they  stumbled  over  their  feet  as  they  turned  on  the  hallway,  her  hand  finding  the  other  to  balance  herself  on  “  oh  my  god,  i’m  so  sorry.  i  promise  i’m  not  that  drunk.  ”  they  joke  “  just  these  shoes  are  new  and  i’m  not  the  best  at  walking  to  start  with.  ”  she  chuckles.

“not taking whiffs of your breath if you’re breathing with your mouth wide open,” she shoots back, easily rolling her eyes at him in a playful sense. “they have soda, but not coffee?” that was definitely odd, but she wasn’t going to mention it as she leans back in her chair, rising a brow at the other’s words. “you do realize that kissing on screen is a lot different than kissing in real life, right?” shayla inquires, unsure if he was taught that it had to be the perfect angel captured on screen. fingers wraps around the bottle of soda, placing it in her cup holder before turning back to him. “yeah, i’m exhausted. i’m ready to wrap for the night,” she admits and just on cue, the female began to yawn. which wasn’t typical behavior for her, maybe she was just exhausted from wandering around majority of the day. “remind me to go out and buy packets of instant coffee whenever we’re shooting at night.”

"ugh, now you're taking whiffs of my breath or something. you're so obsessed with me." a pause. "i don't know if they have coffee right now, but i can probably find some soda. the people here are kinda obsessed with soda." he says, "well, i'm not an amateur at kissing, i can tell you that." immediately, they add, "that means we can get it done quickly. don't get too excited." he takes a moment to find a bottle of soda for himself, coming back with an extra one. "uh, you want some? i'll just drink both if you don't." teddy's in their nice era, okay? "you ready?" not that the shooting schedule is really up to them. but he feels the need to ask it anyway, probably because he's kinda anxious himself.

sliding in through the back door, she surprises her father and brother with her presences. "hey! guess who's back from college?" she announces, grinning brightly. who she didn't expect to be among her family was her brother's best friend -- the one that she always had a crush on. a soft smile forms across her lips, "i didn't expect to see you here. family kick you out for the summer or something?" shayla teases, chuckles falling from her lips.

Okay wait I’m curious as to who actually cares and wants me to finish the wwc Comic Adaption. And even more curious if anyone has my post notifications on or frequently check my blog for updates. Because if any of these are the case, I will start updating weekly. I dead ass had no idea people cared about the comic I thought that the algorithm liked to give it reach because it was a silly comic… but if there a some recurring people… then I might start taking it a little more seriously. BUT I’ve noticed people are a little bit demanding, if you want me to update it more often, then interact with me and tell me what you like about it to motivate me.. don’t demand me 😭 be like “ohhh Shayla your comic makes me happy!” Instead of “ME WANT COMIC NOW 🤬🤬🤬”

But yeah starting from this weekend I’ll start trying to post weekly / fortnightly if y’all actually want me to

I know I haven't posted in months but here is your periodic reminder that during Tyrell and Elliot's first meeting, Elliot's actions in order are:

--Willingly shake hands like it's not a big deal --Smile --Glance up and down Tyrell's body --Bite his lower lip --Stare while blinking a lot --Be impressed by Tyrell's tech knowledge --Also please note that at no point during this interaction with Tyrell did Elliot's internal monologue take over. He didn't even look away from Tyrell for the entire conversation. That is not normal Elliot behavior lbr.

And Elliot's actions just after meeting Tyrell were, in order:

--Contemplating his dream of making the world a better place for everyone. Why? This could be interpreted as Elliot recognizing the increased challenge involved in saving the world if it were run by people who know what they're doing like Tyrell, like he's recognizing a worthy opponent. My enemies to lovers heart enjoys this interpretation. --Going home and being overcome by a crying bout over how lonely he is, something that happens every few weeks or so but not every day; why today, Elliot? --Has grudging, drug-induced sex with Shayla. We see this man have sex a total of twice, and the other time is strategic. There is nothing on earth that can stop me from believing that Elliot was thinking about Tyrell's little waistcoat while he had sex with Shayla.

In addition, please recall that moments before Tyrell introduces himself by offering a hand to shake but not forcing it on Elliot, Ollie forced physical contact Elliot didn't want. The contrast is obvious.

naomi was content having the male in her arms -- forgetting about the blonde that was trying to steal his attention away from her. how could she focus on anything else when their bodies were pushed up against one another, hand wrapping around her neck ; wanting to pull him up the stairs and take care of his growing bulge. but before the two could escape up the stairs, she felt liquid dripping from her clothing. a gasp escapes her lips, eyeing the blonde. "oh, it's no problem.. i'm sure rafe got something for me to borrow, right?" brow quirks up at the male, smirk forming across her lips as she takes off the soaked dressed, leaving her in her matching lacy bra and panties. "wanna finish what we started upstairs?" she inquires, fingers intertwining with his to pull his body closer towards hers.

shayla never expected to go for rafe especially since her best friend at the time was going for him, but her ego and jealousy got the best of her. was she breaking girl code? yes, most definitely but at the time that had been the last thing on her mind. naomi had the looks to pull any guy she wanted but it always seemed to be any guy that the blonde showed just a little interest in. the fury flamed inside her as she stopped her movements on the table, watching the two sucking faces just feet in front of her. stepping down from the table, taking quick strides towards the couple, she had reached out to grab someone's drink from them. an evil plan in mind as she got closer to the two, acting as if she tripped over something. she tipped the cup, splashing the contents all over her and barely hitting rafe. "oh my gosh, i'm so sorry. i'm such a clutz—i tripped."

rafe had completely forgotten about the blonde that he was watching dancing just mere seconds ago; his whole focus was on the beautiful brunette who was all over him. the male gripped her hips, pulling her body closer to him, before trailing one of his hands up her body and wrapping his hand around her neck, his thumb brushing along her jawline. feeling the femme's hand brush against his bulge, he felt himself shutter at the touch but before he could even do anything about it, he felt droplets of liquid hit his skin. pulling away from her in a rush, his eyes met the blondes, and she held an empty solo cup in hand. his eyes glanced over at naomi, seeing her clothes dripping from whatever contents were held in the cup shayla had.

There’s an interaction I had with one of our sound technicians when I was working on a production of the Little mermaid musical a few years ago, and it has not left my mind ever since. And now I can’t stop thinking about it happening with Tech.

Tech: shayla, come here, I need to change your batteries.

me: *Blinking Uncomprehendingly bc it’s the middle of tech week and I’m exhausted* ... what?

Tech: *Gentle sigh* your mic pack batteries

me: Oo... gotcha

MR. ROBOT REWATCH, 1x01: "eps1.0_hellofriend.mov"

-Elliot: "Hello friend." That line is so iconic and so it begins.

-"I did not hurt anyone." You're selling child pornography, dude. What do you mean you didn't hurt anyone?!

-Elliot, I don't he cares about your dad dying, unless you're not gonna turn him in.

-What an opening to the show and introduction to Elliot's character.

-Oh my God, I forgot how annoying Angela's boyfriend is.

-I love Elliot's monologue that he says in his therapist office.

-Bro, Elliot doesn't like you. Please go away.

-Tyrell! I forgot he was introduced in the first episode.

-That first interaction between Elliot and Tyrell is so weird. I can't remember if Tyrell is already working with Elliot.

-Shayla, my love!!

-First mention of fsociety.

-Gideon: "Did you know I'm gay?" Gideon, I don't know if this is the right time to just come out to your coworker.

-The first interaction between Elliot and Mr. Robot.

-Don't be mean to Shayla just because you forgot there was a possibility she would still be in your bed. Also, who cares if Angela sees?

-This interaction between Elliot and Darlene is so interesting when you already know they're brother and sister. Like how does Darlene not realize something is wrong with him?

-I love this scene between Rami and Christian on the farris wheel.

-I love how Colby kicking Angela out of the meeting made Elliot do what Mr. Robot asked him to do.

-I love that Elliot takes Flipper away from that dickhead.

-This shot of Elliot looking so happy in Times Square is so iconic.

-Elliot: "Please tell me you're seeing this too." Another iconic moment and I love that Rami Malek said that when he won his Emmy.

“nope.. must mean that you’re pretty forgettable, hm?” shayla’s confidence in her voice almost made her believe that.. but her wondering mind tells her otherwise as she remembers just how well he treated her in bed. how they would go for hours in one sitting, taking their time with one another. “maybe you remember it clearly because it’s running in your mind all the time.” heat from his touches instantly felt like her skin was on fire as she holds her gaze upon him, trying her best to not let him get to her. “what part of i’m with your brother now don’t you understand?” shayla huffs, although she knew she was guilty of enjoying the hard-on she gives him, mind wondering if she’s still able to please him the way he likes.

"oh you don't recall? hmm..." kaleb hummed as he just nodded his head at her; he knew damn well she remembered everything that they did. those nights weren't forgettable; it was impossible to forget them. "bullshit. i know damn well you remember them." his fingers lingered on her skin before he dropped his hand to his side. if he had his way, he wouldn't have dropped his hands—maybe even moved them to her neck. "why not? don't you like it when i get a boner? didn't that just turn you on?"

[augment-techs]

FINALLY finished Wild Force and, really, Disc 5 was the best disc.

I am honestly SO okay that Merrick got dumped by Shayla and ended up wandering the earth, hooking up with Zen-Aku as an end to their story. She's a professional virgin and he's a bisexual furry. This...fits. Even if Zen-Aku appearing doesn't make a lot of sense.

DANNY X MAX CONFIRMED GAY!! No way you travel the world, probably constantly riding coach, with "just a friend" at this age after saving the world. Also, the picture they took in robes was...kind of telling (the size difference is truly unreal).

Yaaay, Cole got a dog and Taylor got her Eagle Zord. A perfect peace out for these two if there ever was. And no heteronormative romance entanglements in sight!

Alyssa becoming a teacher of small children feels like a cop-out. But damn she fine.

Yes, I cheered for the death of Kite/Animus much like Bret Easton Ellis cheered for the death of J.D. Salinger. And I am not ashamed.

Forever Red!!! FOREVER RED. But especially seeing my favorite duo in the beginning of the episode with Tommy getting ROASTED at the end of it. No I do not care about the Machine Empire or Serpentera, just Reds interacting and trying to one-up other Reds. Still mad about no Rocky, but you can't have everything. *kisses T.J., Carter, Wes, Eric, and Leo on the head* babiiiiiies~

Jindrax being wholesome even while trying to be an actual Org was so endearing I think he's on par with a kitten. He did good deeds, he protected the princess, he slept in garbage, he actually paid for his fishing gear, he rolled off a hill after using another monster as bait, HE PRINCESS CARRIED TOXICA. Jindrax is valid and deserves rights.

Jindrax and Toxica helped the Rangers in the most badass way and they literally ended their character arc WALKING OFF INTO THE SUNSET TOGETHER. Best kind of redemption. I sincerely hope they happily settled down to watch Rangers further down the line just to endlessly be bitchy and heckle them.

There is so much to pick apart from this series, but mostly I am contented by three things: redeemed villain duo, weird bait and switch furry Enemies to Whatever, and Blue/Black Ranger besties that allows me to drag out wholesome tropes for future fic ideas.

I apologize for keep bothering you about our au crossovers but I have too many thoughts and want to know

How do you think Shayla would interact with Yoshimochi and Tara with Akiharu?

You don't need to apologize, I love this silly little crossover that's been going on

For one I already know Tara would get so annoyed with Akiharu. Tara is the tired braincell holder of her team and she already has to deal with the shenanigans of the next gen ninja so right off the bat she would probably get into some arguments with Akiharu. But afterwards, I could see them actually getting along for the most part. I think it would be neat for Tara to learn about Akiharu marrying the Queen of the Departed. And you know, Tara's girlfriend is an anacondrai/djinn hybrid so she'd probably think marrying the Queen of the Departed is pretty cool.

Sadly, I do not have as many thoughts on Shayla and Yoshimochi. I feel like they'd probably get along better than Tara and Akiharu, but I can also picture Shayla hearing about pretty much any of the crazy things that the First Elemental Masters went through and that would just spike her anxiety. Maybe Yoshimochi would mention how Shayla doesn't have to deal with the life of a noble and how she has a much more quaint life, and Shayla would respond with something like, "Yeah, but I still have to deal with fighting bad guys and saving the world all the time."

At the very least, Shayla and Yoshimochi can have discussions on what color lightning is supposed to be lol

"it's just a little bit of weed, not that bad! i don't know why you're lecturing me, it calms me down when i'm feeling stressed."

[angelsdvsts]

"and you've been keeping this from me... why?" well, of course she could assume the reason -- because it was supposed to be a secret, because she wants to protect her.. but leaving her in the dark isn't protecting her. a sigh falls from her lips, unsure how she ended up so wrapped up in the other -- it came fast and out of nowhere and now she can't even imagine a life without her. "and what if i say that i don't care about any of that? that i still want you in my life regardless of the risks?"

"yes..." could she elaborate? yes. should she? she wasn't sure. this was uncharted territory, she'd never told anyone outside of the secret world what she did. mainly because it was too risky but also because most people believed that spies were just in the movies. some made-up fantasy characters, not something that could exist in the real world. "it should be... i don't want it to be but i can't drag you into my world and have you become a target," it was why she rarely dated in general, let alone outside of her inner circle of colleagues. something about shayla had gotten under her skin, causing the femme to make moves she typically wouldn't and let her guard down but now... it was getting too serious and she knew things going past this point would only end in disaster.
