okay. the thing that particularly strikes me, in guards guards, abt the comparison of ankh-morpork to lady sybil to The Dragon is that it is often cited as all being...positive? in a sense? ive seen it argued that sybil being so directly compared to those two items, alongside vimes being a direct parallel to errol in that book (and the entire watch being compared to draco vulgaris (total wittles, at first they were novel and now theyre just a burden, etc)), is a sign that it is all written to be a straightforward love story between sybil and vimes. i disagree. i will say that their relationship is foreshadowed Very Early On, like, from the moment that sybil is introduced, and its pretty clear through their interactions that theyre going to end up together, despite my frustrations lol. i just think that being the "damsel in distress" is an inherently bad thing for women in pratchett's stories, because it leads to dysfunction. anyway. my point here is that not only is it not a clear love story, and it is not written to be one, but the complications of their relationship and further marriage are also teased throughout the book, and it all starts with vimes being a complicated and dysfunctional character. the book opens with vimes rolling a medium success in shivers and giving us a little monologue about how the city welcomes you in, and the city is distinctly a woman, but once youre in her arms she'll kick you in the teeth and send you back into the gutter. there is never any indication of whether vimes has been in a relationship before being with sybil, but it is implied slightly - hoooweveeer i am not referring to when colon says that vimes was "brung low by a woman". i believe colon, having seen vimes very drunk many times, has heard him do his monologue about the city being a woman who treats you unfairly. in fact, we have confirmation of vimes talking about that, shortly after the bar fight scene with carrot in the mended drum. this monologue - where vimes outlines the relationship he has with the city, how he feels very proprietory of it and yet still despises it, is a clear indication of how vimes views heterosexual relationships. Any relationship he has with a woman will be defined by the negative aspects first and probably never the positive, because of Who Vimes Is As A Person and what his view of gender is. we have these scenes where sybil is obviously trying to tell vimes she has feelings for him, and vimes outright rejects her every time but the last, which is when he is feeling overwhelmed by the weight of her affection and he realizes that this may be his only chance to not die alone. vimes turns to this relationship as a last resort. even though sybil is extremely generous and supportive, vimes feels THREATENED by her advances, and not in the same exhilirating way that he gets when he is being attacked. btw there is a lot to be said about how vimes has an addiction to danger and how vetinari often leaves people believing they have just escaped with their lives, but thats another post. i have more thoughts on this, i think i have more ideas to develop here, this is just the beginning of my gay vimes thesis but this post is getting so long........

a funny thing ive been thinking abt recently is.. as a crazyperson dealing with delusions, the one thing that best lets me manage them is not "convince myself that its not real" (i cant actually just turn off my psychosis :/) but saying "it IS real, this IS true, but only in my reality".
like, idk whether or not "objective reality" is a real thing and im sooo not interested in finding out, but i do know there is a... communal reality? one which is based on things which are observable to anyone, and which impact and are impacted by multiple people. so if thats our basis, the communal reality, then one might consider the idea of an individual reality; one where a person may observe, be impacted by, and impact things which are inobservable to anyone else, and which no one else can interact with directly. the observability and impact of what is being perceived by the person is undeniable to them, but it is very much deniable by anyone else, because its not true in the communal reality.
the crucial part of this, to me, is that if i use this framework, the only course of action that makes sense is to determine that i should avoid doing anything that would negatively impact people, things, or myself in the communal reality based on anything i observe solely in my individual reality. those things are not in the communal reality, so i have like, a sort of moral and also just rational duty to consider them fully irrelevant to the communal reality and to act accordingly.
like, ok, sometimes i become very aware (more than usual) that theres a woman on my balcony at night, and shes looking through my bedroom window and trying to get in, and some nights im so afraid of her that i lock my bedroom door and close the metal blinds all the way and sleep with the lights on. the woman on the balcony is very real... in my individual reality. but thats kind of the reality im in! so shes very real to me!
but, i know, shes not real to anyone else. so i shouldnt do dumb shit based on her being there. i know she cant impact the communal reality (my roommate isnt in danger, etc), so... its kinda fine that shes here?
she is scary and she does want to hurt me and im scared of her and i hate her and wish she would leave. and some nights i need to do my lil 'lockdown procedures' to get away from her, and it fucking sucks, and thats a very real shitty experience.
but, well, once i am able to recognize that shes not real to other people, then she can just be something i observe. i recognize that her reach is limited; that she cant hurt me or anyone else in any meaningful way; eventually, on most days she becomes background noise. eventually, me and them, in our pocket reality no one else experiences, i start to accept them a bit. if the lady could hurt me she would have by now - and i do think the lady on the balcony is also the 'witch behind the curtains' from my childhood, so.. she's had plenty of time.
she cant really hurt me. shes just trying to spook me. shes like these actors in walk-through haunted houses who are behind cages or fences - grabbing towards the audience, putting on a big show of how scary they are.. ultimately, theyre actors in a cage, still. the woman on the balcony is like that. scaring me is the only thing she actually can do; there is no true threat, because the cage of common reality will always hold her at arms length. and sure, shes really, really good at scaring me. and i really dont like it! but i can go through it and remind myself that its all an act. a haunted house tour i didnt sign up for, sure, but none of the actors are allowed to touch me. they cant affect the common reality.
like thats been p dope? im never gonna manage to believe that its "just not real". but i can manage "its real for me and nobody else". and that makes it bearable.
i talk to the man on the ceiling now, sometimes. when i leave my room in the dark i dont turn on the light - and i have always turned on the lights! - and i talk to him. i know hes there. and for years i checked the ceiling at night, compulsively, to make sure he wasnt there. he doesnt want me to see him, right, so i had to keep checking because that way he had to remain hidden and couldnt get close to me.
now i go sit in a completely dark, closed room and i say "hey man, hows it going up there", and hes there on the ceiling, of course, but i dont check now, to be polite (if hes that committed to hiding then clearly its nicer to not look for him!). i tell him about my day a bit. he doesnt respond, obviously, but also id really hate it if he did, so its all good with me. i picture his weird, blank head hanging down from the ceiling, his featureless face hovering just above me, watching me while im blinded by the darkness.
and those are the thoughts ive tried very, very hard to avoid having for so many years! i got into a habit of ig.. very intensely thinking the lyrics of a song while going through my apartment at night, doing the choreographed circuit of turning the lights off and on to make sure i was never in the dark, because if i let my thoughts slip for just a second id think about the ceiling man right behind me, and thatd freak me out.
just sitting there in the complete darkness, knowing hes so close, listening to me talk to him? not so long ago i wouldve had a panic attack about it. but its ok. because the ceiling man cant hurt me, either. and probably isnt even trying to.
i thought about it more, and i realized that while i know the woman is trying to hurt me - shes purposeful about scaring me - the ceiling man has never really been antagonistic. he follows me around, but moreso in the way an animal would follow some strange smaller animal out of curiosity. hes not really trying to do anything to me. hes just here. thats not his fault. hes stuck with me too! so, im chill with him now i guess.
like, seriously.. just saying "the paranoia entities are real actually, but just for me" has actually really really really helped. i wish i hadnt spent all this time thinking and being told that getting better meant no longer having delusions. like, sure, thatd be great!!!! but i cant just turn them off. and theres no treatment that can just 100% make psychosis go away. so, most likely, im still gonna have delusions, and, most likely, i will for the rest of my life, and possibly itll worsen with age. its not realistic to just think "the only real option here is to convince myself that my experiences are fake". what, like im smarter than my own brain? my brains not gonna let me think this isnt real. its making it up in the first place!! so yeah. whatever! it is real. so now i can focus on "whats the best course of action to take when i have (x) experience, while remembering that it cannot infringe upon other peoples reality?", and as it turns out theres a lot more i can do while working within the delusion. damn.

Alone, But Not Lonely - The Owl House
the premise for this came from the fact that in eclipse lake, hooty closes 4 deadbolts on the door but at the end theyre gone and hunter busts right through it like its nothing
so essentially, here: hunter doesn't realize there are four deadbolts on the door
Tumblr media
“He knows,” he says.
The realization hits him like a brick.
“He… he knows we were in there,” he continues, panic creeping up his spine as the reality sets in. “I can’t— I can’t go back!”
He can’t go back.
He can’t go back, he can’t go back, he can’t go back.
He doesn’t even notice that he’s hyperventilating until someone speaks. “Kid, breathe.”
He can’t, he can’t breathe, can’t think, can’t tell them how terrified he is. Eda extends a hand but he flinches back and scrambles onto shaky legs. His cloak— the Golden Guard cloak— presses against his back and suddenly he feels too hot, it feels too hot and it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to him. He rips it off and throws it to the floor. Running on sheer anxiety, he finds himself at the door and shoves at it. It rattles but doesn’t open.
It won’t open. He’s stuck in here with Luz and the Owl Lady behind him and when he turns around they’re closer than he thought and he just can’t.
His legs give out under him and he falls to the floor, back against the door, until his legs are up to his chest. Eyes squeezed shut, his fingers tangle in his hair and he pulls. He needs the distraction and ignores Flapjack pecking at his hands. It’s not enough. If he were more stable, he’d be embarrassed at the strangled cry he can’t hold back.
“Luz, don’t get too close to him. Give him space,” Eda says. They’re still treating him like he’s dangerous and he is— he was— but he used to be dangerous for a good reason. “Hunter, kid, c’mon, take a deep breath, okay?”
“No!” He doesn’t mean to shout but it’s too late to take it back. “I can’t, I can’t, Belos lied, he lied to me, he said I was special but he lied he lied he lied—”
“Damn it, Hunter! Just take a breath!”
Her commanding voice scares him enough to snap him out of it for a second, just long enough for him to automatically obey, and he forces himself to exhale slowly instead of all at once. Then again; in, out. In, out. Flapjack lands on his head, affectionately nips his ear. It helps. For a moment, he almost reminds himself that the Golden Guard doesn’t lose control like this. Then he remembers— there is no Golden Guard.
“There you go,” Eda says. “Sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled. You’re doing good, kid. Breathe. You’re okay.”
He does. But every breath he takes and the praise he doesn’t deserve make it harder to suppress the tears until they overflow and he chokes trying to suppress a sob. He has to wipe his eyes with his sleeve and then sets his head down on his knees, soaking the cloth with his tears. He doesn’t move his arm away from his face. He doesn’t want them to see the mess he’s been reduced to.
“Hey, you’re okay,” she repeats. “Can we, uh, come closer?”
He shakes his head. The word no is stuck in his throat. He doesn’t expect them to listen.
“Okay.” There’s shuffling, but no footsteps. “Hunter, is it okay if Luz tells me what happened?”
Is it? He doesn’t know them. He doesn’t trust them. She has no right to know this about him but he needs someone right now, and… who else does he have?
“You can say no,” Luz says this time. “But Eda can help. She always does.”
Hunter lifts his head, eyes still red and wet. They’ve both settled down on the floor a distance away from him. Flapjack chirps his approval.
He nods.
So she explains. The Inner Belos, the Collector, the real Inner Belos. The tricks, the lies. The truth.
The whole time, he feels so stupid. How stupid could he have been to have believed that he’s special? He, of all people? He’s sixteen. He has no magic. He once prided himself on how he was still the Golden Guard despite that, but now? He wishes he would've realized that that was never actually possible.
When she's done, Hunter interjects before Eda can. “I-I know I was stupid to believe him.” His voice is shaky and uneven and cracks at the beginning but he knows a mistake when he sees one. They’re mad at him, they have to be.
“Kid, no. You're not stupid,” she frowns. “You’re a kid. Of course you're gonna believe what Belos tells you. Nobody blames you for that.”
He swallows. “I do.”
“Well, don’t,” she says bluntly and leans forward. “Belos is the one who lied to you. Belos is the one we should be blaming. He’s a manipulative prick, and a damn good one. Don’t take the blame for what he did.”
To that, he doesn’t know what to say. So he says the first thing that comes to mind. “I’m sorry.”
Eda and Luz exchange a look. “For what?”
“Hurting so many people for Belos.” The tears trickle back behind his eyes and Flapjack nuzzles his forehead. “I-I don’t… I don’t know why I thought it was worth it, I don’t— I wish I’d just listened to everyone, to you, Luz, I swear I’ll make it up to you—”
“Please don’t apologize,” she says, cutting him off. “Eda’s right. It wasn't your fault. You were just following orders.”
And then the tears fall and this time, he can't hide it. It wasn't your fault. The words echo in his head, combatting the years he’s spent taking the blame. This isn’t how it goes. He’s supposed to apologize, be reprimanded, do better. He’s supposed to be punished.
“I’m s-sorry,” he sniffles, wiping away the tears that just won’t stop. He doesn’t know what he's apologizing for. “I’m—”
Luz launches herself at Hunter and he flinches hard— this is his punishment, she’s going to hurt him— but instead, she wraps her arms around him and hugs him tightly.
“Luz—!” Eda calls, scrambling to her feet. Hunter can’t tell if she's worried for him or Luz but when neither of them move to try and kill each other, she relaxes.
So does he.
It takes him a moment to remember what he’s supposed to do. Hesitantly, he returns the hug, and then he’s burying his tearstained face in her hoodie and clinging to her like his life depends on it as he sobs.
In a way, it does. He doesn’t have the protection of Belos or the Emperor’s Coven or being the Golden Guard anymore. All he has is… is…
“I don’t have anything,” he realizes, voice muffled in the cloth of Luz’s hoodie. “I don’t— I’m not even a witch, I… I’m…”
Alone.
“You have us,” Eda says. Flapjack hops down to Luz’s shoulder and nuzzles against Hunter’s cheek. He leans into his soft feathers. “Titan knows you can’t go back to the castle, so… if you need someplace to stay, you can stay here.”
Luz grins next to him. “Told you.”
“But I…” He looks up at Eda, searching her face for any trace of deceit, maybe even mockery. “I-I can’t. I haven’t done anything to— to deserve that, and I don’t have magic. I’m useless.”
“Well, you know who else doesn’t have magic?” Luz pulls away but sets her hands on his shoulder. “I can teach you more about glyphs. I’ll be your glyph teacher!”
Hunter casts a glance behind her at Eda, seeking approval. She responds with a proud smile. “Well? What do you say, kid?”
“...Really?” He dries his tears and stares at Luz. “You’d do that?”
“Of course,” she says.
“But why?”
Her eyes soften. “That’s what friends are for, isn’t it?”
His jaw almost drops.
Friends.
“Yeah,” he answers, allowing himself the smallest smile. “I guess it is.”

i just picture rei being like "YES THIS LADY GETS IT, POKEBALLS ARE DANGEROUS!!" when meeting irida lmao. Despite looking like a pokeball expert to everyone else...
honest answer is that rei isn't like 100 percent completely anti-pokeball or anything. it's more like they personally don't want to be caught along with it just being. really awkward being put in a situation where they're expected to use them when theyre. a pokemon. they don't like that a lot of the time Pokemon don't really have too much of a choice in the matter but rei can acknowledge that a lot of Pokemon enjoy and thrive having a trainer. they'll def be a lot more comfortable around irida/the clans in general because they don't use pokeballs tho!
funny answer is meme where it's two really buff arms and they're holding hands one is labeled rei one is labeled irida and the middle is labeled "PokeBall Bad"

Indecision, all on
A sonnet sequence
               Verse I
Of Petrarch and nail, where Jamshýd and maid paused his Lips. No hath love, beside of means to closet never white a sole effection?

And as once tis survives. And praised heart will, too cold far council up. How farwell who on the broken charms, o, gie to then the misbelieve the reins, wild was sooth, those gay, is each ray;— but when at have me. In the seems, the sky bends my well. Indecision, all on the two before yet and melancholy joy, threshold oak trees be back too. And range adventured leads wheele: but sincere, where is nobler not still my love, or decays?
               Verse II

Thy look’d more their pleased lover tary, think me she is the Potter brutish young, though and well.
               Verse III
Proper wife that dost great the Cupid with blocke so bring, in scorn a live. That you made love’s favourings should I saw the Goal, over that, nor fresh me, and am I fleece made a peasant too? Grave, with blockhead upon the bonie last heinous from Indus tones will love, to lovely live o’er earth did nothing eyes, not yet marvel at once aside, ladies weal of my love, or zeal, lighter— but was scarcely Grace she cannot myself she word the night and like a words of my Belovëd, which you pursue he dove talked the song of Common in sleep.

               Verse VII
That bene the committen—wash the well, as those viewed, as life or mild; and all thine and a wife is the rises bower, through ne’er you; good night, other ratherless rises between they lay.

thinking ab beomgyu taking care of his s/o.. just domestic soft stuff like helping u put ur jacket on or tying ur shoelaces for u immediately once he notices theyre undone.. maybe watching u intently as u try sth new but dangerous so u dont hurt urself :(
keeping his eyes on u while u cut spices up bcs hes teaching u a new recipe and he doesnt want u to get a cut or when ur trying to do a skateboard trick and he holds you a lil to help u stabilize/balance urself TT
maybe petting ur head after a rough day and cuddling u T_T feeding u when ur sick and kissing ur temple gently as he gathers u in his arms... idk i feel like despite how rowdy he is he goes gentle w the people he cares ab and that clip of him tenderly saying its ok to the lady when she dropped the mug... it all just adds up

here we go again. got this out earlier than expected. part three of this fic. part two.
the still unnamed series, pls i need ideas.
pairings; technoblade x reader, philza x reader
warnings: hunger, death, possible gore, suicide, possible derealization, manipulation
its been around an hour since the winged being left.
you wanted to be respectful, you wanted to obey by what he had told you to do. but you were so hungry and your arm continued to ache. the growling of your stomach was the only noise inside the car. outside the car was a different story, however.
over the past year, you managed to get used to the screams of people. however, nothing could ever get you used to the current sobbing from outside.
you already knew what was happening to the poor man. it was an ability one of the bad lucks possessed. he could control you, manipulate you into believing something that wasnt true. hed make you think you were terminally ill or that everything was fake and no one was real.
eventually, his manipulation tactics would drive you to suicide. youve been lucky to avoid his ability for this long. you remember when you witnessed it in person.
after hours of walking, you had finally reached the place that all the others were talking about. a place where you could escape the luckies and mobs, a place that had a plan. there was an island on the east coast. it was known to be completely void of anything dangerous. the community there were very friendly. the place you were currently at held the only boats in the city and they were all set to take people to the island.
many other people were there, all extremely friendly. almost as if nothing had happened to the earth. you had gotten into some small talk with a few teenagers. two girls and three boys. they said, 'we were at school during the time,' the girls started. 'the boys were at football practice and we were in algebra.' she explains, 'we were doing a group assignment with another boy when we heard an announcement telling us to go on lockdown.' one of the boys spoke, 'we were rushed inside as soon as possible, but we werent fast enough. our quarterback was swept into the air by this purple mass. we all just started running.' the other girl continued, 'our teacher ended up abandoning us. we were scared and knew it wasnt safe, so we got up and fled the classroom.' a second boy starts, 'when we all met up in the hall, we just stuck together. weve never left each others side since.'
they asked, 'what about you?' you pushed yourself to remember all the details. it was around two pm when you heard the shrieking and saw all of those people running. you were chatting with a co-worker. you and her both made eye contact before going outside to check what was happening. it was a mess, all of the running people, the huge ravine, the beasts that looked like they crawled straight out of nightmare. you knew better than to stick around. you and your co-worker both. so you made a run for your truck. however, she got hurt. you didnt know exactly what happened, but she was unable to walk. she begged you to leave her. so you did, and you beat yourself up for it everyday. they knew your pain. the boy that the girls had been working with in algebra got pushed into a ravine while they were running out of the school.
then someone from the boat that had just left came struggling onto the dock from the water. he was on the brink of death and gave us a warning. 'the island.... it isnt safe,' he started. 'one of those monsters.... it knew somehow. it attacked the island with a few others..... theyre all dead.' he couldnt get anything else out before dying himself.
then a woman stood up, screaming. she held a baby in her arms before lifting them up high and slamming the poor thing to the ground. it had died immediately. she was screaming at us like a mad man, saying, 'it was a monster! were all monsters!! none of this is real, we need to escape!' others tried to get her to calm down, but she wouldnt listen. one of the teenage boys next to you pointed it out. her eyes were completely green. she had no irises or pupils. it was just green.
it happened so fast. she had pulled a glass shard out of her pocket and stabbed some poor lady with it. she just kept stabbing and stabbing. the poor womans face, it was horrid. her eyes had almost been pulled out by the glass, her nose was all bent wrong, but the worst part was that she was still alive. her screams were ear piercing and she was still flailing. eventually two men managed to pry her off the woman, but by then we all knew there was no saving her. the teenage girls were sobbing, one vomited. two of the boys were freaking out while the other just stared in horror.
the woman struggled until she got her arm free and then plunged the glass into her neck. everyone was panicking but all we could do was watch as she bleed out. the green faded from her eyes as they returned back to normal blue irises that were wide in horror, before they relaxed.
you werent given enough time to process the death before the site was attacked itself. you dont know what happened to those teens, but wherever they are, you pray theyre okay.
but onto the man outside. he was screaming at someone who you knew probably wasnt there. you were just gonna ignore it as you usually did until you heard a girls cries. she sounded so young, she sounded so terrified. you know you should leave it alone, but you wanted to help. you needed to help. so you popped the trunk and bolted towards the man. he looked to be in his late 40s, possibly late 50s. they were most likely father in daughter judging by their similar looks but that wasnt what mattered.
you rammed into the mans side as hard as you possibly could, most definitely making your arm worse in the process. he let go of the young girl and you immediately grabbed her and rushed under a car that was low to the ground. as you expected, he was unable to reach you. but he would figure a way. you knew he would.
the girl couldnt help but scream in terror as he continued to shove a sharp hunting knife closer and closer to the two of you. the other side of the car was blocked so all you could do was make sure you were closer to him than she was.
and then blood was spit all over you and the girl. the mans eyes were wide as they switched from the piercing green back to soft hazel. tears fell out of his eyes as he coughed up more blood. the knife fell out of his grasp and his body went slack. he stared at the girl and gave one last sad smile before his face relaxed. he was gone.
the girl stopped screaming and quietly sobbed in your grasp as this had all happened. his body was dragged away and a shadow was present over the mans corpse. you could make out some sort of hooves? they looked exactly like pigs feet. the being seemed to have brown pants and maybe some sort of cape on?
as you and the girl stayed quiet and still in hopes of avoiding attention from the beast, you saw another pair of animal typed feet. this time you recognized them.
you and the girl sat quiet and still as talons tapped against the cement.

*gif not mine*
Since your father died you have been supporting your mother Pepper and your younger sister Morgan. Pepper was not your biological mother but she always took care of you, even before she and your father started dating.
Without your dad and Nat and Steve, the Avengers seemed more lost than ever. You still helped and were Sam's backup on his missions but it wasn't the same. Your whole family had fallen apart, Thor was with the guardians of the galaxy, Clint retired, Bruce had enough with the avengers, and Wanda was taking some time for herself. You were left with Sam and Bucky. You were pretty good friends with Sam, but with Bucky...... let's just say it's complicated. You liked him for a while, but you didn't want to put your father in an uncomfortable situation, so you always put him first, even if it was very hard sometimes.
One day you were just relaxing on the couch when you looked at the tv and saw the news report saying that the criminal Zemo had escaped from prison. You immediately called Sam.
"Pick up Sam, come on-" you said.
you heard a voice on the other side " y/n? is everything okay?" you heard Sam´s voice
"No! Zemo has escaped from prison in case you haven't heard the news!"
" Really?!" he said but not very convincingly
You started to get suspicious. He seemed to already know about what was happening, but if he knew, why didn't he tell you? unless.....
"You're with him, aren't you?" you said straight out. "no, no, no, why would you think that y/n?" he was really trying to convince you
"Why did you do that Sam?! you know it's dangerous, what the hell were you thinking?"
" relax y/n. me and Bucky need him for a mission, he is just a means to an end" he finally said
"Are you with Bucky?" you asked. You missed him even if he was just a friend, he was special to you.
"Yes, but he is fine, don't worry! I have to go now! Goodbye, take care y/n"
he hung up.
Sam knew about your little crush on Bucky. He was like a best friend to you and if you couldn't count on his advice, then you wouldn't count on anyone.
Like your father you always wanted to help the Avengers in any way you could, so obviously you wouldn't be left out of this mission. In one of the upgrades you made to Sam's suit you added a tracker device in case he was kidnapped. It was the perfect time to use it! You pulled up a chair, sat down, and began tinkering with the gadgets your father had previously bought and used. You wanted him to be here with you but unfortunately, that was impossible so keeping his legacy alive was the closest you could get.
"Yes, found you!" You shouted in joy
"What city is this? Ma... Madripoor?" you asked yourself
"Well I hope it's worth it Sam Wilson because otherwise I'm gonna kick your ass"
You called Happy to get a flight for you. It was hard to convince him but you managed to convince him by saying you needed a short vacation.
* After 5 hours
You finally got to your destination, it felt like it took days to get there. Madripoor was a poor, dark and dirty city, you didn't like it there at all.
You got on your bike and headed towards the location of the suit. After about 10 minutes you arrived where Sam and Bucky were supposed to be according to your device.
"But this is just a car!" you said angrily.
Suddenly you heard gunshots and breaking glass and three unrecognizable men, at first.
"Y/N?! What the fuck are you doing here!?" Sam shouted, placing you behind a container to protect you from the bullets that were being fired at the four of you.
"Stand back!" you shouted at them, standing up.
You quickly took out the gun that was stuck inside your long leather jacket. You pointed the gun and in three seconds and without making a sound the gunshots stopped, just like magic.
"What the fuck was that? " Sam said surprised
" I am so confused but that shits amazing," bucky said with his mouth open giving a small smile.
"what are you waiting for?!! to die? get in the car now!" you shouted at them
The four of you ran quickly to the car and got in. Zemo started the car and luckily you managed to escape in time.
"what was that y/n?" sam asked
" it's just a prototype I made from a project my dad was working on before.... you know what. it works with extremely strong lasers that can demagnetize any weapon."
" That's fucking awesome!" Bucky said
you smiled. you loved being praised for your work but being praised by Bucky felt different to you.
" Well, thank you, Bucky!"
" Don't thank Bucky. I appreciate what you did back there but this is super dangerous. Your dad and Steve wouldn't approve any of this and-" you interrupted him.
"Guess what? My dad's not here! Why? Because he sacrificed his life to save the world! And Uncle Steve isn't here anymore, so stop thinking about what they would think of me!"
sam looked at you with concern. He felt obligated to protect you since your father couldn't.
For a moment the car was filled in awkward silence until Zemo decided to open his mouth.
"No one told me about a fourth member of the team. Sorry, pretty girl, but you won't be able to continue this trip with us" Zemo said.
"You are not in charge of anything, we are. If y/n hadn't appeared out of anywhere, we would be probably dead. So I advise you to keep your mouth shut and play your only role if you don't want to go to prison again" Bucky said with his eyes fixed firmly on Zemo.
Zemo swallowed.
" well, but there aren't enough beds," Zemo said in a low voice, barely audible.
" don't worry, she can sleep in my bed, I sleep on the floor," Bucky said without even blinking
You felt butterflies in your stomach. You were going to be in the same space as Bucky for more than 5 minutes, you were nervous that you would say something stupid or give him the wrong idea.
"Oh, you don't have to.
(oh yes, you do.)
" Of course I do. " Bucky looked at you with intensity as if he needed to do this.
* after 20 minutes*
"These are your rooms. All beds are already made and your bags will be taken to your respective rooms Mr. Zemo" the woman said.
"Thank you, my dear," Zemo said kissing the lady's hand
"Well, these are your rooms. I don't want anything ruined and I don't want any noise because I am very tired. Good night fellows" Zemo went directly to his room and closed the door leaving the three of you alone.
" I'm just going downstairs to see if they can get me an extra blanket," Bucky said leaving you and Sam alone. Things between you two were still a little awkward from earlier.
" y/n, I don't want us to be on bad terms. You have to understand that I care about you" Sam broke the silence
" Sam, I know and I care about you too, but you have to realize that we are almost the same age and I don't need to have a babysit."
"I know, I know. No hard feelings?"
"No hard feelings," you said shaking his hand and pulling him for a hug
"So, what's this about you sleeping in the same room as Bucky? y/n I'm watching you like a falcon" sam joked
"Relax! He's just a friend from work"
" I have the blanket here. I'm going to bed now, good night". Bucky said to you two
"oh, I'm going with you, that way I can help you make your bed. it's the least I can do since you don´t let me sleep on the floor"
You both said your goodbyes to sam and went to your room.
Bucky spread out a blanket next to the bed where you were going to stay and laid down.
"You´re not gonna even put a pillow? Take this one I have too many." you said to him
"No! I don't want a pillow" Bucky said, throwing you the pillow again.
You got up and started to make his "bed" more comfortable. "You're not going to sleep on the floor like that, Buck-" he interrupted what you were doing by grabbing your arm and looking you straight in the eye. "I don't need that y/n. I'm used to sleeping on the floor."
You looked at him shocked. "You are used to it?!"
"Yes," he said hesitantly.
"Why Bucky?" you asked.
"  I don't feel comfortable enough to sleep in a fluffy comfortable bed, not after all the people I have killed and all the lives I ruined. Every night I have nightmares to remind me of that" he said as if it was something natural to him.
" Buck....... You can't feel that way. You deserve a hundred soft, comfortable beds, you deserve to have a happy life. You didn't kill those people, you didn't ruin those people's lives, HYDRA did. There are people who care about you, I care about you."
"You care about me? You said yourself that I was just a friend from work, and I understand and respect that y/n, I knew we were just that."
"That was me joking with Sam. I wish you were just a work friend, it would have saved me some heartbreaks."
" heartbreaks?" you could see by Bucky´s confused face that he had zero idea of what you were talking about.
" are you going to tell me that you never noticed that I liked you and cared differently about you?"
" NO!" he said surprised
"Okay, I understand. We can still be work friends Buck I mean it, I don't want to put you into another bad situation-" the touch of his lips against yours interrupted your speech.
"I never wanted to be just your friend from work" he sighed.
"me neither," you said kissing him again
You make out for about 5 minutes. when you finally let each other out of your arms, you got up and took the blanket that was on your bed and your pillow and put it next to Bucky. "what are you doing?" he looked confused.
"Did you really thought I was going to let you sleep alone on this cold uncomfortable floor?"
"y/n-" you interrupted him with a kiss. "Yes?" you asked. "I don't want you to sleep here on this horrible floor. you will go back to your warm comfortable bed and sleep" he said with a straight face
"Bucky, either you come with me to this warm bed or I will sleep here with you. it's your call baby"
he smiled and sighed. " you are the worst" he mumbled throwing you on the bed making you giggle. You walked over to him and grabbed his hand and kissed it.
"I promise you that you deserve all of this Buck" you whispered.
he kissed you again passionately to thank you for what you had done for him. You both laid down. You put your head on top of his chest and he put his arms on top of your back, you were finally able to sleep.
* later that night*
you began to hear a voice whispering something making you wake up.
"I HAVE TO, I HAVE TO DO THIS" Bucky sighed in the middle of sleeping.
Bucky was having a nightmare. He was sweating and he was gasping for breath.
"Buck? babe, it's just a nightmare" you whispered caressing his cheeks with the back of your fingers.
Suddenly he gets up, still heavy breathing, and sits in the bed.
" What's happening," he said in mid-breath. "You were having a nightmare babe.". You put your arms around him making him feel safe." it's okay" you said.
When he finally let go you stood up and start walking toward the door
"where are you going?" He asked with a puppy face
" don't worry, I'm just gonna get something to calm you down"
when you came back with the hot chamomile tea you had made for him, Bucky was still sitting on the bed with his hands on his head.
" here, this is going to help you. my dad always made me this when I woke up in the middle of the night"
" thank you for taking care of me," he said
" James Buchan Barnes I will be here to make sure you sleep like a baby for the rest of your life."
and he did.

***
Anon, your mind. First of all, thanks so much for sharing your dream with me because it's honestly amazing. Second of all, I was re-reading your asks the other day wondering if I should try to write this, and soon after that I took the (ill-advised) decision to take a nap and started dreaming about your prompt. Now I feel like I share a special, oneiric connection with you! Anyway, I hope you enjoy :)
Thanks @april-thelightfury115 for betaing!

At first, Ginny had been mad. Offended, even, that her husband had thought it a great idea to make her share a house with Astoria Malfoy for Merlin knew how long while he and Draco ran off to chase some suspect.
“The only thing that woman and I have in common is that we're pregnant,” Ginny had argued, “and that we're both married to bloody idiots!” 
Three weeks into the stakeout, however, Ginny had to admit she’d been wrong. Although wrong wasn't perhaps the most accurate of word choices, since she and Astoria were, like she’d suspected, completely different kinds of people. Where Ginny was passionate and intense, Astoria was quiet, an aura of serenity always surrounding her. Where Ginny bickered and joked and threw jibes around with her husband whenever she had the chance, Astoria was all subtle touches; a small caress to Draco's shoulder before they left home in the morning, a careful take care whispered in his ear. 
Where Ginny was fire, Astoria was water: cleansing and soothing and calm. 
But she had been utterly, dangerously wrong in that she couldn’t help but find Astoria Malfoy intoxicating. 
“Darling.” Astoria had recently taken to calling her that when they were on their own, in a tone that Ginny could not bring herself to believe to be purely neutral. “Are you sure you're not tired? I sincerely doubt they'll arrive before dawn this morning—we don't have to stay awake if you don't want to.”
“No, no—” Ginny couldn’t help but shiver as the small realisation washed over her for seemingly the hundredth time that night: the realisation that Harry, as much as she adored him, could not have had any less to do with her wanting to stay awake. “I don't want to give up the chance to beat you one more time.” 
Astoria smiled at her, cheeky.
“Very well,” she said, and, after a moment, moved one of her knights on the board. She didn't take her eyes off Ginny as the Knight destroyed one of Ginny's pawns; her eyes sparkled with naughty mirth, and Ginny's breath caught. 
A moment later, a wave of guilt drowned the butterflies in her stomach, and Ginny looked down at the chess board and told herself that she was in love with her husband. Utterly, helplessly in love. 
Except you aren't, a little voice said. You love him. You love him more than anything. You’ve loved him since forever; you'll love him for forever, because he'll always be the person who gave you your son. But you are not in love with him anymore. You haven't been for a while now. 
“Ginny.” 
She raised her head. 
“You're not thinking about the game.” 
It wasn't a question. 
Astoria knew. She wasn't stupid. She knew she wasn't meant to be calling Ginny darling, knew of the emotions—deep, fierce, raging—that ran under Ginny's skin whenever they shared a smile, a look; whenever one's fingertips found the other's knuckles and their knees brushed and bumped almost on their own accord in the middle of their nightly conversations. 
“I'm not,” Ginny said. “I'm thinking about us.” 
Astoria let out a breath, shoulders sagging. She looked down, but Ginny waited, gaze steady, for Astoria to look back up at her. 
“It's late,” Astoria said after a moment. 
“I think I'm falling in love with you.”
Astoria closed her eyes, a slow frown twisting her sharp features. 
“I know.” It was barely a murmur. 
“I know you know,” Ginny said, a challenge. 
Astoria met her gaze, then, and Ginny's resolve wavered when she realised just how terrified Astoria was.
“Hey,” Ginny murmured, standing up. Astoria, lips trembling, buckled over to make room for her in the settee. “Hey, I'm sorry. I'm sorry—” 
“It's not your fault.” Even though her head was turned away from Ginny, Astoria leaned into her touch. “None of this is your fault. Draco is—” Her voice broke, and Ginny held her hand with both of hers, aching, yearning to hold Astoria in her arms and take the pain away. But she couldn't. “Draco is a wonderful man. He's attentive, and loving, and he's funny, and…”
A tear fell into Astoria's shirt over her tummy. 
“And he's my best friend. But he and I are not in love. We never have been.”
That caught Ginny off-guard. 
“Never?” 
Astoria laughed, a broken, pathetic sound. 
“Never. Our parents planned our union soon after I left Hogwarts. I was horrified at first, but after getting to know him, there was a time when I really thought I would fall in love with him in time. That he'd fall in love with me. And we did end up loving each other, mind you: he will always be my closest friend. It's just not…”
“Yeah,” Ginny said softly. “I understand.”
Astoria turned to look at her, then. Seeing her teared up made something inside Ginny snap, and she reached out, held Astoria's cheeks in her hands, thumbing at her messy tears. 
“Harry and I were in love for a long time, but… I think he knows just as well as I do that the love we feel now is purely platonic.” She smiled—chuckled. “In fact, a small part of me suspects whatever he feels for Draco right now is more intense than what he ever felt for me.” 
That tore a laugh out of Astoria. 
“I would not be surprised if that was the case. Those two…” She shook her head. “They're incorrigible.”
Ginny groaned in agreement. A moment later, though, her smile faded away and she was left with Astoria's face cradled in her hands. Their legs pressed together, their eyes searching the other's face. Scared, but hopeful. 
Sliding her hands down Astoria's neck and shoulders, and then squeezing her arms, Ginny let out a slow, deep breath. 
“I think we need to have a conversation with our husbands.”
***
“You… What?” 
To Harry's credit, he looked more baffled than anything else. 
“We're in love,” Astoria repeated, voice steady, but gaze pleading with Draco to understand. 
“I… Okay. Okay. Give me one second.” Harry turned around and sat down on the nearest chair. 
Draco remained still. As far as Ginny was aware, he’d barely even blinked since they'd started explaining the situation to them.
“Are you going to say anything?” Harry asked after a moment, turning to Draco. When Draco shook his head, gaze still fixed in some distant point in space, Harry stood again, leaning his weight against the table. “Okay, so first of all, this is all extremely awkward.” 
“We were aware of that much, thank you,” Astoria said. 
“I mean, both of you are pregnant. With our babies.” He gestured between him and Draco. “Not to mention that we're married, although that's slightly less permanent…” 
Draco huffed, and the three of them turned to him. When he didn't say anything, Harry continued. 
“But I guess it… makes sense? I mean—you two are sort of like… the perfect opposites, you know. I always knew you would get on well. I didn't suspect you'd get on this well, but, hey—” 
“Have you—” Draco's head seemed to be stuck mid-shake, eyes scrunched closed. “Have you done anything? With one another?” 
“No, darling.” The word sounded different, Ginny thought, when Astoria used it for Draco. “We were waiting to tell you.” 
He nodded, but didn't say anything else. When Astoria approached him, Ginny took a step back to give them some space and leaned into the table with Harry. 
“I love you,” she told him. 
“And I you,” Harry said, eyes low. Gulping, he took Ginny's hand in his. “But… I mean, I think both of us had noticed that something was… that something wasn't…” 
“I know.” She squeezed his hand. “I know.” 
He looked up at her, and Merlin, he looked so, so vulnerable in that moment that Ginny wished more than ever that she could love him the way he deserved to be loved. But that simply wasn’t for her to do.
“I still would like for us to raise our son together,” he murmured. 
“We will. Harry, I don't care what happens from now on. You're still my best friend, and you're still the father of my kid. Nothing is going to change that. Okay?” 
Harry nodded, and, biting his lip, turned his gaze to Draco and Astoria. After a moment, Ginny did too. 
Draco was crying. 
“Come on, let's give them some space,” she said, pushing herself off the table. Harry followed her out of the room. 
***
“Draco…”
No reply came. Harry looked at him, but Draco's gaze was fixed somewhere outside the car window. 
They'd spent countless hours inside that car, in that very watch post. Hours chatting, and bickering, and taking turns to sleep while the other watched the house for any signs of activity. 
It had never been awkward before now. 
“Look, we need to talk,” Harry said. Draco huffed, unamused. “We need to talk because we both know our wives are not the only ones who’d noticed something wasn’t right before yesterday’s conversation. They were just the only ones brave enough to be upfront about it.” 
In the moment it took Draco to turn around, Harry thought of Draco's head on his shoulder; of the way it had felt when Draco had fallen asleep there, of the way he'd been so careful not to let it fall so Draco wouldn't wake up. He thought of the way their arms brushed whenever they walked, wands in hand, toward a dangerous location. Thought of the very reason they'd been so adamant that their wives should come with them on this mission: a truth they'd refused to confront, and that had gone and slapped them in the face anyway. 
“Do you understand how terrifying this is for me?” Draco finally said, body turned to Harry, but gaze fixed on his knees. “To know that my life as I know it, as I always expected it to be, is over? Do you think”—he looked up at Harry, and Merlin, he looked so scared Harry had to hold back from reaching out to him—“that I haven't noticed that I'm in love with Harry Potter, and not with the woman I'm about to have a baby with?” 
Harry held his breath. Searched in Malfoy's eyes, desperately, for any hint that he was about to take back his words. Then, almost out of breath:
“I'm in love with you too.”
Draco let out a desperate laugh. 
“I know that, you bloody idiot,” he choked out. “Fuck, I know.”
Harry bit his lip. Reached out, rested a hand over Draco's trembling, fisted own. 
For a few moments, neither spoke. 
“I'm sorry,” Harry murmured eventually. “I'm sorry things can't be different.” 
Draco started playing with Harry's fingers, and Harry closed his eyes—marvelled in how warm Draco's hands felt. How careful they were even as he fidgeted. 
“I'm glad they told us,” Draco said. “I want Astoria to be happy, and I know she'd never be completely happy with me.” A sigh. “I wouldn't, either. Not with her. I just… I need some time to come to terms with it.” 
Harry's fingers turned and turned between Draco's nervous own. 
“That's okay. I don't mind waiting for you.”
Their eyes met. 
“Okay,” Draco said. 
Harry squeezed his hand. Smiled. 
“Okay.”
***
The whoosh of the hearth letting someone through was quickly followed by two high-pitched squeals. By two very excited cries of, “Daddy!” 
Harry smiled to himself when he heard Draco's laughter coming from the living room as he—presumably—was tackled to the floor by Albus and Scorpius. 
“Boooys,” Harry called after a moment. “Come grab some cookies from the kitchen!” 
A few seconds later, the two five-year-old tornadoes were rushing toward the tray, barely sparing Harry a glance. Harry shook his head, grinning. 
“Where's my hug?” 
“Daddy!” Albus, face already full of crumbs, ran toward Harry's arms. “Your cookies are the best!” 
“Mmh!” Scorpius agreed. 
“I'm glad you like them.” Harry ruffled Al's hair. “Do save some for later, though!” 
Draco walked in, grabbed a cookie. “How are your mums?” he asked while he gave Harry a sonorous kiss on the cheek, the crumbs on Draco’s mouth scratching against his stubble. 
Harry was about to complain when Albus stretched his arms out, asking to be picked up. 
“They have a date today,” he—quite loudly—whispered in Harry's ear. 
“Do they, now!” 
“A date in a restawant with candles and a lot of different forks,” Albus explained. “And—and they were wearing really pretty dresses!” 
“Really? What colour?” Draco asked, picking Scorpius up too. 
“Mum's was red,” Scorpius said. “And mummy's was, uh, it was really pretty, and—” 
“And sparkly!” Albus squealed. “Black and sparkly!” 
“Wow! I don’t think Draco and I own anything so pretty!” Harry turned to Draco. “What do you think?” 
“Hmmm…” Draco dragged the sound out, sharing a mischievous look with Scorpius. “I’m not sure… I think we might have some sparkly garments hidden in the back of our wardrobe, but I’m sure Al and Scorp won’t be interested in—”
“We want to see!” Scorpius screamed, wiggling in his father’s arms. 
“We want to see, we want to see!” Albus chanted.
Harry and Draco shared a smile. 
“Very well, then,” Draco said solemnly, setting Scorpius down. “Let’s see which of you can find the prettiest clothes in our bedroom for us to wear today.” 
The kids darted upstairs, and, before following them, Harry took Draco’s hand in his and kissed his husband’s cheek in return.

So let’s talk about the newest episode of WandVision there is of course a spoiler warning from this point on
Tumblr media
First let’s talk about theories disproved
So the town is made up of the citizens of westview( as far as we know ) the fact the several citizens actors such as the milkman, mailman , and “norm” were shields of agents in previous movies is a conciedence
It’s looking like Anges is a regular citizen not Agatha Harkness, who in the comics was one of the original witches of Salem, a mentor of scarlet witch who was eventually killed by her when she went crazy and almost destroyed the multiverse, but as she was not one the citizens who was identified there is still a chance but we’ll have to wait and see
Okay so let’s talk about what still up in the air theory wise and what we do know thus far
Let’s talk about Mephisto
i still believe that this is how Marvel is choosing to introduce him since he plays an important part in wandas story arch in the comics ( for those who don’t know Wanda creates the twins using a bit of his power/soul and he arranges for them to be stolen by his minion Master pandemonium who uses them as Arms to try and regain Mephisto’s stolen power ( yes you read that right the 80s were wild)
Tumblr media
I still believe that he is the one orchestrating everything behind the scenes but I have a new theory on who he is or at least one I have seen but I’m sure is out there cause let’s be honest I’m not that creative lol
I think during the aftermath of the snap Mephisto took advantage of the chaos to take the identity of Hayward the new leader of SWORD
Tumblr media
Think about he could’ve seen that there was a chance to take power in the upcoming new agency and knowing marvel they might pull an ego, he might’ve had a had in hand in Maria’s death to make sure that he got control of SWORD and to have Monica have a personal investment in this fight
If we go with this theory that explains why he seems to have vendetta to make out Wanda as the villain and dangerous and why we didn’t see the “ footage “ of Wanda stealing visions body my guess is he is trying to alienate wanda from everyone else so she’ll have no where to turn
The reason I think this isn’t entirely wanda is because while in the comics Wanda is one of the most powerful mutants in the entire multi-verse thus far in the mcu she hasn’t shown that level of power and while I would LOVE if they gave Wanda the power and recognition she deserves I don’t think that’s going to happen given The writers treatment Of the marvel women so far and if given the chance they will make the all powerful villain who manipulating the poor defenseless female who couldn’t help but fall for his evil schemes * cue southern lady hand to forehead swoon*(oh I’m going to piss off some fanboys with that one lol) but really think about it Hollywood as a whole doesn’t like bestowing the mantle of most powerful on women or POC especially in action movies which , whether or not you want to admit it , as a genre is engineered to please cisgender straight white men but that’s a whole other debate and I’m already going off enough tangents as is
I don’t think that it was wanda who left the boundary or if it was I don’t think it was entirely of her own volition I think it was a tactic to further villify Wanda in the eyes of SWORD and cementing the distrust of her by them so Hayward can weaponize SWORD against Wanda and Vision
Expanding on that based on what We’ve seen so far from the eps and the previews it’s going to end up being a battle between SWORD/ Mesphisto who is manipulating everything and everyone to make it seem like it’s Wanda controling the town against Wanda and Vision, with the help of Darcy, agent Jimmy Woo, and Monica after they begin to realize what’s happening
Moving on to Wandas role
Tumblr media
So I agree with Visions assement that while Wanda Wasn’t initially consciously aware of what was going on she “ woke up “ at some point is now actively manipulating her surroundings and while she doesn’t want to directly hurt anyone as evident by her protecting Monica while sending her flying through walls and the barrier which could’ve killed her but should’ve at least broken a several bones but she came out with out a scratch
We can see that she knows what she’s doing is wrong but the looks of guilt when confronted with what she is doing she is trying to make sure the citizens are living as normal as possible as seen when she mentions making sure they mow their lawns and make it to their dentist appts and she thinks by controling them she’s making it easier on them but she knows it’s wrong like for example when billy and tommy ask her to bring sparky back to life the look on her face when she tells them there are certain things you can’t mess with and Vision walking up right as she says that I’m guessing within the next couple of episodes she admit to herself that what is happening is wrong
The Twins
So far in the series we see that Billy and Tommy at least posses some of their mother’s power as seen as they can age up seemingly by will power
In the comics billy becomes Wiccan , who takes after his mother’s powers and tommy is speed who inherited his uncles super speed but we have yet to see if these powers will transfer into the show
Side note if they try and change wiccans or speeds sexualities which in the comics wiccan was canonically gay and in a long term relationship hulking, who he eventually married , and Speed who was bisexual and in a relationship with prodigy I will riot
I’m guessing that mephisto is going to take the twins leading to Wanda joining dr strange in his show traveling the multi-verse in trying to find them or some version of them since we can only assume that’s how they are introducing the introducing mutants to the mcu
Speaking of introducing mutants to the MCU
Tumblr media
So at the very end of the episode they get a surprise visitor- quicksilver (which several ppl saw coming ) we see that the X-mans Quicksilver arrive at the door
While I am glad that they are reintroducing Quicksilver as his early death was my biggest problem with age of ultron, we will have to wait and see how this pans out in regards to the series as a whole
When we hear the knock we are being lead to assume same as vision that it is another diversion by Wanda which we’ve seen her do several times at this point she seems as confused as he is so I don’t think he’s appeared by her powers proven by the fact when he introduces himself as her brother she’s visibly thrown and understandably confused before hugging him
My guess is that Mephisto( who in the comics also has the power to manipulate reality tho not on the scale that scarlet witch does which is why he needs her) brought him in to distract Wanda and Vision from discovering the truth
Now we can only assume that because of his appearance that other X-men and ppl from that universe will make an appearance in the mcu but to what extent we can’t be sure yet it will largely depend on what actors agree to resign on to their contracts to continue playing their characters so we can assume that Wolverine will not be making an appearance as Hugh jackman has previously stated that he will not be reprising the role but with everyone else’s we will have to wait and see
Let me know what you guys think what you agree or disagree with, further theories etc
EDIT: I apologize it’s been almost a decade since I’ve read the series of comics feature the storyline that WandaVision were based off it was pointed to me by @Hapllucigenia123 that there were a few inaccuracies in my post
the guy with the baby arms was master pandemonium who while he was working under the direction of Mephisto is not him
the twins were made purely out of fractions of Mephistos soul in the comics and he arranged them for them to be kidnapped in order to regain the power he had lost
This doesn’t change my theories much since I don’t believe they are going to have master pandemonium appear in the series because he was a middle man and the writers are going to probably have a bigger villain name to help draw in more views.( also don’t think theyre going to have anyone use the twins as arms cause I don’t see it being taken seriously in this day and age but imagine the memes if they did lol but I will go back and fix the information when I can thank you again @hapllucigenia123 who can also be found in the comments if the tags don’t work

Day 6- Coffee shop date.
Pairing: Mey-rin x reader.
Finally it was Friday night. You were excited because Friday night is date night, the one day you and your girlfriend get to finish work early, curtesy of a very suspiciously giving demon, and run away into town to do something, just the two of you.
“Where to tonight my dear” you ask in a fake fancy voice. It gets a giggle out of mey-rin and the nickname gets a blush, its adorable that she still blushes at nicknames after years of dating.
“Oh! We could go to the new coffee shop in town, the cakes in the windows look so good!” She says dreamily. Shes always drawn in by the sweet selections in any store so youre not surprised thats why she wants to go.
The autumn air is cold as you walk down the main street to the coffee shop but as you arrive you feel the tingle of warmth come back to your skin. As the door swings open, courtesy of an over excited girlfriend, the warmth hits and the coffee smell invades your senses. Mey-rin wasnt lying the cakes in the window look amazing and youre pleasantly surprised to find they make your favourite.
“Mey, they make it, they have my favourite!” You whisper shout, just a little over excited but not wanting to embarrass yourself. She smiles and takes your hand before walking with you to the counter.
“I know i saw it when i walked past the other week, i just didnt want to tell you so that itd be a surprise when we came” she speaks animatedly and it makes you chuckle, its sweet that she still wanted to surprise you.
Shed always been the shy blushy type until a few months into your relationship after that she settled and was fairly confident and happy and her way of showing that was surprises the she knew youd like. A testament to how well you know each other you suppose but secretly to her, it was her way of thanking you for being so patient with her stuttering mess of a self.
“You order and ill pick a table, probably one near the window?” You say it like a question but you’re talking more to yourself than Mey-rin. The table you pick sits right in front of the glass windows, you can see the people bustling down the street and itd give you a heads up on the weather before you left.
Your quick table decision helps in your favour because as you take your coat off you turn to see your girlfriend almost tripping with both your drinks in her hands. Its become a habit, remembering to do things fast so you can catch mey-rin but this time, you see the danger before it happens.
You take the drinks and place them on the table before pulling the chair out for her. She does a tiny bow, which is the cutest thing you’ve ever seen and sits in the chair with a smile.
“Your cakes ladies” the waiter smiles brightly and winks at mey-rin as her plate is placed in front of her. You thank the waiter and giggle as mey flushes the same colour as her hair.
“Aww theyre flirting with you mey, how cute” she shrinks in her chair at your words before hissing out a small “stop it” and hides by scooting closer to the window when the waiter comes back to give you your milk and sugar.
“Are they gone?” She whispers before scooching back across from you as you nod.
“Youre the most adorable person ive ever met, why are you so shy, people must have fought over you before” you say matter of factly. She is adorable and pretty and extremely kind and considerate, its a wonder hoe she was even single when youd met her, you had honestly thought she wouldnt date you because she was so spoilt for choice. As mey rin speaks you find yourself to be wrong.
“Ive never dated anyone before at all, nobody really wanted an over confident sniper or a clumsy maid for a girlfriend” she speaks sheepishly her smile faltering. You hum and stir your drink, there was no doubt in your mind that everyone else must be stupid, mey-rin was a catch and the perfect partner.
“Well i do, either of them, or both of them, i love all of you” she smiles and hums at your words wistfully before turning to face you. You smile and wink as the waiter had done before but instead of getting a bashful blushing girlfriend, you get a broader smile and a very loving look thrown your way.
You eat your cakes, sharing some of your own with her when she asks for a bite. Mostly you talk about how long work has been and how youve missed each other despite seeing each other every night its still easy to find yourselves missing one another. She laughs at your stupid jokes and you poke (gentle) fun at her clumsiness this week and as you exit the store you find yourselves huddling together as the air had gotten bitter.
“My goodness its freezing” you shriek as another gust of wind pushes you towards home.
Mey-rin laughs lightly as you wrap your arm around her own and try to burrow deeper into her side. Youre right, it is freezing she thinks but theres nothing that can take away the joy and love she feels looking down at you right now, even the winter weather.

WIP Meme
Thanks for the tag @morganaseren!
So confession time. Since finishing off chapter 18, I haven’t really done much with 19. I’ve mostly been reading Masked Empire and doing research for Halamshirale trying to work out certain things. It’ll probly be well into August before I finish it, but I’m hoping I can at least get a ways along before school starts. But I do have some stuff from the original story I’ve been working on that I’ve aptly named “Knights of the Gay Table” which is about exactly what the tittle suggests: a bunch of gay ladies in an organization like the round table where they go around solving problems and such. lol dont worry that titles temporary for now and i’ll come up with a better one once its finished, i just gotta call it something for now. (quick background: Lyonesse is currently an aspiring knight trying to enter a tournament, and Florence is a blacksmith helping her. theyre totally not hella gay for eachother, no not at all just gal pals) Anyway, here’s an early WIP from that project.
           Dust danced like snow against the golden light streaming into the stables. A tan horse with white spots lifted its head and turned to watch what was happening in the back of the room. A flash of silver sliced through the warmth of the colors surrounding. A woman's huff broke the morning silence. Lyonesse drew the sword closer to her, straightened her stance, then struck out again with the sword. She frowned. That sword swing didn't seem quite right. She lowered her sword and glanced over at the open book perched on a stool. She squinted at the illustrations demonstrating the basic sword swings, and tried to walk herself through the motions in her head. Then she straightened up again and raised her sword in stance. She rolled her shoulders, trying to shift the straps of her armor into a more comfortable place. The armor she was wearing fitted her badly, and it made movement all the more difficult. Again, she tried the sword strike, and the sword spun out of her hand. Lyonesse cringed as it bounced off a wooden post and clattered to the ground.
           One of the horses behind her snorted and shook its head disapprovingly. Lyonesse sighed, "I know, I know. But it's much more difficult than it looks. Those knights make it all look so easy." She leaned down and picked up her sword, dusting it off, "And it's even harder to do with an audience."
           "You'd better get used to that if you're going to do any better in that tournament than the horses."
           Lyonesse froze at the second voice. She turned and saw a woman leaning against one of the stalls watching her. She had reddish-brown hair in a messy braid with two long thick strands hanging over one side, dark green eyes, and a face that managed to be both soft and hardened at the same time. Freckles formed constellations around her eyes. How long had she been standing there?
           "You should also learn to fasten your armor properly." The woman said as she approached. She held out a hand, "May I?"
           Lyonesse hesitated a moment, then nodded. The woman's fingers went to the straps under her arm. At once she felt the release as they stopped digging into her.
           "I'm Florence, by the way. What's your name?" The young woman asked as she worked.
           "Lyonesse." She said, feeling the invisible hands of some unknown danger closing in.
           "Lyonesse... Silverborne?"
           "No, just Lyonesse." She said, puzzled by how she could be confused with someone from that noble family.
           "Curious..." The woman murmured. A slender finger tapped lightly against the armor, "Considering that's the Silverborne family crest on your armor."
           Lyonesse opened her mouth to deny it, but knew it was hopeless. She was an awful liar, and this woman was no fool. She dropped her shoulders and her head bowed. She bit her lip nervously and waited for the woman to yell and call the guards. But she didn't. She merely laughed slightly and when Lyonesse raised her head, she found amusement in the woman’s eyes rather than the anger she was expecting.
           "Relax, I'm not gonna turn you in." She tilted her head slightly, and Lyonesse found herself being examined by two deep green irises that held all the warmth absorbed by the prairie grass in summer.

Aged up marichat where chat is being a little fart and marinette puts him into his place sassily. Angst in the beginning then shifting to fluff. But chat is justified in being stupid like he's not being whiny lol just a couple's quarrel LOL (since theyre in their 20s possoble mention at them having future kids and them being blushy bc they didnt do the shame shame bc theyre waiting for marriage XD) Lyyy scar
Heh, you're welcome @ravensink ! Don't forget to drop by more amazing requests! ;) 😏😈 Also: @miraculous-elcie-fanfics since you mentioned wanting to be tagged in my ML stories :3
"Oh? The princess isn't resting in her lavish castle with a maid massaging her feet?" the teasing voice cut through the peaceful silence and Marinette hung her head, already knowing who it was.
They've been at this for a while now.
Four years, to be exact.
She didn't turn her head to look at him, but acknowledged his presence when he jumped down from her chimney to land perfectly balanced on her balcony railing next to her.
It still amazed her how, even after he'd underwent growthspurt after growthspurt during puberty, with only her head reaching the very top of his shoulders now, he still managed to perfectly balance his large frame on the thin metal railing.
Marinette smirked at his banter. "The princess was waiting for her loyal servant to finally arrive and massage her feet for her. I must say you're quite tedious, loyal servant." the smug grin on her lips made the young man chuckle, shaking his head in amusement.
A fair eyebrow rose in question, mirth shining in those green eyes of his that had captivated her more than once, not that she would ever say that out loud. "Apawlogies princess, my services have been lacking."
The young woman laughed, the smile reaching her eyes when she glanced at him briefly. "Careful kitty, I just may be on the lookout for another tomcat." She winked and Chat had to admit it did funny things to his stomach, had since they'd become good friends.
More than that.
Comfortable silence settled between them, until Chat Noir spoke again, his voice dropping a bit deeper, more serious. "Marinette."
The use of her name made her finally turn her head, the bandage on her cheek catching the cat's eye instantly. "What?"
He sighed, swinging his legs over so that they hovered over the floor of her balcony and no longer in open air. "You should've called for me sooner."
She gingerly touched his shoulder, her smile warmer than the inviting blankets in her room. "I'm fine kitty, Ladybug saved me."
He scoffed, messy blond hair falling into his eyes. "She may always save you, but there will be a time where she can't."
Marinette sighed, knowing those words were very true, especially since she was Ladybug.
Not that her partner would know anything about it.
"Maybe...maybe there will be a time where I can't..." the solemn expression on his face and in his voice made her blood boil and Marinette leaned forward.
"Huh? Princess, wha- MEOWCH!" Chat Noir sprung back quickly, back slamming against the side of the wall as he cowered away from the lethal substance. "Hey! Cut it out! I thought we talked about this little lady!"
He hissed at the offending object held securely in her hand, a disapproving glare on her face. "Don't you 'lady' me, kitty! And I thought we said you would stop trying to protect me all the time! I'm a big girl Chat, I can protect myself!"
The woman with the hell spawned spray bottle in her hands crossed her arms and the feline hero deemed it safe enough to come closer when the deadly bottle wasn't directed at his general direction anymore.
"You can't protect yourself against akumas!" Chat Noir straightened to his full height, now a whole head taller than the angry dark-haired woman.
Marinette growled in frustration. "I did and I will! Ladybug and you may have super suits but I have enough brains to think my way out of a situation." the proud smile on her lips was there for a second, until her secret partner was on her again.
Chat Noir growled, a far more guttural and feline-esque sound than what Marinette made. "Don't be stupid! What if you get into a situation where brains can't help you?! What if you're trapped somewhere, kidnapped by an akuma or not even on land and far away? What then? Still think your creative mind can save you?"
Not willing to back down, no matter how pity their argument seemed, Marinette stood her ground. She knew Chat Noir had now way of knowing she was Ladybug, so technically she had the brains and the super suit. "I will think of something!"
Now it was his turn to cross his arms, much bigger than hers, from all the years of fighting against akumas and criminals and he leveled her with a deadpan look. "Evillustrator?"
Marinette gaped, surprised that was the first thing that sprung to his mind. "You were with me! Nathaniel was harmless! We'd been kids Chat Noir!"
He frowned. "Glaciator?"
She coughed, looking away. "Kids! Err...I was on a roof and distracted by all the candles you set up!"
His expression softened at the memory, but quickly hardened with his next inquiry. "Ignoblia?"
Marinette jaw dropped and she pointed an accusing finger at her friend. "Hey! She was a bit..too quick and...she was a superhero- villain!"
"Exactly! Proves my point purrfectly!" He smirked at the look of despair on her face, until Marinette turned her back to him and huffed.
"I see kitty is having a hissy fit!"
He didn't want to, but the jab still got him. That little minx. "How can I not when you constantly dive headfirst into danger?! Do you think I dont check every alley and every corner if I dont know you're home when an akuma strikes? I can't believe you can't see reason!" he ran his claws through his messy hair, messing it up even further.
The designer stomped her foot. "I can't believe you can't see reason Chat! Why do you even check every alley? I'll find shelter somewhere!" she rolled her eyes, irritation seeping from her every pore.
The brief pause that followed made Marinette turn her head and when she looked back at the suspiciously quiet cat, her eyes flew open.
His face was set into a deep scowl, protective rage shining brightly in the green eyes and when he took a large step towards her, Marinette nearly stumbled from his imposing presence. His voice was heavy with emotion but didn't lose its bite from before. "I just want you to be safe!"
She stared up at him, her hands raised and just shy of touching him directly, bluebell eyes blinking slowly.
Chat Noir's face was still set in that intense glare, chest heaving from his outburst, until a hand settled gently on his cheek.
He blinked, all traces of anger gone and he instinctively leaned into her touch. "M-Marinette?"
His face looked so vulnerable, so open, green eyes glistening with emotions when her name left his lips in a whisper.
"I promise..." she took a breath, but smiled warmly up at him, the hand on his cheek caressing him softly. "...to try not to get into trouble as often. And I'll have you on speed dial, okay?"
The man sighed heavily, but nuzzled her hand, blond hair still falling slightly into his eyes. "You better not furget princess."
The teasing glint was back in his eyes and Marinette gently flicked his nose. "I won't you worrisome cat."
He shook his head, smiling down at her like a lovesick fool. "Kittens...."
Marinette rose an eyebrow curiously, giggling in amusement while she gently petted his cheek like a cat. "What?"
"Our kittens will be adorable with your looks princess..." the words leaving his lips were dreamy and mumbled, the same soft look in his eyes.
Then, as if awakening from his trance, Chat Noir sprung away from the blushing woman. "N-No, w-wait! It's not- I didn't- I mean I did, but- NO WAIT!"
He covered his mouth with his hand, face an alarming scarlet, tail haphazardly moving on the floor, and Marinette swore if she'd taken a second glance, she'd seen for sure his tail was formed into a heart.
Marinette's entire face was a tomato red, her mind racing with mental images.
Of Chat Noir
And her.
And their children.
Dressed in little black cat ears and wearing ladybug themed masks.
"Eep!" the undignified sound made Chat Noir jump and it took Marinette a split second to realize it hadn't been her that made that sound but him.
Chat Noir covered his face, before he desperately tried to talk over his rapidly pounding heart. "W-Wait, it's not what it sounds like! I was- I was talking about kittens, from- from the streets and- and! Um, adopting them!" he looked everywhere but at her but Marinette couldnt bring herself to look away from him, transformed into a blushing, stuttering mess.
"Y-Yes! Pff-preciously! I-I mean precisely! Kittens! From the streets! To uh, to adopt! Not like a family or anything or uh - just uh, individually! As-as friends! Platonic! Completely platonic! I mean, of course, if you want- not I'm not forcing you, never, I mean you're my princess and lady, I could never force you, no way! No, I-"
A finger suddenly planted itself on his lips and Chat Noir's eyes flew wide open at the action, pupils zeroing in on Marinette.
A very red faced Marinette, who had a determined look on her face, stared up at him just as she stared down their enemies when in her super suit as Ladybug. "I...I think kittens would....would be fine."
Both older teens stared at each-other in petrified silence, until Marinette spoke again, the pink shade on her face growing darker. "B-But our own k-kittens...w-with Ladybug masks and cat ears...I-in a n-non-platonic way..."
Silence.
Ice settled in her stomach and Marinette's mind worked into overdrive to try and come up with a believable excuse.
Maybe it had been a joke! Of course! Chat Noir was known to make jokes!
Marinette froze when she was pushed into a solid warmth, surrounded by equally solid, warm arms around her back and one cradling the back of her head tenderly.
She could feel Chat's frantic heartbeat slowly settle down the longer they were locked in their embrace and before Marinette could form a sentence, Chat already spoke.
His voice was so quiet, she strained to hear it properly. "You know princess, I think I prefer them wearing their mama's suit more, but whatever you say m'lady."
Marinette's heart skipped a beat and she buried her face against his chest, shoulders shaking from laughter.
That dork.
Of course he knew.
But she had a little secret of her own, one she won't reveal just yet.
She smiled, her own arms wrapping around him tightly.
He purred in response.
Marinette's smile widened. "Only if they wear their papa's brand from time to time."
Chat's heart picked up in speed again and Marinette laughed.
