#...i think i liked xander too...

[kaizokuseb]

buffy the vampire slayer is a show about a badass young woman doing everything right while the people around her act like she needs to walk on eggshells to protect their fragile little egos and also save their lives on the daily

[camellcat]

in the the bandillow au that I live in I think spuffy would quietly bond over the fact that they still belong to the ones who brought them back from the dead. gave them new existence. spike is dru's, a little bit forever in some sense, just as buffy is shaped by willow and xander. spuffy are bound, and they can pull on their leashes, but they don't even really want to be freed. if they realize that's an option at all in the first place

[rorykillmore]

definitely had this standing archetype in my head that cordelia chase was "the mean girl" while on btvs and learned better on ats but rewatching it today i'm honestly like. from season 2 onwards really her main fault is "says rude/tactless things sometimes, largely played for laughs" whereas nearly every other character is so deeply mean to her in a way that is wholly meanspirited and uncalled for. what the hell lol.

Forbidden Fruit

A Grayson Hawthorne x oc fic

Warnings/notes (regarding the whole fic) : slight cursing, sexual innuendos, no smut, MLM, friends to enemies to lovers, might be a lil ooc (forgive me first fic ever if you dont count 'Wine and Woes'), i also changed Cassian to a human instead of a faerie, also, it's gonna be a little slow, please bear with me.

(please heed that this only a work of fiction, so do not be influenced by it, and for the love of God don't do anything that's happening in this fic.)

(trespassing is not a light matter, especially when you're breaking into a multi-billionaire's house. Doing this will have its consequences 🙏💀)

Word count: Idk man, lots of words here 💀

Summary: Grayson Hawthorne had always wanted to be like his grandfather. He had never been in the business of making friends, until he meets someone who is going to turn his life upside down, and possibly make his brain short circuit

Prologue

Part 1

"your ego is bigger than Jupiter itself. Your IQ on the other hand, is the complete opposite"

"i know you ain't talking like that when you don't know what basic slang is, blondie"

"i prefer doing more productive things than spending all my time on such uselessly mind-consuming pieces of media"

"........ This is why you have no friends and no bitches"

"i have you." Grayson smiled, something he rarely did "maybe that's all I need."

Pre-Timeskip

Grayson Hawthorne was not in the business of making friends, much like his grandfather, Tobias Hawthorne. Even though he was only 13 years old, he relied on himself, he did not ask for help. Grayson knew he was extraordinary, his grandfather had made sure he knew.

He was prepared for every possible outcome in every possible situation. Or so he thought, until he was face to face with a rather unusual looking boy

Unusual in the sense that the boy was wearing muddy overalls, his fluffy brown hair had leaves and twigs stuck in it. His smile is too big, too bright, much like the sun shining overhead. Grayson's eyes trail down the short boy's appearance, hes holding his hands out to Grayson, holding two red geraniums in them. The geraniums are muddy too. Grayson's face scrunches up looking at the filth.

"Who are you?" Grayson glares at the boy "And how did you get in here?"

For anyone else, Grayson's glare would have been terrifying. His silver eyes making them uncomfortable in their own skin. But this boy? He kept grinning, and holding out his flowers. The audacity he had to ruin Grayson's peaceful garden time agitated Grayson.

"My name is Cassian!" Cassian smiles brightly "Whats yours?"

Grayson did not want to answer, this boy's innocence was.....annoying, but he did so out of politeness, and perhaps the hope that maybe this boy would leave if he knew who he was talking to was far superior.

"Grayson" Grayson introduced himself "My name is Grayson Hawthorne."

Grayson did not see any flash of recognition in the boy's midnight blue eyes. That agitated him more. First, this boy had the audacity to interrupt his peaceful garden time, Now, he didn't even know who Grayson was?!

"Woah! You have a cool name! Grayson. Gray, like your eyes" he says in awe, as if he had never seen gray eyes before

What was Grayson even supposed to say to that? Grayson frowns at Cassian. Hoping that maybe he'll see the obvious annoyance and leave. But Grayson's hopes were nothing if not futile, because Cassian just smiles at him.

Instead, he just tells him something Grayson does not want to know

"My last name is Moonbeam!" he smiles

Cassian Moonbeam? What a ridiculous name..... Grayson thought

It was also not a name Grayson recognised, so one, this boy was not from a prominent family, and two, he was not a worker's son. Since those children never approached Grayson, knowing who he is.

"You do realize that you're trespassing, right?" Grayson raises an eyebrow, looking down his nose at the boy

Cassian cocks his head to the side a little "Trespassing?" he says, expression neutral "but there's only one of me, wouldnt that make it unopassing?" he grins

This boy..... Grayson's mind comes up with a few rude words, but he decides to keep them to himself.

Instead, he calmly says "That wasn't funny"

"it wasn't meant to be."

"How did you get in here?"

"i slid through the tall border thingy" Cassian points at the tall border that separated the woods from the estate. Grayson's eyes slid from the metal border back to Cassian

"And no one saw you? Not even one of the guards? And how in the world did you manage to slip through the gap?!"

"oh. Um. Well, i kinda watched the guards routine a lot, so I slipped in when they were away." Cassian grins "And it's not that small of a gap. Plus, I'm small and lean"

Grayson was so done with this kid and this whole conversation. He wanted this boy gone

He sighs and states "Trespassing, especially onto the Hawthorne estate, is a crime"

Cassian's grin disappears and he cocks his head to the side "Crime? Are you saying the police are gonna arrest me?"

"im saying they can if they are notified"

"Then let's not tell them." Cassian slightly juts out his lower lip

Grayson was appalled. Things like this should be notified. So no one else creeps onto the territory. Tobias Hawthorne was a man whose head multiple people wanted. Grayson didnt know who those people were or why, but he knew that with power, came risk.

"Are you seriously telling me I shouldn't tell someone that someone trespassed onto the territory?!"

Cassian shrugs and Grayson wants to strangle him, instead, he sighs exasperatedly

"How old are you?"

"11. Why?"

"Doesn't that explain so many things" Grayson says sarcastically and rolls his eyes

"What does that mean!?"

"Nothing you should be concerned about considering the situation you're in. How do you even plan to get out of here?"

Cassian looks a little confused "Huh? What do you mean? I'll just go back out the same way I came in"

Grayson scoffs "Thats not what I meant. Now, hypothetically, I don't tell on you, but do you really expect to just leave without a scratch? One of the guards could see you as you're trying to get out. Fate isn't in your hands"

Cassian pauses "But I already have scratches"

Grayson grits his teeth "Those are not the kind of scratches I'm talking about, Cassian"

"Doesn't matter." Cassian frowns slightly "What about you? How old are you?"

"I have no reason to tell you" Grayson replies dismissively, pauses, and then says "13"

The smirk on Cassian's face is smug "oh, so you're a baby. Like me"

"Baby?!" Grayson looks offended "I am not a baby!"

"You are" Cassian leans forward, and with one muddy finger, boops Grayson's nose "Boop!"

That's it. How dare this....this commoner touch him?! It was bad enough not knowing who he is, now this?!

"Do that again-" Grayson starts to threaten, but is cut off with another boop to the nose "Wha-"

"You said 'do it again' " Cassian smirks cheekily

"I swear to God-" Grayson takes a deep breath, composing himself. It was not like him to lose his temper over something like this "Do not do that again. Now, state your business for bothering me"

"Flowers." Cassian holds up the geraniums "For you."

Grayson paused, processing this information "......"

"you trespassed onto Hawthorne property to give me flowers?!"

Cassian nodded excitably

"You are either exceptionally smart or extremely stupid" Grayson sighs "i do not want your flowers"

"ill forgive you for calling me stupid, since I want to be your friend."

"i do not want you as a friend. Why would you even want to be friends with me?"

"Because you're a loner with no friends to bring you flowers" Cassian shrugs

Grayson had to admit, that stung. He did have so-called "friends", but he never was close with them, so they were more like strangers that he knew. But was he going to admit he didn't have friends to Cassian? Absolutely not.

"i have friends" Grayson grits through his teeth, fists clenching at his sides. He was getting impatient.

"No, you don't. I would've seen them if you did" Cassian says smugly

Grayson pauses, inhaling a sharp breath "you were stalking me?"

"i wouldnt say that," Cassian takes a step closer as Grayson takes one back "More like, saw you sitting here alone everyday as I passed by."

"And if i dont believe you?" Grayson says, internally prepared for a fight

"Well, I'm already here and giving you flowers. Red, right? Your favourite color?" he holds up the flowers again

"Youre a wierdo," Grayson slaps his hand away "i dont want your flowers."

Cassian frowns a little "oh. That's okay, maybe you hate these ones. I'll bring you some more tomorrow"

"Do not come back" Grayson grits

"im gonna" Cassian places the flowers at Grayson's feet, stands back up, looks at Grayson, shoots him a mischievous grin, and boops his nose again, making Grayson's nose officially the most booped part of his body.

Grayson opens his mouth to finally curse but Cassian starts running away "Oh, no, you don't." Grayson runs after him

But Cassian is surprisingly fast, and dodges Grayson multiple times

"We're playing tag, now?" Cassian snorts a laugh

Grayson realizes what's happening and stops dead in his tracks and frowns, glaring at Cassian.

"Leave." he says, barely holding on to his anger

"Why-" Cassian begins, but Grayson interrupts

"Leave before I tell on you. I'm giving you a free card once, don't expect it again" Grayson takes a breath through his teeth

Cassian slowly blinks at him, but then smiles softly and says "Okay! I'll figure out how to get out by myself next time"

Grayson watches as the boy sneakily watches out for the guards, and then darts into the woods without being seen, and eventually vanishes out of sight.

Grayson lets out a huff of irritation, and begins to walk back to the House, when he notices the muddy geraniums on the grass in front of him.

He hesitates for a second before picking them up.

I'll just throw them away, it doesn't matter. He thought

But a small part of Grayson, that he desperately tried to push away, wants to keep them. He doesn't want to admit it, but he really did not have any friends to bring him flowers. He was still suspicious of the boy, but he decided to see where all of this would end.

But for now, all he had to focus on was getting inside, taking a much needed shower, because of that pesky boy, and then attend lunch with his brothers and Grandfather.

i need you all to know that when i say my blog is multifandom i actually mean that this is what the inside of my head looks like at any given moment and i spin a roulette wheel with (USUALLY) these guys every time i open tumblr and the character it lands on gets to be character of the day.

[shitposting-account]

xanvid is doomed in the sense that theyre not meant to be with each other because they idolize too much the other, falling in a lie for a relationship. how they perceive the other is so bad that once they see their masks off, their truth personalities, or just being aware of them could break that illusion that kept them alive. specially xander towards david

its not that they wont understand once they make things clear but more like, initially it could go so wrong because of that adoration

neither of them are a good person, theyre both too extremists (and i think david is really just trying to copy xander in a toxic manner) and have that rage inside them that would explode in different ways, they dont see each other as just someone normal

or idk this is what ive been thinking about them

[lyrakanefanatic]

no way this bitch wished his daughter a happy birthday and then went ahead and shot himself ☠️☠️☠️

like damn you saw her maybe twice in your life and you decide to pick the one time she’s over, her BIRTHDAY, as the day you wanna sh00t yourself. thomas thomas is not thomas thomasing. 😪

even tho im saying this, im lowkey so excited to find out what happened to him and what kind of person he is. he may not be that great since he barely ever visited his own daughter, but then again he may have visited before when she was younger (like when she was 1 or 2), or when lyra’s mother and he were still together, and lyra just didn’t remember. im not gonna jump to conclusions and immediately accuse him of being a bad person, but then again jlb likes making bad fathers so idk 💀💀

i want to see thomas (i love the fact that im calling him thomas even tho that’s defo not his acc name ☠️) and tobias’ relationship and what that was like, because i feel like they were rather close. (in a mentor/mentee kind of way) who knows, maybe thomas was even close with toby and them (colin, david, yadayada)

maybe he struck out the wrong deal with tobias or they got into a terrible disagreement, and thomas found out a vital piece of information that could sink tobias’ entire empire to the ground. maybe tobias threatened his family (maybe with financial problems, but if this were to occur, i’d guess tobias would threaten to harm them. he’s very cruel to those who aren’t family.) so badly that thomas had no choice but to end his life so the secret would die with him. and maybe the riddle has something to do with the secret as one last “eff you” to tobias?? idk but it’s the theory im sticking with until we find out what happened with thomas thomas.

(btw im getting this from somebody who said that calla in spanish (because i think thomas and lyra are latino) meant “quiet” or “be quiet” so i tend to think that thomas shooting himself was the result of tobias forcing him to keep his mouth shut. even if that means taking the secret to the grave. (literally. ☠️))

i’ve read a lot of Power ranger fan fictions where they call their love one sweetheart or sweetie and a part of me realizes. “Yeah I don’t think I imagine any Power ranger using pet names like that.”

[july-19th-club]

forced myself to finish this book even though by the last hundred pages or so all i was doing was picking apart the post-catholicism of it all. bc i feel like it's important to read shit you don't gel with . just because. even though the whole way through i was like they HAVE to prove it's not real. they HAVE to. so not the point of any of it but i was desperate for them to Find The Body etc. and of course instead they have mystical time travel experiences and all that because that is the kind of book the actual star is but i was desperate for them to realize that the star you see is the actual star. and then it wasn't

[safyresky]

I've been seeing this meme going around lately and I had only ONE thought

it just occurred to me that xander will probably inherit halway comics. i never really thought deeply into his future career ever but it makes a lot of sense to me. moffy will take over hale co, luna becomes ceo of fizzle, xander will run halway comics, and kinney….its honestly early days in terms of her characterization so we don’t know that much about her yet besides she likes vlogging and fashion. i never imagined rose giving it up but honestly maybe she would pass on calloway couture to kinney because none of her own kids are /that/ fashion inclined (or really as business minded as the hale kids seem to be so far) and rose has always been a huge role model and inspiration to kinney. if this does end up happening the hales will go from already being the most successful and employed family to being even richer and more successful. they are so slay like that. and also in this perfect world i have dreamed up i think they should all 4 have equal stock in / power over superheroes and scones because that place is just so family 💙

i like listening to people discussing sex bcuz i think its very insightful cute and interesting to hear what makes someone tick, positions they like, nicknames they like and general turn ons. like actual serious discussion btw, it feels refreshing to hear it talked about in a very casual way like the weather is being discussed
