#i cannot take it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brittle-doughie]

Initial fic

Things didn’t have to be this way…you will be gifted another chance…

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

△ You still loved your lost partner, even after all these years! You didn’t want to let them go just yet, not like this!

“Decades, centuries, millennia. Yet it took only a few years for that Cookie to engrain themself into your heart. They cannot love you anymore, Y/N Cookie. Not like we could. We can be happy here, just you and me…”

“And with me, Y/N Cookie. I have always placed your happiness and safety first. Now I want to heal you from the inside, won’t you give me that chance?”

“They would’ve wanted you to move on…”

△ For a moment, those chains faltered. Hiding her widening smile, Eternal Sugar pulled at the chains as they loosened. You wanted to look, but Hollyberry kept you focused on her.

“You won’t have to know pain anymore, Y/N Cookie. This is for the good of all of us, for your own too…”

“For my own good…?”

“That old love of yours has been suffocating you, have they not? Placing these chains around your heart so you couldn’t love another. Love us. Love ME! How could they be so selfish!”

“That’s not true!”

△ The chains tightened up, much to Eternal Sugar’s surprise and slight annoyance…

“Hollyberry Cookie, dear! Upsetting my heavenly dearest wasn’t the plannnnn~”

“Am I not wrong? Y/N Cookie should’ve been able to be happy ages ago! It’s cruel to leave someone you love to suffer in pain for so long! It…it makes my jam start to boil!”

“I know they cared for me, selfish is one of many words I wouldn’t describe them with.”

“Why should they matter to you now? They’re gone, Y/N Cookie! They can’t HURT you anymore! It is now your turn to let go like me and learn that you CAN find love again! Right here, with us!”

“Hollyberry Cookie, dear! Please calm down!”

△ The spiritual chains around you heart tightened back up to the point of not budging anymore as Eternal Sugar trying to settle down a heated up Hollyberry.

“Getting upset won’t fix anything! We’re trying to convince our heavenly to join us in paradise eternal!”

“I love Y/N Cookie, spending our days here together is all I ever wanted. But that can’t be a dream made reality if their old love still clouds their mind. I think we should-“

△ The snapping of a branch in the bushes made the two Cookies’ heads snap up at that direction.

“It appears we had an intruder in the garden…”

“Allow me to take care of it!”

△ Hollyberry Cookie equipped her shield and charged forward the bushes, the culprit leaping out of the bushes with a roar!

“A tiger?!”

“It matters not to me! Listen here, tiger! You will not delay my future with Y/N Cookie anymore!”

*ROAR!*

△ You watched as the butter tiger caused quite the ruckus as Hollyberry tried to land a hit on it, only for it to dodge out of the way with it’s high leaps and moves to the side. Eternal Sugar had to move away from you to help Hollyberry!

△ You were so focused on the sight that you didn’t notice the hand about to force feed you bitter berries. You tried to gag, but a hand covered your mouth.

“Ssshh…don’t…make noise…”

△ Those berries…were working! You were able to move again as you quietly got off your comfy seat.

“Tiger Lily Cookie? Butter Tiger? How did you…”

“Worry about “how” later. We need to get you away from here!”

“….You’re right. Let’s go…”

△ The three of you moved quickly into the bushes, Tiger Lily tossed something into the air as she ran along with you two.

△ The Butter Tiger, noticing the thrown object in the air at a distance, took the cue and fled the scene.

“The tiger…left? It was putting up quite the fight to just give up…why?”

“No…no no no NO!”

“Eternal Sugar Cookie, what’s the…matter?”

△ Hollyberry had followed Eternal Sugar’s horrified gaze, her own face following suit when she saw that the cloud holding the Cookie she loved was GONE.

“The tiger…..was a diversion….someone took them…”

△ The incoming shrieking was LOUD.

“MY HEAVENLY!!! MY HEAVENLY WAS STOLEN!!!! SWEETLING!!!”

“Y/N COOKIE!!!”

△ Hearing their horrified screams in the distance almost made you feel bad.

△ Almost….

if PewDiePie has other siblings in another universe in the gaming platform it's probably him. he can be an ace in gaming but he chose to be humble and hide behind his computer. he may struggle a lot with his problems and may be afraid to deal with them. he can be a drinker especially when the stress cannot be hold anymore and his emotional turmoil seeking a help from someone. he prefer to drink and go alone rather than seeking advices from his friends and family, he is afraid of negative judgement. he is friendly- he is the type of individual that you can get along with immediately. he is a people person. late night deep conversations and walks is his thing. he is reliable especially in case of emergency. he is a big fan of movie. he has a deep love for animals. he used to be sad and depressed fella but now he is starting to change himself into more cheerful and someone who is seizing the moment than let it slip away from his hand. it's sad to say but this person has been through a lot in his life especially in his young age era. i don't think of him, trusting others that easily rather he is calculating and observing deeply before having a mark impression. he think that people in his life before used to dislike him because the way he acting is so authentic and they may viewed him as someone who is faking his personality but little these people know that's his real characteristics. that's gives him an idea of being alone is good at all, it's giving so much peace and safe feeling into his soul. these new tactics take himself a strange and high power at this stage of his life. thus, i don't think he like to share his ideas, goals and opinion much with others because it's a trauma from his past as someone being ignored. sometimes he become snob, moody and bitter especially when he can't handle professionally his emotions and actions. he frequently want to avoids the harsh things of life and this makes him as someone who has a strong personality in his own world and stage; behind his computer room.

[rhisturn]

dare i say, this is getting a bit ridiculous now.

the no video after tour was enough tbh, if you think about it from the other way around, people, including myself, paid thousands of dollars/pounds to be at tour, travelled 16 hours in my case, and then we couldn’t even get a vid.. i completely understand in that case they needed to rest, but wasn’t it like 2 whole weeks since tour ended at that point.

but what’s the excuse now, this isn’t the first time in the past couple months they’ve done this either. the stalking situation cannot be used as reasoning either because matt especially has been the most active he’s been in months this past week, and if that was the issue they would have gone completely silent. if they were to have been silent all week, and not post today because of the situation. i would have 100% understood, i’m sure we all would. but that hasn’t been the case

i get nervous saying this shit because people lick their arses so bad in this fandom. like i love them so much, but it’s okay to call them out. they’ve one ‘public’ obligation a week, to post a 20 minute video on a friday at 2:30. that’s it. they don’t do anything else anymore. it’s not like we’re getting hours of twitch streams, wednesday videos, podcasts or anything. one video is all they gotta do. bare in mind it pays their rent, is their source of income, is the reason they are where they are. like how are we struggling with ts.

of course it’s also okay to be late with things, it happens. but again, this is their job. haven’t they been doing this long enough for this to be a non existent problem anymore. schedule videos if you know your gonna be busy or if there’s a chance your gonna miss a post. but the thing that bothers me if the lack of communication, being almost an hour late at this point is one thing, but for there to also be complete radio silence, is ridiculous. if your running late or even if you aren’t gonna post. it takes a second to tell us. they’ve got no communication skills with us anymore

i understand not wanting to talk to us like they used to, especially after the past week. but it’s still, again, their fucking job to do this shit. i feel like it’s not a lot to expect. this is probaly at this point the most hate they’ve ever gotten in their career with the ‘their falling off’ and ‘their gonna quit soon’ shit, so if that isn’t the case wouldn’t you go out of the way to improve your content and do the absolute most to ensure people stop talking. not to make it worse, again.

i feel like it this point it’s starting to piss everyone off. at the end of the day, their 21 year old men and this is their only job. when they do stuff wrong, we don’t have to baby them and act like the lack of accountability or communication is okay. in their line of work, that is quite literally their only responsibility. and even amongst everything going on with the hate at the minute. they clearly still don’t care.

this obviously isn’t just about not posting today, cs that would be slightly dramatic lol. but this has been a problem for months and months. even before tour. there’s no excuses anymore.

edit:

well chris has just posted a pic on instagram and nick is liking posts so clearly their all fine and there’s nothing wrong for all the people using that as an excuse. they just don’t even have the decency to tell us anymore, love this dynamic we’ve got going on with them now. 10/10 communication

don’t rip me to shreds please and thanks :)

[sly-is-my-name-loving-is-my-game]

Fuck you thunderbolts headcannons. Cause I have so many and I cannot keep them to myself anymore.

Before we get started, it's important to note that the end cut scene means next to nothing to me. The russo brothers wrote that, so I do not care.

John chews tobacco. Did it for a bit as a kid but quit so he'd be healthy in the army. Once he took the serum and Lemar (Who was a huge influence on John quitting) died he started again because he knew it wouldn't necessarily kill him anymore.

Bucky still smokes on occasion. Not as much as he used to back in the 40s because he's been told how bad it is for him now and also because the taste has changed too much for him.

Yelena actually doesn't like vodka that much, she mainly drinks it because it reminds her of her family.

Alexei can cook in theory. The problem comes in the fact that he can only cook prison food.

Similar story with Bob but instead of prison food it's broke/high food. I'm talking spaghetti noodles with ketchup and hotdogs.

Not all of them are medicated but God they probably should be.

As a group they have a call and response codeword to check how bad they're feeling.

Goes something a little like this.

Call: Light levels?

Bad response: Low

Good response: High

At first, it was just for Bob until Bob used it for someone else, and then it spread to an entire team thing.

Someone has genuinely said something to the effect of "Yeah, but he's our asshole" about John before. Probably Bucky.

Every mission has a situation in which one team member has to reign in another one. At least once, the highest count was 15 times in one mission.

One time, the tower had a group watch of a JFK assassination documentary, and Bucky had to jump in and correct dozens of different mistakes.

Bob is super into Dungeons and Dragons but has never gotten to play. Instead he likes watching/listening to actual play shows.

Whenever someone is looking way too tense Alexei takes them to the training room and helps them punch it out. Via sparing or using left over boxing mits. This works a surprising amount of time

Alexei also has very strong opinions on American boxing.

They have collectively broken. So much furniture. Honestly most of the time it's an accident but still.

John only drinks really really strong coffee, everyone else in the tower puts something in it to offset the taste but it's just like straight jet fuel. This only becomes everyone else's problem because John is always the first person awake enough to make coffee in the morning.

Bob in contrast can't even have the most sugary taste covering coffee because somehow it will still taste bitter to him. No matter whats in it.

Ava is a coffee creamer girly but doesn't add extra sugar. Yelena in contrast doesn't like creamer but does add at least two spoons of sugar to every cup she drinks.

Ava loves pumpkin spice, Bucky also does but not as much and in secret. When Ava found out about this they started going to get coffee just the two of them to gossip.

One time they got lost in the wilderness post mission and while waiting for a pickup were arguing about what they were gonna eat. John pulls out like 10 MRE's. No one knew he had these on him and he claims to always be carrying at least one.

Alpine does live in the tower. Bucky just walks around the tower with Alpine hanging out in his jacket. It took a solid few days for the team to realize that the cat existed.

Alexei is allergic and does not care he will snuggle with the cat anyways.

Ava once got stuck on the couch for two hours with Alpine on her lap before just phasing out underneath them cause she felt guilty about trying to stand up.

Yelena did get a second guinea pig to keep the one she rescued company. Their names are Mak and Cheese.

Mak 100% has superpowers. There's a betting pool on what they are but Mak has not revealed them yet.

Fanny does not live in the tower, and is still staying with Kate Bishop. Yelena just worries she won't have enough time for a more active pet. Because Mak, Cheese and Alpine are all pretty self sufficient.

Ava likes to start games of tag and then phase through multiple walls to get away.

They once had a week long game of tag in which towards the end they were actually on a mission. Game only ended because the person who was 'it' last got injured.

Due to the fact that each of their serums are different the super soldiers are usually guessing what the other ones are like. Non super soldiers think they are the same but they do in fact have minor differences that really only matter to themselves, other super soldiers, and people trying to recreate the serum. The serum seems to be defined by the following things: Strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, and healing factor. (I personally would combine speed, agility and stamina but what do I know) ((Personally heightened senses should also be thrown in the mix but those are whats on the wiki))

As for how the three super soldiers of the Thunderbolts obviously they have all of these categories but: Alexei's serum gives him slightly better durability and healing factor, John's is mostly in speed, agility and stamina, and Bucky's falls more into strength and reflexes. It would be very close in all categories if they somehow were competing but those are the categories I think they would slightly better in. As for senses I think Alexei has the least best and John has the best best. All of them have crazy senses but John is the one who faintly hears heartbeats when standing next to people I fear.

When Clint found out Yelena was living in the old avengers tower he called her to tell her about all the old secret places he and Natasha had. As well as any other secrets that he remembered. Some of them were gone but most of them were still around.

The most popular nickname for John other then just straight up calling him an asshole is "Captain Taco John" or just "Taco John" he thinks Yelena started it but it was actually Alexei.

They've been banned from every axe throwing place on the East Coast. New ones that open on that side of the country get called by competitors warning them in advance.

John and Bob learned that no one else on the team had been to a waffle house before and then demanded they go.

When they finally did go post mission they found out that Bob is banned from most waffle houses in Florida and lower Georgia for reasons he cannot remember.

John is literally the worst liar once you get to know him. Like literally the most obvious tells in the world. No one tells him this though so he still thinks he's a decent liar.

Alexei did sign up to be a mall Santa one time. Yelena ended up being one of the elf helpers.

Yelena and Bucky are tied for most languages spoken on the team, with Ava in third and Bob in last.

Bob is learning how to speak Russian though.

Bucky threatens to shave his head whenever the others are up to crazy shit. Says it'd be faster then having to pull his hair out.

Bucky has a large collection of second hand paperbacks from the bookstore.

The most genuine everyone on the entire team has ever been is when they did secret Santa and everyone actually tried. It wasn't even like a requirement they all independently decided to try.

John talks to Lemar's parents but not his own. I refuse to believe that man had a good relationship with his parents look at him. He's a people pleaser and in the few scenes we get of him in Georgia I believe he doesn't even bring them up let alone go see them.

John has a weekly phone call from Lemar's parents. The others find out when they overhear him talking about them. Though he leaves out a lot of big and scary details as not to worry them. Actual quotes from this phone call "Mama they're all awful awful people." < said with a smile his face and heard through his voice proceeded immediately with "Of course I'm keeping em fed Ma'am they're all so bad at cookin'."

You can pry John Walker with a covered up southern accent from my cold dead hands. That man is from Georgia for petes sake. He tries to keep in understated because people in the military took him less seriously with the accent.

All of the group has a habit of talking with one another's accents which gets so brutal when two of them are Russian, one of them is British, two of them are southern, and the last one is a New Yorker.

Out of all of them the only one who has been able to defuse a bomb is Ava. Yelena is an explosives expert but only at setting them up. This comes up as a problem far more then you would think.

John, Ava, and Yelena are banned from having the remote while watching action movies because they will pause the movie and talk about the weapons/tactics being used for thirty minutes before continuing the movie. Only to do it again 5 minutes later.

Yknow that one episode of Phineas and Ferb where doctor doofinsmirtz is trying desperately to get this doll his daughter wanted when she was a child? Alexei did the same thing. To the point he went off grid for two days and came back just before the team was gonna go looking for him. Showed up covered in blood and bruises holding this pristine little doll out to her.

Yelena treasures that doll. It has special shelf in her bedroom. Though she did tell Alexei that if he ever pulled some shit like that again she'd beat his ass.

They all honestly did not want to get super close to each other at first. But when you live and work together for any significant amount of time you're bound to just start knowing shit about those people that you don't expect to know.

Also every single relationship between all of them was super rocky and unstable for a long time and still kind of are. Lots of things are going unspoken that probably shouldn't be but they're working it out together one thing at a time.

All of them know that the other people on the team are smart but sometimes it's easy to forget just how scarily competent your teammates are when they do weird dumb shit all the time at home.

Bucky is most of the teams emergency contact. Bucky's emergency contact is still Sam.

The first time any of them called the Watchtower home was when Yelena was a little delirious from being injured and it caused the entire rest of the team to freeze for a moment before continuing to get her medical help. After that they all kinda started doing it.

Alexei loves learning new things about pop culture and then trying to tell the others about it like they don't know. This would be more annoying if he wasn't right and most of them they actually did not know about it.

All of them have such wildly inconsistent pain tolerances that they find it hard to tell when one of them is actually injured or not.

Ava is still in contact with Bill Foster who upon hearing about the New Avengers travels to New York to figure out what is going on and if she's ok.

Ava also still has the teddy bear that Bill gave her.

They've given each other the most fucked up parody high school superlatives. John got worst post nightmare reaction, Bucky got most targeted weapon in a fight, Alexei got most likely to be a PR nightmare, Ava got least likely to break something important, Yelena got least likely to derail the mission to fight someone, and Bob got most likely to have the most randomly useful knowledge.

All of them are bad drivers, but the only ones actually authorized to drive are Alexei, Bucky, and John. Yelena always drives like she's in a car chase even when she definitely isn't, Ava never learned how to drive and doesn't want to because she's scared of phasing through the vehicle, and Bob also never learned how to drive properly (he can drive in theory, not as much in practice). As for why the other three are shitty drivers, despite owning a driving business I refuse to believe Alexei knows American driving laws, Bucky is still learning how modern vehicles work (other then motercycles he's got those down), and John drives like every vehicle is a military jeep aka borderline indestructible and very clunky.

The entire team actually hates being called the Avengers. Most of them are hoping Sam wins the copyright case, if not sometimes doing shit to try and help the case. Bucky in particular is trying to separate them from the government.

The relationship between the team and Valentina is very much one of mutual destruction. Both sides have social and physical ammo stashed away for the second the other side turns.

On missions they usually are joking around at least a little bit but the second anyone even might be hurt they all turn into the most serious scary motherfuckers. This also applies to people they work with on occasion, like Kate.

Sometimes the group have complete mind meld moments. Like full on don't even need to say a goddamn word because the other person already knows what you're asking them to do and is on it.

One time they ran into Sam while on a secret mission and he happened to be looking rough at the time. The last two things happened and scared the shit out of him if he's being honest.

One time in an interview someone asked if they would slap one of their teammates for a hundred dollars. Bucky responded that he gets to throw John out of windows for free. Johns only response to this was a shrug.

It's generally agreed upon that Ava is the scariest person on the team. She takes this honor and title very seriously.

Bob is the king of dropping the craziest shit you have ever heard mid conversation and then moving on.

Yelena loves rock climbing, borderline could do it competitively. There's a specific rock climbing gym nearby the tower that she becomes a regular at.

Ava has a label maker but she basically never uses it to organize things. Instead using it to write out short jokes/insults and sticks them to people, walls, doors, and one memorable time the ceiling.

Ava is a Paris Paloma listener. Her favorites are Labour and The Fruits.

One time Bucky used his detached arm like a baseball bat to knock an explosive away from them. The entire rest of the team proceeded to turn to look at him like he was crazy.

Honestly they all own far too many weapons. Like entire stores worth of weapons. They're scattered literally everywhere through the main areas of the tower, their bedrooms, and on their persons. It's mainly an issue because you have no idea if when you open something there's gonna be a fucking knife or a gun in there.

It is considered a big deal(tm) if someone hands you one of their weapons. Even if it's like trading or they just don't like/use it anymore.

John is a competent engineer and could fully fix/reverse the tacoificafion of his shield. For the first few months it a matter of pride on why he doesn't just fix it but after the like third injury because he isn't working with it right they have an intervention and he gets a new one.

There have been multiple arguments that span days at a time over tea. When the topic of any kind of tea comes up John 'what do you mean you've never had sweet tea' Walker and Ava 'Do none of you own a fucking kettle' Starr do have to be separated.

As much as they all work together really well. No one is as ride or die for each other as the 4 from the vault. Do not get it twisted they fight like cats and dogs but they are the only ones allowed to do that with each other.

Bucky is still trying to convince basically the entire team that he did not kill Princess Diana.

All of them collectively truly do not know how to be normal people not a single one of them. It is. Very noticeable.

Bob is one of those guys that has too many hobbies. They worry about him getting bored when he's at the tower alone but really he now just has access to so many things to do so many more hobbies then before so he is keeping his hands busy.

A byproduct of this is that Bob actually gives so many gifts to others. A good percentage of their decor is just stuff Bob has made or found.

He's also trying to get the others into having actual hobbies that aren't things like weapons training and jumping off buildings. It's been semi successful for the most part.

Bob actually isn't all that keen on physical touch, both because he doesn't want to send people into the void and because he just really is not used to it. It takes a while for him to even get used to pats on the back.

All of them have at least been arrested in the states before. They have a bail money fund at this point cause they keep accidentally getting involved in things they should not be involved in.

The reason most people just almost automatically default to calling Bucky Bucky is because he genuinely just looks so awkward and a little uncomfortable when you call him literally anything else. Barnes is ok ish but like. If you call him James he kinda just looks at you until you like feel the need to correct yourself. This is because when he initially started to break through the mind control the first name he'd been called other then the winter soldier in 70 ish years was Bucky.

Physical touch is also a big deal for everyone, mainly cause it has so many different meanings. When Ava touches you its either her reassuring herself that she can be solid or it's checking that the person she's touching is not about to fall apart. When Bucky touches you it's either to reassure the person he's touching that he's there to help or it's him trying to keep them from doing something stupid. When Alexei touches you it's him making sure the person has a pulse by feeling it in whatever limb he's touching or he's trying to get them out of a situation he thinks is bad. Yelena also touches people to feel their pulse, but because of her lack of serum she has to do pulse points, or she's trying to help the person calm down and be reassuring to herself and them. John touches people to thank them without actually thanking them or he's trying to get their attention. Bob doesn't typically initiate touch unless it's to help someone out or to keep track of them and how they're doing.

People like to talk about the codependency between Yelena and Bob and don't get it twisted they are the most guilty and the peak of it but also that entire team is codependent as fuck. They barely function without each other, if one person were to die every one else would die in the process of getting revenge and or afterwards. They all have no sense of chill about each other no matter how much they all like to pretend otherwise.

Alexei actually likes to sketch and draw. He designed all of his tattoos and has no idea that this is something he has in common with the original Captain America.

Marc wonders if Harrow is even believing him, everything he's saying here; While Marc had hoped, even expected the other to do that, as he's a doctor and all of that, he's... suddenly not so sure anymore, for a reason he cannot quite grasp just yet. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the other doesn't prod as much - maybe it has to do with the fact that medication is brought up just like that, without wanting to know more before taking that route.

It finally prompts Marc to look up from that bottle, for a dark gaze to meet a much brighter one that looks straight back at him. Harrow almost appears... expectant, in a way, and Marc doesn't like that, not at all; Something within him shuts its doors immediately, causes thick brows to knit and a mouth to press into a thin line.

"...You don't believe me?" A question, but also a bit of a statement, perhaps. Maybe Marc's wrong with what he feels, with that vibe he's getting from the other there... but with how his chest suddenly feels a bit more heavy than before, a lump forming within his throat, he just cannot ignore that feeling. He swallows, licks his bottom lip, and gives the bottle between his hands a bit of a squeeze.

"---Or is it something else? The whole thing of you just... sitting there, asking me about whether I want to take some pills, just like that? ..Didn't you say yourself, mere moments ago, that Steven's not a bad thing?"

Suddenly starting to feel protective, Marc shifts a bit on his seat, straightens his spine. He blinks once, gaze firm, before he puts the bottle back down onto that desk in front of him, then folds his arms across his chest once more. He's cautious now, a bit wary, incredulous...

"You hear me talk about him, you want to give me pills. I opened up to you about--- about knowing of him, and you want to give me pills. I told you that I've heard the conversation you both had, and you want to give me pills?! ...The things you said to Steven, speaking about me, they sounded a lot more friendly and kind than I've ever expected you to be - hell, Steven even wrote me that letter you asked him to write me, hoping to make us both communicate. And now that I sit here, kicked my own ass to make myself thank you for being so nice to him... --- you want to give me pills? Set me on some kind of medication?!"

Fuck, Marc almost feels betrayed. It's not necessarily about the fact that these pills are, apparently, for depression and anxiety - but rather that he offers them so quickly, as if only having waited for this moment to happen so he could start to use some weird drug on him. No, Marc is not having that, not at all.

Teeth grind together behind closed lips, and Marc huffs out another breath - all of that previous vulnerability and softness gone, replaced by something hard, something hurt, something that regrets having spoken out in the first place. He should've kept Steven a secret, he should've tried to keep him back and away from now on. All he did was to bring them both into some kind of danger here...

"...Who knows, maybe those pills aren't even for the anxiety-bullshit. You think I'm shizophrenic, want me on some sedatives or whatever to keep me calm, take Steven away from me, yeah? Is that it?!" Okay, that one's a bit far-fetched, but... Marc cannot help himself. This is about Steven, after all, and Marc turns into a very feisty thing when someone is messing with that part of him.

Arthur nodded, watching Marc politely. The way he spoke, the way his breath was as he spoke. The way he seemed to not want to meet Arthur’s eyes - it seemed that Marc had a habit of that, when being honest. As if it were harder to look someone dead-on and say the truth, than it was to look at them and lie; he was used to lying, then? Perhaps that was typical, for life in the military. 

It looked like there was guilt, too. Heavy guilt, over something that didn’t seem fair to himself; Arthur didn’t say much to the man over it, instead just allowing him to have it. If he felt a need to hold onto guilt, for now, he could - but Arthur did write a brief note of it, just something to watch for. 

“You were there,” he repeated, with a nod. It wasn’t a question, only a confirmation; saying he accepted it, that Marc wouldn’t have to prove it if he didn’t want to. He practically did, by going into what had happened; Arthur had taken care of Steven, sure. But he would have done that for anyone. 

“I’m grateful that you were listening,” he agreed. “And I’m glad I could be there. That he wasn’t alone — that neither of you were.” Another note, silently written down, just something he found important to take down. He didn’t set the pen down, but did lean back again, looking over Marc. 

He didn’t take offense in Marc choosing not to look at him. In fact, he found it almost meant more; it was a type of trust. A quiet type of trust, but a type of trust all the same - one that Arthur appreciated. 

“You care about him,” he pointed out, carefully. “That makes sense. And your instinct doesn’t seem to be pushing him away - I think that’s protective. And I think that’s a good thing. That’s a very good thing, Marc. You’re a very good man, too.” 

He let his fingers tap for a moment, before leaning in again, folding his hands in front of himself. “I’ve been thinking for a bit,” he offered. “If you’d be willing. We could try putting you on a medication - for you, it would help with things like depression and mood. For Steven, it would help with his anxiety. It wouldn’t do anything too severe to either of you, but it could take the edge off - I think it might help you both, if you’d allow it. Just to try it, just for a bit.” 

He watched Marc for a moment, as if there was something hidden under that question. There was, of course; things rarely came at face value with Arthur, especially in the course of treatment. “Would you like to try that? It’s alright, if you wouldn’t.”

ASTRAL EXPRESS' RESIDENT SLUT

imagine being the resident slut of the astral express. just himeko, march and stelle making you take care of their insatiable sexual needs. they're free to take you anywhere and anytime they'd like. you're at their beck and call and you're more than happy to serve.

stelle is always ecstatic and eager, takes advantage of this situation. she’s not afraid to tell you how horny she is and would love for you to take care of the aching sweetness between her legs. lil raccoon is also bold enough to give you frisky touches in public.

“stelle— what are you—ah!” you whisper between breaths as you hear the sound of your zipper becoming undone, the culprit smirking beside you. her eyes glower with undisguised lust. “i can’t wait anymore. i’ve been wanting to do this all day.” you think you hallucinated a small pool of saliva gathering in the side of her pinkish lips. like an eager dog. she bends down to level her head to yours and gave the shell of your ear a small lick. “you’re the one who said anywhere anytime.” she whispers, her voice pulsing and settling in your core. “someone might catch—nngh—us.” you breath as you feel her palm you through the fabric of your underwear. stelle grabs your hand and guides it to press against your mouth. “try your best to stay quiet then.” stelle answers while her fingers tug the hem of your panties upwards, effectively rubbing the cloth through your wet folds. “or you could scream my name until the whole train knows how im making you feel good.” the taller woman finally couldn’t wait anymore and pushed your panties to the side to make way for her long fingers. “whichever is fine by me, baby.”

march 7th actually took the most time to have the courage and actually sleep with you after this new proposition has been settled. and even more time to get used to it and trust you. but oh is it so worth the wait cuz once she warms up to the whole thing, she’s going to you try out every kink under the sun. unlike stelle, who wants to hump you every second of every day, she only comes to you when all of her buttons are pushed and needs desperate release. but as time passes by she gets addicted to the rush and before she knows she’s as horny for you as stelle.

march stands in front of your door after a series of awry missions. she feels her emotions bubbling up and threatening to combust. she had tried to take care of it by herself numerous times already but nothing ever seems to satisfy her. before she could press her knuckles to the cold hard metal, the door swings open to reveal you. the sight of you in short shorts and a tank top brings her closer to the edge more than all the times she had touch herself combined. “i was wondering when you’re gonna come around,” you smile at her as you step aside to let her in. “uhh, how are we supposed to go about this,” march stammers as her face takes a bright red color. her hesitation and nervousness a stark difference from her usual self. you smile as you close the distance between your bodies. “well, how do you want this to be.” march feels your breath fan her face. and before her mind could come up with excuses she brings her lips to yours. after a beat, she confesses in a hurried hush, "i just want to feel good." please, she begs.

himeko likes to keep up her pride and reputation not just as the navigator but as a respected lady as well. so whenever she initiates something it is always subtle. she'd spout something like her room is much more warmer than yours, you should sleep there. or that she wants you to try a new blend she came up with. as much as she wants you, she wants you to be the one on all fours clawing and begging her to fuck you. and of course, you’d never notice how ready she was to devour you until you’re actually beneath her.

himeko is very confident in how well she knows you. for example, like you can never refuse her which made it easy to invite you share a bath together. she also knows that you cannot stop staring at her naked body. she can barely hide her smirk at your apparent embarrassment. she weaves her body through the water to scoot closer to you and the waves carry the heat from you body to her. “is there something you want to say, darling?” himeko places ghosts her hands over your thigh, your small shivers creating ripples in the water. “stop teasing me, himeko” you mutter through rough breaths, the room felt foggy and hot, all too much heat. “not even a 'please'? i see the other two has been spoiling you a lot.” before you could come to your defense, himeko adds, “no worries, im happy to make you remember how to properly use your words again.”

ALSO! himeko teaching the other two how to please a woman with you as the test subject. she'd spread you in a table and point at your most sensitive spots just to prove a point. she wouldn't let them touch, no, at least not after she's had her fun with you. secretly, himeko likes to show off her experience, she likes the power trip more than she'd like to admit.

march and stelle would use you for ‘practice’. and they’re actually fast learners, its hard not to notice when they’re making you cum faster than last.

himeko would praise them for their good work and let them bathe in their improvement before diving in on you and demonstrating how to please properly. she makes sure you scream much louder and faster.

eventually, it turns into a competition between the three on who can make you cum faster, harder or make you moan louder. they’d pass you around and would make you go for rounds after rounds until you’re milked dry.

himeko spreads your legs wider from behind as your pussy is showcased in front of two curious faces. her long experienced finger glides along the root of your thigh, close yet far to your core. suddenly she pinched your bud in one swift move, you let out a scream of pleasure. “and this is where the magic happens.” “most females require stimulation on the clit to climax and our little pet is no exception,” she lectures calmly as she leans further in to you, her huge soft breasts poking your back. “isn’t that right, darling?” she whispers. stelle's hand flies up in the air like a student in class. “she likes it when i tug on it with my lips!” she exclaims excitedly. despite your whimpers, himeko continues, “before any penetration, make sure that she is properly wet.” the navigator slaps your pussy and a juicy squelching sound echoed through the room. march and stelle salivates at the sight in front of them. “i guess there’s no need to worry about that,” stelle giggles and licks her lips. “when’s gonna be my turn? you keep hogging her to yourself, himeko,” march complains as her hands reach down to rub herself through her shorts. “patience, our lecture has just started.”

various stupid riptide headcanons

chip owns a pair of sunglasses that he thought was really cool, but can't wear them when anyone is around because they instantly get stolen by someone and by the time he gets them back, wearing them is pointless. it's a different person each time

gillion has a low pain tolerance when it comes to small things like piercings and needles. jay had to hold his hand while chip gave him his piercings after he joined the crew

jay isn't afraid of bugs but she really doesn't like them on/around her. chip knows this and whenever they're docked he catches crickets and similar bugs to show her .. and then throw at her

chip has chronic nosebleeds

jay gets emotionally attached to prototypes of her creations, and thus there's a bunch of them laying around because she feels bad taking them apart or throwing them out. gillion has given every single one of them a name

jay invents glow in the dark stars and puts them all over the inside of the captains room and over ollie's area in the kitchen. they stay even after ollie isn't on the ship anymore + his new room had plenty of them

gillion occasionally mixes up underwater movements vs in air movements and will sometimes fucking beef it because he forgets he can't swim in the air

ollie made friendship bracelets for him and old man earl while he was being taught to weave hats and each of the captains had the exact same response despite finding out at separate times; "can you make me one??" (he did)

once when drunk, drey started talking about those little fish that eat the dead cells off your skin and how it would feel great on his feet after all these years, and gillion just stared at him in horror the whole time

chip cannot do a handstand. he constantly tries anyways

gillion can do a surprising amount of acrobatics but whenever he tries to do them in any useful sense, they fail miserably (he can do a sick backflip though)

gillion has markings that emit a low amount of light that will flash in certain patterns to show certain meanings/cues. it took him a few weeks to figure out that jay and chip couldn't read these and weren't ignoring him on purpose. he once mentioned this offhandedly and they spent the rest of the night making a little book of what each one means. jay's favourite is "i love you/i feel safe here" and chip's favourite is "this is exciting".

chip inexplicably knows a few songs that are only in celestial and often finds himself humming them. when he tries to sing them on purpose he gets tongue tied and forgets what comes next, and he can't think of what the words mean

when jay and kira were younger and kira's horn started growing in, they kept roughhousing too much and kira had to put a soft tip on her horn to stop stabbing jay. jay couldn't look at her without laughing for weeks

chip knows how to dance and is actually really good at it but he gets embarrassed about this fact and will often mess up on purpose (fancy footwork ass mf)

gillion loves wildflowers! they remind him of the coral reefs back home in the undersea

chip does all the piercings given on the boat himself and always has. ollie spent weeks trying to convince chip to give him piercings after he heard him say he got his first one around his age

queen stomps whenever she gets upset and frequently is seen tapping their foot. he also frequently jumps around when excited

both gillion and queen get the zoomies

on colder nights, gryffon can be found at the bottom of a cuddle pile in the kitchen. if asked how this started he'll claim ollie cuddled up to him one night and everyone joined, but really it was because the kid shivering and Gryffon pulled him over to warm him up

chip can bake but cannot cook

jay can cook but cannot bake

gillion needs to be supervised in the kitchen at all times (but cooks surprisingly well)

gillion keeps trying to show chip and jay childhood certain games from the undersea but they can't quite seem to get the hang of it. he taught ollie one that doesn't require swimming and ollie said he was going to teach kids back on zero how to play too

gillion is the moon, jay is the sun and chip is the stars. im sorry i don't make the rules

jay snorts when she laughs too hard, chip wheezes and gillion clicks like a dolphin

when they were young teens reuben tried to teach chip how to flirt with a girl he had been crushing on ... it led to the two boys getting their faces smacked together by the girls father

chip has a slight lisp that's gotten better as he's gotten older, but sometimes it's more obvious

primordial (at least, the kind that tritons speak) was invented underwater and sounds very eloquent as opposed to the way it sounds in the air.

chip frequently cuts his own hair when it gets in the way, and only recently allowed the others to trim it when it grew out again

"what the fuck?!" you screamed making him wince slightly, literally the loudest you have ever screamed as you scrambled to your feet and stumbled back.

"and you called me loud—"

"who the fuck— am i losing my mind?" you whisper to yourself as you look off to a distance for a mere second, because all of this— him— it cannot be true. you have to be hallucinating.

but you are not. you finally switch the logical side of your brain after months, you know this is somehow, by some fucked up miracle, real. also he is frowning at a painting of yours while poking at it.

all while still being extremely, naked.

"my nose definitely seems weird there—"

"how the hell are you real?" you snap at him, grabbing hold of a particularly long brush and holding the pointy end towards him. to which he simply gives you a 'are you serious? ' kinda pointed look.

"first of all that is rude to ask—"

"i don't care—"

"second, if you failed to notice, which i know you don't considering you literally stared at it, i am quite literally naked and cold—"

warmth creeps up your neck but you keep your glare resolute. "i asked something. who the hell are you and how are you real?!" you put more weight to your words, appear to be more daunting and fearless than what you actually are.

but he simply stares at you, rather he leans against your desk, in a very intentionally executed position that flexes his muscles all in the right place and quite literally shows off his goods.

your lips twitch in exasperation, cheeks growing hot, before you give up. huffing as you hurry out to grab a throw blanket, run back in and threw it at him right from the edge of the room. he catches it with ease, smiling triumphantly making your cheeks warm yet again. you are still at a lose for words, your mind a mush and a mess, questions upon questions to which the answers make absolute no sense.

"atta girl." he muttered, throwing you a teasing side eye and your eyes widen momentarily. "this isn't sufficient you do know that right?" he raised a brow at you as he wrapped blanket at his waist, his upper body still in full view.

"well im sorry for not being accommodating to an intruder." you scoffed sarcastically, pointy end of the paint brush still held in hand.

"just say you want to stare at my chest—" he said smugly as he not so subtly flexes his biceps and your lips furrow even more into a frown at his outright casual behavior, his ease of flirting— exactly how he did in your dreams.

while it may be a treat to see him in the flesh, your sanity hangs by a thread. you fail to connect the dots, your reality unraveling right in front of you as your manifestation stands there naked.

"i want..." you take a deep breath, but it turns shaky and thankfully the mirth in his eyes drops for a moment, "i want answers."

"how are you.. how are you here? how did you get in?" you make sure your voice is calm, as if in a meeting, but this is far from your daily routine. this isn't exactly the normal reality anymore.

he straightens up and folds his arms, "because of you." he answered vaguely, or maybe it was the answer he knew.

thats when your eyes sweep across the study and you come to an astounding realisation, your sculpture isn't here. your widened eyes flit to his, and he shrugs. he is your sculpture, no more made of marble— no more bearing the imperfections of an artist. he is human, alive from an inanimate thing.

"but that–" you stumble back as your hands lower, "that is not possible. you are not possible."

his eyes flash for a millisecond, but you were too lost in your own thoughts to notice. "you are not real. i made you. you are— fucking hell— you are from my dream!"

his eyes narrow but he keeps his composure, and maybe that further irks you, "i mean how is it possible for a fucking statue to turn real?! and–"

you pause to gather your bearings, your breathing turning rapid, "you know me. you— and that is only possible if you..." you wince as you connect the dots, you sound insane to yourself, "if you're from my dreams. and that makes it all even more bizzare!" your voice raises, accusing yet scared.

he simply stares at you for a moment, his jaw working in restraint before he pushed off the desk and stalks towards you. you immediately raise your hand with the paint brush, glaring at him pointedly. he respects that and nods.

"i know as much as you do." he begins, a throaty laugh escaping his lips which sound a bit hollow, "less than you do actually. because all i know is you and whatever you showed me." he said and his voice turns bitter as the words lash out from his lips, but somehow he maintains his gentle tone.

"like you said, you made me. i don't know anything before that. I don't know anything about—" he waves his hand around, the tension between his brows increases, "this.. world you live in. you created me and now im alive."

he takes another step, small but enough to make the height difference apparent. to tower over you. never had you ever felt so cornered, so out of your wits.

though your mind was still quite panicking, his words did reach you. and if indeed he is your creation, then... he is more lost than you. he is more lonely than you ever were.

"your world is boundless." his voice dropped to a murmur, his eyes no longer jovial, "my world begins and ends with you."

the words struck a chord with you and you realised how messed up you had made your life, and now, his. unknowingly so but you did. technically he is like a baby to this world, he knows only what your mind wanted him to, only what you told him or showed him in your dreams. he knows only what he saw in your mind. he knows the world yet he is a stranger to it.

you gulp as perspiration begins to set on your forehead and he smiles, but it isn't warm or gentle like it was in your dreams. it was conniving, devious— it was trouble.

"so before you think of throwing me out to fend for myself—" he tilted his head as he brought up his index and hooked it beneath your jaw tenderly, "know that im your responsibility. you're stuck with me."

"you wouldn't leave a helpless man, who knows nothing, with nothing, onto the street right? " it was clear, his manipulation, it was clear as day. the way his eyes glinted with fake innocence, masking the mischief was enough to tell you he wouldn't leave even if you told him to. he is showing, what you would call a human nature. in order to fend for himself he would do anything for survival. right now its manipulation, later it could be anything.

what have you done?

he was charming sure, he was gentle and respectful— everything you saw in your dreams. but he was also what you didn't. and that scared you, the unpredictability. you knew him, knew him the best and yet he is a stranger to you. the man of your dreams yet a stranger.

feelings of love were now being crept up by doubt, fear, apprehension— he wasn't the only one in survival mode.

this isn't like in the dreams, though he technically is the man you saw, talked with— you cannot trust him. he isn't just a figment of your imagination anymore, he is a human now.

humans deceive.

"i didn't remember you being an asshole." you murmured in annoyance as your narrowed your eyes at him, his brows rose up in delight.

"i didn't remember asked to be made but here we are aren't we?" he grinned before stepping back and looking around. your eyes followed his and grimaced in embarrassment at the heaps of canvas painted, with him as the sole subject.

"oh you are obsessed with me—"

"shut up." he still cackled under his breath, his eyes flaring up playfully again. "im not."

"so about you." you began as you exhale softly, your head has started to ache from all this, "since you're practically homeless—"

"thanks to you—"

"thanks to me." you repeated, gritting your teeth in annoyance, "you can stay here. I'll clear up my uh— guest room."

that room isn't at all a guest room, it has no bed or furniture except canvases and your supplies lying there.

he stood there with his arms crossed and let out a little 'huh' before tilting his head, "after all we been through— after all we did-" he corrected with a knowing smirk, making your cheeks flame, " you don't trust me enough."

it wasn't a question but a statement, and your hands immediately curled into fists, "well sorry if im not trusting enough of my sculpture, made of marble, came alive. and its the same person from my dreams— who by some miracle remembers everything—" your words turned into a rant, a hysterical laugh leaving your lips, "i don't even trust the world right now, dick, so im sorry if im not gonna trust another man who just spawned into my life with no plausible explanation."

he considered you with narrow eyes, surely he was himself going through his own existential crisis but he held back. if he was irritated or hurt, he didn't show it.

"fair enough." he said, far too casually before strutting out and standing in the middle of the living room with his hands on his hip, his cheshire smile back on his lips.

"so where's my room?"

it took you a second to answer, still too blown away by how he brushed off the topic. "uh— its that one." you pointed left , just beside your room. "but wait its not— it doesn't have a bed. and its not cleaned." you said with a tired sigh as you opened the door and he leaned in, peeking in with his brows raised which immediately furrow into a distasteful frown.

"that is not where im sleeping." he said, quite adamant and you had to sigh, "im not that bad to make you sleep on the floor. you can take my bed for the moment. I'll clean it up and buy a bed."

he must not have even heard anything after you told him to take your bed, his smile blown so wide. "oh thanks!" he hummed, pleased before immediately walking in yours. maybe that was what he actually wanted. sly bastard.

"oh this is nice— oh whats that?" he questioned loudly in amusement as he poked in the open drawers where your undergarments were kept. you snatched the bra he almost touched and shoved it close. "respect other's privacy. rule number one for being a human okay?"

"sure, sweetheart." he winked before looking around, but before he could say anything your phone rang. and thats when you remembered the meeting with your assistant, Kira.

"goddammit." you cursed under your breath and rushed to your phone in the living room, picking it up quick.

"hey—"

"you were supposed to be here half an hour ago. where the hell are you?" she questioned, rathee scolded and you winced. glancing back at dick who was currently looking at himself in the mirror, his eyes unreadable.

he needed you right now, with the guest room needing cleaning up and everything— he needs clothes too.

"uhhhh‐ cough- kira i think im not feeling too well–"

"nope. be here in 20 or else im coming there and dragging you out."

"okay fine!"

you hung up with a sigh, rubbing your heaf with a soft groan. of course she thought you were bailing out because you didn't want to leave your home, and while that could be true, it wasn't the case right now at least.

you can't risk her coming home either.

"dick!" you called out as you walked back in your room, "i have to go. i have a meeting with my assistant."

"kira?"

"yes." you said with narrowed eyes, his attention really is on you at all times, "it'll take some time. I'll come home as fast as i can— oh and I'll also bring you some clothes." you said hurriedly as you went out to grab your purse.

"you know my size? what if it doesn't fit?" he inquired with a raised brow and you immediately caught on, he wanted to come too. but you can't risk him in the open, at least not until you've figured things out.

"you're forgetting that i sculpted you." you said as you walked passed him to the door, "don't leave. at all. if you do, thats your fault. it wont be on my conscience." you warned him firmly, making sure the advice sticks to him.

"aye aye cap." he said dryly and your eyes took a look down his body, he can't really stay in that blanket.

"there's a robe in my room, behind the door. you can wear that for now." if it fits.

you quickly left after that, locking the door while praying he doesn't leave.

it was almost evening by the time you were on your way home, walking on the pavement. unsurprisingly the time away from him did give you some clarity. you rationlised he wouldn't leave, or necessarily make your life harder. he needs to depend on you to survive, he wouldn't piss off the sole person he knows in this world. besides, you want to have some faith in him, that he is more of the man you knew than the stranger you're being cautious of.

you bought him a few pair of jeans and tshirts, shirts... quite a lot, because you couldn't resist the impulse to dress him up.

you shook your head at that, the situation is a fragile and foreign one, for both you and him. you have decided to put all those memories from the dream aside and start new with him, as if you've just became friends. though you doubt it would be that easy, if he would make it that easy.

from outside your apartment its quiet, and your brows furrow as anxiety slipped in. did he run away? you hastily opened the door and paused a bit when you saw its dark. quickly closing the door you venture in, looking around.

"dick? dick where the hell are you? dick—" you steps faltered when you entered your kitchen, eyes widening while your jaw went slack.

cereal box tored up and empty and lying on the counter with bits of it scattered. half your grocery scattered across the counter, all your spices and condiments jumbled up— while the man responsible for the mess himself stood with a proud smile, your lilac robe barely holding itself together around him. he was holding a chips packet, with his mouth full with it.

"what the fuck did you do to my kitchen?" you couldn't even find it in yourself to be mad, you didn't like your kitchen to be messed up (even if you yourself let dishes stay piled up). the amount of anger is somehow overshadowed by genuine disbelief.

"i was hungry."

"clearly."

"your fault you didn't leave any food for me. I don't know how to cook. first day on earth remember?"

he was not at all apologetic. and something told you he knew how to cook.

oh he was going to be trouble.

with odysseus post-epic headcanons

warnings/notes: trauma recovery, ptsd, ody is hurting, survivor’s guilt, angst/comfort themes

a/n: if my future husband is not an exact odysseus replica then i don't want him /jk /srs, art is from @//wolfythewitch

reader is written as female / masterlist

when odysseus first came back to you and telemachus from his travels, you instantly recognized that his voyage had left scars

despite your heartfelt reunion and reassurance that you still loved him and would always love him, odysseus would at times be hesitant with you

he’d glance at your face before taking your hand or would softly ask you if you were “sure you wanted this?” if he was to initiate any form of intimacy 

but honestly, it only takes a couple of times of you reminding him that you love him for him to get over his insecuruites (well most of them but shhh, that’s later)

he spends TONS of time with telemachus when he gets back. playing discus or just walking round the gardens with him. he tries to catch up on everything that he’s missed in his young boy’s life even though that in itself is impossible. ody and tele would bond over training together tons before you’d call them inside for dinner time. he just wants to be a good dad and make it up to telemachus for not being able to be with him during his childhood years y’know 😭 it’s very healing for you to watch the two men you love most in life finally be able to actually talk and laugh together

although odysseus does spend a lot of time with telemachus, he spends even more time with you. he has cancelled meetings because, c’mon, he just got back home, he needs more wife time before he can go back to being all high-and-mighty king of ithaca (he used to do this all the time when you two had just gotten married :')). he’s honestly just so so happy and grateful to be able to be back home in your arms

before troy, before the gods had decided that odysseus’ life was worth interfering with, he would always be touching you. he’d wrap his arms around your waist and place a shameless kiss to your cheek, taking in your pretty giggles with pride. and you’re able to see a bit of that man come back to you piece by piece

but right when you first felt like everything was going to be able to go back to normal, was right when the night terrors started

because of how much trauma and violence odysseus went through (screw you olympians!!!), he still has quite a lot of recovery to do (here comes the psychology dumps)

odysseus gets so many nightmares and you cannot tell me otherwise

they have a wide range. sometimes he sees his men dying to poseidon all over again, sometimes its from the cyclops, sometimes he just sees polites. some nights he’ll see eurylochus’ look of betrayal right before zeus strikes his ship again and again and again. sometimes he sees his mother in the underworld or the infant.. 

the first time he had a nightmare you just didn’t know what to do. were you supposed to wake him up or just sit there until it passed? it was so hard for you to see him toss and turn, seeing his chest rise and fall rapidly and see him struggle to breath. yeah, you ended up waking him up during his first nightmare. which.. he could’ve had a worse reaction soo 🤷 that time you would at least consider it a win. you just had to hold him and comfort him and remind him over and over that he was home and no one was going to hurt him anymore. he was crying and choking while his head was buried into your stomach or neck as you played with his hair and stroked his back. you had hoped that you’d never have to see him like that again but OH BOY that was just the beginning 

the nightmares would get so bad to the point that odysseus for about a week would just refuse to fall asleep. sure he’d lay there in bed with you and snuggle but he refused to close his eyes, unbeknownst to you because you fell asleep so easily in his arms. you felt bad that whole week too because that was probably the best night’s sleep that you had gotten since he came back :((

this is how you came to know more about odysseus’ odyssey (heh, get it? i’ll shut up) he’d wake up panting and sweating so hard that he would just have to get the images out of his head by telling you. he feels so guilty for it. he doesn't want to use you as an outlet to listen to his traumas. but you love him and you’ll gladly listen to him tell you about his travels when the memories get too overwhelming

odysseus would be nervous at first to tell you about his nightmares, being that most of them are literally just flashbacks from his journey. he’d be scared to allow you into the darkest parts of his mind after so much time has passed between you two. he couldn’t bare the image of your beautiful features shifting into something akin to pain at the things that he’s witnessed or done. it would kill him. but he ends up putting his fears aside, so that he can grow closer to you and just get some of his trauma off of his chest

most times when he ends up ranting to you about all the events that he’d experienced when away from home tend to leave you a bit frazzled, but you always stay silent until he’s done speaking and provide comforting words of care and sympathy. it also doesn't always end up being a completely depressing time. often odysseus ends up losing his train of thought with the nightmare and ends up thinking about a rather fond memory of his trip instead, like a memory with his crew, or a funny moment with polites and eurylochus. those times are nice because although you know how much hurt he’s going through you can see odysseus’ lips tilt at recalling a rather fond recollection amidst the bloodshedy nightmare. it warms your heart, seeing that hidden smile on your beloved’s lips

ALSO ALSO, so this idea has been in my head for a bit and someone even animated it so i’mma write it down too 

he has been traumatized from circe and calypso’s advances (especially calypso’s) and they also haunt his nightmares. so there has 100% been times where odysseus has woken up to you and mistaken your morning touches for calypso. it’s so heartbreaking. he’ll instantly recoil at your touch and sleepily just tell you to “stop it”. then he eventually wakes up, probably scared and a bit out of it. he moves to the edge of the bed, keeping you at a distance until he calms down from his daze and he remembers that he’s not on calypso’s island anymore. he’ll proceed to sob and apologize over and over again. you hold him for the whole morning. those nightmares are the hardest for both of you. odysseus wants to be comforted by your touch but the memory of calypso’s advances always tend to come back to him at times when your touch comes off as unexpected to his body. you just feel awful for accidentally triggering him. 

the weird relationship odysseus has with your touch completely aggravates him. he just wants to be held by you, and he hates that his body sometimes just reacts harshly to your touch, whether that be in the form of a flinch or even a panic attack. you remind yourself to not take it personally. he isn’t flinching from you, his body just hasn’t had a decent enough time to be reassured that it won’t be hurt anymore (trauma is stored in the body, kids☝️🤓). you two definitely have long talks about it and navigate how best to approach touch with each other

he battles survivor’s guilt a lot, and it tends to rear its nasty head and hit him whenever he tries to indulge himself in too much quality time with you

the fact that he, the perceived monster that he was was able to be with his amazing wife again unlike the other men he had sacrificed at sea has made him feel restless when around you at times 

he swings back and forth between being joyful, touchy, and loving with you and “don’t come near me i’m so broken and you shouldn’t love me” (bros just like me on my period fr fr) 

there was one specific night where you two were going to sleep in your olive tree bed and he placed himself on the edge of the bed?? like he was hanging half off of it, almost as if he wasn’t deserving of your embrace. he still end up in your arms by the end of the night, (this is a case in which his body is fine with you touching him, obvs) but even then you could tell that he carried a sort of silent guilt when he’d allow your hands to caress his scalp and when your lips would lay soft kisses onto the top of his head. he shivered in your arms that night

he doesn't really talk to you directly about the reasoning for these instances of purposely stepping away from you or telemachus but if you squint and look more into it you probably would be able to connect the dots yourself. he doesn't really know how to explain it to you so, it’s more of an unsaid trauma thing

(dang, i’m just now realizing how depressing these hcs are, hold on a sec–) 

ANYWAYS, odysseus would love going out on walks with you. i could see him holding your hand in his and walking around the palace gardens in silence, just being happy to be back together with you

the STARING also. the STARING. (he is so whipped for you)

he would love doing little domestic things with you. baking, watching you sew, cuddling (whenever his body allows it). i feel like he’d actually really love baking with you in the royal kitchen. he’d be able to spend quality time with you while additionally being able to make something that’s not too overwhelming for him

when odysseus goes back to his more kingly duties, his courtiers and attendants all secretly groan cause they know that that means they’ll have to listen to their king talk about you half of the time again

also.. *ahem* you two are probably going to end up making telemachus a sibling–

aaaand yeah. odysseus has a lot of trauma 😃, but he’s still the man you love and adore. he’s just happy to be back with you and telemachus, and he knows that it will get better with you by his side

footnote: this man is never going on a boat again. sorry if you really like the sea or fishing, it is NOT happening–

Mine all mine!

Writing this for @forbidden-sunlight

I feel like I'm a #swear word, like look at me promising the next fic would be Nagumo's, but here I am for the other characters.

Sakamoto is the im-prepared-for-every-situation guy; he has everything and I mean everything planned out.

He gives you his jacket whenever you feel cold, giving you his gloves or whatever thing he owns, you can have it.

He remembers and notices the little stuff, like how you nagged about the new lipstick you bought and it wasn't good, they scammed you, and he got you a bunch of different ones to try.

Sakamoto gives gifts that make sense, he always restocks your skincare or places new clothing pieces in your wardrobe.

He wants to make the most of his time, he can have a battle any day, maybe leave you any day, so he wants to make stuff worth it.

His love language is gift-giving and acts of service (Obviously he cannot explain his feelings well, what do you expect?)

He's an overthinker, he's always been an overthinker. What if you do not love him anymore? What if you get hurt because he has a bounty on his head?

Sakamoto might seem aloof but you are on his mind 24/7.

He would definitely enjoy quieter dates, so maybe brunches at a restaurant far from the city, or picnics in a secluded corner, even walks around the beach at night or just renting an area out for you.

He doesn't mind it if you have some weird habits/tendencies, nobody is born normal (including him, psycho vibes but we love it) so he just lets it slide.

He isn't a big cuddling guy but must have a hand around your waist while sleeping.

Sakamoto does not stop being romantic after you both have a child, even so, he starts to leave small kisses on your head or hand when you take care of Hana saying things such as "Thank you for being the most wonderful mom ever."

This tiktok comment really pissed me off so I'm gonna go on a tirade LMAO

Blaming South for "letting competition ruin the relationship of family" is such an insanely moronic take. Did you pay attention when you watched the show? Do you actually understand what was going on? Because it doesn't seem like a lot of people do.

A lot of the lore around the Freelancers is given to us through offhanded comments during longer dialog scenes, so sure, a good handful of it could've been missed on a first watch, but if you took even the shortest moment to think about these characters I cannot understand how you'd come to the conclusion "South was a bitch and it was her fault for being mad".

The Director was a manipulator. He was A BAD. PERSON. A BAD PERSON.

North and South were signed onto the project by their parents. The Director saw the opportunity to play psycho-scientist with twins and only gave one of them an AI to see what would come of it. It was an experiment. SOUTH was the experiment.

We get some tidbits here and there from North about what his life with his sister was like before they became Freelancers. 90% of this dialog suggests South has always had an inferiority complex when it comes to being compared to her brother. This has been a life long issue. This was not brought upon by Theta. It was NEVER about Theta.

For her entire life South has felt as though she'll never be as good as North and that mentality is what made her grow to be so cold and snappy. The feeling of inferiority weighing on her for that long ruined her. North was always kind to her, but we've seen this trope before both in fiction and reality.

When the person you continuously get compared to shows you unwavering kindness your brain starts telling you they're being facetious. They're fucking with you. They know they're better than you, they're just being overly warm and understanding to keep that facade up. If they're kind to the person beneath them that just makes them look better.

Even though that was never North's intention, that's clearly how South was taking it. She envied him for so long that it drove a wedge between the two. Again, it was never about the AI. It was never about being a soldier. It was about feeling inferior for your entire life because no matter what you'll always be compared to someone else. North getting Theta instead of South was an intentional decision and that was her breaking point. She is a victim.

Stop villainizing South for "letting jealousy ruin family" because this was never about JEALOUSY. It was about INFERIORITY. She didn't want what North had, she only wanted to stop feeling lesser than him. She wanted to stop being treated like the younger sibling. She thought Project Freelancer was her chance to finally show she was just as good, if not better than her brother, but The Director played right into her insecurity and that downward spiral was what got both her and her brother killed.

South. Is a victim. South is a victim.

Edit: someone reblogged this blaming North. Idk how you misinterpreted his character THAT bad but no, he is not the problem. He doesn't see South as inferior. His problem is that he still sees her as someone he needs to care for. He's not dumbing her down or implying she's not as good as him in a combat/technical sense. This is a brother who can't get it out of his head that he doesn't need to raise his sister anymore. He never implies she CAN'T BE as good as him. He does not at all consider her inferior to him/that he's better than her. Not once does he say anything to her or to anyone about her to imply that. I have no clue where that came from.

"But it didnt bother HIM" yeah. Because from his perspective he only sees Souths personal struggle, not the fact The Director is intentionally manipulating BOTH of them. He sees Souths situation as her struggling with FEELING inferior, not BEING inferior, but the problem is that The Director is INTENTIONALLY PUNISHING AND PICKING ON HER because he is trying to pin the freelancers against each other. CT has an entire scene where she confirmes this to Wash. What did you expect North to do? It was The Directors call on who got an AI. Whats he gonna do? Go tell The Director to give his sister one??? NO???? He supported her until the second he died. He NEVER saw her as inferior to him. The real issue was the fact he still loved her too much to truly let her be her own person. She expresses that exact sentiment of wanting to be "her own person" in Recovery One. Thats not "a superiority complex" from North thats called being family. He cared for her deeply and acknowledged her struggle. He did what he could. Do you really expect him to try to argue with his superior? Are you forgetting this is the military? This is not a safe space for North hate either. Both the twins were victims and deserved better.

I rewatched the saga to see where this take could've come from and if anything that rewatch only further proved my point. I'll make a separate post about that with clips probably

[professional-rat-eater]

Made my bi-annual mistake of redownloading tiktok just to see what’s going on and as always, the mistake was a mistake. You thought people on here were annoying about Armand? This is a sanctuary in comparison. You cannot post about him at all over there without the comments being filled with the worst takes you’ve ever seen. I was in enemy territory the entire time.

It’s always shit like “the comments have forgotten that he killed Claudia” or “I can like Armand while also admitting he has done terrible things” or “Armand Amadeo Arun they’ll never make me like you.

To quote Louis for a second, this is boring. You’re BORING. You are so BORING. Colourless, flavourless, dull. Dull. Dull nights, dull weeks, dull months, dull as fuck.

And I know I’ve posted something about Twitter hate which effectively just says “ stop looking at the hate and it won’t bother you” which is absolutely true and I’m gonna continue to do that but this is not even really a complaint about media literacy anymore. I’m still just so baffled that people have such bland opinions on such an interesting show.

Like what do you mean you don’t like Armand and Claudia equally even though those opinions should contradict each other? What you do mean you don’t love Louis and Lestat? These are the main vamps going forwards. We’ve spent two seasons with them. Buckle up because you’re gonna see so much more of all of them (except maybe Claudia. Thanks Armand 😔)

Especially Armand. I can’t wait for that. It’s undeniably funny how much more Armand there is going to be compared to how many viewers hate him and legitimately believe that the show, the one has been so sympathetic towards him, wants you to hate him too. This show has already begun vilifying his maker and we haven’t even met the man yet. This show wants you to love Armand. He’s got an entire book that we’ve barely scratched the surface of. Season 3 is obviously Lestat mainly but you know who features pretty prominently in that book?

Bad time to be an Armand hater, not that there’s ever a good time. Bad, bad time.

if i see one more person comparing caitlyn and mizu i will be on national news. why? caitlyn kiramman has:

-literally GASSED zaun. no matter who she was targeting with the grey, she very definitely KNEW innocent people would be caught in the crossfire. you cannot control a substance like that when you're releasing it into a city!! idgaf if she was targeting the chem barons, innocent people were ABSOLUTELY affected by it and she knew that!!

-enabled police brutality. i do not care if it was against rioters, she saw the police brutality being committed by the enforcers and did nothing to stop it. did not make a statement, did not report it, she did nothing. being a bystander is just as bad as engaging in the act imo!!

-bearing in mind that in season one her goal was to help zaun; she wanted to take down silco's business so that the people of zaun wouldn't be hurt by it anymore! she wanted to help them, she wanted to free them from the "kingpin who exploits them" and then she did a total 360 and changed her mind. yes, the zaunites were rioting, but quite frankly they had a reason. they are a community that have been PERSISTENTLY persecuted and oppressed by piltover, of course they're gonna riot the moment they have a chance!!!! you'd do it too!!!

-was willing to allow a child to be caught in the crossfire when she was trying to kill jinx. i know she wasn't aiming for isha, im saying she was willing to accept the possibility of isha being hurt if it meant she could get to jinx.

-used the military to enforce the gap between zaun and piltover (she was not solely responsible for this but she had a part in it!!) which does also apply to the police brutality. the fact she's a cop is bad enough!!

-treated vi awfully and never even apologised for it!!! quite literally hit vi with a gun because she was upset about caitlyn trying to kill her sister??? had a relationship with her SUBORDINATE (another reason i hate her, she took advantage of maddie's feelings for her own gain and then just abandoned her) when she and vi hadn't officially split, and just straight up messed with vi's feelings and when the time came she never even thought ''maybe we should have a conversation about our relationship to figure out how we can improve it," and instead allowed vi, who was emotionally vulnerable and in a place of fragility (after her sister literally left her to commit suicide), to initiate sexual activity, which no matter how much vi wanted it or the fact she initiated it, still was caitlyn disregarding the fact that vi was very much not in a good place mentally!!

-she is not a 'complicated' character. she was grieving, yes, but that is an explanation for her actions, not an excuse. no matter WHY she did things, she still did them and still did not apologise or take accountability for any of the things that she did. and yeah, most of the characters didn't apologise directly, but they showed REMORSE. caitlyn simply settled down with vi and moved on like it was nothing.

MIZU ON THE OTHER HAND!!! mizu has killed people, yes, but a majority of the people she killed were awful people or worked for awful people (the thousand claws, any of the guys in fowler's castle, etc) and a lot of the time it was because she or other people around her were in danger!! throughout blue eye samurai we see mizu protecting others she knows are vulnerable; she almost DIED protecting the women at the brothel!!!! she actively hates people in positions of authority and despite being cold and distant towards her loved ones, she respects them!!! she respects swordfather for everything he's done for her and for his work and him as a person, she inwardly respects ringo for his ambition even if he irritates the hell out of her, she respects taigen for his strength and, again, his ambition, and she just... shows basic respect to anyone unless they prove they don't deserve it. she's literally never done anything out of malicious intent ever; she just so happens to do things and also be a grumpy goober, which makes it SEEM like she's being malicious or rude.

mizu would never be like caitlyn, yall just see two blue coded wasian women and say "omg they're the same!!" and it's giving a certain thing... i can't say here on tumblr, it's gonna... trigger some people...

[butchb4it]

pov we’re in an intense makeout sesh and just when things get super hot and heavy and you’re about to take my panties off i roll over and go to bed because it’s 11:30 pm on a saturday night and i cannot stay awake to save my life anymore

[atiny-for-life]

I agree that Mingi is always in on the joke… that said, he did say that the "I cannot englishi" clip makes him uncomfortable and that it was the staff that told him to say something funny (this was right before his hiatus when he had started feeling anxious but the staff kept pushing him into the comedic relief role)

atiny made that line into something huge (+ they made fun and KEEP making fun of his english using it) to the point that he's not comfortable w it anymore, if he ever was to begin with…

anytime I see that clip I cringe thinking about how the fandom makes fun of him for everything he does (yes, he's in on the joke… but he's not a fool, he understands that 99% of the time people laugh AT him, not w him)

This might be my protective Seonghwa bias speaking but people need to leave Mingi alone!! sometimes it feels like they don't even see him as a human but just as a circus animal to point and laugh at (or drool over like he's just a piece of meat)

I think it'd be best not to share that clip, hopefully one day only veteran atiny will remember it but the rest will have forgotten or never know

I personally came into the fandom shortly after he went on hiatus and I never saw anything about him saying he's uncomfortable with the clip, just that it was staged. If you can remember where to find that Vlive though, that'd be really useful so I can clip and spread it!

I 100% agree that some Atiny have taken the bit way too far before, and still do. They don't seem to understand the difference between sharing a lighthearted inside joke and being an asshole bully. But those people can likely not be changed, no matter how often we all tell them to grow a brain and develop some emotional intelligence.

I definitely don't think it's most of the fandom though - far from it. Especially now that a big part of us have been sticking by them for years. But then again... the worst people always shout the loudest so they seem more abundant than they are, unfortunately.

Regarding spreading the clip: when I've mentioned Treasure Film before, I intentionally never included the clip since I never liked it when people make fun of his English, but I realized now that newer Atiny will stumble over it no matter what - Treasure Film is one of the most well known pieces of content from their early days after all - which is why I added the disclaimer about it being staged and not taking the bit too far.

I think with the context, people will know how to view it and won't do anything bad with it, especially in this little corner of the fandom here on Tumblr.

I also definitely get being protective of Mingi! I feel very protective of all of them and I'll call stuff out when I see it because of that, but I also feel a bit reassured these days since they've all grown far more confident in themselves and they're also much, much more outspoken than ever before.

So if someone pulls some shit (be that staff on set, an interviewer, or a "fan"), I think we can trust they'll address it right there and then with their usual poise instead of feeling the need to turn the other cheek like they likely often did in their early days when they still had to be scared of losing their chance at a place in the industry due to their origins being in a small company.

Ultimately, I think the best thing to do for all of us is to be vocal in our appreciation of Mingi (and the other members) and to ignore the shitty "fans" so they don't get any engagement and eventually just disappear back into the ether where they belong~

I hope I could explain myself well here and that my intentions come across right!

hot take i feel like the people “reclaiming” kcs characters arent doing it right if that makes sense - im fully for taking ur comforts for urself!!! but in order to do that u have to actually PRESENT them as ur OWN

instead of going “heres my foster child i rescued from DIDDYCORN!!!!! #anticare #kc fuck off” post them on like… a main blog that doesnt even have sparkle on it & just go “yo heres my new oc #my art”

reclaiming a character from kc means completely seperating them from kc, mentioning her every time u post them will stunt everyones ability to seperate them. especially ur own. not to mention it clogs the tags of actually important shit like the victim support links - not like anyone was sharing those anyway… disappointing honestly

it honestly just proves most ppl dedicated to “le epic SPITE ART!!!” only gaf abt their own self image & not for the people actually affected… its the same reason they throw a fit over the things kc drew on her freaky blog while also actively lurking to see what new things they can “reclaim” when they should be concerned about REPORTING HER FOR PUSHING HER DESIRES ONTO TO REAL PEOPLE AND SHIELDING OTHER PREDATORS

ive only reclaimed doom & thats bc i kin them, and i present my reclaim as her own character whenever i can. that is not doom anymore, that is synthia and she is my self-insert. she cannot be subject to ratc*st because she has no siblings and physically cannot have kids. she is dating livings, but in an oc x canon way, and the “canon” is a scrapped character we were basically forbidden to talk about before the expose.

i am anticare in spirit but i do not at all consider myself a member of the “anticare community” bc theyre driven by spite and ego while im driven by common sense and doing all i can to remind why kc is bad in the first place. i link the ex-ZCP support links every time i post a drawing of the canon characters, you can at least do the same for your reclaims.
