a few words.

ꕥ The first time you heard his voice, you looked at him like "???". He looked at you confused at your reaction and he only realized it when you told him.

ꕥ Think that he'll try to learn sign language within your mother tongue you know, it's too cute not to think about.

ꕥ He gives off soft lover vibes, definitely far more on the gentle side compared to his comrades.

ꕥ Something in me tells me this man rambles but only and I mean only when he's already extremely comfortable around you, not used to using his voice much so expect a bit of stutter. Which by the way, he does this without knowing he's rambling and will profusely apologize with his tone of voice slowly getting more quiet. (This is your sign, comfort this man)

ꕥ Likes to crawl around and climb things for fun, another one of the reasons his call sign was formed. The first time Ghost genuinely screamed was when Roach was stuck on the side of the wall and Ghost saw him there. Kinda like when you see a roach climbing up a wall and it flies straight for you in your direction. (Happened to me by experience when I was taking a shower)

ꕥ He also likes crawling around, like this I mean. Hacker!Reader seeing this on the enemy's security camera while she tries to shut them off is just funny to me idk why.

ꕥ Chubby!Reader? Sign him the fuck up. You once sat down near him and he saw how you thought spread a bit and it was so close to his that he was just resisting the urge to touch. The voice in his head shamelessly thinking of what it would be like if you suffocated him with them.

ꕥ He loves peppering kisses, doesn't matter whether it's receiving or giving this man would straight up take your hands and use them to cup his face, his hands still being over yours and would with wait for you to kiss him or kiss you himself.

Nikolai Belinski

ꕥ (I have no clue how to write for nik but I'll try my best)

ꕥ We all know him and his jokes about his "wives" which by the way is not true and you know it.

ꕥ He's husband material however he is quite busy, not that he'd barely spend time with you but he is away a lot. There's an upside to this, he constantly calls you (Let's be real, he prefers calls over texts) just to check on how you're doing and he tells you when he's going to come home.

ꕥ Despite all his jokes, he'd never actually make fun of you. Sure he's sarcastic and talks to himself a lot but he'd never go as low as actually making an offensive joke to his lover.

ꕥ Speaking of joking, your laugh is music to this man's ears. Don't matter if you sound like a dying cat, he's still gonna make you laugh.

ꕥ Surprisingly really sweet, people are often surprised to see that man with a lover. He's very thoughtful in a sense that he's observant, sure he's quite absentminded when around you because that's the only space he's comfortable enough to do so but also because he likes listening to you.

ꕥ Does every safety measure in a helicopter possible if he knew you or Gaz would be in that helicopter, he also makes improvements to it and calls it Gaz-proofing because we all know how Garrick fell off a damn helicopter TWICE. (Idk how he does it, Gaz has some serious plot armor)

I've gotten a couple replies of "and that's terrifying" on this post about the more stable members of Bells Hells, and, to be honest, hate that, so let's talk about it.

There's a couple reasons. The first that I still don't know who the fuck thought the Issylra half of the party split would be Team Levelheaded and not Team Abandonment Issues, because, well, it's the latter. The second is that there's been a near constant undercurrent from quite early in the campaign of "oh Orym...he's going to break...he's a powder keg" and while he's decidedly not a powder keg, we did get him finally breaking a bit, and suddenly everyone's like "HORRIFYING that the guy I kept claiming was uniquely angsty is now having a harder time with the party split than the other characters whose equally tragic backstories I've consistently ignored, diminished, and dismissed."

All three of the Bells Hells characters in Team Issylra have issues related to loneliness and being left behind, which is a common thread through the party, but notably, Fearne, FCG, and Chetney being more stable should not be surprising nor scary. Resilience isn't tied to whether or not you're somewhat chaotic, or have mechanically-induced loss of control, and that's what we're talking about here. The reason why Team Issylra is having a rough time of it - and specifically why Laudna and Orym are falling apart whereas Ashton is doing comparatively well - is because they've been constantly pretending things are okay. Chetney, meanwhile, genuinely does think the worst thing that happened to him fucking rules, and has the age and perspective and sheer survival instincts to pull through; FCG has, within the story, had to face some horrifying realizations about himself and so has some tools for this kind of situation; and Fearne is to be honest still learning that consequences are a thing that happens, but she has dealt with a few profound disappointments and is sitting with them - she openly admitted she's not terribly impressed by her parents.

On the other hand, I think Orym has worked through the earlier stages of grief, to be sure, but he's put a brave face on over it and tried to look at the bright side. Which isn't the worst idea, but it means when the things he's built that idea of a bright side upon - Keyleth's infallibility, his relationships within the Crown Keepers - are nowhere to be found, he doesn't have anything to take hold of. He adjusted to one devastating change by clinging to the constants, and now that many of the constants are gone too, he has no mechanism to process the change in their absence.

And this is Laudna's whole deal, right? I do in fact agree that her initial death was still the worst thing that's happened to her so far, but that doesn't mean she can't still be incredibly upset by major events. It's comforting to know you've survived worse, but it doesn't necessarily help you actually get through a slightly less terrible (but still pretty terrible) situation. She says she can't stop compartmentalizing or she'll cry - but like, she'd probably feel better if she'd just spent the second watch crying. Like Orym, Laudna's developed this idea that she can will things into being okay, and in the end, she can't. Leaning into the "Today SUCKS" attitude would, honestly, help her, and I'm hoping she does so.

Ashton meanwhile doesn't have healthy coping mechanisms, but they do have coping mechanisms that work in this situation (namely, drinking and hitting things). He also, more importantly, has no investment in pretending things are okay. Ashton thinks the world is full of utter bullshit that will fuck you over, and the point is to get through it, and sure, it's a very cynical mindset, but there's a reason why toxic positivity is, well, toxic.

As a sidebar, I also think that Ashton has, fascinatingly and despite their drunken talk with Laudna on the skyship, put their abandonment issues into perspective. Ashton is able to handle the current situation because, logically, they were teleported to a random location beyond their control and with no capacity to contact other people, so it's reasonable to assume the other half of the party is in the same position. No one abandoned anyone. To quote Ashton themself, actually, from episode 25, "Sometimes shit's just fucked up, and the only thing you can do because you didn't do anything fucking wrong, is get the fuck back up and do the exact same thing all over again knowing that there was nothing to learn." On the other hand, the fact that Milo saved Ashton makes that particular situation worse. If Ashton had been left to die in the street and a random uninvolved stranger picked him up? Then you can at least imagine the Nobodies had to leave, or couldn't pick them up for whatever reason, or even perished themselves. The fact that Milo was able to make this choice means the Nobodies also had the ability to make a choice, and the choice was to leave them behind, and that's what stings, and that's the unique loneliness, and that's why this situation isn't comparable.

So anyway, in summary, it's unsurprising the two people who have handled grief and tragedy by trying to quietly (in Orym's case) and not-so-quietly (in Laudna's) smooth it over are finding themselves completely unable to do so and barely holding together, whereas the people who allow themselves to be upset or, frankly, just go apeshit, are doing much better.

#critical role #critical role spoilers #bells hells #Ashton (and Deni$e) are honestly reminding me of the Yasha pit fight in C2 rn #like was that a healthy coping mechanism no but Yasha honestly did feel much better after it and her recovery trajectory went up from there #and ashton has the other dimension of like. he has chronic pain. it's unfair and serves no purpose. shit happens.#it's very they should invent a way out that isn't through but unfortunately they didn't so fuck it i'm smashing the wall #i mean barbarian rage as catharsis isn't a new idea by any stretch but. the thing about a reckless attack is it feels good as hell

-<3

MYSTERY TO ME 2

summary . Wednesday started to fall in love harder than she knew she had with you.

pairing . Wednesday x gn!reader

warning . lot's of fluff and kissing T_T me and who?

MYSTERY TO ME 1

Author's note: Thankyou so much everyone for showing your love and support mwah mwah and thankyou to you anon that now a mystery to me part 2 exists! <;3 hope y'all like it ^_~

--x

You and Wednesday have been on a rollercoater ride ever since you both started dating. The phrase- "Life is full of surprises"- was hard to believe for Wednesday because all that had occured in her life was predictable, she knew what would happen to her due to her actions, she knew what would happen to others due to her actions.

But this was a first, as much as it haunts to not know what comes next, Wednesday was thrilled to say the least. Emphasis on thrilled. She liked mysteries afterall, mysteries which are too easy to crack are no fun. But trying to predict you and failing to do so everytime.. was fun in it's own.

Like the time you kissed her neck.

🍥Little ice cream dates

Tyler had suggested you a good icecream parlour so you insisted Wednesday to hang out with you there.

"I came for an icecream, not to see your mouth smeared with some overly whipped cream." Wednesday commented while giving you a judging look.

You chuckled, "The same goes for you." She contorted her eyebrows as you suddenly leaned closer.

"Let me wipe for you." You said and you kept leaning further until your lips were mere centimeters away, as much as that she could clearly smell the flavour of the icecream you were having from your lips. She immediately shut her eyes as reflex and you couldn't help but laugh and backoff as you cleaned the lips with your finger. Did she think we were about to kiss? How adorable?

Wednesday immediately opened her eyes feeling embarassed and now she wanted revenge, therefore before you could seize your laughter, she leant in as she kissed the cream of your lips leaving your eyes wide open in shock.

You looked at her speechless as your heart beat increased it's pace. You started fanning yourself, "You sure are bold huh? In open public?" She smirked at your reaction, "You teased me first _________! Winning is in my nature." You wiped your mouth with a tissue as you listened to her with narrowed eyes. "Oh Miss Addams, are we competing against each other?"

She shrugged, "Whatever it is, I won." "Then watch out." And before Wednesday could decipher your warning, you grabbed her by shoulders catching her off gaurd and then you did what Wednesday never saw it coming in a million years. You kissed her.. on neck.

She took in a sharp breath, "I won." You said with a victorious smirk.

She blinked at your sudden action, you were making her feel foreign things and she needed to cool off immediately. The icecream was long finished and now all she wanted was to run. She started walking away when you laughed loudly and called out to her, "Wednesday that's the wrong direction." Good, now she was getting directions wrong, way to go Wednesday! She mentally facepalmed herself as she reversed her direction with a straight face.

But even though it was somewhat embarassing, Wednesday for the first time didn't desire to kill someone who embarraseed her.

Your relationship was filled with teasing, loving and a lot's of physical affection.

Simply put Wednesday YEARNED for your little acts of touch any time you got the chance to do so.

It wasn't just you who did unpredictable things, even Wednesday surprised you at times.

Like the time she cupped your cheeks.

🍥Little touch and lots of kisses

Early in the morning when you waited outside Wednesday's room, she'd come out and you would place a goodmorning kiss on her cheeks while she offered you your favorite candy she had asked Thing to arrange. It was sort of unbelievable how Wednesday had remembered the candy you mentioned in passing when she had asked you what you used to consume sneakily during class.

It was unbelievable because you had stopped eating that candy as you had run out of it, that was two weeks before you both started dating- which means that she had noticed you in classes even before you both were together, isn't that surprising? You kicked your feet in air when you realised it while screaming into the pillow.

After she comes out of her room, you both would go to class while holding hands. And the biggest tease- Xavier would blabber non stop on how much skinship you both displayed openly. "Are you sure you both are dating for the first time? Normally people take months to get onto the stage that you guys are in right now."

"I like speed Xavier." Wednesday's sudden confession gave you butterflies, "what do you mean by speed?" Enid raised her eyebrows with a mischievous expression. "Totally not what you are thinking Enid!" You said flustered while she narrowed her eyes further.

"What are you all talking about?" Wednesday asked in a confused state as she tried to observe the looks you both were exchanging.

"Uh- oh Wednesday I just remembered Ms. Thornhill had summoned you." You said while dragging her away.

Wednesday gave you a questioning look with her eyebrows raised, "I know you lied to get out of there___________. Is it something I'm not supposed to hear?" She asked as she sat down next to the fountain in your campus.

"It-it's nothing." You said not being able to look into her eyes. "The way you are avoiding the question makes me even more curious." She titled her head and crossed her arms.

"Wednesdayyyy" You whined in desperation. "Whatttt?" She mimicked your whining with a poker face. "Ugh this isn't gonna do." You grabbed your forehead and sighed, "Fine I'll tell you." You hissed.

She looked at you amusingly, she wasn't actually that much interested about the conversation before, rather she liked the way you were acting. You were so cute afterall.

"Fine if you don't want to tell then don't." You jumped in happiness at her words but she continued further, "Only if you give me a kiss." She demanded.

You poked your inner cheeks with your tongue, "Why not?" You felt relieved at such an easy task, you loved to kiss her anyway. So you went ahead and kissed her forehead.

She sighed in dissapointment so she cupped your cheeks and looked at you intently. You blinked, "d-did I make a mistake?" And why would she suddenly cup your cheeks? You totally didn't see that coming.

"Yes!" She said, "You were supposed to kiss here." And she leaned in to kiss your lips with great passion, it was like you were kissing an experienced kisser. She kept on changing angles during the kiss making it even more steamy.

Two floors above near the window, Enid squealed and kept hitting Xavier's arm as she looked at you both kiss there. "Wednesday is such a quick learner, I'm so proud of myself." Xavier looked at her and scoffed, "What do you mean?"

"I taught Wednesday how to kiss!" She said in absolute thrill. Xavier's eyes went wide, "Wait! Don't- don't tell me you taught her how to kiss by.. by .. kissing each other?"

Enid gave him a nasty look and waved her hands, "Hell no! Wednesday just saw me and Ajax kissing and took some notes." Xavier raised his eyebrows in shock, "So you are telling me you both caught her taking notes while you both kissed in secret?"

She laughed, "What secret? She had asked me to show her so I called Ajax over and she stood there looking at us making out."

Xavier's jaw dropped, "She willingly became a third wheel?" It was as if Xavier started having physical pain in cringe.

"Yeah, it amazes me how much Wednesday loves ___________ to go to these extents. Doesn't it amazes you?" "Yeah it totally does." Bianca shook her head as she came from behind and gave a breathy laugh.

"Me and who?" She sighed as she picked up the textbook lying next to Enid. "Right Wednesday and __________ really be making us feel so single. I hate it here. I'm out." Xavier grunted.

When you both parted for air, you looked at Wednesday with a lovesick gaze, you loved her so much so being drunk in her love you finally confessed, "I love you, Wednesday."

She felt surprised and joyous at the same time so she breathed what she wanted to tell you so eagerly since past few days. "I love you too __________." She did it! SHE DID IT FOLKS!

And that was another first in your flowery and fiery relationship as you both continued to kiss again!!

Do you got time for a yandere Twilight Sparkle headcanon?

This is more season 1-2 Twilight, I hope that's okay! c:

---

💜 You were most likely somepony Twilight had met early on when the unicorn first moved into Ponyville. Perhaps someone she spoke with at the Summer Sun Celebration, or one of the first guests she had at the library. Either way, Twilight was eager to get to know you and expand her limited knowledge of friendship. And… It was fun. Really, really fun! Twilight had no idea that she could connect this way with another pony before! What had she been missing all these years? To make up for lost time and make the most of her research opportunities, it'd surely be for the best to spend all her free time with you. Speaking of which, were you free tonight? She just had her first sleepover with Rarity and Applejack, and it was so much fun! Though, it'd be a whole lot more fun if they had followed the rules! She'd love nothing more than to have one with you where everything is done by the book and see the results when done right!

🌌 Speaking of research, she's made her own little research book dedicated all to you! It's a little strange, sure, but it's a practice she's enacted since she was a filly. Whenever she was particularly fascinated with a subject, she'd pour all her focus on it ravenously, devouring every bit of information and putting it all down in writing and graphs and charts and drawings, all organized and sorted into categories so the information is easily understood and readily available to look over again and again and again and- well, you get the picture! See? It has different sections devoted to your appearance, your schedule, your relationships, your likes and dislikes, your special talent, what you do for a living. It's even color-coded! And it's decorated with pictures of you and her (which she laminated herself, thank you very much), and Twilight even made little drawings of you in the corners and margins! Adorable and informative - just like you - the perfect combination! But, it's a bit embarrassing, so it's for her eyes only…

💜 She was sure this was all entirely normal behavior, before her five closest friends (besides you!) gave her quite the reality check. This wasn't normal? She was doing it wrong? A cold feeling of shame and shock settles into Twilight. She had only just started her friendship studies and she was already failing? One of the unicorn's eyes twitched. She ran a hoof through her hair, messing up her mane but managing to soothe herself somewhat. Oh sweet Celestia, what would her mentor think if she knew Twilight was getting it all wrong?! The Element of Magic is only drawn out of her silent ruminations by Rarity's teasing insistence that Twilight had a crush on you. A… Crush? Twilight was already out of her depth when it came to discovering the magic of friendship, so when it came to the mysteries of romance, she'd have no idea where to begin. She was so sure everypony had an extra special friend. Hm. It sounded like she needed to do more research on the subject! All the more reason to spend even more time with you!

🌌 Hanging out with you was exhilarating! She had a feeling Rarity was right, considering what Twilight had read up on the subject. Thinking about your crush often? Check! Feeling euphoric during close contact with the object of your affections? Check! Prioritizing your relationship with that pony over all others? Check! Although, there were some behaviors she was exhibiting that weren't detailed in her readings. She found herself unable to think clearly when not around you, which was usually the opposite problem ponies experienced - in fact, it had gotten so bad that she could hardly focus even when reading! None of them seemed to include any mention of intense jealousy of others, fixation on exerting control over objects of affections (it just… Really irked her when you didn't do what she expected of you - like devoting your time to anypony but her!), following you around town when you both weren't actively hanging out. Perhaps seeking out information from a secondary source would be the best course of action? She knew Rarity had at least some knowledge of romance…

💜 Twilight left Rarity's Boutique with a messier mane and far more stress on her shoulders than she had when she arrived. Apparently, her behavior was unusual and bordering on unhealthy. Outwardly, she presented herself as understanding, but the moment she left, she nearly collapsed in despair. Unhealthy. So, not only had she gotten everything wrong, but she was hurting you, as well! Not only was she a failure, but she was being a bad friend on top of that! But, now she was in far too deep. She had already become addicted to you, your presence… And it felt so right to do what she did. She didn't want to stop. Maybe… Maybe she wasn't in the wrong. Maybe it was everypony else that was wrong! She'd prove she wasn't a failure and that she was in the right! All she needed was research materials, the right environment for conducting the study, and her favorite pony in the whole wide world!

🌌 It's the longest time she'd spent away from you since you met, all in order to get the library set up for you. She could barely sleep, unable to think of anything but you. and the next time you and Twilight met, she's absolutely manic, her mane a mess, bags under her eyes, twitching sporadically. She dragged you into the library with her magic, talking a mile a minute and ignoring any questions or objections that came from you. She took you down into the basement, locking the door behind her before prancing around as she went on and on about how excited she was to have her first date with you, that it'd be the start of the rest of your lives together and you'd live happily ever after forever and ever! Spike, clearly uncomfortable, snuck up to whisper to you, reassuring that he and Twilight's other friends had already expressed concerns about the unicorn's behavior to the Princess. The moment Celestia arrived, you'd be set free and Twilight would come back to her senses! … At least, he hoped she would.

Tell me more about velvette and baggies relationship in the swap au

I wanna see all the different and toxicity in it, and how charlie would react to it and all that

*Not sure eif I sent a similar ask to this or not- if I did sorry)

FUCK YES I FINALLY CAN YAP

And dw you did not my ask box is. Empty

Their relationship is vaguely similar to I think, Mammon and Fizz?? Somewhat, I mean I've never watched Helluva but I've seen people talk about it, Vaggie feels indebted to Velvette for getting her to where she is right now yk with being a popular star, and Velvette is. Interesting

Velvette often switches back and forth between treating Vaggie like a bestie and just another demon working under her, and previously before Charlie came into the picture, sometimes like a girlfriend, which leaves Vaggie constantly confused

Velvette often overworks Vaggie to hell and back, but honestly she kinda? means well? A teensy bit, she doesn't want Vaggie to fall from popularity if she leaves the public eye for too long, and Vaggie does like performing/singing and the praise she often gets from it (even if she gets overwhelmed sometimes) so in a way she's trying to help her maintain the fame and praise that Vaggie often seemed to preen over, so in a fucked up way, in her eyes, she's trying to keep her happy and to keep up everything they both have worked hard for (Vaggie's career). She's also like, really into Vaggie but she gave up on that pursuit a bit ago, doesn't stop her from being petty and toxic about it tho

Vaggie is tired and confused, to say the least. She doesn't really know what Velvette actually thinks of her, if she values her in any way, or even care at all about her. Velvette tends to demean and sometimes verbally abuse Vaggie but the next day she tends to sort of make up for it, like she feels bad. In the early days, they were much closer, and Vaggie genuinely liked Velvette, and maybe had a little crush on her.

When Vaggie does good, Velvette showers her with praise, affection, and affirmation but is she slips up, she gets cold and mean, even a little shouty at times, and "honestly are you trying to embarrass me at this point?!" And Vaggie just stands there confused, ashamed, and a little pissed. Does she even see her as anything other than another asset for her brand? She can't tell. Sometimes it feels like she does, sometimes it doesn't. Vaggie is just so confused.

Velvette pushes her so much because she knows she can do better, but she constantly fails to take account Vaggie's limits, boundaries, and feelings, especially since Vaggie tends to mask her true feelings alot, keeping them all inside until they burst under the smallest addition of pressure, which makes her lash out at Velvette when Velvette didn't really deserve it at the moment, which makes Velvette think she's being unfair.

Vaggie feels that Vel is capable of being a better person, she just doesn't see that she's not one already, or that she needs to (or maybe she's just not worth it in her eyes?)

But neither hate the other, not really. Vaggie would like to, but she can't quite get there, while Velvette wouldn't even dream of genuinely hating Vaggie.

It's complicated, they're both fond of each other but also have a certain animosity between each other, esp Vaggie (rightfully so)

They are honestly both flaming messes, Velvette being the worst one of the two and also a part of the reason why Vaggie is a flaming mess aswell-

In short :Vel is a bad boss and a conflicting 'friend', and Vaggie is struggling through it

And Abt what Charlie thinks? She sincerely hopes Velvette explodes, she would do it herself but Vaggie still has an attachment to her (which Charlie sincerely hopes she'd lose, Vel isn't good for her, or much of anyone) so for now she just lets her be, but they always argue w/ each other (Vaggie just sigh tiredly in the background)

Hope this satisfies you, I have alot of thoughts Abt them :3

Double Life

Title: Double Life Pairing: Dottie Underwood x Reader Prompt: 16. "If you look away from me again, I swear I'll stop." Minors DNI, 18+ Warnings: smut, top Dottie, bottom reader, oral (f receiving) NR WC: 1317

Y/n wasn't sure how she felt about Dottie having come back when she did. Dottie had left her without a warning or cause time and time again. Y/n couldn't handle her heart being tugged around like that, but Dottie swore that this time was the last time. She had even agreed to hear Y/n out about the two of them moving out of the city. Y/n could still remember the way her heart jumped for joy inside of her chest whenever Dottie promised that they'd settle down somewhere quiet. The trials and tribulations of Dottie's city job were starting to get to her. She had been through so much, all without putting any of that stress on Y/n directly. Instead, Dottie managed to stress Y/n out in different ways.

"You're such a good girl," Dottie said as she stared at Y/n in the mirror of their motel room. Y/n frowned as she turned around to face Dottie. The newly-redyed blonde hair that Y/n had fallen for was a good look for Dottie, not that the brunette look hadn't worked just as well. There was just something a little more dangerous about the blonde. It did something to her eyes that Y/n couldn't quite put her finger on.

"If I'm so good, why am I here with you?" Y/n asked. Dottie stood up from the bed and walked over to where Y/n had been getting ready. They needed to be out of the motel room early, but Dottie had insisted that they stop and stay a little longer. If Y/n didn't know better, she'd think that Dottie was afraid of something where they were going. California was supposed to be warm, sunny, and beautiful. Best of all, they were a little more open minded than the places down south where Y/n had grown up. "I'm sure that Mr. Bryson doesn't think I'm such a good girl."

"Well I am not ending up with a stuck-up oil boy who likes to play cowboy and ride around on his bulls. You're a good woman out in the world, but you're perfect in here for me. They'd hang us both if they knew how you spread your legs for a dirty communist," Dottie teased. There was something serious in the undertone of her voice. Y/n didn't doubt that she'd be in trouble for the nature of her relationship with Dottie, especially in this stupid small town. There were parts of the Midwest that felt worse than the south, and Dottie had parked them right in the center of it.

"I love it when you get fired up," Dottie with said a wild look in her eye. That was when Y/n realized that Dottie had been messing with her. Dottie liked teasing Y/n to the point of her getting genuinely angry before they fucked. Dottie liked the roughness that came from Y/n being frustrated with her. Dottie wanted to feel the hair pulling and raking of nails going down her back from Y/n. She wanted to turn the sweet and gentle schoolteacher into a something just as despicable and dirty as she saw herself.

Y/n didn't say anything as she felt Dottie slip her hand under Y/n's bra. Dottie's fingers began to tease Y/n's nipple until it was completely hard. Dottie watched Y/n's eyes darken in the mirror as she slipped her other hand in to play with Y/n's other breast. Y/n tried to keep her resolve somewhat strong, but Dottie knew that the woman was putty in her hands already. Dottie leaned down slowly and began to softly kiss along the side of Y/n's neck. Y/n reached up and slid her bra straps off of her shoulders to let the garment slip a little bit more. Dottie took the hint and unhooked it from behind without missing a beat with anything else that she was doing.

"Come to bed," Dottie instructed. Y/n got up and followed Dottie over to the bed. Dottie waited for Y/n to lay down on the bed before she kneeled down onto the mattress herself. Y/n watched as Dottie crawled towards her, pausing only to remove Y/n's underwear. Y/n watched as Dottie's eyes slowly took in every inch of her body. By the time that Dottie got to Y/n's face, Y/n had her head turned away with a deep blush on her cheeks. "Hey, look at me. I want to see you. I want you to see me."

"Sorry," Y/n mumbled her apology quietly. Dottie hated it whenever Y/n apologized for something that didn't require any actual feelings of remorse. It was the overly polite part of Y/n's upbringing shining through. It gave Dottie flashes of the woman Y/n could have been if she had never run away to New York City and ended up in that stupid hotel.

Dottie continued her slow consumption of Y/n's body. Dottie touched Y/n with a delicacy that she knew came from being a trained killer. That was a part of herself that just being around Y/n made her hate. They were on their way from escaping that, even if Y/n didn't have the slightest clue. She still thought Dottie was a dancer, unaware that the only dance that Dottie knew was the one between life and death. Whenever they got to where they were going, Dottie would be a dancer, a real one. She had beauty and grace to spare according to Y/n, and it had always baffled her that Dottie never got work in New York City, but Y/n didn't know that Dottie didn't go to auditions or even try to get a show to see if she could.

"Look at me," Dottie reminded Y/n as she settled in between Y/n's thighs. Y/n nodded as she pushed herself up onto her elbows to watch Dottie. The small kisses and languid strokes of her tongue had Y/n's heart racing in her chest. Every single time with Dottie filled Y/n with a feeling of excitement. She knew that if anybody were to burst through the door they'd both be in trouble. Y/n's entire life could be flushed down the drain because of who she loved, but Y/n didn't care. Surely someone would see how amazing Dottie was, and they'd be able to run away together on the fortune that they would make from Dottie's dancing.

"Dottie please," Y/n moaned as her head fell back. Y/n hated the thought of who Dottie could have been with before her, but she had to thank them at some point. Dottie had a way with pleasure that could have only come with experience. Y/n was learning some of Dottie's tricks, but it was still nothing compared to what Dottie was doing to her. Everything from the softest and most subtle movements could be felt throughout Y/n's entire body. Which was why the moment that Dottie completely withdrew, Y/n felt it immediately. "Dottie, please."

"If you look away from me again, I swear I'll stop," Dottie threatened. Y/n's eyes went wide as Dottie went back in between her legs. It was hard, keeping her focus completely on Dottie whenever the woman was melting away at her brain from between her legs. Y/n was certain that she had to have looked away at least one more time before she came, but by that time, it seemed that Dottie was too into what she was doing to stop. Y/n closed her eyes as she felt her orgasm overtake her, and when she opened them up again, Dottie was laying on her stomach by Y/n's side just watching her.

Can we get Larissa and Marilyn relationship headcanons, please, if no one has asked already?

Maybe how it started and other general relationship stuff?

Note: Going to preface this with the fact that I don’t ship this, however, I do enjoy the ship. Small difference. This doesn’t mean don’t ask me about it though!

And this will likely go more into au territory as, in my opinion, it wouldn’t work that well within the canon of the show unless quite a few things changed. Now that I’ve said all of that, let’s get into it.

Larissa Weems x Marilyn Thornhill Headcanons/ Rambles (w/ spoilers)

Larissa hired Marilyn at first just as an attempt to foster good relationships between outcasts and normies, Nevermore Academy and Jericho. Marilyn would’ve known this.

As the principal Larissa wouldn’t be able to just ignore Marilyn like the rest of the faculty appears to do, so all of the beginning interactions are pretty forced.

One hell of a slowburn. Oh my gods. This is not a relationship that just happens. You're here for the long haul or you're not here at all. (I'm probably gonna speed through it tho cause this a hc/ ramble post, not an entire fic lol)

Marilyn just wants Larissa to like her and genuinely accept her. Sure she's accepted as a teacher but again...that's mostly just for other reasons.

They both develop a respect for the other's work ethic and determination over time though and that's...it, for awhile.

It's likely that it's that mutual respect that leads to a somewhat stable friendship.

Somewhat stable friendship leads to more mutual trust, which leads to actual friendship, and in turn leads conversations not work related. Personal subjects. Learning about each other. You know, typical gateway stuff to either being just best friends or one wanting the other to push them against the wall and kis-....nevermind.

Marilyn has these thoughts first, for sure, but it's early and she can tell that these feelings are not reciprocated.

Larissa knows something is up but given that they're friends now, probably best friends, she doesn't pry. It'd feel wrong, and it's not like the feelings are getting in the way of either of their jobs so...eh.

Marilyn feels like she's walking on thin ice and as though as any significant mistake could undo all of the progress made between the two women, and included in that list of potential mistakes is confessing that she thinks she fallen for Larissa. She hasn't at this point it's more of an infatuation but still.

Marilyn's infatuation dies down eventually but it leaves behind genuine love.

Larissa would start to reciprocate this love before realizing that she's getting genuinely close to someone (again) and no matter if we go with her and Gomez, Morticia, or both, she's going to be resistant to the new whatever their relationship is becoming no matter what.

So she distances herself, going back to primarily professional interactions, which makes Marilyn worry she's fucked up. She hasn't but she's worried about it.

When Wednesday shows up they both have to put whatever mess they've got going on off to the side to make sure shit doesn't hit the fan, which fails, but still.

Shit hitting the fan actually pushes them to interact with each other more which, in turn, leads to them having to acknowledge their feelings for each other.

It all comes to a head at the Rave'N when Marilyn asks Larissa if she was excited about hers, and of course Larissa opens up about only remembering disappointment since Gomez chose to ask Morticia to it and not her....and then, y'know, ✨murder✨ happened.

They talk a little bit more and Larissa can almost swear the punch has been spiked, so she asks Marilyn to watch it for a bit while she goes somewhere else in the room to watch the students.

The whole paint revenge happens and of course Larissa is distraught, and everyone goes back to their dorms while she waits for the police and Noble to figure out what happened and why it happened.

Once all of that is figured out she'd go back to her office/room, still upset. (sidenote: I'm convinced that her bedroom is connected to her office).

After Marilyn gets back from everything with Eugene and Wednesday she goes to tell Larissa about what just happened as best she can.

Now Larissa is surprised that anyone came to her office at this time of night, as everyone was undoubtedly still shaken up from the events of the night. She's happy to see Marilyn though, almost happy enough to get up and hug her. She didn't see the other woman at all during the final events of the night and was worried she'd been the monster's next victim.

Professionalism? Yeah that's thrown out the window here as Marilyn decides her paperwork can wait and ,although she'd feel bad for interrupting Larissa doing her own paperwork, it wouldn't stop her from rushing over and hugging the other.

They'd probably hug for so long that Larissa lets Marilyn sit down on her lap just so she can hold her closer, professional relationship be damned.

The stress of the night and the relief of seeing each other would probably make them confess their feelings to each other.

It feels like forever passes before they let go of each other, going to their respective bedrooms, and calling it a night (well after Larissa finishes her paperwork. She ain't letting that go unfinished).

The next day whenever the both of them has a chance, they talk about the night before to figure out if they both meant what they said. If they in Larissa's office, which they probably are, they share a cautious kiss, not actually kissing until they're sure the other is okay with/ wants it.

Larissa does have to work through her own feelings of being in love with a normie, and Marilyn with an outcast, but they work through them both on their own and together.

General Relationship Things

Y'know that picture of one woman straddling the other while doing her makeup? Larissa is on the bottom and Marilyn is straddling her.

Lots of romantic stuff behind closed doors in order to keep a professional appearance on the outside...although they smile more at each other than in other teachers.

They do each other's hair. I'm right and I know it.

Sitting in each other's offices while one does paperwork and such, and the other grades homework.

Matching. Pajamas. Idk why or how but that thought just fit them.

Dates out in Jericho disguised as work meetings with a different atmosphere.

Late night walks together, and definitely some kisses as long as no students are around.

Promise. Rings.

They definitely have those magnetic necklaces that connect with each other to form a heart. I considered bracelets but it'd be much easier to hide a necklace with their outfits.

Larissa listening to Marilyn ramble and infodump about plants.

Marilyn listening to Larissa talk about various famous outcasts throughout history.

They know each other's Weathervane orders in case only one of them has the time to go out to it.

Extra Thoughts

Now there's definitely an area of conflict here, and it's the fact that Marilyn Thornhill is Laurel Gates, an outcast hating bigot. If we roll with that thought, and her plans for Nevermore with Tyler Galpin/the Hyde and Joseph Crackstone, who's to say she wouldn't be prepared to betray her own feelings for the beliefs she was raised with? That she wouldn't stab Larissa anyway and push down the guilt, crying before going to target Wednesday and the rest of the kids at the academy?

She could also decide not to go through with her plans after all, after a lot thinking, but still kill Noble Walker as he was about to uncover her secrets anyway. Sure the prophecy can't happen is Wednesday isn't there, but it also can't happen if Marilyn decides that she doesn't want to do it. Tyler wouldn't be able to force her to do anything either as he's under her control.

I don't think she'd come clean to Larissa about anything either, choosing to keep everything in the dark. It'd be easier that way.

Although let's say Laurel Gates is someone that Marilyn is working with instead. Under this idea Tyler could be a Nevermore student (if Hyde's aren't banned, obviously) and Marilyn unlocked him for his own safety, and she could've simply been manipulated into helping with the plan. Marilyn subtly outs her for this, leaving evidence where Wednesday can obviously find it and put things together.

Would all that information coming to light hurt Marilyn's relationship with Larissa? Without a doubt, however, since Marilyn was manipulated into things I can see them going to therapy about it separately and together until they've moved past it. Larissa would also pull some strings so Tyler is expelled for murdering people, as a favor to Marilyn and for Tyler's late mother, regardless of whether or not she knew her personally.

I wrote this all in one go. No editing.

Thanks for ask anon!

Installment 3 of my series of "Thoughtz"

Note: "Thoughtz" is a compilation of drafts of fanfic that I've had in my notes for a while. They're unedited and most are unfinished. Since I do not feel motivated enough to finish them, I'm posting them all for you to read. Enjoy~

Pairing: Rock singer Minho × fem!reader (no relationship as of yet). Strangers to Lovers trope

Plot: Your friend drags you to a concert of some stupid band that you've never heard of - except, it's not so stupid if the lead singer is hot...

Warnings: none

Word count: I don't know, but probably somewhere between 500-1k

a/n: I lost interest in this story pretty quick, so it stops early on. HOWEVER, if this gets enough attention, I may be persuaded to complete it.

And as always, feel free to comment.

Please DO NOT copy, translate, or steal my works.

It was the last few weeks before school started up again, and you wanted to enjoy every last bit of it. You were planning to go out of state and visit some old friends since 1: you haven't seen them in what feels like forever, and 2: you're single, so there's nobody (other than you're friends who were almost all on vacation somewhere) holding you back from going anywhere. You had this all planned out and were already preparing for the trip when Jennie, you're one friend who is not on vacation, texts you.

Jennie: Hey! I need a favor...

You: What did you do?

Jennie: I didn't do anything this time, I swear! I just need you to come with me to the VENOM concert at JYPark next Saturday. Everyone else is on vacation, and I don't want to go alone! You HAVE to come with, I don't know what could happen if I went alone!

You: I was planning on leaving to go out of state next week to visit some friends. I don't think I'll be back by next Saturday. Plus, I don't even listen to VENOM's music, or know who they are

Jennie: It doesn't matter, I just need someone with meee! PLEASE come with! I'll owe you a favor!

You: ...

You: Fine.

Jennie has been your friend since you could remember. You had to admit, she did have a somewhat selfish side, but she'd been with you through the thick and thin, and you've developed a soft spot for her. You hastily texted your friends that you'd have to cut the trip a little short because something popped up. They understood and were happy that they'd atleast get to see you.

~TIME SKIP~

You arrived back home the Thursday before the concert. You spent the next days until the concert unpacking, relaxing, and getting settled back in to your schedule. Jennie was filling you in on some basic info about VENOM over texts, and you could tell she was very passionate about them. From what you've gathered, VENOM is a rock band boy group with four members. Chan, the eldest, was the bass player. He apparently had an accent that was "super sexy". Minho was the main singer and keyboardist with "amazing dancing skills that aways captured your attention like a magnet". Changbin was the drummer and was "absolutely stunning and totally kissable" as Jennie had said. Last but not least was Hyunjin, the youngest, who was their guitarist and a "complete heartthrob".

You didn't know exactly how accurate Jennie's descriptions were, but atleast you knew some names. They started the band a couple years ago - was it 2? 3? You hadn't really cared enough to remember - and they've been playing at bars, parties, and small festivals ever since then. They weren't outstandingly popular, but they did have enough popularity to have all of their concerts packed. Their music had to be pretty good then, right?

When the day of the concert came, Jennie excitedly appeared at your door at 8 am. She was already dressed up in as flamboyant of a outfit that you have ever seen. You could tell she took her time on her look. She must have woke up early, but she certainly didn't show it. She had more energy than you.

"You look like you just slept for two days in the luggage compartment of an airplane! Go grab a cup of coffee to wake you up and quickly get back here! We need to get you ready to go by 11!" She said, almost talking a mile a minute. It was hard for your half asleep brain to keep up with her.

"11 o'clock?! The concert isn't until 2!" You said, alarmed. She shooed you into the kitchen towards the coffee machine.

"We're going to the sound check, dummy." She said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Instead of replying, you directed all of your focus (and energy) to making that cup of coffee.

When you came back to your room with the mug in your hand, you found her ruffling through your closet with one hand while the other held an array of clothing.

"Ah, there you are. Are you feeling more green or purple...?" She said, more to herself than to you as she held the clothes up at you. After looking between you and the clothes for what felt like an hour (it was really only a minute), she nodded her head with a huff and got back to ruffling through your closet.

Seeing as she's distracted, you go find your phone to see if you got any messages from your friends. Almost as if sensing your presence, your phone dings from a notification. You pick it up to see that Felix, who also like Jennie, has been your friend since childhood. You used to hang out with him all of the time before you and Jennie went to a different school/college than the rest of your friends.

Felix: Thank you once again for visiting us! The cookies we baked together are already gone... I've got to keep Jisung from eating them all ;) Is everything going alright with you, Sunflower? I know you had to leave early but, I just never got to ask why.

You: I told you you should've hid them from Jisung! I'm doing all right. I had to with Jennie to some concert - she's just being high maintenance as usual, lol

Felix: That's sounds like her. Whose concert is it?

You: Some band called VENOM apparently. I've never heard of them before.

Felix: VENOM? From what I've heard, they're pretty good. My sister went to one of their concerts once with her friends. She actually enjoyed it and she doesn't even like rock music

You: They must be pretty good then

You found yourself saying that quite a bit lately. You didn't know how much faith you had in Jennie's words, but Felix's comforting texts made you feel a little better. He had an incredible skill for soothing people, and that was what you missed most during your school here, along with his warm smile that seemed to light up the whole room. Jennie's voice broke you from your reverie.

"You took a shower last night, right? Well, just put the clothes on that I laid out on your bed and use that perfume I gave you. Be quick too! It's already 8:15 and I have to have enough time to perfect your makeup!" She shouted from presumably the bathroom, where all of your makeup was kept.

She picked out quite the outfit for you. It had a mix of greens and black with silver accents and it gave off the "single and ready to mingle" vibe. It was surprising how she pulled it together, as it was definitely not your style and your clothes closet reflected that. Reluctantly, you put it on and once you looked in the mirror, you had to admit, you did look pretty hot in it.

Jennie was already waiting for you when you made it to the bathroom. She had the counter set up as her workplace, with an assortment of products placed about. She looked at you with your hairbrush in one hand and curling iron in the other.

"Are you just going to stand there and stare like a goldfish or what? Get over here." She said and immediately got to work.

After quite some time, she finally let you look at your final look on the mirror. You were very shocked. You didn't quite look like you, but you looked good - and you liked it. Your now slightly wavy hair framed your face perfectly, and your eyeshadow perfectly complemented your outfit. It was a job well done by Jennie.

"Watcha think?" She said, a smirk tugging at her lips.

"I can't even... wow, just wow. You're incredible, you know that?" You respond, still in awe.

"Oh, I know. You'll thank me later." She said. "Now we've got to go, it's 11:05."

Before you could respond, she hurriedly walked down the hallway to your door and put her shoes on. You followed her and did the same. You felt a little sick to the stomach and you couldn't tell if it was from nervousness or excitement.

Having finally made it to JYPark, you see why she insisted on leaving an hour early. The traffic to get here was out of this world, and the park was crowded with VENOM fans - known as "Oddinary" or "Odds" for short, according to Jennie. *She's got that right. They all are odd. * You thought to yourself. Gazing out at the crowd that surrounded the stage, there was what felt like hundreds of people, each adorned with some piece of VENOM merch paired with brightly colored hair or makeup. For a rock group, their fans looked more like modern pop stars gone wrong.

The concert was set at a plaza in the middle of the park, with trees and well taken care of flowers circling the plaza as far as you could see. Above you was the large expanse of sky that had to be breathtaking at night. Despite the rowdy crowd and stage lights, it felt peaceful here, putting your mind at ease. That peace was short lived.

A commotion broke you out of your stupor, drawing your attention - like many other's- to the stage once more. By the screaming of the fans closer to the stage, you could infer that the band was going on stage for their sound check, whatever that was. You had no clue why Jennie insisted on coming early for it when she was already going to their two and a half hour long concert, but you were just along for the ride.

One by one, four figures appeared on stage. The first crossed to the back of the stage and went up a ramp that led to a higher platform which held the drum set. You tell from here that he was no stranger to the gym. You could see why Jennie called him "absolutely stunning and totally kissable". By the way her face lit up, you figured she had a thing for this drummer. While he was adjusting the drum set, the next figure crossed to the far right of the stage. He picked up the bass that was sitting on its stand behind him and plugged it into the machine on the floor infront of him that held an array of buttons and pedals that did who knows what. The next person caught your eye the moment he came on stage. It wasn't because he had outrageously dyed hair, or an overly bedazzled outfit, but his stage presence seemed to allure you. He had a confidence that made it seem as if he'd been doing this his whole life - and maybe he has. Jennie didn't give you much background information on them, so you had no clue. He truly looked like a professional up there, with each movement purposeful and graceful. He had this charm about him that you couldn't quite put your finger on.

You were so enraptured with him that you didn't notice the fourth member get on stage. His hair drew your attention from - what was his name, Min.. Minho? The guitarist's hair was blonde, much like Felix's, and you suddenly felt keenly aware of how much you missed your good friend. He used to take you to all sorts of new places around town, and it feels almost wrong not to have him here with you even though it's been several years since you had an outing with him. Just the two of you, in a sea of new faces, facing it together. It made you miss your carefree middle school days (even though they may have been embarrassing) where you would explore the city together, sometimes getting in trouble, but never truly facing many repercussions.

Peony Lestrange should be in white everytime the narrative would allow for it. If she participates in the Yule ball, than maybe black instead of white, but she probably won't participate. She should have a lovely, creamy complexion and long, floofy black hair.

She'd probably want to spend Christmas away from Mad Eye Moody and with Grandma. Would want family time for Christmas, and be uninterested in "fun with peers", and is barely interested in school social life, finding it rather boring. Partly because of bullying, partly because she was raised that a lady should stay "pure" and untouched by the world.

Also, she and Neville would be romantically involved, but never actually dated, because Neville is very timid and lacks the confidense to ask a girl out, and Peony is the type of girl who believes boys should do the first move and partially resents herself for falling in love, something she sees as weak and improper, and honestly, doesn't feel ready for it (characters are kids, and some teens just don't feel ready to date, yet). She would feel unready for friendships, but...She would ease into it more because the conflict with Voldemort would push her into making more rash decisions. Would probably be a relationship were they help each other out, chat in the corridors and study together. They'll be happier that way though. Her future is more : "arranged marriage" planned, rather than "true love". Plus, two insecure teenagers with awful self-esteem doesn't scream happy relationship.

I think they might get a future together if she does survive the war, but like pretty late in life - late thirties or early fourties maybe. I love that she is somewhat morally gray? Or she percieves herself as such. I imagine her eerily similar to her mom (only because her dad is ugly as hell)

So not to sound like an old maid amongst y'all but I've been reading a lot of fanfics lately involving SonAmy (because childhood nostalgia bby) and I couldn't help but notice that in a lot of them the way Sonic and Amy's relationship is written is kinda along the lines of:

Amy's only goal is chasing Sonic while Sonic wants absolutely nothing to do with her and avoids being around her at all costs.

Which depending on the fic could work really well in like the angst department and all that jazz. But I can't help but feel a little bit.....saddened that this is how their relationship is perceived especially back in the early 2000s of SonAmy fanfiction. Like there's so much more to these two than just Amy chasing Sonic and Sonic running away ya know?

Amy Rose while her dream is to marry Sonic, it's not the only thing that she literally strives for nor focuses on. Amy also strives to help her friends and loved ones, she strives to get stronger not only for them but for herself as well. She's a flirty, fun and bubbly person who loves to bake and chat with her friends and go on adventures and she daydreams of romance from time to time. She's also determined to do what's right and she follows her heart and puts everything she has into everything she does. She's a big sister to Cream and she's a kind hearted person who's always willing to give people a chance. Amy is so many things and in earlier works of fanfiction she's often times reduced to nothing more than a fangirl who's always chasing Sonic. It's kinda sad when it seems like that's all she's known for.

And then there's Sonic. Sonic's main goal is to go on adventures and save the world and protect his loved ones from evil as well as the innocents of the world. He doesn't really say much word wise in the feelings department yet his actions speak for him and his actions show that he loves his friends to death. He can be stubborn and hard headed and a bit rude yet underneath it is an introverted, and somewhat awkward, jokester dork who loves chili dogs and running and seeing the beautiful things that the world has to offer. He keeps his personal feelings to himself yet he's also willing to step out of that comfort zone if he really needs to. He's got a strong sense of justice and what's right and wrong and a sense of responsibility for those who he protects. He gets awkward around emotional stuff and tends to avoid a lot. Just like Amy, Sonic's many things and has so many parts to him that makes him who he is yet in the early days of fanfiction he's reduced to the boy who runs away from Amy and like with her it's also kinda sad.

And that's not the only thing but it's their relationship too in these things. There's so much more to their relationship than just girl chases boy while boy awkwardly runs away. Sonic and Amy's relationship is a complicated one, and it too is full of many things other than those details.

They're known to be rather close friends, and when things get tough they lean on each other just as they do with their other friends. They share an understanding of sorts when it comes to their relationship and friendship, with Amy being the one who's more vocal while Sonic is the one who's more in the actions department. They care deeply for each other and if I remember correctly in one game manual it's even stated that they're best friends just like Sonic and Tails are. So they like and get along with each other well enough to maintain that kind of friendship between them. It's the little things between them that shows how their relationship works and how complex and deep it is. Like for example Sonic X and Sonic Unleashed we see hints of their relationship and just how it works.

While Sonic doesn't show it often he does appreciate Amy and the things she does for him. Like in the beach episode of Sonic X when she'd made the lucky charm bracelet for him. While he didn't say it out loud it was quite clear in his expression that he was touched by her thoughtfulness in her gift to him. He's so touched in fact that he keeps the bracelet on his wrist underneath his glove so he doesn't lose it while adventuring. And during the battles in the show it's also again made clear how much he appreciates Amy's presence when he relies on her to have his back and in return she does the same. And then there's Sonic Unleashed where once again it's shown how much he appreciates the things she does when she comforts him about his werehog form and let's him know that he's still Sonic in her eyes.

It's that little reassurance that puts him more at ease with it. And then her believing in him even when it seems like it might be impossible. Her encouragement and confidence in him make him in a way feel more ready to take things on when you talk to her in the game.

And then there's Sonic Lost World where at the end of the game Amy sends him a final message before the connection is cut off. As soon as it's cut off Sonic gets instantly upset and somewhat panicky when he can't hear her or Knuckles anymore. It's obvious that he cares about her just like she cares about him, though whether it's romantic or platonic is completely up to us and only known to Sega themselves. Sonic and Amy are connected in a way and they would quite literally take on the world for each other just as they'd do for Tails, Knuckles, Cream and their other friends and loved ones.

It's just idk man it just makes me a little saddened knowing that there's so much to these two and back in the earlier days of fanfiction they were somewhat reduced to only the tiny parts of their actual personalities. Now side note I do enjoy these fanfics I've read and each one of them is a wonderful piece of fiction in their own ways, but I just wanted to talk about this one thing that I'd noticed while reading them.

#oli talks #ooc #muns ramblings #mindless ramblings of a madman #rant kinda #mainly a discussion and observation that I noticed #sonic the hedgehog #sth #sonic the hedgehog games #sonic the hedgehog comics #sth games #sth comics #sonic x #amy rose #amy rose the hedgehog #tails the fox #miles tails prower #knuckles the echidna #cream the rabbit #sonamy #sonic x amy #amy x sonic #character studies #listen to your local crackhead adult talk about fictional characters who shouldn't in no way be this looked deeply into yet here we are #sonic spoilers #sonic game spoilers #I just love them a lot and I wanted to talk about this pattern I noticed is all I have no idea if anyone else has noticed this or not #(this is just my personal opinion please don't go for my throat)#idk man bare with me lol #every fanfiction is amazing and I'll die on this hill okay?

Ranking RWBY + JNPR ships - Jaune

Hello there, for a little fun I decided I was going to rank all of the inter-RWBY and JNPR ships. So only shipping them with characters from those two teams.

And just give a few quick thoughts I have about the ships and all that.

I decided to start with Jaune and JNPR because, well, there might be a few upsets in the RWBY ones. So we shall save them for another day.

Though a quick note regarding Martial Arcs, I don't really read much male on male stuff. I've just never really been into it. So I'm not going to rank it, because I don't really think I'd be able to give it a fair ranking.

My apologies.

And obviously this is all just my opinion.

But let's begin with the obvious.

------

1 Jaune x Ruby

What can I say about Lancaster that I haven't said before. It's an adorable, mutually supportive, and dorky as anything ship. I love it. It's fun to write. But you all already knew that, so I shall not ramble on about it.

10/10

------

2. Jaune x Blake

Knightshade. The best of the Blake x Blond ships. And like the other blond ships Knightshade is kind of an opposites attract situation.

Early Blake's serious aloofness contrasted with early Jaune's well meaning but bumbling attitude works well. Though I don't feel they differ so much as to be complete opposites where their flaws feed into each other.

It's somewhat similar to Ladybug really. Where in Ladybug you have Ruby sort of helping Blake find direction. Being the guiding arrow as it were. And I do think Jaune provides that stability Blake needs as well as being able to loosen her up a bit like Ruby.

And I think Blake would really help Jaune sort of find his confidence. Supporting him and generally helping him come out of his shell a bit.

Though they both do share the trait of not really wanting to ask for help. At least initially.

I think they would have a very healthy relationship as well. With Blake learning to communicate her needs a little better, and trying to understand Blake better. Adorable. Lots of cuddling. Very mutually supportive.

The only thing that keeps it from being a 10/10 for me, is that I don't really see Blake spending enough time with Jaune, with the canon setup, for her to be really interested in Jaune. So you do need to find a way to force them to spend more time with each other at first before they really start spending time with each other regularly.

9/10

------

3. Jaune x Yang

Dragonslayer. The steady and reliable guy that Yang needs. The push out of his comfort zone that Jaune needs.

Yang was one of the earliest people to really believe in Jaune. Really only second behind Pyrrha. So I think that having someone who is always in his corner and willing to direct with him and tell him if he's being an idiot would really help Jaune.

I think Yang would see Jaune someone, who isn't Ruby, that she could really trust and probably be more honest with than she is with Ruby. What he lacks in skill he makes up for in always being willing to try and put in effort. And I'd imagine she'd appreciate him seeing Yang more than her yangs if you catch my drift.

Though really I'd say Dragonslayer really hits it's stride post fall. Once they've both had a chance to mature a bit.

A decent bit of that being that I don't think Yang would be interested in Jaune at Beacon. Except for maybe a few years into it if the fall never happened. So Beacon era Dragonslayer gets a 7/10, but post fall and Dragonslayer as a whole gets,

9/10

------

4. Jaune x Nora

If I would have done this list a little over a month ago, Nora's Arc probably wouldn't be as high. But honestly, it is a really fun ship to write.

Nora, of course, brings a lot of energy to whatever relationship she's in. And I think Jaune does a good job at working with that energy. Not feeding into it too much like Ruby would, but also not chaffing with it like Blake would.

Howlingday could probably give you a better synopsis of why Nora's Arc works.

It's fun. It's sweet. It's a bit horny in my case. I really do enjoy it.

8/10

------

5. Jaune x Weiss

White Knight, 2/3 of the Pyrrha x Jaune x Weiss love triangle.

Jaune sort of acting as Weiss' window into the normal world. With him being more that willing to give her the love that she sorely lacked growing up.

Behind Lancaster I do feel that White Knight has the best development in the show. From unrequited love to friendship and mutual trust. Though I can see why Jaune's actions during Beacon would turn some people off it.

I don't really have much to say about it. It's a fairly well developed ship with an unfortunately rocky start that can be very cute.

7/10

------

6. Jaune x Pyrrha

Ah, Arkos. The ship that wasn't meant to be. Obviously the most popular ship for both characters.

I like it. I think they work well together and they would be cute together and I've read some very well done Arkos stuff.

I just don't particularly care for any of the partner ships.

I still like it, just don't love it.

6/10

------

In conclusion, Jaune works well with all of the RWBY and JNPR girls. I could see him having a relationship with any of them, though I think a few have a higher barrier to entry than others.

I shall be back with Nora some other time.

Thank you for reading through this mess.

Nora | bisexual awareness week '23 q's & a's

A/N: Tagging @choicespride (tysm for the questions!),, Nora's my Crimes of Passion MC who's bi and I have written some stuff (very few, if I might add, which I hope to change) for her, talking about her bisexuality, which you can check out too. (Once I find the goddamn link)

When/how did your OC/MC realise they were bisexual?

Nora realised she was bi in a very gradual way. It wasn't a quick sign from the Gods, rather a step by step process. She didn't put a label to it until after she started dating one of her friends and ever since then, she'd kept it a bit quiet.

Growing up in the 90s and early 2000s where bisexuality was not discussed at length and the LGBTQIA+ community received a lot of general condemnation, Nora never really had a chance to explore the bisexual culture or get to know some queer people herself; outside of her relationship. She didn't realise it was called "bisexuality" until after her then-partner, Stephanie told her so after she realised she liked boys the same way as she liked girls.

Is your OC/MC out? When/how did they come out? To whom?

Nora never had a big coming out ceremony or anything. She understood it and moved on, because for the most part she doesn't have an active social life. But she did come out to Uncle Tommy when she first realised so (he was accepting, ofc) during college and introduced him to Stephanie (which ended up being a terrible decision because they tag-teamed against her)

After college, she went to the police academy to train to be an officer and there, she came out to her friend, Officer Darwick. She obviously did come out to Ruby, Luke and Mafalda once she found the situation apt. It wasn't a huge deal, of course but Nora has had experiences where her telling people she's bi has turned some heads in negative ways. These days, she's careful about disclosing her sexuality.

Who are your OC/MC’s bicons?

Nora doesn't have bi-icons but she had a couple of people in film and TV that made her realise she was bi.

Specifically Kiera Knightley in Bend It Like Beckham (she's watched all the soccer movies), Freddie Mercury, Tomomi Nishimoto, Cynthia Rothrock, Annie Lennox and the main characters of X Files, Dana Scully and Fox Mulder. Nora was a huge TV kid.

Does your OC/MC have any friends/family in the LGBTQIA+ community?

Mafalda, her boss, is queer, who has a wife in canon. They generally get along pretty well; Mafalda, though not invested in Nora's personal life, is definitely somewhat concerned about her wellbeing. Trystan, Nora's partner and is a mild annoyance, is bisexual like her and they have had fun times watching movies, discussing people ("Why is everyone hot?") and other things. Some of Nora's underground friends are also queer, but they are merely informants so they don't really talk about anything besides work and information. And that is about it.

Nora doesn't really talk to people, she's hardly ever on the internet or out on the streets. She might find some people during pride marches or queer clients, but most of them lose touch. Same with her ex-partners as well.

How would your OC/MC describe their sexuality?

"It's like this, all right, yeah? I just don't know how, but I feel like I'm trapped in between two Hozier songs."

How/why did you decide to make your OC/MC bisexual?

It stemmed out of purely selfish reasons - for me to better explore my own identity through Nora since as I do research into her character and write her, I may be able to understand parts of myself as well.

On the other hand, there was this inexplicable truth. Nora would be bisexual. It was one of the first things I jotted down about her character. Literally "I didn't know how her crisis response is, but she definitely likes men and women!" and also because the world might like more disaster bi representation.

Is your OC/MC celebrating Bisexual Awareness Week? How?

Nora leads a very monotonous life and hates getting dressed up in anything other than her usual get-up. But she might be willing to change her clothes for a bit; just her shirt into a nice purple striped one. She might get a different coffee and a nice pastry, for making it through to see another bisexual awareness week and spend her nights watching a bunch of period dramas with Kiera Knightley in it.

Anything else you’d like to share about your OC/MC and/or their identity?

Nora is very quick to develop fondness for people, regardless of gender but she doesn't show it. The moment Trystan attacked her with a serving tray, she was like "Oh shit, okay. Damn. Okay. Fine." - just absolute pandemonium. When Aneesa, her ex-partner marched up to her, blood on her sleeve to file a police complaint, Nora was just bi-panic throughout. She tends to fall a bit in love with people who give off confidence in any way. It could be a TA explaining a concept with such passion in their eyes, or a barista sketching out a name with such expertise.

Another dead giveaway was when she saw Pride and Prejudice with her friends during a movie night in college. As much as she was behind the Darcy x Elizabeth ship, she found it much more appropriate to ship Elizabeth with Caroline Bingley. After the movie, she had a lot of questions to ask herself, including why she had to simply unearth all of Kiera Knightley's movies immediately.

Nora wasn't on good terms with her sexuality when she immediately found it out. Learning about it in the early 00s when there was sparse awareness made her jump to a lot of hurtful conclusions - including how "it could've been a trauma response", because this was just huge. Nora wasn't used to such a huge revelation. She'd had enough of them in her childhood.

Seeing its implications happen right in front of her - homophobia in her college, in workplaces - it wasn't fun. She didn't embrace it until after Stephanie and her broke up (because she was off to med school in a different part of the country and Nora was staying back) and she got to deal with it, in that chunk of time. Later she learned it was yet another fraction of her identity and she didn't have to take it all fast and strong; explore it in her own time and the future needn't be all grim and worrisome. For every hundred queerphobes out there, there was at least one person to have her back and that optimism kept her going forward.

Nora has had literally the most chaotic dating history ever, which is ironic since she's only ever dated three people until she hit her early 30s.

Stephanie Graham went on to become a pathologist, because she found forensic sciences boring. Rowan Greene hopped from being a police officer to a pink rockstar. Aneesa Wang had to say a tearful goodbye after getting framed for a crime she did not commit and Nora had to send her off in a boat to whichever place she preferred; to escape charges. Not once did she get a traditional "break-up" with an argument or anything. Everyone was in such a rush, everyone fell out, everyone just had to leave.

It did leave Nora with some -- protective issues to deal with, which explained why she got the first plane to Drakovia when Trystan was taken away by his family.

Speaking of Trystan, they both come out to each other in the most unexpected way. They're both watching a film in the theatre; Trystan had brought a book with him to judge the adaptation well. Nora's just beyond agitated. They see two people on screen played by quite an attractive man and a very buff woman - essentially the lead actors and they're breathing heavily after a chase scene. Nora cannot keep her eyes away from the screen and Trystan does too and in the end, Trystan is like "Okay, the adaptation is good." Nora doesn't need words to know he's feeling the same jittery bi panic as she does. It's just so pure, it takes them back to when they were teens understanding themselves, it is just the smallest but sincerest acknowledgement of their commonality. That they truly get it.

****

Tysm for reading! Tumblr is glitching like crazy, so I hope this reaches you glitch-free!

i don't get intimidated (girl, i celebrate it)

ffxivwrite2023 #13: check look at; take notice of.

Pre-relationship Tsuna/Hancock. Post-Stormblood. 993wc. ⮞ Checklist, 1 2 3 / you can tell me what you need ♫ (can it be me?)

Being a wealthy ijin living in Kugane for some time now made the presence of beautiful people somewhat of a given to Hancock Fitzgerald. Not in an arrogant or conceited way, mind you; where other, lesser men would forget their roots, Hancock could never forget his humble own and he looked upon those who clamoured for his attention and coin without disdain. How could he, when he himself knew what it was like to be desperate, to hope someone else would pick him from the squalor of an old life?

So, just as the early mornings of the port city were misty and the dining prices for tourists who didn't know any better were exorbitant if not outright extortion, Hancock was used to the preening and vying of men and women alike looking for a ticket out of poverty by way of his lap. He offered those who truly, earnestly needed it his coin purse but indulged even fewer in more base desires. Lord Lolorito had him here for business, not pleasure, after all, and Hancock was loyal to the man and the job.

But this—this was a feeling he wasn't used to.

Mizuhiki no Tsuna smiled across the bar, nodding along behind her folding fan as she listened to some ijin's tall tale of a battle he most certainly did not actually partake in. She was a vision in crimson as rich as the sunset over Kugane and she was quite deliberately emphasizing her breasts and curves to attract a growing crowd of men desperate to have the attention of a beautiful Hingan woman.

Her smile was like the sun. It wasn't directed at him.

Hancock knew since the Scions' first day in Kugane that Miss Tataru Taru took a particular interest in the Holstery's tavern and could be found here more often than not, playing up her charm as a foreign and rarely-seen Lalafell in this part of the world to curry favors and information out of local men. He'd also known that Tsuna would often join her on these ventures, herself being an expert in the arts of seduction and reconnaissance and objectively drop-dead gorgeous. But to see her in action, surrounded by other ijin men who thought of her only as their ticket to staying in the city or a good time in bed—

Something about it was churning his belly.

They were birds of a feather, the two of them, cutthroat when it came to coin and disinclined to reveal their full hand at once, doing good for themselves and those they cared about at the cost of their reputation. He was simply looking out for her, obviously, as someone who understood her character better than any other. It wasn't that deep.

But no. Tsuna knew what she was doing; she wasn't an innocent flower that could be preyed on. If anything, the woman was a fly trap, dripping honey in her words and actions. Luring others in was simply what she did best. She didn't ask to be looked after and she certainly didn't need to be.

(Hells, she'd all but lured him in too.)

Mizuhiki no Tsuna had no need for him. But… what of him for her?

"You must pardon me, ladies," Hancock said gently to his own entourage. "I see a friend of mine I must speak to." If the women who'd clung to him from the moment he entered the Holstery were bothered by his dismissal they said nothing, as per custom of Hingan inability to be straightforward.

A few of the men around her must have recognized him because they gave him dirty looks, muttered to each other, and promptly made themselves scarce when he approached. Tsuna didn't look offended at their sudden dispersal, resting her elbows on the table in a way that only further emphasized her cleavage as she waved them goodbye with a sly wiggle of her fingers. One of the men tripped up the stairs at the sight and Hancock made a note to find a reason to damn his next shipment of exports.

"Lady Mizuhiki!" he greeted jovially as he slid into the seat beside her when they were alone at last, keeping at a distance appropriate for colleagues.

"Hancock," Tsuna said, thankfully amused at his appearance. Her voice fell on him like cool, fresh water at the end of a sweltering Ul'dahn day and he thought he could drink it in forever. "I had not taken you for the sort of man to chase a woman's paramours away like a nuisance of pigeons."

"But you have taken me," he quipped and was delighted to draw a surprised laugh from her.

Beneath the shadows of the table, Tsuna reached out to rest a slender hand—that same hand that flippantly waved off her prospective lovers just moments before—on his knee and kept it there. He smelled only mint and yuzu and bergamot on her; she hadn't taken any drinks from her courtiers. "That I have."

Fighting back a swallow more appropriate of a teenager, he shifted a little closer. "I heard the Scions were busy on the Yanxian coast, but I did not think I would be so lucky as to be in your presence tonight," he said. "So, is it business or pleasure that brings you here tonight?"

"A bit of both," she said in turn. Her eyes were the colour of a fine champagne but in the low lights of the Holstery they almost glowed gold, more tantalizing than all the riches in Ul'dah's coffers. Leaning closer, she murmured, "But I could be persuaded to make it just one."

"I've given my aide the night off," he admitted, hoping he didn't sound overly eager or desperate. "The offices of the Ruby Bazaar are better for your presence, my friend."

Tsuna raised a thin brow but she didn't hide her smile behind her fan this time, taking his offered hand and disappearing into the city with him.

You know I'd been on the fence about how HBO had made Tess a momma before the world went to shit but after she's taken over my mind I think it works well as a way to contrast Joel and put her on equal footing to him in regards to "parental pain" in the apocalypse. Tess, unfortunately, is such a small role that nothing deeper gets to be explored with her and her death, while something that happens early and fast, I think sets a good tone for Joel's flaws later on.

I guess long rant with somewhat headcanons/assumptions of what their pre-show life entailed.

I see a lot of people assume that had Tess lived, she'd have gotten maternal, attached to Ellie and that she'd aid Joel in saving her at the end. I don't really understand that. She's the practical one. "The Brains". Joel's whole schtick is that the end of the world made him terribly codependant. We see it when he's hell bent to get to Tommy and we see it when he lies to Ellie, because he'd do anything to keep his cloth daughter close and dear. He's fiercely loyal and protective to a fault, to the point of smothering someone not aware of it.

This is what Tommy/Maria were warning Ellie of. Tess had enough of a head on her shoulders to control and keep it from strangling her. Its not that he's being intentionally malicious, but his fear of losing the thing he's emotionally dependant on will make him do malicious things. I do fully believe he was a raider/not a good person independent of Tess after things went to shit. Whatever you want to call it, "doing what needed to be done" for his brother/their survival, but he was still willing to kill and more for their protection and to provide.

I think for whatever the complexities of their relationship, being Tess' muscle meant he had his Thing to latch onto once Tommy was gone. "I never asked you to feel the same..." perhaps it wasnt so much that he didnt return her feelings so much as she realized what he did return would never be more than him clinging to a life line, stunted emotionally, and unable to keep a balanced relationship that she wanted. She accepted he couldnt meet the expectation, and he became her dog.

All that to say is when we get to the end of the show, and we see that Joel found "who he can save", we are made to feel warmth in that he and this orphaned girl have found family and hope in each other through all the loss....and while it is good, and I like that Joel will do whatever he needs to for his charge, I think its a mighty injustice to the writing and his character to say it wasn't also driven by a flaw of his that can be a sleeping giant of bad traits.....

But then you look outside of just the story were given, and ask "what if it was Tess who survived" or "What if all three made their way west". I dont think this would have ended with the same (mostly) feel good moment if a torn parent finding a way to love like that again.

Tess is the brains. She is the practical one. She is much more aware. Its needed of her to keep contacts and run smuggling rings inside a QZ. Her demons are different than Joel's, and making her a mother in her backstory allows her to be on the same footing as him when making that journey with Ellie.

We see her warm to Ellie much faster than Joel. I don't think this is simply just "maternal instinct" kicking in. It'd be an injustice to boil their friendly interactions down to such. Tess knows when she needs to be a hardass, but she also knows when she wants to let her guard down and be a person. Ellie is cargo, Ellie is precious, Ellie also realizes what her job is and does not seem to want to bolt now that shes outside. And for that, Tess can see her as some teenager being a teenager, and because Tess hasnt entirely walled off her humanity, she jokes and talks with this kid before they make the agreed upon hand off. Its not maternal at this point, it is simply beating the time while doing business.

In this, Tess' demons are different. She does not emotionally wall herself off and then cling to the one person she formed a relationship with. She's much more emotionally aware. She's intelligent. Her dying wish is that Joel does something worth while for once, for the both of them. "We're shitty people"/"We're not good people" seems this sits on her mind.

I think Tess is aware what the end of the world has made of her, and not only does she regret it I believe she also resents how well she slid into this role. She survives, and it is just that. Even if she can smile still, she wants more. We see it with her friendship with Bill and Frank. We see it in the line implying she wanted more with Joel. Instead she realizes the best she can do in this world is a raider and smuggler with a partner who is as close to good enough in this world as she's going to get.

I think if Tess survived instead of Joel the ending would be simple. She takes Ellie west, she gets attached to this witty orphaned girl, becomes protective of her, and feels something more for the first time since the world ended.....

And when they reach the fireflies, she gives Ellie away.

This had gone from a business deal with protected cargo to a shepherd leading his sacrifical lamb (even if Tess never thought this to be literal). I think despite her being sure in her decision, Tess lives the rest of her days hoping to hear news of a cure. Without success this was just another selfish act, an endeavor to make her feel better and redeemed. Hope and good deeds clouding her judgement when she should have listened to her gut screaming to save this child. If there is no cure, not even a direction for obtaining one, then another innocent life was taken by her direct action.

I think worse however is if Tess and Joel both survive to the end. They both bond with Ellie, they see more in each other, flashes of the past are more vibrant now. The feeling is strong, but like that of a phantom limb...

Joel's attachment becomes an issue. I feel like Tess would have anticipated this, but not anticipate that Ellie would have to die for a cure. She certainly would not anticipate that Joel would bite her hand.

HBO canon states she killed her husband when the world ended. Joel could never fill those shoes, but it didnt make the action any easier. In this, Tess' story has come full circle. She kills her partner and cannot do right by the child shes come to love dearly.

Only this time the emptiness and pain feels different. Back when the world ended she didnt know if she would survive. But its decades into the apocalypse, she's become a survivor and quite good at it, but now she's not entirely certain she wants to.
