#dean makes a better edward than i do. |:

[cianfries-stuff]

Welcome, everyone, to my TED Talk. Today, we're diving into my humble top 3 most striking declarations of love from Dean to Sam so far.

3. Croatoan. Dean wanted Sam to infect him with the Croatoan virus so they could die together. I bet that if the doctor hadn’t come back two seconds later to free them, Dean would’ve cut himself on purpose and infected himself so that Sam wouldn’t have to do it once he lost control. At that point, all that was missing was George Michael’s Careless Whisper in the background, and they might as well have ended the series right there.

2. The siren. In the show, the siren transforms into the person you desire most in the world. For Dean, that person isn’t a lover, a girlfriend, or a wife—it’s a version of Sam who loves him more than he believes the real Sam does, and who’s as devoted to him as he is to Sam. In fact, what Dean wants the most is to be loved by his baby brother. I can't believe this is actually a canon event.

1. Dean’s heaven. When he gets to heaven in season 5, he relives the memory of when he and Sam shot off fireworks for the 4th of July. This moment gives us a glimpse into his deepest feelings:

Dean has always felt this way about Sam.

His affection hasn’t changed over the years—from the time that memory took place to his arrival in heaven, despite all they’ve been through: demon blood, fights, trying to kill and save each other repeatedly. What he felt back then as a kid is exactly what he feels now as an adult, except now it comes with the bittersweet nostalgia of knowing it’ll never come back.

Dean’s idea of heaven doesn’t center on his own happiness—it’s about Sam’s. And it’s even better if he is the reason Sam is happy.

And if that’s not enough, Dean openly admits how painful it is to realize that he doesn’t even appear in Sam’s heaven. I think we can safely call this moment a not-as-subtle-as-dean-thinks declaration of love and devotion. Interestingly, in that episode, we see a string of Sam’s memories but only one of Dean’s—and Sam doesn’t even witness it. It really makes you wonder what other memories might make up Dean’s heaven…

One more thing: that scene reminds me of the one in Edward Scissorhands where Winona Ryder’s character dances in the snow. It’s fascinating to compare the two, because one scene should depict brotherly love while the other shows romantic love, yet to me, they seem almost identical. And honestly, I think Dean and Edward have a lot in common—but that’s a topic for another TED Talk.

So, to wrap things up: Dean is madly in love with his little brother. Thank you all for listening.

I'm only up to season 5, so this is a partial ranking. Stay tuned for more rants!

King!Steve | Lovers to Enemies

An innocent crush leads to Steve teaching you the rules of the game. Turns out you're an even better player.

TW: FemReader, Angst, Revenge, Smut, Hate Sex, Jealousy, Cheating, 18+

It began with a kiss. 

A party on a cool fall night. Red and gold leaves still clung to their branches, painting the woods around skull rock a new color. Your friends were getting tanked on cases of cheap beer bought by Dean Finley's older brother after a blow job from Chrissy under the bleachers.

Hawkins golden boy Steve Harrington stood on the other side of the fire, untouchable, above it all. Like a stalker, you hadn't been able to keep your eyes off him all night even though he's never spared you more than a glance. A moth to a flame, you watched him through the tiny glowing embers rising in the smoke, with a growing ache radiating from your gut. A crush – that's what your friends told you. It can't be real love if it's not returned, but you know that's not true. It would be so much easier if it were. It would mean you could stop. 

He threw his cigarette into the fire and wandered away from his friends into the dark of the woods, and because you couldn't stop, you followed him. But he was already gone, lost among the tall trees, leaving you alone with your pain. A twig snaps behind you, and Steve is there, leaning against a tree.

"Following me?" he stepped toward you until you looked up at him.

"Um…no," you sputtered, panicking, "I was just…um…what are you doing here?"

"Waiting for you," his hand landed on your hip, drawing you closer. 

"Me?" you questioned as your body automatically complied, "How did you know I'd come out here?"

"I hoped," his lopsided smile had your stomach doing somersaults as his thumb traced your bottom lip.

"I didn't even know you–" 

His pillow-soft lips covered yours, slowly teasing your mouth until you opened for him and his tongue found yours. All the pain turned to rapture, your love burst into gold flakes that glistened as they floated through your veins. 

He kissed you and kissed you until you were drunk on him, eyes still closed when he pulled away. 

"We should get back," his hand smoothed along your jaw, "You go first, and I'll be there soon."

"Okay," you agreed, shaking your head like you understood, although you didn't.

Sipping from the warm can, you let the malt and metallic tang wash away his kisses as you watched from the other side of the fire when he joins his friends, not offering you a glance. Seeing his kiss-bitten lips kept you from wondering if you had imagined the whole thing.

A few weeks without acknowledgment and he was pulling you into the tiny half-bath on the first floor of Tiffany Edward's house. His mouth was sweetened by beer and tobacco while his hands roamed over your clothes. Your body heated, and that gold glittered - though slightly tarnished from neglect. Sighing into his mouth, you pushed those thoughts away. He wanted you. That was all that mattered. 

That turned into this - in the backseat of his car, thick fingers finding you sticky wet. 

"Has anyone touched you before?" 

"There has only been you," you admit without regard for your heart. 

He smiles against your lips, "Can I make you feel good?"

With your permission, you're stretched around him. Pants and gasps steaming the windows until he does just that. Still floating and trembling, his hand moves yours until you're touching him and watching him get lost in the feeling. 

When he told you his parents were gone for the weekend, you knew what you were saying yes to. You'd been expecting the sting. 

"It won't hurt next time," he soothed.

The promise of next time made any pain fade as he moved inside you, and you gave him everything. 

"Bend over and hold on to the hood."

He found you after the game, asking you to stay. He kept you waiting in the parking lot until everyone else had gone. His BMW sat parked in the shadows. His hair was damp from the shower, and his body still high from his win. His hands moved under your skirt, flipping it up, moving aside your panties. Rubbing your clit until you were embarrassingly wet. He pushed inside while you clawed at the hood. And he was right. It didn't hurt. He moved hard and fast. Colors exploded behind your eyes.

"Shit, that was good," he kissed you after, "I made you cum, right?"

He was holding Nancy's hand, walking her to class, when you first felt it. 

Those tarnished gold flakes had turned to rust, collecting in your heart, corroding it until it seized. She was perfect, smart, and pretty. He put his arm around her shoulder, and you watched his eyes light up with pride. She's his girl. He walked past you without a glance. Your blood is a bitter poison, formaldehyde keeping you preserved despite being dead inside. 

Everyone gets it wrong. Hate is just as strong as love. 

It ends with a kiss. 

A party at Carol's, one you know that Miss Priss won't attend. Steve arrives with the rest of the basketball players. His eyes land on you, and he looks away. No matter. Chance Bailey is his teammate, his rival, younger with adorable floppy hair. They even play the same position. It doesn't take much, a smile while you "accidentally" rub up against him, and he is yours – like you used to be his. It makes you just as bad as Steve. That should give you pause, but it doesn't. Steve taught you the truth. It's all just a game, and not everyone can win.

Pulling Chance over to the couch, you sit on his lap and hang on his every word. Steve's jaw is clenched when he takes the chair beside the couch – you've got his attention.  

"I think next year we'll make it to the championship," Chance tells you with his hand high on your thigh. 

"I bet you're real good at gettin it in," you run your hand through his wavy locks, and his eyes widen. 

"Give it a fucking rest, Bailey," Steve stands up, his hands open and closing into fists, "We could have won this year if you tried as hard to get the ball as you are trying to get this girl's ass." 

"Is that right, Harrington," Chance pushes you off his lap and mirrors Steve's posture, "because I was thinking we could have won if Coach had kept you on the bench with the rest of the losers."

Without another word, Steve's fist connects with Chance's nose. There's an audible crunch of bone and a burst of red. The other players are getting in between them to make sure things end there. 

"This is who you want now?" Steve yells at you, pointing his hand toward the boy bleeding onto the carpet, "or are you making your way through the whole team?"

Now it’s your turn to strike. With a red handprint on his face and his arm wrapped around your bicep, he drags you into Carol's little brother's room, and you get exactly what you want. 

His hungry mouth is on you, tearing at your lips as his hand fumbles behind him, twisting the lock on the doorknob. 

"Is this what you wanted?" he yanks your head back with a hand full of your hair, "you wanted me to fuck you."

"It didn't have to be you," you say, loosening his belt, "anyone would do."

He pushes you further into the room against a low chest of drawers with a mirror attached. Plastic dinosaurs and transformers fall over the side and onto the floor. The stiff corduroy of your skirt burns your skin when it's yanked up around your hips, and you're lifted to the edge of the bureau.

"Is that right? You think you're going to give away what's mine?" He latches on to your neck, sucking hard enough to leave a mark while peeling your panties down your legs until they slide off the rest of the way, fluttering to the floor. 

"Yours?" you can't help the laugh that bubbles from your throat, "I think you're confused."

"There's no confusion," he wrenches your legs open wide, "this cunt is mine to play with when I want," he looks down at your center, a warm blob of spit falling from his mouth, running down into your folds. 

"Sorry, Harrington," you suck in a sharp breath as his fingers start to work you, "You broke this toy, and now it's somebody else's turn."

"You think someone else is going to fuck you as good as me?" his tone is arrogant, and he holds your gaze, trying to prove his point with his thumb circling your clit.

Only one of you can win this game, and it's a little pathetic he hasn't figured out he's already lost. Your hands on his chest push him away, "You think I need your fingers to cum?" your fingers glide through your wetness before taking his place, "I can play all by myself," you say each word slowly before letting out a moan. 

"Christ," he breathes, eyes darkening with lust and fury. His knees hit the floor, and his hands push into the skin of your inner thighs, holding you open so he can bury his face into your core.

He licks you and licks you until you're cumming on his tongue, eyes opened wide when he pulls away. 

"We should get back," your hand wipes away some of the wetness on his face, "You go first, and I'll be there soon."

With a growl, he pulls you off the bureau and spins you around. He unzips and holds himself at your entrance watching your face in the mirror while he waits for you to fuck yourself onto his cock. Smirking, you oblige him, rocking back until your ass slaps his thighs. His eyes roll back as you really start to work him, rolling your hips as you push back hard and fast. 

"Feels good, doesn't it?" you coo, sticky sweet, as you watch his face in the mirror, "You like watching yourself get fucked, Steve?"

His lips twist into a smug sneer as his hand comes down on your ass with a loud slap before he digs his fingers into your hips and starts meeting you thrust for thrust. Angry grunts mix with moans and swears. You're cumming again when his strokes get frantic.

"I'm gonna cum," he pants.

"No," you say, pushing back hard and moving away until he's out of your pussy, "you can't cum inside me."

His hand moves to his cock, stroking, trying to salvage the orgasm you had rudely interrupted. 

"What the fuck?" ropes of cum splash his shirt, and run down his hand staining his jeans.

Bending, you pick up your panties and smooth your skirt back in place. 

"Save that for when you're with Nancy."

That was the moment you won. His eyes widened with the realization of what he'd done with his cock softening in his hand. He really loves her, and now he can live with his guilt.

Pausing before you walk out the door, a little of that rust flaking off with a single pump of your heart – maybe not completely dead. 

"Steve," you look at him over your shoulder, blowing him a kiss, "have fun cleaning up your mess."

[dooplissss]

i saw your tags on that post, can you tell me about the homestuck quadrants? i was hugely into homestuck like 10 years ago but i’ve forgotten almost everything. i want to remember the ancient ways

* cracks knuckles >:) *

Matesprit ❤️ is easy, its just what humans see as romance and true love etc. One of the two reproductive quadrants, yadda yadda you get it.

Examples: - Morticia <3 Gomez - Ruby <3 Sapphire - Darcy <3 Elizabeth, with arguably some grey/black romance thru the story but thats what makes it so enduring

Moirails ♦️ is my personal favorite quadrant and is fairly straightforward, tho the canon definition is different from fanon. In fanon, its interpreted basically as best friends/queerplatonic, which, yeah, can and usually does happen with that proximity and thats why I love it, but in canon its more a power balance to prevent violence and death, typically with one figure reining back a more chaotic one. When applying to humans and other fandoms tho its better to lean toward the slightly fanon interpretation since Alternia's violent culture is so different from ours.

Examples: - Nepeta <> Equius - Aziraphale <> Crowley (obvi the situation is changing but lets leave this here) - Dean <> Castiel (obvi i'm team matesprit but canonically they belong here up til cas declares his love) - Joel <> Ellie (this is a strictly platonic quadrant dw) - Caleb <> Nott/Veth (I want to shake liam and sam so bad and explain that the relationship they were looking for was right here and they didnt have to awkwardly choose between romance and friendship)

Auspictice ♣️is the one everyone gets wrong and drives me the most insane. It's a tricky and very specific balancing dynamic thats hard to find, except maybe on the CW. Canonically, its a group of three people, two (left and right leaves) want to outright kill each other. This does not make them kismesis, I cannot stress that enough, kismesis don't want each other dead, but we'll get there in a sec. The third person is meant to prevent them from killing each other, being the mediator. Its rare for this dynamic to not be outright toxic, esp in human examples, but its a healthy option on Alternia to prevent unnecessary murder. I think this dynamic is meant to be temporary tho, even in that culture, as it weighs on the mediator a lot.

Examples: - Eridan <3< Sollux ^ Feferi, unfortunately unsuccessful showing how difficult and straining this relationship type is (also everyone who said eridan and sollux were kismesis owes me $5, I'll become a millionaire instantly) - Edward <3< Jacob ^ Bella - Pearl <3< Greg ^ Steven, a happy ending example of an auspictice (ignore the ptsd)

Kismesis ♠️is. man where do I begin. its so good. its such a fun dynamic, especially when you have a pairing that gets it just right. Kismesis is perfect enemies, arch-rivals that share a mutual respect and drive each other to improve themselves to better outwit their opponent. Its when a captain sees one of their ships on fire and smiles, knowing just who did it. Its tipping your opponents head up by the tip of a sword. Its the bad guy showing up at your doorstep because theres no one else they trust more than their greatest nemesis. Its the other reproductive quadrant because its just as deep and passionate as true love, and it can in fact switch between love and hate very easily and often.

Examples: - Quark <3< Odo (imo the BEST non-homestuck example) - Batman <3< Joker (friend hates when i say this but i'm right, esp with lego batman) - Xavier <3< Magneto - Light <3< L - God <3< Satan, why not lmao

I wish homestuck was seen as less cringe bc the quadrants are SOOO FUN to apply to ships and dynamics in other fandoms and contexts. At the same time, people get the quadrants wrong constantly, especially between kismesis and auspictice. And the quadrants aren't static, you don't have to lock a ship in just one forever! feelings change and very easily turn from black to red to black again, its all so complicated and fun to watch.

Hope all this makes sense lmao, thanks for the ask!

Twilight x Supernatural crossover

So I'm currently watching the Twilight Saga for the first time (better than I thought they would be!), and in Breaking Dawn P.1 we finally see Bella's stepdad up close at her dream wedding, and guess who it is...

It's Benny (aka the wonderful Ty Olsson)!!!

And, the Twilight saga canonically exists in supernatural, as learnt by Deans's remark before making vamp kebab in S5xE03.

So, in this lovely universe, this man plays not one but TWO vampires,

Benny Lafitte,

and Eli the vamp in season 2,

But is also the stepfather of Bella Swan, and the step father-in-law to Edward Cullen himself. This man is swimming in vamps.

So essentially there are 3 men who look very much alike in the supernatural timeline, and each end up doing vamp stuff.

A/N: Happy New Year All!!

It’s not fair, the way he’s expected to just carry on and pretend like he’s not spiraling. The way he needs to act like everything is fine, and that he doesn’t care about any of this. It burns, and it’s slowly eating away from him on the inside out. He’s angry, and confused and he feels deceived. How could you do this to him? How could you be with that shithead when he’s right here with his arms and heart opening just praying for a chance to give you the whole world? 

You’re such a smart girl in many ways. An amazing student, making dean’s list every semester. You’re a reader… with an almost inhuman GoodReads goal that you surpass every year. And you’re thoughtful- the insights you share of what you read for is enough to just compile and submit as a final thesis. You know how to make people like you. You have mastered understanding people better than Eddie can ever hope- you amaze him with your ability to listen, and to be a good, genuine friend to so many people, especially those that don’t extend that back to you. But in other ways, you're quite dumb. Wasting your time with that guy was just one of the things Eddie realized you needed help with. 

He needs to set you up with better internet security once he’s the one your leaning against as you type away on your laptop. You’re busy with a final paper, while your deadbeat boyfriend watches the game with some of his friends. He wonders if Chris knows that your search history is the proof in the pudding that he can’t satisfy you, and you beautiful soul think the problem is you.. not him. 

The amount of times you google and read articles on tips, won’t fix the fact that your boyfriend is bad in bed. Eddie acknowledges he doesn’t have as much of a body count as the man, but even Eddie can observe terrible form and pure selfishness all the way across the street as he watched this supar excuse of a human being chasing his own competition while your face falls for the briefest of moments. Chris doesn’t notice, but Eddie noticed. He embodied it. He makes a promise he’d never not make you cum,’make you feel good. 

He wonders what you look like when you aren’t faking it, and putting on a little performance so that asshole can keep his conflated ego. You don’t deserve that. You’re too good for that. If you were with him, he wouldn’t even think about fucking you until you came several times. He imagines you sitting up working on a paper, or maybe reading a book, with your back on his chest where you're safe. And he’d lazily pull you apart slowly with his fingers. Circling your clit and teasing your pretty pussy for hours if you’d let him. And he’d praise you and tell you all the things he wants to tell you now. That you're perfect, the most amazing, beautiful girl and that he’s so lucky that you even looked at him. 

He needs to move his plan forward. It’s depressing seeing you pent up and frustrated and he can’t help you just yet. Everything needs to be perfect. He can’t let his baby be stressed, or heartbroken or anything else when the time is right. And of course, that means getting the braindead Neanderthal out of the picture in a way that will make you resent him. He’s sure any evidence he’d need to get this roadblock out of the way lies in the moron’s cell. But, you’re too sweet, and too forgiving. You don’t know your worth, and you are quickly beginning to settle. Eddie refuses to see you settle, not with this man who doesn’t even see you for weeks until he wants a quick fuck. He doesn’t love you like Eddie does. He won’t take care of you the way Eddie will. 

In the meantime, he’ll learn to be content to be the shoulder you cry on. To become your friend. He’s decided for now he wants to be friends than not be in your life at all. He’ll continue his role of the found friend. The guy best friend. That’s the trope he’s settled on. You’re always rooting for the best friend to get the girl in the end. This way, while he devises a plan to eliminate Chris from the picture, he can still be close to you. And love you, even if it’s not exactly how he wants it just yet. It’s enough for now just to exist as a page in your life. He can wait. He’s patient. Everything needs to go perfectly. 

He knows you’re doing it on purpose. You send him little unspoken messages letting him know that you want him too. The clothes you wear, the way you talk to him, riddled with innuendo and you're so coy. Shy little thing that just makes him crazy. He knows your not innocent, he’s seen the things you do. He knows the e-books you read on your Kindle to hide the romance books. He loves it, your little good girl act you put on for everyone. So sweet, and nice and then you go back to your dorm and the you behind closed doors is such a dirty, naughty girl.

He sees the way you touch yourself in bed when your roommate is gone. He knows all about that little toy you keep under your bed in a shoebox. He thinks about how he can’t wait to get his hands on the thing and show you the other ways you can use it. He’s read the titles on your Kindle Unlimited, your ao3, tumblr… and it’s enough to make his cock undeniably hard. Its all research. To please you, and learn what you like so he can be the best boyfriend for you. Learn all the little kinky secrets you keep in your incognito browser so he can be the one to finally make you fucking cum since your current man clearly couldn’t. 

He’s waiting for you outside your dorm, across the quad under his usual tree. He can see you in your dorm, you always seem to have the curtains open. You’re on the phone with someone, and he can tell his baby is upset with how she’s pacing, and it seems like she’s fighting with whoever was on the other end of the phone. He checks the time on his laptop. About 3 minutes ago you should have received an anonymous email with photos from your boyfriend’s iCloud account. He’s not bright enough to realize those pictures weren’t ever deleted. Unseemly photos that broke his heart to send you arrived at approximately 2:23 to your personal email address. 

He’ll be here for you, in your time of need. Your shoulder to cry on. He waits outside patiently for the movie moment. Whenever you leave your dorm, he’ll be there and then you’ll see him and it will finally click. It was him all along that you needed. Your shy, quiet, almost invisible Eddie was there the whole time and you finally notice him. You realize how much you need him. That you love him the same way that he absolutely and unconditionally loves you. This heartbreak is just a little chapter for your bigger story. Eddie is your happy ending. He just needs you to see him. 

It’s two hours later when you finally emerge from your dorm. You have a hoodie on with the hood up covering your face from the world. He knows it’s to hide the fact that you’re still crying. It’s actually cute. The way your hoodie is longer than your little pajama shorts. It makes his cock twitch in his jeans at the thought of you just wearing that hoodie. You walk with your head down, arms crossed tightly across your chest. You’re embarrassed, and emotional. And vulnerable. 

He watches from his place, but then gets up and heads to his position to run into you. Just like he expected, you're walking quickly, head low, heading directly to either your friend's building to talk or maybe the dining hall to grab food before anyone sees you. Either way, you're walking like you're on a mission so he moves quickly. 

“Oh, sorry I didn’t see you,” you apologize, quickly helping Eddie pick up his dropped books. “I wasn’t paying attention- Eddie! Oh god, uh, hey.” 

“Don’t worry about it,” he stutters, he thought he could be suave, but his stomach is a bundle of nerves and his head is dizzy at the smell of your shampoo. You take the book he dropped (the next read from your Instagram) and tucks it under his arm. 

“That one was great,” you comment, looking to move away quickly before he notices your tear stained face. He pours, concerned. 

“Are you okay?” He asks, “Can I ask what’s wrong?” 

“I’m fine, don’t worry about me,” you try to say with a sniffle, but fail terribly and erupt in a sob. You do your best to choke back the tears and he can tell your trying so hard to keep it in. 

“You don’t seem it,” he says gently, “not to call you a liar.” That makes you smile the smallest bit and it makes his heart race. You take a shaky breath and try to settle your breathing- but it gets much worse and it all just escapes you. You rest your head on his shoulder he offers to you, graciously letting his sweatshirt muffle the sounds of your sobs. 

He’s overwhelmed to be this close to you. To have you touching him this intimately. It was all going to plan, and yet he couldn’t anticipate this all would make him feel. He mumbles your name softly and rubs your back as your tears leave a large spot on his shoulder. He loves it. Wouldn’t trade this for anything. It’s all exactly as he pictured.

That’s it, that’s a good girl, let it out. He’s here. It’s all okay now. He’s going to make sure no one hurts you again. You don’t have to worry about that stupid boy. It’s all going to be better now. Just wait and see. 

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” you apologize, pulling away, and it takes all his will power to not pull you back in. “This is so embarrassing, I’m so sorry. That was so not okay,” you force a chuckle. “You don’t know me, I’m so sorry, Eddie. I don’t… I’m sorry, uh, I should not burden you with this.”

“Hey, hey,” he says softly, only touching your arm respectively, it’s almost like it’s hovering. He’s a good guy. He’s not going to take advantage of this. Not now. That’s what will make you like him, he’s going to be the respectful guy, the nice guy. The one you can come to and trust. 

“It’s okay,” he says soothingly. “Do you want to talk about it? Let me be a little more helpful than just a shoulder to cry on- unless you just need that. That’s okay too. I'm your friend. It’s okay.” 

You nod and sniffle, offering a weak but grateful smile. You are able to mumble a small thank you and he just thinks you’re so cute. You’re so sincere. He’s so sorry he had to make you hurt like this. He knows if you knew you’d understand, but you also understand why he can’t tell you. You’re too sweet, you don’t deserve to be subjected to that. That’s why he’s here, so you don’t have to worry your little head about anything else. He’s going to protect you from all of that. 

That was the start of your friendship. No longer just classmates, or friendly acquaintances. That moment solidified Edward’s presence in your life. That pivotal moment was what let him in. It was the open window and invitation inside instead of merely getting just glimpses of your life. 

It takes so much self control around you, to not be too forward and scare you away. You’re delicate, and he knew he needed to ease in slowly. Purposeful moments spaced out just enough to let you believe it was all happening as it unfolded, and not that he’s had these moments drafted for months just waiting to Star you in them. 

Your popularity and status took a very hard blow as soon as you started to talk more with Eddie. People warned you that he was a weirdo, and a creep and that you should avoid him. He was a troubled person and you needed to keep your distance. You ignored all the warnings, people were just cruel, and they never got to know him the way you did, you believed. 

Eddie began to help you understand that he was the first true friend you actually had, and how everyone else was fake, and status obsessed. It bothers you to see people avoid you now. They had reached out in the beginning, urging you to stay away from him and come out again, but he helped you understand they didn't care about you. Soon, texts and calls were avoided, you’d rather be with Eddie. Your one true friend, the one person you could be yourself around. He was all you needed. 

He can hardly contain himself around you, still, after months of this only friends thing. You’re precious, and delicate, and he doesn’t want to scare you away by moving too fast. You’re growing closer and closer each day, but it’s also more and more painful for him. To restrain his desires, to make the sacrifices he needs to keep you happy. It doesn’t help that you have no idea of how much of an fucking tease you are. 

You’re affectionate by nature. Caring, constantly showing your platonic affection through little touches. Holding his arm, rubbing his shoulder, hugs, kisses on cheeks… it’s all so overwhelming. He’s still not used to the chills he gets everytime you touch his arm, or push his grown out hair from his eyes. You’re so needy for physical touch, and it causes him so much strain. He can’t contain himself, desperate to just finally release all the pent up tension running deep in him and just finally wreck you. 

Many times, he’d need to excuse himself- thanking whatever higher power let him secure a single dorm with a bathroom- to pump his cock while you wait for him on his bed, movie paused. You’re in his room, something he fantasized about for ages, and it’s so overstimulating. Both of you, legs touching, with your thighs exposed by your shorts that have ridden up. Your shoulders brush against each other and your skin is just so soft, he can’t take it. He wants to just ravish you, freely let his hands grope and roam all over the exposed flesh. He can’t help it, can you really blame him?

Now that it was just him, it became his duty to keep the others away. He’s not stupid enough to think he’s the only one that wants you. He sees the way heads turn when you walk past, and how it goes unnoticed by you often. He sees the way despite his presence, other men on campus will approach you. You think they are friends, but Eddie knows they are just like him. But they don’t want what’s best for you like he does. Self-serving jerks that make you laugh politely at their jokes, and have your little mind convinced their friendliness is genuine, but Eddie sees right through it. 

He always wants to keep you just like this. Cuddled into his side, head resting peacefully on his shoulder and just enjoying silence as a movie plays softly as the only source of light in the dorm. He considers himself so undeserving but also the only one deserving of you. He lives to be able to just witness you, your essence… Just the mere fact of your existence is enough to make his life something worthwhile. He can strive to be everything you want, and be the only thing you need as you are for him. 

The friendzone is a fascinating phenomena to Eddie. He’s observed he provides the emotional support of a partner, but that final step of establishing a relationship just never arrives. It’s perpetually dating, but the outings aren’t considered to be dates. It’s frustrating, like many things when it comes to you. However, he knows you’re still getting over that asshole. He understands your fears and apprehensions, but it bothers him how they prevent you from realizing your feelings for him. He knows you love him, you show him that every single goddamn day. You just never seem quite there to commit the same way he does.

You just need a little more time, and soon enough he knows he can make you his.

OCs as other characters

got tagged by @bnbc, @shynrel-vp & @fereldanwench — thank you <3

Rules: take this quiz and share 5 (or more! or less! the world is your oyster!) results from the top 50 that you feel really fit your oc(s). if you don’t recognize very many from the top 50, feel free to expand into the top 100.

———

I'm not so familiar with all the TV series neither newer movies (just my picky taste), so do not wonder why same series/movies might pop up again in all of my boys bc I didn't know most of it.

RYDER

Best matches:

Bruce Wayne (The Dark Knight): 79%

YES. THANK YOU. Wie Arsch auf Eimer!

Wealthy dude, but fucks up all the mean people harmfull to the city! Just to mention that is enough here.

Jasper Hale (Twilight): 78%

fits best to him of all the Twilighters and I have to admit am a bit weak for Jasper also. I definitely see similarities! Ryder had 3(!) Twilight chars in the first 50 (edward had evven 82% but I don't see much of edward im Ry so Jasper). lol he's definitely vampire cursed — it's a total running gag! xD

John Smith (The Man in the High Castle): 77%

I ain't seen that comin' but yeah, the attitude kinda fits (I have only seen the first two seasons tho).

Darth Vader (Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope): 76%

Vader is one of the first characters that fascinated me as a small kiddo (and I love Anakin T_T) and I do see why there's a similarity.

Beast (Beauty and the Beast): 75%

T_T Yes, Ryder is a beasty prince for real, who got cursed. And well what can I say, other than this is fate?

———

THYJS

Best matches:

Legolas (Lord of the Rings): 80%

Faaaairyyyyyyy ��� there is indeed a lot of Legolas im him, when I think about it now.

Belle (Beauty and the Beast): 73%

FATE. Nothing else. Thyjs is Ryder's Belle, yo.

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope): 71%

In a world of Star Wars he'd definitvely have been a Jedi similar like Obi-Wan.

Gandalf (Lord of the Rings): 71%

Tbh I just chose Gandalf i nthe end bc of the same color xD maybe Thyjs will get as wise as Gandalf one day?

Glenn Rhee (The Walking Dead): 72%

I liked him. Heroic dude!

———

VIJAY

Best matches:

Brian O'Conner (Fast & Furious): 88%

THIS seriously fits. Brian O'Connor was a huge inspiration for Vijay, too.

Neo (The Matrix): 83%

Never thought about that but it makes … sense?

Lucius Fox (The Dark Knight): 82%

So that is why Vijay and Ryder work together, ah!

Marty McFly (Back to the Future): 82%

:DDDDDDDDDDD DeLoreaaaaannnnn, 80ssssss

Sam Winchester (Supernatural): 81%

I thought he'd be more like Dean all the time but given that he's got a brother now Sam's character might fit a bit better to him.

———

JAYSEN

I chose to do Jaysen as well because this might help me a bit more to find out his character. I took out only 3 of them, tho since I'm not entirely sure yet. Best machtes I think that might fit to him in how I think he's gonna be:

Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith): 82%

oh boy. I definitely see the Anakin attitude. maybe not the he went dark side part, tho. as in turn to corpo, be a mean charcter I mean. There's just something "dark" tied to him similar like with Ryder.

Billy Butcher (The Boys): 77%

I just do find this interesting. I need to rewatch The Boys.

Dean Winchester (Supernatural): 75%

Tbh, I saw a lot of Dean in Vijay already myself since he's one big inspiration ever since, but since Vijay got Sam in the results and I see Vijay as the more tame, calm and logical of the two twins, Dean would definitely fit to Jaysen here looking at it this way.

———

Dunno who has been tagged already, (if you have just one oc and did it already feel free to ignore the tag – I just thought of you <3)

Tagging:

@f001onthehill, @imaginarycyberpunk2023, @itzsassha, @kittenchrissy, @gloryride, @nervouswizardcycle, @breezypunk, @pinkydude, @afterdark-vp, @dustymagpie

Have you answered Q21 and 30 yet? Would love to hear your thoughts on those :o

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

hi chiko!

I think I tried so many different styles over the years, and bc of art school I can probably draw in cartoony or anime styles pretty alright, so I won't pick any kind of animation adjacent styles for this one!

Edward Gorey, Ronald Searle

Norman Rockwell, J.C. Leyendecker

Dean Cornwall, Mead Schaeffer

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

this one is tough! as I haven't been drawing a lot of full pieces/posting very very sporadically this year.

like what is considered "underrated"? is it notes? funny enough I think before the pandemic my art used to get more notes, so, would someone consider my recent works "underrated" in that sense? it's tricky. 🤔 I know it's easy to blame the algorithm but there are so many factors at play that we cannot qualitatively control for. being on the right platform at the right time, drawing for the right fandom at the right time, catering to a suitable audience, how you format the post (like do you show closeups or just post the full illust or crop your art? do you just post a video instead??), and a suitable caption (e.g. something witty, relatable, funny, or just something basic like emojis or just 1 word)

for me I consider a work "underrated" or underperforming (I think is a better word for it), is if the drawing is not interesting enough that nothing is said about it. either about either subject matter or artistic techniques. for me connecting to others through art is so integral to the artist experience. if a post gets 1000 notes but it gets 0 comments, then i consider it a failure. if something gets 100 notes but it gets many comments, i would consider it the opposite of "underrated'.

like would original drawings be more underrated than fanart? 🤔 people have trouble connecting to ocs since they don't know the source material, so often those kinds of posts would get less notes or less comments. just interesting things to think about.

it's easy to go into the archive and look at the older stuff that possibly didn't get seen around as much, but i'll try to pull some more recent pieces.

I think this 6 fanarts did badly in comparison to other works because the trend appeared in 2020 but I wasn't able to complete this that year ^__T and the trend didn't come back in 2021... guess I'm not a trend setter..................... sighs 😔 haha

I do want to try this kind of fanart compilation again though! I'm bad at drawing under pressure though so I would have to come up with my own prompts...

this Kekkai Sensen x Trigun piece! I think the crossover alienated fans of both series bc you had to enjoy both T__T and I also didn't draw characters from either series interacting so I don't think it ended up that interesting? bc I wanted to make this a diptych (it's clear that there's a middle divide now that I mention it) but the triptych didn't end up happening!

besides both being created by Yasuhiro Nightow, I haven't come across that many fans who are fans of both, actually...? it's not in the case where the author's work is more or less similar in tone (or same universe), like Baccano x Durarara, Pandora Hearts x Vanitas no Carte, Higurashi x Umineko. I think something like trigun x cowboy bebop would have worked better because people are always unfortunately comparing the two hahahaha.

[effingunicorns]

14, 23, 24 for the choose violence ask?

I know very little about fma but I promise to take all your fandom opinions on it as gospel.

you are exceptionally kind (◡‿◡ ) this post is now front-loaded as hell.

14. that one thing you see in fics all the time

god, how to pick? obviously there's the whole bottom Ed thing--I don't usually care about top/bottom discourse in m/m ships unless someone's trying to say Dean Winchester's not a bottom, but there are literally only 51 Roy/Ed fics on AO3 where Ed tops out of more than 4,000 total fics in the ship tag, or out of a little under 2,000 if you restrict it to mature, explicit, and unrated fic. That's 1-2.5%!!! and I wrote two of them!!! why does no one believe in variety here!!!

but it gets better, because there's also several things that scream "I don't know how to deal with the passage of time in canon". basically, due to a huge personal fuck-up, Ed starts canon with two prosthetic limbs and the ability to transmute things into new shapes with a clap of his hands, as opposed to studying and making advance preparations like anyone else. he's also incredibly short for his age. he slowly and measurably gets taller as canon goes--which is weird enough for a manga/anime even before you factor in that his being sensitive about his height is key to a running gag--and at the very end there's a sequence of events where his prosthetic arm gets destroyed, his brother sacrifices himself to get Ed's original arm back, and then Ed sacrifices his ability to do alchemy at all to bring his brother back, having finally learned the lesson that people are more important than power. then everyone lives happily ever after and Ed grows to a perfectly normal height for his age--arguably even tall.

so naturally every post-canon fic is Edward Elric Keeps His Automail or Edward Elric Keeps His Alchemy, or both at once, or both at once and not even tagged for, or not in a way that can be properly wrangled. Ed still being short is such a given that the only tag regarding his height is if he actually gets tall like canon says he does! and there's a frankly weird amount of self-loathing over things he never had a problem with in canon, or things he pretty clearly came to terms with--it's exactly like that post from the other day about characters who are funny or mean to conceal their real feelings getting mischaracterized because fandom is too focused on the chewy bits.

and all of this isn't even getting into the fics where he stays in the military, but there are other questions to get into!

23. ship you’ve unwillingly come around to

I wouldn't add it to my wheelhouse or anything, but I've learned to see where the Elricest shippers are coming from. Ed and Al basically raise themselves for most of their childhood. Most of their few age-appropriate friends are some combination of fellow genius, royalty, and assassin, and the rest of their friends are mostly adults who treat them as fellow adults. their respective concepts of normal are off on another planet somewhere, and so it doesn't seem like as huge a leap as I used to think for them to say fuck it and add another taboo to the list. sure, they screwed up hard on the last one, but at least this one isn't likely to cost them body parts, right???

24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

so far I've actively made an effort to not go searching things out. partially this is because stirring the pot in such an ancient fandom feels mean, and partially this is because I've got other wank to look at when I'm hungry, but legitimately I think most of the really bad stuff is buried in 15- to 20-year-old LJ comments, abandoned message boards, and the like. there's evidence of fancops in these lands, to be sure, but when the two actual most popular m/m ships in the fandom are 14-year age gap starring a teenager and brother/brother incest, and the most viable alternatives to either are all m/f, they don't really have room to shit all over everything.

(I kind of want to invite folks to send me evidence to the contrary so I can preemptively block, but I pretty much never get trouble here, so it wouldn't really make a difference 🤷🏻‍♀️)

the choose violence ask game! (or in app mode if my theme is too much)

[smokedanced]

GETTING TO KNOW YOU.

respond to the following prompts out of character. then, tag others that you'd like to get to know a little bit better!

ROLEPLAYER NAME: havu.

ROLEPLAYER PRONOUNS: they/them.

MUSE NAME: -inhales- charlie bradbury, chloe price (pending), clara oswald, dean winchester, edi, edward teach, ella finnegan, eloise bridgerton (pending), ever hayes, garrus vakarian, hannibal lecter, hurley reyes, iris hunt, izzy hands, jake takizawa (pending), jeremy bradshaw, jillian marks, juliet burke, kenna de poitiers, lucius spriggs, mary stuart, river song, tali'zorah, the tardis, tenth doctor, tyrion lannister, will graham. on other blogs, castiel, thirteenth doctor & wren shepard.

PREFERRED COMMUNICATION: tumblr im box is small, so discord is much easier for me to focus on, but either.

EXPERIENCE: over ten years on tumblr, nearly two decades overall (shit, i'm old).

PREFERRED ROLEPLAY TYPE: the best roleplay connections are those that are cross-genre. a lot of different tropes and moods for the same characters, to make up a vibrant story. a thread here, another there, no need to write them chronologically at all! i do have some favourite tropes (hurt/comfort, villain/victim, kink...) but even those work the best when included in a multigenre arc. so basically anything goes!

PET PEEVES & DEALBREAKERS:

any kind of making fun of and/or harrassing, bullying, making callouts, or trying to dictate other people's fictional enjoyment. i don't care if the subject matter is something i'm personally disgusted by; if you call people gross, freaks, weird, for the fiction they enjoy, if you reblog callouts that focus on fiction, i will unfollow/block you. boundaries are fine, a polite "dni if you write (topic)" is fine. but if you even push your pinky toe over the line towards making it anything more than a personal boundary, i do not tolerate that, and i do not feel safe around you.

not letting me know which muses you are interested in. the amount of people who follow me, but never do my interest tracker or initiate interaction (i'm ok with the tracker not being done if you send in stuff or just plain tell me in a message which muses you want to write with), despite this being in my rules, is frustrating. i can't read your mind. i can't just assume all of my muses are free game, unless you tell me that. i give people several months to do this before unfollowing, but eventually i will unfollow, as there is... no interaction. i will happily interact first, send memes, etc. if i just know what muses you are open to.

assuming i'm not interested/am upset with you if i don't respond to ooc messages fast enough. it's fine if it's a dealbreaker for you if someone is responding slowly, but you don't get to say i "wasn't interested". you don't know that unless i say that plainly. i rarely talk in real time. i take hours, days, weeks, even months to reply to people ooc. fuck, one of my best friends and i sometimes don't say a word to each other for over a year, and we still are best friends. i do try to not take literally months to reply to people's ooc messages, because it's not very productive in the sense of keeping plotting going, but taking days or a couple of weeks is just normal, imho, especially if it's not every message several weeks apart all the time.

PLOTS OR MEMES: a little bit of both! i prefer to plot a little at least, but whether that's before writing, or after sending some memes and writing a few responses, is all the same for me! i'm very flexible about this, though, so totally winging it, or plotting in detail, are both fine for me as well.

LONG REPLIES OR SHORT REPLIES: i'm fine with all lengths of replies, but medium, generally? i also think we should normalise reply length varying. if the muses are having rapid-fire dialogue, it makes no sense to write several paragraphs just to make the reply longer, when you need to give the other muse a chance to respond, anyway. and when there's a time-skip and descriptions of what happens in between, it makes no sense to try to jam it all in one little paragraph, a lot of the time. so whatever suits the reply? but also, 2-4 paragraphs as a general guide is my preference. single-para can feel too restricting, and over four paragraphs, especially if they're all chunky ones, makes it harder for executive dysfunction. don't worry about either of these, though! i think the best really is to just write what feels good for the reply, be that shorter or longer.

BEST TIME TO WRITE: legit this just varies, there is no specific time, although i do try to keep a regular sleep schedule (with varying results lol).

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES: no. i may have some similarities to some, but i am not extremely like any of them. i am actually jimmy price from hannibal. only half joking-

TAGGED BY: @serabellyms, thanks! TAGGING: please tag me if you steal it from me, i am curious! i don't want to tag anyone and make them feel obliged to read all this LOL.

Fullmetal Alchemist Live Action Casting Choices

As a disclaimer, I will be focusing on the actor and the English VAs and only on certain ones that stood out for me, for good or for bad

The Great

Keisuke Watanabe & Todd Haberkorn as Ling Yao - absolutely phenomenal, Keisuke is perfect for the role in both acting and looks. Costume, hair and makeup design was perfect too. Even when he becomes greed, everything is still so spot on. I wish we could have seen more of Greedling in the 3rd film. Todd as always does an amazing job with his voice, no flaws, he is Ling Yao.

Seiyô Uchino & ??? as Van Hohenheim - Seiyô was fantastic, the best iteration of Hohenheim I've seen. I prefer him to the brotherhood version. Seiyô plays him as a father who doesn't know how to be a father but is still trying and still fundamentally cares. He looks the part, he acts the part, his facial expressions are spot on. The VA (who I cannot find the name of, apologies) was pretty good. Nothing that stood out, but they did work perfectly together.

The Good

Tsubasa Honda & Caitlin Glass as Winry Rockbell - Tsubasa's acting was pretty decent, though a little over the top at times. The scene where she told Al off however was perfect. I do wish the costume & make up designers had let her lean more into her mechanic side. They made her a little too girly girl and while Winry does embrace her feminine side, she also embraces her mechanic side and I did struggle to see that. Caitlin was great as usual, she delivered some of the lines differently and some very similar. I almost cried at 'give them back, give me back my mum and dad'.

Ryôsuke Yamada & Caleb Yen as Edward Elric - Ryôsuke makes for a very good Ed, the facial expressions he pulls are great, his attitude is perfectly Ed, and when he needs to be soft he is. Caleb Yen needed to step in as the new VA after the first film for obvious reasons. I personally struggled with the change, but it was a change that needed to happen and overall I'm happy with how Caleb made his own version of Ed's voice. I enjoyed the 'huuuh???'s immensely.

The Meh

Dean Fujioka & Steve Phelan as Roy Mustang - Dean was... Okay. But he was a little expressionless at times. Hair wasn't right either. Steve again, was okay but just, didn't really get the gravitas of Roy for me. Together they did a decent job of a military man, but he wasn't always recognisable as Roy Mustang.

Atom Mizuishi & Matthew Moy as Alphonse Elric - We only see a little bit of Atom at the end and yeah he's decent enough, it works. Matthew did better than Aaron Dismuke in my opinion bc of the voice change from Brotherhood to the live action. I'm sure it was the age difference between when they recorded it which, understandable, can't help that, but I just didn't like the new voice Aaron picked. Matthew did better, but only just. It kinda worked when Al was in his armour. It did not work when he was Atom. At all.

The Bad

Mackenyu Arata & Parry Shen as Scar - I had no issues with the acting of Mackenyu, my main issue is with the casting in general. They did brown face. They didn't need to do brown face. Why did they do that. Just. Oh my god. Why. Everything else was fine, the acting, the costume, the voice acting but just... *sighs* Really guys?

Chiaki Kuriyama & ??? as Olivia Mira Armstrong - Now, Chiaki did amazing, looks the part, acts the part, etc... Moving on: Olivia is in this category bc of her English voice actor who I cannot find the name of. Her voice was completely wrong, she was straining to be powerful enough and the rest of the time her voice was too soft. Olivia isn't soft. You cannot get someone with a soft voice for her. None of her lines hit. She hesitated at times when Olivia wouldn't and it just. It was bad. She'd be in the terrible category if not for Chiaki.

The Terrible

Kanata Hongô & Brian Anderson as Envy - oh boy. Kanata... Kanata's acting was... Lacking, to say the least. He played Envy as more emo and uncaring, when in fact Envy is supposed to be batshit insane and constantly being a little shit and grinning or snarling when things suddenly aren't going his way. Brain was okay, he was trying, but he had limited expressions to work with, and his voice was too deep in my opinion and not snarky enough. For Envy's true form they got the voice right, but that was mere seconds, if that. Overall, very disappointed.

Monroe Ron & Risa Mei as May Chang - my main gripe is that, not only did they hire a person in their late 20s to play an 11 y/o child, but then that actor wasn't even that good. Sure she played the part, but she never felt like May. The costume hair and makeup were great, yet this still felt like a fan doing a very good cosplay without stepping into the roleplay aspect of it. Idk what child actor laws are like in Japan, but surely they could have gotten someone better at acting to at least warrant the age up if they needed an adult. Risa was fine, again, worked with what she had, though her voice was a liiiil too ear hurty for me.

Okay so I was reading this enemies to lovers bucky barnes one shot and well my phone switched off and I've lost it

So basically it goes like Tony and Steve send the reader and bucky for some time to Tony's winter cabin and well there's not enough food there and one bed and the couch dissapears and the rules are they can't say no

So bucky makes the reader call the pizza place but the reader tells him they'll only do it if he excepts that the last mission was his fault and then since he says that won't ever happen

The reader tells him to call the pizza place

"I want a cheezy pizza with extra cheese"

"Shut up"

Help me find it ahhh

HI

I lost this fic I was reading

Help

It was basically an Anthony Bridgerton x reader and the first half was just reader chatting with Colin Benedict and Eloise where Colin pulls the readers leg about being unmarried and the reader snips back and takes Eloise's hand

Uh she has a gossipy mother

The reader and Anthony share this passionate look and the reader goes to the lemonade stand to look around and spot Anthony but she doesn't find him instead this other guy I forgot his name shows up and starts talking to her she decides to ask him about his trip to Italy to keep him talking while she ignores him

Eventually Anthony takes her away from tha guy and they are in the garden and he's jealous and she teases him by asking him why he hasn't kissed her yet

AND THATS ALL I READ BEFORE TUMBLR RANDOMLY REFRESHED

SO HELP

My #1 post of 2022

Okay so I went to the page cause someone said they missed the book sucking scene and others said thank god its not there

Bur anyway the whole kate having a horseback accident reminds me of this one x reader fanfiction I read here

It was the same basic plot but the reader and Anthony were married and she was going to look for Anthony himself

I'm assuming it was inspired by the books but I love this

seventeen masterlist

| s - smut | f - fluff | a - angst |  ✒ - work in progress |  ★ - complete |

oneshots: to boil a frog - f, ★ you & Cheol go back, like way back. growing up together, you never felt anything more for him than a proximity based fondness, but things are a little different since you moved back to town.

multi-chaptered: we get along infamously - s, f, a, ★ you can never, have never, will never get along with Yoon Jeonghan, but unfortunately you have a chemistry that is simply undeniable.

room for interpretation - f, ★ as top of class, you and jeonghan had been many things to each other. enthusiastic rivals, begrudging allies, and…parties to a jokingly written (but legally binding) marriage contingency contract? this piece of paper would’ve been long forgotten had an unexpected merger not thrown you back into each others’ lives.

oneshots: cast me in a better light - f, ★ Joshua is a great singer and actor, you can admit that, but would it kill him to have some rhythm? The Christmas musical really will fail if you can’t figure out how to read his cues, but he’s wondering if you’ll ever realize that he’s sending you a different kind of signal, too.

drabbles: sit down - s, ★ joshua wants needs you to ride his fingers.

oneshots: edward scissorhands - s, f, ★ you can only describe your best friend Jun’s halloween costume as a yassified edward scissorhands. and you want him...BADLY? no...no that simply can’t be right.

swept off his feet - s, f, a?, ★ when you show up one night with the clear intention of confronting your cheating boyfriend, jun knows that he shouldn’t let you in. but he has such a soft spot for you and he’s so much bigger than Dean that it wouldn’t even be an issue if it came to a physical altercation.

drabbles: naughty cat of the week - f, ★ jun loves checking the naughty & nice cat of the week updates at your animal shelter. occasionally a rogue opossum makes the rounds and he can’t help but ask you about it.

oneshots: just deserts - s, a, ★ when wonwoo and minghao invited you to this fancy business event, it hadn’t really crossed your mind that they’d be busy working instead of entertaining you! perhaps you can find someone else to keep you busy, but those who misbehave always get their just deserts.

oneshots: i look good on you - a, ★ it’s been months since you and woozi broke up, surrounded by a series of strange circumstances, but you haven’t stopped thinking of each other and it shows.

oneshots: fixer upper - f, s, a, ★ you love your friends dearly, but do they really think that they can matchmake for their resident matchmaker? minghao’s certainly interesting, though, so maybe you can fix him up with someone else instead.

just deserts - s, a, ★ when wonwoo and minghao invited you to this fancy business event, it hadn’t really crossed your mind that they’d be busy working instead of entertaining you! perhaps you can find someone else to keep you busy, but those who misbehave always get their just deserts.

An Actress Life - Chapter 2

Chapter two

word count: 1,320 words

"This will be so nice to have my little sis on set." Jared says luckily,  but then his smile fades slightly. (He loves you like a little sister, although you're older than him xD) "What kind of role?" He asks concerned. You start to get nervous, so you just remain quiet. You already regret saying yes to Edward. 

"Uh-As the love interest of Dean." You look at the floor, feeling guilty and a bit stupid for accepting that job. He and Gen look shocked and concerned at the same time. "I don't even understand, why he asked for me." "I do, you're good at what you’re doing." He tries to smile, but all he can  think of is how jensen will be feelings about this change. "Guys, could you please stop looking at me like this the whole time….it’s getting uncomfortable." You say a bit nervously. 

"I know guys, I didn't think about Jensen and me. I guess it's better, if I call my manager and reject this offer." You grab your jacket and take out your phone to dial Ed's number. Gen and Jared look at each other, then Gen walks towards you and takes your phone away, quickly ending the call. "Maybe you and Jensen just should talk about everything...talk the whole thing out. Ask him if he and you are okay." Jared says. Jared is right, he kinda always is about things like that, but you’d never actually would admit to that.

"Are you sure? I mean you are his best friend, you should protect him of me. I know, I hurt him badly and I am sorry. I still feel really guilty about the whole thing. I let him go, for the stupidest reason. He was probably the best boyfriend, I could’ve ever had." You say with a deep sigh. "Wait, do you still love him?" Gen asks and you realize, what you’ve just said. "When yes, why did you left him?" Jared says disappointed and also kinda confused.

"I think I do. Why I left him? Because I felt so unloved and unwanted like I wasn’t good enough.” you say quietly. "Y/N, you're like a little sister to me, since we met in 2008 at the set of Friday the 13th and I am thankful for introducing that wonderful woman to me…" he points at Gen "but you're definitely dumb. I'm sorry, but Jensen was gonna purpose you and you just left him because you felt this way? Why didn’t you two just talk like adults?”  Silence, because you know he is right. You weren’t mature enough, you were like 20 or something, still a stupid child. 

"He loved you more than everything." He adds. You start to cry because you know he's right, even more than right and you hate yourself for this. Gen wraps her arms around you, hugging you close. "Everyone makes mistakes, it's okay." She whispers into your ear and puts you tighter to her as much as possible because of her baby bump."Y/N, I can't believe you're so dumb." Jared almost yells. Gen lets you go. "I'm sorry, okay?" You yell back. You’re are fighting for about five minutes and not noticing that Gen is trying to get both of your attention, for a few minutes now. 

"What's wrong?" You ask annoyed and look at her and you realise that there is puddle on the floor, already regretting how you answered her. "Oh my god." Jared says nervously. "Get her bag and get Thomas. I'll get the car." He nods and gets Thomas quickly. He goes to their bedroom, meanwhile you get Tom and Gen into the car. 

10 minutes later you arrive at the hospital...

"Just get Gen inside as fast as you can. I'll take care of everything else." You say. He nods thankfully. You park the car and take Thomas out of the car. During the drive Jared has called Jensen. This would be the first time that you see him after your breakup. You remember it wasn't that easy ,because the pressure made it a way harder for you two. 

You’ve been together for three years with him. These were the best three years of your life. You regret everything that happened so much, because you never loved a man like him. You enter the hospital with a sleepy Tom in your arms. Your heart stops, when you see Jensen for the first time, after five years. 

You feel butterflies all around your stomach, then you feel the pain and guilt in your gut. You swear you can see that his wonderful eyes are filled with anger, pain and luck. You go over to him, he tries to smile. "Hey, it's been a long, since we’ve last seen each other." He tries to be friendly. "Yeah, that’s true." You say with a weak smile. He glares all over your body and has spotted the ring on your finger. His small smile fades away. It's the ring your Grandma has given you, before she died 1 year ago. It used to be the engagement ring your grandpa gave to her. 

"They're already in, aren't they?" He nods and looks at the ring again. Tom wakes up. "Auntie Y/N/N." He rubs his eyes sleepily. "Uncle J." "Hey Buddy." Jensen says with an adoring smile and takes Tom out of your arms. You missed his smile so much. "How's life going's?" He asks. "Pretty good, what about you?" "Same old things." He smiles, you smile back. 

You sit in a awkward silence for almost an hour before Jared finally comes out and tells you that their second sun is born. His expression full of love and happiness. Y’all walk through the door to see Gen and the baby. "Hey." You whisper gently and smile at her and the baby. "What's his name?" Jensen asks. Jared and Gen look at each other. 

"Austin Shepherd Padalecki." Gen says a bit exhausted but happily. "And you two are gonna be the godparents." Jared says proudly. Jensen looks at you with a little smile, that you can see from the corner of your eye. You feel so indescribable happy that you're gonna be his godmother. Maybe Jensen and you will get closer again. "J can we talk for a minute?" Jared asks Jensen. "Sure." They go outside and you sit down on a chair. "Congratulations." You whisper happily. "Thank you." She smiles holding the baby in her arms. 

—Jensen PoV—

„Dude, congratulations." "Thanks." We hug. But then my thoughts get back to her, her beautiful hair, her beautiful y/e/c eyes, just everything. But when I look into her face I feel deep pain. She really hurt me, after her I didn't love a woman like her ever again. "Jensen?" Jared tears me out of my thoughts. "Yes?" "Everything alright ?" "Yeah, it's just I didn't expect to see her here after all those years." "I know, that's the thing. She got an offer from Kripke, she would play the love interest of Dean." My breath stops for a moment. "Would you be okay with that?" He asks softly and even a bit concerned.

 "I guess I have to." "Dude, I know how much she hurt you, maybe it's not the best situation." Jared says gently. "I guess I have to be professional and I will be just fine. Don't worry about me, just take care of Gen, Shepherd and Tom." I tell him. We go back inside the room. "Okay, guys I gotta go." She says and leaves the room. "J maybe you should follow and talk to her." Gen says softly. I think about that and she's right. "Okay you're right. Bye Gen." I hug her carefully. "I’m so happy for you, man." I tell Jared and hug him before leaving as fast as I can, trying to catch up with her.
