just some things i noticed
-Roman was SO SAD in this video
>"and i'll be the son!" "whose only dream is to...Be a star.." Roman said that last line so depressingly (grammar). Does he not just want to be seen as the side who only wants Thomas to be the star? Is he becoming more aware of how egotistical he can be? Although he did start off normally (i loved that sm)
>"patton" grimace. "and logan" less of a grimace "and,,,virgil!" big happy, geniune not-just-for-show smile. So, he's still holding a grudge against Patton which is understandable. Logan though? Is he angry at him for siding with Janus too? I feel like it's going to end up with everyone else trying to reason with virgil and roman or something

You Didn't Need Us Then, We Don't Need You Now
Requested by this anon: "Okay I thought of this idea during Fundy's stream. Quackity and reader were engaged to Karl and Sapnap, but they left because of Karl losing his memory and Sapnap paying more attention to him. Quackity and reader then created Las Navadas to try and cope with everything that's happened to them. They created a little wedding area where they planned to get married with Sap and Karl. Flash forward to a year or two later, Karl and Sap stumble across Las Navadas and their two former fiancees. And they see everything they've done, including the little wedding area. which is perfectly designed as to how they wanted their wedding together. That's is as far as I got to the imagine in my head. If you could make a fic out of it that would be cool. If not at least you have this cute imagine in your head! đ"
{Okay, so- so man feels, so many ideas. I haven't seen all of the Los Nevadas streams yet because I've got a lot of school stuff going on, but, I think I have a pretty good idea of what's going on. [also Slime from The Ground my beloved]}
Quackity x reader; Past: Sapnap x Karl x Quackity x reader
trigger warnings: maybe some swearing, slight descriptions of a panic attack, slight drinking
premise: After L'manburg was destroyed, two of your fiancées seemed to disappear. With just Sapnap left, you had been scared, but he assured you that the right thing to do was split up to try and find Quackity and Karl. And, well, you found Quackity, but when He found Karl.... something else had taken over, and suddenly Kinoko Kingdom was more important than finding you and quackity again. But thats fine. You and Quackity had been together in the begining, so what did you need from the other two? Las Nevadas could fill the void they left,,, and it did, until they happened to come knocking, right as you were finally moving on.
{Also, parental unit for everyone in Las Nevadas, I love it, brain is going brr so hard}
{also also, purpled is the forgotten eldest child of the server and no the ufo does not get blown up}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's gone, (y/n) it's all gone," You said with disbelief, staring over the barren, ashy place that had once been L'manburg and El Rapids, "We couldn't stop him."
Sapnap took in a shaky breath, wrapping an arm around your shoulders, "We were never could have. Even if the supplies weren't destroyed."
The remaining people had already cleared out, but you had only now come to see the damage, having been forced away from the battle by your fiancées.
"I could have helped." You fell to your knees, still staring at the wreckage.
Sapnap could only sigh at the broken look on your face. You had lost the only home you'd ever known, but what had he lost? Well, for one thing, Karl.
Karl was still no where to be found, and now it seemed that Quackity had disappeared.
He fiddled with the purple band that circled one of his fingers, "Look- we- we need to find Quackity and Karl. Q looked pretty bad the last time I saw him, and Karl-"
Resolutely you nodded, dragging yourself to stand, "Karl is Karl. He'll be happy that his statue missed being blown up. I think its Q we should be worried about. This place- El Rapids- that was everything to him."
"Well- how about you go find Quackity, and I go find Karl. We're bound to find them eventually if we split up." He offered.
You studied the look on his face, "You're covering for him. What's going on?"
Sapnap only shook his head.
Crossing your arms you turned toward the hill, and what was left of the prime path, "Quackity has the deed to some land. North of Spawn. Meet us there once you kind K, alright?"
"Okay." He said softly, leaning over to press a soft kiss on your cheek.
"Be safe." You advised, already starting away.
~~
It didn't take you very long to track down your Fiancé, in all the time you'd known him (much longer than you'd known the others), he hadn't changed too much.
So, when you made your way through the twisted paths near Pogtopia, he was up on the ridge, sitting on the rock that had for so long, doubled as a bench.
"It's good to see you're safe." You hugged your arms to your body, trying to keep your voice from shaking.
As soon as you were sitting next to him, he was leaning on you, "He destroyed everything- all that work- El Rapids-"
"I know." You wrapped your arms around him, finally letting your own tears fall, "I know."
"What are we gonna do? I just wanted a place for us- I just- I wanted to make a place for us- all we asked for was recognition- and now the only place that saw was recognizing us is gone."
It had taken a while for Quackity to stop talking about everything that had been destroyed. Even then he kept asking, "But- Just wanted to make a place for you guys, how are we gonna do that now?"
"We can still make a place," You assured him, even as you yourself were unsure, "We'll make our own little country. So far out where no one will be able to blow it up."
He seemed to take to the idea quickly, and that night, as the two of you sat together in the camp that had been made within the caverns of Pogtopia, he talked feverently of the country you two would make.
He talked of buildings, of businesses, and of wedding venues. The plans he made up that night, they were almost enough to make you forget about what had happened to your home.
"What about that land north of spawn?" You suggested, letting your head rest back on his shoulder.
Quackity thought about it for a moment, "I mean- its just some desert, but I think we could make it work."
"Good, I told Sap to meet us there once he found Karl."
He nodded, "We'll head up there, and start getting everything ready, and then when they're ready they can come up."
~~ This was how three months came to pass, with the busyness of planning the new city, the beginning of construction, the meetings with Sam to plan for the new economic system that the new country would spread through the lands.
Yet you still felt off. It had been that long and Karl and Sapnap had never returned, something must have gone horribly, horribly wrong. It nagged at you, constantly, Drove you sick with anxiety somedays.
"(y/n)."
You looked up from the designs for the next casino you had been going over, "Sam! I didn't know you were visiting today! What can I do for you?"
"Uhhh, I wasn't planning on it, you better come out here- it's Quackity, we had been discussing- some things. I don't know what happened but when he passed back through-" The creeper hybrid trailed off.
You quickly stood, rushing passed him and through the hall to the courtyard where Sam had left him, gasping for breath and tugging at his hair.
In an instant you were kneeling beside him, "Breath baby, breath."
"They- he- George- Kinoko- Sap- left- on purpose-" He blubbered.
"Hey, Q," You took his hands as gently as you could, "look at me. Breath, breath with me. Come on, breath."
Slowly, he began to calm down, and by the time Sam was long gone he slowly began to explain what happened.
"I was heading back from talking with Sam, I saw George outside the prison. He kept talking about something- about- Kinoko Kingdom..." He sighed.
"Kinoko- what?" You asked, confused.
He let his head drop into his hands, "Karl and Sapnap.... started another country- called Kinoko Kingdom... they didn't even wait for us."
You felt your heart drop, if you hadn't been holding his hands yours would've been shaking, "What-"
Quackity could only nod shakily as he pulled you into his arms.
"I told him to come back here- I told- why didn't they-" You muttered absently.
The only noise in the courtyard was from the fountains, and the small sniffles from the two of you.
You were still in a state of semi-shock and sadness when you felt his arms tighten around you.
"We don't need them anyway. Las Nevada's can prosper without them."
~~ "Purpled? You want to get him in on this?" Quackity frowned.
You shrugged, "He's a mercenary, he could be of some help around here."
Your fiancé studied your face for a moment, "No, that's not it. Why do you really want him here?"
"Look, he's-" You sighed, "The kids been through a lot. He doesn't really have anything anymore, he needs somewhere, someone at least. We owe that too him at least."
After a moment, he nodded, "I haven't spoken to him since I paid him for his help with that egg mess. He- didn't seem to like me being around."
"I'll try to find him, he'd talk to me, I'm sure of it." You stood up from your seat at the table.
"You're going now?" He asked, following you across to the coat room.
You nodded, tugging on your boots, "If I want to make it through to the Greater SMP before it gets dark. I'll see if Eret will let me stay the night, then I'll head out again."
"Be careful." Quackity advised once you were ready.
You pecked at his lips, "I always am."
The journey to the Greater SMP went quickly, and after a nights stay in Eret's castle, you had made your way to the UFO, disappointed to find it seemingly abandoned.
"How the hell am I supposed to find him if the one place he ever seems to be is empty." You muttered, glancing around the base of the UFO.
You shrugged off your knapsack, dropping it to the side, followed by the sword that had been at your hip, and then you began to climb.
Even the inside of the UFO was completely empty, devoid of any chests, crafting tables, or furnaces.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
You jumped, turning to find Purpled, in full netherite, sword gripped tight in his hand.
"I- We've been looking for you." You fumbled for an explanation, holding up your hands in a sort of surrender.
He scoffed, "I already did a job for you people, I'm busy now."
"Not for a job Purpled!" You couldn't help but exclaim, "Some people actually try to find you for more than just that."
"Then what do you want?" He snapped.
"Did Q tell you about Nevadas?"
Purpled frowned, "Yeah, he mentioned it."
"Well, I think you should join. Come in on the project."
"Why the hell would I do that?"
You sighed, "Look, Purpled, you- everyone here, in this smp, they don't care, they don't bother to know you. You- you don't really have a place here-"
"You think I don't know that?" Purpled's grip on his sword tightened.
"So, If you come with us, join Las Nevadas, you can have a place- have people who care. You need people, Purpled."
"I don't Need anyone." He insisted.
You sighed, "Someday your going to have to see that that's not true. Please consider joining Las Nevadas, no one here cares, but we do."
"That's not true," He said bitterly, "You just need me to do another god damned job."
With a shake of your head you turned, preparing for the climb back down, "Purpled, this smp isn't kind to children, but I think it's been the most unfair to you. Out here your being forgotten, but you might not be if you join us."
~~
At the base of the UFO you were surprised to find a strange, slimly looking boy digging through your bag.
"Hey!" You yelled, "Don't touch that! It's not yours!"
He looked up and froze, realizing he'd been caught.
You snatched your things away from him, quickly unsheathing your sword, "Who are you?"
"Uhhhh, I'm a meat person- same as you!" He offered.
"You- you're- uh-" You sputtered for a moment confused, "Why were you touching my things?"
"Uhhhhh, Dap me up!" He said avoiding the question.
You stared at him for a moment, "I don't have time for this."
As you started back toward the prime path you heard him call, "Nice to meet you (y/n) from Las Nevadas!"
"How do you know my name?" You demanded, whirling around.
"Oh, I know a lot of things." He laughed, "I see lots 'a stuff."
You frowned, "Uh huh. I'm gonna- walk away now."
~~ A week had passed, and there was still no signs of Purpled, nor Fundy or Foolish, (both of whom Quackity had gone to speak to whilst you were away), coming to Las Nevadas.
You were sure that Purpled would come around eventually, but had no faith that anyone else would join Las Nevadas, until you had heard a strange noise in the night.
It had been a cross between a clang and a yell, and then almost like something being dragged.
You had been going over some of the contracts you had been preparing for if anyone ever did show up when you'd heard it, and your fiancé seem to be gone from his own office, and your bedroom even, so quickly you armed yourself with your sword before hurrying out after the noise.
The streets of Las Nevadas were still partially lit by street lamps as you hurried along, it didn't take you long to find your fiancé, just outside of city limits, pacing In front of a strange looking hole.
"What the hell are you doing?" You hissed.
"Hey! It's (y/n) from Las Nevadas!"
You jumped at the voice, turning to see that no, the hole wasn't green, that the same slime boy from before was sitting in it.
"You! What are you doing here?!" You exclaimed.
"Quackity from Las Nevadas put me in this hole!" He said cheerfully.
Quackity grabbed your shoulder, turning you away from Slime and the hole, "You know him?"
"He was trying to look through my stuff after I talked to Purpled," You explained, glancing back over at the hole, "Said he sees just about everything, uhh, as far as I can tell, he's like the hybrids- but- weirder."
"Nope! I'm just a totally goopless guy! I'm bones and stuff!" He called from the hole.
"Oh god we have crazy people here." Quackity muttered scrubbing a hand over his face.
You moved to crouch next to the hole, "What- uh- What are you doing here buddy?"
"Oh I'm just oozing around. Dap me up!"
Confused, you complied, nervously laughing as he grinned at the handshake.
"I found him spying in the restaurant." Quackity sighed.
"What's spying?" The boy in the hole asked, "I just listen."
"Yeah well tell me exactly what you heard or I'll ill you right now!" Quackity threatened, pulling out his sword.
He hummed, "Well, I saw you, and I saw (y/n) from Las Nevadas. And there was a green guy, and a purple guy. I know of a Red guy, dead guy but he's not dead anymore-"
Your breath hitched, "Dead guy?"
"Yeah, looked real ashy- maybe even ...sooty?..." He confirmed.
Quackity glanced back at you, "And he's not dead anymore?"
"No. He's weird now. Got gray hair instead of grey skin. Used to run a country- got blown up though."
"How much have you seen man?" You asked, incredulous.
He shrugged, "I mean, I move slow but I've seen a lot. Lately a lot of conversations about taking advantage of the ever so fragile human psyche through gambling."
"Holy shit." you muttered.
Quackity glared up into the night sky, almost looking for an answer.
Shifting closer too look at the boy you frowned, "What's all that green stuff?"
"Oh- those are just- my totally normal- human parts! I'm a person!" He grinned.
You sighed, "Uhh, look, what's your name? Like how I'm (y/n) from Las Nevadas, who are you?"
"Oh, I'm goop from the ground!" He smiled for a moment before realizing his mistake, "I mean- I'm a meat person!"
Quackity still seemed to be praying to the sky, not paying any attention.
"Goop from the ground," You muttered, slowly connecting the dots, "Well, uhh, goop, how bout I give you a regular person name?"
"A person name? Oh boy!" He laughed.
You thought for a moment longer, "How about- Charlie?"
Charlie grinned, somehow even wider than before, "Woah! I have a real human name! Like any other regular human meat person!"
"Yep, you do." You chuckled.
"And, to be clear, I definitely am one of those, and not a piece of goop, that's slowly come to the surface, hiding as a person!"
As you continued to talk with Charlie, Quackity seemed to come to a realization, "He's like an accidental spy!"
And, when you helped him out of the hole Quackity was quick to say, "Well, this- this- was- was uh a formal greeting! Yeah that's what we call them!"
"Wow!" Charlie mused.
The walk back to Las Nevadas was quiet, until Charlie turned to you, "(y/n) from Las Nevadas, if I'm Charlie- where- where?"
You smiled, "Do you want to be Charlie from Las Nevadas?"
~~
By the end of the same week, after having gotten Charlie fully on board, and slight agreement from Foolish, word finally came from Purpled.
You'd been working on the next phase of the whole Nevadas Project when Charlie rushed in, "(y/n) from Las Nevadas! There's someone here!"
You frowned, "Who?"
"Purpled from UFO!" He practically yelled.
Standing, you tucked your papers away, "That's perfect Charlie, thank you. Do you want to come with to help show him around?"
He nodded, following you out of your office.
Outside, you found Purpled, along with his dog, looking up at the casino in awe.
"Purpled! You came!" You called cheerfully.
The boy turned, a strange expression you couldn't read on his face, "What? No 'I told you so'? No 'I knew you'd come around eventually'?"
You shrugged, "I'm just glad you finally came."
He sighed, "It's not like they needed me anywhere else."
You put a hand on his shoulder, "That's alright, We need you here."
"They- I went to tell Ponk I was leaving," Purpled sounded too broken, too tired, "He said he was too busy to talk to me."
Before you could say anything, he continued, "I had a house, near L'Manhole. I- I uh blew it up, to see what would happen," His shoulders began to shake, ever so slightly, as he finished in a whisper, "No one even noticed."
In one quick move you wrapped an arm around his shoulder and pulled him into a hug, "It's okay Kid, it'll be okay now."
That was how your fiancé found you, standing outside the main casino, a teen all but sobbing into your shirt, Charlie looking on confused.
~~
And so, the time passed, Las Nevadas grew, and you and your new little family did along with it.
Quackity found it funny, really, your ability to bring people onto your side be connecting with them emotionally, and as he put it, all but adopting them.
Charlie still took up a room in the apartments you and Quackity staid in above the offices. Purpled would come over when things around the country weren't so busy, and you'd talk for hours, Foolish joining in some of the time.
Fundy, on his first night in the city, had broken down to you, the same as Purpled, but you'd helped him put himself together. Though Tommy, Tubbo and Ranboo didn't have official places in Las Nevadas, it seemed a chunk of their time was spent there.
Yep, that was your new strange family. You, Your fiancé and the kids but not really young enough to still be kids you accidently adopted.
Now, you reflected on this quietly, from the top of the needle.
"You okay?" Quackity asked softly, looking over at you.
You chuckled softly, "Can you believe that it's been two years?"
"No, can you?"
You shook your head, "You know, I've been thinking. A long time ago, you told me we were better off with out Karl and Sapnap."
He watched silently, as you pulled the other two rings that you had kept, holding them up by the chain they were strung on.
"Maybe- you were right- and maybe it's finally time to get married. Just us. We didn't need them to get here, we won't need them for anything else."
A small smile slipped onto Quackity's lips, "Would you marry me?"
"You already know the answer to that." You chuckled.
"So it's a yes?"
"Obviously." You scoffed.
"When should we have the ceremony then?" He asked.
"Right now," You mused, "We opened that wedding hall for a reason, right? We could get married proper, right now. It's already decorated the way Tubbo originally planed."
He laughed, "Let's do it tomorrow that way we have time to get like, notices out and shit."
You smiled, "Of course."
The sun had begun to set during this discussion, and you looked out over the peaceful landscape with a soft sigh, yes, this, this was home.
And even as you heard Charlie tripping and crashing his way up the stairs, the thought still filled your head.
"Quackity and (y/n) from Las Nevadas!" He exclaimed, "Purpled from Las Nevadas found some people by the border!"
In an instant, both you and Quackity were standing, "What were they doing?"
"Looking around, real weird like. Fundy From Las Nevadas said they might be here to attack us! I hope they aren't."
You followed Quackity past him and back down from the tower, drawing your sword as Charlie called out where he had left Purpled and the mystery people.
What you found was not what you expected.
Purpled stood, sword drawn and pointed at the men you least expected to see now.
Karl looked scared, tucked back behind Sapnap who was moving to draw his own sword.
Not another move!" You barked, moving to stand in line with Purpled.
Karl's face light up upon seeing you, "(y/n)! Quackity! I missed you!"
"Did you?" Quackity spit.
"Sapnap drop your sword." You commanded, not paying attention to the strange look on their faces, no one, and I mean no, pulled a sword on your family.
He frowned, "Wh- (y/n) don't be like that. I get it- but- why..."
"What are your intentions? Why have you come here?" You asked.
"We wanted to find you!" Karl said, "We missed you (y/n)."
"Uhh, that's (y/n) from Las Nevadas to you." Charlie said.
Quackity sighed, grabbing Charlie by the collar and pulling him back, "Sorry- he's been learning sass and sarcasm lately."
"Still, what are you doing here?" You pushed.
"We wanted to find you! You've been gone so long, we thought we'd go looking." Sapnap explained.
"We've been gone?" You scoffed, "You were the ones who disappeared."
Karl moved forward, grabbing your left hand, and Quackity's right, "We just wanted to come back, to finally get married."
You pulled away, slowly sheathing your sword, "You can't be serious?"
"What do you mean?" Karl asked, the smile just beginning to drip off his face.
"You fucking left us- We were just trying to make a place for the four of us to be safe and you left us! And now you want back? Out of the blue?" Your voice steadily grew louder, "You cannot show up here after abandoning us like that!"
Quackity gently took your hand, murmuring, "(y/n)..."
"No. They don't get to do this!" You turned to him, watching his face change upon seeing the mix of anger and sadness in your eyes.
"W- We'll talk about this tomorrow, away from the kids," He asserted, for once not earning any protest about age from Purpled or Fundy, "Charlie, you think you can take these guys on a tour of the place?"
He nodded eagerly, "This way this way!"
As Sapnap, Karl, Purpled and FUndy began to trudge after him, Quackity turned to you, "(y/n)?"
You just shook your head, pulling your hand out of his and starting away.
~~ Purpled had followed the tour party quietly, taking a page from Charlie's book and watching, observing everything.
He had seen the pain in your face at the suggestion of marriage, and the anger in Quackity's just upon seeing them.
So, he followed the men warily, watching the way Karl exclaimed about how he had built an Effile tower just like the one in the city in Manberg, and the way that Sapnap mentioned fondly how the décor at the wedding hall matched the ones you two had always spoken about.
Hearing it nearly drove him mad. Did they not realize that it had all been for them? That dreams of them arriving were the only thing that had ruled Your and Quackity's minds?
When Charlie had directed the group, which by now included some of the other tourists, past one of the bars, he stopped.
Inside, Quackity was slumped at the bar, a bottle of whiskey in hand.
"Drinking away your problems won't solve them." Purpled sighed, pulling the bottle away from him.
"We were doing so good without them. You know that Purp. But here they are, back and ready to fuck things up again. That's how it's always been." He muttered.
The boy shook his head, "They don't realize how destructive they are? Do they?"
"Never have." He sighed.
"Lets get you back home."
Quackity allowed himself to be manhandled into standing, and then led out of the bar, back toward the offices, and toward the apartment.
"(y/n) will figure it out. They always do." Purpled assured him, pulling open the apartment door and ushering him in.
"But they shouldn't have too," He sighed, running a hand through his hair, not bothered by the way his beanie fell to the floor, "They've dealt with so much without help. Yet they're always the ones to help us."
~~
Once he had wrangled Quackity into the bedroom, Purpled headed back out, finding Fundy at the base of the Needle, "They up there?"
"Yeah," The hybrid sighed, "Quackity?"
"Got drunk. He's- painfully coherent though." He winced.
Fundy ran a hand through his hair, "It's hard to believe one of the nicest people around is the one to fuck them up like this."
"Makes perfect sense to me," Purpled said as they began to make their way toward the stairs, "My first night here- I was having a hard time, because- the whole server acted like I didn't exist. (y/n) told me about how Sapnap and Karl had abandoned them."
"Did it seem this bad though?" Fundy asked.
"No- but that was before they turned up again talking about marriage."
By now they had reached the top of the tower, and Purpled could see where you sat by the ledge, feet dangling over. Quietly, they both sat down on either side of you.
"How's Q?" You asked quietly after a moment.
"Drunk, but back at your apartment, well supplied with water." Purpled reported.
You nodded, "And K and- Karl and Sapnap?"
"Waaay to blissfully ignorant." Fundy said.
Quiet held you three in silence for a moment, until at last Purpled sighed, asking, almost bitterly, "So- are you gonna marry them? You were going to once."
"Even if I did it wouldn't change anything here." You mumbled.
"Sapnap was talking about how cool it would be to come back and visit from Kinoko after the honeymoon." Fundy admitted.
Before you could say anything Purpled drew one of his knees to his chest, "I- don't- it feels like they'd be taking you away from us- I like it the way it is. Things are nice, and they're just fucking it up."
Fundy nodded, "As much as I hate to say it, he's right. If you people all get married nothing will be the same. I kind of liked having parental figures, I don't want them messing that up."
"They won't." You promised softly.
By god, if you hadn't already made up your mind, their words would've swayed you.
~~ After a while, you stood, "Let's go home."
They followed you tiredly, Charlie joining the mini procession at one intersection, telling you that Sapnap and Karl had gone to get a hotel room.
At the apartment, Quackity was sitting on the couch, already seeming more sober than Purpled had told you. When you sat next to him, his arms were quick to wrap around you, holding you like a lifeline.
Charlie took his place on the other side of the couch, Purpled curled up in the armchair, and Fundy dug around until he found one of the old projectors he'd left there, queuing up a movie.
"Hey, just like on Nightmare's days!" Charlie laughed, referring to the infamous 16th, where, just about every month it seemed you, Fundy, Quackity and sometime Purpled would have nightmares of the Manburg Pogtopia war, and everyone would congregate in the living room to watch one of Fundy's movies.
"Sure as hell feels like one." Quackity muttered.
And so you watched the movie, though your thoughts drifted, thinking of how you would deal with your reappearing ex-fiancés.
As you thought, you created a mini script in your head. Exactly what you would say came you.
"You didn't need us then, and we don't need you now."
Yes, you thought, leaning more into Quackity's side, thats what you'd say, after you talked about your new family.
(and the next day, you did just that)

Levi Ackerman NSFW Alphabet
A = Aftercare (what theyâre like after sex)
Levi is a cleanliness freak and after a few moments of holding you and making sure that you are okay, he would get up and change the sheets. Means, you have to get up, too. And while you are up, you should go and take a shower. He will join you there and MAYBE this will lead to a second round. However, he will definitely make sure you are alright, clean, and safe. And tbh, there is no better feeling than going back to bed with Levi and cuddle into the fresh sheets.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partnerâs)
Levi is quite confident about his body despite his height. On himself, he especially likes his hands and his long, slender, and calloused fingers. They are quite aestethic and he knows how to use them on you, reaching places inside you that your own fingers cannot reach. However, these hands are also shed in blood. Therefore he loves to see that his hands can also be soft and caring on your body, and bring pleasure instead of death.
On you, Levi is definitely an ass and thigh kind of guy. But his favourite body part of you is your face: eyes, lips, nose, jawline... He loves when you glance over to him from the other side of the room, a little smile on your lips. He loves the blush tinting your cheeks. He loves the soft look in your eyes when you tell him that you love him. He loves to see you let loose when you come on him.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
Levi HATES to make a mess. So when he comes, he comes inside of you. He also thinks this is quite intimate and therefore likes it (plus, secretly thinking he is marking you. Boy sometimes is insecure). When it comes to oral, he wouldnât force you to swallow. If you wanna spit it out, he would hand you a tissue. Same if something drips out of your mouth because sometimes he comes A LOT.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Levi is pretty vocal about sex and wouldnât hide something from you, not even the awkward first-time-stories. But there is one thing he is shy talking about... he is not one to share his partner. EXCEPT for the two persons he trusts the most: Hanji and Erwin. Levi caught himself thinking about a threesome with his partner and one of them (or...a foursome...no too much trouble), but he would not dare to bring it up. He would be super embarassed if Erwin turned down the idea and he wouldnât want Hanji to tell everybody or to brag about it (they would do this, letâs be honest).
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what theyâre doing?)
Levi is over 30 years old, so he had gathered some experience. He started in the underworld, not necessarily because of need, but because he thinks it is something he is...supposed to do? Something that was normal for people to do? Later he also had sex when he needed to release some anger, and only later started to really enjoy it and to think about what techniques would please his partner. So, when the two of you start having sex, this guy knows what he does and is willing to learn everything about you and your preferations.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Doggy: He loves to push you down, a hand between your shoulders, your ass up in the air, pounding into you.
Missonary: Levi is a broken man and he loves to hold you close to him and bury his face into the crock of your neck.
Sitting: Both of you sitting, your legs wrapped around him, bodies closely pressed together, hand and lips everywhere they can reach. It is the most intimate position for the really emotional times.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? Are they humorous? etc.)
Levi is pretty serious in the bedroom, but he will make cocky remarks and smile a lot (sometimes also cocky, sometimes soft). Sometimes you will break out laughing because he cannot shut his shitmouth and will say something downright ridiculous.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? Does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
His hair down there is dark as well and neatly groomed, maybe even completely shaved. He is aware that bodyhair does not have anything to do with bad hygene, but he just feels better shaved or groomed. Leviâs body hair (and facial hair) also takes a lot of time to grow due to his time in the underground, but in this case it is rather beneficial for him.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
Levi is super intimate. Not necessarily overly romantic, but intimate. This is something between you and him, something special. So unless it is a quicky during stressful times, he will take his time and make sure that both of you feel good and loved. Often having sex with him is the closest you ever feel to him because Levi can show his affection better by acts than by words. Afterwards you sometimes have the deepest conversations.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
Leviâs sex drive is not the highest and he has no problem with not jerking off for a while. When he feels the need to do it, he will do it during his super effective shower sessions because this way it wouldnât make a mess.Â
However, when he is in a relationship, his longing gets stronger. If he cannot see you for some time or if the two of you just cannot find any time for the do, he will have a frustrating jack-off session, which only causes his need for you to grow.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Captain Kink: Levi likes to take the dominant part. He likes to hear you call him Heichou in bed, but not too often (he loves his name from your lips even more).
Bondage: Levi loves to tie you up and make you squirm beneath him. Orgasm denial is not a real kink of him, BUT he will do it all the time when you are tied up. When he gives you oral in this state, you can be sure it will take at least AN HOUR before he lets you cum.
Stockings: Since he is a leg guy, he enjoys seeing you wearing stockings. And he wouldnât admit, but seeing you taking on your boots and gear the next morning is a huge turn on for him. He cannot wait to take them off again in th evening.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
His bed or the floor of his room, where he has control over the mess the two of you make.
His desk. It will make much more of a mess and will make a chaos out of his paperwork, but he is a sucker for the view of you sprawled out on his desk.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
Levi is actually pretty hard to seduce, which makes flirting with him really hard. He notices the flirting, of course, but is good at ignoring it. As already mentioned, he gets pretty turned on when you get dressed into your boots and gear.
Whenyou spend the day apart from eachother, glancing at each other from a distance, waiting for the night to finally come.
N = No (something they wouldnât do, turn offs)
Degrading: Apart from public belief, Levi would NEVER degrade you because he hates being degraded so much. His whole life has been a pain so far, so why should he take this into the bedroom, where he just wants to show his partner his love?
He would also not hurt you. Maybe a few spanks or some very light choking and hair pulling, but he would never ever hurt you in any way. Same reason as above.
Donât. Call. Him. Daddy. He thinks this is super weird. Just stay with his name or Heichou/Captain.
Anything including piss or feces. Just no.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
Levi highly enjoys receiving oral, especially when he is sitting and you on your knees in fron of him. When you blow him, he will finally let loose and you can see his face slightly being tinted red, eyes closed, lips a little apart. His hand will be in your hair all the time and towards the end he cannot hold back and will thrust into your mouth once or twice. His low grunts get a little more high pitched when you run your tongue around his tip.
But Levi is also pretty talented in giving. As mentioned before, he likes to tease you with his mouth, loving the feeling of you squirming beneath him. Be prepared for a lot of edging, cause that little gremlin is a sucker for your desperate moans.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
Levi is a little more on the rougher side. His thrusts are deep and strong, his pace rather âaverageâ at the start, but he gets faster in the course of the act. If the two of you have some time, he will vary his rhythm, from slow and sensual to fast and strong, and back again. Quickies will be, as the name suggest, as quick as possible.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
Oh, talking about quickies: If you are in a relationship with Levi or anything like this, quickies will happen very often. He is a busy man und you most likely will also be part of the survey corps, so you need to use every little space of time you can get. This often results in steamy sessions in the forest against a tree, or a more private session in his office.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
So, semi public sex, like in the forest, is a thing. But he would always make sure to not get caught, especially not by some cadets.
Apart from that, he is pretty open in bed. Tell him what you would like to try and he will most likely agree, as long as it is nothing from his no go list. If he picks up something new (thanks to Hanji most probably) he will also not shy away from bringing it up and ask you about it.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
Oh boi, we are talking about Levi. When the two of you have a whole night, you have to be the one to stop him at some point - for your own sake. Levi can go for several rounds, even the whole night and this can easily be too much for someone without special power.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
So letâs imagine a more modern setting, because I think there are no sex toys in our common sense on Paradise Island. In a modern world, Levi would definitely get and try out some sex toys, especially vibrators which he could use on his partner. He would also be a little curious to try them out on himself, but he rather uses them for teasing you. He would have like 2 or 3 items, not too much, not too fancy.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Ohhh, be prepared for a lot of teasing. Levi enjoys to have a little power over you and your pleasure, and he will make use of it. He is especially unfair when it comes to oral, holding your hips in place while he is taking is sweet time to pleasure you. It drives you mad and this man has a lot of patience.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
Levi is not really loud, but his soft little grunts and moans are like music. He only gets a little louder when you tease him while giving him head, but he will also scold you for it. That shitmouth. Otherwise, you will hear him whisper âfuckâ and âshitâ while he is pounding into you and coming close to his climax.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
Levi is quite curious when it comes to new techniques. Soon after joining the squad, he discovers that Hanji has quite an interesting collection of books with...a lot of explanations and images. So one day, he asks them to borrow some of these books to study them. But before, he threatens Hanji with death if they tell anyone.
X = X-ray (letâs see whatâs going on under those clothes)
Have you seen Leviâs season 4 arts? This man is packed, damn. Errected I would say he is between 7âČ0 and 8âČ0. So Leviâs dick is pretty average in girth, but long. He knows how to use it as good as he uses his swords.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Leviâs sex drive is pretty low, since he is not a horny teen anymore. Of course, he feels the need from time to time, but he can pretty good control himself. When he is in a relationship, however, his sex drive will grow a lot, since it is one of the ways of showing you how much he loves you. If the two of you have time, you will easily have sex 3 or 4 times a week.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Levi only sleeps 3 hours per night, and this will not change after sex. He often holds you until you are asleep and gets up afterwards, to either sleep at his desk or do some paperworks. He will, however, make sure to be back in bed when you wake up.

âđđđđđđđđđđâ
â đ©đđąđ«đąđ§đ : Lara Tybur from aot (x reader)
â đđšđ§đđđ§đ đ°đđ«đ§đąđ§đ đŹ: smut warning, mention of mommy kink, cum, hair pulling, semi public sexâŠ
â đđźđđĄđšđ« đ§đšđđđŹ: hi guys <3 since you may know, Lara tybur is my new obsession⊠sheâs just so pretty and mysterious, Iâm in love. I always wanted to do a nsfw alphabet and I donât think anyone made one about her already so here I am!! Reblogs are very much welcomed since she isnât very popular in the fandom :(
âđđđ
đ đđđđđđđđ - đđđđâ
âčâ âA = Aftercare (what theyâre like after sex)
The sweetest creature. She always takes her time with you, no matter who was in charge during intercourse. Most of the time, she runs a bath for both of you; she then sits behind you, her hands all over your chest protectively. She takes her time and helps you wash your delicate skin. After that she just goes to sleep on her bed, her body all over yours or, sometimes, she holds you in her sleep, just to feel even closer to your warmth.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partnerâs)
Laraâs favourite part of her body is probably her breasts. Theyâre very soft, plump, and delicate, painted by the angels themselves. She loves when she finds the tip of your tongue all over them, your lips wrapped around her pink nipple, adoration in your eyes.
She probably prefers your face. Out of everything. She just loves it, the way your lips curve into a small smile at anytime of the day, the way your eyes shines when you notice something adorable, or even the way your gaze gets lost in hers whenever sheâs talking about anything.
But also the way your features feels under her touch when her core is all over your face, when her mouth is agape, eyes watering thanks to the stimulation youâre giving her, legs fragile and almost trembling.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
Sheâs such a dirty girl but she hides it very well. So, at first, sheâll pretend to hate it when you come undone all over her stomach but, too bad for her you had already noticed a glimpse of excitation in her eyes. Oh she loves it. So much. Thatâs why she adores when you ride her face, she can then have your wet pussy all over her mouth without any complaints.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Public sex. Or at least, semi-public sex. She loves the thrill of it, the excitation of feeling like you both could get caught in a minute if anyone opened the door, if anyone decided to turn in this poorly lit street⊠maybe that all she wants, someone seeing you and her like that.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what theyâre doing?)
I donât think sheâs very experimented. Her family is one of a kind. They're very strict and severe about her education and forbade her any misbehaving, including romantic relationships. But itâs for the better, now you can experiment everything with her.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Face riding like I previously explained, she loves feeling your entirety beneath her, feeling your warmth and all your wetness, being the cause of your pleasure. The view is pretty nice too.
Missionary, this goes without saying, very basic but she just loves feeling you close to her at such a vulnerable moment, whenever itâs you or her on top. She may have a preference for when sheâs under you, just so she can tease you more, caress your cheeks with her fingers or even digs her nails into your back when her pleasure is too much for her.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
Serious, as always. But she likes when you tease her a bit and try to make her smile and laugh. Okay maybe she isnât that serious.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
Well trimmed. I think that she doesnât really like when there is nothing down there but she doesnât like a bush either. So yeah, she keeps it well trimmed and obliviously her hairs are dark brown/ blackish.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
She loves whispering sweet nothings in your ears. Little âI love youâs hidden between two loud whimpers⊠Her lips are always all over yours, and her hand is always finding its way to yours too. She just feels better like that, her baby close to her.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
Oh, she used to do that a lot in her little bedroom. Since daddy and mommy never allowed her to do anything, she has to do it herself. But that was before you started sneaking in her room at night without her family knowing. Now she doesnât need her fingers anymore, why would she? Yours are so much better.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Hair pulling, sheâs always wearing this stupid bun, so you just love ripping off the hairband and grabbing all of her long dark brown locks in your fist when you hit from the back.
Mommy kink. The word probably slipped out of your mouth and you thought that it was the most embarrassing shit ever. No. She just smiled and continued what she was doing, calling you her little baby in your ears.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
Bed. Yeah itâs basic but itâs her favourite. Comfy and convenient, any positions or almost are possible and she just feels better there. Or just her bedroom in general because she likes when you fuck her on her desk when sheâs overworking <3
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
Her motivation is the little praises that escape your mouth when she fucks you to good as well as your melodious moans when she goes down on you. Nothing better for her than hearing all of that, feeling that sheâs pleasuring you.
N = No (something they wouldnât do, turn offs)
Anal. I really donât think sheâs into that at all. Or sheâll try maybe, if you really want to, but just once. An anal plug is her limit.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
Oh God she loves giving. Sheâs very good with her mouth too, she relies on your pretty noises to know if sheâs doing good or not. But donât get her wrong, she also loves when you do it on her too, especially when you use both of your tongue and fingers.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
Most of the time, she is slow and sensual. She likes taking her time on you, touching all of your soft skin, admiring your face when sheâs on topâŠ
But if youâre a bit rougher on her, she doesnât really mind either, in fact, she secretly loves it.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
She isnât a big fan of them to be honest, like I said she prefers when things are unhurried, sensual etc.
It doesnât mean that sheâs totally against it tho, she loves when you grab her thighs to put them on the kitchen counter before playing a bit with her body <3
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
Except for public/semi-public sex, I donât think that sheâll do too many risky things. Maybe she likes when you place your hand around her neck too.
Oh God yes and also she secretly likes when you threaten her to say everything to her parents (the fact that you sneak in her bedroom at night just to fuck her stupid) if she isnât obedient. Sheâs a very well behaved puppy after that !
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
She can last very long, we may forget it but sheâs very well trained, sheâs a Titan after all⊠So yeah no stamina problem for her, she can go for a lot of rounds.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
Youâre the one who introduced toys to her, showing her proudly your pretty collection. She loves them, really. Her favourite is the strap on, of course, especially when you use it on her little pussy, sheâs so sweet, all delighted to open her legs for you <3 She also likes using it on you, she likes penetrating you with a dildo when she eats you out.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
She likes to tease but not that much. Most of the time sheâs doing it very very discreetly in public, sitting on your lap and moving her thighs together slowly just for your to notice, when she bends down to pick up something she has âaccidentallyâ dropped just in front of you just so you can see the curve of her ass and a bit of her white lace lingerie.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
Aw, she was so timid at first, too embarrassed to make any noises in front of you. But after some nights, you told her and taught her that it was okay, that you really wanted to hear her pretty moans. She was very happy and now, you have to be the one to remind her to keep quiet when sheâs too loud.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
She loves when you fuck her with her clothes on. When you just lift her skirt and slid her pantie to the side because youâre too excited to penetrate her. Bonus point if you do that on the wall, floor or anything that isnât her bed.
X = X-ray (letâs see whatâs going on under those clothes)
I imagine her with very plump and round breasts, roseate nipples, and a toned stomach thanks to all of the training she had to go through. She doesnât have a tiny pussy tho, itâs very cute, her inner lips are a bit long, only half covered by her outer lips.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Not too high nor too low honestly. Sheâs kinda needy when you donât touch her for more than two days tho. She just loves doing it with you, she canât get enough.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Very very fast, once both of your bodies clean, she goes back to her bed and falls asleep. If youâre staying for the night (she always begs you to and honestly, how could you resist her.) sheâll try to stay awake a bit longer just so she can talk to you before you leave her the next morning.

NSFW Alphabet - Yang Jeongin (m)
A - Aftercare
Despite being on the more inexperienced side, I think Jeongin is responsible enough to know that aftercare is a must following sex, whether it be making sure you both are properly hydrated or helping you change the bed sheets. Because heâs usually babied by his members, this sweet boy treasures each moment heâs able to take care of you for a change though he wonât say no if you request to be the bigger spoon for a night or two.
B - Body Part
Seeing as our dear maknae has apparently gotten buff somewhere over the years, he likely takes pride in his biceps and arms in general as he damn well should. Weâll go more in depth about it later, but letâs just say Innie likes to use his strength in more ways than one⊠Moving on, Jeongin will never not be a fan of your neck. Mans has a bit of a marking tendency, but hormones aside, Jeonginâs in love with your scent, which seems to be more pungent around thah area. Plus, the crook of your neck also makes a good hiding place when heâs shy.
C - Cum
The only place this manâs cumming is in a condom. He may not be a baby anymore, but he doesnât want any other baby Jeongins showing up anytime soon. Changbin is already a handful enough as it isâŠ
D - Dirty Secret
Now itâs a bit out of the element here, but Jeongin sometimes gets tired of being coddled by his members. That being said, heâs had some fantasies about proving his grownessâfantasies that may or may not include getting caught eating you out until youâre a literal puddle by Chan or Hyunjin, or maybe fucking you into the wall just in time for Changbin or Seungmin to walk through the door. Not wanting to disrespect you or anything, he prefers to keep these thoughts to himself⊠just donât ask questions if he starts to get a little handsy during movie nights with the other boys.
E - Experience
Like most of the younger Stray Kids members, I donât think he has too much sexual experience. Heâs probably made out with a girl or two over the years, maybe felt her up a bit, but thatâs as far as his hands-on exploration goes. Even so, he probably has a general idea of how things are supposed to go, generously provided by stories from his members and the wonders of porn.
F - Favorite Position
Due to his lack of sexual practice, Jeongin probably has not found his all-time favorite position just yet. Heâs eager to try everything he possibly can, so expect to be blown away literally every time yâall do the do.
G - Goofy
Jeongin doesnât mind getting a little silly during sex every once and a while, but he also knows that a more sensual, serious mood is needed too. The first few times will definitely be more casual and light-hearted, kept alive by his playful grin and mischevious fingers. But even as you two begin to become more mature, that same youthful atmosphere will remain, making it feel like the first time every time.
H - Hair
He probably just lets it do itâs own thing honestly. As long as it doesnât get too unruly, he doesnât mind it all that much.
I - Intimacy
Seeing heâs likely never been in a serious relationship before you, heâs all about the ideal, romantic aspect of love making. And while there wonât necessarily be rose petals and silk sheets every time you guys have sex, he knows how to make you feel loved and wanted with just his touch alone. Eye contact is also a huge must for Jeonginâhe needs to see your face in the moment, to watch the pleasure overtake your body as he brings you to a headspace only few have the privilege to witness. It may sound cheesy, but I honestly wouldnât be surprised if he has a secret plan to marry you one day, already knowing youâre his forever person.
J - Jack Off
Innie is young, so itâs no surprise his hormones are a bit on the overwhelming side at times. For him, getting off largely depends on if and when he has a moment to himself, which is quite rare between his busy schedule and lack of privacy in the dorm. That being said, he probably masturbates no more than three times a week. If that.
K - Kink
Alright hoes, Iâm gonna start this off by saying Jeongin damn well has some sort of strength kink. Weâve all seen the size of those arms. Now he wouldnât necessarily manhandle you, but if the moment requires him to pick you up by your thighs, or maybe pin your wrists to the bed cause youâre getting a little too frisky, then a manâs gotta do what heâs gotta do. He also has a HUGE thing when you get all dressed up for him, whether it be in a dress/suit or a lingerie set. Some other honorable mentions of his include marking, praise, and the occasional teasing.
L - Location
Please, please, PLEASE let this man take you against the wall, or anywhere that lets him show off his strength. He turns into some type of beast, I swearâBonus points if yâall have the dorm to yourselves, because then he will literally take you against every single surfaceâŠ
M - Motivation
The second you compliment him, this man will be literal putty in your hands. He loves, and I mean LOVES, when you praise him for his stage performances or MV scenes. And donât let him catch you watching his fancams⊠or else prepared to get dicked into next year~
N - NO
BDSM is completely off the table for Jeongin. While he doesnât mind trying something new every so often, heâs just not comfortable treading into the kind of intense territory that would require use of a safe word. Heâs also just not a fan of power dynamics in general.
O - Oral
Sorry fam, oral is just not it for Jeongin. Itâs nothing against you, he just doesnât prefer blow jobs because of his tendency to finish too early, and heâd much rather practice other methods of foreplay to get you both off.
P - Pace
In the beginning stages of your relationship, Innie used to utilize a rapid, sloppy pace. After obtaining more experience, his stroke game is much, much better and more fluid, though he sometimes tends to revert back to an awkward pace when heâs close to climax. But like everyone, his skill and confidence will grow more over time.
Q - Quickie
The only time heâll settle for a quickie is if heâs completely and totally desperate for your touch. But even then, he needs to be sure your session will take place in an environment that is both private and isolated from any other people. But once heâs comfortable and secure, heâll drive you into the nearest wall with no further hesitation whatsoever.
R - Risk
Nope, nope, nopity, nope. While the idea of getting caught makes him feel all the things, Jeongin would rather not risk anyone actually walking in on you two when youâre being less than innocent. Especially his members, because if they do, he knows heâll never hear the end of it.
S - Stamina
Heâs got pretty decent stamina. Jeongin can usually go for some foreplay and maybe two rounds depending on how exhausted he is from his schedule. Then again, on days he is a bit more on the tired side, he wouldnât mind sitting back and letting you do most the work.
T - Toy
The most curious boy omg. Innieâs experience with toys probably stems from porn and the dark side of Reddit, so heâll be utterly fascinated if you own any nifty gadgets of your own. And while I donât think heâd actively shop for sex toys, he doesnât mind spicing things up in the bedroom with a couple vibrators, restraints, or sensation play objects.
U - Unfair
Donât let his adorable facade fool youâthis boy can be the WORST tease on any given day. Heâs the type of lover that will suggestively trail his hands across your breasts and thighs, then act all innocent when you call him out. Jeongin is also an expert in getting you to tell him what he wants to hear. For example, âYou want me to make you cum, baby? How exactly do you want me to do that?âŠâ
V - Volume
Honestly, this man is a moaning machine. And you may hear some cute little whimpers and whines in that mix too⊠At first, he was probably a bit bashful to make any noise in that context, but after some coaxing and needed praise from you, heâll never try to be silent again.
W - Wild Card
Let me set the scene for you: You and Innie watching some horribly budgeted rom-com you found on Netflix, and literally just making fun of the entire movie. That is, until the two main leads start making out in the back of a car. Oh, this shuts you both right up, especially when clothes start coming off and the car windows begin to steam up. The scene ends eventually, but this awkward, sexually tense silence still remains between you and Jeongin, and when you look to your blushing lover, you find him poorly attempting to cover his raging hard on. Then, he clears his throat and cutely stutters, âS-So⊠You wanna⊠you know?âŠâ
X - X-ray
Heâs a bit below average: 4.5-5 inches. But heâs got some thickness to his name.
Y - Yearning
As already mentioned, Innie tends to hold back in regards to his sexual needs for fear of coming across as a horn dog. You two probably do the nasty at least once a week, but I guarantee you can raise that number if you sit your boyfriend down and explain the concept of a mutually beneficial relationship huehuehue.
Z - ZZZzzz
If thereâs one thing that Jeongin loves most in the world, itâs being in your arms after a long and stressful day. Whether or not you choose to end the night with an orgasm or two, heâll settle himself atop your body, using your breasts as his own personal pillows, and just let his tension melt away in the comforting warmth of your touch. And though heâd never admit it, sometimes he doesnât really mind being babied after allâŠ

Dream SMP Reacting to a Witch!Hybrid
Pronouns: they/them
Includes: Dream, Quackity, Wilbur, qnd Tommy (PLATONIC)
Warnings: Meantion of drugs, swearing
A/N: This is based off of the canon characters and is set in the time of the Pogtopia/Manburg war!!! I might write a second part if this goes well. Also, this is the first thing I have written for this fandom, so I hope I get the character personalities correct. This is not beta read, so please don't attack me on my poor grammar skills. đ
I hope you all enjoy!!! đ
Dream
He was mining when he first met you
Dream heard a malicious cackle on the dark side of the cave and slowly drew his sword
He decided to charge towards the strange noise and was quickly met with an invisible body under him
He furrowed his brows and felt the body shuffle out from under him
"BEGONE STRANGE MAN"
"... excuse me?"
After a moment, Y/N's potion has worn off
"Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck-"
Dream chuckled and put away his sword, deciding the person in front of him wasn't a threat
After Y/n calmed down, the two had a talk, explaining the situation
Turns out, you had thought of a joke while mining for redstone (hence the laughter)
"So where is your hat and huge nose? You are really attractive for a witch."
"Luckily, I got my attributes from my father. What was that last part?."
"Wait, what about your hat?"
"I haven't done laundry in a few days.... hold up did you just say I was attractive?"
Ever since then Dream has had you by his side partly because he is a little clingy creating potions for him and the rest of the dream team
"How do you feel about cursing children?"
"I'm not that kind of witch, Dream."
"But what if he was being a little blonde bitch?"
"DREAMWASTAKEN I SWEAR TO GOD-"
Loves bringing you stuff to use for your projects
Need blaze rods for a new brewing stand? Done.
Need lapis lazuli so you have a chance for better communication? Done.
Anything you want? Done.
He will literally go to the nether for a few hours and come back with his arms full of whatever you need
And if you don't need anything or just need to take a break, he'll spend the day taking you anywhere that he think you would be happiest
He has you make him a lot of potions, bragging to everyone on the server how much better at creating potions you are
"Y/n's potions last longer, are more effective, prettier-"
"Are you sure? I think-"
"Tell me what you think, I fuckin dare you >:( ."
Overall, he is your #1 supporter
Quackity
The day had been long, dealing with Schlatt definitely tires a guy out after 5 minutes
On his walk on the outskirts of the Manburg wall, he spotted a suspicious row of blaze powder leading to the woods
Dawning his armor and a sword, he followed the trail to a small hut
He could see the outline of someone in the hut nervously pacing around
Deciding what he thought was the best possible option, he knocked on the door of the hut
There was immediately the sound of glass bottles falling on the floor and muffled words
Soon, the door swung open to reveal a disheveled being with a nervous grin
And Quackity went from tough to awkward
"C-Can I help you with something?"
"Uh, do you waNT SOME DRUGS?"
"ExCuSe Me?!"
Everything was going to shit
After a moment of awkward staring, a glass bottle tumbled off the brewing stand
Upon focusing on what was going on behind the two people trying and failing to act normal, they both saw that every brewing stand was on fire
"ARE YOU ACTUALLY MAKING DRUGS?!"
"NO I'M JUST REALLY BAD AT THIS POTION."
Finally putting the fire out together, the two looked at their now soot stained clothes
The witch hybrid ran a hand through their hair and sighed
"Well this is completely ruined."
Quackity frowned a little hesitant to offer his help
"If you need to you could borrow some brewing stands-"
"Really? *-* "
On the walk back to Manburg, you explained who you were
Quackity was still a little confused
"Wait but what potion were you even brewing?"
"Fire resistance."
He immediately burst out laughing, which ended up with you slapping his arm repeatedly
Eventually, you two became the definition of the "friends to lovers" trope
You often helped him de-stress after stressful days in office with Schlatt
He'd try whatever you recommended
"I'd suggest putting quartz on your nightstand."
"Cool!"
Later that night, you forgot something at his house
Once you walked into his house, you could see stacks of quartz next to his bed.
He really trusted any advice you could give him
And on days where people would criticize you for being part witch?
Big Q will attack anyone
Even if he knows he will lose
And at random parts of the day he'll just tell you oddly inspirational thoughts
"You are a bad bitch, dare I say a bad witch. Own that shit."
"That is oddly motivational, thank you. :) "
Wilbur
The former president was strolling along the side of a river, trying to form a coherent plan of action
Upon noticing a person trudging out of the water fumbling with glass bottles, Wilbur jogged over to them and put a careful hand on their shoulder
"Are you okay?"
The person moved the soggy hat out of their face and smiled
"Yeah, I just fell in the water while trying to fill up some of the bottles, but thanks for checking on me!"
He hummed in response, wondering why he was already so interested in the being before him
"Well I should probably get going, but thank you!"
"Wait! What's you name?"
"It's Y/n, and you are..?"
"Wilbur Soot, it was an honor meeting you, Y/n."
This man spent the rest of the night thinking about you and who the hell you were
He didn't know much about the mysterious person, but he did know that they were one of the most alluring people he had met in a long time
It was weeks since he saw you, Wilbur nearly gave up searching
That was until you walked into him on a rainy day
The brunette immediately went in defensive position and pulled the stranger to his chest, despite the dampened clothes
"Um, Mr. Soot?"
He looked down to see you and his face lit up
"Y/n! It's a pleasure to see you again."
He took a small step back and kissed your hand
No one can convince me that Wilbur "Gentleman" Soot does not flirt by giving hand kisses
The two went into Pogtopia and Wilbur almost immediately wrapped his coat around you
"What were you doing out there? The rain is coming down so hard you must not have been able to see well."
"I was going to ask if I could borrow a few golden carrots for a potion I'm making."
Wilbur nodded and walked towards the stared and whisper shouted down
"TOMMY BRING ME SOME GOLDEN CARROTS!"
"BUT WILBUR, I-"
"PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME LOOK BAD IN FRONT OF THE STUNNING WITCH!"
The boy at the bottom of the stairs grumbled and the tall man sat next to you once more
After a few minutes of Wilbur fawning over everything you did, a blonde male walked up the steps and glared at Wilbur as he handed you the carrots
"Simp..."
Wilbur dramatically gasped as you chuckled next to him
You eventually started coming over to Pogtopia practically every day
Most of the time it was to see Wilbur, but the rest of your time was spent creating potions for the war
As the nation grew, you were brought out of your shell more with Wilbur introducing you to everyone
He didn't want you to feel uncomfortable in a new place
You often walked along the same riverbank where you met
You have definitely pushed each other off a few times
He keeps small things that you enjoy on him at all times
He keeps a tiny bottle of sand from the river you met at, a piece of your old robe, and so much more in his pockets
Whenever he feels like he's in a dark place or justneeds to ground himself he takes out one of the items and just holds it close.
Mans is so in love
Tommy
He met you in the nether while you were farming netherwart
The blonde was thrilled to find a new fortress and decided to raid it before reinforcements came
Seeing a sleeping figure next to a bed of sould sand, he took a few congident steps forward
Once close enough, he poked you with the stick
"You good?"
"I was good when I was asleep."
"AYE I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD SO-"
After arguing for what felt like hours, you both stormed off to find both exits being blocked by wither skeletons
Tommy had gotten beaten up pretty bad after the fight so you took him back to your hut to get all patched up
"I didn't even need your help. I'm tougher than I look."
"You legitimately passed out twice on the way here."
"HOW DARE YOU, I WAS RESTING MY EYES!"
After a few hours of healing and a ton of laighter, you two became the most chaotic duo in the smp
This british raccoon child would often steal small potions to pull pranks
But unless they were really important and you needed them back, you'd always join in on the pranks
He tried to get you to make a potion using the 'Tubbo Bath Water' one time
It did not end well
At the point in your friendship where you revealed you were a hybrid, Tommy was so confused
"That makes no sense, witches are still humans, right?"
"Yeah..?"
"So how does that make you a hybrid?"
đđđ
"Listen here you little shit-"
He likes to show you off to anyone that can listen
"You think you're special? HA! I have a best friend that is part witch and they will kick your ass. >:)"
He is really interested in everything you do but will never ask
But if you tell him about what you're doing unprovoked?
Tommy would get so happy
He is so excited to learn what you have to teach and would be one of the best friends ever

HAPPY STAR TREK DAY!
(although if you live in Canada, âStar Trekâ day was two days ago, because the show was broadcast there first)
Today marks the 55th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise. Â Premiering on the NBC network at 8:30 pm, the country encountered most of the crew of the USS Enterprise for the first time in the episode The Man Trap.
Although it was the first episode broadcast, The Man Trap was actually the sixth episode produces.  However, it was a good choice as a premier because it  included most of the main cast as well as many of the elements that would become staples of the series.
First and foremost being the USS Enterprise, a ship unlike any other ever seen.
Ah, the old NCC-1701! Â She is a thing of beauty!
The episode, of course, opens with the familiar voice over âCaptainâs log,â which was a wonderful storytelling device for setting the narrative.  But even though we hear Captain Kirkâs voice first (although we donât know his name yet), Spock is the first major character we see.  The log entry informs us that Spock has been left in charge onboard the Enterprise.
We also get our first glimpse of Lt. Uhura, seated at the navigatorâs station. Â It wonât be until a little later that we learn that she is the communications officer for the ship. Â But this quick scene establishes that the Enterpriseâs crew is very diverse (an alien and a Black female both on the bridge), which raised more than a few eyebrows back in 1966.
Next we get our first view of the transporter effect.  There is no explanation given as to what is happening, other than Kirkâs voiceover stating that he and Dr. McCoy are âbeaming downâ to the planetâs surface.  Star Trek, especially in the early days, decided the audience would be able to figure out what was happening.
Then we get out first look at Captain James Kirk and Dr. Leonard âBonesâ McCoy.  The scene immediately establishes the friendship between the two, with Kirkâs gentle teasing of his shipâs doctor.  Also note, this is the shortest youâll see Kirkâs hair in the entire series.  Heâs got a proper military cut here; by the end of the third season he almost looks like a hippie.
Thereâs also a great bit later on, when Kirk and McCoy are speaking to each other on the ship via viewscreen. Â McCoy tells Kirk heâs having trouble sleeping. Â Kirkâs reply:Â âTry taking one of those red pills you gave me last week. Â Youâll sleep!â
Throughout the episode weâve seen Kirk as the tough, no-nonsense, by-the-book captain who commands the respect of the people he leads. Â But these bits with McCoy show his humorous, human side that makes him a great character. Â I truly miss first season Kirk, especially the first part of the season, because thatâs my favorite version of him.Â
Peppered throughout the episode are shots establishing many of the other characters  who will become regulars on the series.   Here we have Yeoman Janice Rand, who we learn is the captainâs yeoman and quite popular among the male crew members.
Unfortunately, Yeoman Rand only appeared in eight episodes spread across the first half of the season. Â
Rand delivers the tray of food at the botany lab, where we meet Sulu for the first time.
Since this is the first time the audience see Lieutenant Sulu, it would be understandable if it was assumed that he was just a botanist. Â Actually, Sulu had a few different positions in the first season (he was a physicist in the second pilot Where No man Has Gone Before, which would be broadcast 2 weeks after The Man Trap).
Surprisingly, Lieutenant Uhura seemed to get the most screen time of all the secondary characters. (not that Iâm complaining; Nichelle Nichols is absolutely gorgeous!). Â Earlier on the bridge she was flirting with Spock (with Spock subtly tugging on his shirt collar, indicating his discomfort), and then chastising him for his apparent lack of concern when he learned that a member of the landing party is dead. Â Here she is being the queen that she is, teaching two other crew members proper turbolift etiquette: you let the person in the lift get out before you get in (same goes for elevators, just in case you didnât know).
Two other recurring characters, Chief Engineer Montgomery âScottyâ Scott and Nurse Christine Chapel, are the only two not seen in this episode.  Scottyâs voice, though is heard on the communicator responding to Kirk from the transporter room. As for Nurse Chapel, she was not introduced until The Naked Time, which was the next episode (#7) produced, but the fourth to air.
One thing which I didnât notice until I rewatched this episode just now (or maybe I did notice, but just forgot) is that Kirk is carrying a phaser almost the whole show, even while on the bridge.
Sharp-eyed viewers may also spot various crew members in older uniforms, like those worn in the two pilots, The Cage and Where No Man Has Gone Before.
Some people may call these continuity errors, or chalk it up to the wardrobe department recycling costumes for the extras. Â But anyone whoâs been in the military knows thereâs always a transition period when new uniforms are introduced. Â For example, my Basic Training class was the absolute last in the Army to be issued the old olive drab green fatigues. Â The next class was issued the new woodland camouflage BDUs that became the standard for the next ten years. Â I was given six months to purchase a full set of BDUs (you read that right: I had to buy them with my own money). Â However, unless BDUs were specifically designated as the uniform of the day I was able to wear the o.d.green fatigues for another two years until they were phased out completely. I imagine these crew members are in a similar situation.
A few more Star Trek âfirstsâ from The Man Trap:
Kirk (or any crew member) using the communicator. Â Kirk is on his communicator a lot this episode.
The Enterprise on red alert.
A gun - or, more correctly, phaser - battle.  Here we see Professor Crater armed with an âold styleâ phaser, but really just them same type that was used in the two pilots.
The very first phaser shot, as Professor Crater snipes at Kirk and Spock.
Kirk firing his phaser.  Donât worry, itâs set on âstun.â
Professor Crater getting struck by phaser fire.  Donât worry, it was set on âstun.â  Heâs going to talk like heâs drunk for the next few minutes.
Kirk and Spock planetside, establishing that the two highest ranking officers will beam down alone to handle a dangerous situation. Â Itâs not like they have an entire Security Department on board the ship.
The very first meeting in the Briefing Room.
The crew at various stations on the bridge, although Uhura and Sulu are not at their usual posts, which just shows that this crew is highly competent and can handle multiple duties. Â Oh, and two of them happen to be women, and tow are people of color.
Sulu chiming in on the meeting via viewscreen.
And then, because it was a science fiction television show in the 1960s, the network insisted there be a monster. Â So we got the salt vampire, the shape-changing creature that had been killing all sorts of people by sucking the salt out of their bodies. Â Not too scary by todayâs standards, but I wouldnât want to run into it in a dark alley.
The first time we get to see Kirk make that face as he screams in pain.
And the first time we see a dead monster/alien on the Enterprise.
The, finally, the what will become familiar denouement with everyone on the bridge as Kirk gives the order for the Enterprise to break orbit and proceed to its next assignment. Â Notice that Sulu has finally managed to make it to the helmsmanâs station.
Headed off into space for another adventure next week!
1966 was a great year. Â It gave us Ultra Q. Ultraman, Ambassador Magma (aka The Space Giants), The New Adventures of Superman animated series, the Slurpee and, of course, Star Trek.
55 years later Star Trek is more popular than ever, with several new television series available, and another feature film in the works. Â Hereâs hoping for another 55 years of exploring the galaxy!

Congrats on 600+ followers! May I request fluff no. 18 with Azul with a g/n reader who works on campus catching him off guard because they're naturally suave? Love your works btw >w>
A/N: Ah thank you for the compliment! And the writer is going to be perfectly honest...I kinda went rouge with this prompt request. I didnât expect to be so into it but Iâm an Azul simp so maybe its just in my blood q wq.Â
Warnings: None! Unless you count Azul embarassing himself as one.Â
Azul AshengrottoÂ
Azul hated everything about this.
It was just a simple question. Were you free tonight? Azul had planned out a perfect excuse to get you to drop by the Monstro Lounge as well as a brand new appetizer set that he had put on the menu that would hopefully keep you in the Monstro Lounge and in the company of Azul.
And then maybe, just maybe, Azul could believe that he had a date with you.Â
The plan was flawless in his eyes
He knew you weren't doing anything tonight, had planned each appetizer based on what you usually ordered when you went over and handpicked an array of conversational topics which were all ordered based on how interesting you would find them.Â
All he had to do now was just...set it into motion. Which is good! No plan this good should be kept in the dark.Â
So why did he hate every single aspect of this?Â
Ever since your little 'hardworking' comment back in the Atlantica museum, Azul started drafting what ended up being a five page outline on how to get you to be his friend. After spending more time with you he extended the outline to ten pages in order to include how he would get you to visit Atlantica and his parent's restaurant. Followed that came several more hangouts as well as you offering to work for Monstro Lounge for some extra madol and Azul didn't necessarily know how a five page outline turned into a fifteen page outline complete with color coordination on events he deemed important in your relationship as well as future events he had already planned out that would get your feelings for him to change into something with a more...romantic overture.Â
"Oh. Hey Azul!"Â
This was it. No turning back. Every single muscle in his body was tensed despite how relaxed and poised he looked on the outside
"[Y/N]-san. Lovely seeing you here."Â
"Feeling is mutual." you smile, "Need help finding a book?"Â
First hurdle. Reply with a flirtatious comment or state his intentions clearly.Â
"No,I am just here...to check out books..."Â
Oh Great Witch, he wouldn't be able to pull this off would he?Â
Azul needed to call the whole thing off, needed to go back and draft any other scenario that didn't start with him stating the blatantly obvious--!Â
"Oh well good! Do you need my help?"Â
Or maybe not? An excuse to stick by your side had presented itself and Azul would be damned if he didn't take it.Â
"I need a book on human's thoughts on Atlantica before the start of the 21st century. I thought it would be an interesting read for both me and Jade."Â
Azul can't help the softness he feels in his heart as he watches you think to yourself before placing a finger on your lips.Â
âTwisted Wonderland history...that should be over in the next couple of shelves. Wanna follow me?âÂ
Yes. YES!Â
âIf that would be alright with you.âÂ
Sky blue eyes take in your form, letting his mind wander as you talked about...well he wasnât necessarily listening. With you being this distracted Azul could take all the time he wanted staring at way your lips moved and how your eyes looked when staring at him--
âAzul? Did you hear what I said?âÂ
He blinks when your words reach his ears, blushing when realizing that he had been staring so much he truly had no idea what you were talking about. No need to panic or get carried away, however, this was perfectly normal in conversations.Â
âI apologize. I have been a little out of it.âÂ
You stop walking beside him, halting Azulâs step as you looked at him.Â
âAre you alright?âÂ
Damn you. That was the sort of thing that Azul loved and hated about you. You were in a world that wasnât your own and were almost pushed to take up odd jobs here and there to make ends meet and you were asking about his well-being? Friendship or possible romantic relationship be damned, Azul just wanted you by his side constantly.Â
If he could rope you into a contract that would assure that it would be so much easier than having to plan out an entire situation to get what he wants, but you at least were worth the trouble.Â
âMore than alright. Even I tend to get distracted.âÂ
Your cheery smile comes back as you both keep walking, you speaking up after a few seconds.Â
âI asked what had brought you here.âÂ
You.Â
âJust the book I suppose...and the company that came along with it.âÂ
First flirtatious comment made and the small look of surprise was his prize. Catching you off guard was one of the goals he had set for himself in this conversation so he could promptly check that off.Â
âAnd you?â he adjusted his glasses before smiling his practiced charming smile, âDo you come here often?âÂ
âWell considering I work here...yes.âÂ
Azul can almost hear a pin drop when you say that, his eyes somehow abandoning his tunnel vision and realizing what you looked like.Â
A small name badge on your uniform, a lanyard with several keys that he guessed would help you open several library doors and a trolley (how did he miss a trolley!?) full of books that you were currently pushing.Â
âRight...of course...I knew thatâŠâÂ
A small chip cracks off from his pride, the whole thing coming tumbling down as you laugh. How did he miss such a BIG detail?Â
âDid you really not notice? I was even putting books away!âÂ
All he can do is open and close his mouth like a fish out of water, face turning an embarrassing shade of red as he tries to excuse himself from your presence. He just wanted to hide in a pot and never come out! The moment he got to the dorm he would tear that outline in half because what was the point if he missed something so little! Why would you even want to be friends with someone like him when he didnât even know the more basic things about you!Â
Stars, he just wanted to die.Â
You wipe a tear from your eye before putting a hand on a shelf, âOh my goodness...that was really funny. You should find the book you want here, âzul.âÂ
â...thank youâŠâÂ
Azul sighs and goes to look for whatever title he had told you he wanted but stops when a hand tugs on his wrist.Â
âWell donât leave me alone just yet. I have a question for you.âÂ
You pull out your phone, âI get off at six today. Do you mind if I drop by the Monstro Lounge to hang out?âÂ
His heart does a little flip as his entire posture straightens out.Â
âI--âÂ
âYeah I know you guys close at five and donât open until eight for weekends but I thought we could just hang out in your office. We clearly need to catch up if you didnât know I work here now.âÂ
You move closer, the little flips in Azulâs heart turning into major acrobatic leaps as you smile at him.Â
âSounds like a date?âÂ
Azul doesnât necessarily remember what happened after that, all he remembers is nodding far too quickly that his glasses almost flew off and then tripping on air when you finished helping him check his book out.Â

i ainât gonna face no defeat
in which alex was a figure skater.
word count: 2,916
some willex, juke if you squint
tw: occasional swearing, period-typical homophobic parents (q word is used as a slur exactly once)
âââ
âCut off my circulation even more, why donât you?â Alex grumbles, grabbing his arm away from his sister.
She rolls her eyes and nudges him as he adjusts the arm band. âHey, feel lucky youâre even doing this. I donât think Mom and Dad actually realize what youâre skating to.â
Alex hesitates and sucks on his teeth. âYou think theyâll be mad?â
âOh, theyâll be livid,â she deadpans, then smiles softly. âBut they canât stop you.â She gives him a pat on the shoulder as he leans over to pull on his boot covers. âIâm gonna head to the bleachers. Break a leg!â
Alex calls after her, not looking up, âThatâs only for theater and you know it, Mel!â
A few minutes later, heâs called to the boards, and he canât shake off his damn jitters. He knows heâll be fine once the music starts, but right now his skate guard wonât come off and he really has to pee all of a sudden and oh my god why is he wearing a tank top when itâs so fucking coldâ
Alex steps onto the ice, and the announcer calls his name while he glides into a stretch before taking his beginning pose. He ignores the way his arm, raised in a fist, is shaking while the beginning harmonies start to play, and he skates.
âąâąâą
Alex began figure skating when he was six. It was an odd situation, really; he didnât care about doing it one way or another, and he wouldâve been fine with not doing it since his parents would always say it was a girlâs sport. His little sister, Melanie, however, wanted to skate so badly, but with her being the four-year-old she was, she was terrified of doing it alone. Begrudgingly, his parents signed him up for lessons alongside her.
Much to their dismay, he was good. Like, really fucking good. He landed his first single jump after only two years, and his first axel after six. He managed to get height in a way that his coachâs other skaters didnât; maybe it was the inner pent up anxiety making him bounce like a jumping bean, who knows.
Alex wasnât just good at jumps, either; he got his Y-spin after four years. He was that kid on the ice who accidentally cut people off with an impeccable spiral. When he practiced his programs, the other kids would move towards the boards to give him room and sneak a glance.
As much as Alex liked the attention from his peers (god, that support system was something else), he couldnât help but feel disappointed that his parents never sat in on his sessions. They would only ever come to the shows and competitions his sister was a part of; he had to find his own ride to the others (thank god for Bobby's parents, honestly). It had made him angry at first that they didnât want to be involved, but as he grew older, and learned more about himself, he realized he could use it to his advantage. He could skate to anything he wanted.
Alex was 13 when he chose to skate to Somebody to Love. To anyone else, it was very unassuming, just another kid skating to a popular song at the time, maybe even a tribute, since Freddie himself had passed two months before. It was everything to Alex, though. He pulled out all of the stops; his costume was the whole armband and wifebeater getup, and his coach let him assist in choreographing it.
He didn't know it was his last program.
âąâąâą
"Hey, Alex?"
He looks up from his math homework and hums in recognition.
Mel bites her lip and leans against the doorframe before mumbling, "I wanna quit."
Quit? Shit, nononononoâ "ânonononono, Mel, you can't quit! If you quit, they're gonna make me quit!"
She closes the door softly behind her and walks slowly up to him. "Alex, the only reason I've been skating for the past year was so you could keep doing it. I'm really sick of skating at this point, and I wanna switch to something else. I'll keep going if you really, really want me to, butâ" She sits next to him on his bed, lowering her voice to a whisper, "You saw how they reacted to the recital, 'Lex. You think they might make you quit anyway?"
Alex sighs and squeezes his eyes shut. She's right, he knows she's right. It just fucking sucks.
He tilts his head back. "You can quit," he whispers.
Mel places her hand on his and squeezes, whispering back, "I'm sorry." Alex looks back down at her. "I really with there was something we could do, but there isn't," she continues, recollecting her hand. "At least your last program was a good one."
He gives her a sad chuckle. "Yeah, I guess so. And, I'll have more time to focus on the band. Luke'll be happy about that."
Mel rolls her eyes, takes a breath, and leaves Alex to his own devices with a pitying look.
If she hears him practicing the beat to Somebody to Love in the basement the night she officially quits, she doesn't say anything.
âąâąâą
"Julie, what are you doing up there?"
Julie throws a shoe over the wall of the loft and into the evergrowing pile on the floor. "Cleaning out all of your old junk. Which one of you had a magician phase?" she asks, holding up a cheap, ratty top hat and matching plastic wand. "It was Reggie, wasn't it?"
Alex chuckles to himself, poofing up next to Julie. "Why do you think he knew who Caleb was when we met him?"
Julie lets out a loud laugh, continuing her digging. "Are the other guys here?"
"Nah, they're looking for a gig. I just got back from the park," Alex answers.
âJust the park?â Julie asks sarcastically, and before Alex can retort, she adds on, standing up straight, âHey, whose skates are these?â
Sheâs holding his old figure skates in her right hand.
The black fabric is a little faded, with the familiar scuffs still on the toe. His dark blue skate guards are all dusty, but the blades still somehow look intact, given there wasnât much opportunity for water damage in a loft.
Alex scratches the back of his neck, ignoring the rising blush in his cheeks and bracing himself for the inevitable teasing. âThose, uh, those are mine, actually.â
Julie looks up from the boots at him in awe. âWhoa, you skated? Thatâs so cool!â
Alex drops his hand, mouth open in hesitation. âReally? Itâs not... weird to you?â
He can recall a tight grip on his arm, firmer than the band that had been ripped off. "Alex, what made you think it was okay to pull off this kind of stunt? You don't want people thinking you're some kind of queer, do you? Why we've let you continue this is beyond me, it isnât any good for you.â
âWhy would it be weird?â Julie asks, quirking her head to the side in such a Julie way that Alex wouldâve laughed if he wasnât so worried.
He shrugs, shuffling his feet from side to side, and mumbles with a wince, âI donât know, because Iâm a guy and figure skating is like, a girly sport, I guess?â
Julie shakes her head, eyebrows furrowed with a soft smile on her face. âFirst off, itâs not inherently girly, and second, if itâs something that you enjoyed, then thatâs what matters, right?â
âI guess so,â Alex replies, looking down at his sneakers. Is that all that matters, though? He pauses for a moment in debate, then adds on at Julieâs encouraging expression, âMy parents made me quit when I was fourteen.â He takes a breath. âThey were never that involved in it, though, they actually only let me because my sister did it. I, uh, after I skated to a Queen song in a full Freddie Mercury getup, they werenât too happy, and made me quit.â
At some point in his spiel, Julie had put her hand on his shoulder, and now she was squeezing it before pulling him into a hug. âYour parents are stupid,â she mumbled into his chest.
Alex chuckles, something emotionless, a bitter taste on the tip of his tongue. âYeah. They were.â
Julie pulls away with a gasp, a bright smile on her face. âWe should all go skating this weekend! The public rink just opened up a couple weeks ago, and I can bring Flynn so it doesnât look like Iâm talking to myselfââ she falters, cutting herself off, âI mean, if youâre cool with it. I donât want you to do anything youâre not comfortable with.â
Alex thinks back to his many (many) practice sessions, and remembers the feeling of finally getting that move right, of flying in the air for that one glorious millisecond, of seeing some of his closest friends every other day. He misses it, of course he misses it. It was his biggest outlet before he focused all of his attention on drumming. But, he canât help but feel that stupid fucking guilt clawing at his throat, canât help but imagine oh, so clearly the look of betrayal on his motherâs face the night he came out.
Then again, he had lived the rest of his life out of spite of his parents. Why not keep it going?
âThat sounds really fun,â he replies, pulling her back in. âThank you.â
âąâąâą
A world sans Caleb was a new one to Willie. However, it was also a very welcome one, because it was in this world that he was able to just relax with Alex in the studio, enjoying every second they spend together without worrying about the time running out.
Which is why he was (reasonably) surprised when the time ran out.
They throw Alex an impressively offended look as he removed his arm from behind their shoulder. âWhat?â
âWhere do you think youâre going?â Willie scoffed.
Alex chuckles to himself, pressing his lips into a line. "As much as I would love to stay here and cuddle with youâ" At that, Willie's face goes bright red, and Alex counts it as a win in his head, "âthe band and I are going ice skating when Flynn gets here, which should be in about five minutes."
"Oh," Willie's face brightens as they reply, "sounds fun!"
Alex winces. "Yeah, making sure Luke doesn't accidentally become tangible and run over a seven-year-old while playing human bowling on the ice with Reggie is super fun." Willie laughs something golden in response, and Alex only hesitates for a moment before adding on, "Uh- actually, would you want to come with us?"
Willie grows soft, still getting used to finally being included, but quickly schools his expression before replying, "Yeah, I'd love to! Though, fair warning, I'm kind of only good at the one kind of skating?"
Alex quickly scrunches his nose. "That's fine, I'll help you," he offers, slowly untangling himself from Willie.
Willie isn't sure how much help he's really gonna be, but they figure even an amateur would be better than whatever the fuck kind of Bambi creature he is on the ice, so they nod and pull Alex up by his hand off the couch.
âąâąâą
They arrived to the rink a few minutes ago, and while Julie and Flynn are buying their rental skates and Luke, Reggie, and Willie attempt to steal some without being noticed, Alex laces up his own skates by himself on an open bench.
It isn't until after he yanks the last bow that he realizesâ putting on those skates should not have been that easy.
Yeah, their clothes are usually easy to put on, and they can summon their instruments any time they want, but touching anything else usually takes an immense amount of focus. Hell, the dahlia pin Julie had bought Luke for his guitar strap took five tries to actually hook on rather than just drop to the ground.
And yet, his skates justâ went on? Laced up with no problem? His foot didn't go through the sole even once? He wiggles his toes around inside the boot, and only feels the familiar push of fabric against them.
He decides not to question it, to not think about the implications of his skates possibly being attached to his soul, and tries to avoid yet another afterlife crisis as they walk toward the boards. Or, at least, he walks, while Luke just bolts onto the ice with no hesitation, and Reggie quickly follows. Alex falls back behind Julie and Flynn, who step onto the ice and begin gliding around, and Willie somehow finds their way next to him, grabbing onto his hand. They make it to the door, and Willie lets go with a small nudge to the shoulder. "Alright, hotdog, show me what you've got," he jokes.
Alex lets out a small laugh and steps out onto the ice, a weird feeling of deja-vu settling into his nonexistent bones. Once he gathers his bearings, he glides along before maneuvering closer to the middle of the ice and pulling himself into a scratch spin. It takes him a minute to really center the spin, but with the phantom tingling of blood rushing to the tips of his fingers before he pulls in completely, suddenly it's 1990 and he's doing his Lacrimosa program and he wants to try to land every jump he's ever learned, even though he knows that trying his axel right now is a horrible idea, andâ
He's exited the spin now, looking back at the door to see Willie about a foot away from it, gripping the wall with a concerning amount of intensity, an odd combination of fear, shock, and something else (awe, maybe?) coming to rest on their face. He skates back over, and Willie's expression doesn't seem to change. "Youâ" they swallow, "âyou can skate."
Alex slides his feet back and forth, his arms behind his back. "Yeah, I figure skated for eight years, actually. Did, did I not mention that?" he asks, smirking a little, knowing damn well he very much never mentioned that.
Willie closes his eyes, sucks on his teeth, and takes a breath, getting over their minor bluescreen moment. "Help me?"
"In order for me to help you, you need to let go of the boards," Alex responds. Willie looks at the boards, then back at him, eyebrows furrowed. "It'll hurt a lot more falling into two flat surfaces rather than one," Alex reasons, and Willie hesitates before finally letting go.
"There we go," Alex says softly, taking both of Willie's hands in his. He begins to slowly pull them along, not caring about passing through lifers, while Willie's feet slip and slide beneath him. Alex tries his hardest not to laugh, and Willie quips, "I thought I was supposed to be the athletic one."
Alex scoffs, "Who told you that? Are you the one lugging around an entire drumset every weekend?" At Willie's laugh, Alex tacks on, "I didn't think so."
They make a full lap around the rink before Alex lets go, having to prevent Luke and Reggie from pulling on some little girlâs milk boxes to make her go faster, because no, thatâs not how physics works, and yes, people will notice, Luke.
After, Willie moves to get off at the boards, and Alex pulls a disappointed pout. Willie just motions toward the ice, saying, "I know you didn't just come here to pull me around the whole time, I wanna see your turns and stuff."
Alex hesitates, "But I don't want to leave you here by yourselfâ"
Heâs cut off by a familiar harmony playing in the background, and Luke and Reggie poof by his side in an instant. Alex barely has any time to register it before Reggie is putting a hand on his shoulder and Luke is asking if heâs okay.
And Alex doesnât know how to answer that right away, if heâs being honest. At first, he thinks he might not be, because all he remembers is scolding, leaving, hiding, but he reminds himself itâs 2020 and heâs a ghost; that his parents are as involved in what was left of his life now as they were when he came outâ not at all. The feeling of freedom starts to envelope him; the same freedom as when he danced with Dirty Candy at Eat ânâ Beats, the same freedom as when he played the drums at the Orpheum, and the same freedom he had before his last recital. He takes a deep breath.
âYeah. Yeah, Iâm okay,â Alex replies, trying to hide his newfound itching to just get back out there.
Reggie drops his hand from his shoulder with a smile; meanwhile, Luke catches notice of Julie and Flynn starting a mini snow fight, to which he immediately races over and shouts, âI want in!â Reggie just shrugs and poofs over. Whether to stop him or join, the world may never know.
Alex rolls his eyes at his friendsâ antics and looks back over at Willie, anxious energy seemingly radiating off of himâ except, not as it usually does; now it was more excitement than anything else.
âGo show off, Alex,â Willie says, shooting him away with a smile.
Alex unsuccessfully tries to suppress the overwhelming giddy feeling that rises in his chest, and he skates. Again.
Finally.

Swtor Player Asks
2, 6, 8, 9, 15
Thanks for the ask!
2. What is your favorite class and why? And/or list the player classes in order of most -> least favorite.
Honestly? Jedi Consular has been been my fav so far where I started a redux play through of my Main so I don't repeat my first blind play through where I made some choices I wasn't happy with. I'm honestly all about the Wise Healer slowly becoming more and more disillusioned the more the Consular class story goes on; Wanting to do good only to be just another pawn in just another war.
But I will say Sith Inquisitor quickly shot up the list to a very close second. Just everything about that class story really. Zash? I both love and hate her. Seeing her on Nathema the first time made me go feral. I'm totally not debating playing with the story beat of she didn't die then and will come back AGAIN later down the line... lol. That and the whole force ghost story bits, and the end of the class story? *(Chefs kiss)*
Least fav? Jedi Knight. The whole light vs dark side bits were waaay to ridged for my tastes. Yes Kira was like a little sister to my character, No that doesn't mean she's turning to the dark side.
6. Do you primarily play Republic, Empire, or a mix of both sides? Is there a specific reason for this preference?
Currently I mostly play the pub side only because most of my Cartel items/purchases are reedemed on Isadola (my main). I have been slowly leaning towards playing more of both as I dust off my Sith Inquisitor more and more. But I'm not gunna lie I love the Imp fleet a lot more, it's design is much more up my alley.
8. Name your top favorite companions (feel free to include reasons why).
Ohh, that's a bit of a list but I'll stick with my top 5. Top of the list is Lana hands down, She's Issie's better half among other things that would be too long to list here. Number 2 slot is HK-51, I've had him for less than a few weeks and I would already die for my assassin bot buddy. Next in number 3 & 4 is Nadia & Ashara, My fav force students that are borderline sisters to each of my mains. And number 5 is Khem Val easily, I love my big morose monster of a teddy bear. He reminds me a lot personality wise of my old cat. So yea.. I got quite attached to him.
9. How about your least favorite companions?
Doc. Hands down, no list. Dude does not take "no" for an answer. Kira was close to killing him? Girl would have to get in line behind me as I throw his ass out the air lock. At least Tharan took the hint when you shoot him down, but fuck does Doc just not let it go if you're playing a female jedi. Not to mention he's so fucking full of himself. I could rant all day about this, and no shame to those that do like him, but Doc just rubbed me in all the wrong ways and there was no way I could get rid of him. He made a tedious playthrough like I was pulling teeth.
15. Show us your main(s)!
You mean fav swtor OCs/ my mains? Hell yeah!
First we have Isadola Ardeen Shir (Or known as Issie by those closest to her); Jedi Consular, Miraluka.
This girl can hide so much trauma in her.
I've been trying to write more stuff for her considering she's the Character I have almost literally all my time/progress on. I feel I need to do her backstory justice.
Now my other main, Or in Issie's case the other side of the mirror-
We have the Sith AU Issie, otherwise known as Atteia Ulla Shir, Sith Inquisitor.
Small changes in their shared backstory resulted in her becoming Sith instead. In this timeline she lost her original name, and was given another.
In some sense they are both the same person and different people. And if you forced them to meet, they would probably try to kill each other over who suffered more in what little of their pasts that they share, but would be stuck in a stalemate because they are both on the same power level as the other.
Best quote I can borrow for these two is from Bioshock Infinite: "Constants and Variables". These two are the almost literal embodiment of that quote.
#swtor#swtor ask game#swtor ocs#Thank you again for the ask!!#Always happy to just talk/rant about this game with other players!! ^-^#oc: isadola ardeen#oc: atteia ulla

SU rewatch- S1E11- Arcade Mania
Hey, long time no see!
Iâm desperately bored in solitary quarantine at university right now, and decided to try and pick this SU rewatch series up again for fun. Itâs been a while since Iâve watched through the show in order. Plus, now that this show is completely finished, thereâs plenty more connections to make. I canât promise Iâll be consistent with this, but at the very least I can have fun trying to make a few more posts at my leisure.
Anyways. With that business out of the way. Letâs get right on to the show!
We begin with yet another mission Stevenâs guardians have brought him along on! I believe this is the fifth mission we know of that heâs accompanied them on so far. (Lunar Sea Spire, Inverted Pyramid, the unknown mission he returns from in Tiger Millionaire, the desert, and now this one.) Itâs really sweet seeing the Gems begin to trust him tagging along more often. There will come a day in the near future where missions become routine for Steven, but in these early episodes, you can really tell that each and every one is a brand new adventure.
In terms of plot, though, this episode is honestly Future Vision: The Prequel.
We learn a lot about Garnetâs abilities and her role in the team here, even if all of these details arenât spelled out word-for-word quite yet. Hints towards her future vision we see this ep include:
Garnet moving ahead of the group to be in the perfect spot to catch Steven when he falls.
Her flawless moves while fighting and dodging the monsters.
Her becoming a master at the rhythm game later in the episode.
Like, damn. Look at this.
Look at her go.
My Q U E E N!
I had to gif all of this just because itâs such a beautiful and smooth sequence of animation.
If thereâs one thing all of the Crystal Gems can 100% agree on, itâs that Garnet is frigginâ amazing.
Garnet: âLet them go. Theyâre just parasites. If they want to be a problem, theyâll have to answer to me.â
So, does this statement mean that- at this present moment- her extended stay at the arcade was entirely beyond her future vision? That the only futures she saw were ones where she was actually present to deal with containment of the Gem parasites? Given that later scenes insinuate sheâd never been to the arcade before, and would have no âdataâ about its games to factor into her internal understanding of the world, this seems likely.
I adore the gradual palette change here, from shadow, to setting sun. Itâs a nice detail that adds so much more life to what could otherwise be a rather mundane transition scene. It seems like unique palettes were more common in early SU- I wonder why Crewniverse stopped implementing these as often later on?
Pearl, entering the arcade: âHumans find such fascinating ways to waste their time.â
Thanks, Pearl. Love you too. <3
This sequence of Pearl failing at playing a car chase/road rage game hits so much different knowing what happens in Last One Out of Beach City. Itâs genuinely radical how far she grows in confidence from this point, because here, she seems so shackled to rules and guidelines. Now that we know about her rebellious past, it might be tempting to write this characterization off as âearly series weirdness,â but... I donât think thatâs whatâs happening here.
Instead, I wonder if sheâs working through grief-related regression.
Think about it... the pain of Roseâs passing is still so fresh for her. She was a rule breaking rebel once, yes, but she spent all of those days at Roseâs side. And I get the sense that sheâs poured so much of herself into keeping Rose safe, into the rebellion against Homeworld, that without those, sheâs caught in a vacuum. What IS her purpose now, when the very person she rebelled for is gone?
So she slips back into old pearl-like habits. Chronic rule following, and a fear of deviating from norms. How familiar. Thankfully, much of her arc throughout the show is her directly growing beyond these habits to live boldly as her own Gem.
The friggin video game when Garnet knocks its head off: âTELL MY WIFE IâM SORRYYY!!!â
Yo, what the fuck. This line is both hilarious and messed up, all at once. Please tell me the game isnât sentient.
Aaaand here we finally introduce Garnet to the video game sensation that is Meat Beat Mania! This game is perfectly suited to her and her power of foresight because its patterns are algorithmic and not vulnerable to spontaneous deviations, and thus easy to predict, with enough input. Sheâs probably getting a quick rush of satisfaction with every correct move, and she barely has to exert any energy with her future vision to get that rush. After years and years of wading through endless possibility at every avenue, this video gameâs patterns must be a rejuvenating breath of fresh air.
Itâs addicting.
...Kinda makes me think of how I get sometimes when I play solitaire on my phone for an hour straight. After a while, I barely even think, Iâm just shuffling through my deck and moving cards almost on automatic. I donât have to use much energy to play, and it gives me animated fireworks every time I finish a match. Itâs a win-win.
Amethyst: âIâMMA WIN AN AIRPLANE!â
I donât know what it is about the way Michaela Dietz says the world âairplane,â but this makes me laugh every time. Does... does she think she can win a genuine airplane here because she saw Onion win a tiny motorbike from the ticket booth?? Amethyst, oh my god. XD
Sheâs got the spirit, this wild child.
So, moving on- we meet up with our crew later the next morning, Garnet nowhere to be seen. Thereâs an interesting exchange Iâd like to highlight real quick-
Pearl: âIf weâre supposed to fight a giant foot, Garnet would let us know.â Amethyst: âYeah, Garnetâs the boss!â Pearl: âWell, weâre all a team. Garnet just has heightened perception that guides us towards our mission objectives.â
Considering the specific phrasing Pearl uses here- âheightened perceptionâ instead of âfuture vision-â did Garnet outright tell the two of them to not explain her powers, just like she told them not to mention sheâs a fusion? Because Iâm pretty sure no one ever uses the phrase âheightened perceptionâ again in reference to her powers.
Given the fact that Garnet chose to keep the knowledge of Ruby and Sapphire under the table until she felt Steven could understand her better, my guess is that this is a similar scenario.
Ahah, I genuinely canât tell if this is Steven being gullible, or just impulsively playing along with Amethystâs antics. Still- gross, kid. Donât wipe your wet cereal face on your shirt! Ew! :O
When he goes outside and starts to use a kiddy metal detector to scan for quarters... so THATâS where he finds his arcade money! Because I canât imagine Greg is financially able to give him that much to spend on non-essentials at this point in the show.
Okay, so... I just want to bring light to the fact that Garnet has literally been in this arcade ALL NIGHT LONG.
It was evening when she first arrived here- the sun was visibly setting in the background, and when Steven, Amethyst, and Pearl left, the sky was dark. But now itâs morning. Steven was just seen eating breakfast. And Garnet is STILL HERE.
Does this mean Mr. Smiley locked her IN? I have so many questions... Did he try to get her to leave, only to be intimidated by her complete lack of response? I would kill to know more about this interaction. Poor Mr. Smiley. That man deals with so much bullshit in this town, huh?
Geebus, is Garnet a solid wall. Previous episodes have shown Steven forcibly shoving whole tons of food, and swinging a mini-freezer over his head, and yet he canât get her to budge even an inch.
I absolutely adore how he climbs up her frame like a koala, though, ahah. Cute.
Meat Beat Mania announcer: âThatâs rare!!â Steven: âOh my gosh...!â
I take these two lines as evidence that this is the first time Stevenâs ever seen Garnetâs eyes. Specifically, the fact that thereâs three of them. Which, makes sense- since Garnet is still really reserved emotionally at this point, and is only begins to get in the habit of taking her visor off to show Steven her full face later on in the show.
This expression deeply hurts me.
Stevenâs so distraught here- because the others are in danger, the town is in danger, and he doesnât have his trusty, dependable guardian who catches him when he falls and beats up scary monsters for him. Without her, the whole team is vulnerable and blind.
He feels alone. He feels... powerless.
And so he responds to that confusing, powerless feeling by trying to compensate with his own power. When all other routes he can think of fail, he smashes the video game console.
It... uh, it works... but once again, Steven entirely fails to consider the consequences, huh? He experienced a little bit of character growth in this regard in the episode Serious Steven, but even past that itâll remain an recurring issue for him. Hell, his impulsiveness is a general character flaw even stretching into SUF.
In summary, though:
Poor Mr. Smiley. He works so hard, and doesnât deserve this BS. ;-;

Someone, Broom in Hand
Kaz died before he turned sixteen. Thatâs the story. When he reappears, itâs at the side of the Dark General, wearing the thin fluttering robes of the Sun Summoner. Jesper travels to the Little Palace to punch his fucking teeth out.
Kaz[/&]Jesper | 7.5k | content note: nonlinear narrative, past and offscreen abuse
The purple kefta is too big for Kaz. Jesper doesnât want to think about why he dumped his coat over Kazâ head, except that Kaz looks weird and cold in his ugly fancy yellow paper taffeta shirt, his one layer that heâs wearing apart from the underpants that leave his knees bare.
That he looks uncomfortable at all should be nothing but a trick of the violent light: there are two separate lit fireplaces in the bedroom, so awkwardly placed that they were probably retrofitted by a Fabrikator. It might have been David, though then Jesper would surely have heard a treatise on the stones used to erect the Little Palace, or Gaz, or Lizaveta or any of the other Materialki Jesperâs been bunking with butâbut anyway, if Kaz felt like wearing more, he could order an attendant to fetch another shirt or two. Unless thereâs nothing he owns that isnât thin and revealing and fucking yellow. Unless heâs not allowed⊠Unless he canât even dress himself anymore without a gaggle of attendants. Man moves up in the world and forgets everything he knew: tale as old as time.
âJust like you forgot us,â Jesper mutters, less viciously than he should.
The Kaz-doll makes no comment. No protest. No further manipulation of Jesperâs old affections. No snide mockery for Jesper passing his kefta on to the man that less than an hour ago, he tried to kill.
He just pulls the coat on. With his odd bare fingersâno claws after all, just thin and humanâhe closes button after button, including the top four that Jesperâs never once used, struggling to pull the material over the bone-tines sticking out of his chest. (And who back home would believe that Dirtyhands has ordinary fingers and a totally fucked up chest?) It would be easier to leave it open, but Kaz, even now heâs a sunny lapdog, doesnât do easy. When he drops his arms, the too-long sleeves fall down over his hands, and with his thumbs he traps the fabric there. Sad little improvised half-gloves, more than Jesperâs seen him wear in the month since he let himself get conscripted into the Little Palace. He looks back at Jesper.
Thereâs no Thank youâKaz Brekker never knew that word, and it seems in the two years they had him, whatever else they forced on him the Ravkans failed to teach him any more mannersâbut there is something new in his glare. Itâs not just the purple washing the colour off his smoothâhis way too smooth face. No. Itâs something old: defiant, and angry, and scheming, just barely breaking through the placid paint and the rust beneath it.
Bit by bit, as he buttons up Jesperâs kefta Kaz simultaneously pulls on the moth-bitten coat of Dirtyhands heâs kept way back in the wardrobe of his brain, the ruthless killer, Bastard of the Barrel, Dregs lieutenant and future gang boss unless he gets murdered first. And it didnât stick the first time. Pulls it over whoever it is that he was before. Over the doll beside Kirigan.
Over that person in the corner, that cornered boy, brittle and alone and stripped of armour and weapon and self, and Jesper wants to kill every single fucker in the Little Palace.
âBack home, you had a plan for everything,â he says instead. âIâm not assuming itâs a B or even a Z or a Q squared, but I know you. I know youâve considered it. What do we do now your beloved long-lost friendâs shown up to help you steal the Sun Summoner?â
âŒ
Yesterday, Kerch accepted the terms of the Ravkan crown. Ex-crown. Dark fucking empire. Whatever. Test all children and send the Grisha to the Little Palace, conscript some people into the First Armyâthough what they still need an army for when they have the Fold is anyoneâs guessâsend food, booze, and, worst of all to the fastidious greedy Kerch, pay tribute without receiving anything at all in return. It was in the mouth of every paperboy on the streets, every mercher, every gang boss. By Ghezen how could we just surrender? they moaned, and Do you want to end like West Ravka? and Didnât you see him? Kiriganâs going to crown himself king of everything. Heâs unstoppable. And that boy next to him, the Sunâ
Honestly? Jesper doesnât give a fuck anymore. Heâs paying fifty kruge just to sit on Inejâs bed for an hour and braid her hair. Ketterdam can burn to the sopping wet ground for all he cares. The world can rot. Like the Dregs did. Like everything Jesper cared for.
Inej, though, watched it.
âI had to see,â sheâs whispering into Jesperâs ear, barely moving her miserable red-painted lips even though his hair should block out most lines of sight already. Inejâs smart, though, and desperate: if Jesper keeps returning to the Menagerie as nothing but a smitten small-time gangster with an incredibly vanilla hair fetish, he wonât catch attention. Tante Heleen will have fewer reasons to raise Inejâs rates. Jesper can barely pay for a visit a month as it is, and even those he allows himself mostly because heâs given up the hope of ever paying off her indenture unless he wins big.
âI snuck out yesterday. I had to see. Heleen got a new girl from Ravka six months ago, and she believes, too. Had a cheap pamphlet with her, last thing she had, of the new Saint. The illustrations⊠they looked just like Kaz.â
âFuââ Inej elbows him. Jesper presses his lips into the braid over her ear. âForget about Kaz Brekker. Youâre the only one who matters now. He died, and you ended up here.â
Sheâs trapped in the Menagerie now because Kaz disappeared into the harbour like so many orphans before him; because he didnât tell Jesper jack shit about Inejâs situation that might have helped him keep her safe in the Dregs; because he allowed senile Haskell who knows the names of all his five hundred thousand miniature boats and literally nothing else to stay in charge of the Dregs instead of killing him as soon as possible, which allowed Haskell to let the payments for Inejâs indenture lapse, which meant three months after Kaz just disappeared from his life Jesper got back to the Slat to find that Inej, too, had gone without a trace, and it was only luck and a pervert old Dreg that Jesper soon afterwards âaccidentallyâ shoved off a roof talking about the girls at the Menagerie that meant he found her again. Found her, only to realize he canât help her at all.
Inej pulls Jesperâs ear back to her mouth. âI saw him, Jesper. I saw Kaz. Kaz is alive. He was there. I saw him.â
âYou what?!â A sharp elbow darting out of her red sad nightgown that would have slipped right in-between his ribs if it was one of the knives she still mourns, and heâs not even given anything away. Heleenâs a hell bitch, but what use would she get out of random surprise?
âI saw Kaz. Heâs the Sun Summoner. I was far away butâit was Kaz, standing next to General Kirigan, holding his hand, when the Merchantâs Council signed the terms of surrender. It was Kaz. Iâm certain. Sankt Kaz.â
âIââ Jesper burrows his face into Inejâs hair. âYou didnât happen to have a knife on you, did you? A really tiny one she couldnât confiscate. A super lethal one. Might never get as good a chance again.â
âJesââ
âFuck him sideways with a rusty shovel. That traitor. Did you forget how you ended up here? He left us. Saw a bigger pile of cash and skedaddled, I bet. He always wanted to be king. Guess becoming the Darklingâs queen was the next-best option.â
Inej doesnât even defend Kaz. Jesper pulls away from her so he can look at her face. She always looks sad these days, unless she has specific painful orders to perk up, but itâs deeper now. Sheâs not doing the gesture, not holding her hand against her chest. Faith, now, is just one more thing Kaz Brekker took from her. Jesper canât blame her, even though he never believed. Not even when Ravkaâs new âSun Summonerâ started gaining them the whole continent. Powerâs power, though, no matter whether the stories around it are true. If Kaz truly is the Sun Summoner, then itâs not just Kaz Brekker who sent her back to the Menagerieâbut one of her Saints. Fucking asshole.
He buries Inej in his arms. Itâs all he can do now, to hold her until this monthâs hour is up, because itâs not like he can just murder the Ravkans special weapon in retribution, can he? CanâŠ
âThis changes nothing,â he whispers. âThe only priority is still paying off your indenture. Kaz quit the Dregs. He left us, and that means heâs nothing now. Less than nothing. I have a good feeling about the Makkerâs Wheel at the Emerald Palace this weekend. Lots of pigeons there for the âFete of Unity with Mother Ravkaâ or whatever, and the minder thinks Iâm hot. Itâs risky, of course, but if I do this rightââ
âŒ
Jesperâs just about to crawl right back out from under the bedâweapons raised, since hell knows what Kaz was planning back there, and fuck Jesper for apparently still harbouring enough trust in the guy to follow his lead two years after he desertedâbut then, a series of clicks and rumbles heralds the opening of the door. Footsteps, and it slides shut again.
Shit, that was close.
And Kaz wasnât bluffing, after all. Well, well⊠it certainly means something that Kaz, beloved Saint and Sun Summoner and ally to the Darkling, just told his attempted murderer slash old friend and-or stooge to hide. Kaz never did anything without a motive, be it profit or power or vengeance, and even this degraded, polished version surely isnât so far gone as to engage in ideas as base as altruism. Ergo, Kaz will want to use Jesper forâsomething, though what is there he wants when heâs basically a prince ofâbut he isnât, is he? Heâs in a cell. A cell Jesper can unlock.
Three pairs of footsteps move around the room. One of them might be Kaz, but without his limp, itâs hard to recognize him. None of them says a word, which⊠it probably means this is a routine visit. Whateverâs going on, they all know their role.
Two pairs stop moving, while the third oneâcircles around them, it sounds like, and then someone else stumbles a little and catches themselves. Jesper hopes theyâll hurry up. Heâs in mortal danger, technicallyâKaz can still choose to reveal the intruder inside the Sun Summonerâs private room and-orprison, but, prison. Jesperâs far more useful alive, and so, hiding under the bed is fucking boring.
Thereâs not even anything interesting in-between the slat frame and the mattress. Itâs the only place where you could hide anythingâthat Jesper can think of, at least, but thereâs just nothing there at all, and Kaz used to be a real magpie. Itâs a gaping void, just like everything else in this room. Like everything else in this palace, a chasm painted over with gilt and power. Unlessâsomethingâs stuck to the underside of a cross brace. Jesper slides a fingernail under the edge, and it comes loose easily enough. Not exactly a cache worthy of Dirtyhands, and anyway, itâs just a⊠a mangled piece of paper. A paper that looks like itâs been chewed on and spat outâand an entire corner actually torn off, or bitten, maybeâand whatever used to be printed onto it mostly rubbed off except for a couple of letters here and there, RAV. Curved lines and tiny hats. What would Kaz need to hide in his room? Apart from weapons he doesnât have. Other peopleâs jewellery, dito. The only thing that Jesper knows about him now is that heâs trying to open the door. Trying to leave. Itâs probably a map, then.
Which means an escape is planned, and Jesperâs just providing the desperately sought means. Good. That means he should have even more leverage here.
Somebody stumbles again, this time taking two steps to catch themselves. Almost as if theyâve jerked away.
âYouâre falling behind,â slimes the smooth, rich voice of the Darkling. âOn second thought, our people would miss you at the celebration. Iâll inform the staff that you wish to dance, all night long.â
âŒ
âYouâre hanging around here because you heard that General Kirigan and the Sun Summoner are due back this hour, arenât you?â The woman in a tidemakerâs kefta that just sidled up to Jesper speaks unaccented, high class central Ravkan. Even if her dark skin is an indication of Zemeni heritage, she came to the Little Palace long before the Darklingâs recent territorial acquisitions. Sheâs no ally, just like the rest of the crowd that surrounds them: an old-school Grisha, veteran Second Army, not someone whose loyalties may yet be pliable. Not someone like Jesper, whose skin started crawling the moment he showed his skills to a Ravkan occupation officer so he could sneak into the Little Palace. Sheâs friendly, though, and looks at Jesperâs face with clear appreciation. âYou must be new. Hi. Iâm Nadia.â
âJesper,â he says, throwing a flirtatious grin like a blanket over his nerves and anger. Itâs almost fun, playing the suave infiltrator assassin Grisha. Except Inejâs still in the Menagerie. And Kaz is still a piece of shit. âYeah, I just got here! They didnât test for Grisha ability in Novyi Zem when I was little, so I barely knew who I was⊠but once I heard about the Darkling, about this place, I crossed the True Sea as soon as I could!â
âThat must have been so hard. So lonely. This place isâŠâ She grimaces. âThis place was our sanctuary. Youâre lucky youâre Materialnik.â
âWhy?â Itâs the first time since his arrival that anyoneâs had even a neutral opinion of Durasts, let alone good, and granted, itâs not like he cares that much about the ability his Ma died from, and heâs only talked to a dozen people since arriving yesterday, butâŠ
âListen, I know you want to see the Sun Summoner, and donât tell anyone I said this butâŠâ Nadia pulls Jesper a few paces away from the crowd on the training grounds, into a corner formed by two enormous bales of hay. Well-chosen: he can barely see the crowd that just surrounded them peek out behind the yellow stalks. âYouâre sweetââ
âListen, youâre gorgeous, but we just metâalthough, on secondââ
âNo!â She laughs, but itâs bitter. âYouâre cute, but no. Itâs my duty, to her, to protect you. The new ones. Youâre Materialnik, so youâre not combat, so youâre not going to actually meet the Sun Summoner. Ever, if youâre lucky.â
âHeâs that bad?â Kaz was always a dick, if Jesperâs honestâit was part of his charmâhe was just a charming magnetic one, and back with the Dregs Jesper hated his ruthlessness just as much as he admired it. He was worst to his fellow Dregs and his enemies, though: he could charm a mark when needed. So itâs a tad unexpected that Kaz earned himself the hatred of a Grisha indoctrinated from childhood to see him as her Saint and saviour. Apparently, heâs just that talented. That obnoxious.
Well, Jesperâs not complaining. That makes his plan much easier.
âHe killed my best friend,â Nadia whispers urgently. âThe last time I saw her they were taking a walk, and then I found her, blisters and burns all over her body. Who else? Thereâs a reason heâs not allowed to have weapons. I heard the Darkling doesnât let him go anywhere alone, or he would murder us all. He killed Baghra too, Iâm sureâshe was our teacher, but she disappeared two years ago. Just stay away from him, alright? He looks harmless, but heâs a rabid dog. Oh. There he comes.â
Jesper barely manages to whisper, âThank you,â before she pulls away from him and returns to her previous place. Back to the crowd of Etherealki and Corporalki on the training field, but she finds her place in the last row, standingâhidingâbehind two men much taller than her.
Jesper follows into the crowd. No need to alert Kaz that the past is hot on his heels, and thenâ
Well. There he is.
There someoneis, anyway.
If Jesper trusted Inej just a hairâs breadth less, heâd have cursed her and sneaked back out of the Little Palace the second he sees the person holding General Kiriganâs hand. Sure, the Sun Summoner is male, with dark brown hair and dark eyes and pale skin, and just a little bit taller than Kaz was at fifteen, but thatâs where the similarities end. Dirtyhands had his impeccable mercherâs suits in a grim mockery of Ketterdamâs upper class, and gloves to feed the rumours, and a cane to walk and kill. His hair managed to be at once floppy and severe; just like his gaunt face, in the right light, made him look utterly captivating and not just like an annoyed scheming rat. He looked exactly like the Bastard of the Barrel should. Not pleasant or easy, but the person Jesper once would have followed into any lionâs den.
Thisâthis Sun Summoner, on Kiriganâs arm, is beautiful. Healthful. Pristine.
Barely even a fucking person.
Itâs the face, mostly.
You could never tell what Kaz was thinking, just looking at him, because he was, after all, thinking in layers upon layers of incomprehensible schemes at all times of the day and then went to bed and dreamt about ploys and deceptions. Jesper could barely follow him the three times total he deigned to explain part of his plans. But you could always tell that Kaz was thinking. Planning, scheming, plotting his greedy bloody vicious way out of and into every possible house on every possible street.
The Sun Summoner looks empty. Heâs staring straight ahead, but heâs not even doing thatwith any kind of purpose. Heâs like a pet on the Darklingâs arm. He looks more airheaded than all blackout drunk heirs and heiresses in Ketterdam combined.
Itâs incredibly eerie, because now heâs searching for it Jesper can sort of read Kaz Brekker back into the Sun Summonerâs face. This face is much smoother, without the marks of past firepox, plumped and rosy-tinted, but that might partially just be a testament to the quality of Ravkan cooksâor, how skint the Dregs always were. He has a normal haircut. It probably suits him better, unless your standard for beauty is Dirtyhands, and unfortunately Jesperâanyway. The Sun Summoner doesnât have a cane, either, and he doesnât need one, apparently, because he isnât limping. Ravkan royal healthcare, but honestly, Kaz could have pressed a Grisha healer into service back in Ketterdam only he always insistedâwell, whatever. Fuck his words of wisdom. Fuck him. Fuck Kaz. Jesper shouldnât even be remembering that snake.
Kaz Brekker betrayed Inej, left her to rot in the Menagerie, so whatever role heâs playing right now in whatever scheme this isâbecause it has to be a scheme that put Kaz into the yellow robe heâs in right now, so thin itâs translucent, and sleeveless too in the Ravkan winter. The Dregs tattoo on his arm is gone. Two Inferni are flanking him and the Darkling, their hands perpetually on fire just so Kaz can parade about in a robe no Menagerie slave would go outside in, but still, itâs Kaz. Itâs definitely Kaz Brekker. Jesper can see it now.
Fuck him. He traded the Dregs for this. He abandoned them to Haskellâs mismanagement and let Inej go back to the Menagerie. He betrayed them all.
(Of course, Jesper abandoned Inej now too, and without a word, butâafter that last catastrophic loss in the Emerald Palace, thereâs a zero percent chance the Dime Lions wouldnât have strung him up by his own entrailsâor sold him into indenture, trying to make back at least a fraction of the fifty thousand kruge he owesâso really, he had no choice. Itâs the next best thing, right? If he canât help her anymore, at least he can kill the bastard that started all their troubles.)
Kaz just walks off, hand in the Darklingâs grasp, towards the Little Palace. Carelessly following the other manâs lead.
The old Kaz would have noticed Jesper.
âŒ
Footsteps and then, a series of clicks and pieces of wood and metal rubbing stones. The door. Kazâs legs, taking steps backwards to the bed in a perfect, healthy gait. The rich soft creaking of the bed as he sinks down again, and in front of Jesperâthe same two muscular, pale, bare, identical hairy calves. Like the legs of a statue, or one of those de Kappels he used to like, except the right leg is trembling finely. Barely noticeable if it wasnât right in front of Jesperâs face. Those Ravkans maybe arenât so crafty after all.
Then: nothing.
After what feels like an hour in which Jesper doesnât dare move, even though the Darkling must have left already, a hand drops off the edge off the mattress. Middle and index finger erect, then crooking twice in quick succession. It takes a moment to connect. Jesper hasnât seen those signals in such aâmove, path clear. Yes. Thatâs what it was.
Jesper wriggles out from under the bed, annoyingly free of dust. Pristine. Empty, just like everything else.
âDidnât think the Sun Summoner needed to use our secret code, boss,â he drawls up at Kaz from the floor. Kaz, with his barren black eyes and his new porcelain doll face, picking at the wide open collar of his yellow shirt.
âNever drop a tool you can still use,â Kaz says. A beat. âDidnât think I was your boss anymore.â
âYou arenât.â Jesper turns his head away, looking at the spotless floor and the intricately painted walls from his low vantage point. Exquisite, imposing, empty: a Saintâs cage, as beautiful and terrible as Inejâs room in the Menagerie. The bare wall hiding the inaccessible door. âThat guy really fucking hates you.â
Kaz doesnât reply. Jesper turns his head back to watch him again, even though that wonât give him anything more: Kaz used to be willfully inscrutable even back in the Barrel, but after whatever Grisha surgery they did to him, there are only traces left of the real person trapped inside him. Dollface, Jesper thinks again. Whoâd have expected theyâd turn fucking Dirtyhands into a dollface?
Itâs Kaz who turns away, fingers clawed into his neckline. His voice is rough, even if itâs a shadow of the damaged rasp that used to be him. âI thought about it sometimes, back then. The first time.â
Every fibre of Jesperâs being wants to interrupt with, What are you talking about? I donât speak cryptic anymore. Iâm out of practice. He should get off the floor, raise his guns, resumeâbut whatever it is, whether itâs some stupid new Grisha power, whether itâs zowa, or his memory of Kaz is just coming back, he doesnâtâ
âIt was like this. I was on my bed already, usually, when it grew hardâand I thought you would be up for not being on the bed, and there wasnât much else in my room. I imagined watching you. I didnât touch it. That was better.â
Uh. What.
âHe probably knows I threw up after weâI tried to hide it. I thought I could manipulate him into seeing me as his partner, I thought Iâd healed, that Iâd practiced enoughâbut he just saw that I was still weak. He saw he could control me. But if he didnât do it again because I threw up, Iâmââ
He was right. Jesper would have stayed on the cold hard floor back then for him. Even now, Jesper would crawl around like a worm jerking off for the fucking asshole he got himself trapped in the Little Palace to murder, if that meant Kaz never had toâ
Kaz pulls the neckline of his flimsy thin single ugly yellow shirt closed. The shirt that doesnât protect him. The shirt he didnât choose.
âŒ
Jesperâs imagined the Sun Summonerâs quarters, of course. Most of the Grisha in the Little Palace are wretched gossipsâor Jesperâs been charming as many people into spilling as many secrets as possible to him so he can plan his attack, same differenceâand anyway, he needs a backdrop for his imagined kill shots. Itâs Kaz Brekker, after all. Dirtyhands. The ex-Bastard. Youâd want to rehearse that death. Think of some witty one-liners.
Nadia said it was gorgeous inside, like a dollhouse. Lizaveta, who Jesperâs been told to shadow so he can learn how to become a proper Durast, insisted itâs totally empty. Grzegorz said there were live kittens inside, so the Sun Summoner could sate his lust for innocent blood, Sayyna thought there was a giant swimming pool, and a lovely naĂŻve boy from the edge of the permafrost up at the former border insisted it was just like the quarters of all other Grisha, except with a little more privacy. Since theyâre all siblings fighting for a world that will be kind to Grisha.
Jesper, privately, imagined a few stolen paintings and a mishmash of furniture. Because heâs an idiot.
This is just likeâ
If it is the Sun Summonerâs bedroom at all. It should be. Jesper did his homework: he followed the Darkling and his Sun Summoner creature that wears the skin used to house Kaz, and a variety of Materialniks, to the end of this specific corridor, five times in total. Watched the Materialniks unlock a hidden mechanism, and then the two most powerful men in Ravkaâin all charted countries, ruling everything this side of the True Sea but pockets of Shu Han and even thatâs a matter of timeâthey walked inside, hand in hand. The Darkling always left, after a while, alone, and so it only made sense to assume that the hidden room that Jesper just snuck up to and unlocked is, in fact, the Sun Summonerâs room. Kazâ room. Itâs the best time for breaking into it, too. Thereâs going to be a party in two days, so hopefully everyoneâs too busy, and even if the Sun Summonerâs out doing preparations then Jesper can just hide in here and kill him in an ambush. Thatâs probably easier, actually.
First, though, he locks and hides the door again, because⊠yeah, he went to Ravka expecting to get caught. At some point. This is a suicide mission for revenge, after allâsuicide is in in the title. But itâs no fun if he gets caught before the gory glorious revenge part. Before Kaz admits he was a piece of shit. Both guns cocked and ready, he turns around, and actually inspects the room he broke into.
No. Nothing changes, even when he blinks and blinks again. That wasnât a faulty first impression.
The room still looks like a fucking prison cell.
A fancy, clean cell, but a cell nonetheless. Itâs empty except for the bed, and Jesper owes Lizaveta more money than he has on him (though to be fair, technically, Jesperâs fifty thousand kruge in debt anyway, so does it really make a difference at all if heâs a few Ravkan coins more in the red), and even the windowsâJesperâs had enough training now that he can look at the windows and see the subtly reinforcing mesh inside the glass. No curtains. No curtain rods. Nothingâthereâs a subtle mesh inside the bedclothes too and the frame of the bed looks far too sturdy to be torn apart by anyone who isnât a skilled Materialnik. There are meshes in front of the fireplaces.
Nothing in here that can be used as a weapon.
Not against others, and not against oneself.
No escape.
Thereâs nothing in this stark white massive room but a person, acting like he never did before and still looking more like himself than when he was walking through the training grounds. Itâs probably the distance from other people. Heâs got his back to Jesper and heâs in the furthest corner from the door, which should be a tactical misstep because he canât escape from there but reallyâitâs as good as any other location, in this room. Thereâs nothing of use to anyone left, not even to someone as shrewd as Dirtyhands used to be before he lobotomized himself into the Sun Summoner. Or before he wasâ
Kaz pushes himself up from his kneeling position using the walls he faces. He mutters, âI beg your forgiveness for keeping you waiting, Aleks.â His voice sounds odd.
âAre you crying?â
âJesper?!â
Kaz turns so quickly he has to brace himself against the wall again lest he fall over. His translucent shirt ripples. His dark eyes in his weird new too-handsome face trace over Jesper, again and again. If they were fingers, Jesper would feel like heâs being caressed. No, thatâs the wrong thought. A thought from a book he wonât admit heâs read. Jesperâs got his guns out. He came here for a reason. A bloody, glorious reason.
âInej wouldnât want me to do this, but sheâs locked up in the fucking Menagerie,â he announces, just to see whether Kaz can feel even a shred of guilt. âJust so you could be a Ravkan prince in ugly yellow lingerie.â
âJust follow myââ
No, then. Or maybe itâs just the new face Jesper canât read. Not that it matters. âShut up. Do you remember what you told me when I joined the Dregs? About what youâd do to traitors? Well, I have added a couple of my own ideas.â
âShut up, Jesper. You can monologue when weâre done, butââ
Jesper aims right between his weird, smooth pebble eyes. âWhen you left us, you knew it would all go to shit. Inejâs in the Menagerie, and thereâs no way to get her out again. Haskell let the Dregs collapse after you disappeared. No Dregs, no kruââ
Kaz flinches. âQuick. Get under the bed. Now.â
Whether itâs surprise, a sex instinct, orâfar worseâa lingering sense of loyalty, Jesper obeys instantly.
âŒ
âWeâre lost,â Jesper moans. Theyâve been surrounded by trees for four days. Heâs not even sure theyâre trudging vaguely southwards anymore. Everything looks the same. What wouldnât Jesper give to be back in Ketterdam already, with its lovely street names and pedestrians and garish landmarks (and gangsters about to string him up), or at least somewhere in Novyi Zem where he sort of understands the landscape. Or whatâs left of Shu Han, so Kaz can unclench.
âWeâre not lost,â Kaz rasps. âKeep going.â
âHow do youâthe map.â The half-chewed-up map hidden under Kazâ bed, the map he snuck into his coatâJesperâs kefta, whateverâeven though he probably already knows it by heart.
âYes. The map.â
âWhy the fuck are you telling me to choose where weâre going if youâre memorized the map?!â What an asshole. Jesper just clean forgot what a piece of shit Kaz is. He forgot it so utterly heâs helping him break out of Ravka, without even extracting anything in return. Heâs a fucking idiot. âIs it so you can blame me when we get caught?â
Kaz, the dick, rolls his eyes. âWouldnât I rather not get caught at all? Think, Jesperâwhatâs the one advantage you have over me?â
âIâm prettier,â Jesper shoots back. âMy winning personality. I have a better tolerance for hard liquor. Fashion sense. Iâm funny. No, waitâIâm a much more generous lover.â
âHe doesnât know you,â Kaz hisses, making the pronoun sound even more slimy than the guy itâs referring to, which is honestly quite a feat. âDo you think this is my first attempt? Heâll send people to every single route out of his core territory that poses any advantages. He has enough soldiers for that. What he doesnât have, though, is enough soldiers to watch every route your bird-brain might pick at random.â
And then, he stalks ahead viciously. No. Limps ahead.
Itâs been growing much more pronounced over the days. At first, even without a cane he walked just like any person with two healthy legs, and thatâs what Jesper expected. The Ravkans healed their Saintâs leg, didnât they? Thatâs what they would do. Only Kaz can think around enough corners to make his bad leg into an advantage. But with every passing day, Kazâ gait has grown closer to what Jesper remembers from back before the world went to shit. Kaz was touchy about accommodations back then, though, or people being nice in general, so Jesper hasnât even brought up improvising a new cane. All heâs dared to do is slowing down his own steps to what he remembers would have matched Kaz, back then.
And insisting on taking breaks. Like he does now.
âItâs almost night, you refuse to make light despite being made of sunshine, and Iâm hungry,â he complains.
âIâd assume that Ketterdam has made you soft,â Kaz rasps, âo cherished crown jewel of crime and commerce, and whatâs the difference.â He limps back to the fallen tree that Jesper has chosen as their camp site, though, so he must be a just few steps short of utter collapse.
Jesper unwraps the two woollen blankets heâs been carrying on his shoulders. They didnât get a chance to steal much, mostly because Kaz was a prick about it and didnât even let Jesper go back to his room: apparently there was time for Kaz to fold up a paper bag into a facsimile of an envelope and write an address in Djerholm onto it and have Jesper talk a stable-hand into riding out to deliver it, right now, but no time to search anywhere else for supplies. They took just whatever they found in the stables, which amounted to extra coats, some boots, the blankets, and horse feed. And gloves. Kaz declared it was time to run as soon as heâd found gloves.
Balefully, Jesper chews on his oats. Even wrapped in his blanket, the night is cold, and Kazâwhoâs still wearing nothing but underpants besides the robe/gloves/Jesperâs kefta/stolen coat combo and ill-fitting boots without socksâis shivering violently.
âWe should steal you some real clothes from the next house we see,â Jesper mutters. âAnd some decent food.â
âWeâre not stealing anything until weâre in Shu.â
Theyâve had this argument before. Jesper shouldnât be as thrilled about that as he is. Thereâs no way to resolve it, until they find the borderâor until Kaz keels over from hypothermia, because then even his rational fear of detection wonât keep Jesper from finding some trousers. For the time being, thoughâ
âIâm going to sit closer and steal your body heat. In exchange, you can wrap my blanket around your legs.â
Kaz glares. He can do it masterfully again: just like the limp snuck back as soon as he left the Little Palace, his face over the days grew thin and pockmarked. Vicious. Jesperâs commited it to memory, in case Oily, Tall and Dark steals it again.
âIf you freeze to death tonight, this was all for nothing. I could be sleeping in a palace right now. Well, a dingy side house, with the other Materialniks, but jokeâs on them. This whole escape would have been much more complicated if Iâd been a Squaller. Or a Sun Summoner, who refuses to even use his power to warm us up.â
âLeave it.â Kaz runs a finger roughly over where his collarbone should be, and he shudders. The temperature, or something worse, some new pain heâs not revealingâbut carefully, he leans his blanketed side against Jesper, and allows Jesper to throw his own blanket over him, too.
âIâll make you a new cane tomorrow. With a head, too, if we can scavenge enough metal from the buttons. Not a crow. You havenât earned that until we free Inej, but maybe⊠a worm.â
âThatâs just a stick,â Kaz mutters. âGo to sleep.â
Easy for him to say: Kaz is taking the first watch, and so heâs not balancing on a fallen log in the cold without a blanket, trying to fall asleep sitting up while leaning against Kazâ shoulder with as little contact surface as physically possible. After some hours or minutes, though, Jesperâs suffering is too much for even Kaz to handle. Who knew there was a limit! Who knew Kaz had heard of mercy! Maybe he just doesnât like Jesper wriggling next to him. He fists a lock of Jesperâs curls and pulls his head down into his lap.
âI didnât help you because I want to fuck you, just so youâre aware,â Jesper jokes, because this is actuallyâitâs actually almost comfortable curling up on the fallen tree with his head on the blanket on Kazâ thighs, even though thereâs the remnants of a branch digging into his hip and theyâre on the run from all Grisha in the world and also the new, expanded Ravka that covers nearly every country on this continent and Inejâs still imprisoned and if they actually manage to get back to Ketterdam, Jesperâs going to be in so much shit. And still, itâs⊠âI mourned you, you know, when Haskell told me youâd died. I wasnât just angry because the Dregs were a shambles without you.â
Kaz is quiet. Jesper sort of wishes heâd touch his hair again, or his shoulderâand he never seemed to have any trouble touching the Darkling, so what, is Jesper not good enoughâbut he also looked like a void back there, like in order to endure it maybe he had to smotherâ
âThatâs not why I mentioned that fantasy back there,â says Kaz, lyingly. Sure. He just happened to invoke Jesperâs obvious past crush for no reason whatsoever. The awfully convenient infatuation Jesper didnât have sense nor skill to hide back then. Kaz is exactly the kind of person whoâd exploit someoneâs first love. The person whoâs realize, long before Jesper did, that maybe, heâs not actually completely overâbut maybe that wasnât the important bit then. It went on. And that story about the Darklingâ
âYou thought Iâd help you out of pity?â Jesper would have done, if he hadnât been so angryâif he hadnât been already so freaked out by the placid expression, the clothes that looked expressly designed to torture the Kaz he knew, the cell⊠It wasnât pity. What is it you feel when a person you knewâmaybe not his secrets or his past or his thoughts or what trouble he just dragged you into because heâs a secretive dick, but still, you knew him, it was burned into your heart, his movements and the codes he taught you and just when a heist was about to trigger one of his fears heâd never mentioned and you needed to get him out now⊠What do you feel, when that person comes back from the dead, and comes back wrong. Like a stag with too many tongues inside its mouths and its hands locked behind its throat. Except the other way round, because Kaz Brekker was terrifying, and what he was made into or what pretended to be was only scary because it wasnât. Anyway. Kaz is a manipulative commandeering asshole again, so it doesnât matter. âYou despise pity.â
âItâs a tool, just like everything else. One he couldnât take. And pride just gave meâpity got me out of the Little Palace, didnât it?â
âSomething did.â Jesper tips his non-existent hat, and Kaz slaps the top of his head to make him stop wriggling. He keeps the hand there this time, knotted tight in Jesperâs hair. It stings, but itâs also⊠Jesper closes his eyes and tries to fall asleep before inevitably, itâll leave.
âPride. It was my fault.â Kazâ voice almost sounds the way it did back home. Harsh, viciousâand damaged. Human. âI thought I could bear it. He wasâthe Sun Summoner could have no weaknesses, he said, nothing for our enemies to use, and I allowed myself to think⊠âourâ enemies. I practiced. It was easier, after a while, to bear touch. I thoughtâit seemed like the best option, to stand at his side, and to make him see me as his partner I should⊠I was tired of being a prisoner. I thought I could use him.â
Thatâs bad enough, but⊠âBut youâre limping again,â Jesper hisses. âIf heâs forming you like a clay doll to make you his perfect Sun Summoner, he should have started with healing you.â
âThey did, when I first came to the Palace. I didnât wantâbut I learned to accept it. After my first escape, he broke it again, personally. Had it tailored over, afterwards, every few days. Incentive for cooperation.â
Thereâs nothing Jesper can do to fix this stagnant, lifeless voice. He could hug Inej, at least, but thisâ
âItâs what I would have done, too. He was just better than me, and he didnât need another one, so he had to change me.â
âBy dressing you up and making you look like a doll. If you tell me it was a sex thing, at least I couldâno, still couldnât relate. His tasteâs shit. That beauty was pretty ugly,â Jesper mutters into Kazâ thighs.
Kaz pulls at his hair againâprobably a rebuke, but the sting travels down Jesperâs spine toâwell, itâs time to change the subject rather quickly. Whatâs there to⊠oh yeah, his headâs on a blanket. Thatâll do. âI just had a great idea,â he says, andâyeah, his voice is still completely normal and steady. A little loud, maybe. Kaz hasnât moved his hand away, though, so it canât be too obvious.
âDonât hurt yourself.â
âFuck off, my bright idea of breaking into the centre of Grishadom to kill you in a murder-suicide attack because what else was I going to do, let the Dime Lions grind me between millstones to press out the fifty thousand kruge I may perhaps still owe themââ
âYou what?!â
Jesper powers on, because thatâs really a conversation best left for when heâs not lying in a forest with his head in Kazâ lap and trying to forget, desperately, the way it felt when Kaz pulled his hair. The way it feels when he does it again. âIâm just saying, it saved you. Youâre welcome. So anyway. We only have one pair of trousers. I was going to suggest we alternate wearing mine, but we both know I wouldnât get them back.â
âYour so-called idea is⊠interesting,â Kaz mutters, voice almost pulled asunder trying for both disturbed and mocking. âBut Iâm far more interested to hear about the fact you skipped out of Ketterdam without paying your debts. A crime punishable by death in every gang. Every gang in Ketterdam, the city where you want us to go.â
And yeah, thatâs occurred to Jesper, but⊠âThatâs a problem for later. Youâll think of something, boss, if we make it that far. You always have a plan. For now⊠I wouldnâtâwell, I would carry you if your legs freeze off, but it wouldnât be fun for either of us, so⊠You sewed yourself up constantly back home, and Iâd wager sewing is just like swimming. Once you know, you can never forget.â
âSkills are useless if you lack every materiaâJesââ
âYeah, I definitely can turn a button into a needle now. We just need to tear the second blanket into some vaguely trouser-shaped pieces, and for threadâwell, we could just tear up your Sun Summoner robe, itâs useless anyway.â
âJesper,â Kaz rasps again.
âIâm a genius?â
âNo, youâre still an idiot. Why not, though?â
âŒ
Kaz Brekker disappeared between Sunday and Tuesday night. Thatâs all Jesper knows, and itâs that precise only because Kaz has been experimenting with the payroll recently. Apparently, handing out wages on late Tuesday maximizes the chances of flushing as much money as possible back into the coffers of Dregs-owned establishments, and heâs also taken to handing out the money personally. Some weird power play that Haskell hasnât yet forbidden: everyone knows Kaz barely bothers to keep his accomplices informed about the job theyâre currently doing, and the big boss tolerates him mostly because Dirtyhands is still more useful insubordinate than dead.
Itâs Wednesday now, though. Wednesday afternoon.
And Jesper still hasnât gotten paid.
Kaz is gone.
Jesperâs in Haskellâs office, inquiring about everyoneâs money. Too irritated by the games of Makkerâs Wheel he was forced to miss out on last night to perform anything but the most pro forma I remember my bossâ boss is technically my boss and can kill me pleasantries. Instead of promising to kick Kazâ ass, though, like Jesper hoped, Haskell just tells him Pasko will give him his wages tomorrow.
Haskell wonât say anything else. Just, âThat boy got himself mixed up in something he couldnât handle alone, and it fucked him. You wonât like what you find, when you go looking for the dead.â
#jesper fahey#kaz brekker#inej ghafa#kaz x jesper#I'm free! well sort of I have an idea for a coda in which jesper roleplays the darkling so.......#dimtraces makes things#shadow & bone#shadow and bone

Oh hi! Can i ask for đ for felix with a female reader? Thank u! Those prompts were so cute btw!!
YES!! Iâm glad you like them! Honestly this is the most realistic way I could imagine Felix confessing since heâd never outright admit it without a little prodding.. đđ€
Felix:
- Felix would appear to be just as much of an asshole, but the other lions who know him well recognize that he is significantly less of an asshole to you. This is Felix code for âdamn it I secretly love youâ.
- In the academy days I could totally see Felix with unresolved feelings for a childhood crush on you, back from your little friend group in Faerghus. You donât really remember anything out of the ordinary, but as the oldest kid I know Sylvain remembers everything that mini Felix did. Probably Ingrid too, sheâs pretty perceptive, and Iâm sure they eventually got Dimitri in on it.
- So flash forward to present day with all of you as members of Blue Lions, Felix has been trying just a little too hard to convince them that he definitely doesnât have feelings for you. Faerghus squad has decided itâs been drawn out long enough, the truth has gotta come out before you end up married off to some other noble and itâs too late.
- Definitely says dramatic stuff like âyouâre insufferableâ and âI have no idea how Iâve tolerated you for so longâ when he gets flustered to cover up what he really means, âdamn it youâre adorableâ and âpining after you for a decade is getting frustratingâ.
- Sylvainâs ability to evoke jealousy and Dimitriâs ability to elicit a protective response from Felix because âget the hell away from her boarâ are S rank weapons in the âconfession war zoneâ.
- Step One: Get everyone to have an outing in town to âpick up something for Byleth.â Oh boy! Is that a pastry shop? Well Ingrid just has to force you all to go in! Everyone can sit at a booth with her while she eats~ Alright, time for Dimitri to sit right next to you! A success, he earns a mumbled âI donât trust you for a second, boarâ and then Felix is wedging himself between the two of you. Oh man thatâs a tight squeeze. Oh goddess you havenât been this close to Felix since you were little. It is at this point, Felix realizes that he has been duped. And he is now focusing on suppressing his raging heartbeat while touching thighs and arms with the love of his life. Damn those scoundrels..
- Step Two: Lunchtime! Sylvain has engaged you in a âšcasualâš game of hot or not, prompting you about your opinions on people at the monastery âinnocentlyâ while we test just how hard Felix is capable of clenching his fists! Q: So, whoâs the hottest house leader? A: Huh, Iâve never thought about that...I mean, Dimitri does have really pretty eyes! Felix is officially >:((((( and oh man when the boar stutters out a thank you Felix almost loses it..but he feigns cool and scoffs at the both of you.
- Q: Hmm ok..then what about everyone in our friend group? A: What? I mean, I think everyone looks pretty good?? Q: Welllll I donât know man, Felix is hella scary, he has a permanent scowl! Stupid Sylvain!! Felixâs nails are full on digging into his palms now, how dare Sylvain talk shit about him with you?! Then you laugh..Goddess send help please your laugh is too adorable!! A: Quit being a jerk, Sylvain, Felix is totally attractive! OH MAN. Is it even possible for Felix to hide how red his face is? Can everyone hear how fast his heart is pounding? (Y/n) just called him attractive he feels like heâs going to explode!
- Step Three: Get everyone to cycle through sparring together and tell embarrassing stories about Felix. Itâs a little evil but itâs a master plan..sparring is when Felixâs emotions show up the most. Everyone pray for my boy Dimitri who agreed to fight Felix while heâs worked up. Youâre benched for this match, watching Felix because man he was impressive..when Sylvain and Ingrid engage you in an odd conversation about your childhood to pass the time. Including:
âą Remember that time when we were little and Felix scraped his knee up super bad and came crying to you? He was sniffling so hard and he clutched onto you like a baby koala the whole time you patched it up!
âą Oh, or the time that we went out by ourselves to go camping and when it got dark Felix was so scared! He kept crying and crying until you eventually let him share a sleeping bag with you!
âą What about the time you sprained your ankle and Felix carried you the whole way home and told you he would be your knight in shining armor?
âą There was also that time when you and Felix built a pillow fort and he told us that we werenât allowed inside because it was âThe Fort of Fraldariusâ. And then we asked why you got to play inside the fort and he said that you were âLady Fraldarius of the Fortâ
- ALRIGHT THATâS IT. Rip Dimitri, his sparring partner is in a frenzy of embarrassment masked by rage đ Shortly after hitting Dimitri with a sword over and over again Felix goes off to hole up in his room after being called out for his feelings. Youâd be lying if you said you werenât a little flustered, but it was ultimately overpowered by how funny it was to think back to little things like that and then look at present day Felix. You hadnât thought about him like that in a while, he would always come to you and so you gave him space when he became more closed off.
- But you still mostly retained the ability to pick up on what the underlying meaning of your friendâs words and actions was. It seems he really hadnât changed so much from the sensitive little boy who sought your attention..his adoration was still there, he just had no idea what to do with it. Truthfully, a part of you has always loved Felix and you had even wondered about the possibility youâd end up married to him, given the ties between your parents.
- The thought of Felix sulking behind you silently yearning for the rest of your academy days and then abruptly having to go into marriage with you was a mess. So, if you were certain Felix liked you despite his words, would it really be so daunting for you to make a move?
- Now youâre knocking on his door and hear a very muffled âgo awayâ. The length of the chain bolt keeping the door shut allowed you to wedge it open just about an inch and you quietly peek inside and..Felix is on his bed, well, you canât really see him because there is a heap of blankets piled over him. As if heâs building a protective barricade against your friends. Wait thatâs exactly what heâs doing lol this is just the fuck off fort WAIT HOLY SHIT FORT-
- You whine at him to at least let you chill in his blanket fort because you didnât do anything with the intention of teasing him. He groans at your childishness and informs you that this âfortâ is not yours to invade. Ok this could end up with a million different outbursts but the cards are all on the table-
- âBut Felixxxxxx!! Even if Iâm older Iâm still Lady Fraldarius of the Fort đ„șđ„șđ„șâ
- But heâs quick to quip back at you..damn so close!! âWell, (Y/n), given that you are 17 years old now I was inclined to believe that you realized that you actually have to marry a Fraldarius for that title. Perhaps I underestimated your idiocy.â DAMN. He really went there. Ok, if thatâs how it is, two can play that game..
- âDamn, alright. Well if thatâs what it takes to get into the cozy Fort of Fraldarius, where do I sign up to check off the qualifications?â >:3
- OH BOY UMMM FELIX IS COMING OVER HERE REALLY FAST- Be prepared to be picked up and be thrown into the fort with Felix.. Itâs actually quite impressive how many different ways Felix can find to call you an idiot..while still attached to you. Felix, too, has known that thereâs a probability you would become eloped by your families, and brings that up now because âWhatever. I suppose if I must marry an idiot, it would minimize the negatives if it was an idiot that Iâve already had to tolerate for so long. But if I have to endure such for my family line, I guess I should build up as much of a tolerance for you as possible before then.â
- So basically, the heavily encrypted message you received was âYes, Iâve always thought about marrying you. But, now you have to be my girlfriend and give me as much of your attention and affection as possibleâ He gets a little better about covering things up and has at least admitted that he loves you and youâre official, along with that it makes him happy when you hold him like you did when you were kids. Heâs gone a wholeass decade now without ever seeking out anyone else, just remembering your childhood affections, so once youâre alone and heâs gotten used to things enough heâll be pretty touch starved. Now, he just sits and waits, glaring at you until you deliver your routine cuddles that he would never admit to wanting out loud..
WHEW OK I DID IT AGAIN AND WROTE A RIDICULOUSLY LONG HC ON ACCIDENT đ„șđ Followers pls let me know if you like the long ones I write or if youâd like me to start making them short! Also lmk if you want me to censor any cussing itâs just a regular part of my vocabulary so I always end up writing some! Tyty for all the support I really really appreciate it đ„°âš Oh! also! this is a side blog so unfortunately I canât really reply to comments without it getting confusing, but I read everything and appreciate comments so so so much!

Fluff Alphabet - Beckett x Anna
Word Count (Including the questions): 2075
A/N: Hi friends! I just really wanted to manifest the fluff energy into something! Some of these are are lot longer than others. Hope you guys enjoy it!
Tags: @miss-smrxtiee , @holystxne, @adam-dumortains , @herarmoredheart , @ilikeyellingatmyscreen
Tell me if you want to be tagged for future fics/headcanons about TE!
A = Attractive (what do they find attractive about the other?)- Anna and Beckett love everything about each other, but if you would force them to pick their favorite Beckett would say her duality. It may sound weird but Anna is optimistic, a very sunny person in real life. She loves how happy and loved she makes him feel simply by existing. Though, one time he had walked in Annaâs meeting room during a company-wide crisis and Anna had the poise, eloquence, intelligence and leadership skills to get the job done under an excruciating amount of stress. This stunned Beckett (and left him very turned on) of Annaâs stature that demands respect; he always knew that sheâs a force of nature when she needs to be. For what Anna loves about Beckett, she would say his passion. His passion for his career. His passion for awards. His passion and ambition. His passion for her. His passion wanting to be a better man. Even his passion when theyâre in bed...
B = Baby (do they want a family? why/why not?)- 100000% yes. Beckett would absolutly love being a father of Annaâs children. Anna has wanted to be a mother for as long as she could remember. Especially since she really wants a family of her own with Beckett. Â
C = Cuddle (how do they cuddle?)- They like cuddling whenever they need to when theyâre alone. But they like to do it best naked in bed, after doing something sexual. Anna loves to intertwine her legs with Beckett's legs and laying her head on Beckettâs chest, giving him kisses right above his heart. Beckett loves wrapping his arms around her, cradling Annaâs head and lovingly kissing the top of her head.Â
D = Dates (what are dates with them like?)- Before they graduated theyâre dates were low-key but still filled with love. But since theyâve become public figures and the public eye is always on them, they have more high-class, really expensive dates. Though whoever is the one responsible for planning the date theyâll make some sort of extra mile to make their dates special.Â
E = Everything (âyou are my ____â (e.g my life, my worldâŠ))- For Beckett, Anna calls says âyouâre the love of my lifeâ to Beckett. For Anna, Beckett would say âyouâre my amazing sunshineâ to her and whenever they say that to each other the break out in loving and wide smiles.
F = Feelings (when did they know they were falling in love?)- Beckett canât pinpoint exactly when he fell in love with Anna since itâs probably like, before their first year of Penderghast ended. The word âloveâ first came to mind when he thought of Anna when they played hooky and skipped class (book 2 chapter 6) but quickly extinguished the thought out of fear that she probably thinks of him as just a friend with benefits. He remembers wanting to say it for the first time when Kane had kidnapped Anna and he was desperate to make a portal to her no matter if it killed him. For Anna she knew she loved him the moment he called out Kane after one of his minions put an illusion spell on her and Beckett went all âover-protective boyfriendâ (book 2 chapter 9) and they werenât even dating at the time!
G = Gentle (are they gentle? If so, how?)- One of the biggest reasons why Beckett fell for Anna is because she is a great listener and very empathetic when it came to his family issues (like in book 2 chapter 2 when Beckett was upset because of Katrinaâs professor position). Her kindness and gentle nature towards not just him, but to others makes his heart flutter every time, often caught staring at her in amazement. Beckett, on the other hand isnât the most gentle person to others. But Anna feels special, knowing sheâs the only person on this planet who sees Beckettâs thoughtful, sweet and romantic side. The way he cups her face and gazes in her eyes, how much effort he puts into their dates, the way he worships her with even the smallest of touches. Anna absolutely loves this incredible man that sheâs fallen for, and at various times wonders what she did to deserve him.Â
H = Hand/Hold (how do they like to hold? how do they like to hold hands?)- They hold hands whenever they can. When they go out on family dinners, especially Annaâs family theyâll joke itâs glued together. For Beckettâs family, since most of his family gathering are fucking full-on galas, the extended family will sometimes gossip about them. Theyâre really excited for Anna to join the family but thatâs mostly because of her luxurious and and elegant public image and the prestige sheâll bring to the family name, they do know that she makes Beckett happy, though.Â
I = Impression (first impression/s)- As we all know, Beckett was really fucking rude when they first met, and Anna hated him. For Beckett he was obviously rude, but he was secretly intimidated by her, because her could feel her magickal potential the moment she landed on campus. If only they knew back then how much they would mean to each other later in life...
J = Joker (are they into pulling pranks?)- They actually donât play pranks on each other at all but Anna jokes around with him constantly. Beckett adores Annaâs sense of humour and that he can make him feel better and laugh even on the most stressful of days. Though, Anna plays pranks on the rest of the PendPals, even after their graduation! Beckett says âIâm opposed to joining in on this nonsenseâ but letâs honest, Anna is his biggest weakness so heâll join and help her and even get a laugh form it himself.Â
K = Kisses (how do they kiss?)- They kiss whenever they want to want. Whether it be a quick kiss when the other needs to leave or kissing like their lives depend on it, pushing each other on the nearest surface, getting their clothes off. Theyâre both amazing kissers. They both love when they lose their inhibitions and they kiss. The moans, the tiny gasps and gripping each otherâs clothes.Â
 L = Love (who says I love you first?)- Beckett said âI love youâ first on their last day of their second year at Penderghast. He couldnât keep it in anymore and he needed to say before they parted for summer break again. Anna was overjoyed that Beckett said the 3 little words and when she said them back, the both of them felt both elated and sad. Elated because they confessed their immense for each other and sad because they had to leave for summer break the next day.Â
M = Memory (their favourite moment together)- I donât think theyâll be able to choose, so Iâm just gonna list them.Â
- The first time they slept together (book 1 chapter 15)
- When Beckett healed Anna after falling in the mirror dimension (book 1 chapter 11)
- Annaâs birthday (book 1 chapter 14)
- When Anna came to visit Beckett in the medical ward (book 2 chapter 12)Â
- When they said I love you to each other for the first time (book 2 chapter 17)
N = Nickel (do they spoil? do they buy the person they love everything?)- People ask âwould you rather sentimental gifts or expensive gifts?â but for Anna and Beckett; who are some of the most richest and most famous people in the world, why not both? Anna likes to design luxury watches for Beckett every once in a while for a gift with loving messages engraved inside. Beckett loves gifting her experience, like trips all over the world on Annaâs private jets.Â
O = Orange (what colour reminds them of their other half?)- Yellow, gold and light pink remind Beckett of Anna, because yellow and gold represent sunlight and Annaâs Beckett sunshine. And light pink because itâs Annaâs favorite colour. Gray, sliver and dark blue remind Anna of Beckett. Dark blue because that was the colour of Becketâs blazer when they were in college. Silver reminds her of his metal attunement and gray is the colour of his deep eyes.Â
 P = Pet names (what pet names do they use?)- They will call each other baby, sweetie, sweetheart or call each other theyâre last names. After they got married Annaâs full name is now Anna Yoon-Harrington but they both love it when Beckett just calls her Mrs. Harrington. (Beckett gets really horny when Anna calls him Mr. Harrington in bed but you didnât hear that from me...)Â
Q = Questions (what are the questions theyâre always asking?)- They will often ask each other how much they love each other and what they love about each other. Sometimes theyâll ask each other when theyâre just relaxing together, when the other is feeling down, or just because! They love being in love with each other.Â
R = Rainy Day (what do they like to do on a rainy day?)- Theyâll just stay inside and have a low-key night with each other, get some takeout, and watch some TV. They might get some work in and maybe even workout together but Anna bought her own personal gym for more intense exercises and Beckett does very calming yoga.Â
S = Sad (how do they cheer themselves/each other up)- Beckett will wrap her up in his arms and comforts her, saying that he loves her and that sheâll be able to figure it out. When Beckett feels sad, Anna will just be near him in case he wants to talk about it. Sheâll cook one of his favorite meals or order something. They both also love comfort, loving sex to make the both of them feel better.Â
T = Talking (what do they love to talk about?)- Beckett loves talking about his studies and new discoveries in his research. He owns one of the biggest and technologically-advance research centres in the world. Anna often visits him, whether itâs because she misses him or because of work, since the both of them are in science but Beckett advances magick (mostly ward and portal magick) and Anna is in tech. But above all, his favorite thing to learn is all about Anna. Learning about her makes him so happy, wanting to memorise and learn everything about her. What she loves, what her plans are for the future and what makes her happy.Â
U = Unencumbered (what helps them relax? Include a headcanon!)- For the both of them, the others mere presence is enough to comfort them, even if theyâre even not talking. When they were seniors in Penderghast, Beckett had his finals and he was beyond stressed. But when Anna sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around neck and laid her head on his shoulder, he wrapped his arms around her waist, he had never been so calm during studying!Â
 W = Wedding (when, how, where do they propose?)- Beckett proposes on one of their international dates about a year and a half after they graduate. (Theyâll both be around 23-24) Heâs kind of scared because theyâre both so young but deep down in his heart, Anna and him being soulmates is a 10000000% certainty. (I might do a wedding/proposal fic in the future!)Â
X = Xylophone (whatâs their song?)- âCanât Help Falling in Loveâ is their song. One time Anna sang the song softly when she thought he was asleep while she was caressing his cheek but he could hear her singing the entire time. Beckett had never heard such a beautiful and ethereal-sounding voice. Â
Y = Youâre the ___ to my ___ (e.g the cookies to my milk, the macaroni to my cheese)- Beckett said âYouâre the key to my heartâ once to Anna, not realizing how cheesy it is so Anna will repeat it from time to time, as a way to tease him. But in reality, her heart absolutely melts and she breaks out into such a large smile that her jaw starts to hurt every time she thinks of it.Â
Z = Zebra (if they wanted a pet, what pet would they get?)- Annaâs lumien, Solar, already lives with them though Anna would love a small kitten. Solar and Navi (Atlasâ familiar) already have play mates every time Anna and Atlas meet.Â
Thatâs the end for the fluff alphabet! I hope you enjoyed it!

note â you know the drillâsend me an ask or dm to be added to the taglist! first appearance of the amazing aunt may, so cheers to that. donât really have much to add except for the fact that i woke up dead tired before morning classes to finish this...but it was fun so i guess it was worth it.
go to fic masterlist | main masterlist
Vernon almost jumped out of his seat when his phone buzzed.
And while he managed to keep his butt firmly planted, he did accidentally swipe half the stuff off his table, phone included. Granted, he should have been paying more attentionâusually, heâd be alert and ready for the pestering texts about the dayâs homework, but today he had been too tired to keep his eyes open for long.
He wiped the drool gathered at one corner of his mouth and swiped his phone up off the ground, his fingers going on autopilot as they entered the passcode and clicked open the messenger app.
LUCE:
page 25
wtf is a fitting reaction
nvm itâs fittig
VERNON:
reminds of the time you found a milf in the history textbook
LUCE:
the past is in the past
let it gooo
anyway send me the answers to q 11 through 13 and iâll buy u whatever u want from larryâs on friday
Vernon snorted a laugh, then clicked off without answering. Bold of her to assume I donât already have someone else to pay for my order. Somehow, though, the text from her had been almost relieving. After all the new changes, he had almost expected her not to text him. It was stupid, he knew, but he couldnât help being a little apprehensive about the new superhero stuff taking over his regular routine.
He glanced back at the ground, where an old notebook with plans for web shooter mods lay open on the ground, loose pages spilling out. It was already dark out, but the streetlights hadnât been switched on yetâa good time to sneak out in his suit without being seen; he didnât want Mrs. Jones next door wondering why Spider-Man was swinging out of Vernon Parkerâs bedroom window when she went out for her evening walk.
He exhaled through his teeth, blinking hard to push back any remaining sleepiness. Most of his homework remained yet to be done, but in his defense, heâd had a lot on his mind, not to mention his running on less sleep and more leftover Rhino-induced adrenaline.
He was tired. His was the kind of exhaustion that seeped into his bones and trickled into the empty corners of his mind, making him want move instead of lie down and rest for a while. It was the kind of tiredness you could only wash away by doing, and as long as he was Spider-Man, there was always something to do.
He clicked off the reading light, dousing the room in darkness. His senses were awake, as if straining for the stimulus of the city, and he needed a good nighttime swing to clear his mind anyway. I deserve a break.
Changing into the costume took all of forty-five seconds, picking up the fallen books three seconds. After sticking a pillow under the bedcovers, Vernon perched on the window pane, looking out into the chilly backyard below. Somehow, changing into his suit and swinging out from his actual neighborhood seemed even more thrilling than swinging in.
Maybe if I go out this way, those three wonât be able to follow.
âVernon, are you in there?â
His heart almost leaped out of his throat at the voice. Vernon turned, eyes wide, eyes zooming in on the shadow lurking at the bottom of his bedroom door, where a little light seeped in from outside. The lock clicked as Aunt Mayâs hand pressed down on the handle, and the door opened a crack.
âDonât come in, Iâm naked!â he yelled in a fit of panic, backflipping from the window onto the mattress, making the bedsprings squeak tellingly under his weight. Stupid, stupid, stupid. He was so sleep-deprived heâd forgotten about locking the door.
Rule number one of hiding your secret identity from your all-seeing aunt: never leave the bedroom door open.
âOh,â his auntâs voice came from outside. The light spilling in from the crack in the door receded as she pulled the door shut again. âI just wanted to ask, dear, arenât you going to eat anything? You havenât had a bite since you came back from school.â
Crap, thatâs true, he thought, the muscles of his stomach tightening at the thought. Iâll swing by the candy store downtown. âUh, I donât think I will,â he said. âIâm not hungry, erâthink I might be coming down with something.â
âWhy didnât you say anything?â Mayâs worried voice sounded, the door beginning to open again. âI could have whipped you up aââ
âNo!â he yelled, instinctively pulling the covers up to his chest. âNaked, remember?â
The door closed again. âWell, put something on,â she replied. âAnd Iâll make you some soup.â
âYou do that,â he muttered loudly, already feeling guilt pool in the pit of his stomach at making her so something for him. But what else was he supposed to do? âActually, no, donât bother. I can feel a headache coming on already. Iâll turn in for the night and have a big breakfast tomorrow.â
âAre you sure you donât want to anything?â
âYeah,â he said. âAnd donât come in! Becauseâyou knowâgerms and stuff. Really nasty bug going around in school, one of the kids in my class had it. Donât wanna infect you too.â
He heard her sigh, but it was an accepting sigh, albeit a little reluctant. âAll right,â she said, and the shadow under the door pulled back a little. âGood night, Vernon.â
âNight, Aunt May,â he said, watching the slit of light under the door until the shadow receded completely. As soon as he was in the clear, he breathed a sigh of relief, slipping off the covers.
Those S.H.I.E.L.D. guys had it easy.
Although he couldnât feel the night air on his bare skin, swinging through the city at night always left him feeling refreshed. It was a little ironic, sure, physical exertion energizing him, but Vernon suspected it was more of a psychological thing. Being out here in the open reminded him of who he actually was supposed to beânot just Vernon Parker, the tired highschooler with leftover chemistry homework, but crime-fighting, wall-crawling, not-homework-doing Spider-Man.
He landed on the roof of a high building, hitting the concrete with a satisfying plunk. Everything seemed more alive at night. Even from up here, he could hear the sounds of humanity on the street below, loud voices running into each other over the noise of traffic. The Daily Bugle billboard on the high building opposite him was lit upâJameson probably dragging him like alwaysâbut Vernon tuned it out. The last thing he needed right now was more negativity.
He was about to leap off the side again when his ears picked up a soft sound behind him. Bad guys, he thought reflexively, before realizing there was a much better explanation.
His jaw clenched, shoulders tightening before he forced them to relax. âYou can come out now,â he called without turning, upset rippling through his body despite him desperately trying not to show it. âThereâs no point in hiding if you canât even do it properly.â
Their hesitation was almost audible, but then she stepped out from behind the small roof door. Tigerâs white suit was stark against the dark sky, her maskâs cat ears perked like Daredevilâs horns. He had to admit it was pretty impressive that sheâd managed to stay unnoticed that long.
Nova floated up from the side of the building next, carrying a disgruntled-looking Felix. Seeing the latter out of his X-Men costume felt strange, like seeing Fury without his eyepatch. There was definitely something up with him, but Vernon didnât want to pry, so he stored the suspicion away for later perusal.
âYou can sense non-threatening presences with your spider sense?â Nova asked, looking both annoyed and awed. âYour file didnât say that.â
Vernon was tempted to lie just to spite him, but stopped himself. If these guys were going to be his teammates, lying about his abilities probably wasnât the best way to go. âNo, youâre just bad at stealth,â he replied, deadpan. âHow did you even find me? No, wait, let me guessâcamera outside my house?â
âTracker on your suit, actually,â Tiger said. Despite the mask covering her face, he could sense her guilt, which didnât help his case. âWe canât learn to work together if you keep running away from us.â
âRunning? I wasnât running,â he said defensively. âAnd if you want us to work together, the best place to start is to tell me your name.â
âYou already know my name.â
âYour other name.â
âAh.â Her head tilted up. The high ponytail coming out the back of her head flicked to the side as nodded. âWhite Tiger.â
âA bit simplistic, but to the point.â He nodded in mock-approval. âMakes me think I shouldâve just named myself Radioactive Spider.â
She didnât take the bait, which was probably for the better. âSo, what?â Nova asked, and Vernon was suddenly reminded of how infuriating his voice was. âAre you just going to stand around all night?â
âSwing around, actually,â he said. âItâs a big place. Sooner or later, Iâm bound to find a crime happening. Sometimes it even happens to me.â
As if on cue, sirens sounded in the distance, loud and piercing. He shrugged at the three, before turning around and balancing himself on the edge. âIf you want to get some real-world experience, thereâs nothing better than stopping a petty robbery,â he said. âI hope you can keep upâbecause Iâm not going to slow down.â
And he dived.
There was that feeling again, the air pressure against his body as he fell headfirst like a comet towards the busy street. A couple of people looked up as he pulled up at the last moment, shooting webs at an overhead lamppost and swinging in a circle around it before letting go, launching his body into the air again.
He looked over the rooftops as he swung, half-curious about how the others were going to follow. A small, white-clad figure leaped from building to building with surprising grace and strength, able to match him in speed. Nova flew alongside him, carrying Iceman again, who still wasnât using his powers. Vernon knew it wasnât a case of loss of powers either, because then he wouldnât be here, and plus, heâd seen the guy in action this morning. Was he trying to remain inconspicuous?
The less people know Icemanâs in town, the better, he thought, though he knew it was a futile effort. The Rhino fight in the morning hadnât had any live coverage, but he knew for all its lectures, S.H.I.E.L.D. wasnât going to bother with hiding its tracks either. School next day was probably going to be buzzing with talk about the new superheroes.
He gritted his teeth. All this in a day. He could imagine how bad everything was going to get in the coming days.
Mid-swing, he saw the crime happening up ahead, a group of masked men trying to break into a store through the back door in a poorly-lit area. Vernon balanced on a high lamppost without alerting them, taking a moment to assess the situation. There were about eight men in balaclavasâa lot for a simple robbery. Maybe they were first-timers. Easy enough to take down.
âA record store?â he wondered aloud, and one of the guys whirled around, looking up at him with wide eyes. âWhat are you guys doing stealing from record stores?â
âSpider-Man!â one of them yelled, though he didnât really see the point, since anyone who hadnât noticed him yet probably deserved whatever was coming.
The man who had noticed him first fumbled for something along his hip before pulling out a gun and pointing it at him. âDonât move, or Iâll shoot!â
âOh, no, donât shoot!â he called out, and the manâs taut shoulders relaxed somewhat before Vernon shot a web straight at the gun, jerking it right out of his hand. âCanât believe you fell for that.â
He jumped, landing on the ground in a crouch. The leader of the little group, the one who had been trying to bust open the door with a crowbar, stepped forward, swinging said crowbar in what Vernon guessed was supposed to be a menacing way. âStep aside,â he said to his men, his eyes narrowed on Vernon. âIâll take care of the Spider.â
Vernon was so amused he let the guy attempt to swing at him, dodging the crowbar at the last moment. âOkay, not gonna lie,â he said. âWhen you called me the Spider, it made me feel kind of sexy.â
He kicked the robber in the side, sending him flying into a trashcan. The rest of the group hesitated only a moment before closing in again. Vernon webbed the lid of the trashcan, swinging it around like a shot-put player and knocking back some of them, before he let go, sending it crashing into one.
Nova dropped Felix in the midst of the group, and his skin slowly solidified into ice. âOkay, playtimeâs over now,â he said. âIf you just give up, I wonât have to bash your heads in.â
âWhere did you come from?â one of the men asked, clearly surprised, right before Iceman froze him into a life-sized ice sculpture.
Vernon knocked out another man with a good old punch to the face. His spider sense buzzed. The crowbar guy, he thought as he whirled around, hands spread in shooting position, but White Tiger was already there, slicing through his crowbar with her claws. âThanks,â he murmured, as she put him out of commission with a well-placed roundhouse.
She inclined her head. âDonât get distracted.â
He turned, seeing Novaâs fists start to glow as he aimed at the guy who was attempting to sneak away. Vernonâs eyes landed behind him, where an unsuspecting civilian car was coming down the street. âNo!â he yelled, webbing a surprised Nova to the wall.
âHey, man, what the heck?!â Nova yelled back, struggling against the webs. Vernon shot web fluid at the guy who had been trying to escape, wrapping him up like a cocoon. There was the muffled sound of something heavy falling as Tiger drop-kicked the last one, cleanly finishing what he admitted would otherwise have taken longer. She leaped across the street, slicing through the webs covering Nova, who dropped to the sidewalk.
âWhat the hell was that for?â he asked, stalking up to Vernon with his fists clenched. âI had that guy!â
âNo, you almost sent him crashing into that car,â Vernon said, gesturing at the vehicle behind him that now passed unharmed. âWhen in a fight, civilians are always first priority. They canât defend themselves like us.â
Nova scowled, but turned on his heel and marched away, muttering something about him stealing the glory. Vernon watched him go with a frown, then turned around.
One of the robbers lay webbed-up, two quite literally frozen in place, five knocked out. The fight had taken a total of about two minutesânot a record, but considering the number they were going against, surprisingly efficient. He wasnât even sure if this classified as a fight or simply a one-sided beatdown.
Overkill, he thought, then sighed. âYou people have a lot to learn.â
âOh, come on,â Iceman said. He seemed energized after the fight as his skin melted back to normal, a lively glint in his eye where there hadnât been one a few minutes ago. âThat was so much fun.â
âYeah, but you have to learn to care about collateral damage,â he snapped, trying and failing to hide his annoyance. Now that he wasnât swinging alone, crime-fighting wasnât half as fun, even if it was twice as fast. Having someone watch his back was safe, sure, but it could lead to him letting his guard down. And what if he ended up somewhere alone? âYouâre fast, but weâre not fighting in a vacuum. Weâre not fighting a war, weâre protecting people. Thatâs supposed to be the most important thingâmaking sure no one gets hurt.â
âEven these guys?â Nova asked, toeing one of the unconscious robbers.
âYeah, even these guys,â Vernon said. âWell, they can be hurt a little bit, but thatâs only because thereâs no other way to stop them. Next time, make sure youâre not letting any innocent people get in the way of your fun.â
The group fell silent. He almost felt bad about killing their enthusiasm, but Novaâs recklessness had managed to give him a scare. One more second and he might have had a death on his conscience.
The sirens were closer now. Heâd completely forgotten about the cops; web-slinging was a much faster method of travel than cars, and he almost always left them behind. âCome on,â he told the others, casting one last glance around the scene. Something felt off, but he guessed it was just the novelty of working in a team. Fun day. âThe police will find them. Letâs go.â

okay i'm already procrastinating and i don't plan on sleeping any time soon so here we go.
â â© my personal ranking for every season 1 Sanders Sides episode. â© â
i think it's going to be pretty similar to @dukeofonions' but let's see if i find something new to contribute haha. i see you didn't include that one about Patton in the Big Game or whatever, so i'm not including it either xd. also i think i'm going to count Accepting Anxiety as one episode only.
edit: i finished and now i dare you to drink a shot of water every time i say the word spanish or a version of the word comfort and become very well hydrated.
#16 I'm in a Disney Show
(i agree with dukeofonions here) i always forget this episode exists. it was ok in terms of being happy for real life Thomas but as a Sanders Sides episode it didn't do anything. the sides were just giving their opinions but it wasn't very funny or interesting. also i'm bitter because it made me look up the episode he was in and i didn't like it at all. i don't know if i'm too old for those Disney shows now but Thomas was literally the only good part of it, everything else was really dull and boring imo. a waste of time.
however, Logan supporting clickbait is one of the funniest things ever, and i'll never forget it.
#15 Becoming A Cartoon
i didn't hate this episode but it was just .. meh.. you know? several factors contribute to this. one, i couldn't feel much nostalgia for Butch Hartman's shows because i watched them in Spanish, and everything feels really weird when they speak English, i don't like how my old cartoons sound in English. two, it was disappointing to me because we were all desperately waiting for Plotâą and instead they give us this short episode about nothing (oh how the tables have turned now it's the other way around haha). and three, i didn't like the style of the animation :/ their faces and expressions freaked me out, Roman's douchey face still haunts me.
#14 Way Too Adult
here i'm biased because i don't like Patton much, and i didn't back when i watched the series the first time either, so this video was a little disappointingwithout the rest. also it wasn't relatable to me because i am still too young and dependent on my parents haha. but Patton is funny and it's funny to laugh at Thomas' struggling.
#13 The Dark Side of Disney
i've never been a fan of Disney movies. i actually never watched Mulan or the Lion King or Aladdin as a kid, so meh. i liked the ending, though, it was cool to see Virgil have fun and be right for once. it does make me a bit uncomfortable because the way Thomas tries too hard with Virgil's mouth movements and his low voice reminds me of a guy that had made me v uncomfortable not long before watching that video. so an icky feel overall.
#12 A New Year of Lying to Myself
this video was actually kind of fogettable to me. i had a hard time connecting the voices in the song to the characters and idk. i don't love it nor hate it, just .. neutral.
#11 My True Identity
pretty much the same opinion as dukeofonions, again. it's a good introduction and it's good that it was the beginning of it all but on its own it's not very special. i think it's awesome on Thomas to have come up with such a clever idea, like choosing the dad, the teacher and the prince and putting them together and match them with thoughts?? that fit so perfectly?? it really is just very impressive when you think about it, that it was just a random idea he had for a short 5 minute video.
#10 Taking on Anxiety
i liked this video a lot because when i watched it i had recently been a lot on tumblr, and found out through relatable posts that i had anxiety. so watching this video was really fun and it made me happy to feel so seen, specially the intro when Thomas just talks about what it's like to have Anxiety and Virgil is so smug about it.
- â
-
okay now that those are out of the way things are going to get hard... all the following i love with all my heart so i'm going to rank them based on the smallest things.
#9 Growing Up
once more, Patton isn't my favorite. so that's why i'm putting this here, plus the echo at the end askjhsahg, but i love love this video. i remember we were waiting and oh so ready for the angst of nobody taking Patton seriously. and we received!! i love that though Roman and Logan are antagonists here, they're both so happy about Thomas wanting to have a healthy life. and i just adore the way Logan admits his mistake at the end and asks Patton directly. my heart... also aw.. the nostalgia. i remember none of us knew how to spell Patton's name and were writing it in very funny ways until Thomas and Joan told us lol.
#8 The Mind vs The Heart
when i watched this video the first times i didn't like it much, because i only had eyes for Virgil, but later i came back to it and loved it. so taking that into account i'm putting it here. logicality was the first ship i ever shipped in the show because i saw a gifset on tumblr of Patton screaming "what do you know about love?!" and Logan "apparently more than YOU" and the caption said "MARRIED", and i thought hey yeah... anyway. i love them. they're both my dads since that day.
this video is so so so relatable and i love it. Logan and Patton are so much fun arguing and i love how they compromise at the end and work together. im reconsidering.. i might move it higher? no, fine i'll leave it here.
#7 Making Some Changes
this video was absolutely hilarious. i personally couldn't see it as the Sides still once they were acted by Thomas' friends, i enjoyed it more as that bunch being silly and trying to be the sides but failing in so many ways, while sometimes nailing stuff suddenly. i really don't take this one too seriously as an episode. except Joan!Logan and Valerie!Logan, my beloved... i love how Joan acted as Logan and their voice and that they kept their ace ring on.. there's a reason i had them as my icon for so long. and Valerie looks a bit (a lot) like me with the glasses and dressed in dark colors, plus she spoke Spanish and there's .. no words to describe the joy i felt when seeing/hearing that. wait i'm getting emotional...
#6 My Personality Q&A
when i watched this Virgil was my favorite side and i didn't care much about the rest lol. when i heard his answers i related to him SO much it was scary, and also his voice is so soft and it was all very comforting. it was also when i first starting looking at Logan with more attention, because when he brought up Big Hero 6 and Fall Out Boy and said he didn't sing and would recite it like a poem? it only took a couple seconds but my brain said "me" and never went back.
now this video is a little underwhelming to watch for me, most of the appeal for me was in finding out the answers, and also watching it when we didn't know a lot about the sides. now we know more and want to know more so it's not as fun to me as it was first.
i wish so bad they'd do another one, although i know it would be more difficult with a much bigger audience, i think they can manage and i just need it. the chaos.. the energy.. they all being so savage with each other, learning little random facts about them you didn't expect.. i need it.
- â
-
oh boy top 5 here we go. the next three are practically a tie. i can't choose.
#5 Alone on Valentines Day
i love Valerie, and the idea of this video was perfect and so perfectly excecuted. every side just giving their crazy opinions on how to woo a random stranger, i laughed SO much. first with Logan speaking simlish out of nowhere? at that point i didn't know practically anything about the sims except that it was some video game and the whiplash of Logan going AYO and the rest killed me. then when Roman whipped out that dialogue in Spanish??? my life was completed. i've never felt more happy than i did in that moment gosh. just the hilarity of Roman's drama, the shock of them speaking Spanish suddenly like that, the absolute JOY of seeing a creator i like speak (may i say) perfect Spanish, the other characters' faces after that.. never been happier.
also the conclusion was so cute. Virgil solving the whole problem without wanting to. i loved it.
#4 Am I Original
i think this video speaks for itself. it was fun to watch them all do the ideas Roman had, plus Logan and Virgil nodding at each other, (i love them so much), plus the angst at the end of Roman's perfectionism, plus Roman's just perfect name. this video has it all.
i think Thomas posted it kind of late at night and i watched it at 7am in the classroom as i waited for my classmates to arrive and the class to start. (i usually was like 40 minutes early to school due to momâs work). i had to contain my laughter and it wasnât easy.
#3 Losing My Motivation
i started loving this video after a while, when Logan passed Virgil in the position for my favorite side. but once he did this episode was beautiful. it's so funny and i love Logan and Patton's dynamic so much. and the video also so damn relatable in general. i felt so seen with it because they named all the problems i have when procrastinating, down to Patton's vague explanation of his feelings, it's exactly how i feel every time i want to do stuff. and the plot twist! i can hear the dramatic sound effect and see how they all turn to Logan clearly in my head, and it always makes me smile. plus there's so much Logan angst that can be dug up and overanalized. i love to watch it over and over.
#2 Accepting Anxiety
this video was perfect. everything we wanted. we knew it was coming and it delivered perfectly, better than any fanfic done in the waiting time. the week between the parts was agonizing but in a fun way somehow. i remember precisely when i was watching part 2 in my living room. i screamed. and i cried, a lot. i was feeling terrible at that time in my life and Thomas was such a comforting presence and i can't begin to describe how this episode made me feel.
and later it is always fun to rewatch with all their different reactions to being in Virgil's room, the energy of that was on point. Thomas is such a great actor and the characters where just amazingly performed. plus it gave so much to talk adn think about, the idea of the rooms, lots lots of insight into the characters, foreshadowing, so much. it's just perfect i have nothing else to say.
#1 (for purely emotional reasons, ironically) My Negative Thinking
i think Accepting Anxiety is the best episode of the season objectively but my favorite is My Negative Thinking. because i love Virgil and Logan so much and seeing them argue together was and is great. the comfort.. i can't repeat that word enough throughout this post. it's such a soft video while not being overwhelming with Patton and Roman's outbursts. just quiet (mostly) and clear and with perfectly timed humour.
Logan my beloved.. learning spanish... helping me with my own anxiety.. and their debate was so good. and the fact that they were friends i- i can't. Virgil didn't think Logan liked him and Logan told him explicitly that he did and the casual softness of it i cant even. Logan is happy that he tried.. it's just marvelous. Virgil and Logan as best friends will always be my favorite pair, and their dynamic will always be what i strive for in any relationship i might form, with both sides silently comforting each other within their own limits and realistic perspectives. so nice.
- â

so yeah. that's all. thank you if you read all the way up to here. ⥠⥠âĄ
