#I NEVER KNOW

[starsofang]

Price loves his sweet wife, all smile and charm, all pretty and wits. But oh, does he love when she gets mad.

He doesn’t mean to get you riled up, but he also doesn’t mean for his pants to get all tight and uncomfortable when it happens. He doesn’t mean a lot of things, actually—just like how he didn’t mean it when he told you about an old broad that made numerous attempts to sweeten him up down at the bar his crew often resided.

There was no broad, nor was there anything but drunken laughter shared with his men.

But the sight of you, his precious wife, spouting out annoyed curses, rolling your pretty eyes until they nearly fell out your head, yapping on about how you’ll happily stomp that bitch in the curb the next time you see her? It’s like injecting him with a poison that had his dick growing so hard in his pants he could feel its own pulse.

Price had already married you, practically got on one knee to pop the question the moment you two met, but seeing that nasty side of you stirred something sinister in him. Naturally, he did everything he could to lure it out just to ease the aching need he had for you.

Sex with you was already spellbinding, but when you were flushed hot with bitter jealousy, pretty hands pressed firm against his chest as you slammed your hips down on his weeping cock in a repetitive motion was a sight he wished he could frame forever.

He’d never tell you that most (all) times, he was only telling you little, white lies to get your rage pumping. It was his dirty secret.

You certainly never seemed to mind taking it out on him, which was exactly the goal. Hell, you even let him paint your walls pearly white as an apology for getting so worked up, something so utterly rewarding to him.

He loved this calm life with you. Wouldn’t change a thing about it. But the occasional angry wife, spitting burning fire and only egging him on? Yeah, that was something he didn’t mind becoming a routine, so long as his cock was the thing you were using as your release.

yeah, maybe catra spent the last few years too prideful and stubborn to admit that w adora was always where she wanted to be - and after so little time spent back by adora's side, it was breaking her fucking heart all over, knowing her chance at having time w adora was going away again, and in a way she's powerless to change far more than before. she can't choose to sacrifice herself for adora again like in corridors. if the failsafe kills adora -

then that's that. adora's gone for good.

but in the end, i think catra realizes, when adora went away before - the time lost was all cause she refused to choose staying w adora out of her learned pride & conditioned perception of herself as inferior - but regardless, catra gets now - where adora decides to go isn't up to her; it's never been her choice to make - & not even adora's, in a lotta ways -

but where catra goes has never been a decision anyone but her can make - she can stay w adora & fight beside her or run away & fight against her. and choosing to stay with adora doesn't make her a sidekick; it's immature and self-centered to see it that way. i think of the promise episode..

"oh, cause i need to follow you where ever you go?"

catra, hush. pick your words a bit better. adora only ever wanted you to come with her; she never implied anything about following. i don't see and never have seen the two of them as a super hero & sidekick team. they're equally bad bitches and they try n make up for any need the other has to just feel safe, content, & cared for.

"you look out for me, and i look out for you."

and, well, catra's not ever fucking making the mistake of choosing not to stay right beside that silly sweet adora dummy ever, eeeever again.

BUT duuude tho - the way adora cries a bit but says nothing - doesn't attempt even once to try n convince catra to go, to push her to leave and get somewhere safe - i just can't help but figure catra staying with her is exactly what adora wanted, but never would've asked for in a million years. she would've felt too selfish just tryna form the question in her head.

but in spite of that, when catra states it unequivocally and clearly adds w confidence - "no matter what happens" - adora can't argue. she can't insist. much like catra hasn't really been able to do for quite a while now - adora can't fake it anymore. she's just too tired and she finally has to recognize she wants someone to take care of her, too - just like she's felt compelled to do for everyone else for so long. and in this moment, i feel like she's finally wordlessly admitting to catra, not only does she want her to be the one to take care of her - she needs her to be. & she's needed it since the promise -

but since even then, her head was so consumed with the instinct to care without ever seeking care.. to take responsibility, to sacrifice her needs and put the needs of literally everyone else first -

(for those out there that find this to be an admirable quality that makes them love adora and hate catra... omfg.. hilarious. because it's a trait born of adora's trauma, just like pretty much everything catra did that made people dislike her, and it's a super unhealthy way to live one's life)

it's kinda interesting if you consider that catra's initial spiral into resentment & anger hinged so much on feeling she was watching adora's "shadow weaver always said you were special" moment happen in a way that made catra feel entirely obsolete; and on top of that, made adora seem to disappear from her life. catra cringed at the shine of the first she-ra. and i maintain it's partly cause she fucking saw that it wasn't really adora anymore, if you ask me.

the only point to catra existing that ever meant anything to her? adora. however you wanna describe or portray their relationship, idfc - the fact remains - even as enemies, catra's always considered her life in terms of adora. it makes her think she has to compartmentalize adora as an enemy for some time, sure -

but the reason it only lasts a few years? lol c'mon, does anyone really need to wonder?

:)

cause the glow of adora as true she-ra -- seeing adora meld with her magic just at the thought of her lil kitty wanting to go home with her?

catra's eyes don't narrow, overwhelmed by the sheen - they widen. she's consumed with the glow.

& returns the favor. cause somehow, catra straight up delves deep into the abyss currently consuming adora & pretty much says - "fuck no. plsss wake up - you can't just die like this, not before you ever get a chance to live your own fcking life, good god dude - i get now why you couldn't before, but this time, please - STAY."

these gurls literally got so much love for each other that catra is able to straight up force open an entryway into adora's fading subconscious (which seems to be the only part of her that's still alive) - just by talking to her - barely above a whisper there in the heart, but in adora's mind, she's screaming at her.

the desperate, hopeful sentiments uttered, urging adora to keep going - to push through this and come out the other side alive - to please refuse to give up on herself the same way adora refused to give up on catra in save the cat.. "c'mon catra.. you're not done, not yet..." -- those words are just so much stronger when they're heard from adora's sweet tsundere kitty..

it's sooo loud to adora when catra is the one expressing it - cause she's finally freaking realized, catra's the one she most needs to hear it from. knowing catra feels that way about her is something she's never really had, and vice versa ofc, even in the horde. honestly, probably partly because they grew up in the horde.

it wasn't the kind of thing they were taught to say or even acknowledge feeling - but hearing catra beg her to just stay alive - and then hearing why catra so desperately needs her to - adora's made certain that it really is true -

she does deserve love, and there's someone whose love she's realized she wants - and they're holding her, telling her she has it & always has. and suddenly staying isn't a hope, isn't a plea - it's an inevitability. adora ain't going nowhere.

i can't help always picturing a laughable lil moment these days when i watch the finale; something like adora hearing catra yell that she loves her in her strange subconsciousness & quick w it as hell, opening her eyes in the heart and smiling -

"i was boutta die, but tbh i can't die without telling you: lol, i knew it. and hey.. i love you too :)"

There's something so fragile about Edwin that makes me be like "whatever you say my beautiful Edwardian baby boy"

I just want to hug him

[generaltrashshecox]

Idk why but my brain won't leave me alone so I'll just post my thoughts here:

Angsty antmien one-sided(?) ianthony

Damien notices how Anthony looks at Ian. Soft eyes and brilliant smiles... He also notices how he gets not even a fraction of that. Damien who's already self conscious and doesn't even understand how Anthony looked his way seeing how he laughs at Ian's jokes and can't seem to contain himself around him. Damien just laughs along with them ignoring the red flags.

Damien who lets himself watch as Anthony stares so adoringly at his best friend to only get soft glances. He can see there's affection in his eyes. He knows Anthony enjoys him, even says he loves him but not to that degree. He's not comparable to the love of the sun.

He could say he's the moon but he's not, not really. That's too comparable and he's not even close. He's more of a cloud if anything one that abstracts the view for a moment before he's blown away. But he stays. He knows he shouldn't he should stick up for himself but the way Anthony looks at him sometimes... It melts him. And when Anthony fucks him softly gently whispering how beautiful he is through closed eyes he wants to believe him. He wants to so badly...

Anyways I don't know what this was but uh... Enjoy?

Been assuming that "Like Old Times but even nicer" referred to their time in Heaven...

But what if Aziraphale was literally just referring to their relationship on earth.

Like think about it, the last few years they've been essentially unemployed/retired, and Aziraphale (and Crowley to an extent!) really did like helping out the Humans. (so much so, they try to project onto a couple in order to help them)

And in several flashbacks we see Aziraphale and Crowley hanging out together and helping the humans (not so much in the Blitz one, but they did help out the woman who ran the Ladies of Camelot show) And in those flashbacks, they both, usually together, often make judgment calls about what Heaven and Hell should be doing (like with Job).

So Aziraphale could basically just be saying let's go do all the good stuff we used to do together on earth except this time, we can make those same decisions and judgment calls we've Been making for millennia BUT we won't have to worry about being caught or getting into trouble, we'll actually have to be listened to, we can still find time to socialize, and we'll be Safe.
