#actually no I can’t and I won’t— stay broken 😭

[keii]

I want to rewatch the new spiderverse movie again so bad. I swear animated movies/series (not really Pixar/Disney tbh 🙄) have really just been going crazy and I love it so much. I love artists. How can society look down on artists when we create things that inspire or give others this sense of wonder. Artists have the power to whisk you away and bring you into this whole new world. Multiple lives you can experience, new emotions, and endless worlds to explore. Anytime I experience something so breathtaking, I am thankful that I’m alive to witness it and that overwhelming sense of creativity is something that just has so much love… blood, sweat and tears. You could tell how much love was put into that movie. People weren’t meant to be alone, we were meant to gather around and share the worlds that we hold in our hearts 😭

[raisedbythetv89]

The writers I think mostly completely by accident with the assistance of James charming his way into becoming a main character created the perfect storm to ensure people who love spike would reach absolute peak levels of being completely obsessively deranged about him forever

Season 2:

He’s a punk rock villain with killer cheekbones, enchanting eyes, and an absolutely DEVILISH smile - who’s an incredibly dedicated and dangerous fighter who specifically seeks out challenging fights he’s not guaranteed to win (brave and reckless - normally traits seen in heroes) hates everyone except his mentally ill physically sick wife (the statistics of men who leave their wives when they get sick in the US is horrifying like nurses literally have to warn married women who get sick it happens so often) who he’s hopelessly devoted to and unbelievably soft with and always listens to her while also exuding a psychotic amount of sex appeal and is just F U N he loves being a vampire and he loves fighting and it makes it so much fun for the audience. While still showing how much he respects and admires his enemy for her skill, strength, resourcefulness, and intelligence - NEVER underestimating her just because she’s a tiny blonde girl - and instead of destroying the world for love he SAVES the world for love - a villain doing good to get the love of his life back who essentially dumped him for her ex????????? D E V O T E D and shockingly extremely trustworthy??? And has amazing chemistry with our heroine and is there for a pivotal moment in her life and is the only one there for her when she has no one else????? *enemies to lovers girlies ENTER THE CHAT*

Season 3:

He shows he fucking MEANS IT when he says Dru is the love of his life when he shows up in Sunnydale because he blames Angel not Buffy or Drusilla but the man actually responsible for all their problems and he is the most pathetic mess we’ve ever SEEN!!!! He’s crying and drunk all the time and he’s so sad he goes to Buffy’s mom TO TALK 💀😭 our pathetic sensitive little self admitted lover boy who KNOWS he’s love’s bitch and he won’t be pretending he’s anything otherwise who shows how clearly he sees and understands other people and the depths of his emotional intelligence so much so Buffy herself admits she can’t fool Spike she can fool her friends BUT NOT SPIKE OR HERSELF EXCUSE ME MA’AM WHAT???????

AND Spike doesn’t just uselessly MOPE forever he gets some perspective and is like I know what I’m gonna do to her back and I’m gonna go do that now! 😁👍🏻 showing he never stays down for long and is always gonna get back up to keep fighting for his love while BOTH he and Buffy still honor the truce even though he’s broken it by coming back??? While Buffy’s all “I violently dislike you” YEAH OK GIRL WHATEVER YOU SAY *enemies to lovers girlies chomping at the bit intensifies*

Season 4:

CLEARLY heartbroken about Drusilla (DEVOTED!!!) but it’s turned into anger and resentment directed at Harmony who how bizarre looks nothing like Drusilla but A LOT like Buffy…… hmmmmmmmmmmmmm HOW INTERESTING *enemies to lovers girlies are vibrating with anticipation that turns into a full blown combustion when something blue happens*

Spike doesn’t pretend to love Harmony in order to get what he wants from her (shown in direct contrast to Parker) he’s ironically very honest despite being a villain - he’s showing he’s STILL loyal to Drusilla in ONLY loving her even after she’s dumped him... again!

We see Spike treat Buffy the EXACT same way he treated Drusilla during something blue reaffirming THIS IS HOW THIS MAN LOVES WHEN HE LOVES YOU. He’s extremely affectionate, helpful, protective, caring - D E V O T E D - and is truly just the most certified lover boy we’ve ever fucking seen

Season 5:

SURPRISE HE’S SECRETLY A LOVESICK MAMA’S BOY POET AT HEART UNDERNEATH THE BAD BOY PERSONA AND A PROTECTIVE BIG BROTHER AND NOW BUFFY AND HER FAMILY’S MOST LOYAL DEFENDER AND IS WILLING TO DIE NOT JUST FOR BUFFY BUT FOR ALL THE SUMMERS WOMEN AND HE KNOWS AND SEES BUFFY SO DEEPLY AND INTIMATELY AND CAN HOLD SPACE FOR HER PAIN LIKE NO ON ELSE CAN AND SHOWS THE DEVOTION THAT ONCE BELONGED TO DRUSILLA NOW BELONGS TO BUFFY AND IT IS GOING NOWHERE EVEN WHEN SHE DIES AND WE'VE SEEN IN HIM CRY BEFORE BUT NEVER HAVE WE SEEN HIM BREAK DOWN LIKE HE DOES AT THE SIGHT OF BUFFY'S BODY!!!!!!!!!!!

*all of us screaming, crying, throwing up, climbing the walls and generally just losing our minds*

Season 6:

No soul, his love is so great for Buffy as is his loyalty and devotion to her, he now helps all of his dead love’s friends fight evil and is raising her sister and dreams of saving her every night for 148 nights 🤚🏻😭 don’t even fucking talk to me I can’t take it

Forgive the absolute 180 in tone change here:

Dick game is FIRE - his touch is the only thing that makes Buffy feel alive AND SHE WAS IN HEAVEN BRO SHE KNOWS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE IN HEAVEN AND SPIKE IS THE ONLY THING KEEPING HER GOING like damn girl yes YOU FUCK THAT HOUSE DOWN!!! Also he is now just naked 50% of the time just to drive us all even FURTHER out of our minds and somehow has just gotten even hotter as the seasons have gone on like this is what’s been hiding under the leather jacket all this time! Enjoy!

And THE MOST unintended consequence of jw’s vindictive writing:

SPITE

He clearly didn’t want us to love Spike and tried to manipulate us into hating him in such a blatant and clumsy ooc attempt all that did was weed out the weakest amongst the Spuffy/Spike fans until all that remained were us:

The most devoted and stubborn fans who REFUSED to have the thing they loved ruined or taken away from us and were smart enough to see through his bullshit manipulation attempt in the first place.

Genuinely they created the equivalent of supersoilder strength level fans with this absolutely lethal combination of events 💀

AND THEN as if all that wasn't enough he goes and gets his soul on purpose for Buffy so he can be the man she deserves and she can love him without hating herself for loving him despite the immense pain it will cause him which is the most selfless thing we have ever seen anyone do for Buffy only to be topped when he sacrifices himself to destroy the hellmouth, save the world and free her from Sunnydale!!! Plus ya know once he gets the soul even though he did it for her he never tries to use that as leverage to get anything from her like he truly expects nothing from her at all but still wants to help her and James delivers the most devastating performances we've ever fucking seen, finally tells her friends off which has needed to happen for 5 seasons, the "you're the one speech" him being a dad to all the potentials with Buffy giving us supernatural parent core who made it through their rough patch with their first kid in season 6 with Dawn and now are just the beautiful team with their found family and Buffy finally has someone who can truly carry her burdens with her and just all the tenderness and devotion they both deserve after so many years of pain and fighting. Basically giving the audience the message that even if you have a metric ton of pain and trauma there are people out there who see you and understand you and there is a chance for you to heal both together and separately to build your own version of a more normal and stable life. It's a message of such hope and I personally know several people, including myself who watched what Spike and Buffy have and it inspired us to look at the relationships we were in and realize we deserved SO MUCH MORE than what we were getting and in my case it turned out I was being emotionally abused and manipulated that entire time!! Much like Buffy was by both Riley and Angel. So it isn't an exaggeration to say Spuffy saved my life in a lot of ways both in being there for me at such a dark time and helping me draw a map of how to get out. Not to mention loving them in fandom spaces has helped me connect with so many people just like me who share very similar experiences and have helped me feel so much less alone and has helped me heal in so many ways 🖤

Spuffies get "hOw cAn yOu liKe sPiKe aFtEr wHaT hE dId" all the fucking time and truly the better question is how can you NOT like Spike???? HAVE YOU BEEN PAYING ATTENTION AT ALL??? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT GOOD RELATIONSHIPS NEED TO WORK?? BECAUSE AT THEIR CORE SPUFFY HAS THEM ALL!

It's jw writing so NOTHING will escape his toxic bullshit but Spike - because he was hated by jw for so long - so much of the time when he tried to make Spike less popular he just kept making him better and more complex and more and more targeted to the female gaze which is exactly why he snapped and made the choices he literally forced everyone else to go along with despite their protests with that scene to make it the most traumatizing scene in all of Buffy history not just for the audience but for the actors as well because yes it is incredibly horrific and upsetting to watch (which is why I skip it on rewatches) but I still am able to see if for what it is which is a narcissist lashing out at people he hates because he hasn't been able to control them and too bad for him I refuse to be manipulated by his bullshit so it failed completely and made so many of us that much more stubbornly protective of Spike and his and Buffy's relationship not just from other fans but from the creator himself 🙃🖕🏻like he basically just trauma bonded us to Spike and Buffy which has led to the creation of one of the most devoted, loyal, intelligent fanbases who is absolutely unhinged (affectionate) with their love of this character and his relationship which is why we are all still creating and writing about this character 25 year later and show absolutely zero signs of slowing down or stopping 💀

You Get Hate From The Fans

Jimin x Reader

Summary: After months of harassment from toxic fans, you can't help but wonder whether it would better for you and Jimin to part ways.

Warnings: angst, crying, mentions of harassment, not proofread

A/N: Thanks to the lovely anon who requested this! I honestly got a little too in my feels as I was writing this, I always hate making Chim cry, even if things work out in the end.😭

Masterlist

Requests are open

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

You had been unusually quiet all night, making Jimin increasingly worried. At first he thought maybe you weren’t feeling well, but as the evening pressed on, he could tell there was clearly something bothering you as you seemed to withdraw more and more into yourself.

“Will you please tell me what’s wrong?” He finally asked, coming to sit by you on the couch.

“I don’t know if I wanna say it.” You said, not meeting his eyes.

He took your hand. “It’s okay. You can tell me anything, I won’t judge.”

You shut your eyes, trying to swallow the lump in your throat. God, why did he have to make this so hard?

“What if we�� broke up?” Your voice came out barely above a whisper.

You felt him flinch as if you’d slapped him. “What?!” He gasped.

“It’s too much, I-I can’t do it. Everyone keeps saying that you’d be better off without me...”

“Everyone who? What are you saying?” He asked, tears evident in his voice. “Please, look at me, y/n.” He pleaded.

Slowly, you raised your eyes to meet his, your whole body shaking from the effort it took not to fall to pieces.

“Talk to me. What’s happened?” He begged.

And just like that, the dam broke. All the pain and frustration poured out as you began to sob into his chest, the whole story coming out in broken bits and pieces.

For months, you’d borne the brunt of so-called army's hateful comments. At first, you’d tried to just ignore them, aware that it was one of the hazards of dating an idol, but as time went on, they became more and more aggressive and cruel, attacking everything about your appearance and personality. You had tried to cope and keep the comments to yourself, knowing how much it would upset Jimin, but there was only so much you could take.

“I know that they wouldn’t go away completely if we broke up, but… I didn’t know what else to do.” You concluded, leaning weakly against Jimin as he held onto you tightly.

“Why didn’t you tell me before?” He asked, crying with you.

“I didn’t wanna make things worse.” You hiccuped. ”You already have so much going on, and I didn’t want to be another weight on your back.”

“Stop that! That’s what they want you to think, but it’s not true, nothing could be further from the truth.” He rocked you both as he spoke. “You give me so much strength, I don’t know what I would do without you. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there for you, I had no idea.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.” You whispered, but he shook his head.

“What matters now is we need to stand together against this, okay? I’m not gonna leave you to fight on your own.” He promised you, wiping your tears. “Not ever.”

You nodded. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” He said, pressing a soft kiss to your temple, not loosening his hold on you till long after you'd fallen asleep.

He put out a formal statement later that same evening, stating that anyone who was actually a fan or supporter of him would never treat someone he cared about this way, or anyone else for that matter. He said how disappointed he was with the individuals in question, and how any further harassment would be met with legal action.

He also took several days off to stay with you and make sure you were okay. He'd made a vow that night to you and himself that he would do everything in his power to protect you.

The Trainee Ep8 initial reaction.

You know the side couple side plot takes up so much screen time idk why the poster wasn’t with BahMee Tae and Judy in the center frame. In the time it’s taken for Jane to give Ryan a pair of shoes those three have gone on dates broken up and kissed. It’s insane. Anyways let’s do the photo review anyways.

At least we get cute dream sequence offgun. Hehe I enjoyed getting to see a fake Jane being happy and cute. Since judging by the pacing of Jane and Ryan’s couple I’m gonna be shocked if we get to see them go on a first actual date. We have two episodes until the end and…… idk we ain’t getting together fluff.

Such a loser move. Apparently she didn’t remember or care about that the night before. Also how slimey is that thinking you deserve anything after betraying someone’s trust. Just evil. Really Pah or Pie should have slapped that entitled brat.

I’m not into Bratty little cry baby cheaters. But I feel like that is actually judy’s type.

It is the next day. But I appreciate Pah and Pie being there for Tae. Tae is stronger than me there is no way I’d be going to a reservation I made for my ex the next day just too real that they won’t be there.

Also. If we wanted to make things feel connected I would have liked Ryan to have read the text about the break up isn’t he friends with Tae too? I know Ryan had to work but still I wish he had idk been included even if we saw a text just so we know he is part of their friend group.

^^^VERY TRUE what was tae supposed to do? Not work? He kept going over and beyond for her. She also was staying late with Judy. Judy works on weekends and late too over work over work. I don’t understand why BahMee didn’t get the picture. Pah has every right to be mean to her even though he is actually a sweetie and I think he could have been a lot meaner to the whiny baby cheater girl.

Jealous boy does jealous things. Very cute. Ryan’s friend was very touchy also Ryan himself was more talkative with his friend compared to ANYONE else. Ryan doesn’t really even talk to Pie that much no wonder Jane was concerned.

Some accidental prolonged hand contact. At least we got to see a little bit of Jane’s POV but if we are supposed to think overworking is what causes your partner to cheat then… things aren’t going to end well in this fucked up universe.

ON A HAPPIER NOTE how long has he had these shoes for Ryan? Since he tied them right? Or did Jane go out on his day off and buy them for Ryan? Idk either way is pretty cute even though it happened off screen. I can’t believe we are getting exchanging gifts at this stage. How scandalous haha jk jk Ryan has already given Jane gifts of cookies… so seems even? Hehehe

Bullshit. Also I hate him telling her it’s not her fault. It is. Repeat it with me folks. ONCE A CHEATER ALWAYS A CHEATER. I hope Tae finds his Prince Charming soon because he doesn’t deserve to be treated like trash for doing his job.

Nooooooooooooooooo we are getting Jealous Ryan ep next. So is the next episode going to end with a kiss or do we need to wait for ep 10 for them to acknowledge that they like eachother? Didn’t we already have a jealous ep for Ryan and Jane? Why do we have to do this plot device again. 😭 despite all of this the Trainee is still watchable so I suppose it has some thing over CC.

[whatsnewalycat]

I love designated person so much it’s my favourite story ever 😭😭😭😭

We’re trying to hold strong against the angst because better times will come 🥺 despite everything, I still think Frankie and reader deserve to get their happy ending and I’m glad you’re already told us they will hahaha

No rush of course, never rush but I already can’t wait to read the next chapter. I finally want Frankie to tell Angie and for things to be over between them so he can really start over. I know she’s always going to be in his life bc of Sarah but this whole situation with her is only harming him and his recovery and pretty much everything else in his life.

I know Frankie obviously fucked up a lot and a lot of things he did were terrible. But Angie is also incredibly toxic. I reread the birthday party chapter again and it makes me feel so sad for Frankie. He’s sober and doing everything he can to stay sober and his wife and her family get shit faced at a child’s birthday party. And Angie never bothered to actually look after her child either, just focused on partying and drinking.

I hope we get to read the next chapter soon! I’m excited to see what happens next with Frankie and reader. I have a feeling she might stop being his designated person because as long as she is, their relationship feels kinda unbalanced? Idk if I have the right words to explain what I mean haha.

Thanks for this chapter and we love you!!!! This was amazing but also heart breaking.

I love all of this omggg 😍😍😍

The thing about Frankie and Angie is like… they both deserve better. Sometimes people aren’t compatible in relationships but stay in them anyway and it yields misery.

Obviously neither of them are happy and haven’t been for a very very long time, but they both have this idealized picture of what a family looks like, and I think that’s what they’ve both been desperately clinging to. They’ve both been trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, calling it a perfect fit when it’s not. The last thing either of them wanted was a broken home. It’s probably one of the only things they had in common, other than their excessive alcohol use.

Something I really like about this chapter is that we know how Frankie feels about mariposa. We can see that he’s come so far since the conversation they had on the porch swing, where he was emotionally blocked off, lying to himself and to her about his feelings for her. It’s hard for our girl to see that because she doesn’t think she can trust her own instincts, while we know that she was right all along.

I’m so excited to dive into what our guy has been up to behind the scenes of this chapter. I think he knows that she won’t trust his word, so the only way he can build back what he’s ruined is with action. Showing her and himself that he can change. That he means it, really, he does love her and wants to make it right.

WAAAAHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I appreciate your kind words and I’m so grateful this story resonates with you 😭❤️❤️❤️

[snailvibes]

How about some angst. After seeing how skilled Agent 4 is in defeating him, DJ Octavio has Maya kidnapped and uses his hypnoshades(he makes them harder to take/shoot off) to turn her into his perfect soldier. How would the squidbeak splatoon react.

Very funny fact I actually had a plot line like this in a splatoon fic I had YEARRSS ago like in my wattpad days😭 (it’s deleted on there now tho lol). I’ve also kinda made art for this idea with that one bad end agents piece I did ages ago but I never put more thought into it aside from drawing it.

Obviously this would be pre splat3 considering Octavio wouldn’t do this splat3 - post splat 3 cus busy in the desert and then redemption arc, so tldr this won’t include neo 3 or deep cut.

Most prominently Marie would fucking FREAK out. Since you word it as it’s after he sees how skilled she is at defeating him and we can see he’s obviously capable of getting out again, this would probably not be long after the end of splat2’s storymode and Marie who is still coping with losing Callie and just now getting her back would NOT handle this well, like even just realizing Maya is missing and Octavio’s out would completely set her off. Callie would be panicking almost as much as she’s also very much still recovering and now has to deal with facing Octavio all over again because there’s no way she’d let Marie get her back alone. Add Craig Eight and Three into the mix with them coming back from octo expansion; Ashley is essentially just like “oh wow cool new agent- anddd already a new member of the brainwashed club got it.” Lucky I think would choose not to get involved and leave it to the others and Craig is essentially just “WTF happened while I was gone.”

Going into a scenario where it’s farther in the future though so everyone’s already built connections: Ashley is PISSED more than anything because of her already strained and broken relationship with Octavio and this would make it a million times worse, along with being angry that their girlfriend has to go through another thing in her life. Seeing her actually brainwashed and being that perfect soldier would be what gets that anger to turn into just fear, because it’s a similar reflection of herself under Tartar’s control.

Lucky knows Maya can handle herself, but she’s more scared for her than she’s willing to admit, considering she has no memories of her former leader and only has the stories everyone else has shared of what he’s done, and she’s never gone out of her way to interact with him. Similar to Ashley, seeing her brainwashed from the glasses just reminds her of her fight with three in the elevator, but similar to then she’s more willing than the others to fight her to try and yank those glasses off her face.

I don’t think Marie would be able to even properly fight her. I think she’d still feel guilty about shooting Callie in the face even though it needed to be done, so having to actually go outright fight her daughter would be way too much to the point that I don’t think she could even bring herself to do it. Her focus would be more on trying to snipe down Octavio in the background of the fight if he’s there, and if not, letting the others handle Maya so she can go hunt him down while his “perfect soldier” is distracted, mostly because she can’t even stand to stay there and see her like that and she’d want to still be useful. Callie I think would be in a similar situation with Marie, but staying behind anyways. She knows how disorienting it is to come down from being brainwashed and I think she’d focus on that and staying behind at the fight to be there for Maya when they get the glasses off to keep herself distracted from how horrible she feels about this even happening to her.

Hi Hi, I’m not sure if I bother you rn and if I do, forgive me I don’t do it in purpose🙏 just wanted to know if you are ok with making me a headcanon with Law, Hongo and chopper (platonic for him, ofc) with a s/o who have the malady of Lyme. So it’s give to her some pain attacks from times to times? Idk if you write for hongo, if you don’t sorry! And replace him by an other doctor. Like Marco or an other one you like or just do for law and chopper, I won’t be a annoying person by asking many and many details… 😭😭 Though thanks for just reading it. 👌 English isn’t my first language so ignore the mistake please 🫣

Hey, don't worry, you're not bothering me at all. Sorry if this took a while and thank you for being patient. I've (obviously) never written for Hongo so I hope this is okay, I did my best. I assume by malady of Lyme, you mean Lyme disease (the advanced version), so I wrote for that. Even after research, I don't know much about it, so I hope I did okay. and don't worry, you won't be annoying by asking for lots of details... enjoy!

Warnings: Lyme Disease, chronic pain, disease

Word Count: 780

Law

Is actually kind of upset with you.

How could you let it get this bad?

How could you not notice?

Still does everything he can to take care of you.

Despite scolding you, he takes very, very good care of you.

I don’t know the full capabilities of his devil fruit but if he’s able, he’ll totally use his abilities to help make you feel better.

Or if he can, he’ll just remove the problem entirely, I don’t know much about how or why Lyme Disease works.

Even though he scolds you once per attack, he only does it after you’re feeling better enough.

While you’re still in pain, he’s taking very good care of you.

He still seems like his usual stand-offish self, but he’s actually very worried about you.

If it’s just the two of you, he’ll be a little softer with you.

Gently helping you do things, helping with the pain however he can.

Definitely lets you stay in bed and rest. Rest will ease the pain at least.

Makes sure that you’re feeling better before letting you get up and do things.

As much as he talks about the crew needing you and how every crew member is necessary and needs to do their jobs, he actually won’t let you go back to work until he’s certain.

Really wants to just make it all go away like he did with his White Lead. 

If he can’t use his devil fruit to make you feel better, he feels kind of helpless. He hates it.

Hongo

Refuses to do much drinking or partying while you’re having a pain attack.

How can he party when he’s worried about you?

Still does his usual doctor duties but otherwise takes time off to take care of you.

Will straight up tell Shanks to not bother him unless it’s serious.

If it’s anything less than a broken bone or needs stitches, they can manage without him.

You, however, need his attention right now. 

Thankfully the Red-hair crew understands

Another one that’s kind of upset that the disease progressed this far.

It’s fixable in its early stages, so why did yours advance this far?

Still, he doesn’t say anything about it.

He’s just worried about making you feel better.

Does everything he can for you.

He’s a senior member of a Yonko’s crew, if you need something and it isn’t too insane, he’ll get it for you.

Like, obviously he’s not going to invade Marijoa (Mary Geoise), but he’ll totally steal from marine admirals or other Yonko’s or whatever. 

So long as he knows he won’t get caught, he doesn’t want to cause too much trouble for Shanks.

Like, if it’s for you, he doesn’t mind causing some trouble, but he knows there are limits.

Even if you’re all better, he’ll tell you to continue to take it easy for a few more days just in case.

Will totally party and get super drunk once you’re better though.

You’re not sure if he’s making up for all the missed party time or celebrating that you’re feeling better.

Chopper

This sweet little puffball.

He’s freaking out at first.

What should he do? How should he treat you?

Legitimately sobbing.

He feels like he’s not a good enough doctor because he can’t magically fix it. 

You have to reassure him that it’s alright, that he’s still a perfectly good doctor.

Absolutely stays by your side, only leaves when necessary.

The crew knows not to bother him unless they have no choice.

Once literally threw Luffy out of his office for bothering him about something that wasn’t your well being.

He’s such a good doctor, please give him head pats.

This isn’t like after Luffy fights a strong enemy or when Zoro is covered in bandages. He knows how to fix that.

He doesn’t know how to fix this, he doesn’t know how to make it better. 

Researches the fuck out of the disease.

Seriously, he’s doing anything to try and cure this.

It’s one of those moments where he’s like “I’m definitely going to cure all diseases!”

Because he wants to cure this. 

If you tell him the reason you got better so quickly is because of his care he’s doing that blushing “I’m not flattered, idiot.” thing.

100% keeps a very close eye on you for both flare ups and if you’re still in pain. 

One of the few times he’ll go against Luffy.

Like, if Luffy wants to play with you or do something stupid or whatever, he’ll totally throw Luffy overboard or something (If Nami doesn’t beat him to it).

Being a reindeer (and therefore an animal), he understands how this can happen.

[celestemagnoliathewriter]

Hey, I always enjoy reading your work, when I get free time. Which usually is late at night due to insomnia 😆 😰 but no biggie, I’d rather get lost with your words than lose myself in depression 🥺🥺

if you don’t mind could you do the kiss ask for Tedromeda?

Kiss ask 2) goodbye

You can make it fluffy dovey 😍😍 bring on happiness!

Or

you can rip my heart out with angst 😭, yeah I enjoy the pain

This is so kind of you! I've had a trying week and getting messages like this makes my life so much better.

#2 on the kiss ask list was actually goodnight, but since you put goodbye and were willing to take the angst...MUAHAHAHA. I have provided an angsty Tedromeda goodbye kiss below (will be on AO3 later!). Set during Deathly Hallows.

...

It’s the dead of the night and Andromeda’s body is shaking. She thinks it’s the aftereffects of the Cruciatus Curse, or perhaps the Death Eaters have returned to finish what they started. She gasps and sits up, snatching her wand, but no one is in the bedroom.

Not even Ted. 

With a whispered “Lumos,” she tiptoes to the door. Soft snores seep through the walls, signaling her son-in-law’s rest. Nymphadora’s broken, incomprehensible sleep-babbling punctuates the gaps in Remus’s breathing. Ted is still nowhere to be found.

Andromeda notices the dim light shining on their worn sofa. It’s coming from the kitchen, and when she steps inside, her heart rises and falls with the sight.

He’s stuffing a tin of biscuits into a rucksack. 

“Ted,” she murmurs, her voice cracking in pain.

“‘Dromeda.” He’s gruff and she sees through him. He wants to be strong for her like he’s always been.

“We can find a way.”

Ted’s jaw is clenched and his shoulders tense. “If it was just the two of us—”

“—but it isn’t,” she finishes quietly. Andromeda never thought she’d see the day when their lives would be threatened like this. The second war accomplished what the first couldn’t; their family was finally being torn apart.

“I left a letter for her—for them.”

She places her hand on her husband’s stubbled cheek. His bright blue eyes are uncharacteristically sorrowful and Andromeda’s heart is aching. They said goodbye, once, thinking it would be forever. She can only hope this time he’ll come back to her as he did before. 

“You’ll be careful.” 

It isn’t a question. It isn’t a request. This is an order—no, a demand, she thinks, which is a rarity in their quarter-century-old marriage. 

“I always am,” he says, but the burn mark on his forearm tells a different story. He almost closes the space between them, letting his lips hover over hers. “I’ll come back.”

“You better,” she threatens, trying to ease the tension between them. He chuckles weakly and presses his mouth to hers.

“You know I can’t stay away from you.” His whisper against her skin is too much; she wants him one last time before he goes. 

“I’ll come back,” he repeats. “This won’t be goodbye forever, ‘Dromeda. It’s see-you-soon.”

The lump grows in the back of her throat. She doesn’t trust herself to say anything without crying. If this is their last moment together, she won’t let it end with tears.

His mouth finds hers and she leans on him for support, clutching the front of his robes, trying to memorize the feel of his warm lips, his stubble against her cheek, and the clean, comforting scent of Ted Tonks in the morning. Her hands traverse a well-worn path and stop at his hips. She’s not above enjoying him in the kitchen, but Nymphadora and Remus are upstairs and the sun is rising.

“I love you, Andromeda,” Ted tells her, cupping her cheek and brushing a tear away with his thumb. “I’ve got to go.”

He embraces her, and before the sun’s rays can fully take away the darkness, he’s gone. 

ship kiss asks

[alphinias]

Girlie due to known circumstances i am needing a new hyper fixation! Do you have any recs? (From shows that are still running might be better since i probably have seen most finished shows 😅)

Also did you start fire country?? If so, is there any good ship? I’m kinda interested since i do like firefighter shows (if you are not into 911/buddie fandom i would recommend that struggle at least for the sheer amount of good fics lol)

Oh trust me if I had found a new hyperfixation on a still running show yet yall would never hear the end of it 🥲 I need one too, so badly. I feel far too normal about everything and it’s like who am I? The only thing I really have is Percabeth on pjo so definitely recommend that if you haven’t watched yet. It’s just a different type of hyperfixation since we already know what happens. Bellyconrad from tsitp but I’m sure you’ve watched that. And I recommend the artful dodger which miraculously just got renewed for a second season! It’s not as much of a hyperfixation for me but the ship was a really good buzz and the show is genuinely good.

I haven’t started fire country yet! It’s on the list alongside rivals. I did start rescue hi surf which I enjoy but am not hyperfixated on. There’s a ship I’d get behind in a heartbeat with the right scenes but right now it’s too crackshippy even for me to put too much energy in. I see the vision but I won’t scream about it until I’m even a little convinced the writers do.

I have friends in the 911 fandom! I can’t lie, it seems like a bunch of pain so I’ve stayed away haha. I will consider it if I get increasingly desperate.

I’ve been on an actual book reading kick so I guess that’s my current hyperfixation stand in, but I can’t even find a book series to really brainrot me either. The last real book brainrot I had was once upon a broken heart over a year ago 😭

[m1ckeyb3rry]

Someone gift me baby karasu with a bow that’s the only thing I’ll ever reply with when people ask me what I want LMAOO

I def wanna see them pro but something about seeing the pro would also feel bittersweet to me somehow?? Idk like now that they’re pro we KNOW it’s over but errrr idk I don’t have a better solution HAHA im ngl I was into kuroko no basket for awhile but it was way after it ended and I almost died with how the fandom was kinda inactive and lack of content im just glad that since BLLK is ongoing now it won’t be as barren lolol

I would tell you to search it up but you’re gonna wanna burn your eyes after…I only heard of it via booktok (Idek how I landed there because I don’t rlly read that much now either nor do I interact or follow any book accs? Thank god I’m out now I wonder if maybe some ppl just went viral) but oh my god why would you think of writing such a thing??? I honestly don’t have an issue with dark content either since I think it allows more exploration of deeper topics sometimes but idek the door and pillow thing wasn’t even dark topic it’s just..??? ???????? ????? I don’t know what to say but you’re on the dot with weird smut

Im hopeful that s2 will def get things going again!!! Like pls fill up Ao3 too like why’s there nothing there.

You’re so right….a very good choice on your end LMAO he def doesn’t fit the arranged marriage trope as well and his canon ninja background was the perfect set up for this!!!

OOOO IM EXCITED LMAOAOA can’t wait to see tabieitaken hollyhock au style…

OOOOOO WAIT THATS SO COOL?!?! On my toes waiting for the next installment o7 (also for whatever reason I think it’s so funny when people go [redacted] I laughed so hard maybe my humors broken)

Oops I meant the cursed child trope in the sense that everyone (or those around them) believe in it LMAOAO I think it’s more interesting when people around them buy into that myth and make their life hard as opposed to just flat out actual misfortune whoopsie

KARASU APPEARANCE no because I was thinking too like…is Mira gonna add Karasu…or are we omitting for the sake of keeping karasu a main lead type of thing…LMAO can’t wait though!!!

-Karasu anon

BABY KARASU W A BOW all i want for christmas is HIM!! he’s just a princess fr i love him sm

watching a fandom slowly die after the source material ends is the WORST at least the anime/epinagi are much further behind from the main manga so it’ll be a while before it’s over!! some series do stay generally popular even afterwards so hopefully bllk is one of those 👆🏻

HELP I JUST LOOKED UP THE PILLOW ONE WTF 😭 that’s not even dark that’s just bizarre…where are these people getting their ideas from 😔

i feel like jjk also blew up heavily with season 2 coming out (although tbf it was already hugely popular) so i think (hope) bllk will be the same!! obv not to the same extent as jjk because whatever is going on there is like unprecedented levels of popularity but for sure i do think more people will get into it now that more characters will be there and there’ll be more content

YES like otoya being a lord or highborn just doesn’t have the right ring to it!! he’s too unserious i could not see him being dignified or dutiful esp not in an arranged marriage scenario where he doesn’t even care abt his wife that much. karasu or yukimiya 100% (more so yuki but karasu could make it work i think). ninjas tended to be lowborn/peasants too so it’ll be interesting to juxtapose him and y/n + show him interacting with a lot of the characters who ARE more noble (y/n, yuki, etc).

TABIEITAKEN HOLLYHOCK AU MY FAVORITE MORALLY GREY ASSHOLES 💖 there is not one good person in that fic (except maybe anri) just some characters you do root for and some you don’t HAHA i’m excited for all of the reveals and character development i think it’s going to be sooo fun

YESS it’ll be clearer once i finish the story where i got my inspiration from. i love drawing from history as an inspiration!! like ofc i’m not going to go word for word but it’s nice to have something that i can reference if needed and build my own plot off of. i def think it makes hollyhock unique…like a) it’s a fic w OTOYA as the main love interest (not the usual suspects itoshi bros) and also it’s set in a relatively unusual setting + is engaging with a generally overlooked aspect of that time period. like forget being a weak lady who falls in love w her arranged marriage husband 🥱 y/n is scheming plotting killing etc etc (or at least she will be eventually). i love mcs who are just a little Not Normal and i really think this y/n is like that!! as shown when she was completely willing to sacrifice her half brother if it meant living. like yes 100% he’s an ass but also girl that’s still an entire life you do NOT gaf abt 😭 omg and otoya when he heard her say that…bro realized he had finally found someone to match his 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴 💖 truly the otp we all never needed

ooh yes i do think y/n is a victim of that trope while she’s staying w the hiiragis!! although as much of it is just them hating on her because they hate that she’s such an embarrassment to them…i’m excited to show how other characters (otoya and co) react to the circumstances that make the hiiragis hate her!! it’ll def be interesting (and also a lot of it is based in actual japanese mythology/tradition…despite my disclaimer i actually do enjoy researching and sprinkling in details like that!! i just had that in there in case some historian type of person came to my comments freaking out abt how something or another isn’t accurate 😭)

i feel like karasu HAS to be there HAHAHA it truly wouldn’t be otoya if his bestie isn’t present especially since yuki exists in-universe too!! he’s also going to be super important to the story but it will break my heart knowing that things w him will never be romantic 😔 though honestly “romantic” is a stretch even for y/n’s eventual relationship w eita 😰 it will be intense and passionate and pining and many other such things but unfortunately with all of the political nonsense they’re up to (unifying the warring states and whatnot) there won’t be too much time for a healthy proper relationship. long story short expect a slow burn 😈

ALSO BTW I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE INVESTED IN THE STORY writing fics for random characters is sooo hard sometimes because there’s usually not a lot of engagement/feedback 🤒 as long as i have even one reader who likes to yap w me i can usually manage it though so i am very grateful for you bae 🫶🏻 doing the otoya nation a great service

[aajjks]

he was her only lover 💔😭

BC!JK

this is strange yet comforting and in all honesty, you needed a hug. maybe not from jungkook but you’ll take a hug over no hug. strangely, you feel secure in jungkook’s broad arms and as he continues to hold you he asks if you want to leave, which you do but where will you go?

you and your family aren’t that close so for most of your life, you’ve been on your own. even in college you were on your own and although you’re drowning in student debt, there was still a diamond in the rough.

you pulled through but heartbreak isn’t something you thought would be on the list. all you want to do is go home, listen to jhené aiko’s wasted love on repeat, eat cookie and cream ice cream, and cry yourself to sleep. maybe watch bridgerton and cry some more about how unlucky your love life is.

you just can’t believe this is happening. you can’t believe this is real and now you’re crying about it all over again because this. really. HURTS. you can’t help but feel embarrassed in front of jungkook because he’s watching and comforting you through it all.

when you FINALLY get yourself together, you quietly whimper “yeah, i want to leave so i can cry in peace”

“we have to swing past our, well, his place first so i can pack some of my stuff. i gotta stay at a hotel for awhile” you say as you pull away from jungkook to get yourself together and wipe your face again.

once your vision is clear, you see the wet patch on jungkook’s shirt and you suddenly feel really bad because he looks so nice and you just ruined it with your salty tears and runny nose.

“oh my gosh, i am so sorry. i didn’t mean to do that. i’ll buy you another shirt” you say as you try to wipe it off but you’re just smearing it which makes it worse. you’re such a mess that you can’t even clean jungkook’s shirt up properly.

yeah, you’re definitely going to buy some ice cream and cry yourself to sleep in your hotel room tonight.

tomorrow you can worry about an apartment, tonight, you just want to cry and wallow in your heartbreak but there’s a certain someone with other plans and various ideas on how to mend your broken heart.

You’re literally so cute.

You just got your heartbroken and you’re concerned about his shirt? Aw, Jungkook swoons at your concern, your heart is still hurting, and your mascara is starting to run, yeah, you still look so pretty.

And when you mention staying at a hotel, he’s quick to shake his head, of course he’s not gonna let you stay in a hotel when he’s there. “Yn…. You know what I’ll take you by his apartment so you can pack up your stuff and…. You won’t stay in a hotel OK?” He caress your cheek…. Staring into your eyes with love and care.

He’s actually a little shocked, that you didn’t reject his hug. Guess luck is really on his side…. Jungkook internally Thanks God for this opportunity and he’s not gonna let it go to waste.

“I have a great house by the way… it is too big for just one person you know, and I literally live alone, so why don’t you just come and stay with me until you find a place of your own of course- no cost and you get free food.” He winks, joking.

Of course he’s gonna make you stay with him so you’ll get a little bit used to him, and he can use this time to charm his way into your heart, and he knows that it is going to take some time because you just got your heartbroken, and it will take some time for you to move on but he’s going to be there for you…

And he’s gonna make sure that you fall for him.

“Sweetheart, what do you say?” He smiles, “i would love your company.” Jungkook is not really aware of your relationship with your parents or your family but he can tell it it’s not too great because you never mentioned your parents.. or even the idea of staying with them so this is a really good thing for him.

“please stay with me yn.”

you get the call in the middle of your date, your phone ringing from the inside of your bag.

your date, johan from your poli-sci class, pauses from his ramblings, his voice trailing off as the comfortable buzz between the two of you is broken by the familiar ringtone of your phone.

you shoot him an apologetic gaze and he just shakes his head with a gentle chuckle, understanding shining from his eyes before he turns to his drink – lemon snaps, of all things – to give you privacy. you fumble for your blaring phone, your brows furrowed in displeasure as you fish it out, only to feel something akin to a cold shower dousing you as you see the name.

you freeze, steady hands beginning to tremble as you continue to stare at the caller ID: si <3

“…won’t you answer that?” johan asks, ripping you from the startling silence of your thoughts.

“huh?” you say unintelligibly, your mind still reeling over, before you blink the haze away and focus on johan, seeing his pretty eyes watching you with worry.

oh, johan.

“yeah, uh, no, actually. it’s no one important, really.”

the stammer of your speech clearly didn’t slip from his notice but johan doesn’t probe, noting the sudden discomfort lining your body, and nods distractedly.

the ringing of your phone stops, finally, and you feel a whole lot lighter at simon’s absence. you place your phone on the table, turned over so that it’s facing down, still, johan’s eyes flick to it, teeth nibbling his bottom lip.

your fingers twitch, ready to pluck it out and stuff it back in your clutch, but it blares again, ringing and vibrating. johan shoots you a pointed look and you smile, pinched lips, before finally answering the call.

“can’t talk right now-”

“y’look good in that dress, baby.”

simon’s words make you breathe in sharply, the simmering dread snuffed out as your heart lodges itself in your throat, taking its rightful space every time simon calls you; every time simon comes looking for you – a pretence of his loyalty, one that pushes you to make a fool out of yourself. your chest feels airy, bubbling with desire and confusion, your stomach flipping, and you wonder if johan can see the change in your aura. if he can see the way your eyes gloss over because of simon.

then, simon’s words sink in.

“what?”

simon laughs from the other end. “yeah,” he says. “walked into the restaurant with a date but i had to ditch her because, well, look at you, sweetheart. who needs her when i have someone here who likes me better? who knows me better?”

you lifted your head up and straightened your back in hopes of finding him past the throngs of people; your eyes jump between customers, skirting past walkways and shadowed corners, but he’s nowhere to be seen.

another tease. another moment where he’s lifted your hopes up for nothing.

“i can’t do this right now,” you mumble as you sag back down into your seat, turning your head away from johan’s worried eyes.

simon hums, the sound falling flat, and your fingers twitch at the quiet disappointment tinging his voice.

“‘course you can, darling. y’r a big girl – surely you can manage a phone call, yeah?”

“i’m busy, si,” you reply, flicking your up eyes at johan, startling when you see him looking back at you already. johan continues to watch you with worry and you shake your head at him lightly, hoping he won’t probe after this impossible phone call.

(you know you won’t stay long enough for a conversation after this.)

“can’t you ditch ‘im for me, baby?”

that rips out a muted gasp from your lips, the sound tumbling into the table and piercing through the static within the line of the call. you hear the change in simon’s voice, the pathetic whispers turning into elated rumblings because he already knows that you will. he knows that you really can’t deny him of anything.

but you’re moving too slow for his liking so he adds, “i missed you.”

“oh,” you say because what else is there to say? “…okay.”

“s’my good girl,” simon purrs. “i’ll wait for you from across the street by the coffeehouse, yeah? see you soon, love.”

the call drops, a sharp click ringing, before silence.

your heart is hammering in your chest, thudding against the creaking of your ribs, and you look at johan as your hand falls to the table.

“johan, i-” the words feel like knives as they edge up into your throat. johan stays silent, patiently waiting for the inevitable end. “i have to go, i’m sorry.”

he nods and attempts a kind smile. it doesn’t quite reach his eyes. “i see.”

“i’ll pay for the tab-”

“don’t worry,” he replies, reaching out a hand to place it on top of your loosely-closed fist, his palm gently striking the back of your phone. “i got it.”

you nod softly, not knowing what else to say. he watches as you pack your phone into your bag and slip your coat on before sliding out of the booth.

you lick your lips, noting how dry it is, before murmuring, “i had fun today.”

johan laughs, the sound so empty of humour. then, just as quietly, he says, “me too.” he stares at you for a second longer. “see you on monday?”

you nod. “see you.”

you turn and walk out of the restaurant, johan’s sad eyes fading from your mind as the cool air hits your face, reminding you why you’re leaving the cozy restaurant in the first place.

you melt into your coat, hunching your shoulders in a futile attempt at coaxing more warmth to engulf you, before making your way towards crosswalk. you try to keep the excitement at bay as you stroll along the shops, packed with customers who are hoping to escape the cool air, but how could you ever contain yourself?

it’s simon.

(you think of his name as though it is a prayer – a plea – dripping with reverence and weight. laughable, isn’t it? how you think simon may love you back?)

you see him standing outside of the coffeehouse, waiting, and the elation – the one that filled you up until it threatened to spit your heart out – fades into a stuttering silence. because he’s waiting outside. and you already know what he wants.

“baby,” is all he says before closing the distance between the two of you, his hand coming up to swipe at your hair and cup your cheek, his thumbs sliding just underneath your eyes. you feel him wipe some of your makeup off but he continues to just look at you with those crinkled eyes and that little smile and you wonder, gods you never stop wondering, if maybe he wants you for something else.

something that isn’t temporary.

“hey,” you murmur back, ducking your eyes down as the intensity of his attention reduces you back into a state of fumbling and shyness.

simon chuckles, a sound so adoring it almost fooled you.

“wanna take this somewhere else?” he asks even though the two of you already know the answer.

you give him a short nod, your eyes still trained to your shoes, and you hear, more than see, the way he bends down before feeling his lips press on the top of your head.

your eyes flutter close as the emotions spill over because, surely, this means something to him too?

———

warm palms tear off your tights, the echoing rips making you hiccup. you fist at the sheets, watching as simon fixes himself between your legs, chapped lips trailing hot kisses along the inside of your thighs.

he flicks his eyes up at you and they crinkle, full of mirth, and you don’t even have to see his lips to know he is smirking.

“beautiful,” simon whispers, his voice packed with affection that it tickles the core of your heart and spreads through your veins like fire. he huffs a fond laugh, nosing along the pudge of your muscle. “beautiful and mine.”

you nod with a quiet ragged gasp and simon coos at your response. “‘s right,” he says. “all mine.”

the way he drags your panties off is teasingly slow but simon looks far gone, existing in a bubble of drawing out the moment until you are splintering from the pleasure – you know how he does it, you remember it well after all. still, you let out a whine, hoping that it’d tug at his heartstrings and make him move faster.

it doesn’t. simon just lets out a pleased chuckle. “shh, baby. i’ve got you.”

you trust him with your pleasure, gods you even foolishly trust him with your heart, so you nod, letting go of the sheets to brush at the beautiful strands of his hair, making him purr.

“feels good?” you ask, wincing at hearing the croak of your voice.

simon hums, the sound pressed on your skin, his eyes slipping shut for a moment.

you wish he could be just as vulnerable in front of you without having the need to fuck you, but simon has fully removed your panties from your heat, sliding them off your legs, before chucking them behind him.

you hiss at the touch of cool air against your pussy, your muscles jolting at the new feeling. simon shushes you gently again, careful as he climbs up higher, folding your legs over your chest, until all that you are is exposed to him.

“si…” you say, breath hitching at the smile he shoots at you – it is all so kind, so boyishly charming, and you feel pinpricks building in the back of your eyes, your heart squeezing with the intensity of your feelings.

“i’ve got you,” he repeats. a promise, one that is only fulfilled tonight, but simon gazes at you as though he means it. “i always will, sweetheart.”

the first kiss is soft, brushing his lips against your own. no rush, no heat, just breaths being passed to each other, like you two only exist in this moment. and it is here that the tears fall, trickling from the corners of your eyes and staining your cheeks.

you rasp a hitching breath, one that simon returns, and the kiss turns into a fervid tangle, nipping teeth and claiming lips twining until you don’t know where you end and where he begins.

he holds your hands when he finally slides his cock into you, slow thrusts pushing more and more of him until his pelvis is flushed against yours. you mewl and whimper, feeling light headed from the fullness in your heat, every length of his cock pressing against the warm walls of your pussy.

simon dives down to kiss you, swallowing your gasps and moans and exchanging them with his own. you twitch and mewl, your back lifting off of the bed, and simon’s there to catch them all. tenderly caressing you, making love to you.

“si! si!” you cry, not knowing what else to say. not knowing how else to tell him of your pleasure. of your love.

“my love, my baby, all mine,” simon responds, pressing his grunts on your collarbone, muffling himself. his teeth leave marks on your skin, claiming you for himself again.

like you could ever be someone else’s.

his hand toys with your clit, rubbing and pinching, while the other keeps holding onto your own – warm palm against warm palm, thick fingers locked with bony ones.

he is so clingy. so greedy. always touching a sliver of your skin, desperately rutting his cock into you, licking a hungry stripe on your tits before sucking on your nipples all needy.

it’s too intense – his love making. his love.

“simon, i-!” you squeal, heels digging into the sheets. “i- i love-!”

your pleasure builds, tipping, before spilling over into a euphoric razing. your eyes roll into the back of your head, your lips parting for a silent scream, and simon moans at feeling your walls spasm around his cock.

good. so good!

(but what you wanted to say was—…)

simon cums in you, hot splashes making you squeak, your muscles tensing at the overstimulation. simon kisses apologies on your skin, nuzzling his nose along your throat.

he lifts his head up and bumps his forehead on yours. “so good to me, baby. so fuckin’ good to me.”

“simon, i-”

“shh,” he murmurs, pressing his lips on yours. you know this one isn’t a kiss, or not one anymore. “i know.”

oh.

“oh,” you repeat out loud, looking straight at him, blurry vision be damned.

simon wraps you in his arms as though it is a good alternative to hearing the words you wish he would say. you bury your face on his chest, and the two of you pretend that you have stopped crying.

———

simon doesn’t drop you off.

his love ended the moment he came in you. sure you two bathed together, and he helped you out with the body soap, and he tied your shoes for you – kissing your bare thigh as an apology for your ruined tights – but that was it.

no love. no truth behind the softness.

“bye, simon,” you mumble, your fist loose around the door handle. a part of you hopes he’ll call your name and plead for you to stay. plead for you to just exist in this hotel room with him. no pretences, no labels.

just you and simon.

but simon just leans on the wall and smiles at you, detached and distant once again.

“bye, kid,” he says.

not baby. not sweetheart. not darling or love or his sweet girl.

just, ‘kid’.

you turn around and pull the door open, stepping into the empty hallway. the door swings behind you silently, before thudding against the door frame, and clicking as it automatically locks.

and just like that, it’s over.

another waiting game. another foolish mistake.

you bite your bottom lip to stop the tears before marching away from the door, hoping that the sounds of your shoes against the worn out carpet echo in the room that you are leaving, and that it haunts simon too.

———

(he is invited over to your home for your parent’s dinner party in the following week. curled by his side is a beautiful girl, one who isn’t any older than you are.

johan holds your hand as you introduce him to your parents as your date.

you ignore simon’s piercing eyes as you and johan leave for a separate date, somewhere that simon wouldn’t be able to reach this time.)

oh but i enjoyed wring this one too much

---

She furiously plucked off the delicate white feathers.

One by one.

You shuddered helplessly with each pluck.

Your eyes were red, your body weakening. You felt the slipperiness of blood tricking down your feathery extensions.

Remorse was undetected. You wondered if she enjoyed this.

“One day, you’ll be free. One day, you won’t be a monster anymore.”

Her gentle voice contrasted with her pain inducing actions brought great confusion to you.

You closed your eyes and bit back your whimpers.

Maybe she was right.

Maybe you were a monster.

---

“This is fine, everything is fine, I’ll be able to do this,” Kate whispered to herself, looking up her university building.

“Kate! You’ve got to be more careful for goodness sake! You’d definitely get kicked off the archery team if you get caught.”

“I know that, but a bet’s a bet, Greer!” Kate gritted her teeth, finally reaching the top and dusting herself off, “I’ll just do this and leave right-“

She startled herself when she noticed a lonely form on top of the roof already.

Snow fell down in steady waves.

You hold yourself tightly in the cold and twist your neck to see who was disrupting your alone time.

Dull eyes met piercing blue ones.

Kate couldn’t bring herself to speak. She just stared at you.

There was something ethereal about how you looked, about your mere presence itself.

She felt herself gravitating towards you naturally.

“Kate! Kate? Kate, are you there!”

Kate blinked out of her trance and hurried to end the call, awe still fresh in the way she looked at you.

You furrowed your brows, it felt…different from the way your mother looked at you.

“Kate,” you whispered finally, and the archer’s heart beat out of her chest.

“Yeah,” she wasn’t used to feeling speechless but she was.

“What are you doing up here?” the dull eyes bored into her again, all vulnerability being thrown down the drain. Kate was surprised by the sudden change of tone.

“W-What are you doing up here?“ she replied accusatorially, “And how did you get up here?”

Your brain jammed for a second before you came up with an excuse, “Same way you did.”

“You…climbed up here?”

Fuck.

You didn’t seem like you climbed up there, physically you looked much more tidy than the archer, and much less drained of energy.

“Yeah,” you answered simply, returning to your book, “…”

Kate shifted in her space, wondering if she should say something or do something. The girls probably went back to their dorms.

But she didn’t want to leave. She couldn’t.

Her dad used to tell her that when you meet someone who would change your life forever, you would just…feel it.

So she went and sat down next to you.

You glared at her, the pencil in your tight grasp stopping.

“You draw? My cousin loves to draw, but I can’t. I think everything I draw looks like a chicken, not that chickens are horrible creatures, they’re actually really cute and I have seen live ones before, you know, on a farm, I don’t literally own any. But when I was young, I really loved Chicken Little-“

And she rambled on and on and on about…chickens.

Your glare faded away and was replaced by raised eyebrows.

There was no fucking way she was talking to you like a normal person. Everyone always treated you differently. Your mother and your relatives would look at you with contempt, store owners would look at you weirdly, and the people in school avoided you like the plague, nasty rumours floating around. Like you were a vampire or a serial killer (what the fuck right).

There’s no way this super girl hadn’t heard of any of the rumours.

You stayed quiet, listening intently (surprising yourself really, but you found her entertaining). Soon, you didn’t realise it, but you started drawing her.

Each pencil dash contributed to the art you were drawing, having a knack for it since you were a child.

Kate stopped rambling in a little while when she saw that you’re were drawing again, and when she noticed you weren’t stopping, she leaned closer.

You were drawing her. Holy shit. It looked wonderful.

“Wow, you’re- you’re amazing!” Kate exclaimed pleasantly, staring at the process of your drawing.

You heard what she said, and you halted completely.

Kate saw something different in your eyes this time. She couldn’t put a name to it.

“What did you say?” you asked hesitantly.

Kate stared at the drawing once more, resolve washing over her.

She wanted to know you.

“You’re amazing.”

---

And that was where your friendship with THE Kate Bishop started.

Time spent with her made you happier, more care free, and you smiled a lot more.

Dull eyes became bright staring into hers.

You went through all that bullshit with her, the whole Ronin situation, the whole Clint situation, and the Yelena situation.

You and her marked it off as situations instead of problems became Kate said that you needed more optimism (yeah, you don’t get it either).

Notable moments where your friendship reached its peak.

1. “Why the fuck are you wearing that?"

"There's people in trouble, and they can't know my identity!"

"THERE’S ALSO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KILL YOU FOR THAT SUIT.”

2. “I don’t like this guy."

" What are you talking about? He’s great!"

"Great if you wanna get scammed.”

3. “She’s cool. I like her."

"Oh, so you think Clint is suspicious and you think she’s cool when she wants to kill me and literally broke into my house?"

"Yes. And?”

Clint had a hard time with the both of you, but you and Kate helped each other along the way.

You helped her get her mom arrested too (that was fun).

“Are “ur mom” jokes sensitive to you now?”

“y/n, I swear to god.”

Sometimes you felt like she would run away. Leave you behind.

Kate never ever gave you a reason to believe that because she was always there.

And you were too.

---

“Can you believe just a year later we’re becoming avengers!?”

You smiled at the younger girl’s enthusiasm, nodding with what she said, “No, I can’t. Especially since they wanted me too.”

“Of course they want you, what do you mean?” Kate questioned playfully, buttoning your jacket for you, the weather being a little chilly today.

You winced.

She never wanted you.

“Nothing, just something from my past,” you dismissed nonchalantly, causing Kate to look at you with concern.

“Hey,” she said gently, cupping your cheek with one hand, pushing your face until it was aligned and only inches away from hers, “You’ll be okay.”

Tears pricked your eyes for the first time in a while and you nodded weakly, “Thank you.”

Kate never forced you to tell her anything.

So she never knew about your wings, and you never used them around her.

But you’re afraid. The avengers were definitely going to find out, and going to make you use them. However, you were doing this for her. And even if they knew, she didn’t have to know…right?

“You’re welcome, Banjo,” she joked, grabbing her own coat.

“I said your name wrong ONCE! You were the one who wrote it like that!”

“Are you saying I have bad handwriting?!”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

—

You were right.

A few of them did somehow already know about your wings, and you were required to use them as an avenger.

You never had trouble using it to get out of tough situations or for traveling quickly, far more quicker than an automobile (kate often asked questions but you deflected them).

This was...helping people, with the very things you despised about yourself.

The avengers wanted to assign mentors to you and Kate, Kate already had Clint, so to your great surprise, THE Natasha Romanoff volunteered to be yours. Kate was estatic for you, and you just grew more nervous by the second.

But Natasha was kind. The kindest person you had ever met. She was gentle but firm in the way she dealt with you and your training, and she was the first one to know about the trauma surrounding your wings.

She understood and took it much better than you thought she would. The first thing she did when you told her was hug you tightly, telling you that you were beautiful in every way and aspect. You sobbed after the longest time in her warm and comforting embrace.

You loved her. She was like the mother figure you never had. And she protected you like you were her own child. She presented such a stark contrast from your mother, and besides trusting Clint, Yelena, and Kate, you trusted Natasha too.

Day by day, she helped you love your wings. They were a powerful part of you, and they were something you had to live with for the rest of your life.

It was hard. It was difficult to accept that you weren't a monster, when that was your birth mother's mantra. You were still working on it.

"I'm afraid."

Natasha looked at you fondly.

"I know."

You bundled up the rest of the oversized sweater Natasha gave you and burried your face in it.

"You don't have to tell her anything," Natasha reassured you, "Not if you're not ready."

"I..have to tell her," you shook your head, "I love her. She needs to know."

"About which one?"

"Which one?" you questioned, furrowing your eyebrows at your mentor's knowing smirk.

"About your wings? Or that you love her?"

You screamed softly into the sweater that was muffling the noise, and Natasha laughed deeply.

"Both," you mumbled, looking up at Natasha, and your lips twitch up at her proud gaze.

"She'll love you just the same."

---

The redhead also covinced you to take your wings on another test run on your own.

You got up today feeling better, having had breakfast with Kate before she went off to training, and getting one final pep talk from Natasha.

You shook your head and arms vigorously before fluffing your wings to it's full length. They shone in the sunshine, and you felt a little bit of pride swell in your chest for once. You were beginning to love them.

"Well, now or never!" you mumbled to yourself, trying to build courage.

Then you bent your knees and jumped as high as you could, your wings batting themselves in the air and lifting you higher.

---

"Where is y/n?" Kate asked Clint impatiently, having just finished training and wanting to see her best friend as soon as possible.

"Your girlfriend? Beats me," Clint teased, packing up his arrows and bow, eliciting a blush on Kate's end, "She's not my girlfriend."

"Couldn't have fooled me, kid," Clint shrugged, "And I don't know, I think you should find Natasha."

"Alright! See ya!" before Clint could say goodbye, she had run off faster than Sonic the Hedgehog.

"Young love," Clint sighed to himself, thinking about Laura, "Now I feel old."

Kate had indeed went to Natasha who welcomed her into her room when she asked about you.

"Do you know where she is?" Kate inquired, confused because she hadn't seen you anywhere.

"I don't know, kid," Natasha genuinely said, a hand placed under her chin in thought, "Maybe check upstairs? That was the last time I saw her."

---

Flying was truly one of your favorite things now.

You never felt freer, more accepted, than you were in the sky. The tender clouds, the paradisical colours, and the gushing wind, all pumped adreanaline in you.

You hung around the avengers' tower, looking over every window, and waving at Tony and Bruce, who both smiled at you, Bruce with concern, however, and Tony in fascination.

You flew back to the very same roof and stayed in the sky for a bit, just enjoying the breeze.

"y/n?" you hear a surprised voice.

You jolted, fear piercing through you.

You turned hesitantly, and saw the last person you wanted to see.

Kate.

Staring at you in awe like she did when you met.

You let yourself touch the ground.

You hung your head in shame, standing completely still, refusing to meet her eyes like you always did.

You didn't want to see the disgust in her eyes that mirrored your mother's.

"You have wings," Kate whispered to herself, walking over to you.

"y/n?" she called you, slowly reaching over to hold your hand, "Hey, are you okay?"

"I'm sorry."

Those two words, spoken with such vulnerability and pain, broke Kate.

"Stop it," she said firmly, "Don't be sorry. You didn't have to tell me."

"But it was important," you whimpered, "I just wanted you to know."

You told her all about your past right then and there, your emotions more controlled than when you talked about it with Natasha, but you almost choked a few times, the air felt suffocating.

Kate was quiet, much quieter than usual, and you held your breath.

"Where is she?" Kate gritted her teeth with contempt, "Your mother."

"I don't...know," you truthfully answered, "I ran away."

Enough explanation was said, and you were drained, unable to tell her any more.

Kate wrapped her arms around you immediately.

"You're the furtherest thing from a monster," she assured you, her voice breaking slightly, "You're the person I look up to the most."

"Really?"

"Yes, you're kind, stubborn, implusive, thoughtful," Kate pressed her forehead against yours with finality, "You're just a normal person. With wings. But you're just like everyone else."

You blinked away tears, and Kate whispered once again.

"I love you."

"I love you too," you loved the warmth that was emitting from her.

"Can I kiss you, or were you talking about a different type of love?" Kate interrupted the moment awkwardly and you burst into laughter.

Amidst your laughter, you kissed her, and she smiled into the kiss, a laugh bubbling inside of her too. When you broke apart, you giggled uncharacteristically when Kate kissed you everywhere and anywhere on your face, the last kiss on your nose making a blush find it's way onto your cheeks.

"If you told me two years ago that you would be giggling because of me I would've never believed it," Kate leaned her forehead on yours again, loving how grounded it made her feel, "You're perfect to me."

Perfection.

That was what your mother had tried to pursue and failed.

You think you succeeded instead.

"And that's enough," you muttered.

She ran her fingertips over your wings affectionately.

One by one.

You shivered with each adoring touch.

---

You were not a monster.

[taelonsamada]

Moments that made me scream (literally)

Two years had passed already since Tank had come back, and he still hadn’t been able to summon the courage to speak to them about that fight. Every morning, he’d woken up and told himself today was the day to apologize, to admit he’d been an idiot, an ass and a stupid kid. And every morning, as soon as he’d laid eyes on Tank and had seen the barely contained hatred they’d shot at him, he’d chickened out. Unable to handle the thought of them exploding at him.

Poor deveyyyyy😭😭

He knew they were right; if this kept up any longer, he’d lose Tank forever. It wasn’t on Tank to make that first move, that first attempt to repair things. He was the one who’d broken them. He had to be the one to fix it.

Go angel go~~

"I'm sorry"

AAAAAAAAA.... AAAA.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

“You are a Shaw. You are every bit a Shaw as much as I am. You have just as much of a right to be here as I do. You are family. My family. And I’m so fucking grateful that you’re here.”

LORD HELP ME-

It made them want to climb over the center console and bite him.

idk why i wanted to do that.... maybe to pay for a 15 years of stupidity-

+ all davey and angel senses cuz they make me feel fuzzy

ALL THE HUGSSS😭❤❤❤

DAVID DIDN'T WANNA JOIN THE GROUP 😭💔💔💔

also can amanda stay, don't wanna chrissy felling down in every AU out there🥺 i really see him as good man

LOL I do love a live reaction of sorts to updates like this 🥰 🫂

And don’t worry, there won’t be any Christian bashing in this XD an ample amount of teasing, obviously, but no hate lol I was bitter towards at first for his treatment of Asher, (and imperium didn’t help) but the more I listened to his (canon audios) the more I realized that he DOES have the good of the pack at heart, he’s just a bit of a butt about it LOL

And Amanda doesn’t work for Lupinos, but is definitely in the area lol (she and Christian have video dates whenever they can’t find the time to have actual proper dates. He wears a suit. It’s adorable)
