#he loves when he gets to have a pony popsicle

[allylikethecat]

atkh soon come??

Ahhh thank you for sending me this ask I was low key kind of thinking maybe no one would notice if the update was suuupppper late (and by that I mean hopefully tomorrow).

The original plan had been to finish up the chapter yesterday. BUT THEN I managed to give myself a mild case of heatstroke / sun poisoning at the barn yesterday (yay summer) and basically spent most of the day laying on my cold tile floor with my work laptop wishing I was anywhere else. I went to bed at 6:30pm that's how bad it was. And then so today I was playing catch up on all the work stuff I didn't really do yesterday because I was laying on the cold floor wishing I had remembered to drink Gatorade. Which means I have not even looked at the chapter since earlier in the week and it is in fact not finished 😞 BUT I'm actually finally starting to actually feel better (yay!) and the plan is to finish it tomorrow - hopefully before the Oilers / Panthers game. I'm so sorry for the delay, and thank you so much for checking in about the update. I'm so grateful that you're enjoying ATKH and hope you continue to do so. I hope your Friday is going better than mine and that you have a wonderful weekend!!

Okay,how Nicole demara with an S/O that loves taking care of her and helping her out with her business.

i’ll make this a hc!

— getting spoiled by you is an experience she grew to absolutely adore (she won’t admit that).

she’s looking at her nails, grumbling about how it’s time to get it done. the polish is peeling from her nails and it’s starting to annoy her. you gently grab her hand, bringing it up to your lips to kiss the pad of her fingers. nicole’s already red, pink lips parted with surprise as she verbally questions what you’re doing.

“ do you want me to pay for them, nicole? we can get them done today. “ you offer, kissing her pointed finger one more time before letting them go. secretly over the moon by your gesture, she shyly averts her lowered gaze to somewhere else that isn’t you.

“ y-yes, i would like to, (name). “ she trails off, stifling back a dopey smile on her face. she’s def gonna brag and show off later.

— when it comes to doing little side gigs like selling drinks, food, or whatever, you’re the one who’s prepping the items. nicole’s the one setting the prices. nekomata, and the other two are either doing their own thing or helping out in some way. for some reason, you sell the most between you and nicole and it annoys her. it annoys her because you’re very easy on the eyes, so people are naturally drawn to you and find the need to flirt with you while you’re trying to do business. you’re hers, damnit. does she have to stand by you so those pesky people can stop the funny business, buy her stuff, and go?

“ meow, it seems like they’re at it again.” nekomata comments, looking at the growing line of people waiting to buy a popsicle from you. nicole merely grumbles, quietly watching everything from afar as you politely hand the two women cold treats.

“ oh before we go, you have such a beautiful smile. are you single? “

“ no, i’m not. sorry. “

“ aw, well i hope to see you around, cutie! “

nicole’s brows twitch.

you wave goodbye at the two women before welcoming a group of men. one of the men shoves a guy from the back to the front, appearing awkward and fidgety. “ erm, can we all get a popsicle? is there a deal going on? “

“ mhm, since there’s like 5 of you. 5 for 10$. “

“ damn. 5 for 10$? “

“ u-um, i’ll take it, “ he stutters, digging in his beach short’s pocket for his wallet. he hands you a ten dollar bill and you give him the pack of popsicles.

“ al-also, i’ve been watching you—not like a stalker or anything! but like—“

“ meow? you totally sound like a stalker.” nekomata remarks, hearing the conversation closely. “ what? nekomata! what are they saying other there? i can hardly hear anything because of these damn seagulls!” nicole snarls, adjusting the visor on her head to block off the sun from her eyes.

“ the guy is hitting on (name), but, he’s. . not scoring. “

“ good! (name)’s is my partner, anyways! they better go search somewhere far away to find someone perfect like them, hmph! “

— i can imagine you and nicole being the best duo when it comes to collecting money from scamming clients.

the four, beaten up men kneels in fear as you tower over them with a smug smirk on your face.

“ so boys, “ nicole comes up behind you and rest a hand on your shoulder with her other hand on her hips, “ we now have an understanding, right? “

“ y-yes—yes! we do! please, no more! “ one of the men begged, clasping his hands together desperately.

“ good~ make sure you pony up the cash by tomorrow or we’ll make sure you won’t be able to piss straight for a month. “ nicole threatens, smirking menacingly at the men. they all let out noises of fear and nervously bobbed their heads.

with an arm wrapped loosely around her waist, you add on, “ you better listen to my girl, or i’ll make it two months for your goofy asses. “

gimmw your gfalls hcs NOEWWW

oh god! I have soooo many but i'll put some basic ones down for the pines family rn and probably add on to this later ^_^

Dipper

◇ First of all this boy is absolutely autistic. My little autistic ass acted so much like him as a kid, I mean, what autistic 12 year old wouldn't base their entire summer around a weird book full of monsters they found?

◇ I think he's a trans dude and aro/ace, and that his crush on Wendy was more comphet than anything. I'm not really a fan of any ship involving him but I think platonic dipcifica could be cute.

◇ Cryptozoology/The Paranormal is absolutely his main special interest, but he also has an sp/in in computers/comp sci (but he's honestly not great at computer stuff).

Mabel

◇ AuDHD Queen! I think her main special interest is absolutely arts / crafts, I mean look at all the silly things she makes throughout the series as well as her dedication to handmaking dozens of puppets/props/etc as well as writing and entire play to impress her crush of the week in Sock Opera. ◇ I think sexuality wise she's not straight but prefers to be unlabelled. I also like to think she's the type to collect xenogenders / neopronouns like pokemon cards. ( she totally uses a bunch of cat-based pronouns) ◇ Shortly after the series I think she'd get a little less Boys-Crazy and focus more exploring who she is as a person / her self expression. Absolutely is gonna have a mall goth/emo/scene phase (she's smushing all three of those together into one thing for herself).

(I also think Mabel and Dipper were born identical twins)

Grunkle Stan

◇ Also AuDHD, not quite sure what his big main special interest would be but he's absolutely hyperfixated on Ducktective. Also going off the story in Lost Legends I think he'd absolutely be getting into making comics / drawing in general (even if hes not great at it). Post series I think he'd spend a lot of his free time out at sea drawing in the boat's cabin. Mostly making comics of silly re-tellings of he and Ford's adventures out at Sea (he absolutely shows Dipper and Mabel these if he and Ford video calls them when they're on land) ◇ I'm a transfem Stanley truther. He doesn't really realize/come to terms with it until post-series. I think she'd just grow out her hair and throw it in a pony-tail + use she/he pronouns to transition. She'd still use the name Stanley and be fine with both masc/fem terms (ie fine be called a man or a woman). Also he's bisexual (but has known this since he was like a teen, even if he didn't have the words to label it.) ◇ I think his Popsicle addiction from the unaired pilot is real and canon. Old autistic men love popsicles just look at my dad and grandfather.

Ford

◇ oh boy its projection time (i am a stanford pines fictive) 😈😈😈

◇ Transmasc, somewhere under the nonbinary umbrella but very guy adjacent. Mainly uses he/him pronouns but I think he'd use "it" and "they" aswell. Gay and Arospec as well. ◇ Autism + NPD + Schizophrenia wombo combo. He's sooooo NPD coded its INSANE, I am going to write an essay about it in the future. Goes without saying that his special interests are the paranormal and various sciences, but I think he has a hardcore love for the arts as well. ◇ Going off both the autism and arospec HC- I think he's the type to convince himself he has a crush very easily, when in reality he just has a strong admiration / platonic love for those in question, and had strong platonic feelings for McGucket back in college that he confused for romantic ones (projecting 100000000%) (i think the Stan twins were fraternal twins)

Young!Les Packer Series: Starburst - Les Packer x Reader

Tagging: @proceduralpassion @crazy4chickennuggets @callsignartemis @kmc1989 @kishie8 @anime-weeb-4-life @oureternalbond  @thanossexual

It’s a starburst, the brand on your shoulder. Les knows it almost as well as he knows himself. He’s spent nights caressing it with his fingertips and his lips. It reminds him of how strong you are, how resilient.

In the wake of the cult’s annihilation the two of you have built a home together, a life. You’ve gone back to school with the intention of completing your GED, something he has no doubt that you’ll accomplish. You work parttime at a bookstore and it seems to suit you. You’ve re-discovered your thirst for literature now that you have the freedom to explore it. In the cult there was only one book, and it was the one the Founder had written himself.

It's been two years since Fallen Star crumbled and Les has not only gained a partner but a daughter as well. He thinks of little Sasha sleeping in the room next door, walls decorated with ponies, a nightlight that shines sparkles on the ceiling because she’s afraid of the dark. The daughter he didn’t even know he wanted until she’d appeared in his life.

Now he can’t imagine a world without her in it. Without breakfast with smiley faced pancakes or school drop offs and pick ups. She’s as ferocious as her mother, bright and adventurous. He thought her time in the cult would have cowed her, but she leaps into everything with a curiosity that amazes him. The world is a bright, dazzling place for her and she’s eager to learn more about it.They go to the library sometimes after school, her favourite book is Funny Bones and Les has spent many bedtimes reading it to her, while you study at the kitchen table.

Les thinks of the two women that approached him today looking for you. He’d been with Sasha at the General Store, sitting outside on the bench where the two of you had first met. They’d been eating popsicles, Sasha’s orange because it was her new favourite colour and his cherry. He hadn’t even registered their approach until he saw Sasha react, he’d never seen her withdraw so fast. Her silence spoke volumes.

He recognises the style of clothing; you all wore similar outfits usually in white or pastels. The first time he’d met you, you’d been wearing a lavender summer dress. He remembers you’d worn your hair tied back, the edges of the brand peeping out from underneath the fabric.

“She doesn’t belong to you anymore.” He reminds them, trying very hard to keep his tone even as not to alarm Sasha.

“Sasha does. She’s his only living relative.”

He’d snarled at them then because the only way they were getting Sasha was over his dead body.

“She’ll come back.” The older of the two had assured him. “She knows where she belongs.”

They’d left after that, but the damage was already done because Sasha may not have remembered their names, but she remembers being ripped away from her mother time and time again by these women. She’s inconsolable until you get home from work because she thinks that it’s happening all over again. He wants to kill them for that. For distressing his child.

When you finally manage to get Sasha settled, you come to bed wearing nothing but one of his t-shirts. You straddle his hips and make love to him with your hand over his mouth to stifle the noise, because when he’s with you like this, he’s loud. There’s an element of control to it, he understands the need to be dominant especially when it feels like the world is starting to crumble underneath your feet.

“I won’t let anything to happen to you.” He promises in the aftermath as he holds you close. “You and Sasha are my family, I’ll protect the two of you until the day I die.”

As for Topper, he doesn't like Violet very much, he thinks she's quite stupid and a bit childish at times because she's very energetic and fun with jokes from the silliest to the most pointless jokes... He finds her quite irritating and he just tries to act less rude towards her out of politeness and so as not to hurt her because she is a friend of her brothers...

Dogblr questionnaire: 26, 27, 28!

Dogblr ask meme! Thanks for sending this, by the way--we had a mildly unpleasant and very frustrating incident last night largely stemming from my cat being a ridiculous adrenaline freak and the dogs having big emotions about him taunting them, and it's nice to think about things I like about the menaces. I've cut my answers because, well, it's me: I got long.

26) What’s your dogs favorite game to play inside?

Matilda loooooooves the flirt pole. Mine is a lunge whip from the local feed store with a quarter of a rabbit hide tied to the end of it: it's lighter and much faster than things like the Squishyface flirt pole I've tried in the past, which means I have a shot in hell at keeping it ahead of the dog. I don't use flirt poles as tug objects, so I like mine quick.

Benton has invented a game we refer to as "object permanence," in which he takes his balls and hides them under or inside various objects, stares for a minute, and then recovers them (sometimes by destroying the object holding them, as when he sticks things in paper bags) and gleefully parades around the house squeaking the ball. Unfortunately he does sometimes hide his balls in places he can't get them out again, like under the sofa, so this game gets real obnoxious real fast.

Tribble has (almost) never had any use at all for toys, except occasionally to pick up a stuffy and wave it around. She does like interacting and moving with me, though, so we often dance together--that is, I'll be silly dancing, and she'll perk up and move into my space, and we'll just dance to the music together moving in and out. At some point this spring I hope to take a formal musical freestyle class with her, but in the interim, we can just be silly together.

27) What’s your dogs favorite game to play outside?

It's currently -7F (feels like -20F) / -22C (feels like -29C) out, so, uh. Matilda has not gotten a lot of outdoor playtime since coming home, because I enjoy not being a popsicle and I'm a wuss. Right now, she seems to enjoy scaling snowbanks and wallowing in the snow. (She is an Australian breed and she was born in SoCal, but no one seems to have told her that she wasn't an arctic explorer.) I am devoutly anticipating spring; this is why no one breeds for winter babies up north!

Benton is a ball fiend and just about loses his mind if you whip out the chuckit. He will retrieve until he falls over unconscious if allowed.

Tribble's one use for toys is that she likes to retrieve specifically from the water. (She swims like a very motivated fish and in her youth often outswam retrievers. She's an awful ball thief if water is involved.) She doesn't care about the things she retrieves once they're in the shallows or out of the water, but she'll swim out to retrieve leaves and occasionally weird things like candles if I don't throw her anything fast enough. I really need to find her a place to go swimming this summer...

28) Something your dog did recently that made you smile?

I love Matilda's little horrible "YEAH I'M GONNA DO CRIMES" face. (She gets like this over toys she CAN have, too.) My office has a big old window that takes up one whole wall on the opposite side from my desk, and there are two grad student desks there that butt up to just the base of that window. Yesterday, Matilda decided she was going to get a better view from those windows and started trying to climb onto them, apparently so she could make herself a little nest on the desk right up where it was cool. I don't even know, y'all.

Benton makes me laugh all the time: he is ridiculous. Whenever he gets excited, he prances like a hackney pony with his knees up in the air around his face, wiggling like the proudest boy in the universe. I thought he might grow out of it but he's two now and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Tribble got excited enough last night to grab a stuffy and insist on playing fetch with it while Matilda chased her and occasionally yelled. She's on pain meds for arthritis this week, experimentally, and I am really enjoying watching her enjoy spending time with the infant more frequently. One of the reasons I even have Matilda now is that I wanted to have a chance for Tribble, who loves puppies when they aren't making her ouchy, to help raise and socialize my next puppy while that was still even plausible for her to do with her quality of life. I'm really enjoying her enjoying the baby more often now that she's feeling looser and better.

11. Last Of Them All

This game once again features a well-drawn title screen, showing a house at night with warmly glowing windows, a treehouse in the front yard and a tricycle underneath it. The only instructions are "Press Start".

When Bea does so, a JRPG begins! The graphics are reminiscent of the original Dragon Quest, and the opening cinematic shows a family waking up. First there's a boy with red hair, who jumps out of bed and runs down the stairs. He's followed by a much smaller girl with pony tails, then two more boys. The last one to emerge from the bedroom is the character Bea controls.

"Hello! Hey! Hi! Hi! He- oh its me, good morninnng! Is this gonna be like.. Chrono Bound? Earth Trigger"

"First things first, I have to eat video game breakfast"

Glockroach: Bea speaking as someone with four siblings your life is gonna be hell now HNV: oh shit Bea you need to play Earthbound Beginnings after this

When you trot downstairs, the kids are all playing, tossing dolls around and making a mess of things. The red-haired boy-- apparently the eldest-- says, "Go get Mom and Dad for breakfast, I'll go get the paper."

Going back upstairs, the doorway to Mom and Dad's room is now open. Mom's sprite looks familiar, she has the same red hair as your big brother.

"Hi mo- MOM YOUR HEAD'S ON FIRE!"

Llord_Kuruku: Was mom up all night keeping bedbugs out of my bed? Love you mom! Baconnaise: That's all they do when we're asleep and now we know what ungrateful wretches we were

Once you wake up Mom, she goes down the stairs. Father stays in bed and mumbles "Go ask your mother", when you address him

He does, however, tell you your name-- apparently you're Zoku. "Shouldn't I be a big green soldier robot- oh Zoku, never mind!"

aroseahorseboy: yeah, you're a desktop popsicle maker, congrats.

"Okay I get all your breakfast then!" Bea holds down the "B" button and finds she can dash, neat! "GAH, NYOOM.. forgot I had my Nikes on, right?"

"And you can move in every direction, i don't feel like i'm on a grid like most of these"

As soon as Zoku hits the edge of the screen where the stairs lead from upstairs to downstairs, though, the screen goes black. There's a loud banging sound effect-- and a digitized woman's scream.

"DON'T-!!! What for!? Why??"

Glockroach: You tripped you clumsy idiot berd_snurglar: oh man i was worried they'd be dead when we found them but i'm glad we could be there

"Nobody's dead- are they?? Damn you game, are you LOADING on me?!" "How...dare you"

Finally, after that long black screen, the lower floor loads-- but different. The house is dark, it's night. The house has been even more torn apart than by five children; furniture smashed and scattered, windows broken, moonlight coming through.

Zoku is different too. Bea is now controlling an armored, gun-toting soldier in helmet and goggles, who is accompanied by two more. One of them gestures for him to follow, and he pauses and says, "I knew this looked familiar," before handing control back to Bea.

Baconnaise: So Earthbound grew up and it turned out all bad :( berd_snurglar: i really wish i hadn't voted for the pig kid on retrospect

"I assume we'll figure out more as we get further in, but hang in there guys, this could still be fun! Look, one guy is a robot! Or maybe he just has a cool helmet. I'd say this is like Metal Max but nobody knows what that is"

she tries walking around the area- the ruins of a town. she hasn't encountered any enemies yet, but there's nothing to find either.. it really does feel lonely.

When Bea reaches the rendezvous point, the soldiers rejoin Zoku for another briefing.

["You all know a save point when you see one. They're the cornerstone of what's left of our civilization. I need to tell you now: BEWARE. Some of the ones you'll be seeing up ahead are booby traps."]

Baconnaise: Heehee, booby

"Maybe this is just the kids playing in the backyard and its all in their imagination.. Hey let's play dystopian crapscape in the backyard, that's always a blast"

Glockroach: They're all Fallout nerds Llord_Kuruku: I like how save points aren't just something imaginary, they're a literal presence in the game

"He did say that.." The first one she sees makes her pause. Can she trust this old standby in this game? She goes for it.

[SAVE COMPLETE! YOU WILL RETURN FROM THIS SPACE.]

aroseahorseboy: bea that was a huge gamble you just took there

"All right, we're just gonna have to try to get as far as we can and save as little as possible, then. Looks like that's the name of the game!"

The journey through the town commences, with shattered buildings and rubble to navigate your way through-- and surprisingly frequent save points. What isn't frequent is enemies, or anything at all to fight; nothing appears on the screen but your fellow soldiers, and there don't seem to be random encounters.

"First I was excited.. then I was worried, then I was excited again and now I'm just booored" she finally groans. "It would have been nice to have game to go with this opening scene we just had, huh"

The only thing that seems to change is the number of save points-- at first we were seeing them every few screens, but now there's two and three per screen. Soon the screen starts to become a maze of save points to avoid!

Baconnaise: This IS the game bea, you're in save point hell

"Ugh, forge ahead, or quit this one, guys? I really think they just didn't finish this one because otherwise- No Bacon come on, nobody's that cruel.."

HNV: See if you can find one that's booby-trapped, I want to see what happens!

"Good idea, let's see what thats all about!" she steers her party right into the next column of save points she comes to!

[SAVE COMPLETE! YOU WILL RETURN FROM THIS SPACE.]

The whole row keeps saving her place... until the last one. This one causes Zoku to pixelate and disappear!

The black Continue/End screen appears.

"Well that was.. underwhelming?" she reflects on the game a moment. "Heh, the last one. I guess so. Weird."

aroseahorseboy: Bea these are weird but i honestly can't get enough of them Baconnaise: Me neither, keep doing them Don't question it just keep going til you get to the men

"Well, we're finishing this page anyway, it's been a pretty crazy session! I mean I knew it would but, wow. It's been great doing it with you guys though, I'm so happy I dont have to make the journey alone!"

Klickitat_Street: At least there'd be plenty of save points for you if you did! aroseahorseboy: we love you too now PLAY, ho ho ho

[rumble-aint-a-rumble-without-me]

Headcanons ab when the Outsiders need to be cuddled? Like when they’re tired or sad or just want to be held?

A/N: This was so much fun to do, I love being able to write the boys as soft and emotional, they’re just kids and sometimes they have rough days too <3 thanks for requesting!

DARRY CURTIS

When it comes to cuddling Darry, it’s sort of a hit-or-miss situation, it’s only going to end up one of two ways

A) Y’all are gonna cuddle or B) no cuddles, just a quick kiss and a soft I love you

If the boys are around, specifically Sodapop or Ponyboy, option B is the only one available, Darry isn’t really up for lots of cuddles in front of the gang and his brothers

But, on the nights when he comes home from a rough day of work, whether it’s from roofing or working over at Buck’s (@sophie-i-guess13 has that lovely idea), Darry loves cuddles

He’s really touch-starved too, so he just melts when you pull him into your arms and keep him close

Run your fingers through his hair, have a few quiet conversations and kiss his head, you’ll have Darry purring like a cat on your chest <3 

SODAPOP CURTIS

So it’s really rare to see an unhappy Sodapop? Usually, he’s pretty happy and upbeat but that means his sad moments hit a little harder-

But! When he’s upset, he absolutely loves to have your attention on him <3 

Cuddle him and coo sweet nothings as you pet his hair and your darling Sodapop’ll be right as rain in no time whatsoever

And when Soda’s tired? This boy gets even more cuddly if that’s even possible for him

You know he’s tired when he kind of just drapes himself over you and wraps his arms around you, mumbling about how he doesn’t want you to go anywhere

I’ve mentioned he’s a cuddler, in the sleeping headcanons and stuff, but when he’s tired, his cuddly-ness increases tenfold   

PONYBOY CURTIS

No cuddles and I mean absolutely no cuddles, in front of the gang because the boys would never let him live it down

Does this mean his brothers haven’t walked in on the two of you cuddling? Absolutely not, it’s happened and they tease him for it <3

He’s like me, I headcanon Ponyboy to have a slight touch-aversity so that means cuddles are sort of an iffy thing

He doesn’t always need physical contact from you, sometimes just laying together and talking through whatever’s going on is enough for him

Pony really does like having his hair played with though!

So just talk and gently toy with his hair while you do it, he’ll feel a lot better, I promise you that!  

DALLAS WINSTON

Cuddles?? For Dallas Winston?? Are you serious??

If you’re reading this, I assume that you are, in fact, serious about cuddling one of Tulsa’s most infamous greasers-

Dally is going to fight any and all of your attempts to cuddle him, insisting that he’s tough to be cuddled or that he doesn’t need cuddles

But as soon as the two of you are laying down or you’ve got your arms around him, gently tucking his head into the crook of your neck? Dally is melting like a popsicle abandoned on the sidewalk during the hottest day of the year

Pull him close, let him lay on top of you and just hold him there, occasional running your hands up and down his back, letting your fingers drift over his shoulders and the back of his neck

He gets sort of clingy when he’s drunk or tired too, so your best moment to get Dally cuddled is after he’s had a few beers or is exhausted from doing who knows what  

JOHNNY CADE

If you’re in a relationship with Johnny and you don’t cuddle him? Boy, are we gonna have to have a talk because you’re really missing out-

All of the cuddles. Give this boy all of the cuddles in the world.

When he’s upset? Cuddle him and kiss his head, brush his bangs out of the way and kiss the spot between his eyes, and bam, he’s back to being happy 

When Johnny’s tired, he loves being cuddled too, it kind of helps him fall asleep faster!

Let him be the little spoon, alright? I just- Johnny’s the little spoon and that just one of the facts of the universe

It’s like gravity, you just don’t question gravity and you don’t question whether or not Johnathan Cade is the little spoon

TWO-BIT MATHEWS

Like with Sodapop, it’s really rare for Two-Bit to be in a bad mood or be upset over something

He’s got the happy-go-lucky vibe going on, the only things that really make him upset are when people are messing with his people

Cuddles are one of his favorite things though, Two’s a very tactile person with a physical touch love language so I think that kind of speaks for itself

He’s usually the one to instigate the contact in his relationships I guess? Mainly because he can’t sit still and is always moving around

So when you start something, Two-Bit falls even more in love with you, I swear to everything

Personal headcanon of mine, he’s super ticklish, especially in the areas around the bottom of his ribs so just smile and slip your hands under the hem of his shirt and you’ll have a giggling Two in no time

STEVE RANDLE

Guess what guys? Steve’s touch-starved too! He’s the product of a distant mother and a volatile father I suppose

Steve’s home life isn’t exactly the greatest (at least in my headcanon of his background) and that leaves him a little touch and attention-starved

Lucky for you, the solution to both of these problems can be as simple as a good cuddle session

If he’s upset, maybe over losing a drag race or after a bad day at work where customers were being difficult, cuddles are the magic cure

Kiss his forehead and he’s melting in your arms, he lives for all of your gentle touches just as much as he does for your rough-housing

This is one of the only instances that Steve willingly lets you mess up the complicated swirls in his hair because yeah, those swirls take a long time to grease, but the feeling of your hands in his hair is so worth it  

TIM SHEPARD

Don’t expect Tim to admit that he’s upset over something, he’s too tough for that

He would rather die than tell you that something’s bothering him, so you’re gonna just have to learn how to pick up on the physical cues of his moods

He gets sort of quiet and drawn-in, unfocused and spacy when something’s wrong so it’s not really not too hard to pick up on it

Maybe he’s not feelin’ so hot one night because Curly got hauled in again for something stupid and Tim’s gotta figure out if he can manage to get the bail together or if Curly’s gonna go back to reform again-

Sit down next to him and gently tug at his shirt or his hands to pull him against you, it probably won’t take much convincing

Then just cuddle him, you don’t have to talk, just hold him close and run your hands over his back reassuringly   

CURLY SHEPARD

Like his older brother, Curly tries his best to pretend like nothing ever upsets him

If you ask him what’s wrong, he’s just gonna play it off and put on that mask of I’m-totally-okay-even-though-I’m-not-we’re-gonna-pretend-like-it-doesn’t-matter

But, Curly is never going to pass up on cuddles from you, especially if he’s upset and tired-

Cuddling with Curly, no matter how upset or tired he is, is most likely going to turn into a soft make-out

That’s just gonna happen, Curly has problems showing his affections through words and relies on physical displays to get his points across (ex. kisses, holding your hand, wrapping an arm around you)

Tired Curly = Cuddly Curly and unlike his older brother who has a bit of a reputation to keep up, Curly has no qualms whatsoever about draping himself over you like an oversized lap dog

also Frank's missing and Debbie's been keeping count of the days - how many is 137 in like. months? around 4 months

[young-headmaster-ozpin-au]

Because i’m feeling nostalgic, from now on the amount of early 2000s aesthetic/ nonsense is going to increase ten fold. Like, not ONLY does Ozpin have Heelys, i want him to own a shit-ton of Bionicles, play with Kinetic Sand, and then go bounce around in moonshoes. He has whatever the fuck this toy is on his desk 

It sits right beside his Rubik's Cube and Robot Dog/Dinosaur and a Furbie monstrosity that he’s never changed the batteries for so it screams like a demon occasionally and scares the shit out of Mandias

and he has like 12 different Nerf guns (he buys a new one every time the commercial comes on during the ad breaks. He tunes into new episodes of his favorite cartoons every Saturday at exactly 10AM because the DVR can only record two things at once and Mandias is already using them to record some Remnant version of Supernatural and Ghost Hunters). 

I want Oz, Raven, Qrow, and Glynda to walk to Video Rental Shops. Ozpin picks out a fantasy movie and Raven checks out some violent Kung Fu action movie while Glynda picks out a RomCom and Qrow some horribly done movie that was inevitably made about the Grimm Reaper that he loves unironically despite how cheesy and bad it is.

Of course he owns a 2DS and PictoChats with Glynda and Qrow, all of them lying on beanbags in the middle of his office just doodling and sending stupid messages to each other in total silence, save for when they all burst out laughing from a message someone sent

I want Glynda to have one of those spinning fairy toys and to have an easy bake oven and to use multi-colored scrunchies and the biggest collection of Littlest Pet Shop Toys/My Little Ponies/Polly Pocket toys anyone’s ever seen. Of COURSE her room is covered in Boy Band Posters. She has a white FurReal kitty cat

“BOP IT. HIT IT. TWIST IT”

“Bet I can do more skips than you on the Skip It”

Wii game gets a little too aggressive. Qrow’s remote goes flying and hits Ozpin in the face.

That level in Lego Star Wars where you just try to collect all of the coins before time runs out but you just use it to kill the person you’re playing with over and over again using different characters

Ozpin carries around a little case and notebook. Those who are in on the whole “Beacon’s Headmaster is a 14 year old” have a meeting with him and are like “oh, he’s actually taking this seriously.” He puts the notebook on the table, flips to the first page all professional-like. they start the meeting Oz places the case on the table and it like

“Anyone need something to write with?”

And a few people are like “oh, i do”

Then he pops the case open and it’s just

Ozpin: What color?

One businessman: you know what, I’m fine actually

Some other businessman: ..............................can i have a blue marker?

And someone else it just: *sigh......* i want the red crayon.

Ozpin just handing them out until everyone is situated. At the end of the meeting, many people have just started doodling and coloring on their notepads and clipboards. This becomes a regular occurrence. While in meetings now, people are making little crafts and art pieces out of construction paper, popsicle sticks. The room smells like Elmer’s glue and playdough and cheap paint

They still get work done but it’s 80x more fun than it’s ever been and now EVERYONE looks forward to the meetings instead of dreading them

Mandias, who had tried his damndest to keep things professional and even thought all of this was a stupid idea, is utterly confused, shocked, and impressed

Previous: The Tirek Timeline

The Discorded Timeline

The new Element bearers had not appeared. With nothing to fall back on, Celestia went to face the return of her sister armed only with her determination and desperation. With the knowledge that anything other than subduing her sister would result in Luna’s death or her ponies’ enslavement, Celestia fought with all her heart. 

A thousand years hadn’t tempered Nightmare Moon’s madness, but it had grown Celestia’s magical skill. The clash of the last remaining alicorns filled the sky with light and darkness that could be seen across the entire country... including from the gardens of the castle in Canterlot, where a long-dormant statue waited.

If Celestia had known the danger... if she had known that the Tree of Harmony had grown weaker over a thousand years... if she had known that the Element magic used to imprison Discord was weakened with it, and he only needed one significant bit of discord to break the last lock on his prison... she might have preferred allowing Nightmare Moon to take the throne. 

Because two alicorn sisters displaying their ground-shattering discord across the skies was more than enough. 

Discord caught them mid-battle...and was honestly kinda irritated to find them more focused on fighting each other than challenging him. He couldn’t even set up a good game for them to lose at before he took over! He’d just have to fix that with a bit of chaos magic. A quick boop to the heads, and... well, things didn’t turn out quite like he expected. Celestia became haughty, snide, and violent, but Luna changed out of her (decidedly tacky, but what could you expect from pony fashion) goth look and turned all nice and weirdly remorseful. Luna tried to appeal to her sister, Celestia (who now had an interesting tinge of fire in her mane) unleashed some demeaning verbal attacks, and pretty soon it looked like they were gearing up for another fight, and...

Well, this was stupid. They were so focused on each other, they weren’t even paying attention to him! He’d fix that with another boop on Celestia’s noggin - really annoying, having to un-chaos someone, but at least it put the two ponies on the same side so they could get their priorities straight and focus on...

Ah, yes, there it was! Just what he’d waited for these past thousand years: two alicorn sisters, both staring at him with horror and worry and that oh-so-precious pony determination. Too bad they had already worn themselves out with their fight over who-knew-what. They were almost pathetically easy to overpower, especially with not an Element in sight.

The princesses were his playthings. Equestria would be shifted and reformed under his chaotic whim. And none stood able to challenge him.

The Reign of Discord had begun.

----

Meanwhile, Salespitch was visiting Canterlot at just the wrong time, and... 

Well, what do you think happens when a lord of chaos notices a pony standing in the middle of the road, trying its hardest to not show how petrified it is, and it has a horn and wings but clearly no alicorn magic? And then said lord of chaos investigates said pony out of curiosity, mocks him about playing princess, and is amazed when said pony actually gets annoyed enough to scold Discord that no, he is NOT an alicorn, he’s never WANTED to be an alicorn, and he would really prefer it if people didn’t mistake him for royalty when he’s just a stallion with a genetic mutation trying to live a normal life!!!

Discord thought that was the funniest thing he’d ever heard. 

Long story short, instead of Discording Sales’ personality, Discord just... made his biggest annoyance a reality. Obviously he didn’t give Sales FULL alicorn powers, and what powers he did give him are pretty wonky - the ability to turn random objects into suitcases, and fly upside down, and speak in a dramatic Royal Canterlot Voice at random and totally inconvenient times, etc. The royal regalia was a stroke of genius inspired by one of this new era’s “cartoon characters,” a perky little alicorn called Prince Smiley. (The fact that Sales had once dressed as said character for Nightmare Night was sheer coincidence, although Discord would have found that even more perfect.) 

Obviously Sales was horrified, which is really the wrong reaction, because it just made the whole thing funnier to Discord and thus made the draconequus that much less likely to forget about Sales and go pester other ponies. Anonymity is your friend in Discord’s kingdom.

Now, Discord being Discord, he gets bored of things easily - including mocking and tormenting the powerless alicorn princesses. There’s a whole nation to twist and remodel into a true chaotic kingdom! Plenty of other ponies to give him some variety. Turning them to stone would be so gauche and ruin his single moral high ground over the ponies, so when Discord tires of his princess fun, he turns the alicorn sisters into fillies and leaves them with his newly-appointed Prince of Babysitting. After all, shouldn’t an "alicorn” be in charge of baby alicorns? Discord even made him a lovely glass castle with stone windows - more of a cage, really, since Sales can’t leave it, but he has a throne and everything! Discord doesn’t even have to worry about manipulating somecreatures into worshipping the new “prince”; Sales has already got his own cult that fawns over him outside the see-through castle like a fanclub, to Sales’ eternal embarrassment. Yes, this is clearly the best setup Discord could have come up with all around, takes-hand-off-and-pats-self-on-the-back.

Time passes with no end in sight for the madness that has turned Equestria into a kaleidoscope’d chaos playground. Sales kind of falls into a perpetually annoyed resignation. He tries to be grateful - at least he still possesses full control of his mind, unlike so many ponies outside his weird castle. He has the honor of safeguarding the princesses - although he feels guilty that he can’t actually protect them from Discord’s whims. But he can keep them happy, and the few times he gets to talk with them before or after they’ve been in their baby states, Celestia manages to give him a word of encouragement or gratitude. (Plus, well, they ARE pretty adorable as fillies... even if he is NOT the world’s best babysitter and has to figure things out on the fly. He really wishes his mom were here.)

There is one actual advantage to all this. Ironically, Sales has a closer connection with Discord than most; since Discord made Sales the caretaker of the princesses, he actually talks to Sales sometimes. Granted, he mostly treats Sales as a captive audience to whine at when Discord starts getting bored of whatever recent chaotic plan he’s enacted. After all, when EVERYTHING is chaos... well, chaos almost becomes normal, so Discord keeps having to up himself. Sales actually manages to have conversations with him sometimes, and he’s gotten a glimpse of the truth even Discord can’t or won’t recognize: that he’s lonely, dissatisfied, and lacks a real sense of purpose or fulfillment.

Sales has to treat carefully, since annoying or upsetting Discord too much results in chaotic ‘punishments’ that are usually more disorienting and frustrating than actually harmful. But Sales has started picking his ear a little bit with hints that maybe Discord is bored because most creatures subject to his chaos don’t enjoy it like he does? Maybe sharing fun WITH people is better than just having fun for yourself at others’ expense? I mean, look at you, Discord, the only pony you really talk to is a nobody you made into an alicorn just to embarrass him.  That’s a pretty lonely way to live, isn’t it?

Sometimes Discord listens while making snarky comments. Other times Discord gets irritated and turns Sales into a tiny alicorn who has to ride around on baby Celestia’s back and try not to get stepped on (or something of that nature). But Sales keeps trying and hoping and praying he’ll get through, because if they ever hope to stop Discord’s reign of chaos... well, it might just take teaching the Lord of Chaos what friendship is.

Even if the only pony currently able to make the effort finds him super annoying.

-----

Fun Facts About The Discorded Timeline:

- Yes, Luna’s popsicle is her cutie mark. I suppose once she digests it it will reappear back on her flank. XD

- Cadence hasn’t become an alicorn yet in this timeline. The chaos events do lead to her meeting Shining Armor, though, because TRUE LOVE and such :D

- Sales’ cult ABSOLUTELY LOVES THIS SITUATION. I mean, a lot of them hope/expect that Sales will eventually break free and defeat Discord now that he is showing his true alicorn might. Sales yells at them through the walls sometimes, but they have a hard time hearing him, so naturally they make up all sorts of “godly” nonsense he’s supposedly sharing.

- Discord did in fact accidentally cure Luna of the bad magic that was fueling and feeding off her old rage and paranoia. She and Celestia have pretty well made up through these weird events. And as Discord grows bored of their initial humiliation, his torments get less frightening and more, well, just weird, so life is KINDA bearable. Plus they really like Sales now (they don’t remember their adult selves while they are babies, but Discord makes sure they can remember every embarrassing toddler thing they did when they get aged back to normal.)

- Sales doesn’t know what’s going on with his family, they were back home when this happened. He’s hopeful they didn’t get affected too badly. In fact, Featherhorn (his hometown) got turned into a cardboard village and a few ponies had their heads swapped around, but Discord hasn’t made any connection between them and Sales, so he doesn’t think anything special of the place. Mostly just chocolate rain, flying rhinobunnies, and corncob trees. Everypony agrees it could be worse (but not out loud, that’s just ASKING for trouble!) Also Per talks backwards now, but everyone can still understand her (somehow) so it evens out.

- Black DOES run into Discord at one point while trying to sneak into Sales’s castle. Discord thinks he’s just another of Sales’ fanclub, so he turned him blue and forgot about him. Black finds this super annoying, especially when he can’t change his color no matter what magical disguise he makes.

- Don’t even worry about Sombra, he’s not touching a Discorded Equestria with a ten foot pole. Honestly Discord probably went after him as soon as he showed up, adding the Crystal Empire to his chaos kingdom. 

- The Changelings are staying the HECK away in their nice little magic-negating castle, the only safe haven from Discord. Pony refugees actually try and go there, although it is tricky to get around the thick forest of living candy Discord erected all the way around their territory. Those who do get in exchange servitude and donations of love for safety. It keeps the changelings fed and the ponies feel safer working for bug-ponies in a place of order than out in the madness of Discord’s land.

- So as you might imagine, Sales can’t break through the glass of his glass castle. If he were to try and smash through the stone windows, though... let’s just say he feels really smart AND really dumb while making his escape attempt. It doesn’t go over well with Discord, especially when he manages to successfully pawn the baby princesses off to some of his cult members (one of whom is Black, don’t worry), who hide them away. This leads to a rather heated conversation when Discord catches up with him... and perhaps a moment of truth where Discord might realize he actually does maybe kinda sorta consider this silly brown pony a friend who he possibly doesn’t want to severely punish as a warning to other ponies who might defy him. Maybe.

- Art note: I didn’t draw a background for this one initially, and then I got around to coloring them and knew it needed SOMETHING. Came up with the glass castle with stone windows because that seems Discord-like. Also baby bottle trees. The idea for breaking the stone windows was literally last minute as I wrote this, so bonus!

Ancient History Chapter 5

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Bucky Barnes

Warning: Period Homophobia, nothing major but just putting this here for you.

A/N: This is chapter 5 of “Ancient History” for @the-marvel-horniest-book-club and the rest of the HBC’s sister blogs “Week of Love”. I combined last nights and today’s prompts though I did change last nights prompt of “First sleep over” to moving in, because Peter and Steve are close but not that close. Anyway, I loved writing this and can’t wait for tomorrow’s final chapter.

“Oh my God! It’s official! Move over Pony! Stucky is the official ship of the Avengers! Your story is too cute! And this is before Steve turns into those red, white, and blue popsicles, and Bucky becomes a murderous carebear! That’s it, I’m going to run for president, just so I can declassify all of this! This is so much more interesting than what they teach us now. No offense to Peggy, she seems like an amazing person, it’s just your love story is soooo boring. It’s like they just took Romeo and Juliet and changed it. Which, now that I think about it, that’s exactly what they did. Two dimensional growth. Anyway, what happens next?!”

Steve looks at Bucky, confused. “Don’t look at me popsicle, I’m a murderous care bear.”

“Geez, Petey, thanks, I guess. Don’t know if I should be offended or grateful. What happens next, well it's equal parts happiness and terror. Besides a few times in the war, this has been one of my most fearful experiences.”

This gets Peter a little bit too excited. “Yes! Finally! No offense this has been absolute tooth rotting fluff. Or at least that’s what the tag would be on this story.”

Steve and Bucky stare Peter down, because yikes, someone’s a little too happy for some angst. This causes Peter to blush, turning beet red from embarrassment.

“Uhm… That’s not what I mean. I know that this is your guys life and it’s wrong of me to wish bad stuff on you guys it’s just… Like everything was going smooth. Like that doesn’t even happen in my own life with powers. So it’s nice to see that you’re normal too and that…”

“Spidey, we get it. Just you were a little too excited. But you’re right. We do look at the past with these rose colored glasses. But I now know what Steve’s thinking of, and he’s right. It was a scary experience for us Peter. You have to remember when we lived. And as we tell you this that this whole story could have ended a lot worse. But relax kid, and sit back. You’re safe from this murderous care bear, for now.

----- Walking back home to Steve’s apartment, Bucky is exploding with excitement. He literally can’t wait to tell Steve the good news. A few months back at work, there was an accident at the docks and one of the higher up workers had to leave his position. Of course all of the workers felt terrible for this man, but they were also realistic. They were in the middle of a depression, and this accident opened up a possibility for one of them to be promoted to a better paying job. And Bucky he wanted, no needed, this job. Just a few months ago, Sarah passed away. Steve says he’s fine living by himself, but Bucky wants to be there for Steve. He wants their own place where they can make their own memories together. Be a couple and do couple things without fear of someone reporting them. Bucky was determined to get that promotion. He worked his ass off, staying longer, doing more. Trying to do anything so his boss would see him. It strained his relationship with Steve (he wanted to keep all of this a secret. He didn’t want to get Steve’s hopes up over nothing. That’d be worse for his heart. Though thankfully, Bucky got that promotion and was on his way to talk to Steve. He already put in an application for an apartment that the both of them liked, they just didn’t have the money then, but now, they did.

“Stevie? You here?” Bucky calls out as he hangs his jacket on the coat rack as he goes to find Steve.

“Yeah, in here, drawing!” Steve calls out from his art room, which was a closet they were able to convert. Mainly because of how small Steve was.

“Hey, punk. What’re you working on?”

Steve sets down his brush and stretches, “O’Leary wants some art done on his windows for Christmas. He’s paying 25 whole dollars for it!”

Bucky whistles, “good hell Stevie! You keep drawing like that, we’ll be in a mansion in no time.”

Steve chuckles, “well, don’t go buying no mansions quite yet. Anyway why are you home early?”

Bucky holds his hand, and leads Steve to the couch. “Well, I’m glad that you asked. You remember that apartment we looked at?”

“Yes, and I also remember we don’t have the money for it.”

Bucky squeezes his hand. “Well, you remember that accident we had at work. I got the promotion! I applied for that apartment and we got it too! We’re going to have our own place honey!”

Leaning in Steve kisses him. “So proud of you Buck. All the hard work you do. Now, use some of that work and help me start packing.”

The move in went great. Neither of the boys had too much stuff, and George, Bucky’s dad, was able to find a pickup truck and take over their boxes. The apartment was a 2 bedroom, so to his family, Steve was a roommate to help with bills.

Once they finally had everything settled in, Bucky and Steve decided to invite Becca, Bucky’s sister, over for some dinner. It’d be a great way to “break-in” their apartment. Bucky was making his special depression soup. The ingredients were relatively cheap, but he somehow worked his Bucky magic to make it taste great. He’s adding his finishing touches as he listens to Becca tell Steve all about her day. Luckily her job survived the depression so she still had some form of income. Wiping his hands with a kitchen towel, Bucky made his way over to Steve, plopping down next to him.

“Dinner’s just finishing up. Should be done here soon.” Bucky says as Steve leans in and kisses Bucky on the cheek. Something they’ve done so many times it’s a habit. But as Steve realizes what he’s done. They both freeze. Sure, Becca is family, but they’ve read the news. Stories about how a person’s own parents report them, thinking jail and hard labor is going to save their child.

They’re petrified due to their fear. Bucky stutters, trying to salvage their safety.

“Becs, it’s not what it looks like. We’re-”

Becca chuckles as she grabs Bucky’s hand.

“What, you think I’m going to turn you in? We’ve known since you were 16. Hell, even Sarah knew. She’d come and talk to Ma and they both would fret over you two. Your secret is safe with me. I’m just glad that the both of you are happy.”

Steve chokes up a little, “My ma, she knew?”

Becca smiles softly as she holds Steve’s hand. “Of course she did. And from what I heard, she was so proud of you. Saying it’s a damn shame you can’t get married. That’s all she ever wanted, you know. Was for you to be happy.”

This brought an odd sense of closure to Steve, one that Bucky was happy he got. The timer went off, loudly in the quiet room, scaring all of them.

Bucky jumps up and makes his way to the kitchen.

“Well, now that little scare is over, time to eat!”

[thorinthehottotty]

Loved the thorin being transported to the modern world so have this: How would Thorin react to being shown his very first swimming pool and the beach? Especially you explaining the importance of sunscreen, showing him the docks and ports of the beach, showing him volleyball, braiding his hair so it isn't too wild in the ocean, AND POPSICLES!!! BUYING CUTE BEACH MERCH!! And having to deal with the male and female gaze cause yall too damn fine 😙

Omg, don't get me started on his hair. The pony tail gifs kill me every damn time! You've given me so much fuel!

I think he'd be kind of in his element a bit. Like swimming would be a thing the dwarves would take great joy in but they do it naked so when you ask him if he wants to go to the beach, he'd be surprised when your shoving shorts into his hand.

The moment he saw you in your suit, he'd be loving it and hating it all at once. Whatever the poision you chose bikini, monokini, one piece or anything else of the sort, you'd have his full attention.

So when you show up to a pool and its not a river or a beach but a very blue swimming pool, he's surprised. It reminds him of the hot springs of Erebor but the chemicals burn his nose and eyes and he doesn't much like that aspect of it.

So you take him to sandy beaches instead. He wouldn't argue the sun screen, not when you were pushing his hair out of the way and rubbing it on for him (they were totally out of the spray at the store). He put up little fight for it, especially if he got to return the favor. He might be just a little handsy about it, but its not like you mind. He'd be especially careful to put it everywhere because if youre like me (pasty, allergic to the sun, and have a family history of melanoma) he would want to make sure youre as protected as possible.

He'd like the piers, especially if they were the enormous ones and probably be facinated by the games (which he would totally rock some and get completely frustrated by others). He'd be all up on the ferris wheel with you the moment he saw other couples doing it too.

You'd get a little jealous of the hungry looks he'd be getting but over all, he wouldn't pay them mind. He'd go to buy you both drinks (and popcicles) and turn around to find some young frat guys doing the kind of "oops, sorry, ball was just getting too close and i fell in your lap" thing for the volleyball tornument your watching nearby and just walk up, very calm, hand you your stuff and sink down behind you. Not that you showed any signs of caring. He'd just smirk when you eagerly dive for the popcicle he's offering. Makes it very clear to frat bois that you are not on the market and he's quite intimidating with his rune tattoos and deep scars.

He would not be prepared for you to 'accidently' drop it on his chest and lick it off... But he'd get you back later for it.

If there are surfers near by, he'd be interested in that and volleyball. Swimming is more relaxing as it approaches sunset because most of the kids are gone. Then its just the two of you soaking up the last of the sun before getting dinner and you get him sweatshirts, mostly so you can steal them.

The sweat rolling off my forehead was insane at this point, like I know that my hormones are fucked right now, but it feels like I’ve stepped out of the shower.

“Baby, you’ve got to stop kicking me, my gallbladder isn’t a punching bag,” I whisper to bulging stomach, I still felt the vigorous kicking. “You’re sweating awfully.” My sister points out and I look up, she was sipping her lemonade.

“I’m a hormonal pregnant lady in the heart of L.A, we don’t mix.” I sass and she laughs. “We can go inside.” She offers and I nod quickly, standing up out of the hot chair. We made it inside and it felt amazing, I went to the freezer to pull out a popsicle, I needed something cool.

“Damn girl, your boobs have gotten huge!” She looked at my chest and I laughed, I looked down and noticed the sweat stain of the bottom part of my boob. “Well, they’re full of milk.” I joke and sprawl out on the couch, she sat in front of me on the loveseat.

“What about those thighs girl, they’re not full of milk.” I could tell she was joking but I found myself frowning, I looked down at them and they looked bigger just because they were pressed against the couch. “Thick thighs save lives.” I play it off and eat a piece off the popsicle.

“Okay baby, we need to take a shower. Momma is still sweating.” I say aloud to my stomach again, this little girl is going to be worth the blood, sweat, and tears. Literally.

I turn on the cold water and put myself under it, it has been the most comfortable feeling of today. I washed my hair and sat in the water some more until I was ready to wash my body.

I put soap in my hand, as I looked down I noticed how I couldn’t even see my feet, I could see a peak of my thighs and obviously my boobs, but I felt huge. Not there’s anything wrong with that, I just felt self-conscious.

After everything that had been said and how much my hormones were changing, I felt as though I looked awful. Completely awful.

“Babies, I’m home!” I hear Shawn’s voice yell, he must’ve been entering the bedroom. “Showering,” I yell back and I hear the bathroom door crack. “It’s not steamy in here, are you okay?” He asks and I heard him peeing, what a guy. “I’ve been sweating all damn day,” I say back, washing the body wash off. As soon as I was finished, I turned the water off.

The curtain shifted quickly, Shawn standing in front of me, I closed it as fast as he opened it. “Babe, I’ve seen you naked before, that is why we’re having a baby girl.” He jokes and I rolled my eyes, I reached my hand out for a towel. He knew what I wanted and put one in my hand, I wrapped most of it around me. Some of it didn’t cover, obviously.

I open the curtain this time and he was sitting on the toilet seat, phone in hand. “Oh, look at you girl.” He was whistling and I shook my head. “You’re such a guy.”

We were staring at each other for a second before I used my hand to usher towards the door. “Baby, I can stay and watch you get changed, I can even help.” He smirked and I made a bigger gesture towards the door. He sighed before walking out and closing the door behind him.

I changed into my shorts and a baggy shirt, I still felt like I could break out in a sweat. However, the more I stood in the bathroom the more I realized I needed to get my daily Shawn hug, it always helped. I look in the mirror once more with a sigh, and I head out of the bathroom. I made my way to Shawn’s silhouette on the bed.

“There’s my big girl!” He exclaimed and I felt my heart twinge a little. “Thanks,” I mumble and turn the opposite way of him, heading down to the kitchen.

I heard the bounding down the stairs behind me as I stood at the end, I continued my way toward the kitchen. I pull the peanut butter down and I put a bag of popcorn into the microwave. “I smell popcorn, where’s the peanut butter?” Shawn asks as he came into the kitchen, I emotionlessly held it up for him to see.

I had my own spoon ready to eat the peanut butter out of the jar. “You look adorable eating peanut butter.” He smiles and I roll my eyes mid-bite. “I’m sure.”

I eat a few more bites before I pull the beeping popcorn out of the microwave. I set it on the counter and dip my full spoon into the bag. I eat the attached popcorn, loving the taste.

“Baby, you’re not talking to me. This isn’t right.” He pouts and takes a step forward, I saw the puppy dog face and almost lost it.

“It’s not you okay, I’m just a mess,” I admit and continued to eat. “Well you’re my mess, the mess that I love to take care of, so talk.” He says as he reached down to steal a piece of popcorn.

“No, because when I say it aloud I sound stupid. I’m just hormonal and pregnant.” I whine and he laughs. “You’re 7 months along, I’ve been here for this long. So, spill it.” He put my hair into a low pony, he had taken the scrunchy off my wrist. He pushed the baby hairs out of my face.

“Maybe, kinda, I've been self-conscious today.”

I admit with my head hanging low, I felt Shawn shuffle closer. “What does my beautiful wife have to be self-conscious about?” He sounded upset as he gripped my waist.

“I’ve gotten so big! I know I’m having a kid but I can’t even see my feet! My boobs have gotten so big and it’s ridiculous. Not to mention you called me your big girl earlier and it just made me more upset.” I explain and he pouts.

“Baby, I called you big girl so when you came near I could say hello to my little girl,” he rubbed my stomach gently, “plus you have every reason to be upset okay. Just think of it this way and when I say it, it might sound weird; your stomach is big because it’s giving our girl so much protection from the world and keeping her safe in a place she can grow. Your boobs are huge and that’s fine with me, but you’re making milk that’ll feed our girl, somewhere for her to lay, and the first place she’ll be able to see you because her eye strength can only see from the chest up. She’ll see that pretty face of yours.” He sounded like an OBGYN.

There were tears flowing and I just knew he was too amazing for me. He’s been the most supportive husband during our first pregnancy, I literally love the hell out of him.

“Baby, are you okay?” He asks and I nod quickly, I engulfed him in a hug but my stomach mostly stopped us.

“It’s just that you’re so good to me all the time. I literally do not deserve you at all, you’re so good to me, us. I just, I love you.” I was sobbing and I felt his chest rustle with a laugh. He pulled me back some so he could see my eyes.

“Honey, you don’t have to cry, I do love you so much and I know you love me too. I’m going to help you for the rest of your life, I’ll be here to cheer you up and make sure you know that I don’t care about your looks. You’re my girl and I will forever love you for letting me make a family with you. So don’t cry, I’m right here.” He brushes the tears off.

It stays silent as I put myself back into his arms, my head cushioned in his neck. “Baby,” I ask as I pull away, “why do you know the most random facts?” I ask and his face turned slightly red.

“I might’ve read a pregnancy book when you first told me we were having a baby.” He mumbles and I smiled widely. “You’re the cutest husband and father.” I kissed his lips quickly.

“I’ll do whatever it takes.”

Penny x Neo pt.1

"Alright, do you PINKY PROMISE that you wont try to escape, Neo?"

Neo looped her pinky finger around that of Penny, and nodded.

"Okay! I will get you to a much safer location!" Penny ripped off the lock and opened ghe cell door. She grabbed Neo by the wrist and led her out. "I found out that I need to go back to Atlas today, and I hope I can take you with me!"

General Ironwood strolled out of the headmasters building. "You were right Penny, according to Ozpins secret records, Glynda DOES have a record of abusing her power with prisoners. Yet she has not ever mistreated a student as far as I can tell, so for now she remains the headmistress of Beacon, I am sorry Penny."

Penny normally would never go against what Ruby said, but she trusted Ironwood as much as she trusted her friend and calculated that he might be more mature.

"Thats okay Genny! Can we take Neo back with us? I dont think she is safe here..."

General Ironwood thought about it. "If you keep her handcuffed throughout the trip, and dont let her hand off of her the whole time until she is secured, we can on one condition..."

"Yes?"

"Dont call me Genny ever again. Its General Ironwood. Or just Ironwood. Or just General. Not. Genny."

"Okay! Can we take RUBY too?"

General Ironwood smiled and shook his head. "I know you love her, but she has to stay here at Beacon."

He totally shipped them. And not on one of those small ships either. One of the big Atlas battlecruisers.

After cuffing Neo properly, Penny led her inside the Atlas ship as they were about to leave. Penny felt a little bad about disobeying Ruby and getting the authorities involved but she calculated it was the best course of action. Besides, what was Ruby going to do? They were girlfriends, and Penny didnt have to always do what she said!

Meanwhile, Neo was amazed by the interior of the ship. It was so big and open! There was a fountain and palm trees! Beautiful Atlas people were all over the place! There was a massive picture of a womans head sticking up out of a boot! There were bridges overhead leading to various doors, with pillars and chains holding the bridges up. On the ground floor she could even see small shops selling various foods and luxery items!

"General Ironwood! Can you buy me one of those please??" Penny begged while pointing with her free hand at a shop selling t-shirts. One type they were selling were Ruby T-shirts.

He said no, though. He bought her a Ruby popsicle last time and she just ate it. He didnt want to buy her a shirt just to have her eat it.

Neo expected the inside of the ship to be boring but it was actually very nice. There were of course soldiers and robots everywhere, as it was a military ship. But since it so rarely got in a fight, most people just seemed to be having a good time.

"General Ironwood can we go to the pool?"

"Do you have any damage on your synthetics?"

"No sir!"

He looked at Neo. "She cant swim. Shes handcuffed. So unless you want to stay in the wading area while holding onto her, I suggest you just go to your room."

"Awe... Okay.."

Penny led Neo to her room, not that Neo really had a choice where they went. She was again surprised. There was a large aquarium full of fish and crabs that wall filled with decor, a plexiglass window that took up the whole wall (during fights the metal hull would close over it though) and a bed that was literally just a pile of hay. Ruby posters and art covered the wall the hay was up against, and a communications station sat by the giant window. There was also a small bookshelf containing the entirety of the Monster Prom series and My Little Pony and The Real World™

(the last series was one only Ironwood liked, really. But he thought it was educational and interesting so he gave it to Penny, who like most readers thought the 2016 election ending was unrealistic and stopped reading after that.)

Penny flopped onto the hay, dragging Neo with her.

Neo wanted to ask why her bed was just hay, but Penny was explaining it already. "Doesnt laying on this hay instead of an industrial robot transport box make you feel like a real girl, Neo? It seems so natural! I feel like I am a real creature when laying here!"

Neo always felt like a real creature but she nodded anyway.

"We are going to have lots of fun, dont look so sad! Just wait until tomorrow! Im sorry you have to be locked up all the time..." Penny tried to cheer her up and kissed her on the cheek like Ruby. Neo blushed and suddenly there was ice cream.

"Neo! This bed takes forever to clean, dont make that here!" Penny said, not really mad but making Neo blush more anyway. As cute as Penny was, she missed Roman Torchwick an awful lot.

To be continued...
