I Still Love Him • Kai Anderson
"And I remember when I met him
It was so clear that he was the only one for me
We both knew it, right away"- "I Still Love Him" monologue by Lana Del Rey.
Kai Anderson x Female Singer!Reader
Warnings: Drugs mentioned, obssesion,emotional attachment.
Words count: 911
It's just a little part of what i have in mind, if you guys like i can continue.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
Since I remember I have this intense desire of being loved, since I was a little girl I was always searching for love in different persons and places, for the longest time I didn't know why, I just never was a sociable kid, I was so afraid of embarrassing myself and that if I did anything wrong or something that they don't like I would end it alone and without anyone by my side, everyone always liked to remind me of how quiet and shy I was, some people even reprimanded me giving long speeches of how this would difficult my life in the future. Some of them even mistook my shyness and quietness for ingenuity and innocence, that was an obstacle in my life for a long time, I wanted to be someone who they wanted to close, I wanted them to see how capable I was of succeeding in what I want, I wanted to be desired and loved by everyone.
In my teenage years I started to search for love and desire everywhere and in everyone that where close to me, but never in my family, I loved them, still love them, but I was so afraid of disappointing them and for some reason I was so scared of showing them my feelings that I started to search for this love and desire outside my house. Frequently i was out in exotics places, with some sick and twisted people, but at the time there was the place where i feel completed, in parties and gatherings in weird locations, like abandoned buildings or in the middle of nowhere like in the side or road and inside forests. In these places I felt most desired than loved, i liked how i could do anything without feeling judged, i liked how i felt desired for some of them even though if was only a quick hookup inside of one of the cars or inside abandoned rooms, and most of all i liked how things that their sell and distributed make me feel a happy and energetic for a period of time, right there i found a loyal group of something i could finally call friends, and one of them took me to him.
Kai Anderson.
The way he makes me feel was just like the drinks and drugs on these parties, or even better. He was the love and desire that i was searching in my whole life. The way that he looked at me when we first saw each other, and the way he talked to me that day made me desire him, desire his touch and his love, i wanted him, i loved him and nothing or anyone was going to take me from him.

The Yavesh Core is
basically a reflection of antediluvian times or Sodom and Gomorrah except there are perhaps a few more rules and order.... but the rules have nothing to do with morality, just efficiency for a nefarious purpose.
Of course, there is still good here, because of the victims, who manage to keep some love alive.

A podcast with a blind protagonist with an elder god explaining the horros is a genius idea. We are like the deactivate because we don’t have eyes to see so we are getting the same explanation and “seeing” the same things he is so we both have to imagine the horrors .I love it so much.

I love these ideas so much but imagine the proxies with the Operators daughter🤔
I saw this a couple of years ago in a fan fic but it was really bad and had the stereotypical proxies
But like the proxies with “human” reader who unknowingly is the Operators daughter
And the only reason that she doesn’t know is because her mom is human and she looks like her mom but she still is immortal like her dad?
Creepypasta Proxies x Slenderman's Daughter!Reader
The Slenderman's origins are vague and unknown in terms of his past,so this gives me plenty of freedom to play with the idea
I imagine that a long time ago,he was a simple married man looking for a just-as-simple life.One day,the war made them run away,separating him from his pregnant wife in the process.
The soldiers found him shielding children from the horros of war,and killed them all on the spot-making him tied to their souls and to the forest as well.
His rage made him erase most of his memories except the ties of his existence.That's how his powers were based on his past,erasing memories,provoking headaches and nosebleeds as the ones he experienced during the war,and having a problem with the technology he didn't get to live to see developing.
Several years later,the pregnant woman was found dead but with a miracle inside of her-a living baby soon to be burned by The Church.The crime was stopped by a family who took in the living baby.
Since Slenderman doesn't remember his past,he can feel a deep connection to you,that's why he ordered his proxies to watch you for a while
All of them are left confused,but obeyed.They all tough that he either wanted to recruit you or to keep you for "personal reasons"
"Did the old man got the jollies for a younger woman?" Masky joked,giving a friendly hit to his friend's elbow."I wouldn't say so."
"Well,so?" he asked.
"I don't know,but it's not that." he ended the conversation,fully believing that Masky wouldn't get his point of view anyways.
Your arrival in the mansion made the residents super aware and weary of you,since you gave off the same aura as your father(but with a feminine touch,I imagine more mystery rather than eeriness)
Masky's typical fucker behaviour would mellow down SIGNIFICANTLY
Sure,he can still be a dick but in a more "I don't fuck with boss's daughter" type.Everytime he would get angry with you he would simply bite his lip,clench his jaw,and hold back
I imagine the reader being confused and slightly scared,unaware of her importance in the mansion,at the same time I can see her having an angry breakdown as to why these murderers keep her here
Hoodie would try to keep you calm,but at the same time he would expose you to the reality of the mansion.He wouldn't hide bloody stains nor the scars around his body
Your aura never affected him but rather kept him interested,completely absorbed in your mystery but at the same keeping a safe distance from you
Toby would be the one to probably tell you why you're here💀I can see him trying to form a bond with you much like he would do with the maid reader in the other au,such as wanting to become your safe resort
Would they talk about you behind your back?Fuck yeah,after all,you're the only "human" that is connected to their boss more than the other creeps are
The romance would be angsty if you would engage in it,after all you're eternal while the others are very much ephemeral

I’m re-listening to ballad of songbirds and snakes at night just for some noise and because I’m still kind of obsessed with it. I know that almost everything in that book is about literary symmetry etc etc but it’s so fucking funny to think of Snow’s whole thought process during the THG series after reading BoSaS. Like imagine you once lived in district 12. It was kind of awful because you’re a pompous little shit who felt an emotion you couldn’t control there. You finally get out but it haunts you a little. When you have power you can ignore some of those things and outlaw the others.
A girl, a higher class girl but still a district 12 girl, wears the pin of the creature you hated the most from district 12. The bastard hybrids of capital innovation and the nature around district 12. She makes it far in her game, farther than anyone thought she would because of an alliance before she’s taken out by pure capital mutt horros. Something the game makers could have released on her, and only her, the second she was alone. Did the pin make you angry enough? The reminder of your district love affair make you lose it just a little? Enough to encourage a game maker to release the new creatures and rid you of the reminder? At least you’re rid of it.
Then it turns up again like a bad penny, or the memory you’re trying to forget, on a girl who half lives in the meadow your sweetheart went to when she wanted to write songs and think. She fishes in the lake where you tossed the guns that were the only evidence of your second kill. The guns that were scary enough, riddled with the evidence you shot them, they almost made you turn to the wilderness for good - digging through the ponds for tubers to survive. The same tubers she’s named after and the same ones your sweetheart held up for you as an example of nature’s bounty.
She ends up breaking the games with poison, a declaration of love, and a song the same tools you broke the game with. But you were too successful making the games watchable so there’s no erasing them like a bad memory, like your game was. She sings a song to a dying little girl wreathed in flowers for all the districts to see. A song you know because you heard your sweetheart sing it to a sleepy little girl wreathed in the flowers of the meadow. She sings a song that your sweetheart wrote. The one that made your blood boil because it was about him. The proof that you couldn’t own her past so you took her present. The reminder of the man swinging and the mockingjays repeating while you tried to shut out all the sounds. Is that where you came up with the idea for the mockingjays in the arena? Shrieking in loved one’s voices. Or was it hearing them repeat that song so loudly you could hear her ghost in the woods where you shot her?
She becomes your foil. Her burning passion to your cold calculations. Her singing voice echoing in the trees and then in the birds as she asks someone, she doesn’t know who, if they’ll meet her at the hanging tree. You know who though don’t you? You still remember even if you’ve tried to bury it. You remember a voice ringing through the hob like it was her home. And your spies tell you this new girl walks through the stalls of the same hob where people love and respect her - like they loved and respected Lucy. Is that echo enough to make the hob burn? Not enough to make a full show of it, but enough to make it a message. Is it a message for her or a message to yourself? To the past nobody but you remembers?
It’s almost enough to make you think Lucy Gray’s song got it wrong and her ghost did leave footprints in The Snow isn’t it?

hihi!! i hope both of ur guys day is going good! This is my first time requesting so im a little nervous i read ur rules over like ten times (⁠;⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠) can u pls do Kou, Nene, and Hanako reading their s/o a bedtime story >w< ty in advance :3
A/N: Omg hihi its been awhile since we last posted but we're here and alive still~!! Oh and also If it makes you feel any better, this is actually our first ask 😭??? So we're really excited and decided to have both of us write for it, aren't you a lucky anon?! Anyways I hope you like it! ⎯ Mod ☠️ Omg...a request...Hello! ^^ We added Mitsuba to the list, I felt like a silly fella while writing for him. His brain makes me insane. ANYWAY, I actually didn't write angst. I can't remember the last time I did that. Enjoy~ ⎯ Mod👻 (if tumblr eats this again, I will cry)
Content: Fluff, slight angst if you squint in Hanako and Mitsuba's part, no gender mention for reader aside from the word 'prince' and 'princess' being used. Summary: Reading their s/o a bedtime story
Characters: Nene, Hanako, Mitsuba, Kou
Tumblr media
A story about a girl who gets saved by her prince, not in an ideal way like she wanted it to be, but nonetheless, still fell for them anyways. ⎯ Once upon a time I had my eyes set out for a fairytale of my own, wanting to feel like a hopeless romantic with the person of my dreams. But to think that the person I've been dreaming of was actually beside me this whole time... Perhaps instead of me, it was them that was hopeless in the end.
It was during when you stayed over at her house and weren't able to sleep, that she suggested she'd tell you some of the latest stories she's been reading about. Some that you've already heard of (either from her already mentioning it before or seeing it in the media) while others not so much.
When NENE talks about her stories she's very enthusiastic about it. Happy to even have someone listening to her rant on and on about something she's been dying to talk about for awhile, but it's even more special when it's her S/O ⎯ especially if they were the ones to ask her first before she even got the chance to herself.
Her stories lean more towards romance for obvious reasons. Loving the tropes to the story is one thing, but another would be because of how she likes to imagine herself in those sort of scenarios. Embarrassed to even admit it out loud, though it's already clear why she likes them so much.
And although at first she was telling the stories to you to get you to fall asleep, it sometimes ends with you staying up a little later due to her getting a tad bit carried away.
Oh but if you do end up falling asleep right before her? You won't ever see or hear about it, unless you were pretending to be asleep, but Nene is definitely the type to give you a shy goodnights kiss. Feeling brave only because you were asleep, but if not, she'd totally cover her face as she fumes at how embarrassing it is to get caught in her sly act.
Tumblr media
A story about a commoner boy who had a princess that loved him dearly, despite his backstory and everything he deemed as 'unworthy' of their love, nothing ⎯ not even his words, could sway their view of him. ⎯ Time and time again you run and hide from me. Behind that wall of doubt and insecurities there's something that you clearly don't see in yourself that I adore so much. When will you finally come to terms and see things my way? Love yourself as much as I love you.
It's weird how you decided to nap in the bathroom. Especially his bathroom where he's poking you constantly until you tell him off.
When HANAKO is reading you a story, he has you sleeping and leaning against his shoulder. His hand occasionally shifting your head back in place when he notices you nodding off or about to fall, or maybe even just doing it to use it as an excuse to pat your head ⎯ who knows? Clearly not you.
But the types of stories Hanako tends to read to you depends entirely on his mood. Whenever he's feeling like a jokester, he'd tell you horror stories just to see your scared reaction as you cling onto him ⎯ or when he's feeling a little solemn, he'd tell the sort of fairytale that ends with bad endings to them.
Differing between those two genres the most. But on the more rarer occasions, does he switch it up to something else.
Something odd, something you wouldn't even expect from him. Something ... that perhaps convey how he really feels but is too afraid to admit it out loud? It honestly depends up to you to actually catch onto it. If not? Then you probably won't ever hear that story again from him.
Tumblr media
A story where a ghost finds a human and wishes to stand by their side ⎯ A story where death will not part them, for they belong together. ⎯ I keep thinking that I could be good enough for you - that you could love me as more than 'friends', maybe I am a bit selfish for thinking this. Not that I could ever say it to your face.
Someone decided to be nice today and bless you with a sleepover!! At your own house of course.
MITSUBA didn't plan on reading to you but you told him a few stories of your own. He wasn't sure why he did it. Perhaps it was the smile on your face every time you started reading to him, so he returned the favor.
He wasn't sure what to read until he came up with his own idea. A short story about a ghost, since he knew that firsthand. A story with a ghost about falling in love with a human, a story he...
As he told the story, he could see your smile slowly disappear, almost as if you realized he was the ghost in the story.
"The ghost never told them how he felt."
And that was the last thing he said before being engulfed in your arms. He knew this feeling - he's felt it before. That warm feeling.
The feeling of love.
The feeling of an old memory.
Tumblr media
A story where the knight doesn't get the girl ⎯ oh...I guess this is a different ending. A story where the knight gets the prince, and they live a happy life. ⎯ I didn't change the ending! This is how it was meant to be! I...I suppose if you prefer for the knight to not fall for the prince then...Huh? You liked it?!
KOU brought a book of short stories over to your house. He was super excited to be able to stay the night.
Unfortunately for him, you had the same book and it just so happened to be your favorite!
Kou told the story as it was written for a bit.
Until he got to the end.
The story was meant to end with the prince marrying a princess but Kou couldn't bring himself to say it. Perhaps it was because he was never the prince. He was always second.
But it seemed that you didn't mind. It does get a bit boring reading the same story over and over again, and you did like listening to Kou talk.
"I'm...really happy you liked it." He says, almost struggling to get the words out as you blush and smile.
Maybe this really was his story, and that's why he rewrote the ending. Well, you can't say it's impossible for that ending to happen.

Any time I think of Zarc in any kind of post-canon I imagine him as like, a kinda lethargic guy who is most definitely depressed from all the Horros. A bit snarky in a flat way but not mean, absolutely a weirdo, spouts odd wisdom and references other people's duel monsters like he's personally conversed with them off-handedly. Talks a bit haughtily without meaning to. He can recall the exact sound a human limb makes when crushed but the sound of a egg timer makes him jump.

Warnings: afab reader, cheating, reader blushes and has personality, Osamu lovers dni you won’t like this. 
Osamu has always been the most attentive boyfriend, in every way imaginable. You’ve never wanted for anything. Things changed after a few years into the relationship, but he still made you feel special when he could. However, that doesn’t mean your eyes haven’t wandered, your thoughts haven’t drifted and your dreams haven’t changed up on you in confusing ways. 
The first time you felt guilty was a dream. The pretty warm grey you’ve always loved was replaced with that annoying blonde shad
You didn’t say anything, you just went about your day the next morning, waking up next to Osamu and making breakfast with him. Well, if you can say you helped. You toasted the toast in the toaster. 
The second time you began to feel guilty was when Atsumu drove you home from Osamu’s restaurant, Osamu having to stay late for a catering order he had in the morning. Atsumu’s eyes lingered on you too long, you thought. Perhaps they had, and you weren’t making it up. Either way, you took a shower the second you walked through your apartment door. 
Then the feeling went away for a while. You continued your normal routine with Osamu, forgetting all about his brother. That was until the season ended and Atsumu started hanging around the onigiri shop more. His flirting had always been something that he’d done with you, ever since he met you. 
However, something felt different this last time he visited. 
His eyes were darting from your thighs to your eyes when you spoke. When you turned around to go get an order or serve a customer, you felt his eyes burning into your skin. When you’d turn around, they’d go back to the TV behind the bar or to whoever he was sitting beside. 
Your next shift, you wore pants instead of the usual black skirt Osamu loves so well. He didn’t mention it though, which surprised you given the day was supposed to be sweltering. Atsumu didn’t show up that day of course, so you suffered through the heat for no reason in your black jeans. 
The next night was the third time you felt guilty. Atsumu had taken you home again, and you’d made the mistake of mentioning how he’d been looking at you. 
“What about it?” He’d asked, a little too eagerly. 
“Oh,” your blush couldn’t be hidden. 
That’s when his hand went to your thigh. You slapped it away, but the feeling of it lingered on your skin for days to come. Osamu is busiest in the summer, given tourists come by to try everything he has to offer and gawk at his star of a brother. 
The fourth time, it was unconscious. You’d spent so many nights alone in a row, you had needs. As you pleasured yourself, somehow Atsumu’s face popped up as you came instead of your boyfriend’s shocking you but igniting something you couldn’t get out of your system. 
You started wearing your skirt again, liking the attention Atsumu gave you. The quiet whispers of praises he’d give you as you walked by fueled you. Osamu seemed to not notice much. Well, he seemed to not notice a lot in the last few weeks. 
He didn’t notice when Atsumu would grab your ass under your skirt. He didn’t notice when you came home with the corner of your lipstick smeared after a night “with your girls” one weekend. He didn’t seem to notice anything. 
Guilt had left you at this point, almost as if Osamu had given up on you and wanted you to do this. 
How far could this go?
Atsumu wanted to find out. You couldn’t help but want to, too. 
That’s how you’d ended up in the broom closet in the onigiri restaurant, hot and sweaty from the summer heat and Atsumu fucking into you relentlessly. You bit your lip so hard to be quiet that it drew blood, something you never experienced before. His fingers soon helped keep you quiet, sucking them into your mouth and coating them in your saliva. 
Perhaps you weren’t as quiet as you thought, since now instead of looking into Atsumu’s eyes as he made you cum you were looking past him and at the horror on your boyfriend's face as he opened the closet door, holding a broom and dropping it. 
Guilt only resurfaced for a single thought… why hadn’t Atsumu locked the closet door?

A3! Promotion Event Translation - Haunted Western-style House (2/9)
Tumblr media
*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi
---
TV: “Here’s today’s huge special on this Autumn’s recommended date spots!”
Masumi: …
Tumblr media
Tsumugi: Masumi-kun’s eyes are glued to the screen.
Tsuzuru: He didn’t seem interested at all until the segment just now.
Tumblr media
TV: “Share some new chestnut sweets and get close quickly!”
Juza: Those desserts look tasty. I wanna try ‘em…
Kumon: Let’s write down the location and go buy some next time!
Tumblr media
Kazunari: Ah. Massu, just the guy I'm looking for!
Masumi: …What?
Kazunari: So like, remember the western-style house we were talking about the other day?
Masumi: Yeah, I remember.
Tsuzuru: A western-style house?
Tsumugi: It’s a bit far from here, but there’s an old western-style house in Veludo City and it’s been undergoing renovation work for a little while.
Tsuzuru: I see. There was that kind of building, huh? Did you know about it, Juza?
Juza: No, I had no clue.
Kumon: Ah, I think I heard about that at school! I swear my friends mentioned it was a date spot or something…
Kazunari: Yep, that’s the one! I actually found out what they’re turning it into! I promised I’d let you know once I got the deets, so I wanted to tell you first…
Tumblr media
Masumi: Tell me right now.
Tumblr media
Kazunari: Woah. A little close, buddy! Calm down, I'll spill! So you see, they’re going to re-open that western-style house… As a horror house!
Juza: A horror house?
Kazunari: Well, I guess it’s like a western-style haunted house. Lookie here at the home page!
Kumon: You’re right! That’s awesome!
Kazunari: They have an inste account already. They’ve only uploaded pics of the exterior so far though.
Tsuzuru: It looks like a normal western-style mansion right now.
Tsumugi: A horror house made using a western-style house will be quite authentic.
Masumi: A horror house… It’s different from the date spot I was imagining…
Tsuzuru: Hey, there’s no reason to get depressed. Haunted houses have always been a classic date spot.
Tsumugi: That’s right. Plus it’s a western-style building. I think the atmosphere will be better than a Japanese-style haunted house.
Kazunari: Totally! They’re renovating it, so I’m sure they’re gonna make it all nice and pretty~!
Kumon: I’ve seen a story about a date at a horror house in a manga I borrowed from Muku! The girl got scared and hugged the boy who lead her coolly!
Juza: Really? Then I guess it counts as a legit date spot.
Masumi: A horror house is a date spot…
*door opens*
Izumi: I’m home.
Masumi: !
Tsumugi: Welcome home.
Kazunari: Director-chan, did you go to a meeting today?
Izumi: I did. It was a meeting for the next “VELUDO”.
Tsuzuru: What kind of special feature is coming up?
Izumi: Fufu, you see… it looks like it’s going to be a special feature on the new horror house that’s going to open in Veludo City!
All members: HUH!?
Tumblr media
Kumon: Talk about timing!
Juza: Yeah.
Masumi: A horror house special feature…
-pause-
Masumi: …
Tumblr media
Tsumugi: Oh, Masumi-kun?
Masumi: …Tsumugi.
Tumblr media
Tsumugi: What a coincidence. Are you on your way home from university?
Masumi: I am. Are you shopping?
Tsumugi: Yes. I bought new seeds and tools to tend to the flower beds at the flower shop. Director also asked me to buy some ingredients she needed, so I went to the supermarket.
Masumi: She asked you? I wish she asked me too… *Sigh*. If that’s the case, I shouldn’t have talked to Madoka and just went home straight away…
Tsumugi: Ah, you were talking to Madoka at school? You two get along well.
Masumi: Not really. We just happened to bump into each other.
Student A:  Let’s go to the horror house once it opens!
Student B: Eh~? But the rumours say it’s super scary.
Tsumugi: I wonder if those students are talking about that western-style mansion…
Masumi: …I think they are.
Tumblr media
Student C: I’m not good with scary stuff…
Student D: Kaname-chan’s so cute… You can go with me then. Horror stuff is no sweat to me. I’ll protect you.
Kaname: T-thanks, Minato-kun…
Tsumugi: The western-style horror house has become quite a hot topic among the students, hasn't it?
Masumi: I didn’t know it became this popular.
Tsumugi: I wonder if it’s trending on social media.
Masumi: It might be. (I guess a horror house might be a date spot after all…)

It kinda messed up but imagine the hidden in the dark reader with see the last powers having ww2 flashback right next to magneto
Oh, f*ck... THAT would likely be a mess. A really big, loudly crying, mess. Again, that power hasn't been made canon (I'm figuring it out), but yeah, they and Magneto get to talk about it, comfort each other, and cry a bit. Reader after that point probably IS mentally screwed. They saw the horros of the Ice Age, the bubonic plague, the hroros of humanity, and now World War 2... At this point, they'll be lucky if they have even an hour or two without nightmares, or one minute of peaceful thought after seeing all of that...

Sigh... Next, the big one. Freddie and Guillermo’s relationship.
Now... I will preface this by saying I am (still) a huge nandermo shipper and while I feel I have tried to be painstakingly fair to Freddie leading up to his introduction, that’ll still affect my analysis here. I wanna be upfront about my biases. lmao
But... god, yeah, Freddie/Guillermo was a fucking disaster. I think we can all agree on that, even if we disagree on what was its downfall. Personally, though, I think it was always doomed to fail. Freddie was utterly faithless with very little magical intervention, but like... more than that, the intimacy just wasn’t there, and I think the fault of that can really be shared around.
I’ll start with Guillermo. I’ve talked about this before and I’ll just keep talking about it and talking about it and probably writing like 30k words of fic about it but like. God, Guillermo is such a liar. It’s always been a part of his character and the show is really starting to engage with the way that it’s harmed his relationships with everyone around him. He lies to the vampires, he lies to his friends, he lies to his family, he lies to his boyfriend. He lies for self-preservation and he lies for personal gain and, this one’s the kicker, he lies to avoid difficult conversations.
It’s hard to fault Guillermo for most of his lies. Like if he’d told the vampires that he was a slayer before he proved his loyalty, they might have killed him. If he’d told his family about the vampires, they might have killed his friends and disowned him. Coming out to your family is always hard. Freddie would uhhhh probably not have accepted it if he’d found out that his new boyfriend was a literal serial killer. 
But at the same time, those lies all create a chilling effect on his relationships. No one can truly know and love him because he won’t let them. He won’t let anyone see the real him or help him with any of his crises because he doesn’t trust anyone to accept or support him. And sometimes he’s right! But other times, like when he finally told Nandor about being a slayer and told his family about being gay, he found out that they were far more accepting and supportive than he ever could have imagined. He just... didn’t allow himself to believe that he could depend on them. Which is a little hurtful, if understandable.
You really see this lack of trust extend to his relationship with Freddie. As much as I dislike Freddie, I have to admit that Guillermo never put his true self into this relationship. Him lying to Freddie about his job had such long-ranging effects. It means he never talked to Freddie about what was actually going on in his day-to-day life. It means he never talked to Freddie about any of the people who were important to him. It means he never talked to Freddie about any of his real hopes or dreams or struggles. It means he was never fully open with Freddie about the true nature of his loneliness and sense of betrayal in London.
He never told Freddie about anything important. So how could Freddie ever get to know the real him? He never met the real Guillermo! He met this facsimile that Guillermo created in order to feel normal and playact at being normal and reel in a normal guy. But none of that was real.
But Freddie, on the other hand, let him. I don’t get the impression that Freddie ever really dug that hard to learn about the real Guillermo. Almost all of their conversations were extremely surface-level (beans? okay...) and Freddie doesn’t seem to know much about Guillermo’s hobbies, interests, or preferences -- and I’m not convinced that he cares.
Freddie seems enormously comfortable with Guillermo refusing to allow him access to any of his deeper emotions. In fact, when Guillermo does start exhibiting real emotions around him for the first time (when Freddie comes to the house unannounced, when they walk in on Nandor and Freddie’s yelling at him to hurry up, when the Freddies are playing charades and both ignoring Guillermo’s obvious horror, anger, and hurt, etc.) Freddie just straight-up ignores them. He never once tries to actually comfort Guillermo throughout this entire episode despite him sorely needing it. He doesn’t even bother breaking up with him before he starts dating two other people. That’s a lot.
Like... I think it’s probably somewhat debatable whether Freddie 2 conceptualized fucking Nandor as cheating on Guillermo. Nandor never actually specified that he wanted a version of Freddie that didn’t know about and/or wasn’t dating Guillermo, and Freddie 2 had all of Freddie 1′s other memories, so there’s no reason to believe that Nandor was wrong when he said he could easily steal Guillermo’s boyfriend. With Freddie 2, that’s exactly what he did. Freddie 2 woke up still thinking he was dating Guillermo and immediately decided he’d rather fuck Nandor instead. Yikes! 
Whether that’s because Nandor was something new and fun and exotic (😬) and exciting or because Freddie 2 heard that he was a clone and was like “well, I guess that other guy is dating him and I can do what I want”, it’s still yikes! Either way, Freddie 2 just showed absolutely no love or loyalty towards Guillermo whatsoever. It’s not like the two Freddies were fighting over who’d get to be with Guillermo over here.
I think that raises the biggest issue. There was just very little genuine intimacy and connection between the two of them. There was barely any real physical intimacy when you compare Freddie’s interactions with Guillermo vs. Freddie’s interactions with Nandor and his own clone, the two never talked about anything particularly intimate that we ever saw, and they barely knew each other. Freddie left Guillermo so quickly that like... I honestly wonder if he ever saw the relationship as more than a casual LDR in the first place.
I really do think that they had a “whirlwind romance” in the UK because Guillermo was Freddie’s new thing but Freddie was Guillermo’s everything. He’d never had a boyfriend before and he was so, so lonely. So he really built up this relationship in his head. He really romanticized the hell out of it. He really thought it was gonna work, he really thought that Freddie loved him, he really thought that what they had was healthy and intimate and good.
But really, Freddie was just the only person who was being remotely nice to Guillermo during a period when he was intensely emotionally vulnerable, and Guillermo latched onto that. And I think that someone being as into you as Guillermo was into Freddie would be really flattering, which (a deeply narcissistic) Freddie clearly responded to. But as much as Guillermo told Freddie he loved him, we never once heard him say it back -- though we did hear him say it to his clone, and kiss him, which is a thing we never saw him do with Guillermo during his visit.
Guillermo... I love you dearly, but he’s just not that into you.
Guillermo, for all that he was all in, seemed to be fairly interchangeable to Freddie. Freddie was happy to do his list of tourist attractions with someone else that he literally just met. (And the only one that wasn’t on his list was Wicked, which implies that either the list was longer than just those four things or that was the only thing that Guillermo wanted to do, which makes it even more fucking tragic that Freddie repurposed the idea for a date with a different person.) Freddie was just as happy to spend the rest of his time in NYC with Nandor and Freddie 2. Freddie started cheating on Guillermo with Freddie 2 both emotionally and then physically about as quickly as he possibly could.
I mean... if I were talking to my partner and someone else grabbed their ipad so they could talk to me instead, I would simply say I was talking to my partner. Because I actually like talking to the people I love and would not want to hurt their feelings. Freddie was more than happy to hurt Guillermo so he could talk to his own clone instead, though, and that’s just not a great sign for a relationship!
So yeah, I think that even if Nandor had kept his dumb ass out of Guillermo’s relationship, it was just doomed to fail. I do think that Freddie had genuine affection for Guillermo, but only in the most casual of ways. I don’t think he truly loved him. I don’t think he cared if he got to spend time with him or not. I don’t think the two of them were particularly physically or emotionally intimate.
And it was because neither of them actually wanted to be. Guillermo wanted to have a boyfriend, but he wasn’t willing to submit to that whole mortifying ordeal of being known thing. And Freddie simply didn’t want to bother.
As much as I hate to say it, I think Guillermo was just a guy for him to hang out with until someone more interesting came along.
So honestly, the fact that Guillermo had built this relationship up in his head the way he did was more a tragic indictment of his total lack of experience with anyone being nice to him at all than evidence of a real relationship.
Fuck, Guillermo. Now I’m sad. You have no idea what it’s like to be truly loved or valued, and that’s mostly because Nandor refuses to show you. :(

Imagine you've moved to a new town, Beautiful Funtimesville, and it's like, insanely cool. You're getting your tour from one of the locals, and they're saying stuff like "yeah, everybody loves Beautiful Funtimesville! It's a great place to live, as long as you don't mind the horrors!" And you're like, "wait, what horro—" but then they cut you off with "And here's the pool! We have pool parties every Thursday! Don't stay out after dark!" and you're like, "oh sick, a pool, but why don't stay out—" "And here's the mini bar!" Anyway, that's what seeing some of your posts about NADDPOD feels like to me, on episode 10, just having a great time in Bahumia and catching a post like "so sad Hardwon never got to show Moonshine and Bev his home :(" and I just gotta. Turn away and forget that for my sanity's sake. (Love your content too much to censor myself, so this is all on me) (but also oh no how much is this podcast going to hurt me??)
The thing about naddpod is that it is in fact a happy fun time that also includes a good deal of the horrors.
The line “you ruined my night brian” isn’t said and repeated for nothing.
That said you’re gonna have such a great time naddpod fucking rules and the horrors aren’t that bad for the most part.
Also if you want to sensor anything I do tag all my naddpod posts by campaign (bahumia, eldermourne, ba2mia) and with “naddpod”, but the only things I spoiler tag are my new episode takes.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but sadly, I'm not vibing with s2 at all:
— I got a weird impression that Crowley had a higher ground in almost every conflict, and Aziraphale is the one, who should learn the lesson in every situation. It's maybe a personal thing, but this inequality throws me off.
— There're immo some problems with passing and mini episodes didn't do much for the main plot
— detective part of it all is super weak
— every time I felt smth interesting is about to happen we dragged some situations or actions for too long and the suspense was ruined
— the witty tone of s1 was partly lost: I found myself more often smile at the performances and actor's interpretations than at actuall words or events. dialogues are somewhat repetitive and we states different things multiple times just in different settings.
However I can find some positive points:
— all of the cast did a great job, Tennant and Sheen are still the heart of the show and their little tones and expressions bring the life on the screen. Loved the execution of the EVERY scene especially Aziraphale's little trembling hand.
— Crowley before the fall is so precious, I want to save him from the horros of the system and ineffable plans.
— Jon Hamm had a time of his life with all range of Gabriel's newfound emotional sincerity, Jim's lostness and and general silliness.
— Maggie and Nina were lovely and enduring, but I wish we spent more time with their feelings and communication.
— loved the brothel lady, she's hilarious
— ineffable bureaucracy were a fcking fever dream. their dynamic is nothing like the fandom imagined but they're just... cute? Like the chemistry is here, the common ground is here, they believably make each other more relaxed and likeable. The fly thing was unironically the most romantic thing in this season (also fly on the Beelzebub's tongue shot was sexy af).
Overall I think it just wasn't my cup of tea, or I'm way too attached to dynamics and atmosphere of an the book, which very well known for having more Pratchett's influence in it. If you read the post till this point and enjoyed the season, I'm happy for you. But really needed to get this all out of my system.
