Watching Horror Movies Together
Super Short Headcanons || Modern Au
Genre: Fluff Featuring: Arthur, John, Dutch, Javier, Charles, Sean, and Sadie Warnings: None - super casual writing
AN: I know no one requested this but I was on a horror binge last night and couldn't stop thinking about how these guys would act during a scary movie marathon so I wrote a quick thing in my notes app to post teehee~ ---> Requests are open! Check out guidelines if you have questions
<><><><>
Arthur Morgan:
Is not scared at all - literally impossible to scare.
Thinks horror movies are predictable and kind of boring.
However, God forbid a dog dies in the movie because he will get up and turn it off and say that the writers went too far.
Grumbles and groans on movie nights where you choose a horror movie, but will always wrap an arm around you and insist of sharing a blanket because he just likes spending time with you and being able to hold you close.
Will tease you for your bad taste in movies but secretly loves watching them with you and finds himself getting sucked into them every now and then.
John Marston:
Is on the edge of his seat the whole time.
Claims he's watching them because he thinks they're funny, but actually really enjoys trying to figure out who the killer is and who's going to die when and where.
Jumps at every jump scare but acts like he didn't.
He needs to watch a Disney movie afterwards so he doesn't have nightmares. Will say it's for your sake and not his, though.
Man acts all big and bad, but once the music starts to get intense and there's a long hallway on the screen he is looking everywhere but at the TV so he isn't jumpscared again.
Dutch Van Der Linde:
Probably taking notes during psychological horror movies on how to be manipulative.
Says the killer is misunderstood or that their tragic backstory makes the killing justified.
He will eat all the popcorn and then get upset when it's all gone. Cue the puppy eyes while he's begging you to go make more.
Spends a good forty-five minutes talking about how you and him would survive the movie because y'all are so much smarter than the main characters and would make it out of there.
Genuinely believes he's invincible and could survive any scenario.
Javier Escuella:
HATES horror movies because they genuinely scare him.
Well, he can handle slashers but he hates paranormal movies since he believes in ghosts 100% no questions asked.
Loves making a snack buffet for the movie - popcorn, candy, cookies, sodas, fries, and the works.
Encourages you to cuddle into him and hold him whenever you get too scared since he's so big and brave.
Will end up being the one hiding his face in your shoulder and holding you like a teddy bear because he got freaked out.
Charles Smith:
Loves to analyze horror movies in -like- an artistic way.
His favorite types are historical horrors because so much thought goes into them.
He will watch silly horror with you, though, like Scream and Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, but will spend the whole movie making fun of you. Lightheartedly, of course, he's saying that those aren't real scary movies and that you're kind of a wuss.
The entire movie his arm is wrapped around you and pressing you deep into his side so that you can cuddle and be warm. It's a little too comfortable though and you end up falling asleep there more often than not.
Loves it when you do that, it makes him feel all soft and warm on the inside.
Sean MacGuire:
Makes jokes the entire time.
Literally has something to say every 2 minutes that has the both of you laughing instead of being scared.
Honestly, it's the only way he can get through the whole movie.
If you start getting sucked into the movie and he's too nervous to fully focus on the screen, he will start throwing popcorn at you to get your attention.
Halfway through the movie he will make you pause it so that he can have a mental break from all the scary stuff and gore. Totally turns into a make-out session and the movie is long forgotten.
Sadie Adler:
Absolutely nothing fazes her, she LOVES scary movies.
She knows all the behind-the-scenes info about every movie you watch too because she deep dives into interviews and essays after watching them the first time.
Her eyes are glued to the screen but will have you lay your head in her lap so she can run her fingers through your hair to soothe you when you get scared.
Makes fun of you when you react at a jump scare. When you look up at her with a frown, she'll press kisses all over your face until you can't help but smile.
She loves that she can make you feel comforted and safe when you're scared, secretly loves it even more when you try to go to bed after the movie and you're clinging to her like a koala because you're still a little spooked by the film.
<><><><>
I know summer isn't even close to over yet, but I am so excited for Halloween this year, so here's a little Halloween in July (think like that Gravity Falls episode)
Hope you enjoyed <3

Short and Feisty Female S/O that Likes to Cuddle
Tumblr media
Ladymogar asked: Aaaye I’m always so happy to see new writing blogs in fandoms I love ❤️ could I get hcs for Arthur, Charles, John, and/or Sean for having a smol s/o? Like short and fiesty but also into cuddly times? Thanks doll, I’ve really enjoyed your writing so far!
rdr2 masterlist
I adored this request and had to do all the characters suggested AND I added Javier because he is delicious. I would say the reader in this is under 5’5” (165.1 cm) as that is what is considered short where I am from but it’s different everywhere! Anyway, I’m glad you enjoy my writings, Hon!
I did go off this link when I think of the characters’ heights!
Originally published on March 31, 2020
Arthur, Charlies, Javier, John, Sean x Female Reader
Warnings: Pure fluff
-
 Arthur Morgan-
Honestly, for him, I think he would be so fucking smitten with you
You would literally be everything he wanted in a partner
Small (or well smaller than what he would’ve imagined) but so much cuter and god the fire in you? To die for
He can 100% see himself risking it all for you and going to settle down to have a family with you- but that’s the future for him
The present with the gang around he would be hard to read
Or that’s how he likes to imagine himself
The second you stroll up to him and have to crane your neck to look up is the second his heart melts and that gentle giant comes out (maybe for a second but everyone in the gang definitely saw it)
Your feisty side originally made him assume that you weren’t the touchy-feely type
So when you first cuddled with him he was probably as stiff as a board and awkward but with you coaxing him into more cuddles which he always accepted he has realized how much he loves them
Poor boy is definitely touch-starved so he would never ever deny your cuddles no matter what time of day it is or who is present (Though he may get flustered)
It would become one of his favorite things to do with you
 Charles Smith-
Omg for Charles since he was a loner before the group and since the group has mostly taller people he would be astounded by your height at first
I feel like he would be on edge the whole time and make sure that he never ever harms you
That would probably be his number 1 fear in the relationship (Poor babe is scared he’ll crush you with his pinky or something)
It would take him a while to get used to being in a relationship with someone as small as you but thanks to your feisty side it makes him feel more comfortable eventually
It definitely eases him that you are not as fragile as you look (though let’s be honest he probably would adore how fragile you look since he would take on the protector role in the relationship)
He knows you are fully capable of protecting yourself though
This boy is touch-starved to but he has boundaries
He would set certain times or have cuddles only restricted to nights and away from prying eyes
He tries to compromise with you but really he believes that intimate moments should remain in private and once you do get to the cuddle session he will be absolute putty in your hands (Or you will be. It probably all depends on his mood)
 Javier Escuella-
This gorgeous man would never say anything about your attitude or height… in English of course
In Spanish, he’ll be teasing you relentlessly and you’ll be dying to find out what he’s saying
Your feisty attitude with this just makes him happy (and a tad impressed if you get mad enough to try and hit him)
No one else is allowed to comment about your height beside him- You both make sure of that
He would flirt with you constantly and without shame
And that’s how you would eventually get together
When he finds out you are a cuddler?
He’ll embrace and relish in it
He’s a romantic through and through so he won’t care where, when, and who is present he will always encourage and initiate the cuddles too
Though because he is a romance it could lead somewhere else and that’s when whoever present needs to speak up is
If you are outside the camp with him expect him to expect you to remain by his side or on his arm
He just likes the fact he can proudly show you off but if it ain’t your thing he won’t force it
Is absolute favorite time with you is when the two of you are cuddling, you in his lap, and he has the guitar on your lap strumming away as he sings softly into your ear
 John Marston-
He would be the one that wouldn’t care at first
It just doesn’t catch his attention and I feel like he would try to avoid you since your small stature and feisty nature reminds him of Abigail
Though once he does give in and you two become friends he’ll start to appreciate your stature and nature
He won’t comment on your height but he will purposely place things out of your reach to watch you struggle for it or so he could be “smooth” and help you (Yes imagine the cliché thing where the guy goes right behind the girl and they touch hands or something lmao- that would be John if he likes you)
Once he is confident that you aren’t like Abigail and you won’t get mad at him for teasing or initiating contact with you he’ll become more confident
I feel like he would be the first to try to cuddle and so when you let him he would just be awestruck
He doesn’t care too much about PDA around the gang but every once in a while he’ll pull you onto his lap and honestly if you let him or encourage him- he’ll probably marry you on the spot
John will appreciate you wanting to cuddle him but sometimes he’ll have his moods where he’ll need to be alone for a while
Don’t worry though because he will come back and feel bad for rejecting a cuddle and he’ll try to make it up to you
 Sean Macguire-
Would be the one to immediately say something about your height the first time you show up in the gang
He has no shame in teasing you, flirting with you, constantly picking on you
When he genuinely likes someone he’ll seem like a bit of a jerk but the cuteness of it is undeniable
Everyone in the gang will know why he acts like that and eventually you will too
However, because of your feisty nature, the beginning of the friendship and relationship would be both of your personalities clashing
He would 100% enjoy this though where you may get annoyed beyond relief
He is the one who would pick you up and carry you around camp to either piss you off or show off your smaller stature
1000000% Would be the one to use your head as an armrest and be all smug bout it
I think in general that Sean with a very short s/o would be a hilarious relationship
He could have his romantic moments but there will be absolutely no witnesses to show this
Unless he goes to Arthur, Hosea, or Dutch for help on how to charm you (That is the only time those three will have not lost faith in Sean’s romantic life)
As for cuddling, this boy lives for it
However, his hormones also live for it so the cute cuddles can and probably will turn into something else rather fast
Again he has no shame so he would try and cuddle (and do more tbh) with the gang present

How each BAU member found out
main masterlist
spencer reid x famous!reader Universe
warnings: none
Penelope
Penny obvi knew that they were talking
She was the one that gave Y/N Spencer's number
But although she was relentless in asking Spencer updates he would never give her any
So when she sees a picture of Y/N and what the media is calling her ‘mystery man’ who looks a lot like Spencer, that's when she demands answers
It was during a paperwork day and Penny was scrolling when she found an article on one of her favourite artists with a man that look remarkably like the BAU’s resident genius
So she hastily gets up and stomps out of her office to call for Spencer
When he comes to her office confused, not knowing what at all Garcia could want, he softly closes the door and turns back towards her stern face
“What did you-”
“How could you not tell me?!”
“Tell you what?”
“That apparently things went well with Y/N? And that the reason you stayed a few extra days in New York was to see her?!”
“Shhh… I don’t want the others to know, but yes.. Things are good.”
“So are you together?!”
“Um.. Yes, last week in New York we made things official.”
“Oh, I’m so happy for you!”
“Thank you.”
“But, why do you not want the others to know? I know Derek will tease you, but that won’t last forever. And Emily and JJ will be happy for you too.”
“I know.. And it’s not about that, it’s just that- that I haven’t talked to Y/N yet if she’s okay with that. And she’s going through a lot right now and I don’t want to add anything unnecessary onto her plate.”
“Awww, Spencer! That’s too sweet. I promise not to say anything, but you know I can’t keep my mouth shut that long.”
JJ and Emily
And not keep her mouth shit long she did
Penelope had to tell someone, she was quite literally dying
But she couldn’t tell Derek, knowing there was no way he could keep his mouth shut about Spencer having a girlfriend
So she went to someone, or someone’s she knows could keep their mouth shut, JJ and Emily
Penny had told them on one of their girls nights
“Okay, I have to tell you guys something, but you can’t tell Detek, and you definitely can’t tell Spencer.”
Penelope had said coming back to the table with drinks
“Okay, what is it?”
“Our boy wonder has himself a girlfriend.”
“What?! When?”
“I want to know who and how?”
“This part you won’t believe. Y/N L/N.”
“No. Way.”
“Good job, Spencer.”
Derek
Derek, unlike the others, found out on accident
He had gotten a call from Hotch while he was at a bar, saying they had a case
And given he was close to Spencer's apartment he said he would pick up Spencer on his way
But when he knocked on Spencer’s door, a woman opened the door
A woman he recognized, having been on the case of catching her stalker, not to mention that her face was everywhere at the moment
The popstar answered the door dressed only in a pair of men’s boxers and what looked like one of many of Spencer’s sweater vests
“Derek Morgan.”
“Y/N.”
“Um, you’re looking for Spencer.”
“Yes I am.”
“I’ll go get him.”
Y/N softly shut the door after their awkward conversation and ran into Spencer’s bedroom, where he was laying on his bed, clad in a pair of pyjama pants and shirtless
“To answer your question about shrimp, the mantis shrimp can see more colours due to it’s-”
“My love, I normally would never cut off your rants, because I love you and I love your brain. But Derek is outside waiting for you.”
“What? Derek? Why is he here?”
“I don’t know, I didn’t ask. I just tried to get out of there fast because I’m only wearing this.”
“Derek saw you like this.”
“Hon, don’t be jealous.”
“Why were you answering the door dressed like that anyway?”
“I thought it was our breakfast.”
During their playful ‘fight’ Spencer got dressed and began walking towards the front door
Opening it and coming face to face with Derek, Y/N staying out of view in the kitchen
“Hey, pretty boy.”
“Hi. Um.. Wha-What are you doing here?”
“Other than clearly disturbing your romantic morning?.. Hotch called, we have a case and I was close by so I said I would pick you up. I thought you would be alone…”
“Oh, well I’ll get my go bag and we can leave. Come in.”
Spencer left the door open, walking down the hall to his room
Derek walked inside, not even having a chance to talk to Y/N, as Spencer was speedily reentering the room
He presses a quick kiss to Y/N lips, they mumble their goodbyes, before Spencer ashers himself and Derek out the door
“Bye, Y/N”
“Bye, Derek”
Y/N closes the door behind them
“You’ve got a lot of explaining to do, pretty boy.”
Rossi and Hotch
This takes place directly after Derek finds out
When Derek and Spencer arrive at the BAU
Spencer had let it slip in the car that Penny already knew
“Babygirl, you knew pretty boy had a girlfriend?”
“Yes, we all knew.”
It was Hotch that answered
“How am I last to know?”
“I don’t know, you’re a profiler you should have seen the signs.” Hotch said not looking up fron the file
“Yes, it was quite obvious.” Rossi adds
“Unbelievable.”

hi aura! i think i have mega baby fever too honestly 🙁 like ik the convo abt them and babies and marriage has died down a little but i’m sparking it back up again
so ofc we know that wandanat is older than r so i feel they’re destined to have a friend who has a child already and basically said friend asks wandanat if they could babysit and despite their busy schedule wandanat says yes cuz i mean duhh and the baby like favors r for some reason and r just eats that up they’re attached to each other all day long but no one’s complaining
i feel r would’ve had one of those summer jobs to make some extra money before university and stuff and she was probably a babysitter which is why she’s practically a natural
r would def have the baby on her lap at her computer table “teaching” them how to do cs things but it obviously fails cuz baby probably just wants to play so r and baby go to the living room and like r does that thing where u hold the baby and guide them to walk
yeah like maybe the baby is on the brink of speaking and just babbles a bunch of words and r tries to teach baby how to say some names (including her own) and words and baby ends up saying some sort of mixture of rs name somehow and baby giggles a bunch and wandanat see this and it definitely just fuels their baby fever more
especially once r and baby are worn out from playing all day r feeds baby a bottle and they end up passing out on the couch and r is protective of the baby making sure they don’t fall or anything like either baby is surrounded by rs arm or maybe baby is on rs chest
wandanat just follow r and baby everywhere around the house snapping sooo many candid photos for the future
okay that’s the end of my baby rant but i just want one so so so bad or maybe just to babysit a relatives baby soon cuz they’re all so cute
- 🦕
it’s cannon that coulson and may are together and have a little one, and they ask wandanat to babysit on a whim when they’re both called into office for a national security threat. it’s an overnight assignment and while wanda and natasha have important office things to be doing, one of the main perks about running your own company is that you’re available to help your friends when they need it. the little bean is ten months old, an age r considers the sweet spot of babyhood. they’re not just a blob that screams for milk and sleeps, but they’re not entirely mobile yet and they’re cuddly. when she finds out that the baby will be joining them for a day, she goes into mother hen mode and starts frantically picking up the living room and kitchen, making sure all the remotes are places somewhere high and that nothing fragile or sharp is within reach. the baby isn’t walking yet, but she’s cruising all tables and couches so r takes no chances about what determined little hands can reach. the candles and glass decide pieces are all locked away in a closet upstairs, and she’s pleased to find that wanda and natasha have a couple baby toys stored in the garage from when morgan was little. she turns the living room into a playroom before wanda can even come back downstairs from taking a shower.
when phil and may drop the littlest coulson off, r hangs back, not wanting to overwhelm the baby whose already upset that her parents have left. she glides around the kitchen making a snack (overly smashed blueberries and strawberries sliced to small they’re practically inedible) but she will not risk a choking hazard, so natasha doesn’t comment on the fact that the baby can eat normal sized strawberry pieces. when she does come into the living room and sits down besides wanda, whose giving the pitiful little human a bottle, she smiles so softly as she glances down at the little angel dressed in a chaotic blend of colors. she has a sneaking suspicion coulson dressed the little one and they were in too much of a hurry for may to get her redressed. the baby looks up at her and it’s literally game over after that, she reaches a hand out to r, completely transfixed on her to the point where wanda pulls the bottle away in fear that she’ll start choking. r laughs when the baby practically launches itself at her, tiny hands clapping against her cheeks as the little one babbles. they’re inseparable after that. r has the baby either on her hip, cradled to her chest, or they’re both laying on their bellies on the floor of the living room. r makes colors seem like the most interesting thing ever. she’s holding up little plastic blocks and giving full monologues about the color and what else in the world is that color. she practically kills natasha when she gets to the green block and goes, “greens the best color in the world. your aunt wanda and aunt natasha have the brightest green eyes, and sometimes they look like soft blades of grass in early spring, but sometimes, when they get all mean and scary, they look like a forest in the middle of summer that’s three seconds away from being filled with fireflies.” and the baby just drinks up every little word that r says as she chews on her fist.
a couple hours into babysitting, both wanda and natasha have things to get done in the office, and the baby is meant to be napping so they see no problem with sneaking away for a couple of hours, but at the first pitiful whine that slips through the monitor, r is going and picking them up, bouncing around the nursery as she sings a soft song that’s in no way a lullaby, but the baby doesn’t know that. she decides against sleep, and takes the baby to her office where she tries to show them about coding, but tiny hands keep banging against her keyboard and while it’s adorable, she doesn’t want to have to get another one, so she brings the baby downstairs. they have a bottle and a cuddle on the couch, and when wandanat find her again, they’re both sound asleep with a cartoon muted in the background.
when coulson and may come back for their little one, wanda and natasha are quick to offer to babysit whenever it’s needed, eager to fill their camera rolls with more pictures of the two precious girls that have wormed a way into their hearts

MAJOR MARINEFORD SPOILERS.
gonna make a little rant on Deuace because they're silly and I love them and they need to be talked about more. also because while reading the biography of the Spade Pirates and Deuce, I found things which I now can't stop thinking about it.
Tumblr media
for those of you who don't know, Striker is that small, single-sitter boat Ace used to transport himself with, which was fully adapted to work through the power of his Devil Fruit — I haven't properly read Episode A but Deuce was the one who built that for him when he and Ace were ship wrecked on a desert based island named, Sixis.
Deuce recovering Striker and repairing it after Ace's death makes me sick to my stomach because oh my god, that's the boat he built for his LOVER.
could you imagine the surging amount of memories that would flood through Deuce's mind every time he travels with Striker ? memories of them in Sixis, of when he initially tried to kill Ace (😭), of when he first built Striker for himself and Ace, of him travelling with Ace on Striker.
Tumblr media
then there's him literally journaling his adventures with Ace and the Spades. I could imagine these times where Deuce would open up that withering journal and would read through whatever experiences he had penned down, glancing at the dates they were written on and just beginning to recall all of them.
his eyes visibly softening whenever he reads through wherever he described Ace's cheerful demeanour, reckless tendencies or whenever he would talk about Luffy and Sabo.
Tumblr media
him becoming a journalist who specialised in writing about the Straw Hats and Revolutionary Army is just so ohmyfuckinggod because just imagine — Deuce writing about something related to the Straw Hats or anything to do with the Revolutionary Army and he's just like, “They're at it again, Ace,” with this little fond smile.
Deuce refusing to publish anything about Ace despite Morgans' attempts at persuasion is so heart wrenching because his experiences with Ace are intimate and special, they aren't to gain the attraction of the public nor is it for their entertainment.
Tumblr media
the trust, the loyalty, the faith — oh, I'm sick to my STOMACH, I'm literally throwing up everywhere.
I'd like to imagine this sense of faith for Ace from Deuce is that he believes his Captain could go against all odds but also is conscious of how Ace is still very much human in spite of how strong he is.
Tumblr media
official art by Oda Eiichiro, Japanese manga artist and author of the series, One Piece, of Masked Deuce and Portgas D. Ace passionately making out WHEN❓️

Theatrical Romantic (TR): Kibbe ID Exploration Through Media
Let me begin by saying that its best to think of Kibbe as a set of archetypes (its called Kibbe Image Identities, not Kibbe Body Types for a reason) and to use it as a fun, creative & useful tool for self-presentation and not something to scrutinize your own appearance with (I blame social media and media in general for how obsessive women get with this).
Now let us begin. This is my new series, I'll be making a detailed post for each Kibbe ID (of which there are 13). I thought I'll begin with TRs as they are the most misunderstood and purported to be the rarest.
I think its important to analyse Kibbe IDs in relation to the character tropes most associated with actors who belong to each respective ID because this is the way that reveals the essence of an ID most clearly and also because (and most people overlook this) Kibbe is literally based on the old Hollywood star system.
Little rant: I get really sick of seeing people on the Kibbe subreddit analyse the size of their hands or the breadth of their shoulders or whatever when so much of it is just based on vibes :/ and the kind of vibes your physicality gives off. Ok rant over.
Character Tropes/Typecasting:
I have noticed that TRs are often cast as aristocrats, literal royalty or just someone upper-class and tend to play very sophisticated women.
Tumblr media
Morgan Fairchild & Joan Collins (both verified TRs)
Tumblr media
Priscilla Presley (unverified TR) played Jenna Wade on Dallas in the 80s. She described her character as "Jenna is her own woman. She's extremely self-reliant, she has lived in Europe and has a child. Just like me. Except that she's a bit more sophisticated than me. She has a lot of integrity, she's totally honest. I like her. How could I help but identify with her?"
TRs often come across as very self-possessed, intimidating, strong, free thinking and hard to "tame".
Its funny to me that this character was later played by Morgan Fairchild (verified TR) after Priscilla left the show
Tumblr media
They literally look SO similar. the 1930s-1940s period and the decade of 1980s was the heyday for TRs and they were everywhere & kind of overrepresented in the media.
I find this very interesting because TRs are often typecast as rich bratty girls or rich manipulative women. In the 1930s the US economy was experiencing the Great Depression and the wealth disparity between the rich & the poor was at its peak. In the 40s due to wartime production, the US finally climbed out of the great depression and it was a period of economic uplifting. During both these periods TRs were kinda everywhere in the media and film noir cinema was also very popular (I'll explore the link between TRs & this genre in another post). Movies depicted opulence & glamour & TRs were there to play those roles. Film noir can be understood as a reaction to the paranoia & general mistrust of the Great Depression and these movies were often very sexually charged as well. This is where the "femme fatale" shines.
Its so weird how they're practically extinct in the public eye now because of the homogenization of fashion/style/body aesthetics and every body looking like a copy of each other. To embrace your ID is to celebrate your unique presence and embrace individuality.
Tumblr media
this same character was also played by Francine Tacker and look at how different her presence/vibes come across as. Both Morgan & Priscilla kind of radiate a similar aura of sensuality, affluence and they don't really seem like people who will take shit from anyone. Francine looks much sweeter and more girl next door not a posh bougie cut throat kinda woman. Again this is just based on VIBES which is how casting works. An actor needs to LOOK convincing as the character they are playing.
Tumblr media
Joan Collins' character on Dynasty really exemplifies this. She plays Alexis who is a manipulative, scheming but sophisticated antagonist. She's described as "passionate, shrewd, and vengeful, Alexis loves her children fiercely and will do anything to protect them, but she often ignores their own needs and desires in place of what she thinks is best". Collins described her character as such:
"I went into the show, I was told that it was a failing show and that it was about to be cancelled, so they expected me to bring something to it to make it much more interesting to the viewer. That was a challenge, and it wasn't necessarily all in the writing. But I did find that the character was multifaceted, and wasn't just the plain old straightforward bitch type. I tried to give her a sense of humour, I tried to give her vulnerability, because she was betrayed by her ex-husband and her whole family, and I tried to bring other dimensions to the character."
It's vv imp to note this because TRs don't play supervillains or straight-up evil people, they're kind of bratty, and a little uppitty but it's mostly all in good humour and they have their reasons for doing so. They're not evil without reason. Their "bitchiness" is usually a mask for their vulnerability.
Tumblr media
Scarlett O'Hara is also a REALLY good example. There is a reason why Kibbe said Vivien Leigh is THE prime TR example. If you've watched the movie you know that Scarlett is a bratty rich girl who uses other people and learns her lesson far too late. She is also a victim of her circumstances.
youtube
I feel like everyone associates an RBF with Vivien Leigh and does not see how kooky, playful and kind of silly (although mean and bratty as well) her character was. This is what TRs are like, they look bitchy but they're actually only mean in a playful silly kind of way.
Tumblr media
This Jada Pinkett Smith in the 90s. A lot of people only know her in her current pixie cut form so they're confused by her being typed as a TR but if you watch her old stuff or look at pictures of her from when she had long hair, its vv apparent that she's a TR.
Tumblr media
Her daughter Willow looks so much like her (this is a pic of young Jada)
Its crazy how styling can hide or enhance so many things. Jada comes across vv differently now than she did in the 90s.
TRs are often typecast as spoilt brats who are a little dim-witted. They have a dry sense of humour and can come across as cold/mean/blunt. Even when the character isn't actually rich, they still come across as bratty.
Tumblr media
Alex Russo is a good example of this (played by verified TR Selena Gomez). Alex is good-natured and means no harm but she's often rude, sarcastic, conniving and manipulative.
Tumblr media
Jackie Burkhart (played by verified TR Mila Kunis) is yet another good example of this trope.
youtube
TRs are often cast as drama queens and they KILL it in these roles.
Tumblr media
Morgan Brittany played Vivien Leigh (both verified TR) in 3 different movies. Their resemblance is uncanny as are the vibes they both give off.
Tumblr media
She's best known for playing Katherine on Dallas. Her character was very scheming & conniving.
youtube
This is a very interesting video of Morgan speaking about how she tried to emulate Vivien's "essence". This was in the 70s pre-Kibbe but I feel like she was intuitively employing the same techniques.
Tumblr media
Donna Mills (verified TR) is best known for playing Abby Cunningham on Knots Landing.
Abby's storylines focused on business dealings, affairs and family troubles. Introduced as the sister of Sid Fairgate, she was initially portrayed as a friendly, warm-hearted woman with great love for her children. In due time, she evolved into the series' main antagonist, constantly causing mayhem in others' lives. According to series creator David Jacobs, the producers always intended Abby to be a J.R. Ewing-esque character. Jacobs said, "When we were casting the role of Abby, we were looking for a homey type, someone whom the other women characters would trust. It was our intention to have this nice person gain the trust of the other women and then cause trouble for them. We didn't want the other characters and the audience to know that there was a scheming person under this nice facade. We wanted her to come on as a good person and then evolve into a vixen." The character became known for her manipulative behaviour and was often labelled a "soap vixen".
This pretty much sums up the TR cinematic typecasting lol. They're innocent seeming vixens. Their "femme fatale" essence comes through with their scheming & manipulating, they're not action heroines who kick ass, most people now associate "femme fatale" with someone like Angelina Jolie but back in the day it was a charming innocent alluring woman who manipulated you and ruined your life.
Tumblr media
Salma Hayek's first & only telenovela Teresa had her playing a young woman who uses her beauty & manipulation tactics to climb out of poverty.
"Teresa is a beautiful and intelligent young woman desperately seeking to get out of the grinding poverty of the neighborhood where she lives. Resentful of the miserable life that took her sister, she plans to use her beauty and intelligence to enter the world of luxury to which she wants to belong.
To this end, she enters her classmate and friend Aurora's group of friends. There she meets Aurora's cousin Raul, a young but neurotic millionaire with suicidal tendencies. Telling Raul that she is rich, coupled with her beauty, Raul becomes smitten with her. Even though he and Aurora discover that Teresa lied about her wealth, Raul is obsessed with her and forgives her.
Fearing that their opposition to the relationship will end with Raul's suicide, Aurora's parents accept the romance of Teresa and Raul. However, Teresa discovers that her deceit and ambition leads to unhappiness and loneliness." (Wikipedia Plot Synopsis)
I feel like most verified TRs have played a character that uses their beauty/schemes etc to get ahead in life only to realize that it makes them deeply unhappy. Its kind of the OG TR trope.
This is also what sets them apart from other villainous or evil characters. They have goodness in them to make them realize they're wrong. Also their schemes are often used to comedic effect and they're not straight up cold or ruthless, they're slightly slow and dimwitted (charmingly so).
Voice & Mannerisms
I have found one of the most distinct TR trait is their voice (usually low pitched, kinda husky) and also HOW they speak. They almost always come across as either
a. bubbly, playful, dry humour, little snarky and sarcastic
b. very well spoken, sophisticated, elegant, ladylike
or usually a combination of the two.
youtube
Jane Seymour (verified TR) look at the way she speaks, behaves
youtube
She's very playful but elegant and poised
Here's a bit where Selena speaks about her low pitched voice.
youtube
Salma Hayek (verified TR) honestly watch any interview of hers to get an idea of the traits & qualities of a TR. she's very feminine, very poised, very graceful yet silly, playful and can be very sarcastic and also does not take shit from anyone. That's the femme fatale essence for you.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I hope this post helped shed some light on the nature of TRs.

I feel like Luke could also call them baby girl (ik its Morgan's thing but imagine Luke saying it) or pretty girl
Also think about Luke worshipping reader. Like full on having notes in his phone or on paper with favorite foods, flowers, music. Everything! And also just nsfw worshipping obviously
i love the idea of him calling his partner 'pretty girl' that would actually have me weak at the knees. and i do actually kind of see 'baby girl' as being something he would say but derek saying it is so ingrained in my head that it is hard to really see it any other way, if that makes sense? but i absolutely see it
and now... the worshipping, oh. my. god. he would worship his partner, it would be beautiful. here's just some thots;
SFW
starting with the safe for work things, he is very very sweet, like he has a couple of notes in his phone full of lists, lists of your favourite foods, stuff that you have mentioned that you want and present ideas, date ideas, so many things
also, we know that luke usually cannot cook for shit but he would absolutely learn for his partner, he wants to be able to cook their favourite things and give them the perfect date nights
like, he is downbad for his partner and it's honestly a little embarassing
but he would also constantly give them little kisses on the cheek/forehead etc. and he would get blankets to wrap them up if they were cold
i also would say that this is NOT one-sided like worshipping because his partner would absolutely be the same
like they would be a tooth-rottingly cute couple, constantly talking about each other, bigging up their achievements, lists and notes about things to do, constant text messages
aND luke would always get a postcard for his partner from the places he went for work, sometimes they'd be blank, sometimes he'd write to them if it was a hard case and then they'd be given to his partner whenever he got back
like they are on his mind 24/7 and they would get constantly praised, CONSTANTLY
NSFW
now, the nsfw worshipping... well
he is a giver
luke alvez is a giver and i will take no criticism on this
he would literally settle between your legs and stay there for fucking hours if you would let him
like he would want you to cum before him and as many times as you'd let him, like he absolutely is a giver and the whole time he is between your legs, he is fucking praising you constantly
he wants you to know how pretty you are, how beautiful you are, how much he loves you letting him do this, literally the most filthy shit would come out of his mouth and he would just have you folding in seconds for him
he is also just very skilled with his mouth, he would kiss you everywhere and he can do magical things with his tongue, whether he's kissing you, he's between your legs or he's kissing your body, he's so fucking good at it
and he does in fact kiss everywhere, not a single part of your skin is left untouched by his lips (within your boundaries obviously) and the whole time he is telling you how perfect and beautiful you are
okay and also, if you have stretch marks/scars/marks that you don't like, he will give them special love
like if you have stretch marks on your belly, he will press kisses across them and tell you how you are breah-taking and the marks on your skin don't change that, whether you have them or not, he would absolutely adore you either way
luke just wants you to know how perfect you are and he would make sure before he got his own release, you were feeling so loved and worshipped
i feel like false god by miss swift is very luke-coded in this situation like "Religion's in your lips / Even if it's a false god / We'd still worship / We might just get away with it / The altar is my hips / Even if it's a false god / We'd still worship this love"
like luke would just absolutely worship at your feet and he is a fucking simp for doing it but he loves it
and even when he inside you, he's still constantly praising you, telling you how perfect you fit around him, how perfect you are and how much he loves you
and if you ride him? oh. this man. he is seeing heaven, he is gone, like he would praise you even more,
this has just turned into me rambling about luke & a praise kink but... he would play into it if you had one and he would fucking worship every part of you while praising you endlessly
this man loves his partner, nobody can change my mind
im a whore for luke alvez, that's all.

"The Antidote Is Ethanol" …or more specifically, it is "Beer; The Goddam Staff Of Life"...
As promised, here’s a more thorough discussion on the symbolism around ethanol. This is an updated version of this post, and I first wrote about ethanol after FTWD 4x16 aired back in 2019, read that post here.
Tumblr media
In TOWL 1x4 "What We", we saw Rick and Michonne escape in a yellow car loaded with ethanol. I knew the symbolism was the same that had been explored back in season 4 of FTWD, and I knew the ethanol in the back of Richonne's car represented a sort of "cure" or "resolution", it represented a way to restore and rebuild society.
In FTWD 4x16 "I Lose Myself", we saw Martha, the villain of the season, try to kill Morgan and company by poisoning their water with antifreeze:
Tumblr media
Antifreeze will in some cases contain methanol, and the antidote to methanol poisoning is simply "ethanol", which, according to Morgan Jones, is just a fancy word for alcohol:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ve always said that the spin-offs of TWDU provide an excellent insight into how the symbolism is meant to be interpreted, because where symbolism can be intentionally vague and ambiguous on the main show, the spin-offs function as literal blueprints on how to interpret it. And basically the entire back half of season 4 of FTWD was all about ethanol, or more specifically, beer…
I feel pretty certain that "beer" was the single most uttered word of the entire season…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You get the picture. Season 4B of FTWD was the Season of the Beer! The entire back half revolved around the many excellent properties of beer. And after some time, we started to see what TPTB were trying to communicate with all these beer references. It became clear that they were using it as a metaphor for restoring and rebuilding society:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Basically, beer is the...
Tumblr media
There you go. It's the goddam staff of life!
It's a diet staple! A prerequisite for living.
It represents life and the living. And it is resurrection symbolism.
In short, the season was all about Morgan and company deciding their purpose in life was to help others. The villain of the season, Martha, did not agree with this approach. She believed helping others made them week, and her solution was to kill everyone so they could be strong in death rather than weak in life. These are themes we see everywhere in TWDU, strong versus weak, life versus death. Martha represented death, and everything she said and did was associated with death and dying.
When she poisoned their water with antifreeze containing methanol, that in itself was a reference to a scene from TWD 4x4 Indifference, where we saw Bob and Daryl come across some walkers in a gas station. They had comitted suicide by drinking antifreeze, so "antifreeze" and "methanol" was already established as symbolism representing death all the way back in TWD season 4, which incidently is the season when Beth had her very first "ethanol" drink ever...
In fact, I dare say the entire storyline of Beth suddenly craving alcohol (ethanol) for the first time ever was specifically written to provide a counter point to the death symbolism around the antifreeze/methanol introduced in 4x4 Indifference. And that's why they had her reference the side-effects of bad moonshine (containing methanol) in 4x12 Still, such as blindness (and death). Her newfound enthusiasm over alcohol (ethanol) was meant as a contrast to the death symbolism around antifreeze/methanol from 4x4.
Because, the opposite/antidote to all of Martha's death and destruction, was "ethanol".
Tumblr media
And for TD, this is massively interesting, because we all vividly remember this scene from 4x12 Still:
Tumblr media
What Beth is referring to here, is that moonshine can contain methanol when it's not produced under optimally controlled circumstances, and it can certainly make you go blind (a well known side effect of methanol poisoning), that is if it doesn't kill you first. And much like bad moonshine, antifreeze sometimes contains methanol.
Methanol represents death, but the antidote is ethanol, which obviously represents life. Beth referenced the methanol/antifreeze/death symbolism, before she drank the literal antidote, ethanol/alcohol. That's some solid resurrection symbolism if you ask me. Beth knew what was good for her. She needed a drink, a real drink, one with ethanol, and she went out and got it. Girl knows how to stay alive!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We've seen how beer represents resurrection before, such as in TWD 2x4 Cherokee Rose. The Cherokee Rose is a resurrection symbol, and in 2x4 Daryl paired it with an empty beer bottle, meant to give Carol hope and strenght. However, the resurrection symbolism of it didn't apply to Sophia, it was reserved for a different "lost" girl, which I discussed in more detail here.
Tumblr media
We also saw it in FTWD 4x13 Blackjack, when Luciana meets the badly injured trucker Polar Bear. His last dying wish is a cold beer, and Luciana manages to find him one. As a token of gratitude, he gifts her his notebooks, in which he has details on where he has left ample supplies along the roads, supplies that will help countless people survive. After he is dead, Luciana buries him and places a beer bottle on his grave.
Tumblr media
The beer bottle is in this case synonomous with the cross (representing resurrection) that are typically used on grave markers. The beer bottle on Polar Bear's grave is also synonomous with the Cherokee Rose Daryl placed on Carol's empty grave back in season 3, also outlined in the post I linked to above.
Tumblr media
So yeah! The ethanol in Rick and Michonne's yellow truck comes with a rich context in TWDU, and it most certainly represents "the antidote", or a "cure" if you will.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cheers!
(Side note: The symbolism around "beer" is also closely linked to Beth through the North Star/Polaris/Compass/navigation theme, and by extension the “bear” symbolism (through Ursa Major and Ursa Minor/Great Bear and Little Bear) which I have discussed in many posts through the years, such as here, here, here and here)

Father Feelings 》 The Baby Fever AU
Loki Laufeyson x fem!Reader
Request: "I need more of Loki doting upon the reader while they were pregnant. He would always be around reader & always had his hands on the baby bump & constantly talked to his child inside the womb." - Requested by @aagn360 ! 😄
Summary: Since you discovered that you were pregnant, Loki is super protective and doting upon you...
Warnings: fluff, fluff and fluff
Word Count: 2,2k
a/n: Thank you for this sweet request! 🥰 I really hope you like what I wrote! 😊💚
Tagging: @lokisgoodgirl @lovingchoices14 @evelyn-kingsley @jennyggggrrr @acefeather2002 @lulubelle814 @vbecker10 @theaudacitytowrite @lady-rose-moon @ficitve-sl0th
If you want to be added to my Loki Taglist, let me know! :D
Link to the Baby Fever AU Masterlist
Tumblr media
I loved Loki. I really did - with all my heart, but sometimes he was a tad too protective. Especially since I broke the news to him, that we were pregnant. Not that I didn't like it, gods no! But he exaggerated it sometimes...
"Babe..." I literally whined, digging the heels of my hands into my eyes. "Get away from the door and let me go, please! The girls are waiting!" "No." He stated, crossing his arms over his chest. "Why not?" "We discussed that already, darling. I am not letting you go out alone at night, while you are pregnant." I let out a frustrated groan. "And that's okay, babe, but I am not alone and it's just a visit to the cinema! It's not like we are going to a bar with drunk men everywhere, or go on a pub tour. It's not even a mission! It's everything but dangerous!" "Cinemas can be dangerous, too. What if you are choking on popcorn?" Seriously? He pulled the popcorn card? I rolled my eyes, sighing. "Babe... Don't be ridiculous." "I am not being ridiculous." He argued, stepping closer, "I just want my girls to be alright and protected. I don't want anything to happen to you. Or even worse… Lose you..." and placed both his palms on my bump. At his words, my expression changed immediately. There it was... Loki's actual problem. His fear of loss. I gave him a compassionate look, cupping his cheek and grazing my thumb over his sharp cheekbones. "Lokes... you won't lose us, because of a cinema visit. You'll never lose us, I promise." He looked at me; his eyes no longer the ones of a God, but a frightened boy. "Yes?" I nodded and stood on my tiptoes to kiss him softly. "Yes - and besides, what could happen to me? I've got a Black Widow, the Scarlet Witch and the girlfriends of the mighty Thor and the Iron Man by my side. These girls would guard me with their lifes... Trust me, we are protected." Loki squeezed his eyes shut, but nodded. "I can't keep you from going anyway, can I?" "Nope..." I giggled and kissed him again, before I passed him by, heading for the door. "Y/N, please just look after yourself. Call me, if you need me." "Promise." I kissed him a last time, before I left our apartment and went for the communal living room, where the other girls already waited. "Sorry for the delay... Lokes detained me quite a bit." I gave them an apologetic smile. "Let me guess..." Started Natasha with a knowing smirk. "His liability to overprotection?" "Yup." Natasha rolled her eyes, still grinning. "Knew it." "Gods... He's worse than Thor..." Jane stated, giggling. "And even Tony." Pepper said, referring of course to her pregnancy with Morgan. "I hope Viz is not going to be like that, when we decide to have kids..." I sighed, scratched the back of my neck. "I know - and I love him for that, but sometimes it's a tad too much. Although, I can't blame him. He's been through a lot..." "Well, that's quite true..." Agreed Jane. "And it's super cute anyway. I mean... Men and babies, come on!" "Gosh, yes." We all had a laugh together, before Nat linked arms with me and Pepper. "Shall we, ladies?" "With pleasure." I smiled.
The visit to the cinema had just been one example. But there were, of course quite a few more...
I was just standing in front of the printer, waiting for the device to do its job, when I felt a pair of strong hands settling on my hips; palms gliding to the front to rest on the clearly visible baby bump. It caused me to smile. I knew, of course, exactly who that was... "Do you have an appointment, Mr. Laufeyson? You know that no one gets an audience with me without having an appointment." I teased him, knowing how ridiculous he thought of that concept. Loki snorted out a laugh. "I certainly don't care, if I have an appointment or not. I want to see my wife and nobody is going to forbid me that." I giggled softly, "I know that you don't care - and I love it." before I tilted my head to the side, so that I was able to kiss him. "Why are you here, though? It's shortly after ten. Don't you have a meeting about that new mission?" A mischievous smile darted over his face. "Yes, I do, but my clone makes a good work in staring boredly at the presentation of Rogers, so..." "I see, mischief." Loki just chuckled low and pulled me closer. "How are you and our baby girl doing today? I didn't hear you leave this morning." Since I discovered that I was pregnant and therefore couldn't go on missions anymore, I had a talk with my other fellow Avengers and Nick. Together, we decided that I could switch to working for S.H.I.E.L.D in the months, leading up to the birth. I was very happy about this solution. I wouldn't have wanted to just sit at home the whole time and be useless. Gods, no...                                                                                                      I didn't work as an agent, of course. Loki was strictly against it. "Certainly not, darling. I am not letting you work as an agent for S.H.I.E.L.D... Their missions may not be as dangerous as ours, but you never know. You wouldn't be the first agent who get hurt or even killed on a mission." And so, I was now here for the office busywork - but like I said... It was fine for me and my back and feet were thankful for this job as well. "We're fine, just a bit tired." "Didn't you sleep well last night?" Loki's voice was laced with slight worry. "No, no, I did sleep good." I said, shaking my head and shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe it's just the whole being pregnant thing..." "Or you are working too hard?" I knew that was coming... It was always a part of his argumentation. I rolled my eyes, but smiled, before I turned in my lover's embrace. "I am not, Lokes. It's not that. I mean... What do I do? I mostly just sit on a desk and go through reports, sort out files and do other boring office stuff. Nothing too exhausting about this." I wrapped my arms around his neck and placed a soft kiss on his cheek, trying to calm his upcoming overprotection down. But Loki being Loki, he raised a suspicious eyebrow. "Are you sure about that? If not, I'll have a serious talk with Fury and-" Once again, I rolled my eyes with a smile and interrupted his sentence, by pulling him in a passionate kiss. A good way to shut him up. "It is quite rude of you to try to distract me with your sinful lips on mine, darling." I shrugged my shoulders, giving him a cheeky smile. "But it works." "You are lucky, I love you, my queen." I giggled at his sentence, wanted to answer him as a knock suddenly sounded on my door. "Agent Y/L/N?" It was Maria's voice. "Nick wants to talk with you." "I'll be in his office in a minute, Maria! Thank you!" "Alright, I'll tell him." Her steps subsided again. "Well... Seems like I gotta go now - and you too, mister. I heard this mission is important." A smug smile tugged at Loki's lips. "Not nearly as important as my girls." Loki placed both his hands back on my growing baby bump and pressed a lingering kiss on my forehead. My heart threatened to explode with the love I felt for this man. "I love you so damn much, Lokes." He chuckled softly at my words and brushed a loose strand of Y/H/C hair out of my face. "I love you, too, darling. And I love our child." He kissed me once again, before he stepped back, "I'll see you later." and vanished into thin air.
Yeah... His overprotection could be quite a pain in the ass sometimes, but I nevertheless loved him for being exactly like that.
And then there were moments, where I just basked in Loki's doting attention...
I had barely crossed the third month mark, when I woke up one morning, slumped tiredly into the bathroom to change - and then noticed that my S.H.I.E.L.D uniform didn't fit anymore. I just couldn't button up the black trousers... "Oh come ooon..." I huffed, a frustrated groan leaving my lips. I looked down to see where the problem was - and only then noticed my sleepy brain, that my belly was slightly swollen. A tiny baby bump had just appeared, seemingly overnight. I blinked, couldn't quite realise it. I was so stunned, I didn't even notice how the door to the bathroom got opened... "Darling, what's wrong?" Loki's voice suddenly urged to my ears, ripping me out of my trance. "Nothing, babe... It's just, uh..." A smile darted over my face, as the realisation finally dawned on me. "My trousers don't fit anymore. Guess I have to ask Nick for a new pair." My husband frowned. "Why aren't your trousers fitting any- ohhh..." As soon as his eyes landed on the still unbuttoned piece of clothing, it dawned on him as well. "Yeah..." His oceanic blue eyes met mine again, a smile creeping up his face. Before I could even say more, Loki got down on one knee in front of me, so that he was at eye level with my belly. Carefully, he brushed the fabric down my legs again, giving him free access to touch the tiny bump. He pressed both his palms gently against it, completely in love. I just watched him with tears in my eyes and reached out my hand to brush his long, raven-haired curls back; enjoying this precious moment. When his orbs met mine again, they were also brimming with tears. Oh, how much I loved this vulnerable, soft side of him. He smiled a teary smile at me, before he redirected his attention to the tiny life, growing inside of me. I felt how his lips grazed my skin, peppering the bump with soft kisses. "I love you, Y/N. And I love this baby so much. How did I ever deserve you?" I cupped his cheeks in my palms, tracing his sharp features with my thumb. "You deserve the world, my love. You've been through so much. Life didn't always treat you kind, I know. But not anymore. You've got me now; we've got this kid - and we will be a wonderful family." Loki didn't answer, stayed silent for a few moments. "You are incredible, darling, do you know that?" I had to giggle at his words. "Yeah, I know. You told me before, babe." Loki stood up again, took my hands in his. "This is all I ever wanted. You and that baby - this life - is my true glorious purpose." A tear escaped the corner of my eye, clearly triggered by his loving words. I stood on my tiptoes to capture his lips with mine.
From that day on, he used every opportunity to touch and kiss my baby bump - even speaking from time to time with Ella. It was the cutest thing ever, and I enjoyed every second of it...
I couldn't tear my eyes off the sweet sight in front of me. It was already quite late. All the lights were out, except my bedside lamp. I laid in bed, actually wanted to read, but then I got joined by my husband, and now? Well now, he was laying on his stomach, between my legs. He used my left thigh as a pillow, while one of his hand was intertwined with mine, the other was draped protectively over my baby bump. He had snatched the book out of my hands, wanted to read for us, but now, soft snores were escaping his lips. He just slept in like that, while reading. It was too cute to handle.
I just stared at him, with a smile on my lips - until I felt suddenly a strong kick against my bladder, causing me to hiss in pain and move, what in return woke up Loki again. I felt how he stirred and slowly lifted his head. "Is everything alright, love?" He asked in a deep, sleepy voice. "Yes, Ella's just been kicking me, is all. Go back to sleep." "She kicked?" "Uh.Huh." I saw how Loki propped himself up, got on his knees, the muscles in his bare upper body flexing quite deliciously. Sleepily, he rubbed his eyes to fully wake up, before he placed both his palms back on my baby belly. "Well, hello there, sweet princess." He spoke in a soft voice, receiving a soft nudge against his palm in return, causing him to chuckle. "Can't you sleep, baby girl?" Another nudge. "Why not, huh? Was it because I stopped reading to you and your mama?" Ella kicked me even stronger. "Ow!" Loki chuckled and pressed a kiss on top of my bump. "I take that as a yes. Sorry, my darling." Loki grabbed the book, which had almost fallen off the bed after he had slept in and opened it, picking up his reading where he left. I just smiled, thinking to myself, what a wonderful man I had by my side. I couldn't have wished for a better man to be the father of sweet Ella.

i dont know why people think the last person to join the crew is going to be anyone other than vivi. where are your eyeballs.
okay so. lets start from the current one piece opening, op 26 us by hiroshi kitadani, this shot right at the end of it of the full crew, notice anything?
Tumblr media
so. the shot is mostly mirrored, with the crew being organized (roughly) by when they were added to the crew, but only chopper doesnt have a character mirrored with him. they easily couldve put chopper in the middle, btwn usopp and nami, to mirror the shot, but they didnt. so, who could have been added to the crew around the time chopper was added? hmmm its almost like they travelled w a certain princess and her roadrunner duck. ah, right. vivi!
okay and some of you out there are going "oh but bonney is gonna be protected by the strawhats!" shes gonna go with kuma to the revolutionary army or some shit. vegapunk has entrusted her to luffy, yes, but i can not see luffy bringing a mostly dead kuma everywhere he goes when he has a perfectly good brother and father that want to take kuma in and would gladly welcome bonney too.
"but what about the vegapunks" theyll go to dragon, their friend
"but what about kizaru" why do some of you people even want him in the crew like srsly. i cannot imagine having his annoying ass on the crew
yamato is the only argument i will hear. see, yamato, in a surprise twist, didnt join the crew, partially because, like oden, yamato wants to protect wano, and foreign threats can be a little stronger than wano's current power level without kaido who significantly reduced their fighting capacity. so, yamato's going to travel around wano, get stronger, while momo and the akazaya also get stronger, and he's not gonna leave until after blackbeard comes knocking w caribou's info on the location of pluton
meanwhile, vivi is quite literally on the run from the world government, hiding in news morgans fuckin airship with wapol, while luffy and gang have just met up w dorry and broggy. lots of alabasta saga names coming back huh? its almost like dorry and broggy might reunite w vivi too? like come on, news morgans is totally gonna want to go to elbaf to see what the fuck luffy's gonna do next, and vivi is finally gonna get her second chance at freedom

beta read by @cowboydisaster, divider by @saradika
Tumblr media
The look shared between you and the 10 foot tall bantha says more than words ever could. 
“I am not riding all the way to Mos Espa on a bantha.” You announce, going on instinct to fold your arms in defiance across your chest, before realising your hands are bound. It frustrates you even more and you huff, one more mishap away from stamping your foot like a child.
Arthur seems unphased by your tantrum. Amused, even. 
“Well, you got two choices, Princess. You can ride up there with me, or I’m sure Boadicea here will gladly drag you along behind…” You roll your eyes, sighing in great defeat, hating that you’ve lost so much control of this situation so quickly. And of course he’s named the damn bantha. 
“Your ‘choices’ suck, you know that? It’s not a choice if one of the options is death or getting dragged across the Dune sea by my broken limbs.” 
Maker help him, he laughs, taking that as answer enough and hoisting himself up onto the saddle by the stirrups. You watch on, unimpressed, as he places his helmet back on and it hisses quietly.  He extends a hand out to help you up and shuffles back in his seat.
When you figure out how exactly this is going to work, you feel your throat dry up, more so than it already is from 18 hours exposed to the elements of the desert. He wants you in front of him, where your back will surely press up against his chest, literally caging you in with those huge arms to keep his hands on the reins. All that contact… 
“No way. We’re not gonna both fit on there.” You shake your head, taking a step backwards. Arthur doesn’t flinch, knowing if you ran now you’d be dead in days, especially with those cuffs on.
“You shoulda’ thought about that before you tried to knock me out and run away, little mouse.” 
Anxiety bounces around your frame at the idea. Ever since that night, the one that changed everything, you hate being touched by others, especially in such close proximity. But what choice do you have? It’s getting hot, and you’re not sure you’d survive a trek across the desert on your feet… Plus, possibly more terrifying than death by sand, he was just touching you everywhere, during your fight. And somehow, you didn’t hate it. It wasn’t like every other time you’ve been touched… The feel of his hard body covering the length of you, his bulge prodding firmly against your thigh as he pinned your wrists down deep into the sand… 
You’re getting distracted. 
“Urgh. Fine. But don’t get any ideas, beroya.” You lift your wrists, letting him grab your hands to help you mount Boadicea. When you swing your leg around, it settles you into the saddle, up close and personal with your captor. His hard chest presses firmly against your back, thighs around yours and crotch in serious danger of grinding up against your ass with each step the bantha makes. You think back to the fight, expecting to regret it, but instead find yourself trying awfully hard not to think about how thrilling it was to have a big, bad bounty hunter on top of you like that…
Maker, what has gotten into you?!
Well… nothing. Maybe that’s the problem… you swore yourself away from all of that after you were shown just how cruel the Galaxy can be, all too focused on the plight of survival once you became such a high value target. But now… well, it’s clearly messing with your head, because there is no way in hell you should be thinking about the hard-on of the man destined to be your end… You make a mental note to get laid once this is over… If this is over. 
When Arthur clicks the reins and Boadicea the bantha starts to walk, you clamp your jaw shut and your breaths come out as sighs, in an attempt to show him just how furious you are at this turn of events. The grinding of your teeth is all part of the act, you tell yourself, and not at all a method of distracting yourself from the ripple of muscle you feel pressed flush against your back. You can feel him breathe, could swear you can feel a soft thrum of his heart as the scent of campfires and cigarettes infiltrates your senses. He’s all consuming, in the most infuriating ways, shuffling logic right out of your mind. 
There’s a tension in the tiny gap between you, one that spikes every time Boadicea moves in a way that presses your ass further up against Arthur’s crotch and you’re sure his breath hitches at each point of contact.
“So-” He starts, his voice sounding almost strangled, “How’s a pretty little thing like you end up on the Outer Rim’s Most Wanted list?”
Ah, perfect. Small talk about life’s greatest traumas to distract you from the fact you now know your captor has the biggest dick in the Galaxy. Unlucky for Arthur, you’re not exactly in a sharing mood, so deflection it is.
“Sorry, beroya, the tragic backstory package is locked behind a level of friendship unattainable to the likes of you.” As an added effect, you move your wrists around so the metal of the cuffs clinks against your belt. A reminder of the situation, if you will. 
“Aw, shucks, and here I was thinkin’ you liked me.” He’s all bravado, slapping his thigh comically. You don’t laugh. “Well, just so you know…” He leans closer, and his breath tickles the back of your ear sending a shiver all the way down your spine, “I don’t like you either, princess.” 
Now that does draw a smirk from you. Ugly words are one thing, but biology doesn’t lie, and Arthur’s is screaming the very opposite. You adjust yourself in the saddle again, feeling that very compelling evidence to the contrary rubbing against your flesh.
“Coulda’ fooled me, cowboy.” 
Being situated in front of him, you don’t see Arthur’s hand coming, don’t realise whats happening until gloved fingers wrap around your neck, thumb and forefinger pressing firmly against the pulse points on your throat. You gasp just in time to capture just enough breath for the Mandalorian to trap in your lungs. He’s so close you feel the cool metal of his helmet against your skin, the way he’s holding you forcing you to crane your neck back into him.
“You’re playing a dangerous game, pretty girl. Be careful, mesh’la. Do you really think that’s a good idea?” His warning is growled into your ear, slightly gravelly through the helmet, and you swear you’ve never felt a heat burn so fiercely everywhere. Fuck, the way he’s holding you is possessive, wanting… It ignites a very dangerous flame you’d rather not address, but the way you squirm, that little whimper that escapes your parted lips, says everything that you’d never admit aloud.
You couldn’t even if you wanted to, especially when he squeezes just that bit tighter and you feel your heart beating in your flushed cheeks. A witty retort would be just in character, but words fail you as your binded hands attempt to scratch uselessly through the leather of his thick gloves. Boadicea continues her trek, unaware that you’re all but soaking the poor girls saddle through.
“Just cause you’re pretty, doesn’t mean you can get away with just anything. Not with me, sweetheart.” You hear every rasp in his voice, the years he’s lived and fought branding it like scars. When he relinquishes the pressure, just a little, the blood rushes back into your face and you know it’s your turn to talk. He’s expecting obedience, and you’ll be damned if you comply, even if he holds your lifeforce between his thumb and forefinger. 
“You… You think I’m pretty? Gee, Arthur, I don’t think you’re supposed to-” He doesn’t let you finish, the frustration at you manifesting into another soul quaking growl as he squeezes harder.
“Do you really think that behaving like that is going to get you want you want, you little brat?” 
…Kriff. You’ve been labelled as difficult before, but never in a way that leaves you panting like this. Fuck, this is not how it’s supposed to go. He’s going to have you killed, and yet your panties are soaking through. You’re losing the last scraps of power you once clung to so vehemently… but Maker does it feel good…
“Listen here, Princess. I ain’t blind, alright? You’re a pretty girl. But I ain’t stupid, either. Half the time I can’t tell if I wanna kill you or fuck you, but that don’t mean shit, cause ever since I got those binders on you, you’ve been mine, alright? So shut that pretty little mouth of yours before I shut it for you. Now, are you gonna behave for me? Or am I gonna have to force you?”
The defiance that blazed in your eyes dies there, your mouth opening and closing pathetically as you fail to find something to say. All you can do is nod, the small movements he’ll allow of you, at least. 
“Good girl.”
You gasp out for the dry air of the desert, and it feels like being washed under a stream after the longest drought. Your fingers rub over the reddened skin of your neck, easing the ache just slightly. 
Arthur grabs the reins again, smacking them lightly to speed Boadicea up. 
You say nothing, trying desperately to extinguish whatever the hell is happening between your legs.
Tumblr media
Half the time I can’t tell if I wanna kill you or fuck you.
I can’t tell if I wanna kill you or fuck you.
…kill you or fuck you
The words swim around your mind for the next few hours of the silent, torturous ride. The desert air is hot, but you’d rather marry a wookie than ask for the water your throat is crying out for. The tension between you and Arthur hasn’t dwindled for a second, and you’re putting more blame on that than the suns beating down on you relentlessly for your flustered state. The only relief you get is from knowing its just as hard for Arthur… literally. Knowing he’s just as uncomfortable, all thanks to you, is all the consolation you need. 
The skies are starting to cast an orange glow across your skin as the suns both begin to reach the horizon. You’re not too far out from Mos Espa now, but Boadicea is slowing significantly, and you can tell she’s ready for a break, so it doesn’t surprise you when Arthur swings his thigh from around you to dismount. He leaves you sitting there for a moment while he pulls off his helmet, hanging it next to the saddlebag that he pulls an oat cake out of for Boadicea . 
“There, there, good girl…” he coos to her, patting her thick fur. His words of praise bring you right back to when he said that to you, and it infuriates and arouses you in equal amounts to remember the moment. You hate yourself for it. It’s a vicious cycle that leaves you dizzy. 
Eventually, after petting the only woman you’re sure Arthur Morgan will ever love, he returns to you, holding out a hand to help you down,
“M’lady.” He nods sarcastically and you roll your eyes, making a point to slide off the saddle without his help, landing less than gracefully and taking a second to steady yourself. Arthur shakes his head as he watches you, before turning back to the saddle bag and pulling out a variety of things you’ll need to camp. 
“We’re stopping here?” You ask, voice a little hoarse from the dehydration and protestful lack of speech. Looking around, you can’t see anything but sand. You’re less than enthusiastic about a night here, alone with him, but you’re not exactly the one making the decisions here.
“Well, unfortunately for us, your highness, the palace was booked full, and we’re in the middle of the Dune Sea.” He explains while he starts to unroll the singular bedroll. You sit down in the sand, crossing your legs beneath you with a childish pout on your lips. Oh, how you wish you could get these damn binders off. They’re so uncomfortable, and it’s been hours. 
Arthur gathers enough dry wood from around the area to build a decent fire, dusting the sand away and setting them up like he’s done this a thousand times over. You know the feeling, so long ago forced out from your home and set on the run for the remainder of this lonely life. It makes you wonder if Arthur has a home of his own, a family. Watching him as intently as you are, seeing those tired eyes… somehow you know he doesn’t. Maybe once, maybe in a different life… but you know the look of loneliness well, you see her every time you come face to face with a mirror, and he embodies it. As sad as it is, it makes sense. A loving family man just wouldn’t be cut out for this kind of life.
There’s only one sun left now, the skies above a stunning gradient from orange to purple, all the way to the inky blues on the other side of the horizon. It takes Arthur no time at all to have the fire going, positioning his bedroll out next to it. He gestures for you to sit on it, but you’re stubbornly deciding the sand a few feet away would be better. Arthur snorts,
“Suit yourself.”
He returns one last time to the saddle bag, pulling out some cans, a flask, and a pouch of something wrapped in cloth. By the time he sits beside the fire, it’s roaring
“Hungry?” He asks, extending an arm to offer you the flask. A hesitation, while you decide if you’d rather kill your pride or die of hunger and thirst. It’s a tough choice, but you eventually nod and take the flask in both hands. It takes you a second to figure out how to open it with bound hands, and Arthur seems to take great joy in your attempts, until you manage to squish the flask between your knees and twist the cap off. It takes a lot of restraint to not gulp the whole thing down when that first drop hits your tongue, but both of you still have a ways to go before your destination, so you don’t. The pass back is reluctant, as is the tiny ‘thank you’ you mutter under your breath.
“Oh, look at you, princess, finding your manners.” He takes a sip of his own, starting to unwrap the little parcel to reveal some slices of meat and pulling a knife from his holster to crack the tins open. Part of you wants to prove his point, to growl at him and fight back, but you’re pretty damn hungry, so you stay quiet, silently plotting another escape.
As Arthur starts to work on the food, pouring beans into a little metal pot, he glances at you, finding amusement in your tantrum. 
“You gonna come join me for some food or keep sulkin’? Either way’s fine by me, I’ll have your extras if you don’t want ‘em.” It doesn’t take very long at all for the beans to cook when he holds them over the flame, the aroma reaching your nostrils soon enough. Even for just beans, it smells good, probably cause you haven’t eaten since back in the Cantina, which feels like 3 lifetimes ago right now. Your stomach grumbles pointedly, and you’re forced to swallow your pride and gracefully stand, stomping sand everywhere as you sit right on the edge of the bedroll, as far away from Arthur (by mere inches) as possible.
He raises a taunting brow, “For someone who acts like they hate me, you sure do find ways to get real close to me.” Line thrown, hook absolutely smothered in bait.
The fury in your eyes gives the campfire a run for its credits, “Well if that isn’t the Quacta  calling the Stifling slimy- you’ve been all over me since the Cantina, rubbing your cock against my ass for the last day!”
You know the victory is Arthur’s with the way he smirks at your outburst, like winding you up is his favourite pastime. He’s holding back a laugh, you can tell because his crows feet crease deeper and his lip twitches. Hook, line and sinker. 
There’s a pause, surely being spent figuring out how else to annoy you, before Arthur picks up a slice of the jerky he brought and offers it to you, “...Want some meat?” 
… You’re going to kill him in his sleep. 
Too hungry to refuse, you snatch it off him and take an aggressive bite, the eye contact you’re shooting lasers with never breaking. Maybe it’s the hunger talking, but it tastes so good you almost moan. Almost, though your furious facade might have broken for just a moment. He’s waiting for gratitude, but you have other ideas. 
“I’m not fucking you.” You announce, so out of the blue that Arthur almost chokes on his meat. Now that’d be a sight to see…
“You said you didn’t know whether to kill me or fuck me,” You explain, I’m just telling you ya’ ain’t got chance of either.” 
The offended guffaw you’re after never comes, in its place a look so intense you feel flames lick at your toes and travel up between your thighs. 
“Listen, mesh’la,” He growls the sarcastic term of endearment, and you vibrate, “Just cause I can’t decide if that pretty throat of yours deserves my blade or my cock doesn’t mean you’re getting either. I’ll have you, but only if you’re on your hands and knees begging me for it. I’ve got your fiery little temper worked out, and I know just what fuels it. Don’t worry, little one, you’re safe… for now.”
Dank farrick, how does he do it? Every attempt to rile him thwarted, leaving you flustered, wet, and with your jaw so slack you could catch flies. Maybe silence is the best option, to give him none of your words to twist and pull into whatever this tension between you is. 
You’re not going to fuck him. 
He’s literally holding you prisoner. 
You’re not going to fuck him. 
He’s bringing you back to them. 
You’re not going to-
“Y’alright there, princess? Keep lookin’ at me like that and I’ll think you’ve changed your mind.”
“You’re infuriating.” You spit back, finishing the last of your jerky with another angry bite.
“And here was me thinkin’ we were becoming friends…”
Tumblr media
“What?! No. Nu-uh. No way.”
“Well I ain’t leaving you to run off on me. I’m not an idiot.”
“That’s up for debate…” you mumble, just loud enough for him to decipher your words. You’re not helping your case, Arthur holding his hands out expectantly as he awaits your compliance.
“Arthur,” you start, realising you’ve never actually said his name out loud before, liking the way it feels forming on your tongue, hating that fact. “Neither of us are gonna sleep a wink if I’m strapped to you.” 
He has little other choice. You know that, knowing there’s no way he’d trust you to not stab him in his sleep and run away. Smart guy, considering you’d already considered that very plan extensively. But no, he had to be difficult. He’s already stashed his knife with Boadicea, who is laid too far away to reach.
“Hindsight is clear as day, Princess. Maybe next time don’t try to run.” Pfft. Next time. There won’t be a next time, thanks to him. 
Running out of patience, Arthur takes a step towards you, and you take one step backwards. He reaches for the binders and you lift them away. It’s a dance, one he quickly tires of and grips onto your forearm before you can move it. 
His touch burns your skin, even through the gloves, and the fight leaves your body near instantly. His grip is firm, bruising, almost, and that devilish part of you enjoys it.
Would being chained to him for a night really be so bad…?
“Fine. Whatever. But keep your hands to yourself, mando. And you better not snore.”
“Of course, of course… wouldn’t wanna interrupt that beauty sleep, now, would I?” He sarcastically huffs, wrapping rope around the middle part of your binders that keeps your wrists together. Watching him twist and turn the rope around his huge hands does something to you, and you start to wonder if this man can do absolutely anything that won’t turn you on somehow. You’ve gotta knock this off, it’s getting dangerous, especially considering you’re about to share a bedroll tied to him. 
His rope isn’t the longest, giving only a few feet of space between the two of you as he loops it through his belt and around his own arm, knotted so intricately it would be impossible to untie without waking him up. An expert in rope tying… of course he is.
Pushing thoughts of other uses for that skill of his far, far away, you watch your escape plan fall apart before your eyes, every detail somehow preemptively thwarted by Arthur’s actions as if he could read your mind. Maker, you hope he can’t, they’ve been pretty much in bed with him since he bought you that drink back in the Cantina. 
Arthur sits down in the sand, the rope tugging at you to do the same. Notably, he leaves the bedroll for you, situating himself on the ground as far away as the rope will allow. And they said chivalry is dead…
“So we just… sleep? Here?” Your brows are pulled together, a sure sign of how displeased you are at this whole situation. 
“Well I could read ya’ a bedtime story, but some say I don’t get the voices quite right…” By the time you go to glare at him, he’s already laying in the sand, gazing up at the sea of stars. You sigh, taking that as answer enough. 
Silence, just for a moment. 
“G’night, princess…”
“...Goodnight, beroya.”
