Helping you in a panic attack — Gojo Satoru
Pairing : Gojo Satoru x f!reader
Genre : heavy angst, hurt and comfort, sfw, a small millisecond of fluff at last?
A/N : Sorry if someone did this already, but i wanted to write something sad so bad lol.
WARNING : panic attack, self harm, mentions of blood, crying, tears, past abuse & bullying
“This is kinda big for you, huh,” Satoru says, kneeling on the bathroom tiles in front of you and rolling up the sleeves for a better fit.
You're not in the best state, sickness taking a toll on you in the middle of literature class. Satoru blames it all on how poorly you've dressed yourself so he asks for permission to bring you to the bathroom and put some of his.
Your wrists feel cold where he touches and his blue eyes freeze when his fingertips brush over something over your skirt pocket.
It's that bloody pen, the one that—
“Shit,” Satoru mutters.
It has been two years since you last saw them. The reason of your current panic attacks. Two years since your boyfriend reported them to the police for severe bullying case. Although they're gone, they did leave their evil habit to corrode you by yourself, untill you collapse of self deterioration. That is, if your boyfriend wasn't there by your side.
The bathroom's lights are dim but he can faintly make out where your skin is darker under his jacket that he made you wear, like it's bruised. He takes a long breathe. Satoru's fingers tremble as he goes to pull it out of your skirt.
“Stop! ” you shout suddenly, standing bolt upright from the closed toilet seat he made you sit on, eyes wet and unfocused.
He looks at you, and the only word Satoru can think of is broken. He feels protective over you all of a sudden. He's the only one in this world who knows what you've gone through, and there's no way he's not going to do something about it.
“y/n, please,” Satoru says, taking a step towards you. “Let me take that out. It's not good for you-”
“It is,” you're still shouting, voice cracking, taking multiple steps back, as if you're a cornered prey and Satoru is hunting you. “It is, you can't take it, you can't-”
“Give me the pen,” Satoru's chest aches. “Please, pup, you're hurting yourself.”
“I'm not hurting myself, it helps,” comes your croaked voice. You walk back, away from him, and then trip on something, probably the wet floor. You don't even try to get up. Just there, staring up at Satoru with those terrible, glassy eyes. It's coming, your panic attack — you can feel it. You don't want it again.
“You wouldn't understand,” you say like a stubborn kid accusingly. “So- j-just stop trying to act. You don't get, it helps, it's all I have--”
“No, you don't get it,” Satoru voice reaches an octave. There's something telling him he shouldn't be angry, that you're only lashing out because you're desperate, but Satoru is still Satoru. “Its crazy, the way you hurt yourself with that damn pen all day! ” His chest heaves but he needs to say more, finish this once and for all. He sees it, that godforsaken pen clutched like a candy in a kid's hand.
“It's not helping and for god's sake will you take it out and give it to me? ” Satoru's voice echoes in the dimly lit space and that's when he realizes he'd been shouting. Just like your father had been. It's deathly quiet then, just the soft buzz of a few fireflies dancing around the visible light.
He is breathing hard, gulping because he feels like he's choking. You're still on the floor and crying. Satoru did not want this.
You look so lost and pathetic, sitting on the cold bathroom tiles, trembling with suppressed sobs and fingers hooked under the pointed pen you stabbed your wrist with. He looks at you and you look heartbreakingly small. Satoru's anger leaves him in a moment.
“I'm sorry,” the white head says immediately, collapsing to his knees and gathering you into his arms. You don't move, just let your forehead rest on his shoulder like a limp mass and try to breathe.
“Fuck, I'm so sorry, babe,” he swallows, wrapping his arms tighter and feeling like the worst person in the world right now.
You stay there for a long time, minutes or hours or more, pressed against your boyfriend in the biting cold. You wonder how he's still keeping up with you. When you stop shaking, Satoru pulls back slightly to see your face.
You've definitely stopped crying but your eyes are no less of a void than before.
“Hey,” Satoru murmurs, and you lift your head a bit. He removes one arm from around you and places his hand on your cheek, still damp. Only then do you look at him, eyes confused, dazed. Your skin is soft with tears. Satoru feels like he has something incredibly precious in his arms, that's equally fragile.
He uses a thumb to wipe them up, leaning in so that your foreheads touch along with your nose. You blink.
“Let me? ” Satoru asks quietly, his warm palm around the silver metal pen forgotten in your hold. You swallow and nod, eyes still on Satoru's.
He pulls out the pen from your hand and places it behind him on the floor. “You don't need to hurt yourself,” Satoru says. “There are other ways.”
He has no idea whether you hear or even understand him.
“Stay over at mine,” Satoru says. He doesn't ask because he knows you won't answer him.
You both stand up and walk to his house. Your boyfriend holds your hand, which was unresponsive but warm.
When they get inside, Satoru's mom is at the island in the kitchen, leaning against the marble counter, reading something — presumably a philosophy book. She looks up as Satoru enters.
She stops when she notices you behind him, face scrunching into that of worry.
Satoru gives his mom the best 'don't ask' look which she being his mom, understands easily and nods.
“Let's go upstairs,” he tugs on your hand, and you trail behind the boy silently.
When you get into his room, Satoru offers you some of his clothes which you know will literally drown in just by looking at how big they look. He goes to the bathroom while you change, brushing his teeth and preparing for the bed. When he finishes, he comes out to see you standing in the middle of the room, scratching at your wrist. You look really small in his grey t-shirt and he finds the fact so adorable.
“Aren't you going to get into bed? ” Satoru says, and your head snaps up incredulously. Satoru, irrationally, blushes.
Yes, your little relationship hasn't gone much far yet.
“I'll sleep on the couch, don't worry,” he says quickly, nudging his chin at the fold-out he keeps in his room for when Geto & Shoko stay over after playing video games. “it's a pretty comfy couch. Don't have to think about me. And uh.. not that my bed's not comfy, 'cause it is. Everything's comfy.”
He regrets talking too much. Oh how he wishes to learn a technique that can close his big mouth.
He chuckles nervous and awkward and you get into his bed. You pull the covers over yourself, your line of shoulders still tense but he decides he can do nothing about that. He doesn't want to make you feel even more uncomfortable.
“G'night,” Satoru says, and turns off the light. He grabs a pillow and and lies down on the couch, tucking his blanket tightly around himself.
Now he can't really sleep, and judging by your odd breathing, neither can you.
“Satoru? ” You call out of nowhere, and it's so unexpected for him Satoru nearly falls off the side.
“Y-yeah? ” he replies.
Satoru's s heart is close to ripping out of his chest as his throat goes dry simultaneously.
“Do you still care? ” you ask after a pause. He doesn't say anything, so you elaborate for him in a more straight-forward way.
“Do you still like me? ”
“Yes ” he manages. It sounded more like a question, as if he expected you to go somewhere with that. Of course he still likes you, what were you thinking?
Satoru cranes his neck to look at you, whose posture under the covers seems to be more relaxed. He bites his lip on a smile.
A/N : they're still working on it :) feeling down? text me if a talk can help ♡ aaannddd! reblog if you enjoyed this hc! even likes are appreciated ^-^
P.S. : sorry if i did not make it clear what's up with the pen here, she used to stab herself with the pen on her wrist as a coping mechanism for her panic attacks (to ground herself!)

✧ Wait For You
AJ Campos x fem! reader
Warnings: AJ pining over reader, being a bit big (hopeless) gay mess. Fluff, angst? Coarse language. Dylan being annoying
In which, AJ is scared of making the first move despite her friend’s’ encouragement and is in need of a push. Partially inspired by the song included.
“AJ! You are infuriating.” Dylan sighs exasperatedly.
“I’m sorry. I haven’t had a crush like this before.”
He rolls his eyes, “Stacey- help.”
“What is it this time?” Stacey chuckles, putting her phone down.
AJ was currently sat with her usual friend group in the school courtyard for lunch. “She keeps saying y/n is cute and I tell her to ask for her Instagram and she says she can’t do it.”
“Do you want me to just introduce you? What’s staring at her from afar going to do? You’re worse than Paige crushing on Gabs.” Stacey was ready to get up and just approach you.
“No, no, no. I’m not ready.”
“AJ- all year.” Gabi chimed in.
“Very helpful.” AJ scoffs. “It would be.” Stacey shrugged, “I’m going.”
“NO.” AJ freaks out, “Are you crazy? She says hi to me and I barely say a word back- how can I talk to her?”
“AJ! Just start with one question. Or just one word? Say hi? She’s in your fucking homeroom.”
AJ smacks him on his shoulder, “Shut the fuck up, dude.”
“She’s coming over.” Stacey says. “Because you’re waving!” AJ screeched, ready to bolt from the picnic table. Paige pushed her back down, “She likes you.”
“Fuck, no.”
“Your gaydar is so off, it’s hopeless.” Paige sighs. “And she’s been giving you signs.”
“What signs?” AJ sighs exasperated.
“Hi, guys.” You stopped at the bench, “What’s up?”
“Our AJ over here was wondering if you’d like to go out with her sometime?” Gabi asked first. AJ felt her heart stop for a beat, seeing you right in front of her face had her cheeks heating up. She looks away.
“Don’t stop us. You clearly need the help because you are one clueless bitch.” Dylan remarked. You smacked him on the shoulder, “Don’t call her that.”
“You two are the same person.” He seethed rubbing his shoulder.
“But yeah, I’d love to go out with you.” You smiled, “I’ll text you.”
AJ chuckles nervously, “Okay. Yeah- um- thanks?”
The group collectively facepalmed at her response while you asked for her phone to input your number. She fumbles, nearly cracking her phone on the floor, “Here.”
“Okay. I’m gonna give myself a missed call so I have your number too.” You shrug. Once that was done, you gave AJ her phone back. “I’ll see you around.” You flashed her a smile, turning to leave.
“Say, ‘bye’, you.” Paige nudged her in the back
“Bye, you.” AJ didn’t even think and those words just repeated themselves in a completely different tone.
“Oh, God.” Dylan groans.
“Bye, AJ.” You chuckled, walking away.
————
“Your sister? Ridiculous. She’s so awkward.” Dylan grumbles.
“So? Not everyone finds it easy to talk to someone and get to know them.” Gabi squinted.
“It’s clear as day that she likes you, why are you so terrified of girls? You’re gay.” Dylan continues.
“Okay, enough. That’s not helping anything, babe.” Stacey shushed him. “AJ, once she texts you with the deets, let us know and we’ll help you- all the way. Outfit, hair- whatever you want.”
“I mean, I don’t think I’m gonna need to do much if-”
“She likes you? No shit- I think if you fuck her senseless the first night, she wouldn’t mind either.”
“Okay, shut the fuck up, Dylan.” Paige glares at him.
“I’m not about to hook up with someone I haven’t even talked to.”
“You wouldn’t be the first to do it to someone.” Dylan says.
“Shut up. Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed today? Because you’re making me seriously angry.” AJ shifted away from him.
The bell rings. AJ grabs her backpack and notebook, “I’m gonna get to class. Bye, guys.”
After school was over, AJ headed home, eagerly anticipating your texts. She dumps her backpack on the ground and plugged her phone in before she went ahead to take a shower.
You saw her response and practically jumped for joy. You’ve been interacting with her for months in a way that you only would with someone you had feelings for and thank God for her friends for finally stepping in because she was a little too nervous. This was a great start. Considering how she could barely get her words out with you.
There it was. Chuckling to yourself, you rolled over so you were laying on your stomach. You tossed your phone aside while waiting for her to reply.
Your phone chimed after a couple of minutes, and what was on your screen was a voice message. You pressed play: ‘Nothing much, really. I just got out of the shower and saw that I got a text from you so…I responded. Can’t wait to see you though. You?’
‘I was thinking about watching a movie. I’m not feeling too excited about the homework I’ve got, so I’m kind of procrastinating a little bit.’ You sent her one back.
She didn’t respond for a bit, but you didn’t think too much about it. Shrugging, you got up to walk around, stopping in front of your mirror to redo your hair. Your phone buzzes again. You pick it up, and:
You told her yes and immediately went to get your stuff. Then, you left the house and headed to hers. You’ve been there a couple times when Gabi threw parties, but you’ve never got time alone with AJ even then. You could never find her- and once when you did, she avoided you like she’d just seen a ghost.
————
“Oh, you actually came.”
“Why the hell would I turn down an invitation from the mysterious AJ Campos?” You joked, “Can I come in?”
“Uh- yeah, yeah. Duh, of course.” She stepped aside so you could enter. And once you did, she closes the door behind the both of you. Anyway, while AJ worked on her chemistry worksheet, you do the same- completing the remaining questions that you had left after working on a part of them in class.
“I’m such an idiot.” She says while writing her essay later on.
You squinted at her, dropping your pen, “What makes you say that?”
“My friends.” She scoffs, “You’ve been so nice to me and trying to get me to talk to you and all I do is avoid you like you’re trying to kill me. I mean, maybe you are trying to kill me with how cute you are a little bit. But…”
“Hang on a sec- did you just call me-”
“I’m sorry.” She blushed.
“No, no. Don’t be- that- that’s good. Flirt with me all you want, I’m down.” You told her straightforwardly, “Because if I’m being honest, if you flirt with me, I’ll flirt back. But if you don’t, I don’t. Because I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.”
“I’m just…awkward.” She admits, “And scared that you didn’t actually like me.”
“Fact is, I would wait for you no matter how long it took.” You admitted, “Besides, you’re co-captain of the track team. That alone, I personally find it so hot. I love a sporty gal.”
She blushes, “You’re sweet. But honestly, I hope you wouldn’t because you could’ve wasted your time on me.”
“I’m just saying…I’m a patient person. If you’re not ready, I’m not gonna insist that we start dating or anything.” You told her, “We can just get to know each other and let nature take its course.”
“Okay.” AJ nodded decisively, “This works both ways, y/n. If you don’t want to do anything, be honest. Or if you want to try anything, let me know. We can talk about anything. Whatever you want. That’s how we should make things work.”

Emergency P3
Media House of Anubis
Character Jerome Clarke
Couple Jerome X Reader
Rating Sad and Adorable
"tell me about her."
I couldn't hold back a smile, "I mean... there's so much to say, she's so sweet, she's caring, she's Incredibly funny she makes me laugh all the time, she's smart, but not just book smarts she's like really like clever. I just..." I blushed, "I just... love her. She's... I don't know whenever I'm with her I feel happy. I feel safe. I never want it to end I just... I love her."
"You ever told her?"
"No. I... I don't think I've ever even said it out loud." I told her, "And the fact that she might die before knowing how I feel... I can't think about it, the thought of losing her, it doesn't seem fair... I should've just told her from the beginning..."
"...life isn't fair Jerome. It's why it's so precious"
"but is it fair that I'm losing her like this? that I have to watch her get to such a critical point? that if she dies it's all going to be my fault? that I never told her my true feelings?"
"It's not your fault. no matter what happens it's not your fault."
"but I couldn't save her, if she dies now it is my fault... maybe I could have said something done something... I should've told her and maybe then she'd try to fight this harder for me, maybe she'd keep going but now she's giving up because she thinks nobody loves her or wants her alive..."
"Jerome, it's not your fault she's fighting believe me she is fighting. It's not your fault if she dies"
"I want to believe that but right now, I just can't. it's... it's so hard to believe that" my whole body felt numb with pain and sadness I wanted to be with her holding her hand, "but... what if she... what if she doesn't make it out of the surgery? what if- what if she dies on the table? and I-"
"just... Try not to think about it"
"how can I not when this is my best friend's life? the... the girl I love." I stared at her as I wiped my tears, "I'm sorry."
"It's alright trust me I've seen far worse."
"she has to make it, she has to."
"I hope she will..."
my mind began to race with the thought of losing such an important person to me, the mere thought of it was terrifying enough that I started shaking in the chair, my body trembling I couldn't bear this world without her. and to think... I wouldn't even get to say goodbye if something happened to her.
"ohh... Good news." the nurse said,
I bolted upright in my chair,
"What is it!"
"she's out the surgery theatre"
"Is she okay? the doctors said she was fine, right?!"
"she's alive. Doctors notes say... medication is being given now moving her onto post-op ward C8 room... 109"
The moment I heard It I grabbed my stuff and got out of the chair, I gave the nurse a hug and a thank you before I bolted through the corridors like a speed demon, my heart felt like it was beating out of my chest but I didn't care, I didn't even bother waiting for a lift I just ran up the stairs! As soon as I saw her room I burst in without a word.
And there... I saw her. she's alive!
For a moment my feet couldn't move torn up to see she was alive, lying hooked up to various machines, "she's okay, she's okay," I cried as I set my stuff down pulled the chair beside her and held her hand as tight as I could, I smiled so giddy crying tears of joy just sitting here beside her.
Slowly after a while her sweet eyes flutter open and glances around the room. I smiled and held her hand as gently as I could not wanting to hurt her but she saw me, faintly smiled and squeezed my hand a little.
"you're okay, you're okay. I'm here, I'm here," I repeated over and over again, "let me just..." I gently leant forward to kiss her on the forehead, and another and another and another kissing her over and over again, all over her head and face, before I finally pulled back and saw her beautiful little eyes, "Don't worry, you're safe now. I'm here now, okay? I'm right here and I promise god, the devil or World War Three couldn't get me away from you."
"J-Jerome," she croaked,
My heart skipped a beat just to hear her,
"Yeah?"
Her hand moved slowly slightly shaking as she moved it before she tapped my nose, and it broke me I cried hysterically holding her close my body trembling "Y/n I'm so sorry. I-i..."
"...why?"
"b-because of me. everything you went through today, it's all my fault."
"your fault... Jerome... You carried me in your arms to the nurse... I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you"
"r-really?"
"really... Without you, I'd have lost my heart in my dorm room bed in class or on the walk to school. They wouldn't have brought me here without you"
"Really? You think... I'm... I'm the reason you're alive?"
"I think so"
"and here I was thinking it was me that had almost lost his heart today, because of you..."
"What?"
"I- I mean, I was thinking that for a moment I thought I lost you today, and I couldn't have... I... just the thought alone almost broke me, I'd never recover if..." I muttered, "I can't lose you. I just... I just can't..."
"It's okay..."
"no... it's not okay. I can't lose you. I can't ever lose you. you're everything to me."
"you don't mean that..."
"I- I do mean it. I mean every single word. You're the most important person in my life and I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you."
"you really think I'm the most important person?"
"without a doubt. I've spent the last few years with you, and every single day has been the best because I got to spend it with you. you've made me happy and helped me grow and become a better person. i... I don't believe I'll ever meet someone like you again." I nodded,
"ohh Jerome I feel the same but you really think I'm more important? What about your sister? Your parents? Yourself?"
"no, you beat them all. you're the most important person to me. you mean the world to me. you're my everything. without you, I don't think I could keep living." I shook my head, "My sister has been cruel to me as long as I've known her, I rarely see her, I don't even remember the last time I saw my dad and if I'm lucky I see my mother a week out of the year. You... I see you every day, we have in-jokes, and stupid rituals, and you always come to me when you are stuck on a game level... I live with you, you're more a family to me than anyone."
"Jerome... Don't make me cry"
"Alright, alright, I should probably stop. I just..." I blushed, "Gushed enough... I'm just so glad you're okay. you scared me today."
"I'm sorry I didn't want to scare you"
I smiled and squeezed her hand, "No, don't say sorry, it's okay. I'm just... I'm so relieved you're okay. when I saw you laid out on the bed, I just..." I choked up, "I was so worried about you. I didn't want anything to happen to you because I just..."
"yes?"
"because I love you."
"you - you what?"
"you heard me. I love you. I've loved you since the moment I first met you. every day has been better just because of you. and now..." I told her letting out everything I've ever wanted to tell her, "now I just can't imagine a single day without you. i... I just can't. I love you."
"ohhh, Jerome... I love you too" she began to cry
my entire body shook with joy and my eyes filled with tears at the sound of her words. I lean forward to wipe her tears and smile softly. "really?" I ask, just wanting to hear her say it again. "you really love me?"
"I love you so much, since the first day we met I never thought you cared about anyone like that,"
"you don't realize how much that means to me. I've never had someone care about me so much and it just... it means the world to me. you have no idea how happy I am to hear those words."
"do you mean it?"
"oh, I mean them for sure. how could I not? how could I not be in love with you? every time I look in these gorgeous eyes of yours, it's like I'm looking straight into heaven. and your laugh is so beautiful and contagious, I can't help smiling every time I hear it. and your personality is just incredible, I love how carefree you are but how careful you are at the same time. I love EVERYTHING about you, y/n."
"I love everything about you too Jerome"
I smiled and closed the gap between us squeezing her hand and giving her soft beautiful lips,
"as much as I love you... I think you should stop telling me or I might actually have a heart attack "
"Alright, alright, I'll take it easy. just promise me something?"
"What?"
"Promise me that... that this is the real thing. this isn't just happening because you're in a hospital bed or you're tired or sick, but you mean every single word. you love me."
"I mean it a thousand times over and I'd say it if I was in a hospital bed. In a garden. On a beach. On a mountain. Or on the moon. And I still mean it. And I promise I will tell you all of those places if it means you believe me" She smiled,
"I love you so so much Y/n... can I ask... did you... wanna be my girlfriend?"
"I'd love to Jerome,"

The Winchesters 1x10: Suspicious Minds
Lawrence, Kansas
1957
On a lonely stretch of highway, a woman paces around her broken-down vehicle. Another woman stops and offers to help.
Unfortunately for her, helping seems to imply getting the ol’ Sam Winchester head treatment. The attacker turns out to be an Akrida!
Lawrence, Kansas
1972
Millie has installed a state-of-the-art alarm system for the clubhouse in Mary’s home. She bolts when finished, leaving Mary and John to continue their hunt for a way to take out the Akrida. John finds an unopened letter from KSU. Mary applied, but now is too nervous to read the contents of the envelope.
John opens it for her and she was accepted! This calls for a make-out sesh, but they’re sadly interrupted by the handy bell Millie just installed!
“Hunting and happy endings don’t usually mix, so when you get your chance, you got to ask yourself, “How far will I go to get it?”’
(Boris: Yes, Dean, over the next four episodes, please enlighten us on how far you’ll go for your happy ending)
Lata and Carlos are at a dead-end with their hunt for the Akrida queen. Carlos seems distracted. When Lata presses for answers, he admits that he can’t stop thinking about Anton. He’s lovesick, guys! And they’re taking it slow, so he’s a mess right now. He resolves to break up with Anton, and forget what he needs to forget. That gives Lata an idea –find someone that was possessed by an Akrida to mine their memories. Carlos has an idea!
Meanwhile, Mary and John sneak into the clubhouse and find (*Fran Fine voice activated*) MR. SHEFFIELD! Or, er, Porter J. Hobbes, Men of Letters. (British Men of Letters?!)
He’s there to help them find and kill the Akrida queen. Mary demands his full CV, so he fills them in on how he was a neurosurgeon until he was recruited into the Men of Letters. He was their resident Dr. Frankenstein, conducting experiments on monsters and turning them into watchdogs for the MoL(e men). He retired about 15 years ago to a quiet life with no family.
Lata and Carlos head to a motel room of impeccable decor. They found Roxy, and folks, she’s not doing great. (Lata on the other hand is in peak hair, wardrobe, makeup, and accessories mode. She is a vision tonight!)
They ask her about the Akrida. She can’t remember clearly. She doesn’t want to remember. She’s lost everything: her girlfriend (we keep winning, guys!), her job, and her apartment. Now, she’s just going to drink her way to oblivion. Lata suggests another way.
Back at the clubhouse, Mr Sheffield Hobbes tells Mary and John that he can create a toxin that will kill the queen but he needs Akrida stingers to make it work. Mary knows of a human under Akrida control.
Enter Officer Jones, the policeman with the nice mustache. Busy eating doughnuts, he gets a call on the CB for roadside assistance. He’s quickly overpowered by Mary and John.
At the monthly Akrida Meeting of Minds, a group of Akrida touch on old business: the finer points of diner food (ranch dressing) AND new business: KILLING DEAN WINCHESTER.
(Yeah, that’ll never be funny, sorry guys!)
In the lab, Hobbes has Officer Jones hooked up to some heavy sedatives. Now is his chance to pay back “those bugs for what they took from [him].” Whoops, not from HIM per se, from EVERYONE. Hahaha. Pay no attention to the ring indentation on his finger.
Carlos arrives back at the motel room with ingredients for Lata’s blood spell. She’s been learning things from Tony in her dreams. Ooohlala. They’re going to extract and then erase Roxy’s memories of the Akrida.
Lata carefully paints the spell onto Roxy’s arms, and the spell ignites blue. Roxy begins to relive her memories of the Akrida attack and possession. Lata reassures her, and asks her for intel on where the Queen is hiding.
At the Clubhouse, Mary reads up on their new visitor and the MoL’s creepy monster torture lab. She discovers that the actual creator of the lab was credited as the physician’s assistant. When they look up the assistant’s file, they discover that the good-n-creepy doctor is ACTUALLY the assistant, Jack Wilcox! Furthermore, Wilcox was kicked out of the MoL for experimenting on humans (and Henry Winchester turned him in).
Mary and John stroll over to the atrium to confront Wilcox. He reads the room pretty quickly, and chucks yellow powder in their faces, knocking them out. His accent shifts from posh British to southern smarm in an instant.
At the motel, Carlos digs through Roxy’s belongings and finds a warehouse that matches Roxy’s description of the Queen’s digs. (Pun completely intended.) Lata watches over Roxy, who stirs uncomfortably. She wakes up from what is only stage one of Lata’s forgetting spell with all her trauma still fresh on her mind. Lata reassures her - stage two of the spell is coming - and starts work on it. Carlos offers her come-down tea, and sympathy. Roxy’s expression morphs from agony to determination.
“I don’t want to forget,” she tells them. She wants to remember the Akrida and the torment she went through, so she can ALSO remember that she helped to bring them down. “Time to dry out,” she mutters and grabs her stash of alcohol to pour down the sink. She also offers up her services to take down the queen, should the need arise in the future. YES!
At the Clubhouse, John’s tied up to the stairs in the Atrium. Somebody should travel back in time and tell the MoL to just cut to the chase and build a bunch of chain-cuffs at the foot of the stairs. Save some time AND some rope! The now overtly villainous Wilcox announces that Mary’s been readied for surgery. YIKES. He’s been casing the Scooby gang for a little while and set his sights on John and Mary for his victims. When Lata and Carlos took off in their “hippie van” he swooped in. Oh, and the police officer they rescued? Yeah. He died. Wilcox was more interested in retrieving the stingers than helping anyone. “Anywho,” Wilcox basically says as he strolls away, “I’m off to perform supernatural surgery on your girlfriend.”
Mary SPARKLE EYES Campbell wakes up strapped to a chair in the lab. For a moment I picture Mary Winchester from the latter seasons of Supernatural in sparkle eyeshadow. (Who among us HAS NOT worn large amounts of glitter on one’s face in their youth?) Wilcox congenially introduces Mary to the other occupant of the lab: a comatose woman who turns out to be Dorothea from the cold open, and his wife.
The Akrida took revenge on Wilcox after he was kicked out of the MoL - and took it out in their attack on Dorothea. He took her home and placed her in a suspended magical state. Instead of a true love’s kiss to wake her up, he plans to use the Akrida’s stingers to transfer Dorothea’s consciousness to Mary’s body. “There’s no world worth saving without her in it,” he argues. (I turn this over as a possible thesis statement.)
John slices his way out of his ropes, only to face a hulking golem controlled by Wilcox. In the lab, they hear the fisticuffs ensuing and Wilcox villain-drops how to defeat the golem: remove the scroll from the golem’s mouth. John’s never been up against a golem, and tries to sweet talk his way out of the fight. When he tries to knife the guy and hits stone, he rethinks his plan.
Wilcox merrily tells Mary that the golem has been instructed not to kill (or presumably severely maim) John because he intends to use John’s body for himself. So that both he AND his wife can traipse about in young, hot bodies. They’ll get revenge on the Akrida and then live their best lives. Adding an extra creep factor, he tells Mary that she won’t DIE. No, it’s SO much better. She’ll ride in the backseat of her own mind and body like some kind of relationship voyeur bonus person? Gross.
John bursts in, pursued by the golem. Mary tells him to get the scroll from his mouth and then wriggles her way out of her bindings. They fight the golem, while Wilcox frantically looks after his wife’s body (who has been unceremoniously dumped onto the floor). During the fight, the golem is beheaded and his head incinerated in the lab’s inciner-monster-inator. The golem solidifies and crushes Wilcox and his Snow White wife to death. (Boris: Yeah, um, having a golem burned in an oven is not a good look. I really have no words.)
Later, John and Mary bury them in unmarked graves in the forest. Is it their favorite unmarked gravesite? Inquiring minds want to know! Mary muses on Wilcox’s actions.
Important dialog alert!
Mary: He gave up everything. All so he wouldn’t lose Dorothea.
John: Things we do for love
Mary: ….
Mary: It’s not love
John: What do you mean?
Mary: Jack was only thinking of himself. Of what he wanted. It didn’t matter if it cost him his humanity to get it. That’ll never be us, right?
John: Never
That evening, Lata and Carlos drive. Carlos can’t believe Lata withheld her amazing memory-altering skillz from him. He would have totally asked her to erase Anton from his crush-addled mind. “But seeing Roxy choose to live with her memories of the Akrida and hearing her say she’d be okay in spite of it made me realize that sometimes the things you want to forget are probably the things you shouldn’t.” For Carlos, that’s something SWEET AND LOVELY YAAAAY.
The Mystery Machine arrives at Roxy’s warehouse. It’s looking very abandoned-warehousey, when suddenly one of the Akrida pulls up and strides inside. They found her nest!
We’re ready for an easy, triumphant conclusion, when John gets back to the garage. Kyle’s waiting for him there. “You don’t know it yet, but we’re about to get in a big fight about Mary.” Smirking, Kyle reveals that he’s been carefully setting John up. He’s been writing in his diary about John’s harassment, talking to the cops about his rap sheet, AND he just so happened to call the cops before heading to the garage. John realizes Kyle’s controlled by the Akrida. Kyle smirks and pulls out John’s knife, slicing himself. John begs him to stop, but Kyle - er, the Akrida - stabs himself in the heart.
Kyle dies as Milie arrives back at the garage. In the distance, police sirens wail.
Natasha: Augh, we’re already at episode TEN? These are going by too fast! (Shakes fist at CW)

These Quotes Go On When I Close My Eyes:
Car trouble? And on my way back from the market with a pot roast in the oven!
A normal life’s right around the corner for you, Campbell
Taking things slow and seeing faces in pancakes is for stupid, boring people who don’t have the fate of the world on their excellently proportioned shoulders
Oh, you dirty dozing tramp. Have you been seeing him in your dreams?
I guess research is just another arrow in my quiver of talents

[ID: The Josh Kirby cover of Small Gods by Terry Pratchett. It depicts Brutha, a naked monk with a tonsure haircut and a loincloth, strapped to the back of a large metal turtle with a concerned expression. Smoke is billowing from around the turtle, which is being heated by a brazier underneath. This is being looked over by Vorbis, a tall, bald man in a brown robe with a hooked nose, clawed fingernails and pitch-blank eyes. Several other monks in hooked brown robes are gathered around, including a member of the Quisition in a face-concealing, pointed red hood. Above them, an eagle is swooping down with a tortoise held in its claws. A large hand is reaching across the sky in the background and appears to be producing bolts of lightning. It's a Josh Kidby cover, so it's extremely chaotic and there are probably details I'm missing. End ID.]
Holiday reads! I decided to re-read Small Gods because I haven't read it in years and it's one of the first Discworld books I can remember feeling rewiring my brain as I read it. It involves the Great God Om, regularly referenced in other Discworld books, finding himself trapped in the form of a small one-eyed tortoise because, in all the great and vast and strict nation of Omnia, there's only one person who actually believes in Om rather than just believing in (or rather, being terrified of) the institution of Omnism. That last actual believer, Brutha, has just become a tool of the powerful and devout bishop Vorbis in a plot regarding their neighbouring nation of Ephebe, and has to navigate the edges of a war while figuring out how to get people to actually believe in Om again.
And it all meant this: that there are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal, kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.
Like when I first read this, I was in my early-teens, annoying-militant-athiest, Richard-Dawkins-quoting, taking-out-personal-Christian-based-trauma-and-frustration-by-calling-religious-people-sheep stage, and this definitely redirected me. A lot of the book spends time going: religion can be part of a community and a culture, it can inspire and motivate and support people, but your major and dangerous problems start when a) folk are more devoted to the institution than the religion itself and b) folk figure out how to use religion, and the institutions around them, as tools of self-gain and self-deification. Also, gods need believers arguably more than believers need their gods, and a god that does nothing for their believers is worthless. And there's good eating on a tortoise.
He thought: the worst thing about Vorbis isn't that he's evil, but that he makes good people do evil. He turns people into things like himself.
Every time I reread a Discworld book, I notice something new, whether it's a pun I missed before or an entire new concept. For one, I straight-up never realized that Brutha being strapped to the metal turtle to be roasted to death is meant to evoke Big J on the Cross; it only really clicked for me this time when the local Dibbler mentioned that he'd been planning to sell necklaces with a little turtle pendent on them, but he'd probably have to take the little dying dude off of them first. Definitely lends a whole new meaning to Simony arguing that they should leave Brutha to die so that he can be a martyr, a symbol of Omnian tyranny, and Urn's response being essentially "what the actual fuck is wrong with you". The other thing that clicked in my brain is that Brutha is very autistic and that's how he revives his god, heals his nation, and averts a hundred years of war, thank you and goodnight.
Fear is a strange soil. Mainly it grows obedience like corn, which grows in rows and makes weeding easy. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground.

What is Another Name for a Foundation Bolt? | Common Terms & Alternatives
If you're involved in construction or civil engineering, you’ve likely come across the term foundation bolt. But did you know that foundation bolts are often referred to by different names depending on the region, industry, or specific application? Whether you're a contractor, DIY enthusiast, or engineer, understanding the various terms associated with foundation j bolts can help you make more informed decisions when sourcing or specifying these critical components.
In this article, I’ll walk you through common names for foundation bolts, what they’re used for, and how to choose the right one for your project.
Common Names for Foundation Bolts
Foundation bolts are integral components used in construction to anchor structures like buildings, bridges, or machinery to their foundations. While foundation bolt is the most widely recognized term, several alternative names are commonly used in the industry. Here are a few terms you might encounter:
Anchor Bolts
One of the most common alternatives for foundation j bolts is anchor bolts. This term is often used interchangeably with foundation bolts because their primary purpose is to anchor a structure to its base, such as a foundation or slab.
Why it's used: Anchor bolts are critical for securing large structures to prevent movement or shifting. They come in various shapes and sizes to suit different load-bearing requirements.
Where it's used: Construction sites, machinery installations, and heavy structural work.
J-Bolts
J-bolts are another term for foundation j bolts, particularly when they are shaped like the letter "J". These bolts are bent into a J-shape at one end, allowing them to hook into the concrete or foundation for a more secure hold.
Why it's used: J-bolts are commonly used when a curved or hooked bolt is needed for more effective anchoring.
Where it's used: Concrete foundations, bridge construction, and structural foundations.
L-Bolts
L-bolts are also referred to as foundation bolts when they are designed with a 90-degree bend in the shape of the letter "L". This shape ensures a secure attachment, similar to J-bolts, but with a different style for various applications.
Why it's used: L-bolts are useful for applications where a sturdy and consistent alignment is needed, often used in steel and wooden foundations.
Where it's used: Heavy construction, steel structure anchoring, and wood foundation installations.
U-Bolts
Although U-bolts are more commonly associated with pipe and tubing installations, they can also serve as foundation bolts in specific construction settings. The "U" shape allows the bolt to encircle and hold components securely in place, especially when additional support is needed.
Why it's used: U-bolts are ideal for securing pipes, tubes, or structural supports to concrete foundations.
Where it's used: Commercial buildings, infrastructure projects, and pipeline installations.
Stud Bolts
While stud bolts are technically different from traditional foundation bolts, they are sometimes used interchangeably, especially when the fastening component involves threaded rods. These bolts can be cut to various lengths and used for a variety of anchoring purposes.
Why it's use3d: Stud bolts are often threaded at both ends and are used in applications that require flexibility in the positioning of the bolt or fastening.
Where it's used: Mechanical engineering, equipment mounting, and structural fastening.
Why Foundation Bolts are Essential in Construction
Now that you know the different names for foundation bolts, you may be wondering why these components are so essential. Let’s break it down:
Securing Structures: Foundation bolts are critical for anchoring buildings, bridges, and other heavy structures to the ground. Without the proper anchor or foundation bolt, a structure can shift or settle unevenly, which could lead to costly damages or even safety hazards.
Providing Stability: Foundation bolts offer long-term stability by ensuring that structural elements stay securely in place. Whether it’s a J-type foundation bolt or an anchor bolt, these fasteners keep your building steady and resistant to environmental forces like wind, earthquakes, or soil movement.
Ensuring Safety: A properly installed foundation bolt contributes to the overall safety of the structure. Whether you’re using a U-bolt, L-bolt, or stud bolt, these fasteners prevent accidents that might occur from an unstable foundation.
Types of Foundation Bolts
To ensure you are using the correct foundation bolt, it’s important to know the different types available and their specific uses. Here’s a quick overview:
Anchor Bolts: Generally used for securing structural components to foundations, available in various shapes such as J-bolts, L-bolts, or U-bolts.
J-Type Foundation Bolts: These are designed with a hook at one end to anchor the bolt securely into the concrete. Ideal for foundation work where the bolt needs to hook into the slab for stability.
L-Bolts: Similar to J-bolts, but the bend is at a 90-degree angle, making them great for installations where the bolt needs to hold something at a right angle.
U-Bolts: Typically used to secure pipes or tubes to foundations, these bolts are useful when you need to form a tight loop around objects.
Stud Bolts: These threaded bolts can be used when adjustable lengths are required, making them versatile for a range of applications.
Conclusion
Whether you call it a foundation bolt, anchor bolt, J-bolt, or any of the other names mentioned, the key takeaway is this: foundation bolts are essential for ensuring the integrity and stability of a structure.
When you’re choosing a foundation bolt, make sure to:
Consider the type of structure you are securing (e.g., a building, bridge, or machine).
Select the right shape based on whether you need a hook (like J-bolts) or a straight connection (like L-bolts or U-bolts).
Understand the material options (such as stainless steel shims or shim washers) that will work best for your environmental conditions, such as exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
Knowing the different terms used for foundation bolts can help you communicate more effectively in the construction industry. Whether you are working with shim washers, precut shims, foundation bolts, or anchor bolt manufacturers, understanding their terminology and applications ensures you make the right decisions for your projects.

Bolt Types Explained: Which One Is Right for Your Next Project?
Bolts are one of the most critical components in engineering, construction, and various other industries. Whether you're working on a small home improvement project or a large-scale industrial job, choosing the right bolt is essential for ensuring the safety, stability, and longevity of your project. Each bolt type serves a unique purpose, and understanding their distinctions can make all the difference in your project’s success. In this guide, we’ll explore the different types of bolts and help you determine which one is right for your next project.
The Structure of a Bolt
Before diving into specific bolt types, it’s important to understand the basic anatomy of a bolt. Every bolt consists of three key components: the head, the shank, and the thread.
Head: The part of the bolt that allows a tool to apply torque. Common head types include hex, round, and flat heads.
Shank: The unthreaded section of the bolt that provides the necessary length for the bolt to hold objects together.
Thread: The spiral grooves that allow the bolt to be screwed into a nut or pre-threaded hole.
These components work together to provide the mechanical force needed to secure objects, and the variation in their design allows bolts to be specialized for different applications.
Common Bolt Types and Their Uses
Hex Bolts
Hex bolts are among the most versatile and widely used bolts in construction and machinery. They are recognized by their hexagonal heads and are commonly used for fastening wood and metal. Their versatility makes them a go-to choice for many builders and engineers.
Carriage Bolts
Carriage bolts feature a smooth, rounded head, making them ideal for applications where aesthetics and safety are important, such as in furniture construction. The square section underneath the head prevents the bolt from rotating as the nut is tightened.
Lag Bolts
Lag bolts are heavy-duty fasteners, typically used in wood applications. Their large size and coarse threads make them ideal for projects requiring a strong hold, such as securing beams or posts in construction projects.
Anchor Bolts
Used to attach objects or structures to concrete, anchor bolts are critical in securing foundations. They are often used in applications like building bridges or mounting heavy equipment to concrete floors.
Eye Bolts
Eye bolts feature a looped head, making them perfect for lifting and rigging tasks. These bolts are often used in marine and construction applications where securing ropes or chains is necessary.
Specialty Bolts for Unique Applications
When it comes to unique and highly specialized applications, the standard bolt types often don't cut it. Specialty bolts are designed to meet specific challenges, offering enhanced performance, durability, or functionality in specialized conditions. Let's explore some of the most common specialty bolts and their uses.
Flange Bolts
Flange bolts come with a built-in washer-like flange at the base of the head. This feature helps distribute the pressure of the bolt over a larger surface area, reducing the likelihood of damage to the material being fastened. Flange bolts are particularly useful in automotive and machinery applications where vibration and movement can loosen standard bolts over time. The flange provides a more secure grip, helping to prevent loosening in high-stress environments.
J-Bolts
Named after their characteristic "J" shape, J-bolts are designed to be embedded in concrete or other materials to secure objects in place. Their hooked end makes them ideal for structural applications, such as anchoring walls, columns, and other large structures to their foundations. J-bolts are commonly used in the construction of bridges, buildings, and large-scale infrastructure projects.
U-Bolts
U-bolts are shaped like the letter "U" and are primarily used to hold pipes, tubes, or other cylindrical objects in place. These bolts are particularly useful in plumbing, automotive, and HVAC systems, where they are used to secure pipes to ceilings, walls, or other surfaces. U-bolts can also be found in marine applications, securing boat masts or other cylindrical components.

👁️👁️ joker x yn who gets exposed for having connections with Batman
Please
Hey hi anon! 🖤✨
I HEARD YOUR CRY! Now you didn’t specify what kind of connection sooo I took liberty of making up one on the fly. I can’t in good conscience say this is canon within His Lighthouse lol. Joker would lose the last shred of his sanity if it were. Enjoy!!
Edit: If you wish to read the full oneshot bearing the same name, here's the link! It does have a trigger warning advisory.
This was not how you wanted Joker to be angry with you. You expected him to be upset about your limited edition box set not coming out until the fall or about you hogging all the cover at night.
Not about your extremely old photo-op with the one and only Batman circulating the web again
It literally was a long story and definitely a lot more tamer than what Joker was making it out to be
So what if you had an old selfie with Gotham City’s Dark Knight floating around the web?
So what if the caped crusader was rather handsy with his hand resting wayy too low on your back or that you were licking the cowl and the caption was quite suggestive?
#Leathertastesfunny but #Ihadworse Okay so maybe it was bad. 👀
Joker stumbled across the old pic when a fan reblogged it with a comment. “Wait, does this mean Y/n is smashing Batman?” Then he scrolled and saw the most recent pic that you totally forgot about taking months ago!!
Who knew Batman was so dirty? You were walking back from an outing and almost got into a nasty situation if not for Batman swooping in to save the day
He flirted with you after saving the damsel in distress again; “the leather shouldn’t taste funny anymore”, he mentioned and you laughed and called his bluff (5/10 not bad)
You offered to take another selfie to commemorate the heroic moment. You were not expecting Batman to back you in the wall and grind his hips into yours. Your thumb slipped and oops…
#Themaskstayson okay so yeah um.. the selfie got quite the buzz. Batman was all but f__king you in the alleyway or at least that’s what the photo suggested.
Your airy smile peaking over Batman’s shoulder with your legs wrapped around his slutty little waist all but confirmed it. Yeah it looked bad
And naturally Joker. Flipped. His. Ish.
“J-J… it happened way before you and I even met!”
Why did you say that? Like that small fact made things any better.
You saw Joker’s eye twitch. The date was right there on the post. It was two days before you and him met in Chinatown but STILL it was too close in Joker’s mind. You were his.
He saw nothing but red. You hooked up with THE Batman, his mortal enemy? Was it just a one (twice) time thing or prolonged occurrences?
HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?
“Did ya f__k him?” Joker growled.
You played with your fingers and looked away. Silence was worse than answering but J had to know.
“I won’T repeat myself, Y/n. Yes or no.”
Cue your stuttering.
“I uhh, well I mean yes but no? It wasn’t a p-in-v if that’s what you’re asking but I did consider it! I have a mask kink okay?! I was curious! I-I mean.. have you seen the man?” You winced when Joker growled.
Alright, not the best confession to say to your psychotic possessive lover, especially since Joker and Batman were bitter rivals.
It was like the ultimate betrayal in J’s eyes. You considered having sex with Batman. Can’t take that back. You started to slowly back away.
“If I were you, I’d run too bunny. Cuz when I catch ya… mmhhm. When I get my handsss on you. I’m gonna ruin you.” Joker was shaking with rage. “One.”
You squeaked in fear and bolted from the room. You tried turning the corner but your momentum made you crash into the wall.
“Two…” You panicked hearing the countdown continue and scrambled to your feet. You made it down the hallway right as Joker said, “Three.”
He casually stood to his feet and stalked your tracks straight into the bedroom.
You thought locking the door was gonna save you? How cute. He broke it open and came to a stop right in front of the closet door. He could smell fear on you and a tinge of arousal. Gods above, he loved you.
“Now I wonder…. where oh where could my little slut be?” He sang out knowing you were in shambles inside.
You were sending a quick prayer upward right as Joker ripped the doors off the hinges and dragged you out by your ankle. Your screams were music to his ears.
#poor y/n#she’s gonna be sore in the morning#joker is not playing around#put her in a wheelchair#to be continued#time to get dark#dark!joker#thanks anon!#thanks for the ask!#ledger joker x reader#joker x y/n#joker x reader#ledger joker#heath joker#reader insert#head canon#batman#joker x you#joker x black!reader#heath ledger joker x reader#heath ledger!joker#ledger!joker

The Sunshine Convention- S/T (Cardinal Telephone)
The tip on this new record came from my pal Rich who thought I’d like it and he was right. I think it’s basically the work of one guy from Brooklyn (“written, performed and mixed by J. Whitener”), but apparently, he/they have a show coming up so there’s a live version of the band as well (and I see a band pic down below).
The first thing I noticed while listening was echoes of GBV (think Bee Thousand or Alien Lanes…..and hey, I hear the new brand new GBV album is very good…got to check out it out) as well as some Cotton Mather and even some early Superchunk.
Anyway, the songs are definitely there. …The first 3 or 4 definitely add large chunks of fuzz and distortion to the proceedings (especially the great “Pilot," I love the hook in that song) while he gets a bit sentimental on the, dare I say, almost tender “A Soft Bullet In” (see what he did there?). Later on “Sister Judy” twists and turns in the fast lane and “101” is a nice little bolt of fresh lightning.
Only a few songs on here lost my interest, but most of this S/T effort are worth your time and money. So give Mr. Whitener some of your dough, he’ll appreciate it and so will you. Plus we’d all like to hear more.

5 Types Of Anchor Bolts In The Market
Anchor Bolt:
Anchor bolts fasten structural components to concrete structures and secure them. In general, anchor bolts are used to fasten structural elements, equipment, and skids to concrete. The anchor bolts have one end that is buried in the concrete and the other end that is left exposed.
It is actually a stud constructed of two adjoined pieces, one-piece is threaded at the top end and the other end consists of a process that includes a wedge and clip that is expanded between the stud and the wall of the hole in the concrete.

Headed Anchor Bolts:
Construction fasteners known as headed anchor bolts have a head on the non-threaded end. In order to secure a steel column, beam, bolt, rail, or other structural part in place, this end is placed into concrete or masonry.
Wedge Anchor Bolt:
Consideration made by wedge anchor bolt manufacturers in India: The diameter of the wedge anchor should match the diameter of the holes that are drilled into the concrete.
Additionally, it is only used for solid concrete; it cannot be used with stone, mortar, brick, etc.
