neighbour!kƶnigās reaction when he sees a guy walk out of your apartment . need your thoughts on that
omg, the man is gutted! Absolutely heartbroken! Especially after you asked to sit on his couch like that! š
He gets jealous but if you aren't technically together, then he realizes that he doesn't have a right to be so jealous and is a little overwhelmed with sadness!
So, last night Kƶnig deviated from my outline! How very rude of him. But despite a power outage this morning, he was all over this and provided some fluff of the hurt comfort variety!
Even before he joined the military, he was an early riser. The sun was just starting to rise when he stepped out of this flat and heard the door to your flat open. He turned, smile already lighting his eyes, when instead of seeing you, there was a man. He had a slender but muscular build; the sleeveless workout top he wore gave plenty of proof of the manās definition. The man, taller than you, shorter than him, looked at him a little warily, good. The man gave him a subtle nod as if to greet him then went down the stairs ahead of him.Ā
A sense of smugness, along with the sinking feeling in his stomach at the thought of you with another man, washed over him as he noticed how quickly that man moved, how quickly he tried to run. Kƶnigās long stride made it easy to keep up, though, and he was only a step behind as the guy exited the building. He watched as the man practically sprinted toā¦ guest parking. That was it then, you had had an overnight guest, a man. And Kƶnig found himself jealous.Ā
-
He tried to ignore the bitter, pitiful, sensation that plagued him all day, but was not very successful. What was he supposed to think of when thoughts of you led to the sad reminder that you had chosen someone else? He certainly shouldnāt be thinking about using the manās license plate number to find out more about him, where he worked, for instance.Ā
Now on his way home for the evening, climbing up the stairs to his flat, beer and food in his hands, he was met with another painful sight. The man was back, leaving again apparently, and you leaned forward, pressed your lips to the left side of his face, then again to the right side.Ā
āAlright, be careful!ā You bid the man good night, ātext me when you get home.āĀ
Kƶnig wanted to sigh, he pouted underneath his hood. The way you had the capacity to care for others so much was one of the things he liked about you, but right about now, he wished you only cared for him.
āOh! Hi, Kƶnig!ā You caught him before he could enter his flat.
He looked at you and tried to smile, but even he could tell it didnāt quite meet his eyes.Ā "Hello."
āI have something for you!ā
āMe?ā
You nodded, āhold on a sec, let me grab it!ā
He unlocked and left his door open while you disappeared for a second, just so he could put his groceries down. You came back, knocking on the open door, with a plastic food container and a smile adorning your face.
āCome,ā he invited you in, his prior sorrow temporarily forgotten at your friendly disposition. Friends, yes, maybe friends was ok.
āLiliana wanted you to have some cake! She said after all that candy you bought, you must have a sweet tooth!āĀ
He took the offered confection and set it down on the table, next to his beer. āItās her birthday?āĀ
āNo. She had this big performance today. The whole family gathered at my sisterās place to congratulate her. The place was pretty crowded, with my parents there too, so my brother stayed with me last night.āĀ
Kƶnig blinked. āYourā¦brother?ā
Now that he thought about it, the man did bear a slight resemblance to youā¦
āMmhm.ā You nodded then tilted your head, āwhatās up with you? Everything ok?ā
The man was your brother!Ā
Kƶnig let out a loud and boisterous laugh. āEverything is perfect! Please thank the little mouse for me!āĀ
āMouse?ā You scoffed, āwait till you get to know her.ā Youāre pretty sure she loudly told you to take a slice of cake to your ānice neighbor manā to embarrass you in front of the family, little shit.Ā
He laughed again, āI would like to!ā Because that would mean you incorporating him into your life even more! āWill you eat with me?ā He asked once his chuckling faded.
āWell, Iāve had my fill of cake, but Iād love to hang out.āĀ
Oh, heād love that too!

Anime only watchers and people who aren't caught up with the Manga, BEWARE... Cuz I'm about to discuss Spy X Family Mission 85... You have been warned...! š
[SPOILERS AHEAD FROM THIS POINT ON]
HOLY FREAKING SHIT!!šµ I AM SO GODDAMN SPEECHLESS RIGHT NOW...!!! š±
(Endo, how do keep doing this to me...!?)
This chapter was absolutely NUTS, so talk about it shall we...? š
Okay, so... When I first opened up this chapter, my dumb ass thought that this was Twilight being woken up by Fiona...: š
Obviously it was Yuri, but I still got a little worried that Endo was gonna skip Fiona and Wheeler's confrontation...! š¤
Anyway, it turns out that the female SSS officer that we saw at beginning of this arc is the one that wakes up Yuri, and her name is Chole...!! (Which honestly makes me laugh because Scarface and Agent Mustache have been in the series for a way longer time than Chole has, AND WE STILL DON'T KNOW THEIR NAMES!! šµ Endo, you nut... š)
Then, after Scarface tells Yuri to get some medical treatment and for Chole to help him to get there, Yuri starts to wonder to himself about Twilight, and...:
...HE HASN'T FULLY FIGURED IT OUT YET! š
Which tells me that Yuri loves doesn't suspect his brother-in-law and would probably have to see that Loid is injured the same way as Twilight before he jumps to that conclusion...!! š
Moving on, we cut back to where Wheeler, Nightfall and Twilight are, and things couldn't be more intense...!!
Wheeler has Twilight hostage and threatens to kill him like he did for that other agent back in Mission 84, but unlike last time...
...Nightfall does in fact, drop her weapon... And because of that, Wheeler figures that she must care for Twilight, so tells her THIS:
Nightfall then rushes towards Wheeler, and before he could properly react...
NIGHTFALL KNOCKS WHEELER DOWN!! šµ
(Breaking her arm in the process...!! š°)
And y'know what, I'm starting to get the impression that Endo might have a thing for women that can kick his ass...!! š (Just like Twilight...!) šš
Sorry, I got a little off topic there...! š
What was I saying before, oh right...! *Ahem...!*
NIGHTFALL IS FREAKING TERRIFYING...!! š±
And after she absolutely destoryed her arm (and Wheeler's face), she tells Wheeler that he's weak because...:
Nightfall proceeds to KICK THINE ASS of Wheeler, breaking her other arm and one of her legs in the process...!! š± This causes Wheeler to think that all he needs to do is get his distance from her, but before he could, Nightfall uses one of her broken arms to do THIS to Wheeler...:
Thus ending the chapter... AND WHAT ANOTHER AMAZING CHAPTER THIS WAS!! š This whole arc ain't even over yet and it has already become...
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ARC IN ALL OF SPY X FAMILY!! š
And at this point, I honestly don't care how good or bad the ending of this arc is gonna be because THIS ARC HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT ABSOLUTE HYPE THROUGHOUT!! š
Speaking of the end, could we be reaching the end of this arc in the next chapter or so?And if we are, what's gonna happen next? š¤I don't think that Yuri will be hospitalized, especially after seeing how he was doing in the beginning of this chapter...! But, I still most definitely believe that Twilight will be in the hospital, and I hope that Yor finds out about it...! š
Anyway, that's all I gotta say about Mission 85, and like always, I can't wait for the next chapter!! š So until next Mission... Take care, be safe out there, and be kind to one another...!! š SEE Y'ALL LATER!! šš

Ohh so I'm thinking... about that fertility doctor idea and omg omg
So like maybe readers husband left her because she wasn't getting pregnant and he was a douche anyway. So she decides months later to just find out for sure. Åeader goes to the best fertility clinic in the region and sees Dr Barnes and Dr Rogers. Barnes, or Bucky, he tells you to call him, does your exam with the help of Dr Rogers, Steve as he insists you call him. You tell them all about your exhusband and how you wanted a family so bad and how he blamed you. So anyway, Reader gets the results and they tell her she just needs some good seed.
And they make her their little housewife and mommy QwQ turns out she was very fertile her ex was just shooting blanks :ć
@buckgasms you have unleashed breeding demons all over š everyone wants to be knocked up by hot doctors Barnes and Rogers!
@dumbgothbunny They'd definitely make you their sweet, always pregnant wife. You'd live with them in a big, cozy house with a large backyard, so you could run in peace the house and your own little kindergarten š

You may have seen me obsess over this before, but... Luke tries to teach Jess how to play baseball, because "every boy likes baseball, right?" And it doesn't go very well. š
The Diner Dudes and the Bad Hop
Part I
Lorelai is bussing a table when Luke clatters down into the diner, and as she looks up and takes him in, it's clear she's trying not to laugh.
"What?" Luke demands. "What?!"
"Nothing, I just didn't know you realized you could wear those things with the brim to the front." She reaches up and gently flicks the brim of his ancient Mets cap.
"Knock it off." What does it say about him that even that miniscule degree of contact with her sends his stomach into somersaults?
"Sorry, sorry." She looks him over once more, from the hat down to the scuffed up Slugger hanging at his side. "So, you're really going to go through with it?"
"'Course," he says. "He's excited."
Her face is soft. "Of course he is. He loves to take the trash out if it means you're with him."
"It's going to be fun," Luke insists. "All boys love baseball."
"Right right." She snaps and points at him, cheeky. "Hey, do you think he'll put whatever he's reading down long enough to hit the ball, or are you thinking the reading material will be thick enough to be a stand-in for the bat?"
Luke rolls his eyes. "Are you in overtime yet?"
"Maybe."
"Go home."
Part II
"All right, bud, remember what I told you?"
Six-year-old Jess is vibrating with excitement. "Yep!" He ticks the items off on his grubby fingers. "Keep my eye on the ball. Donāt swing at anything below your shoulders or anything higher than your knees."
"Er, close. It's actually - "
"And quit when it starts to feel like all the baselines are running uphill."
Luke scratches his head. "Did... I don't remember telling you that last one."
Jess scrambles for the backpack he slung off along the first baseline and pulls out a pristine library book. "Babe Ruthās Baseball Advice," he announces proudly. "Mrs. Gilley ordered a copy of it for the library when I told her you were gonna teach me baseball."
Mentally Luke runs through a catalogue of sayings attributed to the Big Bam and makes a mental note to remind Mrs. Gilley that Jess is still in elementary school. "All right, put the book down, let's get to it, kid!"
"I'm ready, Uncle Luke!" With comedic effort he hefts the bat over one shoulder and readies himself behind the plate.
"Uh, honey? Try taking the mitt off when you bat."
"You got it, Uncle Luke!"
Part III
"Jess, I think you'll probably have more luck if you open your eyes when you swing."
"Good idea, Uncle Luke!"
"Jess, honey, that's third base, not first."
"But we read left to right! Why do we run right to left?!"
"I, uh... I don't actually know the answer to that."
"That was better! Try running towards the ball instead of away from it next time!"
"What if it lands on my head and cracks it open like an egg?!"
"No, I'm definitely sure there are only three bases, kiddo."
"Chuck Presby says there are twelve, and if you miss any of them they make the umpire put you in JAIL!"
"But are you sure?"
"Look, sweetheart, I know I told you I don't actually know everything about baseball, so I guess it's possible... But I'm telling you, I don't think there has ever been a baseball player who was also a bank robber. And you've gotta stop listening to anything that Presby kid tells you, he's an id - he's just teasing you."
"Uncle Luke! We forgot the wickets!"
"No, Jess, there are no wickets in baseball, that's cricket."
"Uncle Luke! Uncle Luke! I hit it! I - oh no! Uncle Luke! Are you okay?!"
Part IV
Lorelai unearths a bag of peas from the diner's freezer and gently settles it against Luke's cheekbone. "Well, at least he hit it."
Luke glances over at the counter where Jess is wearing more ice cream than is getting into his mouth. He loves that little gremlin so much he might actually cry - or would, if any tears could escape his rapidly-swelling eye. "He certainly did. Baby's first bad hop."
"What on earth is a bad hop?"
"You know," Luke sighs, "ask me some other time. I think I'm done talking about baseball for the day."
"You got it. Need a beer, boss?"
"Make it two. Hey, didn't I tell you to go home?
"You want me to get you a beer or not?"
"Right, shutting up now."
Part V - Two Weeks Later
"And then," Jess says proudly, tapping the little square with his finger, "the guy hit a fly and got out at center field - so I put the 8 in his box Eight stands for center field, remember?"
Lorelai whistles over the scorebook, impressed. "That's so cool, kid. And you learned how to do all that today?"
"Yep." He spins a little on his stool, clutching the precious document carefully in both hands. "Uncle Luke says I picked it up faster than anyone he's ever seen."
"Well, that doesn't surprise me even a little bit."
"I think watching baseball is more fun than playing baseball." Jess beams at Luke as he comes out from the kitchen, Jess's dinner in hand. "Don't you think so, Uncle Luke?"
Luke sets Jess's plate in front of him and strokes his nephew's hair. "You know what? These days I think you're right."

I saw the art of Madara with baby Tsunade, and it's so cute!! You are cool!
I'm now interested in reading about the possible almost familial interactions between Tsunade and Madara (and possibly the other Uchiha as well, but that's entirely up to you) in this au, if you have time to write it. Would Tsuna wish Madara a happy Father's Day just to poke fun at the old man?
Also, I wish you a good day as one of my most favorite naruto artists. :)
Thank you!
Madara and Tsunade have the oddest relationship in the TSAU, I love it. Heās like a guidance counselor, Disneyland dad, over protective big brother all rolled in one š
letās review her Uchiha relationships
Madara
From the moment he found out Hashirama would be a father, he was supportive in only the way Madara can be; told him to get the fuck over the shock.
Itās not like heād leave his dumbass to struggle alone with a baby. The kid would be doomed with just Hashirama and his stick in the mud brother.
Madara wasnāt at all shocked that the girl Hashirama knocked up skipped town after the babyās birth, but he was shocked that she literally left the baby on Hashiās doorstep. So he played fairy godfather and sold a few questionable things to help pay for some basic necessities for little Tsunade.
He did not want to hold her. Holding babies is scary and he didnāt feel suited for something so delicate. But he didnāt really have a choice when Hashirama plopped a pillow in his lap and Mito forced placed the ash blonde baby in his arms
Turns out he was a natural and Tsunade didnāt seem to mind him.. but she did have a massive blowout on him and he demanded Hashirama take his disgusting brat back
Once she wasnāt so new, Madara didnāt have a problem holding her for a minute or two and would sometimes just take her from Hashirama whenever he was looking too stressed
Heās the one that laughed about her toddler self fighting the other kids because he was the one that told her she could
While Mito and Hashirama were in college, he babysat her after daycare. often plopped her in his sidecar to go for a ride so she didnāt have to be bored indoors
He also is the one that freaked out when some little boy tried to kiss her on the playground and got into a shouting match with that kids father
Introduced his first born to her as her little cousin
Taught her how to haggle
Was absolutely disgusted when he found out she had a little boyfriend. Sheās a kid, she doesnāt need a boyfriend she was 14 and if sheās dating, it should at least be an Uchiha so he can make sure the kid stays in line
Definitely chaperoned her dates or had one of his men do it and scared off at least 2 boys that way
Didnāt really care if she wanted to try his alcohol and laughed when she inevitably ļæ¼made a disgusted face over the taste of it. Stict with the sodas and fruity cocktails, kid.
Also never told on her when she did get in trouble. Heād just picked her up from the police station and told her she needs to either knock it off or get better at hiding it because sheās going to break Mitoās heart.
Tsunade calls him her āold manā, but she does give him a genuine call on Fatherās Day
Heās got her graduation pictures with the rest of his childrenās pictures on display in his living room
They catch up over drinks every third Thursday of the month at the lounge
He doesnāt want to here her bs about being tired of being single because they both know that is by choice. He stopped interfering with her dating life when she went off to college
He has however threatened every Uchiha within 20 years of her age that they better not fuck with her feelings
Obito
Tsunade rescued Obito from a girls beat down and teased him ruthlessly about getting stomped on by a bunch of pigtails
They get a long great and Tsunade was the cool big sister he was glad to have
She helped pop his dislocated shoulder back in and let him and let him hang out with her friends
She also threatened to knock some sense into him when it came to his fighting with Kakashi
He called her about every concern involving Ryu the first 3 months of her life even though he can afford private medical care for their baby
They have gambling nights with Hashirama and both still owe him money heās not going to collect from them, but itās funny seeing them still pout like they did when they were kids and losing
Any family get togethers and these two are drinking and burning food in the kitchen while swearing theyāve got it under control
Has leaned to dodge her laughing fits that usually include swatting at him
Shisui
She isnāt the most comfortable alone with him as he told her he doesnāt see her as his family and that paired with his flirtatious ways just has her on guard
Doesnāt help that heās broken into her apartment to be stitched up at 3am
But she knows if she ever has a problem with someone, heāll fix it. She just chooses not to owe him any favors ever.
Shisui sees her a invaluable ļæ¼asset to the uchiha. Itās not every day you find a ļæ¼doc you can pay off to look the other way and knows what loyalty means
So he chooses to keep a friendly relationship
Izuna
He didnāt like her at first
Sheās some other guyās problem, so why Madara would be carrying her around like she was his was beyond him
He eventually warmed up to the idea of her being around because she just wouldnāt leave him alone
He taught her how to do rude gestures from around the world for fun
He looks out for Tsunade and even donates anonymously to the clinic so sheāll have one less thing to worry about
He also paid her biological mother off to stay away years ago. When his informants told him she was inquiring about the child she abandoned
If she didnāt care enough to reach out until Tsunadeās father made something of himself, then she didnāt deserve to have access to her. At least that was his opinion
Only him and Tsunade know about that as he ask her if she wanted to meet this woman or if he should just sign the check
Sheās the only other person his Palm cockatoo likes beside himself. So whenever Izuna out of town, she watches him
Itachi
Sheās only had to treat Itachi a few times and each time heās been a quiet guy
She knows heās not the most trusting guy, but at least heās respectful
She wouldnāt mind if he took over the Uchiha when Madara stepped down
Sasuke
Heās the biggest headache. He stresses her out so much
Order him to take bed rest? Heās back working BOTH jobs
Sheās had to lug her medical kit to his apartment to stitch him back up
Sasuke semi avoids her because she treats him roughly (partially because he doesnāt like sitting for it)
When heās not losing blood, they get along fine
Heāll even bring her a bottle of her favorite wine as an apology of sorts when heās been particularly stubborn
She does try to give him life advice to solve his relationship problems, but she respects that itās not easy to deviate from the path he was born into.
Bonus!! Madaraās daughters
Michi
Her little sister. They may not share any blood, but they share parents and thatās what matters
Sheās amazed that Michi got a backbone and pulled a power move marrying the next Hyuga head
She finds her energy levels when sheās excited to be a bit exhausting, but still endearing
They often talk to each other about random things and have shopping/lunch dates
She almost choked when she figured out Michi was in some weird love square
Madaraās eldest
Theyāre best friends
They have no real boundaries, so they know ALL of each otherās business
The have a king standing horror movie night that they both bring food and alcohol to
They promised to be each others maid of honors when they eventually find someone
They often team up to beg for things from Madara
Middle daughter
She doesnāt really know her as she lives overseas with her father and keeps to herself
From the few holidays sheās been around her, sheās been kind to Tsunade and invited her to gamble with her and Shisui

ššTHE GRAND FINALE!šš
A Little Party Never Killed Nobody... but it sure makes 'em scream! A link to the finale chapter of my Halloween-themed fic. (Warning: a dramatic death scene, a dance scene, a 1950s romper, adrenaline-fueled smooching, and a sandworm appear in this chapter.)
Gonna put my favorite scene down here for your viewing pleasure. It's a riot. š Dratted clone totally stole the show, and I absolutely love him.
CHAPTER 7: THE GRAND FINALE
Eyes wide, Lydia and Beetlejuice rushed to the edge of the roof and looked down. One of the windows has exploded outward, unleashing a torrent ofā¦ āIs that glow-in-the-dark elephant toothpaste?ā Beetlejuice asked, nonplussed. āI thought the witches were making moonshine!ā
Below them, they heard more cheering and cries ofĀ āMore!āĀ andĀ āAgain!āĀ
āThe fuck?ā Lydia asked, feeling a little out of body. This was aĀ lotĀ in a very short amount of time. Beetlejuice put a steadying arm around her waist, letting her lean on him, so she felt it when he stiffened. āWhat now?ā
āIt never rains but it pours,ā he groaned. āI just got a message from my clones. I put two on the road to watch for Chuck and Delia.ā
Lydia felt herself pale. āOh shit.ā
āDonāt panic,ā he told her. āTheyāre stallin' your parents, and theyāre two of my best. They were made for the stage."
~*~
āHold on, Little Bug!ā Delia cradled the blood-splattered clone in her arms as it spasmed in the stark illumination of the headlights. āStay with us!ā
Charles paced back and forth, pulling at his hair, frantic as his wife. āWhat do we do? What do we do? I canāt call an ambulance! BJ is going to go crazy when he hears I hit one of his clones!ā He groaned. āI thought those things couldnāt be hurt!ā
Gasping in indignation, Delia clutched the clone to her bosom. In her angel costume ātinsel halo and wings bobblingā it was a fitting image. āHeās not a thing!ā
āI know that! But we still canāt take him to the hospital, now can we?!ā
The blood-soaked clone jerked out of Deliaās hold, sitting up, reaching toward the moon with one dramatic hand as it clutched its heart with anotherĀ
āAh! No! Donāt go towards the light!ā Delia cried, her hands fluttering wildly. āCharles!ā
Charles rushed over, knocking his glowing devil horns askew in his haste. Together, they attempted to support the cloneās trembling body as it struggled for life. It stared into nothing, mouthing the word,Ā āRoseā¦budā¦āĀ Ā
The wail of a siren distracted them all from the death scene. A police car came flying up the road, lights spinning, but did manage to screech to a haltĀ when they saw the Deetz car. One of the policemen stuck their head out the window. āEverything alright, folks?ā
The clone in Deliaās arms glanced toward the back of the Deetz car. Another clone popped into view and gave a double thumbs up. In response, the one covered in blood abandoned its act and sprang to its feet. It gave the policemen and the Deetz a theatrical bow, then bounded into the surrounding foliage.Ā
Everyone stared after it, then Charles let out a long,Ā longĀ sigh and picked up his fallen devil horns. āYes, officer, everything is fine. Just some kids playing a not very funny prank.ā
The officer nodded, then the car sped away.Ā
Charles helped Delia to her feet, then they went back to their car. āWhat was that all about?ā Delia wondered, eyes still wide.Ā
āIām not sure, but Iām also sure that it wasnāt an accident,ā Charles said, and eased the car off the side of the road. The car jerked and groaned, sending their hearts into their throatsĀ again and causing Charles to hit the brakes hard for the second time that night. Immediately after, the car informed them that the back tires were low on pressure.Ā
The couple exchanged meaningful looks, then stared in the direction the police car had gone. It only just now occurred to them that there were very few houses in that direction.Ā āDefinitelyĀ not an accident,ā Charles said grimly. āI donāt know whatās going on, but I know that someone is going to be in aĀ lotĀ of trouble when we get home.ā

Top Hopper and Joyce moments
(Please note I made this before volume 2 dropped)
Boorish Mating Ritual
How can you not love this moment when Murray (audience stand in/conspiracy theorist/love doctor) when he calls out not only Jonathan and Nancy but Joyce and Hopper as well! It's the fact that he reads them soooo well. The reactions from Joyce and Hopper definitely gets them to shut up. Alexi is confused and amused by the fact that the two of them haven't slept together.
His reading of them is spot on. Bob is the nice guy. He's sweet and a bit boring but at least he's dependable. She doesn't want to fall into the same type of relationship she had with Lonnie. Hopper isn't abusive but he definitely has a temper and does not deal with emotions very well.
And Hopper feels emotions very deeply but is terrible at dealing/expressing them. He definitely loves Joyce but it's gun shy from his marriage and the grief of losing his daughter.
Also that line though "admit it. you're real curious to know what he's like in the sac." š He really did NOT hold back!
Joyce rescues Hopper from the upsidedown.
This is one of those moments that's rather small but so impactful if you're paying attention. It's the intensity of this scene that blows me away. One of the things that I love about Joyce is how relentless she is when it comes to rescuing the people that she loves. She's so determined to rescue him before something happens to him. She doesn't stop to tell Bob what's going on or even when he follows her into the tunnel.
She's a woman on a mission and she's going to save him. The moment comes when she sets him free and she cradles his face, looks into his eyes. Asks him if he's okay.
It's the fact that they completely lose themselves in this moment. Any longer they would have kissed. It's all highlighted by the fact that Bob is standing right next to them and is so enthralled by the UD that he completely misses their moment.
Joyce is all over Hopper! She's cradling his face, staring into his eyes and then she's touching his chest. Like...š Excuse me ma'am your boyfriend is right there!?
Also hopper finally realizes that Bob is there and is like oh hey. š
It's really this moment here that really makes me think that if Bob had survived then they would have eventually broken up. She would have been happy but there's something very deep between her and Hopper.
Hopper asks Joyce out but she's not ready
He's a single dad looking for advice and the best person he can ask is another single parent. She gives him really good advice but his dumb ass doesn't take it at first because talking about how you feel isn't something he's good at. I love that this moment is about him talking about how he feels about his daughters relationship. But it's also paralleled with his inability to express how he feels about Joyce.
He asks her out twice. But neither time does he actually call it a date. The first time he says let's talk more over dinner about how you can help me talk to the kids. The second time after she turns him down, he deliberately tells her that it's not a date. Even though it is and they both know it but don't want to acknowledge it.
I love the flirting in this scene. Her tagging him with her price gun. The fact that she's so comfortable with him physically is so interesting to me. ššš¤
She grabs his hand and that gives him the motivation to ask her out. They look on his face as he asks her. The look on his face when she moves away to talk to a customer.
"It's important to me that you feel safe."
Omg knock me over and hit me with all the feels. This moment... David harbour fukn brings it! I'll be honest, the intensity here. Knocked me over with how much this man loves her.
Joyce wants to start fresh with all of the terrible memories she feels like she's drowning in her grief. Between dealing with some strange ass monsters, a shady government coverup, her son going missing, her own mental health issues and how the town preserves her, and last but not least Bob dying a horrible death right in front of her. I don't blame her one single bit for wanting to leave.
This conversation is the closest we get to Hopper taking Joyce that he loves her. He gets so vulnerable with her here and that is something that I love about this relationship. Is that there is no one else that hopper will ever be that vulnerable with. There is no one that Joyce would trust more.
Him telling her that he understands her grief and has been right there with her with the batshit crazy stuff. There isn't a person that will understand all of that better than him. And how much he wants to keep her safe so that she'll stay in Hawkins. I just...
I think about how much the town thought how crazy Joyce was and just completely ignored her. Who did she have before hopper and her reconnect?
It's interesting this moment when he tells her that he knows she is moving. I feel like this is the reason why hopper asks her out even though I don't think he's ready. He wants her to change her mind. He doesn't want to lose her. He knows what he wants so if she opens up to him maybe she won't leave.
Joyce breaks that intensity by asking if Scott Clarke is the guy that understands what she's going through. The eye roll that hopper does. š„°š
Joyce is Hopper's miracle
Hopper's storyline this season has been so engaging. He goes through months of torture for his spirit to not break. He escapes only to be captured again and that's when he gives up. It's not until he's fighting the Demogorgon that he actually finds that drive to live again. So when he's faced with the prospect of fighting something else when that door opens he doesn't lay down and let whatever's coming through take him. He walks through that door with his fists up preparing for the worst.
Except that it's a miracle instead.
He's just so completely stunned that she's there. That she's real. That he's not imagining it. Like he does not react at first. He has to pull her head up to look in her eyes before he can really believe that it's her. That smile on his face when he finally gives into her embrace.
It's the fact that she flew to Alaska with 40 grand determined to save him. Never doubting that it's him. Then breaking into the worst Russian prison that's not even in a damn map. If that doesn't say love that I don't know what does. I love the fact that Joyce goes to any lengths to save the people that she loves!
Hopper! This woman broke into a Russian prison to rescue you. If you don't marry her then you're a bigger idiot than I thought. They love each other so much.
This moment is so beautifully done! There is so much chaos going on. This moment is slow'in down. It's the best climax and a long awaited reunion that finally happened after Joyce thought he was dead. This whole moment is just the two of them and the journey on their faces. No words, no dialogue. Just the relief on Joyce's face when she finally see's that hopper safe and sound. The shock on his face that she's really there. Her finally being able to breakdown and let out all of that emotion that she's been holding in. That little smile on his face when he can finally believe that she's really there.

I honestly think Daemon suffers from some form of insomina and Nettles herself is a pretty light sleeper since growing up on the streets means that you can't always be caught off gaurd if you risk sleeping in the cities. I like to think that before their relationship gets too serious they always catch each other wandering around late at night, the first time it happens Daemon was hastily making his way to Caraxes when he runs into Nettles and she got so startled she pulls a knife on him. From that point on they always keep a look out for each other and take nightly walks, sometimes it's silent, sometimes it isn't and sometimes something in between. Later on they start waiting for each other instead of wondering if they'll catch the other and it becomes a little routine. This is until they officiate their relationship and they find it easier to sleep in each other's arms š (but for "Old times" sake they'll still take a stroll if needed, except this time hand in hand and I definitely think that Daemon had once reached out for Nettles's hand before but she pulled away, said she's actually feeling sleepy and ran back to her roomsš)
Sorry if this was a little long š
It was not too long. It can never be too long šš½I picture that Daemon probably developed some sleeping problems after his mom died(he would often crawl into Viserys bed until older bro started to kick him out when he became too bigš¤£). With age and all the stuff heās seen, done, and been through, itās only gotten worse.
As you pointed out, Nettles is not used to having a safe place to lay her head for the night so she forced herself to become this vigilant night owl. Now with Daemon there beside her she knows heāll always watch over her and Daemon knows if he canāt sleep Netty is right there and willing to comfort him š
And as you also pointed out, they of course occasionally take nightly strolls to reminisce about the early days. Perhaps on one of them, Daemon says how he wished he hadnāt let her go that night she ran off and how he went to her door(but never knocked) a thousand times before she let him in. Nettles herself contemplated the same thing before she finally worked up the courage to give in to her heart's desireš„°
Our little insomniac psychopath and his sweet little Netty really did find a safe haven in each otherš„¹

So, I caved and bought the latest issue of Princess Magazine
Of course, I opted for a digital copy. I still have the old issues from a few years ago taking up spaceš Paying fucking $7 for ONE chapter in this thick fat magazineš
Anyways, Iāve been dealing with some personal issues, and I havenāt had much of a mind to enjoy anything else. But, I began to notice people talking about Henry VI on my twt timeline. I was like āWHAT IS GOING ON????ā Iām not really supposed to be doing this right now, but I needed to see what the hell went down in the latest Gaiden chapter.
Spoilers:
Oh, my sweet godā¦ I have so many mixed feelings!!! HENRY!!š
I havenāt thoroughly read the Gaiden chapters, much less this Margaret arc. Definitely have to buy the first volume when it comes out. But, itās just surprising to see Margaret freak out when in the main story, itās implied that she forced herself on Henry. Im probably missing something here.
Of course, Henryās face clouds over. Like, thereās this glaze in his eyes. Margaret is like āHenry?ā And then, Henry holds her against him, and starts kissing her. Margaret freaks out and is wondering how to stop Henry. She ends up knocking over this vase. And as it shatters on the floor, Henry snaps out of his stupor. He sees what heās done, and he starts having his mental trauma. Like, omg, Iāve sinned!! Iām so sorry, Margaret! Heās in tears, running away. Margaret looks down at herself, confused, like what the fuck just happened? She notices the marks on her wrist, too. Henry had a tight grip on her. (I wish heād pin me down like that tooā¦)
I can see what Aya-sensei is trying to portray, because Henry and Margaret need to have an heir. Im in the process of translating this scene to get a better understanding. But, at the same time, Iām feeling soā¦conflicted? Itās like this stark contrast of what was shown between Henry and Richard when they had their make-out scene in the main story. So loving, caring, tender, and sweet. But, between Henry and Margaret, he becomes this sex fiend in this spin off??? Maybe Iām just digging in too deep with this.š Let Henry be a lil kinky in bedš¤£ I wouldnāt mindš

911 rewatch
3x11
Battlefield boyfriends rescuing the guy dangling from a plane. Badass!!
fgikuvg When the mother of the 911 call asks, āAre you boys single?ā Eddie and Buck just turn and look at each other and just. Donāt answer. šš
The introduction of Albert. Iād honestly forgotten what season heād been introduced. š
Mkay, but does any member of the 118 not have parental issues? š Chimās dad justā¦ doesnāt care about him. ššš Thank goodness Chimney had a loving mother (who passed when he was 14), and later was taken in by the wonderful Lees.
Buck: āWhatās a bassoon?ā When I tell you both my husband and I BURST out laughing at this. And we both agreed right away that this was SUCH a Buck thing to say. š
I think this is the second time weāve seen Hen working heavy machinery with ease. Maāam, where did you get this training?? =3
Buck knowing that Eddie loves baseball. š And I think Ryan loves baseball in real life? =D
Yikessss, Chimney directing his hurt about his essentially absent father at Albert, who had a different flavor of not great treatment from the dad.
There it is!! Eddie telling Chimney, āThereās the family youāre born into, and the one you choose. The 118 is the family we choose.ā
āThis is Eddieās house, Iām not really a guest.ā Buck telling Maddie this and this speaks VOLUMES.
My husband thinks Maddie and Chimney are a good match. š
Maddie about her parents: āTheyāre not bad people, just bad parents.ā Hmmmm I wonder if the writers knew just yet what the Buckleyās backstory was gonna be at this point. I mean, as we know now, the Buckley parents are 500% fucking awful parents.
Ohhh Maddie officially meets the Leeās. Very sweet.
3x12
Buck didnāt knock the idea of being set up with Josh. Honestly one of a handful of signs that Buck isnāt straight. š³ļøāš
But I gotta say I donāt really enjoy, in any media or anywhere, this notion that if someone is single āfor a long timeā then itās somehow worrying or a bad thing? Setting aside the Buck of it all, I just really hate this societal narrative that being single at all is somehow sad or pitiful or some sort of failure.
Chris is smart and popular at his school, and Eddie is so proud. ššš
Eddie may not have told Buck about the street fighting until he probably had to, but at this point Iād say Eddie tells Buck everything. Like the fact that he chewed out Ana Flores for the whole skateboard thing at the school. Heh.
Eddie coming to Buck to talk about his dilemma with Chris and the skateboard. Hello, once again they are best friends in love. Seriously. Do we really ever see any other parents on the show going to their friends with kid issues like this? Rarely, I think.
Just so weāre clear, Ana was definitely being ableist with her horse metaphor speech. And thatās particularly sucky when we consider sheās a teacher at a school thatās supposed to specialize in aiding kids with disabilities and special needs. (T explains it a bit more in her post)
Love the scene of Eddie explaining to Chris that while yes he does have limitations because he has CP, he can still try things. And for now, until heās older, they can try new things together. Oh, and itās confirmed in this scene that Eddie does not have a green thumb with plants.
Iāll never be over the fact that clearly Buck helped Eddie build a specialized skateboard for Chris. Theyāre a family your honor. š„ŗ
3x13
Competent Buck with the bowling alley 911 call. š Followed by Eddie lovingly poking fun at Buck. (their teasing is flirting)
āTomorrow isnāt promised to anyone. So if you love her, tell her.ā Eddie says this to Chimney about Maddieā¦ā¦.I wonder when heāll take his own advice and tell Buck he loves him. āļø
Oh just a casual scene of Eddie asking Buck if he wants to grab lunch together after work. šš
The bond Michael and Bobby have is so special.
Congrats Maddie and Chimney for confessing your love. š
3x14
Honestly not a lot to say about this episode, though it is entertaining.
Idk if itās because Buck knew who was calling, but his āgo for Buckā when answering the phone was funny.
Maddie is honestly a badass.

Repcomm anon here! I'm back! Sorry to disappear for like two weeks, work has been nuts but it's good now so I'm finally getting to read more than a page and a half a day lol and oh my goodness!!!!!
I am a weeping mess over Darman and the covert ops clones! š š š My poor Darman is never going to forgive himself, is he? And the existential crisis that triggers just makes me want to hug him and tell him he doesn't have to fight anymore and he can go be happy with Etain and nothing has to hurt.
When we steal the clones and wrap them up in blankets and hugs, I'm going to have to learn to cook because the number of times this book mentions that the boys are always hungry is breaking my heart and I have decided to fix that.
Also I'm still very tentatively liking Vau... I really like how this book gives a little more of his perspective and shows that he and Kal aren't really true opposites. I think if they were, they wouldn't clash so much. Their issues with each other come from different interpretations of the same values. It's kind of fun to see them working together and there is something downright hilarious about their mutual antagonism š
NO ITS OKAY YOURE TOTALLY FINE i was actually wondering if i should post something to see if you were still around, i was getting worried cause i know your work knocked you out a while ago! D: not surprised that's what's happened again but i am very sad for you that's not any fun D: bUT
OH MY GOSH YES SAME HARD SAME yup yup yup, this is a pivotal moment for darman and it hurts ): can't say anything but like. there are things he does later on that are hard to reconcile with his sunny 'hard contact' self until you remember this scene and everything that comes after but anyways he has the roughest time it is NOT fair he deserves!! so much better!!! and i am with you i wish we could send him and etain away on a permanent vacation somewhere far, far away from the war ):
and!! cook nice things to eat for all the boys!!! we absolutely need to learn how to make big meals of the can-feed-a-family-of-fifty variety, i am so so SO with you. they go through enough as is, it is not fair they must also be plagued by a ridiculously high metabolism and only have nasty little cubes to satiate themselves with half the time. usually 'young man has an enormous appetite' is a funny trope but for the clones it's just. ow
and oh my heck. anon your analysis of vau's and kal's dynamic is the best thing, i am clapping frantically on the other side of the computer screen right now, that bit about 'different interpretations of the same values' is exactly it!!! you're so right, it is much easier to - well, if not get along with, at least ignore - people when they're your opposites, and vau and kal are definitely not complete opposites. i - oh man i'm having a hard time not spoiling things again skjflksdf but when you're finished with the series, there's a time travel fic by @winterinhimring called jat'na'cara in which she transplants kal and vau back to kamino when they first arrived, only after they've already been through all their Character Development, and if you're enjoying the two of them interacting, her fic is mainly just that :D 'tis glorious.
but anyways - i'm just really loving your thoughts, as usual, you phrase things well and it's always a bit of a lightbulb moment for me to go 'oh yeah, that's what i was thinking but didn't have words for it!!' and the lightbulb moment this time 'round was definitely in your last paragraph...and also the bit about the boys being hungry all the time ):

Anime only watchers and people who aren't caught up with the Manga, BEWARE... Cuz I'm about to discuss Spy X Family Mission 83... You have been warned...! š
[SPOILERS AHEAD FROM THIS POINT ON]
OH MY GOD ENDO...!! HOW DO YOU KEEP DOING IT!?!? šµ HOW DO YOU KEEP MAKING BANGER AFTER BANGER...!?!? šš
So, to start things off...:
TWILIGHT DID GET SHOT!! š±
So while he had the chance, Yuri kicked Twilight's gun out of his hands, and now they stand face to face...
While Twilight questions why he hesitated, Yuri (after calling Twilight "creepy" š) thinks THIS to himself...:
And with that, the two of them square off in AN AMAZING FIGHT!! š
After a few hits, Twilight grabs his belt and knocks Yuri with it (and somehow looking FINE AS HELL dress as Yuri...!! š³):
But, just like near the end of the "Epic Monster Battle" song from Phineas and Ferb:
"THE OTHER GUY...
...GETS UP AGAIN...!!"
So Twilight and Yuri keep having this back and forth, where Twilight knocks Yuri down, but he keeps getting back up...!! (Just like in the song... š) And then, we get one of my favorite parts of this chapter...:
LIKE SISTER, LIKE BROTHER...!! THE BRIAR SIBLINGS ARE JUST A DIFFERENT BREED YO!! š
(Also, I loved Twilight's comment about being raised by Yor...!! š¤£)
After a few more hits (and Twilight freaking out about Yuri getting back up so much one last time), Yuri is finally down for the count... And it's time for Twilight to finish the job:
But...:
He couldn't bring himself to do it, and just leaves Yuri in the sewer...
This scene isn't only about Twilight having conflicting feelings, but it also shows one of the ways that Twilight still sees Yor as... An innocent civilian... Which means killing Yuri would take away the only "real" family Yor has left... Especially when Operation Strix is over with... And I believe that Twilight just couldn't bring himself to do that to her...
...
Moving on, we catch back up with Agent Mustache and Nightfall, who decide to change the plan after Wheeler doesn't show at their location...!
Agent Mustache disguises himself as the SSS agent that Twilight (disguised as Wheeler) met up with at the park and as he starts heading out, we finally see where Wheeler's been at this whole time:
Wheeler went to where him and the other SSS agents were gonna meet up (which tells me that Twilight was definitely the Wheeler that talked to Yuri back in Mission 81...! š), but no one showed up. Then, Wheeler spots Gascoigne (the guy that Agent Mustache is disguised as) and heads out...!
After that, Agent Mustache tries to lure Wheeler out, but the plan doesn't seem to be working until Nightfall looks over the area and spots someone suspicious in the crowd... It was in fact Wheeler, and now Nightfall is on the hunt...!!
Gosh, I just love seeing Nightfall in action...!! She's just SO BADASS...!! š (When Twilight isn't around of course... š) The only thing that takes away from this badass image of Nightfall would be her earrings...
WHY DOES WISE HAVE TO PUT THEIR LOGO ON EVERYTHING, AND WHY DO THESE AGENTS WEAR THEM... EVEN. š IN. šDISGUISE...!?!? š
That fact will never not be funny to me...!! š¤
Anyway, Nightfall and the other agents chase after Wheeler and now have him cornered...:
And then, the chapter ends... And what an incredible chapter it was!! š Mission 83 is shaping up to be a new favorite of mine, as well as this arc thus far...!! šššššš
Honestly, I could probably gush about this chapter for longer, but I think I'll stop for now and just patiently wait for Mission 84...! ā°āā So until the next Mission... Take care and be safe out there y'all!! BYE!! šš

Janis & Casey
Janis: Alright
Janis: Jimmy said you might wanna walk some dogs for some extra cash?
Janis: Thought I better check he werenāt chatting shit
Casey: Did he, sounds like him
Casey: 1st Iāve heard, but Iāll do it if youāre asking
Janis: š He was meant to, mustāve forgot
Janis: anyway, it wonāt be a long-term thing but Iāve knackered my ankle so long enough itāll be worth doing

Janis: š I wouldnāt count on it, Burke had one of her infamous mental breakdowns so theyāll act like that was on us and not her mess of a life
Janis: but maybe theyāll have sorted a slightly more decent trip by the time youāre meant to go, dedicated as they areā¦
Janis: Ha, good stuff š
Casey: Iād have counted on that from her, like, sheās never not the one š„ awayĀ

Janis: get it, no oneās getting attached, barely them
Casey: werenāt that attached to my mum, just how he is, not owt personal to [whatever the girlfriendās actual name is because heās not calling them all Sharon like his brother does]
Janis: my mumās the same
Casey: mine werenāt, made her fuming
Janis: Probably fair, I dunno
Casey: not gonna get chance to meet her either
Janis: no
Janis: not a parent pleaser anyway
Casey: thatāll be why he likes you, not got the balls to not be himself
Janis: have to ask him
Casey: be a right laugh for you, that
Janis: him more like
Janis: psychotic moves
Casey: he answered any question youāve asked yet

Sims 4 Fontenot Legacy - Love Day Desires
As Love Day comes around again, Sigrid and Robin are able to slip out of the house for a few hours to have a movie date! They choose an action flick to hopefully keep them awake as they're always a little sleep-deprived being parents to twins š
But the two exit the film with different perspectives on things.
Sigrid: You really didn't like it?
Robin: Puh-lease, the effects were so bad, did you see that helicopter explosion? They obviously had budgeting problems. And the main actor? I'm supposed to believe this 50-something sim is leaping from one cliff to another without at least a little knee pain?
Sigrid: But that's the appeal! Seeing someone greater than ourselves!
Robin: Come on, I saw you enjoying that pool scene a little too much, I doubt it was just that.
Sigrid laughs.
Sigrid: You jealous?
Robin smirks.
Robin: Nah. I still look better than him.
Sigrid: That's something we both can agree on.
Robin and Sigrid find themselves on a bench, enjoying some quality time as they enjoy their early afternoon date out.
Sigrid: It's always so nice to be able to get out for a little bit. I love the girls, but parenthood is a lot.
Robin: I feel you. Although I can't help but miss them a little. Wonder what they're doing.
Sigrid: Alma's probably driving Sabrina and Aunt Scarlett crazy and Audrey's probably singing her little heart out somewhere.
Robin: You're probably right. It's almost comical how different they are.
Sigrid: Expect the gray hairs to be popping up sooner rather than later. I think Alma is really going to give us a run for our money.
Robin: Yeah, and she's so smart, too. She's going to try and drag Audrey into all her shenanigans.
Sigrid: We'll definitely need to sign her up for something to channel some of that energy. Maybe scouts?
Robin: Yeah! I think they'd both enjoy it a lot actually. And I'll even try my hand at building them a treehouse.
Sigrid starts getting excited.
Sigrid: Yeah, and maybe we can even get a dog, and then when they're big enough we can get them learning to ride a bike, and-
Robin watches with love as his partner's face seems to light up with prospects of the future. He, too, can imagine what life will be like with his three girls, and it's something that makes his heart swell with joy. Eventually, Sigrid catches herself, chuckling.
Sigrid: Ah, I'm getting ahead of myself.
Robin grins.
Robin: Don't apologize.
Robin scoots closer.
Robin: This is what we wanted. A life together. A family. It's all coming together and I couldn't be happier. There's no one else I'd rather do this with.
Sigrid: Ditto.
And later, Sabrina gets their turn to get out of the house when their Love Day Triple Date begins at Lakshmi's place!
Lakshmi: Don't worry, they're going to love you. You'll see, you'll fit right into the friend group no problem!
The duo hears a knock on the door.
Lakshmi: Oh, that's them!
Sabrina: Hey, thanks for having us over!
Lakshmi: Thanks for coming! You're our first guests at the apartment!
Sabrina: So, who's the mystery guy?
A friendly face steps forward.
Tabatha: That would be me, I suppose. Hi, I'm Tabatha.
Sabrina's eyes widen in surprise for a split second before their face breaks out in a smile. They happily shake her hand.
Sabrina: Ah, Tabatha! It's a pleasure to finally meet you! Laks told me good things!
Tabatha: I hope so! She's talked nonstop about you guys too. Welcome to our home.
Lakshmi's smile as she watches her girlfriend and one of her closest friends chat so nicely puts her at ease. She knows they'll probably mess with her later for keeping such a big secret from them, but it'll all be in good fun and she looks forward to it, oddly enough.
The rest of the group pile in, meeting Tabatha for the first time and catching up. In a short time, dinner is ready to be served and the group sits down for their meal.
Nyla: Wow, this might be the best stir fry I've ever had! Laks, you outdid yourself!
Lakshmi: Oh no, it was all Tabatha's doing! She wanted to go all out for you guys!
Alex: Well compliments to the chef! It's really nice to enjoy a hot meal with sims who won't throw food all over the floor.
Nyla: Yeah, it's been so long since we've gotten out of the house together without Roddy. I don't remember what this feeling is like!
Tabatha: Well we're happy to accommodate you! Maybe we'll have to make these triple dates a regular thing!
Beau: So, how did you two meet?
Lakshmi: Just by chance We met at a social event. I had just gotten out of her relationship with my old boyfriend so I wasn't really looking for something new, but we just clicked. The rest is really history.
Sabrina: That's really awesome, Laks. I'm glad you guys found each other.
Lakshmi: Yes, now the group's complete! And cheers to that!
All: Hear! Hear!
The rest of the dinner goes without a hitch and everyone has a great time. Eventually, Sabrina and Beau slip outside for a chat.
Sabrina: Thanks for agreeing to this.
Beau: You kidding? I love hanging out with the crew. Reminds me of the college days.
Sabrina: Yeah... simpler times. Well, for most of us. I think I was just as chaotic then as I am now.
Beau: Yeah, things have been chaotic, to say the least...
There's a lull in the conversation, awkwardness growing. Sabrina speaks up first.
Sabrina: Beau... I just want to say, I really am sorry. I've been a mess since the moment we met. My whole life, I've always felt like a little bit of an outcast. In school, in my family, everything. I've run from a lot of stuff and I've had my heart broken. I didn't want to do the same to you. This break... it was meant to be a healing time for both of us. At least, that's what I hoped it'd be.
Beau: I know... I'm sorry too. I was too harsh.
Sabrina: No no, I deserved it. We just started seeing each other again and all of a sudden I was running away, just like last time. I should've considered your feelings more.
Beau: I mean, maybe it's all circumstance; too much work or too little, not enough quality time... Maybe it doesn't mean we're not good together, but we have to put in more effort to make this work.
Sabrina: Yeah, maybe you're right.
Beau: The real question is, where do we go from here?
Sabrina: I want... I want to stop running. I want to see where this can go, but slowly. I think I moved too fast with things and that's why this problem keeps happening. I need to take things slow. So if you're willing, I'd like to start building back up.
Beau: That's all I've ever wanted with you.
Sabrina smiles.
Sabrina: Well, will you come to the restaurant's grand opening tomorrow? I would really use your support.
Beau: I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Sabrina: Awesome. The whole family will be there, Juno included. You can see the twins too. They've grown a lot.
Beau: Can't wait, especially getting to see my little guy again. Sabrina, I hope you know that I really do care about you. Both of you.
Sabrina: I know. Thanks.

Sherlolly Appreciation Week 2022, Day 6: āIām stressed, youāre dying.ā
@sherlollyappreciationweek
Well this one gutted me, guys. š š This is some definite angst, so be warned. I also really love how it came out though. It hurts, but itās heartwarming! šā¤ļøāš©¹
Youāre Dying
āFrank, would you please just sit and wait! I said sit!ā Molly loudly begged the jumpy lab after the kibble had spilled all over the kitchen floor when heād knocked it out of her hand as she attempted to fill his bowl.
The dog finally did as he was told with an accompanying little whine as Molly grabbed the broom and pan and started to clean up. She tried to breathe deep and ignore the incessant lump in her throat and weight on her chest that wouldnāt go away lately.
As she was dumping the kibble in the trash and scooping out some more, her husband came through the cottage door.
āHello,ā Sherlock greeted, hanging up his coat and hat. āLovely evening. I went by the shop on my walk and picked up some of that fresh bread you like.ā
āThanks,ā Molly replied quietly, turning away and starting to wash the vegetables sheād set in the sink.
āI spoke to John today. I told him we could come up to London this weekend.ā
She turned half around. āWhat? No, we were supposed to have a quiet weekend, because the children are coming the following week.ā
Sherlock shrugged. āPrecisely. So weāre free this weekend.ā
āThatās not the point, Sherlock!ā Molly shot back, aggressively continuing her washing. āThe point was to have a quiet weekend.ā
āBut you enjoy going back to Baker Street from time to time,ā he said, coming a little closer.
āI never said I didnāt.ā She sighed heavily. āI just- I donāt like a sudden change like this, and without consulting me. I mean, do I have a say in anything around here anymore?!ā
He hesitated for a moment. āMollyā¦you seem stressed.ā
She whirled around, tears escaping almost before she yelled her reply. āIām stressed, youāre dying!ā
Her vision blurred in an instant, and she leaned back against the counter, crumpling to the kitchen floor as she covered her face.
It had been a couple weeks since theyād gotten the official news from the doctors. Molly had walked out of the office with Sherlock that day, feeling like she was in the middle of a bad dream, like she was watching the scene from outside her own body. And then heād been so bloody calm. He said they should, ākeep living life normallyā and that āthis doesnāt need to change anything.ā And sheād tried to do as he wished since then, she really had. But clearly, sheād hit a wall.
āMolly, Molly,ā Sherlock whispered, joining her on the floor and wrapping his arms around her. āPlease, please donāt cry. This is exactly what I didnāt want.ā
āHow else am I supposed to be?ā she hiccuped.
āBut we still have time, we do. It could even be another year.ā
āAn entire lifetime wouldnāt have been enough! How the hell is a year supposed to make me feel better?!ā
āI know,ā Sherlock soothed. She could feel his lips against her hair. āI know.ā
They sat there, huddled together in silence for a few minutes before he spoke again.
āWe donāt have to go to London this weekend.ā
āNo, itās alright,ā she sniffled.
āI mean it. We should stay in and have a quiet weekend if thatās what you need. Weāll visit John after the children come next week.ā He paused. āAnd Iām sorry. I thought I was doing the right thing ignoring all of this and simply carrying on. I thought that might make it easier on you.ā
Molly clung to him a little tighter. āSilly man,ā she said through more tears. āIām the one you go to when youāre dying. This shouldnāt be any different.ā
He kissed her temple, and it nearly killed her right then and there when she heard his voice shake in reply.
āAnd will you save me this time as well?ā
She nodded against his chest. āAlways.ā

Soft Sunday: dads
Kuroo
Itās not unusual for you both to wake up in a disheveled mess on a Sunday. You couldnāt get your infant from cranky crying and your toddler was standing on kuroo lap and promptly informed you both that she peed. Right onto the comforter. Nevertheless, Kuroo laughs and leans over to give you a good morning kiss. Which you wouldnāt have any other way.
Osamu
Sometimes your son wakes up early and promptly goes to wakes up Osamu up(even if he only got 5 hrs of sleep last night) to fix breakfast. You wake up to delicious aromas and get your phone out to record your two 5 star chefs in the kitchen. You reward them both with kisses n cuddles after breakfast. Which turns into a family nap pile on the couch later.
Atsumu
Doesnāt matter how tired he is. He will do his best to read his lil princess favorite bedtime story. Except this time he falls asleep mid story. You come to check on them cause itās been awhile. Only to see both hubby and child knocked out. You take a picture and wrap a blanket over them both.
Sakusa
He only awkward around other peoples kids but not his own. His current favorite past time: finger painting with you and child. A lovely mess he doesnāt mind and often looks forward to do on his day off.
Mattsun
A dad that totally indulgent with his baby girl newest song, that she likes to listen to on repeat constantly. Baby shark, a tune he catches himself humming even at work. Only makes him smile because on sundays he gets to learn a new song his little girl wants to sing. Donāt be surprised if singing the latest baby song while dancing with you in the kitchen.
Haikyuu Father Soft Sunday Headcanons
(with Kuroo, Osamu, Atsumu, Sakusa, Mattsun)
send in your own soft sunday headcanons
Even as a teacher, I have experienced that dreadful feeling when a kid tells you they peed. š Still, you have to keep a positive attitude about it and if anyone can find the humor in a situation like that, it's Kuroo. The best part is how he's not afraid to get his hands dirty and share in the work of raising your munchkins. He'll take the toddler to go get cleaned up while you take the blankets to be washed. Teamwork makes the dreamwork in your family!
I will never complain to waking up to breakfast already being cooked! Seeing handsome Osamu bonding with his child over cooking though just makes it all the better. Osamu probably loves passing on his knowledge and it's great for the kid's self esteem to be trusted with helping him out. The pictures and videos you take will definitely be cherished and looked back on fondly!
The image of Atsumu coming home all exhausted from practice, but still finding the energy to sit by his kid's bedside to read them a story is so wholesome and heartwarming!!! Sometimes you find them both snuggled up and asleep, but sometimes you walk by and hear your child complaining. "Papa wake up, we're almost to the good part!" Atsumu will jerk awake and apologize genuinely because story time is one of his favorite parts of the day as well.
Sakusa will curl his lip and glare at other kids for sneezing, coughing, or having a dirty nose, but not with his own child. He'll get right in there with a tissue, wiping their nose, cleaning dirt off their face, or taking care of any other dirty job that comes along with raising a kid. He loves his family so much, the messes don't even really register in his mind because he just wants to take care of you and be there to help out in any way. Sometimes, like with the painting, he'll even get messy himself!
I'm obsessed with the thought of Mattsun humming kids songs at work because they're stuck in his head from listening to them over and over with his child. He's so shameless about it too. People will give him weird looks but he just shrugs it off. He just hopes the kid will continue to allow him to share in their interests even as they get older. It means a lot to him to be involved like that and have a close and trusting relationship.
