#Whatever you call the simmons ship

[worstqueerbaittournament]

Before you complain about the picture: I asked people to send in better pictures of Grif and Simmons and NOBODY DID

Submission message for Janis: Mean Girls  - Janis + Person who submitted Janis here. Yes, I meant the movie. The whole time it is implied she's a lesbian only for her to end up with a dude lol

Submission message for Grif and Simmons: Hi! I’m submitting Grif and Simmons from Red vs. Blue. I think they’re the worst personally because I’ve spent a third of my life being queerbaited by someone’s fucking halo ocs.

Additional propaganda: Meanwhile Janis from Mean Girls IS queerbaiting:

    She’s presented as a lesbian throughout the film

    She gets very emotionally attached to girls and tries to sabotage them after they ‘betray’ her and become more interested in boys/popularity (Regina in the past, Cady during the film)

    Proudly declares herself a “big lesbo” to half the school during her trust-fall scene

    Wears a suit to Prom and kisses her gay best friend Damien, they both show complete disgust afterwards

    But in the LITERAL LAST SCENE OF THE FILM, she’s shown dating a guy and kissing him.

((I also haven’t seen the musical yet, so I can’t comment there))

Vote Janis, she’s the only right answer.

this ain't enough information about Grif and Simmons; these two are literally the intro character for the entire series. The first conversation they had became a running joke and repeating theme to the point that, years later, it was used in a dramatic moment so Grif could identify Simmons while fight an evil look-alike. When one of them got injured, the other donated various body parts, including skin and organs, and then became a cyborg, thus having the metaphor of "becoming part of each other" and "you have my heart". They still bicker constantly and and trade insults. They've been glued at the hip for more than a decade. The one time they were split up, it was treated like a devastating divorce, with one of them using the line "I quit you". They then both proceeded to have mutual pining and emotional withdrawl from being apart because they're just THAT codependent. They've been forced to share living space, and immediately devolved into having old-married-couple situations. During a planet-wide sex party, they fooled around in a closet, everybody knows this happened, but they refuse to fully acknowledge it. The VA for Grif even plainly stated that "Grif is in love with Simmons". Simmons once mentioned that he and Grif carved their initials into a tree. When we see the "inner worlds" of their minds, Grif's is almost empty except for a tiny Simmons that runs around to annoy him, and Simmons imagines a Grif that has to do whatever he says, but STILL insults him because Grif can't stop being Grif.They had a talk show together and even called themselves their ship-name "Grimmons". They've been having one long conversation for 2 decades. They're slow-burning like a tire fire. They're married, but they'll never properly get together. IT'S BEEN 2 DECADES

Let's not forget Tucker's actually-in-the-show commentary when he's spying on them over the radio of "I've only been listening to them for five minutes but I can tell they're really in love. Why can't they see it?”

It's literally been two decades.

Okay okay okay okay. I will dump a list of thoughts and feelings here:

good god rvb get better jokes, a couple were still pretty good but woof. the "you guys are so predictable i could leave a prerecorded message" bit was incredibly stale and i felt like the zoom call joke went on for 15 years.

red team's interactions in the early part of this while sarge is still there are so rote, man.

yes caboose's voice is different, i was curious about how they were going to handle that. (there was a falling out with the old guy, i mostly just know he said some shit during the george floyd protests but looking it up it sounds like something had happened earlier and he'd been laid off in 2019.)

fascinated that sarge's death stuck, but i've always thought grif and simmons without sarge was interesting, so. why not. i feel like with red team especially here, the whole point is that life moves on? this is very much a "you grow up and move on from the things you loved when you were young" kind of story and sarge is one of the most big goofy cartoon parts of the show, so ending him and having grif and simmons figure out how to move on from him has meaning i guess. the older people who shaped your world inevitably pass out of it. not to give rvb too much credit, but hey.

poor tucker, but i still think maybe having an incredibly angsty unexplored subplot might be better than having to spend 2 seasons having all his character growth dissolved away in favor of absent father jokes and whatever the fuck all that shit was in 16

live commentary on the whole thing with red team acting like they were abandoning caboose and then coming back to help him:

also this:

simmons you poor nerd i'm sorry it took all the way to here to give you anything, wasn't expecting this to be a good season for simmons of all people but at least he got something.

THE REAL CURVEBALL WAS I NEVER EXPECTED THEM TO GET KATHLEEN ZUELCH TO REPRISE TEX EVER AGAIN, i was going to make a crack about how tex getting a better ending would've never been on my bingo card in a billion years but i'm actually not sure this counts because i never cared about chex enough to think about it that hard. raincheck.

tex protecting carolina is nothing but it's also everything.

i'm stupid and missed that doc was dead for a while holy shit that's actually really sad and on the one hand oof, but on the other hand i love really sad things. fuck.

restoration donut only coming back for one last stupid fucking gay joke in an aside vs season 17 centering donut and how he was always such a neglected character. hmm. hmmmmm. hmmmmmmmmm.

it's sad wash wasn't there more, but i really did love "wash throws himself off a cliff to intentionally injure himself and summon carolina instead of contacting her in a more normal way" for him.

and i love that if something bad happens to wash carolina will come down on whatever it is like a hammer from orbit. at the very least, it made me so happy to have it reinforced one last time how much those two mean to one another before the end. after everything i enjoy a moment of them being okay.

overall i do think the group splitting up in pieces feels better to me than them all living together in a big weird codependent cluster forever, it feels like a braver and more true ending, but it's one of those things where season 17 was so much better at thinking about the inner lives of a bunch of characters that it's hard for me to say this is clearly better without reservation in all areas. like, sometimes people matter to you intensely for a big chunk of your life but then you have to move on. and fuck, maybe that's not even forever, but i feel good about grif getting to finally go home and i feel good about grif and simmons saying goodbye to one another and trying to be normal about it. let them have some space from one another. they need space to decide who they are with this part of their lives being over.

nothing they did here can stop me from shipping that and i can very easily fanfic out an ending for them in my brain from this. i'm fine. i'm thriving.

POOR POOR TUCKER, please hug tucker, he has to be going through so much right now.

i wonder if locus, somewhere out there, feels like he dodged a bullet and doesn't know why. (i wish he'd had to deal with red team one last time)

idk i probably have more thoughts kicking around feel free to talk to me i've been so insane about this for so long it's my oldest brainrot-

What do you mean about fate and FS and Moustead?

Hello! Thank you for falling for my lil trap!

There is so much because I'm longwinded, have fun with this I got too excited getting to put this all into words.

I've been against using "fate" as an argument for FitzSimmons, specifically, since... 2017? Yeah, that's when that half of s4 aired. I'll give you a SparkNotes version, for anyone who didn't watch Agents of SHIELD - Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons, who I do love as a ship in the early seasons, I have nothing against the ship specifically, just the "they're fated to be together" argument. They met at the SHIELD academy when they were kids, when Jemma sat next to Fitz in a class and they became... friends? They both thought the other hated them and they were gonna be rivals, while secretly admired each other and how smart they were the whole time. Anyway, now they're married and have a daughter, which is cute as shit, good for them, this is not an anti-FitzSimmons post.

I don't think they're fated to be together.

I use the Framework-created alternate reality to make this point every time. In that reality, Ophelia is the one who sat next to Leopold, and that butterfly effects into them being in a relationship down the line. Ophelia specifically set it up to be that way, I get that, I know that's how the Framework arc worked. My username was HoldenDadcliffe across most social media for 4 years, I know what I'm talking about. But the argument could be made that Fitz would have ended up with anyone who sat next to him in class and engaged with him, whether as a friend or a presumed rival or what have you. That's the only point I want to make. It could have been anyone. In the real world, it was Jemma. In the Framework, it was Ophelia. It could have been Matt, my Bruises Verse OC, it could have been anyone. It was the situation that brought them together, not the universe. That doesn't make the relationship any less important or genuine, it's just a fact.

Anyway, I would argue that Moustead is fated to be in each other's lives, especially if we take the possibilities in Bolivia into account. Not necessarily in a romantic way, because soulmates, or whatever you want to call it, don't have to be romantic. I just think they're meant to exist in the world together, and the universe seems to be encouraging that.

For instance, in Afghanistan, Jay did make friends with Knox first. In canon. They were close, they built explosives together, had to rely on each other to survive, the whole nine yards. They were halfway around the world with only their team to count on and trust. They had to be a family to stay alive. And then Knox did everything he did, and that friendship was obviously completely ruined after that, which meant that one of Jay's most important relationships at the time was just... decimated. He had to find someone who he could actually rely on, someone who wouldn't murder civilians because he wasn't taught to handle his emotions in a healthy way.

Mouse wasn't exactly handling his emotions in a healthy way, either, but at least his poor coping mechanisms didn't have a civilian body count, you know? Like, the only person he hurts is himself? It's fine, he gets better, eventually. But the idea of the universe seeing Jay make a friend, and going "wait, no, not that one, come back here" is just so... *chef's kiss* It's just a coincidence, at that point, but there sure are a lot of coincidences, aren't there?

He gets attached to the one other person from Chicago. The one other person who survived that war zone with him. The one person who kept him sane - who he also kept sane - when they got home and had to navigate civilian life again.

They just work, you know? They balance each other out in so many ways. Jay is absolutely driven by his heart - he wants to help people, he wants to put good into the world and take bad out, he wants to fall in love and have a constant presence in his life. On the other hand, Mouse is driven by his head - he's so smart, and he uses that to learn about computers and the world around him, and he has great ideas. They both rely on those opposites so much that it hurts them. Jay holds onto relationships until they tear him apart. Mouse thinks things through so much that he had to turn to drugs to keep himself from unraveling.

They even go so far as to completely reject those opposites in themselves. If Jay used his head, he'd know to let go of relationships and connections long before they hurt him the way the do. If Mouse used his heart, he'd be less untethered, he'd have more connections to his Chicago life than just Jay. Of course, all of my labels for them are just headcanons, but Jay being aspec and Mouse being arospec adds to this so beautifully.

Even if it is all coincidence, that balance is so important to their relationship. If one goes too far, the other can pull them back, and they really make up one fully functional human being together. They share a braincell, for sure, and Mouse usually has it. Jay certainly didn't have it in s5, that's a fact.

I think, with Jay leaving the show - and rehashing the same speech that Mouse gave him with only slightly different wording - the universe might be pushing them together again? Obviously, canon hasn't mentioned Mouse since s4, and we're never going to know if they're actually serving their country together again, but I can pretend. I can pretend that the person Jay called his best friend is still in his life, somehow.

But especially with how s9 went, and that whole year leading up to Jay leaving for Bolivia...

Even just starting with the Knox episode, 9x03, that had to bring up memories that he hasn't thought about in a while. I'm almost certain that he came across a few pictures of Mouse while he was doing his digging, even if we didn't get to seem them on screen.

After that, I want to bring up 9x09. Lovingly, the rushed marriage episode. (I love Upstead, but their romance arc was rushed and if they, the writers, had taken the time to develop the relationship more, they could have navigated the distance much more easily, or at least put off the actual wedding until Jay made his way through his crisis and they were both in a more stable place, but that's just my opinion and not the point of this post, ignore me) I just think about that episode a lot in a Moustead context because of what made Jay panic and rush into it like that. They had to get the FBI off of Voight and Hailey, obviously, but the steps they took had to be personal to him, at least in the context of his friendship with Mouse. A young, queer-coded drug addict, who was the same age that Mouse was when they met, using him and this weakness (that Jay canonically doesn't judge, he literally gave Mouse drug money in s1) and holding that over his brother as leverage, it's... He saw the lowest point of his best friend's life right in front of his face, something that he couldn't fix before and can't fix now, and Jay...

Jay, who just wants to help people, and put some more good into the world, and fix things because he hasn't had much control in his life and now he's older and stronger and he can do something. He used this intimate knowledge he has of people in that situation for his own personal gain, in a way, and doesn't that make him feel so dirty? But he can't think about it too hard, because he's not the one who uses his head. Mouse is his head, the one who would have actually said out loud how stupid and reckless and horrible that idea was and how they shouldn't do it. Because it was exploiting a literal child, who didn't do anything wrong beyond giving into vices. But Jay... Jay is the heart. He finds someone he cares about and he holds on so tight. And he was already engaged to Hailey, so what's the harm in moving the wedding up?

He'd already lost the person he'd been thinking about for months, and it's not like he could just call and ask Mouse to come back to Chicago, not after how things ended. But he could hold onto the people he loved who were close. He could turn an engagement into a marriage. He could insert himself further into Voight's bullshit. He could cement himself in the team and focus on what he had, not what he missed.

Then there was Adam's undercover thing, and the overdose, and even if November 2011, specifically, is from my headcanons, how many times did Jay worry? How many times did he text or call or pop by to make sure that Mouse was high but not in danger? How much did he check in after Mouse's multiple felonies and other petty crimes and make sure he was okay and alive? How many times did Jay have to worry, over their 10+ year friendship, that he'd lost someone he cares about so much?

And then there's s10, with his exit, and that entire episode doing the exact same thing to me, emotionally. 10x03, my beloved, my ride or die, my defining moment... A veteran is doing his best, getting pulled into crime just to pull himself afloat, getting hurt and getting himself killed through that. Isn't that something Jay has seen before? Just with a less tragic finale? Of course he helped clear up the guy's record, so that his family could still get the benefits, and all of that wasn't done for nothing. And then...

He left. He went back to the army, however loosely, basically quoted Mouse's reasons for why - because how else would he explain it? The logic is sound, of course it is, the head handles the logic. Jay just followed the logic laid out for him six years earlier, when his heart finally caught up with it.

And the idea that they somehow ended up in the same area again? Working together and rekindling their friendship now that they're finally on the same page? What else could that be?

It's fate.

I'm making a new pinned post!

I would like to make this explicitly clear that I am a pro ship, pro fiction, whatever you want to call it, blog. I don't post about it much, but I do ship a lot of problematic stuff as a way of coping with my trauma, which often results in some things that may be triggering or uncomfortable. If you are a proship DNI blog, steer clear, or at least leave me alone. I believe in ship and let ship.

That be the said, let's move on to more important things!

I am a system. I have complex OSDDID and haven't fully sorted out exactly what type, but I know I'm a system at the least. I have many blogs (I'll tag them below) for alters, and one normal RP blog for a side character.

@the-arboreal-system is my main system blog. We will not post any shipping or likewise content here, just stuff about systems and political activism (I am a proud extreme leftist).

@kieran-the-panther is my Maine Coon/black panther mix alter. They go by many pronouns and are catgender pansexual polyamorous.

@shadowdemon-girl is Nyx, a trans girl shadow demon, and engaged to Kieran with 12 demon-kittens. She goes by she/it pronouns and is neptunic and polyamorous as well.

@i-wish-i-was-sleeping-rn is one of my MANY fictives, Nico Di Angelo. He (in the system) is gay and trans.

@crystal-creature is another fictive, Hazel Levesque. She is unlabeled as of now.

@son-of-sally-jackson is a Percy Jackson fictive. He is homo flexible.

@daughter-of-wine is my OC and another alter, Lila Garcia. She is bisexual and a daughter of Dionysus.

@jacqueline-cade-daughter-of-ares is another OC alter, and she is a crossover OC between PJO and The Outsiders.

@angel-wings-and-stim-toys is Celine, a little of mine. She is aroace agender and doesn't care about pronouns.

@motherwolf202 is Freya, a wolf alter.

@the-arboreal-system-requests is my request blog. Please look at it for more information.

@tornadowranglertyler is my Tyler Owens fictives, and @its-boonie-baby is my Boone fictive. They will often interact with each other, as they are very in love in system.

@vivi-the-magic-user is Vivian, another little and a child of Hecate.

@cherokeelovergirl is Shel, Piper's girlfriend in PJO and the only non alter. That's just a random RP blog.

@the-shimuras is a joint blog for Kasaki and Tamiko Shimura, who used to be Shigaraki and Overhaul in their canon source.

@arboreal-godposting is my blog for talking about my religion. I am a polytheistic Wiccan Hellenic, and I'm very proud of it.

@the-best-augur-ever is my Octavian alter. He uses the last name Simmons (because of a fanfic I read, sue me).

@the-mosaic-subsystem : our (so far) only subsystem. System of a fictive: Twice from BNHA

@zira-and-crow-1112 Aziraphale and Crowley fictives blog.

@anti-and-tele are Antinous and Telemachus fictives from EPIC the Musical.

@marauders-fictives-arboreal system's Marauders Era fictives. There's 9 of them :3

Please ask me any questions you have, as long as they're not disrespectful or aggressive. I love answering questions!!

[stoportotouch]

(Feel free to answer publicly) I’m really interested in the terror but I have a couple friends I tend to watch shows with, they have some mixed to positive feelings on horror and creepy/spooky things as well as thrillers and prestige tv and the like (loved breaking bad and BCS) our group has some CWs around rape/roofies

Could you give me like a recommended breakdown/pitch for the show so I can get them involved and make them watch it with me (we are at a weird watch group crossroads where we have like 3-4 shows that we are watching that are only enjoyed by 2 but not all 3 members and need something for when everyone is together)

(first it did take me a moment to figure out that BCS is Better Call Saul and not, as google suggested, the british cardiovascular society, barclays bank, or the british computer society. i really am not a tv watcher other than like. a couple of highly specific shows.)

as far as the two CWs that you mentioned i can't imagine that there's anything that could be a problem. there is, though, a mention of somebody lying about coersion (and we know in canon that he's lying and the whole thing was consensual). there's also uh. the odd reference to drugs (and alcohol). but that's more because it's the 19th century, and if you went to the doctor and said "got a bit of a tummy ache, doc" he would reply "may i offer you some nice cocaine in this trying time?"

in any case! the terror is an adaptation of dan simmons' novel of the same name, which is a supernatural-ish horror story about the ultimate fates of sir john franklin's lost expedition to find the northwestern passages. (supernatural-ish in that while there are supernatural elements... there isn't much that's supernatural about the depths of human despar.)

it follows primarily not sir john franklin but captain francis crozier, the second-in-command of the expedition (and captain of erebus' sister ship hms terror). but it does also have a massive cast of men who i swear you will be able to tell apart eventually. on your first watch you will be saying "which of the three guys with prominent sideburns is this?" and getting it right... actually pretty often. subsequently, however, you will be going "THERE HE IS. THERE'S LIEUTENANT HODGSON." and pointing to a blur in the background. (i did literally do this yesterday watching the third episode.)

also i genuinely think the terror is like. one of the best written shows i've ever seen. partly because it has The Gumption to essentially start the show with "ready to find out how all the people you're about to meet are going to Fucking Die?", partly because of how much rewatch value it has. even knowing all The Twists and basically being able to quite vast chunks of the show, there's always something new.

also the writers and actors have. what i can only describe as a remarkable ability to take somebody who is not on paper particularly sympathetic but really make you understand them. like there is probably at least one character who you will initially look at and say "...eurgh. don't like that." but either come to Sympathise With or just want to take out of the show and let him sleep for about sixteen hours in a very comfortable bed.

and to be a bit pretentious for a second, which is only fair in a show like the terror, i think one of my favourite things about it is the synergy between setting and story/storytelling. on a naval ship most spaces have multiple purposes and there's nothing on board that isn't there for a reason. so even if a scene or a shot or a character (or a line -- i had a sudden moment of "billy? BILLY????" during my most recent rewatch of the first episode) doesn't seem to be there for a purpose... you'll see! maybe not for a couple of episodes but you'll see.

also pretty much all of the relationships between the characters are very much more complicated than "just friends" or "hate each other" or "lovers" or "captain and lieutenant" (or whatever). it's very interesting to watch and essentially keep track of "they're this but also this" or a slightly more straightforward "he literally just needs him and he will fall apart if they're separated". (then they get separated. this is two separate relationships that i'm thinking of.)

finally, if you like men... there's men. since we're in the royal navy in the 19th century there very much are men in this show. great numbers of them! at times the 19th-century-accurate facial hair Looks are a bit much (especially when there's one guy who conspicuously just has a completely normal 21st century beard), but if you can look past that there's truly something for everybody in amc's the terror.

actually finally, because i just thought of it: warning for gore and violence and... i can't quite explain it better than just "really, really overwhelming bleakness". (including some fairly understandable but still disturbing and quite difficult to watch responses to violence.) there are a couple of scenes that it might be better to spoil in advance to give yourself a pep talk before. (you will get warning for it -- there aren't any jumpscares but the waiting almost makes it worse.)

Some are open to all muses and fandoms, some aren't, so you should check the wanted interactions to avoid awkwardness later! After we become mutuals I'll wait so you can read my pages, then try to interact ooc and then ic. If you don't respond to either or if you drop all threads right away and don't make attempts to start anything new, I'll block. I'm here to write, not have a high number of silent followers.

Shitty Blog Intro

[text reads: “Shitty Blog Intro” text ends.]

Hallo this is Timothy Simmons Rey and i will be creating this SHITTY AND LOW EFFORT introduction for our, uh, system?? I dunno, i dont really give a fuck. (/neutral) We have no collective pronouns/terms because half of us are the other half’s opposite gender and it’s sort of infuriating to try and decide what we all want to be called. Just ask for our fronter’s/s’ pronouns. Please? We use alters, parts, and headmates collectively—however, some are more into just saying parts.

Also if you have “18 & older” or “MDNI” in your bio/intro, please block us. We are bodily a minor and a vast majority of us are too. We don’t want to break your DNI because one of the adults in our system had followed you or we didn’t read your blog’s DNI.

>8< (cool little spider)

SMALL DISCLAIMER: Just because most or some or maybe even just one of us have an odd/differing opinion doesn’t mean we all have the same exact thought. We disagree and argue as much as every other System.

Our DNIs (even though we literally cant do shit about it in two whole different ways):

Most of our humans are uncomfortable interacting with proshippers, which includes two of our hosts. Our trolls don’t mind interacting with them while our (currently singular) pony does mind if they interact. You might wanna ask whoever’s fronting if they’re okay with you talking to them since our stances are very diverse. The last statement applies to every single discourse on tumblr actually. Whatever you are, you might wanna ask if we’re okay with it, whether it be radqueer, endogenic, whatever. We’ll usually say we arent okay with talking with you but there are occasional okay’s depending on the alter.

Since a lot of us are minors from universes where our adults weren’t the best, we won’t be directly talking (DMs, private group-chats, etc) to to people at and over 18. Our adult alters don’t mind interacting as long as you aren’t asking for anything suggestive or romantic (half of them are either happily taken and happily single).

On the topic of relationships: don’t be weird to us about what character you ship with our source. No, Dave doesn’t romantically like Karkat, Rose doesn’t romantically like Virgo (Maryam), Dirk doesn’t romantically like Jake, etc etc etc. Of course there are exceptions but those are rare (an eighth of our Parts are “popular” or at least “well known ships”). Don’t go poking us with your elbow saying “[Alter] is cute, arent they? winky face ;D” because it’s really uncomfortable to hear for literally everyone.

Our alters/parts have certain source characters that they are uncomfortable with (that also overlap into our system). Those of them that were directly stated are Beta Bro Strider, Alpha Bro Strider, possibly Vriska’s lusus, most definitely Dreamwastaken and Wilbursoot, and probably a bunch of more adult character sources. However, this isn’t the case for all and there are exceptions (such as our Beta Bro who never had Dave), you will just need to ask the alter personally.

We will block you if you concern more than half of the system or our protectors and gatekeeper.

[text reads: “We will block you if you concern more than half of the system or our protectors and gatekeeper.” text ends.]

On to our system info: (At this point, Timothy S. R had already Switched places with me, LZ. I am now in Front.)

Hello, travellers, most likely from the Homestuck fandom.. We are an untitled, (fictionally) Introject-heavy System under the handle “strilonder”, which you may use as a collective name for us! :3

Our Alter/Part count is currently unknown; 16 discovered and whispers of 40+ existing. (We have literally no idea.) That is an older statement. We are now nearing 50 Members. Fuck our life. As we stated beforehand—bodily, we are a minor. If you didn’t catch it before, the many Parts in our system that relate to the Body’s age group would not like to directly contact (via DMs, private group-chats, etc) with adults, so please ask us if any Middles/Littles are Fronting before conversing (this is for the others’ comfort and safety <3).

Since we are leaning low tolerant when Splitting/Forming new Parts and we currently have a massive hyperfixation, we have a lot of Homestuck Introjects. We have one DSMP/MCYT Introject (the aforementioned Timothy who goes by he/they/dee/dem/red pronouns) and one MLP:FiM Introject (Applejack, who goes by she/they/he pronouns). Please excuse us if we have no translations for any typing quirks, we forget a lot and people who don’t really care. x(

Unfortunately, when I (LZ) had first tried using tags for the System to use, it didn’t work at all due to people forgetting to tag or forgetting the tag/s even existed and it doesn’t help that all(?) of us have shit memory so we are gonna just stick to sign-offs/proxies or names in the tags to keep track of who posted what.

Hosts: (They will change over time.)

LZ (proxy -LZ), any & all pronouns : The Core of the System. (Despite how problematic the coined term “Core” is, we have all collectively agreed it doesn’t affect us. This is a personal term to differentiate the other hosts from the human child they had split from, primarily because the Core has most of the memories + experienced them. Of course, we will take offense to it if it’s used offensively/incorrectly.)

Karkat Vantas (proxy -CARCINOGENETICIST or -CG), he/him : The Gatekeeper of the System. He has been keeping track of the other Alters’ activity and roles.

Dirk Strider (proxy (🧢)), he/him : The second Part to Form/reveal himself and made it clear he was Formed to protect the System. Has been fronting ever since he went dormant.

Past Hosts:

None.

Cut to Church looking at Sheila through the sniper rifle as she aims directly at him

Church: Uhhh, yeah... I don't feel as good about my plan as I used to.

Grif: Hey Blues!

Church: Aw crap, here we go. They must have figured out how fucked up our team is right now. Oh shit, they even brought their new guy t-

Tucker: Girl.

Church: What ever! Just play along. Act like our team is okay, and we have everything under control.

Tucker: Please, I been puttin' on that act for like three years now.

Church: What do you want, Red?

Grif: I got a prisoner for you!

Church: What'd he say?

Tucker: He says he has a prisoner for us.

Church: Oh what, they're giving us prisoners now? Dude, that sounds like bullshit, I smell a trap.

Tucker: Reds aren't that smart.

Church: Okay normally I would agree with that. But this is the orange one, he's pretty crafty. He's a lot like me.

Tucker: Like you? Shit. Then do I have time to put in my ear plugs and hide all our food?

Church: Up yours, dickhead. Why would they wanna give us one o' their guys?

Tucker: Why're you asking me?

Church: Oh right. Why're you giving us one o' your guys as a prisoner?

Grif: She's one of your guys! She came to our side by mistake! What's their deal, why aren't they going for this? We have to hurry. I gotta get back before Simmons digs up Sarge.

Church: I don't buy this. Whadda you want for her?

Grif: Uhm, nothing. It w- it was an honest mistake, uh you can have her back now, no harm, no foul. Well, look can we hurry this up?

Church: Yeah, this is bullshit.

Tucker: Ask for something else.

Church: Uh, we want something else.

Grif: What? I'm releasing a hostage! You don't negotiate up from there!

Tucker: Got any money?

Grif: Fuck you dude! Get going, call me if you have any problems, and don't go near any Reds from now on. I'll try to keep our team distracted so they can't attack you. Whatever you do, don't embarrass the family. Think of mom.

Grif's Sister: Don't do me any favours, bitch.

Church: What else was on the ship?

Grif: What do you mean!?

Church: Yeah like guns, or weapons...

Tucker: Or snacks! Dude, I'm just asking 'cause I know you wanted to.

Grif: Nope, just the girl. Sorry, there weren't any more aliens for you guys to fuck!

Tucker: That's okay, we can still fuck this one!

Grif's Sister: Woohoo!

Grif: God dammit! Never mind, just send her back!

Church: No takebacks!

Grif: Aw, what the fuck!?

(Ah, one of my favorite things; Grif and Simmons cuddling~)

"Are you really gonna keep doing all that nerd stuff until you pass out?" Grif asked. Simmons didn't respond. He just kept clicking away, doing whatever kind of calculations he'd been busy with for the last 4 hours. "Simmons? SIMMONS!"

"I'm... almost... done..." finally came the lagging reply.

"No, you aren't, but you need to stop. C'mon, I bet if it was Wash or Carolina trying to stay awake and work like this, you'd come up with some statistic about how sleep loss causes you to forget the order of the Alphabet, and something-something circadian rhythm, REM brain activity, something-something. Time to rest," Grif tried to coax Simmons over, away from the glowing screen, to where he had settled in the corner.

This transport ship really wasn't meant for long voyages, and thus didn't have established places for passengers to sleep, so everybody was just making their own little "nests". Simmons was practically living in this room, with the console for navigation and various archives of charts, which meant Grif was going to be here too. That was just how it works.

"If YOU want to sleep, go ahead..." Simmons mumbled.

"That's where you're wrong, Simmons. You've totally ruined that for me. I used to be able to just pass out on a dime-"

"Pfff, BS, you still can. I've seen you willfully go unconscious. Like you've got a light-switch in your brain. It might even be a mutant power. You could be an X-Man, Grif..." Simmons snorted, and his blank expression finally broke to show a sleepy smirk.

"OK, maybe when I don't wanna deal with some stupid little boring chore, sure, I can just drop for a nap. But when it comes to real, genuine, relaxing sleep? Man, that's been spoiled. I need CUDDLES. I need some dang AFFECTION," Grif started to get a little bit theatrical, like he's been so very neglected. "Are you really going to leave me over here, all by my lonesome, cold and unloved?"

At last, Simmons turned his face away from the console, and looked at Grif; he was giving Simmons the most hammed-up, over the top pathetic face possible. Simmons broke into laughter, slid down from his chair to the floor, and crawled over to Grif. Victory!

"And you call ME manipulative," Simmons said, curving himself around Grif, almost immediately feeling cozy and comfortable.

"Ah, but I use my powers for GOOD!" Grif told him. It really WAS Simmons' fault, too; Grif used to be better at being aloof, not expecting much in terms of tender treatment, and very little practice when it came to sharing that with others... then Simmons went and loved him enough to make his pessimism and indifference melt.

"See, you ARE an X-Man..."

"And you're a nerd," Grif ran a hand fondly over Simmons' forehead, pushing back some stray hairs.

"Yes. We've established that," Simmons yawned, and snuggled closer. "I love you, Grif..."

"Love you, too..." Grif lifts Simmons up, just slightly, pressing his mouth to the little spot in the middle of Simmons' eyebrows. For a moment, the clean chemical smell of the ship is drowned out by the familiar smell of the shampoo Simmons likes to use... the last time he showered was when they'd been on Earth, before getting another big Call To Adventure that they just HAD to answer because their lives were stupid and crazy like that.

The day before the happy little bubble burst, Girf and Simmons had gone out on a casual date, having lunch at a place that made really good sandwiches, getting smoothies afterwards, finally visiting a bookshop that also sold games and collectables. Simmons found a chess set he really liked, it had an ancient Greek theme, all the pieces were carved into different shapes of pillars/statues/vases, and painted so they looked old. They bought it and took it home, planning on showing it to the others the next day, Simmons eager to show off all his strategies. They both took a shower together that evening, had dinner, and- before getting the chance to go to bed, suddenly there was another crisis, and it just had to be their problem. So off they went, into the armor again, into space again, and now they were here.

Ha-ha, "why are we here", over and over.

Oh, well. Grif can deal with being here, and doing what they need to do.

Right now, he's got the familiar weight of Simmons resting against him, he feels Simmons nuzzle into his shoulder, and he smells "home" in Simmons' hair, and moments like this are when Grif is most satisfied being this big, because it means he can hold as much of Simmons as possible, it makes him feel solid, strong, and soft all at once, and when their chests press together, Grif feels the thud of his donated heart beat against the humming rhythm of the cyborg prosthetic inside of Simmons' chest, and that' all pretty good. It's a pretty good reason to be here.

Death Battle: Lister & Rimmer vs Grif & Simmons

The following is a fan-written fight between Dave Lister and Arnold J Rimmer from the British Sci-Fi comedy “Red Dwarf”, and Dexter Grif and Dick Simmons from the Rooster Teeth sci-fi comedy, “Red vs Blue”.

This is in no way official, nor affiliated with the Rooster Teeth series “Death Battle”, and has no tied to either the BBC, Grant-Naylor Productions, or Rooster Teeth.

This is fan-work, though and through.

Contains: Death, Minor swearing, violence, and Arnold Rimmer.

Lister and Rimmer are standing in the observation deck, mindlessly staring out into space. "Lister..." "yeah?" "You ever wonder why we're here?" "I wonder that every day, why are we here? Is there some kind of cosmic coincidence that I am the last human in the universe? Or was it all some massive plan?" Rimmer was silent. "What the smeg are you babbling about? I meant why are we here, on the Observation Deck?" "Oh, right. Well, we picked up odd activity on the scanners, so Kryten thought it would be a good idea to see if we can spot the ship from here." "With our eyes? Instead of the thousands of high powered computers we can use to detect these things?" "Let's just keep watch." The two returned to silently staring out at space, until a massive crash was heard. "We have been staring at the wrong side, haven't we?" Rimmer asked.

*Cut to a different part of the ship, where two armour clad soldiers have crashed their ship.* "Grif, that was one of the worst landings I've ever been in, of all time!" "Hey, if you wanted a smoother landing, you could have done, I dunno, fucking anything!" "You were the pilot, I was merely the navigator." "Well why don't you navigate one of your bullets somewhere it can do the most damage." "With pleasure!' Simmons took aim at Grif, 'I'm sorry, you want me to shoot you, right? "Eat a dick, Simmons."

Grif and Simmons look around. Noticing a couple familiar things as they did.

"Hey, why does this ship have a Warthog?" Grif asked. "From all my research, this a mining ship, meaning they have a lot of mining equipment." "And we're here to do... what exactly?" "Dumbass, we're here to get supplies."

"I wouldn't if I were you!" Rimmer's voice called out. Grif and Simons turn around to find Lister and Rimmer, Lister holding a bazookoid towards the sim-troopers. "Get back in your ship, and leave... now!"

Grif and Simmons looked at each other, then raised their guns.

"Lister, what was the plan if they raised their weapons again?" "Uh... Run."

The two began to leg it while Grif and Simmons began to open fire. Lister and Rimmer take shelter behind a massive crate. Grif and Simmons keep shooting at it. "What the smeg are you doing?" Lister asked to Rimmer. "I'm hiding, you?" "Why are you hiding?" "Same reason you're hiding Lister, they have automatic machine guns pointed directly at us!" "I'm not the one that's a hard light hologram, Rimmer!" "I'm not taking any chances!" "Well at least grab a bazookoid, or the matter destabilizer."

Rimmer pulled the matter destabilizer gun from the top of the metal crate, and had an idea of what to do with it. Lister meanwhile, poked the bazookoid from beside the crate, and fire directly at Grif and Simmons. The two jumped as the bazookoid blast hit the ground near them.

"They've ceased fire, let's leg it!" Lister shouted. "Where to?" "Find Cat and Kryten, and they'll get us out of this jam!" The two were stopped by the sound of a warthog revving up. Grif was driving, with Simmons manning the turret. Lister and Rimmer ran in opposite directions, Grif began to chase down Rimmer. Who managed to climb over some crates as Grif drove passed him.

"Grif! Why did you chase down the guy without a weapon?" "I dunno, he just really annoys me." "Whatever. Now, where is that slobby dumbass?"

Rimmer managed to find Lister, behind some large crates of curry powder. "Set the bazookoid to heat seeker." "Why?" "Because, that blast will follow the vehicle and give us time to escape and find Kryten." "Good thinking, man!"

Lister set the bazookoid to heat seeker, and when Grif drove near them in the Warthog, Lister took aim and fired. The bazookoid blast began to follow the warthog closely.

"Grif, we're being followed by a heat seeking plasma shot!" "Heat seeking? Isn't this a mining ship? Why does it have equipment that can heat seek?" "Finding heat emitting material, hitting a repeat target, I dunno, just drive numb-nuts!" "We aren't going to outrun it forever, can't you just shoot it?" Simmons got to firing at the heat seeking bazookoid blasts, with no luck, but he then pulled out a rocket launcher and fired a blast, which collided with the plasma ball and exploded. Grif then pulled over closer to Rimmer and Lister, Simmons moved up to Shotgun to get a direct hit with the rocket launcher. "Oh smeg!' Lister shouted 'Rimmer, grab a bazookoid!" "On it!" Rimmer grabbed a near-by bazookoid, setting it to heat seeker. Simmons fired a rocket, but Lister blasted it away with a bazookoid blast, then both Lister and Rimmer fired a blast at Grif and Simmons.

Grif managed to steer into a tight spot, so he and Simmons ditched the vehicle, which blew up as the bazookoid blasts hit it. Grif and Simmons were caught by the blast and tossed into the open hall. Grif stood up and helped Simmons to his feet. "Aww man,' he moaned, 'there goes the Warthog."

"Warthog?' Rimmer's voiced piped up, "Why do you call it a Warthog?" "Uhh, because it looks like a Warthog." Simmons responded, like a dick. "Really? I thought it looked more like a giant cat." Lister replied. "Like a Puma?" Grif asked. "Actually yeah."

After this somewhat friendly exchange, Grif, Simmons and Lister all pointed their guns at each other. Rimmer dropped his bazookoid and raised his hands.

"Now, I know tensions here are high,' Rimmer began, 'but I think what we all need to remember is-" Before saying another word, Rimmer used the Matter Destabilizer and shot it at the floor beneath Grif and Simmons' feet, causing the two to fall to the floor below. "Quick, let's get out of here."

"Hang on, what floor is directly below this one?"

Within less than a minute, the self-destruct alarm was sounding. "Warning, this ship will self-destruct in two minutes."

"Oh smeg..." the two said in unision.

*Cut to Simmons hacking at a terminal on the Red Dwarf, and Grif leaning onto a different Terminal.*

"Okay, now we just need to get back up and get out of here." "Yeah, about that, what floor are we on?" "We're just below the floor we landed on, so we just need to find an elevator or something, and get out of here."

As Grif and Simmons exit the terminal room, they do happen to find an elevator, just one that opens with Lister and Rimmer already inside it.

"What, but this ship is about to blow up, why aren't you two evacuating?" "Because' Rimmer began, 'We know something you don't know. This ship doesn't have a bomb." "What!?" "That just seems like poor design choices." Grif offhandedly remarked.

Lister cocked his bazookoid, Grif and Simmons stepped back as he fired a bazookoid shot, which hit the wall behind Grif and Simmons, causing them to fall forward and Simmons fired his gun as a reaction, managing to hit Lister in a couple areas, and causing him to collapse.

"Lister!" Rimmer shouted. He then picked up the bazookoid and dragged lister back into the elevator and shot off. Grif and Simmons ran up the stairs.

Grif and Simmons reach the storage floor and find a trail of blood on the ground, following them to a room full of wooden crates. "Simmons, I've got a bad feeling about this, is it just me?" "No, Grif, it's these boxes that say 'Explosives' on them." "Ah."

"Smile you Smeggers!" Before they could really react, Rimmer fired a bazookoid shot at Grif and Simmons, they got out of the way, but it hit the explosives crate, causing the entire room to explode. Grif and Simmons lay dead inside, and Rimmer collapsed, right next to Lister, who was being tended to by Kryten.

"Don't worry Mr. Lister sir, I'll have you patched up in no time."

Not the ideal first date

Luke Alvez x reader

Requested? Yes/no

Word count: 914

Warnings: light mentions of a knife, rest is fluff ;D

Matt Simmons try’s to play Cupid by tricking you and Luke into babysitting his kids together. Call it a win-win situation

You could hear the commotion coming from the other side of the door. Matt scurrying to get his things and Kristy yelling for the kids to behave before she appeared in the doorway. She wore a navy dress that complimented her ginger hair. It was a miracle that she got this far without a stain.

“Y/n, hey! - she said with a gracious smile - I can’t thank you enough for watching the kids. Matt and I have been pushing date night back for the longest time.” The women said looking over her shoulder, Matt now only a few feet behind her.

You could hear him mumble something, but his words were just out of earshot. Whatever he had said made the children erupt in giggles. The tall man swiftly got up from his crouched position, not before he ruffled David’s hair. The small boy quickly patted it back down.

The couple thanked you once more before heading out the door.

“Alright! Last time I promised you four we would paint, so guess what I brought!”. You pulled four 5x7 canvases out of your bag, which also had paint and brushes messily thrown in the mix. Their eyes lit up with joy, the two youngest, Lily and Chloe, clapping in victory. You sat them around the dining room table, paper tablecloth coving in case anyone spilled anything. You’d have to intervene a few times when one would attempt to consume the non-toxic liquid.

Around 20 minutes had passed when there was a knock on the door. It caught everyone’s attention. It had only been 8:00 o’clock, Matt and Kristy weren’t meant to be home until 9:30. Being in the fbi had given you many useful skills, but it also made you extremely cautious in certain situations. Especially when children were present. You shushed the 4 wide-eyed youngsters. Careful not to make any loud noises as you snuck into the kitchen, grabbing a steak knife from one of the drawers. There was another knock, but it was more of a banging this time. Your heart raced as you made your way to the door, knuckles turning white from the grip on the knife handle. You’d be damned if they thought they could get in this house without a fight.

The knife had been brought up to the man’s, now shocked, face as you opened the door. Your brain scrambling to process who was infront of you.

“Luke?!”

The name rang throughout the house. Causing the children to come running with Jake in the lead. He laughed as he watched your face turn from frightened, to surprised, and then confusion. The makeshift weapon was now lowered at your side, kids shuffling past you to hug the brown eyed man. Urging him to come to the dining room to show off the paintings. Your heart rate soon returned to normal, and the fight response died down.

“Did I scare you?” He chuckled. “Yeah, I thought I was the one watching these balls of energy. I assumed you were an intruder! What was I meant to do?! Let you in unarmed??” It was a rhetorical question. But for some reason your statement puzzled him. “Wait I thought I was the one babysitting… - his lips grew into a smirk when it hit him - Matt set us up.”

It was no secret Simmons shipped you two- hell the whole team did! Alvez’s flirty remarks and gestures would help either. It was a running joke that you two bickered like an old married couple. But no one actually expected someone to do something to push it. This was Matt’s attempt at playing Cupid; and so far his attempt almost got Luke killed and you charged with murder.

The rest of the job went smoothly. The little ones were successfully put to bed near the end of the night. Leaving you and Luke crashing down onto the couch with a sigh. “Tonight went well, besides you know- the whole knife to my throat thing”. You giggled, “yeah sorry about that. Maybe make your presence known next time.” You said looking over to him. Noticing features you usually paid no mind to. Like how his eyes would crinkle when he smiled, indicating that it was real. How soft his lips appeared to be.

“Like what you see?” He remarked in his usual flirtatious tone. A red pigment tainted your cheeks. It was painfully obvious that you had some sort of attraction to him. He would take note of that too. God you hate profilers, even though you were one.

“Oh give me a break Alvez”

The Hispanic continued to watch your movements and expressions until Kristy and Matt arrived. Trying to decide if he should ask you out or not. Thankfully confidence overtook doubt.

“Y/n wait up, I gotta question.” The man jogged over to you, resting his hand on the door of your car. “I was wondering if you’d let me take you out sometime? And I know it’s probably weird to ask you in our friends driveway but-” his body cut him off when you cupped his cheeks with both of your hands. Instantly melting into your touch. “Yes, Luke Alvez. I’d love that.” A smile washed over the two of you. Luke letting out a breath he didn’t know he was holding onto.

“Really?! Uh- cool. - he was giddy with anticipation - because this, this was not the ideal first date”

“I agree, but I’m still glad it happened”

Thoughts on Criminal Minds Evolution:

I'm still really sad Krystall is dead as I adored her in the show, but I knew it was coming the moment they said what Rossi's current state was gonna be in the show. That said, Rossi being so comfortable swearing is my new favorite thing. "I'm not naming this jagoff. Fuckhead! Okay? Call him that." had me absolutely cackling.

I had a feeling they were gonna reveal one of the characters was queer this season, but I will admit I was hoping it was going to be Prentiss as her character was originally written to be a lesbian and then it got cut. But I'll be happy with bi!Tara. As long as we get some more interaction with her and her girlfriend. Right now we've just gotten affectionate looks between the two. I would like something actually shown of them in a relationship.

And speaking of showing a relationship, let me get to the Luke/Garcia. Unlike a lot of the fandom, I never shipped Garcia/Morgan. I loved their relationship so much exactly as it was. Two friends that adore each other and flirt for fun. I flirt with all my friends, to the point a lot of my friends' wives and husbands have told me they were jealous of my relationship with their partner when they had first started dating. So I never shipped Garcia/Morgan because I never felt like it was missing anything. They were perfect as they were. I did not have that feeling with Luke/Garcia. Garcia's hostility and defensiveness around Luke made a lot of sense with how she's handling the change of losing Derek in the party. And Luke is intrigued and enchanted by her, like, his first episode. Which, Luke, same. Their banter doesn't have the "babe, I adore you" comfort that her and Derek have, it has almost this defensive "what if?" element. I squealed so loudly when he asked her out in the finale. My shipper heart was sad that was all we were gonna get, but I still had my Captain Holt "VINDICATIOOOOON" moment. But now we're gonna get more. And we BETTER get more. I hope we find out that the reason they only had one date was because of the pandemic and starting a new relationship when the world is going into isolation is damn impossible. And not because it was awkward dating and they didn't click that way. But I remain positive as Kristen Vangsness has said in interviews the two of them filmed a lot of scenes together. The cheek kiss was a good start, now gimme mooooore.

Lastly, just me being nickpicky, I understand the behind the scenes reason for "I can't discuss Reid and Simmons' assignment" but, like, what about Matt's family? Is he still in contact with them? Is Kristy handling all five kids by herself while he's on whatever secret mission they have him on? Your solution for not having the actors has consequences in universe writers!

[deadly-espresso]

Not to sound cruel, but I do have some criticisms regarding this post.

TW from this point onwards due to discussions of ephebophilia and necrophilia:

-The claim about being fictiosexual being "invalid" sounds very weird because there's a good chance you or someone else you know has experienced sexual feelings regarding a fictional character. It's a mundane, valid feeling (though that's not to say it can't go to weird extremes). So, calling it "invalid" doesn't make that much sense.

-The whole thing regarding people thinking Vevfe shipping herself with a grown-up version of Christopher Pierre being ephebophilic is more nuanced than you think about it. While the only concrete claim about Christopher's age by GHOST is that he is 17, his age does get more vague when you consider his lore, with one of the few other things known about him is that he had died and become undead in some way, and by the present time in his story, someone he knew in life had reincarnated. So, that means at least 1 generation had gone (about 20-30 years given how long it takes for a human to grow to maturity and reproduce) before the present events of the story. So, it is likely that Christopher is at least chronologically older than 17. But, whatever, if you're only sticking with biological age, an important thing to note about this situation is that Vefve is not simply shipping herself with Christopher, but shipping herself with an alternate version of him who is 24 years old. If Vefve was just shipping herself with Christopher's canon depiction, then yeah, it'd be easy to argue that the ship is ephebophilic, but the point here is that she isn't shipping herself with the canon depiction, but rather an AU depiction who is a grown-up like she is, therefore the ship isn't truly ephebophilic if you know the context. However, I'm not completely discrediting criticisms regarding the shipping given that Christopher isn't exactly the nicest guy even in her AU, and also plenty of people may not know the context that her depiction of Christopher is quite different to how he is in canon, even if his design is largely unchanged from his canon counterpart.

-And about the whole necrophilia thing? I can agree that making out with dead bodies isn't a pleasant idea, but people are free to explore whatever concepts they like in fiction, no matter how grotesque it may be. Also, unlike the above situation, the fic wasn't about Vefee and Christopher, but rather it was between Christopher and Kenneth Simmons, another ship of hers. While I can agree that the ship can feel shallow at times and I don't think the two would actually get along that well, it's unlikely either of those characters are meant to be a stand-in for Vefee within that story.

-However, there is at least one part of the above post I can agree with; just because some people have done worse than you doesn't excuse you from the effects of your own actions. Vefve has made some grotesque and questionable content, and she knows it. If she wants to be transparent about that and not hide it, that's fine by me; it's usually better than trying to hide it. Though, about the frequent blocking and the "you can't hate me on something I made 4 years ago", I do have some mixed thoughts regarding that. For one, Vefve is a person who has attracted some people who outright like to hate on her rather than simply criticizing her actions, and those people can be especially annoying to deal with due to their apathy and unlikeliness to take more sympathetic perspectives regarding those they hate upon. However, frequent blocking does have the downside of those thinking they can just shut down all criticism by silencing those who make it. I would rather not recommend doing that as it makes it more likely they will say damning things behind your back and leave you less likely to discover their criticisms regarding you so that you can hold discussions regarding them. And second, sometimes people will genuinely not just let something go even if you have changed as a person. I can get that people bringing up drama that happened years ago can be frustrating and isn't something you can easily fix. So, even if you can hate someone for something they did years ago, you shouldn't let that hatred fester like an infected wound, as that ire can become annoying and cause problems for everyone involved.

This post was not made to hate on chrisoncrack (frankly, I do like their content), this was just made to create a greater perspective on who Vefve is because while she may be unusual even by GHOST fan standards, she still has plenty of positive qualities, such as her musical talent, that I've learned through actually getting to know her beyond "that gross Christopher Pierre simp".

*sighss..*

HERE is MY (not so) personal take about diddfee- i meant vevfe because she and her minions wont understand

Before starting, if you dont know who vevfe is, in short she is a fictiosexual (which is an invalid sexuality) adult attracted to christopher pierre, who is a minor, and wrote a necrophiliac fanfic (by the way, if you didnt know, necrophilia is literally a form of $A) which, even worse, involves our silly christopher pierre of course.There are actually some other small things other than this, but ill explain them in the comments.

Now, what i HATE of her is her complete immaturity when also being an adult.

She keeps on blocking people who call her out AND keeps on making points that are pretty stupid and repeats them EVERY SINGLE TIME just like they do make sense. She does all of this instead of apologizing for the things that she has done.

"but you cant hate me on something i made four years ago!! this is why ghosts hates people who bring back his old stuff!!" First of all, Ghost's old stuff isnt even HIGHLY disgusting,but most of all he actually doesnt bring it back or talk about them anymore and asks people to not do so aswell, EVEN if they like it. Vevfe on the other hand, seems to not be even ashamed of the fanfic she made, never apologized for it and EVEN brings it back occasionally.

Also her other excuse ("People have done worse!!!") doesnt make sense at ALL: we infact dont like the people that have done worse, we never said we did. And just because people have done worse doesnt mean that you can do disgusting stuff.

Well...thats all i have to say for now..

Thats all Folks!!!

Agents of SHIELD S3E01-S3E03 reaction

welcome welcome to my ramble on season 3 lol

I hope Simmons is alright

I hope the crystals in the ocean by last season aren't giving the team too much trouble!

Alright imma start now

Agents of SHIELD S3E01

-ahhh so the fish oil can really make normal people transition huh

-Oh my fucking god just how handsome and cool was that entrance of Skye?!

-She just blew away two guys and a car like it's nothing

-She also cut her hair??

-Her gauntlets look cool and ugghh I am loving the whole superhero look

-mmm why did she introduce herself as Daisy?

-She's changed her name?

-Good to see Mack didn't actually quit

-wtf? when did shield develop/invent a flying containment thingy

-where is this thing flying towards??

-ohhhh so this is the new bus?

-who are these guys trying to kill the new inhuman guy? Are they government or something?

-and Skye introduced herself as Daisy again so she really changed her name huh

-I guess it's kinda fitting. She's finally got closure with her family and found her real name

-I always wondered why she named herself Skye tho. Are we gonna get an explanation one day?

-I would really love a flashback to her time as a teenager or a kid or something, get her background story

-no matter what she looks stunning as ever

-I'd say it's the short hair that's making her gorgeous but she'd look good in any haircut tbh

-Bobbi!!!! It's good to see you! she's recovered from the torture of Ward!! yessss!!

-I see that they've built a new prison for inhumans lol

-With the record of Skye and prison rooms of shield I'd say at one point she's gonna end up in here just like in season 1 and 2 she ended up in shield prison room lol

-and Bobbi is calling her Daisy now

-? what?? what's going on with Hunter and Bobbi again???

-they literally went to hell and back SURELY they'll just be in love now why are they not talking YET AGAIN ugghh these two idiots

-annnd Coulson is very much me when adjusting the transition from Skye to Daisy lol imma need to adjust to the new name huh

-lolol "She's the muscle" Mack

-When did Mack and Daisy become partners?

-I love the fact that she's the one who helps inhumans like what her mom used to do

-I feel bad for this guy, his life just got turned upside down

-whatever happens, just how hot is Daisy in a tank top

-and she indeed is the muscle. She takes down this guy so easily lol

-She's so powerful I love her

-so liquid rock is called a monolith?

-Of course Fitz will try to save Simmons

-aww Bobbi doing Simmons' old job

-yes yes I'm still shipping Bobbi with Simmons lol

-So Fitz run away from shield duties to save Simmons?

-very in character

-Look at Fitz. tricking a whole lot of mob

-I'm proud of my boi

-Daisy's tanktop ma'am ugghhhh that is so distracting

-she's so hot

-Coulson's approaching this new government woman with only Hunter mmmm

-That's a risky move but he's smarter than that

-Lincoln is a whole proper doctor now? he's pretty hot in doctor suits

-This Rosaline person is the one hunting inhumans this season?

-wtf? what the hell is that thing???? It's a whole monster???

-That thing looks HUGE

-This monster thing is targeting inhumans? It just specifically asked where are the inhumans

-Mack shot him so many times and still that thing isn't dead?

-Coulson escaped lol they handcuffed a guy without a hand I knew this was coming. So predictable

-Skye+Lincoln barely make the monster guy flinch???

-What is this thing????

-oh right it's Daisy now

-I keep on typing Skye ughhh Gotta get used to it

-are Bobbi and Hunter gonna get married again or what

-I'm rooting for Hunter to kill Ward

-After what Ward did to Bobbi it's normal for them to want to have revenge. I will be rooting for them

-It's so sad to see Fitz's trouble just lead to one word "death"

-Poor Fitz

-He's not ready to give up on Jemma

-He was so close to a date with her. awww man. life is so cruel

-oh fuck no

-Fitz. Please don't do anything stupid come on now

-Never have I ever thought I'd get emotional watching a man screaming at a rock

-That was top notch acting right there good job Fitz's actor

-Simmons!!!! So glad to see she's still alive!!!! but that... doesn't look like earth

-Where is May in this episode? Is she really never coming back????

Agents of SHIELD S3E02

-what do they mean no one ever returns from the rock? Simmons has got to return right?

-Daisy's right, the team's active agents seem to be down to only Daisy and Mack?

-Bobbi is in rehab, Simmons is missing, Fitz is saving Simmons, May is gone, Hunter is going after Ward, Coulson's lost a hand

-shield is not doing so good these days.

-That makes the partner thing between Mack and Daisy more reasonable lol

-So season 3 starts months after season 2 and Fitz has been trying to save Simmons for months

-poor FitzSimmons ughh

-Seeing Bobbi and Hunter kiss makes me happy lol

-Ward. I can't say I miss him, but he makes a good villain of a story

-ahhh i remember this Asgardian dude

-He's an interesting character

-"he did it" lolol Asgardian dude has personality

-Daisy missing May awwww sooo cute

-ahhh MAY!!!!!! i miss you!! come back to the team!

-Asgardian dude proving himself to be useful! Finally, a clue to save Simmons!

-the whole bag of rats just made me jump in front of my screen holy fuck

-Yep, it is confirmed, Ward still knows how to get under my skin god damn it

-what does Ward even want anyways What's his bad guy motives this time around

-Fitz just walked into a death door without even thinking/hesitating

-what a man

-I love Fitz

-Had to agree with Skye here. The new Inhumans could turn any moment, the ATCU thing is dangerous too and this new huge monster comes out of nowhere

-annnd Skye and Mack are the only two in the field dealing with them?

-It's a LOT for two people

-Time for May to be back!

-yes! yes to May's ex husband! I love the thought of Skye as a leader!

-she's thinking like a superhero this season because she's trying to use her power to do good. I love that

-"neighborhood watch" lmao Hunter is so hilarious

-If May pair up with Hunter that'd be an interesting duo

-It's miracle how this equipment from a few hundreds of years ago still works lol

-It's almost impossible

-This thing really can control the stone??

-and this thing just made Skye pass out?????

-ahhh fuck I made the same mistake as Coulson ugghh

-It's Daisy

-damn it I'm so bad with names

-I'm loving May's time with her dad

-Gives layer to her character

-ahhhh so the frequencies control the monolith!

-Daisy's power is so versatile ahhh I love it

-She's willing to risk her life to try to open the portal for Simmons

-I hope there will be some Simmons Daisy friendship scene once they get Simmons back

-I get so oddly excited whenever Daisy uses her superpower ahhhhhh

-Did Fitz just jump through the portal?

-What the fuck a warning would be nice

-holy hell I get so nervous

-I feel like there is no way they can rescue Jemma this early in the season

-But it was heroic of Fitz and Daisy to try

-I'm rooting for Daisy to hold on soooo hard

-just a little longer DAISY!!! you can do it!!!!

-I cannot believe my eyes they actually rescued Simmons????

-In episode 2 of the season????

-LOL thank you writers for not making me wait for this drama to be dragged out

-This show has balls

-I'm so happy Simmons is back

-So May is helping Hunter right? ahh she is so pretty

-poor Simmons she's traumatized

-the way she sleeps on Fitz's leg that's so cute awww

Agents of SHIELD S3E03

-Lincoln's power is pretty cool but why are they hunting him? He didn't do anything? He was just a doctor and then a monster attacked him? what did he do?

-Poor Simmons I hope she gets better

-Daisy is soooo hot help

-she is wearing a lot of tank tops this season and I'm loving it

-Never thought I'd see punk!May. she so hot

-I wonder what happened to Simmons on that other planet?

-knowing this show it is probably gonna answer my questions in a later episode? I hope?

-FitzSimmons walking together is so cute lol

-I never get tired of hearing Bobbi and Hunter telling each other to not die

-punk!May in a tank top is sooo hot oh wow

-Mmmm so Lincoln used to have a drinking problem? He'd struggled with addiction?

-yes!!!! Daisy and Simmons scene!!!

-"You can call me whatever you want"

-yes yes I still ship them together uggh

-It's good to see Daisy and Simmons have a chat after everything

-I feel so bad for Lincoln his only friend turned on him

-and he has a heart attack??????

-poor Lincoln he never wanted this. it's not his fault. not really

-I wish the scene between Daisy and Simmons is longer but it was still sweet

-Lincoln calls saying "I need help" lol that's such a classical hero's love interest thing to do

-I feel like Bobbi is a FitzSimmons shipper lol She was helping Simmons last season and now she's helping Fitz

-Sorry to say this lol I am not impressed by half-naked Hunter

-lol these guys gonna die for sure. flirting with MAY out of all people lmaooo I legit fear for their lives

-I love this fights scene so much! kick ass May is so cool and so hot! Ma'am I'm glad you are back

-AND this line is making me ridiculously happy: "a tiny, little asian woman kicked your ass"

-ughhh fuck yeah I love May

-why is Hunter so tiny without clothes omfg

-ahhh Coulson you can't just hand over Lincoln because of a picture of Daisy

-I mean I understand him but uggghh

-I love this dialogue between Daisy and Lincoln

-I feel like their position sort of reversed compared to last season.

-Last season Lincoln helped Daisy with her powers and helped her accept herself and convinced her she's not the monster. This season seems like it's Daisy who is helping Lincoln accept himself and convince him he is not a monster.

-I feel like Lincoln and Daisy have some shared trauma

-They are definitely gonna get together this season lol

-holy fuck they are kissing now?????

-lmao I thought the writer's gonna make this pairing later in the season and bam the next minute they be kissing

-But mmm idk I feel like there are gaps in between two seasons that are not explained well

-From what I've gathered so far. Between the two seasons, there are some months where Lincoln became a doctor and Daisy became a leader for a special task force.

-Lincoln wanted nothing to do with Daisy and shield two episodes ago and now they are kissing?

-I mean it was pretty quick mmm but I guess they have some romantic foundation in season 2

-Everything moves SO fast in this damn show

-Every time I thought it's gonna be a thing that drags on and on and on and it turns out to be not a long boring drama I get a bit happier

-I don't think Daisy has kissed anyone in season 2

-the trauma of kissing Ward lolol

-Lincoln is at least a massive upgrade

-I really like how it was Daisy who closed the gap between them and kissed Lincoln. She was the one who put a hand on his neck too lol What a queen

-Coulson really turned over Lincoln when they just had their first kiss???

-ahhh good job Lincoln lol his power is enough to knock down everybody

-How did Coulson make the ATCU stand down? what did he offer her?

-I finally get the FitzSimmons romantic dinner but this is not how I wanted things to go and now it's sad

-Fitz is (understandably) eager for everything to be romantic/back to normal

-But I don't think this is a good move for Simmons' sake

-She's obviously dealing with trauma

-awww man the way Simmons is crying I feel so bad for her

-She's been through a lot and she just started to heal. I don't think she has what it takes to get involved in a romantic situation with anyone. sometimes a person is just that emotionally drained.

-She needs time to process and deal with trauma before diving into a relationship

-so I'm very glad the writers didn't make Simmons just happily date Fitz like right after getting rescued

-This keeps things real and keeps Simmons human

-WHAT????

-what is Coulson thinking?? He is working with this ATCU???

-Mack kept what he heard on comms private

-I love this scene of Daisy playing video game with Mack

-Mack is more likable this season

-what??? Simmons was so traumatized by this other planet but she still wants to go back???

-Now I have questions

Forgive and forget what happened in another time (Platonic)

Requested Imagine: After the incident with the Doctor, Daisy and Jemma see how much it hurt you and do what they can to help, but there is only one person who can really help. Fitz

Leopold Fitz, that name used to make you feel safe, happy, protected. A name of a brother figure, of a best friend.

Now, it was a name of danger, of hurt, of caution; of someone who once meant the world to you, but now a complicated thing. That was the what the name brought now. 

Your hand went to the wound he had caused you, a bullet wound; the scar being patched up by Jemma, who had been doing all she could for you. 

“Knock knock.” You heard Daisy said a your door swished open, there was no knock that was a lie, only the words and swoosh of the door to alert you of her presence in your room. 

You quickly put the shirt down, covering the scar, but you saw her eye go to where it would be on your front (your back was to her, you had turned your head to look at you, even then you only saw her from the corner of your eye) and her smile was sympathetic. 

She had her scar too, running her hand along the back of her neck.

“Hey.” You greeted, trying to sound like you both thinking about the same thing.

“Hey.” She parroted back, trying to do the same thing. 

You cleared your throat, fully turning to your friend and crossing your arms, “So, what’s up?” You asked.

She suddenly remembered why she was here, “We’re gonna be landing soon, gonna need you there with me.” She said, giving you a smile, one you mirrored. 

She hated this, seeing her sibling in pain like this; she hated that your brother figure hurt you both. 

You had found where his ship was after interrogating one of the crew, all you had to do was get to it. 

As you walked, with Daisy leading, Jemma grabbed you by the arm and held you back, “Y/N, if this is it, then --” 

“Now’s not the time.” You said, trying to get her to release you so you could just end this journey. 

“When is the time?” She pressed; you looked at her in the eyes, this journey had made her go to dark places, but she was still the caring soul you met all that time ago.

“Not now,” You said, removing the hand, “Besides, if it is him...then he’ll be with you, and Daisy can do the talking for me.” 

You entered the part of the ship you needed through the ceiling, with Jemma leading the way. You found the pod, and you waited with baited breath. She looked to you and Daisy, two of her best friends in the whole world who had followed her out here for this one moment. 

Her face dropped when she opened it...nothing was there, only some blood. 

She stayed in the pod for a bit, breaking down. You, meanwhile, sat in the commons room, alone, and you allowed yourself to admit it. 

You were happy that he wasn’t. 

And part of you hated yourself for it. 

“Y/N,” Jemma called out to you, you looked up to her, “I need you for something.” 

That was a bit of a stretch, it was more of a team meeting, and something she had spotted on the pod, writing. 

In a language she knew apparently. 

You and Daisy were trying to keep the rest of you guys in check, and at the same time get Simmons to see that you would not survive this trip. 

She, however, saw it differently.

She, however, pulled the lever and sent you deeper into space, chasing after a translation.

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

Jemma knew, she knew that you were pissed by that option; and as much as she defended it, she saw the toll all this was taking on you. 

But, this was her husband, she wasn’t going to just leave him stranded, even if the chance of finding him was small. 

“Y/N --” She said, having a moment alone with you before they went to the city of Kitson, a place apparently only the worst people would go. 

“Don’t.” You were firm with your words, and she could detect the bite. 

“Y/N, please --” Again, she couldn’t finish. 

“You had no right!” 

“I have to find him, Y/N. You would do the same if it was Daisy, me, or anyone else.” She couldn’t stop the words, her goal of finding her husband stopping her from seeing the consequences of her words.

Those consequences came when your eyes widened, almost at the audacity of the words said, before you let out a humourless chuckle, “‘Anyone else’ hasn’t shot me while I’ve tried to free my sister from his split. I get it, not fully in his control, his trauma too, but what about mine, Jemma? You expect me to just move on from it? Sure, Daisy’s done better, but --”

“You don’t need to compare yourself to her, Y/N. You’re making your own progress, I promise…” She was torn, and you could tell. 

“Whatever, let’s just go, ok?” She could tell things were a bit icey between you both, but she knew that you both still cared for each other, even during this time. 

You went to Kitson, yourself and the two girls getting high as a kite in your search, “Co-come on, Y/N...We need to find our british friend.” Daisy said, holding onto your hand and bringing you through the crowds. You had no idea where Jemma had gone, part of your brain wondering if she was real…

If what Fitz had done was real. 

She was, as you found out, being brought onto the floor in a crawl as you went under the table to find some solace from the people.

You observed the surroundings, eyes wide as you blinked a few times, but you swore you saw a man in a suit, a beard and an emotionless expression on his face staring at you a few times in the crowd, but each time you just shook your head and he was gone.

A blaring ‘dolphin’ noise brought the three of you out, it was a signal. But Chronicoms were on your tail, so you both looked to Jemma, assuring her that - despite your states - you could handle them. Jemma looked to you and smiled, glad you still had her back. 

She went, and you and your sister got to work, Daisy spinning on the table and you throwing glasses at the trained opponents. It was funny, how you both almost reverted to how you were before all this - you throwing glasses in a bar fight - and her distracting herself during a conflict and having fun with it. 

With that cleared up, Jemma had news for you. 

“He’s alive.” She told you, and she knew where to go. 

Your search led you to a Chromicom ship, or rather the ship. But, you saw him for the first time --

Not the doctor who had hurt you and your sister --

Not the man who had a split and lost for a moment to his demons --

But your best friend, your brother. Jemma’s husband --

Leopold Fitz.

Daisy was all but ready to make do on her threat of Fitz being hurt again, she’d tear the ship apart. She knew this wasn’t the Fitz that had hurt her, had hurt you. 

You were willing to do a lot of things to get him back, but forgiving him would be another thing. 

You had tried a runner, only for you to find yourself surrounded; you and Daisy were more than ready to fight --

But Jemma stopped you; you couldn’t quite focus on her words, your heart racing as you saw the tears in Daisy’s and Jemma’s eyes. 

This was a goodbye between you three siblings. 

Jemma then looked to you, shaky smile on her lips, “Y/N --” She wanted to say something, anything to help make this better. But she couldn’t think of anything. 

Her youngest sibling was hurting, just as much as her other younger sister. 

You brought her into a hug, one she returned, no other words were spoken; you both just hugged. 

Then she was gone, and you were going home with a member gone, maybe forever. 

As you went home, Daisy found you in your room, she sat next to you, not saying anything but she knew her presence would help. 

Hell, it had helped her, she knew how you both worked. You were her best friend since birth, brought up together in the orphanage. Now, you were more hurt than you were before. 

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

Still, you went back to earth, the ever present image of Jemma Simmon walking away, to whatever her fate held, was etched into your mind. 

You felt Daisy’s gaze on you every so often as you got closer to home. Still, no words were spoken, just the gaze of, not concern, just care. Was she worried? Yeah, but she knew displaying that to you would only make you go further into your hole you had dug for yourself. 

Still, you disembarked and found yourself now in a new situation, a new trauma; Phil Coulson had returned...sort of. 

It was him in the physical form, just not the...mental form? Still, it threw yourself and Daisy, just how seeing Fitz (the older version you cared for dearly) threw you earlier. 

You and Daisy walked away, trying to ignore what you had just seen. It didn’t, however, work that way. 

You instead ended up on the man’s (Sarge) truck, going to stop someone known as Izel, you didn’t care who she was, just that she was a threat to your family. 

So, on board you went. 

He pulled you up to the front, Daisy giving you a pat on the shoulder for encouragement as you went; you gave her a smile before entering. 

“So, smiley tells me you went off to space.” He said, wasting no time it seemed. 

You nodded, “Had a little trip, sure.” 

“What for?” 

“It wasn’t for you, if that’s what you’re getting at.” 

He scoffed, “Trust me, I might have an ego, but not that high of one. What were you really looking for?” 

“Why do you wanna know?” 

“Snow’s...difficult, but I’ve known her long enough to know when she needs to talk.” 

“You offering me a shoulder?” 

“A cold one. But you seem to be more open than your sister. All she wanted to talk about was me.” 

“She’s always been inquisitive.” 

“And you're sensitive.” 

“Was.” 

“Sounds like there’s a story there.” Wow, he was not stopping. 

“I will when you do.” He smirked. 

And he did, just to spite you it seemed; he opened up about Izel and his past; how his planet was destroyed and how revenge and hate drove him. 

He lied at one point, saying it was love, but he quickly said it was the hate that drove him instead. 

Love drove you, you knew that, but also fear. Fear of who Fitz would be.

Sarge looked at you, eyes almost daring you to open up; Daisy caught the look, quickly brining the attention back to her and away from you. She hated it, the look in his eyes, the amusement he got from causing you that discomfort. 

Then he was gone, he was out and you were barreling for a tower filled with Shrike (little bat things) that would infect everyone. 

Sarge was gone, and you were going to slam into the tower with a nuke. 

Deke did what he could to try and defuse it, but was unsuccessful. 

Daisy looked to you, seeing you only staring at the bomb that would now surely take your life; you looked devastated. Her eyes softened as she took one of your hands in her own, she gave it a squeeze, a silent “I love you.” 

Then it all went black…

Only, you woke up. You woke up to Daisy over the bomb with her powers making it go back into the bomb. 

She took care of the shrike too, vaporizing them as they entered. 

Then...then he entered. Leopold Fitz…

It was different seeing him in person, actually seeing him. 

Deke had hugged him.

Daisy smiled, as did May. 

You did, a small amount; he looked like his innocent self, not the beared man who had hurt him. 

But he was still there...always there deep down. 

You had a party, and he smiled at you; you lifted your bottle up, but your smile wasn’t as full as it used to be. 

You left early. 

Then you were forced to work together, looking into what made Sarge...well, Sarge, as Daisy spoke to him. 

She let it all out, the vitreal, the anger at this situation. Fitz chanced a look to you, seeing how you kept your distance, didn’t look at him. 

“Y/N...are you ok?” He asked; Jemma even paused what she was doing to look over at you in concern. 

You gulped, just hearing his voice made you go back mentally, “...Yeah, fine.” You said, trying to hang tough. 

His hand hit your shoulder, and you flinched away, slapping the hand away. He ignored the pain, he just kept his hands up and took a step back. 

“...I can’t do this, I’m sorry.” You said, walking away, ignoring Jemma saying your name softly as you left. 

You went back to your retreat. You felt the place shake, but you just hid yourself more. You couldn’t do this, your hand went to your wound as you felt the burning from it when you were shot. You heard the broken of “NO!” From both Daisy and Jemma. You --

You felt a hand on your shoulder, a soft one and yet you still cried out at it. The hand stayed, however, and you felt yourself be pulled into a hug. 

“I got you, Y/N...I got you.” It was Daisy, and you felt her tears hit you on the top of your head as you sobbed. 

You stayed like that for a bit, with you just sobbing into her as you took yourself back to what would have been your death had...had Jemma not acted so quickly. 

Jemma, the woman who had been by your side this whole time, along with Daisy of course. But Jemma never forced you into anything about the topic, she respected your boundaries. 

“Is...is he?” You started to ask before you hiccuped.

“He wanted to wait...but he understands if you don’t --”

“No, no I wanna see him...It...I can’t just ignore him forever.” You said, Daisy still holding you close.

“Ok...ok.” She said, kissing you on your head before helping you up and bring you to the door.

She opened it, and you smiled at your brother. Not the doctor. But Leopold Fitz, the man who hadn’t lost to his demons. 

And he smiled back softly. 

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

Daisy gave you a hug before departing on her mission, and that left you with Fitzsimmons. Jemma stood on one side, Fitz on the other. 

You stood as a united trio as you watched the mission occur. 

“Y/N, I...I’m sorry.” You let him finish this time. 

This time, you also looked at him, “It -- it wasn’t you.” 

“...I know. But, I still did it.” He said, not wanting to let himself of the hook.

You nodded sadly, “We fixed the timeline...We saved you, we’re all back together now...I’m sure we’ll get there with us, anyway.” 

He smiled, he knew you would, and he hoped dearly that he would. 

Jemma smiled, glad you were starting to heal. 

Now though, without knowing, it would be a while before you would see your friends again fully...
