#Girl idk I'm dumb as bricks

[kingprinceleo]

people who've been asking me about a masterpost for nearly two years now: P l E a S e

Me: (Had no fucking idea what a masterpost is or how to set one up effectively 2 years ago and still doesn't) :D ok!!!!

[zehecatl]

on one hand, i do really like the Earthspark girlies, but i do also think they, maybe, kinda... fall into a pattern. the classic 'girl gotta be badass to be Good Character' and while it makes sense for mechs to all be badass- it's post-war, they're all part of a literal war faction- it's just. it's a little noticeable. when even the humans all kind of fall into it

and i can't really hate it, because i love badass girls. i crave badass girls. if i don't see a girl beat up someone at least once a day, i am sad- but also it's a little. bad writing

[simplysedusa]

Hii so idk if you've done this already but what are your hc on the boy's relationship between each other?

I actually haven't made a post on this. To be honest, there was this clip of their losing animation from Multiversus that I haven't stopped thinking about and I was eventually gonna post my thoughts on that, or just post my general takes on who I think the Rowdyruff Boys are (and grow up to be). But, this will scratch that itch momentarily (and help me better characterize them and flesh them out).

Once again, just give me a minute to collect and organize my thoughts lmao.

The Rowdyruff Boys:

There's the typical, rather popular headcanon that Boomer's the "odd one out" of the three because he's not as evil as his brothers, and how he's often teased and bullied by Brick and Butch. But that's baloney, Brick teases both of his brothers, it's just that Boomer's reactions are more entertaining. (Also, Boomer can be as bad as his brothers, at times, he might be worse...)

And it's not like Brick gets off scot free either, both Boomer and Butch know how to dish it back when needed, Butch is just less likely to on his own and will just simply laugh at Brick's antics.

Butch is the glue of the group, the foundation, the rock. He's the one they feel the most comfortable venting to and are able to express themselves with freely (lmao I mean look at their options, who else would Brick and Boomer turn to, EACH OTHER?!). I find him to be the most emotionally intelligent out of the three, in contrast to Buttercup, who's probably the least emotionally intelligent out of her sisters (but she's still better than Butch, she's a superhero after all). Without him, Brick and Boomer would've spent most of their childhood youth fighting each other instead of the girls.

Brick's the direction, the determination, the focus. While he may not be as uptight as his counterpart, he's unfortunately the brother that has to keep them on track.

Boomer, on the other hand, is the relaxation, the relief, the destress-er of sorts. Even if they tease him, they find Boomer to have a rather calming presence that's needed for the group. He's usually the one to suggest alternatives to some of the crazy antics of his brothers.

"Let's get the girls!"

"And BOMB THEIR HOUSE!"

"–but I wanna go to the arcade..."

"So you can lose again?"

"You'll never beat my high score, Boom."

"OH YEAH?!

And sure enough, they're at the arcade.

While the general dynamic between the three isn't exactly toxic, they come to realize the dysfunction amongst themselves as they befriend the girls. The Powerpuff Girls are all so different from one another and have their own internal conflicts within the group but still manage to be each other's best friends, and witnessing that starts causing the boys to be mindful of who they are as brothers.

Brick and Boomer:

The two argued often in their younger years. While Brick may not be/was not as stern of a leader as Blossom, it still drives him up the wall that Boomer tends to be so carefree.

They've only ever actually fought each other three times max. Even though they're the two brothers to most likely fight each other, they're not that serious compared to fights Boomer had to intervene in when Brick and Butch went at it.

A part of Brick feels bad for how hard he was on Boomer, but the other part of Brick is...well, Brick.

Brick will occasionally extend an olive branch, and tries to be nice to Boomer in a very subtle, low-key way.

But unfortunately, Boomer plays dumb to mess with him as payback.

I'm going to the mall...you coming?

I don't have any money.

You don't need any.

If the girls catch us shoplifting again–

We're not–I'm—ugh, ARE YOU COMING OR NOT?

*rolls his eyes despite the smirk on his face and the fact that he's completely aware of what Brick's trying to do*

They're the type of brothers who could marathon some cheesy sitcom together in silence (or as silent as possible for Boomer, he'll make a few funny remarks about the show throughout and get a good chuckle out of Brick) and be completely okay with that, even though everyone else (sans Butch) thinks otherwise.

While Brick and Boomer might have their moments, if you're not Butch (or maybe the Puffs), never disrespect one in front of the other, unless you're in need of a black eye and a broken rib.

Boomer and Butch

When left alone, both of these two assume they're the one with the braincell, but in actuality, it's with Brick (not that he always uses it, he just likes to hold it sometimes).

While Brick and Boomer can sit in silence, Boomer and Butch are headbanging and playing air guitar to whatever music they're blasting out of the boombox they definitely didn't steal.

And that's on a peaceful day. Mojo and HIM had another custody battle over the three, and HIM suggested they split the boys and take turns. Mojo assumed he got the better end of the deal when HIM gave him Boomer and Butch. His entire lair was destroyed in half an hour. They agree to never split the boys up after that day.

These two definitely talk shit about Brick behind his back whenever Brick's pushing their buttons.

Boomer's the instigator and idea man in their pranking misadventures. And Butch is down for anything if he's bored. Their "pranks" can be surprisingly more cruel without Brick (which explains why Brick wakes up to a whole pack of chewed chewing gum in his hair one morning, luckily Ms. Keane has a knack for removing sticky stuff out of hair).

Much like their respective counterparts, they're the night party, club partaking, fun-having, social duo in crime. The only difference is Brick tends to join the two on their night out more often than Blossom will join her sisters (and their nights may or may not end in some sort of illegal activity).

Boomer and Butch's fights/arguments tend to be over rather petty, material things (i.e lost sports game bets, eating the last cookie, 'borrowing' one's clothes or belongings, etc.) but Brick's great at squashing it while it's small.

Without Brick, the two would have been too distracted to fight the girls back in the day.

These two were forced to share a room during their school years thanks to Brick's constant demand of having his own room. Neither of the two seem to particularly mind.

Drama kings! Whenever one of the two has a juicy bit of gossip, the other's the first to know. Brick doesn't usually care unless it's something BIG.

Brick and Butch

I used to be subscribed to the notion that Butch was Brick's yes man. I was wrong, Butch is Brick's (and occasionally also Boomer's) HYPE man.

Brick doesn't usually mind, but sometimes Butch can go a little overboard and now Brick has to be the impulse control and that's no fun when Brick just wanted to kick back and chill.

If you see these two in an alley or hallway and they're suspiciously quiet, RUN THE OTHER WAY. They're not necessarily after you but whatever the fuck they're up to, it's BIG and you don't wanna be caught in the crossfire.

When these two are rarely at odds, it lasts for days. It starts with verbal insults, until eventually a day or two later, one (usually Butch) gives in to the intrusive thoughts of beating the other into a pulp. Boomer has to damn near taze the two to pull them off one another, and pray to whoever's listening that Townsville's still standing so the girls don't get invovled. By the end of the day, the two act as if it never happened.

While Boomer might be Brick's favorite punching bag, Butch is more prone to Brick's verbal attacks (which may or may not have to do with the fact that Butch's specialty is force field generation).

Without Boomer, the two would have been too busy committing grand scale arson to fight the girls when they were younger.

Somehow, they're both the brother to encourage the other to leave their comfort zone. Brick's a loner by choice, while Butch usually sticks to Brick and Boomer like glue.

Joining the Rewind the Tape event

This will be my first time rewatching IWTV S1 since it's first broadcast (excluding the indirect watch I get from watching YouTube reactions). I'm bad at creating content, but I have been meaning to rewatch it the same way I watch movies; with my note app ready for me to write down things I notice. And like when watching movies, I don't really care about source material nor the existing theories; I just try to deduce from what I see. So, I feel this is a good way to refresh my mind before going into S2 after all the fanons and theories going around. I use my note to decide how I score a film, so I write down technical stuff as well.

If anyone wants to discuss, feel free to reply ✌️

Here is my note for S01E1:

• What a witty opening. Tricking audience that it's something it's not (an ad, which is closer to our reality). Setting the tone of what's to come.

• "Your sources are your Sherpas (a guide?). Your editor is your priest. Honesty is not a tactic."

• "Can he make his fantasy a reality?" Touche!

• 9/4/73. 4 September 1973

• Daniel looks so pissed listening to the old tape lol.

• That transition of Louis' face over the city. That's so Great Gatsby of him. And the long close shot makes Louis so still and inhuman, what a contrast with the ones from the church scene.

• "Have I hit the nerve?" Drink every time the script being so funny!

• Louis: "Yet you come anyway". Daniel: "That's my voice but I don't remember it" 

• "Truth and reconciliation" Reconciliation: the process of making two opposite beliefs, ideas, or situations agree.

• June 14, 2022.

• "The favored son. And capital to oversee as consequence"

• "You're a pimp". "The product is desire" The difference in their language in this dialogue is so interesting.

• Bricks hitting Fenwick after he tried to rape her. That's our girl 😌✊

• The score came up on the right time.

• Lestat witnessing and hearing the contradiction in Louis over loving his brother versus going hard on him in order to survive and falling in love immediately 😌✊✊✊✊

• "Let's not fuss on the particulars" Particulars in question are women being exploited and sometimes raped, but okay. 

• Florence and Grace don't like to hear the hard facts, I see. 

• "A lie I told myself about myself"

• No that white man Louis staring at is so ugly. Louis, please!

• Oh, Les definitely hears Tom inviting Louis for a game on Friday.

• "And there's a food" *gestures to Lily*. God, i love this script.

• Oh, Lestat did "mezmerized" Louis here (either accidentally or not idk), like he did with Paul later at the dinner. Hence, Louis says "not with my family".

• "Emasculation AND admiration in equal measure. I wanted to murder the man, and I wanted TO BE the man." Basically a summary of what attracts Louis to Lestat. 

• Lestat killing the white man with lamp scene is interesting if you consider what we watch as Louis' POV because logically Louis didn't see it as it happened in 1910. But the existence of this scene signals that 2022 Louis (or Louis after the fact) now knows that Lestat did prowling the city during the night killing people. Iirc there will be more scenes like this.

• Help Sam and Jacob's chemistry right when their eyes meet each other 😭😭😭😭♥️

• Not @ Lestat dumbing himself down in front of the white men and Louis smiled adorably over it even though he probably knew that's just an act. We lost him so fast

• The practical effects are so cool.

• Lestat was like don't you know your value etc etc, yet he still did not back up Louis to Fenwick. The red flag is red flagging.

• "He's not revealed his vampire nature yet." But Louis definitely knows something is up with him (see: two instances of "mezmerize" and the time stop)

• That shot of Leslou in the mirror at the tailor is so cute 🥺

• "Mother loves European" Louis is so her son 😂

• "He ain't takin' it you getting married" Paul was indeed getting worse 😭

• Lestat being so taken aback with how blunt Paul is then taken aback over Louis' lying to his family he's not enjoying opera is so funny. 

• Sam's eyebrows definitely have a life of their own lol

• Louis gives Lestat's "violent and weird peculiarity" a pass unless it's toward his loved ones. Reminds me of that Jacob's interview on the domestic abuse in the show.

• The talk Leslou have while walking back to Lestat's house is really the summary of Louis' different "hats". "They sit in judgement. Paul is the only one to say it to my face"

• Louis' action vs words when Lestat asked him for a "nightcap" is 🤌

• I thought Lestat's hand is in Lily's skirt when she seemingly orgasm, but it isn't. His hand also doesn't explore too much on her at Fairplay Saloon either compared to what Louis' narration implies. Is it the show being careful how they touch women or is it some kind of "censor"? I need to pay attention to it later.

• The choreo between Leslou to make it look like they're fighting for control/dominance. This is A grade yaoi 🤌🤌🤌🤌

• Louis checking on Daniel whether he has ~ embraced his sexuality~ then describing his homosexual intimate moment with drugs to a former addict is a very deliberate choice. Daniel isn't the only one digging in this interview.

• Drinking blood from another in an intimate setting feels extremely intimate

• Gosh Paul doesn't even want Levi to touch him

• The tap dance scene 😭 Paul 😭

• Paul spiralling down pre-wedding, seemingly angry during the wedding, eating a lot, remembering their best time, checking on Louis and Grace, saying I love you. Yeah, he definitely did it himself 🥲

• I know the night sky is a green screen, but the lights hit Louis' face so beautifully. I don't know how they did it 

• Florence 😡😡😡😡

• "Miss Lily proved herself a poor subtitute" Lestat 😡😡😡😡😡

• Lestat is completely out of touch with humanity, he only cares about himself.

• Finnick must think it's very weird that he has to keep Lestat away from Louis that he gets his arm broken but the next time they meet, Leslou are close again 😅

• Daniel Hart slaying with the score 🤌🤌🤌🤌

• Louis connects the dots when he hears Lily got the "fever" 😞

• Jacob's acting at the confession. The score filling the space over his voice. The mixing tuned up perfectly when Lestat snatching the priest. 🤌

• Lestat knocked down two lamps, one is so far away from the confession, to give proper lighting is so funny lol. (I know it's shooting necessity but still 😂)

• Sam definitely has a subwoofer in his throat wtf (I'm listening with earphones)

• You can see Sam hasn't used to talk with his fangs on here.

• The camera trick after Lestat punched the priest is so clever.

• I wonder what Lestat is hearing during his proposal scene, because he definitely gets Louis the moment he says he loves him. The change in Louis' face 🥲

• Sam's eye acting during the part laid over with Louis' narration. That part will always be my Roman Empire 

• "For the first time in my life, I was seen". Not "felt seen". He's still sure that that's a fact. 

• Louis already gives little nods the moment Lestat finished "for eternity" 🥲🥲🥲🥲

• Jacob's whole monologue during the turn 🤌🤌🤌

• "He sat there, radiant" *while Lestat's is laying down, catching his breath* Louis' narration is more "flowery" than the recollection?

Summary: I'm extremely impressed with how much we know about Louis' personality (especially the contradiction in himsef) just from the script of this episode. Alan Taylor trusts Jacob and Sam's ability a lot to do a lot of close-ups and just let their faces tell the story. Louis' costumes, scores, and audio mixing are perfection.

Thank you for creating this account, you are so brave.

Prefacing: I used to tolerate TS and her music when I was a teen and couldn't really avoid it. Now I'm 25 and I find her abhorrent as a human being.

(I'm not American and where I am from TS was never a Big Hit, unless we're talking 14 year old girls that eventually grow out of liking her. It's not entirely for a good reason, my country's a bit too conservative-brainwashed to like a self-proclained "girl boss" on a gov. level.)

Something that I noticed about that cult-like worship of that frankly boring woman is that most of the interesting shit about her is 1. made up 2. not about her music and I DO NOT understand how this is even considered a singer anymore.

Like, for example. A bunch of liberal queers like her because they take her bland music and fill it with their own meanings. Her lyrics are so soulless and boring and generic you can apply them to anything. You don't have to go listen to staples of quuer music like what drag queens, or queer women, or Black gay men create: because their music is visceral, it speaks onto real lived through opression that not everyone can relate to. But not with fucking TS! She writes the most TYPICAL line and a bunch of people assign some secret gay meaning to it. The amount of times I saw TS added to playlists for queer content is ridiculous. Like she wouldn't be half as popular if her music was regarded as what it is: straight white girl soliloquy.

The shit about her love life? Should not be fucking mentioned in regards to her as an artist. She's SO fucking fake. She will complain that people only see her as some girl who dates all those guys but she's the one fucking monetizing her love story. I'd understand if she didnt TRY TO but she fucking does! She knows she's bland and boring and she relies on people liking gossip enough to listen to her crap.

ok quick note when you said “liberal queers” it should be “queer liberals”. im assuming english isnt your first language so your native tongue has different grammatical rules but in this instance you put “queer” in front of “liberal.” i just don’t want you to be accused of being homophobic or anything so this is a quick note for you

you said you were 25 and everyone who’s been following this blog has been 20+ demographic in particular. i think it must be because we’re old enough to remember her entire journey starting w the 2009 kanye west mtv incident up until this moment. her staunchest swifties on here were born after the fearless release 💀

hmmmm i always wonder what people imply by Taylor Swift being a global superstar. like she’s isn’t popular in the entire continent of Africa but that doesn’t count apparently? and as much as she is popular in south asia, so much news is framed with a western perspective and all westerners think whiteness is default, and this includes taylor swift. i wouldnt be surprised if theyre inflating her popularity abroad as they are here in the states. idk

and so true! she’s known for her controversies and dating drama. even her music is known not for its success but ppl questioning the legitimacy of her grammys she’s received for her music.

also your gaylor hate—i understand. im not straight and i think gaylors were lobotomized by taylor swift’s music like genuinely these bitches have bricks for brains. there are soooooooo many better queer musicians especially musicians of color who write songs of their literal shared experience of queer love, identity, etc. but here they go theorizing that taylor seift and karlie kloss secretly dated 😭 it reminds me of this convo i had with my friend about gay people admiring/looking up to straight and cis people and labelling them as “gay icons.” its so stupid and reductive and continues to marginalize actual queer artists.

also talking abt taylor swift playlists i will never forget when i found spotify’s bad bunny x taylor swift playlist inspired by their photo from the 2023 grammys 💀 it was so dumb

“straight white girl soliloquy” PERIOD ANON! i need to start making a list of what you guys say cause its fkn fire

taylor swift embedded her relationships so deeply into her brand and music that its inseparable from herself. she really does define herself by her partners and her fans do too, which is why they expected this to be a joe alwyn album.

she really is so unoriginal and unremarkable and that’s why her thing WORKS. because to swifties she’s like “another everyday girl like you and me :)” 🙄 whatever. yuck!

Ace brings you on a park date but it ends up going horribly wrong. BUT he ends up making up for it by getting the both of you slushies(and possibly getting brainfreezes because you were being dumb together)

x SIR YES SIR 🫡 /GENDER NEUTRAL

CHAOTIC ACE (GORILLAZ) X READER

rated: E for extra unsexy. but there is a lot of swearing. warning for some cartoon violence

plot: girl read the ask

OH GOD OH FUCK

AAAAA WAUGGHHHHH BEES BEES HOLY FUCKING BALL SACK

record scratch

yep. that's me. y/n. guess you're wondering how I got into this mess huh. well it all started when this FUCKING DUMBASS DECIDED THAT BEEHIVES WERE NATURES MAILBOXES.

NOW YOURE RUNNING FROM BEES. Well at least it was romantic before that. before... Ace decided he would get you a pet fish from the pond. (he messed up his hair for u. you should feel loved) you said that you thought it was cute so he just straight up jumped in there and grabbed it for u. you are currently holding it in a grocery bag full of water as you run from bees. it is a miracle it hasn't popped yet. oh shit I spoke too soon. guess what happened. you split off from Ace and instead run back to the pond, holding a slippery fish in your hands. it keeps falling onto the ground. STAY STILL DUMB THING! YOURE TRYING TO SAVE ITS LIFE! it's ok, it's ok. you jumped into the pond, the fish swam away, and the bees decided you had drowned and dissipated, you saw this from the murky water. GREAT! NOW YOUR EYES STING! you're gonna get pinkeye or gonorrhea or something idk man. at least the bees are gone. some animal crossing logic shit

anyway you flopped onto the sidewalk very ungracefully kind of like a sopping wet towel and you laid there for a little bit. THIS DAY HAS BEEN AWFUL. you were tired so you passed out

When you woke up Ace was crouched down. Something VERY WRONG with his face. OH. BEE STINGS. poor thing. You open your mouth but you're cut off by "YEAH YEAH, SAVE IT. Now come on let's ditch this joint." he stood up and looked away. almost hiding his face. was he embarrassed?

You tried to get up. but you were stuck to the got dang concrete. "gonna need a shovel hun. scrape me off like I'm an egg on a nonstick pan"

"On it toots."

So he got a fucking shovel from the graveyard and scraped you off the damn conk rete

ouch well say goodbye to a few layers of skin. and your brain here in a second it looks like the residents of the graveyard were not happy at all Ace stole their shovel. you point behind Ace, he looks, and he just walks away. if it sucks hit da bricks. "nope. nuh uh. they can wobble and limp toward me all they want but I ain't gonna give them the satisfaction of catching me. NOPE. and I'm keeping the shovel too." and he did. and he held your hand and simply walked away with the shovel

"Hun, I am SO sorry this date didn't go how I wanted it to. This shoulda been something we never wanted to end, and now I'm just relieved to be home" Ace kinda mumbled

You put a hand on his shoulder. he flinched and yelped. BEE STINGS. RIGHT. "Doesn't have to be all bad. Let's get some ice for your face. and your tummy"

"That sounds nice."

So you walked to the nearest gas station, jumpscared the clerk, and got some slushies. You both sat in the parking lot and watched the sun go down. Ace held his drink to his cheek, which was particularly swollen. "Least today can't get any worse."

Then you both took a drink and got the worst brainfreeze of your lives

[sobredunia]

can you tell me about Noah again bro, I forgor her lore, but i remember her, i just wanna know about all of your oc's i will be honest about that

Okay I'm legit surprised and confused you know who noah is bc i don't think i've ever mentioned her ever

oh wait i just remembered the zombie au i told u abt. nvm lol

This is the only rendered drawing I have of her in digital. I made it 2 years ago. god damn

lore under the cut

okay so noah has the cringiest orphan backstory. you know that thing that went on in japan a few years back where women who didn't want children put them in coin lockers? yeah

her last name is Shellby because Coin Locker Baby -> CLB -> Shellby

at first she was at an orphanage and got kinda bullied but then one time she got a pink eye and made it so her hair covered it and this one other girl kinda digged the look at became her friend, and she kept the emo bangs for years after that. she also died her hair purple to look cool

(creator's note this is bc originally her design was much different and i made it when i was fucking around with a character creator. but then evolution happened and her design changed drastically but i still wanted to be somewhat close to my roots so her younger self design has that)

The girl she befriended was friends with the rebel gang at the orphanage and one time they convinced her to do arson and she burn an entire building down. so she got sent to one of those jails for kids. idk the name

there she met a kid who wasn't from that jail but he liked climbing trees so she saw him often enough through the concrete walls, and she fell in love and they begun to date!

Then, that kid actually pushed her to start bettering herself and try to get out of jail with good conduct to live the rest of her life free from crime. or at least arson. slowly the kid showed up less and less until one day he wasn't there anymore, but oh well

she's still in kid's jail but they were working on this program to make kids in kid jail with good attitude go to schools early so their studies wouldn't get damaged much and they could be reintegrated to society better. noah was one of those people. they did have to send her to a class two years younger than her bc she dumb as bricks lmao. and also she hadn't been to proper school in ages so yeah

and in that class she made friends!! :D

[rinhaler]

Since we are talking about my favorite subject👀👀

Does Sukuna ever oversteps if the reader is in a mood and forgets even though she is young, she's not a kid??

Bc I mean everyone has its moments and sometimes you just feel like being a bitch (at least once a month for me lol) Do you think he ever drags the older bf act to far?? Or gets a little condescending with her?? Orrr says something that might be true but without any filter?? Bc girl the daddy issues bit WAS A LOT, I loved every sentence of it but I felt soooo called out😭😭 Like damn

Idk if my question is too confusing but I feel like they are both too stubborn for their own good and sometimes in relationships that brings tension (also I love drama ngl) and you have to add that Sukuna has the emocional intelligence of a brick

I think he probably does it intentionally more than accidentally to be honest. He's really not a dumb guy and thinks about everything he says and I'm sure he's already figured out how much the reader values her intelligence and it's a huge part of her confidence.

Her biggest insecurity with herself in regards to Sukuna is her lack of experience. He's all too aware of it, too, even without her saying so. He clocked it from the moment they met and she's never really bothered to tell him otherwise. So I think he'd be a little condescending about that if he was feeling particularly hostile with her.

I think the times he'd accidentally treat her like a 'kid' is when he's actually being nice. Like offering to do stuff for her if he thinks she isn't capable and like overly explaining stuff. He definitely wouldn't mean any harm but she'd probably get wound up by it.

It's hard to think of examples but I hope you get what I mean 😭😭 he can be mean and condescending purposefully and that's the more likely scenario he'd do it. He isn't dumb enough to do it accidentally, more like unintentionally in a certain scenario.

They are both extremely stubborn you're right about that LMAO and I think he likes that about her a lot but then he is just as bad so he's confused why they clash and aren't working but then like.. DUDE YOU'RE JUST AS BAD!! He's very complex, I could write all day about how he'd handle and deal with certain circumstances but I don't wanna talk your ear off.

Generally, he isn't that in touch with his feelings but he knows what he wants and he's always gotten what he wants before and the reader won't be an exception. He's patient but proud. And he's an old school macho man so he isn't really gonna beg or grovel to her.

Definitely will be interesting to see how their relationship develops with their personalities being the way they are!

[ppg-villains-defense-lawyer]

I’m SO curious about your responses for all the emojis tbh so if you’re up to answering all of them I say that but if you don’t want to do that then 🤍!

Sure, I can answer them!

❤: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

I kind of went over it a little in the first ask, but I feel like older Bubbles often gets the short end of the stick in fanfics in being portrayed as the "dumb" Powerpuff Girl. I haven't read that much RRB fic, but the few I have tend to portray Brick as this sullen bad boy type who acts like he just walked out of a cliche romance novel and tbh I just think it's kind of boring.

Also, it's hard for me to find fics about Ace that I like because I feel like most of them either make him too harsh or the Perfect Boyfriend. Or just put to the side and barely is in it at all.

💛: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?

Probably the PPG/RRB, though I don't hate it either. The entire fandom seems to be split up in two camps: Those who love the ship(s) and tend to only be interested in that aspect of the fandom, and people who despise it and want nothing to do with it. I do find it annoying with how difficult it is to find any fan content that isn't focused on shipping them, but I don't hate the ships. I just think they're overdone. Especially when it's all three at once.

💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?

I think a lot of people take Ace being a relatively chill guy in Gorillaz compared to his PPG days to mean that he's completely lost all his edge when that's shown to not be the case. He stole the basketball that those guys were playing with in the Humility music video and slashed it with his pocket knife just for fun. He carries a pair of brass knuckles in his back pocket. He scammed 2D out of his toaster with Russel. He might not be committing serious crimes anymore, but he's not exactly shown to be a sweet, polite guy either.

💙: Which character is not as hot as everyone else seems to think?

Okay, this is gonna sound mean, but I (personally) don't find the Professor attractive and I feel like that makes me an anomaly.

I get why people like him. He's a nice guy and a good dad. He's smart. He's got a lot going for him. But idk, he's almost too perfect in a way and it's pretty rare that I'm attracted to dad characters regardless.

💜: Which character is way hotter than everyone else seems to think?

The Amoeba Boys, obviously /j

🤍: Which character is not as morally bad as everyone else seems to think?

I'd say the Gangreen Gang but honestly, I do think they get a lot of sympathy from the fandom.

So I guess my answer is Princess. She gets a decent amount of sympathy too but also a lot of hate. And I mean, yeah she's a brat and was written to be unlikable, but it's also pretty clear why she is the way she is and has shown moments of vulnerability as well. Bought and Scold is the most obvious example but also just her need to be recognized as one of the cool kids to a fault makes it seem like she does have serious self esteem issues under all that bravado.

I almost forgot: Rainbow the Clown/Mr. Mime. Dude gets splashed with bleach, loses his mind and personality, and even after he's back to his old self and no longer a threat, he's still beaten up and taken to jail. He 100% deserved better.

🖤: Which character is not as morally good as everyone else seems to think?

I think it goes unrecognized just how black and white the Powerpuff Girls sense of justice and morality is. Like, they take joy in beating criminals to a pulp even when it's not needed. The rest of the town also has the same ideals that crime must always be punished and punished harshly, including otherwise reasonable authority figures like Professor Utonium and Ms. Bellum. They encourage the girls to do it, or at least turn a blind eye to it.

💖: What is your biggest unpopular opinion about the series?

I love the girls, but honestly I like the show more for the villains than for them.

I also think the monster fights are kind of boring? Like yeah, it's cool how graphically violent the show was allowed to get, especially as a show for kids (and especially especially as a show for little girls) but I prefer episodes where the conflicts are more psychological.

💔: If you had to remove one major character from the series, who would you choose?

I guess I'd pick the mayor just because he doesn't do much and is mostly there just to be a silly little guy.

I guess you could say his incompetence is partially the reason why the Powerpuff Girls are needed so badly in the first place, but I don't think the show would lose much from cutting him out.

📖: If you had to remove one book from the series, which would you choose?

(I'll take this as ''which episode would you remove'')

I think Moral Decay was just really mean spirited. Like, your five year old sister/daughter does something admittedly pretty shitty, so in order to teach her a lesson you don't talk to her, ground her or give her any sort of reasonable punishment, but instead trick her into getting ambushed by every villain in town and beaten to the point where she loses most of her teeth?

Yeah, not their finest moment.

🏳️‍🌈: Which character who is commonly headcanoned as queer doesn't seem queer to you?

I'd say it's less about a specific character not being queer, and more in just that I'm not really a fan of those "every single character is queer because I said so" headcanons. I tend to prefer ships more for their inherent chemistry or because I'd find it interesting to explore than because I want them specifically to date someone of the same gender (or be trans, nb, etc)

💀: If you had to choose one major character to die, who would you choose?

I think either the Professor or one of the PPG would make the biggest emotional impact. Like, can you imagine if one of the girls died in battle, or a villain offed the Professor just to get back at them? The Utoniums and Townsville itself would be in hysterics.

i was wondering about loser!kuroo‘s reaction when reader calls him his bf by accident 😆😆 Like imagine a girl is hitting on kuroo and readers gets mad and mentions it haha

idk why but this reminded me of that scene from that 70s show lol

this would totally happen during one of kuroo's practices. people like to come and watch the team (ogle kuroo while he's all sweaty) sometimes you'll tag along if there's a break in your schedule or if you're planning on dragging kuroo out somewhere later.

today the team is playing a practice game with another school. you've seen him play dozens, if not hundreds of time already and you're uncharacteristically more focused on the paper that's due at midnight than kuroo absolutely destroying it on the court.

you're trying to do your best to hit the word count when a grating, shrill voice hits your ear. the game ended just a few minutes ago and, of course, kuroo won and the fan girls don't waste any time praising him.

"you were so amazing out there," one of them said, leaning over the railing to get closer to him. "the team is soooo lucky to have you."

kuroo is too nice to tell her to fuck off, but you can tell he's trying to separate from her. standing back under the guise of the fact that he's still sweaty from the game. "thank you for thinking so," he laughs, eyes searching the bleachers for you. his smile gets bigger when your eyes meet.

but a hand is suddenly on his chest. the same girl, giggling like an idiot, invites kuroo to some stupid party happening later. kuroo's about to turn her down gently, tell her that he already has plans, but her hand is suddenly pulled back. the girl falls back in her seat with a yelp.

"my boyfriend doesn't want to go to your stupid fucking party. you can fuck off now." the girl and her friends fumble over their words and scramble away while you roll your eyes. looking back at the giant buffoon next you, kuroo's face is beet red with a dopey smile on his face. "the fuck are you looking at?"

"i'm your boyfriend now?" he says, unable to contain the grin. the realization hits you like a ton of bricks and like those dumb girls before you're stumbling as you tell him to "shut the fuck up" before grabbing your bag.

"text me when you're done here, bye," you blurt out, leaving the gym without another passing glance.

[here2bbtstrash]

my dear lovely amazing talented sweet em🫡 i'm used to sending you my long ass feedbacks privately BUT this time i'll send it on here since i have many pics i wanna insert and i'm so stupid idk how to do that in chat🤘🏼 LET'S START

before saying anything THIS IS A FEEDBACK PEOPLE THERE WILL BE SPOILERS (OBVIOUSLY :) )

the introduction??? I MEAN IT SEEMED TOO REAL😩 that's the hottest wet dream i've ever read like?? and the way she realised she's in deep shit after waking up DAMN😭 i really hope deep down that yoongi heard her moans🤭

it was soooo sweet when he calmed her down and was like: that's fine🫶🏼🫶🏼 when they talked with that racist mf. also i absolutely love that cliche where there's only one bed like damn😩 AND HE CHOSE TO SLEEP ON THAT BRICK FOR HER?? HE THOUGHT SHE WOULD MIND?? OUCH💔💔

i LOVED the new characters🍻 wait- i fucking forgot her name BUT I LOVE HER🤘🏼 loved how she gave mc some advice 🫂 she's super sweet AND funny (reminds me of someone🤭)

when mc asked yoongi to sleep on the couch. THERE'S NO NEED FOR EXPLANATION BUT MY HEART DIED.

i was so happy cause i knew something would definitely happen on that bed. I MEAN TWO HOT PEOPLE WHO ARE ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER OBVIOUSLY THEY WOULD FUCK🫶🏼🫡

here i knew why you said she's stupid 😭 LIKE GIRL OPEN THAT MIND OF YOURS PLEASE WE'RE DYING HERE

"You make me so fucking hard. Dreamt dreamt about fucking you in this bed." WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??? MIN YOONGI CALM YOUR TITS WE'RE TRYING TO LIVE HERE😩😩😩😩😩

so fucking hot and respectful 😩 y'know idk when that happened but when you kept mentioning everything with "fictional" or "fiction" the other day THERE WAS NO NEED CAUSE THERE'S NO REAL MAN LIKE THE MIN YOONGI🤏🏼😊 i mean that "Can I go raw again?" made me come (kidding) 😜

who. is. ruining. who. WHAT???? I MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO BREATHE AGAIN🥲 em i love you but please have mercy on us🫶🏼

yeah i discovered i have a voice kink after this part🫱🏽‍🫲🏼 i remembered that one yoongi live IYKYK with that orange hair damn😩💥

this scene actually killed me multiple times in a RAW see what i did there?😜 ahhhhh sooo goooddddd

ummmmm so he didnt win a grammy😭 i mean i love being right😜 idk why but i kind of loved the idea of him not winning😭 WE GOT CUTE SCENES PEOPLE!!!

ok, the disappointment he felt was truly heartbreaking for all of us👀 and if you ask me him not winning makes sense actually 🥲 but then they got wayyyy too drunk and y/n could witness agustd's tongue technology 😩 they sang and danced with each other💔🫂

damn em. THIS HIT HARD

the thing i absolutely adore in your writing is that in can be so relatable? it's sad but it's true🤍 for some reason it's comforting to me, your writing comforts me💜💜 i've noticed that in many of your books especially TSOYB (i'm so proud of you btw) AND I LOVE YOU FOR THAT 💜💜💜💜

SMOOTH LIKE BUTTER. BUTTER COULD NEVER. wait did that just rhyme??

i can't insert more photos unfortunately but the last photo is of his confession😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 IT MAKES SENSE NOW. IT ALL MAKES SENSE. they way he talked about jungkook and when he told her to date him was not him mocking or making fun of jungkook he was in love😭😭 i did NOT see that coming 🥹🥹 the fact that he was the one who confessed first has me screaming, crying, throwing up AND CURLING MY TOESSSSSS AHHHHWIDISBXISHSUXH

AND PLEASE WHEN HE SAID "STUPID" ?? BABY WE'RE ALL STUPID FOR YOU YOU DUMB SHIT

GAH the stupid black text on the screenshots 😩 tumblr why did u paint my whole fic black for no reason..... why is this website broken lmao. i fixed it now but i'm still mad about it hahdskjfdfg ANYWAY

LOLLLLLL airplane sex dream we had to do it 🤪 hopefully she wasn't loud enough for anyone else in first class to hear 🙈 but also if yoongi had heard maybe he would've realized she was down to share the bed 🤣 but he did instead take the brick!!!! it's funny for someone who has been labeled an asshole for the entire series, yoongi actually cares quite a lot about consent at basically every point of the story, and is always like.... overly cautious abt not overstepping boundaries 🤭 wonder when reader will catch on 👀

tiffanyyyyyy my girl 🥰 and not you comparing me to her GET OUTTA HERE that's too nice 🥺 sometimes the most honest/sweetest conversations happen with a girl you just met in the bathroom lmfao, it's like the rules of feminism! we look out for each other 😘

OPEN THAT MIND OF YOURS WE'RE DYING LMAOOOOOO..... i'm dead 💀 she really can be so dense sometimes like HELLO.... 2+2=4 MA'AM..... LET'S GET IT TOGETHER.....

eeeeee i'm glad you enjoyed the smut 🥵 i love writing these two together especially now that it's started to get softer (but just as dirty 😩 need me a min yoongi like this lmao)

ohhh thank you for calling out that yoongi line bc it's one of my favorite bits 🥺 him actually being nice for once instead of laughing at her for not figuring jk's crush out sooner..... bc he does get it (AND TALK ABOUT WANTING TO AVOID AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH HELLO..... THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE LMAO) and i'm so honored that you find my writing relatable and comforting!!!! that really means the world wow 🙇‍♀️💜

THE CONFESSION 😩 AND YES YOU GET IT!!!!! he feels like jk is the more obvious/better choice for her bc mans has no self esteem 🫠 and even at the end we can see him starting to worry about if he should've told her or not.... somebody come get this man and tell him he's a prize!!!

thank you so much for reading sarah my love 🥺 i'm so glad you're enjoying this series and these twooooo, i love them so much and can't wait to show you what's next!!! 💜

"So, what? You're fucking your teacher?"

His cool breath fanned your lips, dark eyes watching them part in a moment of weak, urgent desperation.

"N-No-" your voice captured in your throat, "you don't understand, it's not like that..."

"Do you ride his dick for better grades?" Wonjin purred.

His shadow loomed over yours, his mere presence keeping you pressed against the cold rows of brick.

"Of course not," you croaked, "I would never."

Head tilting, Wonjin's gaze met yours with an unnerving sparkle, and you cursed yourself inwardly for how easily he reduced you to someone so pathetic. You were paralysed before him. Numb, unable to fight back.

The air shifted, as Wonjin tightened the gap between your bodies. His breath was intimate against your prickled skin, so close that you were certain he'd hear the pummeling of your heart. He reached out, tracing his fingers over the collar of your jacket, adjusting it's position with a touch that felt dangerously soft. Your cheeks radiated, burned, beneath him, every limb erupting in flames as his head bowed closer.

"I'd love to see what you'd do for an A."

The words made you shiver, a kaleidoscope of butterflies swarming your stomach. It was clear from the smirk on his lips that he knew all too well the hold he had on you.

"Well?" Wonjin murmured.

"Well what?" your voice hushed, you didn't dare acknowledge the nerve-wracking statement. How could you when it made you feel things far too complex to comprehend.

"I've been stressed," he continued, lightly tugging on your collar, "can't you help me out?"

Wonjin's lips were millimeters from yours, the tempting pink flesh practically skimming your own.

You weren't stupid, or naive. He wasn't exactly being cryptic. But your head was hazy, clouded by the alluring tone of his lowered voice, distracted by his electric touch. You could barely respond.

"I-I don't..."

"Yes you do," Wonjin's jaw clenched, "don't act dumb."

"I can't," you whispered, eyes flickering beneath your lids.

He watched you melt before him, your inhibitions disappearing with every heated second that passed. It was getting harder to deny him. Harder to pull from his mouth tilting towards yours. You barely had time to think - admittedly, you didn't want to - before he was pouring a gentle kiss against your lips, tongue cuffing yours in a surprisingly sensual manner.

Cliche, it may be, but fireworks erupted. It felt far, far too good. You found your nails snatching up his hand, digging so hard you could have broke the skin. The encouragement of you pushing into the kiss made his movements significantly rougher, suddenly grasping your jaw in one palm. His thigh made it's way between yours, sounding a quiet moan from the back of your throat.

"You taste so good," he grunted, as your grip curled into his shirt, "let me see what you can do, hm?"

Breathless, Wonjin reluctantly pulled back. The expression you met was shadowy, face filled with the evidence of his lust. One look was intimidating enough, but the way he bore down onto you filled your soul with a new sense of somewhat pleasurable submission.

You were barely surprised by how little persuasion it took for him to get you on your knees. Your friends, your teachers, your fellow students: anyone could turn that corner. Anyone could see the things you were about to do for him.

But you didn't care.

Not even as you unbuttoned his jeans. Not even as you guided down the zipper. Not even as your touch began to tantalise the stiff line pushing through his boxers. You wanted nothing more, in that moment, than him.

"Such an eager little slut," Wonjin mumbled, steadily watching as you traced the imprint of his dick, before beginning to release it from the enclosing cotton. As soon as it hit the air, your skin running down his bare skin, Wonjin's head rolled back with a satisfied smile.

Sensing you seem to momentarily dither, his sharp eyes glanced down at the uncertainty clouding your features, lips twitching as though pleased by your innocence.

"Come here," Wonjin drawled, reaching down to slowly palm his cock, "open your mouth for me, angel."

It was embarrassing how quickly you did as you were told. The authority was hot. He tapped the tip a few times on your loosened tongue, wetting it with the slight remnants of saliva, before beginning to gradually push his hips towards your face. With each inch that slid in, you were forced to open wider, gagging rather abruptly as it (for the first, and last, time) met with the back of your throat. One palm was now pressed firmly against the back of your head, silently insisting you follow the steady rocking of his hips. He started slow - careful - allowing you to adjust to the new sensation, but the concern lasted only a few moments. Within a couple of thrusts, Wonjin began to pull at your hair, his cock filling your cheeks with sharp, sudden pounds. While the pace remained fairly slow, the intensity of thrusts was increasing with every motion. Each time his cock caught the back of your throat, your cheeks clenched around the thick shaft with a spluttering gag, and a low groan would immediately ring above you.

You traced each protruding vein with a curious tongue, unable to silence the pleasured whimpers brought on by the mere taste of his cock. Soon, his hips were rocking faster, messier, against your mouth, while his hand continuously and carelessly forced your head down. Eyes were watering, lips were quickly becoming swollen, and your pussy dripped wetter after every pound.

Wonjin's throat rumbled with grunts and growls of your name; like it were the only thing left on Earth, and to say it turned you on would be an understatement. You were beginning to feel his cock twitching between your hollowed cheeks, and you promptly brought your fingers up to stretch around the remaining inches unable to make it through. While your head bobbed in accordance to the pistolling of his hips, your hand shakily twisted up and down the throbbing shaft, offering a 2nd stimulant to the approaching orgasm.

Tears that rolled down your cheeks intertwined with spit dripping from your chin, Wonjin's increasingly messy and erratic thrusts utterly devouring your face.

"Good girl," he hissed, "let me see my cum fill you up."

Abruptly stilling your head nearer the base, you were forced to hold your breath as one last throb dripped gallons of warm, salty liquid into your mouth: coating your throat, your cheeks, your tongue. It spilled out past your lips, decorating your chin with his cum, before he pulled out to allow you a desperate gasp of air.

While you swallowed, and licked up, every drop, Wonjin's tired gaze lowered to watch you fall weakly back against your heels. His mouth curled up into a lazy smirk, as he crouched down before you, and reached out to pinch your jaw between a tight thumb and forefinger.

"I'll give you a B," he hummed, "next time I'll see if you deserve an A."

Had the shittiest experience at the drs that reminded me of why I never go. I mentioned to my friend that I work out 5-6x/wk and eat like 700-1200kcal a day and don't know why I'm not losing weight & drs just never believe me & he convinced me to keep going to drs until one of them listens to me. So I went and she clearly didn't believe me 🙃 like girl why would I go to the trouble of making an appt just to lie??? Literally what is in it for me to do that???? I stg all drs literally fucking hate fat people and just assume the worst 100% of the time. Idk what I was expecting

:(( very sorry to hear this. medical fatphobia is such a serious problem nd people just act like it's nothing when it's soooo sooo incredibly harmful, one of the most dangerous forms of systemic discrimination out there. you shouldn't have to shop around for doctors in order to be believed and listened to, but if that's what it takes to self advocate successfully then i encourage it ofc. it just is so ridiculous that you have to do it in the first place, truly can't imagine how frustrating this whole thing was for you!! also right?? like let me waste my time money and energy making something up at the doctors for fun literally WHO do they think we are. so dumb. they literally do not have the knowledge to even begin to care about fat ppl half the time nd yet theyre so far up their own asses they take their own word as gospel every time - even when a fat patient who knows their own body well is literally screaming that something is wrong. the world seriously needs to let go of its incessant need to idolize thinness it's so tired. i always wonder how many grave illnesses/deaths this specific form of medical negligence has caused like there needs to be compensation + change it's getting ridiculous, it's been ridiculous. i hope you keep looking around and that you find a professional who really hears you out and works with you to begin prioritizing your health, the way you deserve to. i know it sucks that you have to keep going in circles and talking to brick walls, and ur anger/disappointment is totally understandable. hope you can find a doctor that will meet ur needs (crazy that the bare minimum is such a rarity god) soon. hugs x

[halfway-happyyy]

Random but I was about to be an aunt. My sister in law was 3 months into her pregnancy but it had to be interrupted... As I'm grieving I wish I had Alex to talk to. This is dumb but I think I'm in dire need of softness. Being listened, being cared about/for. Idk if this is even an okay request or if you're comfortable with it, but I was wondering if you could write something? Idk, I'm sorry. Please don't feel pressured to do so. I'm also sorry to dump this on you, just needed to say it. -A🖤

Hello sweet A. I wanted to start by saying that I am truly sorry for what you’re going through right now. Such a heartbreaking situation to be in, and my heart goes out to you (and your family) so much. Please don’t ever be sorry or afraid to drop something on me- my inbox is literally always open to anyone (I may be a little slow to respond) but I see you guys, and I appreciate you all so much. I want my blog to be a safe space for anyone here, because I think it’s important. I am putting what I wrote beneath a readmore because it contains some pretty heavy subject matter. If you are uncomfortable with it at all, please let me know, and I can remove it. I am honoured that you chose me to share with, and I am around if there is anything else I can do for you. Much love, friend.

“Close your eyes and remember this moment forever.”

Occasionally, there were fragments in life that begged to be committed to memory. She had not experienced very many of them to date, but the night that she met Alexander, he had whispered that very sentence to her and she had never forgotten it. Three and a half months ago, she had been seated adjacent to him at one of their favourite brunch haunts downtown. God, if she just closed her eyes, she could still see everything so clearly- as if it had happened yesterday and not over a hundred days ago. She could still hear the muted classical music floating in on the warm breeze from the restaurant, and the cacophonous clatter of ceramic plates and metal utensils as waiters bustled by in the background. She could still see the half empty glass of orange juice in front of his empty plate, the opaque flecks of pulp pasted to the rim of the glass. Of all her favourite views in the universe, closest to the top had to have been Alexander. And he could be doing anything, really. Whether he was seated cross-legged at the kitchen table, his blue gaze scanning the weathered pages of a coffee-stained script, or whether he was next to her at a concert, the live band loud, and the deep crinkles next to his eyes telling of his palpable happiness. It did not matter what he was doing, she was simply grateful to have someone to touch, to look at, to love. She could still feel the buzz of the phone next to her, signaling an incoming message. She had glanced down at the name on the screen and frowned to herself, running a finger over the glass and opening the text message fully. She peered down at the cellphone in her hand for what felt like hours, the words on the screen finite but still somehow otherworldly and slightly hard to believe.

“What is it, kid? Everything okay?” Alexander had asked.

She swallowed hard; a small smile pulled at the edges of her lips. “They’re uh… they’re pregnant, Alex.” She lifted her gaze to his, her unbridled happiness utterly contagious, and soon his elation matched that of her own. There had been no need to ask who the joyous news belonged to; her partner had known the moment that she uttered it, but even he could not know how her heart skipped a beat at the thought of the role she was about to play in a little one’s life.

“You’re going to be an Auntie…” Alexander had murmured, his voice breathless with joy. He held her to him that evening, as she spoke at length of the plans she envisioned for her future niece or nephew. She had drifted to sleep hours later with her much smaller hand entwined with his own, and to his soft, whispered voice saying,

“Close your eyes and remember this moment forever.”

And then one evening about a week ago, while she was at a private function with Alexander, she received a series of phone calls. She had managed to miss the first two, the collective chatter from the people around her had helped to drown the sound of her ringer out completely, and she only noticed the missed calls when she excused herself to use the washroom. The third call came in while she was fixing her dress, and she answered on the second ring. “Hello?” Something unbearably painful lingered in the silence. She pressed a finger over her ear to hear better. “Hello?” She asked again and heard only muffled sobbing in response. “Please try to calm down, I can’t understand you...” She implored the person on the other end of the line. Finally, a single sentence was uttered over the crackle of the phone wire, and her phone fell from her slipping grasp, landing in the sink below her with a resounding clank. Exiting the safety of the washroom, she stumbled back out into the heavily crowded room; her gaze was blurry with saltwater as she searched desperately for Alexander in the mass of bodies. She found his imposing figure at the bar, awaiting a drink, and tugged on his cuff-linked sleeve wordlessly.

“Ah, there you are kid. I was just about to send-” His voice faltered as he took note of her stoic figure. “Baby, what’s wrong?”

She swallowed hard and shook her head. Tears were moments away from breaking free of their dam and cascading down her face without pause. “We need to leave, Alex.”

His blue eyes widened in worry. “What is going on?”

She shook her head again. “We have to leave. Now. Please.” Her voice was pleading, and instead of waiting for a response from him, she turned on a heel and made for the exit. Once outside, she hugged her arms tight to her frame and slid down the side of the brick wall, resting her forehead against her knees. She tried to take deep, measured breaths to keep from hyperventilating and shivered only slightly in the balmy, mid-October air. Alexander joined her moments later, both of their coats slung over his forearm, a look of extreme concern etched across his features.

Crouching down in front of her, he placed a warm hand over her bare shoulder. “Will you tell me what’s going on?” She had been about to say something when a car horn blared in the distance and their taxicab pulled up to the curb before them. “Come, love. Let’s get you home.” He held her to him as she cried nearly all the way home, his warmth like a weighted blanket around her. “What happened, kid?” He whispered when there was a momentary intermission in her tears.

“She lost the baby.”

Those words hung suspended in the air above them like a dark raincloud. She had weathered storms before- but never anything remotely close to this magnitude. “Oh, my sweet girl…” Alexander held her tighter to him as he pressed a tender kiss to the top of her head. “I am so sorry.” She stayed like that for the remainder of the ride home, her head tucked firmly beneath his chin, tears flowing freely down her now-raw cheeks. When the vehicle glided to a halt in front of their home fifteen minutes later, Alexander handed over a wad of cash and told the driver to keep the change. If she had to think back on it now, the time between when she exited the vehicle, entered the house, and made her way to the safety of her bedroom, was totally blank. It could not have taken more than ten minutes but try as she might, those ten minutes had dissipated for good with no hope of ever recovering them. “Let me help you…” Alexander had murmured when he joined her moments later in their room. She stood motionless in front of their expansive mirror, her eyes bloodshot and exhausted. He stood behind her and reached with warm fingers for the zipper at the base of her neck. He made quick work of undressing her and watched the expensive material pool at the bottom of her feet. Wordlessly, he unclasped her bra and hung it over the back of the chair adjacent to them. “One of mine?” He whispered.

She nodded her head. “Please.”

Alexander turned and made for the walk-in closet, to his clothes that were hung to the left of where hers were. He felt around for the familiar material of one of his worn t-shirts and produced it from the middle of the rack, returning to where she was still stood. “Arms up,” He whispered, and watched as she did as she was told wordlessly. He fitted the t-shirt down over her body, watched it settle just above the top of her knee. He closed the distance between them and wrapped his warm arms around her waist, his chin resting softly in the crook of her shoulder. Their eyes met in the mirror and he asked her, “Would you like to talk about it?”

Her gaze fell from his and she tugged her bottom lip between her teeth, the familiar prickle of tears stabbed threateningly behind her eyes. “Not tonight.” She was not yet sure if it was something she ever wanted to talk about- it was a grief so intense in measure that she felt she lacked the proper words to describe it. To have something so tangible ripped from your grasp without warning… she could hardly bear it. “I want to lay down.” She pulled away from his embrace to stumble over to the bed. It had yet to have been made from that morning still, but she hardly cared. She climbed into it wordlessly and pulled the weighted blanket up over her body, hoping that sleep would come for her soon. She felt his side of the bed dip under his weight a few moments later, heard the rustle of the blanket as it was pulled back to allow him to slide in.

“May I hold you?” He asked, quietly.

She swallowed hard; her throat had been scratchy from the onslaught of tears. “Yeah.”

He shimmied up behind her and folded his long legs up behind her own, and together they laid like that for what seemed like hours. When she continued to stir against him, he whispered to her a folktale in his native tongue- something he had been in the habit of doing whenever she had had a rough time getting to sleep in the past. It worked. She had been able to drift into a fitful slumber, but 6:45 am came early, and with that consciousness came a tidal wave of despair and she did not have the energy to fight. She cried until she could no longer breathe through her nose, and resorted instead to taking deep, gulping breaths. She closed her eyes and tried to will herself to get a proper breath in, as Alexander stirred behind her. “Woah, woah… it’s okay, kid.” His voice was raspy and bore the heavy weight of recent sleep. “Come here, you.” He whispered and reached for her, scooping her up into his arms and falling back to rest against the solid oak headboard.

“It hurts, Alex…” Her fragile voice teetered precariously on the edge of breaking.

He held her head to his chest as he cradled her in his arms and rocked her back and forth in a slow, steady motion. “Shh, I know, baby. I know it hurts,” He kissed the top of her head tenderly. “You just feel everything you need to feel, hm? I’ll be right here with you.” He caressed a warm palm to the apple of her cheek and swiped stray tears away with the pad of his thumb. “I’ll always be right here.” He held her like that until morning dawned, and an October sun had begun to pour in through the crack in the linen curtains, shining beams of light over pieces of her disheveled hair. Alexander rubbed reassuringly circles into the soft skin of her arm and placed a series of feather-light kisses over her neck and shoulder. “I won’t let you bear the weight of this alone, my love,” He let the silence collect between them before he cleared his throat. “And I won’t force you to talk about anything you don’t want to, but I need you to know that you are not in this alone.”

“Close your eyes and remember this moment forever.”

And she would. She figured that she would remember the precise feeling of the pain for the rest of her life; how it felt so much like literal heartbreak, that she was scared she would succumb to it at any moment. But she would also remember the immense amount of love that she felt for Alexander; for the immense amount of love that he poured into her, and how grateful she was just to have him around in some of the darkest moments of her life.
