#nat writes SOMETIMES

[heatherstyles]

darling, my demons look like you

Summary: Falling in love with such a dangerous man never felt so right back then. Four years is a long time. But not long enough for the tomb in Caroline’s heart to close completely. This is the last time, she tells herself. She’s not running away from him anymore, she decides.

She's leaving him behind.

So I finally completed this fic that I wanted to publish before 2022 ends. I finally had the time to sit and go over the final touches when I was tested positive for covid. I'm so excited for you guys to read it. (but don't get your hopes too high up cuz I'm still a newbie at writing) Here's a special thanks to @morningstargirl666 for being such a great help throughout the process💗 You're the best.

Kudos and comments are very much welcomed and appreciated!! Thank you❤️

Oh, oh, oh! Regarding the little piss kink. I also think maybe Wanda would be more into it? Wanda and Natasha are mostly always on the same page, but I could see something where R is veryy sleepy or maybe not sober and lets it slip to Nat unknowingly. Before bed, Wanda telling you to ‘go potty and wash your face’, and you’re like ?? “Mhm, Mommy, sometimes you like when I hold my pee.” And Nat’s like oh? hmmmm?

Silver told me to tell you they're officially diagnosing you with piss kink, nonnie

But yes, I do agree; Wanda's more into the day-to-day controlling little aspects of your life in general so I could see where if this became a thing, it'd be something Wanda took over!

Consider what you said happening like, after Natasha picks you up from a night out drinking with your friends and the whole ride home you're just drunkenly mumbling you have to pee and Nat's stressed about her car, "Yes okay, I hear you! I'll drive faster just don't piss on my leather seats." Completely unaware you've got no intention of messing up her car because in exchange for letting you go out without them, Wanda instructed you to hold it all night. She just... forgot to mention this to Natasha; she got distracted.

So then when you get home you're just wandering around the house looking for Wanda and Nat's very intent on following you to make sure you don't drunkenly topple down the stairs or think some random corner is a bathroom instead, all the while trying to persuade you to just use one of the like, three bathrooms you pass on your way to Wanda, but you simply won't? And it's confusing the fuck out of her.

And Wanda finds you two eventually, Nat having whipped out her phone to text her wife to come save their drunk idiot of a girlfriend from whatever she told her to do. Obviously you're so excited to see her, both because you missed her and because not peeing while intoxicated is really hard actually, but it's worth it because she's so proud of you. "That's my good girl, you did such a fantastic job."

But after she tells you to go get ready for bed and you finally explain to Natasha what's going on, she gives Wanda a look because she's just spent the past hour being so confused by your behavior and she thought it'd been a one time thing, but Wanda just shrugs, "I don't know, it's fun. I kinda like it and I think she does too."

#poor Nat has no idea wtf kind of things Wanda gets you into sometimes #also y'all have gotten two ph blurbs this week instead of the fic I've been trying to finish for kinktober so uhm.. it is what it is #private hire au #wandanat x reader #motts writes.

Me: *introduces a new element into the story that ~ surprisingly ~ hasn’t been mentioned at all before now*

Character: How??? Did I??? Not noticed this??? Before????

Me, the author, who hadn’t thought of it until now: *sweating* Yeah..... so weird how you didn’t notice it..... before......

You know, I've never had a writing crisis as bad as the one I have right now. I can't overcome it. I know what to write (I have tons of notes and a plan), I want to write because I want to finally finish this story, but whenever I sit to write it feels like a chore. I'm invested in the world but not invested in the words and I don't know what to do. I try not to think about the story as being bad but what if it's bad? I have fun rereading things I've written but what if it's all rubbish?

I felt something similar writing my previous story and it was at the same point. It's the "after climax crisis" I guess. Like I've lost all the fire even if I know it's not done and there's another "mini climax" afterwards that I want to reach. But the first time it still didn't feel like this. It was something to push through to get to the excitement again. Now it's just... idk. Ugh, I'm so frustrated!

What really worries me is that I don't think the characters in this story (Project Soulmate) have distinct enough voices. It really bugs me. Le sigh.

#nat tries to write #sometimes I really wish I had a writer friend to talk to and share my stuff #I would know if it's worth pushing #what if it's just boring? #I describe chaos and destruction and raw emotions and it still feels flat somehow #is it me or is it the story? #help

I'm in Greece! I'm visiting my grandparents and will spend the next two weeks working on my novel, reading books and doing some work while sitting in their garden or patio

#nat talks #books #bookstagram #did I bring too many books? naturally #am I a little depressed? of course #BUT I'm having a good day today and I think life is all about those little good moments #also realize how lucky I am to be here #they're getting older so idk if I would get another chance to come here #especially since my brother's getting married in the middle of summer next year and so maybe they won't go to greece at all #who knows what will happen after that #because they spend half the year in sweden and the other half in greece #I found really cheap tickets too #gonna try to just live with my emotions even if they're sometimes bad #idk maybe I'll write more about it later #me

i've been trying to stay positive about yjs all season because i desperately wanted to keep loving it but after last night's ep i just cannot pretend it's well-written anymore. that was the most nothing, poorly-paced episode i think we've gotten, at least for an ep that should be a CRUCIAL turning point. there was virtually zero exploration of the worst choice the teens make in 96 (the ritual discussion should have been a fucking bottle episode, tbh, with all that should have gone into it), and too much time spent recapping what we already knew in 21 (without it actually meaning anything/changing the characters when they learned). oof. just truly disappointing tbh.

#yellowjackets spoilers #anti yellowjackets #i guess #still watching but this was such a let down #also this is a warning bc i know sometimes you wanna keep your dash all positive so! be warned i'm gonna...not be 100% anymore #still shipping my girls with every fiber of my being tho and i DID thrive on the little banter we got #and yes part of this is me being salty about nat's 180 apparently being real?? and then also stupid bc the way lottie shuts her down???? #the second she tries to actually follow that ~growth and heal??? #(not to mention lottie's plan making LITERALLY NO FUCKING SENSE even in a religious offering way. idk man. i'm. frustrated) #wistfulwatcher text #and yes i know i just reblogged that post about not blaming writers so TO BE CLEAR i blame the 'writing' as in however this all culminated #between script and execs and so on #mine

[wayhavenots]

look how else does Ava think she'll get over her feelings after The Kiss with Rider if not because she has done it before, with Nat?

#sometimes when i write/am thinking about navery or rava #nate or ava will just casually mention their past romantic relationship with adam or nat #and nobody bats an eye avery already knew rider already knew it's just me the author being pikachu faced

[deus-and-the-machina]

I feel like I keep seeing this happening but it frustrates me when a popular show gets hyped up then has some mediocre writing and people act like it's now become to worst thing ever. girl people stuck out for goddamn supernatural this is nothing.

#this is mainly about yellowjackets like yeah the second season wasn't perfect but it was also not as bad as some people claimed #I get you're upset nat died but that doesnt make it bad writing why are you getting upset at the explicitly dark show for not giving a #character a happy ending and there was the thing with the actor wanting to leave as well but outside circumstances aside I thought #the parallels of nat letting javi die for her vs not letting someone do that for her again were interesting #idk I just hate that it didnt take much for people to sour on the show like cmon it wasn't THAT bad #plus like. we still have the teen timeline she's still gonna be around as a character and ngl im more interested in that so maybe it doesnt #bother me so much but yeah. I cant really recall the last time people weren't upset about a character death and I feel there's a knee-jerk #reaction of calling it bad writing which I even agree with sometimes so im disappointed but not surprised. #siren says #writing stuff

[sheryl-lee]

yellowjackets rant time :)

people whining that natalie’s death was “shitty writing” makes me want to bang my head against the wall. like are you seriously shocked that the show about tragedy and murder has tragedy and murder in it. are you seriously shocked that the show about fucked up people has fucked up people in it.

#same with people who hate van and lottie and tai and shauna and misty and ben and whoever the fuck else for being 'bad people' #'i can't root for these characters!!!!' like lmao way to miss the point of the entire show janet #they're all traumatized people (many of whom experienced that trauma as CHILDREN) and have done awful things and will do awful things again #INCLUDING nat like im sorry you believed that she was the moral compass when the show never explicitly told you that #she's just as fucked up as the rest of them. and thats what makes her interesting #that's also what makes her death compelling and. sorry. WELL WRITTEN #it's tragic and cruel and preventable. and that is the point. #sometimes characters die in media. lmao. and sometimes it isn't well executed #but this was. and it has been set up for a long time if you go back and watch the prior episodes #i understand disliking the finale or the season or whatever. not mad about that. #what i am mad about is equating a personal opinion as an irrefutable fact and proof that the writing is shitty #and sending literal death threats to the writers and creators of a show that have put a lot of work into it #like at the end of the day it's a tv show for entertainment. and you can and should be able to love a character #while ALSO understanding when said character's death is emotionally necessary in a story. #i love nat. but i also understand that her death fits the story. that doesn't make it bad writing by any means #okay im done now #sameera.txt #yellowjackets #yellowjackets spoilers

[heartslobbf]

yj is fascinating to me. i watch the silly finale. i giggle. i think huh that's interesting. i go yepyep they're still not interrogating race and disability and consequently having some racist and ableist implications in their narrative. i whoop and cheer when coach ben says fuck them kids and tries to burn down their little cannibalism cottage, not because i think they deserve to die but i think it's deeply funny that ben Did That. what a guy. coach 'i can excuse burning like 12 children to death but i draw the line at survival cannibalism' ben. yes thats his legal name <3 anyway misty girls stay winning

#if i was going to actually write on this show id have a lot of mixed things to say #but i mostly go to yj for the goofs and the gaffs. like i think they need to lean into the absurdism 100x more #it neeeeeeeeds to be a comedy horror. to ME #sometimes the drama works really well and other times well its just a bit goofy. doesnt make it bad but i dont think its the intent lol #nat's death is not a bad writing choice but the execution for me was a bit off #and the ableist implications of killing the recovering addict #they could still have her die in that exact way but they need to interrogate these issues to dispel those implications #otherwise its incredibly easy to read it as punishing an addict. so i completely understand that criticism #things i enjoyed: misty shauna's ritualistic killing timeout the adam storyline wrap up (sooo funny just get elijah wood to kill a cop) #callie!!!!!!!!!!! obviously ben lol. travis eating his little brother's heart (guy who has only seen rgu watching yellowj--) #when shauna looked at callie kind of smiling at the end ohohohohhohohohohoho #again: MISTY. THE IMPLICATIONS #anyway hwatever maybe i will write something on yj. was thinking of being annoying and starting a substack #shut up daisy #yellowjackets

[cogentranting]

My hot take is that the Avengers never felt like a found family because they were never intended to. They were always meant to be a group that comes together and then separates again as needed. They're friends. Coworkers. But they were never meant to be a family.

The only exception is Natasha-- for her they were a family. And her bonds to the other Avengers in general are more significant. She's unquestionably family with Clint. She's very close with Steve. SHe's got mentor/big sister relationship with Wanda. She and Tony are close. She and Bruce had their romance. So for her specifically there is a found family aspect that's legitimate.

But for the others, I don't think you can criticize the Avengers for not feeling like a family because they're not supposed to.

#mcu #avengers #because it keeps popping up in response to how good the found family dynamic is in gotg 3 #which it is! #it's great #and you can be disappointed that avengers didn't go that route but its not a flaw in the writing that that isn't what they were going for #and personally i think by its very nature it couldn't be the found family story people wanted it to be because its impermanent #I do think the cap team-- steve sam nat and sometimes bucky and wanda DO feel much closer #THEY are maybe a found family #but even then #i think they are more about friendship #a really tight bond of friendship! #and i think its important that some relationships are allowed to just stand as friendships #and i think the avengers have a good friendship dynamic too #but by its nature it is not the CLOSEST friendship set for any of them (again except natasha)

In Ph, in what way would Wanda say her safe word to Nat?

You've reminded me I have yet to finish writing the safewords fic, whoops.. anywayss...

Those two are tricky with safewording because not only did they start out with like... careless hate fucks, neither of them were naturally good at communicating their boundaries. Add in their tendency to lean into risky sexual behaviors and really, there was a bit of trial and error at the end of the day.

Thankfully what Natasha lacks in communication, she makes up for with being highly observant. She knows full well Wanda comes from an environment where boundaries weren't allowed for her and if anything made her uncomfortable, voicing those concerns wouldn't amount to much; so she had to learn through nonverbal cues.

She noticed pretty early on that Wanda, who's typically super vocal, goes quiet when she's too overwhelmed and Natasha's check ins go from "stay with me, Maximoff" to "can you tell me how you're feeling, my love?" as time goes on and they get more enamored with each other. The next trick was ensuring Wanda was being truthful if she mumbled she was fine or just shook her head because again, Wanda really struggled with honestly speaking up.

On Wanda's part, she still prefers touch over speech and took to stroking her fingers over Natasha's palm whenever she wants her to slow down or stop. If her hands aren't within reach, she'll do the same over Nat's stomach or shoulder; whatever part she can manage to get to. When Natasha gives her a break, she'll pull away, but most of the time, Wanda needs the closeness and fidgets until she's cuddled and feeling secure.

Nat finds it's best to stick to yes or no questions so Wanda can either nod her head or provide one word answers, even if it means she has to spend a little more time getting to the root of the issue. Wanda's thankful for Natasha's patience though; from the first time they started working on safe words, she's always respected them, no matter what or when she uses them.

#she cares a lot your honor #Nat's also just very protective so sometimes she falls into being like Too Soft with Wanda as a precaution #but that's a story for another day #this is probably a longer headcanon that you wanted but it's SO FIN #private hire au. #wandanat #wandanat headcanon #maximotts 2nd anniversary #motts writes. #maximotts

[woulddieforloki]

currently obsessing over the idea of Thor and Loki reuniting sometime long after The Dark World (possibly during Ragnarok but that movie doesn't really fit the vibe so probably not) and Thor being pissed that Loki didn't tell him he was alive and obviously they get into an argument about that and finally Loki just cuts him off by yelling, "You didn't even come back for me!" and Thor's like ??? and Loki's like, "I waited for you! I waited for hours and you never came back for me. I sacrificed myself for you, and you left my body in Svartalfheim. You can't blame me for not seeking you out when you abandoned me first!"

#i don't have a fic to put this in but I want to #sometimes i think about writing an Age of Ultron scene in my 'clint adopts loki' fic #so that i can get to AoU and the avengers walking into the barton house to find that loki's already there #so i can write some Big Brodinsons Drama(tm) #but then i would feel like i have to write a chapter where loki meets nat first (which I did start but I never finished it) #and honestly that's a lot of work just to write this one part lmao #anyways this has been swirling around in my brain for a while now and if I cant write it in a fic I'll write it in a tumblr post instead #brodinsons #fic idea? #back on my bullshit

hi nat I had a thought I just wanted to share: imagine being Bert’s thicc muscle gf and for fun while you’re at the beach with him and the rest of the gang you decide to see if you can crush a watermelon between your thighs, and you do, and the poor man goes beet red from the top of his head to the bottom of his toes. He gets extremely flustered and ends up hiding from y’all for like an hour because his cock is rigid and everyone saw his instant boner through his swim trunks and started teasing him ☺️

BFJDNDJFJFJDMDJDVRJF

GAAAAAAAH TADO!!!!! YOUR MIIIIIIIND!

so perfect!! gods. As soon as the first small cracks in the melon allow juice to start dripping from between your thighs he's a fucking goner!

Connie's the first to notice. How's he so ridiculously observant at the most inconvenient times!! And gods, having him, Ymir AND Porco there to rag on him. Poor Bertito. He just wants a giant sand crab to appear and consume him whole.

But also. Like he peaces out so quick, even though it's so awkward running with a boner that just woooont go down. Ends up back at the beach house yall are occupying for this vacation (thank Hisu's parents!) Lucky it's just yalls group with this private beach. (like seriously THANK YOU Hisu's parents!)

It's hard to deny how cute he is with the way that ruddy blush blooms beneath that tan skin from his chest all the way up to his forehead.

Still, you gotta do your due diligence and tell off the trio for makin you're mans so embarrassed! Not that any of them care. But at least you got to mess up Pock's perfectly coifed hair before you head off after Bert. (Makes the jackals turn to making fun of him then)

Bertie's locked himself in your shared bedroom. Locked meaning he's taken solace standing at the furthest wall, door still slightly ajar cause even in an embarrassed fit you won't catch this man slamming doors, desperately trying to think thoughts that'll get his boner to go down. unfortunately for our boy, nothing is erasing the image of how your muscles bunched and strained so beautifully while working to crush that fruit. Gods. Why couldn't that have been his head? Life just never goes his way it seems.

When you make your way inside the room he doesn't notice till he hears the soft click of you closing the door completely. And not that he'd managed to stave off any blood flow at all but there's a whole new resurgence seeing you there in your beachwear. his eyes still haven't adjusted to the dimmer light of being inside but he's basically got you memorized anyway. just seeing your shape is enough to get his blood pumping faster.

I'm long winded as fuck but the point I wanted to get to was how you end up trying to reassure him. And then Bertl ends up convincing (didn't take too much effort) you to let him lick up any of the traces of watermelon juice that happen to still be sticking between your thighs. 😌
