SPOILERS(me just yapping about arcane)
I don’t know how to feel about the 2nd season to Arcane. Like I was crying for one second and then the horny mfs did it in what was JINXES JAIL CELL. I was like “WOAHHHHH OKAY-“ I had to pause to cry and then like lock in to something else.
Also I’m glad that Viktor didn’t just die without not knowing what would’ve happened, I’m glad he saw what Jayce saw so he knew what he needed before he went. I am very glad that they died together. It think the idea that they started with them and ended with them was so perfect so good.
Also- Maddie being a little two time bitch- omg. To be fair. She is a victim to manipulation as well but we can’t excuse that. But for Maddie I feel neutral- like yeah I don’t like her but I get it why she is who she is.
Seeing Jinx in the jail cell picking at her fingers till they bled made me realize I was doing it myself. Like I had never seen anyone in my real life and in tv shows go to that extent like I do. And I don’t do it for anxiety or anything, I do because it’s like something I need to pick at with my nails and when I say Jinx do it I was like… “I feel seen?” I mean not really, the situations are drastically different and way worse for Jinx.
Also MY WIFE SEVIKA???? Barely in the show and I know that she becomes counselor and shit but that doesn’t excuse the fact that she was barely there?? I mean yeah she comes for the big fight and it’s really powerful but I can’t help but feel way too neutral about it.
Ekko learning about timelines and loops was probably the only thing I had enjoyed while watching the whole thing go down. Like idk why but the fact that it was just so different was refreshing. I found it interesting and I wanted more of that without like any rushing.
I also felt rushed? Like everything was going all over the place- it was really fast and I can’t tell if I’m just a loser or I’m missing obvious lore that I can’t really get into right now. (That’s how I am with FNAF like I know the lore but idk about any of the books or the extensive lore stuff like my friends- I just don’t think I could get into like that.) I loved arcane. It made me cry, fear, laugh a bit- and we got the scene of sex we wanted. But like after watching it I felt strangely empty about it. Idk but the sex scene felt very inappropriate where it was set and I can’t help but feel that it’s kinda perfect for them. Like it seems like something exactly that Caitlyn and Vi would have but yet I felt really… uncomfortable? And that weird because like that shit don’t happen- I was very happy it was going to happen but maybe not the way that it did.
It’s not a downgrade. It’s a slight upgrade in my book on the terms of content. Don’t come at me but maybe I should give it a second watch when it’s not 3 AM.

just saw ur scott reblog gRAAAHH WOOF WOOF anyway !!! and it inspired me to request something <3 (love ur writing btw) pls write something with scott and how big he is 😣 a lil suggestive if u know what i mean 🙈
OHH YOU GET IT SO HARD + thank you so much !! 🫶🏼🫶🏼 whenever someone says they like my writing i get so giddy, it’s just the sweetest 😞
Anyways!!! Absolutely, thank you for fueling my obsession with this large man 💓
Just some scattered Scott x reader thoughts really
|CW; somewhat suggestive, he calls you girl once ☝🏼 incredibly obvious size kink from both parties whoops, he’s pretty canon-accurately an asshole, + suggested dom/sub relationship stuff??? Kinda??? Like not really but a little bit??? idk how else to tag that lmao. Obviously there’s a size difference here but it’s not specific, you could really just be shorter than him and it’d work just the same mwah <33
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first time you really notice is a total accident, you got caught up in the sight of the storm in front of you, not even given time to react to his stern “get in.” before he’s picking you up and putting you back in the car.
“What the hell was that?” He snapped, figuratively and literally as you blankly stare at him, still focused on how effortlessly he carried you back to the car.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know, it was just so close-“
“Yeah, no shit it was close. You could’ve gotten yourself killed. You have to pay more attention than that.”
You just nodded, staring at the way his hands flexed as he drove away, suddenly aware of the drastic contrast between the two of you. He picked you up like it was nothing, which was nothing considering the size of him, you just hadn’t thought about it in that way before.
——
He doesn’t think anything of it for a while, chalking your lingering glances up to his over-analytical mind, until you unintentionally piss him off with it.
“Is this going to be a problem for you?” He was right in your face, arms crossed over his chest as he bitterly chewed his gum, working himself up even more when you couldn’t give him a direct answer.
“If you can’t do your job ‘cause you’re too busy staring at me or whatever the fuck, I’ll have to move you to Javi’s team. Got it?” He barked, shaking his head as he stormed off.
As soon as he realizes why you’ve been staring at him, it’s over.
You were at the diner with the rest of the team, smiling as you walked to the table, bumping into some hard, tall, figure in front of you on the way.
He turned to steady you, big hands landing on your waist. “You ever try paying attention to what you’re doing? It’s pretty helpful.” He was a dick, sure. But you still found yourself focusing more on the feeling of his hands and the way your face warmed up at his assertive tone.
“You ever try not being an asshole?” You rolled your eyes at him before you walked away, but he didn’t miss the pause, or the way your breath picked up at his words. He put it together then, having been so caught up in work he didn’t realize just how tolerable you were getting, his hands constantly drifting towards you absentmindedly whenever you were close enough.
——
He usually went to work to get his job done and go home which was made clear, but after a while he got carried away. Comfortable enough being around you to end up reluctantly carrying you out of the car one night.
He tried to wake you up, met with sleepy grunts and you repositioning yourself before falling back to sleep.
He wanted to just leave you in the car, give you a blanket or ‘whatever’ but it was too cold, and you were in some small town he didn’t know well enough. He rolled his eyes as he took you out, large, rough hands a nice juxtaposition to the way he gently lifted you up.
He had to bring you to his room, not sure of where your room key was and not interested in dealing with your mood if he woke you back up.
He laid you down on the bed, throwing the blanket over you before taking off his work shirt and getting ready to begrudgingly sleep on the couch in his own room.
He went to turn off the lights, groaning when he saw you sit up, whining and stretching your arms.
“You know your necks gonna hurt if you sleep on that couch, Scotty. C’mere.” You sleepily muttered, patting the bed next to you.
He knew it was a bad idea, not missing the new nickname as he put his face in his hands, too exhausted to argue and too self-aware to disregard the attitude he’d have if he woke up to you in his bed and a sore neck.
“Jesus Christ. Alright, fine. One time. Don’t make it weird.” He gruffed as he turned the light off before slipping into bed next to you.
You were facing him as he faced the ceiling, his arms crossed firmly along his chest like some grumpy old man, still awake and motionless when you cuddled into him in your sleep.
——
After that he’s basically torturing you until you say it out loud. Putting his hands on your waist all casual to move past you, refusing to acknowledge any of it first.
Both of his hands were on your shoulders as he crouched down to be eye level with you, losing his patience after he caught you staring at his arms when he was trying to talk to you.
“If you want something, you’ll have to use your words like a big girl and ask for it. All this pouty, wordless shit won’t work with me. I need you to listen to me when I talk to you.” He spat condescendingly, minty gum popping in your ears. He grabbed your chin between his thumb and pointer when you shook your head.
“No? I can’t give you what you want if you don’t tell me what you want. I’m not about to guess.” You squeezed your eyes shut to get away from his intense stare.
“I don’t want to say it here.” You barely whispered, opening your eyes when he sighed.
“Damn it.” He breathed before pausing, standing up tall and scanning over the parking lot you were in.
“Alright, come on.” He said bluntly before grabbing you and throwing you over his shoulder.
“Scott-“ You pouted as he swept you back to his motel room.
“Just shut up and let me help you out for once, yeah?”

A little airplaneshiping drabble (with the twins as decentish wingmen)
——-
“Hellloo Emmet!”
The greeting is shouted, Skyla had burst into the Subway Station on her free day. Wanting to share it with the people she called her closest friends.
“Helllooo Skyla! What brings you to here?!”
A pause, where’s Ingo? Usually they’re joint at the hip.
“Hii Ingo!”
A few more seconds of silence.
“Helloo Skyla. What brings you here? Shouldn’t you be up in the air again today?”
She smiles bright. Her hands reach for the tickets in her small satchel that rests on her shoulder.
“I got a free day! Sooo I decided to come visit you guys, Elesa and Burgh have a joint show tonight and I thought it might be fun to go see it.”
The twins stare at her with wide eyes, hopefully they don’t notice her blushing as soon as she mentioned the gym leader of their city.
But if the sniggers between them were saying anything it was that Emmet and Ingo knew about Skyla’s big fat crush on Elesa.
“Sooooo, why don’t you just go yourself? After all you want to see her, make sure to buy her flowers or chocolates she looooves those!”
That’s Emmet, he’s trying to be helpful but god! Skyla didn’t want to bombard her with gifts right after a jam packed show, Elesa gets that enough with her fans!
“Nope, I know she’ll be tired and seeing her childhood friends there is bound to pick up her spirit!”
Emmet “Ohhs” in response to her reasoning, Skyla had not only thought of the future but she’d known Elesa well enough to know what’s a yes or a no after her shows.
“I see, Ingo do you have an idea? If we are to go we’ll need a way to get these two lovebirds alooone~“
Skyla shoves Emmet away from her, embarrassed that her crush was that obvious!
God she’d done everything to keep it in, so why did it come down to Elesa’s childhood friends helping her?
“Maybe causing a ruckus with her fans will help them get out together? As long as no one runs after them I say it’s a verry solid plan!”
That’s an instant no.
Elesa would rather get in the nearest taxi and speed of to wherever she’s staying!
“Sorry Ingo, but that’s slightly and I mean really drastic! Maybe I should just go alone, like you said it’d be an easier route to take.”
The twins nod at Skyla, smiles on their faces. The two of them knew their best friend was in good hands.
And that was all they wanted for Elesa, someone who loved her enough to notice every little detail.
Skyla was the perfect match.
“Thank you for the advice guys! I promise someday soon we’ll get to hang out together again!”
So as Skyla ran off to prepare for the show, the twins bask in the glory of another win.
They were the best wingmen after all!
——-
“They really said all that! I expected the lovey dovey stuff from Emmet BUT INGO?! Now I have to see him fall in loooveee!”
Skyla smiles at her now girlfriend, it had been a few months now since that day. The twins had given her that courage she needed to ask Elesa out.
God she thanks Emmet and Ingo each and every day.
“I know! I had to shut Ingo down instantly though, his idea was slightly crazy.”
The two of them share a laugh, oh this was bliss.
——-
I hope you guys like it! Sorry if the twins are ooc (it’s my first time writing them)
but yeah I might make this longer at some point but idk!

7: The Wendigo and The Box; Winchesters x Younger Sibling (OC)
Tumblr media
quick authors note: hi, been a minute. i started thingking this fic was shit but then i was like "i've read worse and if I know it's not as bad as those fics, then im golden. but enjoy chapter 7. idk what im doing here lol
After Jamie left the Euporium, she got everything she needed, she even managed to find a decent laptop bag. She continued to explore, getting a bit hungry after all the news. She found a local diner and took a seat. Her head was spinning, all the information she just got, out of one person. Lady Luck really must have a crush on her. She looked out thewindow as she waited. 
“Evening. What can I get for you?” A woman asked. 
Jamie turned and flash a smile. 
“Can I get a cream soda and one piece of that pie to go.” She asked with a smile.
“Sure thing boss, do you want your drink with ice cream?” The waitress asked.
“I can have ice cream with creame soda ?” Jamie asked, her eyes getting wide.
“Well yeah. We have vanilla or sherbert.”
“Vanilla to go then, please.” Jamie said pulling a twenty out of her pocket. “Charge me and keep the change.” 
“Are you sure? That’s a ten dollar tip?” The waitress asked. Jamie winked and nodded before turning back to the window. 
She couldn’t help but continue to think about Histor. Besides her Dad that was the closest she had ever been to her mother and she was getting closer by the second. Jamie was no fool though. 
She already anticipated how much research she would be doing so she picked up a journal and some hard drives when she found her laptop bag. 
If someone was looking for her, she should tell her family. Someone, in case something happens. 
She pulled out her phone and passed by Dean and Sam’s contacts till she reached Uncle Bobby. The phone rang two times before her uncle picked up.
“Hello?”
“Bobby, we need to talk.”
Jamie explained everything by that had happened in the last week, she explained what Histor told her and how she felt about it. Bobby listened. He was staring wide eyed at his notes as he listened to what Jamie said, taking sips from his cup as she continued.
“Wait, so why even break the spell if it’s protecting you from someone?” Bobby asked. he was never so surprised about anything anymore, more shocked when it didn’t end up being something weird.
“Remember a couple of months ago when you found me by the Corvette in the junkyard and I didn’t know how I got there? He said that keep happening and will get worse. The spell is stopping whatever is inside of me from ‘awakening’ and it could kill me if something isn’t done and I don’t want to die Bobby.” She said. 
“You seem pretty adjusted to this news.” Bobby said sarcastically. “but we don’t want you dying. Have you been losing more time?” 
“I’ve had some time but No, that was the only time as far as I know but I don’t know, even since we got on the road I’ve felt different. I’m getting worked up easier and it’s getting harder to stay civil with Sam and Dean. I just feel like I’m losing control sometimes.” She admitted. “When I touched Dad’s notes, I had a vision. I can feel it, Bobby, whatever Frida had, I have.”
“Well, you call me if you start going dark. I still haven’t told your Dad or Dean about the sleepwalking.”
“Yeah, I haven’t told them anything yet. I’m scared they are going to do something drastic, especially if they find out I could drop dead because of some unknown spell. We’ve never dealt with anything this big before and Dad thinks something even bigger is happening, could they be related?” 
“I have no clue hon, we just have to take it one step at a time,” Bobby said. He was never super emotional or anything, but he was more of a father to the siblings than their own Dad. in the year Jamie had been there, they had gotten closer. They had agreed that she could look for her Mom so long as she told Bobby everything and he promised to keep it between them until they couldn’t.
“So, what do you know about witnesses?” Jamie asked. 
“Gee kid, let me just pull out my notes on biblical bloodlines,” Bobby said sarcastically. “Are you sure you should even mess with this? How can you even trust this guy?”
“I don’t know. It’s all I got right now.” Jamie said. Her order was brought to her table and she immediately dug into the soda float but she still thought about what Bobby said.
“Well if you do trust him maybe you shouldn’t do anything. He did say that the spell is protecting you from someone, you most likely don’t wanna meet them.”
“I know Bobby but you know when you wake up after not eating dinner. How the hunger stays through the day. That’s how I’ve felt since I was a kid. I just need closure.” Jamie said. She heard him sigh heavily on the other side of the line.
“Alright but, if I help you, you have to tell the boys. We can’t do this without them.” Bobby said. Jamie sighed. “And if we do break that spell, you are sticking it out in a safe house till we figure something out.”
Of course, she knew why these conditions existed. Even more so now that she knew there could be someone after her head. She debated for a moment. Was telling Bobby the best thing? It was the safest bet.
“I know, and I will tell them. If they find out from you I will never have freedom again but even though I just got all this information, I don’t think they will believe me until I either have evidence or they witness it. I want to avoid telling them about it if I can. When I first touched Dad’s notes, I saw a vision of him. It felt like someone threw gravity at me.” Bobby couldn’t help but chuckle. Just as he was about to say something, Jamie saw the familiar shape of the Impala pull up on the street. “I gotta go, Bobby, thanks.” She hung up quickly and grabbed her stuff. Sam and Dean were leaning on the car waiting for her.
“Here.” She passed the to-go to Dean, handing Sam the bags of supplies. 
“Is this pie?” Dean asked untying the bag.
“No, it’s a bag of cat poop.” Jamie joked as she sipped on her soda. Dean cringed but peaked inside anyway.
“It is pie!” Dean said showing off the dessert to his brother as if to brag.
“Sam, why didn’t you tell me I could put ice cream in my soda?” Jamie asked innocently.
“Because it’s bad for you.” He said rolling his eyes. Dean put his hand out for the cup, wanting to try it. Jamie stared at him. Sam had been watching her since they pulled up, ever since the hospital she seemed off.
“I got you pie and now you want my soda shake?” She asked, offended. Dean nodded with a smirk.
“Gotta make sure it’s not poison.” He said sarcastically. Jamie handed the drink over to her brother and moved to the back door. 
“Common, we have places to be boys.” She said, opening the door and hopping in. Her brothers followed.
“So. Who were you talking to?” Sam asked as they got ready to take off.
“Bobby. I forgot to call him last time so I filled him in.” Jamie answered. She was just staring out the window, sipping on her shake.
“Okay, what did you do?” Sam asked again.
“Went to a couple of shops, walked around. That’s it.” Which wasn’t at all a lie, it just wasn’t the full truth.
“Okay?” Sam said. he looked at his brother, who was more focused on picking a less-played cassette than anything else going on in the car. In Sam’s mind, something was wrong. Jamie was always excited to tell him about her day, whenever she did something new. He huffed to himself and looked back at the map. Glancing at the side mirror to see Jamie’s face in the window. 
Her eyes were a little puffy. Was she crying?
“How much did you spend?” He asked in a joking manner. California was not cheap, never was and probably never will be. 
“uh, maybe like two or three hundred, I’m not sure,” Jamie answered, not taking her gaze off the window.
“Where the hell did you spend three hundred dollars? You got maybe 50 bucks worth of supplies, that bag was probably another thirty, and food was twenty. Where did the other two hundred go?” He asked. “I’m not trying to tell you how to spend your money but why start spending it now?”
Dean had turned down the music. Hardly ever was Sam taking on the role of impromptu parent, but he was also curious and sam was hardly ever wrong about math. Dean listened silently, ever since he got back she had been acting weird, even before she was attacked. He couldn’t put his finger on it, Jamie had very few tells and they were always easy to miss.
Jamie still didn’t take her gaze off the window. 
“Dude, you’re paranoid.” She said calmly. 
“Then let me see your receipts.” 
“Tossed em. Why would I carry around trash?” Jamie said. Sam was about to keep going back and forth with her when Dean joined in.
“Jamie.”
“Yes, Dean?” She said, she didn’t want to panic but she felt like the questioning wasn’t going to end well for her.
“Are you telling us the truth about what you did today?” He asked. He wasn’t even taking his eyes off the road, but his tone of voice told her he was serious. If she lied she would probably never go on a hunt again, or leave Bobby’s house. She had the receipts, but there was too much evidence about her excursion on them since she wrote down the spell on one of them. She debated for a while and remembered what Bobby said about telling them the truth. Maybe they would help her?
“Fine. You can’t be mad though.” She said scooting to the middle seat.
“Well, that depends. You already lied.” Sam said. He was usually more patient with her, the roles being reversed were weird.
“Right well, you shouldn’t dwell on the past Sam. I found someone who knew my mom and I asked for a favor.” Jamie said quickly. 
Now it was Dean’s turn to be mad. The car jutted to a stop. Gravel kicked under Baby’s wheels as they pulled off the road.
“You what!?”
“Hey chill out, he didn’t know anything useful,” Jamie said, putting her hands up. She blinked. Dean hadn’t taken his eyes off of her. His brow was furrowed and his lips did not have the usual smirk. He looked torn like he was mad but didn’t want to be. 
“Why do you always get mad when I talk about my mom? I know what you guys went through but that is no reason to punish me.” Jamie said, staring her brother in the eyes; if she looked away now it would be suspicious. 
Sam blew air and leaned his head back. That’s what was off. She was still hiding the fact she was searching for her Mom. It was only weird because Jamie’s a chatterbox most of the time. She would talk about any and everything. Sam gulped and weighed his options. 
Better late than never he thought to himself. Worse case Demario she does find her mom, she did kill those people and she kills Jamie. If they don’t know where she is they may never find her body.
“You’re right, but you don’t know the full story, Jamie,” Sam said. He wasn’t looking at his siblings. He couldn’t. He felt like his life was some huge fucking joke in that moment. Not because of what his siblings were saying, not because his Dad was M.I.A., it just felt like a joke. How he would never have a normal life how he could never really escape hunting or his dead mom, he was just done with it all.
“What do you mean, I don’t know the whole story? She called, she was gone I was there? Right?” Sam cringed when he heard the pitch in his sister’s voice change. She was always level-headed and headstrong. She never cared about anything but being okay but he knew that when she found out, it wouldn’t be pretty.
“Sam!” Dean scolded. He was glaring daggers at his brother. “Why the fuck would you say that?” He asked.
“Dean, she isn’t going to stop looking! When have we ever been able to give her a good reason not too? I’d rather she find her mom and we know than find her and something happens and we don’t know.”
“Yes, she is if she knows what’s good for her. She could get herself killed!”
“Dean, she needs to know the truth. We can’t keep treating her like she is some toddler! Jamie, when we picked you up that night you weren’t the only person in the house. Upstairs there were six men, dead. Dad never wanted you to know that your Mom was probably the one to kill them.” Sam said. He felt a weight lift from his shoulders. “There ya go. that’s the big secret. That is why they don’t want you to find your mom.”
Dean scoffed and threw his hands up. He was turning away from his sister and facing forward. Dean wanted to say something but what could he say? Over a decade of lies had just been unraveled by his brother and his sister had yet to speak.
“Okay. Fine. Let’s just go.” Jamie relented.
“Wait that’s it?” Sam asked, putting his hands up.
“What do you want me to say, Sam? That I’m angry? Do you want me to start crying like a child? There is nothing to change it. Thank you for telling me.” 
The brothers said nothing. Dean turned the engine over and pulled onto the road. Jamie went back to her spot staring out the window. 
The drive was silent except for the pur of the Impala and the wind that flew past it.
She wasn’t going to cry, she was far too old to start crying, but she felt it like a frog in her throat was trying to come up and choke her but she had to get over it. It was already done, it wouldn’t have changed anything, now she just knew.
Now that she knew the truth, however, all it did was confirm what Histor had told her, but the fact that six men were dead the night they got her, wasn’t in the story Histor told her.
She couldn’t prove Frida didn’t do it, but they can’t prove she did. Nothing Histor said about her would give the impression that she would kill six men, but you don’t know somebody till you do. Maybe Histor was biased. What if she died because she didn’t do anything about it? Would it just go away? Symptoms don’t usually just go away without getting rid of something.
“Dean, Sam?” Jamie broke the silence after the first sixty miles.
“Yeah?” They responded in unison.
“You guys would never leave me, right? No matter what?” Jamie asked. Her thoughts were racing with hypotheticals and possible bad endings for her story. “You wouldn’t let me die right? You’d move heaven and earth for me?”
“Of course, you are our sister, what makes you ask that?” Sam scoffed. He tossed a confused look at his brother.
“No reason, I just…you guys are all I have and if finding my Mom means losing you then I won’t do it…”
“Is that you’ve been thinking about for the past hour?” Sam asked, turning to look at his sister. She had turned on her side and was using Sam’s jacket as a blanket. He couldn’t see much of her face due to the lack of light but she looked half asleep.
“Jamie, even if you did find your Mom, we would never, ever leave you to die. We are family.” Dean said, Sam nodded in agreement, looking back at his baby sister.
“Jamie…what’s wrong? You’ve been off since the hospital.” Sam asked.
“I’m just tired. I guess I’m still getting better.” Jamie muttered. 
Sam and Dean shared a look. Sam shrugged but Dean was starting to get worried. He kept quiet though, if anything they could talk when they were sure Jamie was asleep, but he knew something was going on with his little sister.
Jamie woke up to the loudest volume setting on the Impala, blaring Back in Black. She shot up and looked around. Her brother Dean couldn’t stop laughing as she looked around in a panic.
“What the fuck guys!?” She groaned. Sam leaned into the car and turned the music down, still chuckling. “I’m so getting you back for that.” She muttered. Jamie tossed Sam’s jacket by the cooler. She was rubbing her eyes and yawning. They were parked somewhere with a nice view.
“Hurry up, we have to take you to a motel before we check out the crime scene,” Dean said, tossing the tube of toothpaste onto her lap. Jamie sighed and drank some water to clear the dryness in her mouth. She grabbed her bag and dug through it, searching for the plastic baggie she kept. 
Sam opened her door and handed her his cup. The one plastic cup they kept for rinsing.
“I almost forgot how shitty life on the road was.” She muttered as she put toothpaste on her brush and looked around. “Where even are we, how long did I sleep?” She asked. “Can’t I just stay in the car? Ya know, get away style?”
“We are about three miles out from the coordinates. You slept the whole time.” Sam answered.
“Right,” Jamie said. Still groggy and leaning on the Impala. Sam scoffed and got into the passenger seat. He looked at his brother who shrugged, switching out the cassette tapes.
Jamie slumped against the Impala as she brushed her teeth. She tiredly stared into the distance as she brushed. She wasn’t focused on anything in particular, just the dirt road she assumed they came from. 
“Can I camp instead?” Jamie asked as she brushed. 
“No, if there is a case out here the woods is the last place you want to be. There was a body found out here.” Sam answered. “Unless of course, you want to be eaten.” He shrugged. 
“Haha, very funny,” Jamie said. 
She was tired, which was weird because she slept for longer than usual, no weird nightmares making her wake up in a pool of her sweat, and no itchiness inside her ear. It was weird to wake up feeling normal. 
“Besides, Sam and I were talking. Since you decided to lie, you get to stay in a motel.” Dean said, popping out on the other side of the car. Jamie turned around to face her brother. She wanted to scowel but she could barely keep her eyes open. She finished brushing and spit, making sure to turn away from the car. She rinsed and spit again. 
“I don’t care, so long as I can sleep and order pizza.” She muttered. She took a look around and found a decently sized tree. “I’m gonna take a wizz.” Jamie turned and walked away, her hands in her pockets.
“That went smoother than I thought it would,” Dean said, shrugging at his brother. Sam watched while Jamie disappeared into the tree line.
“Do we have to make her sit this one out?” Sam asked.
“Yes! How will she learn if she doesn’t have consequences?” Dean asked. 
“Well yeah, she is tired anyway. She slept the whole time.” Sam said. “What are we going to do if she does manage to find her mom?” 
“Easy, we won’t let it happen,” Dean said. 
“Dean, she is already looking on her own, who knows how much she knows,” Sam said. He didn’t want to throw his sister under the bus but there was no ignoring the obvious. “She is going to be 18 soon. We won’t be able to stop her then. I’m honestly surprised she isn’t putting up more of a fight about it.”
“Yeah, it’s suspicious but we got bigger problems right now.” He muttered, getting into the car. Sam followed.
“Ever since the hospital, she’s been weird,” Sam said. “I can’t put my finger on it, but she has been weird. Tell me I’m not the only one.”
“I know,” Dean muttered before sitting down in Baby.
Jamie returned shortly after, hands in her pockets and hair tied back. It always looked like some kind of puffy cloud when she put it up.
“Let’s go. I want a motel with wifi.” She told Sam not to bother to look at him before getting in the car. “When are we going to Bobby’s to fix the car?” She asked Dean. 
“After this. I can’t bear to see my baby hurtin’.” He said, running his hands on the steering wheel.
“Kay.” That was all she replied with. Sam got in the car and they were off. While they drove they reviewed the newspaper article Dean had found but it wasn’t long till the car came to a slow stop.
Jamie had her backpack, her duffle, and her laptop bag. She stared up at her weirdly tall brothers, normally she would be extremely irritated that she was being left out. She would be fighting to go and help them.
“You guys are gonna wish I was there. You won’t have cell service.”
“We will be fine.” Sam chuckled.
“No leaving, no panhandling, don’t open the door for anyone, and no research,” Dean said with a shrewd face.
“Sure thing, Mom.” Jamie rolled her eyes and turned away. Heading towards the checkout room. She didn’t bother looking back. 
Sam gave Dean a concerned look. 
“We can talk on the road,” he muttered, getting back in the car and driving away.
Jamie let her shoulders drop when she stepped into the lobby of the motel. Why it had to be so far out of town, she had no idea. It felt planned. Like they didn’t want her to have anything to do. She sighed and examined the room. It was very brown but everything looked relatively new.
“Welcome, how can I help you, little lady.” 
“Hey, I need a room for the night. Two beds please.” She said she made sure to grab her fake ID. The photo was of her, but the name and information were just short of the truth. Easy to remember. Dean had made it the one time it was just the two on a case and they needed to see the body. 
The clerk took her ID and examined it carefully. 
“You don’t look 23, you look younger.” He said with a raised brow. He was bending the ID and scratching at it. 
Jamie rolled her eyes. “Thanks for the compliment. Can I get my key now? My brothers will be here sometime in the night as well. Let them up. One will be freakishly tall and the other one will look a douchebag.” She said, handing him a hundred bill. “and I need the wifi password.” She added. the clerk counted the money and shrugged. Lying about your age was the easiest thing, it was as easy as just having confidence.
“Password is, Hitchcross. Capital H.” He said handing her a key to room 12. She nodded and thanked the man before heading towards the room.
It was cleaner than she expected for a motel damn near in the middle of nowhere. The beds had blue quits and a lot of pillows. There was a mini fridge and a distinct smell of pine and something floral.
“At least I get it to myself for a while.” She sighed. Jamie dropped her bags and went to inspect the bathroom and the towels. 
It was a simple bathroom with a tub and shower, nothing fancy but not dingy like she was worried about using it, so that was a plus.
It felt like when she was a kid and it was just her in the motel. For a while, it was her and Sammy, sometimes Dean. More often than not it’s just her now.
“Nothing a hot bath can’t fix.” She muttered to herself while she tested the water temperature. She couldn’t remember the last time she took a bath just to relax. The burns were mostly just scabs now, they couldn’t have been as bad as the hospital was telling her. She was just sore now. 
Jamie sighed as she lowered herself into the bath. Hardly ever did she get a full bath to herself, usually one of her brothers had to use the bathroom before she got to relax. 
It was all crazy to think about. Her Dad is missing, who killed her brother’s Mom, killed Sam’s girlfriend, and tried to attack her. She is some kind of witness, her powers might kill her, and she is fighting monsters rather than working at the grocery store. 
That one wasn’t really out of the norm though. 
“So many questions. I wish I had someone to talk about it with. Would God answer my prayers? Is that how it would work?”
Jamie stared at the bubbles that floated in her lap. The steam that rose from the water and how the smell of her soap. How all of it felt so visceral, how it didn’t feel any different than any other day in her life. Her sad, dirty little life. 
Almost everything was silent. The only sound being made was the sound of the bubbles. Popping away as they reached their limit. 
“Crazy, how a mind could compare something as short-lived as a bubble, to that of a human life, to an impact of change,” Jamie muttered to herself. She felt in a daze, like when the buzz starts to wear off on the walk home and everything starts coming back to you, all your inhibitions coming back to the forefront of the mind.
“Should I follow this path? What else would I do? Become a therapist? That sounds too depressing.”
“You will never be able to stray from your destiny. Jamie.”
“I don’t believe in destin-” Jamie looked up, panicked. It was her, in the tub…with her. She looked around again, she wasn’t in the motel anymore.
“What the fuck?” She asked, putting her arms up to get out of the tub.
“I wouldn’t try that. It’s easy to get lost in there.” Other Jamie said.
“Where am I? Who are you?” Jamie asked. She checked her senses again. She was definitely in the water still, she could still smell the soap.
“In your mind. You wanted someone to talk to. Here we are.” The Other Jamie lifted her hands as if to showcase the expanse of emptiness that currently surrounded them. 
“Okay, I must have fallen asleep. I need to wake up,” Jamie said, splashing her face with the water and slapping her cheeks as if it were a lucid dream.
“This isn’t a lucid dream Jamie. You are here, in your mind. Well, a version of it. You are still in the real world, I can assure you. If you get out of this tub here, your body will do the same thing but you wanted to talk, so let’s talk.” 
The Other Jamie smiled. 
“So are you my subconscious or something?” Jamie asked. 
“You could say that. I already know everything you are thinking, I look just like you. You can call me whatever you want.” Other Jamie shrugged.
“Okay, well what am I supposed to talk about now if you-I already know everything I’m thinking,” Jamie asked.
“Well, you don’t know everything you are thinking.” 
“How so?” 
“Awareness is the greatest part of free will. We have a gift for it. The more aware of the seal and our abilities you become, the more they will present themselves. Whether we can control it or not. Self-”
“Self-actualization is the gateway drug,” Jamie said. She was finishing her sentence. Other Jamie nodded with a smile.
“Your question was what to do next. right? Where to go from here after talking to Histor? How to tell Sam and Dean the truth?”
“I guess. I mean, how would I even tell them? Dad is missing, Sam's girlfriend just died. That should be my biggest priority, but I don’t feel like it is.”
“Ah, the heart…the soul. At the end of the day, we have to do what is best for us. Sam and Dean will always have a life outside of us. We should tell them because they are family, but do we have to? Do we want to?” Other Jamie asked. 
“Well, I do. I want my brothers by my side. They are all I’ve ever known. Finding Frida only means finding answers and there will probably be more questions. They said I would still be their sister even if I found her.”
“That was one thing about Dad and the boys we never understood. Believing that the next step was the answer. Look how that turned out and they will. You could kill a man and they would help you hide the body, but what if it ends up just like Dad and Sam?” Other Jamie snickered.
“Right, Dean isn’t Dad though. These are all irrational thoughts. I suppose the only real question I have is where to go next?”
“You already know where to go next.” 
“The Box.”
Jamie was back in the motel. Still in the bathtub. Any normal person would have questions as to what the fuck just happened. Jamie already knew it had something to do with her powers.
She looked around and stood up. Grabbing a towel and wrapping it around herself. She headed towards her bag. She had dropped them onto the beds before she ran the bath. 
She tore into the bag, grabbing the box Histor had given her. She set it in front of her. Weighing her options. There is a chance something else could happen if the same rules apply and she is sent somewhere by the book, she will be naked. 
Jamie got up and grabbed her clothes bag, taking out some jeans, underclothes, and one of Dean’s old hand-me-down band-tees she kept.
“I guess I shouldn’t feel weird about talking to myself now,” Jamie muttered to herself, she looked around just in case she manifested another hallucination. “Whatever that was had to be a side effect.” 
Jamie gulped and sat back down in front of the box. She wondered what would happen. Maybe it would kill her. 
Slowly, Jamie undid the latches on the box and opened it. There was no bright light or horrid smell like she expected. It was a book—a spiral-bound book with a bright green leather cover. 
“That was anti-climactic.” She said to herself. She grabbed the book and opened it. It was some kind of journal, not a published book, it would have been typed if it was. There was no title or author. Jamie flipped through the pages, barely able to tell what the words were supposed to be. It looks written in multiple languages. 
“What the heck?” She said to herself. “All that and it’s just a boo-”
Early Morning
“What do you think Jamie has been doing?” Sam asked as they drove back.
“No clue, she better not have checked herself out though,” Dean said, taking a drink from his beer. Sam wanted to say more but he didn’t even know where to start.
“I’m worried about her, Dean. She isn’t acting like herself, ever since the fire.”
“Well, something like that changes you, but I see where you are coming from.” 
“It’s not just that. It’s something else.” Sam said, taking a drink of his beer.
“She is a teenage girl, Sam. Something is off about all of them.”
“When has Jamie ever been a normal teenage girl? Person in general who also happens to be a girl?” 
“Why don’t you ask her? You two were buddy-buddy all last year.” Dean said as he put the car in park.
Sam remained silent but got out of the car with his brother. They grabbed their stuff and headed into the Lobby.
“Hi, we’re looking for our sister. Debbie Derst.” 
“She was right, you are freakishly tall.” The clerk was staring at Sam with a mix of disgust and amazement. Dean laughed and took the key. Sam glared and gave a nod to the clerk.
“Thanks,” Sam muttered as he followed his brother.
“hang on.” The clerk spoke up. The brothers took a few steps back and listened. The clerk looked around and leaned over to peek down the hall before making eye contact with the brothers again. “ I don’t want to speak ill of your sister but some loud noises were coming from up there a couple of hours ago. I went to check on her but I couldn’t open the door, even my master key didn’t work.”
The clerk said, getting up from his seat and following the men. They stopped and turned. 
“What do you mean, loud noises?” Sam asked. He searched the man for a name tag but didn’t see one.
“Oh, call me Earl.”
“You’ve been here all night, Earl?” Dean asked, looking down the hallway. Room twelve was in the creepiest spot—the very end of the hallway.
“Yes, I have. Around six or so, the lights started flickering and then there was all the noise. It’s been silent ever since.” 
“Did you call the police?” Sam asked, glancing at his brother.
“Do I look like a snitch to you mister?” Earl asked. He put a hand on his hip and gave Sam an ‘are-you as stupid-as-you-are-tall? look. 
Sam and Dean gave each other a concerned look. 
“uhm, our sister sleepwalks. She probably just knocked something over,” Dean said, giving a curt nod and a smile. “Sam, let’s go,” He whispered. 
Sam and Dean approached the door apprehensively. Dean watched as the fluorescent light slightly dimmed. 
“Will this key work?” Sam asked as he watched his brother. 
“It better work or I’m dropping lead,” Dean said as he pushed the key in. He tried to turn it but it wouldn’t budge. Dean turned and looked the other way down the hall. Earl was back at his desk.
“Why would Jamie lock herself inside?” Sam asked. 
“I don’t think she did,” Dean muttered as he crouched to be eye level with the lock. He grabbed his lock-picking kit and got to work. 
The door flung open.
“What the fuck?” Jamie said. She was only halfway showing her face. When she saw her brothers she sighed in relief. “Oh, it’s just you two. I could have killed you ya know?” She said, opening the door fully. She had one of their guns in her hand.
Dean stood up and nodded. “Why wasn’t the key working?” he asked. 
“What do you mean? Mine works.” She said as the boys entered the room.
“Jamie, Earl said he heard loud noises coming from here, the lights started flickering and the key didn’t work,” Sam said as he dropped his bag down.
“Well, Earl is an idiot because it’s been quiet as a mouse here. I’ve been asleep, woke up like an hour ago.” She answered, going back to her spot on the farthest bed. “How was the hunt? You guys look like shit.” She said.
“It was a wendigo,” Dean answered. Taking a seat on the edge of the bed with a beer.
“Ouch. Those things aren’t usually out this far.” She replied calmly.
“Tell me about it,” Sam said. He grabbed the remote and clicked through the channels.
The siblings fell into silence. Jamie could feel the pit in her stomach grow. She stared at the back of her brother’s head.
Twelve hours ago, when she interacted with people she could just barely sense what they were feeling unless it was a prominent emotion when they were strong, like fear or happiness. Now she felt like she could sense everything.
“You guys hungry?” Jamie asked, standing up. 
“We ate on the road. You?” Dean said, looking back at her. 
“Uh, no. I ate some sleep and then had some sleep for dessert.” She joked.
“We’ll get something on the way out of town,” Dean said, leaning back and looking up at the ceiling.
Jamie nodded and looked down at the floor where she had stashed the box, it was just barely peaking out from under the bed.
The truth is she didn’t know what she was doing for the last hour. She woke up to the sound of the lock being picked and jumped up. She had no memory of the last twelve hours she had been in the room.

THANK YOU finally someone here has a good take regarding the "haha barok and kazuma violently hate each other" thing?? ppl insisting that their dynamic post-game is always gonna keep being the exact same as when they're at their most extreme emotional states just... baffles me, especially since they're literally shown to be civil to each other right afterwards. it's Right There! idk why so many ppl ignore this! in general their circumstances are so unique that it's a huge disservice to boil them down just to being haters.. like yeah they're gonna be huge mess after everything, but not in the way that fandom usually potrays them. if kazuma fully hated the guy i don't think he'd insist on keeping the apprenticeship the way he did in game. sorry if any of this makes no sense, i have too much bottled up rage regarding fandom nonsense. nuance and character growth are nonexistent to people here
also scrolled through your other posts a tiny bit and i feel you, it truly is hard to be in this fandom and not be an as//ry liker, especially if you're a kazuma enjoyer. difficulty level: impossible. you're not alone tho! :')
sorry for leaving this in your inbox, hope you have a nice day/night!!
ANON….THANK U…..i feel like a big problem with the dgs fandom in particular is that they dont really consider how 2-5 affects character dynamics post-canon? because all the change is right there. ive talked about this but its like portraying kazuma’s relationship with ryuunosuke as Exactly The Same post-canon when it would be DRASTICALLY different despite them still loving each other very much, because ryuunosuke now sees all of kazuma. he was only seeing a very small part of who he was before, and his entire perception of his best friend got dismantled and replaced by a completely different one in a really short period of time.
the exact same is true for kazuma and barok: they have despised each other so deeply and irrevocably for a DECADE and now suddenly they have to accept the fact that nobody really did anything wrong. kazuma tried to send barok to his death, but he was doing it out of grief and rage built up over ten years. barok convicted genshin and that led to him dying, but he was young and naïve and grieving and being manipulated by stronghart the entire time. genshin killed klint but he did so honorably. klint was a murderer but all he wanted was to make his home a better place for the people in it. its all so complicated and nobody is completely innocent or completely at fault. everyone did something wrong for good reasons and everyone did something good for the wrong reasons. it’s too nuanced of a situation for them to truly go on hating each other the way they used to, because they’re both MATURE ADULTS who can understand the intricacies of the situation.
do i think they dunk on each other post-canon? i mean. yes. obviously. do i think they HATE each other, still, to this inane degree? no. obviously. their relationship is going to be strained. there’s literally no way that it wouldn’t be. but they respect each other, they hold each other in high regard, and they’re respectful. and it sucks because these changes in dynamics are literally SHOWN at the end of 2-5 but people just like. cant. comprehend them. like i just don’t get it. also if kazuma is going to hate anyone in the cast its going to be herlock like he fucking SHIPPED HIS AMNESIAC CORPSE TO CHINA and never apologized for it i would NOT be letting that go anytime soon

love your work and everything you do, so excited for the month of march fics coming up !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ a fic a day is incredible and idk how you do it honestly 🙏🙏🙏 does this mean that hold is on hiatus for now ?
Oh thank you!!!
It was so fun doing @steddielovemonth so I'm excited to tackle Stobin Month! I don't write enough fics about them and them alone so it's been fun so far.
Hold is on a temporary hiatus. I'm aiming to get the next chapter out in April. Right now, I have so much going on, but I start a new job next week so my writing time is cutting down drastically. So I'm not able to tap into the headspace I need to write hold.
I added an update to the authors note for the last chapter, but to reiterate here: I AM NOT giving up on this story!! It's a passion project for me, but since it doesn't have a timeline or any outside pressure other than wanting to get the next chapter to you all, it has to be the first to go. I need to focus on my posting challenge, my STRBB fics, and my exchange fic (and I have a few big bangs I plan on signing up for!!) so I'll be shifting gears a little.
If I wasn't at such a pivotal moment in hold, I think I'd be able to continue writing as normal. But I have an Eddie scene and an Eleven scene to write for the next chapter that are heavier, so I need to do them the right way and not just knock it out.
Thank you all for the support and understanding!!! I'm having so much fun and feeling really fulfilled with my current writing load, so the patience about the hold situation is very appreciated!! That being said... Here's a teaser (under the cut) for the next chapter to hold everyone over (no pun intended) until I can post it:
“Hey, hey,” Steve coos, coming to a halt at the edge of her crib. He picks her up without hesitation, sending a sharp pain up his left arm as he cuddles her close. It doesn’t matter, he could care less about his pain as long as she’s okay. “You’re okay,” he says, “Daddy’s got you.” 
“Steve!” Robin huffs as she comes up beside them. “You shouldn’t be picking her up.” Whatever look he gives her must tell her everything she needs to know. She sighs and runs a hand over Charlotte’s wild dark hair. “I can hand her to you so you don’t hurt your hand,” she says softly, “let me help.” 
He presses his lips to Charlotte’s head and sways in place, shushing her. Charlotte, not Robin of course. “I know,” he tells Robin then goes back to talking to Charlotte. “We woke you up before you were ready, huh? I’m sorry, sweetpea.” He adjusts his hold on her to check her diaper, nose wrinkling. “Sure you want to help?” he asks Robin. 
“I think I can handle a dirty diaper.” 
Charlotte’s cries have stopped, but there are big tears on her cheeks and her bottom lip is pouted out as she looks up at Steve. He’d do anything for that face. 
Steve has to look away, eyes going to the bare, white ceiling as the fury comes back to him all at once. He blinks his own tears out of his eyes, all of the emotions hitting him like a goddamn train. “She left her,” Steve breathes out. “She fucking left her, Rob.” 
“She was so blasé about it too,” Robin punches out, walking away. She’s opening the drawers to grab something, closing them with force but not slamming. 
“What’s that mean?” he asks, dropping another kiss to Charlotte’s head. He drifts over to the chair they stashed in here during the move, an extra from the set his mom gave him, and sits so Charlotte’s laying against his chest. The movement emphasizes the pain and settles his heart all at once, but Charlotte’s sniffles and little noises make it worth it. 
Robin takes a moment, putting together the outfit for Charlotte. “Does she not have any dresses?” 
Steve’s brow furrows as he thinks about it. “I think she’s grown out of a few. I don’t know.” 
“I’m all for giving the bird to gender stereotypes and letting her wear boy clothes,” Robin says as she holds up the basketball onesie that doesn’t fit Charlotte anymore but Steve can’t part with, “but I don’t see any onesies with snaps that fit her and pants are going to be a nightmare for the foreseeable future.” 
Shit. 
Steve groans and adjusts Charlotte so her cast is more comfortable against him. “I didn’t even think about that.” 
“When would you have had the time?” Robin asks, closing the drawer. She’s out of the room before Steve can answer her.

Hua Laoshi II 《I》
Hua Laoshi often brings in baked goods his husband made. He stands by the doorway and as students are entering, handing sweets out individually while smiling:  “good luck on this exam, kids” 😌😌
HC definitely flames his students every five minutes - in good nature, of course - and continues his lectures like nothing happened. His deadpan is so good that newer students find themselves chuckling out of nervousness more than anything. 
HC’s students catch him chewing on his pens and pencils, leaving wacky indents on the ends. 
One student: “Hua laoshi, how does your husband stand a house with spit-covered pens?”
Everyone laughs.
HC doesn’t react, instead drawling out: “Careful, I’m still the one grading your final exams.”
Everyone immediately snaps their mouths shut, eyes wide with regret. 
HC then smirks as he uses his teeth to put the cap back on the pen. 
A seasoned trickster, that one. 
(On a different occasion, during an in-class writing assignment, the distinct sound of teeth gnawing against plastic clicks in the quiet classroom. Another student tries their hand at poking fun at Hua laoshi’s interesting habit.
Student: “sounds like you don’t have enough to eat at home” 
HC, without missing a beat: “and sounds like you don’t want an A for this course”
Everyone else in their heads: “damn, he’s good”)
But once you get familiar with Hua Laoshi’s character, the playful sarcasm is easier to detect.
The best is when HC makes a roast that’s so ridiculous, his deadpan slips, and the corners of his lips begin to twitch. Which usually only happens when he’s clowning He Laoshi…the professor Hua Laoshi is supposedly closest with? Ha.
***
HC smiling down on his phone minutes before class.
Student: “Hua laoshi, you shouldn’t be using your phone during class~~”
HC, who was definitely texting XL: “I- ZIP IT.”
***
But seriously, the contrast between how students perceived HC at the beginning of the year compared to the end is drastic. From fearing for their academic life to legit crying at the fact that the class is over and they won’t have Hua Laoshi next time. 
HC asking for course evaluations like: “but yeahhh, if there’s not a big turnout and the reviews aren’t that good, I might leave and find another job idk” :/
Students: “WHAT UNACCEPTABLE”
Of course, HC receives very high ratings. Many students request his letters of recommendation too, which are personal and beautifully written. 
In turn, HC actually receives many thank you letters at the end of his courses. Thanking him for accommodating special circumstances, for encouraging the balance of school and mental health, and for teaching such an excellent class.
A couple of them are even harmless crush confessions always signed with “ok but i also love laoshi’s husband so i get it” 
XL always cracks up when HC shows him those letters. 
XL, tapping HC’s chin: “that’s why I put a ring on you”
HC’s eye dilates, and he visibly swallows.
HC: “Gege should list all the things he loves about me too.”
XL: “like my vows?” (The vows that definitely made HC cry.)
HC places his elbows on the counter and innocently rests his chin on his clasped hands. The answer is clearly “yes please, my dear husband.”
XL: “San Lang is fishing for compliments, I see. But that’s okay-“ He places his hands on HC’s cheeks. “I always have compliments for my husband.”
HC: ;) 
***
HC waking up at 7:00 AM for his 8:30 AM class…
Just imagine HC groaning and burying his face into his pillow, shirtless and flat on his stomach-
And XL comes around to pat his bum: “Up, San Lang, up”
HC: “ugh don’t wanna go, fuck them kids”
XL, patting HC’s arm: “you love those kids and you know it. Come on, I made you breakfast and coffee.”
***
XL traveling out of the country for work and HC being like “missing gege everyday :((( “
No husband to tell HC to come to bed after staying up until ungodly hours to grade.
XL over the phone: “what else are you doing besides work?”
HC: “…waiting for you to come back home”
XL: “oh, baby…” 🥺)
HC’s students can tell he’s not his usual self. Not like sad, but a little bored? Like, dimmed of his usual mischievous light. And more…tired.
HC has his bad days too, but then it’s worse if his best friend/partner isn’t there.
Then a week later, HC sends an email with the subject line being: “no class, losers!” and the email basically saying, “gotta pick my husband up from the airport” 😈
***
Anniversary day !! 
Aka, Hualian ice skating.
But HC’s long ass legs have the balance equivalent of a newborn baby deer. It’s even the sixth or seventh time XL has taken him on an ice-skating date and HC’s sense of balance is still somehow absolute shit.
It’s just that HC can’t for the life of him make it three steps before doing the obnoxious falling act of the century all over again. And HC will be damned if he keeps falling flat on his ass, holding XL up for the nth time.
So cue Hualian skating with XL’s hand around HC’s waist :) HC muttering curses under his breath every time his left foot decides to be goofy for a hot sec, but luckily, XL helps keep him on his feet. ❤️
(HC: “Gege I’m gonna romance you so fucking hard you won’t know what hit you” 
XL: 🤣🤣 “I look forward to it”
And then HC ends up falling flat on his back.
HC: “fuck I think I pulled something”
XL: “baby, we didn’t even make it to the bedroom “ 😭)
***
Reminder that HC has his and XL’s wedding photos on his desk!!
***
Think about HC coming back home from work in his formal attire and XL pouncing on him as soon as he enters. The sound of XL unbuttoning HC’s shirt, placing kisses along HC’s neck, down his chest, and then getting down to unbuckle HC’s belt-
All while HC is a bit disoriented but thoroughly enjoying the welcome home 🫶🏼
Thirty minutes later…
HC: “something smells like it’s burning”
XL, sprinting to the kitchen: “MY SOUP!”
That soup is not only burnt, but it’s also solid by now…
XL: “eagerness gets you nowhere” 😭😭
HC: “idk about you, but I felt like I had enough soup already”
XL, pointing to the pot on the stove: “SAN LANG THAT WAS OUR DINNER” 😡😡
HC: [pikachu meme] “you’re the one who jumped me”
XL: [puffed out cheeks] “I can’t help it, you looked so good…”
HC: “ok how about you go shower and I’ll cook us something new :) “
XL: “nooo” :((( “I was supposed to make dinner tonight and then I RUINED it 😭”
HC: …
HC: “what if we…order takeout?”
XL: :0
XL: :)
XL: “fantastic idea, dear husband of mine” 😇
***
Throughout their years together, HC and XL have managed to create such a safe space that differs from what everyone thinks is normal in a relationship. Thus, HC would give the best dating advice. 
It would be in the secrecy of his office hours and if a student was really curious about what they should do in their own relationship/situation, they can consult in HC and boom, great advice from a happily married man.
“Even if I think it’s something small, I’ve learned to bring it up to Xie Lian. Cause he’s the type of person who would rather you tell him what’s bothering you instead of figuring it out some other way.”
“And we’re a team, so we work to figure out a solution together.”
“He’s my best friend, my partner, my husband - whatever, you name it. My biggest supporter. It takes effort on both ends to ensure we’re there for each other in the way that we need, to keep our relationship functioning and thriving.”
HC after rambling for 10 minutes: “Oop I’ve said too much”
Student: “nope, that was perfect” *has been blessed by Hua laoshi’s words of wisdom*
Also the student:
*sneakily wipes a tear cause how can two people love each other that much*
“write that down write that down”
“how could Hua laoshi think he deserves anything less 😭😭 Hua laoshi deserves everything ofc”
Student: “adopt me pls”
HC: “no u already got a momma and baba”
Student: “I have a mama who's a saint and daddy issues to last a lifetime”
HC: “well shit, you’re just like me fr”
***
HC updating XL because he’s a little late getting home and also just thinks it’s nice to share. But while HC is casually talking about what he said to his student, XL is staring at him with the most tender expression ever.
It takes a while for HC to notice, he pauses and asks, “is something wrong?”
XL simply shakes his head, eyes crinkling. “You’re just…amazing. You’re really making a difference in their lives, you know?”
HC shifts his gaze away nervously, but his ears noticeably redden. XL wants to kiss him silly.
Words aren't enough to describe how much XL loves his husband. 🥺
“It’s not a huge deal-”
A hand covers HC’s mouth, gently cutting him off. 
“Believe me. The world is a better place with you in it, San Lang.”
HC merely grunts in response. XL huffs out a laugh, reaching his other hand up to fondle with HC’s left ear. The two lean forward on instinct, resting their foreheads together.
“You are so precious, so precious to me,” XL breathes out.
HC’s expression softens in a way it only does in front of XL, and XL silently thanks whatever higher power there is that brought him the most wonderful human to love.

The double standards for Anne and Mary compared to Jane and Mary always baffles me. So when Anne prioritizes her own child and safety she's a bitch, but when Jane does the exact same thing (when her child doesn't even exist yet) it's not only ok, it's ignored. Because thinking about it breaks the saccharine love show people are weirdly invested in. Anne fighting for Elizabeth's rights is treated like it doesn't matter, or played down completely to pretend she only wanted Mary recognizing her marriage because she's......evil? Idk. And she got a kick out of it? But Mary needing to do it for Jane is....ok? Right? Fair? It makes no sense when Mary fights against recognizing Anne she's so brave and her stans are outraged she ever be expected to "lower herself" but when she gives in later it's no big deal Henry and Jane demanding it? And whatever Mary went through during Anne's time was the sickest cruelty and all what Anne planned, but with Jane, it never happened, or it's suddenly all Henry and Jane.....was too nice to stand up to him? It's like Mary accepting she's illegitimate is horrific when it's for Anne but some boring i-am-not-a-robot check box task she's we've gotta get out the way when it's for Jane. Like if Mary had gone on resisting do they think Jane would've been cool with it?
Well, we don't really know if "Jane demanded it", actually given the contemporary evidence that seems unlikely (although tbf it's murky...in May 1536 Chapuys claims she's actually argued for Mary's total restoration, but in June 1536 there's another report from another source that she 'begged [the King] on her knees five times' to not arrest Mary--not 'restore her'-- which is often conflated with the former to do the same, by July 1536 Chapuys claims all she’s done is beg Henry not to arrest Mary, not restore her). Tl; dr if her opinion on this was drastically different from HVIII's at the outset, she seems to have conformed to his rather quickly, was more the point I was trying to make there.
but some boring i-am-not-a-robot check box task
Tumblr media
*Forgot to address this one:
Like if Mary had gone on resisting do they think Jane would've been cool with it?
Yeah, that’s also sort of the thing, although apparently she did want Mary to resist anything but perhaps apology and HVIII to concede and reinstate her as heir. Whether she’d come to regret that, had it succeeded, when Jane had a son or daughter remains another question…
But yeah, anyways, I don’t think Jane would’ve been warm towards her had Mary refused to acknowledge her as Queen (which, if we take Mary’s Title Act seriously, was what she actually believed … although if you subscribe to Loades’ theories, it wasn’t what she believed then, but what she came to believe, and her conformity of the summer of 1536 was genuine ‘conversion’), called her ‘Lady Jane’ and the ‘King’s mistress’ as she had AB. Nothing is impossible but I don’t find that… probable.
Edit:
Just kidding, Chapuys’ report and the Bishop of Faenza’s were muddled in my memory, here we go:
This last wife is said to be much loved by the subjects, both because she is very gentle and good, and because she has five times thrown herself publicly at the King's feet, requesting him to send for his daughter and declare her Princess, a thing which has greatly moved the people.
Although, instructive that praise of Jane from this group (the above Bishop, Reginald Pole, even Chapuys to some extent) ebbs away once news travels that she hasn’t effected Princess Mary’s restoration, after all. The praise thus seems like it was rather conditional.

Continued thoughts on Midnight Romance in Hagwon
because the re blogging got tired and confusing.
i know we need a little bit of conflict and we’re seeing how #passionate but i hope things don’t snowball for that student who had that one question with two answers. teachers sometimes are so stuck in their ways that any question on their checking or paper setting and they’ll be after you like a blood hound! trust me!
people in my country are so used to the idea that if you send your paper for rechecking you better be prepared for WAR, because they might give you the 2 marks you need but they’ll look for 10 marks to deduct 👎 they take it as a personal offense when it’s just human to make a mistake….
like our female lead going to bat for her student is real but babes these are treacherous waters…
help that teacher just dead ass looked at her like this when she explained the comprehension answer 😑
lmao why is the teacher so offended 😭 to be fair tuition teachers and teachers are always beefing (despite many doing both the jobs)
lmao now the spectacled loser is just getting angry 💀👎 apparently setting a paper is serious business but a student trying to get a vital point in an exam is cheating.
gag him queen! idgaf
now he’s seething because she said the question is old. before this he was trying to taunt her by saying that she was bad at her job for not being able to predict this question. drama!!!
what a fucking loser… grabbing her by the shoulder over a question paper. move queen, I’ll handle this
Tumblr media
she’s still going when it genuinely looks like he’s going to hit her. honestly I want her to hit this mf with her bag.
her putting a pain relief patch :(
wi ja hoon looking good and not being a second lead, i won soooooo bad
Tumblr media
wait has he liked her since he was 13…. (edit! I think she taught him when he was 19-20, i won 🙏 i had gotten confused by some 8th grade stuff that they were talking about)
knew as soon as she mumbled that he was going to show up 😂
she’s got his name saved as her pride and she glows like the sun, love her soooo bad
Tumblr media
third wi ja hoon drama (for me) where he’s in love with someone older, love that. although the teacher and ex student thing is a new territory for me, idk how i feel about it just yet.
i hope the teacher who tried to practically hit seo hye jin (our female lead) doesn’t do anything drastic….
also went on MDL to check her name and why are people saying this show is hot garbage omg don’t do this to me. to be fair me and that site rarely agree so we move 🙏
her showing up to those restaurants where they can get closed door rooms is crazy after what he pulled 😭 only public places with people who lay hands on you !!! and with company
why does this apology feel like it’s coming with a MAJOR but
knew it lmao. the drums in the bgm are deeply unserious.
allll of this over a question. I know as a teacher, a private tutor showing up to your school telling you that you made a mistake can be annoying. you see this in South Asia as well, the teacher is right, students value the tuition classes more than the school but babes why are you talking about going to WAR 😭
he wants to go to war for teachers but this is just an ego battle. that apology was so fake.
cowboy shoot out music in the bgm and our lead just left. girl he’s weird af but i wish we sniffed something. we don’t know what he’s planning!
directors at these tuition places are greedy as hell. (my source?! crash course in romance 🤪)
lmao the conversation between the two characters taking the teacher test was actually so chill and respectful. I was waiting for the shoe to drop but it was amicable.
lmfaoooo not hye jin lurking around to see him complete the exam
the other language instructor shooting her shot, gotta take tips
mr. yoon for the tap on the wrong shoulder thing, aww
her with her big ass red umbrella is giving
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he looks so adorable like a wet puppy 😭
lmaooo just realised even jun ho’s dad is a staple in the ahn pan seok universe. a dad in all 3! (recently saw him on atypical family)
my sister trying her best to ensure he keeps a good job when he’s already left it
him saying his love life isn’t any of her business made me bust out laughing bc he’s going to be a menace in hers isn’t he 💀
one thing I love about this creator is that everyone in his shows looks so real. the actors are gorgeous yes, breathtaking. but the way they dress, the way their hair is done, it’s all so natural.
standing under an umbrella under as rain pours down, faces like 3 inches away from each other, he’s asking her to address him as an instructor with the biggest smirk 😂😂😂
that was an abrupt finish lmao give me more
a subway sponsorship, can’t wait for them to eat a dry ass sandwich soon 😭
well this was fun ❤️ let’s do another

Adult Kim Possible Movie Idea
Tumblr media
(if i had the time or energy to make this into a fanfic (or better yet, a Disney approved made for tv movie), i would but sadly I don’t so take this detailed explanation instead)
The opening:
Kim is on a solo mission to defeat the generic baddie. She’s older, probably looks something like this, and much more confident and comfortable in her own abilities than she was as a teen.
Maybe the generic baddie is a little lame, probably just starting out in the evil business and doesn’t really know what to do. And there’s room for humor here where the villain is so bad at their job, even they’re embarrassed and Kim tries to comfort them. (See this scene of Spike and Willow from Buff as an example.)
Anyway, as she’s sitting there comforting the baddie, she gets a call on her kimmunicator (?? that’s what it’s called right). It’s Wade, dressed in a nice suit, wondering where she is, and that Ron can only stall for so long. She looks at the time; she’s late.
So, after one quick final showdown with the lame villain, she hurries on to where she needs to be.
She arrives, then changes from her spy clothes to a formal dress quickly to blend in easily with the unsuspecting crowd
She finds Ron. They kiss. And she explains why she’s late.
“Hope the new guy wasn’t too much trouble for you,” says Ron in a slightly worrisome tone.
“It was no big,” says Kim. “Really.”
Tumblr media
He doesn’t go on missions with her anymore, as his new job or something (idk what???) keeps him pretty busy. She does it solo now, which he low key hates and wishes he could still be there to make sure she’s safe.
Their conversation is cut short by Kim’s dad, who begins a speech about how happy he is to have Ronald, officially, join the family.
Kim and Ron are about to be married and this is their engagement party.
Okay, so the beginning revolves around Kim doing solo missions and Ron freaking out about it, wanting her to be safe—which eventually pressures Kim into joining Global Justice. (They’ve been nagging for her to join the team anyway.)
She struggles to adapt to global justice’s rules. In fact, she doesn’t really agree with most of the things they have her do. But she can’t put her finger on why yet.
She’s just happy Ron is less stressed about her going on missions now.
The conflict comes when she encounters the new villain again, this time with global justice at her side.
She probably tells the team to go easy on the villain, and global justice just goes guns blazing on the guy (like, the villain is level 1 baddie at worst and global justice treats him like he’s a terrorist basically).
And maybe (since this is Adult Kim Possible, not Teenage Kim Possible) the villain is killed.
Kim is horrified. The villain is surrendering, but global justice is showing no mercy.
To put it simply, she discovers quickly that global justice is super corrupt.
She goes to a bar or somewhere to think.
She wants to quit, and almost does—but an encounter with a familiar face convinces her she should stay: Shego
Kim learns that team go worked under global justice, and that’s basically what corrupted her.
Tumblr media
She tells Kim that good doesn’t really exist in the world—just “lawful” bad and “villain” bad. She chose to become a villain because she wanted control back in her life. If she was just gonna be bad anyway, she at least wanted to have fun doing it.
Kim, after talking with Shego, decides to investigate further before doing anything drastic and lets Ron, and Wade, know what’s going on in the meantime.
Kim’s sent on another mission with global justice. Here they meet a more dangerous and more competent villain who is trying to take over the world.
This villain proves to be a real threat, a much greater threat than the other guy. Maybe even some of Kim’s team get killed in action (characters who she’s bonded with are killed and it’s a huge wake up call for her).
They don’t win the fight. And eventually they’re given orders to retreat. But Kim gets separated from her team and a big explosion knocks her out.
She’s seen lying unconscious on the ground. The villain approaches her, but they’re blasted away with green plasma.
Kim gets dragged out of frame.
Commercial break.
She awakes, dizzy and light headed and turns to see Shego driving Drakken’s flying car away from all the chaos.
But she’s too hurt to say thank you, or even to stay conscious.
She awakes again in the hospital.
“KP! You’re awake,” Ron says, pulling her into an embrace. She shudders in pain. He lets go. “Sorry.”
Her parents and global justice are there too. But Shego, unsurprisingly, is nowhere in sight.
She explains what happened. And how Shego saved her.
She’s convinced they need Shego’s help to win the fight.
Global Justice dismisses her plan, and they leave to fight without her, ordering Kim not to interfere.
She’s bandaged up but still hurt. Global Justice is planning another corrupt attack or something. And they leave Kim to heal.
She convinces Ron that they need to find Shego to win the fight (for whatever reason. Maybe the villain is an old team go foe and Shego’s defeated him before, idk).
He reluctantly agrees, but only if he can go with her to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself.
They contact Wade and have him locate Shego.
And they venture out together on a mission, like old times. Even getting a ride from someone (maybe the person she gets a ride from is the first person she ever helped after the launch of her website).
Drakken and Shego consider themselves “retired” from the villainy business. I figure they got a hefty paycheck for saving the world in the finale, which was basically the government paying them to be quiet and stop being villains. Kim and Ron find them living “domesticated” lives somewhere seclusive.
Tumblr media
(Now whether drakken and shego are together together here would probably be left ambiguous to let the audience decide whether they are or aren’t a thing—but also it’s a little weird Shego would still be at his side if they weren’t together. So in my headcanon they are a couple here.)
Shego does not want to help. She refuses to work with global justice again.
Drakken still has a big ego, so he sees it as the world needing his help again. And he’s happy to oblige with the assumption that he’ll be compensated for his genius.
Eventually Kim convinces Shego to help. And they make a plan to defeat the baddie before going off to fight.
The four of them are fighting the henchmen or whoever, mirroring how it was at the end of the series in graduation.
Eventually they split up. Drakken and Ron stay deal with the henchman outside while Kim and Shego go inside to face the baddie.
Here might be a fun place to confirm the shego and drakken coupling by having them openly kiss goodbye before they part and Kim and Ron finding it awkward:
Ron rubs the back of his neck. “Oh… so you’re still a thing, huh?”
Drakken’s brow furrows. “Yes, we’re still a thing! Why wouldn’t we be?!”
Global justice isn’t there yet, which Kim and Shego both find very odd.
The big baddie reveals himself and a fight breaks out.
Plot twist:
Eventually they overpower the baddie and nearly take him down, but then global justice comes in and stops them.
And basically they learn that global justice creates and controls villains to stay relevant in society. They format a narrative that makes them look good, and whatever Kim and Shego are doing is messing with that narrative.
And so global justice tries to eliminate them.
But, of course, ron and drakken make it to them on time before anything happens and the four of them defeat the baddie.
Conclusion
Global Justice shuts down and the leaders get arrested. They make the front page for being corrupt.
Kim probably asks Shego if she wants to team up and fight crime together. And Shego declines because, though she’s retired, she’s still a baddie at heart.
Side note: In Venture Bros (another tv show), there’s two factions: the OSI (who are basically the good guys) and the Guild (who are the villains). It’s all done with rules and regulations, so there are heroes and villains but it’s all done by the book. All that explained, I can totally see Kim and Shego setting something like that up in the Kim Possible universe. Kim’s in charge of the heroes and Shego’s in charge of the villains. Rules and regulations are set in place, and there are consequences if you break them, but it’s still very much a world of heroism and villainy.
Anyway,
It ends with Kim and Ron getting married.
Maybe there’s a wedding montage where characters from the show appear and they’re older: Monique, the twins, Bonnie, etc.
Drakken and Shego are also there. Maybe Drakken accidentally catches Kim’s bouquet and turns to Shego, embarrassed.
And… roll credits

i don’t know what i would do to untangle Julia and 1984 from the misogyny. it’s so entrenched in the plot that you basically can’t give it any logical explanation beyond “Julia genuinely is just doing all this for no reason, because she doesn’t care and has no actual political beliefs beyond wanting to have fun, BB be damned.” which frankly, i think that’s a really interesting perspective to explore, but the Novel Julia does not explore that at all thus far. i know that set up is pretty misogynistic in and of itself and i think Newman was trying to distance her version of Julia from it, but i think you can flip it to make it make sense.
she’s never known anything but the world of Oceania and Big Brother. she is numb and indifferent to the world before because she doesn’t know anything about what freedom and life once was. she grew up in a highly surveilled world and now knows how to navigate it and slip through the cracks in order to do what she wants. her “love” for Winston is shallow on her end, but carries far more weight than she could ever recognize because of how badly this society has broken her understanding of normal relationships and life.
and then it all catches up to her, and she’s completely broken from everything that brought her joy and now, all she can do is wait for a bullet in the back of her head one day. in a way, she’s ended up exactly where she began, because although her sneaking around brought her satisfaction, i don’t think she could ever be truly happy. not in a society like Oceania. it was the inevitable end.
i just think it’d be interesting to examine how that society has led her to be so drastically different from Winston, someone who does vaguely remember what life was before Oceania was formed, and seeing his obsession with making sense of this hateful world and how to fix it. because Julia just feeling extreme contempt towards Winston saying anything and that’s it is really fucking boring, and doesn’t do anything interesting with the dynamic Winston and Julia have in the original 1984.
her doing this to betray Winston to O’Brien is definitely interesting; she does it because she’s leading him to his demise in order to protect herself, but i don’t know. i think you really could still go with the path of her utter indifference and understand that it’s basically a defense mechanism. the lack of depth is the depth in some ways. idk man 🤷‍♂️

Honest question: who are these people hating/harassing? Is it only through anons?
Maybe I’m just lucky or naive because sometimes I see people talking about the hate but I don’t actually see any evidence of it.
I found out about tumblr girl because somebody mentioned her on those anon NGL boxes on twitter and even after that no one said anything about it (negative or positive), although you can clearly see evidence of harassment on her page.
As for twitter girl, I saw a few of the big benophie accounts sharing the photo but no snarky comments, speculation or hate. Everyone just assumed she was a fan.
For anyone joining the fandom (especially benophies) or just if you want constant content without the drama, I recommend following some of the main benophie accounts like julia, Ally, valerie, flora, marie.
i know most of us were sadmad when our season was skipped and we’d complain a lot in our own benophie bubble but (at least from my perspective) we act “normal” as normal and unhinged as any fan, some questionable decisions but nothing too drastic.
There’s a few people, like the lady with the antipolin blog, that give us a bad name in the fandom. But I swear, no one who has been a benophie for a while actually interacts with her.
Maybe it’s because i’m new to this whole anon thing, but even the wording of some of this make it seem like is just one person or a group trying to “stir the pot”.
I’d suggest to just avoid petty anons.😓 Some of us have group chats, create a safe place to gossip if you really need to, just don’t put it out in the public where everyone can see it.
I honeslty think is like 1% of the fans that are wierd around the show.
Today I took the time to look into twitter and I didn't found any hate towards the twitter girl, so I'm there with you. Only people sharing her photo. So what that "friend" said through an anon, IDK honestly where it came from.
I see the accounts you name and they are the opposite to haters. So I don't really know who they talk about. They all even said no to harrass LukeT's friends, not only the one here, but in any SM.
Like I said before, I hope this ends here. Every fandom in the show has that little group of weirdos/crazy people.
Today the anon ask here for me was crazy, I only posted a couple and then I had enough of agressive comments and childish gossip.
Nothing to do with them, just ignore.

ooh, so i have a question: in a hypothetical au of your out of breath au where the car crash hadn’t have happened and blair made it to the consulate to break up with louis, what do you think would have happened next? i’ve always wondered what blair’s plan was vis-a-vis parenting in actual 5x10 if she had left louis given that her kid would have still been monegasque royalty (i think? i actually don’t know how their succession works if the parents are unmarried, but i would assume louis would have the option to recognize the child if he wanted regardless?), but especially so in light of her deciding to go it on her own and single parent! (even if dan is 100% stepping in to help her raise that kid whether they start dating or not lol)
OH well, funny you should ask, because I have an abandoned wip from late last summer, which was basically this premise. sort of.
but first, to actually answer your question: I don't know! I think, catholically speaking, a prince having a baby out of wedlock would be considered a "bastard," but in the 21st century idk if those exist anymore. theoretically, louis could/would acknowledge his child and do his best to give them rights and recognition within the royal family, but his catholic family might resist that. I kinda think -- given what we were shown -- that louis and his mother would try to exert a large amount of control over the kid whether blair was married into the family or not. remember the child rearing contract they tried to get blair to sign? i think the grimaldis would come down on her even harder if they perceived that louis was at risk of losing agency over his child's life.
and given how blair's sick & twisted mind works, she would probably anticipate the grimaldis moving to take her kid away, and she would scheme drastically to keep louis from exerting a claim over the baby. and by extension her. which brings me to the abandoned wip!
okay so, there was this abandoned fic on livejournal that was like, "what if blair and dan told everyone the baby was his so her abusive exes would leave blair the fuck alone?" and that premise is sooooo delicious I went "what if?????" and then I did not follow through.
so I tinkered with the idea that, at the crossroads of 5x10, Blair realizes that she wants out of her engagement to Louis, and her weird cosmic tie to Chuck, and her devious mind comes up with the idea the the surefire best way to make both of them so angry that they'll let her go, and make sure that louis doesn't try to take custody of the child, is to tell them that she and dan's friendship included them sleeping together at least once - enough to get her pregnant. the whole gang fell for a faked paternity test before (also including dan) why not again?
dan at first is like, blair what the fuck. but we all know he's too far gone in love with her to not help out. so they lie. they lie to everyone and it's a big mess but it does get blair free of both louis and chuck. and she tells dan he's not obligated to do or be anything but he's in on this now too, and he points out that if he were to back away (uncharacteristically) then everyone who knows them would be suspicious and boom, cover blown.
she moves into the loft and she's hormonal and the tension Builds and then they For Real sleep together and it's awesome but before they can talk about it the birth happens
anyways they are roommates and they raise this baby together and some Plot that I haven't come up with happens and then Blair realizes that she's been in love with Dan the entire goddamned time!
and Dan keeps these letters to their daughter on his computer -- he tells blair for months that he's working on his second book but nope he is just writing letters to Katharine (named for hepburn, dan calls her katie) Beach Read style. blair reads them and they make out.
For funsies, under the cut I'll paste the one scene I actually half-wrote, an exchange between Alison and Blair. The precursor is that Blair passes out in bed while Dan takes a shift with the baby, and then she wakes up and realizes that she and Dan are spooning (she's the big one) and then she stumbles into the living room looking for her kid, and boom: Alison:
“Best thing I never planned.”
Blair doesn’t say it, but she thinks Alison must hear it anyway, or feel it, the memory of that lost boy sitting in the hall. 
“But thankfully,” Alison continues, “Dan has the benefit of much more good sense.”
“Must have skipped a generation.”
Alison looks up in shock, her bouncing halting, and Katharine starts to grizzle in protest. 
“Sorry,” Blair says immediately, grimacing, “I’m really tired.”
Alison’s eyes flick up and down, looking her over, and she softens, resuming her swaying. Blair can kind of see Dan in the amusement clouding her expression. “No, you’re right,” she agrees. “Some things Dan definitely gets from me, like his taste in movies and thinking with his heart over his head.” She smiles slightly, and Katharine makes a restless noise, her tiny fist flailing in the air by Alison’s arm. “But he’s like Rufus in a lot of ways. They’re stayers. Always bloom where they’re planted.”
Blair bobs her head listlessly in agreement. Dan stays. He always has, ever since he sat down in that hallway. 
Katharine’s noises grow in frequency and volume, and Alison steps towards Blair, making to hand her over. 
“Oh,” Blair unwittingly takes a step back, hands going up, “I don’t know – but you’re doing so…”
“It’s you she wants,” Alison says gently. “You’ve got her.”
Blair takes a deep breath, and extends her arms.
“Yeah,” Alison whispers brightly, her voice turning up in that way everyone’s does when they’re talking to a baby. “There’s mama!” she says as she helps settle Katharine onto Blair’s chest. 
Blair’s breath catches in fear for a moment, but then Katharine’s grizzle of discontent softens into a coo, her fists waving lazily as she gapes up at Blair in open, honest trust.
And then, Blair finally realizes she’s been rocking from foot to foot, shifting her weight just like Alison had been. 
“You’re a natural, honey,” Alison says quietly, patting Blair lightly on the shoulder before letting go. “I can work through these,” she waves a hand at the various messes currently taking over the kitchen, “but if you need a break soon, just let me know. Whatever you need.” 
Blair pulls her eyes up from the baby in her arms, looking Alison square in the eye. “Thank you.”
Alison smiles, her dark eyes turning a familiar shade of warm and wistful, almost sad. “No thanks necessary.”

Ahhhh! I’m here now! For the actual fic request!!!
spoiler alert!!! It’s THUNDER ANGST!
basically if you know anything about me is that I am the number one simp for any Thunder angst fic.
It’s gonna be a Toradeen fic! So that should fall into your rules!
So basically what I was thinking, was Clawdeen and Toralei are paired together to do some project. And so they’re working on it in the library or something late at night. They’re not enemies anymore. But friends also feels like a wrong term. More like acquaintances with extreme chemistry lol.
but then, of course. A FREAK THUNDERSTORM happens!
Toralei is of course scared. But she at first tries to hide it. But that quickly fails drastically since she’s way to scared of it to hide her reactions. And now (I’m low key having my own fic be some kind of unspoken base for this? It’s nothing big I’m just saying there was a storm while Tor was being brutally tortured). Like Toralei already had a bad phobia of storm. But since the stabbing it’s like so much worse and she gets these panic attacks and fears the witches are gonna get her again.
Clawdeen is very alarmed cause she doesn’t really know what to do. But now there is a shaking ball of fur hiding underneath the table and the little whimpers she’s emitting absolutely break her heart. So she forces past her awkwardness and ducks down with her. And idk. She helps/comforts her through the panic attack then storm? Some fluff at the end. Toralei probably needs close contact after the panic attack to get through the storm (cause during the panic attack any touch scares the shit out of her) but after when it’s just the storm fear she craves hugs and comfort desperately
idk!!! You do what you want with that! That’s just me rantinb about thunder angst. But I’m excited to see what you do! And any updates on it would be greatly appreciated but I also totally get if you don’t! Take your time!!! I’m very excited!
Please do not repost on other platforms. This will be posted on AO3 and TTBC under the same username.
Toralei didn't like thunderstorms. No, she hated thunderstorms.
She understood they were just a natural part of the weather cycle and typically not dangerous so long as you didn't go outside in steel armor, but they'd always freaked her out ever since she was a little kid.
This fear became especially bad after she'd been tortured by witches. By complete coincidence, there'd been a storm going on when she was attacked, permanently forming a link in her mind between the memory of her attack and thunderstorms.
She was already a bit irritated because she'd been paired up with Clawdeen Wolf, of all people, for a class assignment. Sure, the two weren't enemies anymore, but friends also felt like one hell of a stretch.
Still, she endured. She supposed there were definitely worse people to get paired with, at least in terms of productivity. Clawdeen, as it turned out, was actually pretty knowledgeable on the subject they were working on, which she hadn't been expecting from a half-monster who'd been solely raised by a human almost her whole life.
It all went to shit, though, when a sudden clap of thunder radiated in from outside, shaking the whole library with the aftershocks. Her whole body immediately went rigid and Clawdeen shot her a concerned look.
This was bad. This was really bad. Not only was there apparently a thunderstorm now (which had not been on the forecast that morning when she checked), but she also couldn't let Clawdeen Wolf know that she had a fear of thunderstorms.
"Just startled me" she said dismissively, trying to force the shake out of her hands and voice. Clawdeen gave her a small, sympathetic smile that made her want to crawl into a hole and die.
It wasn't long before another clap of thunder came along and shook her to her very core. She was unable to suppress the flinch or the terrified whimper, and her breathing was picking up at an alarming rate, as was the pitter-patter of her heart.
"Toralei, it's okay if you're freaked o-"
"I am not freaked out!" Toralei objected maybe a bit too passionately. Her whole body was trembling at this point and she was completely hopeless to stop it. The cat was out of the bag, so to speak. Clawdeen knew she was freaking out. Great.
"Tor-" Clawdeen was cut off by another clap of thunder, which caused the werecat to squeal in fear and leap under the study table.
Clawdeen just sat there for a moment, unsure of what to do. While she wasn't rivals with Toralei anymore, the two were hardly friends, and she'd also never seen the girl freaked out like this before. She wasn't sure how exactly to approach the situation and she felt stuck.
Her unsure daze was quickly broken by the panicked whimpers coming from under the table. Personal comfort be damned, she had to at least try.
She cautiously got out of her seat and kneeled down to look under the table. Toralei was curled in a ball, her terrified eyes poking out from behind her knees and darting around frantically, as though the world was closing in on her.
Clawdeen had only experienced a panic attack once in her life, and it was when she'd first shifted into her human form. She tried to remember what Frankie had done to calm her down. Talking her down and... Some sort of bubbly water...
She didn't have bubbly water, but she did have her voice.
"Hey, Toralei" she said in a soft voice. Toralei's eyes continued to dart about but landed solidly on her a few times. As good a start as any, Clawdeen thought. She reached out her hand but the werecat flinched away, so she quickly retracted it. "No touch. Got it"
"They're coming" Toralei began to mutter repeatedly. Clawdeen frowned. She looked around but no one else seemed to be near their corner of the library.
"Who's coming?"
"The witches" Toralei said. "They're coming to take me back. That's why there's a thunderstorm" she explained. The rational part of her brain knew that didn't really make any sense, but that part of her brain was a shrimp in comparison to the vast majority, which was currently panicking. "There was a thunderstorm last time, so-"
"Toralei, I promise you, no witches are trying to get in here right now" Clawdeen said. "Even if they were, I'm not letting you get kidnapped, okay? You're safe here"
It took a few minutes, but Toralei's panic attack began to let up and she silently moved herself closer to Clawdeen. The immediate trauma response may have finished its course, but she still decidedly hated thunderstorms.
Clawdeen allowed the sudden switch in behavior and didn't comment on Toralei's sudden clinginess, instead just wrapping her arms around the clearly afraid girl, occasionally muttering basic reassurances whenever another clap of thunder came down, causing the werecat's trembling to worsen.
When the storm eventually decided to go away and bother someone else, Toralei came to her senses and realized how close in proximity she'd gotten to the other girl.
She quickly pulled out of the hug and got out from under the table, brushing herself off and blushing furiously- Whether it was embarrassment or realization that she didn't completely hate that closeness was beyond her.
"So..." Clawdeen started awkwardly, also getting out from under the table. "You wanna finish working on the project, or-"
"Yes"
"Okay"
They would end up getting an A+ on that assignment, something which Toralei found inexplicably fascinating, and, when possible, the pair always tried to work together in that class from that point forward.

BASIC ASTRO OBSERVATIONS
sb: i’ve been learning about astrology since late 2020 and FINALLY wanted to make my first observation post. this is from what i’ve gathered from the ppl i’ve met over the past few years.
- cancer placements (esp women) LOVE to look presentable. ladies always have their nails/hair done and in general have good sense of style and love to take pictures. all of them ik put a good amount of effort into their daily appearance on a regular basis.
- cancer placements hate sitting still/being alone. every cancer ik always has to have SOMETHING to do (vs me, a pisces, who LOVES having nothing to do). they can be clingy, especially if ur their favorite person, and HATE being ignored.
- virgo placements (esp risings) always have such a DISTINCT NOSE. not even big, just prominent.
- leo venus men have BIGGG 🤭 lollll. they are very persistent when it comes to someone they want and also have a huge dominance kink; aggressive.
- 8h profection year REALLY IS SHITTY omgg. every person ik has had an event that changed them drastically occurring at 19 years old. (not to scare anyone lol. drastic life changes are inevitable).
- taurus ppl have a green/brown/gold aura. idk how to explain but iykyk lmao.
- you can always tell a sagittarius from the way they talk. they talk a lot in general but when talking about something they’re knowledgeable in, they’re very “matter-of-fact” & always think they’re the smartest in the room lol. a little bossy too, but with good intentions.
- geminis r also easy to spot. they have kind eyes, makes them look v warm & friendly. gems talk w/ their hands and talk A LOT. when they’re silent, it feels weird.
- sag/cap cusp suns are the easiest signs for me to spot. they embody both sag traits & cap traits. talkative, personable, flighty, BUT ALSO hardworking, goal-oriented, and a strong sense of self/leadership.
- most, if not all libras i know, have puppy-like features! lol not in a rude way, they are so cute. but i can always tell one someone is a libra sun/rising bc they have a puppy nose (very proportionate) or puppy dog eyes.
- as someone w/ heavy mutability in my natal chart, we can be so fake. i find myself acting different depending on who i’m around. geminis get the “two-faced” stereotype, but it’s really all of us. i’ve noticed sags & virgos are def more blunt tho.
- i love scorpio placements but they are such LIARS! they fabricate stories/purposely leave out certain parts to others and i really dk why! def one of my favorite placements tho. makes for a beautiful & deep person.
- i’ve noticed with my cancer in 11h, i ALWAYS end up having friends with cancer placements.
- & even though i’m never regarded as the “mom” of the friend group, my cancer 11h and virgo 1h means people are ALWAYS coming to me for advice & comfort. even people i barely know always feel comfortable enough to tell me their deepest secrets & open up to me about things they don’t tell many others.
okkkk if i think of anything else i will add it, but this is all for now! toodles
