Pride & Prejudice & Partridges (J.Seresin)

Pairing: Jake 'Hangman' Seresin x plus size!reader, Jake 'Hangman' Seresin x librarian!reader, Jake 'Hangman' Seresin x Garcia!reader, Jake 'Hangman' Seresin x latina!reader

Word Count: 4580

A/N: Written for @jupitercomet's 12 Days of Christmas Challenge. I had Day 1-Secret Santa. This is also my first Top Gun Maverick fic, so go easy on me! I want to thank the wonderful and amazing @jobean12-blog for letting me bounce ideas off of her and helping me break through my writer's block. Also, many, many thanks to @navybrat817, for her firsthand knowledge of Navy life and for answering my countless questions. You two rock!

Triggers: Death of parents (just mentioned, no specifics), negative talk about self, body image issues. Angst with a happy ending.

Masterlist

You were content with the quiet life you led. Working as a librarian on a US Navy installation allowed you that freedom. NAS Miramar wasn’t small, but it wasn’t huge either. When you worked in the public library system, you were busy quite often…and it was starting to wreak havoc on your mental health. Luckily, around the time you were trying to decide what to do with your career, your brother, Mickey ‘Fanboy’ Garcia, called you to let you know he was going to be stationed at NAS Miramar for the foreseeable future to be part of the now permanent Dagger Squad.

So, you moved to San Diego and onto the installation with Mickey, leaving your hometown behind (it didn’t really bother you to leave because your parents had been gone for several years and your introverted nature didn’t grant you close friends). He helped you get the job at the library and that was that.

The day you finished unpacking your things, Mickey told you he was going to take you out to meet the rest of the squad because the only person you knew was Reuben and you needed to meet some new people in your new home:

“Are you sure that’s okay? I don’t want to invade your group or anyth--"

“Sis…really? This night is for you! I’ve told them all about you and how excited I am to have you with me again.” You smiled big and giggled.

“Aw, you’re such a sweetheart, aren’t ya little bro?”

“Shut up”, pouted Mickey. You grabbed his hand and pulled him to you.

“Thanks. Te quiero, hermanito.”

“I love you too.”

When you and Mickey arrived at the local watering hole, The Hard Deck, you were instantly greeted by Reuben. He pulled you into a tight hug, calling you Little Garcia (which was a ridiculous nickname, seeing as how you were older than Mickey by a year). Shortly after that, Bob, Rooster, Phoenix, and Coyote showed up. You were all sitting around one of the pool tables, drinking beers (in your case, it was an ice cold Dr. Pepper because you weren’t big on drinking) when you heard the most suave and cocky sounding, Texas accent ever:

“What do we have here?” You saw Phoenix roll her eyes and smile.

“Little Garcia, this here is Bagman.”

“Hangman.”

“Whatever.” Hangman laughed and pulled Phoenix into a hug. When she let him go, he turned to look at you.

“So, you’re Fanboy’s sister.” You nodded.

“Y-yes. That’d, uh, that’d be me.”

“Well m’dear, we’re all really happy that Fanboy has you close by again.”

“I’m glad to be here Hangman.” He smiles big and sits on the barstool next to you.

“Please, call me Jake.”

“Okay, Jake.” If this man keeps looking at you with those gorgeous green eyes, you were going to melt.

“So, tell me Little Garcia, what do you do?”

“I’m a librarian. I’m going to be working on base and living with Mickey”, you replied. “Since I was moving down here, he managed to get out of the barracks and into a small house on base.” Jake clapped his hands together and looked around at the group.

“You’re going to be living on the base? That means you deserve your own callsign!” The rest of the squad voiced their agreement. “The question is, what do we call you?”

“How about Libby?” suggested Bob. He made a face when everyone groaned. “I know, I know.” A few of the others made their own suggestions of library related callsigns before Jake stood from his spot next to you.

“I’ve got it!” Jake turned back to you with a huge smile on his face, “How about…Dewey?”

You felt heat crawling up your neck because of the way he was looking at you, like you were the only woman in the room. You knew that that wasn’t possible, that someone as good looking and amazingly talented and a hero like Jake would never look at someone like you that way. Why would a man who looked like he was crafted by Zeus himself look at a chubby librarian twice, when he could have women like Phoenix, or your cousin Isabella (who stole the first boy you ever really had a chance with, away)?

“I like it. Thanks, Jake.” He pulled you into a hug, squeezing you tight.

Oh Lord. You were in trouble.

That was a year ago. Over the last year, it was like you became an honorary member of the Dagger Squad. They became the family you and Mickey were missing. Most of them came to visit you at work. One of those people was Jake. The first time he came by, a month after the two of you met, you were shelving books and he’d snuck up on you, giving you a moment worthy of fan fiction itself.

You stepped up onto the plastic footstool and filed the book in its spot, on the topmost shelf. You had an earbud in and were singing quietly along to “Remember Me” from Coco since you very rarely ever got someone in the library this early in the day, which meant you didn’t hear the door open, and you didn’t hear footsteps coming towards you. You felt something tap you on the shoulder and you let out a scream, feeling yourself tilt backwards. You squeezed your eyes shut and braced yourself for the inevitable pain, but it never came. Instead, you felt the warm embrace of familiar arms.

“You can open your eyes now, darlin’.” Opening one eye, you saw Jake smiling at you. “Sorry I scared you, Dewey.”

“Oh, it’s not a problem. I should’ve been paying more attention and–” It was then that you realized Jake was holding you bridal style. “Oh my God! Jake! Put me down! You’re going to hurt your back or something and I’m going to get in trouble for breaking government property. I’m way too hea–”

You would’ve rambled on had Jake not stopped you.

“Dewey. I’m going to need you to relax. You’re not going to mess up my back and you’re not going to get in trouble. I have trained a long time and I don’t want to sound like a cocky bastard–” You gave him a judgmental eyebrow raise and a Look. “Okay, you have a point.”

“Seriously Jake, I don’t want to hurt you!” Jake rolled his eyes but put you down carefully. “Thank you. I know you work out..I mean look at you, of course you do. I just-lifting weights and doing bench presses is one thing, Jake…”

“Dewey…”

“Thank you for saving me from getting hurt”, you say before Jake can continue with whatever platitudes someone as good looking, built, and thin as him can come up with. You smooth out the skirt of your bright red button front chiffon dress and look up at him since he has at least half a foot on you. “Is there something I can help you find today, Lt. Seresin?”

Jake’s jaw clenched and you could tell he wanted to say more. What you couldn’t figure out was why he seemed to care this much about how you thought of yourself. He was just a friend.

“Uh, no…no.” He ran a hand through his light brown hair. “My sister is coming to visit next week with my nieces for Family Weekend. Are y’all doing anything special?”

“Of course!” You gave him a big smile and proceeded to run through the activities that were planned.

The following week, you got to meet Jesse and Isla Seresin. The bonus was getting to see ‘Uncle Jake’ in action first hand and you hated it because every minute you spent in his presence was making you fall in love with him. This was something you didn’t want because you knew you couldn’t afford a broken heart. Not again. You’d only recently been able to put your heart back together finally coming to term with the loss of your parents. You weren’t going to let a crush derail that progress.

Over the next 10 months, Jake visited you at the base library often, acting like that first conversation between you two never happened. You’d ask after Isla and Jesse, how school was going and when they’d be back to visit again. Jake would even bring you gifts from the girls for their ‘favorite librarian’ when he’d come back from visiting them.

Sometimes Jake would come to the library because he needed to research something for a mission or because he needed to develop some sort of lesson plan now that he was an instructor at TOPGUN. Sometimes he’d come by just to chat. During those chats, you found yourself opening up to him. One day in October, almost a year after you moved to San Diego, Jake and some of the squad were at the library helping with the Halloween Festival for the kids the library staff was throwing in the parking lot. You and Jake were manning the ‘Balloon Dart’ booth, chatting away the time while waiting for some new challengers.

“You know Dewey, in all the time I’ve known you, I don’t think I’ve ever asked you what your favorite book is”, said Jake.

“Is this you asking?”

“Mmhmm.”

“Pride & Prejudice”, you replied, keeping your eyes on your feet. “I know, you don’t have to say it. It’s totally cliché.”

“It’s not cliché at all. It’s a good book.” You looked up at Jake’s comment.

“You like Pride & Prejudice?”

“Your Lizzie Bennett is showing, you know.”

“Sorry.”

“No worries. I read it for school, and I just really liked it”, said Jake. “So, why is it your favorite?”

“It’s one of the first books my mom and I read together”, you replied. Smiling sadly, you continue. “She’d read me a chapter a night. It took a while, but we finally finished it. Afterwards, we borrowed the six-disc BBC mini-series from our local library and watched it all in one day. Colin Firth was so handsome and a perfect Mr. Darcy. Then in 2005, she surprised me with tickets to the movie as a late birthday gift and I just adored Matthew MacFadyen’s version of Darcy. It fed my love of reading, which then inspired my choice in career. Before they died, mom and I had been looking for the ‘Peacock edition’ of the book that was released in 1894. It’s one of the most valuable and gorgeous versions because of the cover and illustrations by Hugh Thomson. I had almost tracked one down, but then…”

You looked away, not wanting to let Jake see you cry, but were unsuccessful. Jake reached over and tipped your face up so he could look you in the eye, and wrapped his free hand around your ample waist, pulling you closer.

“I’m sorry about your parents. It can’t have been easy for you and Fanboy.” He placed the hand he’d had under your chin on your cheek and wiped away the few tears that escaped.

“It wasn’t. He hides it better than I do, but he was just as broken. It’s why I’m so thankful for Reuben and the rest of you. When I couldn’t be there for him, all of you were…so, thank you, Jake.”

The way he was looking at you made you weak in the knees, and you saw him leaning towards you. Was Jake Seresin about to kiss you? Unfortunately, you wouldn’t find out because as he got closer, one of the kids ran up to the booth and you two jumped apart.

You watched him closely, out of the corner of your eye, the rest of the night. You made sure you were always busy with the kids or whatever else was needed at the booth so that you weren’t available to talk with Jake. You could tell he wanted to say something about what happened, but you really didn’t want to deal with the rejection and the explanation that it was a mistake.

As Jake was explaining the rules to one of the kids, you saw her mother fluffing her hair and adjusting her ‘assets’. She put on the biggest (fakest) smile she could when Jake turned his attention to her. You rolled your eyes as you eyeballed the diamond on her left hand. Did she think that he would just ignore that she was married and fall into her bed? You knew Jake was imperfect, but he would never stoop that low.

You loved him. You knew that now, because you gave up on trying to not fall in love with him months ago. You hoped it wasn’t obvious because you didn’t want to be that chubby girl who was in love with the hot guy and acted like a stalker. Becoming that stereotype was not going to happen.

Over the next month, you did absolutely everything in your power to avoid Jake Seresin. You changed your shifts at work as much as you could so you wouldn’t be there when you knew he had free time and if he came in when you were there, you made sure you were busy or your coworkers would take care of him for you. You didn’t go out to the Hard Deck on the weekends or anytime you knew he’d be there.

The week before Thanksgiving, you were at work when you received a visitor.

“Dewey?” You looked up from your work to see Phoenix in the doorway of your office.

“Hey Phe! Come on in.” She stepped into your office and took a seat across from you. “So, what brings you by?”

“We’ve missed you”, she said. “All of us.” The underlying meaning in her words didn’t skate past your understanding.

“I-I just can’t Phe. I won’t be able to get over him if I’m around him constantly. And I have to get over him because when he eventually finds someone–”

“Dewey, he doesn’t want to find anyone else.”

“Nat, I’m going to explain something to you, okay?” You took a deep breath and continued, “Men as good looking as Jake or Rooster or any of them don’t go for women like me. I know I’m not ugly, I never said that, but I am fat. It’s just a fact. Someone who takes care of himself like Jake is expected to be with a woman who looks like you. Like the high school trope, the quarterback and the cheerleader. I’m just the nerd who helps tutor the quarterback. Who, like an idiot, falls for him and thinks that because he was so nice to me, maybe I should tell him how I feel. When I do, he goes and laughs about it with his cheerleader girlfriend and all the other jocks.

I reached too far Nat. Like I said, I need to get over him because I need to be able to be around him when he finds his cheerleader.”

Phoenix huffed.

“I didn’t know you felt like this.”

“I’ve been dealing with this since I was a kid. I was compared to my cousin and how she looked.”

“Why didn’t you come talk to me?” Phoenix leaned forward and took your hand.

“Phe, you’ve got enough on your plate, enough to deal with”, you reply. “Besides, you’re not my therapist. I didn’t want to burden you with my problems. I’m already enough of a burden to Mickey. I’m his older sister and he thinks he has to take care of me.”

“Can I say something now?” she asked, and you nodded. “You are not a burden. Not to me, not to Jake, and especially not to Fanboy. He’s your brother and he loves you. Before you moved here, he may have smiled and joked around, but it never really meant much. He was just okay. After you let him know you were coming to San Diego, you should’ve seen how happy he was. His smile was huge, and his eyes didn’t look empty. You’ve made all of our lives better.”

By the time she finished, tears fell silently down your cheeks.

“Thank you, Phe. I love you, you know.”

“I love you too, Dewey.” Phoenix came around the desk and pulled you into a tight hug. “Believe it or not, this wasn’t the only reason I came to see you.” You pulled away and wiped your cheeks.

“What can I help you with?”

“Some of us are having a Friendsgiving thing next week. I wanted to know if you and Fanboy wanted to join us.”

“Um…”

“He’s going to Texas to see his family.”

“Okay then.”

Friendsgiving with Rooster, Phoenix, Reuben, and Mickey was one of the happiest times you had. After dinner, Phoenix brought out a small basket with several small pieces of paper.

“What’s this?” You looked over at your brother with a questioning look.

“Last Christmas, we all decided that a Secret Santa with the squad would be fun. Since it was a hit, we’re doing it again.” He took the basket from Phoenix and held it out to you, “It’s your first time, so you get the first draw. No take backsies, unless you get your own name.”

“Got it.” You closed your eyes and shoved your hand in the basket, rooting around for a few seconds before finally grabbing a paper. You unfolded it, shielding the paper from prying eyes. You smiled at the ‘Bob’ written on the paper. You were close enough with Bob and knew the perfect gift for him.

“When do we have to have the gifts ready?” you asked the group.

“Penny’s having a Christmas party at The Hard Deck next month on the 15th”, said Rooster. You felt your stomach drop. You weren’t making any progress in getting over the feelings you had for Jake, and you didn’t think you were ready to see him again.

“Awesome. Can’t wait.” Bob came in for Book Club all the time, so you could slip him his gift then and not have to worry about being at the party. Everyone would be so busy enjoying it, they probably wouldn’t even notice you weren’t there. How wrong you were.

Now.

Sure enough, the day before Penny’s Christmas party, Bob stopped by the library. He loved his gift; you’d gotten him a cookie decorating class that was online and prerecorded so he wouldn’t miss any of the days because of work and emphasized intricate decorating techniques.

He gave you a kiss on the cheek and a big hug in thanks, promising you the first batch of cookies he made with his newfound knowledge. Before leaving, he asked if he’d see you the next day at The Hard Deck. You felt bad about lying but told him no because you had to take care of something important. In reality, you were going to hide out at the library for a few hours and then go home.

So, you did. Your phone started going off only a few minutes after everyone was supposed to be arriving at The Hard Deck. You ignored the texts from Phoenix, Mickey, Bob, and Reuben and were about to shut your phone off when a call from Mickey came through.

“What?”

“Where are you?”

“I’m busy.”

“You’re a bad liar, you know, hermanita.” You rolled your eyes.

“Is there a reason you’re calling Mickey?”

“Everyone is wondering where you are.” You could hear voices and the jukebox going in the background; it sounded like a good time. “And I mean everyone.”

“Mickey…I can’t, okay? I won’t be a novelty or something he bides his time with until he finds someone better, someone prettier. Someone thinner and more appropriate for him.”

“That’s complete bullshit. And Hangman is a lot of things, but that isn’t something he’d ever do. Please believe me. When I met him, I thought he was a complete dick. The only one who didn’t was Coyote, and that’s only because they’ve been friends for years, so he knows how much of a good man Jake is.”

Mickey went on about Jake’s pros and as you were about to cut him off and hang up, you heard another voice.

“Fanboy, who are you talking to?” Jake. He’d seen your brother having a heated discussion while on the phone, and since he hadn’t seen you yet, he put two and two together.

“Don’t you say a word Mickey. Don’t you do it.”

“Um…”

“Fanboy, is it Dewey? Where is she?”

“I’m under orders to not say anything.”

“Bullshit. Tell me. Now. I need to talk to her.”

“No.” You knew your brother and you could hear his resolve weakening in his voice. Suddenly, you heard what sounded like a scuffle on the other end and shouts of Give it back Hangman! before another voice came on the line.

“Dewey? Dewey, please, tell me where you are. I need to talk to you.” You pressed ‘mute’, so he wouldn’t hear you starting to cry. “Please darlin’. Tell me where you are.”

You almost broke at the pleading in his voice. You didn’t understand why he was so determined about seeing you. You were just friends. You took a deep breath and unmuted the call.

“I’m sorry Jake, but I’m not going to do that.”

“Darlin’, pl–”

“Goodnight Jake.” You hung up and put your phone on ‘Do Not Disturb’, so you could listen to music while you did some shifting and didn’t have to worry about phone calls interrupting you.

You were in a Metallica-type of mood, so you chose the correct playlist and put in your earbuds. ‘All Nightmare Long’ transitioned in to ‘Master of Puppets’ (your favorite song), and you shimmied along the aisles, shifting books around so they weren’t so tightly packed together.

Once again, you were so distracted by your task and the music, you didn’t hear someone knocking on the front door of the building or even walking in. He heard you, though. Jake called out for you, but when he didn’t get a response, he went to check your office. Seeing your things still there, he was dead quiet to find out where you were...until he heard you singing.

‘Come crawling faster (faster)

Obey your master (master)

Your life burns faster (faster)

Obey your master

Master!

Master!’

Jake took the stairs two at a time, finding you in the graphic novel section. You had your back to him, and he knew you were going to be mad, but he just had to. Unbeknownst to you, he tiptoed up to you and tapped you on the shoulder.

You let out an almighty shriek and spun around, your feet getting tangled together. Jake launched himself forward and caught you before you could fall and get hurt.

“You okay Dewey?” You smacked him on the chest and pushed him away.

“Jake Seresin! How could you do that to me?!” You pulled your earbuds out and pocketed them. You looked over at Jake and were glad to see he was looking slightly ashamed.

“I’m sorry darlin’.”

“What are you doing here Jake? I wanted to be alone.”

“I needed to see you.”

“Why? What could you possibly have to say to me right now? There’s a party with everyone there and yet you’re here, wasting your time with me.” You crossed your arms and leaned against the shelf.

“First of all, you’re not there, so not everyone is there.” Jake reached behind him and pulled a wrapped, rectangular something he’d tucked into his back pocket. “Secondly, I needed to give you this. I’m your Secret Santa.’

“You could’ve just given it to Mickey to give to me.”

“Dewey, just take it, please.”

“Fine.” You reached over and took the package from Jake’s hands. You were carefully unwrapping the gift when Jake spoke up.

“Why have you been avoiding me?”

“I haven’t b–”

“Don’t lie to me. I may act like an idiot, but I’m not one. Anytime I go to visit you, either you’re not there because you changed your schedule, or you get one of the others to deal with me. When we all get together at the Hard Deck, you never show. Fanboy feeds us whatever lie you tell him, but I know better. I know you, something happened to make you avoid me and the others.”

“Jake…” Before you could continue, you pushed the wrapping paper of the gift to reveal a book. A copy of the ‘Peacock Edition’ of Pride & Prejudice, originally published in 1894, making this a first printing. You carefully opened the book to look through it. No creases, the spine was perfect for a book that was almost 130 years old, and it was beautiful.

“Do you like it?” In your astonishment, you’d forgotten he was standing there.

“Jake, Jake, I-I-I can’t believe you remembered?”

“I did.” You felt tears starting to form and threatened to fall down your cheeks.

“Jake, I c-can’t accept this. It-It’s too much.”

“It’s not too much darlin’. I just hope it makes you feel closer to your mom.” The tears fell in a steady flow now. Jake rushed forward and took your face in your hands. “Please don’t cry baby.”

You shut your eyes and basked in the feeling of his hands on your cheeks.

“Why did you do this Jake? This isn’t something you do for a friend for a Secret Santa gift.” You hear Jake chuckle.

“Open your eyes darlin’.” You took a deep breath and slowly opened your eyes to look into green ones. “You know why, Dewey.”

“I need you to say it. I won’t believe it unless you do.”

“I love you, Miss Garcia.”

“Jake…” You gave him a big watery smile.

“I know you have your reservations because of some weird reason that you think you don’t deserve me just because of the way you look. Baby, that can’t be further from the truth. I love you because of who you are, of what you’ve overcome, of what you’ve done–”

“I’m just a librarian, Jake. I’m not anyone special. But you, you’re a literal hero. I read, you fly planes and save the world…how could I ever measure up?”

“Darlin’, you’re a hero too, to the girls. I can never talk with Isla and Jesse without hearing Miss Garcia this and Miss Garcia that and When can we see Miss Garcia again, Uncle Jake? They were both having trouble with their reading, but after meeting you, they’re the top readers in each of their classes.”

“I–” Before you could say anything else, Jake surged forward and kissed you. You’d only ever been kissed a few times in your life, but this blew the other kisses out of the water, it obliterated them. It reminded you of The Princess Bride, and the thought brought a smile to your face.

When the lack of air finally became an issue, you pulled away and leaned your forehead against Jake’s.

“I love you too, Jake, so much.”

Jake smiled that perfect smile of his and kissed you again. So focused on the kiss, neither of you heard the footsteps up the stairs, and didn’t know Reuben, Mickey, Rooster, Coyote, Phoenix, and Bob were watching the two of you make out until Coyote spoke up.

“Yeah buddy! Get your girl!” You and Jake broke apart in surprise.

“What the hell guys?!”

The gilded age 02x08, In Terms of Winning and Losing, my thoughts...

Please excuse any spelling errors. My brain is sleepy so its not working too well. 😰

I'm still having feelings over last night season 2 finale. We can't say they didn't pack the episode until it nearly burst that's for sure.

I'm going start at the end because it still tickles me that Aunt Ada is now head of the Van Rhijn household. (They went omg free fall everything ending, to oh wait we're fine. One oh the fastest turn around ever). Which will now be known as Fronte household. Thank you, Mr. Bannister for pointing it out. Because truthfully I was clueless as every body else until he asked Aunt Ada if it ok. Than it all clicked... Omg Aunt Ada is now the big cheese! The look on her face was brilliant! In that moment we seen her take her power, completely imbody it. We clearly see her mind calculating on all the changes she's going to make. It one exceptional piece of acting from Cynthia Nixon. She doesn't utter a word during it, it's all in facial expressions and her body movements. It's just as powerful. She's so very talented!

Look on Aunt Agnes face made giggle as she realizes the role in her own house have reversed on her. That her little sister is now in charge. I don't mean in unkind way whatsoever. The relationship and dynamics between these two sisters have been certain ways for most likely all their lives up to this point, but now Aunt Agnes is going to have to listen to Aunt Ada in way is never did before. I personally think it's going to good for the whole household. Aunt Ada is kind and compassionate that will benefit everyone in that household especially Aunt Agnes.

I did love When Aunt Ada ask Marian if finally broke off her engagement with Dashiell, because she know he wasn't right for her. Lol it was too brilliant. I love Aunt Ada so much!!

So yes finally Marian broke off her engagement to Dashiell!! I cheered when that happened!! It's like damn woman took you long enough. But after he called her by his dead wife's name, creepy that was the last straw. No one can blame the man for still being in love with his dead wife. We all know that heart doesn't work that way, just because their no longer here doesn't make our love just stop. It's ultimately more to what Marian said, that their not well matched, they don't want the same things and their not in love with each other. I'm just glad she found her back bone and got out before it was too late.

I'm personally so happy about that kiss bewteen Marian and Larry, I was yelling kiss, kiss, kiss the whole time! I think their well matched in every way. Larry definitely be ok with Marian teaching or anything else she wants to do. Now thanks to Aunt Ada she won't come penniless to the whole thing because we know Aunt Ada won't allow that!! I'll put odds on it! Only issue as we all know may be Bertha. Perhaps not though so much with Larry, she does like Marian. We'll see... I did like the little scene bewteen Marian and Frances. I felt quite a bit of empathy for Frances, she was just a little girl looking for a mom. I'm glad Marian was able to reassure for her that she will still be very much in her life just not as her step-mother.

I'm so happy for Jack that he got his patent approved. It was such a brilliant idea of Peggy's that he go talk to Larry about it. That Larry wants to go into business with Jack on his alarm clock. Love it. It was so amazing what happen then.

Peggy deciding to leave her job at The Globe was probably the only way to deal with her feelings for her boss

I'm sad for her because she was doing something she loved. But he was just too casual about the whole cheating on my wife no doubt done more times then Peggy would of ever found out about. She deserves so much better. This also showed that she as alot of self respect, self worth, and self confidence. To not only not fall for his bs, but to walk away when she clearly had feelings but knew it was a bad situation for her. Women now a days can learn alot from her. I was also nice to see perhaps the rift bewteen Peggy and her father may be softening. That her mother and father are getting back to loving terms with each other.

I was very sad to see Mr. Watson go but to know that he'll be part of his daughter and grand children lives makes it a happy going. I'm glad his daughter let her wishes known and kinda defy he husband by going to talk to her dad.

Now the opera war. I never thought Bertha wouldn't pull it off. There's just something about that woman that scream WIN. I'm not surprised she got the Duke back, because she something or someone Mrs. Astor doesn't that alone I knew would enough to turn the Duke back to her side. That is Gladys of course. Now am I ok that's a good chance that Bertha sold Gladys into marriage with the Duke no I'm not! I love Bertha I truly do. However her own ambition I feel is an issue, it's a blinding thing, it's all consuming, it power over everything. I fear what that will do to her in future. Ambition can be good until it takes complete control of a person. Because the need to win, to be number one, to defeat those against you makes you forget about who truly loves you. I don't want to see that be the path for Bertha. Because at her core I don't believe she's her ambition. If she was she wouldn't of done the nice gesture for Mrs. Bruce by giving her the tickets to opening night of Met. Bertha does show incredible care and kindness to her staff. Which is something I truly love about her. Always the way she is with the people she's made friends with. Unlike Mrs. Astor who treats everyone like they should be kissing her ass. Bertha genuinely nice, kind, sweet and funny. So I want to her ambition hurt the rest of her, hurt her life, completely destroy her relationship with her daughter, her son and her husband. Because her ambition isn't worth losing her family that loves her. Alright enough said on that. To good stuff.

Seeing Mrs. Astor lose was brilliant! She at more than half empty Academy still trying to pretend everything's fine...while a death rattle could heard in the background. I wanted to tell Aunt Agnes and Oscar to get the fuck out of there, go with Mrs. Fish, save yourselves!!

Turner fuming was hilarious and her husband being completely over it just made all the better. I got feelings he just wanted to say to her could just sit down and shut it already damn for some peace and quiet. All day and night it's Mrs. Russell this and Mrs. Russell that. Should never marry you fuck!

I loved both Bertha and Gladys gowns. The colors were beautiful. Especially like how the colors deep green pattern against lighter green of Bertha's made her stand out in her box at Met, couldn't miss her if you wanted too. Marian gown was very cool I really liked ruching by shoulders and neck. But I think my favorite gown belonged to Aurora, blue and white and sparkly it was gorgeous. That's one I would've wanted to wear.

I so did love seeing Bertha get her moment, she was floating on air there. Especially when she walk through the doors of her central box after nearly crying because George got back for her. To the whole of the Metropolitan filled. Although the boxes where bigger then I thought they be. All I could recall was when I watched The Age of Innocent because that begins at the opera, it's very much in a similar time frame as The Gilded Age. But I like the ones at the Met better, they can call over and talk to each other like friends do. It seems less stuffy and more social and fun. One of my favorite moments was when Bertha caught sight of Mrs. Bruce and Mr. Baudin and gives them a little wave, it was so cute and endearing.

Mrs. Bruce was very cute through out being at an opera house for the first time.

I'm so sad it's the final episode of the season. All I know is HBO better renew for 3rd season!! Because it's official my favorite series, I don't want it going anywhere for a long long time!!

you smoke & I’ll have a drink [emily prentiss x reader]

Hey I sneezed. I’m currently in love with Emily Prentiss & It is quite sad the literal choke hold she has on me. But that’s not the point. Anyway, I slammed this together while sT0n3d as shit, per usual how I spend my nights & this is how i imagine being in a relationship with Emily where she is okay with her girlfriend smoking & loves it because it makes her girlfriend more honest & fun to play with.

I don’t post what I write usually so I don’t know how to do warnings but if you’re not a fan of drinking or smoking w33d then this is kind of full of it. fingering, praise talk i think is in here, probably self esteem issues i wouldn’t put it past me. I don’t know I’m sorry i tried. Just be warned I guess. But if I missed any please let me know. also yes the grammar is probably piss poor & i think it is written in 2nd person or something i’m so sorry in advance.

Okay lastly, some background i wrote this imagining season 16 prentiss with season 12 Prentiss job if that makes a lick of sense. My brain has created this beautiful mix of silver fox prentiss as bau leader. So that’s what I did & that’s what this is.

Everything was working out perfectly. It was Friday night, the new case they had picked up earlier in the week was finished and the suspect was in custody, and to celebrate it was girl’s night. You had heard all about it from Emily on her drive home, making your heart sing hearing the happy and relaxed tone in her voice. it was also warming to know she had managed to find some time to go out with her BAU girls especially after such a case from the little details you got from the news coverage & Emily.

“i want you to come with us. i also know what you need to do to feel comfortable in a setting like that, if you want to smoke first i can pick you up in 30 minutes if that works for you.”

the line was silent for a minute while you tried to collect your already high as a kite thoughts. “i- i don’t understand what you mean. i would never do something like that… like smoking.” it was so forced and such a lie anyone could have caught it. you had a suspicion that was one of her favorite things about you, the fact that you were such a bad liar. she must find entertainment in you always scrambling to find a good lie to bark out at her.

“absolutely baby, not a little stoner at all. i will see you in 30 then.” you could picture the smile on her face and your stomach flipped just thinking about it. you hung up the phone and ran into your bathroom to get in the shower.

you had no idea what it was that kept her so interested in you. she was the head of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, studying and catching some of the worst serial killers ever. smarter than anyone you have ever met, but you’ve heard rumors about Dr. Spencer Reid. you had a good job & made enough money where you were able to afford an apartment comfortably by yourself, but exactly as she said, you were a smoker. you only smoked at night mostly to go to sleep & relax and when you went out you chose to be high rather than drink. after your shower you dried off, did your hair and makeup, before throwing on a big tshirt to wait until Emily was close to picking you up. you had fifteen minutes left before she would be at your door. turning on something on your tv you smoked until you got the text from emily that she was on her way. you ran back into your room and picked out your favorite dress that was short at the perfect length and showed off your chest quite nicely.

in perfect synchronization with putting your lipstick away in your bag for the night, the doorbell rang. you took a last look in the mirror you had by the door and opened it to reveal a smiling emily. she was still in her work suit but it complimented her so well and she knew you loved it when she wore them. lately, emily had been letting her hair grow out and the beautiful gray show more which was making you weaker in the knees each time you saw her and sending you through the roof. it took you too long to realize you were admiring her until you looked up at her and saw the look on her face. “h-hello.” you finally squeaked out.

“hi little bird, you look very pretty.” she smiled scanning your figure, her eyes following your curves leaving a small smirk on her face. “are you ready to go?”

“yes,” you smiled and put your bag on your shoulder and took your jacket off the hook. you closed & locked the door behind you then followed emily down to her car. the rest of the night was filled with high energy & great drinks. you had met penelope & jj before at a night out with the team but never this intimate. you relaxed through the night as they asked questions to get to know you better and you all made jokes about some of the guys that tried to come up to the table.

after a few hours you all said goodbye and you were soon back in emily’s car heading back to your apartment. “i’m glad you came out with us,” she smiled and placed her hand on your thigh. “did you have a good time?”

feeling her hand on your thigh your back was now flush against the car seat. “i had a lot of fun. it was nice to meet JJ & Penelope outside of the group, they are so nice.” you quickly glance down at Emily’s hand that seemed to be a little further up on your thigh than before, but you both knew you weren’t complaining. the drive back to your apartment was a comfortable silence until emily parked and turned to you and smiled.

“thank you for a wonderful night. would you like to come up for another drink before you go?” you you look up and can’t help but smile when she turns the car off and grabs her bag from the back seat.

“i would love to.” she smiled and kissed your cheek before getting out of the car. as you walked up to the door you got your keys out and led her inside. you were happy to see your apartment was clean enough for a guest. you walked to the little bar in the corner of your kitchen and made emily a quick rum & coke which had been her drink of choice for the night. “thank you baby,” she smiled and took a sip. “will you be smoking i assume?” emily smiled and walked through the apartment looking out the back slider to the deck, smiling at the rolling tray on the table.

“oh, uhm if you don’t mind sure. we can sit outside, it’s my favorite spot in the whole apartment.” you smiled and walked out with her. you had spent so much time making a small corner of the patio to be a perfect smoking corner. you sat in your usual spot while Emily sat right next to you and sipped her drink, answering some messages on her phone. you got to work making a little joint, picking out the perfect nug, fitting it into the grinder just right, and you definitely enjoyed hearing the sound of the weed being grinded, knowing that a beautiful pile would be waiting for you in the middle chamber. After you were done, you pulled out what you needed to roll. you pulled out her new favorite lighter -of-the-week and lit the joint.

Everyone knows the best hit is the first, and this one did not disappoint. you felt all of the muscles in your body (except your lungs) completely relax and tensions were all gone. Instinctively you pulled out your phone and opened your favorite app and began scrolling while continuing to smoke. It was amazing to you that Emily didn’t always need you to entertain her. you two were completely comfortable just being with each other, whether you were talking or playing around, or just being in the same room together without saying a word. This was the perfect time to just sit and enjoy each other’s company while Emily sipped her drink and you smoked your perfectly rolled little joint.

After some time had passed, you put the remains in your ashtray and sat back in your seat. “That felt amazing.” you giggled as you felt the slow buzz go through your body. “This is my favorite flower I’ve gotten so far.”

“i hope you will be able to get it again,” Emily said in a soft voice while picking up her hand and bringing it to her lips to kiss the back. “Why don’t you come over to the couch with me,” she smiled. “I feel like it has been forever since we actually sat together.” she stood up and gently pulled you up with her before getting as comfortable as she could on the outside bench. Luckily it was padded, but it didn’t add much. It also didn’t help that she pulled you down onto her lap. she wrapped one hand around your waist and the other on your legs keeping you close to her. “Now this is more comfortable.” she chuckled.

“Think so? I’m definitely comfy.” you smiled and nuzzled into her chest. you stayed still while she held you, leaning her cheek against the top of your head and rocking you both very gently which soothes you a little too well.

Emily pulled back and smiled at you. “I think you deserve another. You’ve been so supportive this week,” her voice was soft and low, sending chills through your whole body. Emily definitely noticed as she put her hand on your cheek and you nearly melted against her. “If anything, baby, do it for me.”

Carefully, you got down off her lap and set yourself up between her legs facing the table. Surprisingly, it was more comfortable than you thought. you started the same process again, but was distracted when you felt Emily’s lips against your neck. The jar that held your flower was put back down on the table and you leaned back against Emily’s chest.

“Bird what happened? Can you not concentrate?” she leaned you up and pulled the table closer. “Maybe you can’t reach, maybe this will help. ”

you picked everything up again, starting where you left off. It wasn’t long into your process until Emily started again. A slow trail of kisses on all sides of your neck, this time accompanied by some traveling hands. All on your sides, trailing down to your thighs and back up again to your chest (which you were grateful for the fact you chose against any kind of bra.) you playfully pushed her off so you could stand up to reach the roller on the other side of the table.

When you did, your panties were pulled to the floor, leaving you completely exposed under the skirt of your dress. you turned around to Emily laughing. “Really? Are we children?” you reached down to pull your panties back up but was stopped when Emily grabbed your waist.

“I thought you would be more comfortable this way.” she smirked and pulled you back down onto the couch with her. Emily’s lips were back on your neck and her hands lying comfortably on your thighs. “Anyway, continue.” she hummed. Emily slowly trailed her hand up your body from your thigh and up to your chest and softly began to massage your breast, while placing light kisses along your shoulder and back up again. Her other land lightly glided up your thigh, getting closer to where you wanted her to be.

Emily’s hand on your chest slowly got more aggressive, grabbing more man massaging and mixing between teasing and pinching your nipple that was now between her fingers easily slipped under the top of your dress. The hand that was on your thigh was now drawing light circles against your clit, slowly leaving you a shaking mess against her.

“Oh fuck Emily, I’m so close.” you finally whined out. Her lips were on all of your sweet spots along your neck and shoulder, her hand on your breast twisting and pulling at your nipple, and her fingers moving in a faster circle while your climax was rushing over.

“Cum for me baby.” she hummed and kept her pace helping you through your climax. “Good job baby, you did so good.” she hummed and held you when collapsed back against her, breathing heavily trying to collect yourself. “I think you deserve that second joint now.” emily laughed lightly and kissed your cheek.

You laughed and sat back up again finishing what you started. You set everything up and looked around the table for your book of papers, only to realize they were on the other side of the table. “Shit,” you mumbled. “My papers are on the other side of the table.”

“So then get them.” Emily smirked looking up from the message she was answering on her phone.

You gave Emily a suspicious look but decided to trust her. You hesitated another second before standing up and reaching over the table for the papers. When they were in your hand, just as you predicted, you felt two of her fingers slide inside you. “Oh fuck!” you screamed but quickly bit your lip once you were reminded you were outside.

Emily laughed with a teasing tone and slipped his fingers out before pulling you back down on the couch. “Oh birdie, so wet for me already. Are you finished rolling yet?”

“I just have to add uhm, the paper. So one more step.`` As you explained, you completed each step and were finally greeted by a beautifully rolled joint. You picked it up and held it in front of your face. “Perfection.”

Emily handed you a lighter which you happily took and lit the joint in your fingers. You enjoyed the first few hits before Emily took your body and turned you towards her to kiss her. Emily’s hands traveled again and her tongue started exploring your lips, teasing against you. She broke the kiss turning to face you forward before scooping you up and sitting you on the couch while she got comfortable next to you. Emily placed her hand on your cheek slowly down your body until it was between your legs again and sliding her fingers over your entrance knowing it was teasing you more than ever now. “Don’t forget about your joint.”

“Please?” you whined and leaned your head back taking a hit and blowing it out. “Please.”

Emily slipped two fingers in and waited for you to adjust and get comfortable. Instinctively, you started grinding against her hand, causing emily to smirk. “Oh fuck Emily.” you moaned.

She wrapped her other arm around you and slipped the strap of your dress down, exposing your breast, giving her more room to go back to playing with your nipple as she did before. “Look at you baby, you look so perfect for me, grinding against my hand, you’re so wet for me too. Are you enjoying yourself bird?”

Hearing all of her words of praise, and nursing the joint you made sent sparks through you helping you keep a steady pace of your hips. You bit your lip harder as your climax built, holding on to the arm and back of the couch for support. “It feels so good Emily. I’m gonna cum again, I’m so close.”

Emily chuckled playfully and leaned down to take your nipple between her teeth, giving a soft bite and softly kissing as an apology. “Cum for me birdie, now.” she barked and leaned back, enjoying the moment. On command, another and stronger wave washed over your body and after what felt like an eternity, you finally collapsed next to Emily, who brought you into her side, but careful of the blunt that was almost finished. On the last hit you took before you exhaled, emily softly put her hand on your neck giving it a small squeeze as you exhaled before she kissed you again.

A little surprised by her actions you ended up with a little bit of a coughing fit but got it under control quickly. “Wh-what was that? I’m not complaining, I’m just asking.” she took the finished joint from your fingers and put it out in the ashtray before sitting back on the couch with you.

“Oh baby, I’m full of surprises. You’ll just have to wait and see.” Emily smiled as she curled you up in her arms close to her chest and lightly rubbed your shoulders and back. “I love you.” she whispered.

Do you have any crossover ships with Gonta? Like characters from dr1/dr2 I mean

Not necessarily Romantically but I do have a lot of crossover interactions that I really like with Gonta!!

Gonta & Byakuya: I've long had the headcanon(?)/AU idea of Byakuya knowing Gonta since he was very young because both of their families are powerful and influential. In a universe where the v3 cast and the dr1/dr2 cast exist together, I hced that Byakuya was tasked with babysitting a pre-raised-by-wolves Gonta at least once. Ive had this idea for a fic about Gonta's disappearance from his perspective for a while, but since Im not as into dr1 I don't think I could execute Byakuya's characterization super well.

Gonta & Taka: I think these two would get along SUPER well. I feel like Gonta would be able to be fast friends with anyone who is very passionate and loud. Gonta would really admire Taka's mastery of etiquette and academics, and while I'm unsure of if Taka would have the best words to tackle Gonta's self-esteem issues directly, I think he would genuinely admire Gonta's persistence at wanting to be a gentleman and how hard he works. Not to mention, both face a lot of pressure from their families legacies. These two would be great together.

Gonta & Sakura: Sakura would LOVE to train with Gonta, and I feel like her gentle but firm encouragement would be so valuable to him. In non-despair aus with all three casts, I always imagine these two as friends.

Gonta & Mondo: Insert screenshot from UTDP of Mondo saying to Gonta "you're like a really big... puppy dog." I feel like Mondo would at first feel the need to like. Try to prove to Gonta that he's tougher than him, just because of how big Gonta is. But would quickly realize Gonta's not like that at all and is a sweetheart. And would become quickly endeared to him. (there might be really cute ship potential here. I like the idea of Mondo getting a little bit of a crush on him)

Gonta & Chihiro: Gonta would be SO HAPPY to help Chihiro with feeling like she isn't strong enough. Maybe not in the best way, because I think he would rush to try and protect her from everything which isn't Exactly what she wants, but I think after she expresses this Gonta would switch to trying to help her in other ways instead. Chihiro would be really nice to him and I think they could be friends.

Gonta & Gundham: I THINK THESE TWO WOULD BE BEST FRIENDS IF THEY EXISTED IN THE SAME UNIVERSE. MY GOD. There's a reason I have a tag for them [#bugs & beasts]. Their interests are very similar, of course, but it goes beyond that. Gundham understands very well what its like to struggle socially, and probably would be able to see a lot of himself in Gonta. I also think that while Gonta might struggle at first to keep up with the... flamboyant way Gundham speaks 1. I like the idea that at first his hamsters translate for him and 2. I think he would eventually figure it out. Gonta regularly yes-ands the more weird personas of the other characters (ex, himiko's magic) and I think his respect for the way Gundham sees himself would be a breath of fresh air for him. Both are lonely and desperate for acceptance by the group (Gonta more actively, Gundham more sadly accepting his place on the outside), if they were in the same story nothing could have stopped them.

Gonta & Sonia: Sonia would be absolutely delighted by Gonta's backstory, being raised by wolves, and I bet she would love to teach him etiquette and how to act royally. Gonta would be absolutely obsessed with her. I mean, she's a princess! I think to Gonta, a prince would be almost the pinnacle of gentlemanliness. He would want to treat her with so much respect, maybe to the point of stressing himself out hgdjskfs

Gonta & Nagito: These two... would have a weird relationship. I'm always saying how Gonta needs a hypeman badly and I think Komaeda would be that in the weirdest, most unhealthy way possible. Nagito would be obsessed with Gonta as an ultimate (as he is with any ultimates) and would discourage his self loathing by trying to reassure him by his weird view of talent and what being an ultimate means. Gonta, unfamiliar with his ideology, would probably half heartedly take the compliment while also concerned about how much Nagito puts himself down. I don't think Nagito should be left alone around him LMAO

#pluto answers #Gonta and Hiyoko are the opposite of this list. They would not like each other I think #Hiyoko ''squishing mr ants'' saionji I hope you can run in your kimono cause Gonta is gonna get you to stop no matter the cost /j #Thanks for the ask!! :D #gonta gokuhara #drv3

Issue Thirteen: Moonlight

Who gave Sky alcohol??

The kiss was real in this version!

This is so weird and fucked up and I hate it

This is the worst thing the comics have done

...

I take it back

THIS is the worst thing the comics has done

Hey wait a fucking second–

Tecna being boy crazy is SO weird

But they are so cute

Would magic count as girlie business because most magic users are women??? That's really interesting about how magic would be viewed

Feminine things included: giant magic beams

Aside from that later in the comic Riven's feelings are brought to the forefront of his mind by the moonlight, so it's implied the reason he is unhappy to be going on this mission is because he dislikes the effect that the moonlight will have on him

Flora no, stop, please

Like yes, men do have harder times expressing themselves on mass, but that isn't a reason to just excuse his actions

Musa tell him to fuck off if he's being annoying

Tecna is reading a comic about herself

This guy knows going to the mountains during a full moon is dangerous, but instead of warning anyone he runs away

Amazing kindness from the locals

I love how Sky catches on to the fact this guy knows something he isn't telling everyone

The lettering got fucked up but look at how proud he is of his fire

"And the fire started too! We are going to be warm and comfy!" Is what it says

Btw what they are doing here is a bad idea

1) thermo cracks, this could make the cave fall on them

2) the cave has a limited amount of air, they could suffocate

3) the cave is an enclosed space with no chimney, they could suffocate smoke edition

Don't make fires in caves kids

There is obviously a safe way, but it requires a big ass cave, and this is not cutting it. A small fire wouldn't be the best idea in this tiny cave, nonetheless that big ass one

Riven is so serious around Musa nfnsnd and later in this comic it's practically confirmed that Riven has feelings for Musa at this point

It is also confirmed that Riven can't communicate to save his life and he and Musa easily misinterpret each other

It is my opinion, as some guy on the internet, that Musa saying that she liked the fire made Riven go "ahaha!! I know how I can make her happy!! Keep the fire going!!"

That or he didn't want to accidentally make her upset again because he's bad at expressing himself and, again, Musa misinterpreting him. So he took his introverted self outside before he made an ass of himself

Both interpretations feel viable

Tecna being the less ridged of them is so fucking weird

HEY THAT DONT LOOK RIGHT

Cooking moonlight, fnjsjfjskd, amazing

Also moon fairy cooking moonlight

Riven wants to tell Musa how he feels sooo bad but he can't

Riven attachment issues and socialization into repressing his emotions SO real

Not even magic can make him do it

Imagine the cute girl you saved literally brings in berserk juice into your house

She is trying to save him!! So sweet

I hope he becomes a recurring character

Wanna see how you cure werewolf

five steps — part 1 — denial, karaoke with taehyun (hueningkai x fem!reader, additional platonic!ot4 x fem!reader)

INTRO RIGHT HERE | NEXT

wc: 2.4k words

summary: hueningkai’s idea had intrigued everyone. and that was how you ended up, this monday, going to a karaoke bar with taehyun.

genre: hurt/comfort, angst, some fluff, smut in the last part of the fic, MINORS DNI!!

content warning: the reader uses she/her pronouns, has attachment issues and very low self esteem, gets delusional. intrusive thoughts, swearing

a/n: opening sequence as a song is used, but txt aren’t idols in this story!! also whether you can sing or not doesn’t really matter, hyuka is just so in love with everything that you do :’) i really hope you enjoy ><

big big thank you to both @1004tyun and @shampgyu for always being there for me and checking all my snippets and encouraging me 🥹🩷 i love you both so much!!

taglist: @mazeinthemoon (if you want to be added you can ask me through my inbox or messages 🥹)

Beep. Beep. Beep.

A groan escaped your lips, you did not want to wake up. The first thing your gut told you to do was lazily raise your arm and tap on whatever was letting out the beeping sound of your alarm.

One tap, two taps… The third tap was when you finally heard silence again and let a sigh out of relief.

I can see you in my memories, dance with me, dance with me, dance with me.

Your eyes abruptly opened widely.

“Who on earth is calling me at this time?!” you grumbled, trying your hardest to get ahold of your cell phone before your ringtone would stop playing.

A big yawn left your mouth as you narrowed your eyes, checking the time displayed on your phone’s screen.

10:30 AM.

You immediately saw — and should’ve guessed by the ringtone — that Taehyun was the one calling you.

“Hi?” you picked up.

“Hi, Y/N! You’re free today right?” His question was a little unexpected.

You had taken the week off, you were supposed to go on a short vacation with your boyfriend.

Seems like you can just go fuck yourself right? Haha. So funny! He left! Woohoo!

“Y/N?” Taehyun’s voice startled you a little.

It was complicated to stay completely there with your friend, because you kept being bombarded with intrusive thoughts of you and your boyfriend.

Nevertheless, you tried your hardest to be responsive with Taehyun.

“Sorry uhm. Yes, you’re right, I’m free the entire week!”

Then, Taehyun cheered a bit, making your jaw tense.

It wasn’t really in character for him to be so enthusiastic about potentially spending time with you.

Kai being excited to hang out with you? A likely scenario.

Taehyun on the other hand, was closer to Kai than he was to you. At least, that was the impression you had of him.

“Why are you asking me that though?” you heard the boy hum a bit.

“Do you like singing?” he didn’t answer your question, which confused you even more.

“If screaming my favorite songs and hoping for the best is considered singing then yes I guess you could say that.” you weren’t sure what it was about that boy making your sarcasm levels rise, but you were pretty happy with that answer.

He seemed to have appreciated it as well, since you could hear him giggle.

“Y/N! How about we go to a karaoke bar today? Hm?” Your eyes widened in shock.

Why did that sound so exciting?

“I’d love to…” you replied softly, feeling your cheeks hurt because you were starting to smile so wide.

“Excellent! I’ll come pick you up at 4PM okay? Make sure to be on your best day, we are gonna have so much fun!” You had never heard Taehyun be so excited before, but the emotions he was conveying through his voice were so contagious.

I’m really excited. I’m not going to be alone.

Once again, you smiled and got off the bed right away, thinking about the kind of outfit you should wear for the day.

You had to start off this new Monday, the first day of the week, with your breakfast, a staple — a bowl of your favorite cereal…

While you were munching on those sweet foods, images flashed through your mind, completely out of your control.

Your boyfriend and you. You were wearing the prettiest skirt, you could envision it — it was actually your favorite one to wear when you were hanging out with him.

The two of you were holding hands, smiling at each other.

‘My butterfly…’ as he loved to call you… ‘I will love you till eternity… you’re the reason I am happy in this life…’ his words always seemed surreal yet brought you so much comfort.

Maybe it wasn’t over just yet?

Right?

Maybe this was all just a misunderstanding…

I can see you in my memories, dance with me, dance with me, dance with me.

Your ringtone snapped you out of your reverie.

“Taehyun?” you picked up again, wondering why the boy was calling you back so soon.

“Hey Y/N, how are you?” His question surprised you.

You were wondering if, according to Taehyun, you did sound fine, when you two first called.

“I’m good, and you? Is there something wrong?”

Please don’t cancel, please don’t cancel, please don’t cancel.

I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to be alone.

You couldn’t hide it from yourself that you were worried that Taehyun would be canceling your plans for today.

“I wanted to pick you up earlier if that’s okay with you? I’m already done with my workout routine…” You cooed in awe, knowing how dedicated that man was to working out.

And his offer to pick you up earlier than planned made you even happier.

“I’d love it! Thank you so much…” You were overjoyed, and Taehyun sounded as if he felt the same.

You hung up, smiling brighter than ever at the idea of the day ahead of you.

“Here we are! How does it look?” your eyes would be filled with hearts if you were in an anime, from how fun it looked to be there.

Taehyun reserved a spot for the two of you. It had a couch, a little table with a menu, a remote and a TV screen, connected to a microphone.

You sat down on the couch, gazing over the menu quickly.

“Oooh nice, they have desserts too, not just drinks!” you exclaimed, showing the menu to Taehyun who awed, being more interested in the microphone and how it worked.

In the end, Taehyun got himself some whiskey, being a heavyweight, while you ordered a cookie and a cocktail, not wanting yourself to get drunk.

“Okay, I got this down. Do you wanna start?” You felt heat spread across your cheeks as he handed the microphone over to you.

You nodded with a little gulp.

“What song are you going to sing?” the boy asked you and the answer was so obvious that you just looked back at him.

“Opening Sequence. That’s my favorite song.” His eyes widened.

The melody of the piano started, and you felt a slight tug at your chest from anxiety.

Taehyun had never heard you sing. What if he didn’t like it? Plus, that was the song he had recommended to you so long ago.

Lyrics started to escape your mouth naturally since you knew the song by heart.

Images began flowing back into your mind.

‘Pumpkin? My sweetheart… aren’t you the best thing that has happened to me in my life?’ your boyfriend’s words echoed through your brain.

You could see him, petting your hair as you two shared a milkshake at a cafe together.

“I can see you in my memories, dance with me, dance with me, dance with me.” you kept on singing, tears welling up in your eyes.

The emotions you felt as you were singing, ever so softly, because your strength had gone when he left too, were so painful.

It felt as if someone had taken away your happiness. It felt as if your heart had been ripped out of your chest.

Flashbacks felt so real.

Your boyfriend and you, kissing, only when you waited for the streets to be less crowded.

The mic left your hands without you even noticing, and it was only when a different — this time masculine — voice was singing your favorite song, that you almost woke up from the daydream you were having.

“Stay for me, stay for me, stay for me, I can’t get used to it, used to it, used to it.” You faced Taehyun who sang so emotionally.

He had never allowed you to hear him sing. Or maybe you had never taken the time to listen to him, to go out with him… your boyfriend always being your number one priority.

“This song is great, hm?” Taehyun looked over to you when he was done.

You blinked, still immersed into the world of Taehyun’s voice.

“You never let me listen to you sing…” you blurted out, finishing your sentence in a pout.

Taehyun was taken aback, starting to scratch the nape of his neck.

“Y/N… I just never got the opportunity to show you…” what he said made your heart pinch.

What could he possibly mean?

“But… I would’ve loved hearing you sing… you sing so well…” you reaffirmed your position with a fragile smile.

Taehyun winced, thinking it was time to get what he felt off his chest.

“Thank you so much Y/N… Unfortunately, I felt like… I didn’t really get time to hang out with you ever since you dated your guy… Hueningkai himself didn’t get that many chances to see you for a while…” His words felt like daggers, ever so sharp, specifically when you heard him say your best friend’s name.

Taehyun wasn’t someone who minced his words, and even then, you knew he was trying to hold himself back from being completely blunt.

“I’m sorry…” you looked down, feeling ashamed.

However, the boy tapped your shoulder to get your attention again.

You lifted your head up, although you were teary eyed.

“Y/N, it’s okay. Let’s just not think about it. I’m glad we are having some bonding time right now.” Taehyun asserted, making you smile…

Thoughts regarding your boyfriend were still disturbing you very much. However, Taehyun being there with you, singing his heart out, made you feel less lonely.

It was as though you could finally be distracted from all the pain, thanks to him.

You still felt guilty for not having paid enough attention to him — to any of your friends even — and understand better why he never felt that close to you. You had never managed to give him the time he needed to become a good friend of yours.

Hopefully, today was the beginning of a great long lasting friendship between the two of you.

“Come on Y/N! It’s your turn!” Taehyun called out for you.

“Okay let me choose another one!” you exclaimed back to him.

Both of you chose a variety of songs to sing for the whole afternoon, till the night settled.

Although it seemed to be starting on a sad note, Taehyun and you sang many other songs and had so much fun.

The boy had driven you back home and when you reached the door of your apartment, you looked at Taehyun with a grateful smile on your face.

“Thank you so much for today, Taehyun…” you said, quietly.

Something you didn’t expect from the said boy was that he suddenly got close – so close.

Then you felt a pair of soft lips caress your forehead for a few seconds.

An explosion of emotions burst inside of your whole body.

What was that? And why am I feeling so… good?

Your eyes darted towards Taehyun, who was smiling.

“Y/N… thank you…” he replied, making your heart jump.

You suddenly started asking yourself things you never thought you would ever, while looking at him, eyes shaky as ever from shock.

Is he the one? Maybe Taehyun’s been my one and only all along and I just refused to see it…

Questions were spiraling all over your head.

You bade each other goodbye, in your case not less perturbed by the scene.

Maybe we are going to date? Maybe we are going to marry? Oh gosh… maybe even have children!

Your cheeks were on flames, having you struggle with even unlocking the door of your apartment.

Happiness was filling your entire being as mental images started showing up into your brain.

Taehyun and you, at the altar; you were looking at each other so lovingly. He swore to you that he would never leave you, that you two would be the happiest couple there was in the universe.

You were ecstatic, euphoric.

A buzzing sound coming from your phone interrupted your train of erratic thoughts. You shook your head, feeling as if you were going crazy for even having – and enjoying – such scenarios.

“Y/N! I tried calling you, how are you?” when you got ahold of your phone again you saw a message from Kai.

A smile crept upon your face immediately.

“I’m good, and you? You would never guess this! Taehyun and I went to karaoke today! I’m sorry I wasn’t on my phone till now so I didn’t see your call nor your messages…” you replied, being granted an instant response from the boy.

“So nice! He must’ve been blessed with your voice haha.”

Kai’s message made you feel warmth in your chest that you couldn’t describe.

It’s like… he always focuses on the positive things happening to me… I don’t deserve him…

On top of that, Taehyun had not really told you anything about your singing. You knew he sang as a hobby, and he sang well for sure, but he never told you whether you did too.

“Stop haha! You’re the only one who thinks that, Taehyun didn’t care.”

Nonetheless, his message stayed deep in your mind. Part of you had suddenly wanted for Taehyun to also like your voice and say it to your face.

“It’s okay! I do.”

Two emotions of yours followed. A heat wave through your entire body, then a sudden ping of intense fear reached for your heart, which was beating so fast.

However, unlike the feeling you had experienced with Taehyun when he kissed your forehead, Kai’s message had left you with uncontrollable anxiety.

What is happening to me? Am I going completely insane?

Out of nowhere, the image of Kai and you holding hands flashed through your mind. Instead of feeling happy, you were terrified.

Moreover, Kai’s hold on your hand gradually loosened up, to the point where you weren’t linked anymore.

That night, you went to sleep in complete denial, not wanting to witness the image of Kai leaving you. Taehyun made his way into your head so easily that you decided to completely surrender to what your brain was suggesting you to think about.

Taehyun…

ooh youd never watched mh before? like not the og series either? i also really like the new show!

Never! Think might have heard about the toys once, a few years back? A bit isolated out here heheh, and the internet speed is... well

BUT YEAH THE NEW SHOW! Gen 3? THAT ONE!!!!

okay so far i've only seen what's free on youtube and The Monstering and that's enough to tell me something Very Important about this show. Well. A few Very Important Things

1.) HALLOWEEN SCHOOL THATS SPOOKY YES YES YES

when was a kid (one million years ago) i was Obsessed with the idea of Halloween Town and loved imagining all these stories about my version of it

(accessed via a well, for some reason)

imagined being a pumpkin headed scarecrow (legit my first self insert OC, before I know those terms) and hanging out with MY ghoul friends (werewolf, vampire, skeleton, ghost, the usual)

drew fanart for it and daydreamed about it all year long...

my neighbor, the kid i played most with bc neither of us had anyone else, liked playing animal uprising in barbie town and wasn't so keen on the spooks, so my desire for a funky creepy friend group VESTERED. like worms. or maybe maggots

AND NOw

MONTER HIGH?????

There've been other shows or movies that TRY to do this, but they either go too dark for me, or the spook stuff is so surface level it's like halloween decorations

MONSTER HIGH IS JUST- PERFECT

soft core body horror via Frankie! Oh hey Cleo has bugs crawling under her wrappings! The teens are eating EYES and BRAINS and sloppy joes made from TOES?

COMMITED TO THE SPOOK

The students are ACTUAL spooks! Draculaura can turn into a bat! She's got NO reflection! Frankie keeps falling apart- Literally! Ghost students!

Creative use of the spook! Here's an eyeball to record your class project on!

it's VIBES

the vibes are EVERYWHERE

I LOVE BAD PUNS AND THIS IS FULL OF THEM EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME

2.) This show feels safe. Comfortable. Cozy.

Meet Frankie. They use they/them pronouns

THAT JUST HAPPENS SO CASUALLY IT JUST HAPPENS SO EASILY AND WE ALL MOVE ON LIKE ITS NORMAL TO SEE THAT IN A SHOW

Clawdeeeeeen and the school...

the students go from AHH A HUMAN!! to sneaking around trying to eves drop on Clawdeen and the headmistress and now they don't look scared they look curious, they're interested in this human talking about her love of monster stories and how she doesn't fit in with humans and just wants to stay here with them- it's sweet. It's so sweet.

Even before she turn out to be part werewolf, the feeling is, the students like her. They'd be happy to have her stay. There's a connection here even WITHOUT being a monster

like Draculaura and Frankie and Duce want to help Clawdeen figure out what kind of monster she might be SO SHE CAN STAY. the framing is, turning out to be a monster would be the EXCUSE for her to be here, with friends. The ones she already has, now

my heart

dont touch me

I NEED A SOFT SHOW LIKE THIS. I NEED, JUST, HEY WE CAN BE KIND ON A GENERAL BASIS. THE WORLD CAN BE LIKE THIS

3.) the... the expectations of what a body should look like.... break them and be joyful

Clawdeen the werewolf girl is worried for a sec that she doesn't have ENOUGH armpit hair

for fun we get to see it growing THROUGH her SHIRT!

also i dont know why but it feels like this is one of the first times i've seen weregirls with leg and arm hair that has actual, noticeable, fur tufts. not just smooth with a fur coloring. this has Texture. these girls are HAIRY

and again it's just another thing, it's normal at monster high

hey i love it

Iris is on the fear squad

IRIS IS ON THE FEAR SQUAD

the monster who is fat and has one giant eyeball is on monster high's version of the cheerleading squad!

LAGOONA HAS ACTUAL NEEDLE SHAP TEETH

ALLLLLLLL. OF. FRANKIE.

metal leg? Clear and obvious scar stiches all over their body? yep! zero self image issues this monster is just out there grooving!

hey this merdude has a tail with no legs he uses a wheelchair no biggie

look

i have EXTREME dysphoria and no money to do anything about it

i want to go to monster high, too

it looks safe

last and most important of all....

4.) WRITING ! HEY! THE WRITING IS SHARP AND THE EDITING IS CRUNCHY

character voices. CHARACTER VOICES.

THEY HAVE THEM

a lowbar, you might think, and yet i've spent good money on media written for adults that DOES NOT HAVE THIS

i've watched maybe, four five eps? and already i can HEAAR the characters in my head! i can feel the TONE of the show! i can imagine my own little adventures for them bc it's easy to feel what they'd say or do!

I LOVE CHARACTER VOICES

you know what i hate? things that arn't set up! things that are forgotten!

eleven minutes and so far not ONCE has something happened that wasn't set up before hand

Oh everyone's out of the camera ghoul yay- wait. I don't see cleo in the pile. did they forget to animate her?

NOPE

She's still in the camera monster's pocket dimension!

SHE REFUSES TO LEAVE UNTIL IT FINALLY TAKES A GOOD PHOTO OF HER FOR THE FEAR BOOK!

as set up by her having trouble even buying coffee bc her id doesn't look like her, as set up by her new photo also getting ruined accidentally by Frankie, as set up by her getting caught by the monster when she came back to demand another photo!

the way the three bell chime "ding, ding, DOOOM" are used when Clawdeen is exchanging thumbs up with the wolf pack only to cut on the DOOOM to her going into the woods for the pack meeting against her instincts

nervous ding nervous ding BIG DOOOOOM OF THIS IS A BAD IDEA

brain candy

that's brain candy for me

i feel like a zombie media student

"gOoOoOd eDiTtInG....!" i moan, shambling towards the next episode with arms out stretched

there's so much of this tbh its always there

ok i have to stop this rant this is getting ridiculous

QUICK OTHER MENTIONS OF AWESOME

---- VOice acting! I'm sensitive to stiff acting and these ppl are haivng FUN i can FEEEEEEL it. Cleo and Spectra stand out for me. And Lagoona especially. i love Lagoona

---- DESIGN AND COLORS aye it's pretty! my eyes are having fun!

---- MUSIC AND SOUND DESIGN they are on point and make everything ten times better

----- WORLD BUILDING i don't need to explore it but it feels like there's a world and a history of monsters out there and that sells the whole school

----- THE FEELS so far Draculaura in the Food Fight ep hits the hardest. Girl giving a presentation against witch craft, while secretly practicing witch craft, to convince herself it's bad... needing confidence to cast spells correctly, only she loses hers... all of the wanting to be a witch, it makes her feel like her, and then- the realization that that MAKES her a witch. She already IS one. She wants to tell her dad but, just, can't. And her friends support her.... oh, that hit good

And also, of course, Frankie the nonbinary monster!

who isn't a split of guy and girl, or a multiple personality deal. They're just. Nonbinary. They don't need a reason or an explanation.

sure you could say, it's cause they're made up of parts from other people, but the show doesn't say that. Frankie calls those parts their "past" selves/lives. this is their life though and they are their own self. silly, sweet, emotional, curious Frankie Stein. who goes by they/them

as someone with zero gender, who can't introduce my self as they/them, that feels so good

this SHOW feels so good

cleo/frankie is really cute, very adorable, but i think im just bitten for the whole show now. i don't care what happens in particular just let me frolic gleefully in the childhood i wish id had :)

#monster high gen 3 #frankie stein #draculaura #clawdeen wolf #.#IM JUST YELLING HAPPILY PAY NO ATTENTON TO MY SHRIEKS OF JOY FROM THE ATTIC

The thing that always bothered me about the NM breakup was Edward stealing Bella's things as if that would make her forget him. She isn't going to forget a year romance just because you pilfered her stuff, dude! ESPECIALLY not a romance that also included a near-death experience!

The whole thing just never really worked for me in general. Like, I get what SM was going for, and if I had read it a few years earlier when I was in my Romeo & Juliet phase, it probably WOULD have worked for me. But I was already on the older side of YA when I read it so I just kept being like "all this for a high school romance?" even though like, I understand that in-universe this was a much bigger romance than that, that it was meant to be True Love and all that. But I kept being like "you dated for like six months idk."

And the other part that just didn't work for me is when Bella was like "I lost the whole family, the whole future I'd chosen" because like:

a) very few people get the future they planned when they were 17. I don't doubt that having your plans and dreams upended was hard, but the tone of like "this is the worst thing that has literally happened to anyone" sort of rubbed me the wrong way. That quote about time passing is actually beautifully written, IMO, but the "time passes . . . even for me" part made me groan.

b) the Cullens . . . had not offered her a future at this point? Edward hadn't proposed, no one had offered to turn her. When people are like "the Cullens abandoned her!" I'm always like . . . did they? IMO no one owed her any closure except Edward and Alice. When you break up with someone (or someone breaks up with you), you . . . usually stop hanging out with their family? IDK it just didn't strike me as "abandonment" that her ex-boyfriend's family 'left' her.

c) I just didn't buy that she actually cared about any of them anyway. Like I think she liked the idea of being an immortal vampire with a big family, but as of New Moon she canonically doesn't know ANYTHING about Rosalie and Jasper (because she learns that in Eclipse), and her convo with Carlisle with the stitches feels like the first meaningful conversation she's had with him. She never seems to find out Esme's full story. If the Cullens had left but Edward had stayed, do we honestly think Bella would have cared?

And then there was just the fact that she couldn't figure out he left to protect her when it was SO OBVIOUS. And in-universe this is supposed to be about her self-esteem, how she never thought of herself as worthy of him so of course he would leave her but . . . IDK. It was just so blatantly obvious that he left to protect he from a future of either danger or blood-sucking soullessness. He left after Jasper tried to eat her; it wasn't subtle. Like yes I get her self-esteem issues but she's also supposed to be stubborn and perceptive so the fact that she couldn't figure out what was really going on until like he came back and literally explained it to her repeatedly felt weird. But that could just be me.

And then the major, major problem with all this is that Edward leaving to protect her is supposed to be this noble sacrifice he made because a human life would be so much better and more fulfilling for anyone and he wants that for her because he loves her. BUT THEN BREAKING DAWN HAPPENS and being a vampire is just rainbows and sunshine and awesomeness for Bella. Which makes you go like "why did he bother leaving in New Moon?" and "why did they bother sucking the venom out in Twilight?" It creates this conflict of like "Did Edward et al lie about how bad being a vampire is?" or "Is Bella in denial?"

Stealing the stuff is very gaslight-y, yeah. It makes her question if he was real, if any of it was real, it hurt instead of helped. But in universe it's supposed to be him wanting her to have that clean break and chance at a human life but then the over-the-top happy ending of BD makes you go, "huh?" all over again.

#asks #I don't dislike new moon #but the tone kind of grates on me #yes i'm sure what bella is going through is very hard #but this idea that it's the worst thing ever and everyone else #who doesn't know the full story #should also treat her like she's been through the worst thing ever #is weird #like yeah of course the kids at school are 'wtf?' about her behavior #as far as they know the guy she had been dating for 6 months broke up with her #because his dad got a new job

“We have to talk a little bit about last season and the finale and all that good stuff. Last season was unique. Still Season 5 is my ultimate favourite season but Season 6 is in some ways so special and it’s because I relate to it the most. I relate to all the ideas that were explored in this season. Yes, it’s painful and sad but it might be the realist season so far. The Big Bad this season was the Gang themselves. Everybody was their own worst enemy and everyone in the real world can relate to that. This season we got a real and unfiltered look through our characters’ very psyche. It deepened each character to a whole new other level. All the pain, all the heartbreak, all the depression, all that darkness, all that drama. It wasn’t for shock value. It was for a harsh and yet meaningful heartfelt story, and I love the show for that. So yeah, for all its sadness, I really really love this season. It showed that Buffy wasn’t just a witty, happy show with some sad episodes here and there. It can go to a really dark place and keep it there constantly. It made sense making life the villain of the season because Buffy struggled just with the idea of living and it’s such a real thing. Each character’s problems were real life situations that everyone can relate to. It felt like a carry over from ‘The Body’ episode. Like seriously.

The darkness and depression - most shows would have solved it in an episode or two. But this show shows that realistic path that this thing can take so long. Grief, depression, addiction cannot be easily curved over night. It takes time. And it makes this show so much more than just a typical fantasy/supernatural show. The fact that this season started with Buffy crawling out of her own grave only to end with her crawling out into the light. This symbolised how she overcome her depression. I loved how the whole season didn’t go with their traditional Big Bad of the season. There hasn’t been a huge villain conflict since Glory and most all of the baddies of the week were either the Trios schemes or self-inflicted by the main characters. But when we finally had a proper Big Bad, it was so complicated because it was Willow. And when you look back and you see the episodes with the Trio, you can also see that they also focused on issues with Willow. Like always hidden in plain sight. What a great way to hide the real Big Bad. The very fact that one of the Gang becomes the Big Bad is so fantastic. All the build-up of the last 4 episodes, 3 of which have jaw-dropping cliffhangers - amazing stuff.

Xander rejecting Anya at the wedding; magical drug addictions; Buffy handling her depression in a destructive way; Spike dealing with the chip, his demon side, his William side and the fact of what he almost did to Buffy; Willow turning into Dark Willow; Giles’ appearance - what the hell? What the hell? By the way, Alyson acted her entire ass off in those last 3 episodes. Only she can pull off being diabolically evil while she’s still simultaneously being Willow. A big theme that I thought was extremely profound is the idea of consent. Willow struggled with it many times during the season. She did magical spells on Tara and all her friends without their consent. The Trio of course - Jonathan didn’t even realize that having a sex slave was rape. Then Spike assaulting Buffy with the justification that she needed to feel him to be reminded of his love. Amy giving magic to Willow without her consent. They all violated someone in one way or another. And it was an interesting concept. And it was interesting that the fact that they tried to touch on that aspect, you know?

For me, I really didn’t like the Trio this season. They were a bit one-dimensional. Usually Big Bads are but in this season particularly it didn’t work. But I do understand why it was necessary to have them - if it makes sense. The only interesting part about them is how they started being just nerdy boys playing games, trying to be Big Bads even though they suck at that until they became men who committed evil crimes. Jonathan got it out of the 3. He was the most mature. He understood the weight of what they did. Yes, he kept quiet but he did realize that Warren was dangerous. Andrew - Andrew man is just a simp minion willing to blindly be loyal to him.

The thing that kinda bothered me a bit - I’m not sure ‘bothered me’ is the right words - but I didn’t like the fact that we didn’t really have the time to digest Tara’s death because immediately we went to Dark Willow. I love the scene between Xander and Willow not only because he was the one to pull Willow back, but it was also a moment for the grief or pain that Willow has gone through with the loss of Tara. The impact of Tara’s death was finally dealt with when Willow collapsed with Xander on the bluff. But as I said - it really made sense that Xander was the one who pulled her back because Xander more than anyone holds a special place in Willow’s heart. He’s her first love. Her best friend since childhood. I can’t think of anyone else who could’ve penetrated her wall of grief enough to remind her of her humanity. This season Xander spent time doubting himself, letting his fears take control of himself. He doubted his ability to do good by the people he loves. And it wasn’t just in a relation with Anya, it was in a relation with everyone else that is close to him. He doubted himself. He thought that he was incapable of doing anything for his loved ones. And for me in that scene, he overcome his fears. His love for Willow was strong enough that he overcome his fears even in the face of death - which was so beautiful to see. The greatest thing about seeing Anya’s reaction to hearing Xander’s the one to save the world this time is that realization that she spent all this time trying to hurt him that if she did he wouldn’t even be able to, you know, save the world. It was so subtle that I really really loved it. I would’ve never imagined a story’s arc that ended with both Buffy and Giles out of commission and leaving it to Xander to save the world from Willow. I mean, who would’ve thought? Willow always thought that she was a nobody and it was a constant thing since Season 1. But before Tara, before Oz, she always had Xander. He loves her even though she feels like she’s a nobody. But nevertheless he loved her the way she is and the way she was back then. And Xander is that constant reminder that old Willow was worth something, you know? And it’s such a beautiful thing to see. Also the fact that Willow and Xander’s relationship isn’t romantic - it is what makes this whole thing way better. I appreciate so much this show for giving us a platonic relationship. They put friendship at center and not romance. And God, I love this show for this, like seriously. Like in this whole Buffyverse I feel like there’s 3 characters who had the most character development of all the other characters. Willow, Cordelia and Wesley. Cordelia also did a total 180 and became a woman to be proud of in the end like Willow. And Wesley - this guy was a literal geek in every sense possible - and yet in a few years he became such a dark and bad ass character. And Willow - like from this sweet, genuine nerdy girl that lacks confidence to dark veiny Willow - like what?

Spike - they had us in the end. Like, seriously had us. Like I really thought he was talking about his chip. But it turned out to be not the case. I was played perfectly even though I noticed how it was weird that he was there looking to take his chip from out of his head to hurt Buffy when we already established that the chip doesn’t work on her in the first place. So yeah, I was like what? But they really did play me. But it makes sense knowing his existential crisis, and his feelings for Buffy are a huge part of that. And he has been struggling with himself non-stop this season. And I feel like what happened with Buffy was the final tipping point that spelled him. I remember his words being like ‘What have I done? What did I do? Why did I not do it? Why do I feel this way?’ But then it came to him and he sets out to get his soul back. He wants to go back to being William. A man that he thinks is worthy of Buffy. But we all know that getting your soul back after centuries of torturing, killing and mayhem doesn’t mean happiness and rainbows once you get it back. But this is only going to make Spike worthy to have a redemption arc, you know, just like Angel. And it’s interesting to know that the difference between Angel and Spike is that Angel didn’t choose to have a soul, Spike had. He chose on his own accord to get his soul back. So I’m not sure how it’s going to work with him, you know? So both Willow and Spike got their souls back at the end of Season 6 - which is interesting.”

Your entire recap/review of Season 6. Wow. I had to quote the whole thing.

You are so insightful. Holy shit.

I fucking love you!

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Yeah, Season 6 is very special. And you’ve explained precisely why and how just like that. I’m in awe. 😮

“So both Willow and Spike got their souls back at the end of Season 6 - which is interesting.”

I swear I thought I was the only one who picked up on this parallel. The fact Dark Willow and Spike don’t interact. Of course they don’t. They’re one in the same thematically. They are the parallel characters in Season 6 and that’s why Spike was so wary of Willow. Because he recognized in her what he can’t stand in himself. He intentionally kept away from her because he didn’t want to be reminded of who he is out of a desperate need to be worthy and feel belonged. There is some striking parallels between Willow and Spike yet they barely interact. But I do believe that this season it’s very intentional that they don’t.

Some more food for thoughts because the last HC was angsty and I'm feeling it. (I'm incredibly proud for that 'Taming the Dragon' line if you can't tell)

I wonder if Cade ever tried holoforms? (He knows about it since he kinda... Fucked Holoform!Optimus according to your story lmao)(which, yes!! Feeding my 'Optimus is actually the bottom in the relationship' credence) He probably misses the things he could've been doing as a human, even the little things like drinking bud lights. But I think he misses the more important moments too. Like, Tessa's graduation ceremony. Maybe he asks for Opt's help, because he's the one who actually knows how to turn on their holoform. Cade just REALLY wants to be there for those moments because it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing (and trying to be there as a Transformer dad is just gonna cause havoc + Tessa getting weird looks)(like, holy shit! That's your dad, Tess!?) And yeah, he embarasses Tessa constantly but not in the moments where it matters.

And Opt does agree to help, because Opt loves Tessa like she's his daughter as well. So maybe they BOTH go there as two proud completely human dads watching their daughter on the stand (which one do you think screams the loudest when Tess' name got called?).

But also, the angst potential of Cade learning how to holoform. Because hearing that his human-self died is quite traumatizing, and when Cade is alone, he just turns on his holoform because he's trying to recreate how he used to be (being a transformer was not something on his to-do list). And he just spends a very long time alone being by himself, being 'human' again. He doesn't tell this to Opt because he knows how happy Opt had been when Cade's mortality wasn't an issue in their relationship, so he just keeps it to himself. Maybe Opt knows eventually, but waits for Cade to speak about it first.

Yeah, I was feeling angsty writing this lol.

HEWWWWOOOOOO!?

ANON YOUR FUCKING GOD BRAIN-

LET ME TELL YA-

Yeah turns out that being a parent transformer is actually hard when your trying to be there for your human daughter. idea of Cade wanting to have a holoform is such brain blast thing I love it.

Also having Cade trying to still be a parent while being a transformer is hilarious and chaotic like because of how big he is. He tries to go to Tessa’s place to return some of her stuff she left at Diego Garcia when she visited him and the fact he wanted to check on her. You know that one scene from Transformers (2007) movie where the autobots where at Sam’s house because they were getting impatient because Sam’s taking so long to get the glasses. As they are trying to hide around the house from Sam’s parents? It’s like that but with Tessa desperately hiding her Robo Dragon dad from her roommates while scolding his ass for this. Yeah it’s nice for him to visit BUT AT THE WRONG FUCKING TIME. Sunstreaker had to help out Cade to depart from the campus before people notice him.

Honestly Yeah!! Cade would ask Opt how to activate his Holoform to be there for Tessa. But it turns out that activating Holoforms are a bitch to do when your a beastformer and have limited knowledge of Cybertronian biology (Cause while Cade is the Autobot’s medic he’s not where near Ratchet’s level. most of the time he’s pretty much self taught and has the knowledge of what the Bots taught him). It’s was nothing but trial and Error to get the Holoform right and making it look human. Finally after a long time of bullshit and hiccups Cade was able to get the hang of his Holoform without glitching out and right on time around Tessa’s graduation. Honestly he kept his Holoform project a secret from Tessa to surprise her.

YOU FOOL YOU THOUGHT THAT CADE AND OP WOULD BE THE ONLY ONES ON TESSA’S GRADUATION?! BEE, CROSSHAIRS, DRIFT, HOUND, SUNSTREAKER, IZZY AND SQWEEKS ARE THERE TOO!!!

All of them (Except Sqweek who still needs growing to do and Izzy is a human) are in their Holoforms. They were at Tessa’s graduation cheering her on. And let me tell ya the moment Tessa saw her dad in the ceremony in his Holoform in the crowd with the rest of the family cheering her and crying to see his little girl grow up was an emotional roller coaster. The moment that Tessa was called, CADE WAS THE LOUDEST OF THE CROWD LOSING HIS SHIT WITH PURE JOY AND EXCITEMENT AS HIS HOLOFORM ALMOST GLITCHED OUT OF EXISTENCE BECAUSE OF HOW EMOTIONAL HE WAS. HE WAS CRYING TEARS OF JOY.

Crosshair, Bee and Hound were also loud as hell when Tessa was called too. While Optimus has a pretty big smile on his face to see Tessa has achieved her award and diploma. While making sure that his emotionally excited sparkmate’s Holoform doesn’t blip out from existence. Sunstreaker and Izzy are just having a blast while Sqweeks and Drift are happy for them.

After the ceremony was over Tessa rushed towards Cade as fast as she could to give him the biggest hug that she could give him. They two of them hugged eachother that Cade almost suffocated Tessa out from how proud and happy he is to be at this moment. As Cade can embrace his own daughter again without getting awkward. There were tears, laughter and happiness. Cade tells Tessa how her mother would be proud of her and stuff. And then the whole family joined in the hug it’s was wholesome as fuck. Also they partied at newly repaired Yeager property as Cogman was preparing the feast while Vivian and hot rod do the decorations and it was a FUCKING RAVE THERE. To say the least this moment is something that Cade will never forget for all eternity.

As for that Angst part my god

Honestly I love the idea of Cade trying to replicate the feeling of being human again with his Holoform. But the thing is it feels fake…like he tried to taste bub lights but…the feeling is not there…it feels fabricated like it’s fake…he looks at himself in the mirror and the only thing that stares him back was his reflection but instead being his holoform’s it’s his cybertronian form looking back at him. Reminding him that despite the Holoform he’s not Human anymore. He’s not flesh and blood anymore. Desperately trying to recreate those human feelings but fails. He tries and tries to feel the pain in his Holoform but dammit it feels nothing and Hollow. It’s going to be another adjustment period for him but he modifies his Holoform to recreate those human parts again but deep down he know that this…isn’t his real body anymore. His human body is dead, gone never coming back….but hey he can at least enjoy driking bud lights and doing basic stuff again without the Size difference….losing human mortality is terrifying to him.

Opt would find out about this and waits for the day for cade to talk about it. Until then he waits for that day to come

Well, it is true sukuna is evil ( and a piece of shit, but I love his expressions) but he is a delicious sin XD everything about him is quite delicious XD Anyway XD

I am happy some more people find my probably failed reading comprehension of yorozu's gift ruining sukuna, a good idea XD thank you, I just like some stuff like and to torture characters XD

Yes! I am excited about them too! It seems it will be bangers XD there is so many possibilities of what the plan could be that this talk would be endless XD

Maki could jump on Sukuna, but maybe they have some kind sequence to fight him, not saying yuuji and Hiromi will die necessarily, just maybe a down time.

Or maybe she will help Kinji?

But I do agree that yuuji pisses sukuna off for many reasons and would be interesting to see what he can do against sukuna, not just ability wise, but also psychological wise!

I was also thinking that, maybe Yuji could switch bodies with sukuna and then kill sukuna on his body? Might be a stretch, but it's a possibility. But that would mean that yuji would have no body to go back to so either him or megumi would die? Idk... just ideas XD

Also I wonder what will happen to poor megumi, boy needs a break and a big hug XD

I have list of issues with the whole gojo situation tbh, I am mostly confused and I this point with so much discussion around him, I got tired and confused XD his relationship with megumi is one of the things that leaves me a bit bitter and confused.

I see, I thought the same thing, it doesn't make sense for ke jaku to switch bodies right now.

Gojo techniques is cool and all, but it doesn't have the reach Geto's have. It would also make everything uo until now a big ass waste of time.

But I do think that they should dispose of gojo's body the right way, just in case XD and everyone else who might die tbh.

I got the feeling that while kenjaku is not much of a fighter, he is really good at it as if he does not quite enjoy fighting, just does it to keep doing whatever he is doing at the moment.

And he has a lot of experience too which helps tons against the "baby" jujutsu XD

It's very fun to chat with you! I don't feel judged and I am glad to have someone to hear me out and just chat. No fandom bs XD

Thank you!

Thank you for your asks, it's fun to speculate.

It'd've been fun if Yorozu's gift was a double edged sword. I reread 237 and it's said there that the weapon is her gift, I forgot about it because I forgot to read the chapter in order after the leaks. I love the leaks but they are fragmented and it messes with my understanding and memory.

I'm sure Maki will be brought in at some point but it's hard to say in which fight, she'd be an asset in any of the fights.

If I had to bet on some body swapping action with Yuuji's soul powers, I honestly would see him more switching himself into Megumi's body and getting Megumi into his own. One that's not transformed into a 4 armed behemoth, one that would likely be easier to reform. And like Sukuna can't be left unsupervised in a separate body. Sukuna needs a jailer and Yuuji is the only one who knows how to do that.

I've discussed Gojou so much recently that seeing him irks me at this point XD So I get you.

Also yeah, Kenjaku isn't one to choose a physical fight as a way to win but they will fight if they have to, and they do have skills.

And lastly I'm always happy to chat with fellow Sukuna enjoyers. He's an awful man with a hot 4-armed body and 2 lovely sexy smiles. I really like him as a thirst object but also as an antagonist. He has a fun personality for an antagonist.

I'm really curious for more Yuuji and Sukuna interactions, I really want to see Yuuji getting under his skin, messing with his beliefs and his self-image. He's done so much emotional and psychological damage to Yuuji, yet at the same time Yuuji never yielded to Sukuna, never cowered, never admired him. It'd be funny to see Sukuna yield. See Yuuji prove once and for all that his soul is stronger in every respect.

#answering asks #again thank you for the asks #jjk spoilers

So you’ve done evil cupchal headcanons so why not for the whole family

Oooooooohhhhhhhhh good idea!

(Ps, I haven’t drawn evil kettle or mugan yet, but I will leave Headcanons for them!)

(These include cupchal and slight mugchal. Don’t like, don’t read.)

Elder kettle boil🫖🚬

He/him, aroace, (nobody knows how old he is, not even himself) 4/16/18??

- heavy chain smoker, he fucking REAKS.

- he’s a lot meaner than the original kettle.

- hangs out a lot at the craps table with the casino crew.

- the only reason he joined devils side is cause devil said there’s no rent for apartments in hell.

- still calls devil “Mrs meow meow” and devil fuckin HATES it-

- even if he’s a little meaner than his old self, he’s one of the only ones who will listen to mugman vile when he’s having a hard day….

Mugan glass🍼🔥

She/her, sexuality not yet defined, 6 month - 1 yo, 11/16/1933, speech impediment

- cuphead eve and mugman vile’s little sister

- very quiet, so you can’t hear her coming

- smuggler, she can steal anything she wants and no ones the wiser!

- baby bottle is her #1 nemesis.

- when she’s old enough, she wants to be part of her brother’s circus!

- loves her family to death, even if it is falling apart.

- carries a machete with her at all times, she hides it in her head-

Vessel shatter💸🗡

He/him, bisexual, 37 yo, 5/18/1896, ADHD(medicated), depression

- a lot quieter and less energetic that our beloved vessel.

- he and dice can’t even look at each other without crying.

- rethinking his marriage to thorn, she’s very mean to him. He misses the old her….rosé….god, even thinking that name makes him cry.

- *ahem* gay for Ludwig *ahem*-

- hates ms malice cause she’s just like him when he was a kid, so when she started dating eve, he got pretty pissed.

- mostly works at the casino in terms of money.

- he and vile don’t get along to well, but they would never hurt each other on purpose. Shatter cares about him to much to hurt him.

- also a heavy chain smoker, he’s trying to quit for his kids, he caught vile trying to smoke and it almost broke his heart.

Rosé thorn💔💋

She/her, polysexual, 36 yo, 6/22/1897,

- unlike our lovely rosé, thorn isn’t very kind to her family.

- she constantly pins the boys up against each other out of entertainment.

- her job is still singing but sometimes she’ll come home with someone else’s wallet, and a few kiss marks…

- is aware her husband isn’t happy anymore, and is really trying her best to be nicer. (By trying I mean not at all)

- she knows a good joke or two though! That’s where eve gets his humor!

- still a fashion queen✨

Mugman vile🎪🎭

He/she/they, bigender, pansexual, polyamorus, 12-15 yo, 2/18/1920, autistic, depression, anger issues

- big flirt, can date anyone he wants with just a wink.

- the Frank Sinatra of hell.

- stressed 24/7, but is too cocky to show it.

- ringmaster in him and his brother’s circus!

- he DID date malice for a while, but they didn’t really feel a “spark” y’know?

- part of him wants to get with ms malice again, so he asked his parents for help. Shatter said not to, because it’ll break eve’s heart, but thorn (because she was bored) said yes, that vile deserved her more than eve.

- so for a while, he did small gestures, flowers, chocolates, gifts, etc. but he clearly saw she loved eve more than anyone.

- he took his father’s advice, even if eve was a bafoon, he’s still his brother. Plus, I don’t think malice and vile would be very stable in marriage…

- he’ll find the right person some day! Maybe-

- remembers most of his past life, but not enough.

Cuphead eve (evil)💥🪗

He/they, transmasculine, bisexual, 10-13 yo, 9/29/1922, autistic, ADHD(unmedicated), anxiety, speech impediment,

- got him inspired by the mini joker (robin) from Batman beyond: return of the joker, a psychotic smile and SO much trauma-

- in the circus he and his brother runs, he’s a clown. he just doesn’t wear makeup. (Yet, I have to decide on the right design)

- very timid unlike our renowned cuphead, big people pleaser.

- stutters a lot, so he has trouble talking, but malice helps him out.

- has a bad habit of biting through his gloves when he’s nervous, so malice sews them up for him with fun patters. They’re his favorite pair.

- thinks he’s not good enough for malice…

- has very little memory of his past life, and stays awake at night trying to remember….

- one time, his old friends (Cora, Mac, canteen, buster) went to his carnival. After the performance, they met him in his dressing room trying to get him to remember them. He did, until big D walked in. He was telling eve that he had a good performance, that’s when his friends had to leave…..they come over every now and then trying to get him back to normal.

Bonus:

Ms chalice Ms malice🩰💕

She/they, demigirl, omnisexual, 11-14 yo (physically), 6/30/????, dyslexic, depression

- trapeze artist in the circus!

- when she started dating eve, she was just trying to get back at vile. But eve gave malice something not a lot of people gave her: kindness

- eve is literally the only person she’s nice too. Everyone else can go fuck themselves-

- she, boil and shatter are the only ones who fully remember their pasts.

- she and shatter constantly try to murder each other.

- she loves teaching eve and glass new dance moves!

- literally Devil’s BFF, she joins him in musical hour.

- honestly, she’s friends with a lot of people in hell!

(Note: I will add more if I get more ideas soon! Hope you like them! Which ones your favorite?)

Wanna know about Hinanami, Hinazumi & HiNatsumi Fankids... How many are there?

I'll preface these by saying that I'm not going to number how many kids each girl has with Hajime. :P It's not out of laziness - honestly, I just like how Vergil does it in leaving the "numbers" up to the imagination. Plus, people have their own ideas about how many kids Makoto or Hajime would or should have, so in a way, this method can make quite a few people happy.

... Well, unless you think (ex., Hinanami) should have just one kid, and I give them multiple kids... Then you're outta luck. But, I'll try to think these through.

I'mma weak man. These kids will be heavily based off characters from other series - gives me the chance to "show them off" since I don't have sprites. I'll rattle off two of Hinanami's kids. Again, there could be more, but I'll leave that up to the imagination for now.

I went with Mari for this first one. Mari Hinata~... Mari means "truth; reason". I'm sure you all know about the "That's Wrong!" memes from Goodbye Despair, and truth/reason is pretty important for Hajime and Chiaki both. :3 Her hair color probably takes after her mom's, but Mari grows her hair out more like this. She's got her dad's face and/or his eyes. Her smiles are some combination of her parents' smiles. Mari's a bright, mature young girl that studies and practices hard, but also likes having fun with her friends and especially her little brother. ... Oh, she loves little brother. Very, very much. (❋•‿•❋) Mari enjoys hosting picnics with her brother and friends, and while she's open to taking part in video game multiplayer tournaments whenever their friends get into it, she's not an avid gamer like her mother. Aside from the occasional pranks, she normally has more mature tastes and hobbies. I guess you could say she inherited Hajime's determination and tenacity, but Chiaki's... concept of "natural talent". As such, she's a bit of a perfectionist. Hajime and Chiaki don't hold her to standards like that, they'd rather Mari just be happy - but Mari really wants to make her family proud, bring home only the very best grades, be the best in sports, play perfectly in music, bake the very best cookies, etc... Usually she can keep a lid on her emotions and not go too crazy with her perfectionism, but Mari is pretty passionate about it. After all, she's not making the effort for herself, she's doing it for her loved ones, to give them the best experience in everything~ She's a hard little worker, yes she is~ (❋•‿•❋)

This next one (Sunny, in Omori canon) is Mari's little brother. Nikko, which means "sunshine." His hair color is more like his dad's, and he's got softer facial features like his mother, and perhaps her eyes, too. Nikko definitely inherited the more reserved parts of Hajime and Chiaki's personalities - he doesn't have much energy, gets tuckered out easily, but he's got a vivid imagination. He loves to draw, read manga, play video games, and hang out with his friends and especially his big sister. Unfortunately, he inherited a lot of Hajime's self-esteem issues. Basically, he struggles with a lot of things and has a tendency to give up if he becomes too dissatisfied; also, he compares himself with others too much, and has a habit of putting Mari up on this pedestal that he'll never reach. As they get older and Mari starts prepping for college in high school, Nikko really starts missing her company, and that's why he takes up the violin... so that he can hopefully spend time with her in duet practice, but Mari being who she is and holding him to the same grueling standards as her... the practice does put a strain on their relationship.

Hinazumi probably has at least a couple kids like Hinanami, but for right now I'll name just the one. :P

This boy's name is Takato (Omori canon name: Hero). Mahiru and Hajime went for that name because the Kanji used means "treasure" or "precious thing." Takato definitely takes after his dad in his hair, his face, and his height. Though he does have his mom's eyes. Kinda like Mari, Takato is a mature kid that excels because he works and practices hard. Because some of his friends and half-siblings are reckless, he's developed a knack for First-Aid and taking care of others... though his main passion resides in cooking. Together, he and Mari are kinda like the stand-in parents for the siblings and half-siblings whenever the adults aren't around. There's been lots of good times, but there's also been a fair amount of fights and coverups (like when something gets broken in the house). Takato is often the mediator (or tries to be) while Mari is the "inspiration", or the leader that brings everyone together.

Similar to Hinazumi above, I'm gonna just list the one kid for now. There are probably a couple kids for Hinazuryu, though.

This girl's name is Izumi (Omori canon name: Aubrey), which means "spring" or "fountain." Natsumi felt like going for that name out of sentimentality for the place she, Hajime, and Chiaki used to meet up to play video games at Hope's Peak. Izumi's hair color is more like her dad's, grows it out longer than Natsumi's, but she takes after her mom a lot more in face, eyes, and attitude. Izumi's not a yakuza or anything, but she is a tough girl that doesn't take crap from others~ But she also has a vulnerable side, and confides in Nikko a lot while sitting on swings. Izumi's favorite possession is her baseball bat, which she uses for more than just softball; though she also has a fondness for stuffed animals and... bunnies. ... Yes, she has a pet bunny named "Bun-Bun." Don't you judge her! (❋•‿•❋) Izumi's protective of her family and friends, though she does take it personally if you hurt her, emotionally or otherwise. She's not the sharpest tool in the shed on the academic side of things, but that's okay. To her, there's more important stuff than school stuff - although she does idolize Mari a lot because of how smart and kind she is. (❋•‿•❋)

What are your favorite ships with Molly and why??

YES YEEEES I love to talk about these things because I’m a SAP!!!!!!!!!

Okay I definitely have more than just like ... “a few” because I have a lot of love in my heart just like Molly SO bear with me

My first EVER big Molly ship was Molly and Alastor. Honestly, never expected it, but it’s still one of my big comfort ships.

They both share similar time periods and love for old fashioned things! While, yes, Molly is a very promiscuous girl, she is still A CLASSY LADY! And it’s really funny the juxtaposition between her and Angel from his first impressions. On the topic of Angel - the amount of torment between the two of them when Molly and him are dating is hilarious. ALSO on top of how I headcanon Molly to be a cannibal who doesn’t realize it... Who better to awaken that than him? WITH that said, he is apparently a good cook and loves doing it. Molly loves to eat and has a never ending stomach. It’s perfect.

Also just like.. AESTHETICALLY?? They’re pleasant. The color palettes, the physicality, the overall time period aesthetic ... Love it love it.

Moving on!

Molly and Ozzie.

It’s apparent how much I love this ship. The way I’ll see gifs of Ozzie or him on the dash and I feel my inner Molly muse just go FERAL.

Ozzie and Molly fuckin VIBE, dude. THEY VIBE!!

The trope of ‘friends with benefits to lovers’ ... CHEF’S KISS!

Molly is already like besties with Fizz, and if you wanna go with her then working for him and her and fizz having a bit of a partnership and acts together and such ... It’s just very cute.

The idea of Ozzie learning and falling in love with Molly just makes me go EEEE

In turn, Ozzie makes Molly feel ... Happy.

LIKE. ESP in terms of if she’s working there. Molly finally is taking initiative in her life. She’s doing something she likes and is having fun with because SHE wanted to, and no one groomed her into doing it. She is doing something she is getting respect and proper attention toward. Her talents and work is being noticed and rewarded gratefully.

Like she never felt that before? And it’s just. Real nice.

And also being involved with someone where sex isn’t so much feeling like a coping mechanism or something she feels dirty/regrets about. It’s a positive sex environment and the acts of it are fun and just... Fun!! And just silly sometimes I imagine and just so respectful and also very fucking good.

And, of course, Molly being with any higher power muse is always fun teehee <3

MOLLY AND VERO.

COME ON PEOPLE. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!

These two hot pink bitches who have tons of shitty exes and love and basically feed off sex in a metaphorical and literal sense who both also have heart motifs??

Like listen it’s so obvi Vero and Molly would get along so well.

Molly treating Vero like an actual Person rather than just.. Piece of Ass or Pop Star. She gives Vero that ground, that ‘safe space’, so to speak. In turn, Vero offering Molly a sense of confidence. Bringing out the light and shine into Molly’s dimming flame.

They’re girl best friends your honor.

Molly Husk.

Come on. COME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

LIKE ESP with the work Ghost and I did between their Husk and Molly?? I fucking LIVE Bro.

These two very damaged people, with damaged pasts, blood stained hands, millions of regrets, terrible coping habits that lead to self destruction, difficulties opening up to anyone about their issues ... Coming together and learning to love, and to heal, and to find acceptance and a Place with someone.

Molly’s patience with Husk, her love, her tenderness ... Having him slowly begin to open up to her. And, in turn, Molly slowly letting more vulnerability show with her, having Husk learn and quickly adapt into compassion and understanding and his own heart of gold shining through

God I live bitch I LIVE

Molly and Vox

You know the meme like “I can’t fix him but he can make me worse?” Yeah. <3 SODFIGJ

Esp like in regards w Toxic’s Vox which I usually default to. Like ... I LOVE me a good bastardization arc, okay.

I love Molly slowly (well it was a slippery slope and she took a sled lets be real-) indulging into greed and sadism. Not caring at all for the destruction, loss of innocent lives and tortured people ... She doesn’t care. She cares about what she can get and what makes her and Vox happy.

Molly’s growing selfishness and getting lost in her devotion and love to Vox, and in turn Vox growing soft on this bubbly, bright, pink spider? It tickles me it DOES

I love a ship where the big scary powerful mfer is soft and tender to their partner and NO ONE ELSE.

ALSO the drama between Angel and Val’s shit going on???? Like w Toxic’s Vox how he wants Angel dead. Angel’s death devastating Molly and causing her to spiral into a mental and emotional breakdown for who knows how long, BUT ... Now, Vox having closer to complete devotion of Molly, having her under his hand and him being one of her major pillars of support at the moment. More reason to make her entirely dependent on him ... Faux sympathy and consolation from him as he tries to comfort and dote after his lady after he was secretly the cause of her brothers demise

UGH its so messy I love it

BUT that’s all off the top of my head anyway? Or least ones I feel I can just RAMBLE a lot about at this current time BUT yeah

Honestly I ship Molly w like 99 percent of the cast for HH/HB, the 1 percent mostly being those with conflicting orientations and or underage muses- APSDOFGKIJ

#Sugar Spun (Asks)#Anonymous #long post #look how much i can type! BRBRBRBRBR
