Could I request some reactions from Draal, Blinky and Aargh on a teen human(gender neutral reader pls!) Who has the same personality as Marcy from Amphibia, showing them a bunch of video games they love please? Especially some being more gruesome then others, would love to read it! :D
Heck yeah dude!! I absolutely love Marcy <3 BTW this started off simple but I went off the rails completely lmao so sorry about that TwT
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*:・゚✧*:・゚✧
You are a close friend of Jim and Toby, having grown up with them on the same block. You became a trio: inseparable. You were with Jim as he picked up the amulet, you were running beside Toby as Bular hunted you three down, and you were beside the two as you graced the grounds of Trollmarket. Your mind is completely blown by it. You were already off running around: taking notes in your math notebook of what you saw, the types of trolls that were around, facts Blinky spewed out, and even that big blue grumpy one that threatened Jim in front of you!
While your intellect proves to be insightful on the battlefield, your clumsiness also poses a potential threat to yourself and others. Regardless, you’re a valued member of the Trollhunters and have garnered respect from most of Trollmarket (and even Vendel himself). You have helped countless times, and even put your life on the line for others. Now… here are the thoughts of some specific residents of Trollmarket! >:]
Draal
Before the duel with Jim, your optimism confuses him, if not annoys him. He legit just threatened to kill your best friend, and all you can do is stare at him with stars in your eyes. Great to have admirers, he supposes. Even if they are some imposter, wannabe Trollhunter’s ally. As you walk away with the group, he can’t help but guffaw as you trip over your feet. If these were the Trollhunter’s allies- the supposed saviors of man and trollkind- then the world truly was doomed.
After getting humbled by Jim, his attitude begins to shift more. Yes, there are moments of annoyance (especially when you ask to measure his horns or teeth and ramble about things he doesn’t understand), but overall you’re strange, and it’s amusing. You are easily impressed by nearby anything he does, and that’s fine. It’ll start to fuel his ego again.
You start to hang around Jim’s more often than not and Draal enjoys having you around. The majority of the time you’re taking notes, and when you’re not, you’re geeking out about some vampire books and other fixations. He tells you he’s met a few, and when you ask if they’re anything like in the shows you watch (attractive, seductive), he hits you with a hard “no” and laughs at your disappointment. Human’s obsession with vampires was so strange.
Draal teases you a lot, and even if it’s mean-spirited you just go along with it the majority of the time. If you do mention something, he’ll back down from it. But it doesn’t stop him from occasionally knocking that new novel you got from the library out of your hand.
Video games are rather confusing to him. Not that he hates them of course! But he doesn’t quite enjoy them as much as Arrrgh does. Of course, he’ll play the more violent games you have, but he doesn’t care for the shooters. He’d much rather tear them apart with his bare hands, thank you very much. There was one time when you had to beg Draal to not destroy your TV the first time you introduced him to Skyrim.
Table-top games on the other hand? Absolutely! He loves playing DnD with you. He likes having more interaction and freedom with the choices he makes when compared to video games where you have to follow the plot. Blinky or Toby often narrates when you have game nights with the group. Out of everyone, you and Draal are the most competitive. You two both get into character and often come up with strategies. Sometimes a little too much for everyone’s liking. The table often gets crushed, and there have been times when you both were at each other’s throats. 
You’re now his little sibling. No questions asked. You jokingly mention something along the lines of a “found-family” trope, and after a brief explanation of it, he just subtly agrees with that being your relationship with him. Prepare for a protective big brother, even if you know your way around trouble. 
Arrrgh
You both are automatically besties. That’s it, I don’t make the rules. There’s no doubt about it that you’re all over him when you first get to meet Arrrgh. While Jim is stressed about trolls in his home and Toby is freaking out, you’re bombarding the giant, green ball of moss with millions of questions. He thinks it's adorable and while slightly overwhelmed, he doesn’t mind responding to them. His answers are short and vague though, and Blinky ends up intervening and answers with more detail. 
It honestly doesn’t take a lot for him to grow attached to you. He finds your energy very endearing, and you manage to light up the room with it even during the most hopeless times. You surprisingly don’t get as overwhelmed compared to everyone else in the group, though it doesn’t stop Arrrgh from checking up on you. You might wanna write down how much of a good comfort buddy he is.
Speaking of which! If you are down, he won’t hesitate to do what he can to comfort you. If you need to vent, he is all ears. He isn’t much of a talker, but by God, he is a good listener. His advice is short and simple: usually straight to the point. Regardless, it doesn’t undermine how sweet and thoughtful his words are. Most of the time you talk about how overwhelming your parents are, and often he assures you that only wants the best for you but doesn’t know how to show it. A part of you thinks otherwise, but you know that they do mean well. 
When you visit Toby’s house, the three of you have movie nights. A pillow fort is made in Toby’s room and you both bring all the movies you can. There’s finally the night when you manage to convince the two (mainly Toby) to binge-watch Twilight. You get so giddy it was hard not to laugh at your reaction for Arrrgh. He doesn’t understand the plot, but he’s interested in it. As much as Toby wanted to hate it, he couldn’t help but rant about Bella’s decisions with you and listening how she could’ve bettered herself. Arrrgh just nods, having been seated between the two of you and not able to escape the conversation. 
This troll is pretty protective of you. You’re very capable of yourself, there’s no doubt about it. But again, your clumsiness is what gets you into trouble the majority of the time. There have been instances where you indirectly killed a goblin leader. Taking them head-on during their frenzied state is near impossible, but for Arrrgh, he’s more than willing to take it as a means of defending you. Thankfully, you are pretty witty, so you do find ways to drive them away from you.
As seen in the show, Arrrgh does love video games! You have a considerable amount of video games, ranging from violent ones like Mortal Combat to non-violent ones like Animal Crossing (one of Arrrgh’s favs). Knowing his past, you tend to stray away from the more mature games and settle for the “kiddie” stuff. Arrrgh loves Cooking Mama and Little Friends. Just remind him to be gentle with your switch- sometimes he forgets his strength.
Blinky:
Blinky would not hesitate to admit it, but it’s nice having someone who shares the same enthusiasm as he does! Especially when it comes to learning. While the troll cares deeply for Jim, he can admit that when it comes to their lessons, his less than enthusiastic attitude towards it can be drab. If not, a bit discouraging. With you, however, it’s a complete 180. He always sees you taking notes, commenting on their cultures with genuine intellect, and your analysis is always endearing to listen to. Although you still have much to learn, you are on the right track.
Besides that, you’re always a delight to be around with! He can’t help but admire your charming nature, even if at times you are ditzy. He knows you always mean well, so he can’t hold it against you. He’s most definitely “Marcy-proofed” his library; AKA, he’s put his more “delicate” items in safer places, and the potentially dangerous ones are hidden away.
While Blinky teaches you all the ropes of troll culture, you return the favor by explaining human culture to him. It’s honestly a mix of easy, and difficult. It’s not that Blinky’s dumb (no, far from that actually) or that you’re a bad teacher, it’s just the fact that he’s misinterpreted human customs and inventions for so many years. 
When he turns human, you are most definitely the one teaching him how to drive… which was, all in all, a terrible idea. You knew how to drive. You had just gotten your permit for Pete’s sake! Blinky on the other hand? He’s a wild rider. You lost track of how many times you both almost crashed into a divider just because he assumed you were able to drive on it, or how many times you prayed he wouldn’t take the yellow light. When he finally stopped driving, you insisted you could both walk home.
Video games aren't his forte. The concept of them is interesting, especially with how much they are able to fit into a small disk! But alas, they are but treats to the normal troll. Although it doesn't stop him from being interested in what you have to show. The gruesome games intrigue him. Do humans really like violence that much? It doesn't really shock him that much. They haven't changed much even after centuries, have they?
Like Arrrgh, he’s a good listener. His advice is genuine too, especially when you run away to Trollmarket when things aren’t going well at home. You’ve come there an alarming amount of times to a point the conditions of your home were concerning him. Especially when you break in front of him, wailing about the pressures and stress you feel from your parents and the potential of moving out of Arcadia. At home, you feel unloved if you don’t achieve your parents' goals. They have given you so much, yet you feel you give so little in return. You love your parents, but being with them is draining.
Although Troll's culture is different when it comes to humans, he knows the burdens of expectations are all the same. That pressure of knowing that your best isn’t enough… he’s felt that. He assures you that you are doing your best, more than others could. He assures you that your tears are not a sign of weakness, but a glimpse of your strength. He assures you that you are enough. It surprises him when you suddenly hug him, though it doesn’t stop him from embracing you as well.

2ND MHA DR INTRODUCTION
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
**slightly incorrect hair colourings from late last year😒 will be updated soon
∘₊ ✧───────────────────✧₊∘
Category is: Marcelynn K. Banks
Age: 17
Height: 5"6
Quirk: Magnetism [Scientifically called Gravitational force]
Manifest type(?). Marcelynn's palms have a strange 4 sided star symbol in the middle with a long arrow shape in between each space. When activated, anything in contact with her will either attract or retract anything or person to or from her like a magnet.
The law of her quirk is to ATTRACT (towards herself) = PULL, to RETRACT (away from herself) = PUSH
Marcelynn also likes to use her incredibly strong magnets (which have settings) to help with reaching further places by chucking the gadget at the target area, the magnet activates and starts to pull her in towards the exact area the magnet is.
Abilities she has are:
○ Gravitating to surface areas beneath her feet/hands/body no matter the angle of the surface in the form of retraction
○ Force fields
○ Increased damage imapct of kicks and punches on the opponent
○ Extreme high jumps
○ Telekinesis (sort of)
No backstory really, just fun facts:
○ Bakugo and Kirishima once referred to Mina and Banks as Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle because of their appearance.
○ Banks plays the double bass, the drums, the acoustic guitar and electric. She is also a Nirvana and The neighbourhood fan (After Jirou immediately befriended her after finding this out, she told Tokoyami, Momo and Bakugo and now she's part of their band)
○ Mina and Sero were her first friends she made they both heard her cussing in Spanish under her breath about something and they replied back in Spanish too. Turns out Mina is Afro-Latina and Sero is Hispanic
○ Marcelynn lives on the top floor of the dormitory with Kirishima, Uraraka, Mina and Bakugo.
○ Marcelynn wasn't planning on falling in love with any of her classmates. Until Kirishima and Uraraka became her Bi awakening. (Bakugo soon followed onto her list of crushes because she thinks his intimidating persona, his attitude and his quirk is sick af.. plus he's really funny and knows how to cook)
○ Marcy B. is an artist. She has notebooks stacked ontop of each other filled with drawing of her favourite anime and marvel characters, her favourite pro heros, and she's just recently bought a new one to fill with drawings of her class mates
○ There was a time when Marcelynn admitted she loves receiving and giving physical touch. That's why she's basically merciless when sparing, she wants to see how far the both of them can go no holding back.
○ To add onto the last fact, Marcelynn is graceful fighter. She is flexible and super good with her legs. She is light on her feet and lands fatale kicks and swings with her quirk, Midoriya noticed this and mentioned how her fighting style is a mixture of Chun Li from street fighters, Yor from Spy x Family and Gwen Stacy from ITSV/ATSV.
Anyway, take this limited edition marcy k. nendroid before you go 🤲🏾🫵🏾

Truth and Dare(devil)
My favorite cute idiot, Matt Murdock x reader 
Tumblr media
Y/N and Matthew had been friends for years.
They had met in college, thanks to Foggy who loved talking to everyone, and whom Y/N had found both funny and friendly. The future lawyer had then invited her to meet his roommate, best friend and, if all went well, avocado at law.
Right away, it had been obvious between Y/N and Matt.
They got along perfectly well, two gentle, empathetic humans, wanting others to be happy, being caring, and awfully stupid.
Foggy often made fun of the two saying they were like twins or soulmates.
Matt considered himself very lucky to have two such wonderful friends, and he didn't care what his roommate might say.
After graduation, they kept in touch, calling each other often and meeting regularly at the bar whenever they had time.
Their friendship was still the same, and that was why Matt felt he had to confess to Y/N that he was Daredevil, after all his other friends found out, that he nearly died several times, and the danger being there even for those who didn't know.
It was difficult, she was afraid for him of course, she asked him a lot of questions, but since she knew Matt very well, Y/N knew that he wouldn't stop even if she begged him.
They had known each other for years, she accepted him as he was, and there was no reason for there to be any resentment or secrecy between them.
Or almost.
     "There is still a secret between us."
Karen looked at Matthew for a long time, who had obviously had too much to drink, displaying a big smile as he pointed his beer at Y/N, while Foggy got up to go to the bathroom.
     "Which one ?" asked Y/N, curious, not seeing what he was talking about.
     "You know. Of course you know. Marci's party."
     "I need more details."
     "Marci's party ! Truth or dare."
     "Truth or… Oh, no. Matt, no, not that again."
     "What ? What ?!" Karen said shaking her friend's leg.
     "Y/N ! Y/N here didn't honestly answer a question during the game and she always refused to tell me the answer."
     "It's been over ten years."
     "Exactly ! Tell me. Tell me your secret."
     "What was the question ?"
     “Who is hrt crush." Matt repeated proudly, finishing his drink.
The evening at Marci's had been complicated. They didn't remember everything, Foggy threw up in a closet after kissing a girl, Matt fell asleep in the bathroom, and Y/N didn't really have fun, because of this stupid question.
     "I should have taken dare."
     "But you took truth !" sneered Matt. "And what did you answer ? 'Yes, there is someone, but it's nothing, it's not mutual, I don't want to talk about it.' And, I don't care who it was, but you seemed so sad. Because they didn't like you. I want to know who that idiot was to tell you that they didn't deserve you, and that you had no reason to be afraid to talk to us. To talk to me."
     "Matty..."
     "Y/N."
He continued to smile proudly, his eyes focused on her chest, showing that he wouldn't give up, and he smiled even more when she sighed.
     "Fine. You're right, it's been ten years, so I can tell you."
     "I can't wait to find out." Karen whispered.
     "It was you, Matt."
The smile froze then, becoming strained, before starting to fade. Karen's was accompanied by a small cry of surprise.
     "No way !"
     "Yes. From the first day, when I met him. it was hell, he flirted with all the girls, then there was Elektra, then more girls. Foggy asked me all the time if it was not too hard."
     "Foggy ?" Matt wondered, coming out of his torpor for a moment. "Foggy knew about it."
     "Of course, everyone knew. You were the only one who didn't know, it was painful. Why do you think they asked me that question ? I was so ashamed. But that's okay, it's in the past."
     "What is the past ?" Foggy asked, finally finding his place, completely not noticing the expressions on his friends' faces.
     "My crush for Matt."
     "Oh, that ? Did you tell him ? Shit, I wanted to tell him at your wedding."
     "You are not funny."
     "I am extremely funny, thank you, I am the comic element of our group, in addition to being the most handsome and the most intelligent."
Matthew then listened, still hearing that sadness he had heard years ago, at Marci's party, as Y/N answered without answering that stupid question, avoiding looking at him.
She had said that was in the past. Speaking of this evening.
But was this the case for her feelings ?
Her heart was beating fast, like every time they were in the same room, and now Matt only heard that, not concentrating on Karen's laughter, or Foggy's gentle teasing, or Y/N's soft voice.
When it was late, he offered to walk her home.
     "Given your condition, it is rather me who should accompany you." she said, putting a hand on his shoulder.
     "I'm fine, I haven't had that much to drink. I'll sleep on the couch, if you're afraid I won't find my way in the dark, jumping from roof to roof."
     "Haha. Now that you've said that, you're definitely sleeping on my couch. Come on."
He let her take his arm and lead him to her apartment, even though it was absolutely unnecessary.
Before, the gesture would have been natural. Welcome. Matt had never asked himself the question, he liked that Y/N touched him. He liked having her near him. He... He loved her. A lot.
     "Truth or Dare ?" he said as they waited to cross a street.
     "Matt..."
    "Do you want to start ? Alright. Truth for me."
     "I don't feel like playing."
     "I'm sorry... It's just... I had a crush in college too. I guess. I never wanted to admit it, because she was someone I loved very much, who made me happy, and since I always scare away the people I love, I think I was scared and always preferred not to change anything between us, to make sure I didn't lose her. But tonight, she said she had a crush too. On me."
Y/N stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, letting go of his arm and letting him walk alone. He stopped a few meters away, still listening to her heart beating faster and faster.
     "... Truth."
     "You still love me ?" he asked almost shyly. "You love me, despite everything you know about me, everything I've done ? Everything I've done to you ?"
     "... You already know the answer."
     "I didn't even think you didn't just consider me a big brother until tonight. Foggy must think I'm an oblivious idiot."
     "No, you're wrong, the whole campus thought you were an oblivious idiot. No big deal."
     "You're still avoiding to answer." he noted, continuing to turn his back on her. Because he was scared, because maybe he was wrong, and he wasn't sure he knew her answer.
He heard her heart move closer to him, and he tried not to tremble as she wrapped her arms around his chest to hug him, pressing her face to his back.
     "Is it bad if I still love you ?" she whispered, very quietly, but knowing he could hear her.
     "Only because it proves that we are two idiots who have wasted a lot of time."
     "I don't think so. I had a great friend until now, and now I have... I have... I don't know what people call it these days."
     "Luck ?"
     "No, I think they say date, or thing."
     "A thing ? I'm a thing ?"
     "A wonderful thing." Y/N scoffed. "A great thing. An incredible thi..."
Grabbing her hands for her to let go, Matt turned to kiss her, making her stop talking nonsense. This made her laugh, while totally disrupting her heartbeat. The most beautiful sound he had ever heard.
     "No more secrets ?" he asked between two kisses.
     "I promise. You'll still sleep on the couch tonight."
     "Of course."
Matt slept on the couch. For eight minutes. Then Y/N came to get him, because he wasn't wrong, they had already wasted a lot of time, and they weren't that stupid.

I REMEMBER SEEING ART WITH THIS A FEW MONTHS BACK BUT I WANT TO EXPLAIN (still crediting @wetcatschwartzy for the idea/inspiration though. also hi i'm aware we've never spoken sorry for tagging you in my unhinged fic idea post) BUT ANYWAY uhhhhhh. 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. But make it the main cast of NPMD. An au that appeals to ???? people ?? it definitely appeals to me
And now the cast I'd so and my justifications, idc
Steph Lauter as Olive Ostrovsky
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thought process: We know Olive's dad works a lot, is emotionally distant, and Olive implies that he can be downright cold or abusive during the I Love You song, which lines up pretty well with Steph and Solomon's relationship. Olive's mom ran off, and we never get any mention of Steph's (picture Steph being introduced by the hosts mentioning her mom won Honey Queen or something). Both know their strengths and weaknesses but have serious self-doubts about their own intelligence (Steph being convinced she's dumber than she realizes, Olive never answering until she whispers the word to herself). Also I thought about Mariah singing TILY Song and sobbed.
Pete Spankoffski as William Morris Barfée
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Starting off strong, they both have very stupid names that they KNOW are stupid and try to defend the moment they can ("It's Polish" / "There's an accent aigu"). Both of them have grumpy/cold exteriors, but when you get down to it, they're both just socially awkward and autistic coded but very intelligent kids that are really just at the Bee to try to make something of themselves (Barfée dropping out because of an allergic reaction at the previous Bee could totally translate to Pete having a diabetic emergency). Both develop crushes on Steph/Olive by the end of act 1 of their respective shows too, so. There's that I guess.
Grace Chasity as Logainne Schartzandgrubinierre
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"But Ember, wouldn't she match better with the Catholic--" GRACE DOES NOT LIKE CATHOLICS. Also I have thought this through. Logainne is politically aware, cutthroat, and automatically assumes herself to be the most important person in the room. She takes up every project and social issue that she can to appease her dads, determined to be as perfect as they want her to be. She loses the Bee because she gets overconfident, taking a serious blow because of her pride. Grace takes up every project and social issue that she can (anti-hocoming posters and the prank on Max for example), can be cutthroat (canonically has murdered at least two men), and thanks to her holier-than-thou nature, assumes herself the most important person in the room. She takes up cancelling HOCO and is always early for school and is extremely devout because that's the perfect little girl her parents expect from her. And she'd probably get so into it she'd fall from pride, too.
Max Jagerman as Marcy Park
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HEAR ME OUT! Marcy has been the top of her class all her life, to the point she was moved one grade ahead. She's popular, she's intelligent, she's multitalented, and she's peaking at age 12 and aware of it. "I Speak Six Languages" is literally her having a breakdown realizing she's been the "best" for too long and it's stressing her out. Max, meanwhile, says he knows he's peaked in high school, and therefore is making the most out of his popularity and status while he can. Like, I can picture him mentioning he's done every sport available to him and being the best athlete is only going to do so much for him in his life in a "I'm so sick and tired / of always being the best and brightest" type monologue. So when he drops out on purpose, who would he daydream about instead of Jesus? Maybe some NFL star idk. Everything I know about football is about the Chiefs (Missouri represent) and also learned against my will.
Ruth Fleming as Chip Tolentino
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They're both horny, both proud of their own nerdiness, and would both ABSOLUTELY catch feelings for a competitor's sibling and immediately forget what word they had to spell. And would both make jokes about the especially dirty sounding words (to be fair all his words are kinda funny. And I DID learn the word "tittup" from this show) (look it up I dare y'all). Ruth singing Chip's Lament? Funny to me.
Richie Lipschitz as Leaf Coneybear
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AuDHD coded, tendency to have the wrong takeaways, generally socially awkward even among the other nerds. Tbh that's all I got, they're matched up because they're the last ones. Still kinda fits though.
And I have less justification for the adults but here's my takes anyway
Miss Mulberry as Rona - sweet but stern ladies who've been taking care of after school functions for years
Tom Houston as Douglas Panch - he doesn't want to be there, he's as confused as everyone else (but without the hitting on Mulberry stuff he's never do Becky wrong like that <3)
Dan Reynolds as Mitch Mahoney - he's a volunteer counselor!

Hello! I was wondering if you could perhaps write a calamity trio x reader? More specifically, what would happen if all of the girls had a crush on the same person?
Omg yes this is such a cute idea :0 (sorry the reader won’t really be the focus 😅 it’s an Anne pov, and Marcy and Sash are still very much in it)
Warnings: none
Relationships: they have a crush on you👀
Tumblr media
Anne, Sasha, and Marcy had grown more after returning from Amphibia— they had at least another year until Marcy had to move, as her disappearance had prompted her parents to put their plans on hold for a few months, meaning she could stay in California the time being— but even though the three of them were no longer geographically torn apart, conflicting schedules meant that they hardly had time to spend together.
However, now that the trio had begun the new school year, life had been going pretty well. The pestering questions from other students and even teachers were annoying, but easy to get used to. Things felt normal again.
Anne loved her friends a lot, but she also wanted to expand her circle a bit. That was kind of hard when everyone knew her as the superhero girl who defended the city from robots last summer, but her adventures in Amphibia had given her nothing if not tenacity.
Finally, after a month or so of having no one to hang out with during school, she met someone new. Someone who hadn’t seen her destroy a fleet of robots on live television over the summer.
Anne only had two classes with you, and you had separate lunch periods, but that was perfectly fine. You had sat together in class every day since you first started school there, and Anne had quickly made a habit of texting you often. Photos of Domino, memes, random thoughts— she found every excuse to text you. She even took a few cute selfies with you! Overall, your fast friendship was wonderful.
Weeks into this new friendship, however, Anne was beginning to realize something. Her feelings for you were… changing. She didn’t used to struggle with eye contact when you complimented her. She had never before turned into a blushing mess just from a hug. Suddenly, your every action had her overthinking.
“Anne? Are you listening?” An amused voice broke through her thoughts.
Anne looked up to see you staring at her, confused. “Oh, haha— sorry I was just zoning out.” Anne said, face burning. “What did you say?”
“I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the library after school to work on our group project.” You asked.
“Yeah totally!” Anne answered quickly. This is the first time they’ve invited me to hang out outside of school!
“Wait— I mean, I’d love to… but I have plans already. Sorry.” Anne said, frowning. She had forgotten that she and her other two friends were going to be hanging out all afternoon, and even sleeping over at Marcy’s house.
“That’s alright. how about Sunday? It’s due on Monday, you know.” You said with a little laugh.
Anne groaned. “I know, sorry. That sounds good, you can come to my place.”
“I’ll text you, okay?” You smiled as you stood up to put away your notebook and pencil. Anne hid her face; you thought it was funny, but really she was hiding how your sweet smile always made her blush.
Anne needed advice.
Marcy and Sasha were engrossed in conversation (something about a manga they both read; Anne didn’t quite know), but Anne was distracted. She sat on Marcy’s bed, scrolling through her album of selfies with you.
“Anyway, I’m going to get some snacks and change into my pajamas. You guys get comfy too!” Marcy said, plugging her phone into the charger by her bedside table.
Anne waited for Marcy to close the door before she unzipped her backpack and pulled out her overnight stuff.
“So how are you doing? It’s been a while since we’ve hung out.” Sasha made conversation while she walked into the adjoining bathroom to change.
Anne sighed. “Nothing bad,” she started, quickly pulling on her pajamas. It was just a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt, nothing like Sasha’s cute matching sweatsuit. Anne wondered if you would think she looked cute if she dressed up. “…I’m just a little… I don’t know. I feel kind of weird.”
“Well what’s up, girl? Having bad dreams again?” Sasha re-entered the room, taking out her ponytail, and lie down on Marcy’s queen sized bed.
Anne smiled softly to herself, getting lost in thought for a moment. She loved how Sasha was always so worried about her. Back when they had just barely gotten home from Amphibia, Sasha would stay up on the phone with Anne all night while she cried. Sometimes she was missing the Plantars, sometimes she was convinced one of Andrias’s robots was after her again, sometimes she was having a panic attack thinking about her own inevitable death— no matter how long it took, Sasha was always there.
“Anne?”
“No, I’m fine.” Anne said, a little embarrassed. She sat back against the headboard. “Just normal teenager things.”
“Great,” Sasha said, smiling and closing her eyes. “Can’t get enough of that. Lay it on me.” She said, getting comfy.
Anne laughed. Marcy walked back in the room, making her jump. Her heart was already in her throat, beating hard from the nerves of talking about her feelings (however roundabout).
“Hey guys! Sorry it took me a minute, I accidentally spilled the first bowl of chips.” Marcy said, shrugging. Sasha stood up and took a bag of candy from her arms, which were full of snack food.
“I’m surprised you didn’t drop more, with how much you’re carrying.” She replied, kicking a pillow out of the way so she could sit down on the plush carpet.
Marcy laughed. “Anyway, what are you guys talking about?” She said, relaxing on the beanbag chair next to the outlet where her phone was charging. She put the arm full of snacks on the ground between her and Sasha.
Sasha looked at Anne, waiting for her to answer.
“Oh, haha, I just wanted some advice.” She blushed. “I think I might… have a crush on someone.” She looked away, laughing awkwardly while Sasha and Marcy freaked out.
“Oh my god, that’s great!” Sasha smiled widely.
“Are you gonna ask them out?” Marcy asked, gasping. “You have to tell us everything!”
Anne grinned self consciously, thinking about you. Asking you out. “Well, we met at school, and I really like them…”
“Is it someone we know?” Sasha asked teasingly.
Anne shrugged. With how new they are to the school, what are the odds that they’ve met my two only friends? “Maybe. Anyway, we’ve been friends for a while, and suddenly I just can’t think straight when I’m around them… I’m worried that if I don’t say something and get it off my chest, they’ll notice, and— I don’t know, it would just be embarrassing.” Anne ranted.
Sasha nodded seriously. “Classic story. Not to worry, though, Marce and I have tons of experience with crushes.”
Marcy laughed nervously. “Sasha, you said you wouldn’t tell!” She lightly punched Sasha, who ignored her.
“Anyway, who is it?” The blonde asked. She took a handful of chips and ate them, casually relaxing against the pillows on the floor.
Anne, still sitting on the bed, leaned down to whisper in Sasha’s ear. She was pretty confident that she wouldn’t even recognize your name, but the other girl gasped as soon as she said it.
“No. Freaking. Way. Marcy you would not believe this— Anne likes the same person you do!”
Anne’s heart dropped. “What?” She distantly registered that Marcy said the exact same thing at the exact same time. She would have laughed if she didn’t feel so… weird.
“We eat lunch together like every day.” Sasha explained to Anne. “Marcy has a huge crush on them.”
“You do too!” Marcy accused, embarrassed, making Sasha blush.
“Whatever, at least I can act normal about it!” Sasha argued.
Anne felt an unfamiliar twist in her stomach. Jealousy. They hang out every day? She frowned. She wondered if Sasha was as confident and flirty with you as she was with her sometimes.
“So we all like the same person?” Marcy clarified, after a moment of tense silence. “I didn’t really think they would be your type,” she said to Anne.
“I didn’t even know I had a type!” Anne said, a little exasperated. She had never felt so strongly about a crush before. She thought about your laugh, how you teased her sometimes, how she had picked out a nickname for her…
Sasha for once didn’t really have any advice. “Well who do they like?”
Marcy shrugged. “They always avoid the question. I’ve tried asking.”
Anne was shocked. “Really? You guys talk about that stuff?”
Sasha giggled. “Yeah, some of us are better at hiding our feelings.“
Anne rolled her eyes. “Whatever.” She paused for a moment. “…Are you guys going to ask them out?”
Sasha shrugged. “Maybe. Should I?”
Anne thought about that. Now that the initial surprise had worn off, she found that she wasn’t upset that Marcy and Sasha liked you. She wondered if you would be interested in dating all of them. The trio had shared everything with each other ever since they had first become friends… come to think of it, Anne found that she liked the idea of all of them dating you.
“I think we all should.” Marcy said, smiling. “How should we do it?”
“Let’s FaceTime them,” Sasha suggested. “I want to see how they react.”
Anne shook her head. She knew she was far too shy and awkward about the whole situation for that to end well. “How about just texting? We could create a groupchat.”
The other girls nodded. “Alright, sounds good!”
Marcy inviter you, her, and Sasha to join a groupchat. Anne snorted a laugh when Marcy renamed the chat to an emoji: 🫣
“Who wants to go first?” Asked Sasha, feeling nervous.
Anne just wanted to get it over with, wanted to know what you thought. “I will.” She quickly typed out a simple message and sent it.
You replied quickly, much to Anne’s relief.
I like you.
Me?
Why are you saying it in a gc?
Worrying that this was too weird, that you hated her now, Anne was already typing her apology when Sasha and Marcy replied.
Because I do too :D
Me too
Marcy squealed, dropping her phone and hiding her face. “Ah, this is crazy!”
Sasha laughed. Anne knew she was trying to play it cool, but secretly cared just as much. Anne herself felt sick to her stomach from nerves. Her heart nearly stopped when the notification that you replied came in.
Do you all wanna go on a date tmrw? We can talk abt it over lunch
I didn’t know u were friends :)
Anne sighed in relief, laughing. Friends is an understatement. She grinned, excited, hearing Marcy and Sasha celebrating around her. Her heart swelled with joy, glad that her two best friends would be there with her in this new relationship.
She was so caught up in her own emotions that she didn’t notice Sasha taking a selfie of the room, including all three of the girls in it. It popped up in the groupchat.
Anne clicked on the picture, seeing Sasha in the corner of the screen, Marcy waving with one hand and holding her phone in the other, and herself distracted and staring at her screen. Her face was absolutely glowing with happiness, cheeks darkened with a blush, staring fondly at your messages.
“Sash, that’s such an embarrassing picture of me!” Anne looked up, not really upset.
Sasha stuck her tongue out. “It’s cute. I bet our new lover thinks so too.” She said teasingly. Anne looked down at her phone again, still smiling.
Marcy came in for a hug. “First date tomorrow, Anne! Are you excited?”
Anne laughed, hugging Marcy back. “Heck yeah!”
“We should do a spa night!” Sasha said, standing up. “Marcy, do you still have those face masks I got for you? We’ll be absolutely glowing tomorrow.” She posed, making Anne and Marcy laugh.
“Of course!” Marcy replied excitedly. “I even have some nail polish; our signature colors!”
Anne couldn’t stop smiling as she followed Marcy and Sasha into the bathroom. She felt great. Despite things changing for her after she returned from Amphibia, the love she shared with her friends stayed the same. And now, they could all open their hearts up more, expanding that love, growing exponentially closer.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed reading about these dorks crushing on you :P have a nice day!

having a lot of thoughts as usual about sdmi and its portrayal of the cycle of abuse, and how pericles, cassidy, and ricky's foils and parallels to each other there are all both fascinating and deeply tragic.
in particular today i'm thinking about how ricky is an abusive mentor toward marcie, and tries to be abusive toward velma and fails because she has a support system and hasn't been worn down yet, and velma being an example and continuing to extend marcie support and a hand out of her situation is what gives marcie the courage to leave even when it's dangerous to do so, and how pericles spends the series--present day and past--systematically isolating ricky and dismantling his support system one by one, and how everything cassidy stood for was refusing to continue the cycle with everything she had, and how she felt so so guilty and violated and betrayed when ricky manipulated her into it anyway, and how she was willing to die to make it right, and how marcie standing up to him to great effect with her new support system leaves him utterly stunned, and how after that he starts trying to stand up for himself against his abusive mentor and break the cycle, and how he tries to take up cassidy's convictions as his weapon to do it with because cassidy was crushed under the wheels of the cycle but marcie proved it was possible to break,
and how he couldn't do that with his own abuser because pericles has spent his life building a steel cage around him, and tightening and tightening and tightening it without him even realizing it until it was too late, and how fucking devastated he is when it's finally demonstrated him that the door to the cage is closed for good,
and how when he is made complicit in his abuser reaching through the generations to make sure cassidy died for nothing, and that this little girl who gave him hope by defeating his attempt to continue the cycle couldn't escape him after all, it breaks him.
fucking kill me, man. god.

Go With Me Review
“Go With Me” manages to give more insight into multiple different character dynamics in the span of 11 minutes. Finn and Bubblegum, Jake and Marceline, Finn and Marceline, and Marcy and PB have series defining moments for their relationships, with even some super insightful Finn and Jake interaction sprinkled in. Not even the 90-minute Stakes miniseries manages to accomplish that. 
Despite Finn’s puppy love for Princess Bubblegum, Finn does not understand romance nor is ready for it. Despite this, Jake pushes Finn to bring a date to couple’s movie night. Jake and Marceline encourage Finn to pursue someone who is too old for him, albeit for different reasons. Jake has a naive view of romance, and has no frame of reference for how to help a (barely) teen human boy deal with his feelings. He views Finn as someone capable of having true romantic feelings, which Finn clearly isn’t yet. Finn immediately shoots down PB’s description of the night as “romantic”. PB declines for whistling practice. I don’t think this was just an excuse to turn down Finn. Bubblegum finds Finn's crush on her cute and harmless in the first two seasons. I think she’d be willing to humor him by attending, not yet knowing the effect that kind of behavior has on Finn. Jake gives more terrible advice, pushing Finn to keep pursuing PB. 
Marcy’s introduction into this episode is great, with the slow split screen reveal of her presence. It’s also the first of many times we see her hiding inside the Treehouse. Jake reveals that he has gotten over his fear of vampires. While Marceline can still easily spook him, it's nice that Jake has finally come around to Marcy like Finn did in “Henchman”. I love how Finn and Jake both get separate mini-arcs throughout a few episodes before they each accept Marceline as a friend. Marceline not being able to go out in the sun (before they got lazy and just started photoshopping sunscreen bottles into title cards) is already enough of a barrier to work her into plots, we don’t need Jake’s fear as another one. They had a funny workaround in “It Came From the Nightosphere”, but I’m glad they retired it. I love how they still address this development. Most shows would have just given up on the running gag without an explanation to make writing episodes easier. 
In order to make Peebles jealous, Finn and Marcy pretend to have a great banter session outside Bubblegum’s window. This leads to our first ever interaction between Princess Bubblegum and Marceline, the second most iconic character duo in the series, and one of the most famous character dynamics in cartoon history. While it takes 103 episodes for Marceline to interact with Ice King, and 170 for Lumpy Space Princess, Marcy gets to interact with a member of the main cast that isn’t Finn and Jake in season two! Even without the context from future episodes, this scene gives a lot of clues to their relationship. There is clear tension between them. It is obvious they have a history, with Marceline calling PB by her first name, something we haven’t even seen Finn do up to this point. It’s satisfying seeing how well this scene works with information provided a decade later in “Obsidian”. Marceline likes to tease PB, and Bubblegum puts up a tough exterior to act like she doesn’t care about Marcy, like she did while Marcy first sang “Woke Up” in the Glass Kingdom. It’s obvious they’ve had multiple interactions similar to this over the hundreds of years since their break up. Finn’s newfound friendship with Marceline would only force these kinds of interactions to become more frequent. This is probably the most drastic example of an episode being impacted by a later installment in the series. And oh yeah, Princess Bubblegum’s first name is Bonnibel! I love how well her first name flows with Bubblegum. It’s nice having a shorter and easier name for her than “Princess Bubblegum” that isn’t just “PB”. I love getting pieces of character biography like names and ages dropped so casually.
Marceline just wants to get back at her ex as well as have fun messing with her impressionable friend like usual. Marceline literally says her reason for wanting to help is that “it'll be funny”. Of course Marcy knows that wrestling and wolves would do nothing but upset PB. She plays these pranks at the expense of Finn, but Marceline knows to not take Finn’s crush seriously in the first place. Her “advice” is as bad as Jake’s but she isn’t stupid like Jake. 
In the process of getting wolves for Marceline’s next plan, we see how much more compatible Finn is with Marcy than PB. They’re both fun, wild animals. Bubblegum reacts appropriately to Finn putting wolves in her room. It's sad seeing her ban Finn from the kingdom. She understands she is dealing with a child and that Finn has a good heart, so she keeps the door open for when Finn starts behaving better. She knows that Finn will come around and it feels more like a parent or teacher disciplining a misbehaving child. I’m sure Bubblegum realized that this was all Marcy’s doing soon enough anyway. On the other hand, the Finn Marceline pairing is a much more fun and refreshing dynamic when compared to PB and Finn. This is purposefully highlighted and something Finn comes to realize. After his latest failure, Marcy tells Finn to forget about Bonnie. I get the feeling that another motivation for Marceline was to sabotage Finn so he wouldn’t keep dealing with the heartache she knows comes with PB.
All of this sets up a fake out that the series would turn to start pushing Finn and Marceline as a romantic pairing. Finn goes to ask Marcy out to the movies instead. Someone getting this close to Marceline makes her uncomfortable. Her reaction is to try to scare Finn away, a tactic she internalized from when she thought she scared her mother away and reinforced in the downfall of her relationship with Princess Bubblegum. Marceline misinterprets Finn’s invitation as a romantic gesture. Marceline and Jake egging Finn on throughout the episode caused this. He is only barely 13, he isn’t ready for that! I like Jake rightfully feeling embarrassed for his actions. Marcy realizes Finn’s intentions and happily goes with Finn as friends. She still can’t give up messing with Finn, with the great “no tongue” comment that went right over his head. I’m very happy the series didn’t go for a Finn, PB, Marceline love triangle. It’s nice for Finn to have a female friend without any baggage. The episode teased Finnceline for the only time in the series, and then immediately shot it down forever. Well, forget about “Bad Little Boy”. I’ll discuss that episode’s implications when we get to it.                  
Finn and Marceline ditch movie night when confronted with the onslaught of make outs. They are truly perfect friends. The episode ends on wolves tearing apart the screen after a couple proclaims that nothing will ever tear them apart. There is a joke in Spongebob that is identical to this, with Plankton instead of the wolves. There is absolutely no way that it’s a coincidence. 
“Go With Me” is the third and sadly last Finn and Marceline duo episode. While I think “It Came From the Nightosphere” is the overall better episode, I think this is the best showcase of their relationship in the series. It's great seeing these character dynamics be explored in a more sitcom-y episode.

What if Hunter met Marcy? Would they both understand what it is like to be the unwilling hosts possessed by the Big Bads of their shows and forced to attack their own friends?
[Shortly after meeting at a con, Luz invited Marcy over to her house to meet the rest of her family, the Hexsquad]
Luz: So Marcy, this is my brother Hunter and based on what you and Anne told me, you both have something in common. In that you were both possessed by a bad guy.
Marcy: Really? How’d yours go? If you don’t mind me asking, you don’t have to answer or whatever.
Hunter: It’s fine, it’s just that I’m a magical clone of my uncle’s brother whom he killed when he found out that Caleb (me) married and was having a kid with a witch. Since then he’s made dozens of clones and killed them each time when they sympathize with the witches. When I found out my uncle’s secret he tried to kill me too. He possessed me in his goop form and mortally wounded my best friend before drowning me to get some Titan’s Blood. Luckily Flapjack saved me but by giving his life and magic to me. What about you?
Marcy: Oh I didn’t want to move away so I basically kidnapped my best friends to a world of talking amphibians. I was manipulated by King Andrias who was my friend and a father figure to me but he used some of the secrets I told him against me to separate me and my friends during his bad guy reveal. I tried to use the music box to open a portal for my friends to escape but he stabbed me through the chest. I would’ve died if he didn’t put me in a rejuvenation tank but that was also to heal me so I can be a puppet for the Core; a collection of Amphibia’s greatest minds. They kept me trapped in a mindscape and when I figured out it wasn’t real they put me in darkness. Luckily my friends saved me but not before I hurt Sasha and Grime real bad. The Core however was a sore loser and possessed the moon and tried to crash it into the planet but Anne went god-mode and destroyed it but then Sashy and I had to watch as our crush disintegrated into leaves.
Luz & Hunter:………………
Hunter putting a hand on Marcy’s shoulder: the moon huh? That’s rough buddy.

So for my SDMI au…before I begin I’d love some suggestions on what to call it!!! If you don’t know what I’m talking about this is the post where I explained it up to date so far. @fallenflowersfromgrace helped me flesh it out so shoutout to them!!!! Ur epic 😎😎
Anyways, au. I may have already said some of this stuff so sorry :]
So this may be split into a few posts! This post will focus on the current mystery gang and their new personalities.
The og Mystery Gang (im calling them og gang) are the protagonists of this au. The current gang, the one we all know and love, are somewhat antagonistic, at least later into the au.
Pericles betrayed (not?)mayor jones and got him sent to a maximum security prison, instead of the other way around. This in turn lets Brad and Judy stay in Crystal Cove, so they end up raising Fred and stop looking for the planispheric disc.
Brad and Judy go by Ben Sternum and Julie Sternum, though when nobody else is around they call each other their actual names.
Shaggy is much less of a slacker and more of an overworked student. Pericles made sure of that. Though he focuses less on the academic side of things and more on just getting work done. He is definitely very anxious because of high standards set by Pericles and his parents. He’s more irritable because of stress and can come off as a mean person sometimes. (Even though he’s pretty a pretty good dude) He eats a lot, like his canon version, but this time it’s out of stress. His parents are nicer to him but they are more strict and similar to how Jones treated Fred in way.
Velma is more introverted and doesn’t talk as much. She’s pretty bitter towards Pericles since he overshadows her a lot in their treasure hunt searches. She is somewhat competitive with her peers in school or stuff that would be considered “academic.” She still hangs out with the gang but to outsiders she can go unnoticed. Of course the gang always does her best to include her their treasure hunts. She hangs out with Marcie a lot in this au when she isn’t with the gang, and they DO have a lil something goin’ on <3.
Daphne is more rebellious towards her parents and is somewhat of a delinquent. She is more carefree but she doesn’t put up with people she doesn’t like. Velma introduced her to the Hex-girls when they were younger, and they were a big influence for her. Her parents obviously disapprove of rebellious behavior but she mostly refuses to listen to them in this au. She dates multiple guys throughout this au but she has a crush on Fred, though she doesn’t think he reciprocates the interest.
Fred has a similar personality to his canon version but it’s still different. He is slightly corrupted by curse like the rest of gang so he isn’t as kind as usual in this au, of course he isn’t deliberately rude to people. He’s more confident since Brad and Judy weren’t as neglectful as Jones. But they both have busy jobs as doctors so they can be sorta absent sometimes, and Fred is home alone a lot. He gets into trouble a lot ands often ends up in dangerous situations like breaking into abandoned buildings or hanging out in shady places. He has a crush on Daphne but doesn’t think he’ll end up with her considering how many cool guys she’s dated. He still likes nets and stuff, but instead of traps he’s more interested in stuff like archeology and finding treasure.
Anyways, in this au, the first season would have them be sorta antagonists but not necessarily villains, while the second one would have them be (reluctant) villains. This is due to Pericles needing some helpers with his planispheric disc plan— and also out of a sick nostalgia. The reason why they are complying is because he has demonstrated on a certain not Mayor what will happen if they don’t. Hot Dog Water is involved too, but she’ll be in another post.

He’s actually quite witty, especially whenever Sally says something stupid https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1993/08/07
Every time there’s a younger character, Charlie Brown tends to be there for them - from Schroeder, to Lucy, Linus, Sally, and now Rerun: https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1995/04/05 bro this guy’s nurturing
He mostly wears red in the colored strips (not the colored reruns- and I’m not referring to the character Rerun) https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1996/10/20 - https://schulzmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/PeanutsByNumbers.pdf

Schroeder
Kissed Lucy on the cheek after she gave him a cupcake for Beethoven’s B-day https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1984/12/16 - I legitimately cannot explain this one as it is so supremely out of character; the best I can do is say he just went insane from Lucy’s delusional ramblings and general abuse or he just felt particularly generous during his beloved holiday
According to himself, is a bit serious : https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1983/01/01
Disapproves of Charlie being in love… I’m taking that out of context and will be interpreting it as jealousy; https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1990/09/12
Has cute interactions with Snoopy and Woodstock more frequently w/o much dialogue; https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1987/09/29 (this one is the wordiest)
https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1992/03/07 but unironically
They spend time together besides baseball still; https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1988/01/03 https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1988/04/18
Continues to support Charlie Brown https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1990/05/18, by calling him “low-key,” https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1988/03/29, and also doing this: https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1987/08/11 - https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1996/07/10 - https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1996/07/16 (I think he checked on Charlie before some time ago when Charlie was hurt too but I’m unsure) - https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1996/10/03 - https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1996/10/04 [so sweet] - https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1994/08/05 - https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1997/06/21
Is sarcastic to Charlie Brown still but hey, pretty nice considering things: https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1990/08/24 - https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1993/04/18
He starts becoming more blunt in the later comics and pulling the piano from under Lucy
https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1993/08/08 there’s something Schroelie here but I can’t quite figure it out - context wise, Charlie is still “dating” Peggy Jean at this time and is also pushing his luck with the red haired girl
Schroelie: https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1993/03/21
He likes to walk up and say random shit to Charlie Brown: https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1993/04/06 - https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1995/09/25 - https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1996/04/28 - https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1990/07/12 - https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1997/05/03

Good day/night! What about... Marceline's (from adventure time) platonic relationship with Princess Bubblegum's little sister aka the reader?
(The reader is an early teenager, who's age is between 11 and 14 years old)
SISTER, SISTER (MARCELINE X FEM! READER/PLATONIC)
Tumblr media
warnings: none just cute warning
y/n absolutely adores marceline and wants to be just as cool as she is
Y/n hears the familiar laugh of a vampire and runs quickly to her sisters side. Her small hands grab onto Bubblegum’s gown as she hides behind the fabric of the dress. She looks at Marceline who had yet to notice her presence.
“Y/n did you say hi to Marcy?” Bubblegum says catching the Marceline’s attention.
Y/n waves and awkwardly mumbles, “Good evening Marceline.” Bubblegum smiles at her sister and pats her head. Y/n absolutely adored her big sister and her girlfriend. Marcy was just so cool! And y/n was just a little dweeb.
“Hey short stack. You been giving Pb a hard time?” Marceline smiles at the younger girl who shakes her head no. She’s practically beaming at the smile Marcy gives her. Y/n strived for the approval of both older girls.
“I was wondering if you could show me how to play bass?” Y/n mumbles while playing with the hem of her dress. Bubblegum tilted her head slightly, she had no idea her sister had any inclination to play base. Especially having Marceline teach her.
Marceline thinks for a moment before smiling at the girl. “Of course! I’d be honored to teach a princess, but that’s if it’s okay with Bubblegum.” They both turn towards her expectantly.
“I suppose it would be good for your studies y/n. Music is a very good thing to learn, I dabble in music here and there.” Y/n lights up at her sisters answer. She would get to hang out with Marcy and learn bass. That’s so cool.
“Yay! Thank you so much Bubblegum! I’m gonna be so cool just like Marcy!” Marceline picks up the young princess and starts to float around, not high enough for it to be dangerous though.
“Yeah you’re gonna be cool. Just like me. And who’s cooler than me?” Pb watches the two of them with content. She was glad they were getting along so well. Bubblegum did everything for her sister. She was the last of the family she created which meant she held her close in fears of losing her too.
Even though Bubblegum would never say it out loud, she was a bit jealous though at how much her younger sister looked up to Marceline. Was she not cool enough for her? It hurt her feelings just a bit. Not enough for her to outwardly say something, but enough for it to sting when she wanted to hang out with the vampire and not her.
Perhaps it was just a children thing. Finn too found Marceline cool and exciting even though he enjoyed spending time with Bubblegum because of the boyish crush he harbored for her. Bubblegum true to her nature would remain silent. It’s not like y/n could grow out of that anyways. She was to remain a child forever. Much like she would never age past this point.
“Ya know what how about the three of us go to get some grub. I’m starving. Fries sound kind of good right now.” Marceline floats over to her girlfriend with a giggling y/n still in her arms.
“Fries are my favorite!” She shouts happily wanting to be just like the older girl she admired. Bubblegum smiles happily.
“That sounds like a good idea Marcy. Y/n hasn’t eaten all day.”
It was true, she was so nervous when she heard Marceline was coming over she spent the whole day trying to find a cool outfit to wear. “Can I get a cool bass like yours Marcy?”
The vampire chuckles and puts the younger girl down. “Of course short stack. We can start a band and everything. Marceline the Vampire Queen and y/n the Gumdrop Princess.” Y/n was beaming with excitement.
“Come on let’s go! What are you slow pokes waiting for?” Y/n rushes the two older girls and pulls them along. Everything just felt perfect. Bubblegum giggles at her sisters excitement and smiles at Marceline. She mouths a silent ‘thank you’ making the vampire heat up in the face.
“Yeah Pb it’s no prob.”

Think I Need Someone Older
Now Playing: Older
Pairing(s): F! OC Kylie Marcie Rossi-Brown x Moot! OC Lucas Fox
Tumblr media
CW: Ageless and MDNI, explicit smut, vaginal fingering, piv sex, protected sex, oral (m), cowgirl (yeehaw), mild edging, slight angst at the end, hair pulling, finger sucking, slight ass and thigh smacking, cursing, darcyphillia, mild aftercare, Lucas is a man-whore, consenting adults, legal drinking, no drinking and driving, legal age gap (6 years. Kylie is 24, Lucas is 30). No Beta We Die Like Men. Useful links: What Kylie is wearing, what Lucas is wearing. A/N: Collab with @going-to-ikea-for-the-fries, even if she tries to deny it (argue with the wall Kea >:)) She gave me such brain worms that I had to write this before I imploded. My first time writing smut and I’m pulling every kink in the books out.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR CONTENT CONSUMPTION, YOU ARE. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Tumblr media
History was the one subject Kylie could not find herself to love, if she wanted to hear about boring shit, she would’ve called her grandfather. It didn’t help that she was required to take an elective for her undergrad degree. History or art. Stare at paintings, or create them? Stare. At least then she can daydream. “Kylie!” Kylie sits up with a start, eyes wide. Her father one of her fathers, Michael, stares back at her. “Had me worried for second there,” He smiles. “Are you sure you’ll be okay by yourself? Me and you Dad, we can always stay for few days before our flight back to New York.” His full, dark brown eyebrows pinch together, enhancing his wrinkles. She playfully rolls her eyes. “Like I said before, I’ll be fine Pa,” She reassures him, “besides, my roommate will be here by the time I get back from orientation.” She grabs his hand in both of hers, giving him a reassuring smile. Michael sighs before smiling back at her. His husband, Smith comes up behind him. They say their goodbyes, Kylie watching from her dorm window as they leave, hand in hand. A shriek from behind Kylie reverbs through her skull. As she turns her head, she sees a short blond woman around her age stand in the doorway. “You’re the exchange student, Kylie Brown, right!?” The girl runs up to her and engulfs Kylie in a bone-crushing hug.
“Uh,” Kylie shuffles her hands around the woman’s back before setting them on her shoulders, slightly pushing her away. “It’s Kylie Rossi-Brown, and uh, nice to meet you too?” “It’s great! I’m Nora Goodwin, I’m a nursing major too! I think that’s why they put us together, honestly.” Nora talked a mile a minute and breathed for less. Kylie was getting dizzy for her. “Oh!” Nora perks up and oh god how does she still have things to talk about? “The entire class of nursing undergrads are going to the pub tonight, you have to come with!”
Nora’s brown eyes were hard to ignore, and Kylie felt herself flush at the sight. A small, pretty girl begging her? Sign her the fuck up. Kylie sighs, “Sure, what time?”
Tumblr media
The pub is packed when Kylie walks in. As if 9pm is still early for English. She shuffles her way through the crowd, her American accent drawing stares; or maybe it was her dress, who knows. Nora spots her first, sitting up in the booth and waving at Kylie. As she nears, she crosses paths was a hard wall chest. “I am so sor-” Kylie stops when she looks at who she bumped into. Of course, of fucking course she walks into the hottest fucking guy she’s ever seen. The man is taller than her, about six foot, blue-green eyes, and has the brightest red hair she’s ever seen; bright as fire. The man looks her up and down slowly before stopping at her own eyes. “It’s nothing, darling.” And then walks away, as if it was nothing. Kylie is left standing there, mouth gaping, until Nora calls her name again. As Kylie approaches the booth, Nora raises her eyebrows at her.
“What? Why are you giving me that look?”
Nora pulls her down next to her. “Because that guy totally was staring at ass when you walked away!” Kylie gapes like a fish back at Nora. No way, Nuh uh. She turns head and yep. Yeah, the red head is staring at her, his eyes darkened. Oh shit.
Tumblr media
“Think I need someone older,”
Everything after turned into a blur. Kylie learned his name was Lucas, and he definitely liked whiskey, with how strong the taste of him was. Kylie never thought her first year in England would start with her fucking some stranger in the backseat of his convertible, but she wasn’t complaining. Lucas trails sloppy kisses down her throat, pushing her cardigan down her shoulders. A moan bubbles in her throat as his teeth scrape against her collarbone. Turtlenecks are in her future, it seems. Lucas hums against her neck. “Pretty, do it again.” Before she can ask what he means, he drags the top of her dress down, her tits spilling out and her nipples hardening from the cold air. The squeak she lets out was music to Lucas’s ears. His hands engulf her breast, the fat of them spilling out between his fingers. Kylie moves her hips back and forth, grinding on his growing bulge. She lets out a whine as the rough material of his slacks rubs the delicate lace of her panties against her clit. “Take the weight off your shoulders,”
Kylie wiggles down his body until she is level with the bugle in his stacks. She undoes his belt and pants, pulling his cock out. She strokes him a few times before wrapping her lips around the head. Lucas rumbles, tipping his head back. Kylie brings her head down until she reaches the base, gagging around him. Lucas hisses at the feeling of her constricting throat. Her eyes roll back into her skull, gurgling around his member. Lucas’s eye darken, his pupils blown. “You like that don’t you, darling?”
Kylie gurgles again in response bobbing her head. He runs his hands through her dirty blonde curls, grabbing a fistful and moving her head up and down his length.
Lucas pulls her off of him and brings his hand down on the fat of her thigh, cause her to squeal in response. “Up,” he growls, making Kylie clench around nothing. She raises up onto her knees, and her hands immediately go to his shirt, raising it. One of Lucas’s hands travel up the skirt of her dress, squeezing the gloves of her ass, the other tangles itself in her hair, pulling her down for sloppy style kiss. It’s a clashing of teeth, drool dripping down Kylie’s chin. “Think I need someone older.”
“Please,” Kylie gasps, “please fuck me,” she whines. Lucas groans, shoving her panties to the side. He runs two fingers between her soaked folds before pushing a thick finger in. She gasps, tipping her head back from the feeling. She rocks back and forth on his finger, and when he curls his finger in a come hither motion- she feels like she’s about to burst. Lucas adds another, curling them and bringing his thumb into mix by rubbing her clit in quick strokes. She chokes on sobs as his pace quickens, three fingers bringing her closer to the edge, and right before her peak, Lucas cruelly rips his hand away. She fully sobs at that, pouting at him. He gives Kylie a stupid half smile before he lifts her up by the hips, rolling a condom on.
“Still good, darling?” “If you don’t fuck me now, I’m walking back into that pub.”
Lucas laughs at that, like he knew she was full of shit. She was. “Yeah I guess my age just don’t do the same,”
He enters her in a single swift thrust, bottoming out easily. Lucas bites back a moan at the feel of her warm walls, while Kylie openly moans out at the stretch.
“I’m young and that’s okay,”
Kylie waits for a moment, slowly grinding on his lap, the short red hair there scratching her it just right. She leans back and starts off with a small raise of her hips, before slamming back down, drawing a mewl out of her throat when his cock hits the bundle of nerves within. She places her hands on his thighs and picks up the pace, bouncing on Lucas’s lap. Her breasts jolt with every movement, until he grabs them back into his hands, giving her nipples a squeeze. She cries and whimpers as her orgasm draws closer again. Her cunt barely lets him move, and down right chokes his cock when he places his thumb back on her clit.
“Darling hold me while you wipe my tears,”
She cries out, her hips bucking. “Shut the fuck up,” Lucas hissed at her, shoving two fingers in her mouth. Kylie moans and gurgles around his fingers, shoving her head forward to take them deeper. Lucan moans at the feeling of her cunt, and her mouth sucking his fingers. It only takes a few more well aimed bounces before Kylie is writhing and cumming around his cock. He grabs her hips and roughly thrusts up into her, until he finally spills into the condom with a groan. They sit there and catch their breath for a moment before Lucas lifts Kylie off of his lap, causing her to whimper at the emptiness.
He leans into the front and grabs a small waste bag and a box of tissues. Kylie begins to wonder how many people he’s fucked in the backseat of his car. Lucas hands her the box of tissues while he removes the condom and places himself back into his slacks. She takes that as her hint to clean herself up. “Just a little bit colder,”
Lucas opens the door, stepping outside. He leans back in and looks at her. “Wait 5 minutes and then come back inside. Won’t be suspicious then. I’ll lock up when you’re back.” He leaves, but not before giving her a wink. She sits there for a moment, processing what just happened. And then she sees it. A tissue stuffed into her cardigan. She unravels it to his phone number? What the fuck?
Tumblr media
Kylie tries her best to not wobble as she makes her way into the pub. It’s still busy, but she can clearly see Nora practically buzzing in her seat with excitement. As Kylie nears the girl, she finds a glass of water where she had been sitting. Nora lights up when Kylie sits down, slower than when she first got there.
“You have to tell me everything!” Nora grabs onto her arm, shaking her slightly. As Kylie look across from her, she see Lucas staring back at her from the bar. God Bless England.

Im curious, how does Randy interact with everybody else? or how would you describe his personality in this AU? I'm very fond of dinamic changes and I need to know how the "having no friends" affected him
I'm a sucker for AUs I wish I had time to draw them all together YOUR AU ROCKSS
THANKS!! I LOVE TALKING ABOUT IT, AND IM GLAD OTHERS LIKE IT AS WELL!!!
Randy I'd say is still his upbeat self, just a little more... Crazy... And even though he didn't have friends growing up, instead of it making him socially awkward and unable to talk to people, I think it just made him REALLY bad at telling his own and others emotions (think entrapta from She-Ra).
I'd also like to list his interactions with others and what he thinks of them/what they think of him. (Little bit of a long list)
Viceroy - Randy sees Viceroy as a father figure of sorts. Viceroy was the one to pick him up when he was at his lowest, and for that he feels indebted to him (much to Viceroy's displeasure. Because to Viceroy, Randy also feels like his son, and he doesn't want him feeling like he's OBLIGATED to stay with him and work for McFist).
They have a good and strong relationship, and their idea of bonding is building robots to destroy the Ninja while laughing manically + bitching about McFist.
McFist - I already talked about their relationship, but they don't get along swimmingly, especially at first. They ATTEMPT to have a professional relationship, and they manage half the time.
Marci - Marci and Randy get along really well (which pisses McFist off) when they're together, which isn't much actually. Randy mainly visited the McFists when he was young (about 12) and Viceroy dragged him along. Now they really only see eachother sparingly during work hours (they love to chit-chat and catch up though).
Bash - They don't really know much about each other, but they know OF each other. The most they've ever really spoken was when McFist got tired of having to babysit Bash and just left him with Randy for a "playdate". (McFist deeply regretted this later, as Randy had managed to convince Bash to slip Turmeric into all his fancy soaps)
Howard - Howard and Randy are still VERY good friends in my AU. They first met eachother at "Greg's Game Hole" (or more accurately the "Food Hole") where they manage to strike up a conversation. Howard actually manages to find out Randy's homeschooled because of his attitude and weird questions.
After this revelation, Howard starts telling Randy EXTREMELY exaggerated things about what school like. They quickly exchanged numbers and become close friends. (And Viceroy is ECSTATIC that he's made a friend)
Julian - Randy got introduced to Julian through Howard. They both bond quickly because they both aren't really considered "normal" by most peoples standards. They were also both (in a sense) raised by the Internet, and know dumb, niche references Howard does not (he's not too happy to be left out of the joke).
(And because I'm a sucker for juliandy) I think Julian would develop a crush on Randy after some time, but because of Randy's stupid, lizard brain, Julian could literally be like "You're like the sun, your smile is so warm it could warm up even the coldest of hearts, and for that, I love you" and then Randy would say some shit like "Aww, you're my best friend too, Julian!" (He's trying, but his skull is EMPTY)
Julian was also VERY surprised to not only learn that his crushes dad was the one who kept trying to destroy him, but his crush TOO was trying to destroy him. (He gets along with Viceroy for Randy's sake)
Ninja - I feel like he wouldn't really have a hatred towards the ninja, more like "strange fixation" as he describes it (his ass does NOT know how a celebrity crush works).
And his love language is sending out killer robots <3
(ask if you want me to explain his relationship with someone who's not here, I will gladly do so)

Fandom: Amphibia (Cartoon) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Anne Boonchuy/Sasha Waybright, Anne Boonchuy/Sasha Waybright/Marcy Wu (background/one-sided) Characters: Sasha Waybright, Anne Boonchuy Additional Tags: Party, First Kiss, Post-Canon, but pre-epilogue. theyre in high school, Fluff and Angst, Bittersweet, Late Night Conversations, Lesbian Anne Boonchuy, Bisexual Sasha Waybright, Coming Out, Love Confessions, Childhood Friends, if there an opposite to angst with a happy ending. like. fluff with a sad ending. that, one-sided means both anne and sasha have a crush on marcy btw Summary: Sasha raised her solo cup and Anne clinked her can to it. They both tilted their heads back at the same time and drank. Despite the long absence, they were still in sync. It hurt Sasha’s heart, just a bit. “Anyways, I was sent over here to drag you to play Spin the Bottle,” Anne said. Despite her words, she didn’t seem particularly intent on taking Sasha anywhere, just fidgeting with the tab of her energy drink. Her heel bounced against the ground at the same time. “Should you be drinking caffeine this late?” Or at all went unsaid. “It’s not like it’s a school night,” Anne replied and Sasha snorted. “Fair enough.” She picked at her cup, wiping away lipstick marks from the white rim of it. “I don’t really wanna play Spin the Bottle.” “Yeah, I don’t either.” Sasha hadn't spoken to Anne in a long time, hadn't spent much time with her since Marcy had moved. Still, it was all too easy to sneak under the bleachers with her and ignore the rest of the world for a while.
i didnt think id ever end up? writing an amphibia fic? but then i got possessed by some strange beast at like 1 am last night and wrote a majority of this before falling asleep at 3:30 XD finished it up this morning and im posting now before i have to go to work :] sashanne. it haunts me so. dearly beloveds <3

Why do you ship EddEddy when in canon we have the very harmonic friendship of Eds? What's interesting about the dynamic between Edd and Eddy, if Ed isn't there, it's pretty boring without him.
I'll talk about this in much more detail after I rewatch the show a few more times and make my video talking about EddEddy, BUT here's some of what I have to say about it:
Yes! I agree that they have a very harmonious friendship, all of them together. They're soulmates and they love each other very much. I really envy what they have because it's something so perfect and beautiful. The show is about Ed, Edd and Eddy, but I think it's very clear that:
1) Eddy's the main character
2) The show focuses more on his relationship with Double D, especially from season 5 onwards
They work well both as the three together and as separate duos too. Each duo has a different dynamic, and from my perspective, Double D and Eddy have a dynamic that involves mutual romantic feelings (that they're not yet aware of), which I don't see between Ed and Double D or Ed and Eddy. To be more clear, it seems to me that Ed has or may have a crush on Double D and Eddy (there are a number of scenes that indicate this), but I don't see them reciprocating, feeling the same way about him. And believe me, I really wanted to ship them. I love polyamorous relationships (Anne, Sasha and Marcy from Amphibia are a great example, I think the three of them have a clear interest in each other), I love edt3 fanarts, I think they're cute together, BUT I just can't see them working together as a polyamorous couple because I don't see Double D or Eddy being romantically interested in Ed at any point of the show or even in the future because it doesn't seem to be heading in that direction (I think that in Big Picture Show it even becomes a little uncomfortable how much Eddy specifically refers to Double D even when Ed is with them, which already happened in other moments of the show (and Double D specifically referring to Eddy as well) and intensified in the movie, but it's another factor that seems to indicate how emotionally close the two are, in a way beyond friendship...).
I want to make it clear that I disagree with the view that romance is more important than friendship. I don't think boyfriends/girlfriends/romantic partners or love interests are above friends, they're just different equally important dynamics. When I talk about this, I don't mean in any way that Double D and Eddy's relationship is better or more important, or that Ed is less important to them or less loved by them, they're just relationships and feelings with different natures and ways of functioning. So please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Double and Eddy like each other more than they like Ed, I'm just saying they have a different dynamic and type of relationship, and different types of relationship usually mean different ways of interacting, and usually romantic relationships imply on more intimacy (both physical and emotional), and that's what I see happening with Double D and Eddy. There are certainly things in the relationship between Ed and Double D that Double D doesn't or can't have with Eddy, and things in the relationship between Ed and Eddy that Eddy doesn't or can't have with Double D. As I said, each duo has their own dynamic, their own unique and exclusive specificities that they can't get with their other duo, and all three love each other deeply and equally, just in different ways. That's all.
To me, Double D and Ed's relationship follows more of a mother-son dynamic (sometimes brotherly too), and Ed and Eddy have a more brotherly dynamic (@gettingfrilly made a really good post talking about it in more detail, about how Eddy's like a younger brother to Ed because he's very much like Sarah but unlike her he shows that he likes Ed and has fun with him, and how Ed's like the supportive and affectionate big brother that Eddy didn't have). I think the show makes it very clear that Double D and Eddy are supposed to have a couple dynamic, whether as a joke/comic relief or in a serious way. It's very visible to me that their relationship is supposed to give this huge old married couple who always disagree and fight energy, and even Ed often seems to look at them as if he's finding their excessive closeness strange, either shipping them or wanting to participate too.
Someone pointed it out already, but I think it's very relevant to note that the only times Eddy cries throughout the entire show is because of or related to Double D (I'm talking about emotional crying, not crying from physical pain). @gettingfrilly also made another post that I really like and completely agree with about Eddy and empathy. I recommend reading it. Anyway, Eddy's not a very emotional character at all because as we know, he's always trying to repress the feelings that make him "fragile" and to imitate his brother. He tries to act cool, to be superior and better than everyone, to be very manly, so he can't cry, he can't be a sissy, he can't be sensitive, vulnerable and emotional, he has to be tough, he has to be a man, he has to be unbreakable and unbeatable, he has to be self-centered, he can't be compassionate, empathetic and caring, and I personally think that in the end, whether we like it or not, he ends up absorbing all of this into his personality because that's how he was raised and conditioned from a very early age, and that's how he coped with it, so being self-centered and feeling uncomfortable dealing with and showing these types of emotions is now part of Eddy's personality, even though he doesn't feel good about being that way. He's spent most of his life having this distorted perception that acting like this is the normal way to be and treat others, that acting like this is "cool" because it's how his beloved, precious brother acted, so it's very complicated for Eddy to deconstruct this within himself now, and in fact it's already a bit late to actually change this because his personality has already been shaped and built, and all he can do now is remind himself to be more sensitive and care more about others. Being kind and empathetic is not something that comes naturally or easily to him, but rather a task he needs to rationalize and remember to do, and even in the few moments when he shows that he at least cares about Ed and Double D, his way of expressing affection usually comes in the form of practical actions rather than affectionate words, so sometimes it can seem like he doesn't care when he actually does, or that he has a very cold, insensitive and crude way of showing affection. It's necessary to teach him the way friends act toward each other, teach him about acting with affection and love. He needs people, most of the time Double D, to tell him how and why what he did is bad and harmful to others, but there are many moments when you can see a genuine effort on his part to try to understand, improve and show that it wasn't his intention to cause any harm, after all, this only makes others dislike him, and he doesn't want that. Eddy's desperate for acceptance and being liked by everyone, which conflicts with his "I don't give a shit about anyone but myself" way of being and acting, and being the way he is keeps everyone away from him and makes them not like him, so he suffers a lot being in this limbo between "I don't care about others" and "everyone has to like me".
Anywaaay, back to the main topic: the fact that the only times this character who struggles so much with all of this cried had something to do with Double D says a lot about how intimate he feels with him. Double D and Eddy seem to share a very strong emotional as well as physical intimacy. Sure, it's part of the show that the characters in general have a lot of physical contact, so it's something a little difficult to analyze, BUT the impression I have is that Double D and Eddy still have more scenes with physical contact, and their type of physical contact also seems more intimate to me, more romantic... (I mean, just watch the final scene of BPS of them holding hands looking into each other's eyes. It's pretty obvious).
The person also pointed out how emotionally attached Eddy is to Double D, and that's so true. Double D messes with Eddy's emotions in a very interesting way. He "messes up" everything that Eddy learned as his truth and that was established, awakens many things in Eddy, brings out the best side of him making him have to think and reflect more about things, people and the impact of his actions. Despite also having a lot to learn and improve, Double D has a lot of emotional maturity and responsibility and tends to have a very careful and kind way of dealing with people. Although this way of him being what Eddy understands as "sissy" and is often the target of his mockery or he even appears angry when Double D acts like this, Eddy can't help but feel embraced and comfortable with Double D's affection, sensitivity and support in a way he seems to have never felt before considering his history with his brother and his difficulties and cluelessness about affection and love. Yes, Ed's also a very affectionate person, I'd say even more than Double D. They both like to express affection physically, but while Ed's more like a clingy, happy child or puppy with lots of love to give (mainly physical) and silly things to say and do to put a smile on people's faces to make them feel better, Double D has a more "therapist" and "maternal" side. He's very conscious and attentive, he takes care of people, provides support and a safe space, analyzes situations and tries to help with understanding, counseling and kind words. All this almost unnatural excess of kindness and support is something that Eddy is definitely not used to and finds very strange, but it makes him feel good without him realizing it, as throughout the show we see him frequently turning to Double D when he feels lost, confused, frustrated or scared, as if he sees Double D as a great source of emotional support to help him feel better and get back on track, and as his guide to better understand situations and solve problems. Obviously this isn't something exclusive to couples, but this type of dynamic indicates a very great intimacy and is usually more characteristic of romantic relationships, being another factor that makes their relationship seem to tend more toward romance.
There are many other things, but I prefer to save them for when I make my EddEddy video.
"What's interesting about the dynamic between Edd and Eddy"
Wow I really like this subject because to me this is one of the biggest reasons why they have so much chemistry and are so good together and to each other. I don't want to talk about this in much detail because I want to save that for my video, but basically: Double D and Eddy have some very opposite traits that complement each other, and they have a lot of growth and character development because of their differences interacting together. The show focuses on their relationship because their character development mostly depends on each other. Double D is good where Eddy has to grow and mature, and Eddy is good where Double D has to grow and mature. They have so much to offer and teach each other, and that's what they do by living together daily for years. They unintentionally learn from each other and help each other improve and work on their bad aspects/tendencies, and achieve greater balance in their personalities and behaviors, helping each other not to lean too much in one direction and too little in the other. I think that many of the things they both hate about each other are actually things they deep down admire and even envy about each other (Eddy gets angry and mocks when Double D is smart and uses his extensive vocabulary, but in "Once Upon an Ed" he makes it very clear how he'd like to be smart and use "fancy words" like him, or even be smarter than him, because Double D's intelligence actually makes him feel inferior and dumb. And Double D complains about Eddy's stubbornness but shows that he feels uncomfortable with his own lack of attitude and that he'd like to be more determined, less of a people pleaser and stand up for himself more like Eddy, in addition to him seeming to try to imitate Eddy in many moments, acting with Eddy in a similar way to how Eddy acts with him). The answer is to balance their qualities and flaws, because they complement each other perfectly. And as many say, Ed is the glue that keeps the trio together. He's a crucial piece in their group. In fact, they all are, each of them plays a very important role. @gettingfrilly made another great post (I'm starting to realize how we share similar thoughts xD) about what happens if each duo doesn't have their third Ed. Please read it because I couldn't put it in better words.
Well, as I said before, the three Eds love each other intensely and equally, just in different ways. Even though Double D and Eddy have a romantic relationship, they all need each other and don't function well forever as just the two of them. They work well separately, but just in the short term, as something momentary. They are meant to be a trio and this is how they truly reach their full potential.
