Dekus no good, very bad, faceplant into masculinity and internalized homophobia
I made this a thought post from chapter 402 originally, but I can’t let these thoughts fester any longer. Gotta be correct about it 🫶🫶🫶
Alright so when I originally talked about this on a couple of platforms (not just tumblr, tiktok too and a bit on Twitter that has no connection to this account lmao) I feel like people told me that I was “stretching” with my assumptions.
But then Toga’s backstory being told to Ochako was… directly referenced to a queer allegory. And in 394, she directly says that she likes girls. It’s the thing said last, implying it’s something she’s still ashamed of feeling.
Tumblr media
This chapter basically confirmed in my mind that Himiko’s blood quirk was the equivalent to the homophobia that was probably in her own household. And in my mind, that means that blood quirk = metaphor on her queer experience.
And then suddenly, the pieces clicked into place.
In 348, Izuku disagrees with Himiko and Ochako’s ideals—not only at the idea of girly romance, but also at unconventional romance.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ochako has distanced herself due to Izuku’s inability to confront his own feelings. Shown both physically and metaphorically.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ochako took all the steps to walk away because from Izuku. Because Izuku held her back.
Or more rather, she realized that Izuku was no allmight, but rather just an average boy in need of saving as anyone else. He is someone who’s flaws cannot align with Ochako’s own ideals for a relationship.
Because ochako is weird.
Tumblr media
Izuku holds her back. She can’t be everything she needs to be while around him.
And that’s something Izuku’s not going to understand, not like how she needs him to understand.
Tumblr media
And Himiko knows who Ochako is on a more fundamental level than Izuku ever will, and that’s okay.
I feel like whenever I talk about these character flaws having to do with Izuku, it almost sounds like I’m bashing him? I swear, I’m not, it makes complete sense as to why he is this way. And there are people (Katsuki) in the world who can have this in a relationship under the right communication, and some people can’t. And that’s just how we exist. That’s okay. We don’t all have to be compatible with everyone.
Back to the main point, the pieces and the people putting those pieces together were starting to see their parallels.
Tumblr media
Even the manga placement parallels them, especially with how clever I feel horikoshi can be with his paneling.
Looking down, looking up. Both three quarter angles. Small mouth expression, big mouth expression. And that blush.
Fake smile when unhappy. Falling for someone who is dying, who you’d do anything for, even toe the line of death defending them, fixing them—just because you can’t help but love someone you wish had walked into your life sooner (or in Izuku’s case, accepted into your life sooner).
Someone you’d sacrifice for. Someone you’re violent for. Someone you’d kill for.
Someone you’d rather let an entire population of people die for than live without.
Someone you’re undeniably, unequivocally, selfish for.
And yet Izuku doesn’t recognize his same symptoms of love through Himiko Toga as Ochako does.
Himiko must be dehumanized to Izuku, because if she’s a person, then she is him.
Tumblr media
(What’s even more interesting about this panel, is that if the characters were reversed and it was about Izuku’s violent feelings over protecting Katsuki, danger sense would be going off constantly. So toga is the perfect counter, but Izuku is the ultimate weakness.)
So, okay, how exactly do these things matter? How does this have to do with Izuku’s own personal struggle over his masculinity?
I think what’s important to clarify here is that when I say “internalized homophobia”, I don’t mean that he necessarily is beating himself up over the fact that he likes a boy instead of a girl.
I think it’s connected to his fear of rejection, and his own personal issues having to do with remaining a “strong man” instead of a “weak man”.
Izuku may not believe that liking men is anyone’s business but his own, but does Katsuki think that?
Izuku has called his feelings of admiration gross. Not that he himself is an awful person for feeling them, but that Katsuki will be the one to think they’re gross. And he’s worked so hard to get to this point in their relationship, he doesn’t wanna let it go over some stupid feelings.
And this is where toga comes into the picture, his parallels between her, because just how is Toga supposed to know that Ochako isn’t judging her for her feelings? Technically, all of the things she’s said before the final fight between them have only proved the inevitable. That Toga is gross, a freak, a predator, a danger, because she loves a woman.
How is Izuku supposed to interpret being called a stalker by Katsuki? How is he supposed to interpret when people call him creepy for his muttering and analyzation? How is he supposed to interpret being called a crybaby by his idol, Katsuki, and everyone else when he cannot control that?
How can he handle feelings that are out of his control, and still believe that they’re okay?
And at the very least, even if homophobia doesn’t exist in mha, heteronormativity does. Especially shown through Ashido, a straight girl.
None of that is necessarily Allmight, Katsuki, or even Ochako’s fault, because of course they’re just teasing him—but it doesn’t change the fact that it affects how he perceives himself.
So when I say that Izuku has problems with internalized homophobia, I mean that he is afraid of how the people around him will perceive him, than a constant feeling of self hatred due to not liking women.
And when I say that his internalized homophobia is an extension of his masculinity, I mean that because he has no confidence in himself and his more vulnerable emotions, he is unable to accept what or who he is. This ofc affects the people around him, like saying that Ochako CANT be weird because she’s just “so amazingly normal” without realizing that he’s just downplaying who she is and what she thinks, or dehumanizing the most openly queer character in the series because it benefits the perception he has of himself, or even silently rejecting Katsuki’s feelings simply out of a need to “control his heart and control his quirk”.
In Izuku’s mind, the only way to keep Katsuki is to not be the weird kid he was in his childhood. In a way, Izuku is still performing for Katsuki.

Because this tiktok trend is really old now how would skz reaction to you wiping off thier kisses? Like because it's an old trend they probably wouldn't be thinking that's what you're doing.
gotta keep them on their toes right? i gotchu!!
oh my gosh it’s been nearly a month since i’ve posted anything i- 😭😭 midterms are over now, so i’m hoping i’ll have more time! still working on the rest of the requests i’ve received not to worry 🫡🫡
i hope y’all like this one! i’m gonna be honest, i didn’t have a lot of ideas going into it, so i changed it up a lil from how the prompt was. i think it turned out okay though!
enjoy!
~~~
Bang Chan:
"Baby?" Your boyfriend called down the hall, wandering from the in- home studio to find you in the kitchen making a snack.
You smiled as Chan rounded the corner, with bleary eyes and messy hair. "Hi love, did you just finish?" He hummed and drew you into a hug once he was close enough, burying his head into the crook of your neck. You giggled at his cute behavior and rubbed his back gently.
"Finished and fell asleep..." Chan mumbled into your neck, the sensation making you giggle.
You brought a hand up to scratch at the nape of his neck. "Sounds like you needed it, hm?" Another hum escaped your sleepy boy. "Do you want some of my snack?" Chan nodded, raising his head to see what you were making.
You pulled away briefly to grab the snack (cheese and crackers, a classic) and fed him some. Chan giggled when he realized you wanted to feed him and let you, blushing a bit from the gesture. Afterwards, he pressed a crumby kiss to your cheek.
"Gah! Chris!" You cried out, dramatically wiping at your cheek. Honestly, you didn't really mind, but you wanted to see how he'd react.
Chan just giggled, a shy smile spreading on his face as he pulled you close once again, covering you in more (yet significantly less crumby) kisses.
You squealed out and pushed at his chest, Chan’s laughter mixing with your own as he continued with his attack. “Baby!” You whined, playfully squirming in his hold.
Chan’s arms slipped around your waist and held you fast, his lips trailing down to yours. His warm breath fanned across your face, leaving you completely defenseless. Then he pressed a searing kiss right to your lips, leaving you breathless when he pulled away. You stared up at him, a dazed look in your eyes.
“You’re not gonna wipe that one away now, are you?”
Lee Know:
"Honey? Is that you?" Minho's voice was soft, but it still broke through your post-work haze as you toed off your shoes by the door.
"Yeah Min, I'm home." You called back, shrugging off your jacket and hanging it up. Your scalp was screaming from being up in a bun all day, so you worked on wrestling out the bobby pins while you made your way to the living room.
You freed your hair from its confines just as you came around the corner, finding Minho’s gentle gaze peering back at you. He offered you a warm smile and patted the couch, beckoning you over.
“Hi love…” You said softly, plopping down beside Minho and letting him pull you into his side. You buried your head into the fabric of his hoodie and took a deep breath. “Missed you…”
Minho made a small cooing noise in the back of his throat and pet your hair gently. “Long day?”
“Only the longest… I just keep telling myself that this is my dream job…” You sighed, turning to rest your cheek against his chest.
“That bad, hm? You wanna talk about it?” Minho’s words sent tingles through your body from being pressed so close to him. You huffed out a laugh and shook your head.
“It’s okay, I’m just tired."
"Okay." Minho responded, shifting so he could press a smooch to your forehead.
The kiss was loud and dramatic, and it made you giggle. Without thinking, you wiped at the excess spit his left on your forehead. "Minho! You slobbered me!" You exclaimed, looking up at your boyfriend with a goofy grin on your face.
Minho was staring back at you. If looks could kill, you would be at death's door. It was as if his eyes were screaming at you, beyond offended at you wiping away his love. You couldn’t help but laugh and sat up, pressing your own kisses onto his skin in an apology.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Give me another kiss, I won't wipe it off again!"
Changbin:
Changbin, your love, your light, your life, had been annoying you to no end. This morning it had been his excessive screaming, this afternoon it had been his covers of random songs, and now he would not stop trying to teach you his rap parts in one of their new songs. And he was a really bad teacher.
"No, baby! The flow isn't right, you miss this syllable," He gestured to the lyrics written out in front of you, "and it really kills the rhythm. Let's try again!"
"Bin! I don't get it! I'm not a rapper!" You exclaimed, feeling more and more frustrated by his criticisms. Plus his hand writing was so bad that you could hardly read the lyrics in the first place.
Changbin pouted, grabbing your hand gently. “Can we try again? Please?” You groaned and slumped forward in your seat, laying your head on the table for a moment.
“Fineeee…” You said after a moment. Changbin smiled at the success of his pouting and started the track again.
This time, the word flowed from your lips like water in a stream. You didn't have near as much swagger as your boyfriend did while rapping, but you didn't sound bad by any means. When you chanced a glance over to Changbin, he was sitting there with stars in his eyes. You smiled despite yourself as the verse came to an end.
"So? Was that better?" You asked, leaning back in your chair.
"Was it better? That was great! My baby is a natural!" Changbin exclaimed, leaning over the table to press kisses to your cheeks.
You giggled and batted at him playfully. "I'm not a natural! You had to help me, silly!" Changbin stopped his attack and sat back, and you took the chance to wipe at all the kisses he left on your face. "That's for instilling me with false confidence." You snickered, smiling at him mischievously.
Changbin gasped and let out a dramatic whine. "Babyyyyy!! How could you?! Do you not love your Binnie??" You just started laughing, heart melting immediately at Changbin's cute pout.
"Noooo! Wait I'm sorry!" You laughed, getting up from your chair to hug your pouty boy. "I'll give you all the kisses you want, no more wiping them off!"
Hyunjin:
"Yah! Stay still!" Hyunjin barked at you from his seat in front of the canvas, throwing you a playful glare. You sighed and sat up straighter, trying your hardest to stay posed how he wanted you.
"Hyunnnn... my back is hurting!" You whined (because he didn't say anything about staying quiet). "Are you almost done?"
Hyunjin glanced at you again, his gaze softened. You knew he was starting to feel guilty for keeping you sat there for so long. He looked back to the canvas and started to work more diligently.
"Just a bit longer, okay? You look so beautiful, my love. I don't wanna rush..." Your boyfriend responded, his voice much less harsh now.
You nodded and settled in, keeping perfectly still and trying to ignore the burning that was slowly creeping up your spine. You distracted yourself by watching Hyunjin work. His long black hair was pulled up and away from his eyes, which were focused and calculating as he worked. He was just too pretty. It was unfair, honestly, but selfishly checking him out was your compensation so you couldn't complain too much.
Except for the fact that the pain in your back was getting harder to ignore.
You let out a loud, frustrated sigh before finally, finally, Hyunjin put down that godforsaken brush.
"Okay, okay, I'm done for now." He said, getting up and stretching. You did the same, trying to quell the fire in your muscles. "Come here, baby." You looked to see Hyunjin with his arms out, offering you a hug.
"I don't feel like I should hug you after that torture." You said, crossing your arms. Hyunjin smiled and shook his head, walking forward to wrap you up in his embrace anyway.
"Too bad, I missed you~" He hummed, burying his head in the crook of your neck. You couldn't help but smile and melt into him. Hyunjin chuckled and stepped back, brushing your hair away from your face and giving you a loving look. You pulled a playful scowl back onto your face, which made him laugh once again. "You're cute..." He hummed, placing a delicate kiss on your forehead...
...which you promptly wiped right off, jumping up from your seat and making your way to the door.
Hyunjin caught you around the waist just before you could escape. "Yah! That's not nice! Don't wipe away my love!" He exclaimed, a playful lilt in his tone. You began to giggle gleefully, which made him growl in your ear. "Oh, you wanna laugh?"
You squealed as his fingers dug into your tickle spots, and through your laughter you cried out, "I'm sorry! I won't wipe them away again!"
Han:
When you heard the front door close, it was nearing 1am. This was much later than the time that Jisung promised to be home. You'd practically been worried sick, especially since he wasn't answering your calls or texts. But no, clearly he was fine- just ignoring his worried partner.
So there you sat, arms crossed, silently fuming as your lovely boyfriend came around the corner.
Immediately, you felt bad when you saw him. He looked so tired. His big eyes were bloodshot and framed with dark circles when they were usually bright and full of life, and he was a bit slouched as he walked. But still, he perked right up when he saw you, lips pulling into his big, gummy smile.
"Hi baby!" He said cheerfully. His voice would be a sharp contrast to his appearance, if it wasn't for the hoarseness from recording all day. You glanced at the clock once again and felt yet another pang of frustration.
"Hi Ji," You greeted, offering him a tight lipped smile. "Little late, isn't it? Why didn't you answer my texts? I was worried." Jisung visibly deflated at your words as he sat beside you and that made your heart wrench in your chest.
"Ah- it is late, huh? I'm sorry, baby. I got caught up editing tracks with Chan and my phone died. The studio doesn't have Apple chargers anymore, so I couldn't fix it and there's no clock so-," You cut off his rambling with a hand on his arm.
"Ji- calm down. It's okay, I was just worried, that's all. I'm glad you're home." You told him, offering him a smile to assure him that you were being genuine. Jisung relaxed, and you opened your arms to pull him into a hug. "You okay?"
He nodded against your shoulder, holding you close. The two of you sat in silence for a moment before he pulled away and pressed a kiss to your cheek. You gave him a teasing look and dramatically wiped at the kiss, attempting to get a rise out of him.
That did not go over well, and instead of playing along, tears gathered in Jisung's eyes and his lips immediately pulled into a deep frown.
You laughed in disbelief and pulled him into another hug, holding the back of his head protectively.
"Oh baby, I'm sorry! I was just joking, please don't cry! I won't wipe any more off!"
Felix:
"Babe, are you gonna finish up soon? I'm bored..." You whined, laying face down on your boyfriend's bed, phone abandoned beside you. He'd been working on his PC for hours and you just wanted his attention.
"Impatient, hm?" Was all Felix said in response, and you could practically hear the smile in his voice.
You groaned loudly and kicked your legs. "Lix, it's been hours. I'm wasting away over here!" Felix just laughed, his deep chuckle sounding way too teasing.
You lifted your head and scowled at his back, wishing he'd set down those stupid tools and come pay attention to your before you literally went insane. As you glared at him, an idea crossed your mind. There was an old Tiktok couples prank that you had been wanting to try since you started dating... What better way to get back at him for ignoring you?
Felix was hunched over his keyboard at you approached him from behind, focused on screwing something into something else. When you reached him, you leaned forward, pressing your chest against his back, and wrapped him up in a back hug.
"Lix... pay attention to me..." You whispered in his ear, you voice overly sensual. Felix tensed up beneath you, and you heard his breathing pick up in the quiet of the room. "Oh? Was that all it took?" You teased, nipping at his earlobe before returning to your place on the bed.
It took about .5 seconds until Felix was on you, pushing you down onto the bed and kissing your feverishly. You giggled into the kiss, allowing him to cage you in just for a moment before you pushed at his chest. Felix pulled away and looked at you wildly, his cheeks and ears still bright red from when you flustered him.
You held eye contact with him as you wiped your lips with the back of your hand, giving him a wink as you did so. Felix's face was shocked for a moment, but then he smiled. Fuck, you forgot about how much he was on Tiktok too.
"Did you try to prank me? Why don't I make you regret ever wiping my kisses off, then?"
Seungmin:
Today was one of those rare days that you had off from work. It was a small blessing after a hectic week of project reports and visits from your higher ups, and you were thankful to have some time to recooperate. Unfortunately, Seungmin was still working and you wouldn't see him until the evening.
Luckily he forgot to pack lunch today, so you had the perfect excuse to cook him something he liked and visit him at work.
When you knocked on the door to the practice room all he and his members were in, they had all just finished a dance practice. Seungmin couldn't help the goofy smile that took over his face when he saw you, which made you laugh. The boys teased him for a moment as they gathered their things, greeting you kindly when they filed out the door.
"How was practice?" You asked once everyone had left. Seungmin groaned dramatically and flopped onto the small couch near the door. You laughed and maneuvered him so you had some room to sit too. "That bad?"
"'S fine, just hardddd... my body hurts..." He whined, throwing an arm over his eyes. You hummed and patted his tummy, which made him groan again.
"I'm sorry you're hurting, love. Do you want some food?" Your question had him interested, so he removed his arm from over his eyes and looked at you.
"You brought me food?" He asked. You were almost offended at how surprised he looked.
"Duh, you forgot to pack anything this morning. I wasn't gonna let my baby starve!" Your words were teasing, but genuine, and you watched joyfully as Seungmin's cheeks got all rosy. He sat up and scooted towards you, wrapping you up in a hug and pressing a soft kiss to your lips.
It would've been a nice gesture if he wasn't so sweaty.
"Ah! You're getting me all gross with your sweat!" You cried, cringing at the hug and shying away from the kiss. Once he let you go, you immediately began wiping at your lips and trying to rid yourself of any residual boyfriend sweat.
"Oh yeah? You're gonna be like that? Wiping off my kisses?" Seungmin asked, giving you a challenging look. Without a second thought, you attempted to jump up and run away, only to be caught around the waist.
"Wait! I won't wipe them off again! Seungmin!"
I.N:
You considered messing with Jeongin to be a sort of art form, to say the least. He was clever, but he could also be gullible. That made pranks a 50/50 shot with him, either he figured you out immediately or he would fall for it hook, line, and sinker.
Today, you had devised a fool-proof plan to make sure that he would let you have your fun.
Couple pranks were something you had been wanting to try for a while. You didn't want to film them or post them or anything, you just purely liked a good, light-hearted prank and your boyfriend was a decent victim. There was one that had caught your attention back before you had started dating Jeongin, and it seemed like one he was unlikely to catch onto. Until you told him about it, at least.
It all started when you came back from grabbing groceries at the store. Errands were no fun to do alone, but since it was hard to go out in public together with Jeongin, you usually had no choice. It was all better when you got back home, though.
Jeongin had the weekend free from schedules, which was pretty uncommon. It also meant he was there to greet you when you came home instead of you waiting for him. He was sitting in the kitchen doing work on his computer when you came through the door.
A smile immediately broke out across his face when he saw you, his dimples greeting you just as eagerly. "Hi, babe. Need some help?" It wasn't really even a question he needed to ask, because he was already getting up to grab the bag from you before you could answer.
You smiled at him lovingly and set down the second bag. Jeongin set down the one he took beside it, and when you turned towards him, he captured your lips in a gentle kiss. You sighed into the kiss and cupped his cheek, drawing him in closer.
“Hi…” You whispered when you pulled away, still feeling those classic butterflies when you looked into his bright eyes. Jeongin giggled and leaned to kiss you again, just a peck this time, before he turned to start putting the groceries away.
“Was the store okay? I heard-,” Whatever he was gonna say next died on his tongue as he turned and looked to see you wipe your mouth on the back of your hand. “Did… did you just wipe my kiss away?”
You couldn’t help but break out into laughter at his words and the look of pure confusion on his face. He didn’t look remotely offended, just confused.
“I’m sorry baby, it was just a prank!”
“Too bad, I’m never kissing you again.”
“Nooo!! I promise to never wipe off another one!”

I’m gonna be so fucking real with y’all rn.
So I’ve more or less been casually keeping up with Hazbin Hotel since the pilot days. I did some fanart at some point and did a cosplay once, but I currently do not consider myself part of the fandom (certainly not the hatedom bc y’all are kinda ridiculous). But anyway I’ve seen a lot of the criticisms for the show and have seen the episodes (I’ve also seen all the Helluva Boss episodes and this all applies to that show as well). And while I have a handful of criticisms of my own, none of them involve the amount of cursing in it???
Because like…
I do NOT understand why everyone gets so pissy about the cursing. Like maybe it’s because I’m a homestuck fan and that comic curses more than both Hazbin and Helluva probably ever will combined and I see nothing wrong with it? Like cursing isn’t the punchline like some of y’all seem to think it is. That’s just how some people talk and for the LIFE of me I do not see why people are clutching their pearls about it. Like is there some social standard about swearing that I missed? I know some people prefer to not curse and that’s fine and up to personal preference. But like… Growing up on the internet in the 2010’s alone got me so desensitized to profanity that I literally could not care less when someone drops the fuck word.
I curse like a sailor, most of my friends curse like sailors, and even my super religious mom curses like a sailor sometimes. So every time I hear someone complain about it I’m just like… okay??? Get over it??? I understand that there’s a time and a place for the use of certain kinds of language, but you’d think that an adult show targeted for adults about a place where everyone’s an asshole is an appropriate instance for swearing to be allowed.
Sorry if that comes off as harsh or insensitive for some reason. It just really baffles me and I am so genuinely confused about it all. This isn’t even an "oH tHeY’Re iN heLL" thing either. I just don’t understand and low key feel like I’m either going crazy or just really missing something here.

I’m sure you could pt. 2
Masterlist
Part 1
Pairings:Natasha romanoff x reader
Prompt: y/n goes with nat as she navigates her way around the red room. (based off of black widow)
Warnings: violence, blood/injuries, trauma probably, red room stuff, swearing. Lmk if I missed any.
A/N: here’s part two!
Here’s the two people that wanted to be tagged in this individually. I can add y’all to the Taglist if you want!!! @alexvausesgirl @rosea-reginae
Tumblr media
Y/n’s pov
We’re standing in the streets of Budapest as I look at Natasha for what to do next.
This poor girl just had a “self destruct” mode on her. Like she was an object.
As I watched the life leave her eyes I see a flicker of red. I zone out thinking of what it could be but Nat pulls me with her to get out of there.
Natasha takes me to a messed up apartment looking building and we go up to one of the rooms. Before she goes it she gets a hidden key and whispers in my ear
“Stay here. Whatever you do, do not go inside until I call you okay?”
I nod my head and she hands me a gun to protect myself. I stand against the wall and wait.
As expected they get into a fight, but I really want to go in there. I know Natasha is fully capable of handling Yelena but I’m nervous.
From what I can hear, she’s holding back. If she really wanted to, she’d have snapped her neck in five seconds. But Yelena is her sister. Of course she wouldn’t want that.
It gets quiet and I worry. A lot. But i listen to nat and stay put.
Suddenly Yelena says
“Who’s with you?”
Nat says
“My wife. Y/n you’re okay to come here”
I walk in with the gun still in my hand and I give it to Natasha.
They start talking and I stay quiet.
“You brought it back here?”
“I’m not here trying to be your friend but you need to tell me what that is”
I almost butt in because of how Natasha is talking to her sister. She needs to stop being an asshat.
Then Yelena explains what it is in a bunch of words that are way too big for me.
What I’ve caught is that it’s a gas. And Natasha says
“Maybe in English next time?”
Then Yelena speaks in Russian because she’s petty but I don’t quite understand a bunch of Russian. I know the simple terms. And a few other pet names that Natasha had given me over the years. But not much more.
It’s not like it matters to me anyways.
They banter more back and forth and Natasha starts changing.
She takes off her shirt to show her fresh bruises from her fall off the bridge earlier.
I walk up to her silently and kiss one of them on her shoulder.
I can feel yelenas eyes on us but it fine.
They talk more and then suddenly Yelena brings up the red room.
I thought nat brought down the red room. And she says the same thing. But apparently not.
I look down and realize that it’s been years since she thought she took it down and that there’s probably millions of girls who have gone through the same thing since.
Suddenly we get ambushed and Natasha and Yelena all fit with me onto a motorcycle. Don’t ask me how they did it though. Then we switch into a car. Thank god I was about to fall off.
We barely get away and we are hiding in some vents.
I look over and find some games of tic tac toe and scratches. I trace my fingers along the n and c that were left there.
Goosebumps litter across my skin as I realize she’s been here before. She’s run from people in this exact spot before.
Honestly I haven’t said a word this whole time. So while nat is explaining that she and Clint hid out here for a few days, I grab her hand softly.
I rest my shoulder on hers and she is unbothered. She understands that I need some comfort right now.
We get on the move and end up in a random town late at night. They get drinks and I get a water because I’m dehydrated. They have some banter and Natasha gets up to go get another drink.
Yelena addresses me by my full name probably to intimidate me.
“So. Y/n Romanoff.”
I look up and wait for her to say what she wants to
“You’re my sisters wife.”
I nod my head and she continues
“Which makes us sisters in law”
I once again nod my head. And she asks more questions.
“Do you not speak?”
I shake my head and say
“I can speak. I just haven’t had anything to say”
She nods her head and Natasha sits down and she asks more questions.
“Do you have kids?”
I shake my head and say
“No. I don’t know if we will.”
Natasha agrees and asks the same.
“Do you want kids yel?”
Instead of answering outright she says
“I want a dog”
I nod my head and say
“You’re not into relationships like that are you?”
She shakes her head.
“I don’t know what I am. But I’ve been trying to do some research”
I look her up and down. I knew my gaydar was pinging.
“Aromantic or asexual maybe?”
She nods her head and says
“Something of that nature. I haven’t figured it out yet. But I’m leaning towards that.”
I nod my head and say
“You’ve got lots of time to figure it out. Don’t worry. I’ll support you the whole way.”
She nods her head and looks at her arm. Natasha takes charge and says
“Here. Let me wrap this.”
Yelena hesitates but nods her head and I say
“I’m gonna go to the restroom”
They nod and I leave so that they can talk by themselves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nobody’s pov
As Natasha is pouring alcohol on yelenas injury she says
“Well. You’ve met my wife. What do you think?”
Yelena hums and says
“She seems sweet. She shouldn’t be here though. she doesn’t know what we’re dealing with here”
Natasha nods her head
“I tried to send her home. But she’s hard headed like you. So she insisted. I still tried to send her away but the look she gave me was not one I mess around with.”
Yelena laughs and says
“The infamous black widow, who can kill a man in five seconds, is scared of a girl who looks like she couldn’t hurt a fly”
Natasha has a chuckle too and says
“Don’t be fooled. She’s nice. But she’s crazy. One time Tony pinched me a bit too hard and I reacted and she punched him in the face. She broke his nose”
Yelena laughs at this and says
“Wow. Remind me not to get on her bad side.”
Natasha and Yelena wrap it up as y/n comes back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/n’s pov
I come back and sit down.
They go back to talking and I rest my head on Natasha’s shoulder and fall asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up with Natasha shaking my arm. I’m in a whole different place now. Apparently nat decided to just carry me to our sleeping place. And we get up and I follow them out to find mason standing next to a rinky dink helicopter.
We hop on and I just follow their orders. Apparently we’re breaking their father not really father out of jail.
Yelena stays in the helicopter as Natasha goes down. This is so cool.
A bunch of things happen in a flash and now we’re sitting in the helicopter talking about fallopian tubes.
Like we legit almost died from an avalanche and now they’re bickering.
I am staring at this guy. His name is Alexie. He’s big.
He stands up and says
“Who are you?”
I stand up and get up to him to show at least I’m not scared as Natasha gets a bit worried.
She’s scared someone is going to hurt someone. But I say
“I. Mr Alexie. Am your daughter’s wife”
He furrows his eyebrows and says
“Yelena? You are married?”
Yelena rolls her eyes and before she can say anything I butt in and say
“No dipshit. I’m married to Natasha. My name is Y/n Romanoff.”
I kind of shuck the whole bad girl persona and hold out my hand.
He brushes it aside and ignores it. But Natasha doesn’t stand for any kind of disrespect especially towards her wife so she says
“Ah. No. She held her hand out to shake. You shake her hand”
He rolls his eyes like a kid but finally shakes my hand back.
I wipe my hand off afterwards and we start heading to somewhere else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The helicopter runs out of gas and we start walking the rest of the way.
I trail behind while the rest of them bicker until we get to Melina’s.
She has pigs. It reminds me of my childhood. When I used to have pigs. My dad would love this.
I remember when my dad brought me to the barn and pointed at the pig that was mine. He handed me some marshmallows and helped me hold out my hand. The way that the pig ate them made me so happy.
Another thing about pigs is they’re very warm and cuddly so if they’re asleep they make great pillows. Like baymax from big hero 6.
(A/N: I used to show pigs in livestock shows and I would sleep on them and feed them marshmallows. So comfy and warm)
We end up awkwardly sitting at a dinner table while Melina sits back down with her iPad.
Apparently this fake family has some serious trauma that they need to work out.
She calls in a pig
“Good boy Alexie”
“You named a pig after me?”
“You don’t see the resemblance?”
I snort a bit at that quip. It was funny.
Then she says
“Alexie stop breathing”
She slides her finger across the iPad screen and the pigs breath hitches.
My eyes widen and I rest my hand on nats thigh.
She starts talking but I’m too busy watching alexie the pig hold his breath to listen.
My eyes tear up a bit and nat finally says
“What are you doing?”
The pig falls over as Melina continues to fucking yap and I squeeze nats thigh tighter.
Melina keeps talking until I accidentally let out a whimper of fear for this pig. So Nat cuts her off.
“I think you’ve proven your point”
She finally lets him breathe and sends him out and I look at her like she’s crazy.
They end up talking a lot more but I can’t seem to snap out of the fact that the reason that girl from earlier died was because of this stuff. They controlled her. She couldn’t do anything about it.
This pig had the same glint in its eye when commanded to do something. Just like the girl. I can’t stand it anymore so I excuse myself to the restroom and go in there to calm down.
I close the door and try to calm down my breathing.
Maybe I’m not cut out for this. God I should have listened to Natasha when she told me to go home. I just wanted to make sure she was safe.
I finally calm myself down at least a little bit and I step out of the bathroom but I freeze when I hear Yelena get choked up
“Don’t say that please don’t say that. You were my family-”
I can’t even hold myself together anymore so I go back into the bathroom like I never left.
I hear Yelena storm off into a different room and footsteps I can only assume are Alexies follow behind.
I have to calm myself all over again and I just sit in the bathroom for a little while.
Natasha’s pov
Yelena just stormed off with Alexie on her tail and im staring at Melina with such anger right now.
“You know you did this to us? You could have done the right thing and helped us when we were girls. But you didn’t.”
“It was my job”
“Your job was to give two little girls hope for a life? And then just take it all away? That’s not a job. A job is something you go to an office for. Where you type on a computer all day. Not ruin innocent lives. And what’s more. You scared my wife.”
Melina scoffs and says
“It was a pig holding its breath”
“You know it was so much more than that. You know that pig created a hell for Yelena and so many other girls. She was set free by chance. And it is my job now to set them free by choice. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to make sure my wife is okay”
I get up and walk to the bathroom door and knock on it.
“Y/n? Detka? It’s me, please let me in.”
No answer.
Melina walks up to me and says
“She might need some space.”
I nod my head and go to the living room and pick up an old picture book.
“She shouldn’t be here you know?
I look up from the pictures and say
“I know. I tried to get her to go home but she wouldn’t budge. She’s smart. She knows what she can handle and what she can’t. But I just hope she knows the gravity of what we’re dealing with.”
“I’m sure she does. She loves you. You know that? It takes a lot of effort to love someone that much.”
I smile and say
“And yet that kind of love flows so freely from her.”
I look back down at the photo album and flip a page. I reminisce about a fake Christmas we had. It was so fun.
Melina takes a small step back and looks down. Then the bathroom door opens and I step away from her to check up on y/n.
Y/n’s pov
After a while in the bathroom Nat knocks on the door. I hear her but I just don’t have it in me to answer. I feel like I’ll break down if I do.
I stay in the bathroom for a little longer and I finally get up and stand in front of the mirror.
I give myself a silent pep talk and splash my face with water. And then I dry it and open the door.
Nat is next to me in an instant asking
“Are you alright?”
I look down and just hug her tight. I squeeze my eyes shut and just hold onto her tightly.
I know Melina is watching us but I don’t care. She can stare all she wants I need this.
I thread my fingers through her hair and grip it tight. Then I tuck my face into her neck.
“I know. I know detka. I’m right here for you. I’m sorry”
I shake my head softly and then pull away.
“Don’t apologize”
We stay silent for a few seconds and I take this time to really admire her. Really take her beauty in.
Melina has gone by now.
I move some hair out of her face and say
“You’re beautiful you know that”
She smiles shyly and I say
“Talia?”
She looks at me knowing I only use that name when I’m deeply concerned or really want her attention.
“I love you. You know that right?”
Nat nods her head and I say
“Good. Because you need to know it. I love you from the bottom of my heart”
Nat smiles with a guilty face and says
“I still dont think you should go.”
I close my eyes softly in defeat and say
“If you really do not want me to go with you. Then I will respect your wishes. I can surely stay here in this house and care for the animals while you’re gone.”
Nat smiles at me and says
“I thought you’d say no.”
I send her a watery smile and say
“I could never say no to you. But if I stay you have to promise me…”
I get a bit choked up and she says
“Promise you what?”
I let a tear slip and say
“Promise me that you’ll be safe. And you’ll come home to me”
“I always do”
I shake my head and say
“I know you always do. But that reassurance is not enough this time please promise me”
She looks down and says
“I know how you feel about promises. Your father always broke promises so now you never ever make a promise you can’t keep. And I cannot imagine a world where I do not come home to you. But I cannot make a promise that I cannot guarantee I’ll be keeping.”
A few more tears slip out of my eyes and I shake my head at her and say
“Damn you Romanoff.”
She lets a tear fall too and says
“I can however promise you this. I promise, that I will be the safest I can be. I will never stop trying to come home to you. And I will use every ounce of energy I have in my body if it means I get to come home to you even one more time”
My lip quivers a bit and I nod my head but before I can say anything she continues
“I need you to know that I won’t let go. Not now. Not ever. Because it always has and always will be you at the end of the day. So if I have to expend every fiber of my being just to see you one more time so be it.”
I start full on crying now. She is saying part of her vows. She holds me close and says the rest in my ear.
“And lastly I vow that when death does decide to take my hand, I will hold you with my other.”
I nod my head and hold her again. It takes a while for me to compose myself again and I pull away from her.
I push her shoulder and say
“You made me cry god damnit!”
Then I laugh a little and she says
“It was not my intention. I just wanted you to remember how much I love you”
I smile and nod my head then I whisper
“I love you too”
Then I start giggling and Nat asks
“What’s the matter?”
I smile and say
“Mine doesn’t sound as good since you had to go and say that stuff”
She giggles with me too and says
“Yours sounds like music to my ears. It fills me just as much”
She kisses me and says
“I’m gonna go try and find Melina okay?”
I nod my head.
“I’m gonna go find Yelena and see if she’s okay”
Nat nods her head and walks off and I go in the direction I thought she went.
Natasha’s pov
I watch y/n leave and turn around and see Melina.
I go to her and see how she has a tear running down her face.
“Tell me, how did you keep your heart?”
I don’t know how to respond to that so I think and say
“Pain only makes us stronger. Didn’t you tell us that?”
I sigh and say
“What you taught me kept me alive”
She takes that in and then says
“I’m sorry I already alerted the Red Room. They’ll be here any minute”
I look at her with wide eyes and then turn my head down. My tears fall freely now. And I nod my head knowing I’m going there now.
Y/n’s pov
I get to the door where I hear Alexie and her talking when suddenly a bright blue light flashes and damn near blinds me.
It gets loud as if helicopters or planes are flying around the house and I open the door slightly and see Yelena. She shakes her head to signal that I shouldn’t go in there.
I nod my head and look down to see Alexie on the ground with about fifteen darts in his chest. That explains the thud.
She opens the door fully and walks in gun at the ready so she can make sure it’s clear.
Then she whispers
“Stay close. And stay hidden.”
I nod my head and follow her slightly. I follow behind her in the hallway as she checks to see if it is clear.
She looks down and I follow her eye sight and I see Nat unconscious on the floor. I almost gasp but someone might be here so I pull back and hide around the corner.
I cover my mouth so I don’t say anything as Yelena investigates further.
All I can do is listen so I try to use my hearing as best I can.
I hear her take a few steps and then stop and then someone else’s footsteps come from the other direction.
They speak and say
“I’m sorry”
It’s Melina. She shoots Yelena with a widows bite and Yelena falls back to where I can see her.
I am frozen in fear but I just pray that she doesn’t think I’m in this spot.
But I’m never that lucky am I?
Even before she steps to me she says
“And as for you…”
She turns the corner and says
“You really didn’t expect me to leave you here? I’m not that stupid.”
She holds up her arm to shoot me with another bite and I say
“Wait! You don’t have to do this Melina.”
She squints at me and I continue
“You can do what you should have done all those years ago. You can let us go. You can save us”
She tilts her head and says
“It is too late for that now.”
I close my eyes knowing there’s no way out of this and she shoots.
The pain that courses through me before I pass out is horrible.
If this is even a fraction of what that girl back in Budapest felt I can’t even imagine what she actually went through.
Then everything turns black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up in a weird hospital room. I try to get up but I’m tied to the table and I look around and see Yelena being drawn on by someone. She says
“This is a much less cool way to die”
I lay back and give up on my attempts to escape.
The “doctor” starts whirring a device I can only assume is to cut our fucking heads open or something.
Then suddenly. Yelena says
“What?”
I look at her and so do the doctors.
They approach her so I try to distract them
“What are you going to do to us?”
And they go back to their work. I let out a sigh of slight relief.
I look across the room to see Yelena being approached by these doctors again and she is reaching for something. I see her grab a knife.
God I hope this works
I just sit there and watch her go into action. She immediately cuts the closest doctor and starts fighting the rest.
She got stuck with a needle but she just pulls it out unfazed and goes and cuts me out of the straps and I thank her and follow her.
She grabs her vest and says
“You couldn’t have told me sooner?”
I look at Yelena and say
“What’s happening?”
“Melina is on comms with me. I’ve got you”
I nod my head and follow her as she continues to talk to the earpiece.
Then after she wipes the marker off her forehead and looks in a hallway she says
“Yeah sure. Easy”
I follow her eyesight up to the air vents and says
“Vents? Again?”
She smiles at my comment and we get in and I struggle and say
“What is it with you guys and air vents?”
We keep moving until we get to another place and Yelena opens the vent and drops down like Nat always does.
Then she shivers and says
“That was disgusting”
I giggle and drop down in the same way and say
“Hmm. I felt kind of cool”
Yelena smirks and says
“Great. My poser sister married a poser wife”
I smile and we continue on our way.
She goes to the wall and I nod towards the guy and say
“Let me”
She hesitantly nods her head knowing if anything goes wrong she can step in. But I handle it perfectly by using a move Natasha taught me.
He’s out and she drags him to scan his hand to let us past.
We step into a room that has security cameras and I see Dreykov slap Natasha.
That bastard. I’ll kill him.
But I tilt my head when Natasha has a cocky demeanor.
She’s playing a game.
He doesn’t know it. But I do. And when she plays games. She wins.
He slaps her again and she keeps talking but the cams don’t have volume so I dont know what they’re saying.
Yelena pulls me away from the screens to continue on our way.
We go and find the red vials that are an antidote to the chemical subjugation.
Not a good enough reason to use those big words if you ask me.
Yelena speaks to Melina and says
“Melina I’ve found the location of the vials”
And she relays the information to me
“Melina said that she’s had a slight setback and we will need to get to the widows.”
I nod my head and we move on.
We start running to wherever they are and then she says
“Fantastic I’m headed to the widows now”
I look at her and she said
“Melina just blew up one of the engines. We’re crashing. But it’s controlled.”
I nod my head
She opens the door to get to the widows and they’re all gone.
“No”
“Where are they?”
“Dreykov called the widows. He’s in trouble.”
I look at her and say
“That means that Nat got to him yes?”
She nods and says
“Which also means we need to get to them faster because if we don’t all of those widows are going to kill her”
Yelena grabs a bomb and wraps the vials around it.
I widen my eyes and we bolt.
We get there after a shit ton of turns and each of the widows are having their turn on my wife.
Yelena pulls the pin and throws the bomb in the air as Natasha never stops fighting.
I am frozen as I can only watch what is unfolding.
The widows come to and Natasha is on her knees knowing she is safe now.
I run to her as the girls are waking up from whatever chemicals had them controlled.
There is something in Nat’s shoulder and Yelena comes once and pulls us away.
Nat pats her shoulder and Yelena says
“That looks like it hurts. Okay I take it out on three ready?”
Nat nods her head and Yelena just rips it out with no warning and nat grunts really loud.
“I’m sorry”
I close my eyes a bit and just hold onto Nat’s hand.
This one girl speaks in a different language and I just look at them all. And nat responds.
“Get as far away from here as possible. You get to make your own choices now”
Then an explosion goes off and we are kind of lulled back into reality. Natasha speaks
“We gotta get out of here”
Yelena says
“Are you coming?”
“Yeah I’m right behind you”
I stay with Nat as she goes to Dreykov’s desk and does some tech stuff. I look at her and she says
“You need to go with them”
I shake my head as she logs in with his ring and I say
“Absolutely not. I can’t leave you again.”
She shakes her head and lets me stay.
I watch the screen as thousands of pictures of girls flow into a drive for Natasha to take.
Then I look over and she has to break her nose back into place and I say
“Shit. Are you okay?”
She nods and says
“I’ve been worse.”
Then the drive is finished and she pulls it out and grabs some leftover vials and says
“Let’s go! This thing is going down and it’s going down fast!”
We have to jump out of the window and I grab onto her as she grabs a wire. She points to Melina and Alexie getting into a jet.
“Go!”
I look at her and say
“I love you”
She stops for a second and says
“I love you too. So much”
I nod and then I run to the jet while Natasha finishes her business.
I get to the jet and it immediately falls and is going through an explosion.
Melina says
“We need to go back”
Then a soldier lands on the windshield and Alexie throws something at it.
I am being thrown around in here and Melina says
“We’ve lost control!”
I sigh and shake my head.
I’m going to die.
We crash and everything goes black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up and everything is hazy. I look around and see shrapnel falling from the sky but I don’t care. All I am looking for is Natasha. I look for any signs. And then suddenly I see something flailing around.
It’s not a something.
It’s Natasha.
And the taskmaster fighting in the fucking air.
I scream
“Nat!”
But it’s no use. It’s not like she can hear me anyways.
They land on the ground and somehow don’t fucking die.
Damn what kind of a movie am I fucking living in
I go to get up but my leg is killing me. I didn’t even notice until just now.
I look at my leg and see my ankle is broken.
I groan and all I can do is watch them fight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I watch as everything unfolds.
The Red Room crashed into the ground.
Natasha ran to Yelena.
The family all came together and all I can do is watch.
I watch Natasha and I wonder if she has even thought of me yet.
I can’t hear her but suddenly they all start looking around.
Natasha looks frantic as she starts yelling.
She’s yelling my name.
Thank god
I try to get up and I use a chunk of Red Room that’s next to me to stand up but when I go to take a step the pain is excruciating and I scream out
“Gahh!!”
This alerts Melina and she points to where I fall over.
Natasha runs to me and cradles me in her arms.
I look up at her and say
“I was beginning to think you forgot about me”
I laugh softly and Natasha smiles at my inability to be serious.
She leans down and says
“I’d never forget about you.”
I tear up and say
“You did it.”
She sniffles and shakes her head
“No. No we did it.”
I nod my head
“Nat?”
She looks at me and I look at her and we both know what I want.
So she leans in ever so softly and kisses me.
This kiss is different. It feels like the one we shared on our wedding day. The one we shared when we proposed. It’s a big moment kind of kiss.
But it also is different to all of those memories. It’s like a reunion. Like on a romance movie when the lovers get separated and come together again.
When I pull away I look into her eyes and say
“We need to go.”
She nods her head and says
“Come. Let me help you”
She picks me up and I roll my eyes.
“I could walk if I tried”
She rolls her eyes and laughs softly knowing this game and says
“I’m sure you could.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: oh my lord this took fucking forever. Im not gonna lie I actually thought I would decompose before I finished. It got to the point where I just pulled up the black widow movie and started writing shit down almost exactly how it played out 😭🤦‍♀️

(I’m right here babes!!!)
MANAGER HAS MATCHING HOODIES WITH THE TEAM 🗣️🗣️🗣️
They have lots of matching things actually, matching shoes, jewelry, pajama sets, mostly the managers doing. Like there’s so many pictures of them walking around with matching tops and bottoms on cuz you better believe she’s like “Y’all match with me today or i’m gonna start a war.” (I mean they were gonna do it regardless)
Something also tells me that the manager is secretly good at basketball and just doesn’t tell anybody 🫣 Idk she strikes me as one of those people who’s like “you don’t know a lot about me.” like okay mysterion
Manager learned Croatian for Nika and I will take NO OBJECTIONS. They’re always talking shit and cussing each other out in Croatian as well, and sometimes the camera picks it up and people try to make out what they say on the court.
But like imagine when the manager first spoke it to Nika and told her why she was learning it, I swear my heart would melt. Manager is just so considerate and what’s to make her girls comfortable and started learning it thinking that it would make Nika feel a bit more at home 🥺 Hold on I’m gonna sob in a corner real quick
Manager has tea about staff members (mainly previous ones) and spills it with them team 100%. Any drama that happened within the staffing the girls know about.
I can imagine how those conversations start
“I wonder what happened to (staff member)” and the manager is just like “girlllll…”
“Tell us, SPILL IT NEOW🗣️🗣️”
The shit talking between the team is so fucking funny
Manager ranting about a previous co worker and the team is just eating that shit up.
“Talking like my outfits affect my work ethic, NEWS FLASH BITCH! If it was such an issue the other staff above me would’ve said something years ago when I first started. I’ve been here bitch.”
(Random but I feel like Paige is one of those people where, if the manager is telling a story, and she told Paige already, Paige it doing commentary the whole time manager is telling the story to the others.
Manger: She’s constantly eying me up and down everytime she sees me. Like the other day she went “You are just all sorts of unprofessional.” like bitch???
Paige: Now Mind you!!! This bitch is worried about what the manager is doing, YET she just started her position and is already talking shit about her SUPERIOR, who has been here for years.” )
Sometimes the manager doesn’t tell the girls outright who it is if the staff member is still there, but they’ll figure it out quickly.
-🐹
BABYYYYYYY I MISSED U AND UR RAMBLESSSSSS HELLOOOOOO!!!!!!
oh my gosh, and matching rings!!!!!!! idk why i've been obsessed with the thought of the entire team being dripped tf out but i feel like they'd also have big ass matching rings
lowkey... because her sister is rly good at basketball and she def taught her some tricks so she'd definitely have some skill yk, and everyones like "WHATTT, what can't y/n do?????" (literally nothing she's barbie)
the whole croatian thing is SO REAL BECAUSE YES!!!! she's not quite fluent but she's almost there bc nika teaches her sm, and the shit talking thing is so real
i feel like they do most of their shit talking on the bus, but they do it quietly cus they don't want geno to hear but like.... he does (he just honestly doesn't gaf) and she's spilling everything
oh and kk and paige are very active listeners, the head nodding and the gasping pls like "SHE DID WHAT??"

Okay,like a couple minutes ago I learned that it is actually trans day of visibility today soo woohoo! Kind of hard to celebrate in this shithole called the UK though, so I’m going to hide on tumblr and talk about which characters I think are trans coded or just Headcanon as trans because it’s my day I can do that now heheheh-
Also, I’m just tryna do a little thing for trans visibility day, I like being opaque, I ain’t trying to start any arguments, if you see a Headcanon you disagree with, just scroll. And if you think I’m biased towards transfem characters, it’s because I am and I ain’t apologising for that, they’re underrated in terms of fandom and obvs I’m transfem so I love them and relate to them more. Transmasc characters still will be on this list though as there’s so many that I love.
Characters That I Think Are Transgender Because Fuck You
Number one: Hunter Noceda (The Owl House)
Tumblr media
This was probably the easiest and hardest pick for the list, for a couple reasons. Number one, I don’t think there’s a single person who agreed this pathetic wet cat is cisgender. Whether you think he’s transmasc, transfem, something else entirely, he ain’t cis. It’s clear why the fandom clung to Hunter as the resident trans character, him having a secret identity via The Golden Guard (seriously, any character with a secret identity is immediately trans, I don’t make the rules), the overconfident attitude mixed with deep insecurity and his arc about finding a way to ‘like who he is right now’ in Thanks To Them really just sealed the deal. Other little details like how his hair cuts helped him find his new identity did not help his case.
While I personally think he’s transfem, and am just using he/him because that’s his canon pronouns, Hunter is one of those characters that a lot of people can identify with which is what The Owl House is really about so I kinda had to include him on this list. The reason it was a hard decision is because holy fuck, every single character in this show is trans. Deciding between him and Amity was the hardest choice of my life because transfem Amity is heavily underrated and I love her, but you really can’t compete with Hunter, he’s had an amazing influence on the fandom and the character has probably helped a lot of people come to terms with their identity.
To summarise, Hunter is a great character, I miss him everyday, I miss The Owl House everyday, he was cool as fuck and a lotta people identified with him.
Anne Boonchuy (Amphibia)
Tumblr media
This is one that I feel is heavily underrated, and that’s coming from someone that took two years after the show ended to watch Amphibia. With Amphibia, pretty much all of the human characters are Headcanonned (is that a word?) as some part of the trans umbrella but Anne is the one who does not get enough attention, especially for a main character.
At least to me, Anne was very transfem-coded in the show, everything from her raggedy appearance, to her essentially assuming a new life in Amphibia to the arc about accepting who you are to THE SONG ABOUT ACCEPTING WHO YOU ARE-this was the most in your face, trans-coded rep I could ever ask for. But she is criminally underrated in terms of being viewed as trans rep even though I’ve found her story one of the most compelling in terms of trans coded storylines in nearly any piece of media I’ve ever seen. Give Anne more attention, she’s literally the best. Marcy and Sasha are cool too but Anne’s writing deserves so much more praise than it gets.
Tumblr media
Dipper Pines (Gravity Falls)
If you haven’t realised it yet, this entire list so far is just one massive fuck you to Disney because fuck Disney. Dipper was the closest we got to having a canon trans main character in a mainstream animated show and it was taken from us, fuck Disney y’all. But still, Alex has all but confirmed Dipper’s identity as trans masculine, you can see remnants of that arc with him learning that he’s a man in his own right and masculinity being something he can define for himself, the whole thing about Dipper actually being a nickname, and him bonding with the men in his life, like Stan.
Even though I didn’t notice it when I was a kid watching the show, rewatching it now with the knowledge of Dipper’s identity makes the experience a bit more personal, I can see bits of myself in Dipper and I think that’s the whole point of his character. Watching it as a kid you can relate to him because of his sarcasm, his bluntness, his comedy but also because of how heroic, adventurous and curious he is, he’s basically the idealistic role of the viewer. But as you get older and think more critically about him, you can see more of his flaws and that makes him so much more real and so much more relatable. Obviously being trans isn’t a flaw, that was just me doing a side tangent because Dipper means the world to me and is only the standard of writing a cartoon protagonist in some ways, I just think he’s a really cool character and Disney robbed us.
Also Pacifica is transfem because TfT couples are hecking adorable
Tumblr media
Sallie May (Helluva Boss)
Guess who just realised that (other than Dipper technically) I haven’t put a single canon trans character on this list. Headcanons are better, I don’t make the rules, but Sallie May is amazing. No matter how critical you are of Helluva Boss, one thing it unapologetically does well is queer representation. The amount of characters that the audience can relate to makes it almost addicting to watch as you get to watch these characters live their best lives. Well, their lives are kinda fucked but you get what I mean, they just get to live as queer people, most of the time.
And Sallie May is proof that trans people will eat up absolutely anything, even if it’s a whole thirty seconds of screen time of a trans character. Being fair to her, Sallie May eats up every moment she gets on screen, her dialogue can be equivocated to just a middle child acting like a middle child and I think it is partly that, I feel like we have a lot more to learn about Sallie May and in turn her sister Millie. At least I hope we do, Millie’s writing needs to improve, their family dynamics can be so interesting because every other one of their siblings is a boy, their parents can be judgemental, I feel like even if Sallie May can be a bit taunting to her, those two are probably really close, especially since Millie is one of the people Sallie May would have to go to for girl advice.
To summarise, since I went off on a bit of a tangent, Helluva Boss brings out the worst in me, give Sallie May and Millie more screen time, they’re the best, we love healthy sibling dynamics.
Tumblr media
Double Trouble (She-Ra)
Jesus, they’re hot. Anyway, the first non binary entry on this list, the fabulous Double Trouble who stole the entire show from the moment they were introduced. Throughout the entirety of the last season, I can remember just waiting for the point that they’d show up again and nearly screaming when they did.
Double Trouble was one of the most charming members of the She-Ra cast and became effortlessly iconic, conning every single character, playing both sides of a war so that they’d come out on top, and they did win in the end. DT basically had zero consequences and even got to flirt with Sea Hawk when they were reintroduced so they got a win really. Double Trouble was mean, condescending and a liar and I love them so, so much, them being a shapeshifter is just absolutely perfect and fits their character so well. It was nice to see Non-binary rep in a cartoon and have it not immediately be cancelled, looking at Disney and thank God it wasn’t because She-Ra really wouldn’t be the same without this manipulated, child of a bitch
Tumblr media
Crowley (Good Omens)
You know the gender’s hitting when you don’t even know what the fuck the gender is. Crowley is a delight of the character from the moment they’re introduced to the end of the show, which nearly broke my heart since I watched it just recently, if anybody would like to send me tissues, that would be greatly appreciated.
From my vast research of one google search, I’ve concluded that they’re gender is up to viewer interpretation which is actually what mine is too so I can respect that. This literal demon stole the show whenever they were on screen, whether it was David Tenant’s acting, the moments we saw softer sides of him, her pinning over Aziriphale of them just being an actual demon, Crowley is a wonderful piece of representation and I hate that because it makes me sad, let them get together, please.
Tumblr media
KFC
Not to be confused with that one place that makes pretty good chicken, I’m talking about the protagonists of two of the best RPGs ever made, Undertale and Deltarune.
For those unaware, KFC is the trio name of Frisk, Undertale’s protagonist, Chara, Undertale’s narrator and Kris, Deltarune’s narrator. Despite them being the main characters, they’re not characterised too strongly as you are in control of them for most of the game, minus Chara who specifically says you aren’t in control of them. Due to it being canon to the games that you are playing as these characters, the Internet started a rumour that they are whatever gender you want them to be, which was just never true. Undertale is packed with trans representation, and these three are no exception. It’s the whole reason I added them to the list actually, just to get the message across if anyone was unsure; they’re all Nonbinary.
Frisk and Kris, despite only having glimmers of their true characters in the game, are still very lovable and intriguing with their actions. Even just the idea of these two being controlled, which is more of a heavy theme in Deltarune, is enough to make you interested in their characters, especially when Kris starts fighting back against you. This entire section is just gonna be a couple paragraphs of me fighting back the urge to yap about Undertale lore so you’ll have to forgive me. Chara, being the only one not under your control, has a much stronger character through the lines of dialogue from them or said about them, the latter usually being more interesting as it gives you insight to their tragic life.
Undertale is one of my favourite and given the amount of rep it’s given us, I had to pay homage to its own main characters on this list. Even though I’m hungry cause now I’m thinking about KFC.
Tumblr media
Jake Peralta (Brooklyn Nine Nine)
I think it’s been a year since I finished tumblr’s favourite sitcom and while Jake was lovable, he didn’t stand out to me too much. Still, this guy suffered from that overconfidence but riddled with insecurity personality which lead to him being inevitably headcanonned (it’s a word I decided) as trans masculine. I don’t know what the correlation is between those kinds of characters and the transmasc headcanon, maybe it’s the desire to present as being that confident, maybe it’s being that confident but still held back by struggles about your gender identity but that’s neither here nor there.
What is here and is there is that this show was amazing for trans people, even if only in small ways and Jake was no exception to that. He was funny and watching him grow through those eight seasons gives you one of the most satisfying and heart throbbing conclusions to a TV show, largely due to his presence as the main character. Even though it’s not canon that he was trans masculine, the Headcanon is so popular that I had to pay homage to him and add him to the list.
Jack Kennedy (DSAF)
Is this fandom so dead and so unpopular that I couldn’t find a good gif? Yes. Am I gonna talk about it anyway because I love these games and I want an excuse and this is my day? Yes.
Anyway, Jack Kennedy was the main protagonist of the Day Shift at Freddy’s games and if you don’t know what those are, there’s a 50% chance you had an alright childhood. DSaF is obviously a fan game of the more well known horror franchise Five Nights at Freddy’s and I think they are some of the best fa games ever made. They’re hilarious, they’re so low budget it’s insane, it can give you the hardest tonal whiplash of not taking itself seriously to one of the hardest stories you’ve ever went through seamlessly and I don’t even get a fuck. The story told by these games is done so well and evokes so many emotions but one important thing it’s done is actually be really great for queer rep.
Despite it being played for more of a joke in the earlier games, the two characters Jack and Dave Millie clearly have romantic chemistry and that was so important back when the games released since they became so mainstream due to being attached to a popular franchise. Many fans headcanon Jack Kennedy as being non binary, which is a label that I think really works for them, mainly because it fits for the protagonists of roleplay games to be non binary. I can’t explain why, it just makes presenting the character to the audience so much easier and makes them a lot easier to play without having to worry too much about the gender of the character.
Anyway, Jack’s a self described asshole with a noble goal, and playing as them really gives you a feel of their character and makes you understand why this little known indie franchise snuck into so many people’s hearts.
Tumblr media
Bridget (Guilty Gear Rising)
You know I had to end off the list with one of the most iconic, canon, transfem characters out of there. Pretty much every single transfem has heard of Brisket and not a single one has played Guilty Gear Rising, I had to look up the name of this game just before this to make sure I got the right one.
Bridget has recently become a meme on the Internet, with every other transfem having her in her pfp, Bridget became a staple in the community. As stated, I can’t talk too much about her character but seeing the Internet come together to just appreciate this one transfem character, despite their being obvious hate and pushback and claiming her being canon transfem was a ‘mistranslation’ (to my knowledge) was actually really heart warming.
I didn’t really get trans day of visibility too much, I was happy for it, thought it was cool we got a day but it didn’t really help us all that much. But the more I thought about Bridget is the more that I saw just how good it can feel when people come together. It doesn’t have to be a movement or a call to action to save trans people from another bill trying to wipe them out, which is just depressing to listen to, it can just be as simple as joking about this character that barely any of us know. That level of community made me understand what this day was actually about; finding common ground and letting at least one other person know that they’re not alone, that there’s so many people just like you out there, that went through the exact same thing as you did at some point. And to let you know, those people turned out fine, so you’ll be okay too.
Happy trans day of viability everyone, even if this list only reaches one person to let them know they’re not alone, I’ll be happy with that.
Anyway, ignore the emotional stuff there, here’s my honourable mention of
Tumblr media
EVERY SINGLE SPIDERMAN, SPIDERWOMAN, SPIDERPERSON, TO EVER EXIST, THEY’RE ALL TRANS, YOU CAN’T CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
BELIEVE HIS SIDE OF THE STORY 92,3%
DISMISS HIM IMMEDIATELY 7,7%
416 votes
you chose:
BELIEVE HIS SIDE OF THE STORY
“do you want me to leave?”
he stares at you with the biggest eyes in the universe
how does someone just have big black eyes like that
like
the things he says
can be so dirty
and his gaze can be so intense
but now
when he’s
pleading
and being pathetic
his eyes are the biggest in the galaxy
he’s so beautiful
you wonder if he knows that
you sigh loudly and rub your hairline. “you’re so lucky you know your way with words.”
he blinks at you a few times and drops his shoulders in relief, you hadn’t even noticed they were that tense
“i’m just telling you the truth.”
you merely hum in response and nod your head absentmindedly as you glance over at the plate of cold chicken quesedillas now
“do you want me to heat those up in a pan for you?” you ask quietly, not sure where to go with the conversation now
when you don’t get a response, you glance in his direction
he’s just staring at you with an unreadable expression on his face
“jungkook?”
he shakes his head slowly. “do you believe me now?”
your brows pinch together in confusion. “yeah, i believe you. were you not telling the truth just now?”
he shakes his head again. “i’m not talking about just now i’m talking about me being in love with you.”
oh
right
yeah
you said you didn’t believe it
do you believe him?
your own feelings for him keep getting in the way of your rational thoughts
because you just want to believe him, even when your common sense still doubts it
“yeah,” you start, “i believe you.”
then, a soft smile creeps onto his lips. “okay.”
you reach for the plate but jungkook stops you by gently taking hold of your wrist mid-air. “i think you should just go lie down in bed. after what just happened, you just need a moment. i can tell you’re pretending to be okay.”
you blink at him
and the sincere look in his eyes
and the slight pinch in his brows
almost makes you tear up again
“i’ll clean the kitchen up, just,” he pauses as he lets go of your wrist, “go. i’ll be right there.”
you slowly nod your head and start walking out of your kitchen, heading to your bedroom
you lie down in your bed and stare at the ceiling, the events of barely 20 minutes ago playing on repeat in your head
taehyung
you miss him
you need him
you’re lucky jungkook was there to talk some sense into you
you should go to taehyung when the storm is over
and come clean with everything and just
beg for his forgiveness
and now that you think about it
you wonder
why it’s taking jungkook so long
??
you get up from your bed and slowly make your way to the kitchen
you peek your head around the corner of the door and that’s when you see
jungkook, standing by the sink
the mess taehyung made earlier on the floor has been cleaned up
and it seemed like jungkook was halfway through with the dishes
but now he’s just leaning against the sink with his hands and his head held down
what is he doing?
you wonder what it is until you hear a soft sniffle
you walk into the kitchen. “jungkook?”
he quickly sniffles again and wipes his cheeks before looking at you
you walk in further. “hey,” you whisper as you place your hand on his shoulder, soothingly rubbing it
he’s quiet for a few moments before he breaks down
“he’s my only friend and i betrayed his trust. you can bounce back because of your history with him but me? he’ll never want to see me again.”
oh
he sent you away because all of that panic that he had earlier concerning taehyung he couldn’t show
he had to swallow his own emotions because he had to calm you down
but it’s dawning on him real bad right now and you need to be here for him like he was there for you
you shake your head and move your hand over his back, rubbing it gently. “you’re crazy. he could never hate you, kook. like you said, he’s mad. it’s okay, we’ll catch him one of these days and talk it out. taehyung is the gentlest soul i know. he just needs some time to cool off.”
he sniffles quietly, his round nose so red and his big eyes puffy. “it took you so much convincing to believe me. what if he doesn’t believe me at all?”
“jungkook, taehyung knows you better than i do. he’ll know to believe you. i’m sure of it.”
he sniffles again and slowly nods.
“okay? here,” you say as you take the sponge out of his hand and rinse his soaped up hand. “let’s just go lie down for a bit. we’ll eat later.”
( ♡ )
the storm has finally let up the following day
and you need to do one more thing before you bite the bullet and face taehyung
you raise your fist and slowly knock on the door
you wait a few moments before it swings open
“hey, you.”
you smile at him. “hey, yoongi.”
he steps aside and invites you in
you quietly thank him and step in
“what’s up?” he asks as he heads into his living room and you follow him
“we uh,” you start as you nervously look around. “we need to talk.”
he halts in his movements and slowly turns to you. “oh. okay. would you like something to drink?”
you shake your head and gently take his soft hand into yours before leading him to the sofa
you both sit down and he’s staring at you with confused eyes. “so?”
you take a deep breath and finally glance at him. “yoongi,” you start, “you’re amazing. you really treat me exactly as a man should and i’ll always be thankful for that. you were never pushy, you were never condescending or overstepping. you just,” you pause for a moment to find more words but you kind of get stuck
it’s quiet
and he’s just staring at you
when the silence stretches out for longer than he likes, he decides to do something
his frown turns into a neutral expression. “finally chose jungkook, have you?”
oh
your eyes go wide and your throat goes dry.
fuck
“what?”
“i don’t like how you think i’m stupid, y/n.”
wh
what is he
what is
what is going on
you blink at him. he clearly is unimpressed with your attempts at letting him down slowly
oh no
you really don’t want to start panicking
“yoongi, i just–”
“hey, breathe. your veins are almost popping out of your throat.” he brings his finger up to tap your pouty lips
and it’s true, you were actually holding your breath
“i’m not stupid, you know.” he uses his thumb to rub your bottom lip. “it’s been rather clear that you’ve had feelings for jungkook. i was just waiting for you to realize.”
you frown at him. “how?”
“the camping trip, our first date, the parties, the clubs. your attention was always just centred around jungkook. i thought you were trying to get over it so i told you i’d make you realize you don’t need him but clearly you’ve realized you do and i get it.”
oh
okay
you are not going to cry
nope
you blink a few times to keep your tears in their fucking place. “aren’t you mad i used you to forget about him?”
at this, he’s quiet. he just blinks at you for a few moments before answering
“no, i’m not because i’m guilty too.”
you tilt your head to the side. “what do you mean?”
he sighs softly. “i uh,” he says as he shrugs his shoulders. “i did the same to you. i wanted to forget about sooyeon.”
wow
you didn’t actually think that was the case
well
he did mention he knew what you were talking about
and that he was okay with not getting into anything serious
but it’s strange hearing this from him now
because he just seems like the type of guy that has everything figured out
mature and collected
but you suppose after all, he’s human too
you nod slowly. “i see.”
he brings his hand down to rub your shoulder. “have you told taehyung?”
at this, your heart stings
you want to cry
“um,” you say with a shaky voice.
he frowns. “oh god,” he mumbles. “what happened?”
you explain what happened in short so you don’t bawl in front of him
“oh, shit. i guess it’s my fault, then?” he rubs his hairline. “i’m sorry, i didn’t think he’d rush to you like that for a simple cold.”
you sniff. him saying that makes you realize taehyung really does care for you
“you should go talk it out with him.”
“what if he doesn’t want to see me?”
he shakes his head. “don’t be absurd. i don’t think taehyung has ever even considered spending a day without at least hearing for you. he’s probably counting down the minutes until he sees you again.”
ugh
he really knows what to say
you slowly nod and rise to your feet. “i’m gonna go to him right now.”
he gets up as well. “okay. just breathe and you’ll be fine.”
you sigh and turn to fully face him as you wrap your arms around his waist and bury your face in his chest, inhaling his scent
he hugs you right back, stroking your head and rubbing your back soothingly
“thanks for everything, yoongles.”
“nope,” he chuckles, “your privileges have been revoked. you don’t get to call me that anymore.”
you huff and smack his back which he laughs at
you pull back and pout at him
he chuckles and pecks your nose. “we’ll talk again soon,” he says
and you can’t help but smile
“absolutely.”
and with a final squeeze, he lets go of you and walks you to his front door
“you’re rushing me out. i bet sooyeon is coming over,” you joke as you open his front door
he’s suddenly quiet for a moment. “would that make me a bad person?”
you laugh and hit his chest. “jerk.”
he chuckles and watches as you leave, leaning against the doorframe with a soft smile on his lips.
well then
until our paths cross again, yoongi ♡
(wrote this entire scene whilst watching yoongi live on weverse to say his goodbyes after the enlistment news bitch im so fucking emotional rn shut the fuck up)
and now
it’s time
to go see taehyung
you make your way to taehyung’s home
and take a few breaths
trying to calm yourself
you need to calm yourself
you can do this
right as you raise your fist to knock
the door swings open
and you almost slam your first into taehyung’s face
luckily you stop yourself right before that happens and tae stares at you in surprise
“oh,” he quietly says. “i was uh…” he scratches his head. “i was just on my way to you.”
oh
oh :(
you swallow thickly and watch as he steps aside to let you in
you walk in and your body wants to automatically fly onto his bed like you always do but you settle for the couch right now
he follows you and sits down on the coffee table to be able to face you instead of sitting down next to you
it’s quiet
real quiet
“i’m sorry–”
you both apologize in unison but you frown at him. “why are you apologizing?”
he blinks at you like you’re crazy. “because i was way out of line, y/n.”
he catches the quiver in your pout but doesn’t comment on it. “i always told you i’d never judge you but airing you out like that was the opposite of what i promised to always do for you. it wasn’t okay.”
you scrunch your nose a bit as you feel yourself getting emotional again
“so, you don’t hate me?”
he blinks at you like you’ve gone crazy. “are you insane?”
you press your lips into a thin line, hoping to hurt yourself so you can focus on that and not getting emotional
“taehyung, you sacrificed so much for me and i couldn’t even listen to the one thing you didn’t want me to do. i’d wanna kill me.”
he sighs quietly and shakes his head as he looks down at your fidgeting fingers. “oh, don’t get me wrong. i still wanna kill you but what i did wasn’t cool. i just,” he pauses as he tries to think of what to say.
“i didn’t mean to give you a ‘gotcha’ moment with that sensitive information but it was more my way of saying ‘i told you so’. you just make me so mad sometimes.”
you bite on your lip to stop it from quivering
“and the fact it’s been going on since the camping trip and i just, i thought about all the times you just lied to my face. you’d never done that before. we’ve always been honest with each other, you know? never in a million years did i think you would lie to me like that.”
you look down at your hands, realizing you’ve been picking at the loose flesh around your nails
“i’m always just thinking ‘it’s okay, she’s young’ whenever you screw up because you are. but i’m young too. and i’m scared too.”
it’s enough to have you silently crying again
he’s completely right
all of that pressure he’s been carrying with him
and he always looks so
careless and free
is that why he’s always drinking until he can’t fucking stand?
and he never ever once held it over your head
he never once pointed out that he carries all this pressure of keeping you safe and protect you
and you’re just a selfish cunt
“i know. i’m sorry, taehyung. i really am. it just,” you stutter as you shakily sniff for air, “it just happened.”
he glances up at you and nods, handing you tissues from his nightstand
“he needs us, taehyung. he needs you. he told me everything. he was just a boy.”
taehyung sighs as he puts the box of tissues down in front of you
you tell taehyung the storyline of you and jungkook
without the events of … yesterday and the day before that for obvious reasons.
and he doesn’t say much, just silently nods
it’s quiet for awhile as you both just sit there, not saying another word
until
“have you caught feelings for him?”
your breath hitches in your throat and your heart is beating in your ass
you make eye contact with him and he’s staring at you with a neutral expression
you furrow your brows and try to stop the involuntary quiver in your lips as you slowly nod to his question
he gently sighs and runs a hand through his hair. “does he know?”
you wipe your tears with the tissues. “yes. he confessed to me first.”
he then looks at you with a surprised look on his face. “jungkook told you he has feelings for you? jungkook?”
you blink at him, confused at the surprised tone in his voice. “well, he told me he was in love with me.”
he tilts his head to the side. “and you believe him?”
you shrug your shoulders. “not at first. and definitely not after hearing the mia thing but,” you pause for a moment. “he told me the full story and i don’t think he lied to me once as he did. so i do believe him now.”
he rubs his smooth chin with his fingers and slowly nods. “have you told yoongi?”
“yes.”
he leans back on his hands, his head tilted back as he stares at the ceiling. “where is jungkook now?”
you cough
“um…”
he lifts his head to look at you with a raised brow.
“he’s uh,” you glance at the front door. “he’s in the hall.”
taehyung blinks at you like you’re full of shit. “he’s here? in the hall?”
you slowly nod
taehyung stares at you for a moment longer before rising to his feet and walking to the front door
he swings it open and looks around the corner, just to see jungkook’s shadow at the bottom of the stairs
jungkook walks up a few stairs to see if it’s you but he makes eye contact with taehyung
and taehyung is just staring him down
jungkook quietly sighs and walks up the stairs, right up to taehyung’s front door
you watch from the couch, gripping the wet tissue in your hand still
jungkooks nose is still red
and his eyes are puffy
but neither of them say a word
just stare
at each other
until they suddenly kiss each other?
KNDKEJFKEJDKSJD
🍀 i’m just joking
they’re staring each other down in silence
until taehyung suddenly grabs jungkook by the collar of his shirt, knuckles turning white because of the tightness of his grip
jungkook just lets him
you shoot up from the couch in an instant, panic surging through your entire body
just as you’re about to call out taehyung’s name in hopes of stopping him
he pulls jungkook into a tight hug, maybe a little too tight
jungkook simply rests his chin on taehyung’s shoulder
and wraps his arms around him. “i’m sorry, hyung.”
they just hug in silence for a few moments until taehyung speaks up again
“you better not ever fuck her over or i swear i’ll have you jumped.”
jungkook chuckles and pats taehyung’s back. “i thought you were of the opinion that you should beat me the fuck up?”
is he insane
not the time for jokes, jungkook…
taehyung pulls back from the hug and stares at jungkook for a second with a frown on his face
before cracking his famous sheepish box smile. “i should but i know i can’t take you in a fight.”
LMFAOOOOO
what???😭😭😭😭
you snort and it makes both of them look at you
you suddenly feel like you’re being watched by the fbi or something the way ur standing there like 🧍‍♀️
taehyung lets go of jungkook and walks up to you, staring down at you with a furrow in his brows
“dumb people should never laugh.”
did he really just say that in the tone of that one nicki minaj tiktok audio😭😭😭
you pout and slap his chest
he chuckles and pulls you into a tight embrace, resting his chin on top of your head and not caring he’s suffocating you with his chest
but you simply keep your face buried there, inhaling his scent
and he literally just feels like home
he then says;
“good thing you’re dumb or else my life would’ve been really boring.”

You’re on your own kid ~ Rafe Cameron ☼
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: Rafe and you have been best friends since you were young. However, now that he got his new girlfriend you suddenly realized that you could possibly like him more than simply as a friend.
Pairing: Rafe Cameron x Fem!Reader
Warnings: anxiety, mentions of drinking
A/N: Its been a while yall, but i’m back!! I hope y’all enjoy :)! ( i hateee this but i hope y’all love)
angst to soft!
-
Summer went away,
You’ve been best friends with Rafe since as long as you can remember, but last summer was the summer where everything changed.
The summer before your first year of college.
School was back up and you were also starting to look at Rafe with a different eye. He was taller, tanner, smarter, he’s growing up.
Still the yearning stays.
Everytime you’d pass Rafe in the hallway hed give you a short smile but never really acknowledge you.
You missed last summer when you guys would hang out everyday, tell eachothers every little secret, and have the best deep conversations at 2am.
You knew at this moment that things might never be the same again.
I play it cool with the best of them.
For the first time in months Rafe contacted you, he invited you to go to a party with a lot of people from your school.
When you arrived, that’s when you seen him with her.
He had his arm around her neck and her long blonde hair rested on his lower arm.
I wait patiently, he’s gonna notice me.
“It’s ok, It’s ok” You whisper quietly while gaining the courage to go up and talk to Rafe.
As you walk up to him he gives you a half-hug due to the blonde on his right.
“Hey Y/N i haven’t seen you in a while.” He grins.
“Yeahhh, I guess i’ve been busy yknow with all the test and s-” Immediately you get cut off by a high pitched voice.
“Rafeyyy cmon let’s go play some games this is boring.” She says with a pout.
“Mkay babe. Bye Y/n” The boy said walking away without a glance at you.
It’s ok we’re the best of friends, anyways…
About a week after the party Rafe finally calls to check up on you.
“Hey y/n.” He drowsily says .
“Rafe? It’s 1:00am what are you calling me for?” You voice concerningly
“I just miss my bestie that’s all” He laughs.
I hear it in your voice,
You're smoking with your boys.
I touch my phone as if it's your face.
“Rafe are you high right now?” You almost shout.
“Yes, Maybe, No.” He giggles.
“Rafe do you need me to come get you?”
You rush to grab your keys and your wallet to go pick Rafe up.
“No i’m here with my girlfriend.” He says.
You stop in your tracks, immediately getting a sick feeling in your stomach as soon as those words come out from his mouth.
“Oh Okay, we’ll I’ll talk to you some other time okay?” You suggest.
And with that he hangs up the phone without a goodbye.
I didn't choose this town,
I dream of getting out.
There's just one who could make me stay,
All my days.
As a kid you and Rafe would always talk about how when you guys were 25 you’d move to London together, and to this day that’s still your biggest dream.
You hate this place, it’s full of people who will be rude to you just based off of how you grew up.
Surprisingly Rafe is now dating one of those girls, Lily.
From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
I waited ages to see you there
I search the party of better bodies
Just to learn that you never cared
You promised yourself after last time you would never go to another college party, but here you find yourself at one that Rafe invited you to.
You would be lying if you said you’re here because you wanted to party, you’re waiting to see him.
You see Lily off in the crowd dancing, She’s perfect. You understand why Rafe would pick her. Her hair flows perfectly in the wind, her makeup is never less than flawless, and even though you want to tell yourself that she’s ugly, she’s one of the prettiest girls you’ve ever seen.
As you study Lily you see Rafe come up from behind her and hug her.
You're on your own, kid
You always have been
The whole night Rafe didn’t even bat a single eye at you, so you left.
I see the great escape
So long, Daisy May
I picked the petals, he loves me not
Something different bloomed
Writing in my room
I play my songs in the parking lot
I'll run away
You tried to distance yourself ever since the party, finally realizing this crush is starting to form into something you don’t need right now.
It’s been exactly 2 weeks since you’ve gone no contact with Rafe and if there were 20 stages of grief, you’ve been through 30.
All you want to do is call him, text him, or tell yourself that maybe he’s just using Lily as a distraction because he really likes you.
“Why is it never me.”
From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
I called a taxi to take me there
I search the party of better bodies
Just to learn that my dreams aren't rare
It’s a cycle.
Another party, Another slap in the face.
You can see the other girls also looking at Lily wishing they could be with Rafe.
The realization kills you to know that it’ll probably never be you in that spot with all these options he has.
You're on your own, kid,
You always have been.
It’s a drunken night, and you’ll definitely regret this.
“Rafeyyy babyyy” you slur.
“Y/N? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?” You can tell he is worried in his tone.
“I don’t like her. She’s rude, you deserve better.”
There is a long pause and then you hear someone speak, “He’s never liked you babe. You’re nothing compared to me, and you know that.”
The phone hung up.
From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
I gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this
I hosted parties and starved my body
Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss
It’s been hard to do anything since the altercation.
Eating, Getting up, Going to class, Socializing, and pretty much everything feels like a chore.
You’ve tried so hard to get his attention yet he never seemed to care.
And of course as a mean girl, Lily decided to tell everyone about what you said to Rafe. Of course he apologized for what she said, and for what happened but that didn’t stop the whole school for coming at you for a whole week.
The jokes weren't funny, I took the money
My friends from home don't know what to say
I looked around in a blood-soaked gown
And I saw something they can't take away
You received a text message late at night, usual for Rafe.
Rafe: Hey, i’m so sorry for what Lily caused. You’re my best friend and I realized nothing is worth loosing that, me and her are over now after a long talk.. Can we please hang out? I miss you.
Fuck. This is what you’ve been longing for all these months and it finally is here.
You: Yeah sure, Sleepover? my place tmmrw? ;)
Rafe: Ofc. I miss you. Cya.
Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned
Everything you lose is a step you take
So make the friendship bracelets
Take the moment and taste it
You've got no reason to be afraid
The anxiety levels are high waiting for Rafe to come over, it’s been so long since you’ve had a real conversation through all this time of him being with Lily.
You start to wonder if he still likes Starwars, or if his favorite dancing song is 22 by Taylor Swift.
You then hear a knock on the door.
You're on your own, kid
“Hey!! Can I come in” he says.
“Of course.”
Then the catching up, the apology’s, and the stories start up.
It’s just like last summer.
Yeah, you can face this
While Rafe is telling one of his stories, you start to feel a pit of anxiety in your stomach because you know what you have to do.
You’ve gotten ready for this moment, practiced it in the mirror about 50 times to make sure your facial expressions, or your tone doesn’t sound too weird.
You're on your own, kid
“Rafe.” You stop him mid conversation.
“Yes?” he says with a quirk of his eyebrows.
“All these months i’ve been so distant but really all I wanted was to be near you, since last summer you’ve been the only thing on my mind and maybe you don’t feel the same way but-“
He cuts you off with a kiss to your lips.
“I’ve been waiting since the 8th grade for you to say that” He says as he pulls away.
“So all that practicing in the mirror was for nothing?” you giggle.
“Guess so.”
You always have been

haii guyss…
i feel like it’s been a while since i actually TALKED here? hope you guys are doing okay :] i know some of y’all are already thinking “where is part two of wonder why i’m bitt—“ LET ME EXPLAIN MYSELF i’m just coming on here to tell you a few things that i feel needs to be mentioned,,
so! i want you guys to know that I’M SORRY FOR BEING SO INACTIVEEE writing has gotten a lot harder over the course of the last few months and that i’m really trying:(( life has gotten busier, i have a lot less time to even open google docs in the first place, let alone to actually sit down and finish the million drafts i’ve startedfjksfm and not only that, but i just, feel like i don’t like writing as much anymore?
before you potentially panic!! i’m not deactivating or anything lmao, i think i just need a bit more time to find a pace i’m comfortable with, if that makes sense? basically, granted it’s my complete fault, i’ve committed to writing MULTIPLE wips and as much as i wanna finish every single one of them and post them for you guys to enjoy them, I DON’T LIKE THEMMM I NEVER DOOO… i’m burnt out mane it’s like everytime i write something anymore i just hate it and never wanna talk about it again, yknow? (hence why i kinda don’t find the will to answer asksfkskd but i promise i see all of them and they genuinely all make me smile thank you) THAT WASN’T THE CASE WHEN I STARTED THIS BLOG! i liked writing, i thought it was really fun and partially the reason why i think i borderline HATE it now is because i feel the need to always perfect my fics and have everybody like them (which will obviously never be the case, and i need to come to terms with the fact that my stuff is not for everyone, and that it’s okay!!) basically, the fact that i kinda have a platform now is a bit scary and pressuring considering and i always feel bad that i can’t seem to keep up with your guys’ demands and i’m really sorry but i need time to adjust i think?!:&;&
so all i ask of you guys is that you please please pleaseee bear with me as i’m trying very hard to keep content coming for you guys and that i’m trying to keep that flame burning; if you’re curious about whether or not i’m working on something in particular, please just check my wipsfksmdm seeing all of the asks about sequels is kinda stressful and i always feel bad for taking too long to write them WHICH LEADS TO ME RUSHING THEM I’M SORRY:(( and also i’m gonna be emptying my inbox today so that it’s kinda like a fresh start? feel free to drop your ask again if you really want it answered, i’ll try my best to! :] and say hi i miss all of youfjdkfm
thank you for your time and patience aahh i didn’t mean for it to be this long #notreadingallat, but yeahh it really means a lot to me and i’m sorryfkendn thank you again mwah i love you all, take caree

I’ve Missed You
tom cruise x wife!reader
summary: tom arrives home for a week break during his promo tour, and things get heated - in a good way.
warnings: 18+, language, protected sex, daddy kink
wc: 1.3k
a/n: y’all I’m so sorry… I’m trying to write for other people/characters but my only ideas right now involve tom. 😫 and apparently I have a daddy kink for/with him.
Tumblr media
Your phone rings one evening, and when you go to pick it up, you see it’s Tom calling.
“Hey you,” you say with a smile.
“Hey sweetheart,” Tom says, a little sleepily.
“Didn’t get a lot of sleep last night?” you tease.
“No,” Tom chuckles. “The fans are so wonderful, though. Makes me excited for the movie.”
“That’s great, Tom. You’ve worked really hard on it, and everyone’s gonna love it.”
“I love you.”
You giggle. “I love you too. Now what’s up?”
“Well, I have a week off before I need to be in New York, so I thought I could stop by the condo and spend some time with you.”
“You act like I own this place,” you laugh.
“You mean to tell me you don’t?”
“When can I expect you?” you ask him, rolling your eyes at his comment.
“I’ll be getting in around 5pm on the fourth.”
“Mm, sounds good. And we can make up for not being together on your birthday,” you tease.
Tom stifles a groan. “Sweetheart, you can’t talk like that.”
“What? You’re telling me I can’t flirt and tease you?” you ask in a cocky tone.
“Stop,” Tom pleads in a hushed voice.
“Oh, are there people around? You don’t want to get a hard on with them around? You’re embarrassed that even just by talking to your wife you get turned on?”
“Y/n,” he says sternly.
You laugh. “Okay, okay, I’ll stop. I’m sorry, I just haven’t had you in so long.”
“It’s been under a month.”
“Still too long.”
You hear some voices in the background.
“I have to go, sweetheart. I’ll text you when I’m on my way from the airport.”
“Okay, baby. I love you.”
“I love you too.”
The call ends. You go and take a shower, making sure you shave every inch of your body so Tom has a treat when he gets back.
The next evening, you get the long-awaited text.
Hey sweetheart. 25 minutes.
The 25 minutes seems to take about 30 years, but you eventually hear the door open.
“Hey,” you call out, walking to the door.
“Hey,” Tom says, meeting you in the living space with his bags.
You walk up to him and give him a hug, holding him tight.
“I’ve missed you,” you mumble into his chest.
“I’ve missed you too,” Tom says, kissing the top of your head.
“It’s good to have you back, I wish I could’ve joined you.”
“You’ll join me in New York, right?”
“Do you want me to?”
“What kind of question is that? Of course I want you to.” Tom kisses you.
“Okay, I’ll go,” you smile.
“Good. We’ll get you a real nice dress that’ll look good pooled at your feet,” Tom kisses you again.
“Thomas,” you scold.
“Didn’t you say something about making up for the fact we weren’t together on my birthday?” He starts to pepper your face and neck with kisses.
“I think this is a new personal best for you, Cruise,” you say with a laugh.
“What do you mean?” he asks, starting to touch you too.
“I think we talked for a good 30 seconds before you turned horny.”
“Mm, I can’t help it, sweetheart,” he whispers against your skin.
You giggle. “So are you going to take me to bed?”
“Say no more,” Tom growls, picking you up.
“Tom!” you yell as you’re practically thrown over his shoulder.
The next thing you know, you’re tossed onto the bed.
“Tom!” you yell again.
He crawls on top of you. “You started this.”
“I don’t think so, I just said we need to make up for being apart on your birthday.”
“Practically the same thing, don’t you think?”
“Actually, no,” you laugh.
“Mmhmm,” he hums, pulling his dark shirt off.
He then helps you get your shirt off, and he goes back to peppering your skin with kisses.
His right hand slides up your torso and lands on your breast. He starts to massage it.
“Oh,” you moan.
Tom presses his pelvis against yours. “You like that?” he whispers in your ear.
“Mm,” you nod, caressing the back of his neck.
“Good,” he growls, pressing harder against you and slowly grinding against you.
“Stop being a tease,” you complain, running your hands along his biceps.
Tom smiles at you and swiftly rids himself of his jeans, followed by helping you rid your shorts.
He continues to kiss you while he palms your clothed core.
You moan against his lips, and as you do, his tongue makes its way into your mouth.
Your grip his shoulders and force yourself harder against his palm.
Tom groans into your mouth. One of his fingers slips past your panties and starts petting your clit. You gasp at the sensation.
Your hands wander his body to find his cock, which is already hard as a rock. You make your way into his boxers. You wrap your fingers around his hardness and start to stroke it, causing Tom to falter.
“Sweetheart,” he moans.
“It’s only fair,” you whisper.
As Tom kisses you, he reaches to the nightstand to find a condom. You buck your hips against the hand that is still there.
“Wait a minute,” Tom mutters as he still struggles to find a condom.
“Dammit,” he says, breaking contact with you to move closer to the nightstand.
You giggle.
“No giggles from you,” he lightly scolds as he finally finds a condom. “Damn we’re low.”
“Oh, I didn’t know or I would’ve gotten more,” you say.
Tom moves back over you. “Don’t worry about it,” he says, giving you a kiss. “Now take those panties off,” he orders, taking his own boxers off.
You nod and pull them down. Tom pulls them the rest of the way off and tosses them over his shoulder.
You try to make contact with Tom as he rips the condom wrapper open.
“This is now my second time asking you to wait a damn minute,” he says with a small smile.
“I want you now, Daddy,” you moan, knowing that calling him “Daddy” is going to make him lose his mind.
“Fuck,” he mutters under his breath as he rolls the condom down his shaft.
“Daddy, please,” you beg.
He presses his tip against you. “What was that?”
“Please, Daddy. Please, fuck me senseless.”
Tom grins at you, then leans down and kisses you as he pushes his tip into you.
You gasp.
“That’s just the tip, sweetheart,” he mutters.
He continues to push into you, and you moan with pleasure.
Tom pushes all the way in and stops.
You open your eyes. “What?”
Tom smiles. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” you say. “But I think we were in the middle of something.”
“Oh, you mean this?” Tom asks sarcastically, starting to thrust his hips.
“Oh!” you exclaim as his cock slams back into you.
He is going as deep as he can each time he enters you.
“Tom,” you breathe.
“What did you call me?”
“Daddy,” you correct yourself.
“That’s better,” he growls. His pace quickens.
“Oh, Daddy, I’m gonna come, oh shit,” you say.
“That was fast,” Tom teases.
“Daddy,” you whine.
“Wait,” he growls. He goes even harder, which you didn’t even think was possible.
“Oh,” he moans, mouth agape and eyes closed. “Come for Daddy,” he says in a strained voice.
A few seconds later, you release, clenching down on Tom’s cock. Tom groans and comes in the condom.
“Fuck,” he says, slowly thrusting his hips.
You’re only able to get out a small whimper. He pulls out and discards the condom.
Tom then leans down and kisses you. “You’re absolutely beautiful.”
You smile. “You’re very handsome.”
Tom lays down beside you and pulls you close. The skin on skin contact makes you melt in happiness.
“I’ve missed you in my arms,” Tom whispers against your hair.
“The promo tour is almost done,” you remind him.
“I know, and I can’t wait for it to be over so we can lay in bed all day.”
“Mm, that sounds nice.” You roll over to face him.
Tom kisses you gently. “Maybe we can have a little preview this week.”
You smile. “I’d like that a lot.”

ALRIGHTY IT’S BEEN A HOT SECOND BUT WE ARE BACK LADIES AND GENTLEMEN BOIS AND LASSES LADS AND FOLKS ITS KNOX REACTS TIME AND AHA AHAHAHA OH B O Y HERE WE GO
Knox reacts to Monkie Kid season 5 episode 1
lmk s5 spoilers ahead
so like, to start off, little disclaimer, i don’t know how i’m gonna do with the animation, so bear with me, my brain still hasn’t accepted that this isn’t just new fan animation or something I’m gonna TRY and do my BEST to keep comments on the animation to a minimum but i can make no promises, I watched the first like, ten seconds to make sure the sound was working and I gotta say folks, it hurt me puppet animation is not my vibe I miss 2D heck lego godspeed wildbrain. So yeah, just heads up on that, I shall do my best simple to react to the voice acting and plot, humour, all that kinda stuff HERE WE GO
NAH BRO I’M AFRAID TO PRESS PLAY WHAT DO I DO I’M JUST SITTING HERE
I KEEP LOOKING AT THIS BLANK WHITE SCREEN AAAAAAA
Okayokay keep it together knox u got this you got this it’s just more monkie kid, we’re normal about monkie kid <— is not the least bit normal about monkie kid
on an unrelated side-note my computer keeps autocorrecting monkie to monkey and i’m two seconds from strangling it OKAYBEFOREIPSYCHMYSELFOUTAGAINLETSGO
o u gh
theme song i’m on my hands and knees
Flying Bark i miss YOUUUU WAILS WAILS WAILS WILASGFAWE OH GODS WHAT IS THIS
Hi welcome back to Knox pausing this every four seconds here’s the pre-episode reaction of me reacting to the trailer if you’ve been here a while you probably saw this coming COUGHS HACKS SNEEZES
Okay going back. So, flying bark bits </3 breaking my heart I’m FINE as you can see i totally don’t want to break down lego’s front door and beg for them to accommodate flying back pay them better and give less insane deadlines so i can have them back what are you talking about—
Because we are here for the voice acting and stuff I will NOT make commentary on the still frames in the theme song i will NOT
OKAY SPEED ANALYSIS. Everybody’s intros look p basic, so nothing huge going on yet for personal arcs probably gonna mainly focus on mk and ohhh haha right right circlet right yes, mac and wukong cool beans yeah, I like the little snark monkey king has going on good for him, I am not used to seeing Macaque who’s not animated by animators who sold their souls to make him look like he’s a shiny rock. I’m already pointing and laughing at Nezha, angsty looking fool AND HEYYY THAT’S HIS DAD FROM THE TRAILERRRR WASSUP OLD MAN WHY ARE YOU STANDING LIKE THAT—no comment on all the glowy blue light. Ohhhhh mysterious cloaked figure has teeth now, smiling like that? Gotcha macaque-ish figure. Smug fella? Charismatic? I dunno i’m guessing here, WILL THEY PLAY A BIGGER PART???? WHO KNOWS. PROBABLY. They in the theme song ofc they’re gonna play a bigger part what am i talking about ALRIGHT. Okay lots of eyes, whole lotta eyes. Saw this clip in before i think?? Was it in the trailer? Maybe someone sent it to me, not sure. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM They’ve used that tilted angle twice now, like Mk in the middle with the floor tilted under him. …squints. Eh, no comment, if you want my thoughts on all that junk lemme know I’ll make a separate post where I will probably spend 90% of the time wailing about Flying Bark— [gets hit by a chair]
[REDACTED]
Anyway
Cool cool, giant flaming bird phoenix thing, I don’t know enough mythology anymore to identify what that might be i’ma be real with y’all I used to know a lot more than i do now my brain is EMPTY. Ooookaaayyyy, Turtle, Tiger, Dragon. Sure sure. I don’t know whats going on—
Mmmmmmmm stones…….. what were some theories about these onessssss, something about pillars and holding up the universe? I honestly don’t remember wowza say goodbye to the universe ig ALTHOUGH HEY, I do love the aesthetic of floaty rocks around to show power or whatever, I’ve been drawing Mei with the Samdhi fire rings hovering around her in my notebook and sketches and stuff for AGES, so that’s really neat I do like that I can tell there might be a lot of cool art pieces (at least from me maybe) coming out of that!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM heeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Nuuuuuwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaa hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii a h a h e y I’m sure everything is gonna be fine. I like that her face is shadowed so we don’t know where she’s at i hope she’s impartial i would love that genuinely um MK WEAPON???? REMEMBER THAT??
I’m sure this will not lead to anything in the future ever
Right, and then a uh, multi-headed… thing—oh is that like medusa air on that creature? Is it a snake or a bird? eh, i’m sure i’ll find out eventually maybe its a snake bird, a snake that absorbs that fire bird at the start or something OHHH OR MAYBE THAT TURTLE TOO? HEY CAN YOU LIKE NOM ALL THOSE ANIMALS AND GET THEIR POWERS?? THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING— sorry ahem, theory territory we’re here for reactions MOVING ON—oh
OH THAT’S A WHOLE PILLER. THAT IS. A WHOLE PILLER OF THE UNIVERSE. ISNT’ IT. Dear gods what am I walking into.
Ough <— paused on the end of the theme song
Pigsy my beloved <3 I’ve been staring at him for three minutes. Whoever drew Pigsy standing there with his arms crossed in the theme song… ily <3
OKAY RIGHT, BACK TO IT.
THEM SONG IS OVER, I’VE MANAGED TO STAY NORMAL AND KEEP ANIMATION COMMENTS TO MYSELF LETS GET THIS ROLLING!
MMMMM STRINGS THAT BIND.
.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS SO IMA JUST PRESS PLAY
:(
The um… the expressions don’t match the…voice act..ing…. MMMMMMMMMMMdunnoificandothisguys
Okay this is fine we fine i just have to listen to the reactions going on underneath the constant screaming in my head this is f i n e I’M SO SORRY I’M TRYING MY BEST TO STAY POSITIVE HERE
Ahem
The monkey mountains are cute! Lil goofy, we love that for them. I’ll bet they set a day aside for making those. I do find it funny that monkey king’s stuff looks like he purchased it from a merch street vendor and Mk’s all looks handmade with scraps of old clothing items and string he stole from probably monkey king’s house;lKMGAWEF
Okay so capture the flag! Cool! Capture the flag with the staff thats so silly actuallyLG;KMAWEF
Oh he is sleep deprived
NAH THO I’VE FELT THAT BEFORE THE SLOW ONE EYE THAN THE OTHER BLINK THEN OUGHH AND MUFFLED STATIC AND THEN HEADSHAKE AND ALRIGHT BACK TO IT I HAVE LITERALLY DONE THATGL;KMAFWE who among us has not y’know—
The way Mk throws himself into training to avoid thinking about things is hilarious. I’m guessing he hasn’t had a wink of sleep in days NG;LKMAWEF
I already said the THING
Ough flying bark my beloved <3 I see u reused animation i missed you i’m gonna cry facedown on the floor now
Hm! Mk sounds different actually. Like the voice actor?? Something’s different about the voice, tho that could just be my audio honestlyG;LKAWEF Maybe a little deeper sounding? HMHM INCHRESTING
Wukong just yeeting the staff at Mk was funny HGL;KJSAFD
aHA GOT A HIT IN
Nah the way Wukong is just >:D is nice, we love mentor and student bonding hours
Okayokayokayokay l i s t e n. One kinda negative opinion here, I may bring it up later we’ll see; the expressions don’t match the voice acting energy. Like… the vibes are just different. S I G H S. End comment for now ;-;7
Okay, okay, I laughed. I did laugh. I confess, I laughed, “Here… comes… monkie—“
“KING”
I laughed. That was silly, i liked that, thank you bless <3 That made my day <3 Bless u sir <3 Silly goofy <3
It’s interesting to see Mk and Wukong getting closer in power level tho like, the dynamic is shifting to something else, vibin a little different, I dunno, could be the animation change, writer change, whatever it is the vibe is v different
Glad to see the humour is still there <3
Huh, Mk sounds really different to me IS IT JUST ME?? AM I GOING INSANE?? ??? ? NOBODY ELSE PICKING UP ON THAT??
.
honestly it could just be because bro is sleep deprived as HECK which honestly would make sense, JUDGEMENT RESERVED FOR LATER!! (could also be my headphones i ain’t even lying)
“yousaidnoholdingbackbutyouheldbackrightuntiltheendrightwheniwasabouttowin—“ BRO U ARE SO SLEEP DEPRVIEDLKGMA;OIEWFM GO TAKE A NAP
Wowza we do love the high-key confirmation monkey king’s holding back all the time tho that’s fun mwahahahahaha VINDICATION
Oooohhh nicely done wildbrain you kept the little spinny guys, y’know those in the background legs and arms out spinning versions of Mk? that’s nice I always loved those with flying bark
[face in hands] bro pls i can’t live with the flashbacks pls UR HURTING ME WHYYYYYYYYYY
Hi and welcome to knox’s live [sniffs] missing flying bark reaction, today we will [snimffles] C RY WAILS
Just two monkeys holding baaaaaaoh okay
sniffs
weird
so confim… share stone?? how does that work?? also fambly confirmed ig, RELATED. Cause if its literally the same stone… that’s a whole related bois right there. Appropriate concern for Mk fr
Kaykay h o ne s t l y ?? ? It doesn’t feel like monkie kid so far—granted we are oNLY three minutes in so I may take that back—but MAN throwing me off quite a bit WILD
Mk avoiding monkey still gotcha, its kinda neat how willing swk is to change the subject n stuff
I’M COMPARTMENTALIZINGNALSK;FMA;WOEIFMSFD
ME TOO MK
ME TOO
IF I STOP I DIE
SO REAL
ME RN
MK MANSPLAINING ABOUT MONKEYS TO THE LITERAL MONKEY KINGSDLFKMAOWEF
P sure that’s sharks bud
NOPE MONKEYS
HELPGNSADFKAMSDF
THE SPEED WITH WHICH
WUKONG IS DISTRACTED
“:OOOOO SURPRISE???? :D?? no wait—“
Mk bro is there really a surprise or are you trying to run away from the subject—
I’m sorry i made the exact same sound as monkey king when macaque showed up don’t look at me—SPEAKING OF MANSPLAINING, HERE WE GO, LEMME GUESS, GONNA LECTURE MONKEY KING ON HOW HE’S NOT DOING A GOOD JOB OR HE NEEDS TO DO THIS AND THAT AND IGNORES THE FACT MONKEY KING IS CLEARLY TRYING WITH WHATEVER IT IS HOW CLOSE AM I GUYS?
Also before i continue, listen I’m NNNOOOT sure how I feel about like… Mk and Wukong “our egg” I dunno feels kinda weird to me for some reason like, so they’re definitely related now, whether that be technically bros or straight up twins. Like i’m a huge fan of found family and now its like… WOW I FOUND AN ACTUAL RELATED FAMILY MEMBER THAT I ALREADY HAD AN ESTABLISHED DYNAMIC WITH AND NOW THAT CHANGES HOW WE INTERACT AHA this is fine, I wasn’t sure about Monkey Mk first either so I’ll probably get over it— G;LAKSDFM I like Sifu and Student better than I do big bro and little bro at this point tho :T might just be me
GOOD GODS WE’RE ONLY THREE MINUTES AND FORTY SECONDS IN SAVE ME
Wow, a lot of things getting confirmed this first ep actually wow. I’m kinda startled. I’m so used to like… biased narration and skirting around the what’s actually being said and everything being carried by the animation but in this first ep we have verbal confirmation that
both mk and monkey king hold back
mk and monkey king are related
Wukong and Macaque have lived on the mountain together since they were born
Oh cool working together huh interesting—AHA. AHA I TOLD YOU. SEE??? TRASH TALKING MONKEY KING AHA SEE? sniffs I’m sorry but
Macaque, after seeing Monkey King try to talk to Mk about stuff and Mk brushing him off so hard he flies off the mountain: you suck as a mentor
SHUT UR MOUTH MACAQUE I LIKED YOU BETTER IN YOUR THEATRE KID PHASE—
Okay no, seriously tho, whats up with all the tilted angles?? I’ve counted what…? Four? Five of them now?? Two in the theme song, at least two in this convo and then one other one I thought but I might’ve been imaging it. Are they trying to bring an off centre vibe?? if the goal is to make us uncomfortable it at the very least is working on me
ANOTHER ONE???
.
P
Pls tell me they don’t do this tilting screen thing throughout the whole season
Like, once in a while for dramatic effect is nice, this is the third time in this one convo alone—
Ough. Man godspeed Monkey King trying to give Mk 25 minutes of peace fr
Ig macaque do be having a point tho, there sure do be something else going on with the lad
OHHHH ANOTHER CONFIMRATION??? Wow ask and ye shall receive ig dang
Confirmation 4. Sun Wukong did not know Mk was a monkey
That’s wild that the eyes of truth couldn’t see through Mk’s disguise or whatever it is that’s some pretty powerful stuff then
Also HELPGMALSKFMASDF WHY IS MACAQUE BEING SO AGGRESSIVE I’M WHEEZINGL;KAMSFSD
“It just felt right” ah, I’m sure that won’t be said multiple times throughout this season I’m sure this won’t be a recurring theme, DESTINY, IS THAT YOU?
Every moment of this conversation is tilted and it is distracting me so much helpMLGAOEFMI LISTEN THERE WAS A PICTURE AT THIS LADY’S HOUSE I VISITED TODAY AND IT WAS CROOKED BUT A COULDNT’ FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS BEHIND HER AND THE COUCH AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RUDE, THIS GIVES ME THE SAME TWITCHY FEELING JUST A LITTLE BIT BG;KLAMSEWF
Okay, tbf, macaque is definitely mmmm how’s you say this… looking at the bigger picture, a little bit more. Wukong’s priority is Mk and that’s p much it. Is mk okay. Is mk ready. Is mk safe. All that other stuff doesn’t matter to him. Which is silly cause that’s how Mk feels about Monkey King too. Is he here. Is he okay. Who cares about backstory. Which is!! Funky!!
“All your old companions are suddenly here” uhuhuh, so that is weird, and they definitely all did die.
Yeah Macaque how come you back huh—well its LBD obviously but y’know same thing, Macaque I think maybe you’re not saying why you’re actually thinking about all this you’re one of the people who were snatched back bro, bro? bro are you listening—
HELPGKLMASFOI;WMFSADF THE WAY WUKONG DOES NOT CARE ABOUT STRINGS BEING PULLED UNTIL MACAQUE MENTIONS MK.
Sniffs, wowza
“and they’re not finished.”
“Are you?”
HONESTLY FAIR, FAIR, I’M SORRY, I TOO, WOULD BE DONE WITH A GUY WHO KEEPS CALLING ME TERRIBLE AND TELLING ME ALL THE REASONS I’M STUPID, NO MATTER IF HE BRINGS UP ANY GOOD POINTS OR NOT, SERIOUSLY, FAIR MONKEY KING I’LL CHEER YOU ON, GET EM KING—
iNHALES
>:T
“you need to do better” = “if you’re homeless… JUST BUY A HOUSE”
same energy
sniffs LISTEN. Wukong has literally been running around trying to take everything on himself for the past four seasons and steps back when Mk needs to do things himself, literally no matter what this dude does he gets flack for it >:T AS A MONKEY KING FAN WHAT THE HECK—
He sure does look tired dude :(
AND THEN THEY’RE GONNA SLAP THE CIRCLET ON HIM, CAN HE GET A FIVE SECOND BREAK? PLS?? HE COULD USE IT

y’all can come at me with pitchforks and torches but
this doesn’t feel like Pigsy to me
I dunno if its the dialogue or the pacing or something but its just… v off. For some reason. feels like a different character and not in the “he had an arch” way. …I dunno, ITS THROWING ME OFF FOLKS He feels like a fan fiction pigsy DONT’S STAB ME—
Son in the fourth season hit way harder— I’MSORRYI’MSORRYDON’TKILLME—
awww monkey king origami real
he’s fine as i can see
oop
okay so what’s going on in the dream realm cause they’re all not sleeping good so its probably a shared dream of some ki— AHAHA HANG ON HANG ON
Hang on
if they get
dragged to the underworld
that would be funny
monkey king passed out (technically drunk himself to death but lets say passed out) he woke up to being dragged to the underworld so it would be funny—
Whats he saying??? ECHOY VOICE I CAN’T UNDERSTAND YOU
I understood time to wake up but not the other bit
AHAHAHAH CALLED IT
SUMMONED
SNATCHED
MONKEYS??
OH YEAH ALL OF THEM OKAY
face in hands
its o v e r
THAT FELT LIKE THE LONGEST EPISODE I’VE EVER WATCHED IN MY LIFE
OH GODS ITS SEVEN O’CLOCK I’VE BEEN HERE FOR TWO HOURS AND TWENTY MINUTES I
HELPGKLASMF;OAIWEMFLSADF
Okay, overall consensus of episode 1: you can feel the change in studios and you can feel the change in writers (if there’s new writers, if not i can eat my words.) the animation is about what i expected, they use a lot of tilted angles for reasons I don’t know it’s making me kinda dizzy, some of the VA’s sound very off, I hope they’re doing okay, the dialogue was weirdly hard to focus on, i had to go back and replay bits several times to understand what they were saying, humour still nice, outfits cute, Tang needs to get pushed into some hard manual labour, the house bit was really nice i love that monkey king has been accepted by the group, macaque questioning why the jttw crew is there means that their reincarnations are a weird thing which i’m staring at, uh… and they’re in the underworld now probably!! WOO!! HORRIFYING!!!
Y’know my goal was to watch 2 episodes but I think that’s all i have in me for today so SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON KNOX REACTS UNLESS IS SCARED YOU ALL OFF WITH STARING TOO HARD AT THE DIFFERENCES, JOIN US FOR WHEN KNOX INEVITABLY SHATTERS INTO PEICES AND STARTS YELLING ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY HATE LARGE CORPORATIONS LIKE LEGO AND DISNEY AND HOW MUCH THEY LOVE CREATORS LIKE FLYING BARK AND THE VA’S PEACE OUT AND PLS DON’T COME AT ME WITH PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES—
edit: EATING MY WORDS, sound mixing studios changed, not writers, that would explain some of the difficulty i was having hearing the audio and why a lot of the voices sounded off pls disregard all previous ranting about those things o7
edit 2: i've processed a bit, we got dadsy, i will live forever

Thoughts on Leo Risings 💭
Lmk if y’all want me to do more rising sign thoughts lol
So I was listening to some ~old drake~ and I started to think about how people keep calling him ‘sassy’ (which I personally don’t really care about, that’s more funny to me than an insult lol), but then I remembered he was a Leo Rising and I dove into a rabbit hole🐰🕳️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
~Aubrey
So I know a couple Leo Risings irl and they ALL DO THIS POUT 👄🫦⬆️ 😭😭 they are so cute, ima put more examples below
They have a Sag 5th house and all I can think about is when Snoop Dogg said “This mf don’t miss!! He don’t miss!!!!” Which he literally was talking about drake lmaoo,, the Sag energy here really promotes them being expansively creative asfff they really just endlessly create, they see very little limitations to where they can go in life
Tumblr media Tumblr media
~Brent Faiyaz💋💋💋💋💋
Hair! Hair! Hair!!!! Okay!! Leo rules over hair (lions’ mane), so people with Leo energy in their charts have extremely noticeable hair, whether Sun is strong or afflicted
From what I observe they are very into the more luxurious side of life, (Taurus 10th House), most of them love high quality clothes, jewelry, accessories, just in general life
Tumblr media Tumblr media
~Tyler The Creator LMAO
These 3 guys ⬆️ all have worked with each other before, which I think is so 🥰🫶🏽🥹
They love to feel like the “leader of their pack” or “leader of their pride” not in a controlling way, but they love to feel apart of a group of people they deeply care about, they are major supporters and will want reciprocation, “take care of me I take care of you” ex: Tyler The Creator with OFWGKTA <3
They are absolutely not attention seekers (I’ve heard ppl say this about them and I’m just like uhuh.. maybe that’s a low way of thinking about it at least) They are so fierce and so true to themselves which makes them naturally draw attention towards themselves
Bc of their Aquarius 7th house, the general public wants to know a lot about the Leo risings relationship status bc they view that area of their life to be very bizarre, they’re ppl that obsess over Leo Risings’ relationships and how they run them- to that I say.. mind your bidness..
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
~K’yanna fine af Barber
Going back to hair omg, Ik she didn’t start it, but ever since she posted this first style I’ve seen it everywhere, but also I do believe Leo Risings can be major trend setters
They can be into having meaningful/cute tattoos lol, tattooing things or people that they put a lot of pride into, things that they deem as worthy of being in “their world”
My dad is Leo Rising, he has my moms lips 💋 and name tatted on his arm, so cute
Bc of their Scorpio 4th house they. Don’t. Play. about 4th house matters such as family, their past, anything that usually feels deeply nurturing to them.. if you betray them by speaking ill on these matters, it would be very hard for them to ‘forgive and forget’
Tbh if I’m thinking about nakshatras, for tropical Leo, usually ends up being Pushya, Aslesha, or Magha, that just makes me think about all the other people that can fall under this very alluring energy lol
I love love Leo Risings 🦁 as a Sag rising, tell me what y’all love about them, 🫶🏽

“What good did love do, Doctor? When did it ever help?”
So I spent last week at my parent’s house finally pulling off the surprise birthday party I’d been planning for months for my mother and I was there for farrrrr too long and I ate waaaay too much and I only had six days from when I got home to get my head right and ready to start a new job after nine effing months of doing nothing. 
I’m starting on Monday and I’m super anxious about it, and everyone is posting about what’s going on with Doctor Who so obviously I decided to let Ruby and 15 turn my brain off for a bit, it’s the least they can do. Maybe that was a mistake, because woooooof y’all. I’m devastated that the season is already over. 
And as such, we def need to talk about both of these episodes at the same time. 
The Legend of Ruby Sunday / Empire of Death
Wherein, The Doctor and Ruby show up to UNIT to finally ask about the old woman they keep running into on their adventures, and immediately very purposefully fall into a trap. 
I have to say, as much as I love 15, baby boy has NOT been very observant this season. He’s caught up in having fun and showing his feelings and all of that is fantastic and beautiful but if this had been 10 or 11 they would have been mulling over this situation the entirety of the season and I probably wouldn’t feel so much like I just got whiplash. 
Like, the internet has been telling me to think about this random ass lady, instead of seeing the Doctor trying to puzzle her out in his downtime. And that’s the first time I’ve really thought to myself, ‘this is incredibly unlike the doctor.’ But we’re going to let it slide, because he’s otherwise charmed the pants off of me.
There was a lot I was definitely about in these episodes, in no particular order - 
OBVIOUSLY, the Rose / Ruby bonding. Absolutely adorable. They immediately gravitated to each other and I love that. It’s so sweet. And I’ll take ANY scrap of 14 I can get, but 15 asking ‘how’s your uncle?’ really made me greedy for more. Couldn’t my girl Rose given like, even the smallest cute little anecdote? Like ‘oh, he’s really into gardening right now…’ or something? Gimme like, even the littlest bit. I neeeed it. But fine. 
15’s outfits. I’ve loved all of the stuff they’ve put him in all season but HELLO that leather jacket and the cozy sweater he had on in the mish mash TARDIS? Gorgeous. Beautiful. I want to buy it right now.
Also, the mish mash TARDIS itself, and the little kiss 15 gives it at one point. Love all the random throwbacks inside that little thing even if I don’t know most of them because no, I never went back and watched the original seasons, so sue me. I’m pretty sure I spotted 11’s little scanner tv thing though, and I love that. I miss Matt Smith. 
And the Doctor lashing out and punching the wall and huffing and puffing and screaming and then Mel giving him a kick in the ass. I’m going to keep talking about how I love that 15 is actually okay with showing his feelings, but I do think he got too lost in them. We all been there, boo. But like, you heard that sick TARDIS sound (that’s going to haunt my dreams) and you were just like ‘oh I’ve heard that before’? BOY you are so distracted. 
Anyway, I’m vaguely aware there’s background on Sutekh that I should probably google if I want to fully understand the situation, but I’m not gonna do it. I accept that it’s the god of death and the doctor fought it once and banished it to the time vortex, but I have to say, I find the rest of the storyline a little bit weird. It hitched a ride on the TARDIS and traveled with the Doctor for basically untold amounts of time and no one ever noticed? And it’s appearance is NOT related to 14 casting that salt at the end of the universe, even though it was pretty clear that the rest of the random god appearances were? 
I guess I’m willing to accept all of that, but gang. Here’s the thing. After all of that time traveling around and watching the Doctor do what he does (and admittedly trying to sabotage him by planting harbingers? I guess? Wherever they went?) you’re still not going to kill him right off when you finally hatch your plot? You KNOW he gets out of things. You know he literally gets out of everything. You’ve watched him wiggle his way out of shit because his adversaries have given him an inch but you’re like ‘it’s fine, that won’t be me, because I REALLY need to know who this random human’s mother is?’ 
Nah. Nah nah nah. Like, maybe if you had really tried to kill him and he got out of it, I’d be like, ‘okay fine’ but that death cloud was half-assed and they beat it on like, a moped. 
If we’re going with real scary gods that have literally the power of basically everything, I’m gonna want their actions to make sense. 
I also have to admit that when the Doctor was monologuing about how the whole thing was his fault, when he said about all of the things he’s done “I thought it was fun”, I found myself thinking about how he really has been playing a game of his own devising and maybe he…shouldn’t. And it felt like maybe he thought that, too. Like, when is it gonna be enough for him? 
The point is, It’s super sweet that Ruby got to figure her shit out, they got me I cried at all of that, but the whole thing did feel a little disjointed to me. Which is fine, because now I’m sitting here like, ‘yo I need more’ but there isn’t more, not for forever, and clearly that’s how they get you. The arch wasn’t a cliff hanger really but also it kind of was and I’m unsatisfied. Maybe that’s the point. 
And I do now agree with Tumblr that the most interesting thing in all of this is how 14 and Donna reacted to the death cloud, and their reconstitution, and the realization that Rose was at UNIT during the entire thing - that’s going to occupy my brain for a really long time.
At the end of the day, eight episodes was not enough. But I’m SO  endeared to 15 and I love the direction the show is going, haters can hate all they want but Doctor Who was always weird and it was always for outcasts and it’s beautiful and stupid and silly and wonderful. Wonderful and perfectly imperfect. 
Friends, this season came at a time I really needed it. I'm thankful it helped me through my forced work hiatus, it's part of the tapestry that kept me going. And that's the good that love does. Doctor Who, I love you.

hi friends! 🧡
idk if anyone will actually read this, but i just wanted to pop in and say hi because i know i’ve been super MIA as of late! i don’t normally talk about my personal life much on here, so i’m not gonna go too deep into it, but honestly it’s been a rough few weeks/month for me.
i have a chronic illness that’s been flaring up recently, so physically i’ve not been feeling the greatest, and my mental health has also been suffering because of that along a few other stressors i’ve got going on right now, and my anxiety has been pretty awful. to top that all off, my dad was also just in the hospital for two days (he’s okay now!! 🥹), so this week has been stressful as hell!
so, i’ve been giving myself a very much needed break to be with my family and take some time to take care of myself and prioritize my mental health, hence why i haven’t been very active on here, and probably still won’t be for the next few days
to anyone who’s sent me any asks or DMs, or tagged me in any tag games or anything recently, i promise i see them and i will get to them! i love and miss all of my lovely friends and moots here so much, and i can’t wait to be back and interacting with y’all, and get back to reading all of your amazing fics (and hopefully getting something of my own posted soon too 😬). sending everyone lots of love, i’ll be back real soon! 🤍🤍

Arthur Morgan NSFT Headcanons
No pronouns and only a few lines referencing a specific anatomy but what is there is afab-
NSFT under the cut, obvs lol
Okay so I think we’re all on the same page about this man’s Definite Praise Kink-
He likes to give and receive, but I think he’s more into implicit praise when he’s on the receiving end ?
The involuntary jerk of your hips when he grinds the heel of his palm into your clit, the whines and moans you can’t stifle while he rocks into you (hard but so, so slow - he loves taking his time), the way you twitch and buck against his face when he makes you cum with just his mouth-
He doesn’t handle explicit, verbal praise very well - the same way he can’t take compliments, or shows of appreciation in general
He’s flustered beyond belief but all he can really focus on is the voice in his head denying everything you say - he much prefers actually seeing how much you like what he’s doing
He’ll give plenty of implicit praise as well (I KNOW this man grunts, groans, maybe even Whines) but he mostly just Won’t Stop Talking
Praise, instructions, smart remarks if you’re being a tease - he can’t keep his mouth shut when you’re together like this
It’s great every time, obviously - but it’s Best when you’ve got to keep quiet, and he’s got his face buried in your neck, sucking bruises into the sensitive flesh and whispering absolutely Filthy things in your ear anytime he comes up for air
SPEAKING OF HICKEYS
I’ve seen some mixed opinions on this but I am a Firm believer that this man loves leaving marks
Maybe not in places that are super visible, but it gets him so incredibly hot and bothered when he can just barely see one of the hickeys he left the previous night poking out from under the collar of your shirt
(Honestly even just the knowledge that you’ve got them and no one else gets to see them,,, he’s creaming his jeans man idk what to tell you)
I’ve mentioned this before but I’ll say it again - before you get together he is Absolutely the type to masturbate while thinking of you, and he is So Embarrassed (and a little guilty) Every Time
He can’t interact with you in the mornings because it’s so fresh in his mind and he can’t even make eye contact without blushing all the way to the tips of his ears-
And he tells himself he won’t do it again but GOD you’re just,,, You- and he can’t stop finding new things about you that get him so unbelievably horny !!!
He does this even after you’re together, when there are nights where you’re apart - but he’s,, a lot less shy about it
It’s not as satisfying as the real deal, if anything it just makes him crave you even more - and he’ll be sure to let you know
He’s using your reunion hug as an opportunity to whisper in your ear, telling you all about the things he did in y’all’s tent while you were gone, everything he thought about, everything he missed about you
He’s almost immediately asking if you’ve got anything you need to do right now, because if not he’s sure that camp could use some more meat, maybe you two should go on a little ‘hunting trip’

Harry Styles Imagine: College AU! College Visit
Tumblr media
A.N.: I write what I know. I am a music education major with a theater minor. I’m sorry if this makes it hard for you to imagine yourself in this scenario. Please do not leave me any hate. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. Thank you :) 
Warnings: 6 year age gap, reader is a college student, music and theater education major, reader is in choir and theater, and is currently in two productions
“H, are you sure that you, and your family, want to spend the day here at school with me?” I ask Harry over the phone, for probably the millionth time since he told me he was coming to see me while school was in session. “I’ve told you a million times, I can just skip classes and choir that day. They will understand.”
“Love, I’ve told you a million times, I want to see what your everyday life is like. And with having the day off before going back on tour, and my mom wanting to see you again, I can’t imagine a better way to spend the day. Besides, I’ve always wanted to sit in on a college class.”
“Okay, fine. You’re lucky you’ll be here on a day I don’t have a lot of classes. Imagine if you were going to be here on a two rehearsal day,” I say with a chuckle, and he chuckles in response knowing that my days are almost as busy on the same level as his. 
“Mondays really are your tame days, aren’t they?” he replies, and I can tell he is laughing. 
“Shut up. I’m already at the hotel, since you booked it under my name, that way you don’t have to check in, you can just come to the backdoor. My car is back there, and I left the driver door unlocked with the room keys in the console. Same for Jeff and Mitch, Sarah, and bubs. You’ll get here at 8 tonight?”
“Yeah, darling, Mum, Gem, and I will get there at 8 tonight. Jeff, Sarah, and Mitch as well. And of course they’ll have bubs with them. I think Jeff and the two of them mentioned they wanted to come to your choir rehearsal, if you don’t think that will cause too much of a problem,” he adds, knowing that it might cause a problem. 
“Um, no. It shouldn’t, at least. I’ve talked to both of my directors, and since it’s been out there since the summer that we are together they kind of figured it would happen at some point. The choir director already had me share about it on Friday, and then he is going to send out a reminder text in the morning. The choir is amazing at being focused, so I really don’t think y’all being there will cause any problems. And everyone at play rehearsal has known for weeks that you would be here tomorrow. The only problem I can see is with my focus, because I only have 36 hours with you,” and I say, sighing. “I’m really sorry I can’t be there for your birthday. I just can’t miss that test.”
“I know baby, I know. And I’m not upset at all. I’m glad we at least get this day together.”
“Yeah, but I feel like I should make it out for your birthday show. I don’t know. Maybe I can leave right after my test on Tuesday and drive out. I think my other teacher for that day would be super understanding. And then I could stay with you and come back after the Grammys,” I tell him, because I already had plans to attend the Grammys with him, I just wasn't going to walk the carpet. “Wait, you don't have another show until the Brit Awards on the 11th. Where are you going after the Grammys? You’ll have like four days off-ish. ” I asked him, realizing he had never told me where he was going until the Australian leg of the tour started. 
“Well, as you know my mum and Gemma are actually heading out after our visit with you, they’re leaving Monday night, right after your rehearsal. We have to head out to Englnd to make sure we’re there in time for rehearsals, since I’m also performing at the Brit’s.. I’m looking at Jeff’s GPS and it says we’re about two hours away from the hotel, so I’m going to hang up so you can study and finish up your homework before we get there. Do you want me to pick up take out on my way in?”
“No, unless you want some. I stocked the room with groceries since I knew, besides coming to my school, which is super small and no one will see you besides the people who have already signed NDA’s, we would be in the hotel room. Also, I stocked your mom and Gemma’s room, and the other’s rooms as well.”
“Darling you didn’t have to do that. I could have sent security to the store or something,” he tells me, and I can hear the stress in his voice. 
“No, really, it was no big deal. It wasn’t as much as I’m making it sound, because there is room service, and the really good Chinese take out place is right down the street from the hotel, so I can just pop out and get it.”
“I’m paying you back,” he says, and I know I will never win this argument, so I just sigh. “Now, go study and do homework. I’ll be there before you know it. I love you.”
“I love you too H. See you soon,” I say, and pull the phone away from my ear as he hangs up. Two short hours. I can handle two short hours. I stood up from where I had been sitting on the bed and crossed to the desk where I had  already laid out all of the materials needed set out, my study music already playing from where it left off when I first got the call from Harry. I picked up my music history book, and flipped it open to the page I was supposed to start reading on. It didn’t take long before I was lost in the world of music history, reading about Bach and Handel. It took about 20 minutes for me to finish  reading, before I closed that book and opened the next one. This time I had to read and write a response, so I knew it would take longer. 
After about an hour, I closed that book and my laptop, now finished with homework and not sure what to do. I decided to pick up my phone and look through my social media. 
Right before the news broke about Harry and I, I made all of my social media private, so that only the people in life that I trusted were given an insight into my life with him. I already rarely used social media, besides using snapchat to send updates to friends, so it wasn’t hard to make sure no one was on it. I decided to open snapchat, and saw that I had an unopened picture from Harry that I hadn’t noticed had been delivered. I quickly open it and see a super dorky picture of him in the car, with Gemma making a stupid face behind him. I laughed, and then snapped a picture of myself and sent it to him, after writing a message that said I had finished homework and was just waiting. 
After a few minutes of waiting for him to reply, I got bored and restless, and turned on the television, just flipping to some random channel that had a movie playing, and then sat down on the couch provided in the room. The sitting soon turned to laying, and the laying turned to hanging upside down because I’m just so restless that I couldn’t sit in one position for too long. I was sitting like that when I heard the key beep in the door, and then the door creak open. 
“Love?” I heard from my spot on the couch, and scrambled to move, which just caused me to fall on the floor, because I am nothing if not clumsy. 
“I’m in here,” I say, as I make it to my feet and as I spin to face the doorway, he steps in. “Harry,” I say his name like it’s my last saving grace, and it’s just a sigh that falls through my lips, and I run to him, jumping into his arms as he opens them, wrapping my legs around his waist. 
“Hi darling,” he says as he holds me, before pulling me into a kiss. When he pulls away the two of us just stare at each other, being happy just to see the other's face, after not seeing each other since Christmas. I drop my legs from around him, and he sets me down on the floor, still with our arms wrapped around each other. After a minute, he laughs and says “Did you fall when I walked in?” and I shove him away, also laughing. 
“Yes, don’t make fun of me,” I say, and pout my lips, like a little toddler. 
“Oh, darling,” he says and walks back towards me. “I’m not making fun of you, I just wanted to know if I needed to check for injuries,” he says, and wraps his arms around me again, kissing the pout right off, because when his hands, or any part of his body, is on me, I’m all smiles. Especially since it’s been a month since I saw him last. We stand there just exchanging small pecks and smiles back and forth for an unknown (to us) amount of time, happy to be together again. However, there is always someone that comes along to interrupt, and low and behold after some time, there was a knock on our hotel room door. I giggle and pull back from Harry as he groans, and turn to go to the door. He, however, has different plans, and only allows me to turn around in his arms, keeping them tight around my stomach, and pulling back as I try to walk to the door. 
“Harry!” I exclaim with a laugh, “let me go get the door. It’s probably your mom and sister, and I miss them too.”
“Not as much as you miss me though. Don’t let them in. Let it just be us for a little longer,” he says, tucking his face into my neck and kissing the place that he knows will make me weak in the knees. 
“No!” I exclaim with another laugh. “I’m coming!” I shout to the door, knowing that whoever is on the other side can hear everything that is happening. When he finally lets go of my waist, I stumble forward, and almost fall, but then he catches me, spins us so he’s the one at the door, and whips the door open. I run up behind him, rest my chin on his shoulder, and smile widely at the five people standing in front of us. “Hey guys!” I say with a smile, and pull Harry out of the way so that they can all enter the room. They all say hello and give me a hug as they walk by, after I shove Harry out of the way so I can hug Sarah. I hug Anne the longest, because she has become a mother to me. She and I wrap our arm around each other, and walk into the “living room” of the hotel room, and she kisses the top of my head before letting me go and playfully pushing me towards Harry, who is now pouting on the couch. I go and sit on his lap, sideways, with my legs hanging off the other side of him, and he wraps his arms tightly around my waist as I curl my arms around his shoulders. He gives me a quick kiss and we just sit there looking at each other while everyone else talks, in our own little world. At least, until Jeff says my name. 
“Y/N,” he says, and my head whips in his direction, fully intending to turn my attention to him. “What time is the first class that you have to be at tomorrow?”
“Well, I figured since Harry is only interested in my music classes I would skip my 9 am, which would make my first class be at 10:45. And the school is only like ten minutes from here, so Harry and I wouldn’t need to leave until 10:30. I figured I could drive us since my car is here, and then everyone else can drive to campus for choir at 12.”
“Okay great, and after that?”
“Well, choir is at 12, like I just said, but I’ll have like a 20 minute break between the end of class and the start of choir, so I thought I would bring Harry back to my apartment to see my roommate that isn’t in choir, and then we would head back over for choir.”
“I want to see your apartment,” Anne jumps in, and that makes me remember that she had mentioned it before. 
“Oh, yeah. Well, I’ll have an hour break after choir before my technical theater class, so you guys could come over then. Harry mentioned he also wanted to go to that class, so I thought he would and then we could come back to the hotel for a few hours before I have rehearsal. Who all is making an appearance at rehearsal?”
“I think we all wanted to go to that,” Sarah says, looking around the room. 
“Yeah,” Gemma jumps in, “it’s not everyday that you get to see your little brother’s girlfriend acting on a stage.”
I blush, saying “I’m nowhere near as good as Harry though. And it’s kind of a sad show. Are you sure?” They all nod their heads in response, and I blush even more. “Okay, when Harry and I see the director in tech theater I’ll let him know that everyone will be there.” 
“And everyone who will be at anything tomorrow signed the group NDA that I sent?” Jeff asks, and Harry rolls his eyes. I smack him on the arm, reprimanding him.
“Don’t roll your eyes Harry, it’s important,” I say, before turning my attention back to Jeff, “Yeah, they all signed it last week. Anyone who didn’t want to was excused from choir for the day. It’s just going to be a bunch of review, nothing new. But I think y’all will still enjoy it. I mean, it's nothing like you’ve been in or have seen a lot of, of course. Just plain old college students prepping for our semester concert. You’ll probably think it’s boring,” I say, knowing that I at times think it’s boring. Harry tightens his hold on me, and shakes his head. 
“I don’t think it will be boring. In fact, I think it will be quite fun. Like you said, it’s not what we experience often, which is what will make it fun. Now, now that we’ve talked all this out, will you lot please go to your own rooms so I can have some alone time with my girlfriend, who I will remind you, has not seen me since Christmas, and after this week won’t see me again for another month, until her spring break?” he asks, with a smile on his face, but they all know that he isn’t joking. Jeff shakes his head, before standing up. 
“Yeah, I guess we can. C’mon Mitch, Sarah,” he says, and they both stand up and head towards the door. 
“See y’all tomorrow!” I shout towards them, and the three of them turn and wave back at me. Gemma and Anne stand up after the others leave. 
“Well, we’re tired, so we’ll let you guys be as well,” Anne says, and I stand up to give them both a hug goodnight. “Love you, both of you,” Anne says as I hug her, and I squeeze her a little tighter when she says it. Harry also stands to give his mom and sister a hug, and then follows them to the door.  As he shows them out I head into the bedroom and grab my pajamas from where I had laid them on the bed earlier, and turn to head towards the bathroom, to do my nightly routine. 
“Where’d you go?” I hear him shout from the living room, and I laugh because as clingy as he is I really missed it when we weren’t able to be together. 
“In here,” I shout, leaning out the bathroom door, before ducking back in and continuing to tie my hair back, so that I could wash my face without getting hair in the middle of it. Just as I finish tying my hair back he comes into the bathroom and wraps his arms around me. 
“I wanted to cuddle,” he says with a pout, before leaning down and kissing my shoulder. I place my hands over his arms where they are resting on my stomach, and meet his eyes in the mirror, laughing. 
“I need to wash my face. We both know we will go lay down to cuddle and won’t get back up again until the morning, and with the Grammys coming up I cannot afford any breakouts, so I have to do my skin care,” I explain as I look at his pouting face.
“Does that mean you changed your mind and you will walk the carpet with me?”
“It means I’m considering it, but I’m not making any promises. Now, can I wash my face?”
“Can I do it?” he asks me, turning me in his arms so that I am facing him rather than the sink.
“Can you do it without getting soap in my eyes?” I ask him, because we have been in this position before and he has fully gotten soap in my eyes. He nods vigorously, and I give in, handing him the soap. He places it on the counter next to us and lifts me up onto the counter before stepping in between my legs and grabbing a wash rag. He spends the next ten minutes doing my skincare routine, and when he is done he steps back to admire his handiwork. 
“Beautiful.”
I laugh before saying, “yeah, okay. Can we go lay down and cuddle now?” and he picks me up from the counter and taps my legs to have me wrap them around his waist before he carries me into the bedroom. He sets me down on the bed, and then slips his clothes off before slipping into bed next to me in his boxers. Once he settles he reaches his arm out for me, and I curl up next to him as we fall asleep. 
The next morning I wake up to a knocking on the door, and gently slip out of Harry’s arms and rub my eyes as I walk towards the door. I look through the peephole before opening the door, and groan when I see Jeff standing there with three coffees in his hand.
“Jeff. what the heck,” I say with a groan when I open the door. “We don’t have to leave for another… what time is it?”
“8,” he replies with a little laugh.
“Another two and a half hours. Why are you here?”
“I brought coffee,” he says, shoving the one I know is meant for me towards my face. “It’s a peace offering, because I need to talk about some business stuff with H for a bit.” At that I roll my eyes before responding. 
“You get to wake him up. I’m taking my coffee and taking a shower,” I say, and open the door far enough to let him in, before dropping it and slowly walking back to the bedroom, before beelining for the shower. I take my time in the shower, hoping that by the time I get out they will be done with whatever business they needed to talk about this morning. I’ve just gotten to rinsing my hair for the final time, when Harry knocks on the bathroom door. 
“Love, Jeff left. So you can finish up and get out, if that’s what you were waiting for. Also I grabbed the clothes you had set out last night. You forgot them when you came in here this morning.”
“Thanks H. I’ll be out in a minute,” I say, as I switch the water off and reach for my towel. I dry off and get dressed fairly quickly, because I am unaware of exactly how much time I spent in the shower, and I’m not sure if H is going to shower this morning. “Hey, babe, what time is it?” I ask as I walk into the bedroom, with the tail end of the coffee Jeff had gotten me in my hand.
“Uh, 9:45. When did you say the two of us need to leave?” 
“10:30. Were you going to shower this morning?” 
“Yeah, but it won’t take me long. I’m going to go hop in now,” he says, and as he walks by me he grabs my face for a quick kiss. I laugh as he pulls away, and playfully smack his ass. 
“Go get in the shower. I’ll still be here when you get out. In fact, I'll probably be drinking an energy drink, since last night was such a late night and then Azoff so kindly woke me up with his knocking on the door,” I say with a roll of my eyes. 
“I already sent Jeff to get you another one. He should bring it soon. I sent him to get it as he left because I knew you would want another one. I know you darling,” he says, and then closes the bathroom door to shower. I sit down on the edge of the bed and put on my shoes, before chugging the end of my coffee and then flop back on the bed. I’m probably lying there for a grand total of two minutes before there is another knock on the door. I stand and walk to the door, open it without looking, and hold my hand out for the coffee. 
“Thank you Jeffrey,” I say, and close the door. “See you later!” I shout, knowing he is still standing out there, and with a quick look through the peephole I see him shaking his head at me. I laugh and head back into the bedroom to wait for Harry, but when I get back in there he is already in the room, and as I walk in he is pulling his sweat pants up. “Ya know? I like you better without the pants.”
Harry laughs at me, and turns to face me. “And I like you better without the clothes you have on right now. But we have to get you to school, Miss college student,” he says as he crosses the room and pulls me into his arms. 
“I know, I know. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t a college student because then I could go on tour with you.”
“Yeah, me too. But I know that you wouldn't be content just sitting on a tour bus all the time. Which is why I force you to do your homework and pass your classes, because you and I both know that you don’t just want to be a trophy wife. And I want you to be happy,” he says, and then lifts my chin and pulls me into a kiss. After we pull away we just sit there looking at each other, because neither of us wants to end this moment. Unfortunately, there is a knock on the door, and Harry begrudgingly pulls away to go answer the door. As he walks towards the door, he says over his shoulder, “tonight, it will be just us, and we will explore this no-clothes idea.” I laugh as he opens the door to his Mum and Gemma standing in the hall. “You guys are up early,” he states. 
“Well, Mum wanted to see what the clothing vibe for today was, since it's been a bit since she was on a university campus,” Gemma says as she walks into the room, spots the coffee in my hand, and holds her hand out for a sip. 
“You won’t like it,” I say as I hand it to her, knowing that we have two completely different coffee tastes.  She takes a sip anyway and immediately makes a face and shoves the drink back to me. Anne and Harry laugh as I say, “told ya,” with a smirk on my face. She playfully smacks me, and then turns back to the conversation. “Nothing formal. You’re just coming to watch the choir rehearse. No big deal. It’s college. No one dresses nice unless they have to. This is what I’m wearing,” I say and motion towards my outfit. They both nod their head, and as they do so I wrap my arms around Harry from behind, and rest my chin on his shoulder. “H and I need to leave soon, so did y’all have anything else you needed?”
“Oh, right. I forgot the two of you were leaving before everyone else,” Anne tells us, and begins to head for the door. “We will see the two of you later then,” she says and then the two of them duck out the door, and it closes behind them. 
“Well,” I say, stepping around Harry so I’m facing him. “I think we should head out soon. Give my classmates, all three of them, time to fawn over you before class starts, so that by the time class starts they’re over it,” I say with a laugh, and he pulls me into him, and digs his face into my neck.
“They won’t really do that will they?” he mumbles, and I pull back to get a good look at him. 
“Um, I can for sure say that Nat won’t, because she’s my best friend. As for the other two, I’m not sure. I honestly think choir might be worse. But, every single one of them has signed an NDA so at the very least nothing will be leaked and we won’t be swarmed by paparazzi.” He just nods and pulls me back into him, kissing me gently. 
“I’m excited to finally meet Nat in person. She’s like all you talk about,” he says, laughing. 
“Well she thinks that you’re all I talk about. It’s going to be hilarious how much the two of you already know about each other because of me.” He just laughs again, before pulling away and grabbing my hand, leading me out the door and to the car. He opens the driver side door for me, and kisses me one more time after I get in before shutting it and crossing to the other side of the car and getting in the passenger side. My phone immediately connects to the bluetooth, and starts playing the last thing I had listened to in the car, which just so happened to be Harry’s House. I whip my head to the side and look at Harry, and we both just crack up. I hand him my phone so he can change it, and after a minute or two he changes it simply to my road trip playlist, even though this is only a 15 minute drive. He turns it down, and we chat the whole way to campus. When we get to campus I park outside of the building we are heading to, and we just sit there in silence for a moment. 
“This is going to be great. You get to learn a little music history,” I say and unbuckle my seatbelt and turn to him, “and meet my mentor, and my best friend. All in one class period. And then we get a 20 minute break before choir.” He leans across the console and grabs my face in his hands, and pulls me in for a kiss. “Are you nervous?” I ask as we pull apart. 
“Uh, yeah. But not too bad. Mostly about meeting Nat, like I said before,” he says, looking at his lap sheepishly. 
“She’ll love you,” I say, before leaning across the console and kissing him again. “We need to go in though. Will you grab my backpack out of the back? I’ll grab our cups,” I ask, and he nods, opening his door and getting out. I open my door and then grab our cups, before stepping out of the car. We clasp our hands together, and make the short walk to the building my class is in, and when we enter I give him a little tour. “Here are the practice rooms, here is the lab, with our book cubbies and computers. And this is the Piano teacher’s office/classroom.” We turn and walk down the hallway until we enter the small classroom that my class is held in. “And this is the classroom. Everyone should be here soon. I sit here, you can sit in the chair I usually put my bag in,” I tell him as I pull out the chair for him, and let him cross behind me before pulling my own chair out and sitting down. “So, what do you think of the building so far?” I ask, turning to face him when I finished digging my book out of my bag and set it on the table. 
“It’s small. I mean, I knew it was small, but it’s tiny,” he says, emphasizing the tiny. I laugh, and go to respond, but as I do that someone walks through the door.
“Nat!” I exclaim and wave for her to come sit down. “This is Harry, as you know,” I tell her with a small chuckle. 
“Oh yeah,” she says, also laughing, “I’ve heard a lot about you,” she tells him.
“And I you,” he says with a smile. The two sit and talk, while I just smile and listen, happy that the people I am closest to have finally met. Before long the other two people in the class trickle in, and finally the teacher. He plops his book down on the table, before holding his hand out for Harry to shake. Harry stands and reaches across the table to shake his hand. 
“I’m Dr. Percival, but they call me Dr. P, and you can as well,” he says as he shakes Harry's hand, and drops it before continuing. “And I’d assume that you are the infamous Harry that Y/N can’t shut up about?” he says with a teasing smile.
“That’s me,” Harry says with a smile as he sits back down. I push the book  in between Harry and I  so that he can follow along as well, and hand him one of my purple pens to mark in the book whenever needed. 
“He’s not going to distract you, is he Y/N?” 
“No, it’ll be fine. I do my homework with him all the time,” I  say with a slight chuckle, and everyone else chuckles as well. Dr. P nods his head, and then dives into the book. Throughout the class period both Harry and I make many marks in the book as the class goes on. At the end of class, Dr. P closes his book and turns to Harry. 
“I hope you enjoyed that Harry. You seemed to be pretty into it,” he says with a smile in Harry’s direction.
“It was very interesting,” Harry replies, smiling back at the professor. 
“You’re joining us to visit in choir, right?”
“Uh, yeah. Along with my Mum and sister, and my manager and two best friends slash bandmates,” Harry says with a laugh. 
“Well, I will see you then. Enjoy your little break everyone,” Dr. P says as he heads out the door. As he leaves, you, Harry, and Nat all stand up. 
“I think we’re,” I  motion to Harry and myself, “going to run back to my apartment so I can eat a snack before choir,” I finish, and then grab Harry’s hand to pull him with me. Nat waves goodbye, and I head out the door with Harry in tow. The two of us walk in silence on the short walk to my building, our joined hands swinging in between the two of us. When we get back to my apartment, I drop his hand, and walk over to the kitchen cabinet. “Want a snack?” I ask him as I fished around in the cabinet for the snack I was  looking for. 
“Yeah, come here,” he says from where he was standing. 
“Um, the snacks are over here doofus. How am I supposed to get us a snack if I’m over there?” I respond, and then grab what I was looking for, turning to look at him, the snacks in  hand. I walk over to him as I open my snack and take a bite, waving the one for him in front of his face. “See, now I can come over here,” I say around the bite of food I have in my mouth, swallowing as I hand him his.  He laughs, taking the food from my hand, and then pulls me into him. He leans down and kisses me deeply, before pulling away and taking a bite of the open granola bar in my hand. “Hey!” I exclaim in response as he opens his own granola bar. “You owe me a bite of that. And what was up with the kiss?”
“I like watching you in your element, like you were in that class. And how carefree you were as we walked over here. I never feel like I can be carefree, unless I’m with you. Then it feels as though it’s just the two of us,” he says, wrapping his free arm around my waist as we both snack on our granola bars. I finish first, and just stare off into the distance as I stand there, thinking about what he just said. 
“At first, when we first shared our relationship, I was always on edge walking around campus, because you never know who is watching, and what is going to be turned into a magazine or something. But then I decided I don’t deserve to live on the edge, so now I don’t care. And you shouldn't either, Babe. people are going to say what they want to say, and there’s nothing you can do about it. And this campus is a safe space, there’s no need to be worried here,” I tell him, and then I completely wrap myself up in him. We just stand there in a hug for a minute, before he speaks up. 
“I’ll do my best to be carefree the rest of the day here. I can tell that it’s a safe space,” he tells me, and then places a kiss on the top of my head. We stand there for a bit longer, but then I pull away. 
“We have to get to my choir rehearsal,” I say as I grab his hand and begin to pull him to the door. We hold hands again on the way to the rehearsal hall, walking in silence again. As we walk I see the other choir members being to trickle into the rehearsal building, and I watch as a few of them notice the two of us walking across campus. As we get to the building, we walk in, and I immediately see Anne and Gemma, and Jeff, Sarah, and Mitch. Sarah is holding the little guy, and as soon as he sees me and Harry he reaches out for me. I laugh and drop Harry’s hand, grabbing the little guy from Sarah. “I can’t hold you the entire time little one,” I say to him as I carry him down the hall, and just assume that everyone is following me. “But I can hold you for now.” The seven of us arrive at the end of the hallway, and Jeff opens the door for all of us, and I walk in first, with the others walking in behind me. Dr. P sees me as we walk in, and, after telling the others where they can sit, pulls me aside for a second. 
“Would you be okay making a little announcement, just kind of introducing everyone to the choir? I want this to be as normal of a rehearsal as possible, and I think that might help a little,” he says to me, and I respond with a “one second,” before walking over to the group sitting at the only table in the room. 
“Jeff, H, would it be okay if I make an announcement? Maybe each of you will introduce yourself shortly? Dr. P thinks that might be the best way to have as close to a normal rehearsal as possible.” Jeff and H look at each other, having one of their silent conversations, and then turn back to me. 
“Yeah, I think that will work,” Jeff says to me, and I thank him, before heading back over to Dr. P. I tell him that they said it would be okay, and he thanks me before turning to answer a student that had a question. I walk back over to the six of them, and hand the little guy to Sarah, before crossing back to Dr. P as he gets everyone’s attention. Once he does, he tells them that I have an announcement, and then points to me, before sitting in his chair for a moment. 
“Hey guys,” I start with a little chuckle. “As you can tell, we have some guests here. Um, I know everyone knows who they are, especially since everyone in here is a huge music person, but they’re going to shortly introduce themselves. One thing that I ask is that you treat them like you would treat any other visitors we have. They’re like my family, and are just here for a short visit to see what my everyday life is like,” I finish. Then I walk over to Jeff, who is sitting on the end, walk behind, and hover my hand over his head. “First is…” I trail off, and Jeff takes over, introducing himself. I then hover my hand over each of them, and end with Harry at the other end. 
“I’m Harry,” he says, and you think he is done, but he keeps going. “I appreciate you guys allowing us to be here today, and just treating us like normal people, because, although we are famous, we're still people. I’m excited to hear the music you all create,” he says, and then he looks up at you, signaling that he’s done. 
“Again, thank you guys for being normal and treating them like they are real people, because they are. Back to you Dr. P,” I say, and then go and stand in my spot on our risers. He thanks me for doing that, and then starts our rehearsal like normal. 
The rehearsal winds up being exactly like normal, until after it’s over. It’s then, as I pick up my binder to go put it away, that I notice a line has formed in front of Harry and the others. I drop what I’m holding and run over there. 
“What the heck y’all? You were doing so good at acting like it was normal. What are you doing?” I screech as I get over there and stand in front of Harry and the first person in line, blocking him from them with my body. 
“You never said we couldn’t get autographs after rehearsal,” James, the guy at the front of the line states. 
“Yeah, because it goes without saying. Shoo. He’s not here for your entertainment. So leave him, and everyone else alone!” I shout, and then Dr. P whistles to get everyone’s attention. 
“Everyone, away from Y/N’s guests. We agreed to treat them like normal, and this is not treating them like normal. Everyone put your stuff away and go to your next class. Now!” he tells them, in the voice that makes all of them aware of how serious he is. Slowly, they all turn and put their stuff away and head out the door. After everyone is gone I turn and wrap my arms around Harry’s waist, and bury my face in his neck. 
“I’m so sorry. I thought they would be fine. I never thought they would do that,” I mumble into his neck, and he whispers an “Its okay,” into the top of my head as he rests his head there and wraps his arms around me. 
“I’m sorry everyone. They will be getting a very firm speech tomorrow. Heaven forbid they act like celebrities are just people,” Dr. P says, looking from one person to the other.  “And since James was the leader of the pack I will be calling him into my office to have a conversation. Again, I’m sorry. Have a good rest of your day everyone,” he finishes, and then leaves the room. None of us move, and I think that they don’t move simply because I am not moving. 
When I finally pull away from Harry, I shoot a small smile towards the others. 
“I’m really sorry you guys.  I expected them to be able to act like normal. If y’all don’t want to come to the rehearsal tonight, I understand.”
“No, we’re coming,” Harry butts in. “You've told me yourself that the cast is really small, and they're all your good friends, so I do not expect them to behave like the choir did. It will be fine. Everyone that was planning on coming to rehearsal, which I think was only me and… wait, no. We were all coming. Sarah, Mitch, Jeff, if you don’t want to come then that’s fine. But, Mum, Gemma, I really want you to be there, and Y/N won’t say it, but she also wants you to be there.” I watch the thoughts cross everyone’s minds, and then Sarah pipes up.
“I still want to come. I mean, you’re really close to production, right?” I nod my head, and then Sarah starts speaking again. “When will we get another chance to see Y/N in a show? We’re always touring, and when we aren't we’re all in our own homes, towns, so on. So, I will be going. And if I go Mitch will. So, Jeff, you’re the only one still debating. C’mon. After next week Mitch and I are taking a break, and everyone else will be in Australia.”
“Yeah Jeff,” I say, looking at him. “When else will you get to see me be the lead?” I ask, with a tilt of my head and the look Harry has named my “puppy dog” face, because I use it at any moment where I want something. In fact, that look is part of the reason Harry and the team had come to visit.
“Fine. You have a point,” Jeff says, and then playfully shoves me. “Now drop the puppy dog look. You got your way,” he says with a smile. Everyone gives a little cheer, and then I clap my hands together to get their attention. 
“Okay, y’all wanted to see my apartment, and due to our little kerfuffle and then conversation we now have only…” I trail off as I grab Jeff’s arm and check the time on his watch. “40 minutes before Harry and I are supposed to be in tech theater class, so we best get going if you want to see it,” I say, before grabbing Harry’s hand and dragging him towards the door. He stumbles after me, and we make it outside before anyone else. He pulls me into him and we stand there with my head resting on his shoulder and his head resting on mine while we wait for everyone to make it out the door. 
“I can’t wait to finally be alone again,” he whispers to me, and just as the words leave his mouth everyone else makes it out the doors, so I just pull back and peck his lips, before moving away. 
“Okay, my apartment is right over there,” I say with a point, because my building is just across from the rehearsal hall. “But, if everyone is going back to the hotel when we go to class, then I suggest y’all drive over there. The parking lot is in the back. We can walk over and I’ll let y’all in when you get there,” I tell them, and they all nod before heading to the car Jeff had rented for all of them. We watch as they pile in, and then Harry takes my hand and we walk to the building. This time we make small talk as we walk over, and I ask him what he thought about rehearsal. 
“It was so different from what I had been imagining. I understand now why you’re always worn out afterwards, and why you take a 1 o’clock nap everyday,” he says with a laugh, and I chuckle along with him. “And Dr. P is so intense in rehearsal.”
“And that was a good rehearsal,” I tell him with a small smile. “Imagine what a bad day is like,” I say, and he grimaces and shakes his head. 
“At least you know what you’re doing, and you know you’re not one of the people he gets upset with on the bad days.” I nod in agreement, and then open the door to the building to let him in. As we walk in I see the others standing outside the doors to the parking lot, and I let out a loud laugh as I run across the entryway to let them into the building. “Sorry,” I say to them, still laughing as I open the door. “We were walking slow because we were talking,” I tell them as they walk past me. They all nod or murmur in understanding, and I lead them to the elevator. “Those are our mailboxes,” I say, pointing to the alcove full of postboxes next to the elevator. “If we get a package we get a slip put in there and then we go to the campus postoffice with our slip to get our package,” I tell them, and then realize that I just explained how a PO box works. “I’m sorry. You definitely already knew that was how a PO box works,” I say with an awkward chuckle. Anne walks to me and gives me a one-armed hug. 
“You’re just nervous. I was too, the first time I invited people to my house,” she tells me, and then gently squeezes my shoulder. I smile in appreciation, and then the elevator doors open and we all step on. I press the button for the third floor, and grimace as the doors take forever to close. 
“Sorry, our elevator is super slow. At least you’re not here on a day that it’s broken,” I say to them as it starts to move. “Week before last it was broken, and I was almost certain no one told the building supervisor, because there was no out of order sign on it. I thought we had all just adapted and started taking the stairs.”
“Everytime I called her,” Harry says, starting to laugh as he starts to tell a story, and I start to blush because I know exactly what he’s going to say. “She would complain about having to take the stairs, and would say she was going to start sleeping in the lobby until they fixed the elevator. They wound up fixing it on a Saturday,” he says as the elevator stops and we all step out and I begin to lead everyone to my apartment at the end of the hall. “and it was night when she got back and realized, so after my show ended I had a selfie of her in the elevator that said ‘I don’t have to sleep in the lobby!’” He tells the story with a smile, continuing as we walk down the hall to my apartment, and I hide my face in his arm as he tells it, hoping that no one is seeing how hard I’m blushing. Everyone gives a slight chuckle as the story ends, and while they're laughing I slide my key into the lock and open my apartment door, holding it for everyone to come in. I watch them take in the small apartment, because it is a school provided apartment, and begin to overthink about how small it is and that they may not like it, and just as I start to get into my own head, Gemma speaks up. 
“Y/N,” she says with a huge smile on her face as she turns to look at me. “This apartment kitchen is so cute! You did such a good job decorating.” I blush as she says it, and then feel Harry wrap his arms around me. 
“This is just the kitchen and  common space. Wait until you see her room,” he says, and then points the women in the direction of my room. I laugh as I see that Jeff and Mitch, who has little guy in his lap, are just sitting on the couch, obviously not caring about decorations. Harry unwraps himself from me, places a kiss on my forehead, and then goes to join the guys in the living room. I laugh again, and then head into my room. 
“Wow,” Sarah says the moment I walk in. “This is so impressive.” 
“Thanks,” I quietly say, blushing because I hate being complicated. 
“No seriously,” Gemma says, standing in front of my desk area. “How did you make this work in such a small space?”
“Well, I played a lot of Sims when I was in high school, so I got kind of good at interior design,” I say with a laugh. “Want to see what I did with the bathroom?” They all nod, and I show them that room, and then, after they tell me how much they love it, we walk back into the living area. “Well, that’s the apartment,” I say as I sit down on the arm of the chair Harry is sitting in. “Hey, babe,” I say, turning slightly to look at him. “What time is it?”
“Uhm, 1:45. We should probably head to your class, yeah?” he asks, and I nod in response. Everyone who was sitting stands up, and we head for the door. I lock the door behind us as everyone heads for the elevator. When we get to the lobby I give everyone a hug goodbye, before Harry and I head out the opposite doors, heading back to the building we had left not that long ago. 
Technical theater turns out to just be more painting for the set of the show we are currently working on, and for an hour Harry and I paint the set, with the other people in my class. When that’s over we head to my car, and I drive us back to the hotel to get changed, and then we meet everyone in the lobby of the hotel and head to dinner before we all go to my rehearsal. 
After dinner we head back to the school, and, luckily, the seating in our theater had been set up the day before, so rehearsal turns into a basic performance for me and everyone in the cast. Before rehearsal starts, I introduce the other people in the cast to Harry and the others, even though most of the people were also in choir. We as a cast do our warm-ups, and then I head backstage to get ready for my first entrance. 
Throughout the rehearsal, every time I come off stage, I go around the side of the set wall, and make a face at Harry. He laughs quietly every time, and Anne slightly hits his shoulder each time, making me laugh.  After rehearsal ends I say goodbye to my cast mates, and then we all pile into the car as Jeff drives to the airport, in order to send Gemma and Anne off. Harry and i get out at the airport to say goodbye, and then we drive back to the hotel. After we get back to the hotel, Harry and I say goodnight to everyone, and then duck into our hotel room. As soon as the door shuts behind us Harry pulls me into him, and pulls me into a deep kiss. 
“Thank you for inviting us,” he says when he pulls away. “I know it’s hard for you to open up to other people, especially when it comes to your acting and singing. But thank you.” I blush and smile, before grabbing the back of his neck and pulling him into a deep kiss. He taps the back of my legs, and I jump into his arms as he carries me into the bedroom, closing the door behind us, just in case. 
In the morning, when I wake up, I shoot a text to Jeff. 
Hey, make sure you have a pass for me at the ticket booth tomorrow night. I’ll drive out as soon as my test is over.
