loustat fairytale au? 👀
So I think the little mermaid could be a good match.... 🤔
Okay, so I’m cheating here because this is loumandstat and not technically a fairytale but Swan Lake!
1. Lestat as the Prince!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. Louis as a combined Odette and Odile figure. I feel like you could really play with the idea of transformation and identity both from human to bird but also Odette to Odile as transformation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. Armand as Von Rothbart.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
4. ‘What else is there’ - truly a Lestat moment
youtube
5. I feel like you could mash up a lot of different fun elements, give loustat the meeting of the King and the Princess from the Wild Swans fairytale, give loumand elements of the Finn the Keen Falcon fairytale, mix in some destabilisation of identity from the Black Swan movie and some nostalgia from The Swan Princess movies. It would also be an interesting writing challenge to try and capture the grace of ballet somehow in the writing and the descriptions of movement

Hello! I like your self aware hsr headcannons a lot, and was hoping you can post more of them? When you get the time ofc :) remember to drink water lol and take care <3 (this is my first time sending an ask, sorry if it's a bit wonky)
Hello, thank you for your lovely message! I’m so happy you enjoyed the headcanons! 🫶 No worries at all, it’s great to hear from you! And I’ll definitely make sure to drink water—your care is much appreciated!
Himeko begins to notice odd patterns in the way the world works, and, after some careful observation, she starts to wonder if there's something—or someone—controlling events. One day, she pulls the Trailblazer aside and whispers, “I don’t think I’m imagining it, but… do you ever get the feeling that there’s someone out there pulling strings for us?” She’ll ask you questions in passing, subtly probing if you have any answers.
Welt starts questioning his role within the universe after noticing inconsistencies in his own memories. “Sometimes I wonder,” he says, staring into the stars, “if we’re just pieces on a chessboard, moved by someone we’ll never meet.” Occasionally, he might say something like, “If I don’t make a decision, will it be made for me?” He becomes oddly philosophical, wondering about the deeper meaning of free will and fate.
Silver Wolf, a master of digital manipulation, starts playing around with the idea that you’re not just influencing the world but shaping it. She might joke, “Let me guess, you’re the one controlling all the variables, huh? Too bad you can’t fix this game with a patch.” Sometimes, if you do something unusual in combat, she’ll give you a sly wink and say, “I see you’re testing my limits again, huh? Don’t worry, I’ll play along.”
Clara, being the sweet and innocent soul she is, starts asking questions that are too pure to ignore. “Hey, is it true that you’re the one who decides when we get to go on adventures/battles? Can you make the stars shine brighter if you want to?” She’s mostly oblivious to the deeper implications, but there’s a childlike wonder in her eyes every time she talks about "you," as if you’re something magical. (Ugh precious 💖🫂)
March 7th seems to notice that the world doesn’t follow traditional logic. After a particularly bizarre event, she looks straight at you and says, “You know… I’m starting to think that you’re not just watching us… You’re making things happen.” or something like, “I bet you have all the answers. You must be the biggest secret keeper on the Express!”
The world of Honkai: Star Rail begins to subtly adjust to your presence. NPCs sometimes mutter under their breath about how things seem a bit too convenient. If you grind too much, they’ll comment, “Did you ever feel like you’ve been here before? Some of us feel like the world’s changing around us…” The idea that the world is aware of the shifts you make in it is a small, eerie undercurrent that runs through daily life.
These are the only ones I could come up for now 😭🙏, I hope you liked them!

Rainy Days
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆ .。.:*
A/N; More dad Wriothesley because I cannot stop thinking about him 🤕 it’s been raining a lot here so it inspired me to write this :P also follows a few of my headcanons from my last dad Wrio post!
Summary; With the wet season upon Fontaine, there’s no one who enjoys it quite like your daughter.
Content; Pure fluff, girl dad Wriothesley, fem reader, husband Wriothesley, playing in the rain, sweet silly family content
Wc; 1.6k
☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆ .。.:*
“Mama! Mama!” Marcille yells as she comes bursting through the back door. There’s mud caked on her shoes just as there always is when she plays outside, Marcille being eager to dig into the grass and dirt to find whatever new bugs wait in your backyard. It makes you think that maybe Wriothesley was right to give your daughter the nickname June bug. Just before she’s about to step onto your clean linoleum floors, Marcille stops herself and stays on the mat just like you told her to do when her shoes are dirty. Then she eagerly continues, “it’s about to storm again!”
You set down the rag you’d been using to dry the dishes, joining your daughter by the door. “Oh my, would you look at that.” You say, studying all the dark clouds that are rolling in from the horizon. They promise rain, possibly lightning and thunder too. “Sure seems like it, huh?”
The weather’s been this way for the past week or two, with Fontaine’s rainy season having fallen across the nation. It’s all cloudy skies, muddy yards, and puddles on the streets, along with the occasional howling winds and horrid thunder. It’s something you’ve easily gotten used to since you’ve always enjoyed the rain; that familiar smell right before it comes down, the cozy atmosphere whenever you’re able to curl up inside and listen to it tap against the windows and the roof. However, when you’re in the city, you can see the deep seated wariness in people’s eyes as they look up to the sky and see those heavy clouds, even though the prophecy has long since been buried. Some things never truly go away, you suppose.
Marcille, on the other hand, has taken after you with her love of the rain—the only difference is that she likes to be out in it. She’s been greatly enjoying playing outside in the weather and getting to see what worms wriggle out of the dirt to escape the flood. You’ve had to wrestle her into her rain coat every time while she claims she’s perfectly fine and definitely won’t get sick if she goes out in just her overalls, tee, and sneakers.
You hear the first few drops hit the ground before they steadily grow in number and speed and next thing you know it’s fully coming down. Marcille bounces on her toes, excitement written all over her face. “Mama! Can I go play?” She asks, struggling to hold herself back from just darting out into the downpour.
“Yes, Marci, but you know the rules, you need to get into your rain gear first.” You tell her, already digging into the closet for her cute light blue coat and frog boots. She begrudgingly lets you get her all dressed, the finishing touch being pulling the hood securely over her black and gray hair. “And remember, if there’s any thunder you come back inside.”
“I know, mama.” She groans, even as her eyes sparkle with anticipation.
“Alright, go on.” You say with a chuckle.
Marcille doesn’t need any more permission than that, immediately turning and darting out the door, flying off the steps, and into the rain. She giggles happily, spinning around in the droplets and flinging water off her sleeves. You watch her from the safety of your blissfully covered porch, instead content to just feel the nice and cool misted breeze blowing in. There’s a small smile on your face while you listen to the way she laughs and splashes about. You’re glad your daughter is such a happy kid, full of a love for life that’s changed both you and Wriothesley more than you could realize. Her joy is contagious, her fascination with every little thing refreshing. She’s one of the best things to happen to you two without a doubt.
You’re broken out of your thoughts by a hand on your back, making you jump. You look to your left and struggle to not burst out laughing at the sight of your husband.
Wriothesley’s absolutely soaked, his hair plastered to his forehead and his jacket dripping onto the porch. He smirks, clearly not too bothered by it. “Hey, sweetheart. You can laugh.”
You do just that, unable to get over the fact that he looks like a drowned dog. You pull him in despite the water drenching his clothes, brushing the hair from his face and kissing him while his hands find their familiar place on your hips. You hold his cheeks as you pull away, his skin a little cold from the rain. “Did you forget your umbrella?” You say through a giggle.
He sighs in defeat. “Yes, I did. I was too eager to come home.”
You hum. “You are back awful early. Did something happen?”
He shakes his head. “It’s more what didn’t happen. Barely any substantial paperwork, and nobody decided to cause trouble so I was… encouraged to leave early.”
You can only imagine it was probably Sigewinne and Wriothesley’s new assistants haggling him to leave the office and just go on home. You can’t complain really, you’re glad he’s been open to changing his work ethic so he can be with you and Marcille more often, so he can have things outside of the Fortress. He still handles 99% of Meropide of course, but he’s at least beginning to share a small part of the burden. It’s clearly gotten rid of some of the tension in his shoulders, even if he refuses to admit it. Both you and Sigewinne can see it clear as day, anyway.
Wriothesley kisses you again before looking to Marcille who’s crouched close to the ground, intensely watching something that’s probably without a doubt a bug. “Is she having fun?” He asks you, fondness instantly making his features soften.
You huff a laugh. “Of course she is, she’s been having a ball with this weather.” You then call, “Marci! Papa’s home!”
You giggle when your daughter’s head snaps up and you hear her gasp, little splashes following her rapid footsteps as she runs through the yard and back up the steps. She practically tackles her father’s legs, Wriothesley barely stumbling while he chuckles. He scoops her up with ease, both of them equally soaked by the rain. He brushes a stray droplet off her cheek with his thumb as she beams. “Hey, June bug. You have a good day?”
She puts her little arms around his neck and nods eagerly. “Mhm! Mama took me to the bakery today! We got something for you too, papa!”
Wriothesley’s eyes widen. “Really? You did? Thank you, princess, that’s very sweet.”
She looks triumphant, pleased at the memory of her insisting you get Wriothesley something at the bakery too—even if you were already planning on it. She took a long time deciding on something, looking through every option in the bake case. She at last settled on a vanilla teacake, proudly telling the baker, Augustine, her choice so he could pull it out for her. He played along, telling her she picked a very good one and she had grinned.
“Oh! Then we had lunch with Gracie and her mama at the sandwich place! It was so good, I wanna go again tomorrow! And, and, we went to the bookstore and got new books for me to read!” Marcille explains.
Marcille’s school is currently on their spring break, which means you’ve gotten to spend the last couple days with your daughter. It’s been nice, taking her around Fontaine and having her help you where she can with your inventor work. She’s always curious about what you’re tinkering with and you end up relenting, letting her see the less dangerous bits. It’ll be nice when Wriothesley has time off tomorrow so he can have his own day with Marcille—you know she’s been looking forward to it.
“You’ll have to show me later, June bug. Sure sounds like you had a fun day, huh?” Wriothesley asks as he sets her down, though she still clings to his pant leg. She nods again, then gazing longingly at the rain that’s still heavily falling. You already know what she’s going to ask before she even looks up at her father.
She blinks innocently at him. “Papa, will you come play with me?”
He sighs and smiles, putting a hand on her head. He’s unbelievably weak to her. “Of course, princess. Let me just get my rain coat so I don’t get even more wet, alright?”
“Yay!” Marcille beams, then darting off back into the yard and immediately jumping in whatever puddles she can find.
“Won’t you join us, my love?” Wriothesley asks you teasingly, holding out his hand to you and laughing as he watches your face scrunch with distaste at having to go out in the downpour. But despite that, you give in and take his hand anyway because otherwise you’d feel like you’re missing out on something.
You both put on your rain coats, his black and yours a dark blue, and you tug on your rain boots. Now shielded, you two join your daughter. Marcille squeals happily when she sees that you’ve decided to come out into the rain as well, her joy undoubtedly spreading to you once again as you match her grin.
While most are hidden inside their homes, waiting out the bad weather, the three of you embrace it. You and Marcille dance around and she asks Wriothesley to make little ice sculptures from the water, one of his secret talents he only brings out for you two. He makes tiny animals and flowers in an instant, even creating beetles and butterflies in the palms of his hands—his newest creations that took a lot of perfecting. You watch as Marcille laughs and Wriothesley smiles, and you realize that few things are better than this.
You really do love the rain.

on my mind
Tumblr media
josh dun x fem reader
you wanted my heart but i just liked your tattoos poured it down, so i poured it down with you
and now i don’t understand why i got you on my mind?
warnings: smut, porn with a plot, smoking (weed), slight drinking, language, oral (fem receiving), face riding, penetration, josh is very much a giver in this, unprotected sex (be safe y’all don’t do that), slight praise kink, fluffy ending, proofread very lightly
WC: 7,000+
a/n: i wrote this very casually since i’m putting my energy into my main series right now, but i got this idea so i wanted to write it :) excuse any grammar or spelling errors it’s not proofread perfectly! this is the first smut i’ve written in a long time so just keep that in mind lol :p also i was young during this era of tumblr so excuse me if i get any terminology or vibes wrong lmao
summary: it’s 2014 and you’re tumblr famous. after he recently joined the platform, josh dun of twenty one pilots follows you. you aren’t quite sure who he is at first, with only slight knowledge about the band. but as you get to chat and know each other more he invites you to a show and to get a drink after, but it’s never just a drink is it?
i sit at my desk on call with my friend sam, the fairy lights strung across the wall and the glow of the computer screen being the only sources of light. i scroll through my tumblr as we chat, scrolling through some notifications and replying to a few notes.
i had somewhat of a reputation of the platform, some even referring to me as tumblr famous. i was well known on the more grunge side of things, posting aesthetic photography of record stores, ciggerates with edgy lryics on them, you get the gist. but i also occasionally posted pictures of myself, mostly to show off cute outfits or new hair colors, but i was pretty insecure about posting myself. the reason i had been on the phone with sam was actually because she had spurred me on to post a slightly suggestive picture of myself and i needed mental support. it was of me in a small tank, a black skater skirt with black matching thigh highs and chokers adorned on my neck as i lay on my side in my bed. in it my face rested against my hand, my thumb resting against my parted lips. i had edited an array of emoji around me that matched the color tones of the photo in a satisfying way.
the post had done numbers, but now i unfortunately had to deal with the anxiety of being this widely perceived.
“ughh why did i post it.” i groan, burying my face in my hands.
“dude stop you look so hot!” sam defends the photo. “people are loving it, you have no reason to worry.” she soothes me.
sam was somewhat of a life coach when it came to my insecurities and about posting myself like this. she often was the only reason i posted pictures i had been planning to keep to myself, she was my number one hype man and i was beyond grateful to have her in my life. i just didn’t fully appreciate that aspect of her right in the moment of clarity after a post starts getting attention.
i scroll through my notifications, not fully paying attention until i saw i had gotten a new follower a few days ago. that itself wasn’t an abnormal occurrence, i just felt strangely drawn to the profile. i scroll down and see this person had liked multiple of my posts before following, and had just liked my recent one. i glance at the username, it reading stillstreet. i click on the profile and look at the users profile picture. huh, he was kind of cute… he didn’t have his name on his blog though, just an x files reference. that’s nerdy, i like it. he had a lot of followers, maybe he was famous for something?
i skim through his posts and reblogs, he seemed sweet and had a sense of humor that reminded me of my own. when i looked further i saw pictures posted of him at the drums playing shows. so he was an artist?
“hey sam, do you know a blog called stillstreet?” i ask curiously.
“uh yeah durr, that’s josh dun!” she says, as if it was an obvious fact.
“who?”
“OH MY GOD i’ve talked about him before!” she complains.
“sam you talk about a minimum of 50 dudes you think are hot a day, i lose track sometimes.” i defend myself and she goes silent.
“ok i honestly can’t argue with that but he’s from twenty one pilots! don’t you know them?”
oh yeah, i knew some of their songs. i heard car radio on playing on the alt rock station often and had a few of their songs liked. people on tumblr also posted about them quite a bit, i just never paid attention enough to know the people behind the band.
“oh that’s who he is?” i ask, shocked. “he just followed me.” i say in confusion, squinting as i went through more of his posts.
“ok haha very funny, i see what you were trying to do now.” sam says unamused, as if she just uncovered some prank i was pulling on her,
“i’m not lying!”
“prove it!” sam says and i turn my camera to my laptop, going to my notfications and scrolling down the one stating that he had followed me.
“OH MY GOD!” sam shouts and i cover my ears, my volume was set all the way up due to her voice being quiet before, as i didn’t expect her to be yelling at any point.
“sam my ears!”
“you have to do something about this oh my god.” she says in disbelief, ignoring my complaint.
“what do you mean ‘do something’, all he did was follow me!” i say with a laugh.
“you don’t know that, you never check your messages!” she argues. that was true, i typically tried to avoid it, as they tended to be a cesspool sometimes.
“ok fine, if it makes you happy.” i say with a roll of my eyes, clicking to message him, expecting to prove sam wrong. to my disbelief, she was right. he did message me. i go silent.
“oh my god… he messaged me.”
“WHAT DID HE SAY?” she shouts again.
“oh my god im turning my volume down now.” i say and then focus to read the message.
stillstreet:hey! sorry to randomly message you like this, i just wanted to say i like your posts a lot, idk if that’s weird or not…
i read the message back to sam, slightly giggling at his obvious anxiety in the message, it was sweet.
“you need to respond back like now.”
“and say what!”
“say oh my gosh thanks! can we fuck?” sam says in an extremely girly voice that sounded nothing like my own.
“SAM stop!”
“i’m sorry he’s hot i would so not be able to control myself.” she whines. “plus if he’s messaging you like that there’s a chance that might be his intention.” she insinuates.
“oh please! all he said was that my posts are cool…”
“yeah he’s trying to start conversation because he saw your posts and thought you were sexy!”
“ok well let me see what’s actually going on.” i say, trying to come up with a reply in my head.
do i just thank him? no the conversation could die there. i had to continue with a question.
(y/n):thank you so much, i really appreciate it. :) how’d you find me?
i ask him, trying to play it cool. i continue conversation with sam, mostly her raving to me about josh dun and twenty one pilots until he replied again.
“ok hold on, he responded.” i say, pausing our conversation to read the message to her.
stillstreet:i saw your photography when i was scrolling through some tags. i checked out your blog since i liked your style and i got to see more of you and your own personal style too and just decided i liked it. you seem like a cool girl :)
“you seem like a cool girl?!” sam repeats back dramatically. “oh i’m wet!”
“SAM oh my god calm yourself!” i scold her, despite the fact i felt myself flush at his words. “jeez you are going crazy over this man i should just send him over to you at this point.” i joke.
“no! you are the chosen one and i respect that, but if you fuck him you are required to give me every detail so i can live vicariously through you.” she says and i roll my eyes with a smile, giving up on stopping her from being vulgar. i pause, trying to think of a suitable response. “i’ll at least give you a cameo in our conversation.” i say to her playfully, starting to type my response.
“josh dun is gonna know i exist? oh my god i could die.” she says, estatic.
(y/n):thank you! <3 yeah photography used to be the only main thing on this blog, i’m a little insecure about posting myself sometimes but my friend sam has been my hype woman for me recently
i responded. maybe i was over sharing … i start to worry but josh responds quickly.
stillstreet:really? well i’m glad you have her, i’m happy to be able to see you. not to be too straightforward but you’re really pretty. i’m really surprised you’re insecure about posting.
my stomach swirls as i read the message in my head.
“(y/n)! what did he say?” sam says, pulling me out of my head. i read the message back to her in disbelief.
“oh my god.” she says, covering her hand with her mouth. (y/n) he wants you…”
i feel my heart beat speed up. this cute band member liked me? i decide to be chill about it, but also let him know i was interested.
(y/n):why thank you, i have to say you aren’t too bad looking yourself ;)
i immediately close my laptop in fear of what he would respond with, maybe that was too bold. “sam distract me!” i say, anxiously fidgeting with my hands.
“ok! let me send you more pictures of your man so you can see what you’re working with.” she says and sends me a bunch of picture’s over imessage. i open the notification, scrolling through them.
“woah, holy shit…” i say, admiring josh’s messy hair, his prominent arm muscle’s and abs, his sweat slicked skin and hair during shows, a mask he would wear that he still looked oddly sexy in, and especially his tattoos. the way the beautiful patchwork spotted across his skin lied just right on his toned arm.
“i know!” sam says, affirming his attractiveness. “his hair’s pink right now it’s soo cute.”
i reopen my laptop to see that josh had responded to me again.
stillstreet: oh really? maybe we should get to know each other more then :)
── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ── ── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ── ── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ──
for the rest of that night, me and josh continued conversation getting to know more about each other. we talked about everything, our childhoods, our favorite music, shows and movies. as we got to know each other more over the next few days we even got into deeper topics, such as some of the struggles we face in our personal lives. i’ve never felt so easily connected with someone before, something about him just drew me in. he just got me. i tried not to let myself not get too attached despite this fact, if it was just a hookup he was looking for i would be ok with that. he’s an attractive man and it’s not something i would end up regretting. i lie in bed, staring up at my ceiling until i get a notification. i check it and smile when i see that josh had messaged me.
stillstreet: good morning :)
(y/n):hey! what’s up?
stillstreet: i wanted to ask you something actually
my stomach swirls in anticipation. what was there to ask? was he going to ask to hookup? was he going to ask what it was we were doing? was he going to end whatever it was we had going on?
(y/n):of course, shoot.
stillstreet: well i know that you had mentioned that you live in LA, me and tyler are on tour right now and we’re playing there in a few days. i was wondering if you maybe wanted to come to the show? only if you want to of course
(y/n):yes! i’d love that. not to push my luck but can my friend sam maybe come along? she’ll leave us alone i promise lmao
stillstreet: of course! and don’t even worry about it, i’d love to meet her too. i’ll talk to my crew and get you both backstage passes so you can watch the show comfortably.
(y/n):why thank you sir, i feel like royalty
stillstreet: to me you are!
── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ── ── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ── ── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ──
of course when i told sam about the news she was beside herself.
“(y/n) have i told you how much i love you?” sam asks, sitting at the vanity in my room to do her makeup for the show.
“yes frequently and ironically enough it’s been ever since i told you about the tickets!” i say jokingly, sifting through the hangers in my closet, at a loss for what to wear. shirts and tanks were thrown all across the room.
“sam what do i wear?” i groan and she looks over at me.
“aren’t you literally like internet famous for always knowing that?” she asks playfully and i roll my eyes.
“now i wouldn’t say that…”
“you’re too humble for the fact that we’re literally getting ready to go backstage for a twenty one pilots show because the josh dun wants to fuck you.”
“stop saying he wants to fuck me!”
“i’ll stop once you prove me wrong!” she says and goes back to her makeup. “but if i were you i would be bragging my ass off about this.”
i smile and shake my head. “yes i know you would. you’re very predictable in that sense. ok now help me! what do people usually wear to their shows?”
“uhh i don’t know i’ve actually never been to one, but their aesthetic has a lot of blue and red because of their latest album and they also wear skeleton hoodies and ski masks often if that gives you any inspiration.”
“wait… yeah that actually helps a lot.” i say after i get an idea, going to the drawer that holds my tanks and grabbing the black mesh tank i had with skeleton bones on it. i grab a black lace bralette to wear underneath it, an oversized dark blue deinem jacket adorned with rips, and my black pleated skater skirt and thigh highs i wore in my most recent post. i sort through the jewelry on my jewelry tray and grab a blue transparent choker and a red transparent choker.
“oh that’s cute!” sam shouts after i put the outfit on.
“you really think? it’s not doing too much?”
“babe it’s doing just enough he won’t be able to keep his hands off you.” sam says and my stomach swirls at the thought.
i finish the look with a dark matte makeup look, and put my creepers on before heading out to the car with sam to leave for the show.
── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ── ── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ── ── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ──
me and sam were leaning against the car outside the venue. the sky still gloomy after the aftermath of rain earlier in the day and the smell of damp asphalt was lingering in the air. i hold myself with my arms, slightly shivering.
“maybe this outfit wasn’t the best idea.” i say, hugging myself even tighter as a chilling wind blew.
“you look cute! it’s worth it.” she says, focused on fishing the little container that held the joint we planned to smoke out of her purse. we had no desire to get our buzz from 20 dollar seltzers in the venue and we were both undeniably anxious about going backstage for our own reasons. it was just a little something to take the edge off.
she takes it out of the container, lighting it as her hands slightly tremble. “are you also so incredibly nervous or is it just me?” sam asks, taking a puff and then handing it over to me.
“fuck yeah i am… i hope he likes me in person too.” i say worriedly, taking a hit and passing it back to her.
“at least you’ve already talked to josh, i’m trying to think of like a million things i could say to him and tyler but none of them sound right… i hope it’s not awkward.”
“i’m sure it’ll be fine, they’ll probably be distracted setting up for the show anyway.” i say nervously, taking another puff and sam takes out her camera.
“photo op!” she says taking a picture of me blowing out the smoke and i roll my eyes with a smile.
“thank you my little photographer.” i say playfully.
the two of us finish smoking and start walking to the side entrance that josh told me to go to. as i walk i start to feel the pleasant lightness of the joint, putting a little bit of my nervousness at ease. we were met with a tall, burly slightly intimidating looking security guard.
“hi um our names should be on the list to get it.” i say timidly.
“names?”
i give him our full names and he nods, opening the door for us, revealing two other security guards that led us to the backstage.
as we walked down the dark hall, the sounds of distant rustling and thudding come into earshot as we got closer.
“what if this is just a setup for us to be murdered?” sam asks and i elbow her. “what! this is kinda scary…” she whispers.
but the feeling of unease was lifted when the security guards open the doors for us, leading us to the backstage which was warmly let and filled with crew mates conversing and setting up for the show. amongst the crew mates scattered around were josh and tyler standing in the corner immersed in conversation. the security guards lead us to them and a wave of anxiety washes over me as the boys look up at the two of us. i make eye contact with josh and his eyes light up, him flashing me a warm smile.
“these are your girls right?” one security guard asks and josh slightly chuckles at the wording.
“yeah they are, thank you man.” josh says and the security guard walks away with a nod.
the four of us all stand together, a silence quickly interrupted by giggles, all of us aware of the awkwardness of the situation. this was clearly a new thing for them, which made me feel special in a way. it was nice to know josh wasn’t just always bringing girls backstage, he didn’t seem like the type.
“hi, im tyler nice to meet you guys.” the brunette says kindly, shaking sam and i’s hands.
“i’m (y/n).” i say with a smile and tyler chuckles.
“oh i know this dude hasn’t shut up about you.” tyler says while pointing at his friend, josh smacking his arm and then glaring. “hey i told you i was going to embarrass you man.” tyler says, putting his hands up in defense.
“it feels like my dad’s meeting my girlfriend on prom night.” josh jokes and we all giggle.
sam gets caught up in conversation with tyler about the boy’s music, perfectly toeing the line between fan girl and casual fan. she clearly put a lot of thought into how to act in this situation. josh steps closer to me as sam and tyler were immersed in their own world, leaving the two of us alone.
“i feel like i haven’t properly said hello to you yet.” he says apologetically with a chuckle, then holding his arms out for a hug and i quickly accept it, almost feeling dizzy as my hands wrap around his strong back.
“you guys have fun before this?” josh asks jokingly after he pulls away, picking up the faint scent of weed mixed with the sweet perfume on my clothes.
i laugh softly, embarrassed that this was his first impression of me. “i’m sorry i probably smell like a joint…” i say apologetically, my face hidden in my hands.
“no don’t apologize it’s not too much it smells nice- you smell nice sorry this sounds creepy.” he rushes out, the two of us laughing.
“no it’s not, it’s sweet.” i say, looking at him with a smile and fully taking in his messy pink hair, his friendly hazel eyes, his pink lips and his cute nose ring. not the mention the muscle tank he was wearing that left no room for imagination… something about those damn tattoos really just got me.
he seemed to be analyzing me the same way, his eyes momentarily flicking downwards then upwards again to meet my gaze. “wow, you’re even prettier in person.” he says in a soft disbelief.
i flush softy, my stomach doing somersaults at his words. “why thank you, i could say the same for you sir.” i say and he smiles widely.
“you’re too sweet.”
the two of us walk around the backstage area conversing as josh prepares for the show.
“do you ever get nervous before these things?” i ask, slightly glancing at him as he walks besides me.
“honestly yeah. it’s more before we go on stage thoigh, no matter how many shows i’ve played and how much bigger the venues have gotten i always get that anxious feeling in my stomach. but when i get up there and start playing it all goes away, it feels like im in a trance honestly.” he says and i smile at him admiringly, taking in his passion for his art. he glances over at me, noticing my silence.
“sorry i’m rambling…”
“no no i was just… admiring.” i admit with an embarrassed chuckle. “it’s really cool how passionate you are, it’s inspiring.” i say and he smiles.
“really?”
“really.” i say, the two of us facing each other, a silence lingering as we gazed into each others eyes. he looks down at me, shyly brining his hand up to my face and slightly running his thumb across my jaw, me leaning into the touch.
“josh we’re doing the last sound checks right now.” tyler’s sudden voice startles me out of my hypnotized state. i look over and tyler smiles apologetically, seeing that he had interrupted a moment between us.
“alright, coming!” he replies to him and looks back to me. “i’m sorry, i have to go now.” josh says sadly and reaches out his hand to mine and i take it. “are we still on for drinks after the show?” josh asks with hope.
“of course.” i say with a smile, looking down at our intertwined hands.
“i’m really glad.” he says, squeezing my hand affectionately before he lets go and walks over to meet tyler. “enjoy the show.” josh says looking back at me over his shoulder with a subtle wink.
i smile to myself as he walks away, letting out a startled yelp when i suddenly felt a pair of hands on my shoulders.
“oh my god you guys are so cute!” sam gushes, slightly shaking me.
“sam you scared the shit out of me!”
“were you guys gonna kiss? oh my god the tension was crazzyy!” she says, ignoring my comment.
“wait you were watching us?”
“uh duh i found a hiding spot and i needed to see how things were going with you two!”
“you creep!” i say and slightly shove her, her sticking her tongue out in retaliation.
“were you flirting with tyler?” i joke and she shakes her head.
“nahh he has a girlfriend i’m not that kinda girl, but i did kinda hit it off with one of the crew members.” she says and i laugh.
“damn girl you had a whole agenda for like the hour i was gone!”
“hey i had to entertain myself somehow while you and josh have been away getting all lovey dovey!”
i attempt to front annoyance but couldn’t even hide how happy i was about all of this, a smile slowly growing on my face. sam catches on and playfully nudges me.
“this is a good night huh?” she asks with a smile.
── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ── ── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ── ── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ──
the show was amazing. i didn’t know what to expect from just the two of them, but the amount of energy they had completely made up for the lack of other members. the songs were beautiful and josh’s drumming was phenomenal. something about him when he was performing was so enigmatic. the way he seemed to get lost in the beat, the way his sweat slicked skin glistened under the glowing lights, the way he couldn’t help but smile when the crowd cheered his name. he would occasionally look back at me, flashing a smile when he had the chance. it made me feel a type of way i hadn’t felt before.
to say sam enjoyed the show was an understatement. the whole time she was jumping and yelling the lyrics, dancing and making me dance with her against my will. i was overjoyed by the fact that i got to give her this experience while also having my own special experience with josh. the two of us had parted ways when me and josh had left to get drinks, her also leaving with the crew member she’d been telling me about.
“hey we’re both getting lucky tonight!” she had cheered to me, which of course earned her an eye roll.
now, josh and i sat at the counter of a hip bar downtown, led signs reflecting a red shine on our faces and the sound of artic monkeys playing lightly from a jukebox in the background. i sip on a blackberry-basil martini, the sweetness mixing pleasantly with the slight burn of the alcohol.
“that show was amazing, i’ve never seen anything like that.” i say to josh, trying not to gush too much.
he smiles sheepishly, taking a small sip of his drink. “thank you, that really means a lot coming from you.” he says genuinely.
“just seeing you play up there too i don’t know your energy is just… magnetic.” i admit and he tilts his head in interest, his eyes locking with mine as he leans forward slightly.
“how so?” he asks teasingly, his pearly teeth slightly revealed as he chuckles softly.
“i don’t knowww.” i drag out, embarrassed and letting out a slight laugh, hoping he’d just drop the topic.
“aw come on don’t get all shy on me.” he says, playfully nudging my arm.
“you’re just.. the way you get so lost in the drums.. it’s like you’re on another planet. and the way you glow under the lights it’s like you’re an angel or something.” i say with a slight giggle, him softly laughing too. “yeah… i don’t know it’s just something about.. sorry never mind this it weird of me.” i stop myself, embarrassed
“what?” he asks playfully. “c’mon you can say it.” he says, his light demeanor spurring me on to continue.
“the way you play with such relish, the way you tilt your head back and take everything in i…” i start trailing off, slightly flushing as i felt his intent gaze on me. “i’m trying to find an artsy way to say this but i can’t. it’s just really fucking hot.” i admit, the slight buzz from this drink and my previous one giving me a boost of confidence.
i watch a slight smirk form on his pink lips as he looks at me, me tilting my head away in embarrassment.
“really?” he asks softly
“really.” i admit, meeting his gaze, my face still flushed.
he chuckles, bringing a hand to my cheek briefly to stroke the warm skin streaked with a soft pink. “you’re really cute you know that?” he asks and i shake my head in response.
“no, really.” he says, matching my previous response, his pupils slightly dilating as we hold the eye contact.
my whole body starts to feel warm, and all the sudden the need to jump his bones started to feel irresistible.
“hey… you don’t have to say yes i completely understand if you’re not comfortable with this but.. me and tyler are staying at a hotel nearby and i have a room alone tonight. would you maybe wanna… spend the night?” he asks gently, seeming the have the exact same thoughts running through his mind as i did.
“yes, that sounds great…” i reply, quickly catching onto what he was insinuating.
after he pays the tab the two of us walk to the hotel hand in hand, his thumb stroking my hand lightly as the sounds of the city droned on in the background. we walk in silence, not an uncomfortable silence, but one that held an air of anticipation.
after we had walked into the lobby, the pace of our walk had slightly picked up, almost speed walking as we went down the hall leading to his room. he lets go of my hand to swipe his key card and lets us in, quickly shutting the door behind us. almost immediately, his hands found my waist and i grabbed onto his shoulder and the back of his neck, leaning him into me so our lips touched.
he quickly reacts, matching the pace of my lips, his lips soft against my own as he ran his tongue across my bottom lip. i let my tongue softly graze across his, the warm feeling sending a deep sensation right to my core. i lean into him more as he deepens the sloppy kiss, him entangling his fingers in my hair while letting out a shaky breath through his nose. i feel myself get lost in the kiss, unaware of how much time had passed until he finally pulls away for air, a slight string of drool attached to our lips that fell when he moved his head down to my neck. he kisses down the skin, goosebumps being left in wake of his lips. i whine gently at the feeling, him softly groaning in response.
the sound made me feel lightheaded with need, and the feeling intensified when he slowly ran his tongue up my neck. i squirm, my breathing becoming more ragged when he hit the sweet spot. he sees this and leans in, pressing me against the door as he sucks on it gently, then grazing his teeth against it, the ticklish sensation intoxicating. i lean my head against the door, feeling completely out of control as he leads kisses across my neck, continuing to lick, suck and bite. he trails his large fingers up the bare skin of my thigh, the touch sending an electric shock through my body.
“can i?” he asks breathlessly, his fingers slightly grasped onto the edge of my skirt.
“y-yes. please.” i reply quickly and he moves his hand under my skirt, his fingers ghosting over where i needed him most, stroking me through the slowly dampening material of my panties. i let out shaky breaths as he teases me, continuing to kiss my neck. he finally moves his hand up to my hip, dragging down my panties past my thighs until they fell down my legs, pooling on the floor. he moves his fingers across my core spreading my wetness and i softly whine. he smiles against my neck at this, slowly entering his long fingers into me, a shaky moan falling out of my lips. he stills his fingers for a moment, moving his head back to mine, smiling as we momentarily make eye contact. he leans in to slowly make out with me again, beginning to thrust his fingers in as deep as possible. i moan into his mouth as i try to focus on matching the pace of his lips, finding it increasingly hard as his fingers moving in and out of me seemed to keep hitting all the right spots. the room was quiet besides for the sounds of our heavy breathing, my occasional moans, the sound of our lips moving together and the sound of his fingers moving in and out of my soaking arousal.
he finally withdraws his fingers, holding eye contact as he enters his fingers into his mouth, closing his eyes as he cleans them off with his tongue. “fuck.” i whisper in a slight daze as i watch him, his eyes squinting as he smiled in return.
“c’mere.” he says affectionately, grabbing my hand to lead me to the large bed, him falling back against the pillows and gently moving my body on top of his. i almost moan just from feeling how hard he was against my thigh. he entangles his fingers in my hair, leading my face down to meet his lips and we continue making out. i softly grind against his clothed thigh, needing relief for the burning need in my core. he softly chuckles into the kiss at this, then pulling away.
“do you wanna uh..” he starts, slightly sheepish. “you can sit on my face?…” he suggests and i almost whine just at his words.
“a-are you sure?”
“fuck yeah.” he says lustfully, gripping the revealed skin of my thigh from my skirt riding up. “come here.” he says, motioning me over with his two fingers as he lays himself flatter on the bed. i crawl further up, finally hovering above his face, my cheeks flushing from how vulnerable the position made me feel.
he smirks up at me before pulling me down by my thighs, his tongue immediately making contact with my core. i let out a gasp as he starts to thrust his strong tongue in, his nose rubbing deliciously against my clit. “josh..” i whine and he groans against me, the vibration going right to my center.
he laps up my wetness, moving up to suck on my clit. i moan and lean forward, tangling my fingers in his pink hair. i slightly tug at it as i feel myself getting closer to the edge, him moaning at the feeling. my hips seem to move on their own, slowly grinding against his face, chasing even more of the pleasure he was giving me. he took it well, letting me use him to get off as i pleased, sticking his long tongue deep inside me as i rode it.
the sight of his focused expression, his strong tattooed arm holding onto my thigh, his noises, the way he was devouring me like a starved man… it was all too much. “josh i-im gonna cum.” i whine breathlessly and he hums encouragingly, intensifying the movements of his tongue. when he moved his lips to suck on my clit again that’s when i lost it. “fuck!” i nearly shout, cumming so hard my vision blurred momentarily.
i grip the bedsheets roughly as josh kept up his movements, licking me clean. he pulls away and i climb back down, pausing to catch my breath. i hold onto his hips and he looks at me with a dazed smile, brushes a strand of hair behind my ear, then wipes the wetness off his face with his arm.
“wow that was..” i pant hard, looking up at the ceiling as i try to compose myself.
he giggles and leans forward to catch my lips, the taste of myself lingering on them.
“i’m glad you liked it, god that was hot you taste amazing.” he says, running a hand through his tousled hair.
i look down at him, his hair messy, his cheeks slightly flushed and droplets of sweat starting to bead on his forehead.
“god you’re so sexy it’s unreal.” i muse and he smiles bashfully.
“says you, you’re literally an angel.” he says, running a hand down my face. his eyes then drift down to my tank. he slowly moves his hands to it, moving them to grab onto the edges. “can i?” he asks and i nod. he pulls the mesh over my head, leaving me in my bralette. “god this has been driving me crazy all night.” he says, running his thumb over the lace material. i let out a sharp breath at the feeling of his finger running over my hardened nipple. “you look so beautiful in it.” he says, leaning down to press kisses across my chest and down my stomach. he gets to my skirt and i hoist my upper body up slightly so he can slide it down. “and this combo of the skirt and thigh highs… shittt.” he says with a soft laugh, kissing down the soft skin of my thighs, me biting my lip at the feeling. he playfully bites at the skin of my upper thigh and i giggle.
he rolls down the socks, then runs his hands across my smooth legs. at last, he leans forward and gently curves his hands around my back and his fingers go to the back of my bralette, fumbling momentarily before fully undoing the clips. he leans back and lets out an uneven breath, taking in my full bare figure. the way he looked at me with such desire and such curiosity made me feel vulnerable, but at the same time it made me feel undeniably sexy.
he moves both his hands up to my breasts, softly kneading and running his hands down them, circling my nipples with his thumbs. i let out a soft whine at the stimulation.
“wow… you look like a goddess.” he says, running his hands down my figure. he leans in to leave kisses down my chest, then takes a nipple into his mouth, sucking the bud gently.
“mmm fuck.” i whine at the feeling and he groans softly, moving to the other side and repeating the same motion. “josh fuck me please.” i whine, unable to take the teasing anymore.
he looks up at me, his hazel eyes darkened from how blown out his pupils had become. “you sure?” he asks and i nod vigorously.
“please.”
he bites his lip and peels his shirt off, my eyes widening as i take in the sight of his toned abs. “oh my god…” i say, my mouth slightly gaped as i run my fingers from his chest to his abs and he lets out a breathy laugh. he undoes his jeans, leaving him in his dark boxers, the tent in them being extremely prominent. i reach out my hand to softly stroke him through the material, feeling how hard he was. he groans quietly, then pulls it fully out, the tip reddened and leaking with pre cum. it was long and thick, to the point i was wondering if it would even fully fit.
“shit let me get get a condom.” he remembers, reaching over to the nightstand but i grab his arm.
“i um… i’m on birth control and i’m clean if it’s alright with you we can just…” i start sheepishly and he wastes no time crawling over me.
“hell yeah. i am too.” he says, petting my hair while looking down at me. “you ready?” he asks gently and i nod in confirmation.
he looks down in focus as he lines himself up with my entrance and slowly slides in, my eyes rolling back at the feeling of being so overwhelmingly filled up. the two of us let out shaky moans when he fully bottoms out. he holds onto my shoulders, his head drooping as he starts thrusting slow and deep.
“fuck you feel so good… so warm and.. tight.” he groans shakily, stroking my jaw. i look up at him, letting out soft moans, barely feeling on this planet from the bliss of his controlled thrusts. i let out a gasp as he hits just the right spot and he catches on, thrusting the same way over and over. i pull him down by his hair roughly and he groans, matching the pace of my lips. the kiss was sloppy, a mix of tongue and teeth as the two of us were being overtaken by pleasure.
“josh…” i whimper and he lets out a broken moan, his thrusts starting to quicken, still hitting deep inside me.
“doing so good for me… making me feel so good.” he coos, stroking my cheek and i almost cum right then and there.
“fuck.” i whine, moving my hips to match the rhythm of his thrusts. i look up at him, his cheeks tinted and beaded with sweat, his hair slick, his eyes darkened, his pink lips swelled and slightly parted as he let out quick heavy breaths.
he leans in to kiss me again and as much as i try to focus on kissing him back, the pleasure was too much. my mouth goes slack as i lean my head back again the pillow and he giggles, continuing to thrust as he leans down. “you feeling good?” he whispers in my ear, the sensation sending tingles of pleasure down my spine.
“y-yes.” i whine, painfully turned on by how he was talking to me.
“yeah?” he whispers, playfully licking the shell of my ear, then biting the lobe before he starts to thrust harder. it was a blissful state, my head thrown back, completely losing myself in the feeling, my senses being completely drowned by him. no other thought other than josh deserved a lick of acknowledgment in that moment, not when his words were so sweet and he was fucking me so good that his name was coming out of my lips like a prayer.
i whine at the loss when he pulls out suddenly, takes hold of my thighs, and brings my legs up to each side of his shoulders. he puts his arms behind my lower back, slightly hoisting me up. he readjusts himself and then enters me again, sliding all the way in. the new angle offered a sense of fullness i hadn’t ever felt before. i moan loudly, latching onto his back with my nails. he holds onto me by my upper back and hip, and starts moving me back and fourth onto his cock, almost like a toy. his head tilted back in bliss, his adam’s apple prominent as he lets out throaty groans.
“oh my god- josh.” i moan, my eyes filling with tears of pleasure, digging my nails into his back, slightly dragging them down as he thrusts quickly. he moans roughly at the sensation. “fuck i’m close.” i say, continuing to latch onto his back as his thrusts kept rocking my body up and down.
“me too.” he pants, peppering kisses across my neck. “let go, i’ve got you.” i squeeze my eyes tightly as i feel my high rapidly approaching.
“s-shit where should i cum?” he asks quickly.
“inside, i wanna feel you fill me up.” i whine and he groans loudly at my words, his fingers pressing tightly into my hip.
“fuck… (y/n).” he moans hotly in my ear as he releases inside me, his hips slightly slowing.
at the sound of him moaning my name and feeling the warmth of his cum inside me i finish too, moaning and tightly squeezing around him as he slowly thrusts through his release.
“yeah that’s it, such a good girl.” he whispers as he rubs my shoulder, my ears ringing from the intensity of it.
he stops his movements and pants heavily as he keeps himself hoisted above me, slowly pulling out. i feel some of his cum slowly starting to seep out. “fuck.” he whispers, biting his lip as he looks down at the sight.
he rolls over to lay beside me as i look up at the ceiling, trying to catch my breath in quick short gaps. he does the same, his body slick with sweat as he attempts to slow his breathing.
“wow that was… wow.” i muse, my hand resting on my forehead as i try to come back down to earth.
“yeah… i’ve never experienced anything like that holy shit.” he says, turning over to look at me with a smile. i smile back, mentally preparing myself for him asking me to leave as he slides his boxers back on. this was a really good experience, if it was just a hookup then so be it.
“do you wanna come here?” he asks, slightly shy as he extends his arms out across from me.
i nod, surprised but a smile widening on my face as i get closer to him and nuzzle my face into his warm chest. he wraps his strong arms around my lower back and looks down at me with a look of admiration.
“hey i know this is might be a weird time to ask but…. would you want to go on a proper first date with me tomorrow? you can stay tonight and we can eat in the morning and do something after? we have another day in LA…” he asks nervously.
i giggle softly, slightly thrown off. “yeah. i’d love that.” i say, leaning up to peck his lips softly. he smiles into the kiss, holding onto me as he kisses me back.

"Do the thing!"
It was a sudden squeal, almost as if you'd been holding it back for a while. Not to mention, the walk back to his place had been comfortably silent the whole time before, your hand in his with both stuffed off in his coat pocket in order to shield them from the cold, winter weather.
Although, the squeezes you would give occasionally should've been somewhat of a warning sign. Billy just figured it was a silent, "I love you" of some sort, returning the action every time with butterflies in his chest that kept him warm.
He never would've guessed them as a sign for an incoming fangirl moment. And so, to be sure...
"What thing?"
Not that he wasn't genuinely confused, of course.
"Ya'know... the thing that I like?"
He looked down at you, met with your beaming smile back up at him that brought on one of his own. Still unsure, though, merely repeating the words you had jingled to him all of the sudden back to you in a tone of skepticism.
"The thing you like?"
"Yeah!" You chriped, waiting for him to catch on excitedly, only to be mildly disappointed when that moment never came and he shook his head in dismiss.
"...I don't know, I'm still lost."
"Billy, noo..." You whined, nudging him a bit with your side as the walk continued. "Pleaseeee?"
"What thing?!"
And before you could fully explain yourself, you saw a look in the emerald of his eyes that told you he was faking, the boy having caught on by this point and leaving you to huff and turn away.
"...Stop, you know what I'm talking about, you're just being mean."
Deep chuckles came from his chest, Billy nodding to himself in amusement after you had realized he was teasing you. And, because it was in his nature, he continued to do so until you would ask properly.
"You're right, I do know. I just wanna hear you say it."
"Mncht." You clicked your tongue but didn't give in to the vexing feeling of your boyfriend complicating the process, keeping strong at your pleads in hopes to simply just wear him down.
"Billyyy...please do the thing? Please?"
"C'monnnn..." He urged, nudging his shoulder with yours, and was satisfied with the roll of your eyes and his implied directions followed.
"Hmff... Can you pleaaase say the word? Please?"
"You want me to say the word~?" He repeated, this time with a tone of flirtatiousness that you willingly succumbed to, snuggling up to his arm almost too cheesy for your own liking as you gave an eager, "Yes!"
"Mmm, I dunnooo'..."
This boy and his need to taunt, you swore, would be the death of you...! And yet, it was charming enough for you to let it slide.
No, he was charming enough for you to let it slide. Shaggy brown hair and gorgeous green eyes and those cute dimples whenever he flashed you that winning smile...
Plus, you had been on the verge of geeking out the whole day out with him. Your boyfriend is a superhero for Christ's sake! Of course you'd want to randomly see the magic of it all from time to time! And it's not like you ever knew him to shy away from amazing you whenever he could. So...
"Please-please-please with a lot of maraschino cherries on top?"
Billy laughed at your specifics, already in the midst of guiding you towards a secluded area away from crowds and bystanders.
"Okay, okay, but only because you asked so nicely."
"Yes, yay-yay-yay...!!"
Your cheers and giggles of excitement went hushed by your own hands, waiting in anticipation as Billy took some safety steps back away from you and gave one last look around the area. When he was sure he was in the clear, he granted you your wish. Did just as you asked...
He said the word...
"SHAZAM!!"
...and with a thunderous crash of lightning and a blinding light for only a moment, he was transformed into his older, super-self, and you were laughing wildly through jagged gasps of amazement.
"AHAHAHAHA!!!"
A little bit of a crazy laugh, you'd admit later, but not the point-
"Yeah? How was that?!" Billy-... Shazam asked, his arms spread wide open as he walked closer to you.
"Super loud and scary!" You squealed, hopping around like a little girl who was seeing a fireworks show for the first time, the glowing emblem on his chest casting you and the entire alleyway in gold.
"Yeah?!" Shazam nodded in confirmation with a grin just as wide as your own.
"But it's so hot!!"
"Yeah, it is...!"
Billy's ego? Boosted.
Your fangirl levels? Off the charts.
Hotel? Trivago.
"Okay, now do it again, but back to you-you." You demanded requested, doing a small spin move with your index finger while Shazam dropped his arms to his side.
"Dude-"
"-Please?" You cut before he could provide any light scolds or reasons as to why he shouldn't. You were his girlfriend, and you were so cute looking up at him, expecting to see her boyfriend, now, and not some grown man version of him she... liked... but didn't truly care for.
"...Okay."
"Yay!" You clapped, moving yourself back this time to avoid a second lighting strike.
"SHAZAM!!"
And with that, he was back to himself, your Billy Batson, standing with his arms still open in hopes he'd impressed you the way you had assumed he would.
And god, did he go above and beyond.
"AHAHAHA, YOU'RE SO COOL, I LOVE YOU!!!" You nearly screamed, voice rasping over from the sheer amount of pressure you were putting on your throat.
"I love you, too! C'mere...!" He laughed, admiring your excited figure and the way you were already running towards for him to catch you in his arms in a warm hug.
It lasted for longer than you both expected, but was clearly needed as you enjoyed each other's presence and touch.
"You know what you reminded me of, lowkey?" Billy murmured, no need to be any louder when he was right by your ear.
"Hmm?" You hummed, face pressed into the crook of his neck, cold nose tickling his skin.
"...Do the roar."
You pulled away very slowly. Your face went about as cold as your feet were right now, staring deep into Billy's eyes with a look of pure disbelief.
He stared back. Grinning, head nodding as if to say, "Yeah? Right?" like a puppy.
"You know what?" You hummed gently, returning the smile softly while your vision trailed his features and then down to his chest.
"Yeah?"
You pointed directly to his heart.
"You...are amazingly talented..."
":D!?"
"...at ruining nice moments between us."
":0..."
You nodded, satisfied with yourself at the light tease.
"Mhm, yeah :)."

Mending a Family 54/54
Prev | Mending a Family Master Post
A family is forgiven, goodbyes are given, and promises are made
Well, here it is, the final chapter
Dick was not jealous. He wasn’t! Just because Danny greeted Lian as his cousin, Roy as Uncle Roy, and Raven as Auntie Raven doesn’t mean Dick was jealous.
Is that the truth? Are those your genuine emotions? Dinah’s voice echoed in Dick’s head.
Okay, maybe he was jealous. But it wasn’t fair! He had his first nephew, and Danny was avoiding him, and when he wasn’t avoiding him, he was glaring at him with glowing green eyes.
Why isn’t it fair? Didn’t you do the same with Mar’i?
Ugh, being self-aware was annoying.
Jason laughed loudly with his whole body at something Roy had said. Even Danny smiled at whatever Roy had said. Dick gritted his teeth. Jason had never laughed with him like that. Well, it’s not as if Dick had given him many opportunities to laugh with Dick when he was younger. Dick regrets not getting closer to Jason when he was younger. Things might have been different if he hadn’t been so angry and jealous. By the time their relationship had started to get better, Jason had died. When he returned, well, there was no relationship to be had.
Dick’s phone beeped again with a notification. He had been receiving messages from his siblings who wanted to know how Jason and their newfound niblings were or from Mar’i wanting to know when she would see her new cousins and uncle.
Dick ignored them. He didn’t know what else to tell them. He had already updated them that Danny and Jason were fine.
Bruce walked up to Dick.
“He seems happy,” Bruce said in a neutral tone. Dick had been around the man long enough to know it was probably eating him inside. Like a typical rich kid, Bruce wasn’t used to sharing.
“Yeah, he does. I’m…happy for him.”
Even to Dick, his tone sounded insincere.
“Do you think he would want us in his life again? I’m glad to see him alive and well, but I want my son to at least speak to me. To us.”
“I don’t know, Bruce, I don’t know.”
“I will grant his wish if he doesn’t want to talk to us again, but it’ll hurt,” Bruce said. Dick stayed silent. He honestly didn’t know what to do. On the one hand, Jason was entitled to his boundaries. On the other, Dick wanted to beg his younger brother to let them back in.
Let him come to you first, Dinah’s voice sounded in his head.
“Did Talia leave already?”
“Yeah, she gave her final goodbyes to Danny, Jazz, and Jason and left.”
“Huh,” Dick was glad. He understood he was both Damian’s and, ugh, Jason’s mother, but he couldn’t stand the woman.
Danny suddenly turned to them and glared with his eerie green eyes. Every time he saw those Lazarus green eyes, Dick felt uneasy. Dick felt the sudden paranoia that Danny could read his thoughts. After all, he didn’t know what powers Danny had.
Danny snarled silently, showing tiny fangs.
“Children hold a lot of sway with their parents,” Dick said, “If Danny wants nothing to do with us, Jason is most likely to follow his son’s wishes.”
Bruce said nothing. Eventually, he left Dick and walked up to Roy and Jason.
Dick watched as Danny’s scowl deepened. The little boy left the group when Bruce started talking with Jason. Roy crossed his arms and glared at Bruce, not hiding it from Bruce.
Danny walked toward Lian and started talking to her. The little girl laughed at whatever Danny said. Dick smiled weakly. It was their fault that Jason had left. After all, they abandoned him first. They had no right to feel saddened.
It didn’t mean he didn’t feel it.
____
Danny didn’t like Bruce or Dick. They had been the cause of his dad’s suffering, Them and the whole so-called Batfamily.
Yes, even Alfred and Barbara, though dad always talked about them fondly.
After all, Alfred could have easily visited dad when he was feeling down, Bruce’s rules be damned. And Barbara’s crumbs of talking to dad occasionally probably caused him to feel more acutely alone. Barbara could’ve easily fought harder for his dad instead of just talking to him occasionally.
Danny sighed. He stared at his daddy, talking to both Dick and Bruce.
His dad always had an air of melancholy surrounding him, no matter how much Danny and Jazz tried to help. There were times when he would be happy, and then out of nowhere, bam, depression would hit.
Danny didn’t feel even a hint of it now. His dad still missed his old family, even though they had hurt him.
Danny wished he could say he didn’t understand, but he did. Because even though his parents had hurt him, a part of him still wanted their love and acceptance, even though it was too late now.
So, why not allow his dad to reconnect with his old family? They seemed to be trying, and dad looked more at peace. Even though Danny hated it, he would give that stupid family a chance.
He glared at Bruce and Dick, but if they hurt his dad in any way, well, he was half-ghost. He smiled chillingly. His smile widened when he saw Bruce tense, and Dick rub the back of his neck uneasily.
They would get their chance, but it would only be one.
____
Jason gave Bruce his phone number. Logically, he knew Bruce had it from his call for help, but this made it more official.
“Call or text me, but for the love of God, don’t be like Tim texting me at two in the morning telling me he figured out who stole the left socks. As interesting as the dog/human hybrid was, I just wanted to sleep.”
Dick flinched.
“Yeah, sorry about that. He was obsessed. He didn’t sleep for a week straight until he caught him. And that’s why you don’t play with genetics, boys and girls.”
“Alfred and I tried,” Bruce tried to defend himself, “God, did we try.”
Jason snorted, “Timmy needs to learn to let it go and sleep, and you need to learn to put your foot down. Besides, it’s Gotham. It’s not the strangest thing I’ve seen.”
After all, they had a bat-themed villain and a bat-themed hero.
Dick looked as if he was about to say something. He looked uncomfortable.
“I know about Mar’i. Roy told me.”
“I’m sorry, Little Wing.”
Jason shrugged, trying not to show his hurt, “I understand. I wasn’t exactly in the best state of mind when I returned.”
“Still,” Dick said and left it at that.
“I missed you, Jason.”
“We all have,” Bruce added, “Do you think you’ll ever find it in you to forgive us? Maybe to visit?”
Jason tackled Bruce in a hug. Both Bruce and Dick were surprised when they heard a chirp leave Jason’s lips.
“Little wing, did you just chirp like a bird,” Dick asked. His grin said everything: he had found blackmail material. He was still an older brother, after all.
“Ghost children chirp at their parents and family,” Danny came up to them, “it’s a privilege to have a ghost chirping at family.”
Danny glared at Dick, daring him to make fun of his father. Jason felt grateful to Danny. He didn’t think he’d be able to take any of Dick’s ribbing at the moment. He still felt too raw.
“Sorry, guys, it won’t happen again.”
“No, Jason, it’s cute! I promise I won’t say anything, but don’t deny something that’s a part of you,” Dick said.
Bruce was silent, but his eyes were loud with questions. Jason appreciated that Bruce had kept all the questions to himself so far. He didn’t know where he would even begin to explain his powers and half-life.
“Thanks for helping me and Danny. I can’t tell you how grateful I am.”
Bruce put his hand on Jason’s shoulder.
“Always, Jay lad, always.”
Jason hugged his dad again.
Things weren’t perfect, but they were better.
____
Bruce didn’t want to leave. Neither did Dick, but they had responsibilities. Gotham had been without Batman for three days, and Blüdhaven without Nightwing. Besides, they both had children they also had to care for.
As much as Bruce wanted to be with Jason and his family for a while longer, it wasn’t in the cards.
Raven was waiting to the side, giving the family a bit of privacy before she teleported them back.
“You’ll come and visit? Alfred really misses you, and everyone else wants to get to know you and your little family.”
“Yeah, Bruce, we’ll visit. I don’t know when, but we will.”
Bruce rubbed Jason’s hair, “Are you going to let it grow back to your regular hair color? You’re not hiding from us anymore.”
“I don’t know. I’ve kind of grown fond of it. Besides, it matches Jazz’s hair color.”
Bruce nodded. He gave Jason one last hug.
“I miss you, son. I’m sorry for everything.”
“Me too,” Jason said, “me too.”
With a heavy heart, Bruce smiled at Jason and turned toward Raven. It was time to go home, but he would do better for his son and all his children this time.
Jason watched as a white light overtook Dick, Bruce, and Raven.
They were gone.
“Good riddance,” Danny said.
“Danny lad,” Jason said in a warning voice.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. You forgave them, and we all are going to play happy family now. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t getting too crowded. I want to spend time with my family after…after what happened.”
Jason hugged his son.
“Don’t worry, son, we’re here now, and nothing will happen to us anymore.”
Jazz walked up with Ellie and stood by Danny and Jason. They smiled at each other, comfortable in the knowledge that, no matter what, they would always have each other.
I want to thank everyone who has been with me until the end. Thank you to those who have been here from the beginning to those who came halfway through or toward the end. I couldn't have done it without your support and encouragement.
Endings are hard, but hopefully, this one leaves you satisfied. I do plan to write one last one-shot of the family visiting Gotham and Wayne Manor, but that's a future project, and then I'll be done with this series.
Once again, thank you!
For those of you who have a Tumblr, can you vote here .

Okay, let's talk about something random
Omg, it's so embarrassing >.<
Tumblr media
So, it's been a while since I created this account and I've already gained some followers, thank you all for that :3 (it means you like the crazy things I post)
So I wanted to talk a little about myself (even though I think no one cares XD)
Tumblr media
Ok, I'm going to be serious now XDDD
I created this account because I really like JSHK and I wanted to talk about some crazy ideas or theories about the series and I felt welcomed here ^u^
I want you to know that a lot of things I post are just some crazy ideas that I occasionally have and that it's okay if you disagree, be kind S2 or if you agree I'll be happy if you want to talk to me about it :3
In fact, I hope you feel free to talk to me if you want, whether with an Ask or a message, I love talking about JSHK, if you also love and like crazy theories you can come talk to me if you want.
Don't take the things I say here too seriously, about the theories specifically, I may change my mind in the future or it's just crazy in my head, the most important thing for me is not to be right, but to have fun!
I'm trying to unravel the story in the most entertaining way I can, so it's okay with me if I'm wrong about the things I post (because no one other than Aidairo knows what's actually going to happen) XDD
Anyway, that's it.
Some other information that I don't know if you're interested in but I'll leave it here.
I am a girl
I'm Brazilian, I'd like to make that clear because if there are any Brazilians who also want to talk to me, feel free! (Sou brasileira, gostaria de deixar isso claro porque se tiver algum brasileiro que também queira falar comigo sinta-se a vontade!)
I speak English and Portuguese
I post randomly, but I usually post a lot because I tend to create theories and crazy ideas out of completely nothing.
Anyway, that's all, if you've read this far, thank you very much for giving me your attention :3
Bye bye~

A/N I Still don’t have an AO3 account. I guess I’ll get one next week? Again, I don’t know how it works. I grew up with FanFiction.Net and haven’t made another account on another site since I was in…middle school. So it’s been a while. But I want to write again and this has seemed to scratch that itch for now while I still attempt to write original fiction. (I have other ideas with these characters too that are rattling around in my head. I dunno. *Marge Simpson with potato meme* I just think they’re neat) Whenever I DO get an AO3 account I'll post everything there, too. I dunno how many chapters I'll write in the meantime but *shrugs*
Also, for the record, I love Elain. I relate to her a lot and I promise I have ideas for what I want to do with her here. Trust me.
Anyway, no beta, we die like everyone’s mom
The Golden Fawn (working title)
Tumblr media
When people think of Private Investigators, often the picture in their heads tends to line up with some old film noir with those long cigarette holders and dames asking the ravishing hero for help escaping some nefarious plot that the police just won’t help with. Azriel found that when he told women he was a PI, they would bat their eyelashes and become suddenly very interested in him for at least one night (which was all he ever really wanted, anyway). But the reality of the job was a lot duller. About 90% of the time, he ended up following someone’s spouse who was definitely cheating and gathering information that would eventually make its way into some divorce proceeding that he occasionally got to witness as the couple battled it out if they were particularly vicious towards each other, but normally his job was done as soon as evidence gathered. In really interesting cases, he would be hired by both spouses independently to find out if the other was cheating (so far the answer was always ‘yes’ to both).
It wasn’t particularly exciting work, but it paid fairly well. It wasn’t where he thought he would end up in life, but it certainly could have been worse.
So when his brother, Rhys, begged him to take on a new client on a case that definitely wasn’t about infidelity, Azriel was, at the very least, intrigued.
“It’s about her sister,” Rhys said. “I guess she hasn’t heard from her in a while.”
”Maybe she just doesn’t want to talk to her family?”
“It’s more than that.”
”In my experience it usually isn’t.”
Rhys, sitting across from Azriel’s desk, looked at his brother with a pleading look in his eyes. “Please just help her.”
Azriel wasn’t used to the air of desperation he heard in his brothers voice. He normally liked to come off as cool, calm, and collected. Unflappable. Something was different. “You said this girl was just a friend, huh?”
The “yes” that Rhys quickly answered was not at all convincing but he let it go for now. “Look, Feyre, that’s my friend, she said her sister hasn’t talked to any of them since graduation. There’s been a couple photos on social media but she won’t answer any phone calls or reply to any texts. They’re worried about her and just want to know she hasn’t gotten into anything…dangerous.”
“Like what?”
Rhys hesitated, raking his hand through his hair and looking up, trying to find the right words. “Feyre thinks Elain got tangled up in some kind of cult.”
”You can’t be serious.”
”Look, will you just check up on her?”
Azriel sighed. “Fine. I’ll meet with Feyre and I’ll check to make sure her sister is okay. But she can’t be upset with me if it turns out she just doesn’t want to talk to her family right now-“
”It’s not that.”
”-and I better not be walking into some kind of Jonestown 2.0.”
”Jesus Christ Azriel can you not say things like that when Feyre gets here?”
Azriel rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair. “Alright, when is she getting here?”
”I texted her and she said she was on her way. She should be here in about five minutes.”
”Is there anything else I should know before I talk to her? Anything you want to tell me?” He stared pointedly at his brother, knowing full well without having met her yet that whatever Rhys felt towards this woman would not be considered wholly “friend-like”, but, for whatever reason, it wasn’t a subject he was willing to open up about yet.
”She’ll tell you everything when she gets here but I promise you, something isn’t right. And you’re the only person I trust to get an actual answer.”
”And she trusts me?”
”She trusts me. But I know you won’t let her down.”
Azriel grunted while setting up his desk, grabbing a notebook and his favorite pen (despite the amount of firewalls and the VPN he had installed on his computer, writing everything down with pen and paper still felt like the most secure way to store most client information) and prepared himself for whatever it was he had agreed to.
At least it wasn’t another infidelity case.
Feyre walked into his office five minutes later. She was clearly distraught, but standing tall with her head held high. When she spotted Rhys there was a subtle ease in her eyes, but she hardened her face quickly as she turned to look right at Azriel. “So, you’re the PI brother?”
”Azriel, yes. And you must be Feyre?”
She didn’t answer, just sat in the chair opposite his desk and stared him down. “Did Rhys tell you what’s going on?”
Azriel waved his hand. “He gave me the basics but I want to hear from you. I know you’re worried about your sister and you want me to check up on her, but I need you to tell me what has you worried and what exactly you might think Elain has gotten herself tangled into.”
Feyre sighed. “I know how it must look.”
”And how’s that?”
”That my sister is a grown adult who just decided to cut off her family. That adults do that all the time and it has nothing to do with nefarious plots and families are often unwilling to admit to themselves that they possibly did something wrong to drive them away.”
Azriel raised his eyebrow. “And that’s not what happened here? You have a loving family who support each other and have never gotten into any big fights and you can’t think of a single reason your sister would want to escape them?”
”Oh god no, our family is awful.”
Well, that was a surprise.
”My father sits around doing absolutely nothing forcing my sisters and I to support ourselves, my grandparents cut all of us off completely because they were embarrassed by my father ruining his division of the family business, and my mother died when I was 8 from a car accident that may or may not have involved alcohol. Growing up in that environment is terrible and the three of us could probably keep the therapy industry afloat for decades if we had the money to actually pay for some therapists.”
”And…you don’t think your sister ran away of her own free will?”
Feyre shook her head. ”Despite everything that’s happened, my sisters and I have always had each other. I admit that the last few years I haven’t really been there for them. I’m the youngest, trying to finish my undergrad and working two jobs. But Nesta, my older sister, her and Elain have always been close. While Elain was in undergrad, they lived together to save money. They talk every day. Or…they used to.” Feyre sighed. “She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology six months ago, and cut off contact with all of us five months ago. None of us have been able to talk to her, either in person, on the phone, or via text message. I would file a missing persons report but she’s been on social media posting photos of these…people. People none of us know or have ever heard Elain talk about. We looked into it a little bit and it turns out its some kind of church, but none of us have ever been religious.”
Azriel wrote everything down, still not completely convinced that maybe Elain left on her own, but maybe there was something here. If nothing else, he could at least assure her sisters that everything would be alright, and that he would be paid well for it (Rhys insisted). Plus it was better than tracking down some asshole CEO who was banging his 20 year old secretary, promising to help her with her career (they never helped, they just liked to dangle it out of reach to keep the power imbalance).
“So what is it you want me to do?” Azriel asked. “Do you just want me to try and contact her? Make sure she’s okay? Investigate the group itself?”
Feyre hesitated, looking over at Rhys for some kind of comfort, before looking back at Azriel. “Actually,” she started, “I was hoping you could…join them.”
”You…want me to join a group that you think is a cult?”
“I just think that would be the best way for you to find out if this group is really dangerous or not.”
”That’s a bit out of my wheelhouse…”
”Rhys said you were top of your class at the Academy!” Feyre blurted and Rhys winced.
Azriel turned sharply towards his brother, “Did he now?”
Being a Private Investigator wasn’t exactly his first career choice. At one point he thought, maybe, he should join the police force. He thought it might help him recover from his childhood if he felt like he was helping people. But the truth was…the other people at the Academy? His classmates? All of them reminded him of his family. They didn’t want to be cops to help people, they wanted to be cops to feel superior to them, control them. He lasted a week after training before he couldn’t stand it any more and left. Occasionally, he would tell his clients that he was a “former cop” (technically true) but never the extent of it and he definitely had never told anyone but his brothers that he was “top of the class” (whatever the hell that had meant).
“Please,” Feyre put both her hands flat on his desk, a pleading look in her eyes. “I just want my sister back, The three of us…we really only have each other. I don’t want to lose her.”
Azriel rubbed his temple, “Alright, I’ll see what I can find out about this group. But first,” he turned the page on a clean sheet of notebook paper, “I need you to tell me everything you already know about this so-called cult your sister is in.”

Chapter 3 the princess and sheriff together?
(Pipp's pov)
I just awoke after a long deep sleep feeling one hundred percent better. I'd gotten sick after pushing myself too hard working and giving my fans the Pipsqueaks a look into a day in my life. Sitting up I stretched my hooves and looked around, I was in my bed in the Crystal Brighthouse. But I was missing something, her phone. Last time I saw it had been when... Hitch was here. He'd brought me soup and comforted me, telling me to take care of myself so I could help ponies out, my fans wouldn't want me to get sick just for the sake of pleasing them. Looking in front of me , I saw a few bouquets of flowers and cards. I smiled and smelled the flowers, finding my nostrils had cleared out. I breathed in relief then turned my attention to the cards. First was one from my friends, then my mother Queen Haven, and one from my favorite little trio of Pipqueaks, Seashell, Glory, and Peach Fizz. But there was something surprising in the last two cards.
The first one from my friends was relatively normal.
Get well soon Pipp,
Lots of Love from your friends, Sunny, Izzy, and Hitch
As well as your sister Zipp.
But in my mother's card.
I saw the video of you with Hitch and I must say he is such a sweet stallion. Why didn't you let me know you were seeing him? We must have dinner together with him sometime.
Pipp" huh seeing him?" I repeated to myself " Uh what video?
I looked into the next card and saw my main three little fans and occasional helpers in my shows.
Get well soon Princess Pipp! We love you each and every day and are proud to say you are the pony we idolize the most! Also we are so happy for you having your own knight in shining armor in Sir Hitch!
Seashell, Glory, and Peach Fizz.
Pipp "Knight in shining armor? Hitch?" I asked myself. "What is going on?"
Why were my mom and my main trio of fans here in Maretime Bay thinking that me and Hitch were dating? Looking back over my mom's card I saw the mention of a video and looked around for my phone. I found it in the drawer of my bedside table, how had it gotten there? Somepony must have picked it up and put it in there while I was sick. It would need charging soon as it was down to less then 20%. Opening it i looked at my recent videos and saw the one I had started to make while still sick. I felt revulsed seeing my snooty nose, then Hitch coming in and comforting me , nuzzling my head.
Pipp "Aww!" I said as I watched him caring for me . So romantic. But-
"Ah!" I exclaimed. "Now everypony thinks we're a couple and-
I looked at my number of followers and my eyes went wide as i gasped. "I've reached ONE HUNDRED... MILLION... FOLLOWERS!"
Tumblr media
She let out a whoop of victory. But there was still the problem that everyone thought she and Hitch were dating. She had to get out there and set things right. Looking at the comments of the video that showed Hitch caring for her she saw things like Aww what a good coltfriend. She'd make a good mother to his dragon, and the Princess and Her Sheriff.
Maybe she could just post that she and Hitch weren't a couple, as well as let them know that . But what if she disappointed her fans that liked the idea of her being with him? She should probably talk to her friends first. They would want to know she was better.
She plugged her phone in to charge it. For now she'd talk to her friends, and Hitch. Pipp blushed as she thought of what she would say to him. Everypony thought he was her Coltfriend now!
She went down to the lower floor of the Brighthouse. Sunny was in the kitchen making breakfast.
"Oh morning Pipp!" Sunny said with a bright smile. "Uh I have some news-
"Everyone thinks me and Hitch are a couple!" Pipp said.
"Uh... yeah, most ponies anyway. Me, Izzy, and Zipp watched you two though we didn't know Sparky had posted a video till a few hours later," Sunny said.
"Where's Hitch?" Pipp asked. "And Zipp?"
"Oh they both went to Sheriff Station."
"Thanks Sunny I'll be back later."
Pipp flew out the door and went straight to the Sheriff Station. But to her surprise she saw a large crowd of ponies in front of the station.
"Hitch and Pipp! Hitch and Pipp!" the crowd chanted.
"What is going on?" Pipp asked as she flew over the ponies and saw some of them holding signs drawings over and Hitch's heads with a red heart between them and their names at the bottom along with an equal sign leading to-
"Hipp Hipp Horray!" Seashell cried out from where she stood with her two other filly friends.
"Hipp?" Pipp asked aloud. "They've combined my name with Hitch's?"
"Hey look there's Princess Pipp up there!" Glory said pointing her hoof.
That caused everyone to notice Pipp and they began shouting different greetings at her.
"We're glad you're better Pipp!"
"Love you!"
"Congrats on the new Coltfriend!"
"I hope you two live happily ever after!"
Pipp grit her teeth and blushed. Her fans wanted her and Hitch to be together? What was she gonna do?
She entered the station and found Hitch and Zipp inside.
"Oh hey Pipp!" Zipp greeted her sister.
"Uh, Pipp, we kind of got a problem," Hitch said.
"I know!" Pipp screamed. "Everyone thinks we're dating!"
"Yeah," Hitch said with a nervous nod and a blush.
"What are we gonna do?" Pipp asked. "Look at all those... Hipp fans out there!"
"Wow, you guys have a couple name already," Zipp said with a smirk. "You know, you guys might make a good couple."
"WHAT?" Both Hitch and Pipp said.
"Just kidding!" Zipp said, though she wasn't entirely. "But seriously how are we gonna take care of this?"
Hitch took a deep breath. "Well honesty is probably the best thing to do. Come on Pipp lets just tell everypony we're not a couple. They'll understand."
He took her by the hoof for a moment, but as they took a couple steps forward they realized that would give the wrong impression so they let go with a blush. Opening the doors to the Sheriff Station they faced their many fans. This was something Pipp was used to after all those years of being a Princess Popstar, but now Hitch was with in the center of attention. He grit his teeth and his ears drooped, he was also used to having Pony's Attention as the Sheriff but this was a little different.
"Hey Pipsqueaks!" Pipp said waving with a nervous smile.
"Congratulations on getting a boyfriend Pipp!" Seashell said.
"Uh thanks but Hitch and I aren't a couple!" Pipp said.
This caused everypony to release a sad, "Aww!"
"I hate to let you guys down," Pipp said. "But Hitch and I are just friends!"
"But that video we saw of you," Posey Bloom came forward now. "It was so sweet! Even I was moved!"
That was saying a lot, since Posey had been quite an opponent of the Mane 5 since magic had come back to Equestria.
Hitch managed to speak up now. "Sorry to disappoint every pony but yeah me and Pipp are just friends."
"But you are perfect for each other!" Glory said.
Pipp and Hitch looked at each and blushed.
"Uh, thanks for loving the idea of us together but its not gonna happen," Pipp said.
"Yeah. I mean Pipp is beautiful, kind, fun, and generous, but I don't think it would work between us," Hitch said.
"Aww Hitch!" Pipp said with stars in her eyes. "Uh you really feel that way about me?"

"Yeah but not in a romantic sort of way," Hitch said rubbing his forehoof.
"Oh, okay," Pipp said looking down as she turned away with a pout that Hitch didn't see. "Well again I'm sorry to disappoint you guys but Hitch and I are just friends."
The Hipp fans looked down in disappointment. But then Peach Fizz spoke up, "Well we're glad you're better Princess Pipp!"
Pipp smiled at them. "Me too! Now I'm gonna get back to putting on shows and other stuff!"
"If you're single would you care to go out with me Princess?" A stallion said.
Pipp looked at him. "Uh... thanks but not right now. I just don't feel up to dating."
There was a small pain in her chest but she couldn't place it. Hitch had said all those wonderful things about her and she felt he was a handsome strong and amazing stallion, maybe an occasional dork but he was also loving toward both ponies and critters, as well as Sparky. She began to walk back to the Crystal Brighthouse, the idea of Hitch and her together as a couple in her mind.
"Maybe," she said. "Maybe I do like him."
...
At the Station, Hitch went back to work.
"Well glad that's cleared up," Zipp said.
"Yeah, I just hope this doesn't affect our friendship," Hitch said.
"You sure you just think of Pipp as a friend?" Zipp asked.
"Yeah," Hitch said with a little blush.
But as he thought back to when he first saw Pipp, seen her fake flying in Zephyr Heights and how her music had just captivated him, as well as the image on the video of them nuzzling, he wasn't entirely sure.
"Maybe," he said.

i mean, in s2 when fraser is "undercover" as a woman (and i put air-quotes because this is heavily suggested to be an enjoyable experience for a character who otherwise struggles to lie/hasn't been good at undercover work in the past because of that and ms fraser is very convincing, so... gender smthsmth goin on there) she's hit on by a guy who doesn't recognise her discomfort and dances with her despite said discomfort (no touching) and ray arrives and essentially tells him to beat it
which is followed by the two of them dancing and having a conversation that starts along the lines of "i just saved you from dancing with a guy" "it would appear i am still dancing with a guy" (and they keep on dancing to "keep up appearances")
my point being that ray vecchio's number one concern in this world is benton fraser's wellbeing. in fact, off the back of the s1 finale in which aforementioned woman (victoria) emotionally abuses him in the lead up to sex (and then shoots diefenbaker and tries to get ray arrested + frame fraser for crimes so he's forced to come with her/live a life on the run/be dependent on her... overall not a great experience although there's a lot to unpack in terms of his emotional wellbeing because despite all of that... he does at the last minute make an instinctive decision to go with her and we never do find out what his rationale was, probably because he also didn't know, because he doesn't know his own emotions very well BUT! ANOTHER POST!), we get a whole bunch of narratives in which ray specifically tries to coax and/or bully (affectionately) fraser into setting more boundaries for himself + asserting how he feels
(some examples below the cut)
this is especially prominent in s2 episode 2 called vault in which fraser impulsively puts his and ray's lives on the line in order stop some bank robbers. he does this by locking them into the titular vault and setting off the sprinklers so that by the time the robbers have made their way through the door the water pressure will knock them out... if ray and fraser don't drown first. in the meantime fraser has a new boss (meg's first episode) who really really doesn't like him and punishes him by replacing his uniform, which he takes without complaint, even though it clearly upsets him
RAY: The point is, Fraser, you almost get yourself killed for some stupid cause every other day, and you never stop to ask yourself what are you getting out of this. Is someone paying you to do this? Or am I just some crazed do-gooder? Or, is God telling you to do this? [...] But what about you? Do you know what you're getting out of this? No, you don't, do you? FRASER: No, Ray, it is simply a responsibility I assumed when I put on the uniform. RAY: The "uniform." You don't even like that uniform! They took away the uniform that you liked! And did you say anything? No! Not a word!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
--- (later when they're floating in the rising water...)
Tumblr media
RAY: Admit it, Fraser. You feel unappreciated. Can you do this for me? Can you do this one small thing for me? Can you admit that at least once in your perfect existence you've felt the need to put yourself before your duty? Because if you do that, I can float peacefully to my death. FRASER: Why, Ray? RAY: I just will, now humor me. FRASER: All right. Uh... occasionally — it's only very occasionally — I do feel some- is this really necessary? RAY: Fraser, I am drowning on dry land. FRASER: All right, Ray, all right. Occasionally, I do feel... what was it? RAY: Unappreciated. FRASER: Unappreciated. Occasionally, I do feel unappreciated. RAY: You do? FRASER: Occasionally. RAY: Well, thank you! Good! Well, from now on- well, for the next minute or two — FRASER: Uh-huh. RAY: — can you try to stick up for yourself a bit more? FRASER: Yes. I will try, Ray.
in the penultimate s2 episode the two of them have an argument that's about a fair few things, but at its core ties back to the beginning of the season, in that it's about ray's various feelings about fraser distancing himself from humanity in order to be (in his words) a saint (although i might say martyr, which is vaguely alluded as well at one point), and a big part of that is fraser's inability to feel his feelings:
RAY: We are talking about anger here, Fraser, a human emotion. Are you human? Because if you are, human beings feel things, okay? They feel anger. They feel love. They feel lust and fear, and sometimes, and I know you don't want to hear this, sometimes: they even cry.
it's not a perfect turn of phrase (in fact this whole argument is deliciously messy af and in many ways there's a lot that is left somewhat unspoken which is wonderful for analysis), especially his use of the words "lust" and "love" are interesting, because he's equating something that fraser genuinely does have a hard time with (throughout the show there are a scant few times where he's holding back tears, but only once does he ever allow himself to cry and he's on his own, barring the ghost-and-or-hallucination of his dead father, and guess what it's prompted by the emotional abuse of victoria at the end of s1 (i need everyone to understand that she's a near-perfect villain to me, i adore her) which really does give some clues as to why he almost runs away with her despite it all), with certain normative ideas about "what being human is" -- this especially considering, as ive mentioned, fraser's experiences with sex have been almost uniformly Bad autonomy-wise
but what he is essentially asking fraser to do is to feel his feelings, not to put himself last, not to (as it were) martyr himself for the whole world
important thing to note also: the entire argument kinda isn't even happening, they're not even in the same location, and are simply imagining (perfectly) what the other side of the argument sounds like
Tumblr media Tumblr media
they are, alas, unable to finish it, as they're then both kidnapped
later in that same episode they're strapped to a bomb that'll go off if their combined heart-rate goes above a certain amount, and it's during this time that they "finish" the argument/do some bomb-supported therapy. ray is frustrated that fraser is simply able to "remain calm" while he's freaking out, wanting him again to admit that he's feeling something about the whole situation
Tumblr media Tumblr media
RAY: Can you honestly say that you are calm right now? FRASER: No! No, I'm, I'm, uh — RAY: What? FRASER: Well, I'm concerned. [He is looking at the heart rate monitors.] RAY: Concerned? That's it? You don't feel anger? You're not angry? FRASER: No. Not exactly, no. RAY: Will you just admit that you're a human being? Just once in your life, can you admit that you're a human being? [Ray's heart rate is escalating, approaching 120 bpm. The combined monitor is over 180.] FRASER: [attempting to interrupt Ray] Please- please- please- [He closes his eyes and drops his chin to his chest, humming.] Mmm-mmmmm. RAY: What are you doing? FRASER: [doesn't lift his head] Dropping my heart rate. Mmm. RAY: In the middle of an argument? [Fraser's heart rate drops below 60 bpm.] FRASER: Don't let me stop you. Mmm. RAY: I'm going to kill you. FRASER: That's very possible. Mmm. [The combined heart rate monitor is back down to 163. Fraser keeps his head down, as Ray also takes deliberate breaths to keep his heartrate down] There. I've never hated you, Ray. I've envied you, maybe. RAY: Envied me? FRASER: [nods] I'm not proud of it, but you have a kind of freedom I wish I had. A sort of existential honesty. RAY: Are you saying I'm honest? FRASER: In your heart, yes.
there's a lot to unpack in that last part. what does he mean by "existential honesty"? does he mean emotional honesty? does he mean that ray is allowed to access parts of himself that fraser cannot allow himself to? does he mean that ray gets to live a "simpler" life than benton "Fated To Try And Save Everyone In The World One At A Time" fraser? we never quite find out in a simple conclusion, but it does end up bringing them closer together
it's interesting because there does seem to be a real breakthrough for fraser around the end of s2 -- he's lowkey made a commitment to be more emotionally honest with ray, whilst knowing that ray is there to support him
of course, what happens next is that ray has to leave to go undercover in las vegas (and there's a lot to analyse in that decision as well, because it's never made entirely clear how it all came about, only that he had to leave very suddenly whilst fraser was away on holiday and that it clearly hurts him to not live up to an on-the-surface simple promise to pick fraser up when he arrives back in chicago -- another analysis in that) and fraser's mental health journey goes out the window!
it's in the following season we get the scenes in which fraser gets muddied during a fight and then almost shot without ray there to have his back, and the scene in which his ghost/hallucination father tells him not to sleep with a woman who's taking advantage of his vulnerable state, so... lots to unpack there about how much fraser relied on ray to be the person to tell him when he wasn't taking care of himself
all this to say that ray put a lot of effort into teaching fraser that he was allowed to have boundaries, in many ways at the cost of his own, and also that this theme, just off my first watch of the last third of the show, is never quite as explored again outside of a couple of episodes where things are pretty bleak (the aforementioned woman who tries to take advantage of him whilst he's incredibly lonely, again, this is s3/post-ray leaving but pre-him-becoming-friends-with-nu!ray, and then a s4 episode where another woman tries to "seduce" him in order to get him to do what she wants and he plays along in order to double-bluff her, but it's framed a. as something quite tragic that he's learned not to trust peoples intentions around him and to play his supposed naivety against them and b. it's suggested that he genuinely liked her on some level and was hoping that maybe she was what she seemed)
Tumblr media
(listen i was trying to take screenshots of benton fraser forcing himself not to cry about how canonically lonely he's feeling in s3, but it's so many micro-expressions i cannot gettem on here, just take my word for it, he's blinking and swallowing and biting his lip)
(both of these s3/s4 women aren't "bad guys" btw, they've just both got their own stuff going on, but they both attempt to use fraser for their own ends because he appears vulnerable and trusting and available)
that thread of fraser learning to set boundaries and what those boundaries might look like though... that's never (from this first watch memory) something that comes up again, and in fact s3/4 (26 episodes total, so roughly the final third of the show) seem to be mainly about him becoming increasingly weary and full of ennui, at first as a reaction to being on his own again and not knowing what the right path forwards is (ray gone, apartment burned down), then as a feeling that he never really fully overcame his feelings of grief at his father's death and never having really gotten to know him in the first place, which then begins to take the form of a wistful desire to return to canada, and then culminates in a series finale plot that reveals that his mother was murdered when he was nine
point being... there's a lot to unpack in terms of fraser and relationships (murdered mother, almost entirely absent father, emotionally distant but idealistic grandparents, never staying anywhere for very long as a child and so not forming traditionally "close" longterm friendships, although there are some important figures from his childhood that show up in the show) and i'd argue fraser never does face all of that by the end
it's like the thread was cut after ray vecchio left and he was never able to pick it up again, and eventually the only recourse was to... leave. the last interesting part of that is that the canon ending of the show has nu!ray going with him (they're both off on a journey of self-discovery, ray kowalski to "find out who he is" which is yet another analysis) and so there's a potential for figuring some things out post-canon
but yeah. it's interesting
i went a bit on a tangent at the end there, but as a final thought, i do think the only big misstep of the finale was that it never really wrapped up how ray vecchio feels about where fraser is at when he returns to the picture/explores how ray feels about having had to leave in the first place after having so much of himself essentially "saved" via fraser's inherent idealism (but where fraser is at is... mmmmdubiousmentalhealthwise)
(this is why there's at least some fic out there that explores a ray vecchio who's got PTSD after having been a year undercover in the mob and feeling some kinda way about fraser running away to canada without a proper goodbye. a few loose threads there)
also think it's interesting that in terms of sexual writing on the show, benton fraser has only had experiences ranging from harassment (being pursued/commented on without his consent) to lowkey sexual assault (being touched in a sexual way without his consent), and various iterations of similar, with the two most obvious being a situation in which he's emotionally blackmailed and manipulated in the lead up to having sex (victoria) and where it's canonically stated that he's being taken advantage of while in a vulnerable state and shouldn't have sex (janet) (EDIT: also ladyshoes, which is interesting in its own right, but i think needs a whole other post, because he's learned from being taken advantage of and plays her game and it kinda hurts to watch)
the only person where it's more complicated is meg, and the more i read into it, the more i think there's a lot to be said for her taking a big step back because she's his superior and has power over him (ofc, i also enjoy the read that she's aromantic, but that also carries a feeling to it that she has some complicated feelings for him that she doesn't necessarily want to ruin by entering into a sexual relationship with him, regardless of how attracted to him she is, and the fact that he would allow it... it probably would end up hurting him, if not gone about carefully)
point being, there's a whole depth of thought id like to explore on fraser and sex that relates to him not only not having language for what he maybe does want (whether or not that involves sex and/or kink) but he's also not been given the opportunity to learn/verbalise what he doesn't want
his whole relationship with sex and relationships, to me, is wrapped up in so many layers of messy experiences and lack of respect for his bodily autonomy that he'd have to unlearn all kinds of things before one could even know under what precepts he'd consent to something on, and potentially that might never even happen, because he doesn't exactly end the show having learned to enforce boundaries (or even, maybe, that he's allowed to have them)

does selkie!soap know that ghost is a changeling? if not can we have him figure it out?
Yes! I absolutely fucking can! Continuation from this post
1
Soap looked at his husband, watching him carefully. Ghost had eaten twelve pancakes. Not eggos. Eggos would be reasonable. Twelve, full sized pancakes. 
To be fair, Ghost had been the one cooking them, so it wasn’t that noticeable to anyone else. They all had large appetites. Big men, big muscles, bit metabolisms. 
But Soap was watching Ghost make more for himself and he was clearly trying to make it seem like he hadn’t eaten that much. It was odd. 
His husband. What a funny phrase to be able to use now. Anyway. His husband was odd. 
He poured more syrup on his pancakes, he made chocolate chip for Soap, blueberry for Gaz, strawberry for Price and from the looks of it, plain for himself. Ghost ate in the kitchen, probably to keep them from seeing his face. It wasn’t unusual, but Soap couldn’t help but wonder how often Ghost was using it to hide his odd eating habits. 
2
The next was simpler. Ghost’s gloves had torn. His hands looked normal but very pale. 
“Guess you don’t get out in the sunlight much, huh LT?”
“Not really.” Ghost rubbed his hands together gently. 
Soap tossed him again and turned away, only to hear it thunk against the floor. He looked backed to see Ghost just staring at it. 
“I’ll stick to knives.”
“There’s a lot of people. I’d feel better if you have a gun.”
“Do you have one with a grip?”
“What? No.” Soap stared at him for a minute and Ghost relented. He picked the gun up and followed him. 
It wasn’t until later that he finally got to put the gun down and Soap saw them. Everywhere the metal had touched his hands were burns. Severe ones. In parts, especially where he’d have it pressed hard to his palm, the skin had started to bubble and crack. 
Ghost noticed him staring and dropped the gun. “Ironic. A sniper who can’t actually touch it. S’why I wear the gloves...” 
“Ah...” Soap thought of the steel and therefore the iron in the gun. His whole not human theory was starting to make much more sense. 
3
It was such an odd topic to bring up, but they were on it and Soap was determined to use it. 
“Yeah, personally I grew up Roman Catholic. Got the baptism and everything.” According to his dad, who had laughed about it, his mom had begged him not to, worried it would kill Soap or make him human. According to his mom, his dad had jumped at the idea that baptism might make him human. It did neither of course. “What about you, LT?”
“My mom was Protestant, but I never was baptized. She stopped taking us before I was old enough to do it.”
“Why?”
Ghost paused, glancing around. No one was really focusing on them so he shrugged. Soap had noticed that although the bond effected him in the usual ways, the world revolving more around Ghost, him always being aware of Ghost, feeling Ghost’s presence around him at all times, yada, yada, it had also affected Ghost, which was interesting. It made him a little more open with Soap. Just Soap. If that sent a thrill through him, no one needed to know. 
“My mom took me and Tommy every Sunday. My dad occasionally tagged along. One day, one of the patrons caught me stealing an extra piece of the communion bread. This lady made it fresh and it was fucking great. They told my dad and he hit me with a bible so hard it knocked me to the ground. Right in front of everyone. My mom stopped taking us to church after that.” Ghost told it all to him quietly. “I had liked going, even though I didn’t believe in it. Always felt insincere, but it made my mom happy.” 
“Oh.” Soap stared. “How old were you?”
“I think I was seven.” Ghost hummed and looked away. “Never got baptized. Probably good thing. They always heated the holy water up.” 
Soap prepared himself for the joke of “boiling the hell out of it” but after a moment he realized Ghost was sincere. 
The holy water burned him. 
Soap suddenly had a vague idea of what he was. 
4
Soap had a heavy suspicion at this point. He had a feeling he knew exactly what Ghost was, so he decided to do a little experiment to see. 
Before he left that morning, he turned his shirt inside out and then slipped his hoodie over it. The only exception being creatures that had to notice. 
Ghost stared at him for a moment before he simply turned away and ignored him. Soap tried to get his attention and Ghost just wrinkled his nose and turned away from him. 
Gaz gave them an odd look and Soap just smiled awkwardly before stepping away. He fixed his clothing and tried once again to strike up a conversation. 
Immediately, Ghost actually talked to him. It was his usual rather quiet amount but it was definitely there.
“Why did you ignore me?”
“What are you talking about MacTavish?”
“Right now. You ignored me.”
“You weren’t talking to me a minute ago. You need to go to the medics?” Ghost seemed genuinely concerned. 
“Nah, probably just dehydrated. I’ll go grab a drink.” He smiled at him and stepped away. 
Gaz looked at him. “I think Ghost is going a tad crazy.”
“Nah, think he’s fucking with me.” Soap covered for him. 
Gaz didn’t look like he believed him but he dropped it. 
5
“Johnny, why are we on a secluded beach in the middle of the fucking night?” Ghost had followed him though. In his civvies, the soft hoodie and sweatpants clinging to all the right places. His mom didn’t warn him how bad marriage would feel at first. Or more, how bad one sided marriage would feel. He wanted to attack Ghost. Throw himself at him and claim his husband in every way he could. 
“Simon. I need to talk to you about something.” Ghost turned towards him. Soap vaguely put the face he remembered from Los Almas over the ski mask. He was glad Ghost went with this instead of the plastic mask and balaclava. That day, the kohl makeup had run all the way down Ghost’s face, covering his cheeks and his nose. His hair was shaggy and curled oddly, sticking up all over the place. It had been shoved down as if to cover his ears and it felt in his eyes. Despite clearly being cut into a buzzcut recently, it looked like it hadn’t worked too well. Soap had wondered at the time if it had been unfinished and he had to rush it. 
Now that he knew he was a changeling, it made more sense. Their hair tended to grow unnaturally fast and choppy. 
“What do need to talk about Johnny?” Ghost seemed worried. He glanced at the coat around Soap’s shoulders. 
“I... I know you’re not human.” Soap decided to start there. 
There was a beat of silence. 
Then Ghost laughed. There was a slightly bitter edge to it. “Oh, fuck off, Soap. You know, out of everyone, I never expected that shit from you.” He started to turn away from him.
“I’m not either.” Soap thought he was playing coy. It made sense, Soap would never admit it so easily and this Ghost. King of not saying shit about himself. 
“MacTavish,” Ghost looked at him, “you may be experiencing psychosis. Sometimes men on the battlefield...” Soap stared at him, hearing him like he was muffled through more than just his mask. 
Did Ghost... not know? 
There was no way Ghost didn’t. He hid away all his oddities. Been so careful. There was no way he didn’t at least expect it.
“Have you ever heard of a selkie?” Soap interrupted. 
“The seals that turn into humans. Yeah, I guess.”
“I need you to understand I’m not... I’m...” Soap sighed. “Just. I need you to trust me for a just a minute, okay?”
Ghost stared at him for a long while before nodding slightly. “Okay.” 
Soap slowly slipped his coat off and then started to undress. He kept his eyes downcast, but he could feel Ghost’s eyes on him. Scanning over him with growing alarm. 
Soap wrapped his coat around him before he shucked off his underwear. 
“Johnny.” Ghost said softly and there was something there that Soap needed a lot more time to unpack.
“Trust me.” Soap said softly. “Just... could you turn around for a minute?”
“You’re willing to undress in front of me but not do... whatever you’re about to do?” Ghost sounded... amused. It made butterflies in his stomach. 
“It’s unpleasant.” Soap said softly. Ghost finally turned around him. 
His coat fused with his skin and the transformation was... unpleasant to look at it. His fur laced with him and he sorta fell to the ground, luckily able to muffle himself so it didn’t startle Ghost. 
There he was. A harbor seal. He barked and Ghost turned around slowly, staring at him. 
Ghost continued to stare. And continued. And stared. 
Soap slowly rolled over to his expose his stomach. He couldn’t exactly talk, but his dogtags, which he had clearly been wearing, were around his neck now. 
Ghost slowly moved closer, touching the chain and reading the name. He didn’t move, staying crouched over him. 
Soap could see the ring of gold around his pupils again. 
“Oh.” Ghost said softly. 
The transformation back was much easier and faster. His snout seemed to wrinkle before splitting and he poked his head out, shaking his head. It looked like he had just had the coat over his face, but Ghost knew better. 
“Take your mask off.” Soap muttered against him, the coat splitting down his chest to go back to a more coat like shape. His bare chest was out but he was smart enough to cover his lower half. 
Ghost stared at him even longer and Soap knew for a fact he hadn’t blinked the entire time. He reached up and pulled Ghost’s mask off for him. 
There was Simon. 
Oh. 
Oh God he’s incredibly hot. 
Simon hadn’t put the make up on so Soap was treated to his freckles. They were... He sat up and grabbed Simon’s face who didn’t seem that surprised by it honestly. 
They sparkled. They weren’t like a human’s at all. One, they were mostly shaped like stars instead of just dots and fleck. Two, they were a stunning gold color that reflected the moonlight. 
Soap reached up and ran his hands through Ghost’s hair. It was just like before, spiky and uneven despite clearly being freshly trimmed. His ears were pointed like an elf, too severe to look normal.
“When the body modifications came out, I just blamed it on that...”
“Do you... know?” Soap spoke gently to him but he couldn’t keep his hands to himself. His husband was right here.
“No. I don’t... know. I didn’t even know there were other things like me. Thought I was just... wrong.”
“I think you may be a changeling.” Soap admitted. “I may have... tested it. A couple of times, trying to see if I could figure it out.”
Ghost glared at him and he went to take his mask back, but Soap stopped him. “Johnny... Please.”
“Simon.” Soap said softly, pulling him a little closer and Ghost finally slid to his knees instead of crouching. “I’m not going to hurt you.” 
Simon looked at him and suddenly stiffened. “When I took your coat.” 
“It’s okay. You didn’t... You didn’t purposely do anything.” Soap reassured.
“But I did do something.” 
Soap sighed. “This isn’t... the conversation I wanted to have tonight... What do you know about selkies?”
“Take their coat and you can control them. That’s it.”
“Pretty accurate. It’s a little more than just control though. When someone holds my coat, there’s an instinct under my skin. A desperation to please is the best way I can put it. It’s a survival tactic to keep from being punished according to my mom. You do what you can to keep your master happy so they don’t strike out at you.” 
“Have you...” Simon was touching him now. Holding his face and putting his arm around him. “Been...”
“Twice. Once when I was 12 for two months and once when I was 17 until I turned 19. The first one was by a kid my age and it wasn’t... nothing happened. People usually get concerned.” Johnny smiled at him. 
“And the other one?”
Johnny shook his head. “Another day. Please.”
“Another day.” Simon promised. “But what did I do?”
“You gave it back. The way you did it... You pick it back in my hands. You didn’t let me grab it.”
“Is that bad?” 
“We’re married. Kinda. It’s not legally binding, of course. It can be ignored. Even broken.” Soap mumbled the last parts. It hurt. He’d like to blame it on his coat. That it was making him a little crazy. But he knew it wasn’t just that. The idea of being rejected by Ghost was... He cared a lot for Ghost and it had nothing to do with being not quite human. 
Ghost was staring again. “Since the hospital. That was weeks ago.” 
“Yeah. I suppose it was. Look, I can tell you how to break it.” Soap felt Ghost’s mouth on his and the arm pulled him closer, right against his broad chest. 
“I haven’t been a very good husband to you.” Ghost joked, but there was a layer of stress underneath it. 
Soap shrugged. “I haven’t been a very good bride.” He leaned in closer. 
“Would you... like to be?”
“If you’d have me.”
Ghost huffed. “I’d be an idiot not to.” 
“Good. Although, you are going to have to court me. My mom is not very impressed with you right now.” Soap got up.
“You talked about me to your mom?” Ghost was scrambling to get up and follow him.
“Of course. Had to tell her some Brit married me. She was worried.” He flashed him a smile and tossed him his mask. 
“How the fuck do I court you?” Ghost tugged it on and followed him. He gathered up Soap’s clothes, watching him twirl around barefoot on the beach. 
“Figure it out.”
“Can I have your mom’s number?”
“Why the fuck do you need that??”
“To ask her how! Also I want your mom to like me.”

Hiya! If your still doing requests Could you do Murdoc x Fem girly reader headcannons
Reader is the complete opposite of Murdoc she is sweet to everyone, wears dresses likes pastel colours stuff like that. If that’s okay with you <3
Murdoc x Very fem pastel F! S/O
WRITERS NOTE: Hi! I honestly really like this request, I personally find any pastel style to be realy cool! But I do apologize I'm not good at gendered things- but I will try my very best! I hope you like the hc and that you have a wonderful day!
[ANOTHER NOTE: This is late again, life threw a wrench in my posting schedule again. Anyways have a lovely day, sorry for the delay!]
Edited: Nope
All art in this post is mine
TW: Curssing, Murdoc drinking, Murdocs childhood, Murdoc being a grouch, implied abuse?, spoilers for cracker Island, jealousy, insecurity, probably more but can't figure it right now- so just tell me any out standing ones I missed.
(Side thing: Murdocs shity behavior is not ok, it's toxic, I am not trying to indorse the shit he does!)
Characters:
/Gorillaz/
Murdoc(yay better murdoc drawing)
Tumblr media
How???
Sorry HuH???
Just how???
You are the embodiment of a kind person... and Murdocs..... a satanic piece of shit gremlin with anger issues
So to say everyone- including Murdoc himself was quite surprised
The band won't let him live down the fact you two are so different
They tease him a lot, but other then that that band absolutely adores S/O
2D has straight up asked you why would you 'date 'an asshole like Murdoc', it was very blut though there was no ill will behind it
Murdoc will Call you the normal nick names such a 'dove, babe, love, ect..' but he will most likly call you a bit more sweet things- in private obviously, but this often happens if he's ih a more sensitive state-
Whether that be when he's drunk, high, hung over, ect... he'll just tend to be a bit loving- his voice is almost tender
And he'll use pet names like 'babydoll, sugar, cutie, my star, sweetie, the occasional babycake's', but Murdoc could use those in a very teasing way too if S/O is the kind of person who tends to get flustered
"*hic* ya'know, I'ma start... *hic* call'en ya cavity..." Murdoc said sluring his words
"What, why?"
"*drunken giggle* Cuz' yer so cute *hic* dat'cha rot my teeth... heh.."
S/O looks so different when standing next to Murdoc that some people find it concerning
When out in public with each other at night(ie. Murdoc draged you to a bar with him), there has been at least one case of someone coming up to you in concern for S/O's wellbeing, thinking Murdoc was some creep following S/O, or the every so often waitress or waitor asking if you are ok, when you and Mudz are out on a date
Murdoc gets really pissed when this happens, so S/O will have to call him down
With pastel and bright clothes you gonna want to not leave them around Murdocs room/Winnebago because that shit will be stained to high hell(even if you need a black light to see the stains), and those stains will never come out, so be reaaally careful
He doesn't really understand why you like pastel & bright clothes or makeup- but he definitely thinks you look good in it so he won't complain- as long as you don't try and put any of that on him(at least in public)-
Listen hun, Murdoc has a reputation to uphold!- Murdoc would often repeat variants of that
"SSSZZ-SSTOOWWWPPHhhu- *hmph* I have a reputation- and YOU-" Murdocs points an accusatory finger at S/O "-Fuck'in... leav'en damn stupid... neon fuk'en PINK lipstick marks.. on MY damn FACE... BEFORE A DAMN SHOW..isn't help'in..."
"Why'dya got'a go'in be so damn cute... yer stupid 'KinDNeSs' making me look... ugh nice..."
S/O when their in the later phases and later in the relationship- S/O definitely made Murdoc more nice but only really around S/O- don't get me wrong when S/O's gone Mudz still a complete ass
But he tends to be more chilled out, Murdy once he got close to S/O, he really wanted her to like him- but this isn't uncommon with Murdoc getting scared his shitty behavior is gonna scare a person he genuinely cares about away
He's in complete denial about going any for of soft, and he just ends up acting like a piss baby-
"Wha'dya mean I'm go'in soft!?!" Murdoc said pulling away from S/O
"Babe. You're wearing the *insert random pastel themed character* shirt I got you..."
"...I-...I had nut'en else to wear.." Murdoc tutned away with a huff
"You walk around shirtless and in your underwear all the time- what changed?"
"...ShutUp-!..."
Or
"..Damn face ache..." Mudz slammed the door with a a groan, clearly agitated
"You ok dear?"
Murdoc turned to you and pouted like a bitter old man "Face Ache said I was going soft!!! Can ya believe that fuck'en nob!"
He's overall very bitter and sour about going soft, so don't tease him to much unless you want his grumpy-ness to turn into full blown anger
Murdoc like to send S/O pictures of things that remind him of her/her style
This is most often pictures of clothes, but it can maybe be a pic of a stuffy or somthing, these items are often pointed out by Noodle or even 2D
But when 2D talks about/points out things that remained him of S/O Mudz will most likely get jealous... and I think we can geuss how it usually goes from there..
Speaking of jealousy
Due to how nice and kind of a person S/O is to everyone, and how insecure Murdoc can be- he can get jealous pretty easy depending on the situation
And no it's not a 'ohh ahh, he's protective and loving' jealousy- no he's an insecure angry goblin man- only getting petty and aggressive, just sit him down and have a talk, he just needs some reassurance
To add to S/O dressing up Murdy. Murdoc refuses to match outfits, he refuses to let you do his makeup... or take pictures of it to show it to people at least..
Like my last statement implies Murdoc has let her do his makeup before, S/O just can't take pictures to show it around to people- tho this doesn't mean you can't take pictures at all
Because you can and you do, S/O has so many pictures of Murdoc in a skirt, or a full face of makeup, etc... and there all adorable even if Murdoc is pissed in all of them
Murdoc refuses to match your style or do any of the dressing up thing in public, or let any of it go out into public. He is stubborn and this is a big boundary for him, so please respect this.
This doesn't just apply to appearances, but just his stuff in general, so no cute neon stickers on things, or cutesy decorations without his permission. Murdoc stands firm on his decision so don't push to much he will get really agitated, and it might lead to a fight- like I said his stubbornness is off the chart.
Murdoc teases S/O quite a bit especially at the beginning of the relationship, and especially if its in earlier phases-
It's how he copes with nice people, Murdy isn't use to people being nice
Murdoc grew up with assholes, he was raised to be an asshole, and he was raised in a way to basically see kindness to be a form of weakness.
So him being shown kindness from this goddess, in response he freaks out a bit and just get really teasy out of defense at first
And knowing him, he might say some upseting things. So S/O has to walk very carefully around early phase Mudz or just a bit early in the relationship
Murdocs sweetheart of a girlfriend is gonna have to break down some walls, and honestly this applys to all and any relationship with Mudz- theres always a few walls to get through
But with any initial kindness there will be some extra defense put up by Murdoc
(I wanna talk about phaze 7 Mudz specifically for a second, so like spoiler warning I guess? )
Murdoc is firm on the fact what he is wearing isn't a dress- we all know what I'm referring to!
That thing he wears in the Cracker Island music video.
He referres to it by whatever it's actually name is(again I don't know, I'll edit it when I figure it out) or he calls them PJ's. He has referred to it dress like but never a girly dress like somthing S/O would wear- and he gets pissy if anyone goes around calling it that. Though in the passed Murdoc has probably worn a dress before.
(Ok weird tangent over, back to just general Murdoc)
Despite hating it when S/O does his makeup or dressing him up- Murdoc does love picking her clothes out and has more then once done S/O's makeup- and he isn't the greatest at first but he does eventually learn how to apply eyeliner without impaling your eyes
Murdoc while is proud of his work- will not stop laughing at how she looks after he's done S/O's makeup
Murdoc 100% underestimates S/O, he thinks S/O is one of the most pure things ever and he wants to mess that up ;)
JK- I'm just joking... particularly...
Anyway!-
He just kinda sees S/O as a bit of a childish innocent person who's oblivious to the world- like how else could you be so happy?
If S/O really is that innocent than good luck, becuase that sure as hell isn't gonna 100% last if she wants to stay with this Satanist
But if you arn't as innocent well then it's quite a pleasant surprise to Murdoc
It's up to you to determine how you want Murdoc to figure out S/O's lack of innocence but here are some examples
1. Murdoc used a horribly raunchy and crapy pickup line on S/O and she retorted back with her own, this left Murdoc flustered and stunned before he played it off pretty well. Mudz jokes about this later on because he finds this situation funny
2. Murdoc whilst pissed said some unsavory things, and S/O responds in a way that shows she understood what he just said, and Murdoc depending on how bad what he said was would either laugh it off or he would immediately choke on his own spit, then awkwardly defend himself
3. Very similar 1 but Murdoc made a dirty or just inappropriate joke and S/O expressed they understood and Murdoc would just burst out laughing
Just a few ideas- but it's up to you
But once Murdy finds out, him being the dirty little man he is- he's gonna tease you about it. Mudz sometimes mockingly treats you like a kid- with all good intentions of course
Either way innocent or not S/O is just as appealing- just in different ways
"Dove... your cuteness juz made me throw up'en my mouth.."

Live Stream
Pairing: Collin Hoskins x OFC Black!Reader (Shauna Lewis) Rating: 18+ M for language, implied smut, praise kink (very slight, if you blink you might miss it) Summary: Shauna is live streaming her makeup routine when Collin makes an appearance. Requested: No, just a quick Drabble. I missed my favorite Pairing especially since I’ve been looking at Season 2 of Blindspotting. Word Count: 688
Tumblr media
“Hey everyone! Thank you so much for the love! Keep sending in what look y’all want to see next. This was requested by one of my followers, they want a soft glam date night look. Which is perfect because my man is taking me out tonight.” Shauna smiled
Shauna started doing live streams and tutorials during the Lockdown when she couldn’t do hair. She quickly gained a decent following from her clients and then when she did the don’t rush challenge by herself she went viral. Her video gained almost a million views and was shared all over social media. Now that the pandemic is over, she still posts videos but now they’re of her doing her clients' hair or makeup. Occasionally she’ll live stream either herself or she has a client in her chair. For the most part, when she’s live streaming she’s by herself showing a makeup look, hairstyle, and most recently an outfit.
“So I’m gonna do my makeup, my hair is already done, I installed this wig yesterday and I will be posting that video on my YouTube—will I ever stream on YouTube? Probably not, I like using TikTok to stream. Who does your lashes? Me, girl! If you in Oakland come get lased by ya girl Shauna. Alright, let’s get started on these brows. Remember your eyebrows are cousins, not twins.”
Collin walked into your shared apartment after having dropped Zan off with Ashley and Sean. He has been planning this date night for months but either he had to work late, Shauna has a client, or nobody could watch Zan. Not that Collin and Shauna didn’t mind going out with Zan but sometimes they wanted to spend time together as a couple. He saw the bedroom door open which usually meant Shauna was recording content to post later on. Collin typically didn’t bother you when you were recording mainly when you were streaming, but if you were just recording a routine, Collin would at least say hi, knowing that you could edit it out.
“Alright, so here is the final look, like I said you don’t have to wear this exact outfit but this is the perfect date night look. I got this dress from Cider, the shoes, purse, and jewelry from Amazon. Don’t break ya wallet ladies, it’s not that serious. Oh, hey babe!” Shauna smiled seeing Collin standing in the doorway.
“Hey, baby.” Collin entered the room and kissed you gently, being sure not to mess up your makeup.
“How was your day?”
“Good, I’m gonna hop in the shower real quick, get changed, and we can head out. You gonna be done by then?”
“Yeah, I’m almost done. I’m not gonna post until tomorrow.” Shauna blushed at the way Collin was looking at her. Well, he didn’t have to do much to make her blush in the first place.
“I love your make up Shauna, it looks really good. I know you put a lot of time and effort into it.” Shauna smiled bashfully at the praise
“Thank you, Collin.” Then Shauna saw a familiar glint in his eyes. Before she could stop him, Collin wrapped his hand around Shauna’s neck causing her to crane her head up at him.
“I can’t wait to mess it up later,” He said huskily Shauna went wide-eyed
“Collin! I’m recording,”
“You can edit it out,” He replied grabbing Shauna by her waist and pulling her closer
“It’s live!” She stressed
“Huh?”
“I’m live right now!” Not believing her, Collin got closer, and sure enough almost 2,000 people saw and heard the whole exchange. Many people in the comments were sending laugh emojis or commenting on how cute the two of them are.
“Oh shit,” He mumbled Shauna started to playfully nudge Collin out of the bedroom. “What up y’all.”
“You about to get me shadowbanned! Go get ready.” Shauna closed the bedroom door and went back to her stream
“Alright, everyone, here’s the look I’ll post pictures on my Instagram. As you’ve seen and heard, I got some things to do. See y’all later! Bye!” sshhauna.lewis has ended the Live Stream

The Reaper and the Death Angel Prologue
In this post I announced two new series, this is the Jax x Reader one. It borrows heavily from the TV show Bones and characters for The Punisher. It will also take a lot of plots for these two posts 1 2
Series Masterlist
Warnings: The reader's Brother is described, but it won't have any impact on the reader's appearance (I don't want to spoil more). This is a Clay hate blog and it shows right away, a one sentence reference to sex offenders.
626 Words
Comment if you want to be tagged in this series.
You've spent most of your adult life in and out of war zones, and you've worked with the US military to identify terrorist and dead GIs. Sick of all the death and pain you chose to leave fieldwork and go back to historical research. When your little Brother leaves the Marines and settles in a small town, you decide to follow him. Will you find a home in your small, underfunded Musume job and your Brother's found family? Or will life with the Club just be another war zone?
Tumblr media
"The new guy is starting today right?" Jax's voice moved across the garage into the office.
"Yeah, Samuel y/l/n. He should be alright if his references are anything to go by."
*************
The new guy was huge, big, tall, and board with biceps the size of tree trunks. He had sandy blond/brown hair cut into the traditional high and tight of the Marines. Light brown eyes and skin tanned from years in the Sun. He seemed overly zipped up, like the sky could start falling and he'd just shrug and find a way to fix it.
"You don't talk much do you?" Clay's voice was short and judgemental.
"I don't want to give anyone the wrong idea is all." Sam was still filling out paperwork when Clay spoke, he had only been there half a day and hadn't had time to get to know anyone.
Not a good sign
"Do you ride?" Jax's tone was neutral.
"Yeah, I've got a 1939 El Knucklehead at home."
"Shit, man! How did you come by that?" The garage had suddenly gone quiet. Tig was still starting with his mouth open.
"My older Sister y/n got it for me as a gift for finishing basic training."
More silence, and then Clay pipped in again.
"Some Sister, huh?"
Sam started shaking his head.
"Not really, she hates them with a passion, calls them 'machines of death and skin graphs'. The day after I got it she made me attend an autopsy of a guy who had laid his bike down after speeding without a helmet. Then she told me if she ever caught me without a helmet breaking or the road rules, she would give my organs to someone who actually cared about them"
"That's a bit harsh" ok, he really didn't like Clay.
"Not no bit, she just wanted to make sure I was mature enough to undersand the risks I was taking. She's always been very.... adult."
Clay seemed to accept his response, however he could tell that if you and Clay ever met, it would be icy at best.
"Wait, how did she get you into the morgue?" Juice was fast demonstrating he was the smart one.
"She's a forensic anthropologist." Sam was careful not to give too much away, you were a private person.
"Which is?"
Google it old man.
"She uses someone's bones to identify them and how they died if their bodies are too damage or decomposed to identify them by normal means."
Tig chimed in.
"That sounds fun."
A few days earlier
"Are you excited for your new job?" Sam could hear the occasional bang of gunshots over your voice.
"I guess so, why don't you tell me how your background check turned out?" his tone was affectionate but accusatory.
"Ok, they're clearly into some shady shit. But no sex offences or domestic violence convictions, not that the paperwork is anything to go by."
Crack
"Sorry about that, our mercenary babysitters don't really know what they're doing."
Sam wasn't worried, if he worried about you when you were overseas, he would never stop.
"One Mr Clarence 'Clay' Morrow and a Mr Piermont 'Piney' Winston served in the Corp in Nam, and one Mr Filip 'Chibs' Telford was in Ireland during The Troubles, no other former service members."
So the K-Bar on Jax's hip wasn't his.
"That's about it. I want you to make your own mind up about them so I'm not giving you anymore details."
Sam huffed.
"You can be very frustrating sometimes, you have the knowledge of everyone's shady dealings at your fingertips and you choose to use your power responsibility?"
"Yes, Sam. Make sure you iron your shirt when you go in, you want to make a good first impression.
Part 1
I hate this so far but it's going to take a while to develop the story I'm really sorry if the dialogue feels stilted.

Cold
pairing: Kaeya x reader
Warning: Angst, alcohol
A/n: What's this? I'm posting 2 weeks in a row, it's never been seen before. Also, I know I'm owing a lot of part two's but I'll get them out soon enough! Kind of short but it's fine!
Written by: @dogloveri23

Tumblr media
Kaeya had a sweet mouth, his lips could spill the sweetest or most flirtatious comments that would make anyone in the whole of mondstadt if not the whole of Teyvat fall for him or become entranced. But Kaeya was like a hunter looking for his prey. Who ever got caught would never escape unscathed. While he would occasionally flirt, many who knew him would rather not go pass the line of flirting. Those who got their heart broken by him would never be able to meet his gaze. Who ever dared to get close to him would find themselves among the fields of the heartbroken. So why? Why did you fall? Why didn't you adhere to the pleading glances that were thrown your way? You thought you could change him, become the one in his heart but at what cost? He tossed you aside like a used napkin and didn't spare you a glance. You thought he loved you, you thought he cared about you! You thought he was your one and only but it cost you your heart. You would never recover from this, not at all. You were too fragile, you couldn't handle the hard times. The times where he wouldn't come visit for months, the times where he would ignore you at the Knights of Favonius headquarters and tell you he wanted your relationship private, the times were he said the words that he promised to never say to anyone else, you couldn't handle his drinking addiction and having diluc drop him off at your doorsteps. This wasn't what you wanted, it wasn't what you signed up for. And yet you had to deal with the consequences. Being with Kaeya felt like a fire place suddenly going cold. It was like he didn't want you anymore.
"Y/n, don't feel down but if I'm being honest I had warned you ahead of time that the Knights of Favonius Calvary captain was nothing but trouble. I mean does manage to slack off of his duties as well" Amber said as she took a bake of her portion of sticky honey roast. "Don't worry I shall move him up on my list of people I want to enact vengeance upon" Eula said as she folded her hands across her chest. "Thanks but I'd like to focus on myself right now, thank Eula" You say. "The Knights are back from their expedition" The knights at the city gates announced as the sound of footsteps and horses were heard. "Speak of the devil" You say as the three of you get up and Do the Knights pose as they pass by your spot at Good Hunter. "Oh you guy are hanging out without your favourite Calvary captain,  I'm offended" Kaeya says as he places a hand on his chest feigning being upset. " Huh, I see you're not lazing around today Kaeya" Amber said as she  relaxed from her pose and crossed. Eula did not speak a word as she walked away from the scene giving you a worried look before leaving the scene. You started to walk away from the scene before feeling a hand on your wrist. "Not a single word Y/n, I never thought you were this cold" Kaeya said earning a glare for you. This man had the audacity!  "Hello, can you leave me the hell alone? You've embarrassed me enough" You say calmly not meeting his gaze. "Acting grandmaster jean told me to bring you along with me to the headquarters when I get back, so I'm afraid I can't leave you alone" Kaeya said calmly as he let go and walked in front of me and signaled for you to follow me. "So how have you been ?" Kaeya asked as you walked together. "Don't speak to me please" You say before falling silent. "Hmm, seems I really pissed you off this time huh, I'm sorry I know I'm not the best lover. But it's part of what you signed up for" Kaeya said as he stopped walking and stood in front of you. "I didn't sign up for that and I would have never would have signed up if I knew you would be a waste of my time. You're incapable of love Kaeya, your heart is the same as your vision, cold. And being with you in the biggest mistake I ever made. I suggest we drop this discussion entirely" You say walking past him growing distant from his eyes and his heart.

Right so... #WolfGetsReal, huh?
I mean, none of this has really sat well to me. I'm not a therianthrope myself, but theriomythic arguably applies to me, and I am more animalistic than I let on. Species dysphoria is the one thing that affects me directly, and very little of it is social: without physical transition, which is scientifically impossible, there is no treatment nor cure for the symptoms I have.
I haven't watched Wolf (2021), owing largely to my general disinterest in movies. It's rare I do watch films, and I'm certainly not going to waste two hours of my time watching a movie I'm guaranteed not to like. Everything I've heard about it so far says that it sucks, it's a shitty B-list movie, and has pretty well no artistic value.
Alt+H decided to call a community initiative to drown the movie's tags talking about actual species dysphoria, owing to an interview with the director where she admitted she went out of her way not to do any research.
Now, I'm not defending the director here, because that's a stupid move in general. But I am gonna come outright and say that I don't think this community initiative is a good idea. Actually, let me make that slightly plainer: I think it's a stupid, ill-thought-out idea at best, and an actively dangerous one at worst.
This is a B-list movie, with zero famous actors, that very few people are going to watch. Of those few people, most if not all of them are going to either a) think it's a werewolf movie spliced with an ableist mental facility movie, or b) think it's a bad allegory for queer struggles.
Literally nobody but us is going to go "hm let's be ableist towards the delusional with ~species dysphoria~ :)" because we're not in the spotlight outside of when we're brought up linked to transphobia. We are very occasionally that weird guy in an internet story you heard about once, and that's only if you're on the internet a lot.
Now, I know where this idea came from: back earlier this year when Grimes put 'otherkin' in her twitter bio and changed her birthdate to that of a nuclear bomb, the otherkin community flooded the twitter tags with introductions and 101s and threads on how cool the community is. It worked quite well, I think, and it's clear this is more of that.
We were forced into the spotlight, so we forced the spotlight to be about us, and not the misinformation. Grimes has a depressingly large following, we didn't have a choice.
This... isn't that. The only reason anyone would watch this movie is if they're bored of Sundance films. Hells, it's even released right around two very anticipated Spiderman trailers. It's a movie destined to be overlooked, a box office flop, and forgotten.
So tell me: if we don't actually have a spotlight, why the hell are we making one? In the twitter tag of #WolfGetsReal, I've seen not one but two bestialist / animal abusers trying to overtake the narrative and link therianthropy to bestiality. Right now, the therianthrope community is having a nightmare time trying to kick them out.
You're telling me we should go viral with zero cohesiveness, focusing on therianthropy, and give them the chance to irreparably link therianthropy to bestiality? Because of a shitty B-list movie that otherwise would fade into obscurity?
No. No, this is a bad idea. If we want to go viral, this is a terrible way to do it. Don't get me wrong here, talking about species dysphoria and writing up posts and essays and 101s is great. But doing it specifically to go viral, when we have some major predators already frothing at the mouth to steal the mic for their malicious and substantially evil purposes?
It's ill-thought-out at best, and I cannot approve. There's literally no upside to this. The director wouldn't listen to us at best (if that were possible, it would have been done already), we do not have any power we can actually use, any spotlight we make right now on this issue will be immediately hijacked (and we have currently zero plan to mitigate that major issue), and making a spotlight of us being made fun of isn't something we can turn around.
There's no upside to doing this. If we want to talk about species dysphoria, let's focus on that, not bring emphasis to a movie that should fade forgotten into obscurity.
I know Alt+H also noted that between this and Wild Mountain Thyme, it seems the beginning of a trend. But WMT was taken almost universally by people who aren't us as a metaphor, and had a total of zero impact on the community. If we let this pass us by the same way, it will also have zero impact. And right now, I'll take no attention over almost-guaranteed-to-be-bad attention.
So that's my thoughts on that.
