[bisexualmultifandommess]

This man is gay 🏳️‍🌈

During his teen years he had a lot of internalised homophobia due to Sid and Kreese. They influenced him a lot when he was younger.

He dated Ali because his friends were there at the time they started dating and he felt pressured. Ali found out pretty quickly and agreed to stay with him for a bit because she knew it was something he was struggling with.

He didn’t want to accept it at first and it lead to him trying to act too macho which lead to him acting like a dick and Ali eventually broke up with him. She didn’t say anything about him being gay but was still upset about the way he treated her because she thought he was her friend.

Bobby definitely knew about his sexuality but didn’t say anything because he didn’t want to scare him.

The big struggle started the day he met Daniel LaRusso.

He took one look into those brown doe eyes and was instantly gone for him. This angered him and he went into denial because he was also scared of Kreese finding out and hurting him. His anger and fear lead to him acting the way he did. His major feelings for Daniel confused him and he tried to convince himself he was jealous because Daniel started dating his ex-girlfriend.

He became a little obsessed with Daniel.

To be fair all of Cobra Kai we’re obsessed with Daniel.

He felt so angry at Halloween but also really guilty and pissed off at himself too when he later went home.

He still wasn’t able to admit it until he got much older and by then he had already had a relationship with Shannon and they’d had Robby.

He’s always felt something for Daniel and seeing him again ignited it.

Miguel often explains modern lgbt terms to him and can probably tell that Johnny has it bad for Daniel but doesn’t want to push it.

I think becoming a mentor to so many kids in the lgbt community and becoming proper friends with Daniel helped him come to terms with his sexuality. It was a journey but once he realised that Kreese was toxic and he needed to drop him he was able to heal and eventually his internalised homophobia started to fade. He was able to become more comfortable with himself.

Johnny still doesn’t know anything about queer people despite being one himself but he’s trying.

He’s shocked when he finds out that Daniel is bisexual and even more shocked when Daniel reveals that even back in high school when they hated each other he found Johnny attractive.

Once they start getting cool with each other they definitely start dating (Amanda and Daniel divorced but are still besties). Both of them still have a rivalry but it has more blatant flirting and sometimes their bickering ends in them making out.

They literally talk about each other all the time.

Johnny finally comes out about being gay and his relationship with Daniel after spending the day with Ali.

He considers Sam and Anthony his kids too after a while (he still finds Anthony annoying but finds the kid is growing on him).

To celebrate him coming out the kids get him a pride flag headband (I don’t know what it’s called lmao the thing Daniel wears) and he acts like it’s stupid but they can tell he’s a little touched. He doesn’t wear it but he keeps it in a special place.

He went to his first pride parade with some of the kids and Daniel to see what it’s like.

He gets a little giddy when he gets to refer to Daniel as his boyfriend. He once got drunk and started telling everyone that he has “the hottest boyfriend ever” and claiming that his boyfriend is better than anyone else’s. Daniel was mortified and kept apologising to everyone as he followed him but was really pleased at the same time.

They’re both referred to as the Karate Boyfriends by the kids.

Yall see why nobody likes this lady? She can’t just admit she mislead people. She has to gaslight us to death and make Shannon the bad guy for asking a very simple follow up question.

The woman is insufferable.

Yall are not about to rewrite history on that lady. I was very much alive when she showed her ass after Tamir Rice’s mama asked for SK’s receipts

it’s always been Fuck Amanda Seales.

[eaglelarusso]

ok but I honestly don't know who I ship with my girl Amanda anymore like her and Carmen are so cute, and then so are her and Ali and Shannon too like wtf stop being cute with every girl if they're not actually you're girlfriends

[inevitablemoment]

Okay, so... I know this is a stupid thing for someone my age to get excited about, but... I just found that Paramount+ is releasing a Blue’s Clues movie with all three of the hosts, that Josh’s real life wife Amanda is in it, and Miranda (Magenta’s owner/friend in the original series) is making a cameo!

Now, as someone who rewatched the series as a coping mechanism during 2020, I have to ask... did anyone get any shippy vibes during her interactions with Steve? I mean...

Please don’t judge me. This is just me coping with the crazy world, post-show depression, and the fact that I’m literally turning eighteen on the last day of the year.

[needham-comics]

Still working on this one. Mister Sinister, Nathaniel Essex. I tried to design his comic look for live action. He wears layers of black leather like material. 

[whalepropaganda]

In honor of the start of the season, here’s this!

Now with the promised text-only edition below!

Slide 1:

[image: The Connecticut Whale logo (a blue silhouette of a whale surrounded by a blue, white, and green letter C appears in the background]

Your 2022-23 Connecticut Whale—a primer by whalepropaganda

 Slide 2: Overview.

The Connecticut Whale is a professional hockey team that plays within the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF; formerly known as the National Women’s Hockey League, or NWHL). The Whale is one of the Founding Four teams in the league and the only one of those four that has yet to win the Isobel Cup. They were really bad for several years, but now they’re really good!

NUMBER ONE IN THE LEAGUE LAST SEASON BAYBEYYYY

[image: A red arrow points toward a partial screenshot of the 2021-22 PHF standings. The Whale are at the top of the standings.]

anyway then they lost to Boston in the Isobel Cup Final and honestly I’m still Quite Annoyed About It

Whale games are broadcast on ESPN+ in the US, TSN+ in Canada, and ESPN Affiliates in other countries.

Whale home games will (mostly) take place at the International Skating Center of Connecticut in Simsbury.

[image: a partial map of New England. The location of the International Skating Center of Connecticut is circled in red and has an arrow pointing to it. The city of Boston is visible near the edge of the map and is crossed out with a red X]

[afriendlyblackhottie]

Ferris

Summary: You and Chris fight hard, but at least making up is always fun.

Pairings: Chris Evans x Black!Reader

Warnings: Smut, daddy skink, swearing, sex in public

(A/N: Okay so yes. I watched Insecure and decided having sex on a ferris wheel sounded kind of hot. Sue me. Also a little bit of a toxic relationship because I also love Euphoria.)

The original plan for today was simple. Hang out with your girls, have fun at this music festival, and then go to a diner afterward because you knew you’d be drunk and starving by the end of the night. Except like usual you were thinking about Chris and the stupid fight the two of you were having. It was like you couldn’t really have fun.

He’d gotten mad when he saw the outfit you’d picked for the occasion. The butterfly covered bralette and matching skirt was kind of revealing, but that was the point. He didn’t want “other men to see what was his,” or some shit like that. God, he could be so possessive. 

Of course, you wore it. You’d already bought it specifically for the occasion. With his credit card, you might add. You weren’t going to change in one minute just because he told you to. Except for your friend Amanda had already tagged you in a picture which he’d clearly seen since he’d been texting you almost non-stop all pissed off that you’d disobeyed him. 

Sometimes he irritated you so much. Like, yeah you wouldn’t trade him for the world, but did he have to be such an ass about it. Then it was conflicting because apart of you kind of liked it. Your big mean Daddy putting you in your place. Maybe that’s why he treated you like that. He knew that deep down you had a thing for it. Except right now all you wanted to do was sulk as you argued with him back and forth through your messages.

Yet despite this, you still felt so needy for him. Like all you wanted was for him to hold you. Maybe give you kisses and tell you that you looked good. It was so annoying how desperate you felt for him. Aside from all the fighting, he was a really good boyfriend. He was perfectly affectionate, amazing in bed, wanted to actually have a future with you, and made sure you had everything you’ve ever wanted. He took care of you well.

There were times when the negative thoughts reared their ugly heads. Like your friends. It seemed they only saw bad. Like how he was gone a lot, but like it’s for work and you got to travel with him all the time which was fun. Or the fighting. Which okay, fair enough. 

Sometimes it kind of just seemed like they were jealous. Like how’d you manage to snag Captain America of all people. Or why you put up with the things you did. Maybe when they find a boyfriend with a big dick and a bank account to match they’d understand. 

Until then your friends' opinions didn’t really mean anything to you. It’s not like you ever asked them for it anyway. They weren’t complaining when he’d pay for the spa trips or even the VIP passes to this thing, though. They loved him then.

You took a sip of the beer Shannon had just handed you. This is going to sound so dumb, but like, the taste of it was making you think of him. It reminded you of those times he’d come home from work and you’d have dinner waiting like the good little girlfriend you are. After you’d curl up on the couch. He’d pretty much down his beer as you unwinded, pressed into his side. 

Then at some point, he’d kiss you. It would start out all sweet and nice. He’d end up saying something funny and you’d giggle. He always said he loved your laugh. Then he’d pull you onto his lap, making you straddle him. 

Your kiss would turn deeper. Hungry. Like if you didn’t kiss him right now, you might float away. Your tongues would caress while you had your arms wrapped around his neck. You’d feel his bulge grow pressing against your usually covered pussy. 

That’s when you’d started grinding your hips because even the friction from his thickness was enough to get you close. He’d usually start out with his hands on your tits because even though he claimed to be an ass guy he always told you how much he loved your boobs. Then he’d pull you away to pull off your top bringing you back into him by putting his hand around your neck. Since you’d rather die than wear a bra at home, your naked body would be pressed against him even though he was still clothed. 

As his lips would begin to trail down your body, his hands would rest against your ass. Squeezing it, smacking it, helping you grind into him. Then he’d do this thing where he lifted you up to lay you down. His lips still on yours as he moved kept moving against you.

Then you’d finally get naked and he’d fuck you right there not even bothering to go to the room. His dick hitting every spot all at once because of how damn thick he was. He was the first man to fuck you right. Maybe that’s why you were so crazy about him.

In those moments afterward, you’d have to stop yourself. You could taste the soft ‘I love you’ that you wanted to say so badly on your tongue. It didn’t feel right saying it without knowing if he’d say it back to you. You weren’t sure if he would.

You swayed back and forth to the music, singing along. Amanda was twerking while Shannon and Kim were pretty similar to how you were. If you weren’t one second away from showing everyone your panties with how tiny your skirt was you’d probably be right next to her. 

Night had fallen and everything looked beautiful. The way the desert looked with the stage lit. The way they’d light up the ferris wheel. It was all so amazing. Yet your mind kept drifting. He hadn’t texted you back in a few hours which was weird for him when the two of you were fighting. 

You’d walked away from the group to throw away the beer bottle you didn’t feel like holding. Before you could turn around, you felt a hand on your waist and groaned because why the fuck do guys do that. Until you looked up seeing the blue eyes of your handsome boyfriend. 

Your breath hitched in your throat. Like it usually does because he was so fucking beautiful it wasn’t like you could help it. “Ch- Chris? What are you doing here?” For some reason, it felt like you’d gotten caught red-headed.

He shrugged. His hair was covered by the blue cap he was wearing, but it was so unmistakably him that you were surprised you weren’t being rushed by fangirls. “I missed you,” he replied.

You tilted your head to the side feeling all melty now from the simple phrase. “I missed you, too.” 

He pulled you into a hug, nuzzling his face in your hair. “Can we talk? Somewhere private.” 

You chuckled. “I don’t think we can really be anywhere private right now.” You glanced over at your friends who were rolling their eyes and such at the sight of him. Except for Shannon that is. She was really the only one on Team Chris. 

“The ferris wheel,” he suggested, looking up at the giant contraption. 

You scrunched up your nose. Just because you thought it was pretty didn’t mean you actually liked them. And, he knew that because every time you went to Disneyland you’d skip over it. “I don’t do ferris wheels.”

“I know, but just this once,” he said. “Just so we can talk.”

It was hard saying no to that face so you found yourself nodding. “Okay. Let me tell them I’ll be right back.”

Being Chris Evans he got to skip to the front of the line. The carriage was one of those enclosed ones. Similar to California Adventure’s, but of course not as big. Poor Chris looked squished on his side. At least it didn’t swing. 

You looked out the window. You were barely off the ground. Neither of you said anything. It was a little quieter here, but not much by much. A part of you wanted to go over there and take a seat on his lap as you went further.

“So,” he started, finally breaking the silence after you were a quarter of the way off the ground. “I just wanted to say that I’m sorry... you know for all the fighting.”

You weren’t really expecting that. Your eyes met his and you wanted to swoon, but you needed to keep your composure. “Why are we like this?” You asked. 

“I don’t want it to be,” he said. “I know this is going to sound fucking crazy, but I drove all the way here because at some point I realized that you’re more important than losing you over me not liking your outfit, which you look really cute by the way.”

You smiled. “You really think so?”

“You always do. You’re gorgeous, Honey. I’m so fucking sorry if I... if I make you feel like I don’t care because I do.” He took a deep breath. “I guess what I’m trying to say to you is that I love you, Y/N.”

“Really?” Your heart felt like it was going to explode. 

“I have since we met I think.”

“I love you, too,” you said. Leaning forward so you could kiss him. The inside of the carriage was dark so no one could really see into it, but then again people were probably watching it like a hawk just trying to catch a glimpse. He’d grabbed onto your hips like he did when the two of you were on the couch making it, making you straddle his lap. It honestly felt like you might as well be at home with how damn comfy he is. 

“I’m sorry, Baby,” he said. His hands rested on your ass he started kissing your neck. “I don’t ever want to lose you.” 

“You won’t,” you replied. He lifted up your bralette so he could kiss down your chest, taking a nipple into his mouth swirling his tongue around. You moaned feeling his dick hardening underneath you.

You reached between both of you to palm him in his jeans. He groaned as you rubbed him. You need to be quick because your carriage was moving again and clearly it couldn’t just end in a makeout session. Not with the way he was kissing you and you couldn’t leave your poor boyfriend all hard with blue balls. 

You unzipped his pants and smiled when his dick popped out. “Oh, Daddy,” you cooed. 

“That’s my girl,” he whispered in your ear. “Always ready for me, huh?”

“Always,” you repeated before kissing him again.

He pulled your panties to the side as he lifted your hips up to inch you down his length. He felt so fucking good inside of you. “That’s it, Honey. Ride me.”

“Yes,” you mewled. He filled you up so perfectly. You were so fucking full. It never made any sense just how good it always felt. As you bounced up and down his length you could feel your slick dripping out to cover him.

His balls were slapping against your ass every time you went down and for some reason, it felt so damn good. You bit your lip trying to keep yourself from crying out again. Even though you were sure no one could hear you, you still didn’t want to get too loud.

He’d grabbed your hips. Making you tilt back so he could leave hot open-mouthed kisses trailing from your neck to your collarbone to your breasts. You threw your head back trying to keep your noises in your throat. You were holding yourself up with your hands on his knees.

“That’s it, Baby. I know you wanna cum for me.” He grabbed you, bringing your forehead to his. One of his hands squeezed your neck with just enough pressure. 

Your pussy was clenching around him your insides fluttering as you felt yourself getting there. “Fuck, Daddy, I’m gonna cum,” you whined. Your orgasm was so close you could fucking taste it.

“That’s it. That’s my good girl,” he whispered in your ear. “Cum for me.”

You pressed your face into his t-shirt as you reached your breaking point. You moved your hips harder trying to ride out your orgasm. The way you were moving triggered him to start spilling inside of you. “Fuck,” he cursed, his grip going to your ass again so hard you kind of knew you were going to bruise.

“Yes, Daddy. Yes.” Tears welled up in your eyes as you started to come down from your high. 

You laid your head on his chest as he leaned down to kiss the top of your head. Your body was shaking and you wanted to calm down by the time you had to get out of the carriage. You looked out the window again. That whole time at the top had been spent fucking and it was almost time for you to compose yourself.

“We probably aren’t the first ones to do this today, huh,” he wondered out loud.

You chuckled, putting your chin on his chest and looking up at him. “Probably not.”

He rubbed your ass sweetly not even realizing before how tender your body was now. He sat back with his eyes closed. “Is it bad that I could sleep like this?”

“No. I think I could, too,” you replied, feeling your eyes all droopy.

You finally got up before the ferris wheel reached the ground to make yourselves presentable. You sat back in his lap melting into him until it was at a complete stop. 

“I love you,” he whispered.

“I love you, too.”

He smiled all sweet before placing a kiss on your lips. You guys were always fighting and making up and as much as you’d say it was water under the bridge, this was the first time it really felt like it. You couldn’t wait to see how things would be from now on. He was your person.

Chapter 12 A Little Too Revealing

Cordonia's oldest Cathedral...

"Thomas!" Ana held her microphone out towards him. "Will you answer a few questions?"

Bracing himself, he left his group of friends and walked over to her. Cameras flashed around him as he stood alone before the reporter.

Ana smiled at him. "Tell us, what have you thought of Prince Liam's social season?"

"It's been interesting." He put his hands in his pockets. "It truly has been a once in a lifetime experience."

"We know how close you are to the Duchess of St Orella." Ana continued. "In your opinion, what kind of queen do you think she would be if chosen?"

He hesitated. "Well, I..." He noticed carriages coming down the street. "I think Cordonia would be fortunate to have her." A half smile formed on his lips. “Any man would be lucky to find himself marrying her.”

"Do you think her chances--" Ana turned around. "The first of the nobles are arriving! The Duchess of Lythikos's carriage is the first to stop. Her grace is wearing a..."

Thomas, along with those from Hollywood quickly made their escape when the reporters were distracted with the arriving court guests.

"Phew." Addison nearly sagged with relief once inside. "Those questions were getting hard to answer."

"One of the reporters asked me if I thought Amanda's work ethic pointed toward queenly behavior." Ryan rolled his eyes. "Because I as a movie star know all about ruling a European nation."

Holly snorted while pushing him further inside. "You barely recognize the hierarchy of a film studio much less local governments’."

"Which makes me the perfect person to ask questions like that to." He teased.

"Do reporters expect us to say, no?" Matt asked. "Who wouldn't say their friend would be Liam's best choice?"

Thomas remained quiet while the group expressed their opinions. He led them up a flight of stairs where Liam had secured them seats for the coronation.

Their view was perfect to see not only where the nobles would be sitting but also of the dais where the crowning would take place. While they waited on the ceremony to begin, they were able to admire the vaulted ceiling and sheer majesty of the large cathedral. Stain glass windows shimmered in the early morning sunlight. The Cordonian oak pews glowed golden from the high polish they had been given for today's historic event.

"There's Olivia!" Addison pointed out. "Look at her dress! It's gorgeous!"

"It looks like something from the Middle Ages." Holly leaned forward to get a better look.

Olivia's blood red gown was long and flowing, reminiscent of the formal wear her ancestor Zenobia had worn during Queen Kenna's wedding. Her look was complete with her tiara of rubies and diamonds.

Following behind her was Rashad dressed in a tuxedo and white gloves. His house crest along with other highly honored medals House Domvallier had earned throughout history glittered upon his chest.

Another duke they had only seen at an event or two walked with his family, all in finery from some bygone era, towards the front of the sanctuary.

"I wonder when Amanda will--" Shannon nudged Chris. "There she is!"

Thomas finally saw his duchess walk down the aisle. He was once again spellbound by how regal Amanda appeared.

Like Olivia's, her gown harkened back to a time where gowns had a flowing train to her floor length full skirt. Upon her head sat the tiara she had worn for her ball. The blue diamond necklace and bracelet that had been given as betrothal gifts for the very first duchess of St Orella twinkled under the lights. Her dress was in the rich royal blue color with dainty silver embroidery along the scooped neckline, puffed sleeves, and edge of her skirt. Her arms were encased in elbow length white gloves.

What really stood out though to Thomas was her. Amanda's posture was straight. Her chin lifted just high enough to denote her lofty stature within the Cordonian Court. Her graceful walk down the aisle was complete with a deep curtsey, hand over her heart, and head bowed to Constantine and Regina.

When she then slipped into the pew that her ancestors before her had sat for every other coronation, she lifted her eyes to his.

The hint of softening around her lips made his own curve with pride. He didn't know how she managed to keep surprising him with these different facets to her character. It was sometimes difficult to picture the woman he had come to know with the new visions that she paraded before him.

His thoughts drifted over the last couple of weeks. They had decided to not tell any of their friends about their engagement, save for Liam. They worried over Maxwell and Addison possibly letting it slip. They knew how excited the two would be and how they would want to start planning the wedding.

******************

A few days after the ball at St Orella...

"What are you working on?"

Thomas leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes when he felt Amanda's lips brushing against his neck.

"A list of shots I want to try with certain scenes." He tugged her around to sit in his lap. "I didn't think you'd be free this evening."

"I thought," she went back to kissing his neck, "that you might be interested in knowing that we are actually alone."

"We are?"

"Uh huh." She smiles against his skin. "Drake, Olivia, and Liam went on to Ramsford early. Holly and Addison dragged Ryan out to go visit with Chris and Shannon." She lifted her head and met his heated gaze. "We're the only two left."

He kept the argument to himself that there were still servants in her home, but he reveled in the fact that they were once more without any interruption from either a good meaning friend or a needy noble.

"However will we entertain ourselves?" She teased, biting down on his earlobe.

Thomas captured her lips in a kiss. He pushed his notes off the desk he had been using and set her upon it. His attention was snatched away from her when he remembered the study door.

"I locked it." Amanda held the key up.

Thomas noticed his ring twinkling in the early afternoon sunlight on her finger. He loved that she persisted in slipping it on whenever she could.

He surged forward to kiss her again.

"You know," he kissed down her neck, "we should probably use this time to discuss our wedding."

"You want a wedding?" She eased back some.

"Don't you?"

"I don't know. Nobles try to outdo each other with their weddings and parties leading up to it. The romance of the moment is overshadowed by all the pomp and circumstance." She shrugged. "I always thought it would be more romantic to elope."

He sat back down and pulled her back in his lap. "I thought you would want a church wedding."

She rested her head on his shoulder. "I suppose that would be nice if I had it at the St Orella chapel. But you probably need something bigger, don't you?"

"Why would I need something bigger?"

"Isn't that what Hollywood royalty do?” She teased. “ Make weddings more extravagant and impossible to replicate?" 

He leveled a playful warning glare upon her. "You are walking a very fine line right now."

Her smile grew. "Me? But I'm only trying to appease your fans and counterparts." She pretended to ponder the problem. "I suppose we could use the capital's cathedral and host the reception on the beach. Naturally we will let the press fightover who gets to take the first photos of us--"

She started laughing and trying to escape him when he began to tickle her.

"Stop!" She said between giggles. "I'll keep the guest list to just five hundred." She squirmed when he increased his efforts. "Thomas!"

"What was that about a guest list?" He grinned when she snuggled against him to make him stop. His arms settled around her once more.

"What kind of wedding do you want?" She asked once she had caught her breath.

"Whatever will make you happy." He gently brushed her hair back from her face. "If eloping is what you want, we'll go whenever and wherever you wish."

"Really?" She looped her arms around his neck. "You wouldn't mind it being just the two of us?"

"Amanda, since I met you I have tried to keep it just the two of us." He grumbled. "Do you honestly believe I would purposefully make us have to play host to people?"

She laughed softly. "I suppose not."

A tender smile formed on his lips. "I rather like the thought of it being just the two of us when we say our vows."

"I do too." She sighed into the sweet kiss he gave her. "I know Maxwell will be heartbroken not being my Man of Honor, but I would prefer us being alone." She rested her head on his shoulder again. "We could elope at one of my other estates."

He looked down at her in surprise. "What other estates?"

"I have one in Italy, near Lake Como and one in the Scottish Highlands."

"Are they as big as this one?"

"No. The castle in Scotland only has twenty guest rooms.” She grinned at his shock. “And the Lake Como villa is quite small. Only twelve guest rooms."

Thomas marveled at her. She seemed so content with the simplest of things and yet she had all this wealth that he never imagined.

"Which would you like to be married at?" She prodded.

"I'll leave that up to you." He cuddled her close. "Just as long as it is as soon as possible."

Her eyes widened. "You don't want to wait until the end of filming?"

"No." He kissed her once more. "I do ask that we wait on a honeymoon until the film is complete, but I would marry you today if we could."

"Thomas." She kissed him again. "I wish we could."

Her smile formed with a thought. "We could elope after the Coronation Ball."

"We could?"

She nodded.

"Then that's what we'll do." He felt his anxiousness dissipate now that they had a date set.

He wasn't sure why, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen to ruin the luck they had in being together.

******************

The Royal Palace, Coronation Ball...

"We are mere minutes away from King Liam announcing his choice for Cordonia's new queen." Ana smiled into the camera. "It has been nothing but excitement since this morning's coronation." She paused and nodded. "And now the King Father and Queen Mother have taken the stage."

The camera zoomed in on the royal family.

"Honored Guests" Constantine beamed out at the crowd. "This is a great day for Cordonia. In all my years as your monarch, I have never been more certain than I am in the type of king Liam will be." He turned toward his son. "I know it came a s a surprise to many when..."

While Constantine discussed how Leo's abdication turned into something good, Thomas eased toward the back of the ballroom.

Amanda was standing near one of the glass doors leading outside. As the King father continued to drone on, her attention drifted to what would happen once Liam named Riley as his queen.

The plan was to sneak out after Liam’s announcement. Her private plane and staff were waiting at the hangar and would fly her and Thomas to Scotland where they would elope. By this time tomorrow night, she would have taken the first step into a future she had only dreamed of. 

She sighed softly to herself. After the coronation, she had been required to dine with her fellow nobles and royal family. This evening, she had completed the last of the suitor event of dinner and giving Liam a gift. There had been no time spent with Thomas. She had searched the ballroom for him, but had been caught in numerous conversations about Liam becoming king.

Just as the worry set in that Thomas might have had second thoughts about their elopement, he settled beside her, causally leaning against a nearby column.

"How much longer?" He whispered.

She barely lifted her shoulder. "I'm not sure. The way Constantine keeps talking, it is almost like he is stalling the final tradition in Liam being king."

Thomas noticed the worry that briefly appeared in her face. He moved closer to her and took her hand. She squeezed it before keeping their clasped hands hidden within the folds of her skirt.

He felt his ring on her finger and couldn't help but be touched that she refused to go without it tonight.

"Are you nervous?" She whispered.

"About what?"

"About eloping?" She tilted her head up and smiled at him.

"Not at all." He had to stop himself from lowering his head and capturing her lips in a kiss. "Are you?"

"I think I'm more excited than anything else." Amanda replied. "Won't everyone be so surprised when they--"

Liam raised his voice as he spoke before the court, silencing all conversations. He spoke about the great honor he felt in being Cordonia's new ruler and how proud he was to have found the woman to rule by his side.

His eyes met Riley's as he held his hand out to her. "I choose Lady Riley Brooks of House Beaumont to be my wife."

The reporters that had been allowed in the ballroom quickly added their commentary to this development. Cameras flashed as the young king beamed at his intended.

The moment Riley joined him, phones began to chime and vibrate.

Murmurs broke out around them.

"No!"

"She wouldn't!"

"Is this for real?"

"I knew it!" Madeleine said a bit louder. "I knew that they were hiding something!"

"Thomas!" Addison rushed over.

Holly followed along with Drake and Maxwell.

"What's wrong?" He demanded when they each seemed to be worried.

Maxwell grimaced and handed his phone over to him.

The director took one glance at the set of images and cursed. Someone had caught him and Amanda locked in a passionate embrace at Applewood. The images that followed were of them taking their clothes off as he kept her against a door, kissing down her body.

Amanda covered her mouth. She began to shake her head at their secret being revealed in such a manner. "We were so careful and--"

"Lady Bridgerton, the king father demands a word with you." Bastien appeared at her side and took her arm. His gray eyes narrowed on Thomas. "He also requests your presence as well, Mr. Hunt."

Olivia and Nadia appeared, blocking his path.

"Is she under arrest?" Nadia asked.

Olivia glared at the guard. "Unhand her! She isn't some petty thief off the street. She is a respectable duchess of his majesty's court."

"Hmph." Madeleine couldn't resist worming her way over. "Amanda's worse than a thief. I wouldn't be surprised if she's stripped of her title and lands. She betrayed King Liam by not remaining true during his search."

Amanda paled at the thought of bringing such shame to her family's name and memory. She was grateful for the first time in her life to be the last remaining Bridgerton. She wouldn't have been able to face her uncle and parents. After all they had taught her about the importance of her rank, she had ignored it all simply because she had fallen in love.

Olivia began to argue with Madeleine while Bastien pulled Amanda along.

"Please everyone!" Liam shouted. "This is all a misunderstanding that I can easily clear up."

Constantine and Regina were whispering to Liam. He held his hand up, shushing them once Amanda and Thomas were brought before them.

Constantine seemed more confused than angry.

"I think we should speak privately to them." Regina whispered once more.

Liam called the press over and began to explain to them that these pictures were his own fault.

"What?" Constantine stuttered. "These pictures were not taken because of something you did."

"No, but I am the one to matchmake Thomas to Lady Amanda."

More surprised gasps and cameras clicking filled the air.

"I found out before my season began that Lady Amanda had developed feelings for Mr. Hunt." Liam smiled at the reporters as they hung on his every word. He used all his charm to keep their attention focused on him in this moment. "I knew out of her loyalty to our country and our close friendship that she would ignore her heart and take part in being a suitor."

He then explained about his trip to Hollywood before the season started.

"Thomas admitted to me that he was in love with Lady Amanda. That was the reason I invited him to join us for the entire season. I encouraged them both to pursue one another in secret since she had already stated in an interview that she was taking part as a suitor." He smiled warmly at them. "I am pleased to announce, though I know they intended to do so tomorrow," he leaned in and whispered loudly for the reporters' sake, "you'll have to forgive me for I can't wait to share your news." He cleared his throat. "Though I wish I could take credit for what occurred during the St Orella ball, Mr. Hunt proposed marriage to the Duchess of St Orella." Liam raised Amanda's left hand. "And she said, yes."

Cameras flashed and reporters were thrusting their mics toward the two couples while shouting out questions.

"Was it difficult to keep secret, your grace?"

"King Liam? Will you and Lady Riley marry before they do?"

"How did he propose?"

While the couples weathered through the questions, Constantine called a halt to it.

"We will answer all tomorrow." He stated. "Now the King and his," he paused for a moment as he met Bastien's concerned expression, "intended must share a waltz to commemorate their engagement."

Liam lifted Riley's hand to his lips as he guided her toward the dance floor.

Once they were dancing, Constantine hissed that he wanted to speak to Amanda and Thomas immediately.

Gripping each other's hand, the couple followed him out of the ballroom.

****************

"Follow them." Olivia pushed Drake towards the direction Amanda and Thomas were. “Something about these images is suspicious.”

Drake cleared a path through the crowd for the two of them. He reached back behind him and held her hand when they hit a tight pocket of slightly inebriated nobles.

When they made it to the other side, they continued to hold hands as they rushed down the hallway.

"Where did they go?" He whispered.

They heard raised voices coming from a nearby doorway and crept near it.

After checking to make certain no one was around, they pressed their ears to the door.

*******************

"...utterly disgraceful the way you deceived us all!" Constantine yelled. "Never in all my years as king have I ever encountered a more self-serving noble than you, Lady Amanda. If it were left up to me, you would be stripped of you title and lands then banished from Cordonia."

Thomas stepped in front of Amanda. "She is the least self-serving noble you have, save for Liam."

He didn't bother to mask his own anger at the former king. Seeing Amanda silent with her head bowed in shame struck a chord within his heart. He never wanted to see her like this when she was innocent of any wrongdoing.

He felt Amanda slip her hand back within his as she stepped up beside him.

Her head remained bowed as she spoke.

"Sir, I never intended for this to happen. I knew deep down that I was never the right person to be queen when Liam first spoke about my being a suitor. With my feelings for Thomas," she turned toward him, "I planned on seeing what could come from it after the social season was through."

Thomas let go of her hand so that he could slip his arm around her.

She settled against his side as he explained that he too had planned on revealing what was in his heart as soon as he could.

Before Constantine could lash out at their total disregard for tradition and duty, Liam stepped in.

Amanda caught a glimpse of Olivia and Drake peeking inside right as the door was shut.

The delighted, genial expression Liam had worn throughout the ball had disappeared completely. A cold fury had taken its place.

"Having a meeting without me?"

His father bristled his clip tone and lack of deference.

"I will have many meetings without you, Liam." Constantine snapped. "I am--"

"No longer king." Liam finished for him. "Since I am now, you will answer a question." He squared his shoulders and stared down Bastien and his father. "Why were pictures taken of Lady Riley's room at Applewood?"

Amanda and Thomas looked back and forth between Bastien lowering his head in shame and Constantine becoming red with fury.

"How dare you speak--"

"I demand you answer me!" Liam commanded. "You have lost the right to chastise me about this." He leaned forward. "I couldn't help but notice your attempt to delay my choice of Queen. Those photographs were taken over a month ago. No reporter would sit on such a scandal of two famous individuals all this time." His voice lowered to a tone that sent chills down their spines. "Given how thorough Bastien is with security and how involved you were with guest rooms, I know you had something to do with this."

Constantine huffed before slumping down into a chair. He dropped his head in his hands for a moment.

"Liam, you know why your choice for queen is so important. You will be left on your own soon and I--"

"And one would think that my father would want me to be with the person who eases my burdens as ruler." Liam snapped.

There was no sympathy as he settled his furious gaze upon his sire.

"Don't make me repeat myself." He ordered. "Why was Lady Riley's room photographed?!"

"You showed such favoritism to her." Constantine explained. "I don't have time to wait around and see if she could learn all that she needs to." He gestured weakly towards Amanda. "Either she or Madeleine would be able to transition to the rank better than some American waitress that you developed a crush on."

Liam's hands fisted. "What was the photographer supposed to capture?"

Bastien cleared his throat and stepped forward. "Lady Riley and Lord Tariq."

Liam blinked. "How?"

"One of the ladies of the court was encouraged to tell Lord Tariq that Lady Riley secretly had feelings for him yet was too shy to act upon them."

Amanda gasped. "That's why he tried to come into the room!"

"And that's why there was no lock." Thomas grumbled. "It was all to entrap two innocent people in scandal so that Liam would be forced to choose a Cordonian noble."

Constantine glared at him. "Yes. And just what were you two doing in Lady Riley's bedroom?"

Liam stepped in front of his two friends, redirecting his father's ire towards himself. "Amanda knew how I felt about Riley and encouraged me to spend more time with her to make certain this lifestyle as a royal was something she wanted. She and Riley switched rooms each night so that I could have evenings with her alone and away from court." His eyes narrowed. "Since you had been so gracious to place Amanda in the room next to mine, it made our clandestine meetings much easier."

"I see." Constantine deflated once more over his plan failing.

"Now then." Liam turned so he was addressing them all. "I think I've managed to keep scandal away from Amanda for the time being." He grimaced somewhat. "But in order for it to last, the world needs to see the two of you planning a wedding."

Thomas's lips parted to explain their elopement plans. He paused when he felt Amanda subtly squeeze him.

"When should we have it?" She asked, resigned to the fact that she was left with little choice.

"Two weeks." Liam replied. "Then my wedding to Lady Riley will follow two weeks after yours." He shook his head. "I know you don't need anymore pressure, but this needs to be as romantic as it can possibly be. The world has seen you choose Thomas over me and they will expect an epic love story for doing so."

Tory Nichols Is Not Okay (and other predictable book-titles)

I’ve been trying to figure out some things around Tory that make me very protective of her as a character + hopeful for more in-depth writing of her character in upcoming seasons.

1. within the story she differs from literally every other main in that she’s the single character without a support network to fall back on. Even Robby, who’s having A Tough Fucking Time, could theoretically have a moment where he figures out that Kreese (and probably Silver once he’s in the picture) is the fucking worst and Daniel, Johnny, Shannon, and Amanda would want him to come back, hell I imagine that next season will have Daniel and Johnny thinking a lot about how exactly to convince Robby to give them a second chance - as of end season 3, Tory hasn’t got anyone fighting in her corner at all.

This isn’t in the sense of characters competing about trauma or who-has-it-worse or who’s more likely to become a villain or anything. It’s just something interesting I’ve noted, because there’s never been a character like her in the movies or the show, one who is going through stuff quite as bad as what she’s being presented as going through: No support, no money, no friends.

2. I find it interesting that she doesn’t (at the moment) have any direct connection to either Daniel or Johnny - the two cores of the show. Sure she was Johnny’s student for a hot second, but I don’t think they had a single meaningful interaction.

She interacted with Aisha first, which - when they wrote Aisha off the show (actually probably the thing I most disagree with in this story, because it left several question marks hanging in the air) - meant that the first grounding element she had in the story was lost.

Then she interacted with Sam and I think the core of their rivalry - that Sam represents everything Tory can’t have VS the complicated mix of privilege (which I’m hoping will be brought up) + the way Cobra Kai took her best friend and boyfriend from her + everything she’s internalised from Daniel - is really really cool and some of Tory’s strongest moments come from that, because the two play off each other so well and this show is all foils and nemeses. Hopefully the show won’t try to simplify this into “boyfriend troubles.”

Then there’s Miguel Which, obviously there’s some complicated stuff going on there, but in the end, beyond jilted lovers, I personally find her actual relationships with Aisha and Sam more interesting, although the general sense of “oh great, betrayed again, why did I think anything different would happen” + at the same time getting an insight into something inherently self-destructive, (in that she deliberately went for a guy she knew wasn’t over his ex) has some good elements to it.

(there’s Hawk as well, but that’s more casual-trauma-friendship-with-a-dose-of-egging-each-other-on, the two of them aren’t really close).

And lastly there’s Kreese. Who is. The only person who knows what she’s going through. We have one episode with a couple of scenes + a handful of comments that indicate where she’s at and where she’s at is not good. 

3. Tory is maybe a tough sell right off the bat, because of several factors: she’s mainly angry and violent, she’s (as stated above) not emotionally connected to the two leads and her only other relationships right now are antagonistic or written off the show or... Kreese. Robby is going to be there in season 4 which’ll offer some nice opportunities, but for the moment they’re pretty much strangers.

She was introduced later than anyone else we’ve got right now (characters from the movies notwithstanding, but we do already know those + they are connected to Daniel) and her first meaningful interaction was with Aisha, who, I will reiterate, I feel should not have been written off the darn show, but I digress. There was some really interesting interaction going on between her and Aisha and failing to make good on that kind of meant that there was a sense of floatiness to Tory’s first introduction - suddenly this relationship doesn’t matter, oh okay I guess? Reboot. 

That being said I think she’s a very bold addition to the show and I’m curious about where the story will go with Tory next, since imo her first two seasons were about building her character to a point where she could become an Antagonist with some hidden depths. 

I’m expecting based on the first three seasons of the show that those depths will be revisited and respected.

4. I think I’m hoping for Sam to realise what’s going on there, for Sam to try and help, for Sam to realise that, actually, Tory’s problems extend faaaar beyond her and she was more like the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’d like this as well because while it might’ve been a weakness before that Tory wasn’t connected to Daniel or Johnny, now that can become a strength - the story can really start to move beyond them and into the ways that the younger characters interact with each other in a more forgiving + healing + understanding way (using their lessons, which... might? become more unified now? perchance? since they’re on the same side for the first time in... ever?)

I’d like for another adult to get involved there, but I’d absolutely love it if the first steps came from Sam and Tory, rather than Daniel or Johnny or any other adult noticing this kid needs some help. It’d be sad and hopeful all at once for them to have the realisation that sometimes kids just fall through the cracks, but then Tory can be supported by her peers first and foremost.

I wouldn’t necessarily say this needs to happen in season 4, but the sympathy extended to characters like Hawk, Robby, Johnny, Daniel, etc. in the writing needs to be extended to her as well. And for that to happen she needs to connect with someone other than Kreese.

Also, of course, Tory and Robby are going to be Sadness Bros next season, pretty sure they have horror stories to tell each other while they bond - I’m hoping this doesn’t become a romantic relationship, but it’s a show that likes its romantic relationships, so we’ll see. Fingers crossed. (also if Tory should be dating anyone it’s Aisha, right????) Point is, that’ll obviously give her more grounding with another main that isn’t I’M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!

I think this is where the initial elements of those aforementioned depths can be explored more thoroughly. Robby wouldn’t just be willing to listen - he’d be the first character to really Get It. He’ll probably be the first person to understand her and so the first protagonist we’ll get to really relate to her through (again, to me Miguel doesn’t count, he didn’t know her at all). 

Anyway I want for Sam and Tory to become the ultimate remixed version of Daniel and Johnny, in that they fully cannot stand each other for X amount of the runtime, only to find common ground at the last moment and perchance do some gay, friendly karate matching. 

(Also Tory’s bi, right? Yeah, Tory’s bi. I see your flannel!)

Tory has the potential to be a great slow-burn character, so I’m excited!
