❋ The villain in my heart; villain/ess au side story❋

↳Reincarnated into a new world as the bad guy part 1.5

feat: Floyd

genre: family fluff, humor, slow burn romance but is not the focus

note: a side story to reincarnated into a new world as the bad guy Floyd ver., set after part 1 but before part 2, reader is referred as “flying fish/fishie” by Floyd, no pronouns used with the reader, inspired by someone special to me.

I received news that my grandmother has passed away. Because of my situation, I can’t go back for her wake and I don’t know when I’ll ever get the chance to visit her. I’ve been feeling lost with no one to talk to since I’m too far from my family. Reader’s mother and grandmother are inspired by my own mother and grandmother. I’m breaking my own rule in delving too deep into details for this series but my grandmother was a good woman and I wanted to show off my grandmother in some way and my mother’s relationship in a way. This is purely for my self-indulgence, being able to remember my grandmother every time I read this and how much my mother loves her.

If this breaks your engagement with the series because of the lack of ambiguity, don’t worry. Not reading this won’t impact the main storyline so you can skip this side story.

Villain/ess au series masterlist

Yo Flying Fishie,

I’m coming over to hang out, see you soon!

Floyd

The letter was crumpling slightly under your clenched fingers as a range of emotion ran wild within you. The Leech messenger was not fazed by your distress as you assumed he is quite used to the spontaneity of his young master.

“Um…this letter…”

“Yes, it is an official letter sent by young master Floyd”

“And when exactly is soon-“

“I was not informed of the details of the visit, only that master Floyd told me to deliver this to you post-haste.” the messenger quickly bowed his head to you before leaving as quickly as he came, ignoring the utter anguish in your face.

You let out a sigh as you glanced back at the letter, if you could call it that. It was barely three lines with no sense of formality or urgency, leaving you to assume that this “hangout” could occur anytime between today or the next blue moon. However…

“At least he wrote this time”

Since that fateful encounter, Floyd started to act as though he was part of your family with how easily he lets himself in. Sometimes, he would invite himself to the knight’s training led by your father or munch down some refreshments with your mother. Most times, he’s chasing you down as you try to hide from the notorious merman. Each and every time, he just came out of the blue and barges in, scaring the workers in your manor. While a noble yourself, your standing as a baron family is lower than the Leech family so the workers were unsure how to approach the unpredictable nobleman.

He only started sending letters of notice when he waited in your manor all alone for hours while your family went out for a family picnic. You let out the loudest shriek when you saw gangly limbs hanging from the sofa Floyd splayed himself on, sulking on the sofa from boredom.

“I was sooo bored, Fishie.”

“Then go home!”

Your mother, ever the sociable type, would welcome the intruder with a smile every time. She was just happy to see her oldest child with a friend and would simply laugh at how comfortable the tall man was in their home. She even told you that the merman reminded her of a stray cat.

“Cats don’t usually bring about the destruction of a family, mom” you kept your snarkier quip to yourself.

Usually when she heard of Floyd’s visits, she would be happy to host him. But today was different. Her mother was visiting your home that day as well.

Your maternal grandmother was a quiet but strong woman. Born into a poor family and married an equally poor man for love, she worked tirelessly well into her late adulthood to provide for her seven children, retiring only when her last child was married. Your grandfather was her cheerier half while she preferred her private life with her family and close friends rather than mingling in large crowds with new people. Because of this, it was her husband and her children that did the socializing while she kept to herself at parties. She was a sarcastic woman, stubborn to a fault, and a loving family woman.

“If Floyd were to come today, it might make your grandmother uncomfortable” your mother was frowning and you tried to share her worries but you were trying so hard to fight out a smile.

“It’s so unfortunate, but if Floyd does visit then we have to ask him to leave, for grandmother’s sake~”

“Heeeh? Why do I have to leave?”

Your voice let out a strange noise of fright as Floyd’s voice caught you and your mother off guard. Despite his 6ft tall frame, he managed to creep his way to you and mother without any of you realizing.

“Way too dangerous!”

“Oh Floyd, you’re here so quick!” Your mother was quicker to snap from her surprise before feeling guilty, having to ask the young man to leave as soon as he came. “You see, my mother is visiting and she has a hard time warming up to strangers-“

“Who is this?”

Another voice came out of the blue, this time startling the three of you. All of you turned to see your grandmother, the very woman of the conversation herself. It was obvious where your mother got her looks and despite her smaller frame, her stubborn nature was shown through her pose and gaze.

Your mother, used to her mother’s curt words “Mother, this is Floyd Leech. He’s a friend of the kids” you wanted to argue that but instincts warned you otherwise, lest you want your mother scolding you for your rudeness.

Floyd casually waved to your grandmother with a toothy grin, unperturbed over her seemingly unfriendly demeanor. “Nice to meet’cha, Fishie’s grandma~”

There was somewhat awkward tension in the air. Your mother chose to stay quiet to gauge her mother’s comfort. She never wanted to make her mother too uncomfortable but she also wanted to see her mother willing to socialize. You, on the other hand, were steeling your emotions as you feared a brawl would happen between the two guests. Your grandmother was frail but she kept her hard-headed snark with her and you weren’t sure if Floyd was the type to hold back against an elderly woman.

Then your grandmother broke the silence. “Did you eat yet?”

“Hmm, I ate some lunch with my brother” Floyd raised a curious brow as the short woman eyed him with a discerning gaze. Then, your grandmother grabbed his wrist, feeling the bony structure and shocking the eel merman.

“So tall but still so skinny. You don’t eat enough” your grandmother let out a dissatisfying sigh as she released her grip on the stunned Floyd. She started walking towards the dining room, not bothering to look back at as she spoke out again. “Come, we’ll make something good for you. My oldest daughter also sent some bread from her town, we’ll eat that too.”

Delighted, your mother started walking as well to chat with Floyd, happily telling him about the delicious bread the grandmother mentioned her older sister brought over. You quickly paced yourself to your grandmother’s side, anxiously whispering to her.

“Grandmother, you don’t have to force yourself, you know? He comes over all the time so him going home today is no big deal” you told the elder woman, partly because you still wish to send the spontaneous nobleman away but also because you truly didn’t want to burden your grandmother with such personal discomfort.

The woman said nothing at first, simply walking without looking towards anyone. However, sensing your worry she eventually let out a sigh and patted your arm, affectionately rubbing as if to ease you.

“He’s your friend, and your mother seems fond of him too” your grandmother had a small smile on her face. “It’s fine. Stop worrying for nothing”

This may be nothing as letting someone visit you is trivial to most people. But you know your grandmother is pushing herself out of her comfort zone to personally talk and even invite a stranger to eat with her and her family. This is stressful for someone like her, but she’s trying her best all because of her family.

“…I’ll go find father and brother for a lunch break” If you and your grandmother have to suffer through this social nightmare, you’re dragging everyone to suffer then.

do it. gimme the Izzy straight-coded meta 👀

I feel like I need to preface this by saying that Actually, Izzy Is Straightcoded would be the inflammatory clickbait title I'd give this if it were written to draw traffic & ad revenue to my shitty website. So don't take that term too seriously.

There has been a lot of ink spilled about Izzy thinking he's in a story where one can only be subtextually queer. Some even by yours truly, but the more I think about it, the less sense it makes. What would be the purpose of queercoding Izzy?

In general, villains* aren't queercoded to show that men being attracted to other men is bad. It's often the outcome; but it's not why the trope exists. It exists because cishet people tend to be (and are encouraged to be) profoundly uncomfortable with gender nonconformity, and so, making a character gnc becomes a quick and easy way to make him appear twisted and untrustworthy. If he** can't even obey the fundamental rules of his own gender (rules that are inherent and unchangeable!) what other rules does he disobey?

Or: If a man is insufficiently masculine, he can't be trusted to have morals. The villain isn't gnc because that's an evil trait to have; rather, the gender nonconformity is a symptom of his evilness. Being evil is what enables him to embrace his feminine side, and embracing his feminine side is what others him and marks him as a villain.

This only really works when he's contrasted with a hero (or heroine) who is Doing Gender Correctly. The villain is foul to highlight how good the hero is. The Hero will be honest and straightforward, brave, physically powerful; the Queercoded Villain treacherous, cowardly, and physically weak. The hero is a Proper Man, a Good Person. The villain an Improper Man, and therefore, a Bad Person.

Of course ofmd fundamentally rejects this. The shorthand wouldn't work, because ofmd simply doesn't think effeminacy is creepy. It's uninterested in moralizing self-expression; it just lets people be how they are. There's a wide range of expressions of masculinity on this show, and none of it is inherently bad. People are allowed to be hypermasculine, flamboyant, and anything inbetween, can express their gender in whatever manner they want, and it's all fine - as long as they are authentic about it. Be however you are, but be yourself, and this is what Izzy fails at. The repression marks him as a villain. The strict adherence to what he thinks a Real Man Pirate ought to be like. He's very preoccupied with enforcing a traditional (and toxic) masculinity on himself and others. It's no coincidence the characters he antagonizes the most - Stede and Lucius - are also the most effeminate ones. And I know, I know anglophones have a much more casual relationship to twat and cunt, those don't nearly feel as uncomfortable for y'all as they do for me, so I don't want to assign too much significance here, but he is the only character who constantly uses this kind of language, and also the one who uses the most gender&sexuality based slurs (as far as I remember).

All of this while being clearly, obviously queer himself! I do not feel like I need to explain this; his flustered reaction when Lucius asks him if he's ever been sketched speaks for itself. The fact that he meets Stede and immediately slices his shirt off of him, speaks for itself. And so on.

Izzy isn't straightcoded in the sense that the story wants us to believe he's exclusively attracted to women. Much like a queercoded villain doesn't need to be shown to be attracted to men (and can even be shown to be attracted exclusively to women!) to still be queercoded. He's straightcoded in the sense that he's a stand-in for restrictive and toxic gender roles that society enforces on people. He buys into the idea that there's a way of Doing Gender Wrong, and this is presented as a tragic character flaw. Something he has to overcome to be able to do the thing that actually marks a hero in this show: express himself authentically.

Part of why I found his death so moving is because it enables him to set right the toxicity he spread. His rehabilitation arc was about himself; about finally allowing himself to be, accepting love, accepting community. His death was about taking responsibility. About fully recognizing the hurt he caused. Looking death in the face enables him to finally abandon the last shreds of that toxicity, to apologize and be granted forgiveness. In the end, he was not beyond saving, and the harm he has done will be healed.

*Izzy is introduced as an antagonist to both Stede and the central romance of this romcom. I'm not gonna debate this; if you disagree, fine, but you clearly have such a fundamentally wrong different view of the show that it's pointless for us to try and convince each other.

**of course Queercoded Female Villains exist s well, but they are a whole different can of worms and less relevant to this discussion

#okay now that i typed this all out i realize that i just basically keep writing the same izzy post over and over sorry for that #but i spent too long on it not to post it #i do not remember who said it but i saw a post a few days ago along the lines of #izzys death reads like the fantasy of a repentant abusive parent #and i think theres truth to that #may also read like the fantasy of the kid of an abused parent #finally the person who hurt you is able to apologize and you can part on good terms #but also wont have to deal w the fallout #i write as my grandmother who doesnt speak to us is probably dying idk #anyway! #i hope this is somewhat interesting #our flag means death #ofmd s2 spoilers #izzy hands #thoughts #anonymaus #message

I think I've already said this once before but I really wish there was a feature in Wizard101 where important events, lore, and dialogue in the game were documented somewhere so we can view them whenever we want. like unless we video record the events while it happens, take pictures, or just go through the whole entire fucking plot with another wizard character there's no way to ever revisit those moments and that SUCKS??????? like wizard101 has some of the best lore ive ever seen and I don't wanna have to level up my wizard all the way to level 100 just to see that iconic grandfather spider scene or grind through azteca just to find that one epic fourth wall breaking moment 💀 i want to revisit all the incredible and funny and weird shit we've all gone through Immediately. Like damn remodel the library so that it actually keeps records and dated films of the things we've gone through so it can actually be useful instead of it being Just A Building (rants about this for so long that even Jesus smacks His lips)

#remember that azteca moment? where the wizard is like carrying a huge chunk of boulder or smth and the narrator legit goes- #''why the fuck are we doing this. we're famous for fucks sake we got shit to do'' #and literally i could watch old cob going through his arc with us and his kids and grandmother raven alllllll day please. #''i can be as petty and absurd as i want.'' CAN I WATCH THAT MOMENT 15 MORE TIMES PLS THANKS #also the fact that theres so much lore and it spanned out for more than a decade?? theres a lot of shit to take in and 90% of it i forgot #itd be really useful for fanfics and stuff too #and even ive gotten some things wrong on this blog with my posts just because i FORGOT or misremembered the shit that actually happened LMAO #sorry for repeating myaelf but like. this needs to be a thing by yesterday #wizard101 #w101 #wiz101 #text posts

ohhh i think pickles is such a fucking whore when he wants to be. that man knows he’s hot, he knows people want him and uses it to his advantage. I think he’s more forward with the women he sleeps with, he’s touching them subtly once he knows for a fact they’re interested in him. He’s holding them, squeezing their sides as he talks to their friends. He’s standing behind them, pressed up to their back so they can feel him before they hurry off to some corner of the house to fuck. He’s telling them how he saw those eyes from across the room, he saw them eye fucking him and it turned him on. It’s always fun for him to watch them blush and squeal and gasp.

I think with Nathan specifically (nickles truthing today for my mental health) he’s more the teasing type, he’ll leave a lingering touch to his lower back that Nathan tries to not over think. They’ll be drinking together and pickles will look at Nathan, his eyes are lustful but his demeanor is playful and loose, so Nathan decides it’s just the booze making him think like that. Nathan finds himself hot with jealousy when he’s got a girl or another guy hanging on his every word, touching them the way he touches Nathan, and Pickles will look at him mid conversation with them, give him a wink before turning back to whoever he’s with and it just fans the fire in Nathan’s stomach.

But when the roles are reversed, and Nathan comes onto him, Pickles is submissive and teasing. Nathan will corner him in the studio once everyone else leaves and he’s locked the door. Pickles can see the lust in his blown out pupils, feel it radiating off of his body as a huge palm is splashed over the wall next to his head. He’ll play hard to get, act cool and give Nathan that lopsided smile and pretend he doesn’t feel his dick twitch. He’ll ask Nathan what he wants, a hand reaching out to toy with one of the loops on his belt, his hand grazing over the already prominent bulge Nathan’s sporting. He’ll act surprised by the passionate kiss Nathan gives him, pressing him against the wall so hard Pickles thinks they might go through it.

He’s so submissive, even, that it becomes a ritual. He’ll do something to make Nathan jealous, bring home some dark haired groupie and fuck her loud into the next morning knowing Nathan can hear. He’ll watch Nathan eye him at a bar when another man gets too comfortable, laying a hand on his lower back as he orders their drinks. He loves seeing the metaphorical flames that follow Nathan when he’s jealous, playing this game of prey and predator. Because he knows as soon as he’s alone with Nathan, those green eyes will look at him like he’s a piece of meat for the taking. Hell rip him to shreds before building him back up, making sure each piece is just the way it was before.

bengali!jon introducing martin to the poetry of rabindranath and kazi nazrul islam. he himself isn't really interested in poetry of course, and Jon finds them quite frankly, a bit boring (me. but I have matured and understood that they are actually genuinely very good and the only reason i couldn't appreciate it was because i had to write Essays about them in 1st grade) but he figures martin might like them because he's a poet and all. now, martin can understand a bit of bengali and jon's there to help and there's the translated versions, so he gives it a shot and reads them all. he loves them all, you can see him carry around the gitanjali book and he quotes all the more romantic lines to jon. i just know martin would love ami chini go chini tomare (i know, I know you — basically a song about knowing your lover well and lamenting about their presence in every part of their life) by rabindranath tagore and tomar holo shuru amar holo sara (i start, you end — pretty obvious, a song about eternal love.)

#the magnus archives #jonmartin #jmart #tma headcanons #jmart fluff #jon likes the songs better — he can still remember his grandmother playing those old songs #thinking about how my culture and my country's literature is actually pretty neat. #for some reason on the topic of bengali literature #I feel like tim would like abol tabol by shukumar rai #it's basically a collection of nonsensical poems where silly stuff happen but it's really good and it slaps hard for some reason

the problem with trying to remember songs from girl scout camp is that you end up googling insane shit because there are about a billion slight regional differences between different groups of children

#I was trying to remember the main part of the one where you go #'fire fire pour on water pour on water save my children save my children jump lady jump' #because in the book I'm listening to they talked about the 'fire fire pour on water pour on water' part being about a London fire #but I always heard it as part of a song about Mrs O'Leary's cow burning down Chicago #anyways I did find the variation written out without too much digging #and our variation seems to come from a song that was popular at the turn of the 20th century #if you've read the tags this far I also remember the Baby Shark song being a camp song #and it's weird that it's like. a branded product now #and if you've read THIS far in the tags #I recently found out that one of my great great grandmothers married into an O'Leary family in Chicago #for like her fourth husband? #around the time of the fire #and she wasn't the Mrs O'Leary of the story #but I really wonder if she could've been an in-law or something

another headcanon, so i read that fic about harry giving ginny his mother's necklace and it was just so sweet....

so in my head ginny is not that big for jewels and accessories, like she obviously loves girly things but she also grew up poor so she probably knew that jewellry is a luxury indulgence that is not something she'd have the luck to have. So she never really bothered with any of them

but then she saw how harry cried when he went through his family's vault and saw lily and euphemia's jewelry box and how harry was so touched knowing that he had family heirlooms passed down from the women in his family

and like he shyly gave ginny his mother's necklace and proposed to her with his grandmother's ring and when they got married harry gave her the jewelry box and told her that he hoped they would grow old together and that he could watch her pass down these heirlooms to their daughter and daughter in laws if they have any

and since then you'd never see ginny potter out and about without bracelets, earrings and necklaces.

ginny even lent victoire the potter tiara when she married teddy

#i just love family heirlooms #i remember my grandmother had this necklace #she got it from her great gran #and it was so precious that when my grandma struggled with money #she refused to sell it #mind you she had DEBTS #not that big but it was big for someone with her economy condition #still she refused to sell the necklace #told me that an heirloom is so precious that no amount of money could outbid its worth #bc heirlooms carry stories #and it is also a hope for the future #“i kept it with me because i have hope that i would have a daughter to give it to her and that shed have a daughter on her on to pass it on #hinny #harry potter headcanon #hinny head canon #ginny weasley #harry potter

mythic grandmothers house dream visitors gang

I swear it’s like. The library of Alexandria to me. Like Narnia. It’s like the Cask of Amontillado. It’s just out of view in every other childhood photo. It’s like the time loop I got a little too comfortable in, that I’m never getting back to, a hundred happy memories buried in the walls and lost forever, and I could have sworn nothing ever changed there and I don’t even remember what it was like to leave for the last time. It’s strange that I can never go back. If I was allowed to return I think I’d refuse categorically. The upstairs appears as a whole different shadow-ridden dimension in my dreams; I still remember the blue china print of the plates in the kitchen with absolute clarity.

#every time I wake up from a dream about my grandma’s house it’s immediately obvious that it was a metaphor for. something #and I never know what #mythic grandmothers house dream visitors gang means you never quite remember what home feels like. I think
