rise with me from the lol lore about the sun and moon (now divorced?) gays is so up my alley it’s almost scary.... not just the gay stuff but mostly the rest... the heated debates that get you in trouble, the scrupulous research, the doubts and the fear that they bring, the constant, passionate, relentless, meaningful reflection about but most importantly with what your ancestors have left written because they wrote it for you in a way. All of this, shared with another who may not agree but who gets it. Diana is happy to get to debate Leona in class, my god, what a nice detail that feels so true.

First he is going to be hella proud. Like it boots his ego when he knows you are walking around carrying his offspring. Anybody that’s laying their eyes on you knows you are pregnant and y’all must be pregnant by them because everyone knows you and him go together real bad. No question required. Plus he is so giddy about eventually having the proof of your love walking around. I am hearing : ‘’ Yeah … I did that. Remember when I told you I was going to marry her and give her babies’’. Not in a cocky way but a more loving and boastful way. Maybe you were always the type of person to never settle, that would run at the thought of committing to one man, you would just throw up at the thought of opening up to a penis… Now what do we have here: a wedding ring and a waddling mother. Y’all may be in your maneater era don’t worry babe … enjoy. Mother era is waiting to be unlocked. Plus they are extra horny for you. They want you whenever and however. If you guys have a BDSM or quite experimental relationship, good for you. You will wake up often with a tongue between your legs. Which to some point will actually annoy you because y’all may suffer from morning sickness. I see you standing hair in a perfect bun (important to mention because in all my vision your hair is tight up. Maye because you usually have your hair down … who knows) and you are complaining about all your pregnancy symptoms, especially the heat. I am channeling a summer pregnancy for a lot of y’all , whether it be your first or your last. He just out here staring at you like a vampire in need of blood because all he's thinking about is taking you to pound town. Warning to all my future plus size mama, is going to be even harder for you. Your man is going to be IN LOVE with that ass. Everytime he sees you walk away, he grows a little harder. ( I am serious, let's hold hands for all our plus size baddies … Amen). Also his heart is overflowing with love. I actually see him going crazy every time he sees a cute outfit. I am hearing : ‘’ Babe look at this … Omg soo cute. No look at this is fucking cuter … No baby baby look … it’s say - I HEART DADDY’’. You just stand there behind with a tight smile blaming your mom brain fog because you know to always skip the kids section. Now the 15 minutes run has become 30 minutes and your feet hurt already. A lot of rituals will be created and you better not take his place. He loves rubbing oil on your stomach and after making sure you are sleeping … he always makes sure to remind the baby to allow you to rest. Whatever you need he’s on it. You speak once and it’s done. You can’t handle meat during pregnancy … ok the whole house is now vegetarian. You can’t sleep … ok he is dealing with the morning shift of the household. You hate when people approach you and public … ok activated mean muggin husband. You want, you got it babes.

This news is going to bring you guys together. I don’t think there would be distance between y'all. But stress is winning in this relationship. You guys are both thriving in your profession and ego is getting the best of y’all. Like you both think that the other is not doing enough romantically and that you respectively are doing too much. Nothing extravagant nor toxic but the honeymoon is not honey no more. Still a lot of love but the focus is not it no more but more who is right. 
They are going to love seeing you work while being pregnant. Is important for you to go to work not because it is necessary just in your bones to work. So you want to do it until your body tells you to stop. They are going to support you to the best of their ability. They will prepare your outfit the night before, add belly cream in your bag, make sure to pack a healthy and big lunch for you and the baby, will try to always drop you off and pick you up from work. Lowkey giving house husband don’t be a fool he still very much a bossbabe himself because I can only picture him in suits. Y’all are definitely a power couple. Anyway he loves your dedication so he does everything he can to ensure the baby's protection and help achieve your goal. What’s wrong with y’all partner … they out here having the nastiest thoughts for all of you. First they are going to try to control their needs. I do think when y’all usually go at it … it gets pretty animalistic and they fucking love it. But they are trying to keep a distance between their thoughts and action but y’all are going to be needy and are going to ask for it. Not your men trying to keep it together while you are teasing him and you don’t give a fuck about it. I see y'all eating maybe at dinner with your friend and you ask ‘’ Are you going to fuck me tonight ?’’ Somebody is choking but your husband is unfazed.
 ‘’ I put my stiletto heels on today, you know how much they hurt my feet.
Babe I told you not to wear those’’, he adds while feeding you. ( By the way … y’all have a cute pouting face
But babeeee’’
The reality is he was actually scared to hurt the baby. He needs got darker and you’ve been needier and that’s a scary mix in his opinion.

Y’all are not in a committed relationship when this bundle of enjoy arrives in your life. 
Is going to be a life changing experience. Like theirs is clearly before the baby and after the baby in his life timeline. I think he was always serious about his feelings for you but was too scared to end up hurt that he would push you away subtly. Funny enough I would be the first to call bullshit, I ain't never been scared to do that … y’all know that. STAY is not giving bullshit. Is giving a broken boy. He is scared you are going to walk away in his life or that he is going to lose his mind 2 just like the people that were supposed to raise him but end up abusing him. He keeps you away to protect you and you know it. Something about y’all relationship, y’all are not together but everyone knows it is just to 2 of y’all. He doesn't talk to no other, he doesn't look at other girls, I don’t even think he interacts with any other girl but you. You are the only one he craves, wand, need and desire but he is too scared to break you. So you accept the no name relationship so he can slowly come to term with the fact that you are not going anywhere. Then a miracle knocks on the door. I can clearly see their mouths wide open when they are listening the baby's heart. Like they just have a life epiphany. You are laying on your back like a stick observing nervously their reaction because you want to keep it. They may walk in extremely nervous and a bit dismissive but the sec that they heard that baby … they are coming out the most confident man. They change forever. They used to be apathetic about life and now they are all about living each day like it is their last. They will do extra shifts at work to give you the dream experience. Babymoon, baecation, push present, being a SAHM, everything is given. They don’t play about their baby's health, they are coming at every baby appointment, they are asking all the damm questions. They also don’t want drama around you. You know when you are pregnant everybody becomes an adviser which can be quite annoying because fuck off this is my baby. I am hearing: ‘’ I don’t want to breastfeed but your mama- ‘’Fuck what my mama said. Do whatever you want (name)”. I can clearly hear them going on and on about how all they care is to make sure they 2 babies are always fulfilled.

Working in Madame Xanadu’s parlor and meeting Garfield Logan…
Tumblr media
Garfield Logan x Male Reader
Warnings: none
Summary: You get hired at Madame Xanadu’s Parlor and you end up meeting the several superheroes including a cute green haired boy…
(A/n: The story dosen’t take place in the Titans show, just your average dc fan universe.)
——
It all started when you were looking for a job, nothing fancy just something for a bit of pocket money. That’s when you stumbled by Madame Xanadu’s parlor where you noticed a ”Help Wanted” sign.
You looked at it for a bit. ”Am i really considering working in a fortune telling parlor…” you thought to yourself. You then decided why the hell not.
So you entered the parlor where a beautiful woman in a colorful dress was standing behind a counter. She looked at you and said ”I’ve been waiting for you”. Which left you a bit confused.
”Do you mean in like a psychic fortune teller way or did you just see me looking at the ”Help Wanted” sign through the window?” you questioned. ”Both” she answered. ”Cool” you stated and then asked ”So what sorta help are you looking for? Cause honestly i don’t know much about fortune telling”.
”Well, I’m a very busy woman so i am simply looking for someone to manage the shop, book appointments, clean and whatever else is needed” she explained. ”I could do that, i used to help my mom at her hair salon, you know sweep up hair, take care of appointments and everything” you told her.
”You’re hired” she said simply. Little did you know that you had started working for an actual fortune teller and a member of Justice League.
But it soon dawned on you as people like Wonder Woman, John Constantine and Zatanna stopped by for Madame Xanadu’s assistance. You also noticed that several objects in the parlor had actual magic powers.
Other than the magical boss, the superpowered customers and powerful magic objects and potions, it wasn’t that different from working in any other store. And fortune telling being a very niche market gave you some of free time, during which you would usually study or read a magzine.
One afternoon you were sitting behind the reception desk studying for a test when two people entered the store. A goth girl and a cute guy with green hair. They walked towards the desk and the girl asked in a slightly stressed tone ”Is Madame Xanadu here?”.
”Do you have an appointment?” you asked. ”No but it’s really important, is she here?” the girl asked again. ”Yeah, i can go see if she has time, do you have a name i can give her?” you asked. ”Rachel Roth” she said and you went in to Madame Xanadu’s fortune telling room.
Meanwhile Rachel and Gar, outside…
”That guy is kinda cute” Gar said making Rachel give him a look that said ”not the time we’re here for important stuff”.
Back to you…
She was sitting on the floor meditating. ”Uhm… Madame Xanadu, there’s a girl here named Rachel Roth, she says it’s something important, do you have time now or should i get her an appointment?” You asked.
”Send her in” Madame Xanadu said opening her eyes. You exited her room and went back to the recteption and said ”Madame Xanadu is waiting for you inside”. The girl uttered a quick ”Thanks” and went inside to meet with the fortune teller.
You went back to studying as the green haired guy looked around the parlor. He then stood himself in front of you and asked ”What are you reading? Somekind of spellbook? Or like potions book?”.
You lifted the book and showed him the cover and answered ”American history, i’m studying for a test”. ”That’s cool too” he said blushing a little. You then realised something ”Wait? you know about magic and all that stuff are you and your friend like wizards?”.
”Uhm… no but my friend is a half demon who was raised by magic monks” he explained. You nodded in understanding. You were about to continue the conversation when Madame Xanadu and Rachel suddenly came out of the room. Rachel having changed in to a cloak.
”Y/n. Me and Rachel need to travel to a magic temple to retrive a powerful artifact, I need you to look after the parlor. If i’m not back by closing time, just lock up, the key is on my desk” she told you. ”Yes, ma’am” you answered casually.
”Gar, you need to stay here” Rachel said. ”What? Why” the green haired boy questioned. ”You won’t be able to survive in there without magic so it’s best you stay here” Rachel explained and using magic to open a portal. The two magical women went through the portal and it closed as quick as it had opened.
You looked at Gar and asked ”Wanna go get some take out? There is a great place close by?”. ”Do they have good vegetarian stuff?” Gar asked. You nodded and the two of you went out.
You came back about 20 minutes later and sat down in the parlor and ate. Gar told you that he and Rachel aka Raven were part of the Teen Titans. You then explained to him how, you an average human ended up working the reception desk for a magic sorceress.
After you finished your meals Gar helped you get some studying done for your history test. Then you and him did some cleaning around the store. Once you finished the two of you sat down and talked for while, Gar even showed off his powers.
Eventually a portal opened and Madame Xanadu and Raven returned, Raven carrying some sort of weird probably magical mask. She and Gar started getting ready to leave. Gar turned to you and said ”I had a really good time tonight”.
”Me too, thanks for the help with studying and the cleaning” you said gratefully. ”No worries, anytime” he said and noticed a pen and a notepad on the desk. He took them and scribbled something down. ”Here, it’s my number in case you ever need more help studying or anything” he said handing you the note.
”Thanks” you said and Gar started walking towards the exit, you gave each other a wave goodbye. Madame Xanadu gave you a knowing look and offered ”If you want, I could get you a tarrot reading on where THAT is heading”. ”No thanks, i’d rather just wait and see what happens” you said and started getting ready to go home.
Once you got your history test back with a great big ol’ ”A” written on it you sent a text to Gar saying ”Got an A! Thanks for being a great study buddy”. A little while later Gar texted back saying ”Good job! Happy to help. What’s up next? Maybe chemistry? ;)”.

well, that was bitterly disappointing to the depths of my soul.
yes, I'm talking about Tech.
he deserved better. the BATCH deserved better. OMEGA deserved better.
I don't like the way they basically just erased any and all grief for Tech except for a couple of fucking off-hand mentions that barely whetted the appetite for more of the only character I really identified with
because I'm the info dumping autistic guy in my irl groups
and to see him shuffled off in the manner they used was a fucking insult
and to be teased about it by the show creators
or worse, harassed by the bad lot of Star Wars fans
and to kill off their autistic guy who DEFINITELY had chemistry and the first hints of flirty bonding with a Black woman is a bad look, v bad look
imo they botched the whole finale, not just the Tech thing because like look:
I guess this zillo beast is just gonna live on that planet now, instead of getting involved in the story they had it fuck off to the jungle - what
CX-2? who was he? too bad we'll never know because he was dropped before he was identified
it was shot so dark, everything was hard to see, and mind you my television set is especially tuned for it to NOT be dark because I hate that shit, I am going to be forced to watch it again despite not wanting to so I can listen to the audio descriptions and better understand the fights
they totally dropped Omega's force sensitivity stuff, like I wanted to know more about that, and about the other kids, will they even be safe? cause we know the empire keeps stealing force sensitive kids
speaking of those kids, what even was the point? the research was destroyed yet we know project necromancer is eventually successful or maybe they're retconning that too, who knows, all the rules are off the table and nothing matters
writing was inconsistent for an episode meant to be important
Crosshair did not deserve to have his hand cut off. I know prosthetics are "easier" and "more accessible" in this universe but also I don't give a fuck, just insult to injury and more, this man has suffered enough from the moment they jacked his chip up to 11
back to Tech: they spent so much time being cute little shits about him that his return seemed inevitable, as I watched the season I kept counting down time left for him to show up, and I had hopes all the way through until the first fade to black, only to be bitterly reminded of his death with the goggles in Omega's ship
--
two highlights I did enjoy - Omega and Hunter at the end, making me wonder if there will be a show about Omega set during the rebellion or if she'll show up in The Mandalorian or Ahsoka
Nala Se killing the shit out of rampart as she herself died, thank you Nala Se
but overall UGH, I will be tender from this one for awhile, I almost want to cancel Disney+ until I feel able to watch Star Wars stuff again
might write some fix-it fic, I'm too hurt right now tho
I'm commiserating with the rest of you who seem to have much the same reaction to this disaster of a finale
so yeah, we all deserved better, fictional folks and real folks and zillo beasts alike

Can you please type a story of reader smothering Ben in kisses to try get him to talk after a fake argument/mock fight? Like fighting after reader teasing him?
Too Many Kisses to Stay Mad - Ben Shelton
Tumblr media
It started out as just harmless teasing, like it always does. We were sitting on the couch after dinner, the TV on in the background, when Ben launched into another story about his practice session. I couldn’t help myself, he was always talking about tennis, and I’d spent the whole meal listening to stats, strategies, and match recaps.
“So let me get this straight,” I interrupted, trying to keep a straight face. “You spent the entire afternoon talking to your coach about… the angle of your serve?”
Ben paused, mid-sentence, giving me a confused look. “Yeah? It’s important. The right angle can—”
“Oh, I know, it’s crucial,” I said, exaggerating my voice like some sort of sports commentator. “Because clearly, that’s the most fascinating thing in the world to talk about when you’re home, relaxing, with your girlfriend.”
His brow furrowed as he picked up on the teasing tone. “Are you making fun of me?”
I grinned, biting my lip. “Never,” I said with faux innocence, leaning in like I was about to be serious. “I’m just saying… maybe we could talk about something else for a change? Like how cute my new outfit is, or how amazing I am at Mario Kart.”
Ben’s lips twitched, fighting a smile. “I talk about other stuff.”
I gasped, dramatically clutching my chest. “Other stuff? Besides tennis? I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.”
His eyes narrowed, but the smirk was already forming. “Alright, alright. You’re asking for it.”
“Oh no,” I laughed, sliding away as he reached for me, “what are you gonna do? Lecture me about the importance of racket tension?”
Ben lunged, pinning me to the couch as I squirmed beneath him, laughing. “You better apologize before I go full tennis nerd on you.”
“Never!” I gasped between giggles, trying to wriggle free. “You’ll never make me!”
“Okay, fine,” he said, sitting up with a mock frown. “You’re on your own now. I’m not talking to you. Ever again.”
I sat up too, catching my breath and raising an eyebrow. “Really? Not talking to me, huh? You think you can keep that up?”
Ben crossed his arms and turned his face away dramatically. “I’m dead serious. You’re cut off.”
I tried to suppress a laugh, but the fake sulking was too much. “Oh, come on. Don’t be like that. It was just a little teasing.”
He remained silent, his face stoic, but I could see the corner of his mouth twitching. He was holding back a smile.
“Alright,” I said, standing up and brushing off my clothes. “I see how it is. Guess I’ll just have to… make you talk.”
His eyes darted towards me for a split second, his curiosity piqued, but he quickly looked away again. I took that as my cue.
Without warning, I jumped back onto the couch, tackling him into the cushions and smothering his face with kisses. “Kiss attack!” I declared, planting kisses all over his cheeks, his nose, his forehead, anywhere I could reach.
Ben squirmed beneath me, trying to fend me off, but he was laughing now, the mock argument completely forgotten. “Stop! You’re—this is cheating!”
“Not until you talk to me!” I said between kisses, refusing to let up. “Come on, just say something.”
He let out a muffled laugh, grabbing my wrists to try and stop me, but I was too quick. “Okay, okay!” he finally gasped, barely able to breathe from laughing. “You win!”
I sat back, grinning down at him, victorious. “That’s what I thought.”
Ben shook his head, his chest still heaving from laughter. “You’re ridiculous.”
“And yet,” I said, leaning in close, my lips brushing against his, “you’re still with me.”
He sighed dramatically, but the affection in his eyes was undeniable. “Yeah, I guess I am.”
I moved to kiss him again, this time softer, slower, and he responded instantly, his hands slipping around my waist to pull me closer. For a moment, the teasing faded into something warmer, something more real. I could feel his heart racing beneath my palm as he deepened the kiss, and when we finally pulled away, he was smiling.
“You know,” he said, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear, “you didn’t have to kiss me a hundred times to get me to talk.”
I shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant. “I know. But where’s the fun in that?”
He chuckled, his hands still resting on my waist. “Fair point. But next time, I’m not letting you win so easily.”
“Oh, please,” I teased, leaning back with a playful smirk. “You couldn’t resist me if you tried.”
Ben tilted his head, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Wanna bet?”
Before I could respond, he flipped us over, pinning me beneath him this time, his grin widening as I let out a surprised yelp. “Payback time,” he said, leaning in close, his voice low.
But instead of kissing me, he hovered just inches away, his breath warm against my skin. I waited, my heart racing, but he stayed right there, not moving.
“Ben,” I whispered, biting my lip. “You’re killing me here.”
“Am I?” he asked, his voice full of amusement. “I thought you wanted to talk.”
I rolled my eyes, my hands sliding up his chest. “Fine, let’s talk.”
He chuckled, finally closing the distance and kissing me again, this time with a little more intensity. His hands roamed over my sides, pulling me closer, and all thoughts of teasing and mock fights melted away.
When we eventually broke apart, both of us breathless, Ben rested his forehead against mine. “Okay, maybe you’re right,” he admitted, his voice softer now. “I can’t resist you.”
“Told you,” I murmured, my fingers playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. “But you can keep trying. I don’t mind.”

WIP Zutara Month Challenge: Accidental Kisses
This one, I have a cute idea as well. And I have a snippet for this one.
So this one I have been slow working on because I had the idea then lost it but now I can make it slowly but the idea is as following:
After The Southern Raiders, Zuko has been able to help Katara around more but noticing she looks more tired than usual. He finds her and she confesses, after nearly collapsing on to the ground. He caught her and after some time of talking, she tells him that she has been trouble sleeping and was only able to sleep when they were close in the Cave (Shocker I know)
But Zuko then offers to make a little blanket cave for them to help feel a bit more relaxing for her. Especially with the feeling of cuddling with someone.
The following snippet is of Katara thinking of thanking Zuko - while a little sleep deprived but also feeling a bit honest with her heart:
Katara bit her lips as she looked at Zuko as he was pointing out to the stars from their little blanket cave that looked up at the sky. She could see the sincerity in his eyes and he seemed eager to tell her the story but all she wanted was to show her how much she appreciated his efforts. And more so, she could not deny that he was looking rather handsome in the softer moon light.
'I... i want to give him a kiss,' she thought. 'But just on the cheek. Yeah, that is safe. And I am sure he will understand. I mean it is not too much, hopefully he understands.'
Katara moved closer as she took a breath and leaned up to kiss his cheek.
But Zuko turned to her as he said something "Anyway, hope I didn't bore -"
His sentence was cut short as his lips were met with Katara's lips as she had her eyes closed. Zuko stilled as he looked at her softly, waiting for her to make a move as he did not want to embarrass her. But a traitorous part of his heart and mind wanted to give in and kiss her back. Her lips states like sea salt and a bit chapped but he liked how soft the the kiss was on his lips.
Soon Katara opened her eyes as she looked and realized what she had did. She pulled away and blushed hard. "Oh Spirits! So so so so so sorry Zuko. I was just trying to give you a kiss on the cheek. I was not trying to kiss you creepily. I promise I am not like that," She tried to explain but pulled the sheets over her head.
Zuko only watched, confused but also feeling his heart gushing over Katara being flustered for some reason. He blames his traitorous heart still doing back flips from the kiss. But he realized he took too long to say something as he cleared his throat. "It's okay, I know you are not like that. I am sorry as well," he said.
Katara looked at him from under the sheets. "What are you sorry for? I was the one that kissed you without permission."
"Yes, but I did not pull away or answer your kiss back," he said softly as he sat up a little to rub the back of his neck, his face was turning red. "A gentleman is always taught to respect the lady, but also that kisses are important, especially with how important a kiss is. And I figured you were trying to just say thanks but I did not pull away either and accepted the kiss."
Katara looks up at him. "Does kissing mean something different for your people?"
"Not any more different than what it might be for others, but that just... a kiss on the lips feels more personal. And intimate than what a man like me should expect."
"A man like you?" She was curious as she sat up with him.
"A man that is... well digraced in more than just his looks," he said as he shied way away from his face as Zuko's scared side was on the other side.
Katara looked at him softly as she sees now what he meant. She reached up and turned his face to her as her hand touched his scar; caressing his face in her touch as she smiled softly at him. "From what I can see, you are more than honorable than anyone I have met, and certainly more gentleman like. Nothing can change or should make you feel ashamed of it."
Zuko was stunned as blushed then somehow seemed to lean into her hand more to feel it. He smiled brightly at her. "Thanks," he said.
Katara smiled more as she sighed before saying something, but she could feel her exhaustion hitting. Probably a good time to avoid talking about the kiss more. "Well, I should sleep. I should let you go as well."
Zuko raised his eyebrow at her as he smirked. "Weren't you the one that said that you wanted me to cuddle with you to help you sleep again?"
"That was then and this is now, and I just don't want you to feel weird with me," she tried to say, feeling her cheeks heat again.
But Zuko chuckled as he leaned back. "Who said I didn't like the kiss?"
Katara turned to him as she was the one stunned this time. She looked at him with more hopeful eyes as he undid his best to feel a little more comfortable, but looked ready to sleep with her. Katara slowly leaned down into his chest as she sighed and looked happier.
"So... you did not mind the kiss?" Katara asked.
"Not at all, it was... rather sweet, just like you," he said softly as he pulled her into him.
That is all I have for now, subject to change and tweak but hope you like it!

Policing the streets wasn’t nearly as hard of a job and Steve thought it would be when he first joined the force. Sure there was actual detective work that needed to be done out in the world, but that wasn’t what Steve was out doing this night. No no. Steve was on ‘crowd control’ at the local bar to make sure no one was causing too much trouble or getting into their cars when they had too much to drink. An important job on paper, sure, but most people in town were sensible enough to get an uber or at the very least bat their eye lashes at officer Harrington and ask for a ride home in the cop car. All things considered, this was a pretty fun part of the job. More fun than passing out speeding tickets that is.
Steve was looking over the crowd of smokers outside the bar, silently wishing that he was one of them when someone with a bright flash on their phone came up to him.
“Oh Mister Officer.” The stranger sang at him as he pointed the flash at him.
Okay what the fuck?
Steve was no stranger to being filmed. There was a lot of paranoia now a days when it came to cops, which was whatever. It wasn’t like Steve was doing anything he had to be worried about anyway. He could be filmed. But he wasn’t really used to hot men getting in his face with a camera. This could be fun.
“Name and badge number.” The stranger commanded with an easy grin.
Steve laughed softly, clearly happy with the attention from the stranger. “My name and badge number?”
“Sir yes sir! Name and badge number.” Hot guy chimed. Oh he was so making fun of Steve. Steve was into it.
“Harrington. 5327.” Steve smiled running a hand through his hair, giving the stranger an easy smile. I his move had gotten him in plenty of bedrooms before. It was tried and true.
“Good boy.”
Steve let out a choked laugh, clearly a bit caught off guard by the pet name. The… compliment? Yeah that was a compliment. Steve’s crooked smile grew right back onto his lips. “Oh am I?” He asked, folding his arms over his chest, leaning back against the wall.
The stranger didn’t respond for a moment, waiting to see if he could get more of a reaction out of Steve before his recording ended. Hot guy laughed as he put his phone into his pocket.
“So…” Steve started, not quite ready to let go of this conversation. “You do that to all cops or just the ones you think are cute?”
“Cute? That’s funny. Your reaction? Not so much. Usually cops get a lot more big bad wolf over me doing that,” He answered. “You’re more like the brick house that won’t get blown down.”
Steve laughed brightly. This guy was funny. “Is that your way of telling me I look built?” Steve teased, only flexing his muscles slightly from where they were folded over his chest.
“Is that what you heard when I said that just now?” The stranger asked him, no teased, him with a raised brow.
“What’s your name?” Steve asked.
“Why? You wanna put me under arrest?” He asked.
“No.” Steve replied.
The stranger laughed, pulling out his pack of cigarettes and lighter. “I don’t have to tell you anything, 5326.”
Steve laughed brightly. “27.” He corrected.
“5327.” He repeated, placing the cigarette between his lips.
“Can I bum one?” Steve asked.
“I don’t share with pigs.” He replied as he lit his cigarette.
“Thought I was supposed to be the big bad wolf in your story.” Steve laughed flatly.
“You can be both.”
“You’ve got a funny way of flirting.” Steve told him.
The hot stranger shook his head. He looked like he didn’t entirely hate how forward Steve was being thought. Steve bit his lip before speaking again. “What are you up to tonight?” He asked, trying to push the conversation a little bit further.
“I don’t sleep with pigs either, Harrison.”
“Harrington.” Steve corrected. “A little flirting never hurt anyone.”
The stranger raised an eyebrow. “Yeah but more than a few cops have.” He said flatly. “Have the night you deserve officer.” He called out before walking away.
Steve laughed and shook his head, watching as he walked away. He was going to be thinking about this stranger for the rest of the night, that was for sure. It turns out Steve would be thinking about that stranger everyday, until his friend Dustin introduced him to his friend Eddie Munson. Dustin had apparently worked very hard to keep them apart given Eddie’s very loud hatred of cops and Steve being well…
Steve could still win him over, right?

Hey there! 😉
For your one-word prompt:
Softie
(That story is so good btw!!!)
Years post-Won't somebody.
Jake scoffs. "I'm not."
Natasha raises one perfectly plucked eyebrow, tilting her head with glee. "You very much are, Seresin. We had you figured out long ago."
"That's basically heresy, Phoenix. We all know I don't have those pesky, squishy feelings."
Natasha laughs. "Tell that to your niece and her big brown eyes. She's got you wrapped around her tiny little fingers."
Jake glares at her. As always, Natasha just holds his gaze until he gives in. He looks down at his glittery pink nails. "Ok, fine. Fine! Maybe I am a softie, Phoenix. Sue me!" He shakes his head, looking around the door jamb at Javy's mini-me who is waiting for him to join her at her tea party, already pouring imaginary liquid into a tiny little tea cup. Her plush tiger is eyeing him with a judgy sneer. He sighs. "She got that from Maria. I am incapable of saying no to a Machado lady."
Phoenix cups his biceps in her hand and squeezes. "I won't tell your secret, Bagman."
Jake meets her eyes. "I know."
Phoenix winks and with a playful shove pushes him over the threshold into Lizzy's bedroom. She laughs as she makes her way downstairs, returning to the party the adults are having downstairs. Jake is not jealous at all. He can stare at his fiancé all day every day if he wants to. Just because Rooster is wearing the black button-down Jake got him for his birthday and looks absolutely delectable doesn't mean he won't give his favorite -and so far only- niece the best tea party hosting experience she's ever had. What little Lizzy Machado wants, she gets. Her uncle will see to that.
"Uncle Jaaaake," Lizzy sighs, patience not a trait she inherited from her dad.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." He plops down on a tiny chair at the tiny table, his knees halfway to his ears. "Now you better have left me some cake, Miss Elizabeth. I'm not sharing with Mr. Tiger again!"
Lizzy giggles. "There's no cake, silly!"
"There's not? I thought this was a proper tea party?" He takes the pink plastic crown Lizzy hands him unasked and puts it on his head.
He watches her pull something out from beneath the table and the next moment she brandishes a silvery sleeve of Oreos at him. "There's these!" she says proudly.
Jake bites down on a laugh and squints down at her. "Did you sneak those from Mommy's sweets reserve again, little lady? You know she gets cravings."
"Nooooo. Uncle Bradley gave them to me."
"Oh, he did. Did he?"
"Uh huh. Now sh!" She shushes him with a finger to her mouth. She can be glad she's cute. "Mr. Tiger wants to tell his story!"
"Oh, alright. What shenanigans has Mr. Tiger gotten into this time?"
"Mr. Tiger and Mr. Bear are engaged!"
"They are?"
"Yes. Mr. Bear proposed and Mr. Tiger said yes."
"That's lovely. They do make a stunning couple."
Lizzy nods enthusiastically. "Mr. Tiger and Mr. Bear say they want to marry on June 17th."
"Is that right."
"Uh huh."
"That happens to be the date Uncle Jake and Uncle Bradley are getting married, too. What a coincidence!"
"I know!"
Jake holds out his little tea cup for her to pour air into.
"Mr. Bear says I can be flower girl at their wedding."
Jake bites down on a grin. "Aw. That's too bad, Liz. Uncle Bradley and I wanted to ask you to be our flower girl." He makes a show of pouting. "Maybe we can ask your brother to take on these important duties?"
Lizzy looks up, eyes wide. "I can be flower girl at both weddings!" she hurries to say.
"Yeah?"
She stands up and comes around the table, nodding her head. Jake receives her into the cuddle she's no doubt aiming for.
"Oh. Phew!" Jake wipes invisible sweat off his forehead. "That's great, Lizzy. You can be flower girl at Mr. Tiger and Mr. Bear's wedding and then at ours."
"I want a pretty dress! Like Mommy!"
"The prettiest dress."
"Pinky promise?" she holds out her little finger and Jake can't refuse a Machado woman's big brown eyes if he tried to, so he hooks his little finger around hers. "Pinky promise."

Baby girl of all time ( aq ) . And also maybe xy and jacket of hlm fame but u can separate / choose just 1 from the 3 if u want,
oh shit okay let's Go
Tumblr media
First impression: "Oh shit what the hell happened to her. Also WOW WAIT A GIRL"
Impression now: Baby girl who I will protect with my LIFE. I love drawing and writing her and really need to do it more often, I found deep solace in her design since I'd come from Hotline Miami and one of the characters I drew most also has this fringe, so she's very satisfying for me to draw... I just love how she is a complete gremlin with a rude mouth who gets all cute when she's around someone she likes and wants to be in the good graces of... She is my little schemer angel
Favorite moment: This is audio drama only and may be a false memory but she and Xue Yang are doing their bickering and he's like "alright shortie!" and she's like "STINKY!" and it was just very important to me that she said that
Idea for a story: As well as the story I suggested for Song Lan, I'm going to show my ass here and say that I've been playing around with an Arcane AU for a hot minute now LOL I really want her to just go crazy and be powerful, you know? It's not super in line with what I usually do with her or see her but I just... Want to indulge. And what are AUs for if not that. So yeah! Jinx A-Qing, growing up in the underbelly of a toxic city and stealing from the surface with her older brother. It could be so good. Especially with everything else Arcane has going on
Unpopular opinion: I genuinely don't think I have one? I just wish she were in more stuff because like I said before everyone in the arc is of equal importance. Nothing would happen without all four of them
Favorite relationship: It's hers with Xue Yang. I'm sorry. It is. You know it, everyone knows it. Like Xue Yang with Song Lan, it's the what if for me. They're crazy sibling coded whether they like it or not and the way they bounce off each other is delightful for me to write and draw. They're both street rat gremlins and they deserve to mouth off at each other, and I also endlessly long for a world in which they actually have each other's backs. I love them so much it's unreal I can't go into too much detail or I'll start crying
Favorite headcanon: Hmmm that's a really good Q. I kinda just roll with these guys any which way so it's hard to pinpoint, but I guess my favorite thing that I do is give her a green scarf she never takes off in modern AUs because it was a gift from her brother (: But that's... not really a headcanon aksdjfg OH OH! I really like the one that her mother taught her to lie and pretend to be blind before her passing
Tumblr media
First impression: "Man this guy fucking sucks he's annoying as shit. When does this part of the story end I literally could not care less"
Impression now: WELP I could spend literal hours talking about all my thoughts and feelings for this little shit but the summarized version for the sake of everyone is He sucks he's annoying as shit and I love him so much. He's super important to me on like a personal level so I am peak annoying about him yaaay
Favorite moment: It's hard to really have a favorite moment for a character who is admittedly rather difficult to follow along, due to the Behaviors, but I like his helicopter blade spin and fun little skipping in CQL, I like his backflips and "I need to get back before it rains" in the donghua (that second one for emotional reasons), I like him staring numbly after receiving candy in the manhua and in the novel I think it's him putting fresh straw in A-Qing's coffin while he waits for his life to magically fix itself
Idea for a story: Since I've covered another few involving him already, I'll share one idea that I would really love to write someday but that I just never get around to... Xue Yang tests the nails on himself to see just how much he can get away with (aka seeing if they can work on the living), effectively giving himself amnesia. He's found by Song Lan, hell-bent on revenge for his temple, but Song Lan cannot kill someone who doesn't remember his crimes. Memory restoring roadtrip ensues. It would be so fun (and also not!) for me to write...
Unpopular opinion: I don't need to write this one out lmao
Favorite relationship: If you've been reading the others I've answered, you'll know it's basically a tie between A-Qing and Song Lan. I just. There's so much that could happen between them. So much good, fun, terrible stuff for me to explore. Song Lan took up most of the space because he's just the favorite guy, really, and he alone makes me feral, but I love the gremlin-off that he has with A-Qing as stated above... And I mean yeah, Xiao Xingchen too, but it doesn't tickle my brain as much as the other two ): maybe because we saw a lot of it already in canon so there's not a lot for me to do there and my brain demands puzzle assembly to the maximum. Honestly, all relationships he has in canon are intriguing and worthy of exploration, but those initial two are my top picks
Favorite headcanon: TRANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
First impression: "Is this guy ok" Impression now: This guy is definitely not ok. But that's fine. I'm here for him, I'm here to help him get out of the nationalistic toxic mindset. Take my hand it'll be alright Jacket you need not suffer anymore
Favorite moment: Definitely him rescuing Ms Girl from her abusive situation (which was also a building full of recently deceased people JDHFJHF) and taking her home and making sure she was okay, by a phone in case she wanted to call someone, on the couch so she'd have her own space, all bundled up with a blanket and a bucket nearby...
Idea for a story: I fear most of my HLM juice is depleted after dedicating so much of my life to it, but it might be nice to write something about him and his time in the military with his Special Ops tm. See how he was dealing with all that on a psychological level (hint: not well)
Unpopular opinion: He's only selectively mute, but has a bit of a speech impediment and talks slowly like Wen Ning lJHDJKFJ
Favorite relationship: Aside from him and his girlfriend, which sort of cemented my kind of love for ships in which partners are of similar personalities and full of boundless patience and adoration for each other, it's him and his best friend (so historians say) from his army days, who he still dreams about constantly and who he's shown to care enough about to go on a whole revenge killing spree for. That man saved his life and he was unable to do the same and it clearly kills him inside
Favorite headcanon: The speech impediment thing tbh and the idea that he's actually got these sad, gentle eyes under the scary chicken mask

Road to 4☆TOWN
part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5
“Oh, my mom is calling.” T looked at his phone. “I guess she doesn’t think I sleep.”
“That’s because you don’t.” Taeyoung reminded him.
“Hi, Mami. Do you know what time it is over here?” T said as he answered the phone.
“Oh right. I forgot about the time zones.” Catalina facepalmed. “I’m sorry, mijo. I hope I didn’t wake you.”
“Well, you know how I don’t sleep. At least that’s what Taeyoung says.” Aaron nudged him. “You had a date tonight, right?”
“Yeah, I did. In fact, Megan’s here right now.” Catalina said with a big smile. “She actually asked me to call you cuz she wanted to talk.”
“Really?” Aaron grinned. “Cool, put her on.”
“Aaron, I’m gonna go put on some toner and then get rid of you.” Taeyoung said before wandering into the bathroom.
Aaron waved absentmindedly in response. “Hey, Megan. How’s it going?”
“Aaron, I need to talk to you. And forgive me for whispering, your mom has really good ears.” Megan whispered into the phone. “I wanted to ask for your permission to marry your mother.”
Aaron paused. “You what?”
“I know it’s old fashioned, but it would be a huge change for both of you. And…I really wanna marry her.” Megan admitted quietly.
“Ohmigosh, yes! I’ve been waiting for this.” Aaron’s eyes got wide. “When are you gonna do it? Tonight? Right now?”
“I don’t have a ring yet, silly.” Megan chuckled. “I wanna buy her the prettiest ring I can afford, so I’m gonna have to save up. But I wanted to give you a heads up beforehand.”
“Awww, you’re so sweet.” He sighed. “You’re gonna make the coolest step-mom. EEP!”
“Kay, I’m ready to kick you out.” Taeyoung came back into the room. “It’s late and you need a head start on falling asleep.”
“Is that the little man?” Megan asked. “I wanna talk to him, too.”
“Yeah, yeah, he’s here.” Aaron waved Taeyoung over. “It’s Megan. She wants to speak with you.”
“The hell…?” Taeyoung furrowed his brow. “Why?”
“JUST TALK TO HER!” Aaron whisper-yelled, shoving the phone to Taeyoung’s ear.
“Oh, uh, hi Megan. Aaron said you wanted to talk to me?” Taeyoung said awkwardly.
“Little man! Awesome to hear your voice.” Megan greeted him. “I was calling to ask you both for your permission to propose to Catalina. I know you’re pretty close and I wanted to include you.”
Taeyoung was quiet as he noticed the strange feeling in his chest. “Thanks for including me, Megan. I appreciate that.” He cleared his throat. “A-Anyway, you guys make a really cute couple, so you have my blessing.”
“Yes!” Megan cheered. “Oh, you guys are the best.”
“Well, if that’s all—”
“Wait, don’t hang up.” Megan ran around the apartment in search of Catalina. “I’m gonna pass the phone back to Catalina. I’m sure she wants to talk to you.”
“Right, right…” Taeyoung sat on his bed beside Aaron. “My best friend’s mom and my best friend’s mom’s girlfriend wanna talk to me.” He sighed and rested his head on Aaron’s shoulder.
Aaron looked at him. “You okay, Tae-Tae? Something you wanna talk about?”
“What? No, of course not.” Taeyoung jumped back up. “In fact, I can’t talk to you right now. Your mom’s on the phone.” He walked away awkwardly. “Hey, Catalina…”
———
I’m back! Thank you all so much for your patience🫶🏾 A month ago today, I lost someone very important to me, but after taking time just to focus on celebrating her life and visiting my qpp to unwind, I am finally ready to resume the story. Hope you’re all as excited as I am😁

Hello, hope you're doing well lovely and thank you for another tarot giveaway (again, no pressure into picking me). My question is guess about who? 😆 yeah my specific person aka the only man my soul desires to connect with and I'd like to know more about our connection. This time I won't be on anon 😂
Q: "What is the deepest emotion or feeling that my special/specific person (💙) has towards me?" (I feel like he intuitively knows me better than anyone even if we haven't had a face to face contact yet, but I let you, your/our guides and your cards speak✨)
As for your quest, this may sound corny but the character Goku from Dragon Ball makes me feel inspirational and hopeful. Because he is part of my childhood so is my comfort character and I love it how he always tries to better himself and not undertimate challenges but still being confident in his own capacities. Yes, he fights a lot of enemies but behind that power there's a tender heart, he cares a lot about his family even tho sometimes doesn't seem so lol but is clear he wants to protect them and also about his friends. Also, I love it how in the long run he sees his enemy more as a friend who needs his help even though this friend doesn't want to admit it bec of his big ego but even him deep down cares about his beloveds and he once sacrificed himself for Goku's son and everytime I see this scene I cry like when I was a kid. Goku always lets his ego on the side instead. It's sad how this show is criticized because considered 'violent' but in reality it hides really deep and important messages, very human and spiritual like it was the one who drew the Manga.
Thank you so much, regardless 🙏💙💙 - a.r.
♡ giveaway winner - 2/5 ♡
hello ar! aww! i am doing well, honey! how about you? how are you, honey? i hope well! and aww! you know i never mind getting a question from you about your special person! it's too cute!!!
ooh goku is such a good pick! i can totally understand how you feel! a lot of people want to assume that db/dbz/so on are all about fighting and violence but the true story is about positivity and hope! it's about not backing down to challenges! and making friends with your enemy! omg! yes! goku is such a good role model! i think what i love the most about goku is how he is not afraid to be tender with the ones he loves and fierce in their protection or in the face of adversary! eee! it's so good! i don't know how many times goku has been an inspiration for me! especially with his old voice actor kirby morrow! i hear that voice as goku and i just feel this great sense of hope and faith that i can't even begin to really describe! but i will say i have always looked up to bulma! her brains! her creativity! her tenaciousness! and let's not get into how i ship these two... lolol
for you, i got the world, 10 of swords & the sun.
interesting. right now the strongest and deepest emotions that they have for you are bitterness, exhaustion and ruin. so they are feeling tired and a little run down right now. it's like they keep feeling "like they're losing so much time" when it comes to you, honey! so they're feeling a bit lost without you right now and it's a bit hard on them... but but but! they are also surrounded by your love is the real interesting part here! so it's like they feel tired and listless, yet they know your love is waiting on them and ready to surround them! so it's like a waiting and healing game right now where they are dealing with their annoyances and frustrations while waiting for your love to "come my way" is what i heard. it's really giving that they are trying to finish up the journey they are already on so they don't have to be "miles away, miles away" from you. because it's like they know you are coming for them but until then it feels like "they're dying from the inside out". so their emotions are hard on them right now but they do know the light and your sun is coming for them as well! it's giving the princess up in the tower waiting for her fair knight to come along! lol it's hard on them!
hope you enjoyed it! please give feedback or buy me a coffee/tip when you can! if you want to explore this further, please also consider a private read. also thank you for sharing with me!♡
love & light!

Ellis Twilight — Secret In Your Heart Collection Event
Ellis’s Secret
Tumblr media
I do not own any contents of Ikemen Villains. This story being uploaded in this blog belongs solely to CYBIRD. Please support them by downloading their games and buying their stories. Both English and Japanese are not my mother tongue languages, please keep in mind that there will be mistranslations and added words for my own preferences. I translate for my personal entertainment and for my own practice only.
It was Ellis who noticed me going shopping on my day off and asked to have him accompanying me.
Ellis: “Miss Kate, I will carry that bag.”
Kate: “It's fine. You've carried the one I just bought.”
Ellis: “I still have one hand free.”
Ellis: “Besides… I’m stronger than you.”
Kate: “Of course you are, but…”
Ellis: “Spoil me. I want to carry that too. Can’t I…?”
(Oh…my)
Kate: “...Well then, I'll take your word for it. Thank you very much, Ellis.”
Ellis: “Yeah. You're welcome.”
(…Ellis is still kind)
Ellis always gives me excessive kindness, as if he were treating me like his lover.
But it's not because I'm special, it's because of Ellis's personality that is kind to everyone.
When I'm with Ellis, my heart feels lighter.
Kate: “Hmm! The weather is nice and we can go shopping. I am very happy.”
Ellis: “—Hey, how happy is that?”
Tumblr media
Kate: “Well... This is the best moment since I woke up today.”
Ellis: “…Yes.”
(“Again”, this question)
—How happy are you now?
Ellis asks me and the people around me every time something happens.
At first, I thought it was just a catchphrase—
(I feel like it means something very important to you)
And behind those words, there is a sense of unease that seems to be tied around the neck with cotton floss.
When I was thinking that I couldn't come up with an answer by myself, I heard small footsteps beside me.
(…..?)
Little Boy: “I love you, so I'll tell you my secret.”
Little Girl: “Then, I love you too, so I’ll tell you a secret!”
Little children hold hands and run away laughing.
Kate: “Fufu, cute.”
Ellis: “Shall we share secrets with each other?”
Kate: “Eh?”
Ellis: “I want to get along better with you.”
Ellis: “If we share secrets with each other, we might be able to do that… What do you think?”
A smile naturally spills out the cute proposal that is almost like a child.
Tumblr media
Kate: “Sounds good.”
Ellis: “…Hooray”
(What kind of secret should I tell Ellis?)
Ellis: “Someone told me that if you tell someone a secret that you never told anyone, you will get along very well…”
Ellis: “Don't hesitate, because you'll probably feel painful.”
Kate: “…Ellis?”
Ellis: “A secret that might make you feel sad or a secret that might make you smile. Which one do you prefer?”
—It felt like the hustle and bustle of the bustling city suddenly disappeared.
(Eh…?)
Kate: “A secret that might be painful?”
Ellis: “Yes.”
Kate: “…Am I the one who will be in pain? Or is it Ellis?”
Ellis: “Both, I guess?”
Ellis: “Because it's a secret I've never told anyone before.”
(What should I answer...?)
Tumblr media
If I choose to be in pain here,
I may be able to understand the identity of the unease that sometimes clings to you, and the behind meaning of that word.
(But once I know it, I can never go back to when I didn't know it.)
Ellis: “I don't want to make you sad.”
Ellis: “So secrets that might make you smile... are recommended.”
Ellis: “…What will you choose?”
(…….)
(……I)
Kate: “Well then… Let’s go with Ellis’s recommendation.”
Ellis: “Yep. Okay.”
Ellis puts his lips to my ear when I jumped on the escape route he offered me.
Ellis: “Actually, I'm in trouble because my hands are blocked.”
(Eh?)
Ellis: “Because I just realized that while I carried these bags I couldn't hold hands with you.”
Tumblr media
An unexpectedly cute secret makes my heart lighten again.
Kate: “I didn't realize you were thinking about that.”
Ellis: “Fufu, I did my best to hide it.”
Ellis: “So, what is Miss Kate's secret?”
Kate: “You won’t laugh?”
Ellis: “…If it's so cute, it might make me laugh.”
Kate: “You can’t say that.”
Ellis: “So tell me. Tell me more about you.”
His words and gestures always envelop my heart with a sweet lightness.
However, I have a feeling that someday he will be swallowed by the sad secret he holds.
It's like paying the price for missing an eye.
…Fin…

🗒 — what is/are your favorite genre(s)/theme(s) to write? 🤔 — what genre(s)/theme(s) do you struggle to write the most?
🗒 — what is/are your favorite genre(s)/theme(s) to write?
Arms up. Action, adventure, conflict, interpersonal drama, EMOTIONS, change! Development!
You can see most of that in the way I RP/write here, probably. Lol. Given how I picked up Valentino and rattled him around into what he is now.
I've got a lot of investment in themes of...The Human Condition in that awful people are still people--capable of awfulness, but also capable of growth and change into 'better' people. Just like in the world around us. It's too often that we see a person doing something problematic and just label them as 'other' or a 'monster' or 'inhuman'. And I'm not about to stop those terms from being used (or pushing for babygirl-fication or even forgiveness towards people who commit heinous activities), but it is important to realize that the worst of us come from Us. Not some mysterious alien egg with no connection to Humanity as a Whole. They aren't Others. A symptom and not a species.
Anyway, I also like POST-APOC so fucking much. Gobble up that shit all the time. Sci-fi Fantasy, too. Particularly the urban variety. Give me supernatural shadow populations and wizards that think magic is a science not yet understood that use their knowledge to teach math in a local university.
And, I don't know--I love culture and sociology and psychology so...When that shit breaks down and builds back up? Chef kiss.
That goes for people individually, too. Heh.
Hurt/comfort is a form of that. Really enjoy that cycle. Angst and then the rebuild and change that comes from it when the dust settles and people huddle together to get through the aftermath. Yeah...
🤔 — what genre(s)/theme(s) do you struggle to write the most?
I feel that I struggle most with like...slice-of-life stuff. And not specifically some 'down time' and life activities so much as the...
Like if nothing is happening except that. A general lack of growth or conflict going on in the writing??? I don't know if I'm making sense on that. I hope I am.
There's a difference between every RP/story being about slice-of-life where nothing of important happens except domestic living and a little bit of cute breathing room between characters.
At that point I feel like there's all to do about nothing and it sucks my inspiration away. There has to be something developing, happening, challenging, provoking, etc. going on.
I also know that people say I focus a lot on the external representation of a character like their mannerisms, but refrain from laying out their thoughts or emotions in the narrative elements. (I guess because I want people to read into things and interact in a realistic way.) However, I think I've also come a little ways from that. c:

Jellybean
For @acewithapaintbrush​, who was disappointed that the baby sibling in the background isn’t canon.
Tumblr media
“Welcome one and all to Puppet History --!”
“Professor, keep it down. Sensitive ears, remember?”
“Oh - oh, right, yeah, sorry Mom. Okay. Today,” The Professor whispered, resting his tiny (but not as tiny as it had once been) nose on the crib’s railing, “we’ll be taking an ever-winding look at yet another chapter in the heavy heavy book we call history, while our guests ruthlessly compete for the coveted cup, and the title of History Master. I am, of course, your beloved host and big brother, The Professor!”
He held for applause that never arrived. Instead, someone blew a raspberry. He wasn’t sure who it was, but assumed it was Ryan and mentally took off a History Point, just to be safe.
“Uncle Ryan, are you ready?!”
“Not quite sure how you roped me into this,” Ryan said from the other side of the crib, idly spinning a teething ring around one finger, “but yeah. Sure.”
“Special guest and baby puppet/dinosaur hybrid Jellybean, are you ready?!”
Lying in the crib on her back - holding her tiny, fuzzy, orange feet in her tiny, fuzzy, orange claws - The Professor’s baby sister gazed up into his eyes with all the love and innocence in the world, and farted.
“Then let’s crack in! Dun Duuunnn!” The Professor flailed his arms, and Jellybean giggled.
A baby sister had been a...surprise. But it wasn’t like The Professor’s life could get much weirder. He knew his parents had a, uh, robust romantic life. But he really wasn’t expecting to come home from filming one day to find them waiting for him at the door, giving each other goo-goo eyes and talking about something very, very important they had to show him in the spare room.
“Now that asteroidation isn’t an issue,” his dad had said, “your mother and I wanted to make the family a little bigger.”
“Plus, you weren’t exactly a normal birth, baby,” his Mom had added. “I wanted to experience the full, natural journey to motherhood; from a night of loving, mindless passion with your father right the way through incubation, ending with a brand new baby to care for.”
“And we always thought you’d make a wonderful big brother.”
“You...you thought that about me?” The Professor asked, gazing at the egg sitting in a pile of cut grass his Mom had hoarded just the week before - payment for Dad running the lawnmower over Ryan’s mom’s lawn in readiness for Too Many Spirits 2023. The Professor had asked her what she was doing, and she’d just chuckled at him and told him he didn’t need to know. Which was dumb - he was The Professor! He needed to know everything.
“Of course we did, baby!” his mother said, wrapping him up in a big hug. “You’re so intelligent and creative - and so cute - what better role model could a lil’ dino baby ask for?”
“Aw, guuuuuuys...”
Her name was Scout. But even before she’d hatched, her big brother had always called her Jellybean.
“Now,” The Professor began, “do either of you have any experience with teddy bears?”
“Actually,” Ryan piped up, “I have a real cute story about this bear that my grandpa --”
“Gahbaghabababa!” Jellybean squealed, her tail thumping against the mattress of the crib as she made a grab for the copy of Quantum Theory For Babies that The Professor had bought her when she was born. She liked to chew on it while she thought.
“That’s a really good point,” The Professor cried. “You know, I hadn’t thought about that! A jellybean for the baby sister!”
“Beeee!”
“That’s right; a bean! You’re so smart.”
“Hey!” Ryan complained, picking up a blankie and lobbing it over the top of the crib at his friend. “I thought we were leaving favouritism behind us, Professor?”
“We are!” The Professor insisted, dodging the projectile with ease. “She just made a really good point.”
“Sure she did.”
“Anyway; our story today is about a President, a defenseless cub, and how capitalism really just can’t just leave things alone. This is the story of the very first teddy bear!”
“Of course,” Ryan grumbled, “when it’s for the channel it’s cannibalism and propeller butchery; but she gets literal softball topics...”
“She’s a fuckin’ baby, dude - what do you expect?”
“Language, son!” came a call from the living room. “You can play with the baby as long as you behave.”
“Oh. Right. Sorry, Dad.”
The Professor looked down into the crib at his sister, who smiled back up at him. There was a glint in her eye that he knew very, very well. A chaotic, fun-loving, too-clever-for-their-own-good sparkle. He had a feeling that, between them, there would be a lot of time for mischief when she got a bit bigger. As well as a lot of learning.
“So, anyway, our story begins...”
