Devil’s Trap

-Dean walks away from Meg and Sam is like “are you okay?” It’s just so cute how Sam shows his care for Dean by paying close attention to him like this

-Dean says he always wanted to be a fireman when he grew up and Sam goes “you never told me that!” in this cute little brother way like he can’t believe Dean would keep something like that from him.

I feel like we as a society (by which I mean the wincest posts that show up on my dash) moved on too quickly from fireman Dean. Dean would be a fantastic fucking fireman. He could put “rescued my perfect sweet-eyed baby brother from three burning buildings” on his resume. He really sees no value in anything that he can’t relate back to Sam, does he?

-The first time Dean knowingly kills someone it’s to save Sam. A love that corrupts etc

Images that feel both illegal and religious

The way Sam melts into Dean completely, mouth open, eyes shut.

Sam says softly “you saved my life back there” which is inherently romantic. Dean tells Sam “For you or dad the things I’m willing to do or kill…it scares me sometimes.” His love for Sam scares him sometimes. Dean also saved Sam in spite of his dad’s disapproval of him using the Colt.

-Dean to possessed John: “He wouldn’t be proud of me… you’re not my dad.” Yikes, condolences. Poor Dean

-Sam walks into the room to find Dean aiming the colt at John and goes “Dean!” right as Dean tells him to stay back. I have a feeling if it had been John aiming a gun at Dean, Sam still would’ve gone “Dean!” and Dean would’ve told him to stay back, and if it were either of them aiming a gun at Sam, Sam still would’ve gone “Dean!” and Dean would’ve told him to stay back. If something’s not right Sam’s gonna yell “Dean!” and Dean’s gonna tell Sam to stay back.

Dean tells Sam John is possessed.

Sam asks how do you know, because Sam likes to be informed, and Dean just says “he’s different.”

That’s enough for Sam. He GETS BEHIND DEAN. This is the underrated samdean moment of all time for me. He doesn’t even hesitate. He tested John with holy water himself, but he knows that Dean knows John well, and he trusts Dean. He said last episode that Dean is the one person he can always count on. And he doesn’t just go to his side, he stands close behind him so that Dean can protect him.

-The demon taunts Dean by saying his family doesn’t need him

and the camera cuts to Sam who’s like. He doesn’t think I need him? 🥺

-Sam shoots their possessed dad in the thigh and immediately runs to kneel by Dean and worry over him. Dean asks Sam to go check on John, and Sam makes a face like What the fuck? I’m busy checking on you

Sam complies and stands over John to check on him. It’s just so different from his concern for Dean. Like, that’s his dad that he just maimed, lying on the floor not moving, and 110% of Sam’s concern is directed at Dean. It’s not a competition, but if it were, Dean would win.

-John tells Sam “shoot me” but Dean tells him not to, so of course he listens to Dean.

John is disappointed in Sam because “killing this demon comes first. Before me, before everything.” Sam looks at Dean in the rearview mirror and says “no sir, not before everything.” John is the one that Sam chose not to kill when he had the chance to kill the demon, and yet it’s Dean he’s thinking about when John says this. Nothing comes before Dean. A big part of Sam’s choice not to shoot when his dad was possessed was not being able to hurt Dean like that, knowing that Dean would rather have John alive than the demon dead. I honestly think he would’ve pulled the trigger if Dean told him to.

It’s a beautiful resolution to their fight last episode when Dean told Sam that he is more important to him than killing the demon. They’re explicitly each other’s top priorities by this last scene.

Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward (Thunderbirds)

Penny (Pokémon) is automatically passing this round

Propaganda under the cut

Penny Morris (Fireman Sam) Propaganda 

Firefighter in Pontypandy who was the only female firefighter (firewoman) from 1990 to 2015.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fireman_Sam_characters#Penny_Morris

Penny Rescher (Hello From The Hallowoods) Propaganda

She was held captive by a supernatural research group because she radiates good luck for everyone except herself, she finally escapes them by swaying her captors’ luck so they get into a fight at a casino and runs while they’re distracted. Her twin sister Friday has good luck but gives bad luck to everyone around her and together they commit arson and get revenge on the people who’ve wronged them!

Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward (Thunderbirds) Propaganda

To most people Lady Penelope is a famous supermodel, but she's really a secret agent working for International Rescue, an organization dedicated to saving lives. She owns a pink Rolls-Royce, "FAB 1", which has all kinds of gadgets like harpoons, oil slicks, and hidden machine guns, and it can drive over water.

——

She was created in part to appeal to the American perception of the British. She has all the signifiers of an accomplished aristocratic lady but instead engages (secretly) with the international rescues of the Thunderbirds. She doesn't live at the island but travels all over the world and reports to them, making her more relatable in many ways. The original puppet version of her was very ground breaking for what a female character on screen could be, having been treated like one of the rounded guys not like a flat characters--at least once she got a more regular role. (she was a little shortchanged in the live action version)

——

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Penelope_Creighton-Ward

Introduced in the British 1960s Supermarionation television series Thunderbirds. The character also appears in the film sequels Thunderbirds Are Go (1966) and Thunderbird 6 (1968), the 2004 live-action film Thunderbirds and the CGI remake series Thunderbirds Are Go. In the world of Thunderbirds, Penelope is employed by the secret organisation International Rescue as its London field agent.

On the outside, Lady Penelope is just another member of the British high society, as well as a fashion icon. However, after completing her education in Buckinghamshire, she rejected the aristocracy's endless round of social engagements and became a secret agent. She takes tea almost religiously and can communicate with International Rescue via her Regency teapot.

Can you mix 17 and 20 for our Sammy baby?? 🥺

For you my precious, Brenna 🥰

You hadn’t slept well in days.

Sam had taken notice of the darkening circles under your eyes, the rate at which you yawned during a conversation and the attitude you had adopted over the past few days.

He watched on as you paced the kitchen floor well after midnight, mumbling under your breath about work related matters he didn’t understand and how you brain just wouldn’t shut off. He pushed himself to stand and slowly made his way over to you, stepping between you and the track you had all but worn into the hardwood floor.

“Hey.” His voice was but a whisper as he slowed you to a halt and wrapped his arms around you. Your body relaxed for a fraction of a second, his scent enveloping your senses and turning your mind off for a second.

“You do realize it’s too late for you to be driving my liking right? Take off your shoes and come relax with me.” He brought his hands up to cup your cheeks and leaned down to press a soft kiss to your forehead.

A defeated sigh slipped past your lips as you kicked your crocs halfway across the room. Wrapping your arms around his waist and burying your face into the soft material of his shirt brought you a sense of peace as another yawn slipped past your lips.

“When was the last time you slept?” He mumbled, rocking your body gently from side to side. You rose your shoulders in a shrug as you wracked your brain but there was no definitive answer to be found.

“Maybe Sunday? I know Saturday for sure but after that it’s all a blur.” Your words were beginning to slur, the pressure his arms were putting on your body was beginning to fully relax you. A soft chuckle escaped Sam as he let his arms fall and he bent at the waist, scooping you up into a fireman’s a carry.

Laying your head gently against his shoulder you draped your other arm across his chest, listening to the solid beat of his heart as he carried you effortlessly to his bedroom. He laid you gently across his side of the bed and pulled the blanket that lay bunched up at the foot of the bed up and over your body. He made his way around the bed quickly and slipped under the blanket with you.

Your sleepy eyes met his and you scooted over, tucking yourself up against his side under his arm. He dragged his finger tips along the length of your arm, rising goosebumps on the skin as you pushed your leg through his and tossed your arm over his midsection, holding him close.

“Did I tell you the bullshit Josh pulled at the studio earlier?”

Sam spiraled into the most theatrical retelling of some of the silliest things Josh had done that day from using a spoon to fling a used tea bag at Danny to the high note he mastered that he never thought he would get. Sam knew he was losing you to the sleep realm very slowly as your answers became few and far between and the girlish giggles that had slipped past your lips tapered off.

He called your name quietly, reaching up to run his fingers through the loose hairs that had fallen out of your bun. Your name a song on his lips as he lifted his head slightly to look down at where your head lay on his chest. A soft smile caressed his lips as he realized you were fast asleep, making a mental note of just how your face looked with your cheek squished up against him and your mouth hanging slightly open.

A sigh of relief slipped past his nose as he rolled slightly and wrapped himself around your sleeping form and pressed a soft kiss to your forehead. His fingers continued their dance across your arm, lulling you into a deeper sleep as he awaited sleep to overtake him.

Community mourns 10-year-old’s death; parents say bullying is to blame

GREENFIELD — A mound of flowers encircles the small tree in Sammy Teusch’s front yard, along with a fireman’s hat and a Spiderman balloon.

A collection of wind chimes hangs from its branches, gifts left by virtual strangers who came to offer what support they could to Sammy’s parents — Sam and Nichole Teusch — who say their youngest child committed suicide in their Greenfield home on Sunday, May 5.

Sammy was a fourth grader at Greenfield Intermediate School.

He was just 10 years old.

As the greater Greenfield community has been reeling from news of Sammy’s death this week, the family has spoken out to local media, blaming the Greenfield-Central schools for not doing enough to stop the bullying he allegedly endured for months.

The boy’s father, Sam Teusch, told WTHR-13 in Indianapolis that the family had contacted Greenfield Intermediate School 20 different times to report bullying, but on Tuesday school officials said no reports were ever filed.

“In every instance it was never made anyone else’s fault by Sammy,” Nichole said.

Sam Teusch said another child once struck Sammy with an iPad on the bus, knocking the glasses off his face and giving him a black eye.

“I guess what angers me is that, if it wasn’t bullying and they had the video of this child who smacked him with an iPad, and broke his glasses right off his face, I guess that’s one-sided fighting? To me that’s bullying,” said his wife.

The Teuschs say they asked Greenfield-Central school officials for a copy of the video, “but they said no because there’s other (children) in the video,” said Sammy’s mom.

The Teuschs admit Sammy had been acting out at school, which they believe was likely prompted by bullying.

He said he also had multiple talks with Sammy, who would tearfully tell his dad he was being bullied at school.

“Sammy told me a lot over time and then just one day he just stopped telling me,” the father recalled.

“I’m an idiot … We asked him how everything was going at school, and he said, ‘Good. Good.’ After awhile he stopped telling me,” he said.

Greenfield-Central superintendent Harold Olin did say that staff members have “worked with the Teusch family quite a bit over the last 18 months,” but declined sharing details.

“Contact between school personnel and the parents was frequent,” Olin said on Tuesday. “We are investigating their claims related to bullying. Beyond our own investigations, we are cooperating with the Greenfield Police Department in this matter,” he said.

While Olin said he couldn’t share details in the case or previous conversations with Sammy’s parents, Deputy Chief Charles McMichael of the Greenfield Police Department said the investigation into the boy’s death is ongoing.

“This death is tragic for our entire community. Our hearts break for this child’s family and friends,” he told the Daily Reporter.

“What I would like for you to share is this: Parents, now is the time to talk to your kids. There shouldn’t be anything in their lives you don’t know about — school, homework, sports, friends — every aspect of their lives. The more conversations you have about everyday life, the more comfortable they will be talking about the hard stuff,” he said.

Meanwhile, the community struggles to make sense of the tragedy.

A Go Fund Me page set up to support Sammy’s family and funeral expenses grew quickly throughout the week, raising more than $2,000 beyond its $30,000 goal as of 3 p.m. Thursday, May 9.

Although Sammy’s parents could not be reached, a message on their Go Fund Me page posted Wednesday thanked the community “for the amazing support we’ve been shown. Last night we had a few hundred people show up and give us hugs and support. I couldn’t tell you how many complete strangers walked up to grieve with us and show support,” it read.

“The kids showed up in droves. It was much-needed craziness. There were tears (lots) but for the first time in a few days I seen smiles. I heard laughter. Then more tears, but that’s OK. Friends at this point become family,” it said.

A public “anti-bullying protest walk” has been posted on Facebook for 11 a.m. Saturday, May 18, starting at Greenfield-Central High School and ending at the Hancock County Courthouse.

SCHOOL RESPONSE

Greenfield-Central officials stand by their claims that bullying at school was not the cause of Sammy’s death.

“We have no reason to believe this (tragedy) was due to bullying at school. They are truly rumors and not based in fact,” said Robin LeClaire, the school district’s director of student services, on Tuesday.

LeClaire said the superintendents and counselors from all Hancock County school districts have called Greenfield-Central school officials offering their condolences and support, and that counselors and mental health professionals from all four districts were supporting students this week at Greenfield Intermediate School and Greenfield Central Junior High School, the schools Sammy’s siblings attend.

“We have continued to provide additional mental health professionals in these two schools this week, and we have reminded all G-C families that we have mental health professionals in all eight of our schools to support our students throughout this crisis,” said Olin.

“We have been fortunate to have an outpouring of support from our Hancock County school peers and the faith community, who also made themselves available to our students and families,” he said.

LeClaire said school officials have been in touch with many parents of students who were friends with Sammy, and that the district will continue to support the boy’s family, students and staff.

“We can’t control the narrative that’s out on social media, but we feel like we’ve responded well (in working with the family). Many of the (rumors of bullying) out here are not the experience we have had with him,” she said.

“Greenfield in general takes bullying reports very seriously, and we act on every single report every single time, and if action is required we do that,” said LeClaire. “We also provide training for staff and students at the beginning of every single year.”

LeClaire said what happened to the young man and his family is “a horrible tragedy, and we are extremely saddened by the situation. We know everybody is seeking answers as people often do when a child dies … but right now we don’t have a lot of answers, and I don’t know if or when we will.”

Olin said Sammy’s death “is tragic, and it has left our school corporation and larger community in tremendous grief. Our hearts pour out to the family at this time.”

According to the superintendent, Sammy had been a student in Greenfield-Central schools for the last year and a half, finishing his third grade year at Weston Elementary last spring and attending fourth grade at Greenfield Intermediate School this school year.

When asked if the family had filed any bullying reports regarding Sammy during his time in Greenfield-Central schools, Olin said he could not answer due to privacy laws and the ongoing investigation.

“I can say that we investigate and respond to all bullying reports and that Greenfield-Central takes bullying seriously and every matter is reviewed,” he added.

Olin went on to say the Greenfield-Central schools provide an official bullying incident reporting form, as well as an anonymous reporting app called StopIt on all student devices and school websites.

“Students and/or parents can report bullying behavior verbally. If the claim/accusation meets the criteria spelled out on the form (and Indiana Code), the bullying incident report form is completed,” he said in an email Thursday.

Olin said all incident reports related to bullying are reported to the Indiana Department of Education as mandated by state law.

While the investigation into what led up to Sammy’s death continues, “We are primarily focusing our resources on meeting the immediate needs of the students we serve in Greenfield-Central schools,” he said.

INVESTIGATION CONTINUES

McMichael, who handles community affairs for the Greenfield Police Department, encouraged the public to give the police department time to complete its investigation before laying blame.

“We’re hearing a lot of the same rumors everybody else is hearing. What’s true and what’s not true, we just don’t know yet,” he said.

“If this were an adult, some of the questions would be so much easier, but primarily because the case involves juveniles, there’s just not a lot we can say. Right now, it’s still a very active investigation,” said McMichael. “We’re still talking to several juveniles and there are still several more we want to talk to. I just don’t have anything to share beyond that.”

He added that anyone with information regarding the case can contact Det. Brandon Pope with the Greenfield Police Department at bpope@greenfieldin.org.

Sammy’s obituary, posted at stillingerfamilyfuneralhome.com, shared that Sammy was “loved by all, thoroughly embraced hugs, and had big plans for the future.”

It said Sammy was a fun-loving young boy who loved to hike and fish, jump into ponds, and play with robots and video games.

He was also a big fan of spicy foods, especially spicy Ramen noodles.

A visitation is planned for 2-8 p.m. Tuesday at Brandywine Community Church, at 1551 E. New Road in Greenfield. The funeral will take place at the church at 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 15, followed by a gathering back at the church after a graveside service.

Guests are invited to dress casually, “as Sammy would have known you.” Memorial contributions may be made to STOMP Out Bullying at StompOutBullying.org.

This is so sad. And at ten years old

I'm not surprised the school is trying to say it wasn't caused by bullying, though

A/N: Well, sadly we have reached the end of this story. I’ve enjoyed writing this fic so much and have loved your enthusiastic appreciation. Farewell to Fireman Deeks.

***

The Agent and the Fireman, Epilogue

The next morning, Deeks woke to an empty bed; the side where Kensi had slept was still rumpled, and when he touched the sheets, they felt slightly warm. He’d kind of expected as much, but he’d hope it would be different. Dropping his head back on the pillow, he pinched the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes, bitterness overwhelming the euphoria of last night.

“Your bathroom is so much nicer than mine.”

His eyes sprang open at the sound of Kensi’s voice, and he turned to see her coming out of the bathroom, dressed in the shirt he’d worn last night. He stared at her in mild disbelief.

“You stayed?” he whispered before he could stop himself. Kensi laughed, giving him a curious look.

“Yeah. Did you want me to leave?”

“No, of course not. Last night was—”

“Amazing,” Kensi filled in for him with a knowing grin.

“It was,” Deeks agreed softly. He shrugged, feeling unusually vulnerable. “It just hasn’t always been my experience that the relationship continues after this point.”

Kensi slid onto the bed next to him, gripping his chin between her forefinger and thumb. There was an almost protective look in her eyes. “Well, then I guess I’m not like those other women, because you’re not getting rid of me that easy.” Then, curling her fingers into his hair, she kissed him, pressing him down into the bed. When she pulled away, a smile tugged at her lips. “Now what does a girl have to do to get some food around here?”

***

11 Months Later

“Hey Kensi, your fireman is waiting outside,” Callen informed Kensi as he strolled into the mission.

“Ooh, we have dinner reservations at 7. Can you go tell him I’ll be right out while I go change?” Kensi requested, grabbing a bag from beside her desk.

“Since when did I become your answering service?”

“Callen, please?”

“Fine, but I expect to be tipped,” Callen said flippantly.

“I’m still not sure how I feel about Deeks knowing the location of our headquarters,” Sam commented. “No offense to him, but this is supposed to be a covert operation.”

“With how much we’ve had to collaborate on cases, he might as well be,” Nell pointed out with a sly glance in Kensi’s direction. “It’s amazing that he always seems to be on-call when we need the LAFD.”

“I can’t help it that we have so many fire related incidents,” Kensi said with an innocent shrug.”

When she made it to the parking lot, Deeks leaned against the hood of his truck, facing away from her.

“Did someone call the fire department? Because I see a smoke show,” she said, wrapping her arms around Deeks’ back, kissing the side of his neck.

Deeks turned, arms falling around her waist, head tilted back as he laughed. “Oh my god, that’s terrible. I love it.” He glanced her over, his eyebrows raising in appreciation. “Speaking of smoke shows.”

“You ready to go?”

“Always,” he told her, dipping her back to kiss her.

He's grateful that he can share so much with you and that you feel comfortable enough to do the same with him. And, he loves the fact that you two are so similar. It's what started your friendship in the first place.

At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that you're both safe, happy, and protected. Deep down, he's so immensely grateful he's not the only one keeping things together.

I have a theory that Hannah Sparkes is adopted

As the title says is Hannah adopted? I know cartoon logic and everything but Fireman Sam is pretty good about genetics especially when it comes to parents and their kids.

Mandy's skin tone is in the middle of her parents, she has black hair like Helen, and brown eyes like both of her parents.I'll say Mandy looks more like Helen then Mike but she does look a lot like both of her parents

The twins of blonde hair like Bronwyn, yes neither Charlie or Bronwyn have blue eyes but Sam does. So there is a good chance that one of Sam and Charlie's parents have/had blue eyes. I'll say twins look more like Charlie then Bronwyn

It's hard to do this with Norman since he only has his mother. But it's probably safe to say Norman most likely takes after his father

Same for Lily Chen. Since we only see her mother Mrs Chen. It's a bit different for the Chen family since they are the only Asian family in Pontypandy and I don't want to say anything racist by accident.

Now when it comes to siblings in Pontypandy some who look a lot alike such as Sarah and James or Ellie and Jodie and their are sibling groups who don't look a lot alike such as Helen and Malcolm or Sam and Charlie but that could simply be that each take after a different parent (like me and my sister, I look like our dad and she looks like are mom). That's probably the case for Sam and Charlie. Krystyna and Peter do look related but I won't say that they look like (half) siblings. If I just saw photos of them I'll probably say they are cousins

Speaking of cousins, we do see familial resemblances with extended family members. Such as Sarah and James having the same eye color as Sam or that Derek has similar hair color to Dillys. Jerry Lee looks like Elvis but with blonde hair. But not everyone has this strong of the familial resemblance. The twins didn't look like their grandfather Gareth, Mandy doesn't share any traits with Malcolm and Penny and Annie don't look related at all. Which makes sense when it comes to genetics.

Now when it comes to the Sparkes family. The chances of the man with brown eyes and woman with blue eyes to have a baby with green eyes actually has a lot of range, any where from 0% to 25% (different sites told me different things) and for a man with brown hair and a woman with red hair to have a baby with blonde hair is rare ranging form 0% to 17% (once again different sites said different things). I know these things can happen (my sister has blonde hair and blue eyes and the rest of the immediate family has brown eyes and hair) especially since we don't have extended family members for the Sparkes family. Hannah also has a completely different face shape from her parents (this one is hard for me cuz I'm face blind). Hannah just doesn't look like her parents unlike the rest of the kids (with on screen parents) who do look like at least one of their parents (once again looking at you Norman Price). If I didn't really know the show and just saw an episode on tv while babysitting or just because it's the only thing on at the hotel I'll probably say Hannah is mother is either Bronwyn or Penny. Like I'll probably believe you if you say Hannah is Penny's daughter or that Hannah is the older sister of Sarah and James.

Fireman Sam can go many different ways with the Hannah being adopted storyline. Maybe the kids are talking about when they were babies and showing each other their baby albums and in Hannah's it shows when she was adopted. Hannah treats it like it's no big deal and maybe jokes that she wishes she didn't get as an embarrassing dad as she did (Most likely one to be an actual episode). Another idea is that Hannah is excited that her birth mom is coming to visit it can go one of two ways Hannah's birth mom and possibly sibling(s) visit Hannah in Pontypandy or two Hannah's birth mom doesn't show up and Hannah is really upset about it. Hannah and Norman could team up to find their biological parents/father and ask why they were abandoned. Hannah doesn't know she's adopted and finds out by herself and is extremely upset and confused about it she tries to figure out who she really is. Hannah could run away after finding out this family secret and she's really mad at her parents for not telling her. I honestly might start headcanoning Hannah as being adopted but not knowing until she adolescence.

TLDR: Fireman Sam follows the rules of genetics and Hannah is probably adopted

Limbus Company would not be in the verse. DonBrothers and King-Ohger are the only two Super Sentai sub-verses in my ideal verse.

--------------------------------------------------

There would also be the series where these pieces come from.

I call this one above and posts directly related to it the St. Marley's Asylum series.

My Own Universe by Clarkov on DeviantArt - The original post that the template at the top of the pictures was made for.

My main OC-verse is one where all of these series exist in the same universe. Even Monster Girl Encyclopedia. Slavaria Cossack is a friend/weird harem group and is utterly shameless about it, with the same sort of chemistry that Clarkson/Hammond/May have. The 9-13 became members at various points after Sahaidachny's 'you're allowed to be you' arc. All of them are 15 in present day. 9-13 are based on existing characters in the same sense in which JJBA Stands are based on existing songs.

Slavaria Cossack (birth place) - current MGE mamono species (original)*:

Clarkov Sahaidachny (Vynohradiv) - Soldier Beetle (human)

Natalya Horbach (Kharkiv) - Shirohebi (human)

Yevhen Slobodyan (Berezne) - Wonderworm (human)

Stanislava Artemenko (Lebedyn) - Myconid (human)

Valentyna Morozova (Mykolaiv) - Tritonia (human)

Myroslav Kozak (Yevpatoriya) - Black Harpy (human)

Reichiru Inazuma (Fukuoka) - Oomukade (human)

Lyubomyr Dobrovolskyj (Pereiaslav) - Akaname (human)

Esmeralda Petersburg (Moscow) - Dhampir

Tess Dileva (Hoddesdon) - Sahuagin (human)

Kirumi Silkenstar (Ashikaga) - Mantis (human)

Karaina Caulton (Harlow) - Lich (human)

Suki Ryushima (Fukuoka) - Yuki-Onna

*Can alternate between mamono and human forms just like in Rosario + Vampire.

Note: 5 of my OCs in chronological order of meeting C.J.S. after his 'being able to be himself' revelation over the course of a few months - the stoic bodyguard-in-training Esmeralda Petersburg, the disciplinarian Tess Dileva, the poetic Kirumi Silkenstar, the spunky wannabe witch Karaina Caulton & the highly introverted loner Suki Ryushima - are derived from and inspired by existing OCs found on (y/n) x yandere quizzes on Quotev that I took a liking to thanks to the story/characters/detail/etc., like how much of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is inspired by Western songs. This includes their personalities. I took 5 such quizzes honestly answering the questions posed based on my personality and that of Clarkov J. Sahaidachny, my first and main OC, which are very similar in most ways but very different in some areas. These 5 were the results. As for the dere sides, they start out full on and become more mentally sound as time goes on. That part is inspired by the development of Mizore Shirayuki in Rosario + Vampire. It's how I have to do almost everything in life. Start out with a base, then slowly build it into my own thing. It's a bit annoying, but I make do with what I have. I'll leave a link to the quizzes below.

Fireman Sam Oneshot - Some Secrets Can Be Shared

Requested?: No

Prompt: None

Type of oneshot: Fluff

Reader’s Occupation: Firefighter

Reader's Relations: Sam’s girlfriend (but no one else knows)

Warnings: None?

Other notes: My brain is messed up. In this, you invent things, and they mostly work, a few of which come into play in this oneshot. Thanks to @oh-no-its-the-oc-x-canon-monster for helping me edit this, and please don't judge, I've been falling into the rabbit holes of tv shows I used to watch as a kid. I've written more, cause brain is odd, and but they are just waiting on being edited before they get published.

------------------------

“Who can tell me what we use Mercury for?” I asked the kids with a singsong voice.

The kids' hands shot up in excitement.

“Sarah?”

“For emergencies that you can’t get to with the other vehicles.”

I beamed, clapping my hands, “Correct! We also use Mercury for off-road emergencies such as—”

“(Y/n), can you read me?” I was cut off when my walkie-talkie went off.

“Loud and clear, Sam. I can read you loud and clear.”

“Good, we’re going to need your help. Norman’s stuck on a ledge on the cliffs and we can’t get close enough with Wallaby 2.”

“On my way. Just send me your coordinates, and I’ll be there as soon as I can,” I said, quickly grabbing a helmet, and attaching my walkie-talkie back to my uniform before turning to the children, “Sorry kids, duty calls.”

“Aww…” They pouted, some even stomping and waving their fists in disappointment.

“Sorry, I promise I’ll be back!” I echoed, smiling at the kids as I jumped onto Mercury and sped away to the Ocean Rescue Centre, where I parked outside and put on my ocean rescue uniform.

Pressing a small button on my shoes, I activated small floats attached to the uniform. Activating my personalised freeze gun to transform the water into ice, I skated across. I eventually reached where Norman was stuck, seeing Sam and Penny on Neptune, Ben on Titan, and Tom in the sky with Wallaby 2.

“(Y/n), can you get up there?”

I gave a thumbs up and a wink, saying, “Yep, just got to make a few minor adjustments!”

I scrolled through the menu on my wrist before finding the ‘suction cups’ button. Immediately, the floats on my shoes and gloves ballooned into suction cups. I hastily climbed, knowing I made the right decision to perfect the suction function before the other additions to my uniforms.

“Are you hurt?” I asked, after reaching the ledge Norman was stuck on.

“I don’t think so, just get me down please!”

“I’m on it, Norman. Don’t worry, just keep tight hold of me.” He nodded and edged his way over to me, but that’s when I heard beeping, and my foot slipped.

“(Y/n)? Are you alright?”

I pressed the button on my helmet, allowing me to talk on the small microphone, “Yes.. just one tiny little problem… My power’s out. I’m not going to be able to climb down safely.”

“Can you see any other way down?”

“No,” I responded. That’s when I got an idea, “Penny, can you bring Neptune as close as you can?”

“Roger that, (Y/n).”

“What’s your idea?” Norman asked, as Penny brought Neptune closer. I took a deep breath, “Norman, keep tight hold of me, okay? There’s only one way down, and it’s jumping.”

“WHAT?!”

“I know, but it’s the quickest way. I’m out of power.”

“O-okay,” he replied, wrapping his arms around my torso. I took another deep breath before jumping, making sure to keep hold of Norman and keeping a hand over his head to protect it. I soon felt a pain shoot through my wrist, but solid ground beneath me.

“Freedom! YES! I’m free!”

I laughed and stood, thankful that we’d landed on Neptune, rather than in the ocean, before hissing in pain.

“(Y/n)? Are you alright? What were you thinking?”

“I’m fine, just hurt my wrist a bit. It was the only way I could see to get down. I’ll be fine, Sam. I’ll just need to wrap it for a few days and then go away.”

However, he wouldn’t let it go, “You put your whole body weight on your wrist, I’ll be surprised if it’s not broken.” I rolled my eyes at his protective attitude and wanted to sigh when I heard him radioing Nurse Flood, “Ocean Rescue to Nurse Helen Flood. We need you at the quay. We need you to do a quick check-up on someone.”

I was unable to hear her reply, but as soon as we were back on dry land, Sam ushered me over to where Helen was.

“Oh dear, that looks bad, (Y/n). I’ll give you a check up too.”

It was soon revealed I’d broken my wrist which had to be in a cast, rendering me useless for 6 to 8 weeks.

“But I told you, it doesn’t hurt! I’ll go crazy if I have to sit around and do nothing when people need help!”

Nurse Flood sighed, “If you listen to me now, then you’ll avoid causing more damage to yourself, (Y/n). You’ll be back helping people in no time if you just follow my orders.”

I pouted before finally nodding, “Okay, Nurse Flood. Thank you.”

She smiled at me and reiterated that I wasn’t to help out and put more pressure on my wrist before saying goodbye and driving off.

I huffed, “Stupid Norman Price. I wouldn’t be in this situation if it wasn’t for him getting stuck.”

“You okay?”

“Sweet Mother of Neptune, Sam, you scared me! But you were right. My wrist is broken.” I murmured, slumping my shoulders.

“You seriously need to be careful, (Y/n).”

“I know, Sam, but better me breaking my wrist than Norman, right? I can hear him in my head, whining about how much pain he’s in,” I responded, walking over to the railing at the end of the quay, “The sunset’s beautiful, isn’t it?”

“Yes, but I know something more beautiful.”

“I swear to Neptune, if you say me, you are the cheesiest person ever,” I groaned playfully, rolling my eyes.

“H-how did you know I was going to say that?” Sam asked, wrapping an arm around me.

“I know what you’re like. We should probably get back to the station. Don’t know who’s going to need rescuing and when.”

“Wait a minute, you are not helping until your wrist is better. I heard Nurse Flood telling you so.”

“But I’m going to be bored out of my mind!”

------------------------

“Ahh!!!!! It’s a Moon Man! I told you they were real, Hannah!”

Hannah crossed her arms with a sigh, “Don’t be ridiculous, Norman, they don-”

“Oh yeah? Then look behind you!”

It was at that moment, when I bounced into Hannah’s view, chiming, “Hey, everyone. What’s happening here?”

“Get back, Moon Man! I have pickles!” Norman shouted, shoving a pickle in my face.

I cringed as I swatted the pickle away and removed the helmet I’d been wearing to keep my head safe while I was testing my bouncy shoes.

“It’s not a Moon Man, Norman! It’s just (Y/n). See, I told you they didn’t exist!”

At that moment, I started to smell smoke and then I noticed that Joe’s laser had fallen over and caused a fire, “Behind me, now. I’ll need to call for backup!”

-----------------------

“You always need to remember when around lasers, they can be dangerous.”

“It was partially my fault too, Sam,” I spoke, walking over, “I was testing out my bouncy shoes and I think I must have scared Norman with my helmet on. I apologise, but look, I got them working!” I smiled and kicked off, proceeding to bounce around, before coming to a safe and controlled stop, “Look, no injuring myself!”

“That’s good, (Y/n), but you were told not to do anything that could hurt your arm more.”

--------------------------------

“Oh. Well, this is mildly embarrassing…” I muttered to myself as I held onto a rock. I’d been out testing my water skates again, wanting to make sure they were working in case they were needed once my arm was better, “Oh well, better send a flare up.” I quickly took out one of the emergency ones from my bag that I’d brought just in case I needed help, even though I really didn’t want to use it, knowing that it meant I’d be in deep trouble, but my ice gun had run out again, and I had no way back to the shore. Eventually, I heard the sound of the Ocean Rescue team, and started to call out. Once I was sitting on Neptune, with a life jacket, that I prepared myself for my lecture I knew I was going to get, “(Y/n)... What were we talking about?”

“Sorry… ‘No doing things that I could potentially hurt myself more with’. I know, but I just wanted to make sure they were still working.”

We eventually made it back to dry land and once back up on the quay, unexpectedly, Sarah and James came running up to me and hugged me, “We’re so glad you’re safe, Aunty (Y/N)!” James spoke after they’d let me go, only to receive a slap on the head from Sarah, “James! She’s not our aunt! Even I wouldn’t have made that mistake. Sorry (Y/n).”

“It’s okay, Sarah. Although, just between you and me, you might be calling me that soon.”

“What? What are you talking about?”

“Right, back to the station.”

I mentally breathed a sigh of relief and turned away from the twins walking over to the rest of the crew, only to be dragged over to Venus by Sam, who had an uncharacteristically annoyed look on his face, and I knew I was going to be lectured again.

---------------------------------

“So cold… so glad that fire’s on,” I muttered, removing my gloves, and warming my hands up, “I hate Winter.”

“Um, (Y/n)... there’s something shiny on your hand. What is it?” Elvis asked, pointing to my hand. I froze and quickly covered it with my right hand, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

However, he persisted, and grabbed my hand, “I-is that a ring?”

I went to reply, spilling everything about mine and Sam’s relationship, but then I remembered, we had promised each other to keep it a secret until the time was right, and I didn’t know how he’d feel about me telling the rest of the fire crew, without him around, but i didn’t have to worry for too long as I soon felt arms wrap around my waist from behind, “May as well tell them now, (Y/n). They’ll find out sooner or later.”

“What are you talking about, Sam? Have you been hiding something from us?” Elvis asked, immediately dropping my hand, and turning his attention to Sam.

I just giggled, “Okay, fine. We’ve been dating for the last two years.”

“How did we not notice for two years? Penny, did you notice?”

The blonde just shook her head, “No. I couldn’t tell either.”

I just rolled my eyes, “Well, honestly, there were a lot of hints dropped. Look back and think about some recent events…”

“Now you mention it, we should have realised,” Ellie spoke up.

I just giggled in response and leaned my head on Sam’s shoulder, smiling.

“At least they know now. I wasn’t going to be able to hide this for very long,” I muttered, taking his hand and placing it on my stomach.

Discrimination in Australian Film

Many of you may not know this but I am a disabled man who is studying film at university. So, because of that, I would like to share with you an essay that I wrote last year about discrimination in the Australian film culture.

In a report written by ScreenWest in 2017 titled the “WESTERN AUSTRALIAN SCREEN INDUSTRY DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION ROADMAP 2017 – 2023” it was stated that although disability affects one third of the Australian population (ScreenWest, 2017) it has been found that only four percent of characters on the Australian screen have a disability and even less than that work in the Industry (Marks, 2021). In this research essay I am going to try and answer two questions that are important to me and my future. These are, does ableism currently exist in the Australian screen? And is there anything being put in place at the moment so that people who live with a disability or in fact any physical condition can succeed in the Australian screen industry?

When I was a child, I had many ideas of what I wanted to do when I grew up. Would I be a police officer? A fireman? What about a marine biologist? But unfortunately I could not be any of those because of my physical disability. When I was younger I would watch shows like Fireman Sam and Postman Pat and because there was no disability representation in those shows I would often believe that I was incapable of having a success career. Unfortunately although I said “when I was a child” this issue of representation for the disability community has not improved in the overall film industry but especially not the Australian film industry. For example in the year of 1989 when 302 films were analysed to see if they contained a character living with a disability it was discovered that only 53 of these films had one which is 17.5% (Byrd, 1989). In a recent study that was carried out in 2021 (thirty three years after the previous study) by Amy Marks it was discovered that this percentage had definitely increased but only to 33% (Marks, 2021). So, as you may be able to see when I was a child I just felt like I was all alone because when all of my friends and other people from my school had someone that they could relate to on the screen I just had no one. But in my opinion this is just because in the past and even in contemporary time both physical and mental disability is seen as either a taboo subject or something that can be laughed at. For example in the 2009 Hollywood film titled Tropic Thunder it starts with a couple of trailers to make the audience laugh, one of these is called Simple Jack (Stiller, 2008). In this short scene that goes for only one minute and a half we are introduced to the character of Jack who is a man that lives with a severe mental disability and is as the doctor says “special”. When I watched this scene I was only eight years old so I did not understand the connotations around it because I just thought that he had a funny voice. But now that I am fourteen years older I can see how the fact that Jack just jumps in circles, cannot speak and his friend his dragged away by an older male character yelling “I told you not to spend time with that stupid boy who can’t read” (Stiller, 2008) is highly offensive to some people. But that is what happens for people with a disability in the American film industry, what about in the Australian industry? Well in my opinion it is even worse because here in Australia people like me who live with a disability were not even given the chance to feel bad about being ourselves we were just ignored.

When I was growing up watching shows on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) channel which is both government owned and run we only had shows like Rollercoaster, Bottle top Bill, Blinky Bill, etc. which are all primarily about characters who are able bodied and none of them even had extras living with disabilities (Ollier, 2019). When researching this topic about ableism in the Australian screen industry I found a very interesting and informative interview between Adam Hills (who is an Australian comedian, radio presenter and television presenter who has lived with a disability for his whole life) and Kurt Fearnley who is an Australian paralympic gold medallist. In this interview Adam and Kurt were talking about how people who live with disabilities always make fun of themselves and as Hills says in this interview “comedy comes with tragedy, it’s our way of dealing with difficult situations in life” (Hills & Fearnley, 2021). What that means is that when people and or children who are born with a disability or eventually develop one are shown that they cannot have a laugh about or even just see someone like themselves on the big screen they would not have the ability as Hill said to “deal with difficult situations”. Although that was (and still is sometimes happening) when I was growing up as a young child living with a physical disability around twenty years ago, I have noticed when even just scrolling through television channels at night time or on the weekend that Australian Children’s television is become more inclusive to everyone, in particular people living with disabilities.  One example of this which seems extremely relevant to me is the Australian Children’s television show Bluey. This show was developed in 2018 by the ABC and it has become significantly popular with children and on IMDb it has received ten thousand reviews and with those it has a star rating of nine point seven (IMDb, 2018). The reason why this to me is such a significant result is that in Bluey one of the main characters is a young boy called Jack and he is someone living with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and because of that he is also non-verbal . This is such a great thing for young children like Jack because they can see that they are not alone and are as some people would say “normal” (Hireup Australia, 2022). But shows like Bluey online relate to people who want to see that they are not alone so what about people who want to get into the Australian screen industry behind the camera, well over the last decade some major developments have also been made around that area too.

Some of these are the production company of Bus Stop Films and also the Western Australian screen industry diversity and inclusion roadmap 2017 – 2023.When I was interviewing Monica Power who is the current support and engagement manager of Bus Stop films I asked her if she feels that there is ableism in the Australian Screen industry which I got the upsetting response of “yes I do, but that is why we have Bus Stop Films. It’s so we can push down the barriers and get people living with disabilities into the industry both in front of and behind the screen”. After I heard this answer from my interview with Monica Power I decided to do some research about what Bus Stop Films is, if they really are “pushing down barriers” as they say they are, and if they are succeeding in their goal. According to their company’s website Bus Stop Films (2022) is a film production company that “has been in operation since 2009, teaching adults with disabilities and others from marginalised communities film studies” and their main goal is to “use filmmaking and the film industry to change community attitudes globally around the rights and contribution to society of and by people with disability through inclusive film making” (Bus Stop Films, 2022). One way that Bus Stop is achieving this goal is through their Accessible Film Studies program which is held in Sydney, Parramatta, Wollongong, Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and the Blue Mountains and they are soon to be holding it in both Perth and Launceston (Bus Stop Films, 2022). In this program Bus Stop Films teach people with both physical and mental disabilities helpful skills that are inclusively both practical and based around philosophical techniques (Bus Stop Films, 2022). For the disability community as a whole a company like Bus Stop is such a breath of fresh air. In the past if you had a disability and wanted to have a position in the Australian film industry you would just be told “no”. This is not due to a physical or mental disability that someone may have but it is actually due both discrimination and ableism thoughts and beliefs which were previously centred predominantly around the world wide disabled community.

According to the Victorian Government of Australia the term ableism refers to “discrimination or prejudice towards people with disability” (Victorian Government, 2022). Ableism used to be a major issue for people living with a disability when trying to get into a career position because the assessor would just look at them and believe that they cannot do it just because of their condition. However, now because of some initiatives like the Western Australian Screen Industry Diversity and Inclusion Roadmap 2017 – 2023 and the Everyone Project which is led by Screen Diversity and Inclusion Network (SDIN) so that literally everyone no matter who they are can get into the Australian screen industry. What the Everyone Project does so that this can happen is that their website contains a survey which is both private and secure and film makers who live with a disability fill this out and the Everyone Project then sends out the results to film companies like Netflix who look at the films un- biasedly and then decide if they would like to produce them (The Everyone Project, n.d.). Sadly though after doing some more research through Screen Australia’s website I discovered that even though Screen Australia has had plans in place for multiple years to develop stories about Australians living with a disability, since 1984 there has only been fifteen films made about that topic and in most of them the disability is not even get acknowledged (Screen Australia, n.d.).

When looking more locally though this process is less straight forward and this is with the Western Australian Screen Industry Diversity and Inclusion Roadmap 2017 – 2023. On this document it states that Australia is the most diverse nation in the world and when you look even closer Western Australians make up the most diverse people in Australia (ScreenWest, 2017). So how is ScreenWest solving the issue that they need a more diverse amount of stories? Well this is by employing a more varied amount of onscreen talent to fit around 30% of “supporting talent to reflect diversity” by 2023 (ScreenWest, 2017). On top of this ScreenWest is also planning to have 30% of behind the scenes crew, employees and support staff roles filled by people from underrepresented groups also by 2023 (ScreenWest, 2017). However, this is still not a indicative amount of jobs that will work for people from diverse communities. In fact, even in the report by ScreenWest disability alone coincides with 21% of the marginalised groups around Western Australia so how is it going to be possible to adequately reflect these groups so that everyone gets a chance? Well, in my personal opinion as someone who has been living with a physical disability for their whole life I honestly do not know.

This does not just relate to the disability community of Australia either. In the past of Australian film there has been a history of sexism an example of this is how the only way McDonagh Sisters were able to make their first two films was through funding of their father (Shirley, n.d.). There has been racism for example, in the film Jedda (1955) the titular character of Jedda is a young Indigenous girl who is an orphan and raised by Anglo parents. When she falls in love with Marbuck (an Indigenous man) she is then kidnapped and dies on top of this in the United Kingdom the film is even titled “Jedda The Uncivilised” (Westmore, 2017). But after multiple years of changes in the Australian film industry and also changes in the thoughts of the Australian peoples these “isms” as they are called have changed. So, do I believe that there is a sense of ablism in the Australian film industry? Yes I do. However, I also feel that through some changes that we have seen in the past and can still see with things like sexism and racism I believe that this can and will change so that everybody no matter there ability can have a chance to succeed in the Australian Film Industry.

Did anyone else schools do yearly fire assembly, not like fire drills but like a fireman would come in and tell you about fire safety at your home?

Well, we did and we got them once a year from the age of 5 and thought we didn’t need them that much.

No 5 to 11-year-old should be planning fire escape routes at that age. At 7 years old, I should not be trying to figure out how I would wake up my brothers and parents as well grab my stuffed animals and jump out of my bedroom window at that age.

And you know what I think that led to my anxiety and fears of fires honestly why did we get it so much I understand you what a chill to know the danger of fire but I had so much fucking anxiety about it

Like I would wake up with a nightmare about a hypothetical fire I might have just because rip-off fireman Sam should my videos of the house burning down to smouldering at the age of 5 to 16.

Like these were graphic videos of the houses burning down and burns people could get and at the age of 6 I remember clearly that half of their videos had warnings about graphic content, you think that need to watch that like what 6-year-old is going to be the hero. None.

Also, why was I learning how to replace a fire alarm at the age of 11? Because I can tell you at the age of 19 I still haven’t changed one.

REDACTED verse - Ramadan with the bois Part 1 (Headcanons)

So I and the very talented and very kind Marrs from @themonotonysyndromefanpage (baby please, I love the fan page but come back to me 😭🤣) got together and create some Ramadan headcanons for the Redacted fandom! There are still a few more weeks to go for Ramadan but so far, it's been a blast to be able to create something with Marrs.

Also, tagging the amazing @yerawizardharreh because she's the one who gave me the idea to create these headcanons in the first place. Kai, you're a saint for tolerating my ramblings, so thank you so much for that! 😘

Angel/David Shaw

Can never wake up for Sahur despite setting up four alarms the night before. David literally has to carry them fireman-style and sit their ass down on the chair for Angel to wake up around 5 AM. Don't worry, though; they got better after the first week of the fasting month. 

Tries very hard not to curse, so they replace all the swear words with random things that come across their mind. Oh, someone cut them off when they were driving to work? "Where's your turn signal, you fudging snickerdoodle head!? Hah!?" Milo laughed his guts out when Angel picked him and Sweetheart up for dinner, and the Alpha's Mate began to rant.

Since Angel only eats during Sahur and Iftar, David takes it upon himself to fix a healthy meal plan for his Mate. So that they have plenty of energy to go through the day. That means no instant stuff and no junk food, much to Angel's grumbling. 

Angel and David's house is always open to the Pack during Iftar. Everyone is welcome to have dinner with them, and David makes sure that everyone has enough seconds and more. It's like a mini feast, especially at the weekends! 

Angel is strangely fussy when it comes to dates. It has to be from a single brand, and it has to be fat, honeyed dates. They like to snack on them after Iftar, and David takes that any day more than junk foods. So he makes sure they would always have a supply of Angel's favourite dates in the house. 

Angel and David also make lots of donations to local causes and welfare. They even organise a few charity drives too!

As an avid gamer, Angel likes to dub the fasting month as 'Pahala Bonus Round' and would go out of their way to do as many good deeds as possible. David keeps an eye to make sure his Mate don't run themselves exhausted in their enthusiasm.

Lovely/Vincent Solaire (pre and post Vampirism for Lovely)

Pre-Vampire!Lovely 

Vincent is super excited when Lovely explains to him that they'll be fasting for a month. During Ramadan, this man steps up his boyfriend's game. 

He wants the entire month to be perfect for Lovely. So that means from cooking to waiting for them outside of the mosque at night to sweetly waking them up for Sahoor. This man has it covered!

When Lovely grows concerned that Vincent would run himself to the ground from his enthusiasm, Vincent assures them that he doesn't tire easily as a Vampire. 

Sometimes their little found family would even join their Iftar! Sam and Darling would bring Bright Eyes and Frederick. It's always lively whenever they're around. And whenever Will could join too, it always turned into a mini party. 

The Vampires might not relate due to the absence of hunger, but everyone is eager to celebrate Ramadan with Lovely. 

And when Sam and Darling invite everyone to their place for Iftar, Bright Eyes makes sure to bring a duffel bag filled with fireworks. It turned out to be a fun yet chaotic night. 

Post-Vampire!Lovely 

To regain some semblance of normality, Lovely did their best to fast as a Vampire. Vincent is, as usual, eager to help Lovely recover in any way he can. 

While Lovely no longer felt that hunger pang, they top it with doing as many good deeds as possible. From donating to charity to helping out the Clan in any way they can. 

For Iftar and Sahur, Vincent did his best to offer Lovely's favourite food with a pitcher of blood at the side. The first time Lovely saw the arrangement, they couldn't help but giggle. The pitcher was an odd addition among the biscuits and curry rice, but it made them really happy for some reason.

Now that Lovely is a Vampire, fasting is easier for them to handle. Not being able to go out during the day is definitely a bonus! However, they still did their best to honour the importance of Ramadan.
