So the stills dropped a few hours ago. I CANT BELIEVE NO ONE NOTICED.

Remember the theory the the BT shippers have. They liked using the invisible string theory involving the old couple from "buck, actually". Their theory was using the old guy whose name was "Thomas". They used it because they thought T*mmy was short for Thomas and because now buck was with T*mmy.

WHY ISNT ELSE ANYONE TALKING ABIUT THIS.

THEIR INVISIBLE STRING BS WITH THE OLD COUPLE... DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. they thought his full name was THOMAS. When IN FACT HIS FULL NAME IS SIMPLY TOMMY.

Sorry it's taken me a bit to get back to this anon. Tbh I don't put a whole lot of stock in anything that part of fandom comes up with really. Mostly because a lot of them talk about B/T already like it's this amazing relationship when nothing on the show has even made it seem like they're officially together.

A lot of B/T stans act like Buddie shippers are delusional that we just see what we want to see and there's nothing in the show pointing towards Buddie. I'm not saying we don't sometimes see the show through Buddie colored glasses but they are way more guilty of that than us. They've concocted this whole narrative for two characters who have barely even spoken much on screen and when they have they really don't seem to get one another much at all.

But regardless I do think it's cool you noticed that about T*mmy's name (you can see his full name on his award plague btw). Even if I don't care about B/T fandom theories I still relish anytime we can poke holes in them, lord knows they go around attacking our headcanons every chance they get.

It also drives me crazy anytime I see them try to connect B/T to that scene with Buck and the old gay couple. In the first place Eddie was on that call with Buck so that already connects Buddie there. Second and more importantly this is where Buck first learns that love isn't something easy it's something you have to build and work at. It's a lesson I think he's still learning. Buck also hasn't realized yet that this love he's been searching for his entire life is one he's been building and working on with Eddie (and Chris) for years. B/T could never even begin to compare especially not with how little substance there even is to this ship at this point. And for that fandom to try and make that connection it just makes me realize they don't get what that scene in 2x08 was even about.

I gotta be honest and say that I was disappointed with the interview with Chris for GQ. I don't want to make it seem like I'm rallying against Chris or have Alba haters after me as if I'm siding with them that she's ruined his life (because please get off the internet and touch grass) but that interview was still disappointing.

Namely, I'm super confused at how stans attacked the interviewer for Esquire for 'painting him in a bad light'...when the new GQ interview literally covers all the same topics and is 3x longer, and Chris did himself no favors as far as his pseudo-personal and professional image goes.

Chris doesn't like to talk about himself and spends the whole interview talking about that anxiety about talking about himself? but he'll read the interviews he gives about how much he hates to talk about himself and how he still doesn't like to do interviews because of the way he comes across?...when interviews are essentially about talking about yourself or investigating your experiences about your life and how they relate to yourself? Check.

His main source of someone vouching for him is his mom? Check.

He talks about Dodger's purity? Check.

He admits to not liking a lot of the work he's done but doesn't talk about his ambition to do better? just leave Hollywood behind and be a carpenter? Check.

How much he likes Boston over L.A.? Check

I hate how harsh this sounds but the last thing this thing needed was him to mention how much he likes karaoke, Disney, and his favorite movie is Legends of the Fall. Like, I don't read interviews for the juiciest gossip or rumors. But for good writing by the journalist and to learn about human stories. And SIR, there was nothing about nothing going on here. As an actor that I really like for his work, it was just....frustrating.

I was about 2/3 through when I just started feeling like DAMN, he is really stuck in a mindset cycle that he has not grown out of in three years, at the very least. At some point, I really did feel like if he feels if it's in his best interests to leave Hollywood, feel free to leave. Because he shows an incapability to a) be proud of the work that he does even if it has mediocre responses like everyone faces and b) really challenge himself and go after projects that are apparently what he enjoys about his career like Snowpiercer, Knives Out, etc. I'm not sure what other objective the interview was supposed to have. And, I'm not putting that result on the writer because you really can only do so much padding and 'digging', or in this case, surface-level reporting if your subject is giving so little.

Since I mentioned Alba before, I have no hate or ill towards her whatsoever. If they're married, good for them. I'm happy that he mentioned Alba versus the alternative route he takes which is to never talk about his significant partners. (It is somewhat side-eyed that when the math is mathing and if you rewind the clock ten years, he would've been 32 and she would've been 16).....No one can say what happens behind the scenes and how he is able to help them through the hateful misogynist scrutiny...but at the same time, the fact that she had to deactivate her account months before him due to the attacks, and he only did it for a social media break does subtly speak wonders about how online culture does not give women the grace to be in a public famous relationship as much as it does a man.

Other actors - with just as rabid fans either continue living their life as best as possible doing what they love (Tom Hiddleston despite the racist attacks against his partner) or at least have come out to stans to stay knock it off (Henry Cavill). Two (if not all) of Chris' girlfriends have been thrown to the wolves online - and one (Jenny) mentioned the stress that they were put under by being in that relationship which is neither of their faults...but he never said anything to protect them - it was just to stay off the radar entirely and keep as quiet as possible. They have the privilege and the means to do so, and it's their choice. If he's gonna take a retirement, that's what retirement is - living a low-key life. But it's also somewhat disconcerting to me that his/their form of escaping trolls and haters is just to hole up in his mansion in Boston, and she gets the brunt of the hate online while he continues to promote his projects, Jinx, do A Starting Point, etc. All of their choices are their own, and their adults to make them. I just hope if she decides to continue with her career, she gets the opportunity to do so if he decides to leave Hollywood behind for a while/forever.

I, like anyone, has been a fan of his and had a crush on him at some point that's worn off. But his inability to grow - emotionally, ambitiously in his career, etc. - at least in the interviews he's been recently and throughout his career - is really making me take a step back as a fan, even though I think I'm as far back as one can get.

here's the thing, girly pop

all buddie shippers have been silent and supportive of the toxicity in their fandom for years. including you. so you're all fucking complicit in what this fandom has begun

and stop pulling that both sides are the same bullshit. only buddie stans sent graphic child rape fics to my inbox. your evidence of "bucktommies just want to take Chris from Eddie and give him to buck" is a completely made up fucking LIE

this is why I don't ship buddie anymore. you can fucking DIE mad about your little clique finally encountering a group who won't back down to their childish bullying. this isn't sudden. this isn't a ship war. this is the environment YOU and YOURS fostered for fucking YEARS. and now you think some meek and mild little "let's all just get along" finger wagging is good enough? fuck that and fuck you. your fandom has run fans of color out of the fandom, has perpetrated homophobic attacks on actual queer men, has told queer men that lesbians and "bisexual" teenage white girls are more qualified to speak on GAY MEN AND THEIR CULTURE, have organized targeted harassment campaigns on every actress to play a love interest for their faves, erased actual queer characters for their straight fave, have declared the Black lesbians a "ship for heteros", have used those same Black lesbians as props for false racism allegations, on and on ad fucking nauseam

but yeah sure jan buddie stans are the real victims because bucktommies aren't sweet and nice and angelic about putting up with being called n*ggers and f*ggots and fetishizers and pedophiles and groomers and hags. we're not nice about fake accounts and lies and hacking attempts and violent, pustulent bigotry. we're the real problem, clearly

idgaf if y'all are suddenly uncomfortable sleeping in the bed you made. y'all should have been calling out this shit from the jump but y'all wanted to sit at the table with Regina george

well bitch here's the fucking bus

This is a pretty good example of what I’m talking about. I didn’t say or have any part in half the stuff in here that I’m being accused of. I’ve never been part of a clique as I’ve always hung out with anyone in the fandom regardless of who they ship. I didn’t say “Bucktommies just want to take Chris from Eddie”, I said people who don’t like Eddie often say shit like that. You read my post and wrote this entire thing so fast I’m not surprised you missed some of the context.

I am very happy to see Buck in a happy and fulfilling relationship with Tommy, even if he’s not my favourite person to ship Buck with. But all you needed to see was “I ship Buddie” to let loose this avalanche of vitriol. If you even glanced at my blog before upending this on me you’d have seen plenty of supportive bucktommy posts I’ve reblogged recently. As I’ve said, he might not be my favourite but I am plenty happy with their onscreen relationship.

The entire point is I AM NOT ON ONE SIDE OR ANOTHER. There shouldn’t even BE sides like this. I do not paint myself solely as a “Buddie shipper” and that’s it because that’s ridiculous, this show is huge and there’s so many wonderful characters and me liking one ship more than another doesn’t mean shit because I am always respectful when it comes to other people’s ships, and shipping is just ONE part of fandom experience. I have never once spewed hate and toxicity at people for liking some of the ships I disliked, because, shockingly, people are allowed to like what they like. I also really fucking hate that this entire show with all its wonderful characters and storylines boils down to only Buck or only Buddie for SO many people.

And for the record I absolutely have spoken out about people being gross and taking Buddie or Buck worship too far. Also about the fetishization, and the sidelining of the amazing canon lesbian POC relationship that we have. I am queer myself and will always be against people tearing down actual queer storylines and characters in favour of their ships. I have posted and reblogged stuff about people being disgusting about Tommy and/or Lou and how they’re making homophobic accusations that are completely inappropriate.

Please in the future, whoever you are, when you read what someone has to say, try to keep in mind that not everyone is trying to attack you or argue with you. Not everyone is even on a “side”, like that’s literally what my post was about. 🤦🏻‍♀️

In honor of 6 years of Infinity War and 5 years of Endgame, it's time....

It's FINALLY time for my back-to-back rewatch. I did some digging and I haven't watched Infinity War since May 2021, and I haven't watched Endgame since DECEMBER 2019. WHAT THE HELL???

So, yeah watch this space!!

Infinity War Rewatch

Gawd, I don't know if the beginning it going to hurt more or less knowing what happens to Loki....

They did Heimdall so dirty idc

MY BABYGIRL 😭😭😭 (OG Loki)

Loki saying "We have a hulk" means so much to meeee 😭

"IF I MIGHT INTERJECT" BITCH YOU MIGHT HAVE LIVED!!!

The fact that Thor's last words to Loki were "You really are the worst, Brother" probably haunted Thor for so long, and that HURTS.

I will say one of the best things to come out of the Loki series is that all the theories we had about Loki faking his death and actually being alive were actually validated! Yes, Sacred Timeline Loki died, but there was a version that tricked Thanos and lived.

Tony said "no more surprises" to Pepper and then he was in space for weeks/months (can't remember exactly) and came back nearly dead - You get why he fucked off for 5 years.

THE STANNER HUG, PEOPLE DIED.

Tony and Cap "we're not on speaking terms" but he apparently carried the flip phone everywhere for two years? 🥲

STAN LEE 😭😭 We miss you sir.

I wonder if Chris Pratt's downfall actually started with Peter Quill screwing up everything in this movie 😭🤣

I will say, I really enjoy that at least the beginning of IW has a lot of comic relief. I feel like Endgame was more serious overall.

Man I can't remember, how did any of the Asgardians survive Thanos' attack?

BEARDED CAP - THE SEXIEST A MAN HAS EVER LOOKED!!

NATASHA ROMANOFF I LOVE YOU!

"There's an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man?" I love you Bruce.

The couple parallels? Stange+Stark and Thor+Quill with battling egos, Quill+Gamora and Wanda+Vision both trying to self-sacrifice with the other not wanting to give them up.

Chris H truly gave such a great performance as heartbroken Thor 🥺

"Does it have a name?" "Stormbreaker." "It's a bit much."

"Kick names, take ass."

The gasp when Red Skull came back!!

Cap says we're going "home" but Sam implies that they haven't been to Wakanda. For Cap, "home" meant Bucky 🥺

"SEMI-STABLE 100 YEAR OLD MAN" Buckkyyy

There's definitely something sweet about Bruce being in the Hulk Buster!

"It'll kill you." "Only if I die!" "Yes, that's what... killing you means...." NEVER NOT FUNNY

I mean, Strombreaker being made out of fucking Groot is pretty badass.

THOR'S ENTRANCE!!! BITCH HE LIVED!!!!

"She's not alone." I don't care if it's cringe, I love a girl power moment!! It shows how far we've come!! There no longer just has to be one girl superhero!!

Thor my golden boy, you were so close 😭😭😭

HERE IT COMES...... I'll never forget the gasps in the theater when everyone started dusting....

And now after watching GOTG3 it's so much worse that Groot goes in front of Rocket 😭

Tony and Nebula being the last survivors was inspired.

Me: What was the post credit scene again? Ohhhh yeahhhh, the Captain Marvel teaser! Of course.

And thats Infinity War! I'll be back tomorrow for Endgame! 🖤🖤

Endgame Rewatch

CLINT I MISSED YOU!!!

Lila could have been the next Hawkeye if she hadn't been dusted 🥲

Tony and Nebula 😭😭😭

Tony working with Nebula to save them mirroring Tony building Iron Man in the cave to save himself 😭

Steve Rodgers: From "language" to "son of a bitch" MY BOY HAS GROWN

GAY JOE RUSSO!!

Don't get me started on bringing back Peggy DON'T GET ME STARTED 😤

And DON'T get me started on the symbolism of Nat's hair!! In each movie, she has perfectly intentional hair. Except now that they've lost their mission, he lets her hair grow out. She can't let go of the blonde. The blonde that reminds her what they're fighting for. Of her failure, but also for the last time she saw everyone. The last time things were normal.

The rat being the savior of the universe!

Dad Tony 😭 I'm kinda surprised Morgan hasn't made another appearance yet. Maybe when she's a bit older...

Time Heist!!!

Remember when I was afraid that them traveling in time would mess up the timeline and make it so Morgan wasn't born? God that would've been rough.

I love that now the kids love Hulk though 🥹 "Dab!" He deserves this!!

Man, Pepper and Tony really love each other so much 🥺 Peper knew Tony might not make it back. But she also knew Tony wouldn't be able to live with himself if he didn't try.

Oh no, how did I forget about Bruce and Rocket going to get Thor? 😭

The Russos were so sick for making Thor's trauma a joke. However I kinda understand why they did it because otherwise it would have been WAY too dark.

The amount of regret Clint must have felt after Nat died and he realized he could have spent the last five years with her and chose not to.

Scott being the only one invested in Thor's story 😭

The elevator scene!!! "Hail Hydra" everyone was GAGGED!!!

There goes my baby girl to meet the love of his life 🥹 (Loki stealing the cube)

Thor's smile when he gets Mjnolnir 🥹 "I'm still worthy." Yes you are ❤️

"Make love, not war!" ✌️

Ugh, the double Nebula thing is really annoying. I guess they had to do it to get Thanos in the mix but ehhh.

THE OG BIG THREE!!! And Thor's transformation with Mjnolnir and Stormbreaker! So badass!

When Strange signals ☝️ to Tony, is he saying Carol was their one chance to win, or was he just telling Tony, this is it?

The fact that Peter basically became an Avenger and then lost Tony in one day 😭

The fact that Chadwick was sick when they were filming these movies kills me 😥

Happy taking care of Morgan 😭😭

I still love that they brought Harley back 🥹

Bucky knew Steve wasn't gonna come back. He knew he was gonna choose Peggy over him 💔

"No, I don't think I will" - I wonder if they knew this line would become a meme hahaha

So, did past Steve and Peggy have kids? This feels like it could be a potential plot point.

MY FAVORITE END CREDITS!! I still tear up every time 🥺 The Original 6 just mean so much to me 😭

Also I noticed for Tom Hiddleston's clip they chose Prince Loki in his golden horns, not villain Loki. That's a nice touch. 💚

And there ends an era. Are there things that annoyed me? Yes, but overall I still feel like it was a solid ending for Tony and Cap (and Natasha but we got the Black Widow movie after).

is sticky compelling enough to watch the Marvel movies for the first time in 2024AD? apologies if this is a hammer meeting hornets nest question lol

I did not forget you I promise! I wanted to answer this after I had shown The Winter Soldier to my boyfriend (who hasn't seen early marvel movies) so I could have evidence, but then it took us a week to get to. I now have a more expert opinion, though. No hornets nests I don't think. Also this is all my opinion no one sue me.

Okay so first of all, there are like 20-something marvel movies and the majority of them are not worth watching unless you have a emotional attachment to someone involved, you're nostalgic, or are researching for fanfiction. I don't know your tastes exactly but I'm not condemning you to hours of movies unless you know for sure they're what you want lol. (No judgement though if they end up being your favorites, to be clear.) I like the Iron Man movies, the first Thor is hilarious, the first Avengers is fun, Guardians of the Galaxy is fun if you can stand watching Chris Pratt, but like. you're fine without all of it. There are better things happening in the world.

I think Steve/Bucky is an awesome ship, and I love their characterization in the early movies. The fanfiction for that ship is better than any other, hands down. One of my favorite poems was written about them. There are full metafictions analyzing fake historical books written in their universe. It's like nothing I've ever seen. Experiencing the MCU has totally been worth it for me, just for that. If you want to explore them and the fic, I would say the bare minimum would be the first two Captain Americas.

The First Avenger (#1) is a backstory for Steve and Bucky and mostly takes place during WW2. You don't have to have watched any other movies, and I think it's quite enjoyable. Steve has a straight romance in it, which did result in a lot of gay shippers sidelining/hating the main female character, which is a shame because she's awesome! Fans need to either agree to disagree but also maybe invite some polyamory into their shipping. Anyway. Awesome intro to them--not gonna win an award, but great soundtrack, great characters, solid story. There's some propaganda (although a lot of it is self-aware and the main characters comment on it?) and there's some cheesy comic book fighting, but honestly I have fun with it.

The Winter Soldier (#2) is (as you probably know) THE Stucky movie. Even saying that is kinda spoiling it, but ah well. Now there are a few movies that happen in between, but I'm gonna say read a Wikipedia summary of the first Avengers (2012) and you're good to go. You just have to know that aliens attacked New York, and that Steve's been hanging out in the future with other superheros. (If you end up wanting to read iconic 2012-13 Avengers fic where they're all a found family, maybe watch Avengers 1 so you can get the vibes. That's a good reason.) TWS is a good ass movie. Genuinely. It's got political thriller vibes and it has the best character dynamics in any Marvel movie--especially for Black Widow/Natasha. Soundtrack is good, fight choreography is at its best, everyone's snarky and tender, Sebastian Stan puts his whole pussy into making puppy dog eyes while shooting people--it's the Stucky thesis statement, and it's required reading for the fanfiction.

The only other movie that is interesting Steve/Bucky-wise is Civil War (#3)--but that one functions more as an Avengers movie, and you would need to watch the preceding movies. It hinges on the fact that Steve would do anything for Bucky, which I enjoy watching, but I can't say it's worth it if you don't care about any of the other characters. Just know that Steve would defy all governments for his boyfriend. That's the thesis.

The thing to know going forward from TWS: it goes downhill, and Steve's character is destroyed. Not right away, there are some good shenanigans, but (spoiler warning) Avengers Endgame is one of the worst things I've ever watched and Steve's ending destroys his character and removes the autonomy from one of their best female characters, as well as spitting in the face of Bucky and their relationship (even platonically it's still a betrayal). If you get into it and want to keep going, I just need you to know this. I need you to know that they're not gonna give you anything better than what you've seen. Their AO3 tag has more than enough for a lifetime. You'll be fine.

As a preacher of the Stucky gospel, I say watch at least two fun movies so you can be witness to one of the greatest ships of this generation. It's only like 4 hours of your life. It'll be educational at the very least.

Okay thank you for asking <3<3<3 Let me know if you end up getting into it! And feel free to ask for fic recs if you end up being interested!

Gotta say, aside from the happiness of Seb getting recognized once again.

My favorite thing to happen today has been the hater’s exposure of their performative activism. When they’re attacking Seb for Pam and Tommy, and in the same breath congratulating Evan Peters for his nom as Jeffrey Dahmer, like come on

And don’t get me wrong Evan deserves his flowers because problematic show aside, he did one hell of a job, and who I believe is Sebastian’s biggest competitor in that category.

But what I’m saying is if we’re gonna attack people for being “morally wrong” let’s not stop at one person and attack everyone the same way, you know?

Anyways let this be another reminder of how awards show do not give a fuck if a 14 year old on Twitter says that Sebastian doesn’t have any range. 😂

Over the past two days, I've gotten a few asks about how Sebastian has been the target of yet more bullying and hate on Twitter lately, and I really don't want to devote too much time, energy or attention to it since that would be playing right into the haters' cards and I'm not about that, but I'll just address the situation generally in this one post to at least have acknowledged it, since I know it's bothering some of you a lot and that makes me sad.

This is a long one, so I'll put most of it under the cut, but if you have sent me a message about any negativity regarding Sebastian or Chris, either recently or in the past, I would really appreciate it if you could take the time to read all of it <3

To start with this kind of double standard behaviour you're describing, anon: I agree completely and it's dumb as shit. Like I've said many times before: while I personally believe it's possible to appreciate an actor's performance separately from the question of whether or not it's a good idea for them to play that role or for that movie or show to be made in the first place, it's understandable and fine if you're not a fan of Pam & Tommy, or of the fact that Sebastian took that part. But a) that's no reason to bully anyone (wow so hypocritical), and b) if that's truly how you feel, then you should be feeling the same way about any actor starring as a less than morally upright character in a biopic (because otherwise, again, wow hypocritical). If you just pick and choose, and decide who can and who can't play those types of roles based on your personal opinion of the actor, then I just can't take you seriously, goodbye.

And then, more generally: I genuinely do not understand these haters. I don't understand why they choose to spend their time focusing on the negative, and on someone they (for some reason) don't like. That is not healthy behaviour. I'll also never understand why the fuck they've chosen to hate Sebastian, of all people (or Chris, for that matter, but I'll focus on Sebastian here). This man who is literally adored by everyone he's ever worked with, and by everyone he knows personally. This guy who started out with nothing and got to where he is now through sheer hard work and determination and without ever trampling anyone on his way up. This man who is humble and unassuming, always kind and supportive of his friends, of people in the industry who are just starting out, of women in the industry, and who consistently gives to charity and puts his money where his mouth is. This man who's had his fair share of awful things happen to him in his life, and who still gets up and keeps going and never compromises on his morals one bit.

I genuinely can't think of any other explanation why anyone would hate Sebastian than either jealousy, or being a bona fide dickhead, or just being so spineless and brainless as to blindly follow the behaviour of someone who is either of the above. I'm not saying you always have to agree with all of his choices, I'm not saying you have to stan him, I'm not even saying you have to like him. But to hate him? And to spend all your time trying to find ways to attack and belittle and bully him? That genuinely is deeply unhealthy behaviour, and most of these people should get themselves some professional help, stat.

I just absolutely can't take them seriously, and like I said above, I really don't want to dwell on their nonsense any more than is absolutely necessary. And I think that's what we all should do, both for our own peace of mind, as well as to deny these haters the attention they're so desperately craving. I do understand that you guys just want more Sebastian content and that's why you spend time in his fandom on Twitter, but on the other hand: this is what always happens on Twitter. Time and time again. It's old hat by now.

It's why I'm not on Twitter, and it's why Sebastian is not on Twitter, so I just can't help but wonder (and I don't mean this in a harsh way, I promise - just as an honest question): if you're a Sebastian fan who is sensitive to negativity regarding your fave, and if you're someone who gets as upset by the kind of nasty behaviour the various anons have described to me in the asks currently sitting in my inbox get, why are you still spending your time on there? Please don't do that to yourself. Ask yourself honestly if it's worth it, and if the answer is no, please just leave the Twitter Standom and/or take measures to properly curate your fandom experience. And if you choose not to do any of that, that's fine and I can't make you do it, but in that case, I would like to ask that you stop coming to me whenever more stuff like this goes down on Twitter, because like I've explained before: there is a reason I'm not on there, and that reason is that I don't want to see, hear or even vaguely know about that kind of nastiness.

And that's not because I don't care about people attacking Sebastian, and it's not because I think ignoring the haters will magically solve the issue. It's just because knowing about all this negativity will only serve to make me feel unhappy and helpless, since there isn't anything I can do about it that will solve the problem. If I knew there was a way I could change the hater's minds, for instance by patiently and kindly explaining to them why their behaviour is wrong, then believe me, I would. If there was a way I could make all the nastiness stop and make Twitter (and fandom as a whole) a place where people only had productive discussions to further worthwhile causes and were kind to each other and appreciated Sebastian (and Chris, and everyone else) for the good person he is, then believe me, I would. But sadly, that's just not how it works. That's just not realistic, so I'd rather not make myself constantly miserable by continuously trying and failing.

I'd rather find more productive ways to make the world a better place, and when it comes to fandom, the only way I know I can make an actual difference is by making a concentrated effort to focus on the positive on my own blog, and (at the risk of sounding like a hippie) by spreading love and joy to counteract the hate. Keep the balance from tipping over into the negative. So that's what I would like to continue doing as much as possible, and that's what I believe all of us should try to do. I hope you guys understand ❤️

Chapter Two Mini Title Card: Yours Truly

Jessica stares down at the bold words scratched on the tiny slip of paper. Her hands begin to tingle and her throat starts to tighten.

Breathe. Get control. Don't let it take hold.

A shaky breath falls from her lips and she squints her eyes shut.

Not here. Anywhere but here. Please, calm down.

She glances at the clock and notes that there are still ten minutes left of class. Jessica rests her forehead on top of her hands and tries to control her breathing.

Angie touches her arm softly making her jump. "Jessy?" She whispers. "You don't look so good. I promise it'll be okay. It's not like you did anything wrong. You didn't know he was gonna be your teacher."

Tears prick the corner of her eyes, "I need to leave. I-I…," her hands begin to shake, "I can't...breathe."

Angie recognizes what's happening and quickly glances at her phone. Two minutes left of class. "Hey, breathe for me, okay? We only have a couple of minutes left and then we can go outside for a minute."

Jessica clenches her fists to try and stop her hands from shaking. "I...can't...he s-said to stay."

Angie looks confused but then notices the piece of paper inside her book. She glances up at Mr. Evans. He's looking at Jessica, clearly concerned at how upset she is. He moves his gaze to her and mouths 'is she okay?' Angie shakes her head no and gives Jessica's hand a squeeze just as the bell rings.

"Okay, class. Go ahead and take both books with you. Tomorrow I'd like a table of contents page stating what war you picked and what topics you plan to cover."

Angie gathers her things and spares a final glance at Jessica. "I'll save you a spot in Math, okay?"

She nods and soon there's no one in the room but her and Chris. Her eyes are squeezed shut, her head buried in her hands as she tries desperately to control her breathing.

Please don't let this happen. Not in front of him. Anyone but him.

Chris feels awful. He didn't mean to make her so anxious, and he sure as hell didn't want her to cry. He isn't sure how he plans to approach this. Never in his eight years of teaching did he think this would happen to him. When he first laid eyes on her in the park he thought she was beautiful. Her striking red curls and hazel eyes captivated him. Sure she's young, okay, really young, but she is technically legal.

He tested the waters a little, flirted with her, and called her pretty. He never expected her to reciprocate, but when she called him handsome, he felt a warmth in his chest. Something he hadn't felt in a long time.

Now she's here, right in front of him, and he has to do something. He can't continue to pursue her. Not when he's her teacher. Chris stands and slowly makes his way to where she's sitting. She's shaking and it only makes him feel worse.

"Jessica? Hey, can we talk?"

She doesn't move. He can hear how fast she's breathing and he sees how white her knuckles are. He knows these symptoms. They're all too familiar for him. He kneels down beside her, knees popping as they bend, and tries to soothe her the best he can.

"Hey, shh… you gotta breathe slower for me, okay? I'm not mad at you, Jessica. You're not in any trouble. I just want to talk to you about our…unique situation. Will you look at me?"

Jessica can hear his voice, but he sounds far away. It's like she's stuck underwater and listening to voices above the surface.

No control. There's no control. Nowhere is safe. You have to leave. Leave! He's just going to scream at you. Just like your Dad always did.

The voice in her head is unrelenting and her heartbeat becomes the only thing she can hear.

Chris realizes he's going to have to change tactics. He gets up and closes his door, thankful that this happens to be his free period, and locks it. He takes off his suit jacket and drapes it over his desk chair before resuming his earlier spot on the floor.

"C'mon, sweetheart. Come here."

The moment he pulls her to the floor and cradles her to his chest, she starts sobbing.

"Shh, it's alright. I've got you, Jessica. Just breathe, okay? Feel the way my chest rises and falls and try to match it for me."

He threads his fingers through her curly locks and rests his lips on the top of her head. She's breathing slower now, her cries slowly becoming little whimpers.

"That's it. There we go. You're doin' so well, sweetheart."

Jessica feels him pull her into his chest and hears him talking to her. It's helping. The voice in her head is being drowned out by his comfort and it's the first time someone is able to pull her out of a panic attack. She grasps his dress shirt tightly between her small fingers and inhales his scent. His heartbeat thumps rhythmically against her temple and soon she can feel her body relax under his touch.

Jessica sniffles and pulls away to look at him. "'M sorry," she rasps. She's ashamed of herself for getting so upset. Her hands sit in her lap and her gaze is fixed on a loose string at the hem of her dress.

Chris lifts her chin with his index finger so she's looking at him. Her eyes are wide, sparkling with unshed tears, and it breaks his heart to see all the pain in them. "Sweetheart, why on Earth are you sorry?" He watches her try and look back down, but he doesn't let her. "It's okay to look at me, Jessica. Just because I'm your teacher and much older than you doesn't make you beneath me. I'm human too. We all are."

"I'm sorry cause I…cause I made you uncomfortable a-and for messing up your shirt...I-I'm just…I'm just sorry, Ch-Mr. Evans." She sees the way he's looking at her. His bluish-green eyes are searching hers, trying to figure her out.

Chris doesn't know why, but he cups her face with his free hand. He knows it's wildly inappropriate, he knows they could possibly be seen, and he knows all of the risks, but all he cares about is making sure she's okay.

"Jessica, you didn't make me uncomfortable. I was more worried about you. I didn't want you to be weirded out having me as a teacher. I love the thought of having you as one of my students and getting to see how deep your passion is for our country's history goes. All of that excites me. As far as my shirt goes," he looks down at the black smudges from her mascara, "I could give a shit less, honestly. It's just a shirt. I'm more concerned about you and your well-being, sweetheart."

"I don't think it's weird," she whispers.

Her eyes dance over the features of his face. They're so close now, only a few inches apart. Ang was right, Chris is something else. She can see the small specs of green scattered across the blue in his eyes, his ridiculously long eyelashes, and his smooth pink lips.

The negligible space between them crackles with a new kind of intensity. Jessica can't take her eyes off Chris. His large hand splays across her back making her skin feel hot. She wets her lips and watches his eyes hone in on the movement of her tongue. God, she would give anything to feel his pillowy, pink lips on hers.

Chris slots his fingers behind Jessica's ear and wipes a stray tear from her cheek. The foreign feeling is back again. The one he had yesterday when she said he was handsome, and it scares him. It's been five years since he felt like this about another person, the last one being his late wife, Amanda.

Alarm bells are going off in his mind, telling him he shouldn't do this, that he should stand them up and send Jessica on her way. His body, on the other hand, acts on its own volition. Chris is drawn to her, like a moth to a flame.

"Jessica," he whispers, "I…I meant what I said yesterday. You're so pretty - no, you're beautiful. You're so damn beautiful, sweetheart," he breathes. "I just… I don't know how to explain it, but I can't deny that I feel something for you."

His lips are so close to hers that he can feel her warm breath on his skin.

"I know the consequences I'd face if we got caught exploring our feelings, but the insane part is, I don't care...and that...that terrifies me."

Chris rubs the pad of his thumb against her cheek gently. "I understand if you don't want to do this. I won't treat you any differently from the other students if you say no, but I have to know, do you…do you wanna see where this goes?"

Jessica's pulse quickens at his confession. He searches her eyes for an answer, and she can see how nervous he is. Chris is absolutely gorgeous, there’s no question about it, but does she want to risk everything just to see if they could make this work? She will have to pretend he's just her teacher when there are others around. Even Ang and Lily couldn't know. Especially Lily since her brother is a teacher here too, but none of that matters. Jessica swallows thickly and lets out a breath.

"Yes."

Her answer is so quiet that Chris almost misses it. He probably would have if he wasn't staring at her mouth right now. That one tiny word lights a flame inside him that's been dormant for so long, and it almost overwhelms him.

"Can I kiss you?"

Chris doesn't want to assume she's ready for anything without asking first. He's putting the ball in her court for everything. Her innocent hazel eyes turn dark with lust and her pupils dilate almost immediately. She nods, and the last shred of his self-control breaks.

Jessica watches Chris as his eyes move over every part of her face. It's like he's trying to memorize her. The heat in her belly returns tenfold, and when he asks to kiss her, she doesn't hesitate. She closes her eyes as he leans in and when his lips brush hers the world seems to stop.

Chris is so gentle with her almost as if she'll break if he's too rough. He moves his mouth against hers slow and sensual, taking his time to savor the moment. Jessica tastes like berry chapstick and salty tears and it intoxicates him. He needs more. It's been forever since he's allowed himself to get close to a woman and he forgot how exhilarating it was.

Jessica parts her lips for him and he slides his tongue against hers, hot and luscious, pulling a moan from her throat. He growls and feels himself getting hard in his slacks. If he doesn't stop now, he's not sure he'll be able to hold himself back much longer. Reluctantly, Chris pulls away and rests his forehead against hers. She's smiling and it makes his heart stutter.

"Wow," she breathes. "That was...wow."

Chris chuckles and swipes his thumb along her bottom lip. "You have no idea, sweetheart." He glances at his watch and sighs. "C'mon, let's get you a pass to Math, yeah? Tom's cool, he won't mind. I'll just write that I had to go over the material with you a little more thoroughly.

Jessica raises an eyebrow, "Tom?"

Chris shakes his head, "Sorry, Mr. Hiddleston. He's a friend of mine and I'm used to calling him, Tom."

Chris takes out a pass and writes a little note before ripping off another piece of scrap paper. He scribbles something quickly and hands it to her. "Here's your pass, and this," he gives her the other one, "is my number. I um…just please don't put me in your phone as Chris. How about handsome? I'll put you in mine as sweetheart whenever you text me. Is that okay?"

Jessica nods, "yeah, that's fine. Thank you...for um...well, for making me feel better and also...I'm happy we're trying this."

Chris softens and presses a kiss to her forehead. "Anytime, sweetheart. I'm happy too. Now, get to class, you're already fifteen minutes late!" He winks and unlocks the door for her. "His room is at the end of the hall on your right."

Chris watches her go for a moment before closing his door again. "Fuck! What did I just agree to?!" He doesn't regret it, but he can't deny the fear he feels. He paces for a moment before pulling his phone from his pocket. He types in his passcode and opens his text conversation with Sebastian.

Chris’s thumbs hover over the keyboard as he thinks of what to say. He sighs and closes his eyes. Sebastian has been his friend for over ten years. He can trust him. He knows he can, but this is big. Chris decides to be vague for now and types a quick message.

Jessica takes a moment to compose herself before opening the door to her Math class. She tries to ignore all the pairs of eyes on her while she hands her pass to Mr. Hiddleston. He smiles warmly and motions for her to sit down. Jessica finds her saved seat behind Lily and next to Ang, and whispers a soft hi to them.

"Alright, let's continue from where we left off. This course will give you all the tools you need to prepare for Calculus, hence the name Pre-Calculus. I will be passing out two things. The first will be your book, and the second will be an assessment worksheet."

Jessica tries to distract her mind and pay attention, but it's hard. All she can think about is the way Chris’s lips felt and the way time seemed to stop when his tongue danced with hers.

She hears Angie make a small noise beside her and glances in her direction. Jessica watches her friend's eyes follow Mr. Hiddleston around the room and grins as she worries her lip between her teeth.

Lily notices too and turns to whisper to Jessica. "I think our bestie over here's got a crush."

The two of them nod in unison and Angie blushes. "Shh! Not so loud! I can't help it, guys. I mean, did you see his eyes? Oh, and his accent...sweet god."

Mr. Hiddleston starts to walk down the row all three of them are seated between and hands each of them a book. He spares a quick glance at Lily and Jessica, but when his baby blues turn to Angie, he freezes. They lock eyes and he swallows hard before setting a book and paper on her desk with a shaky hand.

Jessica smirks at Lily, "looks like Romeo found his Juliet."

The blonde snickers and Angie rolls her eyes playfully. "Yeah, right. Like that beautiful specimen of a man would ever want me."

Jessica frowns and Lily shakes her head. "Seriously, Ang?" Lily whispers. "You're fucking gorgeous!"

Jessica nods, "for real though! Did you see the way he looked at you? I've seen my fair share of romantic movies, and I'll be damned if he didn't look at you like Noah looks at Allie in the Notebook."

Angie blushes, "okay let's save the rest of this talk for after school. You guys can come to my house for dinner if you want."

Jessica shrugs, "I don't see why not. I'll text my Mom and let her know. Lily, you comin'?"

She shakes her head. "As much as I want to, I can't. Seb and I have our weekly movie night. It's the one thing our therapist said for us to do since everything happened with our Dads."

Ang nods and Jessica gives her a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry to hear about that."

"It's alright. He left when I was little, so I don't really have many memories of him. Seb took it the hardest, he was five when his Dad left."

Jessica tilts her head. "Is Seb short for something?"

Lily chuckles. "Yeah, his actual name is Sebastian, and mine is Lilliana. Our Mom likes unique names."

Mr. Hiddleston clears his throat, "Okay, there's about twenty minutes of class left. Please complete the worksheet and bring it to me when you're done."

Angie groans, "Fuck, I hate Math." Lily and Jessica agree and begin working along with the rest of the class.

Angie stares down at the paper and grumbles. "Who even invented this shit anyway? I'd like to give them a swift kick in the ass," she whispers to herself before scribbling her name and date at the top of the page. Her eyes look up to see Mr. Hiddleston with the cap of his pen between his teeth. God, she could stare at him all day. His tall, toned body looks so good in that suit. She's willing to bet money he's got a six-pack. Not to mention those thighs. The man's got legs for days, and his voice is sexy as hell.

His accent.

Dear God, he could read the manual of a fucking fax machine and she'd hang on every word. Ang watches his tongue flick along the side of the pen and bites her lip to hold back a moan. Her mind immediately thinks of all the different ways that tongue could take her apart.

She tears her eyes away and looks back up to meet his curious ones.

Shit! How long has he been watching me watch him?! Play it cool…smile and just write some bullshit on this paper.

She smirks and stares at the first question. Find the equation of a line in a slope. Yeah, fuck that. Suddenly, an idea pops into her head and she chuckles mischievously. Oh, Mr. Hiddleston is in for a real treat when he sees her attempt at this nonsense.

She's one of the last ones to finish and purposely waits to be the last person to hand in the worksheet. Angie approaches his desk and holds out the paper. "Here ya go, Mr. H., I tried my best."

There's a hint of sarcasm in her tone that he instantly picks up on. His eyes flick down to the paper and frowns, "Ms. DiLorenza, could you stay after class, please? I think we should talk about these answers, don't you agree?"

Angie shrugs, "if you say so, Teach."

Tom watches her walk back to her seat and sighs. This one's a real spitfire, he thinks to himself. A few minutes later the bell rings and the other students start filing out of the room.

"Hey, Ang, you comin'? It's lunchtime." Jessica stares at her quizzically while Lily pops her gum.

"I can't guys, Mr. H says he wants to talk to me."

Lily smirks, "uh huh...we'll save ya a seat in the cafeteria."

Jessica winks and follows Lily out of the room leaving just her and the British dreamboat.

"Ms. DiLorenza, would you please come and have a seat?" Mr. Hiddleston nods to a chair he's pulled up next to his desk.

She saunters up and plops down, her wavy hair bouncing with the motion. "What's the damage, Mr. H? How much trouble am I in?"

He looks incredulously at her, "Why would you be in trouble, Angie? I'm here to teach you how to solve these equations, not get angry with you. Although, you could have left out the sarcasm," he grins.

"It's Ang."

Tom tilts his head slightly, "I'm sorry?"

She meets his gaze and licks her lips. "Call me Ang, please."

Tom can feel his heart racing in his chest. A woman with confidence has always been his weakness, and boy, did she have it. He knows he shouldn't, but he can't stop his attraction to Angie from unfurling. Her beauty hit him like a ton of bricks when he was passing out books earlier, and he's been stealing glances at her ever since. Her dark, shiny hair that cascades over her shoulders in loose waves, the way her chocolate brown eyes are looking at him right now, with so much innocence and interest, and those pink, bowtie lips shining from where she wet them just moments ago. If anything, he's the one that's in trouble.

"Y-Yes, of course, Ang it is then." He clears his throat and places his index finger under the first problem. "Alright, so for this first one, it's asking for the equation of a line in both slope-intercept form and general form. Do you know how to break down both formulas?"

Angie shakes her head, "not even the slightest idea, Mr. H."

He stands and motions to the whiteboard. "Come here. I'll break it down for you."

They stand and he grabs a blue marker. "Alright, the standard equation for calculating the slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b. Do you know what each of the letters means?"

Ang looks up into his eyes, "nope." She pops the p. "If you ask me, the alphabet should have stayed in its own lane. As soon as letters were added I was a lost cause. I'm afraid you're probably wasting your time doing this Mr. Hiddleston. I'm never gonna grasp this. I'll always be terrible at math."

Tom knits his eyebrows together. Okay, so maybe she lacks confidence in some areas, but she's still absolutely stunning. He blinks and turns towards her. "Ang, you're selling yourself short. Let me try and tutor you on this, hm? We could meet for a half hour after school say...every Wednesday?" He looks hopeful, maybe a little too hopeful, as he waits for her answer.

She smiles, "sure, Teach. It's a date." Angie's eyes go wide when she realizes what she said.

What the fuck?! Great now he's gonna think you're weird.

"I-I… I didn't mean… shit, that wasn’t…that came out wrong." She looks down at her shoes.

Tom's heart skips. He can see right through her. He knew the moment he caught her staring at him chewing on his pen cap that she felt an attraction to him just as he did her. He just isn't sure if she's on the same level as him.

He doesn't want her to feel humiliated, so he does the first thing he can think of. Two of his long fingers tilt her chin back up so he can see her eyes. "Ang, darling, it's okay. You don't need to worry."

He smiles softly and turns back to the board. "Okay, so here," he draws a vertical line and a horizontal line that meet in the middle, sort of like the letter T, "is the graph we will use to show our slope intercept form. The vertical line represents the y-axis and the horizontal is the x-axis. So, the x and y in the equation are referring to their corresponding axis. The letter m is the slope and the letter b means the y-intercept point. Does that make sense?"

Angie nods, but she's hardly paying attention. She's still processing the fact he called her darling like it was second nature. The way it rolled off of his tongue made her squeeze her thighs together. They're standing so close to one another. His cologne makes her knees weak. The characteristic woody note blends perfectly with the underlying leather and smokey tones. She also picks up on a smidge of a floral accent.

Her eyes move to his wrist, and she takes notice of the simple, yet sleek, silver watch with a black band. She wants to touch it, well really she just wants to touch him, but that's no easy feat right now. Without thinking twice about it, she reaches for his hand and smoothes her small fingers across the face of the watch. It's got the word Tissot near the top with the year 1853 right below it. There are no numbers, just tick marks. Bold silver ones represent the standard one through twelve number sequence and the smaller ones are the minutes in between.

It's only then that she realizes he’s not talking anymore. She looks up, his light eyes searching hers. His mouth is slightly open and it may be the lighting, but it looks like he's blushing.

"I like your watch, Mr. H," she whispers.

Tom is so focused on explaining the formula that he doesn't see Angie reaching for his hand. He's rendered speechless when he feels her soft fingers curl around his palm, and when he looks down at her, he's surprised to find her studying his watch. She's curiously looking it over, holding his hand like it's no big deal, and it's the confidence part of it that makes him forget to breathe.

"Thank you. It uh…Christmas gift from ah…Sebastian."

It takes all of his willpower to keep from pushing her against his desk and kissing her until they need to come up for air. He swallows hard and slowly slips his hand from hers. "Um…w-we should…you need some lunch. Your friends… they… they saved you a seat, right?"

He can't believe this petite woman has made him into this blushing, stuttering mess from her touch alone. No one has ever done this to him before. She is looking at him like he's the most beautiful thing she's ever seen and it makes his heart nearly stop. He isn’t prepared for this, but there’s a part of him that doesn’t want it to go away either.

"Okay, Mr. H. See you tomorrow?"

He nods, "Yeah. Tomorrow."

Note

I really like your page and your honesty and your takes are always really intelligent and interesting. You also don’t cut any Chris any unnecessary slack bc he’s “Chris Evans” and even if it is just business, it’s still shitty. But in your comments on another one of your posts you say you can forgive Ana for blonde bc it was a good career move? I guess I just don’t understand how everyone is so quick to love a woman who has history having no qualms stepping on other womens throats to get to the top? Also (on this I’m not 100% sure) but wasn’t her relationship with Ben Afflack PR, or real but she still used it for exposure? And he’s also a pretty shitty guy too. I know I’m probably going to be attacked bc everyone loves her for some reason, but what Ana did is honestly unforgivable to me and her acting really wasn’t great in that movie either. I’ve seen everyone attack the director, writers and even other actors for blonde, but Ana gets praised for it? And you and everyone also who calls out Chris, rightfully so (and even Sebastian Stan for a more similar situation to Ana’s for when he played Tommy Lee also glorifying abuse, toxic relationships, miscarriage and overall getting rich off of a woman’s trauma. The EXACT same things she did) just say, well I get it with Ana, she was trying to establish herself. Or that it’s harder bc she’s a woman. I’d rather stay a little character actor or be in b-list movies then do that. She’s shitty too and gets consistent passes on it. When everyone makes jokes that they’re watching the movie, the carpet or interviews for her only and not Chris, idk why anyone wants to see her either. They both disgust me now. I realize I might be coming off aggressive towards the end here and I really don’t mean to be, but I’d like someone to make it make sense.

Okay honey I have to be honest here

I don't know enough about Ana to know what you mean right now. I know Blonde received a lot of criticism and personally I couldn't sit through it. I hated how it disrespected Marilyn in such a major way; including the fact it was originally sold as a biopic only to later admit that a lot of scenes were made up because it was based on a part fictional book someone else wrote.

I am not sure what else Ana has done, if you'd be okay with it, could you please elaborate further? I'm just not that into her so I honestly don't know.

I completely understand your point regarding Blonde, however I do think it's a little different to do a controversial movie rather than to surround yourself with bad people in your personal life. Mainly because in a movie you're doing your job and portraying a certain character in a script that was created and everyone knows that's what you're doing, whereas in PR relationships you're pretending to be personally connected, attracted and supportive of a certain person, so when that person has some shitty things come out, that makes you all of those things to that shitty person. That affects you directly personally, not just professionally, and since the purpose of a PR relationship is to convince people it's real, the only thing to actually do is assume it's real and that they have chosen this awful person to be around them. That's a huge huge lack of morals, in my opinion, as your personal self is someone you should be authentic to, and especially if you're trying to sell it to the public.

I have no idea if that makes sense, I am trying to express my thoughts as clearly as possible.

That being said, I still would love to know more about the Ana situation as I honestly am completely unaware of what controversy there is surrounding her, other than Blonde.

I hope you'll come back and respond <3

Lots of love!

"Victory!" Send-Off | Feat. Supreme Thor, Bucky, Aragorn, Superman and More

Saying goodbye is as sexy as it is hard.

Monday | October 7, 2024 | 3:48 p.m.

Dear Journal,

It was hard today, dear journal- so so hard. I didn't want to say goodbye. But I did. I chose to. I said, "yes." For to say no to any man leaving for war against the Enemy is to aid the Enemy.

And I want all of Satan the Deceiver's servants dead.

The saints have suffered enough. The innocents gave cried and wailed for too long.

But I could not let Nick go out the door without kissing him or my Knights. If I don't I begin to shudder and shake.

I don't always kiss all of them, though sometimes I do. I kissed them all on Friday and on Saturday too. But today I was only allowed to kiss a few. I am sick with a terrible infection, so I am weaker than usual. I have to take it easy.

But let's be honest; kissing superheroes like Superman and Thor will never be a low-level activity. They all raise my heartrate.

Hell. We just began listening to The Book of Scandal about Henry Cavill and I when he was the Nathan Grey, the Earl of Lindsey in 1806. Just remembering his waltz makes me dizzy.

Today the Lord had me kiss a handful of Knights goodbye:

Nick (John Connor)

John Krasinski (Jack Ryan)

Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn)

Thomas (Thomas Sharpe, Supreme Loki)

Tom Hiddleston (Loki)

Sebastian Stan (Abraham)

John (Faerie Prince, Final Prophet)

Bucky (Abraham, Supreme Winter Soldier)

Thor (Supreme Thor/Chris Hemsworth)

That's 9 of my Knights, which sounds like a lot until you realize I have 33 Knights total (a holy number that represents Christ).

But I am thankful nonetheless. All of the Knights except Nick are staying here with me as guardians. Satan has begun attacking my land. They are needed here.

Nick is off using his lightning fingers to help Gustaf kill a big ugly nephilim. The rest will be with me, invisible but felt.

And Bucky said he's sending me his real dog tags from World War 2 to help heal and protect me. I can't wait.

In the meantime I will try to rest and heal from this damn infection. It's a wicked pisser. Argh.

Love,

Katherine

And they're like these ham things that are fried and they they taste good and there's a bunch of calories it's skin and he likes eating skin and the guy is too close and he whacked it out of his hand and went over to it and he started eating it and the guy started yelling a little it looks happy he says you're next and the guy stopped and said oh I'm sorry about that and you left and the bear just ate the stuff but really you guys do you know what you're doing and you're just pissing everybody off and people don't like you animals don't like you and you don't care and the max have a long range plan and you don't care about that and they're defeating you and you don't care about that I say it everyday we're tired of your attitude your attitude doesn't change he says it's changed a little and you're going after stuff that he wants you to and that's all he's going to get out of you and me too so I feel a little better you're going to get your ass kicked and you should and you have to go after ship soon because you're fleet is getting wiped out.

The last fleet is not heating up yet the second to last is not and trying to get stuff to it and they're trying to find a way out they have stone ships left it's about 55%, they're about to heat up up to 20% they said tonight and it will take a while and then they will have 35% left and they're probably panic can heat up pretty quick and it will be out sometime tomorrow and tonight there's massive attacks they're pretty big on the pseudo empire so far they're only a couple percentage points out and after a time it's going to be bad I would not yet we don't think that they're going to get very far and that 2% is mostly surface basis and then later on tonight they're going to try to redoubling their effort and probably add 20% and Chris says it's 50% and that would be double and Tommy Allen said right and Stan is talking and our son says you asked for it buddy and Stan says no 100% is doubling and the sun says no 50% is half so shut up it's 100%, then you're at 200% so bja says thank you Stan and that's how it's going. So it's going to be a fight and they're going to increase it somehow and they're trying to get at them to take all their stuff and it's going to be nightmare there's a lot of it so that's going on and also Trump and nuclear bunkers there at only five medium but they're at one large the small and the teeny are pretty much going to be empty tonight those bunches represent 5% and it's not as much but they've been actually going after less a night then we announce there about 33% roughly 25% truth be told it's like 10% because it's just his needy ones but the large they're going after is about 3% and that's pretty big and they're going to beat the s*** out of each other and the big guys will come in after they're pretty much done and they're going to have to fight him with her stuff but who cares there's going to be a lot of fighting tonight because they're going at the large and shows what's in there they're going to defeat the security and start to break in and they'll see it and bja will probably go after a bunch of the large ones

More shortly

Miraculous: Tales of Kick-Ass

requested by a lovely anon 💕

Dave Lizewski x fem!reader (miraculous au)

warnings: cursing.

word count: 1814

a/n: Dave has a kwami!! Cause if we are going with Miraculous au, we are doing it properly.

“I am here again, live ,with New York’s favourite superhero battling against his archnemesis in the background. But do not worry! I just saw Hit Girl arrive at the scene and they seem to have everything under control.” the reporter, Lizzie Blonde, says through the tv in Atomic Comics. You are not sure when all of this has started, when New York turned into a battlefield for superheros and supervillains. New York used to be normal. Alright, scratch that, New York was always one crazy place.

Not that you mind particularly, you were always a fan of superheroes and comics and to see them, in your city? That was beyond exciting. Not to mention your major crush on kick-Ass.

You took a sip from your milkshake and looked around the comic store. Dave should be here by now. Not that you are surprised he is not here. He is always late nowadays. Marty and Todd fanboyed next to you about hit Girl as you kept looking at your phone and the door, waiting for your best friend to give any sign of him.

In the tv the superhero pair just took out the Motherfucker’s minions. You sigh a bit worried. What if Dave got in trouble? What if he is in that part of the city where the fight is going on? It’s only a few blocks away and if he got hurt it would explain why he is not responding to your messages..

You hesitantly stood up and walked outside the shop. You heard a loud crash in the distance. You bit your lip, debating whether you should go and look for Dave or not. You heard a loud cheer coming from outside, the heros probably won. Again.

You finally decided to go and look for Dave, so you started speed walking toward the street you saw in the news. Maybe you will not only find Dave but see Kick-Ass too!

Of course Dave is more important but.. You saw a green figure flash from one of the rooftops. You gasped, Kick-Ass jumped on a building, only a few meters away from you.

The hero seemed to notice you and waved his hand at you.

You almost fainted, but went to grab your phone to take a picture of him but by the time you looked up he was long gone. You looked around confused but quickly remembered why you came. You started running again, when from an alleyway someone ran into you.

“AAA”

“AAAA”

“Oh my god y/n!”

“Dave! What are you doing here?” you grasp your chest, hoping your heart won’t fall out of its place.

“I could ask the same!”

“I was worried about you! So I came looking and..Are you alright?” you carefully touch his cheek where a small cut is, slightly bleeding. The boy slightly brushes your hand away and tries to hide the light pink flash on his cheek.

“I’m fine, I was on my way to Atomic’s when the fight started and I figured I would be safer here.” he lied effortlessly. You nodded.

“I’m glad you are okay.” you say, before remembering what happened a few seconds ago. “Oh my gosh, Dave! I was walking on the street looking for you and you will never believe what happened! Kick-Ass, The Kick-Ass saw me and waved! Ahh! It was so awesome!”

Dave laughed softly, “I bet it was. Let’s go back to Atomic’s, okay?”

You guys spend most of your afternoon there, talking about the fight and the superhero duo.

“..so in conclusion, I love Hit Girl and she is so awesome. But Kick-Ass? Gosh, he is so hot!” you gesture with your hands. Dave clears his throat and lifts his drink to his lips. Marty rolls his eyes at you.

“You can’t even see his face!” he throws his hand in the air. Dave and Todd start laughing.

“Hey, man, leave the girl alone.” Dave says, slightly nudging your side. “But really y/n, Kick-Ass could be a nerd like me, for all you know.”

“That would be some Peter Parker shit.” you say grabbing a french fry. “But, I don’t really care for his looks, like.. The idea of him? You know? Like he is a motherducking hero for Stan Lee's sake!"

" That's kinda.. I don't know. Shallow? Having a crush on someone you don't even know? " Dave says and barely noticeably tucks a small piece of pizza in his pocket. Before you can say anything Todd beats you to it.

"Well that's rich coming from the guy who was practically drooling over Scarlet Witch in The Ultimates."

"That's a completely different thing."

Todd opens his mouth to respond when the harsh sound of the news channel floods the comic shop. You all turn to the tv and see that New York is once again under attack. Dave furrows his eyebrows.

"Twice?" he asks himself. Before he jumps up from the booth you all are sitting at.

"I just uhm… I just remembered I have to rush home to help my dad!"

"Yo dude, what the heck?" yells Todd after your best friend.

"Sorry, guys I have to run!" and with that Dave is out the door, leaving all his friends including you, confused and kinda upset. He finds the first alleyway and soon his kwami flies out of his pocket.

"Dave? What's going on? We never have to fight twice a day." the little kwami, Kai says. His name is not actually Kai but as he is a lost kwami he never learned what his name is so Dave was the one to give him the name Kai.

"I don't know, little dude but we better check it out."

There wasn't anything big, Chris Damico just couldn't take the fact that he lost again and angrily tried to strike at the innocent citizens of New York in hopes of destroying Kick-Ass too. Instead he ended up getting his.. Well getting his ass kicked.

Dave didn't change back just yet, instead he jumped from rooftop to rooftop to get home. It got pretty late so it would be stupid to go back to Atomic Comics as you guys probably left. He felt bad for bailing on you again. He hated leaving you. Even if he could play superhero and save people. The look on your face every time he rushed away to a fight? Ugh, he hates it.

Dave jumps down to an alleyway to transform back when a girl turns into the alley. Wait. It's not just a girl, it's you!

Dave tries to jump behind trash bags to hide but you already saw him.

"Kick-Ass?" he hears your voice. He sighs and comes out of his impromptu hiding spot.

"Haha, guilty as charged."

"Oh my gosh, we met earlier! You waved at me, do you remember? Ah, of course you don't, you meet so many people every day." you would have kept on rambling if it wasn't for Dave. He tried his hardest not to giggle at your fangirling, that he knows oh so well and said.

" I actually do remember you y/-, random citizen! "

Fuck! Dave curses himself. He almost said your name! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

You did seem to hear anything but the fact that your superhero crush remembered you from earlier. You felt your cheeks heating up a bit.

"You.. You do? Gosh, really? That's so awesome, you are like… ahgh you are so awesome."

"You think so?" Kick-Ass asks, smiling. "Well, you seem like a pretty awesome girl, too. What is a pretty, awesome girl like you doing out this late?"

Dave feels weird talking to you like this, cause you don't know he is actually your best friend but… Dave also finds that a bit helpful? He could never compliment you as Dave, not like this. He would end up blushing and dying from embarrassment. But Kick-Ass? He is a cool dude, who has no problem flirting with the ladies.

"Oh, well I was hanging with my friends at Atomic Comics."

"So you like superheros?" he asks, leaning against a wall in a 'cool way'.

"Oh, yeah."you nod, gulping."I love them."

You slowly mingled in conversation. Dave softly flirted with you every once in a while and you always responded with a sweet smile and some nice comeback. Both of you were so in the conversation, you didn't even bother to pay attention to your surroundings. Dave for example, didn't even hear the beeping, the warning that he would transfer back from Kick-Ass to Dave Lizewski. When he realized what was going on it was already too late. His kwami fell tiredly into his hands.

"Oh shit, oh no, oh shit, shit.. Aah." Dave looked around for help, any help but it was worthless. You already saw him transform. You know.

Dave slowly, terrified of your reaction, gazed over to you.

But you just stared at him.

"Look, n/n-"

"This is some Peter Parker shit." you whispered,still starring. But then you snapped out of it. "What the actual fuck, Dave?"

"I know, I know, I am so sorry y/n! I couldn't tell you and fuck! I am so sorry for flirting with you, it's just I could never have the confidence to do that as Dave and- Ah, I just ruined our friendship and I think I should just leave.." he turned around and tried to walk away but you grabbed his hand and pulled him back. You quickly pressed your lips against his. Dave barely had time to react, he froze. Was this really happening? Is this a dream?

" You are a real asshole, Dave. "you say after pulling away." You are lucky I love you. "

"You what?" Dave asks with his eyes wide open. "I thought you had a 'major crush' on Kick-Ass."

"Well, yeah, but I like you better." you say with a small smile. Before Dave can say anything you spot the tired kwami in his hand. "Dave, what the fuck is that?"

"Oh shit." he pulls out a small snack from his pocket and gives it to Kai who starts munching on it immediately. "He is Kai. He is my kwami, he is basically the source of my powers."

"Uhm, hi." you wave at the small creature.

The kwami looks up at you and then at Dave.

"This is wrooong."

"Shut up, little dude." he turns to you, scratching his back with his free hand. "So, uhm can I walk you home… as not your best friend?"

You shake your head with a laugh.

"I want nothing more." you take his hand and you two walk with huge smiles on both of your faces.

Maybe this was an accident, but at the end of the day Kick-Ass defeated his enemy, saved New York twice, but it was Dave Lizewski who ended up getting the girl.

Here's how I imagined Kai, his kwami (i am no digital artist, i know it look horrible 😂😂) :

sorry for the slight rant every now and again I think about the sheer madness of somepeople thinking that Ethan whilst activly being hunted by people wanting to kill him to pull out his therapist license (and 30+ years of experience because being a recent graduate just ain't going to cut it) and chair and convince his potential murderers to talk to him about their 100+ years of trauma like seriously being understanding only goes so far and I doubt anyone thought like this about fucking Lisa Trevor

I feel more sympathy and empathy about Lisa Trevor than I do all the Lords combined and any sympathy/ liking I had for the lords has been well and truly squashed by the extreme fans who want Ethan to be a therapist to people trying to kill him and the woobification of them all (at the demonisation of ethan and mia when I think about). Lisa like the lords was actively trying to hurt Chris and Jill they didn't stop to think about how they could help her because they couldn't she was so far gone at that point etc (seriously there is a achievement for killing Lisa which is simply "put the poor girl out of her misery"

Rant away! And you know what the problem is with the extreme stans? It's not that they confuse "The Lords were Miranda's victims and their behaviour stems from the abuse they underwent because of her" with "They deserved being understood and rescued by Ethan, a random dude who was just trying to save his daughter and they were attacking him for it" because it's their right to think what they want to think about the Lords. It's not even when they vent out on Ethan (and Mia, for some weird reason) cause again, to each their own, if they've connected to the Lords and they want to vent out on a fictional character (even when that character doesn't necessarily deserve it) through fic or whatever, he's still a fictional character and no harm no foul. It's when they act like it's canon!!!11! that Ethan is the worst person ever, or a villain, or even an idiot, for not going like "I understand you mean to kill me; however, I also understand what happened to you is the result of experimentation upon you and decades of abuse by Miranda, so I will not fight you while you actively try to kill me."

Like, I don't know what those people expected Ethan to do. He's Just a Guy, singed and sealed. Even if he was some kind of a therapist or a pacifist or something, idk, it would still be a stretch to imagine him stopping defending himself when they were attacking him, just in hopes of healing their decades-old trauma. Homeboy fought back against his own wife when she initiated attacks on him (without even knowing she had no control over her actions). The wife whom he stayed in the Baker house to save. If he wouldn't pull any punches when Mia, whom again he loved to death, tried to kill him, why the fuck would he ever pull punches from people who knowingly not only kept his daughter away from him, but also wanted to torture him?

Like are we all forgetting how Ethan first met the Lords? Heisenberg stabbed him, chained him and dragged him across the stone floor, then he and Dimitrescu were actually arguing over who gets to torture him, while Donna/Angie and Moreau were watching with excitement. Heisenberg even thanked Miranda (albeit with a deep sarcasm that we only understand after we know the whole story) for letting him drag Ethan into his torture show. Why the fuck would Ethan stop and think "Those people must have some deep-seated trauma that I specifically must resolve, even risk my life to do so!" especially since the one person he was actually responsible for, was in danger?

Like... Ethan was responsible for one (1) person. Rose. Whom the Lords knowingly kept away from him. Prioritizing other people, no matter how in need of saving they might be, over your kid, when said kid also needs saving... sorry to break it to you, but that's child abuse. Prioritizing the people who keep your child in need of help over your child who is in need of help... that toxic beyond all fuck, dude. Get some therapy, I know it's expensive, but it's needed.

And again, it's okay if people just wanna have fun with fiction. But going out into the wild (aka main tags) and seeing people actually demonizing Ethan for not being a toxic, abusive father and not simping for the Lords the way those people do... yikes. Were people mad, after first playing re7, that Ethan killed Eveline? Like, you wanna talk about victims? Look at Eveline, who was born as an experiment herself, and only acted out because the people who experimented on her refused to fulfill her one basic need; love. You could argue that if Ethan had simply showed her care, she might have gone quietly and not fought him the way she did. But again, it's not his fucking responsibility, as tragic as Eveline's case is. (Though in a way I'm glad there aren't as many people demonizing Ethan for that cause that would make me think there are people simping for Eveline and. Uhm.)

Or like you say, Lisa Trevor. As little as I know about the Resident Evil series, I know that in it sometimes infected people are just too far gone and the only kindness you can show them is to put them out of their misery. And again Lisa was, from the beginning to the end, a victim. The wiki itself doesn't even have any figures of her not being a disfigured, not even resembling a human anymore, bioweapon who is also chained down. That alone is creepy and disturbing as all fuck. But fuck her, I guess. She's not hot like Tall Vampire Lady or Daddy Magneto.

Like, this is why in that other post I made, I say "We stan Ethan for prioritizing his daughter and telling Heisenberg to fuck off". Saying yes to Heisenberg (I vehemently refuse to call what Heisenberg did a "deal" or an "offer"; it was outright blackmail) would mean he trusted a stranger, who had all but abused and used him, with his daughter's safety. And again sorry to break it to you, that's not father of the century material, it's not even father of the hour material.

TL; DR, the Lords are actually super interesting characters and they've got so many things to explore and discuss and write fic about. None of those things is that they were victimized by Ethan Winters. Accept you're a simp and understand your perception of Ethan is different than what the game intended us to have (vaild to hate him, invalid to think you're a genius for doing so).

Hi is the Omar-Edvin PR anon. Please know this not an attack and I want and adore Omar- Edvin friendship to exist as much as the next person but I also think we need to be critical of it is potrayed too. I agree they seem to care about each other and genuinely like each other, no denying that. However, after they realised how much us fans love it, I am left to question their each interaction as something genuine or done to pander to the fans (to certain extent) because they know we love it. Especially now since they have blown up and have a second season - they NEED to show they have a good rapport because it sells the show too.

As for the Hillershka Choir thing, I feel Netflix placed Edvin specifically seperate from rest of the cast members ( you can see in the video they are all on sidelines as Omar walks in and does his little wave) before his performance that they could capture the iconic hug as promo material. Very tiny example of how such things are orchestrated for consumption.

For them being friends with each others friends. Well, Joel ( Omar's best friend) knew Edvin from before. They have liked and commented on each others posts from 2018 and I think Wilma ( Edvin's best friend) was already friends with Hugo ( another of Omar's friends) so it would be easy mix if you have a few common friends. As well Felicia who was on YR too.

They do seem to have chemistry but that wouldn't depend on their offscreen relationship. Sara (IC) talked about how easy it is if co stars have chemistry but she emphasis that as professionals their job is make it happen on screen if it doesn't exist. We do know a lot of examples of actors who had great onscreen chemistry but didn't really like each other that well off screen.

Anyway, we can speculate only the both of them know the truth and I hope they are good friends and remain so cause their interactions are comforting and make me happy. But I also want to make sure, that we as Fandom don't demand it ( as Twitter/insta stans do) so much so that they have to pander or put every time they are together because I feel their friendship will not remain authentic or have space to grow deeper if the Fandom attitude continues.

I don't know if I explained it properly but thank you for reading this.

of course i understand, thank you for sharing! i agree with you on that extent - that they definitely are close and genuine but it is beneficial for promotion to show their friendship. and that some of it done for the benefit of promotion. ok so this got so long im sorry, i'll put the rest of my response under read more ...

i don't think we need to question every interaction though - even if they've been told to play it up for pr, that doesn't necessarily mean the interaction is not genuine? i mean it's not like netflix told edvin hey find an art piece that looks like omar at the art gallery in berlin and take a picture? they still don't tell them exactly what to post or say you know. because they are close friends, their interactions can still be genuine even if encouraged for pr.

oh 100%, i agree with you about the Hillerska choir thing. I mean that was obviously professionally filmed for the audience. ok im gonna embarrass myself here and say i didn't even notice the other cast members even though i've watched that performance multiple times. i do still think edvin was very genuinely excited about the performance though. also omar has shared his unreleased songs with edvin :')

oh thats so random how edvin knew joel from before and wilma knew hugo? do you have any more info about that? from what i knew i thought they didn't really have common circles, yk since omar was always in the music world and edvin in the acting world? I don't think that edvin and joel were close though - otherwise edvin and omar would've known each other before YR?

alsoooo there is nurbo and edvin - they both comment on each other's posts - what benefit for PR is it for omar's random friend (srry nurbo 😅) to comment on edvin's photos?

i get your POV on chemistry, but i still think that their chemistry is part of what made wilhelm x simon's chemistry come across so special. like Sara said - they can still make it happen on screen, but i don't think it would have been as special. i feel the same way about kurt and blaine on glee - they wouldn't have come across so well if chris colfer and darren criss didn't have wonderful chemistry together.

i love your last point so much! i think as a fandom, as much as we enjoy and love their friendship, we shouldn't put pressure and expectations on it, or idealise it too much. people are always talking about how it's not right to ship them because it could ruin their friendship, but we don't seem to realise that being overly involved in their platonic relationship could also potentially be harmful...

thank you for your message! <3
