[yrrtyrrtwhenihrrthrrt]

Yanno something I don't think is explored nearly enough? Ambrosius's relationship with the Director, and I'm referring to both versions here because they're both interesting in both similar and different ways

For the movie version (I will talk about the comic version on this post too, don't you worry) first of all my pal @walrus150915 wrote an incredible fic exploring this for the NBB please go read it right fucking now, but moving on from that, Ambrosius arguably saw the Director as his mom, or at least a stand-in for his mom.

She was (or seemed to be) a nurturing but authoritative adult who guided him in the role he was supposed to fill. A lot of people like to write her as an overtly nasty bitch in pre-canon fics, and while I completely get that, let's not forget that Ballister, at the beginning of the movie, found it potentially believable that he was her favorite student. He was dumbfounded and devastated to see she had been the one to frame him, he couldn't believe it and never suspected her for a second. I'll talk more about Ballister's relationship with her in another post, but the point is this is an Oscar-winning actress, people!

Ambrosius had every reason to look up to her and believe she cared about him. And she went from (in his perspective) treating him with patience, kindness, sympathy and respect, to trying to MURDER HIM.

You don't just get over a parental figure doing something like that to you (then oh yeah, promptly fucking d y i n g). The pain, the loss of realizing someone you loved and trusted was never who you thought they were (after he'd been battling those same feelings about Ballister) and never really cared about you as a person, it would be devastatingly traumatic. Like poor guy what the fuck. He had to cope with that WHILST trying to repair his broken relationship Jesus Christ

And that's not even getting INTO the comic version, which I will be getting into now. There's a big difference between the two and I think that's in no small part due to the timeframe. C! Ambro has been under the Director's thumb a full 15 years longer than his counterpart. This gave her time to exert more control over him, and also gave him time to grow more aware of her behavior. M!Ambro and the Director have the relationship of a person and their (non-sexual) groomer, while C!Ambro's relationship with her is more overtly that of a person and their abuser.*

She's regularly seen threatening him, threatening to have his loved one (Ballister) killed if he doesn't obey her thereby forcing him to do things against his will (like murder a child), insulting him, and showing him absolutely zero sympathy or kindness, even when he's seriously harmed. I think Ambrosius would, by this point, know that the Director isn't a good person and that she doesn't love him, but she's had much more time to sink her claws into him.

He's not going to leave her. This life, being the Champion, working for her, it's all he knows, and it's all he has. Where is he going to go, back to Ballister? Ballister hates him (because the Director took measures to isolate Ambrosius from him) and he's worked for the Institution his whole life. He knows the Director is bad, but he still trusts her. This is the devil he knows, at least, so by the time the story takes place he at least feels confident that they have a mutual understanding.

I imagine it took time to get to this point. He saw her as a mentor and spent most of his life desperate for her approval. After the joust, I can only imagine this got worse. She was all he had, and he'd do anything to prove himself worthy of the championship title he knows deep down that he stole. He probably saw her as a real friend for a long time, no matter how obvious she made it that the feeling wasn't mutual, and that he'd have to try ever harder to earn her praise.

What I'm saying is this man spent fifteen years under the boot of his abuser, then after fifteen years of grooming and psychological abuse she threw him in the trash, stripped him of his title and everything he'd worked for, tried to have his lover executed, then fucking died. And NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT??? HELLOO?????

*this is not to say that M! Ambro's relationship with the Director was not abusive, it was, or that C! Ambro wasn't groomed, he was. Simply that for him, the grooming had more time to develop into overt, recognizable abuse.

Weaving threads of friendship (mostly platonic)

Refer to this post.

As the people requested, Hobie’s partner meeting Miles.

This one is significantly shorter than my last one partially cause I think this is pretty straightforward

From the moment Miles Morales heard of Hobie brown he didn’t know exactly how to feel about him

It happened in passing as he and Gwen had swung through the city

The first time since the collider incident that he had seen her, months of wondering if she was fine

If she and the others had made it back safe

And now as they go around city just like he had hoped if she mentions him

He couldn’t help but feel a twang of panic

Feelings he’s harboured for the blond that had been simmering for a long while coming to a bubbling uproar

Didn’t help as he pushed the subject and got in response that she had apparently been living with him

An ugly seed of envy sprouts it’s way into his gut at that

He can’t help but feel ashamed of it

This was Gwen, of course she found someone. She was the coolest person he knows

Someone who could do ballet while fighting villains

Plus was apart of some kickass band in her dimension

He honestly wouldn’t have been surprised if she was selling out stadiums

And if she wasn’t currently, then he fully expected that for her future

He should feel happy that she found someone

Happy that she was in a good place

Yet it’s hard to ignore that sprouting envy as his emotions are already high enough as it is when seeing her again

It doesn’t help when he meets Hobie though

Having a moment to prove himself and then suddenly having it quite literally dashed open

With a guitar no less

Doesn’t help that he was cool as hell

The studded black leather vest

Spike Mohawk

Doc Martin boots

British accent

Silver gleaming piercings

Miles knew he couldn’t compare to him

And by god did it hurt

From the moment Hobie saw miles he knew knew he’d like the accidental Spider-Man

It might be due to the fact that Miguel did NOT want him apart of the Spider regime

On the fact that him being Spider-Man went against canon

But it also had to do with the fact that he recognized how he looked at Gwen

It’s how Hobie looked at you

Sure, he couldn’t see under the mask but it was very glaringly obvious to Brit

That was the gaze of someone who was in a deep passionate love

Something akin to fizzling fireworks that popped off in the night

Pop rocks exploding on your tongue on a humid day

Sappy romantic shite that he once never thought he’d think of

Until he rapidly found himself staring at you with that same expression

It makes him chuckle a bit thinking back

How glaringly obvious he was with his feelings yet you couldn’t accept the signs

Not until he told you face to face

Good times

With that look he also sees a slight sadness with it as well

Miles occasionally glancing at him and then back to Gwen

The slight bitter taste Miles held in his voice when addressing him

But what…oh

That realization almost makes Hobie burst out in laughter

Poor lad is probably running circles in his head for nothing

He’s definitely gonna have to tell him

One the tour of the HQ Hobie lingers close by to the newbie

Hands on his pockets as Jessica leads to way to Miguel’s sulking area

With the lame and inconveniently slow office floor elevator

A perfect example of capitalism

He pulls Miles aside with an arm around his shoulder, making Mikes give a noise of complaint

Until Hobie pulled out a Polaroid from an inner pocket of his vest

In it was Hobie with another person

Both staring up at the camera as he gave them a kiss

Miles looks to him in confusion

“I thought you and-“

“Gwenivere? Nah mate. S’ just crashin at my place cause home ain’t the best for her right now.”

“And that’s?”

“Yeah, my partner in crime so to say. Should meet them sometime, they’d like ya”

“Really?”

“Gwen won’t stop talking bout you.”

Hobie stifles a laugh at Miles’s face

The look of surprise and Fluster washing over the young lad as he shoots a glance at Gwen

Who all the while remained obvious to his stare as he directs it to the ground once more

Hobie grabs a new piece of tech as he does this

Pocketing it as he did with many other nick-knacks he’d found and swiped

To be fair, if it’s not nailed to the ground real nice then it’s free territory for grabbing

Or well…that’s what he tells others anyways

The piles of scrap pilled up in both his home and your room is a testament to that

As was the prototypes of his own dimension hoping bracelet

When you met Miles you couldn’t help but be extremely excited as the young Spider-Man sat down on Hobie’s worn and old ripped leather couch

Gwen often talked of him

So now seeing him in person is a extremely fun experience especially since he’s awkward in a way that reminds you of your past self

Conversation starts off slow at first

Stuff mostly revolving around his universe

What he liked

Etcetera Etcetera

But what really gets talk happening is when he brings up drawing

In a life in which your surrounded by musically artistic people it’s nice to have someone with a new passion

So it’s safe to say he quickly ends up showing you his sketchbook

Carefully showing you pages of graffiti tags

Mural ideas

And a few that had Gwen that he quickly flipped to a different page

You don’t comment on it but your grin alone tells him what he needs to hear

Speaking of which, Gwen is ecstatic that you get to meet Miles

She would not spot talking about it even before the whole “don’t tell mikes about the spider society” situation happened and was figured out

You definitely tease her a bit about it

And Miles as well

Buts it’s all in good nature

Miles finds you to be down to earth and Hobie’s translator of sorts

He doesn’t at all get British slang or can understand what Hobie is talking about so you help with that

Using an phrases and metaphors work better for his American understanding

He thanks whatever god there is for that cause sometimes he swears Hobie is making up shit just to confuse him

If you show him all the handmade gifts Hobie has made for you he gets a lot of creative inspiration

Especially since he’s always willing to step out of his normal medium

Show him how to make his own custom pins and he’ll return later with at least 15 plus a couple for you and Hobie

Their also really well drawn as well

So it’s a win win for everyone

At some point you secretly ask him to make some potential album cover art for Hobie and he is fucking ecstatic

He’s never done something like that before so he takes to trying it very seriously

Experimenting with styles

Trying new techniques

Eventually he settles down on a mix of graffiti and collage of news paper clippings

Cause apparently to him you both look as if your straight from newspaper clippings mashed together

Gwen can attest to this as well

Hobie ends up fucking loving it

And Gwen, Miles and Pavitr have to deal with the punk being all lovey dovey to you in a way they had never imagined Hobie to be

He’s peppering your face with kisses and swinging you around in a hug

You let out a small yell as he tosses you up and catches you

It’s honestly really sweet

“How did I once find him intimidating?”

“Eh, it’s not much of a surprise to me. You’d be surprised to find out how many Punk people are actually really sweet”

“I think it’s also cause you thought he was dating g-“

He eventually puts you down and pulls them into a hug

That quickly turns into him aggressively messing up their hair

“I take what I said back”

“Hey! Don’t mess with the hair! My beautiful natural hair!”

“Why am I even surprised anymore?”

Safe to say miles has become a new vital part of this group

And you wouldn’t have it any other way

underrated claudia moments?

Soooo many. These are just from the top of my head:

2x01:

-When Louis starts shouting at Dreamstat and Claudia barely looks up, like "Oh Louis is Louis-ying again whatevs". Bonus points when she dumps the bags into his hands afterwards.

-When she's so excited about finding a vamp she doesn't even care that Louis hurts her while setting her shoulder, and jumps up swinging the arm around while stumbling around him still talking. She's so excited and optimistic in this scene in a way we haven't seen since 1x04. I can picture Delainey joyfully narrating in 1x04 while trying to discover as much as she possibly can.

2x02:

-When Louis and Claudia are talking about getting a "hard meal", and we cut to Louis and Claudia walking towards their new flat. In the previous scene she was wearing boots, and in this scene, she's in the exact same outfit but in heels instead, clearly stolen from her "hard meal". I like that in this season she's trying to find a look that works for her and is experimenting, as you can see in her fashion drawings she keeps above her coffin. And I believe this is the only time in the series we see her in heels? (tap dancing shoes don't count). From a Doylist perspective I can understand: they want to keep Claudia looking as small as possible so the actress can still look like a child, but from a Watsonian perspective I think that while Claudia is stylish, she is also practical and realistic. She can't travel, explore, and protect herself as well wearing the form-fitting dresses and heel lengths of the period.

-When she throws down the man in the murder mansion scene and shouts "Yes!" It makes me so happy for some reason :)

2x03: "What do they know about Cincinnati?"

2x04:

-Claudia was openly sarcastic in this episode which was both great and sad. "Birdie looooves the breeze" (I can never watch that awful performance again but I remember that line delivery) There's also "Still dressing your windows for your German tourists?", "Sounds like a line", "Tell me again how Sam licks the stage after every show, and I'll tell you a job I'd rather do", and "Tuan could play the part".

-I hate the scene for how upsetting it is, but when Armand shoves her into the wall you can see her clasping his wrist while numbly looking down before looking up and widening her eyes in shock at the treatment. It's a nice bit of acting from Delainey- like there's this automatic tendency to check out whenever someone puts their hands on her, but her realization that it's coming from Armand of all people, the one she thought herself safe from what with him being with Louis and by I'm guessing not showing any violent behaviour until now. Despite the warnings from Santiago and Sam about Armand, it's still a shock.

2x06:

-The way she just stabbed that girl through the neck into the wall with scissors lol. Almost a nice callback to 1x07 when she stabbed Antoinette through the heart (I think?) into the floor. You team up with awful men as a woman to attack women, you're getting stabbed with a sharp implement.

-Her reading "How to Win Friends" while Madeleine's reading her diaries. Then insecurely looking up from said book to say her younger writing may come off shallow and uninsightful. Claudia she's reading your victim's last words lol.

-"Pull up a chair. Let's start again." The way she says it too how many times has Claudia had to be the grown-up here??

-That look she gives Louis that says a thousand words after he says, "Does it matter? Got the result".

2x07:

I'm not ready to rewatch that episode yet (or ever), but I loved Claudia's manic, disbelieving laugh when Lestat says some bs about her "being an artful predator, just like me". I also loved how she kept glancing at Madeleine every so often during the trial to see how she was doing, and I liked when she put her head on her shoulder after she gave that speech about it never being about her :(

For The Hope Of It All

The universe was playing three-dimensional chess with Buck, while Buck was still trying to figure out the rules of checkers and losing miserably. That’s why he was currently nursing the same bottle of beer in his hands like it was a wounded comrade. Figuratively kicking himself in the head wasn’t enough- he should have brought steel-toed boots to this pity party. Not only did he commit a symphony of fouls today while playing basketball, but he also sent Eddie flying through the basketball hoop. Okay, maybe not, but he did cause Eddie to trip and fall. Tripping Tommy, now that was a plan. Tommy was trying to steal Eddie away with his shiny helicopters and even shinier smile. Buck groaned and buried his head in his hands, “Stupid, stupid, stupid,” he muttered. “Now Eddie will never ever talk to you again and you will die alone in this loft.” 

As Buck continued his one-man comedy show of muttering, groaning, and kicking himself on the head, the doorbell rang. He wasn’t ready to entertain anyone right now so he yelled, “Go away!” at the door. 

“Not gonna happen, pal, not until I get a heartfelt apology. A beer. And maybe a foot massage. And hopefully my lost shoe.”   

Buck’s heart sank when he realized it was Eddie on the other side of the door. Great. Just when he thought things couldn’t get any worse, the universe played its hand- that was poker not chess, right?  With a sigh that could rival the wind, Buck dragged himself out of the chair and went to the door, where he found Eddie giving him an unamused look, that looked like a cross between a disappointed father (a look Buck was very much acquainted with) and a slightly annoyed babysitter. 

“H-hey, Eddie,” Buck greeted him with an awkward wave of his hand. 

Eddie’s response was nonexistent. Instead, he limped past Buck into the living room. He put his hands on his hips and let out a deep sigh as Buck slowly closed the door behind him, trying to avoid Eddie’s wrath.

“You’re like a human-size wrecking ball, you know that?” Eddie finally said, turning to glare at Buck. 

With a dramatic sigh, Buck made his way over to his friend and stood in front of him. “Look, I’m sorry about what-” 

“No, shut up!” Eddie interrupted, holding out up hand like a traffic cop. “I’m gonna do the talking and you’re gonna do the listening.” 

Buck could just nod in response. He was going to get hell from Eddie today. He just knew it. 

“Right,” Eddie said, nodding in satisfaction. “I’m sorry about today. I know you didn’t mean to trip me up.” 

That’s not what Buck was expecting. “Ed-”

“I told you to shut up!” Eddie chastised him again. “But everything you’ve been doing this week-” he paused and shook his head. “-you’re a grown man, Buck, we both are. If you had a problem with me, you should have come to me and talked about it.” 

“I didn’t- I don’t have a problem with you.” Buck mustered the courage to retort, despite the death stare Eddie was shooting his way. 

“Okay, then what was today about?” Eddie asked. 

"Today was the day I discovered my hidden talent for making myself look like a complete idiot,” Buck replied.

Eddie’s features softened and he cracked a small smile. “That you do,” he said jokingly. “But why?” 

With a sigh, Buck confessed, "I was jealous."

Eddie seemed taken aback by that. “Jealous? Of what?” 

Buck's face twisted into a comical grimace. "Of you and Tommy!"

Eddie gave Buck a bewildered look, his eyebrows creased in confusion. "What? Why?"

“Isn’t it obvious? I don’t like you spending time with him,” Buck tried to explain. 

Confusion turned to realization as Eddie’s face softened once again. “Oh.” 

“Yeah, oh,” Buck looked down at his hands and found them far more interesting all of a sudden. 

Eddie's voice trembled as he spoke, his hand resting gently on Buck's shoulder. "Evan," he said.. "You are more than my best friend. You are my confidant, the person I trust with my life. When things go to shit, you’re the one I run to for support and when things go right, you’re the first person I want to share it with. Hell, I ‘ve made you the legal guardian of my kid in case something happened to me because I know you will always love him like he was your own." He paused and chased Buck’s eyes to make him look at him. “You’re irreplaceable, Evan. Never doubt that.”

Buck listened intently to Eddie's words. He couldn’t believe it. "Eddie," he began, eager to respond. 

“How many times do I have to tell you to shut up?”

“Maybe you should make me,” Buck challenged him without even thinking about it

Eddie looked visibly taken aback by that and Buck was about to laugh it off but then he decided to be brave.

“What?” Eddie asked

“The real reason I am jealous of Tommy is because I thought he might whisk you away and I may never get to tell you what I really felt about you.”

With a gulp, Eddie's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. “What- what do you feel about me?”. 

With a simple phrase, Buck professed his love: "I love you."

Eddie's breath audibly caught in his throat, he removed his hand from Buck’s shoulder, and his expression indicated that he was mentally processing what Buck had just said. “Y- you love me?” 

Buck immediately missed his touch and looked down at his own hands, “I do.” 

“Since when?” 

Buck’s head snapped up and he said, “Since the time you told me I could have your back any day.” 

“That was when we first met…” Eddie pointed out like he couldn’t quite believe what Buck was saying. 

Buck affirmed with a nod. “It was. I’ve been in love with you since.”

Buck felt a pang of longing when Eddie retreated from him. Eddie rubbed his face, a contemplative expression crossed his features, “I don’t know what to make of that, Buck.” 

“You don’t have to make anything of it,” Buck assured him, although his heart was breaking. “You could just ignore what I said and we could go on pretending that I never said that.” 

Eddie nodded and said nothing. He took another step back before turning on his heel to leave. 

Buck wanted to let out an agonizing cry. He didn’t know what he had expected. Maybe he thought they would have a chance. But he was oh so wrong. 

“See you around, Eddie,” Buck said after him, his voice tinged with sorrow. 

In a sudden shift, Eddie halted. Buck heard him take a deep breath before he returned. This time with determination written all over his face, which Buck initially interpreted as a sign of an imminent punch. But much to his surprise, Eddie grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him forward, initiating a passionate kiss. Buck let out a surprised sound and kissed Eddie back. The kiss turned heated pretty quick and Buck slipped his tongue inside Eddie’s mouth and mapped it out. He kept walking Eddie backward until Eddie’s back hit the wall. As they kissed, Buck's mind raced with conflicting thoughts, oscillating between exhilaration ("Holy shit, we're kissing!") and apprehension ("Holy shit, he might come to his senses and walk away soon.")

Buck moved away from Eddie’s lips and kissed along his jawline before burying his face into Eddie’s neck. He pulled Eddie close and experimentally thrust against him, causing the other man to moan. 

But then the haze lifted and Eddie moaned before gently pushing at Buck’s chest. “Buck, Buck, stop-” he rasped. 

Buck stopped and pulled away to look at Eddie. Their foreheads pressed together as he released a series of short, shallow breaths. "I thought you wanted this..."

“I don’t know,” Eddie admitted, clutching onto Buck’s shirt. 

Buck nodded and pulled away. “Are you and Marisol still together?” He asked. 

“No,” Eddie replied. “We broke up a week ago.” 

Buck said nothing to that. He instead turned around to leave. 

“Buck?” Eddie called out to him, sounding so vulnerable that it almost broke Buck’s heart. 

Buck got to the stairs and turned around to look at Eddie. “If you want you can come upstairs with me,, or the decision is up to you.” He shrugged. 

Eddie looked conflicted. He bit his lips and looked between Buck and the door like he was trying to figure out what to do. 

When he looked at Buck again, Buck raised an eyebrow, “Well?” 

Eddie smiled and rolled his eyes before moving towards the stairs. “I can’t go up there,” he said, pointing at his leg. 

Buck got the message and leaned down to pick Eddie up in his arms. Eddie may have let out a little squeak before he wrapped his arms around Buck’s neck. Buck smirked and carefully carried him up the stairs. “What did you even have for lunch?” He teased. 

“You’re an asshole,” Eddie told him and rolled his eyes. 

***

As the morning sun peeked through the blinds, Buck's eyes fluttered open. He glanced beside him and saw Eddie, sleeping soundly. A tender smile spread across Buck's face as he admired Eddie's peaceful state. He couldn’t believe that the man he loved was finally in his bed. He propped his head up on his hand and took in Eddie’s features. His hair was a mess from where Buck at pulled them the previous night. His lips were swollen from how hard Buck had kissed him. There was a look of contentment on his face with his mouth slightly agape as he snored softly. Buck’s eyes traveled further down to Eddie’s nipples. The nubs were red and swollen from how much attention Buck had given them. If Buck pulled back the sheets, he would probably see how his cum still leaking out of Eddie. They had established that they were both clean and wanted to really go for the title this time. 

Don’t be such a creep, Buck. Buck told himself as he continued to admire Eddie. His Eddie. 

“Were you watching me sleep?” Eddie’s amused voice brought Buck out of his thoughts. Eddie’s voice was also heavy with sleep which started to get Buck hard all over again. 

“I- I kinda was, I guess,” Buck replied and scratched the back of his head. 

“Of course you were, creep,” Eddie teased him again and looked over at him. “Like what you see?” His voice turned seductive. 

“More than you’ll know,” Buck replied and rolled on top of Eddie, pinning him to the bed again and kissing him. 

“You’re making me breakfast after this,” Eddie told him. 

“Maybe in an hour… or two,” Buck replied, kissing him again.

Cavetown - Fool but its TFA Prowlbee because I love this ship and will ramble about it till I hit the grave

ESPECIALLY THIS PARTICULAR LINE:

"Rant to me, I like the sound, I like your voice, I like your mouth"

Because it fits SO well with the fact that Bee is an excessively hyperactive yapper who cannot keep his mouth shut even if his life depended on it, and no matter how much he'd try Prowl could never get himself to hate all the talking because it's just so... Bumblebee behaviour, and he likes Bumblebee.

Bee could ramble about the most random stuff that can come to his processor, and Prowl would patiently wait and listen regardless of whether he wants to or not, because he likes seeing Bee happy and he likes hearing Bee's voice.

ALSO ANOTHER NOTEWORTHY LINE WHICH IS MY FAVOURITE LYRIC:

"Look in the mirror, I love that boy, don't hurt my dear, don't hurt my joy"

THIS LINE. THIS GODDAMN LINE THAT MAKES ME TEAR UP BECAUSE I IMAGINE BEE HAVING INSECURITIES AND PROWL TRYING TO PROVIDE COMFORT.

Lemme remind yall that Bee literally gave up the opportunity to become an official Elite Guard [which was his DREAM] just so he could stick with Bulkhead, and the reason he was getting promoted was because he'd outed Wasp, who he thought was the Decepticon spy within Boot Camp when in reality it was Longarm/Shockwave, which he only found out millennia later after Wasp escaped and Shockwave revealed his true identity to Bee and Bulkhead.

You can probably imagine the load of insecurities that this, coupled with the humiliation of being kicked out of Boot Camp and Sentinel barely remembering him, would cause Bee to have. He genuinely regrets listening to Longarm/Shockwave and ruining Wasp's life, he had to give up his dream opportunity so he could stick with his best friend, and he is horrified when he realizes the real Decepticon spy was the same bot who he trusted back at Boot Camp.

SO BACK TO PROWLBEE - After the whole ordeal with Wasp, the Jettwins and Longarm/Shockwave in the present time, Prowl notices how Bee looks miserable. He manages to get it all out from an equally concerned Bulkhead, and his spark aches.

Because Prowl learns that Bee had not only been carefully manipulated into framing a somewhat innocent bot, he also gave up his dream to stick with his only other friend at the time. And after the incident with Wasp, his self-esteem had dropped to an all-time low.

So Prowl takes Bumblebee to a mirror, or any reflective surface, anything that would let Prowl show the bot in the reflection that he is still a good spark, that no one hates him, that he is still loved. By their friends, by their teammates, by Prowl. To tell him that he doesn't have to hurt himself, to beat himself up for doing something he then believed to be the right thing. To tell him he is the brightest light of Prowl's life, that he is adored, he is cherished, he is still Bumblebee.

Edit: and ONE MORE LINE I FORGOT TO ADD:

"I am just a fool to keep on chasing after nothing great, you are just a fool to keep pretending that you're loving me"

This could go both ways OH MY GOD. Bumblebee, who felt like a fool because he tried chasing after things that were now too great for him, especially the long-abandoned dream of being an Elite Guard, and now he thinks he's doing the same [i.e. longing to be with Prowl] because he may act confident, but deep down he thinks Prowl is too good for him - he's quiet, skilled, disciplined, smart, and Bumblebee knows he's neither of those, because he's rash and impatient and horribly impulsive, which are all traits that Bee knows Prowl doesn't really enjoy, making him think his bond with Prowl is either fake, or half-hearted [hence the latter line, you are just a fool to keep pretending that you're loving me].

Prowl, on the other hand... I imagine he'd have some insecurities too; he failed to learn the one cyberjitsu technique that would've qualified him as a true member of the dojo, he failed to protect the dojo and he failed to save Yoketron. He failed to preserve the protoforms within the dojo, and he'd used the last one to try and save his mentor, which failed in the end. All this, just because he didn't want to be enrolled in the Elite Guard for the war, and he left in disgrace. Though faithful, he is losing hope to redeem himself for his mistakes [i.e. he believes he is chasing after nothing great] and also believes that Bumblebee is too good for him as well - Bee is loud, funny, energetic, hopeful, and Prowl is the complete opposite. Bee gets along with others, Prowl doesn't, nor does he make any effort to. Prowl does like Bee, but a small part of him thinks Bee doesn't wholeheartedly like him back.

In the end, though, they do get along. They do get closer, they share eachother's joy and pain, they try to understand eachother even if it's a long and weary process. In the end, they are happy, and they are happily eachother's fools.

I have so much more to rant about because I genuinely love this ship so much but my mind is literally malfunctioning rn so I'm gonna go ahead and cry in my pillow about these two now-

[P.S. might write a fic abt this if I get the time, also PLEASE ASK ME ANYTHING ABT THESE TWO AUGH🙏🎀]

Geo stellar/ Saito Subaru

You also asked for Neku Sakuraba, who I know appeared in Kingdom Hearts, but I have nothing much to say about him strongly. Seems cool. I guess?

We'll just focus on Geo for this.

Send Me a Character

And I will tell you my:

First impression Seems cute. I wasn't rotted by the mindset of the Internet during my introduction to Star Force, so I easily accepted Geo as "oh look another new Mega Man". I can't even remember how we came across him. One day my brother got SF1, and that was about it.

I was also thrown off to see that he can smile so big once my brother got to SF2, but y'know, it is good for him.

Impression now I may not have as much of a deep and personal connection with Geo as I do for Hub, but I am still quite fond of him.

A word I find myself using a lot with him is "soft". I think about it a lot whenever drawing or when brainstorming concepts with him.

I'm sure a big part of why I see him like that is because Geo is a pure human. That deviates so far from any previous Mega Man but I think that's actually very interesting. It adds a sort of vulnerability compared to the others that makes me think, "What will do you, soft human, in this tougher world?", "How much will you change?".

Favorite moment Whenever Geo's visor is obscured it looks so cool. I also think in doing so, it hides a part of him being human, perhaps I am overthinking it but something about that is kinda cool.

Idea for a story There is a theme going on here. Obviously. I'm usually able to find key concepts to work around when I invest that much into a character.

This would have occurred early into Geo's entry into OSS, so he's only just met the twins-- not knowing they are twins just yet. One night, while Lan is asleep, Hub decides to ask Geo a sudden question, "What's it like to be human?".

I actually drew something that was meant to start this comic off but gave up afterwards because my energy vanished. Gee, I wonder which one that was.

Unpopular opinion I like his SF1 form more. Seeing Omega-Xis clearly reminds me they're both one part of the same whole. The two-headed Mega Man.

Random Note: I never realized how neat it is to play as Geo in VRChat. Just having Omega-Xis chilling there as my other arm makes me feel less lonely.

Favorite relationship It's a super basic crossover, but I love the interactions shown between Geo and the Hikari twins in OSS. He fits right in. :>

Favorite headcanon Those boots of his are like weighted gear in DBZ. If Geo can't get beeg and stronge like his dad, those will have to do.

Well now you’ve got ME in all my HAW feels again (time for a reread!) and I’m wondering at what point Leon realized he’d fallen for Matthew for real (and also at what point he actually fell for Matthew, even if he didn’t realize it at the time.) I love ratnovel 🥲

aww thank you anon <3 the whole falling for matthew thing was a real process for leon in haw, i will babble about it a bit under the cut because that sounds way more fun than doing my job on this snowy snowy day.

so as previously discussed, at the beginning of the fic leon is in this place where he's like, he was kind of interested in matthew as a guy to potentially hook up with, and then decided he totally wasn't interested anymore almost entirely because it never seemed like matthew was interested and that hurt his pride as a noted hot bitch lmao. then during the training montage he was physically confronted with the fact that, yeah, unfortunately he would still hit that. he is pretty resigned to this being a lost cause, but then they run into each other at boots, and in the space of that encounter he starts to think maybe it could happen! and then the bj in the rv happens and it throws him SO off wrt his perpections and expectations of matthew.

he thinks a LOT about matthew in the stretch between boots and messaging him on insta before the preseason game, mostly just because — he doesn't know what happened? he thought things were going pretty well, for a given definition of "pretty well," you know, whatever. he can't stop thinking about that wall matthew slammed up after the blowjob, and in retrospect he feels like maybe something was a little off about him the whole time? he's seen matthew off the ice before and he never really had the… abrasive edge he's had this summer, maybe? he doesn't know the guy well enough to figure it out, but he feels both guilty and a little guiltily interested. and also obviously he thinks about it a lot because it was hot.

and then there's the hookup in the hotel at the preseason game, which is hugely reassuring — he's thinking, okay, matthew IS into this, and maybe he's just embarrassed about/uncomfortable with the things he's into? or something? but he's clearly willing to do stuff with leon anyway, and leon is like… well, this is not usually the kind of sex he has, but it's hot, and also he's really, really interested in pushing matthew's buttons. he has no read on if matthew is into him specifically or if he's just convenient, but he's kind of okay with it either way at that point. well, he'd prefer for matthew to be into him specifically, but it is what it is. matthew is the one who gave leon his number, so there's clearly something there.

then there's some flirting via text, etc, and matthew texts after the first flames/oilers game for leon to come fuck him, and leon thinks, oh okay so this is just going to be a thing where we sleep together when we're in the same place. he's cool with that, he's into matthew, he thinks this could be fun. but then the sex is the way that it is (not not good, but very intense and pretty fraught) and now he definitely thinks there's something wrong with matthew. not because he wants rough sex, but because of how he acts about it and acts afterward.

the way i characterize leon (in haw and in general, mostly) is that he really is a big softie — he's at his prickliest when he feels vulnerable, like his soft underbelly is showing, or is being protective of people he cares about. one way this manifests is he tends toward being soft with people he sleeps with even if they don't have a close relationship. it's not lost on him that matthew is clearly upset about something and he's decided that leon is a space where he can try to deal with that, but unfortunately leon is not immune to just a little bit of "i can fix him" disease.

over the next few weeks of texting and sexting is when he really develops a crush, and by the time matthew comes over to his place for that hookup he is definitely trying not to tip his hand that he has a little crush. it's to the point where after the game he texts matthew about johnny's injury to try to make sure the shitty game doesn't fuck things up between them. by the time matthew's texting from the club on his birthday, leon has accepted the fact that he actively likes the guy even though he's really not sure how matthew feels about him, and by christmas when matthew sends him that selfie in leon's t-shirt from boots, he's almost positive that the things he's feeling are mutual. but he knows that matthew is fucked up about some stuff, and that stuff definitely affects how he is with leon, so he keeps telling himself he's going to be careful about it and try not to push until he's really sure. but he wants to kiss matthew so bad.

and then there's the nye facetime, which, to finally actually answer your question, is when leon is really like, "oh, fuck, i'm down so bad. fuck i really have feelings." he's laying in bed thinking about matthew, because at midnight when everyone was kissing he thought about matthew, and how he would have liked to kiss matthew at midnight, and he hasn't been able to stop thinking about him since. so he's laying there thinking about how badly he wants to see him, how much he wants to kiss him, trying to do the drunk math in his head to when they see each other again, because next time they see each other, maybe leon can kiss him. maybe they can finally start treating this like something real. he's almost positive matthew feels the same. if he calls and matthew picks up and talks to him, that probably means he feels the same. maybe what he really needs to know is that leon feels the same. maybe leon just has to be brave enough to make the first move.

[katyspersonal]

Continuation of the previous post about SOTE adventures from today! (More like the end)

1) So, after finally trying to fight on Torrent and beating Tree Sentinel very quickly without even getting hit myself, I've gotten a BRILLIANT IDEA to try and battle Gaius like this too. That was really pointless. In fact, I just spent the next hour pushing for it and not getting further than reducing his HP to like 60%... Because you know, doing the same thing over and over and OVER hoping that this time the result will be different is definition of insanity. XD

2) Eventually I gave up and tried something else. In this case, to relocate my stats; I have 80 Int as sorcery user, but here it was useless, so I relocated these stats and some extra in those I needed more.

So, uh... Good news: turned out that Int reduces magic damage, so my 80 Int was crucial for surviving his attacks. Bad news: I wasted 2 Larval Tears to learn this lesson. 🤡🤡🤡

3) I tried to do more stuff and the very last thing I tried was to give Mimic Tear Morgott's blade to spam fire attacks, while I have shield and stab him with Scarlet Rot. I've already noticed that fire was dealing much more damage, but by that time @jarognieva whom I asked for help answered me!! So, we cooperated!

4) .....

Turned out that she forgot to change her name from МАМКА ТВОЯ)))0)0)0)0) АХАХПЖПЛАОП

(It says 'your mum' XDDDD)

5) Jara also confirmed that this boss WAS weak to fire and holy, so that sealed the deal with Morgott's blade! I legit didn't have a better fire skill weapon on hands.

6) We made a great attempt at first, she is very strong with holy attacks! We only lost because earlier I relocated all flasks to Crimson, so I ran out of skill and could not use it again because I didn't have any Cerulean (🤡🤡🤡)

7) BUT WE WOOONNN OH MAN WE WON

(Damn, how does Messmer keep attracting so many friends? I read it as both them being cursed and being close with THE war person (Radahn) were important here)

@jarognieva YOU ARE SUPER HELPFUL HOW DO YOU EVEN DO THAT GDHYGGHTGFH AAAA I WAS SUFFERING FOR GOOD HOUR AND MORE ON THIS BOSS!!!!!! POWER OF FRIENDSHIP BITCHES!!!

(Also it was the second time we started to aggressively smash jump button after beating the boss XD It should become the running gag now! Or should I say..... the jumping gag? *gets shot*)

8) I was ready to go for the day since it is late and I need to cherish what little sleep I can have, so for the last instance I decided to go and check new stuff at Enia's!

Not much to add here, though seems like it would be a good spell for my random surprise Faith build moments! Though two overlapping stalks repeating the Erdtree pattern did remind me of that overlapping serpents symbol from previous post.

I was JUST questioning what weapon would actually WORK while I am fighting on Torrent! Thank you king xd

So he invented that cool sorcery while trying to prove Radahn that he was a better sorcerer!

9) Interestingly enough, first at Enia's I only could find Gaius head, chest and arm pieces but not the leg one!

I wondered if something was wrong with that! The description did mention that he was one with his boar after all! My assumption was that simply his set was not going to have the legs piece, but... it did!

10) So, outside of the area where we battled him, surprisingly there was an ALBINAURIC WOMAN! Just a normal one, riding a wolf and all!

And she dropped... this:

Ohhhh boy. So Albinaurics can't wear boots and pants, now? Oh boy. Well, I told that Loretta was likely not an Albinauric, but the girls didn't believe me. 🌛 This feels like it confirms this! Like I said, she is oddly similar to Dung Eater in cosplaying the species she is protecting vghhggh What a realization....

11) So Albinaurics were pretty much servants for Carians (like Pidiya), and Rykard straight up tortured them, so that makes the fact that one was like an older brother for Radahn interesting..? Perhaps, a glimpse on the "kinder former self" of Radahn that presumably was "lost" to war-mongering (if not some corruption due to wrestling with the Stars)? If Miquella yearning for younger version of Radahn (as far as I got spoilered) is any indication?

12) Another one for that type of talismans is also found nearby:

13) The reward at the end was 5 Scadutree Fragments! Yaaay!!! All scattered near 'Scadutree Chalice'. What an object 🤔

_____________

So yeah, a lot of optional stuff was tackled today! It is so satisfying to finally adapt to a hard boss and defeat them, really. For real, Soulsborne games do not need difficulty selection.

Common Ground

Pairing: Sk.ull Fa.ce x Dr Palmer Words: 1,445 Rating: General Content Warning: oc x canon

Summary: The XO finally decides to take the doctor up on their invitation to visit them.

Skull Face wasn’t actually sure if he’d come and visit like Dr Palmer suggested. Yet, here he was, knocking on their office door at lunchtime. He had put it off for a while, but he kept finding the book they gave him sitting in his suit pocket. The constant reminder of the doctor had sparked his curiosity, so he had gone and done some digging on them. Phoenix Palmer had actually changed both their first and last name. They told him they needed to take the job to get away. From what, though?

Palmer also made no comment on his skin, other than questioning him about his accelerated healing. Though the XO figured that since they saw him before he woke up, they could school their response to whatever they needed. That was another reason he had put off visiting them. They’d seen almost, if not all, of him.

“Come in,” A familiar voice called through the door.

When he entered, he saw the doctor had their back to him, putting away some files into a file cabinet. Their eyes widened when they turned and saw him.

“Oh, hello.” It’s most likely because he never actually stood up the last time they spoke, but it’s only now they realize just how tall the XO is. Combined with his outfit, a black suit paired with a black cowboy hat and boots, he commands attention. Of course he wasn’t wearing that in the jungle.

“Hello, Doctor.” He walked inside, shutting the door behind him. They didn’t seem very pleased to see him.

“I was starting to wonder if you were going to visit me.” They sat down behind their desk and gestured to the chair across from them.

“I’ve been busy.” Not a complete lie. Skull Face sat down in the armchair.

“Ah, understandable. How’ve you been? No pain or anything since your surgery?” They wanted to make sure they hadn’t missed any pieces of debris. He was actually supposed to come in for a follow-up once they returned to the United States, but he didn’t show up. Maybe because of how fast his body healed, he didn’t feel the need, or maybe he had an aversion to hospitals, which wasn’t uncommon. Though a part of them worried he may have been avoiding them due to them asking about his skin. So they made a mental note to not bring it up unless absolutely necessary.

“No, I’m fine.”

“Ah, good to hear.”

Neither knew what to say after that. Silence stretching to a point of discomfort. Thankfully, Palmer speaks up, “Did you like the book I gave you?”

“I did.” He pulled the book from his pocket and leaned forward to hand it back to them.

“Oh, you can keep it, since you liked it.”

He pulls back, “Alright then.”

“I wasn’t crazy about it myself. Though the ending was interesting. How the protagonist’s role was reversed when viewed from the vampire’s perspective. That’s it though. I mean, don’t you find it strange that Ruth slept with Neville when she knew he killed her husband?”

“Yes, that part was odd to me, too.”

“Like, he killed your husband. You shouldn’t be helping him. Much less fucking him!”

“Maybe she never actually cared for her husband?” Skull Face suggested.

“Oh maybe. Maybe he was a scumbag to her, and Neville unintentionally did her a favor.” However, Palmer had an inkling it was just a sexist writing.

“You read a lot of vampire stories, Doctor?”

What? How did he- Oh. They winced when they remembered their brief outburst of excitement the last time they talked. “I do. There’s something alluring about them, I think.” They’d always liked monsters of all sorts. Something that they had bonded over with a coworker, Dr Clark.

Palmer could relate to being othered by society. They wondered if the man sitting across from them felt the same.

“What was that other book you had?” Skull Face asked.

“Invasion of the Body Snatchers.”

The name alone conjures very unpleasant thoughts, and he must have made a face or something, because the doctor is now smiling at him.

“Afraid of parasites or something, Commander?” It’s only a second or so before horror dawns on their face. “Oh, I am so sorry, Commander. I didn’t mean to- I didn’t mean to be rude.”

His knee-jerk response is to be furious at them. Mocking him about his- Wait, he never told them. Did they find out somewhere else? When they quickly apologize, he’s still not sure. It could very well be they are apologizing for being so causal with a superior.

He waves his hand in the air, as if brushing away their words, “I’ll let it slide.”

“Thank you.” The tension eases in their body, but they quickly hurry the conversation along. “Do you read horror often?”

“I haven’t had much opportunity.”

His answer made them wonder what kind of life he had lived until now. They had looked into how Hungary was involved in WWII. He had said he wasn’t in Hungary for very long. Which made Palmer assume he fled the conflict. Then they realized how stupid that assumption was. Not a man with scars. Not a man who worked for the SAS and now the CIA. “So, what do you read?”

“What makes you read at all?”

“You just seem the type. Also, you read the book I gave you.”

They weren’t wrong. He did read when he could get his hands on a book. He worked alone most of the time, and a book helped pass the time. “I see. History, science, or philosophy usually.”

“Oh, I read a lot of science myself, mostly biology and medicine.” Even as a child, their favorite kind of book was nonfiction. The only fiction able to pull them away from learning about the world was xenofiction and their beloved horror stories. While they had been meaning to read more philosophy, history more often than not put them to sleep.

It didn’t surprise Skull Face that they read medical books. Which reminded him of something he wanted to ask. “Aren’t you a bit young to be a surgeon?” A trauma surgeon at that. The person sitting across from him didn’t look much older than him, if at all, and he was only in his twenties.

“I’m practicing without a license, don’t tell anyone.” They smiled and winked at the commander.

When he just reacted with a furrowed brow, they broke into a quiet laugh. “I skipped grades growing up and got into university early. Someone in the CIA noticed and got me a job.” After that, Major Zero took notice of them, and picked them to work under his XO. “How old are you, anyway?” Palmer asks.

Skull Face’s answer left Palmer taken aback. They were the same age? His demeanor had led them to believe he was so much older. Then again, growing up in Hungary, he probably never knew a day of peace in his life. Forced to grow up way too fast.

“Glad to see I’m not the only overachiever here.” They say.

He huffs at that, “Not like I had a choice in the matter.”

“Oh?”

“You said you had no choice in taking this job, did you not? We can only choose how we act, not the circumstances we’re in.”

“And those choices are often hard, too.”

“If we’re left any choice at all.”

Palmer nodded. When put that way, it seemed they had more in common with Skull Face than they first thought.

When they glanced up at the clock, it said it was two already. “Damn. Sorry, I gotta cut this short.”

He turned and looked at the clock as well. “Ah. No problem, Doctor.”

Skull Face stood to leave, and Palmer walked him to the door. “Feel free to visit again. I’m always free at lunch.” It was good he visited at lunch. He actually got them to stop working. Palmer still hadn’t eaten anything, but it was a step in the right direction.

Instead of giving a vague answer like last time, he impulsively said he would visit. Skull Face was a bit surprised at himself. Though it wasn’t like he didn’t enjoy his visit. In truth, the closest thing he had to a friend was Major Zero. Maybe he was hoping he could have something similar with Palmer.

Hope, there it was again. He’d lived his life as a ghost for so long. It had been hardwired into him to stay away from people, both physically and emotionally. Still, that little spark of humanity remained. It was human nature to want to connect with people, after all.

Characters that made me realize I was trans

You ever just wanna make a comprehensive list of everyone that gave you gender envy from a young age? Yeah me too.

So here it is! A list of every character that made me realize I was trans, starting from when I was a little kid!

No. 1 - Aravis from The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis

Okay, weird racism in this book aside, the amount I loved Aravis was probably the first indicator that I was not cisgender. I thought she was so cool for dressing up as a boy and rejecting traditional femininity and being so "not-like-other-girls" (i also had a big not-like-other-girls phase around the time I read this, go figure). Of course, she is cisgender, and seems to fall into a *slightly* more traditional role by the end of the book, but this isn't about C.S. Lewis' gender stuff and more on the fact that I related very heavily to Aravis and the fact that she didn't fit in with other girls, because I also felt the same way.

Her male co-star Shasta also gave me gender envy so between them both it's no wonder 9-year-old me loved this book.

No. 2 - Deryn/Dylan Sharp from Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld

Once again it's the girl-dressing-up-as-a-boy-to-fuck-with-gender-rules trope! Only this time, Deryn Sharp is actually treated like a man by her male co-star, Alek (up until he figures out that Dylan is actually Deryn, but then he's quite supportive of her gender fuckery). Deryn, like Aravis, doesn't actually feel any gender dysphoria. Her gender fuckery is a means to pursue her passion for air travel via joining the army. This does get fucked up by the last book and she ends up needing to leave the army, but we don't actually see how she presents herself when in non-millitary society so I will headcannon that she remains quite butch.

I thought Deryn was the coolest when I was 13, and even wound up copying her way of saying "barking spiders" for a bit. And her and Alek's romantic relationship was peak goals for me, probably because it begins while Deryn still presents masc.

No. 3/4 - Link, from TLOZ: Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild

So, the Links! Let's talk about the Links!

Twilight was the first male character I remember projecting myself onto. So much so that I did not ship him and midna OR him and Illia (and didn't really like illia's quest), not because they didn't have chemistry but because I am very homosexual and did not like the idea of my self-insert being with a girl. Now, do cis girls project themselves onto male character? Idk but I'm not cis and this is something I did so *shrug*

I've lumped these two together because Zelda was a sort of twofer for me. I played Twilight Princess and then a couple years later played BOTW and began discovering what transgender people were. At the time I ID'd as nonbinary, and my Zelda obsession grew with my understanding of "shit I'm not cis." (I even named myself after a Zelda character for a bit). The links were my first *conscious* experience of gender envy, and hold a special place in my heart for it.

No. 5 - Aether from Genshin Impact

Last, but CERTAINLY not least, is the man, the myth, the legend, Aether Genshin Impact. And there is a STORY behind this guy's inclusion.

See, by the time I started playing genshin, I had long since accepted that I was not a girl. I called myself nonbinary, and thought I was okay with simply "not being a girl" and was fine doing what I saw all the other nonbinary people doing (binders, no testosterone, vaugely masc clothes, etc).

Then I booted up genshin impact, and had to pick between Aether and Lumine. And I still remember the "oh shit" moment I had when I realized that the default I expected to fall into would not make me happy. I had expected myself to pick Lumine, because I had previously thought that I was more comfortable with femininity than masculinity. I realized that I didn't just want "genderless." I wanted masculine. And I had this guy to thank for helping me come to that realization.

Anyways that's not all the characters that gave me gender envy or really even my entire "here's how I knew I was trans" but they are the most influential ones to me.

ENCOUNTER~

Summary: you go out with Jisung and his friends at the club, when you make an unforgettable encounter.

TW: mention of alcohol, smoking and kissing.

10PM~

"Shit" you say, realizing that Jisung was going to come pick you up in only half an hour and that you’ve already been scrolling for two hours on tiktok..

You got up in a swift motion, rushing to your bathroom.

Before anything, you obviously turned on some tunes, because that’s the only way to put you in the right mood to go out. So you quickly turned on your hot girl music, feeling the beat of "the color violet" by Tony Lanez starting.

After rushing for about 15 minutes, you managed to get yourself looking pretty hot, at least you thought. You did your usual base, with a dark eyeliner look, which made you look fierce and mysterious, exactly the vibe you like to give off when going out, cause fuck it right? It’s so fun to be anyone you want for one night.

You quickly just gave your hair a brush, because it was already styled from the night before, but just a little tangled. You then rushed to your closet, stressing over what to wear. "Fuck, I should’ve thought about this earlier."

You throw a bunch of stuff you thought could work on your bed in a hurry. You go through everything and try to think of an outfit. You eventually just put something on: your trusty low waisted baggy jeans, with a lace tank top, a big buckled belt, high heeled black boots, a cute necklace, hoops, and finally you grabbed a leather jacket to throw on because it was getting rather cool outside at this hour.

*phone ringing

"Shit, Jisung" yo pick up your phone and answer. "Hello?" You say. "Hey I’m here." He says as you hear his loud music in the back. " shit okay ill be there in a minute." "Bitch don’t make me wait now!" He almost screams. "Hahha I’ll be right there"

You quickly spray perfume on your neck, collarbone and wrists. Then you throw the essentials into a red shoulder bag: the lipstick you currently had on, you phone, keys, wallet, cigarettes, and a lighter ofc.

You run to your fridge, and grab a Red Bull out, knowing you’ll need it before going out. Because god knows the nights tend to escalate with Jisung. You keep that in your hands, and run out the door.

…

As you walk outside your apartment building, you see Jisung, vining to music in his car, not noticing you. You laugh, then eventually knock on the window to signal him to open the door.

"Heyyy!" You both say, hugging. " damn girl you look HOTTT!" Jisung says immediately. "Oh thank you so much. " you smile. " you look hot too hannie." You say analyzing his outfit, basically the same black button down he’d often wear to go out, and black dress pants. "Okay let’s goo!!"

11:00 PM

You and Jisung eventually make it to the club after stopping a couple of times to go pick up his other friends. You didn’t know them all, but most of them.

There was Changbin, you knew him from school, him and Jisung often did music together. Then there was Felix, that you also knew, he was also your friend. But there was also a guy named Minho, you didn’t really know him, appart from the fact that Jisung was always at his place…

The girl to guy ratio in the car was highly unbalanced, but you were fine with it, since you knew almost all of them, and two of your girlfriends were already at the club anyway.

"Alright yall, we’re here." Jisung said, pulling into the parking lot. "Yeah!! Lets go " Changbin said, hyped. You all got out of the car and walked over to the club. Jisung and the others were going in already, but you were feeling a little stressed and agitated from the VERY social context you were about to go into.

"Hey guys, I’m just gonna take some air a little here before going in, I’ll meet you guys." You said, separating with them. Jisung understood what you were gonna do, and went in with the others.

You walked over to the side of the building, we’re no one was, and sighed. Leaning on the brick wall, you took out a cigarette and your lighter. This was gonna calm you right?

The light from the lighter illuminating your eyes, your brows furrowed, concentrated. You didn’t notice the man who was now also leaning on the same wall, only a meter away.

You took a drag, eyes closed, and only realized he was there, when you took the cigarette back between your fingers. He’s looking at you. Weird. You nod to say hi, then take another drag. The guy took a cigarette out from its packaging. Obviously he was also here for the same reason. He looked at you again, like you had something he wanted. "Do you have light? " he asked. Oh, you thought, of course, he just wanted something to light his cigarette. "Huh yeah." You reach in your pocket to grab your lighter and hand it to him. He thanks you politely. He places the cigarette between his full lips, and bringing his left hand out in front of it to block the wind. You couldn’t help but notice how handsome he was. Brows furrowed just like yours were moments ago, you thought it probably looked sexier on him than it ever did on you. Once he lit it, he kept it there for a moment, between his lips, giving back the lighter. "Thanks"he repeats. You both lean back on the wall.

You were so in your head. You couldn’t help but to interiorly freak out over him. Why was he here, he could’ve gone anywhere else to smoke, and why was he so hot?!!?!

"Are you here with anyone? " the handsome guy asks, clearly bored. "Huh, yeah I came with some friends." You smile, dusting off the ash on the ground. "Cool, me too, I’m actually meeting them here." He added. "Cool" you simply say, thinking for a moment. "Wait but why aren’t you inside with them if you came here with them?" He asks, curious. "Oh well, I just wanted to have a moment for myself before putting myself into a very social environment.." you said, embarrassed, but truthfull. He giggled, dusted off the ash off his cigarette, then spoke again. " yeah, I get that, I’d say I’m doing the exact same thing. " " but you know, I’d be lying if I didn’t add the fact that I’m also just a bit of a going out smoker." You both laugh. "What do you mean by that?" You ask. "Like, I’m not the biggest smoker but, I do enjoy it a lot when I go out." He explained. "Yeah, me too." You smile. " It’s beneficial in many ways haha." You state. "Yeah? Like what?" He asks. "Like, it helps with social anxiety, plus it looks hot and mysterious." You say honestly. "Hahah, you do look hot and mysterious." He smirks, looking right at you. "Hmm, it’s also a great way to flirt, especially for you. " He laughs.

You toss your bud on the floor, crushing it with your boot. You smiled at him, getting up to head in. "Maybe I’ll see you inside", you say before leaving. "Yeah." He smirks.

"Ill just look for the hot and mysterious girl."

11:30 PM

When you went in, Jisung and the others were sitting around on a couch that circled around a table. "Heyyy!!"

They created you, clearly already under the influence. "Here, take a shot! " the encouraged.

Changbin poured some vodka into a shot glass, obviously spilling a little bit on the table. When you were about to take it. Minho shouted: "make a wish!" You laughed, what is this, a birthday cake? "Say it out loud tho" "and something for tonight!" Jisung added.

You thought to yourself for a moment. There was something you kinda wished would happen tonight.. "I wanna make out with someone!" You said loudly. Everyone laughed and watched your reaction as you took the shot.

Jisung put his arm around you. "I knew you’d say that." "That’s why I invited a friend of mine that I think you’d like." He said.

"What?! Jisung!" You were kinda pissed that he didn’t tell you beforehand. Knowing you’d be more nervous now.

"Don’t worry y/n, he’s a chill guy." "And he’s super hot." He insisted.

You sighed. "Alright."

"Oh, actually here he is." Jisung said noticing the guy coming over to the table.

When you looked back to where everyone was looking, you froze. It was him.

He seemed just as surprised as you.

"Hey Hyunjin! " "man it’s been so long." The guys got up to great him.

"Hey this is Hyunjin, the guys I was telling you about." Jisung said.

Hyunjin’s surprised expression quickly turned into a soft smirk. He held his hand out to you. "Hello"

You looked at him deeply. 'Hey" you shook hands.

You than smiled as well. "You guys know each other?" Felix asked.

"No no, I’m just surprised that Jisung is best friends with such a hot and mysterious person." He said smirking once again.

You laughed.

It was thrilling. Playing around like this. Only the two of you knew.

"Okay then. I think that the two who just arrive should take a shot." Seungmin said, handing one to each of you.

You looked up at Hyunjin, bringing your shot up to his in order to cheers. He looked back, and smiled shyly. You both tapped it down on the table, then bottoms up!

00:00

Midnight strikes. The vibe of the club suddenly shifts. It’s time for the real shit. I was never there by the weekend starts playing. "Oh shit" you couldn’t stand there anymore.

You couldn’t even think anymore. You grab Hyunjin’s wrist. He looked confused. "Come on we have to dance to this one."you drag him out of the booth and make way to the dance floor.

Hyunjin’s POV:

I was just sipping on my drink when the girl I met earlier grabbed my wrist. Why? I was so surprised. "Come on, we have to dance to this one." She said. God she was hot. I couldn’t help to let her lead me where she wanted to go. She was dragging me to the dance floor. Then she suddenly stopped and turned around. She smiled at me, swaying her hips from side to side to the rhythm.

God she looked good. The club lights hitting all the right spots, form her curves to her eyes. I was completely mesmerized.

"Come on, dance. " She had to say to get me out of my transe. I unfroze and started to match her pace.

She looked impressed. Then she inched closer to me, wrapping her arms around my head, resting them on my shoulders. "You’re good." She says.

"You’re pretty good yourself." I state, wrapping my arms around her waist. She smiled, eyes still locked with mine.

"I never got your name?" I say, desperately wanting to put a name on the girl I was currently under the spell of.

"Y/n." She says. I smile, satisfied with the sound of it. It summed you up perfectly. "I love It."

"Don’t forget it now." She states.

"I don’t think I could ever. " I couldn’t help but inch closer and closer to her, wanting her to feel everything I was in this moment.

She simply chuckles, and suddenly turns around.

I quickly understand her sudden action when she starts moving her hips again, back facing me. I place my hands on her hips, guiding her. Slowly but surely, our bodies inched closer, until I was pressed against her, head tilted in the crook of her neck.

Y/n’s POV:

My actions were clearly driven by alcohol at this point, and I knew with how blurred my vision was. But somehow I was completely in control of my body, I just simply had a lot more guts.

As I swayed from side to side, his hands on my hips, I closed my eyes, enjoying the moment. The music echoed in my ears. I could feel his slow breathing against my neck. Wow. His presence flooded me. I felt so connected. Attracted. I couldn’t let go.

We kept dancing for a while. Clearly it was a skill we both shared. Which was making people look. There’s something about two hot people looking hot together, and that’s exactly what you guys were.

Sweaty and out of breath, Hyunjin pulled you in to tell you something. " wanna go out for a smoke?" You could feel his smirk against your skin.

You pulled back and nodded.

1:00AM

Hyunjin followed you out the club, wiping away his sweat.

"Wow, that was a work out huh?" You exhaled.

He laughed, in agreement.

"You looked really good out there." He clarifies.

"Thanks. You too." You shy away and walk towards the same walk you first met.

Hyunjin pulls out a cigarette. He was in the same outfit, same position as when you first met him, but this time with slightly wet hair, and an even more lustful look in his eyes.

"Hey you want a light?" He says. You notice he has YOUR lighter.. "what?! Wait, how did you get that?!?" You ask surprised.

"Relax, i took it from your pocket while we were dancing. " he explains.

"Okay?" So you’re stealing from me now?" You asked still confused.

"No!" "I mean, yeah.. but it’s just because I thought I should light it for you." He said, before taking the cigarette he had in his hand and placing it between your lips.

You let him put it there. He then flicked the lighter open, placing the flame under the tip. You understood why he wanted to do that when you saw him staring at you.

"Thanks" you say smirking.

He smiles then does the same for himself.

"You know, I’m glad I met you tonight." He says.

"Yeah me too." You respond.

"I really feel like we’re alike in a way."

"Oh really? How so? " you ask.

"Well, we both like to smoke in social contexts, we like dancing, we’re both a bit socially anxious, and we’re super hot."

"You think I’m hot?" You say smiling.

"Well.. yeah" he shyly says.

You chuckle getting closer to him.

"What do you find hot?" You ask.

He looks down at you with poisonous eyes. "Everything." He states.

You laugh and look away. When you place you gaze back on his, you say: " can you be a bit clearer for me baby?"

He doesn’t speak for a moment. "Your lips. " he says softly.

"What about them?" You raise your eyebrows, acting like you don’t know what he wants.

"I really want them on mine." He says.

"You’d want that?" You say, inching closer.

He nods quietly. Still locking eyes with you, adding to the tension between the two of you.

"Then I should give you what you want." You continue.

Lips inches away. You stop moving for a second, to tease him.

An attempt that soon failed when Hyunjin impatiently took your face between his hands, closing the gap between you.

His lips were soft. He pecked your lips a couple of times before softly hitting at your bottom lip for permission to deepen the kiss. You slightly open your mouth, letting his tongue in. The kiss was passionate and needy. Your hands gripped on his brown locks, earning a soft moan from him. You smiled into the kiss, acknowledging the effect you had on him. But the way he grabbed your ass quickly humbled you down, when a moan escaped your lips. He had the same effect on you.

He didn’t know but,

Your wish was granted.

[lordkingsmith]

Okay, I saw the blurb reference for ask, and now I GOTTA, just because: Matt Cook + All of his OC babies~ (we all know WHY)

lol yes we know why. I was debating whether or not I cover Matt dear, so thanks for deciding for me XD

canon children:

none that we know of

OC Children:

Kimberly Hart:

Kelson Hart. Aged 21. Older Twin brother to Kira Hart. Kim’s a single parent, raised her kids mostly on the run after Matthew died when they were four, but she and Matt never got married. More of a friends with benefits thing, off and on until she got pregnant with twins. Kelson has nothing to do with his family. Intergalactic diplomat at 21. Does not live on earth, but shows up every Christmas. He is not associated with any color. He blames power rangers for a lot of his family and planet problems actually. He loves his mom and sister and family, but he can’t bypass their glaringly massive differences in opinions.

Kira, aged 21, younger twin sister to Kelson, green ranger on SPD B Team. She’s often her brothers body guard when he’s on earth for official business, but they bicker constantly when they actually speak to each other outside of work. He blames the power rangers for everything, she thinks he’s an idiot. The reason Kim was on the run in the first place was an unreformed Zedd heard about the kids and as Matt used to work for him, decided those kids were his, actually. As payment. Matt died killing Zedd. That wasn’t power rangers fault, that was Zedd’s fault.

Billy Cranston;

When Billy loses his ranger status and goes to work for Grace, Matt is also there as the green ranger. Billy keeps his distance for a while; the guy is more or less a massive dick. Especially over something that wasn’t Billy’s fault. Billy’s also not taking pot shots at his friends or Zordon over it with Matt. They start dating after the War, and Matt’s final betrayal. More because he finally wore Billy down, but Billy had a good time hanging out with him again. And then both of them had the rude realization at the same time of “I am attracted to this man-fuck he noticed-oh he’s into it” which snowballed. They adopted one kid, and had another via help from alien technology mixed with a little magic. Nora, aged 26, is a professional hockey player. Matt decided he was going to support her sport even if it wasn’t his sport. Billy quickly developed a love of hockey at one of her events when she was little. Mostly because this game is ridiculous. Though he does worry about her on the ice. A lot. They adopted her when she was five, and she’s loud and enthusiastic and very rarely is she ever sad or genuinely upset. Her opinion on things is mostly “be friendly at it or challenge it to a fight” and generally speaking the options work enough she’s never needed to figure out other plans of action. She met her wife during a game. She’s from an opposing team. Nora gave her a concussion; she knocked Nora’s front teeth out. This was par for the course and they bonded in hospital. Billy’s still trying to figure out HOW. Matt thinks it’s hilarious. Is the green dragon ranger. She is legitimately feared by most and can solve most problems without suiting up. The threat is enough.

Their other child is Abner. He’s socially transitioning, he’s 18. He wants to be a writer. He and his sister have a very loving if slightly antagonistic relationship. When Abner came out to her, Nora’s response was “well now you don’t need to steal my clothes. Give them back” which lead to an argument but not the one Abner was expecting. They negotiated the clothing situation. Abner’s not giving back a pair of boots; they look way too good on him. Matt and Billy both support him. Matt sometimes slips up with name, however he’s quick to correct himself. Billy helped Abner choose his name, and was the first person he came out to. Abner is a little self conscious about his looks, and about his public image. More in regards to if he’s going to make his family look bad. Like Matt he tends to brood and focus on negative details way too much. Like Billy he tends to strive for perfection and his vocabulary makes it hard for people to understand him.

Eugene Skullovitch;

Matt dives head first into the villain persona, and is happily doing so. He's thriving. Until he's forced into an ultimatum; save Bulk and Skull from certain death by the hands of Goldar, or vanquish the Solar Rangers. Against his better judgment, he saves Bulk and Skull. Skull, unfortunately for timing wise, had said he'd kiss whoever saved their lives minutes before Matt saved them. He's a man of his word, but he also punched him in the mouth immediately after. Matt's confused as hell. So instead of chasing after Kim, begins chasing after Skull because what was THAT. This leads to a very weird redemption arc because Matt has realized 2 things; he likes being kissed by Skull and he does not want Skull mad at him anymore. Cut to fifteen years later; they've got a kid of their own and no actual idea how they got there really. But, they're happy, don't hate each other's guts, their kid's thriving, it's all good. The entire empire of evil absolutely hates them though and Matt somehow managed to get himself on the shit list of Thor. As long as he doesn't go out while it's thunderstorming he should be fine.

Their son is ten, his name is Jude Cook. Jude is one of the weirdly luckiest kids alive. He's survived an insane amount of attempts on his life, falls, kidnappings, and things he should otherwise not survive. His parents have stopped asking how. Loki helped give them a son, which is partly why Thor's pissed, so they've at this point accepted demigod baby is just gonna do what a demigod baby do. It's probably for the best. Spike's his older brother, and is training with Loki to be some sort of spirit of shapeshifting mischief. They both love causing mild trouble. Like Skull, Jude's got a fear of flying which makes things a little interesting. Skull's got his sons and his partner on a very very strict promise; if the shenanigans could cause an enemy of something power, walk away. Walk far away. Neptune exists. We don't want to get on the bad side of Neptune.

in a tangential version, Billy coparents with the two, and studies demigod ten year old, and deals with the Norse gods being in his business. At the very least nobody's been sucked into Ares' prison jar, so that's good.

*Bonus Poly of Billy Cranston, Matt Cook, and Eugene Skullovitch has all above children mentioned. They live in a large house, Eugene's a famous rockstar and restaurant chain owner, and they actually use every room in said house. In this version they met via Matt asking the only person he knew with experience in bdsm for some help with his newly realized kinks; Skull's payment was pizza nights and then Billy got dragged in because he was certain Matt was abusing Skull, but realized it was fine, actually. And fun.

Tommy Oliver;

Tommy and Matt did not really like each other at the beginning. Matt blames Tommy for so so much, but can't do anything about it, and Tommy's missing Dragon Green something terrible and dealing with massive amounts of PTSD for related but different reasons than Matt. Rita trapped them together in a gladitorial area of the Dark Dimension, and Tommy and Matt managed to talk to each other and get into an understanding. When they started dating, it was actually Grace who saw an opportunity, not Rita. But it’d be three more years before she could enact the plan. She didn’t tell Terona, and she was intending to eventually get every coin as well, for a full set.

Verdun Cook is 24, he’s the green dragon ranger, and he’s never met his dads. He’s a top agent for protection of earth. He thinks his parents gave him up to Grace. They think he died in infancy, an unfortunate complication in how he was made. They also think the dragon dagger was destroyed as well, around the same time. When parents and son finally meet, Tommy and Matt are furious. Billy’s furious. Terona's furious. He got Verdun to Tommy and Matt when he found out, even. Everyone’s furious. Matt and Tommy have Verdun live with them to acclimate to civilian life, and get used to being a person. His entire life has been as a weapon; he’s trying to very rapidly learn how to be human. It’s not like he was a success in the program either; the plan was a whole team of legacy rangers in their parents Colors, and he was the only one they could get.

Currently the only people allowed to mess with Tommy and Matt’s DNA is Billy and the Aquitarans and, hilariously, Zedd. He only made a clone. He was very transparent about what he was intending for the clone. Tommy knows where the clone is. He DIDN’T know where his son was, that he was alive, what Grace was intending or what he was doing. He and Matt are in agreement; If they had to chose they’d choose Zedd with their DNA.

When they thought their biological son had died; they adopted. Ricky is fifteen, not associated with a color, and is trying to get used to this with along with their dads. Ricky really is trying to be nice as well, but his overenthusiasm and attempts at bonding are often coming off too strong and borderline antagonistic. He doesn't mean to be. But the bright side is Ricky’s got someone to hang out with. And better yet, Verdun knows nothing about video games, pop culture, or really anything. So. Who wants to watch Star Wars? Ricky's got mixed feelings about his brother, but they're ranging from sad to excited, there's nothing jealousy related. Their dads are awesome, and he's sad Verdun never got to grow up with their dads. And he's excited to be able to have fun with his brother. Ricky is very excitable, and works on the school newspaper. He does volleyball, and has goals to be valedictorian when he graduates. Friendly, upbeat, can sometimes take things too far, but he tries to make those moments right.

They’re all making up for lost time with Verdun. It’s long overdue. At least both kids get along.

Trini Kwan;

Trini smacked sense into him after the upteenth pity party. She also forced him to come along for a mission in space with the Solar Rangers. He wanted to be let in on the whole thing? Fine! They could do that! Welcome to space Matt, everyone you meet is going to die or kill you! Have fun!

After, he put the dagger up, and he and Trini actually talked about what happened on the moon. She also retired from being a ranger, and they focused on taking a page from Bulk and Skull; being helpful as civilians. Matt asked Trini to marry him, and Trini said no. They made a game of it for a few years before she finally did say yes, when they were both financially stable.

They have Minh, and do foster parenting. Currently fostering JJ Oliver, due to unforeseen events leading to both Tommy and Kat unable to care for their kid for the time being. It’s hard being s foster family, but it’s nice being able to see the kids go back to their parents or move on to hopefully better situations. Matt’s at peace, and Trini is too. Trini is a plane mechanic; Matt is a fireman.

Zack Taylor;

During everything Zack and Matt were friends with benefits, though Matt tended to use Zack as an emotional scapegoat as well. Zack finally had enough after a bit, and told Matt either he got his head out of his ass or they weren’t continuing. He was serious, too, and Matt got left in the lurch for a little while before actually looking at himself long and hard and deciding whether or not his grudge was worth losing Zack again. It wasn’t. His parents loved Zack, Kira loved Zack, and most importantly he loved Zack. He came out to his parents and family, and then put in the effort to get over himself to get Zack back. One daughter by surrogate parent, and Matt owes Kim big time. She’s made it clear though. This was for Zack. He gets this, and accepts he and Kim are probably never even going to be friends. His and Zack’s daughter is Layla Cook-Taylor. Layla is sixteen, tiny firecracker of positivity. She has her low moments, but she’s never down for long. She likes swimming and playing guitar. She dances with Zack in dance classes and Matt adores her so so much. She’s frank and earnest and tries her best. She doesn’t give up easily if ever. White ranger. Saba loves her, too. Yes Matt has gotten in arguments with the uppity dagger why do you ask?

Jason Lee Scott;

Getting with Jason felt a little like leaning how to breathe again. Jason came home and Matt quickly got into sparring with him every weekend, like old times. It devolved into a lot of pent up rage related sex. And then all of that was gone…and there were two angry hurt teenagers who didn’t know how to be healthy about love or sex. Cut to fifteen years later, Jason’s a mechanic, Matt’s an accountant. And nothings changed. In between then and now, Jason had a kid. He doesn’t remember who the mother was, and anyway Diego Scott was left on his porch basically. He’s four. Matt likes the way Diego likes piggy backs. And dinosaurs and zombies. Matt likes how whole he feels with Jason and Diego. It’s pretty late in life, but he’s willing to make a go of this, if Jason is willing. And so far, he is. Diego keeps the two on their toes, being ready to get into the thick of everything and anything. But he's four, that's typical, and he's Jason's. And Matt thinks the kid's the best.

Sharkie;

Surprisingly the two manage to click and gel together really well. Three kids, two boys and a girl. Lexie Cook aged 24, Gavin Cook aged 19, and Quincy Cook, aged 17. Sharkie and Matt bonded over being left behind by their friends, though Sharkie doesn’t have any ill will to Bulk or Skull. Stuff happens. The first time he morphed he did it to impress Sharkie and she laughed in his face. He then spent the rest of his life trying to impress her, and stumbled into becoming a better person in the process.

Lexie Cook works as a radio host for a popular music station. She has a popular segment where she runs down the monster of that week and ranks it’s strengths and weaknesses and how to avoid it while putting out a prediction for the next week’s. She does this in between her music playlist, and she’s been right in her predictions a few times. Starts and ends her show saying hi or goodbye to her parents. She has a huge sweet tooth and will do anything for sweets. Lately her brother Gavin's been Off, so she's been adding him in the hi and goodbye, and a 'hang in there bud' as well. not associated with a color

Quincy “Flea” Cook is one of the punks at school, and one of the comedy duo. He's antagonistic to the 'goody twerps' Matt just knows is the power rangers, and neither he nor Sharkie really know if they should step in or just let this play out. Currently letting it play out. Quincy’s grown a lot since the current team's shown up, and he's gotten braver, less self serving, and a lot more noble. Matt's just made sure he's well aware he needs to get out of a situation if buildings are falling. No exceptions. He can grab the person closest to him but he is staying out of the area. Sharkie is making sure he also knows when to stop antagonizing, and know who and what all monsters are. Quincy is in love with art but he's got a Reputation. He's gotten a reputation for being spraypainting sides of buildings. His murals are always well done, but with a sense of humor, and often calling out the villains. Something's up with his older brother though, so he's been trying to figure out what. not associated with a color

Gavin Cook's currently working for the villains. Mind controlled, he's not really even interested in power rangers, normally. Evil ranger sixth ranger, he's been living with a roommate since he was eighteen in an apartment near his parents house and sister's apartment (the reasoning being this is his first try at being properly independent, and if he needs help they're near him to assist if need be). They don't spend enough time with him to know anything other than he's not acting right. Quincy's actively trying to figure out what's wrong though, and Gavin's dreading the day he's going to be told to attack his own family members. He's the villainous Maximum Ranger, and he's waiting for the good rangers to free him and his roommate so he can get back to not caring about power rangers. and hug his family. and go get therapy because yea...he needs to Unpack This. When not a mindcontrolled villain, Gavin's pretty chill. He lets Quincy hang out to get away from their parents, and usually is playing music while watching his brother. He really doesn't give a damn about power rangers, could care less. Matt was one, and that's fine, he's not anymore and Gavin doesn't care about the legacy. He works at the local coffeeshop, which is where the good rangers love hanging out. He hates spying on them, he used to love the atmosphere, and he knows his dad and his job is why he's currently here. All his parents know is he went missing for a week and came back, well, off. They're there when he asks for help, the kicker being, right now Gavin literally cannot.

(maximum is a shade of green)

Marleau Eskin;

He got with her in high school to get back at his former friends and ex girlfriend. It was a joke, turns out he’s the joke. But he and Marcel don’t talk to Marleau anymore. Matt’s a sports reporter, and Marcel’s a professional esport gamer in his late 20’s. Matt sees his kid on the weekends for weekly lunches and check ins. Had to take a second when Marcel said he’d started dating Minh Kwan. Had to decide if the anger was worth it. It wasn’t. He’s not talking to the group still, but Marcel’s got his blessing, and he's fine with Marcel seeing Minh. That has to count for something. Matt was able to prove without a shadow of a doubt that Marleau was a negligent parent, and had left their kid in frankly dangerous situations when he was young. Marcel broke his arm left alone at a park, and Matt was never more happy or enraged. But, it lead to Marcel being genuinely happy as the son of a single parent, so Matt's happy to let him live his life. Also somewhat relieved Minh or her family heard the last name 'Cook' and is still letting this happen. Marcel is not associated with a color.

Stan Skullovitch;

They were kidnapped together and replaced with putties. They were tortured together, and formed a trauma bond. Stan had enough sense to say 'no' to a relationship with someone who 1) hated his brother and 2) was still in highschool. However they kept running into each other over the years. When they did get together, it was when Matt had his head out of his ass a little, and was in a stable job. Stan was a singer at a lounge, and the trauma attraction had settled into a healthier flavor. Everyone's got their opinions on the two getting together but it seems okay right now? Rita as Mystic Mother used magic to give them a child because as Matt pointed out in a confrontation with her; she kind of owed them big time. Ulysses "Bones" Skullovitch is twelve, and kind of a natural wanderer. It's not unusual for him to leave the house at dawn and come back around dinner time with all sorts of things in his pockets. He's not loud, but he's not shy. Prefers watching than acting, though will step up if need be. Stan finds it hard to not worry about him, but Spike and Spike's friends keep an eye on Bones while keeping their distance. He's alright, he's just the kind of person that likes being by himself playing. However he might be getting some friends, and Matt's starting to wonder if power rangers is a genetic thing. Bones will be a red ranger when old enough.

Violet Arias;

she slapped him. Then yelled at him, then apologized because his cheek was swelling and her nail had accidentally caused a cut on his eyelid. He had to wear an eye bandage for two weeks and she gave him flowers. Then he apologized for, well. everything. After that they started dating, balancing his ranger status with school and her trying to be okay with it. They've been in hiding with their kids since Zedd put a price on Matt's head. Myrtle and Tyrian are fifteen and ten, respectively. They don't know their dad was a green ranger and still is when called to be so, Matt's not going to put them in danger over this. As much as he can help, anyway.

Myrtle Arias plays the trumpet in the school marching band. She's extremely good at coded cyphers, and wants to be the president of the united states one day. She's also on the chess team. She has no opinions on the power rangers or the monsters that seem to constantly show up. She's just trying to get through school without being shoved in a locker. Hard to connect to her dad, who was a popular kid, so it's easier to talk to and connect to her mom. is not associated with a color.

Tyrian Arias learned his name's the actual name for the color royal purple (named after the snails whose shells are used for the pigments) and decided he was going to make this his entire personality. He is a ten year old sixth ranger, he is not hiding this. His only saving grace is that he is constantly telling so many tall tales his parents aren't entirely sure if he's telling the truth (and if he is there will be WORDS with whoever gave him Purple), and everyone else thinks he's just an exceptionally imaginitve kid. Matt is...hoping the extra excitable new ranger is not, in fact, his son. However, deep down he knows it's Tyrian and he's freaking out.

if there's others I'm not thinking of or missed, please let me know :)

[falcqns]

tw doug being a ableitest meanie

it had been a long and rough day, first you were 2 minutes late due to traffic which caused your T.O, Tim to be mad at you for not being on time. thankfully Lucy, your other T.O was there and was able to calm him down. the day started rather normal besides the incident with Tim. following Tim and Lucy's orders while they test you on what to do in certain situations. the end of the day seem to come slow but you know you did something right today when you heard Tim tell you "nice job today, boot" and then the echo of Lucy playfully slapping him and saying "they have a name. you did a great job today Y/N, we're proud." after hearing both Lucy and Tim's words you started happy stimming not caring who was watching. Lucy then hugged you, and Tim patted your shoulder which signaled that your day was over and you can go home. which made you even more happy knowing you'd be able to slip into little space soon. as you're walking to your car you hear someone's footsteps beside you. out of the corner of your eye you notice it's Doug, which causes you to pick up your pace. Doug had been messing with you for a while but you had been too scared to tell your T.O's incase they thought you were being a baby about it. "Y/N!" Doug calls, you ignore him. "Y/N! I'm talking to you" he says and grabs your shoulder. "Please just leave me alone. I just wanna go home Doug." you say. "Jeez no need to be so rude, I just have a question" he replies. "What?" you say, thinking if you respond to his question he'll actually leave you alone. "That thing you were doing with your hands when you were talking to Bradford and Chen, what's that called?" he wonders. "What do you mean?" you question back, genuinely curious as to what he meant. "You were like flapping your hands and shit, while also like jumping up and down when they praised you." he states. "Oh that's called stimming. I do it when I-" you try to respond realizing you had been happy stimming earlier and didn't know at the time. Your response is cut short when Doug cuts you off, "They actually gave it a name?? I mean I guess they name everything that's weird these days. I'd expect it out of a baby but not a full grown adult." "It's n-not weird. I-It's normal." you try to defend yourself while feeling tears pile up in your eyes because yet again, Doug chose you to pick on. "Aw, is the little baby gonna cry? It is weird Y/N. Just as weird as being in love with your two T.O's." he says as he shoves your shoulder. "Have a goodnight!" he states as he walks off. you stand there for a moment trying not to cry but what pushes you over edge is when you realize that some point in the conversation with Doug you'd slipped into little space.

"what am i gonna do now?" you mumble out loud as you slide down the wall. when yet again you hear footsteps, curling into a ball as you think it's Doug coming back but you're proven wrong when you hear "Boot?" and "Y/N" from Tim and Lucy at the same time. "What are you doing here? I thought you'd be gone by now." Tim speaks. you only sniffle in response. after your very little response you feel Lucy sit down beside you and her motion for Tim to take your other side. "What's wrong Y/N?" Lucy works up the courage to ask. That's when you break and start sobbing and giving out "sorries" like you owed them to your T.O's. Lucy then realizes through your slurred speech that you're a little and mouth that to Tim. Tim, figuring they're not going to get much information from you while your little and crying goes to check the cameras and tells Lucy comfort you. while alone Lucy asks if she can pull you into her lap, in which you nod. she starts whispering comforting words to you when Tim comes back. "So what happened?" Lucy mouths over your shoulder. Tim crouches beside you two and tells Lucy what he saw while looking you in the eyes, he ends with "Isn't that right little one?" and you slowly nod. Lucy then makes a bold move and says, "Tim I don't want to leave them alone after today. Can we take them home?" and then looks down at you "If that's okay with you of course little one." you sleepily nod into Lucy's shoulder while Tim kisses her check as a way of saying yes. As they got into the car with you Lucy sat beside you and on the way to their house you fell asleep on her shoulder. little did you know, they would be talking about how you've been their missing piece all along and how they would plan to ask you out tomorrow morning after they explained everything.

AHHHHHHHHH THIS IS SO CHTE I LOVE IT

To be honest with you my life wasn't one worth complaining about, but it sure wasn't one I was crazy with having. Growing up in a small town where hardly anything new happens. Same old shit, same old different day.

Oh? Me? I'm just another closted gay kid in the sticks. I was from the city but when my mom fell for this farmer guy, I was forced to move out here. Nowadays I just spend my days in the town because my new step-dad kicks me out of my room all the time. While I was walking down the very small networked streets, I couldn't help but just go to the nearest alleyway to take my anger out on a few bags of trash. I was wearing steel toe boots so at least my feet were somewhat protected should there be glass or metal.

I wasn't angry at my mom for wanting to live her life in happiness. I was angry that I was forced to be a part of a community that would immediately lynch me if word got out that I was gay.

As I took my anger out on the trash, one happened to split open. And there among the garbage was this crazy looking necklace that could've came out of a movie. Normally I don't mess with stuff like that but I couldn't help but take it and put it on. Next thing I realize is that my body becomes intangible and I was practically hovering slightly in the air. I was practically a spirit now!

Throughout the day I was partaking in mischief throughout the town. Making dishes float in the diner and coffee pouring itself in a cup, writing stupid shit on foggy mirrors in the barber ships, whispering during the church sermons, oh I was going the whole nine yards! But during my spree of causing fear, I saw the one man who was the target of my wet dreams and fantasies. His name is Ryan and he was walking around town waiting on his friends. No doubt he was completely unaware of the havoc I was causing.

For clarification, Ryan was as idiotic as he was muscular. Poor thing was too dumb to understand things like bigotry or racism or even to see when someone was making passes at him. He was just nice to everyone. It honestly blew my mind how someone that hot can be so idiotic and nice. As such I would touch myself many of nights to the thought of him being in a relationship with me. To be cuddled and held in those beefy arms and spoiled by a man with no mean bone in his body. But then the wet dreams of me getting railed by a certain bone in his body also intrigued me. However, I realized recently he's planning on leaving to go to college in L.A. in a couple of days. How he managed to do something as go to college was beyond me. But I was both happy for him but envious that he was leaving this static shithole.

Using my newfound abilities, I made some trash fall in the alleyway so he could walk towards the source. And just like a moth to a flame, he did just that. I didn't want to scare him but I wanted to use these new abilities to just be close to him. To take in his scent one last time and see him from a closer angle before he was gone forever. As he looked at the trash bag, I gave a deep inhale to take in his cologne while seeing those rippling muscles hidden behind his thin blue shirt. What I wasn't expecting was to get so lost in his scent that I didn't realize he got up and ran into me.

Everything was black for a bit until my eyes opened. I was looking the opposite direction but I didn't feel light anymore. I felt incredibly heavy. That's when I realized that I must've entered Ryan's body when he walked into me. I was shocked but I couldn't do anything to show it. I was just a passenger in Ryan's body. At first I didn't think much about it since I could just hitch a ride in Ryan to live life alongside of him, but soon my thoughts were replaced with a new idea.

Why hitch a ride as Ryan when I can BE Ryan??

These thoughts must've held more power than I thought because Ryan stopped in his tracks and noticed his cock beginning to tent in his shorts. He shrugged and was going to continue walking until I willed his feet to stop. No. The Ryan who walks out of that alleyway will be me!

My emotions caused his confusion to form a cocky grin as he peeled off his shirt. He began to feel his muscles and kiss his biceps as I continued to force my soul as the owner of his body. As he was busy worshipping himself, I started forcing myself into his brain by thrusting my essence inside. This caused Ryan to moan as he began to get more cocky over his appearance. With each thrust of my essence, my personality, my mannerisms, it would all send ineffable pleasure to his system.

His moans picked up as he massaged his massive pecs and played with those perky nipples of his as I gained full control of his brain.

"Fuck this towb. Glad I'm leaving all these stupid asses behind." He laughed.

That made me hard. Not once have I ever heard Ryan swear. My personality and everything else was merging with his own. But it looks like I'm the dominant aspect in this fusion. With my newfound influence, I had his soul expose itself to me in which I devoured it and merged with it. This process caused Ryan to grip his head and keel over. I was overtaking everything that he was as my soul spread itself throughout his body. I would've expected Ryan to shout and plead but instead he was moaning and laughing. Looks like my influence really infected him.

With one final push, Ryan stood up and let out a mighty roar as his muscles contracted all at once and relaxed as his cock released ropes of cum in his underwear from all the pleasure. His face was one of apathy before he smirked.

"Hello world." I say in my new deep voice.

I look down to see my heaving muscles and laugh.

"Fuck. I really did it."

I started stroking my still hard cock through my shorts until I fired another massive load inside, and just to test my strength I ripped my underwear off from my mighty legs and started eating the massive load caught within.

"Fuck yes . . . so good . ." I groan out as I feast.

I tossed my shredded underwear into a trashcan once I was done and walked out to the main street. There my now flaccid monster was hitting my legs and my shorts with each step I took. I sat at a bench to test something out. As I tried my hardest to focus on separating from Ryan, I couldn't. It seems I'm permanently fused to him.

"Fine by me." I laugh as I get up from the bench and start heading back to Ryan's place so I can pack and leave this one horse town in my dust.

The movie theatre dimmed, the beginning credits of the film reeling as a montage of a city played in the background. You settled back in your seat, accepting the fact that you had been stood up, determined not to let it ruin the movie you had already paid for. That’s right; instead of treating yourself to a new pair of shoes or a set of notebooks, you agreed to meet up with a sleazy guy from class after weeks of him pleading.

You sighed slightly, chewing on the inside of your cheek as you realized you hadn’t even wanted to see the film and had only agreed because he suggested it. Someone moved into a seat near you, his legs stretching as he slumped down, purely due to his towering height. You stiffened, crossing your legs to inch away from him at the sight of his various tattoos peeking out from beneath his dark corduroy jacket.

He carded a hand through his dirty blond hair, revealing an eyebrow ring as he swept his bangs off his forehead momentarily. You tore your eyes from him as you noticed the cigarette balanced behind his ear. Even with the seat between the two, you could smell the smoke on his clothes mixing with the faintest hint of vanilla.

You folded your hands in your lap as you noticed him give you a once over. He reached towards you, making you flinch slightly before you realized he was holding out his bag of candy to you. “Want a jellybean? You look upset,” he motioned, voice low as he whispered.

You shook your head quickly, muttering a thank you and playing with your fingers. He shrugged, watching you for a second more before turning back to the movie. He tucked his arm behind his head, chewing on his lip as if debating whether he should keep talking to you or just let you be. You weren’t really sure which outcome you preferred.

On one hand, he fit every one of your guilty pleasure fantasies, while on the other, he terrified the hell out of you. It was more of an intimidating feeling, residing in the way each of his movements caught your attention and the way you could barely keep your eyes off his grungy appearance. Your mind drifted from the plot of the movie and towards the images of his tattooed hands wrapping around your throat and giving you a reason to be scared.

“You here alone?” He asked, popping another jellybean in his mouth. The action made you think of your grandpa waning himself off of tobacco when you were younger. Those jellybeans were blue and a flavor of comfort for you now, while the man before you seemed to only fish for the red ones.

You nodded hesitantly. “I got stood up,” you mumbled, making him shake his softly. “What about you? Are you here alone?” You wondered where you had gathered the courage to talk to him, his demeanor making you want to run, but his voice was a symphony to your ears in the darkness of the movie house, drawing you closer with each of his lulling words.

He wet his lips. “So far,” he answered. He stuck out his large hand for you to shake, his skin was coarse against yours as his finger reached to brush against your wrist. “I’m Clay,” he added, his name rolling into your mind and nestling itself into your memory just due to the tone of his voice. After you gave him your name his mouth curled into a soft smirk. “It’s nice to meet you,” he remarked. You blushed for an unknown reason, thankful for the darkness to mask your emotions.

Someone entered the theatre, marching up to Clay and leaning down to his ear. “Dream, we have to go now,” the guy whispered into his ear, just loud enough that you could hear him. Clay's face twisted into an annoyed expression while the guy turned to leave.

Clay straightened his jacket on his shoulders. “Not to seem to forward, but can I get your number?” He queried. You raised your eyebrows at him, basking in the fact that despite his friend’s agitation, Clay was taking his sweet time making his move on you.

As if you were acting on instinct, you grabbed a pen from your bag as he held his hand out to you again. You found a bare spot on his skin and wrote your number as clearly as you could manage with your shaking hands at the way his eyes watched you alluringly. Without thinking, you blew on the ink, trying to keep it from smearing. You froze, realizing what you were doing as he bit back a smirk.

He was completely eating up your awkwardness.

He reluctantly took his hand back, being pulled up by his friend. “I’ll call you,” he whispered on his way out, heat rushing to your ears.

The movie ended shortly after he left, sending you back out onto the city streets and away from your cocoon where you had forgotten about the sleazy classmate and let thoughts of Clay weasel their way into your nerves. As you stepped through the doors, your phone began to ring, kick-starting your heart at the thought of it being Clay. Instead, it was a friend of yours asking how your date had gone. You tucked the phone between your ear and shoulder as you pulled a piece of gum out of your purse.

Her ramblings went deaf on your ears as a car violently pulled up to an alleyway a block from you. You squinted as you moved closer, your apartment being in that direction anyway. A few men got from the car and that’s when Clay stepped into view from behind one of the buildings, flicking his cigarette to the ground and snubbing it out with the toe of his heavy boots as he watched them get out. You could see your number still written on his hand, mixing with his tattoos.

He shoved his hands in his pockets, looking tiredly at the group of men that had come from the car as his friends began to shout at them. Clay chewed on his lip, looking around and away from the conversation before his gaze met yours. His eyes widened slightly before he turned back, an attempt to keep the attention away from you.

One of the car members grabbed for Clay’s jacket, yanking him closer as if to get him to pay mind to the man talking. Clay sent him a cocky grin, towering over him. With his normal height and his boots, he had at least a foot on the guy. One of Clay’s friends separated the two, breaking the groups into a brawl while shouting was accompanied with fists and elbow jabs.

You turned, walking in another direction as briskly as you could without bringing attention to yourself and the group of boys in the alleyway. Little did you know, Clay was watching you leave and kicking himself for it.

The next day, your mind was racing with Clay’s whereabouts. He seemed like he had his opponents under control, but what if one of them had brought a knife or another weapon? It wasn’t unusual for boys in the city to butt heads like they were, but the fact that you’d let one nearly pick you up the night before was boggling.

You gripped the strap of your bag as you crossed the street, stepping onto the sidewalk and adjusting your skirt. You kept your head down as you passed various people coming and going from their apartments before your ears picked up on a familiar voice. You picked your eyes up, spotting Clay and a small group of guys walking together. He popped a jellybean in his mouth after chiming into their conversation.

You held your breath as they neared you and that’s when you noticed his bruised face and scraped knuckles. Your number was faded on his skin, but still apparent on the back of his hand. He smiled at you, breaking off from his group and walking backward to match your pace. You bit back a smile. “Glad to see you’re okay,” you mumbled, barely able to make eye contact with him. His friends called out for him and he waved them off, walking in line with you.

He chuckled lightly. “Yeah, sorry. I would have called last night but…” he made a gesture to his torso as he trailed off. “I broke a rib. I didn’t really… I don’t.” He laughed sheepishly as you raised your eyebrows. “I’m fine. It’s good,” he brushed.

You picked your gaze off the pavement finally, focusing on his discolored black eye and busted lip. He didn’t seem to be too hurt, but he wore his wounds well. “You’re not scared of me, are you?” He asked, voice changing slightly. You drew in a sharp breath, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear before it could get further knotted in the wind. A few people narrowed their eyes at the two of you and you wondered how you looked together. What kind of juxtaposition it was; his tall, dark figure looking like death in Doc Martens while you barely passed his shoulder in height with your less intimidating color scheme.

You debated how to answer him. Your eyes flickered to his dangly earring; a silver ankh. He ate another jellybean. “I was at first. I’m still kind of weary of you, I guess,” you muttered, making a smile bite into his features.

Clay ran his fingers through his hair, which you were beginning to believe was a habit when he was coming up with what to say. “Do you want me to leave you alone?”

You shook your head. A blush crept to your cheeks. “No, I kind of like it,” you mumbled, barely audible enough for him to hear. His hand slipped into yours and you could feel your chest tighten.

“You like being scared of me?” His voice was dripping with allure, making you bite your tongue in a flushed embarrassment. “You just keep getting better and better,” he teased, making your ears burn.

You weren’t sure how you ended up there, but God, were you thankful for Clay’s hands as they kneaded your ass, his lips pressing against yours. He ground his hips against yours, moaning into your mouth as your nails sank into his tattooed skin. His tongue pressed past your lips, his large hand moving to fist in the sheets beside you before dragging up your shirt to grip your breast.

You breathlessly moaned as he broke your kiss, lips trailing down your body as he sat back on his knees, dragging your underwear off as your shirt was also discarded to the floor. He looped his arms around your thighs, bringing you closer to his mouth as his concentrated stare shifted to your eyes before he buried himself between your legs, your body tensing as a groan ripped through your body. Your fingers carded through his soft blond hair, tugging slightly in appraisal as he pulled away from you.

Clay looked up at you again, slowly pressing one of his long fingers into you, you moaned his name, reaching one of your hands up to grip at the headboard above you. “Does that feel good, sweetheart?” He asked, voice deep with lust as his breath fanned against your wet core. He pushed another finger into you as you nodded. He pressed his lips to your thigh. “I can’t believe you’re scared of me,” he mocked, making you whimper as his fingers pulsed against your sweet spot.

He pressed his lips to your core again, tongue teasing at your nerves as you caught your lips between your teeth. You moved your knee further up his arm for a better angle, driving him deeper. He pulled away, his fingers speeding up. “So needy,” he chuckled, the sound enough to send you over the edge if you really thought about it.

“Clay, please. I want you,” you whined softly, your thighs threatening to close around his head. His eyes sparkled devilishly, leaning away from you before tugging your legs towards him. He pushed his fingers into your mouth, jaw tensing as you moaned around him.

He grabbed your hips, flipping your body and pushing your shoulders into the mattress. You heard him unbuckling his belt and your fingers knitted into the sheets beneath you. He pulled you back by the shoulders, hand moving to hold onto your neck. “Maybe I should give you something to be scared of,” he chided, making a shiver run up your spine as he pushed your thighs apart driving himself up into you. You were sure you would tear in half at the sheer size of him, but you bit back your whimpers at the pleasuring pain.

One of your hands moved to grip onto his arm as he thrust into you, his teeth threatening to dig into your shoulder as you moaned. His other hand moved to tease at your nerves, his determination to summon your orgasm sending your head reeling. You tilted back your head, resting against his shoulder as his hand tightened around your throat.

He let go of you, dipping you against the mattress again as his fist knotted in your hair. He steadied himself, leaning on one of his arms beside your head. Your hand wrapped around his wrist as he thrusted into you at an ungodly pace, lips hovering beside your ear as he grunted your name and how good you felt.

You pushed your hips up against him turning your head enough that he pressed his lips against yours, the vibrations from his moans sending heat throughout your body. Clay’s tongue slipped into your mouth roughly, tasting your whimpers and lust. His teeth dragged against your lip as you felt him throb inside of you.

He pushed your shoulder back, moving you on your side as your leg curled around. At the new angle, he could drive himself deeper into you; dark green eyes focused on yours as his warmed breath cascaded over your chest. His hand moved to your jaw, running his thumb against your burning lips as his sights were almost hungrily looking upon you. Your breathing became shallow as he smirked at you, moving his hand to your throat again.

He leaned down, slowing his pace to drag in and out of you as his lips were close to your ear. He applied pressure, your breath hitching in your throat. “So pretty. Good girl, taking me so well,” he praised, making you moan as he kissed you again before speeding up his thrusts. You moaned out his name again, finishing as your eyes fluttered shut. He chuckled darkly, pounding into you harder. “Fuck,” he hissed, lips pressing to the skin behind your ears, digging his face into your hair as he chased his high.

He exhaled, breath blanketing your skin before he kissed your shoulder, cheek, and finally your lips in a quiet appraisal. You pulled him into the spot beside you. He ran his fingers through his hair as you curled against his side, his other hand brushing softly against your arm. You knotted your fingers with his, brushing your thumb against where your faded number rested. “Didn’t you just break a rib?” You asked, finally noticing the slide bruising on his side.

Clay chuckled softly. “Yeah, I think I was running on adrenaline until a second ago,” he groaned.
