#and then he just seemed like he had no remorse whatsoever

[just-a-girl-that-likes-stuff]

I genuinely don’t understand why they did what they did with five this season🙄

You expect me to believe that five, after spending the last three seasons basically trying to save his family and prevent the end of the world, would do anything to hurt his siblings? Like?? It doesn’t make sense and his actions this season just felt so off.

I’ve come to love these characters so much and it’s just disappointing to see how things went about in this season.

My Wife | A.B.

summary: It was arranged for you and Anthony to marry for convince, but it seems as if the both of you find it much more than just a marriage of convince.

pairing: Anthony Bridgerton x fem!reader

includes: use of she/her pronouns, minimal use of Y/N, kissing, mentions of sex, some angst

a/n: i’ve been watching too much bridgerton and reading too much books to not write about him

After being wed and having one of the best wedding lunches, the new viscountess and Viscount Bridgerton found themselves with a dilemma. Although the two had known each other for quite some time before having to wed, they had not considered how they truly felt for one another. They merely saw each other as close friends through the years. So when their wedding night came — along with the added nights of their honeymoon — the newly wed couple did not know what was to come of them.

“You mustn’t leave us yet!” Hyacinth wraps her arms around your middle, smiling brightly toward her newest sister-in-law. “I still have so many things I need to ask you and so little time!”

“I’ll be back in a month, Hyacinth.” You press a kiss to her temple and squeeze her in your arms. You tuck one of her curls behind her ear and rub her cheek. “Besides, I’ve seen you grow into an amazing young woman so far, I doubt it’ll change in one month.”

She happily takes the compliment — albeit shyly — and took your hands in her. She swings them by her side and looks at you with all seriousness. “You must promise to be back in a month. No more and no less.”

“I promise.” You give her a soft smile. It wasn’t uncommon for Hyacinth to make you promise such things, she truly loved you even before you were betrothed to her eldest brother. You squeeze her hands gently, giving her a reassuring gaze. “But you must promise me that you’ll tell me all those stories of your adventures when I come back.”

“Of course.” She gives you a bright grin.

You give her an equally bright smile as she wraps her arms around you one last time before letting go, off to bother Gregory. The young Bridgerton boy gave you a hug, murmuring softly about how much he’d miss you before following his younger sister to stand by the front gates. They both were truly lights in the Bridgerton family, and you were happy that they both officially became a siblings to you. Even after practically raising them along side Anthony and Violet.

You move to walk over to the carriage when Eloise rushes over to you, eyes glazed and puffy.

“Eloise?” You stand in front of the young woman, catching her wipe her tears and sniffle. “Are you alright?” You bring a hand up to wipe her tears, giving her a look of remorse.

“I’m not bloody fine.” She sadly chuckled before pulling you into a tight hug. Eloise buried her head into your shoulder, sniffling loudly. “I can’t believe you married my prick brother.”

You quickly embraced the brunette, holding her close as her tears were soaked up by your white dress. You rubbed her back softly, murmuring a quiet response. “I can’t believe you’re crying for me and not Anthony.”

“Like I said, he’s a prick.” Eloise wiped her face with her bare hand, no decorum whatsoever. You handed her a handkerchief, nodding when she thanked you. She glanced back at the carriage awaiting you and Anthony before meeting your eyes again. “When I was younger, I thought that the easiest way for you to become my sister was to marry into the family.”

You listened intently, rubbing her shoulder.

“I didn’t think that you needed to marry after you helped raise us. You were practically family. I guess I never saw Anthony nor Benedict enough to marry such an amazing woman.” She fiddled with the bow at the front of her dress as she explained her thoughts for you. “When you came over one day and told us you were getting married to dear old Anthony… I think I was elated that you would really be our sister.” She looked up at you again. “I was happy that you and him came to your senses and that you would become the new Viscountess.”

Your eyes widened slightly. You forgot that no one else other than Anthony and your father knew that marriage was for convience. That the marriage was for the Bridgerton heir. Quickly, you mask your face. “I’ll let your mama handle being Viscountess for as long as she wants. I still have much to learn about that role.”

“Nonsense, you learned so much about it when you came over to help with Gregory and Hyacinth.” She nudged your side before pulling you into one last hug. “I won’t keep you long because Anthony keeps glaring over, but I truly believe you would be the best Viscountess the ton will ever see.” She pauses and looks over at her mother. “Well, besides mama.”

You shake your head with a playful grin, “I’ll see you in a month, El.”

She smiles softly as you step away to your carriage. You soften your gaze as you look back at her and the rest of the Bridgerton family. They were practically your second family and now they truly were family. You gave them a short curtesy for being a home to you when an arm wrapped around your waist. Without even looking, you knew who was next to you.

“Are you all done with your goodbyes?” Anthony teases, recounting how each of his siblings had a personal farewell from you. “I want my wife back.”

You scrunch your nose at his teasing words as he lays his hand out to help you into the carriage. “Jealous, Viscount Bridgerton?” You steady yourself as you enter the carriage, hand delicately placed in his. You adjust yourself in the carriage, pushing strands of hair off your face.

He squeezes your hand as he takes a seat next to you. He gave you a gentle look, eyes roaming around your face. “I would never be jealous of my siblings. Besides you’re stuck with me, Viscountess Bridgerton.”

You send him a soft smile at his words before waving toward the Bridgerton family once more as the carriage pulled away. You lean your head on Anthony’s shoulder like you usually did when you were younger, keeping your hand in his.

“You know, you don’t need to bow down to them.” Anthony gave a short peck to your head, rubbing his thumb on your hand.

You hum before speaking, “Your family has earned my respect over many years. I owe them at least one bow before I’m officially the Viscountess.”

He continues to rub your hand as he processes your words.

As the trek to Aubrey Hall began, you kept your hands intertwined with Anthony’s the entire time, occasionally one of you squeezing the other’s hand. You spoke mindlessly about the recent books you’ve read or how the visits to the modiste went with his sisters. You honestly did everything to keep your mind off from the impending wedding night that was to fall on the both of you.

And as if he read your mind, Anthony did the same. While he listened intently to your words, he added comments where he deemed it necessary and rubbed soft circles into your hand when he asked for more information. He would also tell his own tales, although they ranged from being drunk with his brothers to filing papers.

The tension between the both of you became apparent as you started to feel warmth lingering on your skin from his touch. It became even more ignited when you saw how he looked at you. He gave you such an amorous gaze, like you hung the stars up just for him.

You arrived at Aubrey Hall during nightfall, the lights outside just being lit by the staff already waiting for the both of you. No matter how many times you saw the place, you marveled at how beautiful it was.

Anthony stepped out of the carriage and dusted himself off before extending his hand for you to take. He led you through the house where the both of you would be staying, your things arriving well before your carriage came.

You let go of Anthony’s hand as you sat in front of the vanity, gently taking your earrings out and your jewelry when you saw him staring at you intensely. You raised a brow and opened your mouth to comment on it when he spoke.

The both of you quietly laughed at the unexpected mixing of your voices. You finished pulling all your jewelry off and stood to face him properly. He nodded for you to go first, taking your hand in his again.

“Anthony…” You say softly and thumb his pulse. “Can I ask you something?”

He hummed and met your eyes, creasing his brows when he saw the hesitation in them. “What is it?”

“I… You…” You pause, looking away and spinning your wedding ring anxiously. You rubbed your face before continuing, slowly meeting his eyes. “Did you truly only agree to marry me for convenience? For an heir to the Bridgerton name?”

Anthony let go of your hand and rubbed his jaw, sighing. “Yes… And no.”

You looked at him in confusion before he spoke again.

“I knew I had to marry someday. I thought it would merely be for an heir, but mother wanted it to be of love since Daphne found her true match.” Anthony chuckled softly at the fond memory of his sister in a now very happy marriage. “I wasn’t too sure how love with someone other than family was supposed to feel like. I wasn’t sure exactly how I was supposed to find someone to marry for love.”

The idea plagued your mind. You never knew what love from a significant other was supposed to feel like either. You knew love from your family and what the Bridgertons’ had shown you.

“I saw how mother was with father when he was still… I never really felt it.” Anthony gazed into your eyes with something you couldn’t place. “Not until recently. You,” He sucked in a small breath before continuing. “You lit up a room whenever you came by and my siblings adored you, I adored you.” He cupped your cheek softly. “There were countless nights where I couldn’t sleep because I knew you were available for any other man of the ton and you only saw me as a friend. A friend from childhood.”

You parted your mouth slightly at the confession, feeling the heat from his hands.

“When your father came up to me and proposed the marriage with you, I thought it couldn’t be bad. I would marry the woman who stuck with me my entire life. I accepted for the convenience of it all, but I truly felt more even before this arrangement was brought up.” Anthony brought his other hand up to your face and stared intently, rubbing the apples of your cheeks.

“What are you…” You trail off as he gives you a look to listen.

“I’m saying I love you, Y/N. With all my heart and soul. You showed me what love was and how it was supposed to feel.” Anthony says before pulling your face to his and capturing your lips.

You let out a small noise of surprise before melting into the kiss, letting your arms wrap behind his neck. He trailed a hand down to your hip and pulled you closer to him as you smiled into the kiss.

Panting, you part from the mind searing kiss and rest your forehead on his, eyes shut. “Anthony?”

Anthony slowly nodded, “Yes?”

“I love you too.” You kiss him again.

Shower Duty - A Shigaraki x Reader Fic

Smut. 18+. Fem Reader. Quirkless AU. Shigaraki is a prisoner, reader is a guard. Straddles the line between Dubcon and Noncon, so beware! 

Part of CandyCandy’s 2k followers event! Any feedback is adored! Dividers by @benkeibear.

You’ve only been working as a guard at this high security prison for three weeks, and you already want to quit. 

It started out so well. The pay is good, the warden isn’t a complete jerk, you get along with your coworkers, and even the prisoners are relatively well behaved. Sure, they occasionally flirt with you or make inappropriate comments, but as the only woman guard, you’re not surprised. 

However, a week ago you were transferred to a different section of the prison, and that’s when you found out that Shigaraki Tomura, the infamous serial killer and terrorist, is being held here. 

Everyone in the country knows his name. Everyone lived in fear of him while he was on the loose, carving a path of murder and mayhem across the nation. And everyone celebrated when he was finally caught and sentenced to life in prison, but the public was never informed of which prison he would spend the rest of his days in. 

That was six years ago. You were a teenager then, but even you had watched the trial on the news, being equal parts terrified and fascinated by the thin man with long white hair and peculiar red eyes. He had remained totally silent throughout the trial, showing no emotion whatsoever. No remorse, but no pride or malice either. At one point he looked directly at the camera, and the intense look in his eyes gave you nightmares for weeks. 

So when your coworker led you to a cell with no bars, only a tiny window slot to look through, you were shocked when you looked inside and saw the notorious killer.

He was sitting on his cot, reading a book. He looked a little different, naturally after six years. His hair was longer, still that shocking white color, and he was more toned than you remembered. He probably lifted weights like the other prisoners did for recreation. He glanced up at the window slot, and his ruby eyes met yours. By reflex, you pulled away. 

For the next few days, you had to patrol this hallway. No one ever went into Shigaraki’s cell, for any reason. Food was pushed through the slot on a tray. He was taken from his cell once every night to shower. It had to be when there were no other prisoners in the shower room, because the guards needed to focus their attention on him. Two armed guards had to escort him to the shower and then escort him back. 

The guards didn’t seem that worried about him. In six years he has been completely docile and quiet. He rarely speaks and shows zero inclination for violence. Actually, he’s a model prisoner. At least that’s what the other guards told you. 

Once, you were one of the guards in charge of taking him to the shower room. You tried to avoid looking at him as he undressed in front of you and the guard standing beside you. But it was literally your job to watch him, as awkward as it was. He didn’t seem embarrassed to have a woman in the room, probably because he has a surprisingly nice body, well sculpted, with impressive proportions. 

After he finished showering, he dried off and dressed in fresh clothes, and as you stepped beside him to escort him back to his cell, he spoke to you for the first time. 

“Enjoy the show?”

You looked at him in shock, more from hearing his voice for the first time than from his words. But once those words sank in, your face flushed with heat and you frowned at him. “Murderers aren’t my type,” you shot back, and nothing more was said. 

Today, three days later, you find yourself on shower duty again. You and a friendly coworker are standing just outside the reach of the water’s spray, watching Shigaraki lather himself up, when both your radio communicators buzz with sound. 

“Riot in Cell Block D! Everyone available head to Cell Block D to assist!”

You turn toward the door to rush over and help, but your fellow guard stops you. “I’ll go. You stay and watch him!”

You glance at Shigaraki, who is taking his time rinsing off, then back to the guard. “Wouldn’t it be better for you to stay?”

He shakes his head. “Have you ever seen a riot before? It’s wild! People are throwing punches left and right, shoving, kicking… it’s dangerous! Look, Shigaraki has been perfectly behaved since he’s been here. He’s not gonna mess up his record now. Besides, you have a gun. If he tries to make trouble, just shoot him in the leg!”

With that, the other guard runs off, leaving you alone with the wet, naked serial killer. 

You place your hand on your holstered gun, just for your own peace of mind, and watch him warily. He glances over at you, and his eyes widen very slightly. He’s probably surprised to find you alone. A hint of a grin passes over his face, and he turns his body to face you, giving you a very clear view of his nakedness. 

It makes you want to avert your eyes, but you can’t. Especially not now, being the only guard in the room. He probably knows that. 

Suddenly Shigaraki groans and grabs the wall of the shower as he staggers toward you, as if he’s dizzy. 

“Hey, what’s wrong?” you ask, your hand still on your gun. “Are you alright?”

“I don’t know…” he mumbles, holding his head with his free hand. “Feel like I’m… passing ou-“

He lurches forward, falling, and you rush to catch him in your arms. It’s simply human nature to try to catch a falling person, a reflex you can’t control. And as soon as you feel his hard, dripping wet body against yours, you realize your mistake. 

His hand moves swiftly to your gun, pulling it from the holster and tossing it across the room, far out of your reach. Your first instinct is to reach for your radio, to call for help, but he has one of your hands in a vice grip as he knocks the radio out of your other hand. It smashes on the tile floor, and you have no options left but to try to fight him off.

The struggle doesn’t last long. He’s taller and stronger than you, and he probably has a lot of experience subduing people by force. He killed a lot of people with his bare hands after all. 

He manages to knock your feet out from under you and you crash onto the wet floor as the water from the shower pours over you both. He drops down to his knees, straddling your thrashing body, and quickly pins your hands back, on either side of your head. 

“Stop fighting, or I’ll have to hurt you,” he says, his voice frighteningly calm. 

You go still, smart enough to know better than to waste your energy on a losing battle. “You’ll never escape,” you tell him, trying to sound sure of yourself. 

A disturbing grin spreads over his face. “Who said I want to escape?”

“Then what are you…?” Your voice trails off as you realize what he intends to do. “No!” you shout, struggling beneath him. 

He grips both your wrists and then slams them against the floor. “Be still, or I’ll snap your neck! And when the other guard comes back, I’ll snap his neck too! I’m serving a life sentence, I’ve got nothing to lose!”

You go limp, whimpering as he straightens up, releasing your wrists. Even with your hands free, you’re still unarmed, on your back, helpless. Trying to fight him will only get you killed, and possibly your coworker as well. You’re dealing with a murderer, so his threats are definitely not empty. 

“That’s it,” he says, lightly stroking your now wet hair, “that’s a good girl. Now keep being good for me, and you might just enjoy this.”

You look at him with venom in your eyes. “I would never-“

He covers your mouth with his own, his tongue slipping past your lips and mingling with yours. When he pulls away, he’s grinning at you again. “I’ve seen the way you look at me, where your eyes linger. You can deny it all you like, but I know what you want.”

“You’re wrong,” you tell him, looking him straight in the eyes. 

“Really? Guess we’ll see.”

You can feel the water on the floor seeping into your clothes, the edge of the shower’s spray hitting your left arm and shoulder, as his hands move to the buttons of your shirt. With nimble, steady fingers, he unbuttons them, shoving your shirt open to reveal your white lace bra. Then he pushes it up, above your breasts, exposing you. 

Turning your head to the side, you avert your eyes as his hands squeeze and rub your soft flesh. You refuse to make a sound. You won’t give him the satisfaction. 

Once he’s done groping your chest, he moves down, unbuckling your belt, then unzipping your standard gray uniform pants. You draw in a sharp breath as he yanks your pants down your legs, but otherwise remain silent. 

“Moment of truth,” he says, then he pauses. You glance back at him, and he says, “I’ll make a deal with you. If your pussy isn’t wet at all, and not from the water, I’ll stop. I won’t touch you again. But if you’re all sticky and ready for me…”

He doesn’t finish the sentence. You squint your eyes closed, and he pulls your panties off before opening your legs. You feel his fingers touch you, slide into you way too easily, and then he laughs. 

“In knew it! You’re drenched.”

You open your eyes, your face hot with embarrassment. “It’s the water! I’m not… aroused.”

He holds his fingers up, moving them like scissors to show the stretchy strings of fluid. “This isn’t water.”

You look away again, tears blurring your vision. Even you don’t know why you’re turned on by him. He’s a killer! “Just… don’t hurt me,” you finally say. “I’ve never done this before.”

“Huh?” He looks confused for a moment, staring at your face with red eyes until your words click. “Wait, never? So you’re…?”

You don’t say anything to confirm it, you don’t have to. You’re waiting for some gross comment or mockery, but he just leans his face down close to your ear and says, “I’ll take care of you.”

What does that mean? Before you can react, his fingers are inside you again, probing, stroking, making you feel things you’ve never felt before. You let out a small cry, and then clamp your hand over your mouth. You swore you wouldn’t make a sound! 

Shigaraki grins down at you. “Cute,” he says, before dipping his head down to kiss your neck. He’s being strangely gentle, kissing you like a lover, making your heart flutter even as your mind rejects everything that’s happening right now. 

You feel pleasure building in your core, and you fight the feeling with everything you have. You can’t cum from being touched by this monster! You just can’t! 

Mercifully, he stops, pulling his hand away and licking his fingers. You watch him, your breaths coming faster, your heart pounding. Then, you feel his hands on your hips, holding you in place. You don’t struggle as he pushes himself inside you, slowly and carefully, looking you in the eyes. You’re not even sure if you want to struggle anymore. 

There’s a disturbing beauty to him as he hovers over you, his damp white hair spilling over his shoulders, his intense eyes shimmering. When he begins moving inside you, he starts with shallow thrusts, slightly stretching you as he goes. There’s a bit of a sting, but nothing like you expected, especially with him. 

“You’re doing so good,” he says into your ear before kissing your lips again and thrusting a bit deeper. “Being such a good girl for me.”

As he starts to go faster, harder, he reaches down with one hand and strokes your clit with his fingers, making your hips buck reflexively. A moan escapes you, but at this point you’ve stopped caring if you make noise. You both hate this and love it, and you can’t decide which emotion is stronger. 

The pleasure builds again, spiraling through your body, and this time, nothing you can do will stop it. 

You cry out as you climax, your back arching. Shigaraki has one hand on your thigh, the other buried in your hair, and he keeps fucking you deeply as you ride out the storm of pleasure, clenching tightly around him. Eventually you feel him twitch inside you, and then he cums, not even bothering to try pulling out. He coats your insides completely, looking down at you with twisted affection in his eyes. “Good girl,” he says, before pulling out of you and standing up. 

He showers off again while you scramble to put your wet clothes back on, having no idea what to do about this. And so when your fellow guard finally returns, you’re silent besides telling him you got wet catching Shigaraki when he nearly fainted. 

Your mind is racing. Shigaraki dresses and smiles at you as you escort him back to his cell, looking almost smug. 

As you lock the door, he looks at you and says, “I hope you’ll be on shower duty more often.”

omg you write for tcgf!!! your work is so good! would you consider doing pei ming, shi qixan, my qing and feng xin reaction to their (god/dess but non-martial god) crush getting hurt protecting them?

          A Scar Opened

(TCGF Characters React To Their Crush Getting Hurt Protecting Them)

(GN!Reader)

Tw: Blood, Cursing

Pei Ming:

The infamous womanizer Pei Ming. He is known for sleeping with women, making them love him, then brutally dumping them with no remorse whatsoever. (At least he pays child support.) You from the moment you walked in hand him on a hook. You weren’t a Martial God but were still a God that got his attention greatly.

Oh he just wanted to make you his. You being aware of his so-called title brushed his advances away. But you would be lying to yourself if you said you hated him completely. Pei Ming also got desperate. 

He found out what he was feeling wasn’t lust but love. He loved you. He had a crush on you. He still hasn’t accepted it and is trying to remove this so-called “crush” by hanging with even more women.

You both were in the main palace of the Emperor Jun Wu talking about a future mission in the mortal realm you two had to do until something caught your eye. 

A spear blowing fast through the air about to hit Pei Ming. His back was faced to it and he seemed oblivious till you pushed him away causing you to get scarred on the chest. Blood dripped and slid down. 

Pei Ming was mortified as he realized the situation and quickly checked where the spear came from.

“What in the heavens is going on?!” He yelled in a pissed off tone but concern was evident for you. 

“T-this is kind of painful.” You utter out clutching your chest tightly.

“Shit.” Pei Ming mumbled and picked you up bridal style rushing you to a nearby medic. “Were you protecting me?” His eyes softened. 

“Didn't want you getting hurt, you know?” You smile weakly.

“I won’t let this happen to you ever again. I’ll slaughter the asshole who did this.” He looked down holding you tightly.

Shi Qingxuan:

(Male Form)

The Wind Master, Shi Qingxuan. Known for his outgoing personality and bubbly appearance. First time you met them was on a mission you two got assigned together. Ever since then Shi Qingxuan had developed a crush on you.

He didn’t know why. Your beauty? Your personality? Your kindness? He doesn’t know. Though wherever you go he will cling to you like a little bat. It's cute and annoying at times.

“Oh you're going? Lemme come with!”

“If you're heading that way, so am I!”

“If you're in I’m in!” 

Adorable really. 

How did things go wrong today?

You two were making small talk and then from the corner of your eye you saw a pillar about to fall onto Shi Qingxuan. You couldn't save the both of you so you pushed Shi Qingxuan hard away making him yelp while a piece of the pillar slashed your arm.

Blood poured to the floor as you panted in pain.

“W-whats going on!?” The colour drained from Shi Qingxuans face as the situation slapped him.

“A pillar..hah..broke.” You were out of breath from the sudden attack on your arm and fell backwards till Shi Qingxuan caught you throwing you up into a piggyback ride.

“You need medical attention. Stat.” He said sternly, holding onto your legs tightly as you wrapped your arms around his neck trying not to fall.

“It’s..ow.” You mumble burying your head into his shoulder.

“Shush! No talking. I can’t believe you did that for me.” He smiles to himself but then goes back to strict. “I swear when I find the person who did this they won't ever see the light of day ever again.”

Mu Qing:

(God Form)

General Xuan Zhen, Mu Qing. He’s known for being an amazing Martial God as well as an amazing medic. (Two in one ig) He’s hard to approach from his rude personality. Though he isn’t really rude just closed off and thinks other emotions are weaknesses in ways.

As soon as you got introduced he had fallen in love with you. The 800 year old virgin actually fell in love. What a surprise to say. Though he believes that love is just a level higher than hate. Everytime you speak to him he gives you short and rude answers.

Though in reality he absolutely adores it when you talk to him. Keep talking to him. No matter how much he disses. Continue. He also glares at others who talk to you. 

He’s jealous. 

You were complementing Mu Qing on his skills, making him blush furiously.

“Are you making fun of me?” He says with a hiss. Though before you can respond you see a blade breaking through a window heading for Mu Qing. He couldn't see it since his back was faced to it and you quickly pushed him hearing him curse.

The blade instantly slashed your waist making you cough in pain and shut your eyes.

Mu Qing’s eyes widened in horror as his teeth clenched in aggravation.

“Who the hell did this?” His eye twitched as he got up and went to you to see how bad your wound was.

“Ouch. It hurts.” You say quietly.

“I know it does. Bare with me.” Mu Qing being a medic began healing you with a yellow glow cursing under his breath.

You hugged his arm softly, clearly not in a good state, making Mu Qing tense, then soften up and stroke your head unconsciously.

“Can’t wait to find the insect who did this.” 

Feng Xin:

(God Form)

General Nan Yang, Feng Xin. Known for his heated temperamental problems and great strength as a Martial God. He’s more on the aggressive side and will not hesitate to harm the bad. (Or people who piss him off more than they should be) This man does not look like one to have a crush but that changed when you joined.

His heart began beating faster and his face flushed as he kept looking at you. Though sadly like Mu Qing he tends to be rude when you talk to him. Though when you catch him off guard he’ll just freeze dumbfounded while a huge blush creeps up on his cheeks.

He loves you deeply but won't admit it. At least he hasn’t gaslighted himself into thinking he just hates you a lot. 

You were trying to ask Feng Xin about questions on Ghost City but he kept saying that he shouldn't tell you anything.

“Why should I tell you? What's in it for me?” He mumbles irritatedly but was secretly happy you were talking to him. You, having good hearing senses, could hear glass shards and looked up to see it falling. About to fall onto Feng Xin.

You couldn't pull Feng Xin from the immense power difference and pushed him, making him create a confused face till his face dropped as the glass shards sliced your arms repeatedly.

“Ow.” You say to yourself looking at the blood pooling down your arms like a river.

“What the fuck just happened?” Feng Xin says going to you and grabbing your arms roughly.

“I-I don’t know. Someone must have messed with the glass sculptures.” You wince as the pain got greater.

“Tch.” Feng Xin mumbled and picked you up like a potato bag gripping your thighs hard so you wouldn't fall as a blush made its way to your face.

“Is this necessary.?” You mumble.

“Yes.” He says holding your thighs even tighter ears going red.

Well… more arising conflicts next year. Pretty sure we all know who the main culprit of these fights are from. It seems like the industry will continue debuting more groups, but the groups will lack A LOT of creativity and it’s possible that the members of the newly debuting groups are only in the industry for the fame and attention.

Seems like more groups will be experiencing more heartbreak (NWJNS) again in 2025, I see this group will still continue to fight? They’ll be whistleblowing like crazy and the girls will continue to pull up a front that they’re all good but it seems they’ll have major depression and anxiety for the remaining year.

This year is the return of Min Hee Jin. She is coming back with receipts I tell you! RECEIPTS! She will possibly be whistleblowing about the dark side of the industry, or just exposing some people in the industry.

It’s going to shock people, it’s going to cause a lot of chaos. She will honestly be doing this purely out of spite and getting her lick back.

She will be exposing the corruption and dirty secrets of a major high up if I’m being fully honest and possibly some insider information about certain groups not getting along…

Well her return truly shook up the industry a tad bit too much. I’m seeing the industry being completely stagnant this year, the higher ups will want to punish MHJ but they know that she also has even more dirt to reveal so their hands will be tied up COMPLETELY.

With her seeing the state of Kpop this time, she’ll end up leaving and actually being proud of what she had done. No remorse whatsoever.

2028

KoW rx, KNoP, 5oS rx, 6oP, 9oP

A greedy higher up will be forced to step down and no longer work in the industry, he’ll not want to leave but he will have no choice but to.

Whatever MHJ exposed; will help the people in the industry. It seems like workers will actually be treated better and paid well, more groups will get brand partnerships and equal financial support to create their work.

I don't think many people understand that the way Daemon grieves is by instantly jumping into the action with minimum or no thoughts whatsoever. That's what he did when Viserys and his unborn child died, that's what he's doing now. Even when Aemma and his nephew died, his idea of grieving was to spend the night in the brothel and people pick on the "an heir for a day" comment even though he had seemed lost and visibly sad until the moment Mysaria had coaxed him to make a toast. He wasn't even fucking anyone, and Daemon only restrains from sex when he's plagued by something.

He is an aggressive, hot headed, impulsive man, his hatred and love equally intense, and he never had the chance in life to grow emotionally. It's just the matter of whose side he's on, he's not the man who'd cry in front of everyone and show people how sad he is about losing his stepson, no he just wants to get on his dragon and kill everyone responsible for the death and the usurpation.

If the attack was intended for Aemond (I don't care about the books literally) then good on him, that little shit deserved it for showing absolutely no remorse whatsoever and walking around with that smug look on his face.

I feel that Daemon is going to feel something (sort of guilt) when he's presented the head of the son he demanded in his rage, death of an innocent child is going to haunt him whether he accepts it or not. In the times when human rights didn't exist Daemon does what he thinks would keep his house above everyone else (that's why it pisses me off when people bring modern judgements to these characters like pedophilia, grooming, war crime, women rights etc like get out of your ass once in a while and see these characters for what they are and for not how you feel they should have behaved in 21st century, none of those things existed in those times)

What happened to the statue of The Bombinating Beast? - Part 1: ATWQ to ASOUE

This theory is dedicated to @ven10, whose post depicting the statue in the episode of The End (https://www.tumblr.com/unfortunatetheorist/758594891663212544/it-certainly-is-ven10-it-certainly-is?source=share), inspired my thoughts. There are also inferences made by @snicketsleuth (and @snicketstrange) which are used.

So, by the end of WITNDFAON (which I admit I haven't read yet but will get round to), we know that The Bombinating Beast statue is of great importance, as well as:

"Snicket fed Armstrong to the creature, and then wandered into the Clusterous Forest with the statue. It is unknown what he did with the statue and what happened to that beast, or its siblings, after this" ~ Snicket Wiki.

The only hint we have of The Bombinating Beast is that Lemony wanders into the Clusterous Forest with it's statue. Therefore it is important to take into consideration an extra detail about the Clusterous Forest, which links the ATWQ universe to ASOUE:

Lucky Smells Lumbermill gets its green timber from The Clusterous Forest.

This is my line of reasoning as to what happened:

1. Despite being an agent of VFD, Lemony is still a child, so there is a chance he feels some remorse for killing Armstrong Feint/Hangfire.

2. It is out of said remorse that Lemony decides to have nothing to do with the Beast again, burying the statue of the Beast deep in the forest... or so he thinks.

3. During ASOUE (just before TMM) a worker (e.g. Evander) chopping trees for Lucky Smells Lumbermill comes across the statue.

4. Not knowing what to do with it, and being under hypnotic influence, the worker promptly hands it to the foreman, who gives it to Sir.

5. It is extremely likely that Sir (The Miserable Mill) and Wiley Smogface (FU:13SI, ATWQ) are in fact the same person; however, there is no reference of any connection whatsoever between Sir/Smogface and The Bombinating Beast's statue. This implies that he knows nothing about the Beast, which makes little sense given that he is from Stain'd-by-the-Sea.

This logical gap can be filled: if Sir/Smogface had a "very terrible childhood" as Charles has clearly stated during TMM, this could refer to his parents bouncing around from town to town as they seek different jobs with more and more money. Hence, Wiley is left by himself in his parents' latest job-stop - Stain'd-by-the-Sea - unaware of the legend of The Bombinating Beast.

6. Sir has no idea of the power he holds... but apparently, neither does Georgina! There's also no reference to Georgina knowing anything about the statue - she's just a VFD optometrist with a bad reputation who lives in Paltryville, even during the events of ATWQ.

This implies that the statue... well... just stood there, as an ornament, in Sir's office.

7. Someone took the statue from Sir's office at Lucky Smells Lumbermill. But who? Well, whoever it was must have known two things:

a) The importance of the statue

b) It's location

There are only 3 people who seem to fit the bill perfectly - Lemony, Ellington and Moxie.

We know that each of them have their reasons:

Lemony: To use its power to somehow help the Baudelaires.

Ellington: To end it all after falling into a depression from the loss of her father OR to claim revenge on Lemony after having gone through the grief mentioned above.

Moxie: For a great story and the Mallahan legacy; after all, Lady Mallahan allegedly slew the Original Bombinating Beast.

@snicketsleuth's post, 'What is The Great Unknown?' (Full post here: The Snicket Sleuth — What is “The Great Unknown”? (tumblr.com)), says the following:

"Following the events of “All The Wrong Questions”, Ellington eventually escaped from the prison cell with Kit Snicket thanks to the skeleton key in Ellington’s bag. Kit and Ellington, before going their own ways, exchanged a good deal of information. Kit Snicket could not help noticing Ellington acted extremely angry towards Lemony and VFD in general.

In the following years, Ellington worked tirelessly to recover her father’s remaining assets as well as uncovering the secrets of Inhumane Society. Though the book Caviar: Salty Jewel of the Tasty Sea was destroyed, she had had the opportunity to read some chapters Lemony hadn’t. No one knew about the CBB more than her. With some effort, she managed to find the animal hiding in the Clusterous Forest, as well as the Bombinating Beast statue that Lemony had buried there. With the statue, she was now in control of the CBB. Eventually she managed to track down an octopus-shaped submarine which used to belong to Hangfire, only to lose it to Count Olaf.

As Olaf escaped with the submarine (now rebaptized the Carmelita), Ellington pursued him. She used the statue to control the CBB, ordering it to seize the Carmelita. The CBB first encountered the Queequeg in close vicinity to the Queequeg. Unsure whether these two crafts were allied with each other, Ellington ordered the CBB to stand down. Captain Widdershins mistook the question-mark shape on their radar for an enemy submarine.  Later, Ellington witnessed the Queequeg being attacked by the Carmelita, and decided to approach the CBB to scare Count Olaf and help the crew of the Queequeg. Count Olaf also assumed the mysterious entity was an enemy submarine."

I agree with Ellington being the one who takes the statue...

...but I don't think she found it in the Clusterous Forest. Sorry, @snicketsleuth.

8. If Georgina's reputation was really as bad as Moxie made it out to be, there is a chance that Ellington would have visited the Lumbermill in disbelief - I think it is here that she stumbles upon the statue.

9. This happens:

"With the statue, she was now in control of the CBB. Eventually she managed to track down an octopus-shaped submarine which used to belong to Hangfire, only to lose it to Count Olaf.

As Olaf escaped with the submarine (now rebaptized the Carmelita), Ellington pursued him. She used the statue to control the CBB, ordering it to seize the Carmelita. The CBB first encountered the Queequeg in close vicinity to the Queequeg. Unsure whether these two crafts were allied with each other, Ellington ordered the CBB to stand down. Captain Widdershins mistook the question-mark shape on their radar for an enemy submarine.  Later, Ellington witnessed the Queequeg being attacked by the Carmelita, and decided to approach the CBB to scare Count Olaf and help the crew of the Queequeg. Count Olaf also assumed the mysterious entity was an enemy submarine.

The Queequeg eventually escaped from the clutches of the Carmelita. While making their way to the Hotel Denouement, Olaf, Esme and Carmelita Spats realized the Baudelaire orphans’ absence and were betrayed by Fernald and Fiona who let the imprisoned youngsters start a mutiny. Ellington followed the entire mutiny from afar. The youngsters were released. Esme, Olaf and Carmelita fled. The octopus-shaped submarine was eventually given back to Ellington Feint who promised to help Fernald and Fiona if they were ever in trouble."

10. Ellington had no further use for the CBB (as she already gained her father's submarine, which was the intention) so she [presumably, most likely] discarded the statue in the sea, before it washed up on the island, as @ven10 describes.

Hi hi

May I request Azul with a reader who loves to take photos? Like they have a camera and love capturing memories of those around them with it

again if you have any questions about these let me know

Azul With A Reader Who Loves Taking Photos

Word Count: 946 Words

(A/N): I hope you like it! Reader was written to be Yuu/Player character. It’s, uh, also a little more hurt/comfort than intended. Oops.

Azul has a vendetta against you and your camera.

When you first arrived at Night Raven College, he hadn’t paid any mind whatsoever to your proclivity to photograph absolutely everything that moved with the ghost camera that Headmaster Crowley had bestowed upon you. Photography was a task that was placed upon you - supposedly - and he hadn’t known you as anything other than the magicless student from another world that had been moved into Ramshackle Dorm.

And then you were a sort of acquaintance that insisted on friendship with every sorry student that went through an overblot and the sight of you at Octavinelle with the ghost camera on a lanyard around your neck became a near permanent fixture of his everyday routine ever since he’d paid you back during the whole winter break incident. At first, he didn’t mind your constantly asking for photos. Having a tangible remembrance of occasions like the school festivals and events was something Crowley had asked of you, after all. It didn’t hurt to pose for photos when you were a natural at photography, either.

Lately, however…he could not seem to go more than a few minutes without you constantly calling out to him: “Azul! Hey, Azul! Let’s take a picture together!”

He simply could not wrap his mind around how it had become routine for you to photograph every little thing so incessantly. The constant sound of the shutter on your camera had set him so on edge that he’d even gone as far as banning photography from the Mostro Lounge for a full week, until the protests of the students that enjoyed being able to show off their meals on Magicam had done a hefty blow to his profits for the month.

Even today, during your near daily visit to Octavinelle, you photographed everything from the twins escorting you to his office, the tea Jade served you before exiting with Floyd in tow, to even him retaking his seat to resume working after greeting you. He could hardly focus on the numbers he was reviewing in the lounge ledgers in anticipation of what he knew you would inevitably ask him.

“Azul! Hey, Azul! Let’s take a picture together!”

Sighing, internally chastising the part of himself that could not bring itself to be terse with you, Azul set his pen down.

“Prefect. I am trying to work. You visit knowing that you can keep me company as long as you do not interrupt my work.”

“Yea, but,” you fidget and he decidedly does not smile at your pouting, “you should take a break now and then, Azul. I’m always telling you that. Besides, it’s bad for your eyes to be staring at such tiny numbers for so long.”

“And your suggestion to take a break comes in the form of asking me for yet another photo?”

You huff, as he expects. You fidget with the buttons on your camera as your pout deepens into a frown, which he also expects. He does not, however, expect you to curl in on yourself like a blown out candle, gaze dropping to the floor.

“I just want to have proof of the things that made me happy while I was here, Azul. I…hadn’t realized that I’d been asking you for so many pictures. Sorry.”

It’s such a simple, innocuous apology. Remorseful and definitely something that he did not want to hear come out of your mouth. The reminder of your temporary residence in his world, the realization that you treasured him more than he had thought and he’d belittled your feelings for him, hit him with the cold slap of instant regret.

“No,” he stood abruptly, startling you just as much as the instant regret left him reeling with the need to make amends. “No, there is no need to apologize. I’ve had a long day and I took it out on you.”

He beckons you to him, opting to walk to you instead when he sees how you hesitate with your camera in your hands.

“I hadn’t realized I was something that made you happy,” he sits beside you on the couch, adjusting his glasses to avoid eye contact. He clears his throat when you scoff at him. “Okay, yes, it’s very clear in hindsight how much you care about me. I am just…not well-practiced in things like this.”

You stare silently at him while he struggles to compose himself. He sighs and sits up straight when he sees that you’re not inclined to speak anytime soon, very clearly steeling himself for some sort of grand declaration.

“I’m…sorry.”

You don’t think anyone would blame you for gaping up at him as you do now.

“I really am. It was rude of me. I hadn’t even stopped to consider why you would take pictures of every little thing, even outside of what the headmaster had asked of you. I’ll take as many pictures with you as you’d like from now…If I could ask you to refrain from photographing every single object in the dorm every time you visit?”

Grinning, you press your shoulder up against his as you peer up at his eyes that now squarely look back at you. “Yes. I can agree to that.”

Smiling in return, Azul scoots closer to you so that the two of you can fit into frame as you lift the ghost camera up to snap a picture.

“Thanks, Azul.”

In the photo, Azul is focused entirely on you instead of the camera, eyes soft and full of adoration. If he asks you for a copy of the picture and keeps it framed on his bedside table from now on…well, quite frankly, that’s no one’s business but his own.

(A/N): I hope you enjoyed! Apologies that it’s not all that lighthearted, it just kind of ended up that way…

Oh. My. God. This last episode was SO GOOD! If Disney doesn't renew I give up on this franchise, I swear. At last some really fresh ideas about the Jedi! (Sorry but The Last Jedi was never as new and controversial as its fanbase claims it was: the consensus at the end was the same as usual: Jedi good, Dark siders bad, no complexity whatsoever!)

Most of what I expected happened 🤩 spoilers episode 8 below.

I wanted Koril (Osha and Mae's other mother) to be the Stranger's former master, but it seemed more likely that it would be Jedi Master Vernestra. And he's TERRIFIED of her?! My man had no problems facing a crowd of armed Jedi alone in episode 5, but as soon as she arrived he put on his helmet back and went hiding like a little child afraid of being punished hard 😳 I can't forget that the scar he had was in his BACK.... Meaning she thought she killed him by attacking him from behind. Not very Jedi, not at all....

Of course we could think he betrayed her, but considering his stance on loyalty, I find it hard to believe. Loyalty is very important to him, we saw it at the way he reacted to Mae's betrayal. And now we know that whatever happened, Vernestra probably lied about it.

Because yes she's a freaking liar! Instead of admitting that her former padawan is still alive and taking pupils, she puts all the blame on this poor Sol. I guess it's karma because that's exactly what he did with Mae. How not agreeing with this senator, who pointed that leaving too much liberty to the Jedi could be dangerous? How do you trust people who lie every time they need to cover their track? Nice foreshadowing of Anakin's betrayal, too... Yes sir, one day a Jedi will go rogue and destroy everything.

Osha thought she saw Mae kill Sol, but she saw herself in fact... she just probably didn't believe it could be her! Neither did Qimir. If he wasn't in love before, he's already naming the babies as we think lmao Poor Sol though, I'll miss him. I suspected it would happen, but still... It was painful to watch, almost as much as seeing Ben Solo kill Han in The Force Awakens. Except here at last, Osha had a good reason to kill him, while in TFA it was only done for shock value :/ I know Sol expressed remorse but it was definitely not enough to get forgiveness. He should have told the truth the Osha, to the Council. He had it coming....

Mae losing her memories of Osha was such a heart wrenching moment. Especially when Mae couldn't finish the song... 😭 in my predictions I saw Mae turn, but I didn't see *that* coming.... Reminds me of Revan! The Stranger agrees to let her go while he was obsessed with killing her, just because Osha asked him to.... That's love 😍

And they really had Osha and Qimir riding together in the sunset. They really did it!! After all this time spent trying to ship Reylo but never really getting it because these idiots just kept fighting with no conversation, my soul is healed at last... You know, the scene where they take the ship and argue like an old couple? I wanted a scene like that for episode IX. Or anything that would have been a scene together with no fighting 😔

Jaime's little flirtations with being a good person (saving Brienne, sending her out to find Sansa, killing Pia's rapist, etc) are all well and good but ultimately they mean nothing since they're tiny in comparison to his larger interactions with the world, which all revolve around enforcing his family's tyranny (deposing the Tullys from their ancestral seat, helping secure the Boltons' hold on the north by handing them a tween to abuse, everything he does in the Riverlands actually, etc). He views his good deeds solely through the lens of his own self-improvement and bettering his reputation/repairing his honor anyway so like if intent matters his heart isn't even in the right place.

Oh and since he sent Brienne on this task in his place (further exposing her to the same dangers that set him on this little self-help journey in the first place, mind, which she probably would have faced anyway but this is still worth noting), he isn't actually doing anything good himself so ultimately why would anyone care what happens to him.

Plus the Starks only need protection bc of him anyway and he doesn't seem to understand or care about that. AND he feels no sincere remorse whatsoever for anything he's done so if he is in fact getting a redemption arc it's a fucking lazy one. Considering the standards for redemption arcs nowadays (think Zuko in atla or hell Theon in the same book series or even Sandor, who still isn't a good person but did a better job of helping the people he hurt in one book than Jaime managed over 3) the expectation is that Jaime will actually fucking do something to help the people he's hurt and repair the damage his nonsense has caused, and he just... hasn't. And no, putting down Stoneheart wouldn't count at all.

Tbh I hope he dies purely bc I'm sick of hearing about how he's totally good now bc he lost his hand and abandoned his sister (not bc she was a tyrant or a lunatic, btw, but bc he felt personally betrayed by her. So like. How exactly have you changed, Jaime?)

Sorry for the massive fucking rant in your inbox but you're one of like 3 ppl I know of who don't like Jaime and I had to get this out somewhere lol

I agree with every word, anon. It's well put. Jaime is not atoning, he has not really changed, he is actively upholding the destructive legacy of his own father and his own actual actions, not sorry for a single thing. He still blames other people for his choices,

Every "nice" thing he does is based on whim, without personal commitment to anything that could actually cost him something he values. It's vanity.

He's charming and funny and can phrase things in a romantic light, but there's no redemption arc happening right now.

Obey Me x Supernatural: The demon brothers see a ‘67 Chevy Impala parked out front of a café while they’re in the human world with you

A/N: I’ve been holding onto this idea but only wrote it recently. I hope you enjoy regardless. (Also referring to Belphie’s part, I am aware that Sam & Dean have lived, died and have been revived/brought back several times).

Context: You’re the sibling of the Winchesters

He knows exactly what it means when their car was parked somewhere. To him, he knew that they were looking for something far more dangerous than he’d like to admit. And from the look on your face, you knew it too.

“Y/N, let’s head back. I’m sure Diavolo is waiting for us to return.”

Even if he didn’t openly admit it to you, be wanted to keep you out of harms way. And as he loved you dearly, he would ask Mammon & Beel to watch your brothers from a distance in case anything went wrong. He knew what it was like to lose a sibling, so he didn’t want you to lose the only ones you had.

His first instinct was to get you the hell out of there. There was no telling what kind of thing your brothers were doing. Yes, he knew you were a hunter too but he needed to keep you safe. And Sam & Dean seemed to feel the same way. He would especially want to leave quickly if he felt like something was really off.

He probably doesn’t notice right away. It’s only when he hears you brothers arguing when he realizes it’s them. He hoped that they didn’t see him. Both of them had this insatiable need to tease him about you. His heart would almost explode from the questions they asked.

“Levi! Did you know that they’ve read TSL? Dean seems to be quite a fan of it. However he hasn’t watched it yet-”

“I’m envious of him. What I’d give to watch it again for the first time.”

“I was thinking we could invite them over for a TSL watching party? If you’d be okay with that. I promise that they’d be on their best behaviour.”

“What are they doing here?”

“Probably another case. Would you like to go over?”

Naturally he would be so excited as he loved to hear stories of the cases that your brothers had been on. It was so fascinating. And any chance he got to help them out, he would.

“Y/N! Let’s go say hello to your cute brothers!”

He could never resist talking to them whenever they were around. Dean was so handsome and gruff while Sam was sweet and smart. Clearly the good looks ran in your family. And despite his need to fawn over him, you and he both knew that you were the one he loved the most.

“They’re on a case, Asmo.”

“So? All the more to go see them!”

He would probably go with you to talk to Sam & Dean. That and he’d want to tell Dean about this new pie shop. He wouldn’t really ask what they were up to, but he’d at least advise them to be careful. They were still human after all, not invincible.

He doesn’t think too much of it honestly. Cool. You’re brothers are over there at the café with their fake badges and fake names, chasing dangers that would eventually get them killed. And yet the very “monster” that you chose to chase was him, and he had killed you once upon a time. But he regretted it every single day since. He was just lucky enough to have you alive once again. But these monsters your brothers were chasing, they had no remorse whatsoever. And chances are, they wouldn’t have someone like Barbatos to go back in time to fix things.

Linda's parents suck.

Like, really suck.

Definitely not an original thought in the slightest, but I feel like the way the show portrays Gloria and Al is really interesting. They're an example of abusive parents being portrayed in a more subtle, realistic way, which almost makes them feel even worse than if their portrayal was obvious and over-the-top.

Starting with Gloria, because she's definitely the worse of the two. She constantly gaslights Linda all the time, and never feels remorse about it, or even acknowledges her own behavior. The best example of this behavior is the Season 11 episode "The Terminalator II: Terminals of Endearment", where she literally forces Linda and the rest of the family to buy cream for Al, one that he doesn't even end up needing, mind you. The airport is also pretty far, so the drive over must've not been very fun (Bob has even stated on one occasion that it's difficult to drive for a long time with everyone because they all end up getting each other carsick).

Apparently, one time in the past, Gloria straight-up stole Linda's phone charger and refuses to admit she did it. Even when Bob is confronting her and becomes rightfully upset, she doesn't say anything about it. This leads to Linda saying that Gloria didn't do anything, even when the signs are extremely obvious that she did. And just in general, everything the family went through that day just to gather Gloria and Al in one place was a complete nightmare, because Gloria kept getting sidetracked and doing things like going on the wrong tram. It's no wonder that Bob went on a whole rant about Linda's parents not deserving her and her generosity.

There's also the fact that Gloria lied to Gayle about her goldfish being immortal, forcing Linda to keep up the lie too and to be on the receiving end of Gayle's outburst when she inevitably found out the truth. In general, she's very enabling of Gayle, pretty much letting Gayle do whatever she wants and not being very helpful in terms of Gayle's behavior. This must've led to Linda having to be a parent to Gayle growing up and also gave Gayle the impression that she can just do whatever around Linda.

And during her first appearance in "Crawl Space", she's really not much better. All she does is criticize Bob and is just no help whatsoever. You can't really blame Bob for wanting to stay in there instead of spending time with her. Not to mention that she and Al literally had sex presumably knowing that their grandchildren could hear them. Gene even recorded them and got in trouble for it.

Al isn't much better than Gloria. While he isn't as horrible, he's very enabling of Gloria and doesn't do anything to stop her or encourage her to be better. Not to mention that because he's hard of hearing, he has difficulty communicating. He just seems like a distant sort of guy, and one has to wonder how present of a father he was during Linda and Gayle's childhoods.

Gloria and Al also don't really acknowledge their grandchildren that much, and Tina, Gene, and Louise definitely don't have a good opinion of them. It doesn't seem they spend many of the major holidays together, either--it feels like they've seen more of Big Bob than them despite Bob's strained relationship with Big Bob. Or at least, it's obvious they have a better relationship with Big Bob. It's just interesting how Gloria's awfulness is very realistic, just doing little things and refusing to acknowledge her own wrongdoing, leading to Linda always being the one to apologize even when it's not necessary. And Al just doesn't do much at all, which is bad, too.

Linda deserves better parents, or at least her current ones really need to shape up. It's probably not too late for Al.

[princess-of-the-corner]

Can we get a full rant about the Paris special?

You're probably going to get more out of me once it fully airs but for now just.

The evil characters motivations just kinda suck for comparing them to the originals. Which again: I don't want to do because I hate the 'oh this other person had the same trauma and handled it better' thing, but when it's the same character going through the same trauma it's bullshit.

Shadybug's reason for being evil sucks because it's literally just 'she didn't meet Alya' which is supposed to be part of the Derision Retcon of how awful Chloé was even though it doesn't match with anything we saw in Season 1-3 but I can ignore that because it commits a worse crime: Letting us know that if Marinette didn't meet Alya that exact day, she would've gone full murderous villain before the day was over. Like literally Alya is the only thing different, which means even Canon!Mari is just one bad day from snapping and killing everyone.

Claw Noir makes no goddamn sense because Canon!Adrien was able to healthily handle his mother's 'death' even having Canon!Gabriel as his abusive neglectful bastard of a father. How is it that a version of Adrien that had a genuinely good father end up handling his mother's 'death' so poorly that he's down to kill whoever gets in the way as a coping mechanism?

All of this might be rendered unnecessary anyway with the fact that they're working for whatever 'Supreme' that's actually the Big Bad and might be forcing them into this? I need more info on that before I give a verdict.

I thought Hesperia being 'Good' would be the hardest sell considering Season 4 and 5's insistence that his evil plans have been 15-ish years in the making(despite the finale's insistence that he's only 'evil' because he misses Emilie) especially since clearly said plans are still in place as Alt!Adrien exists and Emilie 'died' meaning they got the Peacock. But other than the above plothole of somehow Good!Gabriel let Adrien end up as Claw Noire, he seems fine.

There's a lot of missed opportunities where they're trying to show alternate universes but only focusing on a single one. Like again: give us an Into the Ladyverse. We appearently see them for a few seconds during a Scooby-Doo Chase Scene™ which is the biggest slap in the face.

Other than the fact that this entire special on a base premise shouldn't be possible due to all other episodes insisting that there is only One True Timeline and that if anything somehow diverges, Bunnyx will come and make sure everything goes exactly as she remembers it.

We have yet another round of mass murdering terrorist supervillains who are validated because 'oh they were sad' so it's okay that they committed horrific crimes that they don't feel any remorse for outside of a 'let me just say, from the bottom of my heart: my bad.' but they're now redeemed with no consequences. And I wouldn't even care /that/ much because like a little hypocritical coming from an MLP fan if it weren't for the fact that 1.) they feel no remorse whatsoever and 2.) we have the narrative constantly beating us over the head about how none of this applies to the one abused teenage girl who's acting out because of trauma despite not going full supervillain on her own terms just being a jerk to her classmates.

imagine about boyfriend!peter braiding y/n's long hair when she's stressed and can't relax after her argument with dr brenner? 💞💝💞💗💗

aww I loved this so much, I hope you like it my dear! <3

Bestios . (little kisses)

pairing; boyfriend!Peter Ballard x Fem!reader

summary; in the request!! reader gets into an argument with Brenner and can't relax afterwards so her boyfriend Peter braids her hair. <3

warnings; arguing, tension, little bit of crying, stress

a/n; I did a jace fic similar to this!! and I thought the idea of writing it in a stranger things/Hawkins Lab perspective was interesting too :)

--×♥︎×--

"Do you think these actions are acceptable Ms. L/n?!" Brenners voice was loud and piercing in your ears.

"It was just one piece of candy, and the poor girl was crying! I couldn't just leave her there like she was nothing!" Your voice was clear but he wouldn't hear you.

"Nonsense! You do not show sympathy nor remorse for any of the children whatsoever! It weakens them!" Brenner could feel his blood behind to boil and churn under his skin.

"Weakens them?! How about it shows them that they matter and actually mean something?! Eleven was crying and you didn't even care that 002 bruised her!" You were clearly pissed, you were breathing so harshly it made your nostrils burn.

"That's enough!" Brenner yelled, his rough fist hitting the desk, he was at his final straw, and it made you scared.

"Do I need to teach you a lesson and have you be sent to the shocking rods?" His eyes were cold and filled with hatred.

Suddenly you wouldn't seem to find anything to say, like you'd already spat every word you could've ever spoken out at him.

You simply just shook your head.

"You're free to exit my office, now." Your legs forced you up as much as you felt defeated and relieved but also so fucking angry and scared at the same time and it made you feel stuck in place.

You forced yourself out of the room, and off you were to your boyfriend Peter's room.

You didn't even realize that you were crying until you were knocking on the door, and you were quick to wipe them away regardless of knowing it wouldn't make shit of a difference. He would still notice.

The door clicked opened,

"Baby? what's wrong?" He pulled you in close to him as he closed the door behind you, sweeping you into his arms.

"Nothing, it's just Brenner being fucking Brenner again.." you mumbled into his chest, you couldn't bare the hatred that tingled every single fiber inside your body that you had for this facility.

"Tell me what happened" He replied as he broke the hug, as you sat across from eachother on his silk sheeted bed.

Your body felt tense and weak at the same time, you felt drained and tired but more than awake and it was so stressful.

"During one of the expiraments, 002 injured Eleven, and like, he slammed her against the wall! with his mind! and the poor girl started crying and no one was doing anything about it at all, and I didn't even care about the rules, or if I would've been breaking them at the time, and I gave her some candy and I smiled at her!"

You rambled, your hands would gesture as if they had minds of their own whilst you spoke, and your dangle earrings would barely swing themselves as you went on.

It was things such as those that made Peter realize he loved you, how he could find the littlest things that subconsciously happen or that you would do seemed interesting to him.

"You know we aren't allowed to give them candy, but I can understand why you feel the way you do.. I've given Eleven candy before too when she's cried." He admitted as the palms of his hands slowly rubbed his knees, that was also something he did subconsciously that you found interesting, too.

"Atleast I'm not the only one.." You mumbled and let out a long breath from your nostrils.

Your shoulders still wouldn't fall and your muscles wouldn't let themselves relax and it was really starting to bother you now.

"Let me braid your hair." Peter spoke suddenly, he'd only ever done twice before, but when he did, it seemed like he loved it more than you possibly could've, and it made you smile and you turned away from him while he got a hair tie and a brush.

You felt all the tension start to ease its way out with every brush Peter did. He started by brushing your hair from the ends up to your roots, and now he was brushing through your hair from your ends to your roots.

It felt so soothing on your scalp, you felt like resting your eyes.

--×♥︎×--

Before you knew it, Peter was finishing off your braid he'd done with all your hair, it seemed to be longer than the rest of the women who worked in the building, theirs were either pixies, or shoulder length, but yours seemed to flow down go just slightly below your breasts. Peter always complimented it and told you he thought it was soft, and smelt like coconut.

"Finished." You turned to face him and smiled when you saw an already smiling Peter looking at you as you leaned in and kissed him gently.

I swear...People look at Earth getting super giddy with Moon about Barbies and go "see she already replaced Nexus" when...Honestly, it seems innocent, we know Earth has a hyperfixation with Barbie, and considering the other person who shared that fixation literally tried to burn her alive a few days...Weeks? Ago, I don't blame her much for seeing someone else she can share her hyperfixation with and getting excited to bond with this person who's supposed to be her other brother, she's also probably still reeling from the fact that one of the closest people in her life tried to murder her in cold blood without hesitation or remorse at least in the moment And people saying Moon's situation of getting info-dumped is the same as Nexus and no it isn't, it is similar but there are several key differences, such as how nobody is new to the situation, nobody just recently died, and everything was explained to Moon rather than him being told to watch the show, Earth was completely new to everything when Moon died and Sun at the same moment Nexus came online learned his brother was full-on dead and he really did fail to save him and Killcode is alive instead, and before anyone tries to blame those two for how they handled Nexus and go "see Nexus got it worse!", you try explaining to your amnesiac sibling who wears your dead sibling's face and has his voice the entire screwed up abusive history of your lives up to that point right after learning your old sibling is dead and its your fault, or at least you blame yourself for it, or being in Earth's shoes and having no idea what's going on whatsoever having just got back from the middle of nowhere after having your first introduction to your other brother...Who was suffering a catastrophic meltdown, Moon's current situation was far less novel or messy than that, and Nexus handled it all pretty well all things considered, things only went to crap after Solar died, he talked with Moon, had that weird waking dream, and then flipped a switch decided to toss everyone away, which wasn't connected since all the problems in the early days were resolved before that point

You're absolutely right, dear anon 👏

Yeah, Earth probably is also latching onto this Moon because he looks like New Moon.. so I think that she dissociates from the fact that New Moon almost killed her.. and she finds comfort in talking with Moon and Moon being so open also helps her feeling more comfortable..

I see similarly to Lunar's relationship with Solar.. because Earth did exactly the same thing Lunar did - she told her trauma right at the beginning just like Lunar told his trauma to Solar..

(this reminds me once again that with Solar it was different.. his relationship with New Moon wasn't as close and honest like many people like to think.. for me it looked like Solar treated Sun and Moon the way he did because of his trauma and I think that he saw it as the opportunity to not repeat the same "mistakes" though he wasn't at fault but still.. that's why he pushed away Sun so Sun wouldn't end up just like his Sun and that's also why he was hanging out with Moon a lot and tried to please him so Moon wouldn't end up just like his Moon - imagine how Solar will feel when he'll find out what New Moon did 😬)

And I absolutely agree that Old Moon's situation is completely different than New Moon's.. Old Moon was filled in the gaps but he isn't fresh new.. he dealt with various threats and tough situations before so it's nothing new to him..

New Moon on the other hand was.. new.. and he didn't experience anything yet so it was a lot to deal with when he had to already deal with a threat to his family and all that stuff.. and also he knew that he previously was an awful individual.. so he felt under the pressure but later things were okay.. his issues were addressed and Earth gave him support he needed.. but because Moon is paranoid and he has an ego.. things strated to slowly pile up after his conversation with Dark Sun - because it all started back then.. Solar's death was a final straw.. but tbh I don't think so exactly.. because he was allowed to grieve.. he was offered support and help and Sun even told him that they won't think any less of him because he can't bring Solar back because no one will sacrifice themselves.. and Moon even had mental breakdown - which was a good thing in such situation cause it let Moon out these emotions and frustrations that come with the struggle with loss and hopelessness caused by not being able to bring back a dear family member.. everything seemed rather okay even if Moon was grieving hard..

But then that talk with Old Moon made his insecurities even worse and then was that vivid dream - waking dream.. and I think that someone took advantage of Moon's vulnerable state.. personally I think it was Creator - or Sun really is a carrier for virus because of Creator's doing and when he took care of Moon after his mental breakdown (they were very close to each other then - Sun had to take Moon upstairs so he was touching him and we still don't know how the virus can be passed exactly from the carrier and what's worth to note is that Moon and Sun weren't all touchy with each other because of Sun's trauma - Sun didn't like to be touched by Moon that much)..

Virus still doesn't excuse Moon's actions because like we saw in Ruin's dimension that infected animatronics still were capable of making their own decisions and like Ruin's Creator said they could rebel against him.. so Moon could've fight with the urges.. but he gave into these desires pretty quickly - probably because Moons have the tendency to quickly give up when it comes to them putting some greater effort into something.. it's because of their egos - just like Eclipse said that Moon has a big ego just like him..

I also absolutely agree that Sun and Earth did their best with New Moon at the beginning.. Earth immediately tried to help both of them because she was created for that.. and Sun given his loss of his brothers which he felt guilty for and that he had psychotic episode back then and that New Moon looked and sometimes even reacted the same as Old Moon.. he did the best he could.. and he absolutely cared and loved New Moon (so people who say otherwise stfu) like he was always scared for New Moon's life and he trusted to leave things to New Moon and Solar because he knew that Solar will help and take care of Moon - imagine why Sun felt useless and an awful brother and why he thought that Moon might despise him /sarcasm

You're absolutely right about everything, dear anon. I wish more people would see that. Thank you for this ask/analysis ^^

Missed Potential with Vegeta & Future Trunks in the Android Saga

So Future Trunks is part of the reason why Vegeta is (maybe 'was' now) one of my top fav DBZ characters. People say Bulma drove Vegeta's redemption, I used to believe that myself, but I disagree. After rewatching parts of DBZ recently, I think that honour is better suited for Future Trunks and Goku. If you really think about it, Bulma never challenged Vegeta to be better. Maybe she did so off-screen, but not on-screen that's for sure.

While I love the dysfunctional relationship between Vegeta and Trunks, I was never fully satisfied with it. I feel like the setup of Trunks realizing his dad was a bad person never had a great conclusion. It seemed to me like he swept Vegeta's bad side under the rug and made excuses for him under the guise of understanding his father's pride, just like his mother did. Even after Vegeta's blunder of the century, Trunks shows no rage at his father. I was low-key disappointed with Trunks' daddy simping.

However, I read this fanfic a while back and everything clicked for me. Highly recommend it - the author has amazing DB fics.

Trunks hates the Androids for destroying life on Earth and killing innocent people. He hates that they find it fun. He hates how they abuse their power over others. How they relish in people's fear.

Who else is like that? Take a guess.

That's right - Vegeta!!! His own father!!!

Even in the android saga, Vegeta was still relatively evil. At least in the anime, he killed several bystanders in his fight with 18 without a care in the world - like they were ants that he stepped on. Vegeta was willing to endanger the whole planet so he could prove himself against Perfect Cell. Vegeta was willing to let his baby mama and infant son die - no remorse whatsoever.

Vegeta, the man Trunks looked up to, is just like the androids. The androids Trunks hates!

How amazing it would have been to see Trunks wrestle with the horror that the man he dreamed about was an even worse murderer than the androids. That his father casually and gleefully committed several acts of planet-scale genocide. Wrestle with the fact that his mom slept with said despicable man in the heat of passion. That his mother invited Vegeta into her home after he proudly admitted to wiping out an entire Namekian village with a smirk and a laugh. How could he love a man like that?

Maybe Trunks rejecting his father for his past crimes could have provided a foundation for more character development for Vegeta. Maybe his faith in his father is restored when he sees that, unlike the androids, his father has the capability and desire to change. Also, I feel like Future Bulma deserved more criticism from Trunks.

I love Vegeta but I am so sick and tired of Vegeta's crimes being waved away with no lasting consequences. He gets praise for doing the bare minimum. It's also very telling that he is never shown on-screen apologizing to Bulma for hurting her. That's why it is so satisfying to read fanfics where Vegeta's past catches up to him and he has to atone properly for all the people he has hurt.
