NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND || CA, Pt.2

————————————————————————

Part 1

summary: Trying to get over Carlos was going well until you run into him a month later.

pairing: carlos alcaraz x fem!reader

warnings: none :)

a/n: I need a happy ending.

It had been a month since Carlos left you crying in your apartment. You had tried moving on, ridding yourself of any remnant of the tennis player from your apartment.

You bought new sheets, boxed up the hoodies and tennis kit he had left over the months you saw him, hiding away the photos, jewellery, and every gift that made what you two had felt more than just casual.

For the most part, you felt lighter as if the weight and pressure of being Carlos' secret had slid off your shoulders like a warm shower on a winter day. However, every breath of comfort came with a sharp sting of regret.

The night was the worst. The silence that filled your bedroom left only memories of the nights spent together when he promised you the world. You couldn't help but keep an eye on his results. Catching every match he won and focusing even closer on the ones he lost.

You were acutely aware that when your friends planned their trip to California, dragging you with them, you would be just minutes away from Carlos competing at Indian Wells.

As you dressed up in a skirt that was slightly too short, with heels that were slightly too high, the thought of him lurked in the back of your mind. As you met your reflection in the mirror of the hotel bathroom your mind flickered with the images of him.

Your friends called your name snapping the tall Spaniard from your mind as you shot them a smile and left the room.

Arriving at the club was like a breath of fresh air. The music filled your body and in an instant, the tension faded from your body.

"Happy we came out?" your best friend shouted to you over the music,

"very, I needed this." She smiled a wrapped her hand in yours pulling you to the dance floor. You let the stress leave your body as you moved with the beat, laughing with your friends around you.

A tall guy appeared behind you, he was handsome and his hands found a place on your waist as you swayed together. For the first time in both, you didn't see his brown eyes in this stranger, and you relished in the moment.

You smiled at the man and turned to face him. His hands drifted to your face but just as began to lean in, ready to capture your lips with his, you pulled away.

"I'm going to get a drink." The guy smiled but his annoyance at the rejection was clear in his face but you couldn't bring yourself to kiss him.

You pulled yourself to the bar. You fell into the chair and pushed your hair out of your face, making eye contact with the bartender,

"Vodka coke please." the bartender smiled and nodded and moved to make the drink when a Spanish accent came from behind you,

"Two please." Shivers covered your arms, your hair standing up straight at the warm tone of the man you had been desperately avoiding. You kept your eyes focused on the bar as you felt his body move closer to you.

"You ignoring me?" His voice hit your eyes and you finally turned to look at him. Your eyes met his and suddenly the brown eyes you'd spent the last few months running from were watching you.

He smirked at your visible frustration, tense shoulders, and how you suddenly sat up straight. Your eyes narrowed on his appearance, an unbuttoned shirt and dishevelled outgrown hair.

His forehead and chest were glistening a sign that he had also been on the dancefloor. You gave him a cold glare and turned back towards the bar.

Your hair fell in front of your eyes and as you reached up to move it, your hand met his. His gentle touch tucking your hair behind your ear. You could feel the heat from his hand and with every brush of his skin on yours, you felt your heart in your throat.

"Don't." you pushed his hand away, as the bartender placed the drinks in front of you, your hand reaching out and taking the glass, knocking back the drink the burn of the vodka warmed your throat.

His presence still loomed next to you and you waited painfully for him to give up and leave like he did last time.

"Lo lamento." (I'm sorry). You scoffed staring down at your empty glass. You motioned to the bartender for another glass.

"You have nothing to be sorry for Carlos, we were casual, and you ended it. It's fine." He shook his head his eyes still watching your every movement.

The bartender slid you the drink and you nodded to him, getting up from your seat at the bar and turning to face Carlos, "Have a nice night Carlos."

You began walking back in the direction of your friends, ready to head home and wallow in the memories the tall Spaniard had just dredged up.

Just as you were leaving Carlos' vicinity you felt his hand wrap around your wrist. He turned you to face him his hand sliding to your neck, forcing your eyes to meet his. "Can we talk, please?"

His thumb moved softly up and down your neck, an action that reminded you of the nights spent watching cheesy movies on his sofa. Your head in his lap as he traced patterns along your neck.

"Y/N" his voice cut through your memories bringing you back into the moment. You watched his eyes scanning your face for any sign of cracking, and your furrowed eyebrows softened.

"Five minutes." His lips widened into his classic smile. He pulled you away into a secluded corner. The music was muffled in the corner and the lights were dimmed.

Your back was against the wall and Carlos' large statue towered over you. One of his hands rested on the wall behind you and the other settled on your waist. Trapped between him and the wall you had no choice but to meet his eyes.

"no puedo dejar de pensar en ti." (I can't stop thinking about you) You felt a shiver run down your spine. A sharp intake racked through your lungs.

"Carlos-"

"Please, Y/N, let me say this," His hand slid up your side returning to your neck, "I need you to hear this."

His hand held your face delicately, his forehead meeting yours as he closed his eyes and breathed in deeply.

"Fuck, you know how hard it has been to play when all I can think about is you." His hand slid into your hair,

"I thought I could just move on, that this was casual or nothing, that it was forgettable. But you're not forgettable." Carlos' eyes bore into yours.

Your hands settled on his face, the feeling of his unkept stubble rough against your fingers. For a month you'd imagined him turning up at your door and telling you some version of this.

"I can't be a secret anymore Carlos, I can't do it." His hand moved from the wall to your waist, pulling you into him,

"You are so much more than a secret. I never should've treated you that way." He smiled as his nose brushed yours as if giving you a chance to back out before he leaned in closer.

His lips met yours a second later and it was like coming home. Your hands slid behind his head, pulling him into you as he groaned into your mouth.

His hands pulled your hips close to his as you kissed as though you were starved for air and he was oxygen. All the stress and pent-up energy of the last month was felt in the rough kiss.

His hands travelled to your ass lifting you off the ground as you wrapped your legs tightly around his waist, pulling him into you. His lips moved from your lips to your neck, finding the sport that drew light moans from your lips.

At the sound of your moans, Carlos pulled away briefly, a guttural sound coming from him as he pressed his forehead to yours. Both of your chests moved violently up and down, catching your breath.

"Come to my match tomorrow." Your eyebrows furrowed again.

"I'm not going to sit in the stands Carlos." He lightly kissed down your neck.

"I want you," He kissed slowly up to your lips, "sat in my box," he kissed the corners of your mouth, "as my girlfriend."

You grabbed his face pulling him away from where he was leaning in to kiss you. Your heart was racing as you forced him to look at you.

"Are you serious?" Carlos laughed and you hit his chest,

"Ow. you wound me." He captured your lips with his, smiling into the kiss. "This last month made me realise how dumb I've been."

You pecked his lips, with your thumb rubbing his cheek, "So dumb."

You moved to pull him back into a kiss but he stopped you just before your lips met, "Is that a yes?"

"Shut up and kiss me Carlitos." He laughed and let his lips meet yours, the kiss filling your entire being with warmth as your heart thudded in your chest.

Batman '58: The Franchise Loses Its Mind

This is Batman #113. Two years after this comic is published, wee little chaos wizard Grant Morrison will be summoned into in a pentagram carved into a battered pizza in a Glasgow back alley. They will read this comic, lose their goddamn mind, and make it a central pillar of the Batman mythos. God bless.

The silver age of comics can be defined by two trends: a greater emphasis on naturalistic characterization and storytelling leading to the creation of a richer and more rewarding fiction, and ALIEMS. There was an absolute fascination with shoving aliens and robots and weird space monsters into every comic regardless of if they fit the established tone. At the time, aliens weren't too far out from Batman's regular comics, and they still aren't much more outlandish than a guy with a freeze ray or a crocodile man or a dude made out of clay. But those characters can all lean into the tragedy of their existence, which resonates with the tragedy of Batman's existence. Aliens are just wacky guys from space.

This story, "The Super-Batman of Planet X" from Batman #113, is very much on the wacky guys from space end of the spectrum. Batman gets teleported to the planet Zur-En-Arrh where he meets an alien who's been observing his adventures and based his entire life off of him, becoming the Batman of his planet. He called Batman to his planet because their world is being invaded by a hostile planet, and on this planet, Batman would have superman-like powers.

This is a very odd premise, because it separates Batman from his essential Batman qualities. There's already a Batman, so Batman doesn't need to be Batman, Batman needs to be Superman. And within that, there's an interesting story of how Batman acts when he has the powers of Superman, but there's no conflict at play here. Batman just becomes Superman. There are many, many times when Batman is having issues and he thinks "What would Superman do?" The premise of the story seems to be that Batman and Superman aren't narrative foils, they are, effectively, the same person. A Batman with powers is a Superman.

Batman is teleported back to earth at the exact moment he left, with only a tiny bit of alien machinery as proof that it wasn't all just a psychotic break. Nevertheless, Grant Morrison would later write this back into canon as Batman having a psychotic break. The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh is Batman's emergency backup personality he created in case somebody started fucking with his mind. I'm not entirely up on that run yet, I'm going through things in chronological order, so it's going to be a long time, but I like the idea of taking these discarded aspects of the Bat-Canon and revitalizing them.

Speaking of discarded aspects of the Bat-Canon, let's talk about Calendar Man, who was actually kind of amazing. His first appearance, in Detective Comics #259, has him putting out a public notice that he's going to carry out five crimes over five days based on the five seasons. Five seasons? More on that later. The point is that for each crime, he busts out a whole new gimmick and a new set of bespoke supervillain gear. The spring is kinda nothing, the autumn is just a big fan, but the winter has a freeze ray and the summer can burn people to death just from being in the room with them.

Like, my god, where has this guy been? This man is creating an entirely new supervillain persona each day. You could create a new persona every day of the year for this man. I have no idea where he gets his resources or what madness drives him to his holiday crimes but I would love to explore that.

Anyway the fifth season was racism. Moving on.

Okay, for reals, the fifth season is actually monsoon season. I will grant them, this is a pretty clever trick, I would not have guessed it. It does go into a bit of an Adam West direction when Batman and Robin "deduce" that if the fifth season is Monsoon season, then Calendar Man must be this white guy dressed as an Indian, who was also going to be in town for the same five days as Calendar Man. On the other hand, that guy clearly deserves a good punch in the face.

I had a third story I wanted to look at about Bruce Wayne being invited to a costume party and for reasons best left unexamined, the hosts insisted that he come dressed as Batman. I thought there would be some good comedy from Bruce Wayne, incompetent rich fop, having to bumble around acting like a total moron and "accidentally" taking out the baddies, but there was barely anything. Instead, I want to comment about this PSA in the same issue, which is the gayest thing I've ever seen.

Like, my god. Bob and Jerry are absolutely husbands. They have the relationship I want. This is a PSA in a Batman comic, a comic that was so shockingly homoerotic that a child psychologist wrote a book about it that led to a congressional inquest and the creation of a censorship bureau! This page is gayer than anything else I saw in a comic about an unmarried man and his unrelated child who sleep in the same bedroom and wear tights.

This just goes to show that the manosphere has always existed, and it has always been a joke. Men have always been incredibly lonely, and any attempt to extol wholesome, manly values in young boys has always come out as deeper in the closet than Monsters, Inc. Men, if you're lonely, just find a real close friend and have hot straight gay sex with him. Remember, it's not proper gay unless future historians think you were platonic best friends.

Coming up, we take another look at Superman, where they unscrew the lore pipeline and let it flow. Until next time!

TTEOTM Easter Eggs Part 3 - Costume and Makeup Details

I love beautiful costumes, but even more when they tell a story! Here are a few of my observations. Did you spot anything else? (Spoilers!)

(1) The two outfits Ye Xiwu gifted Tantai Jin are both quilted. The purple costume is particularly unusual in that it's constructed like a blanket. In contrast, all his clothing in the hostage prince arc are not quite thick enough for Sheng kingdom's harsh winters. Ye Xiwu is literally bringing warmth to his life.

(2) TTJ and YXW wear similar costumes in their two love scenes - (1) Ep 2 - YXW's imagination of the drugged affair which led to their marriage and (2) Ep 39, where they finally consummated their marriage on screen. YXW wears the same pink costume. TTJ in different but identical-looking mustard yellow costumes.

(3) Some viewers have criticized Ye Xiwu for not taking off hair accessories before going to bed, chalking it up to lazy filmmaking. This is not necessarily the case. In ancient China, upper class women did sleep with their hair-do and manage to keep elaborate designs in tack. How? By resting her neck, not her head, on the pillow.

Ye Xiwu / Li Susu does go without hair accessories in a few occasions: when she is traveling, ill, depressed, and in mourning. It is most likely a creative choice to create a contrast between moments where her character is in control and powerful vs. vulnerable.

(4) All of Tantai Jin's female lieutenants wear red, from Pianran (after she starts working for him) to Siying and Monu. In fact, so does Tantai Minglang's lieutenant Fuyu. Red appears to be the career woman's color in this world!

(5) After Mingye falls in love with Sangjiu, he adds the red waist scarf belt that's part of his wedding dress on top of his normally blue outfit.

(6) The costume that Cang Jiumin (left) wears when refining the Dragonheart Shield echoes Mingye's costume (right) through the red/blue colors and collar design, reinforcing the connection between the two characters.

(7) The costumes in Bo're dream hint at the characters' true forms:

Mingye (dragon): dragonscale armour & patterned clothing

Sangjiu & Sangyou (clams): pearls & shell motifs

Tianhuan (snake): gold serpent hair crown & bracelets

(8) Throughout the drama, only characters in the Upper Immortal Realm go full Dunhuang Feitian style, characterized by bandeaus, scarves, layers of drapery, sleeveless (similar to Indian clothing).

The style is used in formal occasions or to confer power or godliness. For example, Sangjiu goes Dunhuang with sleeveless draping outfits at her wedding and after she goes dark.

Similarly, when Susu and Tantai Jin become gods at the finale, they also take on a new Dunhuang-style outfit. In fact, the multi-color drapery of Tantai Jin's outfit seem to be an amalgamation of the fabric used in the twelve gods' outfits.

(9) Members of the Moon Tribe all wear long wavy hair, chunky metal and coin ornaments, and hair braiding.

Tantai Jin follows the dress code when he stays with the Moon Tribe before entering the spiritual dimension.

Guess who also loves his wavy hair, metallic accessories, and leather? Of course it's the Ancient Devil God, again reminding viewers of his connection to the tribe.

Bonus: Luo Yunxi mentioned in an interview that his characters (hostage prince, emperor, Mingye, Devil Gods) all have different hairpieces/wigs. He had to take off and reglue his hair between scenes.

Since its valentines, do you have any headcanons about what they do (or don’t) ?

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone — I hope it's been a good one!

So, realistically, Ani's working on Valentine's Day. I'm not an expert on the busiest days of the year for lap dance clubs, but I'm assuming they include most major holidays, in particular one where single guys might go out in order to not have to think about the fact that they're still single.

But maybe Ani and Igor hang out earlier that day, before she goes to work. They think about doing something a little special, a little different, so it could involve going into the city for part of the afternoon, walking through part of Central Park or the High Line — or anywhere else that has the benefit of being either cheap or completely free. (Ani refuses to go to Times Square or Rockefeller Center, though; as a native New Yorker, she can't stand all the gobs of tourists.) Neither of them has a lot of money to spend on gifts, but I can see Igor going for a small piece of jewelry — like a little butterfly charm on a delicate chain necklace — and Ani racking her brain to try to figure out what he might actually need or want and finally deciding on a thick wool beanie (black, of course) to keep his shaved head warm for the rest of the winter.

No candlelit dinners, but maybe they go for some cheap Thai or Indian before he drops her off at HQ for the night. But Igor's a closet romantic, so he goes to the nearest bodega and buys a couple plastic sleeves of roses and tulips to combine into a fairly nice (although not florist-grade) bouquet that he leaves for her with one of the security guys at the front door of the club. When she sees it in the dressing room during her first break, sitting on the counter in a pint glass serving as a makeshift vase, she smiles big and wide, and she doesn't really stop for the rest of the night.

[shadowqueenjude]

about the dawn court people being east Asia inspired - feyre says something when she sees Nuan at the high lord meeting about how Amren must have chosen a fae form similar to Nuan's bloodline. If Amren is east-asian coded, so is Nuan and thesan too, having at least one parent hailing from xian (am i reading too far into xian sounding so stereotypical, maybe, do i care rn, no). they also say that a majority of the dawn court hails from xian. thesan is supposed to have brown skin (again, please give a better descriptor) so he's mixed.

no one's clothes or architecture reflects anything concrete regarding their inspiration and its such a hodge podge it's so painful to try to discern where the differentiation between courts are. Spring court - because of the name tamlin correlates to a myth about a guy named tam lin who is kind of being held captive by the queen of faeries who needs to be rescued by his mortal lover that he met like suuuper recently, I'm placing the spring court in a place that reflects a medieval scotland. clothes are fairly accurate not in detail but in the sense of material and idk just general existence (women wear dress, man wear breeches, idk) I love that! so simple! Everything makes sense! So then why in dawn are we having technological advances in a steampunk sort of way and similar "old fashioned" clothes to spring, but then in the night court (velaris, the other's i think are fairly period accurate), there are all these advancements in fashion like leggings and pullover sweaters and whatever else she's wearing in the last two books, yet they have the same tech as everyone else barring dawn. (Doing a small pass on the bodysuit armor things because I'm just assuming that's people's artistic interpretations of her visions)

ALSO, how are they self sufficient if they're a closed off city? They aren't harboring secret technology that helps their city run, they are one city and also A CITY so like, no resources, no agriculture. who tf are they getting their things from if they are an invisible city that no one knows about? same thing with how they're getting trades that they wouldn't have been able to make themselves. Also, at this point I would like to propose the idea of wing armor. you have siphons which can idk make shields. HAVE YOU TRIED SHIELDING YOU'RE VERY SENSITIVE AND MASSIVELY TARGETED WINGS FROM DANGER?? in conclusion I'm tired and also a fashion/history nerd, okay bye

Ahhhh yes I see what you mean about Dawn now! Yeah, I always imagine Spring to be like medieval Scotland, and I'm guessing Autumn is medieval England? Rhysand is a Welsh name I believe, so Night is supposed to be Wales??? But the Illyrians are also supposedly POC and there's some evidence of Indian influence there too (barf, night is NOT indian at all), so I'm stuck on that one. Dawn is East Asian while Day is...Middle Eastern? Winter maybe Norway or some Scandinavian country? And Summer I'm assuming is supposed to be from some place in Africa, but it's all very vague. Also more points about Velaris: how is their fashion sense so...modern? Since everything is so closed off...shouldn't their fashion be stuck in the 1600s or whenever they closed their borders? Why don't they open their borders to Dawn since they're sooooo close to the Solar courts supposedly??? Has it not occurred to them that Nuan, who made Lucien's metal eye, could also construct new wings for the Illyrian ladies who got theirs cut off? Or do they just not care? They don't but SJM is trying to convince us they do.

Yeah how in the flying fuck is Night surviving on no industry whatsoever? No trade? No agriculture, nada? Because we have no evidence of the Illyrians producing anything either, besides "warriors." My explanation for this is kind of inspired by @kateprincessofbluewhales 's headcanon, but what if the Illyrians are like mercenaries? They're hired to fight for other courts and in exchange they receive all of their necessities and more which the Illyrians then send back home to their wives and children. This still doesn't explain how Velaris operates, but I'm sure Rhysand crutches on the Illyrians' profits to keep shit going and that's part of why they resent him. I'VE BEEN SAYING IT FOR AGES. WINGS ARE SUCH A VULNERABILITY. THEY MAKE YOU SUCH AN EASY TARGET. WHY IS THERE NO WING ARMOR??? THAT WOULD BE SO COOL TOO. BUT NO, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO JUST ACCEPT THERE'S NOTHING COOL ABOUT THE WINGS AT ALL AND MOVE ON.

DIY KAYA STUFF

*Note since Kaya is part of the Nimiipuu tribe (Nez Perce) her collection (especially her clothes) have very specific things that would belong to her tribe/culture. I have tried my best to find things that would fit her collection, not just generic Native American things, that look like they were from party city so she might have less stuff (like clothes and stuff). I have tried my best to find DIYS and patterns with tips on making them more accurate (some of them would have absolutely no connection to Kaya if originally done their way. I am not part of the Nimiipuu tribe, and I mean absolutely no disrespect towards them, if anything I’ve included is not accurate or if anyone has any critiques, please tell me so I can fix it ASAP. Also, the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 makes it illegal for someone to sell something, suggesting it was made by Native Americans or specific tribes if they are not part of that culture
