#abby! 🪄

[winterrrnight]

KEZ!!! I just thought of an amazing idea😭, you know how Ward lended Rafe, Cameron industries…what about before Rafe married reader, she always dreamed of having (the pictures), a majestic bookroom filled w books. So!! Before getting married she would always talk abt Rafe building anything similar for her, and since we all know Rafe is OBSESSED w wife, he already started rough drafts to make sure wife got everything she wanted, what Rafe vowed to her 🥹

IM GOING CRAZY IM GOING CRAZY IM GOING BATSHIT CRAZYYYYY abby I'm kissing your brain rn so hard 🥹🥹🫶🏼🫶🏼

part of this little universe <3

rafe has always known about his wife's obsession for books and her dream of having a book room, all of it decorated with aesthetics that she loves with all her heart (like literally anything!! whatever aesthetic the reader loves) and filled with so many books, like basically she wants her own little home library. 🥹

and rafe practically vowed the day she told him about her dreams that he will give it to her.

so the drafts were started, the ideas were thought, the sketches were made, and he was so determined to give her what she wants.

so, I believe that after their wedding when his wife gets to see their new house for the first time that rafe has been having built since the day he decided he's going to marry her and wants her in his life forever, the first room she's taken to is the bookroom!!!!

and its decorated exactly like how she used to tell him.

she wasn't even sure he would remember, but she is so in awe when she sees how much attention he paid to the details, how everything is just exactly the way she would describe to him.

she just didn't know rafe would be so lost in her words when she used to be telling him about her dreams of owning something like that, and how he loved that dreamy look in her eyes that she gets each time she talks about something she's extremely passionate about.

and to see her dreams come to literal life, you all best believe she has to pinch herself to convince her mind it is real!!!!

and then rafe shows her around, showing her everything he got built in the room and she's just so in awe with the way he practically bought heaven to existence for her.

after they start living there rafe knows that there's a good chance she's almost always in that room, reading something she loves so so much.

and after she's done reading whatever book it was that kept her so intrigued she would share her crazy theories on the book and rafe would listen to her no matter what!! cause he loves her!! with her whole heart!! he'll bring her the entire solar system if she asks for it!!

her face again has that dreamy look he so so so SO loves, and he gets lost in it. lost in her soft expression, her voice, her gaze... and its like he's falling in love all over again.

goodness he's so so whipped for her, he's never letting her go for real. she's her goddess always and forever 💘

tagging my baes @runningfrom2am & @chenslucy who i know will eat this up!!!!

Hey abbacadaba! How’s your day going -🪄

HI NONNIE

my days going good!! i’m making dinner right now and watching the canucks. how was your day??

[gh0stsp1d3r]

Hey bestie

Can I get some Mike and reader

Reader is a bakery worker,mikes getting cookies for his sister

He talks about needing a new babysitter

Reader offers

Do your magic 🪄

ahhh HIII, first time writing for Mike so yay

𝒞ℴℴ𝓀𝒾ℯ𝓈

“Do I really need to..?” He sighed, as he practically got pushed out the door by Abby.

“You promised.” She whined.

“Fine. I’ll have them for you before you get back from school.”

She seemed pleased by that answer, and he started to drive towards the school.

——-

At the bakery, he waited in line patiently. It was a popular bakery in the town, but it was good. He and Abby had gone there a few times before.

“Hello, welcome! What can I get for you today?” Your cheery voice said when he walked up. He was out of it kind of until he heard your voice.

“Uh-hi. Can I just get a small box of chocolate chip cookies?”

You nodded with a smile. “They’re so good. Have you been here before?”

“Uhh… a while ago. My sister wanted some because we made some deal.”

“How old is she?” You asked, as you gave the receipt to the cooks.

“She’s 10. Really great kid, but I work these long hours and I really need a new babysitter. Wish I could like… I don’t know.”

Why was he telling this stranger his whole life? God, Mike, get a hold of yourself. He thought to himself.

“She sounds nice. You know, I could babysit her.” You felt yourself wanting to get closer to this man, for some odd reason. Something about him was intriguing.

“What? Are you sure? I don’t wanna-“

“Of course! I’m great with kids. My breaks uh… in 10 minutes, if you can wait, we can exchange whatever-“

“Yeah! Yeah. That’d be.. great. Thank you.”

You gave him a smile, handing him his box of cookies.

“Enjoy.”

A big thank you to everyone who voted, and a giant thank you and hug to @ginisbetterthanfirewhiskey for helping me pick the pup below as Harry's beloved little mutt! This dog (a she for plot purposes) will be making several appearances in my untitled Hating Game AU. 🐶

Now I need help with her name! Please choose what Harry (with no influence from Ginny) would call his dog from the poll below. I've included some names from a top dog names list from England, as well as a few out-of-pocket (witchy/mystical) choices.

*The meanings and information beside each name have been gathered from Google and babynames.com.

Hey sorcha! 💕💕💕

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

🪄🪄🪄🪄🪄🪄🪄🪄

-❤️🪐

Thank you Saturn!! Oooh, you're really challenging me with the "vague hit of an idea" WIPs, aren't you? 😅😘

here's 24 sentences of The Abby Thing, any guesses what it could be?

He stops, pulling over to the side. Carla won’t be there, not with Chris in Texas. He taps a message into his phone. [Buck, 6:15pm] Hi Carla. Hope you’re good. Are you free? I need to ask you something. He sighs, staring at the phone just long enough to decide she’s probably not going to respond immediately, then drives to Eddie’s anyway. Where else would he go? He’d left Tommy alone in his apartment, after all. Buck doesn’t know whether he’ll stay there, waiting for him to come home, or if he’ll head back to his own place.  Buck doesn’t want to risk it—Tommy will want to talk about it, and he just… he’s not ready. He doesn’t even know what he thinks about it. He’ll sleep on Eddie’s couch, and head home in the morning. He'll be home in a few hours, and by then, Buck will have spoken to Carla, and he’ll probably be grateful for his company. He'll be ready to hear Eddie's rant about how Abby treated him, to sip a beer with his best friend and talk about how he really should reach out to Tommy. His phone buzzes in his pocket as he pulls into the driveway.  [Carla, 6:33pm] Buck! I always have time for you. I can do coffee tomorrow, or is it more urgent than that? [Buck, 6:36] Yeah. I can do tomorrow. Thanks, Carla. He sends the message, after debating it for what feels like forever. He can sit with this for one night.  He hates this. He hates feeling this way. He’s moved past this, hasn’t he?

And another 24 of mind reader Buck! This snip establishes the premis pretty well, I think!

He doesn’t notice it at first. Waking up, seeing his family around him, the cries of relief had been welcome to his ears, a confirmation he’d done the right thing in crashing through the glass and returning from the coma dream.  He drifts in and out at first. Moments of lucidity, seeing Maddie by his bedside, hearing her call out to someone, saying he’s awake. Hearing Bobby’s voice, thanking god he was okay.  In and out, one by one, he hears the people he cares about care about him in return. It’s almost enough to give a guy a big head, he thinks.  The first time he manages to stay awake for more than a minute at a time—who knew being in a coma could be so exhausting?—Maddie is sitting there again. She’s been there most times he’s woken up.  “Hey, Maddie.” Buck grunts, trying to sit up. ‘Oh shit!’ he hears her say, as she looks up from her phone to look at him. She smiles. “Hey there, sleepy. How are you feeling?” Buck gives up on his effort to sit and lets the pillow claim him once more. “I’ve been better. But I’m alive, which I guess means I’ve been worse.” ‘If he’s joking about it, it can’t be too bad.’ “Is your head hurting? Do you still feel sleepy?” Buck frowns. He hasn’t looked away from her since he spotted her, but… He could have sworn her mouth hadn’t moved, for the first half of that statement. ‘Something’s wrong.’ Maddie’s brows knit together.

The Fischer-Gage family is not one for ritual magic, except for Abby who got very into to new age-type wicca as a teeanger (much to May's bafflement). there is still a collection of formal wands in the "attic" (which is more like a crawl space above the hall)

im also high and ive been re-reading swamp thing and I think abby arcane should have crazy gay sex with zatanna

I think it would be so funny if Alec and johns gfs were fucking while they still had this very tense and a little antagonistic relationship totally unrelated to the fact they're branches in the swamp magic polycule

but more than that I want abby and zee to make out

it is a crime that they've never interacted in cannon (at least to my memory)

semi unrelated but I also want tefe and zatara 2 to be buds

👍 👍 👍 🌱 🪄

I think our weed minds are syncing bc I agree with all of this

BETH. Beth Beth Beth. Joey Batey's soft, sad face and his soft, gentle voice will be my undoing. I am trying to watch Billy the Kid but I keep stopping to poke around at other things because he makes me wanna scream and it's midnight and I would wake the whole neighborhood. It's been an hour, Beth, and I'm only halfway through. Why am I like this. WHY IS *HE* LIKE THIS. I blame him for everything.

Oh my dearling, I am here for when you get to the end of the episode because if you are emotionally compromised NOW just wait until he's wrapped in a blankie and talking to his son about stars and crying I HAVE NOT RECOVERED YET and I watched it like a month ago!

A LYRIC I AM NOT NORMAL ABOUT

Surprising no one, it's The Amazing Devil, SPECIFICALLY

Though some would harm you/ none not one no none/ would raise to you/a hand nor thumb/ not while by you/ I stand and hum

First of all, how dare Joey Batey. Second of all, the way the words flow just hits all the happiest places in my brain for sound. Thirdly, the context is just so damn sweet.

Bethhhhhhh you were right you were right in your predictions. Joey is Billy the Kid's dad. Have you seen this trailer yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cw8v1CP9W0

I KNEW IT I BLOODY KNEW IT I SHALL CROW FOR THE REST OF TIME! (and bless you darling, I hadn’t seen it yet)

Also yep, hence the beard and also EXCUSE ME SIR IRISH ACCENT and I mean, I know his dad dies (and Joey’s only in the first episode) but also HOW DARE THEY KILL OFF MY BEST BELOVED JAIL JAIL FOR THE WILD WEST FOR 1000 YEARS

My #1 post of 2022

Heath Ledger was fine too.

On his multimillion dollar set with all the cast and crew around him.

Good to know that the world hasn't changed. People still think showing concern for mens' mental health and wellbeing is "infantilizing".

Thanks for showing how little the fandom cares beyond making Jaskier fuck Geralt.

I wasn't going to answer because your tone is very dismissive and very rude, truly I wasn't. But you hit a sore spot.

I AM concerned for Joey's mental health, broadly. He has admitted to (and wrote even a song about) being socially Anxious and I think he may also deal with Depression. So I am worried for him because I know how those conditions can badly affect people, particularly men who are seen as lesser for having and admitting to mental illness(es). If I even vaguely SUSPECTED he was hurt or mistreated on set I'd be at the forefront of the Anger Riot, believe me. But I do not know him personally, so I cannot speak to how things affect him on a day to day level. And Nonny, neither can you. We are fans. We are not his friends or his caretakers. We are outsiders to his life and should take HIS word for how he is treated.

But I also believe Joey was NOT mistreated nor was his mental health irrevocably damaged from filming this scene. Was he shaken because being tied up is strenuous and playing someone being tortured is a mental mind fuck? Yes, of course, he admits that. But he is an amazing actor and yes, it can take time to return from the dark places one's mind can go, especially for a scene like that. But he came back. He came back and moved on and did his next scenes and finished filming and moved on to further projects and is probably preparing for season 3 as we speak. And moreover, he's DONE IT BEFORE. Yes, he's new to a recurring role on large scale shows like The Witcher but Joey has been working at a decent clip since before he left Cambridge, both on stage and screen.

He has a torture scene in Wolf Hall/Bring Up The Bodies, the play he did right out of drama school (and where the gods saw fit to introduce him to Madeleine Hyland and thus brighten not only their own lives but all ours). I have heard it, he SCREAMS. He cries, he sounds very very NOT OKAY. But y'know what? He was. Joey has done death scenes and stunts and has played characters in very dark mental places. So doing a physically and mentally and emotionally demanding scene is not new to him. And he did it on a set full of people that Joey specifically mentions multiple times in multiple interviews as being supportive of him, looking after him. He mentioned having panic/anxiety attacks (I believe anxiety but cannot recall exactly which rn) and that his friends and colleagues on The Witcher were incredibly supportive and kind to him. I place his own words about his experience as closer to the truth of the matter than people who are misconstruing what sounds like a scary situation to them, out of context. That's why I made the post, to give context to how these sorts of things usually go.

Are there still sets where an experience like this was probably the worst of an actor’s life? Yes, of course, we know this. But it is not the majority and I cannot believe that was the case here.

I cannot speak to Heath Ledger's experience, I wasn't engaged enough to read all his interviews the way I do Joey's. Though I was shocked and utterly heartbroken when he died. As I was with Robin Williams. As I was when I learned how River Phoenix and Jonathan Brandis died, after the fact. I think caring about men's mental health is GREAT and necessary and bloody important and that more people SHOULD care. But I think creating issues where there were none is not the way to go about it.

Lastly, honestly at this point I'm more on the Yennskier train. I can separate what I WANT from what the show GIVES because that's the point of fandom and fic. Going "Okay but WHAT IF these characters DID kiss?" But this isn't about shipping. It's not about pitting characters or ships or actors or people against each other. This is about how people are overly worrying about Joey's mental health and not Anya's. Or Freya's even. Both had dark mental places to go this season (and last season), both had physically taxing scenes. Anya was also restrained in a torture scene this season, but no one drew a comparison even though it is easy to make. No one asked if she was okay. No one worried she was mistreated they way some folks have claimed Joey was.

I think it boils down to some people want to hate the show and the people who make it, but not hate Joey. So if they can say Joey was mistreated (and I truly, TRULY believe he was not) on set or by the show then they can justify being a fan of his while hating on a show he SPECIFICALLY calls the best job he's ever had. Where he mentions again and again that he was supported by everyone: cast, crew and creatives.

So, I do think it is infantilizing to dismiss His Own Words because they don't fit the idea some folks have formed of who he is or how he is treated on set. I would highly recommend reading this interview: https://boysbygirls.co.uk/conversations/joey-batey (done AFTER FILMING) as it is a very in-depth and revealing one about who Joey really is and how he operates in the world and how he finds his equilibrium when it's thrown off, whether by work or life in general. He has a good support system, Madeleine of course and he mentions his sisters. He has good coping mechanisms, creating music and writing and building furniture apparently that was a new one. :) I think he has one of the healthiest perspectives on life I have ever heard and I think it has taken him years and support and work to get there for himself. And I am very glad he seems to be doing so well in his life. Because I want him to be happy and healthy.

Joey was and is fine. Your concern about him is good! Caring about him is good! Your misplaced anger is not good.
