santa baby // charles leclerc
Tumblr media
summary: it's christmas morning, his mother has the kids, and it's been too long since he and his wife got to enjoy a little bit of quality time, if you get what he's saying
pairing: charles leclerc x wife! reader
warnings: festive smut <3, a few jokes about how y/n's dad really didn't like charles in the beginning, mentions of heaven in a pretty unholy context. charles wants another child which turns into mild breeding
authors note: the christmas collection is almost complete!! this is the last christmas based story, and to close out the series I have one that takes place in new york on new years!
the monaco morning was chilly, a light dusting of snow descending on monte carlo as charles leclerc and his wife lay tangled in bed, christmas tree still twinkling and full of light in the penthouse apartment's main room. they always slept like this, with charles' body draped over hers, his arms tightly clutching her around the midsection, legs tangled together.
they'd married young, just nineteen when they eloped in italy because charles was scared that y/n's father was going to kill him. but her father was a traditional man, who thought that his daughter was destined for more than charles, who came across as a playboy f2 driver at the time.
but they had known each other for years, high school sweethearts, if you will. they got married right before charles started his first season with sauber, and the monegasque boy had promised that he would always support and look after y/n. of course, the shit hit the fan once their respective families realized that they had eloped, but it would take a blind man not to see how madly in love the two young adults had been at the time.
had been, and still were.
“mhm, charles…” she whined, feeling the tip of her husbands warm nose at the back of her neck. she lifted the ferrari drivers hand from around her waist, pressing a kiss to his knuckles. “good morning, mon amour.” she said softly, pressing back into the monegasque.
“merry christmas cherie.” charles smiled against her skin, eyes still closed as he pressed a gentle kiss to the nape of her neck.
“I wonder if jolie is awake yet. I forgot how nice it was to wake up in a quiet house.”
the couple had always kept their private life just that: private. their rings weren’t flashy, simple bands that didn’t catch too much attention. and a few months after charles had signed to ferrari, y/n had told him that she was pregnant, something they had tried to hide to the best of their ability.
he had been shocked at first, but the glow in his eyes and grin on his face hadn’t ever gone away. they’d kept the pregnancy a secret as long as possible, but sebastian vettel had eventually figured it out, the same way that the german had figured out that the young lovers were married.
jolie helene leclerc was the apple of charles’ eye. from the moment that jolie was born, the infant had charles wrapped around her pudgy little fingers.
“jolie is fine, mon tresor. she’s with my mom and arthur.”
she laughed, sitting up in bed before looking down at her husband, tapping him gently on the nose. “arthur is why I’m worried. he might be twenty one but he’s still a child. just let me call your mom.” she insisted, getting out of the king sized bed and walking across the room to get her phone, the hemline of her green silk nightdress barely covering her ass.
“babe…” charles whined. “she’s fine, come on. when was the last time that we had the apartment to ourselves?”
charles had a point. the night before, the couple had opened a bottle of red wine and binged the new season of ‘only murders in the building’ before y/n had fallen asleep in the couch, curled up against her husbands side before charles had carried her her back to the bed.
she paused, turning back to her husband. charles rarely ever wore pajamas to bed, but for the holiday season he had humoured his wife with a silk set, the top unbuttoned halfway to show off his impressive muscles, the outline of his dick visible through the silk pants.
it was a sight that used to make her mouth water. not that she didn’t find her husband attractive anymore, it was just that she had other priorities. like raising jolie.
“I suppose you’re right.” her voice was sing-songy as she leaned against the dresser, one of the nightgown straps falling down her shoulder. “what do you suggest we do about it?”
charles grinned, hair messy and cheeks flushed as he got out of bed, meeting his wife in the middle of the room as he pulled her in for a kiss, his hands warm against her skin in the chilled room.
“I can think of a few ideas, ma cherie.” he grinned, slipping his hands up the back of her nightdress. “you’re beautiful.” he hummed, pressing kisses to her neck as she flushed pink under the half light, a smile on her face as she giggled.
charles never failed to sweep her off her feet.
she laughed as charles gripped her ass for support as she jumped up, wrapping her legs around his waist before he stumbled back towards the bed. they fell to the sheets in a tangle of limbs and giggles, her husband hovering over her as he peppered her exposed skin with kisses, palming her erect nipples through the silk.
“oh, charles.” she moaned lowly as charles drew back, reaching to undo the last few buttons on his silk shirt.
y/n wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning in close and pressing a few gentle kisses to her husbands chest, his rapidly hardening cock becoming increasingly more prominent through his trousers.
she could feel his muscles tensing and undulating underneath her lips as he breathed deeply, a sensation that only added to the want pooling between her legs.
charles sucked in a breath at the feeling of his wife’s lips against his abs. he would never get tired of calling y/n his beautiful wife. he could hardly contain himself, stomach rapidly rising and falling as she continued to kiss him, her fingertips dancing across his skin as she looked up at him, a bright smile on her face and lust in her eyes.
he knew she would never suck him off. it was a sensory thing, she hated the feeling of having any dick in her mouth, not just charles’. but charles was more than okay with that, as he would much rather be on his knees for her than have her on her knees for him.
charles slipped out of the undone shirt, gently pushing her back onto the bed and climbing on top of her, connecting his lips to hers in a fiery kiss as she slipped her hand down the front of his pants, cupping his erection in her delicate hand.
"mon amour," he rasped. "don't feel like you have to. this morning is all about you."
"but what if i want to?" her words came out in a whisper, eyes like oceans staring back at charles.
"you know that i won't stop you, mon amour." his breathing was heavy as y/n used both hands to push charles onto the bed, reversing their earlier position so that she straddled the ferrari driver.
she slid the silk pants down her husband's legs just enough so that she had access to his cock, running her fingers up and down the length.
she might not give blowjobs, but in charles' eyes, his wife did something even better with her hands, lips on his neck as she stroked his length, drawing a deep moan that bordered on a growl from teh back of charles' throat.
"baby..." he whined, his wife's hand warm and comforting as she pumped his dick in her hand, leaning over his body to press feather light kisses to his skin as charles gripped her thigh. "you're too good to me."
"i mean, you were on the nice list this year." she grinned, smiling against charles' chest as she pressed a kiss to his skin, quickening the pace at which she moved her hand up and down his shaft.
"not for much longer, ma cherie. not for too much longer at all." he cursed in french, bucking his hips into her hand as his eyes rolled back. "i wont last much longer like this, darling. I need to be inside you.”
“how do you want me?” she asked innocently, withdrawing the hand she had on charles’ cock and leaning down to kiss him softly, his hands cupping her ass.
“on your stomach, cherie. let me see your curves.”
every nerve ending in her body was on high alert as she laid on the plush mattress, resting the side of her face against the pillow as she moved all of her hair to one side , tingling with the sensation of anticipation, just waiting for charles to caress every inch of her body.
she could hear her husband fumbling with his pants in the background, giggling as she felt him run his hand up her leg. he slowly pushed her nightgown up, pressing kisses to her bare ass and up her lower spine, taking the silk fabric with him as he relished in how after all these years, he could still make y/n leclerc tremble underneath his touch.
“charles, don’t tease, baby.” she murmured, giving in fully to his touch as she bucked her ass back unit her husbands body. “you gave up the right to do that when we had a child.”
charles laughed, running his fingers along her slit as he readied himself behind her. “I’m here baby, don’t move a muscle and let me show you how much I appreciate you.”
he slid in slowly, y/n moaning softly underneath him as she fisted the flannel sheets. “oh, sweet jesus.” she muttered as charles began to slowly thrust into her, his cock reaching all the places that made her shiver.
“you feel like heaven, mon amour.” charles growled. “god, I love you so fucking much.”
“oh, charles!” her moan was so high pitched that it bordered in a whimper. “faster, please, charles.”
charles grinned to himself, picking up the pace as he leaned down to pepper her spine in delicate kisses, loving the way that her back arched under his touch, the curve of her spine as she pressed her hips back, trying to take as much of his cock as she could.
it was like heaven on earth.
“my sweet girl.” the monegasque hummed, the room filled with the sounds of skin on skin, and the moans of the angel underneath him, the sight of his cock sliding in and out of his wife enough to make his eyes roll back in his skull. “oh, you take my cock so well. almost like we were made for each other.”
“you’ve been using that line for five years, amour.” she giggled, a smile on her face before her lips parted in a moan, her arm reaching back so she could clasp her husbands hand in hers.
he grinned slyly “and it still works, doesn’t it? I managed to get a baby out of you.”
“yes, yes.” she moaned, clutching Charles’ hand tightly as she buried her face in the pillow, goose-down swallowing her moans.
charles paused, pressing his chest against her back, gently kissing her cheek as she brushed a few stray strands of sweaty hair away from her face. “y/n, jolie is three years old already. I think it’s time that we maybe…had another one?”
she smiled, turning her head so she could look at her husband. “and you’re asking me now?”
charles chuckled. “can I put another baby in you, mon amour? I want a family with you, a little sibling for jolie.”
as awkward as it was given their position, y/n kissed charles softly. “put another baby in me, lover boy.”
if anything, the sex got more intense after Charles’ confession, his hips and his dick moving at a relentless pace as he slammed in and out of her. and y/n loved every second of it, fingers digging into the sheets as her moans reached a crescendo.
“should I fill you up, darling? yeah, you want me to put another baby in you?” charles grunted, feeling his climax hurtle closer as her walls began to clench around him.
“god, yes charles! give me your cum, put a baby in me!”
they let go around the same time, reducing charles to a groaning, moaning mess as he released his grip on his wife’s hips, rolling their bodies gently over onto their sides so that they were spooning, out of breath and satisfied, charles’ cock still buried inside of her.
“I meant what I said, charles.” she said softly, plying with her husbands fingers. “I want another child. three sounds like a good number, doesn’t it?”
the driver smiled, kissing her cheek. “two little girls and a boy. our own little karting team.”
“in your dreams.” y/n snorted “jolie hasn’t even looked at the go kart in the garage.”
“all in good time, mon amour. all in good time. merry christmas, y/n”
“merry christmas, charles. now, we should get in the shower and get ready otherwise we aren’t making it to your mothers for brunch.”

𝓐𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓵!𝓜𝓒𝓢𝓴𝓲𝔃𝔃𝓵𝓮���𝓪𝓷 𝔁 𝓰𝓷!𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓭𝓮𝓻
---------------------------------------
Summary: In which the reader takes a new fellow hermit on a date to celebrate his arrival to Hermitcraft
Type: Fluffy oneshot
Warnings ⚠: No warnings, just pure fluff <3
Proofread: Nope
The way I write in character ai is slowly showing in my oneshots 🧍 anyways, enjoy this cute little fic, reader!
------------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
For a good while now, you'd been a part of Hermitcraft; Being in about 5 seasons already. Ever since season 10 started, there's been two new Hermits who you were familiar about. Joel and Skizzleman, you were more close with Skizzleman though since you two have always been together since the Life Series. You were definitely ecstatic to hear that your beloved Skizz was joining, you could hardly wait!
The reunion was quite sweet, you two missed each other very dearly despite it being only two months or so. After the whole introduction thing, you two ran off to find a private area so that you could have a proper reunion (no it's not like that.). Sure, you could've done even when the Hermits were around but it would be better if you two were in private so that you could be as cheesy as you wanted to be.
Skizz had been hugging you so tightly with both his arms and his wings, you had to tell him to stop holding you so tightly otherwise you might've started suffocating.
"Sorry, I just missed ya' so much!" Skizz chuckled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head
"You were really going to miss me more if you kept on hugging me so tightly." You joked, giving Skizz a reassuring pat on the back to give off the message saying 'It's okay'. You two then shared some kisses and even more hugs (you can either think of it as something suggestive or not.), you both were practically struggling to pull yourselves away from each other.
Once you two finally had your sweet reunion, you both decided to gather some resources already. The two of you decided to have shared/connected bases so that you two wouldn't have to be far apart, you two stayed together while gathering resources for the most part. But once Skizz had to go somewhere to meet up with another Hermit, you worked fast to set up a date over by a waterfall with a beautiful scenery to celebrate Skizz's arrival to Hermitcraft. You had to use your current resources to build a nice looking picnic, you had a few furnaces around the place so that you could cook some food. Skizz wouldn't be gone for too long so you had to work quick, you were kind of stressing out already because you didn't know how early Skizz would arrive. You hoped luck was on your side right now.
By the time Skizz had already came back, you were thankfully finished setting up the whole picnic. You had gotten rid of the furnaces and different blocks around the place, all you needed to do now was to actually surprise Skizz with it. You simply went up to Skizz and told him that you had a surprise before closing his eyes with your hands, leading him right where the picnic was. Once you took your hands off of Skizz's eyes, he was absolutely in awe since he could already tell that you put a lot of effort in making the picnic seem really nice.
After admiring it for a good six seconds, he'd turn over to you before suddenly lifting you up into the air and spinning you around. You two were both laughing and giggling as he did, you holding onto Skizz so that you wouldn't fall while he did this. Soon enough, he set you back down while you were a bit dizzy from all the spinning. You held onto Skizz for support for a few seconds before shaking your head slightly, your vision going back to normal. You looked at Skizz with a smile, glad that he appreciated your hard work on this cute little picnic
"So, let's get on with this date shall we?" You held your hand out to Skizz, waiting patiently for him to take it so that you could bring him over onto the picnic blanket. He'd chuckle a bit before taking your hand
"We shall!" Skizz spoke with a slightly fancy tone, making you both giggle a bit before you lead him over to the picnic blanket that had several different types of food that you knew he enjoyed. For the whole time, you and Skizz would be catching up mostly; you both would sneak in a bit of flirting though. Skizz was also praising you for making such good food, he was in pure bliss after taking a bite of one of the foods you had made. And after that, you two would just be holding hands while still continuing to talk about stuff.
If you preferred to just listen instead of talk, Skizz would be talking quite a lot about the things he'd been upto after the whole 'Secret Life' thing. If you were the one to be rambling though, Skizz would willingly listen to you with adoration in his eyes. For the rest of day, you two just watched the sunset and stargazed for a bit before finally heading back to your guys' base and cuddled the whole night with Skizz's wings wrapped around the both of you... <3
------------------------------------------------------
Holy moly!!! You reached the end!! Wowerzs‼️
In all seriousness, hope yall enjoyed this short little skizz x reader oneshot :3
This was a bit rushed so not exactly proofread TT
See you guys in the next oneshot! Bye bye for now lovely reader! <3
(p.s, go drink some gosh dang water, eat some food and take care of yourself. Much love as always!!)

I just watched a video claiming that part of the reason that Din's "redemption" storyline in Mandalorian season 3 doesn't work is because they never told us why Din wanted to go back to the covert and so we never really understood it or were invested in that journey. And I'd actually argue that the issue with this storyline is the exact opposite.
Because we actually DO have plenty of bulid-up for why Din wants to go back to the covert, it just happens over the last two seasons of this show.
We see people literally calling him "The Mandalorian" or "Mando" as a name because he never even gives them his name and prefers to be identified by his cultural identity alone.
We got to see Din getting new armor back in season 1 and it's pretty clear just how important that is to him. We also get to see his people coming to help him in a fight in this big emotional moment where they sacrifice their own safety in order to rescue him and they spent an entire episode building up to that. We also see the moment he goes BACK only to discover that his covert was attacked and has since fled and the impact of watching the Armorer stand alone to try to protect what's left and the grief of that moment where neither Din nor the audience knows whether the Armorer even survives or if Din is now the last one left of his covert.
We see how much his cultural practices mean to him over and over again whenever the issue of taking off his helmet comes up. We see the way Din reacts to OTHER people who he thinks might be Mandalorians but don't act in the way he thinks they should and how quickly he decides that they AREN'T Mandalorians because of that, and how hard it is for him to start to accept that there might be other ways to be Mandalorian that don't look the way he's used to it looking.
We see it enough that it's massively impactful when he is forced to remove his helmet in season 2 in order to save Grogu. We see him go from just replacing his helmet with another helmet so that he can use the excuse that no one saw his face still, to removing his helmet anyway because he has to in order to get through the base, and then removing it a final time without anybody's life on the line just to say goodbye to Grogu. It's a sacrifice that DIN is making, knowing that he is potentially giving up his ability to call himself a Mandalorian and any place among his people in order to give himself and Grogu this moment.
None of this would work at all if we don't FEEL the connection that Din has to being Mandalorian, if we don't understand on a very visceral level how important it is to him. The sacrifice that Din is making over these three scenes are absolutely meaningless if we don't truly GET that Din is making a clear conscious choice to place Grogu's life as more important than his own identity as a Mandalorian and his place within his culture.
So with all of that in mind, there's no way we as the audience need to have it spelled out to us why Din wants to rejoin his people. We know why. We spent two seasons watching why. He gave it up for Grogu, but now that Grogu's life isn't in the balance, it's not exactly a shocker that Din would want to reclaim that identity once he knows it's possible. It's a show literally CALLED The Mandalorian, it's not like the audience isn't going to be invested in watching the main character go on a journey to become a Mandalorian again.
But then the show spent three episodes total on it and it's split between Din's storyline, Bo-Katan's storyline, and the New Republic storyline, so Din's redemption arc gets a fraction of the total time it should've had.
And to add insult to injury, the big climactic parts of both episodes 2 and 3 go to BO-KATAN. It's Bo-Katan who goes down to rescue Din and sees the mythosaur, and then it's Bo-Katan whose "redemption" and welcome to the covert is focused on at the end, while Din's welcome ends up more of an afterthought.
So it's not that the show forgot to get us invested by never giving us good enough reason for Din to WANT his redemption, it's that they spent TWO SEASONS telling us why this is immensely important only to never pay off on that investment in a satisfying way by spending no meaningful time on it and choosing to make it about another character's emotional arc instead.

Why Heartbreak High Season 2 Feels Different
I was ranting about this in the tags of another post lmao so I think I just wanna make my own post. I really didn’t know how I felt about season 2, especially once I got half way through, so I’m just gonna kinda organize random thoughts here.
Commentary
Lowkey everything falls under this I can’t even lie. My thing is, I can’t fully tell you what HBH2 was trying to say; it might be because it just wasn’t what I was expecting. Season one commented on race relations and sexual trauma and friendship. Season two kind of did that, but it just wasn’t as focused. I hate to say it, but too many things were going on and the cast is just decently big? Malakai’s sexual exploration felt lacklustre, Amerie x Malakai felt lacklustre, Ant x Harper felt lacklustre, Ant’s WHOLE CHARACTER feels lacklustre, Sasha’s performative activism felt lacklustre and like… a performance, Spider… I’ll get into that in a second, the whole election process kinda felt lacklustre (mostly because of the characterization involved), we lost Harper and Amerie’s friendship along the way a little bit with the way we hardly got to address the real issues within it; all the social commentary that came with all of these things fell kind of flat. I won’t say EVERYTHING was bad — because even if we kinda hit restart and redid Ca$h x Darren, I felt like that went solid enough… except for Ca$h’s sexuality conversation centralizing Darren and BACKTRACKING the conversations we’ve already had — but it definitely could’ve been better in my opinion. Just some, NOT ALL, of the commentary this season just felt shallow/ surface level. Everything didn’t make a perfect circle or tie/ work together the way they did in season one.
2. Square One
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel like a lot of the things HBH2 was trying to do was just done better in HBH1. The discussions around sexuality and masculinity and trauma and betterment were all done pretty well from what I can remember of season 1, but then we get to season two and… nothing’s really changed? I get it, they’re teenagers; but also, what am I here for if we’re just restarting and kind of doing it worse? This also ties in with the lack of focus. Season 2’s discussions felt worse because there just wasn’t enough focus, not enough time spent on each thing. Season 2 didn’t really build on season 1. I felt like it was just kinda doing its own thing besides Harper’s trauma because that carried on pretty well. Like we spend hardly ANY TIME in SLT class and that’s where all the magic happens. I kinda mentioned this above, but omg Darren x Ca$h… what happened? Their story was pretty good, but Darren ending up with the Puriteens… they’re too smart. I feel like season 2 kinda undermines the intelligence of the characters. Going from the “you’re my too much” scene to what happened in season two just felt… ????
3. Spider
First of all, it will always be SCREW SPIDER!!! SCREW YOU SPENCER!!!! I hope I don’t have to explain why. With Spider… it just TOOK TOO LONG! We knew what he was like in season one, why did we have to redo this whole thing and TIKTOKIFY IT TOO!? We didn’t need the extra thing with Missy. No offense to that storyline, but if we spent all of that time we did with Spider and Missy with Spider and his mom instead and then realizing his feelings for Missy (which imo came out of nowhere) OR he thinks back on his feelings for Amerie… it would’ve been so much better. TikTok is mentioned like twice, and yet the whole masculinity storyline is basically based off of it. Coach I Forgot His Name was just saying the same thing over and over again, it wasn’t building and the indoctrination process wasn’t that evident. I guess the superficiality could’ve been a point, but Spider is smart. Instead of the whole “just one joke ruins a life,” I wish they were daring enough to actually sprinkle some white supremacist and potentially Nazi (I don’t know the political landscape of Australia so take this with a grain of salt) ideologies in there until it became so extreme that Spider realizes what the hell is going on. Spider’s mom being a TERF is one thing (that we don’t even have time to dive into because the show gives us one damn scene), but we don’t really get to see how that settles in him. How he’ll never be able to please his mother or be who she wants him to be. Idk if I’m making sense lmao. Making Coach a joke character was also a mistake.
4. Rowan
I THOUGHT HIM AND MALAKAI WERE SO CUTE :((((((( My thing is that he was just brought in too early. He could’ve been a major season three character and season two could’ve been spent wrapping up all of season one storylines. Rowan just interrupted everything. He’s incredibly interesting, but with all the things we needed to get done/ wrap up, we didn’t even get as much time as we could’ve with him either. We don’t even get to see what his family life is like or his dynamics with his parents. Because of this, what we would expect to be commentary on mental illness just… kind of isn’t there. And it also takes away from Amerie, and the overall school community (!!!!), being held accountable for/ addressing their bully tendencies. Like as soon as we think “huh everything is fine and good and perfect” after wrapping up season one storylines, the show could’ve spun us around and made us see that there was still a ton of work to do.
That might be it. Maybe there’s some more, but I think this is generally my thoughts. HBH2 was very entertaining and fun and I’ll never get tired of Australian culture, but it still felt different.

5 Characters who should get an Invincible Special Origin Episode
Tumblr media
Invincible Season 2 has just wrapped up, and while some fans are a little disappointed with its ending, overall the general consensus has been positive. From excellent music, to phenomenal voice work and animation, along with X-Men '97 its been a great time to be a superhero fan AND an animation fan.
Tumblr media
This season also brought in a handful of new characters, as well brought some fan favorites to the forefront, including Allen the Alien, Rex Splode and Immortal.
I think I speak for everyone when I say I love being in this universe, and would love to see more. And while I know Season 3 will be here sooner than Season 2 was, I've been thinking about all those incredible characters and the Atom Eve Special.
It went a long way in showing how good the animation got, expanding on Atom Eve, and evening building up threats like The Lizard League.
Tumblr media
I think theres alot of potential in expanding some of these characters, seeing their origins and helping build up their character development.
So I'm going to go through some, along with ideas as to how the episodes can play out. Spoiler Warning for Invincible Season 1 & 2 and mild spoilers from the comics.
5. Bulletproof
Tumblr media
Starting off with one of the newest members of the Guardians of the Globe, Zandale Randolph AKA Bulletproof is definitely a character you forgot was in this season.
While he is known for a few big things in the future, he didn't really get to do much this season. He wasn't very useful in the sequid invasion, didn't really help in any major fights, nor do we know anything about him. So why him?
His history in the comics is rather tragic, and I think is something we are going to explore. His twin brother, a mad genius, attempts experimenting on Zandale in order to give himself superpowers. Instead it gives Zandale superpowers, and kills his brother.
Due to this, and unable to tell his parents, he pretends to be both brothers to preserve his brothers legacy.
That tragedy is alot, and could make for an amazing episode, with his brother being the villain and explain why he is so guarded.
Plus, I love Jay Pharoah. More Jay Pharoah please.
Tumblr media
4. Dupli-Kate
Tumblr media
We got some hints at Dupli-Kates origin in her eulogy from Immortal. Her powers come from a curse upon her family, that led to both her and her brother gaining the ability to multiply.
What you don't know is they started off as a brother sister team before going their separate ways.
We actually see Kate's brother Multi-Paul in the cell when the Maulers escape again. Seeing a young version of Multi-Paul before their inevitable confrontation in a later season could give us more stakes.
Tumblr media
Yes, this is another sibling rivalry just like Bulletproof, but this could start way more fun than Bulletproofs.
And two multipliers who are children fighting it out in a dramatic finish? Also good television.
3. Monster Girl
Tumblr media
Talk about a tragedy.
Monster Girl's curse was given to her after falling in love with a man whose grandmother disapproved of her. That grandmother was a witch, who turned her into an ogre with extraordinary power.
We don't get much else from her origin, which could give us some wiggle room.
This could start as a love story turned horror story, unable to get out of her monster form, feeling trapped in her own body. We can have the witch be an Agatha Harkness type, and a physical threat in the episode too.
Tumblr media
Once she is defeated, Amanda is able to turn back and be with the man she loves, until she realizes months later, that she is getting younger, and he breaks her heart.
The beats are all there, and I'd love to see a magic based episode in the Invincible Universe mixed in with some Hulk style action. Plus, building up Amanda will be important as she is vital in the comics.
2. Thaedus The Great Betrayer
Tumblr media
You didn't think I was only picking Guardians did you?
Thaedus' episode could be by far the most interesting, showing us Viltrum from a first hand perspective, before he betrayed and before he formed the Coalition.
I don't want to get too heavy into spoilers, but he causes a brutal blow on the Viltrum Empire I'd love to see first hand. We can keep Peter Cullen, or get a younger voice actor, but either way, seeing a younger Viltrum Empire would be very intriguing and a bloodbath.
Tumblr media
1. Rex Splode
Tumblr media
Despite being one of the most annoying characters in Season 1, Rex is by far the standout of Season 2 in my eyes.
Another origin that was slightly teased, I can imagine Rex's episode can be his sad origin, meeting Atom Eve in act 2, and taking out his oppressors by the end in a good old fashioned team up.
This could be a direct sequel to the Atom Eve Special, giving us more Eve, and help us understand their relationship even better. Plus Rex being blind sided with a girl who can make anything? Sounds like a fun battle to me.
Tumblr media
Thank you so much for reading! Please consider following, and check out my socials and other sites here! And let me know: Who do you want to see get an Invincible Special Origin Episode?

I've had this sitting in my drafts for a few days and just forgot to post it. Anyway! Thoughts on "Entombed" (sorry, this got long): 
1. There's an ancient mechanical creature hidden under a mountain on an uncharted world activated by a mysterious crystal and implied to have razed its entire planet. Why? How does this technology work? Is the mechanical creature alive or sentient in some way? What is it about the crystal that activates the creature? Is this just technology, or is it force weirdness, or both? Why did somebody (potentially the Zeffo) build a planet destroying giraffe of terror? Why was it in the mountain? Did someone hide it there? Did the engineer who designed it base its appearance off of a real animal? Did it hide itself? I have questions.
2. I had to watch this one twice to decide what I thought. I enjoyed it the first time, but I was so thrown by how completely different it was than what I was expecting that I had to give it another shot. Second time around? I loved it. Sometimes Star Wars is profound and serious. Sometimes it's silly Indiana Jones shenanigans in space, and I love it for that.
3. I'll talk about the whole "filler" discussion lower down, but one of the throughlines that's been carried through to this episode from the very beginning of the season is the idea of these characters exploring life outside Kamino, the army, and even the "hunker down and survive" mode they were all in last season, along with the choices they are or could be making as individuals regarding what kind of lives they want to live. Echo, for example, wants to go back to being a soldier, but this time in a fight against the empire; Crosshair is still choosing to be a soldier (for now), and he's miserable about it but having to live with the choice he made to stay; Tech's gotten to explore a bit of what he wants and likes through the riot racing episode but, more than that, he's being presented with the idea that the galaxy is broader and deeper than he considered and that he maybe has more to offer it than just what he was designed to offer; Wrecker...honestly needs an episode where he's in focus because he seems to be the most content of any of them and I'm not sure what Wrecker wants, besides being with the people he loves; and then this week was Omega's (and sort of but not quite) Hunter's turn. I'm an adult, so I tend to focus on the adult characters, but Omega's such a good character and it's great that she's also getting a chance to explore what kind of person she wants to be. This is the second episode we've seen that really focuses on her being a bit of an adrenaline junky with an interest in treasure hunting. And given what Romar said to her about how happiness is worth all the treasure in the galaxy, that's probably going to be a theme for her this season, and I'm curious to see where it goes.
4. Theres. An inexplicable megazord. Just. Out there. On a dead planet.
5.  Hunter's...Hunter's not okay. And not even in just a "tired dad" sense, I mean that Hunter's probably been crying under his helmet since "Aftermath" and that he's getting to the point where he can't hide how bone-tired and sad he actually is. It's almost shocking going back and watching the first half of season one and comparing Hunter there to how he's been in his season so far, because he was so much more open back then. He was exploring options, asking questions, trying to find a new life for all of them, and came across as pretty confident in his decisions, but after the one-two-three punch of encountering Crosshair on Bracca, getting shot by Cad Bane, and losing Omega? The man shuts down. And he only shut down more after what happened with Crosshair on Kamino. I actually suspect that Hunter agrees more with Echo about what they should be doing than he lets on, even taking his opinion that Omega shouldn't be forced into become a soldier the way they were into account. He's not happy about what they're doing, he doesn't like going on dangerous missions for someone else, and he really only got involved with Cid because they were broke and desperate and because she kind of blackmailed them into doing it, but he keeps digging his heels in and refusing to move. It seems like he feels like he's a failure as a leader, a brother, and maybe even as a father, because he hasn't really been proactively leading the group since episode nine of last season. He isn't really making decisions about what they should or shouldn't do--he's mostly letting other people decide on their missions and then letting them guilt, blackmail, or push him into it because he's so scared of making a decision that get's another one of them hurt or results in them losing another person the way they lost Crosshair (or worse) that he's mentally and emotionally paralyzed AND emotionally isolating himself from everyone else. And that paralysis is starting--more than starting--to cause friction on the team, and I'm curious to see how that's going to affect the story moving forward.
6. Seriously, someone get this beautiful bandana man some therapy.
7. Likewise, the vibe between Echo and Hunter this episode was interesting. As much as they're (at least outwardly) disagreeing on what their next steps should be, there doesn't seem to be any animosity between them, at least not yet.  All those silently exchanged glances? They disagree, but they trust each other, and I kind of think they both think that they other one is going to come around to their point of view. Eventually.
8. Omega is me if someone sets me loose on a scavanger hunt.
9. They gave me the space archaeology (kind of) and I am VIBRATING
10. I WISH archaeology was this fun. I spent an entire season walking surveys up in Wyoming, and did I ever come across a map to an ancient mecha-beast? No. No I did not. (I kid, real life archaeology is very fun and I have absolutely cried about lithic debitage and fingerprints on potsherds because someone it means someone lived and breathed and died and that stuff might seem boring but it's evidence of a human life and that's beautiful.)
11. Phee! All hail our pirate queen!
12. Phee is fun and her fashion sense is impeccable. And she has a sword. She's got a vibro-cutlass. Or something like unto a sword. But in space. And regardless of how anyone interprets them, I really liked the scenes with her and Tech at the beginning (characters being a bit snarky towards each other? I'm going to have fun), and Omega imprinting on her like a little baby duck was adorable. It's similar to the vibe Ezra had with Hondo, but where Ezra was a bit of a little shit (and I mean that affectionately) with a tendency to give Hondo chances he knew Hondo didn't deserve because he thought Hondo was a fun dude to have around (and maybe because he saw in Hondo a lot of the kind of person he would have turned into if the ghost crew hadn't picked him up and given him a chance), Omega's just all starry eyes with Phee. Is Phee trustworthy? Probably not. Is she fun for now? Oh yeah.
13. It would be hilarious if Phee turned out to be a former jedi who worked in the archives but left the order well before the war or order 66 because she wanted to go treasure hunting. This is the crackiest of crack theories and I do not expect it to happen. But it would be funny.
14. I loved how into the treasure hunt Tech started to get. Asking questions? About the puzzles? Doing his own investigation on the age of the site? Yes.
15. "I suspect that this is not, in fact, a treasure vault," as the aforementioned inexplicable megazord shambles to life once again proving that Tech, with his deadpan one-liners, is the funniest damn character on this show.  
16. Not much Echo this episode, which was a little disappointing, but I liked what little we got. Hopefully there's more in the next one!
17. There's a MAP to an TECHNOLOGICAL MONSTER that PREDATES THE REPUBLIC just OUT in SPACE and I am HERE FOR IT.
18. I didn't think it was possible to make something that vaguely resembles an ankylosaur look scary. I've been corrected. I'm glad Wrecker was able to throw the ankylosaur from hell out the window. (But also I feel a little sorry for it). 
19. Mel??? Running from the death ray??? And not making it??? Corbett and Rau I AM IN YOUR WALLS WHAT THE HELL??? But no, actually, that was a pretty good way to up tension without taking out one of the regular characters.
20. So...I'm not saying that spite is low-key a good motivator, but spite might low-key be a good motivator. I'll just leave it at that.
21. No one calls the clone characters by their names. I didn't think this was anything at first, but the more of this season I see, the more I think it definitely is. No one who isn't a clone addresses a clone by their name. And it's not just the villianous or morally ambiguous non-clone characters, no one does it. Not Phee, who has a couple different nicknames for everyone in the batch (including Tech, even though she asked what his name was), not Cid, not Rampart, not even Romar, and Romar was definitely a good guy. The only exception was the announcer and the crowd using Tech's name in "Faster," because that's the name he gave when he signed up (and there's a pretty good chance no one suspected he was a clone) and even then the announcer had to comment on how weird it was and questioned whether or not that was even a name. It's an interesting trend and is probably playing into the idea of how clones were viewed by most of the galaxy during the war--basically as non-people--but I also want to see where it goes before I come down on any hard conclusions. Apart from the overall trend, I do think that every character we're meeting is doing it for a different reason. Rampart pointedly calls clones by their CT numbers as a sign of disrespect. They are not people to him and he doesn't care if they know that. Cid? I think it's so she doesn't get attached. She doesn't want to like them too much. It might be the same for Phee, buuuuuut I'm not sure. And then with Romar...I kind of wonder if he kept calling Tech "Ace" partly because he didn't realize that Tech's name was Tech. Same with the announcer in "Faster" scratching his head over "Tech" being a name. Romar could have thought that "Tech" was a codename or a squad designation, because...I mean...clone names are unusual. Even within the galaxy far far away with the exceedingly silly names, clone names are often etymologically weird. And every person in the batch is named after their job. It'd be like going to the store and finding out that the person loading the shelves is just named "Stocker." And--hey, sad thought about clones--I kind of wonder if most people in the galaxy just assumed that clones didn't have names. After all, they're manufactured people, people who didn't--from what people could tell from the outside--have families. Who would name them? is probably what a lot of people who didn't know the clones would ask. The only people who called the clones by their names were the jedi and other clones; now the jedi are gone and most of the clones aren't in a position to even use their own names right now.
22. I just made myself sad about clones.
23. I LOVED the look of...well, of everything in this episode. It honestly felt like half the purpose of this one was to allow the art and effects teams to flex and flex they did.  
24. This whole episode is like if someone decided that Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Castle in the Sky, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, and Godzilla: King of Monsters were the same movie, and I appreciate that energy. 
25. I love that the batch's reaction at the end was basically just, "Well. That just happened." I need Crosshair to come back so they can tell him this story. Them just saying, "While you were off with the Empire we were awakening the ancient horrors," and him jokingly threatening to leave again because there's no way he's believing that this happened.
26. What is the kingdom of Elweys? I need it. I need to know. (For real, though, I'm actually glad that none of the crazy ancient technology stuff in this episode was explained. It gives the GFFA a bit of temporal depth that it doesn't always have and I'm here for it.)
27. Regarding the filler discussion: Not every story has to be serialized. It's okay for some shows to just be a series of putting characters in different combinations and scenarios and seeing what they do. In fact, that used to be the norm. For decades. That was how television worked. It's only in the last decade or so that serialized television has become more of a regular thing. 
Furthermore, there's a spectrum of ways to serialize something. On one end of that spectrum you have your eight-hour movies--things like Kenobi and Moon Knight, where pretty much every episode begins where the previous episode ended, and where no episode is complete without the overall structure of the entire show. On the other end of that spectrum you have your tentpole episode shows--think something like the first season of the Ducktales reboot--where you can mostly watch the episodes in any order you want because most of the episodes are the characters getting into various shenanigans while most of the plot is reserved for big event episodes, usually mid-season or season finales. And then elsewhere on that spectrum you'll have shows that are written a little more like a novel. Every single episode or chapter will have its own story, its own miniature inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, and its own mix of plot, character development, and worldbuilding (sometimes focusing a little more on one than the others), but the successive episodes or chapters build up to an overarching story and overall structure, and it can be hard to see how or what that overarching story is until you get to the end of the whole story. That's what The Bad Batch is. It's that kind of serialized story. 
And--just a last thought--if we're going to say that an episode is filler and doesn't contribute to the plot, we've got to one, consider that maybe story is more than plot, and two, ask ourselves what the "plot" actually is. Anyway, this is just me being a little bit salty, but the unending "filler" discourse whenever The Bad Batch isn't Crosshair's Agony Half-Hour got old last season, and this will probably be the last thing I say about it. (Also, this is just me and my two cents, so take it with a grain of salt). 
28. Jumping off of that, this kind of episode does make me suspect that we are getting at least a third season, because it feels like the writers are taking their time taking us we're they're going. I am more than okay with this.
29. DID I MENTION THE INEXPLICABLE MEGAZORD???

THICKET. The forest, crawling toward evening.
The breath in front of his face congeals and clots into the ice-brick air. It’s just cold enough for snow, and that means it’s a slush of mud and marsh lining the ground instead of anything pretty. If they were painted into a picture, someone might describe it as bleak; muted colors bleeding into seasonal depression. That doesn’t show on Minsung’s face, skin rubbed red like an outlier between the trees stripped bare and the dimming sky. He’s got on a smile, too. In the way that someone walks out of a house with a scarf only half-folded into placed, like they’d forgot they were wearing it in the first place. He should’ve brought gloves, but he didn’t, so he warms his hand against Shin’s, a physical press that’s too hard against his knuckles, like Minsung expects heat to release at a pressure point. 
“Are you miserable?” 
For all the reasons that Minsung had loved the city, he’d always missed this.The slow-sprouting sprawl of the forest and knots of weeds. It’s always been hard to explain the why of it. There’s plenty to look at in other places. Buildings and flowers and people. Cats yowling at gutters hoping to startle the mice. He could have been content with a little garden, or a sun room stuffed with potted plants. That’s what he tells himself, an angry excuse over what his life could’ve been. It’s a lie, one of the many that Minsung refuses to acknowledge. He’s better about some lies, like the ones he’d been so adamant about telling Shin towards the earlier ends of things (and the middle too, if he were being honest, though he finds it hard to be). How he doesn’t believe in love, and if he did, then he’d believe it more if it carved sharp and deep and forced him to care. 
“We can turn back before we get too deep, if you are. I won’t be upset.” He might be upset. It would be that irrational sort of upset that he’s so very good at. He’s also gotten good at hiding unkind smiles behind his teeth instead of starting an argument out of nothing, just to make everyone feel as unnecessarily upset as he does. 
But this isn’t really a question of enjoying the hike. This is a secret admission of: this is my soul, an empty forest in a haunted town. Do you hate it - are you scared of it - do you want to get lost in it? He stops walking near the base of a pine, thick enough around that it doesn’t wobble when Minsung kicks it with a boot. All that happens is pine needles tumbling down like imitation snow, sticky with sap and green against their hair. 
“Merry Christmas.”

I think s4 sucked.
While I liked Eddie because it reminded my husband of himself and me of my friends in high school (metalhead nerds), he played the role Steve had in Dustin's life. They didn't really elaborate on his presence in his life or why Dustin looked up to him, when the few times Eddie interacted with Dustin that they showed us from the first appearance he's mean and brash to them. Steve was suddenly pushed away to write in a character they could have die without everyone being upset they killed Steve (which, jokes on them because Eddie got a HUGE cult following).
The whole relationship talk between Steve and Nancy completely undid their growth and relationship from past seasons. It felt surreal for that conversation to happen. The whole Jonathon Nancy thing was weird too. Honestly, they should have just written a break up in and the season would have acted out the entire same way, it just felt like they forgot it?
Also, they have no clue how small towns work. I could get behind the lab, because there are many random ass military bases in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest. There are random research facilities. But you expect me to believe there's suddenly a MALL? not only a mall BUT A SECRET LAB WITH HUNDREDS OF WORKERS??? like yes suspend your disbelief but cmon
I definitely agree with your first two points.
and oh my god the mall thing just pisses me off soooooo much! like, I grew up in a small fucking town in Wisconsin, okay? population ~5K. my graduating class was under 120 people. you have to drive thirty minutes in any direction to find a shopping center bigger than the local family-owned grocery store or the dollar store that came eventually. we're talking small-small, everyone knows everyone, cows and cornfields smalls.
S1 basically nailed the small town vibe. the kids all knew who Steve was in episode one because of his reputation. some guy in town recognized a picture of Will as "Lonnie's kid". some random guy recognizes Nancy on sight after the whole spray-paint incident. Powell and Callahan know about Joyce's history of paranoia. etc.
the only questionable thing was the AV club radio because lmao with what funding??? but I'll give it a pass for being relatively inoffensive.
S2 was a good follow-through.
and then S3. what a fucking shit-show. first of all, no one would build a mall in the middle of nowhere, when Hawkins is supposed to be like an hour outside of Indianapolis or something. who built the mall? the russians? where did they stay while building it? how did no one clock the sudden influx of fucking russians in small-town America??? where is the logic duffers??? did you take it out back and shoot it like you did with Hopper and Steve's characterization in S3??? how did Nancy not know who Robin was when they've been in the same class for years? How does Robin know so many languages? Hawkins would have like one secondary language at best, the rest are just a lazy way of telling the audience Robin is smart.
S4 almost got the vibes right again, but there's Eddie, school weirdo that's never been mentioned, and the creel house murders, which would have been well known in earlier seasons, and former jock Steve has NO INTERACTIONS with the basketball team that he would absolutely know!!! (and hawkins apparently has a swim team, which I call bull on because this school doesn't have the funding, but it's crumbs for Steve so it gets a pass).

Little Red Running Hood
"Tell us a story" to his Granny a child had said
"The one with a wolf you used to tell us in bed"
The Grandma sighed and she closed her eyes
She knew a bigger plot behind it belies
She opened a book and searched for this story
And tried to tell it in all of its glory
Once upon a time there was a young girl
Who had beautiful eyes and long curled hair
Her parents used to treat her well
But when father was angry he tended to always yell
One day the girl received a task
Mom told her to get before the dusk
To her Grandma with medicine because she was ill
So the girl dressed up and didn't stand still
Gone out of the house and to the forest headed
The day was pretty and so was the weather
Despite her mom's request not to get distracted
She stepped out the path - against mother acted
The girl stared at flowers, mushrooms and trees
And then from behind the Wolf her sees
He arises from the bushes creeping on the miss
Quickly comes closer and firmly asks this
“Little Red Darling what you're doing here?
It's so dangerous out there and no people near...”
“I'm going to Grandma with meds in the basket
I have some food and pennies in casket”
“Don't you want my company on the road?
You could get abducted or be victim of fraud...”
“No thanks mister Wolf, I'm good on my own
When the girl spoken Wolf towards bushes flown”
She continued to walk down the forest way
But sadly for her no one could say
The Wolf kept stalking her till she got to Granny
Girl wanting to give her the meds and the pennies
But Wolf overtook the Red Hood and got there faster
The upcoming events had to be a disaster
As the Hood knocked the door, Wolf came in through the casement
Grandma greeted the girl, they have gone to basement
The Animal hid in the closet and stayed tranquil
Meanwhile Grandma prepared a tasty meal
“Wait here my darling, for you something I have”
Then the woman got up and from the kitchen left
Suddenly scream is being heard throughout the house
It was heard even by the small mouse
The girl rushes through the rooms and sees the loud noise's reason
Wolf ate the Grandma - he forgot to season
Then threatens the girl and scares her completely
Stuns her and puts in the basement discretely
When the Red Hood got up she was very frightened
The Wolf for his meal was very excited
But all at once the Gamekeeper breaks down the door
Looks at the Wolf, aims and shoots times four
“This is the end” tells to the girl
The story is finished - somebody could tell...
But fairy tales tend to deviate from the truth
These are often stories not really based on proof
This one actually is based on a real story
That got so strongly into this woman's memory
Because she experienced it from a close perspective
And adjusted ger story to be for grandkids effective
Ana - that was the Grandma's name
Whose story a fairy tale for children became
But in reality the story was not so merry
Actually you could say it was kind of scary
This Grandma was the Red Hood, currently pretty old
So let's tell the story that was never told
Story which was a way of hiding real events
So the real Red Hood such as this presents...
Once upon a time there was a young girl
Who had teary eyes and messy hair
Her parents didn't use to treat her well
When her father was angry he would always yell
One day the girl had enough quarrels
And ran from her house taking food from barrels
She headed to Grandma to look for help
Wanting to tell her how bad she felt
This day was awful, heavy rain was pouring
The Red Hood walked the path while others were snoring
Her mood was poor and she was so unwell
That didn't pay attention, stumbled and fell
Then Creepy Man arises from the bushes
Looks bit suspicious, heavy suitcase pushes
“What such young girl is doing here?
Where nothing is close and nobody's near
Somebody could hurt you, you're alone and unarmed
You'll get ill cause you're wet and get yourself harmed”
The scared girl quickly gets up
Looks at the Man as the tension builds up
Starts running - she might've escape
The Man gets further as his creepy cape
Red Hood didn't know she was being followed
She couldn't have known Man was in the wallow
Girl arrived to her Granny but in the back of house
The Creepy Man as quiet as little mouse
Got inside through the opened casement
Meanwhile the ladies gone for jam to basement
They were eating dinner and talked the girls worries
Grandma tried to make her smile reminding good memories
She went to the pantry to look for the sweets
Suddenly a loud scream Ana's ears meets
She runs to get Granny and sees something tragic
Something far away from fairy tale magic
Her Granny is dead blood was everywhere
And in the center stood a Man there
The Man she earlier had met before
Now standing near the corpse in her Granny's home
The murderer looks at her scaring her completely
Stuns her and takes to the basement discretely
The girl awakes a couple days later
But the horror of his actions made her fear greater
Fortunately officers burst through the door
Yell at the murderer, louder and more
But the Man runs to girl with a dagger so sharp
And in the girl's eyes everything goes dark
Cause officer shoots the Man, Red Hood looks away
That's the end of story which took place some day
Trauma or Ana was such a great deal
She made up that fairy tale to try and stand still
She wanted to protect her grandkids in the coming times
Thanks for listening to our simple rhymes :)
I made this poem for a project in English with my best friend and it's my magnum opus. I really loved writing this and have a whole damn hyperfixations about it so there will be a lot of art and concept art posted because I love this au so much. Hope you enjoyed it too<3

I am sending this ask because I need something to distract me while I am out of internet so feel free to ignore, or delete this. So hi! It's the person who mentioned the smallidarity life series partners thing and I am being pushy by just saying it now LOL
I think if they teamed up for a series, it would start with them finding each other and Jimmy wanting to team. Joel would light heartedly half joke about how he'll do it but only to show he's clearly the Superior player in the series bc he will be the first to MAKE SURE Jimmy doesn't die first as his partner.
They'd build a base together and Jimmy would be dragged into conflict after conflict because Joel likes to cause problems but Joel will come running to help him if HE causes problems too even if he's "late" (he was there as soon as Jimmy called) and complains about needing to save Jimmy from himself afterwards.
They are both loyal, but I think Jimmy is more loyal in the sense that I don't think he'd be capable of betraying Joel or hurting him in a way that matters while I can imagine Joel choosing to betray Jimmy but ONLY if it will garuntee him a win or at the very least something as valuable as a life when he needs it. [Joel is attached though. No matter what, he'd be so very attached despite his best efforts not to be.]
Jimmy dies first. I know Joel was the reason for at least one of Jimmy's deaths. Whether he lost his final life because of himself or because of Joel doesn't matter. Joel will be upset either way, and he will kill whoever caused Jimmy's death directly. And if he did it to himself, then he will kill whoever took any of Jimmy's other lives as revenge. He'd be a lone wolf for the rest of the series and while he may make an alliance of obligation with other reds or other non reds, he will never be loyal or attached to them like he was Jimmy.
Every episode he does without Jimmy will be spent making jokes about him while also simultaneously missing him and admitting to it on the very rare occassions. I don't think Joel would win but if he did, it'd be bittersweet I think. He won, he's happy, he kills himself to join his little buddy in the afterlife.
OH PLEAAASEEE. my internet was. SO BAD when I got your ask and I prommy I tried to answer it SUPER enthusiastically but it got eaten. twice. because of the bad data and then I forgot to answer it when I had better connection cause Im so scatterbrained. AND THEN I got back from vacation and got swamped with work and couldnt finish replying but seriously I could nawt want anything more. Life Series Smallidarity is my evvvveeeerything they mean. SO SO SO fucking much to me. you and your thoughts are ALWAYS ALWAAYYYYYSS so so so fucking welcome here in my inbox. PLEASE.... I adore them
ALLLLLL OF THIS IS SO GOOD AND SOOO REAL. you know them Perfectly. this all feels so so real. I need this more than anythiiing next season. I really do. I just MMMMNNGNMMMNG. you got them so perfect Im gonna SOB. I think they would meet eachother First again too. Like Joel is the first player Jimmy sees all season, and yup. they do their whole spiel where Jimmy asks something of Joel but this time Joel accepts it— its only to prove hes so much better than everyone else, than Scott and Tango and the whole goddamn Southlands because hes the fucking best and hell keep Jimmy by his side and alive when they couldnt.
They really would cause. soooo many problems. Joel is. Always so annoying (endearing) and so fighty and shitty and when Jimmy gets a little touch of confidence and ego hes SUCH a shithead too. theyd talk their way into a lot of problems theyd have to fight (or cowardly scurry) their way out of.
dunno if this is as realistic/in character but thinking abt Joel being the first red name again, or an early one. through either his own overconfident idiocy or. even. semi on purpose so he can be a violent mess. but they ignore the red rules and him and Jimmy stay allied. maybe Joel claims he keeps attacking Jimmy and trying to chase him off, but its not working. Jimmys too stupid (read; too loyal) to keep his distance. just the vibes of that 3rd Life era red x yellow/green allyship combined with Joels insane longevity and threat level as a red name in Last Life.
anon. anon I am speaking directly into your ear you have no idea how insane Joel post Jimmy death makes me. Joel expressing his loss and mourning through vengeance even if its (at least partially) his fault OOOOOOOHHHH. OOOOH OH. you get HIM and you get ME. the joking about him in his absence intercut with genuine care and missing him. when he does that it drives me CRAZY it would be even more batshittttt if they were direct allies
HE WON... HES HAPPY... HE KILLS HIMSELF TO JOIN HIS LITTLE BUDDY IN THE AFTERLIFE.... ANON YOU BROKE MY FUCKING HEARTTTTT. I think a Jimmy first dead and a Joel win while theyre allied would be INSANITY it would be PEAK thematic yumminess. especially with Joel being responsible for taking one of Jimmys lives. oooooh you have to sacrifice what means the most to you to win. this is a cruel fucking game and only loss and sacrifice and loneliness wins it for you.
anon you have made me do something drastic. help.
Tumblr media
HELP
Tumblr media
(I have started a traffic smallidarity PMV)
anyway silliness aside youve really got to the heart of why they would be suuuch a powerful and heart wrenching team and why I love traffic smallidarity so much. all of this is so real and canon feeling because so much of it has. happened before. even with them being only loose allies and there being. so little content technically. theres just so much potential there and if they were teamed it would be amped up even more and absolutely destroy me. anon I have been rotating everything you said and the traffic smallidarity possibilities in general in my head since I got this, youve really made my week (SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG I HATE BEING BUSY,,,,) and you really have such an excellent read on themmm, this is why traffic smallidarity is still my fav and what got me crazy abt them. augh. me when theres Them.

a list of actors and actresses I admire based off of a performance part 1:
Heath Ledger (Joker:dark knight)
I think you can predict the type of things I have to say on this role, but I can’t leave this one out. Heath Ledger really ran so all future actors, who play the role of joker could walk. I know many people were skeptical on his ability to take on a villains role, but he really out did himself. He embodied what I picture the Joker to be in many aspects.
He chose the route of method acting, which I’ve learnt through psychology is very impactful to a person, mentally and psychically. But from the end product that we get to see in the film, it’s obvious how well he prepped for it. Even little things like, licking his lips throughout scenes bring the character together. It’s so sad that he never got to see the film after it was finished, but I really think he did an outstanding job playing such a twisted and complex villain.
Brandon Flynn (Justin Foley:13 reasons why):
For those who have seen the whole show all the way up to the final season, you know what I mean when I say that his character brought out a lot of emotion. The complexity of Justin, is something that we slowly discover more of throughout each season. His journey with addiction and an unstable home life makes him such an important character to watch. I felt throughout the whole thing, that his emotions were so raw and real, that you often forgot you were watching a show. He also brought light to real situations and circumstances that people live through. I’d love to see him in other shows, to see how he creates another role.
Maisie Williams: (Arya Stark: Game of Thrones):
I’ll give you fair warning that I haven’t actually seen every season and episode of game of thrones. But I have watched enough compilation videos of individual characters that I have a pretty good idea of their storylines. I personally found the character of Arya very intriguing and unique. I think Maisie played her well enough to catch many fans attention and made her such a powerful persona to watch. Her build up of strength over the seasons was empowering and made her a strong female character to route for.
I also think those moments of revenge were like icing on the cake for viewers. For die hard fans I imagine the episode where she gets revenge for the red wedding was a satisfying touch. I know I found it to be and I haven’t even watched the full show. Props to Maisie for giving us a strong female role to favour.
This is only 3 out of the many performances I was blown away by from different actors and actresses. Of course these are all my opinion and not everyone has to agree, but I just wanted to share some thoughts with you again!

"Rise and shine, Y/N," Jarvis' voice comes over the loudspeaker. You groan and roll over, shoving your face into your pillow. "It's 7 AM. The weather in Malibus is seventy-two degrees with scattered clouds. The surf conditions are fair with waist-to-shoulder high lines. High tide will be at 10:52 AM."
"Do you have to do this every time?" you huff.
"I'm afraid Mr. Stark insists."
"Yeah, well, Mr. Stark can kiss my ass. Where is he?"
"In the lab. He's requested your presence."
You get out of bed and quickly get dressed. There was something you needed to do today... something you needed to do with Tony. What was it...? A light bulb goes off in your head and you curse out loud.
"Shit. Jarvis, will you call Rhodey and tell him we're on our way? Shit, I forgot."
"Yes, ma'am."
You walk through the house, not stopping in Tony's room to see if Christine is awake. Jarvis won't let her anywhere that she isn't supposed to be which is why you're not worried about leaving her alone. You trek through the main room when you hear the clack of sleek heels on the tile.
"Good morning, Y/N." Pepper enters the room with a tight smile on her face. You have to give it to her. She's been with the company for ten years now, and she doesn't have an easy job to do. "I have your clothes here. They have been pressed and dry cleaned."
"Hi, Pepper. Those aren't mine. I wasn't here last night. They're for the woman in his bedroom."
"I see."
"Listen, I want to tell you how much I appreciate you and what you do for Tony. You do more than what's needed of you."
"Thank you," she smiles.
Tony's lab is located downstairs in the basement that is blocked off by a door that needs a code. Only you, Happy, Tony, and Pepper have a code to get through. This is where Tony works on his creations and does most of his thinking. Tony is playing hard rock music that you can hear even with the door closed. After punching in your code, you enter the lab space.
"Do you really have to wake me up at seven in the morning?"
"Don't look at me. That was Jarvis."
"Who created Jarvis?" you joke. "He said you needed me down here. What's going on?"
"Would you believe me if I said I got lonely?"
"Tony, I'd have believed you if you said you wanted me to get you a coffee from the cart across the room."
"Would you?"
"What are you working on?" you chuckle. One of his dad's old but pristine cars is in front of him with the motor out. Based on what you see on the screen, you believe he's building a new motor for it. "A new motor?"
"The old one crapped out."
Pepper walks down the stairs and enters the code to the same door you entered through. She is on the phone with someone and as soon as she enters, the music turns down.
"Please don't turn down my music."
"I'll keep you posted." She hangs up. "You two are supposed to be halfway around the world right now."
"Yes, that's why I came down here. You told Rhodey you'd be there hours ago."
"Why are you trying to hustle me out of here?"
"Your flight was scheduled to leave an hour and a half ago."
"That's funny, I thought with it being my plane and all that it would just wait for me to get there."
"Tony, I need to speak to you about a couple of things before I get you out of the door," she sighs and looks at the paperwork in her hands.
"Doesn't it kind of defeat the whole purpose of having your own plane if it departs before you arrive?"
"Larry called. He's got another buyer for the Jackson Pollock in the wings. Do you want it? Yes or no."
"Is it a good representation of his spring period?"
"No. The Springs was actually the neighborhood in East Hampton where he lived and worked, not 'spring' like the season. I think it's a fair example. I think it's incredibly overpriced."
"I need it. Buy it. Store it," he declares. 
Both you and Pepper can't help but smile at his attitude. Tony is not like anyone you've ever met.
"I need you to sign this before you get on the plane," she says and opens the file in her hands.
"What are you trying to get rid of me for? What, you got plans?"
"As a matter of fact, I do."
"I don't like it when you have plans," he flirts.
Tony is a natural-born flirt and Pepper is the perfect person to direct that energy to. She's been with him long enough o know the kind of person he is and she hasn't left him... yet.
"I'm allowed to have plans on my birthday."
"It's your birthday?" you ask with a quiet gasp.
"Yes."
"I knew that. Already?" Tony asks.
"Yeah. Isn't that strange? It's the same day as last year," she flirts back.
She looks over at you, clears her throat, and becomes stoic again. It's as if she knows you're watching her and doesn't want to get in trouble. Why? Tony is free for the taking.
"Get yourself something nice for me."
"I already did," she smirks.
"And?"
"Oh, it was very nice. Very tasteful. Thank you, Mr. Stark."
"You're welcome, Miss. Potts."
"Okay, if you're done flirting with each other, we got a plane to catch," you interrupt.
"Yeah. Let's go."
Whenever Tony drives one of his own cars, it's never for the scenic route. Tony loves speed and often proves to you and Happy just how fast he can go without killing anyone. Happy is being you trying to catch up with the speed Tony is going at and even lost him a couple of times. Rhodey is definitely going to give you shit when you arrive which you are prepared for. Toyn races into the airport and screeches to a halt with Happy right behind him.
"You're good. I thought I lost you back there," Tony laughs as he gets out.
"You did, sir. I had to cut across Mulholland," Happy replies and gets the bags from the trunk.
Rhodey is standing right outside the open door of the plan with a deep frown on his face. Shit, you're really in for it now.
"What's wrong with you?" Rhodey snaps.
"What?"
"Three hours."
"I got caught doing a piece for Vanity Fair," Tony lies.
"For three hours? For three hours, you got me standing here," he glares.
"I'm waiting on you now. Let's go. Come on."
Tony smiles and walks onto the plane, Happy is right behind him with the bags, and you turn to Rhodey with an apologetic look on your face.
"I'm so sorry, Rhodey. I woke up late and--"
"Don't worry about it. We're late."
You and Rhodey walk into the plane as the pilot prepares for take-off. It's only until you are at cruising altitude that you're able to move around and relax a bit more without seatbelts. The flight attendant on board gets drinks and food ready for you three, and Rhodey takes out a newspaper to read.
"What are you reading, platypus?" Tony asks but Rhodey deflects his question. "Come on, sour patch. Don't be mad."
"I told you, I'm not mad. I'm indifferent, okay?"
"I said we were sorry," you pout. 
Being with Tony for twenty years has changed you as a person. You're not like who you were in the 40s. Bucky and Steve kept you honest, loyal, and sane. While some of that is still true today, you're more lenient with things and more spontaneous because of Tony. He taught you that you can allow yourself to let go and enjoy the moment instead of worrying about the future like Steve often did.
"You don't need to apologize to me. I'm just indifferent right now. You don't respect yourself so I know you don't respect me."
The flight attendant comes by with three hot towels which everyone accepts. She grabs three plates of sashimi and puts them in front of you, Tony, and Rhodey.
"I respect you."
"I'm just your babysitter. So, when you need your diaper changed let me know and I'll get you a bottle, okay?"
"Hey! Heat up the sake, will you?" Tony asks the only flight attendant on board. "Thanks for reminding me."
"We're not drinking. We're working right now," Rhodes frowns.
"You can't have sashimi without sake."
"You are constitutionally incapable of being responsible."
"It would be irresponsible not to drink. I'm just talking about a nightcap," Tony shrugs.
"Come on, Rhodey. Just one drink. You need to unwind and let your feathers ruffle," you grin.
You and Tony accept the alcoholic drink from the flight attendant, and Rhodey hesitantly accepts his. However, after the first sip, he starts to calm down. Before you know it, he's as loose as a goose. They both moved the party to the couch, Tony turns on some music and allowed the lights to change different colors as if you were at the club.
"When I get up in the morning and I'm putting on my uniform, do you know what I recognize? I see in that mirror that every person that's got this uniform on got my back!" Rhodey grins. 
"Hey, you know what? I'm not like you. I'm not cut out--"
"No, no. You don't have to be like me! You're more than what you are!" Rhodey cuts him off. 
A metal pole rises from the middle of the room and the flight attendant comes out to dance. Well if you can't beat them, join them. You down the rest of your drink and get up to dance with the lady. Tony watches with a grin but tries to pay attention to what Rhodey is saying.
"Can you excuse me if I'm a bit distracted here?"
"No! You can't be distracted right now! Listen to me!"
The rest of the flight is spent dancing, singing along to the music, drinking, and having a good time. Though, Rhodey calmed down right before he got off the plane at the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. The General and a handful of soldiers are waiting for you at the end of the line.
"General," Tony says and shakes his hand.
"Welcome Mr. Stark and Ms. Y/L/N. We look forward to your weapons presentation."
"Thank you," you smile and shake his hand.
To test something as big as the missile Tony and his team created, it needs to be tested in the appropriate field that the Army uses for things like this. It's quite a far distance from the base but you don't mind the extra drive. Everyone who wasn't busy attended this weapons demonstration because they were curious as to what Tony is capable of. Once you arrive, Tony stands in front of everyone with his back turned to the mountain behind him.
"Is it better to be feared or respected? Is it too much to ask for both? With that in mind, I humbly present the crown jewel of Stark Industries' Freedom Line. It's the first missile system to incorporate our proprietary repulsor technology. They say the best weapon is one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it, and that's how America does it." He gestures to the person in charge to launch the weapons. The rocket launches into the air and breaks apart to allow tons of tiny bombs to fly from the middle of it to maximize damage. "If you find an excuse to let one of these off the chain, I personally guarantee you the bad guys won't even want to come out of their caves. For your consideration, the Jericho."
Just as he finishes speaking, the bombs hit the mountains and explode rock and debris to the fullest. A gust of wind shoots toward the group from the explosion, and you subtly use your aerokinesis to advert the wind to stay away from you. Everyone is impressed with the weapon for sale, and they break into small groups to talk about it. Obadiah must be watching the time because he calls Tony to ask how it went. You're about to go after him when Rhodey gently grabs your arm.
"Hey, what's up?" you ask.
"I don't mean disrespect at all, but why are you here? Like, here? I know you've been a big part of Tony's life but you didn't help design these."
"Actually, I was. I just don't like the attention. I'll save that one for Tony. Plus, I couldn't let him come alone, and the General was more than okay with me coming. I don't see a problem here."
Like hell, you're gonna tell him you're an alien with powers. He'd have the entire Army on your ass in seconds. You leave his side and join Tony inside one of the military vehicles that will take you back to base.
"Wait, Tony!"
"Sorry, Rhodey, this is the fun car. The boring one is right behind us."
Rhodey resists an eye roll because he's actually kind of proud of Tony.
"Nice job back there."
"See you back on base."

CHAPTER 5. THE FLAYED. Sorry I just think that’s super dramatic.
1.) Why is that elevator so fast? The kids could have gotten this place shut down so fast just by going to OSHA.
2.) Erica and Dustin are worsties.
3.) They are so far underground. The logistics of getting that elevator built must have been a nightmare.
4.) The evil Russians can’t build elevators but they sure are good at building secret bases under houses.
5.) The subtitles have betrayed me and no longer translate Russian for me. Probably because Joyce and Hopper don’t speak Russian. So like it makes sense but I can still be annoyed because I’m nosy.
6.) Policeman have rules? Man, you really aren’t from around here, my dude.
7.) STOP SHOOTING A MACHINE GUN IN A CLOSED AREA, DIPSHIT.
8.) Joyce is bad at throwing but that Russian is worse at shooting. HOW MANY ROUNDS DID YOU SHOOT WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING? And people say stormtroopers are bad, but they at least canonically weren’t actually trying to stop them. Pretty sure that dude actually was supposed to be stopping them.
9.) Nancy called Jonathan at 6 am to vague about Will being in danger, something no rational person would do, but it was done to be dramatic so they could cut to other characters.
10.) JOYCE AND HOPPER BICKERING IS SO BORING. SO FUCKING BORING.
11.) I love Max being sassy to Mike. Also excited for this to go from 4 groups to 3 groups.
12.) I missed part of Robin and Erica being sassy to each other because I was giving smooches to my cat on his widdle head. And now he’s cuddling with me. That’s not an update about the show but I feel it’s important.
13.) Steve stops the elevator door with a truly impressive move.
14.) Dustin got called roast beef.
15.) I don’t care about evil Russian guy who looks like if you ordered Arnold Scwarzenegger from Wish.
16.) OHH MY GODDDDDDDD. WHY DID THE DUFFERS HAVE JOYCE AND HOPPER BE SO INSUFFERABLE AROUND EACH OTHER THIS SEASON?
17.) I forgot that they carjack a guy named Todd and it is the Toddfather car.
18.) Steve figures out the potential upside down connection about the same time that Dustin does.
19.) I love that El just breaks into so many places.
20.) Their plan is to use an 80 year old woman like a tracking dog.
21.) I forgot they take Alexei to Murray.
22.) I love Joyce.
23.) I love Robin believing Erica about the comma room immediately while Dustin is like ‘that could be anything’.
24.) It is very funny that the only time Steve wins a fight is against a Russian soldier while in an adorable sailor outfit.
25.) Robin discovers the portal.
26.) I hate that they have Jonathan say he was 100% wrong. He kind of wasn’t wrong. The real enemy is capitalism, btw. The patriarchy too. That being said, “I’m a woman and I want to do this so you’re not allowed to be mad about losing a job you desperately need because your financial situation is completely different than mine” is not a feminist take, actually. Like Nancy has her own phone in her room. She has her own TV. Her mom is a stay at home mom. She doesn’t have to worry about how she’s going to pay for college or if she has connections for a job because she has both. She can even blow off a job in the summer before her her senior year because it’s not that important. Jonathan doesn’t have any of those luxuries.
Like yes, Nancy was right about this case and she was right to pursue it, but Jonathan wasn’t wrong to want to drop a case that looked like nonsense to keep a job he needed. Or at least not rock the boat with it. It was also just kind of naive that Nancy thought that there was an amount that would make a bunch of sexist men who saw her as a couple years away from being worth fucking to see her as a professional. There literally wasn’t. They didn’t ask for proof, they asked for her to shut he fuck up and get them coffee.
27.) I love Lucas being the one to notice a moment to actually talk to El. Dustin may think he’s the smartest child out of the boys, but it’s actually Lucas.
28.) I forgot that they get chased.
29.) The flirting going back and forth between carnage in the hospital while Nancy and Jonathan run for their lives is something.
30.) so many people get choked this season.
31.) Jonathan gets his ass beat this season.
32.) For every time that ugly man disrespects Nancy Drew, he owes me 20 dollars, so he owes me a lot.
33.) I think they just killed like 1/5 of the papers staff at least. Do either of them get to have a moment to reckon with the fact that they killed two human beings?
34.) The bodies melted into bad CGI that is STILL DISGUSTING.
35.) Have you heard of a meet cute and a meet ugly? Now in season 3 episode 5, you can see a meet disgusting where two blobs come together to form into a mini mind flayer.

Whew! Ok Lord!
Thank You!
You are keeping me busy getting tasks done & helping me feel productive again!☺️⚓🙏🙇‍♀️
I mean, yes, I had a bad night & running on ~4 hours sleep. Blood sugar drop at 5am then sinus drainage/ibs for 2 hours sucked! Like flying rubber dog doo on a C-5 to china! Lol! Yeah, one of my favorite lines!
And of course I had stayed up writing last night's til like 1am. I ~thought~ wh was asleep & could go to bed. Psyche! Because he's made 2 bathrooms inoperable, & because I have rebuilt every piece of my own toilet to the point only the porcelain is still original.. so.. uses my bathroom. 🙄🤦‍♀️
I SO cannot wait to have my own clean space! I am not the type of woman to want stuff all over the countertops. The rare special occasions I wear makeup I put it away in my carrier cases. Hair brushes, combs, do-dads. Put away. I like clean but lived in.
But I got up.
Got to work. Heck I got to doing so many things that I forgot to take my morning meds! [Which, btw Lord. I pray to detox so I will be rid of all of them & the cgm. Really hate having such a thing. Too much like the mark of the beast.] But well, this morning! Being woken because my blood sugar was gonna bottom out.. it was a life saver. Oh! Thanks for showing me 1 butterscotch hard candy is enough!
But feeling accomplished Lord.
It's a good thing!
But I also want the people in my life to know how much I appreciate them!
It's why I write, it's why I like♡. [Even when the bulk are people that I don't speak to here, I feel like God You appreciate me putting forth this effort!] I think about each person I speak to & care about. Wanting to give each of them a hug multiple times a day! I really do miss each, & the ability to give hugs!
Kinda think I finally understand that I hit the wall as far as being isolated from people I care about. I feel my soul's Mate.../s.. sigh.. God please??? I feel him.. even though I don't know.. & I know You do Lord! Let him know... I am, & always be, his huckleberry. I'm not a shrinking violet type of princess. I expect to contribute, in whatever form that comes Lord. Only You Lord know.. You can use my life like Sarah, or You may use me like a warrior nun. Or whatever combination because I rather enjoy watching science shows, building Fedora/Redhat Linux based computers, as I also enjoy watching my mandevilla still have blossoms, cherry tomato bushes producing & my herbs & ferns being happy. Would my soul's Mate.../s sigh... enjoy being in the kitchen with me Lord? I pray so. But. It is Your Will, not mine own. I only know...I love You Lord. And that I will work so that as I work I become the best me so that Your Plan will manifest in my life. You give me energy, a stubborn will to survive & determination to make my goals a reality. To make the dreams You Lord have shown me actually happen! I have never been the type to give up. And thank You Lord for reminding me of the woman You Created me to be! The woman You molded with hard working parents, that as much as I grew up with television & things like 'Scarecrow & Mrs. King,' I really only watch things like Barnwood Builders & TWC anymore! Although I lost both of those favorites when had to downgrade to limited basic. Argh! I mean what the heck?!?! The Weather Channel not on limited basic???? So keep watching crazy things, but don't be informed about the weather!?!??! That's insane to me! But I watched another crazy, zany b movie tonight as writing this. "Lava Storm" 2008. With Ian Ziering. I love the cheesy bad science! Lmao!
Just so tired Lord. Good thing I started this early, kept getting dozy. I so can't believe that weather has changed so much that I'm still wear shorts! In high school, I'd have been in turtlenecks, & sweatshirts & needing a coat! I so love Autumn & the changing of the seasons Lord! And I can't wait to be able to decorate & make where I live into a home. To be away from wh scrooge self & this place.
Oh! Today I got my counseling forms filled out, always paperwork. But praying for real help. As I also dealt with emails, that QDRO is almost done.
Today has been a good day! And I thank You Lord for that!
Even with the headache from the weather/allergies. I have been feeling more like myself. But must stay vigilant to thwart the adversary from turning me into the Blue Ridge Parkway, full of twisty turns, switchbacks, & hills. As much as I love those mountains & driving during autumn, I want to get back onto the train tracks be on Your righteous woman path Lord!
Just.. please tell my soul's Mate.../s sigh... tell him.. I love him, & I feel him, & I miss him. That I will always wait & never give up! Not on You Lord. Not on life. And not on Your Blessing me such that I feel like I've won life's lottery! To have finally gotten my life right!
oh Lord.. please??? I know... sigh..
Believe. And oh how do I Lord!
~True love never dies & true love always waits.~
Thank You Jesus for loving me!
Your sleepy, calmer, but listening carefully & closely daughter,
~Tijgeress kat Phoenix. 🌺

AO3 Link
Tumblr media
Flowers were more beautiful when they first bloomed in springtime. The colors that would faint over time would be vivid and the smell they produced wasn’t like any other. Their aroma was as delicious as a luxurious perfume but yours were sweeter than all of them.
Inumaki stroked his cock with one hand and held your panties up to his nose with the other. Your smell was enough to make him feel intoxicated but inhaling it as he pleased himself made the experience even more ecstatic.
In his mind, he was fantasizing about going on a date with you, eating your favorite dessert together, and chatting about the future ahead of the two of you.
You would laugh at all the jokes he made to hear you laugh and brush your fingers on his forearm in a flirty manner, looking at him with a smile and suggest to him that the two of you get out of here and go somewhere more private. Somewhere where you could give him all your attention.
Would you take all of your clothes or would you rather have him undress you?
He knew you would actually rather want him to tear your clothes off of you.
He hadn’t seen much of your skin and the uniform you wore didn’t help his fantasies. Inumaki could only try to imagine what color your nipples were or how supple the flesh of your thighs was.
His cock twitched in his hand as he bit back a moan.
Too much.
Inumaki tightened his grip on the base, refusing to cum yet. He still had time. It would be meaningless if he came so early.
He pressed his face into your soft pillow, inhaling your faint scent. Ahh, that would be how you smelled if he were to inhale your hair?
His grip on your panties loosened and he focused his attention on your pillow as he turned around in your bed. With his face buried deep in your pillow, he reached for one of your plushies.
From the first year in the school until you became third years, he always wanted to be a little closer to you. Not like how you treated your lower classmen. He wanted more than that.
Instead of ruffling his hair and calling him a friend, he wanted you to pull his hair and make him the center of your world.
Panda and Maki had noticed the way he looked at you. They knew him as long as you did yet you were still clueless.
He hadn’t thought he would feel this way about any person at any point in his life but here he was, humping your plushie in your bed.
He wondered what would you do if you knew exactly what was going through his head during a day. Because all he could think about was bending you over the closest surface and making you moan out his name in a prayer.
When his cock twitched, warning him that he was close, he didn’t try to stop himself this time. He pushed his hips forward staggeringly as he came on the plushie with a groan, his breathing completely out of control.
He still had time, didn’t he?
By the time you came back from your shopping trip with Maki and Kugisaki, your room was as you left it, or at least you were too careless to notice your missing panties from the laundry and the icky acidic smell surrounding your plushies.
~~~
You were clueless.
So much so that it hurt him.
There wasn’t much time left until the third years graduated and left. Once the two of you graduated, you wouldn’t call him for obvious reasons. What did you have to talk with him about anyway?
All he could say was gibberish.
He hated it.
“You’re okay?” Panda noticed that he wasn’t eating.
“Salmon.”
“You sure?”
“Salmon.”
There was a moment of silence before Panda spoke again.
“You know, I heard (name) is going to move to Fukuoka once we graduate.”
He didn’t say anything.
“It’s far away from Tokyo, isn’t it?”
Silence.
~~~
The day of graduation came but Inumaki didn’t make a move.
You moved away and he stayed.
Maki kept talking about your new life to Inumaki while he was unable to feel happy for you.
Years passed but Inumaki couldn’t move on.
It had been a hectic day at work and he was getting ready to take a shower when he got a call from an unknown number. This was the fifth time they were calling. He wanted to ignore it because the person on the other side wouldn’t understand him if they weren’t one of his friends but whether it be curiosity or boredom, he answered.
“Ahh, you picked up!”
Inumaki’s body froze. He felt like his limbs turned into stone.
“Hellooo? It’s Toge, right?” It was your voice.
“Kelp.”
“That was for greetings… Right? I kinda forgot about your language, haha. I’m sorry for calling you this late. Are you doing fine?”
“Salmon.” His lips were trembling. You sounded excited to talk to him.
“I see! I’m doing fine too, I moved back to Tokyo! I got a super small apartment and everything, I moved all of my furniture myself, can you believe that?”
“Tuna tuna!”
“I know right!” you laughed and let out a small sigh. “Anyway, I called to ask if you would wanna meet up? I thought we could catch up and I could show you my apartment. Maki and the others said they were free this Saturday, how about you?”
“...”
“I-... Was that too many questions? I’m sorry, I’m just excited you answered the phone.”
He opened his mouth but amongst the many things he wanted to say to you, he could only speak gibberish. He closed it again.
“Are you there?”
“Salmon.”
“Do you think you’d wanna come to my place for a reunion slash housewarming party?”
“Tuna mayo.”
“Is that a yes?” You sounded hesitant.
“Salmon.”
“Great! I’ll.. I’ll text you the address, don’t bring anything, I just wanna see you and others. It’s been so long!”
“Tuna tuna.”
“Ahh, I missed you all so much. Fukuoka was no good. I feel like I belong in Tokyo with everyone.”
He agreed yet again and silence fell. It must have been tiring to hold a conversation with him. Most people gave up after their first try, it felt too much like a one-sided conversation.
“I should go,” you said, he could hear the smile in your voice. “It was really great to hear your voice again, Toge. I hope it was the same for you.”
Yes , he thought.
“Okay… I’ll see you on Saturday, I’mma text my address to you, and please save my number! We might work together in the future, who knows!!”
“Tuna tuna!”
“Goodnight.”
You hung up.
Inumaki held his phone up to his ear for a moment longer even after you ended the call. His eyes slowly landed on the tent on his pants.
You had missed him. You wanted to see him.
A second later his phone buzzed in his hand.
[New Message]
Unknown Number: [ADDRESS] i live on the fifth floor but there isn’t an elevator TwT you will have to walk up the stairs SORRY >v<
His lips curled up into a smile.
~~~
His hair took an hour to style yet it looked the same. He had even bought a new styling gel, ugh, what a waste of money.
Apart from that, Inumaki found himself in front of the apartment building, unable to push the door to get inside.
“Inumaki, great to see you again,” Fushiguro’s voice startled him.
Inumaki turned around to see the large group heading this way.
“Yeesh, did you drown yourself in body spray?” Maki covered her mouth. Kugisaki next to her laughed and continued teasing Itadori until they arrived at the building’s door.
“Inumaki?”
“Kelp!”
“Ah, it’s good to see you again. When was the last time we saw each other? A year ago?” Maki walked past him and opened the door herself. “Probably,” she answered her own question.
There was some small talk going on, everyone was talking to him but his eyes were going back and forth between the presents everyone was holding. He stared at the bouquet of roses in his own hand.
“What did you buy?” Kugisaki asked Fushiguro.
“A toaster.”
“Lame.” She turned to Itadori to ask him what he bought next.
“I bought a toaster too…”
While the two boys were arguing about how one of them had to return their gifts, Maki placed a hand on Inumaki’s shoulder. “Panda’s coming too.”
Ah, his expression must have contorted into something vile. She perhaps thought he was only worried about Panda’s whereabouts.
“Seaweed.”
“Which floor was it again?” Kugisaki asked no one specifically.
Inumaki held five fingers up.
“Let’s get going then!” Itadori smiled, “Feels like we’re wasting time here when we can catch up altogether.”
The trio started climbing up the stairs first, leaving Maki and Inumaki to walk behind them.
“They’re still the same, huh?”
“Salmon.”
“I heard (name) invited some people from Kyoto over as well but none of them could make it.”
When he raised a brow Maki explained further.
“Curse season in Kyoto, I think. Mai was complaining about having to work overtime and all.”
“How did she manage to choose the only damn building in Tokyo without an elevator!?” Kugisaki groaned.
Maki chuckled, “It’s barely in Tokyo, and honestly, do you think she could afford one with an elevator?”
The trio started laughing. Inumaki smiled too.
“Hey,” she said, turning back to face him. Her voice was quieter. “You smell nice and not like an animal. I can't believe you finally took a bath without anyone telling you. Wait or was it because you wanted to smell nice specifically for today? For her?”
When Inumaki blushed, she burst into laughter.
Itadori was about to ask what they were talking about back there but they had already arrived on the fifth floor.
There were four different doors but they could easily tell which one was yours from the bright colored poster you had taped on it.
“What does it say?” Kugisaki couldn’t read because Itadori and Fushiguro were trying to take pictures of it.
“Welcome back Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College graduates,” Fushiguro read out loud.
“Put some feeling to it!” Itadori whined. “There are like five exclamation marks on it, you have to read it-“
The door he was pointing at opened.
“I told you I heard them,” you said with a giggle. Panda was already inside laughing quietly. You greeted them all, smiling from ear to ear before moving away from the door to invite them inside.
The younger trio walked inside first, then Maki hugged you, said something Inumaki couldn’t hear.
His eyes were on you, admiring how gorgeous you were.
“Aren’t you coming in?” you said then noticed the flowers in his hand. "Aww, Toge, you shouldn't have."
He gave the flowers to you, his cheeks flushed faintly pink as he walked past you to enter your home.
Inside, Panda and the trio were arguing about how he had gotten there before them.
“It’s a secret!” Panda yelled.
“He came from the roof so he wouldn’t be seen,” Maki replied as she hung her coat.
Laughter filled the apartment.
Inumaki felt at home, it had been so long since he heard the lively chatter of his friends.
“I’m glad you could make it,” you said, fixing Itadori’s jacket he had left on the floor instead of hanging it like everyone else.
“Salmon.” His pulse went haywire.
“I don’t know if you like beer or cognac but we have both.” He stared at you a little longer than usual so you elaborated. “When I left my job in Fukuoka, some colleagues bought me a cognac bottle. It’s bitter but I didn’t wanna waste it.”
“Heeeeyy, (name)!” Panda yelled, “Tell the youngsters to drink apple juice or something! They’re drinking from our stuff!”
“I have more beer in the fridge!” You turned around on your heels and walked into the kitchen to put the flowers in a vase, speaking louder so they could hear you through the thin wall. “Besides, aren’t they old enough to drink?!”
You peeked inside the living room to see what was happening.
Both Itadori and Kugisaki clinked their cans of beer, ignoring you while Fushiguro nodded in your direction to confirm.
“Then I don’t see the problem.” You took your place next to Maki.
Inumaki meekly walked inside, sitting between you and Panda.
“It’s nice having everyone together again.” Itadori smiled
“It really is,” you agreed. The beer tasted the best when you were with friends.
“Salmon.”
“You are so heartless, (name). You left us to move to Fukuoka.” Panda pouted as he leaned onto your shoulder, crushing Inumaki who was in the way.
“They offered me better pay.” You patted on his head, carding your fingers through his thick fur.
He leaned into your touch, humming softly. “Since you’re back here, money clearly doesn’t buy happiness.” he snickered.
“Money can buy happiness,” Kugisaki argued. “You can always buy the new fashion trends and new makeup. Don’t ever say that!”
Panda lifted his head to argue with Kugisaki while you used the opportunity to give out beer to anyone who hadn’t gotten one and you gave one to Inumaki, his fingers brushed against yours as he took it from you.
Maki gave an exaggerated sigh, “We came here to celebrate (name)’s return and her new place.” Everyone stared at her and she continued. “Let’s make sure to make her new house feel like a home.”
You listened to your friends’ cheers as they all cracked open their cans of beer, taking sips, chatting, and singing along to the faint music from the television program Panda turned on.
It would be genuinely hard to bring the gang together like this but one call from you had been enough since you were everyone’s soft spot in the group.
Years had passed.
You tried to not get lost in your thoughts and answered Maki who asked you what you were doing now that you moved here.
“Well, I couldn’t go back to working with Nanami since he finds me annoying.” You tried to humor it. “I live in a one-room apartment in the outskirts of Tokyo as you can see and work as a temporary sorcerer under someone Gojo introduced me to.”
Maki laughed, “What did you expect? Everything would be unchanged and that you’d get a job immediately?”
“I think she’s complaining about working for someone Gojo introduced her to.” Fushiguro theorized while holding his chin.
“No, she’s bummed out about living in a one-room apartment.” Itadori joined the nonsense.
“I’m just sad that I had to leave Fukuoka to live in a one-room apartment in Tokyo and work for Gojo’s friend!” you whined.
“Just like we guessed,” Maki said.
With another sigh, you rolled your eyes.
“You got yourself a boyfriend yet?” Kugisaki’s question made everyone look at you.
“I didn’t have time to find one,” you spoke behind your beer can.
“Talking about boyfriend…” Panda hummed, “Inumaki had a huuuge crush on you back when we were still students.”
“I completely forgot about that,” Maki feigned being clueless and punctuated her words by smacking a balled fist down onto her other hand. "I remember it now! How nostalgic! Inumaki always stared at you and all."
“Oh, really?” Your face softened as a faint color of pink tinted your cheeks, eyes landing on the young man who was blushing all the same. “You liked me?”
Inumaki kept nodding as if to agree with what they were saying.
“I never noticed,” Fushiguro said.
“Me neither, Inumaki is really good at hiding his feelings because he doesn’t talk much.”
“Well, that was in the past,” Kugisaki replied. “Some high school crush doesn’t last forever.”
Before anyone else could comment on the topic, Panda changed the subject, finally getting his claws on the cognac bottle to drink the last bit.
That still didn’t stop the two of you from blushing.
As the night dragged on, the chatting continued but as the time was getting late, people had to get going.
Itadori and Fushiguro left first when Sukuna’s vessel revealed to be the type who couldn’t hold his drink.
Maki and Kugisaki left together, Panda had told you that they lived together. You didn’t ask too many questions but you could tell why.
Panda took his leave right after the two girls left. He congratulated you once more before saying goodbye and leaving from where he came.
“I guess it’s only the two of us left,” you said, standing beside Inumaki after you put the presents on the kitchen counter for further inspection.
“Tuna mayo.”
“You can sit on the couch, I’ll go get some more snacks,” you informed, leaning forward starting to collect the empty beer cans but Inumaki got up to help you clean the table before finally, he slumped on the empty couch while you prepared something in the kitchen.
You entered the living room and walked around the couch to put a tray full of snacks and drinks on the low table. It was obvious he didn’t want to leave yet and you didn’t have the heart to bring up the fact that you had to get up early.
“You look different,” you said as you sat next to him, leaving a small space between. “I mean, obviously you would but unlike the others, you look more mature.”
He stared, waiting for you to continue.
“Nevermind.” Panicked, you instead reached for your beer.
Inumaki grabbed his remaining beer and chugged it until the can was empty.
Then you followed his lead to finish your own beer, once your own can was also empty, you both put the cans on the table. You felt slightly dizzy from the alcohol, you regretted drinking it too fast. You were quite lightweight after all.
You looked up at him with your cheeks tinted with a faint red from alcohol and stretched your arms. “So… you used to like me,” you said.
He clasped his chin between index finger and thumb and pretended to give the matter some serious thought. “Salmon.”
You laughed, something he hadn’t thought you would do. He hadn’t realized it until now but the two of you always had found it easy to have fun together. You were patient and you always listened to him. Always.
“I used to have a crush on you too but I didn’t think you liked me.”
Your words petrified him. The way you looked at him was indescribable, he had never thought he would see this expression on you.
You continued after a momentary silence, cheeks blushing furiously. “I mean… I don’t know, forget about it. It’s in the past. It was in the past. You liked me in the past. As Kugisaki said, a crush from high school doesn’t last forever.”
Inumaki opened his mouth to say something but he closed it when he noticed your stare at him.
“You…” you continued as Inumaki looked at you and spoke without thinking. “You still like me.”
It wasn’t a question, it was a fact.
He felt a little embarrassed, he was way too nervous. You were both drunk and it was just an observation. Nonetheless, he went warm all over, eyes wide in surprise. His heart was hammering through his chest. He was sure he was going to die of a heart attack.
There was a small moment of silence before he placed his hand on top of yours. He couldn’t hide his excitement, he was here, alone with the woman he loved. He had the biggest smile on his face and he was as red as a tomato. Ah, his friends would make fun of him if they hadn’t left so early.
He was being too obvious about liking you.
“You’re too close,” you remarked with a giggle, trying to cover your embarrassment.
Everything was happening too quickly for his head to catch up. He was already embarrassed about the whole of his feelings being exposed and now when you were looking like this in front of him was off-limits.
He couldn’t hold back anymore. He finally had you back, he was too scared to let you go.
“Kiss me,” he said, startling you.
A sudden rush of shivers running down your spine left you panting and you moved forward without even wanting to. Your body was moving on its own, your lips parted and pressed against Inumaki’s.
Your pulse quickened in both panic and confusion as his lips moved against yours, hesitant yet still hungry to taste you greedily. He pushed his tongue inside, savoring your taste as your entire mouth moved without your will.
His hand moved on your neck petting the hair strands falling down to your nape. Something closer to a laugh escaped him, it was the first genuine laugh you had heard coming from him.
He pulled himself back and you finally gained back control on your own body but something still felt foreign. Your head was dizzy. “Toge,” you managed, “I think you had too much to drink.”
“Fish flakes,” he responded.
Taken aback by his remark, you were quiet for a moment before making a move to get up from the couch. “You should leave.”
All of his remaining logical thoughts jumped out of the window as he sucked the air through his teeth, making a loud whistle sound. “Don’t move.”
Your body froze on the couch in the position you were. Your face flushed red as he carefully placed a hand on your hip and he started to lean closer to your face.
You watched him tilt his head. Slowly but at the same time desperately, he moved his hand. His hand slipped under your shirt, just enough so that his fingertips brushed the skin above your abdomen, and he whispered. “(name).”
Hearing your name come out from his lips made you feel euphoric. This was the first time he called you by your name and you wanted to hear it more.
Inumaki moved closer to you with a lustful haze in his eyes. He was already breathless for finally having you this close to him.
You felt the same way, being under him made you feel like you belonged there. It all felt wrong, this wasn’t a normal day where you were feeling aroused. You were with Inumaki and he was groping your tits. You kept trying to think rationally but your mind kept telling you that this was all you needed.
Inumaki was everything you needed right now.
Inumaki stared down at you, studying every detail of your face while he balanced himself on his balled-up fist. Your eyes and your skin, your hair around your head in a halo.
His chest heaved as he struggled to handle the new sensations you were giving his body.
You stole a quick glance in his direction and squeaked in surprise when his smoldering eyes stared back. Frozen in his place, he did nothing but look down at you under him. He sighed, he was already a little tired from everything he had done today. He was also very drunk but here you both were.
Inumaki leaned in for another kiss, his hand still cupping your tit. This time, you kissed him back, realizing that you could move again. Instead of using it to your advantage to push him away, you pulled him closer.
His weight started to settle on top of you and only then you noticed something poking your groin. You broke the kiss and looked between your bodies to see him supporting an erection beneath the fabric of his pants.
Your mouth opened and you gasped.
Inumaki took the opportunity to snake his tongue down your throat once again. You started to acknowledge what he was doing. He was rocking his erection against your groin as he kissed you. Your eyes widened. You could feel everything .
Somehow that made you moan into the kiss. His cock was achingly, impossibly hard. You moved your hips to his clothed erection begging to be released.
Although none of you said anything, both of you were thinking the same thing.
I want you.
It took less than a second for him to take off his shirt and start to fiddle with his belt.
You unbuttoned your shirt before hiking your skirt up as he was hurriedly pulling his pants down. As soon as he managed to kick them off, he pulled your panties down with force.
The way he was acting so desperate to get inside you made your breath hitch.
Wrapping a hand around his cock, he looked down at you to embed this sight of you into his mind. Another thing he had never thought he would see.
He couldn’t wait any longer.
Inumaki lined himself on your entrance and snapped his hips forward. Both of you groaned for different reasons.
“Toge,” you whispered, hands reaching out to hold onto his shoulders. “Be gentle.”
He wasn’t listening. You only realized that he wasn’t listening when he pulled himself back and thrust inside your pussy mercilessly.
A moan left your lips.
His virgin cock was being squeezed by your gummy walls, there was slick blood dripping from your pussy to the couch which told him how you had been waiting for him just as he was waiting for you.
Good , he thought. I would’ve killed them if someone other than me took your innocence.
At this moment, Inumaki was happy to know that he was the only person who had been allowed to see you like this. An animalistic snarl rose up from the pit of his stomach and he started fucking you frantically into the couch.
The pain of your hymen being torn completely forgotten, you exhaled roughly, it was too much, his rough rhythm and his cock stretching you out... it made your body undeniably aroused.
You wanted more but his cock was already twitching, threatening to spill his load inside of you. He cursed internally, it was too soon. He wanted more, he wanted to treasure this moment more.
His hips slammed against yours with force, each thrust filled with desperation to hold out a little longer so he could feel your heat surrounding him.
Nevertheless, it was futile. He could never stop himself from cumming when he had been yearning to do this for so long.
Inumaki grabbed the back of your knees and pushed them down until he got you into a position where he could fuck you deeper. He still wasn’t done indulging in your pussy, not yet.
Each and every time he thrust up into you, you moaned out his name just the way he had thought you would in his fantasies.
His pace picked up speed, he was close. He wanted to tell you who you actually belonged to by being deep inside of your guts. He grabbed your hands that were trying to push him on his chest and placed them on his shoulders instead. He leaned in closer to you, giving you the chance to wrap your legs around his hips.
Now, you were shaking your hips, moving to meet his thrusts. Gradually his cock started painfully throbbing inside you when you clenched around him. You were unable to hold onto anything but him, you were moving with him on the couch with each thrust.
“Cum on my cock,” he growled, not realizing the actual power behind his words.
You could feel the toe-curling pressure of orgasm almost immediately. A gurgle forced its way up to your throat and your body started shaking again, submerged in waves of hot tremors as white pleasure building in your gut suddenly took over your senses.
Your mouth opened in a silent cry while your legs shook uncontrollably around Inumaki’s waist. Disgustingly sloppy sounds as he thrust inside of you were all you could hear. Your ears were burning while you tried desperately to hold onto something to not completely lose yourself.
Gummy walls clenching around his cock were now threatening to suck him dry. Inumaki could no longer resist your pussy, he snapped his hips forward until they were flush against yours one last time. The tip of his cock kissed your cervix thanks to his cock being buried deep inside you in this position.
Thick seed spurted out from his cock and spilled inside your fertile womb, the warmth was irresistible, you could only think about being filled with his seed.
Inumaki brushed your matted hair out of your face and leaned in for a kiss, still rocking his hips back and forth inside you. You sloppily kissed him back until he broke the kiss to admire the look on your face. You found yourself staring at the heavy droplets of sweat that had made his bangs stick clumpy on his forehead.
When he finally pulled out of you, no matter how small your couch was, Inumaki managed to cuddle with you.
As the two of you were catching your breaths you completely forgot about having to get up early tomorrow or how you were still half-dressed or how uncomfortable the couch actually was. All of those thoughts were pushed back to the furthest parts of your mind while you buried your face in Inumaki's chest, steadily noting to talk about safe words with him in the future.
