#crazy wild and cannot blame him

[shehungthemoon]

I thought that man looked "hungry" from that first glance while he was pressed all up like a noir girl against the firetruck 😭

“I’m gonna study you tip to tail” sir, you sound like you want Bobby to fuck you (valid)

//SPOILERS// For today's E.A.P.S episode

Mmmmm, hahaha- People are partly right when they say Charlie isn't to blame

The adults (minus Eclipse) are to blame.

HENRY is to blame.

Everyone saw how Charlie was behaving and did jackshit. (Again, excluding Eclipse)

But more specifically, Henry didn't correct his own daughter's behavior. Children are who you mold them into (typically) so her having no regard for personal boundaries or an understanding of consent is heavily reflective of what kind of parent Henry is.

Eclipse took care of her while Henry was out of the picture, which was nice but Charlie is no longer his responsibility outside of helping her with her powers, he shouldn't have had to give her so many warnings (not turning him into a baby for example, he did tell her not to do that), Henry should've stepped in before it got to this point.

Charlie however is not an idiot or an innocent child, she is a preteen, 11 is far too old to be acting like this, even without Henry actively teaching her boundaries she should've been able to learn them by interacting with other children or people generally.

Eclipse shouldn't have told her that the best thing she did was die, that was absolutely not okay, but him saying that doesn't suddenly make him part of the problem, it's a blip in contrast to how he's been treated before.

It's still bad regardless, and I have seen some people say it was probably the virus-

Oh right, that, the world-ending catastrophe that Eclipse is responsible for keeping at bay and/or getting rid of.

Charlie's powers are important but not as important as THE END OF THE WORLD, yes a lack of attention can cause children to act out, especially when it's someone who previously spent a lot of time with them, but hitting him in the face with a... What was it? A hammer? Whatever it was, she still hit him, turning him into a baby and making fun of him? Bothering him non-stop during a high stress situation? Like c'mon, wtf-

Apart from Henry, there are so many people who could be teaching her otherwise, who should be explaining to her why what she is doing isn't okay, but, once again, she is also too old to be doing this shit.

And that "apology" was baffling, girly pop, respectfully... No-

I get she was just doing what Ruin asked (distraction 💃🪩) however she could've done literally anything else.

Charlie may be a child but she still needs to take accountability (as does Henry for lacking in his parenting)

And virus or not, Eclipse should apologize for saying smth like that, cause that was wild 😭

NOT ONLY THAT Charlie needs to redo that apology and be given an appropriate punishment (grounding, taking of a privilege, extra chores JUST SMTH-)

Eclipse has his own responsibilities, his children, the virus, himself- so on, he can't always be dealing with Charlie nor should he have too when she has a present parent.

OMG AND ROXANNE oh you- WHY I OUGHTA- Girl, you cannot be there enforcing said behavior, cause that's not okay either.

She has seen Eclipse in his darkest moment and still treated him like that.

Fucking crazy, some friend 💀

Anyway now that I've got that off my chest... Maybe I'll go draw? Idk still not feeling great... Mkay baaiiiiiii

OH and for anyone confused on the episodes I'm talking about (y'know, for future when this post is no longer relevant-), the one where Eclipse gets hit is "Charlie Becomes A DENTIST!" The one where he turns into a baby is "ECLIPSE BECOMES A MISERABLE BABY!" And the one where shit really hits the fan is "ECLIPSE HATES CHARLIE!!!"

DRAWTOBER #5 - two bowls shatters loneliness and melancholy by @spinecorset

Lan Xichen is wearing sea-dark robes. Settled at his guqin across from Jin Guangyao, bathed in light that makes the silver-threaded clouds and eddies that swirl delicately and yet with surety across the understated fabric spark and glimmer, eyes half-mast as his slender fingers pick across the strings, the length of his neck accentuated by how his hair has slipped from his shoulders and spilt down the stretch of his spine, he looks like something out of a painting, or perhaps one of Jin Guangyao’s carefully hidden fantasies. He pays attention to the notes, carefully reproduces them, but his mind is—elsewhere. He cannot be blamed—if asked, he would merely say he was admiring his sworn brother’s famed beauty, and this is true, but only inasmuch as an apple is part of an orchard. Instead, his mind—the one weapon he has honed since his youth, what has helped him survive through the furious whirl of public rumour mills, of Wen Ruohan’s inner court, of the pit of vipers he now faces among the wider gentry as the bastard Jin—spins, like a top let loose, string pulled too violently, gone wild and swaying sharply, held upright only by the force of its movement. - AKA Lan Xichen seduces Jin Guangyao with fashion: the fic.

this is such a hilarious execution of an attempt to justify LXC's Fuck Me Robes and it's thoroughly entertaining reading poor JGY do his best not to dissolve into a horny mess whilst the two of them play Cleansing for NMJ. I love any fic where LXC gets to be a little bit schemey, a little bit cheeky, and be sexy on purpose, and this one is a very fun read through LXC's sartorial seduction attempts! it could perhaps be renamed "5 times Lan Xichen drove Jin Guangyao slightly crazy by how sexy he is + 1 time Jin Guangyao (very smugly) returned the favour" 😌

Tags: Dad!Leon(Older), Leon is the girl's father; fluff.

Warning: There are none.

He was really afraid of becoming a father. It's not so much the news of your pregnancy that scares him, but the likelihood that an innocent child may be harmed. His child. Leon is paranoid to worry about you and the baby. He'll probably get drunk before he puts that thought in his head. Don't get him wrong, he wants a family, he had plans after completing the police academy to get married in a few years and have two children, he still wants a family, but his fear devours this desire entirely because he knows that if something happens to the child and you one day, he just won't survive it.

It takes two to tango so I don't think he'll start getting angry and blaming you for everything. Leon just needs a little time, but when this happens and he thinks it over, he will want to transport you to some place that he thinks is safe.

You might have to get into a long debate with him, but this guy doesn't want anything like the Winters family to happen to his family. If someone kidnaps his child, he will simply go wild.

Due to the fact that he is a government agent, all information about you is classified. Also, if a bioterrorist attack suddenly occurs, you will be quickly evacuated along with your child. At least that's what Leon wants to believe.

The house will be nice and simple (perhaps like the Baker's house but without additional extensions) I think Leon likes something classic and cozy rather than modern and abstract. It is unlikely that you will be against it, especially since he does not skimp on quality items and excellent appliances.

Your child will definitely have a great room at all stages of growing up. But when the baby is born, Leon will still insist that the baby girl sleep next to him and with you for the first time. He would have put her in the middle of the bed, but since it was not safe, he agreed to just put the crib on his side. He's just calmer that way.

“Look, I found a catalog with a whole selection of cribs. There are different options, classic, round, even some very strange ones, what position should the child lie in?”

You will laugh, but in the end you will find the right option. Not too expensive, but first you need to explain to Leon that the baby in the first months of life will definitely not be whimsical in which bed he sleeps on. Leon, of course, knows this, as well as the fact that many of the toys that he has already ordered will not be needed by his daughter until at least six months, but he cannot do anything about it.

Choosing a name is a whole challenge. You two will have a debate about this when you find out the gender of the baby. Leon will want a simple name and will roll his eyes when you read him rare names from your notebook.

"Laura, Mary, Ashley, Sarah, Jessica, Kate? These names are for weaklings! Need something crazy and original, right?"

It will really be difficult, but he will win and his daughter will have a normal name.

When his baby is born and Leon holds her for the first time… you will see tears running down his cheeks. He would have kissed this pink, swaddled bundle of joy, but he just sat there, held her in his arms and cried from the fact that he was now the father of a little girl.

This girl will be lucky as hell. Her father would literally give her the whole world at her whim so you're a little worried that she might grow up spoiled. However, while she is a baby, your only problem is the fact that your daughter loves to be held in her arms because Leon constantly carries her around the house, showing her things and telling her some stories.

Leon will wake up at the first cry and immediately try to calm her down. Change a diaper? hungry? If you are not breastfeeding, Leon will easily prepare the formula and feed her. Sometimes you think that he is a better mother than you.

The best toys, a special children's area when your daughter begins to explore the world around her, beautiful and comfortable onesies. Your daughter will definitely have a bodysuit with the inscription "daddy's princess"

A stern special agent in the White House and on missions, Leon becomes an affectionate bear at home.

He is a truly caring dad. Watching cartoons with her, coloring coloring books, playing games when she grows up. This child is the only person who can attack him from behind and Leon’s reflexes simply won’t work.

Often he needs your help and advice on what to do best. He will especially need your help when her first childhood love and first broken heart happen. Because he can get really angry at anyone who causes his baby any pain. He really doesn’t understand how it’s possible not to love her, but more on that later.

At the age of 3-6 years, Leon can only be seriously shocked by some accidental injury or illness. Be serious but he will panic even if it is a common cold. You will have to work hard so that he doesn’t drop all his business and take your daughter straight to the doctors for all the examinations. Of course, you will dissuade him, but he will repeatedly check the baby while she is in bed. He will kiss her on the forehead and lie with her for a while so that she does not worry (even if she was initially calm). It would also literally break his heart if Leon heard you sneeze.

She will definitely be daddy's princess. She almost literally walks on his head, does her dad's hair with pink bobby pins and combs his bangs, and paints his nails with polish. Leon allows her to do almost everything to him. But of course he won't come to work with pink nail polish.

Support any hobby. It could be dancing, drawing or playing football. The main thing is that she likes it herself.

What Leon definitely won’t allow is to look into his safe where he stores weapons and ammunition. The password will be complex and only he will know it. This is one of the few things that Leon forbids his child.

He, of course, loves his baby and is ready to do anything for her, but… he won’t have a second child. Every time he returns home, a terrible thought comes to his mind: “What if something terrible happens to my family.” He often has a nightmare in which you and your daughter have turned into zombies, so he will need a drink.

I think one day, when your daughter woke up, she left her room and went down to the first floor, holding in her hands the plush bunny with whom she usually sleeps. She saw her father sitting at the table with a bottle of whiskey as he simply looked thoughtfully into his glass.

Leon, of course, immediately noticed her and looked at her. God, tears will immediately flow from his eyes when he stretches out his hands to her and your daughter runs to him. His arms wrap her tightly in his arms and pull her onto his lap. You will see this picture and the perplexed look of children's blue eyes turned to you when your husband is just sitting at the table, holding his beloved child and crying because he is fucking AFRAID!

You understand why Leon behaves this way. He finds it difficult to get rid of these thoughts because of his job. He survived Raccoon City, Tall Oaks, saved the president's daughter in Spain from parasite-infected fanatics, and a whole bunch of other crap that you probably don't even know about. He has every reason to be afraid and sometimes you regret that you did this to him. Although you know that Leon loves your daughter with him, the very thought that something like this will happen to her simply destroys him to the core.

Your little girl wipes the tears from his cheeks and kisses her daddy on the cheek, telling him that he doesn’t need to cry. Leon simply presses her too tightly, feeling her scent. If he could put an end to zombies and their creators once and for all…

Leon will take her and you back to the bedroom. Next to the two of you, he will be able to sleep a little peacefully, but you know that his sleep is never sound.

You try to talk to him but he pushes you away. He really loves you, but he hates it when people mess with his brain. Of course, whiskey is a bad medicine and Leon himself does not want his daughter to find out that her dad sometimes has the weakness to drink, thereby ignoring his problems, but still… no matter how hard he tries to be perfect, he is not perfect.

When your daughter goes to school, Leon will rejoice at any of her successes. She will also help with homework as much as needed. He will explain everything in detail, clearly and without shouting (sorry, this is a sore subject for me).

He will not always be able to attend school events, unlike you, but if possible he will not miss them. However, he asks you to record everything on camera.

Oh yes, on his desk at home there is a framed family photo of the three of you in the park, joyful and carefree.

So, adolescence is…complicated. Leon understands that his baby will begin to grow up and has no problem organizing small changes in her room. And he also understands that hormones are coming into play. Sometimes screams and anger accompanied by loud slamming of the door are simply inevitable.

That's the time when he can really start to get angry and swear in response, so you realize you need to cool his temperament… The truth is that you really have to punish your daughter when she crosses all boundaries.

Nevertheless, if something suddenly happens, she will always run to Leon, knowing that he will protect her. He may be angry, but as mentioned above, he will do everything possible so that nothing happens to his family.

Partying with friends at night? Absolutely not! Never! Have pity on the old man's heart. Leon will find a bunch of reasons not to let her go anywhere at night. After all, there will be alcohol, shitty guys who can offend her or get her drunk and take advantage of this by ruining her life. Perhaps Leon will exaggerate, but until the age of 16 he will definitely be adamant about this. Sometimes being the daughter of a government agent just isn't possible.

And then, before letting her go to the party, he will sit her down on the sofa and give her a long lecture, telling her to always watch her drink, drink only what she pours for herself or is poured in front of her. If are distracted, do not drink under any circumstances, but take another glass! If someone pesters her, he will show several self-defense techniques and immediately tell to call him. Well, the cherry on the cake - he still won’t allow her to stay there all night. He also won’t bother with calls, but she will need to respond to all his SMS, if not… he will come right away.

Even you yourself will get tired of this overprotection, realizing that Leon often goes too far.

But you ask your daughter to be more lenient towards her father, because he is simply worried about her life. However, when you are young and have not seen what Leon saw, it is difficult to understand his actions and behavior.

There will be conflicts and there will be a lot of them.

The only thing that can make your daughter understand the actions of her father is if someone kidnaps her and confronts her with the infected, forcing her father to go to another wilderness inhabited by the infected. (bad version of events).

Leon will immediately go after her, promising you that he will return her safe and sound. He remembers how he saved Ashley, but she was already an adult girl and not a teenager who, at most, had seen horror films on TV.

Leon, like Barry or Ethan, is ready to kick the ass of any bastard who hurts his baby. In any case, he will do everything to save her.

I imagine this concept as a teenage girl hiding behind her father's back, holding on to his kurta or vest while he shoots enemies, sometimes throwing improvised objects like bottles or stones, stunning the opponents.

After returning home, she will hug you tightly and cry for the hundredth time, promising her father that she will no longer contradict him.

There is no need to say what condition Leon himself will be in after this personal rescue mission. All three of you will experience extreme stress after what happened.

In a good scenario, bypassing the kidnapping, peace between father and daughter would most likely have come much later, when the teenage years would have been long behind us. Probably this realization would have come to her when her naive view of the world ceased to be naive and she began to understand what her father had been struggling with for many years.

Oh yes, about first love. Leon would definitely be vigilant and keep a close eye on everything. He has a whole database and he will immediately run through all the boy’s data, having learned everything about him, and yet he doesn’t really like the idea that some dubious guy is hunting for his daughter.

If Leon realizes that this is an ordinary bastard who runs after every skirt… well, he will find a way to take him away from his treasure. If not and he's just a normal guy… he'll just watch and give a couple of warnings.

The first parting… Leon consoles as best he can, but he has no idea what to do. He himself got drunk and slept through his first day of work, but this option is definitely not suitable. That's why he needs your help again.

"Movies, books, maybe give her something? What can I do to stop her crying into her pillow?! I don't know what else to tell her!"

In the end, he will gain strength and give a good speech, comforting your daughter's broken heart. After all, life does not end with one boy who, in Leon’s opinion, only proved that he is not worthy of his daughter.

He's a good dad. Not ideal, but your daughter wouldn't want it any other way. Of course, she is sad that he may not be home for a long time and sometimes he is too suspicious, but he is her dad who will move the earth for her.

[tonycries]

i love your works so much, you write like its breathing and i can't stop reading and rereading all your fics. its seriously addictive and im not complaining even though my studies are. sigh.

please write more toji i know you just posted a toji fic BUT LIKE CAN YOU BLAME A GIRL FOR WANTING MORE TOJI LIKE IM SO FERAL FOR THAT MAN ITS CRAZY HES SO UTTERLY SCRUMPTIOUS I CANNOT BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THE WAY I FEEL SO FUCKING DOMESTIC FOR HIM LIKE UTTERALY FUCKING PUTTY. the spectrum ranges from wanting to pick out his clothes for the day to welcoming him home with none but his boxers on. id do this man's dishes and keep his fighting gear or whatever so clean, make him the best fucking meals of his life, heck even fund him and maybe guide him into betting on the right teams or whatever I DONT KNOW MAN, i think id bribe teams just so that he'd get the joy of winning (if he didn't listen to my betting suggestions). but i guess a part in me would also slap him in the face just to see what he'd do and also because he'd be fucking annoying if he didn't pay no heed to my suggestions. but i guess that's just what i'd do to hate fuck the guy tbh. id sew shit for him (i dont even know how to sew). i think i genuinely might be in love with this hooligan. he's got me so downbad tony, its wild. sigh.

THE BATMAN FIC. I THINK I SPIRITUALLY NEEDED IT. THE LADY K AND THE SICK MAN? I DESPERATELY WANTED IT BCS OHMYGOD FUCK YES I SEE HIM LIKE THAT, THE DAY I READ THE MANGA MY MIND COULDN'T STOP GOING TOJITOJITOJITOJI

Eheheh is this my sign to start working on another Toji fic hmmm 👀

[thatswhatsushesaid]

I've been watching/following your blog from a distance and like damn how do you do it? Like reading the stuff that goes down in the mdzs fandom is a chore. Seeing people constantly claim that they're morally superior to you just cause you like a villain sounds so exhausting, like to write pages upon pages upon pages about why you don't like a character and that anyone who likes said character is "stupid" seems like such a waste of time to me. Like you jgy (is that the correct acronym?) and jc fans are brave as hell. I swear fandoms used to be chill asf before and now you can't even claim to like A without someone saying B is better and you're morally/intellectually wrong for liking A.

My experience with fandom craziness was when someone wrote a 32 paged essay on why lunafreya & noctis (from ff xv) as a ship sucked balls and that it was abusive and like damn, imagine having that much time to waste, like I cannot wrap my head around that, it's so wild to me. I shall continue from afar might one day give mxtx a chance but hot dawg it ain't for me you guys are scary asf💀

truthfully anon, i am still here because 1) i have poorly managed adhd and 2) jin guangyao is who my dopamine-deficient brain latched onto back in 2022 when i first watched cql and then read the novel. like you’re extremely right that the fandom environment here is super hostile and unpleasant to people who like him and jiang cheng and xue yang, and i don’t blame anyone for deciding to give the books a pass because they can’t deal with this fandom! life is short and there are certainly better books out there with more relaxed fandoms to wade into.

all that said, i’ve made some really good friends in this fandom, which would be worth the experience all on its own. but i also think that jin guangyao is just a truly unique character who defies easy categorization into archetypes or tropes. so even if you decide to give the fandom a miss, i think it’s still worth picking up the books for him.

[beenbaanbuun]

i think i sent you a request sometime earlier and if you didn't want to answer it that's totally fine!! you can look past this one as well if that was the case!!

but i'm still thinking about mingi bringing you to his studio to keep him company while he works and then he gets distracted by your presence and just ends up eating you out and fucking you on the couch there 🫣

mingi just being obsessed with his partner and everything about them makes me go a little crazy

also hope your hangover isn't too bad! take care <3

ah! no you deffo did send it and i meant to answer but i just got sidetracked 😭😭 like it’s literally half written in my drafts but imma just go ahead and freehand it now bc this is way too good not to talk about…

like he definitely takes you to the studio with the intention of doing work and he definitely has to tell you to behave before he even starts working but like… how are you supposed to behave when your hot boyfriend is literally right there?? so he can hardly blame you when you start doing things to tease him.

like imagine you just start moaning a little, and when he turns to you with a cocked brow and a scowl on his face, you tell him the couch is uncomfy and the moans are because your back hurts. if you want to push it a little, you might even ask him if you can sit on his lap instead. and obviously because mingi can’t say no to you he just rolls his eyes and pats his legs.

but then when you’re sat with your ass against his half-hard crotch, you can’t help but tease him a little by rolling your hips. obviously he tries to ignore you and get on with whatever he’s doing, but you can feel his dick getting harder with every roll of your hips, and you can hear the little grunts he lets out every so often.

it doesn’t take much to push him over the edge, and when you do, he’s lifting you up and literally throwing you down onto the couch. like you don’t even have a second to think before his hands are tugging at your jeans and your panties, and his lips are attaching themselves to your clit.

and while he’s eating you out like you’re his last meal, he can’t help but literally moan into your pussy. it almost feels like he’s getting more pleasure out of this than you are, which should be impossible because he has your thighs shaking in seconds. like, you cannot tell me he doesn’t know what to do with his tongue because that man 100% does. he’ll have you cumming in record time, and then carry on for more.

and i’m a firm believer in the fact that he is insatiable when it comes to eating pussy. he’d be down there, slurping and moaning and just making the most vulgar sounds known to man forever if you’d let him. but obviously overstimulation is a thing, and eventually you have to push him away for a breather. but i can that guarantee that even when you’re literally on the verge of passing out, this man will find some way to complain about wanting more.

but when he realises just how tired you are, he realises maybe you’re right and maybe he can’t just carry on eating you out until he himself is satisfied. so instead, in the softest voice he can muster - as if he hasn’t just been ravaging your pussy like a wild animal - he asks if he can fuck you. he’s fumbling over his words and fiddling with his fingers and practically begging you to let him fuck you, all while your juices are spread over his mouth and chin.

and you say yes, because you’re not evil, and he just smiles at you. doesn’t even bother to take his sweats off, just pushes them down to let his dick spring free before railing you into the couch. i can guarantee he tries to start off soft but the man has zero self restraint and actually ends up fucking you so incredibly hard that you’re seeing stars.

but he’s still so kind and so mingi with it because he knows you’re overstimulated, but he still feels like he can’t just fuck you and not let you cum, so he asks you if you want to. the second he sees you nod your head, he starts to play with your clit, but it’s so gentle compared to his thrusts because he knows you won’t need much to cum this time around.

and he’s absolutely right because his finger is barely on you before you’re squeezing tightly around him and creaming over his dick. and seeing your face screw up at the same time is all he needs for his own hips to stutter to a standstill as he releases his load into you…

Junpei, are you sure you know what you’re doing? You've been working on this for the past 10 minutes.

Give me a second, alright? I’m not really good at setting up things like this.

Fuuka said she was planning to, but she got busy with something. She didn’t exactly specify with what, though…

Aghh… Of course she did…

Do you even know why Mitsuru wanted to set up this— blog thing anyway?

She wanted to see if we could get in touch with people across the world. Since we’re in the only country that’s dealing with this Shadow bullshit, she thought it’d be interesting.

I can’t say I blame her, though. We could meet so many new people! Ooh ooh! Maybe even some ladies!

I honestly don’t know what I expected… Typical Stupei, wanting to look at other women despite dating Chidori.

Heeyy! I resent that!

Besides! I asked her, and she didn’t seem to care if I find other women hot. Get off my case, Yuka-tan.

Fine. Just hurry it up then.

I’m trying, I’m trying! Just a few adjustments…

Aha! I’ve got it! Now we’re officially live!

Finally. Now we can get this over with…

Hello, everyone! I’m Yukari Takeba, and this is Stupei—

Junpei Iori!

Anywho! Welcome to our little blog! We’ve been requested to make this to communicate with people all around the world!

Idea is simple: Ask the two of us questions, and we’ll answer with the best of our ability!

The more questions that get asked, the more people will join us! So, get those questions ready, folks!

I wanted to do the intro… But whatever, I guess.

But you heard him, everyone! You know what to do. Ask us away, as our askbox is currently open!

This askblog is officially open! ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

Hello hello! I’m Bea over at @beavauna. I’ve created this blog to let fans of Persona ask questions to the beloved characters of this franchise! Yes, I’m aware this concept has been done before, but from my knowledge, the blog isn’t active, so I thought I’d fill in the void!

Before you decide to press through, there are rules that need to be followed.

The character’s personalities won’t exactly be picture perfect, and I realize that. I’ve recently beat Reload, and am now working on Episode: Aigis. Please be aware I may get some things wrong. I am sorry for that.

When asking the group, please make sure you specify if it’s for the main game of the DLC! If you don’t, I will assume you’re talking about the main game.

I am also rolling by many headcanons, like Makoto and Kotone being siblings. They’re alive currently UNLESS you specify it’s an Episode: Aigis ask, which incase you can’t ask them. As well as Shinjiro being alive. In the DLC, however— He’s currently out of the picture and won’t be available for asks. I will also be going for the canon romance routes, such as Yukari x Makoto. Will vary, as they’re dating main game, however he’s dead in the DLC.

You cannot force me to make decisions I don’t want to make. This is my blog, so therefore I make the decisions.

No 18+ material, such as NSFW, as well as no racism, bigotry, LGBTQphobia or anything of the sort. You will be blocked/banned from the blog if you break this, as I also headcanon some of the characters their own sexualities.

I will try to get every question! If I don’t, please let me know and I will try my best.

Your character that asks could be drawn! Keep in mind, said character doesn’t have to be a human! They can be a anthro cat, Pokemon, anything! Go crazy!

Every 10 or so questions, someone else will join the current characters! Once all of them are here, we shall have our first event!

Overall, this is a blog purely for fun where you can let your imagination run wild! Do not take it seriously, as it’s not affiliated with Atlus officially and meant to be really silly.

Have fun!

— Bea

[fmajorenthusiast]

after reading your response to the ask about the rhps characters' parents, i need to know if you have any other hcs about their childhoods or what they were all like as kids :33

OFCOFCOFCOFCCCCC :33

(I hope you like it!!! I'm not sure if you meant it to be in list format like this but either way I'm SO grateful!!! :33)

Frank: I know this one kinda came out in the last post, but I just cannot emphasize enough that he was an absolute nightmare of a child XD!!! He would SCREAM in public when he either didn't get his way with somebody and or if he broke a heel!!! Yeah, he went ABSOLUTELY crazy!!! He was definitely a charismatic child, but that was only when he was having a good time!!! He would go from being the teacher's pet to being the teacher's nightmare CHRONICALLY!!! It was absolutely wild!!! He was also the kind of kid who'd get into shit that he absolutely should NOT be getting into!!! Like, he definitely should not have been playing around with knives!!! But he did!!! He also definitely started wearing makeup before he was even five years old!!! He was REALLY good at it too!!! He'd also steal toys from other kids because "it's not stealing if I'm a prince!!!" He made a lot of other kids cry, but he also gave everybody in class a makeover and all the other kids went home with SERIOUS amounts of shockingly well done makeup on their faces!!! Frank was something else!!! He really was!!!

Brad: Brad was... an interesting individual!!! He brought a toad that he found on his school's window home on the bus one time!!! He also tried to pet a snapping turtle that he found, but thankfully his parents were able to grab him and stop him before he lost any fingers, but it was a close call for sure!!! He also definitely chewed on his pencils as a child!!! He didn't always break them with his chewing, but they all had obvious chew markings eventually!!! He also got bullied, but mainly in Elementary School and only very rarely because he's just too damn tall for bullies to be very tempted to go after him!!! Which really did turn out to be in his favor because he can't fight to save his life!!! He also had his volcano all but explode one time during science and chemicals got on MULTIPLE people, though he got it the worst!!! He was very curious about everything in the world, but he was also pretty bad at almost everything!!! But, he had the spirit!!! He was a really sweet kid to be around, he really was!!!

Janet: Janet would paint rocks ALL the time as a kid!!! She would paint them and stick little jewels on them!!! She had a collection in her room, and she'd get really upset if anybody ever referred to them as her "pet rocks" because they weren't "pets", they were decorations!!! Also she did NOT want to feel old!!! She wanted to be pretty and trendy, not that painting rocks was a "trend" per se, but she didn't want to look like she was doing something that her grandparents did when they were kids!!! She absolutely LOVED painting them, though!!! She also started doing makeup when she was 12 or 13, though she was of course MUCH more tame than Frank ever was!!! She also loved to paint her and her friends' nails!!! She was quite good at it and she still is!!! She also played pretend with her stuffed animals a lot and said that she wanted to be an animal balloon maker when she grew up!!! She didn't, but she still wants to learn the skill one day!!! And hey, she totally can and she totally will!!!

Riff Raff: You know how you'll watch stuff that says, "don't try this at home?" Riff Raff ABSOLUTELY tried it at home!!! He also destroyed the evidence and pretty much NEVER got caught!!! The few times that he did, he managed to successfully blame somebody else!!! He also pointed instead of talking a lot of the time and also he was TOTALLY that kid who everyone bullied, thinking that he was weak and defenseless, but then the minute that they tried physical violence against him he absolutely DECKED THEM!!! This happened a few times in a few different places!!! He was suspended sometimes times on zero tolerance policy spaces and then he also got a medal at one place and was told to lead an assembly for younger kids on how to fight back against bullies. It was the most awkward experience in the world and had he not been being emotionally and physically abused by a master who he couldn't fight back against if he valued his head, he might qualify that assembly as one of the worst experiences of his life!!! Riff Raff's childhood was definitely interesting!!! It really was!!!

Magenta: Magenta absolutely LOVED to get up to shit as a child!!! She would snoop on the adults, draw dicks on the walls, color on the walls, write curse words on the walls, and so much more!!! She didn't ever poke holes in anyone's tires, though she DEFINITELY fantasized about it!!! She also realized at a certain point that she could ABSOLUTELY get paid to rain chaos on whoever her clients wanted!!! Kids would start bringing money to school and she'd charge different prices for different things!!! Given that no two tasks were the same, she'd always meet with other kids prior!!! She'd charge less if you helped and she'd charge extra if it was particularly risky to her!!! She made quite a bit of money and to this day, she's still incredibly proud of it!!! She'd also collect dirt on literally EVERY single other kid in town and she ABSOLUTELY had all the material to blackmail whoever she desired if it ever came to that point!!! Thankfully it never did, but still!!! Magenta was a crazy and awesome kid, she really was!!!

Columbia: Columbia was ABSOLUTELY a unicorns and pegasus kid from the very minute she left the WOMB!!! She had LOTS of fantasy horse toys!!! She was also a little rebel from the get go as well, though!!! She's been cutting her hair since before her parents said she could get a haircut because she cut it herself!!! A rebel with her unicorns!!! She would tantrum in public too sometimes, but she wouldn't really ever be terrible about it!!! She was a HUGE carnival fan!!! She was absolutely obsessed with everything about carnivals!!! She loved playing the games, riding the really fast and exciting rides and rollercoasters, and she absolutely LOVED (and still loves for that matter!!) Unicorn pop lollipops!!! Her mouth watered EVERY single time!!! She'd also go absolutely FERAL for go-karts and lazer tag!!! In go-karts, she was in it to win it no matter who or what she hit!!! In lazer tag, ahe was just as into winning, and this time she DEFINITELY broke the "no running" rule regularly and COUNTLESS times!!! Columbia was a super fun and highly motivated kiddo!!! She really was!!!

Rocky: Rocky absolutely LOVES ducklings!!! Like, he love loves them!!! He is their number one fan!!! He has LOTS of stuffed animals, but he isn't as big of a fan of rubber ducks for some reason!!! He checks the pond for ducklings EVERY single day!!! Even in the winter!!! They've explained it to him millions of times, however, he'd rather hope to see those ducklings than know that they won't be there!!! So no one tell him!!! His other big thing is pumpkins!!! He absolutely LOVES going on hay rides to get them and then carving them!!! His favorite thing that he's ever carved (with help) is a smiling jack o lantern!!! It was really basic, but he loved it a whole lot!!! He has a really bad habit of carving with his hands, and even though he knows that he'll never be able to carve a picture like that, he just can't help it sometimes!!! His favorite food is corn muffins, though he doesn't get them very often on account of Frank demanding that he eat only super healthy foods, but Janet snuck him one when he didn't like his meal and he absolutely fell in love with corn muffins!!! Janet sneaks them to him all the time!!! Also, he watches sports but he's too young to be invested in either team so he just spends the whole game really excited and at the end he's thrilled no matter who wins!!! Rocky is absolutely ADORABLE!!! He really is!!!

Eddie: He was ABSOLUTELY the kind of kid who who, when recieving a school assignment with, "what do you want to he when you grow up?" would respond with "A Dinosaur!!! Specifically, a T-Rex. The T stands for Tyrannosaurus!!!" Eddie was also a bit of a nightmare of a child!!!! He threw fits in stores ALL the time and he would yell at and terrify children and adults alike!!! He went really crazy a lot of the time!!! He was SO angry and defiant that people suggested that he either become a commander or a lawyer!!! (Turns out nobody ever wanted to see him become a politician due to how vicious he was) and then when he announced that his chosen career path was rock star, everybody agreed that it was totally on brand!!! He also thought that if he tried really hard, he could in fact breathe fire, but that he was being kind by not!!! One day, he got a terrible fever and had to miss out on his school field trip to the amusement park and he was absolutely PISSED. Having a fever, his throat burned and he was about to make the world pay!!! When he realized the truth, he was pissed about two things!!! Eddie was a special and chaotic child!!! He really was!!!

Doctor Scott: Doctor Scott went from being the kid who made his science fair volcano absolutely EXPLODE to being the kid that won them the state championship!!! Many teachers said that he was going places, and he did!!! He was a big fan of the rubik's cube and he solved it while still a child!!! He also had a book of Guinness World Records that he thought was the coolest thing in the world!!! He also really loved to go to space camp over the summer where he'd learn all about the planets in the galaxy, but then he'd get really upset because he wanted to learn about exoplanets and shit!!! He gave it some time though and eventually they got there!!! Years later!!! But they got there!!! He really felt like he was overqualified in those first few years, though!!! He also REALLY loved to watch Tom and Jerry whilst eating chocolate chip cookies!!! It was an oddly specific favorite activity of his, but he totally had it!!! Doctor Scott was an intellectual kid, but a good and sweet one!!! He really was!!!

The Criminologist: The Criminologist always liked to dance under the spray of the vegetables getting washed in the grocery isle!!! He would think the lyrics of Singin In The Rain to himself, he wouldn't sing them, but he would think them!!! He would like... limbo over the vegetable isle so he could get in on that shower!!! It was his favorite thing to do!!! He also had a dream one time about the sky going green and lightning striking and then he just heard from the sky, "the snack that smiles back! Goldfish!" And three GINORMOUS goldfish crackers appeared and then they turned on his favorite movie which was the Adventures of Robin Hood!!! He woke up in a cold sweat!!! He also definitely read as much of the old newspapers used to cover the tables in art class as he could!!! It was his absolute favorite part!!! He went apeshit when he realized that a classmate's relative was in jail and he got fully reprimanded for outing her on that one, but that was one of the very few times that he had to get punished ever as a child!!! He was a pretty damn thoughtful kid!!! His grades weren't perfect, but by the fifth grade he did know that his teacher had both a wife and a girlfriend, though he didn't realize that that might be a bad thing until he was begged to keep quiet about it, and being the thoughtful kid that he was, he kept quiet about it!!! The Criminologist was a really interesting kid!!! He really was!!!

Hi! How are you?

Look, I'm writing this because I really want to educate myself. I read your posts, the one you pinned, the ones you write to, and most things because I honestly believe that Noah doesn't deserve any of the bad that is wished upon him. Idk, as a pseudo adult that I am and was here when the whole cancel culture was born (and I've seen it grow over the years) I feel like this obviously transcended. I actually think you're doing the right thing by defending Noah. I agree that if you see something bad or unfair happening and you do nothing you're responsible too. And even if we're wrong and Noah is what they say he is (which I really don't believe) no one deserves death threats and all the other nonsense he's had to read. People who say that forgot that they're not God to judge anyone and if they think they have the moral high ground to attack him like that someone needs to tell them how wrong they are to their face. I guess behind a screen we are all "brave enough to speak up" (however hypocritical I may seem saying this anonymously).

The thing is, I have friends that I don't discuss this with because I feel like I don't have all the information even though I fervently believe that Noah is the sweetest person and would never wish/support what Israel is doing to Palestine, and that's why I'm writing to you. And after this long introduction...

I read the image where he explains how the stickers thing was taken out of context (as I understand it) and I just went to watch the whole video again. I'm having a hard time finding an explanation because even though he notices very quickly what's happening and puts down the phone and stops recording/smiling, at first he does it. At first he laughs like everyone else and if it's his friends who put those kinds of stickers on their foreheads to make fun of it, it's even harder for me to feel like I can defend him. I feel very conflicted about it.

I hope you can answer me, thanks<3

I think focusing on the stickers or even his reaction to them is the wrong approach.

Getting caught up in the argument about what the stickers say was the first thing people did. When that failed, because he obviously didn’t have them himself, people go to his reaction and try to imply all kinds of crazy shit from that (that he was laughing at dead Palestinians, which is patently fucking ridiculous).

I focus on how people reacted to the video itself. Even if you think he reacted in poor taste (I don’t), the question is: does this video justify a smear campaign that has included death threats, rape threats, doxxing, homophobia (slurs, accusations he was spreading MPox on set), antisemitism (“Well, if only he wasn’t raised by Jews, he wouldn’t be like this”) and the harassment of his family to the point of forcing his mom to actively combat people in her own comments sections on her personal socials?

The answer is? Of course not.

Do not give people the concession of even talking about the stickers. That shifts the blame off of them and onto their victim. Put the behavior you’re seeing directed at Noah in the spot light and don’t let them run away from it.

If they cannot wholeheartedly denounce that behavior or, worse, think it’s justified, then there’s no need to talk about the stickers at all. They’ve got faaaar worse issues than stickers if this is the behavior they’ll justify.

And, on a related side note, Noah is famous in this fandom for being unbelievably sweet to his fans when they see him in public. Both word of mouth and videos/pictures of him meeting people out in the wild bear this out. It doesn’t surprise me that he was smiling at a waitress who recognized him and interacted with him, or even that he chuckles awkwardly along with his friends.

There was a guy a year or so back that recalled meeting Noah for the second time, and when he asked Noah if he remembered him, the guy could tell Noah didn’t, but in an effort to make him feel at ease and not awkward, Noah smiled, nodded along, and gave him a hug anyways.

That’s just how the guy is.

People are really brave for trying to make him out as some sort of villain for smiling in a video that’s being taken OF him, when I know it they had a camera trained on them 24/7, even the leftiest of lefties would be caught reacting in a manner that could be misconstrued as problematic.

And judging from the way they react when little old me calls them out on homophobia and antisemitism, I rather doubt they’d think receiving the treatment Noah has would be a fair reaction.

Mayfair Witches S2E3 (Show & Book Spoilers) - A Wild Millennial!Fledgling Felix Appears

Straight out the gate we get the first scene of the ep with Felix:

Interesting. So he has his memories about being a priest, but doesn't remember WHY he died yet--or was killed, rather--and WHAT he is.

VERY interesting that Felix doesn't even consider feeding from Lasher--he knows Lasher's not human/food, but also knows he's not like a vampire--they're different but the same, as immortals.

Ironic AF, cuz Lasher & Felix had this whoooole effing convo about "Human" Guilt not being something BAMF monsters like them should feel (STFU Felix--Lestat, PLEASE come collect your ratcatcher already, LOL).

I've mentioned b4 how Lasher & Lestat have A LOT in common:

So I'm glad AMC is leaning into book!Lasher's past life, back when he was a Taltos & converted to Christianity & became a priest.

But Felix is dead wrong about guilt being a strictly human emotion --Lasher was never human. He was BORN a Wild Taltos. And yet he, like all sentient creatures, still has a SOUL. Even when he came back wrong when Suzanne summoned his ghost, he had a soul. He just CHOSE to do evil.

Crazy how Lestat's being called a "good teacher" --the same dude that set Felix on effing fire and yeeted him into a hurricane and DGAF about him--the cycles of abuse just keep cycling! 😭 So now we have Lestat to blame for Felix giving Lasher AWFUL advice about embracing being a coldblooded killer, omfg. 🤦

I CANNOT BELIEVE Lasher & Felix are on the same park bench in Jackson Square where LESTAT & LOUIS sat & talked, and Lestat tried to teach/pressure Louis to be a coldblooded killer. 😭 THE CYCLES ARE CYCLING.

So this proves my point about Lestat's character redemption having not started yet at all--77 years staying cooped up in that SadShack feeling sorry for himself didn't teach Les ANYTHING.

Eff Charles Darwin! Lestat, you effing moron--THIS is the drivel you've been teaching Felix, after having SEEN the ATROCITIES the Theatre des Vampires perpetrated against YOU and LOUIS and CLAUDIA? 🤦The audience LAUGHED at Louis cuz he didn't wanna eat people, and the coven wanted to condemn Lou to DEATH for being a bad/wrong type of vampire/monster!

So Les doubled down on that reductive draconian way of thinking, to make another monster like Felix--the same type of ruthless killer the coven condemned CLAUDIA to death for?! 🤦

Wtv, Lestat. 🙄😒

And while Felix DOES acknowledge that Lasher's a new thing with new rules, it's with the HEAVY implication that killing is what creatures like them SHOULD do, without guilt/shame; and that living by HUMAN rules about morality will just make Lasher go crazy, cuz it's incompatible with his TRUE nature.

But Felix is dead effing wrong about vampires, humans, etc.

Unlike vampires, who feed on blood, it is NOT in the Taltos' nature to kill, who feed on (breast)milk. This is horrible advice, and I hope Lasher doesn't take it to heart and kill more Mayfairs, cuz THAT is what's gonna drive him crazy. In the books, he DOES regret what he's done, and runs back home begging Michael for forgiveness/understanding. But by then it's too late; his body count's way too effing high, the atrocities he'd committed way too severe for him to ever be redeemed. Bye, Felicia.

And I feel VERY sorry for Felix, if this is the way Lestat taught him to think & behave. 😔

So yeah; really informative crossover scene.

One Piece Manga Review!

I’ve been wanting to go through One Piece again from the beginning because y’know. My love for this fiction cannot be contained. So I’m picking up the manga from the beginning and I wanna post about it! Why not!

I probably won’t post about each chapter as I go, but I wanna talk about chapter 1 in particular as it functions as an introduction to the roller coaster of storytelling we know One Piece as! There’s some good shit in there.

I first wanna talk about Roger.

He’s cool because y’know, he sets the tone for the entire rest of the series. Not just because he’s the first thing we see when we open the front page, but his impact is felt continuously in-universe. It’s cool thinking about this with all the future knowledge I’ve got because truly, I didn’t give a shit about Roger starting out. I’m sure that’s just a me thing, but I couldn’t have been paid to care about what this guy did or said until like Loguetown. But with context, I giggle and kick my little feet thinking about how he got here and everyone who was effected by it.

I love his existence as a faceless character of legend for a while, with nothing but the non-specific image of “pirate” to connect to him. It’s been so cool getting to know him through more backstory and meeting people who had relationships with him. He’s grown from a legend to like. My cool dead uncle everyone talks fondly about. I only get to love him through the lens of everyone who knew him before I got the chance to.

Anyway, moving on. Luffy. Monkey D. Luffy.

One of the most foundational pieces of little Luffy’s personality is that he’ll do just about anything to get someone to like him. So it makes total sense that our first impression of him is just that. His first act on screen is hurting himself to prove he’s worthy of being a companion. His desperation to be liked is simultaneously concerning and adorable. Love that little guy.

One of my favorite meaningful Luffy panels in this chapter is toward the end when Shanks’ crew rolls in to fight the mountain bandit guy. Shanks calls Luffy his friend and the face that little guy makes is just so 🥺. All he wants is for someone to like him.

It also always strikes me how short tempered little Luffy is! This whole chapter is a complication of Luffy being The Most Pissed a little boy could be, bro’s blood pressure has got to be through the roof. I’m tempted to say he’s grown out of it, but honestly, he still throws tantrums about the same sorta things nowadays. He’ll never figure out how to take the word ‘no’. I can’t even say I blame him though. Shanks was a PROFESSIONAL rage baiter. Worked a little too well. It’s fun to watch Luffy function entirely on spite, though. He’s most motivated by people telling him he can’t do something, because goddammit he’s gonna do whatever the hell he wants. He’s a free man.

Shanks is also such an interesting character upon introduction. Comparing this loud, goofy, emotional version of Shanks to the much more mellow guy we’re familiar with in the present is so crazy. It’s intentional, of course; he’s older, he’s wiser, he’s seen so many things that probably changed his entire outlook on life. But it’s insane. He’s like a totally different guy.

Shanks makes a lotta good faces this chapter. He’s so expressive, so silly. Bring this back fr.

Oda does a lot of telling rather than showing here. I think this remains true for a lot of the beginning of the story. I’m not sure if it’s an intentional choice, or if the guy was just trying to figure out his writing style, but I’m glad he doesn’t do much of that anymore. Moments and sentiments like these are much better appreciated when I don’t have someone in my ear saying it word for word with little room for interpretation.

I also took note of the difference in paneling! Right before reading this, I read chapter 1153 because I kept putting it off. The difference in visual storytelling between current One Piece and chapter 1 is wild. The art style alone is pretty different, but the flow of each panel, dialogue and narration boxes, etc. It’s like reading a different thing altogether.

This chapter introduces us to some of the most foundational/long lasting themes in One Piece. Friendship, carrying your dreams with you, keeping promises, perseverance, leadership, etc. These ideas come up alllllllll the time and it’s sick to see so many things introduced in just one chapter.

Okay bye.

My Favorite English Line for each NCT Member

Okay, this is something that has been on my mind for a while, but I think I've finally sorted things out enough to finish the complete list, so now I'm sharing it with the world (cause ya know, to the world, nct)

Before we get started: this is my opinion, and not what I'm claiming to be their most iconic or best line (because then we all know what Jaehyun's would be and it has to do with queso), but these are just my favorite lines to listen to because they make me transcend or something.

Also, I did not include solo stuff when compiling this because otherwise, some line from Horizon would beat out every other Jaehyun line and that's too much personal bias to feel like including - I just really love Horizon.

Now, it's time to share my most ambitious project yet:

Johnny: "ice on with no lights on, but you're still shining yeah" (faded in my last song)

you guys, you guys. the way he sings this is crazy. I love Johnny Suh

Taeyong: "multicolored diamonds like the rainbow yeah, yeah, yeah" (regular)

it's just so addicting I don't think you guys understand. especially with his little choreography, it's perfect

Yuta: "baby we go wild. 127 squad" (kick it)

nothing gets me pumped up like how this Yuta line gets me pumped up. it's so good. he's so good!!

Kun: "it was all out of my control but I really want you to know the truth" (on my youth english version)

the way this is sung, I could listen to it on repeat forever. fantastic job, Kun. wish I could give him a pat on the head for this.

Doyoung: "so stay" (promise you)

Doyoung biases don't come at me for my favorite line of his only being two words. Doyoung is my son, I love him with everything in me, and this is so soft and perfect of him that there's no way it couldn't be my favorite. he's the reason this song is so amazing.

Ten: "oh baby, give it to me" (baby don't stop)

yeah this absolutely raises me from the grave it's so aurally pleasing I can't even begin to describe it.

Jaehyun: "it's a cruel game, I cannot lose" (sit down!)

everyone go listen to this song right now I'm not even kidding. this Jaehyun line is so addicting and perfect and hot wow.

WinWin: "we should be together, you should know" (king of hearts)

I have ALWAYS loved this part, so finding my favorite english line for him was pretty easy because wow. what a pre-chorus this man gives us. thank you, WinWin.

Jungwoo: "hey, I see you" (ay-yo)

back to absolutely transcending this line is crazy. very good, Jungwoo. wow.

Mark: "skrrt pull up in the coupe beep beep. girl, I got your lovin' on repeat" (highway to heaven english version)

I actually cannot explain how much I love this line. my mom even listens to this song with me specifically because she also knows how FANTASTIC and addicting this part is.

Xiaojun: "can I be honest? I so hate to be controlled" (take off)

wow. everything about Xiaojun is just wow, including this line.

Hendery: "falling for a stranger, good gracious" (love talk english version)

you guys. you guys. it's the "good gracious." why is it so addicting and perfect? I love Hendery so much I cannot even begin to explain, but this line is surely one of the reasons why because wow. I am asexual, but when Hendery sings this...

Renjun: "I go round and around like a merry-go" (SOS)

again, if I was going for iconic, I would've put his bridge in ISTJ, but this line of his is so perfect and aurally pleasing that I physically couldn't not put it in this list. this one line is the reason I love SOS as much as I do.

Jeno: "you owe me sleep" (broken melodies)

CRIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. that is all I have to say about that.

Haechan: "you see my hope was all but gone" (superhuman)

okay this one is a very iconic line but can I be blamed for it also being on my favorites list? no. because this line is the definition of transcendental. everything about it, including Haechan, is perfect.

Jaemin: "shakin’ stirrin’ drinkin’ up" (smoothie)

this Jaemin line is crazy I really don't know what else to tell you. Actually affects every nerve in my body

YangYang: "she's a keeper, but I just can't keep her" (low low)

you guys. you know it's good when I pull out the "you guys" as my only coherent thought at first. YangYang eats here.

Chenle: "guess I finally get back to you" (broken melodies)

is my favorite line for my bias and bias wrecker in NCT Dream both from my favorite NCT Dream song? yes, but the fact that I am in love with how Chenle sings this line has nothing to do with the fact that it feeds into my delusions. I promise.

Jisung: "hate this distance cause I'm just left here singing" (broken melodies)

okay, Jisung isn't my bias nor bias wrecker but my favorite line of his still comes from Broken Melodies because NO ONE sings this part like he does and I have to make sure you all are aware of that. this line was made for Jisung.

Okay that- that's all. I have no clue what to do with myself now.

Chapter 10 of Don't Blame Me (Love Made Me Crazy) is out now!

Snippet:

Regulus tries to ignore it. Tries to ignore the fact that something is wrong, that something is going to happen and Regulus isn’t sure what to do, how to handle it. So he doesn’t. He can feel himself slip away, slowly falling into the recesses of his own mind. He isn't calm. His thoughts still run wild. James’ words sound distant, his fingers feel cold. Under him, James is rigid and stiff. He doesn’t understand. 

“I can’t stay,” James says after a long time, his voice still sounds wrong, distant, weird, odd. He doesn’t sound like James at all. Regulus sits up slowly, frowning at him. He can’t really concentrate, can’t pinpoint why this isn’t right. Something is happening and Regulus doesn’t know what.

“What?” Regulus whispers quietly, his own voice sounds vacant to his own ears. 

James places a soft kiss to Regulus head before sitting up himself, pulling away and out of Regulus reach. He sits on the couch frozen, his mind whirling and not entirely processing, “I’m Regs, I need to go.” James gets up and begins to walk away. 

Regulus stares unseeingly into the fire for a beat or two before shooting to his feet. “What the fuck James?! What could possibly be more important right now? I fucking need you and you what… you don’t care?” He thinks he shouted but he cannot be sure, he isn't sure what his face is doing either. 

James turns to face him, an expression riddled with guilt and pain that Regulus doesn’t understand. He visibly hesitates, stalling his answer before simply blurting, “I think we should break up…”

Regulus’ world promptly shatters. His heart blistering and breaking into pieces, “what?” he says quietly, his voice thick with tension. 

“I said…” James begins, hesitating, swallowing visibly. Regulus stares at him, eyes wide, shook and hurt written all over his face, of which he is certain. James’ eyes swirl with emotions that Regulus cannot even begin to comprehend. “I said, I think we should-” 

“No, I know what you said…” Regulus stares across the room at James, the small distance seeming like a great big void between them. James hands fidget with themselves before he tucks them into his trouser pockets.  “Why?” his voice cracks, “Did I do something?” 

He shakes his head, bringing a hand to his hair and pushing a rough hand through his unruly locks, “Of course not, Regs. No you did absolutely nothing, I just…” he trails off, grimacing to himself before looking over at Regulus with the most pitifully guilty expression he has ever seen, “I love you, Regulus but… but I’m in love with Lily.”

And that just… what the fuck. 

Regulus has nothing to say to that. He knew this would happen. He forgot about it for a while, genuinely hoping that this was forever, that all their promises would remain intact. Of course he was wrong. When has the universe ever given Regulus what he wants? 

Silence stretches as he stares blankly, the words bouncing around his skull like a muggle wrecking ball, destroying everything he thought he knew on sight. It takes a moment for everything to settle back into place but then he simply nods once, “okay…”

“Reggie I-”

“You said you had to go.” Regulus turns his back to him, his mind numb as he stares into the fire, fingers tugging gently at the gryffindor jumper he so eagerly threw on earlier. 

“...Yeah… Okay…” and he does. He goes.

do you have many thoughts on the jack owen relationship? I always thought that one was so interesting

Yes I do! I love their relationship, I think it's soooo interesting.

From Jack's angle, I think the whole thing is pretty straightforward. He really cares for Owen, in a sort of fatherly way. It's clear he feels responsible for Owen and at times a little helpless in the face of Owen's emotional sensitivity and ensuing bastardry. I think he's intensely aware of Owen's talent and his potential and also so very aware of just how much Owen cares under that shield of sarcasm and assholery.

Owen's angle is a little more complicated. He's constantly trapped between hating being told what to do and needing direction, trapped between wanting support and pushing it away. He's in general an emotional minefield, so sensitive and so ready to snap at the world and bite anyone's head off. But I think he's conflicted regarding Jack too, because on one level he blames Jack for Katie's death and for his general misery, but on the other hand Jack gave him a chance to start a new life, and I think he really really really wants Jack's approval and acceptance. He's so raw all of the time and his reaction when he's upset is just to freak out and destroy, and I think sometimes Jack's stable presence is good for him.

And thank you for this ask because thinking about my answer made me figure something out. Another thing is the way in which, in terms with the relationship with Jack, Owen sits right in between Gwen and Ianto, and Toshiko. Jack gives Tosh support when she needs it, but I think she is pretty good at being alone (in the introvert way; she's definitely still lonely, they all are). Gwen and Ianto both get plenty of interaction and connection from Jack, and they seek it out. Owen is terrible at being alone, but he is, and Jack sometimes relieves that but not as often as he probably should. Not because he doesn't want to, but because Owen is terrible at being alone and yet constantly forces himself to be alone.

I also think Jack really struggles with figuring out how to help Owen when he's truly upset. The problem with Owen is that he wants to be supported but he wants to feel in control and he really, really doesn't want to feel pitied. So attempt at support will get a pushback, but just kind of being sharp about it will send him into a different kind of tailspin.

The three ways we see Jack deal with Owen's upset are so fascinating to me. First, in Combat, Jack essentially ignores Owen's misery. It's fairly obvious that Owen is Wallowing and that he's genuinely heartbroken. Jack barely acknowledges it, sends him on an assignment, and the consequences are a genuinely very suicidal Owen only surviving suicide by Weevil by accident of location and timing (since Owen doesn't have comms/phone/tracker on him when he's in the warehouse). Jack's reaction to Owen's "I didn't want saving" in the hospital is to refuse to acknowledge it. I think it's really really really hard for Jack to admit to himself that there are things his team does and feels that a) are out of his control and b) he cannot just fix.

Then there's the exact opposite: Jack's support of Owen in Dead Man Walking. I mean first of all, he loved Owen enough to bring him back. That's crazy. He knows, from Suzie, that bringing someone back to life is not a trivial thing. There are consequences. Not to mention at this point Jack has lost so many friends and colleagues and lovers. And yet Owen is the one he decides to bring back. (I've always thought that he used the Glove instead of Gwen because he was hoping it would bring Owen back like Suzie, and he has infinite life force to feed off of.) (Also, it's wild that Owen is the most actively suicidal team member and yet he's the one who dies and gets brought back.) And then, when Owen is freaking out, Jack is there for him. Jack seeks him out, he comforts him, talks to him. He touches Owen, and Owen is a tactile person. Despite the circumstances, it's such a good moment, because I think it's the kind of thing Owen needs. Physical contact but also very honest and straightforward conversation and verbal support, without any platitudes or patronizing.

Finally you have A Day In The Death, which is a very similar situation to Combat. Owen is (understandably) freaking out about his undead existence. And I think again Jack has no idea what to do about it. He feels guilty (for bringing Owen back "wrong") but also self-righteous (for giving Owen a second chance etc), and it shows. He really, really doesn't know what to do with Owen. Treating him like normal isn't really possible until they figure out how his undead-ness affects everything, but treating him the way he does (making him take Ianto's job) is essentially a punishment for Jack's own actions. Owen's already having this crisis about no longer having sensation, no longer being able to eat or drink or fuck or sleep, and Martha is doing his job for him, and he's forced to do Ianto's job (which everyone including Owen knows he's not very good at), and it's so much the opposite of any sort of support. I can't remember which fic it is right now (probably something by paperclipbitch on LJ, she's queen of excellent Owen content) where Owen comments about how there's protocol and guidelines for how team members should deal with the death of a coworker, but nothing on how a coworker should deal with their own (un)death. I think this is what a lot of A Day In The Death is about. It's everyone else trying to deal with the weirdness of Owen's death, while Owen is alone by himself trying desperately to deal with his (un)death without anyone actually sitting him down and asking him how he's coping and what he needs, etc. He comes close with that conversation with Martha, but doesn't quite get there. It's the conversation with Henry (who doesn't know he's dead) that gets him to some place of peace.

(Side note: it's really fascinating how the sort of "moral" of both Glove episodes - TKKS and ADITD - is something along the lines of "life is all" like Suzie says, except that Suzie's reaction is to desperately kill and Owen's reaction is desperation to save a dying man even when it's impossible, and then to actually save a suicidal woman.)

But I also love the way that Jack and Owen do actual work together. Owen, when he's not being a shithead or falling apart, is extremely competent and responsible at his job. And I think both Owen and Jack respect each other in that sense. It drives me a little bit nuts that Gwen becomes second in command when it really should be Owen (my little headcanon is that when Jack left Owen became leader and then hated it and found it too stressful and let Gwen take over instead). Anyway. I love those moments when they have matter of fact, respectful, "work" conversations, where they obviously value each other's thoughts and opinions. It means that when Owen pushes back, he's not just being contrarian. He does value Jack's opinions, so when he talks back it's because he genuinely takes issue with something.

Which circles back around to the whole "wanting support but also pushing back against authority" thing because the entire conflict in End Of Days is brought about at least in part by Jack refusing to extend that respect. Owen loved Jack and wanted him back so much that he opened the Rift (I have a whole other thought about Jack's dumbassery regarding the whole blame for opening the Rift thing...I can talk about that in another post too) but Jack can't be grateful for coming back and can't extend that respect by admitting that he's clueless about how to stop time from splintering. I think the confrontation between Jack and Owen when Owen gets fired is entirely predicated on this. Owen did this thing to bring Jack and Tosh back, he feels both righteous (for getting them back) and guilty (for causing the split), and he wants Jack to acknowledge that he was right to bring them back. Instead, Jack blames him for the splintering, and gives no advice on fixing it, and when Owen finally explodes and brings up all the uncertainty and unknowns and things, he gets fired. Rejected by the one person he really wants acceptance and support from.

I can never decide if I see Jack and Owen as a sort of father/son relationship, or if I see it more as like the older brother 10+ years Owen's senior who took care of and partially raised him but is almost like a friend with authority rather than a parent. In any case, I think there's a lot of push and pull there, in Owen wanting support but hating authority, and also a lot of mutual respect there.

'neil is pale/can't be tan he's a redhead' is so crazy like 1) questionable, he's only canonically described as having auburn hair which is not straight up ginger which I'm assuming you're thinking of, it's typically darker and a whole range of possible shades from more red toned - more brown toned, 2) even if he WAS a coppery ginger, 'I've never seen a tan redhead' with the implication that therefore they can't exist is a wild claim to make, 3) even if that WAS true, its fiction and people can do whatever the hell they want with character design anyway, 4) acting like people are gonna figuratively 'flog you in the town square' for depicting a character as pale and white when the majority of the fandom already does ANYWAY is wild, and whether it was intended or not, you cannot blame people for pointing out racist microaggressive undertones to it. it makes it seem like you feel uncomfortable and targeted somehow just by a few other people imagining him or depicting him differently.
