(I have the urge for every Marvel fanfic I write to have a seperate timeline where nothing bad happens, and everyone is happy)
A week later Bucky and I made our way to the Doctor's office, we had left the compound separately, not wanting to draw attention to ourselves, Bucky had met me in his car at the end of the incredibly long drive out of the compound.Â
I hated the doctors, we sat in the waiting room, it was stuffy in here, full of people too, I hated it, but Bucky took my hand in his, holding it and doing that thing with his thumb, stroking the skin of my hand gently, it calmed me down. I could tell he felt nervous too, his knee was bouncing.Â
"Hey...everything's gonna be alright doll" He whispers to me, there was a few looks from the others in the waiting room, they knew who we were, luckily people were scared of Bucky, and would never come up to him.Â
"I hate the doctors" I whisper.Â
"I know doll, I hate 'em too" He whispers back.Â
Finally we were called in, I pulled Bucky's hand with me into the examination room, the Doctor I hadn't met before, but luckily she was a woman, I smiled faintly to her and she shook mine and Bucky's hand. I climbed onto the table and shut my eyes as the Doctor; Dr. Addams did her checks, once done she gave me a moment to dress. Once done, I sat nervously on the edge of the bed.Â
"You're definitely pregnant" Dr. Addams spoke. "I'd say around 8 weeks"Â
I didn't say much, but once Bucky and I could leave we did so, and got into his car. I stayed quiet on the drive home, not caring if anyone caught us getting out of the car together. Bucky followed me to my room, his hand never leaving mine as we did. Once in my room, and my door was shut I turned to him, tears falling down my cheeks again.Â
"So...we're pregnant" I say, leaning against the closed door of my room. Bucky stood in front of me.Â
"Yeah, doll...We're pregnant"Â
"I still don't know what to do" I whisper. Bucky lets out a shaky breath, his hand moving to take mine in his again. He looks at me, his expression a mixture of concern and uncertainty.Â
"Doll, I don't want to push you into anything, it's your choice in the end, but I just want you to know, that if you decide to keep it, I'm with you" He says, his voice so caring towards me. A few tears slipped from my eyes and onto my cheeks.Â
"Thank you Bucky" I whisper, as I step forward into his arms.Â
.ă»ă.ă»ăâă».ă»â«ă»ăă»ă.
Over the next week I spent a lot of time alone, thinking over my options. And I spent a lot of time crying, I had no idea what to do... At least I think I didn't. Only one option felt right, as scary as it sounded. I sighed and left my room, I walked through the compound until I found Bucky in the kitchen, along with Steve.. I sighed and walked over to the man.Â
"Hey, can I talk to you?" I ask him, receiving an eyebrow raise from Steve, probably confused at the kindness in my voice. This was probably the kindest I had ever been to Bucky in front of someone. Bucky stopped his conversation with Steve and looked to me, his eyes narrowed slightly, he studies my features and stands.Â
"Uh, yeah...sure"Â
He follows me into the hallway, I walk a bit further, not wanting Steve to hear our conversation. Once alone, I stood and looked up at Bucky.Â
"I've made a decision" I say quietly. I watch as his face changes into a inpatient expression, his body tensed, he reached forward taking my hand in his.Â
"Okay...what decision did you make, doll?" He asks, his voice a bit hoarse as he responds.Â
"I don't feel comfortable terminating...the baby...but I also don't like the idea of giving it away, so I want to keep it" I say confidently. I watch as Bucky's breath hitches in his throat, he said nothing for a few moments, stressing me out further.Â
"You...you want to keep it? Raise it?"
"I think so...Only if you promise you'll be there for us"Â
Bucky steps closer to me, his hands coming to rest on either side of my arms, holding me. "Doll, I promise you. I'll be there for you. For you and the baby, you won't do this along, I'm in it for the long haul, I'm never going anywhere"Â
I smile softly as he rambles, his eyes full of excitement.Â
"We should probably tell the team...wanna start with Steve first?" I ask, knowing telling the team was going to be...something else. Bucky nods eagerly, he takes my hand in his and pulls me back towards the kitchen. Steve looks at us, a quizzical look on his face as he sees us. He takes a sip of his coffee, which I look at longingly.Â
"Oh fuck, I miss coffee" I say, off track. Bucky chuckles and nudges me slightly.Â
"Right, yeah...Steve we have something to tell you" I say, Steve looks at the two of us, his eyes furrowed in confusion as he notices how closely we stood together. I watch as a hint of worry flashes in Steve's eyes, he puts his coffee down on the table, his attention completely on us.Â
"Okay, what's up?" He asks.Â
"Well it might be confusing, since Bucky and I are nothing but mean to one another.." I say, my words shaky as I talk.Â
"Wait... don't tell me, you two...are actually getting along?" Steve asks. I chuckle nervously.Â
"Not only do we get along...But I'm also pregnant" I say, my voice trembling.Â
Steve's jaw nearly hits the floor, his eyes flicker between the two of us.Â
"What? You're...you're pregnant? And..Bucky's...he's the father?" Steve asks.Â
"Yep" I reply quietly. I watch as Steve's face goes through a range of emotions as he absorbs the information. Surprise, worry, happiness, and confusion all flicker across his features in a matter of seconds. He looks back and forth between me and Bucky several times before speaking again.Â
"I...I don't know what to say...I had no idea you two were even able to have a conversation without insulting one another...let alone..having a child together" Steve says, his voice a little strong and stern. I shrink a little into myself, feeling a wave of emotions.Â
"We...we've been sleeping together, for a little while" Bucky says, his hand rubbing the back of his neck.Â
"This is a lot to take in" Steve says, he glances at Bucky, a myriad of questions in his eyes.Â
"Yeah...I get that" I say, mumbling. I hear as Bucky sighs, he probably knows Steve is close to telling him off, understandable to be fair.Â
"Bucky, I have to ask...how long has this been going on? And more importantly, when did you two start liking each other?" Steve asks, he reaches up to run a hand through his hair, usually his perfect tidy hair.Â
"It happened a few months ago" I say first. I look to Bucky seeing a blush creep over his features.Â
"Yeah...it was...unexpected" Bucky adds.Â
"It was actually one of our arguments that started...this" I say smirking, fondly looking over at the kitchen counter. Bucky chuckles and nods, a small smile playing on his lips as he catches where I was staring.Â
"Yeah..we got into a pretty heated argument one night...and somehow, things just escalated from there..." Bucky explained.Â
"And now I'm pregnant" I say again, taking a deep breath "And I'm an Avenger...Oh fuck, I'm gonna have to stop Avengering"Â
I whined as I spoke, it hadn't dawned on me yet. I frowned looking at Bucky. I watched Steve chuckle lightly.Â
"Yeah...I hate to say it, but with the risk involved, it's not safe for you to continue any missions whilst pregnant" Steve explained. I groaned and glared at Bucky. Bucky winces slightly at my look, he takes a step closer to me, raising his hand to my arm.Â
"Hey doll, it's not my fault! Steve's right, it's too dangerous" Bucky answers.Â
"It is your fault! You put your penis in me" I argued back. I watched as both Steve and Bucky's cheeks flushed red at my blunt statement, Bucky's eyes widen as Steve chokes on his coffee.Â
"I...yeah...I can't argue with that" Bucky chuckles nervously.Â
"I should probably tell Tony" I say groaning. Bucky grimaces, he lets out a low sigh, unsure of what Tony's reaction would be.Â
"Yeah...Stark's next on the list, he'll probably have a few questions"Â
"Let's hope he's not mad for losing two Avengers" I say, knowing Bucky would stop missions when the baby was born. Bucky's expression softens a little, he puts his hand on my lower back and pulls me against him.Â
"Hey...don't worry about Stark, he'll understand" Bucky reassures me.Â
"Yeah..right I'll go find him" I say, moving away from Bucky, I could tell him and Steve probably needed a chat, I left the kitchen and walked through the compound knowing I'd probably find Tony in the lab, I walked in seeing him and Bruce, I smiled hopping onto one of the stools they had in the room.Â
"Hi boys" I grin sweetly. They both glanced up from their tablets, smiling when they saw me. Tony walked to me, leaning on the desk in front of me.Â
"Well, well, look who it is" Tony smirked "Long time no see, what brings you to the lab?"Â
"I have something to tell you Tony...though Bruce you can know too" I say nervously. Tony raises an eyebrow, a look of intrigue on his face.Â
"Okay, I'm all ears kiddo"Â
I watch Bruce put his tools now, he walks to stand next to Tony, a worried look over his face, he could sense my nerves.Â
"I'm pregnant"Â
There's a beat of silence as Tony and Bruce process my words. Tony's eyes widen, his mouth falling open slightly. Bruce looked shocked as well, his eyebrows raised in surprise. Tony was the first to speak, his voice filled with a mix of surprise and curiosity.Â
"You're...you're pregnant. As in...having a baby...pregnant?" He asks. I chuckle slightly.Â
"Correct, that is what pregnant means" I answer, my sarcasm laced through my voice, the others would always tell me off for my British sarcasm, I couldn't help it however. I watched as Tony rolled his eyes, and Bruce scratched his chin.Â
"When you say you're pregnant, how far along are you? And..do we know the father?" Bruce asked.Â
"Uhh like 9 weeks" I say "And...yeah you... do know the father"Â
Tony's eyebrows shoot to the sky. He glances to Bruce and then back to me.Â
"I'm guessing it's not some random stranger...right? The father?" Tony asks.Â
"No..it's uhh...it's Bucky" I admit. The look of shock over their faces made me chuckle slightly. I almost regret keeping what Bucky and I had a secret, I had a lot of shocked looks coming in my future. Both men looked at me in utter shock, like they couldn't believe me.Â
"Wait..Bucky?! Bucky is the father? Barnes? That Barnes?!" Tony rambled.Â
"The very one"
Tony and Bruce exchanged another glance, both still in disbelief. Tony was the first to find his voice again, his mouth opening and closing a few times before he finally speaks.Â
"When...when did this happen? I thought you two couldn't stand each other"Â
"We've been sleeping together, for a few months...secretly" I explain, my cheeks flushing red.Â
"Months!" Tony near yells "You've been sleeping together for months? And now you're pregnant?"Â
"Basically yes" I say, smiling. It still felt weird hearing the word pregnant.Â
"I've gotta say, I was not expecting that, you really know how to shock us, don't ya?" Bruce chuckles.Â
"Yeah...sorry about that" I say quietly.Â
"Well congratulations" Bruce smiles at me, as he takes his glasses off, cleaning them.Â
"Yeah congratulations, who woulda thought, you and Bucky, together, with a baby" Tony says, his voice still dripping with disbelief.Â
"Yeah...thanks guys" I say smiling "Sorry about the whole not being an Avenger for a little while" I add with a sad smile, I loved going on missions.Â
"Don't worry kiddo, you have to look after yourself first" Tony grins.Â
I smile and hop off the stool, ready to go back to Bucky.Â
"Thanks men" I say as I turn around to leave.

Jaskierâs soul mark is a white wolf.
Yeah, heâs well aware of who that probably is.
Geralt was never on boardâwitcher soulmarks faded with the trials, so he didnât have a corresponding oneâbut that hadnât discouraged the bard.
At least, it hadnât until the mountain.
He finally got the message when it was yelled in his face. Either heâd majorly misinterpreted who his soulmate was, or his soulmate hated him.
Then, there was the whole confusing mess where Geralt asked for his help and had him take Ciri to Kaer Morhen.
It was in the witcher keep that Geralt approached him about the soul mark.
For some reason, this made Jaskier FURIOUS.
What? Geralt gets to dismiss the mark, dismiss Jaskier, and then come back like itâs nothing?
More than a little petty, Jaskier responds to Geralt by saying, âWell, we donât know that this mark is for you.â
âWhat?â
âYouâre not the only wolf with white hair. For all we know, Vesemirâs my soulmate.â
âWHATâ
The keeper of Kaer Morhen pauses, considers the bard, and then he shrugs. âI suppose I could be.â
âWHAT?!?â
âMine,â Geralt muttered, his voice low and possessive as something primal surged within him. Without hesitation, he scooped Jaskier into his arms.
âWhaâGeralt, what are you doing?â Jaskier yelped, wriggling in protest as Geralt carried him away, ignoring the lack of intervention from the other witcher. âPut me down, you brute!â
âMine,â Geralt growled again, his tone brooking no argument. Jaskier was his soulmate, not anyone elseâsânot any other White Wolfâs.
When they reached his room, Geralt unceremoniously tossed Jaskier onto the fur-draped bed. His amber eyes burned with intent as he repeated, âMine.â

Mouthwashing and fandom discourse as a whole.
So I recently explored the tag for Mouthwashing after watching two no-commentary lets plays of the entire game. I'm seeing a lot of posts pointing out how annoying it is that this game has a fandom and that this fandom is doing fandom things and stanning/"uwu-ing" characters from this incredibly nuanced, raw and not-fandom friendly piece of art. To paraphrase someone I just saw "you don't want mouthwashing; you want Among Us ocs but darker". And
for a moment I wanna talk a bit about how I absolutely agree with this statement while also talk for a moment about how and why fandom and catharsis fan fics exist and shouldn't be shamed inherently. Or, I guess, not in theory.
The "come on! Stop trying to make everything shippable/cutsey/memey/have a happy AU and face unpleasant emotions someone's trying to tell you about!" is SUCH a vibe with me. I felt this way in the 9 fandom a lot as a kid and that was just 9. Mouthwashing is like 9 on bathsalts emotions and theme-wise. It's a game where you play as both the flawed but caring captain of a doomed ship who's life becomes a Johnny Got His Gun-nightmare, and also a deplorable, hateful piece of garbage who got himself and his friend in that nightmare situation to begin with. Both characters, moreso Jimmy but Curly too, are the causes of their own misery. They're complex dealing with one of the two committing SA and doing nothing really about it/dodging the responsibility and humanity needed to support the victim whom they've wronged.
I fully admit it's groan-inducing seeing people be shipped up Anya with anyone on the ship considering what happens to her. On a pure pr level I think it would be illegal even since romance between coworkers in a workplace is considered conflict of interest/harassment as it so often is. (NOT that what Jimmy did to Anya is 'romance'. I'm talking about the shipping of Anya with the other three guys. I know there's people out there who do ship Jimmy/Anya; you don't have to tell or show me I believe you and also I already hate it.) It's ALSO groan inducing to see people ship Curly and Jimmy considering all Curly does to him- and just the fact that this incredibly tragic, toxic one-way-gone array friendship is reduced to "toxic yaoi teehee". It's annoying AT BEST.
I get the hostility towards fandom-tastic stanning and fandom behavior in general...the issue is it's still hostility and I wish some of you guys got that. Like it or not (you don't have to like it) fandom culture is inevitable to some degree. You can and should complain about your hangups but that's all you can do besides avoiding tags and just not engaging with that side of the fandom at some point. Save your call-outs and rage for when you see active deplorable bs being committed that people are excusing for dumb fandom reasons, like lolicon, hatespeech or harassment. I'm sorry but you can not actively go after and try and take down the innocent people involved in your trigger that aren't directly hurting you by liking the thing that triggers you; ie. people who get all shipping and fandom-brained about Mouthwashing's characters which you find offensive to do at all.
This type of convo is the crux of most 'antifandom' v profandom discourse in general; for Antis I think there ought to be a difference between the people that set you off bcuz of fandom nonsense vs sociopathic 'got mine'-creepiness. There's a difference between someone who draws r34 v Shadbase. For profandom types you out to face the fact that yes- maybe NOT EVERYTHING is meant to be shippable/memed. Maybe try practicing that a bit. Yeah it's most harmless and makes you feel happy, but considering how people outside of your hyperfixation-of-a-hyperfixation is a thing. The thing about the "don't like, don't read" argument is it goes both ways. If you're truly a "good fan" like you say you are than you have to realize that people will not like your problematicisms. Learn to interact with characters and stories without the possibility of shipping sometimes- or at least understand that that's the crux of what makes a story like Mouthwashing engaging, even if you also partake in the fandumb and AUs on the side. You can call Curly your babygirl and ship him or make him happy all you want but PLEASE acoknowledge that the game doesn't woobify him or excuse what he did to Anya as well. You can make some kind of AU scenario where Jimmy gets out somehow and becomes/is a slightly better person for all I care...so long as you PLEASE remember that he is canonically a r@pist and awful. Also, even if I'm okay with your fan decisions, note that myself and others are still going to be critical and be upset that you wrote it at all because of what kind of character Jimmy is. 'Critical' =/= declaring something evil.
Fandom behaviors are not souly a destructive parasocial outcome of brainrot; they're also a natural reaction to what happens canonically and the emotions you have to experiencing a story. It's normal and rational to sympathize and love Curly and despise and hate Jimmy. You can love/like/enjoy a problematic-to-DEEPLY DISTURBED-character based on their complexity in canon. They are fiction. They are not real. The reason you are so invested with them is because of that complexity and yes because they are fiction they are your 'toy' and you can doll them up in any kind of speculative AU crap you make. That's fanfiction, baby. Make yourself a fixit fic if you really want
BUT-
remember: it stays as a fixit fic. DO NOT cross the streams, or insist that your active misreading of the text is the same as the text itself. EVER. You should care about your special interest's escapism as a means of self-care. What you shouldn't do is demand that EVERYONE ELSE LOVE your coping mechanism and that any complaints by people on their own terms on their own blogs is #badfaith or an inherent attack against you. It isn't. You'll know when it is an attack against you and that's when you, the profandom-type, need to be prepared and save your call-out posts and blocklist for.
To me that's the fragility to fandom debates and fandom as a whole. You can not/should not police or control an entire group of people and how they perceive or interact with media. That's not fair and it's definitely not sporting or decent of you in a community. You have to share your community -your fandom- with people who hate ur fav and people who love your least fav. Agreeing to disagree means not tagging your nOTP as their shipname or by tagging your shipname loud and clear. It means filtering out posts with those topics but enjoying and/or reblogging the fandom takes you do share with your fellow fandom-mite that obviously posts abt those topics.
When schmit REALLY goes down and some assface reviewer/fan/SOMETHING is being an assface or doing something amoral under the guise of fandom-ing, that's where you out to put your foot down. Callouts and complaints are for people who did an egregious thing and refuse to take responsibility(lol) for it. They're not for "soandso likes the thing that triggers me, kill them"/"so and so is hating on the thing I'm kinning because it triggers them, kill them". Be an adult.
Your DNI lists should consist of "lolicon defenders" not "proshippers", as those ARE NOT one in the same. Same goes the other way around. List off "bigots, purity culture bs", not "antis and critics". These positions ARE NOT interchangeable. If you make them interchangeable than you're making things a lot harder for yourself.
-sincerely, a message from autistic ADHD/OCD woman who likes horror and media analysis as much as she loves popcorn fanfic schlock.
We don't all have to be friends and buddybuds. I just hate us hurting each other over being different kind of fandom-folk rather than for when someone sincerely mucks up and does something bad. Can't we all stick to our guns and just boycott Harry Potter like god intended?

Sunnieeee babyyy what do we think about femjay and marriage? Yay or nay? Does she even want to get married? Is she wife-ing you up or is she waiting for you to pop the question? Elopement or ceremony? WHERE does she take you for your honeymoon đŒ
ooooh so i've been sitting on this ask for a bit (mostly because i start thinking about fem!jay in a tux and my brain stops working) but i love this question so much.
the question, of course, depends on when you ask her. at 15, it's an emphatic no. she hates the way that the question gets asked by the upper crust busybodies because she knows it's always with some strange faceless man in mind waiting for her at the altar. never mind that jay's never shown interest in a boy but her best friend, the assumption is there and she hates it.
at 21, fresh out of the pit and off a revenge streak, she'd laugh in your face (and riddle you with bullets, depending on who's doing the asking). she's the big bad red hood, you think she's gonna settle down? think she'd hand over her empire for a little ring and a bit of paper? fat chance. marriage didn't save her mother from a husband that was never around. talia's still pinning her hopes on a one day maybe. jay's got plans and none of those include marriage. who'd want her anyway?
you ask her when she's 23 and happily in love for the first time, well that's a different story. she's still got her hangups - the past doesn't let go so easily - but she wants to know why you want this. you start with the practical, legal reasons first. you're a vigilante and yeah you might get most of your medical treatment from secret facilities but i want to be allowed in the room for all the times you end up in the hospital. i might be under the hood's extra legal protections but there's a comfort in being legally tied to you too. then you move on to the emotional ones. i want to bring our families together to celebrate us. i want to stand up in front of the world and declare that i'm yours and you're mine. and well, it's everything that jay didn't know she wanted. answers the greedy, grasping parts of her hindbrain at the thought of publicly branding herself as yours and whoops suddenly the apartment is full of wedding planning materials. spring you said?
you asked, but she proposes. applies all her tactical knowledge to planning the perfect, meaningful proposal. she enlists the help of all of her many siblings, and thankfully it all goes to plan. she still manages to surprise you, jolts you into happy tears when she gets down on one knee and pulls out two matching rings.
the engagement goes off without a hitch, but the wedding? that very quickly spirals out of control. everyone has an opinion and your head's spinning with tablescape designs and flower arrangements and jay wants to help but she's worried about being just another opinion shouting in your ear. so jay calls in some favours from clark to borrow a photographer and gets you to clear the rest of your weekend. she takes you shopping with bruce's credit card, a fun little white cocktail dress she has you wear out of the store and into the courthouse. the two of you get married right there, with only the courthouse judge and two random witnesses you kidnap from the corridors. it's done! you two are married, and it's like this great weight is lifted from both of you. Mrs. and Mrs. Todd. The ceremony, the great tentpole party, that's for everyone else but this bit is just for the two of you.
your public ceremony is the event of Gotham society's year. even the daily globe over in metropolis prints a feature on it. but jay doesn't care because her wife - her wife! - is holding her hand and kissing her to the cheers of both of their families.
(tbh i don't think the honeymoon location matters so much because she is not letting you leave the bed for three days straight after đ€)

Jealous - Sam Carpenter
(Angst/Fluff)
-----------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
Prompt: Y/n gets jealous after she sees how Sam and Danny interact. On their way home, Y/n and Sam start to argue in the car.
Word Count: 1474
Also, Not Proofread đ
Masterlist
---------------------------------------------------------
Samâs foot slams down on the break and her head whips over to look at me. My eyes averting to the window, trying to avoid hers. âDid you seriously just say that?â Sam scoffs, looking at me expectantly. âYes.â I give a curt nod, crossing my arms.
âYouâre seriously starting a fight over this? Real mature.â Sam rolls her eyes, before turning her attention back to pulling out of the parking lot. âAre you kidding me Sam? I voiced my opinion on how I felt about Danny. If you canât have an adult conversation about feelings, pull over.â I huff, biting my cheek to hold back.
âYouâre getting jealous over our neighbor and Iâm the bad guy?â Sam letâs out a humorless chuckle. âWith the way you feed into his flirting,â I seethe, reaching to unbuckle my seatbelt but my wrist is caught by Sam before I could.
âI do not feed into his flirting! He doesnât even flirt with me!â Sam rolls her eyes again, adjusting her hold on my wrist into holding my hand. âHe does! And I donât wanna sit here and keep arguing about it if you arenât going to actually hear me.â My hand attempts to slip away from Samâs but she keeps her hold tight.
Sam pulls the car over on the side of the road, putting it in park before turning her attention to me. Her hand reaches over and gently turns my chin to look at her. She takes a deep breath, collecting her words as her deep brown eyes stare into mine, calculating how to react in a productive way. She lets out a breath before speaking as softly and lovingly as possible.
âIâm sorry if you feel like I wasnât listening to you. I didnât mean to make you feel that way. I just could never see Danny in that way, and it was just starting to frustrate me that I havenât made you feel secure enough to trust that.â Sam explains, softly caressing my cheek. âI love you, so much. I promise nothing is gonna happen between me and Danny. Nor has anything ever happened between us. And whatever you need me to do to help you feel secure in that, Iâll do it, no hesistation.â Sam whispers, kissing my cheek delicately. Her thumb softly rubbing along my cheekbone.
My bottom lip trembles a bit and I unbuckle my seatbelt so I can lean over and hug her easier. She wraps her arms around me the best she can with the middle console between us. My face tucked into the crook her neck. âIâm sorry for arguing, Sammy. I love you too.â My words muffled as I press my face into the soft cloth of her hoodie. She lets out a light chuckle, kissing the crown of my forehead, and softly rubbing circles on the small of my back.
âAre we okay?â She whispers. I nod, giving her neck a small kiss before pulling away. I reach up and caress her cheek. âI hate when we argue.â I mumble, leaning up to kiss her. She kisses back before she gently pushes me back into my seat, her arm reaching around me to grab my seatbelt and buckle me back in.
âI feel like I need to leash you. Youâre a flight risk.â Sam lightheartedly teases, moving back into position so she can drive. âIf you leash me, Iâll be even more tempted to run, just so you have to chase me.â I joke, poking her bicep.
âA new way for me to get my cardio in,â Sam plays along, a subtle grin poking the corner of her lips. Her eyes focusing on the road as she begins driving again. âYeah? And what if I drop to the floor and refuse to move?â I hypothesize, a cheeky grin on my face.
âYou know I have no problem with carrying you,â Sam jests, entertwining her free hand with mine. âYeah and that definitely wonât look strange to a passersby,â I tease, lifting our hands so I can kiss the back of Samâs.
âI wouldnât be too concerned with them,â Sam says, a subtle smirk lifting her lips. âOh yeah? And whyâs that?â I ask, playing with the fingers of her free hand as she drives. âIâd be too busy thinking about your punishment for being a brat in public,â Sam smirks, her hand slipping from mine to caress my upper thigh, her cold rings causing a pleasurable shiver to run straight to my core.
âWhat kind of punishment?â I ask, biting my lower lip as the prurient actions of her hand run higher up my thigh. Her fingers tease up and under my skirt, her hand moving to cup my core over my panties, fingers running over the dampened fabric, rolling around my clit, leaving me with a desperate desire in my lower half.
âThinking about you bent over my lap, and me, spanking your pretty little ass red.â Sam licks her lips, her dark eyes focused on the road as she drives. I squirm in my seat, her amorous words making my desire grow tenfold. The drive had begun to feel like hours despite only being minutes. Her words creating an image in my mind that I wanted desperately to recreate.
âYou like that idea, huh, pretty girl?â Sam teases, her hand slipping under my panties, her finger swiping through my folds feeling the surplus of wetness. âMhm~,â I let out a soft moan at her actions, my hips bucking towards her hand but before I can even hope for more, her hand is crudely swiped away. My eyes dart over to her, watching as her finger slips between her lips, tongue swirling around her digit, licking it clean as she hums at the taste. Her eyes momentarily closing before glancing at me with a dark look that I knew well.
âGod, I canât wait to get you home, honey.â Samâs hand moves back to grab my thigh and give it a light squeeze. âDrive faster,â I mumble, flustered by the older woman. My cheeks a shade of red and my thighs clenching together.
âYou donât get to make demands, baby,â Sam smirks, her fingers teasing up and down my thigh. The torturous teasing continued as Sam drove us back home. When she finally parked the car, I was quick to remove my seatbelt and get out of the car.
âSomeoneâs eager,â Sam teases, slapping my ass I walk passed her to go into the lobby of the apartment building. âYou canât tease me and expect me not to dart off,â I call to her, glancing back with a mischievous smirk. I giggle as I walk faster to the elevator. âLike I said, flight risk.â Sam calls back with a grin, easily catching up with longer strides. When she gets in the elevator with me, she presses the button for our floor, waiting until the doors closed to strike. When we start to descend up, Sam pins me against the cool metal of the wall, one hand on my hip, the other resting beside my head. âMaybe the leash could still be in play here,â Sam teases. I blush as I reach up to tug her collar down for a kiss. It starts out slow but quickly heats into something much more passionate. Sadly being interrupted by the ding of the elevator doors opening.
âCome on,â Sam whispers, grabbing my hand in hers to guide us down the hallway to our apartment. I kissed along her shoulder as she unlocked the front door, âYou canât wait, can you?â Sam teases, giving a light teasing pinch to my behind as I walk through the door. I give a small yelp at the pinch, playfully smacking her hand as I turn around. âAdmit it, you canât either.â I muse, watching as she locks the door back up before she turns to me.
âOh, baby, I never said I could.â Sam smirks, coming closer and wrapping her arms around my waist. She taps my thighs, signally me to jump. I comply and Sam easily lifts me. My legs wrapping around her waist, arms around the back of her neck as her hands rest on my ass. I playfully raise an eyebrow at her hand placement. Sam catches the look and lets out a small huff of laughter, âCanât blame me, that skirt does things to me.â
I playfully roll my eyes at her words, kiss her cheek sweetly. âCarry me to bed already,â I tease, âThen I can do other things to you in this skirt.â Sam laughs and gives my ass a small squeeze before starting to make carry me to our bedroom. The rest of the night filled with Sam proving me to that I had absolutely no reason to be jealous over some dude.

Overall, Agatha All Along was a nice watch.
I struggled to connect with a couple of the characters due to some of the writing, including William/Billy which made things a tad difficult as he was so central to the plot and reveal tbh, but oh well. The cast were ALL great in their roles though.
Overall -- I dug the show.
Felt at first like there was a lot more emotional depth to mine from and they only sort of scratched the surface in exchange for an easy to digest 'fun' tale for the casual Marvel viewer for most of the show, but they really got deep with it in the last three eps, to my surprise and enjoyment.
Sooo yeah, Agatha really is a tragic figure and sympathetic "villain".
If I'm remembering her backstory correctly (sorry, been a bit distracted with a lot of work and life stuff while watching this show and am trying to remember the specifics set up in WandaVision) -- her awful mother basically created a self-fulfilling prophecy, ffs.
Believing Agatha was incapable of good (we've seen otherwise) and thinking she had to DIE for the supposed betrayal of her coven by practicing dark magic.. it simply set in motion BY her mother. The series of events that pushed Agatha to go dark and fight back in order to survive after her own mother ignored her desperate pleas to spare her as she burned alive...
Everything Agatha did after that, while yes it was her own choosing at the end of the day, was ultimately the result of that trauma and hate for fellow witches. The ironic price she had to pay for seeking to take as much power as possible after hers was threatened by her own mother and fellow witches -- was her own child. So basically, she was harmed -- and she harmed back. Not okay, but empathy makes you try to at last understand why she did what she did and feel bad for what she went through, even if it's not an excuse for her actions. But either way, had to suffer for it. It's sorta like someone sucker punches you, so you knock 'em out cold, and then YOU go to jail. Sigh.
Also, it's petty tragic that the only genuine love she's ever known was Rio (death herself). And it seems they produced a child together (?) whom she then tragically lost. It's just irony and tragedy wrapped in irony and tragedy. Sad shit.
Anyway, I'm glad to see "Agathario" was full canon, however tragic (for now) their "ending" was. Hopeful for further exploration of them in the future. But for now, for Marvel/Disney of all companies to be the one to allow a LEAD sapphic ship with a complicated history and dark dynamics to be a canon thing? Surprising, and kudos.

Go ahead, rip my heart out
Part 2 of the make it worse before it gets better (part 1 here | ao3)
rated: t | wc: 1283
There was a little bit of a whirlwind once they knew what was going on. Maddie was going to call Chimney while Eddie let Bobby know, and then the message would get passed on to Hen.
Bobby and Athena were the first to arrive, followed by Chimney, followed by Hen. It felt all too familiar, gathering together in a hospital waiting room sharing information while waiting for news on Buck.
"What even happened?" Hen asked, looking between Eddie and Maddie. "Have you called Tommy?"
Eddie sighed, hating that he was going to have to break the news. "Buck came over to mine last night after Tommy broke up with him. We split a six pack and he slept on my couch. When I woke up this morning he was having cardiac symptoms so I called for an ambulance and here we are."
"They're still doing testing but the doctors think it's broken heart syndrome." Maddie added.
"Is that even a real thing?" Athena asked after a beat of silence.
"The clinical name is takotsubo cardiomyopathy. It's a sudden weakening of a the heart muscle." Hen explained, sounding like she was repeating verbatim something she had read in a medical textbook when she was in medical school.
"Yeah." Maddie replied, nodding at Hen. "It's often caused by sudden physical or emotional stress. Like the loss of a loved one or a break up. That's why it's called broken heart syndrome."
read more below the cut or on ao3
Once Buck was done with the testing and was allowed visitors, Eddie, Maddie, and Bobby joined Buck to hear what the doctors had to say.
"The scans we have done are showing an enlargement of the left ventricle, which is the standard presentation of takotsubo cardiomyopathy. We're going to need to keep you in for a few days, for continued monitoring, but the outlook is good."
"What does it mean for work? I'm a firefighter." Buck asked, still sounding a little out of breath but nowhere near as bad as he had before Eddie had called 911.
"Well, you are going to be out for a while. Maybe on light duty behind a desk for a few months. But the majority of people recover to full health. The heart muscle usually heals within a month, and it's generally around two months for patients to get back to full health. We will continue monitoring, so you won't be able to return to full duty until you have received the all clear from us."
"What is the chance of recurrence?" Maddie asked, sounding a little worried.
"Recurrence is seen in the region of 4 to 10 percent of cases, and there is no solid way to guarantee prevention. But we recommend eating well, sleeping well, regular exercise. If you haven't already, maybe look into therapy to talk about the emotional stressors both on and off the job."
"I have been in therapy, but not for a while. I guess I need to call Doctor Copeland." Buck sighed. "What about complications?"
"That was going to be my next point. Complications are rare, but as a precaution we will be starting you on blood thinners, because of your history of blood clots. The complication we are most concerned about in your case is a blood clot in the heart wall."
"Great." Buck slumped back into his pillows, seeming defeated.
"I'll give you some time. A nurse will be in shortly with your medication." The doctor said, before leaving the room.
"Buck, as soon as you're cleared medically, you can come back. If you're still on blood thinners, it won't be a deal breaker. I won't make that same mistake again." Bobby assured him.
"It's not." Buck sighed. "It's just hitting all the greatest hits right now. Someone I love has left me again, god I've lost count of how many times that has happened. I'm back on blood thinners, like after my leg was crushed. Worried about my heart health, like after the lightning strike. I just can't help wondering what's next?"
--
Working without Buck felt strange. They were back on shift a couple of days after Buck had been admitted to the hospital, and everything just felt slightly off. Eddie knew that they all should be used to working down a man between all the injuries and health scares they'd accumulated over the years, or all the times personal reasons had kept them off the job, like the months he was working at dispatch as a liaison. Hell, they hadn't long had Bobby back at the head of the 118. But Buck, he was the glue that held their family together. Eddie had heard the stories from before he'd joined, before Buck had joined. People had been friends, but not family. It had been Buck's stubbornness and huge heart that had turned the station into a family.
And he couldn't help worrying. What if something else happened to Buck? Sure, Buck was in hospital, and it was the best place for him to be. And he was already responding to the treatment. But there was always that what if. Everyone else had told him that Buck would be okay, that the doctor had assured them that he would make a full recovery. But they hadn't seen him. Only Eddie had seen how he'd been that morning. How terrifying it had been to see his best friend in so much pain, not knowing what was going on.
The only thing keeping him going was knowing that Buck would never be alone for long. Even while they were on shift, there was a revolving cast of friends and family that would continue to check in on him. Maddie, Athena, Karen, Carla, Pepa, Josh, Linda, Sue. People that could stop by for a few minutes, others for a longer visit. Somewhat replicating what had happened when Buck was recovering from the lightning strike, but more to keep him company while he was in the hospital than having people constantly on his doorstep to check in without actually letting him rest.
--
It was a four alarm fire at an apartment complex near the end of shift. There were so many houses on scene, Eddie tried to focus on the job rather than trying to figure out who else was involved. He had noticed the 217 engine, and could only hope that Tommy was on air support. He wasn't ready to have that conversation. Hell, he wasn't sure he would be able to have that conversation without it turning to anger. What could he even say to the man who had just broken his best friend's heart so bad it had landed him in the hospital.
"Diaz." He was just packing down the equipment at the end when he was approached by one of the 133 paramedics. "How's Buckley doing?"
"Better. He's responding to treatment, still in hospital." Eddie replied.
"That's good to hear, we were pretty worried about him. Thought it could be some delayed reaction to the lightning."
"No. It- uh-it's a type of cardiomyopathy." Eddie said, choosing his words carefully. Not wanting to share too many details of Buck's health. "The doctor said he should make a full recovery within a few months."
"Nothing keeps you guys at the 118 down for long. Let him know we're all thinking about him."
"Will do, thanks man." Eddie nodded and the paramedic left to join the rest of the 133.
Eddie finished loading the equipment back into the engine, and made to get in, when he noticed Tommy standing a few feet away. He didn't want to acknowledge him, but Tommy beat him to it.
"Eddie," Tommy's voice sounded a little hoarse, a slightly distant look on his face. "Where's Evan?"

little hands
genre: fluff, playful banter, butterflies (digest them), drabble, unviersity au, one mention of mingyu, skewed perceptions of height, reader is 5'4 but you can make them any height tbh, reader hate bugs
âso are you actually afraid of bugs?â wonwoo asked from across the table.
âi donât like bugs that are big or creepy looking. thereâs a difference,â you told him.
the two of you were eating in your guysâ university cafeteria, waiting for time to pass before you head over to your next class. you both werenât necessarily friends but you had a lot of classes together and you had mutual friends. because of this, the two of you started getting to know each other since you saw each other everyday.
âbut those are the best kind,â he says. you look at him with your nose scrunched in disgust.
âoh, are you the type that likes bugs?â you ask him, wondering if he was offended by your blatant dislike for insects.
âi mean, i donât like them but theyâre cool, i guess,â he says, shrugging his shoulders.
âwell big bugs are gross, there was literally a spider as big as my hand and i couldnât even look at it after the first time,â you shiver from your memory. he smiles at you finding your dislike for bugs amusing.
âyou probably have little hands anyways,â he dismisses your experience. you look at him in shock.
âexcuse me? i like to think i have average sized hands,â you argued, looking slightly offended at your attacker.
âyeah, for a girl,â he chuckles. your eyes narrow at him.
âyour hands shouldnât even be much bigger than mine,â you retort. âarenât you only a little taller than me?â
he looks at you as if you had grown another head. âhow tall are you?â
â5â4, what about you?â you ask him confused.
â6 feet.â
âyouâre lyingg,â you accused him. he looks at you in shock.
âi swear,â he promises. you stare at him as you look from his eyes to the top of his head.
âyou look like youâd be 5â8 or something,â you say. âproof or i wonât believe you.â
âi am not that short and what proof?â he asks.
âbring a tape measure.â
âwho brings a tape measure to school?â he complains, offended that you thought he was that short.
â5â8 isnât even short. isnât that the average male height?â you argue. he sighed with disgruntled look on his face. âalso, you would bring a tape measure if you wanted to prove your TRUE height. i need proof or else youâll forever be 5â8 in my mind.â
âi actually hate that.â
âsounds like a personal problem?â you shrugged off his troubles.
âyouâre a punk.â
he continues to stare at you with a blank look on his face. you look away from the unconscious staring match. you look back over to him when you hear him get up.
âwhat do you think 6 feet looks like?â he asks, standing at his full height. even as you looked at him now he didnât really seem that tall, especially compared to your mutual friend, mingyu.
you get up from your seat on your side of the table and hold your hand up about 8ish inches above your head.
âi feel like if you were 6 feet i would need to tilt my head to look at you.â you tell him. he continues to stare at you. âand look iâm not tilting my head, am i?â
he stays quiet, before walking over to your side of the table. as he got closer you noticed the top of his head actually was reaching where you had put your hand. he stopped right before your hand, which was held just a little bit in front of you. your hand almost brushing against his fluffy hair that was tousled from the wind and him brushing his hand through his hair so much.
there were three things you realized at this point.
1. he actually could be 6 feet and your perception of 6 feet was, more likely than not, skewed.
2. he was really close to you.
3. he was REALLY close to your face.
out of the whole time you knew him for this semester, this was the closest you two have ever been. it definitely made you feel butterflies in your stomach from the proximity. it doesnât help that your playful banter has been happening more.
âseems like i am 6 feet based off what you think 6 feet looks like,â he smiles at you. you snap out of the trance you were in and pout at him.
âfine, i guess you are 6 feet, probably,â you accepted your defeat. you were happy that he didnât take notice of you zoning out. âthat probably means i do have little hands then.â
âthatâs fine, you have nice little hands,â he states nonchalantly.

âthey donât work out their issues. they donât discuss any of their issues. they are forced to work together because vanderâs situation provides urgency. and then they insult each other and slap fight without explaining why they did what they did, whatâs been going through their minds, why theyâre angry at each other. they donât communicate at all.â
Youâve never had siblings have you? Or if you have.. youâve never gotten into actual fights with them have you?
Vi isnât âforcedâ to do anything. She CHOOSES to go with Jinx. And the Vander situation is a problem, yes, but itâs not URGENT. If it was they wouldnât be casually strolling through the caves. And this is where they TRULY come to blows. The big epic fight earlier was just spectacle. THIS is the fight between sisters. And itâs raw and silly and childish. Thatâs the point of it.
And again. You donât need to SAY why you did anything. Vi learns Mir about Jinx as a person by how she interacts with Isha than she does taking to her. Itâs also no secret that during their little brawl in the caves on a mission to save Vander, Vi accidentally hurts Isha (Jinxâs personification) just as she did when she punched Powder back in season 1. This is very deliberate storytelling parallels.
Also, screenwriting 101: characters never just say what they mean. Cuz thatâs just boring and uninteresting. Scenes are more interesting when characters canât say what they want to say, so they talk about other issues to make up for it. All dialogue should HINT at what they really want. The tussle in the mines is far more authentic and realistic than the over the top brawl they had in the pipe works.
Take the note they find from Vander to Silco. Jinx reads it out loud and then comments about how if Silco had found it maybe things wouldâve been different. And in that moment Vi raises her hand and wants to touch Jinxâs shoulder but canât quite bring herself to do it yet. Because that moment isnât REALLY about Vander and Silco. Itâs about Jinx and Vi. Say one thing, but mean another. Thatâs GOOD scriptwriting.
âSheâs not exactly a dictator in the traditional senseâ
Okay stop right there. If sheâs not a dictator in the traditional sense then sheâs not a god damn dictator. End of story. Stop trying to justify her being one when you freely admit she is not one.
The show repeatedly shows that despite her being hardened and angry and doing these things out of fear and hate⊠she ultimately doesnât want to. Has she been impressing Zaun even more than before? Absolutely. But is she also chastising Ambessaâs guard for instigating violence and calling out Ambessaâs justification for more violence? Absolutely as well.
Caitlyn is an oppressive authority figure clouded in privileged and doing what sheâs doing because of hate and fear and anger. Yes. 100% no getting around that. But sheâs not a dictator. And she doesnât WANT to be a dictator. She was thrust into this position through peer pressure and manipulation just like Jayce was when he became a counselor. And sheâs been looking for an excuse to get out of it for a while too. Maddie says as much in bed.
And remember Vi? When Caitlyn is sad after her mother died, she refers to Vi as the person who calms her down and guides her through things. Vi is who she breaks down and cries with. Vi is who she listens to when things get more dangerous in the pipe works. Thereâs a reason why when Vi shows up again, Caitlyn is all too willing to help her out. Especially if it means she can get rid of Ambessa and save VIâs father in the process.
This show is filled with nuance and morally grey characters. So when you reduce them to binary black and white roles and call them dictators, yeah thatâs not gonna jive well when they do stuff contrary to that binary. Thatâs what Iâm calling you out for and why I insist you donât refer to Caitlyn as a dictator. Because calling her a dictator erases her moral complexity and ignores everything that happened in season 1. You are flattening out her character so you can whine.
âHextech didnât break them apart, systemic oppression didâ
No⊠hextech broke them apart. The bomb Powder used in season 1 was hextech. It happened at the exact same time Jayce and Viktor were experimenting and their experiments resulted in teleportation magic. And if you watch closely when the explosion goes off, there are pieces of debris and rubble that get teleported through the door and end up killing the two boys. As weâve learned this season, all Hextech devices are linked. It was Jayce and Viktor tampering with Hextech that resulted in the bomb going off being so devastating to Vi and Powderâs family.
Additionally, the explosion at the beginning of the show that sets everything in motion is Hextech. Yes they were infiltrating Jayceâs workshop because of systemic inequality, but thatâs a background detail to explain why. Itâs not the inciting incident that started it all. Thatâs the hextech gem explosion. The show begins with Hextech being volatile and dangerous and thatâs the reoccurring conundrum throughout the entire show. Everybody wants this power and they use their positions of inequality and oppression to get it. Again⊠thatâs the inequality being a background excuse, but not the driving force.
âHow does Vander being alive fix everything?â
Because thatâs the rift that broke Powder and Vi apart. Itâs because of Powderâs bomb that Vander died. Itâs because Vander died that Vi hurt Powder and started her on this path to becoming Jinx. It was the inciding incident that broke them apart.
Vander being alive means they can heal their rift. Vander being alive means Powder didnât kill him. Finding Vander and bringing him back allows Vi to forgive Powder for what she did. Like Jinx says âmaybe this is a do-over.â
Vander is their father. Having him back means they donât have to fight anymore. They donât have to try to kill each other anymore. It means Jinx can heal and become herself again. Vi can forgive Jinx. Etc etc.
This is like one of the biggest moments in the show. That you seem to put so little emphasis on its importance and canât understand why Vander being alive could heal their rift is sad.
You seem like the type of person who needs characters to just say what they mean literally or else you donât understand whatâs happening. Body language, voice acting, dialogue, shot composition and framing⊠you seem to IGNORE all of that and complain that characters just donât sit down and talk one on one with each other. You donât seem to understand or respect the craft of the show.
When a character says something but means something else, you seem like you only take things at face value and canât comprehend that they might be lying, or saying meaning something else.
Take the moment when Sallow is rolled in on a wheelchair demanding they go to war with the undercity. Mel clocks that this is not how Sallow talks. And since he was rolled out by Ambessa, itâs made very clear that itâs Ambessa whoâs ACTUALLY talking in the scene. Even though she never says a word. I wonder.. how did you read that scene? Did you pick up on Mel playing chess with her mother? Or did you think she was actually addressing Sallow the whole time?
I donât know what else to tell you dude. Youâre not wrong that systemic oppression and power dynamics play a significant role in the showâs message. I would just argue that itâs not the MAIN FOCUS of the show and has never been. Itâs window dressing at best. The main focus has always been how attempts to do good for love and for family can result in doing terrible awful things.
As Victor puts it âwe lost ourselves. Lost our dreams. In our attempt to save the world we failed to do good.â
I find it hilarious when the show called ARCANE starts talking about the ARCANE and the ARCANE starts having a more prominent role in the trajectory of the show named ARCANE that people are only now complaining about âloreâ being added to the show.
Like, my dudes⊠the show was about the ARCANE. Now that itâs reacting and developing and becoming the big thing the whole show is heading towards⊠NOW youâre worried about the âloreâ messing things up??!
Hahah
Sorry guys. I know we started with class inequality, and thatâs definitely a theme of the show⊠but the TRUE star has ALWAYS been the ARCANE and how it reacts to the events around it.
They wouldnât have named the show ARCANE if they werenât going to address the ARCANE.

hehe ghost-turbo haunting felix au
turbo is connected to the last piece of his code in the whole arcade - a trophy he gifted to felix in mid 80s as a symbol of him genuinely caring about their relationships on par with being the best racer. felix also gave him one of his medals and both kept their gifts next to other rewards, but when roadblasters and turbotime were unplugged, the medal was gone with everything else
now, after burning in cola-lava turbo is basically dead, but scraps of his code still were intertwined with the trophy (after all, it was his first winner's cup, but felix never knew about it), giving turbo an opportunity to exist as a shadow incapable of interacting with anything and anyone besides felix, who kept the trophy even after the roadblasters incident
also I went crazy in tags, feel free to check them out
#turbo#turbotastic#fix it felix jr#80s boyfriends#hammertastic#headcanon about them exchanging their trophies isn't mine but i loved it A LOT#and âdarlingâ is turbo making fun of how felix was calling him in 80s#this hc about âdollâ and âdarlingâ pet names also is not mine but i adore it#turbo here is a complete freak who just stays around felix most of the time even when felix has moments with calhoun#and felix is an ass who keeps secrets from everyone bc he doesn't want his dirt to come out#he's ashamed of his previous relationship with turbo and doesn't want anyone to know any details#and calhoun to just know about it#this just gets worse and worse#they also didn't actually break up and were still technically dating when turbo went gamejumping#and he's mad af at felix because he's the reason ppl in the acrade made a boogeyman out of turbo and he couldn't come back#like imagine your bf says to you what you are better than others think of you#and then behind your (presumably dead) back tells everyone that you're just an egocentric maniac#i believe turbo has other reasons why he gamejumped (besides jealousy which took place but wasn't the most important reason)#and felix is an unreliable narrator#so yeah turbo HATES his ass#(but still would-) no im not making it suggestive#anyway i hc that turbo had put A LOT of emotions in this relationship even tho he's bad at this#he tried his best with felix but they were just making each other worse#and turbo while feeling betrayed never really moved on (yes even after 25 years he's PATHETIC)#and felix is just full of regret about everything but he won't admit his mistakes in his relationship with turbo#bc âwell he turned out to be a bad person so that automatically makes me in the right about everythingâ#but felix had made a lot of bad decisions while dating turbo and was just classically ignorant about a ton of things#sorry about this random ass essay in tags i'm done for now#wreck it ralph#wir

One thing I like about Apollo in Hades 2 is that he is usually polite, especially respectful towards his elders, but if they provoke him he will get back at them. But in a subtle manner, and only after a few seconds will you realise that he was throwing shade.
I'm paraphrasing here but here are two examples:
Hera: you are just like Zeus (derogatory)
Apollo: did you just compare me to your husband ? How awfully kind of you :)
Poseidon: haha Apollo has finally decided to join the war because he couldn't withstand the pressure from his dear mortals anymore
Apollo: it's because I want to help you, uncle! since I know that you guys cannot handle this situation on your own :)
#there's one between Demeter and Apollo#where Demeter says âoh the reason mortals are so ignoble is because they aspire to be like Apolloâ#and Apollo is like âWHOA lady!! what did *I* do?! lets just focus on our dire situation instead of insulting each other yeah?â#i hate that they've turned Demeter into a cynical hateful grandma :/#but if i was in Apollo's place Demeter would have heard some colorful words from me#but anyway i like that they have made Apollo be respectful towards other Olympians#i think that is pretty accurate#I'm actually dying to know more about how they're gonna represent Apollo - Artemis and Apollo - Hermes#hades 2#mine

song about something you'll never be forgiven for. beepbox link here, and a singalong under the read more :''-)
starting point "âŠso don't look back" i took your hand and led you astray into the light i fear i might have made a fatal mistake walk in a straight line walk in a straight line i couldn't ask i only hope that sinners are saved but in all honesty, my honor keeps me somewhat afraid walk in a straight line don't dare look behind â«â«â« i had a dream we tried to reach the finishing line but in the silence still the time we killed had come back to life walk in a straight line walk in a straight line the signs had merged into a single "end of the world" where every undead thing was damned to sing "esrever ni gnos a" walk in a straight line âŠtell me that you're fine â«â«â« walk in a straight line (walk in a straight line) don't dare look behind (don't dare look behind) tell me that you're fine (something that had died) you're still breathing right? (are you satisfied?) walk between the lines (how to save a life) don't dare look behind (change the ending line) reach the end this time (tell a little lie) bring me back to life⊠â«â«â« if i'd look back and held the hands that led me astray into the light i'd proudly cry "this is my final mistake" walk with me this time walk with me this time i should have asked i know the answer's somewhat clichĂ© but was it worth the price and worth the pain? you're fading awayâ walk with me this time bring me back to life⊠if i'd look back⊠if i'd look back⊠if i'd look back⊠if i'd look back⊠if i'd look back⊠if you'd look--
#i've been sitting on this song for a while now... i really wanted to make a video for it but it's late and i can't afford to stay up#for much longer. and i know if i leave this for tomorrow it won't get finished until like. 839482394 months later.#i'm just glad i was able to sketch something that i don't completely hate LOL#anyways.. many many thoughts and feelings poured into this one#i will say the primary thing that inspired it was killua & gon#and also yhk . They Looked Back#wish i could somehow concisely explain my thought process for the song's original meaning but its somewhat convoluted#i guess in essence it was motivated by the idea of ''what if orpheus really did somehow manage to Not look back?''#''isn't it more tragic that way? that he never looks back and just keeps walking?''#sniffles. yeah. shoutout to killua ''rip to orpheus but I'm Different'' zoldyck for that one#theres a lot of other different ways to interpret the song but that one's still one of my favorites...... lol#okay hugs and kisses and goodnight.... maybe one day i'll be able to make that video of mine. smiles#lalala#fishbowl
