Jealous Nelson

Summary: The new kid talks to Charlie, Nick is nothing but a jealous ball... due Nick being totally unhinged in the name of possessiveness Pairing: Nick Nelson x Charlie Spring Trigger Warnings: Smut :? there is a lot of it implied but it’s still here Content Warnings: Blowies

Charlie was fishing through his locker, desperately trying to add some sort of organisation to it - there was only so many times he could cram his life in there before everything got scrunched up or ripped. The boy was also trying to fill the 5-10 minute wait he had until Nick would be done with Geography (even though they finished lessons at the same time, sadly due to Nicks kind approachable personality, he became subjected to his teachers mini geography rants after every lesson). He found himself a little too focused in his tidying to the point hearing his attention being called made him squeal.

“Oh- I'm so sorry.” The voice sounded from his left, Charlie stepped back and looked over, it was a face he didn’t recognise. He must’ve gave a confused look to the boy, “You are Charles Spring, right?”

“Charlie, yah.” He smiled. fiddling with the book in his hands.

The boy happily sighed, “Good! I’m new here, I got told you were someone I could go to if I needed maths tutoring?” While not a question, the boys inflections caused it to be one, Charlie nodded along. “You’re in year 11, right?”

“Yeah. Um, what year are you in?”

“Year 12, I'm new. I didn't pass my maths GCSE so I have to do it again,” the boy shrugged a laugh. “You don’t have to help me if you can’t, or don’t want too, year 11 is a busy year.”

“Oh no no. I’d love to! I'm free Thursdays after school, if you can do that?”

“Oh I'd love that!” He put his hand on Charlie’s arm, “Thank you so much!” They both smiled at each other, the younger one felt his checks redden. “Shall we meet in the library?” Charlie nodded, “I’ll see you around.”

The boy fell into the crowds outside the locker room while Charlie’s head fell into his locker. He huffed out a groan. You didn’t even get his name.

“Hey hottie!”

Charlie yelped, “Fuck- what is it with everyone making me jump today?!” He pulled himself from his locker, to find Nick to his right, wearing his famous slanted smile.

“Who’s your new friend?” The rugby lad teased, crossing his arms.

“OH! No- he’s new. I don’t know his name, but he’s in your year. He wanted to know if I could give him maths tutoring,” Nick hummed and slowly nodded his reply, causing Charlie cross his brows, “What-” His boyfriend offered a confused pout. “-I know that look.”

“What look?” He said still with a tangy face, this time offering a breathy laugh.

Charlie raised his brows at him, smirking “Nicholas Nelson, are you jealous?” He taunted, “How dare a new man interact with little ol’ me.” He was being over dramatic, he could see Nicks brain racking through responses. The duo stood in a half friendly face off for a few seconds: Nick with crossed arms and an unamused face while Charlie was cradling his Latin book in his arms prenteding to be all gushy over the new boy.

Much to Charlies surprise, Nick took a step towards him and in 0.5 of a second, had him pushed up against a locker, one hand above his head, another on his arm and a leg in-between his own, pinning him there until Nick decided enough was enough. This bold move stole the air from Charlies lungs. He couldn't help but smile, he may have lost but he knows in so many different ways, he’d won. Nick threw his lips onto Charlie’s, taking full control. He left love filled, lust peppered, ownership sprinkled kisses all over his partners lips. His hands moved from Charlies arm and rested on the base of Charlie’s throat, he could feel the small whimpers dissolve in his throat. They pulled apart and Nick’s eyes were cemented onto Charlies face. The younger boys eyes ran across Nicks face, his own cheeks were getting hotter by the second.

“You always do kiss better when you agitated.”

“Oh shut up Char...” He tightened his grip on his throat slightly and leaned back in to drop the same kisses upon his boyfriends mouth.

After a minute or two, Charlie tapped Nicks shoulder making him step away, panting at the ability to breath again. “Well Mr Jealous, as much as I'd love to stay here, I've got an English lesson to get to.”

Nick laughed breathily, he lowered his hands onto his boyfriends waist, “Orrr...” He trailed, moving his eyes from Charlie to the toilets down the hall, leaning his head that way too.

Charlie slapped his textbook into Nick’s stomach and began to walk away, only to be pulled back into Nick’s side as he had an arm thrown over his shoulder, “C’mon I'll be quick..”

He let out a chuckle, “I love you,” he put his head on Nicks shoulder, “But I don’t think I want to bring that rumour to life yet.”

-----------------------------------

“it’s an awful film! Who singings to someone and then just.. falls in love!?” The gang: Tao, Issac, Charlie and today they were joined by Nick, were chilling on their lunch bench, the three having to endure Toa’s anti romcom rant for the 100th time this accademic year.

“Taooooo” Charlie put his head in his hands,

“I just wanna believe in romance!” Issac gushed, “Not everything needs to be complicated and extreme and difficult!” Charlie mumbled still from his hands. This action cause Nick to blush.

“Then,” Tao picked up his apple juice, waving it about, “What’s the point?”

“To enjoy the film!” Charlie appeared from his hands, now having his cheeks held in his palms.

“Having something handed to you, is not enjoyable!”

“Having to do research for a film to even begin to understand it, is not enjoyable...” Issac rebuttled waving his book at Tao. The coupled laughed at their squabbling.

After a bit of comfortable silence, Tao said, “Hey Charlie, ain’t that the boy you tutor?” He motioned over to the infamous new kid hanging with Nick’s rugby boys.

“Oh he’s handsome!” Issac noted, “Does he play Rugby?” He asked generally but motioned more to Nick.

Nick mumbled low enough only Charlie could hear, “I fucking hope not.”

Unexpected to the boys, Nick turned to Charlie and planted one of the most rushed, possessive, lust filled kisses he’s ever received on his lips. When they pulled away, Charlie knew he was blushing, he knew too he was smiling like a fool. Just as he pulled away, Nick stood up and left the table. Leaving Charlie in a small haze.

Both boys looked over to the friend with confused expressions. “I don’t think he likes that your tutoring Liam..” Tao laughed.

Charlie groaned, dropping his head back into his hands, “I dont know what his issue is!”

“Charlie. Have you seen Liam!” Issac put his book down, “He’s handsome handsome!”

“Yeah, but like.. he’s not... Nick”

Tao laughed to himself, “Anyway, by the way you reacted to that kiss, I wouldn’t think there’s gonna be much of an issue for you both..”

---------------------

It was after school and it was rugby day. Oddly enough this became one of Charlie’s most loved days of the week. It’d not been long after he was allowed to go back on the team but he found it made his week that much more enjoyable when he could go. Obviously, after everything that’d happened, him rejoining the rugby team amped up Nick’s protective side, being captain he kept a very close eye on him throughout practice.

The boys made their way out to the pitch where Coach Singh was stood with a student, “We got a new player?” Otis questioned.

“Thought we had enough?” “Probably another reserve?” The boys nattered between themselves.

“Nelson! There you are!” Singh yelled to the boy, who waved his arm up to her. She continued her conversation with the student but as she moved, Nick noticed exactly who it was.

Charlie must have sensed his distain, he looked over to his boyfriend and let out the most gorgeous belly chuckle, pushing Nick in the arm.

“Why-” Nick groaned, only causing Charlie to laugh all the more.

When at the pitch, Nick was ushered over by their coach, “This is Nicholas, he’s our captain, and a damn good one at that. He has a stern side, but he’s an all round lovely boy nonetheless.” Nick did he best fake smile, she turns to the pile of boys, “Boys, this is Liam, he’ll be our new reserve. Understandably due to Charlie’s health, it’s beneficial for us to have a second... just incase you’re feeling under the weather, you won’t need to stress yourself if you don’t feel you can play.” She directed the end towards Charlie, who stood rather awkwardly. but smiling at the gesture. Nick couldn't thank his coach for this idea enough, but he held too much frustration over the choice of boy. “Liam used to go to a school in North Essex, he’s an incredible sportsman so I hope you all welcome him with open arms.” There was a choir of mumbled hello’s. “Pair up, you’ll be doing a few drills. Nelson, im putting you with Liam.”

Charlie couldn't hide the shit eating grin on his face, making Nick shake his head in his direction. He felt an arm sling round his shoulders, “I guess I'll adopt you for the moment then.” It was Christian. Charlie got on with him really well, Nick was automatically relaxed at that pairing. He was moderately aware of the younger boys conditions so Nick knew Charlie wouldn't get pushed too far.

as for Liam.... Nick made it his mission. Everyones doing something 3 times? Nick made Liam do it 5 times. Tackle Nick while he didn't move? Oops, look like Nick dodged him. Simple star jumps? No, burpees.

“You tryna kill me, man?” Liam huffed out after his 7th round of: weaving in and out posts, 5 burpees, passing the ball between cones, tackling sponge posts.

“Think of it more like an initiation.” He said rather stilly.

After some time, and lots of masochism from Nick, Coach Singh pulled them back in for team chat. Charlie naturally found himself next to Nick.

“You having fun?” Nick murmured,

“Yeah, miss you though.” He paused, “How’s your new friend doing?” Nick glared at him, causing a little laugh to slip, “Says it all.” Nick playfully pushed his shoulder in Charlie, causing him to topple a little.

“You boys listening?” Coach aimed at them,

“Better than ever!” Nick smiled, Charlie nodding.

“We’re going to work on speed, i want you boys to be quickest on that field! Your play can be fair but if that speed ain’t there, you’re bound to lose.” She paused, “Charlie over here, I want you boys to get closer to him. Some reason the kid is built like a spring bean but runs like a race car, so I doubt you’ll reach him but I want you to surprise me.” The compliment made Nick smile more than Charlie himself.

They lined themselves up, Nick stayed with coach while a handful of the boys took their positions. Charlie was in the first race. He took himself over to his lane, making sure he was ready, focusing on being confident his laces were done up... Again too focused to notice the person next to him. The sudden voice caused him the yelp slightly.

“Oh- again? You’re a rather jumpy lad.” Liam laughed. Charlie smiled, tucking his hands in his sleeves, “I didn't know you were on the rugby team. You don’t strike me as much of the rugby player.”

Charlie smiled at his comment reminiscing on the reason.. much rather person.. that caused him to actually play, “Neither did i.”

“always thought you were the library’s pretty boy.” His comment brought an uncontrolled blush to Charlies face, making him look down. “It’s a nice surprise of character to see you on a field.”

Nick could read him like a book, he knew how Charlie’s behaviours correlated to his feelings so the moment his hands went under his sleeves and his head dipped, he knew he was uncomfortable,, but he couldn’t see if it was a good or bad uncomfortable. All he knew was his stomach was in tight knots and his mouth was glued in a straight line.

The boys got in their starting positions, Nick just hoped to to the heavens that Charlie kept his winning streak. Coach Singh blew her whistle and the boys were off. Nick kept his eyes on them, following Charlie most, much to his expectations, he was fulfilling them. That was until they got to 75 meters. Charlie practically slowed to half his speed and came 3rd by the end.

The moment he got over the finishing line, he felt his lungs and heart were in his throat, Nick stood off to the side but close enough by trying to gage Charlie’s motions. The boy folded his arms above his head trying to get as much oxygen in as possible.

Liam made his way over to Charlie, putting a hand on his arms, “You're very fast for a little lad. You did g-”

A different side of Nick took over, one that he doesn’t use all too often. A little too harshly than expected, he yelled “Spring!” Everyone looked over, Charlie squinted a little knowing what was about to happen, he looked over the Nick with a fake confusion still puffing in air, “Here, now!”

“I'm fine!” He called back, still panting.

Nick just looked at him, arms folded. “Wasn't a question.” every word punctuated perfect. Classic Captain Nelson voice. Charlie felt himself melt.

“Coming Captain!” He replied in an overly friendly yell, only for Nick to recognise the suggestive tone that swam under it. Walking over to his boyfriend, he had a little sway to this step and a smirk on his face.

When he got to Nick, his panting subsided slightly. Nick greeted him with a bottle pointed at him. “Love you!” Charlie smiled, grabbing the drink.

“You didn’t win.”

“Wow. Is that all I mean to you now?” Charlie smirked

“Wha- No.” Nick crossed his brows at him, he put a hand on Charlie’s jaw, “You let him win.”

Charlie couldn't help the belly formed cackled that he had, “Nick! That’s ridiculous-” He put his hand on his arms, “You’re ridiculous.”

His face softened, “Sorry, I don’t know why I'm being like this. Are you okay though?”

He smiled “A little wobbly, but I haven’t exactly ran full sprint in like a year.”

“Thank you for trying anyway. You did really well, honestly.” He planted a soft kiss to Charlies forehead.

“Are you really that jealous of him?”

“Ugh” He groaned against Charlie’s head. Stepping back slightly, he let go of the young boy, wading his hands in his hair “Yes! No? I don't know! Every time he’s with you, I just get all itchy and like I have to just make him aware your mine-” Charlie laughed, “God- I don't know what wrong with me. I don't know if its because he’s like the only one here that doesn’t know you're mine-”

“I’m yours?” This made him blush.

“God yes. You’re mine, isn't that obvious!” Charlie blushed harder, “Mine, mine, mine, in every way. And I don't want him getting any ideas other wise.”

“You’re so cute! Nick, he’d never have a chance, there’s only so much rugby lad I can have in my life,” This made Nick chuckle and relax slightly, “Plus,” Charlie stepped closer to him, talking lower, “nothing and no one can beat,” His hands went to Nicks biceps, “Captain Nick Nelson and his rugby arms.” He spoke with the same tone as when he’d previously called him that.

He swooped down to Charlies ear, “Call me Captain in that tone again and I'll take you right here right now.” His voice went straight to his knees, making Charlie almost buckle, it didn't go unnoticed. “Oh you like that? Having everyone know who's you are? Having Liam know you're mine? Having him see-” his hands brought Charlies chin up so they were looking at each other, “-that you're mine.”

Charlie gasped slightly, his eyes were slightly more glassy, “Yes” He breathed out.

“God you’re captivating.” Nick whispered against his lips sealing them in a heartfelt kiss. If it weren't for Nicks hands under his jaw, Charlie was certain he would've been a puddle on the ground.

-----------------------

Charlie walked from form - which he spent alone today, unknown of Nicks where abouts - to meet Liam at the library for their weekly tutoring session. Charlie didn’t mind this part of his week as it gave him a nice sense of purpose and even though he’ll never admit it, he did enjoy the reaction he got out of Nick because of it: meeting him at his house after for an overly dominant, overly protective Nick Nelson kiss.

Charlie had his headphones thrown over one ear, bag hanging off the opposite shoulder, he was walking the halls at the pace of the muse song not paying too much mind of the world around him. “Charlie!” He heard fainting behind the drums, he lowered the volume and saw Liam waving at him as he walked closer. “Hey! Funny seeing you here,” He joked once having met up with his tutor.

Out of respect, Charlie dropped his headphones to his shoulders, “Hey” He greeted with his warm smile, “Two people who go to the same school, going to the same place, it’s almost impossible they’d bump into each other.”

“Oh he’s bringing joke today! I see!” Liam playfully shoved into him as they made their way to their destination.

“How was your day?”

“It was oaky, thank you. My lessons weren’t too much trouble, got to sit out in PE today and had a drum lesson, quite an easy day. You?”

“Yeah,” He held the door for Charlie and waiting until both were through to continue, “Easy day too, had a free period this morning, had pe after, simples.” There was a pause, “Nick was my partner again. Man does that boy put people through the ringer!”

His comment made Charlie laugh, knowing throughly that tough love was no way near Nicks natural way, “What do you mean?”

“The whole session, it felt like he wanted me dead. We’d do a full set.. bear in mind one of our sets were like 3 of everyone else's and he’d give me like 10 seconds rest.” He rattled off, almost like he was lost in a day dream. “Like how that can kid do so much and not die!?”

Charlie shrugged, “Can’t have the Nick Nelson build without putting in the work, I guess.”

“Where is he anyway? He’s usually glued to you like a lot puppy.” Charlie wondered the same thing

“I’m not too sure.” And as if on que, he came bowling round the corner with Otis, Sai and Christian formed round him. Charlie felt his heart fly to his mouth, he wasn’t too sure what Jealous Nelson was gonna pull today,

“It’s almost as if he heard us,” Liam laughed.

Nick had locked his eyes on Charlie, making a b line straight to him. Sadly, he’d clocked his arms were tensed to his sides and his hands were fanned out... Which only meant one thing. “Oh no,” Charlie murmured under his breath “Hey-” Low and behold Charlie was tossed up over Nicks shoulder before he could even get his words out, “-Oh my god! Put me down!”

“Oi! Give me my tutor back-”

With his back Liam and his friends, Nick kept walking forward, “He’ll be back in 5.”

“C’mon mate, we’ll help you until Charlies back.” Sai guided the 3 of them into the library.

“Nick? Can you put me down now?” Charlie asked still dangling over the lads shoulder.

“Nah.”

“Nick!”

Once they’d made it into the toilets, Charlie was set free and then pulled into a stool. He huffed out a breath, “Very romantic. A school bathroom.”

“We’ll I can’t remind you who’s you are with others watching, can I?” Charlie’s stomach flipped at Nick’s bluntness.

“You wanted to the other day.” He smirked up to his boyfriend.

“Oh I missed that cheek-” Nick lent in and place a love filled kiss to Charlie's lips. He very kindly reciprocated. The two stood- Charlie pushed up against the stall wall- making out like they had done countless times before. So far it was familiar. Charlie’s hands found their way to the back of nicks head while his fell onto to Charlie’s jaw: their usual places.

Charlie broke the kiss, “Why weren't you in form?”

“Couldn’t bare looking at you knowing you were about to spent an hour alone with Liam.” Nick’s eyes felt a little darker than usual. “Knowing I'd have to spend 10 minutes looking at you, knowing I wouldn't be able to send you off to him with a little reminder... I couldn't handle it.” Nick spoke lowly, he mouth centimetres from Charlie’s. “Did he meet you outside form?”

Charlie ran his fingers through Nicks hair, massaging his scalp, “Nah, I was walking to the library and he kinda bumped into me.”

“Hm, What were you talking about?” He eyes stayed pinned to Charlie’s.

“You.” He knew the response this’d get from Nick. “You and you’re...” Charlie’s hands fell to Nicks arms that were locked onto the wall around his frame, he ran his hands down his arms, nails gazing his skin, “... muscles, the way you go above and beyond, how rough you can be,” He took his time in complimenting Nick.

Nick was confident if Charlie kept speaking he’d knees would give out on him, he always had this odd ability to change his tone ever so slightly and cause Nick to melt. Nick threw himself back at this boyfriend, a lot more viciously now. The kisses were less delicate, less neat, less quiet. He bent his arm allowing himself to deepen his kisses, causing a pretty sound to fall in Charlie’s throat. Nick slid his knee in-between his legs. “God, you make such pretty noises for me.”

Charlie was looking at him with lust filled puppy eyes, his hands still hanging on his arm, “Only for you.” Nick was certain he’d met an angel.

“Yah?” Charlie nodded, “Why don’t we get you to make some more, huh? I think I need a little reminder of who's you are.” Charlie was yet again left nodding.

So they kissed, and kissed. and kissed. Charlie hands found their home in Nicks locks. Nicks hands moved to pulling off Charlie’s headphones, chucking off his blazer, loosening his tie and undoing the top button of his shirt. Nick rolled his kisses down to Charlie’s ear lope, taking it in his teeth. This alone caused him to see stars, a whimper bubbled in his throat. “God, them pretty noises.” He spoke barely above a whisper.

He moved down to Charlie neck. This was his favourite place to kiss the boy, ever since Paris, he’d never been able to leave it alone. One kiss and he was already a mess. “Nick-” Charlie tugged on his hair, soon enough the younger boys hands were pinned about his head by one of Nicks hands. The kisses began to be mixed with sucks, licks and open mouth kisses. Charlie had his head leant over so Nick could get as much room as he needed.

“You’re so hot. Every noise you make, so hot.” Nick gushed into his skin, licking a panel of his neck. “All of this, just for me. just because of me.”

“just because of you.” Charlie repeated breathier than ever, rolling his hips into Nick. The elder boy scooted forward so his thigh became a place Charlie could relieve himself on.

Nick pulled back, looking at the state of his partner. The well put together truham golden boy was now pinned in a bathroom stall wall looking fucked out even though he'd only been kissed. Nick smiled at his work, Charlie already entering his headspace, eyes half lidded.

He let out a breathy laugh, knowing Nick was staring at him, “What?”

Nick shock his head, “Nobody would ever believe me-” He pushed his thigh into his groin earning a breautiful shudder from the younger boy. “No one would believe that lovely little Charlie is such a slut of kisses.” This alone made him moan, “And dirty talk, wow.” If he weren’t blushing before, he was now.

“Nick” He sighed, opening his eyes, “I-um please.”

He used his free hand to stroke Charlie’s jaw, “What, baby?”

“Need you.” He paused, “Want you.”

“Do you?” Charlie nodded, Nick took his leg out from in-between his thighs. “You want me to..” He thought for a moment, hand running along the front of his trousers, “... suck you off?” He felt him tense, “Yeah? Make you all fucked out and leave you to go tutor Liam with nothing but me on your mind?” He began undoing Charlie’s trousers, “Make you want to have my cock, make you beg for it but send out to see your friend? Hell I might even send you out there still hard, make tutoring him the most difficult thing.” Charlie let out a cute small moan to this, “Oh” Nick smirked, kissing his neck, “That’s what I'll do, being as you like the idea so much.”

Nick tugged Charlie’s trousers down, pulling away to look at his boy, he stroked he cheek, “Hey, look at me.” Soft calm Nick was back. Charlie flicked his eye open, “you okay with me doing this?”

“Yeah” He smiled, speakly breathlessly,

“You not just agreeing for the sake of it?”

“No- god no” He ran his hands over Nicks, “Please, I want you so bad. Can’t stop thinking about you.”

“Yeah?”

“Fuck me Nick.”

“When we get home, but I wanna have some fun first.” He popped a kiss on Charlie’s head and fell down to his knees, “God you are so beautiful.” He palmed Charlie through his boxers, causing his favourite noise to come from him: a throaty groan. Charlie rolled his head up and covered his face with his hands. “Hey, I wanna see you.” Nick spoke softly.

He places a handful of kisses around the area, soon to pull his boxers down and letting Charlie free. “you’re so hard.” Charlie nodded frantically, “Who made you hard, Charlie?”

“You!” He said a little too eager, making Nick laugh, “You did.”

“That’s right.” He rolled his fist over Charlie’s cock, a couple pumps before continuing, “You’re doing so well for me. So beautiful. Love your cock so much.” Charlie was a head breath, closed eyed, head rolling mess. “You want me to suck you off?”

“Please please please please please” Charlie panted.

Nick licked his tip, causing a gasp to leave the Youngers mouth, “God, you’re such a whore.” Nick began putting more and more of the boy in his mouth, rolling his tongue around his cock, rotating his head as he pulled up from his base, eventually bottoming out so his nose touched Charlie’s pelvic bone.

“Ohmygod-” He whimpered, “-Nick, wow. I love your mouth.”

“Char, you make such pretty noises for me. I wonder if Liam can hear you. Oh he has no clue what im doing to you right now, no clue how good I'm making you feel, no clue how fallen apart you are.” He went back to sucking Charlie, putting his all into bringing his boy so close to the edge but not enough he would go past it. “Your being so good for me.”

“Nick nick nick nick” Charlie spoke to himself, head still rolled back, hands now in Nicks hair, trying to pull his further onto his dick.

“Now now, be good and keep your hands to yourself, Charlie.” He pulled his hands from his hair and pinned them to his sides.

The bathroom will filled with dirty sounds: Charlies whimpers, both their heavy breaths, the sound of saliva squelching.

Charlie’s throat dropped an all too familiar hiccup: a sort of cross between a sigh and a whimper. Nick knew this sound, it meant he was going to come. He remembered the first time he heard it: the two were messing about in Nicks room, it was 3am, they were making out and things went a little further. Charlie was in his lap humping him, a collection of soft small noises were made from Charlie until he made this breath taking sound that lead to him shaking in Nicks arms.

Nick pulled off his boyfriend, leaning back against the other stall wall, panting. He looked up and his partner was well and truly fucked out with a pout on his face. “You stopped?”

“I told you,” Nick stood up bringing Charlie’s pants and trousers up with him. “ I want you to go see Liam all fucked out and hard.” He tucked Charlie back into his bottoms causing a gasp from the boy and for him to steady himself on Nick’s shoulders. “I want you to walk out there with my name all over you, so he knows where he stands.”

Charlie’s head feel into the crook of Nick’s neck, “Sometimes I think you’re a psycho. You’re lucky you’re so hot.”

He laughed, zipping up his trousers, rebutting his shirt and reorganising his tie. “God” Nick gasped. “I'm trying so hard not to fuck you right now. You look so out of it.”

Everything Charlie said had an air of fuzziness to it, and a wave that made him sound sort of drunk. He was sure his brain wasn't even in his head, “I want you to. Please.”

“Go tutor Liam and if you're still good, I'll treat you when we’re home.” He gave him a chase kiss and went to leave the stall.

“Where you going?”

“Doesn't matter, you’ll know soon enough. neaten yourself up a little more before you go out there, yah?” Charlie nodded, still feeling like he was dreaming, he saw Nicks eye drop to his cock and float back up, he laughed to himself and left Charlie alone.

Fucking rugby lads.

Charlie desperately tried to pull himself from his lull. He straightened his blazer up, slung his headphones back round his neck and walked to the mirror, he certainly looked far more hazy. He splashed some water on his face and shook head trying to wake himself up, it worked slightly yet he was still convinced his vision wouldn’t return properly for a while. Huffing to himself, he checked his phone... only 15 minutes later. He recollected his thoughts, trying to push Nick as far back as he could and left the bathroom.

When he made it to the library, he saw Sai, Christian, Otis and Nick sitting with Liam. Oh no why. Liam was head down in his homework, the three boys lent over the table guiding him through the problems and Nick was leant back, arms folded looking directly at Charlie with a small smirk.

Charlie knew he was blushing. The boys movements felt lazy but almost as though they had an unstoppable spring to themselves. The boys looked up over to him having sensed someone close by.

“Oh my god.” Otis laughed, he nudged Nick playfully. “Tell me you didn't actually fuck the poor boy in the toilets again.” He sighed leaning back in his chair, quiet enough only Nick would hear. Charlie sat down with a very blushed face.

Nick’s smirk grew to a proud smile, he remained in his position. He didn't need to correct his friends; his aim was achieved.

“Hi Charlie, you okay?” Liam greeted.

“Yeah,” It was a breathy, daydreamy reply from the young boy. This made Nick laugh to himself.

“What did Nick want so desperately?”

“Um-” Charlie couldn't help but look over to his partner “He just-”

“I needed to show Charlie I found something of mine I'd lost.” Nick filled in, rather monotonedly, only one boy at that table knew exactly what that meant.

“Oh was it anything exciting?”

Nick flicked his eyes at the red marks that lined the neck of Charlie’s collar. “I think so,” He looked back at Liam, “Charlie seemed to be pleased I'd found it.” The boy in question, nodded along.

Charlie and Liam started talking about what area they were going to focus on this lesson, losing themselves in their little conversation. Otis, Sai and Christian joined in at times to tell Charlie what they’d done while he was out. The whole time Nick sat in silence gawking over his lover. After a short while, the three rugby boys shared a small look and one nudged Nick, stealing his attention and returning it with a collective eyebrow raise.

Nick simply shrugged over confidently. The boys laughed to themselves, punching the Caption in his arms. “Who knew Nick Nelson would be a dog!”

“Fuck off”

The trio laughed, “We’re gonna go, you still meeting us at Sai’s later?” Otis asked Nick,

He looked up at the boys, then Charlie, then back at them, “Maybe, gotta take care of some things first, but I'll try come.”

“Oi oiii” “Of course you’ll come!” The boys heckled, punching him in the arms again and cheering as they walked away leaving the library. Nick laughed under his breath, thankful he took them boys back into his life.

“They're a lovely bunch.” Liam noted.

“The better half of the rugby team.” Charlie added. Nick collected his stuff, standing up, gaining Charlie’s attention, “Where you running off to?”

“Don’t you worry your pretty head about me.” He walked a step to Charlie, turning his head up to him, “Behave,” Nick delivered sternly, Charlie blushed, “I’ll be back in 40 to come get ya.” He lent down to kiss him, once he stood back up he saw Liam turn his head away, so he went in for another kiss. As Nick walked off he yelled back, “I love you Charlie Spring!” Charlie laughed loudly as his partners gesture, “I didn’t catch that?”

“I love you too Nick Nelson.” Nicks response was an over dramatic reenactment of him catching the words and pushing them into his heart and him pretending to fall over. Charlie shock his head laughing at the boy.

Nick left the library in full confidence his goal was well and truly achieved.

❤ Insatiate by doshu E | 1.9k | Complete | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Voldemort stole both Harry and the Philosopher’s Stone, and doomed Harry to live a half-life. That was ten years ago.

❤ In the library [Art] by chiocchi G | Art | No Archive Warnings Apply

Tom Riddle was always the last one to go to sleep and the first to wake up. Sleeping was a waste of time that left him in a vulnerable state and he didn't trust anyone. Dating Harry wasn't going to change that. Or so he thought.

❤ Friends with Knives (and Benefits) by ChemFreak E | 5k | Complete | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Tom discovers that his fuckbuddy/friend with benefits/roommate Harry has a very compatible kink. What begins as a mutual arrangement quickly develops into something more.

❤ nothing left to lose by eleven_eaves E | 7.4k | WIP | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Earlier that day, they had gotten into such a disagreement, the same one as always. But Tom held all the cards, and he knew it. “Please...” Harry begs. “Please, put it... put it back in me. I need to feel it again.” Tom smiles down at him, vicious and coldly amused. “No.”

❤ monochrome by Ilyaa_zzz M | 5.4k | Complete | No Archive Warnings Apply

Tom deals with soulmates. “I found her,” you say, and it is the tone of your voice that clues me in on what you are talking about. We have gone over this before- the name tattooed on your wrist. We have talked about what would happen if we ever found her, what you would like me to do or say if it were me who crossed paths with her. I called you paranoid, then, because it is only a small percent of people in this world that ever cross paths with their soulmate. But I should have known, if someone could have such luck, then it would be you.

❤ Anniversary by doshu E | 3.7k | Complete | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

There’s a feather-light touch to Harry’s scar, one that lingers before trailing around the side of his face, coming to rest over his lower lip and tugging it slightly. Harry steels himself, then opens his eyes. “Hello, husband,” he says, facing Voldemort’s hungry gaze. “Happy anniversary.”

❤ Identity by crowthing E | 5.1k | Complete | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

It's been a year since Harry and Tom started dating, and a few days since Tom found out about his inheritance. They decide to celebrate their anniversary by taking a trip to the middle of nowhere to check out the Gaunt estate. This should be fine and perfectly safe. If Tom's warnings about his alter ego were actually serious, it would have come up by now.

❤ Stress Relief by Lolo_69 E | 2.7k | Complete | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Tom gets back from a grueling day of work at the MoM only to find his boyfriend already in bed, asleep.

❤ it's kind of tripping me up babe, i've got it bad for you by Limonium E | 3.4k | Complete | No Archive Warnings Apply

This could've been prevented, if they were paying attention. Harry says they were. Voldemort sighs, exasperated. His little menace. “Were we?” “Yeah.” Harry answers confidently. Paying attention to each other. Voldemort pinches him on his side for his cheek. Who would’ve expected magical books to be so volatile around people having sex? * In which they get isekai'd into a cursed erotica book.

❤ We're (Not) Together by doshu E | 3k | Complete | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

From Tom's point of view, they never broke up.

❤ you alone of all creatures by pwplicity (duplicity) E | 3.3k | Complete | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

You never ask, and I do not offer. What we have—what we do—is an illicit, unspoken affair. There is no place for us in the light, where my robes bear a Prefect’s badge and you are addressed as ‘sir’, and so I have been cornering you, for weeks now, in darkened corridors and dusty, abandoned classrooms.

❤ silk of midnight and dawn by Sinning Ilya (Ilyaa_zzz) E | 2.9k | Complete | Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Rape/Non-Con

Harry approaches, quietly, arms raised in front of him. But it doesn’t take long before pale skin transforms into soft fur as dark as the night sky. Red eyes, now green, look at Harry with such an intensity that he has to take a step back. Four-legged and as imposing as he is when standing in two, Tom Riddle has transformed into a panther. It’s a big thing, compared to Harry’s short build, exuding raw power as if it was a second skin clinging to it. It stalks around him, sniffing his clothes with what Harry hopes is harmless curiosity. Harry swallows thickly, with difficulty, the sound almost audible in the sudden silence that appears to have fallen over them. Deep down Harry knows he is safe. He knows Tom remains somewhere inside the beast’s head, that Tom would never let anything happen to him. But it isn’t often that one encounters such a ferocious animal, dangerous and on the loose, so who can blame him if he feels like he is going to shit his pants any second now?

❤ Because it is his by TheOnceandFutureQueenofTarts E | 2k | Complete | No Archive Warnings Apply

He glanced over his shoulder and caught Tom staring intently at Harry’s… well, Tom’s arse. “Tom.” To his credit, Tom showed not an ounce of shame as he let his eyes drift up to meet Harry’s. “Yes, darling?” “Were you just effectively checking yourself out?” Or: One time, someone told Tom to go f*** himself. He took that to heart.

❤ The Green Herring by duplicity G | 0.7k | Complete | No Archive Warnings Apply

There are more important things to know about Harry Evans.

❤ That's Your Boyfriend by solavonn (vonnibel) G | Art | No Archive Warnings Apply

In which Tom decides to try out Quidditch and Harry is in awe featuring Ron Weasley.

local library book sale section haul

i don't check the book sale section of my library very often, but I was there yesterday and found some really great finds for really cheap :)

more info + rambles under cut!

top row:

- Call The Name of The Night

(never heard of it, but it sounds interesting. $1 is such a small amount of money that it's worth taking the risk in not liking it. i can just give my best friend whatever i don't like in hopes that she might enjoy it <3)

- I'm in LOVE with the VILLAINESS

(best friend loves this one. i want to also love this one. i think she would be happier if i didn’t like it so she gets to keep it)

- Little Witch Academia

(read a few volumes of this (that i checked out from the same library lol) when i was young. it's really good iirc. i lack the motivation to finish most series but i wish i really could've w this one)

- Bloom into You

(cute yuri!! never read but i'm looking forward to it :) )

bottom row:

- Wotakoi: Love Is Hard For Otaku

(actually read this exact volume while visiting another library in the city not too long ago. really good imo. a cute and fun read, gotta place the others on hold)

- Land of the Lustrous

(i've heard of it, but i actually don't know much other than the description at the back and that cosplayers love this one. again, $1 is such a small loss that it's nbd if i don't like it.)

- citrus

(pirated the whole thing as a kid. stole my older brother's ps vita and wouldn't give it back because this was my wallpaper. this is the most controversial choice, but i'd like to see the rest of y’all NOT buy a childhood fave for $1. i think i'm in the right here. cute series, would be perfect if they weren't stepsisters, but that's literally the core plot so. y'know. it's regular good.)

all first volumes, and all for $1 (CAD)!! total value of the haul is $7. significantly cheaper than buying the random manga that people donate to the thrift store, except w way better selection (not counting the trashy thrift store yaoi because i've only seen that twice in 5 years.) AND with the knowledge that you've supported your library a little :) definitely would recommend checking this section out once in a while for anyone that buys books.

#i was so happy that i showed my coworkers (bought it directly before work)#and they were like 'holy shit. that is good.' except they could all guess the exact library i came from w frightening accuracy #anyway i love libraries i love libraries #had there not been so much manga i would've picked up a novel or two because some of them seemed pog #image #rambles #library #book haul #citrus #bloom into you #i’m in love with the villainess #little witch academia #call the name of the night #wotakoi #land of the lustrous #haul

Note

I don’t know if this counts as a subtype of fanon but with a lot of Tim and Jason fics I see a really weird pattern where Tim is more forgiving of what Jason did to him than what Damian or Dick did. The whole Robin situation with Dick and the Damian situation gets really blown up and make them out to be monsters but Jason gets a pass because they’re best buddies now. It’s really strange because I think Jason in canon treated Tim WAY worse than Dick or even Damian did. I can’t tell if it’s because the writers are Jason fans and want to make him look good or if they haven’t read the source material and just go along with the fanon narrative that Damian still hates Tim and that Dick “stole” Robin from Tim.

yes, i wouldn't say that that's its own subtype of fanon. that is, however, a problem caused by a myriad of factors, of which fanon is a definite part!

eta: sry for length, tumblr is denying me a readmore

it's strange, but not so strange to me, i guess. like, i don't like it, but since i lurked in fandom for a short time during the reborn era/right before flashpoint i kind of formed ideas of exactly...why/how the whole tim&jason thing happened and got pushed.

it's 2009-2011 and it's the heyday of tumblr headcanons. ones created by big name fans have a way of going viral and embedding themselves into the consciousness of the fandom. this is around the time we start to get the proliferation of the headcanon that tim was definitely stalking batman and robin at night and taking a million pictures of them and this basically starts to get considered canon by the fandom at large. there's still discussion of this today.

(now, i personally have mixed feelings on camera!tim. i'm not a fan of has all patrol routes memorized camera!tim, but i do like me a little bit of camera!tim. i tend to see the idea as more like what my husband tells me about people and emergencies. oh, there's something happening like a fire down the street? wow, can't believe it's time to go walk my dog. what do you mean it's 2:30 in the morning and that's weird? this is totally a normal thing to do, look at all these other 20 people who happen to be out walking their dogs at this totally normal time and all our routes happen to take us to the fire? this is a common dog-walking route! so imo, camera!tim as he should be is more--hey, we're at our downtown place and there's a robbery at first national gotham bank, guess i'm going to slip out and see if i can see anything and then take a photo if i do. i also think tim would be much more likely to take a bus to nyc and scope out dick's apartment but i am majorly digressing here-)

anyways, camera!tim and raised alone in drake manor!tim were very much two sides of the same coin and firmly embedded in fandom lore. and camera!tim forms....far more of a parasocial relationship with batman and robin than canon!tim ever did.

so then we have exactly when tim figured out dick was robin: he was nine. this is of course, only about a year/right before dick gets kicked out and jason becomes robin

so we have a tim, who is forming a parasocial relationship with batman and robin, and he only "has" dick as robin for at most a year and then he has jason as robin for three before he dies

so we now have a tim who has objectively "spent more time" with jason. ergo, you start to get headcanons that are like "hey, tim really only had dick as robin for a year. but jason, he spent jason's entire career with him. isn't jason so much more tim's robin on a personal level (because of all the time tim has spent in a parasocial relationship with him compared to dick)". thus, the proliferation of jason was tim's robin embeds itself into fandom lore.

meanwhile, we are also in the reborn era. fans (especially tumblr fans) are getting introduced to batfamily dynamics through the dissemination of comic book panels, rather than starting from the beginning and making their way through the entirety of canon. they are getting introduced to reborn dick and tim dynamics first, which are not good dick and tim dynamics since they are at a rocky-ish point and then they have to make their way backwards from there. so when you start from their absolute lowest point and work your way backwards, you go in with a certain bias and that's going to affect how you conceptualize the relationship. you see tim being treated (seemingly--and not my personal opinion) unfairly and you go back to when he was treated well and that is going to color how you see dick. you are not going to feel like dick deserves tim, if your first exposure to him is tim having robin taken away in favor of damian and then you look back and see the two of them doing so much better without damian. you're going to feel like dick is almost two-faced and was ready to drop tim at the drop of a hat once the "real son" came into the picture (again, i cannot stress how much this is not my personal opinion), rather than be like "wow, this whole era is really out of character for poor dick".

and really not helping the situation is that batman and robin is written by morrison, ergo we get morrison!dick and morrison!dick...doesn't really seem to care about or be very close with tim, sorry, "tim drake". so you get a dick who is very much investing all of his time and effort and love into rehabilitating damian, who only makes flippant comments about "how he could always give the job back to tim" as a gotcha to damian and calls him tim drake like they're acquaintances.

so this idea starts to form that dick no longer loves tim, since he has damian now. and that bias is going to color things like the hit list arc--every move dick makes is going to be microanalyzed to hell to support the idea that he prefers damian, ergo a lot of fuss is made over dick telling tim that maybe it isn't fair that damian is on his hit list and "lecturing" tim that damian bleeds a need to be accepted in the family, even after damian "attacked him", at the same time ignoring the fact that dick is basically telling tim that he completely understands why tim would put damian on the list and that there is an understanable logic to tim's approach, and just reminds him that bruce's secrecy about doing this exact thing bit him in the butt--which is a fair reminder at this point. and that dick does support tim keeping the list, and actively helps him to keep his private files more private away from damian's prying eyes. dick even says he plans on talking to damian (implied to be that dick will be trying to help damian understand that tim wasn't personally attacking damian or not accepting him because of this whole thing). damian, who "stole" robin and therefore dick's love from tim gets similarly microanalyzed--a lot of fuss is made over the "murder attempt" and it basically gets ignored that damian is very, very hurt that tim seemingly doesn't trust him/consider him part of the family despite all the hard work he's doing to be good which would indicate that he maybe actually wants tim's acceptance somewhat.

so we get a negative feedback look of dick+tim+damian dynamics that actively look for the absolute worst possible intention in dick and damian with every interaction they have with tim

and i'm going to tangent here on another thing i personally think comes into play here re: dick "firing" tim, especially in comparison to dick getting fired back in the day and why i think dick basically telling tim that he's ready to move on from robin and do his own thing is taken as dick essentially pushing tim out of the family

(and in no way does i think any of the following absolves terribleness of dick's firing by bruce)

so, when we consider dick's transition to nightwing, we have to consider the year: 1984. things were a lot different culturally, back then. this was still a time where you were getting married younger on average (1980 statistics show median marriage age at 24.7 for males/22 for females), so we're talking fairly soon out of college. once you've left the home of your parents, it's assumed you are gone for good--it's a sign of becoming an adult, starting your own family, creating your own home. culturally, it's not seen as terrible to expect that once your child (most likely male, female tends to have a little more leeway at staying with their parents until they're married) has hit 18 they will either go to work full-time, or go to college and work to pay for college themselves and then leave. so from a cultural perspective, it made sense that when dick "grew up" he had his own thing and he would be out of the family home (even if by force). at the time, a reader might be in the same boat as dick--so there's relatability there, it's not necessarily abnormal that someone dick's age is on their own or taking care of themselves by now, because it's not culturally expected that your parents would have to support you past the age of 18 (though this was far from a universal experience, i know)

but then we get to the year 2009. by now, cultural expectations of family support have changed drastically. if you tell your 18 year old child that they're on their own at 18, you're starting to be considered an unsupportive and "bad" family, because at this point you are willfully throwing your child to thousands of dollars of student debt and unaffordable rent/mortgage and potential homelessness as a result. on the other hand, good and supportive families do not do this. and not that tim would ever have to worry about any of this, but having tim be told that it's time for him to spread his wings at 17/18 might touch a nerve for people who have suffered as a result from being told by their family that at 18 they are now adults, when they have a crashed economy, no job, and potentially nowhere to live and they are being blamed for this and they have no familial safety net to fall back on. whereas it was far more normal for dick to leave to college at his age and then not return to his childhood home, and tim is the same age now as dick was at the time, tim moving out of the family home seems like much more of a punishment and as a loss of the family support structure which is seen as absolutely terrible, the worst thing that could happen, even if dick's firing was arguably much worse. tim's just vaguely *feels* worse (i mean, not to me, but...), because current cultural expectations for for 18 year olds have changed over time which causes them to be interpreted differently, i guess. add a dumb emancipation plotline and one might start to feel like tim is being forced out of the home and family at too young of an age, and that's considered highly cruel and the blame gets put on dick for doing this to tim (and damian, for making tim "so uncomfortable" in his own home so tim "had to leave"-- even though tim is the one who proactively realizes that he is chafing at the inherent constraints of living with dick and damian, not because he feels unsafe, but because he craves independence at this point and wants to do things on his own timetable without interference.)

and there's so much at the same time that clearly happens offscreen, but because there's no on-screen "resolution", it starts to get treated like it never happened. dick and tim clearly cleared the air after tim returned home and forgave each other. tim and damian clearly cleared the air after the hit list arc and settled into slightly snarky, but overall amiable relationship where they do care about the other's wellbeing. but since we don't have a panel we can disseminate that's damian being like "drake...im sorry...i shouldn't have cut ur line...forgive me pls..." (i don't think he needed to say this btw, i think they just needed to have a conversation about how it wasn't personal and yes, tim trusts that damian is improving and good) it gets twisted into, well, damian got to try and murder tim with no consequences and dick let him get away with it. since the resolution happened offscreen, it's treated like it basically didn't happen.

so you mix all of this together, and then everything gets blown up by the nu52, which totally tanks the dick and tim brotherhood into basically nothing while keeping the same pre-52 arguments of tim and damian hating each other, but there's no good reason for them to anymore, except that tim is now being written by lobdell

seriously, there's no real reason why codename:tim drake would not consider or accept damian as robin or a wayne. tim's whole thing here is he was never really robin, so why tf would be be mad about damian replacing him if there's no feasible way that that happened here? nothing makes sense, so it just flares up pre-52 tensions for no reason. oh and tim's apparently closest to jason now. dick only cares about damian because he has no reason to care about nu52 tim drake, there's no personal connection there. now those are acquaintances. and you have fans who are still trying to cling to pre-52 tim, but in this nu52 world and yea. then it really starts to look dick doesn't care about tim, only damian, and then our negative feedback loop of tim+dick+damian dynamics continues to spiral down and down and down whereas at least here in this new continuity, jason and tim seems to like each other best and we start to see a positive feedback loop of all the earlier mention ideas that jason was really tim's favorite/his special robin all along.

but, we still have the problem of jason trying to murder tim a bunch. luckily, lobdell chose to ignore that so we can too

we also have a transition around this time towards the idea that jason is actually justified in his murder/murder attempts because in 2010 the movie Batman: Under The Red Hood comes out and it is much, much easier to watch a 75 minute movie than it is to read 20+ years of comic book canon. and we have jason voiced by jensen ackles and telling bruce that bruce should have killed the joker just because he took jason away from him. which starts to garner a lot more sympathy for jason and jason's position of "actually, revenge murder is an objectively good thing, who wouldn't want their loved ones to revenge murder the person who killed them?". so we start to get those who don't necessarily see jason doing all the horrible things he did post-resurrection as objectively bad things or even meant to be objectively bad things, because jason's anger was righteous and his lashing out was totally justified. so we start to get twists that explain away or lessen the horribleness of his post-resurrection actions. does it matter that he killed drug dealers and ganglords? well, they were criminals anyways and he's protecting the poor people who would be victimized by them far more effectively than batman, at least! so the murder attempts (which i don't consider personal or a huge deal canonically, anyways) of tim start to appear in a not as bad of a light because jason is not a bad person since he is justified emotionally in his actions.

and then we contrast that to dick's perceived larger sin of "booting tim from the family" and feeling like since tim no longer has his family support structure to fall back on (which is not true at all) he gets drawn to jason, who similarly no longer has the social safety net of the batfamily so it's seen as the two of them having this in common. again, this is boosted by the nu52, which also basically ignores any previous bad blood between jason and tim and pushes the idea that they're both black sheep who find a kindred spirit in each other.

so jason's actions toward tim get explained and justified, whereas dick+ damian's actions get flanderized to the point of unrecognition and we end up with a fandom that is largely more forgiving of jason than dick based on severity of perceived slights and whether or not the other was justified in their treatment of tim (jason was, but dick definitely was not since he has no good reason to do what he did--again. not my personal opinion on dick.)

so to me, i think it's definitely a mix. people don't read the full source material because it really is a difficult thing to do and don't have what they consider acceptable on page reconciliation, fanon headcanons have proliferated and burrowed their way deep into fandom consciousness and get passed down and down getting worse along the way (honestly, i s2g i think i remember where the dick wants to throw tim into arkham one came from and i'm pretty sure it was along the lines of someone positing that maybe, do you think that when dick mentioned therapy to tim tim was terrified because the only option in gotham is arkham) (i could be making that up entirely, memory is fallible, but i think i remember seeing something like that along the way) and the perceived slights of dick being considered much more personal and far more cruel and you get a bunch of fans who want tim and jason to be the perfect brother duo/don't want dick to be tim's favorite.

#scintilly ask tag #if i got anything wrong about nu52....i rly don't care lbr i stopped reading it for a reason lol #these are only my opinions mind you you do not have to agree with them

Price of a lie

Character: Reggie Mantle x male reader

Universe: Riverdale

Warnings: Break up

People who live double lives are almost always frowned upon. But they all have valid reasons to do so. Some might even be dangerous and still, when it comes out. No one likes it. Doesn’t matter which reason was behind it, only that they got lied to.

You never were a person to need that. For most people, you always were an open book. Nothing hiding, not even in your eyes. Every feeling you show is genuine. Not a single word muttered out of your mouth was ever a lie. People would call you `The pure one´, not as an insult or something, but because you never had any shifty motives, like other people had.

Like Betty, staying always so close to Archie, despite it being obvious, that she was in love with him but not the other way around. Or Kevin and Moose, they are able to fool most people, but not everyone. Their motive is a lighter one, to prevent their secret love of getting out. You were just disappointed in both of them, that neither brought Moose to end his relationship with his girlfriend, before they began to do stuff.

In your mind, nothing of this was okay. If you want something from a person you tell them, if you love someone you do the same. The truth is always something you saw not only as important but as mandatory.

For some reason, Reggie found interest in you. The school hotshot, who everyone wanted to be with, even if it only for one night. He was somewhat desperate most of the time, in many ways, but you never had a problem with it. You could manage him and even his father who was a total homophobe, could not hate you.

He hated what you were standing for but realized, that it wasn’t bad to be like you, which did not meant that he liked it. Slowly he became to tolerate people like you and you never asked for anything else. Because that wouldn’t be okay either. Tolerance is everything that is needed.

Sometimes you found yourself with his dad talking about sports and even helping him with his cars. Your own dad wasn’t around much, as a diplomat he wasn’t often not at home. But you and your mom, also did not want to go with him, so he comes back whenever he has time. Still your parents loved each other like they did on their first date. It was gross more often than not.

Still you knew, that his father was and still is abusive towards him. Nothing will change that, but you try to be there whenever something happened or be there, so nothing will happen. Because this man cares why too much what other people think of him.

All of this your personality, the honest and friendly one, as well as your perfect relationship, could’ve never prepared you for what just happened.

You stayed behind in school, to help with projects, until you lost track of time. It was late, maybe six or seven o’clock, the janitor would almost certainly kick you out any moment. Where Betty and Veronica, the wicked witch of the west, came by.

Both looked nervous, Betty obviously had cried for a little while.

„(Y/N), I have something you should see. But you should sit for it.“ You did not know what it was, if it was her broken voice, or the sympathy in it, but you did what she asked you to do.

„What is it Betty? You slowly begin to creep me out,“ you laughed softly, trying to brighten up the mood. But neither of the girls laughed with you, which only let your thoughts ran even faster.

Wordlessly they gave you a black book, you looked strangely at them, before opening it. There in big letter was written `PLAYBOOK´. So they stole they game book from one of your sports teams?

You already wanted to ask them, but as you glanced up both girls seemed determined that you would go trough it. With little hesitance you did just that. There were names of the football team members, besides them girl names, a comment, then points and at the end a date.

The first two names of the book were Chuck and Reggie, which was strange, because the date at the end of Reggies entry was way into your relationship, but at that point it wasn’t public yet, after his wishes, so you avoided him in school, to not lie to anyone or yourself.

As you got trough the book, Reggie’s name was overwhelmingly present in it. At some parts if even looked like he was the only one. But still you had no idea what this book was about.

„So and? For what are these points?“, you asked dumbly. You hadn’t read any of the comments, because you felt, bad to read something personal. But after Betty told you that this is a book over sexual conquests, your eyes almost immediately fell out. It only got worse, after she told you that you should open the last page.

It was different from the pages with the girls, above it stood only `Faggots´ and the entries were everything but nice. Not many players, had entries there, Chuck had two and Reggie had one. You. A comment that made you sick to your stomach. He described you as `used goods´, completely loose, like a desperate whore. He gave you three out of ten points. The date was about your complete relationship.

Inside you felt completely crushed, heartbroken and betrayed. Outside you seemed completely unfazed, as if this hasn’t ruined your complete relationship in seconds. „Can I copy this?“

Both girls were visible disturbed by your nonchalant questions. They thought you would scream, cry or anything else, but you had other plans.

For some reason you slept that night like a baby. Betty and Veronica told you, when they want to show the evidence to your principal. So your plan began to form itself.

As any other morning after this beautiful night sleep, you came into school with a shining smile. Directly walking up to Reggie and nuzzling in his side, while he laughed about it, as usual. Him kissing the top of your head and swinging his arm over your shoulder.

„Reggie, do you love me?“

„Of course Baby, more than anything!“

But now you knew it was a lie. The entire time, you felt so stupid for not realizing it earlier. How could someone you trusted this much, be such a scumbag? Still you waited fro the lunch break. Everything needed to look like it was normal.

You kissed Reggie on his lips. Lips you once thought were only for you. But now you knew that they kissed dozens of others. His hand running down your sides, tickling you slightly, always fiddling with your body. Now you asked yourself how many others did he touched so lovingly? But the worst were his words of encouragement and loving side remarks. These meant nothing now. Just hollow phrases you were sure of, he told others too.

The day was a fas. It was the hardest thing in your life. But it wasn’t a lie. You still loved Reggie dearly. And you wished nothing of it was true. This changed at lunch, when Bett and Veronica vanished and you knew that this was the moment.

„Reggie do you love me?“ This time you asked him in front of all his little football friends.

„Of course I love you baby.“ He answered just as you had thought. Only this time you really saw the looks of the others. Some disgusted, other ashamed and one or two even with pity.

So you just took the copy of the entry out of your backpack and began to read.

„Reggie Mantle, (Y/N) (Y/L/N), a completely loosen up whore. Certainly not the first guy who used him. Begged me for it. Obedient whore, even let me piss on him. Three out of ten points. And look at this, a four year time span.“ You finished up reading and the looks of the guys at your table changed into horrifying glances in your direction.

„I mean not everything is a lie. Of course im used up, because I had daily sex with my know ex-boyfriend. But don’t worry, no other every touched me and will not in the near future. But obedient? Did you tell your little friends here, that I bind you to your bed and fucked myself with your dick, because you can’t handle it yourself? And five minutes is really not a goof time Reggie. And pissing? I didn’t even knew you had that kink, which would explain the stains on your bed, because you do it to yourself?“

Everything was now laid out. Reggie seemed completely devastated. The two guys that took pity on you, smirked at him, after you were finished with putting the dirty clothes out.

His shaking body after, he was about to start something, so you just silently stood up, let the page lay on the table and began to walk away.

„You can’t speak to me like this, Im your boyfriend, you have to obey-“

Before he could finish, you turned around, punching him directly onto his nose, which let him fall to the ground. „We are nothing Mantle. Have fun telling your father, I believe he will not be happy, to not have his second son at his house anymore.“

Now even Reggie looked horrified with his bloody nose, it gave you a sense of accomplishment. He paid the price of being a liar. And you were free, heartbroken and devastated, but free. Slowly the tears began running down your cheeks, as you made your way trough the hallways alone, with all the memories you shared with Reggie. But someday you will find a guy who truly treasures you. And the price of love will not be as high as this one.

Finding Your Healing//The Ally Brooke Show

I was thinking a lot about this post. After seeing the stir caused by the Twitter threads regarding this issue, I decided to rethink all my thoughts about it and not upload the Twitter thread to this blog.

That means that I am not going to talk about certain issues and I am seriously thinking of erasing perhaps part of that thread, but my decision is not totally taken for a very brutally honest reason. My feelings regarding what I read in Ally's book and what I saw in that show have not changed, folks.

youtube

There is something in Ally that I think I will never end up understanding, or feeling about what her public image causes me. A hunch, intuition, perception. I don't know, you can put the name you want. But something with that girl does not quite convince me and I could perceive that and I can perceive it every time I see her in an interview and what I saw in that show of her. In her body language. Her manners. The uncomfortable way she looked in that show. Maybe it was because it was the first show, maybe it was because she was nervous. Maybe it was because she did not feel comfortable having the boyfriend Manager on her side that, by the way, I don't even know what kind of relationship they could have. I saw a photo of both of them for Valentine's Day where she looked everything but in love, but I could not assure it because I do not know anything about that relationship and I only noticed Ally. In which she kept drying the sweat of face when she talked about her time in the band. Sweat that could be due to her nerves. Sweat that could cause in her because she was not being honest, I don't know. You have to see the video, folk. It's strange.

I remember Lauren's video in Zach Sang commenting that she does not regret anything that has happened in the band because all the shit she spent through the good and the bad, formed her in the person who she is today and that if she would not have gone through that maybe it would be different and she would not be in the place where she is today

youtube

Something that if you read Ally's book or see that show of her may notice that she does mention the girls, but implies that she was the only one having a bad time.

I have trouble understanding that, folks. Understand that trip from her along the path of pity for herself. For everything they stole from her, for everything that others have taken from her or have not given her. The worst of all? Is that she is selling it. Does she have the right to do it? Of course, it happened to her. She lived it, but there are four other girls who have not had the same chance to tell their experiences. Four more stories that remain to tell. Of four teenagers who put in a reality show without having the fucking idea of how the shitty industry was handled, against a nineteenth -year -old girl who has been looking for opportunities in the industry since she was twelve years old. I can't stop feeling that Ally needed someone to blame for what happened to her. Of what they did not give her, because the spotlight was always in someone else and not in her. She talked about competition and of course, unfortunately, that competition was between those four teenagers. Four girls that were really badly treated. THEY DID THAT TO HER. THOSE BASTARDS NEVER GAVE THEM WHAT THEY DESERVE EVEN ALLY.

Then she got that spotlight in her book and her show with her name. Because the number of times I heard her say her own name in that show left me stunned. There were many. And everything I heard what moved me the most was the part where she talked about her family. From her frustration for not getting her opportunity in the industry, her opportunity to be an actress. And God, what shocked me the most was to say "our industry" twice and praise Simon Cowell for what he did for her.

The feeling that this show has left me is that Ally Brooke has not passed the page. That she has not started her way to healing as Lauren has done. I am proud to see that our Moonchild has achieved that change in her life, that maturity, that way of seeing life and understanding things that she could not before because she had no one to help her. Also, in the way Camila has done. Even having to go through those horrible circuses, with a horrible team on her side that we still hope she can eliminate her life and her career. It is fun because I remember that today in Zoom's Meeting, Lauren talked about the fans who criticized her team for the changes of her concert dates and said: I know that you are traumatized by the teams, and that you have always wanted me to have a good team, I know. I love how she knows us in that way, folks. And yes, we are traumatized. Not only with the teams and the shitty management of the girls, but we are also traumatized by the fucking industry and we are not even within it.

We are traumatized by disgusting pigs that handle artists at will and exploit them until there are no shadows left. It is for that reason that I do not understand how Ally Brooke can include herself in that shit hole and I want to believe that she does it because of her contracts and not for her own decision. And I hope, if she has done it by her own decision, knowing that it was the only way to get what she wanted, that she is careful. Seeing her so happy talking about her industry altered my nerves, folk. I will not deny it because I did not understand any of that. Nor do I understand her words when she comments that in her audition, she got very angry because her audition edition made her see arrogant. That is something that I don't understand because, Why are you going to be afraid to see you arrogant if you really are not like that? No idea. I just hope Ally is happy with his decisions. I hope Dinah also gets that healing she needs and the same goes for Normani. And for Ally, too. I don't like her, but that doesn't make me hate her. She never did. There is much more that I would like to say in this post, but I changed everything I had planned to say and that I was related to the thread that I wrote in collaboration with @skywithesmeralds and @ra-raisara (and two other Twitter mutuals) I know it is completely different, but it is something that I had to comment and express because I still have many doubts with Ally after seeing the post she made for the 5H anniversary, where she cut the other four girls in the video she posted. She did not label them and everything focused on her, as if the other four girls had never been in the same band as her. I hope that one day we can know that part of the story we still don't know. The four books, the four truths. The four traumas and the four paths to healing. With this post I will also close Ally's subject, folks. I will not say anything else about it and I will not answer questions so I expect understanding. Thank you for reading.

I'm a Villainess But I Became a Mother - By Sisse (7.5/10)

Do you like being shot out of a cannon? Do you like it when the plot moves fast? Are you tired of reading complex stories and waiting fifty chapters for the yandere part? Here's a solution for you. It takes a grand total of three chapters for things to get wild here, so buckle up.

Loure Eclair is a spoiled, rich noble girl with a flawless life. At the age of nine she meets her fiance, and she freaks out. She cries because her future is bleak. This isn't her first life. She was a normal woman before, and she was reborn in a romance novel. That's why her life is so absurdly perfect. She only has a few memories of the past, but she knows this world is heavily affected by "fate". Her fate is death.

She hates her fiance, because he's the reason why she suffers. Loure is the evil fiance side character. The woman that gets in the way before she is unceremoniously killed. Young Calix is confused by her hatred, and he tries to get along with her. He puts in a lot of effort, but it takes years for him to befriend Loure. She cannot let herself love him. She actually plans to let the female lead have him as soon as she arrives. She doesn't want to get in the way, and avoiding fate is her top priority.

Loure knows her future ten years from now is pathetic. She only sleeps with her fiance once, and then he immediately falls for the female lead. He forgets her immediately, so she knows she can't get attached. The original Loure dearly loved Calix, and he only became her fiance out of duty. Their marriage was a political one. In the novel Calix uses his awesome power and genius mind to force his way out of the marriage. Basically he claims that he is strong and important enough to break the agreement, and have his true love.

How romantic, but what about Loure?

In the original Loure basically went insane. Calix broke every social convention to have his true love. He treated his actual fiance, who adored him, like a dog. Everybody pressured her into breaking the marriage, because she was in the way. Everyone agreed. She wasn't good enough for him. Loure snaps completely and she tries to kill the woman who stole her life, and then she is executed.

I really believe Loure isn't stupid. She has every reason to doubt her weird memories. Her past life doesn't affect her much. She just remembers her old name, and the name of the book she's in. She begins to doubt herself, because Calix really loves her. He's really kind to her. He's very patient. He's standoffish to people he doesn't like, and she's clearly his favorite person. When she's in the room he ignores everyone else.

Is this really the same man that will cast her aside for someone more special?

She almost can't believe it, but she can't fully deny it. The novel is still moving forward as sheduled. Things in the original plot keep happening.

She's terrified.

Calix cannot read minds, so he does his best to seduce her. On paper he does everything right. He's the perfect prince...whoops...nope he's right below the Prince. He doesn't understand why Loure keeps rejecting him, even though she's attracted to him, so Calix assumes she wants to be the Crown Princess. I like that, because it actually makes sense. Calix doesn't assume that Loure is nuts or cruel. He thinks she wants power for some reason, and he's willing to give it to her.

A massive misunderstanding begins to brew. The arrogant playboy Prince, Alexander Westwing, has been trying to court Loure. He doesn't like her as a person or anything. He just thinks she's pretty. This story isn't fully translated yet, but I think Calix intends to somehow steal the Prince's power. Alexander is a perverted idiot after all. A national treasure like Calix can easily take him down, but this seems excessive. Calix is a little excessive.

Loure doesn't catch on, because none of this is in the original plot. She's too obsessed with the original plot. She hasn't noticed the shady shit he's been doing. She doesn't know that Calix is plotting to usurp a Prince for her.

Calix begs her to spend her first night with him. He does it on his knees. She can't deny his sincerity. He clearly wants her, so she lets him take her to bed. The argument about Alexander is very awkward, but they still do it. Later on, Loure becomes pregnant and she panics. She abandons Calix, because she doesn't want her child to die. She has realized that Calix is very loyal to the woman he loves, but his destiny is the female lead who hasn't appeared yet. Loure thinks of her child's safety first. She tells Calix nothing, and she manages to escape.

Calix thought she would never leave him, because he has been meticulously taming her. He knew she didn't want him in the beginning. He planned his seduction year by year, day by day, to break down her barriers. He got injured on purpose so she would have to nurse him back to health. He waited for her in the rain to make her feel guilty enough to let him in her room. He isolated her from other people. She's got no close friends, and zero male friends. That's all be design. Calix wants to give his wife the perfect life. Earning her love satisfied him deeply, and he became obsessed with her. Apparently, he likes it when women are hard to please. When she started to love him in return his love warped. It's a dark sort of love now. He likes to control her.

Calix thinks Loure is the most beautiful and best woman in the world. The plot is moving very quickly, so I hope it gets darker. I'll be very happy if Calix murders the mysterious female lead. He's already thinking about killing the Prince. Loure running away will definitely make him more unstable.

I present to you: more Cuphead headcanons as an apology for not having much art to post

Cuphead is academically smart, he just likes to pretend he's dumber than he actually is to avoid pressure and stuff

Cuphead likes picking up hobbies, but hates when people make a big deal about his talents (kinda like in the piano episode of the show) and will sometimes hide his talents so he doesn't get pressured into doing something more with them

Mugman is a little short sighted, he needs glasses to read and see finer details but it's not super bad or anything. In fact he dislikes wearing glasses cuz 1, he thinks it makes him look like a nerd, and 2, they constantly fall off whenever he wears them and he's afraid he or Cuphead will accidently break them

Mugman HATES bugs

Cuphead doesn't mind bugs unless they're on him, but he likes observing bugs from a distance. (He tried making a bug collection once, but he accidentally broke the jar he was keeping them in and they got loose in the house, which resulted in Elder Kettle being very angry and Mugman not being able to sleep for a week)

Cuphead really likes collecting sticks and has names for each of them

Mugman does the same thing except for rocks

Mugman is allergic to cats, the poor guy :(

When Cuphead and Mugman were about 6, they decided to make a book together called "Cups in the Woods", Cuphead drew the pictures and Mugman wrote the story. Elder Kettle still has the book, and keeps it in his room to this day

Mugman is a total romance sap and will spend days gushing to Cuphead about his favorite ship

Mugman once had a phase where he wanted to be a cop (due to an cool old cop hat he found) until one day the hat went missing, and he sulked for 3 days after that

Cuphead stole his cop hat and hid it because he was tired of Mugman's cop phase and mugs constantly shouting "HALT THIEF" and then chasing him around the house for no reason. He had planned to give it back once Mugs gave up the phase but he forgot where he hid it so it's whereabouts remain unknown to this day

Cuphead has no idea what he wants to be when he grows up, and sometimes he gets really stressed over it but won't ever acknowledge it. Whenever the topic comes up he'll find ways to deflect it or make jokes about it. He doesn't like thinking about it

here's a bonus Chalice one:

Chalice constantly walks into doors and walls in her corporeal form because she forgets she's not a ghost

#school is killing my artistic braincells help me #take random headcanons instead #cuphead #mugman #chalice #cuphead headcanons #mugman headcanons #headcanon #cuphead au #i guess?#idk if this counts #cuphead ddwtd #my headcanons

Hi um! Edgeshot backstory headcanon as fits my personal version of him?!? yeah!!

CW// familial death

He's mixed—Thai on his mother's side, Chinese and Japanese on his father's side

(his grandmother is Chinese and his grandfather is Japanese)

He was born in Thailand and lived there until he was ~9 years old

He moved because his parents and sister, uh. died.

His closest living relative at the time was his grandma, who lived in Japan.

His grandpa had also died (much earlier; of unrelated health causes), so it was just him and Nǎinai </3

She pretty much raised him from then on (along with some help from his cousin, but she mainly just babysat)

Because of. all of that. He speaks a total of three languages: Thai, Mandarin, and Japanese. He also has plenty of influence from all three cultures ✨

ok, moving forward

He was honestly closer with Tsunagu at UA than he was with anyone in his class.

This one's canon, but he trained with Tsunagu pretty regularly. They were pretty close.

Graduated at the top of their class though! <3

Back to Nǎinai— Her house that she had was pretty big, with a whole garden in the back with a koi pond and a small pavilion and everything.

She lived a long time, but sadly passed sometime in Shinya's 20s. He continued to tend to the house and garden in her absence the same way they used to together.

The house had a lot of strong memories for him though, so they moved in with Tsunagu after they got together. He never sold the property or anything. Continues to care for the garden, visits regularly to clean and reminisce.

Tsunagu helps with the plants, too. He's better with the potted/indoor houseplants, while Shin'ya mostly tends to the vegetables.

In my head they are content with their lives like this (we are Ignoring canon, k?)

Uhh now just random miscellaneous headcanons for him I guess??

prefers tea over coffee lol

Left-handed. Idk he has the vibes ig?? This one has been rooted in my brain for a WHILE now (+bonus points to anyone who noticed that in my art already /lh)

Likes to doodle! Will honestly doodle in anything that has margins or available space. notes, paperwork, the undersides of origami paper...

(he/they) but doesn't actually care that much

good?? at math???

TOTAL cat person

There are several stray cats that regularly visit his Nǎinai's garden. He feeds them and cherishes their presence deeply. Has names for ALL of them and actually cried when one of them had kittens

He actively changes the.. I'm not sure what word to use for it. Tone? Depth?... He alters his voice a little bit for his hero persona. His natural speaking voice is actually a lot lighter and not as. raspy.?

He does that because it adds to the ✨charm✨ of his reputation a bit, but it also helps keep him fairly unrecognizable when he's not on duty.

(I totally yoinked that one from the anime; That scene where he said the pizza delivery distraction line? I didn't even realize that he was the one that said it at first, and then I thought about it for a while and just came to this conclusion ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ )

Tsunagu gave him his signature red scarf when they were in their UA years. He doesn't use the original in his hero costume, but he did integrate it into his costume design.

He has heterochromia. I just really like this one.

Needs glasses though (stole that one from Newt <3)

Also has a. fascination. with human anatomy. Could probably list off the scientific names for every body part, if you asked. (also stole that one from Newt <3)

he LOVES stories. Urban legends, myths, folktales, experiences, personal gossip—anything of that sort. Nǎinai told him lots of stories when he was younger. His favorites were the ones about ninjas.

He now has a collection of books that could probably be considered a library, featuring both fiction and historical nonfiction. Most of it he keeps at Nǎinai's house, but he has some relevant stuff in his agency's office.

#edgeshot stans on Tumblr for some reason: HE'S AN ORPHAN #(/lh /j)#all of us looking at him: no parents? /ref /J #tw caps #quillnnotart #bnha #edgeshot #kamihara shinya #edgejeanist

Hello! I feel like I need to tell it to someone since the only person in my personal life who I thought she’ll feel the same but she doesn’t understand it.

So I finally got to watch Heartstopper and uuuuuugh it may sound weird but as much as I have never read any larry fic, watching Hearstopper is kinda larry fic for me because I totally see larry baby boyfriends in Charlie and Nick and I totally love it. Like I hope some larries is feeling the same because that only person in my personal life is also larrie but she find Hearstopper boring, she’s not impressed by it and so she won’t understand how much I project baby larry into Hearstoppers. Have you seen it? I also saw RWRB but I didn’t like it that much (maybe that’s because I’m not into american production and that film was very american for me and I cringed with some scenes sorry 😅) but Hearstopper stole my heart from the very first minute, such a comforting feel-good series for teens with queers and their young innocent love.

Oh and last point - MP was my very first queer movie, then I saw Call Me By Your Name and I’m even suprised there is one small gay scene from Bones and All (yep, I saw it months before the current stunt drama ‘cause I like Timothèe) and I just hope we’ll be getting queer movies/series more and more because it’s so refreshing!

Hello, anon!

Wow, so first thing first. You haven't read any larry fics? I'd kill for getting to experience reading some of my favourite fics for the first time again! There is so many great authors in this fandom too, we are so lucky! Are you just not a big reader? If so, that's fair.

Yes, i have seen heartstopper. Overall i think it was okay. It is a very important show though and i love the praise it's getting and how popular it's become, it's all well deserved! Sorry, if this is a buzzkill for you 🙈. I think everyone has their own likes and dislikes, and got reasons for it. That's okay!

I just think i'm getting too old for cute, innocent high school romantic dramas. I didn't think it was boring, the acting was pretty good. The characters are well developed. It's just that the tropes they use are not my favourite. It was too cutesy, juvenile and way too much fluff for me. If i'm going to compare in sort of the same category, i think i liked young royals (or even skam) better. I do get why you see young harry and louis in nick and charlie. I see some similarities there too.

Rwrb on the other hand is right up my alley! I love the enemies to lovers trope and i'd watch the worst movies or shows if it had that trope (and probably enjoy it). I've lost count on how many times i've seen rwrb. I didn't like the book though (well i haven't finished it yet, still got a couple of chapters left, but i'm struggling to finish it. There are so many better larry fics i'd rather spend time reading...). If by all this you figure that my favourite queer show must be the american version of queer as folk, you'd be absolutely right.

I hope will be getting more queer movies and series too! A little bit of something for everyone.

#i honestly can't get things angsty enough #i want my heart torn apart and then put back together again #and slow burn so the pain last a bit to make the happy ending even sweeter #heartstopper #rwrb #fandom #fan fiction

Assign a popular (or maybe unknown?) Kids book series to your OCs (ex: Warrior Cats, Percy Jackson, Magic Treehouse(?))

Ooh, interesting! Thanks for the ask! This'll take some thinking, I was a really avid reader as a kid so it might be hard to choose

Okay well Kestrel is already technically from a kids/teen book series since that whole fic is based on the Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull. Great series, really, I still love it as an adult and the characters/plot really hold up!

Rae I think would get Goosebumps. Her story isn't particularly spooky, but she enjoys horror books as an adult (namely Stephen King) and if the Goosebumps books had been around when she was a kid, she'd have eaten them up. Plus, there's such a particular upfront and daring style to them that I think reflects her.

Robin gets the Bailey School Kids books. I mean, a group of schoolkids trying to investigate things that they assume are much bigger than them? And in the books, it usually ends up being totally mundane, which wasn't exactly the case for Robin's little investigations... but it still works. And if I remember correctly, one of the main characters was named Melody

Jasper gets Sideways Stories from Wayside School, another one of my favorites as a kid. They're really goofy, off-the-wall stories (written by the same guy who wrote Holes), but some of them get shockingly dark at times! I remember there was one story about a guy who showed up and stole everyone's voices, and another one with a hypnotist who would just hypnotize people with the most random things, those really stuck with me. A little out-there, a little away from the ordinary, and sometimes a little dark.

Katherine grew up on comic books and graphic novels, but I'm not sure that counts. So... we'll give her Geronimo Stilton. I think she would have enjoyed the different fonts and doodles, plus all the goofy adventures in the books.

Quinn gets my long-time favorite, Wings of Fire. I can't really justify this choice, other than that it's another fantastic book series that still holds up even in adulthood, and there's a lot of darker themes in them that I was surprised made their way into a youth series. Oh, and bonus: there's a lot of queer rep and disabled rep, particularly in the later books! There's a reason I love them so much :)

Indigo.... I don't know. She's been through some serious shit, though, so we'll give her A Series of Unfortunate Events. I don't think I really need to explain this choice, do I?

Madison gets the Boxcar Children for sure. It's about this group of siblings that runs off to the woods and ends up living in an abandoned boxcar for a while, until they end up being adopted by this rich family. They made several books (I only read the first one), but it definitely seems fitting for her.

Prometheus gets the Magic Treehouse, since I think it's the most fitting to their story. I mean, travelling through time, exploring different worlds while maintaining the safety of the treehouse, it just strikes me as very suited to them.

Ophelia gets the Encyclopedia Brown books. Man, I used to love those as a kid - they were mystery/hijinks books starring this kid detective, but they put the reveal at the end of the book so you could try to guess what you think happened before flipping ahead and reading the ending. Ophelia would have loved those, I'm sure, with her inquisitive mind.

//This my dear slig. An underrated species for OCs. I still don't have an illustrative definition of him but I hope you like it ^^

Name: Belisario (actual & chosen name)/ 7362th (original 'name')

Age: 17 years old (old but still standing as a young one)

Species: Slig

Gender: He/Him

Sexuality: Aromantic

Job: Used to be one of the glukkon's bodyguard from Rupture Farms right before the conference (knows the deal of using the Mudokon employees as food since he was 15 thanks to eavesdropping) until he was moved the same day to Necrum as a flying/ground slig to watch over the blind Mudokons. Now he is a fugitive.

- ex-flying/slacker slig type

- Since his youth, he had to pull out the tough/@buser personality like the rest of his species so they wouldn't isolate nor k!ll him in the future. When nobody's looking, he used to go to a corner to rather let the tears come out quietly or take long naps to escape from the horrible reality, his 'slacking' moments. It wasn't until he started talking to some of the blind Mudokons of Necrum (out of boredom at first) when he started debating internally whether to become a traitor or stay loyal to the Glukkons.

- Due to the reprimands of him 'slacking' in the Rupture Farms and Necrum, he decided to do exercise with and without his Slig pants when he's in land, preparing himself in both situations 'just in case' as he starts talking to the blind Mudokons whenever he has the chance (he still cries but it becomes pretty rare).

- Found out the Soulstorm ingredients and its side effects when he eavesdropped in a conference with the Soulstorm CEO by accident. With all the information accidentally acquired, he finally decided to betray them in a way he started thinking about: as a spy, 'shapeshifter' type.

- He remembers all the comics of a slig (Andrias the Impeccable), his inspiration since his youth.

- The moment he stepped out of Necrum, he stopped using his original name '7362th', since it's a constant reminder of his old job, as a puppet of this monster called corrupted society.

- He escaped thanks to a temporal blackout in the whole mine system. He saw the chance and gladly took it. He grabbed his helicopter attachment, attached his slig-pants to it along with a pocket knife and fled.

LIFESTYLE

- Thanks to the helicopter attachment, he was able to fly directly to his current little hideout.

- At the beginning, he stole food from the packages that were traded in Phat Station, taking the place of one slig at a time, killing them before he replaced them. One day, he found a Survival book (which started his book collection, specifically about practical stuff such as the use of arms, technology, first aids and self-defense) which helped him with hunting and orientation.

- Thanks to that knowledge, he was able to build a basic circuit once he stole a package of a compwriter (which cost him the helicopter attachment, impossible to fix).

- While time passed by, he started making rudimentary adaptation mechanisms whenever he isn't using the slig-pants. It's still in proccess but he has one to reach the highest shelves for books.

- He partially regrets leaving the blind mudokons behind. If he ever had the chance and time to rescue them, he would do it.

- Determined to destroy all glukkon's sweatshops but he will not do it... Yet.

PERSONALITY

- Reserved with most people at first until he gets to know them.

- Doesn't matter if you're a slig, a mudokon or any other creature, he will not fully trust you due to two mudokons who stole his food when Belisario offered them a place to hide fromq the sligs who @bu5ed the employees.

- He's formally kind to the visitors that need a place to hide/rest. Still saves the distance between the visitor and him.

- A bookworm. Total sucker for 'practical activity' type books. He rarely picks a literature book but only to k¡ll time.

- Once he warms up with people who he trusts, he will be a little bit more joyful.

- In his 'job' as a spy, he has no emotions to show. He used to hesitate a little when he killed sligs, but he got used to it. It's flipping the switch and he goes killer mode.

APPEARENCE

He has the common slig skin colour which (helps a lot in blending in) with a couple of scars hidden under the mask.

He has slig-pants with detachable suspenders, engine silencer and a sheath for the dagger he uses to finish his victims (the pocket knife nowadays is used for daily hunting and crafting) whenever he needs to replace the worn down mechanical legs (and the mask along) to new ones. The engine silencer is used for stealth while the suspenders are for reassurance with running and parkour.

When he's in his hideout, however, he doesn't wear them and walks with his arms. He 'walks' faster due to the training he did in the past (he always catches his visitors off guard when he does that xD). He wears a couple of leather bracelets and gloves for walking time.

Jugdral's dragon gods

I forgot to post my Jugdral dragons headcanons theory here!

I know that I usually make posts related to Three Houses, but I'm also a huge nerd when it comes to Jugdral's dragons. So here's a little theory post as we wait for the inevitable FE4 Remake!

Let's unpack!

What the dragon doing?

It's common knowledge that the gods who descended upon Darna were actually dragons. You hear it from Lewyn(?) near the end of the game. Tiki also tells us the same in FEH:

""Naga, god of light, appears as a young girl, and Salamander, god of fire, takes the form of an old man...," Hehe, they certainly sound familiar."

This got me thinking. What are the names of the other dragons? What type of dragons are they? What did they appear as in front of the crusaders?

Tribes

Let's first look at the information we have. What dragon tribes are there in the Archanea/Jugdral world?

Divine (nearly extinct)

Fire

Ice

Flying (wyvern)

Mage

Earth (only Medeus left)

Sea

Theory time

Okay, with all of that information and my crazy imagination, I have come up with a theory! You'll be able to tell that I'm slowly getting more and more clueless as time goes on.

Here we go!

Holy weapon - Crusader - Dragon - Tribe - Disguise

Book of Naga - Heim - Naga - Divine Dragon - Young girl (Tiki)

Valflame - Fjalar - Salamander - Fire Dragon - Elderly man (Bantu)

Book of Forseti - Ced - Forseti - Divine Dragon - Young man (Xane)

Mjölnir - Thrud - Thor - Mage- or Divine Dragon - Wise sage (Gotoh)

Tyrfing - Baldr - Tyr - Divine Dragon - Knight (who the fuck)

Mystletainn - Hoðr - Basilisk - Mage Dragon - Knight (Camus)

Balmung - Od - Odin - Divine Dragon - Swordsman (Navarre)

Gáe Bolg - Njörun - Ethnia - Earth- or Divine Dragon - Knight (Minerva)

Gungnir - Dáinn - Odin.. 2? - Divine Dragon - Knight (Michalis)

Yewfelle - Ullr - Sif or Eyvel - Divine Dragon - Archer (Jeorge)

Helswath - Nál? - Divine Dragon - ???

Valkyrie Staff - Bragi - Valkyrie - Divine Dragon - Old man (Wrys)

Book of Naga

Self-explanatory. She appears as a young girl and is supposed to represent Tiki.

Valflame

I believe Salamander to be a Fire Dragon simply because he's supposed to the Bantu to Naga's Tiki. And his weapon is a powerful fire spell.

There is a deleted line in one of Marth's older games where a fire dragon says something about sacrificing the cast to Salamander. It makes me think that Salamander is the ruler of the Fire Dragons, like how Naga is the ruler of the Divine Dragons.

Book of Forseti

This is where it gets a little rough. I want to call Forseti a Wind Dragon, but we don't know of any Wind Tribe in Archanea. Flying Dragon also doesn't work because those are wyverns and wyverns aren't exactly sentient anymore.

The thing that makes sense to me would be a Divine Dragon. I've also seen a theory of him being an Ice Dragon. Have you heard of the theory saying that Forseti is Tiki's father? Something about him possibly being an Ice Dragon and young Tiki having ice breath instead of flame breath.

I believe that Forseti appeared as a young man, more specifically, Xane. Think about it. Naga is supposed to be Tiki and Salamander is supposed to be Bantu. Forseti appearing as another one of the four divine dragons seems fitting. It's another reason why I think Divine Dragon would fit him best in that scenario.

Now, I'm not trying to say that Forseti IS Xane. He's clearly not. Archanea also happens about a thousand years after Jugdral's events. I just think it would be a fun easter egg to try and tie each disguise to at least one Archanean character.

Mjölnir

Thor being the name of the dragon who made mjölnir seems quite obvious. You might say that FEH already stole that name, but their god of war is actually called Thorr. TOTALLY different!

I'm a little torn on what tribe they might belong to. Mage dragon? Possible. That tome is all about magic, and there is nothing saying that Divine Dragons are fantastic at thunder magic. Besides, Divine Dragons are supposed to be nearly extinct. A bunch of them popping up at Darna would be kinda going against that, no?

What about the disguise? Thor probably appeared as a wise sage, like Gotoh, to complete the rest of the tome dragon disguises. Gotoh is a Divine Dragon, so maybe Thor is also a Divine Dragon?

I don't know!

Tyrfing

Tyrfing. Finger of Tyr, the god of war, in Norse mythology. It's kind of clear when you look at it that way.

Baldr and Tyrfing are associated with light, much like Naga is, so I believe that Tyr was a Divine Dragon.

Why do I say they appeared as a knight? Look at this art made by Suzuki Rika:

You got Naga as a young girl and Salamander as the old guy in robes- Wait, hol' up a second

WHO IS YOU?

That's like.. a roman helmet or something. Yeah, I think that's supposed to be Tyr in disguise.

What do you mean it's not official art?

Mystletainn

Did you know that the Mage Dragon tribe is most likely called Basilisk? It wouldn't be a huge stretch so say that their ruler shares a name with the tribe.

"Kee hee hee… So, Marth! You've come crawling back to your homeland… just to die! I am Lord Medeus's most formidable servant… Morzas of Basilisk!"

Disguise is.. uhh.. I don't know. I don't know of any Dark Knight from Archanea. Maybe Camus? He's technically a villain.

Actually, Camus would work quite well. Eldigan's whole thing is that he pulls a Camus.

Balmung

I'll be honest. I just thought that it would be funny if Odin gave Od a weapon.

Divine Dragon, because the family's special skill is Astra. Astra is associated with the stars and heavens, something that fits best for a Divine Dragon.

Disguise is Navarre because he's also an edgy swordsman!

Gáe Bolg

Leif says that the Earth Goddess of Thracia is called Ethnia. Gáe Bolg is the Earth Lance.

Why am I not so sure if Ethnia is an Earth Dragon or Divine Dragon? Simple. The Earth Dragons are supposed to be all but wiped out, with Medeus being the only one who is still alive. It would work so well if Ethnia was an Earth Dragon, what with all the titles and such, but the lore just doesn't want to agree. I'm not sure which one she is, so.. pick one.

Minerva is the disguise. Why? I don't know. I can't think of anyone else.

Gungnir

...Gungnir is Odin's spear in Norse Mythology. Ah, fuck.

"Gungnir and Gáe Bolg were probably made by Duma and Mila-" NO! They were banished long before the events of Jugdral. Naga isn't gonna hop back over there and be like "I know I banished you guys and gave you my fang to kill yourself, but mind coming back to help out?"

...Ignoring the possible name. Gungnir is the heavenly lance, which would put it right in place with the Divine Dragon tribe. This is also part of the reason why I think it would make sense if Ethnia was an Earth Dragon. Heaven and Earth. Divine and Earth.

What about the disguise? If Ethnia disguised herself as Minerva, then it only makes sense that Gungnir would disguise himself as Michalis! Sibling lances and all that, you know?

Yewfelle

Sif is a norse goddess who is the mother of Ullr. She is also known for her glorious golden locks. Interesting that Yewfelle is made out of 24-karat gold, and that the Ullr line have luscious golden hair. Foolproof evidence right there.

There is also the theory of her name being Eyvel. We know that Brigid was saved by her patron dragon. Maybe Brigid lost all of her memories except the name of the dragon who saved her? Questions... questions...

Tribe? Most likely Divine.

With how I'm trying to assign each disguise to a random Archanean character, let's put Sif/Eyvel with... Jeorge.

Helswath

...I don't have a name for this dragon.

BUT! Helswath is actually called "Swanchika" in Japanese, which sounds a lot like "Swastika". The swastika in Hinduism and Buddhism is actually seen as a symbol for fortune and divinity. I guess a holy symbol would work with the Divine Dragons?

I am aware of what the swastika was also used for, but I don't think that's what Kaga had in mind. At least, I hope he didn't.

I believe that their disguise was the lady of the lake who gave Lex the brave axe. Lex does call her a goddess in FEH. Then again, you'd think Lex would recognize the god of his house. Maybe they appeared as someone else at Darna... like... Barst!

I know, it's not very convincing, but it will have to do.

Valkyrie Staff

I remember reading a novel where the dragon who created the Valkyrie Staff was called... Valkyrie. And they also appeared as an old man. Who does that remind you of? That's right! WRRYYYYSSS!

Now, this novel isn't official or anything, but I think it's funny, so I'm rolling with it. Oh, and Divine Dragon would fit them best with the whole reviving people and light stuff.

And now we wait...

...for the FE4 Remake to confirm/debunk this theory or just not answer anything about the dragons! Let's fucking goooooo!!
