#I can't help it and I want it to stop 😭

[cheralith]

hear me out… i feel like roommate!karasu is the type to walk in on you sobbing (lowk js pms) and immediately console you without question. he doesn’t bother to ask what’s wrong until you finally stop crying under his arms. to his surprise, when he finally asked, you let him know that you were crying over a movie…. (these boys would know know ANYTHING about these damn period hormones😭)

"hey, just wanted to let ya know that eita and i are—" karasu pauses momentarily, the sudden hiccup that sparks out of you making him freeze and tighten his grip on your doorknob. he squints , adjusts his eyes to the darkness of your room only lit up by your tv with a limp lamp in the corner and widens them when he sees you.

you're underneath the covers, sitting up with the duvet over your head and a wet river of tears flowing down your face with every blink. a stuttered breath pulls out of you, your voice tight and raw, a disposition that doesn't take karasu too long to deciper.

you turn towards him, revealing the full nature of your face. your eyes are red and heavy, a certain sadness swirling that makes karasu's chest tighten.

at his appearance, your lips tremble.

karasu is quick on his feet— going to quickly close the door to hide your state from yukimiya and otoya who sit outside the walls of your enclosure and sprint towards you, a magnetic pull bringing him to offer you comfort before anymore sorrow can wring more tears out of you.

"woah, woah, hey there," he mutters and lands on your bed, an arm wrapping around you to bring you warmth from other than your blanket. "what's goin' on? you alright?"

a dam bursts suddenly within you and you wail quietly, another stream of tears going to drip down from your swollen eyes. the words that you try to convey to him suddenly tangle in your throat and you can only reply in weak gibberish that karasu can't comprehend.

"talk to me when ya can," he murmurs with patience, you only hiccuping weakly in response.

one large hand goes to rub up and down your back soothingly, the other holding your head tenderly and letting you lean into his chest as another sob wracks your body, a mix of a cry and a cough echoing in your dark room. karasu doesn't know what's wrong, but based on your current state, something must have happened badly enough that it's blurred your voice of reason, so he doesn't need to. the way you leaned into him told him all he needed to know—that you just needed someone here with you.

part of him thinks that he shouldn't be doing this—being so close with you like this, especially in such an enclosed environment and touching you so delicately, fervently even maybe.

if anything, karasu thinks this is the closest you and him have ever been with each other since you started living here. your relationship has bloomed fruitfully, reaching new heights that he thought didn't even exist with you during the first few months, and karasu can't help the flutter in his chest when you give a bright smile or sing a giggle to him at his antics.

so to see you like this makes his heart ache heavily. he's seen you upset, but never in the manner where words are drowned by a sudden sadness. and while he's glad that you've grown comfortable around him to let you see this side of you, karasu doesn't like seeing you overwhelmed with a weeping melancholy.

he lets you cry it out for a moment more, letting his sweater be soaked with your tears as your body slowly settles back into a more composed state.

he swallows when he hears you no longer hiccuping, just soft sniffs here and there.

"ya ready to tell me what's wrong?" he asks.

he feels you nod your head and lets you take it away from his chest that he prays you don't hear the beating of his heart from.

you sigh out heavily, blinking bearily and looking up at him. he raises his brows, as if to let you continue on your behalf.

a finger suddenly points your television, where some ending credits are rolling from a movie.

"the dog died..." you whimper suddenly.

karasu blinks, finding your sentence strange.

"huh?"

you jut your finger again towards the tv.

"hachiko..." you mutter, "the dog... he died waiting for his owner for nine years..."

karasu whips his head at the tv suddenly, where the logo of the movie rolls onto the screen momentarily and finally revealing karasu all he needs to know.

“you were..." karasu clears his throat, "you were sobbing over... a movie?"

you nod feebly, eyes still glazed.

karasu lingers in his place for a moment, trying to make sense of the situation and sighing so heavily, his lungs nearly give out. then, he lets out a shaky chuckle, before it bursts into full-blown laughter.

"hey!" you shove him suddenly with a crease in your brow at his antics. "you can't laugh! why are you laughing at a dog's death?!"

he lets himself settle down for a bit, some leftover laughter still shaking his body every few moments or so. "darlin', ya nearly scared the wits outta me. i thought someone died or yer ex did somethin' to make you cry like that."

you frown. "god forbid someone cries over a sad movie every once in a while..."

"i can't lie t'ya," karasu shrugs, grin still on his face. "it's not that sad of a movie."

you scoff, reddened eyes widening. "it is too!"

"it's not."

"yes, it is!"

"it's really not."

your jaw grits, sadness now replaced with a slight aggravation. "how would you feel if your dog waited for you for nine years and you never returned?"

karasu shrugs, getting up and dusting himself off to prepare you a glass of water to clear up your senses with a relief that nothing too bad happened to you to cause you to cry.

"beats me," he quips, "i'm a cat person."

you are the most incredibly correct person ever with sentryagent i love this and i am handing you a flower

Aaaahw ❤️ This is so sweet thank you so much ❤️💛💙

I'll take a moment to say that the scenes between Bob and John are all really good.

SPOILER

I loved how John went from "you're weird/you're a liability" to "I'll save you with the help of everyone else at the cost of my life."

John, in my opinion, understands Bobby's anger so well, and when he finds out about Bobby's father, who is violent and aggressive towards his wife and his son, he becomes even more protective with Bobby.

John hit Bobby's dad and called it piece of shit and then, in the lab, hugged him, grabbing his fist... It was really intense.

And I see a strong connection between John's anger and Bob's anger.

John stopped his punch because he probably wanted someone to stop him from killing in anger state.

I have anger management issues too, because of my older brother, so I understand John's feelings.

But I don't want to justify it, I've also done or said things I regret in anger.

I can't justify myself, but now I understand why I did certain things.

Bob and John can improve a lot as people if they stay together.

And of course I also love the team dynamic, Ava, Yelena and Bob have now become siblings and Alexei has adopted them all 😭❤️❤️

Yelena now has two dads 😂🫶

Hii!! I hope this isn’t too forward, I love ur civilian X AU and was just thinking over like what if one day he just. ran out of ideas on how to get the rest of the top 10 to stop fighting over him and coincidentally, he falls sick and THAT’S what makes them lock tf in lmao

Like maybe he’s been busy in his office job and also fighting the rest of top 10 whenever he’s in X form, that it doesn’t hit him that something is off until he sways on his feet on his way home from office job, and why is he feeling hot and cold at the same time,

All the top 10 catches wind of this and starts working together (begrudgingly, calling a truce) to take care of him, and also hating X more cuz where is this mans bf and why isn’t he taking care of his partner!!!

And X is like, relieved that at least now they’ve stopped fighting- then pauses and realises he probs just created more problems for his hero self to deal with and sighs in exasperation.

Sorry for the long rant, I just had to get this outta my brain.

oh my glob. yes. (i have. a very long standing thing for dramatic fainting and whump-type stuff so. yes. need.)

And absolutely, they all want to beat up hero X even more than before b/c wtf do you mean he's not only scored this man but is ignoring him??? Does he even invite him to his floor in the tower?? Do they live together??? (I still think X is homeless in this au lmao) They probably suspect hero X is cheating, the gotdam bastard--

But also, the way they'd start fighting over the best way to take care of him 😭 Cyan's singing lullabies while Ghostblade is trying to force the porridge he made onto X (it will be the best thing he's ever tasted in his life, but he's too sick to remember later), Queen has raided every pharmacy (she has somehow managed to get everything but the medicine he needs), Luo Li has somehow gotten hospital machinery into his shitty little apartment they've all crammed into and is taking his vitals, Nice is obsessively cleaning everything to make sure the whole place is sterile, E-Soul is standing by as like, a human defibrillator. Just in case. Big Johnny is purring (?) on his chest as he lays there helplessly. Ahu tries to imitate to little success. They get in each other's way and are just. so close to fighting, only to be interrupted by the tiniest sneeze to remind them why they've made a truce.

And they've all been superhuman for so long they can't remember what the fuck a normal illness is like LMAO (he just needs a few days of rest...they are not helping his ass by being there)

Hiii!!! <333

What would Marcel's opinions (+ interactions) be like with Frankie? (My oc) If that's okay with you ^_^

Btw, I LOVE YOUR ARTSTYLE SO MUCH!!! :3

Thank you <3!! To preface this, Frankie seems like an absolute sweetheart and I really like her!! Her backstory is very intriguing :) …But Marcel is an ass, so apologies in advance for his behavior 😭

I wanted to try drawing something in the bully style and I realized just now that maybe I should've used my usual style since you said you liked it, apologies x2 :') In any case, this is supposed to be a scene where Marcel is 'asking' Frankie to do something for him in town, maybe buying him something from the comic store, because he doesn't want anyone to think he's lame by being in nerd territory. Except he's unnecessarily threatening about the request, hence Frankie's fearful expression Now for the interactions and general opinions:

Since Frankie is a nerd, he initially lumps her in with all the others. He's not as harsh to her and Beatrice, but he's still rude to them on account of their clique + his sister being a jock and telling him that they're the ones being mean to her (big fat lie)

Marcel's such a little bitch that he makes it a point to light a cigarette every time Frankie is anywhere near him. If he knew the reason she hates it so much, he'd stop. He can sympathize with having a parent pass away at a young age

In spite of everything, there's a small chance of them being okay-ish with each other. The reasons being that they're both transfer students, which means clean slates, and more importantly their shared Italian heritage.

Marcel is incredibly biased, so he'll give her a better chance because of the latter reason. "She's Italian. She can't be as bad as Sofia says… I think."

Still, when Marcel notices that Frankie is a huge people pleaser, he will 100% take advantage of this if she lets him get away with it. He'd never physically pick on a girl, but he's not above verbal/psychological intimidation. After dropping a couple threats for appearance's sake, he'll make her run some errand for him in town that the preps told him to do. And wouldn't pay her either.

If Frankie goes along with this, based on her belief that there must be some goodness within Marcel underneath the asshole exterior, he will warm up to her a little, mostly because she's useful. Plus he pities her for being so shy, so he won't threaten her anymore, and just ask more nicely for help

After this change of attitude, when Marcel happens to see Sofia or Mandy bullying Frankie and Beatrice, he'll actually intervene and tell them to leave the nerd girls be, or else (he has his methods, usually involving blackmail). This is partly an unspoken 'thank you' to Frankie and partly a 'fuck you' to his sister. Nevertheless, Sofia and Mandy stop bullying the nerd girls. Most… of the time.

Marcel doesn't really understand the 'Princess of the Nerds' nickname, and normally wouldn't give a damn. But being friends with Pinky and hearing her yap and complain about it all the time quickly gets on his nerves. And guess what he does? He takes out this frustration on Frankie (because of course he would) by mocking that nickname every time they speak. God forbid he calls Pinky out

He is also once again jealous of someone for their good reputation with the greasers. Seeing a nerd of all people get together with Johnny and be friends with his boys is like rubbing salt on the wound, what with him having been rejected. He keeps this to himself though

Overall, they'd by no means be friends. At most Marcel tolerates her, and the one favor he does for her is simply as not to feel indebted to someone, especially a nerd. They both come out winners in a way though??

what is it about my dads house that makes me want to end it all

[topaziraphale]

"Stop saying Crowley won't help Aziraphale in S3 he'd go back to him in a HEARTBEAT and nothing would stop him" I get it no one likes the idea of Crowley being bitter after what happened for a long period of time but like can we at least acknowledge that he's currently going through probably the most emotional pain in his life since falling? Can we agree that he's opened his heart entirely - something you couldn't pay him to do unless the world is literally ending and he's desperate - to Aziraphale, and got shot down? Can we understand that he did it AGAIN only to lose Aziraphale again? Not that what Aziraphale did isn't without Crowley's own shortcomings (hiding the truth of Heaven's cruelty from him) but like,,,,

The appeal here isn't Scorned Crowley Doesn't Love Aziraphale Anymore, or Never Wants To Help Him Again, the appeal here is Crowley learning enough self respect to not just walk back right to Aziraphale like nothing happened after Aziraphale has had a pattern of consistently refusing him. Going years ping-ponging between "We're not friends I don't even know him" to "That's what friends are for right?" and "We're friends, why would you even say anything?" and "Friends? We're not friends. We are an angel and a demon!"

Like I get it, Crowley is a heartbreakingly forgiving person. Of course he's gonna forgive Aziraphale, I'll be surprised if he didn't forgive him by the time he walked out the bookshop door, but gdi he could at least grant himself the luxury of being at least a little irritated for longer than however long it takes to make a globe and some books float and angrily cry out to God in his flat. But due to the change of pace and dynamic that is establishing part of the conflict for Season 3, I just really like the idea of him for ONCE prioritizing himself and being like "Okay, fine. We'll get back at it when you're ready, then," instead of just taking Aziraphale back like his words and actions meant nothing to him, when clearly they have an effect on him.

What is Aziraphale going to learn if Crowley just accepts what he did so quickly, like he always has the entire time they've been friends? Idk maybe I'm just projecting too much darkness on their dynamic but I mean, if the pattern of Aziraphale pushing Crowley away/disrespecting him one day and then being fine with his friendship the next + Crowley never stopping to be like "Hey, that's not cool, at least give me a little credit" or smth was fine all along and will continue to be fine in the future, then why, after 6,000 years of being friends and loving this demon, can Aziraphale still not accept that Crowley is just fine the way he is, and instead got excited to promote him to an angel in a heartbeat once the opportunity presented itself? You can't blame all of it on Heaven when Aziraphale has demonstrated his free will/defiance to Heaven so many times. Or, I don't know, I guess maybe we can? Maybe I'm just craving too much angst to the point where I'm letting it cloud my analysis of canon. Idk.

Tfw your beloved has to meet horrors way beyond his understanding and you just know he probably doesn't even feel fear like you do... 😭 I'm nonstop worried about his safety, it's a nightmare. 😭🤣 The way P looks up directly in the mask slaughtered me. He doesn't understand, but doesn't attack first, either. I LOVE HIM, YOUR HONOUR- 😭😭😭
