Venus got understandably upset about her sister embarrassing her in front of the guest and "stealing" Diana's friend. She was tired of Venus taking whatever she wanted and having no understanding of personal boundaries.

Venus: Oh my Watcher, girl! Chill! You can't gatekeep friends from school and it's not like he's your boyfriend or anything!

As soon as Lola heard her daughters shouting at each other while a guest was around, she rushed to stop this madness. She didn't care about what was going on and obviously defended Venus, saying she has every right to spend time with kids from their school just as much as Diana does.

Justin was about to leave this awkward situation, but Venus stopped and continued hitting on him. She genuinely found him cute, but also knew about his acting background and couldn't help being thrilled about possibly dating a boy from a family of actors.

Why do I feel like "A candlelight dinner is a romantic gesture, not a hostage situation 40 feet in the air." "Well, she did risk everything for love." is gonna be so relevant in March

my problem with raven!neil

this may be controversial but i've actually found that i don't rlly like raven!neil fics and aus. and here is my thesis. spoilers ahead continue at ur own risk.

crucial distinction here is that i don't actually dislike the concept of "raven!neil" as an individual character concept. i think it's actually very interesting to look into the sort of person neil would be if things had been slightly different. that is, obviously, the point of au fics and headcanons. my actual problem with raven!neil is mostly when fic writers and the fandom in general put him in context and into au fics and then the problems start arising. i'm being purposefully vague but i'm gonna go into all the problems i've come across when it comes to raven!neil.

first off, and this is something i've mentioned before, i think the fandom tends to strip abuse victims (particularly the characters who got out of the nest) of literally any agency or individuality. this happened with jean, when the whole fandom seemed to collectively uwufy him as if he isn't an adult (yes he's young yes he's barely an adult but he IS and i would argue thinking of him as a child still does him no good) with massive amounts of trauma. yes, jean has a learned fear of riko and tetsuji (and coaches by extension bc of the abuse from raven coaches) but he actually doesn't harbour much fear towards anyone else? he has come to expect violent retribution/punishment and does sort of have this problem where he bares his throat for the knife (when he puts the racquet in rhemann's hands and when he expects laila to hit him back) but other than that he actually doesn't demonstrate a lot of fear or panic when engaging with others.

i think the same would go for neil. the neil in current canon quite literally has no fears that do not trace back to his father. he doesn't fear riko, tetsuji, ichirou, andrew, drake or even lola and his father's men. where he does show fear is whenever his father gets involved. he isn't afraid of riko or anything riko has to say until riko brings nathan wesninski into it. the closest thing he comes to fear for anyone else is when he flinches from wymack but i'd call that survival instinct rather than like...fear. he doesn't have much of an emotional response, just an instinctual and physical one.

we obviously have no idea how neil's fear would develop if he had grown up at the nest. i'm not sure how much of a difference it would've made, honestly. obviously, those eight years on the run heavily reinforced his fear, so i don't really know where that fear would go if he was stagnant at the nest and confirmed (?) to be safe from his father. i think one of neil's key personality traits actually is his bravery and fearlessness, so i can't really see neil ever being truly afraid of tetsuji and riko. if you want to compare jean and neil in this aspect, all i'd say is: people have different responses for trauma. neil is not jean 2.0 or vice versa. even if they were put in virtually the same environment with the same treatment, they are still different people with different personalities. thus, they respond in different ways. just like jean and kevin responded in different ways, though their situations are implied to have been very different.

besides the point of fear and object of fear, i don't actually think being afraid of ur abusers means ur a baby that should be coddled and uwufied by the fandom. it's actually completely normal and human, so i actually have no clue why the fandom decided to do this with jean.

as someone in the tags of one of my previous posts so aptly said, autonomy ≠ agency. did kevin and jean have autonomy in the nest? no. but they did have agency. stripping abuse victims of agency and personality is actually so harmful and i think it's way too normalised in fandom culture. but that's a discussion for another day. we've all heard the comparison of the fear responses in relation to andrew (fight), neil (flight), kevin (freeze) and jean (fawn). i actually think these are mostly accurate, but it doesn't do any good to simplify it so completely.

neil having to remain sedentary rather than running away and never stopping or looking back is inevitably going to alter his responses to situations. neil's knee-jerk reaction to traumatic events or news in the og trilogy is literally: go on a run. this might still be the case in the nest, but i doubt it. i've said before that i think neil is the type of person to fight back. u could argue in response to that that jean was also fierce and angry when he got to the nest but developed something akin to learned helplessness where he simply stopped fighting back as a trauma response. but again: neil and jean are not the same person. they may have similar personalities, but everyone is different. you can't boil down all the victims of a particular abusive situation into the same person. this is stripping them of agency and individuality, once again. jean learned to stop fighting back and even ask for violent punishment for "wrongdoing" but i honestly don't think neil would. again, not because he's superior or inferior to jean, he's just a different person entirely. his time at evermore in trk was effectively a trial run for the time that riko intended neil to spend there after the year ended. we don't know exactly, but it's probably safe to assume that riko tried to cram as much of the abuse that kevin and jean received over several years into those two/three weeks. i mean, neil got fucking waterboarded and handcuffed to the bed for fuck's sake. i think at some point neil does say that he bowed his head and played at subservience, but when it really came down to riko and tetsuji trying to force neil to do something he adamantly did not want to do (sign the raven's contract) he literally just refused and didn't relent even under torture. jean even said he thought riko might've killed neil for it. neil was literally ready to die rather than bend to riko's will.

obviously, things would be different with kevin and jean in the equation. i can see neil reining himself in for their sake, but this brings me to another issue i have with raven!neil. and that is the strange need to turn neil into a protector figure. i.e. a human meat shield with a martyr complex for kevin and jean. every time i sense any iteration of this in any fic or hc i literally have to stop reading. it's just so...like random to me. neil has literally not been a "protector" in canon in fact he's almost always the one being "protected" (andrew's deal to literally protect neil from his father, wymack and abby's protectiveness, etc). yes, neil has protective instincts but so does literally every human being. neil is, in my opinion, no more or less protective than anyone else. compare this to say, andrew, who is known for his role as the "protector" (beating up the guys who hurt nicky, killing aaron's mother + getting rid of his addiction, making deals w kevin + neil). i've also written another extensive essay about why neil isn't and will never be the martyr or sacrificial lamb that some ppl seem to want him to be, so i won't go into it here. just please please please read the series back and realise: neil is quite literally the opposite of a martyr. i just have no idea where the idea of neil as a martyr or protective figure came in. especially in regards to kevin and jean.

it bears noting the first time neil meets riko with kevin there. at kathy's, neil doesn't hesitate to defend kevin and clock riko's shit. but note: defending ≠ protecting. and even if you do want to call that protecting, neil's way of "protecting" has never been in a martyring, self-sacrificial, human shield way. he is almost always on the offensive (clocking riko rather than directly defending kevin, punching riko, etc etc). neil is a natural instigator, and it would be such a disservice to him to erase that characteristic of his in raven!neil fics.

there are also several times in the series where neil's offensive actions have consequences that directly impact his loved ones and other people. like the first time neil insulted riko, a man literally died. the second time, drake attacked andrew. the third, neil took a trip to hell on earth and spent three weeks at evermore. the fourth, the foxes' and other athletes' cars got trashed. there's probably more that i'm not remembering, but you get the idea. neil feels guilt but never regret for this. he literally says verbatim that he isn't sorry for what he said about riko/the ravens even after the cars get wrecked and the others seem to blame him. so while i can see neil ducking his head and submitting to prevent jean/kevin getting hurt, it's also worth noting that if neil really cared that much about consequences, he probably would've stopped openly and loudly insulting riko in public after seth was murdered the first time. neil knew, or at least had a hunch, that it was his fault. did that stop him from doing it again? hell no. it can be both a character flaw and strength, but it's also just a fact. neil does not think that much about consequence. he sort of just does what he wants when he wants. it's a part of his personality. while there's no telling what about his personality would've changed at the nest, the fact that ten years living with a mob boss serial killer and eight years on the run from said mob boss serial killer didn't seem to kill that mouth of his, idk what would.

my final point is that when the raven!neil fic has andreil in it, it turns into andrew "saving" neil from his situation. words can't explain how much i hate this take on things. especially when it usually comes out of nowhere as well. bfr, andrew is not gonna risk his life to "save" some pretty redhead that comes his way without some pre-established connection. i also just think the idea of a "saviour" in a relationship is actually insane. as someone who is consistently pissed off and triggered by imbalance in relationships, this irritates me to no end. andreil obviously are protective and care for each other. that's a known fact. but i feel like w raven!neil fics they tend to exaggerate this and make it insanely one-sided. like andrew is some superhero type figure that needs to save damsel-in-distress neil who has a penchant for out-of-character martyrdom and is trapped in a horribly abusive situation. it sounds like i'm just hyperbolising no this is actually in all of the raven!neil fics that i've read. this exact dynamic. i hate it oh my god. it's not only entirely out of character i don't even think it works for them. like this should not be what their relationship is about or based off of. this last bit might just be a personal thing but i just hate hate hate it and it feels so wrong to force andreil into this kind of a dynamic. just leave my boys alone i'm BEGGING.

the aftg fandom does have this problem that should be addressed where they tend to coddle and uwufy abuse victims (particularly kevin, neil and jean in the context of the nest) and strip them down to easily digestible stereotypes. but this literally could not be further from the truth in canon. y'all forget how actually bitchy neil, jean and kevin are as individuals. kevin's fear of riko and tetsuji is bone-deep, but that never stopped him from picking fights with the foxes and hitting back whenever they had a problem w him (the only exception being andrew, but kevin already said, he lets andrew walk him like a dog out of sort-of thanks that andrew is letting him stay at psu). jean is also sort of an asshole (affectionate) back in the og trilogy and lowk in tsc too. he has a seemingly endless supply of insults for literally everyone and literally thinks about breaking jeremy's fingers for treating him too warily. he consistently gets annoyed when the trojans are too careful with him and remember when he literally threw jeremy to the floor during practice? yeah. seriously, stop boiling down these very traumatised individuals to their fear and history of abuse and erase any other part of their personality that makes them an interesting, well-rounded individual. it's so irritating to read and have to deal with the gross misinterpretation and mischaracterisation of these very well-loved characters. they deserve better, and these things also bely some very pertinent issues within fandom culture at large that should be talked about and critiqued more. jesus this is long anyway thank you for reading.

Does a picture ever come out of jack standing down in the public area watching Lola get drafted, he has no idea it was taken maybe it gets released during Hughes bowl where he doesn't even know it was being taken he's just standing there with a lil subconscious smile as she gets called

And that's when Lola finds out he went because Jack gets asked about the photo

ooo, yes. only it doesn't get released during the hughes bowl or the hughes bowl 2.0. some unknown reporter trying to make a name for themselves puts it on the internet a few weeks before the weekend of hughes (the ducks play the devils and canucks in the same weekend) in early march.

people think the photo is fake. more footage comes out from around the time the pic was taken, confirming that ha

the day prior to the first game, there is a big family interview. lola does not know what jack did yet (she finds out later that night when had to she runs out quick and ends up bumping into robbie).

"so jack, we were going over footage that was taken at the draft this past summer and we noticed this," someone shows a picture of him at the draft in the crowd.

"yeah, um, i, um, was running late and i thought i uh would just stand with everyone, so i wouldn't draw attention to myself since it was you know her night." jack shrugged it off like it was nothing.

"you went?"

"of course"

Diana tried to call her sister out while they were waiting for breakfast. She didn't try to cause drama, but she needed someone to back her up and explain Venus she doesn't have bathroom priority in the house.

Komei did his best to de-escalate the situation, while Lola was fighting with the food. She never really cared enough about learning how to cook and now it was ruining her perfect image.

The family tried to keep a straight face throughout the meal, but the bitter taste of burnt food was too strong even for Komei. He didn't want to hurt his wife's feelings, but he also didn't want a food poisoning.

Lola didn't say a word, but desperately needed to wash down the aftertaste with a drink from the bar. Also some cooking classes would be good.

No spoilers past 2x12 if possible folks!

2x08 – Buck, Actually thoughts

Oh, Taylor Kelly is back. Reporting on a naked woman called Lola overhanging a highway angry at her husband called Norman… Only in LA!

I genuinely liked Lola and Norman’s plot I mean, yeah, they need therapy to learn how to communicate, but they were sort of cute.

Buck 1.0? 2.0? What is with the relationship upgrades? Is the 3.0 upgrade moving in with someone who also lives in the apartment at the same time?

Oh my gosh Buck’s face when Maddie joined him and Chim for drinks? And hearing they’ve done this more than once? Priceless! And they’re doing karaoke? Maddie and Chim are just downright adorable!

I loved Buck calling them out later in the ep about them dating. They might not be ready to admit it yet, but Buck’s absolutely right, they are dating. I’m happy for them both. Chim’s had a rough patch dating wise so it’s nice to see him comfortable enough to be just himself rather than faking stories and so on to look better. And I’m sure he’s a massive improvement over Maddie’s husband. I’m also happy is managing to make connections outside her brother. Considering how hesitant she was about even staying, it’s nice to see her settling down.

OK , Buck and Taylor hooked up this ep. Colour me NOT shocked. I thought they’d hook up when they first met. Chim comparing Buck 1.0 to Taylor was pretty funny.

I think my favourite emergency this ep had to be the shop robbery. The wedding couple in the car was OK, nothing to write home about. The cashiers and the wannabe robbers were just a pure comedy of errors. Athena’s exasperation was hilarious. How many baby bears does dear old Harley have exactly?

Then we had the elderly gay couple who had me in floods of tears with their flashback montage. Seeing them live and then die together was as beautiful as it was heartbreaking. As the only single of the group (not sure I can call Eddie single since he’s technically married) it was interesting to see the message of you make love happen was to Buck specifically. I hope he does find a partner he can make it work with. As interesting as it was seeing him grow last season with Abby, they weren’t on the same wavelength.

I certainly wasn’t expecting him to wind up on a date with earthquake girl though? Who I seriously didn’t recognise at all but OK I guess? It’s a choice? Not what I was expecting.

6, 15 and 30 for ao3 wrapped please Lola 💖

hi friend! thank you for the ask <3

6. favourite title you used

call me (by my name) (obviously, because the fic was about phone sex. i thought it was super neat).

15. which wips are you taking into next year with you?

eurotrip has come with me into every new year since 2022, so that's coming along.

the ring-in 2.0

product placement (aka. the tiktok fic 2.0) still hasn't been finished either, so that's coming.

the [redacted] fic with @rmd-writes is technically a wip? it has some words. unsure when/if we will complete this but it could be a mega-angst moment if we do (unusual for me!)

30. biggest surprise while writing this year?

in terms of published works on Ao3, I actually wrote more co-written fic this year than not which is...wild. i actually really love the mutual scheming more than anything else - seeing someone else's thoughts and writing process is very precious to me. i really love forming closer friendships, and cowriting also has this benefit of making me feel valued and feeling a deeper sense of appreciation for the other person's creative vision at the same time. it's probably the most fun i have while writing. @rmd-writes and i actually collaborated on 3 out of the 4 posted co-written fics for me this year, which means our brains align perfectly 😌 but i'm always open to new opportunities if anyone thinks our writing styles would go well together.

from this tag game (feel free to ask!)

[solar-bean]

Here's Alina's top ten for Journey 2.0! Aside from Lola and Cubby, these guys are ready to battle with all they got!!! They can't wait to see some old members make an appearance and new members to join along the way ☺️

Also should be noted I cheated alittle. Made it possible in my story for pokemon to learn a maximum of 6 moves if they're level orange and up. Though it is possible for them to forget they know a move if they're wild and/or elderly.

When slayers go into rage mode in the lab (Part 2)

Part 2 is hereee!!!! And this time with the rest of them, Bruno is the best (in my opinion) wish someone would write bruno for me but anyway back to the topic.

Carla:

“Hey Noah” she said as she stood near the glass window

She then groaned “hija de puta”

The glass then breaks as you take cover behind the trolly with the laptop sitting atop and Carla being sent flying across the room hitting the ground with force.

“Ok..so you aren’t here to make friends” Carla says and then turns to you “bebè stand back”

And with that you let her do what she needs to before you guys become nothing more then a pile of squished flesh and guts.

She lets out her rage to kill the bigger zombie before she turns and sees a bunch of Hazmat walkers trying to leap towards you.

She then charged towards them slashing and throwing them everywhere around you then she collapses.

You go to help her and she starts to eat the corpse in front of her..or at least the guts.

You try your best not to pile as Tisha walks in at the wrong time.

Oh no…this isn’t going to be good.

You watch as your lover went feral and attacked the person you guys had started a trust with…

Tisha struggles before kicking her off of her and shooting her with and arrow in the chest and then stood over her as she used her foot to drive arrow deeper into Carla’s chest

“I started to trust you” Tisha said..she sounded…heartbroken in a way, maybe she thought she had met more allies to work with in This damned world you now live in.

She left without saying a word when Lola appeared out of but fuck nowhere…yeah you still weren’t used to her presence.

“Check the blood drive” she said to the girl in her group that came with her.

“Tisha…messed her up real good” you said looking at Carla who has just opened her eyes

“(Y/N)” Carla groaned out as you knelt down.

“It’s ok Carl’s I’m here” you said as you held her and you looked back up at Lola

“Do you want to explain what the fuck just happened”

“She..uh..her powers made her fall hard” Lola told you

“What does that mean” you say

“It means that she finally wasn’t able to control herself in her rage mode..it’s kinda a side effect for Numen abilities “

Carla got up and so did you as you held each others hand as you begin to walk behind the door.

Carla turns around “will..I ever be human again”

Lola sighs “no..unfortunately..this is humanity 2.0”

With that the door slams behind you

“What the fuck just happened”….

Ryan:

You get sent flying back against the wall as you watch Ryan get angry at the zombie that caused it after he himself at just been knocked on his ass.

“You’re going to regret hurting my love you bitch” he seethed.

He went Crazy…yeah he was super angry. Well he normally got angry when you got hurt and that was fair enough.

He then uses his scream ability to knock the Z’s down and deliver the fatal blow.

Then he starts to get weird.

He eats the guts of his recent victim of his rampage while groaning like a zombie.

You were appalled “RYAN WHAT THE FUCK!!”

Tisha runs in looking around before being attacked by a still enraged Ryan.

She screams before she shoves him to the ground shooting an arrow and using every form of fighting to keep him on the ground.

After she’s done she leaves quickly and you kneel down

“Oh Ryan” you say heartbroken.

“H-honey” he says weakly as he places a hand on your cheek.

“Shhh I’m her just take it easy” you say kissing his forehead.

You hear footsteps and look up as Lola looks at you both on the ground “well isn’t this lovely”.

“Wh-what happened to me” Ryan asks scared.

“You finally lost control of yourself and there was nothing you could do” Lola says .

“What”you say.

“I’m sorry that you had to find out this way..we all needed help through this event”

You and Ryan then look at each other and walk out the door.

You didn’t know what was going on but you needed to get back to the Serling to find some answers from the doctor himself.

Truth be told you wouldn’t leave Ryan ever as he figure himself out.

Amy:

A smash could be heard through the room from shattered glass that littered the floor of the lab.

“You wanna fight huh…grrrrrr” Amy says to the mutated zombie as she goes into her rampage of rage.

You were passed out from hitting your head on the ground so you didn’t see or hear anything…

…until you regained consciousness as you saw her eating the corpse of a z.

You scream in horror as she turn to you and you moved as she launched at you.

Thankfully Tisha walks in and sees Amy on you before shooting her with an arrow causing her to fall as she kicks her and tackles her.

“I TRUSTED YOU!!” She yelled as she looked at you “hey are you ok”

You nod “yeah just a bit shocked”

“What the fuck was that “ she asked you

You shake your head “I…honestly don’t know..she’s never done that before in the rage…but anyway you should get going” you say

She nods “do you..want to come with? Only if you want to”

You smile “I think I’m gonna stay here with Amy…god poor thing won’t know what happened..thanks though tish”

She gives a small nod and leaves.

You check on Amy before Lola and her entourage come along

“Oh shit…she hit rock bottom” Lola mutters to the others behind her

“What’s happens from here” you say

She looks at you “ I…don’t know but I guess she just has to learn to control it from this point onwards.

Well that wasn’t really helpful

Amy stands up “will it happen again”

“Not unless you learn to control it and not let it take over.”

“Well thanks for the help” you say sarcastically to yourself.

You two go outside “ we need to get back to the doc”

“Couldn’t agree more love” Amy says as she pecks your lips.

Bruno:

“Bruno I think we need to leave” you say as the zombie bangs on the glass

“Relax mi amor it’s a just a zombie..nothing we haven’t ha-“

The zombie then mutates into a bigger zombie and Bruno’s face drops “-ndled”

The glass window smashed leaving you with cuts on your hands and arms and making you bleed a bit.

Bruno is sent to the ground “ madre de dios “.

It heads towards you and you back up panicked until you see Bruno charging towards in rage before killing it

“Grrrrrrr” he growls

He then turns to see zombies around you and he does what he has to; kill them all.

Once he is done he groans and collapses and then starts to feast on the bigger zombie he killed a few minutes prior.

Your were shocked until you see Tisha.

Your lover jumps on her trying to hurt her before she gets the upper hand and goes all badass on him.

Once she is done she looks at you and leaves abruptly.

You then burst into tears as you collapse beside Bruno who is in a semi coma.

He opens his eyes up to see you..his love upset and crying and without realising he strokes your tear stained cheek wiping away the tears and leaning up to kiss the others that fell.

“Don-n-n’t cry” he says. He himself freaking out on the inside not knowing if he hurt you.

“You hit rock bottom” Lola’s voice said and you both look up.

“What” Bruno says confused

“It means while you were in your rage you lost full control of yourself, your actions” Lola tells him

Bruno’s face falls as he looks at you

“It’s fucked up cataclysm shit that’s coming down the Numen line” Lola continues

But Bruno wasn’t listening..he was looking at YOU…did he hurt you? What if he actually did? How are you not scared of him after what happened?

You suddenly grab his hand leading him out of the lab and stopping at the front of the building.

“ Baby” you ask him as he snaps out of his trance which was fixed on you “what’s wrong”

“didihurtyou” he said really fast but you knew what he said.

“No you didn’t hon,let’s get back to the doctor and he will tell us what’s going on with you..I promise” you say

He smiles before pulling you close and passionately kissing your lips.

“Thank you for being by my side”

And that is it for this one I feel like I got a bit sloppy with these ones but I tried
