#but you know. they make me sooo emotional i LOVEEE them

[mxdotpng]

for being a monster of the week type manga nightow does a really good job at making each and every episode relevant. i think having zed's introduction, the lunch chapter, zapp & zed's short chapter, and then zed's backstory chapter lead up to each other slowly despite being in separate seasons and separated by other plotlines was a really great way to build up zapp, leo, and zed's relationship. you can very clearly see their transition from (begrudging) coworkers to friends. in back 2 back, zed's backstory chapter to the finale where he defended leo's choice in front of the other libra members felt so significant, because leo had done something similar before hand, and at the cost of his own health. then, the many instances of steven having his own scenes, often alone, cemented the idea of him being entirely okay with dubious or morally grey actions "for the sake of peace", often at his own hypocrisy when trusting klaus' methods, which again came up in the back 2 back finale. i think i could just keep going and going but you get my point. and i love them.

hiiiiii!!! could you do acheron with sfw or nsfw (or both if u want to) headcanons, thank you!! ^^

⟡ . DATING ACHERON HEADCANONS

summary: acheron x fem!reader and how it's like to date her!

cw: includes smut hcs, fingering, cunnilingus, squirting, acheron calls reader a "good girl", nipple sucking, edging

a/n: i loveee acheron so much, being in her arms would make me feel so safe... shes so safe to be with its making her more handsome and sexy 😓😓 n so sorry if this was so short, i hope i satisfied u enough anon!

SFW

✦ acheron is a person that you feel really safe around, and someone you could be yourself with. she may not know how to express her emotions properly sometimes, but she shows how deeply inlove she is with you by actions/physical affection because she believes actions speak more than words.

✦ i think acheron is another one of those people that has a cold body so she would love to envelope herself on you to feel your warmth. you're like her personal heater. she also uses it as an excuse or opportunity to hug and cuddle with you.

✦ she would try her best to support you in everything, because your happiness is her top priority. she'll be there to help you when you need it, like going through a tough time because of personal problems. she'll comfort you when you're at your worst and would give you a hug if you need it.

✦ she'll also tease you sometimes. she may look really cold from afar, but she surprisingly has a great sense of humor. if you're shorter than her, she would call you a cute midget. her cute midget, basically.

NSFW

✦ switches from rough dom to soft dom from time to time... but she's more soft dom than rough dom. every time you have sex with her she makes you realize that the next morning your legs will be jelly no matter which dom she feels like being tonight.

✦ shes sooo good with her fingers... they're very nimble and knows just where your sweet spots are. she knows how good she makes you feel and just loves seeing that fucked out face you're wearing while she plunges her fingers in and out of you.

✦ while she fingers you, you could also suck on her nipples while shes at it. i mean, even acheron wants to feel good. just swirl your tongue around her nipples, latch your lips onto it, suck them like its your last dinner and even bite it slightly. you'll hear her whimpering and her fingers that were plunging your insides a moment ago falters a little.

✦ shes so good at eating you out as well... her tongue is always hitting your g spot which never fails to make you squirt. sometimes she can be a big meanie and slows down the pace of her tongue when she notices your walls are starting to pulse faster and your moans are getting louder, which is a clear sign that you're about to orgasm. you can never blame her though, she looks sexy teasing you.

Game, Set, Match (Part 3) - B.T.S

It had been weeks since you’d seen Ben.

With the WTA and ATP tours in full swing, your schedules pulled you in opposite directions, placing you both in different cities and on different courts. Your phones had been lifelines, but they only gave you fleeting sporadic late-night texts, quick phone calls, and longing video chats to keep you in contact.

But now, the separation was over, and the moment you stepped off the plane, a familiar rush of excitement bubbled up inside you, your heart raced, already knowing Ben was somewhere waiting for you.

You pushed through the terminal tunnel-visioned and suddenly, you saw him. Even in a crowded airport, Ben stood out. Tall, with his unmistakable athletic build, the brim of his hat tilted low, his lips were bitten as he scanned the crowd, his eyes locked on you the second he saw you. The world around you blurred, and Ben made his way toward you with long, determined strides.

Before you could even fully register the relief washing over you, his arms were around you, pulling you into his chest. His familiar scent filled your senses, instantly grounding you. Your arms were thrown over his neck, your face tucked into his neck as you held him tight, wondering how you had managed to last this long without his comforting touch.

“I missed you so damn much, Y/N,” he murmured into your hair, his voice thick with emotion. One hand ran through your hair, the other smoothing your back.

You sighed into him, your hands rubbing his back, curling into the fabric of his shirt as you pressed yourself closer. “I missed you so much more”.

Ben didn’t waste any time. He tilted your chin up, capturing your lips in a kiss that was both soft and intense like he was making up for every missed kiss over the last few weeks. His hand slid up your sides, slipping under your hoodie to rest against your bare skin. His touch sent a wave of warmth through you, and you shivered slightly from how badly you had missed the feel of him.

“You have no idea how hard it’s been without you,” he breathed against your lips, his thumb stroking along the small of your back as he kissed the corner of your mouth and then down the line of your jaw.

You smiled, but your voice came out softer than you intended, already melting against him. “I think I have an idea. I was struggling too.” Your eyes fluttered open and shut with each kiss he planted, your gaze roaming over his face, boring into the kindness in his sweet eyes. You reached up to peck his cheek in slow, lasting kisses.

Ben pulled back chuckling, just enough to look at you, his thumb coming up to brush over your cheek as he drank you in, like he needed to commit every detail of your face to memory. “I’m not letting you out of my sight now. I need you close, with me, all the time,” he whispered, his eyes big and soft with affection. “Not for a second.”

His intensity sent a wave of warmth through your chest, but you still managed a smirk, raising an eyebrow. He looked like a little kid, never wanting to let you go. “Not even for a second, huh? Okay, big guy.”

Ben grinned, his hand slipping back under your hoodie, fingers tracing patterns on your skin as he pulled you in for another kiss, one that promised more than just a reunion.

“We still need to get to the hotel,” you laughed breathlessly, playfully hitting his chest.

“Hotel’s first,” he said with a mischievous grin, dipping his head to brush his lips over your ear. “But after that…” He nipped lightly at your earlobe, sending shivers down your spine. His hands crept higher under your hoodie, grazing the edge of your sports bra. “I’ve got some plans for us once you settle in.”

You laughed, squealing, swatting at him playfully. “Benjamin Shelton! Get your mind out of the gutter.”

“I don’t think I can,” he murmured with a smirk, his lips barely brushing yours as he leaned in. “Not when you’re finally here.”

With a roll of your eyes, you pushed him away, heat rising in your cheeks. As you wheeled your bag toward the exit, Ben caught up, a boyish, gummy smile tugging at his lips as he stole the handle from your hands. His arm slipped around your waist, resting a little lower on your hip, a teasing glint in his eyes that promised he wasn’t quite done yet.

In the taxi, Ben’s clingy neediness only seemed to intensify, and you felt it in the way his hands couldn’t stay still. He pulled you closer, nearly into his lap, making it nearly impossible to sit normally in the seat.

His hands traced delicate patterns on your back, on your sides. His lips hovered near your ear, occasionally brushing against your cheek or neck, you could feel the smirk tugging at his lips, sending tiny shivers down your spine. Every kiss, every touch, felt like a quiet declaration, he missed you, he needed you.

“You seriously have no idea how much I’ve missed you, like, really bad. Like, losing my mind, bad,” Ben whispered, his voice thick with a mix of affection and urgency. His thumb brushed along your ribcage, slow and deliberate, like he was memorising the feel of you all over again.

You couldn’t help but smile, leaning back against him, feeling the warmth of his chest against your back. “Ben, darling, I’m getting an idea, with how handsy you’re being,” you teased, giggling as you glanced up at him. “You’re being so clingy, baby.”

Ben chuckled, not the least bit embarrassed. “Can you blame me?” he murmured, pressing a kiss just below your ear. “I haven’t had you in my arms for weeks. I’ve been dying just to touch you for weeks. My beautiful, gorgeous girl, the woman that I love so much…now all mine in my hands again…”

His voice trailed off while he planted kisses as your breath hitched slightly at his praise, offering him a soft hum as his hands continued their slow exploration, fingertips skimming beneath the hem of your hoodie, teasing the edge of your waistband, roaming back up to toy with your sports bra. “Weeks, huh? You're acting like it’s been years.”

“Might as well have been,” he muttered against your neck, brushing your hair to one side gently, nipping playfully at your skin. “I don’t think I’ve gone this long without touching you since we started dating. I’ve been so desperate to just touch you.”

You giggled softly, your head tilting to the side to give him better access, your fingers resting against his arm. “Maybe I book more WTA tours away if this is the welcome I get.”

Ben’s grip on your waist tightened slightly, and he pulled you even closer, his voice dropping to a low murmur. “Don’t even joke about that.” His lips brushed against your collarbone, his breath hot and deliberate. “You have no idea what you do to me when you’re gone, baby. I’m not letting you go far from me for a long time.”

His words sent a shiver down your spine, ownership laced in his words. You turned your head slightly to meet his gaze, your fingers running along the edge of his jaw. You could feel Ben slowly start to get more desperate, his playful feathering kisses turning into something more permanent, sucking and biting softly as if to leave small, subtle marks on your skin.

“Oof, someone's possessive. Guess I’m stuck having to deal with you being all over me then,” you teased, though your voice came out softer, more breathless.

Ben grinned, his eyes deep with affection as he kissed you again, plunging this time, one hand slipping further up your back, underneath your hoodie. “You’re not exactly pushing me away, Y/N.”

You rolled your eyes playfully, though you leaned into his touch, a soft sigh escaping your lips. “I couldn’t even if I wanted to,” you murmured, your fingers brushing through his hair. “You’re too tempting.”

The taxi jolted slightly as it hit a bump, and you let out a quiet giggle breaking out of your bubble and swatting at his chest lightly, clearing your throat as you sat up. “Ben, the driver’s right there.”

Ben glanced over at the driver, who was politely staring ahead, before shrugging. “Doesn’t bother me.”

You let out a laugh, pushing lightly at his chest again. “Behave,” you said, though there was no real force behind the command. You were enjoying the attention far too much.

Ben hummed softly, his lips still brushing against your skin, hands roaming even more dangerously as he cupped your breasts under your hoodie. “Can’t help it. You’re here, and I’ve been deprived for too long.”

The playful banter continued all the way to the hotel, his hands wandering and gripping and his lips stealing kisses at every opportunity. By the time you arrived, the air between you was thick with the tension of weeks spent apart, and you could barely wait to get to your room. Ben grabbed your suitcase with one hand, the other arm firmly around your waist, guiding you through the hotel lobby with an almost single-minded focus.

As soon as you were in the elevator, the doors barely closed before Ben had you pressed against the wall, his lips crashing into yours, hands gripping your waist as if he couldn’t bear even an inch of distance between you. Your hands pressed against the wall to soften the sudden push, before snaking up to the nape of his neck.

“Ben,” you breathed between kisses, your fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt. “We’re almost there, hold on, babe..!”

“I know,” he whispered, his lips trailing down your neck, his hands sliding lower. “But I can’t wait, baby.”

By the time you reached the room, you were both breathless, your bodies pressed tightly together as you stumbled inside. Ben closed the door behind you, immediately pulling you into his arms again, his hands slipping beneath your hoodie, lifting it slightly as his lips found yours in a kiss that was slow and needy.

You smiled against his lips, finally breaking the kiss to pull back just enough to catch your breath. “You’re insatiable..!” you teased, gasping, though your own hands were wandering, tracing the familiar lines of his strong chest and shoulders.

Ben grinned, his hands slipping down to your hips, pulling you closer. “Only when it comes to my girl.”

You let out a soft laugh, resting your forehead against his as you wrapped your arms around his neck. “You’re sweet.”

His lips brushed against yours again, but this time the kiss was gentler, more tender. He cupped your face in his hands, his thumbs stroking your cheeks as he pulled you even closer. “I love you so much,” he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.

Your heart swelled at the words, and you kissed him softly, letting the moment linger. “I love you too, Ben.”

For a few moments, you just stood there, wrapped up in each other, the rest of the world falling away. It was about the quiet comfort of being together again, of knowing that even after weeks apart, nothing between you had changed.

Finally, Ben broke the silence, his voice soft but playful. “So, what’s the plan for tomorrow?”

You pulled back slightly to look at him, your fingers brushing through his hair as you smiled. “I was actually going to ask you that. You’ve been here longer than me, did you manage to set up a practice match?”

He smirked, his hands slipping down to your waist again. “I did. We’re playing against Matteo and Ajla.”

Your eyes lit up with excitement, and you raised an eyebrow. “As in Berrettini? Matteo Berrenttini? That’s quite the practice match.”

Ben’s grip on your waist tightened slightly, and you could see the playful glint in his eyes. “Yeah? You sound a little too excited about that.”

You bit your lip, trying to suppress a smile as you leaned in closer, your voice dropping to a teasing whisper. “Well, have you seen him?”

Ben’s eyes squinted, his hands slipping lower as he pulled you flush against him. “Oh, so that’s how it is?”

You couldn’t help but laugh, resting your hands on his chest, teasing him. “I’m just saying... he’s a little distracting.”

Ben raised an eyebrow, his voice low and teasing. “Maybe I should give you something to distract you from him.”

You grinned, your fingers tracing the line of his jaw. “I think my boyfriend is distraction enough,” you murmured, your lips brushing his in a soft, lingering kiss. “But if you want to make sure I’m focused...”

Ben smirked playfully, his lips capturing yours again, and you let out a soft laugh as he lifted you off the ground, his arms wrapped tightly around you as he lifted your legs around his waist. “I think I can manage that.”

As you pulled back, breathless and grinning, you whispered softly, “You know I’m teasing. I love you, Ben. Everything feels right with you.”

Ben’s expression softened, his hands gently stroking your sides. “I love you too,” he whispered, his voice full of affection. “More than you know. Feels like home with you in my arms.”

You planted a few soft kisses on his face before leaning into his ear, murmuring, "I still think you owe me a distraction though, Ben."

He chuckled, kissing your cheek. "That'll you get, darlin’ " he mumbled against you, bringing you to the bedroom. That night passed by in a blur of moments of pure, genuine love and care, making up for lost time and emotion.

The next morning, the air was cool and crisp, and the sun bright as you arrived at the court. It was a perfect day for tennis the autumn breeze a welcome break from the summer heat you had both endured on the tour. You could hear the hum of early risers in the distance, but out here, it felt like the world had shrunk to just you, Ben, Matteo, and Ajla.

The warm-up with Matteo Berrettini and Ajla Tomljanović had started off with an easy-going energy, but as the sets progressed, the friendly competition turned more intense. You and Ben moved together fluidly on the court, your bodies instinctively syncing as you read each other's movements, making quick glances, wordless nods, and smooth exchanges.

There were moments of effortless coordination with Ben's power serves and your swift returns combined to win quick points. It was no surprise to anyone watching how well you complemented each other, not just as a couple but as doubles players too. But despite your solid partnership, you noticed a subtle flaw in Ben’s play, something that had escaped both his attention and the growing tension in the practice game.

Between points, you caught the way Ben’s jaw clenched when a shot didn’t go as planned, or when a well-placed return from Matteo caught him off-guard, making him shake his head. It wasn’t that he lacked the skill, Ben was as powerful and talented as they came, but there was a rush in his movement, a drive to end points too quick and fast, a desire to out-muscle rather than out-think his opponent. He was pushing too hard, chasing shots aggressively when he didn’t need to, leaving himself out of position for the next exchange.

“Ben,” you called softly during a break between serves, approaching him with a playful smile, but your eyes scanned him thoughtfully.

He tilted his head, his sweaty curls brushing his forehead, and he flashed that bright grin that always made your heart skip a beat. “Yes, babe?”

You glanced over at Matteo and Ajla who were catching their breath on the other side of the court, then back at Ben. “You’re doing great,” you said, giving him a playful nudge, “but you’re leaving yourself open. You’re trying to end the point too fast, darling.”

His smile faltered slightly, the competitive edge still buzzing in his eyes, but there was a flicker of realisation too. “What do you mean?”

You took a step closer, placing a hand on his arm, letting your fingers gently trace down his forearm as if to soothe his tension and take the edge off of your suggestions. “You don’t have to go for the big finish every time,” you said softly, your voice tinged with affection. “Trust me to set you up.”

Ben blinked at you, clearly processing what you were saying. His eyes roamed over your face, then down to the feeling of your hand on his bicep, his expression softening as he began to understand. “You think I’m overdoing it?”

You smiled, leaning up to press a quick kiss to the corner of his mouth, studying his eyes before you answered. “Hmm, a little teensy bit, yeah. Just play it a bit smarter. You know I’ve always got your back.” Your hand slipped down to pat his chest lightly, fingers lingering on his heart.

Ben let out a slow breath, his pride unshaken but his focus shifting. “Got it,” he muttered, a crooked smile spreading across his face. “Leave the setup to you, huh? My girl’s handling business?”

“Exactly,” you teased, giving him a quick wink. “I know what I’m setting up for my man.”

That last part clearly struck something in Ben, the pride swelling in his chest as you called him your man. His grin widened, a gleam in his eyes now, not from the competition but from the quiet confidence you had in him.

“Damn right, I am,” he said, stepping closer, his voice dropping lower so only you could hear. “Guess I’ll have to show you what your man can really do once I’m in.”

You gave him a soft swat on the arm, giggling. “Save it for the court, Benny. Or maybe later, when we’re off it.”

Ben chuckled but pulled you into a quick, possessive kiss, his lips lingering longer than they probably should have, given that you were still mid-match.

“Later then,” he whispered against your mouth, his hands lingering at your hips before he pulled away with a playful gleam in his eye.

“Hey, lovebirds!” Matteo called from across the court, his thick Italian accent laced with amusement. “You two ready, or should we leave you alone?”

Ajla laughed, shaking her head. “Pretty sure we all know how this match ends if they keep that up.”

You shot a playful glare at them, then turned to Ben with a smirk. “Think they’re jealous?”

Ben gave a quick shrug, flashing that cocky grin that drove you wild. “Who wouldn’t be? I mean, look at my beautiful girl.” He winked at you before jogging back into position, and your heart warmed at the ease and pride in his voice when he said it, his girl.

As the next point started, the flow between you and Ben seemed smoother. You both moved like two parts of a well-oiled machine, he focused on power and strategy, and you on finesse and setting him up for those big finishing shots. You watched him settle, taking more time with his positioning, trusting you to create the opportunities for him. And when that perfect moment came, his power unleashed with precision, and you saw the change in his eyes, a new level of control starting to blossom.

Ajla returned a lob shot, and Ben waited, patient, as you volleyed it back, setting him up. The moment the ball left her racket, Ben struck, sending it down the line in a clean, blistering shot that left both Matteo and Ajla flat-footed.

“Vamos!” Ben shouted, his voice full of triumph, his fist clenched, as the ball bounced out of reach. He turned to you with wide, triumphant eyes, rushing over to scoop you up in his arms before you could even blink.

“That’s my man,” you laughed as he spun you around, both of you laughing and riding the high of the win.

Ben pressed a quick kiss to your lips, still holding you in his arms. “Told you we’d make a good team.”

You could hear Matteo clapping slowly in mock defeat behind you, and Ajla was laughing, shaking her head in amusement. “Alright, alright, we’ll give it to you guys this time.”

You beamed at Ben, his arms still tightly around you, your face inches from his. “Always knew you had it in you.”

Ben grinned, his forehead pressing against yours as his voice dropped low. “Only ‘cause I’ve got you by my side.”

You and Ben had barely finished celebrating your win when Matteo and Ajla sauntered over, shaking their heads in defeat but still smiling.

“That was impressive,” Matteo admitted, clapping Ben on the back.

“Though, if you two keep up with the lovefest on the court, you might distract yourselves one of these days.”

Ben smirked, his hand casually resting on your waist as he pulled you closer. “Nah, we’re just that good. Plus, she keeps me in check.” He winked down at you, and you couldn’t help but roll your eyes at his cheeky confidence.

Ajla gave you a knowing smile. “You guys are impossible. But alright, a deal’s a deal. Lunch on us."

You grinned, side-hugging her over the net. “I’ll hold you to that.”

As the four of you walked off the court, lighthearted banter filling the air, your mind was still on the way Ben had adjusted his play. He’d listened to you, adapted, and it had paid off. There was no denying the satisfaction that came with seeing him execute your advice perfectly. But you also knew that some things would need a little more fine-tuning and practice, and for that, a private session was definitely in order.

Later on, after lunch with Matteo and Ajla, you found yourself back in the hotel room as the sun set, both of you a little tired but still buzzing with energy from the match and the good company. Ben was sprawled out on the bed, scrolling through his phone, while you sat on the edge, absently bouncing a tennis ball against the wall in a rhythmic thud.

“Hey,” you said after a moment, glancing over at him. “How about we hit the courts again? Just the two of us. I think we could use some more time out there.”

Ben lifted his head, one eyebrow raised, a teasing twinkle already forming on his lips. “Oh? Didn’t get enough today?”

You smiled, looking back at him. “You’re getting better, Ben, but there are a few things we should work on. You were doing great out there with Matteo and Ajla, but I think we could sharpen up your positioning a little more.”

Ben set his phone down, sitting up now, fully intrigued. “Oh? You’re offering to coach me?”

You gave him a playful nudge. “Yeah. I know you want to be the best, and I can help you with that.”

His eyes brightened with interest, and he was up in an instant, hauling himself up off the bed with a grin. “Alright, coach. Let’s see what you’ve got.”

The tennis court was empty when the two of you arrived, the evening air cool and crisp under the soft glow and hum of the stadium lights. Ben took his spot across from you, bouncing lightly on his feet, his signature cocky grin in place as he spun his racket in his hand.

You and Ben had the ball bouncing back and forth in a comfortable rhythm. You enjoyed these quiet moments together, where it was less about winning and more about the two of you syncing up, even if it meant some fine-tuning in his technique.

“Alright, coach,” Ben said with a grin, settling into a more relaxed stance. His playful tone was the same as ever, but there was something softer in his gaze tonight, he was taking you seriously, eager to work, eager to show off for you. “How are we doing this? What’s the game plan to make me even better?”

You leaned back on your heels, arms crossed as you eyed him. “Footwork first. You keep rushing when you don’t need to. Relax into it, be patient, trust yourself and you’ll find your rhythm.”

Ben nodded, his eyes locked on yours as he mimicked your movements. His focus was intense, but this time it was different from how he worked with his dad. Ben had always been a little impatient with Bryan, more concerned with power and quick sets.

But tonight?

Tonight, he was all yours, giving you his full attention, which stirred something more than pride inside of you. As you demonstrated, he followed suit, his footwork and his motion becoming more controlled with each drill. Every time your hand grazed his arm or adjusted his posture, Ben listened obediently, applying your feedback without his usual back-and-forth banter. That focus on your words, the sincere look in his eyes as he perked up to listen, sent sparks through you.

“Better,” you said after a solid rally, a proud smile creeping onto your face. “Now that’s what I’m talking about.”

Ben wiped his brow, a hint of pride in his expression. “Guess you’re a pretty good coach, huh?”

You grinned, shaking your head as you walked past him. “I’ve always been good at keeping you in line.”

The game continued, the ball bouncing between you both, the steady rhythm soothing and familiar. You pushed Ben to focus on positioning, drilling him on staying grounded before committing to a shot.

And then, after another smooth exchange where he hit every cue perfectly, the words slipped out without warning.

“There you go! Good boy.”

It hung in the air for a second, and you froze with a shocked expression on your face, realising what you’d just said. Your cheeks burned up instantly as you glanced at Ben. He had paused too, his face lighting up mischievously with a look that told you he was absolutely not going to let this go.

“Good boy?” he repeated, his voice low and teasing. “Is that how we’re doin’ things now?”

You rolled your eyes, pointing your racket at him trying to remain serious, already feeling your face grow warmer. “Benny, don’t start.”

But Ben wasn’t backing down. He sauntered toward you, his grin spreading wider as he closed the distance between you. “Oh, I’m definitely starting. Honestly? I think I like it when you call me that.”

Your heart quickened as he moved closer, his presence as effortless and warm as it was overwhelming. Ben had always been cheeky, but this? This was something else, and the worst part was you liked it. You liked how easily he fell into his role, how willingly he listened, and how obedient he was when it was you guiding him.

“Ben,” you warned, trying to play it cool even though the heat rising in you was impossible to ignore. “We’re still practising.”

“Oh, I know,” he smiled, his voice dropping an octave, making your pulse race. “But you have to admit, I’ve been followin’ your instructions pretty well. Don’t you think?”

Your breath hitched slightly as he moved even closer, his body nearly pressing against yours, the net being your safe haven keeping your space, his eyes glinting with that familiar, playful intensity. “Maybe I should keep bein’ a good boy, hmm?”

It was that line, delivered with a perfectly raised brow, that sent a surge of heat right through you. You hadn’t meant to say it, it just slipped out, a reaction to how well he was following your guidance, but now you couldn’t take it back. And now Ben was fully leaning into the moment, clearly enjoying how flustered he was making you.

You tried to recover, taking a small step back to regain some distance.

“You’re… getting there,” you cleared your throat, attempting to steer things back to tennis, though the words came out shakier than you intended.

Ben wasn’t having it, though. “Getting there? Come on, coach, I thought I was doing great.” He reached out, his hand brushing lightly against your waist, pulling you back just a little closer. You couldn’t help but suck in a breath, your body betraying the calm front you were trying to keep.

“Am I being good now?” he asked, his voice low, filled with amusement but also something heavier, something deeper. His teasing had shifted slightly, still playful but now layered with affection, and it made your head spin.

You swallowed hard, struggling to keep your composure. “Ben, you-”

“I’m listening,” he cut in smoothly, his lips dangerously close to your ear now, his voice lilting in his drawled-out voice, oozing off his tongue like molasses. “Just like you wanted. Don’t I deserve a lil more praise, hm?”

Your stomach flipped, and you couldn’t help the rush of heat, the buzzing feeling that flooded through you. He was teasing, sure, but he was also right. He had been listening, and the way he responded to your guidance, so open, so eager to improve for you, was doing things to your heart you hadn’t anticipated.

“Okay,” you said quietly, trying to hide the tremor in your voice. “You’re doing real good, Ben.”

Ben smirked, pulling back just enough to catch your eye, and the way he looked at you, both playful and sincere, made you feel completely undone. He raised an eyebrow as he caught your eyes with his, holding your gaze, expecting a bit more.

“You're a good boy,” you added softly, almost as if you were under a spell.

His grin widened, and in that moment, it was clear that you had lost this round. Ben had flipped the dynamic entirely, and though you were supposed to be the one in charge, he was now calling the shots, and it was thrilling.

And in the comfortable quiet of the evening court, with the world fading around you, Ben leaned in and kissed you softly. It wasn’t rushed or heated, just a simple connection, an acknowledgement of the easy rhythm you’d both fallen into.

When he finally pulled back, his eyes sparkled with that same teasing glint.

"Thought you were in charge here, darlin'," he mumbled softly, his twang teasing as he stepped closer, his dark brown eyes gleaming in the dim light of the court. There was something about the way he said it, that lazy confidence mixed with an undercurrent of playfulness, that sent heat straight through you.

You bit your lip, fighting back the urge to give him a sharp retort. But the way he was looking at you, all calm and patient like he had all the time in the world to enjoy how flustered you were, made your pulse quicken, made you squirm under him. The man knew exactly what he was doing.

And then, without another word, Ben leaned in and placed his hand to rest gently at the back of your neck, his fingers slipping through your hair, and you couldn’t help but melt into his touch as you both stared into each other's eyes.

His thumb brushed over your cheek, his lips just barely curving up into a cheeky smile. “Still wanna keep goin', or you ready to call it?”

Your breath hitched, but you managed to keep your cool, meeting his gaze with a sly smile. “You’re getting cocky, Benny."

His grin widened, and his voice dropped, nice and smooth. "Can't help it when you’re lookin’ at me like that."

You rolled your eyes, playfully shoving him, though the warmth in your cheeks betrayed you. “Fine, we’ll call it. But don’t think this means I’m going easy on you next time.”

"Guess I'll have to look forward to that, then," he said, his voice lingering just enough to make you smile.

As you both gathered your things and left the court, the night air cool against your heated skin, there was a sense of ease between you. He reached over, lacing his fingers with yours as you walked, and even though the teasing had subsided, the intimacy of the moment lingered.

A few days later, the stakes were higher, the atmosphere much more intense. You and Ben had practised with Ajla and Matteo in the lead-up to this match, but the reality of the Open, the weight of it, the pressure, was different.

As you stood side by side with Ben, gazing out at the packed stadium, the noise of the crowd buzzing in your ears, you could feel the energy crackling around you. This wasn’t just any match, this was what you’d been working toward.

The first set was fast-paced and intense, Matteo’s brutal serves and Ajla’s precision giving you little room to breathe. You and Ben barely kept up though while moving in sync, feeding off each other’s energy as you fought to stay in control.

When the set finally ended, narrowly in your favour, you both collapsed onto the bench, your breaths coming hard and fast. Ben leaned forward, elbows on his knees, staring out at the court with that familiar, intense focus with a gel pack in his mouth you’d seen so many times before.

His brown eyes were dark, locked onto the lines of the court like he was reading every inch of it. He wasn’t the playful, adoring Ben right now. This was the side of him you admired most, the one who studied the game like it was an art form, completely absorbed in every detail, every strategy.

The sharp angles of his face were even more pronounced as he heaved, sweat glistening along his jawline as his gaze stayed locked forward. It was that quiet intensity, the way he seemed to block out everything but the game, that made him so magnetic out here. He was in his element, and it was captivating.

You wiped the sweat from your forehead, still catching your breath as you watched him. He didn’t speak at first, keeping that unwavering focus on the court, his breathing steadying. You knew better than to interrupt when he got like this when that competitive side of him came out, Ben was locked in.

But after a moment, you leaned over, your shoulder brushing his, and gave him a soft nudge. “Hey.”

His eyes flicked to yours, and just like that, the tension melted a little. He smiled, soft and small, and you could see a flicker of the playful Ben you knew so well underneath all that intensity.

“You’re playing smart, Ben. Matteo’s a powerhouse, but you’ve been nailing those returns. Keep pushing him wide, make him work for it.”

He exhaled, nodding as your words sank in. "Yeah, you’re right." His voice low and a bit raspy from the heat of the match.

You smiled, feeling the warmth of his hand brush against yours on the bench. “We’ve got this, okay? Just stay in the rhythm. I’m right here with you.”

He turned to look at you fully, and there it was, that gaze, the one that made your heart race every time. Dark brown eyes locked on yours, filled with trust and something deeper. “I know," he said softly, his voice carrying the weight of the moment. "Ain’t no one else I’d rather be out here with.”

Before you could respond, the whistle blew, signalling the start of the second set. Ben stood first, turning to offer you his hand, and you took it without hesitation. There was a strength in his grip that steadied you, and as you walked back onto the court together, you felt that connection between you grow stronger.

The second set was even tougher and rallies longer, each point feeling like a battle. Matteo’s serves were punishing, and Ajla was relentless, but you and Ben had found your groove. He followed your lead, trusting your instincts, and every return, every volley, felt sharper than before.

And when Ben sent a sharp forehand just past Matteo’s reach to seal the match, the roar of the crowd was deafening.

You spun around, immediately finding Ben, and before you could say a word, he was there, lifting you off your feet in a tight hug, spinning you once before setting you down gently. His eyes, still sparkling with that competitive edge, softened as he looked at you, pride radiating from every inch of him.

“You did it!” you squealed, breathless from both the match and the rush of it all.

“We did it, babe” he replied, his accent thicker now, the exhaustion and adrenaline mixing in his voice. His sweet eyes held yours for a beat longer before he leaned in, pressing a soft, lingering kiss to your lips.

The crowd’s cheers only seemed to fade as you kissed him back, your hands resting against his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart. It wasn’t about the victory, not really. It was about everything that had led up to this. The trust, the hard work, the way you two moved together.

When he finally pulled back, his voice was teasing. “Guess that means you’re the gonna be coaching me after all this, huh?”

You laughed, your heart swelling with affection as you pushed at his chest lightly. “Don’t hold onto that just yet, Benny.”

He grinned, that familiar playful glint back in his eyes as he laced his fingers with yours. “Too late for that.”

As you both walked off the court, hand in hand, the crowd still roaring around you, you knew that whatever came next, whether it was another match or another late-night training session, you’d face it together. And that was the real win.

david, obviously

@angelicaether asked: David for the send me a character ask game ^^

thank you both !! let's talk about our beloved alpha 🫶🏼 ↳ send me a character!

My first impression: REALLY REALLY GOOD. really good. immediately felt on top of the world getting to be a little shithead bc i love to push a tsundere’s buttons. i did get so embarrassed listening to one of them that i had to stop listening for the night LMAO that didn’t have anything to do with david himself but it was related to the jealousy audio

My impression now: a new davey audio is like a one way ticket to sleepy town for me, he is such a comforting presence and his voice is like magic. i love him very much and i don’t know if it’s because he’s courtney’s fave or because i’m a milo girl or what, but he’s like a brother in law to me most of the time. and i have like…. object impermanence with him HAHA like i tend to forget just how much i adore him until he comes back around. i can sit here and be like “teehee he’s my BIL!” but if i were to go listen to a davey audio rn i’d get all melty 😭 he’s like a sleeper agent

A favorite thing: nooobodyyyy does family like david. NOBODY. getting the pack in line when they started bullying milo too much. taking milo to the side after the inversion to make sure he knows that no matter what, he’s still going to be part of the pack. sharing stories of gabe with angel. agreeing to a double wedding with his best friend so they can celebrate being with their unempowered mates in a grand, public display of love. everything he did for darlin. he would move hell itself for anyone in the pack

Least favorite thing: doesn’t like minecraft and his go to smash level is final destination with the smash ball only. where is your WHIMSY!

Favorite line/scene: hmm…. i haven’t listened to davey’s playlist in A While so this is hard. i think i’ve gotta go with the lottery ticket scene in the camping audio 💕 him asking angel to scratch it with him sent me into fuckin orbit with all the emotions i was experiencing. i love when david talks about gabe 🥺 it’s always so sweet

Favorite interaction they have with another: THE DAVID/DARLIN HUG MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME. i was so glad he was there during that run of audios bc god knows darlin needed all the support they could get and the hug was really the icing on the cake. loveee when characters who don’t typically hug or seem the type to hug do finally get a hug 💖

A character that I wish they would interact with more: sweetheart sweetheart sweetheart oh my god please . PLEASE even with the party audios there is not nearly enough inter-pack mingling !!! those two going head to head in the smash tournament was sooo awesome

A headcanon: this kinda goes with my answer above bc i want them to be friends SO BADLY: i love the thought of davey and sweetheart exchanging horror movie recommendations and having in-depth discussions about them !! 

A song: teeth by aviators 😵‍💫💕 if anyone reading this hasn’t heard it then please listen to it rn it makes me feel feral

An unpopular opinion: JUSTICE FOR THE JEALOUSY AUDIO. i haven’t listened to it in a while but i stand by the opinion that angel was acting shady as hell for no reason and i mean maybe he was a little rough around the edges about it but he handled the situation better than i would’ve expected. i’ve seen people call him toxic and say they never would’ve stuck around but like would you have stuck around if you were in his shoes and the person you loved was acting the way angel did? the jealousy audio rly isn’t as bad as people make it out to be imho

[prettyboykatsuki]

fang ive been following u for years now and while i don’t use tumblr nearly as much anymore nor am i into a lot of the new fandoms you’ve started posting content for in the last year i still love coming onto ur blog and hearing what u have to say and i loveee reading ur fics anyways no matter who they’re about or how little i know about them. your meta/analysis posts have helped me understand so much about myself and why im into dark content and why fandom still means so much to me even tho i have less time for it <3 thank u for being u and i’m sorry for being emo about it, but i just have so much love and appreciation in my heart for creators and people like u who are so earnest about their interests and so open minded. ily forever

oh anon this is making me so freaking emotional sfkjfsdjf

i totally get it!! i think fandom really jumped in popularity around 2020 but as we go back to "normal life" u just naturally get busy but you know i think that is what is so good about it. fandom as it is always Here even when u are not..... and a crazy person like me will always be here to yap and post fic and do so many other things. im so honored that u have followed me so far and put up with my nonsense fdjkhsd esp w jumping around w fandoms and stuff since i know its been pretty niche. thank u for reading thank u for going thank u for sending nice asks like i love u so much... u dont need to be sorry. i really have sooo much genuine adoration for this Place even when it troubles me to do so. im so glad i could help u or bring u any joy... even a little drop as much as u bring me.... squishing u so tight

[caffeinatedmunchkin]

Omg I’m the anon who messaged you last week about not doubting yourself/your writing (idk why I didn’t just send it off anon, it’s like a habit now). I just read An Iron Hand in a Velvet Glove and I fucking loved it.

Their argument was so good. The way you captured their emotions felt sooo realistic and it’s honestly such a testament to your writing. I love the subversion of expectations, Emmrich feeling irritated instead of touched when Ariadne puts herself in danger. Such an interesting take to read about his personal struggles regarding his age.

And the way you described her remorse!!! “Gradual and dreaded, like a wound as it bled through gauze.” Idk why but that line just really snagged me for some reason. The tension between them was so delicious, and the whole fic in general was just so crazy well-paced on top of that.

Also this is probably such a weird thing to analyze but I loveee the way she physically hangs off him in this work (“the younger mage coiled herself around his arm like a vine”, “the little necromancer wrapped herself around him as if she wanted to permeate his flesh”, “her shorter limbs curled around his like another one of his jewels”) and that one passage in La Petit Mort (Her feet slid back to hook around his calves […] she coiled around him like a garden snake”). Something about the visual of her draping herself over and around him so often is just so *chefs kiss* combined with their size difference and (especially) age gap.

I’m obsessed with so much and I could honestly go on and on (how brazen she is, how refined he is {on the surface}, how their differences unravel the other, his eloquent dirty talk, their sweet way of apologizing at the end) but specifically the way you handled Emmrich’s inner conflict and his eventual descent into succumbing to his baser desires is just fucking perfect. And when he comes back to himself after the deed is done? Don’t even get me started.

Your writing is amazing, the dynamic you’ve created between these two is amazing, you are fucking amazing. (I hope this all sends together lol)

When I was writing An Iron Hand in a Velvet Glove, any time I was really in the thick of it, I routinely jumped back to your message specifically to help keep me at it - when I say it especially went out to you, I really really meant it. Thank you so much for that, and thank you so much for this. I don't even know where to start?

I literally am holding my hand to my heart I've read this a dozen times. I showed this to my siblings. There are tears in my eyes because I don't think I will ever be able to convey HOW much this means to me??? I've been distraught in the best way possible because I don't know how I could answer this with any hope of expressing my absolute gratefulness and humility and appreciation to all of what you've just said ???? ? If I didn't think it would be massively conceited I'd make this my pinned post LOL I am so proud and so humbled to receive something like this.

I just keep re-reading in disbelief that what I wrote was perceived this way?? That everything from their argument, to the way she wraps herself around him like a little snake stuck out to you in the way that it did? Agonizing over all the little things has been made SO well worth it.

And the Ariadne love????? The fact that her dynamic with Emmrich is recognized and enjoyed?? A dream come true 😭

It's not a weird thing to analyze at all that had me smiling so wide for so long I couldn't feel my face? I swear this is why writers write, like I get it know - really truly get it - I don't mean to ramble or come across as obnoxious I'm just sO ! at a loss for words ! i'm gonna CRY

I am so so so completely awestruck to have whole, complete human beings like,,,, quote what I've written back to me because they've enjoyed it that much???? I don't mean to sound hyperbolic but I am changed person.

It is an honor and a privilege to get such feedback, and insight :') you are fucking amazing and you're why I do this, I hope that's not too intense

hiii ♪( ´▽｀) i’m hoping to get a romantic matchup for ensemble stars, please? ♡ if you feel like doing a platonic one as well that’d be super cool but if not then just romantic is fine!!~

my personality type is INFP and my enneagram is 9w1. my sun sign is libra, moon sign is scorpio, and venus sign is virgo. i’m 5’6”, wear glasses, and have long-ish split dyed orange and purple hair and brown eyes. i love getting my hair dyed all kinds of different colors and will probably never again be seen with just my natural hair color lol. for my personality, i’m incredibly socially anxious and have OCD, i would consider myself kind of lazy and very indecisive, but also friendly, empathetic, and super affectionate/cuddly, i love hugs and holding hands especially (〃ω〃) very rarely will i make the first move to talk to someone, that usually only happens if i decide at first glance/meeting that i really REALLY like them, and sometimes even then i won’t. and even if someone new talks to me first, i generally won’t contribute much to the conversation unless we’re talking about one of my hardcore interests or i feel like we really click/they have an energy that makes me feel comfortable talking to them. i always joke that there’s a specific type of extrovert (not to say that it couldn’t be an introvert as well though!) that can get me to like and talk to them easily, otherwise i’ll just shy away from conversation. however, with the people i’m close to, i’m the loud, screaming, silly, obnoxious, emotional one lol.

i’ve always loved collecting dolls, puppets, and stuffed animals my whole life, i get attached to them as individuals and they’re so cute to look at and hold and they make me happy to have~ and they’re super fun to photograph and take with me places! i’d love to make my own plushies one day but i currently don’t know how to sew, but would like to learn. i also really like playing/watching people play video games, mostly nintendo stuff, scary games, some fighting games, and rhythm games. i would also consider drawing a hobby of mine, although i don’t do it as much as i’d like due to a lack of motivation and discouraging anticipation of things not coming out the way i’d like them to. but when i do draw it’s mostly in a cartoony style of characters that i like and sometimes myself and my friends with them, and occasionally original ones as well. i also really love cosplay and fursuiting~ (≧∀≦) my favorite food would be cinnamon chip muffins, although ironically I’m not a huge fan of sweets in general. i like them (mostly), they’re just not my favorites. i tend to prefer salty or spicy things. favorite drink would be diet pepsi.

i get hyperfixated on my interests to the point where it’s all i want to think about and talk about and do. i love love loveee buying merch of my interests!! a lot of times i’ll even find myself tempted to buy/actually buying merch of things i’m not even into if i find the characters/mascots particularly cute or pretty~

my favorite aesthetics are glitchcore, webcore, kidcore, dreamcore, weirdcore, and circuscore. i honestly love all colors and rainbows but if i had to pick a favorite it’d be light pink. according to spotify, my favorite music genres are scenecore, sped up, pop, glitchcore, and pixel. if i met someone who had the same favorite songs as me and wanted to dance to them together (or dance together to any songs, really) i’d probably just melt immediately lol, that’s sooo dreamy (*´꒳`*) my love languages for both giving and receiving are physical touch and gift giving.

okay aaaa i feel like this is already way too long and i’m not even sure if i listed the right things, but i hope it’s okay! i feel like i’m so bad at describing myself haha. thank you so much for taking the time to read all this (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)♡♡

Hello and thank you so much for your request, as well as your patience while I finish with the match-up requests! I hope that you enjoy it! Have a wonderful day/night!

Request: Enstars romantic match-up

I match you with........

Shu Itsuki

Now, it was a bit of a toss up as to who to choose cause there were several that I had in mind but Shu managed to latch on and stay hooked on

Right off the bat, he loves your sense of style. There is just something so unique about it all and the way that you piece it all together just makes it look even better

Let's face it, he has seen similar styles, but there are times where it really doesn't match the wearer or it just wasn't styled right, oh, but he loves how you do it

In some cases, you remind him of Mika in a number of ways, it's rather amusing to him. It would seem that he certainly attracts a certain type of people

Has absolutely taken you to Paris to collect more of these dolls that you are so drawn to you, he certainly sees the appeal

Shu is certainly one to help when it comes to finding your motivation. He understands that as an artist that there are times where you hit a slump and need help getting back out of it, thankfully, he knows just how to help

While he is working, while it may not seem like it, he would certainly listen to you ramble on for hours. There is just something comforting to it, listening to your partner ramble on about something that makes them so happy

In the end, he may not always be the most attentive, as he gets rather caught up in his work, he will be there for you the moment that you call for him

Thank you for your request!

Hi there! It’s not too long at all and you did a great job! This was a hard one. You are such a colorful person that it’s hard to pick. But hopefully you like who you got!

You Got…

Nahoya “Smiley” Kawata!!!

Would love your hair. He might even ask you to do his.

Would cook you excellent food. I don’t know if he is a baker, but I can imagine him learning to make cinnamon muffins just for you.

I feel like your styles vibe because a lot of his clothes are colorful.

Incredibly loyal, so much so that he’d protect you if you feel anxious or scared. He does it for all those he’s loyal to and you’d be no exception.

I could see you two spending hours just talking about your interest.

Game night dates!

[gethooked]

Here's my thoughts from tonight's dynamite

Hook vs Samoa Joe main event, ok I'm totally not nervous at all. This video package feels like it's a ppv. Ok but Hook's voice 😍 he needs to talk more. His slow walk oml.

Christian Cage vs Dustin Rhodes where did this match come from. I hate how Christian walks and I don't know why. Nick Wayne though 😍. Dustin's theme reminds of his Goldust theme. I honestly think Christian is going to win. Christian got yeeted over those steps oml. I feel like Dustin has been wrestling for 100 years, but I might actually cry when he retires. Hopefully he has a match for his retirement match. Not Nick trying to cheat. Yes Dustin, yambag jones, yambag city like Taz said. Dustin beat Nick's ass. Yess, get Nick out of here. (I love you Nick) Christian taking Adam's move 🫨 what did I say Christian was gonna win.

Who's house? Swerve's house! The way Swerve laughs is so weird to me. Renee looks sooooo pretty tonight. Did Swerve quote Harry Styles or am I going insane. Swerve's house!

Just looking at S🤮mmy passes me off. From what I've heard about Jericho recently I don't like him. A pizza cutter? Maybe he will cut your hair. Sydallllll!!!! Sydal beat Jericho before? Never knew that. At least we get to see Sydal.

Orange Cassidy and Trent with Chuck say whatttt... since when was he back. Hopefully OC and Trent win. Oh wait Penta and Komander... this match is gonna be a banger. Trust me I know bangers. Cero Miedo! I love that Rey's back too. Classic OC. I think my dogs like wrestling because whenever wrestling is on they have to wrestle to. They even do their own promos. Ok sorry back to the actual match. I hate picture in picture I get distracted by the commercials. So far I've been right about the winnings for 2 matches. Let's see how many more I can get. Bruh the undisputed kingdom can suck a fat one. Roddy shut the fuck up. Why are YOU trying to tell him what to do. Belongs to you? Bitch what? I agree with the other fans. OC another match?

Hangman you look different, did you dye your hair? Grow a mustache? Again Renee is sooo pretty. He doesn't think about Swerve? Yeah right. Hangman never threaten HOOK like that again.

This might make me cry. Rip Jay. Rest in Heaven. Poor Mark, he already looks emotional. #DemBoys period girl!! Good for you! The love Mark has for his niece is so cute. Now I'm gonna cry for real. The fact that Jay was a family man breaks my heart.

The bucks? What the hell happened to their faces. Nicholas and Matthew is crazyyyyy. Hypothetical he's using that word to much fr. Stiiiiiiiinnnnngggggggg. #changetheworld the shade towards cm punk is my favorite thing. Sweetheart is crazy.

Bullet club gold. Honestly I only like Jay. Mogul embassy? This match is gonna go crazy. I loveee Prince Nana. I think Toa missed. BCG won, knew that was gonna happen. We love Bowens btw. Scissor me Daddy Ass.

Wardlow? Adam Cole? Get off my screen sellouts.

Toni on commentary? Oml i love her but her gimmick gets irritating after awhile in my opinion. Deonna vs Anna? Deonna has to win. If I see anyone make comments about Deonna I will personally beat you the fuck up. What does virtuosa even mean? Yes Deonna as you should. Toni's faces are sooo funny bro. Poor Luther. Right in the what? Poor Taz. They must have been watching a telenovela. (I'm mexican I can make that joke)

Top Flight vs Private Party? I want Top Flight to win, butttt I think PP is going to win since Marq Quen is back. Idk I just hope both teams have fun. I loveeee PP's theme. Aww he gave away his durag. Same thing with TF's theme. I've been loving Darius' hair braided. What did Taz call them? I love when Zay does that little scream. Wasn't Darius on the ropes? Andretti? We love him too.

Hook vs Joe? Bae's gotta win this. Come on Hook. Hook looks so majestic. I'm gonna cry my poor Hookie. Joe you didn't have to actually have to kill him.

[daylightaftertherain]

i was listening to Renegade by Big Red Machine (ft.Taylor) and like OMFG i literally have so many emotions over it being sooo wilmon-coded. LIKE EACH AND EVERY SINGLE LINE is just so them to me and im losing my mind ashdjgk

like the lyrics just radiate late s1 and early s2 simon pov energy- of him just not knowing the immensity of the pressure wille is under but also wanting to so desperately understand what wille expects off of him and for wille to just GET HIS SHIT TOGETHER SO THAT SIMON CAN LOVE HIM😭😭😭 i just might make a more coherent post on my thoughts and feelings but for now i would loveee to hear ur analysis :]]

bestie!!!! agree with all of your points 100%, and I'm so glad you gave me a chance to ramble about renegade. I fucking love that song and it is seriously one of the most wilmon coded songs ever

anyway here's an obscenely long verse by verse analysis bc I have nothing better to do rn and you've unlocked the insanity of my spending over a year obsessing over this song

okay first of all renegade tells the entire story of yr chronologically from simon's pov if you really think about it, so that's how I'm going to approach it

second of all, just the word "renegade" screams wilmon. it means "a deserter from one faith, cause, or allegiance to another," or "an individual who rejects lawful or conventional behavior." ajskhdkjashdjhsjdhkjs ??????????

I tapped on your window on your darkest night The shape of you was jagged and weak There was nowhere for me to stay But I stayed anyway

this gives s1ep4 vibes, what with the window imagery (august tapping on windows), and wille's "jagged and weak" state of mind. and the fact that simon fell asleep sititng up, because he felt like there was "nowhere" for him to stay, since he had to keep an eye of wille, so he "stayed anyway."

And if I would've known How many pieces you had crumbled into I might've let them lay

this to me could either be simon regretting briefly getting himself invovled so deeply with wille, but still sticking with him because he loves wille. or, simon realizing how much shit wille has to go through with his title and the environment he's been raised in, and thinking back to the argument they had in s2ep4 (ish? I'm not quite sure when they had the fight I'm referring to), where wille says simon's the one who can't accept who he is. it's simon thinking about how he probably would've "let them lay."

Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these? And let all your damage damage me And carry your baggage up my street And make me your future history

first line is simon's first thought when wille tells him they only have to wait for two years in s2ep2, because they're past talking about the future, not when wille's already gone against his own promises and left simon alone (to simon, at least). next two lines kinda explain themselves, it's simon saying "don't you realize you've hurt me?" but, the "make me your future history" line is soooo good when you think about it with wilmon, because after s1ep6, their relationship became just "history," but after the s2 finale, they are literally making history, so it kind of foreshadows the jubilee speech.

It's time, you've come a long way Open the blinds, let me see your face You wouldn't be the first renegade To need somebody

first line is again foreshadowing for the speech, and wille has seriously come a long way over just two seasons. "open the blinds, let me see your face" has so much meaning behind it, what with the curtain imagery and the way the curtains were the only thing that could've protected their privacy, so "let me see your face" could be the feeling of the whole world demanding to know who simon was, since he was the only recognizable person in the video. but, I like to think about in another way too. wille hides behind a public persona, just like a pair of curtains, so "let me see your face" could also be simon pleading with wille to show the real version of himself.

"you wouldn't be the first renegade/to need somebody" could be talking about wille's therapy sessions, especially because queer people have always been renegades, but wille also being a queer royal?? and the way queer royals have existed throughout history and probably needed someone the way wille and simon need each other and a support system and someone to talk to in the way wille has boris now??? also the way the two lines are separated with "you wouldn't be the first renegade" being one line and "to need someone" being another and how that validates wille's queer existence first and then tells him it's okay to need someone regardless of who he is???? I'm going to jump off a cliff jfc

Is it insensitive for me to say Get your shit together? So I can love you

this. THIS. simon fell for wille just as hard, and he was in love in s1. I'm not accepting any arguments against this. this is him asking wille to figure himself out first and figure out what he wants before simon allows himself to properly love him again. poetry.

Is it really your anxiety That stops you from giving me everything? Or do you just not want to?

ashjgdkjhsgdskh okay so we know wille has anxiety, but we also know he's not completely helpless, like the boy can power through and be confident if he wants to. so this is so significant, since simon has seen the parts of wille that are willin=g to fight, the only thing that's stopping him is himself. and the "do you just not want to" has s2 simon vibes, but specifically episode three and four.

You fire off missiles 'cause you hate yourself But do you know you're demolishing me? And then you squeeze my hand as I'm about to leave

I might've already talked about this but this is just the entirety of the s1 "breakups" with wille pushing and pulling simon in and out, and how simon's a little more broken every time he gets rejected after allowing himself hope. and the "because you hate yourself" line is so ???? wille breaks thing off over and over because he feels like he has to, as the crown prince, but he also hates his title. simon on the other hand, sees wille as the monarchy, so wille hates himself. that means even as he "fire[s] off missiles" aimed at the crown, he's just demolishing himself, and hurting himself hurts simon.

And if I would've known How sharp the pieces were you'd crumbled into I might've let them lay

the difference between just pieces and sharp pieces comes into focus after the denial, because if simon still keeps trying to help wille piece himself back together, he'll be the one with bloody cuts all over his hands. that's why he breaks things off, and tells wille to do it himself. it also reminds me of the glass pieces of the snowglobe, and wille trying to put it back together (there's a whole other post about this I'll make later).

Open the blinds, let me see your face You wouldn't be the first renegade To need somebody

To need somebody To need somebody To need somebody To need somebody

"I could be free. with you." "this is how it is. this is how I feel. but you have to do what's right for you." the repetition of "to need somebody" and wille building a stronger support system through his friends and his therapist and the way simon also needs somebody too and wille's becoming someone simon can rely on and-

Is it insensitive for me to say (let all your damage damage me) Get your shit together (carry your baggage up my street) So I can love you? (And make me your future history)

*deep breath* *screaming* the first line is simon telling wille he doesn't really care if he's being insensitive, because wille hurt him. the seocnd line is that talk aboutside simon's house in s2ep5, with wille finally getting his shit together and metaphorically caryring all of his bagge up simon's street and laying everything out for him. and that's how simon falls for him all over again, starting the path towards the two of them making history together. *screaming*

(It's time, you've come a long way) is it really your anxiety (Open the blinds, let me see your face) that stops you from giving me everything (You wouldn't be the first renegade to need somebody) Or do you just not want to?

OUTRO TIME :D it's the jubilee speech in a nutshell, basically. wille's come so far from everything he's gone through, and "it's time" for him to make his stand. at first, it looks like he's not giving simon everything when august is about to replace him, but he gets up there, and "open[s] the blinds," letting everyone see him for himself, but turning after he comes out to smile at simon and letting him see his face. "you wouldn't be the first renegade to need somebody" wille's the first out queer royal, and behind all of that, he has people who he needs and who need him, and he and simon have each other. "or do you just not want to?" wille doesn't want to hide, keep secrets, and hurt people anymore, and he says that in his speech. wille ends it with doing the one thing he wants - telling simon and the world that he loves him.

i also can sooo see bonnie and reader being friends. compared to a lot of the other characters bonnie isn’t very judgmental and would probably be interested in the fact that you’re a writer. i could see tou guys bonding over some artistic things and just overall the fact you’re not taken that seriously. i also see. a very passive agressive friendship with Madeline, who isn’t really your friend and is also probably one of the people who makes some questionable comments about you and patrick but is also isn’t terrible. just a complicated friendship with her. as for patrick and friends, i can see him being friends with ed for some reason. i really can’t explain why it is i think this, but i just can see them getting along. i don’t think he’d like to be around perry and i’m on the fence about how he’d be with nathan

i also agree any comments made about patrick and reader about their age or relationship by other in monterey is definitely coming from a place of jealousy rather than actual belief on your relationship. literally other parents going: pretty, young couple with nice daughter and an interesting life story? can’t let them be happy! But like genuinely those type of emotions are so common in monterey, it’s like they feel their own unhappiness and want to project in some way or another. regardless i do agree that patrick would not care about intention!

as for the way reader withdraws. i can very clearly see that (somewhat cliché) scene of Patrick going “just talk to me please” and reader just looking at him not knowing what to say or fighting back the urge to cry

And because i am a completely sucker for angst, i can see this withdrawal just getting worse if reader was there to witness perry’s death. i think you’re glad he’s dead but it’s still a lot to deal with and you were already struggling in the first place. so going into the second season two timeline it just causes you to completely isolate. It’s so bad even your daughter knows something is wrong. So ofc patrick would know that something has gotten worse and he knows you were there and saw perry “slip” (well he thinks that) but the way you’ve changed definitely indicates something more went on there. i think this would be interesting to explore too because he isn’t the type of person to just back down and if something has upset you that much….i think he’d want to know what. (i’d love to hear your thoughts on this)

- 🫀

i love your breakdown of who would be friends with you!

i agree with you being friends with bonnie. you’re both hip and young and she seems like she’s pretty in touch with her artsy side so i totally agree that she would be interested in you since you’re an artist yourself. maybe your daughters are also friends, which pushes you together. i loveee madeline’s character but she’s totally someone you would clash heads with. it does seem to me like she would say the type of things that really get under your skin just as random comments or for laughs from the other moms and you really can’t stand that.

as for patrick, yes i agree that he would like ed, i’m going to factor perry out completely because there’s no way, and i don’t think he would like nathan. idk if you’re seeing a pattern here but i am!! i could see another slight issue for you being that you like/dislike different halves of couples. like patrick doesn’t like when you hang out with bonnie because he thinks nathan’s an annoying loser and you don’t like when he spends time with ed because you think his wife is a weird hater.

i also could really see patrick sitting down with you and just trying to get you to tell him what’s going on with you. because of your past experience with him not wanting to discuss the time period of your/your daughter’s life when you were basically a single mom, you know that there are just some things that are off limit to discuss with him. eventually you take it too far and stop sharing things that you really could be sharing with him, and that really hurts patrick. like you think you’re helping him by not intentionally causing problems but it’s really hurting you both.

if/when i write this au it probably won’t be exactly what big little lies was and will probably just be more about patrick and reader trying to navigate suburbia just because the plot was pretty complex and there’s some pretty serious stuff in there BUT i completely agree with your assessment that if you witnessed perry’s death it would tear you up inside. i almost wonder if patrick would have his suspicions about the slip being something more than a “slip” and the way that you just totally shut down kinda confirms it to him. i really don’t think he would care about that as much as he’s worried about your mental health getting so much worse so quickly. the fact that your daughter is also noticing that something is wrong is very very alarming to him, so he starts doing everything he can to try to make you feel better… but he also doesn’t know what’s wrong in the first place and because your communication has been so poor since moving to monterey there’s really no good way for you to navigate your feelings. he wants to be there so badly for you but he can’t if you won’t let him in and you’re refusing to let him in!!!

[bts-ify]

"I mean, who’s perfect anyways? Isn’t it more important that I see you and your flaws and still think of you as my type of person?"

yeah this is my favourite quote, that's THE GOAL it hit me so hard 😭

"What happened to me? You," he simply argues, "God, I don’t fucking wanna see you sad anymore. Hate those damn tears… just wanna be happy with you, want you in my life, like this or… or differently, just… in any way."

tell me this is not love...OF COURSE HE'S IN LOVE WITH HER please Rid 🥹 and i love when he calls her "angel" but when i read "baby" i'm just melting...same goes to their veeery very hot scenes but now that i think about it, comparing what they had at the beginning and now, like even that bathroom scene felt so intimate, lovely, undoubtedly extremely hot but so nice and emotional at the same time and it's also this evolution that's happening alongside their bond, it's getting really deep (hah, what a pun) and while reading this chapter i felt it the most by now, as a reader, because it was just a party and they'd spent so much time together before that but still, like, because it's him and because it's her it felt like more, everything was dripping with care and it was so visible for me, i love how this aspect changes with them, like they can't JUST fuck anymore ah i'm in love with them 🫠

also i didn't think i could be so pleased with Nara tbh 😂 she did an amazing job and i just hope it's gonna last this way, like someone said, she seems like she'd not go for jk anymore knowing and seeing how he feels about our oc and i'm here for it, i can be team nara if it stays like that 🥲

"‘Cause I’m not chasing them back. Just… just chasing you all day, am I not?" "My pretty baby," he praises; you’re not sure if he’s telling you or moreso himself, "you’re so beautiful… makes me sick."

Rid pleaseeee my heart 😭😭😭🧡 THEY'RE SOOO IN LOVE and that bathroom scene was hot yeah but when they came back it was ksjnlsjverjkhbshjbvj love love loveee making at its finest and loveliest

Of course you’re his first thought.

yeah let me just...hide in that blanket...forever...

Kim Namjoon has an ability to encourage that Jungkook has found to be rare. You’re different. Namjoon is different. Genuine trust in his abilities, pushing him forward.

can i just say i love your cmi namjoon so much and it's not so different to the irl namjoon effect but his character is so calming and genuine and nice as much as he can be while also being a boss, every time there's a part with him i feel calm and happy because he's this stable presence for jk and for this story by now too 🪴

The waves of sudden and powerful delight pull him underwater; if he wasn’t drowning in adoration yet, he most certainly is now. Moments like these stop him from walking away.

that's why they'll end up together eventually, ANOTHER REASON WHY I'M SO SURE, just...Rid, it's amazing how gently you write love, so so gentle in its overwhelming nature, it's so beautiful 🥹🧡

"That… you’ll be okay. I will be, too. But right now it hurts, okay? Maybe we can talk a bit later, but now just… We need to give ourselves a moment to think. To be without that damn pain just once." "And you think putting a barrier between us will hurt less?!" you prod. You’re not ready to leave. You really, genuinely, aren’t. "I don’t need that distance. You think you’re bad for me, right? But I won’t be happier without you around, I—"

and there's this and i absolutely understand them both. because it hurts to fight and to see someone close fight while you're basically the reason why, or a big part of it, it hurts and maybe if you go with the flow you get to stop that pain for a bit and that close person won't have to suffer this much

but it takes away this one pain and instead you've got another huge one, probably bigger, because you part ways...our oc gets it and i hope finally jk will get it too, it's not hurting less just hurting differently 😭 Rid i know you'll make them be together eventually but woah what a ride 😭

and like i always say every time, i felt this so much in my heart, had to go back and find what words caused those feelings and images because that's how i read you, that's how special your writing is and i'm so thankful for every story, for cmi and you continuing this 😭🧡 i'm scared of what's to come tbh but i always know we're in good hands with you 🥹 i love you, you're the reason behind so many beautiful feelings of mine, i'll always be grateful for it 🧡🫂

I just think you'd sound cute drunk, plus i think ive just wanted to drink these past few days and maybe i wanna get drunk with you. I become a bit bolder when im drunk. But i bet you'd look so cute looking at me after i call you puppy<3 im not someone who thinks brats should be disciplined either, i feel like subs get bratty cause they either want more love and attention or they wanna be roughed up a bit, sometimes its both<3 and you are a good puppy<3 so good<33🥰

I care enough to also always check the candles that the ppl in my life have to see if theyre essential oil based bc fuck paraffin based candles they are not the best for ppl or animals :( and i get you on fruity and clean smells!! Im also just insane and i used to play with fire for fun so i love burning wood smell!

Green was my fav color growing up!! I hated DHMIS bc of the "green is not a creative color" bullshit. Its still pretty up there but royal purple is my color, not even just ok favorites. Royal purple is low key a lucky/spiritual color for me. Sleepy girl who likes walks and cuddles<3 lemme come over to cuddle! Also how tall are you? 🫣 you dont gotta say if you dont wanna, im 5'7" (short king i guess lmao)

omg yes!! ill make one for you too!! i love sharing music! i just take a bit of time listening to new music bc i have to be in the right mood!! but i love music

[jayfortheday]

First off I LOVEEE your Eli works omg ;-; they bring me so much comfort you actually have NO idea hnggn I’ve reread them sooo many times, esp before bed because they calm me down a lot <3<3

Can I request Eli x chronically ill reader,, like headcanons on how he would take care of them on flare up days? How he’d distract them or just hold them quietly when they can’t do anything except lie very still and try not to cry ;-;

Eli With A Chronically Ill Reader HCs

Pairing: Eli Brooks x GN!Chronically ill!Reader

Word count: 376

Tags: chronic illness, hospitals, doctors, hugs

~~~~~~~~~~~

Eli didn’t know you were ill when you first started dating, but he knew that there were certain days you seemed to have harder times than others

When you told him you were chronically ill, it took him a bit to understand, but when he got it, he was really sympathetic

He still treats the same as before he knew, now he’s just more on the watch for cues you’re not doing so well

He did his best to educate himself on how it affects you so he could do his best to help where he could

If he sees your having a flare-up day, he’ll throw on your favorite TV show and get you something for pain relief

He’ll be sure to stay by your side, ready to get you anything you want or need

If there are ever days that you just can’t bring yourself to even get out of bed, Eli will stay with you, only getting up to grab things for you

As long as it doesn’t hurt you, Eli holds you gently, whether he’s hugging you or snuggling with you 

If you give even the slightest indication he’s hurting you, he’ll instantly back away and apologize profusely

You are literally his whole world and he would never forgive himself if he hurt you

If you ask Eli to come to any doctor’s appointments, he’ll do it in a heartbeat, doesn’t matter what he’s doing, nothing is more important than you

Your illness had brought you to the hospital a couple times and Eli made sure he was with you the whole time

You could tell seeing you in pain made him emotional, but he stayed strong for you, but if he sees you cry, you know he’s not far behind

If anyone ever makes snarky comments about your illness, Eli is more than happy to punch them if you give him to go-ahead

Klitz and Matt were always curious about your illness, but Eli insisted that unless you wanted to tell them, it wasn’t any of their business

Following that himself, Eli will never pry too far into your business, he trusts that if you want to tell him things, you will and that it’s not his job to pry

~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: Hope you enjoyed! Sorry if it's a little shorter than some of my other HCs, I honestly don't know a lot about what it's like knowing someone with a chronic illness, so I didn't want to get something wrong

I tried to do some research, but a lot of the things I found were about being someone's full-time caretaker, and not, like, their partner

Also, sorry for the lack of posts today, I was touring some apartments in another city so I didn't get the chance to sit down and write till now

[theperfectrose]

Hey there, your holiday exchange buddy here!

I already have something in my mind but I might need a little help, so is there anything you want to share with me? Tell me all you want about Rivusa, Skloom, Bloom, Riven, Musa 👀

*takes out notebook and a pen*

Hope you’ll have a great day!

I am typing this FOR THE 3RD TIME, because Tumblr won't save it every. single. time I write it 😂

So... Thrid time's the charm 😂

Rivusa for me is the "I hate you but we both know I love" vibe. They're both stubborn but when it comes to the other, they'd be willing to cave and let them have their way. And I do think that we are/were going to see (in s3) them growing toward the "ride or die" type, just like Skloom. I think they're both so opposite that they fit quite right. Like, Riven, although flirty and happy, is quite the opposite and has low emotional intelligence. And then there's Musa that is introverted and drowns in her music, but is soo in touch with her emotions. However, in the case of Rivusa (and Skloom) I kind of think that the girls would always put the rest of the girls before their relationship 🤔

Skloom is fluffy, all love vibe for me. Whenever I see those too I just feel love cause they're perfect for each other. Bloom is feisty and wants to jump into things without thinking, but Sky is quite the opposite. He is calm, processes things before jumping in... Just what she needs 😂 They give off like a power couple vibes or that "she'll kill you and I will politely try to stop her, but can't promise anything" kind of vibes 😂

Bloom is my fave character and in short I adore her cause she's feisty, jumpy, and will burn everything for the ones she loves (I firmly believe we would've/could've seen this in s3 faar better).

Riven is... I adore him cause he's an emotional lil bish but is also emotionally constipated 😂 And there are a few people he truly trusts and for whom he'd literally kill for. I loveee his relationship with Sky cause the brother vibe is so 🥺 Like I said, he looks happy, but he's actually not. And here comes Musa.

Whenever Sky is not there, I do believe that Musa would've become his support. She's introverted and quiet but inside its a complete opposite and the thing is, it's never coming from her. Being an empath, she can feel what everyone else feels so it's always a mess, but never her own. Now with Riven, it's the same mess, but given that he's been helping her a lot, it kind of feels closer than the rest (if this makes sense 😅). Anyway, I think Musa is actually a warrior hidden in plain sight, because nobody believes she can do offense (even her) and yet there's a lot of potential, even without her powers. And both Bloom and Musa, I think, would be very connected to their friends, seeing them as family.

Sooo idk if this made any sense and it helped or I just confused you even more 😅 Honestly, I'd love whatever you do 🥰❤️

Legally Blonde:

Guys I’m going to be very honest I started listening to this one before the poll was over so maybe that’s cheating BUT I was very Very impressed. It’s been like 4 days and I still cannot stop singing these songs in my brain this is fantastic. I also watched the proshot on YouTube so that also did a lot for me.

Favorite Things:

I LOVED EVERYTHING about the opening song it captures the feeling of Delta Nu so well imo. And the STAGING I was sooo obsessed with the windows at the beginning. It’s also like. A Super fucking catchy song.

Im going to be so honest I was obsessssed with all of Elle’s best friends they’re just so girlie and fun and I adore them sm

When Emmett showed up I was like O-O and attached my mind to him for a minute. He’s just a guy… let him be a lawyer…

BLOOD IN THE WATER. BLOOD IN THE WATERRRRRR Calahan’s actor has such a voice like omg… his voice dips and does all these cool things that I LOVE! And the music…. AAAA and thr group tentatively singing “…blood.. in the. Water,” was so real to how classes sound <33 but as a song I think it does a really really good job of setting up Calahan as a character. And the stage design as Elle was being kicked out of class was SO cool.

SO MUCH BETTER… THAN BE FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE (insane about this song. insane about it.) Guys she’s making it! She’s doing well!!! At Harvard! She’s growing as a person! And she threw away her boyfriend! She’s doing this for herself now!!!! ASKHDHAKDJH She’s doing something right!! Guys. She’s all I want to be in life actually. This song makes me feel so so so many emotions it’s amazing. I’m not okay. Oh my god.

Whipped into shape! This song has been playing in my head for days… I WANT YOU WHIPPED INTO SHAPE! WHEN I SAY JUMP SAY HOW HIGH! YOU KNOW YOURE DOING IT RIGHT, WHEN YOU START TOOO CRY! And back to Calahan’s actor… GUYS HIS VOICE IM SO OBSESSED UGHHHHH

I think the choreo for this scene was actually amazing! It’s really easy for gym scene songs to be boring and just noise and movement imo, but this was really concise and well done so I quite enjoyed it

ive seen the movie but like. I don’t think I’ll ever be over how Elle is just like. Yeahhh thats a Delta Nu girl.

AND ALSO PAULETTE IS SOOOOOO <333 HER X KYLE FOREVER <33333

bend and snap was so fun guys omg

OMG There! Right There! Is like the only song I had ever heard from the musical before this, so I knew it already (it’s how I found about the musical actually lmao) but AA the guy playing him was so fun to watch and also all the people in the court eventually getting into it was so silly. and ofc the finale to the song was SO fun.

guys the Calahan scene was real hard for me even though I knew it was coming… the fuckin “I thought you were smarter than that” helLO? Warner and his girlfriend watching it? WARNER AND HIS “WELL WELL WELL MONROE” (or whatever he says) LIKE DUDE SHUT UPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!!!

AND THEN LEGALLY BLONDE. guys what the FUCK why didn’t you tell me this musical was going to go so hard… guys this song made me sob actually… the negation of so much better because of this song… her giving up, how you can FEEL her sadness and shame and disappointment… just let her be Legally Blonde… EMMETT… you did your best with a hopeless case. YOU ARE THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS PLACE!… Elle you should knOWWWW- calahan hit on me. What? He kissed me, he fired me… there’s no reason for me to stay. What about Love? Did I ever mention love? Perhaps, if I’d made it more clear, that yiu belong right here, you wouldn’t have to go, cause you KNOW that I’m SO Much in LOVEEE… BACK TO THE SUN, BACK TO THE SHORE, BACK TO WHAT I WAAAS BEFOOOOORE, LIE ON THR BEACH, STAY WITHIN REACH, DONT STRAY BEYOOOOOOOOND! SOME GIRLS FIGHT HARD, SOME FACE THE TRIALS, SOME GIRLS WERE JUST MEANT TO SMile!… if you can hear, can I just say, how much I want yiu to stay…it’s not up to me… just let me be… Legally Blonde… I need you to stay…. it’s not up to me. Just let me be. Legallyyyy Bloooonde.

can you tell what my favorite song in the musical is. Take a wild guess.

AND THEN THE REPRISE I. UGHHHHHHHHHHH IM SO OKAY. You’re my New Muse! <— vocal moment of all time. She pronounces it so cutie omg.

GIRLS ITS A FACT, WHEN YOURE ATTACKED, YOUVE GOT TO RESPOND!

SHES LEGALLY BLONDE! Say cheese! No, say Legally Blonde!

the random dance break for Paulette and Kyle is so silly <33
