#oh kevin. i wish i could tell you how much i love you.

kevin kevin KEVIN

[jacenotjason]

OK this will be an extremely long ask i am sorry. i love radford

i havent sent an ask to people in years but i am one of the radford fans of all time and demonic possession is a fun concept to me, so the idea of gadreel possessing him specifically makes me INSANE

i just think itd work extremely well. radford doesnt take anything seriously and doesnt understand boundaries, but he always puts his concern for others first and his well-being last. he annoys father gregor and compares him to priests hes seen in the movies, and he does spray holy water + offer free candy against kevins wishes, but he also warns rick about the trouble he could get himself into when not giving the right movie tickets, and helps kevin with his job with no pay in mind. hes annoying, but his heart is in the right place

but gadreel is the Ultimate Prankster. him trying to imitate radford would backfire Hard, because gadreels idea of fun is,, More Extreme. he allows kids to enter adult films, he steals candy and says its fine since hes friends with kevin, he tells his friends and brother to break the rules and disrespect authority, etc etc. im unsure what gadreels motives are other than to ruin everyones day, but hes doing a damn good job at it. all the blame is going to radford, and honestly, its just So Easy to blame him for it

i imagine it takes a while for most people to figure out that somethings wrong with radford. he does what he wants freely, wherever and whenever, so these mistakes could be rationalized by him having an off-day. i assume rad would look extremely tired after a days long session of gadreel torturing him (because he loves pushing the human body. bill cipher behavior). but i think what makes everyone truly concerned is when "radford" starts involving Others in his antics

it isnt like rad to encourage bad behavior. he would never tell rick to swap the prices of two items at his new job, or tell robert the best blind spots to steal from stores, or forcing kevin to take his anger out on someones property. the radford everyone knows is ditzy, but kindhearted. if theres trouble, radford would be the only perpetrator

and god, imagine how much worse it gets if "radford" gets in trouble with the police. john would be frustrated seeing his own nephew be so careless and cruel all of a sudden. itd probably even make him spiral and assume the cult had something to do with it, and that john and his family arent safe like he thought. and i think gadreel relishes in that knowledge

im also so curious as to how gadreel and radford met and how long the possession lasted, maybe it was a week? in my head, he came to radford in the form of a snake before revealing his true self and attacking, leaving no time for rad to fully process it and run away. i also assume skid and pump will have some involvement, and pumps eyes turning blue will be a clear sign that "radford" is associated with a demonic entity, or Is one. either way i love gadreels character being a "twisted" version of radfords if that makes sense

so um ya sorry for the longest ask ever. heres a drawing

OPOOOHMYGOHMOSIEJHIOSRHGIUSADHRUITGHSDUIGSDB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!??!?!?!?!? FUCK OK OKAYAKOAJTYAOKATY THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS SO COOL

THANK YOU FOR THE DRAWING, EATING IT, YOUR POINTS ARE ALL CORRECT

Unlike Moloch whose possessions are more brutal and obvious, Gadreel hides and youre so right! Hes here for the long haul babey!!

yes i imagine the possession lasted about a week, week and a half. Gadreel can't feel pain (at least Radfords pain i mean, he has a higher pain tolerance, as a demon yknow) so he could very well accidentally snap a bone as Radford and not even notice. What im saying is Rad is hospitalized afterwards

AUGHHH the police thing. Gadreel sees the cops and WANTS to get caught by them, just for goofs. in a "Oh what would happen if i did this :)" way.

GOD THIS IS SO COOL YOURE LITERALLY THE BEST

OH!! AND ON THE SUBJECT OF HOW RAD AND GADREEL MET !!

Instead of possessing Patty in the morgue, Gadreel took the form of a snake and.... left lmao. or got noticed and thrown out bc oh my god a snake

he ended up near the candyclub and radford was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Gadreel saw Radford as a hiding place and a means to have fun.

I imagine Moloch doesnt care about what his vessels look like, meanwhile Gadreel won't possess someone if he thinks theyre lame. like yeah he couldve possessed patty but then he would've had to.... do stuff. eugh. This guy looked WAY more fun.

im actually vibrating yourel iterally the coolest dawg.

Hyunjin in relationships Astro pt.2

This is the second part of my other Hyunjin reading. I'm going to be so for real here, I was going to add more aspects and stuff I look into but this is already way too long. So...Yeah. Also, preferably you should start with my tarot reading here

Pt. 1

So, to start, if Hyunjin was married to his partner he'd like their marriage to be very orderly and structured. He'd want a balanced family life that's harmonious and a place where he and his family can be truly at ease. Though if he ever had kids he'd definitely struggle with laying down the law for them and probably be prone to spoiling them rotten, so his partner would have to be the authoritative figure.

He's very responsible and practical in matters of the heart, all things considered. At first when he falls it's a steady, controlled love before it very quickly consumes his entire being because that's how he is.

His love is definitely the type that flip-flops. It could go from calm, fluffy romance to (Tell me why I was about to put Kevin Gates...Never that) this passionate, fiery, sensual kind of romance.

He could be prone to...Abusing his natural sexuality? Like he'll use...Intimacy to get out of situations or gain what he wants. Like (I'm trying to keep this PG13 so bear with me here and I really don't know if I used the right bear but it's like 3:00 AM and I can't be assed to check) for example, him and his partner have a disagreement about something so he uses his...Body against them? Like next thing you know you're rolling around in the sheets unable to think straight and he's like "So yeah can we get a dog?" And naturally you say yes because you're not thinking straight because it's Hwang motherfucking Hyunjin and next thing you know you have a dog

Arguments? Minor quarrels? Jealousy? Etc. etc. Any and everything

Hyunjin 100% is the type of partner to take you on a date to the mall and something and it's almost like a mini fashion show. You'll probably walk out with arms full of new clothes.

So much in his chart revolves around either sexuality or romance. Like it's split 50/50. So.

He's most definitely the jealous type. He gets very paranoid and overthinks everything. Probably the type that doesn't introduce you to the group or his friends for a while, not because he wants to hide you but because he's scared you'll fall for one of them or vice versa, and he just overthinks everything.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hyunjin has had breakups because he cheated. LIKE, I think he's a generally loyal partner, but he's very influenced by the people around him. If they're cheating, he thinks it's okay for him to. And cheating is very normalized in Korea, ESPECIALLY via prostitution, and he has a very strong sex drive. Granted, apparently he has a very religious background which would kind of repel him from cheating? So it's a toss up.

But he's also very restless. If things are the same for too long he grows bored of it. If things are too easy for too long he grows bored of it. And then he starts to wander. And settling down in general is a task for him. And sure he should probably just break up if he notices his eye wandering, but he doesn't want to hurt you, so naturally (note my sarcasm, but this is just how I see his logic being), he just needs to keep it a secret and stay with you, right?

Then you find out.

But with Hyunjin...He could be cheating for YEARS before you find out.

Now, if he has a lot of positive influences cheating won't be something you have to worry about. And even if his eye wanders he'll probably just break up because he doesn't wish to hurt you.

And if he's genuinely in love with you you don't have to worry about him cheating either.

But do you remember how I said he's prone to be in relationships but never in love with the other party? Yeah.

He also expects impossible and unreasonable things from his partners.

He's drawn to things that are forbidden, and loves a chase in love. Not in the sense of "Oh, let's pursue this person who so obviously wants me to stop" but kind of in the sense that in love he likes someone who keeps him on his toes and makes him have to work hard for it, but not too hard. Just that little push and pull.

He'd probably try a lot of new things if he knows you like or are interested in them.

Books I've read in the last few months and recommend (and yes, all of them are queer)

Book recs 1 / Book recs 2

Info and ratings of each book underneath!

Between Perfect and Real by Ray Stoeve

Dean thought he was a lesbian for a long time, but he then learns what transgender is and starts to think about his own gender and how he feels like a boy, he's just scared of how he will tell his friends and his girlfriend, who is also a lesbian

Really good book and explained it all super well, really good rep tbh and even though everyone is messy in some way you feel for (almost) every character 8/10 (trans men, trans women, non binary, lesbian, gay and bisexual characters)

Dear Wendy by Ann Zhao

We follow Jo and Sophie during their first year at Wellesley College, who meet in a class and become friends, but what they don't know is that they also know each other online, as Wendy and Wanda and they don't exactly get along swimmingly. Oh, they are both also aroace, and become closer after telling each other that

If you're aspec or questioning it or just want to know more about it and what we go through in this world as aroace people? This is the book for you, it's so good and so relatable 10/10 (Asexual, aromantic, bisexual, lesbian, pansexual, demisexual and non binary characters)

I Wish You All the Best by Mason Dever

Ben comes out to their parents and gets kicked out, making them call their sister who they hadn't seen in 10 years to pick them up, and even if their life is shitty in that moment, happier days are to come

I loved this story so so much but I wanted to kill the parents. Really well written and the sibling and friends are so loveable! 9/10 (non binary, queer, pansexual and bisexual characters)

I'll Be Home For Christmas by Mason Deaver

Takes place 4 months after iwyatb at christmas time, Ben wants to surprise Nathan but a snowstorm gets in the way... Or does it?

Loved this short story so much! You just fall in love with Ben and Nathans love! And wow in both books I could relate to Ben's anxiety so much it was scary 10/10 (non binary, queer, pansexual and bisexual characters)

Like real people do by E. L. Massey

Eli, a disabled 18 year old who loves to skate runs into Alex, a 19 year old famous hockey player, and they quickly become friends, but soon develop feelings for each other and must figure out if an out guy and a closeted guy can be together

Adorable, just fucking adorable I love this book so much and the two main characters and their friends are absolute sweethearts, was thinking this book wasn't going to be for me cause hockey isn't something I like but wow was I wrong, so glad I gave this book a chance 10/10 (gay and bisexual characters)

Like you've nothing left to prove by E. L. Massey

Second book of "Like real people do" and follows Eli and Alex navigate their relationship as well as their passions, hockey and figure skating

If you loved the first book this is just a continuation of it and again, so adorable and loveable, just a delight to read 10/10 (gay and bisexual characters)

Milo and Marcos at the end of the world by Kevin Christopher Snipes

His last year of high school and a familiar face appears after three years. Milo remembers Marcos from camp and hasn't stopped thinking about him, and maybe the same can be said about Marcos?

This was a rollercoaster to say the least lol but very interesting read, and Milo and Marcos are very lovable characters (even though stubborn sometimes but who isn't?) And Vanessa is the best friend anyone can have. Although the religious themes was sometimes too much, but understandable why it was put there 8/10 (gay characters)

The Passing Playbook by Isaac Fitzsimons

Spencer changes schools since the previous one wasn't accepting of his transgender identity, and the new one is more open to queer people, and they also have a football/soccer team which he would love to join

Such a sweet story and I just loved all the kids, Spencer and Justice are so cute together, all the teammates are super nice and Theo (Spencer's autistic younger brother) is absolutely adorable, really nice read 10/10 (Transgender, queer, gay and bisexual characters)

They hate each other by Amanda Woody

Dylan and Jonah don't get along, they hate each other, but after deciding to fake date to get everyone in school off their backs by saying they would make the perfect couple, over time they might realize that they were right

Loved this book so much!!! Wanted to adopt Jonah and hug Dylan, protect these boys at all costs, and Jonahs sisters were too adorable, even though it had heavy topics it was really well done (yeah a lot of scenes almost made me cry, both in a bad way ans good way lol) 10/10 (bisexual, transgender and asexual characters)

Upside Down by N. R. Walker

Jordan might be asexual but he isn't sure, so Merry his best friend takes him to an aro/ace meeting to learn and get some answers, and he might just get them and more...

There are no fucking words for this book, but I will say that you will not stop smiling and laughing and crying throughout, all the characters are so genuine and lovable and I want to know them irl, could not recommend enough 10/10 (gay, lesbian, asexual, aromantic, bisexual, poly)

[seramilla]

Another offering for the Homophobic Elders AU:

Carmilla is once again brought before the Council of Elders after being tortured for another couple of months? years? She's lost count. Despite this however, she still refuses to reveal her beloved's name, Sera. She swore during the first "session" that no matter what they do to her, she would protect her love, DAMN the consequences.

"Carmilla," an Elder spoke. Carmilla raises her head, her face bloody and bruised as she glared at the terribly, hidden, smug look in the Elder's eyes."You have been found guilty of blasphemy through your lustful actions with another woman" the Elder continues, "Because WE follow the Holy Father's teachings, we shall again show mercy and offer you leniency. If only you provide the name of your 'lover' " They spat the word as if it was poison. Carmilla remains silent, glaring at the Elders. Realizing she AGAIN won't speak they sneered down at this "angel".

"This shall be your final warning. If you continue to be stubborn we will have no choice but to banish you to Hell" They said as they opened a portal to Sama- Lucifer's domain directly behind her. She immediately tried to turn around when she felt Hell's flaming heat kiss her back and the Realm strongly pull her towards the portal. They wanted to scare her, Carmilla WOULD be, had this happened earlier in her torture but instead, now, all she felt was... acceptance. She wishes she could see Sera one last time. Hold her, kiss her, tell her how much she loves her. But to keep her beloved safe, Carmilla will do Whatever It Takes.

Knowing what awaits her, she felt herself slowly relax. Smirking, she looks back up at the Elders. The smug look on their faces slowly giving way to frustration as they realize she's not even remotely intimidated.

Carmilla starts to sing

"I don't want your prayers

No, my soul don't need no saving

I don't need no Pious Creed

When with her, I've found Heaven

In our bodies, in our blood

A more immaculate communion

Oh, she brings me to my knees

Genuflect like Mary Magdalene

You, you wanna burn me

Wanna crucify my name

If you, you call it sin

How come she loves me like a saint?

Crown me with thorns

For her, I'll gladly be a martyr

My dear if Hell's the price, I'll love and cherish you FOREVER"

She loudly proclaims her love for Sera one last time before she was finally pulled into the portal. Laughing with glee as she heard the Elders' shout profanities after her. Carmilla hopes Sera can forgive her, maybe in another life, they could be happy. Maybe in another life, Carmilla could be stronger.

No further comment, your honor. 😭😭😭

[in-my-loki-feels]

🖤 President Loki + Don (I feel like this one is hard mode.)

This was a little hard, but I do love a challenge. <3 (Also, tumblr was being bitchy so sorry the indents are weird.)

tw blood/wounds

🖤 kissing while crying / goodbye kiss / desperation

“Do not open this door under any circumstances.” Loki dropped his hands to his sides and twin daggers appeared in them. A portal opened in place of the front door, giving Don a brief glimpse of the task force gathered outside. Then Loki stepped through and it closed behind him.  “Okay, boys, upstairs,” Don said. He hurried them into the second floor’s bathroom, as if this were a storm they were hiding from.  Well, they didn’t write about how to survive a siege in any of the parenting books he’d read.  “Is Loki gonna be okay?” Sean asked.  “He’ll be fine,” Don said. Then the gunfire started. 

They all flinched at the sound, Don instinctively trying to cover the boys with his body even though it was muffled and obviously outside. He got them all down on the floor and said, “Sean, cover your ears.” 

He put his own hands over Kevin's ears. Both boys stared at him in mute terror. Don tried to mask his own fear, but it was clawing up his insides.  They all knew Loki was extremely powerful, a god, with who knew how much magic at his disposal. He'd be fine. Don kept telling himself that as they clung to each other, shivering and waiting for the fight to end. He didn’t know how long it took but eventually there was silence. Don strained to hear any kind of sound, good or bad.  “There. Hardly worth the effort.” The sound of Loki's voice from inside the house had Don jumping to his feet.  “Stay here,” he told his sons and rushed out into the hall and down the stairs.  Loki stood in front of the front door, seemingly unharmed. He looked up at Don with a smug smile.  “Oh, thank god.” Don almost fell down the stairs in his rush to reach Loki, but when he tried to hug him, he passed through the space where Loki should be. The Loki who’d been in front of him vanished.  “Damn. I should have expected that.”  It was Loki's voice, strained and coming from Don's left. He turned and found Loki slouched against the wall, looking halfway to collapsing on the floor. Sweat beaded his brow and he had both hands pressed to his side. Dark red blood seeped through his fingers and stained his suit coat. “Oh, my god.”  “What’s wrong? Is Loki hurt?” Kevin called out   “Can we come downstairs?” Sean said. 

“No!” Don shouted, then closed his eyes and took a breath. His fear would only make theirs worse. “Stay upstairs for now, please.” “I thought I’d made it clear I was to be your only god,” Loki said with a half-smile, before sliding down to land on his ass.  “Jesus, Loki.” Don dropped to his knees beside him. “What do I do?” There was so much blood. They needed to stop it somehow, but he was too afraid to leave Loki’s side. He swallowed, then raised his voice. “Sean, can you bring me the first aid kit under the sink and some towels?” In a quieter tone, he asked, “Are they all...?” “Of course they’re dead. What do you take me for?” Loki tried to roll his eyes but didn’t seem to have the energy for it. “Dead or wishing they were, anyway.”  Two sets of feet thundered down the staircase—of course, there was no way Kevin would have stayed up there—and Don stood quickly to try and block their view. He was too late. Both boys peered around him with wide eyes, their faces pale with fear.  “Are you gonna die?” Kevin whispered.  “I am a god, you simple child,” Loki said, but in place of his usual venom there was only exhaustion. “I will not be brought down by something as absurd as this.” Will not, instead of cannot. So he could die. Don had known he wasn’t invincible but it still wasn’t a truth he wanted to face. He suddenly couldn’t breathe and his eyes burned. The brave face he was clinging to for the boys’ sake was slipping.  “Sean, Kevin, go back upstairs. I’ll be up in a second, okay?”  “Shouldn’t we call—”  “Just go. Please.” He wasn’t sure they would listen, but they stared at Loki a moment more and then retreated back upstairs.  Don returned his attention to Loki, whose eyes were closed now. He pulled Loki’s hands away from the wound and pushed aside his clothes. Don’s stomach flipped at what he found.  It seemed like a gunshot wound, but Don couldn’t look at it for long. He fumbled for the first aid kit, leaving smears of Loki’s blood on it. His hands were shaking so much he almost couldn't open the gauze packet, but it finally tore in half and he pressed the square that fell out against the wound in Loki's abdomen. Loki flinched but didn't make a sound. He was somehow even paler than before.  Something splashed onto the back of Don’s hand as he struggled with a second packet. It happened again, drops of water falling to mix with the blood. No, tears. Now that they'd started Don couldn't seem to stop them. He blinked furiously to clear his vision and pressed the second gauze patch over the first, which was already turning red. He placed Loki’s hand over the spot and was alarmed by how pliant Loki was.  “Loki?” No response. “Hey, open your eyes.” 

When Loki still didn’t react, Don leaned forward to kiss him. It was stupid, this wasn’t a fairytale where a kiss healed all, but he didn’t know what else to do.  Loki’s lips were slack for two horrifyingly long seconds before he made a small sound and began to kiss Don back. Don could taste the saltiness of his own tears and the metallic tang of Loki’s blood. He brought a hand up to Loki’s cheek as the kiss became more desperate, trying to hide from the terrifying reality that awaited him once he stopped. But it couldn’t last forever. When he pulled back, Loki’s eyes were open in slits; he seemed to be making an effort to stay awake now.    “You can’t die, okay?” Don said. “The boys would really hate it if you did.” It was barely a joke, with his voice shaking as much as it was, but he saw the corner of Loki’s mouth twitch.  “Wouldn't be the first time,” Loki mumbled, which didn’t help the panic churning in Don’s chest.   In a minute, Don would tape the gauze down, then go wash his hands and find the boys to tell them that everything would be all right. He'd check the front lawn to see if there were bodies to explain to the neighbors, and try to get Loki laid out more comfortably.  But for now, he stayed by Loki’s side, covering Loki’s hand with his own, and tried to find reassurance in the rise and fall of his stomach.

“Loving something is not enough,” Jean told him, right on cue. ​“When is the last time you enjoyed playing?” Jeremy asked. ​“Irrelevant,” Jean said. “I am Jean Moreau; I am perfect Court. I do not need to enjoy it to be the best backliner in the NCAA.”

that was what Jean felt safest in, Jeremy would back his decision wholeheartedly.

LITERALLY LEAVE ME ALONE

LAILA CAT JEAN FRIENDSHIP IS REAL

Afternoons were filled with whatever the women were in the mood for that day, be it wandering downtown, shopping, or combing through estate sales.

Jean went where they took him because it was better than being left in the house alone,

-

COOKING IS HEALING JEAN ITS A COMFORT THING SHUT THE FUCK UP THIS IS EVERYTHUNG HES SO REAL FOR THAT

-

Ravens graduated; they didn’t leave.

fuck if that didn’t just stop my heart

-

i definitely should have been more wary of the trigger warnings. if anyone is wanting to read the book but is worried about certain parts, i’d be happy to let y’all know what sections are triggering so u can try and skip around them.

-

But Jean was not a Raven, and Wayne was dead.

FUCK YEAH BABY NOT ANYMORE U ARENT

-

the thought of that quiet space with its single bed was so repulsive he turned toward the living room instead. - this is so important to me

He could sense the others’ presence even if they weren’t around to bother him, and that was enough to take the edge off the loneliness eating at his heart.

literally end my life i’m so happy for jean, he’s healing slowly but surely

-

this was better than anything he’d ever had. It was worlds more than he deserved. He feared it as much as he wanted it;

JEAN U DO DESERVE IT I PROMISE U

-

wait wtf,, zane is reacher??? in literally every raven fic ever reacher is the most abusive character other than riko

OH. I am just adding onto my #1 Riko hater agenda right now.

“The golden rule— not where the public can see” DIE. LITERALLY DIE TETSUJI

“The lack of broken fingers this time” THIS TIME??? JEAN. JEAN.

im so.

RENEE!!!

“and he had wasted them texting Renee a heads-up.” Nora please we’re only four pages in bro

Renee i love you im marrying you please give me a kiss. Mwah Mwah Mwah. She said “Bitch. Lay back down.”

currently also reading a batshit raven!neil fic and just. on the ground. about all of this.

stop the way I literally went “who the fuck is Nathaniel” Im too transgender for this.

Me, seeing the Abby content we need in this world:

Jean dont call that hellscape home bbg

Renee beating self worth into this man. ily

“Jean couldnt remember the last time he was allowed to wear color” LITERALLY KILL ME

Nora I need you to be less good at describing pain please and thanks

NOT THE BITING

DADMACK DADMACK DADMACK DADMACK!!

he fr be moving this man like a doll. love you wymack

tied him up with racquet laces I. h. lays on floor softly crying.

NOT THE DADDY ISSUES

Jean fr out here plotting 50 ways to kill his brother. he fr though Neil was the problem. no girl Neil just has no tact and autism rizz. Kevins the fucking snitch

no one:

Jean @ the Moriyamas;

“that man is years overdue for a head-on high-speed collision” YOU TELL EM DADMACK

CHAPTER TWO:

Jean please just sleep like a normal human man. God.

Even Jean be out here like “Kevins a little Chihuahua ass drama queen. Bitchboy. Wet cat man.”

Kevin: look, bro, if the 5’3 twink with enough daddy issues to make riko blush and chugs ‘fuck around and find out’ juice for breakfast can escape the moriyamas and not die, so can you.

Testuji. Testuji when I catch you. Tetsuji

Jean what the fuck makes you think anyone but Andrew Minyard will ever tell Neil what to do. Girl.

“If I am not a Raven, who am I?” A MOTHERCUCKING TROJAN BABYYYY

“I have to go to my next class.” I forgot they were in college deadass. Neil is straight up my age im gonna throw up.

Okay. It is. *checks time* 3 AM. I cannot keep my eyes open, which means i must put Jean away for sleep.

ITS IS NOON THE FOLLOWING DAY. I HAVE SLEPT. I HAVE TAKEN MY MEDICATIONS. TIME TO HYPERFOCUS BABY.

KINDLE SAYS WE HAVE 8 hrs 27 mins LEFT IN THIS BOOK. IM SAYING GOODBYE TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I’LL SEE Y’ALL AT DINNEE TIME. ITS JEAN TIME.

Hiiiiiii Thea….

“Good morning, Paris.” Now, the average man will see this as a reference to his frenchness. but real ones know Paris is prince of Troy, the man who married Helen of Troy & started the Trojan war.

do y’all think Jean has a french accent wait wait wait. obviously itd be very slight at this point but is it there. necessary question.

Assessing Thea like a fucking state exam right now. Neil could not have cared less about your ass I am gaining so much information

Hate of my life Riko moriyama.

CHAPTER THREE:

JEREMY FUCKING KNOW HI BAYYYBY

the way I literally got up and had to pace and stim for a moment even though I fully expected this. autism. my roommate is concerned. not really. she’s used to this she watched me read TKM and dramatically reenact the Ichirou Car Talk.

wow??? AFTG team actually seems happy and well-adjusted and friendly with each other??

Random Note: I’m currently watching Blue Exorcist & one of the main characters is a girl name Moriyama and I’m literally just sitting here like “This girl is way to nice and innocent to have that name.” Because she literally is the nicest girl to ever exist. Why is she cursed with the same name as my mortal enemy (Testuji)

“Tonight’s experiment was the icing on the cake, an invaluable experience no matter how it ended.” Jeremy, my love.

He has empathy… Never before seen footage. Y’all get the cameras!!

He’s so shaken about Jean,,, holding you so gently Jeremy. Here as a guy who knows nothing at all about Jeremy since I’m. so new here. but god.

Jeremy: are you sure a Raven can abide by Troja—

Kevin: Bro Jean is so pathetic he’s a bottom fr. He never disobeys an order

Jeremy: I. Okay you didnt have to say it like that, bro.

I will literally never stop respecting the Trojans strat in the final they really said. “If these fucks can win the championships with nine players, surely we can.” and then willingly got their asses handed to them.

“Xavier stumbled when he got the next serve off, and the Fox guarding him gamely hauled him back upright before running for the ball. It was a simple gesture, but it endeared Jeremy to them” I dont remember if this bit was described in tkm so i’m going to guess that’s Nicky or Matt. Aaron would fucking never.

Nah because like. Yes this proved to the Trojans how resilient the Foxes were, but it was also a message to the audience, yk? Like we know the Foxes were getting shit for their quick rise to the top after they pulled their shit together, but I personally think that the Trojans did this both for their improvement & for Foxes’ publicity. This game proved to the public at large how devastatingly *good* the Foxes were, because of their small size. The second best team in the league crumbled playing the same conditions the Foxes did *every game* and got to championships with. They proved that Foxes were, in fact, a D1 team who earned their keep.

oh hes got daddy’s money. Well. not. officially. yo what I mean.

“it was always best to have a paper trail” Neil Josten would have an anuerysm hearing those words.

Bye Jeremy I’m. Love you so much. Why do you feel like a sixty year old man in your early twenties.

“between seven and twelve students.” yikes.

“unfamiliar and accented voice.” I WAS RIGHT I FUCKING CALLED IY HES GOT AN ACCENT BABY FUCK YEAH

“you ever feel like— like you’re making a choice you cant come back from? But even knowing everything could go completely sideways, you’d make that choice every time?” okay so coming out allegories i could make aside, Jeremy is so… where to start with him. He reminds me of Percy Jackson. Endlessly loyal and selfless to the point its a bit stupid but endearingly stupid.

CHAPTER FOUR:

Okay so we’re alresdy hateflirting. noted.

Its also extremely sunny today in Podunk Hicksville where I live so it feels very On Brand.

“Jean had seen that smile in a half-dozen broadcast… He could picture it too easily, and he dug his fingernails into his own face in vicious warning.” Awww you think you can best the gay worms in your brain. goodluck with that Johnny.

“isn’t that reason enough to keep living? To rediscover simple delight one moment at a time,” keeping this quote for eternity

“enough sunlight to chase away Evermore’s shadows. They are willing to take a chance on you. Aren’t you?”

Kevin Day autistic king. taking this hesdcannon to my grave .

“the conspiracy theorists were working overtime” no girl they just aint stupid.

THEY DESTROYED HIS POSTCARDS…

CHAPTER FIVE:

I want to start keeping record of all the times Jean is like “[name] wasn’t decent enough to [thing]” because its SO funny. We LOVE a petty king.

also keeping track of all the insults he throws at Neil.

Neil likes to think he’s SUUUUCH a loner boy no friends angsty “dont speak to me” resting bitch face ass motherfucker. In reality he is a jack russell terrier — ceritifed jack russell owner who’s dog thinks hes soooo big and bad but said dog literally cries when you dont let him in the bed or say hi to people on the street

Jean is SOOOOOO dramatic 😭😭

Jean: Why would you let Kevin do this.

Neil: let him?? He did that on his own.

Jean: you’re proud of him for being a problem, arent you?

Neil: oh you fucking know I am, bitchass

“but other than his outstanding murder charge there was nothing interesting about that Fox.” i’d consider that very interesting information, Jean. Youre just deranged

“with milk, juice, and vodka dominating one shelf” that’s Aaron, Nicky, Andrew/Kevin in order. Im correct.

“There was an entire drawer dedicated to cheese.” Yeah that sounds like Nicky.

“Half the drawer was full of mini candy bars. Jean threw them all into the trash” bro Andrew is going to kill you in cold blood and not even Neil can save you.

Jean is SO dramatic. Give him Kevin’s crown.

Jean @ Neil during the final: ARE YOU WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE????? ARE YOU STUPID??? DO YOU WANT TO DIE??

Seeing the media coverage of the championship is the food I needed thank you Nora for this. I am eating it up. om nom nom

The sportscasters referring to athletes with their first name is batshit. What. why. huh. Absolutely not.

CHAPTER SIX:

Renee protecting Jean from discovering Riko’s death through media & not through them…

Everytime boys start fistfighting in this series I hear Roxanne from Megamind. “Ladies, ladies, you’re BOTH pretty.”

a) Jeans reaction to finding out was exaclty what I expected

b) I’m FASCINATED to know who called campus security. Jeremy?? Renee?? Someone in Fox tower???

Neil was gentle with someone other than Andrew? I didnt know he knew how to do that…

NEIL. NEIL JOSTEN. YEAH BABY

HES ROOMING WITH CAT AND LAILA??? YES YEA YES YESY

the Jean-Renee dynamic is so fucking important to me. MLM/WLW solidarity. theyre besties.

THEYRE SO IMPORTANT TO ME BRO.

Literally snuggling Jeremy

Oh he’s got Fox potential. Hiiii Jeremy. Give me the traumadump bbg

THEY/THEM??? DO MY EYES DECEIVE ME OR IS THIS AN HONEST TO GOD THEY/THEM PLAYER OH ILL CRY. ILL CRU RIGHT NOW

CHAPTER SEVEN:

Oh Jean. you’re about to have such a gay awakening babe i can feel it in my bones.

A FUCKING YOYO??? I LOVE HIM

“A mite bit hecked up” PLEEEASE JUST SAY FUCK /ref

OH HE WAS IN LOVE WITH KEVIN. INTERESTING INTERESTING INTERESTING.

autism coded lookingg motherfucker (stares at Jean.)

The chaos of Cat and Laila’s house is so fucking cute. Its about to be two lesbians and their distrustful pitbull rescue in this bitch and im ready for it.

CHAPTER EIGHT:

watching normal people discover the cult that is Evermore. Finally someone having a normal response to that madness. What the FUCK.

wait theres actually a cardboard dog i thought it was fanon joke.

oh my god there is actually a fucking cardboard dog. i.

jeans brain just got actually shattered by this living room. he cannot comprehend this.

Cat & Jeremy, realizing the cult rumors are real: I THOUGHT YOU WERE KIDDING! I thought it was joke! I even wrote it down in my diary! “Kevin made a very funny joke today!” I laughed at it later that night!

Okay, last night; I went to bed at 2:30 AM 45% through (college my beloathed). we’re back in business.

Jeremy is so disturbed all of the time. goofy ass.

“Loving something is not enough,”

“When was the last time you enjoyed playing?”

“ Irrelevant.”

Whats his shirt look like Jeremy. Jeremy whats the shirt look like. Jeremy. Whats the shirt look like.

Okay so I’ve reached my image limit for this post and I dont have fun reaction images on my laptop. so now I will post this & reblog with the rest of this book.

[knickknacksandallthat]

sorry to bother but do you have a plan of when part 4 will come out

ofc it’s perfectly fine if you’re not ready, from the looks of it this is a really big project

Hi anon!!

Oh my goodness, no it's no bother at all! Honestly, I would much rather be talking about fic writing than doing boring things like making a living (which consumed MY LIFE last week).

Ha! And you said it - this fic series has definitely been all-consuming. But I really love this particular AU, so let me tell you I've been working on it non-stop whenever I have time and have the following figured out so far:

My outline currently has the next fic at 12 chapters, though I have a sneaky suspicion that it'll become longer.

I have 53K written so far (but that's before editing😅).

It will have alternating POVs between Jean and Jeremy.

I wish I could give you a better sense of timing, but honestly it all comes down to my work schedule and what free time I have. At this point, I feel like I'm aiming toward April - but don't quote me.

And because I haven't posted something about Once in a Blue Moon on here for a while, here's a new snippet to chew over while I keep hustling as a thank you for your patience! 🥹

OIAB scene under the cut:

The LA airport is hot and muggy. It makes sweat bead down Jean’s neck and uncomfortably gather beneath his collar. Though he wears the lightest long-sleeve shirt he owns, the material still feels constricted and stifling, sticking to his skin. He has the insane urge to tear the garment off him and walk around bare-chested just to feel some relief.  Of course, he would never do so. In fact, the mere thought of it makes him pull his sleeves down farther, covering the backs of scar-ridden hands.  At least his head is cool.  He runs a hand over his buzzed scalp once more, the fuzzy feel of it still odd to him. Abby had suggested it so they could see his stitches better. And since so much of his hair had been pulled out anyway, it seemed to make sense.  Still, he hates how foreign the feeling is. He’s a stranger in his own skin. Has been, for some time he thinks.  He glances up anxiously at the clock on the wall, his knee bouncing as he waits. His flight landed ten minutes ago, and he thought his captain would be waiting here to greet him.  Apparently, he thought wrong.  Laughter erupts from behind him, and Jean jumps. He immediately spins around, only to find a family standing nearby, laughing at the antics of their two-year-old. He watches them for a moment before slowly turning back, clasping his hands in front of him and clutching them tight. Anxiety slowly begins to creep under his skin. Had he gotten the day wrong? Or the time? Did something happen between Palmetto and here that caused a delay? Should he call someone to ask?  He opens his phone and looks through the few contacts on his list.  Abby Winfield David Wymack Jeremy Knox Kevin Day Renee Walker Jean scowls.  His preference would likely be Abby or Renee, though he thinks the latter would have no information useful for this. Wymack, he would tolerate. He skims over the fourth name on the list because he’s never thinking of that fucker again in his entire life, if he can help it. Then he stares at the fifth name, the contact information for him uploaded without his knowledge into this new phone Abby got him. Jeremy Knox.  Starting Trojans Striker. #11. Played 52 games last season, scored 41 goals, and had 36 assists. Captain of the USC Trojans for three years straight. Fifth-best striker in the NCAA.  (Fourth, now that Riko is gone.)  Weaknesses: favors left side for goals, left knee injury in his sophomore year of high school, and overly attached to wellbeing of teammates. Jean scowls again.  If Knox is anything like the person who recommended him, he’s bound to be both a waste of Jean’s time and breath. After all, he can certainly strike punctual off the list.

Thanks again for the ask, anon!

"Reticent."

A/N: My apologies this took so long! Thank you for the request. 😊

A big thank you to @loki69zowens for the translation, as always.

"Kev, please." Sami pleads, taking his hand into his own and giving it a gentle squeeze. "We're all he's got." He adds, his voice wavering.

Judging by his tone he can tell this is important to Sami and as much as he disapproves of the idea, he reluctantly obliges. "I'll do it for you Sami, but if he so much as harms a hair on your head, I'll make him wish he'd never been born." He warns, balling his free hand into a fist.

"I know." Sami murmurs, unballing Kevin's fist and lacing their fingers together. "You have my permission to kick Jey's ass if things go south." He says with a grin, loving how protective Kevin is over him.

That damn grin. How could he resist? "I really dislike you." Kevin counters, trying hard not to crack a smile and failing miserably.

“Oh, so you don’t hate me anymore?” Sami asks with an amused chuckle, noting the small smile Kevin's struggling to suppress.

Letting his guard down, Kevin's face softens, releasing Sami's hand to cup his cheek. "I could never hate you, Sami." He replies softly, allowing the smile to emerge on his lips. "No matter how hard I try."

Thing that went through my mind during Ahsoka Episode 7

“No, I protect the New Republic by ignoring you” XD I’m so happy we get more Hera this week

I also always enjoy more Coruscant content

Since we’re hanging out with the New Republic, is there a chance for a Leia cameo??? (Ik probably not)

I hate this dickhead Senator so much

C-3PO!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

They’re getting out of a Leia cameo by sending in Threepio. I’m definitely not mad, though. And it’s nice to get a glimpse of what she’s up to around this time

Chopper is straight-up cursing at Senator Dickhead for trash-talking droids and I love it

MORE ANAKIN CONTENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I said this a couple of episodes ago, but he looks so good with his TCW hair and outfit in live-action

"He was a good Master" Hearing Ahsoka call Anakin a good master despite everything is so important to me.

“I think the odds are pretty good” “No- No, in fact they’re terrible! Astronomically terrible!” Huyang is acting like Threepio on crack right now

Well now we know how the Star Whale graveyard got there

Or should I say WHALE now we know? No? No one? Okay…

“Her Master was General Anakin Skywalker?” Thrawn is probably having flashbacks of the times he had to work with Anakin/Vader

I wish we could have seen Ezra’s initial reactions to Sabine catching him up on everything, but I guess this is good enough

“How did you find me? You never said” OH BOY this will be a doozie

AND I KNOW I probably said this last week, but damn does Ezra look good in live-action. I’m so happy they remembered the scars on his cheek!

Oh, right. Sabine doesn’t even know Ahsoka is coming

I’m happy they’re using force telepathy. I always thought it was underutilized, especially in the new canon.

Sabine hearing Ahsoka means she isn’t as weak with the Force as Huyang thought!

I can’t tell if this is normal Master/Apprentice type of slight bickering, or if Shin is eventually going to go on a separate path from Baylon. It would be cool to see her switch sides and help the protagonists in the end.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle’s slingshots are so cute, even if useless

I didn’t expect Baylon vs. Ahsoka round 2 this soon, tbh

JUST TAKE YOUR LIGHTSABER BACK, EZRA I really want to see him use it in live-action

I’m happy he has at least been keeping up with his Force wielding practices

Ahsoka literally rolling in at just the right time!

DAMN I was really hoping Shin would surrender just so she could spend more time with Sabine

YAY More happy reunions

I actually think this is the first time we’ve heard Ahsoka laugh, post-TCW

This show continues to be amazing. It’s definitely one of my top three favorite Star Wars shows, at this point.

Also, as I type this listening to the credits roll, shout-out to Kevin Kiner, the man behind the music for this show. The soundtrack is amazing, and definitely further elevates the show.

Oh yeah, and the last episode is next week... I'm not ready but also can't wait

The Falcom Intro before the game starts has the "Whereabouts of light" harmonica version playing it the background. That totally sets the right mood! The music playing at the starting screen is also very nice. Falcom usually hardly ever disappoints when it comes to their music.

Before Trails I never really cared about plus game ^^' Anyway I do have my own save that I can use this time. Which means you should not expect too much XD There was no such thing as legendary weapons or anything for me in this game. I am too lazy for that.

I found it almost a bit odd that we basically started right were we left off, after the first game made it look like we would start after Estelle has started her journey to find Joshua. But I guess that couldn't pass on the chance to make you imagine Joshua carried Estelle bridal-style down the starts and tucking her into bed before leaving XD

Yes... I think "Oh, Goddess" is quite the fitting reaction here. In case you don't know Taro, that means we are in for a fucking ride... a long and painful one that is.

These days, the Präsident of Calvard had to contact them before doing whatever he is planning to do, to make sure they don't intervene because EVERYONE and their mother knows they would intervene ^^'

Wow... its such a wild concept that barely anyone knew about Ouroboros back then. Think about it, some of the Enforderce and Anguise we have today do not even have the age to join Ouroboros just yet ^^'

Everyone always talks about what a great Hero Cassius, but no one ever talks about how much he sucks as a father. He said he left the army after his wife's death to be with his daughter and protect her but we know that he was hardly ever around. He left her with Joshua knowing fully well who he was and that Ouroboros might come back for him and while he trusted him enough to believe he would never endanger Estelle, he still decided to just... let things run his course and let Joshua go when the time comes, not at all think of Estelles feelings about it. He might have saved Liberl and he might have helped the Erebonian Bracers and pulled all his glory-haunt stunts throughout the Sky games but as a father, he is an absolute and utter failure and I wish more people would recognize this.

*applauds her* I couldn't agree more Schera. Thank you for saying out loud what I was thinking! (Also... prove that Olivert made the best choice in marrying her! When there is one thing our dear Prince... uh... Bard needs than it is a woman who doesn't hold back when it is time to say what is need to be said.)

Oh look! Its everyones favorite green Onion... (I love you so much Nadia ♥)

I was NOT looking forward to this reunion. Kevin and I do not go along well. Crossbell told me I do NOT want him to day... but I did like the fact that he didn't show up for 7 games. It was... a peaceful time without him I tell you...

HOWEVER this is the first Grahlsritter we ever met.

Well... I mean... I am glad he got relatively quickly that his flirty attitude was... uh... not exactly welcome. But... he is not a person to guide lost lambs. We should actually guide him back to his girlfriend instead. (What is wrong with those guys with actual ships being so darn flirty? - Okay to be fair, his ship is not introduced in this game and it is certainly not sailing yet.)

My poor girl... but it was about time she let it out.

I don't like Kevin for his flirty attituede with a freshly heartbroken Estelle and some other things we will talk about later, but you have to hand it to him, that he was a nice guy here. He KNEW Estelle was fooling herself and in absolut utter denial and that she would come home all hopeful and sure Joshua would be there just to find he is not and he decided to go with her so she wouldn't be alone when that happens. I do appreciate that.

But we've just arrived! There is no way in hell they could be here this fast, if they have not taken the Arsaille to get here. Our plane just landed after all.

Oh the Hero of Liberl needed Schera to give him a lecture to understand he wants his son back? What an idiot!

So... with all that out of the way... and a new resolve to give us strength, lets get the party started!

Time for Black Impact! Otherwise known as the time Shinichi almost got himself and Kogoro killed, proving that Shinichi is putting both him and Ran in danger by just being close to them and that his piss poor excuse of protecting Ran by hiding his identity doesn't work.

I don't like how they claim that Ai "escaped" by using the drug as if she expected to be shrunk by it. Ai was trying to kill herself, and she's done so many times because she's so afraid of the BO that she believes this is the only way to actually escape from them. Just a pet peeve of mine.

And it starts off with the BO sniping so Akai's sniping skill can be highlighted at the end of this episode!

The BO really hate this Kevin Brown person.

If that's the women going to be killed... well she should treat those who work for her better.

"EverytimeI see someone use a cellphone, I see Vermouth," That is what I call a trigger, Shinichi, because it was a traumatic experience you went through.

And the chewing gum with a transmitter that starts it all is placed!

Kogoro can you not handle children who you don't know so roughly. And the children you do know, actually.

...and there's the foreshadowing for Eisuke T-T I don't really care for his character, considering he's really only around to give Shinichi a "romantic rival" with the plot reveal that he's related to Hidemi as well.

I don't know how Shinichi has gone so long without being found out as telling them they're going tropical land in the rain was just dumb.

Also I'm glad Ai came along because this is her fight just as much as it is Shinichi's and she's there to be the voice of reason when he's too thick-headed to realize he's being stupid.

At least he realizes that they're in a really bad situation and that he needs to get the transmitter as soon as possible.

Shinichi would it kill you to work with Ai for a change.

Jodie! She's one of my favourite members of the FBI! I also just really like her and I wish she was respected more by Gosho but that's would be asking a lot for his women characters.

Shinichi does a good impression of Ai XD I guess disguising as her a few times helped.

Shinichi: What's a little property damage?

And the sky helps him save his lie.

I refuse to accept that Jodie doesn't know Shinichi is an adult (or well a teenager).

Okay, we don't need this much of a recap of Jame's introduction, I do remember it well.

Oh the terrible woman will be the person they plan to take the fall for their assassination.

Akai is already 5 steps ahead and is preparing to save Shinichi and Kogoro's lives.

It's not spoken enough that Agasa is a game programmer, he could make so much money but instead he just designs them for the kids instead.

We need to speak more about how Ai sees her sister in Ran.

Whoever this kid's parents are, they need a stern speaking too about letting their child play near a main road.

And time for Akai to shine!

See! Gin doesn't fuck around. Shinichi not informing both Kogoro and Ran of his situation almost got them killed.

AKAI! Saving our dumb detective's butt.

That was one hell of a shot, though. To shoot through the sight. And to leave Gin lovely little scars as memory as well.

And Vermouth helps bury the truth even more. Really, Shinichi needs to learn from this.

Jodie: Don't worry, Shinichi will handle her disappearance.

Shinichi: *Commits identity fraud once again*

10 characters, 10 fandoms, 10 people

thank you @magpiefngrl for the tag! i LOVED looking through your list. it's kind of silly to be doing this like two months after you tagged me but oh well... that's how i roll i guess i did this like a year ago maybe but i am purposefully trying not to hunt down that post to compare bc i think this is a fun exercise in reflection. favourite characters are great because sometimes they're the worst little guy on the planet, sometimes they're just a guy you relate to, sometimes they're a character you wish you could put under a microscope and analyse deeply, and sometimes they're a guy you want to [redacted redacted redacted redacted]. the human brain is a magical place, eh? let's do this! (guy is v much gender neutral here, you know what i mean)

aiden kane from the Fence Comics [ah. aiden and the curse of loving your best friend but being unable to tell them and sleeping with half the world just to fill that hole in your heart]
