just to add:
Using Poe rather than any other Dark Romantic writer that was his contemporary to pull a quote from was such a good choice. Of his sotries, "The Tell-Tale Heart" was the perfect one for Astarion, but Poe very specifically believed stories should be written in a circular manner - like a snake biting its tail - which fits so perfectly with all the little ways Astarion's story and romance references itself.
Direct quote from my source:
Poe believed in “fashioning a tale like a kind of ouroboros, with its tail in its mouth, beginning with the final effect and working backwards to that the story’s beginning is a natural derivation of its conclusion.”
It's the setting up of the Romantic Astarion in act 1, finding out he's not as fine as he keeps insisting as the narrative swings into Dark Romantic territory, the paranoia starts to really come out (relating back to tell-tale heart), and then he is literally given a choice: continue the cycle or break free. The cycle of abuse is literally a circle here. He can take up Cazador's place in the ritual and step into his role entirely, reentering the ouroboros I mentioned earlier.
The "Thank you" when he first bites the player being referenced later when they see past his paranoia and how unreliable of a narrator he is about his own feelings and seeing that he doesn't want power. He wants safety in a world that he believes isn't capable of kindness or good.
I love how Astarion quotes The Tell-Tale Heart every once in a while. It's a rarer line, and initially I thought it was out of place (Neil is very well versed in theater, so I assumed it was a riff from him), but since reading an analysis of the work I think it was pretty purposeful.
The piece is all about fear and paranoia, things we know Astarion is plagued by despite how he might act. Similarly, the narrator of the story also tries to convince the reader that they are not as troubled as they seem. In the end, the narrator is consumed by the beating of the heart of the old man he killed and dismembered, the sound growing louder and louder until in a fit of rage he reveals the body to the police to absolve himself from the persistent beating.
Except the police never heard the heart beat, because it wasn't the old man's heart at all. The narrator was consumed by the sound of his own heart beating more and more rapidly in his chest from fear. He was the owner of the thing that forced him to reveal his true nature, he is the owner of the tell-tale heart.
And what happens with Astarion after you romance him? He realizes over time that, while he tried to deny his feelings and was initially only interested in manipulating you for his own means, he actually has grown to care for you. You have done something to his heart that hasn't happened in centuries, you have made it feel as if it has started beating again.
Therefore, his tell-tale heart leads him to admit his transgressions, which were committed out of fear and paranoia for his safety.
So the line is actually very, very apt. His confession during Act 2 is his own version of "Villains! Dissemble no more! I admit the deed! Tear up the planks! Here, here! It is the beating of his hideous heart!" Except, of course, it is his own heart that he is unearthing for us (and it's not so hideous, after all).
#this got my brain churning as someone who studied Poe's writing techniques and stuff#i did an intense study of his writing style back when i was in college lol#i'm so sorry if this derailed a bit#i was gonna make my own post but this was the one that got me thinking so#here i am#i literally saw this at like 6:50 am so my thoughts aren't as full as i'd like#but i wanted to add this bc i've been thinking about it a lot for the reasons i stated above lol#my writing style is very heavily influenced by poe due to how much i've researched him for analytical papers & for mimicking his style#i also think some of his more difficult writing may come back to like#he feels like a poe pastiche thrown into a video game#and all his difficult convo trees where you get no information?#astarion is an unreliable narrator of his own story#he doesn't WANT the truth out there#they also very well could have chosen like#the black cat or one of his poems#but tell-tale heart very specifically has to do with the paranoia that causes you to hurt people who never hurt you#the only thing the old man did was stare with that vulture eye#i also have Thoughts about how Astarion's story is a Dark Romantic Gothic Horror#but one that ends on a good note OR can end with him back in the cycle of abuse#and his good end rejects the pessimism that comes with dark romanticism#while also seeing the world not as perfectly good#but finding hope that in spite of the bad parts of life#the good outweigh the bad and make it worth lowering your defenses and truly living#or else be trapped by paranoia and fear for eternity#he has other things that are repeated in ways i don't see the same like#thread of connection through in other companion romances#for example if you ascend him he uses the “i love you” line#same tone as when he used it before while trying to convince LI to sleep with him a second night#and the fact that the cycle he's in now is just a reflection of what cazador and vellioth did#the family abuse cycle that traps and destroys

Heyy dunno if this is something you’d consider writing but I just saw an edit of Spencer and it made me realize we don’t really go into how he essentially relapsed when he was drugged in Mexico and now I need to see this in writing I don’t necessarily have a prompt but something along the lines of just having a convo with him or comforting him? 🫶🏼
the ninth step | S.R.
spencer works to make amends after mexico, and he's starting with you
who? spencer reid x fem!reader category: angst; hurt/comfort content warnings: drug use, narcotics anonymous, spoilers for 2x15 "revelations", spoilers for 12x13 "spencer", substance use disorder, fiancee!reader, the ninth step is amends, a lot of crying, only a little proofread word count: 1.11k a/n: you say no prompt and i say free reign!!! i think about spencer in mexico all the time so thank you sooo much for this request!
The only time anyone could find Spencer Reid in a church was when he was in a meeting.
As usual, you waited out front on one of the benches, leaning your elbow on the iron armrest as you kept your notebook balanced on your thigh, scribbling notes down as you waited for Spencer to come out and meet you.
Members of his group left the church in staggered variations of people, some left together to get coffee after, some left alone, and one didn’t leave at all. A few of them acknowledged you as they passed, but no one mentioned your fiancé.
Once your car was the last one remaining in the parking lot, you slipped your notebook into your bag before hauling it over your shoulder and standing up. Wiping off the back of your jeans, you walked through the front doors, noting the way the stained-glass windows refracted the remaining sunlight on the linoleum floor.
Knowing the pathway, you walked over to the meeting room, a space reserved for youth groups, Sunday school, and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. With the space vacated, the only sound was the tapping of your shoes as you passed through the doorway, and just as you had assumed, Spencer was the only person remaining in the windowless room.
He didn’t move as you approached him, sticking your hands in your jeans pockets as you silently assessed the despondent look on his face. “How are you?” You asked softly, tilting your head to the side.
“I’m just sitting,” he mumbled, it wouldn’t have been intelligible if you didn’t have years of practice understanding him and his mumbles. His old NA group had disbanded years ago, and you were glad to find this one close to your apartment.
Nodding understandingly, you took one more step closer to him, “Can I sit with you?”
Brown eyes flickered up at you just then as he seemingly considered your offer, “Yeah.”
Looking around, you hooked your ankle around the leg of an empty, gray folding chair and dragged it across the floor until it was next to Spencer. Setting your bag on the floor, you took your seat.
For a while, you sat in silence. For a while, that was enough.
After a couple of minutes, your silence was broken when Spencer finally moved, pressing the heels of his palms to his eyes, and your chest ached when slowly, his shoulders started to shake.
Getting out of your chair, you crouched in front of him, keeping your hands resting on your knees as you looked up at him, “Can I get you anything?” You asked, keeping your voice level as emotion threatened to take over.
You had known that today wasn’t going to be a good day from the moment Spencer asked you to drive him to the meeting. He asked you to take him because he was afraid that he wouldn’t make it there on his own, and at the time, you hadn’t even dared to consider the implications of what that meant for him.
Spencer’s hands fell to his lap, and you eyed him carefully as he took a deep breath. His eyes were bloodshot and watery as he looked at you just as intently – there was a dam built between the two of you, and there had been since he came home.
Things had changed. That much was clear to you ever since he came home to you and said the word out loud. A word that had seemed foreign in your household until it became a reality. You continuously had to remind yourself that you weren’t in this situation because of a decision he had made, you were here before of a choice that someone else had made for him.
It churned your stomach to see him knocked back down to day one. Six months later, you were here, in this denominational building, silently pleading with him to say something to you.
Holding your breath, Spencer reached his hands out, taking both of yours in his, “I’m so sorry.”
Your shoulders drooped. We don’t have to do this here, you wanted to tell him, but that’s not what he needed right now. Gently, you squeezed his hands in a comforting gesture, “I know you are, baby.”
“We…” he whispered, “Our lives should look a lot different right now.” He said, moving a finger and tapping the engagement ring on your left hand.
A previously planned wedding day had come and gone, Spencer had been in Millburn, and you spent the day on the couch in Emily’s office.
Refusing to disconnect your hands, Spencer wiped his face on his arm, the motion bringing a minuscule smile to your face. “I shouldn’t have gone to Mexico. I should’ve been more honest with you about where I had been going and what I was doing, and I know that now.”
You looked up at him, maintaining eye contact with him. He was trying to make amends with you.
“I know that there’s no amount of apologizing or groveling that can fully make up for everything you’ve lost because of me, but for as long as you keep having me, I’ll spend all of my days trying to make up for all of this,” he lamented, keeping his clammy hands clasped around yours. “Actions speak louder than words, that’s true, especially with amends, and… I’m trying.”
Spencer followed the NA handbook to the very finest minutiae, he stayed away from anything that his substance use disorder could cling onto, and as his voice broke and tears made pathways on his cheeks, you wanted to tell him that you saw him. You noticed every effort he made, but all you could do was cry in time with him.
Disconnecting your hands, he reached out and wiped away your tears before cupping both of your cheeks in his hands, “I’m never going to stop trying for you, Y/N.”
Your lips parted as you wandered the depths of your mind for something adequate to tell him, but nothing came out.
“All of the sacrifices that you’ve made in the name of the life that I messed up, I see them all. I think about them all the time and if there’s ever anything you need from me, just tell me, okay?” He implored, lifting your chin and gently guiding you up, pulling you toward him until you were sat with your legs perpendicular on his lap.
You let loose a shaky sigh, leaning your head and settling it on his shoulder, “Thank you,” you whispered, closing your eyes as he wrapped his arms around your torso, keeping you close to him.

The convo in coment section inspored me. Could you please write some headcanons about how the other boxers reacted to Don's new emo look? Please I need to see him ridiculed by the more mean ones😭. Also im to lazy to come up with headcanons myself-
Im so sorry it took me longer that usual to do this 😭 my motivation is coming back to me, trust we are slowly gonna be so fucking back
If there are any spelling mistakes or just mistakes in general, im so sorry
Anyway lets gooooooooooo ( •̀ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧
Reactions to Don going dark mode:
Glass Joe:
Didnt think much of it at first, until he saw Don redying his toupee in a sink using temporary dye which is when he realised "mon dieu is this guy serious?"
Is a little concerned, because Don just looks upset 24/7 (his eyeliner keeps smudging so he looks tired)
However, he is just letting Don do his own thing since he seems pretty happy with himself
Von Kaiser:
Since being the oldest member of the WBVA means he has seen fuck all go down, Dons sudden cosmetic change was just kinda there, Kaiser didnt mind it nor did he really care💀
Told Don to get better fucking eyeliner because his kept smudging and it was annoying Kaiser
Thinks Don is just going through a phase so he is letting him brood it out until it washes over
Disco kid:
Thought Don was being silly and laughed at him. He got yelled at and realised he was in fact NOT joking
Got worried because he thought Don was going to stay like that forever
Told Don about hot topic because he genuinely didnt know what else to say to his emo ass
King hippo:
King kinda gave 0 fucks, saw Don and offered him some snacks since his rbf lwk ruining the vibes
Didnt really react, just kinda groaned and walked away
Has no idea what emo is, just think Don looks moody but then again King doesnt really care
Piston hondo:
Didnt know wether to laugh or cry, he always knew Don was dramatic and sensetive but he never would of thought he would end up emo
asked him what was wrong like a good person... But secretly couldn't take him seriously
Had to consult the others in the major circuit to discuss (gossip) about the phenomenon (don)
Bear hugger:
Thought Don was just changing up his look for a fresh start
"hey pal! I like your new look"
"no you dont... Dont lie to me, my heart has already gone through enough pain..."
"....what? your heart hurts! Have you been to a doctor?"
Was really curious about this whole 'emo' style so he kept asking the others about it
Was the most confused during the emergency meeting Hondo held because he just thought Don was being Don (dramatic)
Great tiger:
He says he isnt a hater buuuut, sometimes he lets it slide, in this case when he saw Don he couldnt help but raise an eyebrow
Was trying to show concern to Don, but mid scentence he ended up cracking and lost it, bro started giggling in his face
Is not taking Don seriously, if anything he is trying to persuade him to go back to himself before
Aran ryan:
Did a double take, said "what the feck", and started cackling at Don brooding in the corner of the locker room
Realised halfway through flaming him that his hair was dyed darker, that only added fuel to the fire.
Now he gets called 'rosie posie' even more by the little shit since it counters his 'mysterious' exterior. Dont worry, Aran eventually got bored ofmaking fun of him. that changed when he saw his goofy ahh '6'5 mysterious alpha' stance in the ring
Soda popinski:
Thought Don was in mourning and suggested he should take a break.
Got told by Hondo he was 'emo' and Soda was just like oh ok im gonna take the piss out of him now!!!
Kept annoying Don by asking him to sing my chemical romance or fall out boy, to which Don obviously said hecks naw to
Bald bull:
Took one good look at Don and felt greatful he wasnt in the major circuit because to bull, Don gen looked like some sad moody teenager
Just avoided him because the last thing Bull wanted was a 6'1, 23 year old spaniard complaining about how dark his soul is or smth
Obviously, once yknow over coming the uh 'shock?' of seeing Don all emofied he stopped avoiding him but yeah. Bulk found it strange
Super macho man:
Said something along the lines of 'rock on crazy dude- black isnt your colour.'
Kept trying to make him confess if it was the little mac toupee incident or the rumored break up which made him go emo
joked and told Don to buy fishnet leggings (promptly got punched in the face afterwards by Don)
(btw, carmen and don are endgame dont even play with me rn /lh)
Sandman:
Saw him, turned around and left because he honestly was speechless and not in a 'oh!" way but more like an oh Wait what the fuck was that way-
Like Kaiser, he also told Don to use better eyeliner. He also told Don not to use so much other wise he will have severe panda eyes by the end of a match
Just didnt have alot to say about it really😭
・*:..。o♬*゚・*:..。o♬*゚・*:..。o♬*゚・*:..。o♬*゚*:..
This was alot of fun to write about!! Again sorry it took longer than usual, school has been kicking me up the arse 😭😭thanks for the ask! BRING BACK GUYLINER. 🗣️🗣️🗣️

++ wdym i havent finished the high-cloud quintet reunion angsty fic which is kind of but not really a sequel bc it can be read as a standalone to the jing yuan longfic where its hurt/very little comfort with the confrontation and harsh reality check that no one is the same and things will not be able to go back to the way they were and watching blade and jingliu fight made you realise you held out hope for seven hundred years for nothing and go to leave but blade taunts you due to feeling unsatisfied by your lacklustre responses and so you lash out with all the pent up grief from over the centuries bubbles over and when jingliu asks if there is anything you want to say to her before she gets sent to the yaoqing you merely say "i wish i never got involved with all of you. at least then i wouldn't have waited like a fool for something that would never be" amongst other things and then walk off only to break down when you're a safe distance away and wonder why you couldn't say the things you really mean, say how you missed them and couldn't stop worrying over whether they were okay or not yet???
(set during the jingliu companion mission bc i hate the hcq and they make me sob whenever i just think about them :D)
going through all my old hsr and genshin concepts rn and omg i need to write/finish some of these like actually???
like?? wdym i havent started the fallen/banished god!blade x god!reader 20k slow burn pining hurt/comfort "i have never stopped thinking about you for the last millennia and now that you're finally here in front of me once more i won't let you go even if you try to flee" old friends to barely recognisable husk of former self (reader pov of blade) to lovers fic yet???
wdym i havent started the reverse transmigration into a murder mystery novel where ur a side character who gets killed off for cheap plot progression and served as the main character (diluc)'s reason for vengeance with aether and lumine having transmigrated into the novel before your death and save you only to not realise that things happen for a reason and now they are constantly trying to protect you from all forms of death alongside the growing ragtag group of the main cast as they vie for your attention fic yet????
wdym i havent started the kamisama kiss au fic for both genshin and hsr despite having so many brainrots about the possible dynamics between familiar!characters under your contract and fellow god!characters who you meet along the journey of being a god yet???
wdym i havent started the devoted-yet-dramatic knight!argenti x fed-up-but-secretly-loves-it heir!reader 10k comedy pining slight hurt/comfort fic yet???
wdym i havent started that one-sided rivals (character yet to be decided on) time travel into the future where you find yourself married to self-proclaimed rival and have a crisis over how you came to be wed and where this affection from them came to be while they're wondering why you're avoiding them and acting like you did when you were both still students fic yet???
wdym i havent finished the soulmate!blade or actor!blade fics yet despite having so much groundwork laid out for them???
wdym i havent finished the transmigration into a fodder side character and accidentally stealing all the male leads from the female lead and then some more despite it already being 8-9k words in fic yet???
wdym i havent started the hsr version equivalent of the prev wip fic yet???
wdym i havent finished the cat dad bass player previously renowned national fencer university student blade 10k pining fic yet???
wdym i havent finished the hsr celeb/actor!various au despite being 5k words in and constantly revising what characters im actually including in it fic yet???
WDYM I STILL HAVE MORE WIPS ASIDE FROM THESE??????
#sophie talks : concepts <3#yea. i saw this one when i was in my hsr fics folder on the docs and then i watched the jingliu vs blade cutscene + after scenes again...#am currently watching it on loop with the convo -> fight cutscene -> blade pov -> blade waking up and then loop#hcq.... hcq..... hcq................#the cn voice overs will never not make me sob like a baby like i am being so very serious#but yea i really should finish this wip too bc i loved the idea so much like??? just imagine u waited all this time clinging onto the hope#that ur old friends are at least doing well only to see them 700 yrs later barely resembling their former selves while u just watch#everything u imagined crumble and shatter before u in that instance and then when u try to walk away to escape it all one of them#*coughs* blade *coughs* says smth that sets u off and blergh all that hurt accumulated overtime just spills over leaving an#ugly vulnerability in its rawest form and even if u wanted to u cant stop until ur left gasping for air and fighting off the tears and#wishing u could just go back and not take that hand bc at least then u would never have experienced this loss; this absolute#dread incarnate and feeble hope shattered before u in the most cruelest way imaginable and !!#yeah. i hate them#also if u read/remember the jy longfic [of lattes and dozing generals] then u would know how the reader in that didnt want#anything to do with jingliu despite her constantly monitoring and asking them to join her and jing yuan but ultimately gave in to their#“wretched curiosity” and as a result became friends with the hcq down the line and then got involved with the tragedy#...i still hate how that fic somehow foreshadowed the reunion bc it was literally like a patch or two after that when jl came out and#ofc her companion mission showed all of this and ioryhgkdhgl#anyway yeah. i hate my brain but i hate the hcq more.

Imagine Optimus seeing you with someone else laughing at a joke and immediately getting jealous af
gufgwyfgw ok forgive me if this is bad, its my first time writing like this. this might not actually completely fit the ask so if you want I can make another one to fit it
Yandere optimus prime being jealous(old)
Pairing: romantic
trigger warning: possessive behavior, stalking, manipulation/threats, mentioned violence, jealous.
I think that optimus would be a soft yandere like in the beginning he'd try to ignore his feelings but he'd hate to see you with anyone else.
especially if your human, he'd go to great lengths to avoid you before realizing just how much it hurt to be away from you.
after that he'd probably become just a little delusional thinking that you to were destined to be together.
when it comes to him being jealous i don't think he'd hurt them if they were an autobot, it's a complete didnt story if they were a con.
it also depends on who you were joking with
if it was bumble bee he probably wouldn't be upset, he'd most likely be happy you two are bonding
but anyone else would get a long lecture, that lecture would mean him threatening them.
i think it would take alot before he got to the point of ever hurting them if they were an autobot. he'd most likely try to contain himself.
you'd start to notice that everyone would avoid you or leave quickly when you finally got to talk to them. the only people not being optimus and bee.
you would have confided in them, asking if you were annoying or why everyone seemed to hate you so suddenly.
optimus would tell you that they just weren't good enough for you and couldn't see just how amazing you were.
he didn't mean to make them avoid you but he has no complaints against it because it only brought you closer to him.
there were still those few people who would talk to you, thats what really made you notice certain things about him
how he'd glare at them, or complete push them out of the convo.
when you did confront him about it, he just told you he was looking out for you and that they didn't deserve you that they were going to hurt you like everyone else.
this would keep going on until you started to push yourself away from everybody, that's when you started to get paranoid
you had this every lasting feeling that you were being watch, when you told optimus about it he told you that it was all in your head and that everything was fine
but it continued and you could have sworn you saw optimus watching you
Its not stalking if he's just making sure people continue to keep their dirty hands off you.
"you only need me to protect you, I want your eyes on me and only me"

Yesterday i got the craziest message out of the blue .. My ex bf from 2011-2013's other ex gf who he was with before me hit me up to say that he got arrested?? And that her and like 5 other people are pressing charges against him for assault spanning across all different periods of time.. it's really wild idk how to feel. She said if i feel comfortable i can give my own testimony for when they go to court , even tho i dont live in england anymore.. Im like yeah honestly i will because like this dude is so unrelentingly violent and scary he legit almost killed me it was so extreme, i've known a lot of corrupt ppl but he is the only one i've always thought needs to be locked away from society like it's a murder scene waiting to happen not to mention he is just a straightup rapist
it's crazy too cus like 4 or 5 nights ago i had a dream that me and him and the girl who messaged me were all watching videos of ourselves in that time period like i even posted about it on here. i thought it was just a typical trauma processing dream not an actual premonition of something i would have to revisit irl
She said something about how she'd been looking back in her old fb messages with him to help paint a picture of the timeline so out of morbid curiosity today i checked to see if i still had ours. Sure enough i do, i've never looked at them retroactively before, but holy shit like... He is so much more of a monster than i even remembered, i dont get triggered easily anymore but it genuinely hurt my heart to see how horrible he was. Every conversation is just him snapping at me because i didnt respond to him fast enough or something so minor, and the whole time im just trying to apologize and de-escalate but it makes him more and more furious. the day before i was about to fly to london to move back in with him he was threatening to kill himself because i was going to my friends house to say bye to them. He was like "You're going to a party i just know it you're lying to me you'd never tell me you're really going to a party because you know i'm suicidal you've ruined my night you're a piece of shit" Like this was the NIGHT before i was about to leave everything behind just for him
i'm like rly shocked at everything i saw in that convo today im not even scratching the surface with this post. Anyways i guess it's cool that there is some justice happening right now and the people who survived him have been able to band together to try and ensure he can't hurt anyone else in the future. i rly wish none of us ever had to go thru any of that tho ugh i was so young i just really had no idea and it fucked me up for many many years afterwards. ive come a long way tho .
ill probly delete later cus idk who lurks this blog. i prefer not to show weakness :K But yeah.. just wanted to express this crazy unexpected life event and get it off my chest while its fresh
Peace and love !!!
#maybe trigger warning for ppl who hsve been in abusive relationships idk#ultimately i think it is triumphant tho..

One more scene from Fuuta-Es convos with @waivyjellyfish for now :3 I liked exploring Es' post-canon mindset as an ex-murder investigator... Like my other drabble, I don't have the details worked out but Milgram is over and they're living at the Kajiyamas' now.
What Fuuta didn’t know wouldn’t hurt him.
It’s what Es told themself as they slipped into his clothes. They’d spotted the outfit at the bottom of Fuuta’s closet a few days ago, then decided to bide their time. With Fuuta and his sister downstairs having breakfast, there was a small window of opportunity now.
Es stuck their arm through the red-striped sleeve. They still didn’t know what possessed them to put it on.
Was it the appeal of something familiar? In a world devoid of all memories, they enjoyed the idea of putting on at least one outfit that they’d seen hundreds of times on their little music video screen. Is it possible to be comforted by someone else’s memories?
Was it old habits? They’d spent each trial doing anything and everything to feel closer to the prisoners. To take a peek into their minds. To step into their shoes. This was taking it a bit literally, they knew. Although everything was over and they had no reason to connect so deeply to any of the prisoners, Es couldn’t get away from the duty they’d obsessed over for so long.
Maybe it was just their troublesome curiosity, always driving them forward. There was a small part of them that hungered for more information, no matter the reason. They were perfectly aware that putting on Fuuta’s red and blue tracksuit would probably offer them absolutely nothing new, but they had to try. Something might be revealed to them, and they needed to know.
Es stood in front of the full length mirror. They turned one way. They turned the other way. They shifted their arms. They cocked their head.
Sure enough, nothing.
They took note of the little details. It was a little big on them, (though it wouldn’t take them long to catch up to Fuuta’s size). It was neither fashionable nor tacky. The material wasn’t exactly comfortable, but at least it felt warm.
But, did it make them feel any closer to Fuuta?
They contemplated a moment, thinking of all that he may have done in the outfit. There were so many classes these pants had walked to, so many arcade coins that these pockets had held. Es wondered if his friends ever nudged the shoulders of the jacket playfully. Maybe they weren’t the type. It had probably seen it’s share of all nighters. And also lazy days spent in bed, or sick days laid up on the couch.
They puffed their chest out, thinking of the confidence Fuuta may have had wearing this. They pulled the hood over their hair. It had likely seen just as much as his hesitance. How many times had he sunk into the thick material for an escape? Or was there an opposite effect – did he feel so comfortable in this that he could commit murder?
Es stared at themself.
There came some shuffling out in the hall. Before Es could move, Fuuta was shouting to his sister and bursting into the room.
“Will you get out of my fucking hair if I bring it to you right –” he froze. “Now...”
Es, too, was frozen in place, their eyes wide.
“I-I’m sorry.” They started unzipping the jacket. “I saw it and… I didn’t mean to –”
“ – It’s fine,” Fuuta muttered. He waved his hand dismissively. He started shuffling things around in his desk drawer, angling his head down, out of sight. His voice was strained, though it wasn’t as angry as Es had been expecting. “It’s not like I’m ever gonna wear it again.”
Es carefully folded the jacket over their arm. “I wasn’t trying to bring up the past. I was just…” What had they been doing?
“I said it’s fine.”
“I know it’s not.”
“You don’t know anything. Wear it every day for all I care. I was just gonna toss it.”
“You still can. Or, I can.”
“Nah.” Fuuta retrieved what he was looking for. He paused in the doorway, taking one last look over his shoulder. “Looks better on you, anyway.”
Es straightened in surprise as he left. They took another look in the mirror. They allowed themself a small smile. They might have undersold how comfortable it was.
Now that they were thinking of it, they did look pretty cool… Maybe that was all there was to it.
#milgram#es#fuuta kajiyama#instead of mvs jackalope should just let es wear the prisoners' murder outfits#adfasdf but really - theres always an interesting closeness that comes from sharing clothes#and i think investigator-brained es would be going crazy with Thoughts#i love the idea of them unable to stop analyzing the prisoners even when theres no need to anymore#it was their One And Only Purpose In Life for a long time and thats hard to shake you know?#also listen. i had to cut a line that ruined my dramatic flow but listen. fuuta was SO nervous wearing that when she died.#hed be scared and running home and sweating. and then hed refuse to touch it from the emotional pain so it would never get washed.#that thing is Boy Stinky im so sorry to break it to you -_-#thank you for the ideas pal!!! im taking a break now but im keeping the others in my back pocket - maybe to write more at some point 👀#drabbles

hi i've never done this before so idk if i'm doing this right or if you even take suggestions 😭 i just saw this tiktok and instantly thought of your paramedic steve story and felt like you could probably execute some sort of oneshot/series based on it
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRpKYet8/
like i really just wanna see steve being a groupie that's all.
I've never said I don't take suggestions 👀
Anon, I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting. I wanted to finish the main story before doing this. It's been in the back of my mind since you sent it, though.
It's kinda filthy; not sure if that's what you wanted, but considering the connotations the word "groupie" has... I hope you like this.
If Eddie were to make a list of things that make him happy, performing would be near the top. Any kind of performing would do – anything that has him at the center, an audience eating out of his hand – but music is the one he keeps returning to. He could probably do this for real, for a living.
It's just a shame about the fuckery connected to it.
Like, the performance? The thrashing around on stage, the screaming until it hurts, the bone-rattling volume of the music and the crowd? Perfect. Beautiful. Spectacular.
But the business side of it? Makes him want to puke.
He wants to create without capitalism. Entertain without exploitation. Touring sounds fun; stress does not. Interacting with fans could be great if he didn't know how crazy some people got around their idols. They're not even famous now, but sometimes he'll notice repeat visitors in the crowd and wonder if their awestruck expression is innocent or if they're plotting how to kidnap him, skin him alive, and wear him as a bathrobe.
He's not actually worried, okay? He's just wondering. All of the 'fans' he's talked to after shows are nice and normal (well, normal for his standards); he wouldn't mind speaking with most of them again.
Eddie especially wouldn't mind a post-show convo with the front-row hottie to his left. He looks out of place, hair too short to headbang with and dressed in a sleeveless navy button-up rather than a band shirt, but that's how Eddie likes 'em.
When the bass solo hits, he falls to his knees in front of the hottie. Sends him a winning smile that's returned ten times over. Don't tell anyone, but the kneeling was a strategic decision – no way could Eddie meet those gorgeous, hazel eyes directly without swooning. At least not when he's already incensed, dick half-hard from the adrenaline rush.
Some kids who aren't old enough to be in a bar shriek at the proximity to him, but Eddie ignores them. Right now, until the bass solo is over, the only ones who matter are him and Steve.
Steve puts his hands on the stage and pushes, heaving himself off the ground. Not enough to get on the stage, just to bring him another inch into Eddie's space. Eddie closes the distance, leaning in so their foreheads touch. His hair falls forward, curtaining them from the noise and the lights. Their breaths mingle, Eddie's as heavy pants and Steve's as calm puffs. Steve tilts his head, and Eddie prepares for a kiss. He gets no lips, only tongue; Steve licks his mouth, from one corner to the other. Eddie's own tongue darts out, flicking his tip at Steve's. Steve chuckles, throaty and full, and Eddie goes from half-hard to aching.
The solo finishes. Eddie throws himself backward, back hitting the grimy floor, and shreds while thrusting his hips into his Sweetheart.
When he looks back up, the crowd is wild, his band is killing, and Steve is resting his elbows on the stage, staring at Eddie with a grin and a wanton gleam in his eyes.
After the gig, and after packing their shit in the car, they head back inside. One step past the threshold and someone tries trapping him in a conversation. Always dependable, Gareth slips between and takes the hit, allowing Eddie to make a beeline for the bar where Steve is waiting.
He sides up beside Steve, who doesn't acknowledge him. No, he stays cool, casually leaning against the counter, fingers wrapped around a sweating beer bottle, the length of his neck on display as he drinks. His shirt is juuuuuust verging on too small, the fabric taut across his chest and the buttons begging for mercy when he squares his shoulders.
Eddie orders his own beer, downs half in preparation, and says, "So."
Steve glances at him, brow raising as he licks stray droplets from his bottom lip. Eddie's by-now-calmed cock twitches. What a fucking tease.
"Did you like the show?"
"Yeah, man, you were great," Steve says, turning his body toward Eddie, wearing a coquettish smile.
"Not sure I've seen you here before. I think I'd remember you." Eddie runs a finger over the frayed edge of the button-up's armhole. He resists touching Steve's bicep – he can show restraint, too! "You stand out."
"I'm new to the scene. Think I need someone to show me the ropes." Steve slides nearer, enough to murmur and still be heard. "Do you know anyone willing?"
Eddie takes a quick scan of the place, thoughtful hum included. He shrugs. "Me?"
"You'd do that?"
"Sure. I'm at your service," he says with a little bow. "Tell me what you're most curious about and we'll start from there."
"I want to know… how do I get closer to the hot, local musicians?"
There are mere inches between them. On top of the bar's stuffiness, heat radiates off Steve's body. His warmth and the spicy scent of his cologne hit Eddie like a train. His head spins with hazy sensations.
"How close do you want to get?" he asks, breathless.
"As close as you let me. I mean," Steve tucks a lock behind Eddie's ear, leaning in to whisper, "isn't the rockstar lifestyle all about taking the prettiest groupie to the backroom and making them suck you off?"
Eddie swallows half his tongue. When Steve said he was going to proposition him after the show, Eddie expected flirting followed by a 'let's get out of here, your place or mine?'. He didn't see the offer of semi-public sex coming. It's one of those things he's fantasized about but never had the chance to do. Steve must've done it before, though. Probably dozens of times. Fuck, that's so hot.
"Well, I'm not really a rockstar yet-" he says quickly, matching the pace his brain goes at the image of Steve's lips wrapping around him with the buzz of a crowd just a room over.
Steve sighs fondly. "Eddie..."
"-and this place doesn't exactly have a backroom, so-"
"They have a restroom, don't they?" Steve interrupts.
"Oh, uh, yep. They sure do."
Steve smiles, and then he's gone. Eddie finishes his beer and takes a couple of deep breaths before following.
The Behemoth's restroom is actually two small, single-occupancy rooms. Room number one has its door wide open and is empty. Room number two's door is ajar; when Eddie nudges it, Steve yanks him inside and crowds him against the sink.
"Oh, babe, your awkward ramblings and weird behavior really turn me on," he says with zero inflection as he locks the door.
Eddie frowns. "Don't be rude. I won't teach you anything unless I'm shown my due respect."
"I'm sorry, sir," Steve says, using his 'paramedic voice', and smirks at Eddie sucking a sharp breath between his teeth. It's cheating. He knows what that voice does to Eddie. "Let me prove how much I respect you."
He drops to his knees and unbuckles Eddie's belt with smooth, quick hands, eyes focused on the task. Eddie grips the sink behind him for support.
"Have you done this before? In public, I mean."
"Yeah. Have you?"
"Nope. That's a 'no' on that one, chief."
"Nice. I love being people's first," Steve says, tugging Eddie's jeans and boxers down in one go.
Eddie would shoot back with something clever, if his brain hadn't whited out by Steve unceremoniously taking Eddie's whole cock into his mouth, just like that. The only sound he manages is a squeak that morphs into a moan as Steve slowly deepthroats him.
He should be used to the maddening pace by now – Steve always goes slow at the start – yet here he is, fingers cramping and hips trembling as he stops himself from thrusting. It's just so fucking good, the best he's ever had. Part of it is technique, but an equally huge part is enthusiasm – Steve likes this so much. He loves making Eddie fall apart no matter the place or position. Happy to please and smug about being so good at it. It could be infuriating, if Eddie had enough solid brain cells left to feel anything other than bliss.
The tip of Steve's nose touches his pubes now, his cockhead all the way down in Steve's throat. Steve sighs, his breath tickling, and swallows around Eddie. His eyelashes cast long shadows on his cheeks in the dim light. From this angle, his eyes look bigger, deeper, prettier when he looks up at Eddie. His tongue, pressed flat against the underside of the shaft, sweeps playfully as he pulls back. Like a French kiss on his cock, fuck.
Heat prickles across Eddie's face and neck; his breaths stutter and his jaw hangs slack. Steve puts his large hands on Eddie's thighs and starts bobbing his head, cheeks hollowing. Whimpering, Eddie grabs Steve by the back of his head, just to feel the silky hair. Oh, to be allowed to fuck into that perfect mouth… but he's not. No thrusting unless given explicit permission, and never any pushing. Steve hates being 'trapped' and 'having his airways obstructed'. The way he said it hints at a story, but he hasn't told and Eddie won't ask. Steve will let him know when it's time. As of now, Eddie is simply grateful he gets to know Steve doesn’t want to choke when sucking his cock.
Steps clomp outside the restroom – someone is walking down the corridor. Shit, did they lock the door? Yes. Yes, Steve did. And the first room is unoccupied, so there's no reason for anyone to try entering here. Well, no reason for a rational person, but humans can be surprisingly irrational. Maybe they'll decide they want this restroom, closed door be damned.
Steve bobs faster, hand squeezing the base where his mouth doesn't quite reach. He's relaxed, eyes shut and moaning with contentment. The vibrations of his voice would be enough to have Eddie fighting to last, if he wasn't currently tearing in half.
On the one hand, he has an Adonis kneeling in front of him, eagerly giving him head. On the other hand, someone one thin door away might soon be interrupting said head. Or worse: discover it. He and Steve would be the ones in trouble then, wouldn't they? Even though they're only semi-publicly indecent. Eddie's been arrested and charged once, for a bullshit reason by malevolent cops. The hours in jail were bad, but the aftermath was worse since the bail money put a serious dent in their budget. The point is that Eddie doesn't want a repeat. Shit, what's the penalty for public indecency in Indiana?
"D'you know what's the penalty for public indecency?" he asks. Steve's eyes snap open; his head stills. "Is it jail, is it a fine, or is it jail and a fine?"
Steve pulls off, and, oh, air on spit-damp cock is always an interesting feeling. He frowns at Eddie, wiping drool off his chin.
"Why are you asking me this now?"
Eddie gestures between them. Steve rolls his eyes.
"No, yeah, I know, but why are you asking me this now?"
Outside, the door to the first restroom closes. Crisis averted, then. Steve doesn’t seem to have noticed there was a potential crisis. Best not to tell him – why should both worry about nothing?
Eddie shrugs. "I'm curious. Maybe risk assessment is a kink of mine."
Steve blinks at him. He inhales deeply, his face starting to contort before he hides it in his hands. Shit, did Eddie piss him off? Pretty typical of… wait, no. That's not angry-trembling.
It's laughter.
"Steve," Eddie says, smiling at Steve doubling over with mirth. "Stevie. Darling love."
The peals of laughter continue, echoing in the tiny room. It's adorable, but also audible. They'll definitely be found out like this.
"Steve, my dick's getting cold."
Steve brays out the next one. He slaps a hand over his mouth and thumps his head against Eddie's bare thigh. Happy snorts spill past his fingers, his body convulsing.
"Maybe we should continue this later," Eddie says.
"No!" Steve shoots upright, holding out his hands. "Just gimme a minute…"
Giggling, he wipes tears from his eyes. Gradually, his breathing evens out. He nods.
"Okay, I'm good," he says and grabs Eddie's softening cock, lapping up the drying precome with a swirl of his tongue.
Eddie groans, slumping against the sink. "Dude, unfair. How can you go from sounding like a donkey to this in seconds?"
"Don't complain," Steve says, pinching Eddie's leg.
"I'm no- oooooh!"
Eddie shouts. He's back to full mast, because Steve just took one of his testes in mouth and is sucking on it like it's a jawbreaker. Screw the penalty – this is worth a life sentence.
Letting go with a wet pop, Steve returns his attention to Eddie’s cock. Ember eyes pin Eddie in place as Steve sucks on the cockhead, tongue playing with the slit, pushing and pulling at the foreskin, caressing the vein on the underside. His hand cups Eddie's balls, gently rolling them between calloused fingers. Eddie's knees are buckling, the sink his only support, and he throws his head back, mewling and panting. Steve rubs a knuckle against Eddie's taint, and that's it – he comes with a whine, spilling onto Steve's tongue. He swallows, of course. Holy fucking Christ, Eddie loves him.
As he recovers, Steve tucks him in and zips him up. Steve is still hard, but he makes no indication he'll deal with it yet. Eddie has a feeling they'll sneak out and take care of him at Eddie's place.
"Fun, wasn't it?" Steve asks, standing up and wrapping his arms around Eddie's waist.
"Yeah." Eddie rests against his solid frame. "M'sorry."
"For what?"
"I'm sorry you have to put up with me."
Grinning, Eddie tilts his head up, lips puckered. Steve kisses him, smiling into it.
"I don't have to put up with anything."

I am madly in love with your artstyle and its been a big big inspiration for me as of late. Also, what are your thoughts on Jane and Bonnie? Do you like them or not
AAA thank you so much thats so flattering to hear 🥺💕!!
my feelings on jane and bonnie are nuanced just like my opinion on many of twdg characters. but i love twdg for all its messy fucked up characters :) its fun :) so while i dont hate either of them they definitely still do things that piss me off
in janes case, i think her mentorship/sisterhood with clem came more from her guilt about her sister than actually wanting to have this 11 year old around. so while she would teach clem important survival skills, she was also always quick to leave or act selfishly (clems "i thought you believed in me 🥺" always makes me sad). and this is just solidified by her actions in her S3 flashbacks. i do think she TRIES to work with the group, but she just gets in her own way and is never able to fully integrate, especially since the S2 cast is a fucked up mess in and of itself so its understandable. her actions at the end of S2 are born of pure selfishness, leaving a newborn infant in a random freezing vehicle so she could "show clem what kenny was really like" when clem is WELL AWARE of the thread this madman is hanging on to (having already faced the brunt of his frustrations MULTIPLE times at this point, and is desperate not to lose anyone else). she wanted a fight and she got one. i think maybe she told herself it was about saving clem, but honestly i dont think that was really ever her goal. again i just think a lot of her motivation comes out of the guilt of leaving her sister behind, so she saw clem as a second chance to make things right. but depending on clems actions, she can end up on her own without either of them, and jane can be the sister left behind to die. its interesting to see clem kinda pick up janes personality in the first half of S3 now that shes also at a point where she has no one and trusts no one, and is deep down lonely and longing for community. the difference is clem is not selfish (while still caring about self preservation), and actually likes being able to help people when she can. shes more so just afraid of caring for people again to protect herself from what she sees is the inevitable pain of losing them, as opposed to janes "theyre all just gonna bring you down so you should be on your own instead" outlook. but i definitely saw jane (and luke) as a bigger mentor/big sister(/brother) figure to clem than kenny was to her. jane actually taught her how to take care of herself. kenny was just someone from her past she didnt want to let go of
in bonnies case, she can be really horrible to clem if she listened to luke and stayed back instead of trying to grab him, so i'll literally try to save luke just so i dont have to hear it 😭 but also i like the convo her and clem have on the steps if you tried to save him. its an important character moment for clem, being asked what SHE wants instead of what the people around her want, and that she should start thinking about that, which is formative to the decision she makes (or fails to make) at the rest stop. the way bonnie is initially dismissive of carvers behavior i think is supposed to mirror the way clem can be dismissive of kennys behavior after leaving howes. will they come to see the man they once respected is becoming someone unstable? (i used to be in the "kenny might be going crazy but he'd never hurt clem" camp UNTIL i picked the "lee shouldnt have tried to save me 😔" option in the car and kenny threatened to smack her for it AFTER giving it a moment of hesitation so he KNEW what he was saying there. my jaw was dropped. but kenny is just another interesting flawed character in a game of interesting flawed characters (although they Heavily backtracked on the kenny/carver parallels in the S3 flashbacks. you can make the argument hes happier now but idk he cant come back from the threat for me he MEANT that)). bonnie leaving with mike is fucked but understandable, and she can show real concern after clem gets shot before getting chased off by kenny. i hope her and mike are still out there somewhere i dont hate either of them, even tho it was horrible of them to steal ALL of their supplies when they knew they were leaving TWO children behind. like cmon. but overall i liked bonnie :) shes a bit of a mess but i like her for it
in the end i am a twdg woman character forgiver :) i do love all the fucked up ladies its refreshing let them do dumb shit and make mistakes!!! i love mess :)
#replies with lexi#plamglam#twdg#all the misogynists in this fandom GET BACK these female characters are refreshing for being so fucked up#if your fucked up fave men are “understandable” you can understand the fucked up women too 😐

Someone on twitter just compared me to Zeefixesart just because I did a harmless redraw of someone's art.. !! Do not harass or attack anyone mention in this post !!
It all started when I saw someone having a big deal over a drawing that a 17 yr old did basically calling it "gooner bait" because the artist drew a roblox noob and Baller as women base on that one tiktok video.
Let me say I love her art and I saw someone commenting wishing that they were plus sized or fat, so I took inspiration to respectfully redraw the piece (ofc, mentioning in the comment section of the post that the redraw was made for fun and NOT made to attack, harass or hurt the OP in anyway)
A lot of people seem to like the art piece and I had no problems with it, all except for one user who seem to have an issue.. that being MMOGirl2005 who decided to accuse me to having ill-intentions when I did the redraw and accuse me of being EXACTLY like Zeefixesart (someone who redraws people's art out of spite and such). Here's the full convo
Then, they stopped replying so I thought ya know maybe they finally understood, uNTIL THEY DECIDED TO FUCKING QRT'D ME
So like wise, I replied to the post showing that I was no fucking happy with the idea that they accuse me of being just like Zee for simply wanting to redraw someone's art as plus sized characters.
And they have the audacity to say that they do not wanna continue to the convo and rather have two of their goons to defend them even though THEIR clearly in the wrong.
Like I said, when I redrew that piece I did not redraw it out of spite or to be rude to the og artist, I just wanted to do my own harmless interpretation of it.. it was NEVER made out of spite and I even stated that I did not give a shit that the artist drew them to be thin with thicc thighs because, at the end of the day it's their art.

(hi, sorry in advance for rambling in your asks lol) I saw your post about ElQuackity having emotional capacity and I totally agree---how I see it is, I think there's a big difference between "being emotionless" and "not being able to understand the fundamental motivations of others if they're different from your own". Like from what I've seen (granted I haven't watched ElQuackity much, feel free to correct me) he's kind of got the mindset that everyone is basically self-serving and dishonest, it's just that some people hide it and some don't. Therefore he's caught off-guard by, or even blind to, displays of genuine selflessness and community among the other islanders, and he doesn't fully realize how much his own behavior stands out to them. Also, you talking about the convo he had with qSlime after the dinner reminded me that literally minutes later he was attacked by qMaximus, and during that fight, qMaxo (unknowingly) added salt to the wound by saying 'you know why they're [qCellbit + qRoier] are helping me fight you? Because I have friends. And Quackity had friends. Not you.' Yeahhhh so if anybody heard ElQuackity's venomous, foul-mouthed reaction to that statement and saw him flee the scene right after, and still wants to say that ElQ can't feel emotions....lol nahhh he was hurt by that one for sure x'D
[WHWHW old ask sorry morning aloe!]
posting this ask because it's AWESOME!!! BIIG AGREE WITH THIS!!
Clone or not, elQuackity still had feelings and has shown that several times even if they aren't obvious or positive. His reactions and mindset also stems from just ,,, never getting to be a part of that community - which in a sad way perhaps him and q!Quackity share that in common (for q!Q too late or not enough for him to understand)
Q!Quackity/elQuackity's story will forever be fascinating to me as it's so heavily tied with the roles and backstory of the Federation/island itslf. How a person responds to the cards they are dealt with - does he follow it? does he reject it? are these motivations even his?

Human Cas <3
the idea that Cas is human post-canon is so special to me. Like Jack releases him from the empty, and instead of making him angelic like Chuck kept doing because Dean ‘needed him for his power’, Jack listened to Cas’s greatest wish: to grow old with the people he cares about. To grow old with Dean. And at first, Cas is super depressed because “Dean only keeps me around because he needs me for my skills/powers” and “Dean has kicked me out before when I was powerless” but as soon as that man steps foot in the bunker and Dean realizes it’s really him just sans powers, it’s a fix it arc for what should have happened after April. No kicking him out, no “you have to leave”s (I know it was for Sam but idgaf). Just making him PB&Js, giving him all of Dean’s favorite foods because “now that Cas can taste, he needs to know what ____ tastes like”. And like, Jack would. They had that whole convo about “humans only burn bright for a little bit” and Jack SAW how much that hurt Cas to think about, so he does the one thing he can to repay the man who gave him so much.

rewatch thoughts - ep 210
"screw the dance. i wanna change the music" i said it last episode but i really love it when it's them against the world (totally saying this because i know season 3 will make me suffer)
gordo's arc this season was really about dealing with mental (on top of physical) health issues and joe's arc was basically an identity crisis. both of these are background arcs (joe's less so). i know it's old news because pretty much every article written about the show mentions that season 2 switches the focus on the women and/or that they become the heart of show. but still, crazy what this writing room did with season 2 when you consider what season 1 was. this does not happen often
donna is so fond of cameron
i'm gonna enjoy every single second of this before it starts hurting
donna is like "its not the horrible things my wife did, it's the horrible things we did TOGETHER. we're a TEAM"
i am not proud to say donna in her pjs getting upset while arguing with gordon is incredibly attractive to me
the "I think we should move to california" convo is one of my all-time favorite moments
donna basically using gordon's guilt to get him to pay for mutiny's mainframe... the woman that she is ! it's crazy to me that joe never saw this in her, or maybe he did and he just saw someone he couldn't control
lol joe being like i tried to be authentic but no one else is so it's their fault i'm back to being an asshole. bitch, please
#it's crazy how much meeting cam changed donna's life#do you ever think about that?#i do#often#halt and catch fire#hacf 2024 rewatch#am i ready for season 3?#is anyone ever ready to have their heart ripped out of their chest?

Arthur gets some Flashbacks to His Youth™️
Based off of this little convo with apersonwholikeslotus :>
I...Started writing cause this thought consumed my brain for a moment so here have a little snippet of the School of Punk AU of how this scene actually plays out :}
Arthur could hear the sound of his daughter’s pounding feet against the wood of the floor before he even saw her.
“Dad!” Abigail exclaimed, the flooring beneath rapidly squeaked as eagerly shuffled in place.
Not wanting to lose his place in his book, he halfheartedly paid attention to her as he searched for his bookmark, “Yes, poppet?”
A few more footsteps later, this time muffled by the carpet she had just stepped onto, Arthur could see the silhouette of his daughter in his peripheral.
Ah, there it was. Cheeky little thing slipped between the couch cushions.
“Daaaaaad!” His daughter whined.
Sighing as he finished placing the bookmark in its designated slot, he looked up at her.
There she was, standing in the living room in his old punk jacket. It was a red so dark it was almost black, just like his daughter’s long and wildly curly hair. The patches he had sown on it when he was but a teen were still there, although some were fraying at the seams. The leather seemed to be fine, no leather rot in sight, much to his subconscious relief. It fit poorly on her as it was a few sizes too big, almost completely enveloping her arms and hands.
“What do you think? Pretty cool, innit?” Abigail said as she gave a little twirl, showing it off.
“Yeah…” He said, not fully present in the moment.
Abigail immediately stopped her little modeling gig, “Something wrong?” she asked.
Arthur blinked a few times in order to force himself to focus,”No. No, nothing is wrong.”
His daughter began to play with one of the small little pieces on the jacket,”Are you sure? I know I’m not really supposed to go up to the attic by myself, and—”
“It’s alright,” He said, cutting her off gently as he stood up. Were his knees always this achy?
A bittersweet smile graced his lips as he approached his daughter who was staring curiously at him with bright hazel eyes.
“That was my jacket you know,” He began to say as he adjusted said clothing to better fit the girl, “ Actually, I got it when I was about your age; maybe a little bit older.”
“Am I getting some dad lore?” Abigail said in that blunt manner of hers.
Arthur did a slight double-take, “Pardon?”
“Y’know? Dad lore? Where your dad never really talks about anything from their past until really random moments and it’s always the most bizarre thing you’ve ever heard?” Abigail stated as if she was asking him if he knew what a bird was.
“No need to get cheeky,” he chided, “but I see your point.”
His eyes’ softened as he watched her nose crinkle and her braces-filled smile widened as she giggled.
“Do you want it?” He asked her, “I…suppose I have no use for it anymore.”
“Does that make you sad?” Abigail said, tilting her head slightly.
Arthur chuckled, “I suppose the ever creeping march of time can be a bit disheartening, but it can be a wonderful thing too.”
“Are you getting sappy on me?”
“Oh, very much so,” He said as he pulled his little one into a hug, which she gleefully returned.
“Are you sure I can have it,” She asked, voice muffled by his sweater.
He caressed her leather coated arm with his thumb. It was odd to feel the leather of it on his skin again. It had been so many years since he had last seen, let alone felt it…
“Of course, darling.” He planted a quick kiss on her head, “Would much rather have you wear it than let it keep collecting dust up there.”
“Be careful with it,” He said a little more sternly than he intended, “it’s old…and important…and valuable…and—”
“I get it,” Abigail groaned, “it’s a frail old man whose seen stuff, just like you.” a smirk appeared on her face in that silly little way it did when she was joking.
“Oi!” He feigned hurt feelings, ”I’m not that old.”
“You’re getting there!”
“Don’t make me take that bloody jacket back.” He replied dryly.
“Nooo!” She laughed.
Arthur watched as Abigail eventually flitted away to show off her jacket to her step-brother. That thing had been there for him in his darkest of times, the weight it carried will always be there with him, even if the jacket no longer was. It was still hard to let that era of his life go, it seemed, however he was very glad that it found a new home with someone that he knew would love it just as dearly as he did.
#hetalia#my art#aph nyo america#my writing#school of punk au#if you couldn't tell I drew the doodles before I wrote which is why he's still holding the book open LMAO

Got tagged by several lovely people because no one knew I’d already been tagged. Because it took me several hours to copy/paste WIP titles/first sentences into a document lolol. Super happy to finally make it happen though @orbitalpirate @kvetchinglyneurotic and @jamietarttdodododododo !
Game: put the titles of your WIPs, reguardless of how vague or uninformative they are and let people send asks about them. Tag some people, maybe the amount of WIPs you have.
A) I’m big in Ted Lasso so I’m only posting the 120 for this fandom. If someone wants the list of 50 for Dirk Gently or 2 dozen for My Hero Academia; just holler at me!
