#ik i put nico down

[tetzoro]

was gonna make a post about how ushijima would be the perfect frankensteins monster for halloween before i remembered its canon.

[pumpkinbxtch]

hey, ik requests are closed but if you could do this one, i'll be very grateful. just remember, if you don't want to, you don't have to.

i was thinking if post-trial apollo, meets the reader, after the trial (can the reader be a child of Hades? like a child of Hades would be so iconic), love at first sight (fuck, why is this so cliche 😭😭) and tries to spend more time with the reader. the reader is new to the entire camp thing, and is getting more used to it, and grows closer to Apollo. but he's like scared to admit he's in love bc he thinks, that just like all his past lovers, the reader would run away, or kill herself, or fall into deep trouble, but after some really had event in which he almost loses y/n, he goes all haywire, confessing everything and it becomes a cute, fluffy scene together

AGAIN ik you aren't taking in requests, so if you don't want to do it, it's totally fine. love so many of your fics btw ♥️♥️

i love you, isn't that the worst thing you've ever heard?

— apollo/lester x child of hades!reader

warnings: none a/n: Hello beautiful person. You're seeing this, now you know that I take your request and I want to say why and it's because you asked me so nice that I couldn't resist. I have corazón de pollo which is something like being very sensitive or being warm-hearted. Anyway, let me know if you liked it. I hope it was like that and thank you for reading me, for your support. ❤️ Kisses from Pluto! ha ha

Your legs settled back over Apollo’s knees, and he kept them in place with his hands, letting out a snort.

— You’re pretty comfortable with a god, aren’t you? — His pretentious tone just made you smile and shrug.

— You didn’t move my feet, did you? — you replied in the same tone, and he leaned against the cabin wall. It was true, and if it were up to him, he never would.

— Whatever…— he muttered, watching you lie back down, putting your attention back on a comic book Will Solace had lent you, saying it was based on one of his favorite movies, which made you interested in reading it. You thought you and Will weren’t that different, and you liked him but not in ‘that’ way, just as a friend. After all, Will was becoming part of the family with your brother Nico because they seemed to have something slowly brewing.

— How many times have you said I love you?— you asked out of the blue, still not taking your eyes off the comic. Apollo almost choked on his own saliva.

— What’s that about? — he said evasively. He didn’t want to talk about it because if he remembered correctly, all those times had ended badly. He tried to catch your eyes but found the glossy cover of the comic in the way.

You shrugged and turned the page, continuing with the same topic.

— I heard Nico say that to Will once when they thought I was out of our cabin, but I was just in the bathroom.

— Hmmm. And?

— Nothing, just that Nico doesn’t say it often. I’ve only heard him say it to his sister Bianca, his real sister. Also to Hazel, to me, and to Will.

Now Apollo understood but played dumb.

— I don’t know.

You tapped his thigh with your foot.

— Of course you do.

And obviously, he did, but stayed silent, hoping the comic would distract you enough.

— I think they’re falling in love — you stated, laughing at something you read. Apollo could never understand how demigods managed with ADHD; now, it just seemed like a curse.

— Well, I suppose.

His half-hearted responses annoyed you, and you put the comic down with a frown, and he apologized with his eyes.

— Have you fallen in love recently?

That question threw him off. Apollo gently moved your legs aside to sit on the edge of the bed with his heart racing and a pout on his face.

— Where are you going? — you asked, concerned, setting the comic aside and sitting next to him. Apollo smiled sheepishly. He didn’t like lying to you, but whenever you started guiding the conversation that way, he had to find a way to escape.

— I need to do something in olympus, they just told me.

You made a face and nodded. You never got involved in that; after all, he was a god.

In the end, Apollo sat moodily on his throne, watching time pass at Camp Half-Blood. Since his return as the sun god, things had changed in his heart, so he found himself more in that place despite what the gods said, which reminded him of when he met you.

You had recently arrived and caught attention for reaching an age where any demigod would have died, but shortly after, if not the same day, everyone knew you weren’t just any demigod. You were a child of Hades. Of course, the most delighted with this was Nico, who welcomed you and made sure you were never alone.

Things were fresh, so Apollo ended up in your close circle until it became very close. If Apollo was at Camp Half-Blood, you were with him, and it didn’t take long for him to fall in love with you, though you hadn’t realized it yet.

You felt safe growing up by his side; no one would mess with you since you were a child of the big three and a close friend of a god. Some fools judged you for your company, but they were afraid to approach when you were – according to Apollo – an adorable person.

The god watched through the fire as you thrived in camp after his unexpected departure, and to him, you were doing too well, though some things were too good for his liking, and he couldn’t deny it; you were charming in more than one way, which obviously attracted campers like Harley, that son of Hephaestus who sometimes gave you cute things like that pomegranate made of metal leaves. A gift that seemed very familiar when he saw Leo flirting with Calypso.

Leo flirting with Calypso.

Leo flirting.

The god stood up and admired the scene closely. Harley had blushed cheeks while giving you the gift, and you smiled gratefully. No way, he knew the sons of Hephaestus were bold, but he never imagined someone would be so obvious with you due to your lack of understanding of indirect hints. They approached but never that close, and he should have guessed, but also, he wasn’t one to get angry.

You received the gift and admired it closely, but only thanked him briefly, which seemed enough proof of your affection to the son of Hephaestus, something Apollo obviously loathed as well as keeping him awake the rest of the night.

He didn't know why (well he did) but the god ended sitting at the dining pavilion, his nails digging into the table.

— Everything okay? — Your voice snapped him out of his trance, and he smiled. You always seemed to have a radar for when he was near.

— Will fell in love with Nico, and Nico with him. Do you think they both realized it or just one?— His question took you by surprise, and more than making you think twice, it excited you that he finally answered that kind of question since he always seemed to have a repulsion to them.

You sat beside him, and Apollo gave you a sweet look, waiting for your answer.

— Maybe Nico and Will know, but Will could be waiting for Nico to give clear signals about it.

— Maybe Nico is scared.

— Does he think Will isn’t?

You both fell silent. It was clear; it was in the air, you weren’t really talking about your brother and Will.

— What’s the worst thing he could say to Will? — you asked, your hand reaching for Apollo’s to intertwine your fingers. The blonde swallowed and suddenly felt breathless.

— I don’t know, but I can think of something.

Apollo made a face and turned a little more towards you, his cheeks red and his eyes shiny. He was afraid of hurting you, of things not working out as they did with his previous lovers; he could never afford to make you suffer when he already knew the degree of consequence it would have in his life, but beyond his good or bad karma, he cared about you. He loved you enough never to try to have you.

Your patience was reaching its limit, and although the son of Hephaestus was cute, sweet, a good match… your heart belonged to someone since the first moment you saw him.

—Apollo… —your voice called him with a bit of seriousness, a peculiar tone that made the god realize his time for redundancies was over.

— I love you, isn’t that the worst I could say?

Your eyes widened with hope, and you moved a little closer to him, bumping knees.

— From Nico to Will? — you asked, not wanting to humiliate yourself.

Apollo’s blue eyes examined you suspiciously. The responsibility would fall on him; he was never the best at hiding his feelings, but if your happiness depended on it, the first moment he saw your life in danger, he wouldn’t hesitate to disappear from it. For now, a confession was something very innocent.

The sun god turned to you with a bit more evident confidence and didn’t let go of your hand; instead, he kissed it.

— No. From me to you…

imagining euijoo fingering you under the table while jo, taki, and nicholas is RIGHT there (inspired by that one photo iykwim)

yes ik what you mean anon🙁🙏 i love that photo sm.

( smut incoming ! pls dni if uncomfortable)

- ☁️

warnings: exhibition, fivesome intent from euijoo bc he’s horny, the others get hard, reader ends up sucking jo off and giving taki & nicholas handjobs, PUSSY EATING EUIJOO..🫡.

you were out with your boyfriend and his members, jo , taki , nicholas, out eating in tokyo. euijoo thought it’d be fun to go out with the guys, but he also thought it would be fun to tease the fuck out of you under the table despite you being right in the middle of him and jo, how fun.

so here you are, trying to push away euijoo’s hand that kept creeping up into your skirt ( which he successfully did ) he sipped his drink, acting as if he could do no wrong as per usual whilst he slipped your underwear to the side and pushed his two fingers into you, chuckling as he heard you grab onto the table gently as you bit onto your lip. jo looked at you with a confused look along with taki and nicholas who had stopped their conversation due to the sudden noise. “y/n , are you okay” taki asked as he raised an eyebrow, sipping his own drink as nicholas gave euijoo a look, as if he knew what is going on, euijoo gave his bestfriend a knowing smile and pumped his fingers in you at a quick pace, causing you to choke on your drink. “woah, calm down there, y/n, you’re gonna end up choking for real.” nicholas said as he handed you a napkin to wipe your mouth, jo put his hand onto your shoulder and rubbed it to help you, you know it shouldn’t but god did that do something to you because before you knew, you clenched around your boyfriend’s fingers which caused him to laugh to himself.

“i-i’m fine guys, don’t worry, i just hit my foot is all!” you said as you desperately tried to hold in a moan, all euijoo did was speed up his fingers, his jealousy becoming evident in his actions. jo and taki seemed to have figured out what was going on as they simply nodded and continued to eat their food, euijoo held a spoon to your lips and tapped on it. “say ahh, baby.” he said, you pouted before opening your mouth for him to place the spoon gently in to give you food, you chewed as euijoo continuously pumped his fingers into you like a maniac, making it so much harder for you to even hold in a moan.

jo’s hand never left your shoulder as he kept rubbing on it, taking a bite of his food every now and again as nico and taki tried to distract themselves as well. “why are you guys so quiet?” euijoo asked, knowing damn well why they’re silent, but he just wanted a reaction out of them. you couldn’t help yourself as you buried your face into jo’s arm, quietly starting to whimper from the amount of pleasure just euijoo’s hand alone was giving you. euijoo scoffed yet again as he place his thumb onto your clit, rubbing onto it harshly as his fingers continuously were being pumped into you like no other. jo felt his face heat up as he has never been in this situation before but god was it hot to him, taki and nico.

oh how wrong it feels but they can’t help but get rock hard at what was happening, luckily it was only you and them in the area, so if they wanted to fuck you, they could, if euijoo allowed it of course.

euijoo noticed that jo had gotten stiff from your sudden movement and chuckled. “baby, since you love being so close to jo, why don’t you just suck him off, i’m sure he doesn’t mind, right jo?” he said as he turned his head to the taller male, who’s face turned bright red from the sudden question, he gulped and nodded slowly, praying that his group leader won’t kick his ass for wanting get his dick sucked by you. “alright then, go on then, y/n. suck him off, give nico and taki a show yeah?” euijoo said yet again as he moved jo’s hand to your hair, jo was using his free hand to pull out his own cock from his pants, taki and nico couldn’t believe what was happening right now, was euijoo really letting his own friends do stuff to his girlfriend, IN PUBLIC. yep, he was, and boy was he turned on from it.

jo gripped your hair as you took his veiny cock into your mouth, nearly gagging as you pushed it to the back of your throat. jo tilted his head back as he moaned quietly, biting his lower lip, his hips moving on their own as he thrusted himself into your throat, having you moan against his cock. euijoo watched the scene with taki and nico as he kept his fingers pumping in and out you continuously, chuckling at how fucked out you seem to be getting already, seeing you choke and gag on jo’s cock, snapped something in euijoo. he liked seeing you suck on another man’s cock, why? who knows, but damn is it hot to him. euijoo looked over at the other two on the other side of the table, who seemed to feel left out in a way. “i’ll let her give you guys a hand job, but if you wanna fuck her, we’re going back to the hotel room.” he said as the two looked at their fellow member with slight shock, wow he really was allowing them to have their cocks by you AND in you? he’s definitely snapped into something else.

taki and nico moved the table away slightly before moving to where you were, taking out their own cocks, your hands taking each of them before pumping them like no other. taki gasped and shivered at the sudden pumping, holding onto the table behind him as nico just didn’t care as a moan left his lips, euijoo pulled out his fingers before diving his head in between your legs, his tongue lapping and slurping onto your pussy like a hungry puppy. you moaned loudly but it was kept muffled as jo kept fucking his cock down your throat, moans and groans coming from him and the others. euijoo held your leg up as he pushed his tongue into you, causing you to jolt a bit, your hands never stopping on nico and taki’s cocks as they moaned, was this supposed to happen? no.

but, be honest, did you like it? fuck yeah you did, and it sure as hell excited you more knowing they were all gonna use you as soon as you get back to the hotel

Last Christmas

First holiday fic coming up! Pairing: Platonic! Bianca and Nico di Angelo x reader Request: Reader showing Bianca and Nico their Christmas traditions? Also yes ik Bianca's not alive, but in this she is (if that's alright ofc) Warnings: None! Ig slight spoiler for the beginning of The Titan's Curse? Word Count: 1.2k - Asnyox

Ever since Bianca and Nico arrived at Westover Hall earlier this year, you’ve slowly been befriending them. Bianca was a little on guard at first, but as soon as you asked Nico to explain the rules of Mythomagic to you he loved you. And Bianca commended you for listening weekly to the multiple hours long explanations that Nico had. Eventually, she had let her guard down enough to talk about her and Nico’s past. 

Whenever she brought up that they came from Italy (how cool is that?) Nico grew quiet. He once admitted he didn’t remember a lot from those times, and got fascinated with what Bianca had to say. It was sort of a story time, you learned more about the Di Angelo siblings as time went by, and sure, sometimes things didn’t line up (how could they not have known of the Cold War? The Berlin Wall? They have lived here for a few years now according to Bianca!), but that could not quell your fascination. 

That’s why, on December 8th, Bianca sat both you and Nico down to talk about how Christmas in Italy used to go. 

“Today is also known as Immacolata Concezione in Italy,” Bianca smiled, “Nico, do you know what that is in English?” Nico squinted his eyes, hesitating a little bit. 

“Immaculate … conception?” He asked and Bianca nodded, a proud glean in her eyes. 

“Exactly. It’s a celebration of the birth of the Virgin Mary, without original sin.” Bianca nodded, “Normally this is when you would put up the Christmas Tree, and when the Christmas Markets would start.” 

“Here some people put up their tree in November,” you sighed, “some even earlier. It’s kinda fun how Italy has a specific date for it.” You smiled, “Did you guys have a specific tradition while putting up the tree? Hot chocolate and peppermints?” 

“I’ve never had Christmas peppermints.” Nico looked at you, “What else do you eat for Christmas? Can we get some?” 

“I don’t think you need more sugar, Nico,” Bianca interrupted him. 

“What do you guys mean? No Christmas crack? Reindeer Chow?” You asked exasperated, “You Christmas must have been subpar. I mean, you never made a gingerbread house? Do Italians hate architecture or something?” You sat up straighter, “That’s it, we’re going to have to break into the kitchen and bake you guys a Christmas.” 

───────────

You thought it would be harder to get everything ready for baking. Heck, you even thought you would have to be sneaky about it! Instead, you mentioned it to Grover, a new boy, who had seemed intensely interested in Bianca and Nico, yet scared to approach them. Poor boy, you hoped he would gather the courage soon. As you asked his opinion on escape routes, so you could get the ingredients, he stood on helping instead. And so, two days later, Grover led you to the kitchen. 

“How did you manage this?” You asked, amazed at all the ingredients that were present.  You even spotted three ugly, holiday themed aprons amongst the food. “A favor here and there,” Grover nervously looked around, “Just try not to leave the building, it’s dangerous.” he looked at you pointedly, until you reluctantly nodded. 

“Of course, uh,” You saw Nico and Bianca approach from the end of the hallway, “Do you want to join us?” You offered. Grover quickly shook his head. 

“No I uuh-” he stammered, “I have duties- deadlines- uh, yes.” and he took off into the other direction. 

“Who was that?” Nico asked, bouncing on his feet.

“Just a friend who helped set this up,” You opened the door and Bianca and Nico gasped. 

“What is all this stuff?” Bianca looked at the table, slight wonder on her face.

“Hopefully enough to make gingerbread houses!” You smiled, elated to find pre-baked gingerbread house kits in the middle of the table, “Let’s get the holidays going!”

After you explained the steps of making a gingerbread house, and assuring Bianca that glue would not make the process easier (it would but where is the fun in that?), you got started on the houses. Throughout the decorating you would talk about different holiday traditions you used to have, elaborating there where it was necessary. You supposed they hadn’t celebrated Christmas after getting to the U.S.A., which was kinda weird but you shrugged it off and kept talking. 

“I mean, Santa Claus delivers presents all over the world!” You announced giddy, only for Bianca’s eyes to widen as she quickly spoke up. 

“Yes, but he gets help by La Befana in Italy, for example,” she laughed awkwardly, “Of course, the whole world by one person would be too much!” You eyed Bianca in surprise, but before you got interrupted before you could ask about it. 

“That is so cool!” Nico jumped up, “I had never heard of Santa, but it makes sense!” He smiled widely. Ah, Nico must still believe in Santa, or whoever the Italian Santa Claus is.  Nico turned around his gingerbread house, “(Y/n), I already made la Befana but can you make Santa too? I want them both in my house, so I get more presents!” 

You looked at Nico’s house, noticing that he made a lady (?) with what is probably a broom. She was standing next to a snowman made out of icing, and there were the smallest penguin looking creatures too. The true stand-out creation was probably the guy, made fully out of yellow icing, holding a staff and having wings on his head. Nico saw you looking, and smiled. 

“I also added Hermes! I mean, the messenger god must have been helping with delivering presents too, right?” His excitement was adorable, and you nodded in agreement. 

“Of course, how else would anyone manage to deliver millions of presents?” You laughed. You grabbed a peppermint and red icing and went to work on adding Santa Claus to Nico’s house. 

───────────

It was getting late, and Nico had already dozed off, half laying on the table. Bianca and you were quietly cleaning up the mess together. As you were leaving, Bianca carrying Nico on her back, Bianca turned to you. 

“Thank you, (Y/n).” Her eyes looked sad, but she smiled, “Adjusting has been hard for us, and I’m really happy that we’re friends.” You smiled back at her. 

“It’s a delight knowing you and Nico, Bianca.” You petted the boy on her back, “I hope we’ll be friends for many years more, maybe make some Christmas traditions ourselves!” 

Bianca smiled, and Nico stirred a little on her back, urging you both to keep walking. Maybe, if things had turned out a little differently, you would have had traditions with the Di Angelo siblings, but as they disappeared from Westover Hall only a few days later, you would never know. You hoped they were alright.

i had this darkfic idea that i don't think i'll write because i don't really want to write toxic darkfic with valdangelo, though i'll go ahead & share it here in a drabble-ramble

thinking about an AU where nico begins to develop feelings for will, but he doesn’t like it. he doesn’t feel safe, opening up to someone in the way will wants him to. the butterflies in his stomach give him nausea, they distract him from things that really matter.

so, he asks leo to help him.

leo's going through a little bit of an anti-love spell himself. he was essentially manipulated by calypso (we support women's rights & women's wrongs) to die in order to reach her island again. she made him believe she loved him only to dump him the moment they touched ground in the mortal world (ik that's not how the boat works in the first place don't look at me). so, leo's in a state of anger & despair seeing as the love he felt he needed for so long was taken away from him.

so, leo takes this out on nico. he creates a simulation—he doesn't usually like tech over mechanical projects with buttons, though for this he sacrifices. he tells nico it's basically harmless, and nico allows himself to be hooked up & puts on the goggles.

in the simulation, nico sees will. he feels all of the similar symptoms of a crush—his heart speeds in his chest, his face flushes, nervous butterflies collect in his stomach.

and then, a new feeling.

a shock on his arm, zapping the nervous butterflies out of existence. nico whimpers at the feeling, going to rub his arm, though he can feel hands on him outside of the simulation. it's leo, holding his hands down with his own warm hands, his nimble fingers locking around his wrists.

"take this off," nico would order, though leo wouldn't move.

nico had a feeling this was part of the challenge. he wouldn't be done until he got rid of his crush on will. he would turn his gaze to the fake son of apollo in front of him, wincing as he was given another round of shocks. nico would continue to repress the feeling, fighting off the shocks as they rained down relentlessly.

eventually, leo did speak. his voice would be warm and soothing as he praised him. "good boy," he'd murmur. "i can see your heart rate going down...keep going, i'm sure you'll be done soon."

nico couldn't help but let out sobs. it was a vice grip of pain, so much so his arms were numb to all but the shocks. he could then feel leo's touch below the goggles, his tongue hot against his skin as he licked up nico's tears. that in itself made nico's stomach writhe with a new, curious heat. he wasn't looking at will, though, so he didn't recieve a shock.

finally, after what could have been half an hour or an entire day, leo would slip the goggles off nico. he would kiss his face where he hadn't been able to before, once over each closed eye. the son of hades tried to dry his tears, which was hard to do as leo insisted on keeping his arms pinned.

it was over. leo had helped him, and he was safe now.

"'m gonna try it, too," leo would murmur against nico's lips, smiling sweetly as the son of hades would struggle for breath. "gonna make us both invincible. thanks for being my little guinea pig, sweetheart."

and he would press his lips to nico's, fully and shamelessly. his tongue would press so lightly, so gently between nico's lips, asking to taste the remaining tears that had fallen there.

and nico would let him. butterflies would begin to collect in his stomach, and he would twitch on instinct at the memory of pain.

blair ik that we shouldnt really be talking about sad blake but i just had a thought that i wanted to ask about.

idk if you've ever seen dance moms but i can imagine the relationship between blake and her ex coach kinda like abby and maddie.

blake was the skating protegee, she gave up everything for skating and i think being isolated from her friends and family really allowed her to be emotionally manipulated. i think her ex coach would have def blammed her family for a. not being around enough when she was a kid for focusing on her brothers and never really being there and when blake gives out her side of the story about the abuse she faced she just blames her family and friends for manipulating her. i think she would have also been really disappointed by her ending her skating career (because the coach is just heartless like that) and put her on blast throughout the interview which is so incredibly sad. poor girl has been thro the miler

i'm so sorry for this long and incessant thought if this wasn't necessarily a topic that u wanna talk about for being heavy but i just wanted to share what i thought. you genuinely have such a wondrous way with words in your blurbs/au's and it really opens up interpretations into ur oc's <3<3

no we can talk about sad blake all day its one of my fav genres !!

heavy on being manipulated! she was in a complete different state from her family (she lived with her aunt, but still) and her coach was the only real stable influence she had which was obviously awful for blake. her ex coach shares all of this on her 'defamation' series and blames the family for not being around for blake and thus causing the coach to take on the role of being 'family' for blake. basically blames them for her toxicity while also denying it happened (truly a joyous person)

its such a messy situation. the coach basically blames blake for quitting even though she literally had no choice ! she also blames blake for not having a career anymore after blake didn't renew her contract (she stops coaching blake when blake turns 18 - and she gets injured at 19 under a new coach) because a bunch of the ex coach's other skaters came out about the abuse and of course blakes name was highlighted.

its really hard for blake because this interview comes out when shes like 23/24 so about 4-5 years after she left skating and has been trying to heal. then suddenly everything is being brought back up for the world to judge. plus her family and extended family are just bombarding her with apologies and explanations and she just cannot handle everything. theres too many emotional sit-down chats and it comes to a point where she just has to get away from everything.

she literally begs nico to take her away to switzerland so she could catch a break which he of course does.

never apologize for sending anything in!!! i love all the long thoughts so much i literally cannot begin to explain how much joy it brings me !! i will talk about absolutely anything (esp the blake au🤭) so pls feel free to send me any thought i eat it up every time !! im ranting now but youre so sweet🫂🫶 thank you so much for your compliments <333 truly the highest compliment i'm so happy youre interpreting my writing <3 means the world

My favorite lines of the Lackadaisy pilot:

Both of Rocky’s poems (especially the last stanza of the first poem)

It’s ~abundantly clear~ you forgot us down here.

I’m not sure lookouts are supposed to make such a ruckus

Begorra! For a moment there, I thought it was your mom!

Whiskey in the jar~

Right, we’ve been sooo discreet up until now.

Excuse me-! *gunfire*

This is a trifling matter.

They’ve got a way of…. festerin’. Allons!

I didn’t! / Didn’t? / Learn to drive!

Freckle’s laugh <3

Actually all of Freckle’s noises

Profoundly unprofessional.

No. Especially now that you’ve alleviated us of our windshield.

Just assume all of Mordecai’s dialogue is on this list

Or… do we have to worry about you gettin’… sentimental about old times?

Ivy’s little “Hot hot hot!”

This isn’t a noise but I love Rocky’s little twitches when he’s exploring the quarry

…Well, I guess that’s a gun!

I’ll draw them away. You start the car. ….Please.

What happened to you that made you hate fun?

Actually assume all of Seraphine’s dialogue is on this list

Ik this is redundant but I REALLY like Mordecai’s “Disable the vehicle”

Nico’s threatening “Hi”

*gunshot* Four… *gunshot* Five… *gunshot* Six. *gun clicks*

Ok fine I’ll put Rocky’s laugh on the list too

Mordecai hissing

Actually all of the catlike movements and noises are great. ESPECIALLY the tails

Come on, mudbug!

…You’re supposed to light it first.

The comic end that makes the tragedy, doesn’t it? Speaking of tragedy~!

Used to be we could drive a whole convoy of trucks in. *watches their last car struggle down the street in growing horror* Now we’re just digging for scraps.

…The door, sweetheart. / Oh, right!

Oh, thank goodness. I wasn’t sure you were alive.

Viktor breaking the shot glass

I drove the car! /Sorry… about the carpet.

The whole bit with JJ

The whole sunset rose cocktail scene tbh I can’t just pick one line

But ESPECIALLY Freckle’s distressed chirp and growl

Oh, just some spent ammo and- / Desecrated graves… / Fractured signage, minor flooding, lots of structural damage!

I fixed it!

Come on! You owe me a dance. / I do? / Yes, I’ve decided.

Ruthless, infamous hatchet man Mordecai’s Heller is calling me to… ask for a ride? / …Yes…

kinda want something angsty with jack?? ik you did that angsty luke one a little bit ago and then the quinn one in the daisy au, but i haven’t seen as many with jack! maybe i’m missing the posts if you have them but i kinda just want you to rip my heart out and make it all sad.

i’m using this prompt for this blurb: “When did you stop loving me?”

hope i break some hearts with this one

-

it was small things you noticed. the lingering scent of perfume on his clothes as you threw them into the washer. the late nights when he would return to the apartment at 2am saying that he got caught up playing video games with nico. the way his teammates always looked like they wanted to tell you something.

jack knew he was in the wrong. it was slowly beginning to eat him up and he was being less and less careless with his actions. his teammates didn’t have confirmation that he was cheating but they were sure of it, they just didn’t know how to break it to you.

you noticed the receipt for a bouquet of flowers on the floor of your shared bedroom. you pondered who jack was buying flowers for. he never bought you flowers. then you found the box of condoms in his nightstand drawer when you were putting his watch into his drawer. it was almost empty but you swore that you and him hadn’t slept together in a month and the box was full the last time you saw it.

jack no longer held you at night. he no longer kissed you when he returned home from practice or games. he no longer said “i love you”.

it was miles that got confirmation jack was cheating. miles had caught jack kissing her in the bathroom of the bar. jack had continued the excuse that you didn’t want to come out tonight, that’s why you were absent. but miles was catching them making out and he assumed that you didn’t even know the team was out at the bar for the night.

jack’s teammates loved you. which is why it wasn’t surprising when miles and nico appeared at your doorstep. “i thought jack would be with the two of you,” you said as you let them into the apartment. it had been two days since miles caught jack cheating.

“(y/n) we have to tell you something,” nico said softly, having you sit on the couch with the two of them. “i caught jack cheating on you,” miles swallowed. it was the confirmation that broke you. you tried to keep it together, trying to convince yourself that miles and nico were lying.

but deep down you knew they were telling the truth. you just couldn’t accept it. your lip wobbling as you shook your head in disbelief until a sob finally broke through. nico and miles apologized for jack’s behavior, hugging you.

hours later, it was eerily quiet when jack got home. he quickly hid the used makeup wipes in the kitchen trashcan, he had to get the lipstick off his neck while in the car before coming up to you. jack was surprised to see you awake in the bedroom. it was late. he quickly noticed the duffle bag sitting at your feet.

“how long?” you whispered. “what do you mean?” jack felt sick. “how long? when did you stop loving me?” you asked, finally looking up to meet his eyes. “i-i didn’t mean it. she’s nothing to me,” jack stuttered. tears pooled in his eyes from shame.

you simple nodded, sniffling before standing and grabbing your bag from the floor. “hope it was worth it jack.”

Brain go brr on the Q&A

+Xander trying to hide his piercing from his school is so him, I love it.

+Listen, I don't want to overthink the Q&A too much, but my brain won't let me be normal about some things. The birthday thing caught my eye. Supposedly, some of the dates are important, but the rest are meant to be spread out, right? But Veronika and David's birthdays are, like, two days apart, so does that mean they're important? Same with Ace and Arei (ike three days), but at least Ace's birthday is Halloween so it's not hard to figure out. I don't remember most of the other birthdays, so I don't know if there's more examples.

+Why is this the "new David"'s default sprite? Is he so smug it runs all the way to his default pose? What.

+David can cook, malewife status confirmed. Also, "how does he handle his feelings? Badly" That's hilarious.

+New info on the Spurlings! This is getting outta hand, now there's two of them! I'm really intrigued as to what the hell their deal is. And Duke could have been alive during the Tragedy? What are we implying here? So many questions!

+Ace is officially gay! Many people are happy with this development. Though I have to ask, did anyone ship him with any woman? Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen that. Anyways, not like it matters now!

+Pan Veronika, pan Veronika, pan Veronika yes! I love it! New headcanon; she just dates/has sex with anyone she thinks will be entertaining to date/fuck. "Bit-sexual", as internet funnyman Alpharad would put it.

+I swear the David sexuality thing is an actual quote from somewhere. Hold on.

Found it! Not the exact wording, but Andrew Garfield said something like it once. I love it, it's perfect for David!

+So Charles' scar is a dog bite, but he doesn't remember and thinks it's a birthmark? Is it... related to his brother's death? Dev, what. You can't just say things like that and then not elaborate. /j

+Levi with a sweet tooth is fantastic. I think it was already implied in his profile, but it's still great!

+Alright, about favorite colors:

Teruko: red (reasoning: association)

So... Xander or Mai? I'm leaning towards Mai, frankly.

Charles: "Why would I assign emotional value to colors? That's a ridiculous waste of energy." (cerulean)

That quote is hilarious. And now I can't help but imagine Charles unironically writing "cerulean orbs" in a fanfic-

Whit: neon pink (reasoning: "Pink!!")

God, I love these characters.

J: black (reasoning: cool)

I wouldn't expect less.

Nico: none (reasoning: no interest)

I honestly kinda love this, but also what does it mean.

Ace: dark blue/purple (reasoning: refuses to provide reasoning)

Acevi shippers are eating today, holy.

Arei: azure (reasoning: "I'm blue, so clearly it's the best color!")

Why did you have to die?

Min: taupe (reasoning: comforting)

Min information: absorbed. Love it. Also her design has a lot of taupe (I think) so it's comforting to me too.

Veronika: white in conjunction with other colors (reasoning: brings out other colors well)

Huh.

Alright, now least favorite:

Whit: gray (reasoning: boring)

Alright, tone it down, Kamukura.

Rose: none (reasoning: all colors have their value in the right situations)

Fantastic, I adore this.

Eden: blue (reasoning: "Kind of a downer color...")

Areden shippers in shambles. How would you say this about your girlfriend's color, Eden?

J: pink (reasoning: obvious)

If you listen closely, you'll hear Whit's heart breaking in the distance. But this is expected.

Hu: blueish white (reasoning: sterile)

This is Arturo's fave. Are we setting up a foil thing here? I'd honestly love to see it, Arturo and Hu may be the characters I want to see the most of after maybe Veronika.

Nico: white (reasoning: unsettling)

Nico, what- what the hell are you talking about?

Ace: titian (reasoning: doesn't like himself)

Ouch.

Min: white and pink together (reasoning: annoying)

Dude, Whit cannot stop catching L's here, what is going on. Anyways, Min info absorbed.

Veronika: white in the absence of other colors (reasoning: soulless)

So, this is pretty interesting and all that... but she dislikes the same color as Nico? The Vero-Nico dynamic grows stronger! You love to see it. Or I love to see it, I adore them as friends/spiritual siblings.

+Ace has nine siblings?! That's a lot of kids!

+Nico cuts their own hair, and gets the cat ear things to stay up? Ultimate Hairdresser in the bulding!

+

Veronika's single green earring is a 'good luck charm' given to her by her dearest friend.

Aafgsj- Who?! Okay, first, I didn't even realize she had that, so thanks for pointing it out. Second, you can't just say that! Because you know I'm gonna assume that's Mai, especially with it being a 'good luck' charm when Mai is (kinda) the antithesis of Teruko and thus (kinda) the antithesis of bad luck. Am I to assume Veronika will be plot relevant now? Because I sure hope she is! I wasn't supposed to overthink the Q&A, dev, but look at what you're doing to me!

+Now the ice cream flavors:

Charles - coffee

This is actually stated in his profile. You gotta admire the consistency.

Hu - rose

Honey, wake up, a new random ship based on one (1) detail just dropped. It's a pretty cute one, too.

Nico - "the flavor" (doesn't elaborate further)

What is Nico doing in this Q&A? What am I supposed to gather from this?

Min - lemon

Min info drop spotted. I'm very normal about this character.

Xander - sauerkraut???

Xander, what the fuck are you talking about.

Veronika - funfetti

Honestly love this. White with other colors, right? It's perfect!

+Rose's painting preferences are cool to know, and she does give off a bit of middle child vibes, idk why. And two moms? Pog.

+That concept art! DRDT would have ended a lot earlier if Arei simply had a gun.

+Smells! (which of you people-)

Veronika - Womanly perfume (heavy)

I... was not expecting that! But it's Veronika info, so I absorb it. I kinda like the idea.

Nico - Cat

The more I learn about Nico, the more I love them.

Min - Lavender/eucalyptus/lemons/whatever essential oil she decided to use that day

W-Why does she use essential oils? I guess they must help her relax, because there's no way she actually believes they have any other benefit. Unexpected, but it's neat.

Whit - Fruity fun shampoo (for kids)

Yeah, yeah.

+Interesting that the Spurling Foundation and XF-Ture Tech don't have any connection, I guess that post I made on Min's secret is slightly outdated. Still, XF-Ture Tech "seems to do a lot of other things", huh? Peculiar.

I loved this Q&A, it was so much fun! I hope something like this is done again in the future, it's great.

SPOILERS FOR EP 11 DRDT

Since I did a prediction earlier today, time to update!!

OKAY NO HiATUS WHAT NOOOOO! honestly having looked at the time during the livestream, i genuinely was questioning how they were gonna wrap this up by ep 12 like last time and started to wonder if this chapter will be longer as we spent this whole epsiode in david's extended mask off moment. as much as im sad abt the hiatus i am glad this is extended BECAUSE WE DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THE ACTUAL CRIME SCENE OR A DEBATE SCRUM tho ughhh noo this hiatus might kill meeee

OKAY DAVID OMG bro lost it AHHHHH i really wanted to believe that david had a good/moral reason for all this but to know he did all this secret maliciously?!!? ik he's not killer for sure so i do wonder how he's gonna be used in next chapters cuz as hot as he lowkey is rn and i do love his biting sarcasm, he's gonna be geninuely such a bitchy force to deal with in future chapters. to have this man constantly causing trouble for no other reason than fun and never trustworthy, i have to wonder if there's any hope left for him. i really hope that his arc actually has him improve cuz u know, poetic irony and all that jazz. Since now we know he doesn't believe what he says, i truly hope drdt takes the time to prove him wrong cuz i really dont want a grimdark killing game proving david (and in some ways, teruko) right. and also, idk why people are surprised david would lie abt being arei's killer and want to get himself killed rn. Bro literally now has lost his career and his public image is ruined. He doesn't have a life anymore for him to go back to. He already mentions how he hates everyone there, so I see zero reason why he wouldn't lie to drag everyone down with him

ACE SLAYS ONCE AGAIN! BRO POPPING OFF WITH THE TRUTH YESSSS AND CALLING OUT PEOPLE'S HYPOCRISY FOR NOT GOING AFTER DAVID WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!! Also j saying that she doubts ace's testimony just cuz she thinks he cant be quiet makes me sadddd

ALSO NICO AND CHARLES!!!! I love that nico comes back in clutch to help actually point out david's suspiciousness. His bluntness is always needed, especially with cutting through david's bs. ALSO CHARLES YESS IM GLAD HE IS NOW GONNA BE CRITICAL TO THIS CASE!!! I like that drdt takes advantage of its video format as normally to have a character interject like that in a mainline dr game would be bad since it's interupting gameplay and taking control out of player's hands. But it works here since we're not actually playing and shows teruko and charles backing each other up and shows people actually getting involved!!!

To the actual crime ... uh i dont know ... clearly this crime is so complicated that we need a TRIAL 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO lmaoo. i mentioned before but charles's comment of "fucking up" at the end seems to strongly imply the time of the murder, and thus everyone's testimonies for that time, are now irrelevant. Since arei was alive in the evening last night (ace does claim 7:30, but i do agree with david that ace might have just said that to back up his point rather than it being true) the death happened the prior night or early that morning. it puts into the question the note, calling for 7:30 but it could be 7:30 am before the motive reveal. however, unless it was something like a trap, such a time is so tight i find it hard to believe. maybe i'll do a post later doing a fully theory as i lose my mind during this hiatus (praying for it be under 6 months)

[yourthirdparent]

yeah ok its reyna anon again bc i read your thoughts good thoughts btw and now i need to yell aimlessly about her once again. ok SO ik shes not explicitly aro but like. as an aro that monologue in toa was SO arospec coded i cannot begin to explain. personally im of the opinion that shes secretly a chaos gremlin ok she has So much responsibility that she never gets to put down but normally is chaotic. her and percy’s friendship to me is like. you understand my trauma and help me process it in a way nobody else does and i do the same for you but Also they are the worst kind of bitch to each other <3. her and jason also???? like. what do you do when your best friend vanishes without a trace for months, doubling your responsibilities overnight and simultaneously you cant process or grieve even if you wanted to because you dont have time. and then the worst part is when he finally comes back to you and looks you in the eyes and treats you like a stranger. and you cant show any emotions about that either. then you all save the world and then he ignores you for months. and thats on top of all the other trauma shes so fucked up <33333. agree on the gender thing tho transmasc? transfem? bigender? genderfluid? cos but in an i dont give a fuck way? possibilities are endless. also her joining the hunters was kinda fuckin stupid. and also her and nico and jason are all So Autism i think that jason is the adhd autism creature combination with the big ears and autism eyes. i think she has chronic pain also and like. cane user reyna later on👀? anyway sorry i am So abnormal abt her thx 👍👍

i'm a little obsessed with you

anyways you're so fucking correct about cane user reyna holy shit you're so smart. also about jasonreynanico autism cuz Yeah that's autism right there. i'm not an adhd jason truther but i can get behind it. i think they all share like exactly one special interest and stare at it with the autism eyes and infodump about their various other unshared interests to each other. they're so trio tbh

also yeah she is definitely arocoded !!!! i love the aro reyna interpretation so much cuz it's so real but also hmmm................... lesbian reyna is very cool. and bi reyna is funky just cuz i like the idea of her crushing on jason and then meeting thalia and being like wtf BOTH of them??????? and also teehee giggles she'd be so funny in the role of a busy businesswoman who goes to a small town and meets the small town folks and finds she prefers the simple life to her busy business and starts dating like a baker or a lumberjack. she's definitely arocoded but reyna romance has the potential to be silly yk. even if that silliness is just christmas movie cliche.

also YEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH jason and reyna angst my beloved oh my god they go fucking crazy no joke

i did like her joining the hunters tragically. but it'd be cooler if she and leo's things switched like reyna finds calypso and gets her off ogygia (cuz no man can find the island twice but reyna's not a man is she. unless we're going transmasc in which case yk whatever) (and maybe they don't get together also. unless it's like a pjo era calypso and not her modified so leo can have a fighty fiesty girlfriend version cuz reyna would not be good with that version she'd leave caly on the street i promise (but even then yk caly's millenia old yk maybe a bit old for reyna but yk she was on an island mostly alone so maybe that doesn't apply)) and leo finds happiness and love in friends. but yk that would've been like a from hoo thing and i'm not changing two series for a thing that happens at the end of one book yk. and i don't expect rick to think that far ahead.

anyways ty for your asks !!!!!!!!!

hi friend!! your luck of the luck exchange writer here! hope this message finds you well

a few quick questions for you as i start my brainstorming (i did take a peek at the asks from your other fic exchange writer as well! ik im asking some of the same questions but wanna know if some of those answers have changed!)

1. out of your list of players, is there anyone you’re super vibing with at the moment? who are your top 3-5?

2. any preference for oc or reader insert??

3. pronoun preferences?

4. anything for sure you’d like to see? anything for sure you would Not like to see?

5. any songs you’ve been dying to see incorporated in a piece?

this should be good to start us off! hope you’re having a lovely morning / afternoon / night 💚

Hello there!! Lovely to meet you :)

1. I totally forgot to save my player list, so I don’t remember who I put down, I’m sorry! Though I’m always super vibing with any devs player (especially Nico and Jack), Cale Makar, and Jamie Oleksiak. I haven’t done anything with Sidney Crosby lately, but he was my original favorite, so he’s also a great option! If you’re between a few guys, you can always tell me which ones and I can pick one or rank them!

2. I definitely prefer reader insert, but I’ll dabble in OC from time to time, so if you’re more comfortable with OC that’s okay too! But my go-to is reader insert.

3. Any pronouns/gender ID is fine with me! I’m he/they and I’d love to see more masc readers/OCs, so if you’re okay with that it would be wonderful! But I’m not 100% opposed to she/her or fem readers/OCs

4. I for sure need a happy ending honestly. That’s really my one thing I’m 100% on. Even if it’s just a line or two at the end, or a hopeful ending, I need a little happy at the end. Other than that, I don’t have anything particular in mind right now? As for things I don’t want to see, it’s really just anything with pregnancy or children, or cheating. Just not my thing :/

5. Oh man, my favorite band is Sleep Token and I’d love to see something inspired by or incorporating one of their songs! They have so many that would be amazing for fic. Off the top of my head: Drag Me Under, The Love You Want, Fall for Me, Say That You Will

Also this sequence from my liked songs is kind of iconic

Thank you for the questions!! I’m really excited to see what you create 💚

[eros-the-dumbass]

[in Nico's POV] As my foot left the concreat I felt a hard grip on my arm. "NICO!!" I heard a familiar voice scream. I look up to see Percy Jackson. He barely pulled me up and then hugged me on the roof. He was... crying? Over me. Tears steaming through his eyes. He screamed "NICO. WHY IN FVKING TARTERUS WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" I didn't have words. It was everything. "I am a faliure. I barely muttered those words out "Nico. You're not a fvking failure, you're a son of hades. You didn't chose this life, it chose you. I admire you for living this long." "Percy. I'm so fuking tired. This is the only way." Tears streaming down my eyes. "Nico, ik. IK THINGS ARE HARD. I can't put myself in your shoes but we do have the same show brand. We're both fvked up demigods. We didn't want ANY of this." "But you just gotta live with it. Live it out. Be a role model to the younger demigods. Show them we can live longer. Show them we are more than the mold our parents gave us." We walked back to camp. I asked him not to tell Chiron or Mr. D what I did but he refused. Naterually Chiron got VERY upset. He started hugging me and that that (Centar hugs are VERY awkward.) For the next few weeks the camps would be just a bit friendlier to me. I don't think anyone told them, ig it's just a hunch. BONUS!!: Percy told Annabeth who told all the girls in the 7+ reyna, who then told Will and all the boys in the 7. Needless to say the campers who were mean to nico weren't mean for long (NOT MINE!!! the story belongs to @Aiden.png on pintrest, the art isnt mine either)

[schrodingersachillesheel]

*clears throat* okay-

wtf is this discourse bro 💀💀 "go outside and touch grass" yall are arguing over whether or not..fictional crack fanon ships are misogynistic. like this is absolutely a discussion but the issue here is foundational, jegulus and wolfstar may often portray misogynistic and fetishizing behaviors but that is literally the bones of modern fandom culture. to ignore the canon in favor of more creative fan-made interpretations or depictions, you are inherently subjecting these fanworks to criticism regarding the ethics behind it.

if you are going to have this cake (say mlm ships are misogynistic) you need to put the fork down (stop consuming most fan-content)

this may seem like a wild jump to make but ill use a similar fandom that im more familiar with to illustrate this 'slippery slope'

i love the percy jackson fandom! i have grown up on those books. but here's a list of non-canon ships and their criticisms.

percico; usually paints annabeth as biphobic or erases her from the narrative entirely. also ignores that nico explicitly stated that he doesn't like percy. (percy/nico - mlm)

jasico; disregards character dynamics and forces the gay character into a harmful stereotype. (jason/nico - mlm)

jercy(.?); pushes harmful narratives that two men are not allowed to have an emotionally healthy friendship without being gay. (percy/jason - mlm)

pipabeth(??); fetishizes wlw relationships, is often only a companion to an mlm ship, and drags these characters so far out if themselves that they are barely recognizable so they feed into a palatable lesbian dynamic. (piper/annabeth - wlw)

jiper; disregards canon characters and forces piper to be straight. (jason/piper - wlm)

and for gits and shiggles, brason; supports the unhealthy idea that since he didn't "get the girl" he is undeserving of an actual relationship (jason/ a literal brick - ml🧱)

none of these ships are actually bad, in fact, most are handled very nicely even if i dont personally ship it but, they all have massive ethical flaws.

do you see my point here?

and if you're wondering why i care especially since ive stated multiple times that im only really on marauders tumblr bc jegulus is solangelo w better quality fics and i do not know very much abt harry potter...kick.

this is basically a line-for-line bar-for-bar repeat of the klance vs allurance battle of 2018, of which i had to explain to people that every one of the ships for vld is awful and by participating in shipping of any sort you are being willfully ignorant to the unethical/immoral nature of pretty much any ship ever.

so in conclusion, do i give a shit? absolutely fucking not. do i still think that this is the most absurd form of performative activism ive ever seen and possibly thinly veiled homophobia? yeah. and fyi... no one fucking cares, these are fake people who have 0 canon personalities at all, all of them are dead, and the author is a raging transphobe.

take a breath, go outside, and if you truly want to criticize behavior in the marauders, you should probably start with the insane amount of incest- like seriously guys wtf is going on?? like ik my fandoms may not be perfect but i couldve gone my entire life without reading the tag "star crossed brothers" while im looking for a cute little solangelo jegulus fic

im joking (..kind of) but seriously dude, if you don't like something in a fandom, just avoid it. theres no point in tearing people down over fictional injustices. unless a ship is fundamentally immoral (im looking at you mcu starker 👀) it's a futile argument.

i could tell you that jily is a disgusting display of harassment and manipulation in which james refuses to respect lily's wishes and blah blah blah but you dont care, it's nothing jily shippers haven't heard a million times before.

i think that ron and hermione are terrible for eachother because they almost constantly fight and appear to hate one another not to mention that ron is immature and something something it doesn't matter.

i could write an actual proper essay on this if you'd like but i think you get the gist.

pov: marauders fans when you call them out on their thinly veiled misogyny (grow the fuck up maybe) , hidden quite terribly behind the continued fetishisation of mlm relationships (which is also fucking weird seek therapy maybe)

[milflewis]

brocedes + pain :)

akira ik this is you bestie don’t lie. it’s very short but hope you like it !!

“God, the two of you are such a pain,” Toto says, rolling his eyes, lips pressed together in a frown to hide his smile.

Nico laughs, shaking his head, hair blonde, face pale. Somehow even under the shitty office lighting, he still manages to look beautiful. His Mercedes shirt is tight around his arms, loose on his shoulders. If someone pulled down his collar a little they’d find the hickeys Lewis left last night down the centre of his chest. He leans back in his chair, the two front legs in the air, mouth curled on one side, grinning up at Toto.

“Who’s worse?” He’s not looking at Lewis but Lewis feels the needle poke of the challenge anyway.

“It’s definitely you,” Lewis says, completely straight faced, and Bono laughs from across the table when Lewis reaches out a foot and tilts Nico’s chair back far enough that he loses his balance.

“You’re both equal amounts of awful,” Toto scowls. Lewis laughs as Nico throws pens at him that he’s picked up from where he’s sprawled on the floor, propped up on his elbows. Lewis slouches down in his chair, spreading his legs a little. He winks at Toto who pretends not to notice. Nico shifts on the ground in front of him and Lewis bites back a smile.

—

Lewis stares at a point right above Toto’s left eyebrow, eyes fixed on a little wrinkle there. He breathes, feet planted flat on the floor.

“You’re a pain,” Toto says, and Lewis swallows it. “You’re becoming a liability and I will not have it. Do you hear me?”

Lewis nods, says yes, and keeps breathing. His fingers feel numb. He thinks if he doesn’t say anything now, he’ll never talk again. The thought isn’t as horrifying as it probably should be. He’s so full of everything that his body is empty. He doesn’t know what he wants. He knows he doesn’t want to be here.

“This will never happen again. Is that understood?”

Lewis holds his breath and looks Toto in the eyes when he says yes. Nico shifts beside him before agreeing. The Spanish heat still sticks to his skin as his sweat cools, race suit becoming hot and muggy.

How did we get here, Lewis thinks for a moment before putting it away with all the other things he will never say to Nico. Lewis only ever entertained the idea of losing to Nico once, and saying this, he knows, would feel like a win to him.
