people doing this whole "look at how rhaenys acted with corlys's bastard son vs how catelyn acted with jon snow" to demonize one or the other is weird because, like, maybe it's just me, but i think that catelyn and rhaenys had different reactions because they're different people in different situations.
#personal#like they're clearly very different people with different personalities#hell even the situations are different#rhaenys kinda stumbles upon corlys's bastard whose name i don't know cuz i'm not watching this season just kinda in passing#she knew he existed but didn't really have to deal with it at all#meanwhile ned comes home with this baby he says is a product of cheating and just goes 'he's living here now'#there's no space for catelyn to separate herself from the betrayal of fidelity the way that there likely was for rhaenys#like i'm not catelyn's biggest fan#not just because of her treatment of jon (altho yeah i'll be honest i'm not a fan) but there's stuff about her personality#and how she views the world and what being in her head is like that can rub me the wrong way#(she's just so constantly judgy and rude about nearly everyone she doesn't know and even some that she does and it can get exhausting)#but she's a different person to rhaenys and also occupies a different role than she does#rhaenys has a lot more going for her in her marriage than just being corlys's wife#she's got the bluer blood as a targaryen princess she's got a dragon she's got power and influence in her own right#meanwhile catelyn doesn't have nearly as much#she's a lord's daughter yeah but in this entirely new kingdom where she is now her power comes from being ned's wife#and mother to his children#in her head jon is a threat to that power due to being not only a reminder of ned's infidelity but also how his placement could supplant#her children and thus herself by extension#along with her just having a different personality to rhaenys that makes her harsher about it#(i mean i still don't LIKE that she takes it out on jon who certainly didn't ask to be born but i at least understand from characterization#and again: they're different people! no shit they'd react differently!#i'm just baffled at this attempt to pit GOT characters against HOTD characters all the time it's so weird#like now there's people arguing who's better between jace and robb stark and i'm just left baffled#do y'all literally not know how to consume content in any other way except petty fandom wars? my god you're annoying

i hate when people portray michael and/or patrick as some kind of master manipulator who was terrible to shaun and stormy. like, in the past, michael sometimes got portrayed with little autonomy, or as childish and overly innocent in a weird way. that in itself is an issue with the treatment of mentally ill characters (infantilization), but the solution isn't to argue that he's actually a monster who only wanted to hurt and mislead people. the same goes for patrick. i don't enjoy the "goofy flirty mass murderer" interpretation for very similar reasons, because in the canon patrick did indeed do some wild shit but i think it's a stretch to say it was out of malice, except maybe towards eric lol
obviously there will be different views of these characters and this isn't meant to be gatekeep-y or anything, i'm just concerned with how certain portrayals can quickly slide into negative biases towards mental illness. i think if you're going on this route you might want to ask yourself why, and consider how it could make the mentally ill people within the fandom feel when they see their own symptoms portrayed by their peers as synonymous with being dishonest or manipulative

Okay. My roommate’s bf that is moving in in a couple weeks brought his fucking dog over today and 😭 like ig it was well behaved but the cats hated it (and both my cats are already anxious messes I dread to think of how they’ll act/what they’ll do with a brand new big stressor added) and it fucking. It fucking REEKS like dog. Like yeah it’s a dog but I haven’t been around dogs in so long I forgot how much like dogs dogs smell and 😭😭 if it’s gonna be here that means my apartment and my things and my blankets and clothes are gonna start to smell like fucking dog and I’m fjfjdjsksk I don’t like this but I’ve also said a couple times I’m not happy about the dog thing and they’re both like “haha well! He’s a good dog” and I think they think I’m kinda being jokey about it but like. No. I don’t like the fucking dog and I don’t wanna live with a dog 😭 because even if it’s super well behaved and doesn’t bother me in a literal sense I will still have to deal with the inescapable consequence of Living With a Dog in the sense of it making my cats anxious/moody/angry and my apartment smelling like it and hfjdjdjdks I don’t know what to doooooo
#he also made a comment tonight about me having a lot of art on the wall…#and then going ‘haha we’ll have to make a little Kaz corner’ and like implying he wanted me to take a lot of it down#he might have been joking? but if not I’m :/#like I don’t mind kinda moving some of my things around to rearrange and making room for some of his stuff#but I’m not shoving all my shit into a teeny part of the apartment or all in my room or something#like. it’s. its my apartment. it’s reasonable for me to want some of my things in the main part of the apartment I PAY RENT IN#and idk. like I don’t MIND him living here and it’s not that I expected to not have to make any changes#but I’m starting to get worried that he (and my roommate will follow his lead cuz he’s a wet noodle)#are gonna start acting like it’s THEIR apartment and I’m the random third person that needs to compromise on everything/get shoved into a#spare room and my influence should not be seen#and then we’re gonna start to have. problems. which I really don’t wanna fucking deal with#like uh. no actually. it’s my name on the lease. I lived here before. I am not overhauling my living arrangements#for a guy my roommate is dating who wanted to move in even tho they’ve only been dating like five months#and from what I can gather is not even gonna pay rent 😭😭😭#idk maybe I’m overreacting but just. the way my concerns have been kinda brushed off and my things are being treated so flippantly#is. mm. it’s rubbing me the wrong way and I don’t like it#kaz rambles

see the thing that i like so much about ruina so far is that it doesnt feel like its telling you to do something. like, specifically, it presents characters in situations, and reveals how they handle it. and afterwards... its just over. theyve simply done what they had to. theres never really any "ah, they were Flawed because they did This, so instead of doing That you should take This lesson from it." characters just... Are, and Do. theres no heavy urge to chamge the way you think, for lack of a better description. rather, it places down concepts and leaves it there, giving space for Thought rather than Explanation.
even with cut ins of angela and roland doing their own commentary-- it's never really presented as a You Should Take This Concept From This, but rather as... them Also figuring it out. because Everyone in the cast is just... odd, messy, flawed-- human. you can take away the same thing they do, or not. because everyone just does what they think is right, and deal with the consequences of it. it doesnt matter. things just move on. theres something refreshing about it.
#piktalk#verrry tagramble but um#like um. grain of salt because i havent Finished and havent had time to gather actual thoughts abt it so i may just be wrong--#but again. ruina with the steel chair.#not 2 get personal again but that has just kind of been on my mind a lot recently--#how often it is that other opinions simply... rub off on you. how theres just what youre Supposed to do or think.#that theres just one True way of thinking that everyone should strive for. when thats just... not how that really goes.#that theres a Right way to think and a Wrong one. when really its just kinda... choices. made to the best of ones ability in the moment.#it doesnt Have to be Good or Right. life goes on anyway. and somehow that can be just as scary as some sort of percieved 'wrong'.#and additionally-- how easy it is to Say you should act or think a certain way-- when truly understanding; believing; following it--#--is an entirely different story. its easy to tell yourself to just not worry; to have patience and kindness; to just keep your head high.#but actually enacting it takes effort. and not just that; but that those dour emotions that come with that inability--#--are just as important to acknowledge and give their space.#idk. i could be bullshitting. ig what it comes down to is#its nice to watch characters just... Make Decisions and Deal With Them. and thats it. no grand sweeping statements of Certainty. it just Is#ruina is very much one of those series i feel unqualified to speak for; as if others just Get It more than me; but... i speak anyhow !

it feels particularly off when someone who is aware of your religious trauma, but does not happen to share the cultural context for it, to make jokes about it

fem!reader x bangchan
synopsis: you and your virgin coworker Chan share a bed. 
warnings:🔞 !!! virgin!chan, whiny!chan, oral (m!rec), orgasm denial (m!rec), size kink if you squint, dom(ish) reader, praise, no protection, creampie, one bed trope, prob forgot some
wc: 3.77k
an: my first request! Thank you for submitting hope i did it justice lol also i lost the request i dont know where it went ;-; but i think i got everything you asked for
I used the line about ‘inviting someone back for ramen at your place’ synonymously with the term 'netflix and chill' I'm pretty sure that's the way the line is used in Korea. Correct me if I'm wrong lol. Anyways feedback appreciated :)) not proof read sorry! [m.list] 
Tumblr media
You've been at your current job for a few years and every other Friday you and your coworkers go out for a drink or dinner depending on how heavy the workload had been the previous weeks. This Friday was one of those times, only most of your coworkers had taken a work trip to help secure a big account. The office was basically empty around the end of the day now, only your office light and the office across the hall was on. Chan, the owner of the space in front of yours, could be seen typing on his computer through the glass, one of the few who had opted out of the trip to be able to leave earlier. Only both of you hadn't been leaving the office at reasonable times even if it had been promised. your days were still just as long only now you were picking up the other's work while they were gone. it was a shit deal but neither of you would complain, too shy to bring it up to your boss who did in fact keep his word on letting himself out early. 
rubbing at your eyes you power off your laptop after looking at the time. if you didn't leave now to catch a streetcar you would have to walk home and you were too drained to do that. you start to pack up your things and across the way, you can see Chan doing the same, probably set to move when you did. he was always nice enough to wait every night until you got off to walk you to the stop sign to wait for your ride before he went across the street to catch a streetcar headed in the opposite direction. even without your other coworkers, he was always smiling at you from across the way waving as you left to head home. 
As you slung your bag over your shoulder and headed to turn out the lights Chan was at the doorway giving a shy smile. “I'm a few seconds from collapsing on the floor and sleeping in my office,” 
“me too,” you flip off the lights, “and I'm starving I don't even think I have anything in my fridge,” 
Chan keeps pace with you as you make your way out of the building, reaching ahead of you to press the call elevator button “We could always keep the tradition going even if it's just the two of us, find a place for dinner?” 
“I don't know, not a lot of places are open at this hour and I want to eat on the couch and pass out,” you say hopping in after Chan when the elevator arrives. The space is small enough to have your elbows touching. Chan pressed the button for the lobby, “We could eat ramen at your place?” 
You are shocked to hear his suggestion and you assume he is too seeing at how he is bright red and stuttering, “No not like that- well kinda but just the food part- wait- I-,” he cuts himself off giving a flustered sigh, “I'm sorry i- we do not have to i'll just go home I'm sorry,” chan's rubbing at the back of his neck, ears red, eyes scrunched to avoid looking at anything at all because it would kill him to see your negative reaction. hell, it will kill him hearing you say no and push him away even if it was an innocent suggestion in the first place. he really didn't mean it that way he only wanted to hang out because he liked you and now he's gone and ruined that with a suggestion he didn't even fully intend to say in that way. 
Your giggle fills the silent elevator and you bump your shoulder against his arm, “It's okay Channie, it's definitely a perfect idea, ramen sounds so good, anything warm will send me straight to bed,” You find it cute how flustered he gets around the topic of sex. drinks out with coworkers leading to his confession months ago that he was inexperienced in bed, the flush on his cheeks as he begged the others not to ask him dirty questions. 
please you're joking Chan there is no way you haven't had sex yet! your defense of him that night only makes him like you more, who cares anyway? We should not be sharing bedroom talk with our coworkers. To know you are all kiss and tellers is an explanation enough as to why none of you get any when we go to bars. The conversation moved past Chan's Confession to laughs about how their coworkers had in fact picked up ladies from bars before. Chan had been thankful but the next morning when he remembered sharing he was a virgin in front of his crush was mortifying but you never brought it up again. 
you didn't really care that Chan was a virgin, finding out didn't make you like him any less than you already did. even if Chan had been asking to go back to your place to have sex you don’t think you would have turned him down. for as long as you worked in the office across from him you couldn't help but think about asking him out just the two of you but you had witnessed Chan turn someone down before in the breakroom. The way he smiled so sweetly as he said he didn't really like to date coworkers made you try and push the image of the two of you together away. you were friends and inviting him over was something friends did. 
“There is a convenience store across from my apartment, works out great,” you smile once you leave the elevator, “it won't be too late for you to head back home later?” 
“no northbound street cars run another lap, unlike the southbound ones I should make the last one,” the two of you ride to your place with polite small talk, and when you get off you cross the street to the store to pick up your dinner. 
It's the first time Chan has been in your small place, the one you haven't upgraded since you were in college because you didn't see the need for any more room but with Chan in the living room taking up most of the couch you wish you had. Both of you seated watching TV had your legs pressed together from the hip to the knee, his body heat overwhelmingly comfortable as you ate dinner. 
Neither of you realized you were beginning to fade, eyelids heavy as you tried to blink away sleep. When you realized you had dozed off, the TV was playing a movie that neither of you had put on, your head resting on Chan as he slumped over the armrest of the couch. you pick up your phone to check the time, the movement waking Chan up, “oh no it's so late,” you yawn pulling yourself up, “The last streetcar left an hour ago,” 
“shit,” Chan yawns, stretching out still in his button-up shirt, he had taken off his work coat when he came in but this was nothing he could sleep in. 
“it's okay you can stay but I have nothing for you to wear,” 
“I can walk it's okay-“
“You will not be walking all the way home. it's fine you can sleep in my bed I don't even think the couch is long enough for me to stretch out all the way,” 
“Then where will you sleep?” 
“the floor, it's okay,” you say waving him away to check to make sure your room is clean of clothes on the floor. you wave him over as he shakes his head, “No you're not sleeping on the floor in your own home, we can share I don't mind, or I'll Sleep on the floor,” 
“Fine, we can share,” You're too tired to argue, too tired to think about the fact that Chan is standing in the doorway as you turn around and pull out your oversized sleepshirt, shedding your work top and bra off. 
Chan is suddenly frozen fully awake watching you. He can only see your bare back turned to him, the image of your fingers unhooking your bra burned into his mind before you tug on the oversized shirt. but you're not done, the button of your work pants is undone, and at only sound in the room is the ripple of your zipper before you tug your pants down leaving you in your underwear. he cannot see them but he can see the outline through your white shirt, the black fabric hugging your ass as you pull the covers back to climb into the bed. “turn off the lights when you're ready,” your eyes already closed as you snuggle into the sheets. but Chan can't move. He is sure if you opened your eyes it would be very obvious that he was thinking about you lying in bed next to him almost naked. only two articles of fabric separating your completely naked form from him. 
he swallows the lump in his throat unbuttoning his work shirt, when it's gone he starts on his pants even taking them off to leave him in his underwear is enough to make him sigh. the pressure on his cock releasing just a bit but not enough to make him go soft. He's cursing at his body for making it so obvious he wants you. You're so natural at this, not even caring that he's climbing in bed next to you and he's a complete mess as he edges in on the far side of the bed trying not to make any contact at all as he turns the lamp off. 
in the dark, he tries to tell himself to calm down but it doesn't work, not when he can smell you on the sheets, when all he can think about is that if you touched yourself you would have to do it in this bed. 
You're not even thinking about anything besides falling asleep. You can hear Chan trying to get comfortable next to you, tossing and turning, the dip in the bed from his weight making you slide closer to him. you're barely touching him but he's gone still next to you, without thinking you roll your hips to try and pull away not wanting to make him uncomfortable but it does the opposite because you slide closer to him your ass pressed against his very prominent erection. 
if it wasn't for Chan's uneven breaths you would have thought he was asleep with how still and quiet he is. you wonder if you should pull away and ignore him, act like nothing was wrong, that you did not feel anything at all, and that you were asleep already and it was an accident. but the heat of him makes you wet, just the idea of rubbing back against him sends you into overdrive. you move your hips again to hear the soft whine Chan lets out, he's so close to your ear that it makes the sound amplified. 
Chan reaches out, his palm wrapping around your hip and you brush against him again. His whine is louder, a weak, “I'm Sorry,” mixed in with the sound. Chan's hips bump forward looking for more friction but you can tell he's trying to hold himself back with how hard he's holding you. “it's okay,” you whisper grinding back into his strained thrusts. 
“ill stop, I swear,” but he can't bring himself to listen to anything he says, the feel of your ass against him is so much better than when he ruts against his pillow at home. You're so warm, so firm, and he can't help himself. Chan's movements are jerky as he presses himself against you, the thin material of his underwear making him groan in annoyance. 
“You don't have to stop,” you mutter, encouraging him with each roll of your hips against him. “if you want I can use my hands,” 
The thought alone would have made Chan cum if he hadn't pulled himself away from you, rolling on his back and whining from denying himself. 
you sit up next to him, watching him squeeze his eyes shut, hair a mess on his forehead before he runs his hands through it grabbing the strands and pulling at them. He's panting hard, the rise and fall of his chest catching your attention. You've never seen Chan shirtless, you didn't know that underneath the suit he wears he is completely ripped. Your mouth waters with the need to lick him up and down, to kiss him, if he let you suck him off it would be a very good night. “If you don't want me to use my hands I could use my mouth,” Chan whines again, a weak thrust of his hips into the air at your words. you lean down until your lips are next to his ear, “If you don't want my mouth I could let you use me in other ways,” he's fully humping the air now, fists made in the sheets. 
“I don't- I've never…” he shakes his head finally opening his eyes. pupils were blown looking for you to understand, “I want to be good for you but I don't know how,” 
“I can show you,” your lips brushing his as you whisper it, “only if you want me to,” 
“I do!” he nods, “I want you, I've wanted you so fucking bad for too long,” 
you kiss him and he could shatter at the seams from finally getting to taste you. Chan has made out with people before, he knows he's a good kisser, what he's worried about is everything else. but with your lips on him, he's a little less worried. breaking the kiss you move to straddle his abdomen, kissing down his jaw as he throws his head back. He can't control his thrusts anymore, searching for friction where you're purposefully not giving him. “patience Channie,” you say between nips at his neck, his whines in response but you shake your head. “I know you're needy but it will feel better with foreplay,” 
he nods as you work down his collarbones, reaching his nipples as you slide down his body. you lick down his chest and abs, circling his navel and following a line down to his waistband. The cold air hits the line you've made down him and Chan moans at the feeling, goosebumps rising over his arms. He wants to touch you, peel your shirt away, and finally see more than just your bare back. almost as if you can read his thoughts you sit up placing your ass on his thighs before pulling off your shirt. nipples pebbling from the air, Chan's hands fisting the sheets so hard his knuckles are bloodless. 
“If you're good next time I'll let you lick me the way I did for you,” Chan whines almost painfully before you lean down moving back until you are face to face with his clothed bulge. already a dark spot on the fabric from his precum. “Let me know if you're about to cum okay?” 
Chan nods head lifting to watch as you lean forward and kiss over where he's straining in his underwear. his hips try to chase your mouth when you pull away and you tisk at him, “Patience Chan I shouldn't have to tell you twice,” 
“I can't help it,” he moans, your fingers hooked into the elastic around his waist pulling the fabric down his legs, his cock heavily slapping against his stomach. every vein prominent, ruddy tip swollen and begging to be kissed. you gather the spit in your mouth before letting it drop down against his length. If you are going to fit it in you're going to have to take the time to stretch yourself out so it won't hurt. For now, you wrap your hand around him, giving him a few shallow pumps, his moans of approval the only sound in the room. you let Chan thrust into your hand when he doesn't like your pace but you completely pull away when he says, “I'm going to cum im-“ he whines so loud at missing his release, your lips on his thigh as you use your hands to hold his hips back from coming up off the mattress. 
“no please, please I want to cum, please,” he begs, trying to rut in the air but you shake your head. 
“You have to wait pretty boy, you can hold out a little more right?” but he doesn't get to answer when you lick up his shaft, tongue swirling around his tip. 
Chan has never been so noisy in his life, he's never wanted, no needed, to cum so bad. when you fully take him into your mouth he sees spots in his vision, the coiling in his pelvis intensifying. he doesn't want to tell you but like you're sucking the words right out of him he whimpers, “cumming im-,” but it's ripped away from him again and he's on the verge of tears. he won't be able to last any longer not like this, when every brush of your fingers on him makes him twitch. he lets go of the death grips he has on the sheets pushing himself up be rolls the two of you over. 
you're shocked as he pins you down, his face pressed into your neck whimpers tickling your skin. “please, can I cum inside you?” his cock is rubbing against your covered center, and he can feel that the fabric is wet with your arousal, knows he must be doing something right when your soft moans come every time he rubs against your clit. 
you nod knowing you won't be able to say no to him, not when you want him this bad. “take my panties off,” Chan listened, not waiting a moment to follow your order. when they are gone he's stopped by the sight of you. laid out for him glistening, you reach down using two of your fingers to make a v pushing open more of yourself so he can see. Chan watches as you drag your fingers through your wetness, and whines as he watches you dip a finger into your entrance.“you listen so well Channie if you keep listening I'll let you taste me,” 
chans weak in the knees at your words, he wants nothing more than to please you, to hear you say nice things to him over and over, to finally let him sink into your warm heat. “please,” it's so quiet you almost miss it. 
“Grab your cock in your hand,” he does as you say, “then lean over me and run the length of you in my wetness kinda like you were doing before okay?” he nods and when he plants his hand next to your head he looks down to watch what he's doing. both of you moaning as he rubs against your clit, he could just stop here, he knows just this will make him cum without a second thought but you won't let him. “drag your tip down until it catches if you miss ill help you, okay?” 
but Chan doesn't need your help, the head of his cock prodding your entrance, his hips jerking knowing he's so close to feeling all of you, “you're doing so good,” you hum brushing your fingers through his hair, “slowly push in I won't be able to take it all unless you go slow,” 
Chan pushes in following your instructions. he's hardly in when he's shaking, you feel so fucking good, warm, and just right. he will never be able to imagine taking you while he's alone again, his hand won't cut it anymore, not after this. 
his moan is guttural as he fully seats himself inside you, your hips meeting his. chans so deep you can swear he's touching your womb, your hands wrap around his shoulders, both of you catching your breath, “you have to move slow, warm me up a little before you can trust harder,” Chan nods but he doesn't know if he will be able to last long enough to make himself go any faster. Your warm walls feel so fucking good he could cum without moving at all, but he slowly pulls out before sinking back in. You're so wet it's easy to find a steady pace. 
“Just like that Channie,” you moan and Chan whines at the praise, he wants to be perfect for you, as perfect as you've been for him and he can't control himself, his hips sinking hitting you deeper than you felt before. 
you moan loudly as he brushes your gummy stop making you see stars, “your hand, use your hand on my clit,” you whimper and when Chan's fingers find the perfect spot he feels you clench around him. he gives a shocked moan not realizing you could feel any better, his orgasm so close he presses his fingers harder against you, your shocked gasp music to his ears. you didn't think you would cum seeing as it was his first time but you're right on the cusp when you hear his pants, “I'm going to cum, please, I need to cum, let me cum in you,” he begs eyes watching where the two of you connect. 
“you've been so good to me,” your words making his stomach flex, balls tightening, and you can feel him twitch inside you, “cum for me Channie,” 
he cries out as he finishes, hot ropes of cum spilling inside you making you follow right after him. The fluttering of your cunt makes him whine sinking in deeper letting his body weight fall on you as he pumps more cum deep inside you. 
never has he cum so hard or this much, never did he think it would feel this amazing. 
Chans is lying on top of you, both of you sweaty and panting. your fingers comb his hair back from his forehead, scratching his scalp until he's humming. you can feel his softening cock inside you, his hips twitching every once in a while. Neither of you moves, only enjoying the feel of each other. “Did you mean what you said?” Chan asks and you scrunch your brows. “what?” 
“about next time? that there would be a next time.” 
you giggle pressing a kiss to his cheek, “Yes if you're good there will be a next time,” but you can feel Chan twitch inside you already growing hard again.

Could you write that the Slashers walk in on their lover changing and the lover has their top off, but is a bit embarrassed about their torso? -But kinda two versions though.
Such as a female lover with rolls or a chubby torso and a male lover with a more 'feminine' or hourglass torso.
Slashers with Reader That's Insecure About Their Body
Slashers x Fem! Reader, Slashers x Male! Reader
Includes: Freddy, Michael, Jason, Thomas, Bubba, Brahms, Norman, Billy, Stu, Vincent, Bo, Lester, & Hannibal
A/N: Each of the Slashers will have two parts: one with Fem! Reader and one with Male! Reader :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Freddy Krueger
Fem! Reader:
He lets out a loud whistle when he first walks in to see you without your top on
But his amusement is quickly replaced with concern when he sees the small frown on your face
He immediately stands beside you and asks what's wrong
When you tell him about your insecurities and how you don't like what you see, he smiles softly
"Babe, you have a woman's body. And there is nothing sexier than that, hm?"
When you don't immediately respond, he begins pinching at your side a bit, starting to tickle you
You let out a few giggles as he pulls you close to him
"There's that smile."
Male! Reader
"Whatcha lookin' at babe?" Freddy asks, snapping you out of your thoughts
You just respond with a sad look
Freddy goes serious and asks what's wrong immediately
When you explain that you don't look "masculine" enough, he just laughs
"That's all phony," he reasons. "You'll always be man enough for me, and that doesn't have to do with how your body looks either."
When you give him a questioning glance, he just wraps his arms around you
"You fit perfectly in my arms like this, yeah?"
This causes you to blush a bit, making Freddy smile widely
Tumblr media
Michael Myers
Fem! Reader:
He doesn't really acknowledge you changing right away until he hears a little sniffle
He instinctively walks over to you and begins to look you over, making sure you're not hurt
But when you subconsciously bring your arms up over your torso, he looks at you confused
"Do you think I'm... attractive?" you ask after a bit of him staring
He quite literally rolls his eyes and grabs your hands, pinning them behind your back
With his other hand, he begins to massage along each dip and curve on your body
He lets out a guttural "mine" into your ear
And that's enough to put you more at ease
Male! Reader
Seeing you without a shirt on wasn't an uncommon occurrence, but seeing the way you were looking at yourself was
He comes over to you and stares at your reflection, already waiting for you to explain what's wrong
Instead of just shrugging it off once you told him, he steps closer
"Don't doubt yourself," he huffs out
He looks you over once again and then rest his hand on your arm, giving it a squeeze
He may not be the best at reassurance, but even just him trying to is saying a lot
And it's enough to make you feel a little more comfortable
Tumblr media
Jason Voorhees
Fem! Reader:
You could see him freeze up from the mirror when he entered the bathroom
Even after all this time together, he still becomes shy during private moments like these
But when he sees your sad face, he doesn't hesitate to step further into the room
When you finally tell him what's going on in your mind, he immediately shakes his head in response
You give him a confused look
It's then that he gets on both of his knees in front of you and pulls your whole body to him, his head resting on your torso
He won't let go until you tell him that you're feeling better
Male! Reader
He drops his machete down on instinct, pulling you away from the mirror
You explain to him how you're feeling about your body, and he responds with a tilt of the head
He thought you were perfect, and it seemed crazy to him that you didn't feel the same
He quickly decides to lead you to the couch, holding you close to him
He gently rubs up and down your back, his silent way of soothing you and showing appreciation towards your body
He's willing to do this all night if he has to
As long as you're feeling better, that's all that matters
Tumblr media
Thomas Hewitt
Fem! Reader:
He walks in and gives you a big smooch on the cheek like he does any other day
But instead of seeing you smile, he's met with a sour expression
He tilts his head in question, prompting you to talk to him
When you explain what's going on, he just looks at you in disbelief
How could you feel insecure at all? You are literally the most beautiful person he has ever met.
He moves in front of you and motions to your whole body with his hands
He then places them onto his chest, his way of telling you that he loves you
In response, you step into him and immediately feel his arms wrap around you, rocking back and forth a bit
Male! Reader
He smiles widely behind his mask at the sight of you getting ready for bed
But it soon drops when realizes that you are unhappy
After telling him your insecurities, he quickly grabs your hands and holds them in his
You can see in his eyes that he's genuinely sad that you feel this way
He'll hold you hands like this all night if he has to, not letting you go until he's certain that you're feeling better
He really wishes he could verbalize just how perfect and manly your body is to him
But what he can't express through words, he'll happily communicate through his actions
Tumblr media
Bubba Sawyer
Fem! Reader:
He lets out some happy claps when he steps into the room, already showing you praise for your body
You can't help but break out into a small smile, but your mind still felt heavy
He begins to show concern when he sees you aren't as happy as he is and walks over to you immediately
Before you even have time to explain what's wrong, he has you hoisted in his arms
He's spinning you around, bouncing up and down, and basically just trying to shake some giggles out of you
It inevitably works, and you find yourself unable to remember what had you so down in the first place
Male! Reader
Bubba can't help but admire you for a bit, just feeling all giddy with finally seeing you after a long day
But once you explain that you're not feeling well, he shows concern
He looks you over, completely confused on how you could ever feel self-conscious
It's at this that he also strips off his shirt, standing right next to you in the mirror topless
The suddenness of his actions causes you to let out a quiet chuckle
Bubba responds in delight, bouncing a bit beside you
And you better believe that if you find yourself feeling down again, he will not hesitate to rip off his shirt again in any attempt to make you smile
Tumblr media
Brahms Heelshire
Fem! Reader:
To be completely honest, Brahms is always lurking around somewhere
So when he sees from the walls that you're looking sadly at yourself in the mirror, he quickly hops into the room with you
"Don't," he orders you, making you face him instead
When you give him a confused look, he sighs
"It is an insult to think you are anything but beautiful," he speaks roughly
When you look down towards your feet, he grabs your face and makes you look at him
The moment you try to say anything, he smashes his lips to yours and silences you immediately
Male! Reader
Brahms has never shared any preference to how you looked
Everything about you was attractive to him, so seeing you pick yourself apart was more than frustrating
He quickly pulls you away from the mirror and has you stand in front of him instead
He takes your hand and places it over his chest
"You feel that? It's beating for you."
He'll keep your hand there until he's content with how you're feeling, quickly planting a kiss on your lips
The next day, you find that the list of rules has an extra step now
Will tell Brahms that you're handsome before bed
Tumblr media
Norman Bates
Fem! Reader:
He can sense something is off pretty quickly when you don't greet him at the door like normal
When he questions it, he finds himself in disbelief
He didn't think it would be possible for you to see yourself as anything but pretty
He quickly pulls you into a hug and shushes you, swaying back and forth
"You are so beautiful, I promise. And it's a privilege to be the one to prove it to you every day."
This is enough to bring tears to your eyes as you cuddle into him further
Male! Reader:
"You look great," Norman says when he enters the room
But you only respond with a huff
This causes him to walk over, asking you what's wrong
When you tell him, you can immediately see the sadness in his eyes
"Oh, honey, none of that is true."
He steps closer with his arms slightly open
You take this as an invitation and hug him, feeling him rub your back softly
"You'll always be the most wonderful person to me, inside and out," he whispers
Tumblr media
Billy Loomis
Fem! Reader:
His jaw goes slack when he walks in on you topless
But he immediately snaps out of it when he hears you sniffle a bit
The moment you tell him what's going on, he lets out a humorless laugh
"Every curve and every mark turns me on so goddamn much, don't you know that?" he whispers into your hair
He massages along your back and helps put your tense muscles at ease
"I can't get enough of you. I thought you'd know that by now."
He begins nipping at your shoulder a bit, finally forcing a smile out of you
Male! Reader
He gives you a quick kiss to the forehead when he first sees you
But when he immediately feels you tense up, he knows something is wrong
He gives you that look and you know that you have to spill the beans
When you finish telling him about feeling insecure, he scoffs
"Babe. I am the most shallow person I know. Your body is absolutely perfect, and that is the damn truth."
You give him a small smile at this
"And if anyone made you feel like this, tell me. They won't ever be a problem again..."
Tumblr media
Stu Macher
Fem! Reader:
"Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes," he says with a big goofy smile
But when you don't respond right away, he comes up to you a bit worried
He quickly ushers you to tell him what has you so upset
You tell him and he gets the most baffled look on his face
"You're joking, right?"
When you just stare at him, he quickly spins you around and places his hands on your stomach
"Look at you. You've gotta be blind to not see how hot you are."
He begins to tickle your stomach, causing you to smile right away
"That should be how you react every time you look at yourself, babe."
Male! Reader
Stu gives you a big smooch when he first gets home
Before you can even say anything about how you're feeling, he breaks out into a wide grin
"Look at you, baby! I am dating the most perfect man."
With that, he grabs your hand and makes you do a spin for him, looking at your topless figure
"I'll never get used to this sight," he mutters mostly to himself
This has you blushing immediately, and you can barely even remember feeling self-conscious earlier
Leave it to Stu to make you feel better without even trying
Tumblr media
Vincent Sinclair
Fem! Reader:
His shyness immediately dissipates when he realizes that you had been crying
He can feel his protectiveness kick in as he rushes over to you and looks you over, making sure you weren't hurt
When you reassure him that you're okay, you're just feeling self-conscious, he becomes confused
How could someone like you ever know a day of insecurity?
He thought you were an angel
He gently places his hand on your cheek and rubs away any residual tears
He simply shakes his head at your words, silently reassuring you that you were absolutely stunning in his eyes
Male! Reader
When you first ask him what he thinks of your body, Vincent immediately turns red
When you ask again if he really finds you attractive, he nods his head dramatically
Of course he did. Why would you think otherwise?
When you eventually share how you're feeling towards your body, he seems bewildered
When he sees you tearing up a bit, he immediately rummages through his desk and pulls out a little wax figurine
You quickly realize that it's you
He made a little statue of you because of how beautiful you are to him
That gets you crying for a different reason
Tumblr media
Bo Sinclair
Fem! Reader:
You can feel Bo's wandering eyes the moment he enters the room
Normally, his attention would make you feel good, but today didn't feel normal
The moment he feels you freeze under his touch, he pulls back with a look of concern
When you express that you're not feeling good about how you look, he scoffs
"Darlin' you really think I'd be here right now if I didn't think you were drop dead gorgeous?"
When you shrug, he rolls his eyes and squeezes you into him
"A little extra somethin' never hurt nobody..." he says, kissing the crook of your neck
Male! Reader
Bo goes into murder mode when he sees how upset you are
"Who did this?" he asks
But when you explain that it's all because of your insecurities, his face softens
When you tell him that you feel like your hourglass shape is unattractive, he walks up to you
He places his hands right where your waist comes in and gives a little squeeze
"This is my favorite part of you," he smiles. "It fits my hands just right. Don't you see how perfect you are for me, just like this?"
You become shy at his words so he cups your face and brings your gaze back to his
"No reason to be thinkin' like that now," he reassures
Tumblr media
Lester Sinclair
Fem! Reader:
He lets out a "wow" when he sees you topless at first
But when he walks up to you and feels how stiff you are, he realizes something is wrong
"Sweetheart, I promise you are the most beautiful person to me. I don't even know how I got someone like you."
He motions to your torso area
"All this is perfect."
When he finally gets a soft smile from you, he breaks out into a similar grin
"You know I've always liked having something to hold onto," he teases, making you give him a teasing slap on the shoulder
Male! Reader
He's quick to rush over when he sees your sad face
He sits beside you, fully willing to wait however long you need to open up to him
Once you do, he shakes his head in disbelief
"Darlin' you must be goin' crazy if you think you look anything but perfect," he says seriously
When you don't respond right away, he slides closer to you
"I ain't lyin'. If you paid any attention, you'd see me starin' at ya all the time."
He nudges you a bit and this breaks loose a little smile
"That's it, darlin'. Keep 'em comin'."
Tumblr media
Hannibal Lecter
Fem! Reader:
He can immediately tell something is off when he walks in
He quite literally knows you better than you know yourself
You don't even have to say anything for him to walk over and stand behind you, his hands resting along your waist gently
"Your body is what ancient goddesses were modeled after. I wish you could see how worshiped you are."
He takes your hand and brings it up to his lips and kisses it softly
You just look to the ground, blushing
"I suppose this will be a lesson that needs to be taught," he pulls you closer to him, "Let us begin now, hm?'
Male! Reader
Hannibal's specialty is reading people like books, and you were clearly no exception
He pulls you to him and has you sit on his lap
He often does this to help you feel more comfortable
He waits patiently for you to explain what he already knows
"Masculinity, my dear, is nothing but a construct. You can't lack something that only exists in disillusioned people. You have and always will be beautiful in my eyes."
You crack a small smile at this, not used to him being so open with you
"Now, put on that shirt you love so much and join me downstairs for dinner," he speaks softly

is it casual now?, pt. two
pt. one
my friends call me a loser ‘cause i’m still hanging around. i’ve heard so many rumors that i’m just a girl that you bang on your couch. i thought you thought of me better, someone you couldn’t lose. you said, “we’re not together,” so now when we kiss i have anger issues. you said, “baby, no attachments,” but we’re knee deep in the passengers seat and you’re eating me out, is it casual now?
around one in the morning, steve can’t take the tossing and turning anymore. he calls robin and she just says she’s coming over. she rides her bike all the way to steve’s house in the dark even though he tells her over and over not to do that. she just does.
he both loves and hates that she does.
steve’s on the couch in the living room again, moved back downstairs when he realized sleep wasn’t coming tonight. he’s sitting right where eddie had looked at him and rejected him. right where eddie had decided steve wasn’t worth the trouble. even in the privacy of his own mind, steve knows he’s not being exactly fair, but he can’t stop his thoughts from circling over what happened, over and over and over again, until the night is all smooth around the edges, all the good stuff rubbed away.
so that’s where robin finds him, wrapped in the navy comforter he’d dragged from his bed with the television glowing on mute. the house is dark and she just lets herself in like she always does.
“i take it the talk didn’t go so well,” her voice is light and steve can tell she’s trying not to add any inflection to the statement, trying hard so it doesn’t sound like a question.
“i don’t know, doesn’t every great love story start with someone storming out after the confession?” steve tries to make it a joke, to make it sound flippant, but his voice comes out flat. robin’s mouth quirks up a little any way and he knows it’s something like a pity laugh, but it does soothe the stabbing pain in his chest just a little.
“you wanna talk about it or you wanna let me take you to bed and big spoon the shit out of you?” robin reaches out to run her hand lightly through his hair, just once, before she lets it fall back into her lap. she’s wearing her pajamas, the wide leg of her flannel pants stuffed into her bright yellow rainboots, like she’d left the house in a hurry, couldn’t bother to change or find proper footwear.
steve sighs. “not a whole lot to talk about. i told him it would be kinda cool to maybe… date but he said he already told me he doesn’t really do that. and he’s right. i was just being dumb, i guess.”
“is that how you said it?” there’s a crease between her eyebrows now and she’s got that expression on her face that she always gets when she’s trying to solve a puzzle.
“i mean, not, like, word for word or whatever, but yeah, that’s the general gist of how it went.”
her expression shutters and her jaw sets. “right, well. he doesn’t have to be a super mega asshole about it.”
“he wasn’t,” steve tells her, earnestly. robin is eddie’s friend too and he doesn’t want this whole dumb thing ruining that too. they could all use all the friends they could get at this point, especially ones who get it, whatever it happens to be. “i promise. it was just… my mistake. he did tell me, from the beginning. i just misunderstood.”
robin’s face softens slightly. she reaches her hand out to lock her fingers with his and they sit there in the glow from the tv for a long moment, silent. “let’s go to sleep,” she yawns finally, standing from the couch. “everything will be better in the morning.”
~*~
robin is half wrong, but she’s also half right. things are better in the morning. steve doesn’t feel like his chest is going to cave in at every small wrong move and he doesn’t feel like crying every five seconds after his extensive cry sesh in the shower.
but eddie still isn’t there.
~*~
it’s been weeks since steve has seen eddie. steve’s not stupid. he’s aware that eddie’s actively avoiding him, despite the fact that steve has called the trailer multiple times trying to apologize. he’d left a confusingly vague message with wayne, one he’s sure had made no sense if it was even relayed to eddie at all. picking the kids up from hellfire at the wheelers is a newly torturous experience with the kids now waiting for him on the curb awkwardly instead of making steve wait an extra fifteen to twenty minutes on the wheeler’s gross plaid couch in their basement that perpetually smells like corn chips. everyone seems to be clearly aware that something is up. he’s sure he sees sympathy in mrs. wheeler’s eyes when she waves to him from their front door, thanking him for driving the kids home.
steve’s not exactly sure where it all went wrong. he knows now that he’d blindsided eddie; it was more than apparent now that eddie hadn’t even thought about what he was doing or how steve was feeling. steve spent hours thinking about eddie every day and it was clear now that that was not reciprocated. which is fine, he guesses, but he had thought he and eddie were friends first. they’d saved the world together after all. that tended to bond people forever, he’d assumed, just simply based on his relationships with robin and dustin and even nancy. he hadn’t really accounted for losing eddie completely. but steve was clearly fucking clueless when it came to eddie munson, so maybe he’d actually been wrong about everything all along.
he ping pongs back and forth between feelings of self-pity mixed with self flagellation and feelings of intense, white-hot anger at eddie. one minute, he’s sure this is all his fault, that he really is the dumbest person on planet earth and he definitely deserves to have people leave him constantly when he’s so fucking stupid all the time, can’t even keep his stupid fucking mouth shut and his stupid ugly feelings to himself for one time in his stupid fucking life. the next, he starts to blame eddie for what happened instead, blames him for not understanding steve at all. it’s eddie’s fault for not seeing what was right in front of his stupid fucking face. but after a couple of minutes of that, he’s back to being certain it really was his fault after all.
so after almost a month of no returned phone calls, no surprise visits at work just to say “hey” because eddie couldn’t sit around all day waiting for steve to get off his shift, no casual touches as they chat while eddie packs up his dnd gear, steve finally takes the massive fucking hint for what it is and stops calling. he begs jonathan to pick the kids up from hellfire, lying about a new shift schedule at work. he refuses to drive the kids anywhere that eddie might potentially be, even when the kids insist eddie really won’t be there. he’s trying so hard to convince himself that actually he’s the one avoiding eddie and not the other way around. he’s barely even hanging out with robin anymore, besides work. she seems to get that he needs time alone right now though. steve’s never been more grateful for a platonic soul mate.
but after this long, agonizing month of constantly rearranging his own life to help someone else avoid him, steve’s exhausted. he’s been having more nightmares than usual, ones where the people he loves all take turns dying in his arms. it’s a wednesday when he finally has the night off and he decides to treat himself with sixteen candles and a pizza. he orders his pie and fifteen minutes later he’s pulling his wallet from his pocket before answering the knock on the door.
“what do i owe you?” he asks after the door swings open. he’s got his eyes on his wallet in his hands, fingers moving over the bills folded together.
“oh, um,” a familiar voice stutters. steve’s eyes snap up. “i—“
steve feels like he can’t get any air for a minute. eddie’s just standing on his front step, staring.
steve’s throat feels dry. he has to swallow a few times before he can get any words out, but eddie beats him to it anyway.
“can we, uh. talk?” eddie looks nervous, fiddling with the rings on his fingers. steve steps out of the way, silently letting eddie pass him on his way into the house. the door swings shut and it’s the loudest sound steve’s ever heard in his life.
they stand in the small foyer with its huge ceilings and steve can feel the cold of the tiles through his thin socks. eddie makes no move to enter further into the house, so neither does he. steve shifts on his feet, crossing his arms over his chest, suddenly uncomfortable in the silence of his own home.
“i’m sorry,” steve says quietly, after a long stretch of silence that makes it clear eddie’s not actually about to speak. eddie’s eyes keep flitting around the small space, landing everywhere but steve’s face. eddie shrugs, looking over steve’s shoulder into the kitchen behind him.
“it’s not—“ eddie shakes his head, cutting himself off. steve wants desperately to hear how he’d finish that sentence. almost as desperately as he doesn’t.
“i ruined it.” steve runs his hand through his hair. “i tried calling the trailer… to apologize. left a couple messages with wayne but.” he shrugs.
eddie grunts. steve wishes he knew how to make this better. he can’t tell if the grunt means eddie got his messages or not. he’d thought he was good at deciphering eddie’s noises by now.
“look,” steve says, finally frustrated with the whole thing. “we were kind of friends before we started… hooking up or whatever. i get that you wanted something casual and that i ruined it. i get that i fucked it up and i made you uncomfortable and—i just get it, okay? you didn’t do anything wrong. you were always honest. i was just seeing what i wanted to see and i let myself believe something that wasn’t real. so. i would really like for us to be friends again. i hate this, eddie. it really sucks. i don’t like not seeing you around. i just—this sucks.”
eddie nods, swallowing thickly, but he doesn’t really seem like he’s hearing steve.
“yeah,” eddie finally agrees. “this sucks.”
steve gets the sense that eddie means more than just this whole dumb thing between them, but he’s trying not to be in the business of making assumptions about what eddie means anymore.
“i have a pizza coming,” steve sighs. “if you want to stay?” he can’t help but feel hopeful and he knows this is too much, to invite eddie to stay when they haven’t even really made up yet, but he doesn’t know how to fix this. he’s never been good at this.
eddie glances into the living room and steve’s not entirely sure what he sees or what he imagines, but he watches as eddie swallows again, eyes darting quickly to steve’s face, just once, before he gives his head a small shake. “no, i don’t—i should go. but we’ll see each other, okay, harrington?” and he says it like a question but steve thinks he knows it’s not really a question at all. steve will see eddie any time, anywhere, whenever eddie asks.
steve tries to smile before shuffling toward the door and watching eddie go.
~*~
it’s another ten minutes before his pizza even gets there and when it does, steve’s feeling even more sorry for himself than he has in the last month since he’d asked eddie out. he makes it halfway through the movie and the pizza before he starts to consider calling robin. it’s been a while since they’ve just hung out and that’s been entirely steve’s fault. she hasn’t said anything because she knows steve inside and out, but steve is really missing her right now.
he’s just about ready to pull on his shoes and pick up the phone to tell robin he’s on his way to get her when there’s a knock at the door. half of him is confused, the other half is convinced it must be robin, having sensed his desire for her company. he stands and makes his way to the door, a half smile on his face as he swings it open for the third time tonight.
“look, what happened before is not why i came here, so wait and just let me talk and then you can say whatever you want but if you don’t let me just get this out, i’m never going to say it and i… you deserve to hear it so i need to say it, for real, right now,” eddie’s practically panting as he pushes past steve.
“um okay,” steve tries to get out but eddie glares at him.
“shut up, shut up for real, okay.” eddie crouches down in the foyer of steve’s house, his head in his hands between his knees. his voice comes out a little muffled, but steve can still hear him pretty clearly. “you didn’t ruin anything. you didn’t. really. i ruined it. i ruined a really good thing.”
steve feels like his chest is being hollowed out but he bites his lip, desperate not to interrupt.
eddie groans and steve can see his fingers tense and release in his own hair. “you were so sweet, on the couch. the last time.” he says it like steve could’ve forgotten and steve feels a blush rise on his cheeks. “you… you looked so soft and gooey and hopeful and i—i fucked it up. because back when this whole thing started, it seemed like a miracle that you’d even look at me. like. you’re… you and i’m just me. what the fuck.” eddie laughs almost hysterically. steve feels his fingernails cutting into his own palms with how hard he’s trying to stay still and silent. eddie still hasn’t looked up from where he’s holding himself tight. “and it kept happening and happening and happening and i—i’ve never… i’ve never.”
“oh,” steve can’t help but breathe out in surprise.
eddie shakes his head a little, seems to forget himself and look up and then he’s just staring at steve’s face. he swallows again and steve can see his hands shake. “no, i mean, i’ve… but never… more than once. never all the time.” now that eddie’s looked steve in the eyes, he can’t seem to look away. his eyes look so huge and glassy from where he looks up at steve from his place on the floor. steve feels his heart clench. his fingertips ache. “never like that.” steve nods. “and then you didn’t leave. you didn’t run or pretend it didn’t happen. and you let me pretend it was something it wasn’t, like we weren’t… like it wasn’t… important.” steve’s brows furrow in confusion. “because i was lying. obviously. of course i was. it wasn’t casual. you’d never be casual. not for me.”
“i don’t—“ steve suddenly can’t breathe.
“wait. please.” eddie’s eyes go soft around the edges. “i fucked it up, stevie, because i was lying the whole time. and i thought you were just letting me lie because… i don’t know. i don’t know why, because i know it wasn’t casual for you either. it was all over you. and that was really, really scary.” steve falls to his knees on the foyer tiles, vaguely aware of the dull ache, before sliding closer to where eddie is crouched. he whimpers, just a little, when eddie holds out his palm, presses it to the center of steve’s chest to keep him from getting too close. “hold on, baby, i just. i have to say it, please. gimme a second, i’m just…” eddie gives his head another small shake, as if he’s trying to clear it. “i’m sorry, i guess, is what it really all comes down to. i’m sorry i let you think you weren’t important. i only realized you didn’t know that night on the couch and i… i guess i saw some plausible deniability. a way to walk away without getting, like, totally annihilated. and that’s, you know. my whole issue.” eddie swallows again, hand fisting into the fabric of steve’s shirt. “i was scared. i ran. because… because i love you, stevie. i was falling in love with you this whole time and trying to act like i wasn’t. because i was an idiot. and i couldn’t be the one to break first. but what a stupid, fucked up way to think about it, huh? i love you, man, and you deserve to hear it and feel it and have it, is really what i’m trying to say. i just love you.”
somewhere in all of that, eddie had used his grip on steve’s shirt to pull him in closer so their noses are practically touching. steve can feel the prickle of tears in his own eyes, can feel eddie’s breath on his lips.
“you love me?” even steve can hear how incredulous his own voice sounds.
eddie huffs out a laugh and steve can feel it on his skin. “yeah, dude. of course i do. how could i not?”
“dude,” steve repeats, cause like… really?
“is that all you have to say?” eddie slides his nose along steve’s, nuzzling, skin warm. steve’s eyelids go heavy.
“you left me hanging for, like, a month, bro,” steve tries to joke, but his voice sounds too breathless.
“yeah,” eddie murmurs. “i’m so sorry, baby. can i kiss you?”
and all steve can do is nod.
~*~
the next morning, steve wakes up to soft sunlight filtering in through the blinds he forgot to close last night. he feels hazy, all syrupy and warm, before he bolts upright in his bed. or tries to. because just as he’s moving, he notices the heavy presence on his right arm.
“too early,” eddie groans, shuffling naked under the covers. “turn it off.”
“turn what off? the sun?” steve smiles as he turns to spoon his equally naked body behind eddie. he drops a kiss to eddie’s bare shoulder.
“mmhmm,” eddie hums, and steve can hear the smile in it.
“hey,” steve says, before they both fall back into sleep for a few more minutes. “i love you, too, by the way.”
“oh yeah, by the way?” eddie snorts.
“better than ‘i love you, dude.’”
“oh, you think so?” eddie shifts in steve’s arms until he’s somehow gotten on top of steve, holding steve’s wrists above his head. steve can’t help but thrust his hips upwards in eddie’s direction. “yeah, okay,” eddie concedes, breathless, grinding his own hips downward. “you’re right. whatever you say, beautiful. can’t argue with that. super compelling argument.”
steve has to kiss him just to shut him up.

- forging bonds -
Pairings - Clarisse La Rue x Fem! Hephaestus! reader
An - i had a random burst of inspiration and just wrote and it kinda ate
Tumblr media
Slamming your hammer down onto the bright red metal you tried to fuel all of your emotions into the forming weapon. You were mad, mad at clarisse, mad at silena, mad at everyone.
It was like there was a dumbass curse placed on Hephaestus kids since this isn’t the first time it’s happened. You liked clarisse a daughter of ares, she not only flirted and spent time with you practically leading you on all while you helped fix her dumb fucking spear just to see her kiss silena a daughter of Aphrodite at the fireworks show.
Throwing the hammer to the ground you breathless looked at what was supposed to be a sword, in reality it was a bent and curved mess. Hot tears filled your eyes, it hurt.. a lot.
Your hands were gripped at your side as you held back tears, tears that you refused to let fall, tears that you refused to waste on a bitch like clarisse. Being so caught up in your thoughts you hadn’t realized when pair of comforting arms wrapped around you; shocked you looked up to see your brother Charlie.
Realizing that he was hurting to you turned to hug him back. There was a comforting silence for a while that neither wanted to break. It stayed that way until you gave in. “I’m sorry about silena” you mumbled sighing upset.
“It’s whatever I doubted a girl like her would of even given me a chance Anyways” he tried to play it off but you could tell he was hurting just as much. “Sorry about clarisse… I knew you really liked her”
You Just shrugged. “It’s like You Said i highly doubt Someone like her would of given me a chance” after a moment you patted Charles back while moving away. Looking down and seeing your mangled mess of metal you gave an annoyed sigh, picking it up and throwing it back into the pot watching as it melted away, secretly wishing your feelings could leave that easily.
“Let’s Just get dinner” You threw the rubber gloves and tossed the apron aside, rolling your shoulders back while walking towards the dining hall.
Leaving the pavilion you rubbed the side of your neck. It wasn’t a wonder clarisse wanted silena, she was beautiful. Everything about her was perfect and if you were in her position you’d want her as well.
Wandering around you found yourself in the forgery once again. A place that you could go to and build everything only for your main source of creator to be gone.
“Figured you’d be here” turning around instantly you saw clarisse walking in, her Hands in her standard camo pants.
Rolling your eyes you shook your head walking away from her. “Get lost— the forgery is closed” You almost demanded.
Clarisse Held her Head slightly low almost like she was embarrassed. “I uh I came for my spear” she managed out.
With you back facing her you tried to just hide the growing tears in your eyes. Of course she came for her weapon.. that’s probably why she even fucked with you in the first place, just to get her damn spear fixed.
Grabbing it off the wall you shoved it into clarisses chest. “There now leave I have to clean up” your voice broke as you weakly pushed her out.
Turning your back to her once again you walked to the mess you had left earlier starting to pick the discarded items up. Setting the gloves into a drawer clarisse spoke up one again. “I didn’t mean to hurt you it’s n—”
“Can You Just Go! I don’t want to see you right now come back when you have a weapon problem” you didn’t want to hear her bullshit or her poor excuse for a sorry. Silence filled the room for only a few seconds before you heard a loud snap.
Instantly turning around you saw clarisse toss her now in half spear in front of her. “What is wrong with you!” You almost screamed quickly dropping down to grab the broken weapon, tears coming up as all your hard work was wasted. “Are You Fuc—“
“You said to talk to you when I need weapon help so my spear is broken can we talk now” clarisse shouted crossing her arms and glaring down at you. Her spear was her everything so her breaking it in half had to of meant something important.
Picking up the two pieces of the stick you nodded walking over to your working station.
Clarisse stood beside you as you got to work. “I didn’t mean to kiss silena” she sighed, at first you wanted to scream at her because you don’t just not mean to kiss someone but instead you just kept quiet. “I know your mad at me but.. fuck I don’t know why I kissed her I just did… I really like you YN.. I swear”
She reached out to touch your hand only for you to pull it away. “Basically you just kissed silena Just because you could but it’s ok because you actually really like me?!” You looked over at her pissed off. “Make up your fucking mind clarisse”
“I have!” She quickly responded. “It’s you I want you, look silenas great but her heart is set on Charles just like mine is on you, I’m not the best with words but I broke my gods damn spear just so you would talk to me!” “Please.. I realize I fucked up and I know I don’t deserve another chance but please”
You’ve never seen clarisse plead for anything. Seeing her beg for you to give her another chance broke your heart some. Closing your eyes you placed your hands on her biceps squeezing her arms gently you creased your shoes stepping up to kiss her. You shouldn’t of forgave her this easily but you knew your heart and you knew you couldn’t deny her.
Clarisses arms found themselves on your waist as she turned her head pushing the kiss to become deeper. Her tight grip and her gentle kiss both shocking you some though you played to her strengths to. Letting your hands lace into clarisses hair she pushed your back into the table.
Breaking the kiss just to catch her breath clarisse muttered between you both. “I think I love you.”
“What?” You breathlessly asked. Clarisse quickly let go of you embarrassed and cleared her throat. “I’ll see you around babe uh bye” she awkwardly left.
Babe?! I love you?! You knew you were done for, this girl has completely won you over. With a flustered sigh you turned around starting to work on her broken spear again. Making a silent vow that if she did actually break your heart again she would never have any weapons fixed again.

SwapFindr (Pt. 2)
Tumblr media
It had been a week since the swap, and the silence from Andrew was starting to gnaw at me. I’d reached out twice now, casual messages just to check in, see how he was adjusting to my life. No response. Not even a “hey” or a thumbs-up emoji. At first, I told myself he was busy—maybe wrapped up in the gym routines or trying to nail down my daily rhythm—but as each day passed, the more unsettled I became.
I stared at my reflection in the mirror, the unfamiliar bulk of Andrew’s body staring back at me. It still felt weird, like I was wearing someone else’s skin—because I was. His stockier build, his broader frame, all of it was alien to me. I flexed an arm experimentally, watching the muscles shift under the skin, but it didn’t give me the same satisfaction I used to get in my own body. This wasn’t me, and the longer I stayed like this, the more wrong it felt.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I pulled out my phone and opened our chat again. The last message I sent sat there, unread. I typed out another one, more direct this time.
L: Hey, man. Just checking in. Can we please talk about swapping back?
The notification ping startled me out of my thoughts. I glanced at my phone—finally, a message from Andrew. I opened it quickly, my stomach tightening in anticipation.
A: Hey man, sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Been crazy busy. I get it, though—you must be missing this body hard right now. I mean, come on, it’s so fucking sexy. Can’t say I blame you.
A photo loaded on my screen—my body, shirtless in the gym, flexed biceps like I’d just finished a heavy set. The lighting hit just right, showing off the muscles I’d worked so hard to build. Seeing myself like that, from someone else’s perspective, felt strange. And uncomfortable. It wasn’t me behind those eyes.
I typed back quickly.
L: Looks like you're putting it to good use. So, can we swap back soon?
His reply came almost instantly.
A: I would, but I can’t tonight. Got a date lined up. ;)
A date? I felt my stomach drop. I wasn’t even sure why I was surprised, but something about it rubbed me the wrong way.
L: A date? Since when?
A: Well I’ve been seeing guys all week, actually. Hookups mostly - this is the first date. This body is a magnet, dude.
L: Really?
A: Dude—it’s been wild. First night, there was this insanely hot Spanish guy who works at some fancy law firm downtown. Had the nicest apartment I’ve ever seen. After him, there was this frat guy—super built, kinda douchey, but fun. Then a hipster with some really sexy tattoos, and last night was this daddy type. Buff as hell and just the right amount hairy. Kinda gave new meaning to being called a “good boy.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Andrew was living the life I never had the confidence to even attempt. I’d thought about meeting up with Grindr guys before, but always bailed.
L: How the hell do you have the confidence to do that?
A: Dude, it’s not about confidence. It’s this body. Guys are just drawn to it. You’d have no problem if you tried. Trust me, it’s not hard when you look like this.
That stung. Not because he was wrong, but because he was right. I knew my body was decent, but I never felt like I could pull that off.
L: So, you’ve been, like… doing a lot?
A: Haha, yeah, man. Getting bred every night. It’s been a blast.
I felt my heart skip a beat. Bred? Was he serious?
L: Wait, please tell me you’re using condoms.
A: LOL. Relax. I tried to. But man, once you go raw, you can’t go back.
L: What?!?
A: First hookup with the Spanish guy, I told him to use one. But halfway through, I wasn’t paying attention, and he slipped it off. When I realized, he was already deep inside, holding my arms down, telling me how good I felt bare. And honestly… I didn’t want him to stop.
I stared at the screen, my fingers shaking slightly.
A: Since then, none of the other guys have said anything about using a condom … so I didn’t either.
L: Andrew, that’s dangerous. You have to use protection.
A: Dude, chill out, your body’s on PreP anyway. Besides, tonight's a date not a hookup so I wont even fuck him … probably.
L: Andrew, I'm not kidding.
But my message hung there, unread.

ah okay wait i could kinda see hopper with like a younger ish reader and he’s all like grumbly old man about it and doesn’t get why r likes him and reader is just like calm down lets go get ice cream
Your boyfriend has anger issues. Seriously, he’s easy to rile, easier to complain, and he doesn’t like doing things he doesn’t wanna do, which is lots of things, but thankfully isn’t you. 
You offer your hand, butterflies in your stomach squeezing up into your chest when he takes it, his eyes dark with his squared brow. You love being with him in part because he intimidates you, what with his frowning, his uniform, his arguable silly hate. He suits the hat. He pulls it down over his eyes when it rains, a cigarette between his teeth like he’s in a noir film.
“Where’s your hat today, Chief?” you ask. 
He nods toward the backseat. “Why, you like it?” 
“You know I like the hat. It’s a great hat. It makes you look like the Lone Ranger.” 
“I’m never wearing it again,” he says severely. 
“Come on, Hopper, don’t be like that,” you tease back, back of your head dipping back to brush the headrest, your hand right in his. Hopper had this way of making you feel pretty, or cared for? It’s definitely something. He holds your hand and rubs your knuckles and your hand feels pretty, or fine. Not delicate, but held. “I really like it. I meant it as a compliment.” 
“You mean everything as a compliment.” 
You side-eye his muttering. “You know you’re my boyfriend, right?” 
“Doesn’t make any sense.” 
“What, that you’d ever go out with me?” 
“That you’d be with me,” he corrects. 
“That’s really…” You bite your tongue. Perturbed, you crane your neck, kissing the back of his hand softly. Barely a kiss, no smack nor pressure, just a soft brush of your lips. “Hop, I don’t get you sometimes.” 
“That’s what I’m talking about,” he insists. 
“You act like we’re worlds apart. I like you. I don’t get why you don’t get it.” 
He sighs at your small tone. “Don’t take it the wrong way.” 
“Then don’t mean it that way.” 
He glares at the road outside, but he doesn’t let go of your hand. He stays rubbing soft lines with his thumb on your skin, the car speeding fast toward his cabin, snow falling in chunky flakes against the windows. You tuck your other hand over your twined fingers, thinking. What’s the right thing to say? He’s clearly upset believing that he’s not good enough for you, or not right for you, something. 
“Okay,” you say, “alright, here’s what’s gonna happen, handsome,” —he snorts— “we’re gonna go for milkshakes, you’re gonna kiss me up against the car, and I’m gonna tell you how much I like being with you, because it’s true.” 
“In that order?” 
“In that order.” 
Hopper steers the car into a u-turn. “Fucking. Alright, sweetheart. Let’s get you a milkshake.”

Delicate
Aitana Bonmati x fem!reader
kinda short, and a one time take on angst as i conclude i should stick to writing fluff 🤍🥲
Tumblr media
With everything that had recently happened in Aitana’s life; the ballon d’or, champions league and the World Cup, you couldn’t blame her teammates and captain for wanting to try reduce the stress in her life.
Stress being relationships. Most players knew that if you were as popular as Aitana, balancing a relationship on top of all of the media and press you have to do, is not the best idea.
Even though Aitana is now 26, many of her teammates still view her as one of the children on the team, possibly due to her sweet and loving nature, but also her lack of relationships had left the midfielder a bit naive, many of her older teammates wanted to protect her in a way.
So when they heard about you, after Aitana let it slip she had a girlfriend, her teammates were quick to interrogate her about you.
They learnt that you were a paramedic, who had moved from London, but that at team bonding nights you had never crossed paths with her teammates as you had coincidentally had a sudden call, her teammates learnt these sudden calls happened quite a lot.
And although Aitana spoke about you with love and devotion, her teammates failed to notice this as they were blinded with the information suggesting you were added stress for Aitana, constantly leaving, and then coming back late during the night, sometimes you didn’t return at all and went back to your own apartment.
They didn’t realise that Aitana didn’t mind this, as the Spaniard herself was also usually not home once or twice a week for away matches.
———————————————————————
At the next team bonding night, Aitana asked everyone if she could bring you, the Spaniard mainly asked to be polite, but in her mind she couldn’t imagine any of her teammates saying no, she thought they would be excited to meet you as she often spoke now about how serious the two of yours relationship was.
However, the brunette was immediately met with awkward glances and half hearted, silly excuses of why it would be better for you to not come.
The ballon d’or winner was hurt, she noticed her teammate’s unjust dislike for you, which left her conflicted, this combined with her previous fatigued and stressed state, made her patience run thin.
Therefore when she returned home, and you excitedly asked her how her day was, she was quick to snap “fine” at you.
You immediately knew something was wrong with your usually very affectionate girlfriend, who had a habit of smothering you in kisses the moment she stepped through the door.
“Tana? Is everything okay, what happened?” You questioned her, whilst resting a hand on her arm, rubbing small comforting circles on her forearm with your thumb.
When Aitana suddenly shrugged your hand off and pushed past you whilst muttering “Just leave me alone, do not bother me anymore.” you knew that it was really upsetting her if she didn’t even want to talk to you about it.
You and the midfielder hadn’t had an argument yet, so this hurt you as you knew you hadn’t done anything to deserve Aitana’s cold demeanour, which should be used on whoever upset her.
———————————————————————
You didn’t see Aitana after that, she left the house without a goodbye when you got in the shower.
Until at around 5pm, you suddenly get a call to head to the bridge over the river where a car accident had taken place. Most of the paramedics in your area had been sent to a warehouse fire where many workers were injured, leaving not many to attend other scenes, hence why you and your partner, Carlos had been called in.
You were ready and at the station by 5:30, and quickly got in the drivers seat, with Carlos in the passenger seat, as you made your way there you ranted to him about Aitana’s rudeness, and he was quick to back you up, but also try ease your worries witch an explanation of the Spaniard just being stressed.
When you got to the car crash on the bridge, and saw the upside down car about to fall off the bridge, you quickly ran over and cut the man’s seatbelt, allowing Carlos to tug him out.
However as the car began to slip, you were unluckily unable to climb out of the car in time, leaving you in the car as it plummeted into the river.
You must have hit your head, knocking you unconscious, as soon your awake gasping for air at the side of the river, Carlos had been quick to jump in after you and pull you out of the water.
Blood tricked down the side of your head, as you reached up to touch it, a sharp pain came from the cut making you wince and look down at your hand to see blood coating your fingers.
Your breathing still hasn’t returned to normal, and it turned out Carlos had called another paramedic to take care of the man, as he supported you back to the ambulance on the road.
“You terrified me there Y/N, you were under there for 4 minutes, I thought I lost you” Carlos said, as he strapped you onto the bed in the back of the ambulance.
“I’m sorry” you could only whisper, your voice hoarse from your frantic breathing earlier.
“Don’t be sorry, it was no one’s fault, can I call her?”
Her being Aitana, and truthfully you didn’t want to go to hospital, you just wanted to go home and crawl into your girlfriends arms, but you couldn’t as yet again she had gone to another team bonding night that she promised you could go to, but instead never brought up again.
You were annoyed with her, you wanted to get to know her teammates, they were like a second family to her, and you wanted to be apart off your girlfriends personal life, not kept separate all of the time.
When you arrived at the hospital, they were quick to stitch up the cut above your eyebrow, and hooked you up to many machines measuring your heart rate and oxygen levels.
You told Carlos not to ring Aitana, her previous words of “Do not bother me” were still fresh in the back of your mind.
At first Carlos listened, but seeing how anxious and distressed you looked on the hospital bed, made him question your words, and secretly called the Spaniard.
———————————————————————
When Aitana arrived at team bonding, she had gone to sit down and enjoy the movie in peace, except the quiet didn’t relax her, instead it gave her time to think and reflect on the harsh things she said to you.
She knew she needed to apologise straight away, so she quickly excused herself to call you, as you should be still awake.
On her 4th attempt at ringing you, with no luck as it went straight to voicemail again, she was worried, even when in the job, you always answered your phone.
When she returned back to the living room to sit down, the team noticed her nervous state, with her leg bouncing up and down, while she twisted the rings covering her fingers.
“Aita? What’s wrong?” Alexia asked softly.
“Y/N, she’s not answering any of my calls, I was awful to her before I left, I just want to apologise, but now I’m worried about her.”
“Aita, is she really the right one for you? She is probably ignoring you out of spite! So that you leave us and go to her instead.” Alexia added.
“What are you talking about? She would never do that, I know my girlfriend, you’ve never even met her” Aitana glared at her captain.
“I don’t think we want to, with everything we’ve heard, she seems too stressful, always leaving for her work” Patri argued.
With a scowl, Aitana’s protective side shone through, an urge to defend you from the rude words of her teammates, who were completely misjudging you.
“No, that is only once every few weeks, I leave her more often for away games than she leaves me, and she helps me with my stress! Honestly, I don’t see why you all hate her, I thought you would like her after seeing everything she does for me-”
Aitana’s rant was cut off my her phone ringing, her eyes lit up with relief thinking it would be you ringing her back.
The worry was soon to return after seeing the caller id: Carlos.
She knew something was wrong if your partner who she had only met a few times was calling her.
As soon as he told her what had happened, Aitana’s breathing was quick to become irregular, worrying her surrounding teammates.
When she hung up the phone, she immediately asked Ingrid, the only person who hadn’t judged you, to take her to the hospital. Ingrid and Mapi had picked up Aitana, who would have normally asked you to drop her off, except she didn’t want to see your happy face at the time, whilst harbouring the knowledge that none of her teammates were as eager to meet you as you were to meet them.
“Hey, Aitana can you tell me what’s happened first?” Ingrid softly asked her.
“It’s Y/N, she was called to a car crash, but the car fell in the river with her still inside, and she was under for 4 minutes, she’s at the hospital now” Aitana said whilst rushing to the door.
Knowing this, and seeing Aitana’s reaction, the team suddenly realised just how much Aitana cared for you, and were quick to internally scold themselves for hating someone who made Aitana so happy.
Ingrid led Aitana to her car, with Alexia and Mapi rushing in too, insisting they wanted to meet you as soon as possible, much to Aitana’s disapproval, knowing you would likely be tired and want to go home.
When they arrived at the hospital, Aitana ran to the front desk, letting the nurse lead them to your room, but as soon as the brunette laid eyes on you, bile rose to her mouth.
You had fallen asleep, not knowing Aitana was coming, you were so pale and vulnerable, at seeing all of the wires and needles hooking you to the many machines monitoring you, Aitana panicked.
Alexia noticed this and led the midfielder to the seat next to your bed, however this was a bad choice as it gave Aitana a clear view of the large cut across the side of your head, she reached over to softly trace the cut, but was awoken from her daze as your eyes fluttered open, and winced upon feeling her fingers softly running over the cut.
“Amor? How are you feeling? I’m sorry I wasn’t here earlier” Aitana whispered softly, whilst running her fingers through your hair.
“Please don’t apologise love, it was no one’s fault.” You echoed Carlos’ words from earlier.
“If your feeling better, would you please come to our next movie night, bebe?” Aitana asked, which brought a smile to your face, which made Aitana’s heart swell but also ache at the same time, by seeing you so excited for her doing the minimum by letting you meet her friends.
“I would like that Tana, thankyou”
“Please don’t thank me, it’s the least I can do for you amor, I’m just so happy your okay, I was so worried”
“Hey Tana it’s okay honestly, your stressed and I understand that, the media expects a lot from you amor”
At this Aitana kisses your forehead and asks “can I tell the world of us?”
You smiled and nodded your head, happy that your relationship was now no longer a secret from the world.
