request: Rise!Leo x reader who is very muscly and just... scoops Leo up bridal-style. Bonus if Leo short-circuits with the most flabbergasted look on his face 😂 ~🌺👸 (can be male/female/gn, though I think female would be hilarious)
Tumblr media
🝮 “ gotcha, leo’s wrong! ”
rise!leo x male!reader
author’s note: I made it a male reader because I liked the idea of a cheeky dude throwing off Leo lmao. Uses “You/your” for the most part, so folks who aren’t dudes can read moderately easily, or you can imagine yourself as a cool guy! 🤷‍♂️ :33 It can be read as romantic or not, mainly just a bit flirty here and there but if you’re like me, you flirt with your friends for fun, so good luck with however you read this! 💃
word count: 909
Tumblr media
Anyone friends with these boys is bound to end up with some muscles at one point. Be it by seeing them training and just joining in for fun, simply being a hobby of yours, getting pressured to join after one too many scares, or just ending up roped into danger enough times that naturally you got to this point, at this point any answer could do. Probably more than one answer applies, too.
But regardless, that’s how you ended up where you are today, actually training in their space on your own. Since the Kraang, it was an understatement to say that they began training more. It started out a bit rough, given their wounds, so you joined alongside them to help go through the process with them—at least until they were healed. But frankly, it’s a bit fun to keep it up, so sometimes they could find you meddling around in the training space on your own.
Beginning to wind down, you were settling for your ending exercise: sitting form, one hand in your thigh, the other hand resting against the adjacent thigh, pumping a weight up and down a tad bit leisurely. Amidst your focus on internal counting and perfected breaths, you hadn’t heard Leo come in, much less call out to you. It wasn’t until you had finished your last set that you noticed he had walked right on up to you and leaned over you. He smirked, chomping a Popsicle.
You shuddered at the idea of someone biting ice cream, but nonetheless brightened at the friendly sight.
“ Leo! How are you, man? “
He gave you a once-over, eyeing your arms for a bit.
“ Say, is it just me or have you managed to bulk up since training with us? “
He squinted accusatorially at your arms, this time taking a slower bite of his ‘sicle. Not because he noticed your shudder earlier, no, no, Leo would never purposely do something he knew was unnerving you. Heavens no, he was nothing like that, how dare you accuse him of such crimes?
You, on the other hand, already settled for shutting your eyes and turning your head.
“ S-So you notice, I did think my arms became a bit more toned! Maybe even as strong as Raph now. “
Y/N flexed his muscles, grinning in the purest way all the while. Leo couldn’t help but chuckle a bit at that, licking the final part of his Popsicle clean and checking if it had a joke. (spoiler: it didn’t, but I’ll make up one for you! What happened to David after he lost his ID? scroll for the answer!)
“ Doubtful. I don’t think anyone will be stronger than Raph. With training and just being the big brother, it’s basically an earned title. “
If you didn’t know any better, you would’ve thought Leo was puffing out his chest with pride for his older brother! The smile swelling on your cheeks at such a display was enough that when he looked back at you, he choked a second and nervously laughed it off. You didn’t miss that blushy hue stretching across his cheeks.
“ Doubtful? I bet I could even lift you up! “
This time it’s your turn, pointing an accusatory finger at him. For emphasis, you pressed your finger into his plastron and pushed off playfully.
“ Oh yeah? I call your bluff! “
“ You what? “
“ … I may have been hanging out with Donnie before I came here. “
Y/N shook his head with a pitiful laugh then looked at Leo with a trickster’s glint in their eye. Leo couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous, but before he could give a clever quip or anything, Y/N lunged forth and swept him right on up with a twirl placed at the end for a li’l extra pizzazz.
He stammered a few times, glancing down at the Popsicle stick he dropped amidst the lift. In a teasing tone, Y/N leaned his head a bit closer to his.
“ What’s wrong, Leon? Cat gotchur tongue? “
“ Whuh-huh-ha, n-no? Hey, jokes are my thing! ”
“ Riiight, so how do you feel about being wrong? “
Y/N smirked, spinning again and swaying the red-slider in his arms with ease. Now, had this been a few years ago, or even some months ago, this would have been impossible. So, yeah, there’s a high possibility you’re just messing with him for your own pride at this point.
“ Wrong!? W-Well.. “
Leo casted his glance everywhere but you, crossing his arm while twisting his lips before finally just huffing out frustratedly,
“ I don’t mind it! Frankly, I feel I SHOULD be carried, so—thank you! “
Still no eye contact, so you settled for a devious little plan.
“ For real? Alright, then you wouldn’t mind if I carried you around the lair for fun. “
“ Exact—! Wait what? He-Hey we can talk—Y/N! Y/N, WAIT—“
His pleas fell upon deafened ears as you waltzed out the room and through hallways—checking rooms—to show off your accomplishment. The reactions were mixed. You either got a, “ Whoa! Impressive! ” or someone (coughraphcoughdonniecoughsplintercough) laughing and exclaiming, “ Leo/Blue, your face! Aww, if somebody embarrassed. ” Or, both those reactions, somehow simultaneously.
But, Leo never pushed or pulled away from you, so, win/win?
Oh yeah, and the answer to the earlier joke was we just call him Dav now. Hehe, get it? Cause—Cause his name’s David, and he lost his ID… I can’t stop laughing, please.
I love dumb jokes.

hellsing pokemon au !!
as promised, im going back to my usual hellsing shenanigans with some pokemon stuff. ive had this in my brain for months but have never gotten around to doing anything with it! my autistic ass has absorbed information about pokemon before i could have normal thought patterns, so hopefully my takes are at least a little satisfying. feel free to interact with ur own thoughts and suggestions!
i provided long explanations of each, but if you dont want to read all that just look at the pictures :P
Tumblr media
long post ahead!
note: these aren't definitive teams, just me throwing around ideas. don't take this as the holy grail of headcanons or anything.
seras victoria
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
boltund would be her first pokemon i think, her main partner from before her work with the organization. togetic is here because idk im a togetic 4lifer and im a kinnie ? it just really made sense to me, just vibes, plus i think she really needed a flying type. may become a togekiss later, that would be cute. umbreon is pip's eevee that she evolved, and blastoise is a gift from walter. i think she needs more red pokemon to match her color palette and vampire vibes so ill probably add to this!
alucard
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
alucard needs a legendary of course, so darkrai. i think they would be good friends, they give the same "misunderstood tortured soul" vibes. houndoom to represent baskerville, noivern to fit the vampire/bat aesthetic.
and an important distinction:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i think girlycard should have a hisuian sneasel. they're the same critter. two ancient beings.
sir integra
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
im surprised with how much i struggled with this one. i feel like a fake fan. smh, anyways. sirfetch'd is perfect to me-even the unevolved farfetch'd is super fitting too-but i included the final form for this post. i wanted to stick with galar pokemon, but aegislash is literally a sword. cmon. stoutland is a recommendation from a friend that i 100% agree with. ive always associated her with the serperior line, so snivy was probably her starter. i think that'd be cute. im really open to suggestions on this one because i think she deserves more steel or normal types.
pip bernadotte
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is a big one! there were so many good options with pip... and i didnt even mean to color code it 😅 i wanted him to have an electric type to match seras (to add to the whole rivals-to-lovers aesthetic), so his main partner is raichu! it was between that or mudsdale, who i also really like (and is the only one on this team who cant be found in kalos, haha). i wanted him to have a bird (for the geese) so there's dodrio. scrafty and tauros just fit the vibe perfectly to me-they're sorta like honorable mentions. eevee is originally his but he eventually gives it to seras, who evolves it into umbreon. if pip would have kept it, i think it would have evolved into sylveon (the whole kalos thing).
walter c dornez
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
some interesting picks for walter. corvisquire is his main guy, his "angel of death", he's raised it from a rookidee since he was a kid. maybe it would evolve into corviknight when he becomes Dark Walter. not sure how that would work. i choose not to think about dark walter. bisharp is there for the steel typing vibes as well as the chess symbolism: it really hits right for me, with walter's arc being about how he's played as a "pawn", in a sort of way. also a nod to a very dear friend of mine who loves walter and the pawniard line respectively. :) now, why leavanny, you ask? it learns string shot, of course! also because id like to think he would raise a sewaddle in his old age to help him with things around the estate.
..aaand im out of room for images in the post! i'll make a part 2 with some bonus thoughts + the iscariot organization if i feel like it. bye for now!

We’ve had similar posts before, but I’d like to throw my hat (mate) into the ring. Conversations with my friend! They are a published author, so I thought I’d ask their opinion on BCs.🥹👉🏻👈🏻
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have never put much, if any stock in bonus chapters. I have always perceived them to be a little bit of fun, or slice of life for pov or side characters.
I have never come across a bonus chapter, particularly one that was so exclusive and limited (one language/one country/one store) and seen it contain any vital information for the series/next book. I am, frankly, unnerved by how much stock people have put into it.
Irrespective of ship wars, I firmly believe it’s utterly ridiculous to assume an author, with the backing of a big publisher would be so foolish as to do anything vital or essential in one, and risk alienating and insulting their casual reader base (the bulk of any series readers.)
I am just some girl from a semi-rural town in Australia, I can’t speak on BB or SJM. So..I thought id just ask someone who would have the ability to actually speak with authority on the matter. My friend was headhunted by a publishing company, and has experience actually writing bonus chapters. The screen shots above, are what they had to say on the matter. They have not read the series, and at present have no intention to. I also tried to be as accurate and unbiased as possible, considering I’m a ultimately just a “baby fan”. 😅
(I hope I tagged this right, bc I really don’t want to engage with people outside of my nice little elriel bubble 🥲)

If you haven't already! I would like to read your rant about addiction in homestuck
so i dont have any like, pre-written essays on it or anything its more like i just make scattered posts when it pops into my head + try to include it in fics (ive got a list of things i wanna take notes on during my next reread and addiction in general is one of them) but i am going to freestyle throw some thoughts down here 
breaking down addiction in homestuck requires:
-identifying the main addicts (gamzee = sopor, roxy & rose = alcohol)
-identifying how these characters are treated by the narrative* (are they allowed a voice? are they allowed to be sympathetic? dimensional?) (in gamzees case the answer is almost always no)
*not the characters. the characters can be cruel and dismissive of each other w/o it being the true takeaway of an exchange etc etc etc
there are certain things that pop up again and again in homestuck as an undesirable trait (in this case using undesirable as a negative quality that is not seen as deserving sympathy or care). addiction is one of them! reflecting on the root of the addiction isnt so important to the text as the ability to mock them for their perceived weakness and stupidity is.
roxy and gamzee in particular have similar bases to their addiction: theyre isolated, which, while a common trait in homestuck (the solitude of their irl spaces vs online spaces), is a unique isolation. theyre both without guardians to oversee them and more alienated (against their own desire not to be) from their friends than others.
roxy is one of only two humans on a post apocalyptic earth and, even tho she love love loves her friends she fades into the bg often (fitting for a void player). jane jake and dirk have their love triangle. dirk cant love her the way she wants him to and lil hal is ultimately untouchable. jane struggles to truly understand her. calliope has to interact with her through even more barriers (tangible and social, being a cherub). she just wants to feel close to someone! she wants to be put first. its sad. its painful. she doesnt want to wallow in it, and she doesnt want to potentially drive away her friends by not being silly bubbly roxy. so she turns to alcohol which helps keep her distracted and as a bonus, knocks her out for long stretches of time. it also could serve as a connection to her mother, given thats how she had access in the first place (oh, rose...).
so, roxy is the primary focus on addiction in homestuck but is she a well written example? debatable.
i love her of course and find her decently written up to a point--one point being how extremely rushed her recovery felt. the majority of act 6 is rushed. simply TOO MUCH is happening off screen. and this is where id really need a reread & notes to refresh…ive got a major in gamzeeism minor in lalondeism here. and gamzees addiction is easier to talk about bc he is initially a stoner joke, then an ableist psychotic stereotype, and ultimately blamed for every shortcoming both sober and high. no route is a win for him, no option would make the narrative more sympathetic to him.
idk how to end this post. uh. hope this was at all what you were hoping for. peace

6 Reasons Why I Bought this Awesome Booster Seat
New Post has been published on http://www.ourlittledinosaur.com/6-reasons-why-i-bought-this-awesome-booster-seat/
6 Reasons Why I Bought this Awesome Booster Seat
As of yet, I haven’t done any posts specifically reviewing a product. I am not being paid to write this review, nor did I receive the product for free. I just really like this product and I have found it extremely useful.
6 Reasons Why I Like the Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seat
No Storage Needed. Even when my family and I still lived in our house, the thought of finding a corner to park a full-size high chair in didn’t appeal to me at all. High chairs can be bulky, and let’s face it, even the high chairs that are made to fold down to be small enough to store, still aren’t all that much smaller. Now that we live in an apartment, I am all the more glad we bought something small. This booster seat attaches to a backed chair, with straps to secure it both behind the chair and under the chair. When the removable tray is off, I can push the chair in under the table just like all the other chairs. Once I clean the tray up, I can lay it sideways in the booster until the next meal. I can’t tell you how awesome this is! Well…actually I can! It’s never in the way! That’s definitely saying something in our apartment where space is sacred and hard to come by.
Budget Friendly. This high chair alternative is great for budget-conscious people. Today, it’s on Amazon for $28.75. Many high chairs range from $40 to over $150. It also can be used for babies and toddlers, which is my next point.
Great for Wide Range of Ages. Once your baby can sit up and is ready for those first bites of food, this chair is a great option for them. My son is now a toddler (sniff sniff – time flies!), and still uses the tray for now, but once he starts getting better at using utensils and can feed himself, we plan to take the tray off and push him up to the table so he can eat “like a big kid”. There are straps to keep the kiddos in their seat, which is a nice safety feature.
Great Portable Option. Need to take the booster seat on the go? No problem. Just turn the tray backwards and attach it to the top like a lid, buckle the strap, and throw it over your shoulder. It’s extremely light and I just watched a friend of mine leave our play date with the booster, two kids, and the diaper bag, with no problem. Here are some ideas on where you can use this booster seat.
Grandparents or other family’s homes for events and holidays
Friend’s home for play dates
Restaurants (Just be sure their chairs have a back to keep your little one safe.
In your home for every day use!
Easy to Clean. There is no cloth to clean, and the smooth plastic on this booster seat makes it really easy to wipe down. The straps are also removable and I’ve thrown them in the laundry once or twice to clean. The tray is also dishwasher safe, which is a bonus!
Durability. We have been using this seat for over a year, and it looks as good as it did the day we opened it. (When it’s clean anyway!) I anticipate being able to use it for several years for my first child and most likely for any additional children as well.
Well, there it is. I would definitely recommend this Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seat to anyone looking for a great, affordable high chair or booster seat for their baby or toddler.
What about you?
What are some of your favorite products for your kids?

okay but what about airport!levi? he gives quiet businessman vibes sitting in his slacks and turtleneck
IN HIS TURTLENECK 😭😭 He would also be quiet and to himself, but not in the emo way. You got me thinking about all of them now, so here are my other thoughts about the boys at the airport.
Levi
He thinks the idea of separating classes on an airplane is beyond stupid, but if the flight is particularly long, or particularly packed, he’s not above paying for business class for a little extra personal space for the two of you.
When he doesn’t do that, tho, he never picks your guys’ seats ahead of time, so sometimes you’ll be separated. Good thing he’s also not above lying at the check-in desk, “I’m in Zone 1, could my wife be seated next to me so that we can board together?”
They respond with an “of course,” and move your seats together, and Levi walks back with a content nod of appreciation. You are not married, and marriage sucks about as much as class separation on a 30 foot long plane, but it has its benefits.
Masks on, regardless. No debates. Pandemic or not, the mask stays on. Do not perceive him, keep the pressurized air sharing to a minimum.
Doesn’t wander much in the airport. There’s nothing in there that he hasn’t seen already, except for the marked up prices on touristy t-shirts.
And if you wander, he’ll usually just sit in the waiting area to watch your bags while you window shop and do your thing. If you’re gone for more than 30 mins, he might call, under the pretenses of, “Making sure you didn’t get lost. You know that Starbucks was near gate 41 to the left, not the right, right?” Like he’s a comedian or something 🙄
He does encourage you to get snacks before you board, tho. Airplane food is gross, and he would much rather pay for a $13 sandwich that you can snack on later, than for you to have to eat mush.
He’s got a little portable mug he takes with him for when he’s wants to buy a hot drink before getting on his flight. It’s cute.
Doesn’t fall asleep on the plane ever. No matter how long the flight is—at most, he’ll take a quick power nap somewhere in the middle if it’s over 9 hours, but other than that, he’s good to go.
Doesn’t mind if you fall asleep, and he always adjusts your neck pillow to make sure you don’t get cramps.
Jean
Travel champion. This man loves being in the airport even though he’s convinced it’s a time capsule, he fucking loves it.
King of “your airport fashion matters, babe.” Not necessarily wearing a whole three piece suit, but he does put in a little effort; it’s not just the first pair of sweats he has laying around.
Swears coffee tastes better in the airport. It does not. That does not stop him from buying it. He should learn to quit tho, especially for someone who hates airplane bathrooms as much as he does.
Charming with all the security personnel and desk assistants. You could be checking in for a flight at 4am, and Jean’s got people smiling and cheery for their shifts.
Bitches about the selection of movies on the flight, and learns to just download his own ahead of time. Gets really startled when he’s watching something and the flight attendants try to grab his attention for food or drinks—the very loud, classic, Jean Kirstein “HUH?”
On that note, he also gets startled by the loudspeaker announcements in the airport. He doesn’t know why he has to hear about American Airlines flight 2170 to Cancun, when he is not on American Airlines flight 2170 to Cancun.
Not opposed to paying extra for better airplane food or drinks on the plane if it’s the right time of day. He always finds something to toast to, plus he likes to treat you whenever and wherever he can.
Takes care of your overhead luggage and helps out the people around him if he sees they’re struggling. Gets shy when you call him a gentleman for it, and he rubs his neck, grumbling, “I was just helping the line move a little faster.”
Great timing, generous, will pick up your checked bags for you, and already rented a car a week in advance: 10/10 travel buddy.
Porco
He doesn’t like planes and there’s no solid reason why—nothing bad happened to him as a kid, and it’s not even that rare unfortunate incidents freak him out or anything—something flying just makes him a bit uneasy.
He won’t say it though, and he tries to keep it together when you’re checking in, but you can tell he’s anxious once you’re sitting and waiting for your flight to board.
He’ll ask to switch seats if you have the window seat, because somehow the feeling of being boxed in between the plane wall/window and another person makes it feel more like a car than a plane and he’s okay with that.
Going to the airport is one of the few times he hair won’t be styled, and falls in his face a bit. He usually throws on a beanie to cover it up, but you think he looks pretty cute either way.
Can’t usually fall asleep and he hates it because he just sits there thinking about the worst for the entire duration of the flight. But when you travel with him for the first time and coax him into taking a nap it’s so much better.
It’s about the only time he’ll let himself be publicly babied by you; but it makes everything so much easier that he doesn’t even mind.
So now, whenever you get on flights, he just puts his hood up, lays his head on your shoulder and waits for the magic to happen.
Bonus: you’re traveling with his friends, and Pieck and Marcel past to your seats, surprised to see Porco fast asleep on your shoulder. Pieck squeals, going on about how you must be a wizard to have gotten him to nap, to which Marcel just shakes his head, “Nah, he’s just really in love with her. Look at his face, that’s the calmest he’s been since he was five.”
Connie
Loves the airport. Not an ounce of organization in his soul though. By that I mean, yeah, he’s probably forgotten his passport at home, or forgotten that a full size bottle of body wash cannot go into his carry-on luggage.
Forgets to wear shoes that easy to take off and is fumbling over himself after the security check trying to lace them back up or put them back on.
Likes for you guys to have coordinating sweatsuits, and even though you don’t travel super often, Connie’s got at least 3 pairs of them lined up for you guys.
Sweet enough to drop plans or rearrange his schedule to travel with you if you were originally gonna be alone. He knows you can handle yourself, but he doesn’t want for you to travel alone if you don’t have to, especially if you’re going someplace far and/or for an extended period of time.
He always finds breakfast food to eat before he gets on his flight (if you two even have time to spare for food that is). It could be 9pm, but Connie’s asking for a breakfast wrap.
Hates waiting in the little pre-flight area. Claims it’s boring as hell and that’s why there’s no reason to get there 3 hours early 🙄🙄
He always spends at least 30 minutes browsing all the movie and TV show options available on-board, loudly exclaiming in excitement when they have something cool to watch—only to fucking fall asleep 10 minutes later. Right on top of you when he was oh-so-excited to watch Madagascar 2.
Always steals the aisle seat, even if it’s yours. It’s probably for the best though, because he has to get up to pee at least twice, no matter how short your flight is.
Makes some cheeky remark about you meeting him in the bathroom. He doesn’t mean it... unless he does. Unfortunately, you’ve never... successfully been able to do that out of fear of being caught by the flight attendants, but there have been a few quickies in the “family” (“It’s ethical, because technically we’re participating in the act of making a family, babe”) bathroom before you boarded. It’s his fault, not yours.
Armin
He really likes planes, and traveling in general. I think trains would be his favorite mode of transportation, but airplanes are good too.
I hate to say it but he claps when the plane lands. I will not elaborate or defend my stance on this.
Prefers the window seat because he likes to look out at the clouds as he’s in the sky.
He took his passport photo a little before he cut his hair, so the security personnel always hold it up and flicker between his ID photo and his current appearance a few times before stamping it. It makes him a little embarrassed because he can’t tell if they think he looks better or worse and sometimes he’s really fighting for his life convincing them that that’s him in the picture 😭
Listens to music rather than downloading a movie or watching a show, and always brings wire headphones to the airport so that it’s easier to share and listen with you.
If you fall asleep on him first, he’ll likely fall asleep on you shortly after. If he’s tired enough, he’ll fall asleep first, though he’s somewhat embarrassed and disappointed because he wanted to see the descent and skyline outside.
When he’s not asleep or window-watching, he’s somewhat fidgety out of excitement, rather than nervousness. He’s excited to be traveling and looks forward to wherever you’re going, even if it is just a weekend long work trip.
Hates traveling alone, though. It just feels particularly lonely to him to be going someplace foreign without company by his side. So, he’ll call you at every checkpoint and send you updates.
He only ever buys two things in duty free: shot glasses with the name of the city/country you’re traveling to, and whatever variety of button down short-sleeves are available to him.
Erwin
You knew this was coming, but this man is absolutely at the airport 18 hours before your flight takes off, and he’s driving like a manic getting there, like you don’t have all the time in the world.
Fascinated by anything and everything in duty free. Definitely spends more money than necessary on your return flight on the grounds that he was getting a good deal.
Exchanges money in the airport and keeps cash in his fanny pack. There’s no traveling without the fanny pack.
Plays crossword puzzles on his phone on the plane, and it’s just about one of the only games he has. That and Candy Crush—I get the feeling he’d be on level 500+ of that game and he always knocks out at least 10 levels on a flight.
Always a little surprised when he feels his your head on his shoulder, but he says nothing, and acts like he didn’t even notice, but there’s a telling little smile on his face.
Takes the most foul selfies of him and your sleeping self. In his defense, he had the best intentions; but that angle was flattering nobody. It’s too bad he’d already paid for the in-flight wifi and sent it to Hange because now you’ll never live them down.
You could probably get him to put on a (skincare) face mask during your flight. He forgets to take it off tho, and if you don’t tell him, he’d fully walk through customs with it on his face.
Accidentally gets drunk because he doesn’t understand that just because he can handle several glasses of whiskey in his favorite bar on a Friday night, does not mean it will translate on a plane.

Let's talk about Supernatural 15x07, "Last Call."
Or as I like to call it, "the episode that makes me go feral because it tells us so much about Dean's sexuality, character, and arc." 
YES others have written meta! YES I will talk about it myself for the satisfaction! I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
This post was originally a thread on Twitter and I am crossposting it to my blog.
Alt image IDs are included in that linked Twitter thread!
Join me on this journey.
Tumblr media
What's the context of this episode? Dean's been kind of down/depressed, feeling hopeless in the face of the idea that they have to defeat God (and not really working towards that goal much), and he's mid-divorce with Cas. He goes out on this solo case to try to clear his head.
And he ends up at Swayze's Bar. 
 Look, there are many things to be said about this. Dean loves Patrick Swayze. Arguably has a CRUSH on Swayze. It's very tied up in Dean pretending not to like "chick flicks" but he secretly does, which is queer coding. This was a Choice™️.
Tumblr media
Speaking of Choices™️: professional actors made many here. Deliberately. 
 Dean is smacked on the ass by a woman and then Lee smacks him on the ass too. Dean and Lee CONSTANTLY have physical familiarity and fond eye contact. I will limit myself to 1 paragraph about this lest I list it all.
Tumblr media
My point is that I just really need every person to digest and accept the fact that this is textually bi Dean. Not subtext; it's TEXT. 
Dean and Lee had a relationship. Their history is alluded to in touch and in words. They had an orgy together. Dean's bisexuality is not repressed.
Tumblr media
It's also now canon that Dean tries to hide that he can sing well. Most people don't know (like Sam) but some do (Lee). Hence "Eye of the Tiger" callback.
And so: that's also the implication for his sexuality. Dean singing ON STAGE with bi lighting is him being ready to be Out.
Tumblr media
They dedicated an entire half an ep at minimum to emphasizing he's bi... and to Dean having a conversation with someone he (initially) trusts about potentially having a break from hunting, and what that could mean.
LEE: You're chasing missing persons, huh? I thought you'd be on to something bigger by now, like the Loch Ness Monster... Bigfoot.
DEAN: Trust me, uh, bigger doesn't always equal better. Besides, who's gonna look out after the little guy? God certainly isn't.
LEE: Damn, brother, that's dark.
DEAN: Yeah, it's been a rough, uh... it's been a rough decade, Lee.
LEE: Yeah.
DEAN: But that's a conversation for a different time, 'cause this, this right here, this is all right.
LEE: Well, I'm glad you approve. This is nothing you can't have, man.
DEAN: Oh, come on. Who's gonna kill the bad guys?
LEE: Somebody else. Dean, how many lives you think you saved, huh? Hundreds? Thousands? You deserve a break, bro. Hell, you might even deserve two.
"But Lee turns out to be a villain!" some might say. "Isn't the point that giving up hunting is bad?" 
Nope. 
Lee's a DARK MIRROR for Dean. He exists to exhibit the truths behind Dean's desires, and then what they'd look like if they turned bad. Take it from him: "I am you."
Tumblr media
There are LAYERS here. You can't focus on the dark side and ignore the truths that take place in the (often bi) light. 
The singing? The conversations about taking a break? Throwing men out of the bar, which is framed heroically? "Road House rules" (another Choice™️)?
Tumblr media
NONE of that was bad. It shows what Dean wants. 
Things only get bad–literally and visually–when Dean's tied up as Lee suddenly says wrong things in the dark. 
The contrast exists to show that maintaining Goodness is a choice, and Dean would have no problem upholding that.
LEE: It's called a marid. It's a freaky-looking little thing, isn't it? [Lee laughs, and Dean stares at him, incredulous] Ah. As long as you feed it, it gives you money, it gives you health, everything you dreamed of.
DEAN: And so, what, it just costs innocent lives?
LEE: Dean, you and I both know no one's innocent. After everything we've done, aren't... aren't we owed a little happiness, huh? Don't we deserve that much?
DEAN: Listen to yourself. "We're owed." "We deserve." Come on, man. You're not God. Hell, God's not even God.
LEE: Good or bad... the world doesn't care. No one cares, Dean.
DEAN: Well, I do.
LEE: Yeah. And that's what got you here. Now, takes a while to drain a man, but listen to me. Don't worry about it, all right? Don't worry because once you lose a couple of pints, you just fall asleep, and then it'll be over.
[Lee pats Dean on the shoulder]
DEAN: Lee.
LEE: This... this is not how I wanted this to go, Dean. When that blonde girl walked in here last night, I should've know, you know, Dean Winchester, the righter of wrongs, you were gonna keep digging, and you were gonna figure me out. And if it's got to be you or me, well, I got to pick me, man.
"No one cares, Dean."
"Well, I do."
It's a reminder to himself as much as it is to Lee. It's a re-centering of purpose that he sorely needs.
And what's also key? Lee is human, but is now a "monster" in Dean's words. Because Lee lost his ability to care, Dean can't abide by that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Side note: bonus for the fact that Lee dies up against a wall by being impaled and he coughs up blood. You know who doesn’t cough up blood in their very weird and unrealistic death scene? Dean in the finale.)
Remember: Lee is a dark mirror for Dean. "I am you." 
By fighting and (tragically) killing Lee, Dean "kills" the darker side of himself. The side that's struggling to keep going right now... AND the side that fears eventually wanting a break means you must be selfish and stop caring.
Tumblr media
He can keep going. He can find strength to fight God–and in the end, take a break and CHOOSE peace. It won't make him dark. He's the most caring man on Earth, even when it's hard. That’s reinforced later. 
Isn't he owed a little happiness? And that's not in the having. It's in just being.
Tumblr media
The bonus is what's going on with Cas in this episode. 
Dean's clearing his head and finding his center again while Cas is calling him. 
Come home. I need you. Remember what matters.
And again, contrast: Lee turns out not to be "real/true" in the way Dean thought he was. But Cas IS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And after Dean goes through all of this... he's grounded again, he recognizes that even amongst questions of what God controls there are still choices to be made, he's reminded that letting his caring heart lead him is priority, he's lost another friend... 
He comes home to Cas.
Tumblr media
It's awkward. They're still distanced. 
But this episode is a turning point for Dean. He's not angry at Cas anymore, he wants to talk, he's ready to move forward... he just doesn't know how to yet.
And if you follow the through-line... then you get Rowena saying "fix it"... and then after that is the Purgatory prayer.
Tumblr media
I just !!! 
S15 is packed with Dean development to hone in towards the end of his arc, but "Last Call" manages to hit SO many buttons. 
• He's always been bi, & is ready to be Out
• He can want a break–& maybe run a bar like the Roadhouse
• Caring is at the core of who he is
It's about the CHOICE. It's about wanting to live your truths, and that "caring" can mean many things–from defeating God and saving the world, to making the hard choices when it counts, to maybe running a bar where people are safe.
14x10 and its matching Texan Star also say hello:
DEAN: How come you always have a boyfriend?
PAMELA: How come you only want what you can't have?
DEAN: Whoa.
PAMELA: Besides, you don't want me. You just like to flirt. I'm a psychic, so I kinda know.
DEAN: All right.
PAMELA: So, still not ready to sell the bar, huh? It's a lot of money.
DEAN: Sell? This bar? This is my dream.
PAMELA; Yeah.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And I recognize that rereading this info is sad(der) now because of what we got in the end, so uh... sorry. 
But that's half the point: it's repeatedly blatantly clear what we were meant to get, down to deliberate echoes in word choice–caring, happiness, deserve, even Roadhouse.
Dean was meant to choose to take a break, maybe run a bar–whether on Earth or in Heaven. At minimum, if Dean was meant to end up in Heaven, he was meant to choose it with eyes wide open. And the next time the phone rang with Cas' name (15x19), he RAN for him. He was VERY ready.
And the whole season tells you that. This episode is just my favorite.
So... thanks for letting me ramble on about it!!! 
Tumblr media
DEAN WINCHESTER: BI ICON, ONCE-LOVER OF LEE WEBB, THE MOST CARING MAN ON EARTH WHO DESERVED TO CHOOSE PEACE AFTER GAINING HIS FREEDOM, & SOULMATE TO AN ANGEL
And a very big thank you to the talented kings Jensen Ackles & Christian Kane, and their longstanding friendship. They gave me many rights with their acting choices. 
Here's an iconic bonus for the road.

okay serious entity assignments time now because i said i might yesterday and i am better rested now.
first off, ill say that like... i dont know everything about every empire, i might be a little off base with some of the members i know less about.
second, the thing about aligning characters with entities is that it doesnt tend to be as easy as just something they fear. they also have to thrive in it. if all it took was fear, there would be lots of people marked directly by the web, if all it took was the ability to thrive, most introverts would be marked by the lonely. it takes a careful balance of both (unless the characters hand is forced, which we do technically see in t.ma canon at least once) for someone to be effectively marked by a fear, much less be an avatar (which is... a loose term at best but i digress because the explanatory bit is getting long dfjkhdf)
stuffs under the cut because it got. long. and feel free to share your own thoughts about them!!
shelby: an interesting case where my gut said corruption but upon reflection i think aligning her with the eye makes more sense? she definitely is shaped by corruption, but her arc thus far has mostly revolved around her desire to learn and her fear of what that knowledge might reveal. after her encounters with xornoth, she also seems very nervous about the idea of being watched.
lizzie: the vast is obvious for her, but it does make sense. its the fear of heights and deep waters and human insignificance, infinity. lizzie absolutely thrives in the depths and holds no fear for the waters but she does show hesitance when it comes to leaving. the danger comes from the outside, the other. which seems more like the lonely, sure, but the vast and lonely link greatly.
joel: im a little biased with the desolation alignment for joel because of 3l. i still think it could work for empires, but... the stranger might work better. i dont think theres anything quite as 'stranger' as filling your home with statues of yourself, giving workers your face, but everything is just slightly... wrong. be it that they dont fit quite right or that their limbs are leather and wood. Unfamiliarity, the uncanny.
gem: so id originally said eye for gem but @loganprobably (i hope the tags cool sjgkhdfh) mentioned the lonely and... both work i think. gem has an appreciation for knowledge, for awareness and learning. but shes also in a position where she both isolates herself and gets overly involved. being one of the people to try to ally with everyone but having a clear side picked. the welcome and the shunning. whats a girl gotta do for some peace and quiet?
scott: scott is... hard. itd be so easy to just throw lonely or eye at him because he stays to himself and knows a lot. id wager the web might work better, though. he keeps his distance, keeps an eye on all that goes on, and... makes no moves. he waits, plans ahead. if war brews he needs to be able to side with the winners. he shows a distain for the idea of being controlled and avoids situations where he could be. hes careful with his choices when theyre made.
jimmy: jimmy. lonely, but for a different reason than gem would be. he is friendly and kind and cares deeply for others, yet hes so clearly... the outcast, even within his own circles. hes the picked on, the betrayed. a friend to all but loved, respected, by none. in his times of need he is forgotten, silenced. yet he doesnt seem to hate the loneliness, just the fact that no one came.
joey: oh god here we go. joeys hard to pin down. the hunt might work? he could fall into the lonely but being lost doesnt inherently mean lonely (it actually ties more in with the vast). i say the hunt, though, because he refuses to back down from his stances, even if theyre objectively wrong, and will do so by whatever means necessary. hell instigate the death of others for the sake of getting what he wants.
fwhip: the slaughter. sacrifice and destruction follow him in everything and he thrives in it. his violence isnt entirely mindless but he has a penchant for war and the things that go into it. heres where my stuff starts getting less cohesive as i watch these members much less ;^^
sausage: the corruption and the desolation lay equal claim on sausage. in everything he plays tricks and feigns niceties and makes himself out to be the one in the right. all the way he makes it seem as if hes kind and just in his actions even if his motives are chaos and destruction. he still holds a fear for things going wrong and holds tight to his alliances.
pixl: the end. his vigil is very very 'end' to me. death, to him, is inevitable, a fact of life, and he choses to honor it and give it respect. in all things he does he knows death to be a cause and an end to the means. even if his trickery may just be a signal of the spiral... whos to say?
katherine: okay. bear with me for this one, yeah? the flesh. no im not only saying this because of the bone garden. the fear that we are just meat and bones, the realization that animals go to the slaughter. i believe its a fact that many involved with the flesh become vegetarian after encounters and her whole thing is plants. she shows a distaste for killing animals but a desire to use them in projects.
pearl: the dark. yes, this is the obvious choice, but i do have reason beyond it. pearls character in empires is directly contrary to her name. she revels in the light and lives around sunflowers and growth. despite this she will let herself work into the night, she will let herself turn a blind eye to damage being done. what she cant see cant hurt her.
bonus:
xornoth: the extinction. i know there are no actual avatars of the extinction in the source, however: it makes sense, right? more than this creature is corruption or the end it wants mortals gone. it wants mortals gone and to be released and freed to do this deed.

With his forehead resting on the studio table, Jisung groans.
“It’s been three days,” he says. “No one’s gonna call.”
Chan glances up at Jisung from his psychology notes. “You don’t have to be here, you know.”
“But Changbin’s here!” Jisung whines, raising his head and throwing out his arm to gesture at Changbin, who stands at the end of the table. 
Fiddling with his recording equipment, Changbin scoffs. “That’s ‘cus I actually have something to do. You’re just here to slack off.”
“Am not.” Jisung pouts, but he doesn’t argue any further. His essay due date is creeping closer, and he can’t deny he’d rather be working on anything but that.
Chan puts his pencil down. “Are you sure you want to be here for the actual interviews, Jisung? I thought you hated listening to — and I quote — ‘sob stories’.”
“You guys are like my only friends,” Jisung says. “If I’m not here with you then the only other option is being alone with my thoughts, and that’s never a good idea.”
Nodding, Chan rolls his chair over to Jisung’s side of the table. He puts one hand on Jisung’s back and pats it soothingly. “Glad to have you here, buddy. I know you don’t like talking about breakups.”
“Ugh, don’t get me started.” Jisung groans again, folding his arms on the table and hiding his face within them.
Chan’s hand stills.
“Speaking of… we still need our first volunteer”
Jisung peeks up at Chan. “No.”
“C’mon,” Chan goads, “you fit all the requirements!”
Straightening in his seat, Jisung glares Chan down. “No! You just said you know I don’t like talking about that stuff.”
Chan nods again, acknowledging his hypocrisy.
Changbin shrugs. “It might be good for you.”
“No. No way in hell.”

Hi there! So you did the Twst boys reacting to their s/o getting rejected+slapped by Elise, but what about them reacting to Elise accepting and getting a crush on s/o? Like Elise is torn between wanting Idia and their s/o type deal? All I see is some cute fluffy funny stuff for this event which is awesome but sometimes I just gotta have some jealous conflicted boys. Love your writing! (♡Id love it if you could do all of them but if not, Id really like Idia, Malleus, Leona, and Jade's reactions♡)
Aaaa pretty cool idea anon~ bonus : Vil Schoenheit
♦♥♠♣
Tumblr media
You what ? Malleus wasn't allowed to be there but neither were you ; how dare others ask you to do such a shameful thing ?? You are his and only his , that is enough to clarify that he surely doesn't like it when Lilia announces thar you of all people have won the ghost princess's heart .
Your charm and beauty are indubitably stunning ; from inner beauty to outer beauty so Malleus isn't really fascinated to see that you aren't rejected ; what is bothering him is.... something else . Sebek told him that Eliza isn't yet sure on her decision since the Shroud guy was the first to catch her eye , but Malleus doesn't care. He doesn't blame Eliza for choosing you , he too would've done the same...
He isn't going to argue even a single word with you on that , but he isn't about to congratulate either ; he prefers to pretend as this has never happened
When he comes for you around the midnight as the mysterious tsunotarou , you are more than excited to tell him everything that happened today and he gladly listens , but when you get to the point where you proposed , it is a bit too hard for him to hide his frowned expression , and surely doesn't respond when you ask him what's wrong
Your help as a friend who saved all school and a student's life is appreciable , but to become someone else's partner even for a fake marriage when Malleus's mind was wandering to you afraid if you're okay or not all day , that seems a bit too unfair to our dragon boy
Tumblr media
" Excuse me...?" Well of course he needs help but at what cost ? No no no , he wasn't planning on you being chosen . Just who the hell allowed you to propose !? Being tied up here doesn't mean that you are free to flirt with others ; even as a joke !
Idia keeps nagging to the walls ( His only friends for now...) , a bit angry jealous at you because you proposed to someone he doesn't like and more importantly ; you proposed to someone else than him
He cannot stop thinking about it now , what if it was him and not Eliza ? Would you propose to him for real ? He is aware of this idea being absolutely lame and silly but he can't really help it
Oh god , how lucky Eliza is to be the one you proposed to and not Idia . He finds the thought of Eliza still having a doubt between you and him nonsense ; why would she need Idia as long you're there ? Idia is still too unprepared for a marriage and he's well aware of it , but he keeps wondering if he would be ever worthy of being proposed to and asked to be one's partner by someone special ? Someone like...you ?
Even after being released , he acts a bit cool with you , telling that he's too tired to chat. He sneaks into his room and takes his anger on other gamers for the rest of the night : " Who says that I'm angry !? I'm not !"
Tumblr media
First of all , why you of all people was hired to try such a stupid thing ? You come from no royal family and aren't even a student of NRC , no need to mention that you have no magic either
Seeing you succeed is supposed to be good news for hum since he can soon return to his peaceful sleep , but something seems off about it , something is annoying him
He had teased you before wards telling that you'd even get slapped twice considering how lower you are comparing to the prince charming this ghost is dreaming about , so seeing you coming out with a yes while he got slapped himself was much of a pitty
well he doesn't care that much about getting rejected , but when you tell him that the bride was kinda cute and kind to accept you of all people , he almost loses it . Does this mean that this Eliza is nice and he is mean !?
He doesn't care to argue or show his jealousy , so just takes his leave ignoring you , leaving you behind with a fascinated gaze ; even a tired lion like him can harass like a child...
You wonder , are you wrong or is he really jealous of Eliza because you said she's cute ?
Tumblr media
So the young , little (y/n) is the one to make it out of all people , interesting . Not that Jade looked down to you , but rather because he even doubted you liking to try ; specially with him there watching you
Marine life is considerably different on that point and a male eel would certainly like to punish his mate for such an arrogant action . Well it's a very short and forcedly established relationship , but to do that with no sense of obligation toward your real partner...?
Doesn't matter how angry Jade is , you'll see nothing but the smile he always puts on . He is perfect at hiding his thoughts and emotions , which sometimes terrifies you .
You have no idea how furious he is right now , but to see that his actions don't hold even a very small sign of anger or jealousy...you knew him better than this to know that he's faking it
He'd surely cool down when this bride's existence is taken away from NRC , so he finds arguing on it pretty useless . Yet he still wants to tease you a little bit
His ways of torture are just as sugar-coated as his personality : He starts questioning you : Did you like Eliza? Is she lovely? Don't you feel guilty that you've lied her ? Are you seriously going to leave her all alone after making her trust you...?
Ah yes , he knows how to make you suffer
Tumblr media
How dare you , he had forbidded you from even thinking of getting involved . Well true , he probably was expecting you to be rejected within a second . You are great , but not complete . Even Vil himself wasn't complete at this bride's attitude
He didn't want you proposing because he would've probably lost it if someone insulted you like this , not a single soul should dare laying a finger on his darling ; specially when he's right there by your side
His getting rejected was enough for him to get pissed off and head out for a moment , but what does he return to ? You proposed and you succeeded
Vil doesn't know if he should congratulate or be mad , his brain seems to be slowing down . Now you're getting married ??
What were you thinking with yourself ? What if the rings Sam gave don't work !? You don't even have any magic to protect yourself from these arrogant ghosts sorrounding you ; then he'll lose you forever
Vil doesn't mind throwing you to a corner and shouting all his thoughts at you . When he's finally done arguing , he cools down just a little
He knows that you meant good , but why did you risk yourself for something this worthless ? All those proud potatoes showing off with their non-existing perfection backed up and you have to be the one sacrificing yourself ?
Well , perhaps all he can do is to make sure that everything goes perfectly ; from putting on your makeup to practicing movements and the wedding dance with you . If you're going to be a groom/bride , let's prove Eliza that Idia is no match for you

Gavin’s Chapter 26 Parallels- Analysis
This was in my drafts for the longest time, but now since new MLDD chapters are out (and with S2 coming), I thought I should finish this post.
I remember watching this chapter for the first time when it came out earlier this year, noticing parallels about Gavin’s time and behaviour displayed in the STF Observation Centre to other Gavin-related details.
Spoilers of Chapter 26 and future content below.
Tumblr media
Gavin’s Encounter Summary
MC, with the help of Shaw and Litton, disguises herself as a man to enter the observation centre to find Gavin and clues about her lost Evol. 
A device for Evol suppression is placed on every test subject in the centre, and she wonders the pain Gavin must be in. 
MC, who? The name’s Mortimer Smith, ID number 134. 
MC is placed with her roommate, another Evolver who lost control of their Evol around the TV tower incident.
He tells her, “as long as you don’t cause trouble and listen to the observers, you’ll get along okay.”
She tries to squeeze out some information about Gavin from him, but learns that it’ll be difficult since they don’t use names to address the Evolvers, but instead codes. 
MC is summoned to "Evol examination" and MC has hope that she might see Gavin. 
She walks down a long corridor with other Evolvers waiting to be examined. 
She fails to notice a shadow in front and collides with a hard, sturdy chest.
Her foot slips and grabs onto the mysterious person’s arm as he holds onto her too.
She’s too embarrassed to look at his face.
She notes that the only thing in her vision was her trembling fingertips on his arms. 
But without looking, she already knows the arms she’s in. 
Emotions build up and she hears his heartbeat. 
She grips his arms tighter as she begins to speak. 
As the observers approach, Gavin finally looks up, his expression turning cold, and they are SHOOK.
He stares at MC for a long time then turns his head to walk on. 
MC lets him walk past. 
Her roommate looks at her in disbelief, surprised that she survived an encounter with “No.7" in one piece, thinking that she was “a goner for sure”. 
She asks if they’re all afraid of him, to which he replies with a nod.
He says that No.7 is more terrifying than Observers themselves, but then retracts his statement. 
Tumblr media
Extra: So... has Gavin been having nightmares? :(
Tumblr media
Observation Test Centre
The most obvious correlation from other chapters and mentions would be Gavin being named No.7 as his code name, as this number is always associated with him.
This analysis could just end here.
But wait- there's more.
Tumblr media
High School
Said to be the “school tyrant” and seen as the outcast, Gavin chose to be misunderstood over conforming to rules- ones that he didn't agree with.
Gavin didn’t have friend groups like everyone else notably did (like MC and her group of friends as they walk down the hallways laughing as Gavin stares googly-eyed from a distance). He had stuck by himself and his own morals like a lone wolf (with his casual but not-so-casual buddy Minor).
MC's roommate: A lot of people that end up here all forms cliques to get along, but he’s always been a lone wolf. And he’s always dealt with anyone who crossed him. Just now you bumped right into him as if you were blind. I thought for sure you were going to get smacked...
Furthermore, Gavin was always the one to challenge authority, whether it would be school teachers or even his superiors later in life. MC stated that Gavin had once fought with a school teacher, but this was probably due to some misunderstanding or that they had existing prejudices against him. 
“No.7! Why are you still standing there!?” 
Observers continue to call out to him, but Gavin ignores them. 
Gavin doesn’t fear that people won’t understand him- he knows that people don’t and won’t, which is also a contributing factor to why he doesn't feel the need to explain himself or his actions to anyone.
But this also is why he also had a rough journey from rightfully staying true to himself. Without any real support system within and outside of school life, Gavin suffered. Luckily, there was Mr Keller who was willing to listen to him. He told Gavin, “since you can’t change what others think of you, you might as well just listen to your heart". This had a great impact on him.
Additionally, Gavin fears for an entirely different reason. In fact, Gavin understands this sort of fear more than MC realises. Gavin was even more willing to throw himself into this mission when MC was gone because he really had no choice but to continue without her by his side. In Perilous Date, MC and Gavin talk about this its the closing moments.
MC: Gavin, you could be in danger at any time... Do you think it's worth it?
Gavin: I never thought about it... What if I say it's my destiny? Would you believe me? Don't worry. I won't put myself in harm's way again. Seeing you cry is just not worth it.
MC: Aren't you scared?
Gavin: I was never scared before when it was just me. But now... I am.
(Meanwhile MC now in the chapter: *crying*)
MC had kept him moving forward- to become stronger with his goal of protecting her, influenced by his father into joining special training in CN Tilted Time R&S. His father used MC again for Gavin to undergo modification to make his Evol stronger in Chapter 15.
Here’s an extra line that caught my eye:
He stares at MC for a long time then turns his head to walk on. She lets him walk past. 
Parallels with their high school moments:
Gavin leans against a tree as he watches MC hurry down the corridor as she clutches a textbook.  -[Boundary R&S]
Tumblr media
Special Task Force
Gavin had returned to Loveland City as Special Agent B-7 to find MC at the very beginning.
Even now stripped of his STF title as Captain, he still embodies justice. With his current knowledge of the identities of Evol criminals, he’s even able to find and make good use of them as a distraction in the Observation Centre. 
Gavin’s unapproachability and cold exterior are also highlighted.
MC's roommate: Just now you bumped right into him as if you were blind. I thought for sure you were going to get smacked...
But for MC, he learns from her how to live a more tender life [Spring Festival Date]. For her, he’d live. He’d also help her do anything just so that she wouldn’t have to shoulder anything- even the bare minimum alone. But he hadn’t reflected this upon himself to change- notably seen in Chapter 12-6.
MC: He wasn't like that before when he was with the squad?
Eli shook his head. He opened his phone and brought up a picture, handing it to me.
Eli: He was always like this before.
Gavin's face in the photo was a little immature. Wearing his military uniform, even though he was saluting, there was still an unmistakable look of proud aloofness and unruliness.
Tumblr media
New Weapons
After leaving STF, Gavin’s newly appointed code name was NW717. He was able to gain new Evol power by undergoing remodelling experiments. Under NW orders, he snuck into the Observation Centre to find MC, believing that the Evolution Accelerator could lead to some clues.
And no matter what organisation Gavin's under, he’ll always find his way back to her.
This photograph has already turned slightly yellow and has a pretty-looking girl on it. After a while of thinking, I place the photograph next to Gavin’s pillow. Perhaps this way, he can have a good dream. -[CN NW Project R&S]
Emerging from NW, people still were terrified of Gavin, mostly because of his cold aura and powerful Evol, despite his good intentions and his attitudes towards justice. But to MC, he will always Gavin, despite seeming cold and unapproachable to others with this persona. He knows that she’s the one who knows the softer side of him, as the one who he feels is worthy of explaining himself to.
Gavin: You’re the only one I care about, other people’s opinions don’t concern me. -[Go See Him, NW Uniform]
Heart-wrenching reunion after 6+ months of being deprived of each other:
MC: Ga-
Observers: No.7! Why are you still standing there!?
They continue to call out to him, but Gavin ignores them.
He is stunned, his amber eyes freeze then flash with a knowing glimmer. He looks straight at her, his eyes gently caressing her.
Gavin super softly: Don’t cry.
Me: *cries*

Bonus: Gavin's Weibo has 7 beside his name! Additionally, his number in the motorcycle race on the latest date is 7, with his bike having written "B7" and "B7..." displayed.

jj visits you at school (headcanon)
Tumblr media
ok so i took a very innocent prompt and turned it into my old ass reliving my college days (this is an ode to college football + texas food)
(warnings: nsfw-ish, drinking, cursing)
after high school, you decided you needed to get the hell out of north carolina
didn’t even consider duke/chapel hill/state
applied to schools all over the country before deciding on university of texas
(jj was sad because you were leaving - and he wasn’t - but it was closer than cal, which was your next choice)
as soon as you settled in, you bought him a flight out for a home football game
basically a religious experience in texas
you swooped him late thursday night from austin-bergstrom, borrowing your big’s boyfriend’s chevy silverado
yes you had joined a sorority. yes you lowkey loved it.
you could barely see over the wheel, and were basically falling asleep because you had to book it to the airport right after your 2 hour bio lab
but you got so excited when you saw jj - he was all amped up from flying for the first time
he waved you down, holding his beat up duffle bag on the sidewalk outside of arrivals
laughed at you as you tried navigating the truck (it was HARD okay, your big’s boyfriend owned a ranch - it wasn’t meant for the streets of austin), swung open the door as you rolled to a stop, slid into the passenger seat, gave you a “howdy, ma’am” before leaning over the gear shift & tongue fucking you.
woke ya right up!
you welcomed him to texas the traditional way - honey butter chicken biscuit from whataburger
he inhaled it - “god, what the FUCK is this?”
y’all spooned in your twin xl bed - you elbowed him in the chest, twice.
took him to your gen ed history class the next morning - y’all hid in the back and sent each other dirty texts the whole time (nothing new there)
gave him the full tour of campus after & rewarded him with torchy’s after - peg leg margarita + trailer trash tacos.
he had never had queso before - blew his fuckin’ mind
“why is the food here so GOOD?”
took him to your sorority mixer that night - 70’s themed, so y’all blew it out of the water with some very authentic ABBA costumes that you coordinated with your best friend + her boyfriend
jj let you round brush dry his hair & wore the classic all white outfit to match yours
y’all fucked in the costumes later that night - you couldn’t stop laughing, and he wouldn’t stop humming “super trouper”
woke up at the ass crack of day for game day - 2pm kick off meant 10 am tailgate
jj let you dress him (you were worried about getting him into the tailgate - you weren’t really in the mood for him to have to answer the “who do you know here?” question a thousand times)
of course, you had the frat boy game day uniform all ready for him - black ut polo, wranglers & cowboy boots.
he drew the line at the cowboy hat, opting for a backwards baseball cap
he wasn’t excited about the boots, until you handed him a flask & told him that was the only way he was sneaking alc into the game
jj immediately filled it with jack, before slipping into the side of his boot - “alright alright alright”
shockingly, getting him into the frat tailgate was no problem (you wisely chose to bring him to your big’s boyfriend’s frat - while he wasn’t pledge master, he had a lot of pull, and didn’t bat an eye as you brought your semi-incognito boyfriend into the house)
and of course, he made friends with literally EVERYONE he met
shotgunning beers with your best friends and their boyfriends
betting people to ride the mechanical bull in the middle of the backyard (because what the fuck)
sharing his boot flask (“yeah, my girlfriend got it for me - yeah, she’s pretty great.”)
of course, you taught him how to “hook ‘em”
and suckered him into a picture 
literally y’all only got one good one, you on his back, throwing the horns, him grinning at you as he half-assed the horns
he was flipping off the camera in every other photo
when y’all got to the stadium, he lost his shit
easily the biggest place (with the most people) he had EVER been in
completely took it in stride - learning all the chants, (“we’re gonna beat the hell outta you!” was his favorite) cheering as pledges were forced to chug whatever crazy shit the older frat members smuggled into the stadium between the student section bleachers, going absolutely apeshit when texas would score
jj didn’t know football could be fun - football was synonymous with his dad betting big and losing hard, which meant he got the brunt of...that
after the game (horns win!), y’all headed back to your dorm for a shower & power nap before hitting sixth street later that night
you changed your outfit three times and your panties once, because SOMEONE thought it would be funny to finger you while you tried to do your hair 
you weren’t really complaining, tbh
y’all walked to a pregame, jj wearing his boots & sipping from his flask, arm slung around you
same group y’all tailgated with earlier, so jj was like an old friend at this point 
(he even got the invite to the fraternity mardi gras trip in the spring - he asked if you were going to be flashing for beads - you smacked him on the arm)
wrangled him into an intense game of rage cage (you won - he bragged about you for the rest of the night)
laughed as you and your friends sat in the uber to the bars, memorizing your fake id’s 
jj had the same one from high school - he had a whole life story for his id at this point
let you drag him to a country bar - he kept your drink full as you & your sorority sisters drunkenly line danced to “any man of mine” and “cottonhead road”
you even got him to two step 
he ended up half-carrying your wasted ass home - you passed the fuck out the second you were back in your dorm
being the good boyfriend he is, he helped you take your makeup off and change into your pj’s
you woke up in his cutoff coors shirt, and nothing else - for revenge, you woke him up with a blow job - obviously.
you both had mind numbing hangovers (he refused to admit it, but he was feelin’ a lil rough after a game day + night out on sixth), so you dragged him to brunch - hair of the dog, baby.
knocked a couple mimosas back & made plans to lay out by the pool - nothing like getting absolutely fried by the sun to revive your hungover ass
as you were falling asleep on the lounger by the school’s outdoor pool, you heard him mumble something 
“you know where austin community college is, baby?”
you nodded, not following the conversation whatsoever, playing around with his baseball cap (you forgot your sunglasses, he offered it up to protect your eyes from the sun)
“lookin’ at it” he shrugged, holding his phone up, home page for ACC on his browser
you sat up a lil bit. “you’d consider leaving the outer banks?” 
he didn’t respond right away - you poked him with your foot a couple times
“I don’t think I’d ever leave the outer banks for good - but for a few years? maybe.” “for me?” 
he poked you back “nah, i’m coming for torchy’s + whataburger. you’re just an added bonus”
you nailed him with the hat, square in the face. “shut up.”
he laughed - sat up, swung your legs onto his lap, “i’m coming for you. you shut up.”
