A/N: If you know me irl (you know who you are) do not read this. Thank you for your request and once again, I am so so sorry for how long it has taken me to get to these requests. I am sorry. I’ve just been really really busy, please forgive me. My request will remain closed until I can get these other ones out.

Steven was tired, so so tired. His thighs ached, and his dick throbbed. He was sweaty and his face was red with frustration and embarrassment. He felt both under and overstimulated. His movements never stopped, but his pleasured moans did. He only panted in desperation. He looked like a wreck. His hair was messy and his brows were knitted together. He was supposed to take the reins, but Steven couldn’t even please himself, let alone Y/N. He was pathetically sloppy, losing all the rhythm he had before.

Steven looked down to the restrained man below him. He cringed at Y/N’s smug expression. He whined and stilled himself — almost in defeat. His face was red with embarrassment. He gripped at Y/N’s shoulders, his nails digging into the flesh in frustration.

“Need help?” Y/N asked with an almost- no, a taunting grin.

Steven’s pathetic glare made Y/N chuckle teasingly. “Come on.” Y/N gentured to Steven’s desperate state with his head. . “You’re getting nowhere like this. Let me help you.” He tried to offer.

Steven whined. “You’re more bottom than power when you make noises like that.” Y/N said with a taunting grin and laugh.

Steven tried moving again, only to stop again in defeat. He begins to fist himself in desperation. His frustration grew every second he was deprived of a release. Y/N gripped at the rope around his wrists. “This is sad to watch.” Y/N lied, Y/N loved watching every but of this. Every single bit.

“Shut up.” Steven grumbled. Any snarkiness in his voice was gone, instead he sounded whiny and shaky. He went back to trying to move again, but he was quickly met with the same disappointing fate. Steven whines in frustration. He shoved his red face in his hands as he let out a dramatic sob.

Y/N looked up at his restraints then back to Steven. His eyebrows rose in an offer. He didn’t say anything — he didn’t have to. His face said it all and Steven understood immediately.

Steven hesitates to undo the rope that bound Y/N to the head board. Y/N grins as his hands are free. He rubs his slightly sore wrists. He then leaned up and kissed Steven. He gently flipped both of them — Steven on his back, Y/N hovering over him. Y/N’s hands roam over Steven’s thighed and chest. Y/N was slow at first despite Steven’s whines in protest.

Y/N began moving. A moan escaped Steven’s mouth as his eyes squeezed shut as he finally felt some relief. He was slow at first. The urge to cum came quickly for Steven from all the over-under stimulation. Y/N puts his hand on Steven's cock and begins rubbing his thumb on the tip. Steven bit his lip and moaned.

Y/N sets a fast pace, his thrusts way more coordinated than how Steven was before. Steven's moans and gasps filled the room. His eyes were squeezed shut as if to focus on the pleasure he wasn’t able to get before. He felt his orgasm was approaching way quicker than he had expected.

“I’m close- oh, shit- I’m close.” He moaned out. His arms wrapped around Y/N.

Y/N chuckled. “Oh, yeah?” He said, tauntingly.

Steven groaned and his head shot back into the pillow. He bit his lip and hummed in confrontation. Y/N snickered at the sight. “Come on, Steven.” He said with a grin. He gripped Steven's thighs.

Steven practically sobbed as he came all over himself. Y/N fucks Steven through his high. “Don’t you feel so much better?” He cooed, gently rubbing circles on Steven’s thighs. Steven pants and nods frantically, his eyes still closed.

Y/N continues to move, this time at a slow pace so as to not hurt the man below him too bad. Steven doesn’t stop him despite the pain — instead, he finds a bit of pleasure in it. Y/N slowly picks up his pace again. Steven whined in the slight overstimulation, but it felt too good to stop. Y/N attached himself to Steven's neck, leaving a pretty little mark for the morning.

Steven felt all control leave him when Y/N hit the same spot over and over. His mind hazed over with lust, pleasure and pain. Multiple pleads spill from his mouth. “Please, please, don’t stop.” He begged. “Oh, please.” He babbles out nonsense.

Y/N’s chuckle was cut off by a moan himself. Steven desperately clawed at Y/N back. The mix of pain and pleasure caused Y/N to groan. Y/N leaned down and kissed Steven. Steven was too out of it to really kiss back, but he tried. Y/N chuckled against his lips when he realized he was fucking the poor guy dumb.

“Bet you won’t be trying this again, huh?” He teased.

“Shut up.”

Let's give this show more attention, shall we?

Here's a damn solid amount of all the different kinds of media that I like to think both can definitely fit well in and could legitimately share the same universe as what is in my opinion the best children's horror anthology series of all time and one of the best horror anthologies ever made in general, R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series, which you can both read and see below for yourself right about here:

First off, here's what I mean by including the show, in my mind every episode of the entire series (at least most of them which we'll immediately get to) are all set in the same universe as each other since none of them over-step each other. However, not all of them will be for the fact that they don't fit and they suck hard in terms of quality and I've narrowed it down to five exceptions with the following reasons.....

- Red Eye, because it never lives up to its potential and has a cartoonishly written bad mother who never gets her comeuppance.

- The fucking cheese puff one, because the episode is all around trash and everyone hates this one even the creators/showrunners themselves.

- The G rated Critters rip-off, because like I said it's a shitty Critters rip-off and also has an abusive asshole father who never gets his comeuppance at all somehow.

- Mrs. Worthington, because even though it has a great performance from Margot Kidder, it never lives up to its great premise and again has an asshole mother who never gets her comeuppance.

- The leprechaun one, because it's just plain ass and AGAIN has an asshole adult (in this case, grandfather) that never gets his comeuppance.

Other than those shitty five, every. single. episode. are all set in the same universe. All of them are in the same twisted world — the Lilly D. trilogy, Scary Mary, Flight, Dreamcatcher, Creature Feature, Swarmin' Norman, the Pumpkinhead duology, Long Live Rock and Roll (AKA Doom Metal) and so on, so forth.

Also, I'm making a big deal out of the adult assholes that never get what's coming to them in a HORROR ANTHOLOGY SHOW is because in this universe we're talking about, everything is fair. Doesn't matter how old you are, your gender, your race, if you're a bad person than you end up getting what you deserve.

Second, now for the actual shared universe —

@eemcintyre's top 118 favorite movies in alphabetical order

An admittedly random number that includes objectively "well-made" films with artistic merit, objectively considered-to-be-entertaining movies, and possibly questionable ones that I'm sentimental for or just like for whatever mysterious reason (usually a hot guy but not always). This is just what I like and the premier way to get to know me.

Hi♡ It's been a hot minute, but I have a fresh new stimboard request plucked straight from my newest interest:

Might I have a Moon Knight stimboard centered specifically around the Mr. Knight costume Steven wears in the show? (Jake is my favorite in both the show and the comics, but the Mr. Knight suit is So So So Vibes, they made custom buttons for it in the show and the fabrics are made with embroidered textures it's SO! COOL!! Costume Design Go Brrrr!!!)

*shakes you by the shoulders* (/pos /lh) i don’t think you understand what this stimboard did to me like i mean. the color scheme. WHITE AND GOLD ARE JUST SOOOO GOOD. and the gender envy. RAHHH. idk i’m like. in luv w this stimboard. pov: when a stimboard changes your brain chemistri. yeah. that’z me rn. ANIWAYS YEAH ENJOY :DD /vpos /g

Yep, it's time to send the dads off to war! Any and all fictional fathers welcome!

Submit your favorite father figures through the form I've got all put together up there, and once we have enough, we'll get them set up for the Brawl™!

SUBMISSION RULES:

Fictional dads only, please! "Your Dad (from Real Life)" is already going to be included by default, so you can focus on your blorbos!

"Dad" is felt in the soul- if you can make a compelling enough case for why your non-biological dad blorbo qualifies, I'll let them in!

Submit as many dads as you want, but only submit each dad once per person!

Please provide a link to an image of each dad you submit, especially if you're in a smaller fandom! (Unless your dad is a disembodied voice or otherwise can't be perceived visually, in which case just lmk instead of linking and I'll work something out!)

We'll be going until we reach 64 dads, but if there's enough extra dads, I might be convinced to do a B-side bracket with the dads who don't make the cut.

I may add a dad or two of my own to the lineup, depending on how many submissions I get, but we'll see how that goes.

Creep

— Paring; [Mr. Knight] Steven Grant x male reader. Fandom; Moon Knight/Marvel

Quote; “I want to be someone he wants.”

Disclaimer; A story inspired by the song Creep by Radiohead (Some parts of the song were not used). Not a songfic. Talks of insecurity. Steven having a big fat crush on the reader, like BIG FAT CRUSH. Reader used to be in the military and talks a bit about his time in the military.

Word Count: 2.8k

Masterlist

A/N: I made this random playlist called Even Steven (Don’t try to find it on spotify I don’t use it). It’s basically songs that remind me of Steven, and I was thinking about making the songs into stories. Point is: I’m making this into a series. I took this idea and ran with it so fast. You have no idea how long I’ve been thinking and mapping out this story. I put aside all my requests to write this.

Steven was happy to have his job back. After some coaxing begging, they let him back in. He still worked in the giftshop, but he was alright with that. He was just relieved he had his paying job again.

When he first started, he met an unfamiliar tour guide. After meeting him, Steven found himself staring at the man, even daydreaming of him. He’s been working there for 9 months and his slight obsession has been growing. He was watching Y/N tour a group around the museum.

He began thinking of his first day back.

Y/N was walking backward into the building, and Steven was trying to read the back of Y/N’s jacket. “Lieutenant L/N”, it read. It was a military jacket. While staring at the man’s back, he couldn’t get out of the way in time before Y/N bumped into him.

Y/N immediately turned around, apologizing profoundly. Steven said it was fine and asked him about the jacket. Y/N explained he used to be in the military, but got shot one to many times and was practically forced into retirement. Y/N became a tour guide for the extra money.

Y/N finished off his tour and kind of just stood there. He seemed to not know what to do. Y/N looked around the museum and caught Steven’s gaze. Well, only for a second because Steven panically looked away.

Y/N shrugged and made his way to the gift shop-ist. Steven’s panic grew with every step the man took closer in his direction.

“Hey, Steven.”

Steven pretended to organize some of the front counter stocks, so his previous stalking wouldn't be so obvious. “Hey, Y/N.” He nervously said. He didn’t dare look at the man, too scared that if he didn’t, Y/N’s facial expression would be a bad one.

Y/N leaned his back against the counter and aggressively rubbed his face. “I’ve been so tired lately.” Y/N complained. “Has that ever happened to you?”

Steven nodded. “Yeah. Uh, y’know,” Steven glanced at Y/N, only to be met with a reminder that he couldn’t look the vet in the eyes, “there’s a great coffee shop down the street.” He pointed in the direction it would be.

“Really? You should show it to me.” Y/N said with a teasing laugh.

Steven stammered a bit and laughed nervously. “I don’t know if I’d ever have the time for that, but feel free to go on your own.”

Y/N stopped for a moment, now feeding off of Steven’s awkwardness. “Oh.”

Steven cringed when his back was turned, wanting nothing more than to smack himself in the face. He caught a glimpse of Marc shaking his head in a nearby reflection.

Y/N caught on to Steven’s dismissive behavior and assumed he was making Steven uncomfortable. “You seem a bit frantic. I’m sorry if I’m making you uncomfortable.” He looked off to the doors of the building

Steven finally met the guide’s eyes. He went to speak but was cut off by Y/N, “My next tour is here. I’ll see you around.” Y/N walked off without another word.

Steven shoved his face in his hands, slumping down to the floor in a fit of embarrassment.

“You had a chance.” Marc said.

“I know.” Steven replied sadly in return.

—

The next day was the same. Steven watched Y/N from behind the gift shop counter when Y/N was touring in his line of view. Steven would sometimes get annoyed when people shopped during this time. He also hated getting caught either by you or one of his coworkers.

He couldn’t stop himself though. He noticed that Y/N wears his military jacket every day. Not while he’s working though, he just comes in and leaves with it on. He also noticed that when he recommended that coffee shop, Y/N comes in everyday with a coffee from it. Steven got a peek at the order once, he even slipped the receipt off the cup while Y/N wasn’t looking. He thought about getting Y/N’s drink if Y/N ever needed it.

He started pointing out stuff to himself. Y/N’s tight white button-up, his beige dress slacks, his black dress shoes, his rolled up sleeves, the fancy watch, the tour guide badge around his neck. He kinda looked like a history teacher. He also noticed the lack of a wedding ring. How Y/N walks. How Y/N is able to explain everything, so simply and easily. How everything around the man was just brighter.

Y/N met Steven’s eyes, and for once, Steven didn’t look away. Y/N’s expression didn’t change, so Steven felt as if he was coming off as a creep. Y/N smiled and went back to touring.

“Did you see that?” Marc asked.

Steven looked at his reflection on his dark phone. “See what?”

“He smiled when you turned away.”

“No, he didn’t. Stop teasing me.” Steven grumbled.

“I swear.”

Steven just shook his head and turned his phone face down.

—

Mr. Knight sat on a rooftop. He was supposed to be looking for someone under Khonshu’s order. He wasn’t focusing on the task at hand though. His mind was clouded by a certain H/C haired man.

Today, Steven was bombarded by said man. He saw Y/N running towards him with a girl running behind him. Steven quickly moved out of the way when he saw Y/N preparing to jump. Y/N jumped over the counter like it was a high jump in track. Y/N frantically looked around.

“Steven. Steven! I need a pen!”

Steven patted himself down to feel for any indents in his pockets.

“Steven!”

His movement quickened and he looked around the desks — knocking some stuff over. The girl from earlier was watching the situation unfold.

“Y/N, hurry up!”

“Steven, hurry up!”

Steven found a pen and it fumbled in his hand. When he went to give it to Y/N, it slipped out of his hand. Y/N gladly caught it. Y/N grabbed a sticky note and wrote his number on it.

“Here you go. Oh, and tell your mother I said ‘hey’.” He said with a wink.

The girl rolled her eyes. “I wish you’d stop flirting with my mother.”

“Do you think he likes girls?” Steven asked.

“Yes.” Marc said.

“What about boys?”

Marc sighed. “Yes.”

“What about,” Steven paused for a moment, “me?”

Marc was silent for a second. “Honestly? Yes.”

“Steven.” The hollow eyed god spoke. He was met with no response. “Steven.” He tried again. “Steven, if you don’t get your ass in gear, I’m going to kill you!”

Steven flinched. “Yeah, I’m sorry.”

“Give me Marc.” Khonshu demanded.

“I can do this. I swe-”

“Give me Marc!”

Steven sighed and looked down. “Yeah, alright.”

—

Steven stood in front of his mirror. He was wearing a short-sleeve shirt which he doesn’t usually do. He stared at himself.

“I’m like a creep staring at him from the corner of a party.” Steven grumbled. He started messing with his hair, trying to fix it up the best he could.

“You’d be less creepy if you talked to him.” Marc said.

Steven shook his head. “I look like a bloody knob.”

“Don’t say that.” Marc glared at him through the glass.

“I think I’m too masculine looking, or maybe too-”

“Steven, stop.”

“How the hell would he even notice me? I’m just a weird dork who stocks stuffed hippos for a fuckin’ livin’.” Steven shoved his head in his hands.

Marc stayed silent. Steven sighed and went back to his closet and put on a sweater. He pulled the sleeves away off his arms, making the sweater look even baggier.

“It’s too hot to be wearing sweaters.” Marc said.

Steven just waved him off, and headed for the door.

—

Steven walked around the museum, arms filled with boxes.

“... And, of course, this is a statue representation of Cleopatra.” Steven stopped at the sound of Y/N’s voice. He peeked around the corner, seeing Y/N with a group of kids.

“Fun fact about her: she was the last pharaoh to rule over Egypt, and,” Y/N looked around to see if anyone was looking, “she lived closer to our time than she did of the construction of the pyramids.” Steven snickered, not seeing Y/N had to be so secretive about that.

The kids giggled and he watched one of them lean over to their friend. “He uses big words.”

Steven lent down to their level. “Cleopatra is closer to our time than the building of the pyramids.” He translated.

“Oh!”

“Everyone, this is Steven.” Steven’s head snapped up and he saw everyone staring at him.

“Fun fact about him:,” Y/N spoke, “he knows more about Egyptology than I do, and he works in the gift shop.” He then pointed to the group of kids. “Be sure to hit up the gift shop though.”

Steven stood up and turned around. “Everyone say, ‘bye, Steven’!” Y/N teased. Steven’s face heated up.

“Bye, Steven!” The group yelled.

“Seems like he notices you.”

Steven looked at one of the glass cases, seeing Marc. “That shouldn’t have happened.”

—

Steven lent down and put his head against the gift shop counter. He let out a sigh, wanting nothing more than to go home. He hated this so much.

“You are just hurting yourself at this point. You need to do something about this. Rejection is better than whatever you’re doing to yourself right now.”

Steven lifted his head, looking at Marc through a nearby mirror. “I don’t care. I just want to be able to control this stupid brain of mine. It’s like every thought I have involves him.”

“Who’re you talking to?” Steven looked to the front of the counter. Y/N stood there, leaning over the counter as usual. He was wearing his jacket, so he assumed the vet’s shift had ended.

“I, uh-” Steven stumbled over his words. “Myself.”

Y/N’s face washed over with one of concern and Steven felt the urge to slap himself in the face. “Well, I mean-” Steven’s eyes casted down to Y/N’s hand. There was a scar, but it was covered by colorful markers. Steven stared at it for a moment too long.

“Oh,” Y/N said, hiding his hands in his pockets and standing up straight, “sometimes, when the kids are on their lunch breaks, I let them color over that scar. It’s an ugly one, so why not make it pretty, right?” He awkwardly said.

“That’s sweet.” Steven said.

Y/N nodded his a bit, looking off to the side. “Well, it was good talking to you.” Y/N patted the counter and smiled at the man. “See you tomorrow, yeah?”

Steven rapidly nodded his head. “Mhm.”

—

Steven stood in front of his mirror again. He rubbed his arms.

“What are you doing?”

Steven sighed.

“Not this again.”

“Do you think I’m too slim? I’ve seen him talk to much bigger men than me.” Steven said.

“Steven, we are fine. This little crush has gone too far.”

Steven huffed and walked off. He collapsed onto his couch and hugged up to one of the sofa pillows. Today was Steven’s off day. Y/N and Steven almost have the same work days, they’re just one day off. Y/N works one extra day than him.

“I want to be someone he wants.” Steven turned over and stared at the ceiling.

Marc groaned. “Well, you might be, but you have to try.”

Steven smiled like an idiot. “Do you think he notices when I’m gone?” He looked at the glass cup on the table.

“I think he notices the lack of hawkeyes watching his every move.” Marc teased.

“Oh, shut your trap.” Steven grumbled.

—

“I can’t believe you didn’t get a jacket.” Steven grumbled to himself. He walked into the employee locker room and shivered. Today Marc dressed them.

When Steven entered the room, he saw Y/N picking up his stuff getting ready to leave. “Hey, Steven.”

Steven stopped in his tracks, staring at Y/N’s back. “How’d you know it was me?”

Y/N turned around with a chuckle. “When you’re in a place where anyone can kill you, you tend to pick up on things that might identify a person. I listen for footsteps. I’m able to determine a person by them.”

Steven smiled. “That’s cool. I guess the military gave a lot of habits, huh?”

Y/N shrugged. “Habits that have saved a lot of people, including mine.” He picked up his jacket and folded it over his arm.

Steven shuddered again. “It’s a bit cold today, innit? Especially for the weather we’ve had lately.” Steven started picking up his stuff too.

“Here.” Y/N outstretched his jacket towards the man.

“Hm?” Steven asked, shocked.

“Here, take my jacket.” Y/N’s phone rang and he fished it from his pocket. Y/N answered it. He smiled and pushed the jacket into Steven’s hands. He walked out of the locker room while talking with whoever he was on the phone with.

Steven stared at the jacket in his hand with a huge smile. He then hastily put it on and looked at himself in the mirror. Suddenly the locker room door opened and one of his coworkers walked in.

“Lieutenant L/N’? Thought your last name was Grant.” Steven looked at him and the man only shook his head. “This week has been wack.”

Steven grabbed his stuff and made for the door. While walking past a display, he spoke to Marc, “I got his favorite jacket!” Marc rolled his eyes.

—

Steven mindlessly watched the group of school kids roam through the gift shop. He watched a familiar guide supervise them too. One kid approached the counter with one of the many stuffed hippos.

Steven smiled at the kid and rang up the item. “3.78.” He said.

The kid placed three dollars on the counter and Steven took it. “Do you have another?”

The kid patted himself down, searching for money. Suddenly the kid was sad. “Oh, no.”

Y/N walked up to the two of them. “What’s up?”

“I don’t have enough money for the hippo.” The kid pouted.

Y/N pulled out his wallet. “How much?”

“Just another dollar.”

Y/N nodded his head and put another dollar on the counter. He then gave the stuffed hippo to the kid and he eagerly ran off with it. Steven gave Y/N the change with a smile.

“That was sweet.”

Y/N shook his head then looked at Steven. He then chuckled. “Ya like the jacket?”

Steven looked at his attire and blushed. “Oh! Do you want it back?”

Y/N shook his head. “No, keep it.”

“Is it because I’m wearing it? I can wash it if that's the problem.”

“It's gonna be cold today and I didn’t see you come in with another jacket, so just keep it.” Y/N reassured. He then looked at his watch and went back to the kids.

—

A thought I didn’t add in the story but I thought about too much to leave out:

- Reader had a bunch of scars under his clothes

- And of course you have the one on his hand that usually has writing on it.

- One day it wasn’t drawn on and Steven pointed it out, and the reader asked if he wanted to write his name on it.

“Worst part of the military is the jokes.” Y/N said with a laugh. Steven and Y/N were spending their lunch break together and Steven couldn’t be happier. “One time,” Steven’s eyes casted down to Y/N’s hand. It was abnormally bare, “one of the privates call me over and said-”

“Your scare. Did you not let them draw on it this time?” Steven asked.

Y/N looked down at his hand and shrugged. “Guess not.” He then found a soft tip pen in his pocket and rolled it over to the man. “Wanna write your name?”

“Really?”

Y/N shrugged, “Why not?”

Steven grabbed the vet’s hand and wrote his name in all caps over the scar. It filled up the entire scare.

Y/N observed his work. “It’s like it was meant to be.”

- Reader lets him do it more often and now only Steven writes on it.

i relate to steven grant because i too would nerd as hell if i entered the great pyramid of giza

[mochilainey]

G/t moon knight toughts? :)

YESSSSSSS OMG OMGGGGGG YESSSS OKOKOK sooo heres my analysis on that

Steven/ Mr knight: a shifter! He doesn't like getting big unless hes in a fight or helping someone, and even then he doesn't wanna do it in case he hurts someone. But hes very very gentle and soft when hes a giant!

Marc/ Moon knight: total giant 100% even though hes a shifter to, he just chooses to look big and scary. He may look scary but in all reality he does have a soft spot for smaller people. He can be a bit stiff when holding tinys, but hes really trying.

Layla: shes a tiny/human through and through, she can be scary when shes mad but otherwise shes like the nicest person in the world, she very willing to help giants (marc/steven) whatever way possible and probably intimidate them in the process.

Knonshu: no explanation needed hes a giant.

Jake lockley: serial killer little bitch tiny. He will stab you.

[spectorsjewishboyswag]

The Khonshu Boys; their favourite Jewish Holidays 

Steven Grant; Tu B’av Steven’s favourite is the Jewish Valentines day. Considered the informal high during the three weeks leading to Tisha B’av (a fast day on which numerous disasters in Jewish history took place). Tu B’av is a celebration of being welcomed back into the fold. it was on Tu B’av that the descendants of the spies were allowed into Israel as well as when the tribe of Benjamin after the events of the Concubine of Gibeah. This idea of divine forgiveness, a call home, is what draws Steven to it. As the conciliator  of the system, he finds peace in the minor holiday. A informal reprieve from the bitter days of Av. 

It also suits his hopeless romantic heart, as the modern alternative to Valentine’s Day, it is the day Steven prefers to celebrate with flowers or wearing white. Dance too. He marks it in his calendar in Hebrew, the one sign of tradition in his secular practising life. I imagine he would prefer to spoil his S/O in this day rather than Valentines. It would also be his ideal day to get married- considering its an auspicious day for weddings. 

The final edition is it also the end of the summer solstice in which the nights start to lengthen, for some reason I imagine as night returns more here he marks going back towards Khonshu, who’s realm is the night. There is something about the symbolism of this, especially as it traditionally marked a return to Torah study, that would interest the philosopher in Steven.

If not Tu B’av Steven’s other favourite holiday would be Tu B'Shevat, The New Year of the Trees. A holiday of renewal. 

Marc Spector; Pesach or Passover Marc’s favourite holiday, with bitter irony, is Pesach. The holiday commemorating the liberation of the Jews from Egypt, the years of slavery and the years of being wandering in the desert. The time of Moses and commandments. Yet, it is deeply Marc’s favourite, for multiple reasons.

 Firstly; as a child it was when all the stories were told around the table. We know he preferred to hang out with his father and his disciples learning about the Torah and Jewish history. This holiday it is discussed all infront of him without restraint. As a child he loved searching for the Afikomen and finding it first, proudly showing it off to his parents. He also knew all the words to “Echad Mi Yodea.” a song testing the general knowledge of children on the conclusion of Pesach, a humorous way of relating the tales back to G-d. 

Secondly; it suits his internal moral mission. As established even without Khonshu he still feels a need to carry on a mission, to protect travellers of the night. Speaking in phrases loitered with humour and sadness, it is on this holiday it feels symbolically laid before him. The wandering in the desert, the sins of Moses as well as his virtues. The writings of the laws. Let alone the Seder plate, in which every item has a symbolic meaning. 

The only issue for Marc is Pesach is a time of irony and sadness for him. His people left Egypt and now he serves an Egyptian G-d. It was the holiday, as a kid, he belonged and now he hasn't in such a long time. It is of conflicting emotions, but he would not be the Jew he is, if he couldn't balance both and sit there loving the bitter maror and the sweet charoset.

This is also Mr Knight’s favourite Holiday. Also Marc doesnt mind Hanukah, its secularised and fun but it does not have the same significance for him. 

Jake Lockley; Shabbat Jake’s favourite holiday is surprisingly simple and intimate, it is the weekly Shabbat, from Friday night to Saturday morning. The time in which G-d rests and the world does not move. Resting may not be on Jake’s radar but the other meaning of Shabbat is; family. He does not celebrate it obviously nor with religious traditions but instead subtly honouring his loved ones.  It his here, under his unpolished appearance and gruff temper that is simple, good heart comes out.

On Shabbat, he will go and eat with Gena and Crawley, he insists late at night that Gena puts down the utensils and comes sits and eats, to break from work. He listens to them all talk about their weeks, not saying much but simply nodding contently. Making his found family his own ritual. Yes, he will pick up freshly baked Challah that morning and keep it in a brown paper bag to share with them. However, if any of them make comment about the bread he scoffs and goes “it is just bread.” 

It is also on this night that little kindnesses comes out. He still patrols the streets but if he sees an Orthodox Jew, particularly a woman and her children caught in the rain he will drive them home, pretending to be a Goy so he can take the “sin.” of operating a car on himself. It is Shabbat when he becomes a father or any form of paternal figure, that he will place a hand over their head and murmur the father’s blessing over them. Even if they don’t hear him say it. 

I also imagine Jake, although the more “rule breaking.” to actually be the more devout. Like many gruff, working class Jews. He may not be to the book but he does still see himself as doing good for the community. He leaves donations in boxes, goes after the bullies of Yeshiva students and he subconsciously smiles whenever he sees Shabbat candles in the window as he drives through Manhattan.
