If I could make a minecraft mod I'd make one called "hold on!" Where when you open the inventory on single player you pause the game, like when you press escape.
I think this would help slower players (me) reorganise their inventory while in high stress situations, allowing for a slower approach to gameplay and a chance to cool down and strategise
#minecraft#mineblr#if someone did make this that would be. very useful#i dont know how ;w;#but tbh i think it could also be considered an assessibility feature#like yeah the options screen exists but that pulls you out of the game#you cant DO anything except bear your teeth and wait until u feel ready to continue#like just now i was in a fight with mobs and thought 'i should get my bow' but i knew that#with my bad reflexes and gameplay I wouldnt be able to REACH my bow slot in my keyboard on mouse in time#i survived but i did feel a bit limited

HI IT'S EAVESDROP ANON YOU GAVE ME AN IDEA what if izutsumi and reader faced the succubi together, and izu sees that one of reader's succubi looks like chilchuck !! maybe she promises to keep it a secret, but also talks to reader about it? bonus points if izu and reader have a sort of unspoken mother/daughter relationship :')
to the grave
âŠft! chilchuck x fem! reader, izutsumi & reader
âŠtags! headcanon format, slight suggestive points, motherly reader
âŠwc! 623
âŠnotes! give it up for One Whole Request Complete omfg. sorry for how short it is eavesdrop anon itâs been a rough few weeks for me 𫶠this is absolutely not my best work, but i did what i could!
âCome on⊠I know you always thought about how Iâd look underneath you.â
Hearing the words come from his mouth renders you still. Itâs his face, his voice, yet completely wrong.
You had thought he had somehow recovered and came back to help you, but of course it isnât as easy as it appeared.
Youâre lucky to have Izutsumi with you. If it werenât for her pushing you out of the way to claw at the succubus, you probably would have dropped all pretence and leaned down to where you had Chilchuck â or the succubus, rather â pinned to the floor to kiss.
Still, you canât miss the look of absolute disbelief she gives you.
Silence fills the air as the succubus is reduced to nothing more than slob on the floor. You refuse to look at what, to you, is eerily similar to Chilchuckâs visage. Disturbingly so. For just a second, you consider reaching out to it (him?) again. However, Izutsumi is quick to swat you away. âHey, we have a mob incoming,â she tells you. You are about to retort, interrogating if she even felt remorse for hurting someone that looks like your ally, but Izutsumiâs quick to interrupt. âWeâll discuss this later.â She leaves your side. Preparing your weapon with a deep breath, you prepare to fight off the waves of succubi ahead.
Itâs only when you and Izutsumi assemble all the bodies of your allies does she finally speak up.
She really isnât interested in the âhot gossipâ like Marcille would be. In her own rough way, Izutsumi is more just expressing worry for you.
She doesnât overall react to the fact itâs Chilchuck that you saw. It was just sort of an âOh!â before she remembered that this succubus will steal your life force.
âSo, you just wanted to protect me?â At your conclusion, Izutsumi growls. She faces away from you as she drags over a succubus to drain into Senshiâs pot. âWhen you put it like that,â she grumbles, âit makes it sound all virtuous and sappy.â You laugh, reaching over to pat Izutsumiâs head. âI appreciate it very much, thank you Izutsumi.â Maybe itâs the fact she just had to confront this âmotherâ the succubi took the form of, but the cat girl feels at ease when you show affection to her. She sighs, giving up on the argument quicker than she normally would.
That is to say⊠she wouldnât not tease you.
Sheâd hand you some of the milk, poured into a bowl. âHere, for Chilchuck.â
Your face contorts in confusion. âWhy me?â
âSo you can get all close and intimate and stuff.â
âIzutsumi.â
She wants to support you both! She just⊠doesnât really care.
The party has woken up, and by now Marcille has spoken up, âwhat were your succubi like? Laios? Oh, what about yours?â She turns to you, her green eyes glimmering with curiosity. Cheeks and tip of her ears flushed, itâs hard to miss what exactly sheâs on about. You sheepishly laugh anyway, your mind recalling the lowered eyelids, the words spoken to you by the succubus. âI donât know if IâŠâ âHey, donât pressure her to say things like that.â Chilchuckâs voice cuts through the air, and makes you jump. Heâs at your side, shooing Marcille away. âThat stuffâs usually private for a reason. If she wants to say, she will.â It doesnât go unnoticed how Chilchuck doesnât say a word when Marcille instead asks Laios for details on his succubus, though. Though you should be glad Izutsumi isnât awake to see this. If she was, sheâd be rolling her eyes and bemoaning how nauseating the pining was to herself. So, maybe taking things to the grave is for the better.

https://www.tumblr.com/batboyblog/763234650399424512/the-recent-chappell-roan-thing-is-why-i-absolutely
I frankly also get the impression that a lot of these people genuinely think another Trump term will just be âbusiness as usualâ or âitâll only hurt the people who deserve to sufferâ and that theyâll just be able to hide away from the consequences for four years before someone comes along and fixes the mess for them and they get to benefit.
I donât think they have any realization of just how bad this is gonna get the second time around, because the first time Trump was metaphorically behind a chained fence and held back by strong rope. This time heâs being let loose alongside his fascist theocratic friends.
I've puzzled about this for some time, because like do people honestly not remember what it was like? what those 4 years were like? the fear, the chaos, the national embarrassment. Every day waking up and going "oh god! what did he DO! while I was asleep!" and how often you'd wake up to some story that he'd tweeted something scary and dangerous at 4am. I believe him threatening to nuke North Korea (the "Fire and Fury" tweet) was one of those very early AM specials that we all woke up to.
I mean for people like Chappell, its hard to remember, but Trump has been the more or less national main character for 9 years, since the fall of 2015. I mean an 18 year old first time voter could have been 8 years old when Trump came down the gold escalators told us all that Mexicans were rapists and he was running for President. So for anyone under 30, Trump is normal since every election they've been able to vote in, he's been the Republican nominee. I've spent 9 years of my life, across 5 elections fighting Trump directly or indirectly. Depressing thought that.
but past that there's been a national effort to gaslight us all into thinking "yeah no it was normal" I mean I remember the media coverage of 2017, the first year or so of Trump's Presidency, every few weeks or so there'd be some "is it time for the 25th amendment now?" story about if Trump's weird behavior this time for his cabinet to step it and remove him. (A quick google turned up CNN Oct 2017, New York Times May 2017, The Guardian July 2017, and Vox February 2017) compare that to coverage today? The term "Sane-washing" has been coined where when Trump says something bonkers it gets characterized as "sometimes meandering" rather than "incomprehensible" and "worrying"
figures in the media have gone so far as to claim there's just no point to covering new Trump scandals because "they won't move the needle" which really should not be a journalist standard. And we see that they do, take North Carolina's Mark Robinson. Caught in a massive scandal, involving sex, porn, and being a Nazi, he's now down massively in the polls after nation wide coverage. Trump just had new court documents opened that showed he wanted a riot on January 6th, that his reaction to a mob threatening the life of his Vice-President was "so what?" and they he knew full well that he had lost but was going to "fight like hell" any ways. And its not much of a story, indeed I'm seeing more news about a NY Republican Congress having worn black face (new story today) than Trump's effort to over throw the government and kill Mike Pence.
past the media's gaslighting of course there's been a major and on-going campaign to effect how we see reality. I know that sounds very woo-woo, but to step back for second, most of what we know about the world is stuff people tell us, so you know Joe Biden is the President because other people have said so, most likely you've never met him or even seen him in person. Well as more and more people turn away from traditional media, and traditional media turns more and more to making of money by confirming the bias of people, it becomes easier and easier to slip things that are not real into "facts we are told". So for example "Joe Biden is President, and also in decline" there's never been any real evidence of that, but if on social media you are bombarded with it 4,000 times a day... you start to take it as understood wisdom.
people are also getting worse and worse at not just taking what they're told if it confirms biases they already have. Former Vice-President Al Gore wrote a book nearly 20 years ago now, called "The Assault on Reason" which had a ton of very interest neuroscience about the ways that moving images, TV he was talking about, by-pass the logic centers of the mind, the way we relate and trust someone talking to us in a way the written word does not. I can't help but reflect on that with the rise of TikTok and short form video as a "source of information" (lol)
any ways this is a long winded way of saying bad faith players, Republicans, left wing grifters, and agents of chaos, have been very good at flooding the zone all through the Biden Presidency with stuff "student loan debt" remember when that was SO! important SO big and Biden "not doing anything" (untrue) was the biggest deal? well yesterday his newest plan got unlocked in court and 3 out of every 4 people with loan debt will get relief.... oh you're just now hearing about that from me? huh... funny... I thought it was the number one issue and reason we should never trust Biden and the Democrats... weird....
but there have been other issues pushed up as THE! issue, its all misdirection, its all meant to get natural Democratic voters to feel frustrated, upset, and hopeless, and not to vote their interest. The world is a big complex multi moving machine, and anyone telling you that one issue either fixes every other issue or totally totally outweighs everything else and should for everyone, is most likely BSing you and doesn't have your best interests at heart.
and lets be clear, Trump is a Rapist he's a lot of things, traitor, racist, scumbag, criminal, scab, tax cheat, fraud, etc but for me any ways, I'm not gonna vote for a rapist to be President and if other people aren't gonna do everything they can to stop a rapist from being the President I don't want to hear how much they care about progressive issues.

you should watch alien stage đ itâs a really wholesome and heartwarming web series on YouTube by VIVINOS. Nothing bad happens! And I think that you would like it!
So before I checked out Alien Stage, I asked an irl about it to get a feel for the series. They jokingly described Alien Stage to me as "Hunger Games with doomed yuri and yaoi plus some toxic het on the side", and after catching up with the playlist of hits... yeah, that's pretty accurate. I'm so invested in this now đ€Ą
I have Ruler of My Heart stuck in my head, specifically this English cover of it! To probably no one's surprise, I'm really gravitating to Luka... WHAT CAN I SAY, I LOVE ANGELIC LOOKING CHARACTERS WITH PRINCELY AND CHARISMATIC PERSONAS THAT ARE ACTUALLY SO MANIPULATIVE AND SCUMMY. AFSLFAYOEFIYFAEEAF; AND HOW CAN I NOT ADORE A GUY THAT PULLS THSI KINDA FACE:
I think part of his charm is that contrast between how he's seen as a "prince" by his fans when he's anything but. The artists outdid themselves with the MV; it perfectly conveys how truly terrible Luka is. I was so uncomfortable watching the video play out. The way he progressively creeps closer and keeps invading Mizi's personal space, taunting her, imitating her dead bestie/crush, putting his hands all over her, AND THAT GROSS WHISTLE HE DOES IN THE BEGINNING???? That made my skin CRAWL. Luka is for real so awful and I love that for him-- MIZI WAS RIGHT TO SWING AT HIM, IT WAS CATHARTIC đ
I wanna give big props to Mizi's facial expressions too... They're so despair-filled and delicious, even when it's just her widened eyes repeating on the screen. The animation specifically for the line "I don't believe you're a liar" is top tier đ It's nothing fancy, but it conveys just how distressed Mizi is and how that's impacting her ability to sing. The way she gulps is so punchy and visceral. THE HATE IN MIZI'S EYES AS SHE'S RESTRAINED FROM COMING AT HIM AGAIN???? Good stuff. The twist at the end where the stage gets smoke bombed (?) and Mizi is rescued by the rebellion was great too. It robs Luka of the satisfaction of seeing his rival gunned down and him being declared as the victor. (P.S. I thought Hyuna was Jamil when I first saw her design; this is proof that Jamil has cool onee-san energy/j) Super looking forward to seeing Luka square off against Till, who is another favorite of mine. The eyebagsâ Till the End is probably my second favorite song so far; it's so intense in the close-up shots of Till singing his heart out to the audience. (Poor Mob-kun though, bro's getting DESTROYED out here...) I admire Till's fighting spirit but at the same time I feel so bad every time he's subdued đŠ Whereas I want Luka to get knocked down a peg, I want Till to find happiness and safety...
qweliboqeuvqied Anyway, that's my current brain rot đ

Too Good To Say Goodbye pt3
Logan Sargeant x Fem!Reader, Lando Norris x Fem!Reader
warnings: cursing, more shit talking
part 1 I part 2 I part 3 I part 4 I part 5 I part 6 I part 7 I part 8 I part 9 I part 10
F1 Masterlist
Follow my instagram account (THATS STRICTLY FOR THIS BLOG) for updates on when i post and fun stuff like that!
instagram
âIâm sorry mate, WHO SAID THAT?!â all sense of calmness decimated from Landoâs demeanor.
Everyoneâs gaze bouncing between Lando, Logan, Zak and Me. The only thought in my mind throughout this whole altercation âWhere did Zak get that I wanted Logan backâ
Zakâs face went pale as he obviously wasnât expecting to be outed like this. âN-no that-thatâs not wuh-what I- We just had a conversation about their daughter and sheâ
The glare of Landoâs face was enough for Zak to stop talking. Zak knew he was in the wrong for butting into something that had nothing to do with him.
âYou have NO RIGHT to talk to my girlfriend about how she lives her life! We're happy and that's all you should care about!" Lando should've known better than to yell at his CEO but Zak was way past overstepping a boundary and Lando was having none of it. "C'mon mate! I won't my first grand prix, I'm supposed to be out here celebrating with my lovely girlfriend and the rest of you guys and YOU'RE RUINING IT ZAK!"
The whole bar now is paying attention to the incident happening. People are whipping out their phones to record the whole thing, some even try to crowd around us hoping to provoke a fight between the two.
"DAMN BRO, YOU GON LET A BRIT TAKE YO PREGNANT GIRL? I WOULDN'T TAKE THAT SHIT IF I WAS YOU" some random dude yelled, phone in hand recording with the flash on further aggravating Lando
"Mate, this has nothing to do with you so just walk away." Lando said smacking the phone out of the random dude's hand, which then prompted him to start swinging in Lando's direction.
The guy was fairly tipsy so instead of any of the punches he's thrown landing on Lando, the guy lost his footing resulting none of his punches landing on me and THAT prompted Lando to start throwing hands with him too.
A crowd quickly formed around us, everyone was so busy trying to get the best angle for this bar fight laid out in front of them that none of them realized that they were literally trapping a just about 8 1/2 month pregnant woman in a sea of people.
The grid was too busy trying to pull Lando off the guy but once one guy got hit they started swinging until another one of the drunk guys friends jumped in and then it became a big mob mess. Some of the WAGS that were there retreated out of the bar, before realizing that a very much pregnant Y/N was not with them.
"GUYS! WHERE'S Y/N??" Alex shouted looking around hoping she just missed her and that she was out here safe and not in the middle of a literal bar fight.
After no one seemed to have an eye on Y/N, Alex peaked inside the window of the bar in hopes of finding Y/N before she gets trampled. No more than 15 seconds of peaking through the glass, Alex spots Y/N and the big crowd of drunken men fighting around her.
Back on the inside of the bar, I'm surrounded by men throwing punches and I'm trying so hard to not get hit again. I feel a hand pulling on my arm which prompt me to whip my head to see who it is.
"C'mon Y/N/N, you're gonna get hit again, it's not safe. Not for you and our daughter." I turn and see Logan attempting to shield me with his body as he yanks me up and protects me as he's guiding me to a safer part of the bar, pulling out a stool so I could sit down and he could evaluate whether or not I had an injury. Before I could even sit down on the stool, I feel a gush of wetness between my legs.
My eyes widen in horror as I look down at the mess Iâve just made as a contraction hits me âOH MY GODDD. NOT NOWWWWWâ I hurl over in pain as Logan places both of his arms around me to steady me.
âOkay pretty girl, we have to get you to the hospital. letâs go, nice slow stepsâ Logan says as he rubs the small of my back, before looking back at Lando still mid fight.
Alex, who was watching my every movement like a hawk, quickly opens the bar door âOMG YOUR WATER BROKE? GET IN MY CARâ Alex and Logan both guided me into the âLILY, GO GET LANDO AND MEET US AT THIS HOSPITALâ
I was sat in the back seat with Logan as he was helping me breathe through my contractions and letting me squeeze his hand when the pain became too much.
-
Iâve been in active labor for 2 hours which means with every contraction I think âthis is it. babygirl is coming right nowâ and each time itâs a false alarm. Something about this contraction felt different, Logan could sense it too given that the way I squeezed his hand for this contraction was very much different from the ones prior.
Although this is my second time giving birth, this one felt so much more different then when I was giving birth to my son. After an excruciatingly long 2 minutes of this contraction I heard the door burst open and in runs a sweaty, bruised/cut open nose Lando with the facial expressions reading âplease donât tell me you had her alreadyâ
âI didnât have her, donât you worry. I wouldâve kiAHHHHHHHH LOGAN SHES COMING. SOMEONE GET THE NURSE, I CAN FEEL HER COMINGâ in one swift motion Logan helps me sit up and breathe through this contraction while Lando yells for a L&D (labor & delivery) nurse.
âHi honey, she shouldnât be coming yet but letâs see how dial- OH MY GOSH HALF HER BODY IS O-â the poor nurse tried to be so calm and nice about this but when she lifted up the blanket she was met with my baby halfway out of my body and in one last push, mine and Loganâs daughter was born.
The sound of a silence filled room which triggered me, reminding me too much of the scene I had to endure 2 years ago but before I could scream and question what was wrong with my daughter, a beautiful cry ended up filling a once silent room.
Exhaustion hit me in waves and I plopped back to rest, closing my eyes before I feel lips on my forehead.
âThank you so much for bringing my babygirl into this world. Youâre so strong. I love you so much.â Logan murmurs against my temple which causes Lando to get very upset but given the circumstances, he lets it slide.
âOkay mom, hereâs your little precious bundle of joyâ my nurse, Kinley whispers as she hands me my baby.
One look at her and you can tell sheâs Loganâs daughter, sheâs a spitting image of her dad. Blonde hair, green eyes, she even has light freckles.
âWhat do you want to name her Logan?â I whisper, almost afraid that if I speak any louder that thisâll all fade and Iâd be that once empty, soulless mess I was.
âYelena Ivy Sargeantâ I canât believe that Logan remembered the name I had chosen when I thought our first pregnancy was a girl, Iâd only mentioned the name twice before we found out he was a boy
âyou rememberedâ a sigh escapes my lips as I look intensely in his eyes
âI never forgot, that name made you so happy.â one of Loganâs hands found a place on my cheek before silently asking for permission to hold his daughter, which I gracefully handed her over.
âWhat do you think about her name Lando?â I ask as I turn my head to my boyfriend whoâs stood on the opposite side of bed than Logan is.
âI have no say because thatâs yours and Loganâs decision but for what itâs worth, I think itâs a beautiful nameâ Landoâs lips find a place on my temple while a hand strokes my hair âhey iâm gonna step outside and let them know that little miss Yelena Ivy is now apart of the familyâ lando places one more quick kiss on my forehead before grabbing one of my hands, kissing it too and leaving.
After Lando left, the room fell in a comfortable silence. Just Logan, Yelena and Me enjoying each otherâs company.
âsheâs so beautifulâ Logan whispers as he plants a small, delicate kiss on the top of her head
âshe looks just like youâ I smile, the first genuine smile Iâve given Logan in lord knows how many months and he smiles right back at me before gently bouncing Yelena as she coos.
As I looked in Loganâs eyes when he smiled back at me before he turned his attention back to our baby, something felt different.
I wish I could capture this moment in time right here, where everything felt so right, so normal. Nothing could ruin this moment, not when I felt like I had it all. A well paying job, my daughter, a man who loved both of us unconditionally, and for a moment i did have it all except for the fact that Logan and I werenât together anymore and that one fact did ruin the moment.
When Logan handed Yelena back to me, he whispered âYouâve given me the greatest gift anyone couldâve ever given me and I will spend eternity trying to right my wrongs and win you back, even if itâs not relationship wise, I canât have my daughters mother, the love of my life mad at me foreverâ tears welled up in my eyes as one thought crossed my mind when he mentioned âthe love of my lifeâ
why did my heart just flutter?
HOPE YOU ENJOYED <3333333

hello! can you recommend some feel-good and no drama vibes BL series? đ been a stressful month, badly need a relaxing series đ« thankyouu!
Hello beautiful Anon đč
It is a pleasure for me to recommend you some feel-good series! It is not that easy to find series without drama, because people think a series without drama is not a good series, but sometimes we all need this swoony, relaxing series to calm our system and to let us believe in life and love again.
I tried to keep the drama level as low as possible, but most of them have a little bit of drama at some point, just to keep the story going.
My main criteria were personal experience and feelings while watching and rewatching those series and how many trigger-warnings there should be (like violence, prosperity, cheating, mobbing, etc.) - in the best case, there should be none and how heavy the topic is. For example: I absolutely adore the series "The Day I Loved You". It is such a beautiful, wholesome series, but the topic is so heavy, it wouldn't fit here.
The only order this will have is by country.
Thailand
Well let's get started with one of the most unproblematic and innocent, happy series out there:
My School President
Tinn likes Gun. Gun is a little rascal and the singer of the school's band Chinzhilla. Tinn is the school president and son of the principle. Chinzhilla needs to build up their reputation and win this year's Hot Wave Music Contest to make sure the band will still be around next year and to be able to date. And now it's Tinn's time to shine and help Gun reach this goal. It is such an unproblematic, fun and sweet watch.
Cherry Magic Thailand
Karan is the model employee. He is everything Achi wants to be. Achi's confidence is weak and the things he does, he doesn't see them as valuable or important. But somehow he is exactly what Karan wants, because he is kind and attentive. A story about self-acceptance, loving yourself and seeing your valuable traits through the eyes of someone else. And hearing other people's thoughts might help as well. I love the story and yes, Japan's version is gem, but I really like the thai one and TayNew did such a good job, imo.
We Are
People said nothing is happening here. But that is not true. The story might not be drama-driven, but that is exactly what I sometimes want. I want to watch friend groups coming together, sharing secrets with each other and fall in love. I want to see this daily life. The story is wholesome and cute and perfect for a rainy sunday to warm up your heart.
Ingredients
This miniseries is a slow burn between two roommates, one loves cooking and the other one music. And they are just the sweetest. I watched this while I was sick and it made my life so much warmer and less tiring and annoying. Jeff and Gameplay did such a good job in portraying these two characters.
Bonus:
Every You, Every Me
This series is not completed and is airing every sunday. There are only two episodes out and I am completely in love with them and the concept of this series. Every week we see those two fall in love again in different timelines. The story about soulmates and the fate to be together in every universe. My romantic heart can't deal with it! It is exactly what I need after a stressful week.
Taiwan
Well Taiwan is more known for heavier themes and emotional series with a lot of trauma included, but there are some lighthearted series too.
Be Loved In House: I Do
I have no clue how many times I watched this series. Is it that good? Well, for me it is one of the most comforting series out there. For others? Not necessarily. The conflict is a little bit dumb, but it is so good to watch these two to slowly overcome their differences and getting all soft with each other. It is just a sweet series where you don't have to think too much about.
History 2: Crossing The Line
The story of a young troublemaker who likes to pick fights and the manager of the school's volleyball-team, who can't play volleyball anymore because of an accident. I mean, I love volleyball and bl, so this is the perfect combination for me. It is funny and somehow emotional and so good to witness the troublemaker finally having something worth to put his energy in.
South Korea
I absolutely love korean bls. They are my favorite, but most of them come with huge baggage and trauma for the main characters. As much as I love them, I wouldn't call them easy watches to relax. But there are a few I want to mention here.
Our Dating Sim
A second-chance love story. They meet again after being separated for years and finally are able to talk to each other about everything that stands between them. And yes, there is some light trauma, but it fits the story very well and isn't that traumatic for the viewer, imo. As a given for korean bls, it is a short watch and perfect to binge after a tough day.
Roommates of Poongduck 304
A fun and short watch about a rich kid who has to work for the first time in his live to understand the value of money and work and his new landlord who is also his subordinate at work. These two need to work together in every parts of their lifes and it is just so good to watch them getting closer. And don't get me started on their chemistry! If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and watch the behind the scenes!
Sing My Crush
Han Baram wants to become a professional musician. He has the talent and the will to achieve it, but most of all he has Im Hantae, his biggest fan and supporter and his best friend. While Baram already knows what he wants, Hantae needs to figure it out in the cutest way. This series just feels so good! It is one of my favorite bls ever. And the music is good too!
Japan
Japan is the king or queen for cosy and wholesome bls! There are so many, I can't list all of them. I really enjoy diving into this yellowish warm world.
I Cannot Reach You aka Kimi ni wa Todokanai
While Yamato has to deal with his popularity with the girls and being in love with his best friend Kakeru, Kakeru really wants to be as cool as his schoolmates and wants to get a girlfriend too, just to notice, that his heart obviously wants something or someone else. This is such a sweet series. It is wholesome and so freaking soft! And the soundtrack is soooooooooooo good!
Takara's Treasure aka Takara No Vidro
Takara once helped Taichin and with that he influenced his life deeply. In the beginning I didn't understand this series and the actions the characters took, but with every episode this little series grew more and more on me. Both of them are searching for something in their lifes and find it in each other. They are the perfect match and watching their connection deepen will comfort your heart.
If It's With You aka Kimi To Nara Koi Wo Shite Mite Mo
I think this series is highly underrated and didn't get the recognition it deserves. The main character Amane is gay and doesn't keep it a secret. He has made some bad experience in the past and doesn't believe in love anymore. Until he meets his schoolmate Ryuji, a kind and hardworking young man, who is so open and accepting that Amane is not able to not fall in love with him. This is such a beautiful series. Highly recommended.
Our Dining Table aka Bokura no Shokutaku
This is an absolutely wholesome series about found family and food. Be aware watching this might make you very hungry! Tane, the younger brother, is such a sweet child and the best wingman. The drama in this series is not the prominent aspect of it, but the healing from it through love in all kinds and forms, acceptance and finding a place for yourself in this cold world is. And after watching this you feel loved and warm and hungry.
Old Fashion Cupcake
A well played age-gap? Finding joy in life? Food? Living your life in the best way possible? Check, check, check and check. This series means so much to me. Meet Nozue, almost 40 without any real joy in life, because he thinks he is too old for it and Togawa, ten years younger, attractive and obsessed with the idea to make Nozue enjoy his life again. And that with eating together. I love this series so much! It is so good!

Fandom: Marvel (Mob Boss AU)
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x F!Reader
Summary: You and Bucky used to be so in love and so⊠ignorant of the roles you had to play, which lead to you breaking up. But that didnât seem to keep you away from each other since you now act as Buckyâs nurse whenever he gets hurt. Based off my mini fic here.
Warnings: depictions of violence
Stitched Together | Pull the Thread | Bucky Barnes Masterlist
He'd won. He came out broken, bloody, and bruised, but he won. At just eighteen years old, technically a man, but still a boy at heart, James Buchanan Barnes was thrown into a cage fight to prove to his father that he can be strong enough to take over the family business.
He came out of that fight looking at his father and a shine of love and pride reflected back at him.
This was Bucky's new reality. Life filled with pain, bloodshed, and darkness. He couldn't bring you into it, especially when his dad said Bucky could use you to get info on what your dad and the department knows about the business. No. He can't use you like that.
He couldn't bring himself to break up with you either so he played the part that everyone expected of him. He became cold and callous, which lead to you breaking up with him. He told himself it was for the best and it was to protect you from his new reality. He loved you and always will, even when he grew up to be someone most thought incapable of love.
___________________________
Bucky: can we swing by? two of our guys got shot.
You read over Bucky's text and you sigh. You pause your favorite rom-com movie and kick off the blanket you had draped over you.
As you head to your bathroom for your med kit, you text back:
You: yup. come on by.
Bucky: ETA is 15min
You: [thumbs up]
It'd been four months now of being a nurse for Bucky and his people. You've come to notice the ones who get hurt often, their bodies littered with various scars and stitches all over their bodies. Bucky, more often than not, came with them. It always surprised you because you figured he'd have other stuff to take care of, but, as he's mentioned to you once:
"These people are under my care. I wanna make sure they're taken care of."
Which made your heart swell a little bit and throw you back to how Bucky always felt protective of those he cared about.
You push your furniture towards the edges of the room and set up the cots for your incoming patients. You were tired of cleaning out the bloodstains on your couch cushions.
A knock at your door, you scurry to pull it open. Four guys trudge in. Two, dragging the other two inside.
Bucky comes in last with a shy smile, "Evening."
"Hey," you say with a nod, letting him in and then closing the door behind him.
"You doing okay?"
You nod, "Yeah. Wasn't doing much when you texted me. Just watching a movie."
"Rom com?" he asks you with a teasing smirk.
You roll your eyes at him in response, "Shut up."
"I wasn't saying anything!"
"You're judging me, Barnes! I know how you look when you're judging, so don't even deny it!" you poke his chest and turn on your heel to go attend to your patients.
___________________
Your patients had left your home, not wanting to take advantage of your generosity further despite your protests. That left you alone with Bucky. He was nursing a glass of whiskey and you a glass of wine while another movie played on the tv. He didn't leave with the rest of his guys. His excuse being that he wanted to finish the movie that you played while you worked on his men. A part of you hoped it was because he wanted to spend some alone time with you. Then you mentally scold yourself for hoping for such a thing.
You clear your throat when the movie ends, "So, you like rom-coms now, hm?"
He chuckles, placing his glass on your coffee table, "Just because I watched one rom-com, doesn't mean I like rom-coms."
You scoff, "I'll convert you, Barnes, just wait." You stand and grab his glass, "You want more?"
"Nah. I, uh, I should go."
You nod, "Right," you turn and head to the kitchen, placing the glasses into the sink.
Bucky follows, placing a small stack of bills onto the counter, "Your pay."
"Thanks," you mumble, not turning around to face him.
There's some sort of tension in the air and Bucky doesn't know why. He wants to poke and see what happened, if he'd done something somehow. But he doesn't. Despite you two being in each other's lives again, albeit in a small capacity, he still feels insecure and unsure about where you two stand now. Because he is still head of a crime organization and you're still the daughter of the chief of police that's trying to bring him down. Your lives keep being woven together, but will it result in the same heartbreaking end?
Bucky hopes not. He's older now. His father is gone and he's more in control of his life now. Right?
"Get some rest, sweetheart," he murmurs before exiting your home.
_______________________________
You're called up to the reception desk during your shift. When you head to the first floor, you see your dad waiting for you.
"Everything okay?" you immediately ask with concern.
"Everything's good, Bug. Figured you'd wanna have lunch with me?" he holds up a paper bag, 'Stan's Diner' logo stamped on it.
You break out into a smile, "Let me just let my charge nurse know I'm going on lunch. I'll meet you in the cafeteria."
"Sounds good," your dad gives you a thumbs up and heads in the direction of the cafeteria.
You head back upstairs, letting the charge nurse, Sharon, of you going on lunch. You punch in your ID number to start your lunch and then go back to your dad.
When you reach the cafeteria, you snort. Your dad is already eating without you. You sit across from him, unwrapping the burger he set out for you, "Couldn't wait?"
He shrugs, "I was starving!" He takes another bite of his burger and then takes out the two cups of fries. He flattens the paper bag and pours all of the fries out. The setting is reminiscent of your childhood. Every Friday, after your dad picked you up from school, you two would go to Stan's Diner. You'd always order the same thing, and your dad always combined the fries in the middle for you both to share.
"Been a while since we had lunch together. You sure things are okay?" you ask him with a hint of skepticism.
After your dad washes his food down with a can of Diet Coke (he's trying to cut back on the sugar), he clears his throat, "Well, uh, I did want to mention something to you."
You fidget in your seat, hoping and praying that he didn't find out that you've been helping nurse Bucky and his people for the past few months.
"So some of my patrol guys mentioned they started seeing more of Barnes' guys around your neighborhood."
You look at him with fake surprise, "What? Really? I haven't seen anything or anyone suspicious, but then again, I'm hardly home and when I am, I'm usually asleep."
"So far, they haven't done anything to be concerned about. Just that they've been showing up around your side of town lately. I just wanted to see if you've seen or heard anything, but most importantly to be cautious and careful."
You gulp, "Do-Do you think Bucky would hurt me?"
He sighs, "Bug, I'm honestly not sure what to believe, but that man isn't the same kid you were friends with back then. He's different now, capable of dangerous things. I just want to you to be careful."
"I will be, dad. I still carry my knife and pepper spray you got me."
"Good. I was also thinking of sending more guys to watch your specific area."
You shake your head, " I'm sure there are other places that need your attention."
"Maybe, but maybe I'll just station one guy on your street to keep an eye on things."
"I'll be fine. Trust me-"
"I trust you just fine, Bug. It's Barnes, I don't trust."
He wipes his hands and mouth with his napkin, "I'm gonna use the bathroom real quick." You give him a nod and watch as he heads to the cafeteria's bathrooms.
Once he's out of sight, you immediately pull out your phone and bring up the text chain between you and Bucky.
You: you guys need to be more careful. dad just told me his patrol guys have been seeing your people around my neighborhood more. he's thinking about having a guy stationed on my street.
Bucky: fuck.
Bucky: thanks for telling me.
You: you're welcome. maybe tell everyone to do their best to not get shot or stabbed for the next few weeks.
Bucky: can't really guarantee that considering our line of work.
You: at least try!
Bucky: will do, sweetheart.
You: stay safe.
Bucky: same to you, sweetheart.
You slip your phone back into your pocket when your dad exits the bathroom. You continue to eat your lunch and chat with him, acting as if you just didn't tip off his biggest enemy.

P.O.V
Mafia!yandere OC x reader x mobboss
Summary: kidnapped by Silasâs rival, you're forced to see Silas's dark world from a point of view he never wanted you to witness
Warnings: yandere, kidnapping, gore, mentions of violation, mentions of nsfw?, violence, crime, manipulation, reader breaking, self guilt, angst, blackmail (let me know if i should add more)
Word count: 4.1k
âLet me go!â you shout as you struggle against the two men holding each of your arms in a painful grip.Â
âBe silentâ, one of them demands, âor Iâll cut your tongue off.â
Youâre pushed down on your knees on polished, wooden floor. Quickly, you look around in the room youâve been forced into. Is it an office? A living room? Just an hour ago, you were in the backseat of Silasâs car, waiting for him to finish a mission. You had been alone with two drivers who got shot before you could process it. It all went downhill from there.
A man walking from behind a desk catches your attention. He looks to be around Silasâs age with dark hair, dimples and piercing, blue eyes that makes you shrink.
âSo this is Silas little playmateâ, he smiles and grabs your chin to get a better look at you.Â
Your neck strains. The man snickers and touches your lip with his thumb, almost waiting for you to open your mouth. If he forces his thumb past your lips, youâre going to bite him. Hard. Thankfully, he doesnât. He crouches down in front of you and tilts his head.Â
âYouâre a pretty thing, arenât you?â he asks tauntingly and caresses your cheek.Â
You remember how terrified you were when you first came to Silas, how you barely dared to move. But now, after getting kidnapped a second time, you feel a bit bolder. Youâve already been put through hell and back, what more do you have to lose? You slap his hand away with a glare.Â
âFeisty tooâ, he chuckles. âYouâll regret that, bunny.â
âWhat do you want?â you spit out.Â
âI brought you here because your boyfriend hasnât done his part of our agreement and I am sick of waiting.â
âWhat agreement?âÂ
âJust a simple business thing. Not much to fuss about ⊠however, your boyfriend didnât give me what I asked for after I gave him what he wanted. So ⊠I took something he liked to trade for my part of the agreement. This time he has to fulfill his part.â
You take a deep breath. Silas will just have to come get you and then itâll all be over. Everything will be okay.Â
âBut ⊠Iâm in the mood to kid around a littleâ, the man says in amusement. âIâm tired of Silas seeing me as a joke ⊠send him one of his little playmateâs fingers.â
You flinch as your eyes widen. Quickly, you shoot up from the floor and you sprint towards the door in hopes of somehow saving yourself. The two men who dragged you in manage to grab you. You scream, kick and fight. On the leaderâs signal, they let you go.The force makes you fly into the brick wall, hitting your elbow and head in the process. Thereâs a burning pain you have no time to care for. You sink down on the floor, pressing your body close to the wall, body trembling. Fear has crept into your heart by now.Â
âI thought youâd be more braveâ, the leader says. âArenât you the partner of a mob boss? Havenât you already seen all the horrible stuff he does? Hasnât he done them to you? Or is he the type to hide it all from his sweet, little, innocent darling? Answer.â
âHe ⊠he doesnât showâ, you stutter and swallow air.Â
âWell, I am going to. I am going to ruin you for him. If he wants you all innocent and pure, Iâm going to make sure he gets a destroyed partner back. That will make him second guess trying to mess with me in the future.â
Youâre sure that your heart has sunken down to your stomach. If thereâs something youâve had to thank Silas for, itâs that heâs shielded you from all the horrible stuff he deals with.Â
âDonât look so scared, Iâm not going to kill youâ, the leader says as he moves closer. âYou will go back to Silas, you have my word. Iâm just going to roughen you up a little â show you a different side of the world youâre living in.â
You glare at him. The man drops his smile and walks back to his desk.Â
âIf you know whatâs best for you, youâll stay there like a passed out drunkâ, he mutters.Â
The men who dragged you in leave the room. You look around, but stay where you are. You have to get out somehow, have to escape.Â
Youâre not sure how much time pass, but when you no longer can feel your legs, the man stands up from his computer.
âWhatâs your name?â he asks. âSilas is a clever bastard, hiding your identity. And donât you even try lying, I will know.â
You donât answer.
âGive me your name or I will rip of your finger nails until I get letter for letterâ, he says lowly and crouches down in front of you. âDo you understand that, bunny?â
âY/N âŠâ
âAre you lying?â
You shake your head quickly. The man grabs your collar and lifts you up on your numb legs. You falter before finding your steps. He holds a knife to your throat.Â
âScared?â he asks.
âN-Noâ, you lie.Â
He scoffs with a smile and pulls you over to his desk. He stands behind you, trapping you between his muscular arms. Thereâs a video on his computer. The thumbnail is enough to make you sick. You can't tell that it is exactly, but there's blood and someone being tied to a chair.
"I don't want to", you gulp.
"You're going to watch every single video I show you, do you understand that?" the man whispers in your ear. "Or else I'm really going to cut one of your fingers off and send it to your boyfriend. I'm not kidding."
He reaches for the mouse.
"Please don't", you whisper weakly.
"Why? Are you afraid to see the truth of what your boyfriend is doing?"
"I-Is it Silas in the video?"
"No. He's not dumb enough to film his sessions, but I know for a fact that he does this kind of stuff too. Now, watch or I'll bring out the knife."
He presses play. The first thing you hear are echoes of sobs and moans. The entire screen is filled with a man missing limbs. Two masked men are torturing him far beyond what he can handle.
You clench your eyes shut and feel the man behind you grab a fistful of your hair before yanking your head back.
"I told you to watch, bitch", he says. "So watch."
He throws your head back. Whiplash is hitting you and you hold your hand over your throat. You continue to watch the video with tears running down your cheeks. The images burn into your brain. You won't be forgetting them any time soon.
"I must say, watching a video isn't the same as ⊠actually experiencing it, don't you agree?" the man smirks.
You feel sick.
"Just get Silas", you say harshly, raising your voice. "Get him so I can leave!"
"Not yet, my little bunny", the man says and holds his heavy hand on your shoulder. "I'm not done yet. I'm going to taint you like you've never been tainted before. Better yet, I'll break you."
All his words make you shiver. The man grabs your arm and pulls you up from the chair. He drags you out of the room, through a pair of corridors and down a flight of stairs. The place you've ended up in reminds you of Silasâs basement ⊠just much, much worse. People are playing games, drinking and doing drugs ⊠all in the same room others are torturing people. Is this a red room or a casino?
"Spend ten minutes down here and you'll never be the same", the man chuckles and pushes you towards the group of people.
You stand still, not knowing what to do. Your body is not reacting to any of the signals your brain is telling you. You can't remember the last time you've been so scared.
Silas, help me. Please come help me. Save me. I'm so scared.
You've never wanted him to come for you this badly before. Normally, you want him as far away as possible.
"What are you waiting for?" the man behind you asks. "Walk around. Take it all in."
You don't move. It doesn't take long before you feel a push harsh enough to make you fall forward. You hit your knees on the stone floor.
"Oh my, look at this little thing", a seductive female voice murmurs. "Already on their hands and knees? Too easy."
You're quick to sit back on your butt and glare at the woman who talked to you. She's sitting by the bar with a few other women and men, all looking dolled up in old, torn clothing.
"Look at that innocent sparkle in their teary eyes", another woman snickers.Â
"This is Silas sweetheart", the leader smiles from above you.Â
The group of people by the bar raises their eyebrows.
"Silas, hm?" a man asks and jumps off his tall stool. "This is a bit too perfect."
"He must be paissed that you took them", the first woman laughs. "I'd pay to watch his face right now."
You look around, seeing all kinds of horrors. People experiences the worst side effects from substances, people fighting, blood, torture ⊠it all belongs in a nightmare.
Silas, please âŠ
You start to sob even worse. If this is a nightmare, you want to wake up.
"Yes, that's it", the leader smirks.
He's quick to pull up his camera and film you sitting in a fetal position. The women who taunted you crawl over and put their grubby hands on you.
"Let me go!" you scream and fight them off. "Don't touch me!"
"See something you recognize, Silas?" you hear the man ask. "Y/N turn around and tell your dear boyfriend how badly you want him to save you."
You don't want to give into the man's disgraceful request. It's humiliating, but you're terrified. You want nothing more than for Silas to save you.
The women grab your face, turning it to the camera.
"Come on, Y/N âŠ", the leader says playfully. "Do it."
The women twist your arms and you scream.
"Stop it!" you scream in agony. "Silas, help me, please!"
The man chuckles and cuts off the video before sending it. It doesn't take long before his phone rings.
"Silas!" he says with a twisted smile.Â
"What the fuck have you done?!" Silas screams back.Â
"I wouldn't have to do this if you had fulfilled your end of the promise, Silas. I want my documents. And you're going to give them to me if you want Y/N back."
"You'll get your fucking papers. Tell me where and I'll be there now."
"Oh, not now. I'm too busy. How about tomorrow at five pm?"Â
"No, now."
"I'm not done with your darling yet. I have so much to show them."
"Show what? What are you doing?"
"If you're going to bring Y/N into this world, why not show them what you've dragged them into?"
Silence.Â
"You can't", Silas says. "You wouldn't fucking dare."
"Oh, but I've already started. Tomorrow at five pm, the old warehouse. Bring only two men and I'll do the same. No weapons, no tricks."
"Fine. But you'll pay for this, trust me."
The man chuckles and hangs up. He turns to you and bends down to lift you up in his arms.Â
"Tomorrow at five pm you'll be free", he says as he carries you out of the basement.
It's the third man he's beaten to death. Silasâshand is throbbing with pain and he doesn't know if the blood on it is his own or the poor men's â most likely both. He's not done yet. Everyone should feel his wrath. Even the devil must be afraid of Silas right now. He hasnât looked himself in the mirror and perhaps he shouldnât.Â
âBoss âŠâ, his right hand man says quietly, not raising his head to look at his boss. âItâs just a few hours ⊠please try to remain calm-â
âJust a few hours?â Silas scoffs and swipes everything on his desk down on the floor. âDo you know what can happen in âjust a few hoursâ?! Y/N could very well be dead when I get there!â
âI donât think theyâll kill them ⊠in that case they wonât get the documents. Heâs very persistent on getting the documents.â
He goes pale. âYeah, youâre right ⊠but ⊠Y/N ⊠they could violate them in any way ⊠and I wonât be able to stop it âŠâ
Silas sinks down on his knees. Every cell in his body lost their adrenaline, leaving him aching and hurting. He can feel his heart breaking in pieces, feel it bleeding into his lungs. Heâs terrified of the condition heâs going to find you in.Â
âBossâ, second in command tries again. His voice is gentle and sympathizing. âDonât think like that. Y/N is strong ⊠and smart. You know that.â
âBut I never pushed past Y/Nâs limits. They donât care about their well being, they wonât stop. Even if they scream, cry and beg ⊠they wonât care.â He leans his head against the wall. âI should never have left Y/N alone in the car âŠâ
âYou could never have known that theyâd break into it.â
âI knew I fucked up the second I saw the dead drivers. But it was too late ⊠how could I let those assholes take Y/N?â
âYou tried to shield them by letting them stay in the car. Otherwise theyâd have to see you kill someone.â
âSeems like theyâll have to watch that now anyway.â Silas clenches his bloody fists. âIâm going to kill that little insect for ever trying to mess with me. Iâm going to end him for touching my Y/N.â
The night have been filled with more than you've ever anticipated. That man made sure that you were going to see as much terror as you possibly could. From watching people get limbs cut off to burned and filled with acid. You could never have imagined someone melting ⊠or imagined the smell.
I just need to hold out. Hold out until it's over. Just a few hours.
The hours drag on by like snails. You're curled up in a corner of the office with the leader by the computer. Your body is trembling. The person you were yesterday feels so distant, so different.Â
"Very well, it's time to wrap up our little visit", the muscular man says. "And for you to return to Silas."
"What if he doesn't ⊠come to pick me up?" you whisper, mortified by your own words.
What if he doesn't want you anymore now that he knows that you won't be pure anymore? You'll know it all, you'll be tainted.
"Then I'll keep you", the mob boss answers with a grin. "I'll force you to watch everything until your fragile brain breaks. Can't wait to see you numb and unresponsive. Get up."
Slowly, you pull yourself up on your feet. You feel sick to your stomach, the images of the night's horror still visible in front of your eyes. They never had to touch you, they could break you nonetheless.
The man grabs your arm and pulls you with him, out of the room, out of the building. Youâre forced into the backseat of a gray car. You keep your head down the entirety of the bumpy ride. Youâre exhausted, hungry and broken. Even if Silas gets you, you wonât be the same. It wonât matter if he comes. Itâs too late.Â
Youâre pulled out of the car and forced into an old, abandoned warehouse.Â
âNow ⊠letâs waitâ, the man says and holds you still. âSilas will be here soon enough.â
Not even ten minutes later, you can hear the screeching of a sports carâs breaks. You look up, seeing Silas and two of his men walk into the warehouse. The sight of him makes you tear up. Youâre so relieved that he came to get you, but youâre so ashamed of what youâve become â what you let that horrible man do to you. Silas is wearing his suit and dark coat, hands buried in his pockets. You have never seen such a dark expression on his face before. His face twitches as he sees you and he clenches his jaw.Â
âLetâs make this quick before I kill you with my bare handsâ, Silas says coldly and gesticulates for his men to give him the documents. âGive me whatâs mine now.â
âThe papers firstâ, the man says calmly and takes a tighter, warning grip on your arm. âAfterwards Iâll return your sweetheart.â
Silas clenches his jaw and throws the folder carelessly on the ground. One of the men beside you takes the folder and the leader lets you go. Without hesitation, you run towards the man you earlier didnât want anything to do with. Silas opens his arms for you and you run right into them, crashing into his firm body. He wraps his arms around you, holding your head into his chest. You're not going to have to see anymore horror â he'll make sure of it. He lets you cry while stroking your back. Heavy sobs exit your shaking body, causing his heart to bleed thickly. You breathe in Silas familiar scent and cry even harder. He holds you firmly, mortified of having you slip away from him again. He wants to say something, wants to do so much worse than that man ever did to you, but he canât. He doesn't want to put you through even more pain, doesn't even want to let you go.Â
âI donât understand that angry look, Silasâ, the mob boss taunts him. âYou brought them into this world, you should have known this was inevitable. Actually, you should thank me. I did all the job for you, you didnt have to watch their breakdown.â
Keep calm.Â
Silas bites the insides of his cheeks to avoid saying something that can escalate the situation. He doesnât want to scare you any further. If he's going to beat him to death, it's going to be out of your sight.
âLet's leaveâ, he mutters lowly and puts his arm around your shoulders. âWeâre done here.â
Silas gives him one last glare before he pulls you with him out of the warehouse. He fights back every impulse to turn back and beat that pick senseless.
âTell me about what they did to youâ, he whispers to you. âDid they hurt you badly?â
You shake your head again without lifting your face out of his warm chest. He breathes out in relief. He had imagined the worst. What would he have done if they had given you forever physical damage?
âThey forced me to watch ⊠w-watch people get killedâ, you whisper, scared to even raise your voice an octave. âIn all different kind of ways ⊠it was horrible. I could never have imagined that people could do such things to each other âŠâ you hug yourself when your stomach growls. âI also didnât get to eat anything and every time I was about to wall asleep they hurt me to keep me stay awake ⊠I have bruises âŠâ
âThe bruises will heal, I promiseâ, he says comfortingly. âI will cover all the mirrors in the house, you wonât have to watch yourself if you donât want to.â
You sniffle. âThank you âŠâ
âOf course, baby.â
Silas is in pure disbelief over how someone can treat an angel like you this way. You had nothing to do with his work, you are completely innocent ⊠how could they do this to you? The mere thought makes him see red. The mob bossâs taunting words dance around in his brain like annoying mosquitos. It wasnât his fault, Silas tells himself, he didnât bring you into the world, he kept you out of it. He shielded you!
Your legs cave in once you reach the car. He helps you into the backseat and buckles you in, wiping a few tears on the way. Heâs about to crawl in after you, but he stops himself.Â
âKeep an eye on themâ, he demands the two men he brought with him. âI have to tell that son of a bitch one thing.â
âShould we come with you, boss?â one of the men asks.Â
âNo, keep an eye on Y/N. And I mean a really close eye. Iâll be fine. They donât have weapons.â
You break out in broken sobs and reach for him. âN-No, donât leave me!â you scream.Â
âIâll be back in a minute, babyâ, he says softly and kisses your cheek. âIf I donât tell that man my mind, Iâll regret it big time.â
Silas closes the car door and runs back to the warehouse. He storms over to the man and lunges his fist as hard as he possibly can towards his face. The other man stumbles and loses his balance. His men come towards Silas, but he manages to send them flying as well. He hopes that they hit their heads hard enough to never wake up again, but frankly he doesnât care. Itâs not them he wants to get at â itâs their horrible, disgusting leader. He continues to force his fist into the mob bossâs face until he no longer moves. Silas wants to kill him. Heâs going to kill him.
âYou should never have been so stupid to touch whatâs mineâ, Silas pants and stands up to reload his stamina.
He is filled with adrenaline and wonât stop until the mob boss is dead. He punches on and on and on again until heâs sure the man is dead. He spits at the manâs corpse and storms back to the car. Quickly, he removes his bloody coat and wipes his hands on it to not scare you any further. Silas hurries to get into the backseat and hold your trembling body in his hands.Â
âYouâre safe nowâ, he whispers in your ear. âDonât cry, Iâm here now and everything is going to be okay. Heâs not a threat anymore. You donât have to worry.â
You look at him with big, glossy, red eyes. How is anything going to be okay when you're no longer the person he fell in love with?
"I'm sorry", you sob.
"Sorry?" Silas asks in confusion and he feels his heart break all over again. How could you ever think such a thing? "Why are you sorry? You haven't done anything wrong, little thing, donât even say that. I should be apologizing for ever leaving you alone in the car. I should have trusted my gut and not have brought you on that stupid mission. The car has been upgraded, theyâll never manage to break in again. Not that I will ever leave you alone in it again âŠ"
He takes your hand and lifts it to his lips, kissing desperately. The guilt heâs feeling is greater than anything heâs ever felt before. Itâs a feel piercing through his heart.
âI hate to see you so upset ⊠tell me what I can do to make you betterâ, he pleads and cramps onto your hands. âI will give you anything you want, nothing is too much ⊠I could even allow you to meet your parents âŠâ
At the moment, all you want is to take a break until your brain works again.
âI just want to sleepâ, you sniffle and shake your head. âIâm so tired, I havenât slept at all âŠâ
In other words, you want to escape this living nightmare in hopes of finding it easier in dreamland. They kept you awake all night to force you to watch those horrible events and videos. If you werenât too mortified to be sleepy, theyâd push, kick or pull your hair hard enough to make you wide awake.Â
âOf courseâ, Silas answers quickly and positions himself right. âSleep on my shoulder, darling.â
You hesitate. You donât want to be unaware, what if something happens again? But ⊠youâre so tired âŠÂ
âNothing is going to happen to youâ, Silas reassures you as if he could read your mind. âIâm right here and Iâm not going anywhere, do you understand that?â
You nod carefully.
âIâll never let that happen to you againâ, Silas says firmly and kisses your forehead. âYou have nothing to be afraid of. Iâm right here by your side.â
âPromise?â
âI promise. Just rest, baby.â
You lean your head onto his shoulder and shut your eyes slowly. He holds his arm around your shoulders to keep you in place, even bringing his coat around you. Continuously, he kisses your forehead while fighting back tears. It grows like a ball in his throat, but he refuses to cry. You are safe and that bastard is dead, he tells himself.
Itâs all over ⊠but his rage is still burning inside his lungs. Heâs not done yet.

âPearl? Why are you in my house?âÂ
Pearl blinks up at Bdubs from where sheâs sandwiched between the wall and the waterstream, curled up on herself in the narrow space. âSomebody destroyed all the lights in my base and now itâs full of mobs,â she says bitterly.
âIt wasnât me!â Bdubs cries, raising his hands.
âWell, I didnât think it was you, but the way you just said thatâs making me thinkââ
âNo! Iâd never! I swear!â
â...I believe you,â she says after a moment, and Bdubs feels himself relax. âCan I stay with you tonight? I donât really feel likeâŠâ She gestures in the direction of her house.
Bdubs nods. âOh, sure, for sure,â he says. Then, âShould we invite Joel over? His house got blown up too.â
âAh, yeah, probably. Good idea, Bdubs.â She fumbles in her pocket for her communicator, eventually fishing it out. The screen is cracked. Her fingers shake as they tap against the glass.Â
âAre you okay there, Pearl? You look a littleâŠâ Bdubs forces his hands to tremble.Â
She glances up at him, face scrunching in confusion, before she lets out a small laugh. âJust the adrenaline, yâknow.â She grins. âIâm red. Itâs great.âÂ
âIf it was anyone else, Iâd think they were being sarcastic. But with you! With you, Iâm pretty sure youâre being serious!â
She giggles, hitting send on the message and shoving her communicator away. Bdubs doesnât feel his own buzz; it must have been a whisper. âYou know,â she says after a moment, âIâm a little surprised.â
Bdubs blinks. âSurprised about what?â
âThat thereâs still three of us.âÂ
He laughs. âYeah, Iâm a little surprised, too! I thought for sure Joel would die today. For sure.â
âDonât let him hear you say that.â
âOh, no, never. But between you and me⊠that guyâs kind of a loose canon!âÂ
She snorts. âThrowing stones from glass houses, there, Bdubs?â
âSurely I donât know what you mean.â
âMhm.â She pauses, eyes glancing down to where her fingers pick at a stray thread on her hoodie sleeve. âThatâs kinda what I mean, though. Joel doesnât live here, and youâre making friends with half the server, Iâm surprised Iâm not spending tonight alone.â
âPearlâŠâ
âWhat?â She snorts. âI know how these games go, Bdubs. People donât stay loyal. Not for long, anyway.â She glances up at him, eyes half obscured by her hair. âPeople like Joel, people like you? I know how this ends.â
And Bdubsâ
Well, he canât pretend he doesnât know what she means. Canât pretend he doesnât remember Impulse yelling as Bdubsâ arrow had found home in his throat. Canât pretend he doesnât remember Etho backing away when Bdubs had tried to get just a little too close. Canât pretend he didnât fight when he promised heâd run. Canât pretend he hadnât taken advantage of his broken home.Â
âŠHe canât pretend he doesnât remember telling Martyn about their plans, or planning to do harm to Etho. Canât pretend he doesnât cross his fingers behind his back every time he makes a promise, just in case.
But at the same time, he remembersâsearching for Cleo in a castle sheâd been too dead to return to, pushing Lizzie to her death for a life heâd never received, taking two hands in his own and vowing to face the end as four instead of two, for once, for once in his life, choosing three and being pulled apart because of itâ
Bdubs lets out a breath. âPearl, hey, no,â he says. âI told you, didnât I? Iâm your weapon.â He gets down to his knees, lowers his head before her, feels her gaze burn into the top of his head.
âBit late for that,â she says. âIâm my own weapon now, mate. Donât need you to attack for me anymore.â
âWell, noâbutââ He looks up at her. âPearl. Iâm yours. I promise.â
âRight. And youâre Martyn and Ethoâs too, huh? We can share.â
âIâm using Martyn!â he protests. âThatâsâthatâs all it isâIâm usinâ him because heâs the first red and he knows his stuff! And Ethoââ
âI donât mind about Etho,â Pearl interrupts. âLike I said, I know you guys have your little thing going on. I donât care about that.â
âI set a trap in his base,â Bdubs blurts.
Pearl blinks at him. âExcuse me?â
âI set a trap in his base. Tripwire hook.â He grins. âRight outside the bedroom. IâI think I got Grian, in the end? Butâcould have been Etho. I couldaâcouldâve been Etho.â He swallows.
âAnd youâd have been okay with that?â Pearl asks, smile gone from her face, expression suddenly very serious.
âIâafter I set it, I went up to them. Had a chat. Lied the whole time. I couldaâcoulda told him. I didnât.âÂ
âAnd youâre okay with that?â she stresses.
She sounds dubious. Bdubs canât blame her. He feels sick, swallowing back the bile thatâs building in his throat.
âIâPearl.â
âBdubs?â
âI learned my lesson, Pearl. I learnedâdonât put all your eggs in one basket! Becauseâbecause either they die, and then you get left alone, orâor it gets you killed, and you die. You gottaâI have two hands. I can be loyal to multiple people. But then I learnedâwhen you do that? People arenât loyal back. They donât trust you anymore. Nobody elseâŠâ He laughs. âI feel like Iâm the only one who can trust people like that anymore!â
âSoâŠâ She frowns. âSo youâre making friends with everyone so you donât get betrayed or left alone?â
âExactly.âÂ
âAnd you know none of us are gonna trust you for doing that.â
He swallows again. âYeah, I know.â
âAnd youâre doing it anyway?â
âWell, what elseâwhat else am I supposed to do? I canât⊠I canât go back, Pearl. Thatâs⊠I canât go back. You know how it is.â
ââŠYeah,â she says quietly. âIâmâI want you to win, Bdubs,â she says. âOut of everyoneâI want it to be you.â
âYeah?â
âYeah. So⊠You better not make me regret this.â
He blinks at her. âRegret what?â
She bows her head to him. âIâm your weapon,â she says, an echo of his earlier words. âAnd a bit more of a dangerous one at that.â Her smirk leaks back into her words as she glances up and winks at him. âSo use me well, alright, Bdubs? I want you to win this.â
Bdubsâ heart is in his throat. He swallows it back down. It burns.
âIâll do my best,â he promises.Â
The door slams open, startling them both out of their skin.
âHey guysâuh. What are you doing?â
âOh, forâJudas Priest, Joel, learn to knock!â
âYou invited me over! Or, Pearl didâhey Pearl.â
âHey,â Pearl says. âCome on in! Sleepover at Bdubsâ time.â
âI canât believe this is the last of our bases left standing. Itâs, like, the worst one.â
âHey!âÂ
âThereâs no space in here!â To punctuate his statement, Joel slumps down against one wall, kicking Bdubs in the ribs as he does so. Bdubs grunts. âSee?â
âItâs definitely not the most spaciousâŠâ Pearl acquiesces.
âAnyway. What were you guys doing before I came in?â
âSwearing loyalty,â Bdubs says.Â
âOh.â Joel blinks. âDo you need me to do that? Because Iâm a Mounder for life. Loyal to the end.â
Bdubs and Pearl glance at each other.
âSomehow I actually believe him,â Bdubs stage-whispers, and Joel squawks in offence as Pearl barks out a laugh.
âNo, I think youâre good,â she says. Leaning her head back against the wall, she says, âThis is probably our final night.â
The three of them are quiet for a moment.
âWell,â says Joel. âWe gotta make it to the end then, donât we?â
Heâs looking at Bdubs. Theyâre both looking at Bdubs.Â
Bdubs nods.
âMay the best Mounder win,â he says solemnly.
Joel grins.

Outside the Throne Room
RK-T glanced over at GD-S.
âSoâŠâ RK began.
âSsh!â GD replied, sharply. âKeep your mouth shut! You know the boss doesnât like us to, you know, appear human in any way.â
âBoss isnât here,â RK replied. âWell, heâs here, but heâs not here here. Heâs on the other side of that door.â
âHe could come out of that door at any time, you know that,â GD said. âWeâre supposed to be silent and intimidating. And red.â
âDude does like red,â RK mused.
He frowned, behind his mask. âThough⊠I actually wanted to ask. Why exactly do we exist?â
âWhat are you getting at, man?â GD replied. âWeâre⊠imperial guards. We guard⊠the Emperor. Literally our only job. Itâs in the description.â
âThatâs what Iâm getting at,â RK said. âWeâre imperial guards, and in there right now with the boss is a Jedi. Like⊠the first one thereâs been in decades.â
âNah, thereâs loads,â GD shrugged. âThere were like twenty thousand Jedi, youâd never catch all of them.â
âStill, you get my point, right?â RK asked. âVader goes in there with a Jedi, and the boss tells us to leave.â
GD shifted slightly, his force pike humming. âHeâs the boss,â he pointed out. âHis word is law. In fact I think his word is imperial dictat which is even more certain than a law, you know.â
âNot what Iâm getting at,â RK replied. âHe told us to leave. Literally. Thatâs the biggest threat possible, a rebel Jedi, and heâs told us to leave. And, whatâs more⊠youâve got to have thought about this yourself, but the boss is also⊠the boss. Most of the time he doesnât need bodyguards⊠itâs not like heâs going to need us to stop him from being beaten to death by a mob, he could just electrocute them all.â
âThat⊠is true,â GD admitted. âNow youâve got me wondering why we exist at all. Thanks.â
âSorry,â RK said. âI thought youâd have an answer.â
âWell, I donât,â GD said, a bit snippishly.
The two red-clad guards stood in silence for a long moment.
âMaybe I should check on him,â RK suggested, and flicked on his comlink.
Then, a few seconds later, flicked it firmly off again.
âWell?â GD asked.
âBoss told the Jedi to kill him,â RK reported. âThen I heard the sound of a lightsaber and the boss laughing. So⊠Iâm going to assume that any kind of, fighting noises or whatever, are his plan.â
GD sighed.
âIt would be so much easier to do our jobs if the boss told us about this sort of thing,â he said.
Another pause resulted, this one longer and more awkward.
âEver wonder if maybe our purpose is just eye candy?â RK suggested. âLooking good while the boss is doing something?â
âThatâs depressing,â GD muttered. âBut, yeah, that checks out.â
He looked at his force pike. âItâs not like these weapons are going to be much good for actual bodyguardingâŠâ
âThey can do the stun thing,â RK pointed out. âThere is that.â
âYeah, which is short ranged and really awkward,â GD answered. âI think Iâm coming around to your point of view. If we were supposed to be proper bodyguards weâd have blasters.â
Silence returned, curling around and around like a cat preparing to settle in for a nice nap.
â...seen any good movies lately?â RK asked, eventually.
âThis is doing great at maintaining the mystique,â GD groused.
âDo you see anyone to care?â RK replied. âMyself I actually thought the latest Starflare holodrama was good.â
âIsnât her husband Baron Fel?â GD said, then shook his head. âGreat, turns out my weakness is gossip.â
âIf itâll make you feel better, Iâll check in on the boss again,â RK offered, reaching up to flick on his comlink, then turned it off again. âYeah, heâs fine.â
âFine?â GD repeated. âIs that a proper report?â
âAll right, all right, I heard several seconds of someone screaming, then the boss said âand now, young Skywalker, you will die,ââ RK informed his coworker, copying the Emperorâs voice as best he could. âIs that enough of a report for you?â
âYeah, whatever,â GD said. âSounds like heâs having fun, at least⊠sounds like he might nearly be finished, though. So no time for gossip.â
âWhatever,â RK sighed.
Silence came back for the encore, and the two Red Guards stood either side of the door, defending someone who didnât need defending from the absolutely nothing that might threaten him.
Then the door hissed open, and Darth Vader came through.
So did the Jedi, supporting Vader on his shoulder, and RK and GD both stared.
â...um,â RK began. â...halt?â
âHeâs with me,â Vader replied, his voice strained.
âWhereâs the nearest shuttle bay?â the Jedi asked.
RK and GD both pointed, completely unsure what to do, and the Jedi and Vader hobbled off down the corridor.
âWonder what that was about,â GD said, eventually.
âAttention all decks!â a panicked voice said. âAttention all decks! Rebel fighters have entered the Death Star, theyâre headed for the reactor, we canât stop them!â
Two blank red masks gazed at one another for several seconds, then RK and GD bolted for the shuttle bay.

Eddieâs trying not to beg Steve to stay. Harringtonâs already gone above and beyond for him, he deserves a night to sleep in his own bed. But God, does it have to be now? No one will talk about it except to pat his hand and tell him with tight lipped smiles that thereâs nothing to worry about- legally the mob canât do anything. Eddieâs been declared innocent, a tragic victim of the copycat killer.
It doesnât change the fact that thereâs been a group of people standing vigil outside the hospital since he got there. It doesnât change the fact that the group has been growing in numbers until all of Hawkins seems to either be fleeing in desperation or taking up camp four floors below the room where Eddie lies unable to walk as far as the bathroom without help. It doesnât change the energy of the mob, steadily humming louder, faster, with the intensity of a hive about to swarm.
âShould have known heâd be hightailing it when trouble came,â Wayne tells him. Heâs furious on Eddieâs behalf that Steve would leave now, when the police protection detail has been declared no longer necessary. When the mob below is bigger than ever and angry enough that Eddie can feel it all the way up here.
âHe didnât want to go, he needs to sleep.â Eddie saw how badly Steve wanted to stay, how he was sweating and jaundiced and worse looking than he had since that first fight with the demobats. Steve needed to go home, deserved to go home. But part of Eddie, most of Eddie, wails inside for Steve not to leave him. Not tonight, please not tonight. Heâd tried not to let Steve see it, doubted how well his subterfuge had worked.
âI wish I could stay but I just canât, not tonight. Iâm so sorry. But I promise- Anything goes wrong Eds, Iâll be here. I have to go now but if anyone needs me, if you need me, Iâll be here, I swear it.â Heâd done a strange thing then, pressing Eddieâs hand to his brow before kissing the back of it like something out of one of the tales of courtly love Eddie had devoured as an Arthurian-legend obsessed kid. And then Steve was leaving. It was almost nightfall. He stopped in the doorway and looked back at Eddie, his face anguished.
True to form, Eddie rallied. âGo on, and donât worry about lilâ old me. Iâll be fine.â
The mob waits until just after midnight, then comes for him. They drag him from his bed, and Eddie has an insane thought apt to this insane situation that heâs glad he wore sweatpants under his hospital johnny so at least heâs not going to die bare-assed in front of the remaining population of Hawkins. Or maybe he jinxed himself by assuming the worst when he decided to wear them that night.
He sees the kids being held back by their parents, screaming for him as heâs hauled to the elevator, hopes desperately that Claudia and Karen and Sue and Charles will be strong enough to restrain them. The kids arenât babies anymore; theyâre tough and too used to fighting to protect their own. But this isnât a fight they can win and he prays that parent-adrenaline will be enough let them wrangle his stupid, brave friends away from his side. He couldnât keep Wayne away, theyâd shouted at each other, all terrified love, him trying to make Wayne go, until the moment the door broke down and he was being dragged, his uncleâs grip still white-knuckled on Eddieâs wrist hard enough to bruise.
Everyone is shouting, himself included. Heâs pleading his innocence, swearing he never hurt Chrissy. Until he sees the pyre and all the words evaporate inside him and heâs just screaming. Theyâre jeering at his tears, his terror. Calling him killer, devil-worshipper, Satan himself and worse. And then- something in the atmosphere shifts.
Eddie doesnât see why the mobâs screaming changes, heâs hypnotized by the pyre. Do I weigh more than a duck? He thinks. You canât burn me if I weigh more than a duck and then oh Iâm hysterical.
âGet away! Get away from it!â They sound higher pitched now, a note of vibrato in the clamor. The shift in his captorsâ tenor finally seeps in and Eddie looks around. The number of people buffeting him to a hideous end is shrinking, people peeling off and running. He can hear gunshots and then-
Snarling. Crunching sounds. Someone- something roaring into the night. Itâs just the men holding Eddie now, Carverâs crew mostly. Wayneâs run up beside them and they donât spare him a glance as he wrenches Eddie away from them. Thereâs a wolf. Massive, tawny, scarred, absolutely furious- lunging for them, slashing them with razor sharp claws until none of them are left standing. When the last of the mob is gone the wolf pads close and presses against Eddieâs side with a whine.
The kids come sprinting to him. âJesus Christ, Steve! Well now theyâre definitely going to think Eddieâs the lord of evil!â says Mike.
Eddie looks down at the wolf. He still feels like he might have a heart attack any minute, but the warm, soft fur is grounding. Steve Harrington looks up at him under the light of the full moon and wags his tail.

backstreet buildings.
A 'CITY OF LIGHTS' DRABBLE.
pairing: jeon jungkook x reader
warnings: smut (minors do not interact), wet humping, fighting (not physical, but they have a big argument), cheating (kinda, the first col drabble explains it better so it's better to read that first!), gangster squad au
masterlist + disclaimers.
note: our col!couple is back at it (like rabbits) again! there'll probably be another drabble or two after this to complete the au ^^
â previous: city of lights. | next: neon lights.
You thought it would be a one-time thing.
But one night of pleasure turned into several nights of passion. One night of secrecy turned into several nights of indulgence.
It's not far-fetched to say that this arrangement with Jungkook, like many other things in your life, is going out of your control.
But you aren't complaining.
âFuck!â
Jungkook says the word breathlessly, his hands on your waist as the both of you stand under the shower head. It's one of those rare morning-afters when you don't have to rush back home at dawn, so the both of you are making the most out of it.
âJungkook, mmm,â you moan, shifting your weight on your feet and arching your back to get a better angle. âWaitâ Just...â
His hands grip your ass to pull you flush against his body. Slowly but surely, he rocks back and forth, rubbing your pussy lips with the length of his dick, fucking you but not really fucking you at the same time.
"Don't worry,â Jungkook says, grunting when you cross your legs with his cock right between your puffy pussy lips, your juices making him glide deliciously back and forth. "Not inside, okay?" he tells you as you moan again, wiggling your hips to stimulate both of your pleasures.
âYouâre so pretty,â he groans. âAnd so wet, fuck.â
âAnd youâre so big," you whimper. âWant you inside me."
âI know, doll, but you're still sore from last night, remember? Shit, just like thatââ A roll of his hips. âBesides, We don't have much time. Taehyung's coming back at noon, right?"
Again with the 'Taehyung.' It's always 'Taehyung this, Taehyung that.'
Of course, you've known all along that Jungkook and his crew are planning something against your mob boss boyfriend. You've known all along how much of a pawn you are in the grand scheme of things. You've known all along that what you and Jungkook have right now has a hidden motive behind it.
You've known all that, and yet you can't help but be disappointed.
If you were just a pawn, Jungkook didn't have to bring you soup and heating pads that one time you had cramps. If you were just a pawn, he didn't have to be content just snuggling with you that one night you weren't in the mood for sex.
If you were just a pawn, he doesn't have to care if you're sore or not.
You halt his movements, pulling away from him to turn around with your back against his chest. âYou know Iâm Taehyung's girl, right? Not you? You're awfully more up to date with him than I am,â you point out, reaching between your legs to place his dick back between your legs and wet-humping it.
âWell, that sounds like a you problem,â he teases, reaching around to play with your clit. âMaybe I should be the one dating him, then.â
âYou'd love that, wouldn't you?â You reply, his fingers and your hips moving even faster and moments later, the both of you reach your highs, with your hole clenching around nothing and him finishing on your pussy.
After a few breaths, he kisses you tenderly before wrapping towels around you and himself, and leading you back to the bedroom. As he's turning away to put on his clothes, you notice something shiny peaking out from one of his pockets. Your heart stops when you see something gold.
A police badge.
Much later when you're both seated at his breakfast table, you're holding in your doubts and questions, choosing not to say anything yet as you finish your makeup and put on the earrings Taehyung got for you.
Maybe Jungkook notices how you've spaced out. Or maybe he notices how you've gone a bit distant. Either way, the shift in the air is noticeable and the tension is undeniably thick.
"Do you have to do that in front of me?" he asks, scowling through a mouthful of cereal.
You stop and stare at him.
"Do you have to make yourself pretty for him in front of me?" he spits out.
"What's the matter?" you ask him blankly.
"Why are you dressing up so much for him?"
"Why didn't you tell me you were a cop?"
Silence. The cat's out of the bag and there's no turning back now.
After a few tense beats, he tries to placate you. "I hid it to protect you," he sighs, his hand reaching out to touch yours. "Trust me."
You pull your hand away.
"No," you scoff. "I don't trust you, Jungkook, the bible salesman." You add, "I should've known life would do me dirty again."
"Hold on," he bites back. "You knew we were planning something. You knew I was trying to bring Taehyung down."
"I thought you were just like all the others who tried! You think you're the first one, Jungkook? You're not special," you say angrily. "How was I supposed to know you were the fucking police?"
He doesn't answer. Or more appropriately, he can't answer. His mouth opens and closes, no sound coming out.
"So if you're a cop," you start slowly, softly, your eyes on the table, "and your goal is to have Taehyung arrested... Where does that leave me?"
You look up at him.
"I'm in too deep," you continue. "My association with Taehyung runs too deep for me not to be implicated. If you arrest him..."
"Doll..."
"...will you arrest me, too?"
His silence tells you everything you need to know.
You stand up hurriedly, packing your things mindlessly and heading out the door.
Storming out of his place, you leave your disappointed heart and wistful dreams behind.

Any predictions for the next chapter, or from this wrap up in general?
Iâm gonna be honest; with Shigaraki dead, who knows how many of the League with him or soon to follow, and most of Class 1A ending their arcs as a disappointing collective carbon copy of the last generation, Iâm not too interested. And that may hinder my ability to predict what little we have left, let alone to any enjoyable capacity.
The only real prediction I can make is about how the wrap up will take every implication or consequence of the kidsâ failure to save or change andâŠcontinue to ignore them, brush them under the rug that is this feeling of how much the âday has been savedâ weâre being given.
Iâm talking zero mention of corruption in the hero industry, no talk about the folks heroes arenât around to save despite inspiring complacency & dependency, nothing to make us think villains wonât be treated worse after how Twice, Machia, and Shigaraki were treated, and you better believe they wonât bring up the Singularity Doomsday.
(Or, potentially more infuriatingly if itâs done poorly*, they actually will bring up some of the Leagueâs old talking pointsâŠmost of which no one on the heroes side have ever been shown caring about and werenât really brought up in the final arc at allâŠand itâs all to talk about how theyâre handling it the right way tm, which we learn is super easy for them. Turns out Shoji really can solve all of quirks racism by just being super inspiring at bigots, maybe with some finger wagging at them if heâs feeling daring**; donât know why Spinnerâs mob thought they needed to riot like that. And Shoto just made a few calls, gave a speech maybe, and now heroes abusing their power and/or families is a thing of the past; sure makes the lengths Touya went to seem silly.
Ugh, Iâm getting a migraine just typing that out.)
And itâll all end with future Deku saving some kid lost in the streets like Tenko Shimura, and weâll be asked to just pretend that means every kid like Tenko Shimura gets saved from now onâŠeven though thatâs not how his backstory or criticism of the system worked at all. Remember: âthe day is saved, so donât think about it too hard.â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Which I expect it would be.
**Which he will not.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If, after seeing me say that I don't want an ending where they do nothing but also don't want an ending where they do everything, you're wondering what ending I'd be satisfied withâŠI honestly couldn't tell you.
I should want an ending where they change and improve things; but after spending a sizable fraction of MHA's total length effectively fighting against change and improvement because it was villains trying to shepherd it in while the heroes were always talking about rebuilding it all back to normal to the very end (including just last chapter), I don't know how Hori could pull that off without it feeling like bad writing. And unless that writing gets bad enough for Tomura to return from dust, I donât much care for that idea either.

Imagine Harvey dent sneaking into Wayne manor after another gang fight with penguin only for Civilian!Bruce to be in those slutty ass black night gowns glaring at him from the steps of the manor waiting for his husband to get home.
Aka I would like to offer you chaotic civilian billionaire bruce and his very tired mob! boss husband.
Harvey dent fears no man expect the wrath of his husband, imagine trying to take down Twoface and failing only for him to be brought down by his tiny and very angry husband lecturing him on missing another date.
They also most definitely had a "excuse my husband asked fr no pickels" moment
I'm sorry I really needed to share this idea that's been rotting in my brain.
NO, BUT THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. Vital. We should be talking about this until time dies.
Bruce being a civilian and STILL marrying one of the most notorious criminals without any qualms is possibly the most take ever.
He's invited to brunches and galas and pretentious pool parties where everyone eats tiny sandwiches and talk about wanting to poison their husbands soon.
Bruce sighs all dreamy, eyes sparkling, " I gave Harvey a bazooka for his birthday and he was so happy he blew up the police station. He knows me so well."
Not to mention, Two Face's street credit fluctuates between flourishing and absolutely tanking.
He'll have some poor bastard ankles up, dangling above the white sharks he bought for Damian's birthday, and in the middle of his Menacing speech, his phone rings.
"And when you see God, tell him I -- Oh. Wait a minute. Mi vida, I'm doing something right now."
There's some mild phone gibberish.
"No, I didn't forget, I'm just gonna be a little late, -- Of course I know he wants me to be there, doll, but I just, -- oh come on, he's 5! Of COURSE he wants a theme park! Yes, it has to be a Wonder Woman one. Cause he said please!"
More phone gibberish, louder this time.
" Okay. I know, I know, I love you too. And you wear that lacey thing when I get home, huh?" Okay, now the sharks are preferable. Poor bastard who thought it was acceptable to kidnap Bruce Wayne and his son prefer it.
"Uh, you can just go ahead and drop me."
Harvey looks down at him with blade like sharpness, and you don't know which face you're talking to. " Drop you? Nah. Waitin' for my doll to come over here. You're my anniversary gift, pal."
#tHEM#ANON YOU MADE MY DAY#im dying to talk about bruharvey they mean so so so much to me ESP THIS AU HELLO?!?!?!#bruce wayne#dc#dc comics#bruce doesnt kill. he does however injure and maims for his kids <3#harvey dent#bruharvey#twobats#bruce x harvey#text#text post#my writing

Bucky was mad-no, he was seething as he paced back and forth in your home office. It was in the wee hours of the morning when his private jet had landed on the local airstrip. Within that same hour, Sam had personally escorted in the little nerd responsible for a good third of the turmoil going on in Buckyâs head: Jake.
Sam had taken the liberty of pre-binding his hands and duct taping his mouth shut. Bucky was going to enjoy ripping the goatee straight off his mousy little face.
Five hours ago
As soon as Steve had gotten off the phone with Bucky, he called the construction crew. They kept them on call for things like this, but the two of them never thought the stakes would be this high. It wasnât often that someone important and non-expendable was put in this type of danger, let alone someone Bucky cared about. As he was finishing up the call and directing them towards your house, Sam reached out to him with a sticky note.
On it was a name and the address to an apartment in the city, along with Samâs scrawled âpick her up on your way over.â Steve nodded as he hung up his call and placed another, grabbing the duffel bag he kept packed by the door and heading out.
Three Hours Later
Bucky hadnât left your side since the rocks collapsed. Luckily, the two of you had been able to find a small gap in the rocks where you both sat. It wasnât large enough to keep air circulating, but it was big enough to at least allow the two of you to talk with each other. You and Bucky had shared so much, from him sharing his first business operation with Steve, to you detailing crazy college stories of when you, your roommate, and Curtis would hang out.
Bucky laughed along. There was a whole side of you he never knew. He had studied intently what showed up on paper, and he knew the hardships youâd faced from your deep conversation last week, but this? This was a whole new, more playful side. He was surprised to see your spirits so high despite the situation.
âI do not believe that one bit. No way you were climbing up clock towers at school just to steal the clock hands, or a random brick or whatever. Youâre too straight-laced.â
You laughed and rolled your eyes as you leaned your head back against the stone wall. âOh please, people already pay so much to go there, if anything, I had more than the right to do it. Our money pays for that stuff. Technically we owned it. Not the school.â
Bucky snorted. âYou didnât even pay tuition. Didnât they pay you to go there?â
âThatâs besides the point, Bucket. Fight the man. And anyway, if you think Iâm straight laced, you should meet my roommate.â
Bucky grimaced. âYeah, about that. Sheâs on her way here right now.â
Your ears perked up. âDecks is on the way? Oh, thatâs good. Sheâll be super helpful. Sheâs so organized, although, I canât imagine she took well to whoever had to interrupt her beauty sleep. Whoâs the poor guy?â
Bucky sharply inhaled. âSteve.â
âOooo hooo hoo.â You laughed. âThatâll be a fun one for both of them. Theyâre either gonna love or hate each other. What are all the rest of the ETAs?â
Bucky looked at his watch. Well, really, he had been checking his watch this whole time to monitor his pulse, which was over 100 consistently since the tunnel buckled. He was shaking with concern for you, but kept his voice level to keep you calm, a trick he and Steve had worked tirelessly to master. âUmmm⊠looks like the construction crew should be here within the hour. And Iâll bet Decks and Steve will be pulling up any minute.â
You hummed in acknowledgment. âAnyone else coming that I should know about? So I can figure out where theyâll best fit around the farm? Decks is great with the animals.â
You hadnât heard all of Buckyâs or Curtisâs phone calls earlier since they stepped out of the cave to make them with better reception. Bucky didnât want you to know Jake was on the way, mostly because he knew youâd make him promise not to hurt the rat, and he didnât want to have to make that promise with the high likelihood it would be broken. He decided a better move would be to change the subject.
âSo where did the nickname âDecksâ come from anyway?â
âOh! Well itâs actually-â
Bucky heard footsteps near the mouth of the mine. He did his best to politely cut you off. âWait, Honey, Iâm so sorry, quiet for one second.â
He sat there and silently listened, the rustling becoming closer and clearer until he identified it as hooves clopping gently against the soft ground. He heard Curtisâs voice say something vaguely before he moved to get his feet underneath him and brush off his pants.
âI think Curtis is here with Steve and Decks. I donât want anyone else to come in, just in case itâs still too unstable. Can you tell me exactly what you need them to do?â
You nodded, even though you knew Bucky couldnât see it and began to lay out the instructions. Decks and Steve werenât here to clean out the tunnels, they were here to help keep the farm running until you were freed, and no one knew how long that would take. It was best to keep only those who could be closely trusted around until this was all figured out. God forbid the authorities come knocking, or worse yet, Cole. Bucky held onto your every word before briefly leaving the tunnel to relay the information.
Bucky returned to you shortly after instructing Curtis to take Steve and Decks back to the house so they could rest before their long day tomorrow. Everything needed to run as smoothly as possible to not raise suspicion from your absence, which they were going to claim was due to a corn crop farmerâs conference out in Iowa if anyone asked.
After another hour with you, Bucky let you know the construction company arrived and was starting to stabilize the ceiling so they could dig you out. âIâve gotta go deal with some business, so Iâll be back soon. Plus, I canât get in the way of these vehicles. But say the word to one of the crew and Iâll be back here in a minute flat. I promise.â
Buckyâs promises meant a lot. That was something you had learned in your conversations. He never said something unless he had a plan to deliver. A manâs word was everything in his line of work.
âOkay, Iâm going to hold you to that!â You yelled back.
Bucky chuckled. âIâm going to send Sam back here as soon as he arrives. Heâll keep you company.â And with that, Bucky made his way back to the house.
So this is where Bucky found himself, walking back and forth menacingly behind Jake, who had been tied down to the guest chair in your office. Jakeâs eyes shifted back and forth with nervousness as he tried and failed to hold back whimpers and near-hyperventilating breaths.
Bucky had been silent for only ten minutes. He liked the way it made them squirm. He could sit and stare all day, completely unbothered, as anyone he interrogated slowly lost their mind. Of course, there were other, more fun ways, to get information, but he wouldnât dare mark up your home. Heâd never let the one they called âThe Winter Soldierâ be unleashed in your sanctuary. This is the closest he would ever get, though, and it would never be seen by you.
Bucky stalked around Jake and crouched in front of him. âA milk maid came in here and told me that youâd given him information about this farm. Care to share?â
Jake shook his head vigorously and whined through the duct tape over his mouth. Bucky leaned in closer. What was more terrifying than being yelled at by him? Bucky with an alarmingly level voice.
âSorry, I couldnât quite catch that. I can help you talk a little better, but youâve gotta be quiet. There are people upstairs sleeping, and I canât guarantee theyâll be as nice as me if you wake them. Promise to be good?â
Jake nodded carefully and slowly. Bucky reached for the tape at the corner of Jakeâs mouth and ripped it off quickly. Jakeâs head lurched forward, his mouth open with a silent scream between gasping breaths. Bucky examined the sticky side of the tape. There was no hair on it. The steam from Jakeâs mouth mustâve reduced the stickiness just enough that it didnât cause damage. Shame.
Bucky slammed his hands over Jakeâs on the armrests of the chair. âTell me everything.â He gritted out between clenched teeth.
Jake giggled uncomfortably. âUhâŠ.thereâs not really much to know, misterâŠsirâŠ.does this have to do with Peach? I thought she owned this farm now. Where is she?â
Bucky growled. âThatâs not important right now, but yes, this is about this farm. Tell me everything you told the guy with the soft hands and the jackets that were too crisp to indicate a day of work in his whole life.â
Bucky had no intention to associate that with his own designer crisp suits that he wore everyday back in the city. That was different, it was a totally separate line of work, plus, he wasnât trying to pose as something that heâs not when he wore them. Anyway, heâs not the one on trial here.
âOh! You mean Cole? Fucking prick.â Jake mumbled looking down and to the side. âI can promise whatever he said to you was a lie. That guyâs always been awful. He hides a demon face behind his handsomeness.â
Bucky didnât want to be on Jakeâs side, but he couldnât argue with that. But to keep him talking, Bucky leaned in closer, moving his hand towards the knife on his belt loop. Jake flinched and raised his hands in surrender as much as he could with his wrists tied down.
âOkay, okay, I promise I didnât say much. At least not on purpose. I was at an investors party up in San Francisco when Cole bumped into me. He was bragging about how he had just inherited his parentsâ company and it was way bigger than when we were in high school. Frankly, I didnât care, I make an effort to forget about a lot from back then, mostly him, so I tried to disprove him by saying that there are still nice little farms around despite his familyâs efforts. I told him I still had my mom buy me honey that Peach makes, herself.â He hung his head in shame.
Bucky huffed as he leaned back against your desk and crossed his arms. âWell, way to go. You know, they painted you to be some genius, but youâre an absolute idiot.â
Jake looked up and scrunched his nose. âWell I actually prefer the term loser, bu-â
Bucky raised his hand to stop Jake from talking. âI really donât care. What matters is that youâve made a mess for Honeybee that inconveniences all of us. Iâve gotta be the one to work on cleaning this up while sheâs otherwise occupied.â
Jake cocked his head to the side and furrowed his brow in confusion. âWho the fuck is âHoneybee?â Are we talking about the same person?â
Bucky sighed and wiped a hand over his face, stopping with it covering his mouth. He looked at the helpless man in front of him. How had you ever dated this guy? If he used to be great, what on Earth happened to him? âGod, youâre slow to catch on. Yes, itâs the same person, but I donât think the sweet peach you used to know and love is in there anymore. Not after you abandoned her. And especially not after you gave up her operation on a silver platter to Cole.â
Jake swallowed as he caught on. He had seen the devious glint in Coleâs eye when they had run into each other, but just thought it was a product of Coleâs braggadocious success. Not his complete hunger for domination. Despite the way Jake left, he still cared for you. He didnât want to see the thing you loved taken away, especially by the guy who caused him so much grief. The guy your family defended him from on so many occasions. He felt awful. Youâd taken care of Jake when he was around, but when the opportunity came for him to do the same for you, he failed.
Tears began to well up in his eyes. âIâm so sorry. Whatever I can do to help, I will, please, misterrrrâŠâŠ.â
Buckyâs shoulders pushed back in arrogance. Jake squealed all the information he had and didnât even know the name of the man interrogating him. That wouldnât do, especially if Bucky wanted to eventually release Jake back out into the wild once this was all over. He made a mental note to have someone coach Jake on how to not give up sensitive intel so easily. But for now, Bucky would take advantage of the ease of informational access.
âBarnes. You get to call me Barnes.â
âOoh! So like a cool nickname only I get to use? I feel so special.â
Bucky chuckled dryly at that. Jake really was clueless. âNo. Not at all like that.â Bucky leaned forward, elbows on his knees as his face inched closer to Jakeâs.
âNow tell me everything you know about the mines.â
Jakeâs eyebrows raised. âOh? Those old things? Yeah, Peach and I used to make out in the-â
Bucky waved his hand again as he closed his eyes, unable to look at Jake for another second. âNo. Skip that part. What else?â He quickly said, dismissively.
âI know theyâre old? Like crazy old and probably prone to collapse at this point. But Pe- I mean, your Honeybee does some occasional civil engineering contracting work. She could probably easily whip up a plan to reinforce them.â
Bucky looked at Jake more intently. He liked the way Jake said his Honeybee, but he couldnât let that distract him right now. And anyway, you were very much your own person. Far from his. If anything, he was yours. He knew about all your business endeavors, but not those kinds of specifics. âKeep talking.â
âYeah, I kept up with her after school-well, more like I asked my mom to keep up with her. Apparently sheâs like, designed bridges for town and stuff. Why? Whatâs going on with the mines?â
âThatâs not technically your business.â Bucky stood there, debating on his next move.
Jakeâs eyes lit up as he gasped loudly. âOh my gosh. Is she in trouble!? Did she get hurt in a mine!?â
Bucky slapped his hand over Jakeâs mouth and whisper yelled at him. âWhat did I say about keeping it down?â
Jake winced and whispered back. âSorry. Does Curtis know?â
Bucky nodded. âYes. And heâs upstairs sleeping. Donât. Poke. The Bear.â
Jake nodded again. He was being so compliant, Bucky figured he could let a few more details slip. Maybe Jake was a little smarter than Bucky gave him credit for. âSheâs trapped in one of the smaller caves. Iâve already got a construction crew digging her out.â
âWait wait wait. You guys have a proper plan for this, right? Youâve gotta put supports in first and then calculate the load-bearing rocks. You canât just go willy-nilly digging or it could get worse.â Man, based off that language, Bucky had no doubt Jake truly did grow up around you.
âGood observation, Jakey. Thatâs where you come in. I know I couldâve just called you if I wanted to know what you told Cole, but I needed you in person to know how serious I am. Grab your little computer and weâll get going so you can run the calculations while Honeybee talks you through them. You can still ride a horse, right?â
Jake moved to get up, only to be stopped by the restraints. Bucky turned around from the door, voice dripping with fake sympathy. âOh, thatâs right, my bad. Iâll get you untied and then we can go.â
Sam was talking with you about where to put which construction vehicles when he heard hooves make their way to the entrance. Bucky dismounted the back of a horse holding a laptop, followed by Jake who was riding ahead of him on that same horse.
âNot a word of this, Samuel.â Bucky growled lowly into Samâs ear with clenched teeth. âIâve already threatened the kid with the same.â
Bucky still had no idea how to ride a horse on his own, but would never admit that, so he was actually extremely grateful that Jake could take the reins. Sam had taken the other horse to get to you, leaving only one back at the house for him and Jake to use.
Bucky handed Jake the laptop and patted him on the back harshly, making it more of a shove. This led him to the small hole where you and Sam had just been talking.
Bucky followed at a quicker pace, reaching the area just before Jake could and held his arm out in front of the blond to bar him from going any farther. âHi Honey, itâs me. I brought you a little present to help out, I hope youâre not mad. Itâs your old friend Jacob from high school. Say hi.â
âJake? Like⊠Jensen?â You responded, trying to look through the small hole unsuccessfully.
âYeah, Peach, itâs me. Iâm here to get you out. A-and Mr. Barnes wants you to know heâs been nothing but kind to me.â Jake clutched his laptop firmly to his chest, leaning over to be heard better through the small opening.
Bucky gave a stern nod to Jake for already responding well to his coaching on the way over here. Jake sat down by the hole where Bucky had sat before and got to work.
âOkay, Bee. Like I told you before, you say the word and Iâll be here in a minute. You can time me.â
âWhere are you going?â He could hear the slight worry in your voice.
âTo run a farm. And by that, I mean listen to Curtis.â
You giggled. âOkay, Bucket. See you soon.â
He looked back and smiled before turning towards Sam and pointing into his chest. âYou tell me the second sheâs close to getting out. Iâll be there.â
Sam nodded. âSure thing, boss. Need help getting back up on your horse?â
Bucky was already turned away and heading back to your house. He waved a hand dismissively. âNo. Iâm walking.â
Sam chuckled as he watched the mob boss trudge away. He knew something had shifted in Buckyâs feelings. And he definitely had his suspicions that Bucky couldnât ride a horse.
When Bucky returned to your house, he didnât go upstairs. He feared the creaking of the steps would wake Decks, Curtis, and Steve. Plus, he knew he wasnât going to sleep. Why would he when there was so much to do to help you? He would just get in the way at the mines, so he went into your office. He pulled out the files and article you had planned to show him the previous night regarding Cole from the kitchen, and as he sat down in your chair, he saw a contract with a familiar watermark. Shit.
Fuck. Shit. Bitch.
The letterhead was from âTurners Farm Corporation,â which he had expected, but the associated law firm was âHansen & Co.â Bucky had his fair share of law firms in his back pocket, but this was not one of them. In fact, it was quite the opposite.
Lloyd Hansen was something of Buckyâs rival in the city. He was an unhinged lunatic. Where Bucky ran things with honor, poise, and calculated movements, Lloyd was messy, unpredictable, and reckless. Heâd been trying to make multiple steps into Buckyâs territory, geographically and business-wise, but Bucky had done a decent job at shutting it down thus far.
And now Cole was in cahoots with Lloyd, well, not him directly on paper, just his bitch-ass sister who ran the firm. Bucky couldnât believe-well, actually he could. He could believe that Cole would have teamed up with Hansen to build enough power for a takeover, especially considering it didnât add up if Cole was making these moves on his own.
Fired by frustration that more than supplemented the sleep Bucky lacked from not just tonight, but this whole week, he snapped a picture of the contract and sent it to Sam. Sam would make sure it made its way through the right channels and contacts still back in the city. For now, Bucky had a more important priority than personally dealing with business: You. He had never been so grateful for Sam.
As he skimmed through the final page of the contract Cole had proposed to you, the first rooster crowed. Bucky got up to gather the eggs and make breakfast like any other day in the routine heâd grown so familiar with over just the past two weeks. But instead of cooking for you, he was cooking for the small army that came to your aid.
Curtis came barreling down the steps first, followed by Decks, and then eventually, Steve, who slumped and slinked down the stairs, reminiscent of Buckyâs first day doing the same. At least they were able to get themselves up.
Bucky plated their food, Curtis eyeing him with a small smile that Bucky failed to notice, and he sat down in his normal spot to start eating. He honestly didnât have the appetite to do so, but he knew heâd crash without food since he already wasnât sleeping, so he forced it down, preparing to go over the assignments with everyone once again.
Steve would be doing what Bucky had last week to set up the farmerâs market since it was scheduled to go again. Decks would be taking over the tasks you had, feeding the animals, and then doing sales with Bucky since people already knew his face. No need to raise more suspicion by introducing two new people to an event you were usually at.
Once everyone cleared their plates, they got to work, doing everything they could to be of assistance for the mob boss who was very evidently on edge.
It was early afternoon when Bucky got a call from Sam. He immediately picked it up.
âWeâre close, boss. Only a couple more large boulders to go before thereâs a big enough gap to pull her through.â
Bucky dropped the empty crates he was carrying onto the floor of the storage shed where he was returning them from the farmers market. Lucky for him, the storage shed was much closer to the mines than the barn.
Bucky was full-on sprinting in a way no one had ever seen. He never had to once he rose to power. All he did was walk, his long strides alone commanded enough respect. But this wasnât about pride. It was about you.
He arrived at the mine entrance, breathing heavily, just as Sam was holding your hand, helping you step over a pile of sand and pebbles. Jake stood awkwardly to the side as you looked up from your feet to see Bucky quickly moving toward you. A smile took over your face and you sighed in relief. He scooped you up and spun you around before setting you down again and using his large hands to frame your face. Bucky didnât care about the dirt and grime that had built up on the two of you. All he cared about was your safe return to his arms.
You watched as his eyes darted between yours and down to your lips. You wouldnât hold back anymore. He had put all his resources into saving you, helping you. Without wasting another second, you leaned up on your toes and smashed your lips into his. When you pulled back, Bucky lost consciousness, collapsing in your arms.

I'm on the fence about a lot of the "glass child" discussion because where I agree with some points that are made and enjoy the in depth analysis, I've come to severely disagree with others. Mostly because the internet is the internet, and the nuanced discussion has lost that nuance.
The reason this whole thing blew up (though it's been a concern for a while, certainly) was when Phil explained why he felt he needed to save Tallulah first before Chayanne. And you could tell Philza was trending cautious waters with his wording - he never wanted to say "oh, Chayanne's a chad, he'll get over it." With his wording, he recognized that neither were necessarily fine, but he still felt it necessary to prioritize one over the other because of one of his kid's big issues: Tallulah has abandonment issues. Maybe they're not as bad now since the "official adoption," but it certainly shouldn't be disregarded. But Phil remembers how much Tallulah hates being left alone, and wanted to make sure she wasn't in that situation long. Phil knew at the of the day, that Chayanne had no severe abandonment issues (that we are aware of), hence him saying he'd be okay "a bit longer." The prioritization is still there, and the Death family still has much to talk about, but the fandom's reactions felt a bit too... harsh, a bit too severe. They'd make it sound like Phil didn't consider Chayanne's feelings at all or that he thought Chayanne was totally going to be 100% okay with being alone forever and ever. When there's more to it than that, and ultimately, Phil was stuck making a decision in a lose-lose situation, and he knew that.
But a lot of people seem to focus solely on this moment, and let it epitomize the entirety of the Death Family's relationship and struggles. When, if anything, there's additional moments from yesterday's stream alone that I think show some slow growth in Philza's parenting when it comes to him being overprotective of Tallulah and him expecting a protector/warrior out of Chayanne.
Because if Phil really thought Chayanne was a ruthless warrior who can handle anything and be fine and get over it, he'd have let Chayanne immediately join them in their journey of saving Richarlyson. Like "If we've got Chayanne with us, nothing can hold us back" or something. But he didn't. He wanted both of his children to stay back, to stay safe. But his kids insisted on joining, even if just for emotional support. And if Phil really was completely stuck in his old ways, he'd say the old "Chayanne protect your sister" when the mobs starting showing up, or hell, even before that. But that never once happens. Both of his kids fight, and he trusted that they could both handle themselves since they insisted on coming along, though you can see him check on both of his kids once or twice during the fight. If this becomes a persistent thing, it shows great growth in Phil's character when it comes to being overprotective of his daughter and having his son prioritize her safety above all else. It's become more of "keep an eye on each other," which is definitely the preferrable kind of thinking!
And again, I emphasize that singular moments should not be the sole focus of these discussion. Rather, the overall actions throughout should be talked about. And honestly, Phil made sure that a lot of his focus was divided between both of his children throughout yesterday. When Chayanne decided to stay behind while the others went to the beach event to keep an eye on an AFK Tubbo, Phil decided to "hang about with you, kid, it's alright," even when Tallulah was long gone. Like, he wasn't going to let his kid sit alone like that waiting! Or when he got the llama plushie during the treasure hunt, I'd honestly have expected him to immediately give it to Tallulah because animals=Tallulah, I guess. But he asked them both which of them would have liked it more, a genuine attempt to make sure neither felt left out in receiving the gift. Yes, these, too, are small moments, but if we wanna have a discussion about these relationships, all these moments should at least be considered, not just the negatives.
And to me, the kind of consensus to make in these scenarios is that the situation at hand is... complicated. Like, Phil's parenting is flawed, I'd be a fool to say otherwise. All parenting is inherently flawed, that's basic psychology or... just how humans work. However, through his faults, he tries everything he is able to to do best by these kids. So, with all these moments and more, it never sat right with me to say Phil neglects Chayanne. I can almost see the case for "emotional neglect" a bit more, but even then, I find some fault in that thinking. Yes, qPhil is neurodivergent af, so he doesn't get emotional context clues and needs these discussion to be upfront in his face (which I already went into depth here regarding the relationship these two have). Put simply, any "emotional neglect" Chayanne feels isn't necessarily from Phil prioritizing Tallulah, but more so where Tallulah is more open with her feelings which makes it easier for Phil to talk to her about them, Chayanne has rarely ever been someone who opens up about feelings, and when you couple that with Phil's lack of emotional intelligence, these issues clash. However, it's important to note that a while ago, Chayanne had an open dialogue with Philza about Tubbo's death and how it affected him, and Phil was responsive to it. It'd be one thing if he told Chay to get over it, but no, he was very honest and kind to Chayanne during their talk. And afterward, Phil suggested for Chayanne that, if he ever needs to talk, to have them sit at the pier outside of their house. He extended an offering to Chayanne for emotional discussions. It was a great way for both of these people who are terrible at talking about their emotions to come together and talk. It highlights how Phil is very much okay with talking to Chayanne on an emotional level, and he has, and he will continue to be. They're just... both bad at it, sadly.
Finally, I think it's important to clarify what a glass child actually is, and if it fits the current narrative. A glass child is a child who is overlooked when their sibling is facing some sort of disability that makes the parent give the sibling their full attention, and often has the glass child help out a lot. Initially, Tallulah very much needed extra care due to her "asthma" and the fact she wasn't a great fighter who could protect herself. Hence why Phil and Chayanne were so overprotective of her and put a lot of focus on her. And for the longest time, Chayanne was okay with it, because she needed that help to survive on this hellish island. It's just that over time, things changed. These characters changed.
So it's not really like that for Tallulah now, is it? Her asthma is no longer as bad (it still happens, though!), and she's gained a lot of fighting experience over time. She can hold her own in a fight. And Phil no longer keeps that much of a paranoid eye on her; i.e. again, yesterday's stream where, even when they were fighting end monsters, he never shouted for her to get away or for Chayanne to protect her. In the early days, if Tallulah was even allowed to join, he'd have her stand back and ask Chayanne to keep an eye on her. But that doesn't happen here.
So nowadays? No, I don't think Chayanne could be considered a glass child. Because those disabilities aren't as much of a hindrance for Tallulah as they used to, and Phil isn't as paranoid about them as before. I think the effects are still there, in a way, but it doesn't fit where the characters currently stand. Ultimately, I think there are several reasons as to why things are as they are even if Chayanne may not be a glass child in the present. The big one being that Phil's not entirely adapted to the changes his children have gone through.
Especially after Purgatory, his children have gone through a lot and changed in the process; Tallulah became more independent, and Chayanne kind of being tired of being a warrior and needing more emotional support. And since he wasn't there to witness that change and only saw the aftermath, I think it's a struggle for him to come to terms with them. However, that doesn't mean he's entirely set in old ways. He's trained Tallulah on PVP, and again, he's allowed her to participate in fights without being super worried. And as I mentioned, he has extended a branch for Chayanne to be more open with his feelings. These are just starts, certainly, but it means that Phil is open to adapting and helping both of his kids in any way they need. He just has to figure out what they need.
And let me be clear: I'm not disregarding the flaws in q!Phil's parenting. They exist, and Chayanne really needs to have an open discussion about how his emotional needs haven't quite been met as of recent, and Phil needs to be more open to have emotional discussions with Chayanne, even if to them, that's like pulling teeth. There's changes and improvements that need to be made. However, in talking about the negatives, it just seems like people think that's all there is. No, these flaws in Phil's parenting doesn't make him a bad parent. Because there are plenty of positives, plenty of decent growth here. There's love and respect and everything in this family. q!Phil is genuinely doing his best in a very difficult scenario: living on an island that is set on killing the eggs, and being a parent of two while basically being a single parent all while struggling with your own traumas. that's going to come with obstacles, it's inevitable, but what's also inevitable is how this family will work through them, and come out of this better than before.
