jojo x buttons is underrated, anyways, ANGST.

TW: Nightmares, Past-Abuse

JoJo still remembered his family. Sure, he was dropped off at the convent when he was only 11 years of age, but things said and done to him before that time would stick with him forever.

It always hits him at night. Random nightmares would strike him out of nowhere and in the most inconvenient of times in his opinion.

This night was especially bad.

His brain seemed to have brought him right back to the afternoon it happened. He was only 9 at the time and had been sitting at the kitchen table. His mother and father were fighting in front of him and didn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.

They were screaming at each other, a bottle in his mother's hand that she was swinging around as she fought. Something about finances and taxes, he didn't totally understand at his young age.

It was when his father went to hit his mother when JoJo started to cry, standing up and yelling at them both to stop. This would prove to be a bad idea when suddenly a glass bottle was thrown in his direction.

He narrowly dodged it, the glass shattering behind him, leaving him near enough paralysed with fear.

His father started walking in his direction, but he was unable to run away or fight back, he just stood there.

"Josephino, what'd I say about trying to intervene in grown-up conversations?" His father inquired.

JoJo tried to speak, but no words came out. He couldn't respond to his father no matter how much his brain was yelling at him to.

"Josephino, answer me!" He shouted. "Joseph. Josephino, are you listening?"

"Josephino, listen to me!"

"JoJo?"

"Joseph Andrew De La Guerra, answer me before I make you answer me."

"JoJo, you're okay, just slow down for a second."

JoJo shot up from his side of the bed, grabbing onto the blanket as tight as his hands could. His head was spinning, and his breathing was although he'd just ran a marathon.

When a hand was suddenly placed on his back, he nearly fell off the bed trying to move away.

"Hey, Jo, it's just me. It's Buttons, okay? I'm right here." Buttons whispered, moving in front of him. "It was just a dream honey, it wasn't real."

JoJo crawled into Buttons embrace, wrapping his arms around his shoulders tightly, as if he was his final lifeline.

"No, Buttons, he was- he was right in front of me, and he was gonna- he was gonna hurt me again, the same way he did to mom and- look, I promise I'll behave-" JoJo stuttered, the memory replaying in his mind again.

"It's over now, you're safe, I gotcha now." Buttons hushed, brushing his hands up and down JoJos back. "Take a breath, just slow down for a second, okay?"

JoJo took a deep breath, calming his heart rate as much as he could. Buttons ran his fingers through his hair, spinning a strand around his finger.

"You have these a lot, don't you? Nightmares about your parents?" Buttons asked quietly, not wanting to frighten him more.

"Mm." JoJo whined. "It's the same thing over and over, it's always that same evening again and again."

"But it's over now. And I hope you know that I will be right here anytime it happens to help you afterwards." Buttons said calmly.

JoJo smiled into his shoulder, manoeuvring himself to be a little more comfortable in his arms. Buttons ended up pulling him back down under the blanket again, but still holding a tight grasp around JoJo as he did.

"They can't hurt you now. You got the nuns, you got Jack, you got Race and Albert... you got me. And we won't let them ever touch you again." Buttons uttered, smiling slightly as he did.

"Thank you, Buttons." JoJo replied, grabbing onto his hand.

"Anytime Jo. Now go to bed, it's still 2am."

ok everybody block dnp on all socials they have eyes everywhere. they know way to much. those omniscient fuckers are always watching. no one is safe.

like what do you MEAN you know about those stupid “real voice” compilations and people absolutely clowning about jumpcuts and smudged whiskers and what do you MEAN you’re aware of those 2009 phan theories people still debate to this day? what happened to “i don’t check my indirects” “i don’t go on the tags”?? i bet you’re lurking RIGHT NOW reading this very post. all men do is lie. can’t trust anyone 😤😪

yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.

to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!

i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.

also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.

they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.

they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.

i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.

#eve text #elmike #stranger things #byler #only tagging byler because i feel like yall will like this take lol #tagging tagging tagging WHAT ARE EVERYONE ELSE'S THOUGHTS #god i can't believe i'm making a post about stranger things. this feels like poking a bear #i'm not particularly anti m*leven but like... they'd have to do something pretty special at this point for me to feel like it's viable #i'm seeing the bts of s5 and it's got me Having Thoughts #elmike friendship is something i am so passionate about #even before i ever liked byler (didn't ship at all until s4 even though i knew it was a thing before) i've felt this way about elmike #i always believed they were close friends at heart and needed to break up #the romance part of them felt very distinctly young and very much “he was a boy she was a girl” to me #and it hasn't deepened into anything more mature and i don't see how it could based on the current state of the writing... #the fact that lumax exists — a young relationship that is actively maturing and is healthy — makes that clear to me #and the “love confession” in s4 and how disingenuous and miserable it felt was just the nail in the coffin #also the fact that will (who is IN LOVE with mike) was instrumental in making it happen? ... uh... okay... interesting choice… #fucked up and reductive if they make it another queer unrequited love sacrifice for the sake of pushing the heterosexual agenda YUCK #so i really hope the speculation about a m*leven breakup is real!! i think it just makes sense for their characters but who knows #i don't believe in the notion of love at first sight or one true love and i think the writers don't too??? #love to me is an accumulation of experiences and we inevitably choose it at some point rather than fall into it... but idk #tv is so fixated on keeping couples together... sometimes it's just not reality guys especially with young people... LET IT GO... #like i said though i'm not 100% sold that they're going to give up their “golden couple” LMAO #stranger things hasn't historically subverted too many tropes if i'm being honest #anyway i seriously need this season to come out quickly... i'm so bored and getting my master's is crushing my soul #i need frivolity #ALSO btw i won't respond to hateful messages about this so please don't bother. it's not that serious. this is a netflix show

hear me out kitchen scene is literally going to be eddie going over to buck's to let him know him and marisol broke up and hes going to be like lmao guess we're both single now still want to go go karting 🤪🥰🥳!! and bucks going to be like... about that...

@chronicowboy and I were literally discussing this exact scenario a week ago (minus eddisol break up lmao) but legitimately. legitimately I think there is a very very high chance of this happening. specifically a callback to the go karting and eddie trying to make time for buck only for buck to be like oh. I actually have plans. with tommy. and coming out to eddie

#do yall actually remember me saying i was getting the strongest urge to figure out how to write a fic cause i had a very specific scenario #in mind #it was literally this lmao #it was before we knew the kitchen scene stills were from 705 so i actually thought buck would apologize to tommy before the end of the #episode and tommy would ask him to dinner (NO chin grabbing in my scenario they were leaving room for jesus) #and then eddie would come over and be like okay talk to me. and when buck admits he's felt sidelined and jealous he would apologize and try #to make up for it with the go karting rain check #and then buck says he has a date with tommy blah blah blah #sorry i blacked out remembering how different everything is from last week and how it somehow turned out to equal the most delusional spec #we could ever make #crazy. Crazy #911 spoilers #weewoo brainrot

Ok but can we talk about the absolute horror of being watched and monitored 24/7 that the ancients must have had. The citizenship drones being like an Alexa that's constantly following and listening to you (except it's five pebbles and not Alexa lmao). The fucking OVERSEERS. THEY'RE CALLED THAT FOR A REASON. BECAUSE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING THEIR CITIZENS AS WELL AS THE ENVIRONMENT ALL THE TIME. (I would talk about the fact that they all show arti fucking ads as well but honestly idk what else to say about that. Capitalism got yet another society 😔). That's some fucking nightmare fuel dystopian society settings we are being hinted at. You know the Big Brother Is Watching You thing. The book. Yeah that's what it reminds me of.

The Iterator Is Watching You.

#imagine not being able to escape being watched any second of your life #imagine being one of the first ancients who saw an iterator come into being #imagine being one of the first ancients who had to go live on top of them #imagine being one of the first amcients to be constantly scrutinized by the overseers #i bet they knew this wasn't really a good thing #no matter how religious they were. by the time of pebbles though they were far too religiously indoctrinated to realize this was bad #(as a society i mean. theres always some who disagree and figure out what's going on) #disclaimer i have never read the book i am talking about and only know it through references and pop culture. still tho yk what i mean #rain world #rainworld #rain world iterator #rw iterator #iterator #rw five pebbles #five pebbles #im tagging him too even tho hes only mentioned i wanna reach more ppl with this #pls i may not have said everything i wanted to say cause i cant get my thoughts straight rn but i want to hear what yall think about this #agh the whole situation is so fucked imagine being the Big Brother in this and not even having a choice in it. #imagine that everyone with critical thinking knows this and cant do anything about it. #not even mentioning the cataclysmic level rain the iterators brought. like dude who thought this was a good idea. #imagine all this + the end of the world and its ecosystem as you know it happening right before your eyes #and you cant even blame the person at fault that much bc they were literally fucking born into this #rw overseer #forgot this one #rw ancients

I dont usually write posts about critical role but this episode did things to me and I have to talk about it right now right now right now don't mind me just yelling into the ether for a minute

the last half hour of ep77 just made me love Ashton (really everyone) so much more. They're being an INCONSIDERATE DICKSHIT and a HYPOCRITE with a MARTYR COMPLEX who makes HORRIBLE DECISIONS yesss gimme the complicated relationship dynamics and the morally gray moments AND THE ANGST. There's gonna be some good ass roleplay moments from this I feel it in my bones and it's gonna be DELICIOUS. Hey ashton greymoore my beloved shithead what is wrong with you <3

And it was such a sweet thing to look at Ashley Johnson/fearne and say "I see you don't want the shard and I want you to keep your characters agency I will take it" but then they were a fuckhead about it!!! Literally did a nice thing in the most fucked up way possible that it circled around to being terrible. I love that!!! Say what you will about this episode but by god is it entertaining. I ship callowmoore even more now that they have shit to work through. I love complicated relationships in fiction I am living!!!!

(i genuinely didn't like the very real tension at the table and had to skip it on Thursday night but! Im excited anyways!!! I'm having the time of my life)

Anyway <3 i love this show thanks for reading

#writing this partly because i knew immediately after watching there would be disk horse. i dont know about yall but im having a blast #like i totally understand that so many people are very attached to these characters and we want the best for them #i feel that way too. but im also seeing posts from people genuinely so mad at not only ashton but taliesin jaffe as well?? #I understand if youre upset about what they did but!!! so much Good Shit is gonna come out of this #good roleplay moments and angst and weird mechanics and its gonna impact the plot on the moon and angst and changes in character dynamics #and angst. #critical role #cr spoilers #critical role spoilers #critrole spoilers #ashton greymoore #fearne calloway #callowmoore #cr3 ep77 #ep77 #i will admit that if ashton had died i would've definitely been so upset and mad i wont lie. like im not gonna pretend i wouldve accepted it #but still. i respect everyone at the table too much to genuinely be upset with any of them for their character decisions #y'know

I wish Julian and Martok would interact more cause I think they could have the funniest possible dynamic. they spent 5 weeks together in a Jem'Hadar prison I just know they have a friendship that looks fucking INSANE from the outside looking in

#star trek: ds9 #julian bashir #martok #Martok: we are like blood brothers. we suffered the horrors of the Jem'Hadar together. our bond is unshakeable #Julian: in other words we're besties <3 #Julian is the only doctor Martok will listen to and even then he only listens to him like 50% of the time #he'll ignore whatever Julian says right up until Julian gets right into his face and starts ordering him cause he's HAD IT #and then Martok laughs heartily and goes 'MAY YOUR SPIRIT NEVER BE TARNISHED DOCTOR' #and he slaps Julian on the back so hard he knocks him over #they get drunk on blood wine and belt out Klingon operas until Quark gets Odo to throw them both out of the bar #they'll occasionally talk about their prison time and everybody around them who can hear them is. so very concerned #Julian: what was my record for shortest time between solitary confinements. less than a minute? #Martok: yes they took you out and you spat at them and they threw you back in. that was the moment I knew you had the soul of a Klingon #Julian: aw <3 #Jake sitting three seats away: YALL GOOD? #Julian joins a Klingon mission with Martok and when they come back he's dishevelled and high on painkillers and Martok is carrying him #Julian: hi :) I got blown up #Martok: he was wounded in GLORIOUS BATTLE he did his ancestors proud #like hear me out. theyre besties #and its fucking hysterical
