When I tried smoking the first time, it did not go too well. Then I tried the next day again, then the next pack. The addiction took hold way before I realised. Now I just smoke

Masterlist

Y/N’s POV:

"Welcome to Forbidden Door, folks! I'm Excalibur, and joining me at the commentator table are Taz and Y/N! We've got a thrilling match ahead, so let's get ready to rumble!"

Justin Roberts, the "Dapper Yapper", steps up to the microphone to introduce the competitors.

"First, making his way to the ring, Samoa Joe!"

The crowd erupts as Samoa Joe makes his entrance.

Justin Roberts continues, "Next, from Tokyo, Japan. The Wrestler Katsuyori Shibata!"

Shibata's music plays as he makes his way to the ring.

Justin Roberts announces, "And finally, he is Hook!"

Taz exclaims, "And there's the bat symbol! Beautiful sight, folks!"

Y/N adds, "I'm so proud of Hook. He's ready to put it all on the line tonight!"

The crowd cheers as Hook makes his entrance, joining Joe and Shibata in the ring.

Just then, as Chris Jerichos music hit the arena erupted in boos as Justin Roberts' voice echoed through the speakers. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the FTW Champion Chris Jericho!"

As Jericho's music played, Hook appeared beside me, his eyes locked on mine. "Hey, Mamas," he whispered, his lips brushing against my ear. "You look beautiful tonight."

My heart skipped a beat as he leaned in closer, his lips meeting mine in a soft, sweet kiss.

"Ah, damn, Hook! Save some of that love for the ring!" Taz joked, his voice breaking the spell.

Hook grinned, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Can't help it, dad. My girl is a real work of art."

With one last wink, he turned and made his way back to the ring, ready to face off against his opponents. I watched him go, my heart swelling with pride and love.

"Looks like someone's got a fan in the commentary booth, folks!" Excalibur teased, his voice full of amusement.

Taz chuckled beside me. "Yeah, and that someone is clearly smitten!"

I blushed, feeling my face heat up.

(Go to break)

Excalibur begins, “Welcome back to Forbidden Door, folks! We've got a thrilling match ahead, featuring Hook, Samoa Joe, and Katsuyori Shibata taking on Big Bill, Chris Jericho, and Jeff Cobb! And Hook's got some extra motivation tonight, courtesy of a good luck kiss from his 'Mamas'... or should I say, his beautiful fiancée, Y/N?”

Y/N laughs, "Hey, stop it, Excalibur!"

Taz chimes in, "Leave my soon-to-be daughter-in-law alone, Excalibur! She's taken, by the way... by my son, Hook!"

Excalibur continues, "Well, Hook's certainly got the skills to take on this formidable team. But Big Bill's power and Jericho's experience are not to be underestimated..."

Y/N exclaims, "Oh, nice move by Hook! That T-Bone was flawless, baby!"

Taz adds, "Yeah, but Jericho's not going down without a fight. He's got some tricks up his own sleeve... but my son's got this, for sure!"

Excalibur announces, "Shibata's taking it to Jeff Cobb now! This match is intense, folks! The action's non-stop!"

Y/N reacts, "Samoa Joe's got Big Bill in a chokehold! This could be it... oh my gosh!"

Taz exclaims, "No way, Jericho breaks it up! But Hook's not giving up... he's fighting for his future wife's honor, and his own pride!"

Excalibur declares, "And there it is! Hook gets the pin on Jericho! What a match! Looks like that good luck kiss from his fiancée paid off, big time!"

(Cut to a video package for the next match, showing the six competitors for the TNT title ladder match.)

Hook walks over to the commentary table, grinning, and says, "Hey, what's up guys? Just thought I'd drop by and celebrate my win... and maybe get some commentary tips from my beautiful fiancée."

Y/N laughs and playfully rolls her eyes, saying, "Oh, Hook. You're such a charmer.”

Taz chimes in, "Yeah, yeah. Save it for the post-match interview, Hook."

Shibata and Samoa Joe appeared behind Hook, Shibata grabbing him by the arm, and Joe says, "Cmon, lover boy! Let her be, she's got work to do, and YOU have a shower to take! You're starting to smell like a wrestler."

Y/N and Taz burst out laughing.

Taz adds, "Yeah, someone's got to keep Hook in check!"

(After forbidden door is over)

Taz and Y/N head backstage, searching for Hook, Joe, and Shibata. They finally find them in a dressing room, with Hook munching on chips and Joe and Shibata deep in conversation.

"Hey, guys! Great matches tonight!" Taz exclaims. "How about we celebrate with some food? My treat! I know this great spot nearby that's open late."

Joe and Shibata nod in agreement, and Hook grins, "Sounds good to me. I'm starving! And I could use a drink or two."

They all head out to their cars, with Hook and Y/N riding together. As they reach the car, Hook opens the door for Y/N, and she slides in, smiling up at him. Hook follows, and they share a few kisses before he starts the engine.

"You know, I think we could be a little late to dinner," Hook says with a sly grin, glancing towards the backseat. "We could, uh, take a detour."

Genuinely, what happened to “feminism is for everyone”?

That’s the feminism I grew up with: encouraging people to recognize that fighting sexism and restrictive gender roles helps folks of every gender. We’d push back on the idea that feminists hate men, pointing to inclusive feminist literature and how many men are feminists.

Now, there are so many people insisting that the solution to patriarchy is to openly hate and ostracize men no matter what. Why? What is the benefit? It’s certainly not effective in fighting oppressive structures to exclude half the population from your cause on the basis of immutable traits. It may feel cathartic to say horrible things about men and try to punish them for your frustrations with patriarchy. But the only actual effect I see is the increasing right-wing radicalization of young men, who are being told that the left hates them for the way they were born and presented with an abundance of proof that it’s true.

Why are we going back to treating men and women as different species? It doesn’t fix things to say “well women are the good gender and men are the bad one” this time. If you sincerely want to dismantle sexism, you’re going to have to unpack and let go of all sex and gender essentialism—even that which considers women inherently pure and men inherently immoral.

personally i think the funniest way of explaining anything off about the reported timeframes in your au is to have both stan & ford being absolutely terrible with time

stan being like damn the 50s sucks & little ford going its the 60s???? & ford going ‘nearly 30 years ago’ and fidds being like ford you’re like 30 that doesn’t make sense

I love that so much

designs for a zine piece! enjoy some background story my illustration never needed under the read more (fair warning I did NOT edit this at all):

newbie mage apprentices Sam and Tucker who became friends bc they're kinda… the ones at the bottom of their class and struggle the most, for different reasons. they become besties over time and practice together!

except one night, something goes terribly wrong. they spent the last few nights preparing for a project, a bigger spell that needs an intricate circle with precise measurements to work. but when they try to activate it, well… 

oops. they summoned a demon.

which is, for one, extremely illegal. only certified demonologists are allowed to summon demons because they're so dangerous. anything less than a perfect binding circle and thoroughly researched info on the demon, including their true name, is even remotely safe.

but, weirdly enough… the demon seems just as surprised as they are. as Sam and Tuck frantically try to figure out how to dispel the demon, they realize–oh god, did their circle actually sufficiently bind the demon? it can't leave. they watch the demon tentatively poke it's claws into the air around the boundary, and watch it fizzle, retreating back with a strained hiss.

okay. okay, they can do this. without death looming over their heads, they can figure out how to send the demon back. it's cool, it's fine. except while they leaf through their books, they notice the demon watching them. it looks kind of… curious. timid. interested in what they're doing. it catches them noticing his staring, and it. apologizes? it seems flustered?

weird, okay. they keep looking, and the demon starts talking. at first, little comments to itself. mumbles that soon get just loud enough to hear. little “ooh, is that a telescope?" and “is that what fire looks like up here?" and “that must be for making charcoal…”

Sam is the one brave enough to be like "are all demons as chatty as you??” and the demon gets flustered again, apologizing. says he's just never been topside before, he's only read about humans in tomes. oh wow is that the moon outside? it really IS blue up here! is it always blue? what are you doing up? I thought humans slept at night?

Sam and Tuck can't help getting pulled in with the demon's genuine curiosity. they're wary though, since they know demons can be clever, conniving. there's a number of ways a demon can get the upper hand on a summoner who has them bound. if he gets their full names, gets them to smudge and break the circle… there could also be ways they aren't aware of. so they consider their words carefully, but engage in some chatter while they research.

it's almost morning by the time they find a way to send the demon back–but as they prepare the spell, the demon says WAIT WAIT and they stop, uncertain. the demon starts stammering out how this is weird but like… he really had fun tonight. he doesn't get to just hang out much, especially with anyone his age.

Tuck is like “how do you know our ages??" and the demon points out "oh, you said something about Paulie’s 18th birthday party, so I thought…” and they're both like oh shit we didn't even notice we did that?

“Paulina" Sam corrects in her dumbfounded stupor. 

“Right, Paulina!" the demon snaps his fingers, but quickly loses his confidence when Sam and Tuck continue to stare at him like they're not sure what's going on. he coughs and fidgets and says “um, well, I was just wondering, I guess… if you wanted to summon me another time, I wouldn't mind. you see those circles there? yeah, that's what summoned me. the candles helped too I think. oh, it doesn't need all those runes though, probably don't want to redraw all those.”

Sam and Tuck are practically gawking, but… for some reason, this demon looks so sincere. so much like them, awkward and lonely and genuinely curious.

it's a bad idea. a terrible one, even. the demon probably noticed they're newbies and not demonologists. it could be hoping they make an error in their circle, or mess up a candle, or reveal their names on accident. 

But, well. They're stupid. they're also eager for anything to help them in school, and too empathetic for their own good. they send the demon off with a yeah, no. they then think about it for a week, and end up summoning the demon against their better judgment.

the demon is shocked and so happy, they can't help but be a little endeared. they lay down some ground rules, take care to be as safe as possible… and soon, this demon that introduces himself as “Phantom" becomes a nightly visitor. they talk about their worlds, find out they share a lot of common interests, and help each other in their studies. which, hello, demons also study? bro are you serious??

they play games, laugh till their ribs hurt, and open up to each other on a far deeper level than anyone expected. over time, Phantom becomes a true friend.

Sam and Tuck quietly begin to lament the fact Phantom is stuck in that damn circle. they want to take him places, let him see the human world he seems so interested in. they want to paint his stupid claws and noogie him between his dumb horns and hug him.

but it's an astronomical risk. it's legal for a demonologist with a proper permit, but it's still considered a grave taboo to grant access to a demon outside a circle. there's just too much at risk. demons can be dangerous enough to lay waste to entire towns, take multiple teams of military-rank mages to take down.

they wouldn't risk it… if they hadn't snuck into the library’s restricted section and copy a page from a demonologist book that gives them good framework for a contract. they make some edits to it though, giving Phantom at least a little wiggle room to protect himself if need be. and allow him use of transformation magic so he can hide somehow. but they spend weeks making sure they have airtight wording to ensure Phantom can't cause anyone or anything any substantial harm. 

when they finally bring the contract to Phantom, he's stunned. he cries. nothing needs to be said, they all know the gravity of their proposal. even if they ask for proof of Phantom's trust in turn, first. they ask for his full name, so they can bind him. just temporarily. but in that moment, they'll have full control over him. they could instead tell Phantom to serve them, force him to obey their every order. even if it's just for a moment, giving them his full name with the proper circle and incantation, is putting his life in their hands. 

Phantom, with tears still in his eyes, smiles warmly and nods. with only a breath to steel himself, he gives them his full name. Daniel James Fenton.

magic sparks in the circle, and Sam and Tuck finish the incantation. ethereal chains sprout up to wrap around Phantom's arms and legs, which makes him jump–but the unwavering trust in his eyes makes the two humans choke up.

they release the binding. all that's left is to break the containment barrier in the circle, so Phantom can walk free.

“Uh, about that…” Phantom laughs sheepishly… then proceeds to step outside of the circle, merely wincing when the barrier zaps around him.

Sam and Tucker gawk. Phantom scratches his neck. “Y-yeah, so… your barrier circle was already broken that first night. It's, uh… right over there. You missed a spot.”

abject horror overcomes them because this entire time Phantom's been visiting, he could have broken out? EASILY?? THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD.

Tucker falls to his knees, but soon starts to laugh. it's kind of hysterical at first but slowly, he and Sam are genuinely laughing. they're so STUPID, and Phantom is the most un-demonlike demon they've ever HEARD of. Phantom is still flustered, stammering out apologies because he wasn't trying to deceive them or anything! he just didn't want to scare them! without a proper containment circle they technically couldn't send him back either, so he just… went back using his own magic each time they “dispelled" him. 

once they've calmed down, Phantom morphs his body into a human form–which shock Sam and Tuck, because uh, only elite demons are capable of that. they were expecting an animal, or straight up going invisible. Phantom laughs it off, says he just, spent a lot of time practicing bc he's so interested in the human world (not a lie, but). he proceeds to adopt the nickname Danny, and they all have FUN WONDERFUL SHENANIGANS

(and sometime in the near future, when faced with something truly threatening he needs to protect them from, Danny reveals that. well. their contract also had some holes in it. and he's had access to his full demon power this whole time. whoopsie! it's a good thing he genuinely loves them and doesn't want to hurt anyone, or their asses would be SO dead lol)

they're about as normal about his full demon form as you'd expect from me btw:
