#genuinely i was pretty lost for most of it

[xx-w0rlds-0k4y3st-f4g-xx]

lol if youve known me for any length of time, you'll know that iv got a lot of thoughts into the whole "will solace as a teenager working in the medical field" thing.

the first of those thoughts is related to the fact that he's just this little weird ass healer/field medic/combat medic.

the second is that hes a teenager. a literal teenager. he shouldn't be in charge of anything, he is anyway.

the third and most built of these thoughts (and possibly the one that I'm the most passionate about as a teenage nursing student and nerd who reads into things too much) is the fact that even if will solace grew up, left camp, and went into the adult world, he may not even want to work anywhere near the medical field. just going off what we know from the books, in their most basic, we know that he's a combat/field medic, and that he is, at one point, pretty much the only person at chb with healing powers, so even as a early mid teen, he had a lot of pressure and stress, a lot of injuries from people he knew, even more deaths that he couldn't stop no matter how hard he tried.

that messes up a person. ive heard a lot of stories from people who tried working in medical, as nurses, as doctors, etc, who just couldn't. and given how much traume he probably has from being in both wars, countless other battles, training accidents, all that shit, and knowing roughly how traume tends to affect people, he could go a couple ways:

he could try to go to medical school, then burn out immediately because of the change in pace.

try working in medical, and just... not be able to in an actual medical environment, because of how camp operated, how the battles operated, etc.

or, he could flourish like nobody business, become one of those doctors/nurses that everyone knows and loves because he's genuinely good, because its all he knows.

from my research into trauma and how it tends to work (thank you fanfiction research for weird areas of knowledge), a lot of people experience it as wither something that keeps them afloat in whatever situation they're in (eg a soldier while still in battle, and for the purpose of this, will staying in the medical field and flourishing), or it can immediately push that person over the edge into not being able to stay in that environment for any reason (eg someone who was in a really bad car accident, or for this, will not being able to work in medical after aging out of camp). from what I understand of will in the books, he could potentially fall into either camp.

the other issue with will's characterisation as "the doctor guy", is that based on what tasks we know he carries out in the books, there is no way he would be just a doctor, if he even decided to become one after camp. personally I think he would suit a nurse practitioner role, just based on the skills, scope of practice, independence, etc. but while at camp, my guy is basically an 18th century surgeon, doing basically everything

...anyway i rambled and may have lost the plot a bit but look man, this is a passion point for me

guys please stop calling will solace a doctor. he’s a minor. he’s NOT a doctor. he’s a war medic that cares about the people in his life. he’s a nerdy teenager who wears jorts and cargo shorts in the infirmary instead of actual scrubs. please stop calling him a doctor. especially when you are trying to hate on solangelo. he’s just a healer. he’s just a minor. like he is not a doctor. stop saying he is one.

pairing. g!p ot4 ive x kim gaeul

content warning(s). HUGE SIZE KINK, breeding + creampie, deep throat, degradation, face fucking, fingering, gropping, hair pulling, humiliation, pillow humping, riding, semi exhibitionism, sextape???, slapping, squirting, titsucking, unnie kink. (there is... a lot going on.)

kim gaeul, our beloved and loving unnie from Ive, who always watches over the little ones and makes sure her babies are always safe. a little big detail that oh surprise! she may be the oldest in the group and all that, but still, she is the smallest in terms of height and build, and you know what? it’s something the other members love to laugh and joke about, but beyond that, they also enjoy making a profit out of it.

yujin having the most annoying ass of the group and having the personality of a playful puppy who always seems to want to play is something that gaeul always seems to get tired of, but the fact that yujin is noticeably much taller is something that only fuels yujin’s ego further and it makes her always feel the need to annoy her unnie to the point of making her angry and gaeul seems to want to hit yujin to get rid of her idiotic attitude.

gaeul’s bad luck that yujin is the main dancer along with her, which is why both of them constantly practice the choreographies for their songs in advance with the dancers or there are simply times when they stay late in one of the company’s practice rooms to polish a dance or create a new choreography for a bside or upcoming songs. so for obvious reasons it is much better that the best dancers in the group are the ones who learn the choreographies first so that they can then introduce them to the rest of the group, or maybe make suggestions to the choreographer to change a step in case they think something is too complicated or they simply want to add something to contribute to the creation of the choreography.

yujin sitting against one of the walls of the studio, practically drooling as she watched gaeul dance in front of the mirror, moving her hips in a certain way, rolling her body, practicing her facial expressions with her own reflection by giving herself seductive glances and biting her lip or smirking slightly. at first she thought it would be a good idea for gaeul to show her what her ideas were for the choreography of the next intro that they would present at the next music festival they would go to, but she was so wrong and regretted that stupid decision every second; now she was hard as a rock in her sweatpants, the bulge became more visible as the minutes passed and not even crossing her legs or putting the edge of her sweater over her lap could hide her erection.

gaeul finishes the choreography exhausted, falling almost instantly to the ground in search of a moment’s rest and recovering all the air lost a few seconds ago. of course gaeul was completely oblivious to the effect she was having on her group mate because she had been so focused on polishing her dancing skills and improving that she wasn’t aware of the growing erection inside her friend's pants! she stood up to grab her thermos of cold water from her bag, asking, “how was i? i got pretty tired at the end. i think i should try to practice more on keeping my energy steady and not letting myself fall when i shake.” and yujin wants to genuinely respond with a compliment and advice so that her unnie doesn’t repeat the same mistake of not being able to control her breathing during the most active parts, but her words get stuck in her throat when she sees gaeul’s lips part and surround the spout of the plastic bottle as she wants to take a cool drink of water to calm her current state... the bulge in yujin’s jogging pants being impossible to hide, throbbing almost painfully as her mind races with forbidden fantasies of grabbing gaeul, pinning her against the mirror, and showing her just how “awesome” she thinks she is <3

but even when yujin tries to resist, her dirty mind wins. “come here, and i’ll guide you through some cool-down stretches.”

and yujin almost moans at the request she made herself, and a surge of blood flows to her painfully hard dick as he imagines all the ways she could “help” the beautiful gaeul. she knows she needs to maintain professionalism and not give in to the temptations her cock tries to lead her to, so she just takes a deep breath and nods, trying to act natural despite her intense arousal.

“why don’t you lie on your back and I'll help you stretch your legs and back? we’ll go slowly, making sure you’re nice and warm before the big show this weekend.”

and as much as gaeul seems oblivious and an idiot for not noticing the giant erection in yujin’s pants, she knows what’s going on, she just prefers to play the fool to provoke yujin for a while. “awww, thanks yujin–ah. you’re always so good to unnie.”

swallowing hard, yujin reaches out and gently grabs one of gaeul’s ankles, slowly pulling your leg up and toward her chest in a gentle hamstring stretch. her fingers lingering perhaps too long on gaeul’s silky skin, savoring the touch of it, enjoying the feel of her unnie’s flesh between her fingers. “mgmh, you know i’d do anything for you, my dear gel. you’re so talented and beautiful, inside and out. i’m happy to support you in any way i can.”

as she slowly stretches gaeul’s other leg, yujin moves closer to her, lowering hee body over hers until her breath brushes her ear. “remember, if you ever need anything... if you ever want me to help you 'stretch' in other ways…” letting the suggestive words float in the air between them, praying that gaeul doesn’t notice the painful desperation in her voice and the way her hips buck with the need to rub against her and grind her hard cock against her clothed pussy.

yujin holds her breath as she watches gaeul process her subtly suggestive words, searching her beautiful face for any hint of understanding, of reciprocation to the desire that has tormented her for so long. her heart pounding in her ears, her palms grow damp where she gripped gaeul’s ankles as she waits for her answer with bated breath. but when gaeul doesn’t respond immediately, yujin swallows nervously, a flash of insecurity and fear piercing her lust. had she misinterpreted the situation? was she repulsed by the idea of...?

“i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable—”

but gaeul interrupts yujin by wrapping her legs around here waist, moving her hips against yujin’s and grinding her clothed pussy against yujin’s erection. “just fuck me, yujin.”

this ends with gaeul bent over the cold floor of the practice room, head against the floor and ass in the air while yujin is behind her fucking her pussy <3 yujin moaning and grunting loudly, letting her hands rest on gaeul’s asscheeks and spreading her cheeks to admire how her tight little pussy greedily takes yujin’s fat cock, squeezing the flesh between her fingers and releasing them for a second only to almost instantly lash her sensitive skin with both hands and enjoy how the mark of her palm appears on the gaeul’s flesh with a reddish stain in the shape of her fingers — and yujin loves the way gaeul starts pushing her hips back to meet her thrusts, practically searching for more as if yujin wasn’t already destroying her pussy!

and when gaeul decides to return the favor by giving yujin head, oh my god, she makes the mistake of wanting to suck the dick of the girl with the most unbearable ego just because she knows that her dick is big; basically yujin was smirking at gaeul as she was on her knees, holding her cock with one hand and pumping it slowly, causing cum to ooze from the tip and begin to drip down the shaft, saying “open wide for me.” but almost instantly slapping gaeul’’s face with her cock because yujin doesn’t stop being an annoying ass even in sex, earning a serious look from gaeul but yujin can’t take it seriously when her unnie’s cheek has a small semen stain.

no matter how unbearable yujin is and the fact that gaeul just wants to slap her right now, she continues with the task at hand, and not because she wants to please yujin and wants to make her shut up, but honestly because she is been dying to have yujin’s cock in her mouth for a long time, but that's not a topic we’re going to talk about now!

so when she finally decides to start with the task at hand she chooses to be the one to tease yujin this time; closing her lips around the head of her cock but giving it subtle licks and kisses while one hand lazily squeezes and strokes the length, looking at yujin with shining eyes and feigning innocence, only for yujin to get tired of that shitty attitude almost within a second and roughly grab gaeul by the hair in a painful grip that keeps her head still so she can freely fuck her mouth <3 gaeul looking super cute giving her all to take yujin’s cock without any problem, trying to hide the choking and whimpering sounds that come from her throat every time yujin’s cock hits the back of her throat, causing a mess of combined cum and saliva to slowly run down gaeul’s chin

rei being just five centimeters taller than gaeul but still she doesn’t want to be left out of the fun :( she is always trying to show and make it clear that she is also tall and much taller than gaeul, but only earning a soft giggle from her unnie who finds her attempts to belong to the tall line of the group adorable.

but rei won’t give up easily! and lucky for her, gaeul is her rapper partner who sometimes writes songs with her or at least her rap parts, giving rei a moment alone with gaeul that she definitely doesn’t miss.

rei takes advantage of the moment when gaeul gets up from her chair to adjust the microphone to position herself behind her and suddenly surround her with her arms and push her against her body, pressing her chest against gaeul’s back, causing her to flinch and not understand what’s happening.

“rei, what are you doing—?”

“oh, shut up, unnie.”

rei gives me this mean domme femme vibe I’M SORRY so gaeul ends up leaning on the recording studio console, positioned in the perfect way so that her face is right in front of the microphone and records all her moans 😵‍💫 rei fucking gaeul in standing backshots, making her unnie’s legs wobbly and have a strong grip on the desk because she is struggling to stay upright when rei is blowing her back out.

and gaeul doesn’t dare try to drop her head forward because the moment she tries to move her mouth away from the microphone rei painfully grabs her hair, forcing her to throw her head back to connect glances with her and say “try to do that and i’ll give you a real reason to whine as loudly as you’re doing right now.”

if you thought yujin was bad, that’s because you don’t know jang wonyoung! she is literally whipped for her unnie and turns to mush every time she is next to her due to the noticeable size difference, and how could she not? gaeul being the sweet and adorable unnie who is the smallest maknae of the group, while wonyoung is part of the maknae line and is the tallest of the entire group. basically, it was wonyoung who introduced size kink to the other members of ive because there isn’t a single person who doesn’t lose their mind when they see how small and fragile gaeul looks next to someone as tall and intimidating as wonyoung.

and how does this end? gaeul leaving and allowing wonyoung to handle and manipulate her body in all the ways she wants <3 wonyoung never misses the opportunity to fuck gaeul whenever they are alone in their shared room, enjoying breaking and using her unnie in every way possible until she gets tired of using gaeul as a toy, and what does gaeul think? she doesn’t object! gaeul is aware of wonyoung’s busy schedule and how much time in her life her grueling solo promotions need, which never let her rest properly. so what better way to welcome wonyoung than every time she returns home after a long week of exhausting promotions, wearing a pretty lingerie set specially chosen for wonyoung’s taste?

this makes me think of them sharing clothes, or related to that, gaeul stealing wonyoung’s shirts and jackets, using them saying it’s because she likes wonyoung’s style but she actually loves how fuckable she looks in them and how crazy it makes wonyoung to see how her shirts reach halfway down gaeul’s thighs… i see gaeul as someone who would send thirst trap pictures to wonyoung because she wants a reaction from her, or un another words, get brutally fucked once wonyoung finishes work today; things like sending her a picture where she is wearing one of wonyoung’s shirts, a nice harmless selfie where she is smiling and in the caption she puts something like “miss u :(( what time do you arrive?” and wonyoung would think that it’s just gaeul getting sentimental and missing her roommate because wonyoung has been very absent this month and barely sets foot in the dormitory shared with the other members, of course, if it weren’t or the fact that after that gaeul attached a video with the “watch once” option of her riding her pillow with wonyoung’s shirt on and holding the hem between her teeth to show wonyoung how she is grinding her pussy against the pillow and the way her tits bounce with each of her desperate jumps

of course wonyoung gives her unnie what she deserves! wonyoung always tends to leave the dorm for days that feel like weeks to gaeul, leaving her unnie alone at night and forcing her to take care of her needs on her own. so once wonyoung sets foot inside the dorm and heads to her shared room with gaeul, everyone knows ive’s unnie is about to get fucked good <3

i know that they love to fuck in the most depraved way possible that causes the bed frames to creak and the headboard hits the wall so constantly in an annoying way that it disturbs the sleep of the members in the next room, but knowing them both, i know they would prefer standing missionary style where wonyoung presses gaeul against the wall and holds her legs on her shoulders while gaeul just has a tight grip on wonyoung’s arms and digs her nails into the flesh of her forearms because wonyoung is fucking her so good. and there’s nothing wonyoung loves more than gaeul and a mating press at the same time <3 gaeul is so small compared to wonyoung that the latter can’t help but handle her like a little doll whenever they are together because she loves how cute gaeul looks compared to her! and even though gaeul is the oldest and wonyoung is tired from her exhausting solo activities, she will always make sure to give her unnie a good fuck and provide her with a good load of warm cum to fill her pussy because that is what she deserves for putting in the effort to take care of her members.

danjangz + oral fixation. wonyoung has an obsession with gaeul’s body and always tries to show it, so what better than eating her unnie’s pussy before going to sleep to provide her with a good rest and a dream that recharges all the energy spent during the day? gaeul lying on her back in bed, dark silky hair scattered on the soft pillows, eyes closed with her cheeks flushed and mouth open letting out the cutest sighs and whimpers as wonyoung is working between her legs <3 gaeul would tend to squirm a lot and try to close her thighs around wonyoung’s head, but luckily, wonyoung’s hands are big and long enough to completely surround gaeul’s slender thighs and keep them open and pressed against the mattress beneath them both, her dark eyes giving her a small warning look from under her eyelashes every time gaeul tries to move her hips in a way she shouldn’t or starts to twist in a way that makes her pussy move away from wonyoung’s mouth

and wonyoung having a great worship for her unnie’s tits <3 oral fixation again but this is more like an activity when both of them are feeling lazy or just don’t have much motivation to fuck like animals today; gaeul lying with her back against the headboard of the bed, with wonyoung laying her head against her chest and having one of her nipples between her full lips while one of her hands is between gaeul’s thighs, fingering her pussy with two long fingers that perfectly hit that sensitive spot inside her

liz being the only member of ive who is a sweetheart to gaeul and doesn’t fuck her like she wants to destroy her right then and there <3 although this is not because liz has consideration for her unnie and focuses more on her pleasure rather than just seeing her as a set of holes to fuck until exhaustion and fill them with cum until it oozes out of them, but because liz has a shy and embarrassing personality that prevents her from showing what her true darkest and most depraved thoughts are…

gaeul only having compassion for her because liz is a cute little thing who wouldn’t dare to be a crazy pervert unlike her other groupmates <3 then gaeul would be a sweet unnie to her, showering her neck with wet, open–mouthed kisses, massaging her growing bulge through her pants, murmuring a “you can do whatever you want, jiwonie. i don’t mind.” against liz’s neck and making her whimper pathetically because she never had these kinds of moments with anyone and she is embarrassed to be having them with her unnie :( although this shy attitude doesn’t last too long because the moment gaeul says that, liz, without thinking, directs her hands to her unnie's ass and begins to shamelessly grope her?? liz has been holding back for so long that now she can’t even seem to contain her actions.

but anyway, gaeul decides to take care of her sweet princess because she knows that liz doesn’t even have a minimum percentage of dominance in her body and she would easily get embarrassed if she tried to dominate gaeul or even be on top of her, so gaeul has no better idea than to reward her cute jiwonie by giving her a good ride <3 liz is kind of pathetic so let’s just say she maybe came the instant gaeul slid her cock into her pussy because unnie’s cunt felt so good that liz couldn’t hold back, which made her so embarrassed and cry a little about it :( so gaeul unnie has to assure jiwonie that there’s nothing wrong with that and that she is not upset at all! gaeul will definitely have fun all afternoon training liz to help her endure more than one round and not collapse after the second

The general populace of New York thinking there is nothing going on between Deadpool and Wolverine.

Ft: @shy-canadian-snowflake & @orcadork4ever

The ones who say something is going on are delusional and have lost their damn minds.

Wade of course has an account on every social media platform and finds this hysterical

Sc:

Do you think he has two accounts- one to follow the believers and one to follow the nons? And argues for both sides?

Argues with himself for the hell of it.

Od:

I say he has 4 accounts

- Wade Wilson (personal)

- Wade Wilson (believer)

- Wade Wilson (nonbeliever)

- Official Deadpool

Me:

You're completely correct

Logan is oblivious to this whole thing doesn't know a word of it.

Laura however is in the trenches. But she's on the non-believer side because she finds it hysterical.

Od: On the nonbeliever account Wade pushes the Scott Jean Logan love triangle just because Laura makes a face whenever she sees it and it riles her up

The X-Men like this idea and kind of low-key circulate it

That's the other reason though why people are so adamant it's not happening. Because Laura only has one account and there is no hiding that she is who she says she is.

But she also actively picks fights with Wade's other account when he mentions that shit.

(Half the people think she's coping)

On the other believer account of Wades he stages pictures (or has Laura take them)

The pictures are pretty tame but one can definitely argue that they are a bit too close or touching a bit too much.

Od:

But his personal account? That’s where he puts candid pictures of Logan reading on the couch. Logan standing on his toes to get a book from the shelf when he doesn’t want to grab the step-stool or ask Wade to get it. Logan and Puppins asleep on the floor after a run (they didn’t even make it to the couch, my tuckered poochies 😭).

It’s also the place where he posts his face. The other accounts are filled with like generic food and scenery pics

Me:

There is one picture somewhere on his main account of Laura snuggled up close to Logan showing at her phone and underscrutiny is her getting mad or Wade's non-believer account

The only thing that could connect Wade to his other hidden personal account is the picture is taken in weird places.

The other funny thing is since Logan is oblivious to this even if they were to kiss in public and someone were to get a picture of it. No one would believe it because it's Deadpool of course he tricked Logan into something or was being obnoxious. It's not like it was genuine

Does Deadpool's main account take a stance or is it just natural?

Od: I think on the main account and on every AMA he’s done he plays coy like “a lady never kisses and tells~ 😘”

LMAO!!! And you know that's again a double-edged sword because there's no way he wouldn't be bragging If they were a thing. But on the other hand if he said they were and no one would believe him.

The other vigilantes and heroes go along with it because honestly it is really funny. It's not like it's a hidden fact that they're a thing. You can't get one without the other and they are disgustingly in love.

Logan is the only silent party on the matter. At this point they're in so deep no one is sure if Logan admitting it would ruin the joke or not.

All signs point to no because this has ingrained itself deep now into the internet spats right up there with is the dress blue or gold.

Wade is so pleased with himself.

But at some point they just kind of stop the joke. They end up just being more open about the relationship but never say anything.

People will still argue the most of it is for semantics sake because at this point it is for the meme.

Wade very much appreciates this and his non-believer account becomes a place to post the wild conspiracy schizophrenic rants about how it's not real at all fake.

[nerdy-hyperfixations]

The most interesting thing about Ena Dream BBQ for me that I genuinely wasn't expecting is that the straight man moved

In the Ena web series, the straight man in Ena. I mean. She's still incredibly weird in her own right, but it's established the instant she tells Moony, "Uh, no, no, no. That was very weird. What is wrong with you?" That she's more grounded with the audience than other characters. Theres more instances like this in the series where she points out when something is confusing and strange. She doesn't understand entirely how the world she's in works, which either suggests she's naive or that she is, to an extent, an outsider, which is pretty interesting to speculate. It could be both, too.

But Dream Ena is not the straight man. Other than tell the wizard off for "spewing some real hogwash here" (which could just be argued that she just understands him for the con man he probably is) she doesn't seem to question the world around her. She takes everything as it is, as fact, and spews her own confusing dialogue with the rest of them. But there is still a straight man, and that's Froggy. He doesn't understand Ena's "fancy words," has to actively try to say things in a way he thinks Ena will get, and is exasperated with Dratula. Just for existing I guess lol. It feels like Dratulas confusing rattle is what bothers him, especially when he yells at him to "shut up." Which it's an interesting choice to move the straight man away from the main character that you actually play as to someone else, but I do actually think it works a lot.

Additionally, I do think moving the straight man archetype from Ena does allow her to be more mysterious and possibly sinister in a way I like lol. Idk man, her salesman side makes me imagine her as a point and click horror character that invites you to her house when you get lost in the woods, all chearful and bright smiles, sometimes muttering under her breath with her meanie side in ways you can't quite catch but allude to her not being as pleased by your company as she'd like to put off, and then hunting you for sport lol. Def not where the game is going probably but idk its fun for me.

Anyway I don't have a point with this. I just wanted to talk

[kiwii-11]

fool! asher x fool! babe where it’s the grumpy alpha with his mate, one of the only people who has ever made him genuinely laugh.

the pack meetings were obviously led by the talbot alpha himself. mates were allowed to join in if they liked, and babe always did. they sat opposite him most of the time, with davey’s mate near them so they can ask a few questions. at some point, during a very serious conversation concerning a nearby vampire clan, he accidentally locks eyes with babe. they sit up straighter, offering him a smile.

and for some reason, he has lost his train of thought and he’s smiling too. and now he’s chuckling, and trying to cover it up with a cough.

babe doesn’t know what is it. they don’t even do anything to deliberately make him laugh and yet he had to turn his back to the rest of the pack to compose himself. the first few times this happens, the other shifters in the room are just as confused. anton nudges davey beside him, raising a brow. amanda begins to laugh a little as well because it’s now been four minutes straight of silence due to asher’s situation.

at some point, he clears his throat and turns back around with an apology, but babe is giggling at something anton’s love has said and now asher is covering his face to hide his own grin again.

during today’s ten minute break (implemented by the alpha himself), asher leaves to grab a glass of water. the shifters have split up into groups to talk as love and angel share a knowing smile between them.

“what is it?” babe asks.

“seriously don’t know how many more meetings we’ll have to go through with asher acting the way he is.” angel jokes as they cross their arms over their chest.

“what do you mean? he’s not acting any different.” babe points out.

anton chuckles, “you think so? hm, interesting.”

they go to ask again when they hear their mate.

“babe. c’mere for a sec.” asher calls from the doorway.

they get up to follow after him as the talbot pack begins ‘ooh’ing at the pair. with a quick ‘shut up’ from the alpha, they all go back to their talking. when in the other room, babe takes hold of his hands in concern.

“what’s wrong? you look… mad.” they question sincerely.

asher’s breath hitches as they squeeze his palms. from when they first met, babe knew what kind of guy he was. he seemed to always be a little on edge, and a bit walled up before he confessed his love to them. as the months went on, he became softer with them, whilst still showing off that slightly arrogant charm that they fell for. what they hadn’t known was that it was only them that got to see that side of him, up until they began attending the meetings.

“i think that it’s best if you don’t come to pack meeting anymore, babe.” he states with upturned brows.

“what…?” they huff, slowly letting go of his hands, “what did i do wrong?”

“no, nothing, baby, you didn’t do anything,” he quickly reiterates, collecting their hands in his once again and placing them against his beating heart, “i just… i find it, uh, hard to focus when i can see you during these meetings. and i gotta’ be professional and serious, or else these idiots won’t listen to me.”

his mate blinks at his blushing face, a smile now being suppressed.

“it’s… embarrassing. i can’t concentrate when i can see your pretty face.”

babe was usually the flirt, the one that would make the stoic alpha crumble and blush so much that he needed a break. but now, they were uncontrollably smiling at him.

“so you’re saying, i’m so hot that i turn your brain to mush?” they hum as they wrap their arms around his neck, “you’re so sweet!”

“keep it down.” asher harshly whispers.

“oh, that’s why they said that,” babe thinks out loud, “i didn’t start attending pack meetings until like two months ago. aw, you’re actually warming my heart, puppy, you’re adorable—”

“‘puppy’—?”

“you said it’s special for mates to come to pack meetings,” they state, “if you’re okay with it, can i sit behind you? where arden is? i’ll be out of sight, and i’ll still be there will you.”

his gaze softens at the compromise. of course he couldn’t expect his mate to just roll over at the request. he moves his thumb against the outside of their hand.

“that’s fine by me. thank you.” he sighs, showing them a small smile. they grin wider.

“gimme’ a kiss real quick.”

“babe, i need to head back—”

“just one!”

“i—… fine, just o—”

they pull him closer with their lips, quieting his words. his mind immediately clouds as his hands brace against their hips. asher’s eyes close and he gets lost against their touch while they brush their fingers against the back of his neck, sending shivers down his spine. he takes a few steps back as babe pushes forward against him. when his back hits the wall, a small gasp leaves him, letting babe deepen the kiss with a chuckle.

“b—babe, i—” the alpha breathes out.

“ash, we should wrap up the meeting, yes? chrissy and amanda—”

the couple stops in their positions as the beta opens the door to see them. babe immediately stands up straight as asher brushes his shirt of creases. anton blinks before a smirk lands on his face.

“ooh, what do we have here—”

“shut it.” asher grumbles as he walks passed him.

“i mean, you have no shame! in the office as well; what do you two do when nobody’s around, hm?” anton continues as he follows after babe and asher, “you can be honest with me, i tell no secrets.”

“i’m not allowed to say.” babe chuckles.

when they get to the meeting room, babe politely asks arden if they can switch seats, and they happily do so. the rest of the meetings they attend, they are seated beside asher with a proud heart. sometimes, he’ll glance at them between topics so that he knows that they’re there.

the small smile that appears on his lips every time shows his thankfulness.

Any judgement on [Richard III's] reign has to be seen as provisional. The critic of the reign only has to consider how the Tudors would now be regarded if Henry VII lost at Stoke, to realize the dangers of too many assumptions about the intractability of Richard’s problems. But it would be equally unrealistic to ignore Richard’s unpopularity altogether. The fact that he generated opposition among men with little material reason for dissent, and that the disaffection then continued to spread among his own associates, says something about what contemporaries regarded as the acceptable parameters of political behaviour. There is no doubt that Richard’s deposition of his nephews was profoundly shocking. To anyone who did not accept the pre-contract story, which was probably the majority of observers, the usurpation was an act of disloyalty. Gloucester, both as uncle and protector, was bound to uphold his nephew’s interests and his failure to do so was dishonourable. Of all medieval depositions, it was the only one which, with whatever justification, could most easily be seen as an act of naked self-aggrandizement.

It was also the first pre-emptive deposition in English history. This raised enormous problems. Deposition was always a last resort, even when it could be justified by the manifest failings of a corrupt or ineffective regime. How could one sanction its use as a first resort, to remove a king who had not only not done anything wrong but had not yet done anything at all?

Ok this is totally fix-it fic territory, just you're the only person I've seen who also doesn't love Eiffel's ending BUT What if after getting far enough away from whatever Cutter was using to block the dear listeners' abilities, Bob gives Eiffel his memory back. They have his brain almost completely copied after all. It would also be interesting to see him struggle with "would I really do THAT?" Like he just has such a hard time believing himself capable of growth and having positive impacts

oh, i honestly don't even think it's fix-it territory! i genuinely think he will regain his memory at some point; i think it makes narrative sense.

whether it's possible, with what the show sets up? the dear listeners are only invested insofar as it might impact the process, but, like you said, they could restore eiffel's memory. maybe even without active involvement. lovelace's blood was still working on eiffel (slowly, which might even make for a stronger case) a few days before the events of the finale, and memory is clearly a consideration in the 'pattern' of duplicates. maybe the regenerative properties apply to memory, too. and pryce scanned eiffel's brain back in ep 55, with the same kind of machine that was meant to instantly relay hilbert's memories back to canaveral; it's plausible there could be a backup.

... but even if none of that were the case! wolf 359 is a character drama, and what's important is what it says about eiffel. doug eiffel, who has spent so much of his life running from himself, whose character arc is about confronting and coming to terms with all of the people he's been, and his impact on the lives of the people he cares about. wiping his memory - if it's meant to be permanent - feels like a fulfillment of that wish, and it would be kind of. at odds with the themes of the show, when in every case it takes such a stance against attempted martyrdom. but as a set up for self-reflection and self-confrontation? i think it makes perfect sense, for someone who externalizes as much as eiffel does. i don't think restoring eiffel's memory is a cop out or fix-it any more than lovelace not actually dying is - it's not a tragic sacrifice, it's a narrative catalyst for character development. or, at least, that's how it makes sense to me.

i won't get too into the rest of my reasoning, since i know it gets long and it's mostly stuff i've talked about before, but! i do actually think the finale is a good narrative choice, i just feel differently about it than a lot of people seem to. maybe because the writers talk so much about their fondness for earned happy endings - that a happy ending is most impactful when you really think there won't be one - i just can't see wolf 359 as a tragedy. the simplified version: if "am i still doug eiffel?" is unanswered, then that's a whole set of unexplored themes. but if "am i still doug eiffel?" is a question with an answer - if the rest of the show, the repeated affirmation that other characters are who they decide they are despite their respective identity crises, the thematic context, "wanna find out together?", if all of that is the answer - then that final scene is an encapsulation and reaffirmation of the show itself. in my opinion, that makes for a really good ending.

as much as a i understand and respect ace kiryu truthers, i really feel like kiryu is the type to really take the idea to heart that sex is something vulnerable and meaningful and thus reserved for someone completely trusted and special to him– someone who feels right. after years and years he’s still never legitimately voluntarily slept with someone, always tries to turn women away or is at least apathetic when they try to get physical with him, never feels that deep and specific bond with a woman– nothing compared to some of his bonds with other men throughout his life. and maybe, hopefully, one day it’ll hit him that there’s a pretty big, glaring reason why no women have ever felt “right” to him.

in speaking of video essayists that lost me almost immediately i recently tried to watch verily bitchie's video on the feminism on barbie because i wanted an actually queer friendly dissection on why it falls so flat for me but after several minutes of meandering rambling with no real point in sight, a mention of the most annoying take on the beauty and the beast (that being the fucking stockholm syndrome discourse), and an uncritical mention of the riot girl movement as a paragon of countercultural feminism i just couldn't do it anymore lmao
