ELLIE WILLIAMS X READER

mdni please<3

warnings: 18+!! but i think its minors safe this time!!; reader crying

writers note: its short and just two of my thoughts but still decided to post it🤗 ALWAYS when i make sum scenarios in my head i imagine im tommys and marias daughter cus !! its like so abziabshh being joels niece too ??? omg.

as tommy's and maria's daughter, the risk of you getting hurt was always lower than other residents'. being a favored princess, only doing little jobs somewhere in the town, you were living a dream of most girls your age. you didn't have to patrol, to risk your life, to be used to hold a gun like it's nothing. and you could shoot - joel teached you, just in case. but you pointed your weapon at a living target only a few times. your life was just.. calm.

there's no reason to complain, right?

right??

you hated it. you wanted nothing more than to go outside and be a hero, find supplies and kill those monsters.

you felt useless, sitting in jackson and doing only paperwork or gardening. you didn't care it was important too. you wanted to be a soldier with a holster swinging down your hip, maybe a switchblade with a cool design in your pocket. after a long day in work you'd meet up with your friends, share your memories and tips. maybe even trade some cards you found while scavenging.

you spent so much time complaining and begging your parents for a chance to go outside and face the dangers of the world. but you were always met with the same answer - that you were too precious to risk, too valuable to put in danger.

you never understood why they didn't see you the same way they saw ellie. you felt that you were capable of just as much as she was, if not more. but it was always her who got the spotlight, while you were left to your own devices, growing bitter and resentful.

one day, not just a typical day but your birthday, you found your family - tommy, maria, joel and ellie - waiting for you in the living room. you hated the awkward 'my little girl is becoming a lady!' things, but you put on the best fake smile you could. it turned to a real smile pretty fast, just as you heard about your gift.

"we'll allow you to patrol." maria smiled, before quickly shaking her head. "only with ellie, though!"

at first you stood in silence. you felt like both tommy and joel wanted you to go outside for a long time before. being locked up in a safety zone wasn't doing any good for you. if something was going to happen to jackson, you'll be left clueless in the cruel, unknown world. but how did they convince your protective mother, maria?

ellie smirked at your reaction and leaned against a wall. "you have to listen to me, too."

you knew she'll act all cocky and demanding, but it didn't ruin your happiness. in fact, you were glad to be paired with her.

and so you became one of the tough, badass survivors you wanted to. but you were still an innocent princess in their eyes.

so they couldn't stand seeing you hurt.

as soon as maria caught you sobbing onto your pillow the other day, everyone was there in a second. you were sitting in your bed, in your mother's arms. ellie placed herself next to you, caressing your hand and rubbing reassuring circles on your thigh. joel was pacing around the room, trying to not point his gun at anyone who made you feel this way, while tommy wether kneeled in front of you or joined your uncle in lame attempt to calm themselves down.

"what the fuck happened?" your dad leaned against a nearby wall.

ellie rolled her eyes, thinking his aggressiveness is useless. "it's about jane."

jane was a girl your age, freshly welcomed to jackson. she didn't know much about it so she was the first one to judge. and well... let's say she didn't like how popular you are.

joel frowned and repeated quiet; "jane?" as if to make sure he heard it correctly.

you sniffled and wiped your tears on your sleeve, feeling the overwhelming attention of everyone in the room.

"well, jane's got some real issues if you ask me." joel growled, his voice quiet and dangerous.

"indeed." tommy nodded, his mind already brewing up a plan. "we should send her packing before things escalate."

"no, we can't do that." maria frowned, thinking hard of a solution to the problem. "don't forget she's here because she saved ellie."

to that, your girlfriend quickly let you go and stood up. "saved me?!" she threw her hands in the air in frustration. "she killed one infected that was after me, i'd handle it myself just as easily!"

your mom held her hands out in an attempt to calm ellie, but the girl was too angry and frustrated to see a reason to.

"hey, hey!" maria chided her. "it's not worth arguing. let's just settle this and move on."

ellie gritted her teeth as she took a deep breath, trying to collect herself. "fine." she said through clenched teeth. "but she better not pull anything again, or i swear i'm gonna-"

"ellie!" tommy shouted, cutting her off mid-sentence.

"no, ellie's right." joel said in a stern, serious tone. "jane's no hero and we can't let her sabotage our community. she won't stop after a pathetic little warning."

your parents froze for a moment, the words finally hitting them.

"joel," maria finally started, her tone serious and concerned. "we can't just kick someone out like that. that's not how we handle things here."

"well, how do we handle them then?" joel shot back. "because letting someone like jane stay is gonna be a threat to our safety."

after a short moment of silence, maria finally spoke up again. "i get where you're coming from," she nodded and repeated; "but this is not the way we do things."

your uncle just huffed in frustration, his arms crossed. "fine." he murmured quietly. "have it your way."

ellie, on the other hand, was quietly seething. she wanted to go up to jane and knock some sense into her head, but she bit her tongue and kept quiet.

as maria left the room, ellie's rage came spilling out. "she's trouble!" she hissed, pacing back and forth. "she just needs someone to put her in her place. can i-"

"no." your dad cut you off, his voice firm. "maria said no. we're not doing this."

ellie bit her lip in frustration as she looked back and forth between him and you, torn between wanting to listen and wanting to see jane struggle, like you do now. eventually, she took your mom's place in comforing you.

with joel out of the picture, you and ellie shared a deep glance. the shared anger and frustration in your eyes was something only you two understood. it felt like you communicated telepathically. without saying a word, she wrapped her arms around you. this sort of closeness was something you rarely shared in front of others, but in this moment it just felt right. you two were bonded by the same negative feelings, and in that moment you were both on the same wavelength.

maria came back to see you, face buried in ellie's chest, as she made some shushing noises into your ear. she shared a concerned look with tommy and joel, which agreed to leave you both alone for now. your mom felt satisfied by the fact ellie decided to let jane be.

just a few days later you were able to come out without worrying about bumping into her, because even when you did, she'd apologize and quickly walk away. you never asked anyone what happened, no one told you anything too. jane wasn't the type of a person to get offended by words, so whatever happened, it must really affect her..

Bitchin' | Steve Harrington

Request: Steve Harrington having a goth GF and meeting the kids Requested by: @isatuamor

Bitchin' | Steve Harrington x Reader

It all started from Steve asking you about finally meeting his kids. "Would you like to meet them?" He would ask with a wide smile and love in his eyes. You didn't know if it was for you or for the kids but you felt bad. You declined that time. Trust me, you wanted to meet them- you REALLY did but you were scared. You weren't like Nancy or Robin or hell even other people Steve got with. "Why not?" He whined. He grabbed onto your hand and swung it a bit. "Please, They mean the world to be and it would be nice if the other side of my world met each other." He pouted, running a hand trough his very nice styled hair. "Steve.. Im scared." You admitted, "What if they don't like me? What if they don't like me? As You said they're your world and i need them to like me. Im not your usual type i know that. I don't look like Nancy or Pam or Tammy or any other person who you've been with. I dress in all dark clothing, my make-up is sometimes things that haunts peoples dreams and my music keeps people up at night." "Listen , None of that will matter to them. They're a couple of misfit kids who will love you just as much as I do okay." His hands snaked round to grab your waist, pulling you close to him. "Fine i'll meet your kids." you sighed. His wide smile returned and kissed you. "Good because they'll be here in-" He looked at his watch and then at you. "10 minutes." He pulled away and then rushed out of the room as you fell onto his bed. This was not going to be easy.

A loud pounding was heard exactly ten minutes after it was announced. Your breath started to get heavy and your hands started to shake. Steve grabbed your hands quickly, "Breath. Come on follow after me." He breathed in and out , making you follow his lead which calmed you down a bit. "I swear they're not bad. They will love you." "Come on Harrington! We don't got all day." One of the kids behind the front door yelled. Steve sighed as you chucked. Steve released you and motioned you to stay put. "Stay here." He said as he made his way to the door, You had calmed down a bit but still was highly nervous. He opened the door and six different kids popped into the house, one after the other. "What movie are we watching tonight Harrington?" This kid had curly hair under a baseball cap. Steve clasped his hands together, "Right about that. Before we do that i would like you to see someone special to me." A chorus of 'who's' played throughout the kids as you slowly and quietly got off of his couch and slightly stepped towards the group. "My partner." He said slowly with a smile on his face as he looked at each kids face fill with shock. "Who would date you?" The same kids as before asked. Ouch, that had to hurt Steve's ego. You took your leap then, just as Steve was about to open his mouth. "Me, I would." You spoke and watched each head whip to you quickly. Their mouths hung open and eyes went wide. "Woah." They all said together. This made you uncomfortable, these kids were Steve's everything and they don't like you. "How did you land them Steve?" One of them finally spoke, It was a red-headed girl. She smirked towards Steve and then back at you. "I'm Max." She said nodding at you. Each of them then spoke up introducing themselves.

"Dustin." "Mike, and thats El or Jane." He mentioned to a young girl with wavy short hair. She smiled awkwardly. "Will." "Lucas."

You smiled at them, dear god were they just the cutest. "I'm (Y/N). " You said shyly. You looked down and played with some chains hanging from your outfit. "So what movie are we watching kids?" Steve spoke up and smiled at you. He was happy, unbelievably happy. He know they kids liked you, some of the brats even liked you a little too much. What can he say, you're very easy on the eyes if you will. The kids bursted out in suggestions and bickering amongst themselves, as they did that Steve wrapped an arm around you. "They like you very much." "How can you know that?" You questioned, because of how you looked at it. It didn't seem to be going well. The kids continued to bicker until they finally settled on a movie. You noticed that the bowl of popcorn was empty, so you grabbed it and whispered to Steve that you're going to get the rest. He nodded, entranced by the movie. You got up, quickly and quietly, heading to the kitchen to get the rest. You were making your way back when you heard hushed voices. "So what do you guys think of them?" Steve asked in a hushed voice. You stopped walking when you heard that. Stopping all movement to hear the responses. "They're so cool! You see how they're dressed!" Mike exclaimed with excitement. It was still very hushed as they were all huddled together. Max was the next one to speak up, "They're not like the others. You're different , they're different. " She side smiled at Steve. "Yeah!," Dustin exclaimed, only to be shushed by the group. "Remember your other dates? Most of them picked on us. This one, they're nervous but they haven't said anything bad to us- unlike others." It was sad to think what type of people Steve has brought around them to make them feel this way. The rest said similar things before they turned to El. "How about you kid?" Steve said softly. She looked up from her hands and smiled. "Bitchin'" Steve's face exploded in a wide smile as El's words came from her mouth and jokingly told her not to cuss. You thought it was a good time to come back. You placed on a good fake confused face and looked towards the screen and Carrie was getting drenched in pig's blood. "Uh, what are we laughing at?" They all un huddled quickly and pulled away from each other. All shaking their heads and repeating a chorus of 'no's''. You slide back into your spot next to Steve and lean into him and whisper. "I really like your kiddos." You smile at him and kiss his cheek. As soon as you do that a body leans against you. It was will, who looked tired and wanted to rest. He was already knocked out before you could say anything. " Our kiddos." Steve kissed the side of your head and repeated it again with a smile.

Omg Rai can u do one where peter and reader are best friends from childhood and reader is in love with him but after he got a gf he's gf tells him to break their friendship so he did and regrets it but didn't do anything... So after years he gets a wedding invitation card from reader and He's heartbroken.. I just want angst pls😭💔

Got you babe❤ The fact that I was listening to red when you sent this. Note the MJ in this fic is the og Mary Jane Watson not Michelle Jones. Hope you like this. Let me know what you think.

Loving him was Red

Pairing : Peter Parker x Reader

Song inspo : Red by T.S

Warnings : angst, missed typos.

You were in your bedroom which you shared with your fiancé Harry Osborn, the next CEO of the Oscorp industries with whom your wedding was slated for next week at his posh country house. You were sitting at the edge of the bed with your phone in one hand that had your contacts list open while you caressed your engagement ring on your ring finger with your thumb lost in your own thoughts.

“Honey? Y/N?” Harry’s voice startles you as you look up at him.

“Huh yeah sorry I didn’t hear you” 

“It's ok I just came to ask if you have anyone else left to add to our wedding guest list or should I finalize this?” he says, you glance down at your phone as your eyes lingered at the contact saved as Peter🕷🕸💔 with a photo of him.

“Well actually I do have one” you say with slight hesitation.

“OK say the name I’ll add” 

“Peter Benjamin Parker” you tell him.

“His name is already there in the list” he informs you.

“Oh I had no idea you were acquaintances” 

“More than acquaintances, actually we were best friends in college but how do you know him?” he asks.

“Uh we were friends I mean best friends back in high school” you said.

“So what happened?” 

“Well life happened, we graduated and went our separate ways eventually we lost touch” you shrugged nonchalantly.

“That's sad but hey I’m sure he would be thrilled to see you again” he cheers you up.

“Hope so” you smiled as he gave a kiss to your forehead and left you by yourself as you got lost in your memories.

It has been eight good years since you graduated from Midtown High and closed a chapter of your life which you no longer want to revisit because it just brings back painful memories of how you lost your best friend as well as your first love on the same day. And even after completing med school and being engaged to the most wonderful loving person and your fiancé Harry you still think of the possibility of what if you showed a little extra courage and confessed your feelings to Peter. Even if he would have rejected you at least you could have got some peace of mind and not think of the possibility of what if things would have actually worked out back then?

Damn you whoever said that you can never get over your first love 'cause it’s true.

Peter Parker that name was enough to make butterflies erupt in your stomach. You and Peter were joined at the hip as far as you can remember since elementary school. He was this shy kid of the class, his soft brown curls splayed across his forehead as he stuck out his tongue the corner of his mouth focused on scribbling gibberish on his notebook which you found cute.

You remember approaching him and asking him if you can sit beside him to which he nervously said yes, that’s when everything started. And time went by as you grew up together. You laughed and cried together and celebrated each other’s accomplishments. You were so close that people often used to mistake you as a couple but you both would dismiss it saying that it is so weird because you were best friends and it will always be like that.

But maybe you always had feelings for him and it just grew with passing time. They kept knocking at the door of your heart but you were confused and used to brush them off.

Then one day it just happened out of nowhere you were at his place studying for your chemistry test and he was explaining to you a topic that you were having difficulty in understanding with a soft look on his face and your heart stopped. It feels like the world has disappeared around you and everything has come to a standstill, it’s just you and him and in a weird but beautiful way you feel whole but you still couldn’t exactly name this feeling.

You never know you love your best friend until someone comes into their life. And MJ was that someone. You knew Peter had a longtime crush on her since middle school. He used to gush about how pretty she is, especially with her red hair and green eyes. But you never thought that he would have the courage to act on his feelings or you just had convinced yourself that you both are going to be together all your life. 

The day Peter walked down the halls with MJ hand in hand  and that was what it took for you to realize that you have fallen hard for your best friend and it was too late now. You stayed up all night at the rooftop of your apartment listening to Peter about how he finally asked her out and she said yes and they kissed. How magical it felt for him to finally get to call his longtime crush his girlfriend. 

Every time you saw them together laughing, sneaking in lonely kisses you couldn’t ignore the pang of jealousy in your heart. Even though you want him to be happy, you also want to be the one who makes him happy. You scoff at the thought but it is true, the heart wants what it wants. 

You know this love you have for him leads you to a dead end with no exit. It is a passionate yet sinful feeling as you sleep picturing yourself in his arms while you try to count the freckles on his face. Your mind has already made the decision and now there’s no going back. 

You now crave his attention even more but you also get scared. You don’t want to create this awkwardness between the two of you. You are afraid of his reaction, you don’t want to lose what you already have, a beautiful friendship. But, you know that you’ve already lost your heart to him without either of you knowing and so you started acting out on those unrequited feelings.

You tried to find excuses to be with him even if you didn’t need him. You would call him up for silly reasons just to hear his voice or ask him to come over just to spend a little more time with him. But you should have known better because you can’t really hold on to someone. 

Just like you can’t hold on to sand in your fist -- it will eventually slip away. The tighter you wanted to hold onto Peter, the more he slipped away. You went from talking all day all night to barely a few distant texts a day. However busy you both might be with your lives you always used to find time for each other and now he doesn’t even show up at your window for days. You had to come to terms that your relationship with Peter was nearing it’s expiry date and that dreadful day arrived pretty soon.

Peter had called you earlier that he would come by your place and you got a little bit of hint of what is to happen later because he never called you beforehand to see you. It was a clear sky, stars twinkling like little fireflies against the dark canvas of the night as you and Peter sat next to each other on the rooftop. Few moments passed as you both went about each other’s day but you knew Peter more than anyone else in this world. The whole time of your conversation he was fiddling with his fingers anxiously, a frown creased his forehead as he frequently zoned out in between.

“Ok what is it?” you finally asked him.

“What?” he blinked his eyes owlishly as if he was caught. 

“There's something on your mind I know so just spill it out” you told.

“No there's-there's nothing” he fumbled.

“Peter I have known you since childhood so stop pretending. I have been watching you since the time you arrived you have been distracted the whole time” you confront him.

“I do have something to tell you” he mumbles, staring down at his lap.

“Well I'm listening”

“Uh….I really don’t know where to start” he hesitated.

“Peter, it's just me. You can tell me whatever you want” you assured him.

“Yeah I know” he said sadly.

“So?” you nudged him further.

He sighed “It’s about MJ”

“Is everything alright between you two?” you frowned in concern.

“Yeah, yeah it’s fine” he reassures you.

“Then?”

“It’s-it’s about you” a lump forming inside his throat as he said that.

“Me? What about me?” you looked at him surprised even though you know what is coming next.

“MJ doesn’t like seeing me talking to you she-she thinks there’s something going on  between us”

“But that’s not true you and I we have always been friends” 

“Yes, yes I know and I tried everything to make her believe the same but she won’t listen to anything and now she wants me to…” he trails away.

“Break our friendship” you finished the sentence for him.

“Believe me Y/N I really don’t want to do this” he added.

“I believe you Pete but I also know how much you love her. She makes you happy and what kind of best friend would I be if I were to keep you away from your happiness?” you gave a tight lipped smile.

“Y/N…”

“It’s ok Peter your happiness is mine too and if breaking your friendship with me makes her happy then you should do it” you don’t know how you managed to say all this without breaking down in front of him because it felt like someone pierced thousands of needles inside your heart such was the pain.

“I’m sorry Y/N but I really love her and I couldn’t say no to her” he looked at you apologetically.

“I understand Peter there’s no need to be sorry after all she’s your first love” just like he was your first love and you are ready to sacrifice your friendship for his happiness. You stayed silent for a while soaking in the last bit of your moments together before you broke the silence.

“So this is it?” you sighed.

“I guess so. But I’m really sorry” he apologized.

“It’s fine anyways it’s just only one more month before we leave for college this won’t be a big problem for me I mean you can text right if not talk in person?”

“Yeah that’s right. Y/N I want you to know that you’ll always be my best friend and anytime you need my help I’ll always be there for you” he told you.

“I’ll keep that in mind Parker”

And just like that you let him go even when you know that he is worth a fight, that he is your home. Even though it breaks your heart into pieces and every atom of your body wants to hold him back but you know your home has found a new destination and it’s time for you to move on.

You stood up and went to your closet to pull out a worn out red sweatshirt from the back. It belonged to Peter which you stole at one of your sleepovers because you felt safe and comfortable in it, because it reminded you of him. It was the only thing you couldn’t get rid of, you didn’t want him to completely disappear from your life.

You bring the sweatshirt to your face and deeply inhale it’s scent as you are instantly reminded of those beautiful memories you had made together. Those late night conversations you had while you stitched him up when he appeared at your window all battered and bruised from a fight or all those fun star wars movie nights where you threw popcorn at each other and fought with pillows.

Peter was your comfort person, he was like the summer breeze against your skin. Every time you held hands or he hugged you it lit up a spark inside you. His freckles, his smile, his hazel brown eyes, the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he laughed, the way he scrunched his face when he knew he messed up, the way he played with his fingers when he was nervous you had memorized him like the lyrics of your old favorite song. The numerous silly fights you had which ended up both of you laughing as you tried figuring out why you fought in the first place.

You regret that you let yourself get attached to him so much without knowing that love could be this strong. You had said you would be fine but the first few months you were a mess the feeling of loneliness was eating you alive you had lost the shoulder you could always lean on to cry your heart out. You missed him and that was the truth. You wish you would have never met because it hurts when you love someone with all your heart and he doesn’t love you back. So when he left it was like he took all the colors away from your life, the warm summer breeze in your life transitioned to the chilly autumn breeze. And you realized that loving him was red.

And even after all these years those memories still echoes in your mind. How much ever you tell yourself that it’s time to let go but forgetting him is like forgetting a part of you. So you are going to embrace your new life with all those memories, finally making peace with the fact that moving on from him is impossible when you still see it all in your head in burning red.        

****

Peter returned to his apartment in the evening after a hectic day at the daily bugle. He opened his letterbox to find an invitation and a smile appeared on his face when he found out it was from his college pal Harry Osborn. He opened the card to find all his happiness fading away when he saw your name as the bride. 

No this is not how he imagined to meet you again after all these years. The last one month of senior year was painful for him. Seeing you across the hallway and not able to hug you or hold your hands felt like a punishment to him but he consoled his heart by saying at least he gets to see your face everyday. But the day you graduated and went your separate ways it didn’t take him a day to realize what a big mistake he had made breaking off your friendship. 

He had been chasing after a false notion of love and happiness when he already had it with you because unbeknownst of his knowledge he had been in love with you all this time. It didn’t take him much time after that to call it quits with MJ as he went running back to your apartment to be informed by your parents that you have already left for Europe to pursue medicine at Oxford.

He tried calling you, texting you to let you know about how he felt for you but you never replied. And he knew that he had lost you forever but still he wouldn’t give up his hopes of meeting you one day as you had promised to always be there for each other. 

Some days he would swipe through your photos he had in his phone and reminisce about the old times how everything was perfect because you were there by his side. He would almost end up running his fingers through your name, type another apology asking you to come back but would always end up hitting the backspace. 

He still smiles when it rains remembering how you danced in it. He still reads your old texts. He still waits for your name to show up in his call logs cause he misses you, he misses his best friend whom he had fallen in love but was too stupid to figure it out before it was too late. And now he can’t stop loving you.

He still doesn’t know why he let you go, you were his everything and now you are his almost. He wishes he could tell you how much it hurts to think about you everyday because he too sees it all in his head in burning red.

PART 2

[crazyyanderefangirlfan]

What if the AU boys swapped clothes and places with the recruiter boys without telling anyone as a prank? I like to think once things are back they realize something's up and happened while that happened, one of which I'll give to you

AU Boys' GFs (after the swap): Well, this is a shock

Mal/Jack/Joe/Vince: Hm? Me kissing you?

AU Boys' GFs: Yeah. I mean, you kind of spent last week not even kissing me let alone a make out session. You even looked away when I took a bath

Mal/Jack/Joe/Vince: *silently has new respect for the guys*

It was Au Jack’s idea, he wanted to see how many people they can trick and compare lives.

His brothers had weren't so sure about it, especially if their mom and grandma can sense if it wasn't them, but Jack waved them off and retorted that she won't say anything if it's in good nature. It took time but they agreed.

Since they basically look alike they don't need to change anything except for Apple, Malfie and Jack. Au Jack and Malachite managed to buy multiple washable tattoos replicating their own, but him and Vince had to pierce their counterparts ears.

"Are you two sure you know what your doing?" Apple questioned as he and Malfie laid down with ice cubes on their ears as they wait for Vince and Mal heat the needles. The rest were at the sides waiting.

"Relax, me and Vince pierce our friends ears as well as some family friends." Malachite reassured, finally sterilizing the needles.

"It's true, they're the ones who did Vera and Jane's ears." Dante added.

Malfie and Apple weren't convinced but they came this far.

"Now, on the count of three remove the ice cubes." Vince instructed with a lemon and needle in hand.

"1."

"2."

"3."

Screams were heard that day.

Once they were all given a brief lecture to do and what not do they were ready.

Dalmatia had pleasant time talking to Dante's mother at dinner, she didn't realize her son was switched which was good and now had to sit while the woman piled his plate and talking about her new project.

"Darling are they even feeding you in school? Here have more, you look too skinny. Also, after school you have to help get some new fabrics for fashion line that's coming up."

"Yes, mum."

"Hey brat, pass the sauce." Cece asked. There was pause with the four other males, wondering who was she talking too. Dinner with the Kemnohitos was something, for one most of the time they had to use chopsticks. They were thankful they were taught some Japanese etiquette before coming.

"Well? Jack?" That brought them back to life.

"Huh? Oh yeah, here sis." He gave her the small bowl. She raised an eyebrow at him but took it.

"Boys are you okay? You all have been acting strangely." The mother asked, concern in her eyes.

"We're fine mom, nothing to worry about." Malfie replied, trying to be as casual as possible.

"Maybe their girls have been blue balling them." Nadia snickered. Joe yelled in protest, that seemed to be normal cause she just stuck her tongue out to him.

The next morning the boys were woken up early by the girls, saying they had to work out. They thought nothing and thought it was like jogging or something like that.

They were so wrong.

It was a brutal combat exercise, where they had to not only train with sandbags on tied on their body and fight dummies, they had to spar with the girls who were just ruthless.

By the end of it they were on the ground sweating heavily.

Thankfully something like this was normal and they weren't questioned.

As they got their bags they noticed the girls were kissing the woman on the head and getting their heads patted by the grandmother, it felt weird doing it but it was nice.

So far so good.

Meanwhile the Kemonohito brothers and Dante were doing the best they can to not get notice by other recruits. In the hotel they stayed they had a gym which the brothers used for their daily exercised but were caught by Farja who immediately questioned them. It was hard to speak to someone who looked so much like their sister but Vince gave her an excuse about being more fit which was fine with her.

They tried they're best to act like their counterparts, but they can't help but slip.

Such as Au Joe and Vince braiding Farja's hair with flowers, Au Jack jumping on Ms. Hades' back and demanding a piggyback ride, Malachite kissing PS's forehead when she's upset and Dante buying take out and throwing it on Lady Hock's and Veil's faces thinking they would catch it.

While the girls thought they were being weird, Ms. Hades had sneaking suspicion.

With work however was another story, they came to their shows enough times to get what they're doing but in all honesty and respect to them, they found this a bit embarrassing.

But they tried to bear with it and by the third day they couldn't take it anymore.

So as everyone was getting ready for the show, the boys were preparing as well. Once the audience was in place they got started.

Everyone including the rest of the recruits and hosts were taken aback when music blasted through the speakers.

🎵Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey🎵

Mr. V wanted scold them for doing such a stunt but he can't deny it was attracting a large crowd and everyone was loving it, including the other hosts.

The female recruits however had a nagging feeling when they saw the performance but didn't say anything cause it was working and confirming Ms. Hades' thoughts.

At the end of the song, the boys simply introduced themselves ad who they're villains were.

"So what do you think?" Malachite asked through the mike. "Is the villains world more alluring than the heroes?"

He received a chorus of multiple yes's. He grinned.

"Then join us in our world, where you can experience sin without consequence." He finished with a wink, earning multiple screaming fangirls.

Once the show was done, Mr. V came up to them with a frown.

"I want to be mad at you guys for doing this but since it was a major success and everyone loved it, continue."

The boys blinked at his words and slowly nodded. After that they went back to the hotel.

Ms. Hades came up to them, and gave Dante a piece of paper and left, curious they opened it.

'If we have to got our villains, be sure compose yourselves and do not slip' Was all it said. The boys froze but were on guard.

They preformed for four more days, getting more and more people to join and at the same time making Mr. V rich. (He began charging), until it as time to go to their villains.

Vince had to suffer the Evil Queen's vanity and give her compliments every thirty minutes and gather ingredients for her potions, which wasn't bad just tiring.

Malachite had to try his hardest on acting as Malfie, which was difficult itself. Maleficent kept looking at him oddly but said nothing.

Honestly nothing changed for Au Jack so kept acting like normal so the Queen of Hearts didn't notice anything. But sometimes he would use any long material as drumming sticks and drum, which caught the attention of the other soldiers but they said nothing nd thought he was letting out steam.

Au Joe had to use a potion to turn himself to an octopus, both amazed and scared him. Ursula barely noticed anything so he was good, except the eels who glared at him.

Dante was an amazing help to Cruella with her designs. She loved how each and everyone of them were so alien and yet stylish. Horace and Jasper didn't notice anything different.

So far none of the villains notice thing which eases them, well almost.

Jack, Joe, Vince and Mal had some anxiety hen they remembered that their other selves have to spend time with their gfs to not arouse suspicion. They were praying hard that they won't overstep any boundaries.

Once the week was over, the boys swapped clothes and went back to their respective homes and nothing seemed to change.

That was until they went back to school.

The brothers found their gfs by the school stairs and made a sneak attack to kiss them.

"Oh my, what a shock." Commented Elodie.

"What? Me kissing you?"

"Actually, all of you guys for like a week." Zuri replied.

????

Their girlfriends quickly dragged them away from their friends and sisters.

Stephanie explained that the boys were oddly chaste with them, refraining from kissing them and just accepted cuddles.

Misty added that Joe had look away when she showered.

Roxy admitted it was weird and missed the intimacy.

Meanwhile their bfs were giving the other guys silent respect.

An analysis of the Bold Type that I need to get off my chest (it'll be worth it, I promise)

I studied English literature at university, and it has always been instinctive for me to analyse characters, storylines, bigger pictures and under the surface tensions in film & tv. Discussing emotions, motivations and themes with my gf and my pals late at night is one of my favourite pastimes ever and I love everything to do with filmography and art ahhhh. (I wrote my dissertation on David Bowie & The Artistry of Sexuality, ya feel me?)

The Bold Type isn't filmography at all, but I think Jane Sloan and Jacqueline Carlyle hit different for me, being a queer woman in my 20s and a full-time writer. I can't really explain why. I guess there are a lot of queer female characters in film & tv that don't really feel inherently queer, and even as two identifying straight women Jane and Jacqueline felt queer to me. Their connection and understanding of each other was authentic and quite complex. I think they had potential to be something that we'd never seen before in mainstream media, because of their age difference and life experiences. I thought that was so compelling and so important to talk about and to give a recognised space to.

There is one thing that struck me most about them and it's insane to me that I haven't seen a lot of analysis on it, so it's the point of this post.

To my knowledge the show or actors haven't delved too deeply into it either, and given what went down I don't understand why people AREN'T talking about it. I wanted to bring it up. Btw, this post contains spoilers.

***Sexual abuse trigger warning***

In season 1, we learn that Jacqueline is the victim of rape, and the only person she has told about it is her husband, Ian. Given that she mentions that they've been married for around 19 years and the assault happened before they met, we can assume Jacqueline has been carrying the weight of what happened to her for over two decades. During all that time she didn't talk about it with anyone else, not a single other person.

And then Tiny Jane comes along. Jane Sloan, the big swing writer who just wants to write meaningful stories that help other women and girls that need it, like she did growing up. She fucks up a lot on the way and slowly begins discarding her judgemental opinions as she grows. But when she is at her best she has genuine compassion and empathy for people, and despite her reservations, Jacqueline gives her the opportunity to write about the story of a rape survivor and performance artist. She isn't aware, at the time, what that means for her own trauma or her own acceptance of it. But she does it anyway, because she sees something in Jane and she has seen it there from the beginning.

Jane starts to write and, as we know, in the most beautiful and compelling moment at the season 1 finale, Jacqueline is confronted with what happened to her. She stands in Central Park holding these weights, and you can see the crushing pain in her eyes as the realisation descends down on her. She shares a look with Jane, and a moment of understanding passes between them at what this means.

Despite all this, she lets Jane capture her trauma. She lets her publish her untold experience of her rape from two decades gone. She lets millions of people see her story in writing, with Jane Sloan's name printed above it. She re-lives and faces up to the harsh reality of that pain and that truth, through Jane.

Can you even imagine the trust you must have in someone to do that? The sheer love that took, for Jacqueline to give Jane her voice and her truth, with all its painful and hard repercussions?

This storyline is the boldest part of the Bold Type. It's the most honest and the most authentic. It captures the raw emotion of Jacqueline, and of Jane, and the two characters really see each other for who they are. It's one of the reasons why their relationship is so central to the other's storyline.

We don't ever see Jane truly unpick in detail what Jacqueline did for her. It spoke so many volumes and ... well, isn't that what love is?

It's this storyline that sets the tone for their relationship over the course of the show. Jacqueline sacrifices herself for Jane again and again. She publishes the article about the lack of accessible healthcare at Safford and gets fired for doing so, purely so Jane can afford to freeze her eggs. Jacqueline says there were a lot of other things that contributed to it, but Jane knows her article was the final straw, the point of no return.

Over a decade of pouring everything she could give into Scarlet Magazine and it’s readers, only to be gone in a second. All for Jane.

And again, in season 4, in the few real moments we are given between them, one of their final interactions is Jacqueline giving Jane the go-ahead to explore a story of potential abuse at States & Nations, a company Ian is associated with. Ian literally asks Jacqueline to stop pursuing the story, due to the sexual relationship he had with the source when he and Jacqueline were separated. When Jane challenges Jacqueline over her reasoning for pulling the story, she asks her to give the story a chance. Jacqueline lets her, knowing full well that it could prove irreparably damaging to her marriage and her family, and she does it anyway.

Jacqueline chooses the truth, over her career and over her marriage. She chooses Jane. As humans, there isn't much more you can give to someone else. I’m wracking my brains trying to think of a way Jacqueline could portray her love for Jane more, and I’m all out of ideas.

I want to reiterate again how insane it is to me that none of this is really acknowledged, or at least not nearly as much as it should be amongst the show, its creators and its viewers, Jacqueline continually falls on her sword for Jane (weird analogy, but she does) and it is repeatedly glossed over. Their relationship is quickly dismissed as a "mother Jane never had" or a simple "boss/employee" power dynamic, and it seems so hollow, unjust and sorry - so unbelievably boring - in contrast to the experiences they have shared together and the sacrifices they have made.

I understand Jacqueline’s character was based on Cosmopolitan Editor in Chief, Joanna Coles, and therefore it makes sense that this queerness to her relationship with Jane was not intended. However, it’s there. Everything I mentioned in the post happened on the show in canon.

In 2021, the possibility that these two women could have romantic or sexual feelings towards each other shouldn't be a stretch. If either of these women were male characters with this much intertwined investment, high stakes and sacrifice, there would be no doubt they would be endgame. They would run away, have the hottest sex, all the while their reputations would be forever ruined in the name of love. And we, as viewers, would celebrate it without question - we would never dismiss it.

The concept of what they are, and what they can be as two women should be able to live and thrive. It should be given a beating heart. In the very least, the reality of it should be on the table and up for debate. But for many viewers, and the show’s creators, it just isn’t. And here lies the problem.

Jane and Jacqueline have such a beautiful dynamic, it is so deep and soul-wrenching. How can we ever limit what these two women are and what they would do for each other?

I really hope that one day we can see a relationship like theirs given the queer space it deserves. Because it would've been the bold thing (and the right thing) to do.

I'm going to publish a longer and more in-depth article about this on Medium, because as I said, analysing is my favourite pastime and I can't stop doing it. But for now, this is all I can manage.

Edit: Read my published Medium article.

Here's to Jane and Jacqueline and what could've been.

[weirdcrocodilelady]

My (belated) unfiltered first thoughts on Thor 4: The Fourth Thor ("Love and Thunder")

Don't expect these to be smart or organized, they are literally just my immediate thoughts about the movie, scribbled down right when they popped into my head. (spoiler alert, obviously)

MOON KNIGHT IS IN THE MARVEL OPENING TITLE!!!!!

Seems these days Marvel is on a bit of a streak where they open their movies/shows with a painfully personal snapshot of the villain, and I'm very much on board with it

Over the course of three Thor movies, Darcy went from being Jane's annoying intern to her best friend, that's beautiful

CAMP CAMP CAMP CAMP CAMP CAMP CAMP CAMP CAMP

Asgard is so advanced, yet New Asgard didn't take advantage of Earth theatre special effects? LAME! Loki would not approve

GIANT GOOOOOOAAAATS

If Moon Knight and Thor ever share a movie, they need to have Steven see one of the giant goats and nonchalantly point to it and say "goat"

Ok, I want to love the fact that Jane repaired Mjolnir on her own just by being worthy...sorry, but I just don't buy it? Would've been cool if she did it with science somehow, like Tony or Bruce would've done

Sif's back, ohhhh no, this movie's going to make me confront my bisexuality

Sif was always Thor's real soulmate, fight me

The Asgardian kids watching the battle excitedly from their rooms is the cutest, it makes me think of how Thor and Loki probably did the same thing when they were little

Jane dumped him with a LETTER? Oh, NOT cool.

Could New Asgard be any quainter? *swoon*

I wish the New Asgardian kids had more traditional Asgardian culture about them. When I saw them wearing human clothes I assumed they would at least have Asgardian decor and stuff in their homes, but then when it showed the kids' rooms they seemed to just look like the average human child's bedroom. I hope they're not over-assimilating and losing their roots

"Your ex-gf and your ex-hammer" PFFT

Val'kyrie wearing a Phantom of the Opera shirt really brings that whole scene home for me

Is it just me, or do all the New Asgardian kids look about the same age? Is there, like a reason for that? Did Asgard's adults take a page out of the Grandmaster's book, if you know what I mean...?

"Our leading lady needs a flaw" "bad catchphrases?" "eh, that works"

Thor: (Lists a bunch of gods and other mythic heroes he'd want on his fictional team); Egyptian Gods from Moon Knight: Are we a fucking joke to you

Something tells me it would absolutely INFURIATE Odin to know that Asgard has turned into a campy tourist trap for humans. Good. :)

Wait, you have to die in battle to get into Valhalla? Where does everyone else go? They can't just drop that bomb on us and expect us to move on!!!

I still don't get how Jane is worthy of Mjolnir; she just wanted it to save her own health. Understandable, but not exactly heroic

Also, why does it make her turn blonde?

When Gorr took the kids, I thought he might be trying to "save" them in some misguided way, maybe because he thought it would somehow make up for the daughter he wasn't able to save? I thought there was going to be a plot twist where he actually cared about all children because they remind him of his daughter, and that would turn out to be a "fatal flaw" in some way - that would have been interesting

Greek gods are canon in the MCU? And Thor somehow knew about and studied them at some point? OHOHOHOHOHOHO the fanfic possibilities are ENDLESS

Wait, how did Thor learn about Zeus? When he was a child on Asgard, or later when he first went down to Earth? If the former, would that make the gods of the various ancient cultures contemporaries?

Jane called Val'kyrie "Your Highness," don't you mean MAJESTY?! Show some damn respect, Jane, geez

Lol was that Dionysus in the red robe with the grapes?

THE LOKI TATTOO IS REAL!!! omg I thought that was a joke from Ragnarok that was scrapped, but they brought it back!

Zeus: Makes fun of Thor being "God of Thunder" when he just makes lightning. Also Zeus: "My lightning bolt is called 'Thunderbolt'"

When Korg fell apart I almost say HOLY SHIT out loud (so much for "perishable rock")

I'd been waiting the whole movie for Sweet Child O' Mine, and I was NOT disappointed, that was fucking epic

"Team Kids in a Cage," good band name

Tumblr, I see your "beautiful man covered in blood" and I raise you "beautiful man and women covered in whatever that gold stuff is"

SAPPHIC VAL'KYRIE CONFIRMED!!! -Say what you want about LGBT representation in Marvel all being performative, but truly I tell you if I'd seen this when I was 15 I would have been beyond thrilled

SPACE DOLPHINS SPACE DOLPHINS SPACE DOLPHINS

Damn it, how tf did Taika Waititi find out about my secret "holding hands over a hot lava pool" fetish

I'm actually really digging the main conflict of this movie being about finding a balance between religious faith and science. I don't think this is a topic Marvel has dealt with in such a big way before.

So Thor is a walking Rubiks cube now? *shrugs* I'm cool with it

The normal moviegoer in me really wants to enjoy watching an army of superpowered children fighting with Thor, but the education major in me can't get past the fact that it's literally child abuse

Jane turning slowly to face Mjolinir in her hospital bed was the sexiest moment in this whole film

So, was Eternity supposed to look like a cheap laptop sticker you'd buy at a yoga studio, or did the special effects team just blow their entire budget before they got around to that scene?

Is that lady with Axel supposed to be Heimdall's wife? Did he have a wife this whole time? Wasn't he always on constant vigil? When would he have taken the time off to have a wife and baby?

DAD!THOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't quite understand how Gorr's daughter came back? He exchanged his life for hers somehow? How is she "born from the powers of Eternity?"

Okay, but when it the little girl going to meet Uncle Loki, because PUH LEASE.

That whole movie and I didn't realize Zeus was played by Russell Crowe until the credits. Not sure if that's a compliment to Crowe's acting or an insult to my intelligence

Omg Hercules is Roy from Tad Lasso (and yes, I did recognize him from his chest hair before his face) This is too good.
