Just One More

virgin!eddie x fem!reader

You literally fall into Eddie's lap and after doing you a favor, you somehow become his first.

cw: MDNI (18+) smut (p in v)

The party is in full swing when you get there. This is the first one you’ve gone to alone since your messy break up and it feels weird but oddly freeing to not have anyone by your side. You had no one to answer to, to wait on and you didn’t have to worry about being abandoned so he could go talk with his friends and pretend like you didn’t even exist. 

But because you have the most terrible luck, you spot him in the kitchen, flirting with the exact guy that he always told you not to worry about. This all has to be some elaborate joke that life has decided to play on you, that’s the only thing that makes sense. Well, good for them. They deserve each other. 

You swear you see Johnny look your way and hurry into the living room, backing up as quickly as possible to make sure that they can’t see you, but of course, because this is all still some joke, you end up falling onto something, or rather, someone. A cute someone at that. He’s got curly, dark brown hair and the prettiest eyes you’ve ever seen. 

“I’m so sorry,” you apologize quickly. Instead of being offended like you assume he would be, he just smiles and it’s pretty. 

“I’m not,” he says, his voice taking on a flirty tone. Maybe life is actually starting to be kinder to you. 

“You’re not?” You ask, sitting up and the stranger just smiles wider. 

“Not at all. It’s not everyday a pretty girl literally falls into my lap.” Your cheeks heat at his compliment and you shyly turn away, only seeing that Johnny’s eyes have locked on yours. 

“Can I ask a huge favor?” He doesn’t even know you but is sure that he’d do whatever you asked. You’ve already bewitched him and he doesn’t even know your name. He always falls fast and hard and it never seems to get him anywhere. His heart always gets broken in the end. 

“Anything,” he breathes, not even caring how desperate he sounds. 

“My ex is over there and I really need you to kiss me,” you say, leaning closer and Eddie is standing to wonder what kind of dream he’s entered because surely something as perfect as this wouldn’t be real life, right?

“Sure,” he nods, his lips parting, and you slot yours between them as your arms wrap around his neck. One hand rests against your waist as the other cradles the back of your head. 

The kiss is soft and sweet, everything you could have ever hoped for. It’s like what you’ve seen in the movies but didn’t think was real. There’s a spark there and you already feel sad knowing that you’re going to have to break the kiss eventually. 

You stay like that for so long that you completely forget why you initially asked him, so caught up in his lips that you forget about everything else but him. And Eddie’s not even sure how he’s able to kiss you back since his mind is so fuzzy, no thoughts going on besides your lips. 

You’re straddling his waist now, kissing his neck and all he can do is whine, wanting more, needing more. You’re whispering the most filthy things into his skin. He wants to do everything you’re asking of him. He wants to fully submit to you. To be your good boy. 

“That’s a nice sound,” you tell him, your lips finding his again. “You wanna make it again? Maybe somewhere more private?” 

He wants to, he really does. But he’s never done that kind of thing before. Hell, he’s barely even kissed anyone before tonight so he’s sure that he’d have no idea what to do. You clearly seem to be much more experienced than him and he wouldn’t want to disappoint you. 

So he’s not sure why he agrees and lets you lead him up the stairs to an empty bedroom. His heart is pounding as you close the door then push him onto the bed. He knows he should say something, but his mind goes blank as you start to undress, your lacy bra making his cheeks flush. 

He just stays there, staring up at you as you move onto your jeans, giving him his own personal show and he’s not going to dare to tell you to stop. Especially not when he feels his pants getting tighter. 

He’s adorable, you think. He’s staring at you with drool practically falling from his lips and you wonder why he’s here alone tonight when any woman would be lucky to have him. He’s sweet and kind and you feel so grateful to have fallen into his lap. He’s unlike any guy you’ve ever met and you just know that he’ll be nothing but a gentleman when he finally gets you into bed. 

He’s staring intently, his pupils getting bigger so that his eyes look almost black and you decide that you need him and you need him now. and he needs you too considering how hard he is right now. 

You’re now just in your bra and panties and you make your way for him, placing yourself on top of him, kissing him until he’s breathless. Your hands slide up his shirt as your lips move to his neck again, pushing the shirt up slowly until you can get it over his head. 

“I-I’ve never done this before,” he says breathily. You’re quick to pull away, reaching for your clothes, but he stops you, taking your hands in his. “But I want you to be my first.” 

“You do?” You ask. “You don’t even know my name.” 

“I’m Eddie,” he replies with that pretty smile and you swear your heart melts for just a second. 

“Y/n.” 

“Y/n,” he repeats, putting emphasis on each syllable and it sounds so pretty coming out of his mouth. ”Now I do know your name and I still want you to be my first…if you want.” 

“I’m not very good, just so you know.” Those were the exact words that Johnny had said to you every time 

“How would I know?” He lets out a laugh and it makes your heart flutter. God, he’s perfect. He’s perfect and you’re probably never going to see him again. That’s why you’ve got to make tonight count. So you pull him in for another kiss, sticking your tongue into his mouth this time and he moans, loudly, a sound he’s only made when he was by himself. 

You begin to grind against him and now he’s whining into your mouth and the sound is intoxicating. You need more. You need to ride him until all he can get out is your name, screaming it until he can’t anymore. 

“You gonna be a good boy for me?” You ask as your hands slip between your bodies, feeling around for the button of his jeans. 

“God, yes,” he breathes. Once they’re off, it’s much easier to see his bulge and how much of an effect you’ve had on him from giving him your little show plus your kisses. He’s never wanted anyone so badly and he’s prepared to do whatever, be whatever you ask of him. 

He sees you pulling something from your purse and immediately realizes that it’s a condom as soon as comes into view. You slowly pull down his boxers and he should be shy about you being the only girl to ever see his cock, but he’s not. 

“I’m gonna put this on you, okay?” You tell him and he nods as his boxers finally come off and your eyes widen at the size of him. You roll the condom onto him then quickly remove your panties before straddling him. 

You settle on top of him nice and slow to get him used to it and the moan that falls from his lips is enough to make you soaked. He’s already coming undone so you’re going to take your time because you know he’s not going to last very long. 

“God,” he whines. “This is far better than using my hand.” You’re moving slowly, your hands pressed against his chest as you continue to move. 

“Yeah? You like that? How about this?” You begin to bounce even faster, moving your hands to grab onto his hips, pushing them against yours until he’s able to do it on his own, mimicking the movement perfectly. 

“Fuck,” he whines again. “Does it always feel this good?” He’s moving slowly, trying his best to keep up with your pace and you watch him come completely undone underneath you, his body pouring sweat as he pushes in and out of you, his words quickly slurring by the second.

“To be honest, not really, but with you, it feels just right. You’re such a good boy.” Those seem to be the magic words because not long after, he’s reaching his orgasm and you feel so smug because of how loud he’s being. You did that and you feel even more confident that you made him feel that good. 

When he comes down, you turn to leave because that’s what you’re used to, but Eddie grabs hold of you and pulls you down to lie beside him. You turn to face him and his eyes are pleading. You know what he wants and even though it’s programmed into you to leave, you just can’t. Not when he’s been so sweet and not when he made you feel so good. He’s not like the others that you’ve slept with. He actually cares what you’re into and isn’t interested in using you just to feel something. 

As you pull him into another kiss, you just know that you’re going to go for another round and you give in. You let him take the lead this time, only with a little guidance and he’s nothing but a good boy. He doesn’t even have to ask to know what you like. He just does. As he makes you orgasm, you just know that you won’t be able to sleep with anyone else after that. And with the way he pulls you into his arms after you come down, he tells you exactly that.

Pretty much everyone is gone when the two of you sneak downstairs and out the door. You head outside hand in hand and Eddie walks you to your car. Kissing you again and again, stalling going to his own vehicle and only leaves when he gets your phone number and plans to meet again for one more, but you both know that it won’t be just one more. Not if you can help it, anyway.

Have you seen anything about the latest ML episode? It's the way they started to take a step in the right direction and flung themselves all the way backwards again for me. But if you've seen it, what did you think about it?

---

Yeah, I’ve seen plenty and the more I see the less I like it. It's such an obvious, manipulative way to present the issue and, of course, it's done in a way that places Marinette's comfort as more important than Adrien's. Even while the episode literally calls out this attitude of sidelining Adrien's right to know and decide, the characters still won't respect it, meaning the writers don't commit to Adrien having that right even when they say he does. Like, yes, I know it seems like we’re going to have Marinette’s secrets “be addressed”, but, like, I don’t have any faith that “addressing” the lies with be anything but “Marinette is the biggest victim in this situation so let’s comfort poor, widdle upsette Marinette!”

The episode is downright two-faced. Alya is livid with Marinette for this awful thing she is actively doing, and all Marinette can do is wobble her lip until Alya’s memory gets wiped, with the episode ending with the idea that it's good that Alya doesn't know, because her knowing hurt her and especially Marinette so much. Adrien isn't even mentioned outside of Alya and Marinette’s argument and that makes it incredibly apparent that the point of this secret isn't about Adrien or even his relationship with Marinette, it's about Marinette and her relationships and that distinction might be small, considering Adrien and Marinette are in a relationship, but it is so important because it leans on a thing I’ve already pointed out: Miraculous prioritizes abusers’ and abuse apologists’ feelings over those of abuse victims, and that is at its clearest between Adrien and Marinette.

The show is basically saying Marinette can keep this information as long as she wants to as long as she intends to eventually tell him. Because that’s how post-memory-wipe Alya phrased it even as she protested Marinette deciding what Adrien gets to know before the wipe. Not even the fandom can agree what the point is, since the fandom is either insisting that Marinette will choose to do the right thing eventually or they’re insisting she shouldn’t need to, with the implication that someone else should go against Greatest Ladybug’s orders to do it instead (but, by golly, if someone dared to, they’d be vilified to hell and back). But, like, Marinette is so unapologetic about her lying, she only gives excuses, there's no regret. Why should we have any faith left in a habitual liar who has now shown she has no remorse? I’m saying it now: Marinette will not tell Adrien jack, not of her own volition, because no one is holding her accountable for her decisions with Alya’s memory wiped, with memoryless Alya insisting Marinette has the right to keep whatever secrets she wants. The episode goes “nevermind all that” on its own moral conundrum!

It is actually so important about this episode: that it drops its own moral conundrum to give some bullcrap lesson about the right to privacy instead. This isn’t some embarrassing secret about Marinette herself, this is Adrien’s father and his very life. Adrien’s right to safety is more important than Marinette’s comfort, but the writers only see Marinette’s comfort as something that matters. They really do think that Marinette should get to wait until she feels safe from any kind of uncomfortable emotions before she tells Adrien about this absolutely vital information. This is still a mostly episodic show, and that’s what they choose to end the episode on? That’s supposed to be the take-away to the child audience? This show’s morals are rancid and it's all for the sake of some cheap drama that will culminate when this all gets revealed and Marinette will be so very, very upsette.

And, like, there is another really huge element in the entire “Marinette is keeping things from Adrien” situation: Marinette is demanding that others follow her judgement on this. Marinette is making the choice to decide what Adrien gets to know and everyone who isn’t a villain will have to follow her orders on this. Like, that’s the thing about all the Maripologists crying how it’s not Marinette’s responsibility to tell Adrien anything: yes it is. Marinette made it her responsibility when she demanded everyone else be complicit in her lies. She could have handed over the responsibility to someone else at any time, she still could, Alya was practically volunteering instead of being voluntold for once, but it’s not about telling Adrien being too hard for Marinette, it’s about how Marinette can’t control how Adrien will react to the info and that’s the part that scares her.

We also have the episode actively discrediting one of the sources of criticism towards Marinette. The interviewer is making things up when he claims Marinette is manipulating Adrien because he can't possibly know about her gaslighting him, and he's doing it spitefully for attention. This means that the mostly accurate accusation against Marinette is being voiced by a character the audience is being wired to hate and automatically view as being in the wrong, just like in ‘Sublimation’. It's manipulating the audience into seeing the accusation itself as spiteful when it's the literal truth that happens in the show with only a touch of exaggeration by applying malicious intent instead of Marinette just happening to benefit from this manipulation.

This episode is so predictably manipulative towards the audience. The most obvious takeaway to me is the writers trying to go: "see how badly Marinette would be hurt if she told the truth? Clearly her lying to cover herself is the only choice she has!" Once again "Marinette is upsette" is meant to be her only "punishment" aka “realistic consequences for her actions”. Nah, she should face the music and then become a better hero to win people over again instead of pretending she's a good hero and getting praise for failing. But instead the episode ends with a rare case of Miraculous actually spelling out its lesson, because this time the writers see it as important, and it’s: “Marinette should get to tell the truth when she’s ready,” like these secrets are Marinette’s to keep instead of Adrien’s to know.

I take back that thing I said about no one deserving to be ganged up against like this. Gaslighting World-Destroyer Worst Superhero Ever should be facing this kind of disdain until she actually proves herself a hero instead of only being motivated by making herself look good to her remote control RealDoll. I am so exhausted of being expected to root for a character who still shows no sign of self-reflection or actually changing her ways. I just can't summon sympathy for Marinette when Adrien has it worse because of her. If we actually had an arc about Ladybug winning the people over again after losing to Hawkmoth so spectacularly, I'd actually be siding with her.

Marinette is blatantly in the wrong, even the writers can't deny that, but they will bend characters and reality backwards to make Marinette look like the real victim of her own actions. Adrien is barely present in the episode after the inciting incident, but they dedicated so many shots to Marinette looking as pitiful as possible, using money to make an entire “stressed out Marinette” model to use for manipulating the audience into seeing Marinette as the one who's suffering the most. Even while the fact that Alya got to stay mad at Marinette is promising, I just feel like even that is mostly going to be used to justify Marinette being too scared to tell the truth because what if Adrien gets mad at her instead of being instantly understanding and thinking of her comfort first and foremost?! How can we expect Marinette to deal with something so horrifying?!

Also, once again the writers introduce a new way for the characters to keep Adrien safe as a Sentimonster and don't have the characters realize it could be used for that purpose. Like, because intent matters, destroy the Amoks and/or get Cat Noir to make everyone forget Adrien was a Sentimonster and no one will ever knowingly use his Amok. In fact they should make everyone forget about sapient Sentimonsters period. Boom, instant safety to Adrien, Kagami and Félix.

This episode just feels like the exact dosage of “Halt the presses! Marinette is upsette!” I expected.

rant ahead.

seeing people villainize omark is weird to me. like yes you can absolutely be mad at him for being condescending to imark or not seeing the full humanity of innies, but to say that he’s The Evil Character and having no empathy for him is not the point. you’re obviously supposed to have empathy for the innies (and btw i totally see why imark chose 10 mins in hell with helly over choosing doing what omark would’ve done), but that doesn’t mean that you can’t feel for the outies simultaneously.

i saw someone talking about how omark is a man in his 40s and was a history professor so he should’ve known better and not gotten severed etc, and yes while i may agree that falling for a capitalist company is not the smartest move and he created imark, he didn’t do it because he wanted imark to bear his pain; he actually did it so he imark could be pain-free! mark’s life was built with gemma, in losing her he lost himself, and he was literally an alcoholic and not in his right state of mind when he got severed. this cult company literally targeted gemma and him to be their test subjects and manipulated both of them. severance is obviously a controversial procedure in society in the show, but there’s still a side of society that is not necessarily against it because no one knows what goes on down there. lumon sold the severance procedure to omark in the prettiest wrapping paper. they told him his innie would be content and this is all for work/life balance and they told him that he is a person, his innie isn’t. they didn’t tell him the implications of their lies (which they actually believe to be true) about innie’s not being real people and being sub-human. ofc a smarter version of mark may have called bullshit on it, but he was literally down in the deepest dumps known to man.

omark made a mistake and currently he is failing to see his innie with humanity, but consider that gemma means more to him than whatever self-torture he is doing. people applauding odylan for seeing idylan and giving him agency (as they should!), but ignoring that that’s another man who chose to undergo severance, and so by their logic, he is evil too. what does that say about you view odylan’s intelligence? it’s a tv show, and yes omark is imark’s antagonist in ways, and typically the audience is supposed to hate the antagonist, but consider that you can have empathy for him and root for his happiness despite the fact that he made mistakes. it’s very human of him to make bad decisions after his loss and it’s okay to be gracious towards him.

same with helena btw. i absolutely think she is evil just by the virtue of being the eagan heiress. she literally chose to undergo severance to benefit lumon and spied on innies and assaulted imark and so much other fucked up shit. despite all of that, the audience is allowed to have sympathy for her and what she has gone through life with her father and how she has never experienced love, and also how she’s been brainwashed and indoctrinated since she was a child. would love a reality where young helena grows up and unlearns all the eagan bullshit, but that’s not the reality and we’re allowed to feel for her for that.

lastly, people pick and choose to fit stuff into their narrative. hating omark, but liking milchik? im not against liking milchik because he too is a victim and faces so many microaggressions and all, but he is still on lumon’s side so how do these people justify liking him? you are allowed to sympathize with the characters because they are all victims of lumon, it’s okay and it doesn’t make you a bad watcher with no philosophical knowledge or a bad human being with no moral code.

Something I’ve come to realize is that a HUGE part of SP is that Valkyrie keeps getting her autonomy (especially bodily autonomy) violated by…everyone.

She’s been medically operated on by a war criminal. She’s had her soul torn in half. She’s been shot by her friend. She had another aspect of herself developing inside her for YEARS and Skulduggery did fuck all to fix it. She’s been possessed by gods AND by the weird psycho version of her partner. She’s been kidnapped. She’s been drugged and tested on her reaction. There’s more too, the list literally goes on and on. Friends, enemies, everyone.

And Skulduggery, of course, is a massive fucking part of this. Boundaries, what are those? Solomon literally has to call him out on how creepy it is that he sometimes just shows up at Valkyrie’s house. He claims he gives Valkyrie the freedom to do whatever she wants, which mostly manifests as him allowing her to make choices he knows are bad for her. And while this utter lack of safety does teach Valkyrie how to survive very quickly, it’s not him being fully honest with himself about how much freedom he’s willing to give her.

You see, he’s willing to give her all this freedom because he knows that no matter what, she’ll choose to stay with him. She can do whatever she wants so long as she chooses to stay with him. But the moment she’s talking about the possibility of her leaving him? And not coming back? Boy oh boy is he willing to resort to coercion to get her to stay. It’s an illusion of freedom and it’s made Valkyrie so, SO much more vulnerable to being groomed by other people (which is something that we see manifest in-series!).

And you know what’s REALLY stupid? One of the few people who hasn’t tried to violate her consent or autonomy is Mevolent. The genocidal fascist. Of course, it’s not about Valkyrie. He wants to feel powerful and is bored with his life; an extremely powerful wild card is exactly the kind of thing that can keep him entertained. Binding her magic or trying to make her weaker ruins the fun for him. He LIKES her because she provides him with a challenge he hasn’t been able to have in decades. And it is unbelievably fucked up that Skulduggery, the man in charge of raising her and acting as her partner, has done more to violate Valkyrie’s autonomy than Mevolent has even attempted to.

Ok its not broken on my end. So do you mind if I (at least temporarily until you can double-check it) provide a transcription? I think that we should probably look at both the "alya pushes mari to be honest" and the "the three decide to give Adrien the power in the first place" scenes for full context as to both: -The show's own position on the morality of this hypothetical future course of action. -The mechanics of the memory erasure incident. Starting with the "let's give Adrien a conceptual destruction ability" scene: --- Ladybug: "this time to repair things. We have to destroy them." Chat: "But isn't that wrong" Rena: "No, because it is meant to give people the ability to choose wether to share their secret or not," (turns directly to camera, voice stresses the following line for emphasis) 'and that's repairing things' (mari looks uncomfortable, she sort of slightly shrinks in on herself and makes a sound im fairly certain is her swallowing her courage? Looks down in tiny bit of contemplation and then gains resolve. Walking over to Chat) She takes his hand in a supportive gesture. LB:"You're a good person, Kitty. Trust yourself." CN: "But how do I do it" (doubt in voice) LB: "Remember, there is always room to evolve." Chat finds his resolve. CN: "Cataclysm"(hand begins glowing. Tiny black hole pellet apears. Spiritbomb power-up sequence. Gust of wind and a tiny tremor goes through the street they're standing on) "Miraculous Chat Noir" Black cloud flies around in a circle, turns back towards Rena who closes her eyes in acceptance/resolve for what is about to happen. A reprise of the "everything is fixed" miraculous ladybug tune plays in the background. CN: "Did it work" RN:"Did what work?" LB: "Well done Chat Noir" RN: "Did I miss something?" LB: "Only a part of it" Then we get the keychain hand-off, but no further talk within this scene about the amnesia-power as we cut to Lila's Lair. --- OK... that's weird... The 'did i miss something' implies she might've also forgotten consenting to having her memory erased? But LB makes it clear that she only forgot 'a part' without clarifying how big that part is. But it also makes it clear that it's explicitly only a part of the events of the day she has forgotten. This scene (on its own) kind of supports both our positions in a "from a certain point of view" kind of way. One thing i do know is that at least the text of this scene implies that My position corresponds with the writers re: "removing the memory allows Adrien the chance to choose for himself whether he wants people to know about his private life". Because that is exactly the sentiment Alya expresses. You're free to disagree with the writers, but My hypothetical at least feels in line with their textual position.

Moving onto the post-lila beach scene: --- Nino and Adrien are playing a ballgame in the water. Marinette and Alya are on the beach with the parasol. Alya:"You know you can tell me if something's wrong" Mari:"I know everything's fine" Alya: "May I remind you i'm a personal lie detector and it's flashing red?" Mari: "I know you can't stand secret's and lies Alya. But... I dont want you to hate me". Alya: "Me, hate you? I hope you're kidding. There's one truth I know about you. You have a big heart. And I know that whatever you do, you do it for people's own good. Sure you make mistakes sometimes, we all do but you always set them right. So don't think of it as a lie or a secret, just think of it as something that is hard to tell." Either Adrien or Nino (i am not familiar enough with the spanish voices to be sure): "Are you coming in the water or what" Alya: "Whenever you're ready to take the plunge, i'lll be there for you" --- Once again, this scene doesnt really conclude either way between us. It could be she's reading Mari's body language and making educated guesses, or it could be she's trying to guide mari based on a half-memory because she knows that something mari is keeping shouldnt be a secret in the first place. But it also implies that Alya knows marinette is "making a mistake", as if she (partly) remembers marinette explaining her reasoning and disagreeing with it. But luckily we have 1 more scene. After the end of episode splash-screen. We get the yoyo-logo zoom and another scene. --- Alya is holding a picture of her and marinette. Alya: "Why would I hate you Marinette" Trix: "Right, you'd never" (dont know the voice well enough to know if this is legitimate or if this is Tryxx being sassy and back-handed) Alya: "Her burden is probably too heavy Trix, I have to figure out how to help her" Fade to black --- And once more its not clear wether Alya is responding to marinette's insistance that "alya would hate her" or wether she's remembering her own anger that Mari was responding to... Basically: All these scenes are at just that uncomfortable bit of ambiguous about what was/wasn't forgotten by Rena and how much she does/doesn't know, and how she is planning to go about helping. Which certainly makes for good drama. But it doesnt make for a clear cut answer to our big "how refined is the memory-destruction" question. Personally, unless explicitly stated that Alya remembers nothing, im going to stick with "her intuition is too laserguided to for her to be fully amnesiac" for now. (LB's insistance that she "only forgot part" is the only bit of these scenes that feels like it's only going towards one of our theories, and that also tips the scales for me. Alya feels too "certain" that a mistake must have been made for me to dismiss her as completely amnesiac.) I fear that as of current cannon, we're just stuck at an impasse.

We finally get a secondary power for the Cat Miraculous, after years of complaining about how unbalanced its relationship with the Ladybug was despite being a pair - only for said power to be clearly introduced to be used as a recton/Status Quo upholder later down the line and will be immediately forgotten about once it's served it's purpose likely.

......Sigh.

Could you write something about Mason with a teenager daughter maybe something happens like typical teenage stuff x

Teenage Drama

Notes: Please continue to send in requests. Hope you like it ❤️

Summary: Your teenager daughter is now growing up and getting her first boyfriend. How will Mason react, will he be able to cope that she is growing up?

Pairings: Mason Mount x Reader

Word Count: 1.6k

Warnings: Angst, Fluff & Swearing

“You’re not my dad!” I hear Emmi scream as I walk through the door, the door slams and Mason storms down the stairs. “Whoa what happened?” I question. Mason glares at me which indicates Emmi has done something to piss Mason off.

“You need to sort your fucking daughter out!”

“My daughter?!?” I question in a heated tone. Mason is technically not Emmi’s dad, but Mason has been in her life since she was 3. He is the father figure to her, and Mason treats her like she is his own, however its arguments like this he likes to throw it back in my face.

“Well she clearly isn’t mine. Olivia knows better than to speak to her dad like that! So if Emmi wants to be mine then she needs to have some respect.”

“Olivia is six” I spat back “you know Emmi is going through her teenager rebellion stage at the moment. She hates everything and everyone, don’t take it personally”.

“Well she needs to know if she wants to live under this roof she needs to obey by my rules”. Mason announces which we hear the door slamming open from upstairs and Emmi stands at the top of the stairs “Well then I will just move out! Maybe I will go and live with my real dad at least I won’t have to put up with a controlling prick like youuuuu!!!” she screams.

“EMMI!” both me and Mason shout in unity but she ignores us and slams her bedroom door shut again.

“Again I will ask Mason what the hell happened? Why is she kicking off?”

“Well if she wants to move in with her real dad then just fucking let her.” Mason spats. I shake my head and wrap my arms around Mason’s neck pulling him closer.

“Stop being silly, we all know her real dad is a dead beat, she even knows that. Why do you think she asked you to adopt her so she can be a Mount too. She loves you Mase, just obviously whatever has happened has got her back up. So talk to me what happened?” I asked pulling away and walking over to the fridge and brought out a bottle of wine and starting pouring.

“Okay I got home from an event earlier and when I got upstairs I could hear her talking to someone in her bedroom. When I turned the corner she was sitting on the bed with some guy-“

“Oh yeah Josh” I cut Mason off

“Josh? So you know about this?”

“Yeah they have been dating for a couple of months. The deal is he is allowed round as long as the door stays open, was the door open?”

“Wellll y-yeah” Mason looks down and stutters

“Well then we cannot really argue with her, it is what was agreed”

“I never agreed to that”

“Yes you did, we had that big conversation with her. Its not our fault you were on your phone when she started talking about him”.

Mason looks embarrassed “I just don’t like the idea of her sitting in a bedroom with some hormonal 14 year old boy. I thought she was better than that.”

I take the wine out of Masons hand and pull him closer, and lean in and place a small kiss to his lips. “She is a good girl Mason, she is on the pill so we know she is safe. She is a straight A student, she never goes out and breaks curfew, she would rather spend a Saturday night as a family than being with her friends. She is always helping out with Olivia and Hunter. We cannot really ask for a better girl Mason, we did well”.

Mason gives me another kiss, “yeah we did. Just in my mind she is still our baby girl who is scared of the dark and now she is this 14 year old women who is getting a boyfriend I guess I just miss our little girl”.

“I miss her too Mason but she isn’t going to be a baby girl forever. She is growing up and its her turn to make her life decisions babe all we can do is guide her”.

“I know I know. I guess I kind of fucked up then. I just know what boys are like I just want to protect her. She is going to hate me now isn’t she”.

I shake my head and start to move across the kitchen closer to him “She doesn’t hate you Mase, come on my parents weren’t so impressed with me dating you at the start due to footballer reputations and come on your parents didn’t like me as they thought I was a gold digger” Which I giggle at the end.

“That’s not true my parents love you”

“Yeah after they got to know me, but first impressions Mason they were sceptical of me”.

Mason nods agreeing know I was right. “I just don’t know what to say to make it okay”. With that Hunters cries come through the baby monitor notifying us that he is awake from his nap. “Right you go get Hunter and I will deal with Emmi”. I lean in and place a kiss to Mason’s cheek. We both jog up the stairs and then part ways on the landing, Mason goes left to Hunter’s room and I go right to Emmi’s.

I knock twice on the door but I get no reply, I slowly open the door which Emmi is laying on her bed with her phone in her hand with her back to me. “I come in peace” I state, she turns her body to look at me and then turns back to her original position. I walk round the bed and perch on the side. “Hey it will be okay”. I say rubbing her shoulder as she is still laying down.

“No it won’t mum! He ruined it! Why would Josh want to be with me after he just throw him out I am sick of it”. Emmi’s eyes now start to water as I slowly wipe the tears from her face.

“Come on Emmi he is only trying to look out for you. You know that, would you prefer him to be like your dad and not give a shit”. Emmi sits up and starts to wipe her eyes “I know you really like this boy but we just want you to be careful, I got pregnant with you at 15 Emmi I just want better for you. You know whatever happens me and Mason will be here for you but you gotta help yourself sometimes.”

“Mum we weren’t doing anything. We were just chilling, we haven’t even done anything, I haven’t done anything with a boy I promise. He is the first boy that is actually interested in me and not just with me because my dad is ‘Mason Mount’. I really like him mum, and now he just ruined it its not fair. I am going to be alone forever!” Emmi starts to sob again which I embrace her in a hug.

“Well that’s very dramatic!” we both laugh and she pulls away. I wipe her away hair that is stuck to her face from the tears. “Mason is sorry he knows he messed up and he let his emotions get in the way. He is going to try and be better when it comes to boys. You are our first child Emmi so you gotta understand we are going to mess up sometimes. Mason is trying his best to be the dad you need Emmi, he is a great dad. I promise you now, if this Josh really likes you, being kicked out by Mason won’t matter he will fight for you Emmi I promise. Now come on wipe your tears it won’t be the end of the world”. She sniffled away and wipe her tears from her cheek.

“I didn’t mean what I said to him, I don’t want to live with my real dad. Mason is my real and only dad. I was just a-angry, I don’t want him to h-hate me.”. She choked.

“we both know that baby girl. Mason will never hate you I promise that. Just go tell him that, everything will be okay. Come here”. She wrap her arms around me and I held her whilst she cried it all out. Once she was done she went into her bathroom and cleaned herself up.

We both walked down the stairs and Mason shoots Emmi a small smile as soon as he sees us, still rocking Hunter away in his arms. “Come here I will take him” I quickly step in and take Hunter out of his arms and start making his milk in the kitchen.

“I am sorry” Emmi says to Mason

“I am sorry too baby girl. I just panicked. You are our little girl the thought of you getting a boyfriend just breaks me because that means you are growing up. I am sorry I will try my hardest to be the ‘cool dad’ just please don’t leave.”

Emmi runs across the room and wraps her arms around Mason “you are my dad. I don’t care what my stupid birth certificate says you are my dad. I am not going anywhere. I love you.”

“I love you too” they both stand there for a little embraced in a hug. She sniffled again “is it okay if I go out for a couple of hours to town with my friends?” she turns to me to ask “of course it is Ems. Dinner is at 7 if you still want it?”

“Of course I will be home for dinner cannot wait”

She grabs her coat and bag and skips out the house. I walk over to Mason, Hunter still in arms. He embraces us together. “You did so well with her”.

I look up into Mason’s eyes and place a small kiss to his lips “I couldn’t of done it without you”.

Hey guys I'm still into wha btw, here's my art for the deciduous spells zine, just wanted to draw my favorite guys being happy for once.

I feel like my art always ends up being in a modern au idk how, it just keeps happening

[iamfuckingsorry]

"Do you know where we are going next?" I asked ART.

Y'know what, I think maybe I don't need any more Murderbot books. I think maybe ending things here is fucking perfect and as much as I love Wells's writing I'm genuinely not sure it can get better for me.

Like, so much of the books are about MB learning how to be a person, about becoming okay with being a complete individual with everything it entails. The first thing it does once it's actually allowed to decide on its own is it runs away from it all (admittedly to go on a mission to confirm some things about its past, because it genuinely just wants to be *good*). It shoves all its emotions away as much as it's able to. Then shit happens, and it makes its first friends, makes decisions based on these friendships, goes through a lot of emotionally intense situations...

And we get to this point here. MB having zero doubts about going with ART says a lot about its relationship with ART, but it also says a lot about its relationship with its humans - it knows that wherever it goes, when it comes back, the humans will still be there. Its humans actively acknowledge its struggles with being a now-free SecUnit and MB is willing to entertain the discussions to an extent and share information about its deeply personal experiences. Hell, System Collapse ends with MB admitting it might be somewhat broken, but that's okay as long as it can keep doing its job, and agreeing to basically do counselling - this is the guy what would rewatch its favourite TV show again and again in order to avoid acknowledging it even had Emotions a couple books back.

Reading this, I know that MB will be okay. It has hopes and goals and genuinely believes in itself and it has an amazing support system that its willing to lean on for the first time in its life. I'm convinced it'll go on to do great things with ART. And that's really the only thing I need to know.

The moment Sammy nods, he’s moving. Hands moving swiftly through clearly practiced motions as he picks at pieces, putting… Who knows what together, hardly even needing to look at it while he works.

“Hah, that’s how mine’s s’pose’t work, more’r less. Spectre did… Somethin’ with it t’limit it- probably a good thing for Them. I’m sure it’d cause all sorts’f problems otherwise, heh.. ‘n… That there, where’s-“

He reaches around his tool belt, grabbing at… Something. And simply resizes a few of the pieces? Too big, make them smaller, apparently. Alright. Whatever he grabbed is put back in its place just as fast.

“Th’offer’s mighty appreciated, but I can’t ask that’f ya. ‘Specially not when I can’t guarantee it’d be kept, what with Them decidin’ what stays’n goes now often’n not.”

He’s… Already done with his little creation. He pushes a button on the small contraption, and the… Single propeller on the top begins to spin to life, carrying the small ball into the air. It zips around rather aimlessly, but keeps juuust out of reach when grabbed at. He did say it was one of his favourites… This has entirely lifted his mood. He’s delighted, and it’s very easy to see.

The bloxy cola hyper woman yeets the spectrum off to the side.

Ow.

"Whats your favorite little machine you made?! Oh, also, my name is Addict.S! The S stands for speed!"

Addict.S was bouncing excitedly. She ignores the walkie-talkie turning on with what seems to be co-workers chating of some sort.

"... Suddenly, you make. A lot more sense."

He sighs, shaking his head as he considers the answer.

"Outta what I've got here... I'm mighty proud'f my dispenser setup. Efficient lil thing, real useful. If y'mean smaller.. Hm."

He shifts some, bringing a hand up to tap at his chin, mulling it over.

"Lil gizmos'n dodads're always fun. Silly things're a delight. Might be somethin' more on th'fun side of uses, really? Once made a quartet of lil drone-like things t'float around, juuust outta reach of folk, just a tiny lil bit'f fun in th'office, y'know? Shed turned em int' target practice after a while. Fun t'see him deal with em, with how fast they were... They didn' last too long after that, but I never meant for em to, so."

He shrugs, smiling faintly. Oh, how much he misses simpler times...

Just thinking about the Slime Rancher AU. Just thinking about Ledge taking care of Wars while he's recovering because he's super worried about him. Maybe there's some guilt for not being with Wars the entire time?

oh 100%. the entire family is constantly there for wars and taking care of him while he's bedridden, but legend almost never leaves his side. even when wars is in and out from illness at first and only able to form basic syllables, legend is There and playing with his hair and shushing him and telling him everything will be alright

in the quiet hours of the night when everybody else is asleep and legend is left to listen to wars' shallow breaths and the hum of electronics inside the walls, he ends up spiraling a lot. going over the incident again and again, regretting straying from wars for even a second, thinking about how wars was nearly killed and could Still die in his sleep just because legend saw some moondew nectar in the distance that hadn't rotted yet. at some point when wars is awake legend apologizes to him, but wars just stares at him through the haze of fever and doesn't understand a fucking word and legend has to leave the room for a minute to keep from crying

they all lose sleep over the incident, but legend and fig are the ones who lose the most. fig gets up in the middle of the night a lot to see legend still awake, watching wars' chest rise n fall and massaging the unscarred skin around his hands. fig Knows it's not gonna convince ledge to go to sleep anytime soon, so he usually sits with him and lets him cry if he needs to. fig can See the guilt in his eyes and he's told him time and time again it was not his fault, but legend doesn't seem to believe him

i think legend prolly formally apologizes to wars again, when he's no longer bedridden and instead able to at least walk outside a bit. wars looks at him like he's got two heads when he says it, like it's crazy, like it's nuts, and wars tells him he has never once even thought of pinning the blame on legend. because it wasn't his fault. wars is just grateful that legend came to save him so quickly, he says, and he says it with a big smile that shoves that big rainbow scar to the side

and then legend cries GVYEIAV

[cleromancy]

i think people who are like "i think jason goes to hell no matter what" are just. fundamentally missing the point of batman. or at least what the bat is *supposed* to represent. like yeah the bat is supposed to mean no one has to die today, but furthermore, the bat is *supposed* to mean no one is beyond help. no one is beyond saving.

which is also why post resurrection jason todd should never ever have been put in the batsymbol IN THIS ESSAY I WILL--
