Can I ask...what actually happens with Viktor in S2?? I keep hearing people being really vague about it being Bad but I haven't seen the leaks and now cannot find out anything that isn't just someone saying they won't say anything;; I just want to temper my expectations bc I was only excited for S2 for his storyline (+ Jayce interactions) and I'm getting the impression they don't do.....much?? with it?
spoiling stuff for real under the cut
As of ep5, Viktor:
-Doesn't have his mask or armor
-Has no outspoken ideological drive
-Has never once expressed interest in the traditional venues of transhumanism ocurring all around him
-Never made blitzcrank, never did shit ONSCREEN
-The only tangible reference we get to the machine herald is this shot of cards back on s1:
Tumblr media
I genuinely dont know if he has even 5 full minutes of actual footage across all of these episodes lmfao...
His contributions to the story are, in sequence:
-stuck in stasis. jayce waits by his bedside for over an episode
-emerges from coma, immediately rebuffs all of jayce’s warm affectionate advances to the point its a little comical. looks like a dried grape, barely any bigger. declares that he's mad over not being left to DIE; he has to go away now. he hears... her voice! oh! that girl who spoke one time in s1 and that he ignored in every scene!
Tumblr media
-left the lab buttnaked and barefoot with a blanket jayce wrapped around him to explore the streets on zaun. a bunch of sick homeless guys (who are, of course, shimmer addicts, see my note about war on terror) think he must be augmented so they want to kill him for scraps and parts. But they dont know that viktor is jesus now. he turns his stigmata palm to that guy who sold out caitlyn in s1 and proceeds to magically cure the lepers.
-this is his last scene for a little while. we Hear Of Him when one of the disabled councilors is looking for ways to deal with his pain from the accident. arcane loves looking over the shoulder of the rich and powerful like they are the main drivers and movers of the story
-like an hour of footage later, jayce reemerges (from a nexus-type of situation) and he finds one of Viktor’s servants -- its that councilor guy-- doing something unspecified. He's surprised to see jayce and tells him that he may speak to viktor; viktor says he misses him and wants to see him and basically "my bad man i was tripping when i said that shit to you the writers needed some lazy disagreement point," but he sounds really cult-leader sleazy and jayce is really mad over being left behind. Jayce is having some flashbacks to void monsters in the other side and tells servant guy he's not allowed to let him go. Servant councilor guy says well too bad! Im going! So jayce pulverizes him with his hammer. based jayce. he looks like brown bearded dante from devil may cry
That's the ep5 clifhanger. i think you can tell how i feel.
My predictions are as follows: jayce tracks him down to his lair and we get a showdown that is a vague reference to their original character bios battle; the one where viktor sics a bunch of brainwashed people on him and the building falls over everyone from the impact. It's possible that viktor is still not wearing his armor, and in this altercation jayce beats him up so bad or dismembers him enough that in act 3 he will have built one. That feels insulting to me but they legitimately have been very lazy.
oh and jayce also has a magical stigmata now. i hope they get to scissor those things together

Bittersweet love
An original AUmodernAzriel x Reader
Tumblr media
these songs remind me of them <3333
Warnings: Mentions of abuse, mention of trauma Summary: Growing up with your abusive father and your mother who never spoke up against him, you had truly given up hope of any chance of a real relationship, of real love, the ones of the kind that you read about in your books, till you're proven wrong.
A/N: this is my first fic ever+english isnt my first language, and I wrote this in a daze, the idea came to me at like 3 AM,so....enjoy muah<3 Thump.....thump. DAMN IT CAROLINE GET OUT HERE! Another night another fight, that too on their anniversary, a classic. I scoff thinking about all the picture-perfect smiles and the absolutely lovely speech my dad had read out for my mom tonight, a show, it was all a show, no one knew what went inside our house every week, how my dad hit my mom, screamed at her and then bought ridiculously expensive gifts for her as if that would fix everything. I was so so tired of their useless fights, every time it all ended the same way, with my mom never leaving. I heard the rain outside before I saw it. One thing about me was that I always loved the rain, growing up, and till now it just felt right to cry under its cover, to cry with it, to admire how beautiful it felt to be enveloped in her comfort and just...let everything go. I sneaked out my window and walked out of our backyard. There was an abandoned house right behind mine, I spread rumors just so everyone thought, it was either haunted or inhabited, in truth it was my den. Snacks, clothes, comfy blankets, duvets, you name it. It had all I needed to feel better. When I entered my lair I noticed that most of my snacks were empty and the empty packets pristine clean. Oh no, someone had discovered the truth, I turned around only to find a pair of hazel eyes staring back at me, the darkness enveloped him, I couldn't see him, but guessed well enough he was taller than me. I cursed at myself for being stupid enough to enter an abandoned place at night in the middle of a heavy down pour. No, no, no, no. I stepped back I couldn't die like this, not in this shit hole. "Um, hello there. Are you okay? you just seem a little pale" I gaped at him. He had the most alluring voice id ever heard on a man and damn did it mess with my senses. "I won't hurt you, I promise. Look I'm not armed plus I dont even have enough energy to argue right now." He stepped a bit closer enough that I could make out his silhouette illuminated by the moonlight. His hazel eyes were a sweet honey brown shade, tanned skin, muscles, tall as frick, and hot too. Holy crap this guy looked straight out of a book. "Hello?". Realizing I'd been gaping at it the whole time it took me second to remember the situation I'd found myself in before I said "Hi, Im Lana" I lied, my name wasnt lana but i wasnt gonna tell some random guy who ate my snacks AND all my blueberry sour candy my name, Im not that dumb. He steps out of the shadows so i could get a proper look at him, and so he could look at me i realize. "Hello Lana, Im Azriel". I looked at him, really looked at him noticed 3 things, 1. He didnt look much older than me, meaning either he was in school or in college, 2. He was wearing my oversized hoodie which looked a little too small on him, and 3. He looked in a bad shape. He had bruises on his face marring his body, burned hands, swollen eye and looked cold, very cold and malnourished. He looked almost......homeless.
I snuck a glance outside.
I silently swore, if this man- Azriel, stayed here any longer he would DIE, either of fever or due to infection. I might already have brought a one way ticket to the deepest darkest pits of hell but doesnt mean he did. Without a thought i spit out "Come to my house". "Im sorry what?" he chuckled out smirking at me as a flush crept over me. "I-I meant that you cant stay here, there's heavy rain and its cold here. pfft that's totally what i meant" i stammer out. Reminder to curl up and die in a corner later on. He furrows his brow at my statement, a hint of amusement on his face. "Haven't you heard of stranger danger Lana?" He pipes out, his voice low and gravelly. "I doubt an 18 year old guy who wears Minnie Mouse hoodies with dora the explorer socks and a pink bow pajamas would try to kidnap me" Okay now this dude was really crossing it for me. Reminder number 2- Drown these clothes in holy water before wearing them again. Now it was his turn to be embarrassed. "I still look better in these than you could ever. But you're smart and these clothes fit me like a fucking tank top and shorts, so yes, Lana, I'll come to your house. Only because Im freezing out here" He added FRICK. FRICK THIS WAS A BAD,BAD IDEA
Azriels POV I stepped out of the shower, steam rising from the hot water. I smelled like lavender soap and vanilla- The scent of real men. I put on the fresh pair of clothes Lana gave me, A little smaller than what i wore but better than those hoodies of hers anyway. I saw her reading a book when i stepped out, no gods not another book-obsessed psycho. She motioned for me to sit down and applied some bandages, honey, and anti-septic cream and gave me some medecine, pain killers i guessed. She seemed to know what she was doing, better than going to a doctor if it meant it was free and she wasn't going- "Who gave you get these" My chain of thoughts are interrupted by her words. "I got myself banged up by a....raccoon?" A raccoon? A RACCOON? Thats the best I could come up with? Telling a girl that i got banged up by a raccoon? She laughs at my answer. It's not a soft melodic sound like i expected but a burst of laughter. She snorts and smirks at me. "Damn, a raccoon huh? Wait,does that mean your're pregnant now?Plus,what? did it tackle you to the ground with its little toe beans? What were you even fighting over, who gets the last thrown out doughnuts from the dumpster, oh, or, did she kick you out of the house instead? You're lovely raccoon wife." She laughs out, barely able to form the sentence without controlling her laughter. I roll my eyes but I cant help smile, I knew very little about this girl but i did know 4 things, 1. She was a terrible liar, introducing herself under a fake name when her name was written under every single one of her drawings, 'y/n' I liked that name, it sounded different yet familiar on my tongue. 2.She might have just saved my life 3. She had a very good taste in candy and 4. we are about to become very, very, very good friends, something I hadn't had in a while. Tell me in the comments if you want to be tagged in the next parts, plus im open to supportive constructive criticism so let me know how i can improve =) taglist: @anarchiii @starlightazriel @velarisdusk @siriuslystyle1989 @scorpioriesling

chapter ten
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
real life!
schlatts pov
as i handed my phone to talia i was nervous, i felt as if my text i had sent her all those years ago wouldnt make up for what i did to her, i wasnt sure how she would react. but as she looked up at me, eyes overflowing with tears, i had hoped she even started to forgive me.
real life!
talias pov
i continued reading the unsent text and with every word i began to cry harder, through most of high school, schlatt was always there for me, but i wasnt there for him when he needed me, and although i would like to forget most of senior year, i cant help but think how schlatt must of felt.
his grandpa, mike, was his best friend, the one who taught him baseball, and all of his jokes, and i wasnt even aware he passed. i was so wrapped up in myself and my problems that i didnt stop an d think there was a reason outside of him hating me.
i get to the end of the message "and no one could ever be you" his words ringing through my ears even though they were never said, i had felt the same way about him, it was always him, schlatt.
i put the phone down and look up at him, his eyes slightly teary, yet holding his composer well, i feel his thumb wipe away a tear, but all i can think about is how lonley he must of felt, not just me.
i wrap my arms around his torso and hug him tightly, and i start to cry even harder, i feel his hands thread through my hair. i rest my head in the crook of his neck and sob. "im so sorry jay, im so so sorry" i bawl
"hey, hey im the one whos suppos'd to be apologizing here" he lifts my head with his hand and wipes the rest of my tears "this whole mess isnt your fault, you have nothing to apologise for" he pleads while still holding my face in his hands.
"i didnt even know mikey died jay, i wasnt there for you, i shouldve checked on you, or something, i should of done something." i cried, i felt his arms wrap around me, and hold me with so much comfort. "baby i wasn't there for you. you were homeless lia, and i didnt even know, we both made mistakes." he said rubbing my back softly.
"all i hope is that you can forgive me." he pleaded. "jay i forgave you the moment i saw you at that party, breaking up those two guys." i laugh, and his eyes widened "you were there? did you see who was fighting?" he asked urgently
i tried to think but i couldnt figure it out. "no why?' i ask. "talia, i was the one fighting, it was alex, from high school. he was saying horrible shit about you, saying you guys were a thing, and that i missed out and i punched him, but my buddy hasan came in and finished him off." he laughs.
that caught me off guard, even when i hadnt spoke to him in over 2 years, he still defended me. he really did care about me. i threw myself back into him and hugged him even closer. i still loved him as much as i did back then "thank you" i say into the crook of his neck.
"no, thank you for hearing me out, i know ive been a bit of a dick these past few days and, i, guess these past few years, but i promise you, im gonna fix it." he says, looking down at me with the softest, yet guiltiest eyes ive ever seen. 
"you already have."
real life!
schlatts pov
as talia rests beside me, i feel everything start to mend itself, slowly, but im sure its gonna, "wanna go get food?" i ask. she nods and i get up and walk to the door but it wont open. "what the fuck" i mutter to myself. "hey did you lock the door" i look back at talia sitting up and stretching when i see her hoodie slide up i turn my attention right back to the door.
"no i dont think i did, wait what you literally came in after me?" she gets up and tries to open the door herself. "wait why would the door lock from the outside anyways?" i ask, im so confused so i call charlie "hey man, the door to talias room is broken can u help us?" all i hear is laughter on the other end of the call
"did you guys talk it out?" i hear ted ask "yes theodore kennedy we spoke now let us out." im starting to get a bit pissed. then hansum pipes up. "not until you two admit youre in love and want eachother desperately" when he starts moaning into the mic i decide its time to hang up.
"no luck?" she asks. "nope." i look around and remember our rooms are connected through a bathroom. "theres no way there smart enough to lock both our doors right" and turns out i was right.
we decide to sneak out so we dont have to get everyone else food and we eventually make it to the car. she puts her feet covered in strawberry socks on my lap and i see her take a picture when we make it on the road and start aggressively typing
"may i ask why a picture of me was taken?" i ask politely. she looks up at me and smiles "no" and i decide to move on. later that night i see she posted on instagram.

~~~the next day~~~
one of the last things that the group had planned to do, besides go shopping, was go to the san diego zoo.
tyler kept asking us all to go and we finally decided we would, the morning of i had woken up to charlie jumping on my bed like a gorilla so i knew today would be a long one.
i went downstairs only to find ted tried to make monkey-shaped pancakes and set off almost all the smoke detectors, so again, i felt the impending doom of the day coming on strong.
"are you guys filming for lunch club today?" i sat down at the counter, ted charlie tyler and travis were all in various parts of the kitchen. ted told me they were infact making a video and i could be in it if i wanted to, but i denied his offer.
my plan was that brittany was meeting me at the zoo so we could vlog, and i would meet back up with the boys when they had finished.
as much as i loved being with them, i always felt like i was intruding on their time together, so i opted out of this one, i was really excited to see brittnay though. 
"dont you guys think we should just get breakfast on the way" schlatt said as he strut down the stairs. wearing his iconic tims he has managed to not fuck up in all the time ive known him.
i also noticed he was wearing a very familar shirt, one that i had bought him years prior, and though i choose not to comment, i thought it made him look very cute.
we all loaded into our cars, i was driving schlatt, ted, tyler and Charlie. while travis was driving everyone else. "SHOTGUN!" i hear schlatt yell from the front door, before he flys by me into the passenger seat.
"wow you wanna sit with your girlfriend so bad" tyler laughs
"and what about it, huh?" schlatt jokes back
"yo, what the fuck?" tylers head jerks forward at that remark.
"please dont listen to him." i get into the front seat and start up the car, charlie begs to be on aux, and of course i let him cause hes my favorite.
by the time we arrive all the boys are fed and ready for a long hot day at the zoo, we arrive scan our tickets and i see britney in the distance. the moment i spot her i run and jump in her arms.
"ive missed you bitch!" i yell and jump "im so happy youre here, i need a break from all the testosterone." she laughs at me
"and you think im the best place for that." and at that, i die laughing, brittnay has always been one of the funniest people out there.
all the boys walk back over to us and say hi to brittnay before shoving a camera in my face.
"everyone say bye mommy!" ted says in a baby voice. a chorus of byes and way too many mommies come from the boys before they all take off, but schlatt lingers for a moment. 
"text me if you need anything or if you just wanna see me, ok?" i laugh at him "yes, now go before the kids get hurt, please make sure they dont do anything too stupid." "yes mommy" he runs off before i can slap him.
i turn to britney and she deadpans at me "we have alot to fucking talk about." i laugh before responding.
"oh yes we certainly do."
hours later me and brit are sat on the sky trolley when schlatt, ted, charlie, and there other friend, who i dont belive ive met, pass by us.
"HIII!" i yell out the cart. all their heads turn in our direction and i hear schlatt yell "DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT A ROTH IRA IS??" but dont have time to respond.
britney takes a long slurp of her coke before placing it down next to her. "did you guys fuck?" she asks seriously.
"ever, or like recently?" i laugh.
"i know the answer to ever, but recently, i know y'all are good now, but the tension is maing me horny."
"no brit we have not had sex within the last two years." i look down at my phone and see a text from schlatt, it says "lions or elephants." i quickly text back, "lion" before putting my phone back in my pocket.
britney and i finished our vlog around 530 and meet back up with the boys. i said my goodbyes to brittnay as i was seeing her very soon. we all loaded back into our cars when schlatt threw a giant lion stuffed animal at me. 
"what the hell is this" i look up at him in the passenger seat.
"i asked lion or elephant and you said lion so." he tries to be nonchalant and go on his phone but i reach over the center consol of my jeep to hug him.
"thank you, seriously, that is so sweet." i say, voice muffled by his shirt
"i remembered you like stuffed animals and i thought of you when i saw it, so.." he trails off, slightly embarrassed. "i love it." i put the lion in my lap and started the car.
5 minutes into the drive, i finally realized how quiet the car really was, i look around and see that every single person in the car except for me and schlatt is asleep, i check on him and he is barely staying awake, fighting sleep.
as the car ride went on i thought about me and him, what was going to happen after the trip, he was going to go back to new york, and i was going to stay in California, but now that i had him back, i wasnt willing to lose him
i wasn't going to let him slip through my fingers again.

Any headcanons for the "Vickie instead of Eddie" AU?
Thank you sm for asking im so excited abt this au
In one hand I feel like I'm just genderswapping Eddie, or replacing him with an OC, because we know so little about Vickie that I'd be mostly making things up, so in order to avoid that I want to take a moment to properly analyze what we have on Vickie so far:
She's in band.
She volunteers to make food for the homeless
She feels selfish for complaining about her boyfriend with everything going on
She rambles when nervous, apparently, just like Robin.
She likes Fast Times and left her boyfriend over it, because he said it had no plot (possibly indicates a deeper understanding of movies)
It's little but I think it'll do. What I want to focus on is her kindness and selflessness, which already sets her apart from Eddie. Not that I think Eddie is particularly selfish, but "kind" isn't the first word to come to mind when you want to describe him.
However, in order for the AU to work, we need to translate some Eddie Traits, or Eddie Situations, onto Vickie, those being:
A reason for her to be accused of Chrissy's murder.
A reason for her not to go to the police.
A reason for the town to fear her.
Living in the trailing park, near Max's trailer.
Some loose connection to the Hawkins Crew to explain why they even care to dig deeper into the case.
The obvious connection to draw there would be Robin's crush - she notices when Vickie doesn't show up at school the next day, she talks to Steve about it, Steve dismisses it as her skipping school, etc. One interesting thing to work with is Robin's tendency to both project on other people and idealize them, which is very present in her book and podcast. She thinks she can just "observe" people and make a perfect image of them in her head, often based on her own biases, despite reality being different. She did this when she was 15, so idk of she'd still do it at 18, but I do think she idealizes Vickie a little, even in the show - she calls her the girl of her dreams without knowing her, for fuck's sake.
So now she's making up explanations as to why Vickie couldn't possibly have killed Chrissy when Max shows up and tells them she saw her running away from the crime scene. Everyone is confused as to why Robin keeps defending her despite not knowing a thing about her. She later asks Steve if she was too obvious ("Maybe a little obvious," he says "but they probably still think we're secretly dating or whatever, so you're good for now").
Now, a reason for Vickie to be accused of Chrissy's murder... I have a few ideas:
A) They were friends, and she was with her when she died (only explanation as to why she wouldn't tell the police is that she killed her).
B) She was a drug dealer, much like Eddie, and Chrissy went to her (most interesting scenario in my opinion. The juxtaposition of "cute petite girl" and "drug dealer" is very sweet to me, and it would really defy Robin's expectations).
C) She was a rumored queer, and the persecution has a strong homophobic edge to it. They only think she killed her because she's a lesbian (which is pretty much the same as a man in their eyes), and she didn't go to the police because she knew they'd think she did it.
I like B and C, I'm going with those.
So, Robin insists this couldn't possibly be, and Dustin is like "dude, she ran from the police. From the police, man" ("to be fair, I think Nancy did that like a fifty times", Steve says), and Max will say something like "actually, there is something", [insert peculiar observation + plausible alternate expalantion as to what that might mean and how it could make Vickie innocent]. More focused on figuring out whether or not this is Upside Down related or not, the Hawkins crew begin looking for Vickie, find her at Reefer Rick's etc. She doesn't react violently like Eddie did - she's small and meek and curled into a corner, crying softly. Robin finds her, and talks to her. Things unravel from there.
Idk how different the story would be. Vickie wouldn't die, for starters, because part of the point in doing this is creating a complex love interest for Robin. Another thing to take into account would be Vickie not being confirmed queer until the very end. Keep Robin on her toes. She has no idea whether or not they're just ugly rumors, and honestly she just feels worse throwing herself at her with the entire town calling her a murderous dyke, stalking poor teenage girls.
Her personality is entirely different from Eddie's too. While Eddie is loud, selfish, cowardly and likes to be an asshole to kids, Vickie is kind and sweet and treats kids very well. She becomes friends with Max and Lucas and always checks on them. Being in band, she's been to all of Lucas' games, so she's seen his progress, she knows he's great. And being neighbors with Max means she's knocked on her door with a cacerole in her hands whenever Max's mom wasn't there for the night - she figured Max might be hungry. They don't know how to feel about the drugs thing, but they like her.
I think it would be nice to make her... not as similar to Robin in personality. I wouldn't make her as talkative or rambly, rather, I'd make her introspective and introverted. Soft-spoken. Also, with a lot of trauma. Something something mom also sold drugs, got arrested, now she keeps doing this to survive because she has no other way to make money + she probably has debts, etc. Give her a more melancholic edge. I think that would be quite fitting.
She and Robin develop a friendship through the season, getting together somewhere in S5.

so... i? idk. ive been out as trans in my house since 2020. my mom doesnt call me dom (sometimes she does if my sibling encourages her to, but she defaults back to my deadname anyways) and ive learned to accept it. i dont think she ever will and its sad for me, the reality that once i start my transition, ill need to just.. leave a lot of my family behind. they think its some rebellious choice like i hate all of them but im more worried about them hating me
my mom says shes supportive but is actively right wing, shes having an inner battle with her ideologies, i know that. i can tell by how she talks about homeless people vs how she talks about us being queer
so. whatever. thats my mom i guess. but for a long time, i wasnt out to my moms husband. i despise him and ive never intentionally started a conversation with him, let alone come out. ive started to not care about what he thinks. i know what he thinks, he thinks gays should die, said it straight to my gay siblings face. okay, cool. doesnt concern me, moms bf is absolutely fucking nothing to me.
to remedy this sort of like... we didnt wanna DEAL with what he might say if he heard both my siblings calling me dom, cuz both of them do, so whenever theyre around they would just refer to my deadname, but i saw it made them cringe, so now everyone calls me 'that one child'
that one, other one, etc etc
no one even calls me my name anymore
it makes me feel so hopeless. ive EXPRESSED it makes me upset but my younger sibling doesnt care (the one most guilty of it), because they dont understand why it upsets me, i guess thats enough reason to keep going
its so dehumanizing to be reduced to actually nothing. i ALREADY have heaps and heaps and HEAPS of identity issues. sometimes it gets so bad i start having crazy ass delusions, sometimes im not even present and its a different part of my mind in my body
its hard enough as is!!! now my family wont call me anything at all
it makes me feel less bad about leaving, but i dont think ill ever leave at this rate
need to start T, change my name, get a job, all in that order. starting T seems impossible at this rate. i.. dont know what to do. i cant keep LIVING like this, because im not living at all
i never leave my house because im too ashamed in how i look, i cant BEAR the thought of anyone else perceiving me as female, i cant fucking do it!!! im so tired. my house is like a prison for me, genuinely.
and my family dont get it, obviously. they think its my choice, im some kind of hermit who doesnt care about being outside because i have internet. they are so fucking wrong. i miss going out, i miss being around people, i miss existing like everyone else, but i just cant do it man. not like this
so it becomes a waiting game, when am i gonna bring up starting it? how do i even move forward once i do? what if she says no? id have to do it on my own but i cant.. i cant even order things for myself without freezing like shutting up will get me out of there, i cant fucking do it
she doesnt even know!! we were in the car together and she was like yknow theres people who cant even make a doctors appointment. what losers.
IM losers, would she have said that if she knew? does she know and decided to say it anyways? i dont know, but its just.. everything seems so hopeless at this point. i want to just give up, accept im not gonna be who i truly am, but man i cant stand being any more miserable
it makes me wanna cry, the only time i get to feel myself how i think i should be is either if i draw something fictitious, or if i spend hours in the mirror making sure i look masculine, my mustache is convincing, etc. AND FOR WHAT? literally for fucking WHAT, because i dont leave the house anyways!!!!! dolled up like i have somewhere to be, like my appearance will get me what i want, when im stuck at home! i got nothing to prove to them, they think what they think
its fucking dreadful. im so scared of my life passing me by, and here i am wasting away in my bedroom for the last 3 years. no progress, nothing. at first, i was scared about even starting T because theres a higher risk of heart disease, but. i dont fucking care if it KILLS me. i dont care!!! if it kills me i dont fucking care im not living the life i want to live anyways. the risk of death is worth it at this point, i mean that so seriously
idk. im just tired, is all. i wish everyone could perceive me the way i dream they would. only time that happens is online, or when im not with my family at all and instead with my friends. but we only hang out like. once in a blue moon
and yknow what? im not even safe then. i remember we were at my friends house for halloween last year (we always meet up). i had my full leatherface costume one, my face was touched up to make it look like the mask. and still. dressed that way, when my friends mom asked me what my name was, i said dom and she was immediately like. "oh, dominique?" no. my name is fucking DOMINIC.
i didnt say anything besides correcting her, but it was such a blow, man. the only time ill be happy is if im closely monitoring every single thing i do, to make sure i dont appear feminine at all. no matter how i look, now matter how deep my voice is. miserable. why would anyone think that id choose this

guys life is hell. hell. why is there drama. im 22. why is this high school bullshit happening to me
i hate it here. why did i get invited out by my crush and then when we invited our other friend to get her a bday drink.. and she pulled up with her roommate. and roomie asks if we can talk so i say yes and my “friend” follows us out. roommate said i was disrespectful to her & her bf the whole trip. she called me immature and irritating and said that i needed to learn to read social cues. she said i ruined the trip. she said i was self centered and attention seeking. while also saying “i dont know you well, but-“ the whole time.
at one point early on in the trip, she changed out of her pants and sat around in her underwear for about half an hour. the next day, while my friend was putting her makeup on in the bathroom, i quickly changed pants by my bed. no hanging around, just changing. she said this was incredibly disrespectful and kept repeating that she wanted to “beat my ass.” then she said “what if i did that in front of (my crush)?” and when i said that it was different bc he is not my boyfriend, she insisted that i wouldve been irritated. then she went on to say again that im childish because i “havent done anything with my crush” and i had to tell her that i did confess my crush to him, she said “and?” and she rolled her eyes and laughed when i told her we were seeing where it goes.
when i tried to ask my “friend” if this was true, if she thought i made everything about myself and ruined the trip, she said that yes she did feel uncomfortable being put between me and the other two. they told me that i was in the wrong for disagreeing with her boyfriend when he said dumb shit about homeless people and the BLM movement and shit. (before the trip my “friend” told me that this man is a “self proclaimed andrew tate dick-rider.”) they said i had to learn how to read the room and let people have different opinions than you.
i asked the roommate if i could talk to my “friend” alone and they both said no. the roommate said she didn’t want to know me or talk to me ever again, we’re not friends, she doesn’t want to be acquaintances. if i end up in her house she said her and her boyfriend would not be nice to me. she wouldnt shake my hand. they left.
they literally only stayed at the bar for like 20 minutes max. just showed up, my “friend” had my crush buy her vodka soda, and barely talked. just nodded and stared at me.
i go back inside and the night is OBVIOUSLY ruined! because i had been having so much fun hanging out with my crush! we talked abt music and the stuff i did in new york and shit. picked on each other. but now i start choking up while we close our tabs and go to sit outside, and i IMMEDIATELY start crying. he says “i knew it was gonna be bad because when you went to the bathroom, roommate leaned over to me and said “you’re gonna have to comfort her after this.””
HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT! like intentionally ruined both of our nights because he did have to comfort me! i cried bro! he told me they were wrong for doing it like this, he says i shouldn’t have gone on the trip with them at all because they are clearly not people i should’ve been friends with. he said i was smart and they probably made me look better to new yorkers on the trip. he said he’d been in my “friends” position before and he thinks that she shouldn’t have let me hang with them. he said its good that i stick to my opinions. he said he understands why people are intimidated by me but he also said i like being intimidating a little bit (i do.) and i even told him the stuff she said to me about HIM and he LAUGHED when i said she accused me of not doing anything about the crush. he was like “yeah no you definitely took initiative there” and said shes a dumbass who doesn’t know anything. he couldn’t believe our “friend” didn’t say hardly anything out there. said they ruined the night.
even though we had originally planned to leave early we literally sat there outside till the bar closed. he gave me a hug (a first!) then we went home.
that was wednesday night and we worked together yesterday and today, barely talked or looked at each other. she has my copy of tbosas and my elf concealer, i have her house key and her thg trilogy… and tbh chat i do owe her money😵‍💫😭🪦💔😟 but im on it
anyway. dnd nights ruined my favorite bar ruined my image to my crush ruined my work environment ruined. memories ruined plans ruined ugh. i hate everything so bad rn. i just dont know why she couldn’t tell me these things in the moment/right after, or even call me and get me alone after work. she waited until i was out with the guy i like at our favorite spot! stood there silently while her roommate that i barely know threatens to kick my ass! what the fuck?!!!?!

(and look. sometimes i just sorta hate an obvious set up for a spin off. it kinda makes me grumpy.)
i forgot the insane yuri moment out of nowhere also. actually that wasnt so bad but thats the other part about them thats always a bit ... help.... moffat writing this shit with one hand on his dick as usual

The altercation with the man in front of the library.....he was talking to police when I arrived then he stalked over to me telling me he helps homeless as a man of God so I could tell he was a house some house that kills the need off it's welfare so I said no I don't need any help from people here everything about it goes far away now I don't need anything from here
Then he went over to the meditatives saying he wanted to help them......
And then he left for awhile
Anyway I think you can see Jupiter right now because some type of migraine makes me feel like a fiber optic experiment it gets so loud I get these migraines like people are screwing into the top of my head....so these cars in the alley were parking in a garage and they did these break squeaks that make me feel like I have a late stage joint disease the squeaks and noise is that beastially painful
And it's been all the time that these berliners come around with squeaks to make people feel completely defiled it's all the time every ten minutes or so that a severe break squeak rapes and assaults so I can't control my temper any more because their creepy berliners that want to completely defile people
So I start screaming that's too loud your too loud creepy Irma grece your too loud that was excruciatingly painful get away from me
And he freaked out and started screaming at me and accusing me of things like I was smoking meth.....and I ignore this because my case is well known in systems all over the states and what's creepy about my case if what won't stop gang rapeing me called me a child and whats disturbing is that i don't use drugs.....
Its well known that sheriff teams think about how to release me like a Turpin child.....I don't use drugs and I'm a grown adult cult creepy I was called a child by stagnation cults
Then I scream his mistake at him........don't ever yell at a woman.....your a huge male and males don't ever do that it's a woman and I'm sorry even women who have beat me up don't deserve being screamed at im a woman and you do not discipline me
......and get away from me i scream at him.....and he then tries to curse me out and talk about how he is an emissary of God then he keeps crying to security to call police and he is suicidal and he wants police all the time he wants police through the conversation.....
My India classes eventually showed me they are a militaristic people and I could ask them for things about Africans....if it's poor whites their always very secretive about things I could do to be free from nigger drug dealers
If it's poor white their very adamant that I have to get nigger raped and have the child forcibly so economic better thens can justify their creepy incest needs
They mostly told.......me that it's an African it's based off racism and studies in illicit conduct if it's forced to be a foreigner.....and that uncle Sam wants me I can ask the Indians for intelligence about the good ones and they can be very very forceful that they don't leave house arrest
She thought my name was Irish so I said no....it's these subtle appearance differences Kathryn is french Catherine Irish....I was white
No the Irish are that way they are very shocking people I will make peace with them most of my youth and give them these payments to their vanity and they turn around and remind me of my worst pre teen nightmare like grunge clubs and my birth father's piano stolen by a creepy secular abortionist if it's Irish you were called vermin in some way
James Joyce Irish people if it's modernity to first menses their very obsessed with being around this first fragile egg it's why I have these blockages in my Achilles tendons they always block people up put fibroids in your veins they call people vermin the vermis
Irish deaf cancer and you still didn't pay the vanity enough for them to not shatter the smallest most fragile bones in your inner ear

Oh my god, I cannot begin to explain how happy this response made me. Genuinely, like- I’m smilin’ so much, man.
I won’t reply specifically to all of it cause, ya know, a lot of the sections, I’m just gonna be, like, YES, so if I don’t say anything about a specific sections, just assume there’s a YES, OH MY GOOOOOODDDDD, LITERALLY, hehe.
Oh, god, coming back up here right now to just give a fair warning. I really…I’m incapable of writing anything short. It was, like, a win whenever writing letters back and forth with a friend of mine and I only filled in the front and back of one page. A miracle. Don’t feel pressure to respond with any huge thing, or feel free to just leave it at this, take as much time as you need to even get to reading this in the first place. I literally have nothing going on in my life right now so I have all the free time in the world so don’t feel like you have to match my response time, heh, oy.
Genuinely, feel free to just leave it at this because I am capable of infinitely rambling about this show so- Just saying this so you don’t feel pressure, ha:
Anyway, uhhh, here we go:
This honestly makes me think of Adhir, and you bring this up later too, the solution he had was simple and yet, no one else thought of it because no one else cared to. I will say, that I think the Bluth family does have a little "variation" of that solution they use on Gob. Adhir's strategy of giving Gob treats when he pays attention or answers a question right kind of mirrors, I feel, the Bluth family system of sticking Gob with the unsavory jobs with the promise of a "treat" if he pulls it off-this treat being their attention, pride, or even respect, however false it may be.
Oh my god, yeah, I didn’t even think about the connection between these things. Yah, like, they tell him to do this job for a treat but there really isn’t even a treat there at all. It’s all just to get him out of their hair. But then Adhir comes in and he ACTUALLY gives him the treat. He actually rewards him when he does well. I was checking back at a fic I’d written cause I was like, “Oh, man, I better have included hesitation when he first accepts it,” and I did and I’m very glad cause I feel like Gob would’ve been sort of untrustworthy at first.
Here’s the part:
“‘Exactly,’ Adhir said with a smile, handing Gob a candy. Gob looked up at him and then back down at the candy in front of him before taking it and placing it in his mouth. He smiled.”
Every day I cry. Every single day I cry.
YESSSS! gob believing he is only going to ruin steve who he believes to be a good kid. gob knowing that he is virtually homeless, and does not have the functionality to care for a kid. you say that, in his head, "the kindest gesture he as his dad could so is run away, the only way to ensure he never hurts him" and im just like, yeah! exactly! he really does believe that, and honestly, i do have to wonder what steve feels when it comes to gob- there is a want to connect with him, repeatedly, but he also seems to understand that gob is flaky "he's not coming back" and such. And yet he still responds, he still leaves his door open.
I think of that moment, where steve says "I'll never forget this" and when he leaves, gob says, " will." and I think that moment might also have something to do with steve understanding a little bit of gob- and i know its meant to be comedic, gob literally calls him a mistake, but hes also trying to comfort him, and i dont know, i think about that moment a lot from steve's perspective, and how it affects his relationship with gob.
Oh my god, not to be redundant but I cry every day. I never thought about that. Yah, like, Steve really seem to show an understanding of Gob. The “he still leaves leaves his door open”, UGH. Literally. You’re so right, he has, like, an understanding of Gob. He gets his dad. He understands he’s clearly got stuff going on and even though it hurts, he let’s him go and he LEAVES HIS DOOR OPEN FOR WHEN GOB’S READY, AHHHH. Crying. Sobbing. Steve is another character who is just…He’s too sweet. He’s too pure. I love him.
Yes!! i LOVE this, and honestly, I have to say I'm so glad that we started this discussion, because I am so curious about your thoughts on Gob's sexuality. I thought for the longest time he was bisexual, probably because of the various relations hes had with women that he doesnt brag about to his father (like that one girl who he shoved off the yacht when george michael came to visit. i know he was virtually homeless, so I thought maybe he was with her for a place to stay, right up until i remembered he was living on the yacht, so he didn't need to actually be with her) leaving me to assume its not all a persona and he genuinely enjoys sex, but at the same time, he doesnt seem invested in any of relationships up until tony, who he is positively giddy for.
So I at times think that those relationships are a product of him once again putting on a performance in which he tries to convince himself as well. and i thought that he was definitely attracted to woman, at least a little bit, because he was so absolutely repulsed by kitty, making me think oh, so he could like woman, but not her. and then i flip flop back to 'but have we ever seen him in a happy relationship with a woman? we can argue his happiest was with lucille 2 but-" and this goes on and on. is he bi? is he gay? i would like to hear your thoughts on this, gob not knowing he could bi until the wall illusion and buster yells that bit about alive and bisexual is so funny to me, but i dont know if it would be backed by canon.
Oh my god this section was supposed to be Marta but instead I ended up going on about my thoughts on "gob bluth: bi or gay" instead, my bad.
Not your bad at all! I’m happy to delve into this! When I first got into the fandom and watched the show, I also assumed he was bi but I read this post by @gobbluthbutagirl which I HIGHLY recommend checking out(if you haven’t already, if you have, you can skip this section honestly, there’s the part I wrote about the Buster thing which I made a bullet point so you can just read that part if you’ve already read the post)(or, actually, you could probably just go read that post and then come back here and then skip to my little bullet point instead of having to read both) when you have the time and, like, I really, truly believe he’s gay. I’ll parrot some of the points they mention but I don’t wanna steal their thunder so again, credit to them.
There are many times in the show that we see him with women but as you said, he never seems happy in those relationships. And an even more stark comparison, he never is like how he is with Tony. It’s night and day, frankly. Literally, months have gone by and Gob, out of the blue, still fresh on his mind like it happened yesterday, giddily talks about how Tony Wonder’s beard tickled him. He’s not like this with any other of his relationships, all of which are with women. He spends the whole of season five trying to get back with Tony. He never does this with any other women. And that’s not because they didn’t treat him well. Marta is super nice and incredibly supportive and it’s not just some breaking point that got Gob to open up with Tony in season four. We see that he responds to kindness and support in the earlier seasons and is kind back. Like, for example, during the Tiny Town episode, he is incredibly nice and toned down and genuine the whole time he’s doing that and even after he learns it was Buster helping him, not his dad, he actually has growth and says that maybe he and Buster should spend more time together! So it’s not like he’s just this completely cynical, rotten person. Marta, and others too, were incredibly nice but it still didn’t work. To quote directly from the essay: “Why? Because he is gay. He is fundamentally incompatible with them on every level.” Any kindness he received from these women was tainted by the fact that he is a gay man in a relationship with a woman and unhappy and bitter at the woman and the relationship because of that.
The women Gob was with in the earlier seasons were all a part of that facade. All a part of him trying to convince himself that he is straight, what ended up as only a reminder that things don’t work(which culminate in season four). I think Ann and Lucille(and Joni, but that’s more, like, blatantly obvious) were very much so last ditch, desperate efforts to find a woman he was attracted to. I think you could say he got along with Lucille 2 but I do not believe he was attracted to her in a romantic or sexual way. Again, no relationship with a woman that we see Gob in reflects the relationship he had with Tony. And with Ann, it was a desperate, last ditch attempt at finding someone, anyone who worked, and he sleeps with her that night(he was originally gonna break up with her) and he ends up sobbing and collapsing onto the ground, incapable of getting a comprehensible word out. And someone pointed out, I can’t remember if it was this essay or not, but we don’t even truly know how many times Gob has slept with women because of how many times he’s lied about it. We even see in season five, he says something along the lines of, “Yeah, Kitty was pretty sweet on me,” but in reality, he panicked and did everything in his power to try to avoid her and in the end, did nothing with her. And yah, I agree, I think Kitty seems to be an extra level of repulsive to him but we also see on two separate occasions, with Nellie, he’s crying instead of sleeping with her and with Ann, he’s crying after, and there are countless more times where he’s lied about sleeping with women, he lied about sleeping with his wife to a fault. Etc, etc, etc! He’s in, like, near-total denial in the early seasons and he’s been able to keep it up until season four, when he’s started to realize he’s never gonna find a woman he’s attracted to.
We also know Gob’s been with men before Tony and, again, to quote the essay, “Tony is the first man Gob has ever “allowed”(his own words!) himself to develop feelings for. And he’s spent his whole life trying and failing to develop feelings for every woman under the sun. And he’s fucked with his memory so much that there’s really no telling how much of it he remembers and how much of it he doesn’t, but the fact of the matter is this: he remembers his night with Tony, and for the entire remainder of the show afterwards he does not sleep with a women ever again. And not for a lack of trying.” (I would continue quoting after that but again, I don’t want to literally just type a whole paragraph. Again, if you haven’t already, please go read this essay when you have the time) Gob’s thought process is him constantly trying to prove not only to others but to himself that he likes women(which, obviously, fails to work, but the fact that he slept with them and did stuff with them means he can’t be gay, right? right??? A gay guy couldn’t make himself sleep with a woman, right?????(wrong)). He has so many opportunities after Tony to sleep with women but he doesn’t and he struggles to even LIE about sleeping with or being attracted to a women in season five. He can hardly even get the words out! And again, while Tony and him are same and are soulmates, there’s nothing specifically about how Tony treats him in the sense of understanding him and supporting him that other women he’s dated, like Marta, did not check the box for, but the reason they don’t work is because he is gay.
I always interpreted Buster saying that as him just coming to the conclusion that Gob is bi based on what Gob told him. I like to believe that Buster knew to some extent, I mean, he saw him around Tony during the Sword of Destiny stuff. He saw how he talked to him and about him. Buster’s the only one who ever truly payed attention to him, like, actually listened, so I’m sure he noticed other things too(and Michael literally shouted, “I knew it!” so I feel like it’s realistic to believe it wasn’t exactly a well kept secret) but it’s not like Gob was divulging his love life to him OTHER than the times Gob bragged about sleeping with women. And in season five, Gob is talking to Buster, saying how he’s gonna turn himself back to being straight because he’s not to gay and, ya know, it’s obvious to Buster that Gob is definitely not straight but in his mind, perhaps what’s confusing his older brother, who seems to be identifying with both straight and gay, is that he likes both men and women. I mean, from Buster’s perspective, that would make sense(also, I love how supportive Buster is, haha). When in reality, with the information he does not have that we do have points to Gob being very much so not interested in women and very much so interested in men.
Again, it’s night and day when you compare how his relationships with women to his relationship with Tony, how happy he is, how more accepting of himself he is, how much he’s grown, how willing he is to run off with him, to leave his family for this man, the first man he allowed himself to develop feelings for, no one ever before in this show has had that affect him and talking about relationships, there’s one common theme and that’s that they’ve all been women, and that’s only corroborated by how uncomfortable and how much he avoids doing anything or even at times LYING, literally, JUST SAYING WORDS that affirm an attraction or that he did stuff with women later on in the show.
Anyway, not to say it again but to say it again, I don’t wanna just rewrite this persons essays but less well organized, haha, so I’ll stop here. And again again, not to say it again, but I recommend this essay that they wrote. It’s so good, so well written.
I've never seen him as straight, and then the last two seasons happened and i was like awesome, they confirmed it! its canon! tony and gob are truly the gay love story of all time.
Also, I gotta say something about this, I was(am, to be frank) the most OBLIVIOUS person ever. Literally, not only was I like, “haha, look at Gob, accidentally flirting with Gary and that other guy at Sitwell and he slept with a guy in a threesome, haha! What a silly, oblivious, very straight guy!”, I got up to the episode in season four where Gob and Tony have their whole thing going on and I was kinda feeling shaky on season four so far so I was close to quitting watching and I saw the scene where Tony and Gob were doing all their romantic stuff and Gob confesses he has feelings for Tony and Tony says the same and the narrator says the feeling was friendship-
AND I BELIEVED IT! I took it word for word. And I stopped watching there! I STOPPED. WATCHING. THERE. For YEARS I thought their relationship, which I only saw through fanart, was just a fan hc thing and I was like, “Aw, that’s a cute hced pairing :)” and then literally last year I got hyperfixated on Gob one day and was scrolling through Tumblr and I saw a meme with that guy in the corner of a party, the party being those who didn’t watch season four or five, and the guy in the corner said, “They don’t know Gob isn’t straight” and I was like, “WHAT?!” and I finished the rest of the show in one night. The fact that they are real is just- I- It makes me so happy. Like, I don’t even have to make stuff up, they are REAL.
Like, okay, if the joke was obvious, if people understood that the feeling was in fact not friendship(more than friendship, rather, obviously, that’s an element), I don’t think I’d have a gripe with that line. But because of oblivious people like me, that line drives me batty. Literally, I got this comment on my video essay where, because it was relevant to my point, Gob being gay was mentioned throughout it:
Tumblr media
Really, it just feels like willful ignorance at this point with some of these people because- I don’t even know what to say to this. I mean, I have a lot to say to this, let’s be real, but- It’s just…I’m astounded. Like, Mitch Hurwitz has literally said stuff on multiple occasions about Gob being in love with Tony in a gay way, I don’t- I don’t get it.
Okay, moving on before I start to rant about this again.
I totally agree with everything you said about marta! her becoming a part of gob's support system is so awesome, and youre genius for thinking it. you know who else i wonder about? nellie. do gob and franklin still work as her "voice on the phone?" you know, that hot cop gob and baby/young steve holt idea i have is suddenly growing be hot cop gob and escort nellie ending up befriending each other after showing up at the same job/party, or when gob starts following people to their cars.
also unrelated, but i love the closet guys and adhir and their patience with gob, and honestly, i am so happy for him, he needs more people in his corner, i am so glad for tony who is so obviousiv in love with him
Okay, I know I said I’d just skip over and have an assumed YES with things where that’s all I really have to say for but I just have to specifically go to this and say YESSSS. I didn’t even think about Nellie, I love that!!! God, that’s so true. That’s so real. Also, I love how in the scene with Nellie, Gob has Franklin with him. It’s so funny. Gob cares so much about that puppet, the narrator literally described Franklin as the one friend who didn’t mind having him around, I sob. I sob every single day of my life. He really does need more people in his corner, heheh. And yes, literally, Tony- I- Okay, I remember you asked about my thoughts on something specific about him at the end so I’ll elaborate more on him at the end but also, just…God, they are SO SAME but also NOT SAME in the best ways! They bring the best out of each otherrrrr.
Also, I’m a big fan of the idea of Tracey and Gob friends(I talk about this next so I’ll stop here).
and idk, just something about, when gob becomes a waiter, he goes to the flirting/saying he'll sleep with them route for the tips-and when he finds out he's not getting tipped at the event later, "things get ugly" so yes, it is very much gob viewing "tricks as a different but effective area in his repertoire. its an asset thats his and one that he succeeds at, whereas with his illusions, what he really loves and is passionate about, he is seen as a goof.
Oh man, I am only now realizing how deep the trick and illusion stuff goes. Like, ya know, haha, silly gag, BUT ALSO. I’ve always utilized someone calling his magic ‘illusions’ as a way to show them as an ally, a friend to Gob. A way to show that they respect him. Like, I hc that Tracey would’ve been close with all the siblings, including Gob, and Gob and her would’ve been particularly good friends, him getting, like, immediately attached to someone who shows any interest in his magic career(and in this case, it’s a girl he doesn’t “have to” date so there’s not even pressure there. in my mind, like, if Gob ever got along with a woman, he’d be like, “Oh no, wanting to be with a women? What if that’s because I’m gay? But I’m not gay so-” and to prove that to himself, immediately try to make a move because that makes sense to internalized homophobia logic: he must be gay if he doesn’t wanna sleep with every single woman…and I mean, he is gay and does not want to sleep with women but ya know, that’s obviously not how straight people work, haha). And it adds a further level to Gob sticking to his passion for magic when he corrects people. He’s sort of sticking up for himself and it’s in a bit of a silly way but still, it’s just a further example of his family never taking him seriously. Expecting things of him but also, at the same time, expecting him to never live up to them.
Also, how you described his whole time with the entourage, being transactional, that’s EXACTLY it. I remember, in the first instance of them interacting, one guy is like, “Hey, you’re a magician, huh? Go show my boy, Mark Cherry, a trick,”(paraphrased, ha) and Gob’s like, “Well, it’s an illusion-” and they rudely interrupt him and go, “Show him a trick,” and Gob sort of pauses awkwardly and is like, “Yeah, here’s a trick!”
Gob’s naivety and trustfulness is really put on display throughout the whole entourage thing and it just makes me so sad. My poor, desperately lonely, inadept-at-picking-up-social-cues son, Gob Bluth.
kinda unrelated but bipolar gob. just. bipolar gob + some flavor of neurodivergent for sure. and maeby as well!
Oh, yes, I love this interpretation of Gob. I’ve been doing research for my writing and I still don’t feel like I have a good enough grasp on it to write it properly, I don’t want to not do it justice(as someone who has mental illnesses that are constantly being misconstrued, it drives me batty and I don’t want to contribute to that with other ones). I really hope I’ll be able to aptly portray it in my stories one day cause I just love that interpretation of his character. I think it aligns very well with how he’s portrayed, from what I’ve read.
For Gob, I hc him as having adhd, being autistic and being dyslexic and I hc Maeby as having adhd and being dyslexic. I don’t think there’s actually any real, sufficient evidence for either of them being dyslexic but I’ve decided they do and that’s my reasoning, haha. With the adhd, Maeby just gives off the vibes combined with her struggle in school, and it’s similar to Gob except I have more direct stuff for him in terms of “evidence”(I know that’s not what they were going for but, ya know, evidence in terms of, like, you can interpret him this way because *insert instance here*). I was talking with someone, though, and something about Will Arnett’s performance just…It gave Gob a very neurodivergent vibe. Like, idk. Cause really, you could absolutely have someone else play Gob, still be basically the same character, but not have the autistic and/or adhd vibes but something about how he played him…(which we also identified in the character, Terry Seattle, who Will Arnett plays on Murderville). Idk, idk.
I feel gob is looked up to by buster bc hes his oldest brother yes, for sure, but also because its an act of rebellion in a way, as well as it being safe to look up to gob be hes not a "threat" in terms of lucille's love.
anti gob bias installed from youth is such a nice way of putting it. they love him, no doubt, but they also do not understand him. which is why buster is so interesting to me, as he does not have the same attitude.
Yes! Like, I do, of course, think Buster’s love for Gob is genuine but I think these play into it. Especially because as we see with Annyong, if someone is competition, Buster usually gets much more territorial. But yah, I do think Buster genuinely looks up to Gob and admires him. I wrote a whole thing about it but they’re so similar in a lot of ways(I also hc Buster to be autistic, which I’d be kinda surprised if that wasn’t an intentional choice because a lot of his idiosyncrasies particularly reflect it so, like, if not, wow, that’s some accurate unintentional autistic coding) and they’d get along so well if Gob wasn’t so defiant towards the idea. But I think the adventures and development we see them have does reflect to them having a sort of friendship that was probably more active during childhood. Now, it would still have been very much so, like, Gob being like, “You suck and are a nerd,” and Buster making a noise of disappointment but I think they had bonding moments within that.
I feel like Buster is very good at listening. I mean, he has to listen to Lucille all day long and he’s chill with that and I think it’s also just a part of who he is. While Michael absolutely is Gob’s main sibling who he goes to for comfort/is willing to open up to, Michael still is not the best at comforting(not meant as Michael slander, he’s trying his best, heh). Buster, on the other hand(specifically referencing back to the “I totally freaked out scene”) is very gentle and he listens. He doesn’t try and solve the problem. He doesn’t bash Gob for freaking out. He doesn’t act like he’s better than him cause, god knows, he’d probably freak out too if he was being questioned by prosecutors. He just nods along and kindly validates Gob, not deeming his freaking out a good or a bad thing. It just happened and, yah, that’s no fun, huh? He, I think, is the one sibling who understands Gob. He is the one sibling who cries alongside him(the Tiny Town episode, in fact, Buster is the one to start crying first). He is the one sibling who is truly supportive of his magician career. I think Buster sees a lot of himself in Gob and while he’d never admit to it, I think Gob sees a lot of himself in Buster too.
also, wondering what would happen should gob cry in front of tony)
I feel like Gob would try(key word: try) to hide a lot of his emotional, “too much” side because he wouldn’t wanna scare Tony away but the first time something like that happens, he’d see that Tony isn’t weirded out or scared away. He understands him and if he doesn’t, he works to get an understanding and then he understands him. I feel like recognizing that someone would be willing to stick by him even with all of, well…him coming along with that would take getting used to but even with that, it would make him incredibly happy, heheh.
i am so interested in this be "i do think tony saved his life indirectly" resonates with me so much, i would love to hear you expand your thoughts if you want, its just, yeah, yeah he did. gob is so vulnerable, and far past beyond the point of caring. he is so dependent on forget me nows, he is just, so alone, and then theres tony and suddenly he has purpose
its just- the fact that gob was willing to run away with tony essentially. on the parade float, he was so ready, and its just- its everything michael has threatened but been unable to follow through with, and here gob was, actually able to be willing to do it, for and with tony.
Finally! Huzzah! We’ve made it to the end, hehe. Let’s see how long this is, oy vey…
We see how Gob is with Tony having been and in the end, continuing to be in his life in season five. He’s acting marginally and comparatively better and is infinitely more patient and doesn’t lash out at Tony, which is astounding cause if these kinds of events happened in the earlier seasons, Gob would’ve lashed out. And he helps Tony get out of his contract with the Gay Mafia, a totally unselfish action that no one asked him to do and he didn’t expect or demand anything out of Tony in return. He just did it cause he loved Tony. People, outside the family, are much more tolerant of Gob and that speaks to better behavior, on top of the better behavior that we see. There’s even a moment in the finale where Gob calls out to Michael in a very genuine tone and I think he was trying to get his attention so he could talk about the fact that Michael knows and maybe even apologize for giving him the forget-me-now. To quote Mitch Hurwitz on the subject, “Gob has gone over to the light side.”
But where would Gob be without him? Well, he’d be right back where he’d been for years, continuing to strive for support and love from abusive people who will never love him who keep him on a string of hope for their own personal use, treating him like he’s disposable, which he, in his actions, has come to agree with. He’d be trying to force himself to live a life he does not want to live and being eternally unhappy at himself and the world because of it. He’d continue to drive the last few people who were willing to stick by his side away. The tags are from a post talking about how it’s a miracle Gob has survived this long, kept “pep” in his step, kept moving forward, bouncing back, but if we’re not going on show logic but real life logic, how long could one realistically keep that up for? Gob has learned to be resilient but season four is such a dark pit for him where things are only going down, down, down further into a dark pit of isolation and someone like Gob who needs people, who’s always had someone to rely on, even if the support wasn’t top notch, is not exactly equipped to handle isolation. He’s someone who wavers so drastically in ability to function and be a person and needs those people to rely on when he again emerges from the pits of despair or comes back down from a blur of nights upon nights he hardly even remembers but now he has no one; at the very least, he’s close to it. STEVE of all people calls him out. Steve, his ever-understanding son who’s been willing to put up with his bullshit because he understands that deep down, his dad does care and that he is dealing with his own stuff, calls him out, and rightfully so.
I think the quote they play during Gob’s flashback to his time in the storage locker, which unironically is a contender for one of my favorite scenes in the show just because it’s so meaningful, sums it up well.
“You know, if tomorrow you won’t open up and let someone else in, then the treasures you have inside may never come out.”
That night, Gob’s arc with Tony starts. Gob was 100% already crushing on or even in love with Tony before this point in time but that night really solidified things for him. I mean, undeniably, from the start of his plan, he was hoping for Tony to notice him. He did not need to look gay, especially not single and gay to go in that club. At that point, his denial is already getting harder and harder to upkeep and he’s started to realize that he really will never find a woman who he’s attracted to. But it’s the flashback, the subconscious voice he heard, he has that really cements that in his mind. If he is not true to himself, true to the world, if he does let someone in, he will never be happy. The genuine kindness and love he holds inside of him, which we see glimmers of throughout the show, will stay locked inside of him forever.
And to focus on my specific verbiage, it’s indirect because, well, obviously, Tony didn’t literally save Gob from a near death experience. But even so, Tony didn’t make Gob change. Tony did show him kindness, he showed him understanding, unconditional love, love that didn’t stop when you were being “too much” or weird or unconventional. But Gob still had all the opportunity in the world to further fester in his arrested development(hey that’s the name of the show!). As I said, it’s not like Tony is the first person who’s been nice to Gob. The combination of forced reflection from not being able to take the forget-me-now, Tony’s love AND Gob actually loving him back made Gob ripe for change and he DID but that was a choice that he made. Gob chose to be better. He chose to take initiative, he chose to be patient, be kind, he chose to let Tony make the call on whether he wanted things to continue, on what he was comfortable with, because he was willing to compromise and wait for Tony to be ready, possibly even lose him, because he loved him and cared about him and that’s what you do when you love someone. He just wanted Tony to be happy. And wildest of all, Gob was willing to leave his family, the people he’d been working to get the approval of for his entire life. He was willing to give up the chance at getting his father’s approval in particular, we could even lump Michael in there too. He was willing to try to start to deal with the hard reality that he was gay and that he loved Tony when all he’d ever done in his life is avoid it and practically everything else about himself. It’s astounding, really.
It really is wild to me how this isn’t talked about more when season five is discussed. Like, obviously, in the AD spaces I most frequent, people recognize this but…Like…My friend told me she watched a video talking about the entirety of Arrested Development and they didn’t delve into anything about this when it’s the kind of thing they would usually talk about and like- Guys, this show is called Arrested Development and not only did one of them actually show growth but out of all of them, it was Gob??? And also it happened in a plot line where Gob is gay and in love with Tony Wonder??? Like, how is this not, like…It’s so amazing!
ANYWAY, I’m cutting myself off here. Again, it was an absolute treat reading your response. You have such incredible insights to the show and I was literally, like, yessing all throughout it, hehe. You mentioned messaging me about the fic and stuff and please feel free to! Little known fact about me, might not have noticed this(/s), but I LOVE talking about Arrested Development so if you(or anyone else who sees this, heh) ever wanna talk about literally anything related to Arrested Development, I will be nothing but over the moon about it, heheh.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
Honestly one of my favorite parts of arrested development—and something I wished we had more of—is the relationship between Maeby and Gob.
See the thing is, they’re so similar! They have their schemes, theyre liars, arguably the most chaotic members of the Bluth family, and they’re also often the forgotten/overlooked child. (Also some flavor of gay- bi maeby truther)
But it’s more than that! My favorite part of the last two seasons is obviously the Blunder but what I also loved is how the narrative was now widened and following the different members of the family.
We got to see what Gob gets up to when he’s away from his family, when in the previous seasons it wasn’t always clear/the family didn’t know and didn’t want to know
And sometimes I really wish we had some of that in the earlier seasons if only so I could see all the Maeby and Gob interactions that go on unnoticed. I mean. Gob knows about Maeby’s job making movies. ("uncle gob?" *gob pauses in trying to throw a sick cat overboard/hiding from said cat* "maeby?") And, he voiced (or rather Will Arnett did) the voice over for a Gangie movie.
During the inner beauty contest/pageant Gob is the one who recognizes Maeby and asks her who her favorite family member is (a friend of mine theorized that question was asked without him knowing it was Maeby and he’s just a dumbass like that, which I agree he would be a dumbass like that but I have to believe he recognized her)
And idk, I just really love the dynamic they got going. They’re so similar and chaotic and I would have loved to see some uncle-niece shenanigans.
(That being said I also loved uncle-nephew shenanigans and I miss the George Michael and Gob interactions too. George Michael being awed by Gob’s magic was so sincere and beloved by me)

His Firsts
When he first came to
Leonardo startles. There’s a commotion but nothing registers besides white noise.
He’s dead. He knows this deep in his soul. His heart no longer beats and the floor feeling like an afterthought, as if the earth it’s self was a fleeting memory.
The afterlife is colorful. And loud.
He gets up, only for his eyes to be bombarded with green light.
His instincts tell him to assess the situation.
He appears to be in a collapsing building; there are only two people in it. And neither of them pay any attention to him despite being in there direct line of sight, only confirming his beliefs.
He is indeed dead, but his apparition is among the living.
He just wants to see his father already.
The two people are yelling at each other. They both tower a staggering six feet.
Leonardo takes a deep breath. Not that he needs the oxygen, but he needs to calm himself. He needs to get out of the fighting for your life headspace.
He needs to not think about he’s a failure. He can’t think about his brothers, oh god his brothers-
Pieces of rubble phase through his spirit. The guy with horns and goat legs runs toward the exit, while the rat looking man is furiously dodging the falling bits of the ceiling.
Leonardo squints at the rat man. He seems to be holding something, and his distress makes the hero in Leo want to help him.
Then he sees what he has in his arms.
Four turtles.
Then it clicks.
He won’t be able to move on to the afterlife, because he’s not in his dimension. He’s witnessing the origin story of another Hamato clan.
He doesn't know what compels him to follow this Spliter.
That's a lie. He wants to see his family again.
The first difference
This Splinter is different.
If you forget the fact that Leo’s hands tremble whenever this one speaks, Leo feels sorry for him.
(This first time he heard his voice, he had a breakdown. Not that anyone could see.)
They are camped in an alleyway, his arsenal of stolen clothes swaddling both him and his turtles.
Babies are hard enough on there own, but four of them? While homeless?
The babies weren’t the only ones constantly crying. This Splinter’s hair is already going grey and Leo is pretty sure it hasn’t even been a month yet.
His rat features are becoming more obvious.
Leo has the suspicion that this Splinter used to be a movie star.
Leo has seen posters and DVD covers in the trash, starring a man that shares a striking resemblance to this Splinter. Sans the ears and tail of course. Not to mention for the first couple weeks, the only outfit he had was the one this ‘Lou Jitsu’ wore.
Leo can see the headline on the newspapers that he uses as a makeshift shelter, news of a missing action star, beloved by all.
His suspicions were confirmed in one of this Splinter’s breakdowns.
Usually, the turtles are pretty compliant, but babies can only cry, and when one cries, the rest follow suit.
“ I can’t do this.” The mutant rat grips his hair in frustration at the wails of the children, “ I can’t fucking do this,”
Leo can’t do nothing but watch as both parties meltdown.
“I DIDNT ASK FOR THIS!” Tears cascade down his cheeks, mirroring his young, “ FUCKING BIG MAMA, FUCKING YOKAI, FUCK, FUCK,FUCK, FUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKK!!!!”
His babies wail even louder. Leo just stands there useless.
The ratman freezes at the sound of a window opening, and rushes to scoop up the turtles.
Leo stays close behind.
They move to a different alleyway.
“Shush, shush, I’m sorry I’m sorry,” Splinter holds his sons close in a desperate effort to quiet their cries.
“I didn’t mean to yell, I-“ His voice breaks in his apology, “ I don’t know how to handle kids, fuck, I don’t know how to handle myself.”
“This whole time I’ve been running toward the limelight, but it always bites my in the ass, huh?” He starts to hum a Japanese lullaby.
Leonardo watches as the babies slowly fall silent.
“Guess Im a father now, huh?” Splinter let out a wet chuckle.
Leo gets the closest he’s ever gotten to this Splinter and takes a seat against the wall right next to him.
Despite his voice, and despite Leonardo’s own heavy heart at this similar yet so different image of his family, he smiles.
It’s not like anyone can see.
His first name
It’s been a month or two and he may have been wrong. About the whole no one being able to see.
The turtles, unlike him and his family are all different species.
They do not have names however, with Splinter calling them all “Little One”, or “My son,” and either addresses the one he’s holding or all of them as a whole.
But they are all different.
One is much bigger than the others, with spikes all up and down his body. He often bites the blankets and on some rare occasions, Splinters finger. The big one hardily makes a fuss though.
The same cannot be said for the smallest one. He is covered in warm colored speckles, and is half the size of his brothers. Yet he is somehow the loudest. He is constantly clinging on to someone, whether it be his brothers or Splinter.
Another one if the turtles has a softshell. Leonardo was flabbergasted at this, none of any other dimensions had a softshell turtle. He’s never even seen a wild one, let alone one as a mutant. Both Leonardo and Splinter worry the most about him.
Then there is the one who has red stripes. The one that Leonardo is almost certain can see him. He is often climbing over his brother and causes mischief, and pushes his brothers over. He’s often smiling and enjoys pulling on Splinters fur.
But what scares him is the way the red striped turtle looks at him. Not through him. At him. He looks him is the eyes, looks him up and down, and the scariest thing of all is that he reaches for him.
Leonardo doesn’t know what to do. So he keeps his distance.
He’s gotten used to the whole ghost thing, where no one could see him.
It was lonely but he was used to it after a while.
But now one of the turtles can see him.
He now looks to him when he cries, when he’s climbing on the big ones back, he smiles at him from Splinter’s lap.
It’s all very terrifying.
Especially when, he pushed one of his brother and listened when Leonardo on reflex said no.
So that’s Leo’s life now, following Splinter as he raises four nameless turtles.
That may have something to do with Splinters terrible eyesight.
Leo has the suspicion that Splinter has near-sightedness.
He can only read the news with his eyes nearly closed and millimeters away from his face. He doesn’t see the profanities on the alley walls, that make Leonardo worry, will the children learn that language?
He also is only able to tell the turtles apart once they are in his face or in his hands, “Ah!, you’re the big one!” He has to feel the turtles to differentiate them, and when they’re together he addresses them as a whole.
His suspicions are confirmed when Splinter finally loses it one July, “You’re all growing old now, how am I going to be able to tell you apart?” He grumbles and grabs his hair in frustration.
Leonardo is worried. What will Splinter do when they can walk? If only one is doing something dangerous how will be able to tell that specific turtle to stop? Leonardo feels a heavy weight in his gut at the possibilities.
He’s snapped out of it with a lound ripping sound.
In an act that is most certainly considered illegal, and probably come off as a hate crime, Splinter rips a rainbow pride flag hanging from a store front.
“HEY!” An angry voice emerges from in inside the store.
Splinter scrambles for his children as he scurries away.
Only the red-eyes child can see Leonardo following.
When the chase is seemingly over, Splinter find a different alleyway and takes a seat.
Leonardo doesn’t know what to think. Why would he steal a pride flag?
He is given the answer with Splinter ripping each stripe apart.
He accidentally makes a rip right through the yellow and green stripe and he tsks.
“Didn’t need all seven anyway,” Splinter grumbles under his breath.
He then pulls all of the turtles out of their cardboard box, awaking them from their slumber.
Leonardo takes a seat as he watches the turtles each stir and whimper. The softshell seems particularly upset and is trying to go back in the box, but to no avail.
The small one then starts whimpering as he is taken off the biggest brother.
Splinter take the red stripe and ties it like a ribbon around the big one’s neck.
“Red,” he then places him in the cardboard box.
He then grabs the smallest turtle and shushes his whimpers. He gently ties the orange stripe around his neck.
“Orange,” he places him right on top of his brother.
The red-striped one realizes the fastest way in the box is through Splinter, and he reaches for him.
“Blue,” the turtle practically scrambles to be a part of the turtle party in the box.
A loud cry comes the softshell, still going at the wall of the box, watching all his brothers go in but unable to.
“Shush, shush” Splinter gently picks him up. The turtle is awake enough to squirm when he ties the last color.
Splinter, despite cutting an indigo stripe forgoes it completely as he tied the purple stripe around his son.
“Purple” He whispers and puts his child in the box with the rest.
Leonardo feels his heart beat heavily in his chest, despite not having one. Of course.
Splinter smiles and points to each of his children, “Red, Orange, Purple, Blue,”
Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo. He realizes.
The same colors.
It may not be the same but nothing here is.
He swallows the lump in his throat as Blue smiles at him.

One Fin Wonder
Tumblr media
Welcome to one fin wonder! This is the first chapter of this series!
content warning!: swearing? Mentions of blood, homeless child, reader is 14-15!
Okay..here we go!
Well then!- you didn't order a wake up call...literally..
"..y/n?" Oh its Sam! Wonder if we'll hang out today-
"I'm moving."
.
What?
Oh shit.
Holy shit no no no.
Sam was the only friend you could go to- THE ONLY PERSON YOU KNEW IF THIS BLOODY TOWN.
Whew..okay.,calm down..maybe it's a joke...Sam jokes alot so it has to be!
"Ahah..haha..hah.. g-good one Sam " you laughed, trying to make it seem like you weren't about to cry.
"What?..what do you mean 'good one's? nothing about this is good y/n!" "Okay! I'm sorry..I thought you were joking.."
Well shit.
"Okay..well?" "I- I'm sorry I have to pack." -beep!-
...
Well this isn't how you thought your summer would start.
Okay well! Time to go search for a job!!..again
You started walking towards the old lady who had always had you help with her cats, you were glad to help, but today was payday! Of 20 dollars but- you could get some food with that!
"Hello Candice! How are the kitties?" The old lady turned around to see you and smiled "oh hello lovey! Goodness you're getting tall heheh, we-well here's your 20 dollars dearie" she handed it to you and before you walked away "buy yourself something to eat sugar!"
"I will think you miss Candi-" and then you bumped into someone
"Shit sorry! My bad" you help the old man up and grab his weird looking cane..
"No no child forgive me, I was just looking at the kittens, you must be working here is that it?" He spoke with a harsh voice, refering to the old lady's shop.
"Oh no! Im just a helper, that's all"
"Helper?..yes..you will do good child"..ew.
"Yeah..aheh.. I gotta go sorry about the bump sir!" You speed walked away and could feel his eyes staring at you from afar.
You end up at some fish shop and see a help wanted poster in the window
"Nice!" You whisper to yourself as you walk in
"Hello there!" Said a woman from behind the counter on the right "be right with you"
You stand there and see all the little fishies swimming about
"Okay love what can i help you with?" "Oh I'm here for the help wanted?"
Her eyes lit up, must be hard working in a fish shop alone
"Oh yes! Thank you! We'll get right to it!" "I-- wait- I don't have to sign anything?"
"Well it's not that hard to take care of fish love, just feed em and watch them swim about their sad little lives!" Heh funny
After she showed you around, she said she was gonna close up shop for the day before-
"Hey uh excuse me?" Oh? First customer!
"Yeah uh do you have a goldfish with one fin?"..one fin? Any other gold fish and he wants one with one fin?...okay
"Uh sir? We have plenty more gold fish with two fins-" "no I need one with one fin!"..
"Sir, please calm down or we'll have to ask you to leave" "okay yeah uh...just give me a goldfish..and hurry, please."
You went to get the gold fish and hand it to the man "here you are sir, a gold fish with two fins! Take care!" He payed you
"Shit let's hope so." and just like that he was gone.
"Weirdo" said the woman
"Maybe he needs it for..something? Art?" You said
"Yeah..anyways darling here's your pay" she hands you a check for 50 dollars
"I- OH MY GOD!" You damn near yelled
She looks at you with confusion as you let out a nervous laugh
"Sorry..I just didn't expect this much holy cow!" "You've done well for you first day on the job!" She pats you on the shoulder
"Now let's go before some other weirdo comes for a blue puffer fish!"
Later that evening you had went to look for a place to settle, when you couldn't find you decind to cross the towns, you went into an alley way and hurried because you didn't want to die in there.
Qnd you came out safely until some random woman wondered up to you qnd asked for you hands, you thought she was gonna rob you so you politely declined, you started to walk way
When you felt her hands grab you and pull you into the alley way.. fucker.
She shoves you against the wall and roughly grabbed your hands
Suddenly, a man in a white suit and cape, came down from the ceiling, and tossed the woman across the alley way, his fists were bloody, and dripping
You sat there, terrified, holy shit, this was how you were gonna die, oh my god.
The man spoke "hey kid you okay?" He sounded familiar?
"Uh..yeah.. just winded I think I'll be okay" "okay, you got a place to stay? Anywhere to go?"..."no"...
"Okay then come with me". He grabbed you hand as gently as he could as he had the feeling they'd be sore tomorrow
He led you in front of a flat, you walked to the front and turned around "hey man thanks-"..he was gone.
After you went in to apply, you promised you'd have more money to pay off the rent
It was a big flat honestly
Just a bed which was fixed pretty good, and a fridge with a couple of food left, you threw out the expired stuff, and layer down
You began to charge your phone and set an alarm.
"7:00"
Okay.
This was your life now.
This is your home.
Can't believe this all happend in one day.
but.
What were you gonna do about it?
You worked at a fish shop
••••••••••
Holy shit, omg YAY :D
just a big thanks to @80pairsofcrocs for the name, and the courage, they're honestly the best person I've met on this app, and I gotta say, I really do love you guys, it may not seem like much here but thank you, seriously <3

God im just posting about Helluva Boss all day huh.
I see a lot of people screaming and crying about Stella. Some how some shit is sexist when there is a literal women writing the show.
There were multiple ways Stella and Stolas relationship could have been written.
One of mutual understanding that they may not love eachother but they stick together for the child and ya know rich people bullshit. End resulting in Stolas cheating.
Theres a reality where Stolas was a shit bag and was just having a affiar and hid it from Stella the whole time.
But neither of those are the case, the end result is that Stolas and Stella were in a relationship that neither liked. And instead of Stella being chill, she abused Stolas. Even if later on its explained Stella had a rough childhood. That would only explain her issues not justify her actions.
Because heres the kicker; in that rant Stolas says he tried. He tried to make their life comfortable. If it turns out Stella is this way because of abuse herself. You'd think after 25 years of waiting for Stolas to turn out like her abusive brother or father she would have realized. OH he wasnt trying to just simply play nice and wait for my gaurd to lower.
It sounds like Stolas is has a lot more to lose than Stella does. She seems even petty about it. If anything her reputation and pride has been irreparately damaged because she openly gloated about not being divorced. Like what the fuck!? AGAIN! Even if it turns out she was truamatized as a child. That doesn't justifying nor excuse any of what she did. Shit Stolas looked at the paper to see she posted about a fucking party! She didnt even tell him and then she barely even invites him even tho its in his fucking house. STELLA WHAT THE FUCK GIRL?! She talks about how he barely wants to fuck her. And if you really pay attention she talks about how he just lays there and stares at a wall. Now you could chalk this up to him being gay or as I took it Stella never made him feel wanted. Thus sex was not a thing done willingly. Shit when Stolas tries to get Blitz to fuck him through all of that. He says no made me feel wanted nothing about whether it had to be a man or not. Just someone to care about him. (Vizie could have confrimed his sexuality but on my view this felt very demi for Stolas).
Stolas as a grown adult can say now that Octavia 17 he no longer has to live this lie of being together. Like this is super common in abusive relationships with kids. This isn't a slight to Octavia, Stolas is more than just her father hes is his own person. His rant doesnt mean he stopped loving her or it was a lie. It means her life wont be shatted because a teen can understand why mother and father divorced. While a small baby could not understand and would cause a bunch of stress.
Stella has done nothing to warrent sympathy now. And everyone chomping at the bit for like an excuse. You can like villians this whole ass site is made up people who love the bad guy. Stella is the antagonist you can enjoy that like damn.
Also I hate the uwu they are in hell no one is good. Okay listen- its basic fuckng writing to have a character you can sympathize with. If everyone sucked you wouldnt be watching the show. You have to connect with someone or it doesnt matter. If theres a story about 4 killers and they all kill nothing happen and they toture innocent people all day. You'd be like this is toture porn and boring. But if one is homeless and was abused. You suddenly start carring, its not even that hard to understand.

flashfam and birdflash because im WEAKKK
so barry and iris take wally in because rudy is a FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT
lets imagine this happens early teens or so
wally never even comes out to his dad because he just. Knows exactly what his parents would think
he kind of. subtly tried to bring it up with his mom but she made her opinion Pretty Damn Clear so wally is like great this is awesome
as a result of both the superspeed + switching cities + adhd wally has practically 0 friends growing up which really concerns barry and iris
so barry is like, babe, i have a fantastic idea, im going to set up a playdate with batmans kid
and iris is like I GUESS
(also the way wally behaves in a relationship is 100% modeled after barry and iris because they literally have the perfect relationship. see exhibit a) babe as a pet name)
((this is also probably why hes a little upset when he finds out about barry and hal because its like. you think you understand your parents and then they hit you with this massive bombshell that kind of forces you to change your whole perception of them? and even though nobodys done anything wrong its still really upsetting? and maybe if wally had known earlier that barry was bi wally wouldnt have been so fucking stressed out about coming out?))
anyways. robin and kid flash playdate. a meeting for the ages.
wally gets a crush like. right away but doesnt realize so he oscillates WILDLY between being REALLY nice to robin and also being kind of fucking mean lol wally was very much pulling robins pigtails
like one day wally shares half his ants on a log that iris made him with robin and then the next he puts gum in robins hair and robin cries while alfred cuts it out
robin is like UGH kid flash is SO MEAN and bruce is like you dont have to hang out with him and robin is like NO IM GONNA
wally gets out of the mean phase quickly though lol
barry and iris realize right away its a crush and are like aw cute but then it... doesnt go away... ever...
so then they go REALLY hard on the PFLAG thing and keep like brochures and pride flags EVERYWHERE which actually does make wally a lot more comfortable
when wally comes out they all cry lol
wally calls barry and iris uncle and aunt but when hes much older he switches between aunt/uncle and mom and dad
anyways when dick leaves bruce/is fired/complicated feeling stuff dick spends most of his time at titans tower BUT also spends a significant amount of time at barry and iris' place
because the westallen household is adhd central, dick actually learns a lot of tips for dealing with his own adhd from them
dick is trying to Figure out his place in the world so he actually gets really into the journalism scene for a while because of both iris and clark
iris: hi this is my nephew, dick, hes my intern :)
clark: no, this is MY nephew, hes MY intern :)
lois bugs bunny meme: OUR nephew-intern
wally Does Not get it at all bcus he is 100% a STEM kid but hes still like i support you babe :^)
barry and iris LOVE dick. dick doesnt really open up about his situation but they kind of get the gist so barry is like. really annoyed with batman whenever they have to work together
iris writes a very scathing series of articles about the batman of gotham and dick is very vindictively pleased
dick actually finds out about hal and barry first bcus he comes downstairs and theyre making out on the couch and and dick is like UHHHH and halbarry are like UHHHHHHHH and dick is like I AM CALLING IRIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW and halbarry are like NO ITS COOL
iris is like. Mom supreme. dick for the past decade has had like no mother figures (selina doesnt really count because her and bruce are messyyyyy) so he both really wants iris's affection and also gets really overwhelmed by it
also barry. like, isnt emotionally constipated? wally tells dick that the west allens have weekly dinners where they talk about whats up with them and their feelings and dick is like aw thats cute and then wally is like dick u should join us and dick is like WAIT NO THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT
so dick is now required to be at family dinners once a month and talk about his feelings which is both exhausting and liberating
barry cries at the wedding and iris is like I Am Not Crying How Dare You Imply That I Am.
bruce and iris. the most begrudging in-laws. everytime bruce sees iris hes immediately reminded of the phrase "The Batman is a violent, depressed loner who gets his thrills by beating up homeless people and drug addicts." and its like jesus fucking christ iris way to gut the man
iris 100% uses the fact that shes dick graysons mother-in-law aunt-in-law to get sources. its a dog-eat-dog world out there, kid.
dick adores the twins bcus he loves babies
wally gets SO annoyed by bart its very funny to dick. wally and dick both grew up as only children but dick has had more time to adjust to having siblings so hes much more fond of bart than wally initially is

Vampire! King! Ardyn Izunia!- Sadistic
Hey guys! Let’s kick off October with a bang!!! 
ANON ASKS (HEY FRIEND)
Sooo Ardyn is a guilty pleasure of mine. Feel free to do what you want with these prompts, I won’t judge lol. They are all from the prompt list.
7. You like when I choke you don’t you?
62. What a gorgeous dress…but it’d look better torn to ribbons don’t you think?
70. You know…it’s dangerous being out like this. A pretty little sla- I mean thing like you out here all alone.
Thank you for including the actual prompt in the ask!! I may or may not have made him slightly sadistic. Also I got a rude ask telling me to put a read more break...so on purpose I didn’t add one here. It pays to be polite.
CHECK OUT MY MASTERLIST HERE!!
X RATED PROMPT LIST| NON X RATED PROMPT LIST
Leggo!!
...
The hem of your gown was torn to shreds as you ran through the forest. You were barefoot running through the cold and wet dirt. Your feet were starting to itch from the scratching of small twigs against your skin. You were running away from your parents’ palace. 
You were to be married to someone. Someone you were disgusted by. You had two options. Marry or Be disowned. You chose to escape through your window and jump down. You almost hurt yourself on the way down, but it was worth it. 
You had been running for what felt like hours with the moon on your tail. You finally stopped as soon as your palace was nothing but a silhouette in the distance. 
“Guess I’m homeless now.” you sighed, sitting on a small log. “What am I supposed to do?” you groaned. It was dark and you could barely make out the moon amongst the smog. Lucky for you the wind was slightly picking up allowing you to feel the breeze on your skin.
“What’s this?” a low vibrating tone allowed you to come back to your senses. 
You instantly rose to your feet, turning to meet the face of tall man. He looked as if he was dressed for the middle of the winter time with his heavy trench coat and scarf. 
“A scared little lamb all by herself in such a place. You’re a long way from home aren’t you, young one?”
“Don’t speak down on me as if I’m a child, sir.” you narrowed your eyebrows at the strangers. “I’m far from it.”
“Hm.” he smirked. “My apologies.” he gave a slight bow. “What’s a young soul like you doing out in these parts so late in the night?”
“I don’t believe that is any business of yours, sir.” you took a step back. “Now I’ll be taking my leave now.” your voice wavered as you turned aroundd. But just as you turned to walk away, a man, the same man appeared before you.
“ You know…it’s dangerous being out like this. A pretty little sla- I mean thing like you out here all alone. “ he said with his hand held out. “If I may be so bold, I can escort you out of these parts.” his eyes practically glowed in the dark.
“No thank you.” you stepped back. “I know my way very well, thank you.”
Just as you turned around again, he appeared in front of you once more.
“Darling little girl-”
“Don’t call me a little girl!” you seethed.
“Hm, touchy are we. Young one doesn’t like being called a pathetic...little...girl.” he towered over you. “And don’t even think about grabbing the dagger I know is strapped to your thigh...you won’t get to use it.”
“What are you?” your voice slightly wavered.
“Ardyn Izunia...is what I am.”
Ardyn, where have you heard that name. The man seemed to laugh as the look of realization crossed your face. King Ardyn? The ‘Father’ of all vampires. He cackled at your fear struck expression. Your father had told you stories of his evil. 
“Ah the young princess Y/N knows of me?”
“How did you-”
“Know your name, love? Everyone knows of the, most beautiful, kindest and giving of her time. You should know better, how forgetful we are.” he raised an eyebrow.
“You stay away from me.” you warned. 
“Hm are you’re guards going to come and kill me, love?”
“I have no guards...not anymore.” you found yourself saying. You had your hand on your thigh under the slit of your dress. You wrapped your hand around your dagger. “Leave me...now.”
“Hm...anymore? Why? Was the little princess disowned?” he laughed. “Did their royal highnesses finally get rid of their problem child?”
You suddenly felt small and inadequate. “That’s none of your business.”
“Oh yes you have.” he took a step towards you. “You’re all alone, with no one?” he cooed. “Which means there’s no one to hear you scream.”
“Hear me sc-”
You were tackled to the floor, your weapon flying out of your hand. Ardyn bared his fangs towards you...” You like when I choke you don’t you? “ he cackled as he tightened his hands around your throat. You felt dizzy, very...fucking..dizzy.
”I must admit, darling girl...you look so delectable. It’s a shame I must kill you...but a vampire must drink.” he moved his hands from your neck allowing you to inhale sharply.
With his arm wrapped around your wrist and bought your shaky arm to his mouth. You were too frozen to even try and move. Adryn inhaled your scent, smiling sadistically down at you. 
You held in your pain as he sunk his needle like fangs into your skin. You wouldn’t scream or cry.
“...So...divine.” the man shuddered. “S-so...addicting.” Was that normal? 
You had no idea why, but feeling this. It was supposed to be painful, it was supposed to be what happened before you died a terrible death. So why were you seeing images...images you shouldn’t have seen.
...
“You look so beautiful in the sun, my darling.” the man beside you caressed your face as you both laid in the gardens. “You are the most beautiful of my fledglings.”
“I’d just better be the only one you treat like this.”
“Trust me darling, there are other people who will sire for me...my fangs will only ever touch your skin...when I’m not feeding or killing.” he smirked. “Come, it’s been a busy day. Lay your head on my chest...rest with me.”
You laid on his chest, the sun casting a glare over your naked bodies. “Can I ask you a question, Ardyn? Is this whole laying naked in the sun a regular thing?”
“Clothes are for humans with no free time...Now hush my dear...rest.”
...
and everything else went black.
...
You awoke on a plush surface. It was soft and velvety. A large, black comforter was covering your body. 
“Oh fuck, am I dead?” was your first thought. You swung your legs around the bed and planted your feet on the floor. Why were you so cold. You walked over to a vanity, standing in front of a mirror. Your arm was bandaged up. “No...I’m not dead.”
“You’re finally awake.”
You whipped around. Ardyn was sitting in an armchair wearing only a silk bathrobe. “I was beginning to think you’d never wake up.”
“W-what? What did you do to me?”
“I didn’t kill you, I know that much.” he rose from his seat.
“What?...Where am I??”
“My home...well. Our home now.” he walked towards you. “I know what you’re thinking-”
“You saw it too didn’t you?” you cut him off. “I know you know what it means...so tell me.”
“I’m not sure...all I know is that I couldn’t kill you. Before I knew it, I bit my own hand and made you take my own blood...I’ve never done that when changing someone.”
“Changing?!” you widened your eyes. “You...you PEICE OF!” you raised your fist when you realized just how clearly you could make out every crevice and divot on your hand and nails. “N-no this isn’t real!”
“Oh it is, my sweet.” he tiptoes his fingers up arm. You took a small step back, staring down at yourself. 
“ What a gorgeous dress…but it’d look better torn to ribbons don’t you think? “ he grabbed your hands in his. “Stop resisting and accept your new fate.”
“I feel strange.” you expressed honestly. “Is it supposed to feel like this?” you stared up at him.
He tilted your head up, staring at your innocence. 
“It can feel even better. Vampires are godly lovers...very few have laid with me...if you agree, you can be mine.”
(HAVE ANY MONBSTER REQUESTS? LET ME KNOW!!! IM TRYNA POST AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THIS MONTH!!)
