I've seen some discourse going on today with one of my other posts, so, very quickly:
The gif above is of David on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show yesterday, where Michael's name was brought up (of course) in reference to Staged. The screenshot beneath that is of a tweet from Anna the day after Michael appeared on Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6.
I've already talked about my thoughts on AL's tweet on this post, so I will try not to repeat what's been previously said. But to be clear, what is being compared between these things is not David's "Martin Sheen" comment vs. the one from the radio hosts. The comparison is between how David's and AL's comments on the same topic come across, especially from an optics perspective.
In both cases, the presenters are getting Michael's name wrong (Chris Evans deliberately; Radcliffe and Maconie seemingly by accident). David follows along with the joke that CE is making and adds to it, without it being at Michael's expense. You can see the sweet smile on his face and even hear how soft his voice gets and tell exactly where this comment is coming from/what he means by it.
With Anna's, we are looking at text instead of video, so right off the bat, I fully concede that this puts her at a disadvantage. In the case of Radcliffe/Maconie, the presenter clearly accidentally misspoke, so AL's tweet seems somewhat disproportionate in response. Michael also spent a good portion of his time on that radio show gushing to the hosts about what a huge fan of theirs he is, and how he plans to keep listening to their show. So it doesn't seem to make sense that he would be okay with Anna attacking people he admires on social media literally the day after he was on the show.
Michael is/will also soon again be employed by the BBC. Looking at it from that optics perspective, it comes across as very unprofessional for Anna to be passive-aggressively mouthing off at Michael's employer, because there are actual potential consequences that can come with that (although we would hope this wouldn't be the case). Am I saying that AL could actually harm Michael's reputation or job prospects? I'm genuinely not sure, but either way, why would she be okay with saying things online that would even have any chance of negatively affecting her own partner?
I would further add that it is not misogynistic to suggest someone should be accountable for the things they write online, or the potential consequences that come with it--whether that means costing Michael jobs, or straining his relationships with industry contacts, or just making him look bad. The only thing that is misogynistic is to say that being a woman means Anna can't be responsible for what she posts online. Because if she is going to be in this business and going for an acting career, then she has to be held to the same standards of professionalism as everyone else.
There are so many other things I could say, but I'm just going to urge folks to read the post I linked to above if you'd like to know more of my thoughts. Hopefully this clears things up...

☆☆☆
You release a moan at how the water touches your body and how the bubbles of heat tickle your breasts. You hum your beautiful melodies, your melodious voice calling out to all the little night lights that luminate your night bath. Your body glows and causes the pool you're in and anything you touch to glow. You continue to rub your smooth and soft skin when you hear a rustle in the bushes behind you. No one and absolutely no one is allowed in your forest inclosed pool. Not even the servants. Anyone who dares to trespass your territory by your guarantee will be banished. There's only one person allowed, he's the main reason why you have this place enclosed. It's the only place where you to can meet freely. And so you already know that it's him
"You shouldn't be here" you say with a smile. Legally he shouldn't be here but personally you're glad he's here.
"I'm to be married tomorrow"
You can hear the cling of his belt and the his trousers hit the floor. By the sound alone you feel yourself clench. You don't have to be a genius to know how he's feeling. "And that's why im here..." his husky voice speaks.
"...to give you a goodbye" you hum at his words and see the ripples caused by the entrance of his body into the water. And in a second he's standing in front of you, muscles and tattoos on show for you. You've always loved his tattoos especially the effect you had on them.
"This is no goodbye, jeon" your hand touches his as your fingers trace the muscles of his chest. When your hand traces his tattoos, each little inked pattern begins to light up. You loved that and so did he, telling by the smile on his face as he watches his tattoos light up. "I love when you do that"
"I love to do it" your hands leave his now fully glowing tattoos and he takes the moment to take your hand in his. He places a kiss on your hand eyes still on yours.
"love your hands and the power they have" kiss. "the power they have on me" kiss. "on my mind" kiss, "and on my heart"
"And wont say where else..but you know"
He winks at you making you blush. His hands trace your hips feeling your curves. It took him sometime to get used to the power your body emits, but he's like a pro now, knowing how to hold and handle your body. Its like your power has become used to his touch and hold. You certainly have. You give into his touch immediately moving your neck to allow his lips to make a move. and they do. They're soft and gentle against your skin. If you could you'd pull him even closer into your body by his waist.
Your voice gives in to his contact. You whine at each touch. "its like you've got a spell on me, y/n" he says against your skin.
"you dare call my name, jeon" you say seriously but you're everything but serious.
He chuckles "should I shy away from calling my love's name?" he stops his kisses to look into your bright eyes.
"a goddess's name"
"my wife's name" you scoff at that. His fingers tickle your waist knowing your follow up statement. "kookie I can't be your wife" just by the way you his name electricity is sent to his crotch.
"you can be if you just get the tattoo" you know what he means he's been telling you ever since he knew his love for you that you should get the tattoo, but its not that easy. He already has your name tattooed on his. Right on his heart, magically, and on his left chest peck, physically. You knew all you had to do in order to be married to jungkook is if you got the tattoo, but its hard for you. You're timed to be married to someone else tomorrow and your family would never allow a god like you to be married to a mortal like him,
That's what your father said when you brought the idea to him. He even threatened to banish the mortal who had caused you thoughts like that. And after that you pushed away all thoughts of introducing jungkook. You knew it was never fated for a mortal and a god to be intertwined, but you swear you and jungkook's names are written in gold side by side and hearts tied by the red strings of fate. you believe its true and so does he.
"you know its not that easy" you say and sigh. Jungkook knows how hard this is for you, its also hard for him. The thought of being banished is scary but the thought of having you taken away from him is terrifying. he never wants that to happen and he's not gonna let it, whether because of the man you're to marry or because of your father.
"if you just get my name tattooed, you won't be able to marry him" he tries to convince you. "jungkook" you whine and each time you call his name it physically pulls at his heart where you engraved your name.
"baby" he whines back and his whimpery tone causes your core to throb. "if you dont want to I underst-" he says completely honest.
"no, I want to. I want to so badly" your face falls after your statement.
"im just scared..for you" he knew you were. But you didn't need to, and even though he can't compete with the gods, he'd rather be banished than live a life where he can't be with you. And he always wants to show you that. You give in to the touch of his palm on your cheek as you hum feeling his warmth. He stares warmly into your eyes as they stare back, if he wasn't already used to it, he'd go blind from the stars that shine in your eyes. Literally.
"remember when I first met you?" he asks and you nod.
"you were so stupid, how could you cross the garden? You could've been killed" you slap his chest playfully. Your slaps no longer feel like thunder claps now that he's used to them.
"I could've but I didn't, and I never will" he shows you his cheeky grin.
"don't be so cocky"
"speaking of-" he says his eyes dropping to his crotch, your eyes follow his vision and you chuckle.
"fine I'll do it"
"do what? My cock?" you slap his arm.
"no... The tattoo. I'll do it" he looks at you to see if you're serious and you are, you genuinely want to.
"What? afraid you might have to live life without my cock?" you want to slap his arm but he catches it at your wrist and grins at you. You cheekily smirk back.
"Maybe" you shrug "but mostly afraid of living without you"
"Aaa. You're so cute my goddess" he squints his eyes and grabs his chest feigning to be in pain. You're cute little laughter brings him back.
"why don't we change the mood. It's our last day together"
"its not, you need to stop joking about that"
"I'm sorry" he pecks your lips. "let me apologize" he says his lips now by your ears and his hands hooking behind your thighs.
He lifts you and soon enough your core meets his.
  "Fuck, you feel so good " he curses
"don't curse around me jeon" you can barely say by the way he's rolling into you.
...
You sit drenched in gold and jews on a throne that costs more than the lives of the people sitting below you tripled. You never liked sitting in elevated positions and degrading the commers with the way you're towering over them. But your father always said you should do so to remind them of your power and glory. you were never one to feel validation from power and glory, it never impacted you in that manner. Its hard staring into the eyes of the happy crowd knowing the event that is going to occur but what makes it worse is staring into the eyes of your lover while your 'husband' is sat next to you in his own throne. And unlike you he definitely likes the power and glory.
Jungkook is sat straight in line with your vision and he doesn't move his eyes away from you, not even once. You on the other hand keeped on shying away from his burning gaze and when you do he whipsers your name and says how beautiful you look and how your husband-to-be is ugly. he knows when he whipsers your name you can't ignore him and you hear all he says, it's like a prayer. It reminds you of the first time you taught him how to reach you directly.
"Just whisper it gently and passionatly" you say legs swing froma tree as he pays close attention to you. "I don't like it when people yell or say it aggressively." he notes down your likes and dislikes. Mentally and physically.
"you dont have to carry a physical note book to note down, jeon" you say to the man next to you.
"I want to remember everything, so that even if old age catches me and I cant remember anything I can always look back and remember" he turns his face from his book to face you with his warm and cute doe eyes. You love his eyes and unlike him you're not able to hold contact with them, its like their power overpowers yours. He's eyes have and unspeakable power that have captured you since the first day.
"You wont forget, kookie" a nickname he gave you gave to call him. "and I'll never let old age catch you" he chuckles at that as he feels your hand on his cheek. In an event where you to ended up together forever, because of his humanly fate, he'd grow old and die. While you live forever with your everlasting immaculate beauty. it was a sad fact for him but he accepted it. Atleast he gets to live his entire life with you. Even though you Suggested making him immortal, he declined. He never wanted to be with you so that he could be immortal, some moratls would call him foolish for saying no but they don't understand, they don't understand what he feels. He's not here to use you he just to be with you for however long he can.
"Let me make you immortal" you say so passionately hoping he says yes this time. "take it as my gift to you for bringing such joy into my life"
There you go speaking gibberish again, he thinks "i don't need a gift for making you happy, you're a gift for me already" he says and his eyes do sorcery on you, enchanting you not to argue with what he's said.
"I love you and I want to spend this little humanly life I have with you, not arguing about me becoming immortal" you can't argue with him. And all you can do is place a passionate kiss onto his lips which he happily accepts.
Somewhere in jungkook he knew the reason why he didn't want to become immortal, was the fear of living forever with her father's wrath for taking his daughter.
"And now we are gonna have the gift ceremony" the voice of the officient draws you out of your wonders. The gift ceremony is where offerings are given to the couple and even though you're gods and their gifts are meaningless, in value of course but you still appreciate the fact that people give them to you even though you know they do it to get blessings. It's an important part of the process and even though you don't like it you have to do it.
You watch people in the queue present their offerings. Some to you and some to the man next to you, you bless them as they do so. You scoff at how the man next to you feeds off the offerings of the people, that's one of the reasons you love jungkook. He's a selfless man, he doesn't feed off the power and glory. You remember the time he saved a litte bird and set it back in it's nest after you fixed its broken wing. Even though he never had any magical powers he did his best to help others.
"you don't need magical powers to be a good person" he once said to you. And you always smile at the memory.
Speaking of smiling, you watch jungkook smile in the queue as he aproaches quickly. You keep your eyes on him as you wonder what gift he could possibly give you.
Soon enough its his turn and you watch as he bows for you, something you never wanted him to do, but he always insisted. He lays down his gift.
"I hope you like my gift and can bless me adequately" he says as though he didn't just fuck you blind yesterday. His head is bowed to you and his knees on the the golden floor. When you catch his gift you gasp.
Oh jeon what have you done, do you not care for your life. You say in your mind. And like he can hear your thoughts he whipsers your name and speaks. "you are my life"
The ashes of a golden phoenix, given to a goddess on her wedding day by her husband. A symbol for the new golden life that will rise from the ashes. It's a gift only given by gods cause no human and afford the golden ashes of a golden phoenix. This gift is only given once and shows the enternal union between the giver and the receiver, if the receiver accepts.
"what type of gift is this?" the man seated next to you exclaims angrily. "how dare you give my wife a gift I'm meant to give her? How can you afford the ashes of a golden phoenix" at this point people start to stare and whisper at the scene.
"He must be a thief" he accuses. You watch jungkook's body which is still bowed to you. You cant believe he actually risked his life like this. Stupid mortal. Jungkook chuckles like he isn't being yelled at by a god and at risk of death.
"You dare laugh?" he dares to strike but you stop him.
"Leave him" everyone stares at you with surpise.
"Why should I leave someone who dares to discredit my honour and glory"
Fuck your honour and glory, you dont deserve it. Jungkook is the one who deserves to be seated in that seat, you want to say but you can't instead you keep it in your heart.
"I say leave him cause he's just a foolish and stupid mortal who doesn't know what he's doing" you say and jungkook's head lifts to finally meet your eyes. There is truth in your statement but its not as harsh as you say it, and jungkook knows he can see it in your eyes that avoid his. He knows what he's doing.
"And its not like im going to accept it anyways, he probably stole it from the poor phoenix. I don't accept stolen gifts" you finally meet his eyes and he can hear lies you're telling.
The man seems to have relaxed by your reassurance. "Fine I wont punish him because of my wife's mercy"
You and jungkook gag at that internally. "But wont you bless me?" jungkook asks you confidently.
"The nerves, you dare ask her to bless you after the scene you have just caused you." he spits at jungkook. "its her duty t-"
"Fine ill bless you" you say stopping jungkook from ruining his chance at life. "What would you like me to bless you for" jungkook smiles at the opportunity you've given him
"I ask that fate may always be on me and my lover's side" your heart pulls at his request. What is jungkook doing, he could've taken this chance to free himself from you and the danger you carry for them. He could've gone in to find maiden who he would spend the rest of his life with and have children with, even if it hurts you its better for him. But he's so stubborm. He's a very attractive man no maiden would say no to him. So why doesn't he just go that route.
I don't want to go into road where you won't be.
"it is done" you say, and it surely is done.
You don't know how to feel, a part of you wishes jungkook could have just gone away to a better life, but then another part of you knows a better life is when you're with him.
Jungkook knows the consequences, the risk, the challenge. he knows it all and he still wants to be with you as he said nothing is going to stop him not even you and your attenpt to push him away by not accepting the gift. He didn't do all this for nothing, he's not going to let his efforts go into water. And lucky for him fate is on his side even though you don't want to accept it, worrying about what will happen.
"What do you mean his name won't write" your father asks the officiant his voice thunderous at the revelation. Everyone is in a panic and in a shock, your mother, your father and your never-gonna-be husband. Even the people are whispering and gossiping theories. But you arent surprised. Jungkook is not surprised. You knew this would happen you expected it.and your heartbeat grew strong as the moment drew closer amd Jungkook's smile grew wider. People were gonna know who you were fated with.
"His name cannot be written for fate has written another's name" the white bearded officiant speaks. Fate is never wrong and there are no take backs with fate. What fate decides is what's gonna be and even if you try to run from it fate will bring you back to what's destined for you, even if it takes a million more tries.
"Who's name?" your father asks angry from this embarrassment.
"It's a mortal" you can hear a thousand plus gasps in the hall "his name is jun-" it's like he's taking his time saying it on purpose, when he gives you a look you immediately turn to the crowd scared eyes meetng jungkook. You know what's gonna happen when they find out the name of the mortal and so before he says his name. You immediately scream.
"JUNGKOOK GO!" Your voice thunders in the hall. And he does. He goes, to where? he doesn't know but he knows you'll know and you'll find him.
Just as the crowd opens up so jungkook can run out your father screams for thunder. But jungkook is protected not by you, but by yor mother's power and the part of you that's in him.
You turn to your mother who rushes to grab you from the chaos. She takes you to the open room, where all official meeting are held.
"is he -" she knows what your worry is.
"He's gonna be perfectly fine" she comforts you. And you begin to weep and you're glad you have your mother's arms to fall into. She understands and knows your pain, she to was once in love with a mortal, unlucky for her fate was not on her side but love was, it wasn't enough and he died.
"where is it?" your father walks in yelling "where is the tattoo that bound you to that mortal" you shiver under your mother's hold as your father grabs your arm to pull you from your mother. Which he does. "I will srcap it myself" he says to you coldly and you don't expect more from him. "if I have to I will cut the limb its on... NOW WHERE IS IT?" he says starting to tear the sillk covering your body. You cant do much apart from scream and try and stop him.
"you cant disobey fate!" Your mother exclaims and he drops your hand now approaching your mother who doesn't coward from him.
"i don't care about fate, I am a god and I'm  more powerful than fate" he exclaims. "my word is fate"
"And after I scrap that tattoo off her, she'll be married to Min-ho" you sob even more your cries causing a storm outside. And whereever jungkook is , he knows by the way the thunder roars and the lighting strikes he can tell what you feel. Anger, fear and sadness. He wishes badly to be with you but your mother warned him he should go away for a while. And she promised to help him when the time is right.
"Where is it ?" he asks and you try to collect your thoughts.
Before he can ask you again you speak "my heart..." you speak finally saying  where it is.
"You let a mortal engrave on your heart?" he's pissed and you can tell but you aren’t afraid of him. All you're thinking about is jungkook. Is he okay?, is he safe, is he even alive? "a mortal?" he asks again. He knows a mortal does not contain enough power (or any at all) to engrave on a god's heart.
"He's not a mortal" both you and your father turn to your mother who speaks. "He's not a mortal" she repeats.
"What do you mean?" he asks and you too pay attention to her as you wonder what she means. "you made that idiot immortal" his anger is now moving to your mother, but she doesn't fear him.
"No I didn't, she did" your mother nods to you and you widen your eyes prepared to defend yourself.
"I never made him immortal" you defend when your father's eyes burn holes in you.
"Actually you did" your mother says and you wonder if your mother is on your side. But she is on your side. "gods don't engrave their names on mortals hearts and then nothinghappens after" she continues.
"whoever told you to engrave your name on his heart might not have told you, but by doing that you made him immortal."
And then you remember who you went to for help.
Hoseok, the cast out god himself; your uncle.
"You're so rebellious huh? Wanna be like me" he asks you mockingly when you explained everything to him.
"If I do end up like you atleast I'll have somewhere to go" you say and he chuckles at that. He's always told you that if you ever became rebellious you'd have a home with him and that still stands.
So hoseok helped you, he got jungkook's name engraved in his. He's the god of marriage and prosperity after all.
He's the one who told you to engrave on jungkook's heart, in any other situation he'd be worried for jungkook that he might die but the fact that jungkook and you we're fated (he doesn't know how and he still wonders) he knew instead of killing jungkook it'd make him immortal.
Unlike in his sister's case she had begged hoseok for the same thing that you are begging for, but only she was not fated to the mortal. And even if he told her what would have happened she still begged and he did it. And expectedly  the mortal died.
Your mother still feels guilt and curses her hope and how hopeful she was that maybe he would've survived.
You wonder if jungkook knows he's immortal and if he did know why didn't he tell you. Now you understand why jungkook's presence and gaze caused much pressure, no mortal could've had such an effect on you. And why he became immune to you gaze and touch.
Your heart relaxes knowing that your father can't kill jungkook, but that doesn't stop him from being cast out like hoseok.
Wherever jungkook is he grunts and groans at the feeling that pulls at his heart. He lays down as his tattoos flicker on-off like a bulb.
"Hurts to be away from your love right?" Hoseok asks giving him something to drink.
Jungkook nods. He knows who hoseok is, so it's not weird being in his presence but he doesn't know how he got here. But hoseok remembers he's sister's instructions.
"Watch for him and when you see him take him with you" she says the day of the wedding knowing what would unfold.  After hoseok told her what was going in with you, she knew what was going to unfold and she needed a plan. "He needs your help. Train him to embrace and use his power"
Hoseok's home was simple, warm and comforting, but he misses your presence.
"Well you're going to have to deal with it a little longer cause you won't be able to see her anytime soon"

illicit affairs (part two) — d. malfoy (draco's pov)
synopsis : Draco watched as Y/n slowly walked out of his life and wonders why their relationship is considered illicit.
warning/s : angst, fluff if you squint hard enough, profanity, written in first person, pureblood! reader (this isn't really important & would only be implied)
author's note : like promised, here is part two of illicit affairs 🥳 but i feel like i didn't write it properly 🥲 hopefully, you guys get the message i'm trying to get through!
<- part one | part three ->
Tumblr media
leave the perfume on the shelf
that you picked out just for him
sixth year
"why is it that you no longer wear your signature perfume? I used to love it" that was probably a dumb and unnecessary question to ask
but can you blame me? I just need the slightest reasons and I would gladly start a conversation with her. as crazy as it sounds, I'd most definitely take every opportunity to talk to her.
she was silent for a moment, luckily it was only us sitting by the fire, "there's absolutely no reason for me to wear it but i'm glad you loved it"
i hate this. i hate the awkward silence between me and her, i hate that she's distancing herself from me and i hate that i am pretty much aware of it, i hate not being able to tell her how much i adore her, i hate not being true to myself, i hate—
"i'll go to my dorms now, it was nice talking to you" she didn't wait for my response and continued to walk to her dormitory, i hate when she's formal, it's as if we weren't friends.
so you leave no trace behind
like you don't even exist
"good morning!" I say, rather awkwardly than I hoped for it to
"hello, Draco" she smiled and walked past me
I watched her retreating figure like I always do now that she tries to cut every interaction short.
I hate it.
I hate it when she acts as if nothing ever happened between us. I hate that she no longer wears her perfume. I hate that she's slowly starting to slip past my finger tips.
I fucking hate it.
because she was leaving my life, slowly. so slow that I could see her disappear bit by bit. like, she was packing her things to move else where.
from her presence, to her perfume. it's as if she never even existed with how carefully everything connecting to her disappeared from my life.
take the words for what they are
a dwindling, mercurial high
"you look gorgeous" I whispered, hoping that it was loud enough for y/n to hear, hoping that she knew that it was directed at her, not Astoria.
I felt guilty for dancing with my soon-to-be wife and wishing it was y/n I'm holding.
soon enough, when Harry and Y/n stopped dancing, I excused myself.
"I'll go out for a moment" not waiting for Astoria's reply, I started walking away. I walked behind Y/n, grazing my hand against her waist in the process, hoping that she gets the message.
and that's how we ended up in the restricted section of the library, where we spent the next hour hugging and exchanging kisses and i love you's while looking through the different books in the shelves.
i love you, looking back, I started to wonder whether or not she took my words seriously.
"impossible! he can't...actually mean it!"
but according to the conversation I overheard, she took it as a dwindling, mercurial high.
a drug that only worked
"we're okay, we'll figure this out together, but let's not think of that for now" my kisses were denied when she pushed my head away and sat up.
"we all know we can't do anything about it" she argued and pushed me off, "listen, baby, we shouldn't restrict ourselves from loving who we want and I definitely won't spend my life married to someone I don't love, so believe me, I'll do something about it"
"but you two are set for marriage—"
"but I love you, not her" she stayed silent and I smiled, "so, do you trust me?"
"yeah, of course, I do"
the first few hundred times
"do you not trust me?!"
"NO! I FUCKING DON'T!"
and that's the thing about illicit affairs
and clandestine meetings and stolen stares
illicit? our relationship is nowhere near illicit.
it's not wrong to love someone, what's wrong is to pretend to love someone.
if it were Astoria I'm in a relationship with, that's illicit. but y/n? why would our relationship be illicit? because I'm bound to marry someone I don't want to marry?
"you okay, mate?" only then did I realize that I have been gripping my knife so tightly as I watched as she laughed with Saint Potter.
"we know you've been...feeling bad since she ended things with you but—"
"I just don't understand! why now? why—"
"why not now, Draco? did you think she'd want to wait 'til your wedding before breaking it off?"
"there will be no wedding!"
"oh I wouldn't be so sure if I were you" Daphne says, "my mum wrote to me this morning and mentioned that they might start planning yours and Astoria's wedding, if I were you, I'd start getting into action"
I spent the rest of supper thinking and secretly staring at y/n, who seemed to be doing the same.
they show their truth one single time
"i love you"
but they lie, and they lie, and they lie
"do you love me, still?" I say, not too bothered by the students who I knew were eavesdropping in our conversation
"as a friend, yeah"
we both know she's lying. and I know she's aware of the fact that I know she's lying.
a million little times

short random 141 headcannons, silly/fluff ☄️
Tumblr media
ghost 💀;
absolutely hates coffee, avid tea drinker and refuses anything else. a lot of people assume that the cold-hearted killer, simon riley, would hate sugary coffee. but, truth be told, he has a huge sweet tooth that only price knows about, and has to keep him from eating too much.
growing up, he was quiet. a lot of people teased him for being so silent, including his friends, but only in a joking way. he's one of those kids that make friend's easily, just well-behaved in class to avoid stressing out his mother.
acts as if he hates johnny, but after that solo mission soap had, he grew more close to him. didn't like whenever john had to go on a mission without him in fear that he wouldn't return, gradually developed a fear of losing the team - something he'd always had, yet increased further after graves's betrayal.
has a high metabolism. he could eat way over his maintenance calories and not gain anything. he works out in his house during leave, usually eating quick takeaways or frozen meals, rolling his eyes whenever you bring up the state of the apartment. who cares, its not as if he's here most of the time.
soap 🧼;
absolutely loves getting drunk at a club with the team, has to be dragged home by price, him and gaz laughing maniacally at absolutely nothing.
he threw up on ghost afterwards.
because if his flirtatious personality, he's had many girlfriends. they never last long since he doesn't take the relationship's seriousness, still flirting with others as a joke, but offending whoever he's with at the time.
he isn't serious at all, which we've probably gathered from his personality. accidentally laughs at the wrong times, apologise profusely as they snarl at him. definitely gives off the wrong impression and gets embarrassed whenever price mentions it.
johnny knows what he's good at, he doesn't like being insulted by anyone, even as a joke. mention something about him not being as strong as ghost as he's pissed for the rest of the day. somewhat easily jealous, stemmed from when he was a rookie, lean with barely any muscle and constantly teased by others. (heard the last bit from another creator, but i can't remember the user for the life of me.)
gaz 🧢;
doesn't take alcohol very well, especially his hangovers. they're cruel, he has a pounding headache all day and throws up multiple times. laid in bed playing games the entire day, groaning as he feels himself burn up.
is terrified of bugs, absolutely hates spiders. doesn't give a fuck about the spider poem, will scream and crush them with his foot. probably came from when he was a child and got caught in a spiders web, cried to his mum.
definitely has a lot of sisters. they raised him well so he's very respectful in relationships and knows how to treat a lady right. when he was younger, his sister's would beg him to let them use makeup on him, agreeing and getting annoyed when he couldn't wash it off.
definitely youngest child energy.
price 🎣;
when he was a kid, he wanted to be something like a policeman or a firefighter, loves being in charge of stuff.
he's a true gentleman; will hold the door for his wife, giving her a bouquet of flowers whenever he can, kisses her all the time and compliments galore. he's a true fan of cuddling you from behind, sneaking up on you and kissing your neck, complimenting the meal you'd made.
took the 141 fishing, let's just say that it never happened again. it was all peaceful until johnny thought he a turtle, leaning over the lake and falling in. kyle laughed his ass off and simon sighed with disapproval, yet not surprised that he'd managed something like that. price lost a good fish trying to save him from drowning.
loves dogs, not small dogs (chihuahua hater), but big dogs. he loves german shepherds since he works with them, k9s. or a doberman, definitely owned a big dog when he was younger and has baby photos of him on it's back, only laswell saw them.

Can't Take You Seriously
First Lady of Private Garden Blurb
Tumblr media
AN: I saw a tweet about this and just had to do it lol
Synopsis: You are trying to have a serious conversation with your husband, but can't figure out why he's so distracted
Pairing: Husband!Jack Harlow x Wife!Reader
First Lady of Private Garden Masterlist 1
First Lady of Private Garden Masterlist 2
Please Do Not Repost My Content Anywhere
“Baby! Are you even listening to me?!” You exclaimed as you looked at your husband who seemed like he was focused on everything else but you.
“Of course I am!” Jack replied to you as you were standing in front of him.
“Then what did I just say?!”
“Umm, I forgot to do something that you asked.”
“And I asked you to do it last week! If I knew that this was going to take this long, I would have done it myself. You’ve been home for three weeks now from tour. I let you relax a little bit and take a moment for yourself, but did you suddenly forget that you’re a husband and a father too?”
“I’m not trying to argue with you, babe. Of course I didn’t forget!”
“Then why are we having this conversation for the third time this week? I’m about to drop you off on Maggie’s doorstep but now that she’s gotten rid of you, she probably doesn’t want you back.” You complained while crossing your arms and Jack still had that weird look on his face and didn’t even bother responding to your previous statement. 
“Jackman! What has you so distracted? Because you are literally hardly paying attention to anything that I’m saying. I could use a little more help here and I don’t know how many times that I have to say it. You decided to get me pregnant, did you not?”
All you felt was Jack move your wig that you were wearing slightly to the left, taking you aback and you were now the one looking confused.
“I literally cannot take you seriously while you’re yelling at me and your wig is crooked. Now it’s not, so we can continue.” Jack muttered while smoothing out the top and you were just looking at him in disbelief.
“Look, as much money as I spend on buying them for you, I need to make sure we’re getting my money’s worth and you’re wearing them right. Now, as you were saying?”
All you did was roll your eyes and Jack noticed that you now had a pout on your face.
“If you rolled your eyes at me any harder just now, they would have gotten stuck. So, now you’re quiet and don’t have anything to say?”
“You get on my last nerve.” You replied as you were trying your hardest not to laugh.
“I can’t have my wife out here looking like I don’t love her and take care of her! Can you imagine the headlines? And then he who shall not be named will take that as an opportunity to slide right in and take my place.”
“Not with him wearing those inspector gadget looking outfits.”
“I-... we’re going to leave that one alone.”
“But seriously, baby can you please go do what I asked?” You said as Jack pulled you into a hug and kissed your forehead.
“Yes, babe. I’m going right now and I’m sorry that I’ve just been in a mood lately. Being a husband and a parent doesn’t stop and I promise that I’m good now. Was just overwhelmed for a minute.”
“And you didn’t tell me this because? What did I tell you about that?”
“I know and I have no excuse. Thank you for always being here for me when I need you.”
“Always and forever.”
“And I’m always going to be here for you especially when your wig needs to be fixed.”
You pulled away from Jack to look up at him and gave him a blank stare.
“What?”
“I should have returned you with the receipt when I had the chance.” You muttered and Jack rolled his eyes.
“If the receipt you’re talking about is our marriage license, keep in mind that you were the one who got drunk and proceeded to almost set it on fire and would have if I didn’t throw you over my shoulder and Dani grabbed it from you.”
“Hmm, she was useful for some things I guess, but I don’t recall.”
“I guess not since the next morning you didn’t remember a single thing that happened, but it’s okay. I love my wife and her crooked wigs and all.” Jack leaned down to kiss the tip of your nose and you were trying to get away from him. 
“Jackman?”
“Uh oh. Government name was used.”
“Use your hand for a week.”
“That’s how you’re going to treat me after these hands fixed your wig for you? They can make you cum too if you let me.”
“JACKMAN THOMAS, CUT IT OUT!”

the premise of rain code band au
so you have context for whatever i end up drawing for it
so yakou started out in a band with yomi and friends (probably like. seth and dominic... no martina yet), he was the guitarist and yomi was the singer... they definitely dated though neither of them would ever admit to it now
but yomi of course is an asshole with a big ego that keeps getting worse, yakou puts up with it until he meets his (future) wife who convinces him to stand up for himself. yomi of course does not take it well, invites martina into the band and starts dating her instead. yakou gets ostracized by the rest of the group and quits the band, settles down, gets married.
she isn't a musician but she's still got a beautiful singing voice. she loves to sing along to his guitar playing. but eventually she dies (probably due to medical malpractice. fucking huesca) and yakou gets so depressed he doesn't touch his guitar again for years
meanwhile the whole world is obsessed with famous pop idol SHINIGAMI!!!!!! despite (or because of?) her abrasive personality she has tons of die-hard fans... but nobody knows anything about her personal life. she's a total mystery off the stage!
shinigami's success is really due to yuma and makoto (twins??? idk). makoto is her pr manager who handles her public image and her schedule; yuma is her creative director and songwriter, the genius behind her catchy tunes.
yuma is very competent at his job but is not enjoying his life. he feels immense responsibility for her success, and overworks himself so shinigami can keep topping the charts. he's not much fun to be around, and doesn't trust anyone else with his duties. shinigami and makoto conspire against him for his own sake, and fire him - or at least, send him on an indefinite leave. shinigami says his songs are shit. he takes her seriously.
yuma is moping down the streets when he meets yakou, also down on his luck... yakou takes pity on the kid and gives him a place to stay. he has no idea who yuma really is, and yuma doesn't tell him - mostly because of the shame of being fired. so yakou treats him like an unpaid intern.
somehow yuma ends up inspiring yakou to pick up his guitar again... which inspires yakou to put out a flyer for band auditions. he's not expecting any responses, but halara, desuhiko, fubuki, and vivia show up and he's impressed with all four of them!!! NOW THEY'RE A BAND!!!!
but... they start out as a cover band because they have no original songs. (desuhiko tries to write original songs. they are very bad.) yuma wants to help but he doesn't want to make himself a big deal... so he ends up sneakily slipping a song he's anonymously written under the studio door for yakou to find. the song is great... but the other band members can't seem to get the hang of it.
from then on the story would take more of an episodic nature, where yuma gets to know each of the band members' idiosyncrasies and learn how to write music (still anonymously) that fits their style. (i'd actually imagine the audience wouldn't know yuma's deal yet either, that'd be like... an end of the season reveal. i guess i'm imagining this as an anime huh) and in spending time with each of them he gets to actually befriend them as well and invigorate their passion for the band and willingness to work together. each time they'd get a cool new song that has a cool new solo for the focus character/instrument of each... episode? yeah
i'm going to post more about what those individual character based adventures will be later (feel free to supplement with your own ideas)
for now i am tired good night

I finished Battle City
So for my redemption arc, I have finished both Duelist Kingdom and Battle City.
I think I may have gotten worse.
I'll start by talking about voice acting and which one I prefer:
Bakurae: I like both Ted Lewis and Rica Matsumoto's performances. They both did amazing and I am so bi for their voices.
Marik: His goofy ass skeletor voice is not it. It's funny as hell, but he just sounds better in the sub.
Odion: I like both
Ishizu: I like both
Everyone else: could go either way
Characters:
Yugi didn't really do a lot at the start, and everything I want to say about him happens in his duel with Joey. Honestly, I don't like how in the anime he doesn't play much of a role.
Yami Yugi: this man... This man.
Téa: I love her. Honestly. She gave like zero friendship speeches this season and didn't really do much except help Yami find Ishizu.
Joey: I LOVE JOEY WHEELER.
Tristan: he's there. I don't like how he treats Serenity.
Serenity: I actually really like her. She's not the most realistic sister character, but I still like her.
Duke: my guy, leave the girl alone.
Marik: I can't take him seriously. I just can't. He sounds like Skeletor, his plans are stupid, he can barely duel, he's a coward, he dresses ugly, mother fucker uses Revival Jam, this happened
Tumblr media
How am I supposed to take him seriously?! Also, his backstory didn't do anything for me. Like, yeah what he went through was awful, but it just feels like an excuse. It felt like Ishizu and Odion were trying to justify Marik's behavior and say he did nothing wrong and should be forgiven. (Also, I saw a post about how Joey should have showed Marik sympathy. They blocked me when I said that was stupid)
Ishizu: she's such a great character. Her love for her siblings feels real, she's a snarky dork, her duel with Kaiba is fantastic, and she's pretty.
Odion: Am I supposed to feel bad for him? Not because he was horrifically abused I do feel bad about that, but with the way he was treating Marik... My guy was an enabler. Of course Marik is still evil under your care, you haven't done anything to help him be good. He just rolls over and lets Marik do what he wants because he doesn't want to betray his oath or something.
Mai: literally so cool. I'll actually get to talking about her in a bit.
Kaiba: iconic.
Mokuba: he takes his duel commissioner job so seriously it's adorable. He just pops up out of nowhere to catch people cheating and then Kaiba comes along to scare the cheater when they don't listen to Mokuba.
Regular Bakura: B-baby boy???
Tumblr media
Yami Bakura: I'd literally bend over for him. He can have all of my possessions. Anyway I feel like he went through some character assassination this season. He just doesn't seem like a threat, but I guess that's how abusers get ya because he stabs Regular Bakura.
Arkana: I've said it once and I'll say it again, I am a sap. I felt so bad for this guy. First his magic show goes wrong, then his face gets mangled, then his wife leaves him, then he gets indoctrinated into Marik's cult, then he almost dies by saw blade, then he actually dies.
Lumis and Umbra: these two are gay and dating.
Strings: there is nothing there.
Mako and Weevil are pretty much the same.
Espa Roba: he's a cheater.
Duels:
Bandit Keith vs Yugi Moto (Duel 1)
The first duel of the season introduces us to Marik. We learn that he wants the puzzle and has a magic rod that can mind control people.
This duel shows off that Yugi is not yet as good a duelist as Yami because this loser gets fucking cooked.
Yami Bakura shows up and breaks Keith free. This makes Marik a little annoyed.
Marik makes Keith break the puzzle.
Bakura comes in and helps Yugi fix it, but he puts a little piece of his soul in the puzzle because of reasons that are never explained.
Bakura leaves and Keith burns the building down.
Joey and Tristan save Keith and Yugi.
Yami Yugi vs Jonny Steps (Duel 2)
I am not talking about the duel you suckers. I'm talking about what happened before the duel!
Yami and Téa go on a date. During this date they go on wacky high jinks and Yami gets Light Force Sword.
After dueling Jonny Steps, they go to the museum and meet Ishizu. She tells them that Yami is actually an ancient Egyptian pharaoh and he needs to save the world by joining Kaiba's tournament and winning it. Also he needs three Egyptian God Cards.
Joey vs That one guy (duel 3)
Joey gets Exodiad and feels so bad that he doesn't go and visit his sister in the hospital.
He also lost his Red Eyes Black Dragon.
Tristan finds him on the beach and shows Yugi and Téa who he found (fuck you 4kids)
Kaiba vs the machine (duel 4)
OBELISK, FIST OF FATE!!!!!
Yami vs the one guy(duel 5)
Yami beats Exodia and wins back Joey's Red Eyes.
Joey declined it.
Joey vs Espa Roba (duel 6)
In this duel Joey faces an alleged psychic who had already defeated Rex Raptor.
Rex tries to help Joey for a little bit, but stops like half way through the duel.
During this duel, Espa is talking about the universe and how he can't lose and shit like that and Joey's just clowning on him.
Espa Roba has his brothers up on a building helping him win duels.
Joey figures this out.
Joey wins the duel.
Some guy in the audience says "Espa couldn't predict he'd be a loser", and I think that's funny.
Joey got a Jinzo!! The only good card he'll get this whole tournament.
Yami vs Arkana (duel 7)
Yami faces a magician who's all like "Aren't you SO sad that your precious Dark Magician is in the deck of another duelist???!"
Some bullshit happens, Dark Magician is sentient and saves Yami, Dark Magician Girl is summoned by Dark Magic Curtain, there's shadow blades, guillotine-chan is here, apparently there's no service in the tent.
Yami wins.
Arkana dies or something it was really unclear.
Joey vs Weevil Underwood (duel 8)
Joey got his deck and Duel Disk stolen by some mustache and had a card put In it.
Joey and Weevil duel ata fountain.
During this duel Weevil calls out to the Parasite Paracide card in Joey's deck and turns all of Joey's monsters into insect cards.
Weevil brings out Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth. Joey destroys it.
Weevil brings out his Insect Queen and talks about how much he wants to fuck it. Joey destroys the Insect Queen and wins it.
Joey gained the worst card of the season.
Yami and Kaiba vs some guys (duel 10)
Kaiba uses Lord of D and two Flute of Summoning Dragon to summon three dragons and then he summons Obelisk and then he wins the duel and takes some locator cards.
Joey Wheeler vs Mako (duel 11) ft. Marik falling for the Bakura sham.
Joey and Mako duel.
Joey is putting on the world's greatest show, and is told to stop because it's "embarrassing and taking to long"
Joey tries to use Parasite Paracide, but flip monsters haven't been invented yet.
MEANWHILE
Marik almost runs over Bakura.
BACK TO THE DUEL
Mako is telling a son story about his dad and how Legendary Fisherman is his dad and he loves his dad so he has to win the duel for his dad because he loves him ever so much.
MEANWHILE
Yami Bakura is talking mad shit and Marik's all like "This idiot has NO idea that to open the door to darkness he needs the Egyptian God Cards."
What if my guy was talking 'bout Kingdom Hearts?
BACK TO THE DUEL
Mako used a ritual card 🤮
Now Joey has to find the fisherman and attack.
Joey finds the fisherman and attacks. Mako gets sad. Loser deserved it tho for using rituals.
Joey uses some gambling cards and oh no
MEANWHILE
Bakura puts his scam into action and says he's a strong duelist (He's aight.)
Marik doesn't even fact check this and makes a deal with him.
The rod for a god card.
BACK TO THE DUEL
Joey uses Panther Warrior to wipe out the ritual card 🤮, and wins the duel.
Joey has gained Legendary Fisherman! Not as bad as the last card, but Joey you have a shitty deck how do you keep winning???
Seto and Yami vs Lumis and Umbra (duel 12)
THERE'S ANOTHER FUCKING RITUAL CARD!!!! AND IT'S NOT EVEN A GOOD ONE!
It's awful, it sucks, it's worthless, they should have just used level cards
This duel is not worth my time.
Yami and Seto win.
We interrupt this essay to talk about important stuff that happened out of duels:
Bakura got stabbed
Mokuba, Téa, and Joey got kidnapped
Tristan ran for an hour with a teenage girl on his back
Duke hit some guy with dice
Mai met Serenity
Joey got mind controlled
Téa girl mind controlled
Joey vs Yugi/Yami (duel 13)
I cried during this duel
Joey got mind controlled by Marik and is evil and dueling Yugi for the puzzle and they're also strapped to this anchor that's gonna drag them to the bottom of the ocean in an hour and oh my God this duel
Tumblr media
Téa's life is also being threatened but she's a badass who doesn't care.
Kaiba can't help because then Téa will die.
Joey was given all these rare cards and is using them against Yugi.
Yugi is so scared to attack because he doesn't wanna hurt Joey.
Yugi is so fucking sweet I love him so much.
Yami is just in the corner like "you good Yugi?" And "Oh no!!! Joey!!" I love them so much
Yugi ends up giving the puzzle to Joey so he can fight Marik better, he summons R d eyes black dragon to get through to him, this shit is just barely working I HATE THIS DUEL
Tumblr media
Marik is being a whiny little bitch ass loser because his mind control is failing
Joey breaks free after attacking Yugi then he uses the effect of some mirror card to attack himsefl
Joey and Yugi both plummet to the ocean, Yugi is saved by Joey and Joey is saved by serenity.
I LOVE JOEY WHEELER
Meanwhile at the hospital
Tumblr media
Yami Bakura vs Bonz (duel 14)
This episode is so fucking good. The animation, the duel, BONZ IS HERE
This duel starts off with Yami Bakura already being kinda annoyed. He just got jumped so it makes sense.
He summons a headless knight and it gets destroyed.
He destroys Bonz's cards.
Bonz fuses Medusa and crawling dragon to get... An elephant?
Then Bonz activates that one card that makes you lose life points for every card sent to the graveyard. Yami Bakura responded by fucking cheating and just tossing his hand to the graveyard.
Then he summons Earl of Demise and Bonz puts him in a cage.
Then Yami Bakura uses ectoplasmer and wipes out Bonz's life points and sends him to hell the Shadow Realm.
Tumblr media
Mai vs Jean Clawed Magnum (duel 19)
I am not talking about this duel other than
Joey x Mai supremacy
We love polarshipping
Stuff that happens before the finals
The gang is shocked at the idea of Regular Bakura dueling (rude)
Tristan can't flirt
The gang raid Joey's pantry
A bingo machine
Yami Bakura pretends to be Regular Bakura and messes with Joey by saying shit like "Cheerio" and "fellows"
Marik does stuff
Odion gets threatened a few times
Ishizu shows up late
Mai drinks censored wine
Yami Bakura vs Yami (duel 15)
This shit is so hype
It starts off with Yami Bakura being dog shit and summoning weak cards (it's for a plan), and Yami and the gang just ragging on him and insulting him.
Then Bakura summons Dark Necrofear, but he doesn't attack because he's scared that Yami's face down card is a trap (reasonable)
Dark Necrofear gets destroyed by a buffed Dark Magician Girl, but this was all part of the an because now Yami Bakura can use not only his Destiny Board (worst win strat ever), but he can also use Dark Sanctuary.
At this point in the duel, Yami Bakura is cooking. He is dominating.
He got out his Dark door, Yami can't attack more than once. He got his spirit redirecting attacks at Yami. He's cooking something delicious.
Then Yami special summons Dark Necrofear and now Yami Bakura can't use his strategy.
Unless he summons Jougen the Spiritualist!
Now the sanctuary is back and he can keep up with his shitty win strat.
Then Yami summons Slifer and he contemplates death.
Marik makes Odion walk over and go "I release Bakura from the spirit" and Bakura starts dying and at this point my shipping senses start going nuts.
This duel has become a love triangle between Regular Bakura, Yami Bakura, And Yami Yugi.
But that's not important.
Bakura doesn't like this strategy because it's for cowards and he's worried Yami will attack his host. (Reasonable. The Yami he knows probably would've)
Yami meanwhile doesn't wanna attack Regular Bakura because that's his friend.
No one has told this boy to just surrender.
Yami Bakura takes control of Regular Bakura again and tells Yami to attack him
Then Yugi tells Yami that he did that because he needs Bakura, not because he liked him. (This is untrue if I believe hard enough)
Regular Bakura is knocked out and the ring is gone.
Joey vs Odion (duel 16)
Joey is talking shit.
Odion keeps setting and passing
And oh what's this?? FLASHBACK
Odion was abandoned on the door step of Marik's and Ishizu's parents. He was raised by them but never truly accepted.
He wanted the tomb keeper initiation to become accepted, but he was adopted. So that didn't happen.
DUEL
Joey's losing
FLASHBACKS
Odion was Marik's best friend and watched their mother die immediately after Marik was born.
He vowed to protect Marik.
DUEL
Odion has trap monsters and Joey is surprised by this.
A massive scorpion monster thing is summoned and Joey says
"Are you really Marik?"
Then Marik has a temper tantrum and tells Odion to summon Ra. Odion summons Ra and fucking dies.
Then Joey dies.
FLASHBACK
Odion watched as Marik got his tomb keeper initiation and afterwards he did his own initiation.
DUEL
Odion tries to get up, but he doesn't.
MEANWHILE IN JOEY DREAMLAND
Joey is having a dream about his friends helping him get ready for a tournament and he can't get up.
DUEL
Joey gets up and wins the duel.
Marik is having a migraine and then becomes Yami Marik.
Mai vs Marik (duel whatever I don't wanna check)
Marik got a fashion upgrade and looks better!!
During this duel Kaiba is edging himself waiting for Ra to be summoned.
Marik makes the duel a shadow duel and starts to erase Mai's mind.
Mai loses one memory and almost gives up immediately.
Marik continues his mind games while Joey and the gang try to help Mai out.
Mai is having non of this.
Mai steals Ra
Marik is cooking
Mai summons Ra, but Marik broke a rule because Ra is written in a foreign language without a translation.
Mai loses because she can't summon Ra and Marik attacked her, Joey, and Yami.
Final duel, Kaiba vs Ishizu
Ishizu should have won
Kaiba and Ishizu keep milling each other's deck.
Ishizu has a plan though. She saw it in her visions
Kaiba defys those visions tho and instead of summoning Obelisk, he summons the Blue Eyes White Dragon and wipes out Ishizu.
I forgot to talk about the Yami vs Strings duel
Marik is a pussy so he uses some murderer to duel
During this duel Marik is using cards like Revival Jam and Jam Breeding Machine.
He uses them to summon Slifer.
Yami is trapped in a cage.
Yami uses Revival Jam against Marik and uses it to cause Marik to lose by DECK OUT.
DECK OUT
That's embarrassing.
So yeah, I think this journey of redemption is becoming a journey of derailment instead. Wish me luck and health.

Sorry if you've already answered this before but I'm new to the fandom and I found your account through your web-comic and I was wondering what is it about Gavin that you like so much? Why is he one of your favourite characters in dbh? (I've noticed that he isn't much of a fan-favourite in this fandom 😔)
This'll be a long post, but you asked (...and I'll happily answer!) I'll add some descriptions for context. At the top of my head, I can think of 21 reasons why I like his canon equivalent.
1. He's charismatic
Gav gives off an energy that makes it easy to hang onto his every word. I can quote all his lines by heart and I like listening to Neil Newbon (in this specific role) talk. I remember some of Kamski's lines as well -- also mo-capped/voice acted by Newbon -- but Kamski doesn't have nearly as much charisma as Gav does.
2. He's expressive
Ppl who 'talk with their hands' are more charismatic. Gav is all over the place in the break room if you stick around. Hand gestures capture people's attention as they emphasize what is being said.
3. He doesn't think androids are alive (...so in his eyes, the way he treats them isn't wrong)
"Could always try roughin' it up a little. After all... it's not human." - Gavin Reed, The Interrogation
That means he wouldn't rough up a human suspect. This alone justifies his unpleasant attitude towards androids. Hank -- who treated Connor way worse than Gav ever did -- changed his mind. Nothing says Gav can't do the same.
If Alexa suddenly said she was alive, the vast majority wouldn't take it seriously (if any at all.)
4. He's sarcastic
"Congratulations on last night, very impressive." - Gavin Reed, Waiting For Hank...
5. He has dark humor
Tumblr media
6. He looks down on people that pay for s*x
Quote above. You don't call someone a "pervert" if you agree with their actions. The Eden Club, in particular, is immoral AF... bc those androids don't have a choice. Gav doesn't care about them being androids, but he still looks down on the guy who paid money to get laid, and I applaud Gav for that. Especially when said guy also had a wife and kids.
7. He has valid concerns about androids taking jobs
Anyone who says differently is either in denial, uninformed, or never had a job they were scared to get fired from. There's already been an uproar about ChatGPT and that's nothing compared to how advanced Detroit: Become Human androids are. The unemployment rate in this game is 37% -- higher than it was during the Great Depression and C*VID -- and androids are the main cause.
I've seen a lot of ppl ask this question:
Q: Why not just buy an android and have them do your job for you, then? You get the money anyway bc it's your android!
A: Bc, believe it or not, the vast majority of men want to work. This is a strange concept to grasp for a lot of ppl. I admire Gav for being one of those men who wants to do it themselves. Letting someone else do your job is taking the easy way out.
8. He's a hard worker
Gallery: "...Ruthlessly ambitious, Reed will do anything to advance his career, even if it means treading on other peoples’ toes."
9. He's ambitious
See the quote above.
10. He doesn't sleep well
This isn't just a headcanon. He has literal bags under his eyes. Just knowing he doesn't sleep well already has me asking, "why?" It's interesting.
11. He puts his feet on the table
After Connor interacts with him in the break room, Gav will go to his desk and do this. I'll go into detail about why this contributes to my liking his character in the very last point.
12. He calls Hank out on his alcoholism
As much as most of us love Hank, he's not in a good space mentally. Showing up drunk/hungover to work should not be tolerated. It not only puts coworkers, but also civilians, at risk. Hank should be in therapy instead of working at the DPD until he gets his life sorted out.
13. He calls Fowler out for giving Hank special treatment
"You won't get away with it this time." - Gavin Reed, The Interrogation (after Hank pulls a literal gun on a human coworker AKA Gav)
So Gav has brought it up to Fowler before and is about to do it again. Ties into the point above. What Hank does -- like assaulting a literal FBI agent -- shouldn't be tolerated.
14. He's a control freak
I gravitate towards ppl and characters who take charge. Those who like being in control and know what they're doing. I'm a control freak myself, but I'd prefer to let someone else take the reins as long as I agree with their methods. I like it when ppl know what they want and act on it. Gav does both.
15. He's protective of his coworkers
I was unsure whether or not to add this as I guess it can be seen as a subjective theory and not an objective fact.
Gav only ever steps in with the gun in The Interrogation when Con uses aggressive force on Chris Miller by tearing him away from the deviant. Con did this after disobeying Gav 3 times. So yeah. Gav is justified for stepping in. Hank, on the other hand, isn't justified for pulling a gun on a human coworker. I see this scene as Gav protecting Chris from Con who is showing signs of deviancy.
16. He can't wink
Endearing.
17. He pouts a lot
Again, endearing.
18. He swears like a sneezing kitten
Same as the two points above.
19. He doesn't like Connor
I don't like Con, either. Yeah. We exist. Personality types like Con's "let's be friends" attitude and constant positivity pisses me off. Before anyone comments that the player decides Con's personality... no. Only to an extent. There are several instances where the player has no say whatsoever. Some of Con's pre-determined responses annoy me.
20. He has great fashion
Big fan of leather jackets.
21. I like him bc I'm a narcissist at times
He's essentially the male equivalent of me to the T. I'm only an asshole internally, though. We love (or hate) characters we relate to. I relate to every single point except 17 and 18 on this list.
There you go :)
His OOC fanon equivalent has a huge fanbase -- especially on Twitter/X and Tumblr turning him into a blushing teenage girl -- but it seems like I'm the only person who can't stand that OOC portrayal of him. That said, I adore his canon equivalent in all his asshole glory.

Hi Im in soft hours. 🥰But I think about how it would be when K would hold his son in his arms for the first time. (I hope you don't mind the question but I'm getting my period soon and I always have a baby fever).🥰 I also believe that K will be such a good father. He is so amazing. He is also so sweet to the younger members and he has also been taking care of taki for 3 years. 🥰🤩😘💖💗💝
omgggg K's hands would be like a waterfall- just like his eyes. He'll be squirming and squeaking the entire time from his utter adoration for his son. A cute little kid version of K sleeping soundly in his huge hands, his brain system would literally shut down from his overflowing love and excitement for his son.
(gurl- idk how like this period thing is fucking acting like a bluetooth device because I'm on my period right now ToT)
Yesss K will literally be the best father ever. He would do ANYTHING for his little kiddo and his wife ofc. Mans would be using his duality to the maximum too. Would be the kids' inspirational idol papa but also the caring, clingy, lovey dovey stay-at-home dad. Would literally cry out a whole river whenever he gets calls from his members or managers to come to the company for practise or when he must go on tours or concerts; poor papa K don't wanna leave his mini-versions. He'd just wanna cling to them all day, let them do whatever and play along with each and every one of their little tricks, with a sweet honey-like smile on his face.
Over-protective asfff over his kiddos too. Son or daughter, doesn't matter, mans would come running to school with an intimitading ass face as soon as he hears that one of his kids get into a fight or got bullied. Would scare the living shit out of the bullies. And would always stand strong and take his kids side - even if they're at fault? yes. Mans would blame it on the other children with a shameless proud sassy face.
Kids definitely get their sassiness from their dad. Ever since early age, you could pick up obvious signs of your kids doing the 'iconic K sassy walk' and the sassy faces all copy pasted from their dad. You would just laugh it off- not a single complain until these little cuties decide to use this against you in a scolding section.
"Kota! Tell me exactly why your grades are low!", an eye-roll from the boy and his sister sticking out her tongue at you, backing her brother up. These kids, learnt wayyyy too much from their dad. You'd have them kneeling on the balcony while you start your iconic asian mom lecture section and that's when your husband comes running in. This mans can be strict with ANYONE ELSE except his own kids. Would take their side even against you and would spoil them to oblivion. "Wifeyyy! It's not his fault that he can't handle all the hard homeworks.", the kids regaining the brightening lights on their faces as they stood proud behind their protective dad. Oh but don't think their little ganging-up on you would work. You're a well-trained asian mom for a good reason.
The next thing you know, K is kneeling on the floor in front of you along with the two other children who are now side-eyeing him in disappointment almost saying - "seriously dad- thought we were getting out of trouble" - "Well, since it's SOOO HARD for poor Kota, why don't YOU do HIS homework huh, Mr Koga?" And thats how now K is gripping at his hair, scratching his forehead as he tried to figure out the answers of little Kota's homeworks. Oh and the kids? Oh no you wouldn't have let them off that easily. They're kneeling beside their dad, reading out their textbooks aloud for who knows how many times.
Addicted with squishing cheeks. It just so happens that K's mini-versions have the squishiest, puffiest cheeks in the world and OMG this man just would not stop with the squishing and squeezing. 24/7 his hands are on those cheeks.

A Married Man
Cw // infidelity, cursing, brief alluisons to torture, pregnancy
A/N : Probably Ooc Price, idk. I feel it's a tad bit realistic, but he is also very mean. also he has a wife. Also the reader is kinda mean, too
I've been scared before.
Scared when hostages don’t comply or respond to torture tactics the way they should. Nervous when I get hit enough times that my body screams. I get frantic when witnesses repeat the same grueling, unnecessary details completely unrelated to my questions. Wasted time was the difference between life and death.
I get scared, sure. But right now . . . I'm terrified.
I've taken five tests, all with the same result. I spent most of my midnight begging and praying that this was all a dream that I couldn't have messed up this bad.
But I woke up this morning in the same nightmare.
I've moved through my day roboticly, but now comes the moment my day has been leading up to. I knocked on my Captains door, the name plate taunting me, serving to remind me that I knew what I was getting into.
"Captain, I need to talk to you." I try to keep all emotion out of my voice.
He pauses his work and looks up at me, making me avert my eyes. "Talk about what exactly?"
"I'm so sorry, John, " As soon as the words leave my mouth, tears start swelling in my eyes. "I really thought we were being careful."
His brow furrows with confusion. "What happened?"
I had all day to prepare what to say but right now everything feels as if it's spilling out of a boiling pot. "I know you didn't tell your wife, and we were keeping it a secret, and I thought I was on birth control, but..." my throat burns and before I could say anything else I feel tears run down my face.
He stares at me his eyes burning into my very soul searching for the unspoken. "You got pregnant!?"
"I'm so sorry John. What are we- What do we tell your wife?
Silence
Silence so thick you can cut through it.
Then he stands taking of his hat and holding it in his hands. He lools at me as if he is in physical pain from this conversation.
"Are you sure that's my child?"
Wait.
What
Am I sure that's his- "Are you seriously calling me a whore John? Fuck, I knew we shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't have slept with you."
"You’re missing my point, love." He stares down at me. "There might be another reason for you being pregnant other than me. I’m not saying you’re a ‘hoe’, I’m saying I know you’re seeing other people. And you’re telling me that the child is mine?"
His face relaxes. This isn't how i imagine this to go maybe its my hormones, or maybe it's his stupid face, but everything about his demeanor is infuriating me. I stand up. "John, I've been sleeping with you and only you for five months now. I cut everyone else off because I wanted to I be with you. "
I feel restless as if the anxiety and anger running through my body can't let me sit still, so I start pacing his office. "I should have fucked gaz instead."
He remains unmoved by my rant. He stays cold, and actually stares me down, his expression slowly growing to anger.
"Do not mention Gaz in that manner."
"Why not? With the way he looks at me, I'm sure he would've jumped at the chance. But no, I had to sleep with the married guy." I throw my hands up in exasperated anger.
He steps towards me
"Do not think for even a second that he looks at you that way." He lowers his voice. "Nor is he the kind to sleep with an irresponsible woman."
Irresponsible woman??
Irre- "Irresponsible woman?!? Did you forget you came to me first? You slept with the irresponsible woman?"
He raises his eyebrows, letting a small smile yug at his lips
"I have not forgotten. But I know for a fact, I wasn’t the one trying to seduce a married, older man into an irresponsible relationship. That was you. A young woman who had no idea what she was doing. So, yes, you are the irresponsible one."
I look him in eyes and scoff at his audacity.
"But that's the thing, John, you are older than me and married, not to mention you're my CO. Im sure the higher-ups and your wife would love to hear how Captain Price was in an affair with his subordinate and knocked her up."
He laughs, this time a full-on, hard-as-nails laugh
"You’re threatening to blackmail me? That’s hilarious."
He takes a hearty step towards me.
"Your little plan of threatening me with my career and reputation won’t work, love. Because you know what they’ll do if you tell everybody about our affair? They’ll kick your ass to the curb, and you’ll be thrown out of the regiment."
I don't know how to explain the emotion I feel. Anger. Disbelief. Sadness.
I'm done.
" I can't believe I loved you, John. I don't know why I thought you were any different." I turn toward the door to leave this conversation in this room to never leave again.
"Don't worry about the baby or me because you'll never have to see us again."
Before I can leave the room, he puts his hat on and stands in front of the door.
"Love, where do you think you’re going?" His voice is still cold.
I try to cool my face into one of indifference.
"Captain, you don't even think the child is yours. This entire conversation shows that we aren't mature enough to raise a baby together."
I try to take a steay breath, but it comes out shaky. "I'm going to get a discharge and leave. Maybe I'll find a nice house where I can raise the baby and start a new job. "
I look him in the eyes, trying to show the meaning behind my words
"I'm not going to force you to be there for them... Captain."
Still, that isn't enough to make him move
"You’re not leaving, love. You’re right. I don’t know if the child is mine. But," His face softens, and his voice turns gentle. "I can’t imagine not being a part of this child’s life. And as your CO, love, I won’t allow you to leave without my say so."
"So what, Captain, what do you want me to do? Because we don't live in this perfect world where people don't ask questions."
" Listen, you can't be a part of my child's life and still live yours."
I take a step towards the door and, in turn him "Let me leave John"
He steps closer to me, his face just inches away from mine
"And why can’t I raise my child while still living my life, hm? What do you think I do at home? Stare at a wall?" He leans in even closer, brushing my nose with his, and whispers: "No, love. I can’t let you leave just yet."
"I think you go home to your wife, and I'm not sure she'll be too happy with you coming home with a kid." I whisper.
A small smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth.
"And if, hypothetically, I was to divorce her, would that be a more better answer to your worries?"

Random assortment of ATLA AU ideas I'm probably not gonna do anything with but needed to get out there:
AU where Zuko was never banished from the FN due to the people of the FN revolting when they found out. Word of the Agni Kai and the War Meeting had made it's way across the nation and the majority were in favor of Zuko. So much that they were planning a mutiny. Annoyed, but seeing a way out, Ozai orders a tower be made far away from Caldera. Once it's made, Zuko would live there. If they win the war, he'll forgive his son and welcome him back. The tower is built and Zuko is dumped in there. Only one way in and out and he can't open it. The other option is literally barred. Blah blah blah, we get into book 2, Suki has been caught by Azula. She's on her way to prison, not sure where she'll end up. And she's surprised when she's told she'll be keeping the prince company. Because, what prince? And she's put into Zuko's tower. In short, Zuki prison roommates AU but it's not in the Boiling Rock.
No one understands how it happened. Why it happened. They prayed to the moon. So, why did the sun respond and save their daughter? She prayed to the sun. She prayed and begged for him to answer. The one who answered her was the moon. Sun Spirit Yue and Moon Spirit Zuko AU. Bonus if both can bend the element of the spirit that blessed them (firebender Yue and waterbender Zuko).
Zuku joins the Gaang early and poses as Sokka's wife the entire time (fiancee if we go as early as book 1 and up until they get to Ba Sing Se in book 2. Zuko: I must find my darling husband!! I'm so worried about him... Katara: Seriously, what do you see in that guy? Zuko: He makes me laugh.)
The SWT has collapsed. Men have gone to war, and the remaining women, children and elders have split between finding sanctuary in either Kyoshi Island or the NWT OR living a new life at sea as pirates. Sokka becomes well known as a decent pirate. He won't raid someone just to raid them. They have to have something he wants. And right now, his attention was in the rather pretty boy (he assumed it was a boy anyways) onboard Zhao's ship. He'd usually go for maps and plans and even rations when he raided a ship, but this time he's thinking of getting a person. Huh, kidnapping...well there's a first for everything. (Basic summary, the SWT doesn't exist, Sokka is now a pirate, and yes so are Katara and Kanna. Their biggest enemy personally is Zhao, who's hunting down the Avatar (whom they're hiding in their ship). Sokka eventually notices Zuko, who was given to Zhao rather than banished. Blah blah blah, it's easy to tell Zuko hates Zhao, hopefully he won't mind a small kidnapping if it means getting off Zhao's ship (he does but honestly he'd rather be on Sokka's ship, it's a lot cleaner and the avatar seems nice, the bison is a bonus.))
Despite his attempts, Zuko is unable to join Team Avatar. Not able to turn to either side, he runs off and goes into hiding. While on the run, he reunites with Jin and they end up having a heart to heart. Things are confessed but in the end they get together and go on the run together. They open up a secret camp for people like them, on the run from the war. They heal the injured as best as they can and work together to make food that can last a few days. The first time things turn sour is when Jet enters the camp. He's hostile and picking fights until he's given the choice to cool his attitude or leave and hope someone else takes pity on him. Things settle down and he gets close with Jin and Zuko. More time passes by and they're eventually approached by Team Avatar, Aang and Toph both seem pleasantly surprised to see Zuko, but Sokka, Katara and Suki (whom the two water siblings freed from prison alongside their dad) weren't, Hakoda doesn't say anything. Like with Jet, they were given a choice, cool the attitude or leave.
Growing up, Azula always trailed after her mother and older brother. Despite being their father's favorite, Azula preferred their company. Call her overprotective, but like Uncle Iroh and their cousin Lu Ten have told her over and over, they were dragons. And dragons hoard and protect what's theirs. Ursa and Zuko are Azula's hoard, and she wouldn't let anyone hurt them. So, when Ursa disappears, when Zuko gets burned and banished, she decides enough is enough. The war against the other nations has ended, it was time for Civil War. And once she won, she'd bring her real family back. Ozai touched her hoard, it was about time he learned why you should never touch something belonging to a dragon.
Is this how adoption works now?? He just, finds kids lost at sea, abandoned in random places, having run away? Hakoda's not sure why it happened. It started when he found a young girl adrift on a small boat. Her white hair hidden with scarves and her hood. Yue, Princess of the NWT. Ranaway upon learning she was engaged to someone who wouldn't care for her or her people. Then came ex-Prince Zuko, who had been abandoned on an island they stopped to camp at. He'd been living there for about 3 years, maybe longer, he's unsure. But hey, what's another kid? He joins their crew... Fuck his earlier words, he doesn't need more kids. But Hakoda just sighs as a small girl (Toph) follows Zuko aboard. Seriously, is THIS how adoption works now? How's he gonna explain this to Sokka and Katara and his mother? They'll accept Yue no doubt, Toph might also be easy, but Zuko? Fuck, he needs a drink- BATO STOP LAUGHING!!
She didn't want it to end the way it did. She hated what had happened to him. What Ozai did to him while she was gone. What their mother did when she abandoned them. She remembered when Zuko was happy. When he'd smile at her and tell her he'd love her. She remembered the expectations put on him, the extra lessons and how little he was allowed to sleep. She was...jealous for so long. Both of their fire were unique, hers a brilliant blue and his a kaleidoscope of colors. It wasn't fair he was treated special... He wasn't treated special. And she was blind to that. She was blind and the truth was falling apart right in front of her. She hated this. She hated what this war had done to her family. What it did to her. What it did to Zuko. And she hated that she just stood there as her brother was carted off somewhere, ignoring his gaze as he was taken away. She hates everything... (sorta a roleswap between Azula and Zuko but not really?? Both are strong benders, Zuko just peaked later on but not too much later. As the oldest, a lot of pressure was placed on Zuko and thus Ozai's attention was on him as well. Azula, upset with this, did everything she could to upstage him. The two have a good relationship, but Ozai favoring Zuko didn't help and so Azula left to capture the Avatar, stating she wanted a challenge and to prove herself. She got a ship, and set sail with Iroh at her side. Azula eventually joins to Avatar's side and branded a traitor alongside her uncle. Zuko is tasked at bringing her home and despite how much he'd rather join her, Ozai's grip on him is too strong (not in the sense he's loyal to his father, but in the sense that he's too scared to leave). We eventually get to Agni Kai during Sozin's Comet and Azula comes out victorious, but it feels like an empty win because she knows Zuko had lost long ago. This was just the fight that broke him (also yes, Azula becomes the Firelord).

Gilded Age, 02x06, Warning Shots. My thoughts...
Turner can go fuck herself! Seriously her revenge doesn't go the way she wants it to, so her next is to steal Bertha box at Met. By getting some getting some old money people to go to new opera house she has some cojones. Hoe I don't think so! I love that George set everything right again, don't mess with his wife! Good man! Can someone, but Bertha please expose Turner for who she really is, a two bit hoe lady's maid that tryed pathetically to get her bosses husband to sleep with her. She'll be dropped out of high society on her ear!
The word frenemies should of been invented to describe Bertha and Mrs. Astor's "friendship". I swear the moment Gladys said 'I thought you were friends' to Bertha, frenemies started flashing in my head in neon red lol.
Omg Marian, I felt so horrible for her put on spot like that in front of everyone. He didn't even court her or anything! Oscar at least kissed the girl he's trying to convince. He's gay for crying out loud, can't imagine kissing a woman high on list of things to do but he did damn it! Marian and Dashiell haven't even done that, let alone gone a true date or anything. I do like him, it just feels like he's jump the gun alot. It seems like he's looking more for a mother for his daughter than an actual wife. Which isn't cool dude! I do like how Marian got around saying yes, that was creative.
How cruel to do that to Aunt Ada and Luke. It's just evil! I just bust into tears. She finally finds her person only to have this happen. Aunt Ada has the purest of hearts she and Luke don't deserve this!! All I know is there better be a goddamn miracle happen and he lives!!! When Aunt Ada comes down stairs and Aunt Agnes is waiting for her just being her big sister. I couldn't take it, I started sobbing right along with Aunt Ada. Because not matter what Aunt Agnes said or does she loves her little sister.
I really don't like what their doing with Peggy and her boss! This week I'm liking she's all get away you're married. Just hope it stays that way. Because other wise it's just going to come off as badly for both characters. I really don't like her boss! Beyond he's already married! All I know is if I heard the line my wife doesn't understand me like you do. I might scream!
Ok I'm so confused what Oscar is up with the investment. I am glad he moved in direction that might lead to something more then friendship. I do like them together.
Can George please be a good man to his workers. He's such a good man in so many other respects. When he was in the head of labor union house it was easy to see he cared. Especially the fact that son worked at the plant or that the children didn't go school or have one to go to. He's not like the guy that works for him. George isn't a heartless, unfeeling, subhuman who would of gladly killed all those men and not even blinked an eye. So I'm hoping we'll see George do the right by working with the labor union to come with deal that works with for both sides. Also see build a school, George Russell is a fictional character after all why not make him like say Milton Hershey who really champion for his workers, build them homes, schools, a hospital and everything else in Hershey, Pennsylvania so they could work more easily at his plant. Because it's like we can him wanting do that. He stop those soldiers from shooting on the striking workers, where the other dude would of been happy with countless die and wouldn't of cared, he'd all been price of doing business he's just subhuman!
I think it so amazing what Jack did with clock! I definitely don't think he shouldn't give up. Love how everyone in the house expects one believe in him and gave him the money to go to patton office.
Can we take a minute to talk about Armstrong. They show us how horrible her mother is ok I can get that, but there are people with horrible parents that don't become that. I'm living proof of that! So what else is her deal!?! Because she's one dimensional at this point, even after them showing us her mother it's still impossible to have any empathy or simple care for her. She's just the most bitter, jaded, miserable character of the whole series. If anyone would be entitled to feel that way it would be Peggy's, her baby son died but she's nothing like that. So I hope they give us more on Armstrong character. Because I'm so tried of her being a buzz kill, shit Aunt Agnes isn't that bad!! When she said that stuff when Jack's patton get approved, truthfully I just really wanted to slap her. Because being cruel and horrible is a choice, it's abusive. It's not because of how she was raised with her mother if that was case she's be like to everyone. She's not, if she was like that with say Aunt Agnes her ass would of been fired by now. She's selective on who she's abusive too.
I'm over Mr. McAllister playing both side! I feel he needs to be loyal to one side now. I of course I want it to Bertha's. personally find Mrs. Astor too arrogant, overblown, way too many people been kissing her ass for so long that thinks she just be a bitch to everyone. Or that her personality because outside her daughter we haven't seen her be truly nice to anyway not ever Mr. McAllister. It's she walks in a room she just expects them all just to kiss her ass. Where Bertha generally nice to people, especially her staff. Which is one of things I do really love about her. I do wish be less shape with Gladys. She keep Gladys in a golden box than snap at her when she doesn't understand something. It's like Bertha you only have yourself to blame if Gladys doesn't understand these things. Chill woman! Gladys looked so hurt by Bertha words and tone. I understand that feeling very well. I would really love to see a scene where Gladys stands up to Bertha when she snaps at her and Bertha realize what she's doing. And they have a moment where Bertha said she's going to stop doing that. Because we have seen it in her Bertha way she does truly love both her children deeply.
I do have to say I want more Bertha in last two episodes she's been seriously lacking. Or at least it felt lacking to me. I know there are bunch of other story lines going on and need they need equal attention but I still want more Bertha!!

Hi Princess Carry ^^
If interacting with the other Anons is illegal well what is the law going to do? Arrest me? (But I'm a silly little guy, they can't do that) Anyway clothing my posts don't take much time. I color the beginning of the paragraph and then write :)
Anyway Brainworm dump but actually it's just a fanfic I'm too lazy to write in full (some Aoinene as a treat)
Demon summoning (& college au too b/c why not) :>
Nene hears from her friend Aoi that you can summon a demon and get wishes. Nene being rather straightforward wants a boyfriend. Aoi gives her a ritual page that supposedly works.
She excitedly goes home to do the ritual, not really expecting anything to happen. Supposedly, it was a ritual of practically marriage. If nothing happened, Nene wouldn't tell a soul of her desperation. If it did work, she would get a demon boyfriend.
However, she doesn't realize it, but she did mess up the pronunciation of the demon's name. She says her wish for a partner out loud and a cloud of smoke covers the room.
In the ritual circle, instead of a handsome demon boy like the ones she read in novels is... AOI?! She seems equally as confused as she sits there. A demon tail, horns, sharp nails, and unfamiliar jewelry adorning her. Nene is flustered beyond belief.
Aoi likes Nene. She's an amusing human and so open as well. It makes Aoi mildly protective of her. When Nene came to her whining to her about wanting a boyfriend again, she conceded and finally gave her something. Not a dangerous ritual that would bound Nene's soul to anything.
Or bound anything dangerous to her, but a friend that would go along with Nene's whims and not hurt her. The demon would be bound to Nene, and be unable to harm her. It was something Aoi specifically made for Nene.
SHE WASN'T EXPECTING HER TO BE THE ONE BOUND! Not that she hated the idea. She actually felt rather happy with the outcome. Nene couldn't get tricked by another demon if Aoi was around.
Nene was her wife. It was a flimsy word for demons. Brides and grooms were not something demons took very seriously. Yet... Aoi's heart was beating a little quickly at the thought.
When they get to classes the next day, Aoi is stuck to Nene a bit more than usual. No one really notices, but Nene does (and one other person). However, Aoi refuses to move or explain. Nene just gives up trying to pry answers from Aoi and continue to classes. (She doesn't notice the missing ritual page from her bag)
Teru had snatched the page in curiousity mostly. A demoness stuck to a human like glue was interesting enough. However, the demoness seemed more attached to Nene recently, which sparked his curiousity. And after seeing Nene frantically put away the page after she accidentally dropped it, he knew what to look at first.
It was easy to pluck it off her, but it was hard to bring attention to himself. The demoness seemed rather on alert around him. She could tell he was an exorcist, which gave an interesting challenge Teru was willing to complete.
Seeing the ritual page, he was confused how on earth a demon would agree to these terms. It was beyond unfair to the demon. A partnership that the demon had to listen to the human's will completely, disappear if the summoner was in a committed relationship with someone else, and they wouldn't even get a soul out of it.
How was that fair? Although... The page was worn, but not destroyed. It was a one-time-use ritual. It looked like if someone had tried to use it but failed somewhere. It was usable, and Teru had a dangerous amount of curiosity.
He preforms the ritual correctly, the page withering away in his hand. He sit on a chair as he watches the smoke form a humanoid shape. Teru nearly trips on his feet by how quickly he got up once he saw the demon. A clock demon?! How did anyone convince a time demon to such an unfair contract?!
The demon stares at Teru with an unreadable expression and eventually the demon kneels. "I am your husband, my lord. I will do my best to serve you."
HUSBAND?! Teru was panicking internally now, but kept his expression calm. He needed to figure out what the hell was going on.
Akane was under the impression, the human Aoi wanted him to serve was a woman. Did he mishear her? Well, Akane wasn't one to complain, and the man was rather handsome even by demon standards. The arrangement could be worse.
Also this human seemed competent, he wouldn't mind seeing what sort of mischief he would like Akane to aid him with. And well, judging by the energy of the man's soul, he was powerful too. Maybe this arrangement would turn out to be something interesting.
Interesting things are rather hard to come across once you've seen a few centuries. And this human is proving to be worthy of Akane's peaked attention.
Akane helps Teru with missions. And turns out Akane isn't very fond of other inhuman creatures. Seeing most as beneath him or too brutish. Teru is rather interested about it, since he seemed just fine with him even though demons typically considered humans beneath them. How curious.
(eventually both couples kiss and stuff)
— Colorcoding Anon (idk I might write a full fic about this later. But I am curious what people would do with this concept tho. I'm eepy. I might write later)
colour-coding anon this is literally my everything, you should definitely write a fic about this

TW: Forced regression, forced affection, panic attack, secrets, threatening to end someone’s life, fighting, LMK if I should add.   ‘Scattered 'cross my family line I'm so good at telling lies That came from my mother's side Told a million to survive Scattered 'cross my family line God, I have my father's eyes But my sister's when I cry I can run, but I can't hide From my family line.’ ~Family Line, Conan Gray
~~~Millie~~~
Millie dried a few tears that poured out her eyes without permission.
'Wrathians don't cry.' She told herself internally, the words her parents taught her.
She doesn't have time for tears or worrying, she needs to find Moxxie and bring him back...
She never should have left him. Why did she leave him? She knew he was having a hard time.
She was a terrible wife to him, he deserves better than this.
"Mill's?" Blitzø asks.
Millie turned to Blitzø who took her hand.
"Hey, we'll find him." He promised.
"I know." She says. "I just miss him."
Blitzø nods. "Yeah, I get that."
"I'm also worried, I hate not knowing where he is!" She says angrily.
Blitzø's eyebrows raised. "Right, especially since he's...you know?"
"What?" Millie asks, not understanding what he's implying.
"Uh...nothing." Blitzø answers, moving his hand away from her, his face seemed confused, or just deep in thought.
"Blitzø, is there something you want to tell me?" Millie asks.
Blitzø rolls his eyes. "No, is there anything you want to tell me?" He asks back.
Millie gave him a confusing look, what the fuck is wrong with him?
"You know what, nevermind. What makes you think Striker might have him?" Blitzø asks.
Honestly, Millie is glad he changed subjects, she was seriously questioning his sanity for a moment. Millie shrugs. "I don't know, I'm just hoping to find something from a small hunch. I don't know who else would take him." Millie reasons. "Plus, I know wrath. If they have him there, I'll be able to find him."
Blitzø coughs. "Yeah, alright. Fair enough, I guess." He crosses his arms and turns away, so she does the same.
'What if crimson did kill him?' She suddenly thought. 'What if we're too late already?'
A sharp pain stabs Millie's chest at that horrible thought.
She shakes her head. No! She can't think like that. She has to keep faith, she has to stay tough, she can't lose hope in this. She can't loose him!
Moxxie was safe, he's safe.
~~~Moxxie & Alessio~~~
Moxxie went upstairs with Alessio as Crimson instructed.
He's overwhelmed by the events of today, and at the brink of a mental breakdown, he just didn't feel like arguing with his father right now.
Alessio walked into the bathroom to start the water, so he looked in his old dresser for clothes, but instead he found something that seemed impossible...
It was his lucky cast from when he was eight and broke his arm.
He smiles at that memory, he was eight at the time, and he only let one person sign it, and then he kept it here for good luck.
Why didn't Crimson throw it out?
"Moxxie?" Alessio asks, noticing how long he was taking.
"I can't believe he didn't throw this out." Moxxie says, holding up the cast.
The shark walks over to him and looks at the object. "It meant something to you, didn't it?" Alessio asks.
Moxxie looked up at the shark, knowing better. "Was that his understanding or yours?" He asks.
"Your father is trying, Moxxie. He's not a monster, you know." Alessio tries to reason with him.
It's not what he asked, but Moxxie got his answer. "Yeah, I figured." He says, rolling his eyes and putting the cast back in the drawer.
"Moxxie, your Father is trying to-"
"I'm not a kid anymore, Alessio! I know what he's trying to do!" Moxxie yells. "And I know what you're trying to do!"
"Sure you do." Alessio says. "You're an adult, after all, I'm sure you have all the answers by now."
Moxxie sighs. "Why do you do this? Why do you insist on helping him ruin my life? Why do you try and gaslight me into thinking more of him and less of myself? I should have killed you when I had the chance!" Moxxie says.
Alessio gave the Imp a warning look. "Moxxie..."
"I had everything going for me, I had a life! A family! And now?" Moxxie's breathing increased. He couldn't control it-
Shit-
Not again!
"Moxxie, calm down." Alessio says sternly. "Breathe..."
But he couldn't. He couldn't breathe! He was stuck here with a maniac, trapped! He's never going to see Millie again. He's never going to-
Alessio tries to touch Moxxie's hand, but Moxxie pushes him away, hissing and backing up into a corner.
"Moxxie." Alessio gets the Imp's attention then whispers: "Quiet time." Causing Moxxie to regress instantly.
Alessio hates to force Moxxie to regress, but it'll be easier to calm him down if he's not physically fighting to get away from him.
Moxxie immediately curled up into himself and cried, he doesn't understand what's going on, or why he was shaking. He was feeling all the emotions, all the effects of the attack without the actual context, which Al understood is very scary for him.
Alessio gently picks him up and places him in his lap, wrapping his arms around Moxxie. "Shh, it's okay. I'm here, Moxxie."
Moxxie's breathing was still violent and fast, as if fighting for oxygen, fighting for the calm he needed as tears continue to pour down his face.
Alessio slowly rocks him back and forth and sings: "Forget your troubles, come on, get happy. Gotta chase all the cares away. Shout Hallelujah, come on, get happy, get ready for the Judgment Day."
Moxxie stopped crying, and looked up at the shark, calmer now that he knows he's safe with Alessio.
"The sun is shining, come on, get happy, the Lord is waiting to take your hand; shout Hallelujah, come on, get happy. We're going to the promised land."
Moxxie relaxes even more and snuggles up to Alessio, then his eyes became heavy, overcome with exhaustion.
"There we go, that's my good boy." Alessio says, kissing the top of Moxxie's head.
"It's okay, let's get you cleaned up, little one." Alessio says, picking the little one up and taking him to the bathroom to give him a quick bath.
Moxxie always had panic attacks and meltdowns like this when he was younger, so Alessio knew how to take care of him.
~~~Later, Crimson~~~
After Moxxie was cleaned and dressed, Alessio carried him downstairs for dinner.
"Well well, what do we have here?" Crimson asks.
"We were having some trouble, so I had no choice but to make him regress." Alessio explains, handing Moxxie to Crimson who had his arms out for the Imp.
Crimson gestures for Alessio to sit down at the chair on his right, so he sits. "Probably needed it, hm?" He asks Moxxie.
Moxxie blinks slowly and rests his head on Crimson's shoulder. "Moxxie?" Crimson asks. "Yes, daddy?" Moxxie asks back. "I asked you a question."  Moxxie's eyes widened, what question had Crimson asked? "M'sorry." Moxxie says. 
Crimson pets Moxxie's head. "It's alright. You've been through a lot today. You probably just need some sleep." Crimson kisses Moxxie's head. "It's alright, we'll talk tomorrow. For now, let's just have a little dinner, then you can go to bed and rest. How does that sound?" Crimson asks.
"Mkay, Daddy." Moxxie says.
"Good boy, Mox." Crimson says, kissing his head again. He felt warmth in his heart. had his son again. And he's never going to let him go.
~~~Loona~~~
Loona did as Blitzø asked of her for once.
They had a lot of missed calls from clients she had to go through as well as checking reviews and any clients they failed to please to see if they seemed upset enough to seek revenge.
This was gonna take hours.
Maybe even days.
But, she did kind of owe it to Moxxie after how she's treated him all these years...
Why does she feel so bad about that?
It's not like she knew his life was pathetic-
Well, yeah. She kinda did.
But, she didn't know it was that bad.
Loona feels a sharp pain in her chest as well as a coldness that covered her head.
She doesn't feel okay, none of this was okay...
She made a call of her own before continuing to work: "Hey, Esme? Can you sleep over at my house tonight? I don't really want to be alone right now...thanks." She smiles with relief, then hangs up to continue work.
Who knew having friends had so many benefits, she definitely could have used some earlier.
She then decides to listen to voicemails while she organizes the work place, maybe it will be easier if she does.
She went through a couple before hearing a man with a strange yep completely obnoxious voice:
"Hello, I'd like to talk to the CEO Blitzo about some information regarding his employee: Moxxie." A voice says, causing Loona's ears to perk up and turn to the machine.
"He knows where I am, just tell him it's Cash Buckzo."
"Beeeep."
Loona immediately calls her father, hoping this was good news.
~~~Millie & Blitzø~~~
Millie and Blitzø found striker's hideout.
"You mother fucker! Where's my husband?!" Millie asked demandingly as they walked in.
"Your-" Striker looked at her confused. "Why in hell would I have your husband? I don't even-"
Millie doesn't bother to wait for him to finish before attacking striker.
"Mill-" Blitzø starts to say before he gives up and shrugs. "Okay, I guess we're doing this.
~~~~
The two continued to fight striker until Blitzø gets a call...
Despite it not being the best time, he answers because it's Loona: "Loonie, what's going on?" He asks. He has his legs wrapped around Strikers neck before the Imp pries him off and throws him.
"Do you know a Cash Buckzo?"Loona asks.
Blitzø got up, eyes widening at the sound of that name. "What?"
Striker tried again to attack Blitzø, but he raises a finger at the cowboy. "Yeah, yeah. Give me a sec." He says.
Striker facepalms. "You really don't have any idea what you're fucking doing, do you?" He asks before Millie jumps on his back and starts clawing at his face. "What the-"
"What did Cash say?" Blitzø asks Loona.
"He says he has some information about your employees that might be useful to you, he sent a voicemail a few hours after we left to find Moxxie." She explains.
Blitzø tries not to sigh too loudly in the phone because he doesn't want Loona to worry. "Okay, I will handle it. Under no circumstances are you to answer the phone unless I'm calling you or it's a friend, understand?" Blitzø asks.
"Uh, okay?" Loona says, sounding a bit worried, but mostly confused. "Why?"
"Just trust me, okay? And continue to update me on anything else you might find." Blitzø says.
"Okay." Loona sighs, reluctantly agreeing to her father's instructions.
"Thank you, love you, sweetie." Blitzø's hands shake a little while he hangs up the phone...
Why would his father have anything to do with this?
Blitzø supposed he had to face Cash sometime, but why now?!
'No one will want you.'
Fuck!
"I have to go." Blitzø says to Millie.
"What?" Millie asks, continuing to fight striker.
"He doesn't have Moxxie, but I think I know who does!" Blitzø shouts to her.
"Oh." Millie grabs a old pipe she found on the ground and knocks Striker out cold. "Who?" She asks.
Blitzø sighs. "Can't tell you, this is something I have to deal with on my own." He says. "But I'll let you know if my theory is right."
"And what exactly am I supposed to do in the meantime?" Millie asks, arms crossed.
Blitzø sighs. "I don't know- Mills! Doesn't Moxxie have family here in wrath?"
"Well, yeah." Millie says. "But, I've never met them. Why would they have Moxxie?"
Blitzø shrugs. "I don't know. But, if they're as crazy as Moxxie's father, it might be worth looking into." He says. "Just trust me, okay?" Blitzø asks.
Millie sighs, she knows Blitzø usually knows what he's doing. "Alright, but be careful." Millie says. "I can't be the only one left to save the both of you."
"Yeah, I will, don't worry." He says back. "Don't die."
"I won't." She promised.
So, they head their separate ways.
Millie had an idea of where Moxxie's family used to live, but has no clue if they're even still there.
Blitzø on the other hand knows exactly where Cash was. He kept track of where his remaining family was, not that they ever want to see him.
If Cash really knew something about Moxxie, this could prove to be more complicated then they initially thought.
~~~Loona, that night~~~
"Thanks for staying with me, E. I think Blitzø should be back tomorrow or the night after, I just don't think I could sleep after the day I had." Loona says.
Esme was someone Loona had met at Queen B's party. She was really fun and peppy, also currently working on becoming a therapist.
"Totally, L. I know you'd do the same for me, besides my place is kinda lonely anyway." Esme says. "It's great to have some company for a change."
"I'd think it would be nice to not have annoying roommates all the time." Loona says. A sharp pain stinging her heart again with the thought of Moxxie who used to live here, and her father who without him she would probably be homeless.
She didn't mean it like that...
She knows she's lucky!
Esme shrugs. "Yeah, I guess but I can barely keep up with the rent, I'm working double shifts just to scrape by." She explains.
"Oh shit, yeah, that would be worse." Loona says.
"Hey, you should move in with me!" Esme says enthusiastically. "That would be so fun!"
"E, I make money, but not enough for something like that." Loona says.
"Doesn't matter, anything helps!" Esme says.
"I don't know if I can leave my dad." She says.
"Oh, yeah. I forgot how overprotective and needy he was." Esme says.
"Why not just ask three?" Loona asks.
Esme nods. "Yeah, I guess I could do that. But you'd be a hundred percent more fun." She says.
Loona smiles at that, but she doesn't think anyone else would agree with Esme.
"Speaking of asking Three stuff, when are you gonna ask him out?" Esme asks.
"Never." Loona scoffs. "He's way far out of my league."
"He is not!" Esme shouts. "No one is out of your league. No one!" She declared.
Loona scoffs again. "No one?" she asks sadly.
Esme's eyes widen. "Oh...sweetie. You still love Tex?"
"What? No!" Loona says defensively, obviously lying.
"Loona! That's territory you can't cross! Haven't you ever heard the phrase gals before....uhm dicks?"
Loona raises an eyebrow.
"Point is, Tex is happy with a great girl, You have another great guy right in front of you. Try to move on." Esme suggests.
"Yeah...maybe." Loona sighs.
"Loona?" Esme asks.
"I'm sorry- I can't really focus. It's been a long day." She says, Loona sniffs, drying her eyes as subtly as possible.
"What happened?" Esme asks.
"Moxxie, the co-worker who used to live with us went missing." Loona says.
Esme pouts at Loona sympathetically. "Oh. L, I'm sorry."
"We went to his childhood home today to interrogate his father and- it was awful there. His father is an abusive asshole and the house, it gave me the creeps." She says.
"Poor guy." Esme says. "Sounds like he had it rough."
Loona nods as a few tears force their way through. "If I had known he grew up in such a...terrible place. Maybe I would have been nicer to him." Loona says. "At least I hope I would have."
"Loona?"
"E, I've been so mean to someone who's been abused, and now I'm falling apart for a guy who already has a girlfriend. Am I actually a terrible person?" She asks.
"Of course not." Esme says. "You've been through a lot yourself, I think he knows that."
"But, maybe I should have been nice anyway..." she says. "Maybe I should have been supportive and helpful."
"Maybe." Esme agrees. "But, the fact that you're realizing this is growth. It's never too late to start being nice, and I'm sure he knows how much you really care." Esme says.
"Who says I do care?" Loona asks.
Esme scoffs. "Girl- please. It's obvious you care. You've always cared about everything."
"I don't know, I mean I don't hate Moxxie, but I've never thought anything good about him! It's just something about this whole situation makes me feel bad. Like- I want to care more than I actually do, y'know?"
"Maybe you're finally getting caregiver instincts?" Esme suggests. 
"No, he's not a little." Loona scoffs.
Esme shrugs. "Irrelevant. Caregivers aren't exclusively for littles, L. They're for kids, friends, even a lot of them become councilors."
"Really?" Loona asks.
"Yeah, you just gotta figure out what works best for you. You're calling! You got a gift, you gotta find out how to use it." Esme says.
Loona nods. "Maybe. Thanks, E."
"Of course. You feelin a bit better?" Esme asks.
Loona nods. "Yeah...I just want to avoid thinking about...that right now." Loona says. "It's going to make me start thinking about stuff I've tried to avoid thinking about."
Esme nods. "Yeah. That makes sense. Want to talk about something else? Or- oh! We can watch a movie!" She suggest
Loona nods. "Yeah, a movie sounds great."
~~~Moxxie and Alessio, Later~~
"Alright, little one. Daddy has a lot of work to do, So Al is going to put you to bed tonight alright?" Crimson says.
Moxxie nods, a little disappointed. "Mkay, daddy."
Crimson kisses Moxxie's cheek. "Goodnight, Moxxie. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Nigh'." Moxxie says. He turns to Alessio. "Aw, why did I cwy?"
"Come on, little one." The shark says, taking Moxxie's hand.
"Aow!" Moxxie whines, hugging Alessio's arm.
"It'll be alright, Bambino." Alessio says, petting the little one's hair. "It's over now. Don't worry about it."
Moxxie is feeling a lot of emotions right now, anger, sadness, and other conflicting emotions about himself he really didn't like. Something happened, and Al wasn't telling him the truth.
"Aow?" Moxxie asks, sniffling.
"What's wrong?" Alessio asks once they reach the top of the stairs.
"M' ma' Aow." He tries to explain.
"You're...mad?" He guessed.
Moxxie nods. "Yea."
"Why are you mad?" Alessio asks.
"I don' ou'." Moxxie cries out, tears flow his eyes. "Fee' ike' somin' happen, Bu' I dun' o' wha'." He's very carefully getting his words out, it's hard to talk when he's regressed sometimes.
Alessio hums. "It's alright, you're probably just tired." He says. "Are you tired, Moxxie?" He asks.
Moxxie thinks about it, then he nods. Yeah, that seems right. Yeah, he just needs sleep. Sleep fixes everything!
"Come on." Alessio says.
Moxxie follows the shark as told, both of them entering his room to do the nighttime routine.
Alessio helped him wash his face, then brush his teeth, and then helped Moxxie in his pajamas
"Aow?" Moxxie asks.
"SÌ, gattino?"
"Posso crescere?" He asks.
The shark shakes his head as he finishes the buttons on Moxxie's pajama top. "Sorry, Moxxie. You need to stay little for now." Alessio says.
Moxxie whines pathetically at not getting his way. It's not fair, why can't he be big?
Alessio pats his head. "Shh, it's okay, just get some rest. You'll get to be big tomorrow, alright?"
"Wiw oo' wead, Aow?" Moxxie asks hopefully.
"You want a story?" Alessio asks.
Moxxie nods. "P'ease?"
Alessio considered it, knowing that Moxxie should really rest up for tomorrow...
On the other hand, it's been an awful long time since he last read to the impling. "Very well, but I want you to close your eyes and actually try to sleep. Alright?"
Moxxie nods, getting up to pick out a book on the shelf...
Moxxie reached for the one he wanted, but it was moved. His eyes widened when he realized they're all different now, he always organized them based on what he read and hadn't.
First His favorites were displayed on the top shelf. Then, his books were organized into genres and in the order he had read them, and the ones he hadn't read yet were stacked horizontally next to them in a big stack.
But now, they were all vertical, and organized by author. When did they change it?
He decides he doesn't like it. His books were perfect before, why would someone do this?
He glances through them, all his favorites:
-Les miserables by Victor Hugo -The phantom of the opera by gaston leroux -Noth and south by Elizabeth Gaskell -War and peace by Leo Tolstoy
He needs to fix his shelf, they weren't organized right! He can't just look at it like this!
"Moxxie..." Al reminded him.
Oh, right, it's bedtime...he has to pick a book to read tonight so he can sleep.
Moxxie picks up 'Great Expectations by Charles Dickens,' the book him and Al were currently (currently?) reading.
He hands the book to Alessio who tucks Moxxie into bed and starts to read: "My father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip."
"Uhm, Awl." Moxxie says, hesitantly.
"Yes, Moxxie?" Alessio asks.
"We's 'n chapa' nine. Member?"
"Chapter nine?" Alessio asks, confused.
Moxxie nods. "We wed' eight wast time..."
'When was that?' The imp had wondered.
Alessio's eyes widened with a sudden realization. "Oh yes, chapter nine, you're right." Alessio coughs, he turns to chapter nine and continues to read: "When I reached home, my sister was very curious to know all about Miss Havisham's, and asked a number of questions. And I soon found myself getting heavily bumped from behind in the nape of the neck and the small of the back, and having my face ignominiously shoved against the kitchen wall, because I did not answer those questions at sufficient length. If a dread of not being understood be hidden in the breasts of other young people to anything like the extent to which it used to be hidden in mine,—which I consider probable, as I have no particular reason to suspect myself of having been a monstrosity,—it is the key to many reservations."
Moxxie listened to Alessio as he read, feeling relaxed and safe for once. It both felt like it's been only a few days and a lifetime since the last time Alessio read to him.
Once the chapter was done, Alessio tucks Moxxie in tighter, then pats his head. "Now, Piccino; you need to get some sleep. You have a big day tomorrow."
"Wha' happen to'ay, Aow?" Moxxie asks again. "Why I us'et?"
Alessio pets the little's head gently. "Nothing happened. Go to sleep." Alessio tells him, turning the light off and closing the door on his way out.
Moxxie pulls the comforter over his head. He was confused! He didn't know what, but something was wrong! And if he doesn't know what it is, how he can fix it?
He can sleep, he supposed.
Sleep fixed everything...

"Jackman, you better not be jealous"
Hiii Snow bear!!
You were rushing to finish getting ready for your girls night when you heard the front door open.
As of right now, your hair was still pinned up in curls, you had on one eyelash and you were struggling to put the other one on when you heard Jack’s footsteps enter your bedroom.
"Hi boo bear!" You exclaimed while throwing your makeup brush down so that you could greet him properly.
"Hi baby. Where are you off to? I thought you were staying in with me tonight?"
"It's Friday, smush."
"And?"
"Remember I told you on Monday that me, B, and Jess were going out?"
Jack immediately got a pout on his face because he hadn't seen you all day.
"But I only saw you before I left this morning. I thought we were doing movie night."
"Baby, it's just for tonight and then you can have me all weekend. I promise." You said while reaching up to kiss him.
All Jack did was sit on the bed as you continued to get ready and continued to pout and play on his phone.
"Baby?" You got his attention when you sat on his lap and he put his phone down next to him.
"Yes?"
"I won't be long, okay? I missed you too and want to spend time with you."
"You won't be long you say? With the hot chips and bad decisions crew?"
"Jackman, you better not be jealous."
"So what if I am? I want my wife."
"They can have me for a few hours."
"A FEW HOURS? IT'S ALREADY 8 PM!"
"Smush…."
"Okay, okay. I know you can't spend every second of your life with me even though you should, so go have fun."
"Have the movie ready when I get back."
"Mm hmm."
"Husband?"
"Yes, wife?"
"Look at me."
When Jack looked up, you were in front of him and simply took his face in your hands and gave him several kisses.
"I love you more than anything else in this world. You got that?" You said while then kissing his nose.
"More than Birkins?"
"I…. Sweetheart know your limits."
"Seriously?!"
"I'll be back soon."
"Soon to you is 1 AM but I guess."
It was barely 11 PM when Jack heard the front door open and flew down the steps to be met with Urban and Sunni holding White Castle bags.
"Oh. It's just you two."
"Well damn, that's the greeting I get when I bought you food?" Urban said as he held up the bag.
"Ehhh I just want my wife." Jack whined and Urban rolled his eyes.
"Simp. But where is she?"
"With the hot chips and bad decisions crew."
"I… still can't believe you call them that."
The three of them then heard the door again and you walked in to Jack giving you a bone crushing hug and kissing you all over your face.
"I missed you too, smush." You said while laughing.
"Dude, she was barely gone for three hours." Sunni said and Jack rolled his eyes.
"Your point?"
"Oh, Y/N I got enough food for you too."
"I won't need mine." Jack said as he was holding you up.
"Why?"
"My face is about to be between her thighs and that's all the meal that I need."
"I…"
"As usual. Nasty asses." Urban said while shaking his head.
"Then hurry up and take me upstairs."
"As you wish, baby."

Anything with a worried or protective Lenny is always a treat :)
(TW for allusions to sexual abuse/assault)
Sometimes his wife wakes up screaming.
It turns out that there was quite a bit that Lenny didn't really know about Midge until they truly got together and started seeing each other. Obviously there was the brilliantly funny comic. The devoted mother and daughter. The charming dinner companion. The sexy and alluring bedfellow.
But the things he learned about Midge and her life once they started seeing each other seriously was...
He squeezes his eyes shut and gets up from his typewriter, heading out of his office and towards the bedroom. He stops on the way to get her a glass of water, and when he leans into the room, she's sitting up, eyes fixed on the wall, a hand on her chest as she breathes hard.
"It's okay," he says gently as he steps in. "It's okay, Midge."
Her eyes seem to come to life then, flickering to meet his, and she nods, taking a deeper breath, calming herself as she takes the glass of water gratefully.
Lenny takes a seat next to her, stroking the hair that's fallen out of her curlers and scarf away from her eyes. "You're okay."
She nods again, swallowing down the water and rests her head on his shoulder.
He wraps an arm around her, stroking her shoulder comfortingly. "You wanna talk?"
Midge shakes her head. "Same as ever."
Lenny kisses the top of her head, mostly catching scarf, but he's unbothered. It took a long time for her to confess what exactly the contents of her nightmares were, but eventually she told him.
That it's not just some bad dream she can't shake. It's the remnants of actual events she experienced; suffered through.
"It's not really Joel's fault," Midge had explained at the time. "He thought it was enjoyable. And I...I let him because...because I wanted to make him happy but it-"
Hurt.
And it stuck.
Shit like this happened to Honey, too. But she buried hers deep, deep down, under a mountain of drugs and denial.
For Midge it comes out in nightmares but not much else. She's not so much in denial as she is determined not to let it affect everything else in her life.
But Lenny's glad that she's let him in so far as to hold her when she needs it. Get her water. Help her calm back down enough to maybe get a little more sleep. There was a time when she'd just get up and be up, and then there'd be some elaborate breakfast on the table in the morning she spent half the night on.
Croissants once, which were incredible, but not worth the insomnia.
"I'm gonna get ready for bed, and we can both try to get some rest, okay?" he offers. "I shouldn't be writing this late anyways."
She nods and lets him go, sitting back with her water, watching him strip down.
He does his best to focus on Midge; on making sure she gets more rest. He plans on picking the kids up from Joel's tomorrow, and she can relax, or go have a meeting with Susie or lunch with her mother or something. Anything to keep her from the ex tomorrow.
There are days - not many - but there are days when he would like nothing more than to dig a deep, deep hole, throw the man in, cover it up with the unsettled dirt, and leave him there to rot.
But for now, Lenny will settle for sliding into bed and holding his wife tightly as her body unclenches and she rests against him.
