I know there's a lot of talk about how childfree people are more free to discuss their wants and lives and lifestyles but there is also a lot of talk from parents (specifically mothers) who feel abandoned by society and let down and as someone who is uninterested in kids yet feels deeply for and wants to improve the material conditions of parents in this country..................... it still feels stupidly and frustratingly selfish and hard to watch a friendship deteriorate because of someone's journey into parenthood and the only societally-acceptable message I'm allowed to take from and communicate about it is "it's so hard for parents and we need to give them grace"
#which is true but it's also like cool I've basically lost a friend#and it's just hard š I wish she had everything she needed to be a more fully realized person and out of survival mode#but there is literally nothing I can offer to help her. she has a husband and doesn't want me cleaning the house or doing anything useful#and also I don't want my friendship with her to just be servicing her house#I dunno. our hangout today was hard. I came over and set uo her christmas tree for her and then she talked about the baby and held the baby#and that's great but like. it's all about the baby. where is our friendship. I get so sad when things change#ah well.#being left behind when your peers hit all their life milestones is really hard

Hi, I hope youāve been having a good day! Can I please request a Sova that goes absolutely feral when you pull on his hair during sex... like he's a whole new man when you do that. The thought has been invading my brain and it won't leave hdjwkkdkd
-Sova lover anon
Ngl at all i be giggling and kicking my feet even thinking about this šš Thanks so much for waiting for me and i hope i do not dissapoint. Love uuuu <333
<<<Reader is she/her. MDNI.>>>
Im lost with words iykyk with Sova (nsfw)
It always starts slow and affectionate with Sova. We know him. He knows himself too. He knows that he is a little bit of an overgrown man (190ish cm long like holly shit boy what did your babushka feed you?) and he doesnt want to overwhelm you with himself.
But if you press his buttons, yeah, he switches a bit fast.
When he gets the 'fuck me hard' signal from you he doesnt care. You are under him now.
For him, its his hair getting pulled by you. Its like a wordless signal between both of you. Does the job perfectly so why need to ask for it, right?
The second you grab a handfull of his beautiful long blonde hair and pull it, he growls from the very deep of his throat. His body lovering over you for you to feel his weight on you more. Mhm. He got what you want for sure.
"You want to do it my way, darling?" The russian accent with the word 'darling' sounds deep near your ear. You know our giant bear. He gotta make sure even if he is too much over to control himself.
His moves are much over and about controlling you and your body. He is playing with your buttons too but mostly like a 'dim red light sex at midnight' kinda sex iykwim. He is rough but not ROUGH rough. Just the perfect amount to make you squirm under his body.
He can overpower you so easily he cannot lie that this doesnt turn him on. Pulling you in, stretching your legs, lifting you up and everything. And the sounds you make for him while he does these things? He could listen to you all night long. (Thats totaly not the reason he likes long sessions with you.)
This man has the highest stamina in the protocole if it wasnt for kay/o. He climbs up an down on snow for a daily basis. He is not letting you go anywhere if you dont use the safe word and make him stop yourself. If you know how to tire him then its another story.
You swear the first time you two get close like this, you thought that he had no experience whatsoever but now you realize you are so damn wrong. He may not look like he has experience but its all because he wants to make you feel alright and safe in his hands. But if you want to give the control all into his hands, then he will gladly take it from yours.
Kisses, hickeys, bite marks all over your body. Did i mention he has no shame? I guess i did on another one of my posts. I will say it again. He has no shame. He will look proud if anyone notices the hickeys he left over you. They gotta know that he knows how to do his job.
If you were to ask him about how he likes being in charge, he will laugh and just say a simple "yes, i do". Maybe his cheeks will get a little red but not because of embarrassment, its because of he lies how much more he likes it. This man LIVES for these moments.
(I wish i had a Sova for myself š)

I had so much fun writing this up as I drank my coffee this morning, thanks for making the templates @kiwiplaetzchen š„¹š
A little bit of backstory for Eloise - Iāll do an actual drawing etc etc in the future but for now if youāre interested!!:
Eloise has a brother, Leonard (Leo) who is a year older than her (I want to draw him soon!!) and her parents are both (unfortunately šš) still very much alive. If the family had continued to the 1930s, they would DEFINITELY have been part of the Sacred 28, making it the Sacred 29 instead. Her father was an only child so he inherited everything, and her mother is Elladora Babbit nĆ©e Black, the woman who started the Black family tradition of beheading useless house elvesš (and yes unfortunately that makes Headmaster Black Eloiseās uncleš«).
Eloise was kept a secret from the rest of magic society her whole life. In my imagination, the pureblood families have so much inbreeding amongst themselves that itās not uncommon for them to give birth to squibs. Part of pureblood culture is not announcing theyāve given birth to a child until theyāve shown signs of magic - normally around 3/4 years old at most. When Eloise never showed ANY signs of magic, she was just their shameful secret. On her eleventh birthday when it was all but confirmed she was a squib, she was burned off the family tree and spent the next five years at a muggle finishing school. Always looking to take advantage of whatever they could get, however, Eloiseās parents arranged a marriage between her and the firstborn son of a wealthy muggle landowner when she came of age.
Her family had no idea that she was admitted to Hogwarts (they cut off all ties to her and disowned her) and Leo, who had always been fiercely protective of her growing up was simultaneously devastated and ecstatic that he could see his sister again. Itās been really hard to repair the relationship though, as there is a lot of resentment that they cannot get over even though they want toš. And, for as much as her parents dictated everything about how her life has gone, Eloise canāt help but try to work hard to get their love and approval as itās all she ever thought she wanted. And now that sheās in a position to become the daughter theyāve always desired, she feels a lot of resentment towards herself. She feels as if sheās betraying the young girl who was abandoned by her family, because she wants their approval so badly (it will take a while for her to get over thisšš)
In terms of the personality I did it a bit like the sims where I just max things out bc I think everything in the middle is boring jajajaja. But:
Shy: not shy in the sense she canāt talk to other people and she isnāt necessarily socially awkward. She just doesnāt always know what to say and will remain silent if she thinks she has nothing to add to a conversation instead of yapping away (BUT unfortunately rambles and over explains herself to not be misunderstood when she does talk, THANKS narcissistic mother), and normally she wishes people would ignore her. When the Daily Prophet article came out about her āmiraculousā recovery and introduction to magical society she HATED it & she HATES all of the people trying to talk to her and befriend her.
Active: NOT active as in super energetic. She just wakes up really early and always needs to keep herself busy. She gets anxious if she doesnāt have anything to do - but, she includes thinking as doing something, and often retreats into her thoughts and doesnāt realize when people are talking to her.
I think grouchy and nice can exist together so with this one I put it in the middle. Sheās both simultaneouslyš
Aaaand with cowardly/brave, she thinks she is really cowardly for going back to her parents so easily and wanting their love so badly, and hates herself for it (not realizing itās an accumulation of a lifetime of emotional trauma). But lots of times when things get very high-stakes she will jump in and do incredibly reckless things without thinking of the consequences, although if she stopped to think before she acted she would definitely NOT do them. So maybe brave in actions, cowardly on the inside (IDK)
If you read all of this I love you!! I want to share more about her but this was getting crazy long jajajajajajajašš
#a (not so) little introduction of Eloise#probably in my drawinfs Iāll keep treating her like a historical fashion barbie jajajajajajaj#but I wanted to share a bit of her as a personšš#hogwarts legacy#hogwarts legacy fanart#hphl#hogwarts legacy mc#hogwarts legacy oc#eloise#my editing skills are so bad I feel like there was an easier way to make thisš
#and sorry I rambledššššš#eloise babbit

How it feels to be ignored PT2
Dazai x Reader šāļø
The plan was never to get back with Dazai, but since no one wants to break up with him, there are two versions š
No chuuya in this one unfortunately š couldn't think of how to do it.
Part 1
No one could read his reaction when he opened and read your letter. His face blank, entirely void of any emotion. It was a little unnerving, and Atsushi was hesitant to ask what was wrong - what had happened.
He didn't say anything, but his eyes found two certain individuals who ovbiously knew what this was about.
He brushed Atsushi off saying nothing has happened and left the office, in spite of kunikida's protests.
He walked aimlessly for a while, thinking on where he could have possibly gone wrong, what had happened. He really wished he could see you right now, that you'd just appear infront of him so he could ask you what he had done to make you leave him.
But... when had he last seen you? He remembered a walk, and a goodbye kiss on your doorstep- which at the time you didn't seem all that interested in, and he had originally put it down to you just being tired. That had been... how long ago now? A few days? A week? No, two weeks. He had messaged you twice during those two weeks between then and now.
He sends you a message asking if you can talk. But 5 minutes later he's already lost his patience and is anxiously dialing your number, waiting for you to pick up the phone. Maybe you'll tell him its all a joke. But dazai is a realistic guy and knows that's not happening.
---------------------------------------------------
BAD ending - you don't get back together
A week later and he's at your door, he gets there just as you leave - he stands behind you as you lock your door, announcing himself quietly so he doesn't startle you too much.
You don't startle at all, but you also pay him very little notice, simply greeting him with a quiet hello and moving to go on about your day
"Can we at least talk about this?" He asks. It pains you how desperate he sounds, but...
"What is there to talk about? You've clearly moved on with your life since the Mafia, leaving your past behind - a past that I wad part of... It's time I move on too"
He doesn't... get it. He's moved on from the Mafia... he didn't mean to move on from you too
"What do you- why?"
"Weeks Dazai. Sometimes, it takes weeks for you to remember I'm even there. Everywhere we go, everything we do - I initiate it, I invite you in... sometimes you came, sometimes you didn't. Usually you were far too busy to remember that I was always there, waiting"
He tries to remember the last time he asked YOU on a date, and took YOU out... it had been a while indeed, and he was starting to recognise his mistakes, you could see the gears turning as he realised he'd been so caught up in his new life, that he'd forgotten he dragged you along with him.
"No more Dazai. I'm moving on, so you can move on too"
-------
He doesn't. He doesn't move on, a year later and he still thinks over your last conversation. Occasionally he asks Yosano how your doing, knowing she kept in touch with you.
You have a new boyfriend - that's what she told him. You moved on, found someone who always has time for you. Someone who helped you out after the breakup. She won't say who, but he has an inkling. And honestly? He's glad.
He sees you occasionally too - you look happy again, the happiest he'd ever seen you infact. Perhaps it was for the best that you left him, that he hadn't kept holding on and stringing you along with him.
Your new boyfriend is someone he knows, someone he never thought you'd go for. Someone he'd never expected to chase after you. But he did, and that makes him hard for dazai to look at. But he'll manage. He always does.
---------------------------------------------------
GOOD ending - you get back together
He was outside your door within a week, knocking frantically - it was unusual for him, but he was desperate. He needed you back.
You were on the otherside of the door getting ready to go out, slightly panicked by the frantic banging on your door.
You were hesitant but opened it slowly, until you saw who it was, where you then straightened up and opened the door fully.
"What?"
"Not even a hello?" He tried to play it cool.
But you know better.
"Get on with it? What do you have to say?" Being cold to him hurt. But it's the only way you'd get through this without throwing yourself into his arms full of tears.
He takes a deep breath.
"Look, I'm... I don't want to break up with you. I don't want you to leave me..."
"Okay? And?" You could feel your defences slip when he flinched ever so slightly - the briefest show of vulnerability only you ever saw.
"I get it. Why you want to leave. I've been... distracted. Caught up with other things - a whole new life. And I forgot, I brought you into this with me. I put you in danger, wether or not you know it, and proceeded to act as though you weren't there. I... understand if you want to leave me-"
"I did leave you"
"Let me finish" he takes another breath. "I don't want you to leave. Maybe it's selfish, but I don't care, I just can't let you go. After everything"
"But you can't just keep me around here waiting for when you finally decide you want to show up! I can't wait for you forever Osamu"
"I know that..."
"We rarely spend time together, and when we do it's only because I asked and you remembered I exist. I can't deal with it, it just feels like... your leaving me behind too, like the Mafia"
He didn't know what to say, for once, he was speechless, but he knew he had to come up with something, anything to get you to stay.
"I... love you, please..."
You could feel the tears in your eyes, spilling over. You had to hold it in, but couldn't.
"I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. I promise, just give me a chance and I'll make it better, I'll see you more, I'll pay more attention, anything you want, just tell me, and I'll be there"
Forming words was hard, all you could do was nod and move in to hug him. You loved this man with your whole heart, and you truly believed he loves you too. Even if he slipped up, you don't think those feelings ever did leave.
For that reason alone, you were happy to give him another chance.
-----
He did improve, of course he did. After your... tearful conversation, you let him into your apartment, anabdoning your previous plans.
And it got better. He spent more time with you, and a year later you moved in together.

I totally get I just finished my exam week (I had to do a math test at 8am Satš). Wish you luck tho!
Also do you have any good buddies fics? Destiel too?
Math test at 8am is BRUTAL
Thank you I will definitely need itšš
Unfortunately I only have buddie fics to offerš:
(Warning I do like a fair amount of angst)
Right where you left me - by hyacinthusbloom ( @thebloomingheather on here) - when I say I might be as big a fan of this fic as I am of the show I MEAN IT, you do not even understand how much I love this fic or how obsessed I am with it, I have reread it so many times despite it still being in progress that I think I may genuinely qualify it as addictive, me and @estheticpotaeto legit wait for updates like a dog at the authorās door istg, like everything about this fic is flawless and written with so much love and emotion and the way the writer captures the effects of trauma is just amazing because itās so rare to find this level of diving into ptsd and the more uncomfortable aspects of it that are more taboo or less understandable to people, like I can yap for an hour about this fic but Iāll just say READ IT
Any fic by daisies_and_briars ( @cal-daisies-and-briars on here) but one of my favourites of his is Both blade and branch and muscle memory and four can keep a secret and appetency and the two sheās writing right now (change the prophecy and steal my sunshine) -wow at that point I shouldāve left it as any fic because thatās a lot of favouritesšš
Any fic by @loserdiaz plus with them you get enough lighthearted fics to even out the angst
Ooo Iām not sure what their username on here is but lizzybizzyzz is also another writer who I just love their fics
Fractals by hobbitprincess - one of those fics that make you squeak at how much love these fictional characters have for each other
Beneath my mother tongue by archerincombat - the angst the writing the way they hit every single emotional beat? Amazing
Anything by this_is_moony_lovegood
Leave the light on (Iāll be coming home) by HMSLusitania - the presumed dead Eddie fic of your dreams, a constant reread for me itās just š
Anchored by adorkable_buddie - sorry Chris you gotta be injured sometimes just for us to get our buddie dreams hope you understand and we appreciate your sacrifice šš«¶
empty, broken, lonely, hoping by daniweb - when I tell you I love the presumed dead trope you best believe Iām telling the truth because the ANGST?? Yes please, LISTEN itās the closest you can get to the emotional beats of killing off a character without ever killing them off because you love them and happy endings too much so TIM MINEAR TAKE NOTES I KNOW YOU SAID YOU LOVE THEM TOO MUCH TO KILL THEM, anyways back to to the point this fic again is just flawless execution by the writer like absolutely love it
every time we stop talking (the universe starts screaming) by withmeornotatall - emotional destruction and I absolutely love it, divorce era 2.0 and it HITS
Home is where it hurts- by rileyblue2001 - can you tell I hate the Buckley parents because I HATE the Buckley parents
The one with the return of the sex addiction by buddiefication (pumpkincreamcoldbrew) - Iāve reccomended so much angst so have a funny little light hearted buddie fic with the father bobby vibes we all loveā¤ļøā¤ļø
Okay back to the angst tho šš- out of ashes by Ashavahishta - AHHHHHHH THIS FIC JUST AHHHHH STOP THE WAY I WOULD DIE FOR A FOLLOW UP FIC TO THIS AHHHH I LOVE IT SM AND ITS LEGIT A ONE SHOT I CRIED SO HARD
Falling Slowly; Sing Your Melody (Iāll Sing It Loud) by Princessfbi ( @princessfbi on here who I also love sm of their fics so highly suggest just going on their page and looking through all the fics) - absolutely love it, legit gave me brain rot and got me obsessed for a GOOD while
I'm comin' back, don't let me go by wikiangela ( @wikiangela on here also love love their fics again so check them out but this one is probably my favourite of theirs)
Okay this is looking more and more like a uni reading list so Iām gonna shut up now but I hope you enjoy these fics and that a few of them emotionally damage you like they did me because I love to spread the joy (see: pain and suffering) š«¶š«¶

would you like to write something like:
modern abby and her best friend are both working on their athletic careers but trying to always be there for each other!
until one day- volleyball player! reader had an important game and abby forgot about it, going out with her friends after her training session! but when she goes (running) to the place of the match there's no one other than a sad reader (her team lost) and they start arguing but then abby kisses her š
[thank you for everything you post š¤ wish you a lot of happiness (and yes i'm in love with your acc)]
would i like to write something like this??? ughhhhh... yes please, baby. I'm sorry it took me so long to get to the request... i have just been in such a rut recently but sexy abby anderson can always break me out of it.
let's go :)
warnings: fem!reader, alcohol, love, mutual pining, tongue sucking and some making out, an ass grab, boobie talk, a baseball reference
the match wasn't going the way you wanted needed it to. it didn't matter how many points you won, the other team just seemed to do one better... and it was eating at you.
and what was worse? you couldn't see her in the crowd.
abby. your best friend. your personal cheerleader. nowhere to be seen. and that somehow felt worse than all of your hard work training for this match going to waste.
the referee blew her whistle long and hard, signalling the end of the game as the other side of the net erupted into cheers and celebrations, and it broke your heart. you had lost before, you were a well-seasoned athlete in your last year of college, a professional contract just out of reach, but each loss hurt just as bad as the one before it.
but if a loss was a broken heart, a forgotten promise was your heart being ripped out; she swore she would be here, at the back of the bleachers where she usually sat, her fingers crossed in the hope that you would once again lead your team to victory. instead, she was...
---
... at the fucking bar. her teammates all crowded around a table, pizzas and vodka-sodas covering the expanse of the dark wood as they all celebrated a successful practice and a week free from competition.
abby had gone a little too hard, she and her co-captain jokingly practicing their victory speeches and doing a shot or two of tequila before falling into an easy yet slightly slurred chat.
"so, you going to that party becky was talking about tomorrow?" abby asked, throwing her pizza crust onto the tray in front of them and taking another drink from the waitress who offered her one.
"you mean the party on friday?" her friend laughed, jokingly sliding abby's drink away from her, hinting at the fact that abby might have had a little too much.
she couldn't help the chuckle that burst out of her lungs at (what she thought was) a joke.
"yeah, tomorrow." abby paused, her eyes widening, "tomorrow is friday."
"abs... tomorrow is thursday," was what she heard, solidifying her nightmare.
but it still took abby a good 30 seconds to take in the news, and another 30 seconds to realise the grave mistake that she had made; wednesday, your match. shit.
---
the steel of the door smashed against the palms of her hands as she flung the sports hall's door open, rushing inside and making it only to the edge of court before she saw you, head in your hands and weeping. if abby listened closely enough, she could hear your quiet sniffles.
"everyone else's friends managed to come," you rushed out, albeit quietly, only just lifting your head enough to meet her eyes, "so you better have a damn good excuse."
abby dropped her head, her right hand automatically sliding around the back of her neck to try to expel some of her awkwardness and guilt. she didn't say anything, she couldn't, because she had no reason good enough for upsetting her best friend.
"nevermind. i can smell the fucking tequila from here." you raised your voice, letting your anger take control as you shoved your sports bag onto your shoulder and made to leave, only making it two steps before abby came up behind you, grabbing your wrist.
"i have no excuse, okay? i forgot, and i'm sorry." choosing the honesty route, she let the words hang in the air behind you, your eyes still pointed away from her.
"we lost, abby." the anger that was once at the wheel wasn't there for long as your earlier disappointment floated back into your head. you stepped back into abby's chest as she laid her chin on top of your head and wrapped an arm around your chest, your back plastered to her front.
"i'm so sorry, honey."
"i needed you here, abs." you whispered, turning around in her embrace to look into her eyes, your arms instinctively going around her waist, holding her closer.
it happened slowly: that first look down at your lips, stealing the words off her tongue as she shot her eyes back up to yours, seeing that they too were now pointing down slightly. and then she couldn't stop herself from leaning in closer, and closer, until your mouths touched gently, your recently glossed lips sliding over hers.
she had once thought about your first kiss, thinking it would never come but hoping so desperately that it would. it would be soft and slow and tender- and it was all of those things, for the first ten seconds.
and then abby felt your hand slip into her hair behind her braid and your breasts squish against her hard chest, your nipples grazing against hers through your sports bras.
you made abby lose it; sucking her tongue into your mouth and sucking on it, tasting her desperately as her hands slid to your ass, squeezing roughly and making you yelp and lose contact.
"okay okay, wait," you said, a hand on abby's chest, keeping her at bay. "i'll forgive if you let me go to third base."
abby laughed, out of breath, "i don't play baseball but you can eat me out."

just finished watching batman vs the teenage mutant ninja turtles and tumblr you have failed me. WHERE IS THE CONTENT. i have so many feelings about this movie and they may be incoherent but here we go. bit of a longer post so i cut it here
first of all this is probably my new favorite piece of batman media i loved almost everything about this movie.
starting the movie off strong with my wife barbara gordon. she was so funny in this movie and i loved how much of her smarts and fighting skills were shown cause she can do it allll.
bruce was a little grumpy but when he eventually came around and listened to raphās speech and agreed that theyāre a family i was like š„¹š„¹ this is the batman i wanna see.
mikey and alfredās friendship šš would love to see alfred actually using mikeyās skateboard.
speaking of mikey I LAUGHED SO HARD THE ENTIRE TIME CAUSE OF HIM šš his entire vibe killed me lmfao. he was so unserious and i love that about him.
donnie came through as usual and him and babs being the smart duo who wear purple was very nice it made me smile. also it was very cute how often he hid in his shell.
raph was impulsive as usual but he also came through like always. i didnāt expect him to be the one to give the speech but i realized it was actually very fitting.
damian was a little whitewashed unfortunately but his very obviously going through puberty voice was adorable cause he kept trying to be intimidating but i couldnāt take him seriously. i thought he would mention that raās was his grandfather to the turtles as a shock factor but it didnāt bother me all that much. i liked his team up with raph bc theyāre both secretly softies on the inside.
leo i love you sorry i donāt have a lot to say but keep being eldest daughter coded.
i do wish the rest of the batfamily had been there cause i think it wouldāve been nice to see how similar they are to each other and also just explore their dynamics but if we get a sequel maybe they can do something about that. i wanna see jason and raph team up (if jason is red hood in this universe). and maybe HOPEFULLY (not very hopeful at all š) we can get the ENTIREE batfamily introduced. i know itās based on comics and stuff though so i donāt know how they would work that out iām just rambling. oh i also think we should see splinter!! he and bruce could bond over their teenage vigilante children.
idc about everyone else but i will say raās saying āmaybe another needs to dieā in reference to jason was UNCALLED FOR.

death note headcanons
because i know my death note mutuals arenāt getting what they wanted from me
light
-can crack his elbows the way one would crack their knuckles
-probably had to do a musical elective in his first year of middle school and chose guitar cause he thought it would be easy but it wasnāt.
-the type of song he really enjoys is very specific. going to hell yet i tried so so hard to please god song. i missed my only chance song. why wasnāt i like the other kids song. thrones playlist. i could elaborate but i wonāt
-as for sexuality, i see him as not wanting to put a label on whatever he is in theory but in practice being some type of bispec (probably berriromantic) for romantic attraction and then somewhere on the asexual spectrum for sexual attraction.
-as for gender i see him as agender whose not really in labeling himself as anything when it comes to sexuality and gender.
-agender but probably 100% fine with being super male presenting. he just wants to keep out of gender as a convo and thatās great. good for him
-no!!!!! i refuse to say this mf is aromantic (because itās not accurate and itād be an insult to aromantic people to say heās aro)!!!!!
-just because he manipulated misa and kiyomi into doing his bidding and didnāt love them doesnāt immediately make him aro. iām sure he could have found someone if he wanted to, and he could have loved them if he was with them to love them, but he wasnāt with them to love them he was with them to use them.
misa
-half belgian half japanese. her parents met in belgium while her father was on vacation.
-also im torn bcos i wanna write an au where misa is mexican and thatās it everything else is the same as canon but iām pretty sure thatās just me wanting her to be even more Like Me (tm)
-speaks a little bit of english, way more french, and obvi japanese. finds linguistics interesting but doesnāt have enough time to research it that thoroughly
-likes being short and āsmallā small girl aesthetic i guess but sometimes wishes she had longer legs so she could wear skirts w/o looking silly and short
-panromantic does not see gender at all when becoming attracted to someone. i see her as def on the ace spectrum, maybe something like demisexual or aegosexual. could be me projecting dunno.
-sheās probably dated both girls and boys before
-would NOT break up with someone in a rude way or just dump them. sheād put a lot of effort into an apology and explanation into why.
-if she met miu iruma theyād be best friends. sorry i bring danganronpa into everything guys
-can we please just appeciate mexican misa for a second. sheās cooking sopa de fideo for the task and being the bilingual hot girl we all needed
-mexican misa
-as for her music taste she probably listens to upbeat english language music and sappy love songs. āthere is a light that never goes outā and āmelt with youā sound like go-tos for her sorry. i could also see her being a bimbo pop ayesha + britney manson girlie though
-tbh whatever your race/ethnicity is you could project it onto misa and itād work. i love it. anyway d d d d d d d did i say m m m mexican misa
-i think sheād love love love getting her hair done!!! sensitive scalp mf but sheād still love getting her hair done
-mexican misa visiting mexico and getting braids and cute clothes and her fave candy
-was not a theatre kid. sorry guys but her middle and high school didnāt offer theatre šš
lawliet
-chronically dehydrated just because he forgets to drink water. he tries to drink water and always gets afraid of developing kidney / liver problems but he just keeps forgetting. what the fuck L
-soup stan i think heād love some good soup. soup stan x soup cooker (lawmane)
-i think you could have a really deep convo about anything with L. if youāre passionate about anything heāll just listen and heāll talk to you about what heās passionate about to. he loves to think and would def entertain you with a convo about whether a hot dog is a sandwich or something dumb like that you know.
-heās a thinker he just loves discussions
-has a british accent when speaking english bcos watari and lived in england you know. he thinks british accents in english sound good tho and LOVES making fun of how silly new york accents are (me too bro. me too)
-if he went to middle school or the japanese/british equivalent of it, heād def be the type to choose some weird ass elective fucking creative writing instead of the ānormalā guitar, choir, band, orchestra and shit

can u write a angst, just purely angst with absolutely no emotion except for anxiety and sadness its abt bill and how heās been distant along 2x with reader and some random girl. and one day reader finds out and confronts him while him not gaf and just leaving her with no worries while the reader is in her lowest point ever.
sorry if itās to long š
Somebody that I used to know
PAIRINGS: Bill x Female reader
CONTENT: Angst
SYNOPSIS: You discover that Bill has been lying to you
WARNINGS: cheating, fight and a bit of panic attack
You and Bill never had the perfect relationship, it was just normal like the all couple. You would fight and disagree about some things, you would make up and fight again.
You had your differences, but you always respected each other, at least that's what you thought.
When you started to feel Bill acting distant you thought it was all in your head. Maybe he really was just tired, after all that was what he said. There was no point in doubting him after so long you have being together.
But it was hard to ignore the feeling that something was wrong when it happened every time he was away for work.
You didn't want to play the annoying, jealous girlfriend. Damn, you were never like this. You even found some of the fans' comments funny.
All of this just made you wonder more and more if you were wrong. You felt deep in your gut that something was wrong and you felt so bad about it. The disconnected mix of feelings. Because you think Bill doesn't love you like he used to and is slowly moving away. Fear of being ungrateful when he doesn't deserve you to doubt him.
All this agony and doubt ended accidentally. Tom and Bill were finishing a song in the studio and you had just prepared a snack for both of them. You entered the room silently with the intention of not disturbing them, but instead of working, the two were arguing and didn't even notice your presence.
āItās not fair to do that to her, you fucking know that.ā Tom shouted angrily pointing his finger in Bill's face who looked more bored than anything else.
āYou donāt have to get involved in this, it has nothing to do with you.ā Bill responded with a shrug.
You looked from one to the other trying to understand what was going on. They fought sometimes, of course, like any siblings, but it was so rare especially at the level of yelling.
āAnd what are you going to do when she sees the photos? You know at some point itās going to get to her.ā Tom said and all your doubts, the repressed and confused feelings, everything you had been feeling for the last few weeks made sense.
You weren't crazy, a voice whispered inside your head.
And for a moment you wished you were, you wished all your paranoia was just that, paranoia. Because it would be easier to overcome and much less painful. But no, it was clear that Bill had cheated on you and as if that wasn't enough, you were finding out about it because of his brother. It was so humiliating.
"Shit." You heard someone say and when you looked at them again they were both standing there staring at you.
You didn't know how to react and the only thing you could do was turn around and leave the room as silently as when you had entered. You were so embarrassed. Mainly because of the way Tom looked at you, with so much pity.
You wondered how long he had known. Did the other boys know too? Damn, he talked about a photo. If this is on the Internet then everyone knows. You laughed when the phrase 'the betrayed is always the last to know' came to mind.
You dropped the tray with the snack on the kitchen counter and ran to the bedroom. Your movements were so automatic that you felt like you were teleporting. You took out your cell phone to look for anything, any evidence. You needed to see it. It sounds masochistic, but it's hard to believe that someone you've known for so long would do this to you.
It wasn't very difficult to find. It was everywhere. Bill and another woman together, so close it would be questionable and then in the next photo he is whispering something in her ear while holding her waist and in the next they were kissing.
You held your breath trying to swallow the lump that formed in your throat. You could feel the tears streaming down your face, your hands shaking as you stared at your phone until the screen went blank and you could see your pathetic reflection in it.
Bill entered the room and stared at you for a few seconds. No guilt or anger at being caught. There was nothing. He didn't even seem worried about you. He didn't even say anything.
You felt your heart burn even more. Because, what did you do to deserve so much indifference? What did you do to be treated like this?
You watched as Bill grabbed one of the suitcases and began to put some of his clothes inside.
āAre you just going to leave?ā You asked with a choked voice. Bill paused for a moment but then started arranging his clothes again.
You left your cell phone on the bed and walked over to him.
"Answer me." You almost begged as you grabbed him by the shirt forcing him to turn towards you.
You looked at him and he looked back at you. Nothing! You wished he would at least have the decency to look away. Of seeming to feel something. Could it be that you were really so blind and never realized how cold he could be?
Your head was a mess. Why was this all happening out of nowhere?
You continued to feel the warm tears running down your face and you hated that you were crying so much when Bill didn't even show any reaction.
"No." You took a breath and squeezed his shirt tighter. āYou canāt just walk away like that.ā
Bill grunted. āFor Godās sake, sunshine, why do you have to be like this? Canāt you just leave me alone?!ā
The nickname made you cringe because you knew he said it out of pure habit and there wasn't any meaning behind it.
You looked at him for looking for anything, any indication of contradiction. Because sometimes your expressions are more real than the words that come out of your mouth. But again there was nothing. Nothing deep in those eyes that enchanted you so much.
āWhat the fuck do you want to hear instead, huh?ā He moved away your hand that was holding his shirt and went back to packing his suitcase.
The feeling of hurt was slowly turning into anger inside you.
"Anything." You spoke louder, moving to his side so you could look at him. āSay it was a mistake, say it wasnāt, say you were drunk, say it was my faultā¦ anything.ā
When he didn't react, you took the suitcase from his hands and threw it away, the clothes scattered around the room.
āYou canāt just walk away without saying anything.ā He tried to free himself from your grip, but the grip on your fingers was rock solid.
Your mind was so messed up, you just wanted him to react somehow. You wanted him to hug you and tell you everything is going to be okay. You wanted him to scream at you. Anything would be better than this total indifference that made your heart hurt.
When Bill tried to push you away again you screamed. Pain, anger, frustration and disappointment burned inside you.
"Say something!" You kept yelling at him.
āI donāt know what you want me to say, I donāt have an explanation.ā It was the only cold answer he gave you.
You approached him and started hitting his chest, which didn't seem to have any effect on him. āI want you to react! Say something, fight with me, justā¦ā You screamed as you cried more.
āStop that sunsh-ā You slapped him in the face before he could finish the nickname. Bill grabbed your arm.
"Don't hit me." He whispered to you, tightening his grip on your wrist.
Refusing to listen, your other hand snaked and you tried to hit him again. ''No.'' He warned again, this time holding both of your wrists tightly against the wall above your head.
The two of you stared at each other for a few seconds without saying anything. And it was then that you realized that nothing you said was going to change his mind.
It hurt to realize he had no regard for you. Not even to think you deserve an explanation. No, all he gave you were lies and a quick way out so he wouldn't even have to interact with you.
Bill let go of your wrists and slowly pulled away from you. He gathered his things that were on the floor and simply left without even looking back.
You felt your body slide down the wall until you were sitting on the cold floor. Your body collapsed as you cried uncontrollably.
You imagined that your relationship would end one day, everything always ends, but you never thought it would be this way.

Thoughts I had while watching episodes 6-8 of Bridgerton Season 3. Yes, I finally watched all of Bridgerton. Yes, I have many thoughts about episode 5, but I need more time to compose them. Don't read more if you don't want spoilers.
Episode 6
-Yay Francesca & Lord Kilmartin. I adore this couple almost as much as Polin.
-Eloise & Pen's first real talk in Pen's bedroom. Maybe they'll get their friendship healed.
-Violet & Lord Anderson š
-Why does Lady Danbury despise her brother?
-That little dance in the church ššš
-I get why Cressida did what she did. I would've done anything to avoid marrying an old creepy dinosaur as well. But she just makes everything worse and worse.
-That talk between Portia & Pen. I suspect it is supposed to be sweet, but I hate it, especially after seeing how things have been in the past. I don't trust or like Portia.
-Violet unable to show Francesca & John the same level of excitement & love as she gives Polin is hard to watch.
-Pen's sisters suck.
-I really, really, REALLY wish Colin had known the truth before he proposed & they had sex. That is something they changed from the book, and not for the better.
-Oh lord, Cressida is a horrid writer & both she & her mom know it š¬
-Benedict is not handling Anthony buying his place at the art school well. I hate that Benedict is denying his creative abilities. The man has talent and he's so hurt and doesn't believe in himself anymore, and it hurts to watch.
-I think what I hate most about Portia treating Pen decently is the fact that I can't believe it will last, nor do I think that Portia is being genuine. I think this is all cause she's trying to keep Colin's favor. And it frustrates me. Because Pen deserves better.
-The unfolding flower thing was cool.
-Oh boy, I feel so bad for Francesca. She just wants to be with John & be happy. Definitely bringing up some feels from my own engagement.
-Lady Danbury & her brother š
-i hate aimless Benedict.
-Colin twirling Pen is everything. I love happy twirling.
-I really appreciate the deaf representation this season.
-Cressida's red dress would be stunning if not for that horrendous giant bow.
-Colin is going to be writing so much smut for Pen. I guarantee it.
-Pen not wanting Cressida to take credit for all her hard work, boy do I feel that.
-I get that the queen is supposed to stand out from everyone else, but her dresses seem to be from a completely different time period. Like, I know that the costumes aren't necessarily period accurate, but wouldn't everyone be trying to match the queen's style of dress?
-Peneloise ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
-Ok, writing with a quill & ink in a carriage seems next to impossible to write something legible.
-Colin's face on discovering the truth š
Episode 7
-This fight. Oh god, Colin's crying. Pen's crying. I'm crying. This is brutal.
-Pen's issue of LW calling out Cressida 10/10.
-I've said it before and I'll say it again. I would watch the Lady Danbury & Violet show.
-Colin & Eloise's talk ā¤ļø
-Really, Colin? You are the one who was alone with Pen countless times, constantly sought her out at events, ruined Debling's proposal, left her without prospects, & she "entrapped" you? I think not.
-I can't decide what I feel about the Tilley & Benedict & Paul storyline. Was it necessary?
-Flustered Violet getting called on by Lord Anderson is adorable.
-At least Cressida seems to feel so e remorse, though if they go the book route she will be all blackmaily by the end of this episode or the beginning of next.
-"Our mother adores you!". Benedict I love you.
-I really like the Mondrich family. Will loves his wife so much.
-I love Genevieve & Pen & wish we had more interactions between them.
-"No such thing as true love without first embracing your true self.". I think I need that on a shirt.
-As a very short girl, I love that they show Pen standing on raised areas to be more eye level with Colin.
-I'm glad Pen called him out.
-Welp he really was going to try to finger her on the street. Poor boy is so in love & horny even when he's mad š
-Kate & Anthony sitting Colin down š„¹
-Kate. I just. I love her.
-The little wave Anthony gives Kate as she leaves him alone with Colin š
-I am glad Lady Danbury & her brother are clearing the air.
-Lord Greer with the mansplaining of a nom de plume.
-Colin when he sees Pen in her wedding dress š„¹š„¹š„¹
-OMSquee that veil ššš
-I know people go on about the carriage scene, but the wedding vows are so beautifully done. I will be rewatching that many, many times.
-Holding hands. I love it!
-Pen's sisters being nice is just as weird to watch as it is for Pen to experience.
-"A lot of dust in here too" š„ŗš
-So they're shipping Kate & Anthony off to India?
-Oh, Pen, I too know those feelings of new husband off talking to others and ignoring you during the reception. It sucks.
-I love the shot of them dancing with no one else around.
-Anthony, do not ruin your mom's chance at happiness. I will be very cross with you if you do.
-The queen interrupting what should've been a Polin kiss š¤¬
-I get that she's the queen, but this is shitty behavior.
-Eloise is proving to have learned to be a better friend, and I'm proud of her. That hug ā¤ļø
-This is the season of Polin and on Polin's wedding night we have Benedict's threesome? Really? I don't mind the threesome, I applaud Benedict embracing his bi-ness, but couldn't they have done that in another episode?
-Great, Cressida is up to no good again.
Episode 8
-Colin, Colin, Colin. š¤¦š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļø
-Rae with the promotion to housekeeper. She deserves it.
-Yup, they're going with the blackmail plot. They kept that from the book, but didn't have Colin learn the truth of LW before the carriage make-out & proposal? I am definitely salty about some of the choices this season.
-Cressida, I get that you are at the end of your rope and are making poor life choices, but I really hoped that you'd grown as a person.
-The love I have for Lady Danbury is more than I can express.
-Also, that is a gorgeous chess set.
-Phillipa & Prudence's husbands. These poor guys.
-Francesca, I too long for the quiet.
-These threesome scenes seem almost as unnecessary as Colin's brothel scenes in part 1.
-Ok, Colin, your speech is beautiful, but you don't know how shitty Cressida's dad is. But also, that defense speech ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
-Peneloise is back and I love it.
-I am done with this fucking threesome. I am here for Polin content. They couldn't have waited for Benedict's season to do this???
-Lady Danbury & Violet ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
-And more of the threesome. I am beyond done with it.
-Oh, Polin the separate sleeping arrangements š
-THE LETTERS.
-Oh hey, they're not going to leave the solicitor as a dangling plot thread. Wondered if we'd get more from him.
-Francesca & Violet ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
-Violet & Lord Anderson. They are absolutely precious.
-The piano duet ā¤ļø
-"The house is far too warm.". š³šš³š
-THIS IS NOT BENEDICT'S SEASON. I'M SO FRUSTRATED. POLIN SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE SCREENTIME.
-Ok, but I am so happy for more Benedict & Eloise on the swings. I've missed that this season.
-Pen's family does not deserve her.
-Oh, Pen, you have me in tears.
-Colin is so proud and in love š
-I really enjoy Finch.
-Well, with the blessing of Lady Danbury all is much better.
-"That was bloody brilliant." š„¹š„¹š„¹
-Violet dancing š„¹š„¹š„¹
-Did Francesca just fall for her husband's cousin???
-What was that??? 6 seconds of Polin smut? So much Benedict threesome and we get barely any Polin? Boo, I say. Boo.
-These babies are all giant.
Season 3 Part 1: Very Rewarchable
Season 3 Part 2: Oof.

NYX #2 Review
Spoilers!
Sadly this is a week late- life has been getting hectic and my subscriptions on Kindle never seem to work lol (I had originally meant to write up commentary on the podcast episode before issue two dropped and still havenāt finished it š)ā¦ but letās dive in!
The issue starts with Laura monologuing as she takes down some random thug.
Youāve probably ALREADY saw the sample pages of this issue (especially if you follow my tumblr lol) but the girl Laura is trying to save doesnāt want to leave with her, saying theyāre āfriendsā and that if Laura needs help too, she just needs to go ālocalā (Foreshadowingā¦.Lauraās bad taste in men possibly strikes AGAIN šš¤£)
We see Laura hanging out at some dilapidated place in East Harlemā¦(what happened to Loganās old apartment that she shared with Gabby? Did they sell it during the Krakoa eraā¦because Logan PROBABLY had locked in rent from like the 70āsā¦that was a horrible decision Lauraā¦like do you know HOW hard it is to find non-brokered housing in NY anymore??!)Ā
Laura is thinking about Kiden (and in goth clothes again!) as she tracks down some mysterious figure (sadly not a green telekinetic!) in Bushwick (also shout out to one of my favorite spots in NY!)ā¦
At an underground club, weāre introduced to Local. Local isā¦interesting (people werenāt wrong about the Gambit comparisons lol). Laura convinces him to get her a call with Localās boss, Mr. Smileyā¦but Kamala randomly pops up with Anole and Sophie in tow!
Laura gets pissed as Kamala tried to talk about the āmysterious telekineticā (Laura doesnāt want to talk about her previous secret EX Kamala!) and calls them āKamalaās little friendsā (DONāT be MEAN to ANOLE, Laura!); telling Kamala to stay out of it and not blow her coverā¦.
Laura has fun committing crimes with Local; obviously reminded of her time with Kiden. (If Laura had a crush on any girlā¦it was PROBABLY Kiden guys lol)
Localās last challenge before she can meet āMr. Smileyā is stealing whatever is in Orchisās Essex building; Laura challenges him that for everything she breaks, he has to tell her some truth.
Itās a kind of sweet and interesting moment, where readers get to see how easy it would be for Laura to slide into the old ways of āX-Forceā or āNYXāā¦
Yet Prodigy drops reality on Laura- that this isnāt who she is anymore. You canāt live in the past.
Laura meets Mr. Smileyā¦who is reallyā¦.you guessed it! (I totally didnāt lol!)ā¦Mojo!
Laura gets beatenā¦BADLYā¦and retreats.
(Also we get one of the LOVELIEST panels EVER!)Ā
The issue ends with Laura realizing that she canāt do it alone- contacting Kamala and Sophie.
Ā Review:
I for oneā¦kind of wish we had gotten a Laura solo issue this time around; I think it was needed and could have been akin to āZuko Aloneā, Loganās āPatchā era, or X-Men # 182, where Rogue breaks into Shieldā¦itās been a while since writers really explored Lauraās psycheā¦
In some ways the weird pop up of Kamala drags the story a bit- this should have just been written as happening weeks before issue #1, in my opinion.
While I liked the endingā¦it somehow felt too soon a realization for Lauraā¦I kind of wish they had played with the ālonerā bit, dragged it on a little bit longerā¦
Another tiny critique- I really canāt stand Laura swearing. So many writers try to make it workā¦but it just doesnāt work. It just doesnāt really suit her, in my opinion. (Stop trying to make āfetchā happen lol)
Still, I think this issue is really solid. Laura is really nicely written and itās probably the closest weāve come to Kyle levels in a while.
Laura realizing āyou canāt go backāā¦.is something thatās really great to play with. Itās something everyone struggles with, when the āgood timesā pass. Laura canāt move on from her pastā¦yet she canāt go back to it either. She canāt be the person she was.
Local also definitely plays into Lauraās nostalgia of Liu era adventuring with Gambit as well as Kidenā¦ it makes sense why she would gravitate to him.
I actually like the addition of Local and hope he ends up being a regular (much better than Catwomanās recent terrible love interest!)Ā
The Prodigy ending was a sucker punch and REALLY wonderfully done! Using David, an old NYM connection as a source of guilt (and David ALWAYS was the voice of reason!) was really excellent; even if there wasnāt much interaction between the two in the original NXM. The only thing that COULD have made it betterā¦was if it had been Dust, Mercury, or Elixirā¦but thatās a nit pick.
NXM was the turning point for Laura, so it makes sense that someone from THAT time would āwake her upā a bitā¦.
Overall, I would say itās definitely a solid issueā¦I think thereās minor things they could have changed, but itās still a better āLauraā than we have seen in a while.
Theories:
Mojo is totally going to use Local to get to Lauraā¦
Krakellionās mission is deeper than making NYC the next Krakoa; theyāre actively fighting against Mojoā¦

pleaseeee give us more bigender jamie thoughts the concept is too good
Bigender Jamie my belovedā¦.
He uses he/she pronouns <3 she doesn't mind they/them (pronouns are like. not very important to her honestly. she probably couldnāt tell you what a pronoun was if you asked LMAO) but she just doesn't really connect with gender neutrality/androgyny as much as she does with manhood and womanhood as separate and coexisting entities yk
When Jamie's super little, he starts asking Georgie why there are only boys and girls and he can't be both, and instead of jumping to tell him that's just the way it is (because she wants her bub to be a free thinker. obviously), she thinks about it for a while and is like. Well. I donāt know. I suppose you can be both if youād like? And Jamie is like āok :) yay :)ā and runs with it
Georgie lets Jamie wear/do whatever he wants. Sheās a very busy woman and simply has bigger things to worry about than her child wearing a pink shirt or whatever the fuck. As long as she can afford it, she'll buy it for him, because she's just trying to keep him happy and pay the bills yk
So Jamie amasses a small collection of what he calls āgirl stuff," like these types of things
which he absolutely loves and has so much fun w. He's never pressured to identify any certain type of way or change anything about himself, always allowed to experiment, and he's very comfortable until he meets his dad
James starts coming around again when Jamieās like 10ish, and heās horrified by Georgieās lax stance on masculinity and makes Jamie break/cut up/throw out her "girl stuff," because he doesn't think it's at all appropriate for his "son"
Having to destroy his favorite clothes and toys while his dad berates her is super traumatic and completely alters his perception of her gender/gender as a whole. When it was just him and Georgie, Jamie sort of took it for granted that he had room to experiment and didnāt realize that most people really donāt think itās okay, and so it's a big shock and really forces her into the closet for a long time
Then she starts at the academy and everything around her is super masculine all the time, and she really tries put it behind her and convince herself that it was a phase and she doesn't have any need to indulge in that part of herself, since she's comfortable as a man and doesn't exactly feel disconnected from manhood
But as hard as he tries to convince himself otherwise, he always feels like he's missing part of himself. He's content with the life he's living and absolutely loves being one of the lads, but there's just something missing and it's undeniable and uncomfortable and always bubbling below the surface
So she's stuck in that limbo until she starts dating Keeley. He shows her an old picture where heās wearing a Cinderella costume at daycare or something and tells her how he used to want to be āa girl and a boy at the same timeā + about the āgirl stuffā and how James made him destroy it, and he recounts the whole thing like itās a funny story (because thatās just how he processes things) and is expecting Keeley to laugh with him, but she just gives him this really sad look and tells him she's sorry that happened to him and she hopes he feels comfortable expressing himself authentically with her
Which he doesn't at first, but he acclimates, because Keeley is willing to meet him halfway and work it out with him <3 She does his makeup on occasion and they experiment with phrases like "good girl" and "girlfriend" and even subtle public expressions of femininity like jewelry and nail polish and "women's" soap/shampoo, which Jamie really loves mixing with his generally masculine presentation
At one point Keeley asks her if she thinks she's a trans woman, and she's like. ":/ I don't think so, like I don't want to be a woman all the time, I just wish I could be a lady without having to give up being a lad šā
And Keeley of course is like "oh like bigender?"
She says it like it's nothing, but it's the first time Jamie's ever heard that and he had no idea that that was a real option and genuinely feels like he's found something he's been looking for his entire life and literally almost cries
(You can't spell "lady" without "lad" <3)
So Jamie starts to get Girl Stuff again (including some early-aughts nostalgia items identical to the things that James made her get rid of, which is very healing) and present the way she wants to present and has never ever been happier and finally feels whole
I have a LOT of thoughts about Jamie's gender identity and his relationship with Roy and the internal conflict/shame that would arise from that, but this post is already soooo long so you guys will have to let me know if you want me to talk about all that in another post
She's mostly pretty comfortable with her body, so she forgoes gender affirming surgeries, but she does start estrogen in her mid-late 20's, which is a game changer because it makes it easier to present feminine when she wants to while also allowing her to present masculine when she wants to
He doesn't really ever come out to the team, because that's not his style. They can figure it out on their own. (If you assume she's cis that's on you etc.) And they do!!! Dani starts calling her "amiga" on tuesdays thursdays and saturdays and "amigo" on mondays wednesdays and fridays or something like that lmaooo
He does come out to Georgie and Simon tho <3 Georgie is not surprised at all and takes to adding "baby girl" and "my daughter" to her repertoire very quickly, and at the end of the day she's the person whose opinion matters most to Jamie, so it's just a huge weight off his shoulders
(Simon makes her a bi flag cake and is like "love is love <3" and Jamie is like. Hm. Well. Thank you. You're a little lost but thank you)

Hi! I have some questions for you. First, Rank the Hawthorne brothers:
1st:
2nd:
3rd:
4th:
Now, your most favourite character from the whole series :
Your least favourite character from the whole series:
I really want to know whether or not we think on the same wavelength about these characters or if I'm the odd one out. Last question, who are the characters that you wish had been mentioned more in the series, as in, their relation with Avery?
hello!! sorry it took me so long to reply but I have been heavily debating my answers. these were such good questions and it was so hard to decide!! but I feel like my answers are gonna bug youā¦
Hawthorne brother ranking: I CANT DO ITTT, I ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY CANTTT IM SOOOO SORRY
like genuinely love them all the same and I cannot choose, I had tried (hence why it took me so long to reply) but it was impossible šš
I mean if youāre talking boyfriend wise: Grayson would be my first choice but I would not mind any of them, literally if they existed Iād be lucky to get a side glance
favourite character: you know what this is so difficult for me because it literally changes daily šš and it is so dependant on my mood but Iāll give you a top five
Gigi is my babyyyy, I love her to pieces!! sheās so bubbly and cute and sweet and I literally just want to hug her to death, but at the same time her character is so much deeper than that and she hides all of her pain. (and Iām a sucker for an emotionally traumatised character thatās trying to bottle everything up until they have to break).
okay this might get me hated on but Iām allowed to have my own opinionā¦ I personally love love love Savannahā¦ WAIT NO ONE KILL ME YETā¦ I just think sheās such a girl boss, I love a strong independent woman who fights her own battles. also I love her pure confidence and how she also bottles her emotions in a more cutthroat way than Gigi, I love her coldness (I probably sound like a mentalist), idk I just love her and her intensity, itās just so alluring!!
oh also tell me why nan Hawthorne is my literal idol?? idk I just love her. her energy is everything, sheās so cool šš idk I have an emotional attachment
I know I said five but weāre counting the Hawthorne brothers as a whole here (one whole split into quarters so itās like 0.25 each). Grayson, Jameson, Xander and Nash are all spectacular in all different ways and I could sit here and book on why but I wonāt bore youā¦
I know I literally just named half the characters in the book but overall if I had to give one answer I would have to say that Avery is my favourite character, call me predictable or clichĆØ but I worship that woman and sheās such an amazing character
Least favourite character: this is the one I feel like I can give a straight answer on. I mean itās the obvious E*e, Em*ly and Tob*as, like ew hate them.
oooo okay hottakes now (yay)
I feel like we donāt get enough of Libby and Avery just being sisters, like I need more. me and my sister are super close and I want to see that in those two. they have so much potential, I know we get snippets but after the first two books it kind of fades a bitā¦
obviously I want to see Lyra and Avery become besties because I feel like theyād bounce off of each other, like theyāre both super smart, both (practically) dating a Hawthorne brother and I think theyād have such a cool friendship
idkkk but I loved the Avery/Xander dynamic from the hawthorne legacy (I think thatās when those two bonded more, but I might be wrong) so more of that would be amazinggg
and I know this isnāt about Avery but honourable mentions bc I want to see more Gigi and Xander being plutonic besties and also more Gigi and Savannah moments. I would also LOVEEE more scenes of just the four Hawthorne brothers bc those are always hilarious and they just gel so well together.
but now Iām practically naming everyone in the series, sorry for my waffle and not-straight answers šš but thanks for asking <33

I love them so much
Both joined before the Venice accident, obviously. They only met after Phoenix had met the omega Jett so he didn't quite like her and Jett blamed him for her reputation being ruined. The issue was solved a week later because both of them liked DC.
Is Jett's name Joon-Hee or Sunwoo?š
I'm gonna use Sunwoo bc it's easier to typeššš
Sunwoo has a skincare routine that she follows religiously and every weekend her and Jamie have a spa day. She likes taking care of him and he loves to see her happy.
After the Venice incident, Jett was having a really hard time with everything. Phoenix helped her and offered emotional support and the young friendship she needed, that's how she started liking him.
Phoenix never really figured out when he started liking Jett, after they became friends it was so natural to like her romantically.
Despite loving each other and being so important to each other, they are on their early 20s and are impulsive, they break up over the smallest things but always get together again after a week.
They started dating before Skye joined the protocol, Reyna was the only one who knew since they didn't want Sage, Brimstone or Viper to find out, the non fraternization rule was going on after all.
After Raze and Killjoy's first discussion, Tayane asked them for advice and Jett told her to break up. She didn't break up.
Bi4bi
20yo
22yo
Since they were so close friends before starting to date, they have a friend-like relationship. Looking from the outside, one could doubt if they're friends or a couple.
The transition from their friendship to their relationship was very smooth so when they started dating, things didn't really change much since it was all already natural to them.
Middle brother of two sisters
Younger sister of a brother
Sunwoo isn't really close to her brother but she still texts him every once in a while to check if he's well. If he says he is she wishes him death.
Jamie is very close to his sisters and he calls them every week to check on them. They're also kinda close to Sunwoo, even though they never met in person
Jett's parents always made it clear that they preferred their well behaved, lawyer, straight, "normal" son over their tramp, criminal, queer, weird daughter and because of that she's not close to her family
Phoenix's hair is all well cared while Jett's hair is all damaged from the bleaching, east Asian water and the lack of care she takes.
Sunwoo has dated both men and women in her teenage years while Jamie only dated her. It was not lack of crushing.
They have a time at the day that they take to be with each other with no one disturbing them. Usually at one of their bedrooms, just cuddling
Despite their very caring relationship, in public they are more spontaneous and mess around with each other

feels like a very dumb ask as its not related to your timewarp au but do you have any darragh and sean headcanonsš
catch me jumping through the inbox seeing darragh and just jumping ahead through my queue i promise fellas i am working through it
it was only ever sean and darragh. sean never really asked because he knew that lots of boys didn't grow up with mothers and he was so lucky that darragh tried so hard to make sure he had everything he needed instead of sending him to the workhouse
... sean's mother was actually the daughter of one of darragh's political opponents who happened to be a unionist sympathizer. while she was never going to be mrs macguire, when she realized she was pregnant she very merrily followed her father's wishes to go to a mother's home but used every ounce of influence being upper class to tell darragh he was a father and he was absolutely not letting his son fall into an adoption scheme or left to die of neglect
sean absolutely never learned this because the implication is his mother was in fact at least partly english. he is not the pure irish terrier he assumes and that would probably kill him -150% max hp in psychological damage
darragh macguire, the ever complex articulate highwayman who could also run circles around politicians and protestants in civil debate vanished entirely from public eye for the first two years of sean's life. there was no parenting courses let alone fathering courses and while his gang were an extension of his family much like the VDLs he did not tell a single one of them he was a parent because he knew they would see having a child as a distraction from the cause.
he didn't know how to change a diaper or look after a baby. learning to bottle feed a baby was his personal nightmare. sean absolutely had a murder bottle. darragh absolutely put a touch of whiskey or opium medicines on the nipple almost daily to get sean to settle for a few minutes of peace.
he lost days worth of sleep watching sean wondering what the holy hell he was doing trying to look after a baby and sometimes convincing himself in a 'i'm not a bad person wishing my son dead but the fact is most (80% holy hell) babies do not make it to two years old'. he kept the cash on hand to pay for a funeral at all times even if it meant them both going without necessities
he only figured out supporting a baby's head because thankfully sean was as vocal as a baby as he was as an adult and basically became his own life alert.
it wasn't until sean was approaching two, already in the full throws of the terrible twos running around the house squealing his favorite word being screaming NO!!! in response to any question and a hurricane of energy and bad choices climbing up furniture and the walls, while darragh is trying to sit and read hiding his coping beverage behind the paper, that darragh actually realized oh shit i am a da. this thing is not leaving my house and oh no i love him
any conversation with sean was the classic trying to tell a story while jingling keys in an attempt to keep him focused but once finally darragh accepted he was in fact the sole parent of this bundle of constant self-inflicted bruises from his own clumsy recklessness he very much embraced it
yes sean did his absolute head in: trying to plan a heist as he refound his outlawing roots while kid is tugging on his pants asking a million questions and demanding his attention to show him cool rock/bug/glass bottle/DA LOOK A KNIFE :D
darragh would regularly forget sean was a child and not in fact bulletproof. throwing sean too high in the air accidentally dropping him and sean lands on the ground peter griffin style only to bounce up with a blood nose screaming again again again!!
sean was only four the first time darragh took him out on gang activities instead of leaving him in the care of a trusted neighbor and it was a core memory. he held his son simba style and let him throw the match that proceeded to set a landowner's fields ablaze
darragh was a goofy parent being a responsible adult was not natural to him like imagine young john if john actually cared levels of stupid. sean could say the dumbest thing and darragh just nods thoughtfully yes let's we absolutely should go sling rocks through windows and run away, yeah i reckon if you flick a spoonful of mash potato at me i can catch it in my mouth let's try it
bedtime stories were just darragh reading unionist handouts with voices and the pacing of a picture book 'the poor irish boy was so hungry his raggedy clothes fell off because they were too big for his scrawny shoulders but the big nasty fat englishman still said he needed the food more!!' sean was indoctrinated into anti-british sentiment before he could even write his name.
