i believe Danny is ADHD enough to not realize he doesn't actually have super-durability but has just subconsciously learned to minimize damage as much as possible

#*dougdoug voice* BEGIN DISCUSSION *incredibly loud buzzer noise* #Danny Phantom #as someone with ADHD i do not remember Times Before Big Change all that much #i don't remember my skillsets from back then. i don't remember if it was always like this or if something changed over that time #to be fair in this case i think he is capable of healing from fucked up shit. but it still fucks him up as much as it would a regular human #he can survive worse stuff but he's not any more durable than a regular human. maybe less because of the nature of ectoplasm #he just. can survive longer #OH i'm just realizing that this has super duper angst potential #like Danny being like ''yeah i've survived crazy shit i can survive mom & dad/the giw/whatever'' #& then he like. realizes very suddenly that he cannot survive This #mhm mhm taking notes for stuff n things

people dont talk enough about how heartbreaking the marlon betrayal mustve been for clem too,,

this dude saves the life of her and her kid. takes them in has them patched up gives them their first hot meal in who knows how long. gives them a safe place to stay. possibly permanently. confides in her that hes trying to be a good leader but feels like and fears that hes failing. asks her to help him take care of the rest of the group. helps her get over her fear of dogs by asking her to trust him. and things go well. she feels safe. like this place could really finally be the home shes been looking for

but as soon as she finds out what happened to the twins. that marlon planned on giving up her and aj too. she immediately becomes a liability to him and he attempts to kill her for it. locks her in the basement to die by walker. then tries to turn the group against her so he can shoot her instead when the first method fails. and he nearly succeeds

then a majority of the group turn against clem the minute aj kills marlon. ignoring marlons mistakes but condemning aj for his. like clem wasnt betrayed by marlon in the exact same way he betrayed the twins. like she literally wasnt almost killed twice? and how long had he been considering giving her up? was it always some contingency he planned? did he truly want to keep them around and things only changed when he feared the raiders had returned? she'll never know

#i think about this a lot... the betrayal... clems deep trust issues... then they all want to kick her out (except vi aasim and tenn 💕) #when she was just as impacted if not more so than the rest of them. since she was the only one with her Life on the line #thats why violet fighting so hard for them to stay is so important imo and would MEAN SO MUCH to clem too #vi and aasim are the only ones who can see past the bullshit and realize that theyre safer with clem around #while the rest would rather kick her out so they dont have to acknowledge their confused feelings about marlon #like first marlon betrays her then the rest of the group tell her to get fucked and die. dont come back. we never want to see you again #but she does. and she saves them #personally i do think marlon had 'good' intentions but he was a scared and fucked up kid who made bad decisions #and continued to make bad decisions to cover for his previous fuck ups #but that just makes him interesting :) #and i like teaching aj the difference between people like marlon and people like lilly #all of clems 'wow i feel so safe here :) and these guys seem smart :)' personal dialogue around ericsons makes me 😭 #she was so happy to be at ericsons. and they turn against her so fast when she was more of a victim than any of them #aj is a literal baby. do not treat him like an adult who can make fully rationalized decisions. hes a baby and he only knows survival #at least they slowly get over it after clem comes back (some take longer than others...) #but the lack of compassion in voting to kick them out is heartbreaking. she was heartbroken #and thats not acknowledged as much as it should be #posting this old drafted post now cuz it expands my feelings on clems broken heartedness about the marlon situation #it speaks #twdg

Lightning, water, and fire! Like forever before the plot starts. By the time the plot starts, the lightning and fire deities have been subjected to punishment by the two gods that picked them.

Oh (the fire deity) is first to be punished. They basically decide that since they're going to live for a long time, gotta set some long time goals! And they opt to be the wrath of the gods since most of the other deities are too 'soft' in their opinion. So Oh just. Smites humans. This isn't really a /good/ thing and in their defense mentally, they do it to help Ymber since he's the softest of them all. So their punishment by the gods is to be split in two, effectively halving the power of one into two. (Now they are in a male and a female body and use both male and female pronouns apart since they together make they but apart it feels weird to be they. But prior to the split they use they/them. Also the split bodies go by the names Ohiwe and Ohime.)

Fulj is the second to be punished. She falls in love with a mortal woman and that is a crime according to the gods. Mortals and immortals are not to be together and it will only bring suffering to both sides. So her punishment is her memories of the woman are stripped and her body basically broken to the point she can't remain physical all the time.

Ymber, unfortunately, is the one who blames himself for the discoveries and punishments. If he had only tried to restrain Oh more then maybe they would have chilled out and stopped before being punished. If he had only tried to persuade Fulj to not continue seeing the mortal woman so often perhaps she wouldn't have been punished. So he's just increasing the guilt on his shoulders every day that he remains unpunished since the elder gods have both laid down to rest. They can't enforce their laws anymore and none of the deities are keen on harming one another at this point. They just want to continue existing in peace.

#the daily life of a deity sucks #and then ymber falls in love with a human and is like welp this sucks and i understand fulj now #i also would have accepted the punishment for this #and fulj doesnt even remember the woman she was punished for and doesnt remember how she was before #so she is like hey ymber please just go and kiss the weird human i dont even like him but youre being mean by not kissing him #and ymber is just having the worst time of his life being encouraged by someone who used to be so happy #who he also encouraged to be happy once upon a time #also ohiwe and ohime pop up in the water city to bully ymber sometimes but its still in the way of #dude we like you please grow a spine its been a thousand years please grow a backbone and tell us to piss off #and he never tells them to piss off #also fulj has a long braid here but you cant really see it #and she loves to braid ymbers hair and he gets to braid hers when shes giggling and chatting about love #and a short while after the punishment fulj chops the braid off and ymber is like welp my friend is officially gone #and then he cuts his own hair and leaves to go develop his city alone in seclusion #and he sometimes just cuts it really short because hes still sad and soggy and thinks of fulj braiding his hair #and then she shows up one day when hes debating how long its getting and she smiles #and tells him he looks good with longer hair #so he kinda keeps it a messy short then it gets to be medium and he decides he can survive with medium but he couldnt do long again #but once again fulj is the reason for his life choices (and guilt) #also before anyone asks yes all the deities have a collar #its very important actually that they are collared its lore information thanks #and for what it matters - after oh is split both forms are just as tall #theres just two of them at half power but they are both tall

No you guys don’t understand. Neil was playing as a way to try to live and how he wants to try actually living instead of surviving. Winning against the ravens doesn’t matter to Neil, winning against his father does. But the books don’t end with Baltimore. It ends with the raven game. But this game means more to Kevin than it can ever to any other characters. All for the game. Neil can survive without exy. He can run away and start a new life. But kevin day does not have anything else. This entire series is for kevin day

i'm surprised i haven't seen anyone point this out yet, but.... belos isn't dead. like. sure he got stomped on. but also a few months earlier he crashed into a wall with more than enough force to crack it, shattering his entire physical form, and came back from a few drops that hit hunter's shoulder. he possessed the titan with the smallest sliver of slime that escaped raine's magic. that fucker's not dead. and before you say he got melted... the rain stopped. king said some was on his claw. we've seen belos regenerate from less. he's not dead. and i don't think he'll be dying anytime soon. not if he has anything to say about it. just a thought.

#i don't think immortality is particularly kind to him though #well i think he CAN die it's just. very hard. #and i don't think this will be a good thing for him #he thinks he just needs more time #but the longer he's had the more failures he's seen. and they've gotten worse and worse. #he loses more and more of his 'humanity' so to speak #he doesn't even have a body anymore #he has to survive on vessels which inevitably rot with him inside #but he can't give up. because what has this even been for? #caleb's been dead for a long time. but philip hasn't exactly been living. #idk man i like philip wittebane he is so doomed <33 #the villain ever :] #toh #the owl house #philip wittebane #emperor belos #this might be nothing lmao #the crew might say 5 minutes from now 'no that loser's definitely dead' #and i'd just be here like 'okay!

Mirror!Neelix & Mirror!Kes Thoughts: Shared theme of destruction. Leaning further into Kes' 'insect' vibes where the Ocampa are actually a locust-like species that require a near constant source of food, though any food will do (it doesn't have to be a cooked dish). The caretaker was able to satisfy that but since Kes is alone now she finds that she's hungry a good deal of the time. Ocampa have been known in the past to cannibalize one another if there isn't another source of food. Also, I can imagine Mirror!Kes playing into the fact that other species view her age as being very young and pretending to be naive or in need of help in order to get others to let their guard down. Manipulative and often irritated by others. Despite playing into the fact that others might see her as a child, she deeply resents it. Lashes out in covert ways which she can deny. Wants to unlock her telepathic abilities to gain more power. Views herself as special and above others for being able to reach the surface. Mirror!Neelix I can imagine as having a direct hand in the destruction of his home and family. Basically, he became a soldier instead of running away. Has a poor reputation with other Talaxians because of this which he resents. Is still deeply sad about the deaths of his family but tries not to think about them at all. Also unlike regular Neelix who somewhat oversells his abilities, Mirror!Neelix undersells them. Much more lethargic and outwardly jaded/bitter than regular Neelix. Intentionally poisons Voyager's crew on a monthly basis but not Janeway or Chakotay and never lethally so she doesn't kick him off. Can make amazing dishes but often intentionally ruins them. (Good food is a special treat). Obviously dislikes his lot in life and enjoys bringing others down. Finds Tuvok intriguing because he seems immune to this. ('I want to make him happy!' is mirrored as 'I want to make him sad!') Since Voyager's Mirrored goal in my mind is 'conquer' instead of 'explore' - they often see Kes & Neelix as nuisances since they don't seem to care at all about growing their influence or being feared throughout the quadrant at first. However, Kes quickly learns to like conquering and power and grows to admire both Janeway and Tuvok. Neelix doesn't much care about conquering so much as he wants to mooch off Voyager's resources and make others miserable. Eventually becomes attached to Voyager's crew but that doesn't mean he'll poison their food any less, especially if he hears them complaining. Even after this change they're still viewed as nuisances because they don't care about any command structure except for 'Appease the Captain'.

#also in the mirrored verse Neelix is just as possessive at first but Kes is very irritated by it and they fight a lot #eventually they stop their on-off romance and just become partners in crime and their relationship improves (to everyone's dismay) #<- they are twice the nuisance 24/7 #In the mirrored verse Kes wants to the doctor to make some sort of serum/medication that can keep her alive longer #st voyager #Neelix #Kes #mirror voyager #mirror Kes also wants to eat dead crewmates v_v EMH will NOT let her until he does an autopsy thank you very much #mirrorverse to me is: Voyager crew is still a fucked up little family made unhealthily close due to the circumstances <3 #they just ALSO kill and conquer and torture people and are evil #WELL....that's the more 'zany' mirrorverse. My other Voyager 'mirrorverse' is just basically 'wrong decisions' AU #where they're still a fucked up little family made unhealthily close due to the circumstances <3 #they just ALSO have made so many impossible and bad decisions that they're paranoid beyond belief and have essentially abandoned Starfleet #code and many of their own morals to focus entirely on survival while feeling guilty and miserable the entire time #but this is the zany version where their backstories are changed - in the 'wrong decision' AU they start out as the same people/backstories

mid-apocalypse Steve with a shaved head is living rent free in my mind rn

#steve harrington #he struggles for a long time before he can actually manage to do it #but the occasional supply shipment the government actually lets through only has so much #and in the long run it was just… easier. felt better than letting it get all lank and dirty #robin did it too. In solidarity at first but then because she likes the buzzed feeling #and yeah when Steve occasionally looks into a grimey mirror it’s hard to see who he was before everything. #underneath the scars that trace all the way back to ‘83 and lack of puffed up mullet #but there wasn’t a lot of time for a hair routine in between swinging a bat at monsters anyways #the only attention he can spare for hair those days is when it’s his turn to wash and braids Max’s- still out after all that time #and when one of the other little kids with too long hair ask #because not all the lifers got out before it was sealed. too many kids stayed behind in the wasteland #but Steve was always good at three things anyways. Hair. Babysitting. and sticking himself into danger so no one else had to. #so it’s kind of fine that his hair was gone. better in some ways. less time to have to avoid looking at himself in the mirror #more time to take care of the others #Robin always affectionately runs her hand over his head anyways. pressed a quick kiss to every scar on his scalp #(if he survives he grows his hair nearly to his shoulders. treats caring for it like a ritual.) #(but that’s only if he lives) #pyreposting #something something his go to self-soothe being touching his hair and no longer being able to

god help me i'm going insane about dickson xenoblade again

#this is what i get for thinking about lord of the rings too hard this week (specifically denethor / gríma / saruman and the like) #thinking about the way anthony may delivered “when will you learn you HAVE no future?” #he thinks shulk is fully DEAD at that point. he thinks HE killed him. which he very much meant to. but now that the kid is no longer there #now that the terrible future he's been preparing for and actively working to bring about has in fact come about #i don't know that dickson really cared anymore. he played his part he did the deed expected and he did it unquestioningly. So What Now? #well. now nothing. now the world that he spent so long biding his time in; so long getting enmeshed in (even for nefarious purposes) #is about to end; is about to be gone forever. #sure zanza will probably just create another world and maybe he (dickson) will have Even More Power in the new one #(though that's not a given! he doesn't know for SURE his lord and god will keep his promise!) #but like. what the hell does he care at this point #dickson SAYS he wants power but i suspect that long long ago what the giant dickson really wanted was SURVIVAL. #we never get to know just how he became a disciple or what the giant civilization looked like in its heyday or how it ended #but in MY headcanon dickson saw that some kind of destruction coming and he wanted Out #and maybe he hated his peers and figured any power and prestige that came from this bargain was just a bonus #i think he thought of himself as a saruman type: powerful; remote; far above the petty troubles of mortals (even the long-lived high entia) #but i have always headcanoned that by his later days (i.e. when he started engaging w/colony 9; machina village; etc. in earnest) #he committed too hard to the bit and started “going native” as it were; started to give a shit in ways that he would never dare admit #maybe not as much of a shit as; you know; a regular guy would. but more than an immortal disciple and horseman of the apocalypse should. #and all the time knowing that all the world he'd seen would soon be gone #maybe everyone else can get fucked. but shulk had to die too. and that's what their god MADE them to do. #he can't allow himself to care or to hope for another option bc in his mind it's already over; decided; that's it #what else can you do in the face of ultimate power but bow to it and take whatever scraps may fall to an obedient servant? #“you have no future” nor does he except that shulk came back. except that the peoples of bionis/mechonis just wouldn't accept Fate. #and in some final rebellious corner of his mind he starts putting eggs in shulk's basket. “if they can't even defeat telethia they won't #stand a chance against me (or zanza)” so let's see if they CAN. oh they did? how about a dragon? oh fuck they defeated the dragon too? #well fuck. maybe there WAS another option all along. but will/can they stand against me; the final disciple? oh they can?? #guess i'll die then bc i'm not looking THAT in the face. i am NOT unpacking my cowardice/failure/lack of vision after all these years. #good luck with that tho <3 you're welcome for the training btw. where i'm going i don't have to see your trauma assuming you live that long. #dickson #xenoblade

[symbioticsimplicity]

This one is less fun and cute, time to suffer.

Steve and Eddie switch off houses for their hang out time. Eddie wasn't sure why at first, clearly Steve's house was nicer and had everything but Steve seemed to legitimately enjoy spending time in his little trailer home. He eventually just accepted it.

It took months for him to realize every time he went over to Steve's, there was no one else home.

Until one day, there was.

It was a few months into he and Steve having gotten their shit together and starting to date (thank you nosy kids). They were cuddled up on the sofa alternating between actually watching the movie they had on and trading long gentle kisses when the front door opened.

There was no way they were going to be able to move far enough away from each other fast enough.

Steve's entire body went rigged and his eyes flattened the way they did when he was about to fight something he knew he had little to no chance of winning against. Eddie hated that look. He'd only seen it twice and he hated it.

Steve didn’t try to move, he just squeezed Eddie's shoulder and took a deep breath. Eddie wanted to squeeze him back but Steve's Dad was rounding the corner.

There were three seconds of peace as he processed what he was seeing before all hell broke loose.

Eddie was no stranger to homophobic slurs, but the things that came out of Mr. Harrington's mouth were far worse than what he'd grown used to. Most of them were personal digs at Steve, about how much of a failure he was and how he couldn't do even the smallest thing right, how he'd be disgracing their family and failing to carry on their name.

To Eddie's surprise, Steve mostly just took the verbal assault like he was used to it. And that made Eddie see red.

He moved like he was going to stand up and that drew Mr. Harrington's attention his way. The barbs turned to a rant about how beneath them he was and how little respect Steve was showing himself by being with him. All things Eddie had heard about himself before.

But that was when Steve lost his calm.

He'd been silent and motionless up until that point, but within seconds was on his feet, in front of Eddie, as defensive as he'd ever seen him. This was the Steve that carried a nailbat as if it were an extension of himself. The Steve that had bitten the head off a demobat for lack of that weapon.

His voice was calm and it was level but there was fire behind it. A fire Mr. Harrington had clearly never encountered before. As sad as he was to see this happening, Eddie was also incredibly proud of Steve.

The older man faltered for a second before changing tactics.

He threw a punch that hit Steve square in the nose.

Eddie was on his feet by now, and caught Steve when he staggered backward. But Steve had also spent several years building up a frankly alarming tolerance for head injuries.

He checked his nose for blood, and at finding none, told his father point blank that he'd been hit harder by Nancy Wheeler.

It wasn't the time to laugh so Eddie didn't but he wanted to kiss Steve so badly it was a little painful.

Mr. Harrington demanded they leave his home and Steve to Eddie's surprise refused. He'd expected they'd go back to his trailer, and maybe hunker down there for a few days until Mr. Harrington inevitably left again.

But Steve was standing his ground.

His Father seemed equally shocked but recovered enough to threaten to call the cops. Steve replied with "And tell them what? So far you've assaulted me, and you've been guilty of criminal child neglect for literally years. If you call them, Hopper will be hauling your ass to jail, not either of us."

His Father was so flabbergasted he flapped his mouth open a few times before he glanced over at Eddie and decided he was his in. He popped off about having him arrested for trespassing.

Steve laughed.

He proceeded to explain to his Father that he and Eddie have been spending time together for months and that literally everyone but him already knows that. The cops would laugh in his face the same way Steve had.

His Father was now red in the face and shaking with rage. Steve had never looked more angry, but he was smiling and Eddie for the first time spoke up.

He said the obvious. That Mr. Harrington could just go back to wherever the fuck it was he'd rather be than home.

The man looked at him with such venom it would have cowed someone who hadn’t built their identity around pissing off authority figures. Eddie linked his pinkie with Steve's.

Without another word, Mr. Harrington did just that, slamming the door so hard something fell off the wall and shattered across the floor. Steve flinched at the sound.

They waited until they heard tires peeling out of the driveway before either of them relaxed.

The first thing Eddie did was make sure Steve was alright, both physically and emotionally. Steve assured him that this was nowhere near the worst knocking his head had taken, and that emotionally he actually kind of felt better if anything.

He'd never stood up to his Father before. Never even thought to dream that he could. But after everything else he'd done in his life that he'd never thought he could do, it just felt natural. He wouldn’t let anyone hurt Eddie, after all. Not even the Father he'd been terrified of his entire life.

Eddie had kissed him breathless after that, just to make sure the good mood stuck.

#steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #stranger things #this ended up much longer than intended #am i projecting? #yes #should Steve get to fight his abusive Dad the same way he's fought everything else? #also yes #I just like the idea of Steve having changed so much that something that would have given him a heartattack before #is now much easier because hes had worse hes survived far worse #and he learned how strong he can truly be from all of it #also Steve would fight God himself to defend someone he loves #Eddie not fully making the connection of how metal his boyfriend ACTUALLY is under the preppy exterior #until he sees him go into battle mode with an authority figure #over him no less #he would have helped but Steve had it

Dreamling fic idea?

Okay, so I’ve been reading pretty much all the Dreamling fics I can get my hands on, and lot of them have this bit where they have Hob scared that he spooked off Dream again, by asking too much or too soon.

I love it! But it gave me an idea. To have more angst (I need the angst!). So what if Dream actually gets spooked again? 

It could have Dream and Hob already be together, or still friends while figuring it out. But Hob does something or says something (like in 1889), that while completely valid, still makes Dream storm off. And days pass, weeks, months, but still no Dream.

And there’s this complete absence of his Stranger -Dream- in Hob’s life. Even his dreams seem more bland, run of the mill. Like before Dream may have been making them slightly better, or nightmares somewhat easier to deal with. Because that’s what you do for the guy you’ve been meeting with for over 500 years, but are totally not friends with.

And at the beginning Hob might think he’ll come back, or try to reach him through his dreams, but he’s having no luck, as the weeks, months (years?), pass and there’s not a whisper of Dream. It’s like he never existed, like Hob never met Dream and changed his life forever and been an anchor throughout the long centuries.

And here’s the angst. Maybe something else happens to make it worse, but I want Hob to be kinda done with it all. He spent his time really living and now it’s almost like he lost his love for live. I want Hob to have Doubt.

Not that he wants to die immediately, or is even sure about anything. But just maybe have this niggling thought of giving up his immortality, live out the rest of his live and enjoy it that way because Dream made it clear he’s done with Hob and not coming back. 

Maybe Death senses it, maybe Hob is actually in very occasional contact with and sort of skirts around the subject to find out a bit more. Death obviously tells Dream, along with what a self sacrificing idiot he’s being and he’d better fix it now.

Cue Dream reappearing in Hob’s life to explain how he was an idiot and he wanted to save Hob from the pain of loving/being loved by an Endless, even though he’s immortal. I want him begging Hob to not give up his immortality, even if he decides he doesn’t want to be with Dream (anymore).

#this turned out to be a lot longer than I thought it would be #it was just this short thought #that I wanted someone to properly write a fic of #PLS feel free to still make this a 100k fic xD #I know it's out of character for Hob #if he survived the 1600's and still wanted to live I doubt anything can bring him down #but it's for the angst! #I just wanted a fic where Dream runs off again #and though unintentional completely breaks Hob's heart #the sandman #Dreamling

I see so many talk about RTD1 as if it looked like Season 1 for the entire duration, but it just didn't. There was a lot of trial and error in that early seasons as they figured out how to make the show and refined things as they went. In fact, they were sometimes refining so quickly that the end of Doomsday doesn't even match the start of The Runaway Bride.

#doctor who #dw #rtd1 #you can tell by season 3 that the bbc was really fully invested in that show #it starts to look a lot more polished #and then they go the hd cameras for the specials #if rtd had done the 5th season it still would've look a lot better than his first four #despite what many think he did not set out to make the show look bad #he wanted to look like a well made modern action/sci-fi drama #and end all the jokes about dw just being about wobbly sets #he wanted people to take the show seriously #and he succeeded #it is just that we're now looking back at it from 18 years later #which is a longer gap than between survival and rose #in fact you do see this same kind of evolution in classic who #the way the hartnell stories were shot was completely different from how the troughton stories were #while the shows budget has never been huge #it has always changed and adapted with the times

Did you you decide to do that story where Roger….husband,father and Adulterer teaches Corey how to swim

ahh i can't lie i have been thinking about this story, thank you for asking and giving me an excuse to talk about it more !! also, i love that description of roger lol

this story only really exists in my head at the minute, but hopefully i'll put it together in a better way than i'm about to, so that it can exist as a bonus chapter for the main story. basically, besides it being about learning how to swim, it's also about corey and roger hugely blurring the line between flirtation and fatherly support.

to set the scene: they do make it to the pool -- one of those big blue hotel pools with glass windows looking out at the city and a sauna off to the side -- after their post-breakfast activities. corey stays firmly at the edge in the shallow end, watching roger swim laps.

corey tries to insist he's okay where he is, but roger keeps playfully trying to lure him further into the pool and swim laps with him ("work up that appetite of yours") and corey kind of has no choice but to admit he doesn't know how to swim.

honestly, swimming really hasn't come up that often in corey's life, so he is just a little embarrassed at having to admit this for basically the first time to someone (even though plenty of people can't swim).

this admission takes roger by surprise to be honest, he really just assumed it was a given that corey -- an adult -- would be able to swim. but he reigns his reaction in, tries not to let corey see his surprise, because he knows it would only embarrass him further. "hey, that's okay. how about i teach you, hm?"

roger taught jeremy to swim when he was 4 or 5, not that long ago really, and the similarity in the situation is absolutely not lost on him.

they start with the total basics, letting corey get used to just floating in the pool, first on his back and then with his face in the water. before they get to more effective swim strokes, roger stands a few feet away and lets corey doggy paddle his way over to him. corey, pink-cheeked with embarrassment or exertion, complains "i can see you moving", because roger isn't being half as sneaky as he thinks he is about taking a few steps back as corey gets closer.

when they move onto "real" swimming, corey almost shivers when roger puts his hand on his stomach to keep corey up so he can kick his legs. neither of them mention it when roger's thumb just barely slipping beneath corey's waist band. neither of them say anything when roger's fingers glide down the back of corey's thigh when he tells him to keep his legs straight.

maybe roger shouldn't feel as proud as he does when corey swims his first clumsy length of the pool, but he does. he taught corey that, he literally and figuratively held corey's hand, he gave corey this milestone.

corey keeps close to the edge the whole way, but they do end up in the deep end and roger absolutely shouldn't like it so much when corey clings to him instead of the pool-edge when he realises he can't reach the bottom to stand up.

their kiss tastes like chlorine.

#ask #corey cunningham x roger allen #cunningallen #oops this got way longer than i intended but this idea has been in my head this whole time so 🤷‍♀️ #the whole situation just confuses corey even more #daddy issues up to his eyeballs #something something is he realising he kind of just wanted roger to be his dad?? #he is attracted to roger (for a whole bunch of psychosexual reasons that we wont go into right now) -- #-- but he didnt know how good and validating it would feel to have this sort of father/son moment -- #-- basically corey just desperately wants to feel loved in any way roger will give it to him #corey is by no means a *good* swimmer after this lesson. but he *can* swim a whole length of the pool at least #the way swimming is not taught as a life/survival skill to everyone is wild to me (me being someone who also is not a confident swimmer)
