-Nick, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to-
I tried to explain, but he interrupted me before I could, tossing his phone on his pocket.
-Yes, you fucking did! And honestly, I don't care, it's none of my business.
He raises his hands in defense, looking at me with a clear look of disappointment and disapproval.
-If you still think like that it's only bad for you considering you're definitely not his type anyways. -He shrugs, making me furrow my eyebrows, completely taken aback by his words.
-Oh. -It's the only thing I managed to say.
We looked at each other in silence, his eyes softening when he realized that the way he said it might've been too harsh.
โบโ‚Šโ‹† 3rd person โบโ‚Šโ‹†
With his emotions mixed and the tension of the moment, Nick's mind processed mean thoughts that walked along the lines "whatever, it's not like she's good enough to make him like her", which was selfish. The only reason he didn't want her to still be into Matt was that he didn't want to lose her friendship. And he sounded mad, with the same sarcastic tone he used when he was talking about things he hates.
You didn't even need to process the next steps, it was an automatic move to turn around and leave. The whole situation runned through your mind over and over again and you just couldn't find a reasonable explanation of what happened. He looked so mad at you just because he found out an old twitter account of yours and he happened to read about your old crush on Matt.
It wasn't that serious. Before y'all met and became friends, you were a fan. They didn't seem to mind, it just made things easier. You liked their content, you were excited to be around them and you made a good impression. Never seemed to be a problem, so you didn't make an effort to erase all the things you said when you were just someone behind the screen watching their car videos at random fridays.
You didn't use that account for almost a year now, you created a new one and never talked about it anymore, so it was hard to assimilate that you had another one before. But Nick somehow found it, and he wasn't pleased to see that you were a loyal Matt girl.
To be fair, you did say some weird things. Not bad, but definitely... explicit. You used to like Matt's personality, the way he was mostly calm, but made his point whenever he was done with being interrupted, the way he looked at the camera like you were there with them, the way his tattoos looked, his veins, his smirk, his expressions, his cute laugh and how intense his eyes seemed to be even through the screen.
It was unrealistic to think that some day you'd even talk to him. To any of those three. But when it happened, and you found yourself growing a nice and healthy friendship with them, all those thoughts were left behind and you no longer felt that way about Matt.
At least, that's what you thought. You didn't even remembered that you once said so many explicit things about Matt, but for you it was all in the past, so when Nick brought it back up you felt terrified.
He wasn't exactly mad, you were all adults and if you wanted to fuck Matt it was none of his business, but he was so sure he'd lose you somehow to his brother if you did that he was selfish enough to make it look like you weren't good enough to.
Of course he talked to you in private, calling you to his room and showing you some screenshots of your old tweets. You were so pale, like you've just seen a ghost. You didn't know how he managed to find that account, he doesn't even have an account of his own, but he was showing you things you didn't remember but were definitely wrote by you.
You tried and tried to apologize, but he wouldn't listen. You were heartbroken when you realized you probably screwed up your friendship with him. And not only with him, but definitely with his brothers too.
You walked away from his room, knowing it'd be useless talking to him in this state. If you were lucky maybe he'd calm down and text you, but it wasn't up to you to go after him.
โบโ‚Šโ‹† end of 3rd person โบโ‚Šโ‹†
Driving back home after knowing I probably fucked things up is something I've never thought I'd be doing. It's so hard to understand that things I've said in the past got in between my friendship with one of the best friends I've ever had. It's even harder to stay patient and wait. I want so badly to know if it's all over or if I still have a chance to be friends with him.
After parking on the garage, I walked up the stairs to my apartment, locking myself in and taking a deep breath. The tears rolled down my cheeks immediately. My heart was in pain and the first thing I did when I sat on my bed was deleting that stupid account.
I thought about texting Matt, not knowing if Nick was going to mention it to him, but trying to avoid making things worse. Although I wanted to do something, my body couldn't find the motivation to. It was already ruined, so fuck it, right?
I ended up crying myself to sleep, and when I last checked there was no sign of texts or calls from Nick, or Matt, or anyone really.
I woke up late. Still no calls, no texts, no nothing. I sigh, frustrated, and walked to my bathroom, doing my routine. I looked terrible, my eyes were puffy and slightly red, I wanted to cry again just by looking at me on the mirror, but before I could the door bell rings. My heartbeats race and I take large steps to the front door, opening it.
-I'm sorry. -He whispers.
Nick looked equally tired and upset, his expressions way different than yesterday's. I was somehow speechless, even though I wanted so bad to say something. He steps forward, rubbing his face.
-I was selfish and acted like a bad friend and I'm sorry. -He says, closing the door behind him and dropping his space camp tote bag on the floor.
-It's okay. -I whisper back, giving him a small smile.
-No, it's not. -He shakes his head, running his hand through his hair. -I was scared that if you and Matt got together you'd stop spending time with me and I actually enjoy your company so I acted like a lunatic.
I giggle at his choice of words, wiping a single tear off my cheek. He smiles softly, pulling me into a hug.
-I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I said, I have no fucking clue what Matt's type is, and you're amazing so he'd be crazy not to want you back.
I hug him back, resting my chin on his shoulder and closing my eyes. We don't hug that often, so I was glad to embrace him and know that he was being honest.
-I would never stop spending time with you, you're my best friend, Nick. -I say, pulling back from the hug. -And I'm really not into Matt anymore.
He laughs, making me laugh too. He walks to the couch, throwing himself on it and sighning loudly.
-Well, too bad, he was the one who showed me the tweets and wanted me to know if you're still a "Matt girl." -He shrugs, making air quotes and getting the remote to turn on the tv.
My mouth drops in a giant 'O' shape, disbelieving his words and surprised with them.
-What?!

stupid | jake peralta
Tumblr media
a/n: apparently gina's character has haters...
summary: he's an idiot, and you can't help but worry for him.
warnings: cursing, petty y/n (sorry in advance)
pairing: fem!reader x jake peralta (enemies but lovers)
word count: 2.5k+ words
Tumblr media
"no, because you're an idiot!"
"i had him!" jake argues back. look at him, thinking he's all smart and crap.
"you quite literally did not," you throw your hands up, exasperated, "he would've blown off your head!"
"he wouldn't have! i would've talked him down!"
"oh, yeah, because you're just so charming," your voice oozes with sarcasm.
"i'll have you know that i am, in fact, quite charming."
"i don't want to even know what your definition of charming is."
"it's-"
"i said i don't want to know. and that's not even the point. how did we get here?"
"because you claimed-"
"it was rhetorical! the point is that you were being stupid and reckless!"
"what about you? is there, like, no trust in this relationship? fine, i might've been a little... but- but it doesn't matter! i could've got him! he wouldn't have shot me."
"yes, he-"
"nuh-uh!"
"yeah!"
"nu-"
"look, peralta. for once in your life, think with your head, not your junk."
he paused, squinting an eye, "uh, spontaneousness is... hot?"
"having my partner bleeding out on the ground, and i hate to break it to you, is not hot."
"subjective."
"it's really not."
"that's also subjective."
"what's also subjective?"
"your opinion on the subjectiveness is subjective, 'kay?"
you pinch the bridge of your nose. "jacob-"
"'jacob'?" he whines. "that's never good."
"-it's not even about your stupid, rash decisions. i'm your partner for this case. you can't just- just go off without me. we work together, you know that. storming into an active crime scene - mind you, with armed shooters-"
"well, if they're shooter, aren't they already armed?"
you give him a look (the millionth one that day). "jake, i am not kidding. and honestly, you shouldn't be either. this whole," you vaugely gesture to him, "childish personality was cute at first, but i'm getting real damn sick of it. grow. up. everyone already has. it's your turn," you jab him in the chest with your finger, jaw clenched.
"okay, wait, so it's not hot?" he calls to you as you storm out. he wasn't really expecting an answer, but jake was disappointed anyways.
you do your best to avoid him the rest of the week, and yes, the silent treatment is petty, but he needs to know you're being legit about this. otherwise, he'll never get it.
you don't want him to get over-confident and pull crap like that. up until now, someone's always had his back.
but what if one day, they just don't?
Tumblr media
"mm, i'm thinking there's a little trouble in paradise," gina says, pointing at you, then jake from across the bar.
another case had just been solved, and it was a big one. and who doesn't like to get shit-faced drunk?
not many people, actually.
and, hey, maybe this is what you need. a chance to loosen up, and just for once, not think about that fight.
a chance to loosen up by sulking alone is what you mean, not gina prodding you about your relationship problems.
"okay, well, you go take that big brain of yours and think somewhere else."
"or - and hear me out - you tell me what's going on. i think we should go with the latter."
you sigh, is there any way you're getting out of this? you peer over her shoulder, trying to find amy.
"it's no use, my friend," she says, "we are offically on drink three amy."
"aw, man." from past experience, third drink amy was not helpful amy. you think you like helpful amy better.
much, much better.
especially now.
"now, spilll."
"ugh, fine," you say, as you down another two shots. if you're gonna talk about this, you're gonna need some background help.
"ooh, and she's going down from there," gina whispers.
"jake was being stupid, i got mad at jake for being stupid, jake is mad at me - because, and get this, he thinks i'm the stupid one!" you scoff, "i mean, come on! like, sorry i saved your ass, my bad. won't happen again!"
when you look over at him, he's talking with terry. completely unaffected! it's like, how dare he.
"oh, my god. gina, do you see that? look. at. him." he's laughing with terry and charles, as if nothing ever happened. you did not spend an entire week being petty for nothing.
you grind your teeth and turn back to the bar.
"i'll be honest with you, i have a feeling he doesn't realize you're mad at him."
"i've been avoiding him... all week."
"uh, you might have to step up your game."
"or don't do that," rosa says from beside you, making you jump.
"when did you even get here?" you splutter.
"i'm a good cop."
"or just a really scary ninja," you mutter.
gina tilts her head, "yeah, but if you're over here, who's watching amy?"
rosa blinks, "jake, i guess."
you've never almost snapped your neck that hard. you narrow your eyebrows, "four drink amy."
"is she..." gina pauses, "dirty-talking him?"
"she's drunk," rosa reminds you, to which you nod. "yeah, duh, of course. i can see that. um, very well."
gina cackles, "now, it's how jake responds - that's what matters."
"this is the saddest thing thing i've seen all day."
you shoo her, not looking her direction, "shhh, rosie." she swats your hand away, but you're too busy to notice.
"y/n, he's literally getting her water."
"damn him for being such a gentleman," you mutter.
"jake? gentleman? isn't his sense of humor literally just poop jokes?" you ignore gina's remark too.
you watch charles gently guide amy to a booth in the back, and then your attention is back on jake.
jake and the hot blonde beside him.
gina nods, "and the plot thickens."
"god," you scowl, "look at her with her prada. i hate rich people."
diaz snorts, "think you might be projecting there?"
"definitely," you tell her.
"it looks like small talk, y/n."
"who's side you on, diaz?"
she puts her hands up in mock surrender. "no one's. i'm just doing you a favor by not feeding into your delusions."
"where's sober amy when you need her?" you groan.
"what would you need her for?"
"lip-reading, duh."
"...right," rosa blinks.
you whine, "holdling grudges are so hard."
"they really aren't," diaz shrugs.
"why can't he just be not dumb? do you know how much easier that would make my life. hint: much, much, easier. like, scale out of to ten; 12, easier."
"terry has a wife, right?"
"is that rhetorical? or are you really asking? because he never shuts up about his wife and kids."
"do you think-" you start.
"that he could help you figure out what's happening between the two of you?" a deeper voice says.
"god!" you exclaim, "you guys just come out of nowhere!"
"well, terry would love to help you."
"okay, first, i was gonna say 'help me by talking sense into him', not have a couple's counseling."
"i think you should talk to him," terry says.
"no, no, you should talk to him. he totally started this."
"what happened?"
you frown, "n-"
"nothing is not a valid answer. because, trust me, everyone at the precinct know it's something."
"everyone?" you squeak.
"everyone," he confirms.
"i second that," rosa adds, "you guys are normally on top of each other."
"...yeah," gina winces, recalling the storage room incident.
"you really think i should just talk to him?"
"i do."
you tug your bottom lip between your teeth, debating this. "i just... i feel like if i talk to him... he'll automatically think i'm okay with it. like i'm letting it go or something."
terry gives you one of those looks, "maybe that's why you should talk to him."
you pause for a moment longer, before deciding he's right.
ignoring him has done nothing, which is the opposite of what you're intent was. you want everything to be okay again, so maybe the silent treatment isn't the right thing.
you have to try somthing else.
and, by the looks of it, it's talking to him.
you slid off the barstool, playing with the end of your hair as you approach him.
maybe if you'd gotten up a little earlier, as his girlfriend, that stupid blonde wouldn't think it was okay to shamelessly flirt with him. you raise an eyebrow as she rest a hand on his bicep, and he does nothing to stop her.
does he not realize she's clearly feeling him up?
you turn back to your small group of friend, giving them a look that says "what now?".
before any of them can respond, someone taps your shoulder. "jesus! what's with scaring the shit out of me today?"
you except it to be hitchcock or scully so you can let some hot air out by screaming at them. it is not in fact either of those to.
standing in front of you is the literal definition of tall, dark, and handsome. "i'm a good cop!" you blurt.
"sorry if i startled you," oh god, he's british too.
if you weren't dating jake, you'd be all over this guy. but honestly, he doesn't hold a candle to your boyfriend.
but... does he know that?
you put on a polite smile as you shake your head. "no, i'm all good."
"cool, then," he remarks, leaning against the slab of the bar. okay, okay, slick. "one kamikaze, please." the man turns to look at you, "mind if i get you something?"
"sure," you brush a strand of hair behind your ear. "i'll have..." you scrunch up your nose, "the same thing."
"it's a margarita. just vodka instead."
"pft, i knew that."
he laughs, and it feels so... practiced. like he's done it a thousand times before, nothing but for stage presence. your eyes flit over him, and by his watch, you can tell that just might be the case.
"vincent, by the way." man, rich person name too.
"y/n," you say, shaking his hand. "nice to meet you."
"wow, pretty name for a pretty girl."
you pretend to giggle, squeezing his arm gently. how cliched was that line?
"you're so sweet." you can see jake seething at vincent, and you give him nothing but a petty look.
his attention is clearly not on the girl anymore, and it's just the way you like it.
you decide to indulge in this further, "where you from, pretty boy?" wait, was that too much? too late.
he chuckles, "london, sweets."
"oh, wow. what're you doing all the way over here?"
"ah, just work things."
"really? what's your job?"
"v.p. for a finance company. you?"
"nypd," you say.
"interesting."
you blink, "why?"
"i just- well, you don't see too many female cops. it's more of a... male-dominated thing, you know? and for good reason, i bet," he laughs like it's this insanely funny thing, and you follow along.
"hey, baby," jake comes up beside you, arm around your waist.
"oh, so now i'm 'baby'."
vincent looks from you to him, then back at you.
"you've always been 'baby'!"
"have i? because you looked like you forgot that, over with that blondie."
"are you serious? i wasn't even-"
"great," vincent mutters.
"she's was flirting with you!"
"she really wasn't!"
you give him a look. "okay, so maybe she was, but i swear i didn't know. like, she asked me about that dimond heist! and it's the coolest story to tell!"
"c'mon, you really didn't know? you always know!"
"what's that supposed to mean?"
"it means you can't keep it in your pants and, for some reason, you're proud of it!"
"what about you? you, and i know for a fact, were all giggly with this guy!"
"i think i'll be heading out-"
"don't you dare even move, vinny."
"seriously? vinny?" jake scoffs.
"and i was only over here because i thought you were flirting with her!"
"so it's some stupid, petty, misunderstanding?"
"stupid? oh-ho, you want stupid, jakey? what's stupid is trying to take on an armed criminal while unarmed."
"god, this again? i told you i had it!"
"guys!" you call to rosa and boyle, "enlighten us - him - did jake really 'have it'?"
neither of them respond. in fact, charles finds the rim of his shot glass very interesting.
"that's what i thought," you say, finishing your shot and slamming it down.
you march right out, and it's not until you make it out that you realize you rallied the attention of everyone in there.
a part of you feels really stupid, but another part is just mad. why doesn't he get that his actions have consequences?
"y/n?"
you quickly wipe away your tears.
"go away. i'm going home," you rummage through your purse for keys. you may have forgotten that you drove here.
"no, you're not. you're intoxinated."
"fuck off."
"it would've been so much cooler if you said 'fuck you'."
"wh- oh, my god."
"sorry, sorry! look, you're right. i didn't want to admit it before, but you are."
"because of your hero complex?"
"i don't- oh."
"yeah," you sniff.
"hey," he says, pulling you in for a hug. he smells like jake, like home. not your house, your home. resting his chin on the top of your head, you're tucked into his neck. "i didn't even know she was f-"
"jake, it's not about her. you know that."
he sighs, "i just don't get it. i mean, it's my job. and my job is dangerous."
"yeah, and you're right. the hostage thing was dangerous, but it didn't have to be that dangerous. if you would've given me just two minutes, i would've been there. i could've helped. you didn't need to do all that."
"what if in that two minutes, they hurt someone?"
"they were so obviously busy. they wouldn't have done anything. they were... dumb. and you just wanted to make your 'cool enterance'."
"okay, yeah, that was part of the reason. but i needed you to trust me."
"and i needed you to keep me in the loop. you just went, i mean, i didn't even find out until you were there."
"alright, i'm sorry. but i'm okay. i'll always be, right? because i've got you," he pauses, "that was cute, right?"
you pull away, "i might not always be there. you got lucky! jake, you... you could've died." your voice breaks, and you don't do anything to conceal it.
"aww, hey," he coos, bringing you back in. "i'm... i'm sorry. seriously, i really am. i didn't know you were worried about that. i thought you were just mad at me for keeping you... in the dark, a little."
"of course i was worried, jakey. you're my boyfriend, and i love you. i don't- i don't know what i'd do if you died out there. so, maybe in hindsight, dating my co-worker wasn't a good a idea."
"i'll be more careful from now on, i promise. it won't happen again," jake finishes, kissing your forehead. "and i love you too."
"okay," you sigh, content.
"does this mean we can have hot, angsty make-up sex?"
"why would it be angsty?"
"is that a no?"

just thinking about blitz and fizz hanging out more after fm/at
honestly blitz's relationship drama is probably such a help to rebuilding their own relationship - like, theyre probably both eaten up with guilt over the past, ofc blitz will always feel guilt over the fire, but fizz's body is literally a constant reminder, every time he looks at him he sees the result of what he did. but also fizz now knows that blitz never actually abandoned him, and imagine the guilt that could eat you up from spending the past 15 years hating your best friend over a LIE, and how do you make up for that? how do you move on form that? can you just go on? and how do you reconcile who they are today with who they were back then? after 15 years they have to relearn the nuances of each other, and find out what's the same and what has changed... it's a lot, is what i'm getting at. there's a lot of pressure and a lot of bittersweetness to their reunion...
but then blitz calls him drunk one night and starts spilling about everything that happened with stolas. and fizz invites him over, and he uses the gd crystal to just be there and fall into fizz's arms and just like that they're back, the pressure is off of their past because there's a real problem to deal with together now, and they can just focus on who they are to each other NOW.
and now fizz keeps inviting blitz over to watch their favorite movies, or to have dinner with him and ozzie (he even invites loona, but loona declines). he's trying to keep blitz occupied because he knows how to take care of blitz, even after 15 years, how to take care of this man is ingrained in his soul. and blitz lets fizz take care of him because its the most familiar thing in his life right now.
the day after the antarctica mission, he showed up to fizz & ozzie's place still lowkey fuming. he doesn't use the crystal to get there at all, he's mad at it. when he gets there, though, he holds his wrist out to fizz and says "its broken"
and fizz looks at it. and he calls ozzie in. and ozzie looks at it. and asks why blitz thinks it's broken, and blitz tells them that it's temperamental and it wasn't working for him at all and it nearly got them killed thank you very fucking much. and ozzie and fizz share a look and start snickering. and blitz is very annoyed, asks what they're laughing at. ozzie just hands him the crystal back and assures him that it's not broken.
"what do you mean it's not broken? did you hear me? are you listening?"
and ozzie turns to fizz, "i'll let you handle this one, froggie" and he leaves and blitz is pretty much fuming from his ears at this point and fizz puts his arm around blitz's shoulder and calmly explains it exactly as millie had earlier. these are asmodean crystals, this is how they work, and maybe it's not the crystal at fault... but maybe a certain... drop in confidence...
and blitz puts up all the walls, pulls out all the masks, assures fizz that there is no lack of confidence here, he's not been affected at all by recent events! no way, he is still horny as fuck and retains all of his sexual prowess.
fizz sees right through all of that because he was there when blitz made half of these masks, he can see the cracks, and he's half-sure he can dig his way between them to get to the root of this. there was always the risk of a new wall being put up in a familiar gap, but maybe it was worth the risk. so he pries, makes a few heartless digs to crack blitz's walls, and eventually it all crumbles and blitz is flinging himself across fizz's lap as if they were teenagers again.
"maybe i have been... a little off my game. so what? this thing's not gonna work until i'm - what? drowning in pussy?"
"well, then it would never work -" blitz glares at fizz at that and fizz takes it in stride "- you just need to rebuild that confidence"
"what, like that stupid fucking saying, 'get over someone by getting under someone else'?"
"you're not 'over' him?" blitz sits up and shoves fizz's shoulder, half-hearted, but he doesn't deny it. he doesn't say anything, so fizz continues. "maybe it would help to be with someone else, or -"
"are you offering?" blitz interrupts, trying to win ground back by leaning into fizz's space with a smirk. fizz puts a hand on his forehead and shoves him away.
"not while you're this lovesick -- or, just... spend a night with yourself."
"what? like...?"
"do i really need to spell it out for you, blitz"
blitz says he does. so fizz does, and he sends blitz home with a few new... treats to help him rekindle his connection with himself. blitz is glad loona's out at another party because it may not fix everything, but it is another good distraction.
fizz also likes hearing about blitz's missions, to an extent. he's still not as excited by the blood and guts and gore of it all like blitz is, but he likes hearing what blitz is up to. they have a nice old bitch-fest about emberlynne, fizz is laughing the entire time that blitz is recounting that night.
and hanging out with fizz means spending time with ozzie, and ozzie doesn't quite know what to make of blitz. he and fizz talk about it a lot, because fizz is worried about him, and maybe he wonders if they should meddle just a bit because obviously stolas and blitz just need to really TALK. they're misunderstanding each other, and maybe they could be the little push they need... but ozzie reminds fizz that they can't force anything and as frustrating as it is, they have to let these two idiots figure it out for themselves.
but for blitz, his time with fizz is more than just distraction. it's healing, in a way. and it's filling part of the gap stolas left, the part where blitz got to spend time with someone he cares about, and just listen to them and learn about them and tuck little bits of information away for later in case they're ever important. like fizz's favorite snacks now, which he'll sometimes pick up before heading over. they don't often talk about their past or the fire or anything that could potentially open a wound they're not ready to deal with... but blitz does notice moments that fizz talks with his hands... and he eventually asks because of how frequently the gestures are the same.
and fizz does dip back in the past for a moment, just enough to tell blitz how the fireworks going off had impacted his hearing. his hearing had mostly come back, like he can be okay without anything, but Ozzie actually made him hearing aids, too. but he learned sign language, too, because when it first happened he thought that was all he'd have. and it just sticks with him still, sometimes.
and blitz started to pick up a few, he'd ask sometimes, but others were a little more obvious. he saw fizz & ozzie exchange one, a gesture that reminded blitz of a bull's head or 'rock on', several times before he finally asked about it and fizz explained the 'I', 'L', 'Y' - blitz wants to vomit when fizz tells him how they'll often sign that to each other across a room or wherever just as a recognition of the other. it's so goddamn sweet that blitz is simultaneously seething with envy and bursting with pride at how happy fizz is.
the more time they spend together, the easier it feels to slip right back to how they were as teens. even adjusting for the obvious shifts in their personalities, it's not difficult. fizz is more confident, forward, and proud now, but he'll often retreat back into himself, look at blitz with those soft eyes, and gave up on hiding what a soft sack of sap he truly is. fizz feels like the opposite is true for blitz, there are so many more walls now, there's so much he's afraid of, but the more they fall into the familiarity of the other, the more that old blitz starts to come back out. and old blitz used to talk about his feelings, at least a little bit. more than present-day blitz. and fizz starts to break that down, too. starts to get blitz to admit aloud how much stolas means to him, how bad he feels for fucking it up...
fizz is trying so hard to lead this horse to water so he can drink.
but yeah. just thinking about themโ„ข

Here is the thing:
I think one of the writersโ€™ past mistakes was making Eddie and Buck a duo a bit too much.
Now, please! Let me explain.
This choice was sort of an inevitable one because of the rest of the mains - Chim and Maddie come in a package, and so do Hen and Karen, and Bobby and Athena. Natural, as they are all couples. That left Buck and Eddie from the mains, so in turn that meant that, more often than not, they were paired up. Which in itself works, as they are best friends, but it also backfired on them a little bit.
Itโ€™s not as evident with Buck, as he hangs out plenty with other characters, but 90% of Eddieโ€™s time that he doesnโ€™t spend with Chris is either with Buck, or in a minor dosis, Carla. Thatโ€™s what made Buck and Eddie - BuckandEddie. And why having new LI fit was hard, because they not only had to fit with their LI, but also in a way fit, or work with, the other side of that package. Something even OS has said.
With Ana they didnโ€™t even make an effort - I do believe it was influenced by COVID restrictions, but Buck and her barely had any scenes, and even in S5 it didnโ€™t feel like they knew each other. Buck definitely liked her and wanted the best for her, but it didnโ€™t feel like he was familiar with his best friendโ€™s girlfriend.
With Taylor - I think an attempt was made. But even in S4 Eddie was feeling excluded whenever it was the three of them, and Taylorโ€™s presence felt shoehorned in whenever they were the three of them together. Likewise, Buck had naturally more solo scenes with her, so that put the Buddie friendship to the background a tiny bit, and while it wasnโ€™t horrible, it didnโ€™t completely work.
Natalia, Iโ€™m sorry, itโ€™s just - not worth mentioning tbh. I didnโ€™t hate her, but she was Buckโ€™s most undeveloped LI, so there is barely a thing to work with her.
Marisol somehow falls into the same category as Ana. It felt like Buck barely knew her, and I donโ€™t know if it was the direction or acting choices, but during 705 it truly felt like that was one of the first handful of interactions between the two. Which felt a bit weird considering Eddie and her had been together for months at thar point. Regardless - Buddie scenes didnโ€™t go down, really. Yes we do have Eddie neglecting Buck in ep4, but overall, season 7 was really good for their friendship.
So. That brings us to their issue. Where they need a LI that doesnโ€™t feel shoehorned in, but also that can be the other half of one of them for some of the scenes off work (like Madney, Henren, and Bathena). A LI that can be that but doesnโ€™t immediately delete the Buddie friendship.
And my God theyโ€™ve made it with Tommy.
People are mad because it was him with Buck off work, but this is the way it was meant to be. Because Buck has found a balance - he hangs with Eddie during work and they show us their friendship is still there, and Eddie can hang out with Buck and Tommy and the scene is, honestly, gold. Tommy doesnโ€™t feel shoehorned in, but a natural addition to them. And of course Buddie can still have their solo friendship scenes - and they will, because Tommy wonโ€™t be in every episode with being recurring, and not main.
But theyโ€™ve made it so it feels natural for Buck to have him off work (and not Eddie), to have his own SLs outside the friendship and they feel integrated and solid - and to have that same relationship fit into the world and not take away from the main narrative.
Itโ€™s just. Theyโ€™ve solved the problem. Theyโ€™ve found a partner for Buck that works.
Thank you for letting me ramble, queso โ™ฅ๏ธ
I do agree with a majority of this!! However, I don't know if it was the writers fault technically because general audience members don't see Eddie and Buck as romantic but, I'm with you on everything else.

Heaven is not fit to house a love (like you and I) | Part 5
Word Count: 6k
Genre: smut, angst, fluff
Summary: When you first met your boyfriend, it was love at first sight. No, more than that. It was love before you even met. It felt like you had known each other in another life and were meant to find each other again.ย 
But that's not actually true, is it? You and Beomgyu don't actually know each other from another life, and the dreams you've been having aren't memories of your past life either. That's ridiculous.ย 
But then why does Beomgyu get so defensive about them? And why does each dream feel more real than the one before?ย 
A/N: this is the sequel to my series YAMQN but I'm trying to write it in a way that it would be comprehensible to people who have never read YAMQN. The parts in italic are the dreams.ย 
Warnings: fem!reader, sub!gyu, dom!reader, choking, cunnilingus, fingering, riding, mentions of previous noncon
Tumblr media
โ€œOh my god.โ€ Are the words that stir you awake in the morning.ย 
Beomgyu returns to the apartment to find you in the same position you had fallen in last night, and he freaks out.ย 
โ€œFuck, did you stay there all night?โ€ He asks, and tries to scoop you up off the floor but you push him away.ย 
โ€œDon't touch me. Isn't that what you wanted?โ€ The raspiness of your voice from sleep adds to the harshness of your words, and Beomgyu frowns. โ€œIt's not what I wanted. It's what you wanted.๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
โ€œLook at me! What part of this exactly did I want?โ€ You indicate towards your disheveled and miserable state angrily, his reply pissing you off. Was it disingenuous to be mad at him for his ridiculous statement despite you making the very same equally absurd one before him? Maybe, but youโ€™re too bitter and upset that he left you last night to care. โ€œI told you I'm trying to fix it.โ€ย 
But Beomgyu is not one to let your hypocrisy go unnoticed. โ€œWow, that makes me feel so much better. I suddenly donโ€™t care that my girlfriend thinks Iโ€™m a disgusting piece of shit.โ€ย 
You have no comeback to that because you know there is nothing you can say that would justify your recent behavior, even if unintended, towards him, so you run away, knowing he would chase after you.ย 
โ€œWhatever.โ€ You push yourself off the ground with great difficulty. It turns out that sleeping on the hard floor curled up in a ball and crying your heart out takes a toll on your body, and your screaming bones and muscles make sure you know that.ย 
โ€œWhat, are you giving me the silent treatment now?โ€ He scoffs and you stay silent, proving his point as you make your way to your bathroom.ย 
Are you using anger to push down the guilt you feel at what you've put him through? Yes, but he shouldn't have left you to your thoughts last night because despite his reassurance that he wouldn't leave, you still couldn't help but spend the long tortuous hours until you fell asleep imagining that his small break away from you would allow him to reconsider everything and lead him to dump the crazy, toxic girlfriend he has that is treating him like a criminal over something he never did. What if he decided it was all too much after all and left you to find someone else who he wouldn't fight so much withโ€“whose friends didn't hateโ€“who wasn't insistent on being friends with a guy he clearly feels insecure about?ย 
โ€œCome on, just fucking talk to me.โ€ย 
Now he wants to talk when he made you go through needless hours of torture in the dead of the night by yourself?ย 
โ€œI don't have time. I have to get to work.โ€ You tell him, voice almost inaudible from all the shouting and crying you did last night. Honestly you don't know how you're even going to speak to customers like this but you're intent on paying Beomgyu back for what he did to you.ย 
โ€œAre you fucking serious?โ€ He asks, but you don't reply, just turning on the shower and stepping inside.ย 
You can see Beomgyu is still outside through the fogged up glass pacing up and down the small bathroom and it brings your heart a sick sense of satisfaction that he's waiting for youโ€“that he's atoning in some way for what he did.ย 
You take your time, not just because the hot water feels heavenly against your aching limbs, but also so youโ€™d make Beomgyu wait. You canโ€™t make him wait hours like he did to you but this small punishment does slightly placate your resentful heart.ย 
When you step out of the shower, he's immediately back into it, trying to convince you to stop and talk to him but you ignore him, keeping your mouth shut all through getting ready while he talks your head off.ย 
โ€œThis is ridiculous. Why am I the one begging you to talk to me?โ€ He finally asks and you hold back your flinch as you put the finishing touches on your makeup. You have to speak up now. You canโ€™t rebuff him for too long or he might leave again. You cringe inwardly at all these manipulative thoughts filling your mind and prompting you to act in this underhanded way that you never thought youโ€™d behave like before, but you canโ€™t help yourself, finding yourself falling into this toxic way of thinking as if it was something that had always been embedded in a rotten part of your brain you didnโ€™t know existed until it had been unearthed by the stress and pain of everything that has been happening lately.ย 
โ€œI tried to talk last night but you fucking abandoned me.โ€ You finally shout, shifting the blame onto him again.ย 
โ€œI didn't abandon you.โ€ He defends himself heatedly. โ€œI needed time to wrap my head around what you're fucking accusing me of!โ€
โ€œI wasn't accusing you of anything! I know it's just a dream.โ€ You scream as if you could drown out the voice in your head trying to convince you that it was more than that.ย 
โ€œIf you know that then why are you treating me like it's true?โ€ It was his turn to throw out accusations, and this one hit a nerve.ย 
โ€œBecause I can't fucking help it, okay!โ€ Your lips tremble as you tear up. You really donโ€™t know why these absurd dreams and images are affecting you to this extent. โ€œI can't fucking control what my mind choses to spring on me and I can't control what that makes me feel.โ€ย 
โ€œThen what the fuck do you expect me to do about it?โ€ He asks, frustrated. You completely understand his reaction. You would be furious and heartbroken if you were in his shoes. He might even be handling it much better than you would have.ย 
โ€œI don't know, okay? But you leaving me in the middle of the night to deal with this shit on my own is not helping.โ€ You break down, voice turning pathetic and whiny as you cry. Unlike your previous actions and words, this wasnโ€™t intended to sway him into giving into you. You truly donโ€™t know what to do. You donโ€™t want to be having these awful thoughts but you canโ€™t stop them. Still your tears get to him anyway.
โ€œI'm sorry.โ€ He relents right away, always weak when it comes to seeing you cry. โ€œI just needed some time to process it all.โ€
You scoff through your tears, softer too. โ€œWho are you and what have you done to the Beomgyu I know?โ€ย 
He cracks a half-hearted smile. โ€œI guess even he has a breaking point.โ€ย 
That is exactly what youโ€™re so scared ofโ€“of him reaching that breaking point and leaving you. You give him an equally unenthusiastic smile. โ€œWell, where do we go from here?โ€ย 
โ€œWherever. Doesn't matter as long as we're together.โ€ He says as if he could hear your fearful thoughts and you nod eagerly before he can change his mind. โ€œTogether, always.โ€ย 
__________________________________
Taehyun knows better than to approach you but he canโ€™t stop himself, not when you look like shit and sound like it too. Due to your rough state, your manager has relegated you to working in the back where you're out of the customers' sight, and that's where Taehyun corners you.
โ€œWhat happened to you? And don't give me that bullshit you gave the manager about laryngitis.โ€ย 
โ€œI don't owe you an explanation.โ€ You sneer, which is useless since he can't see it when your back is towards him. You doubt it would have dissuaded him anyway given his next question. He is like a dog with a bone. He wonโ€™t leave well alone.ย 
โ€œDid he hurt you?โ€
You whip around to face him, the sneer now turned to a full on scowl. โ€œHe didn't. He would never hurt me.โ€
โ€œYou sound defensive.โ€ You almost want to smack the know-it-all look off his face. โ€œGod, Taehyun, sometimes it feels like you wish he was abusing me so you have the chance to swoop in and act like the hero.โ€ย 
That gets him to frown a little. โ€œI don't need to wish for it when I know he is.โ€
โ€œHe isn't. He would never hurt me. I am the one hurting him. I am the oneโ€ฆโ€ You stop yourself as you feel the tears building up again. You shouldnโ€™t say more anyway. He would just use it against you and Beomgyu. โ€œWhatever. You wouldnโ€™t get it.โ€ย 
But Taehyun doesnโ€™t give up that easily. โ€œMaybe I already know.โ€
You roll your eyes. โ€œSure you do.ย 
โ€œHe forced himself on you, didn't he?โ€ He says lowly and youโ€™re glad you werenโ€™t holding anything fragile in your hand because suddenly all the strength goes out of your body as an icy grip wraps around your heart.
โ€œW-What?โ€ You stutter, staring at him with a deer-in-headlight look that speaks volumes.ย 
โ€œI knew it.โ€ His jaw clenches and his hands ball into fists by his sides. โ€œI am going to smash his face in.โ€
โ€œNo. No!โ€ You cry, shaking your head wildly. โ€œHe didn't do that, I swear. It's all in my head.โ€
Taehyun looks at you like you're lost your mind, so you quickly clarify before he misunderstands even further. โ€œIt's the dreams. I dreamt heโ€ฆ did that, but he didn't! Not in real life. And when I told him about what he did in those terrible dreams, he was so upset and hurt that I would dream up something so vile about him that he left for the night and I just didnโ€™t handle that too well. Thatโ€™s all. He didnโ€™t lay a finger on me. He didnโ€™t.โ€
You were doing your best to clear your boyfriend's name. It was the least you could do now that your stupid dreams have leaked out into the real world to threaten your relationship with Beomgyu and to infect even Taehyun. Yes, youโ€™re responsible for leading Taehyun to come to these revolting conclusions, but even you could never in a million years have been prepared for what he says next.ย 
โ€œYou had a dream about that too?โ€ He asks and you look at him in utter confusion and apprehension, dread building up in your stomach until you feel you wonโ€™t be able to contain it anymore. โ€œToo? You had the same dream?โ€
He nods slowly, his mind visibly working to try to make sense of what heโ€™s saying. โ€œThat's why I was worried about that. The dream felt so real, just like the ones you told me about before, the prince dreams. Prince Beomgyu raped you in my dream.โ€
The world spins nauseatingly around you. How is this possible? How could he have had the same dream you did? You insanity canโ€™t have rubbed off on him to this extent.
โ€œThat's impossible. It must be a coincidence.โ€ You shake your head violently, trying to dispel this insanity before it gets forever entrenched into your mind. โ€œYes, it's a coincidence because I put the image of prince Beomgyu in your head and you hate him so of course you'd dream of something so terrible about him.โ€ You attempt to convince yourself as much as him.ย 
โ€œThen why did you also have that same dream?โ€ He asks and you shake your head more, making the nausea worse. โ€œDo you also hate him?โ€
โ€œIt's a coincidence.โ€ You repeat weakly but Taehyun appears to believe your weak excuse even less than you do. โ€œIs it?โ€
You look up at him, and try to conjure up some conviction to defend your love, the love you find yourself hurting once again even in his absence. What the hell is wrong with you? Have you gone insane? You need to get a grip. โ€œDon't tell me you believe the prince dreams are real. I didn't take you for the type to be so superstitious.โ€
Taehyuns's upper lip curls in disdain at the clear mockery in your voice.โ€œI don't believe they are real but I believe in the psychology behind them. If you truly believe that your boyfriend would never hurt you then why are you having these awful dreams about him? If you truly believe he would never hurt you then why are they affecting you so much?โ€
โ€œI can't control it.โ€ You cry out, at your wit's end. How do they expect you to answer these questions for them when you can't even answer them for yourself? โ€œIt's not my fault.โ€
Taehyun's sharp face softens slightly. It appears he too is affected by your distress, though he's less lenient on you than Beomgyu. โ€œIt's not your fault, it's his. He makes you feel unsafe, that's why youโ€™re having those thoughts.โ€
You shake your head, denying his accusationย  weakly. You're so tired. You don't want to talk about this anymore. You just want it all to go away. โ€œBeomgyu wouldn't do that.โ€
โ€œDo you truly believe that or are you just saying that because you want to believe it?โ€
โ€œIโ€“Iโ€ฆโ€ You should believe it. You want to believe it, but something deep inside you is preventing you from doing that and if you could, you swear you'd tear yourself apart to get to it and crush it with your bare hands so you can return to the blissful love you once shared with Beomgyu and never have to think about it again.ย 
Your gorey fantasy is interrupted by the warm feel of a hand cupping your cheek, and your look up to see that Taehyun had snuck up on you and is now standing right in front of you.ย 
โ€œDon't hide from it. There is something in there that your mind is trying so hard to tell you but you won't let it because it scares you.โ€ He whispers, his thumb softly caressing your cheek, giving the opportunity for that strange feeling of yearning and affection you hold for him to reignite. How are these men able to so easily look right through you and read you like an open book? โ€œI get it. It's hard to think such things of the person you fell in love with. It feels like a betrayal. It feels like you're doing something wrong, but youโ€™re not. You're just protecting yourself.โ€ย 
โ€œHe's notโ€“he would neverโ€ฆโ€ You stumble, your thoughts a bloody and mangled mess you can't untangle, but he shushes you with a finger to your lips.ย 
โ€œListen to that voice deep in the back of your mind telling you the truth. I know you hear it.โ€ He bends down, pressing his forehead against yours, his lips centimeters away from your own.ย 
This is dangerous. This is wrong.ย 
โ€œTaehyun?โ€ You ask, noticing the way his gaze is transfixed on your lips. You see it coming a long time before it happens, and you do nothing to stop it. You do nothing to stop him from pressing his lips against yours.ย 
In fact, you don't just do nothing, you actively respond to his kiss, pushing your lips against his own, seeking out the alternative he was so clearly offering you.ย 
He's right. There is something there. You can't even deny it and that scares you. There is something between you as inexplicable as those wretched dreams, and they're all threatening to tear you apart from Beomgyu.ย 
But you're just as helpless against Taehyun as you are against the dreams, your treacherous body responding to his kisses despite your best efforts--your lips tingling against his slightly chapped ones, your heart clenching around every little hum and moan he breathes into your mouth.ย ย 
When he finally pulls back, you're both in a daze.ย ย 
"Angel.โ€ He murmurs softly and that triggers something in youโ€“and like muscle memory, you suddenly jump back, freaking out and in turn freaking him out. You seem to have that effect on the men in your life.
No. No. There are no men in your life, only one man. Beomgyu.
โ€œWhat?โ€ He asks, trying to reach out to you but you step further away, and you can't miss the flicker of hurt flashing across his eyes.ย 
โ€œWhy did you call me that?โ€ You ask and his eyebrows furrow in confusion. โ€œI don't know. It felt right. Do you not like it?โ€
No, you most certainly don't like it. You realize it's a very common pet name but this was all just too many coincidences for your liking, and you can't stand it anymore. None of this makes sense and it's making your head hurt.ย 
"I have to go." You tell him and his face falls. โ€œWhat? You're just leaving like that?โ€
Whatever ghost of hurt was there on his face is replaced by stark and jagged betrayal.ย 
โ€œYes. This was wrong. You shouldnโ€™t have kissed me. You fucking know I have a boyfriend.โ€ Your voice rises, more at yourself than him. You've really fucked up now. โ€œYou know we're having trouble and you're fucking using that to get with me. You're a scumbag, Taehyun.โ€ย 
And youโ€™re a stupid whore. This is exactly why Beomgyu wanted you to stay away from Taehyun but you were arrogant and thought you knew better than him and now look where that led you.ย 
โ€œIf you hated it so much then why did you kiss me back? Don't fucking pretend there is nothing between us. I know you felt it too.โ€ Taehyun will not take the blame lying down but it doesn't matter. He's not the one you have to explain yourself to.
โ€œWhat I felt was shame and guilt for cheating on my boyfriend. I feel nothing for you.โ€ You lie through your teeth. You don't know if Taehyun believes you or not but you know you're hurting him either way and he deserves it. He shouldn't have come onto you during your weak moment. โ€œGo find another girl to fix your intimacy issues.โ€
You take off your apron and make your way out of the coffee house, ignoring the way your manager is yelling at you to get back or you'll be fired.
โ€œI quit.โ€ You shout back at him. You don't care. Let him fire you. It's not like you can go back and work with Taehyun after this anyway. One of you has to leave and youโ€™re making it easier for the both of you.ย 
You have to get back to Beomgyu. You have to atone for all you've done.ย 
____________________
Beomgyu knows that something is off with you immediately. You look worse than you did when you left in the morning and he's asking about it as soon as you come through the door. You know it's useless to lie to him so you just confess, hoping that the faster you come clean, the faster you can move on.ย 
โ€œYou were right about Taehyun.โ€ You say and he immediately becomes angry. โ€œWhat did he do?โ€
โ€œI quit my job. I won't see him anymore.โ€ You quickly supply, hoping that would at least placate him a little bit. โ€œYou don't have to worry about him anymore.โ€
But Beomgyu will not fall for such easy tricks.ย 
โ€œWhat did he do?โ€ Beomgyu asks gravely and it scares you. Not for yourself but for Taehyun. Yes, Beomgyu would never hurt you but would he hurt Taehyun?
โ€œBeomgyu, youโ€™re scaring me.โ€ You tell him, once again hoping he'd soften just a little bit but it's to no avail.ย 
โ€œYou're only making me angrier.โ€ He tells you and you can clearly tell, so you make a last ditch effort to protect Taehyun. โ€œI'll tell you if you promise not to hurt him.โ€ย 
โ€œHe touched you.โ€ He states and you shake your head, wide-eyed. Are you really that easy to read? โ€œIt was just one kiss.โ€
โ€œIโ€™m going to fucking gut him.โ€ He rages, storming off towards the door, but you throw yourself in front of him, begging and pleading with him to calm down. โ€œNo, no, please, baby. It's over. I will never see him again. It will only be me and you. I swear.โ€
โ€œThat's not enough. He has to pay.โ€ He growls, his fury rolling off him in waves and scorching your skin.
โ€œIf you hurt him, they'll lock you up. They'll take you away from me.โ€ You try another angle, anything to get him to back down.ย 
โ€œWhen I'm done with him, there won't be a piece of him left to find.โ€ His words almost make your heart stop, and the look on his face makes you think he might actually be capable of doing that, so you try even harder to protect Taehyun.ย 
Despite the hostility you treated Taehyun with, you do not wish Beomgyu to hurt him. You care for him beyond what makes sense and you won't be able to live with yourself if Beomgyu lays a hand on him.ย 
โ€œPlease, Beomgyu, I'll do anything you want.โ€ You desperately plead, tugging on his shirt like a little child begging their parent not to punish them. โ€œI will never see him again. It will just be you and me, just like you wanted.โ€
You recognize how insane you sound. If you had seen another woman behaving the way you are right now and saying the same things to her boyfriend as she tries to justify her cheating, tries to prevent her boyfriend from retaliating, tries to convince him he has nothing to worry about by promising to completely and fully devote herself to himโ€ฆ you would shake your head in pity for the poor girl stuck in this tumultuous and frankly scary situation. No, the gravity of what is happening doesnโ€™t escape your notice but you find yourself falling into it no less severely. You just want this nightmare to be over. You want to protect Taehyun and give into Beomgyu and just do whatever the hell he wants so it would stop hurting.ย 
And you find what you desire when the vengeful look in Beomgyu eyes falters a little bit, and you know youโ€™ve got him. Heโ€™s got you. โ€œYou'll listen to me when I tell you to stay away from these types of men?โ€
โ€œYes.โ€ Your answer is ready on your tongue. You are so tired. โ€œYou were right. I shouldn't have doubted you.โ€
The tension in his shoulders eases a little bit. โ€œYou'll forget about those disgusting dreams?โ€
โ€œI will. I just need you to help me.โ€ You pull harder on his shirt and he takes your hands in his and kisses them. His touch is warm, doesnโ€™t burn as hotly from anger as it did a moment ago. โ€œOf course, I will, baby. I will do anything for you.โ€
You nod. โ€œI know.โ€ย 
He puts your hands on his shoulders and wraps his own hands around your waist, engulfing you, his touch firm but gentle, slightly hesitant as he watches your reaction to his words closely. โ€œYou won't hide away from me anymore?โ€
โ€œNo. I'm all yours.โ€ Once again your answer comes readily despite your trepidation. And to prove yourself, you use your hold on him to pull him into a kiss which he happily reciprocates. You can taste the sigh of relief on his lips, feel the rage slowly seep out under your touch as the kiss deepens.ย 
Beomgyu is horribly lost in the kiss, his tongue chasing your own and his lips desperately latching onto you as if heโ€™d stop breathing if he lets you go. You have a feeling he would stand there for hours, days, weeks, kissing you until you both perish if you donโ€™t intervene.ย 
He also wonโ€™t do anything more, the scare you gave him before having apparently done quite a number on him. So despite you very clearly feeling his need against your tummy, you know he wonโ€™t make a move to push things any further.ย 
So you make the move for him. You let your hand make its way between your bodies to take a hold of his hard member, and immediately he is pulling back with a groan, his head thrown back for a second as a shiver racks through his body from the sudden burst of pleasure after being deprived for so long, before he quickly whips his head back down and gasps out.ย 
โ€œYou don't have to.โ€ He says as if he wasn't giving you the neediest puppy dog eyes you've ever seen. As if he literally wasnโ€™t gasping for air at that small touch.ย 
You scoff. โ€œIf I take my hand off your cock right now, youโ€™re gonna cry.โ€ย 
He gulps. โ€œSo make me cry. Better me than you.โ€ย 
A sharp pang pierces through your heart. Despite how weak he is, how desperate, he still would rather hurt himself than hurt you again. Youโ€™re overwhelmed. You donโ€™t know how to respond to that, so you just push him to the ground and say, โ€œYouโ€™re crazy.โ€ย 
โ€œCrazy for you.โ€ He whispers as he watches you take your pants and underwear off.ย 
โ€œSee what youโ€™ve done?โ€ You sling one leg over his shoulder, bringing your pussy inches away from his face and letting him see how wet and puffy youโ€™ve gotten for him.ย 
He gulps and asks in a shaky voice, โ€œCan I?โ€ย 
You cock your head down at him as you play with his hair. โ€œWhat are you going to do if I say no?โ€ย 
Is it cruel to mess with him when heโ€™s this needy? You donโ€™t care. You just want to revel in everything he is giving you.ย 
โ€œWhatever you want me to do.โ€ Comes his perfect reply and you reward him for it, unceremoniously pushing his face in your pussy. Beomgyu responds immediatelyโ€“whether he wanted it so much that he was ready for it or he knew that what he would say would get him what he wants, you donโ€™t know and you donโ€™t care to figure out when his wet tongue was prying your pussy lips apart to seek out your dripping entrance, his entire lower face getting covered in your juices in seconds.
โ€œFuck, baby, how are you so good at this?โ€ You groan, looking down to see him eat you out just as hungrily as he always does. Every time youโ€™re with Beomgyu, itโ€™s always full of passion and love and lust. He treats it like the first and last time he will ever be with you and his fervor is infectious. A sprawling fire licks up your body, sprouting up from where he was devouring your cunt, his kisses and licks so fractic and yet so deliberate.ย 
Beomgyu doesnโ€™t reply, he just mewls and nuzzles his face into your pussy more.ย 
โ€œFinger me open for your cock, baby.โ€ย 
You swear you felt him almost cum on the spot at the command, but he holds himself back, one of his hands snaking around your body to grab a handful of your ass and spread it open while the other goes under you to press two of his fingers against your entrance. You feel the pads of his fingers swirling around it for a little bit, probably gathering enough of your arousal to easily breach your hole but you were so turned on, you didnโ€™t really need it.ย 
โ€œDonโ€™t fucking teasโ€“โ€ You donโ€™t get to finish your irritated demand before his fingers plow into you in one go. It takes you by surprise so much so you almost fall, but with his hold on your ass, he is able to keep you in your place, pushing you further against his lewd tongue while his fingers work you open.ย 
โ€œFuck, fuck, fuck.โ€ You moan, pulling harshly at his hair as he sends you barreling towards your orgasm, his finger pumping in and out of you ruthlessly, repeatedly hitting that spot inside you that has you turning to goo in his hold. โ€œIโ€™m going to cum, Gyu. Donโ€™t fucking stop.โ€ย 
As if Beomgyu would even consider it. He fucks you as if he could cum from it, and you think he very well could if you asked him to. But you have other plans for him.ย 
โ€œOh shit, right there! Fuck!โ€ You cry out, finally going over the edge and coming over your darlingโ€™s face. Beomgyu happily lets you hump his face, getting those last shocks of pleasure before your punishing hold on his hair loosens and your breathing goes from fast and shallow to slow and deep, your eyelids fluttering to a half-closed position while his shines widely up at you.ย 
He is like a dog begging for his treat, and youโ€™ll be damned if you donโ€™t give it to him. You take your leg off his shoulder, but you donโ€™t put it back down. Instead you press your foot against his chest and push him to the floor. He quickly realizes what you want and compliantly lays down flat for you to lower yourself on him.ย 
โ€œDo you need it, Gyu?โ€ You ask, shuddering as his clothed cock rubs against your sensitive pussy.ย 
He nods quickly. โ€œUh-huh. Need it to survive.โ€ย 
You laugh, breathless. He's ridiculous. โ€œNeed my pussy to survive?โ€ย 
โ€œY-Yeah.โ€ He whimpers, struggling to hold himself back from just dry humping you. โ€œWould die without it.โ€ย 
โ€œPoor puppy.โ€ You take pity on him and finally reach down to pull him out of his pants, the weak gasp he lets out echoing in your own chest. He did so well for you. Youโ€™ve hurt him badly and yet heโ€™s still willing to be so vulnerable for you. You canโ€™t believe you almost messed this up and for what? Demented dreams that mean nothing and a guy who is hell-bent on separating you from the one guy who loves you more than anything in the world because of his deranged savior complex?ย 
You focus on the anger you feel at that to hold the images that are creeping at the edges of your mind at bay as you take in Beomgyuโ€™s cock, feeling it stretch you out even more than it usually does now that you havenโ€™t fucked him in some time.ย 
And itโ€™s not just you who feels the difference. Beomgyu can clearly feel the way your tight walls drag over every inch of his cock as you dutifully take him up to the hilt. You feel his fingers dig into the meat of your thighs as he tries to stay grounded and not cum the moment heโ€™s surrounded by your fluttering walls.ย 
โ€œYou okay there, baby?โ€ You tease, grinning at the way heโ€™s holding his breath and the tense arch of his back. You feel bad that your distance has affected him this much, but not bad enough that you donโ€™t start moving just to watch him scramble to keep from cumming.ย 
โ€œFuck, fuck, slow downโ€ฆโ€ He pleads and you laugh. โ€œI canโ€™t possibly go any slower than this.โ€ย 
You really canโ€™t. You were basically just swiveling your hips over him. You werenโ€™t even riding him yet and yet he looks like youโ€™re fucking the life out of him.ย 
It doesn't feel so scary like this, with him writhing under you helplessly. Images still bleed at the corner of your vision from that unknown source, images of Beomgyu decked in flowery silk and expensive jewels but still just as weak for you as he is right now, calling out for his princess as he struggles to hold himself back.ย 
And as your pace starts to pick up and your defenses get weaker, those images creep closer and closer until theyโ€™re blending with the image of him under you right now and become indistinguishable from each other, until your Beomgyu is prince Beomgyu and prince Beomgyu is your Beomgyu. It scares you but it also feels right, and you donโ€™t know what that means. Have you finally lost it?ย 
But itโ€™s hard to care about your expired sanity with the pleasure pumping through your veins and flooding your brain. As always, Beomgyu cock fits you so perfectly it feels like it was made for your pussy, a shock of electricity spreading from that point of contact to take hold of your entire body, gripping your muscles until you're bouncing on Beomgyu's cock, chasing it further and further.ย 
โ€œPlease, please, slow down! I can'tโ€“โ€
It moves your arm so your hand is wrapped around Beomgyu's delicate throat, pressing firmly on it to quiet his pathetic cries.ย 
โ€œShut up, Beomgyu. You can take it. You will hold yourself back and not pop in my pussy like a little virgin before I let you.โ€ย 
Tears collect on his pretty lashes as he sniffles and tries to listen to your harsh commands. But you can see how difficult it is for him. Beogmyu is extremely sensitive at the best of times so you just know that he's about ready to combust at any moment right now and it just makes you even more turned on.ย 
You've never been so rough with Beomgyu, or with anyone for that matter. You've never choked someone before and you probably shouldn't either but you canโ€™t get yourself to let go. You're being so cruel to him but something deep inside you is telling you that he deserves it.ย 
For what? You don't know. Maybe it comes from that same place where the dreams come from and the thought scares you because that is a place of evil and you shouldn't be acting on it but Beomgyu hasn't even batted an eye in alarm. It's as if he thinks he deserves it too.ย 
โ€œPrincess!โ€ His choked cry pulls you out of your thoughts and you can tell that he is right on the verge of falling.โ€œPlease say I can cum. Please? I r-really can't hold it any longer. God, please.โ€ย 
He was openly crying now, his sobs partly cut off by your hand around his throat and tears heavily streaming down his face you're sure your image is probably swimming in vision right now from the tears and the low oxygen. He looks pathetic but more beautiful than anyone or anything you've seen in your entire life. How could you possibly be expected to resist God's most beautiful creation?ย 
Still, you play the part.ย 
โ€œWhatever. If you cum I won't stop anyway.โ€ You tell him, and he must have taken this as permission because next thing you know his mouth is hung open and you feel his warm seed burst inside you.ย 
โ€œFuck.โ€ You look down as you continue to ride him at the same pace, seeing his cum seeping out of your pussy and sticking to both your skin, making obscene squelching noises as you jump on his dick.ย 
But Beomgyu doesnโ€™t complain for a second.ย 
You donโ€™t know what is wrong with you. Why are you doing that? And why isnโ€™t Beomgyu making any attempt to stop you? He just lays there and lets you do whatever you want to him.ย 
โ€œIs this what you wanted?โ€ You ask, tone sharper than you intended. You donโ€™t understand why youโ€™re angry at him when all he wants is for you to love him.ย 
โ€œIโ€“Iโ€ฆ I love you.โ€ He slurs incoherently, his words both not making sense and yet answering your question perfectly at the same time. Beomgyu doesnโ€™t care what happens as long as youโ€™re together.ย 
โ€œFuck, Beomgyuโ€ฆโ€ You curse, your own orgasm not taking long to grab hold of your body, not with his seed filling your pussy and the raptured, devoted look on his face.ย 
โ€œI love you, princess.โ€ He whispers, barely audible with your hand so tight around his throat as you finally succumb to your own end.ย 
โ€œI love you too.โ€ Your voice surprises you, your own tears having caught up to you without you realizing it until you hear the pitiful garbled sound in your ears.ย 
You don't know why youโ€™re crying. Is it from pleasure? Stress? The combination of everything you've been through these past few months?ย 
You don't know but you know that it feels good to let it all out, your tears getting swept up and washed away by the waves of pleasure battering your exhausted body.ย 
This orgasm takes everything out of you. You enter a state of complete dissociation, the pleasure and strange but profound sorrow taking turns ravaging your body until you're left limp and spent.ย 
When you finally regain awareness, you find yourself in Beomgyu's embrace once again. Always in Beomgyuโ€™s embrace. And he is rocking you and whispering sweet gentle nothings in your ear.ย 
โ€œIt's okay, my love. I'm here. I got you. I will never let go.โ€ย

Let's talk about Sam's parents and their relationship with Sam because, just wow, it gives quite a lot of context to Sam's character. I'm going to analyse the episode ยจControl Freaksยจ since that is the episode we get to see the most of Sam's family and her relationship with them.
Tumblr media
Okay, so, at the start of the episode we have Pam suggesting to Sam to wear a different type of dress- one that is pink with flowers- that resembles the way Pam and Jeremy usually look. They both have more colorful clothes and are more chirpy.
There doesn't seem to be any exactly harmful in this scene- it is Pam just suggesting to Sam to wear something different, she isn't exactly ordering her. However, based on other things they do later in the episode, it wouldn't surprise me that they ยจforceยจ these things on Sam, from things she should like to her fashion. Meaning we are already seeing some... questionable aspects of the Mansons parenting.
Tumblr media
Danny later shows up in the Manson's house bringing a ยจanti-socialยจ music cassette/CD for Sam and Pam and Jeremy look at Danny this way.
Throughout the episode they show their clear disapproval of Danny hanging out with Sam. They see Danny as a ยจbad influenceยจ to their own daughter even though is Sam the one who suggested to skip school to see the circus.
They clearly don't like the Fentons, something i can't fully blame them because Jack and Maddie can leave a mess wherever they go to and usually end up shooting the Mansons when they are nearby. But just because they dislike the Fentons, they don't want Sam to be meeting with Danny, not caring how that makes Sam feel.
Like i want to believe this part of the series humor but they go so far to filling a restraining order for Danny to not get near Sam. Just trying to impose certain fashion and likes on Sam wasn't enough, they want to control who she can and can't meet up with.
Tumblr media
If they weren't giving wrong vibes already, then lets talk about that ยจanti-goth protestยจ they organized in front of the circus to ยจprotect the childrenยจ that shows up during most of the episode.
Tumblr media
I don't know, but they give me the impression of those parents that would try to censor certain type of music or videogames because they are ยจruiningยจ the children. And from what it is implied, this isn't the first time they have organized these type of protests, so it could be assumed they could have done more extreme things in the past.
Tumblr media
Honestly, i'm not sure how Pam and Jeremy turned out like this, because Ida is a lot nicer and open minded than they are. In fact, at some point of the episode she shows Sam that she was like her when she was around her age and lets her sneak out to look for Danny.
On last point, one thing i found quite messed up is how at the end of the episode they force Sam to wear that pink dress that Pam suggested her at the start with the condition that she could see Danny again if she did.
Tumblr media
Things like these makes me wonder if they usually impose Sam to act and be feminine since she acts differently in contrast to how other girls of her age usually do. There isn't much indication of this, but based on what i have seen so far, i wouldn't rule it out.
Now, look, in spite of everything i'm not sure if i would call Sam's parents downright abusive- they were right about getting mad at Sam for skipping school among other things- but they still come off as controlling and they take things to the extreme. It isn't right for them to forbid Sam for meeting with some of the few friends she has nor force on her how identity and likes should be.
Sam has a lot of issues as character for not changing and having a proper arc, but i can't fully blame her for the way she often acts in the show because, with her parents being like this, i can understand why she would hate authority or show a dislike ยจgirl stuffยจ. Honestly, i'm surprised that she is okay as a person, since she could turned out a lot worse.

OKAY WRITING ABOUT JWCT SHIPS TIME:
Sammy x Yasmina
10/10
I love their relationship and how they have come so far throughout cc and ct. Also less to do with the ship but I especially loved how Yasmina was shown in ct to have worked towards facing her fears and has gotten so much further than Sammy, who has been ignoring her problems. There's like nothing to hate about this ship. Everyone agrees they're perfect.
Kenji x Brooklyn
3/10
I've been waiting for them to break up since they got together. She was great for him in the beginning of their relationship, helping him become his own person and becoming less egotistical, but she has refused to change with him, which has made their relationship stagnant. I thing their relationship was good for Kenji and I'm glad they got together if only so that she could help him figure out how to be his own man, but past that, their relationship was pointless and I hope it never gets rejuvenated.
Ben x Darius
8/10
I love them as bros and honestly, despite their obvious closeness and the fact that I would like to see more of their interactions, I see them as more platonic, especially with what Darius said about his crush on Brooklyn. Not because of him liking Brooklyn or girls in general and you'll see why in a minute. But I also wouldn't be mad to see them get together. They're both nerds and I love them.
Darius x Brooklyn
2/10
Honestly, I feel like the same things that caused a rift in Brooklyn's relationship with Kenji would also tear apart her relationship with Darius. And it's stated in the show that it's unrequited. They're good friends, but while he'd probably rate her as his top friend and vice versa, I feel like we can collectively agree that there are other friendships he has that are less toxic. Also the love triangle thing feels so weird when the girl cares less about both the guys combined than either one feels about her.
Darius x Nobody
9/10 The dots have been connected
Now hear me out: I don't feel like his crush has ruined things between him and Ben or Kenji, but some things about what he said regarding his crush and his reactions have made me feel like he is very aroace coded. Which has put a lot of things in perspective for me. Since the beginning of cc, he's been a "power of friendship" guy and rewatching his interactions with everyone, they seem a lot stronger and meaningful as just platonic, rather than romantic. And while everyone around him has been dealing with romance, he's just kind of indifferent to it all until Brooklyn. And his reaction to his crush on Brooklyn just screams repressed aroace with him saying that he never thought he could feel like that (has he never had a crush on anybody before) and how he has completely panicked regarding their relationship. Idk to me, it's giving aroace with a "fake" crush or demi aroace person who has taken way too long to fall for a girl that anybody else would have fallen for after the original bout of mortal danger. He had to be friends with her for YEARS before he could catch a semblance of a crush on her. And it also sounds to me like she was pretty absent in his life before popping in to stay with him for a week, which could also explain why he might he having a "fake" crush (if that is what it is). ALSO: when I say "fake" crush, I'm not trying to downplay his feelings, I'm just referring to something a lot of aroace people experience where you get really close to someone and mistake those feelings for love. And when it happens, these feelings are very intense(speaking from experience). Like how if he's suddenly frequently interacting with Brooklyn again and it's just them, I feel like that kind of situation could lead to an aroace crush. It's all just giving aroace person experiencing their first crush in the most traumatic way possible.
Brooklyn x Nobody
10/10 We love to see a gal feeling herself
I feel like at this point in the story, she has nothing to gain or give by being in a relationship with anybody in the show. Her and Kenji had a decent run while they had it, but it's time to let go at this point. If she does end up with someone, it has to be someone outside the main cast and personally, I'd like to see her with a gal pal. She has bi energy, especially with the new haircut.
Kenji x Darius
7/10
Honestly, I definitely shipped them mid-cc, but at the beginning of ct, I decided I did not want to see them get together. But by the end, I kind of changed my mind. I still think their relationship would be best platonic, but I also wouldn't be mad if they got together. It'd probably be a bit stranger than if Darius was with Ben, but they've also got a strong connection.
Ben x Kenji
0/10
I feel like they've hardly gotten any relationship building in either cc or ct and it needs to happen pronto. There has to be something they can bond over
Sammy x Yasmina and Ben
10/10
I'd like to see the lesbians in a qpr with their hypeman. Ben is just so cute with them and he loves them so much (platonically) and vice versa. It doesn't need to be anything official, but just more of Ben being their third wheel/adopted son would make the show more perfect than it already is.
Ben x His European GF
2/10
I think she's fake, either that he's lying about her so he doesn't lose street cred or that she is lying to him and is a catfish. Maybe we'll see a plot twist relating to the gf, but I'm not holding out hope. She could be redeemed if she was a real girl who was a total kickass and saved the whole group (maybe they meet her at the end of their stowaway boat mission) but otherwise I don't really care about her. Also don't lose hope, people who hc him as gay or aro, there's always the chance that he's bi, lying, or having a "fake" crush like Darius. I know I, as an aroace person have had more online than irl relationships and I'm p sure that's a sign of not being allo, especially when the person you're dating is far away and you have no plans of ever seeing them irl.
Anyways thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I wouldn't have minded Viren's death the way it happened if it had occurred later. Maybe in the final season, but here it unfortunately left me feeling betrayed and disappointed.
I know the intention was to show that he was finally being completely selfless and humble, sacrificing his own life to save the people of the kingdom. But the way it happened, the journey leading up to his death, just seemed cruel and unfair to me. Especially when I think about everything that happened in his life.
First, we know that his journey to darkness began precisely because he used dark magic to save his son's life. He used dark magic to save others and to serve the king. In other words, he spent his entire life destroying his own body and soul to save other people's lives, to feed the people of two entire kingdoms because somehow their rulers were incompetent to do so in the first place. So, once again, he destroys his body and soul and ends his life to save people who are okay with dark magic being useful to them once again but still continue to hate whoever uses it.
Moreover, he is forced into this when he said he wouldn't do it anymore, when he finally felt free from it. And he dies repeating that he is a servant. Again, I understand the intention of showing that he is no longer selfish and power-hungry, but when I remember that his hunger for power came from the insecurity of being someone without importance and value, seeing him die saying that was very sad. As if he, a servant, could never be anything else.
So, no, I didn't like Viren's ending as it was done.
Honestly, I find myself wishing he had died at the end of Season 3 because it feels like all his development in the last two seasons was thrown away and served no purpose. Because if Viren remained dead and Claudia still chose to follow Aaravos, Soren doesn't discover the truth, then what was the point of bringing Viren back to life? What was the point of him being, as far as we know, the only person ever resurrected? What was the point of him being able to see a vision of himself from the future and the past? Why did he have visions of Aaravos' mirror? And his constant visions with Claudia? That obvious connection to the Star Arcanum served no purpose?
Besides, knowing the true reason for Aaravos' revenge plans simply makes the way he dealt with Viren, Claudia, and Sir Sparklepuff in the last three seasons very, very strange. And here, I'm not judging the character but the writers who crafted this confusing plot. Because noticing the similarities between Viren's and Aaravos' stories, I don't see why Aaravos didn't reveal that to Viren. I know that if he had treated Viren as he did in Seasons 2 and 3, he would have convinced Viren to stay on his side. But instead, Aaravos pushed Viren to a complete breakdown, to the point of wanting to give up dark magic.
And what was that about Lissa not wanting to shed a single damn tear to save her own son? Honestly, the revelation that Viren had to pull her hair to get the tear to save THEIR SON, when Viren had already made the greater sacrifice with his own body and soul, didn't make me mad at Viren, it made me mad at her. She even abandoned the kids afterward, and Viren is the only terrible parent here?
All that being said, Viren was my favorite character because he was the most complex, the most real, and the best written. With him dead, I've lost interest in continuing to watch the show, which is really a shame.

AITA for refusing to argue with my boyfriend?
Alright, so.
My (25F) bf (27M) loves arguing and discussing. I appreciate discussions as long as we're both being respectful and we're actually talking towards something, when it gets to discussing for the sake of it (and I can tell it's happening when he starts attacking all of my points of view and I start getting confused about what we are actually disagreeing on) I just can't. I start shaking and I have to take a break before I get mean or irrationally defensive.
Last time we fought it was about "standing up" for oneself. He got really unpleasant with a clerk at the bank because his computer wasn't working, made a scene in the bank and a woman even told him that if he didn't stop she wouId stop being a civilian and become a police officer, and he'll have to deal with offense to a public officer (we live in france, if it matters).
I hated every second but I just tried to ask if there was anything to do about the computer, and when the poor clerk told me no I thanked him and told him (and my bf) that it wasn't the clerk's fault at all, it's something that happens and we couldn't do anything about it.
When we were out of the bank, I confronted him about it, telling him that I found it unpleasant and he had been really disrespectful, and he told me that I always do this, always stay too calm and accomodating even when I shouldn't be, that when he requires a service he needs it done, I reminded him that human beings can't be machines and always "function perfectly" (and well, not even the machines can), we argued a bit, he refused to have lunch with me and we parted ways (we don't live together).
We talked again about it a couple of days later, and he told me that he gets this need to argue with me every now and then and when he can't provoke a reaction in me he starts losing it.
The thing is that I'm really hard to rile up, and I like this about myself, also because I don't really like who I become when I get angry and I'm not given the chance to calm down by myself for a while ( I get really defensive and never admit I'm wrong, sarcastic and cold).
He loves the provoking part of it, saying things just to make me mad and get an angry reaction out of me, it's how he argues with his family and he seems to need it.
I know this, we have been together for nine years now, and when I was younger (especially at 17-22) I was much more hot headed, but now I don't really see the point honestly.
We couldn't reach a definite agreement about how to handle this, even though we talked about it for literal hours, we both agree that it's not a deal breaker but we didn't get much past this.
So, AITA for refusing to argue with him when he seems to need it? He told me again and again that he never means to get disrespectful towards me during those discussions and that they never change his opinion of me (yeah, I'm a bit anxious), so it's not like he's insulting me? Should I just play along a bit and let that part of me loose for a while? I'm really not sure, and again, we already eviscerated this from every point of view and didn't get a conclusion, so I need an outside perspective.

so I have noticed some people think Ben is boring (trust me Iโ€™ve seen it)
so I am here to talk about everything ben and try to explain his character!
This wonโ€™t be the best character analysis
as English is not my first language and I'm trying to bring more attention to stuff that's not talked about often.
So I'm going to split this into 6 categories to try to make writing this easier for me so bare with me.
Things Iโ€™ll go over!
personalityย 
looksย 
hobbies
past & currentย 
relationship with familyย 
relationship with friends
This is going to have a bunch of stuff that are headcanons I'm only including them to show ppl if u can put some thought into it u can get some reasonable ones.
1 | personality
I see a lot of ppl reduce his character to only music and being mute? which really upsets me because he soo so much more,
but making his entire personality music makes me so mad
most headcanons I see are all the same PLEASE I AM TIRED of hearing what kind of songs he listens to that or all ship headcanons titled as Bensย 
he's a shy awkward guy we all know that cuz he really just stands in a corner awkwardly scratching his neck most times and he also doesnโ€™t like horror or anything scary (eps 11)ย 
hes a protective older brother not overly like Tyler where hes more protective of Tay from other people ben is more chill going and more afraid of what life throws at Lily, thereโ€™s not much here cuz more points I have fit in the other categories :)
2 | looksย 
he looks kinda of basic nobody can deny that so I won't, but because of his past I imagine he would have a bunch of scars ik he doesnโ€™t and thatโ€™s a bummer cuz I really wish he had ๐Ÿฅฒ
After he lost his voice he became super facially expressive but also really good at hiding his emotions so itโ€™s either really easy to read him or really hard no in between. also because of his past bullying, I assume it affected him and the way he presents himself that why he sticks to basic outfits and look,
overall trying not to bring attention to himself even after therapy he stuck to his habit but if someone gave him a little push and helped him he would drop it and start putting thought into his looks,
saw this somewhere I donโ€™t remember where they said he would have curly hair as a kid but his mom didnโ€™t know how to take care of it so they ended up shaving it and i think curly or wavy haired Ben would be so cute also he would look amazing with an eyebrow piercing %100 and uhh I genuinely donโ€™t remember him smiling genuinely in canon so i imagine his with a downturned smile I may be wrong about that idk
3 | hobbies
did I make this a separate category just to talk about him being an artist? yes I absolutely did ๐Ÿ™‚โ†•๏ธ
I fear most people forgot about it n honestly and that is criminalย 
there is not much said about it in canon but Iโ€™ll work with what I have,
he probably didnโ€™t have much artistic skills when he was younger and only started doing it as a distraction and a way to calm down n he probably made himself draw
I feel like red projected onto him in that ifykyk๐Ÿ˜ญ
Tumblr media
but from the picture Ben draws based on things that happen so he diff draws a bunch of random things he sees and thinks its cool, he would draw everything and everyone and I feel his art style would be more realistic tbh
but Ben also plays guitar, plays pianoย 
, fight, used to sing, and the medic of the group like what else he do?? he is literally perfect what more can I say here but most of these are not really hobbies but skills he had to learn for the sake of his lifeย 
4 | Past & currentย 
Iโ€™ll talk more here about how his past affects him currently,
I love to think he has a fear of fires because of the fire that burned down his house more of a headcanon tbh
see the pan he burned in that official art? it took him half an hour in his room to calm down his heartbeat and gathering around the campfire is the opposite of relaxing for him
probably hates turtlenecks with his beingย 
and I want to talk about his voice as that affects him the most what really bothers me about the fandom is that a lot of people ignore the fact that he probably will never speak.ย 
I see plenty of ppl benlor shippers sayย 
โ€œhe would sing for โ€”-๐Ÿฅบโ€œ โ€œhe would whisper to comfortโ€”๐Ÿฅบโ€œ n it makes me wonder are we even talking about the same character???? which is absolute bullshit if he did that he is the one thatโ€™s gonna need comfort like please. he would probably never speak unless he sees someone's head gets ripped off there body.
It's said flat out in episode 27
Tumblr media
That he has the option to speak but he doesnโ€™t why? Because he hates his voice and if he hates his voice sm he chose to not speak for yearsss what makes u think he would speak for the sake of someone else's comfort when doing that only pains him? he is selectively mute for a reason I'm not saying he doesnโ€™t have a voice but at least if u headcanon him to speak in the future at least let it be for his own sake instead of doing it for someone else or make it about ur ship.
5 | Relationship with familyย 
Starting with his parents I donโ€™t think they are bad parents at all they tried to help him as much as they could but they couldnโ€™t so they opened up other options and let him move away and heal even if heโ€™s not with them I think what the did is a good choice for their situation and their relationship would still be great tbh considering the distanceย 
now onto Lily
I honestly can talk about them for days. I love themย 
Their relationship is so sweet the way Lily is stuck to him every chance she gets and ah also used to sing to her can you imagine how she felt seeing her brother coming home later and later covered in bruises not singing to her to sleep anymore watching him sneak outย 
she basically watched her brother spiral down and then leave she was probably too young to really understand what was going on fully so now she just wants to spend all the time she can with him and he tries to make up for lost time :(
now Aidenย 
most people probably forgot Aiden is the closest person to Ben and the same goes the other way around.
Aiden is a life long friend of Benโ€™s
he literally trusts him, follows him everywhere and lets him decide for himย 
they spent most of their time together since Ben moved in they live together there stuck together.
Aiden probably helped him a lot mentally helping him try new things and be more carefree
Ben also probably helped him mentally and physically patching him up and looking out for him overall,
I see some Aiden fics that are like โ€œOh no Benโ€™s gonna be so upset at me ๐Ÿ˜–โ€ and they make him act like a nurse, not a friend and he just bandages him up then leaves as if nothing happened and someone else comes and in does all the comfortingย 
like I can count all the fics where Ben acts like a decent person and I'd still have more fingers up than down,
itโ€™s so upsetting how ignored their relationship is in this fandom they deserve so much more honestly.
6 | Relationship with friendsย 
he is definitely the therapist friendย 
He is that kind of friend that you can tell everything to him going from weird food to the worst time of your life and won't even realize itย 
his friendship with Ash is very chill not the closest I'd say,
they're really just trying to keep their peace lmao
his friendship with Taylor
I imagine them as gossip girls tbh Ben being a quiet kid while Taylor is popular they definitely know some good gossipย 
his friendship with Tyler is something he used to find him irritating but then he realized they have a lot in common especially when Tyler was teaching him guitar which was precise since he was the one who offeredย 
and his friendship with Loganย 
it's really sweet Logan would try to teach him gardening while they talk about their interests
and be absolute nerds together lmao
overall the friendship between all of them is really sweet ik I didnโ€™t give it justice here but the found family trope and the way they find comfort in each other is just everything to me
And I'm done yappin hope u enjoyed that because that was over 1,5k wordsย 
if u have any questions feel free to ask ๐Ÿซก

ya'll forget how much cartman unconditionally supports kyle
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ok so i HATED how after the end of obesity special all the people who shit on cartman while blindly supporting anything kyle does were all like "ugh i can't believe cartman insulted kyle even after how much he helped him in the episode!1!1 ๐Ÿ˜ค" or "wow kyle is such a good person he's still willing to help cartman even after everything cartman's done!1!1!" like ok i'm gonna stop you right there LOL. are ya'll forgetting how much of an ASS kyle's been to cartman the past few seasons?!?!? (and rlly the whole series lol) that piece of shit deadass broke all of his stuff, stole his girlfriend, sabotaged his happy future with a wife and kids, REFUSED to help him when he was sucked into a parallel dimension where everyone is replaced with a diverse woman, and still kept fucking harassing him for being fat even when when cartman stopped making jew jokes for the most part. and ya'll have the nerve to shame cartman just for lightly teasing kyle at the end???? the reason why this episode was such a breath of fresh air was bc it finally showed kyle being nice to cartman for once and being a good friend BACK. ya'll are forgetting the fact that cartman helps kyle with shit all the time too i mean deadass remember when he got out of the hospital bed to save kyle from the PC people???? yet, kyle didn't appreciate it and still broke all of cartman's stuff and tried sabotaging his relationship the next season LOL. so yeah kyle going out of his way to help cartman with a weight loss drug is honestly the LEAST he could do at this point to make up for all the times cartman was nice to him and tried helping him and he was an ungrateful little bitch about it. that's why i'm rlly not that mad abt cartman making that ginger jew joke at the end bc i mean at least they're even now and it's rlly nowhere near as bad as all the unappreciative ways kyle has tried to screw cartman over after cartman was there for him.

Do you ever just think about how in Batman The Knight, Bruce mentions they promised to not use guns and yet Bruce is the first one to shoot Luka to protect Khoa? Especially considering his small flashes whenever he had to use guns even at inhuman targets? And he still did it?
YES!!! Yes, I do!!!
I went through this specific issue recently and i have so many thoughts, I hope you don't mind me using your ask as an excuse to ramble :)
Bruce was having such a bad time in this issue it's not even funny. Luka just decided to kill the only constant figure in his life at this point, his partner, his bestie, his boy crush, his only companion, and just expected him to sit and watch while he shot him right in front of his eyes, like, bro, right in front of the traumatized by loved ones being shot in front of him boy??? WHY
And of course that happened after months of him relieving this particular trauma repeatedly on account of having to use guns and interact daily with a guy who, bc of his past career, he couldn't help but compare to his parents' murderer. Why not, after all. Just marinate him a bit before going for the kill.
Obviously, Bruce couldn't let Luka just kill Khoa, so he takes the gun, and he doesn't even kill Luka, but taking that shot was such a difficult thing to do in such a stressful situation in which he's clearly relieving his biggest trauma. And like, sure, he made his promise to Luka, but more than that, guns are forever associated with his parents death and their murderer. Bruce very much can't use guns on real people without shaking, trembling, throwing up, yk, feeling like he's putting himself in the shoes of joe chill and feeling so intensely guilty. Itโ€™s really his last resort - if it was Bruceโ€™s life that Luka was threatening, he might even have let himself be killed in order to not have to use the gun.
However, since the universe is not over with him yet, and still has some ideas about how to make his day worse, it decides instead to force his hand by making Minhkhoa be the one being held at gunpoint. Thus, Bruce does take the shot anyway in the worst way possible and in the worst situation ever, and literally the only thing that could've been worse would be making him kill someone, so of course,
THEN
MINHKHOA TAKES THE GUN
AND SHOOTS LUKA RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM
MAKING SO THAT BRUCE'S SHOT REALLY RESULTED IN SOMEONE'S DEATH
ONCE AGAIN
RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS TRAUMATIZED EYES
and as if this wasn't enough
HE THEN POINTS THE GUN AT BRUCE
Honestly his biggest crime, I don't care about the murders and other felonies, this moment right here is the only thing he ever did wrong.
Like, can you imagine the level of brain damage bruce was receiving that day?
Khoa went from loved-one-about-to-be-killed to being the one walking on joe chill's shoes. His range, honestly. No wonder Bruce got so mad and then so heartbroken. Crying his eyes out, literally hugging himself. The saddest, most traumatized boy ever
Tumblr media
Anyways, bruce still misses him, even after all khoa put him through. Or, as he says, he misses who he thought he was. After their first breakup khoa's image took a lot of damage - bruce really starts to wonder if khoa wasn't just a monster and he was the only one not seeing it. He thinks minhkhoa is sabotaging him, and that he might have killed alfred and his ex-girlfriend.
But of course nothing of this it's true and Khoa manages to undo some of the damage to bruce's opinion of him by trying to warn him about the guy actually sabotaging and trying to kill both of them (he also almost dies in the process, which i'm sure made him seem extra harmless and babygirly to bruce), so i guess that was enough to take away the thoughts of khoa being very likely to kill him one day.
He also offers a justification for the two murders he committed (Luka and master Ouahbi - honestly, what's the deal with all those criminals/ex criminals being both so good at diagnosing people with psychopathy and hating them so much????), and it was good enough for bruce, i guess? Tbh, he was mostly just trying to not think too deeply about it, 'cause he just wanted to have a little more time with him so badly. He would do so many things for khoa, and forgive him for so much stuff. HOW COULD KHOA FUMBLE HIM SO BADLY-
One thing I think about a lot is how in btk #7, bruceโ€™s broken heart is addressed - he only references his trauma with his parents death in the issue, but the last issue ended with him saying his heart was broken bc of khoa so we can infer that heโ€™s thinking about what happened between the two of them too. I find it interesting how this seems to be bruceโ€™s way of dealing with khoa - he doesn't talk about him. Dick mentions it in Batman (2016) #104
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And bruce never says a word about what happened between him and khoa to zatanna
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I wonder if this is his way of keeping khoa with him. As he says, his heart never heals bc he doesn't let it - and so, he never talks about khoa, he only talks with zatanna about the loss of his parents, and he tells dick some of the bad khoa did to him, but doesn't delve into how important he was to him, or the good times they spent together, or how willing he was and still is to forgive him (tho he ends up showing him this part anyways when he goes to ghostmaker to ask him to coparent batman inc. with him when he first started it). He tells their story in a way that makes it seem like their separation didn't affect him negatively at all - dick only realizes bruce still misses him bc of his super powers of seeing right through bruceโ€™s emotional barriers. But bruce keeps refusing to talk about khoa, or adress the ways in which he is still hurting, so he nevers gets better, and thus, khoa is still with him in a way, if only in wounds he left behind.
I also think bruce focuses a lot on everything bad khoa did to him and tries so hard to not even think about the good parts of their relationship bc the truth is, in his heart, the good outweighs the bad by a lot. Which is the reason why khoa barely has to do anything to win him back every time he comes back - bc despite everything, bruce has always been way too willing to forgive him for everything, and all he really has to do is to come back, and be willing to stay for a little while longer.

Bad End Cinderella (Visual Novel)
Created by: Hamartia
Genre: Horror/Tragedy
Bad End Cinderella is pretty good for a more horror based yandere. It's about a king who just won't let go of his love and delusionally does everything he can to be with his love after his divorce to his queen. The king is kind of a jerk honestly and it's great. It can only end in tragedy and that makes the game better.
The story starts with Claude arranging a divorce with his wife, and is very annoyed and bitter about it. He thinks about his childhood friend, Ella, as he signs the divorce papers and the past they had together. It seemed that they were very close friends until Claude ended up shunning her at a party for basically being a poor commoner. Although he writes a letter afterwards apologizing, he never gets anything back. Claude's obsession gets stronger and stronger, as he realizes that he could now marry her after his divorce, convinced that the two are meant to be together. He ends up going to Esra, a powerful prophet about what their future will be together. While reluctant, Esra ends up seeing a tragic future for the two, begging that they stop before he does something irreversible. Claude upon hearing this doesn't seem to care at all, so as long as he can be together with Ella. He decides to look for allies and ends up running into a knight named Floren, who seems to hate Claude. The two have some history together as children, and he seems annoyed that Claude is just doing all of this and trying to take Ella. The end is him contemplating about what he should do with the
It's a rather short demo, but I am a sucker for watching a yandere's spiral into madness. Claude himself is a pretty terrible person, annoyed by everything and delusional believing that Ella will be his despite having not seen her in so long. He has no idea if she has another lover and the two essentially ended on bad terms despite the fact that Claude sent an apology letter. Despite the warning Esra has for him, he keeps going, and I assume as the story goes on, he will just keep ignoring the advice of others and just pushes through until he reaches the end, which at that point he won't have any way to escape and will just have to face the consequences of his actions. Like I said, the setup for tragedy is already there and so with dramatic irony we just watch him fall into the abyss, as it were.
The artwork is by Jambee (I'd assume) considering that it looks very much like Sunny Day Jack (style wise). As per usual, the artwork looks very good and professional (though I'm not sure what's with Jambee's thing of giving everyone that swoopy front hair because it makes everyone look like Jack-whatever) and it's really cool to see all of the CGs for it.
Overall, I think it's a good start for a demo. Considering it was made in 9 hours, that's pretty impressive for a game like this. Hopefully we get to see more development of this game in the future.

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Souma in: Having a Baker S/o
(Char. Involved: Sลma Yukihira, Akira Hayama, Erina Nakiri, Takumi Aldini)
Tumblr media
Sลma Yukihira
-Same old Soma tbh
-Sees you as quite the worthy adversary whether or not you're better than he is
-Always the first one to try your dishes
โ€œCโ€™mon! Lemme have a taste, it looks so good!โ€
-Biggest supporter honestlyย 
-It doesn't make him any less likely to make you try his gross dishes though
โ€œOh don't be a scaredy cat, Just one bite!โ€ย 
-At least one food war per day honestly
ย ย ย ย ย ย -Tiring, to say the least
-I'd like to think he has a sweet tooth so you being a baker is like heaven for him
โ€œEverything is here. The cake is cooling in the fridge, The fondant is rolled and properly colored and the frosting is-'' I pause my listing as I realize the frosting isn't where I left it. โ€œHuh?โ€ Did I misplace it or something? โ€œCould've sworn I left it right here.โ€ I blink twice in an attempt to backtrack from when I had it. โ€œOkay, so I remember grabbing the ingredients from the fridge, then setting them right here,โ€ pointing to the counter as I pull a pout. โ€œThen I brought out the stand mixer and began making it. Afterward, I turned away to put the mixer away but when I turned back I still remember seeing it.โ€ I close my eyes in hopes thatโ€™ll jog my memory, โ€œThen I ran to my room to get my molding knives and called Soma in to watch the Strawberry puree boiling.โ€ Wait. I called Soma. โ€œI came back and that's when I don't recall seeing it.โ€ That bastard. โ€œSOMA!โ€ I yell throughout the dorm as I dash to his room in a fit of annoyance. As I made my way past several of my roommates, they each gave a fearful expression and made way for me to get by. I clutch the doorknob, slamming the door wide open as I catch the thief red-handed. He had the spoon halfway in his mouth as the frosting was mostly gone, eyes slightly dilating at my entrance. โ€œOh, Uh...Hey Y/n.โ€ I glare at him, โ€œWhy are you eating my frosting.โ€ He looks anywhere but my gaze as he lets out a nervous chuckle, โ€œIt looked good so I took a bit and then a bit turned into a spoonful, and well you see what happened.โ€ I sigh, โ€œWhatever, just know youโ€™re making me dinner for the next month for that.โ€ He smirks, โ€œWhy say that like it's a bad thing? I love making food for you, Y/n.โ€ My heart warms at his sentiment, โ€œYeah yeah.โ€ I make my way to close the door but stop just short to peek my head in, โ€œHowever, do that again and Iโ€™ll make sure the only thing you can eat is frosting.โ€ He drops his smile to replace it with worry at my threat, โ€œYes maโ€™am.โ€ I close the door and shake my head, too touched to be truly mad. โ€œHe thought it was that good?โ€ I let out a breathy laugh on my way back to the kitchen to remake it, โ€œStop making me want you to come back to steal my food you idiot.โ€ย 
Tumblr media
Akira Hayama
-Very proud of youย 
-However, he isn't very keen on showing it so youโ€™ll have to be patient
-There are some things you add in that even he doesn't sniff out which is probably the only time heโ€™ll get curious and ask about it
โ€œMaking something new? What crazy ingredient did you add this time, hm?โ€
-May act all mean but he is actually very excited when you come to let him try your food
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย -Never call him out though, heโ€™ll always deny it
- โ€œThis again? Still hard at work trying to perfect it, are you? Fine ill have a taste.โ€
-Don't let the facade fool you, heโ€™d hate if you asked anyone else to try your food.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย -Can be a bit childish when it comes to that
โ€œIs it too salty?โ€ He smacks his lips a few times, taking in the flavor. โ€œIf anything it's a bit lumpy, kinda dry too.โ€ I scrunch my face, โ€œOdd. Could've sworn I kept the heat low enough. Guess I wasn't paying enough attention.โ€ He tilts his head, โ€œThe flavors aren't bad though, honestly pretty perfect if you ask me.โ€ I give a small smile, delighted by his praise. โ€œSorry to drag you all the way here for this Soma.โ€ He gives a low chuckle, โ€œNo problem. I'm always down to taste test, especially your amazing food!โ€ I grab the plate with the crumbs of the cake I had recently made and brought it to the sink, โ€œYou do not need to flatter me.โ€ He shakes his head, โ€œNo flattery needed. Youโ€™re talented, nothing to sugar coat yโ€™know.โ€ I wasn't sure how to respond to such blatant compliments so I settled for a small lopsided grin.ย  โ€œThanks, that means a lot. Especially coming from the first seat of the council himself.โ€ A light pink brushed his cheeks, โ€œNow whos doing the flattering? It's nothing to brag about. I do have a lot I must improve on.โ€ His ability to grow never ceases to surprise me, โ€œYou have quite the determined spirit, it's admirable.โ€ย 
โ€œYeah, I'm sure he's quite the guy.โ€ย 
We both turn to the voice that chimed in, โ€œAh, Akira, how's it going?โ€ Soma inquires with his usual enthusiasm but the albino doesn't share the sentiment. โ€œFine. What's happening here?โ€ I don't miss his dismissive tone as he turns himself to me. โ€œSoma was just taste-testing a recent cake I was making.โ€ He narrowed his eyes for a moment, โ€œWell how's that going?โ€ He asked but I'm certain he didn't really want the honest answer to that. โ€œStill need some tweaking, but good overall.โ€ He folds his arms, โ€œWell I'm glad he's been of assistance. Now I think thats enough for today, it's getting late.โ€ Its 6:30โ€ฆ Soma chirps up, โ€œWell i gotta head out, needa prepare some stuff for tomorrow's food war, see yaโ€™!โ€ He waves as he leaves the room, and for a split second, you could see a glint of a smirk on Akiraโ€™s face.
โ€œYouโ€™re such a jealous child.โ€
โ€œShut up.โ€
โ€œYou know I'm right.โ€ He pulls me in, pressing a warm kiss to my forehead, โ€œYou don't need him to taste your food. I was here yโ€™know.โ€ I rest on his chest, โ€œYou never really seemed interested in tasting my food so I asked Soma since he wasn't busy.โ€ He tightens his grip, โ€œDon't do that again. Just come to me and ill give you feedback.โ€ I give a knowing smile but don't comment on his obvious jealousy, โ€œWell ill keep that in mind.โ€
Tumblr media
Erina Nakiri
-A true sweetheart honestly
-Will 100% help you with your sweets and pastries as the loving girlfriend she is
-Baking dates every weekend is a must
ย โ€œQuite the variety you have! All this for just one night?โ€
-Takes a little more time to judge the taste since she does truly enjoy your food and doesn't want to miss any key flavors
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย -Has to take a few tastes to actually take it in and not just judge with her god tongue and all that
โ€œWow, this is well made! The ganache you used brings a beautiful contrast to the moisture from the cake; well done my dear.โ€
-Basically, her and Hisako's relationship if they were dating; just very doting and sweet entanglement
ย -Loves when you surprise her with your treats after/during a long day
ย ย ย ย ย ย -Simply brightens her whole day
ย ย (might be ooc)
ย ย ย ย The kitchen brimmed with anticipation as I stood beside her as she flour-dusted the countertops, and the sweet scent of vanilla permeated the air. Today, she had invited me to step into her world, to experience the artistry she crafted every day.
I watched with admiration as Y/n effortlessly measured ingredients, their hands moving with precision and grace. Their culinary intuition was a marvel, as they expertly combined flavors and textures to create a symphony of tastes. The kitchen became their canvas, and I was fortunate enough to witness the strokes of their pure genius.
With every task that was to assigned me, Y/nโ€™s patience and guidance enveloped me. They encouraged me to embrace the techniques, trust my instincts, and pour love into each step. Their professional expertise blended with unwavering belief in me, ignited a newfound passion within my heart.
As we worked side by side, I absorbed their knowledge like a sponge. They shared secrets and tricks, while their insights lifted my baking skills to new heights. The boundaries between teacher and student blurred, as our connection deepened and our shared love for the craft blossomed.
The oven hummed, the heat embracing our creations with warmth and anticipation. Together, we carefully placed our masterpieces inside, entrusting them to the alchemy of heat and time. The kitchen transformed into a sanctuary of hope and creativity, where dreams and flavors melded together.
As we waited for our creations to bake, Y/n's presence filled the room with an aura of confidence. They smiled,ย  eyes gleaming with pride and love. At that moment, I knew that this experience was not just about bakingโ€”it was a testament to the beautiful bond we shared.
As the aroma of freshly baked goods filled the air, we opened the oven with eager anticipation. The sight before us took my breath awayโ€”golden perfection, a testament to our collaboration and dedication. With a sense of accomplishment, we adorned our creations with delicate touches, transforming them into edible works of art.
Sitting at the table, forks in hand, we tasted the fruits of our labor. Each bite danced on my taste buds, an orchestra of flavors that sang of our love and shared passion. At that moment, I felt the warmth of Y/nโ€™s presence, the fulfillment of our culinary journey, and the sweet taste of a love nurtured by the joy of creation.
Baking with Y/n was more than an adventure in the kitchenโ€”it was a glimpse into her world, a celebration of her talent, and a reminder of the beautiful bond we shared. Together, we wove a tapestry of flavors and emotions, creating a lasting memory that would forever sweeten our lives.

Takumi Aldini
-A tad competitiveย 
-Will mellow out when youโ€™re practicing your craft though
-Absolutely will stare hard at you (but do not point that out, he will blush and pout)
โ€œN-No! I wasn't staring. I don't know what youโ€™re talking about.โ€
-Please make him some, will be fussy if you don't let him have what you made
-Will always give you pointers though so never be afraid to ask
ย ย ย ย -Especially loves it when you come up to him to ask; makes him feel all bubbly inside And a bit outside too. (Again, don't point it out. Tsun-Tsun.)
I carefully dusted the final touches of powdered sugar onto the delicate pastries, admiring the golden crust and the perfectly piped cream filling. My heart swelled with pride as I surveyed the display of my creations in the bakery. This was my passion, my artโ€”the result of years of dedication and hard work.
Just as I was about to take a step back to fully appreciate the beauty before me, I felt a pair of arms wrapping around my waist. Takumi, my Italian chef boyfriend, nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine.
"Y/n, these look amazing," he murmured, his voice filled with admiration. "But you know, there's something missing."
I turned my head to catch a glimpse of his mischievous smile. "Oh? And what might that be?"
He pouted playfully, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Well, you see, I've been craving your sweet treats all day. You can't just tempt me with these delectable pastries and not save a few for your beloved Italian chef."
I couldn't help but chuckle at his theatrics. Takumi had a way of tugging at my heartstrings with his charm and infectious enthusiasm for food.
"All right, all right," I relented, unable to resist his request. "I'll save a couple of pastries just for you. But you better be prepared to savor every bite, Takumi."
He grinned triumphantly, his eyes gleaming with delight. "That's what I like to hear, Y/n. You know just how to make me happy."
As I carefully set aside a small box of pastries reserved exclusively for him, I couldn't help but marvel at the power food had to bring us closer. Our shared love for culinary delights was a bond that we cherishedโ€”a language of flavors and textures that spoke volumes in our relationship.
And so, with a secret stash of pastries hidden away, I looked forward to the moment when Takumi would indulge in my sweet creations. Because in those moments, as he savored every bite, I knew that our connection was strengthened, and our love for each other grew sweeter, one dessert at a time.
(This is my first writing piece on this platform so it's not the best but I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless. Never hesitate to make a request and ill make time for it.)

Pardon this extremely tired ramble, but...
Isn't basically any MLM ship in MH just some variation and combination of the traits in toxic doomed men-in-their-20s yaoi?
Like... let's see:
Jam: Doomed men-in-their-20s yaoi
(can also be toxic depending on take. Don't hate me for saying this. Don't hate me for saying this.)
Brim: Doomed men-in-their-20s yaoi
(can also be toxic depending on take. Don't hate me for saying this. Don't hate me for saying this.)
Bray: Doomed men-in-their-20s yaoi
Timlex: Toxic doomed men-in-their-20s yaoi
Jaylex: Toxic doomed men-in-their-20s yaoi
Brilex: Toxic doomed men-in-their-20s yaoi
Poly w/ all the guys: Toxic VERY doomed men-in-their-20s yaoi
(I hate marking all Alex ships as toxic... but if we're going purely off of story and assuming the relationships persevere into the Slender Sickness thing... Holy fuck it's gonna get bad. Once those delusions and madness stuffs start kicking in the cuteness is killed *unfortunately* and so is at least one of them *depending on ship*
Also I marked all of the Tim ones w/o Alex as "can be toxic" just because of the way we see Tim's dynamic with the others play out. It would primarily cause issues in the stability and trust levels of the relationship because of the way the story goes. The sickness happens, the tapes, oh no! Tim looks evil, etc etc... everyone keeps stealing Tim's meds- etc etc.
Honestly... all of them could be marked with the "toxic" label because of the nature of the MH canon... like, they all really don't get along past a certain point... so I don't imagine relationships that are romantic would be much better at persevering in that scenario, either...)
Like... I'm talking about if we're being 100% true to canon events. No "Oh this is before this" or "this is a different storyline"
Does this make sense?
I can't tell if I make sense...
(Also, I hope this is obvious, but NO HATE to ANY shippers of these ships. I apologize if it comes off as hate. I do not mean it in a bad way, simply that by the nature of the MH canon, the ships are almost always stuck being doomed and / or toxic.)
Well... at least that's one thing that bonds us... no matter what we ship, it's always doomed. We are united by doom.
*cause like??? basically everyone fucking dies??? what the fuck??! no wonder we as a fandom occasionally make cute ship stuff! because we don't get cuteness! we just get madness and doom! fuck the doom, we make them make out sloppy. fuck yeah.*
