#and for a moment I felt bad that I hated her cuz oh! she said girlfriend! she must be a gay!

[forfuckssakejim]

I just. Fucking hate straight women using the term girlfriend for their female friends. Like please fucking stop. Next time I hear it I’m just gonna play stupid and be like “oh that’s amazing! How long have you and your partner been together?” And fuck their world up. Try me bitches

[applejuicefruit]

Well i have a request.

Where y/n & kylian have their first actual big fight and she saw his angry side cuz he was stressed and it came out on her, fluff ending would be the cutest :(

i love writing angst so this is a yes

kylian mbappe x reader

tw : kylian being a little mean and toxic, reader being scared, ends with fluff tho…

Stressed out

“Please…just stop” Kylian said after storming into your shared apartment. You two were having a meeting with a few people in the football industry and apparently a man tried to have his way with you. It didn’t matter that you said no, it didn’t matter that you tried to not hurt his feelings and gently avoiding him, it didn’t matter that you wanted Kylian and Kylian only because all he saw was you talking with that guy and now Kylian was furious.

“Why? You don’t even let me talk!” you shouted back after slamming the front door closed.

“Talk? About what! How that man was all over you and you let him? That’s what you want to talk about?” he said, his voice filled with poison. In all honesty Kylian knew you didn’t do anything, he knew and he saw how you rejected that man but in that moment he was so stressed, with everything, his career, the team, his teammates, his friends and family, everything felt like he was going to explode at any point and unluckily for you, you were the one who was going to be his target. He didn’t want to hurt you, that’s the last thing he wanted to do but he was so fed up with everything that he couldn’t help himself.

“Okay Kylian, you’re taking it a little bit too far…” you spoke, your voice calm, trying to resonate with him.

“Too far? Are you even listening to yourself? That man was all over you and you let him!” he screamed back as he threw his jacket on the floor.

You’ve never seen Kylian so mad and honestly it was scaring you.

“I suggest we stop this conversation now or we’re both going to say things we’re gonna regret later…and I don’t wanna fight, let’s just sleep over it and then we can talk about it tomorrow okay?” you suggested, keeping your tone calm and gentle but Kylian wasn’t having it.

“You don’t wanna fight because you know I’m right!” he screamed back at you, his eyes full of hate and in that moment you were terrified.

“Okay I get it Kylian but stop screaming please…” you tried to left the living room and going straight to the bedroom but Kylian followed behind, not wanting to drop the conversation.

“No! You don’t get it!” he screamed so loud that it made you flinch away from him. You turned around and looked at him with teary eyes but it felt like Kylian had a rock instead of his heart in that moment.

“Stop it…please Kylian” you begged him. You’ve never seen him so mad. He never screamed at you that much. He never screamed at you at all. You’re both used to sort things out just by talking to each others, so you had no idea where this outburst of energy was coming from but it was terrifying you. You sat on your shared bed and brought your knees to your chest and crossed your arms around them.

“I’m gonna drop it the moment you admit you let that man all over you! Is it so hard to say that you liked the attention he was giving you? Uh?” he shouted back but you weren’t even listening at this point. You put your head between your knees and your hands over your ears, trying to stop the noise that was coming from Kylian.

He had no idea he was scaring you this much. He was just so mad and stressed that he took it out all on you.

“Please stop it Kylian…” you said, your voice completely breaking to the point you were crying.

It took Kylian a few minutes to realise he hurt you so bad.

The moment Kylian saw you sat in that position on the bed he knew he fucked up really bad. He never meant to scared you.

“Y/n?” he called your name but you pretended you didn’t hear it “babe…please” his voice became sweet and a bit scared “can you look at me please?” he sat on the bed next to you but you flinched away.

“Oh babe…I’m so sorry” he said, a few tears falling from his eyes “I never meant to scare you, I’m so sorry babe” he said tearing up a bit. You looked at him and his gentle hands wiped away your tears.

“I’m so sorry…” he cried.

In that moment you realised Kylian wasn’t mad at you, no, he was mad at something else and he just needed a way to let it all out, that way involving you.

“Kyky…” he melted when you called him with his nickname “can you tell me what’s going on?” your voice was still shaking a bit.

“I’m just so stressed…that’s all” he held your hands in his bigger ones “I’m stressed and I think that was the only way to let all out…I never meant to hurt you, believe me please” he said and you nodded, smiling a bit.

“Why don’t we take a hot shower? Or a bath?” you proposed and Kylian smiled, agreeing with you.

“I think that’s perfect” he kissed your hands. 

you both got up and went straight into the bathroom where Kylian prepared the tub with your favourite soaps and he gently undressed the both of you. There wasn’t anything sexual in his movement, he was just caring for you and that was his way to say how sorry he was.

you both got into the warm tub and let the warm water wash away the stress you both had.

Kylian’s hands gently massaged your shoulders, leaving kisses and love bites in different places.

“I’ll never apologise enough for what I did” he said.

“It’s okay…” you whispered.

“No it’s not…I scared you” he took a deep breath “I scared the most important person in my life…I scared the person I promised to protect…I’m sorry baby” he apologised again, leaving a soft kiss on your cheek.

“I love you Kyky” you laid down on his chest and let his arms falling around your waist.

“I love you too mon amour” he said, enjoying the moment you were both having.

Well, it's time for my hcs. (Mostly UM and KO)

Ultra Magnus has a terrible CPTSD. Sometimes he hears a plane and immediately transforms his hands into blasters. When he talks to someone he tries to continue the dialogue, but all his attention goes to figuring out the location of the enemy. (+ he has bad sleep schedule)

I'M also has a terrible case of 'bad things happen to bots when I leave them'. He doesn't like staying away from the battle, because he cares very much for his new found family. He isn't afraid of dying for the cause, but he doesn't want to lose anyone.

At the free time he has helped some Autobots make their battle skills better. Like he spared with Miko in Apex armor so she could practice her punches and also had classes for medics (Ratchet and KO). They didn't have blasters, which is disadvantage, but they figured out the way to fight almost as good as others.

Speaking of KO. He wasn't very welcomed at team at first, so he was watched very closely. Yet sooner or later they've warmed up to him. KO was a bit afraid at first, but seeing that they meant no harm, he came back to his sassy attitude.

Also KO has some appreciation problems. When he was a decepticon he had to earn the respect and after Shockwave came along he felt very replaceable. He wasn't thanked for his work half as much as he should. So when Ratchet thanked KO in 3 season he genuinely said "you're welcome".

But the moment he felt he was accepted into team prime was when OP didn't let him on some mission. It went like "Why can't I join?", "Knock Out, comrade, you aren't in need of another warrior, yet we may use the help of a second medic." "We can't just lose medics around. Too important." Ratchet adds. After like the whole team nods. And KO felt so appreciated

After that he became very close to Team Prime and (if they stayed on earth) to kids. When some bully is rude to Jack, KO would let Darby drive himself in school just to show off. He'd watch horrors with Miko, and even tell some interesting stuff abt Cybertronian culture, organism ect to Raf

Also he'd race with Bee and Smokescreen, but he is hella competitive. Like this scene in Avatar The Last Airbender, where Azula plays volleyball. "You'll never rise from the ashes of humiliation!" "Dude... It's not that deep bro.."

Oh, and he'd be very awkward with Smokey cuz like... He tried to open him up. But Smokey doesn't mind it, saying that they're even after he put KO in the wall

The other very strange relationship he has with Bulkhead. It's because of Breakdown. Bulkhead hated him and, as we all know, KO was in a relationship with him. Bulk ofc doesn't hold anything against KO for his relationship, yet they'd have a lot of different opinions on BD. They would talk a lot, finding out more about BD's past

And boy oh boy he had a wild one. Him and Bulkhead were born in the same class. They were builders, as Bulkhead said 'I can build stuff, I can break stuff. That's all.' Yet both of them wanted to do more good in the world, so they joined the Wreckers (before the war it was a gang that helped everyone in need and protected the weak), where they've met. Bulk and BD quickly became brothers in arms but the war seperated them

Once BD heard a broadcast of Megatron's ideas of reforming Cybertron and became a great supporter. He joined the decepticons cuz he thought it was his chance to make the world better. He was so blinded by Meg's promises that he thought this crimes were justified. Bulkhead was more observant, and felt something shady and was grossed out by bombings. But the thing that brought them apart and made them enemies was BD's betrayal. Early in the war Megatron was merciless and Wreckers mostly opposed him. Breakdown pledge allegiance to Megan. He wanted whole gang to join, but they refused and Big M wanted to destroy them all. Breakdown told the location of their hideout, and when Wreckers met there, they were greeted by pistols. It was a big fight, some lives were lost. After that BD went with Decepticons and Bulkhead with the Autobots. Now Bulk hated BD for his betrayal

KO never knew abt that cuz he met BD later. Knock Out was a doctor in one of the neutral cities, that were captured by Decepticons early in the war, and decided to join the "winning team" Just to survive

After all the talks Bulkhead started to respect KO more

Knock Out, Bee and Smokey regularly forcing the gang to go to the drive in theaters.

Arcee, June and Miko have a girls nights where they judge everyone

OP and UM are very close. To the point they're mistaken for brothers (they call each other that in private)

Ultra Magnus doesn't like to show affection in public, so when someone wants to hug him or smt like that, they always ask him to another room. Like after OP came back in season 3, Optimus said smt like "Ultra Magnus, old friend, for a word". And then they are just hugging in another room

Optiratch. Just them. Married. Conjux endura. That's all

Megatron, Soundwave and Shockwave are mean girls.

Megasound cuz you can't stop me. And Shocky just third wheeling his spark out.

Shockwave actually started to like Starscream when they were left on earth.

Agent Fowler and June dating, cuz they both deserve better

KO, Arcee and Ratchet form a widow club after the film.

KO and Arcee beat Arachnid's aft together.

That's all for now.

[heyimcelery]

Okay so I watched all of Ninjago Dragons Rising s2p2! I've got so many thoughts and I'm dumping them all here in a long list. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

to start: Cole!! He's a family man! He's got a boyfriend and they hold hands and they care for their kids and Bonzle so obviously came out to them and omg I wanted to cry. The joy of acceptance. I mean come one she kept saying how alone she felt, they're found family, she was repeating that she chose he town name and identity and the villains were insistent that she wants a person but just a spell like come on

But there's more than that, I have questions I have concerns!! Like wtf happend on Coles quest?? With Sensei Wu??? Like he disappeared and turned up again and said he would explain but never did.

Cole also came back from that in his bolder form so did he figure out he could do it on his own then? Is that what he learned on his quest?? If so it's gonna be a little awkward when he tried to explain that to his bf Geo.

With part 2 I really want to see the whole gang meet them and talk and catch up on everything. Like cole has been missing since the merge and no one this season cared. At all. They hadn't seen him in ages- didn't even know if he was alive until drs1 but nope no worries or concerns. Not even a question of what he was up to.

When he came through the portal Zane wasn't worried or confused at all, just oh? You need some help?? Sure let's beat these bad guys and not worry or show emotions! Is a tearful reunion for my fav character too much to ask?? Cuz he clearly deserves it. :(

And then into both Zane and Coke this season!! Love them!! They've always been my fav duo (gonna have to start shipping geo/Cole/Zane as poly now) it was so fun to see them going around together with Bonzle. They had some great moments and I'm praying we get more in the next part.

On the other hand it was a shame they got such small roles- just seperated from the others as a way to help Bonzle. It means they didn't have the same lessons or knowledge the others got which is totally unfair!! They have a lot to catch up on. They also never got a chance to be part of the main battle

It's dumb but I was kinda hoping for Cole to show off his stronger powers (he always seems to get new powers every other season but that's a discussion for another day). Like sure he could use his robotic mech suit but that's been done before! He can do his boulder thing now (unless somehow he still thinks he can't which means he kept up that form for several days on his quest) and when he made that giant mid hut to protect his family!! I want to see him do that again! Let me man go ape shit to protect Bonzle.

And on another note, Geo my beloved, you should get a chance to shine with your powers. A chance to show off or at least have a talk about them with Cole.

Next up WyldFyre. I was worried they would make her the annoying comic relief cuz if her injury but her talks about losing loved ones and dragon culture and her home were really sweet and it was great to see some development so driven by battles. I love those too don't get me wrong but like I needed to see this side of her. And I adore her relationship with Kai, being besties/mentors/dad for her works so great for both characters.

I will be first to admit that

Kai wasn't really my favourite. If you couldn't tell I love Cole followed by Zane. Always have and likely always will. I suppose that early Kai reminded me too much of some guys form my class and they turned into shitheads and I've always struggled to reconcile Kai's image form theirs. He was always a little too brash, hotheaded, and too often written as stupid to fall into my good graces.

And yet this season I adored him. Of course I've never hated him but like this season made me see what all his fans (many many fans) see in him.

I thought Kai being the first to master such a new, difficult and crucial skill was incredibly satisfying. Form all the way back to season 1 he's been the butt of jokes- having to learn he's not the centre of the universe and sometimes it's others like Lloyd who are the chosen ones. That's all great but him now getting a starting role, his ability being fueled by thoughts of his family, by his childhood and by protecting is friends was just too good to ignore him. Love this form of his character more than any other I've seen.

And now Kai is trapped :(

I'm glad he's got Bonzle with him tho so hopefully they can have each other's backs (she's meant to be a POWERFUL spell after all) they'll need each other if they're trapped with those other 4 guys. If they can apparently demolish everything then I'm rather worried for the duo. Tbh I'm sure they'll survive just fine, probably making jokes at Cole's expense all the while.

On a side note, I found it super cute how WyldFyre was willing to protect and go down with Kai. Besties I'm telling ya

Now Jay. I've never thought too hard about him I know he's one of the favs of the fandom but like Kai I was never so besotted with him. Still a great guy and omg I feel so bad. One of his worst fears was always being alone and now stuck, confused, forced to hide such a fundamental part of himself.

On the other hand he's got a gun now so that's fun!!

And you can't talk about him without mentioning Nya. He worst fears being him forgetting hurts my soul. And she was so sure it could never be true that she snapped out of her nightmare state!! She's going to break when she finds out.

She's already grieving her own brother, we saw her break down into WyldFyre (more proof she's an honorary sibling by now) but now knowing what's happening with Jay, I'm saying the angst is going to be overpowering. It's a greek tragedy fr

Part 2 is going to be rough. Jay only had a single scene but it's already a sign for the worst to come.

Speaking of things being rough, Lloyd is going THROUGH IT!! give this poor guy a break. I do appreciate that we physically get to see the effects of all his trauma- that everything that's happened has real consequences for his character and the story but I can't help but feel bad.

I've also suffered from anxiety for most of my life so to see it in a character like that feels really personal to me. Hope he gets a little break though, god knows he deserves it.

Have to say it's pretty funny that Lloyd's had so much Oni trauma that he forgot that he's part dragon too. Yes ninjas dragons can do spinjitsu why are you surprised at this point

The animation this season has been incredible, the fights were beautiful the angles so interesting and dynamic and I could go on for hours about how much I love it. It's always great when kids -and even animation in general is treated with respect. It doesn't dumb it's ideas and stories and characters for the sake of it's younger audience, and that makes it so much better for me who is definitely out of the age range.

I have my more points to make but I've been adding stuff in and off for ages so I'll probably go through this all later. Thanks for reading, please I want to know your own thoughts too I love discussing that kinda stuff!!

[astro-eats]

Gangle might be getting silly chat (tw, body issues)

Me: hm! I want to vent because today was a new experience! Oh wait I don't want to talk about myself, ima project my own problems onto a fictional character who has enough problems already! <3

Also, in this lets just say the characters can shower and eat a lot and throw up cuz its won't be accurate if not <3 also this is lazily written so I might do this for characters talking// Character name: "Words blah blah blah." Also there is abstragedy after the vent part

321 go

Gangle and the rest of the cast were celebrating! Bubble cooked a great feast (... "Great") and everyone was sat at the table, eating. Gangle put the food into her mouth. She started feeling a little sick. Just a little. But she kept eating. What a stupid decision. She kept eating, then the sick feeling in her stomach grew stronger. She needed to stop eating. But she felt like she had eaten so much already. She'd eaten so much. She ate. A lot.

...

She kept eating. She couldn't stop now. She kept eating. She didn't even want to with most of the things. She felt sick. She felt horrible. She hated herself. She hates herself. She hates he

Oh! Everyones going to the digital lake now.

Gangle feels horrible, but goes with everyone. She momentarily forgets about this whole eating stuff and tries having fun. Which she does. (But who cares about fun, we need angst.)

After all that, she grabs a drink and goes to her room. She walks into her bathroom and locks the door. Gangle stares at herself in the mirror. She feels horrible about herself. She chugs the drink, knowing its sugar contents and that it's gonna make her more sick.

With that "preparation", she goes into the shower and runs the water over herself.

...

She depends onto her knees and leans over the shower drain. She then shoves her ribbon hand down her throat and gently touches the back of her throat, causing her to gag.

Am I actually doing this..?

She does it again, her eyes now dripping with tears. She gags again. She does it once again. Again. Again. Again. Gagging and tearing up. Finally, she throws up.

...

She throws up again. Again. Again. Again. Until she stops. She looked at the hand that was previously down her throat.

... Why do I do this to myself.

She shoves it down her throat again. This time it doesn't work and she gags. So she does it again and doesn't throw up.

Time for a break. Just a moment of staring around and feeling the water. It was nice. Especially after she just threw up. Bit she wasn't done.

She gently puts her hand in her throat again, causing her to gag. Soon enough, she throws up. She throws up again. And again. Again. Again.

...

Time to wait for a bit. Just relax. That's all she needs to do. Its all she can do. Just lay back and feel the water. The water felt nice. It felt like it was washing away the pain. For just a moment. But it wasn't. The second she was out of that shower, it was gonna be bad again. It always is.

Gangle found herself leaned over the floor of the shower. She tried to throw up, but it didn't work well. It didn't work at all. She shoved her ribbon Albans into her throat multiple times, frustration building at the fact it wasn't working. She finally managed to throw up the last of her stomachs contents. She kept forcing herself to do that until there was nothing.

She instantly got up and rinsed herself and her mouth off.

Why can't I just be ok. There's always something. Always. I can't have a break. I can't have... Anything.

...

Gangle was now laying on her bed. How pathetic. She felt so empty. And the empty feeling in her stomach didn't help at all. She was emotional and frustrated and depressed. And hungry.

...

A/N: after this author note, everything said has not happened to me and is more just Gangle angst and maybe abstragedy

...

Soon enough, the inevitable happened. Someone knocked.

Gangle: "Who is it..?" She spoke in a sad tone. Her voice made it obvious she felt empty and depressed.

Zooble: "Its me. I'd you don't open up the door I'm opening it myself."

Gangle: "... Hngh... Come in then..." She rolled in her bed to face the door.

Zooble opened said door, walking in with a neutral expression. They closed the door and walked closer to her.

Zooble: "You good?"

Gangle: "Mhm..."

Zooble: "You don't look good." They looked her up and down as they walked towards the bed, sitting next to her tired body.

Gangle blinked, almost comically slowly. This raised a red flag for zooble. She was basically a depressed mess.

Zooble: "Tell me what's wrong."

Gangle: "... Nothings wrong."

Zooble: "Gangle if you don't talk to me right now I swear I'm gonna f-"

Gangle: "... You're not helping.."

Zooble: "Oh uh.. Sorry. But you need to tell me what's wrong. If you abstract I swear Gangle."

Gangle was frustrated. She wanted to just cry or be cuddled, not talk. That's not what she needed. She needed silent comfort. But it was hard to communicate that without getting frustrated at them.

Gangle: "Stop.."

Zooble: "What do you mean 'stop' Gangle?! You NEED to tell me what's wrong RIGHT now!"

Gangle looked at them for a split second, before bursting into tears. The tears rolled off her face and dripped onto the blanket. Oh the look on Zoobles face. Even without a mouth, their expression said 'I F---ed up.'

Zooble: "Uh.. I uh- what-"

Gangle muttered out pieces of sad words. Her sentences were a puzzle that the smartest person in the world couldn't put together. One word that could be made out was 'Hug'. Zooble really didn't want to. Physical affection wasn't their thing. But since they got with Gangle, they were warming up to it. So they awkwardly pulled her onto them and ran their claw across her torso.

The action was comforting. This is what Gangle needed the most. Silent comfort. Meanwhile, zooble felt awkward and slightly uncomfortable. But they're willing to put in work for her. She obviously needs it..

Zooble: "Do you want to talk now?"

Gangle: "... I.. Hate.. I- ugh..!" Frustration was obvious in her tone.

Zooble: "... Ok."

Im to lazy and obviously hungry to write the rest. Enjoy my vent turning into yuri lolll

[bonjas]

betty la fea: la historia continua episodes 5&6

Well that was a whole lot of...nothing. With how fun episodes 3&4 were, I was so optimistic about the rest of the show, but damn, they stomped out that hope REAL quick. I don't even know where to start lol, I guess at the beginning...

The opening scenes were so jarring? Firstly, this show LOVES cutting scenes in between entire fucking conversations so we get an awkward 5 second betty scene, then it goes straight to the walking through the jail scene that felt like it was supposed to be a dream, but we never got a "waking up to reality" scene, he was just IN JAIL LMAO like?? We went from confession, straight to jail? There wasn't even an ongoing investigation going on into what was happening at ecomoda or anything like that, so he just went to the nearest jail and said "i did a bad thing! guilty!" and into the slammer? IF WE HAD KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THERE WERE AUTHORITIES ACTIVELY INVESTIGATING, IT WOULD MAKE SENSE. but nah, these writers hate explaining ANYTHING lmao. literally, it went: armando and mario nervous about betty finding out, betty becoming prez, armando and mario trying to hide the evidence with guttierez, betty finding out from hugo, confronting armando, him still not saying what happened, failing to fix it, then JAIL? PLEASEeeeeee

i'm finding that this show doesn't know what to do with betty. like, at all. with a show being named betty la fea, it sure doesn't look like it. poor betty only gets to look sad, or look mad 24/7. or if she's briefly happy, she then immediately has to get sad and/or mad. we get so little precious betty time as it is, i wish they would give her more to do! seeing her confront mario was cool in the previous episodes, betty always had a spine and defended herself, what happened to that! she just stands there silent and lets everyone make false accusations against her then walks away?!

i'm seeing a lot of "hugo is the villain again!!" ummmm??? hugo is the one actually helping the entire staff by letting them know what's going on and demanding justice??? everyone would lose their pensions if it wasn't for him, and if it was the real world, uh YEAH lawsuit bitch!!! after all the abuse they all took from armando, to learn that on top of that he stole their retirement funds? ELECTRIC CHAIR.

mila...sigh. i already said idk what to think of her character, we literally don't know a thing about her, but drinking and driving? gurl. armando is her father after all and we all know how he was about that shit, but damn. dont like that at all. her saying that shit to marcela was so out of line since she herself cried to marce about her being the only one who cares about her or w/e and the minute marce shows some parenting traits and worries over her she flips out and said now i know why my dad left you?! yeeesh. and she's obviously a TERRIBLE judge of character, wtf was there ever to see in ignacio? ewwwwwwww. that whole story line just fucking sucks. i dont care about him, even if they told us ANYTHING of what the fuck is going on with him, i just dont care. he's so boring and one note, if he takes down all of ecomoda with his pinky, i couldn't care less. the hacking stuff is stupid. "hackeado" is funny though lol. oh ALSO about mila, i totally expected betty to run into her at the jail and she bails her out and they have more of a bonding moment but nope!!! fuck any potential bonding moments i guess, or even sharing the screen together. could have been such a good "i always help the people i love even when they're doing something wrong" moment!! like a foreshadow for mila for when she finds betty's diary and finds out the truth (cuz of course she is)! please i beg, a scrap of foreshadowing!!!

patricia is a stepmom!!!!!!!!!! that made me laugh. and they hate her, omg that's so fucking funny. her sleeping with nicolas again tho, i'm half "why?" and half "i get it" cuz he's the only guy that's ever showed real feelings and respect for her, but it just happened so quick and we didnt really see it develop, they just hit it off again after 20 yrs lol? but the whole "secret tapes" montage was pretty good, that was a highlight for me.

quick fire:

armando's lawyer is still fucking pointless, and still throws herself at him for no fucking reason lmao WHY????

the jail scenes suck, antiquated gay jokes and boring jail tropes. i fast forwarded those scenes, NEXT (if I'm wrong and they're worth watching pls let me know!! I saw Freddy was there and the therapy guy or something?? idk I was so checked out at that point) (edit: I rewatched the episode in its entirety, I was right the jail scenes are pointless! he just ends up leaving after like a fucking day!!!!)

so did nicolas stop working at ecomoda when betty left? did patricia barely get her position in the time betty left? marcela just works full time at ecomoda again, since before or after betty left?? hello??

the timeline still makes no sense, mila was gone 5 yrs, the armando marce kiss was 5 yrs ago, but armando was only president for 2 yrs? but betty left armando that night presumedly, so were they separated for that time until marcela waiting 3 yrs to demand betty be removed as president?????

nothing happened plot wise :( armando went to jail, everyone finds out and has a freak out, hacking and Mario was looking for some shit??? site character shenanigans, armando gets out. nothing happened!! two whole episodes wasted 😔 when you only have 10 episodes, everything needs to be important.

fernando gaitan was a fucking magician cuz i could tell you every single plot point of OG BLF without stuttering. the reboot is a mess yall i'm sorry 😞 i really hope it gets better, cuz now we have a confirmed second season?? bro why

why did Betty fall down the stairs like that?? what was the point? will it be relevant later?

also we just haven't had any good patsy pat and Marce moments :(

please let me eat my words and get better for the last 4 episodes!!!! i beg of you

[borathae]

hahah the downfall at the end is so funny to me JFJADJF

[mezmer]

Mention of death toward the end

Lately I've been thinking about how much pain my grandma was in during her last days and how she was opening up for years about the pain she felt, how she felt nobody was respecting her or helping her in her last years, how she felt like everyone hated her cuz that's genuinely how my mom kind of treated her. And I grew up yanno when I was old enough to handle it, with my mom telling me how bad my grandma was. And id ask her what grandma did and one thing that seemed to really bother my mom was my grandma having a breakdown and stabbing the couch with a knife. That's it. And stealing my mom's Ritalin. Idk that's a mentally ill woman. Maybe I feel bad looking at it from the granddaughter's point of view as opposed to a daughter. My grandma had a hard life. She was close to her brothers and lost them both in freak accidents when she was young. Both her parents also in freak accidents, separately. Swear to God. And my grandma had a good handle on life probably 90% of the time. She was a very funny and sweet talkative woman. And I've seen her cry, when I was very young, and it changed me, not in a bad way. My mom has huge resentments yet calls me "little sue", as in, she compares me to my grandma often, and I've gotten similar trwatment. My mom has chilled out a lot about her treatment of me since I moved out though.

Anyway, the point is, I feel that growing up with my mom whispering in my ear that grandma is a miserable woman, dramatic, always complaining, shaped me before I was able to take a step back and reason with those comments fairly. So while my grandma was growing more ill and weak in her last few years, my mom would make comments like "she's being so dramatic, talking about how she's going to die" well yeah. She is. And everyone is acting annoyed by her. Everyone is leaving her to cry instead of listening to her. Well it isn't easy to be there for somebody in that situation, I know.

But one thing my grandma taught me from a. VERY early age. Respect your elders. Respect your grandparents. And she told me that her own grandparents taught her that when she was very young.

I regret not listening to her and sort of gravitating toward whatever it was my mom said to me. But really, I never believed my grandma was being dramatic. I JUST COULDNT comprehend her suffering. Now I do. Now I understand. It was like blank space to me, and I would just avoid it. I never should have avoided it. Her final days, I was there about a month before she passed. Usually a month before old folks will still be lucid. God, she was in so much pain, crying out, still even on very strong opiates. In contrast, my maternal grandma was smiling and talking to me two days before her passing, similar situations and ailments between the two of them.

But lately I have been thinking about it so much. She moved to Michigan toward the end so my aunt could help her. She was living with us a year prior and that's when my mom was just a mess. I can't blame my mom too much, but I know it was wrong. I'm remembering all the YouTube links she was posting on my wall that I wouldn't always watch. Remembering her making a photo of me her profile picture before her last fall. And when she passed, it was her profile picture. My aunt went on and changed it back to a photo of her which I appreciate. It was hard seeing that. And she loved me so much. When I came to see her, she said "Maddie oh Maddie ..." And started to cry. After that, she did not recognize me or interact with me ever again. What I would do to hold her. Why didn't I embrace her and hold her in that moment? Why did I step back and watch? I am sickened by it. I regret it so much

An All-Star Proposal

Greetings my fellow Disventurers, this is ya gurl Vespa back in action with another one-shot.

This one is just something I'd REALLY like to see at the end of All-Stars. I got inspired for this one a while back when I read a fic on Wattpad that had a Jaiden proposal, and I decided to do that but for my favorite ship!

I made it ambiguous who wins, cuz I don't really wanna make any stupid predictions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I dunno if this will ACTUALLY happen, but I think it'd just be an AMAZING way for the season to end. Hope you enjoy!

--

“Well, everyone,” Kristal spoke to the audience, looking proud, “I hope you’ve all enjoyed another incredible season of Disventure Camp!” She high-fived her co-host Oliver, “It’s been a crazy season, but at the end of it all, one champion reigned supreme! And though this story may be over, there will be more Disventure Camp in the future! So keep an eye out, and until then-”

“Wait, Oliver, Kristal!” a voice spoke up from behind them, and both hosts turned around to see Ellie stepping out from the group of the season’s competitors. “Before you sign off…I have something to say.” Everyone put their eyes on Ellie, who gave a determined smile to the two hosts. Oliver and Kristal glanced at each other for a moment, then Oliver nodded to the Minimum Wage Worker, “Go ahead.”

Ellie took a shaky breath, steeling herself for what she was about to say, and walked up to stand between the hosts and the competitors as she began speaking…

“Everyone…I’ve done some things I’m not proud of during my time on this show. I’ve made some mistakes, I’ve fallen in with the wrong crowd, I’ve been a real jerk.” She cringed a little as memories flew through her mind of some of the things she’d done – eliminating Lill and Ashley, break up Tom and Jake, and lash out at Jake in anger in the caves. “That’s why I’ve stepped up to be a better person this season. Did I succeed? Not all of the time…but I hope I showed a better half of me." The contestants – even Jake – all smiled back at the workaholic, letting her know that she’d done well in showing her better side to them, and they knew she was a good person at the end of the day.

“But…I won’t lie to your face and say that everything I did in season one…doesn’t still haunt me.” The redhead involuntarily clenched a fist as her bad memories rushed through her mind. “I still hear what I said to Jake in the caves echoing through my mind. How I said those mean things to him and disregarded his trauma…” She took another breath… “I feel awful about it to this very day.” She quivered as those painful emotions took hold of her. “After I got home from the first season, I felt like I lost everything from it. I’d humiliated and exposed myself on live TV and I thought all of you hated my guts. And I blamed myself for it all. My mind went to a dark place after season one, and…I don’t think I ever could have recovered from that time in my life…” Wiping away some tears that had been misting up her eyes, Ellie brought her gaze upwards and turned to face one certain other competitor…

“…had it not been for someone very, very special to me.”

And with that, everyone’s eyes fell upon Gabby. The nature-loving girl felt her heart skip a beat as she registered that Ellie was talking about her. She gazed at her lover with a look of pure adoration, soothing her heart with her beautiful smile. Ellie stepped towards the brown-haired girl, who approached her in turn. Both girls took hold of one another’s hands, feeling their hearts warm as they gazed into one another’s eyes.

After a moment of quiet, Ellie went on with her speech, keeping her gaze fixed on her beloved…

“Oh, Gabby…I wish I knew what to say to express to you just how thankful I am for everything you’ve done for me. Even when I was in that dark place, you still stood by me. When I didn’t see the light in myself, you showed me that I was still worth something. You didn’t give up on me, ever.” “Of course I didn’t, sweetheart,” Gabby responded tenderly, “You’re still the most important person in my life, and I don’t know where I’d be without you. You deserve someone who cares about you, even if you feel like a failure. That’s what you taught me back in season one.”

For a brief moment, the girls pushed their lips together in a soft, gentle kiss, and everyone behind them cooed at the wonderful sight of two girls expressing their never-ending love and loyalty for one another. “Oh, those two are just the sweetest couple!” sniffled Rosa Maria in tears of pure emotion, wiping tears from her face as Lake patted her back in comfort.

And when they separated, Ellie moved forward in her speech, still keeping her eyes fixed on her lover…

“Now, I don’t know what my future holds. After all it’s been years since season one and a lot has changed in our lives, but something that hasn’t changed is my love for you. In fact, all that’s changed is that I love you more every day.” She closed her eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath. “And I don’t know how I could ever repay you for the support you’ve given me over these past years. I just…love you so much. And I hope you know that, my beautiful Nature Princess.” “Oh, Ellie! I’m just…so…I’m just so happy,” Gabby sniffled, having been brought to tears of pure joy by the loving words her girlfriend was giving her. “I love you so much too, and I hope I’m in your life forever!”

Ellie, holding back tears of her own, let out a little chuckle, “I hope so too…and you know…it’s funny we should both say that…because…” She took in one more deep breath, and, behind her back, she sunk one of her hands into one of her pockets…and now Kristal and Oliver realized what was truly happening here…

“I want to be yours for the rest of my life, Gabby,” Ellie told her lover, “I don’t want anyone else in my life. You are all I have ever wanted or needed. And I hope that until our dying breath…we are always by one another’s sides. All I ask of you now…is this.”

And with that…the ginger-haired girl got down on one knee, and, from behind her back, raised a tiny box which she opened wide to reveal a sparkling star ruby gemstone that sat upon a shining silver ring. The competitors gasped in awe at the sight. They couldn’t believe this was actually happening, here, on the final episode of Disventure Camp All-Stars!

And with that, Ellie gazed at Gabby with the most loving smile she could manage, and simply spoke five simple, but powerful words…

“Gabby, will you marry me?”

No-one else could even say anything before Gabby let out a shriek of pure joy and excitement and tackled the redhead to the ground, crying rivers of tears of happiness and pure adoration. Then, her response came. “YES!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!! Of COURSE I’ll marry you, my sweet, beloved Sunset Angel! I’m so so so happy to have gotten to know you and I wanna be yours for all of time! I promise you I’ll be by your side forever!” She started covering her lover’s face in endless kisses, “I love you so much, Ellie! I love you with everything in my body! I’ll love you until the sun burns out and beyond!” Ellie couldn’t help giggling a little. “G-Gabby, that tickles!” She gently put her hand on her lover’s soft hair as she gazed into her beautiful eyes, “I love you too, my darling Gabby. And I always will until the end of time and beyond.”

Both girls brought one another into another soft, deep and passionate kiss, gently holding one another in a warm embrace as they cuddled on the ground. They didn’t even care who was watching, all they felt was pure joy to finally have their souls bound together forever – this was a truly magical moment, and they felt just so happy to be alive right now.

And after they’d finished their cuddly kiss on the ground, both girls got up, holding one another’s hands. Then, Ellie brought out the star ruby engagement ring she had on hand, and slipped it upon one of Gabby’s fingers – in that moment, her beloved girlfriend had officially become her fiance. They had officially made the promise of having their futures joined as one.

Then, Lake jumped forward and, giddily clapping in excitement, shouted aloud in glee and pride, “Three cheers for Ellie and Gabby!” And with that, every competitor present cheered loudly for the two girls, who held one another and nuzzled their faces together, still crying tears of joy as they silently told one another “I love you” as the shouts of approval rung loud through the hills. “Way to go, you two!” Aiden’s voice rang out behind them. “I’m proud of you, Gabby!” Tom also praised his long-time friend. “I hope you girls have an amazing future ahead of you!” Rosa Maria chirped in excitement. The girls payed them no mind. Nothing and nobody could take their attention off one another. In that moment, all that mattered to them was their lover - and now, they knew that no matter what their future would hold, they'd always have one another.

This was, simply put, the happiest moment of their life.

As the contestants all celebrated the wonderful events that’d happened – the spectacular finale of All-Stars and the engagement of two soulmates – Kristal and Oliver turned to one another happily, applauding the scene that had unfolded before them. “Now that’s what I call an amazing way to end a season!” Kristal cheered, “Not only have we found our All-Star Winner, but now two people have made a promise to be together until the end of time!” “It’s been an incredible experience hosting this season with Kristal for all of you at home,” Oliver told the audience, “And I hope you’ve all enjoyed watching it as much as we have hosting it!” “Thank you all for joining us,” Kristal spoke proudly, “And know that there will be more Disventure Camp coming in the future, and we hope you’re all excited for that!” She put an arm around her shorter co-host, “Until then, I’m Kristal…” “And I’m Oliver!” “And this was…” And with this, both hosts spoke in unision…

“Disventure Camp: All-Stars!”

Meeting Khadija

Another day at the cafeteria was another meeting for the Terrestrial Kids. Normally, they'd had their afterschool meetings at one of the member's houses every 2 weeks, but at school, every day was a perfect day for all of them to have a meeting. Terri and Bailey were chatting, Candy was reading her fantasy novels, and Izzy and Sprite were watching videos together on Izzy's phone.

"So who's going to host the next meeting?" Terri asked. "I wish I could this time around" Bailey responded. "But my brother Jody is bringing his girlfriend Bella over for the night, and I don't wanna ruin his moment." "I wanted to be host sometime.." Sprite added in "but I'm a mermaid, so I literally live underwater. You thought we were gonna have a meeting on the boardwalk?" "Actually, that's not bad!" Izzy told Sprite.

"Bailey!" A starry-eyed Arab girl with caramel skin and a pink hijab waved at Bailey from the opposite side of the cafeteria. "Oh, that's Khadija, she's in my science class." "Well, I'm shocked! You actually got someone who really appreciates you. Aside from us, that is!" Izzy laughed. They always know how much Bailey felt like a misfit amongst her classmates, but Bailey has been gaining a lot of friends after she met Terri, and this one was a notable example.

"Hi! I heard that we got the same lunch period, and I was really shy to meet all of you guys, cuz you're like super cool, and Terri? She is THE superstar of the school!" Khadija began to blush in the presence of the alien. "Wow, thanks! I didn't think I'd have fans here!" Terrina flicked her ponytail back with a warm, sassy smile. Most humans her age were the ones who felt more open towards her instead of fearing her, so naturally, the teenage students were very protective of Terrina. "So, I wanted to join your team. I hope there's still room for more, if that's possible." Khadija asked Bailey. "Well Khadija, I guess we can always use a tech genius like you, if you're up for it." "I accept!" Khadija's eyes were beaming with excitement and sat down with the Terrestrial Kids.

"So I wanted to know about Terri and her kind. Is is true that your marks glow underwater? Do your people feel emotions like anxiety or depression?" Terrina was overwhelmed with many questions but she couldn't help smiling at the human's enthusiasm. "Whoa, whoa! I hate to be that person, but maybe once you join the team, you'll get to ask me all the questions." "Terri, she's only curious, I'm sure there's plenty other students who want to learn about the Jotuzons. Right?" Bailey rubbed Terri's shoulder, while Sprite asked Khadija "So what kind of gadgets have you been building?" "Oh, I built remote control toy cars and robots, and maybe someday, I'll get to be an robotic engineer! But I'm mostly just the head of the School Events Committee." "Wow, so you're the voice of the speaker??" Sprite asked. "Well, most of the time, it's just the Principal, but when it comes to Spirit Week and the Prom, I'm always the one who's planning and making announcements over the speaker. It still hits me that I'm a senior this year!" Khadija was no stranger to proms, she's been handling the job for three years, and she was almost close to finally graduating from Westshore High, albeit not ready to leave the school halls behind.

"Oh, I feel so lucky!" Candy was beaming with joy to have a school leader like Khadija at their team's lunch table. "Do you think you can spill some secrets on the theme for our next pep rally?" "I'm afraid that kind of information remains classified for now, but once you see it, you'll be amazed!" Khadija winked. "Okay, okay, okay! I know I said I wanted to join the team, but also, I'm mostly a very secretive person. I'm always busy at home working on my gadgets, so maybe I can be your little 'mission control' if you want!" Khadija smirked. "I don't see why not, you'd be great!" Bailey agreed with her classmate. "Sweet. Here's my phone number, in case you want to contact me. See you tomorrow!" Khadija waved goodbye to Bailey and went back to her usual table.

"Wow, I didn't know I was famous." Terri giggled. "Terrina. You're an alien, of course everyone's gonna recognize you." Bailey pointed out to her girlfriend. "So how does this work? Is Khadija gonna be like a honorary party member?" Izzy asked Bailey. "I guess she said she wanted to help if we needed gadgets, so I think she wants to help us." "Well I love that there are other people who want to help us, I mean we're not gonna do all this Jotuzon stuff by ourselves." Izzy snarked with Bailey. "Yeah, it always helps to have allies on our side."

Rosemary

there's no sound but the engines drone our minds set free to roam. [ao3 link]

based on this post. tw for ableism & ableist language, misogyny, and cheating.

God, this fair is so disgusting.

He never went to the Tulsa county fair literally ever and for good reason. The only people that hung around were annoying ass kids, crackheads, and beer slingers who had nothing else better to do. He could be at Randy’s house or something. Or pretending he missed Cherry and begging her to come back.

Bob never did anything bad to her, why was she so mad? Just cause I called Marcia ugly? She is! If she just stopped fuckin’ eating, maybe she’d score-

“Bob, I’m bored.”

The arm candy he brought along for the evening, Sylvia? He thought her name was, complained. “Let’s just go home.”

“Who the fuck are you telling me what to do?”

He asked incredulously, almost offended that she would dare suggest he do something. She wasn’t even his girlfriend. And in spite, he responded. “I’m staying. If you wanna go, you go. I ain’t done yet.”

Sylvia just gave an annoyed eye roll. This was gonna be a long night.

They were almost to the top of the ferris wheel. Sylvia wanted to get on, and because Bob was on his second beer for the night he was more easygoing. Both with his personality and his wallet.

The wheel stopped, and Bob just leaned back in his seat. Sylvia leaned on him, and he felt disgusted. He shrugged her off.

“Hey I ain’t your boyfriend. Find somebody else to pimp out.” He could’ve slept with her if he wanted to. He was free. But the soc kinda knew Sylvia’s reputation. And would rather keep himself from catching any fleas she might have.

“I have a boyfriend already.” She mumbled, staring at the stars. Almost looking sad. Did she still like him? It just made Bob even more grossed out. 

“If you do, why’re you coming to me?” He fished around for his cigs. Marlboro Reds. The only ones his grandma’s willing to get him. ‘Classy’ she called ‘em.

“Cuz he’s in the cooler, and I’m bored.” She just sighed, leaning on her hand. “And I’m kinda tired of him. He hates me too.” She kicked her feet back in forth.

“Oh?” He gave one of his evil grins, lighting one of his cigs. “What you do now?” Now Bob was interested. He rarely heard these broads talk about their relationships because it’s just annoying but this one? A guy that’s still in jail and he has his girl?

“He told me once. He’s crazy. Takes all these meds for it, I think he’s a junkie. Can never get his shit together. Anyway he started talking about these things he’s been hearing in his head like voices and shit.” She reached for a cigarette and Bob only let her because he wanted to hear the rest of the story. “And I told him he was crazy, ya know? I mean he is if he hears voices all the time. He asked me if I loved him and I said no, I don’t. Don’t want you to kill me. I didn’t know I was dating a psycho.” 

Man, she was mean. And Bob thought he had the title of biggest asshole in Tulsa. Sure he definitely said something like that once, but that was a while ago. 

“What, you think he’s gonna strangle you in your sleep cuz the voices tell him to?” Bob shrugged, blowing smoke up towards the stars. “I’m glad I don’t gotta deal with that shit. I don’t hang out with freaks.”

“Yeah. He gets all excited sometimes and it’s the only time he gets happy. But he stopped. Apparently I found out that’s cuz he’s on drugs for it.” She kicked her feet back and forth, lighting her own stick. “So one time it went missing. He was digging around for it everywhere and turned it upside down. Thought the cops got to him and took it away.”

The light of the cigarette lit up the small booth they were in. Bob took his lighter away. “He end up finding it?”

“Nah. I flushed it down the toilet.” Sylvia leaned back, as if she was gonna fall asleep any moment. “I told him later. He got all quiet like I told him his family died. And he wouldn’t talk to me for a week.” She shrugged. “Thought it would make him happy again. And it did. He was so happy it landed him in the cooler.” 

Bob was starting to think ‘happy’ wasn’t what he thought it was. But he just readjusted in his seat so he could look down, wondering when the wheel would turn already. It’s like they want him stuck here.

“You’re a mean bitch, you know that? No wonder he hates you.” He started snickering, seeing her wince at his words. Was he starting to feel… Bad? Angry? No… Randy would call it ‘pity’. Like when he sees little greasers alone on the streets. “Bet nobody else likes being around you. Is that why you’re with me?”

She shrugged again, trying to not let his words get to her. But it failed with how much her leg was shaking. “Just thought it was funny.”

“Uh huh.” He snubbed out his cig when the wheel jumped to life. “Take a guy’s meds and he’s got nothing. Cheat on him and he’s got no one. He ain’t happy. He’s in pain.” He snorted. “Thought you would be smart enough to know that. But turns out I was right. You’re dumber than you look.”

Sylvia doesn’t answer. It’s obvious she didn’t anticipate Bob telling her off. She probably thought he’d laugh along with her, or think she’s all that. But if Bob thought about flushing down Randy’s epilepsy meds, just to see him go in a seizure because it’s ‘funny’. That’s one level of comically evil behavior that he isn’t sure he’ll ever reach.

They landed on the ground, and Sylvia wasn’t holding onto his arm anymore. Bob’s attention went to some huge rabbit some kid got from a prize, and when he looked back she was gone.

He drove home alone that day. Wasn’t in the mood to roam the streets with his buddies or drink himself into a stupor, though he did have one more beer back there. He just thought about that poor junkie Sylvia was banging on the side. If she's that bad while he was behind bars, what's he gonna do when he gets out? He wouldn't be surprised  if she ended up in the newspaper murdered. She's got it coming, that's for damn sure. I know I woulda if I found out 'bout half the things she's been saying about me.

And Bob was right. Not about being murdered, but about everything else. Dallas and her got into an ugly fight when he found out she’s been fuckin’ other dudes behind his back. To the point he was found sobbing by Two-Bit in his room after he refused to leave for hours. 

Either way. He got a lot more stories to tell to his buddies.

[saltynsassy31]

Oh my god so true

I mean, I can't speak for the second movie because I am a huge cry baby and cannot handle it lmao (love it, just sad). But I have recently rewatched the first movie, watched riders of berk twice, and finished watching rtte after putting it on hold for....years- and all because my dad wanted to finally watch the third movie with us and it sprung us back into httyd

But oh my GODS! No, like, seriously.

For context, I hadn't touched any httyd content for about 4 years till last month, when my dad asked if we wanted to finally watch the third movie together. By then, I had never watched it before cuz, well, life. So I agreed! Cuz I was curious, even tho I didn't hear stellar things. My opinion before I watched was "it's not good, but not bad either."

Then I watched it, and despite having very little memory of the franchise, it just felt wrong. Actually, my dad didn't remember jack shit. He never watched any of the series and even forgot about the second movie existing and thought the third one was the second despite having watched it with us in theaters lmao. And, despite it all, even he thought it was bad saying "didn't they fight for dragon rights or something? Why did they send them away?"

And when I got to watching all the other content for it, I have never wanted to cry more in anger. The need to just claw at the third movie with how it just ruined these perfectly good characters! Snotlout and Ruffnut have become my favourite characters of the main cast (sorry hiccup and toothless), I love them so, so much and it pains me so much to see how much they RUINED them!

Watching rtte has really opened my eye. I found snotlout annoying at first, the twins entertaining but they didn't have as much screen time before (especially in rob), mostly there for the jokes. But in rtte we got to see them grow from the 15 year old kids they were to the 18 year old adults we know and love! The third movie almost resets them back to the first movie and yet somehow makes it worse, too. Its infuriating!

It hurts so much too because I see these characters become strong and compelling and lovable only to get that stripped away in a matter of seconds!

Ruffnut and Tuffnut play off of each other well. I especially loved the episode where their cousin showed up and you can see how much Ruffnut is protective of Tuffnut, how much she cares for him. Or how when Ruffnut was having a "crush", after realising he was coming between her and a potentially good future, Tuffnut decided to take himself off of the picture to give her that chance because he does love and care for his sister's well being too, only to then be shown how much she loves him and would rather anything else than to not have Tuffnut in her life. Another favourite was the Lycanwing. When Snotlout said "I'd hate to have a sister like you" she jumps and says "no, you'd love to have a sister like me because who else would be going around trying to get all bite marks to possible to help her brother?!" (Paraphrasing cuz I don't fully remember what she said). And all these moments just hit me cuz it reminded me a lot of me and my own twin sister! There's just something different about twin relationships and they pictured that bond well!

Speaking of snotlout.

He truly is a softie on the inside while being tough on the outside. And the more you watch the series, not only do you understand why, but you also get to see him change!

You see how Hiccup and Snotlout's dad fight so much, so many points in the series shows how similar their dynamics are and also how different.

Their parents shows them what their relationship can become, and they actively (if subconsciously) fight against it. Hiccup let's snotlout take the win when he finally had the chance to make him loose because he saw how his father acted towards him, and how he needed that more than Hiccup did because Hiccup has a father who he knows will love him unconditionally while Snotlout doesn't (Riders of Berk, S01 EP12). You see also in rtte how much they have grown closer and how Hiccup starts to respect Snotlout more with time and help him embrace his good parts, he isn't above giving Snotlout genuine compliments and you can see how much Snotlout appreciates them, very deeply, almost like it means more than his father's approval. And in turn, we see how Snotlout worries for Hiccup a LOT in rtte, even of he denies it, and is one of the firsts to search for help when he's in trouble. Snotlout respects Hiccup, or learns to anyway. He complains, a lot, but at the end of the day he trusts him, he trusts his friends and he ends up embracing a lot of things his father would shame him for.

Gods, there was so much the third movie could have done with them. I can't emphasise enough how much watching them get ruined so abhorrently right infront of my eyes hurt me.

The way Tuffnut just, idk, was so rude to Hiccup about his leg? I mean, I get what they were going for, friends often joke with each other about injuries and stuff, they do it in rtte! But the difference is that, one is light hearted, and the other is full on disrespect.

Tuffnut would never say those things to him! He's not THAT dumb or dense.

Ruffnut isn't the smartest, but she wouldn't be dumb enough to have let them follow her! When she got captured in rtte (**I can't remember the exact episode unfortunately, and I'm aware it has happaned more than once lol), she never gave up the information, she stalled and stalled and was smart enough to keep them on the edge of their toes. Sometimes by being annoying? Yes, but as soon as she was let free she was in action and she KNEW how bad the situation was.

She's playful, she likes the chaos, but she is not dumb. A little dense at times, but not dumb.

Rtte managed to show how their "idiocy" actually comes into play a lot in being able to help and outsmart their enemies. They're literally the reason the phrase "expect the unexpected" exist! XD (joking, of course, but I wouldn't be surprised that the in universe explanation of this phrase is because of them lol)

There was literally an episode where Astrid underestimated them and didn't want to work with them because they're "dumb" and have "dumb ideas", but its thanks to their "dumb ideas" that they managed to stall the enemy enough for backup! (As I write this it is now clicking to me that this is the same episode I mentioned above to I'll put a little ** there too).

All in all, they're great characters that could have done so much more than to just be comedic relief. Snotlout wouldn't be dismissing Hiccup so much and he'd have the sense not to flirt with his best friend's MOTHER who just LOST HER HUSBAND NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO! And they could have done so much more, like showed how he's good at taking charge but not as a leader. Again, there was a whole episode about that! How he felt useless but was showed how he's a valued member of the team. If you want jokes, he's got plenty that doesn't involve being a flirty jerk! Like how he complains about Hiccup's plan always involving an impossibly dangerous solution, but goes with it anyway. His relationship with his dragon, ya know, the WHOLE POINT OF THE MOVIES!?!? THE DRAGONS!?!?! They all honestly felt way too sidelined, the dragons have personalities too! They're dynamic is such a fun one, a dragon who doesn't listen to his master and a master who's always nagging at him, but when one or the other is in trouble, they go on full on meltdowns until they know for a fact the other is safe. Both would run to Hiccup and yell and scold at him for help until the other got saved, could have been fun to see in the movie! (Tho I guess it would emphasise how DUMB the dragons leaving was even more than before)

Or Ruffnut and Tuffnut. Ruffnut being captured could have actually helped! She probably would have known she was being followed and would have led them into a confusing loop until she found a way to call up Hiccup and warned him, or if you're going for the sometimes dumb accidents, she does go back knowing she's being followed, but she trusts Hiccup enough that he'll fix everything, like always XD.

We could still have Tuffnut trying to help Hiccup propose to Astrid in dumb ways, just without the ableist jokes....and maybe like, not forgetting their whole history together? Like, the series aside, he acts as if him and Astrid only started to date like, a couple of months ago and not for like, for 3-6 years now XD.

But this is just me spitbawlimg ideas! There's probably 100 other better ideas people have already suggested. But man is it still disappointing.

...

Okay

This got SUPER long I'm so sorry. I just love these characters so much I get a little passionate, feel free to ignore 😭✋

No characters have ever been mischaracterised more than Ruffnut and Snotlout in their own piece of media

Listie says something about every movie she added to her spreadsheet in August 2023

So, like, as only the second entry in this series, and from such a new account on top of that, I doubt anyone's really wondering why it took so long for this to come out. And, well, the answer is really short and simple—I took my advice from the first entry and got a Letterboxd account.

I guess I'll be posting all of my thoughts about the new films I add to my spreadsheet there, then. But since I already had a majority of this post typed up, I may as well go ahead and finish it off. Send it off proper, y'know?

Transformers (2007)

Date watched: 2023-08-02

And here's me continuing to watch the Transformers movies after seeing the original 80's film back in July. 'Cuz, I mean, with how far removed that one is from the rest of the films...

But anyway, Michael Bay's Transformers! It's honestly not as bad as the Bay hate train I was on in, like, 2017 made it seem. Like, I still think the design of the Transformers is a little too complicated, but whatever. I got used to it.

In hindsight, Bumblebee pissing on a guy isn't even in the top 10 dumbest moments in this series. "I ate the whole plate" still remains an iconic moment, though—thanks, Lindsay.

Cocktail (1988)

Date watched: 2023-08-04

Patrick (H) Wilson said in his Letterboxd review of the film that it takes a turn the moment it gets to Jamaica. I think it turns a little earlier than that, 'cuz lemme tell you, the slight whiplash I had going from a dramatic scene to the opening bars of gawddamn "Kokomo"...!

I'unno, it's just damn something to me to see the dramatic beats in this movie and consider that I knew it best for launching songs like "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

Hardcore Henry (2015)

Date watched: 2023-08-07

See, this is a film I actually already had on my spreadsheet, but not the part that counts. So here it is now.

I get why people don't like this film. I do, honestly. But, gawd, to me, it's just fun. Dumb, fun and damn unique. I ain't never seen another movie like this—and maybe that's a good thing, 'cuz if I had motion sickness it would've taken me way longer to watch this thing with all the breaks I would've need to take, I swear.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen (2009)

Date watched: 2023-08-07

This is one of the three Transformers movies I saw in theaters back when they came out, and literally the only things I remembered about this movie before watching it again were Megan Fox's boobs bouncing in slow motion in the climax and the line "I AM DIRECTLY BENEATH THE ENEMY SCROTUM." And, I mean, there was other stuff, too, but I honestly thought a lot of it happened in the next one, like the panty shot of that one girl who turns out to be a Decepticon.

And it's funny that those are among the only things I remembered this movie, 'cuz I did not have as much horny brain back then as I do now, so for those to be the things that stuck out in my mind...

Oh, and of course Megan Fox on the bike—which I thought was how she was introduced last movie, so maybe these movies jus' all kinda blend together for me.

Any case, it's not the worst thing, either. A step down from the first, sure, but compared to how things are gonna go, this is like a stairstep compared to going off a cliff.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)

Date watched: 2023-08-09

It's a good flick, but if this is really how the teens of today talk, then, gawd, I already felt a million years older than the current generation, so this doesn't help at all.

But at least I got to experience to rush of hearing SLACKCiRCUS's cover of "What's Up?" playing on the big screen in a room full of people who haven't spent as much time online as I have. That was damn magical, right there.

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon (2011)

Date watched: 2023-08-10

Before this movie, everything I thought I remembered about this movie was from the previous movie, like the ass/panty shot to introduce the replacement for Megan Fox. And after watching this movie, realizing that this is where that happens is really the only thing I gained.

Well, I did get to see Optimus Prime merciless kill Leonard Nimoy-bot begging for his life. That was funny.

Phineas And Ferb The Movie: Candace Against The Universe (2020)

Date watched: 2023-08-11

It took me so long to watch this movie because I didn't wanna watch it until after I finished Milo Murphy's Law, which I didn't wanna watch until I finished Phineas And Ferb, which only took me so damn long to finish because I was lazy, and then when I did finish Milo Murphy's Law it took me so long to watch this because by that point it was Fall and I didn't wanna watch this until it was Summer again, and so here I watched it exactly one year after I watched Phineas And Ferb The Movie: Across The 2nd Dimension.

And all that run-on sentence just to say, "Damn, they still got it. And it's jus' damn fun to see these characters again, too."

Also, I don't know how much I entirely buy the head canon I saw that Vanessa is a lesbian, but I like the idea, so I'll accept it anyway.

Transformers: Age Of Extinction (2014)

Date watched: 2023-08-13

I remember when I saw this movie in theaters with my family, I was joking with some stranger beforehand that this was gonna be the start of the "Mark Wahlberg trilogy" after the Shia LeBouf one had come to its end.

Imagine my surprise, then, when the movie ends how it does.

Also, RIP T.J. Miller, and heck on that one "Romeo & Juliet law" guy. I can't believe I had to look up Texas state penal code. Gawddamn.

Dreamgirls (2006)

Date watched: 2023-08-16

I came from Eddie Murphy, stayed because it was real good, and spent a lot of time in-between stuck on the thought that we're supposed to think that Beyoncé isn't a good singer.

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

Date watched: 2023-08-17

I don't like to get mad at movies, 'cuz I'm still real regretful of the days when Douglas "Funnyman" Walker was the single biggest influence on how I discussed film, but, gawd, this one jus' kind of overwhelmed me with nonsense to the point where I did.

Remember way back at the top, when I said that Bumblebee pissing on a guy wouldn't even be in the top 10 dumbest moments? I think this movie contains most of them, if not all ten. I mean, this is a movie that starts with drunk Merlin and digs deeper rapidly from there.

Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)

Date watched: 2023-08-18

I watched this ahead of the podcast Escape From Vault Disney, so allow me to present my answer for the "what's the attraction?" segment.

As a new method of transport, one of the Disney parks is gonna install a huge bubble machine, where you can hop in and get blown around to a different land at random. And there's only a 10% chance you'll get dropped in a bowl of chip dip and hafta avoid getting vored by giant teen-age girls.

Alternatively, the damn tiki statue gets installed looming over the castle like it's Chicken Little.

Bumblebee (2018)

Date watched: 2023-08-21

Honestly, the best Transformers movie. And I'm not just saying that because it references ALF twice. It's very charming, not even despite, but because it's a largely cliché take on "kid makes friend with a beast" movies, especially the ones that came out in the 80's.

Like ALF.

Super Mario Bros. (1993)

Date watched: 2023-08-22

Look, as an adaptation of the games, yeah, it's dogshit. But making the near impossible attempt to put that aside, it's not that bad. Not, y'know, great, but I think this film's badness is blown way out of proportion. Even if a lot of it doesn't 100% work, I feel like I gotta give it some credit for trying to put its own cinematic spin on what are pretty non-cinematic games.

And seriously, I was not prepared for when the Twin Towers started decaying.

Sonic The Hedgehog (2020)

Date watched: 2023-08-24

Y'know, I've eaten at Olive Garden before, but it was so long ago that I can't remember how any of it actually tasted. I just remember that the game I was playing on my DS before and afterwards was New Super Mario Bros..

Anyway, this is a movie about the fastest thing alive where he spends, like, a third of the movie's runtime in a truck passenger seat, and also he has the same voice as Dewey Duck. Some people say this is better than Birds Of Prey? Man, it's fine, but calm the hell down.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (2022)

Date watched: 2023-08-25

Yeah, this is the better movie of the two. Since all of the introductions out of the way, it allows for so many more elements of the games to be included, and naturally it makes it feel way more like a Sonic movie than the first's whole "family road trip movie" vibe.

And all the credit to Jim Carrey, really. I wish he'd gotten to wear a fat suit like he wanted, but seriously, if you were gonna have anybody playing against anthropomorphic cartoon animals, you may as well get one of the most cartoonish men alive. Even if I did end up variously hearing a lot of Count Olaf or The Grinch in his performance.

Anyway, see y'all in Sonic The Hedgehog 3 when we finally get to see the big screen debut of what is clearly and obviously Sonic.EXE~.

Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts (2023)

Date watched: 2023-08-25

A preface: during the scene before the credits rolled, I came up with two jokes I wanted to say to my friends to refer to the "secret military force" or whatever that was being talked about. I decided to go with the second and say "G.U.N" since it was a runner for me that the film that the main character and his little brother would refer to themselves as Sonic and Tails.

Now, look, up until this movie's climax, I was willing to call it the second best of the modern Transformers films. Yes, even with the presence of Pete Davidson, and with how most of the Maximals end up superfluous, and with how the villains turn into absolute cardboard during the climax, which just largely consists of CGi flopping around on a dull, grey landscape. I liked the first two acts a lot, and I felt the material there was a lot stronger than a lot of the Bay films.

But then imagine how much worse this movie got for me when it turned out the first joke I thought of that I didn't go with because I thought it'd be too obvious turned out to be true and that it was actually G.I. Joe.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

Date watched: 2023-08-26

Sure, it might be Illumination's best movie, but for me it still just largely amounts to someone jangling a keyring of Mario-branded baubles in my face for 90 minutes.

Mortal Kombat (1995)

Date watched: 2023-08-28

As I'm writing this, it's been a month since I saw this movie, and I'm only now getting around to writing about it so I can post this. At this point, I don't really remember much about it, which you can also blame on the fact that I was really tired for some reason the first time I sat down to watch it. Seriously, I had to stop and pick it up later, and I have no idea why.

I'll say this much about this movie—I was probably being too hard on it when I watched it. Like, I was stuck on this mentality that, "Oh, this is a famously bad movie. Not as much as its sequel, of course, but it's not good, and I should probably just view it that way." And I regret that. These days I try so hard to has little bias as possible going into movies, so I don't know what I was thinking acting like that.

It's an enjoyable movie. It really is. Whatever it gets wrong about the games, it's not so egregious that it destroys the movie. Honestly, I'd rather it get a couple of things wrong than be so committed to being faithful to the games that it forgets to do anything else all that well. Lookin' at you again, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. So, whatever. I can live with it.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, probably less so, but I'll see what I think if I ever watch it.

And also, of course the soundtrack CD by The Immortals that scores part of this movie is amazing. "OOOOHHH, CHINESE NINJA WARRIOR, SUB-ZEROOOO, WITH YOUR HEART SO COLD....!"

Not on my watch

Dysphoria and stress hitting hard so I made this lol

Tw!: Talk of bodily insecurities and lack of confidence on self image

Imagine being the Creator. Imagine having some bad self confidence on yourself

Always covering up almost completely. Long sleeves, gloves, baggy clothes and pants. Etc

At first your dear acolytes don't think of it much. It's just your style in clothing, why bother?... That is until you start wearing the same type of clothing even in the hottest of weathers. Sumeru's scorching desert or summers in Liyue. The same covered type, it was like you were Begging for a heat stroke!

They get concerned at this. Some asked you about it but for the longest time you kept saying it was just how you like to dress. Finally tho, you reveal the reason why to your most trusted (or your main idk)

“ I just... I just don't like the way my body looks ”

You stammer out in almost a whisper to [character], even avoiding eye contact and fidgeting with your fingers or the fabric of your clothes.

Characters like Ganyu, Yun Jin, and perhaps more would understand and try their best to subtly drop compliments to you in hopes to ease your insecurities. Some characters would suggest thinner but still covering clothes and slowly introduce you to slightly more revealing clothes and such.

" Your Grace!, Let me carry Ya! It's pretty rocky here. Wouldn't want you to trip or fall "

The captain of the Crux, Beidou. Ever so bold and bright spoke up as you and a handful of acolytes are out in the chasm. Accompanying you in seeing the state it's currently un

“ o-oh , it's alright Beidou. I'm quite too heavy- ”

Ok so you TRIED to protest but before you could finish she had already scooped you up in her strong arms bridal style with a big grin on her face. Leaving you flustered red (or gold? Cuz blood-)

" oh? It's not a problem at all your grace!. "

Beidou remarks with a chuckle whilst you were speechless at the way she carries you so easily... In all honesty a warm feeling of joy bloomed in your chest, did you get lighter?. From the sheer amount of festivals and celebrations thrown for your name you were sure you had gained.

" oh Beidou, such a brute! You must be more careful when handling their grace! Here give them to me "

Your thoughts were snapped when your body transferred to another individual carrying your weight in her arms. Yelan

" I do hope you are comfortable like this your grace "

She said with a small smile. You were somewhat lost in her silky voice but hastily looked away. Needless to say Beidou was pouty the whole descent down the chasm, as were some of the acolytes with you at that time.

It felt... Nice to feel weightless at that moment if you were honest. And you knew why they were doing this.

The effort Ganyu was making with how soft she spoke her compliments to you

" you look lovely today, your grace! "

She spoke with a nod and a smile. When you faced her though, she immediately turned away in a flustered mess

" ah! Not that you don't look lovely everyday, your grace! You always look lovely! "

Or

How Venti visits you everyday to make sure you have eaten today, even if you don't feel like eating he will still make sure you eat something, think small snacks or cut fruit! He brings you apples and shares them with you, while you both much away he would strum his lyre singing a song of your great image and how stunning you are. Not just as the creator, but as who you are

" What a beautiful day~ oh how is this so? Surely because it is from how wonderful you are! "

.

If ever there are days when you are the crushing anguish of the hate you have in yourself... The dysphoria too heavy to handle that you don't want to even get up from bed. Just know that they will do everything in their power to make you feel special. Your favorite things? Teyvat's most wealthy bought it and is sending it to you. Need a cuddle buddy? You got it!. Heck even the kids and helping out! They don't understand much about the situation your in, but you bet Klee is making little drawings of you with the other kids. There are scribbled words around the supposed drawing of you ' awzome! ' ' so cool! ' ' their grace is amazig!! '

( they tried ok? )

They will do just about anything to Let you know that you are special to them, no matter how you look ❤️

Wow that was alot lmao- but yeah just some fluffy things cuz I'm not feeling too good at the moment

But if ever you aren't feeling the same I hope you know that you are amazing! Your doing so good and you are loved, however you look or feel or who you are! Keep being you, you awesome human being ❤️❤️.

✿Masterlist✿

Playlist for Eddie here 👇

____________________________

When he looked at your eyes for the first time, Eddie lost interest in blonde girls with big breasts. Now he could only think of your eyes and your small perfect body. He got so lost in the softness of your big bright eyes, the way your hair swayed, and the scent of roses and bergamot in your perfume. In the beginning, it was weird for Eddie, he never crushed so hard for a woman, not even for a female rockstar or a model from his adult magazines. This was different, it was real.

One of the most special memories he had with you was from the week of thanksgiving. He gave a small concert with Corroded Coffin in a bar, and he told you to go with him. Eddie thought you would get bored, you were not the most rock-metal girl in Hawkins. But he was very surprised when he saw you dancing with Jeff’s cousin, watching you dancing to one of his songs was a boost for him to perform it better. After the show, he drove you home, and you told him you were proud of him. That night was the first time he thought about kissing you. Sure Wayne told him good things and made him feel better, but Eddie felt he constantly failed his uncle. So having you healed him, made him want to be better. He even got a C- on the classes he had with you.

So he watched you now, your hair was messy, your green shirt had some blood, and parts of your neck were scratched with dry blood. But thankfully, you didn’t have a big injury like Steve had. And yet to Eddie, you were still perfect, after seeing you fighting with tons of demo bats, he knew you were made for him; a strong, hot, and gorgeous woman.

You could feel his eyes on you, but your attention is on Lucas and Max talking at the end of the RV. You could see that Lucas lightened your red-haired friend. Maybe they were three years younger than you, but it looked like what they had was real love. They were in the phase where they didn’t know what was love for real, and you conclude that is better that way.

Finally, your eyes meet Eddie’s, it feels like he’s appreciating you. So you arch your brow, questioning him.

“What?…” it doesn’t feel like it did some days ago, you can’t hate him. Not when he’s been so protective over you.

“You’re smiling, I haven’t seen your smile in some days” After Max almost died, you valued what you had. A gorgeous guy who hurt you, yeah. But, he wanted to give you a proper explanation and had been so attentive to you in the harshest moments, which you considered the most important moments when validating a friendship.

“Look at them…” you indicated in a low voice, pointing at the young couple with your head. Eddie turns to see them, he doesn’t say anything, but he understands. He saw that with Nancy and Steve back at the lover's lake and the Upside Down. “That’s love…”

You don’t mean to make it awkward again, so you look down at your legs, ending the conversation. You hadn’t been too close to Eddie since everything started, it mostly had been looks that said: be careful, it’s gonna be fine, oh thank god you’re alright.

Maybe the actions had been speaking more. When he grabbed you from falling in the Upside Down after that tremor. Or when he pushed you to prevent more demo bats from scratching and biting your neck.

“I can’t believe you slaughtered that bats while bleeding” he tried to start a conversation again. You raise your head to see him, and your smile, but the thought of your aching neck made you touch it with your fingertips.

“Does it look that bad?” You ask shyly. Eddie gets a little closer, pretending to inspect your damaged area, but instead, he’s looking at your necklace. A gold string with a microscopic ring hanging, pretty, he thought.

“Nuh-uh, you have to take care of it, but… you looked badass right there. I said to Harrington you two had an Ozzy level moment” he feels like he won when he hears you laughing. And he remembers Steve’s words, he said that you were like his little sister, he cared for you a lot, so he made him promise to never hurt you. Eddie was relieved to have Steve on his side when he explained what happened with you two the day that Chrissy died.

“You’re an idiot, Munson” you mutter, still laughing a little at his musical concert references. “Pray I don’t get a disease as Ozzy did, please”

You stop laughing when you hear Steve and Nancy talking, so you guide your eyes and head to them, indicating Eddie to hear. He stays quiet and hears about Harrington's six little nuggets.

He definitely doesn’t want six fetuses, he would go crazy. But he can see you with at least two nuggets. So he can’t blame Steve, he can’t laugh, because he wants the same thing, but with you.

____

“You have to be fucking kidding me” so every girl in Hawkins who was buying guns decided to also take all the black turtleneck shirts, leaving just one extra small.

“You can fit on that, plus, it’ll cover your neck,” Max says, handing it to you. You take it hesitating and grab a pair of military boots.

“At least it’s a cool outfit” Max giggles at your words. She throws a package of little explosives at you, making you frown, but there’s nothing weird with that anymore, since you were preparing to kill a supernatural monster.

“Let’s go, we need more bandages for Steve” the red-haired follows you through the store, grabbing more things around.

“So when are you talking with Eddie?” Her question surprises you, you didn’t think Max would ask you about the topic.

“I don’t know, Why are you asking?” She drags the car across the hall, slowly.

“The poor guy looks so down for you” you smile, feeling blushed. Even when there’s a big crowd in the store, you feel like there’s anyone around, just Max and you.

“Funny, because when we found him in the boathouse, I told him we were never being friends again” Max stops the car. Looking at you with wide eyes.

“Girl, you’ve traumatized him!” You start laughing, and she joins you. Maybe she was right, you weren’t being an easy girl with Eddie. “No, but, you should talk with him. With all that is happening, I wouldn’t want to leave anything on bad terms, especially with someone special to me”

You feel bad for her suddenly, Max was cursed. Her life was in danger, real danger. Of all your girlfriends, Max was the funniest, her dark humor matched yours, and hanging out with her and Steve was one of the best things. You missed her, you missed the Max from 1984. And it saddened you that just when she was becoming herself again, she was at risk of being gone again.

‘I promise you I will talk to him. Just as you are getting out of this…” she stood quiet, so you hugged her, and she accepted the hug. “It’s gonna be fine”

“Hey, we really have to go!” Steve Robin and Erica were waiting for you at the beginning of the hall, looking agitated. Max takes the car and walks at a fast pace to them.

—

Lucas pushes you and Eddie is fast enough to catch you, falling against his chest.

“Sorry pumpkin,” he says in a rush. After encountering Jason and his friends, everyone knew they had to get out of the store.

“Yeah, sure, asswipe” Eddie laughs confused after Steve throws some things at him and helps you seat beside him again.

“What happened?” you sigh, feeling the RV finally moving.

“Jason and his anti-satanic club hunting us” everyone takes a breath after getting into the highway again, you brush your hair, spreading it across your scalp.

“You should have seen, the guy questioned a lot for the blood on her neck” Jason tried to intimidate you, but luckily, Robin saved you. The news caused Eddie to react.

“What? Did he hurt you?” He asks trying to find something in you that could tell him if you were hurt.

“No, I’m fine” you simply say.

“I’m sorry…” he suddenly says, and you frown, confused. He noticed though. “For dragging you into this”

“Hey, I know I said we weren’t going to be friends again, but… What are friends for?” you offer him a sad smile. And Eddie feels a shiver when he sees your face, he can’t let you go.

“We’re talking about it…” his tone is serious, and you feel your heart beat very fast.

“No, please. Not now…” you promised Max you would talk with him, but that wasn’t the moment at all.

“Pumpkin…” he calls your name a few times. But you stand up to go with Erica and Dustin.

Postpone that talk as much as you can, you think to yourself.

It was nice to be able to peacefully breathe, and have a moment to rest. There was nothing around, no traffic, no hysteric people, and no sounds of civilization. You look around, Steve is near counting some bullets with Erica and Lucas, Nancy and Max are seated a little far, then Dustin and Eddie are playing like some idiots.

You remember Robin’s face at the store, she briefly told you what happened with Vicky.

“Hey, Are you, okay?” she stops working and looks at you.

“Yeah, I mean… well, I don’t know” she shrugs and sighs. “It didn’t feel cool to watch her kissing some dude. Not when I thought…”

“…There was a spark in there” you complete for her, and she nods. That was exactly what happened with Eddie and you, but it was worst in your case because it was your best friend. “That’s exactly how I felt when I saw that asshole with Chrissy.”

Robin giggles when you point at Eddie playing with Dustin. “It feels like, all you did, all your feelings were for nothing. You feel like an idiot with yourself”

“That’s exactly how I feel” you place your arm across her shoulder.

“Don’t worry, we’re not even twenty. There’s a whole world outside of Hawkins” she smiles and then looks around too.

“I don’t think your feelings were for nothing…” you look at whatever she’s looking around only to notice Dustin and Eddie looking in your direction. You rapidly hug Robin, hiding your face in her neck.

“Please tell me they stopped looking…” Robin laughs and pats your arm.

“No, but Dustin just kicked Eddie” your heart was beating faster than in the upside down, you want to hide in Robin’s neck forever. “Oh, he’s coming here”

“She doesn’t want to let me go, Munson” it’s the first thing Robin says when he arrives, innocently, trying to have your back. Some seconds of silence, and you know Eddie and Robin are having a battle of killing looks.

“Well, that’s it…” you suddenly feel someone grabbing your waist. And then, Eddie is carrying you over his shoulder.

“Eddie, what the fuck? Put me down!” you can hear Robin laughing loudly. Erica looks confused and Dustin looks happy. The other idiots are not paying attention, thankfully.

“You left me with no choice. We’re talking, right now” finally, he lets you go. You are far from your friends, and the smell of the plants was stronger, it wasn’t bad though.

“Great Eddie. Here I am, ready to pull up a memory I want to sink in the bottom of my heart” he sighs, covers his mouth, and takes some seconds.

“Okay, first of all… I’m sorry for not letting you know I was with Chrissy” you suddenly feel awkward, so you cross your arms over your chest, looking at the grass. “I had the deal with her at school, we talked for some minutes, but she told me she wanted something stronger. So I told her she could come to my place”

“I had any intention with her other than selling her drugs, okay? I thought about driving her to her home and spending the night with you. I wasn’t ditching you…” you hear him, but you focus your attention on the clouds, appearing in pink and orange colors.

“And… you should know that I’ve never had anyone who cared so much for me, not even Wayne. You are the best thing it happened to me, when you walked on your first day of classes, I thought you were the prettiest girl, and then you said you liked me” he smiles at the memory. “I felt so relieved that you accepted me just the way I was”

“Not only you care for me, but for all the kids right here” he points at the guys, and you glance at them “you’re smart, pretty, caring, and so hot. I’m so sorry I said in your face some of it about Chrissy. I think I just wanted to… make you jealous”

“Well, it worked, dickhead” his hands end on your shoulders, and you know it’s time to finally look him in the eyes.

“I know, the thing is… I love you too” nothing in the world could compare to the nervousness you were feeling, how hot your cheeks felt, and how you could even hear your heartbeats “Fuck, I’m not the best with feelings but, I know I love you. I was already attracted to you the moment I saw you, but I really fell in love with you the day you came to the concert. Remember that you told me you were proud of me?”

You nod, smiling. That night was so memorable, and you weren’t lying when you said that to him.

“Yeah? Well, I wanted to kiss you so bad. On all those occasions I’ve called you sweet things or hugged you, kissed your head. All those times I’ve looked like I am at your feet, it was real. Because I am madly in love with you”

When you look at his face again, you burst into tears, his beautiful brown eyes look worried and he carefully wraps you in a hug.

“Oh no, don’t cry. No, I swear it’s real, pumpkin”

“Oh gosh, now I feel like an idiot,” you say hugging him back, crying in his chest. “I’m sorry for being so… harsh. You needed me and I was being stupid. I’m sorry, Eddie”

“Hey, don’t feel sorry. For example, if I had found you with Harrington when we had plans together, I would be pissed, sweetheart” you laugh looking up at him, still in his arms.

“I’m sorry that all of this had to happen to tell how we feel about each other” he nods, he understands. You feel sorry for Chrissy, even if it sounds weird, you feel bad for Jason “But I’m so sorry for you, Eddie. You don’t deserve any of this” his hand reaches your wet cheek, and he smiles.

“Hey, hey, it’s fine. We just have to kill this fucking Vecna and we’re free, and now I know the love of my life also loves me. Everything is fine” you laugh, and you realize he’s right. You can do anything, you can prove his innocence, and fuck it.

“Yes! We’ll get you a fake high school diploma and we’re leaving to California”

It’s been days since you haven’t seen his cute smile, he’s happy, very happy. For some seconds he even forgets they’re not over with the mission, it’s about to start, but now he has you.

“Babe? it could be a little fast but… I want us to get married on the beach” your smile only grows, surprised by his statement. But, if you survive whatever your next encounter with the upside down brings, fuck yeah!, you are marrying Eddie Munson. “What do you say?“

You jump to hug him again. “Yes, yes, yes!” you feel him carrying you again, and then he spins you a couple of times.

“You are the most amazing woman, you know?” You’re laughing, he’s laughing, it’s perfect.

“I love you…” he says once you’re on the ground again. You don’t think you’ll ever love somebody as you love him. Because nobody would fight monsters for you, nobody would risk his life for you as he did.

“I love you too” and finally, he kissed you.

It felt like in those old French movies, the romance, and love. You tug your fingers in his long hair, while one of his hands is on your hip and the other is lovingly caring for your cheek. You can hear Dustin screaming finally, causing you and Eddie to smile in the middle of the kiss.

“I need Steve and Nancy’s blessing…” Eddie rolls his eyes, and follows you, while you hold his hand.

“My parents are together?” Dustin asks as you get closer to them.

“Kinda…” you respond to him. “But we need Steve and Nancy’s blessing”

They finally look at you, Steve’s expression is serious, but then he nods, approving.

“Break her heart and I’ll get you in jail,” he says, making you laugh. Nancy only lifts his finger, also approving.

“Just don’t do things that could traumatize the kids, please” Nancy’s words make Eddie laugh this time. He hugs you from your back.

“Oh no, Wheeler. We’re going to be a couple of responsible parents” Dustin throws a plastic bag to Eddie, laughing.

“Dude, go and help her to get that wound healed” Eddie grabs the bag and drags you inside the RV.

He guides you to the small bathroom, there’s a small sink and shower, and you feel relieved, you needed a shower.

“I’ll wait for you outside, then I can help you with your neck” before he can step away, you grab his jacket.

“Wait. Come with me… we can have five minutes of fun before getting into the monster hunt” he opens his eyes, he wasn’t expecting that insinuation. He wasn’t protesting, you two had been in closer situations, it wouldn’t be weird to show all of your love when you just confessed your feelings.

“Are you sure? Because fuck, I’ve wanted it since I meet you, but…” you take the clean towel you bought and start taking off your shoes.

“I’m getting in the shower. You can just sit and watch…” your flirting tone sends a shiver through his spine. And blood starts rushing through some parts of his body, creating a fire in his stomach.

“Coming!” he says quickly following you.

Next part is smut, pray for me.

[whatever-lmaoo]

I kinda fan girled towards the bottom so there’s probably a good chunk of things that I missed🥹💗

#“with every thought of his life being at risk and that even though he was no longer yours, you might never see him again. “ I call that a double whammy 😞

#“the fact that he hadn't even given you the chance to be there for him stinging almost as much as him abandoning what you knew, or thought, you had.” That’s what I’m sayingggg like all you had to do was tell me so I could be there to support you through it😣

#“that your love for him simply wasn’t enough for him to want to hold onto while he was deployed,” literallyyy like damn didn’t realize being in love was a distraction instead of something that makes you look forward to coming home✋🏾😭

#This part is definitely giving “you were meant for me”🥹

#“You ate because you had to, but food tasted bleak and flavourless,” this is giving the beginning of Coraline with how dull and bland everything is, I imagine that it’s either raining or the clouds are so dark that it seems like the sky might cry with us at any moment

#“pausing almost anything in favour of stealing a piece of each other.” Oh he stole somethin alright 😤☹️right now he doesn’t deserve our tears girlie🥺

#“only to have it all come back the moment you got in your car and started your drive home,” this is probably going to sound weird but do you ever read or listen to something and associate that piece of content with color🥹 you definitely nailed the atmosphere because I picture every scene with a blueish grey hue casting over it

#“you felt bad that he probably felt obligated to talk to you.” I hate when people feel like they have to talk to me(although it’s more psychologically bc they don’t actually feel that way, I just assume it😭)

#“You look like shit.” I’d probably bust out laughing cuz it’s so true😭

#“Here and there. Not much of both if I’m honest.” We’re more alike than Will thinks🤞🏾

#“You gave a weak smile. “I couldn’t if I wanted to.” The sad truth😔

#Ma’ammm having Will’s voice count down to us was so dhjdhhdkkdn bringing it back to part 5 I see🥹🥺

#“What the fuck does that mean?” What do you think it means dodo, come on Will you are not ignorant 😭

#“he wanted Will to be honest, he would have to be too.” We appreciate honesty in this house🙌🏾

#“I can’t believe I did this to her,” that’s what I said

#“I wish she didn’t. She deserves better, not this shit…” we do deserve better and you can give us better as long as you put the work into it bubs

#“unable to know what the cause was so you could try to rectify it and simply get closure as to why it ended,” exactly what I said last part😭 like Willlll, I love you but goddamn are you frustrating me 😭

#“but in your head all you could think was how he wasn’t Will.” Quite the opposite actually😂 I see youuuuu, did you do that on purpose 🤭👀

#“a deep, smooth voice purred behind you” laurieeeee you can not do this to me, might fall for mystery man🥵

#“His eyes were even more alluring up close, and his crooked smirk was equally charming as it was sexy, the dark scruff around his mouth complimenting his olive complexion.” WHY ARE YOU DESCRIBING MY TYPE🙉 this is not okay, I’m gonna ignore the temptation and hold out for you Will😩

#“he pulled out a chair from the empty table beside yours and took a seat.” I can’t lie, I’m liking this man’s confidence 😂

#“You felt like crying, feeling a sense of guilt and anxiety bubble up in you, like you were betraying Will” aww🥺

#“your temper short and your patience gone,” like I said one in the same 🥹

#“drawing attention over to you by prying, judging eyes.” They never seen a girl pissed off before 🤨

#“as his brother I kinda always have to have his back, but it doesn't mean I’m on his side.” I love that so much🥹

#I love that despite our rusty relationship with Will we still connect with Benny on some level 🥰

#“not seeing a sweet message from Will like you used to whenever he wasn’t with you, and still holding hope that whenever it did buzz with a text, it would be Benny saying Will was back.” This would drive me insane 😭

#“nestling yourself under the covers on the side that Will used to occupy,” stop it🥺

#“How could it be so wrong to go back to a time when a version of you didn't haunt his dreams,” y’all already know why this is here😩😍🥺

#“thinking how you would give it all up in a heartbeat so Will could be happy and live a life with all of his worries put at ease even if it meant you couldn’t be a part of it.” I refuse to cry😭 Will I need you to fix this mess now, I can’t take it😭

#“You figured you were the last person he would want to see anyway,” throughout this scene I was imagining space cowboy playing in the back

#I knew itttttt!!! I was thinking he’d call us instead but this is even better😍 I think it was the perfect reunion for us, (is there still a small part of me that’s like mmmm, yes but it’s that type of feeling where you want him to know that you love and forgive him, and you also love yourself enough to not go through that a second time🥹I have a feeling we’re going to get something similar to this in their conversation, most likely in the next chapter, and I can’t wait!!) we’ve already been through so much separately, we know that Will is trying his best, and he’s also just getting back from a war, so I think them embracing each other’s presence and letting their strong connection do the speaking for them was such a great decision!!!

#“Breathe,” I see what you did there🫢

#“Will closed his eyes and fell asleep, his mind and body finding a peace he didn’t think he would ever have again.” You already know djfniffkfkfkfnfif🥺😩💗

#Okay let’s talk about it🥂(I feel like I’m on a podcast) another decision that I think made this reunion all the more special was how you revisited this idea that they communicate with their bodies. It’s something that’s unique to them. Most people would use their words and tone to convey how they’re feeling, but with them it’s easier to hone in on what the other person is thinking through physical contact. They can feel that there’s a change in the relationship with how they’re relearning the others body, however, they can also tell that there’s an unspoken forgiveness that out weighs any negative feelings because of the sheer intensity, passion, neediness and overall love that is being poured into this intimate moment between them. I was going to use some quotes from other parts, but I don’t want to risk turning this into a jumbled mess😂 I feel very passionate about this theory as you can tell and I just wanted you to know that I caught on to the way you insert this concept into almost every part🥰 I love and admire all of your choices because they all mean something to this story!!! You did a phenomenal job with this one Ms.Laurie🥹🌸✨

*I had an after thought: ^This concept is also a great example for any writers who struggle with dialogue but still want to show a strong bond between their characters!! And it doesn’t necessarily have to be a sex scene, it can be continuing to let them go through a routine with you, after a heated argument or something else that causes tension, like rubbing your back with lotion after a shower or cuddling up with each other during a movie despite what they may feel towards their partner in that moment. let me stop rambling 😭 anyways once again I think you outdid yourself with this one Laurie💖💖*

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6

---

You felt numb as much as you felt angry, scared and heartbroken.

It was all still so surreal, having to remind yourself constantly that Will broke up with you and was gone, the persistent sick feeling in your stomach growing with every thought of his life being at risk and that even though he was no longer yours, you might never see him again.

You did everything you could to understand his side of things, but with that your frustration increased wildly, the fact that he hadn't even given you the chance to be there for him stinging almost as much as him abandoning what you knew, or thought, you had.

Did he really believe you wouldn’t support him, that you didn’t care enough about him to give him space and time while he dealt with all the things he needed to, that your love for him simply wasn’t enough for him to want to hold onto while he was deployed, that everything you thought you had been building was broken and false?

The toaster popped, shooting your slice of bread out, making you jump after forgetting you were even waiting for it.

You ate because you had to, but food tasted bleak and flavourless, and everything that landed in your stomach felt like it sat there and made your nausea even worse.

You had made a whole lasagna earlier just because, giving you something to do for the better part of an hour, but the thought of eating it was so unappealing and you had the idea that maybe you would drop it off for Benny. Taking a bite out of the plain piece of toast, you thought how awful it might feel to go over to the Miller’s house right now, and decided against it, opting to freeze the lasagna for another time instead.

Another bite and the toast was in the trash, and you stood in the middle of your kitchen unmoving, not sure what to do with yourself next.

You hadn’t slept, and whether it was fatigue or just your grief pummeling you, you broke down and sobbed, your body shaking as the memory of Will holding you in his arms in this very spot flooded you, dancing one night while in the middle of cleaning up dinner, pausing almost anything in favour of stealing a piece of each other.

Work was a welcomed distraction, forcing you to go through the motions and function like everything was normal, able to allow you to bury your emotions for the course of a shift and nearly forget about what had happened, only to have it all come back the moment you got in your car and started your drive home, knowing you had nothing to look forward to.

You hadn’t been back to the gym since the day you saw both brothers there all beat up from their brawl with each other, your body too exhausted and weak to even consider working out, but as you sat at your kitchen table with nothing else to do, you went and changed into your gym clothes and drove over.

It was busy enough, observing the evening crowd enough to keep you entertained as you walked on the Stair Master, each step automatic and absent-minded.

Through a few people and machines you spotted Benny, resting on a bench between sets of chest presses, his smile and slightly awkward wave making you feel equally so, and as he stood and started weaving his way over to you, you felt bad that he probably felt obligated to talk to you.

You stopped the machine and stepped down, grabbing your things in the assumption you would probably feel like leaving after this conversation, your water bottle shaking in your hand that trembled with nerves and adrenaline.

“Hey,” Benny said, somewhat hesitantly.

“Hey, Benny,” you answered, smoothing your hand over your sweaty hair.

“How’re you doing?”

You sighed, looking down at the floor as you shook your head. “Do you want the fake answer or the honest one?”

Benny huffed a laugh in understanding. “You look like shit.”

You laughed out of disbelief, bringing yourself to look at him as he scratched his head and tried to recover.

“I mean- fuck.”

“No, I look like shit. Feel like it too,” you confirmed, reassuring his observations.

“Are you looking after yourself?” he asked, his face full of concern.

You shrugged, “As much as I can, I guess.”

He nodded, sympathetic to your feelings. “Are you eating? Sleeping?”

“Here and there. Not much of both if I’m honest.”

“Yeah, I get it. Just do your best even though it’s hard.”

You hummed. “Does it get any easier?”

He tilted his head a bit. “Does what get easier?”

“The worry, the waiting…”

“Oh, uh…” he pulled his ball cap up off his head, smoothed his hair back and placed it back on again, this time backwards. “Yeah, I guess we all just get used to it in a way. But I’d be lying if I said that everyday you’re half expecting to get that phone call…”

He saw the tears in your eyes well to the surface, and unlike most times, Benny felt a bit speechless.

“I can’t stop thinking about him,” you admitted, your words not even directed at Benny, but rather said aloud simply because you couldn’t keep them in.

“Ugh, I’m sorry,” you went on, wiping your eyes and shaking your head like it would suddenly shake away your feelings. “I’m gonna get going, see you later.”

“Yeah, of course,” Benny responded, his voice soft. “Hey,” he called after you, making you pause and turn half-way to face him.

“Just don’t give up on him yet.”

You gave a weak smile. “I couldn’t if I wanted to.”

You made it to your car before you really fell apart, the tears coming down your face so hot and fast you could barely see to unlock the door, and when you flopped down into the seat, you rested your head against the steering wheel and wept.

The most overwhelming sense of panic came over you, taking control over everything and trapping you in it, your mind racing with every horrible thought imaginable, and before you could realize, your breathing had turned short and gasping, your mouth desperately trying to suck in air between sobs.

Your hands wrapped around yourself, squeezing you tighter than the grip of the anxiety attack was, feeling your whole body shaking and trembling and all you wanted to do was scream.

That was when Will’s soothing voice popped in your head, urging you to focus on your breaths and count each one, the sound of the numbers in his even tone allowing you to stop the panic, and you began counting out loud until your breathing eventually leveled out.

How could the same person who was the reason you were feeling this way manage to help calm you, you thought, exhaling slowly as everything around you started to come into focus again.

You ran your hands over your face, your body still shaking with each inhalation though they had become more regular, knowing that as much as you were hurt and betrayed, you still loved Will more than you could imagine loving anything.

Benny’s phone rang not thirty seconds after he’d just hung up, Will’s number lighting up his screen suspiciously close to him ending his conversation with Tom.

He pressed the green button to answer it, and before he could even get out a ‘hey’, Will’s voice stopped him.

“Are you checking up on me?”

“Uhh-”

“I heard Redfly talking to you, idiot.”

Benny scratched his head, trying to gauge which way this was about to go.

“If you’re wondering how I am, just ask me, Ben.”

“Yeah, well, sometimes that’s easier said than done,” he quipped, recalling how many forced conversations they’d had lately where Will gave short, vague answers to everything.

“What the fuck does that mean?”

Benny sighed, lifting his arm up in exasperation before letting it fall and hit his side, “I dunno, man, I just thought I’d get a truthful answer out of Redfly over you. He’s with you every day and can tell how you are.”

He heard Will sigh, and Benny took the pause as a chance to give his brother the opportunity to tell him for himself.

“So, how are you, then?”

Will sighed heavily again. “I don’t fucking know anymore. Okay, I guess?” he said, his uncertainty clear.

“Tom said things are going well with the op, and despite it all you seem like you’ve got your head in the game.”

“Yeah, that’s all fine,” Will explained, like his role as a Captain on this tour was the least of his worries. “It’s everything else…”

“Yeah…” Benny agreed, holding space for Will to continue.

“How’s she doing? Have you seen her?”

“Saw her at the gym yesterday,” Benny said carefully, trying to decide if it would be better or worse to tell him she wasn’t doing well, but ultimately knowing if he wanted Will to be honest, he would have to be too. “She’s not doing good, man.”

Will was silent, making Benny pull the phone away from his ear to check if the call had dropped or not.

“I can’t believe I did this to her,” he said quietly.

“Yeah, well,” Benny said flatly, “What’s done is done, now you just have to focus on finishing this job and getting back home so you can fix it.”

“Do you think there will be anything left to fix?”

Benny blew the air out of his mouth slowly. “That’s up to you two. If you both want it to work out…”

“That’s what I’m worried about. By the time I get back she’ll have moved on and learned to hate me.”

“You don’t know that,” Benny countered. Able to tell the expression that would be on Will’s face right now, he continued. “She still loves you man.”

“I wish she didn’t. She deserves better, not this shit…”

Benny’s heart ached for his brother, hating that he was going through this on top of being back in action, praying his stress didn’t get the better of him or be the cause of any fatal mistakes.

“Listen, man, I gotta go,” Will spoke, his voice weak and quiet.

“Yeah, okay. Be careful out there.”

“Always.”

The beep of the call ending sounded in Benny’s ear before there was even the chance to consider saying anything else, and he hoped Will would hang onto the thought that maybe it wasn’t all lost yet.

Days turned into weeks, but the amount of time that was passing didn’t help to make things feel any better, making you wonder every day if it would ever stop hurting.

Anger grew as you wracked your brain combing through every detail of every conversation and act that could've led to this, wondering where it was that you went wrong, but you still couldn’t pinpoint the moment Will gave up on loving you or what it was that made him peel away. It almost hurt just as much as him being gone did, unable to know what the cause was so you could try to rectify it and simply get closure as to why it ended, your heart like an open wound that would never heal.

You looked at yourself in the mirror one last time before exiting your room, on your way to meet two of your girlfriends for a quiet drink, your attempts to refuse unaccepted.

You couldn’t deny that it would possibly help get your mind off of Will, but you knew it was futile as everything you did and everywhere you went, he was there.

“That guy can’t stop looking over here at you,” Grace said through a grin as she nudged you with her elbow, and you twisted in your chair slightly to follow her gaze.

You took a sip of your wine as you assessed the man with dark brown hair and brown eyes staring directly at you, his smile bright and clean, his lips plump and inviting.

You said nothing as you turned back to your friends, raising your eyebrows as if that was a response that would appease anyone.

“Come on, he’s gorgeous!” Nicole urged, tilting her head indignantly.

“I never said he wasn’t!” you defended, but in your head all you could think was how he wasn’t Will.

“You need a rebound fuck,” Grace suggested, and the thought made your stomach flip.

“I’m not ready for any of that yet,” you admitted, hoping they would understand how raw everything still felt.

“We know,” Nicole sympathized, giving your hand a squeeze as she placed hers overtop, and you knew they would support you in anything whether it was continuing to miss Will with every part of your being or hooking up with the next man who walked by.

“Oh shit, he’s coming over,” Grace blurted, adjusting in her seat as a wide smile appeared on her face.

Your heart plummeted in your gut, and you sighed, praying this wouldn’t be as horribly awkward as you were expecting it to be, trying to find the energy to be kind and cordial despite not wanting to.

“I hope I’m not interrupting,” a deep, smooth voice purred behind you, and you felt the demand of his presence as he stood beside your chair.

His eyes were even more alluring up close, and his crooked smirk was equally charming as it was sexy, the dark scruff around his mouth complimenting his olive complexion.

You swallowed, feeling unable to find words, and with a low chuckle, it prompted him to continue.

“I couldn’t help but want to come over to say hi and introduce myself.” He spoke with such confidence, his voice so seductive. “I’m Cam.”

He held out his hand for you to shake, and you did, feeling your hand tremble slightly before he took it in a firm grip and moved it up and down once on your behalf.

You introduced yourself as well as Nicole and Grace who you wanted to kick under the table for how they were gawking at him, but not as much as you wanted to crawl under it to hide away as he pulled out a chair from the empty table beside yours and took a seat.

“Can I get you ladies another round?”

“Oh, yes please!” the girls chimed, seeming completely enthusiastic about him joining you.

You assessed his hand for any ring as he waved the waitress over, requesting for the same drinks to be brought to the table, feeling relieved there was no band wrapped around his ring finger, but something about him still felt off to you.

He’s not Will, your mind reminded you, and you took a long drink of your wine to try to swallow the sour feeling stirring in your gut.

It was comfortable enough talking to him, even catching yourself laughing at some of the things he said and genuinely having a good time, but every time you felt yourself liking something about him, there was one thing you found you didn’t.

He’s not Will.

You found yourself lost in his chocolate eyes as he spoke to you, imagining instead they were clear blue and held a brightness that reflected the love you had learned to see shine through them, only to be reminded that that wasn’t something that existed for you anymore, and you blinked back to the reality you faced.

“Would it be too forward of me if I asked for your number?” Cam asked, his eyebrows raising on his forehead in a hopeful, but confident expression.

“Hm, yeah, sure,” you replied, picking his phone up from the table that he slid over to you and typed your number into a text message along with your name, sending it to yourself.

“I’ll call you,” he said, standing from his seat where he continued to smile at you.

Your eyes followed him as he walked over to the bar to pay his tab, feeling something stir in you as he looked back over his shoulder at you one last time before he sauntered out of the bar, everything about him charming and gorgeous.

But he wasn’t Will.

“Are you going to go out with him?” Nicole asked excitedly, the looks on both your friend’s faces confusing you like you missed something they hadn’t.

“Umm,” you pondered, trying to wrap your head around the situation, the three glasses of wine making your head feel fuzzy. “I- I don’t know.”

You felt like crying, feeling a sense of guilt and anxiety bubble up in you, like you were betraying Will and being unfaithful despite the reminder that he wasn’t yours slapping you in the face and twisting your heart in your chest.

A few days had passed since your night out with the girls, and as expected, a text from Cam had come through asking to take you for dinner, the invitation sitting ignored and unresponded to in your messages.

Every time you opened your phone to reply, you would see Will’s name a few spots down from Cam’s, the contrast between them and what was past and what was present making you wish more than ever that you could go back in time and try to mend whatever it was that took Will away from you.

You didn't recall ever being so irritable, your temper short and your patience gone, a toss up whether you would scream or cry at the drop of a hat becoming the daily gamble.

The gym didn’t even seem to allay these frustrations, and as you tried to adjust the height of the rack bracket and it got stuck, you felt that blanket of red creeping up through you.

Cursing under your breath, you wiggled the pin again and again, tugging and jostling it to try to get it to move, the clanking of the metal against metal drawing attention over to you by prying, judging eyes.

“Need help?”

You sighed with relief, hearing the familiar voice that belonged to Benny, closing your eyes and counting your breaths as he stepped in and adjusted it for you.

“Thank you,” you muttered, avoiding meeting his eyes as shame washed over you.

“You alright?”

You forced the air out of your lungs again, still not meeting his piercing gaze.

“I'm just so angry and there's nothing I can do about it,” you admitted, your tone defeated.

“I understand that,” Benny drawled, leaning against the squat rack.

You felt him studying you, almost as if he was debating saying something.

“He asks about you every time I talk to him…”

It felt like the wind was knocked right out of you, and somehow you managed to speak.

“He does?”

Your bewilderment seemed to confuse Benny, his face screwed up as he looked at you like it was the most obvious and normal thing.

“Yeah?”

You covered your face with your hands, letting out a growl that did nothing to signify your frustration at the situation.

“I still don’t know what I did wrong. He stopped staying the night and became more and more distant each time I saw him…” You paused briefly, trying to put your thoughts in order. “Then he just stopped altogether and the next time we spoke he ended it, and now you’re saying he asks about me?”

“He didn’t tell you about his nightmare?” Benny asked, his shock blatant.

You shook your head, your brows knitted tightly together. “No?”

Benny sighed and rolled his eyes, shifting on his feet as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Jesus Christ…okay,” he groaned, exasperated by his brother’s ability to consistently make things worse.

You stood there unmoving as Benny explained what had happened, going over all the details Will had told him of his nightmare and his reactions to it, and you felt cold despite having worked up a sweat from what you had done in your routine already.

“I told him he wouldn't actually hurt you but he was so messed up from it. I think it was days before he managed to sleep after that,” Benny said, his tone sad. “I've only seen him that distraught after a nightmare a couple times before.”

“Why wouldn’t he have said anything to me?” you asked, your voice a whisper.

Benny shrugged, “I think he was scared. And then knowing he was leaving on top of it…it was just too much for him.”

You nodded, rubbing your hands on your arms for some sort of comfort, feeling like your heart was breaking all over again, but this time for Will rather than because of him.

“I’m not making excuses for him,” Benny went on, leaning with his arms up on the barbell that hung across the rack. “I don’t agree with what he did, I just know how messy things can get in that head of his, and as his brother I kinda always have to have his back, but it doesn't mean I’m on his side.”

You nodded, at a loss for words as your mind tried to process everything.

It was a helpless feeling, having some sort of understanding now but unable to do anything about it, wondering if you should send Will a message or have Benny pass one along, but all you wanted to tell him was you loved him and that was probably something he didn’t need right now.

“Thanks for telling me,” you said softly, all of your anger replaced with sadness and worry, your heart aching in your chest.

Time continued to pass but did nothing to heal, each day marking another one gone without a word between you and Will, leaving you more unclear than ever at what to do, feeling that if he wanted anything to do with you, he would’ve reached out by now.

Not wanting to put Benny in the middle of it, you never once asked him to interfere or treated him as a messenger, only asking how his brother was doing when he hadn’t told you on his own and thankful that he usually would provide an update anyway knowing you were wondering.

The last time you saw the younger Miller you had dropped off a week’s worth of food, having prepped a variety of high fat and carb meals, helping to get him ready for his upcoming fights in a new weight class.

Cooking for Benny was just the type of distraction you needed, feeling useful and productive and able to put this latent energy into something good for someone else, offering to make his meals for him each week so he didn’t have to worry about his nutrition while focusing on his training.

He had told you as he helped unload all the food from your car that Will was due to return home soon, a matter of days or weeks but there was no exact date yet, and every time you went to the gym or to the grocery store, you braced yourself for a run-in with the man you couldn’t stop thinking about.

You finished washing your face and brushing your teeth, checking your phone one last time before leaving it on your dresser for the night, never getting used to the disappointment you felt at not seeing a sweet message from Will like you used to whenever he wasn’t with you, and still holding hope that whenever it did buzz with a text, it would be Benny saying Will was back.

Your anxiousness was getting the better of you, feeling like it was worsening each day to the point you were struggling to sleep even more than what had now become your normal, never resting for more than a couple of hours at a time if you were lucky.

So many things passed through your mind in those hours spent awake, some of which consisted of that outstanding offer for a date with Cam, not declining it yet despite knowing it was something you didn’t want anything to do with. Nicole and Grace would still bring it up whenever you talked but didn’t put any pressure on you, both of them knowing deep down you were happiest with Will, and you weren’t about to jeopardize any remaining chance with him until you knew for sure that there was an absolute finality to your relationship.

Not feeling tired but knowing you needed to try to sleep, you crawled into bed, nestling yourself under the covers on the side that Will used to occupy, closing your eyes in hopes your mind would drum up the memory of his arms wrapped around you.

You knew you shouldn't do it, knowing it wasn't helping you move on and that some might deem it unhealthy, but every time you laid in bed you imagined him with you and it was becoming the only thing that would get you to sleep.

It had been your haven; the warmth of his body and your limbs tired and wonderfully achy from sex providing all the comfort you needed to drift off, both of you usually able to sleep soundly with the exception of Will having the occasional nightmare until his mind plagued him with the one that he couldn’t get past.

How could it be so wrong to go back to a time when a version of you didn't haunt his dreams, when you had brought each other nothing but love and understanding and a sense of safety and security? You kept replaying what Benny had told you about his nightmare over and over, the sense of guilt you had over it working to torture you just as much as the dream tormented Will.

You sighed, squeezing your eyelids tight, doing everything in your power to recall the feel of his lips on your neck, his breath ghosting over your skin as he wished you goodnight, his beard scratching against you in the most addicting way as he tucked his face as close to yours as he could.

Tears started to spring from your eyes the harder you shut them, thinking how you would give it all up in a heartbeat so Will could be happy and live a life with all of his worries put at ease even if it meant you couldn’t be a part of it.

Will picked at the frayed laces on his boot as he listened to the dial tone, one leg bent to rest on his knee while waiting for Benny to pick up, excited to share the news that he was flying home tomorrow and to get an update on Benny’s training, knowing he had been working hard to put on the last few pounds needed to put him in the Light Heavyweight class.

“Sup, bro?” he finally answered, out of breath.

“Hey, Ben. You running?”

“Just in the middle of some light spars. Got my first fight tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?”

“Yeah, buddy!” he hollered, his excitement palpable through the phone.

“That’s awesome, Benny,” Will praised, proud of his brother for reaching his goal.

“How’re you doing?” Benny panted.

“I’m okay,” he paused, planting his foot down so both were on the ground and scratching his head. “Coming in tomorrow.”

“Fuck, seriously?”

“Yeah…”

“Shit. The fight is in Fort Myers, I can’t pick you up, man.”

Will tried his best to disguise his disappointment, his leg bouncing as he tried to level his voice.

“It’s fine, I’ll take a cab or get Redfly to drop me off,” he suggested, knowing he wouldn’t even ask his friend since Tom would be so eager to be reunited with his girls.

Benny sighed, “You sure?”

“Yeah, it’s not a big deal. I’m just sorry I’ll miss that fight.”

“There will be more, don’t worry,” he assured. “Safe flight home, eh?”

“Thanks Benny. Good luck tomorrow. Knock ‘em dead.”

Benny chuckled, “Yeah, I will. See you soon, bro.”

Will ended the call and sat for a minute, the bit of excitement he felt about coming home diminished, feeling a sense of dejection that he officially had no one there for him.

He considered all of his options, the thought of reaching out to you even crossing his mind, but knew that he couldn’t and he would just have to settle for whatever warm welcome the cab driver wouldn’t provide him.

He blew air out of his mouth slowly, starting to feel like he couldn't capture a proper breath, closing his eyes as the sense of self-inflicted and well-deserved dread he was now accustomed to consumed him.

One, two, three…he counted, the numbers switching from the sound of his own voice to yours, repeating them with each breath in and out until he secured a consistent pattern.

Tomorrow.

You knew what it meant without any other context, the single word appearing on your screen from Benny making your heart jump into your throat, and you grabbed the edge of the countertop behind you with shaky hands as you leaned against it.

He had promised to tell you when he knew for sure and here it was, the day you had hoped for for so long, but one you were also terrified for.

Will was coming home.

As a slew of emotions ran through you, it dawned on you that his arrival happened to be on the same day as Benny’s fight, and you wondered if that meant anyone would be there to welcome him home.

You picked up your phone to reply to Benny, thinking of asking him who was planning to pick Will up from base, but as soon as you started typing the message, you hit the arrow to delete it, putting your phone back down on the counter.

It wasn’t your business, you told yourself, fighting every urge to make it yours, the thought of Wil returning home from the hells he faced with no one there for him breaking your heart.

You figured you were the last person he would want to see anyway, and knowing you had the potential to send him even more over the edge made you feel sick, thinking of how much had changed from when you were the one who used to bring him peace.

The flight was long, and it felt like every muscle in Will’s body ached as he walked off the plane and waited to board the bus that would bring them to the base station, feeling so close but still so far from being home.

There was continuous chatter around him, the excitement of all the soldiers about reuniting with their loved ones making Will feel happy and sad at the same time, and he did his best to seem enthused when asked if he was looking forward to going home.

He checked his phone more times than he needed to, having sent Benny a text that he had landed to which he responded with a thumbs up emoji, part of him hoping that there would be something from you, only to remember he didn’t deserve any grace for his actions.

He was getting everything he deserved, he thought as he pressed his head back against the headrest after sitting down, sighing out slowly while closing his eyes, finding it amusing that being alone was something he was both looking forward to and completely dreading.

It wasn’t long before the bus arrived at base, and Will remained in his seat until everyone else had gotten off, not wanting his fellow troops who were so eager to hold their loved ones to be held up by him who was only going to wait for a fucking cab.

He slung his bag over his shoulder and made his way through people hugging, a weak smile forming on his lips in seeing one of his friends holding his newborn baby, and not far off did he watch Tom embrace both of his daughter’s in his arms, picking them up and swinging them around until they were screaming with delight.

After making his way to the doors, he pulled out his phone and looked up the number for a taxi, rubbing his other hand over his tired eyes roughly, praying it wouldn’t take long for one to show up.

The area he stood in was quiet with everyone else still lingering behind, but he glanced up when he noticed a couple walking past hand-in-hand, pausing to steal a kiss.

Will was about to hit the number to dial for Taxi Tampa when he looked up again, his eyes landing on a familiar face and one he couldn’t forget even if he tried.

You had just walked in and were stopped in your tracks as you noticed him at the same time, your face a mix of so many emotions that Will could hardly pick one out.

You gave a small shrug and shook your head, silently explaining that you didn’t really know what you were doing there, and Will all but choked as he tried to take a breath, his shock in seeing you completely overwhelming.

He dropped his bag and let his phone fall on top of it, stepping toward you in purposeful strides, his eyes welling up just the same as yours were.

“I wasn’t sure if I should even come but…I had to show up for you,” you shook out, Will’s hands reaching to cup your face, his thumbs smoothing your cheeks as tears started to fall down them.

He nodded in response, unable to say anything, his own tears breaking their threshold as you grabbed onto his forearms, rubbing them through his shirt as he continued to hold onto you.

He pulled you into a hug, relieved when you embraced him just as hard, feeling himself relax into you, his face nuzzling your head.

“I’m sorry,” he cried, alternating his remorse with ‘thank you’ between pressing kisses onto your forehead and hair, your sobs making your body lurch against his.

Your hands pawed at his back, clawing at his fatigues like you were trying to hold onto him for good, and Will prayed with everything he had that you never would let go.

He wasn’t sure how long you stayed like that for, but he eventually felt himself calm down, relishing in holding you and being in your presence again, knowing he would do everything in his power to make every bit of hurt up to you.

Will inhaled deeply, letting it go slowly out of his mouth, feeling like he could finally breathe properly again after all this time.

It was surreal to be in his arms, his warm embrace something you missed more than you imagined you could have, the feel of his body on yours and his scent surrounding you so familiar.

His heartbeat thrummed in your ear as you continued to rest your face on his chest, hearing his breathing having evened out and realizing yours had done the same.

You reluctantly pulled away to look at him, still keeping your arms locked around his middle. “Should we get you home?”

Will’s mouth turned up on one side, his crooked smirk making you melt.

“Yeah,” he nodded, his hand falling to land on your lower back as you both turned to where his bag was left on the floor.

You expected a moment like this to feel awkward, but it was anything but, like you were learning each other all over again, standing in Will’s room with your arms around each other’s waist, your faces so close and your lips inches from touching.

Finally, Will leaned into you, softly pressing his lips on yours, making you hold your breath as you let your eyes close and kissed him back, a broken moan transferring into his mouth as you forced yourself to try to take in air again.

His hand ran across your back, pulling you close to him as he took a step into you, your shirt slipping up so his palm splayed out on your skin, that sensation alone making you shiver in addition to how good it felt to have his lips on yours again.

Kisses grew more intense as each second ticked by, only pausing when he lifted your shirt over your head, and despite feeling so desperate, you both continued to keep every touch slow and careful.

His fingers pinched the clasp of your bra together to release it, moving the straps down your shoulders until it fell from your body, returning his hands to your arms where he trailed his fingertips up them to your neck and then down to your bare chest.

You found the buttons on his shirt, blindly unfastening each one until you were able to peel it open, feeling his smooth chest and the defined muscles of his torso, his warmth radiating out onto you.

Will reached up to take hold of your face, angling your head to press his tongue deeper in your mouth, stealing every bit of air from you in the process.

Breathe, your mind begged, but kissing him was better than breathing.

The rough material of his fatigues brushed against your nipples, making your breath hitch in your throat even more, your body moving to rub against him again to replicate the feeling.

You were rid of your pants and underwear next, leaving you naked while Will remained in his uniform, but the intoxicating feel of your skin on his bare chest let him know that he needed to have as much skin-on-skin contact as possible, and he tore the garment off his upper body quickly before moving to his pants.

Once you were bared to each other, you returned to your slow caresses, touching and exploring with light fingers and hands, your pleasure brought on purely by love.

You stopped kissing him for a moment, teasing your lips on his until you managed to whisper, your voice thick with lust.

“I need you, Will. I need you inside me.”

His nose nudged your cheek as he agreed with the nod of his head, his hands clasping your face again like he feared if he went too long without kissing you, you would vanish.

He took your hand and led you to the bed, sitting down on it and shifted back slightly where you followed, straddling his lap and wrapping your arms around his neck, looking into his vibrantly blue eyes as he gazed at you lovingly.

His hands slid all along your back, bringing you closer to his body before they landed on your legs, guiding you to put them straight so they were behind him and you were seated flush against his lap.

You breathed out slowly as your forehead rested against his, feeling his cock settle at your folds, and when you moved your hips ever so slightly, you gasped at the sensation.

Will kissed along your jawline, his hands massaging your hips, ready to assist as you lifted yourself enough to reach between your bodies and take hold of his cock, guiding him to your entrance where you slowly sank onto his length.

Short, shuddered breaths were exchanged between you before you found each other’s lips again, and you gradually began to move together, finding a tempo that sang to you and helped display the love that had been missing.

Will held onto every part of you that he could, grasping at you as you rocked and rode him, his hips jutting up into yours in slow, meticulous thrusts to give you everything you needed, feeling your desperation grow while his did too.

Your clit rubbed against the coarse hairs above his cock, grinding until you were at the edge, the way your wet walls clenched around and encased him driving him to the brink what felt like faster than ever.

Even though you were both quick to arrive at your climaxes, nothing about it was rushed, savouring each movement to get there and not taking a single second for granted, every emotion felt transferred through your bodies.

Will kissed you hard, groaning into your mouth as he came undone, coating your walls and filling you completely with his hot cum that started to leak out of you as you continued to move on his shaft, your orgasm lagging just seconds behind.

Your fingers clawed at the back of his neck, scratching and digging into his flesh as your body took every bit of pleasure from him, the seal of your mouths breaking as you both panted for air, his head falling into the hollow of your neck while yours rested on the side of his, his hair soft on your cheek.

His mouth smeared wet across your collarbone as he moved his face, pressing sloppy, lazy kisses onto your skin as he continued to hold you close, feeling his chest and back expand and contract with each heavy breath while you kept your arms secured around him.

Will brought you with him as he laid down on his sheets, your bodies still connected, his fingertips tracing your hairline before he leaned toward you and kissed your lips again.

After a few more minutes of kissing, you tucked your face into his neck, your legs entwining with his, Will rolling over onto his back where he held your hand and brought it to rest on his chest.

A silent agreement seemed to settle between you to leave the talking until tomorrow, right now needing to simply be with each other, and like nothing had ever gone wrong, Will closed his eyes and fell asleep, his mind and body finding a peace he didn’t think he would ever have again.
