Okay, now I'm sure I didn't click on send when I wrote the review (I mean the "ask" 🤣😅), I remember writing it right after I read the chapter (which was about 4 weeks from now) but it seems I forgot to send it to you, my bad. Anyway, here it is:

OMG! I couldn't stop laughing at how the girls and the boys reacted to the "Maybe Baby"! 🤣 Especially Buttercup and Butch! Seriously, how do you come up with these ideas?! Don't tell me they gave you fake babies in school, too! 🤣 But really, I loved this section of the chapter. It was both funny and informative to these horny teens! And by horny teens, I mean Kim! xD Maybe this will make her claim down a bit. I loved how Buttercup reacted when Butch turned off the fake baby. I can already see she will be a great mother. And for Blossom & Brick... yeah, the "world" is really rubbing it in their faces now with whole little girl thing. I did notice Blossom at being honest with Brick while trying to make the image of the leader to Buttercup. I noticed both of them do the same thing actually; Brick is maintaining the image of always being in control (just like you mentioned to me before about how his brothers view him) and Blossom trying to appear that way for the same reason. Whether it was intentional on your part or not, it's really something I like to see in the Reds and love when it gets explored; the whole leader/big sibling mentality.

And oh boy! We got a new villain! Esmé was it? Yeeaaaaah, this one screams Sedusa! But I won't jumb to the conclusion just yet becausee it seems this lady can "manipulate" (as she described it) both men and women. Either Sedusa powers increased or this is a whole different person. It seems she can also manage to get the ppg/rrb on her side somehow! Except for Brick.... HUMMMMM?! Why is my boy Brick not affected by her? Does it have to do with his DEMON PWO- okay, I will stop. 😅 xD

Oh yeah! I almost died laughing when I read the girls reaction to the Professor french kissing Esmé! I don't care what this woman did to him. The PPG should never EVER let him live this one down after all the restrictions he put them through with their boyfriends! 🤣🤣🤣

I'm so excited to read the next chapter. Can't wait to see who is Esmé and what her attentions are. What will become of the blues (didn't forget about their little drama). Why is Brick not affected by her "powers"? And most importantly, will the Professor be able to look in his daughters eyes after this incident? 🤣

Again, sorry for just sending this message now. Take care now.

Heyy, don't worry at all! I'M sorry for taking soo long to respond to you. I'm glad you enjoyed the Maybe Babies! It wasn't written from experience, I just know it's a popular 'trope' I suppose in a lot of US, high school tv shows etc so I thought it'd be interesting to watch them all muddle through it 🤣 I toyed with the 'bag of flour' idea initially but I knew only Blossom, potentially Bubbles, would take that seriously. It needed to scream in order to get everybody's attention 😈

I really like the big sibling/leader/maternal/paternal thing with the reds too - I love writing Brick as reluctant on the surface but cares deep down too. He's got a soft centre - you just gotta dig deep 😊 We do got a new villain! & I'm gunna keep it short & sweet on that subject as I don't want to give anything away 🤐🤣 I will be updating this week for definite - early next week the very latest but I promise chapter 6 is coming. Thanks for sticking around 🤍

very interested in what u thought of butch and sundance, what were ur fav scenes and have u read on the dodge candle_beck most importantly

Oh my god, everyone look away i'm about to post 500 words.

I thought the film was hilarious, it was all fun and games until the bittersweet end. I thought butch and sundance were such bastards (affectionate), and sundance was such an ass, loved all of his bitter remarks. We didn't really get proper backstory on these guys and we kinda get thrown into their world, but they're very fun to follow, also huge boyfriends energy and I feel like the subtext was so heavy handed lmao maybe i'm projecting my gay wishful thinking everywhere but.. everyone i ever heard talking about these two knows it, so it can't be just me.  

My favorite bits: 

The fight scene in the beginning where one of the members of the gang wants to lead instead of butch. especially "when it's done, if i'm dead – kill him” - "love to" *waves*, very sexy moment.  

When the cops in the street try to get people to come help fight the hole in the wall gang and butch and sundance watch it all from the nearest balcony lmao. Then butch kisses a woman and sundance is like I have to leave immediately skjfhkajs that bit is so..... okay.  

Etta polycule 

When they're robbing a train, and a woman comes out saying "i'm a grandmother and a female and i've got my rights" 

When butch is once again about to hook up and sundance says don't ask me to stay sjkhfkjash okay. 

When they ride on one horseback together, and when they ride on 2 horses but as close as possible. and from all of their convos it's like have you guys ever attempted to do anything separately... 

When they're trying to see who's after them from very far away and they're like do you see he's wearing a white straw hat 

When they jump into the river, sexy moment.

My all time favorite bit was the montage in the middle of the 3 of them in new york, other cities possibly idk. it was so funny bc it's literally always the 3 of them together in every image ejkafhkjs. Cause that's not weird or anything. Then some kind of party and the camera pan from sad butch to sundance and etta, like ok.... did he cry. 

When they tried to rob a bank and read the script for the robbery from a piece of paper cause no hablo español 

The last shootout and them continuing their stupid banter till the end, i'm so fond of them.://////// stop giving each other sweet looks, u're being shot at ://// 

Also considering it's from 1969, i think it aged really well 

Lastly, i'm ashamed to say but i've not read on the dodge by our lord and savior candle beck, but obviously now i must.

8 greens if you would!!

“Saying I love you completely randomly”

This was really fun to write, hope you enjoy!

Buttercup found solace in routine. With her life being as hectic as it is - one could never know when a monster would decide to traipse over from monster island or if Fuzzy Lumpkins would suddenly decide that his property now included a large camping ground on the outskirts of town - it was nice to know that some things never changed. 

She woke up at the same time every day, went through her exercise with Butch at the same time every day. Afterward, they would always shower, usually, they would also do that together but sometimes Buttercup was in a rush and she didn’t need Butch to...distract her from getting ready for the next part of her day. They would eat breakfast together and then be on their separate ways.

Most people would look at her and Butch, the hot-headed, impulsive ones in their respective set of siblings, and assumed that the two thrived in chaos. That they loved that kind of spontaneous life. While Buttercup and her boyfriend did work well in chaotic situations, didn’t mean they liked to be in it twenty-four seven. In fact, Buttercup surmised that was the reason why she was secretly an orderly freak - only second to Blossom. Everything had a time and a place. Butch understood, he subscribed to the organized schedule and home life just as much as she did. There was only one thing in their life that wasn’t structured and organized outside of crime-fighting. And, as cliche as it sounds - and believe it, Buttercup hates cliches - that one thing, was their love. Or, more specifically, declarations of their love.

Buttercup wasn’t exactly sure how it started.  Well, maybe that was a lie, she did know how it started. Butch noticed how much BC would blush and stammer whenever he told her he loved her and eventually, he started saying it at the most random of times just to get a reaction out of her. At some point, it just became normal and BC would do the same in return. It was their thing. 

That had started back in high school. They’d graduated college by now and were beginning to settle into the rest of their lives together. By now, those random I love yous meant a thousand and one things. Of course, they truly did love each other and each admonition carried that knowledge with it but also always an undertone of something else.

“I love you” Butch would say before she flew off to handle the monster of the day. The unspoken, be safe, drifting in the air between them.

“I know,” She would give him a soft kiss before disappearing into a streak of lime green as she went off to do her job.

“I love you,” she whispered into the darkness as the two lay wrapped together in the dark. She’d gotten into a particularly bad fight with Blossom at dinner that night and was still reeling over what had happened. She couldn’t bring herself to say what she truly wanted to - “thank you for being here for me even though I make it really hard some days. But she knew he understood.

He whipped her silent tears before answering,

“I love you more,” he pulled her closer and she fell asleep knowing what that had meant as well - I’m not the easiest to love either; thank you.

Sometimes it more simple was that. One time Butch had brought her lunch at work without her having to ask when she’d left her own at home.

The breathless “I love you” that escaped her mouth between eager bites of the burger he had provided held no undertones except for a simple thank you. 

Butch’s answering chuckle caused a smile to spread across her face. She loved his laugh. She loved pretty much everything about this man.

Her sisters remarked on their thing a lot - the more random the cuter they thought it was. 

Buttercup distinctly remembered a time where she, Butch, Bubbles, and Boomer were headed to a fair for a double date. She’d been sitting in the front seat next to Butch who had been driving, Bubbles and Boomer talking quietly in the back. BC had been singing along quietly to the song on the radio, her hand over Butch’s on the gear shift when suddenly he’d taken his eyes off the road to look at her,

“I love you,” he said.

“Butch!” she’d screamed, “eyes on the road dipshit before you kill someone!”

“Not until you say it back,” a shit-eating grin had taken over his face.

At this point, Bubbles and Boomer had directed their attention to what was going on.

“Butch! Turn!” Boomer’s yell didn’t cause Butch to turn his eyes back to the road at all.

“ Oh my gosh, I love you, you idiot!” Despite the situation, Buttercup couldn’t help the small laugh that escaped her.

Thankfully, the turn in the road that Boomer had warned about was far enough away that Butch had been able to make the turn safely. 

“Gosh, you two are just so cute!” Bubbles’ giggles filled the car along with Buttercup’s.

“Cute? He almost killed us!” Bommer’s own laughs were more of the I can’t believe I didn’t die sort.

“Calm down Boomie, even if we crashed and hit a tree it would barely leave a scratch on any of us. More importantly,” Bubbles turned to face Boomer fully in the backseat of the car, “ why don’t you do cute stuff like that with me?”

“Because I enjoy living in one peace!?”

Buttercup remembered her sister not accepting that as a good enough answer. 

However stupid or dangerous those types of antics were, Buttercup wouldn’t change them for the world. They were just the right amount of spontaneous to quell that nervous energy that buzzed just under her skin and allowed her to live that structured life she loves so much. And, more importantly, with the person, she loved more than anything. Who cares if their love was a little random or chaotic, it fits them perfectly.

stream of consciousness rant under the cut about teddy

teddy altman is the funniest character in the world because he’s LITERALLY /in/ the civil war event in a single panel with billy where they’re both like THIS IS FUCKED UP BRO! I DONT WANNA BE HERE!!!! and then he’s in the skrull invasion event where he could LITERALLY STOP THE SKRULL INVASION at ANY TIME and he’s just like ‘haha... i’m 16 bro and i kinda... don’t want to kinda busy being gay rn : / its a big time investment’ and thats also incredibly funny

 but whats MOST funny is that all this happens to him, he’s literally an avenger, he has this whole thing with ‘mother’ in ya v2, he’s hot af 21 year old with his whole life in front of him but because he’s not related to any OTHER avengers except for the old captain marvel who is dead as a doornail and who he has a complicated relationship with, he’s like : (((( i have no purpose.... i’m sad... i’m gonna eat pizza bc my boyfriend is cooler than me he has two families : (((( and he’s friends with doctor strange... i’m not friends with doctor strange...

like obviously he just has depression and self-worth issues and such a strong sense of unreality that he briefly believed he was not a real person and was made up by his boyfriend?

but also.

like TEDDY ALTMAN. you FOOL. ur literally a SPACE PRINCE. ur COOL as fuck. stop playing animal crossing and luigis mansion. you can FLY. and SHAPESHIFT. idiot

how are you going to be living the transgay DREAM life and be like : (((( like teddy fucking altman. you wish fulfilment based fool

he’s like the most painfully normal gay guy in the universe like he might be a shapeshifter that has the abilitiy to turn himself into a hunk, but under that. he’s round spongebob with depression. his favorite game of thrones character was tyrion, which means he definitely didn’t read the books, AND he legitimately liked the show and the character of tyrion within it. i will never forgive him for that

i’m giving him a lot of shit here but thats because i’m an asshole. i love him to death. but it’s like ‘teddy u big boob with big boobs. sort ur shit out.’ and he does end up sorting his shit out. but jesus. how are you so normal

i think my problem with teddy & billy in general is they don’t feel REAL to me in a lot of ways bc a lot of their characterization is so by-the-numbers ‘gay’ but also ‘rich’ and ‘popular’ and ‘depressed’ so i like. this is NOT my gay experience. i’m a fat non-binary butch dyke agoraphobe. i can’t comprehend their story because it’s so fundamentally different to my own lived experience. and when i try to make it match up to mine---it feels like billy & teddy are living in a dream world where they have absolutely no flaws bc they’re forced into being ‘charming gay representation for teens to look up to’ and its like. what am i supposed to do with this. with the exception of the gillen run. which everyone??? hates now????? i don’t know. i love them. and more importantly i’m still trying to understand them on my own terms, how they’re written---what they really represent beyond being the most popular two charcters on r/lgbtsuperheroes, beyond winning glaad awards.

like who ARE they beyond billy and teddy. who are they beyond the labels and whats the latest in nerd culture and gay culture pop culture references!!!!

what makes a ‘canon gay character’ ‘canon gay’ and what makes them textured, layered, real? the second one is so much important to me, but how can i distill ‘realness’ and give it to those canon gay characters? how can i make one half of a pair which is about one third of a set make SENSE to me. feel like the gay people i know, feel like members of my community i can relate to and respect without feeling a sense of jealousy, a sense of self-hatred, a sense of being robbed of a universal experience of ‘canon gayness’ that doesn’t and will never exist?

this just has to be my next project tbh. getting back into young avengers, figuring this out.

how do ‘out gay people’ live, how do the ‘popular kids’ live, beyond maligned celebrities and royal families that i understand in their fucked up straightness---how does it feel to be accepted & acceptable and still gay AND MENTALLY ILL?

i don’t know, man! i don’t know! i think maybe i just can’t see the forest for the trees. but billy & teddy feel like too much to hope for in this world sometimes, too soft a story, too kind but also? too... fake? i got issues yall

Aces in Spaces Chapter 7

7 Chapters already??

Warning for slight unrest at the beginning but they DO clear it up and everything is ok I promise they do (literally I can not stand to read angst so please always assume that if there’s a sad part it won’t stay that way, I fully intend to let Erica and Roman end up in the same old folks home)

Erica finds out about the support group (sort of) and Roman has to explain things

Tags: @maybege @sunshinepascal @rentskenobi @obaby-wan @agent-450 @princessxkenobi

Masterlist

Erica decides to meet him at the door. She’d originally entertained the idea of asking him to have someone let her in like before but since this really is the breakup conversation this time, she doesn’t see the point in adding any cushion.

Ok so maybe she’s being a little harsh. But what else, exactly was she supposed to assume when Butch clammed up the way he did? And how dare Roman anyway? All the kind words that day, all the kindness ever since and now this? She shakes her head. She’d never explicitly said she didn’t approve of him going out behind her back but since he’s the one who asked to be official she assumed it was implied.

She shakes her head again, sighing dejectedly. She doesn’t actually think Roman would cheat on her, but it’s happened before, who is she to ask people to go without a “basic human need” anyway? What had she expected? So what he was the kindest, most gentle man she’d ever met, that didn’t change her, and it certainly didn’t change the past.

Or the fact she was now more convinced than ever that she’d never be able to love anyone like this regardless of how long she lived.

So maybe she’s more sad and heartbroken (cliché as it sounds) than angry, and maybe its good that Roman walks up before she can spring back to hating him.

“Darling? Are you alright?”

She looks up at him wide-eyed, somehow having missed any other noise that announced his arrival but doesn’t manage a word until he sits down next to her on the step, a hand resting against her bicep and eyes flitting between hers questioningly.

She scoots away, dropping her eyes to her shoes and rolling her shoulders back. She has to do this.

“I want to let you go.”

It wasn’t what she planned to say, she’d planned to be a lot firmer about the whole situation, brooking no opposition but, again, it isn’t as easy when she cares what he thinks.

He leans back, retracting his hand “Is it something I did?”

It sounds incredibly meek and Erica clinches her jaw, resisting the urge to roll her eyes, perfect. He’ll play innocent and she can already feel the anger rising and somehow it’ll become a screaming match and she’ll be able to have a reason to remind herself to hate him when she looks back on the last four months. Because that’s how it always is.

But somehow, her jaw doesn’t cooperate and relaxes itself, tears spring to her eyes and she sniffs angrily. Damn him.

She sighs, resolutely looking down the stairwell. “Nothing I don’t understand.” She sniffs again and tries to stop the trembling that she isn’t sure is caused by the cold or her emotions. “I tried to tell you then I was broken. I wish you had believed me.”

He curls in on himself next to her, “But” he croaks, sounding near tears himself which surprises her, “that’s what I’ve been trying to learn about”

She whirls on him, eyes flashing angrily, “By having sex with someone else?!”

He recoils as if she’d slapped him and she leans back at the sobering thought, maybe she’d been too strong, maybe—

“Who told you that?”

She blinks, “Butcher” she begins, and she looks away from the incredulous look on Romans face, it isn’t her fault Butcher has a sense of honor to hint enough at the truth. “I asked where you always go Fridays because I thought you had a deal to close and, he wouldn’t tell me what was going on and he kept getting weird and—”

The trembling is back full force and her voice breaks, when had she started caring this much for Roman?

His arm comes around her and her whole body jerks away, pushing herself to the far wall.

“Don’t. Touch me.”

He holds both his hands up near his shoulders placatingly, fixing her with a pleading look, “I can explain everything I swear it isn’t like that, could we, you look cold, could we go in?”

She grits her teeth to stop the shaking, but her legs tremble the slightest bit anyway (traitors), and she fights herself for several seconds before finally nodding. “Alright.”

He nods back, shaky himself, and stands from the step offering an arm to help her once he’s stepped up. She looks back at him, eyes falling to his arm before reaching up to the railing by her head and pulling her own self up. She’s owed an explanation and she doesn’t intend to give an inch until she gets one.

She catches him swallowing before sadly glancing at her and heading to the door reluctantly. His arm lowers so slowly she almost wants to reach out and take it anyway, sidle up to him and tuck herself in his side where she feels at home.

No. She made a choice, he’s opened this can of worms and she intends to let him lie in it.

He opens the door, toeing off his shoes carefully before glancing back at her.                                                                                                                                        

“I was thinking living room?” he offers quietly, and Erica nods bracing her hand against the wall as she takes her own shoes off. She’s wearing a long sleeved shirt from her old high school, new jeans and some combat boots, she takes them off grudgingly, knowing kicking Roman might not be as fun now if it comes to it but, well, she isn’t going to get dirt on the carpet. Because regardless of his behavior, she was raised right.

He falls into the couch with a deep sigh before leaning forward and putting his head in his hands. She sits in the chair across from him and raises an eyebrow condescendingly (even if she does feel the same way).

His hands slide through his hair and down his neck before he drags his eyes up to hers.

“I’m going to a support group.” Erica blinks. “It’s for Aces technically but I went to learn about them, and I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t know enough yet, I wanted to, I don’t know, well” he looks down again and mumbles “I did want to impress you” before breathing in and flexing his jaw, seeming to force himself to look her in the eyes again. “But more importantly I wanted to understand you, so when you told me things like ‘I can’t sit in a chair to save my life’ and ‘cake is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to humanity!’ I’d understand. Because I didn’t understand any of that before.” His expression grows soft, “But I do now, and, I hadn’t known how to tell you but, I wanted to. I still do.”

She’s listened quietly through his whole speech, and the worst part is, she can tell its true. She decides to respond to the easiest part first.

“The chair thing is a queer thing and not everyone—”

“Well all those people are ridiculous. You aren’t straight, so you can use it if you want. I always thought you sat just fine but, I understand wanting to be part of something.”

She looks at her hands and wants to cry again, for an entirely different reason. She decides to move next to him on the couch. Taking his hand into her lap and holding it palm up in order to trace her finger across it.

“So, if it’s a support group for aces, do you think I could come along?”

He’s quiet for beat and she looks up at him questioningly, had she read him wrong?

“Oh darling of course!” His face splits with a grin, “You’ll never believe Butch, he’s fallen for the librarian and she’s the cutest little thing, they ‘put away books’ before we start somedays and he swears up and down that’s all it is but they’re definitely dating officially already or I’m an idiot.” He’s grown more and more animated through his explanation and Erica raises an eyebrow in humor at his last sentence.

“Well, I’m already an idiot for making you feel I didn’t want you.”

She softens, reaching out to hold his cheek in a sudden show of confidence.

“It’s just been so long since someone did, I wanted so badly for it to be true but, everything seemed to point to…” She trails off but he doesn’t interrupt so she continues. “Not everything, but, you know how I am.”

He turns his head slowly to nuzzle his nose against her hand, “I’m so sorry I left room for doubt. I should have swallowed my own fear and been honest.”

She looks at him with wonder, smiling softly, eyes still glassy. “Tell me more about the aces, please?”

He beams.

“So there’s a wonderful boy he’s named Tom, has the brightest eyes you’ve ever seen! He has an older sister Jenny, they keep an eye on each other, and Butch keeps an eye on Tom when he can, did you know he has a sister that’s on the spectrum?” Erica shakes her head, already smiling at the enthusiasm from her boyfriend (she thrills a little inside at the right she still has to call him that).

“He does, and they get along so well, he sees her every Sunday night when I’m not out. And then there’s…”

His words seem to fade as Erica continues to stare at him, everything fading to white noise as he looks between her and their hands and the window excitedly, as if talking about these people would summon them to his living room. She starts smiling softly and comes to a decision.

She’s going to kiss him.

She leans forward and presses her hand into his cheek, turning his head back to face her before looking in his eyes and allowing herself a smile before glancing at his lips and closing the distance. She presses her lips to his with a small bit of insistence, breathing him in, in the closeness they’re sharing before readjusting the slightest bit, tilting a little more to the side.

She realizes belatedly he hasn’t moved. Her eyes flutter open as she pulls away, eyes falling to the couch awkwardly as she purses her lips before chewing on them.

“I’m sorry I –”

“Please, please do that again”

Her eyes dart back up to Roman’s, wide with confusion before he goes on, stunned face confirming his words.

“I, I was just surprised, I wanted you to initiate but that was—”

“Terrible. I know.” Erica falls back against the back of the couch despondently. “I haven’t had a lot of practice” she indulges.

Roman leans so she has to look at him, “I was going to say amazing.”

She turns her head to him again.

“but um, if you need to practice” He raises his hand slowly, “I know someone who’d love to help with that.”

He smiles cheekily before she grabs both sides of his face and pulls them together again.

Their lips are crashing together, his hands coming to pull her closer to him by the waist, her hands cradling his face before one slides up to grip his hair. She keeps smiling into it and if it wasn’t for him tilting his head to re-capture her lips each time, they probably would have broken apart because she just can’t stop.

She does finally pull away, eyes flitting all over his face “I like you” she says breathily, “I like you, so much”

He smiles, teeth on display, and reaches up to pet her hair, chuckling softly.

“I like you more”

She immediately frowns at him and shakes her head fiercely.

“Not possible. I’m bigger than you, so I have more capacity.”

He frowns. “That’s ridiculous.”

She shakes her head. “Not in the slightest Roman Stanton and you know it.”

He stands, “Well I’m currently bigger than you, so I have the capacity to like you more.”

She laughs at him softly but doesn’t move from her spot, eventually reaching out and making grabby hands at him like a child. He smiles wider, sitting down next to her and pulling her sideways across his lap.

“I mean it my ace, I like you a lot.”

She breathes out a laugh from her place buried in his neck, “Dinner after the group on Friday? My treat?”

“I’d like that.”

She nods against him, leaning up to kiss the underside of his jaw before laying against him again and he leans to kiss the crown of her head before laying his head against her too.

Not-so-quick guide to my OCs that I sometimes talk about here! xD So... Echo and Meredith, really. Plus a bonus one! Plus new art! :D

Warning, this is gonna be long so I put it under a cut :)

Anyway, because he’s the one that will definitely be mentioned most here, let’s start with..

Echo~

(I didn’t say anything about the quality of the new art xD)

Echo is my persona/self insert character..... he’s really just an alternate version of me (I like to think he’s my Alola form :3)

And like me he’s lonely so he has imaginary friends to keep him going, his current one being Loki ‘cause my current obsession is Loki

Echo is kinda hard to explain because everything about him fluctuates depending on my mood.. there are different versions of him and he doesn’t exactly have a set story or universe.. (For instance I didn’t create him specifically to hang out with Loki, but when I needed a friend I gave him Loki as an imaginary one)

Anyway! Some basic facts! He’s ace/aro, and agenderfluid (questioning?), with he/him pronouns (they/them is safe too though)

Kinda short, 5′2″ ish

Around my age, 17-20, but the mental age of anywhere from 8-17 ish.... he’s always kind of childish but how extreme varies from moment to moment

He’s AFAB but I usually draw him flat-chested because I use him as a way to combat dysphoria so, should anyone else want to draw him, best to draw him flat-chested

Loves trying on clothes! (Mainly because I like a lot of clothes but pretty much exclusively wear pajamas so... yeah I use my OCs as models)

Quiet, non-verbal in some versions (in which case he’ll write in a notepad to communicate), very shy

Sometimes makes clicking noises to calm himself

Daydreams a lot, also sleeps a lot

Gets upset over dumb things... and he’s scared of everything

Doesn’t really like being touched but sometimes snuggles Loki when he’s upset

He’s probably autistic

Probably also has borderline personality disorder.. but I’m unsure about giving him the disorders I think I have, because I don’t actually have a diagnosis (scared of doctors).. nonetheless, a lot of the symptoms that come with those disorders, he has

Likes to draw and his muse is Loki

Likes bugs, especially butterflies

Collects rocks

Eats goldfish crackers

Has really bad posture

Okay at this point I’m just adding random facts about me which is probably weird idk xD I don’t know what more to say about him soo yeah... this is my weird persona

aand next up-

Meredith~

(I liked how this art turned out tbh and I might repost it on my other blog..)

Meredith is an OC insert specifically for Marvel Cinematic Universe

She’s dating Loki, and you’ll find a lot more about her and Loki at @cuddly-loki​! (It’s my blog specifically for them! :D)

Buuuut I do mention her here occasionally because I love her (and there are definitely traces of her from when this blog was cuddly-loki), so I’m including her in this :3

She’s not really into labels but she is kinda gendermeh, I think of her as a nonbinary woman (...or soft butch, but I call her that mostly when Loki happens to swap genders), but she just uses she/her pronouns

Again, meh about labels but she has dated both feminine and masculine people, and she doesn’t really experience physical attraction the same as most people

Kinda goth, dresses mostly in greyscale colours and in kind of goth/punk clothes I guess (also, she prefers androgynous clothes)

Really affectionate with people close to her, close friends and her boyfriend of course :3 (mild PDA does not make her uncomfortable but it sure does irritate Loki)

Quiet, but not shy- she’ll talk to anyone probably but she’d rather watch them until it makes them uncomfortable xD

Once you get past the being weird or goth to creep you out though, she’s very soft and pretty nice (even if still a little dark)

She’s an aspiring musician.. sorta. She plays violin and loves music.. but also has a weird relationship with music, we’ll just leave it at that for now

Works night shift as a bartender

Likes horror movies

Favourite food is pizza

Loves birds

Doesn’t like technology very much

She has a lineup of mental disorders too I’m sure, she’s an ex junkie for one and likes to feel numb to things.. 

Also has persistent insomnia, either related to her depression or depression meds, who knows

Lives in her apartment with a couple plants and Loki, who is still adjusting to Earth life

Like mentioned above you can find more of Meredith at my blog @cuddly-loki​ and if you ask questions about her or her and Loki I will probably be very happy :)

Side note: Meredith is not meant to be a self insert but we do have things in common, and I’d probably get along with her. She’s pretty chill and gets along with most people though haha

A little bonus one, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned her here before but just in case

Gwyneth~

(Okay this turned out a little messy but ehh. It was kind of just from memory, I might have still had references for her but I lost them when my jumpdrive quit so meh)

She’s a dead character that I don’t use anymore and won’t be using anymore but on the off chance I’ve mentioned her or do mention her, I’ll go ahead and add her to this as a little bonus

I created her when I first started obsessing over Loki, and she was a self insert I used to selfship romantically with him... it was okay for a brief time but in the end I hated it. It’s hard to explain, kind of personal.. but for one thing, I’m pretty sure I’m aromantic. I love soft romance stuff but I don’t really want to be part of it.

...And that’s why I killed Gwyneth and created Meredith ehehe

I’m gonna talk about her a little anyway, for one, she was an artist/painter

She liked to take pictures of strangers to paint them and I’m pretty sure that’s how she met Loki (AKA the weirdo on the sidewalk in the all black suit)

I honestly don’t remember what her actual income came from, maybe she was on disability, Idk

Anyway she was a mess. Severely depressed. Couldn’t really keep herself together.

She hid behind jokes and sarcasm though, so no one really knew how bad she was (even Loki, for a time)

She would climb trees which annoyed Loki a little bit, turns out trickster gods don’t enjoy having to climb trees just to talk to their girlfriends

Wore a trench coat as kind of a comfort item (because that’s what I did at that time)

Often got lost in daydreams...

Scared of most things...

Yeah you’ll notice she’s a lot like Echo (even the hair- pbbt). I’ve had a lot of self inserts over the years, killed off when my anxiety convinced me I was being cringey or when they didn’t feel like me anymore.. with Gwyneth it was maybe a tiny bit those things but also other stuff, like being aromantic questioning. Creating Echo was a new start for me because it was more of an exploration of where I’m comfy gender-wise... and, unlike most of my other self inserts, I don’t really age him up. But most importantly... he’s very emotionally messy but he doesn’t hide it (or else he doesn’t hide it well) because one of my things is I need to at least pretend that people would still love me if they knew how sad and broken I am. So.. yes, Echo is a sensitive character, he upsets easily and he’s usually pretty sad.. but that’s kind of the point, because he’s still loved. 

.....Anyway sorry for going back to Echo. I don’t have a lot more to say about Gwyneth - she’s dead and not coming back - but she was a stepping stone to where I’m currently comfortable so, RIP Gwyneth I suppose :)

On the page I drew them on it’s kinda funny because it looks like Meredith and Echo are very uncomfortable that Gwyneth is there (which was only semi-intentional ehehe) 

Echo looks cautiously curious but Meredith looks very awkward like “Oh.. so you’re back...” ..she’s hiding something... And Gwyneth’s like “So... how’s Loki been?” xD

All these characters are obviously kinda similar which is part of why I put them all here (....clearly I have an obsession with blue hair but shhh), also their connections to Loki, haha.... Meredith is definitely the most connected, Echo’s Loki isn’t real and Gwyneth is dead, so... yeah.

Anyway hopefully this was a little helpful. I might make better guides for Meredith and Echo sometime but for now this works. Also, always feel free to ask questions about them!! :)

More Than Human: Chapter 8 Liveblog!

“With the Girl at the Rock Show” *wink* *wink* 

The change in the Blues' dynamic -in Boomer- is adorable and surreal and definitely healthier. Before this point, Boomer's obsession made me uncomfortable and now that he's so taken aback that she likes him back and she’s the one actually making the moves, he's so thrown off and nervous and falling so hard and just....KIDS *_* 

Mrs. Morbucks = HBIC

I'm still not sure exactly what she does though....? Are we ever gonna find out?

Damn. So why aren't JS's clients looking for other Evil Corps to get their dirty work done?

Buttercup's blankie is making a guest appearance!! Bubbles, don't you dare hurt blankie!!

I feel like the girls' boyfriends would always come out scarred for life after a "conversation" with the Professor. Who knows what he does to those poor souls in his lab xD

Why do you want her to acknowledge your existence so badly, Brick, hmmm?

Hold on. Is that the same Julie from that messed family on the show? Or am I confusing Julies?

He glared at her. "You know, generally? You ask permission before doing that." "Generally you ask permission before letting a giant black spike of death stab a pretty girl in the heart, too," she responded. Daaaaamn, shots fired!

OH MY GOD THE LUNCH SCENE! ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES!! I'm gonna try not quote all of it xD

"You are setting a terrible example as a Senior." "I set a terrible example as a person," Butch corrected. I mean...no arguments there.

Ok, I really don't remember this Julie Bean from the show...

"I wouldn't solicit advice from someone who tried to sacrifice my sister in a dire situation." "That was an act of heroism!" he snapped. "Except it was going after you," Bubbles pointed out. "So it was less heroic and more cowardly," Buttercup said. "Say that a little louder, Buttercup," Brick seethed, his eyes glowing red. "I didn't quite catch that." Unperturbed, Buttercup looked him right in the eye and enunciated, "You're. A. Pussy." DAMN STRAIGHT! 

"Speaking of fucking," Butch moaned. "This food? Is like an orgasm in my mouth."

I wanna taste Buttercup's food :'(

Even Brick's in love hahahahahaha

Did someone say Tabouli? *_* GIMME!

Poor Julie, she's so confused AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ugh, get over yourself Brick. You're like a 5 year old throwing a temper tantrum because he's being ignored. And you did nothing to Bubbles? Really?

"I wish I'd been around to see that," he said, and meant it. He really did. He wished he hadn't been such a stupid little kid. He could've played with her, and they could've grown up friends instead of enemies, and he might've felt this sooner, this easing of an unbearable weight in his heart every time she looked at him, touched him, kissed him. This makes my heart ache. Blues are killing meeeeeee

Brick thinking he's so mature but actually being a complete baby tho AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Eww Butch stahp

THE PROFESSOR WATCHING ALL THE MALES LIKE A HAWK OMG HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ugh Brick is so stupid I can't even...JUST ADMIT YOU WANTED TO SEE HER DANCE YOU IDIOT

"Butch, boobies," Bubbles said simply, and Butch suddenly shot to. "Where?" he said, eyes frantically darting around. Well that was easy xD

The Blues just standing there hugging tho xD

Bubbles wrapped her arm around Boomer's and beamed at him. "Come on," she said sweetly, encouragingly. Then she looked at Brick. A sudden chill shuddered through him at the sight of her expression, and before he could process it they were already gone. He couldn't even recall exactly what she had looked like as the door shut; it had happened so quickly and caught him so off guard. Bubbles may or may not be possessed but she definitely scares the shit out of Brick :')

That disappointment when you wanna see someone so bad and they're nowhere in sight. I feel ya, Blossom. Let me hug you.

Bubbles is such a little Reds shipper :D

Even I'm overwhelmed by how corny this is.

BUTTERCUP IS SINGING!!!!!

Boomer is outright challenging her. Show that bitch who’s boss, Buttercup!

The more comfortable she grew on stage, the more uncomfortable Butch grew watching her. Bubbles asked, "Butch? What's wrong?" "Great," he said, his voice flat. "She sounds great."

This Buttercup/Mitch conversation is fucking painful. All the would'ves and could'ves....

"I was talking with Mitch earlier," she said quietly, and Butch abruptly decided he'd never really liked Mitch anyway. CAN WE JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE THAT THAT IS ALL IT TOOK FOR HIM TO DECIDE THAT? BUTTERCUP LOOKING SO SAD AND MITCH IS DONE FOR HIM

Butch struggling so hard to understand human emotion though...

"You've never really wanted to be with someone, have you, Butch?" she said, a small, bitter laugh curling around her words. Foreshadowing? :')

I cannot with the Greens. This rooftop scene is KILLING ME I’M GONNA CRY GIVE ME MY OTP PLZ SBJ PLZZZZZ

PERIOD DRESSES AND WHITE WIGS THIS IS ACTUALLY GOLDEN OMG AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh my god these costumes...whyyyyyy

It's interesting how well Brick is getting along with Buttercup and Bubbles. Like friends. Buttercup keeps talking to him and sharing her misery with him, while Bubbles just naturally gets along with everyone and everything. He's even acting like a normal person with Julie! And annoying Blossom, as usual hehehe

I wanna see what Bubbles is working on.

Buttercup jumping at the chance to embarrass Blossom with THAT STORY is what sisters are really for, isn't it?

I really wanna take hip hop classes

Mrs. Morbucks being a sly HBIC :D

Awww @ Blossom feeling pretty. You're beautiful all the time ❤ 

I hate this next part for her...

“Looks, brains, talent," Buttercup said, nodding. Her eyes glazed over. "Plus a chest that you want to... throw rocks at just so you can watch them bounce off." Bubbles shot her sister a look. "Buttercup, you... you're kinda weird." BUT THAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT HER AHAHAHAHAHA

Fucking pedophile assholes leave Blossom the fuck alone how fucking dare you :(

Buttercup would kick (even more) ass being Evil...I think there was a comic or something where she lost her memories and joined the dark side? 

All these ep references are making me want a PPG rewatch *_*   

Brick wants to cheer her up so bad it's so...uncharacteristic and heartwarming

The AB virus...the only villainous thing the Amoeba Boys ever managed to do...unintentionally xD

BLOSSOM BEING A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR LITERALLY SWEEPING BRICK OFF HIS FEET I LOVE ITTTT

I think I just fainted," Brick said feebly, eyes shut and breath once again warm and sick against her neck. "In front of everybody." "You crumpled to the floor in a very dignified manner," Blossom assured him. He pressed his head a little closer into her, almost a nuzzle. "So long as it was a manly faint." "Oh, I don't think it could've gotten more manly than that," she said, and turned to the silent room again once she reached his door. Everyone's eyes were still on the two of them. "At ease, men," she said dryly, and pushed into his room. MANLY FAINT AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

H O W did the girls not throw the sharpest object they could find at Butch? I totally would've. Not even exaggerating.

Way to ruin the moment, Brick.

UGH Blues being THAT couple

Someone learned his lesson and is actually accepting help :D

This is probably one of the most insightful conversations about Butch's psyche. His "jealousy" doesn't stem from the fact that it's Blossom, it stems from the fact that it's BRICK. It's not like he has problems getting girls, but, in his eyes, Brick gets everything and then some with no effort....can see why he thinks so. But then again, Brick's still a temperamental man-child with below zero social skills, so I guess you win some you lose some right?  

Buttercup's right though. Butch likes bleeding for things. If he got the same things Brick does while also putting zero effort in it then he wouldn't want it anyway.

SHE'LL BE WAITING OKAY

Hmmm I wonder why Brick is taking so long to recover even though both his brothers were only sick for 1 day...does he have a lower immunity system? Or is it the pretty redhead taking care of him during this difficult time? :')

Boomer's deal with the Devil and how confused he is by Bubbles' horrified reaction... 

There's something so incredibly sad and heartbreaking about Boomer's storyline here. When will Him come to collect, but more importantly, what will he be collecting...?  

Mitch's grandmother tho...very Norman Bates-y xD

Not that into each other, Mitch? I call bullshit! 

MOJO JOJO!!!!!

Awww, same, Bubbles I missed him too hahahaha

Mojo so offended and schooling Buttercup for her cussing tho xD

CLIFFHANGER DUN DUN DUNNN!!!

I really did try not to quote the whole entire chapter. I failed. Obviously xD

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

370 pages (of waisted time)

2,5 stars Also added to my reading regrets list.

May contain spoilers The main character Anna is the same type as Bella from "Twilight", Ever from "Evermore" or Zoey from "House of Night", she grows on you and in the end of the book leaves you wondering wtf did I  read. Can she really be that dumb and naive?

Anna is the example of how dumb a person can be. She doesn't know that oui is in fact spelled o-u-i not w-e-e, sorry girl but I'm judging you. And she goes to School of America in Paris, or some other pretentious name like that, and struggles with ordering food at the school cafeteria. Really girl? Everyone around you speaks English! Why should't the cafeteria staff? Ooooh, what's this? Paris has a lot of movie theaters? Did this girl really want to be a movie critic?And one of the few respected female ones. She doesn't even know her domain!

And oh Anna, she's the perfect girl, cuter than everyone, better than any girl around. Amanda's too bitchy; Mer is too butch, too into sports; Ellie is too much of a slut; Rashmi, well, we don't even get much of her, Anna doesn't even bother to talk to her most of the time. Except of course when she needs an ear for her oh so big problems. And Bridget, she is just a bitch for dating a dude, oh, the irony, who didn't even have an actual relationship with Anna. Yes something was blooming before Anna left, but there wasn't even a sure establishment of a relationship, or that they'll be loyal to each other. So we're left with oooooh sooo perfect Anna. She's just the right amount of cute, just enough awkward, right amount of girly, a bit clumsy, but perfect *rolls eyes* And just soooo, the perfect Étienne St. Clare falls in love with her. And she doesn't even really notice it, despite being opsessed with him.

The perfect Étienne St. Clare, even that name is pretentious, so much of this book is. Perfectly beautiful dark haired YA romantic interest, the perfect boyfriend (about that later). Oh St. Clare, St. Clare, every girl in school is obsessed with him. He's so beautiful, so smart, speaks perfect French, and he has that irresistible British accent. And he's so nice to Anna. He shows her Paris and buys her gifts, always on her side. But there's the thing, the ideal love interest already has a girlfriend, Ellie. At the same time he keeps flirting with Anna. What a shame.

Then his mother gets cancer and we learn about his asshole of a father. Controlling but at the same time oh so charming in person. Étienne sure got his genes for the look and charms.

St. Clare falls into depression, of course Anna is the one who manages to drag him out of it. After that they share a bed, totally platonic, nothing happens. Fast forward, they kiss, he still has a girlfriend. Later he breaks up with said girlfriend and admits something along the lines of falling for Anna after the first sight.

I'm sorry but that story was overly sweet and also a the same time so dumb. I'm not even sure how, or more importantly why, did I make it to the end of the book. I need to learn how to put down a shit*y book and actually be done with it. Also we need more YA books where the main girl in the story has some functional brain cells. Even in a love story the character should be a bit more established than likes moves and has one brain cell that's focused on this specific boy.
