You heard him echo throughout the ship, humming under his breath; a simplistic rhythm escaping past his lips, days, weeks after the fact.

“…They can fix me proper with a bit of luck.”

---

He had gotten a vasectomy, years before you met.

That was fine with you. Plenty of people got them, for various reasons; health, or lack of interest. Convenience. At that point in both of your lives, having—and, not to mention, potentially raising—a child wouldn’t be the smartest decision that either of you could make. And besides—ultimately, it was his body, in the end. It was his choice. And that was fine with you.

What got to you, however, was the way he worded it when you had asked him about it.

“Oh, yeah,” he drew out, in that casual, uninvested way he got, sometimes. “I had gotten it done years ago—kind of forgot about it, actually.” He avoided your eyes, in a way that made you think he hadn’t forgotten. Not after a decision like that. “I had to get it done,” he said, with his lips pursed. But the side closest to you curved upwards when he turned away. “I couldn’t—you know.”

You didn’t. And he wouldn’t elaborate.

“I would have gotten it done, anyways,” he shrugged, noncommittal. After a beat, after you sat there and began to process his words—“And then,” he gestured. “My eye.”

You didn’t know why he brought it up—it was fake, you knew. He’s told you. He lost it in an accident, years ago, and had it replaced. It was something that he never really brought up, and you didn’t want to pry, not after what must have been such a traumatic experience; but now, as he left you sitting with more questions, you couldn’t help but wonder: how was a vasectomy and an artificial eye related? You felt like you were missing something.

Something important, perhaps.

He made a noise, one you couldn’t quite decipher. And then—“Protection! It’s all about protection.” He wagged a finger, like he did when he was quoting Jet; but this time, the voice he used wasn’t his impression of the man at all. It sounded different. Distinct. Older. Slower.

Spike shrugged, again, and looked at you. But he evaded your eyes once more, something, somewhere, drawing his gaze. “I would have gotten it done, anyways,” he repeated, quieter, and scratched at his cheek. His third shrug lingered, leaving his lips lowering, his gaze far and off. “You know.”

And you wondered, then, if he would ever look at you again.

Smutober day 27: Faye Valentine x Male!reader - Bounty

You met her at the bar, she said her name was Rebecca which you knew was surely fake but you didn't care, she was beautiful and she was naked in your bed.

You had already made a mess of your apartment, clothes shed across the floor, a lamp pushed over and broken dishware knocked off the table where you each had your first orgasms of the night.

Now she was on top of you, riding you while she chanted obscenities under her breath.

She didn't want to cum again too quickly so she raises her hips letting your cock fall out of her, rubbing her dripping pussy along your shaft.

“Fuck, don't have too many girls like you around here,” you say, reaching up grope her breasts.

“Honey you've never met a girl like me,” she smirks, inserting your soaked cock back inside her.

She moves slow and deliberately, her clit still sensitive from when you ravished it as you ate her out on your kitchen table and trying not to stimulate it too much yet.

Her tits fit perfectly in your hands, her nipples hard against your palms as she bounces.

“Oh shit I think I'm gonna cum,” you grunt.

“Not yet big boy, I have to cum first,” she demands.

You hold onto ‘Rebecca's’ waist, keeping her steady as you start thrusting upwards into her.

“That feel good beautiful?” You smirk.

“So good,” she moans, throwing her head back as you hit deep inside her.

“I can't wait much longer are you gonna cum?” You ask so close to the edge and it doesn't help that now her tits are bouncing like crazy.

“I'm almost there,” she says, shutting her eyes and enjoying the feel of you fucking her pussy.

About a minute later she falls forward, placing her hands on your chest to keep her upright as her whole body shakes and twists in pleasure.

“Oh fuck, oh fuck,” she cries, as her second orgasm hits her so much harder than the first.

“Now can I cum?” You ask, the sounds she was making driving you crazy.

She can't speak words so she just nods her head giving you the go ahead to cum and it feels so good when you do.

You had known her for a few hours but you swear you were falling in love with her.

When you both come back to reality she shuffles back, letting your softening cock free from her grasp as it hits your stomach.

“Thanks handsome, you were a good fuck,” she smiles at you, “but you know what's gonna be even better?”

“What's that?” You smirk as she takes your hands and puts them above your head, thinking you were about to go for a round three.

“The bounty I'm gonna get when I turn you in,” she says, slapping a pair of handcuffs on you.

“What the hell,” you say tugging on the cuffs but you're stuck to the damn railing of your bed, “I thought we really had something.”

“Sorry sweetie, you're hot and all but a bounty is a bounty, now be a good boy and make this easy for me.”

“At least tell me your real name,” you huff as she gets off of you and looks for her clothes.

“It's Faye,” she replies.

“You're really gonna arrest me after I fucked you like that Faye?”

“Call me when you get out of prison and maybe I'll let you fuck me like that again,” she winks at you.

♰ head over heels ༻ JET BLACK.*ೃ˚

summary a short little drabble while i try to get a grasp of his character 🫠. wordcount 0,4k.

Jet grumbles, lighting a cigarette while he leans against the wall of the Bebop's loading dock. you grin, almost out of breath-like as you glide through the loading dock towards him. " you're on your own with the damages to your craft. " he grunts, exhaling a long puff of smoke.

you near him, kicking a foot against the metal floor to float upside down in front of him. " baby, don't be mean like that. i turned out alright, didn't i? " your hair swirling below you as you float.

Jet sighs, shaking his head. " you never listen. "

you giggle plucking his cigarette from between his lips. " i listen, i just like doing this my way. " you take a drag from the cigarette, exhaling across his face. " but i always find my way back to you, don't i? " you press a tender kiss to his lips, his nose bumping against your chin.

he closes his eyes, inhaling deeply. you pull away from the kiss, taking another drag from his cigarette before placing it between his lips again. your thumb swipes across his cheek before you push against the ceiling, the motion sending you swirling back up right.

you kick off towards the hatch into the main living space, stretching your arms behind your head. " how have Ed and Ein been while i was gone? " you yawn, calling out behind you.

Jet sighs, taking the last drag from the cigarette before he smothers it against the palm of his metal hand. his heart briefly lightens as he hears the happy shouts from Edward and the excited barks from Ein. the positive sounds soon followed by Spike's hungover shouts for everyone to quiet down.

he knows he'll end up getting your ship fixed up and he knows he'll pay for it. he never knows why he ends up telling you off and that he won't do it — when he knows damn well the moment you waltz back onto the Bebop with that smile on your lips, that he'll forgive you for almost anything. just as long as you come back into his arms once more and kiss his doubts and worries away.

cowboy bebop x trigun crossover pls :3

Well anon, you didn't specify how the crossover needed to be so I indulged a little.

Thanks for the request! :>

[jetspikepub]

A very important question:

[kittykatninja321]

The state of 2D animation in America annoys me so bad can you imagine if 2D animation was allowed to exist outside of comedies and children’s cartoons here. The stories we could be telling. We could’ve had our own Akira by now but yall wanna keep PLAYING

[amethystsoda]

Thinking about crossovers tonight…

[trezelue]

◈On Board Bebop!◈

First post of something to calm my fanfic nerves. Or yours. Well, here goes:

🎇🐴🎇

◈ You're the newest member of the infamous Bebop! *hides an empty food can with the foot* Welcome!

◈ You've got great conditions to stay: the team's healer, an extra hand who won't give Jet any trouble, an extra person for Faye to steal- I MEAN, befriend... and another soul to put up with Spike's grumpiness. How great for him! Fresh meat;

◈ Now, what you didn't expect (and neither did he) was that he would fall in love with you after some observation. Don't get him wrong, there are days and days in the life of a space cowboy, and he is almost always bored to death. And you turned out to be a sensible enough person to always go back and forth in this big old junk cleaning, organizing and going out to buy groceries for the crew, get some sun or have fun by yourself. Your own hectic dynamics, your interests and habits gradually caught his attention; you are not the type to lie on the couch all the time. You save everyone from imminent starvation in the middle of space. You never gamble (although you are a bit of a consumer, but hey, who isn't??). You always help out in everything. How sweet you are!

◈ Look, Spike is reading "Cowboy Handbook #101: Isn't there anything in here that tells you what to do with this person???" ! *Spike looks at the 4th wall, confused*

◈ Let's get to the point: he's fallen in love and he won't admit it. But yeah, he'll do something to show it. Enough is enough, he thought! (someone help this man, please-)

◈ Given the previous events (I hate you, Julia), he's not the best to come right out and tell you everything he feels for you. He has a heart, though, so what's he going to do to say "I love you" without having to actually say it?

◈Had a long, busy day bounty hunting? "Mysteriously" there's a freshly prepared hot tub waiting for you as you head to the bedroom to get your clothes;

◈ Food is scarce again? (no surprises) If you haven't figured this out yet so you can help with your savings, he'll fight anyone to leave you something (he literally got into a shootout with Faye over the last Cup Noodles, I swear-);

◈ Your ship broke down and Jet isn't here to help? Put away your wallet, Spike-Spiegel-Fix-It-All will solve the problem with talent! (Jet later had to intervene 'cause Spike got lost in the instruction manual. But at least he helped a lot);

◈ Going to the market? To a fair? To the pharmacy? Out on the Bebop airstrip? Taking a quick trip to Alba City? To a nightclub? On a bounty hunt? He'll offer to go with you, always making the excuse that "I have nothing better to do" or "I needed to do something there too, can you believe that?" or "What if you need extra hands?". Clearly he'll do this sometimes yes and sometimes no, so as not to look like a damn stalker (in public??);

◈ Speaking of stalking, as I mentioned before, he's a very observant man. He'll take note of the things you like and will occasionally (when he's not more broke than he already is) gift you with your favorite food, a piece of clothing you regretted not having the money to buy before, a book you waited months for to be released, anything. Obviously, giving some excuse as to why he did it;

◈ As for your hobbies, he'll try to learn something about them to start a conversation out of nowhere. He might find some of them boring as hell, but if it makes you pay attention to him, then it'll be worth it. Maybe he'll even dedicate a day to doing one of these things with you;

◈ If you need extra ammunition, support in a firefight, a shield in combat, he'll be there to make sure you get home in one piece (even if that means sitting bandaged from head to toe on the couch for a few days and complaining about the pain);

◈ If you're injured, he'll play nurse (and mask his concern with a few scoldings that you'll retaliate because he's the one who gets injured the most on the team. Anyway, the hypocrisy-);

◈ Don't like cigarettes? Okay, you're really in hell with a bunch of smokers, what bad luck. But he'll realize that too and put out his cigarette as soon as you enter any place he's in (Jet didn't even have to open his mouth to ask, but he definitely did open it in surprise when he saw how quickly Spike put out his newly lit cigarette without any remorse);

◈ If you smoke too, he'll silently share some before you even go through your pockets;

◈ I'm getting very long with this list, so let's look at a behavioral analysis of Mr. Spiegel: grumpy, dull, slightly friendly (emphasis on "slightly"), cool by nature;

◈ "Oh, hi Spike-"

◈ Cut to him getting nervous and then burning his finger when he tries to put out his cigarette too quickly. Or silently sitting down on the couch and giving you space to sit while he tries to shake off the bad mood of the day. Or waving cheerfully at you if his day went better than expected and then going to tell you a (bad) joke he thought of while hunting. Have you guys seen "Split"?

◈ And the funniest thing about this whole dynamic is that you'll never understand why he's like this with you. Questionable? Certainly. Did Jet get it first? Obviously. Will Ed and Ein look at you curiously? Yup. Will Faye make insinuations?

◈ "You know what, newbie? You should learn how to ride your horse."

◈ You're like "what horse?", Ed's like "HORSEY, WHOOP WHOOP", Jet covered Ed's ears and Spike locked himself in the fridge since he's now a tomato. Special guest appearance by Ein barking because he's hungry.

And that's all for today, little horses! Little toucans! Little ferrets!-.........what are you, anyway? 🐴

[lasalebete]

if i had a nickel every time I went in watching an anime with a whimsical and silly sounding name which actually made me cry and impacted my life as a person I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.

In Comfort; Let Me Rest My Eyes Closed

character: spike spiegel

reader: gender neutral

content warnings: angst

notes: also on ao3. 500+ word count. angst/comfort. some fluff.

Take a shower with him. Wash his back. Take the bottle of shampoo from his hands and apply them to yours; run your fingers through his hair and gently scratch at his scalp. Watch as he closes his eyes. Watch how the stress leaves his body in waves and his muscles relax. He’ll lean into your touch, unconsciously, as a little smile spreads across his lips; content with the perfect combination of your hands on him and the warm water raining down around him.

Take the shower head and wash the suds away. Let the water dance around him, kiss his forehead and tell him you love him, you love him, you love him so. Watch how he ducks his head and scratch at his cheek. He’ll lower his voice—as if there was anyone around to hear. Almost drowned out by the shower, he’d mumble, “I love you, too.”

It’ll be quiet, and private, and wrapped up in an uncharacteristic timorous display, but it’d be true. Bird wings fluttering like the beat of his heart, he loves you. Everything you do for him, mean to him, do to him.

Regardless, despite everything, it repeated like a mantra in the back of his mind: he doesn’t deserve you. This simple kindness, your undivided attention, it was all too much. Almost. No, deep inside, he’s beyond happy you chose him. Out of everyone in the solar system, anyone at all, you were there kissing praises against his skin and devotion into his marrow.

He doesn’t think he deserves you. Stubborn to a fault, he denies himself the good things in life; simple or grandiose, the sky on the horizon line. Lost and pathetic stray he was, straight out of the gutters, he doesn’t think he deserves you. Built from nothing but blood and grime, he tells himself—he’s destined to fall, and fall, and fall; clipped wings, down to the lowest layer of the wastes.

And fell he did. His heart beating through his chest, he looked at you. You, who cupped his face so softly, feather-light, he thought he could break. And he was. Cracking at the seams, fat tears welled up in his eyes, mixing with the shower as they rolled down his cheeks; he cried.

He cried and you held him. He cried and you didn’t think any less of him. Falling to his knees in the tub, you went down with him—arms surrounding him with his face tucked into the crook of your neck. There was no one around to see, no one but you to witness this moment of rare vulnerability, but you didn’t want to take any chances.

Let him know he’s safe with you. Let him take his time. He loves you, and he loves you, and he loves you so. He deserves nice things. Happiness, and love, and companionship. You. Tell him this but understand, more than anything, that he needs time. Let him know you’ll always be there. Understand why he holds you ever closer at this. Swimming in his cycle, hold him tight; tight enough to let him know that he’s falling in the opposite direction—towards the sky, that horizon that pulled itself nearer by the day.

Reach for him. He’s already roosted a nest inside your heart. Reach for him. When dawn breaks, you’ll see him reaching back for you.

SPACE.COWBOY (my imagined ITZY comeback)

I’ve made a couple posts about JYP’s shitty management of ITZY, so I decided to do a little thought experiment in what direction I would take ITZY’s discography and aesthetics.

I decided to give them a full album because it’s 2023 and no one should be releasing mini albums this late in their career (this goes for everyone, not just itzy). The album, which I have entitled ‘SPACE.COWBOY’, has 10 tracks, including 1 English pre-release single, 1 Korean title track, two promoted b-sides, and six more b-sides.

For the concept, I decided to draw inspiration from the aesthetics of ‘Cowboy Bebop’ which I referenced in the album name. I really wanted a space aesthetic for ITZY, but I didn’t want it to be just aespa part 2, so I decided a 90s space Faye Valentine aesthetic was the move. Also, ginger Yeji, pink hair Chaeryeong, blonde Yuna, black hair Ryujin and Lia is a must :)

Anyway, into the tracklist!!!

(1) LOG-IN [Fifty Fifty]

When I first heard this song a couple years back, I was struck by how ITZY it sounded. I love it as an album opener, and I think ITZY would body a choreography to it.

(2) YEPPI YEPPI [aespa] (TITLE TRACK)

Same goes for this song, I think it sounds SO ITZY, it’s very evocative of their Dalla Dalla - Icy era, which is exactly the sound I want to hear from them again. This song is so timeless, so fun, and such a perfect ITZY title track.

(3) 3.14159 [Lexie Liu] (English Pre-Release)

I fucking love Lexie Liu, and this song is one of my favourites from her. It’s very whimsical, very psychedelic, and very high energy, which is exactly what ITZY does best. This song has the creativity their last few singles have been lacking. I think Yuna especially would OWN this track.

(4) YALLA [WJSN] (Promoted B-Side)

WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS SONG SOONER?! I imagine Chaeryeong being the centre for this song, she has the perfect energy for it. I can definitely see this song going viral on K-Pop TikTok, I love it as a promoted B-Side.

(5) Cast Pearls Before Swine [Purple Kiss]

This is quintessential ITZY. I can see Lia performing this song so clearly, and I think it thematically references their debut self love concept just the right amount. I just really love this song ok, go stream it.

(6) MAGICIAN [Lexie Liu] (Promoted B-Side)

Can you tell I love Lexie Liu yet? This one has a chorus along similar lines to YALLA, and it's so addictive. This is another Yuna type song for me, but I also think Ryujin would be such a stand out on this. I don’t see it being in Mandarin for ITZY, but the hook is mostly onomatopoeia so I don’t think a language change would ruin it at all.

(7) The Great Mermaid [LE SSERAFIM]

I admit, I didn’t see the vision for this song when it first came out, but OH MY GOD do I get it now. I can definitely see this one for ITZY, especially that killer post chorus.

(8) YUCK [Charli XCX]

Charli XCX and ITZY are such a good mix, I couldn’t help giving them one of her most underrated pop anthems. This one has Ryujin written all over it

(9) LUCID [Rina Sawayama] (Promoted B-Side)

Did you really think I wasn’t going to include a Rina song? And this one especially is fucking amazing. Realistically I know the lyrics would be different for a K-Pop release, but just the UK dance-pop vibes alone are so fun. Somi did it with Fast-Forward, and as a Brit it's so funny to see idols release stuff that wouldn’t be out of place on the radio here. Yeji would eat this song up, but IMAGINE THE CHOREOGRAPHY.

(10) LOG-OUT [4s4ki]

Other than the obvious nice parallels with the album intro title, I think this song is such a fun album closer for ITZY. I hate that groups like ITZY consistently release ballads as their album closer, like they have no business singing in a bpm that slow. Obviously I don’t think they would sing in Japanese, but the pure chaos of this track would be such a fun experiment for them. (This one was for u @shyreol)

@a-moth-to-the-light im so interested to see ur thoughts on my made up album, and for ur one if u end up doing it :)

Headcanons for R dating Faye Valentine, but he's/they're nothing like what Spike would expect Faye's SO/an SO of Faye's to be like.

Faye valentine x GN!reader

● it had been a year since Faye has been home

● she went on her journey to find out more about her past and you were there waiting for her when she found what she was looking for

● now she had joined Spike and Jet and was close to home, telling them she had a “friend” she needed to see

● she intended on coming alone but the boys insisted on meeting this so called friend

● you get a knock on the door and see Faye standing on the other side

● you pick her up and spin her around, kissing her sweetly

● “friend huh?” Jet whispers to Spike

● “why don't you greet me like that friend?” Spike snickers

● you are nothing like Spike and Jet expected in a partner for Faye

● they imagined her to be into the leather jacket wearing outlaw biker type

● you however seemed to be completely normal

● a normal house

● a normal job

● and a normal relationship with Faye

● you make them dinner, Faye telling you about everything she's found out while she's been gone

● with Spike and Jet trying to get embarrassing information about Faye out of you

● she tries so hard to brush it off when you joke about how she cried during a sad movie on your first date

● Jet laughing “didn't know you were such a softie Faye”

● Faye rolling her eyes “don't start with me tough guy, or do I need to remind you how worried you were about Ein last month when you thought he was sick”

● after dinner the guys return to the ship to give you and Faye some time to catch up alone

● you put an old record on and grab Faye to start dancing you

● she has the biggest smile on her face and is so happy to be with you again

● phone calls once or twice a week just weren't enough

● you were the only person she ever let see this softer side of her

● “so I'm guessing this isn't your grand homecoming?”

● “not yet love, I still have some more things I need to do but soon I'll be coming home for good” she says before kissing you deeply and taking you upstairs to the bedroom
