#they're all gonna get written at some point but idk what to start with

[il-miele-che-scrive]

Lando Norris and [Y/n] Wolff are an on-and-off thing, fans think they're all good after [Y/n] releases a song supposedly about Lando, but they forget he's not the only Brit on the grid.

username1 HE LAUGHS AT ALL MY JOKES

↳username2 AND HE SAYS I'M SO AMERICAN

username3 sorry but in which part is y/n american?

↳username1 her mother, Y/m/n Y/l/n, is American and Y/n spent most of her life in the US after Y/m/n and Toto divorced

username3 oooh good to know, thank you!!

username4 I'm so happy to know Y/n and Lando are still together after all

↳username5 But they were never official

username4 But it's obvious! They were seen on dates many times, hanging out around Monaco, not to mention every time Y/n is in the paddock she spends more time in the McLaren garage than Mercedes'

username6 my fav nepo baby <3

username7 damn Lando must be doing a good job lol

username8 Y/n finally released a love song, everybody thank Lando

username9 Weren't there rumours about them being over forever just during the winter break?

↳username10 Toto would find a way to get Lando kicked out of F1 if he ever broke Y/n's heart lmao

username9 What does Toto gotta do with McLaren?

username10 He's rich? Lol

username9 And? Stroll's daddy is rich as well yet he can't make idk Verstappen disappear lol rich doesn't mean he can do anything he wants

username11 Guys I have a bad feeling, we actually haven't seen them together in a long time , I'm afraid they might be actually broken up for good

↳username6 I wouldn't read too much into it, Y/n studies in Monaco so she isn't able to attend races right now

username11 You sure? Y/n hasn't made a single appearance since the season started

username6 The season started in the middle of her uni year lol you ever thought of that?

↳username7 this is literally a love song, how are we even wondering if they broke up? she wouldn't release this if they were done

username6 THIS!! I feel like this song is a confirmation from Y/n that all is good, maybe she was tired of people talking if they're broken up or not

username5 Then why don't they make it official?

username6 that's not a question i can answer

username12 "I'll go anywhere he goes" then why aren't you attending races miss girl? Education can wait

↳username2 lmao it literally can't wait

username13 "the books you read" ma'am, Lando looks like he hasn't touched a single book his whole life

↳username12 And it's not like he dresses that well either, his style is nothing special

username1 All men are the same I swear

↳username2 nooo I swear there are good ones, but that's just not Lando

username3 excuse me sir, y/n has just written a love song about you

username4 NOOOO THE WAY HE PUT HIS HAND ON THE GIRL'S LOWER BACK

↳username1 Him and Y/n are done frfr 😭

username5 Do we know who the girl is?

↳f1gossip Not yet, but I'm sure we'll know in no time

username6 Wtf is wrong with you, it's not her fault Lando can't focus on one woman

username7 But there's no way she didn't know about him and Y/n ;)

username6 There is/was no "Lando and Y/n", they never confirmed a relationship

username8 He's just won in Miami, I was hoping they'd make it official after that :(

↳username9 Sameeee it would be so cool

↳username10 Literally same, it'd be perfect

username11 Lando Norris, you disappoint me again

↳username12 at this point Y/n must be used to that lmao poor girl I hope she finds someone better

username13 WHAT DOES TOTO SAY ABOUT IT?

↳username3 Whats he supposed to say? Y/n is a grown woman, stop treating her like a baby

username14 I swear if we see Y/n back again with him after THIS I'm gonna break some dishes

↳username15 Yeah I hope she'll find some self respect and finally leave his ass

username16 Y/n I beg you to leave him, the d can't be THAT fire

username5 Oh apparently he deleted it already lol it was a story

username5 Anyway he posted like a lowkey thirst trap pic and the music he added was Tumblr girls by g eazy lmao

username4 Boohoo consequences of his own actions catching up

username5 Yeahh and he especially chose the verse that goes like "fucking off and on, always stop and go, probably got someone, choose not to know"

username6 Guys, I say we take in consideration the possibility of 'so american' being about George

landonorris Monaco weekend 🇲🇨☀

username1 Why do I feel like he posted this just so people think Y/n was there with him even though there's not a single pic of her? 😂

↳username2 Bro why he want her when he can't have her anymore?

username3 get over it, it's your fault

username4 I feel like he's tryna say "Hey guys look, Y/n took these pics" but why would we believe it 💀

↳username1 Exactly!! We all KNOW she most likely spent the day with George

username5 Now all i think about when i see Lando is the story he deleted 😭

↳username6 totally hahah he literally called Y/n a bitch but also admitted that he can't help wanting other girls

username7 Wait when did this happen? When did he say that?

username6 he never said that, it's lyrics of a song he posted but quickly deleted

username5 He immediately regretted hahah

username8 @/maxfewtrell Tell Lando to behave, why are you even helping him with this bullshit?

username9 It's too late, you had your chance FOR HALF A YEAR and still chose to lead Y/n on, now she got someone else and you're being petty

↳username10 She let him lead her on for half a year? Damn it he should pay for her therapy

username9 I feel like she really hoped she can change him but realized "if you can't change the man, change the man"

username10 Very accurate lmao

username11 Guys, I believe Y/n and Lando were a thing for much more time than half a year, it was going on for at least a year, they were just very secretive about it

username9 Well, good for her to finally get out of this shit, she deserves so much better and I hope George will give her that

username1 I bet Toto loves his new son in law

↳username2 He has to be very relieved to know Y/n chose George eventually

username3 We still don't know if they're dating, remember George drives for Mercedes

username4 I really hope Lando is crying rn

username5 Now Lando for sure can't trick us into thinking Y/n was with him lmao

username6 I love George for saving Y/n

username7 I love them, they're all so old money, Y/n and George are a great match

username8 MY DELULU IS BECOMING TRULULU

username9 This is our confirmation that so american is about George

username10 I feel like Y/n upgraded at some point but at one point also downgraded

↳username2 Let's not talk about it, we should be happy for her and George, at least he won't treat her like an option

username11 George is literally THE MAN for Y/n, I'm so glad she finally realized that

↳username12 Chill, let's not assume stuff before we have any statement from them, we all know where assuming can get us

username13 This is my old money dream

username14 HEAR ME OUT but I'd actually love to see George and Y/n get married one day

↳username12 THIS is exactly where assuming can get us

yn_wolff Oh you'll like him, he's really kind andhe's funny like you sometimes, and I found someone I really like maybe for the first time

[darcyfangirlsfrequently]

All right, so I like to have multiple WIPs because sometimes I'm just not in the mood to write a specific one, so it gives me options, so I'm letting you guys pick which one I write first. (Spoiler alert: They're all CM, most of them are Garvez.)

Forgiveness: This is post-13x20, and Garcia is crying about her brother being angry at her after learning what happened to their parents. She says one of the things that hurts the most is that her parents died disappointed in her. JJ mentions the case from season 12 where the bullies' families were being killed, and how the first girl had something similar, her mother's last text to her was "I'm disappointed in you." She then goes on to explain that "disappointed in you" is the wrong phrase, because she has children, and she has never been disappointed in them, but in some of their decisions. "They weren't disappointed in you, they were disappointed in your choice. You are not your teenaged poor decisions." (one shot)

Meet the Family: A few years after getting together, Luke and Penelope go down to California to visit her brothers, this is his first time meeting them. They absolutely adore him, there's a lot of shipping and sibling teasing, it's great. She also takes him to her parents' grave to "meet her parents" and they have a little picnic. This does turn into a proposal fic, just saying. (multi-chapter)

Sensitivities: This is a canon divergence where Luke and Penelope are already dating in season 14. Based on the line "Oh, Luke, no one has time for my sensitivities." (bc apparently I'm obsessed with that line and scene in particular because GOD have you seen it??? Garvez as FUCK.) Essentially emotional hurt/comfort fluff because god help me I'm a sap. (one shot)

Abby Jenkins: Luke's niece is kidnapped, and when she's found, she says some things to Penelope that make her think. Luke's sister also makes an appearance, and there's a lot of nice family shit and teasing and Garvez anf good times. Very OC heavy, and not really a case fic, but has case elements. (either long one shot or multi-chapter, haven't decided.)

Mrs. Alvez: A Garvez secret marriage fic. Luke is injured in the field, and while Matt waits in the hospital, the doctor informs him he's called Luke's wife and she'll be there promptly. He calls their new tech to learn said wife's name, and lo and behold... (multi chapter, but not many)

Two Can Play at this Game: At a family dinner, they're catching up with Penelope, and she mentions she's been seeing someone. They ask her who, and she goes on this long, loving rant about the guy she's dating. Luke, sitting right next to her, is fighting every instinct in his body not to make out with her in front of everyone. When she's done, Emily asks if anyone else has a secret relationship they'd like to share. Well two can play at this game... (one shot)

Our Spot: Another party at Rossi's, I haven't decided what exactly the party is for, but it's a party. At one point there's a moment where they're separated from the group (just like that scene) and she asks him, "Do you know where we are?" He looks around in confusion. "Rossi's backyard...?" "Yes, but more than that. We're in our spot, Luke. This is where you asked me out." "Would you look at that, it is. So what would you say if I kissed you in our spot for the whole team to see?" "I'd say these lips aren't going to kiss themselves." (one shot)

The New Tech: (Title subject to change bc I'm not crazy about it but don't have any better ideas atm) The new tech (who totally isn't a self-insert OC, stfu,) has recently gotten engaged, and while telling the team the story, she mentions, "Luke, I actually saw you and Penelope at that restaurant" and everyone's like "??? Wtf were you doing with at a romantic restaurant with Penelope on a Saturday night???" and the new tech's like "aw shit I said smth I wasn't supposed to, didn't I?" (one or two shot)

Liquor-loose Lips: One night at O'Keefe's, Penelope drunkenly plops down on Luke's lap in front of the team and tells him she loves him and that should tell everyone they're dating. He tells her that that's very far out the window right now. (one shot)

#plz help a girl out #i have so many ideas #they're all gonna get written at some point but idk what to start with #garvez #criminal minds #luke alvez #penelope garcia #jennifer jareau

[variousqueerthings]

was drowsily entertaining the idea that BJ is straight, but loves Hawkeye and would provide acts of service for him that include things like kissing or helping him get off, but he wouldn’t be able to physically/emotionally connect with those acts himself

and that Trapper is gay but seriously repressed, and loves Hawkeye, and would try to come at intimacy and sex in as detached and manly a way as possible so that he can rationalise it away, while still desperately wanting him

and therefore they’re both not quite as there as Hawkeye would ever need, but for reasons that aren’t quite the same, although the results overlap

#hawkeye pierce #bj hunnicutt #trapper mcintyre #im watching MASH #MASH #idk depressing concepts make me fall asleep because it's a good place to start Narrative #havent solved this one yet it was just a thought #that scene in big eden.... if there's an overlap between mash fans and big eden fans #between the lead and his best friend (his best friend was written as straight but in this day and age comes off as complexly queer) #(imo) #(anyway where his best friend has a breakdown because he knows the lead loves him and what he has to give isnt ever gonna be enough) #anyway...... how this could all unfold....... at some point bj and trapper get into a fight probably #i think i need bj and trapper to fistfight -- yeahyeah I know the rituals toxic masculinity etcetc #but i cant see them calmly talking things out #there's a big hawkeye-shaped elephant in the room (well a scrawny-shaped one anyway) #and they both have a lot they feel like they need to prove and they're not healthy about it #meanwhile hawkeye's like *sigh guess im still trapped in a Narrative*

[prince-liest]

Ok so I know you haven't officially trans anyone's gender in any of your Hazbin fics, but I lowkey get really trans vibes from Alastor in most of your fics?

Idk, it's a little hard go explain but what really tipped me off was his... distaste? Disfavor? Aversion? To his "male body" in one of the 666 fics. (I think the line was something akin to "the male body being what it is" in reference to Alastor getting hard fairly quickly).

There's honestly a lot of interesting things to speculate in relation to how Alastor views his body. Especially with his relationship with touch, and how he initiates touch and how he actively dislikes it (depending on the person).

Not to mention his feelings regarding his non-human features. How he doesn't inherently dislike them for being what they are, or rather, that they're "abnormal", but more so that they're not what they're "supposed to be", and not "what he was before" (though I do think that his dislike of his deer features is linked to his dislike of how he died, being viewed as something so easy to be put down - an animal).

Which also relates to how dressed Alastor constantly is. How he shields away his body using clothing, a customizable thing that he takes great pride in making sure is up to his standards (notice how when his coat is damaged he immediately goes to get it fixed, even though the ends of his coat is already damaged. He seems to have very complex opinions on how, exactly, his coat is supposed to be damaged)

I do think that Alastor's preference to being so dressed is linked to his dislike of vulnerability, but I also think it's a very trans(tm) move, lol.

(And I also do think that his dislike of vulnerability is tied to his transness, kinda in a weird "chicken and egg" scenario.)

I find it really interesting how Alastor's true feelings are revealed by his shadow, a being that can transform to look different, is mostly hidden, and is internally mysterious. Idk, it's just very trans(tm) to me!

I also think that Alastor's transness is linked to how he views masculinity, how he seems to automatically like woman, while automatically disliking man. How this is also tied to his parents. I've noticed in your fics (and could be completely wrong about) that Alastor seems to relate femininity (and his mother) with "safety" (how he compares the gentle touch in your last fic with feeling like his mother and his like of jambalaya).

I'm not sure if I would say that Alastor is a trans woman, but I also wouldn't say he isn't. Overall I think he has a very complex view of gender, but it's definitely something he doesn't put a lot into. Which relates to him not knowing what asexuality is.

I have a lot more Alastor trans thoughts, but this ask is already getting pretty long so I'm just gonna cut it off here. I hope I made sense, and that you're comfortable with me speculating on a character you've written about gender. (Totally valid if you're not though! If so, then please disregard this ask!)

I'll take "asks that made me realize I'm out here accidentally writing a character as nonbinary" for 300, please! Please prepare yourself for the mistake of letting me have a keyboard and talk about gender after 9pm, so sorry to literally everybody else.

You're gonna get a real fuckin' kick out of the first bit of the next 666 that I'm gonna post tomorrow. ;) It's definitely the point where I finally acknowledged to myself that I have a strong urge to inject some genderfuckery into Alastor in the form of him continuing to use his thing with Vox to explore his own relationship with, like, existing in his own body, and then also threw those feelings all over Angel Dust like a fistful of glitter while I was at it.

Like you said, I wouldn't say that I've ended up writing him as a trans woman, but I think I have seen him from the start as a character who is not exactly cis in a wibbly-wobbly way I have not previously defined but that I think I would perhaps characterize as "gender: monster condescending to play at humanity."

I don't think he eschews masculinity entirely, for what it's worth. He definitely strikes me as a person who aligns himself with the image of a smiling gentleman (if a hellish one) as the proper way for a person like him to be, and for whom that is an important, comfortable, and satisfying part of both his identity and how he relates to both his female friends and to men. However, he also strikes me as someone for whom that part of his identity is what he shows the world on purpose, presented as he would like it to be seen, rather than as something that reflects his bodily preferences. To put it another way, if he'd been AFAB, I think he would put just as much into his presentation, just in the direction of femininity, and it wouldn't make him any more or less comfortable with himself.

You're right in that I've definitely written him with a faint distaste for the mundane physical reality of his body, and a lot of this comes through in how he alternates between short moments of fascination with what new things his body is doing as he explores it and decides whether or not he likes it, and his much longer moments of utter disregard for the same thing. It also extends to the rest of his mundane humanity, though: his physical limits, his adrenaline-rush of fear, etc. He values the coat, the cane, the reality-bending static, the smile - but whatever he sees in the mirror when he gets undressed or whatever doesn't function to his purposes, he can take or leave.

I see Alastor as someone who defines himself first and foremost as the radio demon: not a person, but a monster and an enigma. A voice and a personality. Everything else is more or less incidental, and he would prefer to keep it set aside, thank you. The occasional dysphoria isn't just about his sex, it's about the humanity of his body as a whole.

#ask #alastor #hazbin hotel #personal #vengeful-velvette #vengeful velvette #long post #gender #my writing #meta #anyway I don't think I'll be tagging him as nb because idt he would identify himself that way even if it was explained to him #(unlike the aroace thing I suspect) #but! jazz hands! now you know! #all of this said I would be REALLY down for writing ftm Alastor if I hadn't already committed to him possessing a dick lmfao #but that version of 666 would have even less internal acknowledgment of his body from his narration

[genericpuff]

it's legit been a hot minute since i've read an LO episode from start to finish so I decided to read the new free episode

wow i'm really not missing a dang thing am i, jfc

I've talked about it before how the dialogue in these comics really feels... non-human, but now I'm at a point where I wouldn't even be surprised if I find out the comic was being written by one of those script bots or some AI Chat GPT tool. It's just so stupidly clunky with very little context or build-up to what's being said, the characters feel like they're just talking at each other rather than with each other, if you know what I mean. It's giving Shenmue 3.

But let's have some extra fun with this and go through it panel by panel.

I'm not gonna talk about the Apollo scene, not yet at least. But I DO want to talk about the dialogue exchange between Persephone and the demigods she's chosen to be judges.

First off, we get this cut to Persephone saying "Thank you so much for coming today." But the stuff that follows really feels like these guys have no idea where they are or why. Like, the first thing the guy on the left has to say is "you're a woman", why is he making this observation now if they intentionally made the decision to join her? If he's supposedly sexist on that line alone (which is what a lot of people in the discussion circles assume) why would he even join her on the boat in the first place if he wasn't willing to listen to a woman?

Oh, okay, so they HAVE had this conversation already, great exposition, Rachel! But again, it still makes no sense why he's making this observation out of nowhere if he already knows he's going to be working with her and chose to come along with her on the boat ride. Why is he repeating what he's already said? Why not just have this conversation happen organically instead of doing the whole sitcom "cut to the middle of what's happening and explain it matter-of-factly for the audience to catch up so we don't have to actually show the entire conversation???" bit?

It's such a cliche overused tactic to try and skip informing NPC's of what the audience already knows but that only works if we, the audience, know what's going on. Such a tactic is meant to benefit the AUDIENCE, not the characters. It's a pointless waste of time for everyone involved if they're doing it the other way around where the NPC's know but the audience doesn't and the characters have to re-explain everything they already know for the audience. It's clunky exposition.

And then of course, we get Persephone acting all high and mighty with people who, again, don't even seem to know what the fuck is going on, they don't even seem to be functioning at full brain capacity with how repetitive and pointless their dialogue is (especially the "I'm a son of Zeus" guy but we'll get to him later). If Persephone's thankful for them joining her, why is she being such a bitch? This isn't a power move, she's not being a "boss babe", she's being that bitchy manager that complains about high turnover rates completely oblivious or uncaring to the fact that she's the reason people quit the job in the first place.

"It's listening to the Queen of the Underworld time", bitch you have done NOTHING to earn that title or demand for respect. NO ONE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE. Anyone who DOES know her only knows her as a consort of Hades from that one tabloid pic from ten years ago. So... yeah, literally no one knows her. Even if they saw her in that weird broadcast during the Kronos fight (which, why would they, everyone was asleep as we were told and that news chopper was from OLYMPUS), she has done nothing to organically earn the respect and admiration of the people. As far as anyone's concerned, she's just this weird pink thing rolling into town and the only reason she has power at all is because the King has a flower nymph fetish and wanted a replacement for the girl that "got away" and married his brother.

IDK if this was an attempt at a joke but I feel bad for this guy because he clearly has no idea where he is, why he's here, or why he's going to work for the Underworld when he's a son of Zeus and would maybe prefer a job in Olympus somewhere. Look at him, those aren't the eyes of a man who knows what's going on.

"RAWR, I'm edgy and in control, shut your whore mouth while I'm speaking, peasant!"

She doesn't even look intimidating here, she looks severely constipated.

This is also legit just a copy paste of the Hera/Apollo/Echo scene from S2 which just further drives home how Persephone is an emotional replacement for Hera and a physical replacement for Rhea (while also satisfying that aforementioned flower nymph fetish).

Again, Persephone has done nothing to earn the admiration or respect of her people (unlike, y'know, Hera) and it's bullshit that she pretended to be all thankful at the beginning of this only to then treat them like shit as soon as she was able. Like, again, she seems to have just kidnapped these guys and they undoubtedly have questions and instead she's steamrolling all over them for zero reason beyond stroking her ego. If she's so bothered by the first guy being a sexist, why is she hiring him in the first place???

girl he's literally trying to escape from your bullshit, why are you treating him like a toddler or a hamster who can't control himself

it's painfully clear now these guys absolutely did not sign up for ANY of this and even if they DID sign up to be judges for Hades, they clearly were NOT aware it would include being berated and snipped at by his moody toddler of a wife, she's the ONLY one here who has zero self control or qualifications. push her in the river, please. put her in the hamster cage.

so yeah, it's not "thank you for coming with me today", it's "thank you for shutting up and being good little hostages so mommy can play pretend ruler, if you even THINK of ignoring me i'll have my daddy Mads Mikkelson- I mean, Hades chop your balls off, teehee!" seriously can SOMEONE please push her in the river, she's got like 50 pounds of hair, she has zero chance /hj

"i found a way for my husband to do even less work than he already does, like a good little billionaire!"

ms. brian griffin, no one knows what elysium is

we, the audience, haven't even seen elysium

no one knows what you're talking about and no one has anything to thank you for because so far you've spent the majority of your time in the underworld since the time skip dicking around and acting like a Karen

literally sit down and eat your oatmeal

we don't even know what 'nu-tartarus' is, who wants to bet rachel watched sci-fi the week she made this with the 'nu' spelling, jfc

what did she do to warrant the 'nu'

in fact, is tartarus even accessible right now??? what happened to Kronos locking himself up in there and refusing to let anyone in??? Did they seriously dig a hole in the ground and call it "Nu-Tartarus"? Fuck off.

Hermes, pal, you're seeing this shit, right? How can you sit there and watch her act like this??? This ain't the girl you used to make out with in the mountains.

"My husband serves in the military, you know! You'll regret not giving me that 2% discount!"

for those of you in the audience who don't know this, this is what we call panel filler. i.e. pointless repetitive panels that RS uses to fill her panel quota each week. LO always has at least 2-3 of these per episode. Go ahead, fact check it yourself, I'll wait.

Diva Plavalaguna wore it better, honey.

(also why do her ARMS look the same as her hair, they look like sausage casings 😭)

Such a weird cut though, from her making that "lol can you believe the things I put up with ????" face to her just WALKING AWAY FROM THE MEN WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY'RE EVEN HERE.

what- um, why are we cutting to this? I get that it's RS still trying to exposit instead of write organically but Hermes literally didn't ask and he should probably already be aware of what's going on if he's ON THE BOAT WITH HER. Also why are you explaining to him what a demi-god is? Again, it's Rachel trying to do the "and that's my plan" shtick not understanding that only works for OTHER CHARACTERS who aren't "in on it", NOT THE AUDIENCE. When you try to have your characters explain things JUST for the sake of the audience, it makes them all look stupid and it wastes the audience's time.

Like, never mind the fact that Hermes himself is technically a demi-god in LO as his mother is a non-god.

This would have worked better if she was explaining who these men were specifically, like the fact that they were Kings when they were alive, or why she chose them, but no, she just starts it and leaves it at "well they're related to Zeus, so they're demi-gods" with zero lead-up or context as to why she's explaining this to Hermes of all people in the first place.

WAIT OKAY. SO I WAS RIGHT, THEY LITERALLY AREN'T FUNCTIONING AT FULL AUTONOMY. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE REPEATING THINGS OR NOT SAYING THINGS THAT ARE RELEVANT OR ASKING QUESTIONS.

PERSEPHONE LITERALLY TOOK THESE SHADES WHO HAVE NO ABILITY TO CONSENT OR UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON

AND IS FORCING THEM TO WORK FOR HER HUSBAND, THE SLAVE DRIVER.

PERSEPHONE HAS BECOME A SLAVE DRIVER.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING WITH ME TODAY" ????

"THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING GOOD LITTLE SLAVES. YOU WORK FOR ME AND MY HUSBAND NOW. WE'LL GIVE YOU BACK ENOUGH OF YOUR AUTONOMY TO MAKE YOU GOOD FOR WORKING BUT YOU WILL NEVER HAVE FREE WILL."

THIS IS LITERALLY THE PLOT OF HADESTOWN BUT IT WANTS US TO CHEER FOR HADES' POINT OF VIEW IN THE END.

Also, "Hades is going to restore some of their humanity"??? Guys, do you realize the implications of this?

If this is something he's always been able to do, that means he's always had the ability to grant the shades working for him autonomy and will, but chose not to.

Give them enough sentience and autonomy to work, but not enough to question why they're working for the system in the first place.

Great job Persephone, this is soooo much better than what Hades was doing before. You've made life so much better for the dead.

Fucking hell. I started this essay with the intent of talking about the weird clunky dialogue exchanges and as I sat on it and wrote on it longer and longer it just got so much WORSE and turned into discussing Persephone's lack of morals and how she's become the very thing she always claimed she stood against.

I say "great job Persephone" but we also have to give credit where credit is due - great job Rachel, this is soooo much better than just ending the series in the first two seasons or actually resolving the plot threads you started in Season 1. You've made your comic so much better to please the stans and spite the haters.

Christ. I'm not even done talking about everything I wanted to talk about regarding this episode but I figured I should cut it off here to at least keep it all on theme. I do wanna talk about that Apollo scene and the Hermes/Persephone conversation but I'll probably do that in separate posts.

Despite how fired up I got, I am glad about one thing - I really am not missing anything. I have lost nothing from unsubscribing from LO and uninstalling the WT app. And frankly, neither will you if you've been contemplating on promoting yourself to a non-reader. There is zero FOMO here. I get just as much if not more entertainment from just following along with the hilarious conversations in the Discord and subreddit each week, because at LEAST those are fun and don't make me feel dead inside like LO does. LO isn't entertaining, it's hardly even so-bad-that-it's-entertaining at this point, maybe it still is for you, but I'm assuring you right now for those of you "hanging on", it's not going to magically "get better", even the episodes that some people CLAIM are better really aren't because of how low the bar is nowadays. I am giving you full permission to free yourself of these shackles if you've been looking for a way out. Take this as your metaphorical key.

The LO we all fell in love with is long, long gone.

#and yes i do hope rachel and webtoons reads this #because a lot of people do have the WT app at this point just for LO so people dropping off LO means people dropping off the app #this comic absolutely is affecting your bottom line WT #why is this comic still being carried on WT's shoulders #even when it's not being outright controversial or offensive it's still just a poorly made comic #the dialogue is janky and there's NOTHING GOING ON #it's just further proof that so many romance webtoons aren't built to last 3 seasons #they always lose their steam by then #just put it out of its misery for the love of god #lore olympus critical #lo critical #antiloreolympus #anti lore olympus #Youtube

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

Gotta say your au mixed with the art style and such and amazing work in what we seen so far with the horror and some laughs it's just become a treat every time I saw new details (whenever you supplies them up, thanks for that)

I know you already disclosure that it's gonna be bad BAD TIMES for the puppets gang but does it have it's soft ad fluff times??

The shot were Frank ask Wally if they're dying will looking up for the ceiling hasn't leave my brain, such a raw emotional clear on them, I wonder when they were just the two of them for a while they cuddle or hold hands for comfort??

I just.i just want them to have small victories of comfort

of course it has fluff and comfort! a lot of it! having a nice blend of both makes the fluff feel sweeter & the hurt hit all the harder <3 i will now supply some (written (for now)) examples and tidbits. putting it under the cut cause it got kinda Long

Frank & Wally do become very affectionate with each other! ofc as soon as Frank woke Wally was like "ok im holding your hand everywhere we go, this is Non Negotiable". because its dark! he doesn't want Frank to stray too far or get lost! and it's easier to yank Frank outta harm's way if they're already holding hands. comfort factors into it later, when Frank starts initiating & Wally does it purely to make sure Frank is still there. but yeah they get Very comfortable with each other, to the point where when Eddie wakes up he asks Frank - misinterpreting the situation entirely - "if you'd rather have Wally than me, i understand." ofc Frank laughs his ass off bc uhhh no that is Not what their relationship is, Ed

~ similarly, (almost) everyone acclimates to Wally's need to be as close as possible at all feasible times. he's Very physically affectionate and has little to no regard for personal space or boundaries anymore. like, he'll listen when someone asks him to back off or somethn, but until then he does not give a fuck. and this rubs off on the others as they get used to it

and then there's OH WAIT IDK IF I'VE MENTIONED THIS YET but! Wally - during his main exploration phase - found the Welcome Home episode recordings! and he eventually figured out how to work a tv he found, so he added "watch an episode of me and my friends" into his Routine. when the others wake up, he includes them in this. is it horrifying for them at first? yeah. but they get used to it and find similar if not the same comfort and enjoyment in it that Wally does. like in This Scribble, Frank & Wally & Poppy & Howdy are all watching an episode, and are quoting the lines they've memorized. they all cuddle up on a couch together and watch their favorite show <3

& Wally also teaches them (as they wake up) how to repair and care for themselves / each other, sleeping or otherwise. picture a little sewing circle of Frank, Wally, and Poppy, with Poppy giving tips and guidance on how to improve. these sessions provide them with genuine smiles and sometimes even some laughs.

before Wally & Home's divorce, they'd pass much of the time with games! go-fish, charades, i spy, etc. one of their favorites was when Wally would toss a ball at Home's door, and Home would hit it back. additionally, whenever Wally discovered something new, he'd rush back to Home with it - either the information or the actual thing, if he could carry it. ex: when he'd find books or files, he'd bring them to Home and (quietly) read them aloud while resting against them

and just in general know that the Post Office is a place of safety. Wally has made sure it's secure. i like to imagine like... little craft sessions and impromptu dancing lessons and story sharing going on in there among the awake neighbors. they try to have fun despite it all

that's all i can recall for Act One's fluff tidbits rn, but trust me there is More. and also abundant angsty comfort. the downright painful stuff has to earn its existence yk yk this au is Not grimdark

#oh there's also a really specific scene in my mind of like. #poppy taking notice that wally has developed a disregard for his appearance & that he doesn't seem to think he's attractive anymore #and recruits frank & howdy to give him like... a lil spa day as best they can #they tie (most of) his hair up in a ponytail and scrub some of the dirt out & they make a little patchwork sweater for him #and poppy tells him he looks very pretty #and wally has a moment of '...? im pretty? im still...? oh...!' #they notice him putting a teensy bit of attention towards his appearance going forward from this #oh also he makes sure they All get a little 'spa day' #good feelings all around.... #rambles from the bog #wh lights out au #they all pick up little Habits towards each other #like wally will hold others' hands and just fiddle with em w/o a real point or goal #frank will adjust his friends' clothes hair if it's a lil Too out of place #poppy will hold her wings around/behind others w/o really realizing it #howdy will pick up / carry the smaller neighbors for no particular reason #eddie tends to keep a hand on the nearest person #etc etc! #there was. Something Else i wanted to add. i don't remember what it was! #but yeah! there are good things. there are Always good things.

[platonically-loving-alastor]

Aroace Alastor

Hoo boy here we go- This one might make some people mad at me, so I'll preface by saying I do not want to start a fight and as long as you respect my business, I'll respect yours. But let's get this over with-

First off, I genuinely don't understand how some people can see the Ace-In-The-Hole quote and still believe that Alastor is only intended to be asexual and not also aromantic. Yes, the term Rosie used for purpose of the pun was 'ace', but can we look at the context of that moment before jumping to conclusions?

Rosie, motioning to Charlie: "Oh, who's this you brought with you? Come now, Alastor, she's much too young for you! Oh, I'm just kidding. I know you're an ace in the hole!"

Her original statement implies nothing sexual, only that he's involved in a relationship with Charlie, and she follows it up with why she knows that couldn't be because he's an 'ace in the hole'. I don't think you have to read too far between the lines to see that.

I would also like to say that when Vivienne has spoken about his orientation before, I recall her saying that she didn't want to confirm him being aromantic so that she wouldn't 'ruin anyone's fun', which I just feel like is an odd thing to say if she wasn't already explicitly picturing him as aroace. If she thought he had romantic attraction, why wouldn't she just say that? What fun would that ruin? I also feel like keeping things like this ambiguous just to appease the shippers is a little weird, but I digress-

And to those of you who I know are saying "But aromantic people can be in relationships too!!" *deep inhale* yeah I know. I'm not gonna pretend you're not right about that, but there are also aroace people who have exactly 0 interest in romance or sex at all. This is the part of the post that really is based on how I interpret certain moments, but to me he is absolutely one of those people. I don't really know where people get any vibes of him being interested in that stuff. I have never once looked at him and thought "Yeah I could see him in a romantic relationship with *insert character here*". Even aside from attraction in general, since that's what we'd be talking about at this point anyway, he just seems like the kind of guy who'd rather work and live independently instead of relying on anyone, whether practically or emotionally (which is also probably part of the reason he never joined the Vees, but that's another topic entirely). Hell, I'm pretty sure he's in heavy denial about even developing any kind of care or friendship with the people at the hotel (ie. the episode 8 scene with him and Niffty).

The only ships I see him involved in with people he doesn't hate (so ignoring RadioApple, RadioHusk, and StaticRadio. But to be real, maybe the fact all his main ships are enemies to lovers coded says something about the whole situation, but that's just me-) are Charlastor - which I will not even try to discuss here, people aren't gonna like this post as it is - and RadioRose. Rosie and him would at least be fair, if it weren't for one thing (which is also personal opinion on my end), and I don't know exactly how to word it. I'm tempted to say she has wingwoman vibes? But she knows he's aro, so that's not the right word, but there's vibes of like, she probably did act as a wingwoman before she realized that about him or something.. There's also something about her joking around like "Oh this is the girl? You have a girlfriend and I'm only now meeting her?" is almost giving motherly behavior. Idk man they're just besties to me, I could see them in a QPR though (not that they'd probably label it that way, considering the word queerplatonic is likely just complete gibberish to Alastor lmao).

So to summarize: It feels incredibly likely, if not practically canon, that Alastor was written with aromanticism in mind, even if Vivienne refuses to explicitly state it. Subtext and not-that-subtle implications can say just as much about a character as word of God, especially when that God has explicitly told us why she won't confirm or deny this information. Do I think any of this will stop people from shipping him romantically with literally any other character? No ofc it won't, and that's okay, that's just what fandoms do. I do think there's something to say for the fact the one aroace (or even at the very least asexual) character gets constantly shipped with everyone else in the cast, but this post is long enough I think. The only point of posting this is that I wanted to get information out there in one post to say "Hey, let's look a little bit past the surface for a second before saying there's no proof of him being aromantic"

Anyway, thanks for reading, I hope you at least took something away from this

#*prepares to be metaphorically burned at the stake* #i will also say i have a complicated relationship with staticradio #if its one sided thats fantastic but the moment alastor reciprocates feelings im out #will probably make a post on that too at some point #hazbin hotel #alastor #aroace alastor #rosie hazbin hotel #platonic radiorose

[hawkinshighdropout]

Come Hell or High Water.

Pairing: Eddie Munson x (female) Reader

Summary: Y/N and Eddie come up with “Dare Cards” that can be redeemed at any point before graduation, but they only get three each. What will each of those cards be used for? Read to find out…

Warnings: This story is filled with just fun shenanigans all the way from start to the end of dare # 4. After then? It’s full of angst and a lot of cussing/sadness, so read at your own risk. There’s no major character death, just the risk of it. Situations were taken from the show’s story but altered to have a happy ending for Eddie. This is just kinda fluffy/angsty content. Unless you count a couple of curse words as needing a warning? Idk, I haven’t written fanfics in like 8 years so I’m a little rusty, be nice to me please <3.

Note/Request: Anonymous. “Hi! If your requests are still open - i have this idea. Eddie and reader are best friends and at the beginning of the year they came up with "dare cards". Basically it's like truth or dare but each has a certain number of cards that they can hand to the other whenever they want and dare them do to something and they cannot deny (example: reader handing a card to Eddie and daring him to address the whole cafeteria like in the scene). The reader uses the last card when they're in the upside down, daring Eddie to stay alive and eddie uses his to dare the reader to kiss him. (and please, reject canon, i need happy ending) Sorry if it's chaotic, hopefully it's understandable enough! Thank you.”

Word Count: 5.4k

Send me prompts to write about!

“So, how many of these things do we get?” you ask, voice full of intrigue when Eddie was sat in the back of the library with you, explaining his new game that he came up with for the two of you.

“I’d say maybe three should be good. We can always come up with more if we run out too quickly.” Eddie explains, cards splayed out across the table in front of you both whilst he grins.

Eddie had just finished explaining these new “Dare Cards” that you both were going to use whenever you felt like it to keep your senior year interesting. You each got three cards, and you could trade them in with the other person to get them to do whatever you wanted. A few rules: Nothing illegal, nothing against the other person’s morals, nothing that would put the other person in harm’s way, and no one else could be included in your dare.

You agreed to the terms as it sounded like it could be a blast. They weren’t really cards as such, they were just six of your flash cards that Eddie had stolen and scribbled “DARE CARD” across them. Pocketing your three whilst he did the same for his own, smug grin on his face whilst you both shook hands to agree to the deal.

“This is gonna be fun… Shit.” He snorts a laugh.

Dare #1

You were sitting at lunch with your friends in the Hellfire Club, the room was loud, and you were becoming jaded from the amount of annoyance that the jocks and cheerleaders brought you. Every single day was the same, the basketball team would be harassing some poor kid for lunch money or just for their own amusement, and the cheerleaders would be making snide comments about anyone who walks past them. Unfortunately, due to the nature of High School, a lot of the drama and attention was directed to your group of friends, everyone seemed to have a problem with the nerds who stuck together and minded their own business. It didn’t take long for you to hit your limit, especially when Jason walked past your table, bumping into Eddie intentionally and mumbling a not so subtle “Freak” to him before going to sit with his fellow meatheads.

Screwing your brows together in pure disgust at the unadulterated sight of Jason coming in close contact with your best friend, Eddie wasn’t even phased by his words. You were. Looking to Eddie, you fetched one of the cards from your pocket and slam it on the table in front of him, making him jump slightly at the sudden noise. His gaze flickering from the card to your face, then back down to the card, brow raising in question as he wanted you to explain what the dare was. Arms folding across his chest as he leant back on his chair slightly to give you space to announce the dare to his eager ears.

“I dare you to work your Munson Charm and piss off that dickhead.”

Snatching the card from the table, he pockets it with pride before clearing his throat and crackling his ring clad knuckles, he was going to look forward to stirring the pot, it was more of an honour and privilege rather than a dare.

Hopping up onto the table like he owned the place, he’s grinning with pride as suddenly all attention was on him, voice projecting towards Jason even though he would look at each clique’s table in turn whilst he called them out.

“We’re the freaks because we like to play a fantasy game, but as long as you’re into band or science or… parties…” Eddie altered his voice to become an octave higher and far more nasaly, causing your table to snicker and someone from the other table to flip Eddie off, “or a game where you toss balls into laundry baskets!” Eddie cupped his lips and projected his voice right at Jason, smirking as the blonde rose to his feet and tried to act tough.

“You want something, freak?!” Jason threatened.

Eddie moved his hands to either side of his head, poking out his index fingers like horns and sticking out his tongue, impersonating the devil with an accompanying growling noise, causing your table to burst into laughter whilst Jason seemed more pissed off than before.

“Prick…” he mumbled, sitting back with his jocks, and ignoring Eddie entirely.

“It’s forced conformity, that’s what’s killing the kids,” Eddie yells out the last part of his sentence, spooking those around him and causing them to shuffle away from him faster than before, he sits back down, shoving some pretzels into his mouth, “that’s the real monster.”

You shake your head from side to side in disbelief that he actually spoke up like that, you’re unsure why you’re surprised as it was both in his nature and a dare he had to comply with anyway.

Eddie reaches out his hand in your direction, instigating a subtle fist bump before winking at you, you just roll your eyes with a fond smile and continue eating your lunch together.

----

Dare #2

Dustin and Mike dropped into their seats with a miserable look on their faces at the start of the latest Hellfire Club meetup, both of them avoiding looking directly at the older members as they weren’t having a good day.

“Anyone gonna tell me why you two look like that, or?” Eddie queried.

They huff, looking at one another before Dustin caved and took one for the team, sitting up and looking over at Eddie with a sad little look on his face,

“Jason and Patrick stole our Walkie Talkie earlier…” he frowned, looking down at his hands as stammered through his words.

They had pinned both Dustin and Mike up against their lockers earlier, mocked them and made sure to steal their Walkie Talkie before walking off to basketball practise. They were used to having names hurled their way, but physical assault and robbery were situations they didn't want to get used to experiencing.

Eddie was seething, no one laid hands on his friends. He rose to his feet, kicking his chair back behind him and out of the way with such intensity that it screeched across the floorboards. Looking around for less than a second before his gaze landed upon one of the rusty wrenches that was left behind by some janitor at some point. Swiping it, he’s wielding it like a weapon and already a little red in the face with anger.

“Where are those useless sons of bitches?!” he demanded.

Dustin and Mike were on edge, they didn’t usually see Eddie get like this, not really. Sure, he might get a bit peeved during a game or annoyed at something someone said, but this rage? That was new to them. Quick on his feet, Dustin stood and raised his hands out towards Eddie apprehensively, doing his best to calm him down.

“Eddie… Eddie, relax… It’s okay… Don’t do anything stupid, you won’t be able to graduate if you’re caught smashing their faces in!” Dustin pleaded, causing Eddie to close his eyes and intake a long and deep breath before letting the wrench clammer loudly on the table as he dropped it.

“Where’s Y/N?” he demanded, to which they quickly explained that you were in your after-school art club until six pm.

Without a warning, Eddie stormed off out of the Hellfire Club meeting, down the hall in the direction of your club, leaving a small collection of confused nerds starting blindly into the direction Eddie had travelled in, unsure on what his plan was.

“Y/N? Get out here, now.” His voice was serious, having already captured the attention of the room as he slammed the door open, causing it to bounce against the inside wall. You rarely saw him like this, so put down your paints, excused yourself and rushed out to the hall to speak with him.

“What’s wron—” was all you could get out before Eddie spoke over you, pacing back and forth in front of you as he’s putting his hands behind his head to try and calm down.

“Henderson and Wheeler got mugged by that prick Jason… They stole their Walkie Talkie. I was going to knock some sense into him but I can’t risk getting suspended, can you—”

It was your turn to interrupt “Eddie, I am not going to beat up some jocks?! What do you think this is,--” he interrupted tou again.

“Jesus Christ, no! I’m not asking you to do that?! I was going to cash in my dare card and get you to sneak in and steal it back from them! Its in their changing room locker apparently and they’re at practise so I need you to snatch it back!” Eddie huffed, turning to face you.

Eyes wide, you let out a soft “oh…” before realising that he needed you for your stealth and not for your muscle, nodding in agreement with a silent understanding that he would trade the card at a later date.

“I’m gonna go back to the group, meet us when you have the device. Thank you, and good luck.” He states, marching back in the direction he came from, leaving you a little shell shocked in the process.

You immediately scurry off in the direction of the gym, the sound of shoes screeching on the flooring paired with various guys’ names being called inside solidified the fact that they were still busy. That bought you a little time to break into the lockers and get the device back for your younger friends. Sneaking into the changing rooms, you hold your nose and gag a little at the smell, gross. Boys were gross. Tiptoeing around the corner until you get to the locker with Jason’s name on it, pulling out a bobby pin from your hair and bending it about slightly, checking over your shoulder every couple of seconds as you picked the lock.

“Yes!” you squeal, before silently cursing yourself for being so loud, the padlock falling to the floor as you jiggle the handle, cranking the door open to the locker. Thankfully the device was sat beside his pile of clothes, you snatched it up and slammed the locker closed. On second thought, you ripped the door back open and stole all of Jason’s clean clothes in the process. Slamming the door shut again before scurrying out of the locker room and back down the hall to Hellfire, heart pounding in your chest as you ran.

Colliding with the door, you stumble into the room with red cheeks and a light sweat on your forehead, panting with a tired smile on your face as you held the walkie talkie triumphantly in the air.

“Someone looking for this?” you tease, happily passing it over to Henderson as he repeatedly thanked you for returning it, only giving you a weird look when he noticed the bundle of clothes under your arm.

“Uh… Whose clothes are they?” he questioned.

“Jason’s. Consider y’all even.” You smiled, dumping Jason’s clothing in the janitor’s closet attached to the room, a place he would never think to find them.

“Well played, Y/L/N. Well played.” Eddie just looked at you with such pride, clapping his hands together slowly and smirking at you.

----

Dare #3

“Pleeeeeease Eddie, please….” You pleaded, a big childish pout on your face as you held out the magazine clipping in your hands, showing him that Kate Bush was going on tour and would be coming to Hawkins.

“No, Y/N.” he said simply, shaking his head in between sipping at his chocolate milk, he had no interest in taking you to see this concert.

“Please… You’re the only one old enough to come with me that has their own car, please…. Eddie. C’mon, please!” you beg, looking at him with wide eyes.

He glanced up at you, lifting just one brow before his stern expression showed that he wasn’t going to be changing his mind, at least not willingly.

“No, I don’t even like that music.” He said simply, shrugging.

“What you listen to isn’t music! It’s just angry guitar sounds!” you whine, slamming the magazine down on the counter in front of him like a spoiled child of some kind.

“What would you call music then, hm?!” he challenged.

“Madonna, Blondie, Bowie, Beatles, music! Real music!” you cry out in frustration, voice becoming higher as you became more stressed out by Eddie’s judgemental gaze.

Snatching up a cassette tape nearby that had Metallica’s album cover on the front, shaking it in front of your face in annoyance “This is music!” Eddie yelled, voice cracking as he did so.

You both stare at each other for a couple seconds, breathing heavily as you’d seemingly met the crescendo of the argument. Sitting back in your seats, folding your arms across your chest whilst Eddie did the same, sat in silence until you find yourself smirking.

“I dare you to come to the Kate Bush concert with me.” You say, reaching into your nearby bag and tugging out your second Dare Card, slamming it on the table on top of the magazine. Only one card remained in your possession after this, so you needed to use it wisely.

“Son of a bitch!” Eddie cries out, face falling into his hands in defeat.

----

Dare #4

Eddie was doodling on the back of your forearm whilst he was zoned out and beyond bored during Math class, his ballpoint pen drawing bats on your skin, ones that almost perfectly resemble his own tattoo. A smile present on your face as you watched him draw, his tongue poking out as he was laser focused on getting them right.

“Looking good, Munson.” You teased, admiring his work whilst he sat back and gave his nod of approval.

“You should get it tattooed.” He mutters, not thinking much of it.

“Oh yeah? And with what money, hm?” you challenge, he knew that both of you were broke high school students, you didn’t have the funds to go to a reputable parlour and get tattoos professionally done.

“I can do it?” he offers, looking up at you before attempting to seem interested in whatever the teacher was rambling on about.

“Wait, really?” you ask.

He nods, he had the equipment back at his trailer, it wasn’t exactly up to code or maybe even legal, but he could get the job done. You seem unsure, not sold on the idea of being tattooed, especially by someone without their license, not wanting to get an infection or even worse, punished by your parents.

“I dare you..” he announces in a soft song-like voice, causing you to grunt out in disapproval at his timing of using that card.

“Ugh, fine!” you cave, focusing on the class until the bell rung.

Back at his trailer after school, Eddie had tied his bandana around his head to keep the hair away from his eyes, ratty old gloves on his hands as you were sat at his dining room table. A mess of ink and paper towels thrown about the place as your arm was extended towards him and he had stencilled the design onto your forearm.

“You sure about this?” he asks, seeing you with your eyes closed and head tilted back, clearly you weren’t relaxed in the slightest. But you nod, a dare is a dare, giving him the go ahead as he started up the machine, the dull buzzing filled the room as he leant in, doing the first couple lines.

You hiss and wince at the scratching pain it brought to your skin, trying your best to stay as still as possible whilst he took your tattoo virginity, the only saving grace about this being that you would match with your best friend. A little lightheaded as time went on, doing your best to distract yourself as he finished up the design, wiping your arm clean and covering it in wrap to keep it clean.

“All done” he announces proudly, you tilt your head down and look at the design on your arm. It was a little wobbly, but it was cute. It was a cute tattoo and had a nice story to go alongside with it, you didn’t regret your decision in the slightest.  

“Okay. That’s actually pretty cute…” you confessed, a smug grin on his lips as he packed away the machine and washed his hands once he was done.

“Thank you, m’lady.” Eddie smiles.

Dare #5

Things had gotten crazy since you and Eddie last played the dare game, like… Really crazy. An alternative dimension opening up and people being cursed and murdered in the sky level of crazy. It’s safe to say that your little game wasn’t priority right now, having way more life-threatening things you had to deal with as a community. Like at present? You were currently in the Upside Down with Steve, Nancy, Eddie, and your new friend Robin, and earlier? You were communicating to Dustin, Lucas, and Erica through the god damn lights.

You had already had to dive headfirst into Water Gate, fight off a swarm of demon bats (those of which attacked Steve so badly that he was limping about with a chunk taken out of his side) and almost got crushed to death each time the earth shook and sent rocks and rubble flying all overt the place. Let’s just say, it wasn’t an ideal time to bring up your little game right now.

After Dustin, the little genius, worked out that there would be a portal at every murder site, you and the gang hauled ass and pedalled over to Eddie’s alternate trailer as fast as you possibly could. One by one, you climbed the sheets up into the ceiling, falling through the portal and landing safely on the mattress the other side. You all hugged and rejoiced in the fact you were safe before gearing up the next portion of the plan. Weapons. Y’all needed weapons.

It all ramped up from there. You hotwired an RV, drove across Hawkins, got all the weapons you could possibly imagine, drove back across town, made a plan, climbed back through the portal and this is where you currently were. Dressed head to toe in battle gear, weapons in each hand as your group stood in a circle, tensions were high, and you had to be smart about this. You knew your role, you were to split off with Steve, Nancy, and Robin, you had to fight and kill Vecna. Eddie and Dustin were going to become the diversion to buy you more time, that was the plan.

Right as the group started to part ways, you felt a horrible twinge in the pit of your stomach. Excusing yourself with the promise of being quick, you rushed off back towards Dustin and Eddie, voice a little shaken and tears in your eyes. Grabbing Eddie, you wrapped your arms tightly around his shoulders and hide your face in his neck, squeezing him impossibly tight before pulling away.

“I dare you to successfully distract the bats and then come back through this portal a hero, do you hear me, Munson?” you demanded, a few tears slipping down your face as he looks at you.

Brought into his arms, you let out a few sniffles as he held you close, accepting the dare and promising to come back to you in one piece the second this was over. You whisper a “be careful…” into his ear before you part ways, pulling away at the last possible second to have one last glimpse at him before you run back to Steve and the girls. You had a mission to complete after all…

Whilst you were off fighting Venca, Eddie and Dustin were distracting the bats away from your group, so they didn’t attack. Standing on top of the RV, Eddie shredded an impressive guitar solo of Master of Puppets by Metallica, all the bats swarming their way as planned. It didn’t take long, but the guy’s traded instruments for weapons and charged full force down into the safety of the RV. Bats swarming now, they rushed to the portal as Dustin successfully climbed through, Eddie started to climb before deciding against it and dropping back down, swiping the sheets clean off and severing the ties between the dimensions.

“Eddie, what are you doing?!” Dustin screamed, eyes full of tears.

“Buying some more time…” he confessed, grabbing his weapons again and charging out of the RV on his bike, Dustin screaming protests in the background as Eddie persevered.

Whilst this was going on, your group had successfully defeated Vecna, freeing those in his possession from the wretched curse, all battered and bruised as you stumbled one by one back to the portal. Clueless as to the shambles that had occurred in your absence, calling on the walkie talkie to try and get Dustin to fill you in on what’s going on, heart racing as Eddie and Dustin were nowhere to be seen.

Dustin had slithered back into the Upside Down in hopes of rescuing Eddie, screaming, and crying as he fought off the swarm of bats in aid of his defenceless friend who was bleeding out on the floor.

“Stay back, assholes! Get out of here!” he screamed, pain in his voice as Eddie was coughing up blood just mere steps away from him. Swinging his sword and stabbing any bat that dared to come near him, it’s only when you had broken the curse that the bats retreated. Dustin had a moment of silence to assess the situation, dropping to his knees and trying to help Eddie up from the floor.

“Oh, thank god…” Dustin whimpered when he saw that Eddie was still breathing, eyes darting all over his body as he tried to get a gauge of the damage, “shit…” he mumbled.

“That bad, huh?” Eddie asks, sputtering up blood as he spoke.

“No, no, you’re gonna be fine, we just need to get you to a hospital, okay?” Dustin stuttered, doing his best to help the older guy at least sit up, causing him to wince and curse in pain.

After a moment’s silence, the pair looked at each other, both crying as Eddie tried his best to force a weak smile.

“I didn’t run away this time, right?” he mumbled.

“No, you didn’t run…” Dustin’s voice breaking, shaking his head.

“You’re gonna have to look after those little sheep for me, okay?” he sputtered, breathing heavily as he tried to fight through the pain that ripped through his body.

“No, you’re gonna do that yourself…” Dustin argued, shaking beside him.

“Nah, man. Say I’m gonna look after them. Say it” Eddie insisted.

After a couple of seconds, Dustin caved, his voice full of heartbreak as he mumbled “I’m gonna look after them…” to Eddie.

Eddie looked up at him, wide eyed and broken smile on his face as he gasped a little, “Good, this is it. I’m actually gonna graduate… I think its my year Henderson, its finally my year…” he took a breath, looking into the eyes of Dustin as he sighed, “I love you man..”

“I love you too.” Dustin whispered as Eddie slowly faded away in his arms, causing the younger boy to burst into tears, repeatedly calling out his name and trying his best to shake him and keep him conscious.

Looking around hopelessly for anything or anyone to help him, struggling to find any sort of solution, causing him to hiccup through his sobs.

“Dustin?! Eddie?!” Steve screamed out, stopping in his tracks at the sight of Henderson sobbing on the ground and holding Eddie, sprinting the best he could towards the pair to offer assistance.

Together they fumbled to lift Eddie’s unconscious body from the floor, wincing in pain as they were all covered in cuts and bruises, soaking their clothing in blood as they went. Steve somehow mustered up the strength to carry Eddie over his shoulder back towards the trailer, not giving letting himself think too much of it, working on pure adrenaline.

Dustin ran ahead, looking for anything they could find that would make it easier to get Eddie back through the portal, screaming for you and the other girls to get them to help. They manged to find a ladder from the garage and propped it up so that Steve could ascend the ladder carrying Eddie, and you and the girls could climb up the other end and stumble to take the weight of the body back through to Hawkins.

Once you were all through the other side, Steve rushed to grab the van, helping you all get into the car along with making sure Eddie was held as he sped all the way to the hospital. You were all in tears, obviously, Eddie’s head in your lap as you cried over him, your face buried in his hair as you kept your fingers against the side of his throat to make sure he always had a pulse. It was weak, but it was there.

“I dared you to stay alive… Don’t leave me now, please…” you silently beg to him, even though he can’t hear you. Sobbing into his hair whilst pressing kisses to his forehead, unable to do anything but fear the worst.

At the hospital, Robin ran inside with Nancy and grabbed as many nurses as they possibly could, they came bundling out with various stretchers and aid to get you all inside. Robin and Nancy just had a few scrapes and cuts cleaned up, you had your ankle bandaged up as you had sprained it when you fell earlier on, Dustin was currently being looked at, Steve had had his torso numbed whilst he received stitches and Eddie was in emergency surgery.

Your small group waited in the waiting room for hours and hours, pacing and recalling the night, all of you either in tears or hysterics from the pain and the adrenaline. Worried about Eddie and just praying to whatever twisted God that was out there, that he would pull through.

Dare #6

“Y/N?” Eddie croaked, voice raw and almost inaudible.

Your head snapped up in shock, wide eyed as you saw the broken man lying in his hospital bed, chained up to all these various machines that beeped annoyingly. It had been a couple of weeks since the incident and Eddie had been unconscious ever since, stable, but unconscious. He required a lot of surgery, so he had been put into a medically induced coma to ensure he had the best chance at fighting this. He was going to be covered in scars for the rest of his life, but no one cared about that, he was alive and that was all that mattered to anyone.

Rushing over to his bedside, you grasp his hand and squeeze it. Partially to comfort him, but mostly to convince yourself that this was real. Pressing an abundance of kisses to the back of his hand as you sniffle.

“E-Eddie…” you sigh, bursting into tears once again before bringing him into a tight hug, it’s only when he coughs and winces that you back off slightly. Still holding him, just reminding yourself that he was going to be fragile for a while.

“Hey, Y/L/N…” he mumbles, doing his best to hug you back but it was clear he was in too much pain for that, you didn’t blame him.

“Oh my god, thank god you’re okay.. You had me so worried, I thought… You were lifeless in my arms, Eddie, I thought I lost you.” You whimper pathetically as you recall him being slumped and bleeding out in your lap.

“You dared me to stay alive, what did you expect?” he attempts to joke.

“Not fucking funny, Munson. What the hell were you playing at?! You knew the plan, you made up the plan, why the fuck did you run back out there and do such a god damn stupid thing?!” all of the emotions were bubbling over. Rage, fear, relief, everything came out at once as you had to bite your tongue to avoid cursing him out.

“I was buying more time…” he defended.

“You could have died, Eddie!” you yelled, the room fell silent.

“You could have died. Okay? And Henderson and Harrington could have died too trying to get back out there and save you, what the hell were you thinking?” you ask, voice cold.

It took a couple of minutes before he answered you, looking at him for the first time since you had raised your voice, his face looked broken and devastated.

“Henderson came to get me?” his eyes filling with tears.

“Yes, Eddie! He came running to your defence the second you were in trouble, do you not remember that?” you question.

Shaking his head, he bites down on the side of his thumb, eyes canning the room as he avoided looking your way. “I… The last thing I remember is being eaten alive by bats….” He winces at the memory.

“He’s still traumatised by it. He came rushing out to save you, you fell limp in his arms, and he thought you had died. He thought he had just watched his big brother die in his arms.” You heard Eddie sniffle at that.

“I just… I didn’t want to run anymore, you know? I was trying to help… I was trying to be a hero like I always wanted to have the guts to be…” voice full of regret as he mumbled.

“You will always be a hero to that kid, Eddie! He worships you, but my god, don’t you ever do something that stupid ever again, you hear me? He needs you! We all need you! I… I need you…” you feel the tears threatening to bubble over once again, his hand delicately squeezing your palm to comfort you.

“Hey… Look at me.” He whispers, you eventually get the courage to look up at him, he offers you a weak smile as he squeezes your hand once more, “I’m sorry, okay? I really thought I was doing a good thing, and I’m sorry… I promise, no more being the hero, yeah?”

A weak laugh comes from you both as you drop his hand in favour of wrapping him in another hug, squeezing him tight and this time he didn’t protest it.

“I’ve never been happier to hear those words” you mumble, squeezing him close and hiding your face in the curve of his neck whilst he tried to weakly hold you close for a hug.

“Y’know, I have one more card…” Eddie said, voice soft as you pulled back to look at him, “Can I cash that in now?”

“Right now?” you ask in disbelief, wiping your wet cheeks with the back of your hand to clear away some of the tears, not understanding why he could be thinking of a silly game at a time like this. He’s nodding his head to show that he was serious, so you sigh and make it known that he can say it.

“I dare you to kiss me” he says bluntly, causing you to let out a noise that can only be described as pure confusion and shock.

“E-Excuse me?” you whisper, not grasping where this came from.

“Please… I just… I nearly lost you, you know? I can’t have that happen again, I can’t… I can’t put you through that again… I just want to be able to protect you, care for you, keep you safe and make sure you feel loved and needed. I want to make you feel the way that you make me feel, Y/N. Please… Please, just let me kiss you.” He rambled.

It was a spur of the moment thing, simply grabbing his cheeks in your hands and slamming your lips together in a desperate and passionate kiss, a kiss that showed you had missed him, that you needed him, that you loved him. A kiss that showed him that he was home. He was safe.

He winced from the cut lip, and you winced from slightly bashing your noses together but neither of you cared or stopped the kiss, it caused you both to break down crying as you were overcome with emotions as you reconnected. Resting your foreheads together as you were short of breath, doing more sobbing than kissing, keeping your hands on his face to make sure he couldn’t slip away again.

“I fucking love you, Y/N Y/L/N.” he whispered proudly.

Without missing a beat, you whisper back “I love you too.”

Side Eyes or Raised Eyebrows

Buddie: Marketing Tatic or Something Else?

Hello! Back on my big brain I cant sleep stuff.

I've been a Buddie fan for over a few months now (idk how time works) and have lived through the beautiful bi buck confirmation.

Now I do have some think pieces about queer representation in American media and in different countries (i literally spend all my time watching tv I'm a conessiur or sorts) and how they differ on impact/deal with issues etc.

What I woke up thinking about is something that's bugging me a bit about Oliver and his interviews.

If we're (both the ga and buddie fans) supposed to be convinced about this new relationship the writing and promotion MUST be changed.

Let me explain.

Tommy, Tevan whatever you want to call it is Buck's newest relationship.

It's a new relationship with a similar set up/feeling around it.

The only way I think Buddie can be override/mitigated is if they have a doctor love interest who consistently stays over the course of seasons who has their own backstory and storyline.

I'm starting to swing my eyes at ABC and their marketing team now.

Madney's wedding coming up and we barely saw either of them ( granted kudos on keeping this all under wraps y'all) and they've been hanging a shiny bell in front of us as distraction like a baby.

Look at the shiny buddie then BAM character death!

Please don't take this serious, please don't take this serious, Tim! PLEASE don't take this serious.

But anyways, I have been thinking about Oliver and all of his recent press and just the way Busdie has been uttered and whipped around like a tennis ball.

He currently has a boyfriend but the way it's been discussed and portrayed has me a bit dazed.

I wanna be a bit objective (I'm asking the big questions here)

The main problem is the Buddie relationship and how it's portrayed/written and had continued to be this season.

If you compare the past seasons and how they've developed as let's face it a couple, because there's no way to deny it as they've been written to parallel in unverse and other show romantic heterosexual relationships.

They quite literally qualified for a queer platonic relationship (if you wanted to view it that way. I however have not. I say let the gays free!/j)

If they intended for it to be platonic let it BE platonic.

They shouldn't be doing an if, of the gender was swapped would it be romantic/ship coded?

They literally have that in the show already. Bobby and Chim, Bobby and Eddie, hell Chim and Eddie (do they even have solo scenes together???).

Bathena is a blatant parallel. The main one almost beat for beat is the orchard shooting and the hostage situation. (Pretty sure it's the same season I believe)

But those are just some examples of the show.

My main gripe is if it's not about buddie don't make it/lean to heavily into it as it can backfire.

I'm not gonna lie, bi buck episode was a bait and switch (beautifully done and still very infuriating all the same).

Oliver I gotta bone to pick with you (I really don't I'm side eyeing the network i know they approve questions).

He's also a Buddie warrior so I can't really fault him on how he talks about it it's been like 6 years he's had the same partner with the domestic (cough sexual tension cough) with.

So I don't really blame him tbh.

*Swings around and points fonger at marketing team*

It's all your fault.

I know the episode will feature Madney (duh it's their wedding episode and I'm ready to cry) but I'm pretty sure there could've been another way to advertise this occasion.

Use flyers (similar to the ones used to say that one of the dispatch crew was attending) to get fans buzzed about watching the show in a few weeks as though they're rsvp'ing, talk about past scenes, more interviews centering the couple and what they thought about the episode, a promotional photoshoot?

Photoshoot in a magazine with jlh and Ken would've been really cute. Madney fans would then be happy. (I'm included🙋🏾‍♀️ give the beautiful couple their photos i wanna see it😤 my little queer heart and eyes demands it)

Literally would've been the perfect time to pair up with some wedding magazine or something. Literally a million ways to go about it.

Madney in formal wedding clothes, then a dystopian kind of dress clothes to reflect the chaotic wedding ending.

Use a highlight reel.

Similar you are cordially invited to a 911 wedding -

Show madney karaoke, engagement ring being missing, proposal, hugs after hostage, this season cute date idea and excitement for the wedding then a simple where's chimney.

Then put the bachelor stuff then have him crawling.

Something as simple as that puts more of the focus on madney visually and marketing wise.

For the interviews they could've split it between Oliver talking about bisexuality and the other two talking about relationship and the high beats and low beats and how it felt to play.

How their relationship developed as costars and what the characters mean to them.

Split it down the middle so both fans are appeased.

I am a fan of all characters and this is really funny because I the first half of this one morning I woke up before the scene was even mentioned being cut but i was like there's a shift in something and it's not good🤣 as expected something went wrong)

Though I'm pretty sure the fans of both will be happy because Buddie are going to be the comic relief so they'll have a decent amount of time as the blockers so to say because we will know who's gonna kidnap Chimney. He only had one enemy??

But yeah this was a Tuesday thing I wrote and it's now very hilarious in hindsight and in the future.

Happy Madney day i guess!

This will be linked to Twitter cause whew...

All Kagehina “proof” I know of

Ok i wasnt gonna post this but ive been told by a friend to explain why some might ship Kagehina so... try me. i dont exactly ship this myself but lets just say im a pro when it comes to this topic also it's not as bad as i thought it was there are worse ships idk why i was a hater also i lowkey got some of this from shipping wiki but most of it i knew already, plus NOT ALL OF THIS IS NECESSARILY REFERENCES TO THE SHIP it kinda just adds on to it anyways lets just get into it

ok so starting with common knowledge i think everyone knows that Hinata is the protagonist followed with Kageyama being the deuteragonist, they get the most screen time together and are pretty much paired MOST of the series, we get a lot of content with them together while also getting content of them on their own, they're known as the "freak duo," the "greatest teammates" and like 100 other names they've been called I've seen a lot of people intemperate their relationship wrong, I've seen a few say Kageyama was downright "abusive" to Hinata which I think is a little farfetched, but to each their own! They genuinely do care for each other and it shows, even at the end of the manga you can tell how far their relationship has come, even if they consider themselves rivals, they are without a doubt still friends Now a lot of people have said "well they're not gay they're just friends", while this is true, it has been referenced/implied officially in many places, including manga panels and english dubs, so while it isn't canon there is a few cute things about it which we know are official which is why I'm sharing this, I myself know it isn't canon, plus I didn't really make this to prove anything it was kinda for fun sorry if that made little to no sense but I'll start getting into more interesting stuff 1. at the tip of the iceberg we have the fact they're in so much official art together

theres like a 1000 more of these btw theyre often put near eachother even in official arts not based off them

I have like 1k more of these but i have more proof than this but i think you get my point some of this is probably promo art but that's also considered official art so 2. moving on i think another known one is that Ukai calls them lovebirds ONE TIME in English dub and I have no idea who approved that but I think it's funny and obviously this probably meant nothing but take it as you want video of it here 3. this is kinda randomly thrown in but the fact that they also trust eachother, they've mentioned it a couple times but I think it's nice to know 4. i dont remember when this was or what chapter or something but kageyamas grandfather said "somebody even better will come for you", which just happened to be Hinata of course 5. ALSO after that whole fight scene back in season two, Hinata says this

he didnt really consider kageyama as a friend, but he considered him a partner which i believe is more important to hinata. teammates/partners were always something Hinata wanted, as before he went to Karasuno, he didn't feel like his friends in Junior high were necessarily teammates. Meaning he valued Kageyama more because he was his partner.

(credits to triananero for these images) and when him and Kageyama started working together, they most definitely were perfect together, as they balanced each-other out, which made them become an unstoppable duo or whatever they called them 6. the fact that they have matching jersey numbers 9 and 10 moving on to less canon stuff, there is a light novel of Haikyuu called Haikyū!! Shōsetsuban!! which probably isnt close to canon but Furudate was a part of it even though it wasn't written by him, so it's at least somewhat official 7. anyway according to shipping wiki there is a chapter where Kageyama feels "fluttery feelings at the bottom of his stomach" when Hinata texts him, it's on volume 8 chapter 1, I REALLY WANTED TO SHOW YOU GUYS BUT I COULDNT FIND IT ANYWHERE ONLINE. i searched countless tumblr posts and websites but i could only find chapter five and chapter three so im fully convinced this is lost media LMAOOOO 8. also in Haikyū!! Shōsetsuban!! apparently there's a part where Hinata daydreams about him and Kageyama eating under cherry blossom trees i just found that cute AS MUCH AS I WANNA SHOW YOU GUYS I LITERALLY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING OF THIS LIGHT NOVEL ANYWHERE i just know it's real, if I ever get my hands on it which I doubt, I'll share proof it exists btw AND THIS IS REALLY RANDOM AND SOMEONE WANTED ME TO INCLUDE THIS BUT 9. Basically there was a ad for deodorant a couple years back, collabing with Haikyuu, where you could buy deodorants to “smell like them” or whatever, some shippers believe it’s a Kagehina reference as they also advertised Kageyama and Hinatas scents together as some like matching couple thing

and then there's this

And I think I've said enough, there's way more you can find out about this ship, but I hope with this post you've learned something new or whatever... I MIGHT MAKE THIS A SERIES should i do kenhina next or kuroken ANYWAYS DISCLAIMER I didnt look too much into most of these things but I can gaurentee this stuff is true also this was just for fun and not serious but i hope you liked my little post!

#haikyuu #kagehina #im just rambling #kageyama #tobio kageyama #haikyuu!! #ship #um #PLS ignore all the grammar mistakes i made this wasnt supposed to be serious #i love hinata shouyou #hinata shouyou #shippingpost #haikyu #hi #wht ship should i do next

Idk if I'm ever gonna finish the refs for my redacted ocs, but here are their logos

I could make some doodles of their designs or smth idk....

I wrote some info about them under the cut if ya curious (that ended up being a lot longer than I expected so behold)

Taurus

I already made a ref sheet for Taurus so I already wrote down some info about him there so you can go see that if you wanna

I can only imagine since I established that he's friends or at least knows every single redacted de(a)mon and also is a part of the chorus that if he would be on the redacted channel he'd successfully force himself into practically every storyline.

Practically all redacted ocs that I made I more imagine as side characters than as "main" characters so they don't really have a listener, but I guess his listener would technically be freelancer.

I imagine he remembers the cacophony well, even though he wants to forget it.

Gin Asari

I'm very aware that Gin wouldn't really work as a character since, to be a sibling to a listener would mean to not have them have a distinct background, race or gender (or at least agab) since this is specifically an identical twin brother, because unless them and the listener are not blood related (and in this case they are) the characters background, race and gender would allude to the listeners background, race and gender which you're not supposed to do. But because I have already made up the listeners background race and gender as if they were an oc as most people do, I haven't really thought about this.

Anyways, this is Gin Asari! Lovely's twin brother! And if you haven't noticed they are the main character of the oc fic I wrote some time ago. I actually made 4 more chapters for that fic but didn't post it since I thought it wasn't good enough and also people hate fics written in first person for some reason.

I don't really remember why I made this oc either, I guess just because I wanted to explore the idea of a electro-energetic baddy, even though they don't really have their electric powers yet since they haven't experienced a traumatic enough experience and Lovely hasn't told them in fear that they would try to traumatize themselves on purpose to get them. I also wanted to explore Adam's backstory through them (btw I fucking struggled to make the timelines align to find out what age they are).

For those of you who haven't read the fic ("the fic" meaning also the chapters I didn't publish so I guess that's like all of you) here's a quick summary: Lovely's twin brother (who at this point isn't in contact with Lovely since Lovely ran away from their parents when they were 16) is chilling in med school with their roommate: Adam Jessup. That is, all until Adam disappears one day and is found dead in a car crash, except, Adam didn't really die and he just got turned willingly. Adam returns one year later by sneaking into Gin's room. There, Adam descides to feed on them and after realizing they're willing to let him feed on them, let's them live and starts a very unhealthy relationship where he returns to feed on them every week or so. That is until he gets addicted to their humanborn latent electro energetic blood and every week or so becomes every night. The induced anemia and stress from overworking themselves due to their parent's high expectations, Gin's mental state starts to decline. That is until they find out that Adam is a literal serial killer and he basically tries to murder them since they didn't want to continue their relationship. They run away to Dahlia, both from him and from their parents, until a couple of years later they meet Lovely, now a vampire, by chance, and they catch up and learn that Adam has been upgraded to a decapitated skeleton under a broken down rollercoaster.

I realize that I mostly wrote their backstory and not their current story, like I don't really know what happens after they catch up with Lovely. Do they descide to keep in touch with the Solaire clan or do they go back to their normal life? Does Lovely tell them about the whole electric energetic thing? Do they befriend the other vampires? I don't know! I haven't decided yet.

Methuselah

I'm trying to figure out what this fool's nickname would be besides just Meth.

I thought to myself "what was the first de(a)mon created like? What are they doing?" So I started brainstorming ideas until they eventually became an oc.

So Methuselah (named after the oldest known star, I wanted to be the first star given a name but all that popped up was the oldest star), an inchoate, the first created demon, the one who has lived for thousands of years, fought in the cacophony and created the chorus and serve as kind of a makeshift leader of it.

Some may say that Meth here is what you would call a mary sue but you know as they say when I create a character that's the world's best assassin, a science experiment possessed by a god of anger who has a corrupted form that slowly kills them when they use it, they get called a Mary Sue, but when Asagiri Kafka does it it's "I love Chuuya Nakahara!!"

If Taurus is jaded by his long ongoing life Methuselah is the most jaded of them all. Just basically barely cares about the things going around them. Even if they did care about keeping relationships everyone except some of the chorus members is scared of them due to their overwhelming power, both magical and political.

When the ruling council descided to include de(a)mons in it they were the first demon asked if they would want to join as a representative for inchoate demons their response was to spit in their face and say "was that the answer you were looking for?"

I imagine that they are currently dealing with the whole Hush situation, and that in the first time in thousands of years, they're scared of death. After the cacophony in which they almost died, saw many deaths including the death of their first and only friend, they thought that if another life threatening situation occurred they wouldn't be scared to die for the cause, but now that they're faced with a person that is not only stronger than them but could kill them in a second, they're scared of death after so many years of being untouchable.

Miles Deen

One time, my lovely mutual @cyc-chilla once said in a post about wether or not redacted characters get biches, that Frederick only seems to attract extremely shady and terribly shifty dumpster opossum men, and I thought to myself "he absolutely does"

So Miles Deen was born.

If you identify as a garbage dwelling raccoon trash goblin you obviously haven't met Miles

The icon of the two bandaids and the description of "the thrall" doesn't encapsulate him well enough, it should've been an icon of a garbage can and he should've been titled "the trash dweller" if I wanted to be accurate.

Basically, Miles is an informed unempowered guy who was a couple of years ago attacked by a shade, but instead of having all of his life force drained, he only got half of his life force drained and later found out via seer that he would only live to 27 (he's currently 25, 21 when he found out)

He's also homeless because he got kicked out of his parents house after he couldn't find a job due to his clinical depression, so as you can imagine his life wasn't looking too good.

But, he descided to keep living and use the fact that he's going to die young as a motivator to live without fear and also made a bucket list of things he wanted to do before he died.

One of those things was being fed on by a vamp, and that is how he finds himself on Solaire clan territory and is found by Fred. The rest is history.

Fred is convinced he is insane but he kinda likes that about him. Bright eyes does not like him at all.

He somehow always gets himself into trouble and then the clan is forced to protect him in all kinds of batshit situations.

If he was actually on the redacted channel, he'd probably never appear or would maybe be mentioned by name once, just because I descided to make a character for a deleted discontinued series.

Sadly, I think his story probably would end with him dying peacefully in his sleep, since he wouldn't want to get turned and him getting turned would be kinda a stupid thing writing wise since it's kinda stupid to build up the idea of a character dying only to have them live anyway (and his whole character is built on the idea that he's going to die young)

Ezra Solaire

One day, I thought to myself "Christian needs a gay awakening" and so he did.

Ezra is a cayote shifter and part of the Solaire clan, raised by William since birth.

He seems very sweet, and he is but he's also brutally honest.

He'd never let a vamp feed on him (William even set up that you are to be executed if you attempt to feed on him without his permission) but he does donate blood to the clan often. He has so many "I donated blood" stickers.

I imagine he's friends with Darlin', which is how he ended up meeting the Shaw pack

I keep thinking about what his talk with William would be like after the summit, cause it would be absolutely heartbreaking

Because I imagine Ezra was one of the people that wasn't told about the plan, so with Ezra who just wanted a normal life, now learning that the Solaire clan which they already didn't like being in since about 90% of the clan didn't like them, is/is going to become some sort of vigilante assassin squad and also feeling like their relationship with the Shaw pack is destroyed, the place where they actually felt like they had a normal life and a family, I can only imagine how upset they'd be.

But on the other hand, William is like a father to him and he couldn't imagine how it would be to leave him, and he'd also be leaving behind the few people he was close friends with in the clan (like Vincent) and he also wouldn't think it would be right to have William supporting him financially with a house and a job when he was leaving the clan, so he would have not only have his financial and social support cut, but also physical since, I forgot to mention but, he has multiple sclerosis and is disabled, so he sometimes needs a caregiver to help him do everyday tasks (which would usually be by William, Vincent or an assistant William hired). So yeah, I can only imagine how he must feel.

Atlas Madden

Watch out John I'm stealing your name or smth

To be completely transparent, I did create Atlas just to ship him with Scorpius. I know I'm cringe but I'm free

Atlas is a freelancer who works as a healer, but also has an interest in water magic and shifter magic. How is a non-shifter good at shifter magic? He isn't! He likes morphing into a disturbing half wolf half human creature and scaring people in it!

So umm I may have brainstormed Scorpiuses backstory on a whim by accident...whoops...hate when that happens

So going forward any Scorpius lore I drop is my headcannons and not actual lore

I swear this is important to Atlas

Okay so: I imagine that before being captured by close knit Scorpius worked in this kind of strip club where the whole shtick was that incubi were the strippers. The strippers weren't also escorts but if they chose you you could potentially go home with them.

That's how Scorpius and Atlas met.

Atlases friends brought him to this strip club mostly as a joke and Atlas was kinda uncomfortable the whole time.

Until he caught Scorpiuses eye, who then decided to enact his flirt persona and bring him home.

After that, Atlas eventually became his charge and they would meet every so often.

They both agreed for no strings attached, Scorpius didn't really like hookup culture but needed to get energy one way or another, but Atlas wanted him to know that he respected him as a person and wanted them to be at least friends.

One day, Atlas pushed the friendliness a little too far and Scorpius told him that he doesn't need to try to appeal to him so he could feel like a good person. Atlas got offended by this because he really just wanted to be nice, not because he wanted to pat himself on the back.

An argument ensued and Scorpius left without getting an energy feeding. He went on, trying to find somebody else to feed on, and that is when he gets tricked and captured by close knit. With no way to communicate to Atlas, Atlas believes Scorpius left him for good.

I have a lot more planned out for them but that takes place after Scorpius leaves the basement, which as you can see he hasn't yet, so I'm obviously waiting til that happens so I'm not writing lore for something that hasn't happened yet.

So um yeah

episode 1 commentary - This Will Be Us

Lockwood and Co on Netflix

spoilers obviously (for both the books and the show), and I'm gonna put swearing even though I haven't written anything yet, I was apparently very in love with all three of them and also I was very feral about lockwood too (that's definitely a warning)

edit: definitely swearing, and also there's no context for most of this so if you don't know the show that well then good luck (and go watch it, it's really good!)

omg I just realised that the first episode starts with a ghost lamp and the last episode starts with a ghost lamp

cameron's voice omg

cameron's hands omg

I need to calm down it's like 30 seconds in

I love that before they show their faces they show all the equipment it really sets the vibe omg

"Greek fire, which should only ever be used indoors under carefully controlled circumstances" lol

don't think of another four, Lockwood, you don't remember the ones 6 you have

lockwood straightening up his tie and sniffing is so funny to me and idk why

I love that they use the shadow inside mrs hope's house!!!

"problem" being emphasised omg (I'm almost certainly reading into everything too much)

Cameron Chapman you beautiful beautiful boy

omg I just realised they switched lockwood and lucy's lines around??? in the books lockwood's the one who calls adults useless and I think that sets up his charm in the show so much better but also sets up their personalities much better? like lockwood is the charming smiley one that everyone loves, and Lucy is prone to being a bit of a menace

the way lockwood looks around at her after she says adults are useless 💀

mrs hope is so much posher than I remember her being

love that she just ignores lockwood and only talks to lucy

omg they swapped again, in the book lockwood is the one who says 'the cleverer one' after Lucy asks 'sarcastic or ironic?' - don't get me wrong I love this show so much but I feel like it takes away some of lockwood's childish-ness (idk if that's a word)? like in the books he's quite often just a silly little boy making jokes

his hands

I love that they have loads of green lighting

oh lockwood you silly little man you absolutely need chains

eat that biscuit luce (now I want a biscuit)

wooo ghost

yeah no shit lockwood

yeah no shit lockwood

"been too busy trying to make contact with the living" mood

"of course she is, she's dead" lockwood my man 💀

how the hell did Lucy manage to hold on to that painting I would have just fallen off and died

omgomgomg starting credits omgomgomg

ew mrs carlyle can go suck a dick

Lucy looks like she'd much rather be anywhere else in the world

ugh don't say that "gonna give me a smile, young lady?" fuck off

omg Lucy :(

I love that they show us the defences omg

Lucy and norrie omg

"the more proficient you become, the longer you'll live" how come that doesn't happen with lockwood then bc he's very proficient with a rapier but he has such a death wish

oh luce

"we'll be on the cover of every magazine" crazy how in the space of less than a year Lucy changes from being like lockwood and wanting to be "the most famous agents in the country" to not wanting her face on tv or on any papers at all

Marissa fittes? coming back? from the dead? whaaat that would never happen norrie don't be sillyyyy

THIS WILL BE US omg I never realised I always thought it was like 'oh, this'll be us' like George or lockwood saying that to Lucy when she first comes to Portland Row bc that's what people say when they're being walked back or something idk I just never realised it was Lucy and norrie???

is anything more lesbian than giving your solemn and binding promise to each other and then threading your fingers through her hair?

everything points to a type one bro shut the fuck up

"she changed everything" Marissa sure did

"closer to her than you'll ever be. closer to history" oh my dear Jacobs, you have no idea what lucy's gonna do

Paul you are so right you would love to meet George (kinda sad they didn't meet tbh)

Jacobs you prick

ngl that ghost sounds terrifying wtf

Paul don't be silly

don't be silly paul

idiots

Jacobs you prick

JACOBS YOU PRICK

what did Lucy trip over?

:(((( Paul :((((

no way that bastard didn't hear her screaming

JACOBS YOU PRICK

YOU DID HEAR CRIES FOR HELP YOU PRICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

can you tell I'm mad I was so angrily smashing that k key

norrie :(((((((

SHE DIDNT CAUSE THEIR DEATHS OMG YOU BITCH

omg parallel!! bc lockwood thinks he caused his family's death (especially jess') even though he didn't and Lucy didn't cause their deaths but she doesn't blame herself

"you are deader than dead" ooooo burn

where tf did she get that sellotape from

omg fittes building

is there anything more British than a really long queue

poor babygirl is hungry :(((

paused to read the paper cutting of lockwood and co's ad and I can just imagine lockwood telling George what to put omg "prestigious Psychical Investigations agency", "well dressed", "UNSUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS will include time-wasters, fraudsters and persons with criminal records" love the range there

also the address is literally just 35 Portland Row, London, like is there only one 35 Portland Row in the entirety of London??? apparently so

AAA PORTLAND ROW

AAA GEORGE

he looks and sounds so dead inside

omg it's so homely

she's a wimp

George wtf "see, told you so, okie-dokie"

heart eyes immediately lol (honestly same I love them both - the joys of being bi ig)

"hello, I'm Anthony Lockwood" hello, I'm your future wife

make the tea and drink the extra cup, George, that's what I would do

I love that he doesn't pressure her for the story!!! because he knows what that's like!!!

Anthony Lockwood chooses bourbons everyone

Skully!!!

George picking up his comic is so passive aggressive

are all of his family dead wtf?

he's so excited to talk about Harold beck

George is interested now ooo creepy cup

I love that Lucy and George immediately don't like each other

omg George's laugh

jokes on you lockwood's parents are dead (bad joke)

"deep armchair" I'm sure it is, Georgie.

"miss carlyle" bro

you can definitely give me a tour of the house anytime (especially your room)

"teen prodigy slays the competition" fuck yeah he slays

if you pause the episode and squint really hard you can read the article on the fencing matches he did and they actually wrote an article - my favourite quote (from what I could make out) is "Kipps attempted a few bold lunges but missed Lockwood each time"

also he looks so happy in the photo omg so baby

his hands

HIS HANDS omg I think I'm going feral for them

his smile ughhhhh

lockwood you're talking very fast I can't keep up

the face he makes when he turns the smoke jets on his fucking hilarious

literally this one:

also the way he stands??? I think I'm in too deep oh dear

"high security storeroom" sure honey tell yourself that

HIS SMILE

if lockwood was my landlord I don't think I'd have quite so much stress about finding a place to rent next year

HIS. SMILE.

"you saw those" yeah of course she did, they're in plain view bestie

"that's... if you'll take the job?" bro's so in love and he doesn't even know it yet (I need to stop using bro unironically bc it's making me sad)

HIS. SMILE.

can you tell I love his smile

George just spawning out of nowhere with no trousers on

if I didn't already know that Georgie really needs a wee I'd be able to tell from how he answered her questions before she'd even finished talking

AAAAAAA A A A AAAAAAAAAA

your honour I love him

ok but the apple core being left on a chair is such a boy thing my brother does that

bitch why do you wanna see his picture you've got the real thing right in front of you

ok but if he talked to me the way he talks to Lucy in the library I would simply pass away

"I want you to be part of it" OKAY SIR. OKAY.

"how do I know you're good enough for me?" cuts to him saving her life

he did not need to do that fancy kick off the wall but he did it anyway

okay but they hold each other so much it's ridiculous

why can't someone hold me like that

"ghosts don't have feelings" 🥺

"oops" lockwood I love you but you can't just break the circle

"you've done that already, try something new why don't you" 😭

oh no

fire

boy desperately calls out for his wife when she stares at a dead body instead of jumping from a burning building

[eccentric-nucleus]

actually if i'm gonna make a games rec post.

here are some games i have enjoyed recent-ish.

kenshi. an open-world squad-based rpg with base-building elements. get stronger by getting beaten up. lose a fight and get knocked out, have your weapons and food taken by the bandits that mugged you and left you bleeding to death. get rescued by some slavers that capture you and sell you into slavery. free yourself from slavery and limp away until you roll in hours later with a whole squad of overpowered fighters. then head a little bit too far south and get murdered by skin bandits. they take your skin. this is a completely self-directed game; there's no "main plot", although arguably "figure out the history of the world" is kind of the main 'story' mystery. there's also a bunch of unique recruitable characters with custom-written interactions. i usually recruit exclusively from freeing slaves but you can do w/e.

wildmender. a survival gardening game. this one came out recently and the devs are still releasing bugfixes; it's unclear if they'll make large content patches in the future. apparently multiplayer can still be pretty glitchy, and there's a water flow bug that i've been finding very frustrating. the way biomes work is kind of unsatisfying. kind of slim content-wise, but still, i really enjoyed what's there. out of all of the climate change terraforming anxiety games i've seen, this has been the one i've most enjoyed.

hellpoint. a scifi soulslike made by a team of like 12 people. previously i had thought things like "it would be neat if dark souls was less linear". hellpoint is a great example of why that might be a nightmare. the areas are connected in such a complex way, with one-way routes and branching unlock keys and secret paths and hidden doors behind hidden doors that it gets profoundly disorienting. a hint: almost every single hidden door in the game (there are a lot) is the middle panel of the same exact three-paneled-wall geometry. once you notice what it is you will see it everywhere. also, the enemy designs are hot.

crystal project. remember playing fan translations of final fantasy v? remember wandering around in old mmos? crystal project is kind of a... turn-based rpg mmo-influenced platformer. with a job system. you can sequence break the game from the tutorial level and also at basically every other point in the game too, although until you know what to look for it might seem like there's a linear critical path. but there's a lot out there. hint: play on easy mode. the combat gets tough later on and the game absolutely expects you to be finding and exploiting some class combinations.

astlibra: revision. a sidescrolling rpg. it must have been released episodically originally or some of the chapter pacing makes no sense. also it was originally released with a mess of art sourced from all sorts of places; 'revision' is a re-release with a more unified art style. it gets extremely anime all the time. there's a whole obligatory section where you have to ask all the women in a town about what kind of panties they're wearing. it's rough. i enjoyed how chaotic the systems are and how much Stuff there is to pick up and upgrade and unlock. the plot goes some unexpected places though it doesn't quite stick the landing, i still enjoyed what it did. also karon should be the love interest instead.

silicon zeroes. a cpu-building puzzle game. this straddles the line between the tech/code games that are literally just "learn a new language and code in it" and ones that are more structure-themed like, idk, spacechem. connect modules to assemble solutions to problems. it takes too long to get to chapter 3, which is where they start asking you to make entire cpus.

ashen. another souls-like. i just really like the environments in this one. the initial area looks gorgeous and the way it changes through the game is really neat to see happen. the seat of the matriarch is wonderfully awful to traverse and i wish there had been two or three more dungeons like it in the game. you can't level up; you gain stats mostly by progressing sidequests and the name quest. i eventually ran out of things to spend money on AND inventory space to store items. the late-game tuning is a little rough but until then it's great. a hint: there are three weapon types and within that type nearly all the weapons are identical. you get thrown so many weapons that don't matter; don't worry about collecting all of them. see above re: running out of space and things to use money for.

i guess it would be cheating to recommend minecraft regrowth or morrowind but i have also been playing those.

[nobodysdaydreams]

@mahpotatoequeen thank you for tagging me!

How many works do you have on AO3? only 11, but I make up for it in word count.

What’s your total AO3 word count? 468,908 words (sorry)

How many fandoms have you written for, and what are they? Only three fandoms. TMBS (show and books, idk if these count as separate) and wolf 359.

Top five fics by kudos:

So...I'm in some pretty small fandoms and only started writing last year so I don't have a lot of high kudos fics. But this is what I got so far:

S.O.S

The Oldest Siblings

Who You Were Meant To Be / Treat Them With(out) Mercy (tied)

It Should Have Been Us

A Joy To Obey

Honorable mention: The highest Wolf 359 fic I have since I only started writing for that fandom like a week ago (it's a nice fic about Renee and Dominik for anyone interested): For Better or For Worse

Do you respond to comments?

Of course! I love hearing from you guys and discuss my work, fandom theories and ideas.

What’s the fic with the angstiest ending you’ve ever written?

My tmbs followers know the answer to that question. Sorry S.O.S. fans (but also: not sorry at all).

Edit: Also, how did I forget, but my tmbs fic The Boys Who Waited, has a super angsty ending. It's one of my lesser known fics, but I do really like how it comes full circle in the end and you don't realize the implications of what's happening until the fic is over.

As for my Wolf 359 fics, I'd say the one with the angstiest ending is my most recent fic about Jacobi dealing with the loss of Kepler. The fic received positive critical review from the esteemed @sophieswundergarten, but the last chapter does end on a slightly ominous note/cliff hanger. Here it is if you want to check it out: The Legacy of the Artist Formerly Known As Warren Kepler (or An Ode to Whiskey Boy)

Do you write crossovers?

Not really. Some of my fics blend the show and book elements of tmbs, or reference the other, but not to the point of what I'd call a "cross over"

Have you ever gotten hate on a fic?

Not on my fics. I think a few times on my blog, but I don't have time to think about or deal with that. I'm also neurodivergent, so sometimes I have trouble knowing whether people are actually insulting me or doing or saying something "as part of a joke". I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Do you write smut?

Nope, it's not for me.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I hope not, and I don't think so. I write for really small fandoms. It would be pretty obvious if someone did.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but @sophieswundergarten recently made a podfic of the first chapter of my fic Who You Were Meant To Be and that made my whole day! 🥰 The link to the podfic is in the chapter notes if you want to listen.

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

I don't do a lot of shipping. I wrote a few things about Renee Minkowski/Dominik Koudelka, but they're married in canon so a lot of that wrote itself. (Works are here if you're interested: For Better or For Worse / The Return of the Blessed)

What’s a WIP that you want to finish, but don’t think you ever will?

All of my SOS sequels. I'm going to try though. We'll see what happens.

What are your writing strengths?

Long fic. I can take an idea and run with it. I'm also good a picking up where I series left things off or when a show gets cancelled and leaves a cliff hanger.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Short fic. I wrote around 7k-8k words for a Wolf 359 fic and someone commented how happy they were that they "finally got a long fic about this". And I was flattered, but like. 7-8k words???? LONG????

...who's gonna tell them?

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fics?

I've only done this a few times. I try my best and do as much research as I can. I want it to be accurate though, so if you're a native speaker, and I got something wrong, feel free to (politely) lmk so I can fix it.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written so far?

For the tmbs fandom S.O.S. since it's what I'm known for, but also Who You Were Meant To Be because I love a good redemption story and I've gonna a lot of really nice feedback on it.

For the Wolf359 fandom, weirdly enough, The Return of the Blessed, which is based on my own unhinged crack theory, but I love writing it.

Tagging: @itsgoghtime @oflightningandstars @myfairkatiecat @mysteriouseggsbenedict @heyitsthatonesmolgay and anyone else who wants to participate!

[unhingedlesbear]

Okay fuck it yeah I'm making the post idc abt backlash. First of all the hidden agenda fandom doesn't exist anymore so whos even gonna have an issue. But if you do feel called out um. Maybe thats ur problem idk bc I'm not aiming at anyone in particular here.

Anyway long ass ramble abt the tiny dead Hidden Agenda fandom below the cut

This is mainly something I noticed looking through the very limited amount of Hidden Agenda fics on ao3, but it's VERY obvious on there. The vast majority of fics on there are centered on Adam and Finn, which I can understand more since they have an interesting backstory and are well written characters, sure. But then you look at the others and the other characters that are centered are... Riggs and Calvary?

In the actual game ofc Becky and Felicity are the main characters. Both of them not only are pretty objectively interesting characters on their own, and even more so together. On top of this they have the most shipping potential of any two characters in that game, it's literally basically canon, it's not even subtext atp it's literally just text. NO other two characters have that amount of chemistry in the game, and yet there is a noticeable lack of gravey fics in that tag. And I'll stress again bc I know how defensive people got last time I made this kind of observation, I'm not pointing fingers or calling anyone misogynistic/racist/homophobic BUT. but. When the two mcs are women, one of which is poc, and they're implied to be lesbians, and they get sidelined by the fandom despite being the focuses of the game... it's kinda hard not to assume there's some kind of bias there.

And on another point, it's similar when it comes to supporting characters too. In a way I'm disappointed but absolutely not surprised that Adam/Finn is prioritized in fan works over Becky/Felicity, but when characters like Riggs and Calvary are also given more attention than them it becomes way more suspicious to me. Riggs is a fine character, I like him enough and I can see why others might like him more, but wbk he doesn't really have all that much relevance. Calvary is even more confusing bc he basically JUST exists to be a creepy misogynistic asshole and as unlikeable as possible. Thankfully I haven't seen him getting a lot of attention but the fact that I've seen him getting any that isn't entirely negative is... hm...

Now there ARE in fact male characters that can be both relevant and likeable: Tom and Karl. (I talk shit abt Karl bc it's a joke I started with friends, I'm gonna drop that for this post obv bc we're being fr here) these two are pretty obviously more relevant than Riggs or Calvary, they're literally Becky's partners (Tom can even replace Riggs' entire role lmao, and if he's replaced himself it's by Karl) and I'd say they're also both likeable characters on their own too. And yet I'm pretty sure I found maybe one??? fic with them in it? Probably should have mentioned this earlier but yeah, they're both poc.

So like... I feel like it all comes down to what Becky/Felicity/Tom/Karl have in common and then what Adam/Finn/Riggs/Calvary have in common. It strikes me as questionable. But like maybe I'm just an annoying snowflake though idk🤷‍♀️ /s

This turned into more of a ramble than anything and I'm aware i'm also yelling into a void bc I'm posting entirely for a dead fandom that barely existed to begin with, but tbh this stuff applies to most if not all larger fandoms as well, i'm just looking at it from what I've seen in the remnants of the HA fandom. Again I am not attacking anyone here, I am making observations. If you're like mad or something I'm just gonna assume you didn't even read the whole post. Yes ur allowed to like characters, but I am also allowed to address what I've noticed about what characters seem to be more liked than others.

#uh oh #if I get burned at the stake for this one too then I don't even know atp #hopefully I won't be though bc not many people gaf abt Hidden Agenda #Hidden agenda smg #🏃‍♀️

[etherealnoir]

Thoughts on Dhan Rana (S1 E5)

One thing I LOVE about Found is that everybody starts out as kind of a broad archetype of a character, and each one has been slowly getting deconstructed with each episode. We also learn more and more about relationship dynamics with each episode. We're only on episode 5 and we've already learned so much.

TL;DR: Dhan is a wonderful character who kind of surprised me. I didn't expect to love him as much as I do. I like that Gabi and Margaret are super protective of him, and in turn, he's fiercely protective of them. I'm excited to see his character grow. I also don't really like his relationship with his husband from the little bit we've seen. It's just not sitting right with me.

More detailed thoughts below the cut.

In THIS episode we learned that baby boy CANNOT be alone. He doesn't do well. It's connected to his trauma from being held captive for 3 years. Which is such a long fucking time and I think the longest kidnapping situation we've seen from the group thus far (I don't think we don't know how long Zeke was gone, yet...please correct me if we do).

In a passing conversation around episode one or two, his husband was revealed to be a therapist (whether his husband was HIS therapist or just so happened to be a therapist is unclear, but I still have my reservations). His husband mentioned that Dhan should give Zeke grace, because Dhan was in a similar position to Zeke not too long ago. He also added that they "worked on it" together. Again, idk if his husband was HIS therapist, or if he meant they worked on it as a couple.

We've only seen Dhan's husband once, and Dhan speaks fondly of him on the rare occasion that he's mentioned. But...I think the one thing that kind of stuck out to me is how much he can't quite function without his husband in the house. Like at all. He can't sleep, he doesn't groom himself, he doesn't dress himself (not really). It took all of one day (presumably) for Dhan to unravel in his husband's absence. The team also pointed out that this happens OFTEN every time his husband leaves. If Dhan's husband is a therapist, it's just odd to me that there were no safeguards in place when there's probably a strong understanding that being alone is triggering for him. It gives me this vibe that Dhan's recovery is wholly reliant on codependency with his husband. It also proves that though Dhan may have worked on his recovery with his husband...I don't think he worked on it alone. Which is SUPER important.

I'm gonna put my shipper goggles away for like 5 seconds but I feel like Dhan is beginning to learn a lot from Zeke. More than he realized he would. On some level, I think he's beginning to understand that even though he's not necessarily in the same place he was before, mentally and emotionally, he still has a LOT of work to do. And I like that he and Zeke have found companionship over it, because they're both on different paths of recovery but still fully understand what the other person is going through.

Another thing that stuck out to me is how protective Gabi is of Dhan. I've said it before, but Dhan is clearly her ride of die. I still have the belief that he knows Hugh is in that basement. But it became even more obvious when she rushed to hug Dhan and check his injuries after the fight with Manny in the kitchen where he was almost shot. Both Margaret and Gabi seem super protective of Dhan. It makes me wonder what he was like when they first met him.

Anyway Dhan is a wonderfully written character. I like that it didn't take 3 seasons for us to finally see the sarcastic, cool guy character show GENUINE FEAR, anxiety, and vulnerability.
