Joel/Jimmy, Empires s2, 2631 words, rated T
Summary: Jimmy asks Joel to stay after sex, and Joel has a lot of trouble finding an answer to what feels like a very dangerous question.
(someone please tell me if this isn't actually Teen rated, I've asked people and they'd all said yes but ~anxiety~)
Preview!
"Stay?"
Joel froze. Sitting on Jimmy’s bed, now fully dressed and poised to leave, he felt himself go rigid. His sandal laces were still pulled taut in his hands and he wondered if he’d ever be able to tear his gaze away from the floor.
Thankfully he was facing away from Jimmy, who hadn't moved from the bed since they… since. Joel supposed Jimmy had done this intentionally, to save himself from seeing Joel's reaction if he did something idiotic, like freeze in place, dumbstruck. The silence was awkward, almost painful. Joel wished Jimmy would… he didn’t know what he wanted Jimmy to do. Just… something.
Stay?
Joel and Jimmy's… relationship… was never supposed to be anything serious. From Joel's perspective it was never supposed to even be, it had just… happened. Not that he’d been complaining. Joel barely remembered how it had first happened, how they'd gotten from laughing and drinking heavily in Jimmy's saloon to Joel leaning back against the bar, Jimmy on his knees in front of him, still wearing his ridiculous hat that he loved so much.
The friendship, or whatever it was, had escalated quickly after Joel had decided to put their issues aside. His issues, apparently–Jimmy had been instantly ready to move on, to declare peace (and call Joel handsome, unprompted), so the problem must have actually been all on Joel’s end. He didn’t want to dwell on that, so he didn’t. It was over and done with. He stopped thinking about it, moved on and soon found himself having a shocking amount of fun with the sheriff, of all people.
At first that fun was normal joking around, drinking, making innuendo and fake flirting. At least Joel had thought it was fake flirting. Then one night… he supposed he must have accidentally gone too far, one final joke that was too risque, that was technically an offer, that Jimmy eagerly accepted.
Now they'd been sleeping together for weeks. Well, not sleeping together–Joel never stayed long after. They never talked about what they were doing–Joel just showed up in Tumble Town a few evenings a week, claiming he was looking to buy a drink at the saloon. Just like before, they'd drink and laugh and make innuendo, but now it always led to Jimmy's bed, one way or another. The sex was good, the sex was bloody fantastic, and, Joel had thought, everything about this situation was stable. He’d thought they could keep on like this indefinitely, just being friends and having amazing sex that they never had to talk about. Joel’s life was perfect, why did Jimmy have to go mess it up like this?
Stay?
(Head to ao3 for the rest!)

completely different thing.
If Etho x Joel is a thing then I require Lizzie x Cleo to be a thing as well.
I mean that makes sense to me but you know Lizzie already hates Cleo
Hm… but Joel also seems to be somewhat shoving Etho away… what if… PARALLELS?!
#joel: me and my wife vs the weirdos who are obsessed with us#cleo: me and my husband vs the people we keep trying to get close to#trafficshipping#smalletho#shadowrot#I guess with my tags I’m also implying uh#jizzie#cletho#trafficblr

ftf owl house drawing recs (only if you want to do them, ofc)!!! uhhh how about something angsty between raine and eda what with the whole puppet-ification, or something about boscha and amity?
[ID: a digital sketch of Amity and Boscha from the owl house based on a scene from For the Future. They're in their designs from For the Future. Boscha is tackle-hugging Amity from behind, exclaiming "I won't let you leave again!" Amity is then depicted with a disturbed face and a thought bubble reading "oh! She is deranged!". The background is pale yellow and the sketch is coloured and shaded. End ID]
THE TOH CREW INCLUDED THIS DYNAMIC FOR ME. SPECIFICALLY
#the owl house#toh#toh spoilers#amity blight#boscha toh#WHAT THE HELL I WROTE OUT ALL MY TAGS AND THEN THEY JUST DISAPPEARED WHEN I HIT POST#well. i guess now i am not posting my thoughts >:/ since this website is so against it >:/#it was just me rambling a wee bit about the process and the reqs i still have to do#anyway Ty for the request iris!! i might try and draw some raeda soon even tho i didn't do it here (i saw boscha and amity and blacked out)#they (raeda) have been on the brain lately#mostly in relation to billy joel songs...

Joel Miller x OFC - Untitled
Ok, so I'm trying to venture into writing fics for Joel Miller because I became obsessed with Pedro Pascal and I had no idea how tf that happened, lmaooo... it resulted into sooooooo many plot bunnies and scenarios I'm about to explode so I decided to share them here in tumblr first before I post them in AO3, like, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm so fvcking lame. Anyway, here's the plot bunny:
Synopsis, or something: Joel was tasked to smuggle a cargo out of the Boston QZ, but imagine his shock when the package turned out to be someone - the woman he had slept with a few weeks ago; the same one he mindlessly fvcked and felt guilty about afterwards but shoved back at the deepest pit of his subconscious. He didn't want the job, but he wanted the payment, and despite his better judgement, he took it with practiced callousness and detachment. He didn't know how much it was going to turn his life upside down. Again.
Some relative plot, bear with me: Yana really needed some medicine for her friend, and considering the ones she needed were hard to come by in the QZ, she was forced to resort to dealing with one of the best smugglers in the area. She was ready to bribe the man with a hefty ration cards when he took one look at her and said, "I want a blow job." For a moment, Yana was so shocked that she could only stare at the guy. And then she blurted out, "What? B-but I'm pregnant! Y-you really want a pregnant woman to s- do that to you?" The man only laughed. "I just think it'd be hot to have a pregnant lady on her knees sucking me off. I'm so pleased you came to me." Yana didn't want to, but she was desperate. So, she agreed to meet the man that night, dreading it so much she went back home feeling sick to her stomach. Of course, the man thought it would be such a nice idea to brag about his new deal to his smuggler friends, which was very wrong of him because the news reached the ears of one Joel Miller. The guy didn't even know that he had just signed his death warrant that day. That night, Yana came to the meeting place feeling all sorts of nervous, fighting the urge to turn back and run away. When she reached the man's hideout, she was surprised when he opened the door only a fraction and thrust the packet of medicine in her hand, briefly telling her that he'd changed his mind and she can have the medicine - free of charge. Yana grew more nervous, knowing nothing was ever free in the QZ, so she asked if he expected her to pay in any way other than what they've originally agreed upon, but the guy quickly shook his head and stammered out an unintelligible excuse before shutting the door to her face. Yana stared at the door for a few minutes, tears edging the rims of her eyes, before she walked away, clutching the precious medicine in her chest. Inside the hideout, the man turned around in fear to the shadow looming behind him and said, "I-I've already done what you've told me. I'm really s-sorry, I didn't know she was you gi-" He was unable to finish his sentence as Joel thrust his knife in his throat, twisting and then plunging it deeper, watching the life leave his eyes.
#For context Joel was trying to distance himself from Yana she's just a cargo to him that happened to be pregnant#he actually helps her behind her back even though he hates her (not)#he feels guilty about her and it's blurring all the lines#but there's a twist to this I swear lols#I felt relieved to get this outta my system you have no damn idea#I am so invested with Pedro Pascal's Joel Miller it's insane#anyway I have this in my head for so long you can read it too I guess#I KNOW this has potential I just have to go AND FVCKING WRITE IT DOWN#joel miller#pedro pascal#the last of us#joel miller x oc#joel miller fanfic#angsty joel miller#protective joel miller#joel miller x original character

if I had a nickle for every horror movie I watched wherein there was a friendly but clearly sleep deprived guy who had an obvious crush on the final girl, only to be dragged into the horror shenanigans while being a very good sport about it, before being ripped into by a demon beyond comprehension and was also being played by Kyle Gallner I'd have... I'd have 3 nickles.
Which is... like a lot. It's weird it happened 3 times.
#Nightmare on elm street (2010)#Quentin Smith#jennifers body#Colin Gray#Smile (2022)#Joel i dont think they mentioned a last name#was just trying to have a nice horror movie week#not to start wondering if this is all one cinematic universe#Anyways... smile was ok#i guess#they always gotta kill a cat though :(((#Horror#horror movies

Coming up with unique eyes <<<< coming up with unique noses
I CAN come up with unique eyes, but it's much harder. Noses, however? There's SO many options to choose from and SOOOO many ways to mess around with them and create new ones and exaggerate them and twist them and they have SUCH personalities. Unique noses my beloved.
I don't have my notebook where I did that rn but I drew all my nose designs of every Life series member on the margins and . Yeah. Yeah that's them. At least I look at those noses and nod my head. Yup. That's them, alright!
#my only problem is assigning characters straight noses. maybe it's bc i have it but they just. dont feel unique#so i don't use them at all#decided to use that for joel cause i couldn't come up with anything else that fit his personality#i guess i could use his irl nose but i try to limit how many noses i take from the ccs#jimmy's for example is based on the cc's because. thats my mental image of Jimmy basically. not fully but. basically#and Scar's is a Bit inspired by his cc but more exaggerated#everyone else's noses are made up by me and any coincidences are just that. coincidences.#anyway uh#carime rambles
