#but after a bit eventually Ice gets Bradley to agree to come home to talk to them all &if after he still wants to go; Ice will ensure

[nixie-deangel]

Well now I can't get Jake crocheting out of my head, Red AND him crocheting a gift for Bradley! Which wasn't what I was even thinking about XD!

I'm thinking Jake learned when he was little (5-7) from his grandma and while he didn't enjoy it at first, eventually fell in love with it and kept it up till high school and then he got sort of serious about his academics and sports to ensure he could put his best application for the Naval Academy, so it sort of fell to the way side and he just stopped doing it for more than a decade.

Doesn't really pick it up again until after The Mission and he needs something to do with his hands, to keep them moving, to quiet his mind, to not constantly thinking about how he almost truly lost Bradley forever. And it's during a talk with his mama that he even thinks about getting a hook and some yarn and starting up again, but he does. Goes out to a 24 hour Walmart and grabs the first skein his hand lands on and the correct hook size for it and spends the next few days attending meetings and debriefs during the day and the nights getting all pissed and angry because it's not coming back to him until it does (after maybe a few tutorials on YouTube because he doesn't remember the basics of his old favorite hobby at all!) and he starts making this again. Mostly he takes it apart when he finishes, so he can just keep reusing the same yarn, over and over again. Which is helpful as he relearns.

But then he and Bradley finally talk it out and get back together and then the Dagger Squad is made a permanent squadron and are stationed in San Diego but need to finish out their current assignments.

And it's while they're finishing that up that Jake gets the idea to make Bradley something, a blanket because it's a huge commitment to undertake, but he's determined to do it, to finish it in the months he's got because he wants to show Bradley he's serious about him. Serious about them.

(it works. for their one year anniversary Bradley has knitted them a blanket with the question, 'will you marry me?' on it.

spoilers, Jake says yes!)

I need to stop getting ideas while I'm cooking dinner 😔😭😭😔

BIOGRAPHY

TW: Infertility mention

When it comes to the phrase, “West coast, best coast,” Bradley Moss would have to agree. A California boy like him wasn’t exactly built for the brusque cadence of Boston, Mass. But he’d happily follow his wife Morgan to the ends of the earth, or right off the pier at the Santa Cruz Wharf, which they did once on a dare. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves here:

Born and raised in Santa Cruz, California, Brad was the oldest of several siblings, raised in a good Catholic household. Like most attractive young blond men, he was nearly always on the beachfront with his friends. But as he got older, Brad preferred the thrills of the Boardwalk to bumming it in the sand and surf (he did never quite get the hang of the board). Namely, the arcade. He always had a pocket full of quarters and some hours to burn, making friends with the arcade’s owner in the process. 

Eventually, he got a part-time job there, first as a cashier and then a cabinet jockey, eventually learning how to do the technical upkeep on the machines there. Technical and thorough, he had ambitions to one day maybe become an engineer of some sort, but he just didn’t have the full programmatic know-how. He liked to tinker. And he liked to daydream.

But he couldn’t pay the bills on a daydream, so when it came time for college, he stayed in his hometown for UC Santa Cruz and an Econ degree. And one evening after classes he found a stranger hogging his favorite cabinet – so he feigned a technical malfunction just to get her to hop off (oops, the power cord wasn’t plugged all the way in). But when she stepped aside, he was struck by her casual attitude and easy smile. And the way she wasted no time asking if there really were vampires in Santa Cruz. Her name was Morgan, and he was smitten.

He’d start putting quarters on the cabinets she was playing at just to use it as an excuse to talk to her. And try to beat her high scores, and occasionally fail, whether on purpose or by sheer luck, to make it a friendly competition.. The two quickly became an item, and were married after college (and Brad was only a little sore every time Morgan negged him to get a motorcycle because it’d be soooo hot). The two agreed a motorbike was a bit unsafe, but they did get a car Brad loved to tune up.

Together, the Mosses were gonna start a family and drive the coastal highways with the top down and their hair blowing in the sea air. Except, the family never came. And talks of a shared pet were shot down out of spite. Morgan felt embarrassed, responsible, deficient. But Bradley promised that as long as the two of them had a handful of quarters in their pocket and one another to hold onto, they’d be just fine. Brad’s siblings were all moving around and starting families of their own as well, so when talk of treatments led them to Boston, Massachusetts, he gladly held his wife’s hand all the way across the country.

Their savings weren’t immense, but they decided to build a little slice of home in the new city with Retrocity Arcade. It was a family center as much as a place to escape. Bradley had always been about fixing things, adding improvements – but he hoped that his wife never saw herself as something broken, in need of fixing. He loved her just the way she was, and if they never had a family, they’d make their own life just as fulfilling. And even if they had to take out some loans, Retrocity has endured for over a decade, with Brad managing upkeep while Morgan handles the finances. In the meantime, he’s blissfully unaware of how things operate in Boston – especially coming from the laidback lifestyle of his hometown.

Above all, Brad will do anything and everything he can to provide for the two of them, even if he feels a little helpless when he finally notices his wife stop talking about having kids. They’re not getting any younger – the one downside to not actually having real vampires in Santa Cruz. But even if they never get everything they want out of life, they’ve got each other, which is more than most others can say.

9-1-1: LONE STAR REACTION

This reaction is for season 3, second episode “Thin Ice” which originally aired on January 10, 2022. The episode was written by Trey Callaway & Carly Soteras and directed by Bradley Buecker. Spoilers ahead!

If you thought last week’s season 3 opener was something, episode 2 kicked things up a notch. When we last saw our beloved heroes of the 126, two of them seemed to be in a mortal danger. While trying to locate a missing girl, Paul ended up trapped underneath a collapsed building. Marjan ended up driving off the side of the road during the snowstorm after failing to convince Owen to come back to the 126. So are our two firefighters safe? Let’s start with Paul and then work our way through the rest of our main characters to see how they are fairing during this storm.

As mentioned previously, Paul became trapped underneath a collapsed building after attempting to rescue a volunteer. When Paul finds the girl, he gets her to open up about how she is angry that no one around her notices her. Paul confesses to her that he is angry, too - he is angry that his family (the 126) is displaced and he wishes they were a unit again. Meanwhile, Judd, Mateo and the other first responders outside are trying to find a way inside to rescue Paul and the girl without causing the building to collapse any further. To further complicate their efforts, the sprinkler system accidentally turns on covering Paul and the volunteer in icy water. Now the issue is life and death. In a move reminiscent to when Judd slapped the young boy who had stepped in a bear trap while trying to flee the huge forest fire last season, Paul screams at the volunteer to keep her conscious. Paul eventually starts to lose conscious, gradually succumbing to the cold, but his boys swoop in to save him at the last minute. Paul is safe and sound!

Let’s talk Grace! While Judd and the rest of the 126 are out in the storm making rescues, Grace is safe and sound at the dispatch center doing what she does best. After rescuing Paul and the volunteer, Judd heads over to the dispatch center to bring his wife her favorite tea and her favorite snack. Not much happens with Grace this episode (although we may get quite a bit of her in the next episode) but I loved seeing her interaction with Judd. Grace and Judd are one of my favorite pairings on television right now and I think they make the perfect couple. I suspect that Baby Ryder will be making her debut very, very soon so I am excited to see Judd and Grace as new parents in the upcoming episodes. 

Next on the list is Owen. One of the major complaints I have seen about this show online is that the show focuses way too much on Owen and not enough on the other characters. I don’t exactly agree with this sentiment. I think Owen grounds the show but I believe the show has done a good job of giving us insight into the lives of the other characters. With that said, it seems like this season is doing it’s best to make sure that Owen doesn’t overshadow the other characters. His storyline this episode is one of my favorites and it was fun to see him act opposite someone outside of the 126 for a change. I usually get leery on these shows when they introduce a love interest for the main character but I quite like Julie Benz’s Sadie. I think they have great chemistry. I also liked the storyline with the illegal immigrants. What a twist! The guy Owen and Sadie ended up helping ended up being the bad guy. I honestly didn’t see that coming. Hopefully, Owen will realize that being a hero is in his DNA and after this storm is over he will come to his senses and come back to the 126. I’m interested to see what happens next!

Remember the older couple from the last episode who were out trying to save the turtles during the snowstorm? Remember how they stumbled upon the little boy trapped underneath the ice? We next flashback to the events leading up to the boy falling into the icy drink. The boy was left at home alone while his mother was working. When the boy asked his mom if he could go outside to play with the other kids, she told him to stay inside - rightfully so - because not only was it not safe, the boy also has asthma. Of course the boy disobeys his mom - this is television after all - and he ventures outside and falls through the ice into the water underneath. We then flash-forward back to the future. The older couple calls 9-1-1 and Grace dispatches Tommy, TK, and Nancy to save the day since the other first responders are booked and busy. The three paramedics use their limited resources to attempt a rescue of the boy who is completely submerged under the ice. Because TK has more experience with performing rescues, he goes after the boy and ends up falling in the water himself. Long story short, the paramedics are able to revive the boy but now TK has life-threatening hypothermia. At the end of the episode, we see TK hooked up to several machines and when Carlos asks about his condition, Tommy delivers the somber news line of the episode when she tells him, “We need to find his father.” So, TK is in pretty dire straight but I honestly don’t think this show is going to kill off one of it’s beloved characters. As my mom pointed out during the episode, this is the third time we’ve nearly seen TK die. The first time in season one when he overdoses, the second time in season one when he is shot and now he is fighting for his life at the beginning of season 3. Oh, and his house was burned down last season and he was knocked out during the hostage situation. Poor guy has been through enough! 

Our last stop is Marjan. Last time we saw Marjan, she crashed her car after leaving Owen’s cabin. We see her at the end of the episode, waking up after the crash. She attempts to use her phone and sees that she has no single. Marjan has spent so much time trying to save the 126, it looks like the 126 may need to band together to locate her and save her. Let’s hope they make it in time! Whew! This episode had a lot going on. We managed to save one character and now another character’s life hangs in the balance. Next episode, it looks like we will get the conclusion to the massive snowstorm. So, naturally I have some questions going into the next episode. Will we finally discover why TK and Carlos ended their relationship? Will TK have any complications from nearly freeing to death? Will Owen be able to get the band back together? Will Grace have to give birth on the side of the road? I guess we will have to wait two weeks to get the answer to our questions. Until next time ...

THE CLUB starring Bill Skarsgard as William Casik 4

Warnings: fluff, angst, smut, f-bombs

Notes: dream board is my creation, but some pictures are curtesy of @Billofourtime and Tim Richardson for Número Art (2019).

ch 1 ch 2 ch 3 ch5 ch 6 ch 7  ch 8 ch 9 ch 10

Alice wouldn’t take another chance until college. It took months of William just talking to her in a back-corner booth at the local bar while his friends and hers got closer.  He majored in business but minored in psychology. The way she never looked at a man intrigued him. She loved talking to him about school and her life plans of being a teacher for young children. He was a great listener. 

He didn’t even ask her why she didn’t look at him for six months.  When he finally did, she was drunk enough that night to completely open up to him. She basically told him her life story. Her mom’s warning about men. Her first experience with Roger was hard to share without crying. He listened with no judgement. He liked she was a virgin but didn’t say a thing about that fact.

Another night he had been drinking a little more than usually. He was celebrating an internship for the company he really wanted to work for. “I want to run this company someday. And I would love to be married to you when I do, Alice.”

She looked up at him then. His green eyes so sincere even though he was obviously a little tipsy. The bar cut him and his buddies off. “You really think that William?”

“Yeah, Alice.” William looked down a little embarrassed about his confession. “I mean someday. I’m not proposing tonight or anything like that.”

Bradley yells, “Hey, you got her to look at you. Fucking miracle.”

William glares at him before looking back at Alice, “Sorry Alice. He can be a pretty bad guy sometimes.”

Alice looked down at her drink again clicking the stirrer around the ice cubes with her soda gone.

“Dude, invite her to The Club to meet The Sir,” Bradley laughed wickedly.

“What’s The Club?” Alice asked without looking up at him again.

“I don’t know what he’s talking about Alice.”  William put his hand near hers and she inched hers away. “It’s alright Alice I can go as slow as you need. You don’t have to look at me or touch me but will you dance with me to this last slow song for the evening?”

She bit her lip but decided it was ok. So, they got up to move to Ed Sheeran Perfect.  . They didn’t touch at all that night or the next weekend all the friends got together but eventually she leaned against his chest. He didn’t do anything more than sway with her until she eased her arms around him a few months later. He gently held her back. She looked at him as they talked completely comfortable.  He took her on a few dates before kissing her softly. It spooked her a little, so he pulled away quickly. By their college graduation, him from business school and her elementary education, he was so in love with her, he proposed and she accepted.

Their wedding was a beautiful huge affair with family and friends.  On their wedding night as the sunset in the bay window of the beach house he rented in Hawaii she slowly nervously undid her silky white robe a friend had packed for her. She didn’t dare wear the lingerie that was supposed to be under it. Instead she was completely naked for her new husband. He laid under the sheet naked with his hand out for her to come to him. She did.

He made sure to lube his protection they decided was the right thing to use. “Its alright sweet girl. Its only going to feel like this the first time. You will enjoy it later, I promise.”

She took a deep breath, “Its our wedding night. This is just for you love. Its always going to be all for you.”

He didn’t realize how much she really meant that. She could never relax to enjoy sex. She just always wanted him to cum quickly and get off her. It was frustrating to him most of the time, but he thought with patience he could get her out of her head. Get her Mom’s words out of her head long enough for her to cum and feel how good sex could be for her to. He had the patience of a Saint.  

It had only been eleven months since they got married and he did get her to agree three days a week they could have sex if neither of them was tired. But the fact was most Tuesdays and Thursdays one or both of them were tired. Sometimes even Saturdays. And William never pushed her into something she wasn’t at least partly ready for. Because he did love her.

He thought she loved him. But with hormones raging. Not really thinking straight with the cramps she was having, and the thoughts of how disgusting she was to humanity when her curse was in full force, she kicked him out.

She regretted it the moment she came to her senses waking up alone on the couch. She shivered. If he was there, he would have put a blanket over her. Or just carried her to bed tucking her in nice and snug. But she had kicked out the only person who really ever seem to think about her before themselves. She started to cry again as she called his cellphone and left a message.

         “I’m so sorry William. Please come home when your meeting is over. Don’t           stay in New York longer than you really need to. I love you. And I need                 you. And I want to learn to do better if you are willing to teach me slowly.             I want to enjoy things more with you. Fuck, what people might say. You               heard me say it and I mean it. If I don’t hear from you, I’m coming there.

Maybe the F-bomb was still her hormones doing the talking for her. But it felt strangely liberating. Oh shit, Alice thought. I just said fuck on a fucking recording. She giggled like a twelve-year-old just leaning the word. I’d be fucking fired if the school heard me use such language. She giggled louder. It echoed through the house.

She tried to call William again. He didn’t answer because he wasn’t really there completely anymore. She didn’t know anything about his other self. Or the club that he enjoyed letting his alter ego let loose in a few times a year before they were married. He pushed the agony down deep. Now that he let this part of himself free again could he ever subdue him again?

She tidied up the house until she was so exhausted, she fell asleep. She slept twelve hours waking with a new-found vigor and excitement deep down. Alice called William again. He still didn’t answer so she left another message.

      “I hope you have time to play because I’m ready for some fun.”

When Alice hung-up  her cheeks flared red with embarrassment. Her skin flushed. She laughed so hard at the flirty nature of the message. She thought maybe she should call back, so she didn’t sound like some little whore. Then decide the tone was fine for a married couple. She needed to loosen up. She needed to enjoy their marriage more. There was nothing wrong with wanting him.

Like really wanting him. She thought about how his hands would try to run down her body over her ass before she would remove them because it only made her more frustrated. But maybe if she let him. Maybe if she could relax enough to let him, she couldn’t think of a term. But she knew her best friend Molly enjoyed sex. Molly was an escort that sometimes slept with her clients for a little extra cash. She had sex with Roger before graduation and a few times after but somehow, she didn’t care about the reputation it brought her. Just that it brought her pleasure.  

That is how Alice wanted to be for William. She packed her bags as she made a reservation for New York. She called the hotel to make plans to stay there also. She thought it was only sensible to have a separate room from him incase he really didn’t want her there. He hadn’t answered the phone.

But The Sir side of him had gotten her messages. He especially enjoyed listen to the second one when she said she wanted to play and have some fun. He might indulge her for a bit until she begged him to stop. To never come near her again. He smirked as he thought of the fun he could have getting her to cum over and over when she never felt that before. William never gave her what she truly needed, But he would.

Bergy/marchy for the headcannon game please and thank you! 💕

Aaah thank you for this Alex!  Without further ado, please enjoy the following Bergy/Marchy headcanons.

Gives nose/forehead kisses

Nose kisses are definitely Marchy. Forehead kisses are Bergy’s thing, because Marchy is shorter, so it’s easy for Bergy to just lean down and kiss his forehead. Meanwhile, Marchy will stand on tiptoes if he needs to, to give Bergy a playful kiss on the nose.

Gets jealous the most

Oooh. These boys both get jealous when someone tries to flirt with one of them. Marchy is good at interrupting whatever situation he’s feeling jealous of in order to redirect and subtly cling to Bergy. Bergy, on the other hand, gets broody and jealous in a way that not many people (besides Marchy) can recognize. Bergy is also the one most likely to drag Marchy home as quickly as possible and remind him that no one gets to flirt with him besides [Bergy]. 

Picks the other up from the bar when they’re too drunk to drive

Marchy tends to go out more with the younger guys on the team, and tries to prove that he can outdrink them. As such, Bergy gets many a phone call along the lines of “Uhh, Marchy is totally hammered and we’re worried about him getting home”. Bergy could tell everyone to figure it out, and leave Marchy to stumble around drunkenly, but he loves his man too much for that. So, Bergy comes to the rescue. Of course, on the few occasions Bergy happens to get too drunk, Marchy is there to bring him home safely. 

Takes care of on sick days

If one gets sick, the other is there to fuss. Marchy tends to get sick more, typically from his on-ice antics, so Bergy does more of the care-giving in that regard. He fusses more over the small details, worrying about every little thing that goes right or wrong while Marchy recovers, but he’s a solid, reassuring presence. Bergy is not always sure what to do when it comes to having a cold, because having a cold seems too deceptively simple. But when it comes to major illnesses or injuries, no matter how much of an emotional toll they take, he knows what to do to make Marchy’s recovery easier, whether it’s administering medication, cooking meals in advance, driving him to appointments, or just snuggling with him under a blanket while Marchy naps. 

However, Bergy isn’t exempt from getting the common cold/flu, even though he appears to be superman on any given day. When he does get sick, Marchy fusses over him, cuddles him, and spends every waking moment nursing him back to health. Marchy has more experience with caring for common ailments, given that he’s grown up with siblings and was expected to help when a sibling got sick. So, he fusses less over small details and worries instead about major changes. Bergy doesn’t always know what to make of Marchy being so calm, but he’s glad to have Marchy close while he himself feels so miserable. 

Drags the other person out into the water on beach day

Contrary to what some people might think, Bergy is the one who gets playful at the beach. (Marchy’s whole motive is to see Bergy soaking wet, so it doesn’t matter to him how that happens). Bergy loves waiting ‘til Marchy is dozing on the sand, attempting to tan. Then, he picks him up and wades into the ocean, tossing Brad into the water. Marchy wakes up instantly, spluttering and splashing while Bergy chuckles to himself. Brad promptly grabs Patrice’s ankles and pulls him down into the water…and Bergy is definitely kidding himself if he doesn’t expect this to happen. 

Gives unprompted massages

Marchy is a handsy boy as is. But he can put his usual friskiness to good use when Bergy is stressed, cranky, or otherwise holding tension in his body. He likes to wrap himself around Bergy’s back and rub his shoulders and back until the tension melts away and he’s pliable and sleepy in Marchy’s arms. Marchy hates seeing Bergy stressed, so he does what he can to make sure Bergy stays relaxed when they’re alone together..and if that leads to sex…well, neither one of them is going to complain about that.  

Drives/rides shotgun

It depends on where they need to go. If they’re on vacation, or going somewhere for leisurely purposes, Bergy drives, and Marchy is content to ride shotgun, as long as he can hold Bergy’s hand and be in control of the radio. (The man fidgets too much otherwise). When they have to be somewhere, though, like practice, games, or dinner, Marchy drives and Bergy rides shotgun. Sometimes, Marchy’s driving causes quarrels…he tends to drive quickly and aggressively, much like the way he plays hockey. But Bergy realizes Marchy is the best hope they have to get where they’re going early in spite of Boston traffic, because he can navigate traffic effectively.

Brings the other lunch at work

Considering they both play hockey in the same place, for the same team, they make lunch together for their practice days, or they go out to lunch after practice. They eat dinner together before or after games. But, when Bergy gets injured, he likes to surprise Marchy by cooking or picking up his favorite meal and bringing it to him at practice or after games. Marchy is always so pleased that Bergy goes out of his way when he’s sick or hurt to take care of him, but neither of them would have it any other way. And because he wants Bergy to feel the same way, he reciprocates by making or picking up Bergy’s favorite desserts to bring to him. Both these instances result in hugging and making out in front of the team (which prompts teasing and groaning alike), but that deters neither of them.

Has the better parental relationship

Both Bergy and Marchy have good relationships with their parents. When they got together, Brad’s parents were instantly supportive and thrilled to welcome Patrice to the family. They know the way Marchy has been pining after him for years, so they’re excited. Patrice’s parents are a bit more hesitant. They had a feeling Bergy was in love with his linemate, but they were concerned about their son’s career. When it’s made clear that Bergy and Marchy won’t let their relationship affect the team dynamic (or the way they each play), Bergy’s parents relax, and are more than happy to have Marchy as part of the family, as well. 

Tries to start role-playing in bed

Ah, yes. The role-playing incident. While they’re both slightly drunk one night, Brad attempts to start role-playing with Patrice, but he fails epically, and they both end up laughing hysterically, effectively killing the mood. After that, they both agree to no more role-playing…dirty talk is fine for both of them, but role-playing is off limits. They just can’t take each other seriously with that. 

Embarrassingly drunk dancer

If this doesn’t scream Bradley Kevin Marchand, I don’t know what does. Drunkenness equates to Marchy dancing, and Marchy dancing is absolutely ridiculous. He tries to keep up with the rookies, but is too drunk to grasp what exactly they’re trying to teach him. Bergy has to wrap an arm around him and hold him still, otherwise he’ll get up onto a table or chair and sway awkwardly, singing along too loudly to the music.

Still cries watching Titanic

Bergy. It’s his greatest secret. He worries that Marchy is going to laugh at him when he finds out by putting on the movie as background noise. Instead, Marchy just uses the knowledge as a means of making Bergy cry for the sake of being able to hold him. Sometimes, when Bergy is feeling overly vulnerable, he’ll put on the movie so he has a catalyst to cry and release the pent-up emotion, all the while feeling safe in Marchy’s arms. 

Firmly believes in couples costumes

Brad LOVES halloween. He spends a lot of time planning and scheming, coming up with elaborate costume ideas that involve matching with Bergy. The first halloween they spend together, Bergy rolls his eyes at Marchy’s insistence at wearing matching costumes. When he realizes Brad is serious, though, Patrice goes along with it because he doesn’t want to upset Brad or feel like he somehow let him down. So, while it isn’t Bergy’s all-time-favorite thing to do, every halloween after that is spent in couples’ costumes…(and maybe he has some fun with it, eventually).

Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas

They both do. Patrice tries to be sneaky, their first Christmas, in order to surprise Brad. He’s proud of his plan, and is excited at the opportunity to spoil his other half the way he deserves. While he ends up achieving this, he also ends up surprised on Christmas morning, when Brad reveals that he’s done the same thing. They both laugh, and kiss, and open the rest of their gifts. After that Christmas, they each limit each other to one expensive gift, since it’s obvious “no expensive gifts” is not going to be adhered to. 

Makes the other eat breakfast 

Marchy has so much energy a lot of the time, so he’s constantly moving and bouncing and talking. Sometimes, he gets caught up in the excitement of getting to live his dream playing hockey and being with Bergy, and he’ll leave the house without eating breakfast, which results in him crashing during practice, complete with muscle exhaustion and a splitting headache. So, Bergy is the one to remind him in the mornings to sit down and eat something, even if he feels like he’s not hungry. Sometimes Marchy pouts, or he whines about being treated like a kid, but he knows Bergy has his best interests at heart, and always listens to him. Besides, when he takes time in the morning to settle down and eat breakfast, Bergy rewards him with plenty of kisses, and that alone is enough to make Marchy adjust his morning meal habits. 

Remembers anniversaries

Both Bergy and Marchy remember their anniversaries, birthdays, and other important events. Neither one of them considered themselves the type of guy to get sappy and sentimental over upcoming anniversaries, but it turns out that both of them love to celebrate the important dates with one another. 

Brings up having kids

Given their career choice and given the fact that they both do the same thing at the same time, neither one considers the possibility of children while they play. They both enjoy playing with their teammates’ kids, and occasionally babysitting, but they don’t actively, constantly think about having children. Bergy brings up the possibility of adopting when they both retire, and Marchy is willing to consider it. But it isn’t something either one dwell on, and they agree to bring it up again if and when the time is right.

How does character feel about appearance? His self esteem is weird. He thinks of himself as physically attractive, but if someone else of a higher degree of attractiveness were to compliment his appearance, he’d suddenly become a little more insecure.

Any siblings?: None that he’s aware of. Although, he considers his cousin Bradley to basically be his little brother.

Relationship with parents?: Well, his dad walked out on him when Seth was ten, and ever since then, his mother abused him. It’s safe to say that once he got out of the house at 16, he cut all ties with his mother, and he hasn’t heard from his father since he left.

Memories about childhood?: For some reason, Seth vividly remembers a happier time when he was around six, and his parents took him to the beach one Saturday. It was probably the best day of his life, and they were all smiling and happy, eating junk food like cotton candy, fried Oreos, and ice cream after his dad helped him build the most awesome sand castle. His mother took a picture of him with his dad making the castle, and no one knows that he keeps the picture in a frame by his bedside to remember that time in his life.

Educational background? (Street smart? Book smart?): He dropped out of high school when he ran away from home at sixteen, and eventually got his GED in case he ever had the opportunity to go to college. He’s more street smart than book smart. 

Work Experience: Drug dealer, bodyguard for a mafia leader’s daughter, and fighter at Moxxi’s Madhouse. He’s currently looking into bartending jobs.

Where does the character live now? Describe home. (Emotional atmosphere & physical): He lives in a two-bedroom beach side condo in West Stone. It has a luxurious, contemporary open spaced feel with a relaxed environment since he lives alone.

Neat or messy?: He doesn’t mind a mess in certain things like leaving clothes on the floor, but when it comes to picking up trash and cleaning up dishes, he’s much neater in that regard.

Sexuality: Straight, although he’s slowly discovering and acknowledging he is probably bisexual. 

Morals: Seth likes to think he has good morals overall, even if he doesn’t follow them. He tries to do the right thing, but he has no qualms with killing someone to defend someone he cares about.

Activities: Running, martial arts, kickboxing, fighting at Moxxi’s Madhouse

Friends? Pets?: Some of his closest friends are Teddy and Marcy, and his cousin Bradley

Enemies? Why?: None that he can think of

Basic Nature: Seth is a quiet and most people would say he “broods” a lot. He’s rather shy and introverted, although he can mask that when he feels like it. He’s sarcastic and gruff a lot of the time, but underneath that, he will go above and beyond for anyone he cares about.

Personality Traits: Quiet, loyal, protective, stubborn, sarcastic, caring, distrusting, witty (sometimes), strong-hearted, brave

Strongest/Weakest Traits: His strongest traits are definitely his stubbornness and protective streak. While he’s caring, he can sometimes not always be great at showing it, and that has sometimes gotten him in trouble.

What do they fear?: He fears losing the few people in his life that he cares about. 

What are they proud of?: The fact that he actually has friends, a home, and he’s survived this far in life.

Outlook on life: He tends to have a more pessimistic view of the world, but there is a small shred of optimism he keeps buried deep underneath.

Ambitions: He's very simple in what he wants, and all he’s striving to achieve for is to get a well-paying job and become a more functional adult. He has occasionally thought about going back to school, but he has no idea what he’d want to do.

Politics: Seth doesn’t really focus on politics a lot, nor does he really strongly side with any particular party. He feels he’s a bit too “uneducated” to talk about financial or economic issues, or war and country relations, but with things like immigration, social issues, crime, and Metahuman rights, he tries to pay attention to. He tends to be in the middle, agreeing with conservative values on one issue and leaning towards a liberal view on others. 

How do they see themselves?: He honestly really doesn’t see himself as anything special. Just another person living and going on through life until death comes.

How are they seen by others?: To those who know him, they see him as a strong but quiet person, a protective “sibling,” and a good friend. Strangers would say he’s either rude and sarcastic and cold, or nice but shy and aloof.

Do I (the writer) like this person? Why? Why not?: I like Seth as a person. He’s got that big protective older brother vibe, and I’d love to have him around when walking home at night instead of being by myself. He’d do whatever he has to in order to keep a friend safe and unharmed. 

Most Important Thing About Them: His kind heart.

Present Problem: He needs to find a well-paying job so he can get money and pay for his home, food, and other things. This has proven to be quite a difficult task.

How it will get worse: With the Nephilim being known as public Metahuman terrorists, the great majority of society (especially in Pansaw) fears Metahumans. Since Seth is registered, he’s been getting turned away from most of the jobs he’s trying to get.

Their goals in this story?: Main goal? Survive this crazy world. Other goals would include graduating from college (actually attending college first is a good idea too), find some love maybe, and possibly be happy.

What traits will help/hurt them in achieving this goal?: When Seth puts his mind to something, he perseveres like all hell. 

What makes them different from similar characters?: Seth could be compared to the “gentle giant” character trope, or the “looks like he could kill you, but is actually a cinnamon roll” meme. He can definitely be a cinnamon roll, but he will not bat an eye or feel any semblance of guilt when it comes to taking out a threat against his own life or a threat against someone he loves.

Why will readers remember this character vividly?: Despite his rough past and present, he’s still a good guy who hasn’t let it all tear him down completely, and that kind of strength is something I find admirable.

Welp time for diary number 4 about my life, and shit gets good in this part so buckle your seatbelt because it's about to go down.

Hi. I may have lied a tiny bit in my last diary thing. But it's chill, I'll explain. So last I'd written on here I was interested in a girl from work called Amy. It took time but I built up some courage and actually ended up asking her out! I was feeling pretty good about myself. But then she said no. In all honesty I wasn't too upset about it? Yeah it got me a little but not nearly as much as some other things I've talked about. And this is where the lie comes in. I never liked Amy. Amy was just an excuse, a way to keep myself occupied, a reassurance that girls are out there. Now of course nothing against her she's pretty and really nice but nothing would ever happen! (I mean she said no to a date soooo..) At this point in time I'd fallen out with a friend I mentioned in many previous thing, small Emily. Another boyfriend came along and changed her but again don't really care about that loss so much. In return I made some new friends, there's people at work I now talk to all the time, and a couple of girls from uni! (I'll get onto that in a second) life was okay? That's the best way to describe it! I told my friends that i was just gonna stop looking for something, for love. But I lied I totally kept looking and never stopped. (Lying is a theme here don't follow my example kids) It's a normal day, I'm in my room playing some video games and I get invited to a party! Sure sounds good, now this is where shit gets confusing because I'm throwing another Emily into the mix. Let's call her cute Emily. It was her birthday. I said to friends I'd turn up to pre drinks at their flat and then head to the pub with them, I wasn't going to go clubbing. It's not for me. I turn up to the flat, we're all talking and it's good! Bee is there, tall Emily, cute Emily, my boss Bradley! (Tall Emily's boyfriend), and a couple of others. We go to the pub, and tall Emily pulls me to the side and says "I think somebody has a crush on you" I ask her who and she says "(cute) Emily!" Now as you can probably tell I thought Emily was cute! But with my luck I'd just assumed she had a boyfriend! But I got told that and I panicked!! Bradley pulls me to the side, tells me talk to her the whole night, buy her a drink etc. So I do, we talk a lot in the pub and it's great!! I know that if anything is gonna happen I have to go to the club, so I do and I actually have an amazing time! I buy her a couple more drinks, we dance, and as the night goes on I get her number. Now at this point tall Emily and Bradley had left, and everybody else had gone to the toilet. So it was me, cute Emily, my friend Olivia and some creepy guy. This guy was obsessed over Olivia and he just wanted to see her kiss another girl all night. So this guy grabs cute Emily's hands and starts pulling her towards him. I grab her hands off of him, and tell her "I'm not letting you go with him" she looks at me and mouths the words "thank you". And in that moment it was like something out of a movie, the music gets slow, I pull her in by the waist and we kiss. It happened more as the night went on, she holds my hands as we leave, and she kisses me goodbye when the night is over. I'd felt so happy after that night it was like my whole life had turned around and I was just over the moon! And then I arranged a date. We agreed on a day, a time and everything. Table for two booked, and it couldn't of been scripted better. Because, like with Louiza, 20 minutes before the date I get a text. "I'm sorry I can't come tonight". And that was it. I (being the emotional car crash I am) cry my eyes out, call my friends and they all tell me to come to a work party to get my mind off of things. I go, I drink waaaaaaaaay too much thinking drinks will fucking help the problem. I don't really remember much, just waking up at my bosses house, hopelessly and utterly confused and hating myself once again. He's cool with it, tells me I needed it that night. It's now December I think? And I go home for Christmas (3 weeks off). The day I get home I get a text, it's cute Emily. It was one long apology, and it ended with her saying she'd love to try and meet up again after Christmas. I'm happy but cautious at this point. I have a great Christmas at home but I get back to uni! She seems interested still, she's texting me a lot talking about going out and I eventually get a day sorted and everything again. I told myself I wouldn't get as hyped up for this though, but that changed. And it was because of her. I got texts like "Friday can't come quick enough" all the time, and I dunno just made me go all funny again. Funnily enough, that that Friday, was today. And the date was great, we went for lunch in this ice little Italian restaurant, we talk the whole time and it's not awkward. And I just felt comfortable around her. We hugged at the end of the date, I panicked because I thought no kiss at the end of the date was a bad sign but apparently that's normal! (Don't judge me that was my first ever date) she said she'd love to meet up again and I'm crossing my fingers hoping that something comes out of this.. she's amazing. And I just hope she feels the same way. We're seeing each other tomorrow for a friends (bee's) party and I'm even nervous for that! Like how do I act? Like friends, or like we've just been on a date and are interested in each other? Do I talk to her all night? Do I kiss her? Uuuugh I dunno, struggles of being an 18 year old searching for love. I'm actually Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother I swear. But yeah, things are good at the minute just got to keep my feet on the ground and keep my fingers crossed! If I post within a week or something then I'll probably be upset, if it's a month then probably happy. Here's to hoping it's a month *future max from tomorrow raises his glass in hopes for present max*

reblogging myself here, @redfurrycat, because I realized tumblr cut off some of the tags 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 so doing this to ensure the mpreg idea is all there share:

but no the idea for hangster I got while cooking yesterday was an angsty mpreg where Jake and Bradley sort of start working out their issues before Bradley is tasked with a blackout comms mission and he's away for nearly 14 months and he's hoping like hell that Jake will still be waiting for him.

only to come back to Jake living with IceMav and has a baby girl and Bradley with his massive self esteem issues assumes that IceMav have replaced him with Jake (because he KNOWS that Jake is more like them than he'll ever be) and that Jake has clearly moved on so Bradley spirals because in his mind he's lost the love of his life AND his family has clearly replaced him with who he believes to be a better fit for them and sort of pulls a Mav with his don't think just do & pulls in any and all favors he can

& tries to get himself transferred out of the pacific fleet and in the Atlantic fleet but can't because of the commander of the Atlantic fleet is slider, who won't approve the transfer without talking to ice who immediately shows up with a ?!?!?! &then there's a fight because of course there is with Bradley and ice realizes that there are still a LOT of underline issues with what he & Mav did by pulling his papers and realizes that Bradley has made a lot assumptions because he doesn't have all the facts &is just assume the worst but after a bit eventually Ice gets Bradley to agree to come home to talk to them all &if after he still wants to go; Ice will ensure he gets to go without any issues

(Mav Ice & Jake in this all realizing that they've all kind of assumed Bradley had gotten over/worked out through his issues with them and are horrified to learn he's actually just buried it because he's just been so grateful to have them all back in his life that he never actually learned that he didn't process all of the hurts he had with them or worked through all the issues his mom's promised wrought for how he interacted with the world and how he trusted and assumed he should be loved and treated)

Jake is especially horrified by all of this because BRADLEY worked so fucking hard to ensure that all the shit he spewed at Jake over the years and the damage he caused was made up for and worked to be truly forgiven before Bradley went off on his blackout comms mission and Jake nearly has a breakdown because he realizes he never extended the same sort of effort to Bradley which is in part of WHY Bradley was so nervous and unsure about Jake truly willing to wait for him. what I'm really saying here is that Bradley has no fucking self esteem and everyone in his life assumes he knows he's actually loved but he doesn't because babygirl has no self esteem or self worth.

IceMav and Jake work really hard with Bradley to ensure he knows they love him and want him. that Jake hasn't let any person touch him since Bradley kissed him all soft and unsure when they were celebrating THE MISSIONS success and hasn't ever really seriously entertained the idea of settling with ANYONE but Bradley, since the FRIST time they got together! but it's a lot of work and a lot of tough conversations, ones Bradley doesn't really start taking seriously until he gets informed that the baby girl, Nicole Elizabeth Carole Bradshaw, is in fact his child, that Bradley actually starts putting in the heavy work to get himself mentally healthy because like fuck is he going to let his child grow up feeling or thinking about themselves like Bradley does to himself.

I need to stop getting ideas while I'm cooking dinner 😔😭😭😔
