#Lisa L. Peters

[daddydoddsjr]

It’s a bit different from the usual type of asks, but which characters (any fandom you like) would you trust to look after your plants and/or pet for a week?

Contents/Warnings || Just plants, pets, fluffish

Fandoms || Law and Order SVU, Law and Order, Blue Bloods, House MD, 9-1-1

Law and Order SVU

Olivia Benson

She doesn’t always have much time in the day to take care of anyone but herself and Noah

But I still feel like she’d make the time if you asked her and she’d definitely be reliable with it

Sonny Carisi

Loves animals and plants

Would go out of his way to make time to check on your plants and animals daily

Law and Order

Nolan Price

Gentle with plants and animals

Thinks he’s too busy for his own, sadly

But if you asked, he’d definitely do it

Blue Bloods

Jamie Reagan

Immediate yes from him

Would go after work daily and check on them

House MD

Lisa Cuddy

Of course she’ll say yes

Anything to get away from House for a little while

Allison Cameron

Would probably name your plants

And talk to them

9-1-1

Athena Grant

She’d love to

And she’d probably love to steal your pet when the week is over

[writterings]

family guy fandom from an alternate reality:

-main ships are peter/quagmire and peter/joe. huge ship wars over them in 2015. nowadays though the fandom is more progressive and cool and a lot of people ship peter/quagmire/joe or peter/lois/quagmire or peter/lois/joe/bonnie or even peter/lois/joe/bonnie/quagmire.

-these are all shorted to p+l+j+b+q or whatever. or just like pljbq. lots of jokes about fandom newbies not understanding all the ship abbreviations.

-cleveland is the token straight friend or is forgotten entirely from the fandom.

-genuine discourse defending brian x stewie.

-people calling the actual liberal takes in the show "so progressive and subversive"

-surprisingly there is a relatively large amount of ship art of lisa simpson x meg that everyone claims to ship so hard but then you go on ao3 and there are like. 3 fics.

-(your own attempt to write one never gets posted)

-(this is not me saying i would ship them or anything, but i feel like i'm also just making a whole analogy of the fandom experience with this)

-heavy celebration of that bart simpson x chris fan comic where they're adults in couple's counseling (with bobby hill as their therapist). so much so that there is an entire smaller fandom for this crossover au of the simpsons/family guy and sometimes other shows are included like king of the hill or american dad or even bob's burgers (who's usually featured as a cameo or smth in fics, like if the characters stop in a restaurant and it's bob's restaurant). it's called "simpsons guy" or "simpsons guy of the hill" OR "simpsons guy of the hill's burgers"

-or SGOtHB

-blogs dedicated to pointing out the animation errors

-quagmire x reader fanfics being popular, but there is so much discourse around whether it's right or if a lot of stuff is in-character with quagmire or if it's even ethical to like quagmire at a character at all

-meg and chris are a lot closer and nicer to each other in fanfics and fan art. more supportive to each other against their abusive parents.

-like three genuine fanfics and one piece of fan art depicting the evil monkey as chris' real emotional father.

-several fanfics written in a star wars au (both genuine and in the same universe as the show's star wars parody)

-lots of ironic fan art about brian being a stoner

-more serious aspects that are usually played for gags in the show are treated so so so seriously. like how meg is treated and her depression. or like how joe probably has trauma (and so does his son).

-people saying that they would want peter and lois as their parents. then people pointing out why that would be bad and a then a lot of discourse happens.

-joe cop discourse

-discourse on the morality of shipping brian with humans

-popular tag on ao3 that says "Brian Griffin Only Dates Dogs" or "Universe Altercation: Brain Griffin Only Dates Dogs" or "Dog!Jillian"

-sub part of the fandom dedicated to celebrating mayor west (and a surprising amount of love for the ship of him and his wife)

-drawing the characters in different outfits. (i personally want to see meg in a yellow sunflower dress and peter in an 80s disco man outfit)

-SO MUCH fan art of peter x the chicken but it's not as popular now as it used to be.

-and in 2012, more of whatever else this is:

Day 4

Previously on PRSC... 

ELP disintegrates after a shocking and vicious murder! Upon disposing of the body, Keith and Carl return to their campsite, only to find two familiar figures waiting for them. 

These two figures are none other than Chris and Rick, who have abandoned the Yes camp to go and join their buddies in ELP. 

Carl instead informs them of what has occurred, and they plan to abandon Keith and leave for the Rush camp.

Meanwhile, in the Rush camp, they are still doing quite well, figuring out how to boil water to get rid of bacteria! Smart thinking all around, there!

Genesis finally managed to do something useful, like gathering food and making fishing rods. 

Death Count: 1

In Epping Forest!

Still not too much going right for Genesis! Peter has apparently recovered from his state of shock, and is attempting to help the others to the best of his ability, but even four days in, Tony still refuses to do anything. The others are trying to coax him to at least decorate the lovely shelters they have built (perhaps with his Etch-a-Sketch Mona Lisa?), but he refuses, instead writing some sort of musical score in the dirt. They have at least erected some shelters, and have begun to fish in the nearby pond, using those left-over guitar strings to make fishing rods (no thanks to Tony). Later, they were visited by Br00f, Fripp’s messenger, requesting details on their progress. They declined to provide any details, most likely because their progress has been minimal at best.

Meanwhile, in The Court…

Fripp, hearing rumors of a death, has sent Broof out as his personal messenger (or, as he calls him, “foreign intelligence”) to find out more information. He has also switched Muir’s role to “defense”, and has sent him out to protect The Court. Disturbingly, he has brought the pieces of sheet metal that he smuggled onto the plane with him in his “defense”. It is unclear what he plans to do with these. Meanwhile, Fripp switches the roles of everyone else in The Court in order to make up for this loss: David and Steve are now on gathering, and he sent out John on hunting duty. Fripp has fashioned himself a sort of… head garment made out of branches, and has taken to calling himself “The Crimson King”. We are still not calling him that. Has he gone mad with power? Perhaps…

And a new beginning…?

Today marks the departure of the new Yes-E(L)P alliance to the Rush camp. Unfortunately for Chris, Rick, and Carl, Keith has overheard their conversation, and decides to follow them there. Making the roughly 4-mile hike northwest to the camp, they arrive sometime in the afternoon to find it empty, because Rush are busy at work, of course. Chris and Rick, exhausted by their journeys, have simply decided to sit and wait for the Canadians to show themselves, meanwhile Carl tries to get them to help out and make themselves look somewhat useful. This effort is not very appreciated. Keith, on the other hand, has mysteriously fucked off for now…

After a period of around 15 minutes, the others begin to notice Keith’s absence, and although initially grateful for it, then begin to wonder if he has completely lost it, and slaughtered their new companions as well. They all agree, after much hassling from Carl, to go out and look to see where he’s run off to. Thankfully, it is revealed that he has not slaughtered anyone (today), but is instead simply raiding their supplies. While the others are busy interrogating Keith, three figures have emerged from the woods. It appears that during their argument, Rush have returned from their own errands. The Canadians, despite their usually agreeable nature, are not pleased that Keith has decided to help himself to their shit.  They begin a calm verbal confrontation, trying to ask him politely why he has their things, to which he begins threatening them with one of the knives he has strapped to him. His traveling companions, taken completely off-guard, attempt to restrain him, and de-escalate the situation. 

While holding him back from attacking their potential companions, Rick attempts to explain their predicament to Rush: both of their bands have fallen apart, and they need help to survive, otherwise they will all die (excellent observation!). He also emphasizes that Keith’s behavior is unusual for him, and tells them that if they got him on a hunting job, he would probably calm down. Sensing that the situation has de-escalated, Rush ask for a moment to talk amongst themselves, in order to consider their admission to the camp. In their conversation, it appears that they come to the unanimous conclusion that since they have the resources to help these weary travelers, they have a duty to accept them into their camp. Anything less would be immoral. While all of them agree on the moral aspect, Neil additionally reasons that they could help out around the camp, and lessen the load on the three of them, meanwhile the other two simply wanted to meet Yes. No matter their reasoning however, they have been accepted into their ranks, and thus form what they call The Conglomerate (in true pretentious prog rock fashion). 

Around a nice dinner (detailed in our special report on the group), The Conglomerate discusses the newcomers’ roles going forward. They seem to have taken a liking to each other, so only time may tell how this will go down. That’s all for today, so we’ll see you tomorrow for... 

The Prog Rock Survival Competition! 

[widowinmourning]

Peter chega à casa de Lisa, e sobe direto a escada até a suíte. Nas paredes e nas bancadas, muitas fotos de Lisa e John, que a amiga ainda mantinha nos devidos lugares, sinalizando que o período de longo ainda se estendia. Ao chegar ao quarto, deparou com Lisa arrumada, cabelos feitos, maquiada, em um vestidinho preto transparente. Por baixo, apenas uma minúscula calcinha. A transparência revelava nitidamente os seios perfeitos e os mamilos despontavam como dois convites à luxúria.

P- Uau! Bonita camisola!!

L- Olá, querido! Não é uma camisola. É um vestido.

P- Ah, tá bom!!! Claro que é uma camisola, Lisa!

L- Bom, a roupa é minha, e então eu decido se é uma camisola ou um vestido. Sei que já usei como camisola, mas hoje usarei como um vestido.

P- Ok, então! Bom, camisola ou vestido, eu acho que você está linda! Quem me dera!!!!

L- E vou sair para jantar com esse lindo vestido! (Lisa faz uma pose e dá uma volta, mostrando para Peter que a transparência também revela uma minúscula calcinha)

P- O que? Você está maluca? Só se for por cima do meu cadáver!

L- Vou sim, querido. Quem decide isso sou eu, e não o meu melhor amigo.

P- Ah é?? E por acaso vai sair pra jantar com quem? Algum desses seus pretendentes que ficam dando em cima de você?

L- Nada disso! Quem vai me levar para jantar é você mesmo!

P- Eu, Lisa? Imagina que posso levar você jantar vestida desse jeito! Imagina se alguém vê a gente e nos reconhece! Olha só.... A viúva em um vestido transparente com os peitos disponíveis a quem quiser ver, e com ela o melhor amigo do marido falecido que, aliás, tem namorada! Imagina se ela fica sabendo que levei você pra jantar assim! Ela já tem um ciúmes monstro de você, imagina se fica sabendo disso. (Só de ouvir falar da namorada de Peter, Lisa se consome de raiva por dentro, pois é muito ciumenta, mesmo com seu amigo.)

L- Vai, Peter!! Você me leva naquele restaurante que fica na colina, e que você me levou uma vez. É um bistrô minúsculo e super discreto. E o ambiente é uma penumbra gostosa. Não seremos vistos.

P- Ah, Lisa, não sei....

L- Bom, então creio que terei que partir para a minha segunda opção..... aquele meu primo que você tanto odeia, que tal?

P- De jeito nenhum!!!

L- Ou então aquele gringo que eu conheci outro dia e que ficou me mandando mensagens, dizendo que quer casar comigo e me levar pra morar no exterior, que tal?

P- Muito menos! Pare de me provocar.

L- Então diz que me leva, vai.... Estou precisando muito, Peter, e escolhi essa roupa porque sabia que você ia gostar de me ver com ela. Estou pedindo para VOCÊ me levar, Peter!! Qualquer homem diria sim pra mim, você não acha?

P- Poxa, Lisa. Não é que eu gostei, eu adorei! Mas eu realmente não esperava por isso. Me dê um segundo, deixa eu raciocinar..... Então você está sugerindo que eu te leve jantar no bistrô da colina... Ok então.... Eu te levo. Mas então você pode colocar um sobretudo pelo menos pra gente chegar lá?

L- Sim, eu coloco, se você prefere. Mas quando chegarmos lá, eu faço questão de tirar. Normalmente o maitre já fica com os casacos quando chegamos. Vou achar muito sexy que ele fique com o meu.

P- Meu Deus, Lisa. Você está descontrolada. (os dois caem na risada e enfim se abraçam. Peter repousa as mãos no quadril de Lisa)

L- Estou mesmo, Peter. Preciso me exibir pra alguém, e você será a minha vítima!

P- Bom, eu adoro ser a sua vítima.... Você realmente judia de mim!

L- E você de mim, né!!!

P- Bom, acho que a gente se entende muito bem.

L- Sim, a gente se entende muito bem mesmo. E olha aqui, já que você aceitou me levar, eu prometo fazer uma coisa em você que você adora quando a gente voltar.

P- E o que seria isso que eu tanto gosto?

(Lisa se aproxima sorrindo de Peter, coloca a mão na barriga dele e desce até o botão da calça. Eles se sorriem. Ela leva a outra mão e abre o botão).

P- Lisa...... vai com calma aí heim. (Peter vive eternamente o paradoxo do luto de Lisa. Além de ter sido o melhor amigo do marido falecido, não quer deixar que esse tesão acumulado acabe estragando a amizade deles. Por outro lado, as tentações que experimenta com todas as exibições e provocações de Lisa são extremamente excitantes, e muitas vezes fica no limite de dar aquele passo adiante. Não bastasse a nudez recorrente da amiga, que já é muito perturbadora, ela ainda desenvolveu algumas intimidades entre eles que tornam ainda mais desafiador o auto-controle.)

(Lisa abre o botão da calça de Peter e desce o ziper até a metade, sorrindo para ele. Aquele sorriso torna as coisas para ele ainda mais difíceis. Então ela invade a calça dele com a mão e com as pontas dos dedos faz um carinho na virilha, desde a parte de baixo do abdome até onde começam os pelos, recentemente aparados)

L- Então, que tal? Não é uma boa compensação? Você me leva pra jantar e na volta eu deixo você só de cueca e faço uns carinhos e dou uns beijos aqui na sua virilha? (Lisa sorri)

P- Você é fogo né! Você acha que esse luto está difícil pra você, mas não imagina pra mim como está né!

L- Relaxa, Peter. Quero só causar boas sensações em você. Temos um trato. Você me leva pra jantar com esse vestido transparente, e na volta a sua virilha é minha, que tal?

P- Combinado, sua sem-vergonha! Mas agora é melhor você tirar essa mão daí senão a gente nem vai sair pra jantar mais.

(Lisa já estava sentindo mesmo a animação de Peter nas costas da sua mão, enquanto alisava a virilha dele. Era hora de retirar a mão de lá. Lisa foi ao guarda-roupa, pegou o sobretudo, e se dirigiram ao restaurante que, de fato, estava bem vazio, o que deu certa tranquilidade a Peter, de que não seriam vistos por ninguém conhecido. Ao chegarem, o maitre ficou com os casacos, e após um pequeno susto ao contemplar o corpo perfeito de Lisa todo exposto pelo vestido transparente, agiu com a discrição de sempre, como se ela estivesse vestindo uma roupa bem discreta. Sentaram-se a uma mesa em um canto, e tiveram uma noite divertida, bebendo vinho. Lisa conseguiu o que queria, pois era impossível para Peter, ainda que já tivesse visto o corpo nu da amiga incontáveis vezes, não ter os olhos capturados pelos seios expostos pela ousada transparência do vestido. Animada pelo vinho, Lisa provocou Peter..)

L- Agora vou ao banheiro, Peter. Preciso retocar a maquiagem.

P- Eu te conheço. Você não quer retocar a maquiagem. Você quer desfilar assim pelo restaurante, para que todos vejam seus peitos e a sua minúscula calcinha.

L- Não é que você me conhece bem mesmo, querido?

(Lisa então sorriu, deu uma piscadinha para ele, levantou-se e caminhou devagar até o banheiro com a bolsa a tiracolo, sob os olhares de todos os que estavam no restaurante. No banheiro, retocou o batom e, na volta até a mesa, novo desfile. Quem a havia visto de frente, agora a viu de costas, e vice-versa. Chegou à mesa realizada, e se sentou agora ao lado de Peter, e não mais à frente, aconchegando-se no amigo. Terminado o jantar, resolveram ir embora, pois não havia mais nada a ser feito no bistrô)

L- Vamos embora, Peter?

P- Sim, vamos! Na verdade, estou ansioso por chegarmos logo.

L- E eu sei bem porque... Fique tranquilo, porque temos um acordo. Sua virilha será minha!

P- Ai meu Deus.... Lisa...... olha, não me culpe se eu não conseguir controlar tá?

L- Tudo bem, querido. Você estará de cueca, e eu abaixo ela de forma que ele fique bem escondidinho. Não se preocupe pois eu já vi um homem excitado antes. Aliás, vi mais de um. Só quero mesmo sentir o cheiro na sua virilha porque eu adoro!!

P- Ok, você pode sentir o cheiro e o gosto também! Faz parte do nosso acordo.

L- Então vamos logo embora, pois mal vejo a hora.

(Então eles foram embora do restaurante. Ao chegarem na cada de Lisa, foram direto para a cama. Lisa, já sem o vestido, fez Peter se deitar de costas e foi por cima dele. No ouvido do amigo, cochichou.)

L- Sua virilha agora é minha. Deite-se aí e relaxe, porque também vou tomar posse da sua barriga e do seu peito.

(Então Lisa começou pelo peito, depois desceu à barriga e por fim à virilha. Com as mãos, Lisa abaixou a cueca do amigo até onde era possível sem expor o sexo dele, e iniciou uma lenta sequência de beijos e lambidas. Ela podia sentir na mão que segurava a cueca para baixo, que o amigo já estava bem excitado. Esse foi o começo de uma noite a ser lembrada para sempre.)

Será que os amigos conseguiram resistir? Será que Lisa violou seu luto por John?)

Neutralised (1994) [3/?]: My Version of The Shared Universe
