spencer reid x reader

ykow i’m not sure what this is. i kinda just started writing out of no where and this is what i got to. it’s meant to be like young spence and reader, mabye they’re at the academy together, mabye they’re roommates, childhood best friends? idk. not my usual writing style so lmk if you like this, i might write more depending on how this is received.

cw kissing, autistic!reader, autistic!spence, i don’t know if it’s obvious but i based the reader of how i act sometimes and whatnot and im autistic so.. , kinda unfinished

i’ll be properly back from my break and answer request soon i’m just struggling bad rn. love you all

“Hey, Spence?”

He looked away from his book towards you, his eyes widened slightly as he awaited your words. But nothing could have prepared him for what you said.

“Are you sexually attracted to me?” You asked, expression pretty much blank as if it was the most normal question in the world. Maybe to you it was. But to Spencer?

His eyes widened more as he heard your question, his face flushing. He gaped slightly, floundering for an answer to your very personal and out of the blue question. Well he could deny, but he hated lying to you. The truth was, he was attracted to you. Sexually and Romantically. He thought he had it under control and undetected by you, but apparently he was wrong.

He decided to lie.

“What? No!” He answered, his voice high pitched as he looked away from you.

You tilted your head at him, expression still blank and unreadable.

“You’re lying.” You said simply, furrowing your eyebrows slightly as you watched his blush deepen and his mouth gape.

“I’m- I’m not lying.” He lied, clenching his jaw and trying to maintain eye contact with you, but miserably failing.

“Yes you are. You’re blushing, and you’re averting your gaze and you’re bouncing your leg.” You continued, getting off the bed you were lying on and walking over to his bed.

Spencer's eyes widened as he looked up at where you were now towering over him. Something about the sight of you standing above him, and practically interrogating him, was seriously turning him on.

“Spencer…”

“..Yes?” He squeaked, looking off to the side.

“You have a boner.” You said.

His eyes widened as he looked down at his lap, his face somehow flushing darker as he saw the bulge there.

“You see Spencer, I think you are sexually attracted to me,” You started, “And I'm sexually attracted to you. So.. Where do you want to go from here?” You finished, looking down at the blushing boy in front of you.

Spencer's brain paused. You were sexually attracted to him too? And you wanted to… Do something about it? Holy shit.

“Spencer?” You asked.

“Yes..” He responded quickly.

“Tell me what you want.”

He paused for a second, thinking. What did he want? All he knew was that he wanted you. In any way he could have you.

“..You.” He answered earnestly, finally looking up at you.

A small smile graced your beautiful features.

“Can I sit on your lap?” You asked simply, tilting your head.

He could only nod, still slightly overwhelmed by the situation.

Sitting down on his lap, you look directly into his eyes, now finally properly face to face with him.

Slowly, you leaned in, pressing your lips very softly and tentatively against his.

He kissed you back quickly, your lips moulding together perfectly.

You leaned back after a few seconds, biting your lip lightly.

“That was.. nice..” You said, smiling slightly. He smiled back, nodding. It was nice. Your lips were so soft against his, and you tasted sweet.

“You taste sweet.” He responded. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly. Is that what you're supposed to say after kissing someone? He wasn’t sure. But you smiled.

“I just had some candy, so I think that makes sense.”

He nodded slightly before leaning in again, capturing your lips with his.

This time you pushed your tongue into his mouth slightly. The kiss was clumsy, but it became more passionate as you continued, your bodies pressing closer against each other as you kissed.

You broke apart from him to catch your breath.

“Are we making out?” You asked, eyes closed as you pressed your forehead against his.

“I think so. I’ve never made out with anyone before.” Spencer replied, panting lightly.

“Me neither.” You said before tilting your head lightly and pressing your lips against his again.

maybe könig with a super innocent/sweet reader? like he finds them adorable but also worries for their naive nature?

W *infantilization, stranger to reader sexual harassment mention, dubiously healthy relationship, nonsexual ddlg vibes kindaa, low-key violent/anger issues konig (to others: alcohol inspired defensive violence, threats, armlock) bf!König, unfinished, abrupt end, unsettling nonsexual purity infatuation, dying dove actually idk feels weird☝️

YESSSS GOOD IDEA This ones a lil messy i apologize i got brainrot, couldn't stop and couldn't remember anything xd there's so many more points i wanted to hit but now im just dizzy /j TYSM FOR THE AASKKKK <3 :DD

=======

♡︎. You always made him smile. A stupid crooked grin under his mask, eyes giddy with knowing, satisfied joy whenever you do something nice for him- which felt like a lot. You never seem to realize just how naturally, deeply your sincere actions hold meaning. Just how beautiful you are in every sense.

He always scans your face, and you're looking at him wondering why he's got that smug look whenever he takes the sight of you in after you do something that just comes naturally/doesn't seem like that big of a deal to you. Of course you'd do that for him..? You're literally perfect and you don't even know it. He can't quite verbalize the exact thought, so he eases your worries instead by stroking your hair, saying many thank-yous and asking about your day.

Or, when he can't quite take it and he jumps you with kisses everywhere and confident praise instead whilst you confusedly smile and wonder what you did to get all this all of a sudden, which just eggs him on harder.

Or hugging you from behind and dragging you back onto the bed or sofa to lay on him, squeezing your waist and giving a kiss to the side of your face with an exhausted sigh because you're too cute and it hurts.

♡︎. He's always a human barrier between you and the rest of the world when you go out. It's not like you're stupid, but restricted processing abilities can be a bitch, and he just always has a close eye out for you. Or if he doesn't, coz he's not a cop, he instinctively snaps to you at the first indication of something.

A general practiced distrust makes him sour, snarky and vigilant to stranger third parties. Blatantly putting himself between you and tricky guilt-trippy street/seller/creepy scams. His appearance and general passive-aggressively 'friendly' demeanour is usually enough to get them to fuck off, but shouting or even threatening people comes equally as natural.

Sometimes he gets into it a little too much, breathing heavier, stinking of drink as an anything but playful grin twitched at the corner of his lips, bumping chest to chest- well, more like chest to neck- of someone you didn't quite clock was sexually harassing you before. You know, despite the fucked up circumstances, he'd missed this. He thinks they'd be a more than deserving subject to alleviate some frustration. Come on, reap your reward. Just swing first so he wouldn't look as bad for immediately slamming and pinning their pathetic, unqualified self into the bar, muttering coldly in their ear new instructions. To obviously not fucking touch you, anyone for that matter, and- while we're at it, hey, why don't they do a little dance? No, he's not carrying anything, that's so silly. Just, does it feel good when he bends their arm back a little more the wrong way? Ah- he didn't think so.

When you drone back at him later, eyebrows furrowed in concern and confusion at the hostility to this random innocent person- he'd sigh deep in apology, sitting down to your level. His expression was sincere as he eased you into letting him hold your hands as he explained. He knew you were your own person, it was just… there was no way in hell that wasn't what it looked like.

♡︎. Fucking adores you. You are his queen/king. Almost subconsciously keeps you as close as possible. Naturally tends to end up with you in his lap, a casual arm over your middle even if he's using his computer or doing something else tricky. Brows furrowed in focus and you objectively making it harder, but stubborn and no doubt in his expression that that's where you should be.

Or when you're out, he always seems to be holding your hand, rubbing circles to keep the touch entertaining, distracting from the fact that he's trying to keep track of you as closely as possible. If you're sitting with acquaintances, or something like that, he'd encourage you onto his lap, even though it might seem a bit weird to onlookers.

In that same vein of protective-to-posessive pipeline of touch, he loves to carry you. Hugs around your waist; playfully, gently but firmly throwing you over his shoulder

♡︎. Sometimes scolds you and picks you up.

♡︎. Your selflessness is admirable and unfathomable for him. From habit he's not a big crier, but when he's had a long day or is a couple drinks in sometimes it's over you. You're just so cute. And perfect. His perfect, perfect thing. It kinda stresses him out that he needs to keep you well.

Perpetual soft spot for people like you. He decides to return the favour. Lacking the retrospective emotional intelligence to figure out why exactly, but has an instinctual allegiance/affection from other genuinely nice girls like from his otherwise difficult school days.

♡︎. You both get weird looks when you introduce each-other as your s/os, double-taking that the sweetest person in the world was on the arm of a cocky, blunt military vet and vice versa.

s3 thoughts in no specific order bc I'm trying to not start crying rn

- TYE INTIMACY WE'VE GOTTEN BETQEEN THEM AND THE LITTLE HUGS AND TOUCHES AND KISSES

despite everything that's still happening I'm so grateful for all of that because they've come so far from kissing in a dark hallway and at the very least they got to be a normal couple for little moments

- sara and her arc with her dad and I'm so glad we got more on their relationship but the way it fell apart was so heartbreaking??? and it did feel like it was coming but GOD did I feel for both of them

- erik!! and finally bc we as a fandom have known he was not perfect and he wasn't the best person, but for wille to realize that and because of something he went through as well was just so fucling painful, but I think really really needed, and I think it's one of my favorite arcs jist based off first watch

- felice addressing all the little microaggressions and sifderneces and struggles she goes through was SO important and I'm glad this season finally started talking about how kids outside of the status quo even in hillerska feel, and they did her character much better justice this time around

- august and nils were actually one of the most interesting parts of s3 and I liked how they handled their past with the initiation but also just august's character. he's still flawed as all fuck and a massive asshole but I did empathize w him, and him and boris's convo was rlly necessary to his character

- idk I feel like all of wilmon's conversations and attempts at communication have been very choppy and unfinished, and I'm really really hoping they do get a chance to have a sit down and talk things through, because there still so much they haven't figured out with each other

- omar and edvin's acting was on POINT thus season I genuinely am so emotional over how they portrayed the heartbreak and confusion their characters went through ;;;;;

- linda finally getting some fleshing out and we see a fuller picture of the eriksson's dynamic, and simon finally relying on them more and expressing some of his frustrations with always being the strong one like oh my god

- kristina and wille's final fight was probably one of the most interesting and heartbreaking, but I'm glad it happened and there were many points that wille needed to make. I'm praying they figure themselves out in episode 6 and talk things through. I do feel for kristina though and the parallel between her and wille dealing with how to deal with erik's presence is so heartbreaking

- some discussions about the monarchy and the system! honestly there was no way to develop that plotline fully given it's the last season and they still only have six episodes, but I am grateful for what we got

-for now just waiting for episode 6 (PLEASE let it be longer) and for everything to tie up before my final thoughts

#young royals #young royals season 3 #I cant handle saying goodbye to this show soon im sorry

a short messy unfinished benrietta uhhh thing that i wrote at night idk if there are many enjoyers. cw underage smoking!!

***

Bebe takes a deep drag on a cigarette, coughing and blinking away the tears in her eyes. Despite what she had said to Goth kids, she wasn’t actually really used to smoking, and now, with a bit of a shame, a delusional thought flashes in her head – Henrietta is probably laughing internally at Bebe's attempts to mimic their lifestyle. Nevertheless, Stevens quickly gets rid of it, angrily shaking her head.

She feels disgusted to realize that the desire to please and satisfy everyone around her is put so deeply into the subcortex of her brain that she can’t let herself relax even now, in the passenger seat of Mrs. Biggle's old car, in the very suburbs of South Park — in the place where no one could even see her. Except Henrietta, of course. But Bebe mercilessly cuts off this thought, because she wouldn’t try so hard to look good just for Henrietta – she is almost sure of that.

She takes a drag on a bitter menthol cigarette, holding the smoke in her lungs for a couple of seconds. Then she blows the smoke, imagining all of her obsessive thoughts and troubles coming out of her body as well. Her head feels pleasantly empty, and she giggles, leaning back in the seat and lazily looking around the neighborhood through the mud-stained broken car window.

Shithole. South Park was just a one huge shithole, a cage in which she lived all her life, and from which she desperately wanted to be free. What exactly she meant by "freedom", Bebe wasn’t really able to explain, so she usually stuck to safe "Denver" — that’s where she wanted to move after finishing high school.

Bebe chuckles and shares out loud her ideas about moving out of their town. To her surprise, Henrietta's hoarse voice sounds completely uninspired, even bored:

“Denver is just the same dump. I don't want to move, it's conformist”.

Bebe frowns, raises herself on her elbows and carefully examines the serene expression of her friend's face. She is leaning back in the driver's seat, with her eyes closed and a lit cigarette between her fingers.

Bebe squints, noticing the mascara that has carelessly smeared in the corners of Henrietta's eyes, and suppresses the desire to move closer and fix her makeup. Instead, she follows Henrietta’s example and closes her eyes, accidentally poking a cigarette into her cheek and squealing shortly in surprise.

"You shouldn't move either, by the way. You'll go wild as soon as you get out of of your parents’ control, and then you'll just hate yourself. That’s how it happens to girls like you," Henrietta says disinterestedly.

Bebe listens to her voice, monotonous, hoarse from smoking, and does not know if she even should be offended by the harsh words if they are said in such an incredibly beautiful voice. For some reason, her heart is speeding up its pace, and she can only hope that it's out of anger.

“Well, maybe I need to go wild? It's not easy to always be perfect, you know!” Bebe replies, wrinkling her nose capriciously.

“And who told you you’re perfect?” Henrietta asks, raising her eyebrows slightly in surprise, as if she did not expect such words from herself.

Bebe gasps with indignation, and makes an attempt to defend herself:

“Well, everyone knows that”.

And indeed. A constant. A strange hierarchy among the girls in the second grade put Bebe to the other "popular" girls – Bebe doesn’t remember exactly why, though. Maybe because she had the most beautiful pink bows in the whole class, or maybe because she was pretty confident while talking to the boys, or some similar stupid childish reason. Back then, in elementary school, everything was much simpler, and Bebe didn't even have to try to be liked by people – everything was already decided for her by her cute blonde curls, which all the boys in the class were crazy about.

Now she wastes hours of her life on skin care, good (but not perfect, so as not to become a “nerd”) grades and shopping with girlfriends.

She didn't know what would happen if she did go down the social ladder at school, but she preferred not to think about it too much. Several times she was already close to it, but quickly redeemed her reputation every time.

Now she felt like she was walking on the edge, looking into the abyss at the very bottom of the hierarchy they had invented, balancing dangerously. For example, because now, instead of having fun at Wendy's birthday party, she is sitting with Henrietta in an ancient car in the poorest neighbourhood of their town and smoking the third cigarette.

Bebe thinks for a second where Henrietta would be on this so called social ladder, and then realises that she probably doesn't fit into this system at all, standing somewhere aside alone and muttering something about pathetic conformists. She feels a sharp pang of envy in her heart. She wished she could just not care about her social status too.

Henrietta's voice pulls her out of the abyss of her thoughts – Bebe has clearly been thinking too much lately – and Stevens is surprised to notice in it emotions that she could not read yet. So far, she couldn't read Henrietta at all.

“Well, I don't argue with the fact that you are beautiful and convenient, but perfect?” Henrietta winces expressively, and Bebe suddenly feels as if she's been punched in the gut.

“If you’re just gonna insult me for no reason, I’m leaving,” Bebe warns, frowning. She can’t help but feel offended, even though she has no idea why she wants to be liked by Henrietta so bad.

“Those are not insults, they’re facts. Grass is green, sky is blue, and you are deeply unhappy because you try to fit into society’s standards”. Henrietta shrugs casually, as if she didn’t just destroy Bebe’s understanding of her own life.

“At least I’m accepted into society and people don’t call me a fucking freak and weirdo!” Bebe murmurs angrily.

“Was that supposed to be offensive?” Henrietta chuckles, inhaling smoke again.

SPIDER-SONA TIME!!

[Image Description: two digital drawings of void-crawler (my spider-sona). the character is drawn five different times throughout the whole canvas. on the top left corner, void-crawler is unmasked, smiling and doing a peace sign. there are two white text boxes representing void’s internal thoughts that read “gotta love hammerspace. how else would my hair fit otherwise?*”. underneath there’s a turquoise text box that reads “*editor’s note: it would not.” in the middle left side of the canvas, void-crawler is shown with a surprised expression and the spidey sense lines. there’s a white bubble text that reads “omg i have squiggly lines!!”. near that drawing, there’s a smaller one with a chibi head of void doing a salute with a turquoise bubble text with a white center reading “of course, officer!”. an arrow points to text saying “talking with hero voice (a.k.a. deeper)”. on the bottom left corner, there’s an unfinished but colored drawing of void-crawler drinking a milkshake with half their mask off and with little hearts on the side. there’s an arrow pointing at the drawing accompanied by text that reads “pretend this is okay [heart emoticon] and finished…” on the right side of the canvas, there’s a full-body drawing of void-crawler. void has a hand near the face in a thinking manner and the other near the hip. to the right, there’s a written text that says “void-crawler!” in all caps. the background is a yellow note-taking paper texture. the second image shows the front and back design with some mannequin models as template. background is white. /end ID]

more info below:

alright guys, let’s do this one last time. my name is mars walker. i was bitten by a radioactive spider. and for the last 2 years, i’ve been the one and only void-crawler. i’m pretty sure y’all know the rest. i saved a bunch of people. got spider-man to be my mentor. did a couple of team-ups with him and deadpool. i saved the city but i… couldn’t save peter. i stopped fighting for a while. changed my suit and hero name. and now i’m back, stronger than ever, wahoo! because no matter how hard life gets, i always find a way to come back and save the city. cuz who else will if not me?

amazing intro proving i’m a hero… check!

whole backstory explained… on hold

hi! finally posted this, i made it like a week ago. anyway, i think i would have some extra powers, as a treat.

first of all, enhanced spidey sense. i don’t only perceive near danger but FUTURE danger as well. basically i get visions, premonitions, prophecies, whatever you wanna call them. they are always about danger and there IS a way to change them. i dont know how that would work with time and space continuum and all those complicated things, but who wants logic, boring!! (i’ll solve the plot hole soon, dw 😭🛐) (if any of y’all have any idea how to solve it, pls tell me)

i would be able to break the 4th wall cuz i constantly do irl anyway,, sometimes life follows a specific storytelling pattern and has very notorious plot armor and that makes me think “huh… weird”

i would also have sensitive senses, and that includes night vision! (i already have sensitive hearing irl and it’s a nightmare! good luck void-crawler). i could also “change” my appearance? i would not physically change it, but i would release some kind of chemicals or stuff that would make people see other thing. this is inspired by the ant mimicry spiders do. spiders DO change physically, but i think mine would be just psychologically. idk, i thought that would be cool :P

the design of my spidey suit is inspired by, spidey of course, but also by deadpool’s suit. cuz i’m obsessed with both of them atm, so had to add that to my story 👍 AND IT WILL MAKE SENSE STORY WISE MUAHAHAHA! cant wait to tell y’all the backstory.

yk that thing miles and gwen do when talking to their dad while in the spidey suit (deeper voice)? well i would do that all the time i’m talking with people that are not aware void-crawler is mars walker. and my bubble text would show that by being mostly turquoise with a bit of white in the center :3

good stuff : s.g / m.s

It has been a while since you saw Steven and Marc, knowing they had unfinished business with Harrow. But the longer they’ve been gone, the more you worry they won’t return. (1.4k)

some mentions of violence, kinda fluff, kinda angst idk

masterlist // taglist // requests are open :)

Sitting in the flat, your eyes wandered from the pages in front of you to the lonely goldfish swimming around in his tank. “I know, Gus.” You sigh, closing the book and leaving it on the small coffee table, piling it on top of the various books you’ve been reading in a feeble attempt to keep your mind occupied.

It has been a week since you last saw Steven, and well Marc in turn.

Marc barely told you anything, knowing you’d only worry and rightfully so. He kept Steven at bay, despite his protests when wanting to at least say goodbye, knowing more about what this would entail and that they might not return.

“Come on, Marc. Let me say goodbye to her, at least.” Steven pleads, brows deeply furrowed at the sight of your confused expression.

“So you’re going somewhere, and won’t even let me know where or when you’ll be back?” You question, crossing your arms in annoyance and rightfully so.

You’d known about Marc as long as Steven had, and though it hasn’t been an easy transition in your relationship, you were learning to embrace it as Steven was. Yet, despite this, Marc was still secretive about certain aspects, including his missions with Khonshu.

Marc huffs loudly, turning his back on you and facing Steven in his reflection. “It’s for your own good.” He states to both of you. “I’ll be back soon, just keep Gus alive.”

Without another word or chance for you to see Steven, Marc picks up his bags and places the spare key in your palm. He closes your fingers over it and squeezes lightly before walking out, leaving you alone with a whirlwind of thoughts.

Since that day, you stayed at their flat. Initially, you told yourself it was for Gus’ sake, he was always used to the company and didn’t want him to go without. However, as days turned to nights you realised you just wanted to see them come home safe and more importantly, alive.

Flicking through channels on the small TV, you could barely focus as the moonlight blared through the old windows. “Fuck you, Khonshu.” You mutter, curling up into the arm of the sofa, closing your eyes and imagine it was Steven holding you in his warm embrace, or even Marc on a softer occasion.

A loud scream causes you to stir from your attempt at sleep. You reach for the nearest object, which happens to be a hardback book and hold it up to your chest for defence. "Okay," Muttering to yourself you try to control how fast your heart is beating from the abrupt awakening.

Another noise sounds, yet it isn't a scream from the streets below. Instead, it is coming from outside of the flat.

"Shit." Lowering the book momentarily, you scan the sofa for your phone, hoping that Marc and Steven, wherever they are still have their phones at least.

With shaky hands, you try to type out a message, unsure of what good it'll do. 'someone's here.' Is all you manage to type before sending the message when footsteps approach the front door, that awful creaking floorboard that sits outside of the flat causes your ears to perk in fear.

The doorknob continues to rattle, causing your fear to spike as you desperately search for a potential weapon. “Fuck.” You whisper, tears now forming in your eyes whilst you scramble around toward the kitchen for a knife.

Quickly grabbing one, you freeze at the sound of the lock clicking.

A tear falls from one of your eyes as those hinges creak for a second before slamming open against the doorframe. A series of books fall to the ground, muffling your gasp as you cover your mouth, trying to hide in the corner of the kitchen.

Entering the flat, three men with hoods stand in the doorway. Each of them eyeing the contents, you hear them muttering to one another.

“Search everything.” One speaks up, the other two nodding in agreement as they step further into the flat and begin to pull books from the shelves, bedding from the mattress and inching toward your hiding spot.

With your eyes remaining tightly shut, each ruckus causes you to flinch. 'Please ignore me.' Mentally you repeat the sentence, hoping you're the least of their priorities as they ransack the place.

Then it goes quiet.

Too quiet.

"What do we 'ave here?" One of them pipes up, the other two standing beside with sinister smirks as they spot you quivering, eyes still closed, wishing for it to all be a nightmare.

Stepping toward you, the leader of the trio kneels in front of you. His fingers glide across your cheek, hearing you whimper in fear as you apprehensively open your eyes.

"Hi, beautiful." He chuckles, quickly noticing the knife in your grip, almost useless. "Now, we don't wanna cause any harm here, do we boys?" Looking over his shoulder, the others shake their heads teasingly. "We are looking for Marc Spector," The man leans closer, brushing your hair from your ears and whispers. "know where he is, sweetheart?"

You can't help but shudder as his breath fans your neck, hating how defenceless you feel. "No." You answer.

The man rises to his feet with a sharp breath. "Sadly sweetheart, that isn't the correct answer."

Before you can even glance upwards, a foot plummets into your ribs, causing you to keel over into a fetal position. "You fucker!" You cry out, the knife you once held discarded beside you.

"Now, wanna try that again?" Another steps forward, cracking his fists in eagerness.

"I don't know where he is." Again, answering truthfully.

Bringing your knees closer to your chest, you force yourself upright, leaning against the kitchen cabinets. "He wouldn't tell me shit, so good luck with whatever you're trying here." You laugh weakly, the pain from your ribs increasing by the second.

The leader merely hums. "You're his woman though."

"His woman?" You remark, scoffing. "What decade are you in dude?"

That comment lands you a punch in the face, a searing pain you struggle to comprehend. Silence ensues from you whilst they converse, unaware of your eyes drooping or the sound of the floorboards outside creaking.

"Come on, come on, Y/n." A hand gentle taps your cheek, a voice you know and seek comfort in. "I know you're in there, come on, please." He mutters, bringing you into his lap.

Uneasily, you begin to open your eyes. "Marc?" You mumble, groggy from the dull pain in your face and ribs as you shift, only to be shushed in response.

"I wouldn't move, love." Steven comments, his soft smile easing your discomfort. "And I wouldn't look around either, someone got carried away."

"I didn't get carried away." Marc rolls his eyes. "Someone else did."

Furrowing your brows in confusion, Marc helps bring you closer into his chest, keeping your back turned to the three lifeless bodies strawn the flat. "I'll explain everything, I promise." Marc tells you softly, his hand still palmed on your cheek, feeling your tears coated with dried blood.

"We're really sorry, Y/n." Steven tells you, tears brimming in his eyes at the sight of you all bloodied up. "Marc knows now, he, he should've explained everything." He stumbles over his words, feeling the lump in his throat rising further up.

Lifting your hand up weakly, you rest it on his cheek with a gentle smile. "I know," You mutter. "he's got a lot of explaining to do." A weak laugh passes through your lips, easing Steven's pained expression. "Thank you though."

"You're our girl, doll." Marc regards with a light shrug, his hand now resting on your waist lightly, not wanting to risk hurting you. "It's what we do for the girl we love." He admits, unable to stop the words from falling.

Feeling Marc tense up, you lean back in his embrace. "You falling for me, Spector?" You tease knowingly, and before he can respond, you lean closer to his lips. "'Cause I might be falling for you too."

Internally, Steven is clapping his hands in excitement whilst Marc mentally freezes, leaving Jake to front momentarily.

"He's happy to know, mi amor." Jake chuckles, watching you tilt back in pure bewilderment. "Allow me to introduce myself, the creator of that mess, Jake Lockley, Princessa."

20 questions for fic writers

Thanks for tagging me @alleycat0306!

1.How many works do you have on ao3?

53 revealed and 4 hidden fics. (I've also deleted several.)

2. What's your total ao3 word count?

387,408 words. Most of my works are fairly short.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I've written for a few. I was active in drarry for years. My most recent non-drarry ones were wangxian (MDZS/CQL).

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

(all drarry)

dirtynumbangelboy

The Miseducation of Draco Malfoy

The Full Monty

Through the Looking Glass and What Draco Found There

Kiss on cheek: one galleon

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do, except that on multichapter fics I only respond to the final chapter comments. I love and cherish each comment, though, and they make me more happy than I can express.

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

The Death You Carry. It's an MCD terminal illness fic.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of my fics end happily. The most happy... Well, DNAB I've mentioned above, I think that ends pretty happily, but I'd add The Unquiet Grave too, because the drarry relationship in it is very joyful (imo).

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've never got hate. The worst has been some entitled comments, or a bit rude and thoughtless. A recent one was like that. Occasionally, one or two people mentioned something they didn't like or understand in my story and that led to interesting discussions.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do! Idk what kind, the er...normal one?

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

No crossovers, no, though I've written a fic with a strong Captive Prince vibe (and some Easter eggs for CaPri readers) and a fic inspired by wangxian. So, MDZS Easter eggs there too.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Once someone screenshot dirtynumbangelboy and posted it on instagram, in groups of 10 pics. Does that count?

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

A few.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. Me and @bixgirl1 sort of talked about it back in the day, but I'm so idiosyncratic I'd be a terrible co-writer. I can't imagine doing it with anyone other than Bix, tbh.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

All time favourite is wangxian. I know it's a fairly recent ship for me, but they've hooked me deep.

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I started a post-Hogwarts/kinda Eighth Year drarry fic a few years ago. I still have a vivid impression of the fic's world and the intensity I was going for, but no idea of the plot (typical) and, for a few other reasons, I'll never finish it. It's a shame because I meant it as a gift to a very dear fandom pal.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Mood, atmosphere, my prose and my turns of phrase tend to be what readers comment on. I've written a few fics people thought were funny. I like my dialogue a lot.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Plot usually. I think, the end result perhaps doesn't read as bad as I make it, but plot can stall me for AGES. It doesn't come naturally to me, at all.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Love it.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Pynch from The Raven Cycle.

20. Favourite fic you've written?

Probably 9 ½ Days (drarry)) ; it starts like this (pynch) ; and the unfinished secret desires (wangxian). Oh and the HP but non-drarry Black sisters fairytale The Glass Hearts. really love this last one.

Tagging everyone who wants to do this! <33

Games ∥ P. Mitchell

Top Gun: Maverick

Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell x Reader

Word Count: 1.6k

This fic is inspired by this recurring thought

Author note: There will probably be a part two to this fic with a smutty handcuff scene lol Idk if the reader should be handcuffed or have a sub-Maverick moment

_____________

Mondays, are the most irritating and stressful day of the week simply because the fresh start meant unfinished work from last week, constant tiredness, and a general feeling of any small inconvenience, annoying you to the point of crying into your coffee. Well, this particular Monday wasn’t pleasant for one naval Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.

0530 Monday....

The crew was having a bit of a late start, considering they didn’t think of the consequences of last night’s drinking. This fact was unbeknownst to their Captain, considering he has been waiting ten minutes for them to show up. Maverick’s boredom grew with the passing minutes, checking his watch ‘12 minutes late’ he looked around to see any sight of the team, letting out a sigh while reaching for his phone already swiping to ‘AIRFIGHTERS: plane simulator’ He figured if he was going to wait he might as well do a warm-up flight.

Maverick was at peace, engrossed in the little plane soaring across his screen, that he didn’t realize how his bliss was about to be trampled on by his very own aviators.

–

They were late and they knew it, they were just praying that Maverick was in an overly great mood on this dismal Monday, that or hopefully they could think of a way out of their nearing punishment. This is why Payback pitched the awful idea of just sneaking into the hanger and blaming Maverick’s age for not seeing them, Phoenix simply rolled her eyes at the unthought-out planned and walked into the hanger with Coyote, and Bob tailing behind her.

As the pilots stood waiting for their captain to acknowledge their presence and serve them their punishment, it took them a moment to realize that Maverick wasn’t going to acknowledge them anytime soon, considering he was engrossed with whatever was on his phone, that's when the faint sounds of gunfire and a missile lock alarm filtered through the hanger. At that Y/N leaned forward shooting Rooster a look while whisper yelling “Go over there and look” Rooster’s previously blank face contoured into a confused expression, matching her volume “ why me??? Send Payback, he’s literally the reason why we are late” Payback was about to give Rooster a piece of his mind when Hangman and Phoenix pushed him towards Maverick’s form with a simple “go”

Payback grumbled towards his teammates until Maverick’s phone came into his view just as Maverick maneuvered his plane with a sharp right to avoid a missile. The irritated look on Payback’s face morphed into one of confusion until it clicked “MAVERICK ARE YOU PLAYING A PLANE SIMULATOR GAME!..... Oh my god” and just like that Maverick’s peace was shattered by the hysterical laughs of his students. Rooster was the first to speak “I guess we figured out what Maverick’s retirement plan looks like”

Maverick’s eyes already started to roll but focused as Y/N sent Rooster a sharp look “Aren’t you the one, that’s on level 3400 or something in candy crush” Rooster’s laughter stopped and took a defensive stance to his female counterpart “ Your point? That’s completely different and has nothing to do with this conversation”

“Uh huh whatever you say, honey”

“The Man, the legend Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell astounding pilot of AirFighter Plane Simulator” Everyone fell to silence and shifted their gaze towards Seresin as soon as the words left his mouth. “How did you know it was AirFighter Plane Simulator? That’s oddly specific” Y/N voice filled the silence as Hangman shifted from side to side until settling “I.. I didn’t just a lucky guess y’know” finishing it off with his signature smirk..

Maverick cleared his throat to gather the attention of the pilots and put his hand up when Coyote went to interrogate Hangman further “Up in the air in 10, Afterwards 5 crunches for every minute you were late…. Looks like it’s about sixty crunches.. And 200 pushups ” Payback was about to put his previously pitched idea into action when Hangman elbowed him to shut him up.

The day carried on, as well as the teasing, Maverick just hoped it would quit so he could have some peace at the Hard Deck….. That hope died when Rooster and Hangman challenged Maverick to a virtual dog fight. After waving them off…well ignoring them, he felt the presence of someone filling the spot next to him. It's Y/N gracing him with a soft smile “Alright get it out” she responded with a raised brow to his vague conversation starter, waiting for him to further explain “The jokes you are going to make at the expense of my plane game. Might as well get it out of your system” The sound of Y/N’s giggle filtered through the air around them “For your information, I didn’t come to make jokes at the expense of your plane simulator, I actually think it's quite adorable.. Plus I already knew about it”

“w-when? And I thought you said you weren’t going to make jokes at the expense of my game?

“I have known about it for months now, and I’m being serious, I honestly think it's utterly adorable, It’s like heart eyes and all”

Maverick shoots Y/N a suspicious look until slowly nodding his head at her “How did you find out about it?” Y/N rolled her eyes at him until looking around the Hard Deck for prying eyes or eavesdroppers “Ohh y’know I was simply minding my own business, sleeping when you woke me up at 3 am with the missile lock alarm going off. Plus you kinda move your body in the direction of the plane, as if you are in said plane…. Like I said before it’s adorable” Maverick slapped his left hand to his forehead while letting out a sigh, looking up at Y/N and mutters “never repeat that to anyone, especially them” taking his eyes off of her, to spare a look over at the rest of the team.

After not receiving a verbal response, Maverick turned his gaze back to Y/N just as her pouty lips morphed into a mischievous grin, He knows that look all too well he can see the gears turning as she starts to open her mouth to respond, a finger is pointed in front of her face with a series of ‘No’s “Y/N whatever you are thinking, stop now” Maverick was already tired of his students giving him a hard time and didn’t need her giving them more ammunition against him “ but … fine how about we make a deal…”

Maverick hates to say this but he already knows what she is going to say.. Well, at least certain factors that are involved, whenever Y/N wanted to make a deal for her silence it usually ended with his back hurting and Y/N not walking right afterwards for a few days, but for whatever reason he decides to indulge her “what kind of deal?” seeing as Maverick is playing along with her little game, the smile widens as she leans forward, barely an inch away from him “Well y’know I’ve been wanting to try out those handcuffs… plus I’m pretty sure we still have whipped cream in the fridge….” Maverick simply nods agreeing with the deal “who’s going to be handcuffed? You or me” Downing the last of her drink, Y/N stood up and shrugged on her jacket, giving him a pointed look “We can play rock, paper, scissors” Maverick mimicked Y/N’s previous actions and huffed out a “ What are we five?”

“Physically? No, Mentally? Yes”

At that Y/N shrugged her shoulders, making her way out the front door of the Hard Deck with Maverick beside her, the parking lot was silent except for the distant waves, which was a stark contrast to the loud, lively bar.

The silence was interrupted by Maverick pushing Y/N up against her car door, the metal let out a dull hiss into the night’s sky. He didn’t move, his hands were stilled on her hips and waited for her next move with bated breaths, until she leaned forward to press a quick kiss on his lips before pulling back, leaving him to chase after her lips.

“Y'know Pete, I thought of a way we could figure out who’s getting cuf..” her sentence being muffled by his mouth covering hers, Y/N couldn’t keep the moan from slipping past her lips giving Maverick’s tongue easy access to hers. Y/N thought about breaking the kiss to pitch her idea but she figured this would give Maverick a little incentive to hear her proposal out. Y/N pulled away to catch her breath, but that didn’t stop the captain from leaving opened mouth kisses down the column of her throat, all while hiking one of her legs up around his waist “what are you planning, to fuck me in the Hard Deck’s parking lot, Pete?” after leaving a considerable size bruise on Y/N’s collar bone, Maverick pulled away to inspect his handiwork “Y’know Sweetheart, you are just full of great ideas tonight” before Maverick could return to his previous position, Y/N puts a hand to his chest lightly pushing him back “Pete, even though the idea gravel digging into my knees is so romantic, I have a better idea. Last one to the house, gets cuffed and does whatever the other person wants”

“Anything? Even the hip thing?”

“Yes Pete, even the hip thing, deal?”

“Deal” and with that Maverick pulled her in for a bruising kiss before taking off and running to his motorcycle before Y/N could even register what was happening, the sound of Maverick’s bike roaring to life was the only thing snapping her back to reality.

“THAT’S FUCKING CHEATING MITCHELLS, NO SPEEDING… God I hate you”

“Of course baby, I would never do that.. Love yoou too”

Thanks for reading :p

watched spirit: untamed today. if you're a fan of spirit: stallion of the cimarron and you're not deadset on forcing yourself to watch every single dreamworks movie then please don't waste your time on this one. if you're ever taking care of a 4-6 year old kid who's never seen the original and feels like watching a cute horse girl movie... consider showing them one of the many, many out there that are less generic, pointless and poorly made than this one :(

look, i knew going into this movie that i was probably not going to like it much to begin with because i'd heard so much about how it went against the themes of the original. but i thought maybe it would still have something beautiful and unique to say, and be a decent kids movie if you tried to treat it as its own thing. well it doesn't and it's not.

as a sequel to spirit: stallion of the cimarron, this movie is weird because the original is about the devastating effects that colonization had on both animals and indigenous people and how they all have a right to be free. spirit doesn't even have a name for 98% of the movie until little creek, upon realizing that nobody should ever ride this horse because it's not what he wants, names him "spirit who could not be broken". and then spirit untamed is about a white city girl who tames a horse and makes him her bestie, and who decides to call him spirit before she's ever even interacted with him because she sees him resisting some wranglers and says he has "a lot of spirit". granted, she does (very randomly and suddenly imo) let him leave to be with his herd in the end, but still, it's just... this new movie, and the netflix show that came with it, is trying to take the name and brand of something that is so insanely different from it. it's filled with visual references to the original, in things like the framing of certain shots and some of the backgrounds, but that and the name of the horse are the only things it shares with it. it has none of the uniqueness or heart.

and as its own standalone movie, this movie just does absolutely nothing to make itself stand out. it's an hour and 20 minutes long but it was so agonizingly tedious and predictable that it felt like a 3 hour movie at least. the animation is so choppy and the art so flat that the whole thing feels cheap and unfinished. the horses in the original are all incredibly expressive and have strong personalities despite the fact that outside of matt damon occasionally narrating for spirit, they don't speak. the same doesn't hold true for the horses here. the human characters are also so painfully boring and simplistic that i already don't even remember the villain's name. i feel like a hundred different variations of this same movie already exist: headstrong young girl loves horses, dad hates horses and forbids her from hanging out with them, girl does it anyway, dad comes around in the end. i would rather watch shark tale than this because at least it's an attempt at an original story.

i've also read that this movie is basically a condensed retelling of the first few episodes of the netflix series "spirit riding free", only this was released in theaters and also retcons aspects of the show?? why??? literally who is this movie for??? i mean, idk, i guess a really young kid who's never seen the original movie or any other Horse Girl movie might enjoy it, but i very much think those kids deserve better than this. bleh. i don't think i ever wrote a post about how much i adore how to train your dragon after i recently rewatched the first two movies, so i will try to do that soon to balance out all the complaining i'm doing here 😭

Hi, English is not my first language so I don’t know if this will be well written.

I have been reading slwy since 2022 and I am so in love with it I can’t let it go. My friends tell me that I shouldn’t read unfinished work because then I’m waiting like crazy for the next chapter but for slwy it’s worth it.

I love the way you write, it’s so beautiful. The feelings, ambience, angst, love, the setting. It is so breathtaking. I have never sent an ask because I’m really shy but weirdly I got the urge to express how amazed I am at your work and how it makes me feel.

I dreamt about you updating because I was ranting about the story to my friend and weirdly enough you updated that day 4 am and I read it as soon as I saw.

I really love how you portray the characters and I love re-reading the story because I find little details that I missed the first time because I was so anxious to know what happened.

Happy 2024, I hope I get more nerve and really can express how your writing has truly made me feel. Maybe an analysis or rant on something that had me screaming or crying. Thank you for your hard work (I hope it’s not weird) but I appreciate the time you take to write and portray such an amazing story. Truly an artist,

Don’t know how to end this so…

Thank you and hope you have an amazing year 🎉🎉

Idk what emojis are taken for the anons but maybe I can be one? Idk which but yeah…

first of all, this is really well written so you shouldn’t worry AT ALL.

thank you for staying with me since 2022, and you don’t have to feel shy with me at all cutie 🥺 cause wellx firstly its anonymous anyway haha and secondly !! i live for these messages. you could send me your unhinged thoughts and i’d still love it.

thank you for loving the story ambience ! that’s one of my fav parts to work on. and that’s crazy that you dreamed and manifested it into existence basically.

i love that you reread haha since i put in a lot of foreshadowing and hints for everything, so it’s satisfying. i’d love an analysis/rant/anything you want. even you taking out time from your day to type this out in my inbox is such a joy. happy new year to you !

the taken anon emojis are linked in my masterlist, you can pick any cute one remaining and let me know 🥺

#star lost with you

Okay, I've watched the first episode of volume 7. This isn't a review or anything, but I'm just gonna put my general thoughts below the keep reading. Spoilers obviously and also RWBY criticism up ahead

So I think I'm gonna give this episode a 3 out of 10 ranking. It's... Worse than I had hoped, but it wasn't a complete flop and there's some stuff that I did like, so let's get into it.

Praise:

Ruby's voice acting is for the most part good. Her voice actor doesn't do so well on the gasping and crying, but as for the rest of it, I find it much improved and enjoy that Ruby is starting to sound a bit more mature, and more subdued. Her squeaky voice gets to be a little much, so I was pleasantly surprised at her performance.

In times of quiet, Little is cute. Some of how they're animated is charming, like when they sniffed at Ruby's hand or moved their little paws over their face. Of course Little looks the cutest when they're on four legs or are all curled up. But it really seems like the animators tried their best to make Little look as good as they could manage and it paid off. They're not Reepicheep from the Prince Caspian movie quality, but they get the job done.

I like that they had Ruby not ask Little about Weiss, because Ruby doesn't know yet that Weiss fell too.

I could be wrong, but I think this is the first time that a weapon that wasn't Ruby's was actually named in show. It's about ten years too late to make 'the weapons have names' a convincing part of the world of RWBY, but at least it's here at all, we now have a weapon other than Crescent Rose that fans might know the name of without doing online homework.

"Blake... I'm really glad you're okay." "...I'm really glad you are too." Am I so starved for closeness between these characters that I saw that and I was like "Monochrome? Monochrome in 2023? Do I ship post-volume-five-Blake with post-volume-five-Weiss?" Um, Blake's expression is so cute??

There might not be a lot that the animators can do to save that hair, but they're doing their darnedest with her facial expressions and it paid off.

I also kind of like Weiss shutting down stuff and trying to be more action focused instead of breaking down about everything, it seems like a good way to characterize her.

The voice of the new creeper Jabberwocky is good! It was so well done, super striking, it reminded me of the Cyclops in Epic the Musical the Concept Album which is a good thing. A very good job there.

Yang's voice acting is also good so far (though I dislike BDunks so it pains me to admit it.) The delivery of her 'dammit, you weren't supposed to be here' was well done and made me feel for Yang emotionally.

Blake coming up with plans and being a bit more optimistic - while not what I would choose for her character - is in line with the past couple of volumes and could be a good thing, and at this point is the best direction I think they could take with her character after how they've done her lately.

Criticism

First things first: Do you guys remember how I said that the first look we got awhile ago was jerky and seemed really off and Ruby's facial expressions were really lacking in much emotion, but that since it was a 'first look' it was likely an unfinished product and so I didn't wanna judge the finished product on it and said 'maybe it will change and get better?' ...Whelp it didn't. The first like seven minutes of this fifteen minute episode is all just the stuff from the first look.

So just to reiterate, I don't like first person POV stuff. I just think it never manages to look good and RWBY is no exception. They did their best with the combat I think, but idk, to me it just felt clunky and it looked bad. And Ruby's reaction to seemingly dying after her sister died, along with her friend Blake, and getting attacked midair by Neo, and then waking up on an island with giant shells is this

No grabbing her scroll to see if she can call anyone, no verbally calling for Blake or Yang, no immediate panicking or immediate reaction outside of :/ Okay. And her reaction to getting squawked at by a giant multicolored bird is

And look I know people are gonna be like "she's a trained huntress, you think she's gonna react to the presence of a bird?" And it's like... yes, actually, because as a trained fighter who fights giant birds, don't you think she should've jerked and reached for her (not there) weapon when there was squawking in her ear? And either way, most people even trained soldiers would at least glance at the thing suddenly making loud noises at them. And then Ruby goes from non-reaction to comedic grumbling as she finds herself in a loop, and then straight to tears, which is... Kind of hard to take seriously because of how things have been framed so far. It doesn't feel like Ruby is close to snapping and trying not to breakdown when she's crying, because she looked pretty emotionless three seconds ago and it comes right after a comedy bit about how a mouse watches Ruby struggle with a loop. And there's also zero urgency involved. Ruby felt more panicked in the scene in Volume 2 when Penny was pulling her away from guards during a time of peace. Ruby felt more sad and desperate when Weiss was being mean because Ruby was made a leader in volume 1, and when she was sad that Blake wasn't coming to the prom.

Also, I'm gonna point out that while I really like the fact that Ruby stopped her crying to help a mouse and it kind of cheered her up a little bit, I kind of think it throws off the messages of kindness that it's immediately followed by "if only you could help me." I don't think it doesn't make sense from a character point of view because she doesn't even know the mouse talks. But if the point of that is for us to see that Ruby is kind and selfless and goes out of her way to help with no expectations or strings attached, I think that the writers could've not had it followed up with Ruby expressing the desire for a return on her kindness. I think they could've easily had Little just be like 'Thanks!' and then offer to help her escape the loop or something. I just don't get that line, from a writing point of view.

I also think Little's voice and Little themself is annoying, which I've already gotten into, so I don't need to say it again. But the 'Little and the mice have identities based on 'what they do' and only then do they know who they are or even get names is... I'm gonna give it the benefit of the doubt that it won't be used to hammer in themes of identity and Ruby's role and job as a Huntress, you know, past this early already hammering it in, but... Yeah, let's hope from here on in, it isn't emphasized too much. Let's go for a little bit of subtlety.

Also please compare the scene with Little and Ruby to the movie Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe when Lucy meets Tumnas

youtube

You'll notice that Mr. Tumnas reacts to Lucy with every bit of confusion that she reacts to him, because he's never seen a human before the same way that she's never seen a faun. Little just acts like there's nothing weird at all about this thing that she's never once seen before, until Ruby starts screaming because Little spoke. And also Tumnas and Lucy both react with confusion and are startled that the other doesn't know what they are, but even Little who is seemingly very young and doesn't know yet that Ruby is from another world just takes it in their stride that Ruby doesn't know animals can talk without even a pause.

Also here's what I'm gonna say about the jokes about the mice and Blake being a faunus. First off, one of my medium case scenarios of 'pretty expected but still annoying' things has come true already

Two or more jokes about Blake being a cat Faunus (counting the one where Little is afraid when Ruby says Blake has cat ears)

And second off, how can they even tell she's a cat, for one. 'She has cat ears.' Yeah, they do resemble a cat. Does Blake have any other feature that even sort of resembles a cat? And her ears are easily missed at first sight. So why is it that the mice are like 'forgive us for trying to capture you and your friend, but you'll understand, we don't like cats.' Like why would they assume she's a cat? They don't know what faunus are or what human beings are, it'd be like someone seeing a fox and being like 'their ears are pointy like a cat they must be a cat' except even stupider because foxes at least walk on four legs and have fur over their body and are small-ish enough and have tails. And third off, what was this choice, from a writer angle. Blake is a member of a marginalized minority group and it's bad to treat her like an animal, but the writers write a story where 'cute' little mice assume she's a cat or freak out at the mention of her faunus traits, and also none of the mains seem that uncomfortable about it? Ruby is just like 'I shouldn't have mentioned Blake's faunus traits, I've seen cartoons, so I should know that cats and mice don't get along' (insert audience laughter here.) And when the mouse is like 'you understand we don't get along with cats' Blake is just like "yeah it's fine" instead of saying something like "I'm not a cat" or "just so you know I don't like being treated like a cat" and she doesn't even like, look vaguely uncomfortable? It's just weird. It feels like the writers just don't want to engage with Blake being a Faunus in any sort of significant way at all and instead just make jokes about it all the time.

Blake and Weiss's reunion getting completely skipped over and Ruby's reunion with them getting side-stepped is dumb and annoying. I mean I already know that the writers don't care much about their dynamics with each other these last couple seasons, except for an obligatory 'they're friends' here and there and a couple shallow conversations maybe, but it's just frustrating. We don't get to see Blake upset that Weiss fell, or Ruby upset that Weiss fell, or them hugging or anything. "It happened off screen!" That's part of the problem, I don't want emotional moments that will increase my belief in friendships and my interest in dynamics to happen off screen, I want to actually see them.

Weiss and Blake not being able to reach Blake's weapon doesn't make sense. Look, I know Blake doesn't have her weapon and Weiss is low on dust, but they're basically superheroes who have always hopped and jumped around with little effort in the past. Like, we're talking about these kids, right?

Also, Weiss has fundamentally changed as a character because her being a cheerleader and going 'woo, yeah!' while jumping in the air with a big beaming grin on her face made sense to me and I'm honestly sad about it. People can say whatever they want about 'character growth' or whatever, but I liked the idea of Weiss being not Nora 2.0 thanks. I already had Nora, I already had Ruby, I already had Little, I already had Neon Katt, I don't need Weiss to be the same type of character who would do that kind of thing. Other people liked cheerleader Weiss and good for them, but I didn't like it.

The design and movement of the Jabberwocky thing is - imo - overrated. It didn't really seem very creepy to me, or very interesting aesthetically. Also, I'm sorry, but the first 'fight' of the season is Blake swinging her blade at something, Weiss getting ready to fight, and then Yang hurling a rock at the monster, and then that's it? That was such a let down.

Ruby at Yang: "If you thought we wouldn't come for you, then you must've forgotten who raised me." Me: "What does this have to do with Tai? Oh, does she mean Qrow, since Qrow was in the habit of following them and saving them - Ohhh she means Yang!" Tbh, this line would've been so much more emotional if that had ever seemed to impact their relationship with each other or Tai or Qrow, instead of Tai seeming like a great and loving father and Ruby clearly modeling herself after Qrow and the writers being like 'omg isn't Ruby so connected to Summer' in seasons seven and eight. I honestly forget that it's even part of their story, because Ruby never talks about or acts like she had a neglectful father, Yang doesn't fill a maternal role for her, Ruby has a perfectly fine good relationship with Tai... It just could've been treated more significantly, and as it is, it doesn't feel emotional to me because of how little they've done with it. No, not everything needs to be gone into and explored (though after ten years, ehhh,) but it just makes lines like this fall flat when they aren't.

Also, Ruby at Yang: "If you thought we wouldn't come for you, then you must've' forgotten who raised me." Me: "None of them came for Yang, they were thrown in. None of them tried to jump in, they all fell in while they were trying not to. None of them even said something like 'to be honest I'm glad we're here, so Yang won't be alone' or something." This line would've been more impactful if Ruby at the very least had a chance to get through to Vacuo and chose to jump down instead, and especially if they had actually fought back Cinder enough to have a conversation and decide to go in after Yang. As it is, Yang is like "you weren't supposed to be here" and Ruby kind of leads her to believe that they came in after her on purpose, which just isn't true. Also, I feel like that would've been more impactful if Yang had protested it, like Yang thought she was dead and Ruby essentially tells her "you should've known I'd follow you to my death." Yang should be like "No, Ruby, that's messed up! You don't have to risk your life just because I happened to go down! We're Hunters, but if one of us dies, the rest of us can't just up and die too!"

Also, last thing I'm gonna say about this, I swear, but as Ruby and co are set up as leaders and saviors of the world on a quest to save the world, it kind of feels... Irresponsible, to have the mentality of 'if one of us gets into a horrible bad situation the others will too it's all of us or none of us!" Because they have a bigger responsibility than that. It's very in character and it makes sense and is very sympathetic and could be done well, but it isn't necessarily a good mentality to have, so I hope that's not just treated like a good given.

The bees reunion was lackluster tbh, but what else was I supposed to expect at this point? I hope this is the last time I hear the term 'beeunion' from here on in. It's gotten old. At least we got to see it though.

Also, someone else pointed this out, but them not showing Weiss's face and just having her kind of quip at Yang and then the next second already be in tears felt lackluster too when we could've watched her face fall as she struggles to hold back tears. And the tone problems for this episode are really off the charts. Instead of letting this be a completely serious moment, it's like "Yang is sad that Ruby and the others are in her mind, dead - Omg guys isn't Little so funny and quirky lol talking mouse! - Awww what a sweet soft moment between Yang and Blake - Weiss is crying! She's recounting the traumatic experience from the last volume!

And I'm sorry, I know I might be in the minority on this even in rwde circles, but I did not like Ruby fainting. First of all, because the set up to Ruby fainting is not super great. She's comedically frustrated by being in a loop, now she's crying but not for long, now she has a little friend who is making her happier, now she's reacting to the wacky hijinks of the mice, now she's seriously asking what happened but with zero urgency, now she's kind of happy to see Yang and trying to encourage her, now she's FAINTING! This, coupled with the fact that she, Weiss, and Blake arguably got a lot more rest than anybody else in the last volume except for like Whitley makes this reaction not super convincing to me - especially since Ruby's reaction to Penny being alive was so lackluster. I suppose it makes sense from a character standpoint that even though she didn't seem particularly happy to see Penny when she got resurrected, she did try really hard to save her and hasn't responded well to hard situations in volumes, so yeah hearing that someone she tried to save just died anyway might make Ruby the character faint I guess. But again, the emotional weight of it wasn't there for me as a viewer. Especially because Ruby fainting and then us cutting to her waking up was a convenient way for the writers to skip over 1. anyone else reacting to the news about Penny's death 2. anyone comforting Weiss. 3. Weiss pulling herself together. 4. Actually recounting what happened. It just felt like a way for them to be like "actually it doesn't matter, don't worry about that." They instantly move on.

"Clearly they're gonna come back to it!" Okay, cool, but that doesn't mean it isn't annoying to me that it got shuffled to the side now. There was just no real emotional weight to the moment for me.

Blake being the one to say "we're in a fairytale" makes sense since - outside of Ruby - she's the one that actually knows fairy tales, but it is a little weird to me. If I fell off a magical bridge and landed in some weird strange place, I would come to a lot of conclusions before I was like "what if we're in books written for children?" Even if it looked like it. I don't know. Maybe it works because of how fairy tales are framed as 'ringing with truths' in RWBY, but even then, I feel like the more realistic not-made-for-a-trailer line would be like "I read about a place like this in a fairy tale" or "this reminds me of a fairy tale" or "this seems like the place a fairy tale I know was based off of." They're not - as far as they or we know - "in a fairy tale" the way people get read into Inkheart the book in the book Inkheart, they're just in a place that fairy tales might potentially be based off of. Just a weird line imo.

Anyway, those were my thoughts about the new ep.

fucking hate tumblr why do you do this too me I was just about to get done with this fully and it fucking deleted itself whywhywhy

not in crude ways of course

pretty much being captain obvious

and little witty quips here and there but nothing to hurt your feelings

he looks like a bath person

I will not and never will debate this it's happening

I mean look at him, he looks like he smells like way to expensive of shampoo too even be shampoo yk?

but not pungent- subtle like somethin u only sniff if he walked by or was in a close vicinity

some fancy shit idk lavender and?? pine and very gently of soot, like smoke but not from any smoking but from candles and setting shit on fire sometimes

yeah he's the bitch 2 take baths with you

and he doesn't even care for it that much in a "pervy" sense

just likes sitting in warm tub with you, across from you or next too you

he don't care, it's bath time

"two bros chillin in a hot tub, five feet apart cause their not gay!"

type of dood too have hundreds upon thousands of stashed away unfinished or scrapped letters too you

you'd stumble upon it crumpled in the trash or on a desk and decide too open and read it

prolly giggling at the letters, trying to think up of what he could've been thinking when he crumpled this and why

when he walks in on you, originally trying to find where you ran off too in his common room

watching you, blissfully unaware of the soul leaving that boys body

he is

internally shriveling at the fact he didn't burn those or- dispose of them properly

until you notice him and he brushes it off like it was nothing

he is still mentally evaporating at the thought of you reading silly poems and or simple wrightings he never sent

he'd notice that you have more than one in your hand and physically cringes at the known fact you've read some of them-

he's embarrassed as all fuck and is desperately trying to cover himself up

shoving the remaining letters and papers into a desk drawer, putting his hand out in request of the return of his other ones

the ones in your hand, in which you look down at then back at him

'no I don't think I will' you tell yourself, running off with them, shoving them into your shirt

he comes sprinting after you before you could even show anyone else-

the song I shall slap down tis

like cmon, your touch starved, hes probably somehow more touch starved..the puzzles..the dots..connect- th em.. please.

Ominis Gaunt

tired™

vaguely angry as well but that's cause tired

you'd end up finding him in the undercroft or even in strewn out places of hogwarts, sleeping

on the floor no less but he don't care

sitting down next too him as he snoozes, leaning on his leaned over head, shutting your eyes

feeling him stur awake, you lift your head, even without saying a word he says your name

in a questioning tone no doubt, he turns to your general direction, blinking sleepily at you

you'd chuckle softly at his expression and you see him relax physically, you assure that it's you

he smiles slightly at the sound of your chuckles

he looks like he'd smell like?-.. clean warm linen, secrets and marble-

makes sense? no?

too bad

he'd ask to feel your face, to mark out your features a bit for himself

he's known you all this time should he not know your face?

his hands are nimble and soft with long fingers tracing your jaw a bit before palming one side of her face

you sigh softly and lean towards his touch

bringing his thumb up to brush over her lashes, his thumb coming up further to brush over her eyebrow

his other hand feeling her neck, sliding it up too cup her other cheek

he feels you smile against his hands and his eyes widened a bit, feeling your faces divits and smile lines

he just can't help but smile over you smiling

you let out a chuckle at his smile forming, letting him feel your face still as it warmed under his hands

song I fart out is...

I'm sleepy so I'm stopping it here- I was going to wright more bout sebastian for self indulgent purposes but I'm slheepy 💤💤 so have this for now cause tumblr ate my other post 😔
