Idk just a weird story I got in the middle of the night

When Robin told Steve they were going to New York to see an old friend, the last thing on his mind was to end up in an underground queer bar with drag queens and prostitutes. I mean he’s not complaining, but why couldn’t they meet over coffee like friends, or just a regular bar, but no. It had to be a basement of a pizza restaurant where glitter and the sticky feeling was all around them. 

“Robin, are you sure this is the place?” he said as she moved through the crowd to a free table, in front of the small yet very illuminated stage “cuz i dont think… these are your type of friends?”

“Hey handsome” a transvestite placed a hand on his shoulder and let her long nail press along making him shiver “Want something to drink?”

Robin smiled, completely pleased with the situation his friend was it

“Give me a rum and coke, and for the gentleman… get him a shirley temple please”

“What?! No!” steve shook his head “ a beer is fine please”

“A rum and coke and shirley temple on their way” she laughs as she walks away

Robin laughs too as she takes her purse and places it on the table. Steve just flips her off and looks around trying to understand where they were. The drinks were eventually served, and thankfully Steve got his beer, but also a phone number.

“Wet Wendy?” Steve reads “Her name is Wet wendy…”

“I have heard worst” robin scruggs, “and come on, have fun, you’re a fresh bisexual, and you're surrounded by everything you might like, no need to stress”

Steve breathes deeply and looks around, and before he can say something a loud music starts. It's a 80s like beat that is quite slow, and the lights started to go down while the stage curtains open

“Steve, it's starting,” Robin says as she hands him a 20 dollar bill. 

On the stage there's a chair and a woman with her back to the audience. She has long, vicious hair that is curly and puffy. The person turns around and starts to sing the song. 

“We broke up on a tuesday, 

kicked me out with the rent paid

Ruined my credit

Stole my cute aesthetic”

And oh boy was Steve hooked. Other than the amazing hair, she was wearing some small yet clear devil horns. On her face was drawn a big white heart on her face, with the rest being red. The face on her though made his jeans tight, but just a bit. I'm talking bright blue eyeshadow, with some jewels and some big lashes that made the eyes pop brighter than ever he thought it was possible. There was a red lip tainted on her lips that were glossy and shiny. And the outfit was the best part of it all. She was wearing black pleather heels with red and black lingerie that fit like a glove. No to add a thigh corset that shaped the body like an hourglass. Steve was drooling.

But when the bridge started steve was pretty sure he was in heaven

It’s hot

When you have a meltdown 

In the front of your house 

And you’re getting kicked out 

It’s hot

When you’re drinking downtown

And you’re getting called out 

Cause you’re running your mouth 

Oh god

The way she crawled on the floor while lip syncing the moans of the song made Steve's ears burn like a fever. She then layed on the floor on her back, to then arch it and show the red wine bra that had black jewels like nippels. She then got on her feet and got off the stage and walked around. People started to hand her dollars and she just grabbed them, stuffed them on her bra and then painties. Steve had to blink twice to make sure he was awake. 

The girl then noticed him. He cracked. He let out a sigh like a moan as she locked eyes with her. Her dark brown almost black eyes looked like those supernovae in Dustin space books. It just got him trapped voluntarily and it made him gulp. She started to strut to him and grabbed him by the jaw to look up at her. 

Ruin your life 

You losing you mind

You dying your hair 

People say I’m jealous but my kink is watching you

crashing your car 

You breaking your heart

You thinking I care

People say I’m jealous but my kink is karma 

She sang those words as she stared at him and smirked while taking a seat on his lap. God he was in trouble now. It took everything in him to stay still and not let his third leg rise up, but sometimes things just happen and it's inevitable. He looked up at her so ashamed and sorry for what he's doing, and for making her uncomfortable. She is trying to do her job and here is Steve with his willy hard. But it was as he looked up in awe at her, as she sang to the audience while dancing on him, that she enjoyed it of sorts. She then looked down at him, smirked and kissed him, hardly leaving a bright red stain on his lips that he would rather die than to take it off. 

She climbed off him and walked back to the stage to dance where she made it very clear that not only she loves the attention but also loves the feeling on the stage. She belongs there, with her hair flowing with her moves. The way she portrays the song made it feel like she was singing to him and only him. Steve felt like he was in a world with only him and her. It was crazy.

He didn't even realize she had left until robin was snapping her finger in front of him. He looked at her and blinked again quickly and looked around

“Where did she go?” 

“Her set finished 10 minutes ago, have you just been imagining her this entire time you perv?” she laughs, but steve just stares at her

“I need to meet her” he says

“Well you will”

“What!?”

“Yeah! In a few so go to the bathroom and get yourself together men, your friend joined the party, and that not really cute when meeting new people”

Steve stood up and ran to the bathroom that thank the lord was empty at the time. He washed his face and removed the lipstick stain from his lips  and tried to calm down whatever was happening with him and his body at the moment. God he's about to meet her! He need to make a great first impression because then he’s fucked. He moved his hair from one side to another till it looked great. He smiled to the mirror and winked hyping himself up. 

“Come on harrington, you got this' ' He said before leaving the bathroom.

Robin and him walked toward the back of the so-called bar to where a room with a star on the door hung where the word “dressing room” was written. Robin knocked twice before opening the door to find a bunch of men in makeup and robes running around changing wig and shoes. But on the very end, the dark curly mane stood up clearly. Steve swallowed and inhaled deeply as they walked into the dressing room towards her. She was wearing one of those 50s womens robes with the edge being fur. It was black with red fur and it was transparent enough for Steve to see some tattoos on her back that he didn't seem to see earlier. 

“Hey!!” Robin said excitedly and she turned around.

Steve’s smiles didn’t fall… but it definitely twitched.

“Hey robs” Eddie munson said with a cig on his lips. 

He looked better than Steve remembered from high school. He looked…. Amazing actually. The way his jaw was sharp and fine, his smirk was wider and flirtier than ever. He looked…. Even better than the stage.

“How are you feeling harrington?” he smirked “didn’t know you were one for underground bars, i thought you were more of a… 3 star michelin kind of guy”

The way he smoothed talked and slithered into Steve’s head made him literally stutter with his words

“I-i-i  I mean- You- wha- li-” he then gave up trying to speak and just nodded subtly “yep”

FILE .

nikolaos “nick” alexander yilmaz was born into a world that gleamed like polished gold. in the sprawling estate along the los angeles hills, he was a prince of two worlds—politics and hollywood, a child raised under the joint glow of senate chambers and red carpets. his mothers, senator defne yilmaz and actress alexandra rose, adored him; his siblings laughed and played with him without reserve. to the outside world, the yilmaz-rose family was a modern pantheon, untouchable in their glamour and power. yet nick, even from a young age, felt something tugging at him from beneath the surface, something that whispered he didn’t quite fit. there were nights when he’d sit in his room, stroking chloe, his white persian cat, and wonder why the warmth of his family’s love never seemed to reach that cold, quiet part of him. and so, he worked to fill the void. excellence became his craft, his weapon. in every room, he had to be the smartest, the fastest, the most charming. if he could be perfect, perhaps he could outrun the gnawing sense that he was an outsider in his own life.

then the truth came crashing down like a thunderbolt. he was not merely a son of privilege, but the son of hera, queen of the gods. a divine secret, woven into his very blood, had set him apart all along. for a time, he basked in this revelation, his carefully built confidence swelling with the knowledge that he was chosen, special. what better proof of his superiority? yet, as the weeks passed and the awe faded, the questions crept in. what did it mean to be hera’s son? not a gift of love but a calculated strike against zeus, her eternal rival. nick began to see himself not as a prince among mortals but as a pawn in a divine quarrel. his crafted charm, his gilded façade, cracked under the weight of it. the only creature who saw the boy behind the mask was chloe, who purred in his lap as he tried, and failed, to piece himself together.

when the call to serve as one of ogygia’s guardians came, nick answered it with his signature smirk, though his heart wavered beneath the surface. he had always succeeded at everything—why should this be any different? but the island was not los angeles, and the other guardians were not star-struck mortals. they were seasoned, disciplined, and aware of their place in the grand tapestry of the gods. nick, by contrast, felt like a novice playing at greatness. his inexperience gnawed at him as fiercely as the cold had in his childhood, and yet his pride refused to let him falter in their eyes. when others offered to teach him, he waved them off with a casual, “don’t worry, i’ve got it,” though he was drowning in self-doubt. two months on the island had only deepened his frustration. every stumble, every lesson he refused to learn, chipped away at the flawless image he so desperately clung to. the boy who had always been too proud to ask for help now stood on the edge of something greater, his path uncertain. whether he would rise to meet it or shatter under the weight of his own expectations, only the fates could tell.

[henry-etta]

[ ruby cruz, she/her, cis woman ] — was that HENRIETTA ETTA EATON? the TWENTY THREE year old is the DUCHESS of KNIGHTON, how exciting to see them this season! rumors have it they are TALENTED and CHARISMATIC, but i’ve heard they are OVERCONFIDENT and FLASHY as well — maybe that’s why they’ve been called the HOYDEN. I have even heard that SHE MUST FIND A SUITOR THIS SEASON TO SECURE HER LATE FATHER'S LINE — only time will tell.

name: Henrietta Etta Eaton

age: 23

birthday: March 31st

sign: aries

orientation: bisexual

family: Michael Eaton (father, deceased), Tamsin Eaton (mother)

title: Duchess of Knighton

label: The Hoyden

DUCHESS OF KNIGHTON — hoyden: a bold, and carefree girl; a tomboy

Henrietta was a peculiar girl from a very young age, as it was apparent to anyone who met her. It was, and continues to be, much to her mother’s dismay, but she tolerated it because it always made her father smile.

She was always loud and rambunctious, eager for play and adventure, happiest when she made others laugh. Still, she did as her mother instructed and stuck to her lessons, learning how to walk and talk properly, how to play the pianoforte, read the history of the nation, sew the perfect cross stitch. As the only child of the Duke of Knighton— much as they did try to have another— it was what was expected of her, to become the perfect, beautiful, well-rounded heir to be sought after. It should go rather smoothly by the time of her debut, considering how much status and money their family had, as long as Henrietta didn’t screw it up.

In her adolescence, she began to grow jealous of her male friends who would boast about fencing lessons, horseback riding, sailing, and the like. She knew she wouldn’t grow jealous for long, however, because as daddy’s little girl, all she had to do was smile just right, and her father convinced her mother to let her add those lessons into her curriculum. It would only make her more well-rounded and talented, right?

She had no problem in the dresses and corsets, or the speech lessons and etiquette, she liked it all half of the week. But the other half, she found herself enjoying walking out in trousers and learning how to shoot a rifle with her father just as much. It was a balance, and even if others might have thought it strange, it was what made her her. However, her mother’s last straw came at about fourteen.

One of the most beloved people in her world, her housekeeper Gabriela— who had been there the day she was born— often liked to go by Gabe, and Henrietta couldn’t stop turning over the feeling of envy and longing every time she heard that name. Sometime around this age, she went to her parents and asked to be called Henry. Her mother told her to stop being a fool at once, or the oddity would surely put her poor mother in an early grave. She rolled her eyes and conceded, but not before a compromise. From that day forward she requested to always be called Etta, and dared anyone else to try different. The name caught on, and she could leave the dreadful business of Henrietta behind.

Etta debuted two years ago, but without much pressure to secure a match and mostly just to get herself acquainted with the scene. She was already pretty familiar with the ton, but found it even more exciting to mingle and dance and socialize with everyone in their fanciest suits and most glittering jewelry. She reveled in the drama of it all, happy to get a smile and waltz out of anyone.

(tw: death) At the end of the last year, however, the fun halted to a stop when the Duke of Knighton suddenly passed. It must have been a stroke, the doctors said, but he passed in his sleep next to his beloved wife, leaving her behind and their only heir to the name and estate.

Etta has compartmentalized a fair chunk of her grief after wasting away in empty somberness for a month or two. She's tucked it away and returned to the bright and bold girl she was, though now with heavier shoulders as she learns all she can about her family's businesses and accounts. She and her mother know that much as she likes to mess around and make fun and smile at any pretty girl or guy, at the end of the season, Etta must grow up and find the husband that will take care of her family and the Knighton estate.

The Stick of Truth

Codename: Dovahkiin Part 1!

N.K. is angry at her parents. Not only did they move again, no, but they moved into a snowy hicktown named South Park! She was sure she would hate it there, yet surprisingly she gets to participate in the epic RPG the kids play and falls for the human princess and the elf king. Who is friend, who is foe and which side should she choose?

Main Pairing: New Kid/Kenny McCormick/Kyle Broflovski

Chapter 1: Quiet little mountain town

Dear Dairy,

so here we are again.

Moved after a few weeks in Seattle now to this shitty little town named South Park in buttfucking Colorado.

I already hate it here.

It’s a tiny hole, in the middle of nowhere, right at the Meridian of misery and suffering.

This town doesn’t even have a Game Stop!

How the hell I’m supposed to get new cards for my YU-GI-OH! Deck and buy new games and anime merchandise?

Back to Amazon, it seems.

Gosh, I bet these people don’t even know what cosplay is!

Why did we need to move again?

I was happy in Seattle.

I had a nice group of friends and hot Serena Matthews wanted to go on a second date with me!

And yet, poof, again, my nomadic parents had us moved.

I will never understand them.

I’m only eleven, my body started puberty and I can’t outlive it because my parents get this urge to randomly move us from here to there.

This is such bullshit!

I wanna be a pre-teen, watch anime and talk about it with friends. Play Duel Monsters and beat asses. Cosplaying and playing video games and dear heaven kiss girls, boys, or whatever!

Serena was such a good kisser!

And her red hair was so lovely!

In this hicktown, there aren’t for sure bisexual people like me. Or god forbid lesbians. I don’t think I will like the straight dudes in this town.

I’m allergic to straight.

Yuck!

Okay, jokes aside, why this little shit town?

Couldn’t we move to California, if it was so necessary to move?

I just want to again live on the ocean side.

A loud knock was heard on my door, followed by my Mamma’s voice: “Sweetie? Hon, you all dressed?”

I look up from my Dairy. I’m sitting against my bedframe, knees up, balancing my dairy on them, and writing about my woe.

I close it with my red glitter pen between the two pages I wrote for today.

“Yes, Mamma, you can come in.”, I let her know.

Not a second later both my parents enter my room.

“Hey, princess. How do you like your new room?”, ask me my Papà.

I look around the half-finished room with the still-to-open cartons. It was bigger than my room in Seattle for sure.

“It’s all right.”, I decide.

This makes my parents smile happily.

At least they are happy.

“I know it's a big change for all of us, but ... princess, do you ... REMEMBER why we moved to this quiet little mountain town?”, wants my Papà to know.

I frown and rub my head.

That’s actually a good question.

It is all sort of a blur.

I have this sometimes. That I forget things, and can’t remember them.

Don’t know why, it has always been like this.

I learned to live with it.

The most I remember from our last day in Seattle is asking beautiful Serena for a second date and she agreed. Then going with my gang to Game Stop to buy some more children’s card games and then…then I was in our car and my parents told me, that we are moving to South Park.

Yeah, that’s about it.

The rest is a black blurb.

I rub my head harder and feel a headache forming. It’s better to stop thinking about it.

“Because you got the itch to move again.”, I answer my parents with sass.

Normally I would get called out, but strangely my parents seem to be happy about it and are whispering to each other. I can’t quite grasp what they mumble to each other.

A frown forms on my face.

If this is not suspicious, I’m straight.

“Uh, sweetie, we want you to have lots of fun here.”, turns my Mamma back to me. ”Why don't you go out and make some friends?”

“Right, get outside and PLAY, princess. Like ... like normal kids.”, adds my Papà.

“Why do you have to say it like that?”, I wonder and frown deeper.

My Mamma gives Papà a little whack on the head, which makes him whine and rub the hurting spot.

“Don’t listen to your Papà, he is just being silly, right, Chris?”

“Sure, Kelly.”

“We've got some money for you on the kitchen counter, sweetie.”, informs me, Mamma. “Just ... be back before it gets dark.”

Not like I have anything better to do than to whine at my dairy. Maybe I walk will do me good. I hardly doubt I can make friends with these hicktown children.

I’m way too queer for them.

So I put my dairy on my night table and nod.

“Of course, Mamma. I love you both.”

Even if you drag me around all of America.

“Yeah, we love you too.”, say’s Papà for both of them and they leave my room with small smiles on their faces.

I put my hands in the pocket of my pink hoodie and sign.

Well, let’s go, shall we?

I sigh loudly and watch how my breath turns white in front of me.

I’m not fucking Elsa and the cold fucking bothers me anytime!

My parents know I love warm places more, but no we had to move to this snowy hicktown.

I hate everything.

I’m glad I put my black jacket over my hoodie and gripped a pink wool hat before I got out of the house.

Dear Ra, how can people survive in this climate?

I walk down the little path to the sidewalk and for the first time today, something interesting happens.

On my left side, a little barricade is up, with a red flag, and written on it is No Humans.

Well, that IS unexpected.

What could this mean?

I decide to go right, maybe I will find some clue about what that is about.

That is when I see two little fourth-graders, one dressed as an elf and the other in a long blue robe, fighting against each other.

These little dudes seem to give their all.

“You shall die by my Warhammer, Drow Elf!”, yells the blond-haired boy.

“Nuh-uh!”, disagrees the Drow Elf.

“I banish thee to the forest realm!”

“No way, I banished you first! AHA! You can't hold out much longer!”

“Help! Somebody!! I can't hold out much longer!! Heeeeelp!”

This is all very interesting I decide and has surely to do with the sign I saw. Are they LARPing, perhaps?

Anyway, this hicktown turned exciting from 0 to a solid 8.

I must know what this is about.

But for that, I should help the little blond dude.

So I grip the Drow Elf by his clothes and tear him away from the blond boy.

“Hey, no fair. That's cheating. I'm gonna tell my mom.”, whines the Drow Elf and runs away.

Probably to his mom.

The little blond-haired boy smiles up at me, I’m at least a head taller than him, and says: “Thanks, kid. I didn't realize he had a health potion. My- my name is Butters the Merciful. I'm a paladin. I live right next door to you. We should be friends!”

LARPing, called it!

I can live with that!

“It’s whatever.”, I wave Butters off. What kind of name is this anyway? Weird. “And sure let’s be friends.”

This makes the little dude happy and I get a new Facebook friend. Why this always happens when I meet new people I haven’t the faintest idea.

It’s one of a weird me things that I don’t get.

“Now that we're friends, you should speak with the Wizard King! He's been talking about your arrival. The Wizard lives this way. In the green house, over there.”

“Sure, why not?”

Not like I have anything better to do and I like LARPing. It is really fun.

So I follow Butter, while he asks me questions.

“Hey, where are you from?”

“Was born in Washington D.C., but never really lived there.”

“Where'd you live before moving here?”

“Seattle.”

“Do you like Colorado?”

“To snowy for my taste.”

“Why are you wearing your hair like that?”

“I like bob-cuts. Long hair takes way too much time to groom it.”

“You don't talk much, do ya?”

“Meh.”

“That's ok, I can talk for both of us!”

You surely do Butters. The little fourth grader is amusing. Really happy-go-lucky it seems.

We reach the green-colored house and my new friend knocks. A little fat kid who tries his hardest to be a wizard opens the door.

With my super detective skills, I detect that this must be the Wizard King. Yet, Butter screams it to the heavens.

At least they seem dedicated to their LARPing.

“So, you are the New Kid.”, guesses the Wizard King right. “Your coming was foretold by Coldwell Banker. I am the Wizard King. But the time for talk is not nigh. Let me show you my kingdom.”

“All right.”, I just say and follow the two smaller boys into the house.

“Ohh, who's your new friend, Eric?”, asks a brunette woman the Wizard King.

“Shut up, mom, not now.”

The Wizard King or Eric seems to be kind of a dick. I would never talk to my parents like that.

“Hello, ma’am, nice to meet you.”, I greet her with my best smile.

She can’t even answer as Eric tells me that she isn’t part of the game and I shouldn’t talk to her.

Wow, rude much?

He is a dick.

Still, I follow him and Butter to his backyard. I’m way too curious about what’s there.

“Welcome ... to the Kingdom of Kupa Keep!”, presents me, Eric, his backyard.

I must say, you see that the kids tried to make their best what they had and it’s kinda okay. Can’t expect a masterpiece from 10 years old.

So I simply say: “Nice, dude.”

The answer pleases Eric and he gives me a tour. First, he leads me to the Armory where a brunette boy with a silver helmet stands.

“Our weapon shop here is tended by Clyde, a level 14 warrior.”, tells me, Eric.

I give Clyde a wave and we move to the stables.

“Here you can see our massive stables, overseen by the level 9 ranger Scott Malkinson, who has the power of diabetes.”

What kind of power is diabetes?

From what I know it is a really huge hassle.

I nod to Scott and follow Eric to…Princess Zelda?

The person now before me wears a costume and a blond wig which reminds me a lot of her.

Is Link somewhere too?

Princess Zelda rip-off twirls one of her fake blond locks around her finger and gives a soft giggle.

She pats her eyelashes at me.

I have a feeling she is flirting with me…well she has really beautiful blue eyes from what can I see since her face is covered mostly by her orange parker.

 “And here, of course, is the breathtaking and lovely Princess Kenny. The fairest maiden in all the kingdom.”, presents Eric her. “Don't ask why Kenny wanted to be a chick, it's just how he seems to be rolling right now.”

Ah, so the princess is actually a boy!

So either he/she is genderfluid or attracted to more than one gender or both since she is clearly hitting on me.

I’m damn happy that there is at least one queer kid in this town!

So nothing bad with flirting back.

I give her a wick and she giggles more behind her hand.

Nailed it.

I decide to talk to her.

“Hey beautiful, how it’s going?”, I ask her and path my own eyelashes.

Again she giggles cutely and…she wishes for a flower? Her speech is so muffled thanks to the parker that I only understood a part.

Where do I get a flower now?

I look around the kingdom and see a daffodil. That we will do!

Quickly I pick it up and present her the flower with a bow.

She gasps happily, taking it.

“A daffodil for me?? Teeheehee, you shouldn't have.”

“Its beauty is nothing against yours, your highness.”, I flirt, which makes her wave her hand before her face and I can see that she is turning red.

Still got it.

“Hey New Kid are you done now? We got shit to do.”, calls the Wizard King for my attention.

I send the princess a kiss and join up with him and Butters.

“You have been sought out, New Kid, because humans everywhere are in great danger. I need something from you and, in return, I am prepared to allow you into my kingdom. I know you are very excited. It's time for your first quest, but first - please tell us thy name.”

“I’m Novella-Karin Campo. But people mostly call me N.K.”, I introduce myself.

Both Eric and Butters stare at me. What’s up with that look?

“That’s a really-“

Butters can’t even finish his sentence, as Eric starts to laugh like a manic holding his chubby belly.

“Hahahaha, that’s the douche’s name I ever heard for a dude! Hahaha, New Kid, your parents must fucking hate you. Hahaha!”

…Did he just call me a dude?!

Oh jeez, not again!

People sometimes mistake me for a boy, I don’t know why.

I clearly look like a girl, even if I have a bob cut!

For Ra Sake, I already need to wear a bra! And both my ears are pierced!

Why is this happening again?

I open my mouth to tell chubby that I’m female and identify as one, as I see how Butters shakes his head and makes Aport-the-mission signs.

Clearly, I shouldn’t correct Eric.

Oh, I have a feeling, and also thanks to Butters, that Eric doesn’t let girls play with them.

But I wanna play with them.

So I have to pretend to be a boy.

Oh well, if Kenny a boy can be Princess Zelda, then I a girl can be Link. I still have somewhere my old Link cosplay from last year’s Comic-Con.

It’s not tragic.

Eric finally calms down from his laughing and grins wicked.

I don’t like this face.

“You know what N.K., since you already have a douche name I think it’s fitting for you to be called…Douchebag!”

Asshole.

I grit my teeth and fight against the urge to punch this fuckers face in.

What one endures, just to not die of boredom!

“You will now choose a class: Fighter, Mage, Thief, or Jew.”

“Jew?”, I repeated confused.

How can be Jew a class in a LARPing, isn’t it more a religion?

“Jew, huh? So I guess we'll never really be friends.”

“No, I was just surprised to hear that!”, I tell him. “I take the mage.”

“Then we welcome to our kingdom Douchebag the Mage!”, proclaims Eric.

Butters cheers for me, meanwhile I plan how I can take revenge on Eric for dubbing me Douchebag. If I ever get the chance to kick his ass, I will take it, whatever I have to do!

Butters hands me the Mage gear and I decide that I definitely will go home and put one of my cosplays on.

I have a beautiful Dark Magician Girl Cosplay, sadly I think I should probably go with Link for the time being.

So long till I get what beef Eric has with girls and how I can make myself so valuable in this game that he doesn’t kick me out from it.

It is quite clear that Eric calls the shots here.

Just my luck.

Now he wants from me that I get a weapon, so I walk over to Clyde.

“Would you like to see my wares, weary traveler?”, ask me the brunette boy. “Perhaps you would like to hear tips and rumors for two dollars?”

I have a feeling that this is a scam, so I just ask him to show me his weapons.

Sadly it seems I can only buy the twig since the weapons have levels and my level is apparently too low.

I give the kids this, they are really creative.

With my new weapon, I return to Eric. Time to learn how to fight!

Next

[runawaymun]

For the character ask: Galadriel (or Artanis if the time period is preferred) :)

1: sexuality headcanon

Ragingly bisexual & had a Thing with Luthien. Big strap energy.

2: otp

Galadriel/Celeborn. He's Wife Guy and I love them together.

3: brotp

Glorfindel! Shared experiences with the grinding ice and first age in general. I think there's a real sense of easy familiarity and fondness between the two of them, and I headcannon that she uses Laurefindele in reference to him and he uses Artanis in reference to her. They swap war stories about Turgon together :)

4: notp

Haladriel. I keep seeing fics with Celebrian as a Haladriel baby and I want to kms. I am horrified. I am disgusted. I commit my life to my lord and savior jesus christ--

I just hate it so much. Not least of all for the Celeborn erasure but mostly for how it cheapens both characters and has some problematic implications for how we treat women in fiction. I hate hate hate the whole "she has the potential to save him from himself/bring him back from the brink of insanity/hold him in check" die die die stop romanticising relationships in which one party is responsible for the actions of another especially ESPECIALLY women with men. Women are not here to "civilize" men. And just in general please give Mairon more credit than that. No. He is not refraining from certain actions because he wants that pussy. He is refraining from certain actions because he has long term plans and is capable of strategic thought. No, he is not offering for Galadriel to be "his queen" in a romantic sense. He is manipulating her just like Morgoth manipulated Feanor by playing to that disastrous genetic Noldorin arrogance. Also she's clearly grieving her husband and in no way in a position to have a relationship with anyone, least of all a corrupt maia. I know there's like... let people ship what they want and relationships don't all have to be healthy and unproblematic or whatever but I just take a LOT of issues with the way Haladriel is romanticised. And just...with it. In general. As a ship. It's bad & i hate it. UGHHHH I could go on about this for ages I am so sorry. There are very few ships that I hate more than fucking Haladriel.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

She collects butterflies. It's her special interest! She has a whole butterfly garden in Lorien & popular gifts from Celeborn include rare sourced caterpillars to add to her garden for her to bond with and study.

6: favorite line from this character

And you, Ring-bearer,’ she said, turning to Frodo. ‘I come to you last who are not last in my thoughts. For you I have prepared this.’ She held up a small crystal phial: it glittered as she moved it, and rays of white light sprang from her hand. ‘In this phial,’ she said, ‘is caught the light of Eärendil’s star, set amid the waters of my fountain. It will shine still brighter when night is about you. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

I think I really do have something of that pitfall of ambition & wanting to be someone and do things -- which is not in of itself a bad thing but it can become unhealthy and detrimental, which I think is part of why Galadriel's arc of desiring power and a kingdom, sailing to Middle Earth, but then kind of settling into a more background role of preservation & guidance and ultimately choosing to resist that core temptation the Ring offers her and sailing back home to simply be Galadriel is very meaningful to me.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

She has boomer energy in my head. Can't really elaborate on any specifics but every time she shows up in longfics that take place in the third age she has moments that feel like trying to watch my parents use a cellphone.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Half cinnamon roll half problematic fave imo.

[indigowallbreaker]

Ooh seasonal prompt: the blue lions (whichever or all of them) at a pride celebration/parade?

(There was no way to do this in 3 sentences so uh. Have a whole fic instead :3 Packed full of headcanons of course!)

By the time Mercedes and Annette came back from the grocery store-- weighed down with extra water bottles and a variety of snacks-- it looked as if their friends were nearly ready for the pride parade. A laptop in the corner of the living room was shuffling through a playlist of all their favorite songs, perfectly underscoring the mild chaos Mercedes’ apartment now contained.

Ashe sat on the floor surrounded by his pride pin collection, apparently trying to organize them on his backpack. The pack already bore many styles of the bisexual flag but Ashe seemed to be stuck on where to place his two polyamorous pins. Beside him sat Felix, who wore Mercedes’ spare trans flag as a cape and looked annoyed at Ashe’s fastidious decorating. 

Over on the couch, both of Sylvain’s cheeks were painted with the stripes of the asexual flag. He was attempting to convince Dimitri to add flare to his eyepatch. “Maybe you could write ‘A Bi For An Eye’ or something?” Sylvain suggested, smeering sunscreen on his arms.

Dimitri laughed. “You think that would fit on a single eyepatch?” He was fiddling with a rainbow fan, opening it and closing it with a rhythm that betrayed his nerves. Mercedes didn’t blame him. While Mercedes, Annette, and Sylvain had attended pride parades before, this would be everyone else’s first time. 

When Dedue came forward to help with the shopping bags, Mercedes motioned for them to lower their head so she could speak in their ear. “If anyone gets too overwhelmed, you can use my spare key to bring them back here.”

“Understood,” Dedue said with a solemn nod.

Mercedes smiled and pecked them on the cheek. “That includes you too, you know!” Chuckling, Dedue followed Annette into the kitchen-- her white, pink, and blue hair ribbons flowing behind her. There was just one person left to check on.

Ingrid stood in the bedroom almost exactly where Mercedes had left her. Brightly colored outfits lay on the bed, surrounded by glittering jewelry and a small pile of pride-themed trinkets Mercedes had accumulated over the years. Ingrid was staring at them with a hand to her chin, eyebrows furrowed, mouth a tight frown.

“We’re almost ready,” Mercedes said as she stepped inside. “Have you made any progress?”

“I picked out these shoes,” Ingrid said, shaking one foot to draw attention to her sneakers without looking away from the bed. “They should be comfortable enough for standing around in.”

Mercedes joined Ingrid by the bed. “That’s a very good start,” she praised. 

Ingrid hummed distractedly. Then she sighed and ran both hands through her short blonde hair. “I just don’t know, Mercedes.”

“That’s okay! No one said you had to pick a label.”

“But I have to be something, right?” Ingrid gestured down at herself, looking at Mercedes with something close to desperation. “I mean, I like girls, but I kind of like boys too sometimes. And then there’s-- well, I was doing some research online last week and I think I might be aromantic? But I’m still not sure.”

Ingrid let out a groan and sank onto the bed, displacing a few potential outfits. “How can I have pride in something I’m not sure about? Something I didn’t know existed 8 days ago? I might not even be right!” Ingrid lowered her face into her hands with another defeated exhale. 

A floorboard creaked behind Mercedes, and she turned to see everyone clustered around the doorway, watching Ingrid with troubled expressions. She put her finger to her lips to keep them quiet.

Crossing to her closet, Mercedes called over her shoulder. “What was that first thing you said?”

Ingrid hesitated. “Um. I like girls?”

“Then here.” Mercedes pulled a hat from the top shelf and held it out to Ingrid with a grin. The hat was white, with the words ‘Girl Liker’ embroidered in black cursive across the front. 

Ingrid stared at the hat, reading the simple phrase again and again. Still grinning, Mercedes put it on Ingrid’s head. “You don’t have to “be” anything, Ingrid,” she said as Ingrid adjusted the hat. “You can just come out with us and have a fun day.”

“And it’s gonna be a lot of fun!” Annette chirped from the doorway. Ingrid jumped, noticing the audience for the first time.

“All this fuss,” Felix scoffed. “If you wear something colorful enough, no one will care what you are or aren’t.”

“Felix is correct, even if he phrased it poorly,” Dimitri said, earning himself a glare from Felix.

Ashe approached Ingrid and held out one of his many buttons, this one just a rainbow. “If nothing else, this flag’s got you. That’s what it’s for, after all.” 

Ingrid took the pin and turned it in her hand. It looked a bit rusted around the edges. Mercedes wondered how long Ashe had owned it. Then, with a small smile, Ingrid closed her fist around it. “Thank you, everyone,” she said. “I apologize for my outburst.”

“Nothing to apologize for!” Mercedes made a shooing motion at their friends. “It’s my turn to get changed and then I expect everyone to be ready to go! Don’t forget to pack water!” With some gentle encouragement from Dedue, the others left the doorway, Sylvain closing the door with a wink at Ingrid. 

Hands on her hips, Mercedes turned back to Ingrid, who sat straighter now with her hat and her pin. “Okay! Let’s finish your makeover!”  

[angelicamerlinbarnes]

How each of the Hargreeves siblings came out (they’re all queer don’t argue with me)

Five: he/him (trans), asexual aromantic

Five has been adamant about being a boy since age three. Reginald hated this, persistently calling Five by female pronouns, but he remained defiant and his siblings backed him up. Reginald never referred to him as a son over a daughter, even though Grace, an all-knowing robot who could only see logic and facts, called Five a boy the moment they were introduced.

My girlfriend would like to add that Five is the only sibling who didn't choose a name because he didn't want a girl's name.

As for his sexuality, Five’s only true emotional “romantic” connection was to a mannequin named Dolores. Nobody really needed him to explain that. But he one day does explain to his family that they’re really the only connections he needs - he calls them his “queerplatonic partners”, explaining that that basically means he considers them partners, in every sense of the word except romantic and sexual. He’s never explicit about it, but the others soon come to realize that he holds Klaus and Diego closer than the others, though even Five doesn’t seem to know why.

Klaus: he/they/she (genderfluid), gay / pansexual

He starts wearing dresses when he’s ten-ish. His siblings don’t want to misgender him, because they already know how much Five struggles, so they start to refer to him as “they”, which he doesn’t seem to mind. Eventually Diego is brave enough to ask, to which Klaus responds that he doesn’t really care.

Klaus has been kissing anything that breathes since he first deciding kissing wasn’t all that disgusting. He prefers boys, obviously, but really he’s down for just about anything. And he didn’t really come out, he just kind of… opened his mouth.

Vanya: she/her, lesbian

She represses it so far down she can barely feel it by the time she’s eighteen. Dating men she knows it won’t work out with is just the next step in her compulsory heterosexuality. She’s not sure why she’s so afraid of anyone finding out, especially since her siblings have always been more than supportive of each other. Eventually, after losing Sissy, she chooses to tell her siblings how she felt about her. They accept her with open arms (and, in Klaus’ case, a lot of glitter).

Diego: he/him, bisexual

Diego has never cared much about romance. He wants it as much as anybody, sure, but with his life, it’s never been a priority. Still, he read plenty of comic books in his fucked-up childhood, and even a himbo like Diego could figure out what it meant that he found Captain America just as hot as Black Widow. As for how he told his siblings, well… he just kind of picked up on Klaus’ habit of flirting with anything that moved. (He especially hits it off with bartenders.)

Allison: she/her, pansexual

Her coming out was louder than expected. Long story short, she developed major crushes on Cinderella and Belle and started talking about liking girls with Klaus and Diego (the only two who were already out). (Vanya used to hang out in the background, which confused Allison then but makes way more sense now.) But when Reginald caught wift of these talks, he confronted Allison over dinner, where he again referred to Five as a girl. And Allison, well… Allison kind of lost her shit. (She blacked out during it, but her siblings tell her she screamed arguments for equal rights at him until her voice was hoarse and she had run out of cuss words.)

Luther: he/him, bisexual

He found Klaus’ stash of indecent magazines. He knew what it meant, to love every body in there. But he’s not gonna talk about it. He’s not gonna think about it. If he doesn’t feel it, it doesn’t exist. Besides, it’s not like anyone will ever love him anyway, right? (He’s never coming out. Let him die in the closet in peace.)

Ben: he/him, asexual panromantic

Ben died before he could figure it out. But travelling around with Klaus, he met all sorts of people. And they were all intoxicating and beautiful and interesting, just like Klaus. And Ben got to wondering what it’d be like to kiss those people if he had a real mouth. And he came to terms with the fact that he was anything but straight, leading to his confession to Klaus, who simply smiled and cracked a joke about there being no straight Hargreeves left.

[rhirhi1234]

So I was thinking queerly cause it’s less than a fort it’s till June, which is pride month, and I was also think about dc superheroes. So naturally my mind went to the superheroes being like celebrities and coming out in interviews with the press and fans.

I personally head canon Dick Grayson/Nightwing as bisexual. I feel like Dick came out by coincidence. Like, he already knew he was bi and just happened to have had an interview during or around Pride and a reporter asked what he’d like to say to the community and he just said that he’s bi and that he hopes everyone has a safe and happy Pride month.

I head canon Tim Drake/Red Robin (yum) as gay. I think he was nagged into an interview and was asked if he had a girlfriend. He said no and then realised halfway through the next question that he isn’t single. He doesn’t have a girlfriend he has a boyfriend (timkon).

I head canon Jason Todd/The Red Hood as pansexual. Jason doesn’t really do interviews being, y’know, a drug cartel leader, legally dead, a murderer, weapons dealer and all of that. But, kids on the streets he patrols, like Crime Alley and the more crime ridden parts of town, just know that you can go up to him and ask him almost anything. So a couple of kids just waddle up to him all nervous and stammering recording it all on their phone, and mutter about asking him if he’s also a part of the LGBTQIA+ community or if he’s an ally and wants to say something, and Jason tells them to speak up, ‘it’s Pride not Fear’, and says that ‘yea, I’m pan. I gotta go, you kids stay outta trouble and photoshop me a second six-pack while you’re editing’ and just goes about his regular patrol.

I know this is ooc but I don’t see why Billy Batson/Captain Marvel/Shazam can’t be agender. I think Billy also came out accidentally. The way I’m picturing it is that they were in a really good mood cause Pride was coming up and then they had to fight a monster/villain thing and it kept misgendering them. So Billy just screams ‘I’M AGENDER BITCH’ and punts it into the sky and fricking disintegrates it with lightning. This obviously gets some attention from neighbouring people and there’s suddenly like 50 accounts that just have a video of Shazam screaming out their gender identity, so that’s the end of that.

I know there’s plenty more but there the only ones I’ve thought of in as much detail so far.

Onto their Pride Prep.

Nightwing does his patrols with a bunch of different flags tied around him as capes every night and has a bunch of flag buttons on his chest symbol.

Red Robin (yum) would copy Dick at first with the flags and the badges but soon enough would start to experiment with glitter and face paint until he’s covered in colours head to toe.

Jason slaps a bunch of badgers on his jacket at first, but it gets boring after a while, especially looking at Rainbow Robin all the time, so he decides to slap on some coloured stickers on his helmet. Rainbow Pride, lesbian flag, bi flag, trans flag, pan flag, a fuck off homophobes sticker, you name it he has somehow managed to fit it on his helmet for Pride.

Billy just kinda doesn’t take any homophobic shit. They wear a bracelet, maybe a few pins, but they’re more concerned about keeping Pride goers safe during the celebrations and the parades.

At the Pride they put different superhero symbols on Pride flags and wave them around during the parade.

There are so many more possibilities with so many more heroes

Feel free to add on

[encrucijada]

answering all these questions with the main four from SMALL GODS as a pretence of introducing this wip. opening the floor for @rxinbowbright​ to add whatever they want, their word is also law.

#squad: who’s friends with who? what are the squad dynamics like?

the main four characters make up a friend group: theo, bee, alex and maripaz. i don't know how else to emphasise it but they're best friends, okay? they're what i mean about found family. i’ve discussed this at length with teddy but the way their characters have cemented makes it so you can have just about any kind of dynamic within the group, they have the range of personalities for it. you have bee and theo, siblings but also the extroverts. alex and maripaz, the introverts who like to sit together in silence. bee and maripaz, the mean girl + normie girl combo. alex and theo, the “i’m gonna put fifteen marshmallows in my mouth” “you’re a hazard to society” pair. bee and alex, who are down to earth to a fault. maripaz and theo, tinged with romantic feelings.

microscope: zoom in – describe the little, insignificant details about an oc.

maripaz: straight horizontal scar on her arm, just below her shoulder. has two moles on her neck that look like a vampire bite. leftover glitter from her makeup around her eyes.

theo: scar on his cheek from when he fell out of a moving car as a kid. slightly crooked front teeth. perpetually chapped lips from biting them. as a tall person he hunches a bit.

bee: pimples always appear on the corners of her nose. even when you can’t see them her toenails are always painted. wears braces always in either purple or blue.

alex: really pale freckles on his nose. it’s barely noticeable but has a patch on his left eyebrow from an incident involving a razor and his younger brother.

fragrance: what do your ocs smell like?

i’m very bad with smells.

mixtape: 5 songs that describe your ocs or songs they themselves would like.

roman holiday by halsey

all the kids are depressed by jeremy zucker

hunger by florence + the machine

ain’t it fun by paramore

beautiful creatures by illenium

wardrobe: what’s your ocs style like?

you can find maripaz here and theo here. bee dresses in really bold colours, sadly i don’t know enough about fashion to describe a fashionable character but she is the best dressed of the group. alex wears button-downs or clearance shirts with very bad puns on them, no in between.

lightning: who’s the most impulsive character? and who is their impulse control?

see, the thing about the main four is that they're all impulsive if you put them in the right environment. the most impulsive without too many variables in any given context? definitely theo. the least? probably bee. and who's the impulse control? that'd be alex, not that he tries too hard. he usually lays down the logic of the situation on the table and then leaves before seeing the results, if there are any.

ufo: identity! what are some key identifying qualities or traits of your ocs? how to they identify in regards to gender/sexuality?

maripaz: made out of the lovecore aesthetic. sixth daughter out of eight children. cries with strong emotions. fidgety adhd. shortest of the friend group. the kid who had a book on her lap during class. pansexual.

theo: looks like he could kill you but is actually a cinnamon roll. drug addict recently out of rehab. his inability to lie believably about to get him in trouble. tallest of the friend group. lives overwhelmed about everything. demisexual.

bee: embodies the energy of a teen movie mean girl but is actually very nice. has an opinion about everything. student council president. second tallest of the friend group. bisexual.

alex: the rich private school and token white boy. very strong middle kid energy. in the audiovisual club. the only one with a car so he’s the ride everywhere. third tallest of the friend group. homosexual

love note: who likes who? crushes? relationships? are they mutual or unrequited?

the main (romantic) relationship in small gods is obviously the one between theo and maripaz, that's kind of a given. but we also have the relationship between maripaz's oldest sister valentina and alex's older sibling finch. there's the whole problem surrounding davis cohen as well, who has this complicated crush situation with maripaz that breeds only trouble because he's such a massive tool.

poison: vices/bad habits? what are they? how do they affect your oc?

maripaz: bad habit of never considering her own wants and limitations, falls easily under peer pressure

theo: a bit of an adrenaline junkie and (as already mentioned) impulsive, addiction risk which counts as a vice i guess

bee: the kid on the group project that says “i’ll do it myself” and means it but then doesn’t let anyone contribute even if they want to

alex: aloof to a fault and lacks communication skills, doing things without consulting first 

track & field: which (if any) of your ocs are athletic? what sports to they play? which of your ocs would go hard in p.e?

theo and maripaz both do sports, with him being in the baseball team and her in the volleyball team but theo is definitely the most athletic of the two. he's the kind of person who actually enjoys going for a run. bee would go hard on p.e but only to assert dominance

parachute: who does your ocs trust the most? who makes them feel safe? who would they do absolutely anything for?

these four would do anything for each other, period. that said, they go to someone different first thing depending on the situation. maripaz isn’t the best at giving advice so she’s the one to come to if you really need a hug or someone to come with you for a walk. bee is all looking at a situation logically and finding a solution, so if you want an emotional response better go to her last, once you want a solution. alex is the best for vents, he’s a freakishly good listener, reacting when he needs to and asking the right questions. theo is somewhere on the same ballpark as maripaz except he gives you the space to talk, while maripaz personally prefers not to weigh in at all. they would all trust each other to take a bullet.

zodiac: what’s their sign? does it influence their personality? do they care about astrology?

maripaz is an aquarius. bee and theo are leo. alex is a capricorn. do with this information as you wish.

spellbook: are any of your ocs supernatural? if so, what are they/what are their abilities?

there is no magic of any sort in small gods but in canon characters have superpowers. maripaz's is a very good chameleon effect that makes her invisible (though not intangible) and gives her these opalescent freckles among her normal freckles. theo can predict probability in real time, he sees paths with results. this is part of his main conflict in canon but i can’t disclose it because [spoilers].

contact: how does your ocs feel about touch/physical contact? are they affectionate? if so, how do they display affection to others?

theo, bee and maripaz are all very touchy. alex less so and he really likes his space, but his love language is gifts so he makes up for it by paying attention to his friends and then proceeding to buy them weirdly accurate presents. maripaz's love language is quality time, the kind of person to do everything in her power to clear her afternoon to hang out with a friend and to just enjoy sitting in silence. bee's is acts of service, will go out of her way to do things for you (sometimes you like it or not). theo's is words of affirmation, compliments people like he has a quota to fill every day. 

interiors: describe your ocs bedroom/home/or a place they consider “theirs”. what’s in it? do certain items have a special significance to your oc?

maripaz shares room with two of her sisters, meaning that she has very little space to keep things that are entirely hers. most of her stuff is kept in boxes under the bed or hanging from the old frame of her bed, with the wall shelves dedicated entirely to her books. theo and bee have their own rooms and are connected through a bathroom, both are quite small. i don’t have specifics but i know bee has a painted sign on her door with BEE on it and a cartoon bee (as in the insect). alex has his own room and space to spare, again no specifics. there’s an abandoned train cart on the railroad by the town that they consider “theirs”, like a little clubhouse.

hobby: what do they love? what captivates them? what are their passions?

maripaz wants to work with books and her job ends up being that of a librarian, she’s captivated by the ocean because she has never seen it in person. theo is a lyricist and makes music, he’s captivated by the quiet since he rarely experiences it. bee is a fashion designer, captivated by the people around her and the human ecosystem. alex just wants his independence and that’s why he uses his money to fund an indie record label, captivated by the sky (likes an excuse to look up) though he won’t write you poetry about it. the others might write you poetry but not alex.

chess board: who is the most logical? or the schemer/planner?

on a scale from feeling to thinking we have: theo, maripaz, bee, alex. 

[postmodernmulticoloredcloak]

And now I’ve watched episode 3 of Walker because of reasons. (You guys asked, that’s reasons.) #2

If you guys haven’t seen part 1, go see it immediately. Because of reasons. This time, reasons is Slutty Glitter Cowboy Stripper. No, it’s not a joke.

Yeah, I’m not sure what’s happening either.

I can’t believe they’re airing cowboy strippers in Supernatural’s air slot and Dean Winchester isn’t there. I think this is why they had to kill Dean, because otherwise he would have ripped through the CW’s show layout and appeared in Walker sponteneously, instantly adopting Walker’s entire family and friends as his own and single-handedly implementing the depolicement of the state of Texas, with Castiel rolling his eyes at him in the background while he murders ICE agents at the US-Mexican border.

*slides the CW a twenty euro bill* so I have an idea for season 2 of Walker

Anyway, there’s this lady Walker and Ramirez are doing a stakeout on, a woman called Torreto who is presumably part of some criminal organization since they’re doing a stakeout on her, and who’s bisexual given she was being entertained by a lady and a guy at a strip club. Which is like, fine, not problematic at all, alright.

So the stripper straddles her and is like ~wanna come with me in the back, and she’s like ~maybe another time, and he’s like ~torreto i saw cops outside you probably wanna come to the back with me, and she’s like ~mmm yeah that sounds like a good idea. We were rooting for you, slutty glitter cowboy stripper! We were all rooting for you! Or not.

Meanwhile, Walker has horrible car manners.

Also, he asks her how her parents were to her growing up, which is a question you normally ask to people you’re not close to when you want to do some small talk. For some reason she brings up a friend she had some ~crazy teen years~ with, called Garrison, which doesn’t make me think of angels in Supernatural, no, I am a normal person.

But then people start coming out of the strip club, but not Torreto. So they go in.

Torreto is not there, so Walker just stops the first person he sees and he’s literally like ~excuse me, do you know if there’s someone in the back. The visual is hilarious

“Excuse me, sir, have you seen my brother from another show, I suspect he might be here”

Give me a spinoff about this strip club.

Anyway, the guys answers, “No, why, you two interested?” to which they immediately answer “no!” at the same time, and share a look which makes me think we’re supposed to be like ~~ooh, talking in unison moment! or something...?

Meanwhile their truck gets stolen, and Walker yells that his bobblehead is in there. Cue disgruntled Jared face.

Oh man. We are at the title card. It’s less than 6 minutes. This will never end.

It was night, now it’s day, and Stella and August are walking around Austin. He’s mimicking David Attenborough, describing the teenagers around them as though he was doing a documentary about animals.

Two girls approach them, bringing up a party that’s taking place tomorrow. She says it’s not the best idea with her court date approaching. The girls are like, your dad can figure something out, he’s an elite ranger or something and also owes you for disappearing for a year. She’s like, he’s being kind of cool, I don’t want to ruin this, and the girls “call BS” because this is like “the best party of the year”.

Ruby, the girl August has been hanging out with, appears and August goes from “nah the party is not my thing” to “I’ll totally be there” in like 0.02 seconds.

I cannot overstate how much I am not interested in high schooler drama.

Meanwhile, at the Walker Seniors’ place, Walker’s parents are preparing the table for a family dinner. From their banter we can infer someone’s who ~is like family although he isn’t “blood”~ is coming for dinner and Grandpa Walker doesn’t like him at all and actually expects the guy to steal their china and bourbon. “It’s been years, could you please give him a chance?” Grandma Walker says, and he accepts, although she grabs the fancy bourbon from behind his back.

Meanwhile, at the police station, all the cops are having a briefing about Torreto, the woman at the strip club. She apparently steals weapons all over Texas and sells them over the border at triple the cost. Remember that Torreto escaped from Walker and Ramirez because she stole their truck while they were inside the strip club. Ramirez is worried she’ll already become the laughingstock of the precinct.

Uh. James plays security camera footage from outside the strip club. Walker and Ramirez’ truck was stolen by Torreto and the cowboy stripper himself.

Obviously the other cops laugh when Ramirez admits it was her truck.

James tells them to find Torreto, find the truck, and find out who the naked cowboy is.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Then Walker drives home, and as soon as he gets out of his car, you know how in the Supernatural pilot Dean gets into Sam’s apartment and wrestles him before revealing it’s him to ~test if his fighting skills are rusty and laughs when Sam realizes it’s him? Alright, now think intensely and guess how Walker’s like-a-brother best friend is introduced. Think intensely! It’s really difficult to guess!

Something something about violence and male intimacy except this is too ridiculous to, you know, write something serious about it.

“Oh, man!” the guy laughs, lying on the ground where Walker threw him. “The look on your face!”

“You son of a-”

“Oh, c’mon man, don’t talk bad of a mother I never knew.”

I’m facepalming soooo hard. This is the first thing we learn about him (well, after the fact that he definitely stole something from the Walkers’ house in the past), that he never knew his mother!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

GUYS

I AM SO SORRY

I am faceblind I didn’t realize

THE GUY IS THE STRIPPER

I REPEAT

THE “DEAN BUT IN JARED PADALECKI’S MIND” CHARACTER IS THE SLUTTY GLITTER COWBOY STRIPPER

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

I SWEAR MY HANDS ARE COLD AND CLAMMY

I AM EXPERIENCING EMOTIONS NO WORDS EXIST IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO DESCRIBE

Oh my god guys. I am so sorry.

“You did your touchdown victory dance before you stole my partner’s truck!” Walker exclaims. “I should arrest you right here and right now!”

The guy acts like he has no idea what Walker is talking about, and says he’s in town to see his best pal.

Walker keeps accusing him, but then his mother appears, super thrilled to see him, and Walker lets is go.

They’re at dinner (NotDean brought wagyu steaks, which obviously means he does crime for a living) and Walker’s mother tells him to say grace, which he does in a semi-serious, semi-mocking way. Obviously NotDean does not believe in god, but he’s grateful for the people around him.

Stella calls him uncle, in case you missed that this is supposed to be a friend whom Walker loves likeabrother.

He talks about jobs he did here and there, and Walker and his brother tease him asking if he’s been to some prisons around the country. Stella doesn’t get the joke and NotDean explains it to her, adding, “now, from what I hear, I’m not the only outlaw in this family”. Grandpa Walker leaves the room.

NotDean asks Stella if she’s going to the bonfire (the party they were talking about earlier) and tells her that her mother started the thing when they were young. She didn’t know that. This is supposed to be a Meaningful moment.

Meanwhile the stolen truck is found... at Walker’s ranch. Gasp! What a shocking turn of events.

NotDean gives Stella advice on how to act in court to get on the judge’s good graces, “which means acting”. “Please don’t get legal advice from a criminal” walker’s brother Liam says. Is the gay brother also a NotDean of sorts, to be fair? Well, CriminalNotDean tells her to dress her best and cry. ActualbrotherNotDean tells her to use the correct legal arguments. Walker just stops them, quoting something Ramirez said earlier in the episode, “nobody benefits from the easy route”. Stella is like, what does that mean, which, mood, but Grandma Walker interrupts bringing in a plate of different hot chilis. Apparently they have a tradition of a competition. Which we don’t even see. Boo.

Ramirez finds the truck... right outside the Walkers’ house. Grandpa Walker, who’d gone outside, points a rifle to her and she explains what she’s doing there. They introduce themselves and she is like, sir why is the man who stole my truck inside your house? “Wife invited him to dinner.”

She’s like, I need to arrest him. But he’s like, I bet there’s not enough evidence to arrest him, or my son would have done it. Join me for steak and burbon in the bunkhouse! As one does. So they have wagyu and bourbon together, and she asks him what’s the guy’s story.

So NotDean and Walker grew up together, NotDean had a rough life, “my wife has a soft spot for strays, she can’t give up on him”. But Grandpa Walker doesn’t feel the same. He tells her that she cannot arrest him tonight, but it’s only a matter of time before the guy gives her enough rope. He adds that Walker has a blind spot for faces from the past, and needs someone to fix that.

Meanwhile dinner’s over and NotDean calls a uber. He and Walker arrange to meet the next day and hang out like old times. Eventually, Walker tells him that if he is involved in this case, he will have to take him down. “Theoretically, if you catch me.” They do a manly hug with manly pats, and the guy leaves. “Theoretically, go to hell,” Walker says after he’s left.

The next day, NotDean brings Walker to a storage in the middle of nowhere... full of cursed objects, no wait, wrong show. What’s inside the storage is the red Mustang. Walker is shocked that he hasn’t lost it in some bet - which apparently is how he got the car from Walker in the first place. Now NotDean says that, after everything Walker’s been through, he deserves a chance to win it back.

Glowy flashback of Walker and his wife in the car, right after the scene in the beginning of the episode. They bet it during poker night, decision of Emily, because Walker is “starting to get attached to her”. Emily teases him for calling the car a she, and Walker decides to call the car Stella.

They gave their daughter the name of a car they lost at poker.

Oh. She tells him she’s pregnant.

So, apparently, they had their first daughter when they were broke, to the point they had to try and get money at poker for a bigger place and baby things. That’s... kind of irresponsible.

Meamwhile, Ramirez goes to James to tell him about the thing, but James already figured NotDean was involved, because apparently stealing things and returning them is just something he does. “Why are you so calm about this?” she asks. He says because they cannot pin anything on him. Questioning him could scare the big crime lady. So he tells her to just keep an eye on him. “Walker, Torreto or Hoyt [NotDean]” she asks. “Yes” he answers.

Blah blah. I apologize, I’m being too detailed. I’m just bored by this. Ah, a butcher’s truck was stolen right after the strip club thing, guess where NotDean got the wagyu steaks.

Walker and NotDean go to the bar with the bartender who’s their friend, and NotDean flirts with her. They start playing poker, when Ramirez arrives, and has some banter with NotDean and spills some glitter on him that she found in the truck. He buys her a drink and she arrests him for trying to bribe a police officer. Walker is shocked.

At the precinct, he says they cannot prove he’s working with big crime lady. But she brings up he stole the wagyu steaks.

She calls him out for trying to be everyone’s friend even if they do something wrong, also with Stella.

She says she can hold NotDean for 24 hours, long enough to figure out the big crime lady’s plans. Common trope in cop shows. Arrest someone without proof, you have to release them after 24 hours, but the cop finds proof and bam, forgiven for arresting someone without proof.

I know you’re bored, I’m bored too.

Actually, nope, it goes differently and kind of worse. In the interrogation room, Ramirez offers NotDean a deal: he tells her where the big crime lady’s weapon deal is happening, and walks free. He points the location on a map and he compliments her. Walker is watching from the cameras and is shook.

Meanwhile the bonfire is happening, and Stella is there with her girl friends. So is August, breakdancing to impress girls. We don’t care.

Meanwhile, a lot of cops in serious cop gear surround the location NotDean pointed at. Nobody’s there, though.

What is there, is the red Mustang with the creepy bobblehead in it and a letter from NotDean that says he gives him the car back because it was always his wife’s.

Walker figures out where the deal is actually happening - the storage where the red Mustang was before.

Meanwhile, at the bonfire, August is drunk on booze he stole from Grandpa Walker and brought to the party. He asks Stella if she’s trying to drive their father away, breaking the law and all, he asks if she wants him to leave again. Then he throws up. She calls Walker but he obviously doesn’t answer. So she calls her uncle, who’s doing shopping with his partner or something. They’re buying cake? Doing cake testing for their wedding? Maybe.

Meanwhile, NotDean calls Grandma Walker to tell her he cannot go mushroom hunting with her tomorrow but needs to leave town, and he’s sorry to let her down again. She tells him that just because his family’s bad, doesn’t mean he is too. “You saved my boy, and I’ll never forget that” she says. Oooh, that’s so intriguing!, nobody says. They share a cute moment and then he hangs up, while the weapon deal goes down around him.

Uncle Liam and his partner pick up the kids, and Stella asks him if he’ll be in court with her tomorrow. He says he can’t, because it’s her father’s decision to make.

August turns up music and they all sing in the car. It’s funny how everyone’s got better chemistry with everyone else except with Walker. I know it’s, like, on purpose for plot reasons, but still, Walker’s interactions with everyone feel so stilted compared to anyone else. And it’s not the other characters are that compelling.

The police arrives at the location of the weapon deal, and NotDean gets arrested trying to steal the truck again. Ramirez gives a speech how that’s hard but it’s the right thing to do. Walker makes a comment about tough love, implying Stella needs to get that too.

The next day, they leave for Stella’s court thing on the red Mustang. It took Walker three episodes, but now they also have a cool classic car to show off! Yay! *eyeroll*

Meanwhile, Grandma Walker and Grandpa Walker have a conversation about their failing marriage or something.

Ramirez goes to the bar to apologize to the bartender for arresting NotDean. They have a drink together and if lesbians were watching this they’d start shipping them, but no lesbians are watching this. They’re wiser than me.

Stella got like a gazillion hours of community service and her license suspended. She’s upset, but since she has her license for one more day he teaches her how to drive the Mustang.

Wait. Americans don’t learn to drive normal cars when they get their license?? They only learn to drive cars with automatic gear?? What the hell??

They drive while August runs after the car to get over his hangover or something.

Would be a cute moment if the entire thing wasn’t so cheesy and weird.

Well. We know NotDean is a recurring role so we’ll see more of him. (Well, I’m not sure I will be there to watch, because this is boring af.)

This episode used all its interest coins in the strip club scene and then became dreadfully boring. I don’t even have some witty line to close this post.

This was a rollercoaster that went my brain go through a blender in the first six minutes or so and then killed the remaining braincells through boredom.

That’s it guys. What can I say. This is the CW’s Walker. Yee.

[darthkvznblogs]

Saw the new chapter, nice! BTW, how would the various characters celebrate Pride Month?

Apologies, I've been busy with last chapter's reviews!

Wowza, that's a huge ask - I've made a conscious effort to normalize LGBTQIA+ identities in my stories, so there's a lot of ground to cover here! There's also a minor issue in that most of the current stories are set in 2012, which is quite a different landscape in regards to the acceptance of the LGBTQIA+ community compared to nowadays.

With that in mind, I'll try to go for the "ideal" celebration (and I'll throw in the characters' gender identities and sexual preferences, since I've already got those in my ongoing character database). Obviously, this only applies to the characters as portrayed in the Kryptonverse!

(This is a long one, so I'll add a "read more" thingy for the sake of those who aren't interested.)

- I think Luz would take Pride Month as an opportunity to more overtly explore her gender noncomformity; much like was showcased in the Grom episode, she might try on different outfit combinations, different pronouns - whatever makes her feel closer to her ideal self. I think her stint in the Boiling Isles would only make it that much clearer how truly silly it is for other people to try and dictate what she should look or behave like. Luz currently identifies as a bisexual, cisgender woman, but she has found comfort in identifying as nonbinary in the past, and there's really no telling how she might feel in the future.

- Kryptonian society had a great many issues, but a resistance towards gender variance and non-heterosexual preferences wasn't one of them - as long as you followed the strict life path set up for you by the Empire, of course. Kara is still confused about the human attitudes towards this subject, and angry that they affected Alex and Lena negatively in their youth. I think she'd celebrate Pride Month by pushing the Avengers to champion causes that protect the LGBTQIA+ community - not that they need much convincing. Think parades, lobbying for legislation, impassioned speeches, and million-dollar donations to worthy charities - whatever it takes to make sure people know where their heroes stand on this issue. Kara is a pansexual cisgender woman, Alex and Lena are lesbian cisgender women, Tony is a pansexual cisgender man, Steve is a (closeted) bisexual cisgender man, Natasha is an aromantic, bisexual, cisgender woman, Clint is a biromantic, heterosexual, cisgender man, and Rhodey and Bruce are both heterosexual, cisgender men (the Hulk himself is pansexual though).

- Not that Ben was against it before, of course, but I think gaining the ability to swap bodies (and genders, depending on the transformation) at will would give him a much greater appreciation for people who suffer from dysmorphia or otherwise don't gel with the body they were born with. I think he'd champion trans causes specifically during Pride Month - much to the anger of his parents, both conservative politicians. Ben is a bisexual, cisgender man, Julie is a bisexual, cisgender woman, Kevin is a heterosexual, cisgender man, and Gwen is a (currently questioning) bisexual, cisgender woman.

- It's kind of a spoiler to talk at length about Chloé's relationship with her own preferences. Suffice it to say, she would be very much opposed to Pride celebrations initially, but may or may not radically change her attitude as her journey goes on. Chloé is a lesbian, cisgender woman. Adrien is a bisexual, cisgender man (with GNC tendencies as he grows up), and Marinette is a bisexual, cisgender woman.

- Nico obviously didn't grow up in an environment conducive to the acceptance of his being gay. I think there's still a lot of internal self-loathing there, even as his boyfriend and his friends have greatly helped to coax him away from it, and that might manifest as his reluctance to participate in Pride celebrations. I think once he's convinced to attend a Pride parade once, though, it would make a world of difference going forward! Nico is a gay, cisgender man.

- Ellie has never given much thought to her own identity or preferences. She's felt attracted to all kinds of people, but never enough to want to act on it. It's possible that she's aro/ace, or somewhere on that spectrum, but even that feels like an ill-fitting piece of clothing. She is fiercely protective of Danny, though; poking fun or attacking him for being trans is a surefire way to make her go all out against you. She'll happily celebrate Pride with Danny and friends, too. Ellie doesn't currently subscribe to any romantic or sexual preference, but does identify as a cisgender woman. Valerie is a bisexual, cisgender woman. Danny is a heterosexual, transgender man.

- Pidge used to comfortably identify as a straight, cis woman, but her stint as Pidge Gunderson and the subsequent massive expansion of her knowledge of gender identities and sexual preferences due to her travels as a Paladin of Voltron have let her more solidly (ironically) identify as genderfluid and pansexual. She'd have a blast teaching Allura and Coran all about Earth Pride celebrations, and I'm sure she's eager to teach the people of Earth just how little they know about what's out there. Pidge is a genderfluid, pansexual individual (identified as female during Close Encounters, but don't let that fool you!).

- Saiyans have a weird relationship with gender and sexual preference. The average Saiyan is mostly free to do and be whatever the f*ck they want in this regard, but there is definitely a culture of male superiority, and a stigma towards trans Saiyan men, specifically - it's seen by traditionalists as "women trying to rise above their station", much in the same way as marrying between Saiyan classes is scorned. Caulifla and Kale don't have that kind of baggage, though, growing up on Xandar - their dithering about being with each other is just your classic awkward teenage romance, nothing to do with their both being women. Caulifla and Kale both identify as lesbian, cisgender women.

- Dipper may be a straight man, but he's the best damned ally you could hope for - fiercely protective of his pansexual twin and bisexual girlfriend. He's got every opposing argument memorized, and a counterargument ready to go - you do not want to debate him, and he will track your ass down if he catches you trolling/hating online. Mabel becomes even more of a living vortex of glitter and gloss during Pride - sweeping away the more muted Tulip, who'll happily settle for a little bisexual flag pin or sticker on her computer. Hard not to find Mabel's enthusiasm infectious, though! Dipper is a heterosexual, cisgender man, Mabel is a pansexual, cisgender woman, and Tulip is a bisexual, cisgender woman.

That was a lot! I hope it was an enjoyable read, though! @the-literary-lord

C2E29 - The Stalking Nightmare - rewatch/liveblog

I forgot to mention it before, but it still applies.  This little arc really does show off how well Caleb is capable of being a leader.  He avoids it, he does not want it, but he’s GOOD at is.  While the Nein are very good about being a group without a real leader, there definitely are the arcs where one or two PCs really pick up the charge.  Starts out with Fjord, then Caleb, then Fjord again, then Caleb/Beau during Xhorhas, then Jester for Travelercon.  I really do like it, it’s a very realistic way that a group would function.  No one standing up and saying ‘you follow me and do what I say’, but people recognizing when one is more capable in a certain situation than others and defaulting to them, or at least letting their opinions have a bit of a greater weight.

Watching the fireside chat a bit early because I misjudged the timing (should have watched after the liveshow), first time I’m seeing this!  I’m LOVING seeing the creation of Orly (WHO IS AMAZING AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH) and hearing Matt kinda play with a voice and it not being Orly’s voice at all, but seeing how it’ll get there.  UGH, I love him sooo much, and I’m so excited because Matt has no idea that he will become such a big NPC.  Especially considering the fan created NPC and monster for C1 were pretty shortly there and very forgettable (at least for me), to have this one become essentially a second-rank core NPC is so incredibly heartwarming.  (first rank NPCs are like the Gentleman, Essek, Pumat Sol, second rank are like Yussa, Orly, Allura, third rank are like Bryce, Darrow, Marius, and lower rank NPCs I don’t consider ‘core’)

Awww, I really like the fireside chats.  I always want them to be like an hour longer at least!  That might just be my love of behind-the-scenes stuff though. The c2 wrap up was four hours long and I felt like it wasn’t nearly enough.  I kept hoping they’d do a second one, like how there was the official c1 wrap up, but then there was a c1 fireside chat wrap up because there were still so many questions left over.

ALRIGHT.  LET’S DO THIS LIVESHOOOOWWWWW!!!!!  I can’t remember if they wear costumes or not!  I’m so excited!!!!

(I miss the liveshows so much, even though yes, at times they were hard to hear and at times the playing to the audience was a little over the top, but a handful of liveshows a campaign just add so much to it I feel, I really hope we can get these back with c3.  Go away pandemic, stop ruining things)

Wait, does this mean I’ll be ringing in the new year by watching the live show?  ...I’m cool with that.  I’m in a CR mood today, definitely want to keep watching.  Gonna go make me a boozy drink :)

WAIT BRIAN HAS A GLITTER BEARD I NEVER NOTICED THIS

Ah, no full on costumes, but Liam, Marisha, and Taliesin hitting me with ALL the bisexual glory.  UNF.  I am respectfully thirsty.  (Ashly and Matt looking great too, but not as dressy.  Sam is…...well.  Look, there are times where I can admire Sam’s attractiveness.  But 99% of the liveshows I cannot because the OUTFITS.  So I am admiring his absurdity instead.)

(also apparently I’m having Matt hair envy this episode.  SO FLUFFY!!!!!   I know, I know, why is this episode different than any other episodes.  But it just looks REALLY GOOD to me right now!)

MATT’S REVENGE WITH THE SAM SHIRT YEEESSSSSSS

I love Caleb using the Invisibility scroll, and I LOVE Keg not having object permanence.

The audience shouting “don’t fuck me Gil”, and Marisha guiltily having to inform them that it wasn’t a Gil die.  MY HEART MAY NOT SURVIVE THIS EPISODE.  I feel like these liveshows mean so much more to me now, just because of all the context I’ve now gone through of all of C2, C1, and C3.

It makes sense that it wasn’t really RPed, but I am kinda sad that it was never really gone into about what Yasha, Jester, and Fjord had suffered during their time.  Maybe they got lucky and because it was only a day/day and a half that they were there that they were just put into cages and not dealt with, but maybe they were.  And I don’t think it’s ever touched upon.  But like I said, the show – despite getting into dark shit – never actually goes THAT dark.  Injuries to the PCs are all resolved in a long rest without real repercussion, emotional trauma from the in game activities is glossed over (backstory emotional trauma is different), and it makes sense in the fact that it’s just a GAME that they play for fun.  But I admit, this is where the appeal of fanfic comes in, to touch on the heavier and darker aspects that they don’t play out.

THE AUDIENCE FREAKING OUT AT THE SHAKASTE REVEAL, AND THEN EVEN MORE WHEN KHARY COMES ON STAGE

I do with the Nefertiti statue’s face was more visible.  (also why the fuck did I struggle with how statue is spelled?  I’ve had less than a shot of alcohol, I shouldn’t be that affected yet!)

I…...forgot this episode is almost entirely combat.  I’m still focused, but not much to say.  It’s combat.  Not feeling the need to speed it up, so that’s good.

Insect Swarm!!!! Used a good handful of times, but much more a flavor aspect of Cad rather than a primary combat.

LOL new years hit riiight after break.  Paused to text friends/family and get a call from the parents, and now waiting for some of the cheering outside to die down.  I think I’ll take a quick shower then get into the second half.

(also I want a shiny party hat wurmple, but this’s not about that right now.  I didn’t get a shiny spheal with scarf, which genuinely makes me sadface because spheal with the scarf is so fucking cute.  There aren’t many costumed pokes that I love, but there are a few and these are two of them)

Mmmm, I think I’m starting to lose focus now.  And as I haven’t been saying much because it’s just combat, I think I’ll head off for the night, finish this tomorrow.  Lorenzo has been revealed, and Cad has just shown why you don’t make him do wisdom saving throws (casual 27, anyone?), so that’s a good place to pause.

Poor Shakaste, I forgot that he struggled so much during this fight!

Wondered why Caleb didn’t use Shield, but maybe he’s out of first level spells?  I know he kills Lorenzo with a cantrip, so he was pretty dry at that point….  According to the critrolestats, Caleb went into this episode with two first level spells only, however, after the Scorching Ray he only uses cantrips, so maybe he thought he only had one first level spell left?  Or maybe he was saving it for Shield in case he thought he may be at further risk?  (I’m leaning towards the former)

Sharp toothed fairies for Spirit Guardians???  Okay…..I feel like he moves towards the insects and beetles for the Guardians soon.  It’s interesting, this doesn’t seem to fit Caduceus at ALL, but I wonder how his character would have adjusted had this been the theme for his Guardians going forwards.

Ah, there’s the remembering that Firbolgs don’t have Darkvision.

Spare the Dying and max healing for an unconscious person.  Taliesin discussed in the last Talks how he decided to make a cleric to help the party from getting gunshy because of the death, to be able to give them a bit of comfort making more risky decisions, and this here is exactly the display they need.

I get really happy with the audience chanting Beau Beau Beau after Marisha stuns Lorenzo.  I know from her interviews that she seems to be able to let the internet hatred roll off of her back, but GOD the hate that she got for Keyleth. And then even some for Beau!  I’ve seen a good chunk of people feel about Beau how I feel about Molly.

Oh hey, they fuck up the Stun here.  Stun is supposed to last until the end of Beau’s next turn, not the stunned person’s turn.  OH WELL STILL WORKS OUT. (also lol at me actually knowing shit.  During first watch I was slowly gaining the ability to understand rules and shit while watching, but 100% would not be able to say when they were ‘wrong’ or not XD)

Mass Healing Word – you can heal everyone but Caleb.  XDDDDDDDDDD

This may be my bias, but I HAVE to give props to Liam for this episode.  This is a very very combat heavy episode, and while there is some RP, there’s not much.  That tends to lose me, as I’m much more interested in the RP than combat.  But Liam is RPing his ass off this entire episode, just by his little monologues and nervousness and EVERYTHING that he is putting into basically every turn.  And yes, the other players are certainly doing some, and I appreciate it every time it happens.  But Liam is just FEEDING ME and I can’t help but to love him so much for it.

Keg’s ‘what the FUCK?!’ after Liam describes the HDYWTDT is PERFECTION.  The perfect little tension release after the very descriptive and violent end.

“You shouldn’t have killed my cat” oh I have THOUGHTS about that line.  Honestly, the first time watching that was even more confirmation for me that Caleb couldn’t have actually cared about Molly dying because duh. Yeah….I admit that was my bitter biasness there.  Rewatch though? It’s very powerful about the connection that Caleb has with Frumpkin and what Frumpkin means to him, connecting to his childhood and trying for redemption, it’s also this level of disconnect about avenging Molly because the emotion is there but he just can’t focus on it in the moment (alright that’s speculation but it seems to fit), and then lastly, if you watch Liam, Caleb is starting to risk dissociating HARD with the rapid blinking and somewhat vacant gaze (wisdom saving throw coming up), so it makes sense that his immediate thought would be about something that just happened a few minutes ago, rather than the bigger thing that could be too hard to think about in the moment.   (I’ll also admit I still have a very biased headcanon for the moment, but I won’t share that because no-one needs to hear it)

“Case closed” SERIOUSLY heartbreaking and heartwarming at the exact same time

Also rescued prisoners coming down right after the battle ended, y’all are dumb fucks and could haven ended up dead, wtf.  Stay upstairs where they told you to.

Also also, this is now the start of an AU, as the end of this episode and beginning of next episode get into wonky changing what happened stuff, but that’s okay. XD

Pride- Lukadrien June Day 6

I’d seen a few good pride month prompts and decided to do one where a person going to their first pride is thrown into an over the top outfit by their friends. I guess I also liking seeing what some people come up with for their outfits. Also, there is nothing wrong with being an ally, I just think someone like Adrien would want to show off his identity since it’s something he decides makes him and not something his dad made him. ANyway, enjoy this short fic I managed to put together. Pride

The Liberty was crowded as usual with students from Mlle Bustier’s class, including their usual tagalongs. But it wasn’t just a normal hang out or even band practise. This was more important. It was the day of the Pride Parade and Jagged Stone, in his attempt to bond with his kids, invited all of them to join him on his parade float. Luka was still awkward around him but agreed anyway since he’d have all his friends there to run interference.

Marinette had gone all out in making pride outfits for everyone to wear and flags to be hung on the float as well.

“Do you think Adrien will come?” Marinette asked, looking over the outfit she’d made for him. She’d gone to Luka for help on what he thought his boyfriend would like, but the perfectionist in her wanted it to be perfect.

“He said he wants to but you know how his dad is. He still hasn’t told him he is bisexual.” Luka said, mostly focused on not messing up his makeup. Why were cat eyes so impossible?

“What if his dad said yes because it would be wrong for the biggest fashion company in France to not support the LGBTQIA+ community.” A completely different voice said.

Adrien stepped onto the deck, his friends all excited he’d arrived. His usual shirt was replaced with one that said ALLY in the pride flag colours, similar to ones that Mylene and Ivan where wearing, but compared to their outfits and everyone else’s, the model was underdressed.

“ALLY?” Nino asked.

Adrien shrugged. “I tried telling him, but he basically ordered Nathalie to give this to me and then shooed me out. I don’t have anything bisexual related. I mean, it’s not wrong though.”

“No, but thankfully, you’ve got Marinette.” Alya said. “We can match!” she proudly displayed her magenta and purple shirt and blue jeans with a bi flag sewn in.

“Excuse me, borrowing my boyfriend before Marinette drags him off.” Luka said, catching Adrien off guard and pulling him closer, ignoring the kissy sounds Nino and Alya made.

“Hi.”

“Hello gorgeous. I’m really happy you could come.” Luka said, lacing his fingers through Adrien’s. he did notice that Adrien had the bi colours on his nails. They were slightly smudged. “When did you do this?”

“This morning, I was hoping my dad would notice. Nathalie did though. She told me she’d find a chance for me to tell him and smiled at me so at least that’s one person down. nice outfit by the way.”

Luka was in plaid striped cropped tank top, the colours of the pan flag making it up and bright pink skinny jeans. “Yeah, well yellow isn’t my colour so I had to slip it in a few ways.”

“Including your eyeshadow and shoelaces.”

“And the glitter Rose is gonna put on me later, but worth it. So, do you wanna see what Marinette and I came up with for your outfit?”

Adrien smiled, though he looked nervous. “Should I be scared?”

“I think you’ll like it.”

The guitarist pulled his boyfriend toward Marinette in the same colours as Luka. she unzipped the garment bag in hand, watching Adrien’s eyes widen.

“Isn’t that Harley Quinn’s outfit from the Birds of Prey movie?”

“An iteration of it. You love that movie and you always said she’s your favourite villain.” Marinette explained.

“Plus, you have said you’d dreamed of coming out in the most extra way possible.” Luka reminded, watching Adrien pull the tassel covered jacket, the magenta, blue and purple standing out different without the yellow the inspired jacket had.

“Well, this definitely fits.”

“If you’d rather wait until after you talked to you dad, I have a simple flannel that just says ‘bi’ on the back.” Marinette offered.

“It’s up to you.” Luka said.

Adrien was glad he was being given an option. He did want to wait to tell his dad and an outfit like this would definitely get his dad’s attention. But then he looked at the shirt he was wearing. There was nothing wrong with it, but it just felt a little hurtful that his dad never asked what he identified as. It made him think of the things he told the public just to keep his father from banning him. He knew there were things his father did that weren’t right and he didn’t want to be under his thumb forever. If people saw, it wouldn’t do his father any good to try and hide it from the public. Even if he had to add it to many things that was Adrien Agreste©, it would be his.

“Can you do my make up?” he asked Luka.

“Oh, I thought you’d never ask.”

When Gabriel saw the photo of Adrien and Luka standing in front of the pan and bi flags that hung from the float in their full regalia with the caption, ‘My first Pride with my boyfriend @lukaheart’, there wasn’t much he could do and Adrien revelled in it.
