Teen Years

“Hey, Mom?”

“Yes, mijo?” Conchata O’Hara looks up from her crossword puzzle, and she sees that Miguel looks troubled. “Something wrong?”

“You know how you always told me and Gabe to be careful if we meet a girl, because you don’t want to be a grandma before your time?” The seventeen-year-old sees his mom’s eyes go wide, and he quickly adds, “No one’s pregnant, I promise! But…” He pulls up a chair to sit next to her. “What if I have the opposite…issue?”

Conchata considers herself well-educated, but she’s at a loss. “You mean…if you’re gay?” she asks.

Miguel shakes his head. “I mean…what if I never feel…that way…about anyone?”

“I thought you had a big crush on Xina Kwan last year?”

“Oh, she’s really cool and pretty!” Miguel says. “But I never thought of being…I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to kiss her – I just really liked being around her.”

“Well then…I think you’ll be ok for now, kiddo.” Conchata pats Miguel’s hand. “Better to not jump into stuff while you’re still a kid.”

An Alternate Life

Miguel has a few brief relationships throughout college and his early 20’s – and by the time he turns 24, he can say, with about 94 percent certainty, that he’s asexual and panromantic.

He worries briefly that this will affect how he integrates with his counterpart’s family, but Raquel, his now-wife, knows immediately that this isn’t her own true love back from the dead. She makes it very clear that Miguel isn’t expected to perform “husbandly duties” in bed.

“I won’t make love to a stranger,” she tells him. “But if you’re going to be here, I’ll need all the help with Angie that I can get.”

Miguel rises to that challenge beautifully. Angie is a wonderful kid and raising her is a joy. In that process, Miguel even finds himself falling in love with Raquel. He’d seen glimpses of her goodness on the multiverse scans, but in person, navigating her and Angie’s life and even his, she’s magnificent. He makes sure to tell her every day, and he soon gets in the habit of quickly kissing her on the shoulder at night when they go to bed.

When the universe begins to fall apart and Miguel loses Raquel and Angie, he’s devastated of course – but at the same time, there’s also the tiniest relief that he and Raquel didn’t end up having sex. If they’d conceived a kid together and Miguel had lost that little one too…he might have seriously considered suicide.

The Spider Society

You and Miguel have started dating casually in the last few months – Lyla and Jess know, but for privacy’s sake, you don’t say anything to anyone else at HQ. Miguel knows that some other Spider Society members speculate about his orientation, and he doesn’t want to expose you to that. Jess and Lyla are generally good about heading off any untoward questions, but neither of them are quite prepared to deal with Thomasina “Tommi” Dade.

Tommi is, on paper, a perfect candidate for the Society. Her powers are based on a crab spider, and while she lacks some finesse, she makes up for it with sheer force and speed during a fight. Unfortunately, that same “rampaging bull” quality also applies to her personality. Once she gets an idea in her head, she won’t let it go – and she has decided that she and Miguel are perfect for each other. Every day she tries to get his attention in some flirtatious way, and the few times it happens in front of you, it takes everything you have to stay quiet. Jess’s attempt to stop Tommi’s behavior is only a temporary salve. One day, she pulls Tommi aside and tells her that Miguel is ace and to please leave him alone – but Tommi misunderstands and thinks that Miguel just doesn’t date at all. When she comes across you and Miguel having a clearly personal dinner, she explodes at the both of you.

“How dare you call yourself asexual??” she screams at Miguel. “If I’m not good enough for you, but this little nobody is, then you’re not ace, you’re a coward who can’t handle a real woman! What kind of a leader are you?”

Miguel starts to get up, but you stand first, feeling rage building in your body. “You need to apologize right now,” you tell her. You’re offended on your and Miguel’s behalf, of course, but you realize you’re also angry at Tommi for accidentally bad-mouthing Raquel. Miguel has never hidden her memory from you, and you know she was a better woman than Tommi will ever be.

Instead of answering you, Tommi shoves your shoulder, and you briefly lose your balance. However, what she doesn’t know is that this gives you an opening to use your kickboxing training. Your back foot plants to the ground like a tree root, and your free leg flies up, hitting Tommi in the side with a devastating roundhouse kick.

Tommi’s stance isn’t nearly so secure, and she hits the floor in an undignified heap. When she catches her breath, you offer her a hand up, but she bats it away. “You’re fucking psychotic!” she hisses. “You two can keep each other!” She stumbles to her feet with venom in her eyes – but she does leave.

A different man might feel his cock jump at your display of protectiveness. That doesn’t happen for Miguel, but he’ll admit, *IF* Jess or Lyla push for details later, that you gave him a sense of security when you stood up for him – a feeling he hasn’t had since losing Raquel. That has to be a good sign, right?

Jewel Cases

Celia came in from the garden, stiff and limping on one leg from kneeling in the dirt all morning. She slipped off her tennis-shoes just inside the door and shed the cap she was wearing, wisps of silver hair waving in the static. The work had been rewarding as ever, though a part of her nagged herself about investing so much work in a garden she would be saying goodbye to in a few weeks.

“Ceel,” came Lyla’s voice from the kitchen. “Don’t forget to take off your shoes!” Celia rolled her eyes but smiled, wincing a bit from the knee as she followed the voice into the kitchen. There she found her wife hunched over the table, a large Rubbermaid container spilled out across the surface.

“What’s all this?”

“Some of my old music! I started digging through the basement to get ready for the move and I decided I didn’t wanna throw it all out without at least having a last look.”

Celia picked up one of the CDs, “’Marina and the Diamonds’, talk about old, my god. You would have been, what, 25? 26? When that album came out.”

“Something like that,” Lyla licked her lips and dug through a pile of jewel cases still in the container. Celia loved the way the look of concentration made her laugh-lines come into sharp relief. And while, these days, Lyla wasn’t quite as spry as her wife, she rooted through the music with a kind of impish energy.

“I can’t believe you were still buying CDs in your twenties,” Celia put the case down, walked around the table to get a closer look at some piles over there.

“Ahhhhh! Look at this!” Lyla held out the case to Celia, who read the title.

“’The Heist’, is this… what was his name…?”

“Macklemore and Ryan Lewis—”

“Macklemore! That’s right—”

“Remember this song?” Lyla hurried into the living room and to the old, old stereo with its compact disc player. She popped the CD in and with a practiced, long-dormant instinct, she advanced a few tracks until the speakers played a low hum.

“This is…” as soon as the piano came in, Celia laughed. “Is this ‘Same Love’? Oh my god.” Lyla grinned and adjusted the volume, already mouthing her mouth to the music. “2010s were a different time, I remember when this song was everywhere. Didn’t this win all kinds of awards?”

“It did.” Lyla turned, held out her hand to Celia. “It’s the song that made gay marriage happen. Dance with me!”

Celia guffawed and tested out her knee before accepting her wife’s hand. “As if. This was understanding-queer-people-for-dummies.” She listened to the lyrics as the two awkwardly swayed through the verse. “This is really the best we could do in two-thousand-whatever, huh?”

“I know, I know,” Lyla spoke hurriedly, trying to get out her thought before the chorus came in. “But I used to listen to this song in my car all the time and cry. I listened to this song after coming out to my dad.”

“And I can’t change / Even if I tried / Even if I wanted to.”

“I didn’t know that…”

“Of course not, back then you would’ve laughed me outta town if I told you that.” Lyla batted her eyes at Celia in a way that reminded Celia of her when they had met.

“I would not have!” Celia chuckled, but didn’t argue too hard. They swayed a little more, Lyla humming along to the chorus. By the time the bridge came around, Celia was pulling away to rest her knee on the couch and Lyla was heading back over to the stereo. “We can keep the CD if you want. The stereo. We can keep it all.”

“Oh, no.” Lyla smiled and shook her head, ejecting the CD. “This was perfect. Ready to let go of it now.” She tossed the jewel case back into the Rubbermaid. “Now, once you rest up that knee, you wanna show me these new hydrangeas?” Celia smiled, brushed a silver hair out of her eyes. She would be sad when she had to leave this garden behind, but there would be other gardens, other songs.

[cursegirlrabbit]

what are the sexual orientations of all the characters in your DT canon?

oh boy that's a long list, so I'll go with our main characters so far.

So first off, the children. They are unknown as of now, being ten and younger. even Webby is unsure we know she likes Lena but even she isn't 100 percent sure if its just girls or both or what, they'll figure it out as they get older.

Donald, he's a trans bisexual, but also open to polyamours relationships.

Della, A pansexual, she doesn't care about gender, she'll love those who can connect and has a strong bond with such as selene, Penumbra and her husband Casey.

Scrooge, I can see him being bi or pan, his love life isn't many and never been in a long standing relationship but he's had lovers, the one to live the longest of course being Goldie, but during times the two are separated he's loved others. (I headcanon he had a love affair with Casey Coot during the Klondike age)

Fethry, asexual, panromantic. hes not really into sexual stuff, very innocent minded. inuendo's go over his head (if you try to explain it to him one of the cousins appears out of thing air and annihilates you)

Gladstone, Demisexual, love for him has been a hard and bumpy road, from being used and betrayed by Magica (as in the chapter My ex is a witch) he really did love Matilda and was hurt an heartbroken when it turned out to be Magica using him. unfortunatly she's not the first to use gladstone, though other lovers in the past more wanted the luck and extravigent gifts his luck gave them.

Until he met Vero of course, a merman who cares not for material possessions.

Abner, he's demisexual to. he's happily married to Donna and loyal to her, he's bicurious. he doesn't really know if he is attracted to both genders and donna teases him in a loving way. Donna tells him if he ever finds a guy he likes then she'd happily share him.

Jose, the most suave bisexual you'll ever meet.

Panchito, happiest, bouncing pansexual pal.

Ari, he exists above all genders and sexuality. pretty sure he's a immortal god or something.

Stefan, he hasn't told me. but i've seen him glancing at pics of donald, all wistfully....i think he wishes i wrote this fic with him as a love interest. Stefan is mysterious alright.

Uno, he's still figuring it out. but i think he's donaldsexual and donromantic.

Launchpad, panromantic best buddie EVER, pretty sure everyone has had a crush on launchpad, this guy's even got Abner questioning himself.

Gyro, if that's not the most asexual gay energy ever then i don't know what is, also he's a trans chicken.

Fenton, bisexual disaster.

Lyla lay, she's never really thought about it, due to her timework she unfortunatly doesn't have much time for realtionships, plus she'd feel really bad if she couldn't tell her partner about her being an android and being a time agent.

Mary, biiiiiiisexual, she had such a childhood crush on morgana, she had fanfic of growing up and marrying the witch.

Drake, gaaaaaaaayyyyyy

Penumbra, GAAYYYYY

Beakley, that's classified information.

Pepper, pansexual, she' loves everyone.

Hot Take: Square Enix and DontNod both seem like companies that are cash grabs in a way that they will please all their fans even the toxic ones. They never even confirmed Max and Chloe's sexualities probably out of fear of not pleasing those fans who believe Chloe is bi. Not to mention they want to please their straight fans by giving them plenty of content. Like bruh, the only reason they have so many fans is because of the queer/LGBTQ fans and whatnot. Like honestly they should think more about what would benefit their story rather than what their fans will think.

This.

Oh boy, writing this post, I’m getting war flashbacks back to OITNB where they couldn’t even utter the word Bisexual.

Square Enix even said Chloe is “probably gay” and some idiot at DONTNOD said Rachel was in love with Jeffershit. Yeah no.

Considering how ashamed Rachel sounded in this letter and the disturbing nature of who Jefferson is, no that was not love. Oh and JEFFERSON IS A FUCKING PREDATOR

I don’t even know why Ashly Burch said that “I think Chloe is sexually fluid. I don’t think she really likes to label herself in any particular way—same with her gender.” It’s clear to me that Chloe is a lesbian. She has shown no interest in boys whatsoever. The only in-universe reasoning for what Chloe doesn’t identify as such is because of David’s strict conservative household and abusive nature

They should be embracing their LGBTQ fanbase. 

In episode 3, when talking about relationships in Chloe’s room, Chloe should’ve said that. “Max, I was never into boys. I’m gay.” when Max asks about boyfriends. It’s hinted at by “thank god Rachel saved me” but it should be explicitly said. And maybe Max even admits “I think I might be Bi. I like you and I like Warren” it’s really that simple.

Also Chloe should have embraced Max in that kiss in episode 3, no offence but what we got in canon comes off as when a friend truth or dares you to kiss them and the only time you can really kiss Chloe is if we agree to sacrifice her. Talk about burying your gays...

Even if my preferred endgame ships are Amberprice and Grahamfield, even I have to admit despite Warren not getting much content, he does seem to get more than what Pricefield gets, hell everyone in Blackwell thinks Max and Warren are together

I still think LIS would be a better game if it had branching choices like in DBH and we get to choose who we focus on. Between Chloe, Warren, Kate and Victoria. 

The closest thing we got to characters actually embracing their sexuality is when Sean admits he likes both girls and boys or when Finn and Hannah pretty much hinting they’re pan, but “we don’t like labels”. 

Speaking of, I honestly find it really gross that the only way to romance Finn is to agree to use Daniel’s power for the heist. Sean and Finn only gets a kiss, but Sean and Cassidy get to skinny dip and have sex? Kind of noticing a pattern here.... The good news is that Sean and Finn actually seem really into each other, while Cassidy mainly appeared to be a fling. It’s not much, but it’s a little queer victory

My solution for dealing with the problem in LIS 2 is basically having Lyla join Sean and Finn, since Lyla is considered family. In episode 3, depending who you choose, Sean would help Lyla get with the other, so ideally Sean and Finn would be together without resorting to crime, while Sean helps Lyla and Cassidy get together.  

I do hope True Colors actually embraces the queerness of the fandom, but even that’s asking too much. When Chloe, the biggest lesbian character in video games in recent history, cannot even admit they are gay and the studio behind her game says she’s “probably gay” then what hope do we actually have for Alex, Steph and Ryan? 

[tank-grunt]

Hi I just wanted to say you're one of my fav blogs.... I love reading your posts and they fuel my love for this game!! Anyway--I'm actually here to ask if you have any favorite headcanon about Tank or tank/Johnny because I'm always interested in that 😳

awww thanks! as for favorite headcanons, uhh... hmmm. i have different headcanons based on the different games they appear in together so i’ll uh, categorize those i guess (also warning: long. i am very dramatic and thus am prone to waxing poetic about how i perceive a relationship)

sims 2 pc - tank is just a repressed gay with no idea how to cope with it because of ... you know... everything. he can’t recognize his feelings, he doesn’t know how to cope with them, and he’s so frustrated by everything all of the time because of the kind of home he’s grown up in that all the wires are being crossed, and he’s kind of an asshole to people who don’t deserve it because of that. in theory he really, really likes johnny... johnny’s nice, he’s handsome, and likable... but that’s also why he really, really dislikes him and is supremely jealous... he isn’t in a place where he can realize anything positive he feels. tank doesn’t get why his pulse speeds up or his face flushes when johnny’s around, he doesn’t know why he craves his attention - for anyone else it should be obvious, but for him there’s just too much going on. but he knows when he sees johnny surrounded by people who like him, he wishes that he were johnny, and he knows he’s an alien ... tank knows what to do with that.

in theory johnny could have really, really liked tank too - he’s fit, athletic, he can be witty and goofy and creative - but... johnny doesn’t get to see the part of tank worth liking. the parts that he would like, that he likes in others already. tank won’t show him. tank can’t afford to be vulnerable! so because of tank’s issues, he causes issues for johnny and johnny only sees the tank who is kind of a jealous repressed loner. and he’s already friends with ripp through ophelia so he’d already be aware of how tank isn’t exactly brother of the year as golden child to ripps scapegoat. and with no way of figuring out that the way tank’s treated isnt actually any better, johnny’s a bit biased. but johnny’s bio says he dreams of being a hero on a white horse, so i always kind of interpreted that as something of a hero complex - so i imagine he’d soften quickly if he had any idea the full extent of whats going on. 

oh, weirdly, that segues into -

sims 2 psp - not a very romantic headcanon - more about coping with circumstance - but theyre both victims of abuse from buzz and johnny knows it.

but so is ripp. so they’re not close, because johnny can see how the brothers are pitted against each other and he doesn’t like it... but johnny understands tank now, he understands why he’s like that, and he can’t really bring himself to be angry with him or blame him, even when tank is preventing his escape. he still has a hero complex. he sees the way tank has been hurt. he sees the way ripp is hurt, too. but he just can’t be mad. the fact he’s held captive by buzz isn’t the only reason why he hates him so vehemently, so passionately. he hates that he can see a father treat his sons so callously, so cruelly, and can’t do anything about it.

not that he’d put up with tank’s bs... but just sometimes trying to reach out, trying to talk sense into him. and maybe, because the nicest guy he knows is making some good points, maybe tank has doubts. maybe he questions buzz. johnny is very convincing. it’s not his fault!

basically im a sucker for the hurt/comfort of johnny’s kindness and his bluntness and courage helping tank realize that none of whats going on is right, or good. 

sims 2 ds/gba - i believe in ds/gba era tank/johnny supremacy, first and foremost - it’s always good! but there’s just something so nice and comforting about it in ds/gba... from their perspective, things are so different and yet also so similar... and there’s a certain kind of comfort with each other in seeing how different they’ve become, but how familiar they are. how they’ve grown and improved, and forged a healthy friendship and connection... and they know each other better than anyone else in town at that point - everyone is either dead, or left town. 

and the idea that tank just regularly comes into the pawn shop just to see johnny because he’s grown up and he knows how to follow his heart now... and johnny really is all he wants. maybe all he’s ever wanted, really. and johnny likes that. happiness is a good look on tank, and he likes seeing tank. you ever notice how johnny sells lotto tickets with tank’s face on them? i like to think he designed them himself, because he ... you know, likes tank. likes to see him.

when johnny’s not busy at the pawn shop, when tank’s not busy running the medical center he lives in... i imagine theyre supremely cheesy together. i mean, tank totally goes out of his way to help johnny around the pawnshop. i’ve always personally viewed johnny as supernaturally strong without trying, but i mean... us legbets just loooove to watch objects of our affection lifting things, and i can totally imagine tank just casually lifting things to impress johnny. he’s a bit humble but he likes attention from johnny, always has. and yeah, johnny can outbench him, but he enjoys the view.

and i KNOWwww that tank primarily lives in his dumb little medical center bunker he’s running, but i like to imagine that johnny has an apartment above the pawn shop (um, in the ds version anyways, it doesnt seem like the gba version has one but ... you know tank does spend a lot of time with a telescope up there sooo) and they live together, with a cat. its a very nice, domestic life that they’ve worked hard to manage with each other, and they’ve earned it 

sims 4 - they’re gallery sims with no relationship or connection with each other but it’s an alternate timeline so i like to take advantage of the fact :)

you know everything i wrote about tank having a crush on johnny he had no idea how to deal with? i love the idea that it’s the reverse in sims 4 timeline. tank in every other appearance he’s had has been so... insecure, reserved. but tank in sims 4 is confident! outgoing! athletic! ... johnny doesn’t stand a chance. he’s just a useless bisexual and he thinks tank is really cute and doesn’t know what to do about it... but how convenient for him, tank doesn’t have the same problems that really stood in the way of a relationship that he had in sims 2.

lyla’s ghost being around to shape the household post-mortem has definitely had positive effects on the family - the grunt siblings have better relationships with each other, they have their mother to guide them and intervene if buzz is ever unfair to them, and to question his authority... 

tank knows johnny likes him, in this timeline, and he’s a bit smug about it. but its ok! he kind of likes the scrawny green kid too. so what if he shows off a little more lately to get his attention? so what if he gets a little close in the hallways at school? whats a little kissing between homies?

TWB 1x09/1x10: A Template for the Daryl/Carol Spinoff and a Bethyl Reunion

So, what did everyone think of TWB finale? I really enjoyed it. As I’ve been teasing, I had a HUGE lightbulb moment about this series and what it points to symbolically.  I know many in the fandom are asking what the point of this series is if we don’t see Rick. Well, I think I know. As I’ve said in Asks, I think plot-wise, we may still see Rick (or even Beth) in S2. The characters aren’t actually inside the CRM yet, but at least Hope and Silas are going there, so there will be more opportunity for them to run into Rick or Beth next season.

***As always, spoilers abound below for TWB 1x09 and 1x10. Don’t read until you’ve watched!***

So, what was my big lightbulb moment? Here it is:

Symbolically, this is foreshadowing what will happen with the Daryl/Carol spinoff, Rick, and how Daryl and Beth will reunite. The good news is, I’m more convinced than ever that she’s close. You’ll see why as we go along. The bad news is, we really probably won’t get a Bethyl reunion until the spinoff, which will come after S11. That’s a ways off. I was just praying we’d see her either in the flagship series or in TWB or FTWD before then, and then the news broke that she’ll be in the bonus episodes in flashbacks. I know that doesn’t prove she’s alive, but it was still kind of an answer to a prayer for me. Okay, so here goes.

This will be long, as I have a LOT of things to talk about here. Let’s establish names, first of all, as I’ll be referencing all these people. Iris and Hope’s dad is Leo. The woman with him (the same female scientist we’ve seen in the codas) is Lyla Belshaw. Felix’s boyfriend’s name is Will.

So, we finally met Will in ep 9. We see him in flashbacks. We see when he and Felix first met (which incidentally was when he first met Huck; that’s important). Then there’s a bedroom scene where they’ve obviously been in a relationship for a time. We see Felix talking to Will about how he really wants to go with Leo, but Leo has asked him to stay behind with Iris and Hope. Then we see Felix find out Will was going with Leo instead (which kinda crushed him) and then we see them all say goodbye.

This is a funny thing to say, but it was the bedroom scene that made it all click for me. Lol. It was because of the sleeve Felix wears on one arm. My fellow theorists tell me that they talked about this earlier in the season, but I either completely missed it, or it went in one ear and out the other. Hey, I’m human, too. ;D  

It reminded me of the plaid sleeve on Daryl’s coat when they went to Oceanside in 7x15 to take their guns. Remember that? 

At first, I thought he was missing the sleeve of his jacket. But then someone told me it was actually just that a different sleeve was sewn onto the jacket. As though someone had put it together piecemeal. Well, same thing, only this was black rather than plaid. Now, we’ve seen parallels between Felix and Daryl before, especially in the beginning. He talked about how he had a not-so-happy family background and specifically how his dad (like Daryl’s) was just not cool. He’s also like Daryl in that he’s kind of the badass protector of the group, right? So when I first noticed the sleeve, I went, “Okay, another Daryl parallel. Hmm.”

Then Will had an interesting line. As they got up, he said, “I’ll make pancakes if you made dinner later.” I went, “pancakes!” 

Cue first lightbulb moment. (Reminder: pancakes/Bisquik is a Beth/resurrection symbol.) Felix = Daryl; Will = Beth. That’s what these symbols are pointing to. And it actually makes perfect sense in a way I hadn’t really thought of before. Think about it: at the beginning of this series, we had Felix who was once in a romantic relationship with Will, but the two of them are separated. Felix hasn’t talked to, seen, or heard from Will in a long time, right? So, it’s a separation thing. You could even argue (and I think I did back in ep 1) that Felix keeping and wearing Will’s coat lines up with Daryl having Beth’s knife. At the end of ep 10, Felix runs into Will and they have a huge reunion. I’ll come back to that in more detail in a minute.

So here’s the thing: the more I thought about this, the more lightbulb moments I had. What do we know about Felix’s backstory, especially where Leo (Iris and Hope’s dad) is concerned? We know Felix and Leo became friends, Leo kind of adopted him, and Felix became part of the family, right? Well, that’s pretty much exactly what happened with Rick and Daryl. If Felix = Daryl and Will = Beth, Leo = Rick. Think about that. Leo left to join the CRM/helicopter group. Felix was left behind to protect his children. The biggest difference in TWD is that Rick didn’t go voluntarily, where Leo did. But other than that, same situation. Rick was taken into the CRM, and Daryl is now raising and protecting his children.

My next lightbulb moment came later in the episode. Felix gets hurt. He can’t walk very well. Huck says she has to leave him behind. Everyone is upset and saying goodbye and Felix hugs Huck and tells her he loves her. And of course this isn’t romantic love because, well, he’s gay. And THAT’S when it hit me.

From a Daryl standpoint, who is a woman Daryl loves, but not romantically? Carol. Gals, if Felix is Daryl and Will is Beth and Leo is Rick, then Huck is Carol. And think about it: if you set Iris and Hope and the boys aside for a minute, this entire story line is about the Daryl character (Felix) and the Carol character (Huck) taking off together to look for Leo. (Otherwise known as the Rick character.)

Boom. This entire thing is a foreshadow and parallel/proxy of the Carol/Daryl spinoff storyline. I guess you could say that my official theory now is that it’s new of Rick that will pull Daryl and Carol away from the community. They’ll go to find him. That’s why they’ll leave together after S11. But what happens here for Felix? On his journey to find Leo, he runs into Will, his love interest, who represents Beth.

So, Daryl will leave to find Rick, and somewhere along the way, he’ll finally find Beth and they’ll have their reunion.

Couple of thoughts/details here, just for clarification:

1) I’m not sure Huck’s exact arc here will be Carol’s. She’s a member of the CRM, which Carol is clearly not. And she really betrays Felix with all this. In the finale, the two of them get into full-on hand-to-hand combat, which I REALLY don’t see being the case with Daryl and Carol. But we also know Carol has betrayed TF in various ways over the years (Karen/David, letting Negan out of his cell, Connie) so it may be more about the type of character than about the exact arc.

2) I’m not sure how the kids fit in. Even though we’ve always thought Iris and Hope might be proxies to Beth and Maggie (and I still think that’s true) overall, I think they MORE represent Judith and RJ. Only because of Leo = Rick and they’re his kids. Now, obviously Iris and Hope are much older than Rick’s kids, and Judith and RJ aren’t going to take off to find Rick. So I don’t know if they’ll figure into this or not. It’s hard to say because in this show, Leo’s kids are with Felix. So will it be a matter of Judith and RJ being taken, or will he leave them behind? I honestly don’t know.

What I said above about Felix meeting Huck and Will at the same time? It just struck me as yet another parallel. Even though Daryl knew Carol before Beth (because S1), S2 was only days after s1. So really, he met them around the same time. And while he became besties with Carol, the romance lies with Beth. Same with Felix. Besties with Huck. In love with Will. Just saying.

Oh, and something @frangipanilove​ reminded me of: Tom Sawyer Theory. There have been tons of Mark Twain/Widow Douglas/Tom Sawyer references around Carol. Now this character’s name is Huck, and it’s a nickname that comes from Huckleberry Finn because she was found on a raft.

Okay, moving on. Um…let’s talk Percy for a minute.

Remember that I said last week he was a major Beth proxy, because he seems to have staggered off, wounded, and everyone assumes he’s dead, but there was no body.

In this episode, Elton finds him and guess what? He’s been shot. So in keeping with the Beth parallel (no body, staggered away, presumed dead) he was also shot, not stabbed. Not in the head, of course, but in the chest/shoulder. But it was important for Elton to find that because it made him realize Silas didn’t do it. Silas didn’t have a gun. 

Another thing I found interesting is that Elton was sure Percy would die. His hallucination of Percy kept saying, “you know I’m going to die, right? I’m not going to survive.” And things like that. But low and behold, Percy actually lives. So, yet another way to round out the Beth parallel. Got shot. Staggered away. No one correctly understood what actually happened there. But he runs into someone who helps him and saves him. And, he lives.

So then Elton and Percy find Silas. And this was super cool from a TD standpoint as well. Silas accidentally starts a fire. The smoke from it, while less, looks EXACTLY like the smoke from the moonshine shack in Still. (Ah foreshadows.) Elton sees the smoke and follows it, hoping to find Silas, which he does.

And here’s where, again, it gets interesting. They have a small but sweet reunion. Elton runs up and hugs Silas really tight and says that he found him and also that he brought Silas’s bag and that he found his walkman and headphones in the road. 

It was the way he said that that caught my attention. He found them in the road. Last week, we totally compared the headphones to the music box, but I didn’t think about the fact that he dropped them in the middle of the road. I didn’t think to compare them to Daryl finding the green jasper in the middle of the road. But Elton found Silas’s MUSICAL DEVICE in the middle of the road and brought it back to him. Also, Rock in the Road story/theory. And @wdway​ pointed out Daryl’s line to Beth in Alone: “Go up the road a ways; I’ll meet you there.”

So, think about this. We have this rock-in-the-road reference, and a reunion between Elton and Silas. In the same episode, we see Felix, out on the road, walking through the woods, stumble onto his romantic partner, who he hasn’t seen in a LONG time. They hug, have a reunion, both are crying, and Will cries out, “I thought you were dead.” 

Let’s talk about Leo, Iris and Hope’s dad. In terms of the plot, I actually have a lot of questions, but I suppose that’s the point. In ep 10, we have lots of scenes of Iris and Hope’s dad. The woman from the codas, Lyla is in them, too. She and Leo are in a romantic relationship. But it’s obvious that she’s a plant by the CRM and that she’s feeding them information. I wasn’t sure if these scenes were meant to be present day, or flashbacks. I THINK they’re present day. So, he’s actually fine and not really in any danger.

We were right in thinking that Hope is the asset. In this episode, they say they just want her for her smarts, to help her father in his research. To some extent, it’s like she’s Eugene for this show (except for real, lol). Her dad says of her at one point, “maybe she’ll save the world.” Which feels like a foreshadowing. So maybe she really will find the cure or something. We’re also wondering if there’s something more they aren’t telling us. Like some sort of immunity thing. But they haven’t said anything like that in this episode.

The other reason I’m not sure about what Hope’s role will be is that she is obviously a proxy for Beth on her own. (In one flashback, everyone is eating dinner together and she says, “I made the carrots.” So yeah, self-proclaimed Beth proxy.) Carrot Theory Here.

So maybe she’ll find the cure and save the world. Or maybe all these characters will die at the end and she’s just functioning as a Beth proxy. Beth isn’t the super-smart Eugene type that will save the world in that way, but I do think the fact that Hope is the “asset” and the CRM wants her is probably a proxy for Beth in some way. Just not sure how it will play out.

So, back to the dad. In these Leo scenes, it’s obvious that he’s suspicious about things having to do with the CRM. He says that he recognizes they do good things, but he’s suspicious about the military. He says that Will’s scouting mission should have been back days ago. (Yes, Felix’s Will.) But he’s not. And Lyla just passes it off as “lots of things can happen that might have delayed him.”

So, I wasn’t sure if Will’s group, which we only see for a few seconds at the end, is part of the CRM and has just been delayed in returning, or if they’re purposely not returning because they know what the CRM did to the people at the university and have become a rebel group. My first impression was that they were rebels, hanging out in the forest, but they honestly don’t tell us much, here.

Well, that was because, the first time through, I missed the coda at the end of episode 9. You guys gotta see this shot! What happens is basically that we see Will running. He trips and falls by this walker, stares at it a moment, and then jumps up to run again. We see CRM soldiers running after him. So, that confirms that he’s now a rebel. Hiding from and rebelling against the CRM because he saw what they did at the University.

And the only reason that even matters is that we’ve conjectured that Beth might be leading a rebel group against the CRM. This is a confirmation of that theory (because Will = Beth).

But look at this shot:

It’s a blond walker who’s literally rising from her grave. If that’s not confirmation that Will = Beth, I don’t know what is.

Oh, let’s go back to Silas for a minute. I said last week that he might be headed toward Beth, right? Yeah, I still think he might be. So, after Elton, Percy, and Silas reunite, Silas is happy to know that he didn’t kill Tony or hurt Percy. Huck did. But he and Elton want to go find the girls and tell them about Huck. Before they can, the CRM soldiers arrive. They probably followed Silas’s smoke, and also at one point Percy talked to Huck, very briefly on the walkie on an open channel. 

So, the CRM knows they’re around and is looking for them. They try to sneak away, and come to a chain-lined fence with a locked gate. They unlock it to go through, but Percy is still bleeding a lot from his GSW. He tells them to leave him behind because he’s slowing them down and the dripping blood will be a trail right to them.

Silas makes a choice to save his friends. He pushes them through the gate and turns himself into the CRM, even cutting his hand to account for the dripping blood. He locks it so they can’t come back in and says, “go save Iris.” The CRM does take him into custody and Elton and Percy get away. So again, if Rick and Beth are inside the organization somewhere, he really could run into them.

What this really reminded me of was Sasha and Rosita. Major parallel there. Which, sadly, makes me wonder if Silas will die next season. A proxy, just as Sasha was. I thought it was interesting that Silas cut his hand across the palm. It’s a Christic wound and he sacrificed himself for his friends. But he’s also inside the CRM now, which means he could potentially run into Rick or Beth next season.

I wrote down other, smaller symbols. Things we always talk about like dialogue and background symbols. There’s a part where Elton kills some walkers and a bright red leaf flies across the screen. One of our red objects, I think. And that’s while he’s saving Percy, who should have died, but lived. Percy calls Elton Corduroy at one point, which is a bear reference.

Oh! Here’s an interesting one, though it’s not directly related to Beth. At one point, when Felix gets hurt, he and the ladies (Hope, Iris, Huck) go to a particular building. I believe it used to be a retirement home, though it honestly doesn’t look medical at all. More like a manor house. Like Hilltop, only in major disrepair. When they go in, Iris says, “This place feels haunted.” And Hope says, “the whole world is haunted.” 

That’s a shockingly exact echo of Tyreese saying that to Carol in 4x14. He said, “the whole world is haunted now.” It’s so lovely and sad, it was always one of my favorite lines. So, I sat and thought about what the parallel is supposed to be. 

I think it may be about the truth coming out. Because the biggest thing about 4x14 was Lizzie and Mica’s deaths, but nothing happened in this episode to really mirror that. No one died. But Carol also told Ty the truth about her and how she’d killed Karen. And remember that Huck is the Carol character. Here, they all find out who Huck really is and what she’s doing. It’s like, deceptions fall away and the truth is revealed. So yeah, not really a TD thing, but I thought that was super interesting.

One other thing: at one point, Hope and Huck run into walkers on the road and have to fight them. Hope has Felix’s gun, but she drops it. They’re standing on a bridge (Bridge Theory) but it’s not a huge bridge or an overpass. It’s one of those little wooden bridges over a pathetic little stream. Like, literally four feet down and they could jump off the bridge without being hurt, right? Well, when Hope dropped the gun (because she’s fighting a walker) and it slid down off the bridge and into the stream.

Visually, it reminded me a lot of when Beth kicked the gun down the elevator shaft in Coda. So I watched closely to see if they would retrieve it. They didn’t. Huck even said something like “well, the pistol is gone, so let’s just keep going.” And I had to laugh at that. Not realistic at all. The pistol isn’t gone. It’s right there. They just had to jump down and get it. No way the little bit of water would have been enough to carry a metal gun away. So yeah, I feel like that was a purposeful parallel to Beth at Grady.

That’s most of the big stuff. My overall theory, following the template TWB is laying out for us is this: Daryl and Carol will take off together after S11, either because they have word of Rick or something to do with the kids. Just as Will is inside the CRM with Leo, Beth is inside the CRM with Rick. Somewhere on that journey, Daryl will run into Beth on the road. What happens next season in TWB will give us a better idea of what will happen where Rick is concerned in the story. But this is definitely a foreshadow of the spinoff and how Daryl and Beth will reunite.

And now, with word of Emily being in the bonus episodes, even if they’re just flashbacks, it makes me think we’ll see her in the second season of TWB. The flashbacks are priming the audience for her true return. I literally wrote the above to @wdway​ and @frangipanilove​ on Friday morning. Friday afternoon, news of Emily being in the bonus episodes broke. For me, it was just everything falling perfectly into place.

Thoughts?

Wedding Guest

Summary: Bonus Theme Day - Wedding Date

Part: 1/1

Pairing: Natasha Romanoff x reader

Warnings: little steam

Word count: 1,683

A/N: A bonus fic for theme weekend! Enjoy!

~

You had developed a habit of always checking the plus one box, just in case. Life had been a swarm of weddings as of late and you were feeling left behind. Usually you would bring some friend who was free, but this time you knew you couldn’t. This was a family filled wedding which meant that if you didn’t bring an actual date you’d be interrogated all night. And you’d rather be asked pleasant questions about a fake relationship than be scolded for wasting a chair and being alone. So, there you stood before your best friend, your eyes begging her to accept the invitation.

“What’s in it for me?” Strands of her fiery red bob were slipping from the scrunchie, her brow arched. 

“Free food and an open bar?” 

“Boy you really do know how to treat a girl. I’ll do it.” You nearly tackled her with a hug, her arms wrapping around you as you thanked her profusely. “Yeah, yeah. But you have to wear the dress if I do.”

“That old thing?” She leaned against the door frame, smirking. “Yeah, ok. Then I get to pick your dress.”

“I’m glad we could come to this arrangement. Come on in, sweetheart.” Shaking your head at her laughter you follow her to her closet and get to work.

In the passing weeks you and Nat forged a solid story, planned for any questions that might arise, and booked your flight. The plane ride was fairly standard, the two of you watching movies off your laptop. Soon enough it became time to introduce her to a family member, and of course it had to be the most guilt tripping one of them all. Your niece. She had run up to you in the airport and wrapped her arms around your legs. 

“Aunt Y/N! Is that your girlfriend?” She peeked around you at Natasha with curious little eyes, smiling when Nat squatted down and waved. 

“Hi there. My name’s Natasha but you, you can call me Nat.” Her gentle smile seemed to coax Lyla in, her small frame emerging from behind your legs. 

“I’m Lyla. I’m 6 and a half.” Your attention was torn from the adorable scene to the group approaching you. 

“Isaac!” In mere seconds you practically tackled your big brother to the ground, his wife laughing as you pulled her in. “Marie you look better. Healing okay?”

“The surgery went well and the doc says I’m recovering quickly. Enough that I might dance at least once tomorrow night.” Her daughter came running back, latching onto her leg like a leach. “You actually brought a girlfriend home?”

“I know, we’re gonna be swarmed.” Nat caught up, one hand resting on your waist and the other extended toward your family.

“You must be Isaac and Marie, right?” She turned to you feigning the guess, a soft smile dancing on her lips. “I did my best to learn names beforehand.”

“You found yourself a clever one, eh sis?” Isaac smiles shaking Nat’s hand, his eyes still cautious. Marie linked arms with Nat and led her toward the car, Nat glancing over her shoulder at you with a sweet smile. “Finally bringing someone home, she must be important.”

“She’s been my best friend for years, I trust her. And I trust that meeting you whackos won’t deter her.” Isaac smiled before tossing you over his shoulder, your screams turning into giggles. 

“You still walk too slow.” 

“We passed the entry exam. Get ready for the next level.” She shook her head at you and mumbled something along the lines of ‘I used to be a spy you know’. “I come from a family of therapists and professors. They eat bullshit for breakfast.” 

Nat sat in the middle seat of the back of the van, her fingers intertwined with yours as the hour long drive began. The ride consisted of sing-a-longs, in which only your niece participated. If you didn’t know the words to every song in Cinderella, you did now. The parking lot of the hotel was packed, you recognized 70 percent of the cars from family and friends. Nat carried both your bags and rejected all offers of assistance.

“She’s pretty independent.” Marie shook her head, a knowing smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. 

“You should have seen her when I moved in. Helped me carry every box and sent the boys to pick up lunch. You should have seen their faces.” You laugh as your thoughts go back to the day you moved into the avengers facility. She had given the guys one look and they went scurrying out the door.

“I’m glad you’ve found someone Y/N. She seems to suit your temperament very well.” Perhaps she did, but that was what had made the two of you such instant friends.

Every waking moment around your family with Nat felt suffocating, they all seemed so proud of your choice. Apart from your Aunt Dinah that is, she was a little stuck in the wrong part of history and never approved of your life choices. She was quite vocal about it and Natasha was not very happy to find this out. In fact, she seemed to up the fake romantic touches whenever your aunt was near. While it made you smile to see her so furious, it also meant a lot more touching than you had planned on. Skin to skin contact with Nat had you questioning your relationship and on a few occasions forgetting it was fake. You thought you could be stronger than all those fake couples in the movies, however, it turned out you were just as susceptible. 

The day of your younger brother’s wedding had arrived and you could not be more grateful that this charade was coming to a close. Pretending to be in love with someone really does a number on your emotions. Hours spent readying the room and double-checking that everyone was being prepped, everything was underway. Tonight you would dance with Nat a few times before saying goodnight and heading back to the hotel. Easy peasy. 

Oh, sweet jesus. Not easy peasy. In no way would her being close to you in that dress be easy peasy. You felt rather compelled to jump her right then and there, which was rather problematic. Even worse your sister-in-law saw the look you had on your face when Nat rounded the corner, it was definitely lustful. You couldn’t hide it.

“Someone’s getting lucky tonight.” Marie smirked as she nudged your arm, eyes twinkling mischievously. “You both look fantastic.” 

“Marie!” You whispered, shooting her a warning look before turning back to face Natasha. “Wow, I told you that was the dress.”

“Then was it your intention to make all the men in the room drool? If so, you’ve done splendid.” One of your cousins was staring at her with a look that you wanted to smack from his face. She moved closer, whispering so only you would hear. “If not, I can only assume it was because you wanted to see me in this dress.”

She wasn’t wrong, you had always wondered about the black gown hanging in her closet. All that she had ever said was that it was for specific missions. By this point you were beginning to gather what sort of missions she utilized its stun capability for, and you were flush in the face. My god, you had done this to yourself.

“Why choose this dress for me? And why it was your stipulation?” Nat smirked and gestured that her lips were sealed, linking her arm with yours before leading you into the elevator. 

Eyes followed the pair of you everywhere, the entire event someone was gawking at her or staring incredulously at you. The entire thing made you squirm in your skin, far too much attention was being placed on the two of you. However you took this opportunity to become even more physical, partially to send the onlookers’ gazes elsewhere and partly because you needed to know whether her flirtation was real or had limits. Your hand rested on her exposed mid-thigh, her hand soon covering it and moving it upward. Either this woman was the queen of acting or she wasn’t having to. Dancing was even more intimate, no matter the speed of the song she was close to you. Her hands roaming and eyes flirting. This was send your gay heart into a panic, you had absolutely no idea what to do with this kind of attention. 

“I need to ask you something and I need an honest answer.” Nat’s hands rested on your lower back and yours at the nape of her neck. Her eyes met yours and with a nod of her head her attention was yours. “Is this even fake anymore?”

“I was wondering when you’d finally ask.” She smirked, something hidden behind her eyes. “I’m not sure it ever was. Maybe when we arrived, but not for long.” 

“So you felt the same? This whole time?” She nodded, arching a brow at you. “When did you?” It was a vague question, but she knew the answer you were seeking. 

“New Years.” The drunk kiss, well half drunk apparently. Only you were tipsy, Nat barely buzzed when you pulled her in for the midnight kiss. It had been passed off as nothing, but it seems both of you knew it was so much more. “Care for a redo?”

“What?” 

“Kiss me while everyone is watching.” Your eyes glanced from hers to her lips, heart racing in your chest as you pulled her into a kiss. Deeper and deeper you fell into the kiss, soon breaking to move it elsewhere as the song ended. A round of goodnights and you were on your way back to the hotel, in the elevator, and behind a closed door. Nat had pushed it shut with her back and you were quick to pounce, tongue sliding in. Your body was coursing with adrenaline as things began escalating and your mind slowly turning to putty. “Seems Marie was right after all”

Arrow: Livin' in the Future (8x09)

Oh boy, I feel mean for saying this... but I just don't really care.

Cons:

Going into this, I knew it was the backdoor pilot episode. (Note that I'm titling it what the creators wanted to call it, instead of the name of the new show, as is standard). And I also knew it really wasn't going to be my cup of tea. I'm... weary of the Arrowverse. I think it's really sinking in for me here that Oliver fucking died, and it was in a messy and bloated crossover event that felt almost entirely divorced from the show I've been watching for eight seasons. There's really nothing left of the show I once loved - it has been fragmented and twisted past recognition. There are things about this new spin-off that seem cool and fun, and I hope, for the sake of a future with more genre shows led by female casts, that it does well. But I already know I don't care enough to tune in.

To get more granular for a moment, I found myself frustrated by this version of Star City in 2040, for the same reason I was frustrated by the flash-forwards in Season Seven. So many unanswered questions. We know that Oliver is dead... what about Felicity? Where is Diggle? Rene? Lyla? I get why every character can't be squished in here, but maybe just a mention, so we can know the status of the important players in this game? I think the obfuscation really works against the show's best interests.

Also, I know it's my own fault for not watching all of Crisis on Infinite Earths, but still... I'm confused by some of the specifics here. So we're in an alternate version of Earth, that combines all the various timelines/earths from the Arrowverse, right? So Mia and William grew up together. Does that mean everything still happened the same way, up to the point where Mia was born and Oliver had to leave for the Crisis? Because otherwise it wouldn't be Mia, right? So, again, where the heck is Felicity? And Mia is living at the Queen Mansion? Like, I guess it's good to see it, but it still feels random, and how did that end up happening?

This is a small thing, but Give. William. An Onscreen. Boyfriend. Yeesh, people. It's time.

Pros:

While the premise and characters here are not really enough to compel me to check the show out if/when it airs, I will admit I like the cheesy "girl power" thing. It's not particularly subtle, but it doesn't have to be. This is a superhero show, and Dinah, Laurel, and Mia are all bad-ass fighters with heroic hearts. It's cool to see them team up like this. And I was getting some super gay energy off of Dinah and Laurel's relationship... let's make that a thing, shall we?

I could also see, in the seeds of this set-up, ways in which it could make a cool show. You have the amnesia hook, where various characters don't remember their old lives and the Crisis, but some do, and as familiar faces keep popping up, it will always be a question of who knows what. I also like the idea of a romance between J.J. and Mia, and the complexities that have already arisen now that they both remember a very different relationship they once had. If Mia is still the hero who dons her father's outfit and saves the city, does that mean a part of J.J. is still the monster who killed Zoe?

Also, I straight-up love William. He's the best thing to happen to Arrow in its later seasons. The sibling bond between William and Mia is lovely, especially here in a world where they've known each other growing up. He's kind of a doof, but he's so smart and charming at the same time. And it is nice, you know, to have this sibling dynamic where the little sister is the protector, and the older brother is the one always in need of rescue. It might be a pretty basic inversion of a trope, but I frankly am all about that kind of indulgence!

I feel bad for this relatively short and somewhat negative review. I want this show to succeed, even if I won't be tuning in. I guess what I'm mostly feeling right now is a sense of anticlimax. Next week is Arrow's very last episode. Is Oliver really staying dead? Are we going to see Felicity again? I want to believe that I'll have a sense of culmination and completion after watching the finale next week. But for now, watching a backdoor pilot of a show I won't be watching... has left me feeling a little cold.

Pretend Boyfriend [Seokjin, Yoongi, and Hoseok]

A bit long, but then again… when aren’t they? Enjoy~

Seokjin

Lyla and Seokjin had been friends for the last three years and there was one thing Seokjin never understood. Lyla never looked remotely interested in dating. He tried to take her to group dates, but she’d only ever talk to him or the other girls. He tried to introduce her to Namjoon and Hoseok, both befriended her, as did the others, but neither of them were interested in Lyla.

Lyla was gorgeous! Seokjin didn’t feel anything special with her over a friendship. She was like his little sister that he wanted to be happy and he thought that setting her up with another guy would be the key.

One day, Lyla and Seokjin were out at a mall food court when Seokjin noticed a man eyeing Lyla. He smiled slyly as he looked at Lyla. “Look, what do you think about him?”

Lyla took a large bite of her hamburger as she looked in the direction to where he nudged his head. She grimaced, “Nahh twinks” she said with a mouth full of food. Lyla swallowed the food and wiped her mouth, “I don’t know why you keep thinking I want to da–”

An arm touched Lyla’s shoulder and she froze. “Hey, you wanna go walk the mall with me? Maybe your cousin will let you out of his sight for a bit.”

Lyla’s face twisted and Seokjin could see the sickly look she had. He cleared his throat as he reached over and moved the man’s arm. “I’d prefer it if you didn’t touch my girlfriend.” Lyla gave him a startled look.

The man held up his arms, “My bad man, thought you were cousins. You have a good date.”

He left and Lyla and Seokjin laughed. “Cousins?” Lyla wiped her eyes as she laughed harder. “I’m not even Asian, man.”

Jin let out one of his infamous windshield laugh, “But really, why didn’t you like that guy? He seemed pretty nice.”

Lyla tried to calm her laughs as she looked at Jin, but she bursted, “Dude, I’m gay… Everyone but you seem to have figured that out.”

Jin sat there in a silent shock, “So… I’ve been setting you up with the wrong people… I will find you a great girlfriend then!” He shook his head not believing he had missed all the signs. No wonder his group members weren’t interested in her.

Yoongi

Being friends for five years, Yoongi knew a thing or two about Aaliyah. He knew her favorite foods, her coffee order, and where she’d keep all her bobby-pins when she needed them. They were best friends, but they were also two fools who couldn’t realize the other liked them.

There was one thing Yoongi was always prepared for… pretending to be Aaliyah’s boyfriend. If he noticed an slight change in her body language or her face, he was by her side with and arm around her waist. Aaliyah did the same of course for him, but was always more flirty to him or touchy.

At a club, Yoongi knew there was a strong possibility he would need to step in and save Aaliyah from any prying eyes. The moment he picked her up from her place, he knew he couldn’t take his eyes off her. Her dress hugged her curves and was short enough that it left little to the imagination. Even Yoongi found himself staring and biting his lip at how amazing she looked.

“Dance with me” Aaliyah tugged Yoongi’s arm as she got off the bar stool.

Yoongi scoffed, “No way. You go.” She gave him a sour look as she let his arm go and took to the dance floor alone. Yoongi watched her as she made quick friends with a few girls on the dance floor. They began to dance together and Yoongi relaxed in his seat as he watched his friend. He took the moment to go to the restroom.

While he was away, a man made his way to the girls. His eyes wondered up and down Aaliyah’s body. He wet his lips as he moved closer to her. “Why don’t you come use those hips for some good use with me?”

Aaliyah’s face twisted in disgust, “No thanks.” She closed her fingers together as she flipped her wrist. She looked at the place she left Yoongi only to see he wasn’t there and she silently began to panic.

As she walked off, the man grasped her wrist only to have his hand yanked off. She was pulled back into a hard chest, but the cologne was enough to tell her it was Yoongi. “I believe she told you no” Yoongi growled. His hand tightened around her waist.

The man held up his hands, “Man, she didn’t tell me she had a boyfriend. She came onto me, yo.”

Aaliyah held onto Yoongi and he scoffed, “Oh yea, I could see how she threw herself on you while I was at the bar waiting for our drinks.” The man’s color drained. “Get the fuck out of here. If I catch you near my girl again, I’ll make you pay.” The man ran off.

Aaliyah didn’t know what came over her when she leaned up and pecked his lips. But after she did, she pulled back in shock, “Oh fuck… I’m sorry.”

Yoongi stared at her lips before he pulled her off the dance floor, back towards the hall that led to the restrooms, and pressed her to the wall. She went to protest, but Yoongi held up a hand to stop her. “That kiss didn’t last nearly long enough for me” he leaned down and kissed her. Maybe it was the alcohol in their systems. The liquid courage that got them to finally take that next step from fake boyfriend and girlfriend to the real thing.

Hoseok

Amii was one of those people who never saw the good of dating, but that didn’t mean she didn’t have her handful of one night stands. Most of her friends judged her for sleeping around, but Hoseok and a handful of others never did. It was rare for her to run into her night stands, but when she did, luckily she was always around one of her friends and would pull them into a fake relationship. Hoseok was no exception to this charade.

The two were out at the mall waiting for their movie time to approach. Hoseok and Amii hadn’t hung out in ages due to Hoseok’s comeback with BTS and Amii’s own work with vlogs and dance practices with Amber and Eric. They were both excited to spend the entire day together as it was a rarity for them to have off together.

Hoseok took her tray of trash and placed the trash on his before he slid the tray underneath his. “I’m going to trash these and then head to the restroom.”

She nodded as she slipped out her phone to check it. As he left, she sent a few text messages back to her friends. There was a whistle and a psst from the table behind her. She rolled her eyes as she opened a game on her phone. Another whistle sounded, far closer to her, and a larger muscular figure sit across her. “I’m not interested. If you couldn’t tell when I first ignored you.” She focused on her game.

The guy leaned forward and covered her screen with his colossal hand. She pressed her tongue to her cheek as she glared at him under her lashes. “I was just trying to get your attention, cutie.”

She tugged her phone back and pocketed, “Oh yes, I forgot, women are birds. We love being whistled at.”

The man chuckled deeply as he looked at her, “Damn, feisty. I like that.”

Amii was prepared to snap back until she was tugged out of her seat and held behind Hoseok’s back. “Really? You think you are good enough to flirt with my girl?” Hoseok wasn’t intimidate by the man’s size even as he stood and puffed out his chest.

The man scoffed as he walked past, “She ain’t even that cute. You can have her.” He mumbled as he shoved Hoseok with his shoulder.

Hoseok laughed as he watched the guy leave, “She ain’t even that cute… Yea, that’s why he was hitting on you.”

Amii threw her arms around him, “You’re my knight in shiny armor, Hobi, but you know I could have handled the guy.”

“Nope. I’m you ray of light.” He bopped her nose, “And what would you have done if he got aggressive with you?” he shook his finger with a tsk. “Now, let’s get to the movies. The movie will start soon.” The two looped arms and headed off to the theatre.

Old Lady?

“Sweetheart, what you doing here huh?”

His voice soft, just above a whisper rouses you from the half-sleep you had cried yourself into.  You said nothing, turning to look at the warm blue eyes, capped by dark brows currently furrowed in concern.

You had held a candle for Tig for a while now, not that you dared let anyone know.  He got you.  Any time you were angry or upset, he could read you so easily and always dragged you to a quiet place to find out what was bothering you.  He made you feel safe and secure when you felt vulnerable and you both had a flirty rapport when it was party time.  He’d pull you onto his lap and you’d go shot-for-shot with whatever liquor was on the go.

He never kissed you though.  You’d always been too shy to make the first move, thinking that he was happy playing the field.  You didn’t want to stop him from having fun by tying him down as his old lady-if he’d have one-so you always encouraged him to enjoy himself.

You often snuck into his bunk when he was away, craving his warmth and comforting scent.  Having fought with one of the Cara Cara girls, you had retreated into his room at the club house.  Her goading remarks about how Tig was between the sheets and how you’d never find out for yourself had struck a nerve.  Crystal could be a vindictive bitch at times and she was insanely jealous of the easy friendship you had.  Since Half-Sack’s murder, you had been touchy at the best of times, unsure how to grieve the boy you had grown up with.  You had stitched the cut that Clay was going to give him when the Sons patched him in as a full member.  Crystal had cornered you on your return from laying the jacket on his coffin.  No doubt sniffing around to see who she could rub up against, she rounded on you after Opie had pushed her away.

Shaking her off, you had curled up on Tig’s bed, one of his hoodys crushed against you as you sobbed.  It was a while after that he had found you.

“C’mon doll, tell me what’s wrong.  ‘choo hiding in here from huh?”

Your eyes brimmed with tears as you took a shaky breath, a sob escaping as you tried to speak,

“Oh baby, this about the prospect? I’m so sorry,” he enveloped you in his arms as you found yet more tears to cry.  You nodded your head against his chest as he lay down, allowing you to curl yourself into him.  When you had managed to find a level, Tig tipped your face up to him, “You come in here often when I’m away, don’t you?” he asked knowingly, watching the blush of embarrassment stain your cheeks.  He rubbed the tear marks away with a stroke of his thumb.  “I thought it was you, no-one else would have the balls to,” he grinned at your watery smile.  Your gaze followed your fingers as they traced the Sgt At Arms patch on his leather.  Taking a deep breath, you started to tell him what had happened.

“So that stupid slut decided to choose today to rag on you, of all days,” Tig sighed, shaking his head, “funny, though, I’ve never laid her.  Appreciate the good review all the same,” he sniggered.  You jerked your head up at this, a questioning look.  He traced his fingers up and down your arm as he shook his head, “That piece of pussy just never appealed,” he shrugged.  You smacked your hand on his chest lightly, and he grabbed your hand,

“You wound me,” he cried dramatically.  You laugh at his exaggeration, gazing fondly at your favourite biker.  He locked eyes with you, his smile at hearing you laugh giving way to a more solemn look.  Tig chewed his lip before taking a deep breath, huffing it out with rounded cheeks,

“I gotta ask, else I’ll go crazy wondering,” he began.  Your grin faded a little, nervous about the direction the conversation was taking,

“So ask, Tiggy,” you prompted.  His eyes crinkled at your pet name.

“Huh...well,” he tailed off, rolling his eyes at his sudden lack of vocabulary.  You leaned up on your arm, lifting your head closer to his,

“Alexander Trager, I’ve never known you lost for words, spit it out,”

He raised his eyebrows, his full name sounding foreign from your lips.

“Aargh...You know how I said I’ve never laid Candy?”

“Ye-ee-ss?”

“I was waiting for a better offer,”

“I don’t follow, Tiggy,”

“You’re the better offer,” he screwed his eyes up, not wanting to see or hear the negative response

“Wai-whut?” You were sideswiped by his admission.  He opened one eye tentatively, then both as he took in your confused expression.  He rolled his eyes and cupped your cheek in his hand, pulling your face towards his and brushing his lips against yours. As he saw you close your eyes, his fingers curled to the back of your neck and drew you in closer.  You reciprocated the kiss you had secretly longed for, feeling the tension in his body shift as he rolled you on top of him.  As the kiss broke, you leaned up slightly chewing your lip.  Tig got hold of your hands and you pushed yourself up, sitting astride his stomach.

“Stay here tonight, doll,” he said with an upward jerk of his head,

“I’d like that,” you confessed.  One thing was still puzzling you though, “How’d you know I had been in here?” you asked suddenly.  Tig grinned,

“I’ve been watching youuuuu” he teased.  You groaned at his cheesy horror-movie impression, “Nah, it was always tidier when I came back - I never make the bed,” he winked at you before rolling you over onto your back.

Leaning down to kiss you again, he nuzzled at your neck,

“Be my old lady,” he whispered.  You snorted at his joke.  Lifting himself in a press-up over you, he looked you square in the face, “Heyy, I’m serious here.  We’re practically there already, you spend as much time in my room as I do,” he nudged your nose with his as you chuckled, “Baby I want you to be mine,”

“Seriously?  You wanna be tied down to me?”

“If that’s on the table then hell yeah I do even more now!”

“You know what I mean,”

“Sweetheart, I’ve been holdin’ out for you to make a move in so long the guys think I’m gay,” he confessed with a pained look, causing you to to laugh loudly.

The door opened and Juice leaned in,

“Hey, Tig, uh Clay wants us at the table- oh, Hey (Y/N)-” he began, pausing in confusion as he processed the scene before him “uhhm, are you-i mean, wha-I uhh-” he spluttered for a moment until Tig took pity on him,

“Tell Clay I’ll be right there,” he nodded slowly at Juice, who smiled and nodded back,

“Ok, you can go now,” Tig shooed his hand at the door, “We’re busy,”

“Ok, ohhhhh! Shit, uh, ok then, I-uh,”

“Juice just go will you,” you giggled, throwing a pillow at the door as he retreated.  Tig growled playfully as he nuzzled into your neck, his beard tickling your skin causing you to squeal.

“Is that a yes then,” he asked, lips against your pulse,

“Yeah, it is-” you managed to articulate before his mouth claimed yours again, tongue parting your lips as the kiss intensified.  All too soon, you were interrupted again by someone banging on the door,

“I said I’ll be right there!” Tig yelled in frustration, returning his lips to yours.  His hand rested on the waistband of your jeans and he gave your hip a delicate squeeze as the door opened again,

“Okay then, it’s about time you two fucked, but maybe in a while, yeah?” Clay nodded, grinning wickedly at you and winking as you felt the heat rise in your cheeks, “Tig, table. Now.” he ordered before walking out,

Tig groaned, rolling his eyes, “I’m sorry, doll,” he began but you cut him off,

“Go on, before Clay rips the fucking door off,” you sniggered, pushing him in the chest.  He peppered your cheeks with kisses until you shoved him, “Go! They’re obviously waiting for you,”

“Fine,” he complained “Go help yourself to some drinks from the bar or something then while you wait,”

You followed him out, holding hands and watched him swing open the heavy wooden door to a cheer erupting round the table,

“Yeah, yeah, very funny.  I’ve got some serious wood, this better be important,” he warned the guys sat around the carved table.  As the door closed behind him, you heard Clay’s voice,

“Yeah, we’re all that happy to see you too brother,”

You shook your head smiling as you grabbed two beers and turned to go and wait for him in his room.  Gemma was leaning against the corner of the wall,

“You’re looking better honey,” she observed kindly,

“I feel it, thanks,” you grin back 

“Tig spoken to you then sweetheart?” she surmised with a knowing smile as you nodded, “Good, it’s about time.  You two belong together,” she said simply, pulling you into a hug and kissing your head.

The approval of the Samcro matriarch made you feel warm inside as you sat at the bar with her, offering her a beer.  You shot the breeze with Gemma until the guys had finished their meeting.  Lyla came through the door with Crystal and a couple of the Cara Cara girls.  They made a beeline for the guys as the double doors opened, Lyla to Opie and Crystal went straight for Tig, side-eyeing you as she did.  Your expression was smug as Tig didn’t even look at her, brushing her aside with his arm,

“Get the fuck off me,” he muttered at her.  His eyes were solely on you as you rose to your feet.  He hoisted you up into an embrace, tucking your legs around his hips as he kissed you.  His hands supported your butt cheeks, squeezing them as he carried you back to his bunk,

“Finishing what I started, no goddamn interruptions this time,” he called over his shoulder as you buried your head into his shoulder, though not before you saw Crystal storm out of the room, Gemma tipping you a wink and a satisfied smile as you and Tig rounded the corner.

[lexa-el-amin]

hey! as a reference in Gay, would u have suggestions for a lgbt themed movie marathon? i need comfort, drama, romance, anything that's good and not straight. love ya

oh my god yes! great question! I have a whole collection of wlw movies 👏 here are some I watch regularly: - D.E.B.S. - aka the fluffy easy happy enemies to lovers story everyone needs in their life. and it also is a wonderful clexa au. lucy diamond is a super villain and amy is part of a hot shot spy organisation. definitely one of my go to happy movies - imagine me & you - with lena headey from got, and piper perabo. british rom com from 2003. Rachel meets Luce, the florist, on the day of her wedding, and after that she isn't so sure anymore if Hector is the person she loves. classic gay movie!! - but I am a cheerleader - with natasha lyonne from oitnb. the cinematography!! the writing!! this is definitely a bit different but seriously one of my all time favorite movies. megan is send to conversion camp and falls in love with the bad girl. - carol - cate blanchett!!!! do I need to say more? based on the book from patricia highsmith "the price of salt", set in the 1950s it tells the story of therese, a woman in her early 20s, working at a store during christmas time and meets carol when she searches for a gift for her little daughter. so good!! so gay!! wonderful book adaptation!! - the handmaiden - also a book adaptation! and like, I read the book, and I must say: chan-wook park took everything great out of the book and ignored everything that sucked and made a wonderful movie out of it. three hour long thriller, worth every second, biggest love story, best soundtrack, beautiful cinematography, a millions twists and turns. just... masterpiece! the orphan girl sook-hee helps the count to convince a rich woman to marry her, so they can put her in an asylum and snub her inheritance. - san junipero - in case you haven't seen or heard of it yet. one hour stand alone episode of the show black mirror (season 3, episode 4) i won't say much more but it is definitely my favorite thing to watch. wonderful writing. i can't think straight - basically the story of how the director and the producer of the movie met. set in london, it tells the story of lyla, who is of indian descent, who meets tala, the girl from jordan, who bails out of wedding after wedding. cheesy, fluffy, but so good. also a book adaptation! especially deals with homosexuality and strict religious believes. and now the ones I don't gush about dailysaving face - Chinese-American girls living in New York! falling in love! especially deals with the topic of family. her mom gets pregnant with over 40 and that is a big plot point too. kyss mig - i think this one is on Netflix. stepsisters falling in love! (but it does have a lot of cheating, so I didn't enjoy it that much) and the last I can think of right now: - circumstance - this is the only one that doesn't have a happy ending. the ending is open though, so I just imagined it to be happy. it is with nikohl boosheri who plays adena on the bold type and is set in Iran. two best friends falling in love. definitely cute and a lot of potential, but the way it is directed is not that good in my opinion, you could definitely see that the director didn't have a lot of experiencei hope that helped a little 🙈 have a nice gay movie marathon 😊🌈

Best Bachelorette From Each of My 10 Favorite BokuMono Games

This is the companion to last week’s list of best bachelors. I’m going to try very, very hard to not have the Witch Princess show up three times on this list, but I don’t know how I’ll manage it. Let’s find out together.

First, An Honorable Mention: Elise

The first Story of Seasons wasn’t on my top ten list, but I wanted to mention her because she is objectively the best-written marriage candidate in the whole series. I was kind of hoping they’d do the same thing where they give a candidate a whole character arc before you can even begin courting them seriously in Trio of Towns, and they kinda did that with Inari (in that you don’t have to be dating them to see all or most of their events), but I would’ve liked to see it done to the same extent as it was for her.

I never actually got around to marrying her because I started my game over like an idiot near the end of Year 2, but I will eventually get around to doing that.

Plus, she’s kind of a mix between Witch Princess and Luna, my number 1 and 2 ranked bachelorettes overall, so that’s pretty awesome.

1. Animal Parade: Luna

So Luna’s a bit like Skye in that I’ll always go into their game thinking to myself “this time I’m going to marry somebody else”, and then half the time I’ll end up going for them anyway.

Luna has some of the best dialogue in the series. The line that made her my favorite in this game is the one where she’s all like “You seem capable, but some times you really aren’t. I have to fuss over you” (or something like that), and at some point in Tree of Tranquility she tells you you smell like cow shit. It’s pretty great.

2. Sunshine Islands: Witch Princess

The Witch Princess is awesome. She’s the only bachelorette I’ve married in the Island games, which is going to make the next entry somewhat difficult since I can only speak to surface impressions of the others.

I mentioned a couple years ago on my main blog (I’m not going to even try to find the post) that one of the things I like so much about her is that very few mischievous characters in fiction are adult women. They tend to be man-children, or regular children, and when those regular children are girls, they’re almost always tomboys. Witch Princess is not a tomboy. She doesn’t seem to care much about her hair, but she wears a dress and likes likes teddy bears. 

Basically, she’s different and fun and cool and I love her.

3. Island of Happiness: Lanna

Not a season goes by that I don’t complain about how much I hate idols, but I really like Lanna. They could’ve very easily made her either stuck up and lazy, or a ditzy airhead. She can be a bit of a ditz, that’s not really her primary character trait. She talks about wanting to get her career back on track, but she also seems perfectly happy with things as they are.

Her personality doesn’t deviate too much from idol standards, but she’s still a sweet girl who likes fish and never acts like she’s better than anyone else just because she used to be famous, and if I were to ever decide to marry someone other than Witch Princess, I’d probably go for her.

4. Hero of Leaf Valley: Aurelia

I’m not actually going for anyone specific on my currently playthrough of HoLV because I’m curious to see which girl confesses to me at the end of Year 2 just from my going about my usual business (judging by heart colors, it seems it’ll mostly likely be either Lyla or Gwen), but Aurelia is a cool lady. She’s the cool big sis type that I don’t generally go for, but seem fun to hang out with. I bet she gets into drinking contests with Woody all the time. I also bet she tends to win.

5. Harvest Moon DS Cute: Leia

Why oh why did the Best Friend system have to go? I know it only ever existed to cover up a glitch, but I would’ve liked it to stay. Maybe one day we’ll get a remake that has it. That’d be nice.

Anyway, I like Leia because she has green hair and lives in your duck pond and her Japanese name is Lettuce.

6. Back to Nature: Ann

I like all the Mineral Town bachelorettes except Mary, but Ann was the one I married the last time I played Back to Nature. She said our baby looked like a monkey so I named it Monkey.

Don’t really have much else to say about her. I like Ann. She’s cute.

7. Harvest Moon 64: Elli

All the girls in HM64 have great character arcs, but Elli’s is the best. It kinda sucks that you have to essentially kill her grandma to get to her great character arc, but those are the sacrifices we must make for the sake of character development.

8. Friends of Mineral Town: Karen

Karen’s cool. She’s the same type as Aurelia, but has that cool hair (even though in this game it’s actually all blonde, which stinks). I like that she gives you free grass seeds. That’s nice of her.

9. Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns: Siluka

Even though crossdressing is a thing in this game so I could technically be a gay dude with my pick of the litter, being misgendered bothers me way more than not being able to date a dude as a dude, so I still play a character the game recognizes as male. And, even though I’m currently going for Inari because they’re the closest thing the game has to a gay option, Siluka makes me laugh and I always marry characters who make me laugh, so I was married to her briefly (I ended up starting over. I have a problem).

Also, fun, somewhat unrelated side-story, my first time through, when I was still deeply infatuated with The Ridiculously Handsome Guy, I started going for Kasumi, so we could be each other’s beards. I didn’t stick with that plan, but it was something I seriously jokingly considered for quite a while.

10. Rune Factory: Mei

Story Time!

Back when the first Rune Factory came out, my siblings and I were obsessed. As a result, we had multiple copies and multiple DS’s to play them on, so I was able to get the level 70-whatever fish to marry this mean lady. I was really disappointed she wasn’t in Frontier, cause even though she’s a mean lady (and do we ever find out her backstory? I don’t think that we do), she’s also a cool lady.

So, there’s the list of the girls. Why are blonde bachelorettes always cool? I mentioned last week that I don’t like blondes, and this list is making me look like a liar.

Oh, well. Look at the spinny cow.

[so-caffeinated]

I remember you saying something in an ask or in the fic, that Oliver and Felicity wouldn't tell the Diggles that Ellie was gay and liked Sara, it's her secret and her life. Do Digg and Lyla ever find out or suspect while they're still in the pining/platonic stage?

Oh, for sure. They’re both very observant people. I have no doubt that they knew that very early on - probably before Ellie was even aware that her dad knew. But there’s a lot of respect for Ellie - and probably some sympathy, given that she’s so much younger and Sara is clearly oblivious - and no one is going to force that issue before she’s ready. Even amongst themselves, I think at most there’s a stressed sigh from Oliver watching the girls together and seeing Ellie looking longingly, at which Digg squeezes his shoulder and they share a knowing look. The Diggles love Ellie, too. Obviously. And both Digg and Lyla wish they could make this easier on her, but they can’t. The best they can do is respect her boundaries and let her deal with everything the way she best sees fit.
