15 being like "you cant save everyone" vital lesson for a doctor

[grinchwrapsupreme]

book runs based on tv shows are usually mediocre at best, like star trek, torchwood, doctor who, etc etc, but i would give anything to get a book run of the BBC Ghosts hotel i need to know what shenanigans those guys get up to in there

Edit: I MADE AN UPDATED ONE GO LOOK AT THAT ONE IT'S BETTER I CITED MY SOURCES AND SHOWED MY WORK AND EVERYTHING

Ladies and Gentlemen, Bitches and Bastards, Witches and Wizards, Mothers and Fuckers. Esteemed robot enjoyers, I present to you a semi-accurate height comparison of Bumblebee across the multiverse (as of July 2024). This really helps visualize the truly staggering differences between universes, at least height-wise. Also, three of these characters are Canonically the Same Guy; guess which ones.

I spent way too much time on the chart in the back it's not even funny. I will probably make more height charts for more TF characters and universes in the future. Don't expect it soon though, because when I make these, I am fueled by pure I-Got-Bored-At-Work-And-I-Have-Decided-To-Fool-Around-With-Robot-PNGs, and that fuel supply is inconsistent at best.

Hey Fun Fact, Did you know that Generation 1 Optimus Prime is around 19 Feet Tall? Bet some of you already knew that. I have no ulterior motives for bringing this fact up, what are you talking about.

My height explanations are below the cut, because you couldn't shut me up if you tried.

In an order:

Gen 1 - ~10 feet (the wiki says greater than 3 meters so I rounded up to the first whole number because round)

Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~10 feet (He looks identical to Gen 1 so... the reason his photo looks weird is because I couldn't find a good full body photo with him standing straight up facing the camera so I put two images together to make the worst looking photoshop job you have ever seen)

Earth Spark - 10 feet (There is no confirmed height yet but using a screen shot of him standing in front of a barn door I was able to make a reasonable guess.)

Animated - 12 feet (I have no genuine source for this, I think this info is just someone's guesstimate, but it seems reasonable. He's a tiny two door mini car, how big could he be)

New Live Action - 15 feet (The wiki hath declared. Also do we have a name for this universe because we need one I don't want to keep saying like 6 words to differentiate this one from bayverse)

Bayverse V1 - 16 feet (This is like the first 3 movies minimum, I don't remember when he hits his growth spurt. also wiki my love)

Cyberverse - 18 feet (I'm gonna be honest, the only info we have is from a really shitty screen shot of a magazine. SO if any one has a copy of this book from the video below, a high quality scan would be greatly appreciated and I will kiss the ground you walk upon. Yes I found the video where the screen shot comes from leave me alone)

Bayverse V2 - 18 feet (movie 4-5 I can't remember which one, I'm not re-looking this up. I fucking love the bayverse tho, this is the only universe with concrete and consistent this-character-is-this-height info)

Aligned Cont. WF/FOC - 20 feet (video game info screens you god send, kiss me sweetly)

Aligned Cont. TFP/RID15 - 21 feet (I do not know exactly where these numbers were found, but I fully fucking believe them. Just by looking at these characters on the show I can verify these numbers in my mind. They made specifically this universe to be full of freakishly tall robots for some fucking reason.)

And for any one who doesn't know, the three tallest are the same guy. Like the 20 feet tall one and the 21 feet tall ones, same guy. The ones in three wildly different art styles and designs. Let that sink in...

I fucking hate the aligned continuity why is that one my favorite.

IN BETWEEN. charlie bushnell x reader – 05

05 | LOGICAL previous | next | masterfile

SYNPOSIS. when a girl's co-star is good to her and now she wants it more than everything in between. (smau)

A/N. not feeling too well but... here's the episode

HOST "What's up, everyone! Welcome back to the Fangirlpedia Podcast, where we fangirls get to live out our dreams and fill out a Wikipedia for all the fangirls out there!"

HOST "I've been a fan of PJO since i was a kid, I was 15 when the first books came out and now, my daughter, who's 12 gets to watch the TV show. So it really is a dream come true and such a pleasure to be here today with the cast of Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians!"

HOST "With that, I think it's the proper time to introduce our dear guests for today."

WALKER "I'm Walker Scobell, I play Percy Jackson."

LEAH "I'm Leah Sava Jeffries and I play Annabeth Chase."

CHARLIE "I'm Charlie Bushnell and I'm the actor for Luke Castellan."

YN "And I'm YN LN and I'm the actress for Rina Velasco."

HOST "What song would you associate with your character?"

YN "For me, I Bet on Losing Dogs by Mitski"

YN "Rina is a very calculated character, she's not like Annabeth in the sense that it's just logic and facts. I think she's calculated in the fact that she's a very thoughtful person, and so I think it's interesting that her fatal flaw would be her faith and her trust— which, from face value completely contrasts her as a character. Like why does this person who thinks everything through have such childlike trust? Well, she is a child."

YN "The reason I chose this really lies in Luke, her first love, and the fact that her oblivious trust is most blatant in her relationship with him. Luke is the losing dog that all her logic tells her is losing but she still bets on him every time. He proves to her time and time again that he's put himself on this path and yet she foolishly believes every time that he can come back. I think in a way, she's aware of the fact that it's a foolish endeavor and yet pursues it anyway because she still believes there's some goodness in Luke despite him proving to her otherwise."

HOST "If YN's song for Rina is I Bet on Losing Dogs by Mitski, what would your song be, Charlie?"

CHARLIE "I think I've mentioned somewhere else that the song I used to really like use as my go-to was Swan Lake, Op. 20, Act 2? Yeah I think that's the right title. It really got me in the mood. But there's a different song that I think represents Luke."

HOST "Oh and what would that song be?"

CHARLIE "Probably.... Silver Springs yeah Silver Springs - Fleetwood Mac. It's a popular song with editors. But like, I see Luke in it because it's kind of like... that's his relationship with all the people he loves. 'Time casts it spell on you, but you won't forget me. I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me.' Those lyrics for me are really what Luke's relationship with people are like, especially post-betrayal. I think the people he love stays on his mind constantly."

CHARLIE "There's this one line 'You'll never get away from the sound of a woman that loves you'. And I think every woman in his life is the same, Annabeth, his mom, Tahlia, and Rina especially. They all love him in their own way and the fact that like you know, they love him will haunt him with every decision he makes."

HOST "Even before filming, what were the vibes from everyone?"

CHARLIE "A lot of people assume that the hardest thing is filming- which is hard but like the stuff that happens before like table reads and chemistry tests were so nerve-wracking too."

YN "You'll hear from Leah and Walker that the chemistry read was so happy and fun— Leah just got to flirt with Walker for like an hour. Good for the younger kids, meanwhile me and Charlie were out here sobbing and fighting."

WALKER "Huh? What?!"

LEAH "You never told us this."

CHARLIE "Really? We didn't"

YN "Well, for Charlie and I's chemistry read, yeah it started off with playful banter then not even two scenes later, I was arguing with Luke in a forest about him stealing the master bolt."

CHARLIE "I mean I was like begging her to stay and everything— Did I get on my knees? I remember getting on my knees."

YN "Oh my gosh yeah... he got on his knees while begging to Rina it was crazy. The chemistry they wanted from us was ... definitely passionate. It was a very specific type of chemistry."

CHARLIE "Didn't they have us— Oh spoilers if you haven't seen the last book, anyways Luke dies and they were like 'So I want you to pretend like you're dying and now you see him and you're mourning his death'"

YN "Yeah and it was like 'I'm not sure if I'll make it to Elesium...' 'I don't think anyone else would be more worthy.' and then bro just straight up died!"

WALKER "WHAT TYPE OF CHEMISTRY READ IS THIS???"

CHARLIE "Deadly chemistry. I think one of us started crying."

YN "We were giving... Shakespeare."

HOST "What were your guys' reaction after getting the role? I think most have heard about the rest of you guys but YN's casting has been a matter of secret for a little bit."

YN "Oh my god I was elated, I was finally employed!"

CHARLIE "Biggest TV show of the year and your reaction is 'I'm employed'?"

YN "Hey don't judge! I love PJO and I love the series so so so much but honestly, after doing Miss Saigon's revival and then going into first year of college in NYU I was kind of panicking because 1) I wanted to do something and 2) I had no idea what to do. Like I knew I wanted to act but I wanted to try something different and honestly, I haven't gotten any good callbacks in a long time. So I mean when I sent it in, I didn't think anything would happen but it did and I was like 'Oh my god, I'm employed, I can earn money'."

CHARLIE "A bit weird but wouldn't have it any other way."

YN "You know, Charlie, next time you can just say something nice."

CHARLIE "Then our rela- friendship wouldn't be as fun."

CHARLIE "YN at first was pretty secretive about her background so every thing she revealed herself was like a new lore drop."

YN "Lore drop???"

WALKER "Every few days on set, we'd be talking and one day you'd just drop 'Oh when I was in highschool, I was in the national debate championships and in the finals–' and you talked like it was so normal but then all of us just found out you did competitive debate."

YN "It wasn't that big of a deal–"

LEAH "You told us you won the championships?"

YN "I won best speaker but I technically-"

CHARLIE "Don't even bother."

[k4nzi]

(I'm always gonna include the ref in any major posts about Asha)

There's a thought that's been in my head since I created Asha.

What would Asha's reaction to finding out Peppy never told Poppy about her and Viva be?

Y'know when you hear something you don't like but instead of immediately lashing out in rage you're just...numb? Like you're angry but on the outside you look calm? Way too calm? Yeah. That's Asha's reaction. It'd kinda go like this:

*dry chuckle* "What do you mean he never told you about us? He didn't just assume we were dead...right?"

Her tone in the above dialogue is rather neutral. Too neutral. Menacingly neutral with a little bit of bite when she says "...right?". Asha prides herself in being unpredictable and unreadable. When she asks if Peppy assumed she and Viva died during the escape, that's code for "ain't no way he made the entire tribe believe we were dead for the past 20 years". She's angry that her tribe made a silent agreement to forget she and her older sister ever existed but she's trying not to show it. Her chuckling before speaking could be interpreted as a warning.

To add insult to injury, Asha was just 15 during the escape. She was a teenager. You bet she vividly remembers huddling in a corner of Hole N' Fun mumbling to herself that everything was fine and surely her dad was looking for her. Imagine finding out that not only your own father but your whole tribe found it easier to assume you were dead rather than at least hope you survived. In fact, it reminds me of a verse from Drift Away from SU.

"You keep on turning pages, for people who don't care,

People who don't care about you,

And still it takes you ages,

To see that no one's there,

See that no one's there,

See that no one's there,

Everyone's gone on without you"

So yeah. She doesn't take finding out that Poppy didn't know about her as well as Viva seems to.

Becoming the Old Man Next Door

Carter Austin was annoyed that he had to be home for his parents 30th wedding anniversary. The model was only in town for one night, and even that was too much. He hated Fairview and missed the fast life of New York. The 28-year-old was one of the hottest models on the scene and couldn’t believe he was wasting his weekend in his childhood bedroom.

Hon, we are so excited that you are home. We’ve missed you.

You know how busy I’ve been mom. I’m one of the hottest models. I’m constantly booked.

I know. We told Mr. Jarvis that you were coming home and he was so excited to see you.

Mom, I’m 28. I don’t want to go see our old neighbor.

Oh, just do it Carter. It’ll make him happy. He’s lonely. His wife has been dead for 20 years and he has no children. Just do it.

Fine.

I went next door and rang the doorbell. Mr. Jarvis answered the door. I forgot how fat he was.

Austin my boy. So good to see you. Come in come in. Sit down. I’ll get you a drink.

As I sat in his living room, I looked around at his depressing life. The room seemed straight out of the 1970’s, and it reeked of tobacco. 15 minutes. That’s all I need.

Here’s a coke. So, tell me about New York.

It’s fun. I travel the world. I’m one of the top models out there.

I know. I’ve followed you. You are quite the good-looking young men. I bet ladies throw themselves at you.

I get my fair number of women. And men. I don’t discriminate.

I wish I had your life. My life was always boring. And it’s been worse ever since Marian died. I live a lonely life.

Well not everyone can have my life. This coke tastes weird.

That’s because it’s not coke at all. It’s a special potion. You see Carter, I’m tired of being an old man who never did anything with his life. I want a life in the fast lane. So, I am going to steal yours.

What. That’s not possible

I stand up and try to move, but I can’t. It’s like I am frozen in place.

Carter, look in the mirror. Can’t you see the changes have already begun.

As I stared into the mirror, I could see the wrinkles start appearing on my face. Suddenly I started breathing heavier as I felt myself get older. I ran my hands through my hair and it came out in chunks in my hand. I tried to run, to get out, but couldn’t move. My skin was aging. I could feel my youth leaving my body. Passing 30. All of my hair fell out. Passing 40. Stubble appeared on my face. Then it stopped. I looked in the mirror. Damn. I’m fucking old, but I’m fucking hot.

Haha old man. I’m still fucking hot. Look at me. Your plan failed.

You aren’t very smart are ya Carter. That was just step one.

Step one! I turned to him and saw that somehow his hair had grown back in and he looked middle aged. It’s like my hair and age went to him!

Yes, there are three steps. Let’s start step number two.

With that he clapped his hands and suddenly I felt bloated. My stomach was starting to rumble. I looked in the mirror and my face was bubbling. Suddenly it felt like I was blowing up like a balloon. 10, 20, 50, 100, 150, 200 pounds of fat just suddenly appeared on my body. For some reason as I grew, my clothes grew with me.

I was a whale. No one would ever recognize me. It was absolutely disgusting. I used to make fun of people who looked like this. Now I was one of them. I turned and looked at my captor. He looked good. He was so skinny. It’s like all of his weight transferred to my body! He was hot! I was so jealous. Wait he said this was step two, what was step three going to be?!

Damn, I never even looked this good when I used to be in my 40’s. This is amazing. I bet you are wondering about step three. Well, I suppose it’s time to start the final step. Get ready to say goodbye to any remaining part of your old life.

A wave suddenly washed over me. I could feel the life force draining from my body. My facial hair was turning white. My back pain was killing me. I could feel pain everywhere in my body. Arthritis. But I’m only 28. What is happening. I didn’t even think this was possible.

I’m Marvin Jarvis. Wait what! No I’m not Marvin… I’m um….i’m um. What is going on. It’s like I am losing my memories.

What are you doing to me. Why can’t I remember my name. Why do I think I’m you.

Because, Marvin, that’s part of step three. I become you and you become me. We might not look exactly the same, but the world will change to suit us. Why don’t you look at your license.

I could barely reach my wallet. I pulled out my driver’s license. It still said Carter Austin, and then it changed. Marvin Jarvis. 81 years old. 375 pounds. I looked at the photo and then at my reflection in the mirror. There was the same old man. Me!

You’ll never get away with this.

I already have. Your old memories will continue to slip away until you become Marvin Jarvis. Meanwhile, I’ll get your memories and live out my life again. A world-famous model. Carter Austin. My life is set.

Suddenly my mom entered the house.

Hello Marvin. I just came to get Carter. Dinner is ready.

I wanted to scream out. To tell my mom what happened. All that came out was “Of course Karen. It was lovely seeing Carter again. What a fine man he has become.”

Mom, I am just going to hug Mr. Jarvis goodbye and then I’ll be home.

Okay. See you soon honey. Goodbye Marvin.

The new Carter came and hugged me. Good luck Mr. Jarvis. You’ll need it. Don’t forget to take your heart pills, and back pills, and all the other pills. Don’t drive at night. Also, your social security check barely covers basic living expenses. Haha. Better get one last look at me. This is the last time you’ll see me. I’m never coming back to this hodunk town.

I started crying as the new Carter Austin left. He may not have looked exactly like me, but what does it matter. The world believes he is Carter and I am Marvin.

I sat down because my knees were giving out. I tried to remember everything about my old life, but I could feel it slipping away. I’m trapped. There is nothing I can do. You know what sounds good right now. A good pipe. I wonder if NCIS is on. 6:30pm. Almost time for bed. Well, maybe being an old man isn’t going to be so bad after all.

What advice would you give to a woman who is about to turn 30?

Your work probably has direct deposit and you’re probably already using it, but make sure you’re setting up 10% to go to your savings account. Self tithe yourself, once you start you won’t even miss that 10% and your savings will grow. If you don’t have a savings account, I recommend getting one. You don’t have to do it with your current bank, you can shop around for what works for you and have it with another bank. Some banks have rules about when and how you can open a savings with them, like I would bet there are many that won’t let you open one without a checking account (I’ve been with the same bank since I was a small child, so I haven’t even done my due diligence and shopped around).

Limit your alcohol. Yeah, it’s tasty and fun and you might not even have a problem or you might not drink that much anyway, but tbh it catches up with you so much faster now. Try to take intentional breaks for long stretches of time to get a sense of how you feel without it.

You’re probably and hopefully entering a phase of your career where you have a bit more flexibility with your income. Even if you’re not there yet, you’re probably getting better with money. In either or neither case, let me stress this importance: your home is worth designing to be fun and dreamy for you. You can easily do this slowly and at a minimum budget, but put some money and time aside for it! A couple of thrifted knicknacks and $30 for a framed poster and maybe some twinkle lights or w/e can do a lot to make your home feel like home, and stop feeling like you’re still living a transient 20 something lifestyle. The point is start putting some priority on it, because more often than not people forget to buy art for their home because it’s “frivolous.” It’s not, it’s important. AND, it’s a great thing to ask for for gift exchanges since you’re probably getting to the point where you don’t know what you want and you don’t want random ass shit any more.

You have to wash your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, it’s better to use as a sanitizer.

Cleaning can be fun if you make it fun. Intentionality with your space (related to that point up there about making a point to gussy up the place) makes for a happy and healthy person. Don’t work against your impulses and motivators. If you can’t power clean for 4 hours, don’t try you’ll just be mad that you didn’t get it done. Do the routine that makes you the least miserable, and then make if fun somehow like an audio book or rewarding yourself with a milkshake or w/e.

Another thought about cleaning: add some straightening up routine to your bedtime routine. Wait, scratch that, let’s do that one first: have a bedtime routine. It doesn’t have to be super specific, it can be like turn on the lamps and turn off the overheads at 7, no screen time after 8, be in bed by 9. Or whatever works for you.

But my suggestion is to also do some straitening up too! 15 minutes! Straighten up the couch, clear off your coffee table, sweep - wam bam you wake up to a nice clean living room. Maybe the next night you clean the toilet and clear up the bathroom sink. Now you wake up next morning into a nice clean bathroom. And it just makes it easier when it’s time to really clean-clean.

Delete instagram.

Don’t suffer bullshit. With each passing year it comes easier.

Enjoy what comes, you’re always changing and growing :)

16

2. What's your total ao3 word count?

153,084

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Actively writing for 9-1-1 at the moment. Have written for many others in the past.

4. Top 5 fics by kudos

All of these are 911 + Buddie or background Buddie

You can feel it on the way home (You are in love) || words: 23k || T || Buck moves in with Eddie after the loft is destroyed

I built a home (for you, for me) || words: 6k || T || Eddie shows up to work wearing one of Buck's shirts. Assumptions are made and revelations are had.

Feels like home || words: 1.5k || G || In which Buck stays for dinner, Eddie decides to be brave, and Chris just wants to do his homework in peace.

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I'm allergic to sad endings so I don't really have any, but I'd probably say Eddie is in the room, just because of the nature of that fic but it still has a somewhat happy hopeful ending it's just closer to angst than anything else I've written

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

All of them? I'd probably say Just go with it, because the entire last segment of that one is very domestic bliss kinda vibes

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I haven't so far

9. Do you write smut?

No, I'm not against it I just prefer writing other things and haven't written a fic where it felt necessary

14. All time favorite ship?

Favorite at the moment is Buddie but I don't know what my favorite of all time is, it changes too much

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will

I have a tendency to go back to stuff after months of ignoring it so I'm never really sure. I also have a lot of stuff I know I won't finish but don't really want to right now either I'd say the one I'm having the most trouble with right now is a 5+1 of the 5 times the 118 bet on Buck and Eddie getting together + the 1 time someone wins the bet just because I feel like there's lots of ways for it to go wrong and I keep overthinking it. I also have a fic about Buck, Bobby and Chris at the zoo that I'd love to finish but I never have any ideas to flesh it out with so I never write it

16. What are your writing strengths?

Fluff. Probably fluff.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I struggle with dialogue, correct punctuation and I also tend to be very overdramatic and cheesy especially if I'm writing angst

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language

Love it but I try to avoid it unless I'm working with someone who is fluent in said language

19. First fandom you wrote for

Supernatural probably but I don't remember exactly

20. Favorite fic you've written

An unlikely friend from the Eddie Diaz and the Universal Cat Distribution system series It was purely self indulgent and I really had a lot of fun writing it, I also enjoyed the process of trying to write something that took place alongside canon for the majority of the time

Tagging: @loveyouanyway @nmcggg @ladydorian05 @inell @agirllovespancakes

[waitmyturtles]

As part of my intensive dive into past Thai BLs for the Old GMMTV Challenge, a spirited conversation came up in the comments of my review of Love Sick/Love Sick 2 regarding if and how I should include a focus on ships in my watchlist. I haven't focused on specific ships yet -- I've been letting the historical/essential significance of the shows themselves, vis à vis the history of Thai BL, dictate the list I came up with (which I'll paste below).

@absolutebl has written, of course, a tremendous amount on the origins of the ships, especially the ones that really started the genre (KristSingto, OffGun, MaxTul, etc.), but one conversation that I wanted to highlight was whether or not Together With Me was worth watching. There seems to be a big divide regarding its toxicity vs. the importance of the birth of MaxTul as an essential couple/ship.

I wanted to lift this question out of the comments, actually, not *just* because of the MaxTul ship, but *also* because of the toxicity question. I'm not that afraid of shows with toxic factors -- I think they're fun to break down and write about, and to figure out how and why the shows were made in the first place (I'll note @so-much-yet-to-learn's INCREDIBLE comments in my Love Sick review about the nature of censorship in early Thai BLs and how that shaped the "gay for you" motif that I'm always obsessed with dissecting).

In other words: I have this feeling that some of these shows were toxic PRECISELY because of the time that they were made. We have great shows NOW -- did some shows HAVE to be toxic in order to be made back when?

Because I kinda want to play around with that question, I'm really thinking of adding Together With Me to my watchlist -- it would be in-between Make It Right and MIR 2.

But the feelings are really divided. @absolutebl, the friends in the comments (@manogirl, @clairificusrex, @aliceisathome, @nieves-de-sugui), and anyone else who wants to chime in -- what do y'all think -- watch it for the history? (@bengiyo, I know you recommend it for the Plern Pleng reference.) I'd be particularly curious for @absolutebl's thoughts on the inclusion of the ship perspective on my list -- because it's not one that I've thought about at all yet. (And I bet @bengiyo, @shortpplfedup, @lurkingshan, and others have thoughts on this, too). I've just allowed the shows on the list to introduce me to the ships, and not the other way around.

List below for thoughts. I'm adjusting it to include Together With Me for now -- the divide has got me VERY curious. I so appreciate the fam diving into this with me!

1) Love Sick and Love Sick 2 (2014 and 2015) (review here) 2) SOTUS (2016) (review here) 3) Make It Right (2016) 4) Together With Me (2016) 5) Make It Right 2 (2017) 6) Love By Chance (2018) 7) Kiss Me Again: PeteKao cuts (2018) 8) He’s Coming To Me (2019) 9) Dark Blue Kiss (2019) 10) TharnType (2019) 11) Theory of Love (2019) 12) Until We Meet Again (2019-2020) 13) 2gether (2020) 14) Still 2gether (2020) 15) I Told Sunset About You (2020) 16) A Tale of Thousand Stars (2021) (review here) 17) I Promised You the Moon (2021) 18) Not Me (2021-2022) 19) Bad Buddy (2021-2022) (thesis here) 20) KinnPorsche (2022) (tag here) 21) The Eclipse (2022) (tag here) 22) My School President (2022-2023)

‘On My Mind’

~ a LITG Max fanfic ~ 

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ

Chapter Three - First Dates

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞 💌:

As I’ve said, I’m not going by the script only in a few parts as I want it to be creative and so I can use my imagination in my writing, 

I’m gonna start writing from Max’s pov soon too :)

Thank you so much to everyone who has been reading and I’d absolutely love to hear your thoughts in the comments!!!

~Jess

you can read below or on AO3, whatever you like :)

𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞’𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐯:

I couldn’t help but squeal with the girls after the text about our first dates, 

mine being with Max of course! 

Just before I head to the dressing room, Max approaches me

‘Can I pull you for a quick chat?’

‘Sure’, The two of us go and sit on the swing seat

‘I just wanted to say how excited I am for this date with you Jazzy and from your squealing, I’m guessing that you are too’

Max grins 

‘Of course I am! I can’t wait to get to know you better Max’, I can’t help but smile at him, 𝘔𝘢𝘹 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦

‘Great now let’s go get ready!’,

He holds his hand out and I take it as he pulls me up, we race up the stairs to the dressing rooms 

‘Jazzy I have to know what you’re wearing’, Bea announces and I look through my part of the wardrobe 

‘I’m thinking this light blue co-ord set, 

but what do you guys think?’ I ask and Emel is the first to speak up

‘You should definitely wear that’

‘I agree, Jazzy you will look so hot!’, Bea exclaims and I try it on 

‘Woah, when did it get so hot in here?’

Claudia teases 

‘I’m guessing that means you guys like it?’

‘We definitely do! I wish I could take 

you on a date’

‘Bea I’d be honoured to go on a date with you’, I give her a soft smile 

𝘐’𝘮 𝘴𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘔𝘢𝘹!

‘Max won’t be able to take his eyes off you’, Emel announces 

Max and I take a stroll to our date,

once we arrive we see a table with chairs for us along with champagne on the table 

Max pulls out my chair for me and I sit down 

‘What a gentleman you are!’

‘Only the best for you’, Max winks as he starts to pour champagne into my glass,

I glance at him and Max is wearing a grey top with jeans along with his chain 

‘You really are the prettiest boy ever’,

I blurt out and I feel myself turn red and I watch as Max beams 

‘Ooh am I? I think you look absolutely stunning right now, you always do but especially right now’

‘Aww thanks, yes you definitely are! 

I honestly think that you’re so handsome’

I notice Max blush 

‘Thank you too! May I ask you about your last relationship?’, He asks and I nod

‘Yeah sure, I was with him for 5 years from 15 to 20 and I’ve been single ever since’

‘5 years is a long time, what happened?’

‘He cheated on me twice with the girl that he told me not to worry about’ 

Max’s eyes soften 

‘His loss though’

‘Exactly! At least I got to come here to have fun and hopefully find the love of my life’  

‘Do you reckon the you’ve found the one here yet?’, Max inquires 

‘I think he might be sitting

 right in front of me’, this time I wink at Max

‘I hope that you’re right Jazzy’

‘Me too, have you had much relationships?’

‘I’ve only had two relationships, 

but I’m here to find the love of my life too’

I take another sip of my champagne

‘I’m glad to hear that but now let’s talk music’

‘Sure it’s one of the things that we have in common’

‘Do you enjoy concerts?’ I ask Max

‘Yeah of course! I wanna see you live though, I bet you’d be amazing especially from the concert videos of yours that I’ve seen’

‘Aww yeah I’ve planned a tour for next year so you can have tickets’

‘Yay! I’m excited for that’

𝘚𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘢𝘹’𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘵 

‘Might have to bring you to all the shows’

‘Yeah maybe you should, I also love parties I nearly always wake up at 12pm’

‘I love parties too! I nearly always have to be dragged out of bed so we’re very similar’, I giggle as Max chuckles 

‘Maybe we’re meant to be!’

We lock eyes while smiling at each other,

‘Hopefully we are, do you have any pets?’

I watch as Max’s eyes light up

‘Yes I have a chameleon’

‘Oh my gosh, that sounds like 

the coolest pet ever!’ 

‘Yeah it really is’

𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘔𝘢𝘹 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥’𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳.

We walk back together while holding hands, the two of us giggling and blushing as well 

‘Everyone else must have gotten back from their dates before us’, I say 

‘Yeah they must have’

I know that we’re right when I hear their voices 

‘Look at you two cuties!’, Bea remarks 

‘How was your date?’ Shawn asks us and before either of us could reply, Liam speaks up

‘Well mine and Bea’s went amazingly’,

I notice that Bea doesn’t seem too impressed by Liam 

‘It was a 10/10 date definitely!’, Max answers 

‘More like 20/10 Max!’, I beam 

‘I couldn’t agree more with that Jazz’ 

𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦

‘Right let’s have our debriefs’, Kyle adds

and with that we split into our own girls and boys’ groups

‘I have a feeling that Liam isn’t a good listener’ Bea sighs 

‘Why?’ I ask 

‘All he did was talk about himself, barely asked about me’

‘What a prick!’, Claudia exclaims and I nod my head in agreement 

‘My date with Kyle went really well but I think Max is cute and I like him so I’m keeping my options open’, 

Emel announces and my smile fades from my face 

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘹, 𝘌𝘮𝘦𝘭?

I don’t say anything but all I do is get up and rush away, the boys notice me from across the lawn 

‘Jazz you okay?’

I hear Max ask me 

‘Emel why would you upset Jazzy like that?’, Bea yells 

‘I didn’t think that it would upset her’

‘You’re delusional ‘cause she clearly likes Max and he likes her’, Claudia barked back at Emel 

I walk inside and up to the terrance,

 not too long after I hear footsteps up 

‘What’s happened?’ Kyle asks and I look to see Max with him 

‘Emel likes you as well as Max too, Emel says that she’s keeping her options open’

I notice Kyle’s jaw clench 

‘Thank you for telling me’, he stomps out leaving Max with me, 

he sits beside me and he takes my hands 

‘Jazz there’s no need to be upset,

come on look at me’,

I turn and I look directly into his eyes

‘I know that it’s only been a day but honestly I only have eyes for you here, nobody else could change how I feel about you’

‘You really mean that Max?’

‘Of course I do, so you wanna stay here for a while?’

‘Yes please, I don’t really want to see Emel right now’

‘If Emel comes near me or tries to ruin us,

I simply won’t let it happen and you have my word for that’

Max puts an arm around me and I snuggle closer to him 

‘Good ‘cause I don’t want to lose you Max’

‘Jazz you’ll never lose me’

20 Questions for Fic Writers

@espithewarlock just tagged me on this, thank you bb 💕

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

62 + 1 on anon

exactly 559.489

3. What fandoms do you write for?

exclusively Formula 1 RPF (right now)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

call it what you want to - my firstborn wip, rival CEOs

hide and seek - crackfic where their families were never openly told Charles and pierre are married

baby one more time - pure porn. breeding kink.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I always try to but I am terrible at it 😬 I appreciate all of them, but I never know what to answer too skaduhfbnskuhfvndfkhusvb but yeah, I try to answer all of them

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I have literally two fics with MCD so it could be either 💀 but to me, it's gotta be I know I'll never get it (there's not a day that I won't try)

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I have literally no idea?? I don't really do unhappy endings (apart from MCD, and even then very rarely) so I could say any of them

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not really?? I got a bitchy comment once but that was about like. nothing related to the fic, which was weird osieugnsoeiugnfdivjn

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

yes. I don't know, I just- sit down and type it? idk what kind, I've written a wide range of different smuts I believe.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

that will depend on what you view as crossover. httyd au could be considered a crossover bc toothless and the fury light are literally part of the story??? the one where they are shadowhunters with our lord and saviour Magnus bane making an appearance (and Alec being mentioned). the proposal au? (I wouldn't say Lucifer au is a crossover bc I literally just based myself on the whole idea of celestial beings and whatnot. maybe it's a bible crossover??)

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that I am aware of, and I fucking hope not!!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I've had a request for it, but I'm not sure if the person is still thinking about it or what's going on. it would be an honour!!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

YES!!!! THE JUSTLY FIC!!!!!!! I love this fic so much and I love justi so much (debatable, we are in our enemies phase right now so I don't think I can say that in public) and it was SO MUCH FUN and I love writing with friends and I sure want to do it again!!! (friends..... if you want..... you know where to find me...... 😏😏)

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

definitely piarles. I will sometimes venture myself into other ships (especially if I want to write for a fren and I don't mind that ship)

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I don't have any published work that's unfinished bc I keep myself on a very tight leash about wips. if I start posting it, bet that I already have at least half of that story written and the rest is already meticulously planned. I have a few half-finished wips on my docs tho, but if I stop writing it's usually bc it's not bringing me any joy anymore. the nanny x ceo tho.... I stopped that one bc I got a bit depresso espresso at the time and life got busy as shit but I want to finish it so badly.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I ask myself that every day kkkkkkkkkkk I guess the fact that I can write really quickly? like if I have an idea I can just write down a whole 10k in like. 2 or 3 days.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

first of all I can't shut the fuck up. I have to restrain myself when I want to write anything less than 5k. im not sure if it's a weakness per se but yeah.

I also am very aware I have issues with describing the locations and with ending a fic. like. I never fucking know how to.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I don't mind when it's specific words or the occasional phrase and there's a translation to it. other than that, I won't lie, I kindof despise it. I can't speak, for example, Italian, so what is the point of reading a fic where the whole dialogue is in Italian if I won't understand shit?

19. First fandom you wrote for?

you will have to talk to my lawyer to get that information.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

I couldn't possibly choose only one! all the fics I post is because they bring me joy and I love writing them, so I don't think I have a favourite.

ANOTHER ONE 💥 WAPOW

Jocia Gains

1. Just like Yuu- i got a whooole playlist for her. Just like all my other OCs! Though I am more set on one specific song that defines her best: Seashore

2. At RSA? Chenya! At NRC? Kalim Al Asim. Both of them make her laugh. Chenya more than Kalim, but Kalim's extroverted tendencies help her open up a bit more to pretty much everyone. It's hard to be badass when such a cinnamon roll is always around.

3. Riddle Rosehearts. Ahhh, the one who breaks rules for what they think is the greater good, and the rule enforcer. Plus, they both have an AWFUL temper. When they're not pissed off to hell and back or breaking rules, they can actually get along decently.

4. Bugs and spiders. Fuck them. Nope. Crushing them with a baseball bat ASAP. This fear practically runs in the family.

5. P.E. It's the only class in school she's ever enjoyed. Exercising helps her blow off steam and keep her temper in check.

6. Umm... is all of the above an option? Most of the time she just doesn't show up. If I had to say one that she'd be bad at if she actually tried, it'd be Alchemy. It's too close to cooking, and this woman would burn down a house trying to make mac n cheese.

7. Welp, she played baseball a TON back in high school. It's something her and her siblings always practiced together, so it reminds her of home. That's for RSA, though. If she had to join one at NRC, it'd be the Mountain Lovers club. Can't use magic for Spelldrive, so hiking is her next best bet. She doesn't know shit about nature though. Sorry Jade (I'm not sorry LMAO)

8. Floyd Leech. Similarly to him and Riddle, he knows how to get on her nerves. Except she isn't as adherent to the rules, meaning they have and will exchange a few punches.

9. Sam! She's immune to his capitalist tactics, but besides that they're pretty chill. Plus he isn't a teacher, which means he doesn't scold her for misbehaving. That's definitely a plus.

10. Savanaclaw. 100%.

11. It's a tie between Jack Howl and Deuce Spade... or maybe leaning more towards Jack given her delinquent tendencies. She wouldn't be a good influence for Deuce, and she knows that. Jack and her relate a lot to each other. Though she doesn't really care about growing stronger as much. She just enjoys exercising and a more athletic physique.

12. Harveston! She's never been sledding before, but she is biased towards winter sports. Trying it out would be fun.

13. Floyd. It could go either way, seeing as I can see them brawling more than once.

14. Bad. Very bad.

15. Unlike Yuu, Jocia doesn't keep many secrets from her peers. At least not on purpose. The fact that her sister is off being a piece of shit at her rival school, though...

16. Shameless TCOAV chapter five plug

17. They're funny. They aren't too successful at scaring her, so she honestly finds their failed attempts to be hilarious. She even gets back at them from time to time.

18. Being away from family. She has herself worried sick over her siblings health and wellbeing, to the point where it's all she can motivate herself to think about. Going home is her #1 priority.

19. NO.

20. Book 6! >:)

[acrazybayernfan]

After speaking about gambling in the tags of a post I saw a few people interact with it and what they said made me realized that many people don’t know what’s going on with betting in sport which is totally normal because it’s not something a lot of people talks about. So here some information about the subject: approximatively 50% of the European population bets on sport, a little bit less in Assia (around 35%) and 20% in America (Africa and America Latina have very low percentage) so it’s quite an important phenomenon. The number of bets has increased massively over the last years thanks to online bet. Gambling isn’t bad in itself as long as it remains in certain limits, gambling must stay a divertissement, something you do for fun, with extra money. It can’t be considered as a way to get money to live. It must also remain something occasional because betting can easily turn into an obsession which will generate dependence just like drugs, mental issues (self-isolation) and of course important financial problems (x). A considerable amount of people when they lose a bet goes on Insta or Twitter or any other social medias to send insults, threats, even death threats to the players whom they consider to be responsible for their lost (x especially the second part). A lot of the hateful messages that sportsmen and women (and as usual it worse for women) received are due to betting. When this sort of attitudes happen I think that it’s already a sign that the persons doing that are too much involved in gambling and their friends and family should encouraged them to see a specialist. Those are what I call the exterior bad consequences of betting, the consequences that doesn’t affect the sport but the persons around it.

            But there are also internal consequences, the most dangerous and important one being fixed matches. The number of fixed matches has dramatically increased over the last years in many sports not only football. Most of the fixed matches are matches from the inferior divisions because it’s easier to bribe a player who earn 1 000 € each month than one who earns 100 000 €, logical. In football the main targets are goalkeepers, defenders and referees (sometime coaches) because they’re considered to be the ones who have the most influence on the game. Fixed matches are extremely lucrative, to the point that a few criminal syndicates who did arm trafficking switched to the organization of fixed matches because it’s more lucrative and less dangerous (and very useful for money laundering). If a syndicate bribe a goalkeeper for 10 000 € with the instruction to let his team lose by a margin of two goals (2-0, 4-2…), for an exact goal difference the odds are usually around 3, so if they bet 30 000 € on a defeat of this team with a two goals margin they will earn 50 000 € (30 000 x 3 – 10 000). But if for the same bribing sum this game is between the second of the championship and the last, the odds of the defeat will be high (let say 3), the odds of the goal margin will be higher because it’s less expected (let say 5), plus they can give the instructions that one goal has to be scored in the first half and one in the second half (the odds of this being let say of 7). So, for a combo of the defeat plus the two goals margin plus a goal scored in each half the odds are of 15, for the same bet of 30 000 € they will earn 450 000 € (minus the 10 000 € for the goalkeeper they gain 440 000 €). As you see it’s quite easy to earn a lot with match fixing (it’s even easier in tennis). People always assumed that match fixing are due to sportive reasons (winning a tittle, not being relegated...) but nowadays the majority of fixed matches are due to gambling because in football sport is not as important as money.

He was spoiled. 

That’s what it was, he was definitely spoiled. Because the only way that Lt.Bradley Bradshaw managed to sleep the very first night away from his wife was holding the little scent pouch in his hand and keeping it close to his nose, and honestly he slept so good he woke up invigorated the very next day.

He kept the little pouch inside his bag mostly, only taking it out when he was going to sleep. If Fanboy saw anything he didn’t voice it, if he did voice it thought it wasn’t to Rooster. The first few days were fine, the pouch she sent with him was more than enough to help him sleep but he felt the little worm inside of him, the one that often craved for Beatrice’s affection gnaw at his heart every once in a while. 

And he put on a brave face, he clenched his jaw tight and remembered that he was going to see her again, soon, in four months and all he had to do was be careful at what he does. That’s all that was.

Phoenix, who honestly needed a new hobby instead of giving him the amused looks by the corner of her eye, appeared by his side when they were all having lunch like a ninja without a smoke bomb. Rooster slowed his chewing, then turned his head to where the female pilot was, “What?” he questions, then repeats it when she just smiles more at him.

“Say,Rooster,” she drapes her arm over his shoulders when she sits down next to him, “There’s a bet going on.”

“Okay?”

“About you and Bea-”

“Jesus Christ.”

Phoenix laughs with a toss of her head, “No,no, hear me out, hear me out, we are all thinking how you are going to react during the week you’ll be able to talk to Beatrice.” she explains, “Half of us think you’ll be snappy and grumpy but others think you’ll be just too anxious to do so and will pace around like a mother hen circling her nest.”

Rooster’s unimpressed stare didn’t help the situation and he just shoved the spoonful inside his mouth instead of replying, which makes Phoenix tsk, “Come on, don’t you want to add in your bet?”

“You guys always bet on us-”

“We actually bet mainly on you.”

He narrows his eyes at his friend, who just shrugs innocently with the same know it all smile, “Listen, maybe I won’t have any of those reactions.” he says, “Maybe that’s not going to happen, maybe you guys won’t even see me before I talk to Bea.”

Phoenix blinks twice, “Uh-huh,” she says clearly not believing him, “Because you managed to do that before, didn’t you?”

The constant teasing from his friends ever since he demonstrated interest in Beatrice never stopped, in fact it got worse when he started dating her and even more when they got married. He understood it was all in good fun, but there were others with relationships in the squad like Jake and Bob and they never teased them about it.

But he knew if he asked they’d just say it was because Rooster wore his heart on a sleeve every time Beatrice was mentioned.

“Anyway, how’s been going since you are here mister married man?”

“I’m fine.” he misses Beatrice a lot but it’s doable, but Phoenix doesn’t need to know that, “Could be worse.” but the feeling of something happening comes up every now and again, he doesn’t know what it was, he can’t pinpoint if it’s something good or bad but he feels deep within his soul that there will be something different when he talks to her again.

His mind trails back to the anonymous accounts from months back and he fears they’ll show up one more time but with more vengeance. No one could find out who it was, nor what they wanted besides lurking in Beatrice’s profile. His brain still sent signals that the person could very well be Eric, or some of his lackeys because even if Beatrice did beautifully punch him on her birthday last year he doesn’t know Eric like she does, honestly he wanted to introduce his fist to the guy’s face when he was able more than anything.

But maybe he was just having these thoughts because of a post-matrimonial haze, maybe that’s why, Beatrice wasn’t alone and she could always ask Michael to spend the night at the house if need be. And Jolene…who barked only once during their night walk that time but she could be pretty scary, especially now that she was going to have puppies.

“Could be worse? Rooster.” Phoenix elbows his bicep, “Come on, you cannot wait to talk to Beatrice again.”

“Well,it’s true but I’m managing it.” his mouth curls into a smirk when he turns to Nat, “How about you and Umberto,huh? How’s that going?”

It was her turn to look annoyed and avoid his gaze, shoving such a big spoonful of food in her mouth it almost made her cheeks burst, “I don’t know why you haven’t told anyone about it yet, I mean it’s obvious you two are together.” another glare, “What? I am right, Bea knows it too, what are you waiting for?”

Natasha finally swallows the immense ball of food she had in her mouth with a gasp, then licks her lips, “I want to meet his parents first,” she says, “It’s not that simple, okay? We have to check or schedules and everything and…you know, maybe when I come back this time I can go to Italy and meet them.”

“Hm…I think Roberto will like you a lot.” he says, “That’s Umberto’s father.”

“What about his mother?”

“She seemed fine, a bit annoyed that her husband bought a yacht but, you know.” his phone buzzes and the conversation cuts short because his focus was on something else right now, “And that’s my cue to leave.”

“Rooster-”

“Sorry, gotta go,” he waves his phone up, “I think you’ll have to figure out how to deal with his parents by yourself, Nat. See ya!” and he walks away, leaving a stupefied Natasha sitting down, looking almost annoyed that he dared to do that. Once his laughter falters enough and he’s far away from everyone else, he sees that the message - obviously - is from Beatrice. 

It’s a picture of herself and Jolene, the pittie with her pink - and round now - stomach up, both of them lying on their patio and Beatrice grinning at the camera. She looked extremely relaxed and considering the time zone they were both in she probably took this picture hours ago before going to work.

Bea (11:30)

Took her to the vet earlier today :) she’s doing fine, I’m preparing the house for when the puppies come. I’ll keep you updated, okay?

Roos (11:34)

You both look really happy. I’m glad she’s okay gorgeous. How about you? Are you okay?

Bea (11:36)

I’m fine! Long day at work and it’ll be even longer tomorrow because it’s the halloween party at the Hard Deck, but me and the girls are going hiking this weekend! :) I’m so excited!

Roos (11:38)

Babe that’s great! Take pictures if you can okay?

Bea (11:40)

Okay! How about you? How are you holding up?

Roos (11:43)

I’m fine all things considered, it’s been a bit intense but nothing we can’t handle. We are all fine and safe though. I miss you a lot. 

Bea (11:44)

I miss you too Roos. I’ve been sleeping on your side of the bed since you left. It smells a lot like you.

He felt like he got shot in the heart by that sentence, having to hold back the pained expression from the other pilots walking by or else people would think he was having some sort of issue. Bradley inhaled, regaining his bearings and smiled back at the phone, typing a response.

Roos (11:48)

Aw, babe, you are too cute. Honestly your little scent pouch has been helping me sleep a lot too, it’s like having you here without you being here.

They don’t talk too much after that because he could see that Beatrice’s writing was getting choppy and missing words, undoubtedly she was already falling asleep, she was just trying to let him know everything that happened in one single message and failing every time. So, even though he wanted to keep talking to her, he just told her to go to bed and they’d talk again soon and to not worry…and that he missed her, again.

Beatrice’s reply was just a ‘<3’ because she fell asleep minutes later. He looked down at the screen with a fond smile, zooming on the picture with his thumb and index finger to focus on her smile. It was so bright and infectious even if she wasn’t there right by his side, she was so wonderful and so-

“I think I’m going to win this bet.”

He jumped in place when he heard Maverick’s voice come from behind him, almost dropping his phone, “Jesus Christ- what?”

“You are going to make me win this bet.” he repeats with a grin, “I told everyone you’d just almost float to wherever it was to talk to Beatrice and have that look on your face.”

“Look?”

“Yeah,” Pete smiles, pointing at his nephew, “That one, with the soft smile and heart in your eyes. That specific one.”

Bradley’s brows immediately lowered and he turned off his phone with a huff, “I’m not that fault that she’s great.” he mutters, cheeks flushing because yeah, he really was that obvious when it came to Beatrice, he couldn’t even deny it anymore now, “Plus, hearing from her is always good.”

“I know Rooster. Is she okay?”

“She’s fine,” the younger pilot says leaning against a wall, ‘Been taking care of Jolene so that’s why she sent me a message, she took her to the vet to check on the puppies.” 

Mav nods with his smile still present, “You still got that…” he gestures to his chest, “Feeling?”

“Sometimes, it comes and goes. But hearing that she’s okay helps get rid of the worst thoughts.” Rooster says after a while even if his brows are furrowed when he does so, “She’ll be fine…now, how much money are you guys betting on me…again?”

“Oh we doubled this time.” his nephew’s shocked expression was enough to make a chuckle fall out of Mav’s lips, “If I win I’ll share with you, how’s that?” and he pats the taller pilot on the back as the two walk away from the secluded spot Bradley went to check his messages.

-

Good news was, she no longer had a stomach bug! It passed by the end of the week but she stopped drinking alcohol for a while thinking that was the main cause of it. She told no one, not even her therapist because she didn’t want anyone to worry too much about her and she also considered this was just her anxiety acting up as well.

Maybe it was just her brain missing Rooster and such it made her feel sick, even if it didn’t happen before, it was only because they got married. And of course, worrying about Jolene! It had to be that as well! 

But there was something in the back of her mind that whispered, like a little gleeful fae trying to trick her into stepping into a fairy ring: what if she was pregnant? 

It crossed through her mind for a little bit, but she was counting the days and there was no way it was that. She knew it, she had everything written down! So, right now, all she wanted to worry about was to enjoy Penny’s Halloween party! It was weird to not have the Dagger Squad or Mav there when it happened, but they make do. And this year, she was wearing the flapper costume Shells got for her alongside the…other one…that was no longer usable because of the giant rip between her thighs.

Just remembering about it was enough to make her shiver, thankful that she was hidden behind the counter, crouched down to pick up extra straws so no one would see her. When she stood back up, she noticed that Shells was looking outside the bar with her brows furrowed, something that made the brunette tilt her head in the same direction, “Shells?” the blonde blinks since she was snapped out of her focused stare, then turns to Beatrice, “Everything okay?”

It takes a few minutes for Shells to reply, something that never happened before, “Yeah.” and Beatrice gave her friend a confused glance, “I thought I saw someone.”

“Oh…okay?” Shells didn’t look really happy after that statement, so she walked away from Bea after grabbing the refilled mugs from Penny’s hand. Penny, who was dressed as Sarah Connor - because of course she would - gave her niece an eyebrow raise but got nothing else from her. “...is Shells okay? I’ve never seen her like that before.”

“She’s probably tired.” Penny says, but she does look outside as well, “Tell you what, why don’t you two take a break together in a few? I can handle things here for a little while.”

Beatrice blinks at Penny in shock, “Are you sure?” the other brunette nods with a small smile, letting Beatrice know that it wouldn’t be a problem at all. 

It doesn’t take too long for that to happen, Shells being so strangely silent that Beatrice feels that there’s something else besides the tiredness Penny talked about. She stood out of the bar watching Shells look so furious it was like she’d melt the concrete “Shells? What’s going on?”

“Nothing.”

“...Well,If you don’t want to talk about it then–”

“I thought I saw Eric,” she immediately cuts Beatrice off, which the brunette knew it’d happen since Shells hated keeping things in for too long, “Outside, right now,I thought I saw him.”

Beatrice parts her lips to speak, then looks around the parking lot. The thought that Eric, after having his nose broken and avoiding her at the reunion would suddenly show up at her work wasn’t really helpful, “...are you sure?”

“Fuck no,but if it was I’d probably lunge at him.” Shells growls, crossing her arms as she leaned against the wall, “Man, what the fuck does he still wants with you? If it was him, is he stupid? Does he not know you are married? Or did he forget that Rooster was right behind you when you beat the shit out of him?”

Beatrice licks her lips, her eyes still on the parking lot. “You don’t even know if it was him.”

“Well whoever it was had a big fucking head and was looking suspicious.” she snaps, “...I’m going to sleep at your place tonight.”

“Shells–”

“I am going to. We’re going to watch horror movies and get pizza, but you won’t be alone, not when Rooster isn’t here too.”

“What’s happening?”

The voice that apparently came out of nowhere made the two women yelp out in surprise, with Shells almost losing her balance and falling face first to the ground. “Jesus fuck Evelyn!” the blonde shouts, doing a double take at her friend’s costume, “Oh for fuck’s sake. You just have to humiliate us, don’t you?” Evelyn was really dressed like Leeloo, with the orange hair and the blonde roots, the stomach tattoo exposed because of the white crop top and low rise pants.

“I like your costume too Shells.” she looks at the blonde’s getup with her brow up seeing she was just wearing a green full bodysuit with springy antennas on her head, “Anyway, what was going on, why are you staying at Bea’s?” the blonde hesitated for a few seconds, then blurted out the explanation, with a few other expletives amongst them, why she’d do that. Evelyn’s eyebrows furrow, moving from Shells to Beatrice,worry written all over her face, “Do you think he knows you work here?”

“No? I don’t think so, at least.” Beatrice shrugs, “W-We don’t even know if it was really him, there’s no need to be worried like that.”

Evelyn hums, “Your aunt still has the cameras outside, right?” Shells nods, “Do you think we can see it? Maybe we can figure out if it was him or not.”

Shells ‘oooh’s and nods, “I can grab the pen drive to check, I usually do it anyway, she hates dealing with it.”

Beatrice feels like they are…understandably, worried. But the chances of that happening would be less than minimal, right? It wasn’t like him to do that, he was creepy and misogynistic and gross but he wasn’t a stalker. She scared him off! He wouldn’t dare stalk her when his family’s name is so well known around California like that, “I just think it was someone who looked like him at best.” Beatrice mutters, “I just…I…” she inhales shakily, tenting her hands over her eyes, “Guys,I don’t want to get…worried about this, not now? You know, it’s…I…Rooster isn’t here, he won’t come back in four months and if I have that in my head I’ll probably lose sleep.”

“Good idea I’ll be sleeping over then.” Shells smiles, “Oh come on, even if it isn’t him it’d still be fun. We can have a sleepover of sorts. Evelyn can come too, right Ev?”

“I’d need to feed Wiley but I could spend the night.”

Beatrice, while extremely appreciative of her friends, felt like this would only trigger her anxiety and paranoia and probably bring back that stomachache from before. The two women looked at her expectantly, waiting for her positive response…and after a gentle sigh, Beatrice nodded her head, “Okay…we can have a sleepover.” she smiles, “But…let’s just see the videos and then independent of what it shows, don’t talk about it again okay?”

The other two looked at each other, then smiled, “Deal.”
