#it doesn't work not really just makes it worse cus now he has to try to control his breathing and cry and he's just a mess

[gatorbites-imagines]

I know I'm a freak. I know 😔. BUT hear me out PLEASE🙏

Powerful superhero male reader right? But he's an omega, and he doesn't know it. So like, when he first goes into heat he's confused, hormonal, territorial, and angry. Just generally aggressive. And Mark has kinda corraled him away from the city so he doesn't destroy it any further.

Like, imagine this naked angry man dripping all types of fluid that you already had a crush on is glaring at you like you're his next meal.

Next thing Mark knows he's on the floor being torn up by bites and being ridden till he can't even think. Crying a snotting cus he really can't take it anymore.

- the freakiest

Mark Grayson x Homelander!male reader 

I went on a bit of a tangent soooo,,,, more under the cut 

I had like... Homelander!Reader in my head for this, except hes like, stronger than normal Homelander and able to keep up with viltrumites. The GDA or government seem like the kinda people to grow a whole person to keep as a weapon. And it all worked out, in the beginning, when you were a young child or teen trying to please the adults in your life. 

Maybe you're on a more... normal overpowered level, so the suppressors the government and GDA pumps you full of work perfectly, even when you start becoming more unstable and show less regard for life and humanity, outside of need for fame and attention. 

Homelander!Reader would hate Mark when he first shows up. Hed have hated Nolan too, but with Mark it's even worse cuz Nolan has been around for so long, and here Mark is showing up. Homelander!Reader does his whole, very fake acting, it's so obvious he wishes Mark would explode on the spot. 

Perhaps Homelander!Reader grows stronger with age, which starts making the GDA and government antsy, because he's becoming harder to control. And they are finally realizing, that huh, raising a child in a lab with no family or contact, kinda makes an unstable and unpredictable killing machine. 

It also means Readers body is growing stronger and resistant, and it ends up with him burning through the suppressors, probably during a fight with Mark. The suppressors would have been slowly wearing off with time, making Homelander!Reader even more unstable and snappy, until his full-blown heat comes through. 

His scent would be questionable at best, not very omega in flavor. All those years of straight up torture under the GDA and government will do that, along with all the killing and hate in his body. Its sour, metallic like blood and gore, but also too sweet, like artificial candy, the kind that makes you dizzy from how strong it is, but it makes Mark salivate. 

At least Homelander!Reader is easy to corral because he's so angry and controlled by his secondary gender and biology, stuff he's never felt before. Mark, being a genius, would try to use his scent to calm the very powerful feral omega down, only works to mark Homelander!Reader start drooling and frothing at the mouth. 

All that hate Homelander!Reader has leads to the wildest hate- and lust fueled heat. Reader obviously doesn't have a nest, and doesn't even have an apartment that's his own, so the two end up holing up in some hole somewhere, far away from everything. 

Mark would think he just needs to calm Homelander!Reader down, until he starts huffing Marks scent and rubbing on him. And Mark? Well, he's a freak by nature you know, so Reader staring down at him with glowing red eyes and gushing slick? Mark would never have survived. 

Poor Mark assuming he can keep up with Homelander!Reader cuz he's a viltrumite, only for Mark to be sucked dry like a caprisun, panting and seeing double from dehydration. Mark ends up with scratches and bites all over his body, unlike Reader who doesn't bruise. Only reason Reader doesn't mark our dear Mark is because he's just too obsessed with his knot to do so, and cuz he's never really thought about it. 

Now I got the mental image of Mark trying to cover himself cuz his knot just aches from being used so many times, and Homelander!Reader, still halfway feral, feels bad, like instinctively. So, he shuffles down and does his best attempt at an omega purr, something that sounds kinda like rocks in a tumbler because he's never purred before. And as he purrs Reader nuzzles and kisses Marks knot and stomach. 

Something about this feral rut/heat makes them realize feelings, and the relationship wouldn't be perfect in the beginning, probably wouldn't for a long time, but they get better with time. 

Reader is the worst omega in the world, even after his heat passes. Hes selfish, mean, still could not give a shit about those he sees as beneath him, but... he likes Mark now. Mark scents him and nibbles on his scent gland when they're alone. His teeth can't actually pierce it (Yet, emperor Mark could, trust), but it always gets that choppy ugly purr going. 

Imagine Homelander!Reader trying to nest and it's like a pigeon nest... its so ugly and uncomfortable, but Mark is supportive. Like, he will lay in the pile of hay, knitting needles and tarps and be all “omg babeee, such a pretty nest, thank youuu”, even if hes laying on the floor. It makes him chuff when Homelander!Reader lets out his own little shy omega noises at the praise. 

[so-i-did-this-thing]

do you ever stop being scared of getting misgendered? this morning i went to a fun little grad party that my old school was throwing and it made me feel so terrified, cus i started transitioning after i left. i was so scared someone was gonna recognize me as the weird little girl no one liked so i didnt talk to anyone and honestly it was super lonely

Misgendering is unfortunately going to be one of those things you will need to learn to face. Let me tell you about some of my experiences.

I transitioned very publicly (the music world is very small) and the deliberate misgendering and "jokes" just made it clear who I would and would not go to bat for. Very important as someone who frequently put his job on the line to make sure people got paid fairly. One of the worst offenders was an orchestra owner I assembled a group suit against for non-payment, and by the end, he was terrified of me. I'm sure he still makes "jokes", but he also doesn't live in his fancy house anymore after all his payouts.

Being treated as a curiosity is going to happen. Even among "allies," you are going to get rude questions, accidental misgendering, and those lingering looks where people try to figure out what you look like naked, or how you did before HRT. You need to hold your head high and establish firm boundaries on inappropriate questions. This is hard to navigate, as you'll be spending a lot of emotional labor assuring some folks that they are not bad people, as they whine it's "so hard" to get your pronouns right. It's up to you to decide how much effort is worth it, and you can only really educate those who come to you in good faith.

What's worse, imo, is the misgendering that feels like a betrayal. In-laws who previously thought I was cis immediately started misgendering me when they learned I was trans. We are cordial now, over 10 years later, but that relationship is probably irrevocably damaged because they never apologized and furthermore, acted like a victim when confronted with their transphobia. But I treat it as their loss, not mine. I do a lot for my family, including the jobs no one else wants to do (mainly revolving around taking care of the dead & dying), but my sense of family obligation nonetheless has limits.

I also had a very, very long-time friend misgender me with growing frequency as he fell down the alt-right pipeline. I ended up abruptly cutting him out of my life, with the reminder to myself that a childhood based on proximity + pop culture things we both enjoyed is not necessarily a true friendship -- if we had met as adults, I would have instantly hated him.

So, misgendering is a scale, and I'd recommend you reflect upon the forms it can take, and how you'll respond. It's very, very important that there be penalties for it, from a stern talking-to to going no-contact.

But I will be honest -- I am openly trans partly out of defiance. I enjoy the cognitive dissonance people experience, especially when I end up being bigger (it does happen), better looking, more confident, and more successful than the naysayers think I should be.

And among allies, I enjoy when folks can compare the angry, shy, weird little girl they knew before to the calm, confident, yet still weird middle-aged man they still know, and acknowledge what I've overcome to thrive. I worked my butt off to get to where I am and am proud to have that recognized.

Ultimately, you likely need to reconcile how you feel about that weird little girl no one liked. Clearly, she was incredibly strong, if you're here today. Embrace and celebrate that part of yourself, especially for being a survivor. It makes it all the more difficult then, for anyone to weaponize who you used to be.

Kon finding Damian annoying bc why does someone with such a bratty attitude have to be so pretty (just Kon and his one-sided beef with Damian)

(context: Damian having to sub in for Tim for yj)

Kon: Listen, just because you have a pretty face doesn't mean I'm gonna let you boss me around

Damian: Really? Cus it seems to work for my brother

Kon: Yeah well... The people here actually like your brother

---

Kon: Look there are three reasons I'm not throwing hands with you right now, 1. Pretty sure your brothers would try to kill me, 2. Pretty should Jon would also try to kill me, and 3. Your face is the only thing I find tolerable about you

Damian, absolutely unfazed and could honestly care less:

---

Kon: You know, you're so nice to look at but then you open your mouth and it just ruins everything

Damian: Well it's nice knowing that I have that much power to at least make your day worse

Kon:

---

Cassie: You ever noticed how much Damian looks like his mom

Kon: Yup... all the more reason to be wary of him

Cassie, looking over Kon just wondering why he has so much one-sided beef with his younger brother's boyfriend

---

Damian undressing in the young justice looker room showing off a slight frame with lithe and lean muscle

Kon, visibly annoyed because it's not enough for the guy to be pretty in the face but in body too: Jon needs to come and get his damn twink out of here...

Bart: You say that like you don't have one yourself

Kon: Yeah! Well like I said before people actually like mine!

---

*bonus*

Kon, absolutely spent from the week he had to spend with Damian as his leader: Jon... I want you to know that there are pretty people out there that also have a nice personality

Jon: Dami can be nice, he's like a cat, takes him a while to warm up to you

Kon: Well If that's the case then I respect you for your efforts cus I'm definitely not a cat person

[i-just-wanna-write-fanfic]

Hey there. Do you still take requests. Can I get a yandere Pete DiNunzio x reader? But I want it with the yandere alphabet

HELL YEAH!!

YAN!PETE DINUNZIO X READER

Lets go! I love yandere requests! cw: f-slur used once or twice

Affection: How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?

He could be pretty physically affectionate, but most of the time it reads as sexual. He's not very needy or smother-y, but he can be annoying when he wants it.

Blood: How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?

Not at first; a rough fight here, broken limb there, but after sometime he's willing to get bit more bloody

Cruelty: How would they treat their darling once abducted? Would they mock them?

A little bit, but it's just light teasing. He does somewhat want you to like him. He'll mostly treat you like a room mate(that he's keeping prisoner), just a bit more affectionate.

Darling: Aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darling’s will?

Likely touch you, but if we're talking epilogue Pete it could get worse.

I'm not writing that, use your imagination.

Exposed: How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?

Little to none. You'll only get scraps if you beg and prod reallllllyyyy hard.

Fight: How would they feel if their darling fought back?

Annoyed. Miffed. But overall doesn't care. He saw this coming, and he's more prepared than he thought he'd be for it.

Game: Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape?

A little bit, he enjoys seeing it that way but does often take it seriously.

Hell: What would be their darling’s worst experience with them?

Possibly the kidnapping. Or if you're unfortunate lucky, when he'd kill your best friend because you guys were acting 'all faggy', or whatever he said. You kinda zoned out..

Ideals: What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?

He's not really thinking future, just wants making him happy in the now. If asked, he'd just shrug and tell you that's a dumb question.

Jealousy: Do they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope?

Sure he does! Mostly takes it out on others, but over time, he'll eventually start taking it out on you.. he'll apologize most of the time, but sometimes he can't bring himself to do it..

Kisses: How do they act around or with their darling?

He's surprisingly chill, a little affectionate, but overall it's much better from how he is without you

Love letters: How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?

He'll try and ask you out, but no matter if it fails or works, you're not waking up in your own bed tomorrow morning. Whatever happened the day before decides where you are and how you're treated.

Mask: Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?

Not really, but if he already has you or is pinning after you, then he's much snappier around others, more uninterested. He seems more absentminded, but he's a lot more calm and focused when he's with you (and when you're behaving how he wants).

Naughty: How would they punish their darling?

The first few times he might hit you or something, but sometimes it just isn't enough.

At a certain point, he can't just let you walk around like you own the place. Or at all. Especially if it's come to this point.

Oppression: How many rights would they take away from their darling?

As many as he can! It's his world babe, and you're just living in it!

Patience: How patient are they with their darling?

He can be pretty patient at times, but don't expect it often.

Quit: If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?

Hell no! He's going to find you. You can't run forever!

Regret: Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let their darling go?

No. He doesn't really give a fuck.

Stigma: What brought about this side of them (childhood, curiosity, etc)?

Jeez, that's a bit of a soft spot.

(cough cough his dad cough cough)

Tears: How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?

Mildly annoyed. He knows you'll let up eventually.

Unique: Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?

He's more uncaring, crude, and violent. Even if he does love you, he's gotta be tough sometimes.

Vice: What weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape?

Depends; If it's younger Pete, likely family issues, school, or club stuff. If it's epilogue Pete, you can try and leave while he's at work.

Wit’s end: Would they ever hurt their darling?

Yeah. Sometimes a slap on the wrist or a tough talking-to doesn't get the point across.

Xoanon: How much would they revere or worship their darling? To what length would they go to win their darling over?

Hell no! Jeez, he's no fag!

Yearn: How long do they pine after their darling before they snap?

Around a month or two. He's not very good at holding himself back from you, not like he was even trying in the first place.

Zenith: Would they ever break their darling?

Oh, 100%. He feels a bit bad at first, but doesn't after a little while. No one said he'd be nice!

Neuvillette comes off as so charming and subtly manipulative, i think it’s a guarantee that he would win over any in-laws easily.

Imagine Neuvillette slowly developing an obsession with you, but instead of framing you or approaching you directly, he has a few ‘run ins’ with your parents. Helping them with issues that suddenly weren’t there in the past, financial problems, a waning reputation made worse by certain rumors. He really does present himself as the perfect son-in-law. He makes your entire family reliant on him so when the time comes you’ll have no choice but to accept him with the eager approval of everybody around you and the financial pressure building up.

OMG OMG OMGG THIS IS SO TRUE LISTEN.

Imagine you first meet this man in like a vegetable or fruits market (doesn't matter if it is modern au or not) and YOU HATE HIS ASS cus you have been looking at those oranges and apples for hours now and want the best ones and when you come neuvillette is there at the same time AND HE JUST CONVENIENTLY WANTS THOSE.

Que you arguing with him without knowing who he even is and since you had a bad day at work you make it everyone's problem. Then he starts trying to seek you out and ??? Your boss has been put in jail over tax evasion?? Odd but good for you. Wait your division is being relocated? WHY IS THE FRUIT THIEF YOUR NEW BOSS??

Neuvillette tries to get on your good side but it often fails so he changes his tactic to inserting himself in your circles without you knowing. Your parents happen to adore the man they met at the opera last time and wow ..well, well, well, wont you look at him IN YOUR DOORWAY WITH ORANGES AS ONE OF THE THINGS HE BROUGHT TO DINNER. If he touches your elbow with his one more time you will stab his hand or so Lord help you.

Except he will eventually make your entire family rely on him and ask that you become his spouse as a trade off. It seems fair you see. And then when you live in his villa he brings you those oranges all the time that you begin to hate them and try to hit him with their peels when he isnt looking to sustain your sanity.

Heartkillers ep 10 uncohesive stray thoughts

With screenshots cuz I take to many and I'll feel like that's wasteful if I don't at least use them for a post

God, this scene reeks of codependency. But like in a good way, yknow. In an evidence of love way. They just don't want to be apart because they care. And I guess cuz they're scared they won't see each other again.

I love Fadel and his consistent morals. He'd been silent, letting Bison get his anger and revenge, cus that is not his main thing, but as soon as he hears any word of deciet or lies, he's right on his feet getting involved.

Yeah that checks.

I have to wonder, tho, if Lilly is a poisoner, why were Fadel and Bisons' parents shot? And why would she train them with a gun instead of the weapon she know best?

That's not the unbelievable part dear. She seems very capable of all that. Look at what she made you do

Acting like some housewives worrying about their husbands away at war or some shit.

Imma be real with you. I wasn't paying attention for a bit, and I read this as "Why don't you try and top Fadel?" and I got a little hopeful for a bit.

We've got a comeback from the -two rings on one finger, no other jewelry- look from style. Love this energy.

For anyone wondering, the first time we saw this was in episode 6 when he was out drinking with Kant, so it might just be what he wears when he goes to get drunk with his buddy. Guess there aren't too many occasions for a mechanic to wear a mid finger index ring. It tends to get in the way a lot when moving (like manual labor). And if you dont wear a ring often, choosing to wear no other jewelry to make your specialty ring pop makes a lot of sense.

Sorry, I looked too deeply into that.

Lillys actress is so stunning. The discomfort and distaste on her face is so subtle but to perfect.

Oh, drama, Keen already knows about (one of) their lovers and tried to kill him. I wonder why he used a gun, tho. The only flashback/scene we saw of them pre assassin, while training, was to show that Keen was a worse shot than Bison and Fadel. Did he improve or was the reason he missed (only hitting styles arm, not killing him) because he still has bad aim.

Also, could the tattoo be Kants' work? It kinda reminds me of his spiderweb arm tatoo, but that doesn't mean its his style (he might not have done his arm one himself), so who knows, maybe they know each other, maybe they don't.

Fucking romantic loser, holy shit. He couldn't see gay people without thinking of his boyfriend

That's not something to be fucking proud of cassie

Nr. 1 god his hair looks fucking good like this

Nr. 2 Mister poetry over here, annoying piece of shit with his lovey dovey words

Ofc Style would instigate a cheer, like this is a cheersquad and not a murder operation

I really need him to stop mentioning it all the time, like he is proud of it or something

Oh, uniform kink. Interesting

Okay, I kinda feel bad for Keen now. Nobody seems to care about him (except Thanon ig, I hope nothing bad happens to him). Lilly didn't even care enough to use him.

Also, jesus Fadel, you're brothers. You've never put in even an hour of effort to ask about his day or some shit, rude. (I get that they are all just a product of Lillys creation but but this seems a lil excessive)

With the tattoos. That is quite a bold plan. There is like a 50/50 change they (rich ladies) are put off by the tattoos. Guess some might see it as an adventure and be into it. It's still a gamble.

Also like how does he know golfing, tho? Had he golfed before, or is Kant just good at improvising, because he looked quite knowledgable.

The way he has lowered himself to look up at her through his lashes, the fucking bitch. Once again using First height for storytelling. This time, Kant has lowered himself to make Lilly feel like she is above him and in control.

Idk if she is open-minded or if she could just smell the gay on him.

Ahw, he cares. Does he expect Keen to do that, tho? Like Fadel knows that he already tried to kill Style and has shot him. He doesn't seem likely to suddenly care about the wishes of his brother, who doesn't even care about him.

Not too sure what it means but i just noticed that Fadel has his whole head and neck angled up while Styles face is pointed to the front and he is just looking up with his eyes, through his eyelashes.

Maybe it's to show that Fadel is more confrontational while Style is more scared of Keen.

Oh, calling his bluff, cute. I dont remember if Fadel backed down when Bison pointed his gun at Style but if he did (i think so) that contrast shows very well how succesfull Lilly has been in driving them apart by making them all think Keen is less capable (mostly because she just didnt let him train)

Ofcourse he has to brag, has to lay out his success (he could have kept it to himself to use it for longer, but whatever, guess he expects to take him out right here, right now). Because Keen doesn't actually have any negative feelings towards Fadel (except maybe jealousy), he mostly just wants to prove himself to be capable. Even though he is holding the gun, it is Lilly who has her finger on the trigger. Without her constant critique, he would have felt the need to do all this. It's really her words that are driving Keen to do this, not Fadel (and Bisons) actions.

Yeah, and i feel like Keen should know that. Doesnt he know about her killing Fadels boyfriend, and he knows she wants Style dead as well, he has all the evidence he needs to see that Fadel and Bison dont have any more freedom or happiness than he does, just more tasks.

The continual cutting to Style while they talk about Fadels ex probably has to tell us something, but i honeslty can't read that much off his face. Is he jealous?

You're telling me Fadel couldn't figure that out himself. Even if he didn't think about it too much then (too sad or something), now with this new info he has about her, it shouldn't come as that much of a shock. She killed your parents and is trying to kill your boyfriend. It is not odd to think this patern is connected.

The desparation in both his eyes, his words, and his voice; it's fucking heartbreaking

Squished Fadel, perfection

Styles speech was a lil akward, but he got his point across and he has never really been a poet before. The honesty, although clunky, makes it seem more vulnerable and true, more like Style

Fav scenes

Fadel and Bisons emotional breakdown in the abandoned building. Omg the feelings..

Kant golfing was very cute.

Kant and Bison in the empty pool. Shit was stunning.

Fadel and Styles last scene. Maybe I just like Fadel crying and strong emotions.

For anyone wondering about my statistics, I took a total of 180 screenshots. 81 of Fadel and or Style, 58 of Kant and or Bison, 10 of Keen, 8 of Bison and Fadel together, 7 of Reurat, 5 of Lilly, 5 of more than two characters in a shot, 3 of Kant and Style together, 2 of Lilly and Keen together, and 1 of Babe

the fact sakura and sasuke don’t deserve each other at all…he clearly don’t care abt her, neglected her and sarada for years, sakura…

She makes no effort on trying to understand him, breaches his boundaries, doesn’t give any proper attention to his rejections, so sasuke centric that her goal was to be with sasuke and not a real goal that sasuke and Naruto had, break off her friendship bc of him, changes her personality around him to get him to like her, put other girls down(ino) and wanted sai to insult ino, sticking her self onto a picture over Karin, and even so Sarada reaction to ino shows that sakura never grew past her childish behavior literally when ino has a whole husband, and child

But what makes 0 sense is how sakura does the same to sarada and even thought of it as a romantic gesture when it came to sasuke , it shows sakura doesn’t even know sasuke that well to even know the actual meaning of it as a distance gesture, it’s like sakura is happy cus she had a child + gotten married with the guy that who was difficult to get with, so I feel like sarada is a extension to that to show off, and I can def tell that

SAKURA IS INSECURE AS EVER AS AN ADULT IN NARUTO GAIDEN! …we could tell by sarada reaction to ino that sakura at least talked light negative about ino to sarada cus she still see ino as a threat even when she’s married and have a son with sai…Karin…she don’t acknowledge her and it’s at least proved that sakura was prob chasing sasuke during, didn’t want to leave his side and prob didn’t want Karin near sasuke!

It’s obvi that he didn’t care abt her b4 she had sarada and now after!…he don’t even care if she lives or dies that’s how messed up it is. It’s so forced and I’m wondering how in the world did he have gotten sakura pregnant with sarada but they never kissed tho?! OKAY!

Exactly the ship was never going to work, Sasuke wasn't ready for a relationship, but also Sakura can't give him what he needs. I feel Sasuke would have been better off with Karin or even a civilian then Sakura with how things turned out in canon. Sasuke needs to experience normal which is not how things are with SasuSaku.

As you said Sakura never truly understood him and is simply fine as long as she has him. She never grew out of his childish phase, sure she got Sasuke, but its obvious she pretty much forced herself on him and he gave in likely out of guilt of how he treated her during his worse phase. She even hide Taka and Karin's entire existence from Sarada and that alone is Sakura purposely keeping Sarada from knowing her father.

Sakura using the finger tap without understanding what it meant to Sasuke like that shows she really doesn't understand the meaning and is just happy Sasuke did that for her.

Honestly wish Kishimoto was brave enough to go down the clone route or that Karin is the real mother. Cause as you said its a wonder how Sakura got pregnant not to mention the inconstancies with her birthday if Sarada wasn't born prematurely its impossible for Sakura to have had her. While if she was born prematurely it shows how bad Sakura was that she risked the baby by choosing to keep chasing Sasuke rather then return to the village or rest to ensure the baby is born safely. Wouldn't surprise me if the reason Sarada ended up needing glasses is related to birth complications.

Trying to work a CBT analyst of Blitz core beliefs, the helpful and unhelpful one he's got.

(Slow going cus I'm always slow at this stuff lol).

But I really hoping more episodes show Blitz tangible examples, and evidence that he doesn't in fact make everyone's lives worse; to shift that idea out of his head.

Cash Buckzo has a lot to answer for... Grrr

In theory still wanting to do a part 2 to the BPD one, but kinda stuffing knocked out of me a bit someone over it. So now it's just a much less fun project.

Any way felt like sharing the pics; because think it's sad that he can't see how much good he puts into the world, because of one mistake.

Ryker everytime he sees a dog. Freezes and stands on tippy toes, or does the hunch stare if they are walking closer.

Ryker is the most difficult dog I have owned when it comes to his struggles with disengaging from other dogs. He doesn't bark, only sometimes whines, pulls or lunges. yet he just freezes and has a hard time breaking the stare.

Not the most difficult dog I have worked with, but for a dog with higher food drive. It's interesting (and I'll admit frustrating) how much he struggles with this and spent so many months of no improvement. I've had dogs with a lot lower food drive improve quicker than he has.

He has improved a lot recently, so it makes me look back to see the progress. He went through a phase where he couldn't eat food and would stare for 15+ minutes after where the dog disappeared. Rapidly spinning around, knocking my knees out from underneath me, walking into walls and off ledges to keep staring.

Now he is able to spot a dog and immediately disengage if cued. The automatic disengage is still very hard for him to pass other dogs. He can do it if it is obvious we are not going to pass by with close proximity. He can handle being off leash around other dogs without going up to them as long as they are not within 15 feet and moving straight towards him, then he will break.

Yet passing dogs on a sidewalk is still very hard for him to break the stare. I've shifted into a magnet hand instead of trying to get a disengage because he just can't right now. Over the past few weeks he has gotten really good at magnet hand and can now stay on it while passing close by another dog. Still cannot handle being left to his own choices.

I think it's wild how he is as a dog interacting with other dogs (can play or be neutral depending on what the other dog wants). He has fantastic social skills off leash, better than Aayla for sure. Yet on a leash the frustration and teenage arousal issues come on full force, worse than Aayla ever was. Aayla was walking through a massive grooming competition and trade show at 9 months old and sitting at breweries from 6 months on. I have not dared with Ryker. Dog shows where he is constantly surrounded by other dogs, he is great. But in a crowded place where he might see an occasional dog? He can't handle it.

A lot of this is just teenage intact boy issues. I know that but I've just been surprised how slowly he has taken to training and habitualizing being around dogs he can't interact with. I've seen so many client dogs in inexperienced hands improve faster than he has. Dogs with higher anxiety or arousal issues than Ryker take to training faster.

I've struggled with my pride and ego with this. I know that is a component. It just comes down to that Ryker is a difficult dog in many ways. I was prepared for difficult but not in the ways he has presented in.

The past two weeks have been such a breath of fresh air. He is definitely hitting some maturity and his confidence has boomed. His ability to handle being around dogs has finally started improving again instead of the plateau we were on. Training sessions are great back to back. Actually haven't had him shut down in over 3 weeks now. No signs of avoidance in 2 weeks with almost daily training sessions. A few insecure moments but they have been easy to bring him back from.

I'm starting to see that a lot of these issues are his teenage emotions and baby brain. Which makes me want to cry cause I was so concerned that maybe he would be very insecure in training for life. He will probably always be sensitive and I will have to keep improving but I won't have to always worry about him shutting down if he doesn't know the right answer.

Yuuri : Don't you dare see me as weak or perceive my vulnerability. Please comfort me and reassure me. I'll be constantly afraid of your reaction if I inconvenience you. Nothing scares me more than the people I trust lying to me. I'm more competent and at home in the face of people's scorn than in the face of their genuine love for me. The idea that anyone could see me as desirable is baffling. The world sees me as little more than dirt and I don't disagree with them. I am going to make them eat their teeth with their words or so help me I will set myself on fire trying. Just watch, I am the most beautiful woman in town and you will rue the day you underestimated me. How you like me now?

Victor, thinking he'd been dumped by the first person who'd made him happy in a very long time : I see this, I respect this, I am going to use the hell out of this. Hey. Hey fatty. Watch me pry the thing you love and use to cope with your feelings right out of your fingers until you lose weight. kinda reminiscent of what you did to me :) kinda sorta you know just a lil bit. You don't know what eros is? Okay, now you're just making fun of me.

Victor, after Yuuri had his katsudon eros realization : ...JFC he actually literally doesn't know. I. Uh. ...Huh. Well. Uhm. Okay. Maybe that means he doesn't get OTHER things too. He. He genuinely doesn't know what he did to me. He probably didn't even do it deliberately. Okay. Okay? Okay. I can work with this. THINK OF THE JUICY SUCCULENT PORK, BABE. ...I can't fkn believe this.

Victor, several episodes later when Yuuri reveals he literally doesn't remember the banquet: ...Well shit. The past year of my life has been a lie and I might be an asshole. Hm.

I've read some fics where after Yuuri's ED gets triggered and he crashes hard Victor looks back at all those early comments and goes 'I didn't mean it that way babe you're hot when you're fat and you weren't even that fat it was just that it could be unsafe for your joints to skate in that condition' and sure okay I get wanting to minimize the blow and Yuuri is adorable AF when he's heavier and i still enjoy those fics for the most part but

I disagree with that fully and completely cus nah, Victor's a petty lil bitch who can be cold and ruthless and isn't afraid to hurt people. Is he also warm and kind and loving and doing his best? Yes. He contains multitudes. But he was absolutely aiming to hurt, because he was hurt.

Yuuri, meanwhile, who's been bullied for a great majority of his childhood but has complete faith in Victor and unwavering confidence in his honesty - especially when that honesty fits his world view - that he has an entire Victor shaped blind spot : Eh? Pfft. He wasn't bullying me, what are you talking about? He was literally telling the truth. :/ I mean really, he was taking care of me.

Victor, falling to the ground and clutching his stomach with a groan because ooouuugghhh guilt-nausea : Y-....Yuuri.....

Yuuri : I mean Yurio can be a bully but that's just how he shows he cares so :3 Nah haha, I've had waaaay worse, trust me, lol

Yurio : ....I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of?

Victor, convulsing :

I think Yuuri can absolutely pick up on when Victor is being dishonest with him and poking his sharp little fingers into the sore spots, but more on an intuitive level that he doesn't know how to make sense of logically, so he just accepts it and moves on largely without comment a;dlkf he'll probably figure it out like fifteen years down the road when he's older and wiser and one day he squints at his husband and goes "...huh, okay" and then never does anything about it anyway because he loves Victor and forgives him and also Victor's hot when he's being mean so

Naegami Fluff and/or Shenanigans 9

Makoto and Byakuya are the type of people who get sick in drastically different ways. Makoto is the one who gets sick more often via colds and getting his nose all mucus-y while Byakuya rarely gets sick at all. When the heir does though, he's basically down for the count. Like, Byakuya has to stay cooped up in his bed for a couple days before he can recover. It can go longer though depending on how much energy he has to get up and ruin his sleep schedule by continuing to do work despite being sick. Honestly, both of these boys try and get stuff done regardless of if they're sick. Makoto's the type who'd try to do stuff for a friend or would try and still go to some place cus he doesn't wanna let anyone down. Or well, he tries. For instance, say Sayaka, Hina, Leon, Sakura, Mondo, and Yasuhiro (I just picked some of them randomly though one can theorize what they are all doing specifically together or something ehehehe) are all going on a get together some place and they all invited Makoto along. Despite the fact that Makoto is close to getting an actual fever though, he tries to still attend. All his buds send him home immediately though. Last thing they want is Makoto getting worse because he decided to chose the definitely smart option of limping his way to the event like a zombie that just freed it's leg that was previously caught in the confines of a fence. Meanwhile, Byakuya is adamantly work focused. Specifically, Byakuya would try his best to work on some sort of document or paper at 2am even though he should be both recovering from his illness and just asleep in general. Like, c'mon man! The assignment isn't due until 3 weeks from now. Yet, Byakuya consistently pushes on regardless of his condition. He's just REALLY good at taking care of himself. Basically, Byakuya only catches the hard hitters while Makoto gets all the weaker illnesses while avoiding the hard hitting flus and stomach bugs. The two manage this system that their bodies have though. This pattern for them can be detrimental for them if they both get sick though. Like, both are simultaneously telling the other to get some rest while also trying to get up themselves to do shit they are way too weak to do in this state. Ah, the hypocrites. That's not to say that they CAN'T get stuff done while they're both ill. It's just a bit of a shitshow for both of them though. Byakuya's complaining the whole time (tho, when ISN'T he hahah funny joke) cus he just HATES being super ill and unproductive. Like, the heir feels like he could be doing so many other things but his body is betraying him. He also just barely rests so being forced to makes him feel like he's lazy. Meanwhile, Makoto's more able and capable to do stuff in his state of sickness but he's still sick so he's way more prone to making minor mistakes and errors. Like, while trying to make soup for the both of them, he accidently puts too much salt in or accidently makes it too sweet by mistaking the sugar as salt instead. So yeah. Just a whole lotta sucky stuff. Everything gets much better once either one of them fully recovers or the both do. Byakuya's still gonna be complaining about the whole ordeal and will make fun of his boyfriend a bit for mixing up ingredients like "Tch. Were you actively TRYING to make us feel even WORSE?" sorta talk. Though, he's not THAT pissy about it. Just a little bit. Byakuya is built different and by different, I mean petty. All is well though at the end of the day! Also like, I just HAD to draw this. Like, a primal desire cus it's so goofy but also poor Byakuya is in the pains. He's not doing good at all. Think his tummy hurt. Poor guy. What a way to go T-T

[artistcaptainbendy]

I see that you have alot of Captain Underpants aus, so if you don't mind, can you tell me about all of them and the differences between them and canon.

Hey sorry for taking a while to reply.

I can't really remember everything AU I made but I'll try my best.

Let's start with what I think was the first one, smartypants Au. It's basically what happens when instead of the boys making krupp, the captain, it was Melvin. Of course the biggest difference here is that krupp is the silly one and the captain is the smart one. Melvin was tried of how dumb krupp was and so taught him a lot of info to try and make him smart (by editing the boys comics), when that didn't work he hypothesis him and made him captain smartypants. Now at first I was going to have SP!Krupp's chaotic nature just be something he does, but later on I decided to have it be his part cosmic chaos demon because it sounds funny, so now he has a reason to be chaotic he needs it to live. Now I believe almost everything I've drawn is technically Canon, sp can travel to other Aus and interact with other krupps so stuff like that happens.

Now let's go to Bendypants au. Just what happens when I take a horror game and blend it with the CU universe. George and Harold being joey and Henry, Melvin is sammy, krupp is boris, edith is Alice, of the star of the show himself! Captain underpants is bendy. Now some relationships I had to change for the characters but the story is basically the same. Now what I say isn't Canon is of course any of the funny side things I draw like them celebrating holidays together or when they all went to space or anything that happens with Beetlejuice. Its more of its own side au where it's the same characters but different vibes. AU BP is different from persona BP with is me even if I use some of the same story beats. Now I'm realizing I've drawn more things for the silly side au then the official one hahaha.

Side timeline au time. Criminal SP krupp, if what happened to sp in high school made him a worse person instead of better and he became a Criminal. He uses his chaotic powers to steal and rob places, one day after saving two teens, they wanted to join him. At first he wanted nothing to do with them but after a while he finally let them be his crew. Now I haven't drawn much for this one but most of it is Canon. Even the silly.

Imaginary friend AU. Again not much drawn for this one so all is Canon. But it's what if the OG, PP, and SP captains were Imaginary friends to their krupps who are kids. I still have no explanation as to how there are three krupps but eh.

Sp jekyll and hyde AU. Same story as the play version but with some changes, so I guess not that similar. But instead of murder it's pranks, and smarty doesn't cheat on edith. George and Harold are two orphans who hyde SP took and smarty decided to adopt. Now I'm not sure what to have not Canon so that's up in the air.

Vampire SP. Gosh there are lot of sp krupps. Ok it's sp but Vampire and smarty is his twin brother who somehow is a werewolf. Sp doesn't want to drink blood but has to so he doesn't go crazy, so his former caretaker works at a blood bank and sneaks him some "food". He had a girlfriend 100s of years ago and now has found a woman who looks a lot like her, this being Edtih. Hmm everything Canon, even when helped fight Beetlejuice.

And lastly (because I might of forgotten the other aus I might have) is the lumberjack Au! Krupp is a lumberjack......that is all (jk). His a lumberjack that lives in the woods in a small cabin, people thought he was some odd creature till the boys found him and saw he was just a lumberjack who might have been in the woods for too long. They befriend him and now once in while hang out with him. Now this more of a cozy au nothing too crazy happens in it, there might be sometimes when it does, like when krupp upsets the sprite of the woods, but hey who doesn't do that. Not much art for it yet but mostly all Canon, and the side horror thing with him as the protagonist is separated. But I'll leave you with a fun fact.....in this universe lumberjack krupp's parents are actually the smartest people in the world, like world class scientists levels, and he doesn't like talking about them and hopes no one realizes his their son.

What? I can't make a krupp who doesn't have issues it's impossible! Make a character who's just happy with life and has no worries ? Never!

!LONG POST WARNING!

Y'know what? Screw this.

*ties you on a chair and makes you look at a chalkboard*

Imma just explain a few things about Sarah because I'm kinda getting tired of keepin' it subtle, so, here it goes. *tap tap on chalkboard with chalk*

Transformations can be really, and I mean, REALLY painful sometimes, even for Sarah.

Whenever Sarah transformed (into.. erh.. some sorta beast.??) It would hurt her really bad and would only overwhelm her much more than recently, but that was only when she was still young. Sarah's transformation isn't exactly a curse per se, but uh... it's actually her powers, but due to the events that happened when she was little and didn't know how to controll this transformation of her's properly, this would make her dangerous and act hostile. But it wasn't just 'cus she wasn't in controll of her transformation, oh no no no, this is... uh.. much more deeper than you think. You see, whenever Sarah feels an overwhelming amount of stress or feel as though she's in danger, that's when her transformation spikes up and ruins everything. This is also the same case for when she's in danger or feels cornered, so.. you could say that this transformation is like a dangerous defense mechanism that Sarah doesn't have control over, and because of this, she has a hard time accepting these powers of hers.

Because like.. she doesn't remember what even happens after her transformation, all she knows is blood and destruction once she wakes up, she didn't mean to do the things she did, everything around her would just be total chaos and she wouldn't even know what happened until she eventually starts remembering little snippets of what had actually happened. This right here, this, ALL OF THIS. She has been dealing with this ever since her owner passed away, so she had to bear the pain of living alone and endlessly killing others unintentionally. One thing to also note is that whenever she starts to feel as though her powers are activating, her emotions increase as she starts to hyperventilate, and let's just say that that's... not a good feeling to have if I'm being real with you.

So one fateful day, she enters a city and uhhhh... lots of stuff happen, she didn't know where she was going and ended up being in a bad place at the wrong time, making her turn into a monster again aaaaaand killing many innocents in the city without her knowing... a g a i n.

So after reverting back and passing out due to the police being there and shooting a tranquilizer, she went to ✨️jail✨️

Though, while everyone in the city was horrified by what she did, there was one animal that saw through her and that wild panick that she had made.

And it was ✨️Benjamin✨️

This lil' guy right here used to work in therapy until he eventually retired, so.. you could say that he's a therapy dog, and he was there when the little incident had happened. This incident didn't feel like a threatening one, at least not for Benji here, no no- he actually saw the amount of stress and panic Sarah was feeling, he saw how panicked and nervous the onslaught was with Sarah and the hostility that she was inflicting, it almost looked like she was in distress for Benjamin here. There was something Benji thought was odd, so, guess what he did? He bailed Sarah out and made an agreement with the government in the city for him, Benjamin, to look after Sarah and to make sure incidents like this doesn't happen ever again. If Sarah was to ever transform and attack the city 3 times, she would be locked up somewhere far worse than prison. This wouldn't stop the cops taking action every now and then though, because, even if Benjamin was looking after Sarah, any sudden action she'd make that involved anything with her transforming would sometimes lead to the cops noticing and sometimes take action, but Benjamin however, would try to calm Sarah down whenever that'd be the case

The poor guy had to talk to multiple policemen, saying that he's got it all under control and how they wouldn't need to take action.

Though, because of this, the citizens of the city would start to hate Sarah because of how she could just get away with it that easily. Some of the folk in the city would even try to.. how should i put this... pressuring her, almost towards to bullying her because of how she becomes a monster every now and then when her emotions get in the way, and because of this, Benjamin would always try to protect Sarah from these bullys so she wouldn't transform. Sadly, due to all of the hatred towards her, this would only make Sarah hate her powers and even just herself in general, making her feel insecure about herself even. Everyone looked so normal in the city... she wished she could be like them and not whatever the hell she has going on. Luckily, Benjamin's always there to cheer her up at times, cus after all, that's what friends are for! And even then, Sarah wouldn't hurt Benjamin either, because they're both friends!

..Right?

AHEM

Anywho *yeets chalk away*

That's all I gotta say for now, you're now able to be released! *unties ropes* you.. you can go now..

Shoo

Now if you'll excuse me

If you made it this far then i... I'm surprised you actually cared to read the entire thing, or even look at it for that matter--

Imma go cry in a corner now👍

(pt3) Once again, chapter three wasn't originally going to exist. Or, if it was, it was going to be a mini scene inserted at the end of the second chapter.

Obviously, it did not stay that way.

I just liked the more mellow comedown, the slow process of reconciling the blurry whirl of sensations into his conscious mind and acknowledging what had happened to him.

I also wanted to explore more of what I'd touched on in the second chapter:

"Dick had told him about the forced heat, quiet as his brother refused to look at him, face buried in his knees while he spoke; a warning and confession all in one. Begging wordlessly for reassurance that it hadn’t been his fault, that he couldn’t have stopped his body’s reactions. 

He’d talked about the heavy lethargy of forced submission, the persistent burn of arousal and fever. 

The drugs that had stolen away his ability to fight back. That had made parts of him want it. "

I recognized that there was so much potential in watching Dick react to what had happened to Jason, his guilt over not having been able to stop it, the realization that he could have, technically, prevented it from happening if he'd done what Ra's wanted in the first place.

His careful repression to keep from making things worse by getting wrapped up in his own issues while Jason needed comfort. Careful to make sure that everything was an offer rather than a demand, always ensuring that Jason knew he could say "No" and that Dick would respect it. Giving Jason back some semblance of control after having had none.

Dick has experienced going through that situation, and he's also cued into his omega side in a way that Jason just isn't. He's learned how to alleviate the cramps that Jason would just put up and shut up about, for example. Dick is the aunt who tells you what brand of pads is the best and why you don't fall asleep with a tampon in. He had the Plan-B ready as soon as Jason woke up. He's got this shit locked in.

Jason is a lot more pessimistic than Dick is, as a rule. He didn't expect anyone to come and save him, he doesn't believe that they can keep Ra's away.

But he's trying, he's growing and recognizing that, even if they can't protect him, he might be able to trust his pack to at least comfort him in the aftermath. He wants to believe that they can manage that.

I also, for a brief moment, considered the possibility of future Tim/Dick/Jay in this universe "Tim would bring him books to read, gifting ones that Jason had only briefly thought of getting for himself." hehe I looked at that bit after I wrote it and went "What if? :3" but I don't know if that's actually going to be a thing, regardless now you know about it and can read into that however you want.

I could probably write a whole fic about Dick and Jason being domestic and nesting together, though it would feel really out of place in this series of DD angst LMAO

Okay, first of all, sorry I've never told followers this before, but never, EVER, pay Joann Fabrics and Crafts with PayPal. It's an absolute crime that neither Joann or PayPal is willing to tell you that they can barely communicate with each other, but they don't. It's been a few years since I was a manager there, but at the time I worked there, refunds from paypal purchases were made in the form of Joann gift cards, because they just couldn't talk to Paypal at all.

When you place a Buy Online Pickup In Store order, a hold on your mode of payment is places for the total cost of the order. When the staff marks the order as pulled, the hold is released and the payment is charged for the actual items that were pulled. This is because it's easier to charge someone less money than the hold than it is to refund money for items that were out of stock. If the whole order is out of stock, the hold should be released in its entirety. Once the hold is released, your bank or credit card has 3 days to process the released hold. I believe that 3 days is a federal law, but someone can fact check me on that if you want. The thing about PayPal is that they don't actually have to obey that law. PayPal's terms of service allow them to hold whatever they want from you for whatever reason or just because they're bored. They once held $600 of mine for 3 months because my neighbor moved in and he was a felon. PayPal has different rules from a normal bank. Paypal also once had my account locked for over a month and every 10 days I had to call them and ask why it wasn't unlocked, only for them to tell me it was unlocked except that it wasn't unlocked.

Joann freight from the main trucks is never actually checked into the store inventory. They have a list of what was on the truck, and when the truck is marked as arriving at the store, the items go into the inventory. This wasn't as shitty of a system when they didn't do Bopis or Ship from Store, because people can't buy what's not on the shelves, so having 160 garlands in a box in the stock room doesn't impact in-store customers as long as there's 5 out on the actual shelf. But it does impact online customers who order 80 garlands and are then told that they can only fill the order with 5 of them. This system was bad when I started working there in 2016 and it's only gotten worse as the company has continued to keep cutting hours and expecting the workers to just work harder (for minimum wage) to make up for it. But this system also means that if a box arrives damaged or the wrong box gets sent to a store or if a box got left on a loading dock in Ohio or something, the store inventory doesn't know.

Remember how I said staff cuts? Well, here's another fun one: the bopus system counted how many orders we canceled, but not how many items were in a canceled order. This meant that, when we had corporate demanding to know why we weren't filling more orders, we'd see really long orders and just cancel the whole thing so that we could get to doing the smaller orders faster and getting our numbers up. This was really garbage, but because of the restrictions that we had coming from corporate, it was the only way to get the numbers they wanted and avoid getting into trouble. I assume that the warehouses operate on a similar "we made up numbers that you have to reach and now you reach those numbers by doing things not how we want you to," because I used to get giant cartons with 1-2 items in them. I'm assuming corporate is tracking how many cartons get packed in a certain amount of time, but aren't tracking how many items get into the cartons.

In other "corporate didn't want it to work like this but it absolutely worked like this," on those surveys on the receipts, the 0-10 system was a lie. It actually read that 10 was a success, 9-5 was a failure, and 4 and below was a zero. This meant that if someone was being shitty, and I pegged them at wanting to leave a lower-scored survey, I'd stop trying to recover any customer service points and would just try to get them out of there. If you're going to give me a zero by giving me a 4, then I'm going to just shovel you out the store as fast as I could so that I could hopefully get someone who was going to do the survey and give me a 10. Also corporate did care about the time that a customer threw a roll of quarters at my head, but not for my own safety, just to lecture me on why I got a zero on that transaction. So yeah, throw a 220gram piece of metal at my head and then let me get yelled at for not making you happy because I couldn't materialize garlands out of my asshole.

So yeah, based on how things were heading when I left, it's tracking that things are now this bad. I can't actually go into the store I used to work in, because they don't pay hours to do freight before the store opens. So instead, cut counter and register employees are expected to do their jobs, also fill buy online and ship from store orders, and do freight, for the same amount of pay and in the same amount of time. This meant that boxes of freight were being left everywhere, since the employee doing that freight was only given 4 hours and was also doing three other jobs at that time. This meant that I can't actually shop with the people I really like and care about, because their unattended freight boxes have made the entire store wheelchair-inaccessible.

It's amazing how different working there looks after I started working at a place that's at least well-staffed and not being judged exclusively by somewhat arbitrary number goals. My current job has a whole host of nightmares, but at least "good customer service" is based on things other than horribly biased surveys.

Just a heads up, something really messed up is going on with Joann (fabric/craft store) and I highly recommend you don’t order online from them. Multiple people, including myself, have placed orders, had the entire thing or most of the order canceled by the store the same day while claiming the items aren’t in stock. However, they will hold the amount of your order for a month, in PayPal’s case, and not actually cancel it. I have called, emailed, and texted all of their customer service lines and only got one text in response that was just… a lie?

Obviously, they should not be allowing people to order stuff that supposedly isn’t in stock to begin with, but they should also actually cancel the order and not let a chunk of your money sit in limbo or never refund it.

Additionally, the twenty something items I ordered (to make a gift for a friend and for some Patreon stuff) were all very different things and there’s no reasonable way every single item was out of stock. And then they lied and said it was a payment issue:

When I spoke to both my bank and PayPal they said everything is up to date and perfectly functioning.

I honestly can’t tell you what, exactly is going on. But something is. And it’s bs. And I would highly recommend you find another source for crafting supplies if you can.

[lifewiththelulus]

part 1

Trying to think of scenario where Atlantis and Match meet but failing.

Maybe she goes to a show to support her friends and sees him play lol Cus he plays drums right?

Yeah! It could also be Vapor's first singing performance with Bog and Match. That could be the main reason she's here.

Omg yes!! She's very intrigued by him when she sees how wild he is I imagine them to be opposites lol

She's very laid back about everything

Well except for her little accident and her boyfriend dumping her over it but that's something I'm still working on,,,

Match is definitely a wildcard and loves to cause chaos, think male Nimona

They're gonna be very interesting friends lol

He's not above breaking his instruments on stage XD

She's never feared anyone before him XD She sees him as the definition of "don't let them know your next move"

Aw but like Imagine her being super chill and her and match get left kinda just standing there while the rest of them start talking about going to get some food and celebrate a great first show She's just quiet and chill as usual waiting for the others to pick a place to go

Match, would shout out the place he wants to go and will try to sell them on it until they cave in. Also he might notice the way she always looks a bit sick when she looks at Bog.

At first she probably finds him to be a little annoying and loud but as the night goes on she finds herself snorting and laughing at some of the stuff he says lol

She tries to avoid sitting next to Bog or really just being close to him She's probably still hung up on him at least a tiny bit, even though she says it's cool and they can be just friends. She would never try anything with him again, but thinking of what could've been still makes her a little sad

Match probably thinks she's a bit of a stick in the mud at first, but once he realizes she has a sense of humor that maybe she could be fun. (btw is this before or after her oopise at prom?)

I'd say maybe after? But she hasn't told anyone except Kindlin and Cirrus

Idk if you wanna have Bog know cus I know you said he overhears lol

Yeah Bog probably wouldn't know yet.

ok. She probably hasn't broken up with her bf at this point since he doesn't know yet

They got along cus they were both chill but as soon as she brings up the oopsie he's getting the fuck outta dodge He's probably the type to say he'll do something then fall through and have some lame excuse Very chill and friendly until it inconveniences him. I'm thinking He's the reason Lily finds out

And of course Lily goes crying to her Dad "I'm just SO worried about her! She dated this earth guy in secret and now she's gonna have a baby! Poor cousin Atty is messing up her life! We need to tell Uncle!"

Of course Atlantis' Dad finds out and they get into a huge fight He's more worried about public opinion of her being a single teen Mom with a mixed element baby than he is about her well-being and gives her a week to figure something out. But we'll get to that eventually >:)

What is after Atlantis learns that jerk BF has fled, she goes into a depressive state. She goes to Garden of Fabric to pick her supplies and Match's mom's are concerned for their best customer. Match is there helping his moms and he's all "Hey I know you, miss doom and gloom! …Wow you look even worse than before."

Omfg I totally forgot they ran a fabric shop and she does fashion XD

after a bit of bickering he offers her to hang during his special nights out.

Lol She's just like "Wow thanks you sure are a charmer."

Lol I can see her being a peachy lil thing with his moms and as soon as he shows his face she just frowns expecting another cheery insult

lol Match always says the first thing on his mind, not realizing what he says might be rude.

She always thinks heavily about what she says before she says it lol It comes with the territory of going to business parties with her dad and not embarrassing him ever again like she did once

She probably comes by so much that after a while she's expecting to see him there One time she goes in and he's not there and she's slightly disappointed they won't have their daily "argument"

aww bicker buddies ^^

Imagine her going up there one day and instead of asking for fabric she's kind of desperately asking for a job She even mentions she knows where they keep everything already and can answer most questions if a customer asks. She's not proud of asking but every other place she tried didn't want a teen with no experience or didn't have an open spot

They would flip with joy to have her work there. (They also can see signs of her pregnancy so they make sure to give her the jobs that aren't too strenuous.)

She literally never cries but then saying yes made her have a break down of relief as soon as she was out of eyesight

She probably still doesn't tell them, and doesn't realize they know lol She's trying to keep it hidden until it's unavoidable

He doesn't stay there for long, he's usually visits once a day to see if his moms needs anything, otherwise, he's out with other friends and or practicing his drumming. Though he might take up a job when he learns she'll be working there. XD

So I'm thinking once she has the job she probably gets her own apartment close by. She probably spends her breaks sitting in the storage room making baby onesies and blankets If she can't buy things then dammit she's gonna make em

Once eventually everyone know about it, Match delivers some fabric and says his moms insisted she take them. She later learns Match payed for those for her not the moms
