Cute autumn-themed nicknames for Willex plz and thank you, because PROMPTS ARE FUN YAY PROMPTS

Hello hi Inny I am SO SO SORRY I swear I have been staring at this for the whole month it's been in my inbox and just haven't had the spoons to writeeeee!! But here you goooo, hope you enjoy and it makes up for how long it took!!!

--- --- --- --- ---

Willie likes nicknames, okay? Sue him, they're cute little things to call the people he cares about! And if it happens to startle fun reactions out of them, all the better! They have a whole list they cycle through of silly things to call their boyfriend, and the way he blushes when they call him Hotdog or Drummer Boy never fails to make Willie's heart skip a beat or two.

So yeah, Willie likes nicknames. However, even though Alex enjoys being called by nicknames (at least by Willie), he's not usually one to use them. Until now apparently.

"I got your favorite, Pumpkin," Alex says as Willie wanders out of his bedroom at nearly 11 am.

"You're the best," Willie mumbles, taking the paper cup from him and relaxing into his arms. "Did you already have work this morning?"

"Yeah, I had to open," Alex explains, pulling Willie up against his chest. "I didn't want to wake you."

"Thank you," Willie responds, turning their head to kiss the side of Alex's neck without dislodging their place on his shoulder. "Late shifts are going to kill me."

"Please don't die," Alex murmurs, nuzzling his hair. "I'd miss you too much."

Willie chuckles. "I'll try."

He finally takes a sip of the coffee Alex brought home for him and sighs happily at the warm, chocolatey flavor of the mocha. As his brain wakes up though, he realizes something important about what Alex said earlier.

"Wait, this isn't pumpkin," he says, glancing up at his boyfriend in confusion.

Alex's brow furrows. "No?" he agrees, though it sounds more like a question. "You don't like pumpkin in your coffee?"

"Well yeah, but you said you got my favorite, pumpkin," Willie clarifies, rubbing a hand over his eyes to clear away the sleepiness.

"Oh," Alex says then, and a familiar blush starts to spread over his cheeks. "Sorry, no, I was trying to call you Pumpkin, not talk about the coffee flavor. Cause-" Alex cuts himself off to wave a hand down at Willie's body.

Willie looks down, confused, before realizing the shorts they'd slept in were bright orange. They stare for a second, then burst out laughing. "I didn't even notice," they admit.

Alex smirks and pulls them in closer. "I figured, since those aren't even yours I don't think."

"Since when do you have shorts like this?" Willie asks, still giggling.

"Since Reggie got them for me as a gag gift in August," Alex explains. "They look way better on you though."

"You called me a pumpkin," Willie points out.

"A really cute pumpkin," Alex counters.

Willie raises an eyebrow and takes a long, slow sip of his coffee.

"Well fine, should I call you something else then?" Alex offers.

Willie bites their lip to keep from smiling too much. "Well what did you have in mind?"

"Wouldn't you like to know, Sanderson," Alex teases, backing up and releasing Willie.

"Oooo, which sister am I?" Willie retorts, setting down their drink and following Alex into the kitchen.

"Oh, Sarah, definitely," Alex declares. "You've got the great hair and everything."

"So I'm the pretty one then?" Willie says, making a show of tossing said hair. It's definitely still a mess from him not tying it up before bed, but oh well.

"You are and you know it," Alex responds, smirking and leaning over to peck him on the cheek.

Willie tries to chase him for a proper kiss, but Alex turns around to face the stove. "Hey!" Willie protests.

"Sorry, I gotta make brunch, Maizy," Alex says, not sounding all that sorry.

"Okay, I'll bite, 'Maizy?'" Willie asks, moving over to cuddle up against Alex's warm back.

"Julie was going on a whole tipsy rant last week about how corn in Spanish is Maize, and so a corn maze is actually a Maize maze," Alex explains. He nudges Willie's arm aside just enough for him to reach the fridge and pull out an egg carton. "Plus, you're both corny and a-maze-ing, so it seemed fitting."

Willie can't help but giggle at the story. "Wow, so I'm pretty and corny and orange, good to know," they joke.

"Well the orange is temporary," Alex points out as he cracks a couple of eggs into a shallow bowl and whisks them around with a fork. "I suppose calling you Hot Chocolate would be more permanently accurate."

"Wowwww, comparing my physical appearance to food? Very progressive of you," Willie teases, knowing full well that's not what Alex meant.

"Hush you," Alex laughs, reaching around to poke Willie gently in the side with his free hand. "1, you're hot. 2, you're like the sweetest person I've ever known. 3, you drink so much cocoa in the winter that I swear you have a second stomach just for the stuff. And 4, it is not my fault that that paint chip EXACTLY matched your hair color."

"Hey don't you start on my beverage choices," Willie retorts, grinning and hooking his chin over Alex's shoulder to watch him throw the first piece of egg/milk soaked bread onto the frying pan. "You drink just as much tea as I do cocoa."

"It wasn't a critique, just a comment," Alex says, smiling like he's trying not to laugh. "Although I'm gonna run out of nicknames if you keep shooting them down this fast."

And somehow that's the thing that catches Willie off guard. Because Alex doesn't really call people nicknames. Let alone spend time thinking about various options.

Alex must feel Willie stiffen against his back, because he turns so he can wrap an arm around Willie's waist. "Sorry, I didn't mean to overstep," he says softly. "You just... you always have a ton of them for me, and I like it and you like it, so I wanted to return the favor. Or something. I don't know. Random thought while I was waiting up for you last night."

Willie quickly shakes their head. "No I don't mind," they say, catching Alex's gaze and smiling. "It just kinda surprised me I guess."

"So-" Alex starts, but Willie slaps a hand over his mouth before he can finish.

"You don't get to apologize for being the cutest and sweetest boyfriend ever," Willie informs him, before shifting his hand over to cup Alex's jaw and pushing up on his tiptoes to finally capture his lips with their own.

Alex chuckles against their mouth and pulls them closer, returning the kiss happily. They keep it short, since there's still food on the stove, but Willie stays glued to Alex's side while he finishes cooking.

Once everything is turned off and they're both settled at the table with their plates of french toast, Willie asks, "So do I get to see the whole list now?"

Alex groans, hiding his face in his hands. Willie suspects it's to conceal his smile. "You'll get the rest of them eventually," Alex promises. "Probably."

"I'm going to hold you to that, Applejack," Willie laughs.

Alex using nicknames is new. But Willie could definitely get used to it.

31 days of ghost // day 4 - favourite song from: infestissumam ⸸

"Let the tides carry you back to me." has always been among one of my favourite lines in Telomeres, and so, having listened to it again recently, a little idea popped into my head. Let me explain:

While ocean tides/currents is a very common metaphor, there's an underlying meaning to it. The ocean is a beautiful, but somewhat cruel place: tides can leave you stranded on a sandbank, or sweap you away before you even know it.

To put it in short, no object or creature that goes into the ocean comes out the same. For the tides to carry something back to you, something you've lost, it will be and always will be changed: eroded.

The cliffside will fall, the cave will crumble, etc etc.

With this in mind, we're yet again greeted with another example of Vessel asking for something he can't truly have. The person he wants will not be the same as they were before; they "collapse" into him, breaking apart, but still, to him, it's "the start of something."

His memory is warped, they are warped, and it'll stay that way.

However, what I would like to add is that, in DYWTYLM, it's theorised that instead of Vessel speaking to a second person, he's instead talking to himself.

Of course, this makes the song itself much more emotional (to me). Finding love for yourself is one of the hardest things you can do, but it has to be done to find love in others.

With that idea (stay with me here), the lyrics "Do you roll with the waves? Or do you duck into deep blue safety?" match up (generally) with Telomeres, which is mostly interpretated as being towards someone else.

So, what if some lines in Telemores are directed to himself as well?

Keep in mind, the tides don't just erode and carry objects (sediment), they also reflect. The Atlantic is one big mirror, and Vessel is staring into it's "deep blue safety" wondering what, or, rather, who, he was before he was Vessel.

Overall, the album name, "This Place Will Become Your Tomb", either being directed at Vessel or Vessel to Sleep (and being a Halo quote lmao), is more metaphorical than literal.

Who he was before Vessel sits in that coffin, not his physical body.

Ed gets amnesia (Izzy-centric, pre s1 banishment, past edizzy to some degree)

It starts something like this: a rope left out after a raid, a captain showing off to the crew, a workload stretched too thin to have noticed the accident waiting to happen...

When Ed wakes, it's almost immediately clear something is wrong. He's lost a few years of memories- not much in the grand scheme of things, but it's enough that the man who lays in front of them is almost unrecognisable to the man they knew. He's from just at the point where he was starting to get frustrated with the 'ease' of being Blackbeard, tiring of his old life, but still so full of life and love in ways the present Ed forgot how to be.

He's a lot more on guard, for a start, waking up surrounded by strangers, even if they are treating him very nicely. He doesn't trust them, he doesn't even fake trusting them, just shuts them out completely.

Stede and Roach figure out what's going on pretty quickly and try to explain it to Ed after that, about what's happened and all the things he missed, but he doesn't believe them for a second- how could he? If he got hurt, Izzy would be there waiting for him to wake up. He always has been, always is, his predictable and reliable Izzy. He says as much to Roach and Stede, the only thing he will say, and they just... side-eye each other. They can't believe it- Izzy?

Anyway, Ed completely shuts down after that, so someone runs to get Izzy. Izzy, who had decided, after everything- especially the past few weeks on the revenge- that there's no way Ed would want him there. He's still lurking on deck because he can't stand not knowing how Ed is, but he knows that's not his place any more. So to say he's surprised when Stede comes and begrudgingly grabs him is an understatement- Stede doesn't tell him anything, obviously, just that Ed’s asking for him. 

The way Ed’s face lights up as he walks into the room is a punch to the gut. There's a cheerful greeting, the kind he hasn't received in years, and Ed’s yapping on about what he's been told and what happened and "this ship, Iz!" and he's just... floored. He can't say anything in response, not even to confirm their story because this is Ed, this is his Ed, who's face is turning worried, joking about how it looks like Izzy’s the one with a head injury, and Izzy can't cope. He just... storms out of the room.

Izzy’s up on deck, and he's not even yelling, or working, or really doing anything, just aimlessly coiling ropes in a daze when Ed appears on deck after him. He's thrown his leather jacket over whatever of Stede’s clothes he was wearing, a return to his Blackbeard armour to be seen by crew, and he jogs up to Izzy and starts getting handsy with him, physically turning him to looking him in the eyes and check he's ok, just generally being casual in a way that nobodies ever seen them- a way that nobody expected Izzy to tolerate (but of course he does, its Ed).

Izzy'll stutter out a response and Ed will wrap his arm over his shoulder, casually, like that's a thing they do. He'll ask for a tour, for him to explain everything, like what's the deal with this Stede guy. He's still enamoured with The Revenge and all its bells and whistles, only now he wants it with Izzy. It's all 'Iz' and 'mate' and affectionate and a side of their relationship even the Queen Anne crew haven't seen in years, a complete shock to absolutely everyone except this Ed.

Ed shows Izzy the model of The Revenge again and Izzy is both heartbroken and so indulgent because that's the Ed he had once, and he's going to take every second while he can. Ed can show him every single trinket on the entire ship if he wants. Izzy's always been willing to indulge Ed to some degree (it's Izzy, after all) but there's usually external factors, like they're in the middle of a raid, storming a hostile ship, or being chased down by the Spanish without any plan and over the years Izzy’s taken to just trying to redirect Ed quickly rather than letting him get distracted with the next shiny thing. It's been a sticking point between them, Ed's distractions and Izzy's rigidity and inability to have fun even when the occasions fitting.

But, for all Izzy's gripes with The Revenge, he does know it's safe for them- or at least that he could take on any member of this useless crew who tried to take advantage of his captain's momentary incapacity. So he does, for once, feels safe to indulge Ed. And God, he wants to. He has wanted to. He wants to watch him forever, like he did when they were little more than kids. He wants to forget all the mistakes he made just to see Ed smile and light up at him one more fucking time. He's not going to throw away this opportunity, no matter how badly it hurts him in the end.

Ed's memories don't come back in a day or so, so the crew keeps getting these shows of their relationship in a way they've never seen before- all these casual touches, and the way he'll turn to Izzy before anyone else, even Izzy laughing a couple of times. The crew gets to see a completely different Izzy- one more like the man he'd have been on The Queen Anne, a man they can see means something to Ed. He's not just his rotten first mate, a necessary evil of Blackbeard, at some point it becomes very clear that Ed did like Izzy, that he chose to have him around. It's like being back when Ed and Izzy were on the same page, at the height of Blackbeard, their partnership, when things were GOOD.

And of course, Izzy’s going along with all this. He's not telling him anything about the way they're different now, about how they finished breaking their matelotage 6 months back, about how they've been living at arms length for years, about how this simply isn't who they are to each other any more. He couldn't possibly do that, not when he gets to live the best days of his life all over again, just for a few short days. Maybe he'll get a week or two, if he's really lucky.

It's hurting him, obviously, it feels like his heart is being ripped out every time Ed touches him, every time he corners him in the depths of the ship (still so untrusting of this unknown crew- not helped by how they treat Izzy. He sees the side eyes and cruel comments and notices in a way the present version of him never did, too wrapped up in Stede and the madness of this ship) but hey. Izzy’s a masochist. He'll take anything Ed gives him, and he'll especially take this opportunity to have one last taste of what he's lost.

At the time it faded so slowly he didn't realise he was losing it until it was all gone, but he won't make that mistake this time. He knows their time together is limited, and he's going to take every fucking second he can and hold it close forever. If Ed makes him leave after he remembers? After he realises the way Izzy took advantage of him? It's worth it, to have this again, one last time.

Thoughts on Wonderful Nothing by Glass Animals in relation to killer? I got some killer vibes from it and wanted your opinion!

Omg wdym some vibes this is a very Killercore song

The thing is when I listen to it I can imagine it as a Killer and Nightmare relationship kinda song, but the best part? I can see it as a song that fits Killer after he’s escaped with Color from Nightmare

Like the song has this very obvious struggle in which the singer can’t stop being an absolute bitch to their partner yet still very much love them and look for their validation which is something that completely fits Killer, cause i can still imagine Killer being an absolute bitch to Nightmare after his escape, yet still very much has that sorta fucked up feeling of nostalgia in which he misses Nightmare’s presence

Killer looking for validation is so REAL with these lyrics 👇

“Here's my state of mind

Give me destruction

Tell me I'm scrumptious

I'm a fucking delight”

Then there’s that 1992 lyric followed by the chorus that’s basically just Killer ripping Nightmare a new one

“Buy a better mood, buy a point of view

Yours went off in June 1992

Get some attitude, get some nuance, too

Get me solitude and a good excuse when

I come back in with a one-two

Sucker punch in the gut, here's a tissue

Truth hurts when it points right at you

Sit down now for some ground rules, thank you”

The beautiful contrast and contradictions in lyrics just makes me go insane cause it just feels so much like Killer y’know??? Like how “I just want to make it out alive” is followed closely by “I want you to bury me alive”, it reminds me a lot of Killer’s love for pain in stage 2 yet his hate for it in stage 1 CHCHCHCH

THESE ENTIRE FUCKING LYRICS

“You got big ideas, they're as shit as you

Trying to self-combust, just for an excuse

Say, "I might throw up, " just to leave the room

I'd say, "Burn in Hell, " but they'd hate you too (fuuuck i love this one this will definitely leave a mark kn Nightmare hcchchch)

In my mind, I'm annotating you (such a Killer thing to do, Killer is extremely observant and has a big tendency to study people around him, especially if he finds them intriguing… cough Nightmare cough)

What is that you're wearing? Oh, it's too much booze

Did your mum tell you, close it when you chew?

Now, scuttle home, go and lick your wounds (Killer telling Nightmare to fuck off is so real)

I'm a fly inside of your facial goop

I'm a little hair sat inside your soup

There's the rub, maybe I'm the fool

I'm trying to stop, but I still love you (Killer basically being unable to stop feeling nostalgic even after Nightmare’s abuse)

Like HELLO?????

Anyway really good song, can’t expect any less from Glass Animals and this is going to my Killer and Nightmare playlist immediately hchcchchchhc
