Simon (John Q.) SFW AND NSFW Headcanons

a/n: i knew yall would like that so here are so hcs that i had that i can now share with the world

warnings: controversial, mentions of pussy eating, me speaking my truth

SFW:

okay, first off, this man claims to HATE modern music but… he has a soft spot for Fiona Apple

listen, this man is madddd and if he were a woman he would be a mean butch lesbian

he always drives you everywhere

even when you’re like “babe i can drive its fine” he’s like “no, i’ll drive”

he tells people his favorite movie is something film bro-y like fight club, but his favorite movie is something like little shop of horrors or when harry met sally

sorry im projecting

honestly, he is bad about talking about his emotions like homie doesn't have the words for it so he just gets angry

BUT he learns a lot from you about that

actually, you learn a lot from him too

he talks so highly of you, even before dating

like always talks about how he can hardly have a good and controlled day without you

if you two are a long distance away, he'll always call you and talk about your day

but even then, you two will stay on the phone for hours, just talking about whatever and how much you miss each other

always tries to be a sweet boyfriend and make you breakfast

expect he will burn it and the kitchen will be on fire

i will say this: simon is a sensitive boy, esp with people's emotions like if you're sad and crying about something you called 'stupid' he'll still hold you and tell you how not stupid it is

he HATES when you're upset, esp if he can't do anything to help you

he'll just sadly watch you til you feel better

and when you do, he'll get you your favorite blanket and stuffed animals and kiss you like the good bf. HE. IS.

sorry, my daddy issues are on full display *sobs*

definitely doesn't like it when you call him babygirl or pookie

even as a joke

the man doesn't get that

my man has an old soul IM SO FR

like he doesn’t really like modern TV or music

movies… that a different story

HE FUCKING LOVES MOVIES.

especially if it is like a movie musical or high fantasy (like lotr or hobbit)

maybe a comedy but like a comedy from like the '60s that is probably super offensive now

nfsw under the cut

NSFW:

first off, do i agree with the top allegations for simon? kinda.

listen listen, i only say kinda because of the fact that this man has angry ISSUES

like if you are being a brat, this man doesn’t hold back definitely into spanking for this reason

OKAY I HAVE A THING… when you two do it together, he is very… parental (if that makes sense)

like yes he is daddy we know but like he is the type to whisper “this is for your own good” as he spanks you

two words: BODY. WORSHIP.

this man will kiss and touch your body like it's your last day on earth

AUGH AND AND the look he gives you when he’s inside you FUCKKKKKKK

the look is filled with so much love and gratitude for you okay like this needs to be stated at all but like 8 inches

the type of 8 inches that hits against your cervix in the right way

AND ANOTHER THING when you two first get together, his libido is very low

which also means he is very easy to take care of

soooooo if you wanted to just do a blowjob, you hypothetically could

but then, like three or four months into dating, HORN DOG.

you're surpised when he isn't pressing against your while cuddling

but if anything, you’ll be the one getting head, not him

THIS MAN IS PUSSY WHIPPED.

like he will grab your thighs and pull you closer while eating you out he lovesssss hearing your moans when you're under him UGH

dude but like on the rare time like he will bottom, its lowkey kinda…

JOHN Q IS A SWITCH AND I WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK MY TRUTH

this mfer groans like no tomorrow when he does bottom

soft,,,, begg…ing

like “you’re so good.” and then under his breath its “please keep going.”

also that boy has a praise kink with hints of degradation

am i saying that because i wrote a whole fic about it? yes. fuck yes.

im chewing at the bars of my enclosure

he gets so blushy when you look at him with your fuck-me eyes

COMMUNICATE WITH THAT BOY.

tell him what you want

tell him where you want it

tell him about your fantasies of him

he loves hearing your voice, especially when you talk in a soft and seductive voice

listen, the only reason i kinda don’t agree with the top allegations is because i believe JOHN Q IS A SERVICE TOP.

i've made my point very clear about that throughout this section

MAJOR ISAT ACT 5 SPOILERS

(DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING PAST DORMONT PLEASE!!)

okay so. wowie. just started act 5 of ISAT and my goodness do I have some thoughts. wowie. wowzers. while I was playing I didn't really get the chance to voice my thoughts because if you've played act 5 you know there is no time to do so. you are getting hit with one emotional train after another. no time to think no time to breathe only time to suffer. but the power of doing a let's play gave me time to think while editing so I jotted down some thoughts that you're now getting. you're welcome. (these will not be coherent at all just. as a heads up. sorry in advance) okay so. first friendquest I did was Mira's (which makes sense considering she's the first one that you run into). one of the things that really stuck out to me is that she - not just now, but even pre-game - has only tolerated the teasing from everyone. She has to remind herself that they're not being mean. she has to remind herself that they're not being mean. I just... she shouldn't have to do that. and that's one of the things I love about this game - the characters are so in depth and so well written that yeah, sometimes they unintentionally hurt each other. we see it over and over and over again with Siffrin. their family will tease them, they'll brush it off, but we'll see that he never really lets go of it. I have a feeling it's the same with Mira. she's okay with Siffrin teasing her, because "it's fine, everyone does." then continuing to say that she probably just has the "kind of personality where it's easy to want to tease me"?? MIRA NO- augh. my heart breaks for her. she struggles with her identity and purpose just like. well. just like everyone else in this game actually. that's. okay. (bookmarking that realization for later). something that's really interesting about Mira's friendquest in particular is how much she seems to be projecting onto Siffrin. I feel like out of everyone, she's looking for someone who can validate her struggles the most. It goes further than looking for someone who can relate - she wants someone who can relate and tell her that everything will be okay.

so, when Siffrin says what he does, she lashes out at them. the thing I found most interesting (and heartbreaking) about how she responds is that she isn't just putting Siffrin down - she's putting herself down at the same time. I'd even argue that she's calling herself out with her line of "always talking as if you're better than me! as if you know me!" because I feel like she struggles with not knowing who she is either. after all, who is she if she can't change in the way that her belief as a housemaiden calls her to??

and of course, this is all solidified in what she says next: "you're just as lost and useless as I am!!!"

because yeah. Mirabelle. Mirabelle. feels lost and useless. she doesn't know who she is if she can't follow the change belief in the way that is required of her. she doesn't know why the head housemaiden burdened her blessed her. she doesn't feel like she's capable. she wasn't able to stop the King before, how is she supposed to do it now?? she overthinks and worries about everything and I'm sure that includes all the choices she makes. I'm sure she's had doubts about all of her family members in one way or another - but she's chosen to trust them. to trust them to help her on this impossible, hopeless, last chance quest. and Siffrin just made it clear that she was wrong to do so.

watch me collapse into a inconsolable heap on the floor because of this game

PARANORMAL PERI PROLOGUE

CW: Angst, Fear, Hurt, Unconsciousness, Capture.

————

“Hey kid, how about we head back? I have a bad feeling about this."

Peri followed behind his godkid through the halls and different exhibits of the museum,

in a human disguise of course.

He hated having to walk on two legs. Even with his wand as a cane, it would be much less exhausting and much more efficient to fly. If only that wasn't seen as "paranormal" to the human eye.

"Not now Peri, I'm so close."

Dev walked at a fast pace, relying on his peripheral vision to guide him as he kept his eyes on the screen of his tablet.

"What are we even looking for again? I could help you search. I can use my magic to-"

"Stop questioning me, you don't need to know, I don't want your help."

"All I’m here for is to help." Peri sighed.

It was strange to see Dev so set to do things on his own without skipping steps with a wish, especially to be out in a crowded public. He was usually so impatient. Maybe this was a good thing.

Maybe it would be a good thing if it wasn't so risky,

risky for Peri.

The highest possible coincidental inconvenience was at play.

Peri had noticed the strange presence of paranormal investigators at the scene.

They might have been here before they arrived, he wasn't sure, but they were much more prominent inside.

Maybe they are here for something in an exhibit? Surely they weren't here for Peri.

Multiple packs.

They hunted around like excited bloodhounds.

They interviewed passing civilians for clues.

They grazed the floors and walls with their Sci-fi looking technology.

They were so focused on their mission. They didn't hesitate to drop down to the floor or bump past others without a warning, not prioritizing how their obsessiveness and ignorance to social cues may make them look.

The clunkiness of some of their devices only caused more of a clumsy scene.

Nothing about them screamed professional, but they had the passion for success.

A success that led Peri worried.

He was a target.

Gulp

“Dev, I highly recommend that I help you search! What is it you need? I can wish it to appear! Let me help!”

"I already told you, I don't want your help."

Dev replied with a growing annoyance.

"Dev… in case you haven't noticed, there are… paranormal investigators around… who are looking… for paranormal beings… like… I don't know… Fairy godparents maybe?! With wands, and wings… and floaty crowny things?!"

"You'll be fine, you're in a disguise anyway. I need to get this done now!"

Dev snapped back with a growing frustration.

"Dev, kid… we. need. to. go. I need to go, but I don't want to leave you unattended in a public-"

“Augh! Stop talking to me! You are always over my head all the time! I wish you would just stay put! Stop following me around like a bug in my ear!”

Be careful what you wish for.

“I… sigh, as you wish…”

Wish granted

Magical lock

Left parked alone.

Peri watched in defeat as his godkid walked out of sight.

When did things all go so wrong? What was he doing wrong?

He just wants to do right by Dev, why did it feel like he was failing his kid?

Beeep beep beep beeeeeep

Peri was startled by the sudden beeping next to him.

"Good evening to you! You haven't seen anything strange around here, have you?"

An investigator nudged Peri.

"Haha, Strange? Strange? Uh, no, no, I haven't seen anything strange, why would I know about anything strange? That would be strange! I'm not strange! I'm human! Totally human, yeah, see? Haha..."

Nervous Peri. He needed to keep his cool. He wasn't good at acting human.

"Yeah, that's all good. I hope I didn't spook you. My name's Marcus, Marcus Wells. I work for the Galax Institute (unaccredited). Me and my colleagues are here to investigate a tip we got about some paranormal activity going on here. If you see something, say something. I don't bite, unless you're a ghost, haha!"

"Yeah, oh yeah, I totally get it, I haven't seen anything but I'll call if I do… or not. I mean I'm not a- um… what's that?"

Beeeep beeeeeeep beeeeeeep

"Oh, sorry, that's just my paranormal detection device. It goes off when it senses paranormal activity. I must be close! Very close actually…"

"Haha! Oh wow, yeah, that's weird, really weird, and… strange."

"Strange, Yeah…"

The human shifted into focus. He waved the tech in the air, then away, then to the ground. The beeping changed in intensity.

Oh no no no no, he was so close! This beeping sound was going to give him away! Peri had to hold it together, he had to play it off. He would walk away if he could, but he's not sure if he can. He was wished to stay put. Is there something in the rules about breaking something like that? He had to check the rules, but he can't just magically pull up the book while being inspected.

Marcus grazed the detection device across the floor, chasing the source of the sound until it tapped against Peri's shoe.

BEEEEEEEEEEP

"Holy mother of mac n' cheese! It's right under you!"

Marcus blindly shoves Peri to the side in an excited effort to chase the source.

But in this action, the hand used to shove held the tech against the chest of the purple haired human.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

No no no no no no no

PSHK- BOOM!

The device explodes against Peri's chest.

The two jolt back in pain and fall back from the burst. The ruptured box falls to the ground.

A slow realization filled the room with tension and silence.

It's all over, what is he gonna say? What can he say!? Nothing under this pressure!

"Ah! I know what you're thinking, but that was probably just a malfunction, I mean how old is that tech anyway?! ! I'm not strange or paranormal, I'm not a fairy, I swear!!

Glitchy soul.

Blue.

Red energy.

Magic failing.

Wings exposed.

No no no no no no no

"Ah! T-That's nothing! Those aren't real I uhh.. I'm uhh..."

Peri attempted to poof away his wings, but they wouldn't disappear correctly. Even when he finally got them to poof away right, his crown had appeared.

Poof away the crown-- the wings appear again.

Why wasn’t his magic working correctly?

"I uhh… I'm a… I'm a cosplayer! Yeah, Just a totally normal human doing totally normal human things! I'm not a real fairy or anything, I mean, would a fairy have totally real and normal legs?"

Stuttery sweaty mess.

His crown appears again. He staggers to swoosh it away. His totally real legs began to fail as well.

The fairy stumbles backward to the ground,

out from the locked standing place.

Their form was now fully exposed to the crowd.

Marcus remains silent in a state of shock.

"IT'S A FAIRY!"

Another human called.

No no no no no no no

Lights, Shouts, Camera, Action!

Chaos

No no no no no no no

They see him!

They see him as a fairy!

He is not supposed to-

He is breaking the rules!

What-?!

Peri quickly flies upwards to dodge a butterfly net.

No no no no no no no

Before he could even think about using his magic to disappear—if it would even work correctly this time—there was a sudden LIGHT that shot past him from behind.

Flash!

All he knew after that was falling.

He must have just lost balance.

It took a second, but his body finally responded to the sudden light.

A sharp wave of hot pain rippled through the veins of his wings.

Burning.

His body hit the ground with a sudden

THUD

His wand skids across the floor.

What just happened?!

Something felt so off.

Something felt so numb.

Something was missing.

Peri feels around the area radiating with heat and pain.

What-

My- my wing-?!

Horrified.

Part of his body was missing.

Where did it go?

He looked to the ground to see a spread of black dust and ashes.

His wings—at least most of one and the tips of the other—

De-atomized

“Be careful with that! You almost killed them!"

Marcus exclaimed.

“Isn’t that what we are supposed to do?! Fairies are dangerous! When you see one, you zap em'!”

“Sure, but wouldn't they be much more valuable alive? Think about how awesome it would be if we could capture them alive!”

“That’s a good point, very good point.”

No no no no no no no

He had to fix this.

This is why you always follow the rules.

Where's my-?

His wand was so far out of reach.

Peri buzzes and shuffles to quickly retrieve his wand, but stumbles down quickly in a shock of pain.

He couldn't fly over.

He needed to move quickly.

He needs his cane,

but that's what he is yet to retrieve.

He tries to stand on his own,

shaky from adrenaline and lack of stability.

His little heart was overworking itself in a state of panic.

But just when he thought he had it-

ZZT!

He jolted from a sharp pain in his leg and his body hit the ground.

Was that just his legs being weird to him again? Or was that-

Something else.

He looked back to see a metal jabbed into the back of his thigh, with a tuft of red at the top.

What is…

He pulled out the needle with a twitch of pain.

This?!

It was so big compared to his tiny hand.

This wasn't made for someone his size.

Whatever it was, the effects began quickly.

He could feel the cold foreign substance dispersing through his skin from where it entered.

He flickered his eyes in an effort to blink away the sudden feeling of drowsiness.

The fairy's breathing hitches in realization of what is going on.

What was this magic? What was it doing to him?

No, no, was he dying? If he closed his eyes would he not wake up?

No, he had to stay awake. He had to escape.

He had to get his wand.

His hands shake in panic, but his heart slows.

He struggled to stand, his legs were beginning to give out.

They began to feel numb.

He was stuck on the floor, fighting to keep his consciousness.

His body begged for rest, but he couldn't give it, not until he was away,

Not until he wouldn't be seen,

Not until he wasn't breaking the rules.

His mind was beginning to give out to rest as well.

Thoughts became sluggish and fogged.

His heart was slowed.

He was so close to the peace of sleep.

All he knew was his wand.

All he could see was his wand.

His peripheral vision had darkened and blurred. Shadows of assumable humans crowded around him.

He could still see his wand between the silhouette legs

It felt useless to fight the fatigue.

His head lay defeated against the cold polished floor.

But he couldn't give up.

N-no… I can't…

He tensed for movement and weakly lifted his head

…break…

He reached out to the blurred yellow glow in the darkness for one last try.

…Da Rules…

His hand and head rested against the floor for the final time.

Eyes rolled back and the squint of sight finally glued shut.

Darkness consumed his world.

The last sensation he could feel was the touch of hands wrapping around him before everything went numb.

What happens next?

Read Paranormal Peri on AO3

This was originally meant to be a flashback in one of the newest chapters, but I just decided to cut it out and put it as the prologue because that just made a lot more sense.

I actually plan to turn this prologue into a comic.

[coff33andb00ks]

🌈 + jack + red 😁😁🥰

eee yay my new love 🥰 (with an appearance by my current hyperfixation we love to see it)

warnings: minor injury, blood, not even close to a drabble (I cut out quite a bit, full Jack fic coming soon)

Your digital signature has been accepted, the hands shook and photos taken. Starting next year, you'll be driving full time for Mercedes. You're still in a daze as you make your way through the motorhome to George's room to tell him the news that no one else can know. His face creases in a delighted grin and his hug nearly cracks a few ribs.

"We're going to cause so much trouble next year," he says, still grinning as he takes a selfie with you to send to Carmen, who you know will be calling you soon to scream with excitement. No one's supposed to know until the official announcement during Singapore weekend, so of course everyone already knows, and after your call with Carmen you're smiling and nodding to everyone congratulating you as you make your way to the Alpine garage.

Esteban's excitement matches George's, and you agree to get drinks together soon with the gang before crossing the garage to where Jack's lying on his back under the car. Mechanics are with him and you lean against the wall to wait patiently while they talk about a setup for the coming race. One thing you've always admired about Jack is his serious intent to know everything about the cars inside and out. The first time you met him he'd been reassembling his new kart and had given you a toothy grin while explaining he had to know how it worked to know how to make it work. You'd sat next to him and asked him what one part did and he'd slammed his finger with his wrench.

You smile now at the memory of him, lanky and grinning like a dork. Your crush developed immediately, and even now after all these years you still have a crush on the man. You blink and the lanky kid is gone, replaced by a man with the same toothy grin unfolding his tall frame.

"There's my girl."

Augh. My girl. Those words will never not make you grin and blush and feel like a princess in a fairy tale getting her happily ever after. You push away from the wall, eyes on him, your spatial awareness completely gone because your only focus is on him, your very own Flynn Rider Eugene Fitzherbert. "Hey babe, I--"

Your grand announcement is cut off by a very un-princesslike curse word as you trip over a mechanic's foot. That spectacular superhuman reaction time that Toto loves to tout when he's talking about you? On vacation while you pitch forward, your arm catching on the car's rear wing.

"Cocksucking, motherfucking - fuck," you groan once Jack's helped you upright. Your arm feels numb but you can feel the blood already seeping through the sleeve of your shirt.

"No no no don't look," Jack murmurs but you're already twisting in his hold, stretching out your arm to see the crimson stain spreading.

"It's just a scratch," you promise weakly.

Ten minutes later you're in the medical center, watching the towel Jack had pressed to the cut slowly turn red as the team gets everything ready. It's more than a cut, you're gonna need stitches, and Jack sits next to you, pale and wringing his hands.

"When we get married I'm wrapping you in bubble wrap," he mumbles, rubbing at the drying blood on his fingers.

"It's fine," you insist. "I've had worse..."

He groans, looking even paler. "Don't remind me, please."

You're fine. He's a wreck. It's always like this. When he's had a minor injury you were the one fretting like a mother hen. When you had covid he was coming up with all sorts of home remedies to take care of every symptom.

"If you're this bad over a little cut how are you gonna be when I have a baby?" The words come out unfiltered and he slumps back with a whimper.

"We're adopting," he manages.

You can only giggle, startling the medics as they begin stitching your wound. "Deal."

[broareweabouttoviberightnow]

pickin up watchin the outsiders show from a million years ago I'm BACK

[the-volume-is-astronomical]

How would you feel if I walked up to you and ripped your heart out?

a/n: its been so long since I've written, welcome to my new obsession! the title comes from the song Losing You by boy Pablo :] enjoyyyy (THUNDERBOLTS SPOILERS!!!)

Tags: (can be read as pre or during) Sam/Bucky, missing post credit scene, they be arguing, a few characters get mentioned but it’s only the boys

The amount of disdain in Sam’s voice was a complete rarity nowadays but unmistakable through the phone.  

“Is this really how I find out about this new team of yours?”, whispered in a wounded-anger, the worse kind to be directed your way. 

“Sam, augh, Valentina just--”, the exasperate tone was dismissive and definitely not the way to go, but Bucky was tired, 106 years old, and grumpiness came naturally with those two things. 

“Oh do not. Get me started on you working for ‘rebrander of the U.S. Agent’ Fontaine. I got intel from Everett Ross-- do you even know anything about this woman?!”, as he sorted his thoughts into words, the frustration naturally escalated as more reasons to be mad at Bucky popped into his brain. 

“Okay. I know this looks…pretty horrible.”, adjusting to whatever situation comes his way is something Bucky does everyday on the field, so taking a hard left to placate his Cap was par for the course. 

“‘Looks pretty horrible’? I talked to you while Joaquin was in critical condition, to air out everything I had been dealing with because you fucking encouraged me to. The mantle Steve left behind, reconsidering the serum, and the weight on my shoulders because the president wanted me to rebuild the Avengers-- only for you to go and announce the ‘New Avengers’ months later!” 

All energy quickly left Sam, leaving a breathless, “Buck, what did you want me to think?”, behind.

“...I-I’m sorry. Fuck, this does look bad”, taking a small reprive to gather his thoughts by rubbing his eyes. “We were trying to get Valentina arrested. She went behind the curtain-- we didn’t think she was going to have an entire press circut ready!”, who knew sounding innocent, when you are, could be this hard. He's usually guilty of whatever he’s accused, so this is a new experience. 

“She announced us as the new team…Yelena seemed to have a plan because she whispered to her, something like ‘you owe us your life’, knowing her.”

Sam stayed silent for a moment. 

Bucky never feared silence, he still didn’t, but he was not used to wanting to fill it when he was with Sam. It was either comfortable or the other would fill the quiet with the start of some long winded banter. 

“You didnt know the team…was being formed…or that you were in it?”, Sam was cautious with his words, still wary that he will get an answer that will fracture the closest relationship he's allowed himself in years. 

“Of course not, Sam. I would have fucking told you!”, he meant it. Sam respected honesty and earning Sam’s approval had become a constant nagging in the back of his mind for some time. “We’ve been through it together…I- wouldn’t want you to not tell me shit because of a random impeachment case I wanted to get recognition for.” 

“Fine. You didn’t know but why wouldn’t you just… say as much? Tell the press she was full of shit and have her on her way.”, the anger was still there but temporarily brough to a simmer. 

“We thought there could be something to get from this. A new Avenger’s team is in order and they all want recognition, a life of a hero instead of a criminal.”,

“But that’s my responsibility now--”, there was a frustration of when someone has completely missed the point, when you think they’ve finally understood, and they say something to disprove that. 

“Yes but--I’ve been there before…I know how it feels. To go from a Hydra tool to celebrated after Thanos? I couldn’t deny that to anyone else.”, theres been enough conversation similar to this one, Bucky always backed out before getting too close or deep to the truth of what he feels. 

That anger Sam started the conversation with, the hurt, actually made him hesitate. He could still lose him, by being an idiot and not communicating, not explaining what was going in the frozen recesses of his mind. 

That's not an option. 

“Sam, maybe that’s what I was searching for…with this whole campaign for congress”

“D-did you not think I would have you on the team?”, voice a whisper to not allow it to crack, not now. 

“I’m sure you would've. It’s just…in this team, we all have a past, yet we get presented as the ‘New Avengers’. Could you imagine that back then?”, something he could’ve never dreamt of, accomplished. 

“There’s a lot of ‘we’ talk considering the whole lone White Wolf reputation. What bonding could I have missed?”, it was bitter, and ugly, but the anger had caught up to Sam. He was a righteous man, not a saint. 

Bucky, had to deescalate. If the shield fiasco didn’t strain his relationship with Sam, this could still work out.

“Have you heard of trauma bonding? The Void is one nasty power.”, jokes and banter. That’s who they were.

“Why is he on your team? Sentry was unstable and it led to New York being turned into a void, no light, or people, while those inside suffered reliving their worse memories.”, it was worry that drive the accusation. Of course for the general population but mainly Bucky. 

There are so many memories from the Winter Soldier and before then he could be forced to relive. An entire eternity trapped in the Void and he probably wouldn’t run out of memories, literally having more that one lifetime of memories. 

“His name is Bob, pretty pleasant kid. He’s just gone through a lot.”, there was an attempt to make the words sound nicer than he meant them to be but he probably failed. 

“Well that, kid, is dangerous. We should be preventing something like this from happening. Not babying the temporary mass murderer.”, in Sam’s eyes it was so easy to see. They needed a reliable team that could serve and protect. Having someone with such limitless power and trauma packed into one human body hadn’t gone well in the past. 

“Well, Sam. I actually am a serial mass murderer. What are you suggesting be done with me?!”, he couldnt hold back the rage any longer. That boy had been through enough and he wasn’t going to allow any other injustice against him, no matter how well intentioned. 

“That’s not the same.”, it was Sam’s turn to tread carefully. This was sensitive territory and he would never want to distress Bucky, not after all the work he had done. 

“How is it not the same?!”, so much fury behind it.

“Bucky, do you not remember Wanda? I got to know her when we were on the run, she had her demons but she tried, kept them at bay with a support system. In one fell swoop it was all gone. She couldn't handle it. No one would expect her to! But she kidnapped a town, dead to the rest of the world, making them have her nightmares. Sound familiar yet?!”, there was no way Bucky wasn’t understanding what he was trying to get at, it felt purposeful. 

“We can get him a therapist! He has us! Yelena promised to basically never let him out of her sight--”, Bob wasn’t unfixable, wasnt unlovable. He was a much better person than Bucky, his darkest thoughts literally manifested into a supervillain. How could Sam blame him for that?

“Were you not listening to me?! Wanda had all of that. Yet she’s still fucking dead. Went insane trying to get back her dead husband and children that never existed. It can all just---”

“Tell me what would you suggest to keep him in check then?”, there was still the slightest effort to calm down, barely noticeable due to the amount of seethe within him. 

“I was suggesting it could be better to provide him a facility where he could learn to control his powers--”

“Oh, yeah? Sure! Get him to a facility where they can experiment on him. Oh wait! That’s exactly what happened and one of the most disturbing things he’s experienced.”, it was complete irritation and pettiness exuding from Bucky in waves. 

“I know. But maybe that’s the only way to get him to anything near normal after everything he’s gone through. Some intense therapy or a neurological breakthrough that can get rid of The Void!”, Sam was being misunderstood again and this was a feeling he really didn’t enjoy, and he can’t say he’s had Bucky be the reason for it. Sure they aren’t the best talkers but they were good listeners. 

“Oh great idea, just brain wash him! You want some suggestions for the trigger words because I’ve got a few--” 

“I didn’t say that!” 

“Y-yeah, but it could easily turn into--”

“If you think I would ever say that… I don’t think you know me at all.”, Sam’s voice cracked at that last word. He knew it wasn’t true. Bucky knew him better than anyone else but in the moment he felt like they were strangers to each other. 

Bucky’s throat was so dry, he could barely breathe, or maybe he was breathing too much

“...Sam--” 

“This conversation obviously isn’t fruitful. We should find a different way to talk about this because this was a definite mistake--”, defaulting to impersonal language. It made the hurt a little less, frostbite numb. 

“Sam. Please--”, it was desperate, raw and vulnerable. Bucky layed on a table for display

“Goodbye, James.”

Once again, silence. From the one person he could hear talk for the rest of his days.

thoughts on using the word papi in fic? i’ve heard it’s fine but that was the opinion from white woman i’d rather hear from a latina

hi honey, thanks for coming to an actual latina instead of a ww and being willing to learn ❤️ short answer: it’s not fine. long answer below the cut

disclaimer: i don’t speak spanish! i speak only scraps of conversational nahuatl and can read a semi decent amount of spanish but i grew up speaking a teeeeny bit of spanish before my family decided to go english only. essentially, im a no sabo as my parents wanted to protect me from being brown. (self hating parents i swear)

i did go to some of my spanish speaking babes to know how to approach this ask, because while i do understand how we are fetishized, i have never been fetishized for speaking spanish or the lack thereof ( @gothcsz and @ovaryacted thank yall for the input!! go follow them they’re my darlings)

i do think there’s more nuance to it than “AUGH NO RACISM NOT FINE” and “oh this is alright!” there’s a biiiiiig gap between those two things and a bridge between those two things. where you land is as a result of several factors. i don’t think running to chase someone who uses papi in a fic is the move, but rather a gradual acknowledgment of how to improve. because in this fandom we all have to acknowledge we’re writing for a latino man, who, at the end of the day, has been reduced from his talented/powerhouse performances to “papi chulo” or “papito” in tiktok comments. it’s another repetition of the pattern of how we are reduced to our capability to sexually satisfy others.

i know latinas who call their partners papi. i know latinas who don’t call their partners papi— primarily because it’s something they call their fathers and thus makes them uncomfortable. too close to home, y’know? i do not know white girls who call their partners papi.

i was thinking about it like this two days ago when you sent this ask over. if i had a french partner i wouldn’t be going “oui oui baguette” or calling him père. (cut to me being confused when my dom tries to talk dirty to me in spanish and im there like 😶 bc idk a damn thing he’s saying!!) i think people often find another language hot because of the commodification of having an accent, but this is amplified if it is from a person of color. i also don’t tend to think it’s a WW’s place to write papi into their fics, but especially say “oh it’s fine!” that’s… weird to me. because why are they speaking instead of us? to excuse themselves? most likely.

anyway— let me know if you need clarification; this is all over the place lmao

[skele-bunny]

So I had talked about this with Hypnone about Dewdrop having his BPD splits usually directed towards Aether as he's Dew's FP...... Here's the ramble!:

Dew having a fp bpd split and not realizing after getting back from tour (stress trigger). Just absolutely head over heels for Aether again, idolizing everything he's doing, even smothering him with more physical affections then what he normally does, and just on this bliss train. It takes Aeth a second to figure out what's happening but it gets obvious when he's called in to the infirmary and Dew just drops

"Why? Why are you leaving me? What did I do?!" He just yelling, absolutely panicked and holding onto Aether before shoving him away, then back to holding him. "Don't leave me, please don't leave me." Cutting to "Fine! Fuck you, fucking leave and I don't want to see you!"

Aether just giving a quick callback while Dew is having a full meltdown on their bed explaining he has to deal with something more important. Just speaking calmly, going to one knee in front of Dewdrop.

"Firefly, I love you a whole bunch. I want you to realize you're splitting right now. Can you do that for me?"

"I'm not fucking splitting! I just missed you and now you're leaving me when I haven't done anything!"

Aether just takes his hand, wiping away his tears. "Yes, you are. I love you more than anything in this world and I'm not willingly leaving you. You know I'm on call for the infirmary all the time now, and I know you're upset, I know you're stressed out. I'm not invalidating anything you feel right now, okay? I already called them, I'm staying right here until you're better."

"But I don't want you to leave!"

"And why is that?"

And Dew is just hiccuping as his thought process slowly starts getting more clear and not just straight black, his hair no longer smoldering. "I... Because I just got home, and we only spent last night together. I'm not ready for you to go away..."

"I know, I don't want to leave either. Tell you what, how about this: you let me go to work for a while, and I'll tell them I need tomorrow off. No ifs-ands-or buts about it. We can spend the entire day together."

Takes a bit more reassurance as Dew starts crying again, but he finally agrees. Aether dresses him in his clothes, even putting his side of the beds pillows around him. Makes a quick trip to the kitchen and brings back Dew's snacks and drinks he loves, then a movie.

"Your job is to watch this movie, and when I get back you have to tell me about it, yeah?" He's smiling as Dewdrop nods back with his own smile.

"Yeah! I can do that."

Multiple kisses shared and more reassurances before Aether finally dips away. He gets back around 1 am, and he feels bad as Dew is still wide awake, now watching some random show that's on. He's just smiling, making grabby hands for Aether and instantly starts rambling about the movie, snuggled right on his chest as he just babbles and babbles.

"Then Phillip gets really upset and ended up firing Dell, and then as time passes he ends up being called back by Maggie because Phillip is in a really bad depression and they repair their friendship, and then it cuts to the first scene where they're getting pulled over and it just- AUGH! It was such a good movie!"

Aether is smiling the entire time and holding him, kissing his cheek. "I'm glad you liked it! It's one of my favorites. By the way, I got us dinner plans for tomorrow, sound good?"

"Yeah!" Dew just looking up with half a smile. "Thank you for... You know... Dealing with me."

"Hey, I'm not 'dealing with you', I'm loving you. That's what a husband does!"

from one admirer to another : fried?

pairing: leon kennedy x reader || masterpost: from one admirer to another

synopsis: from one admirer to another, an online penpal service, allows for two people with common interests to write to each other without ever revealing their actual address! Luckily for both you and Leon, you get matched up! What do eggs and Christmas even have in common anyway? sure hope it's that modeling business and NOT that Ada Wong addiction.

featuring: reader as scrambled eggs // leon as christmas

Dear scrambled eggs,

Happy Paris Fashion Week. I'm walking this year (finally???) but not the same show as Ada. I ended up cast by a different brand than her, which makes sense since we don't exactly share the same genre of face. Also, she's in Paris for shoots while I'm here to walk. Women and men's fashion week aren't even the same week. I found that a little sad. Also, my agent got me on some sort of makeup from my makeup artist and somehow he's made me look 29 like hello?? I am a literal child ?? (I'm not. but im still in my early twenties).

My letter this time is going to be short (again) mainly because I need to mail this internationally and I'd like for you to send me a letter to my airbnb (the host gave me the keys).

I speak Spanish and literally no French, so when a lady in a shop was talking to me I could only shake my head and tell her no in Spanish and I still have no idea what she wanted. I guess we'll never know.

Right. The last walk was alright. I got to walk with the model, but I got a death glare from their friend bc I swear I felt my soul slip out of my body. Like, sorry your friend is hot??? Sorry I'm no better??? :((( What's it take for a guy to score a date these days? I ALSO did not get their number again. Can you believe that? I turned around and they disappeared into thin air! AUGH.

Anyways, I'm sending you one of the luxury-brand paris postcards I received as a small gift. Hope you like it.

What are you up to the month that I'm stuck in Paris? Christmas

Leon finishes walking his show, backstage with a handful of models he's met here and there, mainly sticking with the group of raccoon models. Everyone's sharing the same Airbnb. It should sound like hell, except most people have their own room, and somehow it's the greatest blessing on earth because he knows Ada would ruin his life if he even thought of asking her about you.

His letter is mailed out first thing, shitty translator in hand as he's told Reverso is the better of translators for French, and he gets it mailed out with a quick wink from the old lady at the post office. He's sure she did it because he's on the more attractive side and not the fact that he's sending a letter to his penpal like some middle school boy. He should get over that crush on you too.

He starts his last walk of this fashion week, meeting new people to have a quick talk to, adding private accounts and getting to know a handful of other Ada fans at his last walk. It's the only one where he even gets to see Ada, and her walk is... no joke. Hatred be dammed that woman can strut. He wonders if there's another universe where he didn't accidentally get shot through the heart the first time he met her best friend.

The more Leon paid attention, the more he seemed to understand that one of the main reasons your contract got off so easy was because Ada had requested it. Some people even call you a result of nepotism. Well, not that you seemed to like the job all that much. Dare he say it, to you, modeling was just a side hustle.

How nice it must be to be in a position like that.

When the models finish up at the show, Leon's told he has a shoot the next day, and then a handful of shows scattered nearby. They're making him go to Spain for a handful of days for a photoshoot with Ashley, and then he's practically free for the rest of the time. He's sure it's because his manager's girlfriend wants to hang around the city. Leon's more than fine with staying in the city. It'll be a good break.

Shame though, he misses Sunny.

prev letter : masterlist : next letter

[edwin-paynes-bowtie]

Okay, I gotta do this for my own sanity because it's word vomit time. Song of Achilles rant. 0/5 stars to this one.

Okay. I am not a fan of war stories or of tragedies. This was both of those things. So I will admit that this was perhaps not my genre. THAT BEING SAID, I can usually point to a tragedy or a war story and go "that was objectively good/well-done, but not my thing." This was neither good nor well-done.

The main appeal of this book - its 'heart,' if you will - seems to be the ""love story"" between Patroclus and Achilles. Unfortunately, I'm leaving the book with 0 understanding of what they like about each other. Achilles was lowkey an enormously terrible person. Patroclus KNOWS THIS. He just is an idiot who continuously gives him the benefit of the doubt over and over again. Achilles sends girls off to be raped. He kills an enemy and drags his corpse around for ??? reasons besides he can. Patroclus is sitting there just going "O! His blond cascading waves! Wow!! He is everything to me my SOUL ahhh." Their emotional connection is deeply shallow in how it's written.

ANYWAY fine. Whatever. The narrative also deeply hates women. The only important female characters are a) Achilles's goddess mom who's continuously villified, and b) a slave girl (the only character I actually liked, RIP) who randomly dies at the end for no reason other than shock value. Women are sent off to be raped continuously; the narrative justifies this. I understand that in times of war back in this time period this actually happened, but I am baffled by the author's seemingly constant attempts to portray this POSITIVELY. Achilles himself is just like 'yeah, this girl's a bartering chip!" and Patroclus, while he's not cool with it and does go save the girl, totally rationalizes this and the author clearly thinks it's justified !!????

No.

And let's talk about that shitty ass pacing. Nothing happens!!! For half the book!!! And then they all go to war and the ONLY reason Patroclus is there is because he wants to follow Achilles. Because they share a 'so devoted the lines blur' Bond apparently, like Will/Jem or Charles/Edwin. News flash. They will NEVER HAVE A BOND ABOVE BONDS LIKE WILL/JEM OR CHARLES/EDWIN.

Anyway!!! Whenever Patroclus talks about Achilles, it's just like oH My gOd hE'S bEaUtIfUl. Okay bro!!! We get it!! Y'all have to have sex ALL THE TIME because this is Madeline Miller's shitty yaoi fanfic of Greek Myths!!! Greek myths are deeply gay which is great, but NOT LIKE THIS! It's giving a middle schooler who just finished Junjo Romantica and Percy Jackson and decided to write a crossover fic. And, yes, the prose is that bad. It's so fucking simplistic. I cannot even.

I hated this book. I hated this book painfully. And I cannot believe that I accidentally gave one of my favourite of my own fanfics a title from it. I like, want to go change the title. I just used it because I liked the quote. AUGH.

Would give this negative stars if I could. I do not think I've disliked a book this much since Queen of Air and Darkness, and at least Qoaad had, like, some funny moments and didn't hate women.

[crossdressingdeath]

Rook: How are the knives coming? Lucanis: Rook. This isn't going to work. Rook: We're going to make it work. Lucanis: They moved the moon. We're in over our heads. That's not magic you can fight with a blade! You're putting your life in our hands. My hands. All I know is death. Rook: I know we'll get through this. Lucanis: Optimism is your best and worst quality. If I have to kill every blighted creature in Thedas to keep you safe, I will. Rook: You don't have to do everything alone. Lucanis: I'm never alone anymore. Rook: You know what I mean. I'll be here for you. Lucanis: Don't make promises you might not keep. Rook: Lucanis, I— Lucanis: Don't. Whatever it takes. I won't miss this time. I'll meet you at the eluvian. [...] Rook: Right. Business as usual. Everything's fine. Definitely not thinking about that all day.

AUGH.

Anyway, I love this. I love Lucanis's protectiveness and his fear that he's going to get Rook killed. He says "If I have to kill every blighted creature in Thedas to keep you safe, I will" and I just melt.

From what I've heard and seen I think all of the pre-ritual conversations with the LIs leave something unfinished (gotta give the LI something to dwell on after that whole situation goes tits-up, after all), and I love Lucanis cutting Rook off before they can (I assume) tell him they love him as part of that. Lucanis having to spend weeks knowing he cut them off before what as far as he knows was the only chance he'd ever get to hear them say "I love you"... It's very fun combined with him being the one to say "I love you" first in the end, he's not missing another chance

I also love Rook's sarcastic "Definitely not thinking about that all day", it plays super well with how slow this romance is. These two haven't actually talked about their relationship... at all, there's obviously something there and they don't deny it in any way but they haven't discussed it. And then here going into what might be the death of all of them Rook tries to tell Lucanis they love him and he shuts them down! And it's not that Lucanis doesn't love Rook or doesn't believe they love him (Rook would be much more upset about it if they thought that was the case) and honestly I can't blame him given "Hey we might die tomorrow, I love you" is... not an ideal way to hear that for the first time, but it would still hurt I'm sure. Also I'm a little disappointed that first "I love you" happens just before the final battle instead of during the post-Fade jail conversation because Lucanis telling Rook he loves them at the first opportunity he gets after that whole mess having nearly lost the chance to ever tell them would've been so very very good.

> be me

> show up to cromar talk. omgg. him and Teri walking in waow. sit down front row because nobody is there yet and it's next to a speaker. Teri sits two seats away from me and I bug tf out about it listening to her talk to the guy next to me

christmas movies

pairing. eddie munson x gn!reader

summary. you come into family video looking for a christmas movie that you’re making eddie watch with you.

content warnings. pet names (sweetheart), loving teasing.

a/n. augh i dunno how i feel about this….

word count. 812

12 days of christmas

It was almost as if you had Eddie at gunpoint. The way you dragged him into the video store with a set determination, it seemed like he was forced to be here. He seemed grumpier than usual, which no one would ever admit to his face. The way he practically flung the door open for you was enough to draw people away.

Normally, he would never even think about whining over quality time with you. He’s a sucker for you and your company in every way of the sort. He would do just about anything for you, and he’s stood by that claim for all of your relationship.

That was, until, you decided that a cheesy Christmas movie was something you wanted to watch with him. The mere mention of it made his eyebrows pinch together in disgust. It was almost instinct for Eddie to protest watching a Christmas movie. In fact, he protested it the entire chilly drive to the video store, and even while you were searching for the perfect one to watch with him!

“But Eds!” You protested back. “I watched all those stupid horror movies with you! You can suffer through one Christmas movie!”

Eddie’s mouth dropped in a half fake annoyance. Sure, he knew you were messing with him, yet he still decided to stand up for himself. He brought a hand to his chest dramatically, gasping for air he didn’t need. You couldn’t help but roll your eyes.

“Name one horror movie we watched that was stupid.”

“Children of the Corn,” you fired back immediately. “Even calling it a horror movie is a disgrace to the genre.” Eddie sat in a silence as you went back to skim through movies. You smirked at this newfound quietness. Even he had admitted previously that Children of the Corn hadn’t met his expectations.

In that silence, you found A Christmas Story. You picked it up with confidence, strutting straight over to the freshly cleaned counter. There were wipe streaks all against it that you were sure was Steve’s doing. When noticing he was no where to be seen, Eddie reached over to obnoxiously ring the bell on the counter. It was rusty, but it did its job fine, clear by the way Steve ushered out to the front desk.

“You’re unbelievable, Munson,” Steve glared at him, his eyes moving and sorting at you. He took the tape from your hands to scan, immediately starting up small talk with you two.

“How much are you paying him to sit through this?” Steve teased. He smirked at the both of you as he spoke, taking the five dollar bill from your hands for ring you up.

“Nothing, but I am revoking his sex privileges if he doesn’t,” you joked back, nudging Eddie’s arm with your elbow. He didn’t seem as impressed, though he did let a smile play on his face. You knew he would sit through it regardless of any of his protests or complaints.

Soon, Steve gave you some coins back for change, along with a receipt with a return date on it. The tape was placed into your hands after you’d dumped the loose change into your wallet. With some farewells, you two were off, heading back to Eddie’s place, where you excitedly gathered up a large blanket for you two to share.

Reluctantly, Eddie slipped the tape into the player. He sat down onto the couch, the material dipping as he leaned back and began to rest against it. His arm was propped up in the back, which you were quick to rest in front of. You moved his arm gently for a moment, wrapping the warm blanket around your bodies, before placing it around your waist contently.

You leaned your body against his instinctively, your head resting carefully on his shoulder as he began to play the movie. Eddie’s hands were cold from the weather outside, though that didn’t stop him from placing a cold hand onto your hip.

And, surprisingly, Eddie was enjoying the movie. Despite his multiple protests, he caught himself laughing and grinning at some scenes. Each laugh earned him a loving gaze from you. All of his complaints had seemingly washed away by the end of the film. He was smiling, though you weren’t entirely sure if it was genuine or for sure. You decided it was genuine quickly after he looked down at you. That one quick chance at his soft eyes told you everything.

“Wasn’t that better than the horror movies?” You interrogated him, the credits rolling with music playing in the back.

“Not a chance, sweetheart,” Eddie replied, squeezing you tight, a smile still playing on his lips.

You rolled your eyes yet again at him, though this time, you followed up with a soft kiss. You could never stay upset with him, especially when it was for play

[th-compl-x]

Hello, Lynette again, writing to your Lyney.

Your Arlecchino told me you’re married. You have to imagine my shock since you weren’t there to witness it in person. Despite not being your Lynette, I still am glad to see you in a happy marriage. I think every Lyney in every universe deserves good things.

How are you doing? What’s your favorite new thing today?

Oh my~! Two letters in one day!? Don't tell me you're exhausting yourself on me, now! You ought to have a slice of peach cake after this! And yes, as I said:

I am! 💍💕

I love him very dearly, and we've been recently married, actually! Decided to have the ceremony on Valentine's Day, right on the dot! Wanted to make that holiday actually mean something to myself, more than "the day before chocolate prices are chopped in half," Haha! But we've been together about a year or two now—

Oh, stop trying to shove me out the way! I want to talk to my sister...!! YOU can talk about YOUR husband later! ...Augh.

Anyway, don't mind him! He's insufferable ✨️

Where were we? Oh, right! My husband ❤️💕 Unfortunately, he's not very comfortable with being name-dropped, so I won't be doing that. But with enough clues in these "letters," I'm sure you can figure it out on your own~ (You are my sister, after all! Sharp as a whip!) And, to answer your queries, I'm doing grand! I'm all ecstatic now that I've gotten to meet you: my new favorite thing today!

Yes, you ❤️

I absolutely gush over meeting new people and to think: Getting to say a sweet hello to my very own sibling again is a treat I can't pass up! Honestly, I'd sweep you into a hug if I didn't know that form of affection might upset you, so instead?

A drink! Just for you. ❤️

I hope it fills you to the brim with warmth and good tidings,

— Lyney

Oh, I know we should be cleaning right now, but she's my sister! ...No, I don't care if—

Augh, fine~

🙄😮‍💨😌
