How date-able are twst boys? ♡

inspired by @sunsguilt

a/n: my first writing! I hope u enjoy :) if not then go die i guess

﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋ ♡Heartslabyul ♡

Riddle Rosehearts - I don't ljke him. If we're talking pre-overblot he'd banish you to that headlock thing with his unique magic if you ever tried to ask him out or flirt with him. Post-overblot hed be really shy in getting into a relationship but wants to be cared for and protected. But he's not standing up for u in front of his mom tho you'll have to deal with her urself

6/10 he’s a sweet boy, just too bossy and not assertive enough to his mom. Divorceablity is quite high with this one.

Cater Diamonds - low-key relatable to me. BUT. His slang gets annoying after a while. His constant posting without peoples permission is weird too. Picture this. He's meeting your family for the first time, and you sit to have dinner. Cater takes a pic of you guys and posts it with the caption "With bae their fam, I'm a bit nervous guys wish me luck!🥺"#girldad #boymom #saveme Your family assumed it's his humor. WRONG. It's his way of coping with his uncomfortability. When it's silent during dinner he says" OH EM GEE GIRLYPOPS!!!, this food is so SLAY💅!! Tysm bestiessss" Your family gives him the nastiest side eye. He never speaks again.

7/10 he seems to be a pretty sweet and understanding person, just needs better ways to express himself . Also he calls your mother queenie.

Trey Clover - he’s an interesting guy. You'll typically see him as an npc, but he's much more than that. Have you seen his *tips fedora * "m'lady" stare?? Yeah there's definitely something strange going on there. He's a pretty family oriented guy tho, and he loves to bake for his s/o and to provide comfort and care.

8/10 he's probably one of the more normal ones that I would actually date. Or be friends with. Just keep one eye open when your sleeping with ur with him tho

Ace Trappola- I don't understand how someone could even like him. He's the kinda kid to push you off the swing during recess and when you tell the teacher he'll go like "NUH UH!! THEY HIT ME FIRST!!" . Plus he's canonically not a good partner lmaoooo

3/10 he’s not even a middle schooler. Too pebble brained. Don't date a gremlin like him. maybe if he finds someone like him he might maintain a steady relationship.

Deuce Spades- no thoughts head empty. He needs a little direction in life but he's got a goal in mind. He's a lil stupid but he's getting there. He's such so sweet and silly you have to love him. But he needs to mature a bit before entering a long term relationship

6/10 not my type, I would go for his mom instead. Plus his dad is literally dr.eggman, that explains everything. but yeah he's got what It takes, be kind to him. He's fragile. Like an egg.

ᓚᘏᗢ Savannaclaw ᓚᘏᗢ

Leona Kingscholar - girl he is 21 years old he should be in the CLUB!!!!! But no. He's sitting alone eating Kentucky fried chicken alone on a Friday night. If he really wanted someone, he could go for it, but he seriously can't be bothered. If you do manage to get him attached to you it'll take him a while to fully love you as much as you love him, as well as put in the same amount of effort .

7/10- I don't think he genuinely needs a partner. He's got his own issues to sort out. But when he falls, he falls hard. I wonder how hard his abs are.

Ruggie Bucchi - Rugbartholomew !!!! The scrunkly. The scrimp. It'll be so fun horsing around with this guy. Being his s/o is like being his partner in crime. It'll be fun, and you guys support each other . He really cares abt his loved ones and always tries to bring something to the table for them, literally and metaphorically. Midnight runs to seven eleven. He's working 10 jobs at a time. He's EMPLOYED. He's a boyemployee. He just needs his girlboss to complete him.

5/10 he's a bit scummy tbh. It'll take him a while to fully trust someone. He’d do some sleazy things for money. It also gives you the ick when he smells donuts and starts floating towards them.

Jack Howl- he's surprisingly normal. He's got a set sleep schedule , he's healthy, he has set routines, and healthy coping mechanisms. But that's the thing. as much as he is such a caring and gentle lover, these routines take up most of his life and time. He would be waking you up at ungodly hours for a morning jog only for you to pass out midway to Mount Kilimanjaro. .

7/10 -he dates for marriage, and he’s really serious about his future and starting a family. So he’s such a loyal and protective guy. He's just too much of a gym bro. He prefers pre-workout over partners. Also he unironically likes alpha/werewolf quotes.

𓆝𓆟𓆜 Octivinelle 𓆝𓆟𓆜

Azul Ashengrotto- I love him so much. He's so me guys you don't get it (capitalism) but that aside, HES SO DAMN WEIRD LMAOOOOOO like he thinks he has rizz but he just looks like a Reddit 'nice guy'. Legitimately says m'lady. He gives off the fake dating trope to me. He'd date you to get something out of you but then actually fall hard bc he's touch starved and longs to feel emotionally vulnerable but is afraid of it. So he's an absolute mess in a relationship and needs a lot of reassurance. But yeah he's pretty bitchless

7/10 he's gorgeous, but he sounds like that one pufferfish singing thing. I relate to him a lot so he gets points. Also since his parents are divorced he definitely has a high divorceability. I have a theory in the works that since we don't know who his biological father is, it might just be Mr. Krabbs. Like it's never said he's a full octopus (to my knowledge). SpongeBob and squidward are Floyd and Jade respectively. SpongeBob X twisted wonderland when?

Floyd Leech- he drank battery acid as a baby. Like dude you're in love with a nuclear fission bomb. If you like Floyd, you're just as fucked up as he is. It's okay tho, he's a very physically affectionate guy and may be overly possessive and obsessive but that's just his charm dw abt it. He also does thing like "if you hug me, expect a little nibbling on your earlobe 😝" and he bites off your entire ear.

2/10 his kisses taste like fish and sheet metal, and he licks short peoples heads when no one's looking.

Jade Leech- if you saw him eat mushrooms well no you didn't because if he eated mushrooms then he would have not eating mushroom bc no . His version of love is psychological warfare . He’s a mysterious guy. Let's set a scenario for him. You're sitting in the monstro lounge. You see a tall, dark and handsome man across the bar with a mysterious aura. You catch his gaze and quickly dart your eyes away. But his never stop staring at you. He comes up to you and you guys chat naturally . He buys you a drink, your favorite actually. He knows all the ways to make you swoon. He’s so dreamy. Then he says that he put cyanide in your drink as joke. Then he lets it slip he's been stalking you for days. You find out his a wanted criminal. And end scene. Yeah that's romance with him.

4/10 he's an attentive and observant guy, but sadly that's way before you guys are dating and he's a psych ward escapee.

𓄼𖣠 Scarabia 𖣠𓄹

Kalim Al-Asim - OTTERRRR!!! I love otters. He’s like deuce. But rich. And more innocent(ignorant). He’s so head over heels for his s/o bro. He’d shower them with his love and gifts. He still has a lot to learn in life, but he's willing to give it all to you. You should be honored.

6/10 he's my son. Treat him well. I can’t forgive him for what he did to Jamil tho.

Jamil Viper- AWWHH YEAH BABY!!! He’s so Fine oml. But personal bias aside, he's very much insane. He’s just a closeted insane.pre-overblot he wouldn't even date u bro he would pretend u don't exist but then hate u being around Kalim. Post-overblot he accidentally avoids you because he has no idea how to express or hide his feelings for you. Okay but definitely has w rizz. Azul seethes at the sight him. Like chewing up his fedora and spitting it out type shit. Men wish they were Jamil.

8/10 he's so wifey, he can cook he can clean I will give him a ring if u don't. Minus points for the attempted murder, but still he's pwetty so I forgive him (*^ω^*) . He probably once got hit in the head with a basketball with you looking.

⊹𖥔˖࣪ Pomefiore⊹𖥔˖࣪

Vil Schoenheit - okay this one's hard cus he's literally just my mother. But more fierce diva cunty. I've been sleeping on his character ngl, but now that I think about it he's pretty relatable. Like everyone wishes to be beautiful, in some sort of way. I think in a relationship he'll need some reassurance about his looks, but also about it his partner only wants him for his looks. I don't think he actually has high standards, he would probably want someone pretty normal, but also takes good care of themselves, not just appearance-wise.

8/10 he's pretty good as an s/o, but the fame aspect will make things very difficult. Also expect him to be brutally honest with you or pick apart your appearance. He's just trying make sure u look ur best bro he's caring like that. Would make an excellent rupauls drag race judge.

Rook Hunt - I have sent a nuke to your exact coordinates. Why would u want him bro he’s Fr*nch AND a felon. There's no good aspects of this relationship he has negative rizz and his fucking bob makes him look like SpongeBob took the gay potion from the dark web at 3 am. also, he's already mentally married you and has your wedding dress prepared as well as a loan taken out for your new family home before you even know his name.

0/10 Mr Electric KILL HIM!!! Probably the kinda guy to post a selfie captioned "who want me" and then before epel can reply "the mental hospital " his post gets taken down due to mass reporting and his account gets suspended and he's put on an fbi watchlist.

Epel Felmier- ngl mood bro. It's so annoying being seen as fragile and weak simply for your inherent femininity.I believe in a relationship he'd want someone that tells him what he wants to hear. He'll have some trouble accepting some facts, especially with his anger issues, but he'll learn to sort that out. He's a sweet boy at heart. He just feels he needs to overcompensate due to his appearance.

6/10 I'm not an anger issues kinda guy. It takes resilience to deal with, something i don't have for that. He probs listens to red pill podcasts while on a tractor. He's a 14 year old boy who just discovered Andrew Tate (he's deathly afraid of women)

꒷꒦꒷Ignihyde꒷꒦꒷

Idia Shroud- no. I have no idea how you could have feelings for him if you've never seen him. And definitely not online bc 1. He would never engage in that 2. Theres nothing romantic about the call of duty lobby. Also another guy with negative rizz. But not like in the creepy way like rook but in a loser way. He genuinely believes he is unfit for a relationship and that he is undeserving of love. If somehow he finds someone like that he'd be attached to them until the day he dies.

8/10 I love me a loser boy. He def has trust issues and paranoia but who doesn't in this game. He's rich so he could spoil u with the battle pass for literally any game. Plus ortho ends up becoming your little brother too. It's a win-win. Also don't ask him if the carpet matches the drapes.

Ortho Shroud- would probs hire u to date his brother out of genuine fear the dude would be alone for the rest of his life.

𓆩 ♡ 𓆪Diasomnia𓆩 ♡ 𓆪

Malleus Draconia - his prehistoric charm and awkward demeanor had captivated you, it seems. But yeah he's the kinda guy to say lines like "For the world could be dying and I would have never noticed it because I would have been not paying attention to the world itself, but would be gazing into your eyes watching them shine like the stars". He's soooo down bad. he's so happy to finally have someone to love him. Very very very loyal. But sometimes toes the line of yandere.

9/10 he's so wonderful. All he wants is to love and be loved. But he still thinks of romance in this Victorian ages and gets hard when he sees your ankles or sumn.

Lilia Vanrouge- this Gent a wee bit peculiar innit? He has connections within the furry community that could destroy your life in seconds. He's everything. He’s everywhere. All at once. He genuinely has dabbled in many different things over the years , so he'll never run out of stories to tell. Many 3 am Minecraft dates. Those upside down Spider-Man kisses. He’s more than ready to settle down with someone have kids of his own. Maybe have a girl. Name her draculaura, you know the rest. He probably went to monster high ngl. But he's a much more mature kinda guy. Definitely knows what he wants in a relationship. He's reasonable too. But you guys don't sleep in the same bed he hangs from the ceiling in a sleeping bag.

9/10 he's a bit vertically challenged and sometimes summons ancient demons by accident. He whispers sweet nothings into your ear in forgotten languages.

Silver - he's the female gaze bro. He's gorgeous . He’s legitimately a normal dude. But I don't think he's even been near a woman before. No rizz. Just soldier and eepy. But he definitely wants an s/o who can care for him a lot considering his narcolepsy. It's something that worries him a lot, and needs a person who's full of love to give, not only to him but to his family. But you're always welcome to nap with him underneath a tree in the warm sun.

7/10 he's a bit narrow-minded, only having a few goals set in mind and a strict regimen as a soldier. You have to work around that and his disorder in order to be his s/o. It's a lot dude. Especially when he leans in for a kiss but falls asleep inside and hits his head on the way down and gets brain damage.

Sebek Zigvolt- this gator wouldn't last a day in the Everglades bruh ‼️🚫I actually despise him. I have a picture of him in my room that I chew on when I get angry. Why is he always yelling. Why is he so obsessed with malleus even outside of his job. Actually, he probably leaves you for malleus. no chance with him bruh. But seriously you need to be super determined to get with him if you manage go past his alarm clock-like exterior. he's lonely.

3/10 I would turn him into a purse.his version of dirty talk is going "do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior wakasama-" and then you make him put his clothes back on and leave.

Fall 2023 Anime Overview: I'm in Love with the Villainess

Premise: Rae is reincarnated as the heroine of her favorite dating sim. But she has no interest in romancing any of the boys- she's head over heels for Claire Francois, the villainess of the game. Claire is horrified to find the major target of her bullying suddenly enjoys it, often pleading "step on me harder". But Rae isn't just here to flirt with Claire- she has a plan to save her beloved from a horrible fate.

I'm allowed to have a problematic gay fave. In fact, I would call it my right as a lesbian. And I enjoy I'm in Love with a Villainess a lot, despite some bumps in the road. It's tropey as all get out and a story that shows signs of having an inexperienced author, but it has real heart to it, it's full of joy, and connects with me in surprising way.

I'll try not to ramble too much, since I'm planning on writing a longer article on this series-- so keep your eyes peeled.

I'm in Love with the Villainess might not always be polished or expertly crafted, but it is very fun and entertaining. Rae ignoring all the male love interests to stan for her mean girl fave is ultra relatable to me, and her gremlin energy is off the charts. Claire is also a super fun character-- if you love ridiculous ojou-sama characters, she is max ojou sama. But she's also hiding a lot of insecurity and of course, a secret soft side-- her character arc over the course of the series is really satisfying.

However, Rae's pushiness might be a sticking point for some. Her worst moments are mostly contained to episode 2 where she does inexcusable things like ogling Claire while she's changing (against Claire's wishes) after having wriggled her way into a position as her maid (against Claire's wishes, though Rae does have secret noble reasons for that one). This is her worst moment and she calms down a bit from there as the story starts to find itself. Her pushiness remains, but gets a bit less uncomfortable as it becomes clear Claire likes her too.

This pushiness clashes a bit with a really interesting thing ILTV does--which is engage bluntly and honestly with homophobia and stereotypes. There's a great moment in episode three where the series. Rae is asked point blank if she's gay, she responds yes. When Claire moves away from her in response, it's pointed out to her that's a form of homophobia, and it's pointed out how screwed up it is to believe anyone who's gay is automatically going to creep on every girl they see. Rae also gently corrects someone who gives her the common "she just happened to be a woman, you're just falling in love with the person right? Your love just transcends gender?" line, (which is a common line that's used to avoid talking about queerness directly in manga and anime) with "no, I'm a lesbian, I only fall in love with women."

And yes, homophobes got big mad at this scene. How dare a yuri anime be gay! I'm in Love with the Villainess does not let homophobic yuri fans feel safe.

It's really refreshing to see a silly isekai series directly engage with stereotypes and lesbian issues like this, and it was a very pleasant surprise when I read the novels.

However, this message is a little muddled by the fact Rae did harass Claire, so Claire has every right to feel uncomfortable around her. The show does acknowledge this. The story makes it clear it knows Claire has a right to distrust Rae and it's her responding badly specifically to Rae saying she's gay is the problem. But it's still very weird to simultaneously have a "gay people aren't automatically predators!!!" coupled with "well also our gay main character does commit a little sexual harassment sometimes".

(Some of this weirdness could have been rectified if the story had character besides Claire act badly to Rae saying she was gay, and have them get the lecture, since the point was supposed to be that gay people don't hit on every member of the same gender they meet...but again, that point falls flat if the lecture recipient is Claire, since Rae has already been hitting on her).

I don't really begrudge the author this- Inori was obviously just engaging in the unfortunately typical anime tropes, but also decided to also use her story to passionately educate about and defend gay people and couldn't quite reconcile the dissonance. However, it is very "have your cake and eat it too".

But ILTV does do a very interesting thing with the common anime trope of the overly demonstrative lesbian character who does wacky hijinks and declares her love in a "funny" way. Rae reveals she's so used to being treated badly and rejected by friends and crushes for being gay that she treats her feelings as big joke as a defense mechanism. Because she’s so used to being rejected for her sexuality, she’s given up on earnestly pursuing Claire from the beginning. She doesn’t think she has a shot and she doesn’t want to risk being rejected. However, if she’s loud and obnoxious about her love for Claire, the inevitable rejection doesn’t hurt so much.

She makes it so Claire’s rejecting her for being a weirdo, not because she’s gay. If it's a joke, then when everyone laughs at it and dismisses it, it doesn’t hurt…and she can still be honest about and open about being gay. She can fool even herself and stay around Claire without any of that heartbreak and awkwardness that destroyed relationships the other times she confessed her love.

Rae's arc throughout the show is overcoming her assumption that Claire would be happier with a man and there's no point in earnestly courting her. She's so used to being degraded, she thinks it's impossible she could give Claire a good life and impossible that her real feelings will be accepted.

It doesn't excuse Rae's actions, but it does make her a very interesting character, and one that's meaningful to me as a lesbian. It adds surprising depth to a usually tired trope.

There's also some other interesting aspects of the anime, like how Rae simps for Claire but doesn't simp for her classism. She often gently challenges her on it, and the "commoner uprising" plot, while pretty weirdly paced and (temporarily) resolved, does treat the commoners sympathetically. Considering how other kinds of isekai regularly excuse shit like buying slaves, it's nice to see one that very much sympathizes with marginalized.

Though the commoner uprising plot does lead us to the other huge caveat with the anime- incest. Yeesh. There's a plot twist where it's revealed that side characters are in an incestuous relationship, and they're treated as tragic and sympathetic, they have a love that cannot be accepted, etc. The anime makes this worse by having Rae say "homosexuality isn't the only kind of forbidden love", which (unintentionally?) equates queerness and incest, which is something homophobes often do too. (The novels aren't innocent either, Rae laments "Why can't people be free to love who they want" at one point in a way that less explicitly equates the two things). However I was able to stand this because it's mainly executed as a plot twist. We don't get any details about the character's relationships, we barely see them even stand next to each other, and they're out of the plot fairly quickly. I can absolutely see this being a deal breaker for someone less numb to anime bullshit through.

And finally, a character comes in who acts fairly manipulative and skeezy towards Rae herself, though the drama she does stoke is great stuff.

So yes, I mean it when I say it has problems! But I find the fun shenanigans, blatant lesbian wish fulfillment, honest advocation for queer people, and the joy and earnestness of the series worth it enough I can grit my teeth through it all. It should also be noted that Inori, the author, is a trans lesbian, and that's another big reason why this is so special to many people-- it's a lot easier to forgive a new author for some uneven writing when she has a stake in telling queer stories.

The anime is obviously one that doesn't have a lot of resources (and I missed some of Rae's interior monologue, which gets more into what a nerd girl she is) but it does a decent job with what it had (though I would have liked it to condense or cut some of the magic duels and Rae doing harassment to focus more on the stories strengths, but alas). I have my fingers crossed for a second season, but the yuri don't tend to get those, so I'm not holding my breath.

Is ILTV's pacing sometimes weird? Yes, the commoner uprising doesn't get as much attention as it should. Is it sometimes clumsy? Oh yes. Do I still get a joy like no other when Rae kicks aside the screen prompting her to choose a male interest to yell for Claire instead, or when she fantasizes about herself and Claire being warriors together? Hell yes.

ILTV is often silly, often flawed, but you know what, queer people get to have our silly, flawed, but still occasionally touching stories as well. Straight people have has a monopoly on it too long. It's not a series for everyone, but it's a series that spoke to some struggling queer people regardless, and it's a series that makes me smile, and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Oh My Dear Vandme, I'm so sorry that you're getting mean/Rude comments recently, Minor can totally write for WHATEVER and HOWEVER they want! Gatekeeping isn't allowed in any spaces of fandoms especially the creative side of it- and nobody gets to dictate what you do with YOUR own account and what you reblog. If it wasn't for Minors writing for fandom spaces, fanfics nor fandoms would never exist- as some of the most popular fanfics of all time that I know of, were written by minors at the time.

In regards for request times, Take however long you need! you are putting your time and effort into a creative process, and as with anything, things take time- especially when it's a craft such as writing. Whoever has issues with that can Back right up out of your inbox. If they're so impatient to harass you about taking to long via asks, They can make their own writing for it then.

And for NSFW Asks, I'm so, so so sorry that you keep getting them. To the People Asking these prompts, The person running this blog have stated time and time again- that they DO NOT DO NSFW REQUESTS PLEASE, DO NOT ASK THEM FOR THIS. If ya'll could, Go ask another blog that actually covers nsfw subject matters if you are that thirsty for content- Such as Spiderlilywritings or Puzzledprose for example.

Your writing is absolutely out of this world for Killer Chat, you are legit one of my favorite writers out in the fandom- and I only just recently got hooked onto the fandom as a whole because of how great your writing is. I wish that I could put into words how much I adore your every last bit of your works- You understand Ronin's character so well, it's phenomenal to see when nailed right- and you hit the mark time and time again. Always- your fics really brighten up my day whenever I see them. Thank you for doing your absolute best when writing.

I Hope this Brightens you up at least a little bit, and if doesn't then I hope your week gets better.

With all my love, 🔍-Anon

OMG STOPPPP 😭😭 You’re actually gonna make me CRY—like, ugly sobbing, full-on breakdown, the whole thing. I don’t even know where to START because this?? This is the nicest thing EVER and I’m literally gonna frame it and hang it on my wall, I swear.

First of all, THANK YOU for understanding and sticking up for me—fr, people can be so weird about what others write like?? It’s not that deep, it’s just fanfic, and if they don’t like it, they can scroll and mind their business 💅. You’re so real for pointing out that minors built fandom culture, because like… where would ANY of this even be without us?? No one’s gonna stop me from writing what I want, when I want—best believe I’m here to stay 😌. And you’re SO right about the requests—like, do people think words magically appear or something?? This brain needs time to marinate, babes 💭✨. If they’re that impatient, they can write their own and see how easy it is (spoiler: it’s NOT 💀).

AND OMG, THE NSFW ASKS?? PLEASEEE, it’s like people lose basic reading comprehension when it comes to that 😭😭. I’ve said it a million times—I don’t do that—and yet, here we are. I’m just tryna write my murder boy shenanigans in peace, why is that so hard for people to get?? Like you said, there are PLENTY of other blogs that do that stuff.

Also, CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW SWEET YOU ARE?? You saying my writing is what got you into the fandom?? HELLO?? I’m gonna be thinking about that forever, no joke. The fact that you love how I write Ronin makes me so happy bc he’s my feral little murder gremlin and I put SO much effort into making him unhinged but still human and complicated—so hearing that means EVERYTHING to me 💖. Like, I cannot explain how much your words mean—you’ve officially locked in a forever spot in my heart, congrats 😭💞.

For real, thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to send this—it made my entire week, no question. I promise I’ll keep writing and being my chaotic little self no matter what people say. You’re a literal angel, and I’m sending you all the love and virtual hugs in the world. Hope your week is absolutely AMAZING because you deserve it and more!! 💫🖤

With all my love (and maybe some happy tears), Me 😌💖

Tell me, how did you feel about the messed up season 5 finale?

I think I see now why my Tumblr inbox total has been off by one for a while now. But! Better late than never.

So, if I'm honest, it's laughable. Adrien being denied the chance to face Hawkmoth hurt, but whatever. Bugnoire was ok, but eh. I was glad to see Gabriel trick Marinette so he could get the miraculous and make his wish. Which, fuck.

So, I've long since chosen violence when I woke up today, but I'm just gonna say it. Gabriel won. He wasn't redeemed through any normal means but got his wish. He wanted to be seen as a good guy and so he was. There was no redemption but a man's wish that completely rewrote the future of their reality. Hell, I'd barely call it a redemption anyway. He won, plain and simple. And, honestly, I'm glad he did.

I make no secret that I hate the writing in the show. I know it's supposed to be geared towards kids, but even I've seen kids shows that do such a better job than that shit show. Fuck, I would much rather watch Arthur and Bluey, true kids shows, over miraculous any day. I'd honestly put Miraculous damn near on par with the fucking nonsensical kids shows I have to watch while watching over a three year old that make me want to blow out my brains. All this rambling to say how piss poor Miraculous is as a kids show, has terrible messaging, and I'm glad Gabriel won.

Kids show or not, every part of this show is insulting. Fuck I've seen 6 year olds enjoy this show so much more than the intended audience. Which, the two gremlins (12 and 14) I know in that audience would be cheering with me that Gabriel won because they both hate Marinette.

Additionally (before I ramble again) if you want to add this example to the show glorifying abuse, have at it. Personally, I don't see it quite that way. The villain won. He got his wish, whatever that may have fully been. However, we know he had it with Adrien in mind. So, here we are in this perfect world for his darling boy who'll always remember him as a hero. Done deal. Wish accomplished.

All this rambling aside is to say, the villain won and everyone was screwed by idiot writers that can't even write a fucking 'kids show'

sonic movie 3 spoilers bc I got to flush this all outta my system. incoherent ramblings below :

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD PLEASE I AM NOT OKAY ABT THIS MOVIE HOLY SHIT

firstly, keanu's shadow was beautiful. no further criticism from me. he was everything I could have asked for in a film adaptation of shadow

I'm so glad they handled the G.U.N situation better than I assumed. I genuinely thought they weren't going to be rightly villainised, but they were. only thing I'm unhappy with is the handling of maria's death, since it seemed semi-accidental. like,, they were fully liable stfu

MARIA ???? OMG MARIA ??? she was well cast, I loved how she was a little skating gremlin, who showed shadow all these things (things I predicted somehow AGAIN ? while writing the sli au). shame we didn't get more of her, but we all know what happens, so I guess it's only reasonable. only gripe is I wished they bothered to address her illness bc there was none of that

SHADOW ???? there was a scene with maria that struck me deep. his origin story change is funky, but definitely not unwelcome. and the way he notices the researchers look at him weird and he feels like a freak who doesn't belong ? ofc that's concordant with canon, but fuck me man. that's always been something I've connected with in shadow's character, so to see it crop up actually made me emotional

I nearly CRIED watching this film guys. I can't even be mad that amy wasn't there to rouse shadow onto humanity's side, bc the way they handled shadow's inner turmoil and his epiphany of light- UGH PLEASE I CAN'T BE OKAY EVER AGAIN. it was stunning. to see him struggle with his convictions all throughout and pose those deep questions to the other characters like gerald, asking if revenge was really what maria wanted. or stone. or with sonic, when he was driven by anger and grief. I LOVE that shadow noticed their similarities and asked those questions why, not because he was goading sonic, because he genuinely wanted answers, most likely to understand what he himself was feeling. I adored their chat on the moon, dealing with a sensitive topic, man to man. that was so sweet and they both convinced EACH OTHER to do the right thing. that was beautiful. I teared up. also super shadow was just so pretty I tried not to squeal. beautiful boy. he was just so genuine the whole time and nothing, not once, charged him as 'bad'. he was hurt and misguided but he knew he was doing wrong when he stepped back. he really came to his own realisation and I couldn't be prouder

gerald man ??? it's still not clear to me how he lived past his expectancy, but whatever. I'm actually okay they went fully down the dark route with him, using manipulation tactics aplenty and just being generally insane. for that, I can understand and accept eggman's family issues done in this way in this continuity

also STONE ???? I LOVED HIM I AM SO SAD WE DIDN'T GET MORE OF HIM. he tripled down on the homoerotic sycophantic pining. it was brilliant. the stobotnik moments were a joy. every single one

there were a few jokes that made me grizzle and groan, but other than that, it was still a light and funny movie despite dealing with more sincere topics of loss, family and potentials

tails was so adorable I loved him and everything he did. knuckles too. my favourite moment was trying to talk down sonic and almost hitting him from rage but letting go to concede to sonic's poor decision to walk the wrong path

shadow's death was glossed and inconsequential but that makes sense. it was gorgeous seeing him draw maria parallels throughout everything

my favourite little giggle from him was when he was watching that telenovela or sumn and he said the woman should get rid of both men bc she doesn't deserve to be treated like a prize. MY BOY <3

AUGH CAN I TALK ABT AMY OH MY GOSH ???? finally. it only took 3 films. she looks gorgeous. love her assassin hood thing, her badassery- Perfect. I can't wait for her to take the limelight next. metal also looks banging too, I noticed the split second frame that looked like the forces trailer

speaking of amy, the audience in the theater (including me), clapped SO LOUD when the amy scene was over. sighh my people <33 I will miss them. especially the one that said shadow 05 movie shld happen after seeing the second post-credits scene. they're after my heart lmao

OHH the references. so many to mention. even if some were obnoxiously obvious, they all were awesome. the musical ones, the cinematic frames, the direct quotations, objects and whatnot. all of them were bloody fantastic

THERE'S SM ABT THIS MOVIE MY BRAIN CAN'T EVEN. I'm still trying to digest all that I saw tbh, so I've probably missed things I wanted to blab abt but oh well

it surpassed my expectations. we've been fed so good this year. amazingly done film, would 100% go and see it again if I get the chance

#bee blabs #sonic 3 spoilers #sonic movie 3 spoilers #my sister and I also wore outfits corresponding to sonic (her) and shadow (me)#and we brought our plushies along too #we had NO SHAME today #it was all worth it I loved every second #and my makeup looks sick so that's another win

What's this? More clueless reacting?

Continuation of this as @yumeka-sxf outdid themselves and sent me more out-of-context spoiler-free manga screenshots.

Reminder to not spoil me about those. Let me have my fun.

This four five "six"-year-old is going through. A Lot. I kinda love how that ranges from difficult math problems to protecting her loved ones from bombs, which should be terrifying but I am not immune to Endo's writing and humor. All Forgers deserve their peace and what Anya deserves in particular is to get more rascal gremlin time than stressed gremlin time.

That's more like it! Badass Anya!

Since That scene of "there's a trace of true emotion in his smile" I am growing weak on the knees every time Loid smiles because. How do I know for sure it's all fake? What is there to dispute my view that his expressions are starting to betray his true emotions?

*grasps chest* *gently touches screen* *screams*

SOMFT 😭😭 Is he looking at Anya here I am going to SCREAM if he's looking at Anya here. Or even just thinking about them I'd take anything. MY SOUL FOR SOMFT LOID 😭😭😭😭😭

I've been so used to such expressions that I immediately assume something funny is happening here. I cannot for the life of me make out the environment around him, or if he could be shocked by looking at something/someone or is just leaning back and having a CrisisTM and staring at the void. Could be just Anya being 0.1 seconds away from accidentally revealing she knows he's a spy, though. Or maybe Yor made another exhibit of her super strength and he's left with the most confusing boner of his life.

Speaking of Yor...

Oh boy I sure hope that doesn't awaken anything in me :) Is she killing someone or trying to cook? I love not knowing.

1. More adorable Yor that deserves the best and 2. WHO HURT HER. SHE LOOKS SAD. WHOM DO I HAVE TO BEAT UP. IS IT LOID IMMA BEAT HIS SHIT UP I DON'T CARE. Or maybe she's just shy about something. I love not knowing!

Again that's probably like, something funny happening here. Those two don't have normal reactions to normally frightening stuff. That's why they're made for each other :D

Like sister, like brother am I right. What is he so shocked about. Did Loi-Loi kiss Yor's hand I wish lol and that shan't happen? I love how when ShockTM happens, Endo takes the "square mouth" route.

A fancy man! I genuinely love not knowing what's happening you have no idea.

This could be Becky's reaction to thinking about or seeing Loid but it's gonna make my heart grow three times its size if it's Anya she's so loving with ;_;

LMAO those were sent in random order but putting them together makes it look like it's progress from one to the other. What is Bond all shoujo-filtered about. Is it a good steak? Anya being adorable? And then he's sweating about stuff again. I love (painful) how being a part of the Forger family means dealing with unimaginable stress. Is he thinking about Yor's poisonous cooking? That might make his blushed reaction the opposite then... thinking about Loid's cooking XD

I smell character development. He's sweating in both cases so in the first one he's not just being a little shit. It means Stuff is happening. Do you see what a few drops of manga sweat can do.

For some reason it's in this one that I see his O_O expression and I'm like "oh serious stuff is happening is his father being horrible to him again" instead of thinking that it could be a funny moment. I love not knowing and I love not knowing when those stuff will happen, I genuinely mean it.

get to know me !!

so i should probably make a get to know me post, right?

about me

hi everyone, i'm seraphine!

i've been saying i'm 23 for years but i think i'm actually legitimately 23 now lol.

i'm a gal but you can refer to me with any pronouns (i'm just happy to be referred to tbh).

brief lifestory

i just quit a very safe and parents-approved major (economics/business) to study english literature and devote myself to the art of writing.

of course, only after years of rejecting my true calling.

i guess you could say i followed the hero's journey formula a bit too literally.

(in my defense: i'm a gremlin with audhd.

i thought my neverending disatisfaction with economics was simply because the law of supply and demand makes no sense. i mean?? the prices don't magically change themselves?! someone changes them bc they think they can charge more when people are desperate and that is inherently cruel and unjust and- ehem. anyway.)

interests/likes

writing really really sad stories. it's cathartic, i swear—you should try it sometime.

podcasts about myths and legends (wink wink), especially greek myths.

anime, manga, vocaloid, cartoons etc. is it normal for a "phase" to last 10+ years if you're not, like, an immortal or smth?

musicals!! you know, my neighbors are so lucky. every day they get to listen to very passionate re-enactments of epic the musical for free!! i wish that were me. (speaking of free! ... is that fandom still alive?)

tragedies, tragedies, tragedies. give me your hanahaki disease, give me achiless and patroclus, give me scaramouche getting betrayed over and over again by people, give me viktor- ok, you get the point.

random faves (aka talk to me about these rn)

scaramouche (genshin impact). i don't even play genshin but man... i get you, you pretty little gremlin, i get you. my mom never loved me either.

titus alexius (magi). yes, you are sensing a pattern here. pretty boys who alternate between god complex and all-consuming self-hatred are indeed my type.

arcane. i was going to say "especially..." but honestly? the whole cast.

greek myths. currently reading the illiad and hollering at achiless crying to his mommy because someone was mean to him lmao. also, the song of achiless by madeline miller? stunning.

the apothecary diaries. where is my weekly dose of medieval chinese court intrigue?

let's be friends!

please. i miss the kind of community i had back in my quotev days.

let's share our writing. geek out over our favorite characters. ramble about our special interests. vent about childhood trauma. save the high school sports club together. you know, the good stuff.

seriously: dm me. tell me what's been living rent-free in your brain. your new fave. relationship troubles. some historical event from 324 years ago. a niche hyperfixation no one else seems to care about.

let's be friends!!

#get to know me #let's be friends #writing community #writers on tumblr

Thanks for the tag, @the-au-collector!

Four - Four is the whole package (well, everything except height). He has an awesome design, a wicked character gimmick, fun canon game, lots of LU representation... And to think he actually used to be my least favorite. Looking through the reblogs I'm seeing him FAR TOO LOW. I will convert you all into Four girlies, I swear.

Warriors - I love this man. I love this man so gawd dayum much. Maybe I'm more attached to my characterization of him (overdramatic, hopeless romantic loverboy) but is that reaaaaalllly that far a stretch from canon? +10 points for scarf.

Sky - SkSw is my fave LoZ game of all time, so I mean I'm kinda contractually obligated to like Sky? But he's also just cool. First off, great sense of humor (🐰🙌🏻). But then he's also a covert badass?! He's the ONE Link in the Chain that's got the fuggin' Master Sword. He MADE that thing. And he gets the +10 scarf bonus that Wars gets because it's only fair.

Twilight - I'm a sucker for a farm boy, what can I say... I wish I had played TP when it came out like everyone else my age so I could connect with his character that much more (nostalgia glasses: ACTIVATE) but alas. Still, he is my go-to heavy whump/angst recipient, so he deserves credit for that.

Wild - I have the most hours in Wild's games (if you count BOTW+TOTK). He's another where I'm more attached to my characterization of him (I always call him "frat boy with a heart of gold"). In a shocking example of irony, I always forget about his canon amnesia, so maybe if I remembered that more I could have more fun exploiting it. LOVE the hair tho.

Time - He's aight. Badass, and we love a father figure. I struggle to write him, though. Maybe I'll connect better with him once I finish OoT/MM (controller broke, and I am broke too, big sad).

Legend - Ennhhhhhh I struggle with prickly-on-the-outside characters. He's the kind of guy I wanna punch and then be friends with. Not saying he's not justified in his attitude, boy's been through a lot.

Hyrule - Again, I really don't know that much about Loz I/II, and he's a pretty lore-heavy character with magic and all, so I just don't know what to think. But writing him as this absolutely mannerless feral forest gremlin is very, very fun.

Wind - I-I just... I... *sigh* I've never played Wind Waker, I know next to nothing about it (other than the soundtrack, which is a certified bop I will give it that), Windy boi hasn't gotten much of a chance to show himself off yet

Tags for: @somer-writes @pepperpuppy417 @nyastri @toyouhellohowareyou

Gonna try and start a tag game, so let's go!

We've all got our favorite Links, but I wanna know how ALL the LU Links rank for you.

I'll start! And just to note, I've only played Sky, Wild, and Twilight's games so far.

1. Sky- My favorite Link, though his game is my second favorite

2. Wild- Second favorite Link, but his games are my favorite

3. Warriors- Haven't played his games, but @crazylittlejester has made him one of my top three

4. Time- Gives big Dad vibes, he's just trying to keep his children out of trouble

5. Twilight- Absolutely the big brother

6. Legend- Not as bitter as I often see him portrayed. He's just a (older) kid whose been through a lot

7. Hyrule- Played his games a LONG time ago, never made it past the first dungeon. I don't really have much to say about him though

8. Wind- Cute kid, I like him but don't have much to day about him either

9. Four- I unfortunately don't know anything about him beyond LU, sorry Four!

Tagging:

@skyloftian-nutcase @crazylittlejester @skyward-floored @sprite-and-the-bunnydragons and anyone else is welcome to join as well!

rollo x reader who's scared of magic headcanons (gn!reader)

so. here i am, writing this HJSJDJDSJ. but i actually wanted to write something with rollo for a long time and i thought that i can wait until this event ends.. but i'm too impatient, haha. also yeah, if you haven't read the event story yet, these headcanons are full of spoilers!

okay, so i probably should explain this concept. you see, i know that this fandom usually depicts mc as someone who is 100% against rollo's actions and wants to protect their friends AND THAT'S COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE, but one day i sat there and was like.. "but what if mc wasn't like that". what if mc was so tired of everything and they were so traumatized because of everything that happened that they became scared of magic? what if they even hate it now? you can imagine the reader being someone who loved magic and was interested in it, but eventually became terrified of it because of their trauma or you can imagine them being someone who found this world too scary from the start. also, they don't like nrc students that much (but they don't want to admit it) and pretty much get a corruption arc, so if you don't want to read something like that.. you should probably skip this one.

if you want to read something similar (but more.. uh, comforting), but with other characters, feel free to check out my riddle, leona, azul and jamil x reader who's traumatized from overblots headcanons!

warnings: a mention of a panic/anxiety attack, a possibly unhealthy relationship dynamic, mc's behavior is also very similar to ptsd.

♡ you know that so many people would go "i wish it were me" if you told them about everything that happened with you in this world called twisted wonderland. come on, you have a cute cat sidekick (who acts more like a gremlin), you get to see so many pretty boys every day and this world also has magic! why wouldn't you want to stay here? sure, you miss your family and friends, but also you have to agree that this world is more fun than the one you came from. you agree, right, y/n?.. you wish you could say that you do, but you're not so sure anymore. living in twisted wonderland sounds fun, it really does, but you never felt so stressed and anxious in your entire life. you wanted to help these boys, you wanted to understand them, but you didn't want to become their therapist. you have your own problems, you just want to go back home already, you miss your loved ones! and as you kept trying to help everyone and you saw just how dangerous their magic can be.. you started to get more and more scared of it.

♡ you don't want to go to nbc at all at first. you don't find it as exciting as others do and you agree only because crowley told you that you might find out how to go back to your world there. and you knew well that crowley is most likely lying to you again, but.. what's the point in refusing to go? if you agree to visit the city of flowers, you won't find any hints there, but if you stay here, you also won't find any hints. you're tired of your dorm and this school in general, so maybe going to a new place will make you feel better. also you just want to get a break from seeing crowley's face every day and you sure hope that you won't find another student to take care of there.

♡ when you meet rollo for the first time, he feels like someone who's completely different from nrc students. sure, you can definitely feel that there's something.. off about him at first, but he seems like such a polite and caring person that you stop thinking about it at some point. but rollo officially gains your trust when he says that it must be tiring for you to be surrounded by magic users all the time. you don't think anyone from nrc has ever said such a thing to you, you know that they care about you, but most of the time it felt like you were just being used and people rarely asked you about your own feelings. honestly, you feel like you're about to cry when you hear those words from him but you try to stay calm. it's probably not a good idea to tell him about everything that you had to go through, you literally just met him! and why did he just say that he wants you to forget about your problems while you're here? this.. this doesn't feel right. why is he so nice to you?

♡ you notice that even though rollo is mostly nice to everyone here, he definitely treats you better than other students. you don't know the reason, but you're not sure that you even want to know it. yes, you've been manipulated quite a lot of times in the past, but.. you don't really have any energy to try and "see right through him". even if he just wants to use you, for some reason you just can't bring yourself to care. it's probably because you find people being genuinely nice to you more surprising than people manipulating you. so for now.. you want to believe that he really is just that kind. you have some very nice and interesting conversations with him and you find yourself enjoying spending time with him like this. you don't even want to go back to nrc students, haha.. it was a joke, but for some reason your anxiety comes back when you see their faces again. hm? what did rollo say just now? it sounded a bit like "those magic users.." but why did he say it in such an angry tone?

♡ you really want to have fun at the festival, but you just.. can't. you feel too tired, everyone is so loud and noisy and you can't focus on anything. you want to dance with everyone as well, but for some reason, when you see them having fun together.. you remember all the overblots, you remember all the times you had to do crowley's job, you remember all the tragic backstories that you had to listen to. but before you can stop thinking about all that and join them even though you can't even stand properly.. the fireworks start. you know that malleus just wants to make the townspeople happy and you agree that they deserve to have the best festival ever, but also, everything is even more loud now because everyone decides to join malleus. they even manage to turn this into a competition. haha, nrc students never change, do they? you wish you could laugh about it, but for some reason you can't even smile right now. what is wrong with you? why are you feeling like this? shouldn't you find these fireworks as beautiful as everyone does? these boys are trying so hard, you should compliment them for their efforts! grim and malleus especially want to hear compliments from you, considering that they're the ones who started it, but you can't say anything nice to them right now.

♡ for some reason, it gets harder for you to breathe and your head starts spinning. it's probably because the noise is too overwhelming for you, you could try and go somewhere more quiet but you can't just leave them here! but why.. why is everything so scary right now? you're so mad at yourself for not feeling as happy as everyone else, but after everything that you had seen, it's impossible for you to see magic as something good. you can't focus on anything else right now and your mind is screaming at you, begging you to run away and hide somewhere, but you still sit there and watch everyone. but you didn't know that somebody else has been watching you all this time too.

♡ you find it strange that the only thing that you can hear clearly right now is rollo telling malleus that if he and other students are so powerful, then they should use their magic more carefully. you feel so shocked, you didn't expect someone like him to say such a thing. it would be normal for someone like trein to say it, he's your professor, of course he would be worried and he would tell everyone to be more careful with their magic. and you already had a feeling that rollo is a very responsible person so you weren't surprised when you noticed that he doesn't really like the fireworks, but for him to say something like this.. you can't help but agree with him.

♡ after he's done talking to malleus, he wants to make sure that you're okay and when he looks at you, it becomes obvious to him that you're not okay at all. he sincerely apologizes to you for letting something like this happen and says that he should have noticed that you're not doing so well. rollo helps you find a little more calm and quiet place even though that's pretty hard to do right now because of the festival, but to be honest, you feel more safe already because of him. while you're trying to calm down and you're starting to breathe normally, rollo suddenly asks you, don't you think that magic is too dangerous and people can't just use it as carelessly as those students did? you can easily hurt someone with it and not all magic users can control it, some of them don't even try, they don't care what happens to other people. maybe this world would be better without magic users.. no, it would totally be better without them.

♡ he wants to hear your answer and you don't know what to say. no, actually, you do know what you want to say, but you're not strong enough to do it. saying those words would feel like betraying everyone else, yes, you're terrified of magic, but you don't want all of your friends to disappear! "friends".. you don't know if you actually would call them friends if those magicians weren't your only company in this world. you try to say that magic is not that bad, but something stops you. you try to say those words, but you realize that you can't because that would be a lie. you have thought many, MANY times that everything would be so much better if magic didn't exist. it's not only because of overblots and other terrible things, it's also because you wouldn't come to this world if it wasn't for magic. this is why you still can't go back home.

♡ you still can't find the courage to say that you think rollo is right, so you end up crying and you keep saying how scared you are and how tired you are. you blame yourself for crying in front of him, because you don't want to make him worry about you, but also, finally letting your feelings out like this feels nice. you needed to cry, you needed to admit that you find this whole situation terrifying and that you want all of this to end. you don't notice rollo looking confused for a second, it's almost like he's not sure what he's supposed to do, but when you look up at him, he's already holding you in his arms. and you realize that you needed someone to hug you like this for a long time.

♡ when rollo tells you about his plan, at first you think that it's a bit too much. you agree that this world would be much better without magic, but taking their powers like this.. you ask rollo if they're really gonna be okay after that, especially the fae students. rollo simply says that you're too kind for villains like them and that you don't have to care about them this much, they don't deserve your sympathy. after everything you've done for them, they are the ones who should feel sorry and beg you to spare them. you still don't want to hurt them too badly, but also.. maybe you and rollo really should teach them a lesson. it's fine, they are gonna be fine, you're doing this to save them, it's not your revenge or anything like that.. at least that's what you want to think and rollo assures you that you two really are going to save them and that your intentions are pure. it feels weird to hear just how much rollo wants to change this world and that you two are the only ones who can truly understand each other even though he's still a magic user himself and you are a magicless human. him meeting a human, who hates magic as much as he does and you meeting a magic user, who is willing to make this scary and cruel world a better place for you.. haha, you two are basically soulmates.

#twisted wonderland #disney twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland imagines #twst imagines #twst headcanons #twst x reader #rollo flamm #rollo flamm x reader #rollo flamme #rollo flamme x reader #yeah i'm using both tags for him because i've seen both of them being used #i thought i'll just go with one of them but no!! this guy has so many names!!#so yeah i'll decide which one to use if one of them becomes more popular or when we get the official eng version of it

𝘞𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯

Word count: 2.8k

warnings: praise kink, pet names (baby, channie, sir, good girl) unprotected sex (be smart.), swearing, choking kink(chan), jealous chan, one sided enemies to lovers.

A/N: this took me so long to write omfg. let's all give a round of applause for me 💅

You didn't want to be at this party. And he could tell. From the way you sat nervously in the corner to the way you looked mortified when anyone you didn't know tried to start up small talk with you.

He knew he shouldn't be watching you. He just, wanted to make sure you were okay. It's not as though you would appreciate his efforts, though.

You hated him. You hated how one of his dimples was deeper then the other, how good his blond hair looked with his dark eyebrows, his Australian accent that made people swoon. All of it, It was all an act.

Some people wonder whether or not the devil is real. You think he is, and he was put on this earth in a mortal form. Taking over none other then Christopher fucking Bang. God, even his name is attractive.

It pissed you off immensely that girls were trying to flirt with him. And it pissed you off even more that he couldn't care less, as his eyes were glued to you.

You squinted while looking around the room for your roommate, Felix. You loved being his roomate. He would bake for you, invite you to spend holidays with his family, let you vent to him. All under one condition.

Once a week you would have to force yourself out into the world and go to a party hosted by one of his friends. Usually Jisung, who you have grown quite accustomed to. He called it your "Weekly dose of socialization."

He cared about you. It was sweet, really. But, you weren't a big fan of it. Yes his friends are nice but so is laying in bed and watching TV.

At least that's what you thought at first. That was before you met him. Christopher Bang, most people call him Chan, a few Chris. But everyone all has one thing in common. They adore him. Well, everyone except you. You knew behind that stupidly adorable laugh and that dumb smile he got on his face when he saw someone he knew, you knew that he was a liar.

And thats because you fell for his lies.

Around a year ago when you first moved in with Lix, his friends would come over often. At first you didn't interact with them except for a casual bow everytime, but one of them stood out to you. He would come into your room and start talking to you whenever he came over, inviting you to come join the group.

You shouldn't have fallen for it. No one as high on the social ladder as him would fall for someone as antisocial as you. It just doesn't work, you should've seen that. You can't blame him, if you think about it.

The girl you caught him with when you were on your way to surprise him was beautiful, You just wish he hadn't led you on. It would've hurt less if he had told you he wasn't interested instead of you catching him with his tongue down someone else's throat.

You never spoke to him again. Actually that's not true, you have, telling him to go fuck himself or eat a bag of dicks whenever you saw him. Mature, I know. Other then that you haven't explained what you saw or even let him try to save himself. Because it wasn't worth it.

You had more important things in life to deal with. Like the importance of watching TV with your cats, while eating Felix's brownies! Nothing can go wrong in the comfort of your bed. It's a safe haven.

You looked at Chan, making eye contact before grimacing and looking away. "Gross. Men." You whispered to no one in particular. Jisung basically bolted your direction when he saw you. "My favorite gremlin! How are you?" He said with his over enthusiastic voice. "I'm would be better if you stopped talking to me, British boy." You responded, smiling at him.

"You're so kind to me." He fake sniffles, laying down on the bench you were sat on, putting his head on your lap.

"You look bored." He states, looking up at you. "Wow, Really? Wouldn't have ever known if you hadn't told me." You started brushing through his hair with your fingers untangling it, completely unaware of Chan's huff of annoyance as he saw your actions.

"This is why you're my favorite! Anyway back to ME, I'm great thanks for asking, I might be a little itty bit drunk but I might not be. Who knows!" He closes his eyes, giggling slightly whenever you would pull at his hair.

"I didn't ask about you, nerd." You groaned in faux annoyance, trying not to smile as he looked up at you, offended.

"I'm hurt, Y/N. That was so rude, you're so annoying." He swat your hand away from his hair and sat up, turning the other direction.

"I know you think I'm annoying, but in reality I'm just hot and irresistible." You flip your hair and roll your as eyes as Han chuckles.

"You're such a idiot." He smiles, laying his head on your shoulder this time, to glare at everyone from the corner.

You smile as you see your friend, Yunjin walking towards you, dragging someone along with her. "This is Chaewon, my unofficial wife!" She stated enthusiastically, smiling at the two you. Jisung looks up, suddenly interested.

"Wait... WEREN'T YOU IN I*ZONE-" Jisung starts, you immediately cover his mouth to stop him from embarrassing you. "He meant it's nice to meet you." I smiled and bowed kindly. Grimacing when the demon you called your friend licked your hand, forcing you to remove it from his mouth.

"Yeah! I meant hi!" He smiles, giggling when you wipe your hand on his shirt, maybe you went over his abs on purpose, maybe you didn't.

Chan managed to excuse himself from the one sided conversation the lady in front of him was having, he stopped paying attention to what she was saying when he saw you.

He walked over, looking at you and smiling slightly before looking to Jisung, "Hey! How've you been man?" He plops down next to him, nodding at Chaewon and Yunjin. "I'm alright. Tired, but alright." Jisung smiled back at him, laying his head back on your shoulder.

He knew. He knew what he was doing, he had too. Why else was he making eye contact with Chan while you were messing around with his hair some more.

You looked at Jisung, then at Chan, hitting Jisung's forehead lightly. "I'm gonna go get something to drink." You muttered. Getting up, Yunjin getting up to follow you, dragging Chaewon along. "He's such a dick! He always comes over just to annoy you I swear! That man gets on my nerves." Yunjin said, looking back just to glare at Chan.

Chaewon nods, "I don't know what your relationship is with him, but he's been staring all night. Thought it was weird because you didn't seem interested.." She says, grabbing a cup and getting some coke.

"It's because I'm not. I was at one point, found out he's a player and now we're here." You stated, smiling when Chaewon handed you the cup.

"Did you ever tell him that you didn't want anything to do with him anymore? Maybe he's just oblivious to the obvious cold shoulder you've been giving him.. and because he's a man." Chaewon said as she handed Yunjin her drink before getting her own.

"Maybe. I just don't really owe him one." You responded, checking your phone once again.

"Dude you waiting for someone? You keep checking that phone like you are." Yunjin asked, suddenly interested in the conversation. "Nope. Checking the time, Felix said we could leave at 11:30." You stated, looking around the room for your roomate.

You sighed when you didn't see him, excusing yourself from Yunjin and Chaewon's argument about whether or not flaming hot cheetos are better than the original and walking to the door leading outside.

You unlocked your phone, seeing you missed a text from him. You groaned as you read the message.

lix :): I'm so so sorry Y/N but I'm leaving with someone and he's rlly cute and omg ufhdidjwbg *!&$>*$?×,!$* I'll call you a Uber if you want, otherwise you can ask Chan to drive you home !! :)

me: you owe me you stupid australian. your doing my laundry for a month, fuck head.

lix:): love you <33333

"Hi.." Said someone behind you, making you jump slightly before your eyes softened.

"I know you don't really owe me anything, but I really need a ride, Chan." You stated, avoiding as much small talk as you could.

"Uh, yeah I'll drive you." He smiled awkwardly, reaching in his back pocket to make sure he didn't leave anything before walking towards his car, you following behind him.

"You haven't had anything to drink right?" You asked nervously, you didn't want to get into a car with sober him let alone drunk him.

He shook his head, opening the passenger door when you two reached his car, smiling slightly when you got in.

"Thank you. You remember where I live right?" You asked, looking over at him."I think so. Just haven't been 'round in a while." He nodded to himself, starting to drive. The first few minutes were awkward, a joke every here and there, Chan looking at you when he thought you couldn't notice, you staring at him whenever he smiled at one of the shitty jokes you made.

That's when he asked the question.

"Why did you stop talking to me, Y/N? I really liked spending time with you, you know." He frowned slightly, looking over at you when you reached a red light.

You sighed, looking down at your lap.

"I saw you kissing someone else, Chan. We went on 2 dates, you flirted with me all the time, you asked me to be your girlfriend even! Then I came over to tell you I made my decision and that I wanted us to be official and I saw her. It sucked and I knew I would start crying if I tried to explain what I saw so I decided to ignore your existence." You said in one breath, inhaling once you were done. Damn you could be a rapper.

He looked back at the road, expressionless.

"Do you want me to explain myself? Because I will. I really like you, Y/N. And if I have to explain what happened then that's what I'll do." He stated, driving once the light turned green.

"An explanation wouldn't be horrible." You mumbled, fidgeting with your nails.

He looked over at you for a moment, before sighing. "She was a friend. She invited herself over because her boyfriend had just dumped her, I comforted her, she took that as an invitation I think? She kissed me and I assume that's what you saw. Afterwards I told her I wasn't interested and we promised each other never to speak about it again." He states, reaching your apartment complex, parking and then looking over at you.

"I would never purposely hurt you, Y/N." He added.

"I feel kinda stupid now." You joked, trying to lighten the mood. "I'm sorry I assumed you would do that, Chan. You don't really seem like that kind of person." You smiled, opening your door and getting out.He smiled, opening the apartment door for you and standing outside. Waiting for your next move.

"Do you uh- do you wanna come up?" You asked, avoiding eye contact in the embarrassing case he said no."Yeah. I would like that a lot." He reached his hand out towards you, signaling you to take it, giggling when you do.

"You still remember our apartment number? Creep." You smiled, walking up the stairs, you started swinging your hands back and forth.

"I came here a few times when you were ignoring me, I almost knocked on your door but I ended up backing out." He looked down at your intertwined hands, his ears and nose turning a light red. He looked up as he recognized you two were on your floor.

"Pussy." You said jokingly, reaching into your purse to grab your key, unlocking your door when you reached it."

"You're so rude. I can't belive I like you. My taste concerns me." He chuckles, face softening as you laugh.

You look at him, seeing hes looking back at you. "Can I kiss you, Chan?" You ask, a sudden seriousness in your tone.

"I don't really think you deserve it." He smiled teasingly, dropping a hand to your waist and pulling you his direction.

"Shut up." You said, cupping his cheek and kissing him. He immediately reciprocated, putting his hand on the nape of your neck to deepen the kiss.

You whimper into the kiss when he bites your lip, he reached down to your thigh squeezing it before tapping it, indicating you should jump. You did, wrapping your legs around his waist as he carried you to your bedroom, you reaching behind him to shut the door.

He placed you on the bed, starting to kiss down your neck as you grabbed his hair. He lifted for a second, "You're so pretty. So fucking pretty." He said, making you sit up so he could pull off your shirt. He sat back for a minute admiring you. He smirked at the way you shrunk under his gaze.

"I'm gonna fuck you so good, baby." He smiled up at you, pulling your pants down you legs and quickly taking off his shirt.

He immediately started kissing your stomach, slowly traling his way down to your thighs, biting them gently.

You traced your fingers up his arm, digging your nails into his bicep when he starts kissing your clothed cunt. "More. Sir, please..Fuck I need more!" You started moaning, not comprehending what you were saying.

He groaned against your cunt, starting to pull off your panties, as you reach up to unclasp your bra.

"Fuck call me that again." He said, immediately attaching his mouth to your neck, making his way down to your breasts. You moaned, intertwining your fingers in his hair and pulling when he got to your nipple, taking it into his mouth and sucking slightly.

You grabbed at his pants, attempting to pull them down, failing miserably because of the angle. He stopped you, taking down his pants and boxers in one.

You moaned when you saw him fully, cock already hard and leaking pre-cum. He smirked at you, kissing you before pulling back.

"Condoms?" He asked, you looked at him, mentally cursing yourself.

"I don't have any..." You frowned. This is what you get for being bitchless you guess.

"I can go raid Lixs' drawers. Hold on, baby." He said, starting to pull his boxers back up.

"Or you can just fuck me raw." You said, suprising yourself with the amount of confidence you had in your tone.

He groaned at your words, putting a hand against your throat."You really know just what to say, huh?" He started, "Oh wait, you can't answer." He chuckles, leaning down to kiss your jawline one more time.

"You're so fucking adorable. And you're all mine. I'm gonna fuck you everyday until the only person's name you remember is mine." He said, sudden seriousness in his voice. He started teasing your entrance with his cock, your arousal already acting as lubrication.

He moaned as he pushed inside you, "Fuck you're tight, baby. Feel so good." He said, rubbing your cheek with his thumb as he tightened his grip around your neck.

He started thrusting into you, grabbing your thighs and pushing them to your chest so he could hit your sweet spot, cooing mockingly when you let out a whimper.

"Poor baby.. Does it feel too good?" He asked in fake sympathy, smiling when you nodded vigorously.

"Such a good girl, My good girl." He groaned, lifting his hand from your waist to rub your clit. He picked up his pace, his breathing becoming more rapid.

"I've waited for this for so long baby. Im fucking obsessed with you." He grunted, looking at your face and seeing your eyes shut tight.

"Cum? Please?" You asked with what little voice you had. He smiled at you, letting go of your neck so he could hear you moan as you came.

"Whenever you want, Baby. Whenever you want." He said softly, he reached down and intertwined your hands, squeezing them reassuringly.

"Thank you! Fuck, Thank you, sir." You started stringing together your words, arching your back off the bed.

He moaned your name as you came, his high immediately following yours, rubbing your thighs to try and soothe you. He laid down next to you when both of your highs turned into sensitivity.

The second you came back to reality, you immediately started laughing, Chan looked over confused,

"What? Was it bad?" He asks, nervousness apparent on his face.

"I'm obsessed with you! Oh my god, Babygirl." You said jokingly biting your lip and trying not to laugh again.

"Oh, shut up! Ms. Cum, Please." He said smiling over at you, reaching his hand over to brush the hair out of your face.

"You were going all Darth vader on me. you got a choking kink, Channie?" You smiled, raising a eyebrow. He started getting out of bed and heading towards you kitchen.

"Wowwww. You really slept with me for my food. We live in a society-" Your words were cut off as he returned with a bottle of water for you.

"Oh. Nevermind. Thanks!"

Ted Lasso Wish List for S3E9-E12

(In no particular order)

Phoebe: I’ll be happy to see her again at all, but I want her adopt Jamie as her new cousin. We all know he would absolutely slay at Princess and Dragon.

Dump Jane, Coach!: For good. Even if it’s offscreen and mentioned in passing.

Trent Crimm’s Daughter: Now, please. I need to see AFC Richmond turning into a bunch of softies like they do for Henry.

Colin and Isaac BFFs: I am still beside myself over E8. If they break up as friends for good, I will have no faith left in humanity. My darling fashion-challenged boys, get your shit together and fix this.

Jamie’s Mum: I don’t even need to see her on screen - just assure me she did everything she could to kick James Sr to the curb, keep her kid as far away from him as she was legally allowed, and tell me her fate.

More Bumbercatch: That chaotic little gremlin has said the wildest shit in passing this season and I never want it to end.

Roy’s Sister.: Even if it’s just once, to make a cheeky joke at Roy’s expense, I need to meet her.

Dump Jack, Keeley!: She treats Keeley like a pet or a novelty, not a partner or a person. She doesn’t even trust Keeley to hire her own office staff or write her own PR statement.

A Full Pack of Diamond Dogs: Ted, Beard, Higgins, Trent, and Roy, not just occasionally swearing from his office, but talking about his actual feeling.

Will someone please tell Jamie why he was really sent back to Man City?: They don’t even need to be specific - just let that poor boy know his coaches/dads really did want him around and it wasn’t his fault.

Rebecca gets to be a mum.: I don’t care if Sassy dies and she ends up with Nora or she hooks up with Ted and becomes Henry’s bonus mum or adopts an orphan or just figures out she already has a couple dozen very sweet, very dim sons - give my girl her one true wish.

Dump Dr Jacob, Michelle!: I don’t care that she’s got a boyfriend, but I very much care he was her ex-therapist. Your man is deeply unethical at best and creepy and malicious at worst.

The Family Higgins!: Even if it’s just Julie that makes a return, I’ll be happy to see any and all of their lovely faces.

Miscellaneous Himbo Shenanigans: All specific himbo-related requests are listed above. I just want as much of our sweet summer children being good friends and ridiculous humans as we can get.

And, the one which absolutely will not happen, but God I’d love it:

Bex gets West Ham in the divorce.: Series ends with her redecorating Rupert’s office just like Rebecca did is S1E1.

hey bestie could you write something about harry getting sick with a cold and reader taking care of him?

Drabble Request

Drabble Masterlist

——————

“Harry, come on you have to go back to bed baby” You frown softly, the back of your hand lightly pressing against his forehead. The chill from your hand clearly having no effect on his burning skin.

“I can’t I have a meeting to go to” He mutters, his curly locks were dampened with a light layer of sweat from where he had been sleeping. Since Saturday night, he had been moping around the house with a chesty cough, sore throat and a snotty nose.

“Harry, no one is going to want you there if you’re sick. You need to rest” You sigh softly, your lips pecking at his temple gently while he pulls the duvet closer around his shirtless frame.

“But I-” He protests with a soft pout

“No.” You mumble sternly. “I’ll phone the boys and they can update you later on what was said. If you don’t rest, you’ll be just as bad for the next meeting. And you have to start writing the new album next week” You lean back against the head board as you watch Harry sulk quietly.

“I hate it when you’re right” He mutters under his breath, his voice sounding raspy and sore. He leaned back and buried his head into your chest.

You breathe out a small chuckle and wrap your arms around him sweetly, your fingers brushing through his curls. “Y’burning up baby” You frown, sweeping his hair out of his face.

“No m’not” He grumbles, nuzzling his face deeper into your chest. “Come and watch TV with me”

“H, come on, I need to do housework” You tap his shoulder lightly.

“No you don’t. You need to stay here” He grumbles, his brow creasing and his arms tightening around your waist as you try to pull away from him.

“Okay listen I’ll do you a deal...Let me go and phone Liam and I’ll bring you up some snacks and I’ll put my pyjamas on and then I’ll come back to bed and stay here for the rest of the day with you...okay?” You tilt his chin up gently so that his tired eyes can lock onto yours. “I’ll be five minutes”

He sighs deeply and grunts in agreement, rolling off your chest and slumping back onto the bed.

As promised, you were a quick five minutes, speaking to Liam, finding Harry some medicine, water and snacks and heading back upstairs.

He was half asleep and in exactly the same spot you left him in. You hated to see him unwell, and empty of his charming glow and energy. You place everything you had brought upstairs on your bedside table and quickly grabbed your pyjama shorts and Cami top.

You slipped off your jeans and hoodie, quickly pulling on your pyjamas and slipping into bed beside Harry. Before you had even gotten yourself comfortable, Harry had squirmed his way back into your arms.

“Hi baby” He muttered sleepily. His face hiding into your neck and his body turned so he was on his side, his left leg hooked over your left leg.

“How are you feeling curly?” You whisper, wrapping your arms around his shoulders and giving him a loving squeeze.

“Tired” He grunts. Your nails tickled his back, down his bare skin, sending shivers up his spine. That was always something that could make him fall asleep when he was over tired.

“Take some tablets first, then you can sleep” You smile gently, resting your cheek on top of his head and massaging his shoulder gently. You reach over to grab the tablets and bottle of water from the side and sit him up carefully. He felt so limp and, in that moment, you wished you could take it all away from him. You put the tablets into his mouth and hold the bottle to his lips. “Come on baby, you need to drink for me...” He groans and takes a gulp like you asked.

“You look after me so well. Thank you” He mutters as your thumb wipes the water from his lip.

“Well, you do the same for me” You whisper. “Now sleep my sick little gremlin” You wrap your arms around him tightly once again, he wanted to protest and huff about being called a gremlin, but he shut his eyes slowly as you peppered his head in kisses.

“I love you so much” He mutters, his voice croaky and soft, his head feeling heavy.

“I love you most” You whisper with a smile, holding him against your chest and taking a deep sigh.

Birthday Trip

Summary: the year is 2022 and it's Eddie's 57th birthday! His wife Sam and his adult daughter Jess plan a trip to the newly opened legal weed dispensery to celebrate and have some family bonding in the car

A/N- I started writing this like a month ago when i went to the weed store and I started thinking abt how Eddie would react and I finally finished it! Just a cute little story with a lot of gentle ribbing and love for a guy who definitely is living a long and happy life rn

Contains: Dad!Eddie, obviously, bullying via bowling for soup, some kinda meta content, and a lot of shade thrown at his canon ending that feels extremely in character to me, and as always Eddie is a little gremlin. He doesn't age out of that one.

Enjoy!

3.6k

(other fics)

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

Eddie opened one eye at a time and saw his wife, Sam, still sleeping. He smiled even though she drooled a little out of the corner of her mouth, and wondered a little at how young and beautiful she still looked even after so long, he swore she hadn't aged since they started dating and whatever age she was showing only made her pretty face more beautiful.

He, however, felt the opposite. Today was his birthday. His….fifty seventh birthday. Eddie shuddered just thinking about it and brushed his- still unruly and wild though slightly shorter - hair and tried to ignore all the wiry grays.

He got up and started breakfast, hoping that maybe everybody would just forget and he'd get to stay 56 for another year.

Or 25, for that matter.

Eventually Sam woke up and he grinned. They'd been married over 30 years now and every morning he still got butterflies at her sleepy face first thing in the morning. She came over and kissed his cheek. He grimaced from the morning breath but still felt the warmth on his cheek where her lips touched it for a moment.

"Happy birthday!" She said, her voice still a little groggy and it was followed by a yawn. "Jess told me not to plan anything for this afternoon because she had an idea."

Eddie smiled a little. Their daughter Jess was an odd one, just like the two of them were, so he figured that whatever she had planned was probably good. Though he was sure Sam wished she hadn't wanted to keep it a surprise since he was usually not able to think of anything else until he knew what it was.

A couple hours later Jess parked in the driveway and let herself in. When she saw her parents sitting on the couch she grinned, going over to hug her dad.

"Happy birthday! How old are you, again?" She asked, and Eddie just sighed.

"Fifty seven. He's getting old. Not like me, since, yknow, I married an older man and all." His wife teased, and he rolled his eyes.

"Sam you're a year younger than me, you can't call me old." He said and his wife and daughter laughed. He smiled to himself, still loving the sound.

Jess rounded them excitedly into the car and her mom took the back so the birthday boy could have shotgun.

"Soooo, where are we going?" Eddie asked, and his daughter eyed him mischievously.

"I'll tell you when we get closer."

"Can we put on some music?"

Jess reached out to start playing with the radio and Eddie frowned.

"It's my birthday, why don't I get to choose?" He complained.

"Driver gets to pick the music, you made the rule to make me listen to dad rock for a million years now it's my turn." She said, and he grumbled.

"Dad rock." He scoffed " you always call it that like it means it's not cool. Dad's do rock!" He said in an over exaggerated voice and started to play air guitar, to the annoyed groans of everybody in the car.

"Every time." Sam said from the back with a laugh.

"Daaad- my car is too small for headbanging." Eddie grinned at his daughter's fond fake annoyance that had replaced her pure teen annoyance at the joke years ago.

"And it's not like nobody thinks it's cool anymore- last summer your mom and I went to a Metallica show and it was packed."

"Even Metallica doesn't think that's cool anymore." Jess shot back with an eye roll.

"How is that different than the tears for fears show you two dragged me to a couple years ago."

"Ooooh that was such a good show." Jess said, and Sam agreed.

"Okay, if the driver gets to pick the music, then let me drive."

"You don't know where we're going." His daughter teased.

"Then tell me!" He said, getting excited.

She pulled up to a red light and turned the radio on to whatever station it was already on and grinned conspiratorially.

"Nope, it's a surprise."

A pop song started and Eddie frowned but didn't try to change it.

"Is this Taylor Swift?" He asked, and Jess glanced at me.

"It's not always Taylor Swift, you always guess her."

"They all sound like Taylor Swift."

"The video was Taylor Swift right?" Sam asked from the back, as if that was enough information for any kind of answer. She shook her head in exasperation.

"The Taylor Swift video with the girl from the show!" Sam tried to explain from the back and Jess grinned at the fact that her mom couldn't even remember the name of an actress they had met.

"What show?"

"She means Dustin's show, she's talking about Sadie Sink, she's the one playing Max. She did a project with Taylor Swift recently. We literally met her." Jess explained, an expert by now at deciphering her parents' clues as to what famous person they could possibly be talking about at any moment.

"Oh right, Sadie. God that was an uncanny resemblance." Eddie said, thinking back to when he met Max as a teenager and the actor that Dustin had cast with Max, who had insisted on being there because she needed to know that actress would make sure it was clear that she was much cooler than the rest of them.

"Right? It was kinda spooky." Sam commented, and Eddie nodded.

The radio had been turned down but at a new song starting Jess grinned exactly as her parents groaned.

"Awesome- I was literally planning on playing this on the way!" She said, and her parents gave her loving death glares and Jess let out a satisfied cackle and turned the radio way up.

"I'm being bullied on my birthday." Eddie complained, and Sam began to join in on the laughter, even though she hated the song and the amount of times she'd been forced to hear it to make her feel old as well.

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana there was U2 and Blondie, music still on MTV

"28 years we have taken care of you and this is now you thank us?" He said sarcastically disappointed as she sang along louder.

"Her two kids in highschool, they tell her that she's uncool- cuz she's still preoccupied with 19 - 19- 1985." Both his wife and daughter sang along enthusiastically and he looked to the back seat in betrayal.

"Betrayed by my own family." He wailed dramatically as they sang along and he couldn't resist a grin seeing them so happy, even if it was at his expense.

"When did motley crue become classic rock?"

"It's not."

"And when did Ozzy become an actor?"

"Jesus, I hate this song."

"Make! It! Stop! STOP!" They sang.

"Got it." Eddie took his moment to reach out and turn the radio off, to their protests.

"He told me to make it stop!" He said at their complaints.

"And I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm hung up on 1986, not 85, because that was the year I met your mom, who I fell in love with instantly because she was the coolest, most badass girl in plaid pants and doc martens that I had ever seen." He said in an overly gooey voice and batted his eyes and his wife who grinned.

"Gross." Jess commented, but was ignored.

"Awww, and you still had your bangs!" Sam giggled.

"Wasn't 1986 the year you were accused of triple homicide?" Jess interrupted, and Eddie shrugged.

"Other stuff happened that year, too." He complained, and Sam grinned.

"Besides, everybody likes a bad boy." Sam said with a lovesick sounding voice.

"Is a guy accused of triple homicide a bad boy to you?" She argued.

"Hey! I also listened to cool music and sold drugs. Also I was innocent." He said proudly.

"Wow. Dad, I love you, I am amazed that I even exist."

"Yeah, he had no game whatsoever." Sam piped in.

"Hey!"

"Am I wrong?" She challenged, with her always beautiful grin.

"I was doing alright before I realized I was flirting." He said defensively.

"It was cute!"

"Still not doing much to convince me of the bad boy thing." Jess prodded, and they rolled their eyes.

"Well, after he started dating I didn't call him a bad boy anymore. What did I switch to then, Eddie?" She said with an expectant smile.

He sighed "the bad at everything boy…."

"Because of the time he almost died like an idiot?" Jess asked, and Sam nodded.

"Because of the time he almost died like an idiot." She said with a loving sigh.

"But you only married me so you could remind me of it every day, right? That makes it worth it in my book." He said cockily.

"Bummer- I would've married you anyway so I guess it was for nothing!"

"Dustin still thinks it was heroic"

"Dustin is wrong." Sam scolded.

"Have you talked to him lately? We should check in."

"Because you know that your character is coming in next season and you want details?"

Sam snorted from the back and started quietly giggling.

"What?"

She couldn't stop laughing now, and Eddie turned around to watch her cracking up and clapping

"Care to let us in on the joke Hon?" He asked cheerfully.

"I'm sorry this is gonna sound mean and I love you so much. But I did suggest that Dustin just let the bats kill your character for being an idiot." She said, exploded into giggles, and he looked at her scandalized.

"You are never gonna let that go are you?" He said, not without good humor.

He'd be dead without Sam, would have sacrificed himself for no damn reason. He already had sacrificed himself, technically, until she grabbed his unconscious ass and dragged him up through a portal with Dustin to some medical attention. Within moments of him waking up she was yelling at him for wasting so much time and almost getting himself killed and being so stupid. She had been so angry he was pretty sure that he had been about to lose her forever.

"God, I'm so sorry, Sammy. I really screwed up and if this is…it, then…. I get it." He had said miserably, feeling like he was about to lose everything.

And then she was kissing him for the first time ever. Over and over again and all over his face and he was kissing her back and he was confused, certainly, but that didn't last long.. He understood more every second when he felt the way she was gripping onto his hair and his hospital gown and the tears he felt rolled off her nose onto cheek. She was sometimes frustrated when she could make people understand what she was saying, but now she explained everything without words.

He didn't know what to do with somebody that cared that much. Love her back was what he went with, and never regretted it.

He had been grateful, and she had been right when she had said he would have thrown his life away. Coming back into Hawkins made him feel like there was no chance his life could go back to normal after this. Nobody would ever believe he was innocent.

He spent a lot of the day trying to decide if heroically dying in the Upside Down would be better or worse than going to prison for a crime he didn't commit. He wouldn't deny that when he saw the bats coming it felt like an opportunity to make himself worth a damn.

Only for him to lose consciousness hearing the girl he'd had a crush on for months cursing him out.

"Unbelievable. What kind of fucking idiot is he that he still thinks he's a coward after all this? Stupid asshole. What does he think he has to redeem himself for anyway? He didn't do anything fucking wrong. Until now, Jesus Christ did he not think about how little wiggle room this plan has? Did he really think we'd have time to drag his unconscious ass out of here?"

Dustin was still sniffling. "Sam, I don't think he expected us to save him at all."

"Well then he's even dumber than I fucking thought."

Eddie should've known Sam wouldn't have given up on him that easily. She fought for him to the point where he felt like an absolute moron for ever believing that she wouldn't brute force her way into a happy ending.

So he got to live, and got to be happy. With her, of all people. Sometimes he wondered if he was just having one last burst of chemicals in his brain before he really died, imagining a life he always wished for.

If that’s what he got out of it, he thought that her being allowed to never let it go was more than a fair exchange.

"You're gonna let the bats kill me? Seriously?" He asked in jest, kinda laughing at the absolute lack of narrative sense that would make but shrugging it off.

"I'm not even in it, how do you think I feel?" Sam said with a laugh, despite the fact that she had asked to not be included for reasons she didn't share.

"Eh, it's fine. He's gotta add some inconsistencies or else it'll be too obvious that it's true."

"No it won't. I've heard the actual story a million times and it makes no fucking sense." Jess said, and her parents shrugged in concession.

"Alright, it's my birthday and I have been sufficiently bullied, can I please pick the music now?" He asked in a fake dejected tone.

"Fine, fine. You can pick the radio. The oldies station is number five." She said, and he turned it on.

A song he didn't recognize was coming to a close and Jess gave an odd look at the console.

"I said five." She said, and he pressed it again but it remained on the same channel.

And that was thanks for the memories by panic at the disco on classic oldies 101.4 the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s.

"What?!" Jess shouted in horror. "That song is from, like, 2007 that's not oldies!"

Eddie didn't try to hold back his laughter as she cast an angry look at him.

"Karma worked fast!" Sam shrieked in delight from the back seat.

"Shut up! That song isn't that old!"

"No, no, it's not. But also, and I love you more than anything in the world, you do deserve this." Eddie said through his laughter.

"That's true. You have been pulling this specific card for years to make us feel old so I think this one is actually fate." Sam piped up.

"I'm just glad that we got to be here to see it together." Eddie sighed dreamily. "I don't even need another present."

"You sure? Cuz we're here but we can just go home if you want…" She teased, pulling into the parking lot and Eddie glanced up, his eyes widening.

"Tada! The new legal weed dispensary."

Jess glanced at her dad and saw his big goofy smile.

"I didn't know one was actually opening!" He said in excitement and hopped out of the car, looking up at it in an impish and excited way that made him look oddly young to his daughter.

Sam and Jess walked up to the door and Eddie excitedly tailed behind them into the tiny space with a glass counter full of edibles and paraphernalia and a back wall lined with jars, looking a bit like a kid in a forbidden candy store.

Behind the counter were two bored looking women on their phones who glanced up when they came back in and gave small smiles before looking back down.

"This is so weird! Like…is this really allowed?" Eddie said mischievously, and the four women in the store looked at him and nodded. Jess grinned at her mom because this was going exactly how they expected.

He pointed to different jars and they let him smell the contents with a grin on his face.

"You guys must have, like, the best job ever." He said excitedly, glancing at the guy in the back filling up little cones to make joints in bulk.

All three employees shrugged.

"It's alright, but it's still just a job." They said, and the others agreed.

Sam glanced at her Dad and hoped he wasn't disappointed in the level of enthusiasm but he wasn't deterred in the slightest. He was looking at the sour candy edibles and he might not have even heard the answer.

"I used to sell weed,y'know. In the 80s." He said, and they nodded a little awkwardly.

"I met my wife because she used to buy from me. Changed my life…" he said, glancing back at them affectionately.

Jess glanced at her mom with her eyebrows raised and her mom.

"Okay we didn't get together because he was a drug dealer." She said defensively.

"No, we got together because you were only into freaks." He said and turned back to the case,

"Ew, what?" Jess said in disgust, and her dad turned back around in a full spin and pointed a finger at her.

"Not that kind of freak. 80s version of a freak. Y’know, anti establishment." He explained.

"I think it meant Super embarrassing." Sam said in a know it all voice

"Counterculture-" He defended, facing his wife fully with her silly smirk he loved.

"Attention seeking-" She tried

"Totally metal-" he walked forward

"Ridiculous" She said, now standing close to him, and grabbing the end of his still long less voluminous hair.

"Badass-" He said leaning in, and Sam grinned at how little time felt like it had passed.

Yeah they had heartburn if they drank too much and usually fell asleep by nine but when she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye she saw her absurd and adorable metalhead boyfriend in 1986. Nothing about those big brown eyes had changed.

"Handsome-' she said in a sappy voice. Either they didn't notice the employees and their daughter staring, they didn't care, or they were being embarrassing on purpose.

"Rock star-"

"With big brown eyes like a baby cow." She finished lovingly, pecking him on the lips and he grinned with a laugh.

"Yikes- I am so sorry about them. It's my dad's birthday and they've been going down quite the nostalgia trip."

Jess said apologetically, but they didn't seem any more or less annoyed when he turned back around, though all three women seemed to be peering at his eyes.

"Yeah I see it. The cow thing." Jess conceded, and the two women behind the counter nodded in agreement.

"Are you guys gonna buy something?" They asked and Eddie seemed to remember all of a sudden where they were and went back to the counter.

"Can I haaaaave some of the sour candies, and- five bucks a gram? That's not bad- ooh, is that bong shaped like a dinosaur?"

Sam and Jess glanced at each other with grins at the sight of Eddie the freak Munson bouncing in excitement like a kid in a candy store as the still bored woman grabbed another jar so he could smell it.

They eventually spent what was probably too much money but it was worth it to see Eddie walk out of there looking like he had pulled the heist of the century. The way he rushed the little black paper bag to the car looked like he was expecting them to change their minds and take it back when they remembered it wasn't allowed.

"Good birthday present?" Jess asked with a grin, and her dad responded.

"The best." He asked with a grin, peeking in the bag to admire the purchases and then back to his family.

Sure, it was a silly thing to be excited about, and he was sure a lot of parents out there would judge him and Sam for smoking with their daughter even if she was an adult- though most of them wouldn't hesitate to have a glass of wine with them at dinner. They teased him- a lot- but the things they brought up were so accurate and specific that he couldn't help but feel very known by them. Every time either of them bring up the dumpster story all they're saying is remember the time that you made us laugh so hard we cried?

They got back onto the highway and he glanced at his wife and daughter and grinned, looking out the window, and silently reminded himself how grateful he was to have them. The kind of family that would take him to a dispensary like a toys r us because they knew that his favorite stuff was the stuff that felt a little bit not allowed. Like even though he was just an old dad that owned a tabletop games and hobby shop now but still was the rebel he used to be.

But now it was different, he was a rebel before sure. He liked who he was and refused change for anybody and said fuck whoever didn't like it. He had relished in it when people called him a freak but he still wanted somebody to see all those things and like them too. Not just like him despite them.

And he knew that the two women in that car loved him very much, because in every gentle tease was backed up by one underlying and undeniable fact that all three of them knew: he wasn't wasn't half as fuckin weird as either of them.

Not even a contest.

He grinned to himself and made eye contact with his wife in the backseat over the shoulder of their daughter driving and they both silently smiled.

Maybe they were a family of freaks, but hey,

Eddie had always loved the circus.
