Okay so here's a weird (highly specific) gerische feel:
As far as I can prove (which is my mother's side of the family, but mostly her mother, because my biological grandfather was totally estranged by the time my mom married my father and I've never met him) I have no Jewish ancestry
However
I do have German ancestry and learned a bit of German in my younger years (but otherwise have no cultural connections to it)
My beit din was actually mixed minhag so I have the option of choosing Ashkenazi or Sephardi
I adore Sephardic food and music and liturgy, and if I were choosing a minhag in a vacuum I would honestly choose it, however,
When I learn Yiddish music and sing in Yiddish, it feels like home, like I was made to make these sounds and sing these melodies, and,
My body has a hard time processing food in general, but you know what it doesn't typically have issues with and which I actively enjoy eating? Gefilte fish, pickled herring, beets, shredded horseradish, garlic, pickles.... etc.
.......I may or may not have seasoned my bowl of matzah ball soup this past year at seder with shredded horseradish
Conclusion: I think my germanic heritage has ensured I remain painfully Ashkenazi and I should probably just embrace it lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(I still typically just follow the minhag hamakom, though, at least with davening)

i know there's a lot of issues around prevalence of fanon interpretations of the batfamily, especially when it comes to tim, but one thing i refuse to believe no matter how many comics may try to convince me is the idea that tim drake is tall. like look at him that is just a little guy
#dc#batfam#dcu#tim drake#don't take this too seriously pls#but i genuinely get so thrown by comic panels where he's almost the same height as bruce or dick#like no he's not wdym 😭😭#edit y'all i know he's canonically pretty short fjdksl#there's just a few too many random runs that ignore that and draw him the same height as other bats#which is what prompted this jokey post#i just wanted to be annoying and overclarify my post in tags no one will see everyone carry on pls sfhjdk

[ sober thoughts ] n. hischier
paring: Nico Hischier x fem!reader
summary : Nico appears on his best friend’s doorstep after the Stadium Series win and confessions are made
warning(s) : slightly drunk nico, mentions of alcohol (but no actual alcohol consumption involved)
author’s note : pls ignore any typos bc i thought of this while drunk and wrote it while tipsy so i will go back and edit when i am 100% sober. it’s a v short and cute thing that i wanted to write (even tho i am working on like 7 different requests rn)
༺═──────────────═༻
The moment ‘nico 🏒🤍’ appears on her phone screen, she thinks something is wrong. She’s especially worried because it’s nearly two in the morning. Something could be seriously wrong.
The last time they talked, Nico was getting in an Uber to go to the bar after they won the Stadium Series game against the Flyers. That was a half hour after the end of the game and nearly three hours ago at this point.
A very exhausted and confused (Y/N) quickly answers the phone as soon as she processes what’s going on.
“Are you okay?” she asks, voice slurred with sleep. “Do I need to come get you from the bar?”
“I’m outside your apartment building,” he tells her. “Can I please come inside? It’s so cold outside and I just played a game in this weather. Please let me in.”
She rolls over and turns on her bedside lamp before she walks to the window. Outside on the sidewalk stands her best friend and captain of the New Jersey Devils. He smiles up at her and waves. “Oh my God,” she gasps as she puts on a pair of slippers. “Why are you just standing outside my building like that?”
“Because I missed you and wanted to see you,” he tells her as she grabs her keys and leaves her apartment. “It felt very wrong that I wasn’t celebrating with my best friend after one of the most amazing games and one of the most beautiful moments of my career. If I woke you up, I’m sorry.”
Without tripping down any stairs, she says, “It’s okay. I was just worried you were passed out on the side of the road in East Rutherford.” She pushes the main entrance door open. “Yet here you are on my doorstep.”
Nico smiles and stumbles up the steps after he hangs up the phone when he sees her. He trips on the last step. She catches him and he catches himself on the doorway. She can smell the alcohol on his breath because of how close they are to each other, yet her heart races in her chest since they’re so close to each other.
“Are you drunk?” she asks as she backs away from him with a look on her face. “How did you get here? Don’t tell me you drove because I might kill you and your team is going to be left without a captain.”
“I’ve had a few drinks,” he admits to her. “I took an Uber because I did have a few drinks. I didn’t drive here. Don’t worry. I still have brain cells.”
Nico walks into the building in a hoodie and jeans instead of the tracksuit he showed up to MetLife in. She’s happy he is in actual clothes because if he showed up in that tracksuit, she might lose it.
“Why did you come here instead of going home?” she questions as they make their way up to her apartment. “I thought that maybe after the game you’d celebrate with your teammates then go home to sleep.”
They walk into the apartment as soon as she unlocks the door. “I told you that I wanted to come celebrate with my best friend,” he replies. She closes the door behind her. “Especially since I couldn’t get you into the stadium to watch the game. I wanted you to be a part of this day.”
She pouts and sits on the couch as Nico turns on one of the lamps. “Your family flew in for the game,” she says to him. “I shouldn’t take priority over them. I get to see you play all the time. They don’t.”
He sits next to her. Not too close but close enough where she can feel the heat coming off his body. If he were to move his knee, it would bump into hers.
“You’re my family too,” Nico softly says. “I wanted you to be there.”
“I’m your friend, Nico,” she sighs. “I’m not your girlfriend or your wife. I didn’t need to be there.”
It feels like she is trying to convince herself too because sometimes the line blurs. Sometimes she doesn’t know what she is to him. She has to remind herself that they aren’t together, and probably will never be together.
A moment of silence falls over them. She looks at her hands on her lap while she plays with her thumbs. Nico’s big brown eyes never leave her while she avoids looking at him.
Nico sighs and practically whispers, “I wished you were there as my girlfriend.”
Her head snaps up and she blinks at him. “You what?”
“I wished you were at the game as my girlfriend,” Nico repeats. “The entire time I wished that you were at the family skate and sitting in the suite with everyone else’s families. I wished you had one of those cute jackets that the wives and girlfriends had with my number on it.”
She stares at him until he’s done talking. Then she starts to shake her head. “You’re just saying that because you have been drinking,” she replies. “You don’t actually mean that.”
Never once has Nico shown that he wanted to be in any kind of romantic relationship with her. He’s never given her any kind of hint or sign that he wanted to be more than just friends with her.
They’ve known each other since Nico moved to the US in 2017 to play in the NHL and never once did it seem like he wanted something more.
There is no way he means that.
“Drunk words are sober thoughts,” he says.
“Then tell me when you’re sober,” she retorts. “Tell me in the morning if you actually mean it.”
Nico frowns and brushes a loose piece of hair behind her ear. “Schätzli, you have no idea how long I have wanted to tell you that,” he tells her. “I guess I’ll just have to wait until I wake up before I tell you again.”
Almost as if on cue, he yawns. “Go to sleep, Nico,” she says to him. “Tell me whatever you want in the morning. You know where the guest room is but do you need my help in getting there?”
He shakes his head and sinks down against the back of the couch. “I’ll get there eventually,” he replies. “You can go back to sleep.”
With a nod, she stands up. Nico’s eyes are half open so she takes off his shoes and pulls his legs up onto the cushions. She grabs a blanket to throw over him as he lets out soft snores. The alcohol has finally caught up to him and knocked him out.
“You have no idea how long I have wanted to hear you say that you wanted me to be your girlfriend,” she whispers to a sleeping Nico. “All it took you was having a few drinks and winning a big game before you told me how you felt.”
She presses a soft kiss to his temple before she retreats down the hallway to her bedroom just in case he wasn’t actually asleep.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
The smell of coffee is the thing that wakes her up in the morning. Not the sunlight or an alarm. Coffee. It takes a second before she remembers that Nico stayed over.
She remembers Nico telling her that he wishes she was at the Stadium Series game as his girlfriend. She has no idea if he remembers that he said that to her.
It’s time to find out.
Slowly, she makes her way out to the kitchen. She finds Nico standing at the coffee machine with his back to the hallway. She yawns and walks into the kitchen area.
“Morning,” she softly says so she doesn’t scare him. He turns his head and looks at her. “You making coffee?”
Nico nods and pours them both a cup. He puts cream in her cup and hands it to her. “I figured we could both use a cup,” he tells her. “Me to get rid of this hangover and you because I woke you up at two in the morning.”
She blows on her coffee before taking a sip. “How much of last night do you remember?” she curiously asks as she leans against the counter beside him.
The moment of silence that follows worries her. He probably doesn’t remember what he said, and she isnt going to remind him if he doesn’t remember.
He takes a sip of his own coffee before he asks, “Are you asking me if I remember telling you that I wish you were my girlfriend? Yes, if that’s the case. I told you that I meant it.”
“And you’re sober?”
“Very,” Nico replies. “And very hungover.”
It surprises her to the point where she almost drops her cup of coffee. Her eyes widen and Nico smiles. “Nico, I could kill you and kiss you at the same time because why did it take you playing in one of the biggest games in your career before you-”
Nico takes the cup of coffee out of her hand while she’s talking then cuts her off by bringing his lips to hers. She gasps in surprise then melts against him as he presses her against the counter. She wraps her arms around his neck and puts her fingers in his hair so he can’t break the kiss.
Never in her life did she think that she would be in her kitchen kissing her best friend of nearly seven years. The thought only occurred in dreams and occasionally during games when she found him attractive, which is really all the time.
This is something she has wanted for two years. Since the moment she realized that she was in love with Nico.
He lifts her up and sits her down on the counter. He stands between her knees and rests his hands on her thighs.
It becomes too much for her and she has to pull back for a second to breathe. Her eyes meet his and finds worry in them. “I just- I don’t think you understand how long I have waited for this,” she breathes out. “Wanted this. Wanted you. I just need a second.”
Nico smiles and pushes her hair behind her ears before he cups her jaw. “I’m such an idiot for waiting so long before I told you,” he replies. “I think I’ve loved you since the moment I met you, Schätzli.” His voice drops to nearly a whisper and his thumbs brush her cheekbones.
“We’re both idiots,” she tells him. “I’m glad you meant it though. I thought you were going to get my hopes up.”
He shakes his head and kisses her nose. “I would never lie to you about loving you.”
“Well I love you too,” she says. “Just so you know.”
Nico laughs and envelopes her in a hug. She smiles and happily accepts the hug.
“I told you that drunk words are sober thoughts.”
“I believe you now.”

genre: fluff
warnings: slightly suggestive, cursing

when you glance at him and smile
you were doing it again
it was the fifth time ghost caught your bright eyes glancing in his direction
and it wouldn’t have come to his attention, after all eye contact was given in accordance to common courtesy if you were discussing matters with someone, but you were lounging halfway across the room
ghost sat alone at the main table
a couple members surrounded you,, occupied in light banter and small talk
alejandro lightly nudged your shoulder, murmuring a casual joke that has soap roaring in laughter
their boisterous voices carry throughout the room which causes ghost to peer up at them
he couldn’t afford to lose concentration,, needing this alone time to debrief about the previous mission (i.e. which formation was most efficient, how many soldiers he still had left, if there were enough food rations)
but
taking a sneak peek couldn’t hurt
fiddling with the strap of his holster, he wordlessly tightens the garment along his waist and watches as the corners of your lips curl into a polite smile while engaging in small talk with the group
he spots soap place a gentle hand on your shoulder, the male twisting himself closer to you, as a way to balance himself while heaving over in laughter at another quip that alejandro shares
before he can think better of it, a ragged breath leaves ghost’s lips at soap’s blatant display of physical affection toward you
fortunately unfortunately his balaclava doesn’t muffle the noise of disdain which causes soap’s attention to snap to him
“somethin’ you want to add, Lt.?” soap challenges with a raised brow, “might need to come closer so we can hear ya.”
soap graces a sly smirk, inadvertently mentioning how ghost was literally the only one that strayed away by being halfway across the room
and soap’s attempt at pestering the other male is glaringly obvious,, especially from the way his hand still lingers around your shoulder
there’s a soft chorus of chuckles that erupt from the rest of the members but you simply await the lieutenant's reaction to the lighthearted prod
ghost doesn’t take the bait though
“I’ll bear it in mind,” he bluntly acknowledges while readjusting in his seat
he wasn’t entirely against the idea of mingling but found that restocking/readjusting his equipment was the first priority
the lieutenant’s casual response leaves the squad speechless,, most expecting him to reprimand soap from the insinuation and their astonished gazes are fixed on him
ghost, however, continues to nonchalantly estimate the amount of ammunition left in his weapons
that is– until a subdued giggle fills the empty air
and he’s aware of that specific sound, doesn’t need to glance up to affirm his belief because it always tugs at his heart in an unfamiliar way
yet, his dark gaze still deviates to find yours
“my apologies. it was just really quiet.”
your voice is meek in comparison to earlier now that ghost’s scrutiny is trained on you and the detail leads to him raising a light-toned brow
the top of his balaclava crinkles due to the action,, a small humane feature that you desperately cling onto
soap also dropped his hand in response to your small outburst and satisfaction creeps up at ghost
he nods once, ease swelling within him at the sight of your untouched shoulder, before returning to concentrate on the equipment in front of him
“yer aff yer heid, bonnie,” soap whispers to you once light chatter erupts again, “I’d sure fix his problem.”
“what’s his problem?”
“the mask,” the scottish male huffs like it was obvious, “it’s always on–”
“I quite like it.”
you quickly interrupt soap’s rambling and he groans upon seeing your infatuated smile and usual faraway glint in your eyes that you adorn whenever you stare at ghost
much like you were committing now
��it’s the mystery,” soap wildly runs his fingers through his mohawk while attempting to explain your interest in the lieutenant, “that’s why the bonnies like him.”
“well,” ghost’s listless eyes reach yours and you finish your confession in a wishful exhale, “I don’t blame them.”
and ghost recognizes the look you’re casting him
that bashful yet alluring glimmer in your stare that has him placing down whatever equipment he was holding so he could rightfully return your gaze
and of course he hears your breathy disclosure,, revealing more than he’d bargained for
but he’s steadfast, not planning on tearing his gaze away, when you abruptly break eye contact with him
ghost blinks– once, twice, three times– upon losing your heated scrutiny an emptiness threatens to swallow him,, his body maneuvering to repose in your direction
legs stretched in front of him, he edges closer to where you stood while crossing his hulking arms
but you’re caught in conversing with someone and his finger taps idly on the table to patiently await the moment your gaze sweeps over to him again
it’s almost pathetic how he waits for your eyes to fix on him
however, when it does, he almost lets out a frazzled breath from beneath his mask
restocking his equipment could wait for another time because you grace him with one of those beguiling smiles that beckons him over– inviting the tempting risk and enticing danger that accompanies ghost wherever he goes
he catches you red-handed when you give him a slow once-over,, dragging your half-lidded eyes across the expanse of his massive physique but finishing your scan with an appreciative simper
and that’s when he finally moves
firmly pushing out the chair from beneath him, his robust legs carry him towards you in a resolute stride
a knowing grin dances on your lips due to his advancing,, the sight as clear as day when ghost shoulders past the members surrounding you
he doesn’t mumble any apologies
instead, he presses himself so close to you that he can distinguish your rapid heartbeat from beneath your fitted shirt and the cadence causes his head to tilt
his ebony eyes narrow upon seeing the growing blush, a shade of rouge, overtake your cheeks and the innocent reaction would’ve fooled him if he didn’t know what you secretly were
a vixen
he dips his head lower and the next words he utters drips from his tongue like smooth ambrosia
“see somethin’ you like, doll?”
-
your voice
ghost had a love/hate relationship with missions
on one hand, he was going in blind about the amount of recruits he’d lose
It was a constant risk of precious lives, one’s that had family/friends/people waiting for them back at home, with every mission
yet, leading the squad through missions kept his mind still,, rendering him too busy focusing on basic survival than fighting the incessant thoughts within his mind that strangled him during his free time
the loneliness, mental exhaustion, and emptiness eating at him until he could no longer stand it
but there was also you
“bravo 0-7, how copy?”
filtering through the radio’s static, your voice is carried through as a gentle melody in ghost’s tactical headset
the question cuts through the debris that he crushes beneath his heavy boots
he recognizes a heavy exhale from one of the recruits following behind him and he raises a hand to silence them
hearing your voice directions is crucial
but secretly, he’s glad that the higher ups invested in the latest technology so he could hear your voice clearly
especially the soothing inflection of his alias
“this is bravo 0-7,” he replies, never one to delay his responses to you
“lieutenant.”
and he’s familiar with that pleased tone that’s shared in the troop’s comms
the teasing purr of his rank visibly causes some of the newer recruits to freeze in their movements,, mind straying to less than innocent scenarios from the way you uttered it
before he can control himself, he casts an annoyed glare at them that (of course) goes unnoticed by you
his haunting eyes narrow considerably to wordlessly serve as a threat for their childish behavior
“(y/n),” he directs his attention to the seedy enclosure before him, “give me a reading.”
there’s a minute of silence, which ghost anxiously listens for any background noise that indicates if you’re in danger, before your voice crackles, “enemy ground cluster spotted. wiped them out asap.”
“atta girl.”
unbeknownst to him, your finger hovers above the communication button so the shaky exhale you let out from his praise isn’t heard
and he’s aware you had to excuse yourself due to his subtle approval
“target destruction confirmed,” captain price’s authoritative voice reminds ghost to refocus on the task at hand, “heading to the next destination.”
the squad synchronizes their movements to head south, in accordance to the enemies’ location
“where are your sights at, (y/n),” ghost implores while readjusting the mic so it sits snugly over his mask
unfortunately, his finger unknowingly bumps against his equipment and puts the two of you in a private channel
which you decide to take full advantage of
he casts a cautious glance in all directions before gesturing to the recruits to fall in behind him
it’s silent besides the branches that ghost prods away while he trudges through a clearing
steadying the throwing knife in his hand, he recognizes the cool metal while the weight of the weapon is slight in his grasp
as light as a feather
he’s more than accustomed to the ridges, grooves, and feel of the knife,, using it in necessary combat situations
but his dependable grip, the one that’s effortlessly shoved the weapon into countless enemies, falters when you answer his inquiry in a breathy voice
“my sights are locked on you, lieutenant.”
and it’s a line that could be taken two ways: you were watching ghost’s six or you were solely engaged on him for personal reasons
the fact was– your gaze was trained on him
it causes satisfaction,, scorching hot which spreads through him and keeps him warm in the chilly weather
and your utterance is as sweet as sugar that ghost is certain that you spout liquid honey when you part your lips
he reasons that’s probably why your lips are always so glossy whenever he sees you
ghost shifts, eyes trailing to the distant watch tower that you’re situated at, and slowly shakes his head
you were up to no good
“you’re trouble,” he reprimands but there’s no bite in his tone, “be good, will ya?”
“and if I’m not?”
there it is again, the sultry tone that drips from your voice to infer that there’s a double meaning
he halts to a stop, dragging a gloved hand over his face in an attempt to regain his self-control, and fights back a strangled groan
“come here then, pup,” his voice is so low-pitched that it serves as an inviting taunt, “say it to my face.”
and his self-restraint is thinning, becoming nonexistent because of the dangerous game you were playing
the desire to remind you of the high risk that accompanies cheeky comments floods within him
turning away from the other recruits to maintain some privacy, he’s initially pleased when he doesn’t hear your immediate retort
it seemed like you were finally learning that fueling fire wasn’t always the safest decision
but goodness did it create an indulgent buzz
and he curses under his breath when your brazen response crackles through the comms
“you serve our country,” your lips curl at the ends as you breathe out, “I just want to serve you.”
-
when you laugh at his jokes
honestly ghost wouldn’t coin himself as being a “jokester”
prefers if the other members told jokes to keep the mood lighthearted,, which he knows is essential to keeping up morale during missions
but if the time comes then his quick thinking is perfect for him to conjure up a joke or two
granted, it wouldn’t be the best jokes
ghost’s humor could be described as— interesting
very interesting
and a consensus that the other squad members agree with is that his jokes lean more towards dark humor >.>
like don’t get them wrong! dark humor could be used to transcend heavier emotions and share stronger emotions,, which is especially the case for ghost but they prefer to keep the jests easygoing (for the most part)
and ghost doesn’t really mind when his humor is overlooked in most situations since he understands it’s an acquired preference
but boy do you live to test him
“please? can’t you tell me at least one?”
you were at it again,, forcing your hands together while you conjured up all your effort to make your bottom lip quiver in a dramatic pout
leave it to you to corner ghost in the hallway right when he exited the maintenance room
caught him by surprise too! had to abruptly halt to stop the front of his tactical vest from bumping into you since he almost didn’t spot you because you were tucked so close to the doorway
he had raised a single, sharp brow to wordlessly ask if you needed anything from him,, mostly expecting that you’d usher him somewhere else to gather next mission’s intel
but ghost didn’t predict that you’d practically raced across the base just to ask him to tell you a joke
“just haven’t heard you tell one to the task force,” you casually explained which only added to his confusion
and he doesn’t know what aided in your curiosity to hear one of his jokes since you never disclosed how it had been a topic discussed among the group,, about how hearing a joke from ghost was a rarity
a part of you wished to prove them wrong
so you drew your lower lip between your teeth and dragged your eyes up until they were leveled with his
“please? for me?”
he can hear the lighter pitch of your voice when you’re pleading like this but he remains unmoving,, only crossing his arms to watch the act you put on
the corners of your mouth fall almost unceremoniously upon noticing ghost’s impassive front,, the goal of hearing one of his jokes slowly floating further and further away from your grasp
when you press yourself close enough for him to get a whiff of your sweet perfume, however, he rasps, “don’t do that.”
“what?”
“you think every time you say, ‘please? for me?’ I’ll do whatever you want,” ghost chides while slowly shaking his head, “well, not this time.”
because he knows better than to give in to your every whim– no matter how insignificant it was
it would build a bad habit if he always agreed to taking on your work or tasks,, which would evolve into small demands that he’d be burdened to complete along with his personal work
at least, he thinks he knows better
but then you nibble on your bottom lip and softly ask again, “please? for me?”
and he finds himself huffing out a heavy breath, dragging his gloved hand across his face, and uttering, “fine.”
so he stiffly stands there, lost in thought, until a couple awkward moments of silence pass
by this time you weren’t expecting much, assuming that ghost would rely on a cliche joke to tell you since you hadn’t given him much time to prepare in advance
but his throaty voice knocks you out of your stupor, “what do you call someone who just got run over by a tank?”
and there you go– you had all that you desired since ghost managed to tell you a joke
he observes how you tilt your head,, mind racing in response to his joke before you ultimately give up with a small shrug
his eyes follow the gentle curve of shoulders before meeting your gaze again
ghost figures that he’d answer for you
“crunchy.”
a beat of silence,, ghost glances away
there’s no way he would’ve envisioned the feedback you’d give him in return to his (rather) dark humor but hearing your overjoyed giggles made him think he’d hit the ultimate jackpot
“that’s a good one,” you manage to compliment between your fit of laughter, “I liked it.”
your hand outstretched to gently shove at ghost’s arm,, aware of the solid mass that served as the top of his bicep and you immediately withdraw your hand at the realization
peering back at you, he recognizes the mirth that swirls in your eyes and notes the pride that swells within him
because you’re laughing at his joke
the intensity grips at him,, threatening to never let him go so long as you’re next to him
it’s addicting
he quietly continues staring at you as your mouth curves into a delighted smile
and he tries to memorize the action,, comparing your smile to the brilliant half-moons that he’d spot in the dark skies during nightly missions,, and the sight is almost too beautiful to avert his gaze from
similar to how a person that enjoys art ogles at intricate and exquisite paintings
before he rethinks his decision, he decides to speak up
“don’t smile at me like that.”
and although it sounds like a reprimand, the words leave his lips almost tenderly as he gazes at you
-
saying “please”
you weren’t typically one to complain about a long, drawn-out day because learning how to cope with them was part of your job
but today just wasn’t your day :(
from hauling extra equipment across the base, getting a light scolding from the higher-ups, and waiting for directions while in the frigid air– it was exhausting
not to mention that the oncoming headache, as well as chills, indicated that sickness was upon you
and as the back of your head hit the couch’s plush pillow,, your relieved exhale was a huge indicator that relaxing was the dream for you
yet, having time to rest was too good to be true
as price ushered the rest of 141 to gather around, there was a debate to enforce lookout duty for the night
just the usual scouting for any navigation marks, ships, or hazards,, which was more difficult to spot in the dark
there were clear directions given to the members on who would be put on lookout duty
and what do you know, it was your turn to lead
so you’re absolutely dreading your shift, desperately attempting to shrug the burden off to someone else
“soap,” you hesitantly call out before the task force members could waltz to their own rooms, “do me a solid and trade shifts with me, will you?”
there’s a flicker of consideration in soap’s cerulean-colored eyes when he notices your lack of energy and enthusiasm towards lookout duty but he’s unwilling to give up his few hours of rest as well
“am pure done in. I can’t stay awake,” soap explains with a grimace, “sorry ‘bout that, bonnie.”
forcing the frown on your face to turn into a stiff smile, you allow him to brush past you while you reassure him, “I understand.”
then you were onto your next victim comrade
“how about you, gaz,” you shift closer to the sergeant just before he leaves, “mind taking lookout duty from me?”
he pivots using the heel of his foot, not quite expecting that you’d ask because you were usually the first to volunteer for the shift, and raises his brows
gaz tips his cap in your direction to serve as an apologetic gesture, “afraid I can’t, (y/n).”
and just like that, the entirety of the squad leaves you standing in the main room
defeated
your eyes catch the burnt-orange hue casted along the horizon, signaling that dusk was upon you and your stalling would be inevitable
with a huff, you’re about to leave the room to situate yourself at the observatory deck when you catch sight of a lingering figure
“lieutenant?”
upon hearing his rank, ghost glances up from his task of dusting off his handgun and crumples the dirty rag in his hand
he’s leaning against the edge of the table, feet spread apart to stabilize himself
his dead-set eyes wordlessly prods you to continue talking and you force down the lump in your throat, “sorry. I was just surprised to see you still here, that’s all.”
he’s clearly exhausted
the usual tenseness in his shoulders has slowly diminished to where he appears withdrawn
yet he thumbs at the weapon’s magazine and your eyes watch as the design on his gloves seem to dance at the action
ghost nods once,, not one for small talk and you internally groaned at that late realization
silence ensues
when an idea pops into your mind– why not ask ghost to take your watch duty?
he’d understand, right?
inklings of doubt begin to gnaw at you but you were utterly desperate for rest tonight and your headache was worsening by the second
“sir,” you meekly initiate before you have the chance to back down, “would you be willing to take my lookout duty shift?”
your voice wavers, it’s blatantly obvious, and the anxiousness urges you to ramble on, “sorry! I don’t usually ask others to switch with me. it’s just been a really long day and I think I could benefit with some sleep. which, now that I’m thinking about it, anyone would benefit from sleep since everyone’s exhausted from the mission but what I’m trying to say is–”
ghost raises a gloved hand
it’s a silent command to get you to halt and he rises to his feet
you note the way his eyes deliberately scan the room before taking a step in your direction
his tactical gear rattles,, the clasps slightly swinging due to the movement but he crosses the space between the two of you with ease
the close proximity is perfect to get a glimpse of his opaque eyes which are obscured from smudged eye paint
tucking his index finger underneath your chin, he lifts your face so you’re forced to maintain his stare, and his pale lashes flutter when he narrows his eyes
“use your words.”
the command is throaty, gruff, and deliciously low
it takes you a second to regain your composure, inwardly stunned at how enticing his voice sounded, and decide to take a moment to gather your thoughts
his touch is warm
and ghost’s gaze was specifically fixed on you
however, his hard stare flickers when your teeth gently tug at your bottom lip while you ponder the most effective way to get your point across
you would need to use your final resort to sway ghost into covering your shift!
“I’m just not feeling the best right now and would really appreciate it if you took lookout duty instead.” you explained in sincerity
it’s a good tactic– great even, but it wasn’t the final trick up your sleeve
but it didn’t matter what you were explaining to ghost (whether you were giving him a half-assed excuse or ultimately feeling unwell) because he wasn’t listening,, too focused on the glimmer that shined within your wide eyes
and the sparkle became more apparent under the dim light
ghost’s grasp tilted your chin upwards,, he’s silent and awaiting your next ploy
he, however, wasn’t expecting the next word to tumble from your lips in a soft, pleading whisper
“please.”
his restraint runs alarmingly thin,, his finger that’s tucked underneath your chin twitches and the desire to encourage you to say it again is evident
“what was that?”
the question is uttered so dangerously low that you gulp before softly repeating, “please, lieutenant.”
and goodness did you look alluring while voicing it
he’s at a standstill
not to mention that he delights in the unwarranted swipe of your tongue over your plush lips,, wetting them just enough to shine
and as he’s staring down at you, you’re peering up at him but he’s so unbelievably tall that you crowd yourself closer
bloody hell
the warmth radiating off your body reminds him of your proximity and before he can fall victim to your coquetry he reels back
who was he to tell you no?
“fine.”
it’s a simple response uttered by ghost that immensely pleases you and you can’t help but wonder how permissive he was about it
“really?” you question, brows shooting up in surprise because it was rare for the lieutenant to willingly volunteer to cover someone else’s lookout duty
he drops the hand holding your chin and nods once
busying himself by rechecking his handgun for full ammunition, he chastises how easily he made his decision
can’t blame him though
ghost would’ve been a goner if you continued pleading to him using your expressive eyes,, the ones that cause his fingers to inch closer to hold you
the most dangerous weapon he’s faced (in all honesty)
and he’d rather NOT be rendered speechless in front of you
he tucks the gun into the proper spot on his holster and turns to leave in accordance to his end of the compromise
but not before he coolly mentions, “you should do that more.”
you’re confused but ultimately satisfied to have finally issued your shift to someone else
head tilting due to ghost’s comment, you decide to clarify what he meant
“do what more, lieutenant?”
“beg.”

*the set up is a big living room, there’s two couches, mics propped up. the room has a very calming aura, there’s fairy lights and blankets on the couches. as well as plushies and throw pillows. on the couch to the left, kat, riki, and you are seated, adjusting your seating positions to be comfortable. on the couch to the right, jungwon, giselle, and sunoo are seated. jungwon sits back down after standing and gets comfortable*
jungwon: okay the camera is on now

jungwon: brooke dated HIM?
sunoo: YES! that’s what i’m saying
jungwon: look at his teeth he probably has gingivitis
kat: ugh his breath probably stinks all the time
*you and giselle come back into the room, confused at the conversation at hand and taking your seats. riki stares at his phone confused then looks to everyone else*
riki: wait he’s not a ginger
yn: what?
riki: his hair is brown idiot
jungwon: wait what are you talking about
sunoo: riki are you on the right account stupid
riki: i literally am. you said he has gingivitis, he’s literally not ginger
*giselle gasps and starts laughing, causing the others to laugh. riki laughs nervously*
riki: what
giselle: gingivitis means the tar on your teeth, not being a ginger
sunoo: oh my god *wiping his tears away, still laughing*
*riki groans, making everyone laugh, once collected jungwon clears his throat, sitting up*
yn: thank god we came back to that
giselle: i know
riki: okay guys that’s enough it’s not that funny
sunoo: oh it is.
jungwon: alright, can we sign in now?
*jungwon looks to everyone and they nod, each getting comfortable in their spot*
jungwon: beep beep! you’ve arrived in yap central im your co host for today, mario.
riki: and i am your second host, luigi
jungwon: starting from the far left we have
kat: yoshi *in yoshi voice, waving to the camera*

giselle: princess peach! *she gives the camera a peace sign.*
sunoo: and i’m toad *he giggles at his hat, the top of the toad.*
yn: i think out of everyone’s i love kats costume

sunoo: guys riki discovered your mom jokes today
kat: well your mom has ligma

*everyone bursts out laughing at the immature joke. sunoo does not look amused yet still laughs along*
jungwon: it’s the way i saw it coming too
riki: i saw your mom coming
yn: pause??
sunoo: oh that’s not
giselle: boyfriend! i’m nervous!
*you, kat and giselle all giggle at her little reference*
riki: wait no-
jungwon: dude my mom watches this
riki: i’m sorry miss yang i didn’t mean it
jungwon: SHES MARRIED.
riki: okay then what do i call a married woman?!?
kat: mrs, not ms.
riki: see was that so hard. *riki looks to the camera, interview style.* i’m sorry mrs yang i promise i will never say anything like that again
jungwon: yeah she doesn’t watch the pod man, but thanks for apologizing to all the mrs yangs out there!
*you and kat hold back your laughs as you look at riki. riki then rolls his eyes and jungwon earning a smile from him and opens his phone to the questions he has pulled up.*
riki: everyone ready for the first question?
*they all nod, shifting in their seats a little to get adjusted. you sip from your water, giving your attention to riki and making sure the mic doesn’t pick it up.*
riki: it’s kinda deep, is it easier to love or be loved.
giselle: *gasps* that’s good one
jungwon: it came from the patreon
riki: since i asked the question let’s start on the other side, sunoo.
sunoo: i think being loved has like a feeling you can’t replace you know.
yn: i agree, it’s like everything comes like full circle when you’re being loved by someone. it’s a really good feeling.
sunoo: i do think though, to give love and to be loved has like its cons too. say if you were in a one sided relationship and you were giving love to someone who wouldn’t want it back, it hurts a lot.
jungwon: it’s just draining on the person overall.
kat: but i feel like if you were on the other side of that isn’t it equally as bad? you know if you were being loved by someone who you didn’t love back it’s just another issue because you feel like you owe them your love
giselle: i agree with you, kat i do but i think it’s so much more tolling on the person giving love because it’s like you’re giving a part of yourself to someone else to cherish and hold.
sunoo: wow that was poetic
giselle: i know right?
kat: yeah i get what you mean
giselle: giving your love is just so much deeper. sure to be loved is such a great feeling but giving your love isn’t just surface level, it’s like you actually love that person so much, and it’s so passionate too.
riki: but that can be said for the other perspective too
giselle: you’re right
yn: i honestly think being loved is something everyone gets to experience once in their lifetime, it’s not only limited to intimate relationships
jungwon: ahh you have a point
yn: you get to be loved by your parents, friends, anyone really who cares about you. it’s a good feeling and i think that almost everyone should have that kind of feeling in their lives.
sunoo: what would you describe it as?
yn: i think it’s different for every relationship. like for example being loved by my family is the thing that nothing can replace, it’s like a warm hug after a long storm. it’s familiar and it’s a feeling that i just think i would give the world to have all the time.
riki: im the same way, even though i don’t live near my family anymore i miss them like crazy all the time. like my moms hugs.
sunoo: ughhhh my moms hugs, im gonna drive by and hug her after this
kat: are you gonna open the door and just give her a big fat hug and leave
sunoo: you make me sound like a situationship who fucks you then leaves
giselle: not our fault you worded it like that
jungwon: i agree with you though yn. i do think that being loved just offers so much more than just intimate relationships.
riki: i do too. but i see giselles point too. why did i have to pick the best question ever. *riki groans but smiles in the process, making kat slap his arm.*
sunoo: you just wanted an ego boost.
niki: perhaps.
jungwon: i think that it’s a tie, both of them have their pros and cons
kat: that’s a good way to end it
sunoo: didn’t know it was a deep podcast today
riki: sorry *laughs nervously*
yn: no it’s okay i liked the question *you smile to riki, rubbing his shoulder*
giselle: yeah same
jungwon: well then you guys are gonna like this next segment.
kat: wait let me guess would you rather?
jungwon: no
kat: scenarios?
jungwon: no kat-
kat: opinions on the [BLEEP]?!
*the group look to each other, then burst out laughing.*
giselle: fuck i’m gonna have to edit that out
kat: what?
sunoo: we cant talk about the [BLEEP] thing remember.
yn: yeah or else it’ll be our neck. according to [BLEEP]
jungwon: guys stop bringing it up now we have to bleep all of that
kat: sorry.. *she smiles nervously at jungwon and giselle and they both wave her off*
jungwon: what i was trying to say is that our next segment is blind ranking
sunoo: oh my god i love these
yn: same
jungwon: topic is first dates
riki: okay well i can’t participate i’ve never been on an actual date
*sunoo moves his mic away to laugh at riki, riki stares at him to shut him up*
jungwon: yeah that’s why i chose it for our episode dumbass. anyways there’s five of them so here’s the first one. a music festival
kat: oh my god 3 duh
yn: ehhhhh 5?
kat: *gasp* what
giselle: yeah im with yn
sunoo: yeah 5
kat: why that’s so fun
yn: it’s too sweaty like i had to be super comfortable to even go to head in the clouds with riki and won
giselle: i feel like that’s cool to do if you’re already dating but first date? i don’t think so
jungwon: majority rules sorry kat
kat: yall are fake
riki: okay next one is a classic, the movies
sunoo: honestly 4
giselle: maybe 3 i don’t know it’s very like highschool
yn: yeah i see what you mean. i think it’s just weird because what if you’re watching a popular movie and neither of you really like it. also you can’t really talk to get to know the person
jungwon: personally this is a 5 for me
kat: it’s so like.. middle school
riki: doing that damn arm stretch.
*everyone laughs at riki’s joke as he fake yawns to stretch his arms and put it around kat, making her laugh even harder.*
jungwon: i was abusing that card in highschool
yn: it’s so corny eww *laughs*
kat: no it’s kinda smooth if someone can pull it off
sunoo: i remember i did the counting shoulder thing in middle school
yn: oh my god i remember that
riki: i never heard of that one
kat: like 1, 2 *she counts her own shoulders* and 3 *she puts her arm behind riki, him laughing as she did it*
giselle: that’s a good one
jungwon: so movie 4?
kat: yep movie 4.
yn: this is so fun
jungwon: the next one is go karting
sunoo: OOOOO
yn: might put this as a 1
kat: okay but what if they choose a really really good one for the last one
yn: ugh you’re right
sunoo: im saying 2
giselle: lowkey 3
yn: noooo its so fun. like its playful and it’s not too much talking where it awkward. and then after that you can grab food and talk
riki: that honestly sounds perfect
kat: okay you’re convincing me
sunoo: let’s stick with two because i know they’re gonna pick a good one
giselle: okay yeah 2
riki: next one is eating. like going out to eat
yn: 3 it’s a safe choice
giselle: yeah it’s safe
sunoo: oh my god what’s the last one i’m excited
jungwon: sitting at your number 1 spot is a date in the park
kat: oh..
*you and sunoo side eye one another, and start laughing*
riki: you guys fumbled
giselle: ugh we should’ve put go kart at 1
jungwon: i would’ve put go kart at 1 too
yn: okay park isn’t that bad
sunoo: no it’s bad imagine all the bugs. and there isn’t a single cute park where we live
kat: that’s definitely 5
giselle: yeah i agree
yn: what time are we at won?
jungwon: about an hour. you guys ready for a break
riki: yep, i’m gonna go grab water
kat: yeah i have to use the bathroom
*riki and kat get up, moving their mics. they both walk out of the room. the rest of the group continues to scroll on their phones, checking notifications. giselle laughs and sets her phone down*
giselle: did you guys see the top albums of all time? from apple music.
jungwon: *snorts* yeah, yn what’d you think about the list
yn: oh i loved it, i think there was too much classic rock on there but my girl lauryn hill sitting pretty at number 1
sunoo: i love that album, like it’s so good
jungwon: frank ocean was top 5 i think we’re getting an album
*giselle laughs, shaking her head*
giselle: i fear we won’t be getting one for a while.
yn: no but imagine not knowing who lauryn hill is?
*sunoo and jungwon side eye each other but stay quiet to let yn go on*
yn: you must have some shit music taste if you don’t know lauryn hill is all i have to say
sunoo: must be an alpha male
*giselle, you and sunoo laugh. jungwon looks at sunoo, holding back a laugh*
jungwon: cmon we weren’t gonna talk about it
yn: speaking of alpha males let’s talk about alpha male podcasts. have we ever covered that?
giselle: don’t think we have
sunoo: it has to be rage bait
jungwon: well no have you seen andrew tate, he was like so serious about it.
yn: i think alpha male podcast are so stupid. like you must be so sensitive about your masculinity if you have to run a podcast all about it.
*riki and kat enter the room, taking a seat*
kat: what are we talking about?
jungwon: lauryn hill and now alpha male podcasts
riki: i fucking love lauryn hill
kat: alpha male podcast should be wiped off the face of the earth
giselle: and they invite like instagram models on there and like flame them for no reason
jungwon: they are like the bane of this existence
sunoo: honestly is it just me or like recently has there been an uprise in podcasts
giselle: no i get what you mean
yn: i think when all those like old youtubers started doing podcasts they became popular again.
riki: everyone and their mom has podcast
kat: dude we have a podcast
riki: yeah.. we’re everyone and their mom keep up
*you laugh next to him, shaking your head*
jungwon: you guys ready for the last question
giselle: mhm
jungwon: so as surprising as it is we’ve never talked about aux etiquette on this podcast. what do you guys think proper aux etiquette is?
giselle: i think proper aux etiquette is playing music that everyone listens to
jungwon: yeah.. *jungwon glares at kat, making you and riki laugh. kat furrows her brows in confusion*
kat: um hello im an amazing dj
sunoo: you’re in fact not
yn: yeah babe
kat: *scoffs* what! wait do you guys seriously not like my music?
riki: well no it’s just whenever you’re on aux-
jungwon: which is all the fucking time
*you and sunoo laugh*
riki: like i was saying whenever you’re on aux, you always try and get us on to the music you listen to and it’s just shitty house music like *starts imitating one of the songs*
kat: you guys don’t appreciate taste
jungwon: you mean noise? yeah we don’t
*kat laughs*
sunoo: hot take i really don’t want music when im hanging out with my friends
yn: your worst take yet
sunoo: okay what the fuck
riki: i’m sorry but pitch silence? fuck i’d go crazy in a car with kat and yn
yn: rude
riki: you two talk soooo much
kat: not our fault you’re a nonchalant emo
jungwon: *laughing* fuck
giselle: i agree with sunoo to an extent like it depends on what we’re doing. if we were going to a club or something i’d want to get hyped up but on the way back i would want to debrief
sunoo: yeah i agree with that
riki: let’s rank us in terms of aux
jungwon: kat is dead last
kat: your music taste isn’t amazing i don’t know why you’re talking
jungwon: least i can admit it
sunoo: the girls are fighting..
yn: i think it goes kat in last, then sunoo
sunoo: wait what
yn: your music taste isn’t like versatile. no hate it’s just not great on aux
sunoo: yeah well yours is shit too
yn: don’t care *you stick your tongue out at him making him stick it out back, the two of you giggle*
giselle: i think first place is between riki and yn
yn: my brother just another me
*you and riki fist bump each other, giggling*
jungwon: it’s gonna go to their big fat egos
riki: frank ocean is never gonna release an album ever again
jungwon: take that back
riki: your mom
kat: as much as i hate to say it jungwon might be second. it’s tied between you and giselle
sunoo: so we agree that kat should never get aux
giselle: she’s always fucking arguing for it too
*the group laughs*
yn: like damn if you’re gonna fight for aux atleast put on music we all like
kat: ugh fine i will next time
riki: next time im getting aux
jungwon: we’re gonna hear emo music the whole ride
riki: to be emo is to be free
giselle: rikilations
sunoo: what time are we at?
jungwon: an hour thirty ish. should we end it?
kat: i mean did you guys have any other questions
riki: nah i didnt, did you? *he looks to jungwon*
jungwon: nope
giselle: okay sign us out then
riki: thank you for staying with us today at yap central we hope you enjoyed your stay.

How To Fucking Write: a guide by fairyhaos
[masterlist]
this post details:
STARTING A STORY
PACING A STORY
hi gays and gals and welcome to "how to fucking write", a post (series) where i talk about how i brainstorm for writing, plan for writing, write the writing, and everything in between. nothing too serious here lmao, but i'm definitely planning on making at least a couple posts on this bc a) it's fun and b) i wanna help! so if you find this useful then pls lmk by reblogging + drop an ask if there are any specific things u want me to give my two cents on ^^
okok and now without further ado,,, let's look at the topics i'll talk about in today's post!
#1 - HOW TO START A STORY.
.. bullet point one : have an idea
the first big thing is that you need an idea. doesn't matter if you're a pantser and don't plan out your writing before you start. that's totally fine! but before you begin, you need at least an idea: maybe it's a vibe, a character personality, a specific journey you want the characters to go on. maybe it's a piece of dialogue. maybe it's the ending- the point you want to end up at after however many thousand words.
whatever it is, it's best to have some inspiration, some idea of what you wanna do. no point in writing if you don't know what you're writing, you know?
(of course, that brings up the issue of Having An Idea in the first place, but finding inspiration to write is a whole other can of worms we can open in another post.)
.. bullet point two : practice
okay, so now you have an idea. how do you put that idea to paper? how should you actually start your story?
it’s all to do with practice.
it’s the most annoying piece of advice in the world, but it helps so much. you just have to write lots and lots and lots, to find the way that works for you. whether you wanna start your stories with pretty scene descriptions, with dialogue, with dramatic one-liners. finding your voice, your style, what’s most comfortable for you, is really really important. and takes practice.
an example, though: for me, i prefer either a line of dialogue, or one-liners that a) help immediately establish a character’s personality or can b) introduce an interesting setting.
[chan + swingset] — one-liner example
[hoshi + silly] — dialogue example
but of course, everyone’s style is different. so i’d recommend playing around! find a list of one-word prompts and just write a few that inspire you, writing the beginnings. it’s important, also, that you’re having fun, because if you’re already struggling with starting to write, it’ll be even harder if you’re doing it while feeling stressed.
.. bullet point three (mostly just for longer fics)
maybe you don’t find a style, in the end. maybe you’re comfortable with all of them, which is totally fine! but then you look at your writing, and you think, “oh… this isn’t as good as i thought.”
and it makes you want to give up. what do you do, then? how do you carry on with your start?
just put words to paper. it doesn’t matter if the words are terrible, if you’re making up shit and using placeholders for description words or whatever. just carry on, get to a place you’re happy with, like the end of a scene, or maybe a dialogue exchange you really like.
because now, guess what? you’ve successfully created a first draft.
making first drafts is actually so important. seriously. first drafts allow you to fuck up, allow you to write terribly. they help you fumble and trip your way to the finish line (or at least a rest point) so that you can go back and do better.
even if your first draft is terrible, it’s helped you make your way to a point you’re happy with. now you have a vague idea of what you want, even if the description or characterisation or something is way off. because now, you can edit it, or even scrap it and use only a few words from that draft in your next one. or maybe, if you look back at it, maybe it’s even decent enough for you to use.
whatever it is, when you first start writing that story, think of it as ‘The Worst Draft’. because it probably won’t be as good as you want it, and it’s okay. just write, with no fears of it being bad, because that’s literally fine. it’s not set in stone. the backspace button exists. after your first draft is made, make another. and another, and another, because i promise, after that first draft, it only gets better from there.
#2 - PACING A STORY.
.. bullet point one : adding things
pacing is always really tricky. however, i do think that slowing a story down is easier than speeding it up, so here we go,,,,
finding out the exact way to slow down a story really depends on what type of story you're writing, but there are a few all-round things you can do which can help pretty much any setting.
if it's a scene with loads of dialogue, and things feel like they're jumping to the end topic too quickly, add descriptions. your readers are blind, writers, and they depend on you to be able to see what's going on. are your characters having a conversation on the street? take a break to describe what they see. are they in a coffee shop? maybe someone comes in with a huge noise, or their coffee arrives at their table. are they hanging in midair with nothing around them? well, describe the actions of the character they're talking to, then.
example: (from my seoksoo fic bc it's the only long fic i'm working on rn)
by adding character descriptions, movement, thoughts, instantly everything seems to have slowed down. it thickens time, allowing you to move at a more leisurely pace.
if it's a scene full of action, you can do the exact same thing. maybe there's a high-tension moment and something significant happens. slow down time there, describe something small in great detail. talk about the thoughts they're having.
and even if it's just an ordinary scene, describing is important. the setting, the characters' actions, their thoughts. it's okay to write too much. then you can delete things which make things feel like they're moving too slowly.
.. bullet point two : delete
not gonna lie, finding out how to speed up the pacing of the story can often be really specifically tailored to the setting of the story.
with stories that have loads of action (spy, apocalypse, etc) i'd recommend adjusting sentence length. you'll want short, punchy sentences, without loads of commas and clauses, but you'll also want to experiment with having those short sentences gradually get longer. it helps with tension and suspense.
it has to be short. running fast. something to elevate fear. quick, but also desperate, before they then spill over each other, picking up pace, all of the thoughts blurring together and going faster, and faster, and faster, and then-
then the penny drops.
people use the metaphor of music a lot, and it really does work that way. it needs to ascend to its climax: gently, cautiously, before sprinting upwards and only describing things like the barest emotions (the fear they feel, the panic, anger, anything) before everything reaches its peak and comes crashing down in a flurry of action descriptions.
but of course, the easiest way to speed up something is to delete. delete swathes of setting description. delete unnecessary dialogue. delete an entire scene and rewrite with only the things you remember (which can help make sure you only have the essentials in your scene, btw. very helpful).
it might take a bit of adjusting, rewriting, moving things around, but ultimately, quickening the pace of the story depends on the way in which you write things. be concise, be dramatic, and don't dawdle.
... and that's it ! if anyone has anything else they want advice on (how to structure, how to write dialogue, how to plan etc) then just shoot me an ask, because i'd love to help however i can :)

"Hey! Hey, are you okay?" Rain's worried voice somehow managed to reach your ears despite the intense ringing. You squeezed your eyes shut and opened them but the blurriness took some time to disappear.
You found yourself clutching at the person next to you, who turned out to be the forearm of your boyfriend—Tyler.
Tyler's hands hugged your sides, his soft movements brought you comfort despite his trembling hands.
He kept mumbling a string of “It’s alright” and “We're okay now”
You knew you had escaped, that the door was locked, and all of those creatures had no way in, but your heart still raced like crazy in your chest.
You could still hear Tyler's shouts when one of those monsters lunged at you, it's little legs clutching the sides of your face. If it wasn't for Rain, who grabbed the tail of the creature and threw it away with a scream.
As the adrenaline slowly wore off, you felt a stinging pain spread around your left thigh, a groan leaving your lips at the sudden feeling. You grasped your leg, frantically lifting your jeans.
“F—Fuck.” You mumbled breathlessly when you saw the blood gushing out of the cut, just above your knee. You must've cut yourself while running for your life like a madwoman.
“Andy! Andy, what can we do?” Rain's voice caught the synthetic’s attention.
“We must apply pressure and find something to clean and disinfect the wound.” He spoke, his calm voice coming to contrast with the situation.
Tyler's fingers slid down to your back, gently rubbing it as Rain stood up to look for things that might be useful.
When you followed Rain with your eyes you noticed the blinding white walls of the room and the multiple desks that were organized in squares.
“Hey, hey.” Tyler's soft tone brought you back to reality and you turned your attention to his worried face. The boy wiped your forehead and pushed back the loose strands of hair that clung to it, fingers trembling slightly “You're goin’ to be okay, yeh?”
He waited for you to nod to continue. “We have Andy here, he knows what to do.” The softness in his voice significantly changed when his attention moved to the android. “She's going to be alright, yeh?”
Andy took a moment to answer. “Yes. If we clean the wound thoroughly then Y/n will be able to recover relatively soon.”
A small “see” accompanied Tyler's smile when he turned back to you.
Rain finally sat next to you, dropping the first aid kit on the floor with a loud sound. She pushed her hair behind her ears and opened the little red box, quickly taking out bandages and cotton balls. She wet a cotton ball with alcohol and passed it to Tyler before unrolling the bandages.
You were too busy trying to ignore the pain to realize what was happening until Tyler held your shoulder tighter, putting all of your weight on his side.
“Goin’ to hurt a bit, love.” He mumbled against your forehead.
A loud cry escaped past your lips when the soft material made contact with the cut. You felt Tyler's hand hold you closer and Rain's hands push you back by the shoulders when you tried to pull away.
“It’s okay, ‘t’s okay” Tyler murmured against your earlobe.
The boy quickly removed the material, his breath rigid as he held your shaking figure in his arms.
Rain took advantage of your seemingly disoriented state and quickly wrapped a bandage around your thigh.
Your quiet sobs echoed in the spacious room as Tyler held you close to his chest while spewing out soft, encouraging words.
“She should rest and the bandages should be frequently changed but—” Andy spoke after all of you had fallen quiet, pausing momentarily to gather the right words. “We cannot wait.”
You snapped your eyes to the android, breath hitching at the implication.
“What?—No—No, Andy we're not leavin’ Y/n behind,” Tyler warned, holding you tighter.
“Tyler’s right, we aren’t leaving her” Rain agreed, walking closer to her brother and holding his forearms. Maybe she hoped that she could somehow channel the old, sweet Andy.
“Those creatures aren't going to wait—” Andy began but Tyler didn't let him finish.
He hooked his hands under your knees and back and lifted you with him as he stood up. The boy paced forward, getting intimidatingly close to the android “I don't give a flying fuck! I won't leave her behind.” He spat out.
“Tyler, I'm okay, I can conti—” You attempted to defuse the situation but he dismissed your words with a shake of his head.
Rain tried to hold onto his bicep but he ignored her and walked towards the closest door to you. It was, as expected, closed. Tyler groaned and kicked the metal door, shaking you a bit in the process and making you hiss in pain.
After Rain's silent pleas, Andy ended up giving in and opening the door. Tyler stepped in as soon as there was an opening, not even waiting for the door to fully slide open.
The room was way bigger than it looked, like another fucked up lab, similar to the rest of this section. There were multiple doors leading to other smaller rooms.
The boy checked the rooms, holding you close to him until he found one with what looked like a hospital room. This must’ve been the recovery room from whatever experiments they were doing.
Carefully, he lowered you into the hard mattress with a “There we go.” You took a sharp breath when you tried to straighten your back.
“Hey, lie down.” He told you and gently pushed you down against the mattress.
“I don't want to lie down.” You replied through gritted teeth. “I want to get out of this place.”
“We will. Once you're better.” He reassured. His calloused hand reached your warm cheek.
The more time you rested the more the pain was slowly dying down and you could finally notice your boyfriend's worried features more clearly.
His big eyes stared right back at yours, all wet and worried. He rubbed your calf, trying to soothe you as much as he could.
The sight of him was enough to make you tear up. You really could've died and never see him again.
A quiet sob left your chest as you pulled him closer, ignoring the sudden pain in your thigh. You hugged his shoulders, holding him close to your chest. His arms immediately hugged your waist, holding you tightly as if you were going to turn into dust and disappear if he let go.
You refused to pull away for a long while especially when he slid his cold hands under your shirt, his fingertips squeezing your warm and sweat-covered flesh.
“If it wasn't for Rain—” He began and sighed deeply, unable to even imagine what would happen if your friend wasn't quick enough. “I should've been next to you! I—”
Hearing him talk like that about himself was excruciating and you had to bite your lip to stop your tears from spilling.
You could've told him dozens of different things to disagree with, just like you always did when he was doubting himself. But this time you didn't have the strength to argue.
So instead, you cupped his face and pulled him away from your chest. He looked at you confused before you pulled him closer, connecting your lips.
He hugged you tighter and sighed into the kiss when you buried your fingers in his hair.
Quickly the desperation and need overtook both of your senses and what started off as a gentle kiss deteriorated into something else. Something messy and urgent.
Tyler's hands roamed all over the delicate skin of your back. A surprised moan escaped you when he leaned closer, pushing you even further into the mattress, not giving you any time to breathe.
But you didn't want to breathe. You wanted his lips, his hands.
You need him to extinguish the fire that felt like it burning you alive.
Your hand moved from his messy hair down to his neck and body, lightly scraping your nails against him until your palm rested on his crotch.
The space between your brows creased a bit when Tyler hesitantly pulled away.
“What happe—” Your question was cut off by the boy's breathless reply.
“Love, we can't. I want to, I really do—you know that—but you're hurt”
Your other hand rubbed his cheek as you spoke “We're stuck here and we don’t if we'll even get out alive.” You began and you could already see the conversation was making him uneasy. “If something happens.” He was about to object but you didn't give him the opportunity. “I want to spend these last moments with you, Ty.”
Tyler's gaze was melancholic before he connected your lips in a soft kiss once again. “Don’ say that, Y/n” His tone made it sound like he barely believed his own words.
“Or maybe I just want to get in your pants, who knows?” You joked and the boy had a hard time keeping his disapproving front, a small smile threatening to appear on his lips.
You pulled him back to your lips and this time you didn't sense the same hesitation from the boy, just caution.
His lips moved slowly against yours to savor the moment, like he was trying to remember your taste.
He rose from his seat next to you but you didn't have to chase after him since he crouched, refusing to separate from your lips.
The boy leaned forward, bringing his hands to either side of your head. His hands slid down to your sides, grabbing your waist.
You let out a small gasp when his hand instinctively wandered lower to your thighs.
“Sorry, sorry!” Tyler apologized and pulled away.
“It's fine.” You quickly reassured him when you saw how quick worry appeared in his eyes.
You didn't give him time to worry more over that little mishap, quickly pulling him back to your craving lips and that seemed to work because the boy immediately reciprocated.
His hands carefully lifted your shirt and slid lower, fingertips gliding along the flesh of your stomach.
The carefulness and attentiveness of his movements made your cheeks burn even more. Tyler was always like this and it never failed to make your heart flutter. No matter how mad or pent up he was there was always an underlined gentleness to his movements even if he was going faster or rougher than usual. It was things like this that made you feel lucky to have him.
You couldn't help but bite your lip when he left a path of quick kisses from your ribcage to your lower abdomen.
He pulled himself up, bringing his face close to yours once again. He hooked his finger on the waistband of your pants before his eyes met yours momentarily—as a silent question for permission.
You quickly nodded, giving him a string of encouraging pecks on the lips in anticipation.
Your breath got caught in your throat when his hand slid under your underwear.
You aren't sure if it was the adrenaline or the intense need you felt—maybe it was both— but you didn't care one bit about your injured leg. The pain and fear were long forgotten, replaced with lust and desire.
Your bruised lips parted in a soft gasp when you felt his rough finger gently enter your tight folds. The soft motions of his finger send a wave of relief and pleasure through your body. His other hand came to rest on the side of your head, brushing some strands of your hair behind your ear.
He pushed another finger in, his thumb gently circling your swollen clit. His eyes never left yours even when yours closed shut as you threw your head back with a moan.
“Fuck I love you so much,” Tyler murmured, lips trailing down to your neck.
The small room was filled with the wet sounds that followed every time he thrust his fingers in and out of your inviting core combined with the sounds of lips leaving open-mouthed kisses on your flushed neck and collarbone and the soft moan you let out every time he curled his finger inside you. Tyler pulled down the collar of your shirt, continuing to plant kisses lower.
When you felt his mouth harshly suck on your sensitive skin you knew you couldn’t take it anymore.
“Ah, Ty…” You gasped, finally opening your eyes.
The boy reluctantly pulled away from you, his eyes meeting yours as his chest rose and fell, mirroring your own breathless state.
The sheer amount of need in his eyes forced a whimper out of you. You ran your hand over his messy hair as you pleaded “I want you.”
His breath was ragged as he gazed down at you and you swore you felt him twitch against his pants when you said that. “I’ll give you anythin’ you want, my love.” He grunted, quickly pulling you closer to him for a hungry kiss.
You whined against his tongue when his fingers abandoned your gushing insides and instead reached for his belt, quickly undoing the buckle and lowering his pants just below his hips.
“Ty, please…” You didn’t need to beg, you knew Tyler would give you anything you wanted and all you had to do was ask yet the small whimpers and pleas always left your lips at times like this. The way you batted your eyelashes, his name rolling out of your tongue like a prayer always made Tyler lightheaded.
Damn, he would really give you anything you’d ask for.
He grabbed your leg, effortlessly arranging you to lie on your side in hopes that this position wouldn’t hurt your leg too much. You winced when the flesh of your right leg came in contact with the cut on your left hip but you pushed it away.
“Ah fuck, Tyler…” You moaned breathlessly, your back arching when he hastily pushed himself deep inside you, seemingly as desperate as you to be squeezed by your walls.
“Shh…” He cooed, resting his forehead against the side of your head.
“Ah—Ty!”
You really tried to be quiet, really. But how could you do was moan as his cock hit your velvety insides so blissfully?
Tyler’s whispers didn’t help you be any quieter, his lips brushing against your ear as he told you how good you were doing, how good you felt, and how he could stay like this forever.
His own quiet moans and groans mixed with yours, filling the room as he moved his hips quickly. You scrambled to find his hand that was resting on your hair and you held it tightly, intertwining your fingers together.
The pleasure was now becoming unbearable the harsher his movements got earning surprised “ah ah ah”s from you after every deep thrust. Suddenly, you were very grateful that you locked yourself in the lab's farthest room.
“My perfect girl.” He whispered making your toes curl in your shoes.
You felt him repeatedly hit that familiar spongy over and over again combined with his thumb cycling your clit so good send you over the edge with a silent moan, jaw hanging open as you felt your release wash over you.
You knew Tyler wasn’t too far either by the way his short nails dug deep into the flesh of your waist, holding you down as he fucked you through your orgasm, desperately chasing after his own.
Tyler gently wiped the drool off the side of your lips, hips stuttering against you, losing that steady rhythm he set and becoming increasingly clumsy before he attempted to pull away.
“No, Ty” You squeezed his hand in yours. You attempted to keep your voice from breaking and continued, the overstimulation was making you dizzy “I want you to finish inside me.”
His eyes widened at that. Never before have you asked him of such a thing. Both of you knew you preferred for him to wear a condom rather than get stuck in an uncompromising situation yet you could feel him twitch inside you.
The thought of your possible doom in this awful place by whatever those creatures were, made you want—No, Need to feel him as close as humanly possible.
“Are you sure, my love?” His tone was gentle when he asked you, completely opposing his gravelly voice and the way he squeezed your waist.
“Please, babe.” You begged.
You cried out when you felt him move again. Tyler leaned closer, locking lips with you in a deep kiss. You rolled your tongue around his, moans escaping your lips every time his cock drilled into your sweet spot.
“Fuck—Fuck you feel so good…Lettin’ me fill ya full—” He groaned against your ear and with one last push you felt him spill deep inside of you, painting your velvety walls white.
“Tyler!” You moaned as he pushed deeper once, twice and then he stilled against you.
For a while, all you could hear in the room was panting before you spoke “I love you”
“I love you.” He didn’t miss a beat to reply, leaving a small peck on your forehead. “I’m not going to let anything bad happen to you.”

AHHHSHFBTKFNTLFKGNFMDM SONIC 3 TRAILER SONIC 3 TRAILER SONIC 3 TRAILER IM LOOSING MY SHIT RN
here’s some things i noticed/wondered/loved:
- i think in that scene where tom is on the ground yelling for sonic, he is wearing a special forces suit. maybe he upgraded from cop to working with gun?? if so i think that’s a really good use of his character actually! he wanted to save a life and raise a family above all else yes, but he still got his previous dream of doing more serious cop work!
- shadow just. has a big ass portal?? like holy shit he’s just suckin the life outta earth and ig that’s one way to do it (or maybe it’s just a ring and i’m stupid idek)
- i’m sure we’ll learn more about this in the actual movie so i’m not too worried, but i’m super confused at the very beginning scene. apparently sonic didn’t change his heart…but he did tho? like he learned what being a true hero meant in the last movie. tbh i feel like that’s enough but hey i’m not against more character development for our boy so!! (also that bit where he’s like “in my lungs” was actually really funny to me, ben schwartz’ awesome delivery caught me off guard)
- GERALD ROBOTNIK ALIVE HUUUUH?! tbh i would’ve preferred if maria was alive, i feel like that would be an interesting dynamic. but also ig that would make it harder for shadow to learn anything so i totally get it. anyways i’m just glad they’re putting a little twist on the story, it keeps it interesting. they already sorta did that with the knuckles and iblis thing actually! (even if that show sucked ass and although that probably wasn’t intentional 😭)
- even tho bro only got like… 3 lines, i really think keanu fits shadow. he’s very soft spoken in comparison to the rest of the case which feels nice. also he’s like the “really bad” guy so ofc he’s not gonna be yappin on and on like sonic or robotnik and he’s gonna take things uber seriously.
- where was my girl maddie :( i think she was only in like a singular frame. hope shes in the movie a somewhat significant amount. i heart pretzel lady!! could live without wade tho like pls im so sick of his bowling soap opera 💀
- FAT ROBOTNIK FAT ROBOTNIK FAT ROBOTNIK!!! after fucking 3 movies they finally fulfilled jim carrey’s wishes!! let the man get creative like please i love jim carrey sm aughdfhfnfmschxj. also love how we got so much stobonik content within that short scene like jesus come get y’all’s food
- shadow at one point says something along the lines of “when we’re done, there won’t be anything left.” maybe i’m reading WAY to into this but what does the “we’re” part mean?? is he working with others? i feel like this is either gonna be team dark or some new movie exclusive character(s). edit: someone made a valid point that he’s actually probably referring to gerald (look at reblogs!)
-CHAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lowkey wonder if the room therye in is like an amusement park or somethin like that
- no sign of amy :( but honestly my prediction now is that she’s gonna be the post credit scene teaser cus they always do a new character reveal there. first tails, then shadow. and honestly now i think it might be better that way so shadow can have a chance to breathe and show his story in full. i’m pretty sure i vaguely remember colleen (tails’ VA) being kinda mysterious about amy’s appearance when asked, and also the fact that it was confirmed that this isn’t the end of the movie franchise/universe. but ig we’ll just have to wait and see!
so sorry i stated this yesterday morning to give my initial thoughts but then got busy and completely forgot to post/finish it. and today i started (and am close to finishing) a very long edit of the trailer, so be on the look out for that too!
genuinely i feel like this movie is gonna somehow be even more record breaking than any of the previous movies and i am so here for the hype 🙏
#sonic#sonic the hedgehog#sth#sonic fandom#sonic movie#shadow the hedgehog#sonic wachowski#knuckles the echidna#miles tails prower#amy rose#stobotnik#dr ivo robotnik#robotnik#agent stone#wade whipple#maddie wachowski#tom wachowski#sonic movie 3#sega sonic#analysis#predictions#sonic 3#sonic adventure 2#chao

am struggling to find inspiration to write slytherin so here's some nightmare fuel instead 💀 also pls tell me it's not just me the yellow font is gone and i am in despair (gave zs green instead bcos he's pretty much a 🐍)
YANDERE! CORMAC MCLAGGEN VS YANDERE! ZACHARIAS SMITH
• on todays edition of shit no one asked for: the most cursed pair of yanderes. just imagine for a second being stuck with two yanderes, already a situation of itself, but two douchebag yanderes, now that's just comically unlucky.
• cormac and zacharias are pretty much at the bottom of the yandere foodchain — paired up against anyone else and no doubt the other yandere comes out on top, but what if we take other yanderes out of the equation? what if our dear darling / reader doesn't have to deal with groups of snakes and eagles? (cormacias smithlaggen)
• i feel like both cormac and zacharias's obsession would be someone who doesn't have many people around them. because fundamentally neither are smart nor talented enough to come up with an elaborate scheme to trap the darling, the only way to 'get' their darling would be to drag them into a draining and boundless friendship.
• despite being incredibly similar in the way they 'yandere', their biggest difference is how they treat the darling: to zacharias, his darling is the only person who matters in his life, whilst cormac is simply obsessed with the idea of them, whether it be for their looks, intelligence, reputation, they're the person he wants to spend his life with, whether they like it or not.
• whilst their motivations might be different, both are preoccupied with 'keeping' their darling, feelings and emotions be damned. sure, zacharias wants his darling to be happy, but without him? he wants to wipe the smile off their face whenever he see's them with anyone else. they can be miserable, unstable and depressed, he doesn't care and he'll deal with whatever mood swings they throw at him. the one thing he won't deal with is his darling being away from him.
• zacharias might be the 'sweeter' (i use this term loosely) of the two, but that by no means implies he'd be fine with sharing. zach can barely share his darling with themself, and has pretty much attached himself to their hip. he doesn't bother having other close friends or caring about other people, zacharias only needs you and you only need him.
• but what exactly is he going to do when cormac comes onto his darling? the gryffindor just inserts himself into their perfectly content life and acts like their boyfriend, and broke his nose the one time zacharias dared tell him to (looks down) get lost in the forbidden forest and get [redacted] by a centaur-
• cormac? he's worse, he objectifies his darling in every way possible. he might not see exactly see them as an object, but he has trouble taking any of their emotions seriously. you don't want to spend the night with him? sounds like a you problem, love </3. is he happy when they're happy? sure, but does he give a rats arse if they're uncomfortable? mclaggen doesn't even notice.
• despite his less than savoury traits, cormac isn't opposed to sharing, and might even prefer it, as long as he gets his daily darling time, does it really matter if there's another?
• he might even become more tolerable as a yandere sharing, maybe it's the competition being the darlings favourite becomes, or maybe it's just the 'good' influence from watching zacharias bend over backwards to make their darling happy, but he slowly starts to care.
• albeit, still in a himbo, macho way. pricked your finger? cormac happily marches to and from the hospital wing to bring his darling a bandaid. broke a bone? (because cormac didn't catch you in time after throwing you down the stairs) he won't let his dear lift a finger (literally, you tried to get up and he kept pushing you back down).
• one thing they can agree on is that the darling is not allowed any privacy or agency in this relationship, you don't want to kiss? too bad, pucker up love it's time for the 4pm make out session, cormac called first dibs today!. you want to study for the o.w.l's? suck it up, nerd, it's hogsmeade day, zacharias is taking you to the three broomsticks and cormac has a game later that you have to cheer at.
"oh come oon!" zacharias whined as his arm was once again pushed off by m/n, but he did not let up, and once again slung his arm around the others shoulders "how much exposure therapy do i need to put you through, mate" he dragged them along, walking towards the quidditch pitch that was slowly piling up with students, all eagerly waiting for the match to begin.
m/n let out a sigh of relief as zacharias finally removed his arm, instead gripping onto their forearm and guiding them up the stands "we have to get seats at the top, cormac bet me five galleons he could high five me on his broom — there's this new quill at scrivenshafts i'm dying to get"
the match felt like it was never going to end, the screaming of gryffindor and slytherin as each team got a hold of the quaffle was deafening, and his eyes were to stay glued to cormac the entire match, he couldn't gaze at any other player even for a second, especially potter, or else-
"potters got the snitch!"
the sound of lee jordans voice erupted the gryffindor side of the pitch into victorious roars of applause. they knew what came next, it always happened but maybe cormac would be too distracted by his victory to-
"how about a kiss for the star of the match" ah, cormac had already flown over to where they sat "i want my five galleons first!" zacharias pipped up, patting at mclaggens pockets "get off me smith — you can have it tomorrow, i just came here for my kiss" and with that, before m/n could say anything, cormac had grabbed ahold of either side of their face, pulling their lips to his.
• cormac and zacharias don't so much share as they do tolerate each others presence within the darlings life. the bright side is that together, they do stand a chance against another yandere, probably not an intelligent one like anthony goldstein, or a violent one like one of the theo's™, but if the darling were to have also caught to attention of someone like lorenzo berkshire, they probably wouldn't loose custody immediately.

First Years with Ash’s Pokemon
Headcanons of the TWST boys with Ash’s Pokemon: First Years Edition!
Sorry they're kind of short, hope you all enjoy!
Ace- Gliscor
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?!?
vampire-bat scorpion thing :/
Ace is completely confused about Gliscor, and is also low key terrified
I mean, the way the met, Gliscor literally swooped in and picked Ace up and into the air
so while Ash and Gliscor are laughing their butts off, Ace is up in the air, scarred for life
also doesn't help when Ash explains the dex entry about how silent and deadly Gliscor is
let him down!
Ash sorta starts to take pity on him and makes Gliscor put him down, but now whenever Ace shows up, Gliscor will always be there to swoop him into a 'hug'
spare him pls (lmao no)
Deuce- Sceptile
as Sceptile stared at the poor boy, there was only one thought in his head
SO COOL!!!
meanwhile, Sceptile's looking at him like "who's this weird lost child?"
"the one that destroyed the chandelier"
"a h"
Takes a while, but Deuce manages to just barely get Sceptile to warm up to him
the two then have this weird truce, mainly because Sceptile kind of likes him if he ignores the dumbassery
totally has the same "talk shit, get hit" vibes Deuce gets, so there's a sort of unity the two gain when protecting Ash/when they just generally get pissed off
Deuce watches Sceptile use his moves and he's awestruck, lmao
"No Deuce, you can't learn Leaf Blade..." -Ash Ketchum
Sceptile sorta just keeps to himself for the most part though
they can actually coexist in the same room unlike Ace and every single one of Ash's pokemon lmao
Jack- Lycanroc
a wolf, with rocks in it???
doesn’t it hurt?
and he gets his answer when Lycanroc loses its mind when he tries to pet it
"yeah, don't do that, Lycanroc hates it when people or pokemon mess up his fur"
"oh NOW you tell me" meanwhile he's got a rock painfully poking his side
Ash explains how Lycanroc actually went on full rampages whenever he got dirty, and Jack is glad he didn't get an Accelrock to the face
it takes a bit, but Lycanroc does warm up to Jack more than the rest of Ash's pokemon, mainly because wolf solidarity
if Ash is hanging out with Jack, then you best believe that Lycanroc is close by
Epel- Gible
a baby?
A DRAGON BABY!?
watched the baby pull a draco meteor and epel regrets underestimating him
is lowkey concerned when Gible just begins chewing on Ash's head, but she acts like she doesn't feel it, so he sorta just stands there
out of all of Ash's Pokemon, Gible is one of the few to warm up to the guys quite quickly
Gible bites epel too jbksjahjds
Vil, upon seeing the marks, has a heart attack lmao
but in all seriousness, Gible actually really likes Gible, and the dragon is growing on Epel, so if he ever does get bit again, he literally just shrugs it off
it's how Gible shows his affection, VIL
Ortho- Krookodile
this is probably the weirdest pairing
saw Krookodile and thought he was the coolest ever, especially with his sunglasses
enjoys watching Krookodile train with all of Ash's other strong/fully evolved pokemon, especially since he can record data for himself later
with such a wide movepool (knowing Dragon Claw, Aerial Ace, Dig, and Stone Edge) Ortho is in awe
100% the two would power up a death laser/Stone Edge in an attempt to destroy the school together
the amount of pictures he has with Krookodile is astounding, Idia is lowkey jealous
his personal fave is of him with Krookodile and they both have sunglasses on, looking cool
Sebek- Sirfetch’d
A BATTLE OF KNIGHTS
Sirfetch’d does not like Sebek one bit XD
Sebek is too loud for Sirfetch'd, and he insults their trainer any chance he gets
HOW DARE-
i wouldn't be surprised if Sirfetch'd has attacked Sebek on multiple occasions lol
even then, i'm pretty sure Sebek takes it as a challenge and tries to fight back, despite Ash's warnings
every time he gets his ass kicked though, he blames Ash for it, and at one point, homegirl just picks him up and tosses him across the yard
Sirfetch'd is laughing and Sebek would be lying if he said he wasn't scared (because he was)
girl can carry and throw a tree, idk why he wasn't scared before dwbjsksm
slowly learns to respect Ash and her ability to keep up with her Pokemon
grows to tolerate Sirfetch'd, and same is said for the 'mon
but the tensions is definitely still there lmao

Everything In Between
Pairing: Penguin x reader
Content: Strawhat!reader, mentions of alcohol, fluff, pining, secret crushes teehee, kissing🤭
Word Count: 1.7k
A/N: ah yes, my favorite barely mentioned or seen side character🩷 also i know he’s not a main character or anything but like pls give this fic a chance anyway🤞🏽idk guys he’s just so fine to me, something about characters with hidden faces or masks… anyway halfway through writing i realized this reminds me a lot of the song “In Between” by Gracie Abrams (which is unreleased i think?) and so that’s where the title is from😇 enjoy! <3
Edited 2/11/24
As a Straw Hat Pirate, you’re happy to enjoy the many blessings that come with having a lax and fun-loving captain. You and your crew often have parties often for no reason in particular, and when there is one; the celebrations are even grander. It definitely wasn’t part of your original “10 year plan”, but you couldn’t be happier that you wound up on the crew.
Beyond frequent opportunities for food, music, and dancing; getting to meet people from all around the world is a close second in terms of your favorite part of being a pirate. You’ve been to more islands than you could count at this point, and flirted with met people from all walks of life. Royalty, civilians, government officials, other pirates… God, did you love the pirates.
The Heart Pirates were probably your favorite of all- outside of your own crew. Even before Luffy created an alliance with them, and you met them in passing on Saobody, you thought they were just great. So organized in their matching jumpsuits and everything- how neat! And the captain, Law, is a good looking guy, but he’s not the one who made you so giddy over simple glances that you would giggle and kick your feet in your room after being with him. No, that only happened when you were formally introduced to one of his subordinates- Penguin. You didn’t even really know the guy, but you were bored at a party one night and looking to have some fun. You ended the night with more feeling than you’d bargained for though; all because he came up and asked if you knew the difference between a Straw Hat and a Heart as a joke.
You cross your arms and tilt your head, intrigued, “No, what?”
“One’s a hat, and the other is a vital organ.” he says with a grin, red solo cup in hand. You can’t even see his eyes as he leans in, waiting for your reaction.
After a brief silence (which comes from you thinking, “this guy is seriously corny. And hot,”) you give him one in full; laughing like it’s the funniest thing you’ve ever heard.
“Oh! You… You liked it!” he chuckles, rubbing the back of his neck with one hand.
Your laugh is bright and clear to him despite the loud party atmosphere which you’re standing just a few paces away from. He’s mesmerized; and it could just be the party-high talking, but Penguin thinks he’d do just about anything to make you laugh like that again. Because, little do you know, he’s always sort of admired you from afar.
As you come down from your fit of laughter, you ask if he has anymore jokes like that one. He shakes his head “no” with a bashful smile.
“Aww, that’s too bad.” You touch his arm as you continue, “What’s your name, funny guy?”
The simple touch causes his confidence to skyrocket, and he takes a small step toward you. “I’m Penguin,” he grins, “ and you’re y/n, right?”
You nod, “It’s nice to meet you, Penguin.”
“Soooo, you think I’m funny?”
“Mhm, your partner doesn’t tell you that?”
“Nope, no partners here. None at all, not with me.”
Another giggle slips past your lips, “Good, I’d hate to get you in trouble.”
His voice drops to a conspiratorial whisper, “Why would we get in trouble?”
“Well, we’re flirting, aren’t we? Or I’m trying to flirt with you, at least.”
Penguin feels faint. How lucky was he; not only to have a pretty person like you so blatantly flirting with him, but to have you flirting with him. The object of a long distance, mostly delusion fueled affection he’d harbored for… Well, however long it’s been since he first saw you in Sabaody. He doesn’t even want to finish off his drink- and it’s only his first of the night! But if he does, he might not remember this moment.
He’s so caught up in the thought of you that’s he’s simply nodding at your words, “Something something… dance… music…” Your lips are so pretty, and your voice might be the most melodic thing to ever grace his ears- besides your laugh, of course. And your hands are so damn soft- which is unexpected for a pirate, but most fitting for someone of your beauty.
Wait, since when had you taken his hand? And led him away from the railing? …What had he agreed to go again?
Well, who knows, and who cares! He’d gladly let you lead him to your cabin right now, if that’s what’s happening, and once the door was closed he’d be more than willing to-
“Penguin? You ok?”
His cheeks flush when you look back at him “Yeah! I’m good, great even-“
You turn fully so you’re walking backwards, and take his other hand so both are interlocked. “Not having second thoughts, are you?”
Penguin realizes you’re standing closer to the source of the music (the skeleton man… what was his name?) and at the center of the deck. “No, no of course not…”
“Mkay,” you smile, putting one of his hands onto your waist and resting your now free hand on his shoulder.
“Ohhh, right: dancing.”
Penguin tries his best, really, but you find that he’s a mediocre dance partner. He steps on your feet multiple times over the course of just 2 songs, probably because his eyes stay trained on you rather than observing and following your movements. You call it quits on the 3rd song and tell him you’re going to get a drink.
“So much for having fun with a cute guy tonight.” you mutter to yourself under your breath before taking a sip of your drink. He was so zoned out, it’s like he wasn’t even interested all of a sudden. Major turn off… Scratch that, a major disappointment, considering you were still very much on.
That’s when Penguin finds you at the drink table, and pours himself some sort of liquor before he steps closer to talk to you. “So much for not drinking tonight, but I’m gonna need it.” he thinks to himself. He steps closer and waves at you.
“Hey y/n, so I uh…. I kind of lied. I don’t really know how to dance- not like you do, at least.”
You smile and wave off his concerns, “It’s fine, I had fun anyway.”
“Ok, good, good…”
He’s biting his lip, and even though you can’t see his eyebrows, you imagine them pinched together nervously. “What’s wrong?”
Penguin sighs dramatically and sets down his cup, “I’m not a liar, usually, I swear. I just wanted to impress you, you know?” This makes you laugh, though you try to reel it in for his sake. But damnit, it’s more than enough to ease his nerves and loosen his tongue. “I have a crush on you! And I think you’re-“
“Penguin.”
“…Yes?”
“You don’t have to comfort me, it’s really fine. We just talked for a little bit, I’m not hurt or anything…” you laugh.
“No I-“ he exhales, “y/n, I’ve liked you since I met you.”
“…We’ve met before?”
“Yeah, on Sabaody Archipelago.”
“…”
He waves his hands in front of his face, as if to reassure you that you’re not forgetting some vital piece of information. “We didn’t introduce ourselves or anything, but… I saw you. Every time after that, I tried to talk to you, but it never worked out. I guess tonight I got lucky though, right?
“Uh huh…” You don’t even really know what to say to that. So he’d admired you al this time… and you didn’t even know.
“Sorry, was that too much? I don’t want to weird you o-“
And since you don’t have the words, you settle on actions instead. With swift movements, you grab the collar of his shirt and pull him in for a quick, but gentle kiss. You feel his hat being tipped back from the angle, so you hold the back of his head to prevent it from falling. This leads Penguin to deepen the kiss, his tongue darting out to lick at your bottom lip. With a gasp, your lips part, and it’s all he needs keep exploring your mouth and savoring the way it fits with his. You hum, at first because you’re enjoying it, then because you feel like you actually shouldn’t be doing this. Either way it creates a pleasant vibration against his lips, and he groans. Having only meant for it to be a small peck, and with the resurgence of the feeling that you’re doing something scandalous, you push him away.
Still breathing heavily, you apologize profusely. “I don’t even know why I did that, I’m sorry.”
Penguin is also panting after the heated kiss you share, but he stops you. “No, no don’t apologize!” He holds your face in both hands and kisses you again, though much more forcefully than you had.
When he pulls away to gauge your reaction, your expression turns from momentarily stunned to genuinely happy. You laugh. God, why do you have to always laugh and look so perfect around him? It’s killing him inside.
“Was that good orrr…?” This only makes your giggles louder, and you try to look away so you can quiet yourself, but he keeps your face turned towards his.
“M-mhm, I’m sorry, I’m not laughing at you-“
“Stop saying sorry!” Penguin sighs into your mouth as he kisses you once more, albeit softer this time and long enough for you to put your arms around his neck.
When you pull away, he grins while still mere inches away from your face. “So you liked it then?”
You shake your head with an equally bright smile. “I like you.”

I've got it. Drawing suggestion/request/demand/whatever ya wanna call it, let's goo-
Okay, imagine. It's fall, right. Error and Ink, standing together, in fall clothing, the fall sweaters, scarfs, etc. Sharing a hot cocoa, they've got the two straws in the one beverage. Maybe there are little leaves floating around too, swirling around them in a pretty little dance-
If you don't want to do fall, that's okay. Those winter holidays are coming. Just edit it so they're in holiday sweaters, there's snow floating around, and their little hot cocoa has a candy cane sticking out of it hehe- >:)
I WAS GOING TO TAKE A BREAK FROM ERRORINK FOR A BIT, BUT THEN PASTEL DROPPED THIS IN MY INBOX SO-
(In all seriousness, I am very sorry for completely just skim-reading this and running off to draw the sketch immediately. I completely got the ask wrong so… apologies, my brain selectively remembered certain parts of the ask ;_;)
but anyways! Had a lot of fun coming up with a winter outfit for Ink! Slightly inspired by the rito snow quill outfit in TOTK :D
(Btw art requests are OPEN. Request stuff pls.)
#ink sans#error sans#errorink#undertale au#undertale multiverse#asks#sans au#ut au#Was conflicted about whether to make it autumn#Cause Ink and error would definitely argue over pumpkin spice latte or hot chocolate#But in the end winter won out :)

Hey! Now that you’re back I wanted to ask about Resident Lover? I remember you were on the team- but then the game came out and your name wasn’t on the dev list... what happened?
I can’t escape this question can I- and for those of you who messaged me, I did delete them in hopes of avoiding this- but I don’t want rumours to spread so lemme be transparent.
Also pls read this for how I’m handling coming back to this blog: https://www.tumblr.com/donnabenevientosimpingzone/741337986608873472/complex-feelings-and-absolute-pandemonium-about-my
No, I wasn’t kicked off the team, nor was I invited back when I left- and they made the right choice doing that. I was not mentally stable. I didn’t take the project seriously, I had jealousy issues, and didn’t take criticism well- I self destructed badly- blew up and burned that bridge to ashes, not to mention what sorta hurt I caused the team.
It did hurt a lot when I saw the game release. I was so upset, and spent so many weeks thinking about “what if I didn’t fuck up”. But there are no “what ifs” in history, we are meant to go through what we do in order to become the best versions of ourselves. The whole ordeal was part of the last push I needed to finally seek professional help. And the fact it still hurts whenever I see it around means I still care and carry guilt about everything that happened.
I’m practicing exposure therapy to try and heal that gaping wound. RE8 has turned my life completely on its head and I don’t want to abandon it- the best outcome will be the day I can download and play the game and find it within myself to genuinely love it with no more wounds to lick- but for now I’m content with seeing it float around every once in a while on my dash.
Out of respect- I hope none of you will pester the devs about this either. They did something amazing, and I’m so proud of what they’ve accomplished. Out of all of them I really miss MJ. They were the best, most hilarious friend- I always thought they were super attractive- and the whole reason the game was possible. Show them some love- idk message them “you’re cool!” for me or something. Anon ask if you have to. Don’t tell them I’m the one who sent you- I think it’ll be funny to just have a whole buncha people messaging them outta nowhere bahaha
And with that I hope this clears it up and stops people from messaging anymore about it. It’s still a sensitive wound I’m working to heal and I’d like to do it at my own pace<3 I don’t regret the experience, I’m in such a better place now because of it. I would love to make peace with my past self and accept the pain as a part of growing.
Until then enjoy me going back to my usual shenanigans before all the shit hit the fan. I’m very excited to draw more Spider Donna and Beneviento Sisters, I hope y’all enjoy it too<3

my unpopular takes on beetlejuice beetlejuice SPOILERS!! (long post)
(i am a fan of the original pls do not come for me) these are just my thoughts on the sequel :D please feel free to add yours too
context! im writing these notes as i watch so theyre a little disorganized
for reference i also rewatched the original immediately prior to the sequel
not opening with the classic beetlejuice muisic ?? even the stage show opens with that music where is it (EDIT- restarted it and it actually does open w the music, but it is much less fun/campy an and more of a spooky remix so i forgot)
its not plot necessary but i do wish we learned how BJ fixed his shrunken head and death by sandworm
where are the maitlands ???? 0 mention of adam and barbra at the beginning ?
BJ's ex wife intro was a very creative concept but i wish they did it with more sfx props and less cgi/green screen
Astrid is like very boring, theyve done nothing to get the audience (me) invested in her?? disney wish vibes like who is she
call it a headcanon i feel like lydia wouldnt be this fucking awkward of a parent ?? she had good role models ie adam and barbra (even if her own parents werent as active, by the end of the original movie it implied they were now living in a healthy family dynamic
the mother daughter drama feels really forced, reminds me of the out-of-place tension between wednesday and morticia in the 2023 show
all angles are super close up and feel like horror angles. the scene where astrid befriends that boy ?? felt like someone was gonna come up and kill them the ENTIRE interaction (edit i guess that makes sense but it nerfed the scene)
IMMEDIATELY knew his parents are dead btw. not showing their faces is so clearly they are dead. not an ounce of mystery. theory the boy might be a ghost too?
theory astrids dad isnt dead bc Lydia cant see him
the witching hour wrong ?? last i knew it was 3am not 12am. weird thing to get wrong
its like not a silly campy vibe ?? its like uncomfortable.
dont like lydias new man hes pushy and gross
i miss adam and barbra
it doesnt make sense that no one taking lydia seriously ? delia knows she can see ghosts and has also experienced beetlejuice
lydias fiance is a horrid excuse for a partner (how tf did she meet him like did he just walk in bc the plot needed another person to hate lydia
not the dead protester joke :(
the spill-your-guts/pregnancy felt really idk,,, icky??? dont know how to explain it but it uncomfortably long
follow up- a lot of the visual ghost gags felt very gross/gorey ? like in the original movie the gags were inbetween silly/sexual/spooky-but this one feels more like blood and guts instead of spiders and snakes. exhibit A) otho casually shoving corpse barbra out of the way when looking at the closet with delia / exhibit b) the guy with the cigarettes at the end of the original
theory that astrid is going to end up seeing ghosts by the end of the movie
love the "eeee!" noise BJ makes when people say his name
ok BJ with the guitar after lydia tells him off was legitimately funny
i know astrid is an angsty teen but my god she is so hostile towards lydia
calling it at 56mins the boys parents are SO dead bc they deliberately didnt have lydia meet them
listen i have nothing against jenna ortega but it feels like she is type-casted to play exactly one character now, like let the girl play something other than a monotone gothy teen
"they found a loophole and moved on" okay whatever that means
astrids awkwardness w this ghost boy is pretty cute. he is so definitely a ghost though
yup called it hes a ghost
"my mom was telling the truth... shit" lmao
this boy feels very sus bc why are you trying to bribe her w her father
still no info on how lydia and rory met ??
MURDER HOUSE ?? TH BOY IS A MURDERER ??? okay thats a good twist ill give them that
astrid going into the afterlife to see her dad feels very "lydia going to the afterlife to see her mom" plot from the stage show ?
astrid honey you have too much faith in this ghost boy
oh my fucking god delia did you really get poisonous snakes....so on brand for her
Beetlegeuse literally carrying the whole movie
every scene he's in is absolutely giving
william dafoe is pretty good too but adding him just feels like he is william dafoe and not the character hes playing (who is also an actor)
delia correcting herself from saying fuck is really funny like girl was that scripted
okay ok astrd seeing her dad working in immigration was pretty neat
i had actually forgotten abt BJs ex wife until now ? doesnt seem like she actually adds much to the story beyond giving BJ a new reason to pursue lydia... which he was already doing...?
are they all going to end up in the afterlfe wtf
the afterlife desert takes place on the fucking moon of saturn ?? okay
is it just me or is the sandworm not claymation... like maybe its just the way it looks but i swear it looks like they cgi'd it but then cut down the frame rate
damn lydias husband really got eaten by piranhas.. what a way to die oh my god
there was no real stakes to astrid switching her soul? they resolved that so fast like lydia just grabbed her and they ran
oh their husband/dad is back now everything is fixed...? like all that hate towards her mom is now gone bc her mom was telling the truth about seeing ghosts? dad just resolved the only conflict
beetlejuice didnt even help get astrid back he went on a pee break and the plot progressed
love bad cop william defoe
"are you filled with fear and trembling?" "yes im shitting my pants" absolutely gold
BJ on fetchquests this whole movie fr
the soul sucking lady please she ate bobs nametag :(
ok wtf they really solved ghost boy dilemma in 5 seconds, BJ ex machina... like he rlly just got him like that ??? anticlimactic
ok good astrid apologized for being a shitty kid
rory please stop kissing lydias neck
i kind of hate the modern nods like the self securing seatbelt in the priests car, or the influencers at the wedding, really weird unnecessary detail
BJ and Delia wedding crashers my fav
how did Beetlejuice get into the church ? if he is a demon like previously established, shouldnt he NOT be able to step on holy ground
enjoyed the slapstick moment of lydia punching rory, good moment
her red dress omg !! pretty
BJ himself is just too funny, making the priest sing top tier
i still miss adam and barbra :( if they can cgi that dead guy in star wars i think we couldve brought alec baldwin and geena davis who are in fact still very alive and look great
they really didnt make me interested in BJs ex wife other than she is pretty and looks like morticia addams ?
BJ making everybody partake in singing is very silly
everybody dancing at the wedding scene must have been fun to film, everybody looks like theyre jamming
lmao whos dog was that in the hallucinations ?? is that the dog who killed the maitlands
"ghoul squad" ok monster high
oh finally his ex is here
lydia so casually pushed out of the way lmao
why does BJ have more etherial powers than every other ghost?
offering rory to the soul sucking lady is so good
theyre really just gonna sandworm for the plot resolution again ???
his ex wife was a threat for all of 4 seconds
lol the legal marriage loophole was kinda funny
is delia like forever dead ? is she a ghost now? is beetlejuice dead?
i still love delia. "i will find charles and we will haunt you both" good for her
are the influencer wedding guests dead
everything got wrapped up very quickly
good on delia for still loving her husband even though that shark absolutely annihilated him
what ?? astrid is married now???
WHAT ??? SHES GIVING BIRTH ?????
oh ok its a dream
having a second pregnancy bit felt really weird
they alluded to another sequel :(
