"So this is urgent care," Buck marvels. He leans into Tommy's space and smiles at him. "You always take me to the best places for the best new experiences."

Tommy's expression is withering, or it would be if Buck wasn't so brave and strong and in love. But then again, Tommy's the one who sliced his arm open while working on a car in the garage, so maybe he has the right to be a little cranky about it.

"Are you in a lot of pain?" Buck asks. "Does that mean anything? Are you actually gonna tell me if you're in a lot of pain or—okay, jaw-clenched stoicism, I got it."

"It's fine. I don't know why you thought it was too deep for surgical glue."

Buck frowns. "It's way too deep for surgical glue." Suddenly, he beams. "Are you scared of doctors?"

"I'm not scared of doctors."

"I'm gonna ask Hen, maybe she remembers if you are."

"I'm not scared of doctors."

"Hey Hen random question but we're at urgent care and Tommy looks—"

"Maybe I'm uptight because I sliced my arm open and we're at urgent care." Tommy looks over. "You're not actually texting her, are you?"

"Nah, she and Karen took the kids on a day trip somewhere," Buck replies. "Just you and me today."

"No medical vigil for me? I see how it is."

Buck laughs, loud and bright with his whole chest. "I can FaceTime Eddie and see if he wants to hang out with us while you get like, maximum 10 stitches in your arm."

"You're making fun of me. I'm gonna have a scar on my forearm forever and you're making fun of me."

"I'm looking up scar gels," Buck assures him. "Ooh, that's us."

---

"15 stitches," Buck says. "See? I was close."

Tommy's eyes are shut as he nods. "Congrats. Use my phone, buy yourself something pretty."

"Can we get burgers after this? Hey," Buck says, softer. "You're not okay, are you? You can tell me."

Tommy takes a deep breath, holds it, then lets it out. "I'm fine. I'll be a lot better when I'm stitched up and home. It's fine."

They move into a different room with a bigger setup, trays ready to go and Dr. Donna cheerfully waving them over. "I can sit with him, right?" Buck asks, holding up their joined hands.

"Of course, bring all the moral support in the world," she replies. "Never too old or brave or big strong firefighter to have your hand held while someone sews you up."

"It's fine," Tommy says, absolutely not fine. "I've had staples in the field, I've been sewed up in tents in Afghanistan. This? This is nothing."

Tommy's clutching his hand so tightly that Buck can't actually squeeze back, so he rests his free hand on Tommy's instead. "Can you distract me?" Tommy asks. "Now's a great time to read me like, the entirety of an essay on… something. What are you into right now?"

"Can I look up the history of surgery?"

"A couple of little pinches, just ignore me," Dr. Donna says quickly. "Hey, why don't you tell me how you guys met? Got together?"

Buck leans forward to catch Dr. Donna's eye, which he can't do because she's working on Tommy's arm and whispering to the nurse next to her. "Uh, we can't tell you, actually. It's classified."

"Cruise ship rescue operation," Tommy says through clenched teeth. "Lifeboats, remember?"

"Oh, right, that's what they said."

Tommy huffs out a little laugh, squeezes Buck's hand tighter. "You'll never get security clearance for anything in your life, not ever."

"Yeah, probably not. How about, um. Hmm. Oh! Got together. The first time, I sprained my best friend's ankle because I was jealous, and then we kissed and it was great. The next time, we ran into each other at a bar and hooked up, and then we got back together—" Buck pauses.

"You okay?" Tommy asks.

"It's okay," Buck says. "Second time, we kinda did and didn't get back together, uh, after my captain at the firehouse—he was closer to me than my dad—uh, he died, and we just… got back together."

"I'm sorry, hon," Dr. Donna replies. "That's never easy."

"We both lost him," Buck says. "Yeah, so we were putting our lives back together and then it turned out that my sublet—I was subletting a house from my friend who moved back to Texas, the one whose ankle I sprained—well he didn't mention that the rest of the lease was only four months."

"You didn't read the lease."

"He's my best friend, we don't need leases."

"Clearly, you did."

"I don't have a lease from you. Do we need a lease?"

"Not if I'm evicting you today," Tommy replies.

"Yeah, nice try, who's gonna talk to your plants when you're on shift? And your kitchen would be nothing without me, Tommy."

"I guess that's true. I'd have to buy all those spices again and god knows how long that would take."

Buck smiles to himself; Tommy's feeling better already. "Anyway, the lease was up but I didn't know if I wanted to renew because the landlord wanted to jack up the rent by a lot, so Tommy—"

"I came to the conclusion that we were already living together, pretty much, so why not move into my house—"

"House that you own, with a really nice kitchen that could use all my pots and pans. Dishes, too, it's like you never had anyone over."

"My house that I own, and then—" Tommy sighs. "And then I'll see him every day. And every day he'll talk my ear off about anything and everything under the sun, except today—"

"You're all set," Dr. Donna announces. "That was agonizing, huh?"

Tommy looks down at his forearm, then shows Buck. "Staples would have been fine."

"You would have hated those so much more, believe me," she laughs. "Alright, Shirley's going to get your paperwork and then you can get out of here. Follow up with your primary care doctor or come back here. If it starts to take a turn for the worse: I think you know who to call." She smiles and points at both of them. "Burgers. Treat yourself. Extra carbs."

"Are they good for healing? Carbs?" Buck asks.

She shrugs and waves, then leaves again. "I'm gonna look that up," Buck says. "Can I have my hand back?"

"No."

"Big baby," Buck mumbles, bringing Tommy's hand to his lips and kissing it. "I love your big baby parts."

"That's maybe the worst way you could have put it."

"But you love me anyway."

Tommy's lips are a fine line again, slightly turned downward, but then he brings Buck's hand to his lips, too. "I love you anyway."

Not a request or ask but just a thought dump that a lot of people have amity park placed in the midwest n stuff which is cool, but then they don't give Danny those midwestern behaviors (i am also guilty of this as a midwesterner). I just think it would add a ton of comedy to the situation. Because being from a small city in the midwest with little nightlife and going into a densely populated city in the east coast that feels damn near always awake is like a major change.

Being from the midwest, it's a lot of polite kindness and greeting with big smiles, handshakes, and sometimes side hugs. Its lengthy hellos and even longer goodbyes as you slowly by slowly creep towards the door to leave but ur host just keeps bringing up 1 more thing they just *have* to tell you about. Its saying 'ope sorry' when bumping into someone when its not even ur fault. (I am gonna be completely real, i never even realized I said ope, sorry i just thought it was a joke others had for ppl in the midwest but then I listened to myself and was slack-jawed in horror.)

Its saying 'yall' unironically, even when referring to 1 person. The kindness to go the extra mile for people some times and becoming close friends with coworkers because you dont do anything else with ur life bc its the midwest.

Idk, i just think it would be funny, especially since the majority of the batfam were raised in gotham (typically placed in new jersey) and the difference in accents would most certainly be a giveaway that danny is NOT from gotham. And if his accent didnt give him away then the way he acts with such open kindness and wide smiles would most DEFINITELY give him away that he is NOT a Gotham native. And that makes me seriously giggle. Because in a city that is dealing with new rouges and the typical terrors, being used to rough faces and sneers, the most suspicious ones are the happy ones with wide smiles and open demeanors. And that is why danny gets singled out, not because he was caught going ghost, not because he was found bleeding ectoplasm, not even because of his mad scientist heritage and lack of self preservation, its because hes So Damn Nice And Smiley It Just Cant Be Real.

(sorry this got so long ive just been wanting to share my thoughts with someone and you seemed like a good fit lmao)

I love fics that explore this! Especially when the people of Gotham freak out because only the Joker's men or the people on something smile that wide at strangers.

Danny would consider it rude if people are always rushing, like he's used to people at checkout telling each other short stories, like their grandson graduating. Their daughter is getting married, or hey, I remember that show! - Nothing more than a minute or two, but people in the city don't do that.

They think he's trying to steal or something, because why is he trying to distract them at work? Why is he acting so friendly? It's super suspicious.

(Or something like that because I'm southwestern and that's how some tourists act when they come to my little rural areas lol)

I was just on tt (yes ik, a mistake) and came across a video discussing a theory the guy had and he mentioned the timless child and there were once again lots of comments saying they like the storyline but it would have made more sense if the Master was the child, and I'm sorry, but no, absolutely not. It makes complete sense as it is, and in fact, at least for me, the Master being the child would take away what is most compelling to me about it: The Master being so angry about the Timelords hurting the Doctor that he burns the whole planet to the ground, for them, because he loves them in such a sick way(though he would never admit this, above all not to himself). And she knows that it is because of her, and she has to deal with it. The Master also feeling utterly lost because the one thing he was sure he was (aka the Doctor's first and oldest friend) got ripped away, and he's essentially not better than all the other star-eyed people following her. Him suffering unbelievably because of that. The Doctor also suffering, though for her it's because of there is so much she can't remember. None of that would happen if the Master was the timeless child. Sure, physically (?? idk if that's the right word to use here, lol) things would go roughly the same, but emotionally they would just not be as interesting anymore, it would probably fall into the Master feeling like a god and the Doctor not giving much of a shit about this new revelation. Also the notion that that would explain why the Master can't seem to ever really die? Stupid as well. Maybe I'm interpreting what people mean with that wrong, but connection the Master's clinging-on-to-life with the qualities of the timless child kinda implies that he does so with regeneration energy which is just plain wrong? Most, if not all of their most desperate actions in this regard had little to nothing to do with that. Idk, maybe I'm biased because I really love the Master (and want them to suffer as much as possible) and therefore have a strong opinion on everything considering them, but I feel like people saying things like that have never actually thought about their character beyond the surface level of 'the Doctor's evil friend'

[curiouscatastrophe]

Excuse me @huginsmemory I don't know why you thought this was staying in the tags but I can assure you it is not

#what hurts worse?#bill not caring for him and it was either a ruse or ford misinterpreting?#or bill DID care for him but was still willing and able to do all that to him?#ford having to decide which poison he wants to let kill him#<- prev prev tags#yeah. YEAH. also like. rolled into this is Ford trying to kill him#its so much easier to deny any emotions for him or construe it as a mistake that was never formed on genuine affection#which you SEE him do in TBOB with 'maybe youre attracted to things that hurt you'#but we KNOW from ford it was formed on genuine affection... but isnt it easier to lie to yourself. especially if your trying to kill Bill.#not at all to mention Bill himself... and i think hes so angry and feels so betrayed he goes 'Bill a heartless monster and im a fool'#while hes hunting him down. but also theres those times you had together were it did feel genuine#and also Bill calling himself a monster... ford learns about the truth of the fact that Bill killed his dimension...#how do you reconcile that. suddenly realizing that the monster that you were so eager to kill for Bill was Bill himself. the way he laughed#and said 'sixer it would eat you alive' and you understand now. but the way he said it is haunting. because it wasn't gleeful#and you are now fufilling that claim in the moment that you made for Bill. to destroy that monster. the irony of it. but also thats#something youd deny and repress because you need to construe Bill as a monster. not as something that did care about you#and hurt you anyways. and if thats true and if its true that people who care about you can hurt you then what does that mean about stan?#and i think ford only really at the end begins to realize. or allow himself to realize that as he also accepts the reality of his own grief#of their relationship. but yeah. wouldnt it be better? or is it just worse that he did. and he did all of it; the abuse the threats the HARM#anyways? salt in the wound#idk where i was going with this#but yeah. im unwell about them

I wonder if it would hurt or help Ford as he tries to heal from what Bill did to him to know that yes, a God did fall in love with him.

YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE SEEN ALL THESE FRAT PARTIES FICS AND TBH CAN YOU WRITE ONE FOR CHOSO OR WAKASA?? like they meet at a party with reader and etc etc. dont have to do both if you dont want to of course!

OF COURSE. SEE IDK WHY I DIDN’T THINK OF THIS BEFORE BUT TYSM. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT. I chose Choso btw . ♡ I might make this into a series also, it depends though..🤭

NOT READ OVER SO MIGHT BE TYPING MISTAKES .

Choso was at yet another frat party, not that he minded because he never spoke much anyway. He sat in his black tank and gray sweats that hugged his athletic figure so well that all the girls there were practically drooling over him. He would get surrounded by these girls while on the couch, they were all giggly and rubbing up on his built arms talking about how cute he was with his two ponytails. He would smile and nod but he didn’t of course like any of these girls. No one caught his eye until he saw you. You were there with a group of your friends, who you happened to be dancing with, but you ended up getting a bit tired. You walked over and grabbed yourself a drink before you made your way over to the couch and plopped down right beside Choso. You laughed and watched as your girlfriends danced along with some of the other frat boys. You finally looked over at Choso and you instantly gushed. His cute ponytails and gosh just his whole vibe had you in love. “Awwww I’ve heard all the girls talking about you. You are cute!! I didn’t believe them at first!!” You would say as you smiled and giggled at him. Did you think that he was gonna be like all the other frat boys? I mean like yeah he was popular with the girls but not because he was all loud and obnoxious like the other guys! He was calm, respectful, and strong which he had shown off in one of the lifting contests that had happened at one of the previous parties for free extra drinks but that was beside the point. He didn’t want you to think he was like the others, he was different but yet still a frat boy. That’s when he realized he was getting lost in thought and that he had been staring at you. He shook his head and sighed as he saw you staring at him back with an eyebrow cocked but a silly smile on your face. “You like what you see? I'm just playing with you, cutie!!” You said as you laughed and slapped his bicep playfully. You only did that so you would have an excuse to touch him, I mean like who wouldn’t wanna touch him? But back to Choso, No he did like what he saw, a lot actually but then he realized he hadn’t said anything that whole time. He opened his mouth and let out a chuckle to match energy “I didn’t know I was that popular. You said you heard about me? Hope it wasn’t anything bad.” He said in a smooth calm tone as he looked at you in the eyes. He couldn’t help but notice the way your eyes would drift down to look at his shredded body. You were definitely looking, shit almost drooling!! While in your state of distraction, you accidentally ended up slipping your drink into his lap. You gasped and I quickly grabbed some napkins that had been thrown out on the table to clean up spilled drinks and stuff. “Oh, I’m so sorry!!” You said as you patted his crotch area, trying to clean up the spilled drink. Choso hissed and he simply grabbed your hand to pull it off his lap while he shook his head, “no no no..it’s fine. I’ll just go clean myself up.” he would say before standing up, walking off to his bedroom.

After Choso went up to his room, he would be changing when he heard the click of his door opening. He turned around to look and see you standing there. Jaw practically dropped as you shamelessly stared at him in his boxers, you couldn’t help yourself from making a cheeky comment. “Shit..didn’t know you were big down there too.” Maybe it was the liquor you had been sipping on all night or something but shit you were bold. Choso cocked a brow and sighed before putting on a new pair of pants. Now that you were standing in front of him, he could get a good view of your outfit. You were wearing a skimpy black dress that barely covered your ass and your cleavage, with some black heels. Shit, you were so hot. He knew he couldn’t let any of the other frat boys get to you, knowing damn well that they were or probably already had tried talking to you. But if that was the case..you must’ve turned down their advances right? I mean like you were standing in his bedroom, commenting on his dick size with no shame whatsoever on your pretty face. He didn’t know how the rest of the party was gonna go but all he knew was that he was gonna spend it with you. By the end of the night, he made sure to get your number, walking you to your car as you got in all giggly. Your girlfriends who were in the car with you, all smirking and laughing as you hugged choso goodbye. Telling him about how you will be calling him soon. He would be waiting for it.

HIIII!!!

Idk if this is where you get your requests-

If it’s not, delete this and sorry!

Anyway! I wanna request for the Self-Aware Cosmo and Sprout! Or just one of the two! Maybe one or both could actually meet the reader?

I LOVE YOUR WRITING!!😭😭❤️

Guys I have so many requests now. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to have people want me to write more, but I'm a wee bit startled by all of this, lol.

So this one is gonna be a bit shorter, lol. (Don't worry I love fulfilling requests! Feel free to send in more!)

Anyways, here's a drabble on Sprout and Cosmo in the self-aware AU from They Hear You!

Friends You Never Knew

Yandere!Self-Aware!Sprout x Reader; Yandere!Self-Aware!Cosmo x Reader

Warnings: Obsession and other general yandere behaviors

--☆☆☆☆☆--

Both were skeptical of you at first. Especially Sprout.

After all, hearing a player speak was completely new. Sure they could see the dialogs sent in the chat, but they never heard anyone's voice.

And when you played as Cosmo? Sprout was not happy.

But then you kept being so happy to play as Cosmo, occasionally rambling about how you'd like to bake with him and Sprout sometime.

So you baked? Hm... maybe you weren't that bad.

And you seemed to adore Cosmo. You called him 'a cutie of a cake roll' and made that poor Toon turn beet red when you weren't looking at his face.

Cosmo didn't know if he could trust you. Especially when Sprout was initially so skeptical. But... he heard how loving you are.

Is it surprising he was the first to warm up to you?

To love you?

--☆☆☆--

Sprout was surprised at how easily he gave in to the urge to love you.

It was so sudden. He was in his Twisted form, skeptical of you even as Cosmo insisted on going onto this floor to show you a medkit as you played a Scraps who was accidentally brought to one heart.

He just wanted to make sure Cosmo would be fine.

But then he heard you crying. Letting out choked sobs as you vented to Scraps about the struggles wearing down on you.

You weren't venting to him, he knew that.

But it sure felt like you were.

And it was in his nature to be nurturing, was it not?

He'd be nurturing to you, helping you grow and eventually be able to move past these struggles with ease.

And so he loved you.

He loved you so much.

--☆☆☆--

It didn't take the two too long to finally accept you were going to be a regular occurrence.

And it didn't take long for them to start to like you.

You playing became a regular occurance. You talking became a regular occurance.

And boy, did they listen.

They listened to every word you said.

And when Vee learned a strange amount of information about you and figured out how to go elsewhere on Roblox? To leave the app and see everything else you fuss about with? And when she told the other Mains?

Sprout was quick to tell Cosmo, and the two left the app.

And promptly read your search history.

They didn't know that wasn't a normal thing to do. If Vee was able to access your phone's microphone to hear and learn more about you, what's the harm in seeing the things you searched up?

They mostly focused on the recipes you searched up. And asked Vee what your favorite food was.

If Dandy was going to actually follow through on his plan...

They learnt how to make you favorite food. And your second favorite food. And your third. And they kept learning how to make foods you liked. Foods you loved.

The way to the heart is through the stomach, is it not?

Cosmo was worried you wouldn't like them. Sprout opted to disagree.

You already spoke of them highly. Why would you suddenly hate them?

You would never hate them, right?

They thought of you as their friends.

You were their friend, yes?

And they loved you.

So, of course, you loved them too!

They're the friends you never knew you had.

They love you.

<3

ᯓ★ the summer we lost • chapter 3

summary: it was supposed to be the perfect summer—just before college, you and your online friend "william" had planned out meeting this summer, but everything came to a screeching halt when your parents dropped the bomb that you had to get a job at a family friend’s dance studio. so instead of having fun, you’re stuck teaching kids who can barely stay on their feet, alongside a girl you can’t stand. now, while your friends are living their summer, you’re tangled up in a mess of pirouettes, bratty 7-year-olds, and a summer you’ll never get back. warnings: angst | mature language | sexual content | substance consumption

authors note: so chapter 3 is hereee wc: 2.9k

the summer we lost masterlist

your alarm doesn’t go off. mostly because you didn’t set one. today’s your first official day off in weeks, and you’re clinging to every second of it like it’s oxygen.

the sun leaks through your blinds in soft golden strips, warming your pillow, and for the first time all week, you don’t feel like you’re already late to something. no screaming children. no ballet shoes. no billie.

just silence, a little bird outside your window, and the familiar buzz of your phone lighting up with a text.

aaliyah: r u alive?

you smile, thumb already typing back.

you: barely. just woke up. what’s up

aaliyah: party’s tonight, remember?? don’t be lame

you stare at the screen for a second, brain still half-asleep.

you: oh god that’s tonight?

aaliyah: YES. u said u were coming. dress nice, something slutty or mysterious idk like u just murdered a man in monaco

you: what does that even mean

aaliyah: just be hot. i’ll pick you up at 7

you throw your phone onto the bed and roll over, groaning into your sheets. you had agreed to the party, mostly out of guilt and aaliyah’s persistence, but partially because she was your best friend. she threw one every summer, and missing it was borderline criminal in your friend group.

and maybe you could use the distraction.

you check your messages again—just one from your mom (asking about laundry), and a tiny, familiar one from “w.”

w: you better tell me everything about this party. i’m already mad i can’t be there to crash it

you: you’d probably find a way to spike the punch and start a rumor

w: obviously 🙄 

her messages feel like a hug. like a little invisible thread tugging at the edge of your world, pulling you back when things get too overwhelming.

you: kinda nervous though. idk why. haven’t been out in forever

w: ok so we’re u in hibernation, maybe you just love my company so much

you: 😒

w: pretend you're in a coming-of-age movie or something

you: what if i am

w: then i’m the hot mysterious love interest who shows up halfway through

you laugh, dropping your phone onto your pillow. maybe tonight won’t suck after all.

aaliyah picks you up at 7 just like she said and you both make your way to the house the party was going to be at. the music’s loud, a pulsating beat that vibrates through the floor and into your chest, but you can barely hear it over the buzz in your head. there’s a weird tension hanging in the air, something thick that you can’t quite put your finger on, but it’s making your skin crawl.

you’re standing by the drinks, trying to keep your mind distracted. aaliyah's next to you, her hand wrapped around her red cup but not really drinking, her gaze locked onto the door as if she’s anxiously waiting for the something.

the door opens, and a few people trickle in, but it’s the sight of them—billie and leilani—that stops aaliyah cold. your heart stutters. she’s here? just when you thought you could escape her.

billie steps inside like she’s been here a million times before, confident, almost arrogant, with that same look she always wears. but now, there’s something else to it: her arm is casually slung around leilani’s waist, pulling her close like they’ve been attached at the hip forever. 

leilani, aaliyah’s younger sister, is leaning into it, her head tilted back, laughing at something billie says. the smile on leilani’s face is too soft, too trusting. it hits you like a punch in the gut. 

"oh my god," aaliyah mutters, her voice low but sharp, enough to make you glance at her. she’s rigid, her jaw clenched, and her fists are tight at her sides. the look on her face is pure fury.

"what’s wrong?" you ask, trying to keep your voice steady, but something about the situation has your heart racing.

aaliyah doesn’t even look at you, her eyes glued to the pair at the door. "isn’t that your sister?" you ask, your voice unsure. you grew up with aaliyah’s family, how could someone so innocent, like leilani be with someone like billie, stuck up, arrogant and just downright rude. 

"yeah," aaliyah bites out, barely looking at you, her eyes still locked on them. "what the fuck is she doing" she says the words like they're coated in venom, the anger seeping through each syllable. 

“and why is she with billie,” she spits the name like it’s something sour. “that bitch i was telling you about.”

you blink, not sure what to say. you glance back toward billie and leilani, who are still standing in the doorway, billie’s arm wrapped tighter around leilani, her fingers grazing the skin of her side. it’s casual, but it looks so much more than that. billie’s body language is too comfortable, too intimate for something that should be so new. she doesn’t even seem to notice the looks she’s getting, strolling in like she owns the place.

“she’s such a big player,” aaliyah continues, her voice clipped, tight with frustration. “always has been. she does this to everyone—makes them feel like they’re the only one, makes them think they’re special, then moves on like they never mattered.”

you frown, your eyes flicking back to billie’s relaxed posture, the way she’s holding leilani against her. all that, to someone so sweet as leilani? you don’t say it out loud, but the words are there, burning in the back of your mind. 

“she’s like that with everyone,” aaliyah mutters, her hands trembling just slightly as she glares at them. “you think you’re the one she’s interested in? no. none of us are. it’s all a game to her. especially leilani. i fucking warned her about this.”

your heart sinks as you take it all in—this is who billie is? this is the girl you’ve been trying to figure out, the one who’s been toying with you, too? a mix of confusion and disbelief builds in your chest, but there's also something else—a sick feeling, like a little voice telling you that this is what you signed up for. that this is what it means to get tangled in someone like billie. 

aaliyah’s voice cuts through your thoughts, sharp and angry. “and now look at her. she’s doing it to leilani, right in front of me, after everything i’ve warned her about. she thinks she’s got her all figured out, all charmed up, but it’s just another game for her.”

you glance back at billie again. she’s got this easy confidence, this air about her, but now, it’s twisted. it doesn’t look so fun anymore. your stomach twists as you realize aaliyah might be right. you’ve been just as caught up in billie’s game, maybe not in the same way leilani is, but it’s still there. that pull. that strange magnetism. 

aaliyah rolls her eyes, her lips curling in disgust as she watches billie laugh with leilani. “i’m telling you, stay away from her,” aaliyah says, her tone quiet but fierce. “don’t need her doing that to anyone else.”

you swallow hard. “how do you know this though?” the words slip out before you can stop them, the uncertainty in your voice clear even to yourself.

aaliyah doesn’t respond immediately. instead, she watches the two of them, her eyes narrowed in pure annoyance. “i—uh someone from work mentioned it the other day, something about her cheating.”

the weight of aaliyah’s words presses on you, each one landing like a stone in your chest. you didn’t want to believe it, but now it’s hard to ignore. how much of billie’s attention is real? how much of it is just part of the game she’s playing with you, too?

aaliyah doesn’t look at you as she says it, but her words land heavy between the two of you. “i hate her. and if you have any sense, you’ll stay away from her.”

you want to tell aaliyah, you want to tell her everything—that it’s not that easy to ignore her. she’s your boss, the boss you hate but that’s another story. but the words stick in your throat, tangled with all the confusion, the uncertainty, and the sudden doubt that you can’t quite shake. why was she making you feel like this? you hated her. aaliyah hated her.

the music pulses in the background, but it feels miles away now. everything feels out of reach, like you’re standing on the edge of something you can’t control. 

you look at billie again, and this time, you don’t feel the same pull you did before. it’s not the same.

“wow, you can actually talk. didn’t know that was in your skill set,” billie says, her voice dripping with amusement. she leans against the wall, arms crossed, eyes gleaming with that same mix of curiosity and sarcasm she always wears like a badge of honor.

you don’t even bother to hide the annoyance in your expression. “oh, so sorry to disappoint. i guess i didn’t realize i had to entertain you.”

billie smirks, not even the slightest bit fazed. “entertain me? i don’t know, you’re just so... quiet. my tv’s never quiet” she tilts her head, studying you like you’re some kind of puzzle she’s just dying to figure out. “thought you’d be more... dramatic, considering, you know, everything.”

you feel your patience snap, just a little. “yeah, well, you’re dramatic enough for both of us,” you mutter under your breath, crossing your arms, trying to act like you don’t care. but your heart’s racing, the pull between you and her still there, even if you’re trying to ignore it.

billie’s grin widens, clearly enjoying the way you’re reacting. “oh, trust me, i know. i’m the life of the party. but it’s cute,” she teases, her eyes scanning you for any sign of cracking. “you’re like... a little unbothered island in the middle of all this chaos. it’s kind of refreshing.”

“refreshing?” you repeat, fighting back a laugh that would just give her more satisfaction. “you mean annoying.”

billie takes a step closer, leaning in just a little too close for comfort. “sure, i could see how you'd think that. but deep down, i think you’re actually a little into the drama. just don’t want to admit it.”

“no that’s not true, fuck you’re so—" you stop yourself, not sure if you want to let her see how much she’s getting under your skin. she was still your boss and you could still very well get fired. which would mean your mom would kill you. it’s frustrating, knowing she’s messing with you, but what else could you do?

before you can finish, you see aaliyah marching across the room, her face tight with frustration. she’s got leilani in tow, pulling her to the side with a scowl that could freeze anyone in their tracks.

“this can’t be good,” you mutter to yourself, watching the scene unfold.

billie, of course, notices immediately, the sly grin spreading back onto her face. “uh-oh, looks like someone’s in trouble,” she says, almost a little too smug.

you can’t help but roll your eyes. “you’re so annoying,” you bite out, voice thick with irritation. “seriously, you just had to come here and mess with everyone, huh?”

billie laughs, throwing her head back like she’s actually enjoying this. “mess with everyone? babe, i’m just having fun. not my fault people can’t handle a little fun.”

“fun?” you repeat incredulously. “this isn’t funny, billie. you’re just playing with people. like leilani. do you even care about anyone, or is it just... some game to you?”

she shrugs, unbothered. “you know you’re funny y/n, acting like you care, but you and i know that you only do what’s best for yourself.” her tone is casual, almost too casual. she takes the drink out of your hand and sips out of your red cup smirking as you look at her with disgust.

“ugh. you’re unbelievable,” you mutter, trying to shove your way through the crowd, the tension in the pit of your stomach getting heavier with every word.

billie’s voice follows you, teasing, but there's something else in her tone—like she’s trying to see if you’ll bite. “oh, come on. don’t walk away from me now, you can’t avoid me the whole night you know, oh and let’s face it you’re not the perfect princess everyone thinks you are.”

you freeze, your back to her, but you don’t turn around. “you really think that’s what this is about?” you ask, barely keeping your voice steady. “not everything is about you billie, you may be my boss but honestly i couldn’t care less if you fired me.”

for a brief moment, there’s silence. then billie’s voice cuts through again, quieter this time. “yeah, you say that now. but you’ll regret it later, what will your poor mom say when she finds out her perfect daughter got fired hm baby?”

you scoff before glancing over your shoulder to find a place to escape to. just in time you see aaliyah’s hand gripping leilani’s arm, pulling her away from the crowd. leilani’s eyes flicker with guilt, but she doesn’t fight it. aaliyah’s fury is palpable from across the room.

billie watches it all with a knowing look, like she’s seen this act before. but she doesn’t say anything, nor does she care.

you can’t help but feel a little unsettled as you turn back to face her, crossing your arms again, the air between you and billie growing heavier.

you’re not sure if you should leave, if you should just walk away from all this and ignore what billie said. but then you think of what aaliyah said, and the little flicker of doubt that runs through you. is this what you want?

you exhale sharply, the frustration bubbling up again, but you can’t find the words to make it go away. so you just mutter, “seriously, billie, just... leave me alone.” she raises an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. “you sure? ‘cause the way i see it, you’re not exactly running away from me, pretty”

LOVE TRIANGLE ❤️‍🔥

SUMMARY - an old battle-hardened doctor, now stuck in a messy love triangle straight out of a bad soap opera. Who knew heartache could be tougher than war? What on earth should he do?

THEME - angst, ofc

PAIRING - ratchet/reader (mainly), drift/ratchet, drift&reader (maybe drift/ratchet/reader in the end. Idk)

Ratchet was nearly in shock—stunned and overwhelmed by a flood of emotions he couldn’t even begin to name. And all of it… was because of you

“Ratchet! Primus, I missed you so much!”

There you were, rushing toward him with uncontainable joy, wrapping your arms around him with all the longing and love that had built up over the years. That was the moment it truly hit him—this wasn’t a hallucination. He wasn’t losing his mind. This was real. You were real. Standing here, in front of him, in his arms, at long last

Mere seconds after regaining his senses, the old medic embraced you back without a second thought, paying no mind to the others aboard the ship who were now staring at the two of you. He didn’t care. Not when you were here, finally back in his arms after hundreds—millions—of years of waiting

“you look old… Oh—sorry, is that your friend? I—”

“Where have you been all this time? Why did it take so long—” Why now? Ratchet asked, pulling away from the embrace, gripping your shoulders tightly, eyes full of worry, frustration, longing… and something even deeper

“It’s complicated… but I’ll explain everything later. Still, welcome back aboard—to both of you. Drift, right? Rodimus mentioned you quite often”

Oh. Oh. Ratchet had almost forgotten—Drift was there with him. Drift, who had volunteered to come back with him, lured by persuasion, shared memories, and a past neither of them could quite bury

Ratchet admitted, he had let Drift in more than he ever expected. After you disappeared, he was convinced that his spark had gone cold. He didn’t want to admit it—not now, not in front of anyone—but it was Drift who had made him feel something again. Something warm. Something he hadn’t felt in eons. But now… now you were here, and everything was spiraling

He loved you—of that, he was certain. But what he felt for Drift… it wasn’t nothing. No, he couldn’t pretend there wasn’t something between them. Not when he was the one who insisted on going out to find Drift

Something he never did for you

Even if it wasn’t entirely his fault, the old medic couldn’t help but feel guilty. You disappeared into the chaos of war—not confirmed dead, not confirmed alive, just… gone. He had wanted—needed—to go looking for you. No matter the danger, even if it meant going alone, even if you were on the far edge of the galaxy, he should have tried

But duty held him back. Limited resources. The state of war. Responsibilities he couldn’t abandon. Ratchet, as the Autobots’ chief medic, had to stay. Logic told him it would have been futile anyway. The Decepticons probably had already taken your life, perhaps in a place so remote your body would never be found. Or maybe it was an accident—some cruel twist of fate. That reasoning made it easier to just… sit still. To lie to himself. To tell himself you were dead

That it was easier to let go

And in the end, he did

Now, he regretted it with every ounce of his spark

.

.

“So I guess that makes you a friend of Ratchet’s? Well then—welcome aboard the Lost Light! Uh”

“Absolutely, thank you so much! Y/N’s the name. I’m just glad you’re both alright”

Drift, ever the kind soul he was, remained unaware of the emotional storm brewing just beneath the surface. Ratchet hadn’t told him about you. He didn’t know. And that, perhaps, was for the best

The old medic didn’t want to make things more complicated than they already were. He needed time—needed to figure himself out, to sort through the tangle of emotions in a way that wouldn’t leave any of the three of you broken. He had to make a choice, didn’t he? It certainly felt that way

But no—this wouldn’t be easy. Emotional responsibility never was. Relationships were never simple. Not like this

For now, he just wanted to be glad. Glad that you were here, that you were alive. That much, at least, shouldn’t be too much to ask

The rest of it… that could wait for tomorrow

[tom-is-online]

Not sure if this already ask before but how do you rank all pjsk cast base on comm songs? If it too much to do then who is your top 5 base on comm songs?

Put way too much thought into this. I've put em in order + said what my fav comm is

TOP 5 🔥🔥🔥

1. Akito Shinonome - Fuel

2. Kohane Azusawa - Ultra C

3. Shiho Hinomori - Voices

4. Kanade Yosaki - D/N/A

5. Airi Momoi - Peachy Key

None of them have ever missed ever and I stick by this. Esp my goats Akito, Kohane and Shiho

CUT HERE if still interested in my ranking its there VVVVV

6. Ena Shinonome - Nomad

7. Mizuki Akiyama - Kitty

8. An Shiraishi - Rekka

9. Toya Aoyagi - Haven

10. Minori Hanasato - Jumpin' over

11. Mafuyu Asahina - Engeki

12. Shizuku Hinomori - Memato RE:Born

13. Tsukasa Tenma - Seibai ItAAAAAAAAAAtsu

14. Haruka Kiritani - Anti-You

15. Honami Mochizuki -

16. Saki Tenma - Show off

17. Ichika Hoshino - the WALL

18. Emu Otori - Niccori Survey Team

19. Nene Kusanagi - Glory Steady GO

20. Rui Kamishiro - Cyber Punk Dead Boy

Some notes:

Akito being 1st is not a suprise. It shouldn't be to anyone, if it is. Hi you must be new to my blog. He never missed. I stand by this

Kohane being after is also non negotiable. Also never missed but also has Realise which isn't a miss but its not like. The best ever

Spot 1-5 I believe have NO misses.

Yes that means I'm fucking with Icedrop. Fuck off its good.

5-10 are mostly bangers but have like 1 song each I don't gaf about rly or I like their comms a little less overall than ones above

Shoutout for Minori for being my benchmark of top 10 and below it did unironically help a lot lmaooo

Mafuyu misses out on top 10 cuz I can't listen to Reborn I'm so sorry idk why I don't mess with it I just can't do that slow man. Every other comm FUCKS tho

12 below I p much have a fav and maybe 1 or 2 other bangers but have a few I don't rly care about. Leo/need was very hard to sort cuz I love every Shiho song and then a few others then it's kinda muddy imo

Then we get the bottom three.

I SWEAR I DIDNT MEAN TO DO WXS LIKE THAT when I've said in the past idgaf about a lot of their comms I meant it, Tsukasa hoards the bangers. Nene is being saved from last place because I don't like Rui and also. Jesus christ I feel like I can't rate his comms higher cuz of the Curse he has. I think I wouldn't be being honest putting him higher than Nene

I like cyberpunk and showtime ruler for what it's worth. Sorry not sorry tho Rui lol

If u have any questions feel free to ask :) I love to ramble about commissions and stuff :))

+ bonus sketchbook page of insanity

ALSO if anyone does this themselves PLEASE let me know :) it's very fun would recommend it :)))

joshua anon here, omg yes i meant personality reading, idk why i misread your post as perspective 😭

that's okay, don't worry 🥹 i assumed it was that, i just wanted to make sure....

Js's personality – headcanons

WARNINGS: mdni under the cut, descriptive and mention of sexual subjects

joshua is really, really sweet, in a way, he puts his loved ones first to him, he has fatherly vibes.

joshua in a young and innocent soul, he doesn't see or expect bad from anyone and has childlike energy to him.

even though he has some hard times, he's really stable emotionally. i can't pinpoint if he tries to push aside the problems or is it because he just is very emotionally intelligent to accept it.

constantice is a world to define him, and that's good and bad. It's good because if he's in, he's all in, but bad because if he's out, there's nothing that could make him choose otherwise.

joshua is actually more of a homebody, he finds quite stressing going out all the time.

joshua thrives to always learn something new, he's very knowledgeable and might know random facts about random things.

Spicy Thoughts

again, the fatherly vibes, but with more of a feminine energy to it, joshua is really caring and nurturing during sex

definitely a sub... a whiny one.

if he decides to top (almost never), he's a service dom, a teasing one, that's his dark side when it comes to sex, he likes to turture a bit, keeping your orgam until you're breaking a part.

he likes to be edged and receive orders around.

you can be a little mean and seductive to him, he likes it. he will be obedient to you.

and can really imagine joshua on his knees for his partner, small smile, and listening to their ordering attentively.

joshua is like BIG into being a sub, he wouldn't mind being tied up, blind folded and so on.

MCU yapping time

I had seen Daredevil S1 but never got around to watch S2 idk why. Recently I came across an edit of The Punisher and I was like yeah looks nice, why haven't I seen this yet so downloaded the entire S1 of The Punisher.

Now I'm full comfy watching my episodes when in ep2 Karen shows up (when frank is disguised as a begger) and I'm like wait 🫸 how do they both know each other. Did some tap tap on Google to find out oooh punisher was introduced in s2 of Daredevil.

Now a lil thought in my mind said ehh leave it so,okay they both know each other already I should just continue watching this but then I was like noo I should watch properly so I went ahead and saw s2 of Daredevil

DODGED A FREAKIN BULLET COZ IMAGINE ! IMAGINE IF I DIDN'T WATCH S2 AND MISSED ALL THE KAREN AND FRANK MOMENTS !!

it's not like i disliked Matt and Karen together..they were fine but BUT !! idk maybe I have a knack for unexpected pairings. Mann I'm so gone over them..the little breadcrumbs we have including s2 of Daredevil and s1 of punisher are so precious.

I think this has become way to long than i intended but F it, I love them I don't care.

You the scene where Frank kisses her on cheek (only rewinded it dozen times) how he softly says 'please please' before and similarly when Micro asks about their relationship and Frank goes all 'no one goes after her under my watch' he then after sitting in front of him goes 'please please' again and so softly again.

Arrghhhhh my heart is melting and THE FACT THAT THEY HAVEN'T EVEN KISSED YET :) just adds to their yearning as well as mine

P.s : I haven't watched DD Born Again yet.. do these two babies have screentime there ??

ena x musician reader? The reader is just like ena and thinks shes not good enough , and just how ena is with drawing. the gfs ever idc

Ena with a musician! S/O

࣪𖤐.ᐟ note -> Ena is my least favorite n25 character but I still love her <3

࣪𖤐.ᐟ warnings -> none.

࣪𖤐.ᐟ content includes -> fluff, insecurity, idk.

۫ ꣑ৎ Ena thinks the world of your music—even if you can’t see it yourself. She listens to your songs late at night, your melody filling her room while she sketches, wondering how someone so talented could doubt themselves like this. She doesn’t see her own hypocrisy.

۫ ꣑ৎ She hates when you talk down on your music. Ena doesn’t understand why you are insecure about it, your music is beautiful! You would often have to remind her that she's the same when it comes to her art and that she doesn’t have the right to be a hypocrite.

۫ ꣑ৎ Ena refuses to let you spiral alone. The moment she notices you getting quiet, she’s at your side with a gentle but stubborn “Talk to me.” And if you don’t, she’ll hold your hand until you do. No pressure—just presence.

۫ ꣑ৎ You’ve caught her listening to your recordings when she thought you were asleep. She doesn’t try to hide it either. Ena will look at you, deadpan, and continue listening to the recordings while she draws and sketches.

۫ ꣑ৎ You two are each other’s worst critics—and biggest fans. Ena listens to your demos on loop when she draws. You keep her sketches tacked up on your wall, next to your instrument. Neither of you believe in yourselves, but you believe in each other.

۫ ꣑ৎ When you two are sitting in silence, Ena often hums your melodies under her breath without even realizing it. Sometimes you catch her doing it and she gets flustered, snapping “Stop looking at me like that!”

۫ ꣑ৎ She has a sketchbook filled with drawings of you playing music. Every little detail—from the way your fingers tremble when you're nervous to the way you smile when you hit the right notes. You don’t know it exists. She won’t show you. Not yet. Maybe never.

۫ ꣑ৎ Ena has a playlist of all your songs, cut songs included too. It’s private. She’s never told anyone about it, not even Mizuki, but it’s there. Labeled “important.” It’s all the demos you’ve ever sent her and the live clips she’s saved over the course of your relationship.

۫ ꣑ৎ The two of you have made a secret little pact: when one of you feels like giving up, the other has to show something they’ve made. A song. A drawing. Anything. You’re both still bad at keeping it, but it helps even if it helps a little.

۫ ꣑ৎ Ena might not know how to say the right things when you break down, but she’ll sit beside you, linking your pinkies together and whispering comforting words as the two of you just sit there, finding comfort in each other.

PROOF THAT VANDER WAS THE DIRTY (not so) LITTLE THING, NOT SILCO

Ok listen. Let's just look back to their e3 conversation for a sec. Vander asks Silco why he's doing this. Silco answers "for resPECT,... everything they've denied us." Emphasis on the word "us". He is NOT talking about gaining respect for himself, he is talking about respect for "us", every Zaunite. Vander then says that Silco had everyone's respect and that was never enough for him. Ok so what does that mean? Even if we take s2's plot hole-ridden timeline that still doesn't make any sense. Vander himself took responsibility for the bridge riot, both in s1 and s2, so at the very least it would have been a joint decision. Also, if we look at the rest of Silco's actions in s1, literally nothing he does suggests that he was trying to gain respect for himself. Personally, I think Vander was projecting when he said that. Silco doesn't even acknowledge what he said, he immediately starts talking about how he wants freedom for all of the undercity because, again, it was never about him.

Now let's look more closely at Vander. Just look at this guy. He clearly hates himself ROFL. Look at his body language, specifically in that scene where Sevika ends his career with three words. Like he was trying so hard to control the crowd, to appear confident/intimidating and he failed miserably lol. Meanwhile, look at Silco's body language, he's so casual about it yet he still appears confident and intimidating. It just comes naturally to him. Also look at how easily he could control the chembarons. That is NOT the body language of someone who sees himself as a dirty little thing imo. (also the only reason the writers came up with Silco being a dirty little thing is because they thought wanting to liberate your country is unrelatable lmao).

Based on what we do know about Vander in his youth, he seemed like an incredibly violent and short tempered guy. Maybe people saw him as just some brute and he didn't want to be seen that way. Idk. Now I'm not saying that Vander didn't care about liberation, I think he did, but I also think that subconsciously his main motivation was gaining respect, and that's why he gave up so easily and felt so ashamed for leading the riot. He doesn't stop to think that the people who went with him did so because they believed in the cause, and that by giving up and forcing everyone down with him he is undermining what they died for. Basically, he had all these people's respect, but it wasn't enough for him, he wanted more, and it ended up getting people killed.

Also while we are on the topic of respect, I think the s2 timeline having Vander drown Silco after he gives up undermines Silco's line "I hated you but you kept my respect," because why would Silco have respect for Vander if he had already given up? Thanks I hate it.

General confidence genshin is about to cook with this patch: 41%

I legally do not let myself go too high until I can vibe check the livestream. But I’m 👁️

Some things on my mind about why I have a good feeling about this so far:

Albedo’s most recent notable appearance was in Simulanka this past summer, where he shows up in a way that made it very clear to me they were planning on revisiting his Dragonspine related plot threads very soon

If Wanderer isn’t featured here (because he absolutely would be if they were following through on the Durin thing right now) I’m assuming we aren’t getting the complete elaboration of that plot thread…but definitely going to be paving the way for some things. Albedo being featured w the two most potientslly explosive lore relevant mondstadt characters is one thing on its own, but Dragonspine being in the background just confirms something is up

I can’t get over how suspicious Venti looks here. This is kind of ground breaking in my brain bc while we’ve had years of suspicious allusions to venti in lore material it always been stuff you have to dig for, never front and center to this degree. This as I said could be a red herring in some form: I don’t believe with absolute certainty Genshin’s going to be going full on into whatever the hell Venti has going on right now and he could be more relevant than some ppl may be hopeful the art implies…but I think we’re getting something. They’re going to be dipping into it at least a little even if it’s just jangling Venti in front of us for 5 seconds like keys so they can bring him back later via swinging him like a bat at you full force

Kaeya’s recent notable appearances have also taken the time to tie him into new lore developments (see: Caribert). His hangout event (released in the same time frame as these lore drops) may have seemed mostly like fluff in this regard…but we do get what very much feels like the writing taking the time to imply Kaeya’s stance on his Mondstadt vs Khaenri’ah conflict which just makes me feel very “hmmmm”

Kaeya not being center focus on this poster and small…but still by Traveler gives me this impression he’s either just going to be chilling and show up a bit to help further the plot, or they’re really going to have us drag his ass through a Plot Beat and make sure he’s around it to, again, pave the way for things later

As for Jean…I can see her also just being here to chill or help out with plot progression like Kaeya, but maybe with a little less going on. There is another wildcard option here which is that genshin suddenly decides they really want to utilize her as an emotional focal point for whatever the current story is (genshin loves suddenly bringing in characters you thought they weren’t interested in delving into and suddenly really prioritizing you resonating with them emotionally). This would be kind of cool and a pleasant surprise, bc when executed well this phenomenon tends to contain some of genshin’s most compelling character writing…but isn’t really something I’m expecting. More just that I know it’s kind of a “lottery” possibility for if Genshin seems like they want to give more focus to a character: bc to me there’s a difference between Genshin pushing a char at you more vs suddenly deeply committing to them when they hadn’t before

I feel ive heard pretty consistent rumors about Mondstadt getting some focus/lore expansion these last few months…idk

We’re in the back end of the 5.x patches now, and this is definitely the timeframe where genshin wraps up most of the stuff they wanted to drop on the newest region upon launch and shift to focus on other things that they think need some attention. I noticed their momentum w patches being super interesting has been at generally a low point due to Natlan’s lukewarmness. My vibe is either they dropped the ball and just forgot how to make stuff land after having a good momentum w Sumeru + Fontaine, or they’re about to kinda pull themselves out of a “rut” and suddenly come in to knock it out of the park w a specific patch. Bc the latter is something I feel has happened before

We are still due for a 5.0 interlude patch….hmmmm

TLDR my vibe is genshin is at least about to dip their toes into some mondstadt related plot threads we haven’t seen much of in a while for this patch. However….and this is me straying on the conservative w my genshin writing intuition here, I don’t want to go in expecting they’re for sure going all the way with things right now. I’m more setting my expectations that we will at minimum be getting stuff that paves the way for greater slams of lore & plot elaboration…with the other end of the spectrum being this patch contains something that serves as a narrative catalyst/really starts shaking some things up. This is the range I’m placing it on…but I don’t feel confident getting my hopes up without more to vibe check off of

Venti, Kaeya, and Albedo are all characters I feel incredibly confident will be followed through on plot thread and lore relevance wise. Unless I actively see genshin fumble what it seems to have set up for them on screen I generally anticipate Genshin wants to commit to these characters and they’re on the path to either starring in some pretty iconic story moments like Xiao Perilous Trail, Scaramouche Sumeru AQ, Furina AQ, etc because…tbh if they don’t and make decisions that undermine the characters’ intrigue it would be a very negatively groundbreaking indication of how competent Genshin is capable of being in areas I feel tend to be more of its “strong suits” to me yk

So I’m anticipating something here. But these 3 characters are also ones I know genshin won’t want to really go all into until they really feel the time is right to #lock in. This is just generally how they write. They may leave a character chilling for years but then suddenly come in and give them an incredibly solid storyline out of no where, because my honest opinion is when Genshin really decides to commit to a character they’re usually REALLY about to go all in and basically any hype/emotional significant on screen character moment you probably like from Genshin falls into this category in my mind . So when it comes to characters I feel Genshin already knows it wants to utilize narratively like Venti or Albedo it’s really just a matter of scoping out if I think the vibe is right for wether Genshin seems ready to go all in

In the opinion of my twisted mind with hyper specific intuition about genshin character writing sensitivities . Of course. This may sound like nonsense to everyone else but trust me when I say it’s been a pretty consistent active vibe check for how much Genshin is going to cook or not for me in the past. NAHNSJSJSJS

[comradesummers]

adoring all of your takes on The Pitt. (And BTVS ofc) but wondering if you have any thoughts on Samira and Collins dynamic? Or Samira and Trinity?

thank you for asking! as you can see i'm definitely developing an obsession with the pitt. there are so many beautiful women and so many wonderful dynamics between them to dig into and explore. so thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so!

i find samira and collins' dynamic really interesting, because you get the impression that collins may have been a little judgemental of mohan pre-canon. i mean collins actually apologizes for calling her slo-mo, or at least for not intervening when her colleagues did. and mohan seems surprised when collins steps in with the influencer patient and advocates for her. so it seems like we're actually seeing a turning point in their relationship in real time, which is awesome! i really hope that next season, they've settled into a nice mentor/mentee relationship. collins may only be a year ahead of mohan, but, based on actor ages (which idk how accurate that is to the characters, but it's what we've got to go on rn), collins is over a decade older than mohan, and definitely more confident about where she is in life (another reason why i think she and mckay probably have a good relationship, they're of a similar age, meaning they both decided to become doctors later in life than a lot of their peers, but that's beside the point). and since mohan's relationship with robby can be a little rocky, i think she definitely appreciates having collins in her corner. meanwhile, i think collins maybe learns to be a bit more flexible through mohan. maybe she sees the value of making the kind of connection mohan makes with her patients and tries to implement that a little bit more into her interactions with patients, even as she maintains her own style (which is very effective and empathetic, she has great bedside manner, don't get me wrong! but samira is doing something different, and like robby says, teachers can learn too).

as for mohan and santos, i'm really looking forward to seeing their relationship develop next season as well! evidently, mohan is a far more effective mentor to santos than langdon is. she criticizes trinity for her bedside manner early on, and although santos is defensive at first, she later apologizes to samira and admits she still has a lot to learn. so that suggests to me that mohan is able to get through to santos effectively, and that santos respects that and is willing to take criticism from her. also, mohan is actually the only person to tell santos that the way langdon berated her was unacceptable. robby calls out langdon for this, but he doesn't check in with trinity until langdon actively tries poisoning the water against her, and even then, that conversation is never really about how trinity is feeling about it all. whereas, as much as trinity pretends to not be affected by langdon's rant, i think she really needs to hear it when mohan tells her that she didn't deserve any of it and that she does deserve to be there and is a good doctor. and i think that earlier in the day, mohan may have come to the not entirely unfounded conclusion that santos was overconfident and a bit of a pain in the ass, but that whole situation gave her a newfound respect for santos, and i get the feeling she'll be looking out for her in the future. also, based on actor ages at least, mohan and santos are basically the same age. and like mohan, i get the impression that santos doesn't really have much of a life outside of the hospital (at least she has her newfound wet cat bestie whitaker now!). so i'm really looking forward to them being loser best friends who kind of enable each other's worst habits. or possibly girlfriends who enable each other's worst habits! (i'm still on my mel/santos and mohan/mckay bullshit, but i could easily be sold on mohan/santos. that's what's so beautiful about this show! so many wonderful yuri combinations to be found and explored!)

Went to check salem daily ramble filled with buzzwords and i thought this comment was very very funny (as well as the locked replies) oh my god the image is huge is there a way to make it smaller😭

You cant go 'do not cancel this person for drawing idk necroshota content its their kink!!' while actively defending the person that shamed Sawyer for liking pooltoys idk. The locked comments is also so telling, Salem, go tell everyone what the people you follow actually post or something! Aren't you proud of white transfems doing what they want?

Its known you have alt accounts, how about you interact with dark content there? You're just begging to be called out at this point!

Two choice screenshots. First speaks for itself, second... If this is about salem, his number was never leaked, just address speculations - someone on twt got the ambulance for him iirc. Nobody is saying anything about his father either so... Stop making people up to be mad at, wis.

Also (couldn't snip) the 'i wouldn't have been treated like this on my teens if i was yt' post. Stop acting as if you were 15 when you got kicked off twitter. Most of your deal happened when you were 18-20, grow a pair and admit it. People aren't racist for pointing out the Green thing, or revvy, or the enabling countless minors to do risque fanart of pepper; its what you did (and I'm very sure its archived), why deny it?

You said it yourself, 'imagine sending porn to a minor and still expect to be back to the internet' (something like that) (admin if you have this tweet I'll praise the floor you walk over everyday) so... Just change porn with softcore and nsfw art tips

There were more than enough reasons not to want him on the internet before Sawyer came out, and just what happened as wolfertinger is enough to get him kicked out again idk how he's still there. Maybe flooding his blog is actually an strategy so people get exhausted of scrolling before seeing a quarter of the deal? Lol"
