#anyway enjoy this mess of a gifset

#the blood origin trailer said let’s give the fangirls what they want

[khaotunq]

FYI I'm new to BL content and your seduction set just gave me so much joy, I'm watching The Eclipse next. (It was originally 24th on the list but I've bumped it up, I'm currently watching two at a time, but I'll do Eclipse on its own, I just have a feeling it'll be so good and don't want to mix it with anything else)

Anyways, thank you!

This is the best ask, thank you. Because of this I just went back to the start of when I optimistically thought it'd just be a silly thing I abandoned maybe a dozen gifsets in, if I was lucky.

The Eclipse truly did a number on me. It's got its flaws (I'm told; I refuse to see 'em) like any other media, but I'll defend it to my dying breath so I'm sort of giddy with glee at the prospect of luring someone into its midst, or at least encouraging someone to come closer. I hope you enjoy it - let me know how you find it! Even if you're not as impressed as I personally feel everyone should be.

Welcome to the BL sphere, it's a mess in here but try not to take anything too seriously and I hope you enjoy your stay! There truly is something for everyone in this little strange little biome.

Thank you so, so much for this. ♥♥

Sidenote: I've been rereading my old alts (I started adding them around Step 29 and retrospectively added them to previous sets around then too, about a year ago), and it's nice to know I'm still as nuts about them as I was in (more or less) the beginning.

temptations

Description: After Regis and Zaeed secured both the bombing fleet and the name of the colony threatened by Cerberus, they were left alone in the apartment, and Zaeed can't resist teasing his lover.

Paring: Regis Shepard/Zaeed Massani, referenced Regis Shepard/Kaidan Alenko/Zaeed Massani

Rating: E (Relevant tags: Oral Sex, Semi-Public Sex, Snowballing)

Notes: This is pure PWP inspired by a gifset I made and a tag by @edains <3

Regis watched the ambassador walk away with a glare still on his face.  What a fucking mess.  He turned to Zaeed, tilting his head to the side.  “So, this is where you ran off to.”

“Told ya I had a mission to deal with,” he replied, crossing his arms.  “And you got yourself involved anyway.”

“Message from the Primarch asking me to inquire into the situation,” Regis explained.  “You know me.  Chances are, it’s going to end up on my desk at some point.”

“I wanted to avoid that.  You have enough on your goddamn plate.  Especially after that damn coup,” he said, stepping forward into Regis’s space.  

Regis eyed him, clothed in his old yellow mercenary armor instead of his commissioned gear. “What made you bring that out?”

“Expectations,” he shrugged. “Most know I'm Alliance now, but not everyone.  You see me show up in this getup and they see Massani, legendary Merc, and not Massani, Shepard’s dog.”

Regis narrowed his eyes at the last statement. Zaeed said it so casually, like it didn't bother him, but it struck a nerve with Regis. 

Considering he's been called Kaidan's guard dog on a few occasions…

“You've been hearing that a lot?” He asked. 

Zaeed barked a laugh, motioning at his expression. “Oh, you don't like it?  Thought you would. I am yours, after all.”

Regis opened his mouth to reply, but Zaeed stepped closer, putting a gloved finger to his lips. “No, you like it, don't you, knowing you have me leashed to the Normandy. You don't like it when others say it like it's a goddamn terrible fate for me.”

Regis kept his expression still, but his lack of response made it clear that Zaeed was right on the money. Always too easy for him to read. 

Zaeed pulled him forward by the collar of his officer uniform. Regis let out an undignified gasp as Zaeed pressed his lips against his, backing him up against the bed in the apartment. Regis pulled away when the back of his legs hit the edge of the bed. “C-sec will be swarming this place after the mess we left.  And there are bodies in here because of you.”

Zaeed continued to kiss down his neck, unzipping the high collar. Regis tangled a hand in his hair despite his protests, gasping out his name at the attention. “Don't worry. They're down with a tranq. Won't wake up until a few hours later.  They're fine. We're as good as alone.”

“That's not what I was worried about.”

“You protest so much yet you aren't pulling away from me,” Zaeed purred up against his ear.  Regis closed his eyes and shivered.  He's right.  A little push with his biotics and he'll be off. 

The public theatrics weren't always his thing, preferring to let loose only in the gaze of his lovers.  He's not Kaidan. 

Still, the door has been locked by his own personal programs and laced with his Spectre ID if someone were to come knocking.  Enough to ward anyone off for a bit longer…

Not they they weren't far from a C-Sec outpost or anything.  He definitely didn't scope it out before running into the apartment complex to deal with the situation. Nope. 

“You know, we have a large bed in the Normandy.  With Kaidan.   And a locked door I can trust,” Regis said, throwing his head back and planting his gloves hands on the edge of the bed, groaning as Zaeed unzipped the rest of his jacket and pushed his hands underneath his undershirt, untucking it from his pants 

Zaeed hummed, moving to kiss down his chest, teasing his nipples with biting kisses and healing licks, the sharp hint of pain enough to make Regis bite his lip to hide how much he was enjoying it.  The smirk Zaeed gave him showed that he did a terrible job of it. “And we are alone, in this room, away from responsibility for one goddamn moment. He'll understand.”

“Would he?  He just got back on–goddammit Zee.” Zaeed stuck his hand down Regis's pants, rubbing his covered dick. 

“See, you like this. You like talking up a storm about it, but you submit in the end.”

Regis glanced over to the door. “You are not making a mess of my uniform.”

“I'll clean you up nicely.” He licked his lips. “Let your guard dog continue to clean up your messes.”

And that right there went straight to his cock. “Fuck you, Zee.”

“I didn't hear a yes,” he said pointedly, but he went ahead and started to get on his knees anyway, hands stopping at Regis's belt. 

One of the many reasons why he loves him so much.  Always checking in. 

“Don't expect anything from me in return,” Regis said with a sharp look. “Go ahead, Zaeed.”

“Spoilsport,” he snorted. “At least my gear hides it better than your leathers.”

“I’ll let Kaidan know what he missed out on and let him decide what he wants to do with you.”

“You say that like I consider that a bad thing.  Maybe I want him to fuck me into our mattress, hmm?” Zaeed finished undoing his belt and pushed his pants and briefs down just enough to give him access.  Regis whined at the sensation of his cock being freed, barely able to take that in before Zaeed licked a long, slow stripe up, starting at the weeping head and nuzzling into his hair at the root.  He flicked his tongue into the slit, circling the head of his cock before pulling off, a string of saliva connecting them briefly.  

“God, Zee–” Regis moaned.  “Don’t tease me now.”

“So, I can tease you later,” he murmured, breath ghosting against his sensitive dick.  “Good to know.”

“You know that’s not what I–oh fuck me,” Regis gasped out.  Zaeed took him in one swift movement, swallowing him down with hollowed cheeks, the warm, wet mouth of his gliding across his skin with expertise.  

He’s not going to last long.  Regis clumsily grabbed his hair for more purchase, his other hand tightly grabbing the sheets of the bed behind him.  He hoped this apartment was vacant, and hated to imagine the occupant coming back to this fucked up mess of a situation.  

Zaeed chuckled around his cock, sending pleasurable vibrations up his spine, knowing his lover was overthinking the situation as Regis always does.  How Zaeed managed to get two boyfriends that got lost in their heads, Regis didn’t know.  

Zaeed’s grip on his hips tightened, the metal of his glove digging into his skin.  A sharp bite Regis wanted more of, accentuated by a twitch of his dick.

Zaeed dug his fingers into his sides tighter, leaving marks and bruises waiting to rise to the surface of his skin.  Regis threw his head back and moaned, unable to keep quiet any longer as Zaeed continued to work him to a fast-approaching orgasm.  Moving up and down his cock with just his mouth, popping off to tease the head with loving kisses before swallowing him back down, curving his tongue around the underside of his cock, renewing his pleasure and pushing him closer to the edge, electricity crackling underneath his skin with every move by his boyfriend.

Regis’s corona roared to life, enveloping him in a light purple glow, unstable with dark energy as it pulsed and flickered.  Regis was a mess, sweat beading on his forehead, curls sticking to his face, making uncontrolled sounds of pleasure and delight, stuttering out Zaeed’s name when he did something just right.

Zee wasn’t any better, moaning and grunting around his cock, spit and pre coating his lips and his chin, a lewd sheen in the bright light of the apartment.

Zaeed adjusted his position between his legs and angled himself just right to get him even deeper into his throat, his length hitting the back of his throat with barely a flinch.

Regis’s grip on Zaeed’s hair tightened, and his corona flared out in wisps of violet, surrounding Zaeed in its aura, coming  down his throat with a shout.  Zaeed swallowed him down, not letting a single drop escape.  True to his goddamn word that he’d keep Regis clean.

His legs trembled, his cock flaccid and sensitive in his mouth.  Regis wiped at his eyes and forehead with a gloved hand, letting out a whine as Zaeed continued to taste and tease to the point of oversensitivity. 

He finally backed off his length with a click of his tongue, tucking him back into his pants and putting him back together as if Regis wasn’t the recipient of a mind-blowing orgasm.

The only sign of their actions were slightly wrinkled sheets at the end of the bed.

After Zaeed zipped back up Regis’s jacket, he claimed his mouth once more and opened his mouth and–oh.  Zaeed pushed a small amount of his come into his mouth, cupping the back of his neck in a tender way that contrasted the utter debauchery of the act.  Regis obligingly swallowed himself down, moaning at the taste of himself on his lover’s tongue.

“See, that wasn’t so bad,” Zaeed teased, his voice taking on an even rougher growl.  

He’s right, it wasn’t.  It was a bit weird that it was taking this long for C-Sec to show up, but he’s blaming that on all the thinned resources since the coup.  Maybe.  

“I love you, but–”

“No buts.  Unless you’re about to show off yours.”

Regis tried to glare at him for that terrible comment, but it clearly didn’t work.  Zaeed smirked at him mischievously and swatted his ass before heading over to the door.  “If you didn’t want me to talk about your ass, you shouldn’t have worn that outfit.”

“It’s a standard officer uniform!”

“Not when you and Kaidan wear it.”

Insufferable bastard.  Regis rolled his eyes.  “Can we get the hell out of here now?  C-Sec has to be on their way.”

“No, they aren’t,” Zaeed said, unlocking the door with his personal override.

Regis stopped in his tracks.  “What do you mean, they aren’t?”

“I mean that I messaged Kaidan to hold them off until we secured the area.  And now we have.”

“You–”

Zaeed had his omnitool out.  “Scheming bastard?  Yes, I goddamn am.”

Regis shook his head, pushing past him. “I can’t believe you two.”

“You love us.” Zaeed caught up to him and held out his hand.  Regis took it with a roll of his eyes.

“Unfortunately.”

“Put it this way, you can have our way with us back in our cabin.”

“You want me to punish you, it doesn’t really work that way.”

“This was as much as Kaidan’s idea as it was mine, you know.”

“Which part?  The mission or you getting me off in public?”

“You know the answer to that already.”

“Tell Kaidan to get settled in our cabin once he gets back to the ship, if he isn’t already there.  I also want you to head straight there.  I will be a few minutes.  I trust that you both will know what that means.”

“And then?”

Regis stopped in his tracks and pushed out just enough dark energy to make his eyes glow purple along with the red leftover from Cerberus’s enhancements.  “It will be a surprise.  You like those, don’t you?” Regis purred, deepening his voice.

Zaeed shivered at his look.  “Maybe not when you say it like that.”

“It’ll be fun.  Trust me.  Get out that omnitool.  Or else my surprise will take on another edge…”

(—) ★ spotted!!  KARTER WINDSOR on the cover of this week’s most recent tabloid! many say that the 33 year old looks like MICHAEL B JORDAN, but i don’t really see it. while  the FORMER PRINCE / REALITY TV STAR / INFLUENCER is known for being CUNNING my inside sources say that they have a tendency to be UNRELIABLE i swear, every time i think of them, i hear the song DOGTOOTH BY TYLER THE CREATOR  { he/him / cis male} - penned by IVY, 21, CISFEMALE, SHE / HER

hi luvs !!! i'm ivy :)) so happy to see you all ! please excuse my bad timing and bad impulse control , i just kept typing HAHA but can't wait to write with you !!

𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒 :

name : karter antonio windsor age : thirty - three birthday : june 4th sign : gemini - gasp !! birthplace : london , england career : formerly , prince ! now . . . reality tv star & social media heartthrob !

𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 :

soo for those who hadn't already guessed , karter completes the windsor siblings trio ! he was formerly prince of uk until a few years ago , when their parents relinquished the royal title & moved them all to america !

but let's take a few steps back. before all this , honestly , karter had very few complaints with his royal life. he always felt like he was made for a life of luxury and attention , and he'd practically come out the womb trying to charm those around him. he enjoyed his privilege and wasn't shy in using it , often grinning at all the house staff when he'd act up and asking them not to tell his parents about whatever trouble he got into.

the more stiff , less idealized parts of royalty didn't appeal to him , however. in fact , there were probably pictures released of him falling asleep during royal ceremonies & trying to escape LMAO ! it was w relatively selfish intentions , honestly , his thought always being why put so much effort into something that matters so little to me ? i wouldn't be surprised if his parents constantly had to wrangle him growing up !!

but his redeeming quality def was his charisma as i mentioned. though most can agree he wasn't the most poised prince , he was very approachable & generally not ultra uppity ? and for that , he did best in public appearances , service projects , etc. basically he was like ... i want you to adore me but not worship me !

anyways , when he got to america the best way i can explain it is modern giselle from enchanted HA ! like ... he was so overwhelmed w all this newfound freedom , not only from moving but no longer being a royal ? and well ... he went crazy.

karter wasn't even there a week before the paparazzi had pictures of him club hopping , dancing over everyone , and being an absolute mess !! sure , there were those who he knew were only talking to him for his status , but he didn't mind. in fact ... part of him liked how his title could make people's heads turn , for better or for worse. because at least they were looking at him.

i find it entirely canon that when approached by the paparazzi regarding his chaotic life he said - " if you want the royal story , read my parent's book ! but if you want to know the karter story , just turn on tmz ! i'm sure you'll find me there. "

yeah .... guys he's one of my most chaotic muses yet HAHA !!!

but soon the appeal of mindless partying wore off , and so did the intrigue of the former prince moving to town. he wanted more attention , and didn't want it to stop with his title.

so , in 2021 , he starred in a too hot to handle-esque reality show , very steamy & scandalous vibes ?? i probably don't have to explain that he had an absolute field day but ! it also blew him up once again , w him developing a new sub-set of fans who now knew him as reality tv karter , not just former prince karter !

on the show i imagine he was the epitome of this gifset , but also always saying the most off the wall quotable things during his confessionals ? and essentially became one of those people you love to hate.

so ever since , he's been wiggling his way into the mainstream influencer / celebrity culture for his own projects ! since he's done numerous modeling gigs for big companies , had small roles on several entertainment networks , and currently is guest starring as a returning contestant for the reality show he starred in !

he wanted to give acting a try but is lowkey terrified no one would take him seriously & they'd only gonna cast him for comedic relief roles. not because he wouldn't like it but like ... he would hate to feel like that's all he can do ??

fitness has always been incredibly important to him , though , and when he moved to america he had a desire to do something of true meaning that would allow him to generate his own income. his big project right now though is trying to open an exclusive gym in hollywood , where celebrities can work out amongst each other without the prying eyes of the public ! it's still in the works , but he's looking for help to get him started up !

so most of his own income has come from public appearances & sponsorships , and since most of that is getting saved up for the gym he's living relatively below his means.

his relationship w his parents has also grown incredibly complicated now , as he hasn't exactly been the model son of the year , and at the age of 33 is still making a life of clubbing and chaos. but more than that , he's been more distant from his parent's lately , as he feels close association always is going to group him as a royal and not as his own person ? so he's been more distant than usual , and he feels guilty as hell , but hasn't done much about it , either.

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐀 :

I SWEAR i try so hard to keep these short and they never are ... here's to making sure i keep this personality section reeeal concise !

ok so i think i got most the obvious things out the way via his background , but as you can tell this man is a lothario !! full of charisma , heeeavy flirt , adores attention but doesn't know how to keep a relationship to save his life.

honestly though ... smarter than he comes across ! those who first meet him might think he's a himbo , because he can come across as pretty aloof , but well-meaning ! the truth is though , he is smarter than he seems , he just doesn't like to share everything w the public , but wants them to feel like they know everything. by " dumbing down " his image to a party guy he keeps the headlines about him predictable and frequent , but keeps them away from the things that truly matter to him in life.

in the romantic sense , though , he is horrid at relationships bc he a.) he doesn't want one b.) he can't tell he can come across as such an asshole sometimes by being so blunt ?? he doesn't want a relationship , and since he can be self-centered , doesn't understand that other people may ? he also sees himself as a walking red flag after all the news about him so doesn't expect those to approach him to be in the market for something seriously anyways.

part of him hates this , though , because he feels like he can't be taken seriously. numerous brands he's tried working with clown him bc of his background , and he struggles to make true friends in america bc he feels like they're all either clout chasers or just see him as someone to party with !!

that being said , he can come across as emotionally guarded bc he doesn't know who he can trust. but when he trusts you ?? ugh this man is fiercely loyal ! almost to a fault. bc on that token , he can be incredibly protective and will go to war for those he loves.

when you truly get to know him below his exterior , i would say he radiates golden retriever energy. very clingy & affectionate , dotes heavily on those he loves , as well as constantly poking fun of his loved ones in healthy doses.

when they first moved to the us , he had intended to adopt a german shepard who would accompany him on his runs , only to realize he'd said the wrong name when he asked them about the dog rescue. well out came this little yorkie and well .... he felt too bad to complain , and now he has a 8 pound dog named zoe who he accidentally fell in love with and yes she still accompanies him on his runs !!

sidenote i need to remind myself ivy u literally won't have anything else to write w people if you keep typing !! so i'm gonna stop myself here because otherwise i won't shut up !! pls i would love to plot w u all and i'm so excited to be with you MWAH !

𝐖𝐂𝐒 :

costars !! i'm keeping the premise relatively vague on purpose , but at some point in 2021 karter starred in a show similar to too hot to handle !! so i would love it if some of his costars were still around , esp if they had drama on the show ? or alternatively , someone who the show did evil editing on to make it seem like they had a rivalry when they were actually cool w each other !

roomies question mark ?? if this doesn't happen i'll probably have it be canon he lives on his own ! but tbh i could see karter being in the chaos spawn that is a content house ! probably 25+ leaning since idk i don't think he needs to be living up w people too much younger than him efjjefoijeoi ! but i think it could be so fun to have a hype house vibe except like ... they're all a little older and so it gives it a bit of a different vibe !

exes !! you'll soon see i love a messy plot so any sort of ex would be great. bitter , still a little in love , a relationship that never really became a thing , high school sweethearts ( if somehow they were in the uk lol ! )

current fwbs , messy or not ! he has both drama-filled and more tame situationships , so this could go anyway !

the one that got away ? i feel like there's max oooone person who karter truly thought he could love at some point or another. but maybe sh*t happened and they didn't make it out together. would totally love a more angst leaning plot where there could potentially still be lingering feelings but not necessarily !!

if there's any other muses from the uk , i'd also love to see childhood-oriented / long-term connections ! he's also probably much closer to them than most others in hollywood which would give a different side of him for sure !

enemies / frenemies !! i definitely think there's people who don't like karter and i would love to see some muses he has a more tense relationship w !! honestly he's drawn to people who don't like him bc he's ultra-competitive and it makes him want them to like him that much more. but on the other hand , maybe also someone he has a mutual nemesis-sort of relationship w , and who's twitter feuds are constantly making celeb gossip news ?

former tour guide also !! i assume karter's probably been to america at some point before moving , but regardless it was definitely a culture shock not only moving but to no longer be treated as royalty ?? so i think it'd be super fun to have someone who showed him the ropes around ( maybe even hollywood specifically for those who were born into the life ) , and grow close in the process ! we could also do flashback threads for this of their adventures if u would like !

any and everything else. <3 if i can think of anything better , i'll add it , but truly i love nearly everything & totally like just talking it out as well !! never feel afraid to hit me up bc if you don't have an idea , we can plot it out 'till we do !! <3

[whumpypepsigal]

Did you watch the new flash movie? It is out now on streaming. Barry Allen is my fav DC character I was so excited for this movie but the actor playing Barry is so problematic I wished they recasted them. It even has good Barry whump in it that is ruined for me now. It’s very unfortunate. p/s: the movie is a bad-CGI-mess.

Anyways, I love Michael Keaton so is it okay for you to gif his batman whump scene? I love your blog.

hi yeah i did and the movie was … hard to watch. it was all over the place and i couldn’t get past the bad vfx/cgi stuff. and yeah i feel you about the barry whump- it is the type scenario/trope i enjoy the most too where a character loses their powers and then make themselves undergo the same painful experiment that gave them the power in the first place. imagine if movie!barry was played by grant gustin-a girl can only dream! this is what happens when problematic actors ruin the enjoyment of good characters. oh well…

i just posted the gifset you requested. hope you like it. enjoy 🧡🧡

Maddie’s look of utter offense when Chimney thinks she wants to date other people still gets me months later. Can’t wait for them to realize that they only need to be together as a family with Jee.

Bold This Valentine’s With You

*Peaks out into the void* Hello, hello. So, I am super nervous because this is my first time actually writing fic for the fandom that isn’t me just writing a fic for my own eyes because I needed to get the plot out of my head. Anyway! This is my entry for the Valentine’s Gift 2022 exchange that @missmybuddie set up and I am excited to share it! So this is for @cosycrescent and I hope you like it!

~~~~~~~~

There was something special about Valentine’s Day that had been missing from Buck’s life, even if he hadn’t realized it. Sure, memories of the day were tainted by a failed restaurant date and the reminder in the form of a scar to the throat, but otherwise he could see the appeal as time went on. For a while, he didn’t feel the urge to celebrate the day, given that romance did not seem to go his way.

Lately, his time seemed spent on just enjoying the day for his niece’s sake. The night before Valentine’s Day saw Buck on babysitting duty so her parents could have a date night before spending the entire holiday with their family of three. So Buck had planned on a crafting session that he knew would end up more of a mess than anything, but would be worth it.  

Seeing Jee-Yun get so excited over putting paint on her hands so she could make hearts on a piece of paper to surprise her mommy and daddy made Buck’s heart melt. Sure, his favorite white shirt now had red hand prints all over it from when the toddler excitedly patted his arm to show him her work. But it was worth it and he could always frame it to remember the day. It was a white shirt with red on it that he would be okay seeing.

Once Maddie and Chimney picked her up, and yes Chimney, Buck did see those tears in his eyes even if he tried to hide them upon seeing Jee-Yun’s gift, Buck got to work getting ready to go see his second pair of favorite people in the world.

Buck wasn’t going to have a lonely Valentine’s day this year. Sure, the year before sucked since he had been going through a breakup and Eddie was still gone from the team. But it also brought it Maddie and Chimney’s return and the beginning of what felt like a fracture in his life piecing itself together.

It took time for Buck and Eddie to find their footing as well, getting used to a new routine of seeing each other outside of work. Awkward small talks and avoiding conversations eventually led to an argument lasting a couple weeks. It was only then that they began to communicate, figuring out how to navigate topics they had not wanted to bring up.

All that was in the past though. They were a solid team, especially since Eddie did eventually come home to the 118. He had once assured Buck that he wasn’t the one being left behind, something that took Buck a while to figure out why it had hurt so much.

In the back of his mind, he always knew there was an attraction to his best friend. But he pushed it down, not wanting to risk the best thing that had ever happened to him. Both Eddie and Christopher meant too much to him to risk a confession that could lead to another fracture, one he wasn’t sure he could bounce back from.

So lost in thought, Buck almost missed the buzzing of his phone. Picking it up from the table where he left it, Buck smiled at Eddie’s text. 

You on your way, yet? Christopher is demanding heart shaped pancakes.

Buck chuckled and responded back, Of course, anything for my favorite Diaz.

Eddie responded with the pouting emoji, so Buck sent an eye roll back, adding on Don’t worry, you’re a close runner up. The wide smile emoji he got gave him butterflies in his stomach.

Buck gathered up the presents he had gotten for Eddie and Christopher, before heading over to their apartment for dinner. He was going to be spending the night and would spend the day with Eddie and Christopher. They had planned on breakfast before having a movie marathon. But Christopher had been insistent on Buck coming over the night before, even if he would be late on account of babysitting.

Once he arrived, Buck’s heart skipped a beat when Eddie opened the door, looking casual in a red henley and sweats. “Hey Buck,” he said softly.

“Hey Eddie! I hope you didn’t save me dinner. I got my fill of chicken nuggets and peas with my best girl.” He said, walking inside and making himself at home. His jacket went on the hook next to Eddie’s and he dropped his car keys in the little bowl by the front door. Behind him, Eddie watched him with a soft smile.

“Well, I did make enough in case you wanted some. Abuela had me on tamale duty today so I saved a few.”

Buck could feel his stomach grumbling and he grinned. “I will never say no to tamales. Thanks Eds. Where’s Christopher?”

“Right here! Hey Buck!” Christopher said as he rounded the corner from the hallway. Buck immediately met him in the middle to give him a big hug.

“Hey bud! You ready for tomorrow?” Buck said, feeling warm and happy now that he was in both their presence. It was a difference from being in his loft, and the more he recognized that feeling, the more he came to accept that it did feel like home when he was with the Diaz boys.

Christopher nodded, smiling brightly, “Dad said we could exchange cards right after breakfast.”

“He really wants to give you his present, is what he’s really saying.” Eddie added with a fond smile.

Buck let out a chuckle. “I’m excited too. I was thinking that we could have a slumber party out here and then just have a lazy morning, indoor picnic kind of thing?” He looked to Eddie for approval, and the look in Eddie’s eyes sent a shiver down his spine.

It was still difficult to sometimes get a read on Eddie’s feelings, even as he was beginning to open up, mostly to him. But lately, something in Eddie’s demeanor changed around Buck and it was something that had him hoping he wasn’t misreading. Now, it just made Buck feel tingly.

“I think that’s a great plan. Christopher, why don’t you pick out a movie for us to watch while we get the living room set up?” Eddie suggested.

“Okay!” Christopher headed over to the couch while Eddie took Buck’s bag for him and placed it on the chair in the corner.

“You get the sheets and I’ll get the pillows?” Buck said as he headed down the hall.

“Works for me.”

Thank you for those gifs. I'm so in awe of how it looked as if they clicked immediately upon meeting. They were in their own little world, and Zia had a front row seat to those two doing secret handshakes and stuff. Lol.

Anyway, I keep looking at those gifsets, and they're calling me single ..

i love watching it but i've had teammates who were messing around and it can be annoying af. glad i can just be an observer and enjoy how sweet and adorable they were.

For the fandom ask game: 13, 17 James Watson, 20 Sanctuary, 24 John Druitt, please. 😊

Oh yes! Such great questions, thank you so much!!

13) What's a character or ship you haven't written/drawn yet but would like to some day? Oh, many. You should see my ideas list for drawing - it's long. There was a Star Trek prompt event and I got ideas, and the Year of the OTP event and I got ideas. So yes several for Star Trek (B'elanna/Seven, Kira/Dax, Owo/Detmer) and I really can't forget Janeway and Amelia Earhart. I will be bitter forever at the missed opportunity not to have her join the crew. It seemed like such poor characterisation as well. Would Amelia Earhart really have turned down the opportunity to pilot a starship??

17) What's a book, movie, or show you think James Watson would like? I don't think he would like crime/mystery media to be honest as either they don't play fair, or the answer is so obvious and the characters so slow to get it, that it's annoying. I think he'd probably check out the various Sherlock Holmes adaptations out of interest (and also to be guarded against any teasing), but I don't think he'd exactly like them.

To be honest I can't really see him watching much TV outside of documentaries. I think he might like movies a bit better as they are basically like plays. I think he might be interested to see examples of modern films out of interest for how they are made (hasn't technology come so far type thing) but I don't think the plot of most would grab him.

Books would definitely be his media of choice, and call him old-fashioned for that if you like. I don't know why but I wonder if he might enjoy a good old archaeological thriller. You know hunting for lost treasure and definitely on the more ridiculous side. I think he might be more willing to put up with inaccuracies if it obviously isn't taking itself too seriously (kinda like the Uncharted games).

The only actual title that springs to mind that I think he would actually like is The Princess Bride. Not sure why but I think he'd think it was clever and well done.

20) When did you first join Tumblr? How long was it between that and finding Sanctuary? Around April/May 2016 I think? I'd been lurking (aka reading specific blogs but not signed up) for several months before that, sometime mid-2015 I think. Anyway, I finally got FOMO and wanted to join in.

I first started watching Sanctuary... I can tell you, let me scan the blog archives. I think I tried to find it August 2020, and watched a bit via YouTube as I wasn't confident I would like it. I got the DVD in September and I think I was... mid season 3 (mid-October I blogged about having reached the Hollow Earth arc). You can tell my obsession really ramped up in October as clearly I did a deep dive for ALL the gifsets.

Amusingly one of my initial posts said that Tesla made a lousy friend (I'm laughing, boy did my opinion change) - hey! I never remember this stuff when I get asks about opinion changes. I remember my opinion now and rarely what came before.

Anyway I wrote my first novel length multi-chapter (Our Darkest Hour) that November before I finished the show. I actually stopped watching for the month in case the show messed with my outline, which it would have because Normandy jossed my Helen/James headcanon but oh well. It was kinda fun, a bit like capturing a fraction of the experience of if I had been creating when the show was originally live.

24) What's your favourite thing about John Druitt? I feel bad about this but the honest answer is his cursed nature. Without it, he's still a compelling character (as I wrote purely in Choosing Fate) but that agony of what happened to him, and the trauma to those he loved/who loved him just grabbed me. It's TRAGIC, and I like to fix things.

It's the whole Winter Soldier "it wasn't you" "but I still did it" type thing. Blame and judgement and guilt and darkness, and forgiveness, and how people can move on - it's fascinating. I see discussions on it on tumblr sometimes about redemption for characters. How far is too far? Are there some things that are unforgivable? Does it depend on outside factors - like being cursed - to mitigate blame? People have opinions. This can get controversial and I don't do conflict.

I remember Teal'c talking to Tomin on Stargate, saying that life didn't have to end, that he could never be forgiven but he could still do good in the world. I think of Regina who willingly walked down the path, but was pushed and manipulated by others (and a lot of pain). When I have written Regina I've talked about people being more than what they have done, that people have the power to choose, and she chooses to do better.

With John it's not really a choice (at least in my headcanon) while he's a host to the parasite. However, once it's removed - how can he move on? It wasn't him, but it was still his hand on the blade. He remembers it being him. I think it would warp his sense of morals too, after a century even if he wasn't a host anymore. Finding his sense of self, and his own moral code, would be a challenge.

Also his relationship with James. Coming of age in a world where it was punishable by death (or 10 years in prison and societal ruin). That too.

I want to stay a while longer with you. I once wished to live such a life - building my home in a peach garden, leaving all the disputes far behind, living peacefully and unhurriedly. I originally thought that this would only appear in a dream. I really wish for it to be this way too.

[Gif Masterpost]

[This gifset happened by accident, I was just messing around, practising some tools I don't use often... and ended up spending 3.5 days whatever this is. The hours of trial and error and work... my eyes hurt. I must have gone through 8 or 9 drafts of each gif until I decided enough was enough lol. The promo video I used is responsible for a lot of my pain: Allison (and Vanya, and a lil' bit Diego) had less frames/screentime than everyone else, making it incredibly difficult to fit them to what I'd planned on making. On top of it, I tried to stabalise Allison and Vanyas clips, because the few frames they showed up in in the video, they were edited like crazy! Eventually I just gave up. They're shaky and unstable, but I've tried going frame by frame for each countless times but my eyes can't take anymore. Anyways, I hope for the absolutely insane amount of time I spent working on these, that regardless of the mistakes, they came out alright - and at the absolute least I got lots of practise in. As always, if you enjoy my work, considering supporting me with a reblog and like. Thanks fam!]

Personal stuff

So, back in August of last year, I got diagnosed with Endometrial cancer.

The Covid pandemic messed everything up. I knew something was wrong but delayed going to the hospital because there were lockdowns, people were getting sick in large numbers, I decided to wait and get my double vaccination shots first and I was living with elderly folks I didn’t want to put at risk. Bad decision - take my advice, if you feel something is wrong get it checked out asap.

Anyways, we seem to have caught it just in time. To be on the safer side and in case there were microscopic tumors, I had to undergo 6 cycles of chemotherapy. It’s been some of the hardest 6 months of my life.

Today my Oncologist gave me the all clear and said I was fully cancer free. So a very happy day indeed!

As I mentioned, it’s been pretty hard. With the ongoing pandemic and low immunity levels due to the chemotherapy, it’s been 6 months since I have met some of my closest friends and family other than over videocalls. Since classes have become online, I have been able to continue teaching with a reduced work load.

But the real life social isolation meant appreciating my online interactions more . All the mutuals with similar interests. Enjoying all the puppies and kittens and nature photography, beautiful gifsets from books and TV shows, sharing the annoyance and anger at our politicians, policy, issues of discrimination. Discussing TV shows and books. Fandom drama.

It’s kept my mind off the troubles of real life, it’s made me laugh and allowed me to engage with people from all over the world having fun and taking the piss out of Jonsas and arguing and debating if Jon Snow was really ignorant on the issues of food stores or Michael Guerin’s relationships with Maria and Alex or if Rand al’Thor was adapted to TV properly or if Naomi and Holden are the best fictional couple ever and so on and so forth.

So, I just wanted to say thank you. To my mutuals, ASoIaf fandom folks, Roswell NM fandom folks, WOT fandom folks, scifi/fantasy fandom folks. You have kept my mind occupied and entertained and distracted from what has been a pretty miserable and rough 6 months.

Oh and also, life is short. Enjoy it and live it to the fullest, don’t waste whatever opportunities comes your way, spend time with your parents, treasure your friendships and don’t spend all your time online.
