🫃🫃🫃🫃🫃 pleeease

Let's have some babies!!

“Baby, if Tommy says Buck’s fine, then he’s fine. Stop stressing.” “Eddie has never been stress-free a day in his life,” Tommy teases with a grin. “I feel like that’s a lot to ask.” The universe must take a brief moment of pity on Eddie, as Shannon’s witty response is stopped in its tracks. A look of discomfort flickers across her face, and she presses the heel of her hand to her abdomen with a wince. “Is that another contraction?” Eddie asks, immediately on high alert. He knew there was something going on with Shannon, his body feeling tense and on edge around her. And his instincts haven’t been wrong yet. “Eddie, I swear to God, if you ask me that again,” Shannon grits, her teeth clenched with discomfort. She puffs out a short breath and twists in her seat, a small whine issuing from the back of her throat. “I’m going to ask you that until the baby is in my arms,” Eddie retorts. He reaches over and stretches his fingers over Shannon’s belly again, and this time her abdomen is firmer, like an over-inflated beach ball. “This definitely feels stronger than a Braxton Hicks.” Shannon hangs her head back, resting it on the back of the couch, and Tommy gently runs his fingers through her hair as he comes to stand behind her.

Hello my love my darling my AU partner in crime.

Can I pretty please request some words from the beloved Buddietommyshannon fic? I'll take any scenes you're willing to share 🙏

Hello dearest darling BESTie. You may request and receive. Please have Tommy panicking about the How and Shannon teasing the hell out of him (with so much love) 🫶💖

“Uh, help? With what exactly?” Right. That would be useful information wouldn’t it? Sometimes he forgets that other people aren’t privy to the spirals happening in his brain. He picks at a loose thread on his flannel overshirt, stalling for time. “I’ve been doing some thinking. About what’s going to happen. About you and Evan. I obviously know what I’m doing with Evan, but- I wanna- Fuck, why is this so hard to say?” “Oh, I get it,” Shannon sing songs, like the brat she can be. She sits back, one elbow resting on the top of the chair. “You-” Her voice dips absurdly low and sultry while she gives him over the top bedroom eyes and sweeps her free hand over her belly, “want to put a baby in this. Don’t you?”  He purses his lips, throwing her his best faux glare while trying not to burst out laughing. “I hate you so much.” “No you don’t. You loooove me,” she teases, barely containing the smirk showing through.  “Fine! I admit it. I, Thomas Kinard, want to help with the Shannon Diaz baby agenda. Sue me.” “So, what’s the problem?”  “Other than the fact that I don’t have sex with women?” He levels her with what she calls his ‘Bitchy Gay’ face, both eyebrows raised and head tilted in a way that ‘screams condescending’. “Did you need another reason or…?”

Captain MacTavish is the kind of man to let you speak your mind and opinion freely in the grips of a heated argument.

If he can bellow his frustrated baritone in the midst of a rage, then so should you in your own distinctive finesse and irritated grace.

Although, it always seems to end in you gasping on your words by eating into the pillow pushed into your face.

Stifling a moan as he ruts his hips relentlessly against your ass. His hands tightly gripped into your waist, muffled praises at how proud he is of you mingled into the choked grunts as your silken walls clench around his engorged cock.

Today, Mike had woken up on the wrong side of his bed so he was especially vicious as he ranted about anything he found irritating about Steve.

He hadn't even reached the midpoint when Dustin decided to rip him a new one. Which, yeah, was fair because he didn't usually do Steve that dirty. But his bad mood had taken over and he found himself arguing with Dustin.

"It's not like you don't gripe about him every day," Mike retorted heatedly. "In fact, you are the one making fun of him the most out of everybody here," he gestured widely at the others (Lucas cringed, Will looked guilty, Max and Erica high-fived each other, El nodded calmly, Eddie just gave him a little wave).

"That's because I'm his brother," Dustin said matter-of-factly while adopting Steve's signature mom pose. "But who are you? You're just his ex's brother. Without Nancy, you're just a random kid to him."

(Eddie, Max, and Erica looked at each other with the same smirk. "Oh, that burns."

Lucas just sighed helplessly as Will and El watched on in amusement.)

Mike's nostril flared indignantly. He would never ever admit this, but while he thought Steve was lame and an idiot sometimes, he respected Steve plenty. Not enough to admire, but enough to fight Dustin for him.

"So what? I know him longer than you," Mike fired back. "I have more M&M's and 3 Musketeers from him than you do, I played baseball with him every weekend, and I also watched Star Wars with him."

"You do understand what ex means, right?" Dustin narrowed his eyes at him. "Nancy's his ex-girlfriend, ergo you're his ex-something, ergo you need to stop living in the past. You know why? Because I," Dustin pointed at himself smugly, "am his favorite now. I'm the present and the future. His shotgun, his house, his pool, his snack cupboard will forever be mine, thank you very much."

And just like that, all hell broke loose.

Because not even Will was willing to accept that bullshit. Steve never had a favorite, okay? As their babysitter, he wasn't allowed to.

"What the fuck are you fighting for?" Mike glared at Erica who was (impressively) making Dustin wail like Mew on the floor.

"Steve still owes me a lifetime of free ice cream, duh," she looked at him like he was an idiot. "Stop talking shit and come help me."

A wise man once said: "Enemy's enemies are friends."

So it only took Mike a second to give her a hand.

———

"Why didn't you stop them?" Steve asked in exasperation, thinking about the fistfight that would've taken place in the Wheelers' basement had he not interfered on time.

"'Cause the more they eliminate among themselves," Eddie leaned in closer and whispered conspiratorially, "the less I gotta fight to keep you."

"But I'm their babysitter," Steve pushed him away with a finger on the forehead. "And you're supposed to make it easier for me, not harder."

"Sweetheart," Eddie grabbed his wrist and nuzzled his nose into it, "Just say the word and I'll make something harder for you right now."

"You're incorrigible," Steve rolled his eyes, but his pretty smile had betrayed his mood.

"Yeah, all because of you, baby," Eddie pressed his lips on the back of Steve's hand. "O prithee, my princess, give me the remedy."

"What if I don't have any?" Steve raised his brow.

"You do, darlin'," Eddie pulled him close and cradled his face. "My tonic is right here," a kiss on his forehead. "My joys," on his eyelids. "My happiness," on his his nose and then his mouth, "my love."

Later, when they cuddled in bed, sweet and tender after loving each other til midnight, he would tell Eddie there was no need to ask for him in the first place.

Because he had been Eddie's boy since the day the battle vest was draped on him.

It seemed Steve did have a favorite, after all.

Except, it was none of his kids.

Truly a tragedy.

Hi, Howdy! Hey! I really love your novel!! I got a little confused by the 4 day, may maybe you help me please? who is it? why we got the bad end staying the night in Ren’s apartment and he disappear of the home screen? I can’t understand “unset memory” game, sorry if I wrote smth wrong or smth sounds rude, I swear that I didn’t mean it if happened, I’m really a fan of the novel, I’ve been playing the game since day 1 or 2 I guess, probably day 1, english isn’t my first language, but I tried lol

⌞♥⌝ I hope you don't mind me answering these as bullet points!! ^^

"It" will be revealed later in the game! So I won't reveal too much right now.

You can only get the Dead End in Day 4 by staying at Ren's apartment — the rest of your choices before that don't matter. I'd also pay closer attention to the black smoke and Ren's reaction towards it!

Ren disappears from the home screen because he promised to help the player out (and stop them from getting the Dead End again). Try replaying the game again from the beginning for a surprise!

"Unsent Memories" was another visual novel (initially being written by @10chimes / @unsentmemory, though the project has since been dropped and handed back to me /pos) and is set in the same universe as 14 Days With You. Its storyline and characters are completely separate from 14DWY, so you don't have to worry about them while playing 14DWY.

what is the tommy/shannon dynamic in the polycule

Tommy and Shannon are partners, but not romantically. Tommy's gay, so he doesn't feel romantic love towards Shannon but my god does he love her platonically. They're best friends who have regular movie nights with cuddles and blankets. He's someone Shannon feels comfortable using as a sounding board or talking to, especially because he knows the trials and tribulations of dating Eddie Diaz and Evan Buckley and everything that comes with all that. Shannon is a big rom-com fan as well as Tommy is so they initially bonded over those and now they have regular movie nights when Buck and Eddie have overnight shifts and Tommy's home. Tommy is also the first person to run out and grab Shannon the stuff she's craving because he's the designated Snack Getter and he's got a whole big list of all the things she likes now. And Shannon loves to paint Tommy's nails when he's anxious and going through a biting phase - she gets a whole load of fun colours and gives him a bit of a spa day about it all.

Maybe it's a 'study finds water is wet' type of thought, but

considering it's an action movie whose overall plot is "immortal warriors Fuck Shit Up™️", I think it's significant that in The Old Guard the thing that makes Copley pull red strings through his Murder Conspiracy Board and say "[Merrick] doesn't care what [Andy]'s done with [her immortality]" is the people they save, not the ones they kill

Most of the Conspiracy Board is him circling random newspaper headlines and faces on old photographs to (more or less realistically) follow the immortals' treck through the world and big historical events. Which is, in-canon, not much different than putting portraits from different centuries next to a picture of Keanu Reeves and saying "they look the same, clearly Reeves is an immortal!"

But then there are the connections. A little girl holding Joe's hand in WW1 becoming the youngest (and first) woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize for Medicine (suck it, Kozak). Or the grandchild of a family that Andy saved from [something] helping people escape from the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia.

They are warriors. They have fought and been in the midst of countless wars, major or minor, throughout history. They must have killed as many people as they saved... and yet.

It's not them taking out a random warlord or dictator or rabidly hateful politician that has tangible repercussions in history. It's the children and families they get out of war zones, save from accidents, protect from natural disasters. People to whom they give a second chance at life, and grow to change the world (or even just their own world), like a mysterious stranger once changed theirs just by holding out a hand or patching a wound.

I don't know I just think it's particularly neat

i don’t think i’ll ever get over the way optimus’ voice breaks just slightly when he says “and you betrayed me.” optimus felt the need to make a distinction, because yes, d-16 betrayed cybertron, but somehow worse than that, he betrayed orion. and never in a million years would orion have thought his best friend would go that far. cybertron be damned, how could d-16 betray him? optimus reserved a small piece of selfish anger, just for them. he’s mourning his best friend, himself, and the life that they could have had.

Mcr, that one band where people get sad about voting on which member we like the most and which album we like the most, bc all the members are equally important and all albums are equally important so we try to figure out other ways to decide what we like the most, bc we suck at choosing between the four albums and the four members
