“Hope You’ll Make It Through This Alive”

Hange Zoë x FEM! Reader

(Warning: Takes place on that ship in season 4 pt 2, tiny bit of spoilers for season 4 pt 3, swearing, smut, public sex, fingering)

Scenario- You and Hange are stressed about all the things that are going to happen, so you two decided to do something to relieve the stress but better be quiet or else someone might hear you two

You silently stand next to Hange as they just told Annie that we can’t make it to her hometown in time to save her father. You feel bad for the young blonde woman as she dropped down to the floor, losing all will to fight.

You desperately needed a break from all this stress and feelings of hopelessness, so you walked out the door and went to the edge of the ship where no one was at, leaning on the railing, looking at the sea as the wind softly blew through your hair.

After a few long minutes you hear soft footsteps coming your way. You didn’t think much of it until you felt two familiar hands on your shoulders.

“You’re stressed, aren’t you?” Your partner spoke as they massaged the tension out of your shoulders.

“You know, I remember the first day I met you..we instantly connected with each other. You would be talking my ear off about all the things you did that day and would tell me about all your experiments. The light in your eyes was so bright that it was almost blinding.. but now over the years I saw that same light die out slowly.” You say as memories flood your brain.

Hange doesn’t say anything and is unsure on what to say, they unknowingly stop moving their hands.

“Dammit I’m sorry, I must’ve made you feel bad. Don’t you worry, I still love you very deeply I can assure you that hasn’t changed one bit” You turn around to face Hange, wrapping your arms around their waist and pecking their lips.

“What I’m saying is that it hurts me that you went through so much pain, and you don’t even deserve any bit of it.” You say as tears start to form in your eyes.

Hange pulls you into a tight hug, “It’s okay darling, I’ll be alright. You don’t need to cry anymore, wanna know why? It’s because both of us are gonna make it out alive, no matter what happens.” They say even though they’re uncertain about the outcome of the battle that’s about to come.

Why does Hange always do this? They always act like they’re okay when you know damn well they aren’t. You want to take all the stress away from them, even if it’s only temporarily.

You pull away from the warm hug to look at them. “Hange, if you allow me, let me make you feel better. I know it won’t relieve the stress permanently but at least you’ll be relax temporarily.”

“I know what you’re getting at and I appreciate the offer but I think you’re the one that needs it right now.” They say with a wide smirk on their face as they saw your eyes avoid their own.

Before you could even answer they turned you around and bent you over the railing. Leaning forward on your back and place soft kisses on your neck.

“H-hange what if someone catches us, everyone is already close by.”

“It’s fine darling, just be extra quiet to ensure that nobody hears your sweet voice except for me.” Hange whispered in your ear, sending shivers through your body.

Their right hand slowly moved down your body and into your pants, two fingers teasing your sensitive clit, making soft and quiet moans slip from your mouth. The noises soon became muffled as Hange covered your mouth with their left hand.

“What did I just say my dear?” Hange says as they shove their middle and ring fingers inside you.

They move their face to kiss your shoulders and back. Fingers curling inside of you, as they still have their hand over your mouth firmly but making sure that they don’t hurt you.

Hange was always good at this, they were always good at pleasuring you no matter what the situation you were in.

Hange thrusted their fingers in and out in a speed that can rival anyone, making it hard to keep your voice down thank god for the hand over your mouth. You are starting to think that they get turned on by the idea of someone catching you two.

At the pace they were thrusting, you quickly came all over their fingers. Hange waited a moment so that you could calm down from your high and they removed their hand from your mouth. They pulled their fingers out and tasted you.

You were hunched over the railing with dazed eyes as Hange wrapped one arm around your waist and the other on your chest to bring you up a bit so you won’t fall and they leaned forward to rest their chin on your shoulder.

“I hope you’ll make it through this alive, even if I’m not there by your side anymore.” Hange thinks to themselves as they turned their face to kiss your cheek.

If only you knew that was going to be the last time you and Hange ever got intimate..

The problems I have with AOT S4 are like what I HATE about Toy Story 4!

I didn’t realise until now that this pile of trash called a movie is soon turning five years old! Not only that, but it’s problems are similar to the issues with Season 4 of AOT. Now I can officially state those similarities!

(Warning! AOT spoilers for my friend and possible spoilers for those who haven’t seen TS4)

First off, the tones of both of them feel very different from their previous installments. They don’t feel like they’re direct continuations from where we last saw their separate stories - almost like a filler chapter.

Why’s that? For one thing, the characters. Take Eren for example: out of nowhere he became a sadistic, emotionless overlord as if the old Eren wasn’t good enough, even after all he went through. That makes me very ill in my mouth.

Now Woody wasn’t like that in the slightest in this fourth movie, but still, things aren’t better for him here. He gets treated like sh*t like everything that he learned from the previous three movies are wrong. Being himself eventually punished him… but I won’t get into that yet.

As for the rest of the cast, they were all side-lined into a van the whole movie! Similarly how our fellow Scouts weren’t introduced until the 6th episode of S4. Making room for newer characters to shine instead, which I wouldn’t have mind if these characters were… you know, interesting!

Did I also say that each cast were nerfed to just being caricatures of their former selves? Mainly in TS4, but you should notice how Sasha was reduced to just being a foodie person after her ‘you know what’.

Don’t even get me started on their smartest characters being reduced to complete morons who don’t know what to do (or think for themselves) the entire time?! One of them is now a dumba** and the other is a complete wuss!

Another thing to point out and compare is the two newest female characters: Gabi Braun and Gabby Gabby. Oh will you look at that! They both share the same name. They were both introduced as egotistic and selfish girls, and yet they eventually ‘learn’ and receive happy endings on a silver platter.

Gabi Braun took away a beloved character, met her family and we’re led to believe she learned her lesson and remains one of the few survivors in the end. As for Gabby Gabby, she was as manipulative as Stinky Pete and almost as sadistic as Lotso, yet she gets what she always wanted after she forcefully performed toy surgery on poor Woody :(

Keep in mind, I’m still very ‘meh’ on Gabi Braun but I think I point still stands on those haters. The doll on the other hand, should’ve been left in the trash!

Lastly, for now, it’s the endings.

Not gonna say much about AOT’s ending, I have my own opinions on it, but one thing it does was the separate the main from the rest of the group. One runs away with a girl who’s been verbally abusive for the whole movie, and the other died. With TS4 it really blew a fuse in me when I first watched it; whatever happened to the franchise being about ‘family stays together’ and ‘being there for your kid’?! Why the forced romance all of a sudden?!

Anyway, I’m worried about making this post too long so I’ll stop here for now. In conclusion, though I have mix feelings about AOT’s final season, it’s no secret that the problems I do have are almost like why I hate this fourth installment and wish it was never made in the first place!

(Not gonna bother showing ending images ‘cause I refuse to look at that ending again) 😡

#attack on titan #shingeki no kyojin #toy story 4 #rant post #i hate this movie #i have mixed feelings on this season tho

Lie To Me - Gabriel Luna x Reader

Summary: Y/N does the vanity Fair lie detector test and it gets dragged out of her that she has a raging crush on her co-star Gabriel Luna

Words: 1.5k

Warning: none

Notes: If you have any Gabriel stories you want me to write please ask, there's not much content on him online so he’s a lot harder to write for him but I'm not gonna stop as he needs the love ❤️

“Is your full name Y/N Y/M/N(s) Thornberry?”

“Yeah that’s correct, pronounced right as well. Props to you.”

“Are you an actor?”

“I’m definitely something. An aspiring actor feels more accurate, The Last of Us being my second big role really.”

“Are you about to take a polygraph exam?”

“Yup and I’m shitting myself about it! Can I swear? I can swear right?”

“Why are you nervous?”

“Look at this? I’m hooked up to the machine and neither of you seem to like to smile. Like at all.”

“We shall start with the category of your career.”

“Alright, starting big.”

“Some would say Supernatural was when you really became famous and a fan favourite, do you think you’re the best Winchester?”

“Oh no, I’d say I’m the least favourite, joining in season-“

“She’s lying.”

“Wait what? I am?”

“Do you think you’re the best Winchester?”

“No, that would be Dean. I’d say I’m the second best, sorry Jared.”

“That’s the truth.”

“Was there a lot of pressure coming into the show so late?”

“I wouldn’t say pressure as Jared and Jensen made me feel right at home almost immediately. It was scary seeing the fans of the show react to Eleanor being brought in so late and so suddenly but the initial response blew me away and I could ask to be part of a better fandom.”

“There a lot of fan accounts for Supernatural, do you ever look at any of them?”

“Actually I do, my best friend Pedro and I like to send each other videos and memes we see made of each others characters or if we see any that are really amazing. There are some really good editors out there who really put Nell and Maria in such a beautiful and badass light.”

“Do you have a favourite account?”

“Yeah actually… Ummm, Pedro and I send a lot to each other from an account called Lunaberry4life with the for being the number 4.”

“So you play Eleanor Winchester in Supernatural, did you ask to wear flannel?”

“Did I ask to wear flannels? I love the Winchester flannels and some of them may actually be in my wardrobe at home. The costume crew do such an amazing job with making me feel comfortable in everything I wear as well as capturing the badass nature of Nell.”

“So you would say you’re a fan of flannels?”

“For the show and what they represent with the fandom yes but as an everyday item I’m not sure. I’m more of a fan of sweatpants or jeans and a casual tee shirt or sweater.”

“You were a barista before you became an actress correct?”

“Yeah, I adore coffee. Can’t live without it really and so I became a barista before I got dragged into the acting world by probably one of my best friends, the lovely Barbara Palvin or as I get to call her: Barbie.”

“Who would you rather invite to your birthday party? Barbara Palvin or Pedro Pascal?”

“I wouldn’t have one if I couldn’t invite them both. In their own ways they’ve become very special to me and I couldn’t do it. I don’t have the heart to go without one of them. I’m a little selfish like that, why have one if you can have both?”

“Would you invite me?”

“Yeah…?”

“She’s lying”

“So you just finished filming The Last of Us, correct?”

“Yeah, it was a really great experience, being able to meet and act alongside such great actors like Pedro and Bella. Bella is a force to be reckoned with as she has this fire I wish I had when I was her age and I can really see her taking over the world.”

“Who did you enjoy working with the most from the cast?”

“Probably Pedro as he’s just so sweet and sincere. I never expected a man as famous as him to be so humble, he was always able to make us laugh, especially when filming those really intense scenes. That man has a habit of randomly emoting!”

“That’s a lie. Pedro being her favourite, not about Pedro.”

“Are you lying?”

“No…?”

“Yes.”

“Who did you enjoy working with the most from the cast?”

“Well I did enjoy spending time with Gabriel Luna, he’s just an all around person and I loved playing his wife. He’s get such an addictive personality and would always manage to help me calm down whenever I got too anxious and I will say those curls are so fucking cute.”

“When Pedro was in your position he was asked if he thought himself a heartthrob. Do you think Pedro Pascal is a heartthrob?”

“Yeah, he’s definitely a heartthrob. I mean the world has already declared Pedro as the hottest man and he’s just such a Daddy, ya know?”

“What about Gabriel Luna?”

“Oh! Umm, well… have you seen him? He’s definitely hot and very underrated. He’s got a very charming southern accent and I don’t know if you’ve noticed the freckles across his gorgeous skin and his eyes seem to be the brightest shade of brown I have ever seen, much like cognac. He might be like eighteen years older than me but he needs more recognition for what he does- oh I’m rambling…”

“You seem to have thought about this a lot.”

“I-I wouldn’t say that…”

“She’s lying.”

“N-no!”

“Moving on…”

I’m dragging myself from my bed at the knock on my door, having just ended a FaceTime with Pedro who of course had a good tease about my vanity fair lie detector interview. It got released last night and already the fan accounts are blowing up my phone with edits and ships of me and different actors. Pedro called me as soon as he woke up, being a few hours behind me at the moment and first checked on how I was doing before he let himself tease me a little. I hung up on him to call back a second later, him waiting for the call back and a grin on that stupidly cute face as he chuckled.

The knock at the door gets more persistent as I pad through my apartment, wondering who the fuck it could be. Barbie has keys so it won’t be her as she’d just let herself in with a call of my name to let me know it was her and Pedro is still doing his Mandalorian press tour so it’s definitely not him.

Flinging the door open I’m greeted by dark curls and warm cognac eyes. Gabriel’s standing in front of me, out of breath and an overnight bag hanging from his shoulder. He’s watching me, eyes scanning my face as I just stare in shock. Gabriel Luna is standing outside my door. He’s at my apartment. How the fuck did he get my address? Oh wait, I know, Pedro probably. That motherfucker.

“Is it true?” Gabriel’s southern accent rolls off his tongue like warm honey as he steps forwards, into my apartment and I take an instinctive step back, “Y/N, is it true?”

“I-is what true?” My voice catches in my throat when my back hits my kitchen island, the door being kicked closed before Gabriel’s dropping his bag and stalking towards me, my mouth drying up at his every step. He places his hands either side of my hips, against the edge of the counter as his dark eyes scorch my skin, face dipping down close to mine.

“Don’t play dumb with me sweet girl.” He coos, voice deep as he dares a glance at my lips and back up.

“Please.” I whimper, the sound dying on my lips when his crash against mine. It’s sweet and tantalisingly slow as we both relish in the feeling of wanting each other. His hands move from the counter to my hip and my cheek and I’m gripping his shirt to pull him flush against me. I think I might be dreaming still but when his blunt nails dig into my hip I know this is real; he’s here and he’s actually kissing me. He’s intoxicating, the mixture of coffee and cedar wood addictive and I never want to stop but my lungs are burning and we’re pulling apart with a gasp, “Fuck me.”

“Let me at least take you on a date first.” He mumbles, lips curving into a smile against my neck, stealing a gasped laugh from me as I do the one thing I have always wanted to do: tangle my hands in those perfect curls and tug, testing the waters. The dirtiest moan I have ever heard falls from those cupid bow lips and his cognac eyes darken even more, his voice husky as he growls out, “You keep doing that and I’ll have to skip taking you out on a date and asking you to be my girlfriend.”

I tug on his soft hair again, groaning out a quiet, “Ask me.”

“Will you go out with me?”

“Fuck yes.”

☠ for TK :)

Angry/violent headcanon for TK

Oh, boy, this is such a good question for our baby boy! Let me preface this by saying I adore TK, I think he is the sweetest, most compassionate person on the show. He would literally die for his patients in the field, when his friends are hurting he is HURTING. He has big emotions and he feels them deeply, but he doesn’t always understand them. He reacts quickly, a lot of time out of anger when that might not be the true emotion he’s feeling. When we first meet TK, through to the end of S2, he is very emotionally immature. He’s in such a dark place mentally that his response to a rejected proposal is an attempted suicide. He doesn’t really seem to know how to process his feelings, and he lashes out when he’s put into a situation he feels uncomfortable or cornered in, his knee-jerk is angry outburst. We see him blow up and storm out and then come back a while later after he’s processed (to be clear, needing to step away and process before having a conversation is totally valid, it’s the blowing up part that’s not great). I think a lot of this emotional immaturity stems from his childhood and watching his parents. First, he has abandonment issues big time. Second, he watched his parents fight and probably internalized that as the way a relationship is supposed to look. He probably thought that fighting meant passion. I imagine that he’s blown up on past partners and pushed a lot of people away due to this behavior.

Now, I think the break up was a big wake up call for him. This time he blew up and pushed Carlos away so hard, he felt there was no way to go back and reconcile it. But this wasn’t just some guy, it was the person that we now know he viewed as his soulmate since the first night they spent together. He was devastated, and he took that time to process. I headcanon that he went to a lot of therapy during this time and did a lot of self-reflection; why did I react this way? How could I have responded in a healthier way? How can I communicate my feelings better in the future? What do I do when I feel an outburst coming on? Etc. etc.

We see him maturing over S3-4, and I think that’s really beautiful character development that we don’t really see often on TV. His response to Carlos’s jealousy over Cooper is so mature, he states his rationale and gives Carlos the space to process. His response to pretty much all of Carlos’s bullshit in Season Four is so mature and healthy (I would have liked to see him have a little more agency in expressing his feelings regarding the Iris storyline, but alas). I’m very proud of him, and I think this growth is very reflective of real life when you’ve had a relationship (romantic or platonic!) crumble and you do some self-reflection and try to reset and ask yourself what kind of partner/friend do I want to be? How do I learn to manage my emotions and have healthy relationships with other people.

Send me a headcanon ask!

I saw you post on seasons 1 through 4 of Dr. Who and I wanted to know more about your accidentally Christian pile. What are some other works do think unintentionally emphasized Christian doctrines or morals?

Ooooooh, really good question!!

So the first thing that comes to mind here is Marvel’s Agents of Shield--each season has it's own story arc and themes, so it's hard to pin down just one thing here, so I'll just talk about a few. I'll talk about the obvious one first: Season 3 in particular has a lot of Christian imagery (though in this case, it's definitely on purpose). You see a flash-forward of a cross necklace at the beginning of the season floating in a spaceship in space right before it blows up, and then you watch as that necklace get passed around from person to person, knowing that whoever ends up with it at the end of the season is going to die. I won't spoil anything more, other than to say that it results in quite a bit of Christ/crucifixion imagery and themes.

Other than this, there's a lot about the redemptive power of love (Fitzsimmons my beloved), individual guilt and how to handle it, how to let go of shame, the inevitable defeat of evil--I know there's more, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. (AOS girlies/gents, feel free to chime in!) Additionally, one of the main characters explicitly a Christian, and while he's not portrayed perfectly, he's never ridiculed for it by the other characters or the narrative, which is a breath of fresh air. There are of course some things I don't approve of (prepare to have your skip button ready once or twice in the earlier seasons), but it's still a fantastic show, and by far the best show Marvel has ever come out with.

Harry Potter’s a pretty obvious one—Harry has to sacrifice himself and be fully willing to die to kill Voldemort, the fight with the basilisk in Chamber of Secrets has some Biblical parallels—but I’m fairly certain that these themes were deliberate, so I suppose they don’t really count. But they do to me, so 😂

Star Wars is another big one for me—of course, a la George Lucas’s original vision, SW is much more directly influenced by Buddhism, but I find that it often can’t help dipping into Christian themes. I find this is especially true with anything that has Dave Filoni’s name attached, likely because he in turn is pretty influenced by Tolkien and Lewis (Ahsoka is meant to parallel Gandalf, the World Between Worlds in Rebels was inspired by The Magician’s Nephew’s Wood Between Worlds, etc). Mandalorian season 3 in particular blew me away—baptism! Redemption! Rebirth! Mandalorian denominations/sects! Seriously, I was expecting them to come down hard on the strange rules that sect holds themselves to and for Mando to completely reject them—but they didn’t?? It was SO fascinating.

Kingdom Hearts is probably one of my favorite demonstrations of John 15:13: “greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Otherwise, I can’t really think of any super prevalent Christian themes I noticed, but that one is just so strong and so important to the themes of the series, I couldn’t not mention it.

Final Fantasy XV has something similar going for it—although what I’m going to say has MAJOR spoilers, so if don’t want to be spoiled, go ahead and skip this (and play the game because it’s great—but Noctis having to willingly sacrifice himself by sitting on a throne in order to purify his kingdom is as blatant as you get. For crying out loud, he’s called the One True King. However this only holds true for the base game—the dlc’s (except for Episode Prompto, but that’s just because it doesn’t really apply to that plotline, also it’s incredible) and the novel in my opinion kind of ruin it.

Legend of Zelda is an interesting one, because it is of course heavily inspired by Shinto, but a few Christian themes sort of snuck their way in there. In Skyward Sword (oh and spoilers for Skyward Sword). Hylia, though certainly not meant to be a direct Christ figure, chooses to be reborn as a Hylian (basically a human) in order to save her people. The difference here is that Zelda does not know that she’s Hylia, and she never regains her goddess status (at least presumably until she dies of old age), but it’s an interesting parallel nonetheless. Also, there’s a famously creepy cutscene in Twilight Princess where we get the story of how the Twili were banished from Hyrule for dabbling in dark magic, and the sequence has always reminded me of the Fall.

Those were just a few that I thought of off the top of my head—I’m sure there are more, but that’s all that’s coming to me at the moment 😂

#ajhshdhdh I’m so sorry this took so long #it’s graduation season and my little brother just graduated high school it’s been a bit crazy around here #anyway thanks so much for the ask!!!#asks

Finally getting around to doing this! Thank you @thelifeinmyshadesofgrey for tagging me ♥♥♥♥♥ I haven't done these in ages so it was fun to feel like we were back in the 'golden era' of tumblr xD

Tag someone you want to know AND/OR some of your besties: I don't wanna pressure anyone to have to do this, so consider this a warm suggestion rather than a I-will-judge-you-if-you-don't kind of situation @heyitszev :) (and if anyone else reading this feels like it, go ahead, the more the merrier lmao)

Favourite colour: This is a tough one because it all just depends on context so much. I'd say typically I veer more towards darker tones in general: really like a nice dark green, or a dark red or crimson. Purple is lovely too :D

Last song: Two Knights and Maidens by Crash Test Dummies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NS2EcHzdYY

Say what you want about the lyrics, but the chord progression in this song is *chefs kiss*

Last movie: 9. A bit of a strange one perhaps, but an interesting take on a post-apocalyptic world brought to life in a style that reminds me of Tim Burton a little bit. Basically, the world has been destroyed in a war between humans and machines, and we're introduced to a group of sentient dolls, each with a number on their backs from 1 to 9, who have had to survive in this strange new world while figuring out why they were made in the first place. I don't wanna spoil this for anyone who hasn't seen it, so I'll leave it at that :)

Currently watching: I'm in-between series atm haha. Waiting for season 4 of the Boys, and just finished watching season 2 of 30 Coins. Might just do a rewatch of Andor or the Punisher to fill this void.

Other stuff I watched this year: Err… from what I remember (and yes, since we're only in January, I'm counting 2023 into this as well) I'd say Moon Knight, Andor, 30 coins, a rewatch of Supernatural (up to season 12), and the One Piece live action series. Out of all these Andor was perhaps my favourite, but I enjoyed all of them, and was pleasantly surprised at how well the One Piece adaptation remained loyal to the original works :D they obviously had to adjust some things but it still felt true to form. With Andor, I was hesitant to watch it at first because the last SW series I had watched had been declining in quality (weird writing, etc), however… Andor completely blew me away. The way it builds up to the climax was just so well done, the writing is superb, music fantastic, and it's one of those series I wish I could forget about completely so I could experience it for the first time again.

Shows I dropped this year/didn’t finish: I haven't watched many series I've not finished since I usually watch them to the end anyway, but looks like that new Percy Jackson series may unfortunately fall into this category?

Currently reading: I've been powering through the Harry Potter books. Started during the Christams holidays and I'm now on book 6. So far so good, though I've had to slow down with holidays being over. Might need to reread the Robert Langdon series as well after this as it's still one of my personal favourites.

Currently listening to: This changes daily but I do find myself drifting back to Riot music very often. So, that's music made for League of Legends, Valorant, etc. Not the soundtracks, but songs like Worlds anthems like "GODS" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3GouGa0noM) and 2021's "Burn It All Down" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z6CHioIn3s). I also absolutely love "Breathe" from the official launch video for Legends of Runeterra (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNhKAJwlj04). I also like this vid for it heavily featuring Darius, the only champ I ever played when I attempted to get into LoL before the toxicity got to me and I decided it's not for me :3 (didn't take long, but left me with a bit of a soft spot for him lmao)

I absolutely do not play any of these games but man… the music is on point imo. Something again about chord progression, don't ask what my obsession with that is lmao.

If I'm not listening to these and songs like them, I'm listening to heavy metal (industrial or symphonic), movie or game soundtacks, or oldies belonging to various genres from the 70s and 80s, occasionally 90s as well. Here's a couple examples:

Once You've Tasted Love by Take That

Take the Long Way Home by Supertramp

Evil Woman by Electric Light Orchestra

Misplaced by Sonata Arctica

And I will leave it at that as I've already included too many songs lmao

Currently working on: I'm currently making a backend for a gym app I'm working on. I somehow got the GraphQL elements working, now I need to get it saving to a database of somekind. I could do this locally or learn to save data to the cloud but I haven't yet decided which approach to take lmao. Overall, I'm just upskilling in the hopes of eventually landing a job as a full-stack developer. NO LUCK SO FAR aside a couple freelance frontend opportunities :/

Current obsession: Hmm….. good question. I'd say, despite me not playing it as much as I used to, I am slowly getting back to Elder Scrolls Online? Fire Emblem Fates is another, as well as Bleach.

#personal #i can't help that my tastes are very eclectic #i like so many things it might even be easier to point out things I don't like #but where's the fun in that :)

Righteous

part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 PART 5

Reiner Braun Soulmate AU

- Soulmate AU (childhood friends to lovers. afab!reader. The entire chapter is flashbacks. Soft!Reiner. Depressed!Reiner. Clueless Children.)

cw: Season Four Spoilers (specifically episode 3 : The Door of Hope)

Just do what you have to. Keep moving forward. That's all we can do. You're gonna butcher all the titans, right? I'm sure you can do it.

"I, Reiner Braun, take you, (y/n) (l/n), to be my beloved wife. To have and to hold, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side in sorrow and in joy, in the good times, and in the bad, and to love and cherish you always." Reiner took a pause, hands shaking as he tried to place the ring on (y/n)'s fingers. "I promise you this from my heart, for all of my days."

He held her hands in a scared manner, thinking over the last of his vows and how much of a heavy meaning they held. They didn't want to comment on it, they just wanted to live in the moment they were in.

"I, (y/n) (l/n), take you, Reiner Braun, to be my beloved husband. To have and to hold, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side in sorrow and in joy, in the good times, and in the bad, and to love and cherish you always. I promise you this from my heart, for all of my days."

The girl pulled Reiner's ring onto his finger, clenching tightly onto the hand as her nervousness caused them to shake.

It was just them, covered by the moon light, outside the internment zone. They had decided on a small park, trees surrounding them. They were 18, barely adults, but they had nothing to lose. Reiner had so much left to live. He wanted to make it count, wanted to experience the most he could with the girl he loved; wanted her to experience it as well.

Should he have told her it was best to move on? Find a better life that was outside of him?

Of course.

But he had spent the last 5 years risking his life for a country that doesn't even treat his people right. He had every right to be selfish. It was just something he wanted to do before he left the world. He wanted to feel something.

Reiner looked down at (y/n), her eyes filling with tears as her smile was shaky. He felt a thump in his chest, his heart skipping a beat looking at her. There was so much love in her eyes, the moonlight on accentuating it more.

"I do." Reiner whispered to himself, saying it to any higher being who was listening.

"I do." (y/n) said it back, holding onto Reiner's hands that were on her cheeks.

No one was there to reverend the ceremony; the two adults doing it on their own and memorizing their vows.

There was a small tick in their heads, one saying: you may now kiss the bride.

And kiss her he did.

(Y/n) sniffled, trying so hard not to let the tears fall from her cheeks and ruin their kiss. Wind suddenly blew through their clothing, the fabric shifting along the air. When the couple pulled away, they stayed a breath away; just feeling content with each other's closeness.

"Are you sure about this?" Reiner asked her, his voice a whisper as he was scared of having her leave now.

"With you?" (Y/n) told him. "Always."

****

(Y/n) was writing down notes at her desk, the yells of Commander Magath being heard outside from the window. She stared down at the papers that were given to her; a list of the candidates that would go to the last stage of Titan selection.

Gabi Braun was one of them. Of course she was, she was exactly like her cousin. Such a common thing with the Braun's.

Reiner was standing at the window, watching the kids train out in the courtyard. He had walked into the office with the other Military officers; a meeting being held for the candidates that would be selected to stay. Magath had already left the room, quickly turning up at the courtyard to look at the kids.

"(Y/n), do you want kids one day?" Reiner suddenly asked, watching the kids run around.

"Are you asking me as my husband or as a warrior?" (Y/n) paused, turning her head to look at the man. He didn't look at her, he had a blank look on his face, seemingly trying hard to focus. The woman sighed, crossing her arms over her desk.

"As a wife, isn't it a duty to give you a child?" She asked him.

"I don't want you to think it's a duty." Reiner said, finally turning to look at her.

"With you it's not." She tried to reassure him. "Having someone who's half you would make everything go away. They are created from our love."

She had a dazed look to her eyes, seemingly feeling content with the idea of having someone who looked like Reiner. She suddenly took a deep breath in, coming back down from her fantasy.

"As the Warrior Unit Advisor, starting a family is pointless. You are going to die for this country anyways. Why leave a poor child without a parent?"

"I guess you're right." Reiner paused, looking back over towards the window.

"Yes." Her voice was much closer, Reiner flinching a bit as hands wrapped around his torso. "Lucky you, I am your wife."

"You want to do that?" Reiner asked incredulously, grabbing onto (Y/n)'s arms and looking at her. "You want to risk everything, just to have a kid with me?"

"What am I risking?" (Y/n) pulled away from him. "I'm already married to you."

"But no one knows you are." Reiner suddenly spoke, looking away from the girl and around the room. "What would you tell your parents? I came back from that mission as a failure. I'm not a hero. I didn't get to buy a house that we could live in."

"Look at me, Reiner." (Y/n) pulled on his arms, forcing him to turn. She raised a hand to his cheek, giving his one hand a squeeze. "I don't care if you didn't get the founding titan. You are still my soulmate. You're still going to be the person I love. I'm already 20, I need to make a life of my own outside of my family."

"But you're gonna end up doing it alone! I would love to support you, care for both of you. But if I leave you're gonna be left alone."

"And that's just something I'm going to have to get used to. You made it this far Reiner, don't give up on me now. Not when this is the one way I can have you left with me."

"You're being selfish." He told her, trying to find any form of hurt on (Y/n)'s face.

"Weren't you when you asked me to marry you?" She asked him.

"We are rushing. It's a terrible thing to do." She pulled his head down, placing her forehead against his. "But what does it matter if we already know that our love isn't going to go anywhere? Even if you leave, and I grow old. You, Reiner Braun, will be my one and only love."

Reiner sighed, but still closed his eyes and placed his lips on the girl's. She gave him a smile, hand slowly falling onto his neck to be pulled closer. He wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her.

Though the couple was quick to pull away, a sudden yelp from the door startled the two. They turned wide eyed, facing the little 11 year old who had barged into the office.

"I'm sorry!" Falco Grice shouted. "I didn't mean to!"

He turned around about to run out the office, when Reiner called for him.

"Falco, wait!" The man said, running to the door to shove the boy back in.

"I won't tell anyone!" Falco cried, trying to stop Reiner from shoving him onto a chair. "I swear!"

"Falco, we know you won't." (Y/n) sighed. "Calm down."

Falco looked between the two adults, still anxious that he would get in trouble. His eyes landed on (Y/n), her arms crossed as she leaned against her desk. His eyes landed on her hand, the wedding band he knew she wore on display.

"I thought you said you were married!" Falco asked incredulously. "I always see you telling the other army generals you are"

"Because I am." (Y/n) told the boy. "To Reiner."

"But you're Marleyan?" Falco said. He looked between the woman in front of him and the much bigger man behind him. His face was much more stern, his usual scowl on his face.

"Love doesn't really have a limit." (Y/n) told him. "You find it in whoever it wants you to find."

"You're a sweet boy, Falco." (Y/n) sighed. "There is no need to worry about us getting mad at you."

"Unless you do tell." Reiner told the boy, hand quickly falling onto his head. "In which case, I'm going to have to eat you."

"Reiner! Don't traumatize the boy." (Y/n) scold him, the man laughing at his joke. (Y/n) gave him a half-assed glare, moving to hold onto Falco's hands and wiping away at some tears that fell from his scare.

"The Marleyan army will already be doing that for him." (Y/n) joked, glancing down at the boys hands. She tilted her head, eyebrows pulling together when she noticed a small mark on the boy's left hand.

"Falco?" She asked. "What is this?"

She rubbed at the mark, trying to make sure it was the exact same one she had.

"I don't know."The boy answered. "I've had that for years now. Doctors said it was probably just a mark from training or something."

"No." (Y/n) smiled somberly. "No, I don't think it is."

"What is it?" Falco asked with a curious tone.

"That's for another time." (Y/n) patted his knees, standing up from crouching over the boy. "Now, you came in for a reason. What did you need?"

****

"Falco! Have you seen Reiner?" (Y/n) asked the boy, walking up to him after she had caught him banging on the wall of the Warrior building.

"Are you alright?" She asked, hand rubbing his face in a motherly way.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Falco smiled softly, subtly falling into her affectionate touch. "I haven't seen Reiner. I was about to go home."

"Ah, I'll accompany you then." (Y/n) smiled at him, the boy only looking at her wide eyed.

"You don't have to! I'm sure you should be going home now! It's getting late." He tried to reason with her.

"It's alright. I'm gonna stay in the internment zone tonight anyways." Falco frowned, beginning his journey home as the woman followed behind him.

"Why?"

"Ah, I don't think I should be telling you why." She laughed.

"Right." Falco's face flushed, looking down at the ground.

“That's right. I still have...them.”

The two citizens continued their walk into the internment zone, Falco leading the way to his home as they passed by the mental hospital.

(Y/n) paused, watching as the boy took a look into the fenced in area. She waited patiently, hands clasped together.

"The hospital."

"Hey!" Both Falco and (Y/n) turned, noticing a man with long hair waving at Falco from a bench.

"So you're able to talk now, huh?" Falco spoke, sitting down next to the legless man. "Guess that means you're recovering?"

"This place is for treating psychological wounds, but mine are fake."

(Y/n) frowned her eyebrows, looking at the man. She felt out of place, rubbing her arms in anxiousness.

"Huh?"

"I said I forgot where I came from due to amnesia, but I just don't wanna go back." The guy spoke, looking down at the floor. "I'm not quite ready to face my family yet"

"Will you report me?" He asked, after pausing for a bit.

"No, I wouldn't do that." Falco told him. The two men turned to look at (Y/n), the girl suddenly shocked to have them both staring at her.

"I-it's none of my business." (Y/n) spoke. "Sometimes families can be hard to face."

"You don't have an armband." The man squinted, looking back up at her face to try and understand who she was.

"I don't need one." She told him. She took a breath, staring down at his green eyes. They looked full of life, but also without a soul at the same time. She was uncomfortable, feeling as though he was looking straight through her.

"I'll wait for you outside." She turned to the boy. "Okay, Falco?"

The boy gave her a nod, going back to talking with the mental ward patient as (Y/n) went to stand outside the fence. It was a short talk, one she didn't hear but the boy came out with courtyard, an envelope in his hands.

"I have to go back to HQ. Do you mind?"

"Not at all." (Y/n) told him, patting his head as they began their trek back to the Warrior Unit. As they came out closer to the building, (Y/n) smiled, watching Reiner walk up to them in the distance.

"What are you two doing out this late?" Reiner asked, glancing worriedly at (Y/n) who stood behind him.

"I left something back at HQ."The boy told the man. "You can take, Miss (l/n) home. I'll see you guys later."

He ran off, waving behind him at the couple.

"What was that about?"

"I couldn't tell you." (Y/n) laughed. "But I can tell you something very exciting."

She took his hand in hers, giving him a smile, as she placed the other on her stomach. Reiner wanted to cry, looking over his wife. He thought about ending his life; leaving the one thing that kept him sane.

"Hey don't cry!" (Y/n) laughed, pulling Reiner off the side to keep away from prying eyes. She wiped at his cheeks, quickly catching any tear that fell.

"Everything is gonna turn out alright!" She gave him a small smile. "For both of us."

"We're gonna make it. You're gonna make it. I'm sure you can do it."

Just a short ramble – SNW S1E04

This post – naturally – contains spoilers. If you haven’t seen the episode yet and do not want to read spoilers, please do not read any further.

This is not an episode review but rather just a bunch of ramblings which I’ve tried to at least sort a little bit into categories.

Season 1 – Episode 4 – Memento Mori

My ramblings come a bit late, I was busy with RL the whole week and then some. Sadly I got very bad news in RL, which puts this blog at risk for a long hiatus. But I don’t know for sure yet. At the moment I lack the energy for (too) long ramblings, so I cut this short to just a few main topics.

Pike’s inner demons - continued

We didn’t see any of that directly, but I felt like we saw some effects of Pike’s knowledge of his fate. This is just my opinion, nothing more! If you see it differently, that is perfectly fine. But I felt that Pike’s repeated trust in the Enterprise was maybe based on his knowledge that he couldn’t die from the Gorn attacks. He knew he’d survive if the Enterprise goes deeper down the brown dwarf and later into the black hole event horizon. Would he have made the same decision if he didn’t know his fate?

If the Enterprise didn’t hide, the only two other options would have been trying to out-warp them or fight them. Both would likely have ended up with the Enterprise being destroyed or the crew being captured. The Gorn ships seemed technologically superior and probably could travel faster. And they also appeared to have superior weapons (not to mention that the Enterprise lost all but one torpedo). So had Pike decided differently, the Enterprise likely would have been boarded and everyone but one killed.

In the end Pike’s decision was the right one, even though it cost lives. But this could be a case of self-fulfilling prophecy. Pike only could decide the way he did to survive, so he could later fulfill his prophecy. But he decided the way he did because he knew his fate.

Didn’t Pike fail in astrophysics?

Where did he get all the knowledge about black hole physics from? Do you all remember the F he got in astrophysics when Tilly accidently showed Pike’s personnel file to the entire bridge crew in Discovery?

And yet he had a profound understanding of how the event horizon works, how objects appear as if they stand still to onlookers because of the gravitational redshift. How the Enterprise could use the black hole to sling shot themselves away from the Gorn.

Pike isn’t a stranger to astrophysics at all, so why the F at the academy?

I have 2 theories about that.

A – Pike was actually very good in astrophysics, but something happened right before the test was due that made him lose it. He failed the test because he just couldn’t concentrate. However, as with every university degree nowadays, I’d assume you cannot get your degree if you haven’t passed all tests. So he could repeat it later and passed with a much better grade. His personnel log which was displayed by Tilly probably only showed the grades of his first attempts (I doubt it showed all grades anyways and it was just an excerpt).

B – He failed the test on purpose. If you go check out his grades on Discovery again, you’ll notice they are all A+ to A-. Those are extremely impressive grades! For whatever reason Pike did what Bashir did and failed the test on purpose so he wouldn’t appear to be as too perfect. Do I think Pike is also engineered? Nope, but maybe he’s naturally extremely intelligent. Maybe he’s not 100% human. Whether he’s aware of it or not, all his good grades and how easily he got through all the classes maybe spooked him a bit and he didn’t want to appear to be a complete nerd. And so he blew one course.

Ortegas becoming too bitchy for my taste

I didn’t like Ortegas being constantly negative and bitchy and more so, doubting all of Pike’s decisions with snide remarks. Saying this hurts me because so far I’ve liked Ortegas a lot. But whenever she talks with her Captain in this episode, it annoys me. I am not sure if she was just scared or if she was insubordinate. None of her remarks were productive. Here are some examples:

Pike: Helm, full impulse to Spock's mark.

Ortegas: Aye aye. Full impulse. Into a giant gas cloud of death. Why not?

Pike:

[in the ready room]

Ortegas: So, no shields and no weapons. What do we do... throw luggage at them? And the Gorn... really? We're out here fighting the... the boogeyman? No one has even seen one. So how are we supposed to take them on?

La’an: We're outgunned. Time to run, sir.

Spock: I concur. But if we leave the brown dwarf they will see us. If we go deeper, it could destroy the ship.

Pike: Good thinking, Mr. Spock. We need to go deeper into the brown dwarf.

Spock: That is not what I suggested.

Pike: Ortegas, plot a course. As close as you can get us to center mass.

Ortegas: Sure. Didn't our science expert just say that would crush the ship? Just asking, Sir.

Pike:

I even got angry when she asked him if he understood Spock’s earlier remark. Pike’s reaction clearly showed he wasn’t thrilled. Spock also didn’t agree with Pike’s decision, but he still executed the orders without further questioning his Captain.

It’s not the first time Ortegas was lax with her respect for the Captain. When a crewmember doubts the decisions of their Captain, that is a very alarming situation. If this continues, it could be like constant dripping wearing away the stone. Every Star Trek show sooner or later will have a mutiny episode. On which side will Ortegas be?

I don’t understand why the writers made her so bitchy in this episode when she was so confident before. In Children of the Comet, she came up with the idea how to get M’hanit’s shield down. But in this episode she is nothing but bitchy and didn’t provide any helpful input.

La’an also confronted Pike, but her words had merit and her suggestions were helpful. She just had to get her argument through Pike’s skull. As soon as they were on the same page, they went through the whole situation in full agreement.

I do hope this was just an angsty reaction by Ortegas and she’ll not remain like this for the coming episodes. Or maybe I am just too touchy, I don’t know.

Some Randoms

Pike being the hero – This was an ensemble cast episode, but we could also see Pike at his best. We learn what a great tactician he is and that he can think way out of the box to find unusual solutions. He had to make some very hard decisions, some of which cost lives. But all in all he managed what people in previous encounters with the Gorn did not, he got the Enterprise to safety. As La’an pointed out, the reason why nobody knows how the Gorn look like is that those who saw them didn’t have enough time to tell. So usually encounters with the Gorn end up catastrophic. Even though his crew doubted him all along, Pike saved the ship.

Gorn –We got them! And then we didn’t. 😕 We only saw their ships and they admittedly looked scary, but also cool. I like the tripod design and they feel right for a reptilian species. But I’d have loved to actually see the Gorn, even if this would have been in contradiction with canon. However, the Gorn have been so underused in Star Trek that I would have happily sacrificed canon in this case. But maybe we will see them one day.

With Enterprise being damaged so badly, we’re doing a huge time jump within this season. I doubt we gonna see a damaged Enterprise in the next episode, so we lose at least a couple weeks in which the Enterprise gets repaired offscreen. Which brings us closer to Pike’s accident (and I don’t like that!).

I’m a bit disappointed that Hemmer’s antennae don’t move. Shren’s antennae in Enterprise did move and I totally fell in love with them. But Hemmer’s are just static and they clearly appear to be just glued on. ☹️

Is Lt. Mitchell part of the main cast? She has appeared quite a couple times now. I hope she’s not going to die to make place for Uhura as the main communications officer. I actually like Mitchell, she has a very unagitated and calm nature which I adore in a person. I would like to see more of her.

When Pike makes contact with the cargo vessel, Professor Thandie greets him with “Thank God, you’re Starfleet”. I thought religion isn’t a thing in the 23rd century anymore.

I often think of Luna, and how often she must think of you.

I wonder if she misses you, and if you miss her too.

You were the yin to her yang, never one without the other…with the exception of before you two met.

Once you met, you were inseparable. It didn’t take long for you to see her as one of your own. If she barked, you followed. If she marched forward in defense, so did you. If she excitedly jumped at pawps or me, you did too, knowing there was good snacks to be had.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, this first holiday season without you is going to be so hard. It already is so unbearably difficult. Thankfully, I feel like I’ve cried all my tears out. Not much left. But the love I have for you and the amount of missing you that’s left to be expressed can’t be measured by the tears I have left.

We miss you, my Boo..our Boo. Your floppy little ears. Your wide eyes. Your calm demeanor. Your feisty self. We miss it all. Your uncle John paid you a compliment earlier tonight. We were talking about how Luna isn’t destructive when left alone and he said it’s because she learned it from you, on how to be a good dog…and I think he’s right. She learned a lot from you. As much as you took cue from her, she learned alot of her mannerisms from you. We have you to thank for that. We have had two great dogs. You turned many non-dog lovers into at least dog-likers. That’s a big feat. And I’m proud of you, always.

Today is your pawps birthday. We just finished singing happy birthday and he just blew the candle out. We all thought of you. This is his first birthday since maybe 14 (?) years old that you haven’t been there. He’s had you in his life longer than he has had without you. So, as you can imagine…he misses you deeply and longs for you always. Can you please watch over him? Make sure he’s ok? Let him know you’re not gone for good, just gone for now..that you’ve gone ahead to prepare an epic home and feast for him…we will likely celebrate many birthdays without you from here on out…and it’s going to be tough…but please know we won’t forget you…and know that if we could, we’d have you physically here with us. We love you so much, Boo. Thank you for being…just the BEST dog ever…the BEST MOST LOVING AND KIND friend anyone could ask for.

Soon, we will be packing up some of your things…clearing out the room where we spent your last moments with us…and it’s deeply painful. It feels like betrayal to lock away the things that are yours…as though we are discarding you…letting you go, for a second time…I’m sorry for that. The truth is, I don’t want to have to lose any of these precious Knick knacks…and instead of having your things strewn about, it just seems more respectful to you to have them neatly stored away…where they can be kept safely.

I told myself that I would make note of things that I want to remember about you…so since I’m already crying, here goes the start of that list:

1) your Doritos shaped ears and how when you laid on your back they’d flop open like the wings of an airplane preparing for ascent.

2) the fact that whenever I motioned a headscratch, you’d coming trotting. We should have known at that point that you were in fact an affectionate dog. I’m sorry it took us so long to realize that.

3) how your nose was patterned like a cracked desert plain.

4) how you were shorter than your sister but you had such “manly” paws as I’d often tell you LOL. You had hefty paws and I’ll always miss the soft patch of fur in the center of your paw

5) how when you’d play tug with your pawps and he would say “OW!” You would know to automatically let go. I never told you but I think that’s one of your coolest tricks ever.

6) how you were able to learn the trick Bang at the age of 15(?)

7) how you’d do zoomies from the room to your pawps’ apartment living room. Just back and forth, drifting with your overgrown nails. Lol. Sorry we didn’t take you to get groomed as often as we should have.

8) how you were so effective at sitting. You looked like a little standing log. Just the cutest

9) how you had exactly 1 hartz chew toy your whole life and you cherished it so much even when there was nothing but plastic left

10) the puperoni treats I got you that you loved (but let’s be honest, what treat DIDNT you love? Lolol). That was the first treat I had ever gotten you. I guess it was my peace treaty for taking away your pawps all those years ago. I’m sorry we didn’t make more time to spend with you. I hope you understood that we were young, dumb, and too in love to know any better.

11) how effective you are at swaddling yourself. You. Were. SO. Effective. Whenever I’d find you swaddled it looked like someone had done it for you. Our good boy.

12) how you slept and slept and slept. How you never judged me when my depression got too bad to actually get up and live. You just let me be and let me rest. Thank you for that and thank you for teaching your sister that. I appreciate you.

13) how chocolatey brown you were from 8-13 yrs old.

14) how when we’d get out of the shower, you would be first in line to lick the water off our legs. LOL it was so annoying but you had a fascination with licking.

15) how you would get episodes of fixation where you’d lick one specific spot of a bed or blanket until it was soaking wet. Again, gross but it was a very Boo thing to do.

16) your green striped bed that you loved SO much and that we were never able to replace. The reasons why you loved it? Well, let’s just say you played with it in the biblical sense as your pawps would say. LOL iykyk

17) how you’d curl up into a little toasty cinnamon roll

18) how you’d get cold so easily, just like me! So there was a tug o war between Luna and pawps versus you and me. We usually won. ;-)

19) how you somehow would coordinate GI issues with me. TMI, I know. But when we would go traveling, if I was backed up, so were you. Lol it was weird and comforting all at the same time.

20) how you’d done so well using the restroom in concrete jungles like Chicago and NY. Good job and thank you for being such a good boy.

21) how when we first took you to Ohio we made the rookie mistake of not bringing you any water or snacks aboard the flight. We resorted to feeding you a few pieces of chips. You didn’t seem to mind LOL.

22) how when you would see squirrels you’d charge so fast you’d end up choking yourself and coughing. Lol I’d tell you to knock it off but it never worked.

23) how you’d try chasing squirrels, we’d let the leash go for you to do so but you’d never catch up to them…and they’d climb up the tree already if you were remotely close. surprise surprise lolol.

24) how we had to teach you how to go up and down a flight of stairs because you were initially scared of them. It was adorable.

25) how when we traveled your face would squish up against the bag and make funny faces for you. Again, that was our fault for not getting you registered as an ESA. Even though we found the largest bag we could for you, you were a long dog and it didn’t seem long enough. I’m sorry if you were uncomfortable.

26) how when you play fight with your sister you would pretend to bite her by holding your open mouth near her..you would then turn this energy into a very enthusiastic yawn. It was always very cute to see.

27) seeing you and Luna share a bed. You would always sleep the opposite of your sister. If she was sleeping left to right, you were sleeping right to left. Truly a yin Yang situation.

28) the way you loved Luna and us. Just the sweetest. You defended your pawps honor against grandpa…just like Luna tried defending your honor at the very end…I hope you saw that and know how much she loved you…I know she misses you often…when we go into the room, she will still smell your things. I’ve had unkind thoughts come to mind about the grief we will experience all over again when we have to move out of this apartment and into a place of our own…the memories associated with that room..will remain…but I’ll take heart in knowing that you are in my heart, and that will be with me always.

29) how we would fill your ears with toilet paper to keep them dry when we bathed you and you hated it. LOL! you were very effective at shaking those pieces of toilet paper out.

30) when we took you to the beach in Canada and you had fun but were over it in .5 seconds LOL. Then pawps had to shower you with no soap because you had sand all over you. LOL fun times. Remember the little side bed I made for you out of that love seat? LOL

31) how after I had spent a month in Ohio with you, you proceeded to approach any dark haired female who looked remotely Asian. Lolol, I missed you then as well.

32) how all it took for you to eat was pawps pretend eating your food, smacking his lips, and you were convinced whatever he had was what you would have too. You were just the most convenient dog. Thank you for always putting us first.

33) how you know the word “tedur” for sleep.

34) how you used to wait for us to finish eating and then realize you wouldn’t get scraps…so you would give in and eat your kibble…but you’d get mouthfuls at a time and bring it to us then eat it. Cute boy.

35) how towards right before the end…perhaps the few months or half year before you left us, you were my work buddy…any time I got up to use the restroom or get water, you got up…as though you were protecting me…you just wanted to see where I was going and that I was okay. Once you determined I was safe, you’d go back to your bed and curl up, awaiting my return. My sweet boy, I miss you.

For now, good night or good day, Boo. I’ll miss you for always. I hope your having a great time in heaven and I hope the snack buffet is to be envied. I love you my sweet boy. You’re so kind. You’re so handsome. You’re so smart. I love you. Good night…I’ll see you, when I see you.

Everyone as of the s8 finale:

Boatem crew: Scar built a rocket over the boatem hole, scamming the others out of all their diamonds and getting everyone test dummy suits in the process. He specifically built the rocket upside down, with 4 trap door directly over the boatem hole. The crew put on their suits and got into the rocket, proceeding to go through the trap doors and into the hole. They stand in the hole, standing on nothing and surrounded by a background of ender particles and portal, joking around and saying that they can only wait. Scar casually suggests that the blue particles could be seasons or worlds that they’ll travel to.

Bdubs: he keeps talking about how everyone wants to leave. Going around the server with his horse and parrot and checking out all the builds, he keeps saying that it could all be his. He seems genuine while he’s talking about it. The hermits have a meeting that quickly turns into everyone agreeing that they should leave, dispersing within a minute. At that point, he’s completely sure that everyone is leaving. He even says that Tango and Keralis aren’t coming back. He decides to stay. (everything’s falling apart. Tango...Tango’s still in space. He should stay there. He should warn him. Maybe he shouldn’t stay after all)

Cleo: she knows what’s coming, but she has no idea where she’s going afterwards. So, she spends most of the episode stocking up on as much as she can. In the remains of the meeting, she asks Joe what he’s gonna do (”I mean-you’ll always turn up-you always do. So um-” “y-I always do. I-I always do it’ll be fine. Don-Don’t worry about me Cleo I-I’m good. Y-you go.”). She runs alone to and end portal as blocks start floating around her and jumps in. She finds herself in the end, as you’d expect. The portal back to the overworld is gone.

Joe: the longer the episode goes on for, the more alarmed he seems, even if it’s subtle. He doesn’t trust Scar that much, but he gives him Diamond Hooves anyways. He asks what Cleo’s going to do. She says she was going to “bug out.” He assures her that he’ll be fine. He hadn’t actually formed much of a plan, just random beginnings of ones. When she leaves, he listens to X and Wels talk about their plans for a few seconds before making his decision. For the first time in season 8, he puts on an elytra and flies away.

Keralis and Xb: they have 2 plans. Keralis’s space station, and Xb’s bunker. They have a room for each other in their builds and everything. Their back up plans are each other. They’re only depending on themselves and each other to get through the moon crashing. Despite both of them sounding like they want to stick together, they’re separate when the moon finally crashes. Xb’s safely inside his bunker. Keralis doesn’t get to his station in time.

Rendoc: the viewers gave Doc what they found from the book him and Ren got from killing each other. Using the information, he built a portal, but no one knew how to activate it at first. Eventually, they figured it out. Eight observers, eight heads from their Octa-killing-spree. All they had to do was put a head on each observer. Doing so, during a thunderstorm of course, the portal burst with thunder, just like Power Node 1. (Renbob watches them from outside of the simulation as they start up the portal). They’re afraid of it, but they don’t want to stay in the simulation any longer. They jump in.

Tango: he did it. He’s on the moon! ...........Bdubs sent him a message. It’s so glitchy it’s hard to hear what he’s saying. There are asteroids landing behind him. He sounds so panicked. He has to save the sever now............................his rocket blew up. Holsten’s gone. He still has people who need him. He set’s the tnt next to the crystals that Holsten said were gonna help. But of course, the stupid moon bunny had to set it off too early. Tango gets caught in the crossfire and it shoots him into space.

X: finally, Evil x’s spell has finally been lifted. He’s even back to wearing his old suit again! The server isn’t looking very good though... he feels bad for everyone’s builds! Not to mention the blocks flying and the size of the moon. But thanks to the viewers he has a good plan. Just go to the nether! No earthquakes, no flying blocks, nothing is going on in the nether. Luckily, he makes it in time.

Jevin: he gives Mashed Potato and Pickle to Scar, trusting him to keep them safe. They’ll be living in a cupboard for a while, but that’s okay. As long as they’re safe. From there, it’s simple. build a rocket. Head to space. Avoid the moon.

Gem and False: they both know the bunker isn’t good enough. False reassures Gem, saying that the bunker is perfect. She’s lying. And she already has an escape plan. They both panic as they individually create their escapes. Gem with her deer and False with her bird. Gem sends Goose to Scar. When the flying blocks take away the option of her deer sleigh, Gem has a plan c. A portal made out of amethyst. Meanwhile, False flys away without the issues.

Cub: he tried, nothing worked. He gives up on being a mooner and goes to bed. Even a few amethyst and daylight sensors have started to disappear by the time he decides to get going. All he has to do is have everything he needs in his inventory, wear full netherite armour, and shoot himself into space with a redstone machine. As simple and normal as a Cubfan can be.

Lone Star Hate Watch 3x01

Welcome back to me torturing myself on a weekly basis

Disclaimer: Hi. If you love Lone Star, that's great! Please don't read this and enjoy your show.

Eddie Diaz for beautiful, cleansing energy:

And here we go!

I remember almost nothing of Season 2 but here's a quick recap of the things I do remember:

Grace and Judd are having a baby

Carlos' apartment burned down

The 126 fire station blew up

There was an arsonist

Tommy's husband died

Tim got smashed by a lava rock

Billy Burke was a li'l stinker

And that's about it!

As usual, this is a stream of consciousness as I watch the episode, so here we go!

I'm guessing Owen punched Billy in the face but I have no memory of that

I'm definitely Team Billy in this one, as always

Owen's a little bitch

Question – why the fuck does everyone want to captain the 126 so badly? Like, what is the deal with the 126? I don't get it

Wasn't Billy the captain of another fire station? It would be like if Bobby was all "yeah listen you guys at the 118 are great but I just have so much more of a boner for the 133 y'all"

"like a scorned lover" like WHAT

I'm sorry but it's just a firehouse you guys

You know I don't think Owen and Billy are going to be BFF after this

Fucking Owen "what happens to me isn't important" fuck off

They're going to tear down the building and everything 10/10 BURN IT TO THE GROUND

I just don't care about any of this

God I forgot about Ronen's dumb face

Fuck I'm glad it doesn't snow where I live

Are they gonna let those turtles fucking freeze

Oh he's going to fall through the ice SAVING a turtle

There's a PERSON IN THE ICE?? What the actual fuck

I've seen this Chuck guy in something before

Do you know as much as I enjoy Gina Torres I'm still holding a grudge against her for her part in the disaster that was Angel Season 4, which I haven't seen in 15 years but will never watch again

(Can I blame Tim Minear for Angel Season 4?)

Oh Julie Benz is in this! JULIE BENZ!

Who the fuck is this Chuck guy and why is he such a douchebag

Also I'm just going to say that as much as I love the found family aspect of the OG (because it feels organic) – I am going to say that it's weird that these guys haven't worked together in six months and they seemingly have not made any other friends in that time

Carlos definitely dumped TK

"Are you kidding me Nancy?" TK says in a monotone

You know what I love so much about the TK/Carlos relationship? They put so much care and attention into that I'm pretty sure the last time we saw them in Season 2 they were all loved up and shit and now we start Season 3 with them broken up, because they couldn't even be fucked to show the relationship falling apart. Unless TK roughing Carlos up was the relationship falling apart? Like maybe Carlos told someone about how his boyfriend pushed him around and they were like, "Oh hey that's really alarming that your boyfriend would do that to you huh," and Carlos was like, "Holy shit IT IS and also it's weird that he never shows any human emotions?"

Welcome to Season 3 of me slamming on TK because he fucking sucks

Oh now TK doesn't want Carlos to come because he wasn't in the 126? What a little bitch

Carlos definitely dumped him

I hope those cookies have laxatives in them

Oh look at JUDD OMG

Why can't this show just be about THEM

He's painting CLOUDS and ANIMALS

Jesus Christ everyone it's just a fucking building

Also I choose to believe that Buck unfollowed Marjan after he realised how deeply stupid her content is

THEY'RE CROWD FUNDING REOPENING THE FUCKING FIREHOUSE????

I hate this show

Carlos is very hot and way too good for TK

How am I only 12 minutes into this

"It's important to know when a thing is over" – Carlos DEFINITELY DUMPED TK

"We used to be a family" girl you can still be friends are you fucking kidding me

What happened to the boy in the lake? Are we coming back to that or… no

JULIE BENZ

JULIE BENZ IS HERE

Get the fuck away from Owen, Julie, you can DO SO MUCH BETTER

Is Owen not a firefighter anymore?

You know… he could've gone back to New York or something but like whatever

Be a shitty lumberjack

Skiing behind a car gee that's going to end well

Oh fuck

Okay

Fucking seriously

Oh Mateo's now the "best guy"

"Hey look at our little probie all grown up" what an asshole

BILLY BAILED HER OUT?

Plot twist

I fucking love Billy

I just feel like they're all a little obsessed with the 126 to an unhealthy degree

That kid's still stuck in the lake though

His blood is MELTING THE ICE

THEY'RE PACKING THE WOUND WITH SNOW???

It just feels like there could be some like, contamination or something

You know?

Oh my god I'm only at 22 minutes

Can't we transfer Carlos to LA?

Like hear me out – we cancel Lone Star, right? But we transfer Carlos to LA and he's then in LA and that's a good, nice thing for us all to have. And we never see TK again.

And then Grace and Judd get their own spin-off where they're just incredibly competent at their jobs and also super adorable together

Oooh Captain Strand abandoned them

Oh she went home and printed the fucking employment letter damn Marjan

"At the end of the day a man's got to be able to look himself in the mirror" – "or in Captain Strand's case, every hour on the hour" DAMN SOLID BURN PAUL

These people are way too obsessed with each other

I say as a fan of the OG like they're all not obsessed with each other too BUT STILL - actually you know what the difference is? The core 118 all has their own families outside of work but their work family is also their extended family, and that's why it feels organic.

Okay so like listen – say what you will about 5a of the OG and how it's been a little disjointed (on purpose) but like – they've essentially split up the core 118 family, right? Chim's been MIA, Eddie and Buck were split up as partners and now Eddie is (temporarily) leaving, Buck's trapped in a miserable, soul-sucking relationship etc etc

So Lone Star has pretty much done the same thing here

But where in the OG it's part of the continuing story – Maddie's PPD, Eddie's PTSD, Chimney going to find Maddie, Buck trapping himself with Taylor – this is simply because their firehouse exploded, burned down, Billy closed it and now they can't all work together.

YOU CAN STILL BE FRIENDS??? OUTSIDE OF WORK?

It's so fucking dumb.

The stakes are so low you guys and that's why IT'S SO FUCKING DUMB

Buttercup is not excited to see Marjan AT ALL

I just don't care about any of this

They're stealing "the universe" lines from the OG now?

I hate this show

At least TK hasn't been in this episode much, I mean, that's an upside

"the thing matters most – putting our house back together" like fuck

IT'S JUST A FIREHOUSE GUYS

It's such a slam on the other firehouses they've been working with for six months too, like "yeah you guys are fine but you'll never be as good as we were at the 126!"

"Rasputin in a man bun" oh BITCH no YOU DIDN'T

Billy is so much more than A MAN BUN, Owen

(he might be Rasputin though)

That roof's gonna cave in friends

Oh Carlos what a hero

"in the rig as in life" fuck I HATE THIS DUMB FUCKING SHOW

"I'm not telling you why Carlos and I broke up" because he dumped you

Because you suck

And he finally fucking realised how much you suck

That kid's still in the lake you guys

Oh now they're face to face

Carlos STAY STRONG

Oh no the red haired volunteer chick isn't there

You know how on the OG they're showing Buck and Eddie slowly becoming more distant after their shared traumatic experience? So we, the audience, know that things aren't right between them?

This show couldn't even be fucked to show TK & Carlos breaking up

Like that's the difference

Because when Buck and Eddie reunite it will feel worthwhile and like we've waited for it all season, we will have earned it

But on this show? They'll just get them back together and that'll be it, you watch

Maybe Owen will freeze to death? We can only hope

I mean I know I should care about this Paul/Marjan cliffhanger

But I don't.

This show is so dumb and I hate it so much.

Like I genuinely can't believe that Tim is wasting more time on this trash than the OG - but then I can believe it, because I feel like Season 3 is make it or break it for Lone Star and I really hope it breaks it.

#lone star hate watch #it's not great you guys #this show continues to be the worst

I’m a playwright. I mostly write about dead women forgotten from the history books. Giving them a voice and putting them back into the canon brings me peace. Did blowing up one of the most beloved television characters of all time bring Rob Thomas peace? I have tried to look at what Rob Thomas did to Logan from a completely unbiased writer’s perspective and this is what I came up with.

1. Rob Thomas is an idiot. I’m talking, full on, did not realize what he was destroying, idiot. Perhaps, he thought the show truly was so much bigger than Veronica and Logan’s relationship. I think the show is bigger than Veronica and Logan being together. However, I do not think it is big enough as it has been written by Rob, to be bigger than having the core surviving characters involved. If Rob, thinks that he can just blow Logan up and this fanbase will follow him into the night, than he is an idiot. He said in interviews that he has planned this death for years. That this death was a bridge to this new Sherlock/Fargo show of the future. Anybody gonna watch that?

2. Rob Thomas doesn’t like working with Jason Dohring. I have absolutely no proof that is the case, but usually when fan favorite characters get written off it is because behind the scenes people are not getting along anymore. Hell, he put a bad wig on James Jordan and had him play another role. If he does LOVE Jason Dohring SO much, will he pop up with a bad wig and play a beat cop in some town angry Veronica ends up in? Jason says he loves working with Rob, so I would assume this is not it.

3. Rob Thomas hates the character Logan. Logan was never originally supposed to be a main character. Logan and Veronica were never supposed to be a couple. Logan wasn’t meant to become so intensely a part of the heart of the show. (Granted, neither was Keith the way Rob originally intended for him to be.) Kristen has expressed that she is Team Piz and has always found LoVe to be toxic. It’s not Jason they wanted gone, they just didn’t want Veronica to have to be with Logan. (Again, that does not mean you have to blow him up.)

4. Rob Thomas is a whiny, egotistical, asshole. Waaaaah the studio wouldn’t let me do this. Waaaaah the higher ups wanted the opening to be like THAT. Waaaaaah they won’t let me kill ALL the kids on the bus. Waaaaaah I’m gonna have to pander to the fans for this movie. Waaaaaaah LOVE has to be end game. Waaaaaaah they won’t let me say the F word. That’s it! I AM GOING TO DO EXACTLY WHAT I WANT! Forget the fans. Forget the actors who helped launch my entire career. Forget the integrity of the story. I’m gonna do what I WANT! Because I am a genius and I am the reason Veronica Mars exists at all!

5. Rob Thomas truly thinks that married women can’t be badass. By now, many of you have probably read the interviews Rob has done where he talks about Veronica having a husband or a boyfriend and it just killing her ability to be a badass boss.

(Mind you, he had already given Logan a career that could take him away in an instant for GIANT chunks of time, and he could have just, I don’t know, HAD HIM GO MISSING IN ACTION and had Veronica search CONTINENTS for him AND MAC COULD HELP IN Istanbul AND IT WOULD BE EPIC? NO? NOBODY? SORRY I AM YELLING.)

Rob felt like, Veronica has to go on mystery adventures and we would all just go on the road with her. He’s betting we choose mystery over the relationships, when the only truly captivating mystery he ever wrote was, who killed Lilly Kane. Therefore, he must have wanted to break up Logan and Veronica for good in highschool and he’s been pissy about it ever since. Fucking fine then, don’t start season four with them even together. Not only did you start it with them together, you HAD HIM PROPOSE. You evil, vindictive man.

6. Rob Thomas doesn’t want to do Veronica Mars anymore. Even if he’s a giant idiot, super egotistical, or misogynistic enough to think married women can’t have fun, he HAD TO KNOW this would be the end. Right? So, maybe he’s over it. Maybe, he felt like he couldn’t truly move on with his life unless he blew this up? Maybe, he realized there’s better Veronica Mars fanfic out there than anything he’s written since season 2?

Please do a scenario for the GOM reacting to their figure skater gf. Thank you 💜 I love your blog btw, its nice to see that the knb fandom is still alive. My heart is patiently waiting for a season 4 huhuhu 😭

Omg i will die if there’s ever a season 4. Also this was such a cute idea and I made Kise’s one so long and tbh it’s a concept for a wholeass fic lmao. Anyways, hope you like it xx

Scenario: GOM with a figure skater s/o

Kise

You and Kise had only been dating for a few weeks so there was still so much to learn about each other. Everyday there was something new that he learned about you that made him fall in love with you more and more. Even the smallest little things about you sparked his interest. Just the other day, he had a whole moment when he found out you liked the same cereal as he did.

Of course, him finding out you did figure skating elicited a bigger reaction from him than just liking the same cereal. It was just another Tuesday for you when your school day finally approached it’s end. Just you were heading out the school gates, you spotted your boyfriend standing and waving with a big smile on his face.

“Ryouta!” you squealed as you ran into his arms. “What are you doing here?” you questioned, not used to seeing him here since he was in a different school.

“I came to surprise my lovely girlfriend and invite her on a date of course,” he replied sweetly.

“Oh,” you said, your smile faltering as your shoulders dropped in evident disappointment. “I appreciate it, but I actually have practice today.”

“Practice?” Kise furrowed his brows. “Practice for what?”

“I have figure skating practice today. I usually head to the rink after sch—“

“You figure skate?” Kise exclaimed rather loudly; you were quite sure the whole street heard him.

“Yeah I do,” you giggled at his excitement.

“Y/N-cchi, how come you never told me? Can I watch your practice?” he asked, wide-eyed.

“You really want to watch? It can get a bit boring,” you asked.

“Of course I want to watch!” he beamed as he took your hand in his. “Lead the way.”

Grabbing a snack from a grocery store on the way, the two of you headed to the rink, where your coach was waiting for you.

“Woah, you get this while place to yourself?” Kise said breathlessly when you entered the chilly arena with skates in one hand and Kise’s palm in the other.

“Sometimes other people train here too, but today seems like it’s just me,” you shrugged.

You and Kise moved to the stands so you could get your skates on before you got onto the ice. After warming up for a bit, your coach went over your usual drills before you began to rehearse your routine that you were practicing for an upcoming competition.

Meanwhile, Kise was watching you wait nothing but intrigue in his amber eyes. Even while you were just doing your exercises, he found you absolutely graceful. Needless to say, when he finally saw the routine, he was over the moon. He had to hold himself back from hooting and cheering during it in case that threw you off. He was so excited in fact, that he had moved from his seat in the stands to the area right by the rink so he could get a closer look. His eyes never left you for even a moment.

Once your practice was over, you skated over to the edge where Kise was bent over the rails. “Well, boring isn’t it?” You said to him.

“Are you kidding me? You’re mesmerising! My Y/N-cchi is so talented,” he said, stealing a quick kiss from your lips.

Caught up in the moment, you didn’t notice your coach make his way over to you two. “You must be Kise,” he said, holding his hand out for the blonde to shake.

“Yes I am. Y/N-cchi’s been talking about me, haven’t you?” Kise inferred, throwing you a cheeky grin.

“Y/N’s mentioned you a fair few times,” your coach chuckled. “It’s your first time here isn’t it?”

“Yeah it is,” Kise nodded.

“Well, Y/N seems to do much better when you’re here. You should visit more often,” your coach said, making you want to crawl in a hole out of embarrassment.

“Is that so? I’ll do that for sure,” Kise laughed. “I was thinking that I should pick up ice skating too— just casually though.”

“Really?” you asked, eyes lighting up.

“Yeah, we could do a routine together if you’re up for it. Let me get the basics down first though,” Kise suggested.

“I can give you a few pointers if you need any. If I think your routine is good enough, maybe I’ll enter you two in a competition,” your coach said.

You were excited now; Kise was a quick learner so there was no doubt that you’d be practicing with him in no time.

A few months went by and Kise was attending almost all of your practices with you. He’d gotten quite good at it too— there were still a few falls that were absolutely hilarious because he’d whine every time, but for the most part he was much better than most amateurs.

Your coach was very amused by his progress too. “A basketball player and a figure skater in one— you don’t see that often,” he’d chuckle.

Figure skating was never something Kise saw himself doing. But looking at how beautiful you looked when you skated, an eagerness was lit up in him. No matter how hard he’d practice, he knew he’d never match up to you. There was something about the way you moved so gracefully that made him feel like whatever he attempted was inferior. He wasn’t complaining though— he was doing this for fun after all. Plus getting to see you move like that was a privilege enough.

Moreover, skating with you allowed him to spend even more time with you, and that time only increased when you two got serious about your routine as partners. Neither of you were expecting to win the competition, but you were certainly having fun in the process.

Eventually the day came where you were in an official arena with Kise. Sliding onto the ice with someone was a strange feeling as someone who was used to competing individually. In a way, it was reassuring. Kise held your hand tight as you got into position in the centre of the rink.

“Ryouta, I’m actually kinda nervous,” you muttered to him.

Honey eyes looked at you softly as your hand was squeezed even tighter. “Don’t be— I’m here with you, every step of the way,” he whispered. “Besides, you can’t possibly look worse than me.”

You felt the tension ease a little as you let out a giggle. “If we go down we go down together, I guess,” you shrugged, the idea bringing you a strange comfort.

“Exactly,” Kise smiled. He looked to the side and spotted the technician giving you two a thumbs up. “You ready?”

“As ready as I’ll ever be,” you replied.

Kise nodded in confirmation before letting go of your hand and getting into position. “We got this.”

Midorima

Midorima loves you; he loves everything you do. Even if you murdered someone, he’d probably still love you (though he’d probably scold you while he helps you hide the body— but let’s not get into the specifics of that). Needless to say, he absolutely adored watching you skate.

Midorima is a busy person though, so it’s hard for him to find time to watch you as much as he’d like. Every time he did get the chance though, he was absolutely mesmerised, as though he was experiencing it for the first time all over again.

He’d never forget the first time he saw you skate though. You’d just begun dating and you had a competition that you invited him to. He wanted to meet up with you before it started, but his basketball practice ran on for longer than he expected. For a moment, he thought he’d miss it all together, but after a quick train ride and a lot of running, he made it just in time for your slot.

Admittedly, Midorima was really unfamiliar with figure skating. He told himself that he’d read into it since you were a skater yourself, but he never got the chance to. He made his way into the crowded stands and found himself a seat, feeling rather out of place considering he was still in his bright orange tracksuit. He didn’t dwell on it for too long though because his attention was quickly drawn to the ice that you were gliding onto.

For a fleeting moment, his jaw dropped. You looked gorgeous. The confidence you seemed to have as you got into position was a side of you he’d never seen before. It was like a different person altogether. Your name was announced in the speakers, eliciting a cheer from the crowd following by a small chatter that snapped him out of his trance for a moment. The music began to play and the crowd died down as all eyes were on you.

Right off the bat, you moved with purpose. Blades gliding on the sleek ice with such grace as your body swayed to the music. The moment you landed your first triple axel, Midorima was sure of it— this was your element. Completely lost in your routine, Midorima’s breath was taken away. And when it finally ended with a loud cheer from the crowd, he was left amazed. When his horoscope placed Cancer in first that day, he didn’t think he’d be so lucky to see something this gorgeous, but here he was.

He quickly rushed down the stands to meet up with you the moment he pulled himself together. As you were taking your skates off, you spotted him approaching you almost immediately— I mean, how can you not notice the 6 foot tall, green-haired man?

Your face lit up in an instant as you ran over to him barefooted and leaped into his arms. “Shin! You made it!” you exclaimed in glee.

“Well, I couldn’t miss a performance that good, now could I?” he said with a soft smile as he hugged you tight.

“You liked it? It wasn’t really my best score, but it’s up there,” you said, composing yourself and pulling away from him.

“I don’t really understand the scoring system, but you were phenomenal— really. I could watch you do that all day if I could,” he said genuinely.

“I don’t think I have the stamina to be skating like that all day,” you giggled. “But thank you, it means a lot.”

After that day, Midorima did his best to free up some space in his schedule to watch you practice. Seriously, he was addicted to watching you skate. It blew his mind every time. Of course, he’d be there for every single competition, cheering you on because he was now without a doubt, your biggest fan.

Aomine

“Competition? What competition?” Aomine questioned one day as the two of you walked to school together.

“Have I not told you before? I figure skate,” you said simply.

Aomine stopped in his tracks for a moment, catching you off guard as you stopped too to see what had happened. He just stared at you with a baffled expression. “You figure skate?! That’s fucking hot! Why haven’t you told me before?” Aomine exclaimed.

You couldn’t help but laugh. “Well I’m telling you now. I’m guessing you’ll be there tonight then?”

“That shouldn’t even be a question,” Aomine shook his head as he took your hand in his and continued walking. “Are you any good?” He asked.

“Well, I’m good enough to be in a competition, aren’t I?”

“True. I bet you’re great at it; you’re great at everything,” Aomine said.

“That’s not true,” you replied.

“It is.”

“So you’re saying I’m great at basketball too?”

Aomine visibly hesitated as he thought back to all the times he tried to teach you how to play. “Uh, yeah sure, let’s say that,” he lied.

“Shut up,” you laughed, playfully punching his arm.

For some reason, Aomine would not shut up about you being a figure skater for the rest of the day. You were trying to have a conversation with Momoi when he intervened, “Did you know Y/N’s a figure skater? How cool is that?”

“Yes I did know, Dai-chan. I’m guessing you told him about the competition today?” Momoi said returning her attention to you.

You nodded in response but Aomine stood there, slightly offended. “You told her but not me?”

“I just assumed you knew,” you shrugged, finding it quite cute how he was so invested in your sport.

“You shouldn’t assume I know anything,” Aomine said, making both you and Momoi roll your eyes and laugh at him.

Eventually, evening came and you were in the waiting room with your coach, with your eyes glued on the screen that broadcasted the current participant as you mentally prepared yourself for your turn, which was creeping up upon you. Meanwhile, Aomine was seated in the audience with Momoi, being as impatient as ever. “When is Y/N coming?” he yawned.

“Y/N should be up next,” Momoi informed as the song slowly reached its end.

The crowd cheered and a chatter started once again as everyone waited for the next person to take the ice. It took a few more minutes, but you finally entered the rink, skating to the center to get into position.

Almost immediately, Aomine’s jaw dropped. You looked stunning. The way your suit dazzled and clung onto your body was pure art. He swore that he fell in love with you all over again just at the sight.

The music began after a nod of confirmation from you and your skates began to roam the ice ever so smoothly. Aomine was blown away. You were nothing like the previous participants. The way you moved was so clean and purposeful. With each spin and leap, Aomine’s heart skipped a beat— you had his complete attention.

He was quite sure Momoi was talking to him, but he didn’t hear a word. For some reason, everything else around him seemed to fade out as he watched you skate, almost like he was stuck in a trance.

He was finally snapped out of it when the routine came to an end, leaving him at a loss for words as he joined the crowd in their applause.

You made your way off the ice and headed back inside towards the changing rooms, where you ran into Aomine and Momoi in the hallways. “Oh hey guys, what did you think?” You asked as you rotated your ankles nonchalantly to relieve them from the slight soreness you felt.

“You were so so good, Y/N. Dai-chan was so silent during the entire thing, I think you hypnotised him or something,” Momoi joked as she nudged Aomine’s arm playfully.

You turned your attention to your boyfriend, who was rolling his eyes at Momoi’s comment. “Well, was that performance worth all the hype you seemed to have?” you asked him.

“Of course it did. You did so well out there— not to mention the fact that you look incredible in that suit,” Aomine said, still unable to take his eyes off of you.

“Aw really?” You smiled.

“Yeah, you look fucking hot,” Aomine responded confidently.

You couldn’t help but giggle before you got on your toes to place a kiss of gratitude on his cheek, making him flustered. “Well, thank you Daiki— it means a lot.”

Murasakibara

You won’t be able to find someone that loves you more than Murasakibara does. Really, you won’t. He loves everything about you. Your smile, your looks, your mind, and even your hobbies. As someone who doesn’t really take much interest in other people, it was a brand new feeling to be absolutely smitten over you. But he was dedicated.

The two of you were still getting to know more about each other in the first few weeks of dating and the topic of sports came up. “Do you play any sports, Y/N-chin?” Murasakibara asked you during one of your video calls at night that he liked to have when he had nothing else to do.

“Yeah, I’m actually a figure skater,” you replied.

Murasakibara’s eyes lit up. “Really? That’s so cool. Do you go for practice and stuff?”

“Yeah, duh. I practice almost everyday.”

“No way. Can I come watch your next practice?” he asked.

“Sure, but I feel like you might find it boring,” you said hesitantly, knowing that you wouldn’t want to sit there for hours doing absolutely nothing but watch.

“Well, I guess I’ll find out,” Murasakibara said surely. “Do you have any videos of you skating?”

“Yeah but they’re not on my phone.”

“Send them to me, I wanna see you skate.”

You giggled. “Atsushi, you’ll see me skate at practice, can’t you wait until then?”

“No, I can’t wait. I bet you look really cute when you skate,” he said as brought another potato chip to his mouth.

“Well, you’re going to have to wait because I’m not sending you anything,” you said dismissively.

“How mean,” he pouted.

Luckily, you managed to change the topic of the conversation before he could beg of you any more. The day for your next practice came and Murasakibara was brimming with excitement as you two entered the arena.

After instructing him to sit at the stands, you took to the ice where you started with the warmups that your coach told you to do. Practice went on and Murasakibara gave you his full attention— which is an incredibly rare sight.

As he watched you stretch and leap and fall, he couldn’t help but be impressed. He certainly could never be able to do any of the things you were doing— it looked exhausting. Something about the way you moved had him captivated though. You looked like you were having fun. No matter how many times you’d fall or mess up, you always seemed passionate about it and that was something he envied ever so slightly, but at the same time he found it such a lovely sight.

You truly loved the sport, he could see it so clearly. And automatically, he had a newfound interest in it too. It wasn’t that he wanted to try figure skating himself, it was just the fact that he loved seeing you so happy that he began to enjoy the sport too.

“I’m surprised you haven’t fallen asleep yet,” you said to him jokingly once your practice came to an end.

“Well, you were just that good— you had my full interest,” Murasakibara shrugged.

“Really? I didn’t expect you’d enjoy it that much,” you said.

“I did. I might just watch all your practices from now on.”

“Sure you will,” you said sarcastically.

Little did you know, that he would actually do just that. At almost every practice, he’d be seated in the stands, eyes full of admiration as he watched you. He would often bring you little snacks that you liked so that you’d have something to eat after practice. There were times where he’d be extra tired, but he’d still make it to the rink, even though you’d tell him countless times not to feel obligated to watch. It usually ended with him falling asleep halfway through, but he never regretted it. It was always nice waking up to the happy face of the person he admired.

Akashi

Akashi was well aware that you were a figure skater before he began dating you. Of course, he’d never seen you actually figure skate, but he knew random things about almost everyone around him and being interested in you only made him want to get to know you more.

Akashi is a very supportive boyfriend to you, especially when it comes to your passions. Figure skating was a very beautiful sport in his eyes and the fact that the person he was dating was a figure skater was something he’d never get over.

Being the calculating person he is, he decided to take you ice skating on one of your first dates with him. It wasn’t a particularly busy day at the public ice rink so Akashi got quite lucky when the two of you got there and realised that the place was practically empty.

“Looks like we got the whole place to ourselves,” Akashi said as the two of you slid onto the ice, hand in hand.

“Yeah, it’s quite nice actually,” you smiled, appreciating the serenity of the place. “It’s kind of making me want to do a routine or something,” you thought out loud.

“Then do it.”

“No, we’re on a date, we should just skate together,” you shook your head.

“No, I insist. I’ve been wanting to watch you skate for a while now, and the opportunity finally came,” he said. “Besides, it’s just one routine, shouldn’t take too long, right?”

You let out a sigh as a soft smile spread across your face. “Yeah, I suppose,” you shrugged. “But don’t expect too much— I’m not in the most comfortable of clothes right now.”

Akashi chuckled. “No judgement from me. I just want to watch you skate.”

“Alright,” you smiled as you skated over to the centre of the rink.

Akashi stepped out and leaned against the rails to watch you from the sidelines, barely able to contain his excitement. There wasn’t any music playing so all you could hear was the sound of your blades against the ice, echoing throughout the arena. However, that didn’t stop Akashi from being fully immersed in your skating.

He was blown away by the way you skated, especially considering that he sprung this on you out of the blue. Every movement was precise and refined; he could tell that you’ve practiced to perfection and he was impressed. In fact, seeing you move so flawlessly had him swooning over you more than you could possibly imagine.

Eventually, you came to a halt, your breathing heavy after the spins and jumps, though you were quite satisfied now that you got it out of your system. Akashi returned to the ice with a smile on his face. “That was outstanding, Y/N,” he complimented.

“Really? You liked it?”

“Of course I did. It all seemed so professional— you really practice a lot, don’t you?” he pointed out.

“Yeah, I have been for years,” you nodded.

“Well, you’re absolutely stunning on the ice,” he said genuinely as he placed a kiss on your forehead and took your hand in his. “Shall we get back to our date now?”

“Yes, yes, of course.”

As much as Akashi would have adored to watch you practice everyday, the times often overlapped with his basketball training— though he did make it a habit to meet up with you afterwards so that he could walk you home (like the gentleman he his). Even though he was a busy person, he always attended your competitions without fail. He’d always send you a bouquet of flowers before your competitions as well, with little notes wishing you good luck and it would melt your heart every single time.
