post-s11 Tami definitely gets tired of Lip and leaves him.

yes, I do like them as a couple, I think it is an interesting dynamic and that Tami is good for him honestly, even though they lived completely different lives and crash so many times because of it throughout the last seasons.

fact is Lip won't ever change and will keep making the same kind of mistakes and she will get fed up with it eventually. they'll go different ways, maybe keep a somewhat friendly relationship, and she will get a new partner and Lip will have a Sean kind of relationship with Fred: that kid is the most important thing in his whole life and he's constantly hunted by the fear of drinking again and hurting Fred.

also i really really really hate tami

i hate that shes pretentious in that never had to struggle financially a day in her life way; and thats fine at first if the characters or the narrative ever made it seem like it was a bad thing but they dont its just like shes a cunt about it and no one is going to address it ever even tho we literally keep talking about how gentrification is bad like what

and then the AUDACITY that she has to ciritcize lip for his lack of communication?? like lip sucks at talking about his feelings but holy shit this is coming from a person who just up and quit her job without giving Lip a heads up??? the one who assumed Lip was sleeping with other women even when he said otherwise and decided to go out to try to get laid??? EXCUSE ME

And also this would be fine if the narrative showed it in a way thats like they both suck at communication, but it doesnt??? the narrative is never critical of Tami; it just shrugs off her and her familys behavior like thats just how it is

gives me misogynist vibes in the sense of "thats just how women are, they never say what they want so theres nothing to criticize there"

[tamiveldura]

Look. LOOK. I've been TRYING to get a diagnosis. Any diagnosis. Anything at all. FOR OVER 12 YEARS.

Do you know what I know? I know that I'm harvesting a fucking weed out of my LAWN for pain relief because nothing else works. (It's henbit)

Do you know how desperate things have to be for you to start googling "is this flower going to kill me if I consume it" as the best possible lead you have?

Do you understand that that for 12 years the doctors have done every blood test that exists, CT scans, MRIs, everything short of exploratory surgery which I would have agreed to if I could fast long enough and that my paperwork is fucking FLAWLESS.

On paper I am a perfect human being and at my worst I couldn't sit upright.

Full stop.

Non diagnosis is valid.

Self diagnosis is valid.

Also fuck whatever is trying to eat my spine, you're fighting a dragon and dragons don't roll over.

can we talk abt disabled people without a concrete diagnosis. how diagnosis can be a privilege inaccessible for dozens of reasons. how even if you do happen to be fortunate enough to have access to doctors and specialists, it isnt easy to figure things out. how people dismiss invisible and undiagnosed disabilities. how the posibility of the issue being psychosomatic is used as a weapon to invalidate experiences. can we talk about how disabled people don't have to know why they're struggling for them to struggle.

Summary: Dean Winchester loves his job; working as a secret agent has its perks. There is nothing quite like the thrill of saving people and hunting down criminals. And with his baby brother Sammy at his side, it’s a family business. However, when he and Sam are assigned to the case of Lucien Shurley, a suspected crime lord with a rap sheet a mile long, Dean’s semi-predictable life takes a turn for the unprecedented and over complicated. He and Sam must go undercover to investigate Lucien’s own family, his brothers Gabriel and Castiel, and his young son, Jack, to find out just how involved they truly are. As the stakes rise and the body count follows, it is up to Sam and Dean to solve the greatest mystery of their careers; who is Castiel Novak and what does he know?

Summary: Losing Cas to the Empty felt like Dean was losing a piece of himself. I love you, Cas had said; and then he was gone before Dean got the chance to tell Cas how he felt. But Cas might have taken more than just Dean’s heart when the Empty ripped him away. Cas is gone, and so is Dean’s voice. Traumatic mutism: according to Sam and Eileen, Dean had been through a traumatic experience losing Cas and now he was mute. So, Eileen taught Dean sign language, and Sam bought notebooks for Dean to write out his thoughts. But Dean never stopped aching for Cas; praying to him every day and searching for a way to bring Cas home. When Dean finds a way into Empty, it’s a fight like he’s never fought before. Scream, Dean, scream, the Empty taunts. But Dean can’t stop until he’s rescued Cas, kissed his angel breathless, and told Cas the truth about how he feels—voice or no voice.

“Don’t you start, Cas. We need to find out what happened, or those women are as good as dead. If I wanted to listen to a load of crap about dad’s parenting choices, I’d have told all this to Sam in the first place, instead of biting his head off for asking.

Dean’s own time pulls him back eventually, but the gateway to the past keeps appearing, and Dean keeps visiting Cas — sometimes for minutes, sometimes for hours. They soon fall in love, but there is no possible future for them, for one simple reason: in a few weeks, Cas is supposed to die.

As the date of Cas’ death draws closer, will Dean be able to save his life? And if he does… will the two of them find a way to be together in the same time?

Summary: After rescuing his brother's fiancée from a house fire he doesn't survive, Dean Winchester finds himself in Heaven. He's immediately suspicious—after all, with everything he's done during his time on Earth... there's no way he deserves to be here. He lives in a beautiful neighborhood right down the street from his parents, in an amazing house that he shares with his new soulmate, Cas—a man Dean's never even met. Despite Dean's best efforts to keep his distance, Cas seems determined to make their new relationship work in the afterlife.

However, Cas doesn't understand... he isn't aware of Dean's past. Cas doesn't know that all Dean's good for is destroying relationships and ganking monsters. Cas doesn't know that Dean once got an innocent civilian killed on a case, doesn't know of the cave that haunts Dean's dreams. People are made of memories they bury or live by, and Dean chose to bury his a long time ago.

But as Cas chips away at Dean's resistance... the once-forgotten bones begin to surface.

But he realises... standing there, in the grey hellish landscape, the portal home flickering just beside them with seconds left on the timer, they're already were too late.

Running himself ragged fuelled solely by caffeine, whisky, and that trademark Winchester determination, he will find a way to stop Chuck and to save Cas. However, this isn't the blaze of glory Dean had always envisioned going out in. But, deep down, he would go out swinging to save a loved one. Those bright shining penetrating tear-soaked eyes are the last thing he sees before his vision is marred, the desperate plea of his name dampened by the black ooze filling his eardrums as the essence of the Empty wraps around him and pulls him pulled from existence into the dark.

All because of that simple prayer, the ending Chuck had always planned was rewritten.

Summary: Dean’s life had been made of running. He ran from a curse that had desolated his life ever since he was a child — whenever he got hurt, he turned into a goddamn human-torch, killing everyone around him — and he ran from himself and his own self-loathing.

But managing all that at the end of a world full of Croats lurking around every corner was easier said than done.

Until a mysterious man with tousled dark hair paired with blue eyes as clear as the sky during a hot summer’s day stopped him from free falling, literally. In one fell swoop, the stranger had not only saved his life but also calmed the wildfire threatening to burn everything in its wake.

There was something about Castiel that made Dean want to stop running but also hid something darker — something Dean couldn’t quite put his finger on. And between soft, pillowy lips and feather-like fingerprints, Cas could very well shatter Dean’s world and maybe help save the whole world in return.

Thy blood shall flow through mine || Aemond Targaryen x Reader

What's up my loves, it's been a while! After I watched the new trailer and everything I couldn't contain my excitement and I just HAD to write something to cope with the 1 month we have left until season 2! I got the inspo for this from my Old English classes and as much as I was disgusted during class my mind had to turn this into an Aemond fic bc let's be honest, that man could be nastyyyy...

I'm not gonna lie this one is a bit rusty but it's been a while since I've written about Aemond and I was in my 3rd coffee omfor the day as I wrote it so yeah...enjoy

Masterlist

W.C: 1k

Mark but this knife, and mark in this, How little that which thou deniest me is;

It sucked me first, and now sucks thee, And in it our two bloods mingled be;

Thou know’st that this cannot be said

A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead, Yet this enjoys before it woo, And pampered swells with one blood made of two, And this, alas, is more than we would do.

The letter was ripped apart in your hands moments after you read it out loud. Your uncle stood in front of you, his face covered with an unreadable expression as he watched you read his letter, the one of many you had found in your rooms.

The beautiful letter A sat neatly written in the bottom right corner of the parchment.

The first time you received one of these you were scandalized. Who could be so shameless to address such shameful writings to a princess? The first person who came to mind was your uncle Aegon, after all this was something that he would do with no doubt.

But then, as the letters kept coming you realized that the fool who dared call himself the future heir to the Iron Throne lacked the mental capacity to come up with such carefully crafted words, arranged in such way that send chills down your spine every time you read them. Aemond. It had to be him.

"Have you lost your mind, Aemond?" You asked, voice raising slightly as you looked at him, a desperate expression plastered on your face. "What if one of my maids found it? What if it got to my mother? Or the Queen? Not even Balerion himself could save me from their wrath. How could you be so senseless? And they call you the brightest one of the King's children!"

Everything that had been piling inside of you for the past few weeks finally came out as you voiced all of your frustrations.

The ripped pieces of paper gracefully fell from your fingers as they made their way towards the burning fire that lit up your chambers.

Your hand slowly made its way towards your face, touching the now wrinkled skin of your forehead as you felt the slowly forming headache that was going to torment you until dawn.

Seconds later, a larger, colder hand wrapped itself around yours, pulling you closer to a firm chest. The much familiar aroma of leather from riding gear, and hints of smoke and ash filled your nostrils.

"Hush, little hatchling. Do not fill yourself with excess frustrations. The Red Keep does not need another burnt scrub of the gardens." Aemond hushed against your ear. You could feel the corners of his mouth curl upwards as they hovered over the shell of your ear.

The contact with his body alongside his raspy voice stirred something deep inside you that made you shiver.

"We both know the way you've been looking at me for the past few moons. After that day in the courtyard, when my blade cut across your arm. It is soaked with your blood as much as it is with mine. Tell me, hatchling, does this not count as the consumation of a marriage? Is our blood not mingled together as it would be inside our own child? You are mine, hatchling, you've always been and will always be."

Aemond's words caused your breath to get caught inside your lungs, hot waves pulsating through your body.

His arms slowly encircled your waist, like a snake wrapping around their pray. He was the beast, you were his pray, and you've been willingly letting him sink his teeth in your neck for weeks now, taming you as his pet, his little hatchling that was about to become him forever.

" We can't, Aemond. Not when a war is about to rage above King's Landing and we're about to be on the opposing sides. I cannot let you take my hart in your possession only for you to shatter it to pieces the moment your grandfather blows his whistle at you like a dog and makes you drive a sword in between my mothers eyes!" You voice came out broken, eyes misty and reddish.

" I would rather drive that same sword through my grandfather's skull than let him take you away from me, Y/N!" Aemond snapped, his anger finally surfacing despite the facade he attempted to put up for you.

It never worked with you, him trying to hide what he truly felt. It's always been like this, to you, he was like an open book. No secrets, no nothing.

And now we are onto tamishiko Tamirumare, herself aka tami for short. She has two appearances/outfits in yokei godneu, the present day outfit seen above, and the jester outfit seen below.

In yokei godneu: to be a hero, Tami is the comic relief, butt monkey, and rival character to the party, working under the main antagonist of yokei godneu. Despite the main antagonist’s views towards the protagonists, and humans, tami is more accepting to it, however, they are still loyal to the main antagonist, despite that. They are fought multiple times, each time adding in new moves, and new tricks, and introduces the major bosses of yokei godneu, often leading to them be squished, however, tami becomes the last major boss before the main antagonist. Tami is surprisingly durable, kinda like a toon character, can duplicate herself, and knows a wide variety of tricks inculding singing, and dancing, as well as some other tricks you wouldn’t expect.

3.178 Toddler shenanigans

The house is dark and quiet when we return, so we tiptoe upstairs. Sophia stops by the girls' room and pokes her head in to make sure Desiree is okay. She and Tami are sleeping soundly as they should, so we scurry off to our room like giddy, horny teens for a little more fun before we crash. Quiet, PG-13 fun, of course, heh. In the morning, after we're all packed and ready to go, we head downstairs for breakfast with the Banks family. In Dub-like fashion, he suggests we stay another day or two and make it a real vacation. Before I had a chance to protest, he pulls out his phone and extends the rental for a night, giving us two more days to enjoy Ciudad Enamorada. I love that guy.

After breakfast and goodbyes, we roam around the neighborhood to find something family-friendly to get into. I'm doubtful about finding anything, seeing as this city is known for its lustful shenanigans, but we eventually stumble upon another park. It's visually divided by activity and age group, so I looked for the tiny tot stuff. I put Desi down in front of the slide and she climbs up. When she gets to the top, she doesn't know what to do. Or maybe she does and she's just scared. I tell her to sit and scoot toward the edge until she slides down. We cheer her on so she knows it's gonna be fun and not dangerous.

She sits and scoots, so I go to the front so she can see me. Her scoots are hesitant, but she eventually slides. The faster movement frightens her at first, and I thought she might have a fit. But when she reached the end, she looked pleasantly surprised. I'm proud of her for doing it, but hope I haven't created a thrill-seeking monster, heh.

She slides a few more times before Kooper catches her attention, so Sophia and I sit nearby and discuss our Harvestfest plans. Even though all the kids are completely mobile, it's still far easier for us to bring the food to Newcrest than for Less to bring all those kids to our house, so we decided we would go to Newcrest. I also added a mental note to start looking for a house when we get back so we can put these kinds of discussions and decisions behind us.

I just happened to look over my shoulder and saw something that made me feel both embarrassed and alarmed.

"Oh my Watcher," I said.

"What is it?"

"Our child is running around naked."

Sophia thinks it's funny, but I hop up and run after her. It's kinda crazy how fast toddlers are. I grab her when I catch up so we could find where she ditched her clothes. Sophia is still laughing, but I suppose it is hilarious watching a panicked grown man chase after a naked baby.

"Do you not recognize this behavior, Luca? Her parents aren't very fond of wearing clothes either!"

"Desi, honey, you have to keep your clothes on," I say while redressing her.

"Koopa an Wosie no have quoas," she says.

Her very sound logic makes me smile. She's so smart.

"Kooper and Rosie are dogs. Dogs don't wear clothes."

My tone is friendly, but I can see the disappointment growing on her face, and I know she feels like she did something bad, so I hug her.

"I'm not mad, okay? I love you. Just keep your clothes on outside."

"Otay daddy."

TW: grooming and SA

something about how ians plotlines are ignored during the later seasons in favour of other characters makes me so angry. they really couldnt be more obvious how much they hate him.

the kash storyline was such a big part of season 1. it really changed so much of how ian viewed love and his relationship with men. kash was so violent towards him and its never really touched on. like being so jealous he shoots mickey?

and its not brought up again after season 6 in a throwaway line but fucking tami gets a storyline dedicated to it? im not saying that they couldnt have included it but i really cant believe ian wasnt ever brought up.

the whole monologue is about how tami didnt have her mom and how her dad didnt pay attention to her. how her sister had to step up and be the mom and her little sister was given priority because “she was the baby” and how that left tami alone in the middle. she was needy and daddy starved and a grown male preyed on her. how she thought she was so mature.

again that describes so many young girls especially because ian and tami grew up in the ezria fanfic lolita tumblr era. it would have been really interesting to look at but not when it completely ignores the already existing storyline of a main character that was already underdeveloped. like why the fuck did lip not talk to ian about this at all?

and the same workplace grooming storyline with carl. ur telling me nothing about that situation is familiar at all? or the storyline about how carl gave up on his dreams because he felt like he would never be good enough? a storyline which felt a little hollow when ian wasnt allowed to be an emt he immediately went back to the fairy tail because he felt like his body was the only thing he could ever be good enough for.

rhe only storyline that i really felt was good for his character (post season 8) was the one where he was scared of getting married and even that one felt underwhelming. i wish they had addressed how ian has never been told that he is serious relationship material and most how his “relationships” were playing the role of the mistress.

tbh most of the writing fell apart after season 6

The dorm was quiet, the only sounds being the steady ticking of the clock hung on the wall. Even the hall was quiet, with most of the students for the upcoming semester not having arrived yet.

In this quiet moment, Pickle idly groomed herself. The feline pokemon ought to look her best, especially if her trainer was deciding to keep that evil distortionspawn wearing the flesh of a glameow. She refused to be replaced by that... thing. Maybe it would convince Maple that he didn't NEED another catmon, especially not that one.

The meowscarada carefully adjusted her mask when out of the corner of her eye she noticed Tami the absol's head suddenly shoot up. It didn't take long for the source of the absol's sudden panic to be located though as suddenly a strange light filled the room and the ever present sound of the clock ceased.

Pickle took a few wary steps back, fur standing on end as Tami stood up to join herm The absol was wary but not alarmed. Pickle thought that was stupid because clearly the world was about to end and the absol should have been freaking out about that.

As the source of the light shifted, becoming more humanoid in appearance, Princess Creature trotted out from her hiding spot to join the other two felines with a curious mrrp.

Of course! This was obviously Creature's fault! Creature had summoned the end times! There was but one way Pickle could fix this.

She picked up the Glameow and threw it at the light.

Creature sailed through the air before hitting the figure in the light squate in the chest and bring caught in its arms. In an instant, the light dissipated and the figure was revealed to be a woman with dark skin, a gaunt face, and long blue hair.

The woman looked stared a bewildered Tami and Pickle, before looking down at the evil, horrible glameow in her arms. The second she registered Creature, she happily lifted the catmon above her head with a wide smile, cooing and babbling at the thing as if it was a mere kitty and not some foul beast.

"THERE YOU ARE!" The woman exclaimed happily before bringing creature down towards her face and nuzzling it excitedly. "My sweet little baby girl! My wonderful little daughter! Mommy missed you so much she had no idea where you went! Don't ever run off without me again! My sweet little baby!!"

Pickle stared on. She was one of THOSE trainers. And to that monster no less. Disgusting.

The meowscarada began to growl lowly when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up, expecting her trainer only to be dissapointed when she realized it was the other one

"Rona," The One That Was Not Her Trainer started, getting the strange woman's attention. "It's been years. You cannot keep calling that thing your daughter to cope with me killing the real one."

The woman said something about not knowing for sure but Pickle didn't pay full attention, just staring at The Other One, The One That Was Not Her Trainer, in shock. She really did just say that, huh? Out of fucking pocket.

She was snapped out of her shock when The Other One spoke again.

"Right. Whatever. You have your glameow, so leave."

The woman made an exaggerated pout and began to whine dramatically.

"Awwww, I can't stay and hang out with an old friend? Catch up? Discuss what we've been up to? Talk about you chose this one to be your little toy for the next couple thousand years?" As she asked the question, she tucked Creature under her arm like a sportsball and gestured towards Maple's body, the body The Other One was currently posessing.

The One That Was Not Her Trainer was not amused.

"No," it said simply. "Leave. I have no wish to discuss anything with you."

The woman was clearly disappointed but relented anyways. Good choice. Pickle wouldn't have pushed The Other One anymore either.

She quickly said her goodbyes and thanked them for keeping the glameow (who's name was Fortune, actually. Not Princess creature. It should have been named Vile Evil Thing in Pickle's opinion) before dissappearing into the same light she had appeared in. As soon as she was gone, the clock began to tick again.

Pickle just stared until the other one spoke.

"Let's not let Maple know about this one either."
