been rewatchin' BTAS recently. so here's is some of my absolute fav episodes to name. 📺💥
...
(naturally, that's not all of my favorite episodes, haha. BTAS is just nearly perfect in terms of writing of an animated show. aside from a couple of lackluster eps, an' a few that i just don't personally care about much.
but anyways …
‘blind as a bat’ was one of those eps, which actually made me so paranoid as a kid. losing your sight is one of the scariest things, which can happen to a person. an’ i love how they portrayed this via bruce, whose whole life is literally him fighting crime, but how will he do it now, when he can’t see anything? like, it doesn’t stop him of course. but man. it was so gut punching. BTAS not only understood batman / bruce, but they also gave him a lot of vulnerable moments like that. i mean, this was also one of like 2 or maybe 3 eps, where we see bruce tear up an’ it’s always gonna tug at my heart strings. admittingly, penguin mostly was there just to be well, an asshole, but i like how much it says about him, when he giddily an’ sadistically corners bruce, fully enjoying the fact, that he’s helpless.
‘eternal youth’, i gotta appreciate how terrifying this episode is. an’ the utterly messed up the concept behind it. i think, that BTAS had really nailed the fact, that poison ivy is honestly a horrifying person. her rapey gimmick aside, her motivations an’ how far she’s willing to go for it … oh, she’s such a delightful psycho! i love, love ivy who acts like this. a proper female villain to boot an’ who’s also not a one trick pony, but can bring a lot of more of awful an’ chilling things to the table. not to meantion, that it's always good to see batman's other rogues, than the clowns to threaten batman's loved ones, esp if they had no idea that they do it.
‘joker’s favor’, for what it worth i’m happy, that i still can fully enjoy joker an’ harley’s characters at least in some media. i suppose, arkhamverse is fine too, but over the years, i feel like both of the clowns were overused in literally everything under the sun to the point, where i’m unable to stomach them in most outlets nowadays. i jus’ don’ wanna look at them or hear about them or anything … but here? oh, what a blessing! the best harley to ever exist. an’ one of two jokers, that i actually really like. as for episode itself, this has such an interesting flavor to it. not only we get to see what it’s like for a normal gotham citizen to be at the wrong place an’ at the wrong time, but also what smth like that can do to an otherwise a simple, everyday man. also, the joker crawling on his knees like a coward is always great. since i feel like many writers forget that aside from a crazy murdereous psycho, he’s also supposed to be a narcissistic wimp, who’s deeply afraid of death. an’ it was harley’s debut ep too. she’s so casually evil in it as well. an’ that’s kinda why i drew her without a mask btw. since we do see her face in that very ep.
‘nothing to fear’. i’ve talked so much about that ep, but i don’t mind talking about it yet again. a life changer episode for me. i also remember that while ‘pretty poison’ was entertaining as heck, an’ ‘on leather wings’ was breathtaking in some scenes, i’m pretty sure, that it was ‘nothing to fear’, which fully convinced a child me, that i will be always on the clock, sitting next to tv to watch every following episode of this show. so, yeah, forever gentle of this one an’ the concept behind it. also so many parallels an’ bruce’s fee-fees. i love how jonathan would always have that deeper, private key to bruce’s mind. an’ how bruce is always there to terrify him right back.
‘read my lips’, when i was a kid, the twist of that episode made me so intrigued. bc i wouldn’t have ever thought about who the main villain was an’ how the show would handle it. like, you would expect a villain in typical sense. a man or a woman. or smth like that, not an actual dummy an' person who controls him, but belives that he's not. i love how this whole thing made bruce low-key paranoid as well, bc at some point, he also almost believes that the dummy is alive an’ cursed or smth. i also love how he doesn’t right away realizes that arnold is mentally ill an’ not just pretends like he is. bc it would have been such a clever scheme, if it was one to begin with.
to conclude this all, i will prob for sure ref those eps in my upcoming BTAS fic, bc yeah. i have a tunel vision in a way lol. but mmm, BTAS really feels like timeless classic at this point.)

if requests are open would you mind writing fem gojo, fem sukuna, maki, and nobara with a male!s/o who doesnt take anything seriously- like, hes the type to laugh during a serious situation
idk if youll do this or not lol i thought it was a good idea im a big supporter of ur work btw MALE/GN!READER SUPREMACY
Nobara,maki,fem!gojo, and fem!sukuna with a s/o who doesn't take anything seriously
A/n:Thanks, I appreciate the support, gn/male reader supremacy indeed
Nobara kugisaki
She treats you very similarly to how she treats yuji:sometimes she's mad and yells at you, and other times she's giggling and having fun with you
It really depends on the situation. If you're during a mission and the situation is serious, then she'll tell you to stop and take it seriously, but if you're laughing at something stupid, yuji did then she'll just join you
If she gets very mad at you for your lack of seriousness she won't talk to you for a while and wait for you to come and apologize
"Hey y/n, what the heck are you laughing about over here?"
"Sorry, it's just yuji slipped and fell down it was wo funny"
"Really? You have to show me"
"Yeah I filmed it"
"C-cmon guys"
Maki zenin
Sometimes, she wonders why she loves you. Genuinely, you two are just opposites and you annoy her so much most of the time
Unless it's an actually funny situation she'll scold you for being so unserious. Gojo already annoys her a lot and she doesn't need someone else like that giving her even more headaches
She gets mad at you a lot and will need a lot of time to get used to your demeanor, but when your relationship goes on for long enough, she'll get softer and be more understanding.....she still hits you when you're annoying though
"You idiot! We're fighting a curse and you're out here laughing? Be serious for once!"
"I think it's you who needs to relax more maki"
".........."
"O-ok sorry babe"
Fem!gojo

You two are just the same, always being silly and not taking anything seriously. You have so many inside jokes that no one else can understand, but that make you burst into laughter at any moment
You could be on a mission, hunting a very powerful curse, and gojo will just be showing you memes while firing off a red to take care of it, followed by both of you laughing about how weak it was
Everyone else is so annoyed by you two, especially satori's students who just sigh whenever her boyfriend walks into class, knowing you'll just start joking around and they won't get anything done
"Man, that curse was seriously a special grade? Man what a disappointment"
"I know, I'm sure even a sneeze would have killed it"
"Hehe, you're right about that"
Fem!sukuna

She's like nobara in the sense that her reaction to your personality depends on her mood
There are moments where she's feeling grumpy or unsatisfied, so she'll demand you stop being like this around her but also moments where she can be very unserious and laugh too, especially when she's fighting a weak enemy
She would be lying if she said she didn't find your silliness cute, especially when you're this happy because of something she did, but she'll never say it to your face
"Great job, ryomi, you annihilated that sorcerer like it was nothing, it was so much fun"
"I'm glad you found it enjoyable, but did you expect anything else"
"Of course not my queen, I love watching you fight"
"Eh, thank you, and I.....appreciate seeing your reaction"

I think that the main problem with Marinette is that she always gets blamed for minor things, but her bigger mistakes are ignored.
She also gets blamed for things that aren't her fault. Like Reverser I blame Nathaniel and his extreme expectations, and Refleckdoll, it was Alya who was making things worse for Juleka while Marinette was trying to help. Gamer's another as she did play fair and square, and won fair and square.
But yeah, ML has an issue with priorities. With the mindset that ONLY Marinette can be at fault, which has her at fault for things that actually aren't her fault or are minor things when there are bigger faults with others; and that, for Marinette's actual faults and issues, they don't focus on the actual problems.
For one thing, Marinette is a perfectionist, in her work and responsibilities, and in how she helps people. This leads to her being meddling and controlling. With good intentions but she can take it far. She even has this idea that only she can be the solution, though more in an Atlas complex way than being egotistical.
Which I'll give the show this, by how it's set up, Adrien and Marinette kinda feed this bad aspect of their dynamic into each other. Adrien goofs around as a hero or doesn't take situations seriously with his flirting at bad times, so Marinette feels like she has to step up more as leader and responsible one, and Adrien doesn't get a chance to take things more seriously or be the leader as Marinette doesn't expect him to, which leads to his frustration of not being as valued as a partner like he wants and he acts out, and Marinette sees she can't rely on him as much and it just cycles.
I know the show sorta tries to address this with the insistence that Marinette can trust Alya and doesn't need to shoulder everything, which is great, if they didn't take it back right away validating Marinette in being right in not trusting Alya.
Which man, that's one of Marinette's actual big issues, and you address it, and then take two steps back and reverse and vindicate the flawful mindset.
Another big issue is her over involving herself in this she doesn't or shouldn't get involved with, meddling included. She could do to ease back, let others solve their own problems. Like, Darkblade comes to mind (though there may be a better example). I do think it was a good episode, but you got Marinette admitting she's already busy, and doesn't want to be class rep, but steps up as no one else is. This is just an added responsibility she doesn't need but does so because she's involving herself in others problems.
This also leads into the other issue: Marinette's tendency to overpile onto her plate. They even focused on this in Gamer 2.0 but instead of doing a lesson of learning to ease up, take a break, and have fun (which Adrien could've been great for, heck, could've had them bond over a busy lifestyle); but nope, she passes Max off to her parents and continue being busy.
And of course, there's the big issue of her crush.
Like, they're 13-14 yos dealing with first crushes, they're going to be cringe and crazy as they don't know how to handle this, but they just take it way too far. And the extremes it's taken isn't even funny but concerning.
Marinette having his schedule.
The hoard of pictures.
Jealousy that spirals to extremes.
And having rose colored view of Adrien, to thinking he can never do wrong and feeling like she needs to protect and assist him, even at the risk of herself (Collector).
Part of the worst part about this is that this exists for the writers' amusement, taking it to unlikable extremes and not portrayed as really bad flaws that need to be addressed or have lessons about; which leads me to question what's the exaggeration and what can be more accurate/reasonable for the cringey, dramatic crush. Some of which could've been fine issues to fault her for and for her to get called out and learn from, but we don't get that, all we get is unpleasantness.
Oh! You could also cover Marinette's lack of prioritizing herself, and may not knowing how to take a break and have fun. Cause I don't know if this girl knows how to relax. And she definitely doesn't behave like a kid, but much older. Could even delve into the friendship problems she has not really connecting with her friends as well because she doesn't know how to be a kid, how to mess around and goof off.
Marinette has a good number of issues and flaws that can be addressed and worked with, but they pick the wrong ones to focus on.

Okay I watched the Six Triple Eight movie and I've been sitting with it for the last couple of days just sorting my thoughts and reflecting on how I feel about it. So here are all of my thoughts. What I liked, loved, hated, disliked but begrudgingly accepted. All of it.
Overall I LOVED IT!! AAHHHH!!!! It was a great movie and the history was pretty damn on point and I'm still so thrilled to have this movie in existence!!!!!! WE HAVE A MOVIE ABOUT THE WACS!! ABOUT THE 6888!!! THAT THE PUBLIC IS WATCHING AND ENJOYING AND WANTING TO LEARN MORE!!!! THAT'S SO IMPORTANT TO ME!!! It was so amazing to see so many women on screen during a WWII/war movie. I cried many many times. I'm so happy you guys. So happy.
Were there mistakes? Absolutely. Did those mistakes piss me off? Of course. I always get pissed at historical mistakes and the WACs are my historical specialty. Heck I know the historical consultant personally. But I knew going in that this is a Tyler Perry movie on a Netflix budget so of course there were going to be mistakes and things that are embellished for entertainment purposes. I prepared myself for it. So yes, overall I'm very happy with the film.







But lets go deep into it shall we!
Putting in a read more because I am detailed and long winded lol
Let's start with what I feel like was the good.
First of all, and what I feel like is one of the MOST important things about this movie: We have a movie about WOMEN in WWII. About Women of COLOR in WWII. About the WOMEN'S ARMY CORPS itself. We have a movie where the WAC are at the forefront of a war movie instead of being blurry background images with no names faces or lines OR just nurses acting as a romantic plot device to lift a man's story before disappearing never to be heard from again. Now we have a full movie just about THEM. And I fucking love it!! I want MORE!!!! And this film is getting people interested in history and wanting to learn more about not only the WACs but the 6888 themselves which will lead to more interest in women's history and women's history during WWII which makes me so fucking happy I could SCREAM!!!!! That's so amazing and so important and if anyone wants some more resources to learn more hit me up! I'm happy to share things!
In terms of the plot/story I'm fairly pleased with it too. Knowing it's a lower budget Tyler Perry Netflix movie, I fully expected them to sensationalize, exaggerate and change a lot of the real history. And yes they did do this a few times but the meat of the story is accurate. A lot of the story was accurate. More accurate than I expected.
The processing of new WACs, the gas mask drill, the voyage over, the marching through the streets upon arrival in England, the state of the King Edward School, the process of sorting the mail, all of the extra steps they all took to locate the men, the church scene, the loss of several women, the scene of Adams saying "over my dead body", etc. were all TRUE. That happened!! And I loved how it was all shown. I really really do.
However, I don't like that they changed the reason Lena joined the WACs to go from fighting for her country to be a romantic/for a dude story. I'm so tired of amatanormativity jeezus christ. Why does everything have to have romance in it. I mean I get why they shoehorned that plot in there. It's for the public who expect and apparently need a romance plot or whatever. But yeah I didn't like that. Was it a good story? Sure I guess. If you don't know the truth and like romance plots. I mean, Lena and Hugh were already married when she decided to join the WACs.
I also don't like that they changed the story of the women who lost their lives. In fact this is the one plot point that infuriates me the most. The rest I could overlook and accept as film nonsense that was always gonna happen for dramatic effect. But this? What was the point. First of all it was 3 women who lost their lives. In a jeep accident. They were not blown up because they went off the prescribed course. They didn't even give them the names of the real women who died. Which were Dolores Browne, Mary Barlow, and Mary Barkston. The emotional impact was lovely and I may have cried a little watching it but that doesn't mean I'm not so mad that it was changed. At least that WAS included in the movie that women died. And the part about raising money for the caskets is true as well. Charity Adams wrote about it in her memoirs. They took up a collection to purchase caskets and sent 3 women who matched the deceased women's measurements to buy them. Then they gave them a Protestant (for 2 of them) and a Catholic (for 1 of them) ceremony. The 3 women are now buried in the Colleville-Sur-Mer Normandy American Cemetery. That was true. And I'm glad all of this was included because the regular movie watcher should know this happened even if the facts weren't quite right.
I loved the ending. A lot. I sobbed when they returned home and were saluted by the men who benefited from the work of the 6888th. I SOBBED when they started playing the real footage of the battalion and the interviews with the members. SOBBED. I was a fucking mess after that segment and I'm BEYOND glad that it was included. That was the most important part of the whole damn movie. This story is REAL and about REAL women and you should go learn about them!
I literally clapped and cheered during the marching segment. I'm such a nerd for proper WAC drill. That dress right dress and cover down was SO GOOD!! Anyone who's been at my mercy when trying to learn drill should know that it's not easy to do. But these ladies were SHARP and SNAPPY and BEAUTIFUL! Ugh I loved it! That's what I am my unit to look like one day! The marching itself was a little weird though. They were picking up their feet way too much. It's like they were stomping down the street when it should have been a smooth roll step. And some of the ladies didn't have the arm swing down either. But the eyes right and salute moment!?! Aaaaahhhh!!! I screamed!!! In a good way!!! That movement was so smooth!!! So good!! And it felt, emotionally, so good to watch this giant group of women march down the street. Ugh I loved that.
This one is unique to me but The Phantom!!! I may have waved at the Phantom like it's my friend lol. Shoutout to my friends who own that vehicle!! The Phantom is a star!! I've ridden in that vehicle many times!! And my other friends car is in the movie too!! So fun!!!

I like the montage of the work WACs did post graduation. That had the feeling of a WAC recruitment video and I enjoyed it a lot. That was cool AND ACCURATE!!!!!!!!
Kerry Washington and Milauna Jackson had great chemistry together and every time they were on screen together I was having a blast.
THE WAC BAND!! WAC BAND!! WAC MUSICIANS! THERE WERE WAC MUSICIANS!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! If you know me at all you know how OBSESSED with the WAC musicians I am. And the dance music for the movie was provided by the black WACs and I loved that. So. Much. Was it accurate to have a full WAC band stationed in England? Fuck no. Not at all. The 404th WAC band never left the US. Do I care? Not at all. I was too excited to see those women playing to care. Sorry not sorry.

Okay now the bad. Hoo boy.
Obviously what I've already stated above about the factual errors. The incorrect facts regarding Lena, the women who died, the made up General Halt (you couldn't pick an actual general to use? why did you make one up?), the conclusion of the inspection and the "over my dead body" situation, etc.
The uniforms. Oh my god the uniforms. What the hell happened!? Now I will say, IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!!! So much worse!! We've seen worse!! At least they were all wearing correct uniform pieces. Every uniform they wore was correct. I saw correct service uniforms, correct HBTs, correct officer uniforms, mostly correct M43s (where the fuck were their leggings?!). So thank god for that. The problem is that the uniforms were so sloppy!! Throughout the movie I kept shaking my head over the sloppy uniforms. Hats that are not on people's head properly. Shirt collars that are popped or crooked. Ill fitting jackets. Garrison caps ok wrong. Crushed Hobby Hats. Leggings not worn or worn backwards. The purses on the WRONG shoulder!






Horrifying. But this stuff wasn't the most egregious error of the film! This is the WORST thing in it. The upside down officers cap badge on Milauna was the WORST. That is unforgivable. How does that even happen!?! How did no one see it and go "oh wait we gotta fix that?" Especially when Kerry Washington was in the same scene wearing the same uniform! How! Does! This! Happen!?! Utterly ridiculous.

I will say that I did chuckle for a bit because I kept thinking about my experience with the shit repro uniforms we have as reenactors and how I've dealt with a lot of the problems the movie had. I don't fit in original pieces so I have to rely on repros. I've dealt with my collars bunching weirdly, my hobby hat getting bent/crushed and not getting back into shape properly. I laughed out loud at the whole "my titties won't fit in my shirt" moment because SAME GIRL!! Big breasted girls know that pain. They make my shirt look so weird sometimes. Did I like the way it was said? Fuck no. I hated Johnnie's character so much. Why did she phrase it like that. Felt way too modern. Even if I could relate to trying to fit my big boobs into my wool shirt. And when I first started reenacting I definitely wore insignia wrong once or twice and once I put my garrison cap on backwards and didn't realize it and no one told me it was backwards so whoops. So I can accept some of the sloppiness because I've been there.
But just because I can relate to this all doesn't make it acceptable for a film! This is not something that should have shitty looking uniforms like this!! You have the time and the money and the resources!! The uniforms should fit and be worn CORRECTLY!! There is no excuse for the mistakes made. None. Not when you have all the references and access to veterans of the 6888 and a freaking historical advisor that I KNOW would have told you THIS IS WRONG! And so much of it is so easily fixable! Pull that hat down so it's on your head. Roll the hair up more. Curl her hair. Twist the insignia so it's the other way. Get her a bigger jacket and her a smaller one. EASY TO FIX.
I like a lot of the hair but the ones that were wrong were SO wrong it was PAINFUL! Johnnie's straight hair made me scream. It looked horrible all the time. Why did so many of them have their hair down below their collars at the dance!?!!!!! WHY!?!?! Sure it's pretty, but IT'S BELOW YOUR COLLAR!!!! STOP!!! Why was that one white WAC in a BUN!?! Why!!!??





And the salutes!!! HORRIBLE!! Salutes aren't that hard!! Why did they all either salute like a Brit with the palm facing front or with the most crooked hand ever.


Also plot wise, what was the point of introducing us to the supporting characters of all they were going to do was be a prop for Lena. We should have been given more about them. They needed more plots, more story, more characterization, more depth. I wanted more from them.
Overall I really really enjoyed the movie and the things that I disliked are not enough for me to say this was a bad movie. It wasn't. I do highly encourage everyone who watched the movie to check out some of the following resources to learn more about these incredible women:

Hi there! I saw your LotR imagine about an animal companion and thought it was adorable!! Could you do one but with a cat instead? It could either be a normal sized cat or a big one, your choice! I just love cats! Hope you have a good day today!
Heck yeah! I’m more of a cat person too so this resonates with me far more than the other 😆 dude, I'm so sorry this took so long but I hope you like it Liv 🖤
The Fellowship With Your Feline Companion
Aragorn
✧ It does not escape you the way he raises his eyebrows upon first seeing the cat perched upon your shoulder.
✧ But you misunderstand him- Aragorn is well used to forming deep bonds with animals, his just happen to be with horses and all he’s thinking is what a surprise it is you got the cat to stay.
✧ Never will you forget his expression of polite, stoic surprise the first time your cat clambers onto him and settles there and the subsequent smile you share.
✧ You often catch him whispering in Elvish to your cat. Even if you cannot understand the words, they seem to have a calming effect.
✧ “All lives are valuable. Even the smallest ones.”
Legolas
✧ “And who is this?” Legolas asks upon meeting you, dark eyes glinting with mirth as they fix upon your cat, who currently perches upon your shoulder.
✧ Reticent as your companion tends to remain, the kind hands of the elven prince bring forth purrs and soft eyes of peace easily.
✧ Legolas takes to borrowing your companion for trips up the trees. Sometimes they return with a casualty, your cat having claimed a bird as prey on the climbing and scouting trip.
✧ Quite impressed is the woodland prince with the way you developed an archery method with a cat upon your shoulder. Perhaps he may even have to try it!
✧ Always refers to the cat as ‘your guardian’ as if you are not the one providing feed and care! You frequently tease each other about who owns who in the relationship.
Boromir
✧ "And the cat is going with you?" You did not appreciate his teasing skepticism. "Yes," you answered, tone hard, "Take it or leave it. You want me on this journey, you get him."
✧ He tries. Boromir tries to break through your layers of frost, but no success. At least not until the night your feline companion clambers off of the log by your side and onto his lap, accepting the shred of meat he is offered. The man sighs as your beloved cat tears in. "He is so small. So innocent in all of this. I simply do not want to see him hurt. You understand that, right?"
✧ After that, you notice Boromir’s efforts. The nest he built your companion to sleep in and the way he stands right at its side every night watch.
✧ Boromir is absolutely the type to pout when he calls or beckons to him and your cat completely ignores him, prompting you to burst out laughing every time.
✧ Sometimes he is a bit rough when he makes to pet or scratch your cat, prompting you to take and guide his hand in gently stroking him.
Gimli
✧ "Does he bite?" The dwarf asked, cautiously extending a hand. "Not unless I tell her to," you subtly corrected.
✧ It becomes a bit of a joke between you and Gimli- any time he gives you some sort of hassle, you jokingly threaten to sic your beast upon him even if she’s just sitting there purring in your lap.
✧ Picks pieces of meat from fireside suppers, selecting them as carefully as a royal beefeater for his queen and smiling with great pleasure when they are enjoyed.
✧ Insists that beside you, he is your cat’s favorite. Bickers with Legolas for this position more often than you’d have expected.
✧ Gimli has a field day when he, upon taking off his helmet, discovers your cat wedged inside curled up tightly. “Well, I suppose I go now into battle with no helmet. If I’m struck atop the head, remember me, cat!” He says this all as if he is not grinning ear to ear.
Frodo
✧ “You remind me of Strider,” he tells you early in your journey together, “One with nature as you are. Though I must say you carry a much fairer presence.”
✧ Your cat has never shown such maternal instinct as when Frodo joins her life. The weight of the ring suffocates him, but the touch of fur is just as grounding, her weight upon his lap a welcome one that brings reality back before his eyes.
✧ She even saves his life at one point, leaping onto him right before the ring could slide onto his finger.
✧ You find yourself gravitating toward Frodo’s side more and more, smiling at the way his fingers instinctually tangle in the soft fur upon your shoulder.
✧ Frodo is the only one your cat allows to pick up and hold her except for you.
Sam
✧ “Are you a wizard like Gandalf?” Pure amusement and endearment overtook your neutral expression, shattering it in favor of a smile at the hobbit, who himself looked a combination of awed and frightened. “It’s because of the black cat, isn’t it?”
✧ Insistent as you are that your cat is not some fabled familiar or enchantment, Samwise still addresses your second half with nothing short of reverence. Perhaps even a title.
✧ Absolutely delighted to make tiny plates of whatever you guys eat or just for giblets to give the newest quest member.
✧ Knowing as much as he does about plants, Sam is able to identify, harvest, and dry some catnip to put in a little tear of fabric. Suffice it to say he really has a friend after that!
✧ “You know,” Sam remarks one night by the fire as you lay side by side, his hand gently stroking your feline companion’s fur, “It’s nice. Having a comfort like this. Almost like you’ve brought a piece of home. Then again, you are home to each other, aren’t you?” “We are indeed,” you agree with a soft smile.
Merry
✧ Having a hobbit pull a little sword on you was certainly not on your day's itinerary. "Well, you are just full of surprises, aren't you?" You quipped. "I could say the same to you," the golden-haired hobbit replied, nodding his curly head toward the cat winding between your booted feet.
✧ Once you are recognized as friend rather than foe, Merry wants to know hear the story behind your becoming a duo, sitting next to you at the fire and listening intently, eyes remaining fixed upon yours.
✧ “So you were nothing more than a baby?” Merry leans on his folded arms, addressing your cat as if expecting an answer. “Just a stray? And look at you now! Big and strong. You had someone to take good care of you.”
✧ “Forgive me for asking this,” the hobbit inquires one day with a tug upon your cloak, “But how do you fight? With, you know…” “I’m an archer,” you chuckle, “We stay as far away as we can help and keep to our very specific shoulders. It can be a little clumsy sometimes, but I do alright. Haven’t died yet.”
✧ Rustling at your side is not an uncommon thing for you to wake to- rustling accompanied, of course, by the sight of Merry scooting his bedroll closer across the dirt until his hand can reach your beloved pet.

Be My House Husband p3
At the Vale Summer Fair
Jaune is participating in a cooking competition. This year's theme is barbecue. So he brought along his famous pork ribs covered in a special siracha and barbecue sauce. Plus a few secret ingredients that are valid in the competition rules.
Jaune: *Shaking a little*
Coco: Nervous?
Jaune: Hm? Oh! Coco, I didn't expect to see you here.
Coco: And miss out on a chance to see you, hottie? Not even in dreams.
Normally Jaune would blush at this point and tell her to stop, but he doesn't say anything. Coco stares at him and she can see that he's distracted. His mind is elsewhere.
Coco: Jaune?
Jaune: Oh sorry! Yes?
Coco: Are you okay? *She asks concerned*
Jaune: Y-Yes, I'm totally fine.
Coco: Jaune....
She stares into Jaune's eyes and he sighs.
Jaune: This isn't my first time doing this, actually. I really put a lot of effort into my dish. But I don't think it's enough. I mean, look at the guy over there. He brought a whole pig, the guy over there brought three-meat sausages, and the guy over there…
At that moment Coco took his hand and he stops. He then looks at her and Coco starts talking.
Coco: Jaune, I've eaten your food and I can safely say that you are the best chef I know. There's no way you're going to lose this competition.
Jaune: But the others...
Coco: Forget about the others. In the end, what will decide the winner is not how complicated the dish was, but how tasty it is. So believe in yourself the same way I believe in you, okay?
Jaune stares at her for a few seconds, absorbing every word she said. That calmed him down a bit and with a smile he answers back.
Jaune: You're right, I have to trust in my abilities. Thanks Coco.
Coco: You're welcome, tiger. *She winks at him* Now where are the rest of your friends? I thought I'd run into your team or team RWBY by now.
Jaune: They couldn't come.
Coco: What? Why?
Jaune: They had plans, but that's okay.
Coco: If you say so. Oh! I think the judges are coming. Good luck!
She then gives him two thumbs up and walks away.
Jaune: *Looking at her walk away* Thank you.
The competition continued and after a couple of hours, the judges finally came to a decision. All the contestants are standing on the podium as they await the results. While spectators watch attentively from the stands.
The master of ceremonies together with the judges are in front of the podium. Two of them hold a trophy and a plaque while the other holds the envelope with the winner.
Master of ceremonies: Ladies and Gentlemen's. After a long discussion, the judges came to a decision.
Judge 1: *gives him the envelope*
Master of ceremonies: *He takes an envelope and starts to open it* This year's winner is… *He pulls out the paper and…* Jaune Arc!
Jaune: *Shock* What?
Coco: Heck Yeah!! That's my future husband! WOOHOO!!!
Jaune walks to the center of the podium and receives his first place plaque and trophy.
Judge 1: *Shakes his hand* Congratulations, young man.
The crowd applauds in excitement. People then approach him to congratulate him and talk a little more about his dish. It was a great day for him. As time went by the celebration began to die down and he stepped away from everyone to get some air. He finds an empty bench and sits down.
Jaune: *Sighs*
Coco: I told you you'd win.
Jaune turned to see Coco giving her famous smile. But this time she looked different, Jaune could see how the warm light of the festival made her skin shine like the sunset. Her eyes were so beautiful; dark brown like wood. And her hair, was her hair always looked this nice?
Coco: Hello~ Jaune are you there?
Jaune: *Blushing* Huh?! Oh! Sorry! I was thinking on something else.
Coco: Was it about me?~💕
Jaune: *Red* Huh?!!
Coco: Hahaha, I'm just messing with you. Can I sit beside you?
Jaune: *Looks away* S-Sure.
She sits beside him and looks at the starry sky.
Coco: Today the stars look beautiful, don't you think?
Jaune: *Looks at Coco* I... I think so
Coco: *Looks at him* So how do you plan to celebrate your victory?
Jaune: Um... well, I never thought about that.
Coco: That's what I thought, that's why I took the liberty of calling everyone to tell them about your victory and preparing a table for us at Imos Pizza, your favorite pizzeria. My treat.
Jaune: *Smiles* Thank you, Coco.
Coco: Don't even mention it. Now get up and let's eat.
She stands up but jaune grabs her hand.
Jaune: Wait
Coco: Hm?
Jaune: Before we go I just want to say that… Well… Thank you very much for your help.
Coco: It was nothing.
Jaune: It was something!
Coco was a little surprised by Jaune's raised voice. So she looks at him intently, paying attention to every word.
Jaune: I was so nervous about this competition and I thought my friends would be here to support me. But they couldn't come. But you came and not only helped me with my nerves, but you also trusted me. And that's why I… I…
Coco: *Nervous* (Is he... Is he about to....)
At that moment Coco's phone started ringing.
Coco: Sorry! *She immediately grabs her phone and puts it on silent* Sorry about that. You were saying…
Jaune: I... I want to thank you.
Coco: Just that?
Jaune: Y-Yes...
Coco: O-Ok, so should we go now?
Jaune: After you.
Coco: Ok
As she takes the lead while Jaune walks beside her, Jaune can't stop glancing at Coco and a crazy idea pops into his head.
Coco: By the way, Jaune. *She turns to look at him* What kind of pizza do you wan-!!!
At that moment Coco is kissed by Jaune on the lips. She freezes and a few seconds later Jaune realizes what he did.
Jaune: Sorry! I just wanted to kiss you on the cheek! I didn't mean to kiss you on the lips! Um…! I'll see you at the restaurant!
Jaune ran away, leaving Coco behind. Coco can't believe what just happened, and slowly a huge smile fills her face. Jaune just kissed her.
Coco: *giggling like a school girl* Jaune just kissed me. He freaking kiss me! Today is the best day of my life!!

You look good in red. Ivo Robotnik and Agent Stone. Shades of pre-Stobotnik. Blood, gore, torture, whump. Robotnik pisses off the wrong person, and he bleeds for it.
This is entirely dialogue; I’ve done this sort of story once or twice before and it’s always a challenge. It’s been a hecking good time to write, though. The speaker is nobody in particular, though I picture a grad student with an axe to grind.
——————
The hardest part is being patient, you know? All I really want to do is tear your skin off, pour salt in the wound and grind it in. Make you really understand that you’re fucked, that even if he comes for you it’ll be too late. You think he’ll still look at you like you hung the moon? Or will he hesitate, stopping short when he sees what you really look like underneath it all? Assuming you live, of course, which I kinda doubt. Wouldn’t want to leave any loose ends.
But let’s start small, shall we? It wouldn’t do to end this party before we’ve even begun. Give me your hand— yes, I know you don’t want to and I don’t care. So hand—hah— it over. No? Okay. This is. Ugh. This is why you’re tied up, you know. If you’d just do what you’re told there wouldn’t be a problem. For me anyway. So which finger is it going to be? My vote’s for the fourth finger. Not like you’ll be needing it for a ring anytime soon. Let’s see, where did I put that— oh, there it is. A chisel’s pretty classic, right? It’s kinda sharp and everything. Hang tight a sec, I’ve just gotta grab the mallet.
There we go. A little more blood than I expected, but that’s cool. Now quit hollering or I’m gonna make you eat it. Crunch it right up. Yeah, that’s what I thought, old man. Hey, you know what sounds fun? Lemme just grab one of these skewers here aaaaand oh yeah, okay, super gross. Are those tendons? Here, come on. Take a look. What do you mean you’re not that kind of doctor? Fuckin useless, aren’t you, then?
I know you’re not used to this. It must be hard, being the guy things are done to instead of the other way around. You’re kinda pretty, though, with all the bruises and everything. Really makes your eyes pop. Mmm, that gives me a great idea. But hang on, you’re getting a call. Well, would you look who it is. I’ll put him on speaker.
Hey there, Agent. How’ve you been? Listen, I think I have something of yours. Bitchy, sharp dresser, mustache? Looks like he fails people’s dissertation defenses for kicks? Yeah, that’s the one. Go on, say hello. Bet he’s just dying to hear from you. I didn't intend for this to be a show, but that’s alright. This makes it even better; you’ll never reach him in time, so this is gonna be your last memory of him: screaming til his voice gives out, then moaning and gasping until that final breath.
You hear that tearing sound? It’s just his shirt, nothing special. Looks like our dear Doctor could use a little sun, though. Did you know he’s got freckles all over his chest? They’re cute; I wonder if they go all the way down. I bet you’d hate to find out like this, you poor thing. I’m gonna carve them right off him, one at a time. Maybe I’ll save them in a jar for you. There’s one down. He just bleeds so pretty, you know. That’s two. He could use a little more red on him, though. Let’s open him up a bit. Oh, you should see his face. I think I’m even starting to see a little fear.
Don’t worry, Doc. I’m not done with you yet. We’ve still got hours to go. All I did was take a little strip of skin right over his ribs, juuuust wide enough to drag a finger through. He’s such a delicate thing, once you get down to it. All men are mortal; all men bleed. You’re not special, not better than me. You’re just some guy, just some asshole who figured out how to push hard enough to get whatever he wanted. Shh, it’s okay. I know you couldn’t help it. It’s just who you are.
Zip it, Agent, or I’m hanging up, and I know you wouldn’t want to leave him alone. Whatever you were gonna say, I guess you should’ve said it earlier. So just go on and think those sweet desperate thoughts as hard as you can. Maybe he’ll even hear them somehow. Doesn’t matter to me, so long as you shut up and let me work. There goes another slice. God, just listen to the sounds he makes. If I wasn’t here myself I’d say he was getting the best fuck of his life. Ooh did I strike a nerve there? Damn, talk about missed opportunities, you sad little—
What do you mean, time to hang up now? Don’t you want to— oh. Oh shit. Whoa, easy there, no need to get all crazy. Let’s just settle down. He’s okay, see? Almost intact, even, which he won’t be if you get any closer. Are you fucking stupid? Back off, and maybe I’ll let you say goodbye before I cut his fucking throat. Let’s talk about this. We don’t want to do anything rash. Come on, man, shit, just take him. What more do you want from me?

♡Across the Spiderverse: Relationship Hc's♡

Pavitr Prabhakar x reader
Genre: Fluff, SFW
Warnings: Pavitr being the only guy ever, reader is gender neutral, reader is a poc 🤷
Summary: Idk man I'm just raw dogging this till I hit a wall, bc brainrot be like that sometimes.
_______________________________________
You met Pavitr while he was changing out of his hero costume.
It was an accident! There was an attack near your school that halted the day, luckily, spiderman was there to help save the day.
Though it took a you a minute to recollect your emotions after that very scarring experience(you will have to speak to your therapist about this), you decided that it would be a great idea to go to the bathroom where upon enter you see Pavitr, the boy in the class next to yours changing into his uniform and a spiderman costume laid near the sink. "Oh heck-"
After a lot of explaining ang gifts of bribery(boyish charm included) over the course of a month you began dating the boy. Yeah you, dating spiderman, crazy right?
When you began dating him, Pavitr would info dump about tea because his aunt did the same to him, it was a vicious cycle.
His nose would scrunch up everytime you got a fact about something wrong, but he never dares to correct you.
Expect random peck on your cheek throughout the day, but kisses on the lips fluster him too much.
"I love you." "Mhmm.." "Say it back!" You have to say it back or he will make it a problem for the rest of the day.
Pavitr will always stare at you while you do your last minute assignments, he already did his but he likes seeing you look messy while you're rushing to turn in work that is due in an hour.
"It's easy being spiderman!" Is what he always says, but he hates being spiderman when it makes you stay up waiting for him.
Sometimes when he comes home late at night, he meets your sleeping body in his bed, he hums in delight at the sight and lays next to you; watching your breathing as it rises and falls.

My Thoughts on Volume 2's Bonus Story
Spoilers and Suggestive Discussion Abound!
Yes yes, I know I'm extremely late to all this, Amazon can be blamed for that. But, I have finally gotten my copy and have now read through the bonus story: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde meet Dracula.
As the resident big spicy writer in the fandom, this was something I was looking forward to reading ever since Sage had hyped it up.
My verdict after reading it? It was amazing, on the same level as the prior bonus story, heck I'd even say it's better, but maybe that's the bias talking. Since you're looking past the -keep reading- line, I'll assume you've read it already so I won't waste time summarizing the story's events. Let's get to what I want to gush about most.
Dracula in this story is simple, yet eerily effective. Every time he talks, you get why anyone would be swayed into being controlled by him, molded into whatever he wanted out of them. He may look creepy, but as Jekyll proves, a voice can do a lot. Definitely makes me think that- paired with his liking to Lanyon's voice -our favourite repressed gentleman has a thing for attractive voices. Noted for future use.
And speaking of Lanyon, this has some great character stuff with him. The sniping him and Jekyll have at the start was so good, I was gasping at their comments. The way we got to see a glimpse at his home life as an adult, saw his view of how to act around others, especially the nastier folks you can meet in the upper class of London, it was all fantastic! Later, him using the gun was very sexy of him, and him putting Jekyll's own way of interacting with others to good use so as to save the man he loves was the sweetest thing ever.
Of course, he wasn't alone in trying to save Jekyll.
Ah, Rachel. Rachel Pidgley, the woman that you are. Seriously, this bonus story gave me a greater appreciation for her character, it was a delight to read her shit talking the rich and kicking vampire ass.
But, if you've been on this blog long enough, you'll know I'm a big fan of Hyde, and yeah, I really enjoyed his part in this story. Though he doesn't have a huge role in the narrative, what I got was rather interesting. This happens during the early days of his shared existence with Jekyll, and it doesn't appear that they have a lot of ire towards one another. Like, they just do their own things and don't bother each other, which is great compared to their present dynamic.
Child Hyde and Child Jekyll are adorable, no surprise there, but that moment as Hyde tries to help Jekyll without much complaining as would be expected nowadays hit me. Especially as the false love that Child Jekyll is getting turns into vitriol towards Hyde when he tries to get him away from them, cursing him out for not being anything like his "better" half. The tears welling up, the clawing at the window between the mind and the conscious world when Lanyon gave them an opening, him secretly admitting that he needs him?!
My Lanyde heart was aflutter and my angst loving mind buzzed with joy. And then, of course, we come to that ending.
Oh gods, that ending. Jekyon shippers were fed like it was their last fecking meal, and I was hooked throughout it all: Rachel's badassery, Lanyon's love beating out his rage, Hyde focusing Jekyll so that he can save Lanyon and him being the one to kill Dracula, then him and Lanyon recovering in The Society's med-bay (always knew they had one) while being lovey dovey and flirty with one another, it was all just wonderful from start to finish.
But then the final page came and sent me like nothing else, because I was not prepared for Lanyon being horny on main towards Jekyll WHILE RACHEL AND ITO WERE RIGHT THERE, like, my guy, you need to chill, this was so insane of him, I loved it! XD
But then again, apparently our favourite frontal lobe sharing duo weren't so bothered, because they apparently got a little too excited about the prospect of Lanyon as a vampire, AND THAT'S HOW THE STORY ENDS! Sage had the audacity to end it with these two arguing over who manifested a wet dream about Lanyon, while then stating that- no matter what either said -they were both guilty, and I respect that so damn much. It's both funny, spicy, and even a tad sweet when you look past the "horny for vampire Lanyon" layer.
They both love this man, and after this story, I get it.
To think, they don't even know what the actual comic's story has in store for them. Canon or not, Sage knocked it out of the park with this bonus story. It's just super validating to see this kind of story from the author of the comic. My hat goes off to them, 5 stars.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to put Hyde through this new and fresh Dracula style angst Sage has gifted to us all.
Have a good week, stay hydrated and stay safe. Love you all! -RB. X3

saw an anon ask what you think eremikas first kiss was like and it got me thinking. what do you think jeanpikus first kiss was like?
Hello anon!
Today seems like a good day to answer this ask (ifkyk) - so! Let's get to it!
I hc that between Jean and Pieck, it's Pieck who tends to naturally take the lead. Perhaps that's because I focus on her carefree & eccentric personality, because it just goes soooo well with Jean's expectations (well, more like against), and provides this excellent friction that always remains entertaining.
So then, I also hc that Pieck has experience while Jean lacks any.
Cue he's pretending to be very smooth and suave, acting like he's kissed a hundred people before her (while in reality he hasn't, he's a sad simp like that), probably even talking too much about the kiss(that-hasn't-happened-yet) itself until it begins to sound ridiculous. Pieck ends up staring at him like he's grown two heads, because wtf is he actually going on about?
"Hahahhaa, yeah, and then I kissed this other girl, and man- her lipstick was great, I got it all over my face and-"
Seriously wtf?
So when they finally get around to kissing, it's Pieck who teaches Jean some valuable tips and tricks and ends up making him fizzle out in embarrassment. Listen, she can be ONE HECK of a tease.
She's tonguing the hell out of Jean.

There’s a sweet moment in the AU where Starline has to carry Hex to his and Lug’s shared room in the dorms when he falls asleep in the lab while helping him.
The two have a small heart to heart, and it’s about this time that Starline begin to slowly realize he’s getting attached to the group.
— Short Fanfic - A Heart to Heart 📙
🎵 Accompanying Theme: Spirited Away - The Sixth Station
Lug answered the knock on his door, wondering who could be coming by so late, and found himself rather surprised and confused to see Starline standing on the other side of it.
As if to answer his unspoken question, the platypus looked down to the small purple rat in his arms before holding him out to him. “I believe… this is yours.”
Lug’s tense expression immediately softened in understanding, and he sighed, letting Starline transfer Hex over to him. “Ah… so the little man fell asleep in the lab, huh? Hah. I told him not to stay up past his bedtime. But would he listen to me? Noooo.”
Starline chuckled, smiling as he observed the sleeping child now nestled against the safety his friend’s broad chest. He looked downright tiny in comparison. “Yes, well… he certainly tried his best.”
Lug laughed softly—quite a stark contrast to his usual loud self—and gazed down at his rat friend warmly. “You uh, you should’a heard him earlier today, doc. Goin’ on and on about how he just HAD to stay up so he could help ‘the great Dr. Starline’ finish his power coupler—dozzamahicky thing, and all that. Couldn’t talk him outta it for nothing, even though the kid and I both know he can hardly keep his eyes open past 10.”
Starline could sense there was a gravity to his words as the bulldog lifted his gaze to meet his. It was intimidating due to his size, and Starline had to resist the instinctive urge to step back.
“Y’know, he uh, he looks up to you a lot, doc...”
Starline recalled Hex’s heightened attentiveness around him; following him around like a little shadow, jotting down notes and absorbing anything and everything he had to teach him with earnest regard… It made him smile and hum.
“Yes, well, I must admit that he’s been a rather excellent student. Always so eager and willing to listen and learn.”
Lug let out quiet, amused snort of agreement. “Yeah, that sounds like Hex all right...”
He then winced and grew more serious. “Look— doc, I’m just gonna come right out and say it: Whether I like it or not, Hex really looks up to you. And I sure as heck can’t teach him all that techno mumbo jumbo stuff that you can. You’re like… a hero to him, so just.. do me a favor and try not to hurt him, would you? I know you’re a fancy shmancy scientist with a PHD in… physics or something—“
“Robotics and biology—“ Starline couldn’t help but correct him.
“—but I’d hate to see him get hurt just cuz he can’t live up to your expectations.” The bulldog frowned. “What you say and think means the world to him. Especially.. since you’re the first person besides me to actually see his worth.”
Starline blinked, feeling his smile fade a bit.
That’s true. Hex had mentioned before that both his parents and his teachers thought he was delusional. That his dreams were impossible and unattainable, and ‘he was too young to make a difference’. That ‘no academy would ever take him because he ‘was living in a fairytale’.
It had infuriated Starline when he first heard about it, especially since Hex was practically oozing with potential. He was merely just a rock that needed to be cut and polished in order to become a shining gem.
It was part of the reason he had decided to take him under his wing. Why he hadn’t tossed them to the side after the first week of the competition.
But.. even so.. Starline felt his chest twist in discomfort as he remembered his plan to betray them at the end of the competition. To claim the stage and announce his undying loyalty and allegiance to Eggman.
By going through with it, he would be doing exactly what Lug was asking him not to.
“He looks up to you. Try not to hurt him, would you?”
Lug seemed to notice Starline’s long pause and tilted his head. “Uh, hello? Doc? Did you hear me?“
Starline came back to reality and exhaled a breath through his nose as he nodded. “…I did, Lug. And while I understand your concern, there is no need for it. Hex is more than capable of anything I set him up to do. However, I will… do my best to try and keep your request in mind.”
Lug sighed, and his shoulders dropped in relief. “Thanks.”
…He then squinted as his one functioning braincell tried to figure out if that was the response he wanted or not. “…I think.”
Starline decided not to clarify, but gave him a small smile as he turned on his heel to leave. "…Good night, Lug."
"Right. Night.” Lug withdrew back into the room, and the door closed shut again.
Alone once more, Starline observed the back of the door for a moment longer before he let his smile fully fall and headed off in the direction of his own room.
His footsteps were unusually loud against the floor, sounding like the steady clack of a ticking clock, counting down the seconds to the completion’s end.
His hero.. Hex really regarded him the same way a young Starline had once regarded Eggman, huh…?
His words had merely been said to placate Lug, but the bulldog’s genuine insistence almost made Starline feel like he had a small bit of responsibility to hold true to those words…
The platypus start as soon as he realized that, and he quickly shook his head and hastened his steps to push the thoughts away.
Gaia… was he out of his mind? There was no way in the universe he could even think of giving up on his plan now! Not when he was well on his way on the road to victory!
But… Even so…
He supposed it couldn’t… hurt to look for alternative solutions.
#sonic ocs#sonic idw#lug the dog#dr starline#hex the rat#this event definitely sits with Starline and contributes to his decisions later on#this is where he really starts to realize his attatchment to the group#he almost finds it ironic how he has a little protege#It’s at this point a bit of guilt start to bug him#starline the platypus#character interactions#ficlet#starpoint squad#Starpoint Squad AU#fanfic#Drabble#writing#the writings not perfect but it gets the general idea across#Sonic#sth

hi hello! do you write for kieran tierney? if you don’t feel free to ignore this. but if you do can i please request a one shot where they’re talking about the fact that kieran’s moving to celtic at the end of the season and if they’re at a place in their relationship where the reader would move with him and it’s all angsty? hurt/comfort maybe? have a great day!
❦ - moving on.



summary:: moving on is hard, especially when you’re expected to pick everything up and move. not everything goes to plan and life is the best example of that.
warnings:: i don’t think so…
writers notes:: never did i expect to be writing for him but ykw heck yeah 😍. anyways i love writing angst it’s my element i fear, others may disagree but i love it sm
tags:: @barcapix @n0vazsq @httpsdana @paucubarsisimp
the apartment felt quieter than usual. the soft hum of the city outside and the distant buzz of your phone were the only sounds that kept you grounded as you stared out of the window. it had been a long day, and all you wanted was some peace. but that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon.
kieran’s voice broke through the silence, though it was quieter than usual, almost uncertain. ‘i think i’m really going to go for it. celtic. end of the season.’
the words hung in the air, thick with unspoken tension.
you didn’t turn to face him immediately, afraid that if you did, you’d betray the way your stomach had twisted in response. you felt the air grow heavy with the weight of his decision. he hadn’t exactly asked you what you thought, but you didn’t need him to. you both knew what this meant.
celtic was his home. he’d always spoken of them fondly, of the pride in representing the club that had raised him, that had seen him grow into the man he was today. and now, after everything, after all the time apart, after the struggles, the ups and downs, it was finally happening.
the move.
your heart ached at the thought.
you swallowed hard, trying to steady your voice. ‘it’s... it’s a good opportunity, kieran. for you.’
it sounded almost dismissive, even to your own ears, but you couldn’t make yourself say anything else. because the truth was, a part of you was afraid. afraid that this was the moment that everything would change. that maybe you weren’t ready to let go of what you had here. or that, perhaps, you weren’t ready to follow him into this new chapter of his life.
kieran didn’t respond right away, and you finally turned to face him. he was sitting at the kitchen counter, his eyes fixed on his phone. his shoulders were tense, but his face, his face was the same as always. the face that had smiled at you in countless photos, that had comforted you when things felt rough, that had been the one constant in your life for so long.
but now, it was a mask. a mask you weren’t sure you could break through.
‘you don’t seem happy,’ he said softly, his eyes lifting to meet yours.
you took a shaky breath, the lump in your throat growing with every second. ‘of course i’m happy for you. it’s celtic. it’s everything you’ve worked for. but... but what about us?’
the words spilled out of you before you could stop them. you didn’t want to be selfish, but you couldn’t help it. his dream was becoming a reality, and you... you didn’t know where you fit into that anymore.
‘what about us, kieran?’ you repeated, your voice trembling. ‘are we at a place where... where i should follow you? can we keep doing this long-distance thing? or is this the end?’
the question hung between you, thick with all the unsaid words that had built up over the past few months. you’d both been busy, so busy, between his commitments, your own, that the time together had become sparse. and with this looming decision, with the inevitability of his move to celtic, you couldn’t ignore it anymore.
kieran was silent, his gaze falling away from yours. ‘i didn’t want to put that pressure on you,’ he said quietly. ‘i don’t want to make you feel like you have to come with me.’
‘but i’m not sure i’m ready to leave everything behind,’ you confessed, your voice cracking. ‘i’ve built my life here, kieran. my job. my friends. i can’t just pick everything up and go.’
his eyes softened, and he stood up from the counter, walking over to you slowly, carefully. when he reached you, he cupped your face in his hands, his thumbs brushing away the few stray tears that had fallen.
‘i didn’t mean to make you feel that way,’ he murmured. ‘i’m not asking you to leave everything behind for me. but you’re part of my future. that’s not something i can just... walk away from.’
you blinked up at him, trying to process the gravity of his words. you wanted to believe him. you wanted to believe that you could make it work, that love could conquer distance, could conquer time.
but it wasn’t that easy. not when you were being pulled in different directions, your own future uncertain.
‘and what if this doesn’t work out, kieran?’ you asked, your voice barely above a whisper. ‘what if you go to celtic, and things change? what if we change?’
he closed his eyes for a moment, as if the weight of your question was too much to bear. then, with a slow breath, he replied, ‘i don’t have the answers. i don’t know what the future holds. all i know is that i want you in it. i want us in it. but i can’t ask you to follow me if you’re not ready.’
the silence that followed was deafening. you wanted to reach out to him, to hold him, to reassure him that you didn’t want to lose him. but you also needed to be sure of yourself. you needed to know that you were making the right choice, for both of you.
‘kieran...’ you started, but the words caught in your throat.
he kissed your forehead gently, and you melted into him, allowing yourself the brief comfort of his touch. ‘whatever you decide, i’m not going anywhere,’ he whispered. ‘but i’m here for the long haul, and i need you to know that.’
you closed your eyes, allowing yourself to feel the warmth of his words, even if they didn’t fully ease the uncertainty in your heart. for a moment, you allowed yourself to lean into him, to breathe in the scent of him, to just be with him. you weren’t ready to make a decision, but you didn’t want to let go of what you had, either.
the future was uncertain, but in this moment, you had each other. and maybe that was enough to keep you going.
for now.

Also just to talk about reads in House MD specifically, jumping off this post of mine
TLDR, multiple perspectives is one of my favorite things.
Bi!Wilson is a great hc. The man so hopelessly in love with his boy best friend but so entrenched in comphet or socially isolated he never realizes he’s emotionally unavailable for all the women he dates? And then he manages to find Amber and he actually likes her and is into her?? But House loves him so much he’s willing to risk his life for Wilson’s happiness??? *incoherent white noise*
Gay!Wilson is near and dear to my heart, because media—fandom included—doesn’t engage with comphet enough. It’s always “so and so must have been bi, because they had a genuine connection with someone Not Within Their Sexuality.” I don’t know how to effectively explain it, but mistaking a platonic bond for something romantic-sexual is so common with comphet. And we need more representation of it so people can start to more easily understand and recognize it. And for Wilson, it ties into *wild* themes about social expectations and struggling to understand yourself which also make my brain go *white noise* (If that’s not your cup of tea / doesn’t ring true to you, I get it. I’d read your fic! I just think it’s such an incredibly valuable one to have in the mix.)
And that’s all to say nothing of the complexities that start to spring up with gender hc’s!
Plus, PPTH polycule? Also a delightful read. The deliberate comparisons between House’s relationship with Wilson vs. Cuddy being pulled out to create a read with an OT3? Heck yeah!!
The one sexuality read for Wilson that I don’t really see in terms of media analysis is het!Wilson. Yes, you can make the argument that he and House are platonic soulmates. That doesn’t account for all the romantic (longing glances, narrative framing that compares Hilson to a romantic relationship, the joke flirting) and sexual (the straw, the cigars, sharing underwear, joking about thinking about each other during sex) overtones that permeate the entire show. But even still I’d be down to hear why that read means something to someone. I bet it does!
And that’s just for one tiny area. I never would’ve realized, for example, all the religious imagery around Chase and BOY is there A Lot!!
What other people bring, or multifaceted takes, on the same original work is one of my favorite things in the whole world.

My Review of 92sies
Gotta remember this was made in the 90s by the classic Disney intro! 😄
Thank you Max for the great intro monologue! ‘Thank you Max, for that marvelous introduction!’ Hocus Pocus, anyone?
Gotta appreciate how much they were able to make a crammed set look like New York
Oh. My. God! Shirtless Mush is sooo cute! 😍
No wonder Skittery’s always angry- I’d be too if I was woken up early. 😤
Not even 5 minutes in and Jack’s called Cowboy 🤠
Where was Kloppman in Livesies? Really, where?
I wanna know how all the newsies characters were created. Was someone reading A Christmas Carol and was like ‘yes, we need teenage Tiny Tim!’
I noticed they have the same audio of the kid yelling ‘c’mon move it! move it!’ later at the end.
Why did they cut out the ‘takes a smile as sweet as butter?’ bit?
Aw Race does the sign of the cross! Is he Catholic?
At first I was confused about the woman singing in the background but over time I feel that she brings the idea that not all the newsies are orphans
Sorry but Race backing up from being threatened by a stick is hilarious
Jack is so much calmer in this version! No more angry Jack
Awww! Les is so cuuute! The way he just stares at Jack while he’s running is priceless 😊
Race and Jack show more friendship chemistry in the first 10 minutes than Jack and Race in Livies during the whole show
Already 92sies Les is so much better
It’s really hard to not picture Jack as Batman
Half the movie is watching all-a the newsies reactions in the background!
Headlines don’t sell papes, newsies sell papes- the entire plot summed up in one sentence. 🗞️
Properly shows how the newsies respect a lady by them removing their hats
‘What’s that deafening noise?’ Uh, that’s your employees doing their job?
I feel sorry for the guy shaving that Snider just shoves to the side when he runs up the stairs.
LUV Medda’s getup! All of it! Anne-Margret is so good! The way she talks to Les is so cute!
I have spotted the teleporting ventriloquist dummy guy!
I personally don’t ship Javid, but 92sies shows much better chemistry between Jack and David than Livesies.
‘Then you’ll be a real cowboy!’ ‘Yeah.’ What about a painter? Now where would you ever get that idea? 🤠🧑🎨
So it’s raining while they’re having dinner, then it stopped when they're on the fire escape, and the ground is dusty enough so when Jack does his Santa Fe ‘dance’ he doesn’t get all muddy? Huh.
Only thing about Sarah is that I feel her New York accent could’ve been better.
I wanna know who made the birthday cake. One of the cast or crew maybe?
I prefer Christian’s daydreamy version of Santa Fe. 🏜️
I’d like know what the people in the street are thinking, like ‘what the heck is this guy randomly singing?’
The streetlights make 92sies at night seem like a very cozy atmosphere
Why did they cut out the scene of Christian using a lasso? Learning how to use a lasso was a big deal for him!
What ever happened to the horse Jack technically stole?
Race and Jack’s friendship never gets old!
Pulitzer’s calculation behavior is… weird. Also why is he imitating Tevye’s If I Were A Rich Man dance?
Ok, we need a class where every newsie is pointed out and named so everyone knows who they are
What are the pedestrians thinking when the newsies start singing?
You’re a leader! Here Jack, have a stick! Now break it!
‘Em-bastards!’
Hey it’s Lone Star in a bowler hat!
Now I want to use ‘hoity toity’ every day.
Yeessss! BROOKLYN! But where can I find the music if it’s not in the soundtrack?! 🌉
‘I spent a month there one night.’ Uh what does that mean, Boots?
Why is Spot Colon’s slingshot never brought up in Livesies?
Ok when I first watched this I didn’t know what to expect from Spot Colon but I remember that as soon as I saw him I had a crush on him instantly. 🥰
People always make fun of Spot’s height, whether it be 92sies or Livesies. But being a short person myself and knowing other short people I can honestly say that short people definitely can be scary! Seriously I’ve scared more people than I can count even if I don’t mean to, so imagine Spot Colon intentionally trying to be scary! To quote Yoda: ‘size matters not!’ Spot Colon could kick everyone’s ass if he wanted!
I luv how all the other Brooklyn newsies are just waiting intimidatingly in the background for Spot to either give the all clear or the o-k to soak Davey.
How did numerous fan theories about Spot’s key get started? 🗝️
Seize the Day is on fire! I luv the quick footwork and acro work in the confined space even though the dance number could’ve been held in a bigger area.
Where did the newsies get tomatoes to throw at Wiesel? 🍅
How long did it take to clean up the torn newspapers after they got done filming that scene?
Huh, Jack actually cares enough to try to break Crutchy out? Also how does nobody notice Jack casually standing around with a rope?
It’s cute how Les and the younger newsies made homemade drums!
‘Never fear, Brooklyn is here!’ Oh my God yeessss! 😆
It’s over, Weasel! Brooklyn has the high ground! Star Wars, anybody?
The newsies picture looks like what every attempt at a family picture looks like, with everybody scattered and looking at different places.
King of New York, still my favorite! The way they had all these guys in this tiny room with all these tables, and yet still pull off a decent dance number! Just wow.
Crutchy your positivity is contagious, even though sometimes you gotta learn when to be sad.
Jack how on Earth can you fall asleep on a fire escape?
Nice rooftop backdrop! Wonder if Jack painted it… 🎨🤔😆
Jack still wants to leave, but at least on the rooftop he explains how he’s not used to growing roots anywhere and actually asks Sarah if she cares.
‘...others who would dare to leeee!’ What, Pulitzer?
I luv how the newsies dress up for the rally! Even though they’re poor they still know when to act ‘proper.’ Also Spot, you look great! 👍
Seeing Medda dance with all the is always fun to watch, especially with Blink and Race completely fawning over her.
Why is it that Davey and Spot immediately see that Denton’s pointing out Snyder but it takes Davey yelling in Jack’s face for him to see it?
Typical Race to gamble with a judge 🃏
They really make us hate Snyder. Even if you don’t like Jack (don’t know how someone could but whatever), you really feel bad for him when Snyder takes him back to the Refuge. 😣
How in the world does nobody notice the newsies hiding out around the refuge or when Davey rides on the back of the carriage? There’s cops literally 10 feet from them and they still don’t see a group of kids?
Even when Jack’s yelling he’s still less angry then Jeremy’s angry Jack.
All the Refuge gives you to sleep on is a rusty bed frame? Ouch!
‘We was beat when we was born.’ Yikes Jack got some dark thoughts. 😳
It doesn’t take going through a whole day sulking and getting yelled at by Katherine for 92sies Jack to change his mind, it only takes the Delancys beating up the Jacobs for him to finally say no.
Once And For All is catchier than the Livesies version
I like how they show all the different kids at odds and ends jobs, as well as how some kids back then didn’t know how to read.
Only thing is I wish they would’ve talked about the details with the deal with Pulitzer
Sarah doesn’t need to beg Jack to stay, Jack figures it out that he needs to stay.
Jack, how can you leave? You’re making Les cry! 😖😭
Now Mush is looking cute next to a lamppost 😍
I’m hearing the audio from the beginning!
Yes, Jarah is a relationship I can tolerate! It’s not toxic or annoying, and they don’t look like they wanna kill each other every scene.
Spot riding away in the carriage is perfect! ‘By, Spot!’ 🥰
Overall I’d want to know what the original newsies would think of this. I mean just imagine the ones from 1899 watching this and thinking ‘I don’t think we ever did this much singing and dancing.’
And now to take a moment for the 92sies who did not make it into Livesies: Snipeshooter, Boots, Bumlets, PieEater, Snoddy, Itey, Snitch, Swifty, Jake, Dutchy, Skittery, Snaps, Tumbler, and Flipper. They will be missed. Instead they will be replaced by new newsies that are far more stupid and annoying, but on the bright side are very good dancers. 😔
I feel like 92sies isn’t talked about as much because it’s more dated and not as recent. When people mention that current stars like Ben Cook are in Livesies then everyone talks about it like it’s the best thing since sliced bread. But when people say Christian Bale is in 92sies then they just say ‘oh yeah, he’s Batman’ and just leave it at that. Just because 92sies doesn’t have the A+ Broadway dancing doesn’t mean it’s not a good musical,

Writing request:
How Joseph and Stephen met but based around the new scott pilgrim takes off series
This one definitely had me a little stumped, but thanks to my best friend @kylealtavevo, I was able to figure it out! (creds to them for the idea, thanks pal!) I really hope you like it, sorry if it's not exactly what you expected!

ONESHOT: STEPHEN STILLS X JOSEPH IN SPTO
“This is my friend, Joseph,” Kim announced, entering band practice. “He knows about music, and, uh, he wanted to hang out today, so… Yeah.”
“Hi,” Scott said, waving.
“What’s up?” Stephen greeted.
Stephen and Scott were already in their places, behind their microphones, guitars in hand. Young Neil was on the sofa with Knives. It was her first time at band practice too.
Joseph squeezed onto the sofa with Knives and Young Neil. He waved to them and didn’t say anything. He wasn’t a man of many words.
“We are Sex Bob-Omb! 1, 2, 3, 4!” Kim shouted, catching Joseph off guard.
“Does she always do that?” He asked Neil.
“Yeah, pretty cool, right?” Neil replied. Joseph nodded slowly in return, unsure of his answer. He looked over to Knives, who was watching intently with her eyes wide.
When the song was over, Knives immediately reacted by saying how awesome it was. Neil clapped. Joseph was still trying to soak it in, looking directly at Stephen.
“Um… Band huddle, real quick?” Stephen said to Scott and Kim. The three of them huddled together like a football team. “Who is Joseph?”
“My friend, Hollie’s roommate,” Kim replied. “Why? Do you have a problem with him or something? He doesn’t say much.”
“N-no, no problems! Just… he knows about music?”
“Yeah, he’s got a recording set up in his bedroom,”
Stephen’s eyes lit up. It was now his duty to impress the heck out of Joseph. Maybe he could help them record a Sex Bob-Omb album!
“Hi, I’m Stephen. Nice to meet you,” The huddle disbanded and he sauntered right up to Joseph.
“Joseph,” He replied, shaking Stephen’s hand.
After that, Stephen didn’t see much of Joseph. Scott “died,” and Stephen grew closer to Knives, like siblings. He kept asking Kim to bring him around to band practices again, but it was always something. He was working, or helping a friend move, or on vacation, or something.
Stephen and Knives teamed up to create a musical to win over Matthew Patel, hoping he would give them a record deal in return of him being casted as the main role.
Opening night came, for the musical titled, “Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Musical,” and Stephen spotted Joseph in the same row sitting with Kim and Hollie. His heart skipped a beat and he went pale.
“Everything okay?” Knives asked, noticing his change in demeanor.
“Joseph is here!” He whispered. “I hope I can impress him… He knows about music! Maybe he can collaborate with us and Matthew!”
“Oh, yeah! He has a music studio in his house! I mean, Matthew owns G-Man, so he’s got, like, a real studio, but… yeah! Cool!” Knives smiled.
The musical started, and Stephen kept glancing over at Joseph to see if he could read his expressions. Honestly, Joseph was expressionless the whole time. Stephen couldn’t tell if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
When the show ended, Knives and Stephen went out to the lobby, hoping to see Joseph and talk to him.
“Do you like… Have a thing for him or something?” Knives asked. Stephen had recently come to the conclusion that he was gay, but Knives was really the only person he told.
“I-I… I don’t know! Maybe?” He replied. “Feelings are confusing.”
Soon enough, Joseph approached them, along with Hollie and Kim.
“Great show, guys,” Kim said.
“What did you think, Joseph?” Stephen asked immediately.
“Musicals aren’t really my thing, but… Not bad,” He replied, nodding his head.
“Well, uh, we were about to head out for celebratory pizza, wanna join us?”
“Um, what are we? Chopped liver?” Hollie raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah, you guys too!” Knives cut in.
“I don’t mind some pizza,” Joseph replied. He, along with Hollie and Kim, walked ahead of Knives and Stephen.
“You totally have a thing for him!” Knives teased Stephen.
