con artist sister enjoyers rise up !!!!!!!

[agalychnisspranneusroseus]

No you don't understand, Anne and Marcy third-wheeling Sasha during the dinner episode (and Sasha third-wheeling herself during battle of the bands) is so important to me. Anne and Marcy have come so far having left Sasha behind. They're happy and confident and strong and closer than ever, all because they were finally free. Because Sasha wasn't there to stunt their growth. Despite how much they love Sasha and how much they don't want to admit the distance helped them, it's true: Anne and Marcy were both victims of a toxic friend and they're learning to move on together. Ik it sounds like I hate Sasha because whenever I write about her I make her out to be a massive piece of shit but that's because... she kinda was! And I love her for that! I love these three, I love their story and their drama and toxicity (I was soooo happy when it was revealed Marcy wasn't as great as she initially seemed like - yes! The CONFLICT is CONFLICTING). Like yes marcanne is my obsession, I have marcanne brain worms, but I think one of the reasons marcanne works so well is because of Sasha. Their past, present and future with her have such a huge impact in Anne and Marcy's relationship with each other and with themselves. You can't separate these three and I love it, how easy it is to ship two of them without making it weird by leaving the third one behind (ironically, Sasha the Character is included by leaving Sasha the Person behind).

Marcanne to me is about two childhood friends living in a toxic situation healing together after leaving, only able to fall in love now that they are free and more comfortable with themselves and each other. They couldn't fully connect with each other before - not really. Anne didn't see the importance of listening to what Marcy had to say nor did she take it too seriously, and Marcy was simply not in contact with real people in the real world at all. None of this was Sasha's fault entirely, but she did third-wheel Marcy and she was possesive with Anne and was just a generally terrible influence on her, while reminding Marcy that, well, she didn't really matter all that much to anyone. Removing Sasha from the equation is not enough but it's a necessary step towards knowing each other better and the fact that they so easily became closer than ever just shows their eagerness to be together for real this time. Marcy's increased confidence and Anne's newfound empathy and admiration for her friend wouldn't have been possible with Sasha's domineering influence present. If they were to fall in love, it'd be because Sasha wasn't there to stop it.

I imagine that, once she finds out, she'd be furious, but mostly just devastated. Her friends only found love once she was gone. As if they think they'll be better off without her.

An incomplete list of TMA fics I adore

-beacuse of this ask

(If you liked the fics I previously recommended/made fanart for, I think you'll gonna like these as well, but you know, read the tags, know what you are going into)

Yesterday is Here by CirrusGrey @cirrus-grey

Time Travel Fix-it! Slow burn! So good! So much sass from future!Jon- I doubt I have to introduce anyone this amazing author, but if you somehow missed them till now, this is your time! I highly recommend all of their other fics as well, for example one of a more recent one, The Stranger I Know Best is also a lovely read.

enthralling by Prim_the_Amazing @primtheamazing

Vampire!Martin!! I have no words of how much I love this concept, this story, everything about this. I think I'm going to repeat myself through this list, but I also recommend everything else they've written!

to fill... my heart with music? by godshaper @godshaper so their Martin and Jon design are different from mine, also they made a way better art for this- but still, I wanted to include this really good fic in this list.

Do It All Anew by inkfingers_mcgee or @crit20art

You know the feeling when you read a book that makes you cry, and after that you recommend it to your friend? Well- there is no reason I mentioned this, I'm just so normal about this fic. Or any other fic from inkfingers_mcgee... like Strange Manner of what I made another fanart way back. Also, check out their art!

Anyway, here is Aamal- she is not going to cause emotional damage.

And they were sidekicks (oh my god, they were sidekicks) by arthureameslove @arthureameslove

A lighthearted series where Jon and Martin are sidekicks of supervillains- it's just a really fun fic, also recommend everyting from this author - I previously draw fanart here for an other fic of theirs Like a Lighthouse, Call Me Home

neither sad, nor sick, nor merry, nor well by saintbleeding @saintbleeding

To quote the aurthour: "Post-divorce Jon and Martin in a wedding-based romcom" It's such a comfort read, also has a Tim/Sasha wedding, and lots of cameos! I realised most of these authors I made fanarts for before- like this one for some kind of miraculous bind, this one is oneshot and a bit more serious in tone.

Give Me the Words by rakel @rakel-on-ao3

"Jon and Martin try to make the most of a bad situation in the Scottish Highlands. The situation is worse than they realised." You know that one post about wanting to write PWP, but it keeps turning into character study? Well, this one comes to my mind each time I see that.

i wanna find a home (i wanna share it with you) by heartshapedguy @transgenderboobs

So what would have happened if instead of the cot (tm), Jon offered Martin his own flat to stay? There is no way it's going to change their relationship, right? Such a good read, if you want some fluff, I highly recommend it!

Lucky Stars by magnetarmadda @magnetarmadda

Martin has a lovely family (except his mother) but still, he needs a fake boyfriend, and Jon comes to the rescue. It's one of the first fics I remember reading after I finished the series. It is such a comfort read of mine~

(+enjoy a rare tall Jon from me)

There are so many more fics that also deserve the spotlight, these are just the ones I read multiple times and/or didn't made fanarts for before. If you find something here you like, give them some love! Kudos and comments! They deserve it. (Also, just an extra disclamier some of these are PWP or rated T- just mind the tags)

I tried to link and tag everything, I hope it works.

Beg & Call || N.Romanoff

Natasha Romanoff x AFAB reader

Summary- y/n and Natasha are togeter in Russia on a mission yet, Natasha take interest in making her yours.

Warning- Smut‼️ dom!natasha x Sub!reader strap-on , vibrator, fingers, gaging, a bit of boundge (very little), pet names, pet names (and the name slut) , ass smacking. Overstimulation

Psa- I am a Russian speaker, so my simplifications might not be the easiest to translate over. I'll do my best to include meaning/definition in the writing.

My Master list

--------

Agent y/n, reporting in Saint Petersburg. Day 81 of mission BW.

Y/n had been working beside the amazing black widow for a few months now, yet that strong red head was like an addiction for y/n drawing them in like a fly caught in a spiderweb.

Tonight wasn't going to be the end of this mission but it would be a breakthrough, tonight Natasha and y/n were to attend a party like event which would not only have hydra members attending, but one of the main leaders of the organization would be attending giving us the opportunity to get the Intel they needed to arrest or take down the agency.

Walking out of the bathroom from the safe house y/n and Natasha was staying at, you watched as Natasha was now dressed in a beautiful black cocktail dress, her beautiful, red hair was hidden behind a wig to keep her from being recognized in what she could call her "hometown"

You were dressed nice as well, in a beautiful cocktail dress following the dressing norms of the event and Russian stereotypes. You watched as Natasha pulled a beautiful fur jacket onto herself before handing you some accessories, Natasha kept you on your toes her sly attitude yet charming personality always kept you feeling butterflies inside your chest.

"You coming darling" Natasha asked y/n heading for the door already causing you to play catch-up, stumbling over yourself to keep up with the Russian spy.

On your way to the event Natasha gave you quick remarks as reminders, to help you perfect your Russian, yet you also knew other than basic Smalltalk you had no intentions of speaking anybody.

Upon arrival to the event you win, along with the mission planned as told, placing the earpiece into your ear and walking and confidently memorizing your backstory. On the other hand, to the famous black widow this was child's play, so she decided to spice up the mission for herself, spending the night teasing you, Natasha was more than aware of the little crush you had on her, and honestly she was ready to use a to her advantage, and let's be honest y/n would look so pretty under her.

After mingling for some time, the man that you were here to gain information on just so happened to approach you.

"привет, ты здесь впервые? как тебя зовут?" (hello, are you new around here? What's your name?) he asked quickly with a sly smirk on his face, you looked him in the eye holding yourself with confidence before responding.

"я тут с другом я Саша" (Im here with a friend, I'm Sasha) y/n played off the questions with a hold of their identity quickly, using a common enough name to blend in. The conversation was going fine, until you felt a hand riding down on your lower back, turning around only to be meant with the sharp features of Natasha Romanoff, she was moving her hand down, lower while pushing herself in the conversation covering up for your Russian, you were a very well trained spy, and could keep a straight face, but the feelings inside you were bubbling.

Going along with your job, you originally thought Natasha was just playing the part of your "friend" but over time tonight she's been all over you, yet of course only you would notice, the black widow never blew her cover. Heading away from the crowd you found a door which specifically read "Не входить" (do not enter) hoping for some Intel you pulled a pin from your nicely done hair, and use the lock pick tool that was built into your bracelet to break into the room being met with an entire lab, a huge score for this mission you were quick to put flash drives where are you could to extract what you can in the time you have.

Rushing out of the room with the Intel you know held, you went to find Natasha to tell her it was safe to leave, making your way to the exit noticing the fake taxi waiting for you guys knowing it was safe to speak in the vehicle, as the driver was a shield agent.

Setting in the backseat you tried to fill Natasha in whom was sitting beside you but her hand slowly riding up on your thigh was mildly distracting, yet you want more so badly. Hoping to get back to the safe house quickly so you could make space between yourselves in hopes to pull yourself together, and be professional.

When arriving to the safe house as the two of you entered the safe house, Natasha pushed y/n's body up against the door as it shut going straight for the kiss, Natasha held that kiss till you both couldn't breathe, before pulling you to the bedroom.

"You were so good today? Being such a good spy hmm?" Natasha teased you with the praise, as she stripped herself from her dress revealing a strap she had hidden under tight dress, the size was shocking, y/n wondered how she could even hide that.You realized right then and there you were hers to fuck, hers to make dumb, you were at Natasha's beg and call.

"Look at you baby already so dumb for my cock?" Natasha comment made you moan softly causing her to chuckle

Natasha walked closer to you, grabbing your jaw with her long fingers holding you in a tight hold "You are okay with this right y/n"

Your rapidly nodded in response "yes, yes please" you didn't realize you were horny enough to beg, but you needed her.

"Strip." That was all y/n needed to strip away of all clothing.

"Aww so pretty for my детка." (Baby) Natasha was now hovering over you, pinning you to the bed, before reaching around to get a soft silky rope to tie your hands above you head, now limiting your senses as Natasha started to kiss you, no need to fight for dominance she already was in control, holding the deep kiss for some time before moving down your body, going for your neck before your chest. Drawing nice moans form your mouth was like music to the famous black widows ears.

She reached down running her single pointer finger threw your folds collecting your arousal

"Princessa you are dripping" Natasha teased before shoving her fingers into your mouth, pushing back cause you to gag a bit giving herself satisfaction in your gags

"You're so pretty for me, you want me to fuck you baby. Beg" Natasha pulled her fingers from your mouth moving the now wet fingers to your clit rubbing soft and slowly prompting you to beg her.

"Shit- Natalia please fuck me, please OH FU-" before y/n could finish as Natasha heard her given name she pushed her cock in quickly now feeling the need to fuck the person lying below her. Starting off at a quick pace not giving y/n much time to adjust, yet the pain would be pleaser full soon

"God I could fuck you for hours, days honey." Natasha grunted out pulling high pitch moans from your throat. She felt your tights try and close around her, as she was getting ready to rip your first orgasm from your body. With a scream you could hold it as you let go around her cock.

Natasha didn't give you much time to recover as she quickly flipped y/n over pushing you ass up in the air getting ready to take y/n from the back

"Mmmm what a good slut you are for me y/n I think we could go again, you can do that for me right darling" Natasha spoke down to you as her cock still was slightly inside your pussy, your hand still restricted above your head, and your face now being pushed into the bed Natasha have you a signal if it got to much, so she could stop.

She felt she gave you enough time to calm down she reached over to grab a vibrator turning it on to hold it onto your clit whole re-entering your pussy again bottoming out real fast. Pounding your cum right back inside you as she pressed the vibrator harder on y/n's clit

Y/n's legs started to shake leading Natasha to slap y/n's ass harshly making them Yelp.

"Come on baby, cum for me" Natasha encourage as y/n was a moaning mess reaching their peak and Natasha was pushing them over as she railed y/n.

Y/n came harshly shaking under Natasha, but the black widow wasn't done, she pulled the vibrator away letting it fall but not once she she stop railing y/n's cunt.

"T-to much nat..." y/n whined

"Come on baby one more" Natasha pushed getting herself off as she worked y/n into overstimulation determined to pull one more orgasm from them. Y/n was trembling as nat slapped her ass a few more times as y/n came so hard with a scream around Natasha's cock she collapsed into the bed, Natasha held her close yet she didn't remove the cock from their pussy. Holding y/n in their arms letting y/n whine but also relax.

"Such a good little slut for me, next time I won't be so easy on you" Natasha whispered into y/n's ear

WOW I WROTE THAT, DAMN anyway enjoy you kinky bitches

[jayietheriverwarrior]

Well. Here's a piece that I meant to have done during Pride Month, that I finished at the end of July, and then didn't actually post online until August. Oops. XD Ah well. Anyway, here's some of my pride headcanons for Warriors, with each cat holding/wearing something with the colors of their relevant Pride flag.

Up first are the aroace queens, Drizzle of RiverClan and Mousefur! Drizzle's from Riverstar's Home if you don't remember her, she got super cranky/uncomfortable about Riverstar's relationship with Finch Song. A lot of it was probably just her being young and not wanting to see her old leader and his wife kissing in front of her, and her overall annoyance at how Riverstar's love for Finch Song kept them from going home on time, but to me she just gave off so much "ew allo romance is gross, I'm too aroace to deal with this" vibes, I love it. :D We need more ace queens in this world. Mousefur I won't get into as much, as I think viewing her as aroace is pretty standard. As a RiverClan warrior, Drizzle's of course carrying a fish she caught, while Mousefur caught a bird.

Up next we've got gay Tallstar and bi Jake. :D Tallstar gets a pretty gay butterfly (I drew the butterfly in this piece before the butterfly wings in the Hake drawing if you can't tell, this one looks a lot more awkward XD) on his head, and Jake as a kittypet gets a non-wild accessory, a bi bandana - a bidana, if you will. XD I don't think Jake was actually in love with either of his mates after Tallstar, I think that was more just friends who wanted kits together (though Quince was definitely more in love with Jake than she let on), but he's attracted to both toms and she-cats.

Then we've got best gay farm boys, Ravenpaw and Barley. :D For Barley I cheated a bit and let him have a non-wild accessory since he's a farm cat even though we never see him interact that closely with the twolegs, I figured a little kerchief thing worked well enough for a farm cat. I was pretty stumped what to do for Ravenpaw's accesory until I remembered, oh yeah, he's Ravenpaw - give him an adder! XD Reffed their pose from a really cute photo of two cats cuddling.

Up next is pan Sasha! Pan always seemed to fit her really well, there's so many cats of various genders she's shipped with. For once she actually looks happy. :D Just taking a moment to enjoy a bit of Pride in a pan-colored collar.

And now for all the various demisexual headcanons. :D Up first are two she-cats Sasha is shipped with a lot, demibisexual Leopardstar and demilesbian Russetfur. Leopardstar gets a damselfly as her accessory, they hang out near water and have shimmery wings that flash different colors in the light so I figure that works, and Russetfur has berries behind her ear as a nod to her one biggest moment that makes me dislike her character despite loving her portrayal in the Tigerstar and Sasha books - the scene where she watches Berrykit struggle in a fox trap and does nothing to save him. Still not sure how to reconcile that scene with her portrayal in the other books. Anyway, Leopard liked both Frog and I like to think Sasha as well, but only those two and doesn't tend to find anyone attractive until she forms that strong bond, and Russetfur only ever liked Sasha as far as I'm concerned and was too focused on her role as deputy to care much about romance besides that one time.

The last two are our demibi boys, Riverstar and Jayfeather! For Riverstar, he does feel attraction a bit more easily than the rest of our demi cats, he likes looking at a pretty face, but he doesn't really feel a deep attraction until those deeper feelings form, like with Flutter and Finch Song - but there was definitely something there for Gray Wing, even if it never fully developed into love. For Jayfeather, he hardly ever feels attraction, though he could for toms or she-cats equally - the only time anything developed far enough for that was Half Moon. Riverstar is wearing a flower crown 'cause he strikes me as a flower crown kind of guy, and Jayfeather is carrying herbs.

[inexplicifics]

So I was rereading the first chapter of That Is Born Out Of Agony, and it says Renfri knows how to play the lap harp “indifferently well, mostly because she is interested.” Am I reading that right? Does she like instruments in general, or specifically the lap harp? I know you said neither you nor she knows what she wants to do in the future, but do you ever think she’d ask Jaskier or maybe one of the noble ladies to teach her a bit more? When compared to her other lessons, would it even strike her to ask about something as seemingly frivolous to learn as music? I hope she learns about the full Kaer Morhen experience, complete with the arts and crafts that people do, rather than just the classes witcher trainees need (not that I’m not thrilled that she’s learning that too)! Jask has his performances, Milena has her embroidery, Sasha has his drawing, and Cedric and Axel have their crafts, too. It’s okay that she doesn't already know everything; there’s an array of people with unique experiences (some with very long lives) who would do their best to pass on their knowledge of whatever the subject she’s interested in is❤️

Oops, that started as a question and morphed as it went. I love your work and I wish you the best in wrestling the plot bunnies!

If Renfri does choose to learn more about music, Jaskier will be absolutely over the moon. And honestly he'll probably offer, if she even looks faintly interested.

So she might well become rather more than indifferently good at the lap harp!

[meglyfer]

Do you have any info about your Lux variant? :O Her design is literally so gorgeous; I'd love to know more about her!

OKAY, SIT DOWN BECAUSE I HAVE MORE TO SAY ABOUT HER THAN I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT (I've been here for like an hour or more)

Her design was made by both me and my friend @xommed, and more than a variant we think of her as our interpretation of the character, which may or may not be very different from the original Lux because the only thing we have from he is fro when she was a kid, so we kinda made up all about her lol

She lives in the Omega Timeline with her parents Dream and Cross, and her half brother Palette. Her best friends are Shino (one of the afterdeath kids) and Drew/Sasha (Mine and Xomma's horrordust fankid), though she is friend with a whole lot of other characters and fankids (The Death kids, Gradient, Blue Print, PJ, etc)

Lux doesn't have a defined age, as sometimes we may draw her older or younger depending on the situation, but most of the time we draw her as a teen or young adult. If I had to be a bit more specific regarding her age, I'd say she's about a year older than Shino and Drew

She is a calm and kind person who won't hesitate to help people, but she's not afraid to say things just how they are or kick someone's ass for being an asshole. Her world view is similar to Dream's but a bit more realistic; she belives that anyone can be a good person if they try, but she knows that not everyone really wants to try to be good

In her friend group she is the voice of reason, but just because she's usually the smart one it doesn't mean that she doesn't have her stupid moments either. She can be very silly, but knows when to get serious. Lux usually likes going along with whatever dumb thing Sasha and Shino have going on, sometimes even she herself initiating said dumbery, but knows where the line lies for things

Regarding school, Lux is a decent enough student. She is a smart girl, but school is just so boring! She does just the bare minimum to pass, leaving homework undone and projects half baked. She may be the "voice of reason" in most occations, but that doesn't mean she follows her own advice when it comes to responsability

As noted in the previous paragraph, Lux can be a bit "rebelious". She doesn't take certain laws, rules and regulations seriously, either because she thinks they're dumb or can't make any sense of them (Example: doing grafities in the Omega Timeline, eating in class, elbows on the table while eating, etc). There has also been ocations in which she has skipped classess she finds easy (like English class to give an example) out of boredom or gotten out of her house when she wasn't allowed to (She always notifies Palette though, so at least someone knows where she is + she knows her brother is not gonna snitch, because she does the same for him)

Lux has a very good relationship with her family, but her parents can sometimes be a bit too overbearing for her, specially when they talk about responsability. With Palette everything is all good all the time. They constantly tease each other about certain things, but they know there's no intent to hurt behind their words. The siblings are always there for each other when they need them

Some fun facts about her: · She can change her "hair" however she wants. Most of the time she has it like how you see in my art, but if she wanted to she could change it so it lookes more like canon Lux, or make it longer, make it defy grabity, etc. The only thing she can't change about it is the colour · She's very intuitive when it comes to figuring out people's feelings and what to do about them. However, she has a bit of a rougher time when it comes to figuring out her own feelings · She is a self sacrificing type of person. She'd do and give anything, and I mean, ANYTHING for the people she loves · She's a lesbian (of course she is) · Her design was subconciously inspired by Hatsune Miku (we didn't realise how similar they were until later on)

Lastly, I'd like to share some sketches me and Xomma did while trying to figure out her design because, WHY NOT? (All pencil drawings were made by Xomma)

(Thank god we didn't go with this one ↓)

[cult-of-the-eye]

tma makeup headcanons:

Jonathan "serving cunt" Sims:

S1 Jon doesn't know what makeup is (he absolutely wore eyeliner every single day at uni but he's not letting everyone else know that)

He like spot conceals but that's about all he feels comfortable getting away with while maintaining his air of professionalism

He also despises the feeling of foundation on his face

S2 Jon is barefaced as the day he was born. My man's last priority is how he looks, he's too busy buying axes in central London and stalking his coworkers

S3 Jon has none of his makeup with him but he's got loads of spare time and Georgie has a whole drawer so he experiments a little bit, he goes for Kajal (black pencil eyeliner lining the inside of your eyes) instead of his previous winged eyeliner but he hesitates at the any colour because she managed to pull it off but he's never been one for drawing attention to himself like that but one day he goes for a burgundy or like dark purplish red colour and he's quite pleased with himself

I feel like Jon would go for a natural kind of look, with concealer and a skin tint at best, some dark brown eye shadow to deepen his hooded eyes and kajal

Martin Kslaying Blackwood:

Ugh I love this man so much

I'm literally such a fan of trans Martin it's pretty much canon to me so I'm headcanoning that he's very hesitant about makeup cause he was a late transitioner and had only just gotten used to passing recently so he doesn't want to do anything to risk that

But he's such a slut for a nice little blush or like a subtle lip tint

He goes for powder blushes cause liquid ones feel sticky on his face and also powder blushes just Look Nice

He also likes lip tints cause he's constantly rubbing off lip products, with the multiple mugs of tea a day and it's getting awkward handing Jon mugs of tea with faint lipstick stains on them

He keeps an emergency kit in his bag with like some eyeshadow if he needs to darken his facial hair and on a whim he puts a baby pink powder blush in there and a matching lip tint

So it's not like he decided to bring it to the safehouse, it was just sort of there

Jon finds it and he's like let's go, we're going down to the shops and buying some, we're gonna do some experimenting and Martin's like oh!!

When he was working for Peter Lukas, he was also barefaced, he didn't want to give him the satisfaction of thinking he put effort in

Timothy "Take notes" Stoker:

This man is such a fun makeup guy

He's a random dots around his eyes, shimmery colourful inner corner, new colour every day, just drawing shit around his eyes kinda man

He's a no foundation no concealer kinda guy as well I think

ugh just can you imagine??? They have a little tally of what colours/patterns Tim's using today and somehow he never managed to repeat a look - it might be a repeated colour but the pattern or the way it's used it's always different

And then one day he just stops. He still wears makeup but the colours are more muted and they make his eyes look bruised in a very decisive way

It's almost as if he's spent ages on a look and then tried to scrub it all away

Sashay Away James

She's such a glamorous girly I feel like she really enjoys the process of makeup more than actually changing the way she looks

I'd love her to be doing the whole shebang, spending hours picking the right primer and stuff like that

She goes for the yeah I'm wearing makeup and I'm slaying look

I feel like she's so good at a little nose highlight

Can you imagine every day Tim greeting Sasha every morning with like a love the highlight girl and it makes her happy every single time

Oh she's such a fake freckles girly absolutely

Hated false eyelashes cause they feel weird

Not Sasha believes makeup is pushing feminism backwards

Crazy Girls | Hange x Reader Fluff

masterlist

Summary: AU where Halloween night Levi watches Hange hype up her hot girlfriend.

Word Count: 600ish

Megan's Note: Song Correlated: "Crazy Girls" by toopoor. I so badly want to read a Sasha x Niccolo fic. They needed more time!!!! Posted: 5/18/24

“Trick or treat!” You said as Levi opened the door. His eyes popped out of his head as he comprehended what you were wearing. Levi hung out with you twice before, but this time he was meeting a whole lot of you. You smirked at him with your eyelined mesmerizing eyes. He could not be staring at his friend’s girlfriend like this. How could Levi not think dirty thoughts of you when you’re wearing white lace thigh highs, a light blue short skirt, and a super cropped top that’s showing off your slutty waist? Not only that but the black headband with a bow on your head added to the whole cute and hot image. 

“Y/N . . . Where's the rest of your costume?” Levi said his mouth agape showing his fake vampire teeth.

“This is it? I’m Alice from Alice in Wonderland!” You twirled a strand of your hair while giving Levi a faux-innocent look. Hange with a top hat came from behind Levi. A dark red suit covered her body along with an orange checkered vest and green bow tie.

“WOOOOO! Y/N, you look HOT!” Hange hugged you. “I love the little headband! I think you have the best costume for sure! Come in, we have time to take a few pics before heading to the bar!” Hange enthusiastically pulled you in and shut the door. “Levi take some photos of me and Y/N!” Levi was still in disbelief that you were going to go to the bar wearing that. From under his cape, he reached out to get Hanges phone. “Okay, first a few normal ones!” 

“Ok uh 3 . . 2 . . 1,” Levi took photos of you and Hange smiling. You two tilt your heads slightly toward each other. Genuinely you two looked quite adorable as a Mad Hatter and Alice couple’s costumes. 

“Now silly ones!” Hange grabbed your neck and you posed a scared expression on your face, Levi nervously took the photo of Hange choking you. Then you both changed poses. You stuck out your tongue with both hands doing peace signs. Hange gave you bunny ears while she held up two fingers making a ‘V’ and sticking out her tongue. “You are so cute I love your costume!” Hange hugged you again then took the phone from Levi’s shaking hands. His friend’s girlfriend was hot. “We have time to take a few pics of you before we leave!”

“Yeah, let's do it!”

From the couch, Levi watched Hange take photos of you in sexy poses. You were on your knees with both hands in front of you. “Babe, arch your back more! YES LIKE THAT!!!! Look more innocent! SO CUTE!!!!!” Hange took more photos. She started backing away, giving more distance between you. “Okay now crawl towards me! Draw me in with your eyes! Y/N you look HOT!!!!” 

Levi, in his vampire costume, continued to quietly sit on the couch for ten minutes watching Hange hype you up. He watched as you were lying on the table where he ate his meals. Hange kept making you do different poses. “Look to the side and put your finger near your mouth while giving me an alluring look! The cutest girl ever!” 

“Are you two ready to meet up with Erwin at the bar?” Levi asked. 

“Y/N! Look at these photos of you!” Hange swiped through the photos she took of you looking hot in your Alice costume.

“Wow, these are so good!”

“I bet creeps would pay a ton of money for these photos of you!” Hange was nearly jumping up and down. “I think you’ll be the hottest at the bar!”

baby space usually comes out involuntarily and after something more stressful but can also be used as a way to relax when he needs it

he’s so energetic when in kiddo space oml - always wants to be doing something, playing outside, drawing, dancing, it really doesn’t matter he just wants to be moving and engaging in an activity

to no shock, spider is the first person ant regresses around, back when the trio of ant, spider & dusty was still going strong ant always felt more comfortable with spider so he found it easier to slip around spider

the first time he regressed in front of spider it was not planned and was a bit hectic

spider thought ant was on drugs, ant was overwhelmed as spider desperately tried to “sober him up” by shoving water bottles into his hands and freaking out even more when ant struggled to hold & drink from them (he’s just a lil guy!!)

they figure it out eventually and spider is able to google what age regression is

he might spend too much time on google but sue him that’s his best friend!!

eventually ant becomes more comfortable with his regression and isn’t as secretive about it

dusty is oblivious. but harper & missy & sasha clock him within five seconds

cue three new babysitters!

harper watches over him a lot when she’s dating dusty and then when dusty leaves she keeps up with the schedule

her & spider kind of trade off like divorced parents lol

speaking of ants parents, they suck so bad & he hates being at home in general but especially if he’s regressed

after cash & harper move in together he spends a lot of nights crashing at their place, regressed or not

he has his own designated dresser in Harper’s room, it’s small but holds some extra clothes and any little gear he has

since amerie & malakai are over so much they find out about ants regression and instantly go “omg the babyyyy” and spoil him as much as two broke teenagers can

cash will babysit but he prefers it if darren is at his side while he does, they watch a lot of movies together to avoid any possible chaos without harper or spider around

missy gets back into babysitting regularly when she starts to date spider, they are so good with him & take him on lil kiddo trips

lots of arcade visits, beach trips, going out to get ice cream with some of the others, the aquarium & zoo (which they always invite quinni on)

ant dosent have a lot of little gear but he has some teethers (oral fixation go brr) and fidget toys

stress balls are banned though cause he’ll bite them and pop them open

he has a plethora of fidget spinners and hot wheels and army men that he’s constantly messing around with

he likes things he can easily slip into his pocket and carry around whenever

the sugar tooth this kid has is unmatched

all the candy and sweets are limited when he’s regressed, nobody can really do anything when he’s big tho

loves to make forts in harpers room and set up a mini projector so they can have movie nights

he’s very cuddly in general but especially with harper and spider

spider’s able to carry him around if ant wants and harper is so gentle and soft with him it makes him feel safer than he does with basically anyone else

The water element redesign

I noticed I have not been posting here lately and I don't know if y'all have meet my oc Sasha the water element, I originally made her for @cjstararts cuz I thought it would be fun, this is not her first design tho but this will be her official design cuz this looks much better then other two designs I draw her in.

Now her some more things you'll need to know about her:

• When her first love dead she made a promise to wait for them in their next life hoping they'll reunite once more, and yes she is still waiting till this day (I'm deciding if I should make her first love female or male)

• She is confused if she like Aelia as a friend or something more, but she always bottle her feelings for Aelia but she always give her support and love especially when Aelia started dating the ice element

• She rarely uses her human form anymore cuz of her hatred for mortals

• Sasha has never once thought of aelia as a monster she sees her more as a broken soul that has been through a terrible past and had lost her old self through the masses of her own life, Sasha has been through that before but not as worse as Aelia did so she tries to stay by her side no matter what she does hoping to know more of Aelia burdens and try understand and help her as best as she can

• Like sirens Sasha also has a beautiful and enchanting voice which can also be included to her abilities

Anyways thats all for now and if you want to learn more about Aelia and the other element (that aren't mine except for Sasha) go to

@cjstararts

Bye for now

summer character ref!

i realized i never made a character ref for my self insert/oc so here it is <3 she’s a part of the aot universe :3

more information about them under the read more, if you're interested! (it's long i am SORRY)

summary: born in the shiganshina district and part of the 104th cadet corps. they join the survey corps, and ultimately become a part of the special operations squad (squad levi). with a bit of naivety to them, they start off very hopeful for the future of paradis.

as she joins the survey corps, she is in charge of creating maps used for formations and battle strategies. there are also times where she helps in designing equipment, such as the executioner from hell (that large log device used to kill titans) and the new odm gear.

unfortunately, the pressure of dealing with titans on a regular basis, as well as the stressors from her personal life, start to plant a seed of uncertainty in her.

after sasha’s death, she loses a lot of meaningful connections with her friends. she begins to isolate herself and displays behaviors that are abnormal for her, such as excessive fear and panic.

additionally, she loses her ability to maintain a healthy day to day life. no one knows what’s going on- she’s met with resistance towards her “odd” behaviors.

it all becomes too much. since she's unable to “quit”, she runs away, living beyond the walls in a small cabin. she spends her days maintaining her land and learning how to become a fishmonger. her mental health improves slightly, but never really recovers.

occasionally they make trips into marley to sell their fish, forging documents that allow them into the nation. human interaction for them becomes far and few in between, usually only when they visit marley.

her visits to marley really open her eyes; seeing the worst of society. all the blame that’s put on her people, all the injustice, the misinformation.

at first, she takes a neutral stance on the rumbling. ultimately though, she realizes that the rumbling is inhumane and needs to be stopped, so she helps out in the end. she doesn’t fight directly, rather provides support on falco’s jaw titan with levi and gabi.

combat/skills: truthfully, she is not an expert in using her odm gear, being one of the lowest performing students in her cadet days. for some reason, she is unable to get the complexities of the odm gear down, but manages well enough not to get chomped up.

for summer, she is relied upon more for her ability to create diagrams and maps that the survey corps would use, mainly for battle tactics and navigation. she was in charge of making maps for different squads, spending long nights carefully curating each drawing.

personality: summer has an innate curiosity and unique appreciation for the world. she feels a deep connection to nature, the stars, and the moon. she can also be very creative and has a profound love for art, especially paintings and sculptures.

when it comes to interacting with others, she is very shy and withdrawn, opting to avoid individuals rather than approach them. unfortunately, she doesn’t trust easily, making it hard for her to form deep connections with others. nonetheless, she tries her best to be respectful and understanding.

she wants to be an optimist, but has had her hope taken many times, leading her to become increasingly pessimistic as time goes on. her world view can be very negative at times, especially during her visits to marley. but through it all, her love for the world never dissipates. to her, there is always something to find joy in.

appearance: her features are very round and soft. her eyes are an amber color, while her hair is an orange/redhead color. it’s styled to be in a wavy bob with bangs on the left side of her face. 

summer is short in stature, no more than 5 feet tall. she has a very flat/emotionless expression most of the time, even when expressing intense emotion. she also has a hard time maintaining eye contact.

relationships: romantically involved with eren. they have known each other since they were children. as kids, they argued a lot, since summer and eren had similar personalities- the two of them being hotheads. 

however, as they get older, their passion for the world brings them together. summer has a slight crush on eren during her cadet days, silently pining over him for years. after many awkward smiles and shy glances, eren drunkenly admits his feelings to summer at the party in marley, leading them to start dating. 

while summer is living in the cabin, she doesn’t see eren much. when eren becomes a wanted man, he randomly surprises summer with visits that can last a few days. unfortunately he can’t stay for long, otherwise he risks the livelihood of both of them. the two of them simply appreciate the time they have together.

when eren starts the rumbling, they are still together, but summer completely disapproves of his actions, leaving their relationship in limbo (not that it’s that important at that point anyway.) she eventually decides she can’t let him go on with the rumbling and aids in his death.

best friends with sasha. they met in the 104th cadet corps, and instantly became friends after sasha’s potato mishap. sasha and summer’s personalities mesh together perfectly. they stay close friends until sasha’s death, which becomes one of the breaking points for summer.

friends with jean and connie. she’s not as close to them as she is with sasha, but she trusts them greatly and gets along with them very well. connie, sasha, and summer goof off a lot, while jean has to scramble to get everybody back on track. ultimately, the four of them have a solid bond.

aquaintances with mikasa and armin. despite interacting with them since she was a child, she doesn’t know them extremely well. but she gets along with them just fine. she appreciates the level of care they have for eren.

mentored by levi. the two of them have a unique level of trust with each other. levi is familiar with summer’s outbursts and panics, and is able to calm her down alot, especially during battle. summer deeply trusts levi and looks to him for advice and navigating through life. a few sarcastic remarks from levi is all summer needs to push herself forward, or see things from a new perspective.

likes: mystery, thinking deeply, art, the moon and stars.

dislikes: loud noises, being alone, mirrors, and eye contact.

gimme your sasharcy takes

oh man that’s lot to ask, plus I have so much to say but can never find the words

I think they have a unique ability to understand each other in many different ways that Anne wouldn't be able to, such as with their trauma, or even before amphibia. we can see neither of them have the best home life, and how much they desperately need their friends. in Sasha’s need to have some control over anything, even her best friends, and Marcy’s desperate attempt to stay with her friends through the Music Box. Anne has good parents who obviously love her and want the best for her. anyway back to sasharcy

Marcy really needs someone to pay attention to her, to care about her interests, and to love her as she is. Sasha needs someone that she can be herself around, and that she doesn’t feel the need to control. 

I've read a lot of fics where Marcy and Sasha just work together, they enjoy doing things together. Marcy is perfectly willing to go with whatever Sasha wants, and Sasha enjoys not having to force, say, Anne, to go along with it. honestly that was pretty toxic, cause Marcy never did anything for herself and Sasha never got pushback from her. man I'm bad at this putting thoughts into words thing

I think after amphibia those two would be the perfect people for each other in that they can help each other and understand. honestly my perception of sasharcy doesn't even have to be romantic, they can be amazing friends to each other as well. 

both of them inevitably have problems with guilt, with feeling terrible about how they treated people, or what they did, or how they did things. they can be there for each other as ‘neither of us are perfect, we can see that, and we know that in each other’s presence we don’t need to be’. it’s like they know they’re messed up, they did messed up things, but the other is okay with that. they can work through it. they’re better now.

where am I even going... uh

I also think Sasha would love the opportunity to give all her love to Marcy, to focus on her and being there for her. I think she’d call her lots of sweet nicknames and it’d make Marcy so happy every time...

I love the thought of them looking at Anne and going ‘she’s too good, I could never be worthy of her after everything I've done’ but looking at each other and knowing that ‘she’s just as broken as I am’

they’d be there for each others’ nightmares, PTSD, other trauma, and not judge at all because they do it for each other. if they live together Sasha would be able to keep Marcy from staying up too late and from not taking care of her health. Marcy would be a comfort to Sasha and be a comforting presence to her, as well as making her laugh and supporting her. they’d both be pretty bad at cooking tho, so they get Thai Go really often since they were always at the Boonchuys and now they love it

shit this got really long and I haven't even said all of it

when Sasha was on her way to save Marcy and was doubting whether they could even be friends again, and if she should forgive her, then she finds out what happened to her. it would take a bit to really accept that she wants to forgive her, and really it’s good that she would think about it first, to really understand. heh then she realizes that if she deserves forgiveness then Marcy definitely does. she sees her own mistakes as much worse than Marcy’s, and thinks she’d be a hypocrite if she wasn't willing to forgive her. Marcy is just grateful the other girls don’t hate her and of course she forgives Sasha, even tho she maybe should think about it more...?

plus, they even match! matching back scars, matching cheek scars, matching betrayals... and if you go with my headcanon then Sasha even has short hair at some point!

I think at some point Sasha somehow became my favorite character after Marcy, (tho I do love Polly and Maddie...) because I think I draw him even more than Marcy at this point! also I love thinking about him and his stupid little silliness. love fics about him too. just as long as they aren't of marcanne or sashanne, because I actually find it hard to read those

I take back the ‘can’t ever find the words’ thing I said, that was obviously false

anyway I'm sure I've got more, but I should end this for now... (if you want more just ask, I love these two)

<3 thank you so insanely much for the ask dude, this was fun to think about and write hehe

[seeingivy]

Do you draw inspiration from.your own life (events, emotions...) to write ?

HEAVILY!!!!

I think this is something I do specifically for my longer form fics...the one shot tend to be more of the sporadic, cute scenarios I imagine while I go to sleep. but longer form fics are where I really start digging into my own life and putting my own thoughts/feelings into it

a few examples:

roommate eren: actually doesn't really apply, because that was so early into my writing.

method acting eren: (gets bullet points)

eren as a character and y/n as characters I feel have parts of myself that I often feel like are at war with in my own head lol (which is why they have conflict!!)

y/n gets swayed by people around her so quickly and cares about what people think - a little too much. eren is also just deeply self destructive at times and so in his own head that he can't see what's in front of him at all. those two things combined are not a pretty combo, which is why x y and z happens in method acting.

historia's whole being jealous of y/n arc is based of me in real life!!! struggle with real life comparisons so hard and it can be something that is so obsessive for me. when the song lacy came out, it was the first time I really felt seen in the way that wanting to be like someone else so bad can be so all consuming that I wanted to kind of include that in the fic, esp how it pertains to female friendships (will say, all the reception I got about that character and that friendship soothed a lot of rough spots in my heart about that so I appreciate you all)

lana's struggles with love - particulary the part that she has bad relationships of love modeled to her, hence why she originally puts up with ricky in the first place is also based on me (guys this fic is so self indulgent please leave me alone ok) and I haven't reached the whole self actualized love part but i'll get there! (thank you for all the love on the lana character I could cry if I thought about it)

also a bit more deep, but a lot of criticism that I got about the fic (esp after the whole reveal of why eren did what he did) was like "oh he could have just told her" "I don't get why he didn't" was kind of meant to be a more subtle thing of how when you love someone who is struggling with mental illness/bad environments (which at that point he was in a kind of abusive relationship with his producer so), it's often that the way that they cope or react as a byproduct is sometimes something that doesn't make sense/isn't logical - and is no way that something to put up with (which is literally why she doesn't), but it's also why eren is more logical and rational when he gets help. you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped (which at that point he didn't want to) and they need to put their own work in (which eren obv does after everything that happens)

^^ (this is based on relationships that i've had in my own life but also feeling put in that position of doing things that weren't rational and didn't make sense that hurt people and later realizing when I put the work in what a lot of that actually was and trying to have grace with it)

kind of random, but I always imagine method acting sasha as poc. I didn't want to say it explicit so people didn't start beefing with me about x y and z, but that's why she doesn't get the same treatment as y/n or mikasa. (not saying that y/n is white or fits beauty standards, but she's a self insert so I can't exactly assign her a race so the same point can't be made). but for the sasha character, it's kind of those feelings that poc/darker skinned girls get of not being the person anyone is interested in, the girl who is always funny and never pretty, super motherly but never the girl anyone has a crush on. anyways. (sincerely the token mom friend in highschool!!!)

best friends older brother sukuna:

so like. ive never talked to my best friends older brother. he is thirty. and he's also married to a sweetie pie.

THAT BEING SAID

a big part of that fic is obviously intimacy - but more the fact that there's a lot of depth to intimacy beyond sex - especially for people who have bad first experiences and how they kind of have to grapple with that afterwards (I will not elaborate on how I relate to this. connect dots.)

AND ALSO. sibling relationships is a big part of that fic. I have two older siblings (and the fic also has two older siblings). the relationships that I have with both of them are so dynamically different - in terms of good sibling/bad sibling (if that's even a thing, which the point is kind of that it's more complicated than that) and also younger/older dynamics

^^I won't elaborate more on that but just know in that fic that i've had my fair share of sammy and my fair share of sukuna - but also had my moments where i'm immature and not fair like y/n and yuuji. so.

thanks for this ask it was so fun!!! so sorry I yapped....and overshared.....

SKELETONS | ch. 37

daryl dixon x f!oc

masterlist

a03 link

Summary: As the sickness begins to spread, Daryl and a small group leaves on a mission. Warnings/Information: AMC's The Walking Dead OC Insert | 18+ Advised | strangers to lovers; the slowest of slow burns; gore; angst; horror; humour; m/f; walker swarms; illness spreading; group suicide by antifreeze; graphic descriptions of brutal flu symptoms; criticism of those who "opt out" of apocalyptic circumstances via suicide

Chapter 37 - Quarantined

Iris shuffled limply into the cell block, Daryl shutting the glass door behind her.

“Caleb?” She called weakly, staggering further in. Everything was grey, the shuffling of her feet accompanied by disembodied coughing and quiet moans. She turned to the left, watching a woman cough a clot of blood into the handkerchief in her hand. “Caleb!” She called a little louder. She jumped as the cell door beside her clanged, the person who died inside of it clawing at her through the bars. 

“Iris. We have to tell them.” Caleb said, staggering over toward her, leaning on the iron staircase. “It’s starting.”

-

“It’s spread.” Hershel confirmed, sitting around the council table with the few remaining members alongside him. “Everyone who survived the attack in Cell Block D. Sasha, Caleb, and now others.”

“Iris?” Carol asked, turning to Daryl with a worried expression. He nodded silently, biting down on his thumbnail. “So what do we do?”

“First things first. Cell Block A is isolation. We keep the sick people there like we tried with Karen and David.” Hershel explained. 

“What the hell are we going to do about that?” Daryl asked, recalling their problem with the charred bodies outside.

“Ask Rick to look into it.” Carol suggested. “Try to make a timeline— who’s where, when. But what are we gonna do to stop this?”

“There is no stopping it.” Hershel shook his head. “You get it, you have to go through it.”

“But it just kills you?” Michonne asked.

“The illness doesn’t. The symptoms do. We need antibiotics.”

“We’ve been through every pharmacy nearby.” Daryl shook his head. “And then some.”

“That veterinary college at West Peachtree Tech, that’s one place people may not think to look for medication. The drugs for animals there are the same we need.” Hershel explained. 

“Thats fifty miles.” Daryl nodded. “Too big a risk before. Ain’t now. I’ll take a group out. Best not to waste any more time.”

“I’m in.” Michonne agreed.

“You haven’t been exposed.” Hershel protested. “Daryl has. You get in a car with him…”

“He's already given me fleas.” Michonne jested, grinning. Hershel chuckled lightly. 

“I can lead the way.” He offered. “I know where everything’s kept."

“When we’re out there, it’s always the same.” Daryl shook his head, licking his lips. “Sooner or later, we run.”

“I can draw you a map.” Hershel conceded. “There are other precautions I feel we should take.”

“Like what?” Carol asked.

“There’s no telling how long it’ll be before Daryl’s group returns. Wouldn’t it make sense for us to separate the most vulnerable?” Hershel proposed. “We can use the administration building. Separate office, separate room.”

“Who is the most vulnerable?” Glenn asked.

“The very young.”

“What about the old?”

-

Daryl slung his vest over the hood of a car, hooking up the struts to keep it open. He pulled the dipstick out, frowning as Michonne meandered over.

“Son of a bitch is about a quart low.” He stated.

“You still keep it in the bottom of tower three?” Michonne asked.

“Yeah.” He nodded. She turned to go get the oil as Daryl planted his hands on the car, bracing himself. He was mad. Iris was sick. The worst part was, there wasn’t much he could really do about it. He could go on this run, get meds and other things from the veterinary college, but then what?

“You okay?” Michonne asked, turning back. Daryl looked up, nodding briskly. She paused, pursing her lips. “You worried about Iris?” He said nothing, pausing a moment before nodding again. “We’ll do what we can.”

“Feels weird going out without her.” He admitted. Michonne nodded.

“If anyone’s going to pull through, it’s her. She is one tough woman.” Michonne said with a soft smile. Daryl nodded. He knew that. Of course he knew that. But he would still allow himself to worry. 

-

Iris watched as Carol herded more of the sick into the cell block. She and Caleb were doing what they could for themselves and the others. Iris watched as Carol hugged and consoled a little girl, Lizzie. Her father had died when Patrick got sick and asked Carol to take care of her and her sister. Carl said she was a creepy little kid. The little girl coughed into her elbow, Carol nudging her through the door.

“Lizzie?” Iris called. She looked up. “Want someone to tuck you in?” She offered. Lizzie nodded and Iris extended her hand, helping her inside the quarantine zone to find her a clean cot to sleep in. “You know me?”

“Iris.” Lizzie replied. Iris nodded. She helped her into a cot and pulled the blanket up to her chin.

“Yep. You come and get me or call for me if you need anything, okay?” Iris asked. She turned, coughing into her elbow before looking back. “Everything is gonna be okay.”

“Okay.” Lizzie agreed meekly. She turned over, facing the wall as she hugged the sheet to herself. Iris sighed, pushing herself to her feet and shuffling back out of the room.

“Iris?” Sasha called from across the room. She looked up. “Daryl wants to talk to you.” 

Iris shuffled into a small room with a chair and a window with a curtain, a small speaker through the wall allowing people to talk through. This is where inmates on death row met with their families for the last time. Morbid, and unsettling. Daryl stood with his arms crossed, looking up as she entered the room, pulling a blanket tighter around her shoulders. He frowned at the sight of her, pallid and sickly, heavy bags under her eyes.

“Don’t look at me.” Iris groaned, pulling the blanket over her face. Daryl scoffed.

“Since when do you care?” He asked, trying to bring light to the situation, but the slight waver in his voice betrayed him. 

“You’re right.” Iris sniffled, smiling sympathetically. “Miss me out there?”

“Damn near falling apart.” He replied, offering the slightest upturn of the corner of his mouth. It soothed Iris a little, and she settled into the hard metal chair. “How’s it in there?”

“Disgusting.” She replied. He frowned. “But better than it looks. I feel useless.”

“Nah. Sasha told me how you were helping everyone.” He stated. Iris shrugged. “We’re going on a run. Hershel drew us a map of that veterinary college.” 

“That’s far.” Iris frowned.

“I know.” Daryl agreed. “But we could have medicine as early as tomorrow.” Iris looked up hopefully, and truth be told, it broke his heart. “Hang on a little longer, alright? We’ve got a chance.”

“Daryl…” She murmured.

“Get some rest. I gotta go.” He said, clearing his throat before turning away, not daring to turn back. Iris sighed, pressing her forehead against the cool glass. They had a chance. 

Daryl made his way back outside, setting up Zach’s car for the run. It was a pretty nice Charger, and he’d kept it in good order. Iris had made a few slight comments about how Zach likely didn’t know how to drive such a nice car.

“Everything alright?” Bob asked, walking over with a can of gas.

“Yeah. Zach kept this thing running pretty good.” Daryl replied, wiping his hands off on a rag as he chucked his vest into the driver’s seat.

“This is Zach’s car?” Bob asked, his tone falling.

“Fastest one we got.” Daryl explained. “You alright?”

“You really want me coming along?” Bob asked. Daryl pulled out the list of medications Hershel gave him, walking over to Bob.

“What’s this word?” He asked, pointing to the first item on the list.

“Zanamivir.” Bob replied. Daryl nodded.

“Yep. We need you.” They both turned as Tyreese came over. “What’s up?”

“You still got room for one more?” Tyreese asked.

“Hell yeah.”

“Good. Just got to get my gear.” Tyreese replied, nodding as he jogged off to gather his things.

“Alright.” Daryl murmured to himself, loading up his crossbow.

The first half of the ride was quiet, anxious. Little conversation. There was a lot on the line, and each of them knew it. After a while, Daryl got fed up with the silence, punching the button for the radio. 

“Hand me some of them CDs?” Daryl asked, gesturing to the CD case in the glove compartment. Michonne rifled through them before they all stopped dead at the sound of a voice on the radio.

“Was that a voice?” Bob asked. Daryl shushed him as he fiddled with the tuning, trying to zero in on the correct frequency. 

He looked up at Michonne for a split second before the car hit a walker with a lurch. Daryl inhaled sharply as he jerked the wheel, trying to weave in between the sudden influx of undead pedestrians. They skidded to a stop as a small herd came out from around the corner, quickly surrounding the car.

“Grab something!” Daryl yelled, throwing the car in reverse, they ran over a few walkers, creating a small pile between the back tires. 

“Go to the left!” Michonne pointed. When he shifted back into drive, the wheels were caught skidding in viscera as if it were mud. They were stuck. 

“We’re jammed.” Daryl announced. “Make a run for the gaps right there, you two make a run for the woods and you don’t stop for nothing, you hear me? Now!” He punched the sunroof out of the car, climbing up and taking aim with his crossbow. He and Michonne created a path. “Move!” He slid down the windshield smoothly as he and Michonne made a break for it. Bob and Tyreese scrambled out of the car, bolting after them.

Tyreese quickly got swarmed, taking down each walker that came at him with the small hammer he had as a weapon. He screamed at them to go, for the walkers to come after him, boldly sacrificing himself for the medicine. Daryl reluctantly guided Michonne and Bob into the woods, leaving the swarm of walkers and Tyreese behind them.

They hurried through the woods, weaving in between brush and trees to eliminate the few walkers they encountered. Daryl paused, turning back for a moment to see Tyreese burst through the brush. He was covered in gore, but they couldn’t tell if he was bit or not. They hauled him along, continuing to run.

Iris coughed. She coughed a lot. She coughed mid-sentence, attempting to thank Hershel for the cup of tea he handed her. She accepted it greedily, enjoying the hot liquid soothing her aching throat. He also handed her a cool cloth and she held it to her forehead. 

“Stay awake, kiddo.” Hershel murmured, patting her cheek as her eyes fluttered. Iris sighed, keeping her eyes open.

“Kiddo?” She asked, her voice hoarse. He nodded, smiling softly. She noted he no longer wore a mask over his face. “Thought I was supposed to be resting.”

“Not too deeply.” He replied. She smiled, nodding. Glenn appeared in the doorway of her cell, smiling weekly. “Keep each other awake, you hear?” The two of them nodded, Glenn coming in to sit on the cot beside her, intertwining their hands. Hershel left them to see to the others.

“You good?” Glenn asked, coughing lightly.

“I hate being sick. Always have.” Iris murmured.

“Doesn’t everyone?” He asked.

“Yeah, but I hate it with passion.” She replied, squeezing his hand for emphasis. He chuckled. “Always makes me think I took not being sick for granted.”

“They’ll come back soon. With the medicine.” Glenn assured. 

“You seen Maggie yet?” She asked. “She’s been asking for you.” He shook his head.

“I don’t want her to see me like this. I keep asking Hershel to cover for me.” He coughed. Iris nodded in understanding. She suffered through an inhale. 

“We’ll make it.” She whispered. Glenn nodded, his head lolling against hers as they leaned against the wall together.

“This is Turner Creek, so Barnesville must be a few miles downstream.” Michonne murmured.

“Sounds like our best chance at finding a new ride.” Bob agreed.

“Yo, Ty!” Daryl called from atop the small wooden bridge over the creek. Tyreese was kneeling on the bank, washing the blood out of his t-shirt. “C’mon, let’s go. Vámonos.” He made little move to follow them as they stood up, Bob staying back a few paces to make sure he came with. They’d lost a whole night in the woods because of the car. They didn’t have many more options other than press forward, but they were each taking it hard.

They found an old dirt road, following it in hopes they could find Barnesville at the end. Daryl stopped in the road, kneeling down and licking a finger before he picked up a stone, rubbing his saliva on it to clear away the dirt. It was pretty.

“Is that jasper?” Michonne asked. Daryl grunted, nodding slightly. “It’s a good colour. Brings out your eyes.” He looked up at her blankly, finding her chuckling silently. 

“When Miss Richards went into A block and found out we were leaving, she asked me to keep a lookout.” Daryl explained. “I’m gonna use it for her old man’s marker.”

“You know all of them back there?” She asked, surprised.

“You stay in one place more than a couple hours, you’d be surprised what you pick up.” He replied. It was a little passive aggressive, but they were all disappointed whenever Michonne decided she was going to leave again. He kept on walking, leaving her to sigh before following. 

They kept along the dirt road, soon finding a small building with corrugated steel walls. As they rounded the corner, the sign above indicated that it was a garage and gas station. A little overgrown, absolutely covered in ivy, but it had potential.

“See something?” Bob asked as Daryl stopped again.

“I don’t know, maybe.” He replied. He dove into an area of particularly thick brush, pulling a car door out of it as if from nowhere. As he climbed inside, the others tore off the ivy while Daryl tried to hot wire the car. He remembered when Iris taught him how, the two of them joking about misspent youths. She’d be thrilled to know Daryl always thought of her when committing this particular crime. When it started taking particularly long for the wires to catch, he sighed, climbing back out of the car. “We gotta find us a new battery.”

He turned around, finding a small, dust-covered window into the garage. It was open a little ways, but he couldn’t see anything inside. He spat into his hand to rub the dirt away, but a walker slammed against the glass from the inside first, causing him to jump back. 

“Got some friends inside.” He murmured. “C’mon. Let’s clear a path, see how many we got.”

They cleared away branches and swathes of ivy, trying to find a door. They dug through the brush for a moment before a walker each lunged out through the foliage. Michonne made quick work of their heads, careful to avoid the limbs of their group. Tyreese found the door, ripping the wires off and pulling the latch open. Bob and Daryl filed inside, most of the walkers having attacked them. Michonne and Tyreese went back over to clear the rest of the vines off of the car. There was regular station equipment and product, nothing in particular they needed.

Daryl moved into the garage, finding a stack of car batteries. He pried the cells open with a knife to check them out, see if it was gonna work.

“Cells look pretty dry.” Bob muttered. A little distilled water will clear that right up. Iris’ voice said in his head.

“Just need some water.” Daryl grunted. They meandered back through the store, looking around. Daryl’s flashlight caught on some gross-looking brown liquid on the ground, directly next to a bottle of antifreeze and a red solo cup. “That’s puke.” Daryl mused. “Those douchebags in the vines took themselves out. Holding hands, kumbaya style.”

“They wanted to go out together, same as they lived. That make them douchebags?” Bob asked, frowning.

“It does if they could have gotten out.” Daryl replied, pursing his lips.

“Everybody makes it, till they don’t.” Bob stated flatly. “People nowadays are dominos. What they did, maybe its about not having to watch them fall.” Daryl glanced back at him over his shoulder and nodded.

“Right.” He replied slowly. He grabbed a bottle of distilled water off of the shelf, turning the corner. “Come on.” There was another walker across the aisle, an old man, freshly dead, pinned underneath a large shelf that’d collapsed. Daryl left him, Bob staring down at the dead. He took a screwdriver off the wall, putting the thing out of its misery before following Daryl out of the shop.
