#oh why couldnt it still have 100< followers

[thrilling-oneway]

Mmm I might have to cut back on how much work I put into the fact blog. I get so many asks a day that I’m literally putting more hours work into it than school stuff and free time and I think that’s a problem actually

[squeiky]

Go tired of seeing "old hedgehog" designs of sonic and shadow with them just having greyed out quills and decided to do something about it

So yeah qpr sonadow (yeah shadow is 50+ fucking finally. Im considering giving him a cane. An asthetic or an actual one idk. Maybe both?)

Sonic grew his quills out (wanted a kind of longhair rockstar kinda hair thing idk if i achiebed i though. Also still unsure on what he'd wear so i just slapped on his sa2 beach costume and added sandals (and possibly socks).

(Oh and there a scar from the Mephiles blast on his stomach- as well as top surgery scars because of course he had top surgery its sonic)

(Oh and also the "old lady swagger" sonic is just him crossdessing/going lady mode because he always rocks the look )

Shadow styled/shortend his quills and i put him in a nice black collared sweater. He wears glasses because my guy has eye problems

(Btw. Im horrible at telling ppls ages so if they dont feel old then idk what to tell you guys i have no idea what aging is at this point)

Then, instead of simply making old yaoi i ended up getting obbessed (and happy) and started making everyone old

So next up was amy and Blaze. (Silver is here too)

I think theyre a little bit on the younger side of the old yaoi? I did consider the fact that some people age differently (some look older whilst others look younger) so Amy and Silver got the more "youthful-ish" complexion whilst Blaze and Espio got the more older one.

Thoughhh im still working on their design. I can always make older old lady Amy (now that i think about it i should 100% make Amy a granny looking buff woman because i feel like thats beautiful)

Either way amy and Blaze kept their uh.. "hair" short. Amy still wears supergirly clothes and Blaze wears more masculine type clothes nothing else.

Next is espilver

You cant sue me for making Silver a short king menace to society.

Not really much on design so far other than Silver is way more plump (pearshaped) now because life got better, and Espio is taller because what is he if not a tree?

Ask them how they met? It was at bowling. Why bowling? Its because thats less weird then "was investigating the multiple crimes husbando commited and ended up getting said yet-to-be husbando arrested, but after he got out we totally fucked"

Yeah

Oh, and because i couldnt choose, Espio is trans AND intersex! Yeah!

Also Amy is silvers ex (Silver has like.. 2 exes... Possibly more?)

And then theres everyone else who arent a "ship" persay:

So i call this the moreso young adult group with Tails, Charmy, Ray and Cream.

Tails (in college) and Charmy (not in college) obviously hang out and play videogames.

Cream, because when she was little she didnt get invited to fight deadlt monsters, grew up, and decided shes going to fight deadlt monsters. So i tried to make her a cool suit but idk.. it needs reworking cause the whole "secret agent" vibe works! But not the way i like.

Rouge is forever foxynand will continue to be the most attractive woman on planet earth no matter what age. Shes also still a meance to socitey and we will forever love the jewel thief (old) woman.

Knuckles doesnt cut his quills so those shits are LONG hes also old as well but idk what he'd wear

And yes Metal (also Chaos) is here too. Metal is a bit rusty (literally) but overall well kept and fancy. I think eggman would be dead by now, so i gave it a crown on its ears to symbolize how it took over i guess.

OKAY SHIPKIDS:

Blaze x Amy ( bio kid): Flare (was thinking "Spark" because of the love idea but idk yet)

Espio x Silver (bio-kid): Greybell

And then heres the fun part:

So Sonic and Shadow dont function like the others here, in that- while saving the world and whatnot, every so often they'd either find a kid following them (similarly to Amy and Tails back in the days) or save a kid during their whole adventure.

The first time this happened was just Luca (a black jaguar) who followed Sonic during one his little solo adventures and Sonic was like "do you have parents i can take u back too" and she was like "nah" so of course, after seriously looking for her parents through ppl with database accesses like tails and rouge, he was like "u wanna stay with me?" And Luca was like "YEAH!"

And then Sonic called Shadow like "Shadow do u want kids" and which he replied "what?" And then suddenly they adopted Luca. This is how it began.

Eventually, as one grew up, theyd find another, and then another and then well now they have like 11 kids in total.

Now, after ALL of this, they took a break and after that years worth of a break were like "wanna make a kid? Like for the challenge of having to that from scratch"

And sonic was like "what?"

So they hit up the labs and made a bio kid who is 2 months old and is the most hectic fucking thing theyve ever had to deal with so thanks for the prior 10 experinces (alas they do not compare to the mega menace)

For the fandom ask game; 2, 10, 16

Positive Fandom Ask Game

a headcanon you weren't sure about at first but have come to like!

that janus is loveless. i will say my hesitance didn't last very long and wasn't really hesitance, it was more "oh loveless janus is a hc? i can see how people can dislike it, but i love it." (so this option doesn't really count but i quite literally cant think of anything else)

there is a headcanon that janus is loveless/cannot feel love/doesn't love because he is a snake and snakes don't feel love. and as a loveless aromantic I absolutely love this headcanon.

i know people don't like this headcanon because people tend to view love as an inherently positive force and if you don't love or refuse to love that it's negative and offensive. & because people will try to use the lack of love to demonise janus, an already very demonise side. which... the demonising janus one is a valid reason to dislike it, the other reasons aren't.

i only ever consider patton to be loveless and i never see loveless hcs in fandom so knowing there's already a hc for janus being loveless makes me so so so so happy. i think there's something so sweet about janus not feeling love or choosing not to love or being critical about how society views love, but still being compassionate & caring towards the other sides & c!thomas*. that whether or not he loves them that doesn't control how he treats them. that his care isn't controlled by one singular feeling, but a multitude of feelings or opinions; he cares for the sides & thomas, because he knows they need it. & that idea means the world to me.

*obviously, loveless people can care & be compassionate. im loveless & im so compassionate to the people around me. but i mean more that, choosing janus 2 be loveless when he is literally self preservation & cares so much about the other sides & their health is soooo smart & beautiful. i know it probably originated to demonise him (or write aus where he "thinks he loveless but finds out he CAN feel love" eugh), but i like that you can switch it on its head & go "he doesn't feel love but that doesn't mattwe & wont ever matter. he feels so much compassion for the others" & choose not to demonise him.

i probably explained that all strange & worded it so bad i just woke up. BUT LIKE. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO DEMONISE HIM FOR BEING LOVELESS, BUT YOU CAN ALSO RECOGNISE THAT IF HE IS LOVELESS THAT LOVE DOESNT PUSH HIS CARING ACTIONS. HE JUST CARES.

also janus 100% would be loveless in the sense that he's criticising how society views love as the most "important thing" or as an inherently positive thing , as if people don't do horrible things bcuz of their love.

a blog (mutual or one you follow) that has made your fandom experience brighter

UM. HOW DO I LIST A GAJILLION BLOGS.

i was gonna go thru & explain why they r on my list but thats 2 much effort so im just gonna rapid fire:

@sankiisides , @warnadudenexttime , @intrulogical , @edupunkn00b , @lovecorepatton & everyone i know on instagram. i was gonna list blogs that im not mutuals with but i am so tired & couldnt remember anyones blogs . ill just come back (<- is lying & wont come back)

the one blog i am not mutuals w/ that i can list rn is @we-all-horny-here :3

a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate

PERHAPS A REALLY SMALL DETAIL, but the way remus pauses & actually thinks about what is being said to him when logan is talking to him at the end of working through intrusive thoughts

maybe im crazy & insane & making things up bcuz i want them to be friends so bad BUT thruout the entire ending scene w/ logan & remus, remus is shown turning his back and reading a book and taking a cockroach out of his ear and eating it. very actively ignoring him.

BUT . IN THIS SCENE:

logan tells remus how he can see how remus can be helpful (albeit. thru gritted teeth.) & then asks him, "but perhaps, you can also see the merit in what I'm trying to do?"

& remus pauses.

he hesitates.

you can see him sit there and actually think about what logan is saying. & ofc he immediately goes back to ignoring him but it makes me crazed that logan tells remus that he can see why remus is doing what he is doing & that it can be helpful & then asks remus, straight forwardly, to try & see what logan is trying to do & remus stops in his little schemes and thinks about that. he has a little moment of hesitation.

though it could also be remus going "hmmm should i eat the tongue lollipop first or should i do the cockroach?" /j

im ill . im ill. im ill. im ill.

Oh hey, I absolutely did NOT expect to noticed so quickly but hiii!! Wanna say that popping back into the UTMV fandom has been a bit rough, there's a lot of uhhh questionable users around.. So it made me really happy to see someone else who was also planning to do their own rewrite of Underlust!! I still need to read through your backlog of stuff, but I can firmly say that Sans' buckles are PEAK design. Only critique is maybe more buckles??? (jest)

Thank you for your work though, super duper cool to see you around. ^ ^

Oh, i noticed you INSTANTLY!!! (Also, its really nice seeing someone agree they dont enjoy Lust being seen as woman/girly because of who he is. Its the one rule i really have with Sans right now LMAO) But I have lots(like 5 but still xD) of Underlust accounts following me, they are so fun to see!! Ive talked directly to only one other, but you both have very unique and enjoyable content/art! I love the spikes you added to your S ans too btw??? Its so cute! And yea, dude.. I totally understand. Ive seen so many unique new users, some have.. Haha, really silly stuff going on! xD I try to ignore the weird apples and keep a open mind but sometimes i really just. Question......... Though, i will admit seeing "my era" of Undertale fans blossom (Like my Sister!) has been SO lovely!!! Specially seeing so many new artists who were in the fandom around my time grow and become the new 'big UTMV artist torch holders' have been so nice! I love the fact Undertale's Multi-Verse has had so many fresh, new, enjoyable creators to replace all of the weirdos who made the UTMV almost a gross cess-pool of fontcest and other nasty shit :// And thank you!!! God, i might make that a alt outfit... I think the buckles were the only thing next to the belt/longer coat and height change were the only things?? Since Sans' original design is still so ICONIC!!! I couldnt help myself with the buckles xDD But, thank YOU for supporting me!!!! Creators like you who enjoy/support me make me smile!!!! :} Its also why i still feel so, so confident in my attempt with Lusttale! Although im 100% aware Lusttale wont ever be *the* Underlust, its still a AU i love and seeing people welcome it as the new Underlust has also grown my confidence (Still, so sorry if i sound arrogant. I really dont mean to have the "chosen one" attitude and despite the owner making content i really dont agree with i dont want to disrespect, i just right now really feel more comfortable and 'in my zone' to continue Lusttale as a replacement for Underlust)

top movies of the year !! tagged by @sommerregenjuniluft who asked specifically for 10 and i will take any opportunity to talk abt films i watched <3

no pressure tagging: @sugarsnappeases @beaniebaby @casstration @bardofavon

Commentary on the films & honourable mentions below:

A Little Life (2023, dir. Ivo van Hove) this was a live show however i watched it as a movie and i hadnt even read the book bc everyone i saw who read the book was so deeply emotionally distraught that i avoided it BUT someone wanted to see it and i agreed to go with them bc it looked good and i like bonding activities. yeah its SAD AS FUCK. its complicated and devastating and very triggering at times and i recognised two of the cast and focused far too long on why do i know this guy but it definitely hit me hard as part of this years viewing experiences

The Book Thief (2013, dir. Brian Percival) this truly has been the year of sophie nélisse for me she has captivated me so ofc i revisited this and bought the book, both still as devastating as i remember

Talk To Me (2023, dir. Michael & Danny Philippou) HORROR OF THE YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! oh this did blow me away this was so fun to watch and while some of the symbolism was slightly on the nose it was never overbearing to draw away from the plot it really was engaging and had some amazing cast

The Sound Of Music (1965, dir. Robert Wise) i hadnt seen this despite being on my list for YEARS !!!! but when i did oh i was not ready its fun its sweet its whimsical its political its interesting its sad its a musical

Saw X (2023, dir. Kevin Greutert) HEHEHE SAW !!!!!!!!! MANDY CAME BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY !!!!!!

The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007, dir. John Erick Dowdle) this was so interesting !!! many people consider this a very intense horror and i was expecting the worst but i think primarily the fear factor of this is that it is formatted as a documentary discussing the events and tapes although they are real and some of the content is unnerving but ultimately as someone who deeply enjoys horror i did find the format and the approach to this new style of serial killer horror so engaging and creepy, however i wouldnt recommend it for people who arent already into horror

Beautiful Boy (2018, dir. Felix van Groeningen) i actually started this in 2022 but couldnt sit through timothee chalamet reciting poetry so i turned it off and tried again this year but it was very moving and i have like 100 beautiful boy edits in my tiktok folder

All Quiet On The Western Front (2022, dir. Edward Berger) if you are going to watch a war movie: WATCH ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT it is very engaging from the perspective of german soldiers during the end of world war i.

The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008, dir. Mark Waters) Bring Back Fun !!! Bring Back Whimsey !!!!

Take Care Of Maya (2023, dir. Henry Roosevelt) oh this was Intense, this is a documentary about a real life legal case following the Kowalski family who have recently finished their trial against the hospital that put their family and their chronically ill daughter through severe trauma and suffering, it was deeply interesting and very painful but also so necessary for the many people who experience similar cases and circumstances. (Post Film Update/Not shown in the documentary: The Kowalski family has since won their trial and been granted over $250million for their trauma and damages. Maya is now seeking further legal action for other circumstances she endured during this time.)

Honourable Mentions:

[REC] (2007, dir. Jaume Balagueró & Paco Plaza) this was just a GOOD horror it had a slower introduction but once it got into the plot it was so interesting and intense and just a Fun movie which is interesting because its the second to technically include found footage (i have seen people call the poughkeepsie tapes found footage in some ways also) and i dont particularly enjoy found footage but this year it seems to have appealed to me more than i realised!

Uptown Girls (2003, Boaz Yakin) THE BOND BETWEEN A GIRL AND THE MESSY 20 SOMETHING SHE DOESNT WANT TO RELATE TO BUT DOES . "HER AU PAIR CALLED MY NANNY A SLUT BAG WHORE !"

Pamela, A Love Story (2023, dir. Ryan White) which is Pamela Anderson's documentary about her life so far and was very interesting even as someone who didn't know much of anything about her beforehand

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986, dir. John Hughes) which is, as always, a classic and lighthearted experience <3

Totally Killer (2023, dir. Nahnatchka Khan) because it is so good to see a cheesy modern slasher just be Fun again, it doesn't take itself too seriously and that's why it was so enjoyable to watch!

[scatterpatter]

What’s dirt poor robins? Feel free to infodump

OKAY SO

Short answer: a band I found a few years ago that just- you ever have a band that somehow scratches that itch of your ideal music taste? Yeah. Yeah they're that for me. Got super into them, took a long break due to unrelated traumas, but then once I got back into them I had that "OH YEAH THIS SLAPS" reaction

I genuinely dont know how to describe their genre. Some albums are more indie/alt rock, some are more dark cabaret/steampunk, some are more space opera-esque, etc. I recommend just putting them on shuffle and go through a few albums if you wanna give them a try, just because if you dont like one album doesnt mean you wont like ALL their albums

Doesnt help that they dropped their latest album this year so man. Man. The brainworms. They're so real.

Good band to think of animatics to- ESPECIALLY with me and my fiance's Decopunk AU we've been working on

ME INFODUMPING ABOUT EACH ALBUM UNDER THE CUT

The Cage

This album introduced me to them! I found Great Vacation on one of those villain-inspired youtube playlists. This is probably their most "rock" album, before they started finding more of their niche in the more dark cabaret side of their later albums. A good intro album! Personal favorite songs: The Hollywood Song, Masquerade

The Last Days of Leviathan

Okay this is the album that REALLY starts getting into DPR's vibes- if you vibe with this one you'll probably vibe with most of their other albums. Very eldritch vibes Personal favorite songs: Leviathan, Sonnet to Science

The Raven Locks

This one's so cool because it tells a narrative story throughout that's super interesting to follow! This one has so many bangers omg. Definitely has range so goes from more stereotypical dark cabaret to more dark fantasy-esque- DEFINITELY keeping that eldritch vibe but with more of a steampunk kind of twist on it. Oh yeah also has my personal favorite rendition of Great Vacation! I greatly prefer Act 3 to Act 2 but still. Good stuff. Personal favorite songs: We Forgot We Were Human, Great Vacation, Wasteland, Take Him Away

Deadhorse

Oh mannnn. I don't know why but like. Space opera vibes. Some real good, like, high cinematic songs to really imagine your intense mental AMVs to. I genuinely don't know how to put these vibes into words but they really scratch a specific itch for me. Very "average person stumbles upon an Old World and all the mysteries around it, they go on a magical odyssey that completely changes them by the end" vibes and DONT ask how i got that bc I couldnt explain but trust me Personal favorite songs: Wax Cylinder Sonata, Skywriter, But Never A Key

Anthems to the Edge of the Earth

I dont have as much to say on this one bc its mostly remixes of some of their best tracks. That being said: REMIXES OF SOME OF THEIR BEST TRACKS, as well as introducing some new bangers! Highly recommend checking this one out, highest likelihood of finding at least one song you'll like here, unlike the other albums where you kinda have to have a niche taste to really like them Personal favorite songs: It Tore Your Heart Out, Anthem to the Edge of the Earth

Queen of the Night

Admittedly this one is my least favorite album, the definitely dips the furthest into Dark Cabaret and Vaudeville- so if you're more into that side of their music then this ones for you! That said, there's a few bangers that I always have on repeat so like. They dont have a single bad album imo. Personal favorite songs: Babylon, Enchante

Firebird

Their latest!!! This one's so good, kind of swings back into their more rock-related music, with a neat twist. Some songs carry a really cool vaporwave vibe that makes me almost nostalgic for music that feels older than it actually is. Like I feel I'd find this on a cassette tape despite the music not being anything like you'd find in the late 70s-80s. That being said their more dark fantasy and steampunk vibes are 100% on display here as well which Im ALWAYS here for Personal favorite songs: Political, Fever Dream, All at Once, To the Heights

In summary I just REALLY like this band!!! I say I'm mentally ill for them bc not only how much I listen to them but also, like, Im very aware that this is not "normal people" music taste. It's like- I want more people to get into them, but most of their tracks are very far from what youd see on mainstream radio, and if you dont like them then like... yeah you just wont like them. Kind of an acquired taste, not in an elitist way but in a "yeah this is a specific niche and if you like it then fuck yeah but if not then theres not much we could do"

If you're into more dark-steampunk, dark-cabaret vibes with plenty of orchestral rock and synth, I 100% recommend giving them a try.

But yeah the vibes of like half of these albums have inspired plot points of my dnd oc Corren, Ive thought of countless mental animatics to certain songs, and Firebird was a huge inspiration for Decopunk AU

I wish I was better at putting their vibes to words, theyre soooo... specific. They make me feel a very specific series of emotions that I cant quite put to words but I HOPE THIS HELPS EXPLAIN THEIR VIBES A BIT

Hey ravage, how small is Ratbat?

Also, Rumble, Frenzy, which one of you is read and which one of you is blue?

Can we ask Ambulon questions? Does Wildbreak speak yet?

Frenzy: Ravage gave us the camera.

Rumble: Ha, big mistake.

Frenzy: The first question is easy. He's a foot tall.

Rumble: isnt that a body part on a human?

Frenzy: Stupid, its also a human measurement!

Rumble: How much is it?

Frenzy: I literally just said. You know how tall Batty is when he stands up straight? Or as straight as he can because he's still an itty bitty bitlet?

Rumble: Oh. You're mean.

Frenzy: That's literally what my outlier ability is.

Rumble: I thought it was sonic warfare.

Frenzy: I can hurt people with my sounds.

Rumble: And i can do it with my pile drivers, doesn't mean you have to be rude.

Frenzy: Hey.

Rumble: What?

*sound of metal hitting metal*

Rumble: Ow! I'm telling carrier?

Frenzy: Yeah, sure you will. ANYWAYS!! I'm red, usually, and Rumble is blue, usually.

Rumble: *grumble*

Frenzy: Oh get over it. We like to switch colors sometimes, to confuse the others.

Rumble: One time, we got our other siblings in on it, and we all painted ourselves exactly like carrier.

Frenzy: AHAHAHAH!! YEAH IT WAS HILARIOUS! This was waaay before Ratbat was sparked. We wouldn't've been able to paint him either way though, he's still all protoform.

Rumble: Carrier would have killed us if we'd done it.

Frenzy: Hey, why are they asking about Ambulon? he's a little freak loser.

Rumble: He's one of Doc Knock's assistants. His paint is always flaky, its hilarious. His paint changes all the fucking time! Nothing sticks. And he's always so serious! What is with him?

Frenzy: This little project is just between us and Galvatron. Us meaning our other siblings.

Rumble: Minus the 2 birdbrains.

Frenzy: Minus them. they'd tell on us the moment we left them alone.

Rumble: Also, no! You can't ask Wildbreak any questions because hes a bitlet!! Smaller than Ratbat!! Pretty sure he's not even 100 years old yet! Bitlets can barely start making words at 2,000. Ratbat is 3, so he can talk pretty well.

Frenzy: He doesn't understand bigger words though.

Rumble: FRENZ That reminds me, the other day, Ratty tried to say "juxtaposition" and he couldnt!

Frenzy: I missed that?? What did he say instead?!

Rumble: Jakpositive, Jazpos, Jutpossy.

Frenzy: God damn. I need to start following him around, just to hear these attempts at big words.

Rumble: Have you asked him about pronouns lately?

Frenzy: No, did he say something?

Rumble: He wants to change them again, but he said he didn't know which ones to use. He asked me and Ravage about them.

Frenzy: We both use she/her, but you use he/him too. He could use several pronouns. Neo-cybex has a lot, but most of them are tied to vehicle form, so no one really uses them much anymore.

Rumble: I like using she/her. It's fun, but he/him is also fun.

Frenzy: Did you tell him that he can always change them if he doesnt like them?

Rumble: He was a bit anxious about it, Ravage reassured him though.

*quiet beeping*

Rumble: Oops. Looks like the camera is low on battery.

Frenzy: She took Batty to carrier. They might all be in our room, lets go.

*end of transmission*

when we're not acting — w. junhui

pairing: non-idol! junhui x theatre kid! reader

word count: 4,107

genre: enemies to lovers, theatre co-stars

warnings: dubcon kiss. swearing. also not proofread :D

author's notes: THANK YOU FOR 100 FOLLOWERS !! I made this a while back but couldnt find time to finish itt. the reader is gender neutral (i try to keep it that way), but the play they are acting in is romeo and juliet. also, i cant reply to you guys since this isnt my main acc, so if you have anything u want to say to me, you can send me a message ^__^ (high key just wants some messages ;__;)

Satan came in two forms in your world—the red-skinned demon, with horns and a tail, and Wen Junhui.

Admittedly, you didn't always hate him. He was one of those seniors in college, that when he walked in to any room, all eyes would turn to him. He deserved it though. He towered over everyone else, facial features that were sharp, yet elegant, accentuated cheekbones, a pointed nose with well-carved lips, and sharp eyes, and a soft gaze. You, yourself, found him incredibly handsome, and believed him to be some God-sent angel that was placed on this Earth to provide good and spread kindness.

Until you met him.

During the first year of college, you lived at home, with your brother, Minghao, who also attended the same campus. Your parents thought it'd be easier, and if you were still adamant, you can rent a place closer to campus and away from home.

It was after one of your packed days, where you had a class from morning until the late afternoon, along with a first meeting for the drama club you were planning to join since you took an interest in theatre. Safe to say, you were far from exhausted, and all you wanted to do was get home and enjoy a stick of Melona, your favorite ice cream that you keep stocked in your fridge.

You knew there was the last one waiting for you when you got home, and upon remembering that you still had one stick of the green, sweet dessert, you rushed excitedly to the kitchen, pulling your freezer open and reached for the box that was still there.

However, you touched nothing. There was no cold wrapping within the cardboard box, and when you pulled it out to look closer, it was completely empty.

"Oh, you must be Hao's sister." You jumped, turning around to find Junhui entering the kitchen, and lo and behold, a Melona bar in his hands, which he took a bite out off (first red flag; why would you bite ice cream?), and idly stood there staring at you.

"Where'd you get that?" You didn't care for formalities. You were tired and the last bar of your favorite dessert was being eaten by a complete stranger.

He glanced at the green bar. "Oh, Hao told me I could take it."

"Why would he say that?"

He looked at you confused, brows furrowed. "Because I asked?"

"Why would you ask for it?"

Why were you asking so much question? Jun couldn't help but ask himself, but entertained you. "Because I wanted it."

"Why would you want it without knowing who it belongs to?"

It clicked within his head, that you were upset, and that the melon bar was the reason as to why you looked like you had just been robbed, standing in front of the (still opened) freezer, disheveled.

"It belongs to you?" He asks, pointing the bar towards you, and you nod frantically, the anger bubbling within you. "Oh." He simply states, and sticks into his mouth, uttering, "My bad."

Since that day, you vowed to hate him, and hope you never have to meet him.

Which was difficult. He is your brother's friend, your senior in your major, and he is, unfortunately, the ex-president of the drama club.

Since he is a final year student, he can't join any of the extracurricular activities, but he promised to join one of the last productions before he completely focuses on finishing his degree. You were beyond grateful, knowing that he wasn't going to be too active with the club, and you don't have to run into him.

However, he is still Minghao's friend, and for some reason, wherever there was Minghao, Jun was not far.

"Is it okay if I go home with you today?" You asked Minghao. There was makeup that you needed to bring back to your shared apartment with your best friend, Yunjin. You had approached your older brother outside the campus cafe, knowing he'd be there with his friends from his class. "I'll probably stay a night, but if not, I'll just head back alone with—"

You stopped mid-sentence when you saw someone approaching from behind Minghao. Of course he'd be here. You rolled your eyes as you made eye contact with Jun, before stating, "Never mind, I'll get it some other time."

Jun watched as you walked away, a scowl evident on your face as the corner of his lips pulled upwards. "What happened?" Minghao only shrugged, mumbling that you were being weird as usual before returning to his friends in the cafe.

"Why does Y/N hate you, dude?" Minghao asked Jun, the latter looking back at the younger one in confusion. Minghao rolled his eyes at Jun feigning being oblivious to your obvious distaste towards the older guy. "Every single time you're near, Y/N makes a one-eighty."

Jun only raised his shoulder in a shrug, "Probably because I ate the last Melona bar."

"I can't believe Y/N is holding that against you," Minghao sighed, placing a hand over his forehead. "Even after you bought two boxes."

Granted, you didn't know that Jun had restocked the Melona bars in your fridge, and assumed your parents did.

Jun didn't have a problem with you not realizing what he did, he was slightly grateful that you never found out because it was oddly entertaining to him to see you bend over backwards just to avoid being in the same vicinity as him. It wasn't easy for you, he knew that; you were both in the same major and the same club, with only a two year difference. Despite the age difference, you both ran into each other a lot.

However, he never intended on annoying you too much. Sure, he found joy when irritation etched your face during the brief second of eye contact when you both pass each other on campus, how your lips would be pressed in a tight line, eyes set in glares as he emerges from the shadows besides your brother. You were entertaining to him, he always found you to be quite the character. But, he understood your boundaries, and wouldn't want to cross the line.

Thus, when you appeared during one of the meetings of the drama club, the same time he was asked to attend (it was a sharing session, and as the ex-president, it was obligatory for Jun), he had to hold back the wide grin when he spotted you in the audience.

Interested to know what side you'd reveal to him during your journey in this club, he tried to join every now and then, when there were practice skits, or auditions, just to observe you.

"Who's that?" He asked one of his juniors, nodding his chin towards you who was doing a scene from Grease as a practice activity. He knew who you were already, he just needed to act like he didn't.

"That's Y/N, freshman," Seokmin informed Jun, "Y/N is really good, I think they used to be in the drama club for their high school or middle school, they have experience." Jun only nodded.

"We're thinking of having them auditon for the leading role for the Spring production," he added, and then turned his body to face Jun completely, "and since this is going to be the last production you're allowed to join, we wanted to know if you want to join as the male lead."

Jun was stunned, glancing between Seokmin and you, glad that you were focused on the skit. Seokmin continued, "Please? For the last hurrah?" It wasn't that he didn't want to take the offer, of course he loved performing in front of a crowd, and being a final year student, he'll soon have to let that go. Jun, once again, glanced in your direction, finding you throwing your head back in laughter, your skit already completed and your friend said something funny.

Jun was worried about you. If you were to co-star with him for the production, would you be able to put your dislike of the man aside?

The Spring production was a highly anticipated event, and he's sure you were going to be chosen to take the leading role. He could see your dedication in the arts, but then again, the root of your hatred towards the older one was because he ate your last Melona bar, that one thing resulting to almost two years of you glaring and avoiding him. Sure, you were dedicated and passionate, but you were still childish.

"First thing's first: if we're not going to talk about the production, then we shouldn't talk at all." He was right, you were childish. And petty, very petty. Jun leaned back against his arms that held him up, tilting his head to the side as he watched you fuss about the rules and limitations of how you both should and should not interact while preparing for the Spring production.

You were both to star as the leading couple for your club's production of Romeo and Juliet, a classic, and you were excited as you've done this before during middle school, but it was kept PG because of your age back then. Now, well, what was (then) a kiss on the cheek, would become a kiss on your lips. If it were anyone, literally anyone else on this campus, you wouldn't have a problem, but when Seokmin introduced Junhui to you, as your love interest, you felt your blood drain to the points of your toes.

You were sure you would faint. You were dramatic, just not that dramatic.

"We're only to meet when we have to discuss the production, no random meet-ups outside of that—"

"You're getting a little over your head, Y/N," he finally spoke after realizing you've just rambled on for the past three minutes. "Don't get too ahead of yourself, I have no intentions of meeting you outside of the production, either." You couldn't control the scowl that immediately took over your features. The immediate look of disapproval causing Jun to chuckle, shaking his head before he pushed himself up.

"See you at tomorrow's readthrough." Your eyes followed his broad shoulders as he left the room, still standing by the walls before you leaned your head back, a heavy sigh leaving your lips.

"Hey, Y/N." You looked up, hoping it was Yunjin so you both could walk back to your apartment. Unfortunately, who stood by the frame was not your roommate, and it was your month-long fling from your freshman year. What was his name?

Ah, Jaehoon.

"What are you doing here?" You asked, crossing your arms over your chest as you stood your ground. The guy wasn't a danger to you, just a nuisance, like a parasite. Despite already conveying your disinterest to continue whatever was going on between you both, he was adamant on still being in contact with you, in bothering you.

"Congratulations on your role," he stated, without answering your question. Your brows furrowed, confused as to how he knew. He wasn't in the drama club, nor was there an announcement that the public knows of. "I heard about it, because I've signed up for Stage crew."

Shit.

You didn't say anything, you couldn't. Usually, when guys you've dated try to reach out, wanting another chance, you don't pay them any mind because well, it's easy for you to avoid them.

However, Jaehoon was persistent. Despite already blocking his contacts and social media, he'd find a way to get to you. It was borderline creepy, and even though that chances of him hurting you was low (he wasn't necessarily violent), it was never zero.

Before he could continue, your savior and roommate finally entered the room, sharing a warning glare towards Jaehoon before glancing back at you.

"Am I interrupting something?" Her tone wasn't cautious, but threatening, as if telling Jaehoon to either leave by his own will or be dragged out.

Jaehoon, not getting the message, only shook his head. "I was just congratulating Y/N on her role."

"So, you're done?" Yunjin asked, raising a brow towards him. Jaehoon nodded. "Then leave." Finally getting the message, he let out an awkward chuckle, before leaving out the door. Once he was gone, you reached out and collapsed in Yunjin's arms, you didn't notice how hard your heart was beating during the entire exchange.

"Gosh, I should've come here sooner," she cursed, pulling away and examining your face, your arms, "did he do anything to you?" You only shook your head, resting your forehead back on her shoulder as she rubbed circles on your back.

You thought having to deal with Jun was enough, but now, you have to deal with your creepy, clingy, one-month-relationship ex now.

Every time you had practice, it was the same routine; you run into Jaehoon, turning around and walking the other direction very obviously, hoping he'd get the message (he does not), before an exasperated sigh leaves your lips as you spot your co-star reading through the script. Each time there was a rehearsal, it's as if you could hear your lungs telling each other to prepare for a hard day's at work because of how much they'll be used to repeatedly sigh throughout the days.

There were even some moments where you wanted to sigh, but felt you were getting light headed. You were probably exhaling sighs more than you were breathing in air.

"You know Jaehoon?" You looked up from your phone, finding Jun not looking your way but towards where most of the props were placed. You glanced to find Jaehoon staring at you, but his eyes quickly averted the second you both made eye contact, your eyes rolling to the back of your head in irritation.

"Why does it matter to you?" you grumbled, grabbing your script. Flipping through the pages, you pointed towards the scene where Juliet was supposed to kiss Romeo. "We don't have to kiss, right?"

"You didn't answer my question, Y/N."

"And I asked why does it matter to you," you retaliated with a roll of your eyes. Other than your constant sighing, your eyes were feeling tired from rolling just as much.

"It's not a hard question to answer, either yes or no."

"That will lead to follow up questiions," you added for him, causing him to finally look at you, brows slightly raised, amused.

"That's for me to decide," he responded, and for first time that day, you sighed and rolled your eyes.

"Yeah, I do."

"How?" You glared at him for having a follow up question, and his shoulder rose in a shrug. "I didn't say I won't have any follow up questions."

"Again, why does it matter to you?" You were getting tired from this conversation. Having to see both Jaehoon and Jun at the same time for prolonged hours, combined with your exhaustion from classes and rehearsals, you were just downright beat.

"He's been staring at you since prep for the production has started," Jun stated the obvious, to which you didn't respond immediately. He continued, "And whenever you weren't here yet, or left already, he'd look for you, so I assumed you both know each other."

"Unfortunately," you grumbled.

"So, how do you know him?"

You couldn't help but laugh dryly at his question. "Did you forget?"

"What?"

"We aren't supposed to talk about things outside of the production," you reminded him, and it was his turn to roll his eyes.

"You set up those, by the way," he rebutted, nodding towards you with his chin, before shaking his head gently, "I didn't agree to your terms, Y/N."

"You're so frustrating." With a grunt, you pushed yourself off the floor, wanting to find some fresh air before the break ends. You found yourself outside of the auditorium, leaning your back against the wall beside the door. There was less than two days until the first night of the two-night show, and the stress was finally getting to you.

"Thought I'd find you out here." You leaned your head back, glaring up at the sky and cursing whatever entity had led the dimwit to where you were. You didn't bother to look towards Jaehoon, focused on your phone, as you silently hoped that something will possess him to turn back inside. "Y/N, you can't keep ignoring me."

Again, you didn't pay him any mind.

You had better things to do than giving him your attention, like tapping the screen of your phone to like a TikTok of a funny puppy.

"Hey!" You yelled, when your phone was pulled from your grasp, Jaehoon holding it high and away from your reach.

"I was talking to you."

"I have nothing say to you," you sneered, "give me my fucking phone back."

"Not until you give me a reason why you've ghosted me," he threatens, and you groan, rubbing the space between your eyebrows when it began to throb. "Do you really think you're better than me, Y/N? To act like nothing happened between us?"

"Yeah, actually, I do think I'm better than you," you stated, tilting your head to side with raised eyebrows. "We went out for a week, Jaehoon. You were boring and being unnecessarily bossy over me, so of course, I ended it." You tried to reach for your phone, but he raised his hand higher, ducking his head so he was close to being eye level with you, a threatening glare behind his eyes.

"You really think you can talk to me like that?"

"Yes, she can." Within seconds, your phone was out of Jaehoon's grasp and he was shoved to the side, away from you. Jun appeared, wiping your phone against his shirt before handing it back to you, to which you sent him a tight smile. Jun stood by you, your figure slightly hidden behind his broad frame, arms crossed over his chest as he eyed Jaehoon down. "Don't you have a prop to move?"

"We'll talk another time." This guy might be the dumbest person you've met because how does the fact that you keep avoiding him not register in his head to leave you alone? Once you saw Jaehoon disappear through the doors, you kicked the air, letting out a frustrated yell, Jun watching you from the side with wide, concerned eyes. You practically clawed your face, unsure of how to let the anger be relieved from your body.

"Are… are you okay, Y/N?" He finally stopped you from your… performance. "I'm guessing he's upset because you dumped him?" You didn't bother accusing him of eavesdropping, you were too tired.

Closing your eyes, you nodded weakly.

Jun's brows furrowed deeper, holding onto your shoulder as he noticed how your face seemed paler than usual. "Are you okay, Y/N?"

You weakly shrugged off his hand, mumbling, "I'm fine."

"You don't look fine." You glared at him, finding it annoying that he was worried about you. "Just head home, you've done a great job so far, you deserve the rest."

It didn't register to you what he said; the words of affirmation. It didn't seem natural for you to hear it from Jun, but the words slipped past his lips so naturally, it was as if he has always thought that, just waiting for the moment to voice his thoughts out to you.

You could tell he acted differently around you, or maybe you were just looking too into it, not used to him being aware of your presence, worrying about you, and making sure you weren't tiring yourself out. Yunjin says that you were overanalyzing it, that Jun has always been a caring person and looked for everyone, whether they were the actors in the play or the crew behind the production. You convinced yourself that was true, that your ego was growing too big.

"Yeah, we could do that for scene four if you're comfortable with that," Jun reassured you, a warmth behind his eyes as they glanced at you and back at the script at hand. It was opening night in five hours, and in ten minutes, you were supposed to do final rehearsal. You and Jun were discussing on some last minute adjustments behind the curtains.

As Jun explained about one of the scenes, you listened intently, nodding as you glanced between him and your script, writing down whatever seemed necessary to note down before you stopped, your eyes moving past him and finding Jaehoon staring at you, brows furrowed. You only rolled your eyes before focusing back on your co-star.

"Hey, Jun, I need to talk to you about your costume," Mingyu approached him, pulling him to the side after sending you an apologetic look, to which you only nodded, assuring him it was okay to steal him away. You were focused on the annotations you were making in your script. Looking over to where Mingyu pulled Jun, they seemed to have a brief discussion as Mingyu seemed a bit distracted as well as voices were echoing through his earpiece.

"It's okay, whatever is fine, I'll have Yeji use pins if it's too big," Jun reassured his junior, to which Mingyu sighed in relief and walked away after thanking him.

"All's good?" You mouthed to Jun and he nodded, his lips pressed in a thin smile, a smile you mirrored before it dropped, your eyes finding Jaehoon walking towards you. Quickly, panicking that he would take this moment to harrass you again, you walked in front of Jun, placing your hands on his cheeks, uttering, "Kiss me."

"What?" Your eyes looked past the older one, seeing Jaehoon pause in his steps as he watched the two of you.

"I'm kissing you," you stated lastly, before pulling his lips to yours. Confused and taken back by surprise, Jun froze against you, his eyes opened as he stared at your closed ones before he moved his hands to your waist, letting his eyelids flutter close.

You peeked through one eye, finding the spot where Jaehoon was previously standing at, empty. Your eyes then snapped open, realizing what you did and who you did it with, before you shoved Jun a bit too aggressively. "I'm sorry!"

"Y/N—"

You bowed at a ninety-degree angle. "I'm sorry!" Before you turned on the heels of your feet and ran towards the bathroom. You could hear Jun following right behind you, his long legs carrying himself quicker than you could and before you could disappear and lock yourself in the bathroom stalls, he pulled at your hand, shoving your back against the wall right outside where you were headed.

You stared at him like a deer caught in headlights, watching as he tried to regain his breath, his two hands found on either side of your head, caging you in.

"What was that?"

Cue the rambling. "I'm sorry, I panicked. I saw Jaehoon approaching me when you left for a bit, and I didn't know what else to do because he was obviously not getting the message, and I don't know why I did what I did, but just know that I will never do it again and it was an act just to get that freak to leave me alone."

You inhaled a deep breath right after, watching Jun's face, waiting for a reaction, for him to curse at you for kissing him before you heard him agree to it.

You watched as he blinked repeatedly, eyes darting around your face before his brows knitted together. "It was an act?"

"Y-yeah…?" You answered unsure, confused. "I mean, yeah of course it was, and I think Jaehoon probably thought we were practicing for the scene later today since we never got to kiss during previous rehearsals…"

"Oh." Oh? Just 'oh'?

"I'm sorry for kissing you, Jun, especially since I didn't wait to hear a yes," you apologized again.

"Oh, I don't forgive you," he stated simply, finally placing his arms down and by his side.

"What?" Your brows furrowed together, beginning to feel annoyed. "Why not?"

He only shrugged. You rolled your eyes, sighing, "Then what can I do for you to forgive me?" Again, he shrugged. "You're so annoying."

"I'm kidding, Y/N," he stated, shoving your shoulder gently. "I forgive you, it's just…"

"Just what?"

"I would've much rather had my first kiss with you during a time where we were not acting."

The way your face heated up, you were sure you were going to burst into flames, after he said that, especially, with that shit-eating smirk on his face.

[soobasaur]

are you mine?

— a lee minho au

genre: enemies to lovers minho x gender neutral!reader

a/n: this is for my bestie who has been in a minho obsession lately and needs more content, you know who you are :]

« masterlist

you and minho didnt exactly,,,get along very well for a while

the only reason you both even knew each other was two of your best friends were dating and merged ur friend groups

(thanks a lot binsung 〴⋋_⋌〵)

you wouldnt go as far as to say you hated him

but you liked to pretend you did

you just barely saw him around so why not just mke him your mortal enemy??

it was easier to hate him then admit he was decent company!!

you had a reputation to uphold!!!!

and apparently he did too because he never really disagreed,,,,

you guys just ever had a chance to get off on the right foot and really talk

mutual disagreement <33

the thing is, the both of you were never left alone together

like ever

until that one time yall were abandoned (-д-；)

you and ur friend groups planned a hang out but everyone ended up cancelling last minute with no excuse

it was just you two who didnt get the memo and ended up alone

now that you think about it,,,that sounds like smth ur friends would do on purpose

(again, fuck u binsung!! ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ )

so just picture this,,,you and minho both showing up to an arcade and sitting in silence for an hour before getting a text that everyone cancelled

your immediate thought was to go home bc why would minho want to hang out with you???

but after the both of you read the text in the groupchat he got up and made his way inside, holding the door open and quirking his eyebrow up at you

“well, are you coming or not? I wanna try the new vr game.”

and you were just like \\(⊙︿⊙)// ???

he? wants?? to hang out??? with just you????

but u ended up following him in and he paid for your guy’s tickets ≧◡≦

“just buy me lunch after and we’re even”

lunch??? now this mf wants to get lunch together?!$%

you learned one thing about minho that day

he was,,,competitive,,VERY competitive

like what demon possessed him kind of competitive

whenever he won he would flash you a smirk and skip to the next game as he dragged his row of tickets along

it INFURIATED U!!!

ur pride was in shambles

so you unleashed everything after that and won a good amount of games ;)

u had been eyeing a cute cat plush the entire time but u didnt have enough tickets at the end :((

o(╥﹏╥)o damn it capitalism u just wanted a plushie

you didnt rlly want anything else so you gave your tickets to minho and waited to the side for him to get his prize

he came out with tHE SAME PLUSHIE YOU HAD BEEN EYEING \\( ಠ_ಠ)//

but before you could sulk about it he handed it to you and started to make his way to the exit Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

and during lunch this bitch ended up paying even after saying you should (｀ε´)

\(▰˘◡˘▰)//\\ (▰˘◡˘▰)//\\ (▰˘◡˘▰)// \\(▰˘◡˘▰)//

After that...hang out if you will,,u started to notice minho everywhere

LIKE E V E R Y W H E R E

why was this bitch all over your college campus?

you never noticed minho was in ur class for the longest time jsskkfk

like all of a sudden u just spotted him out of the corner of ur eye and were like o h

once he noticed you too there was no going back

say good bye to paying attention in class

(as if you ever did anyways)

he started to inch closer to you during class

he even started sending you notes

ಠ▃ಠ and u were so paranoid the professor would catch you

but this bitch was slick so u were fine

ヽ(๏∀๏ )ﾉ

he was the type of guy to throw little crumpled sticky notes at you whenever he wanted to say something during class

they’d be covered with doodles of cats and his scribbly messy handwriting + little hearts

it was usually just some dumb thought he had or a crude drawing of the professor (. ﾟーﾟ)

other than those few notes you guys never really talked outside ur friend group

there was one incident late at night tho

you had a big project coming up and it was 2am and you were...2 sentences in T_T

you deserved a coffee break <3

so that was how you found under the awning of an all night coffee shop

except it wasn't all night and closed right after you got ur coffee!!

and now u were stuck under the awning!!

all you had was your measly hoodie that you stole from changbin and your now soggy cup of coffee as you waited for the rain to pass

you might as well of just stayed home since ur wasting all this time you could’ve been working on your project standing outside

were you gonna work on the project once you got home? no

but did the thought of wasted time still make you mad? yes

you slumped against the shop as you bitterly drank your coffee, crushing the cup between your hands

after a couple minutes you felt the rain above you stop

you look to your side to see,,,minho?!

this mf was holding an umbrella above your head

“here, take my umbrella.”

thats when you noticed the cafe uniform he had on

“you work here?” you asked, before taking the umbrella from his hand

“yeah, your observant ass didnt see me literally make your coffee,”

“oh whoops,,,i thought you hated me, why are you giving me our umbrella?”

“i do, but id rather you uh...not die in the cold looking like a dead rat.”

was it just you or were his cheeks dusted pink?

probably the cold

(y/n you dumb bitch-)

you both walk back to your dorms after that

and he insists you carry the umbrella

cus his poor arms are tired from making coffee all day :((

and maybe it's an excuse to be closer to you

since hes a bit taller he has to crouch and scoot closer to you in order to not get wet >_<

⊙﹏⊙ ⊙﹏⊙ ⊙﹏⊙

over the next few weeks your find urself at the cafe he works at more often

one time you got the hours wrong and he wasnt on shift :(

but when you got up to leave he walked in and spent the day helping you study instead of working

you went for the coffee!! not for him!! definitely not,,,

(¬‿¬)

“look, im only hanging out with you cus you get the employee discount.”

“sure, and not cus you enjoy my company-”

“i 100% despise your company.”

ok but u didnt

u actually /REALLY/ liked his company

like WTF

where has he been all ur life

ew that sounded too romantic

but like fr where was he hiding

(・ε・｀)

soon you both were joining binsung on their dates

but it wasn't a double date!!

it was just four friends hanging out and two happened to be a couple

and they liked to hang out at fancy restaurants and do couple like activities

totally normal!!

there was one incident where you were about to pay for your meal but minho placed his hand on top of yours and slid his card instead

“you can pay on the next date.”

NEXT? DATE??

excuse me sir what do u mean-

you ignored changbin and jisung’s snickers behind you the entire night

when minho walked you home you couldnt help but let urself blurt out

“was this a date?”

minho gave you an incredulous look

“...was it not??”

oh my god this is embarrassing

“OH MY GOD WAS IT NOT?!!”

you ignored how minho was now turning crimson red and panicking and tugged on his collar, pulling him down for a kiss

“it was...a date” you mumble, now shy at the close proximity between the two of you

“...im gonna kill jisung.” he muttered, pulling you in for a hug, “he told me this was a double date”

“that can be our next date, the murder of our best friends.”

“wow i am in love with you.”

＼（＾○＾）人（＾○＾）／

minho and y/n murder besties!!

for legal reasons that is a joke

( ˶˘ ³˘(˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)♡

thank you for reading !!

[not-me-simping-for-blasty]

Sorry for the late request but I just saw the Bakugo headcannons for when he was a little kid and I was wondering if I could request something similar for Kirishima

pls i would love to- full warning tho i don’t write kiri pretty much at all so sorry if its a teeny bit ooc!!!! but still,, hope u enjoy ty for the request lovely !!!

okay,, so tiny bb kirishima right- first here’s some general hcs for him bc i couldnt stop myself

-he learns how to tie his shoes first. i cant tell u why he learns first, i just know he wants to be a big kid so he figures it out super early,,, n then he’ll just go around either tying everyone’s shoes for them or teaching them how

-probably has a lot of action figures. makes full in-depth plots for them when he plays. super intense stories with betrayal and romance and high-stakes,, acts out different voices too

-okay, i adore kiri but,,,, he chugs his juice without breathing, gasps super heavily for oxygen afterwards, n then leaves with a constant juice stain around his mouth. he just has too many friends to play with,, he can’t slow down to get a drink of all things

-connects markers together n swings them like a sword. makes ?explosion? noises for some reason when he does it

-probably jabs pencils into his skin. his quirk is developing n he’s a curious little bb,, pls stop him before he stabs himself on a whim

-is incredibly gullible. he believes everyone is his best friend and everyone has only best intentions. this means he frequently gets in trouble for doing something dangerous after being dared to

-very much the kid who will memorize his alphabet backwards, n then repeat it to other people unprompted. not for any particular reason he just thinks its cool

now for the real stuff,,,, hcs about being bby kiri’s childhood crush/best friend

-firstly, kiri introduces u to everyone new as not only his best friend, but also tells them the coolest thing about u. so, for example, he’ll be like “hi i’m kirishima n this is Y/N. they’re my best friend and they can whistle!” ,,, this is how introductions go every single time without fail, no exceptions

-he asks u to draw tattoos on him with markers. pls u just scribble all over his skin n then he’ll show them to his horrified parents like “oh, hey guys, look! so manly right?”

-probably wants to build forts for you guys in the woods. out of like sticks n rocks and stuff. he doesn’t like to build by himself tho,, so he’ll beg u to help

-he’ll probably try to eat gross things to impress u. so like, y’all will watch a movie n he sees a cool, ‘manly’ guy in it drinking black coffee,,,, cue 7 yr old kiri begging his parents for black coffee, just to drink it and immeadiately spit it out in front of u

-creates a million different handshakes. just so many, n teaches u all of them

-crashes so hard every time his parents bring him over for a playdate. like he’ll be 100% enthusiam for 40 mins n then completely collapse into u, dead asleep when ur in the middle of a board game

-u can’t tell me he wouldnt be the clingiest little guy. not necessarily in a possessive way, but just, ur his favorite friend and so if anything good happens he wants u to be there for it with him

-tiny kiri would probably hug and kiss and hold hands. just rlly affectionate towards everybody but especially his close friends

-saves his snacks for when u can eat with him. like, he’d rather wait, even if he has to share the food with u, than eat by himself

-he is v desperate for ur approval/attention tho,, n often does little things to get you to laugh. these include

1.) if someone with glasses is talking to you, he’ll stand behind their back and put his fingers into little ‘o’s around his eyes. not even to make fun of them or anything,, he just thinks it’s silly to pretend to have glasses when he doesnt

2.) tells other kids that it’s ur birthday when it’s not. both of u find it very funny when other people keep mistakenly wishing u a happy birthday

3.) intentionally hardens his skin when u high-five him,,, just so he can hear u laugh and recoil back

-bb eijiro tells you ‘secrets’,,, there has literally not once ever been an actual secret, he just tells u there is so u lean in. then he just smiles n whispers a little ‘spspspsps’ in ur ear while giggling

-when he has to draw his family in school he’ll draw u in. n the teacher will come over like “no, the assignment was just the family that you live with at home’ n he’ll just smile and refuse to change it. says no politely tho,, he’s still a sweet boy

-will follow u in hide and seek. like,, if y’all are both hiding he’s just going to go hide close to where u are. then he’ll make noise so he’s found first and intentionally lead the seeker away from u

-challenges himself to ridiculous feats to impress u. just like, he’ll see a bee and intentionally go bother it so he can prove how ‘tough’ he is to you by not crying when it stings him. spoiler alert- he cries. that doesn’t stop him from trying again tho

-so in conclusion,, bb kiri is the cutest little guy on earth. just a total sweetheart

hope u enjoyed @lazyfiresuitcasehero ,, ty once again for the request babes!!!

Little Shit:

Part 1: Wrapped Around A Finger

This is for week 96 of @wackydrabbles prompt: I can't -- I have a deadline. Prompt will be in bold.

Okay, so I couldnt fit all of this into the 2000 word limit and had to break it up and didn't have the heart to cut.

@kingliam2019​ you made a request for a Little Shit story on New Year’s Eve and it only took 5 months to come up with something, so this one is for you.

If you're unfamiliar with the Little Shit series (because it has been over a year since I wrote anything for it) Nikolas is Liam and Riley's 5 year old mischievous son who just can't help from wreaking havoc, especially toward Drake. He enjoys getting a rise out of him even if he does love his Uncle ... for the most part.

Warning: Crude Language. Mention of Covid and vaccinations.

Word count: 1928

-----------------------

Returning from the stables one afternoon, Drake was stopped at the palace door by security -- again -- for not wearing the required mask to enter.

“Mr. Walker, I’m afraid you need to have a mask on before I can allow you inside. I have to tell you this every day.”

“That because I fucking live here,” Drake grumbled as he snagged the offered surgical mask from the guard. 

“Not in the common areas, Mr. Walker.”

“You know this whole virus thing is just a conspiracy and Liam is using it to control all of us, right? He’s gone mad. This shit’s never gonna end.”

“I understand, sir.” The guard waited patiently as Drake begrudgingly slipped the mask over his face. “Perhaps, though, there is an alternative, one where you wouldn’t have to wear one anymore. They’re offering free vaccines in room 105 today. If you get the shot, you won’t need to wear a mask when you come inside,” the guard cajoled.

Drake let out a humorless laugh.“I’m sure that’s exactly what Liam wants: make a guinea pig out of me. Pump me full of that radioactive shit and in five years I’ll have a tail growing out of my face. No thanks.” Drake disregarded the information and moved past the man.

“But, sir .. .they’re giving away bottles of whiskey to the first 100 recipients. Last I heard, they were close to reaching that number. Top of the line stuff too.”

Drake turned on the heel of his work boots, glaring back, before asking skeptically. “Whiskey? They’re giving away alcohol to get this damn shot?” The guard nodded in response.

“Glenfiddich -- 1955, I believe. The King paid for it himself.”

Drake’s eyes widened in disbelief. “That’s a $90,000 bottle! And they’re just giving them away if you get this shot?”

“I … um … yes. His Majesty wants to reward those who are doing their part to create a healthier and safer Cordonia. He won’t rest until every last citizen is vaccinated from this dreaded virus. We can all fight this … together. What do you say, Mr. Walker? Will you help stop the spread?”

“For a $90,000 bottle of whiskey? Hell yeah! I’ll grow two tails out my heads for -- hold on a damn minute …” Drake burrowed his eyes into the guard who was sweating bullets, desperate for him to leave. “Where the hell is Nikolas at? This whole thing reeks of him..” Drake’s eyes began darting around the perimeter in a feverish search for the little prince’s battery operated car. “That little shit is blackmailing you, isn’t he? I should have known.”

The guard straightened and answered in a solemn tone, “I’m a serious professional, Mr. Walker. And I take your accusations of being anything but, demeaning to the loyalty and oath I’ve given to the Crown. How dare you stand there --”

“Okay, okay. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to suggest otherwise.” Drake ran a hand down his weary face in frustration. “It’s just that kid is the bane of my existence. I’ve had a long, hard day at work and I’m in no mood for his fucking stunts.”

The guard waved him off. “Nah, don’t worry about it. I’ve heard all about the stuff he’s pulled on you.” He leaned in closer and spoke in a hushed tone, “Between you and me, he’s a little pain in my ass too; always coming down here acting like he runs this place. If you ever need help teaching that kid a lesson, I’d be happy to help.”

Drake arched a brow. “Loyalty to the crown, huh?” The man regarded that retort with an awkward shrug. “Yeah, he needs his ass busted, that’s for sure. Liam thinks he just needs a little more love. I’d like to show him the Bianca F. Walker way of love.” He slammed his hands together.

The guard chuckled. “I’m with you on that. He needs something done; he’s out of control … Anyway, you should probably head on up there and get your shot -- and whiskey -- before they’re all out. I wish I’d have waited to get mine until today.”

Twisting his face in doubt, Drake walked around the corner and leaned up against the wall as he pulled out his phone. Something just didn’t feel right, and he determined the safest thing to do was shoot off a quick text to his best friend.

Drake: Liam, are you really giving away Glenfiddich, 1955, to get the Covid vaccine?

He waited a brief moment until a response came through; he looked down at his phone and read:

Liam: Yes.

Drake: Is that all you have to say about that?

Liam: Yes.

Liam: I am in meeting for Cordonia.

Drake tilted his head to the side and scratched at it as he stared at the odd message. He typed out another response.

Drake: What kind of meeting for Cordonia? And with who?

Liam: Top secret. Can't tell you.

Drake: Uh-huh. Where’s Nikolas?

Liam: With Riley and baby in Vallteria

Liam: Shit. Valtoria

Drake: What’s the capital of the United States?

Liam: Damn it Drake I’m in a meeting!

Drake: Then hurry up and answer

Liam: Washington D.C.

Drake: Who shot me at the costume ball?

Liam: You son of a bitch. IM IN A MEETING!

Drake let out a heavy groan and decided to just call Riley. He knew without a doubt Nikolas took Liam’s phone again. If he called Riley, though, there was no way the boy could pretend he was her.

Picking up almost instantly, Riley answered cheerfully, “Hello. Queen Riley speaking.”

“Riley, it’s Drake. I was just wondering if you and Liam were really giving away whiskey for getting this shot? Sounds a little fishy to me.”

There was a moment of silence, then a clicking noise, followed by a long beep, before Riley replied. “Yes. We. Are. Giving. Away …. Whiskey. Get.The.Shot.Drake.”

“The hell is wrong with your voice?”

“I.Am.In.Valtoria.”

“Riley, why the fuck are you enunciating every word?”

“I. Have. A. Cold. And. Must.Talk.Slow. Nikolas.Is.With.Me. And. I. Must. Get ... Going. Bye. Drake ...You. Ass. Hole.” 

Drake rolled his eyes and slipped the phone in his back pocket. “He’s got her phone, too. Damn that evil-ass kid.” He hesitantly made his way down to room 105; it wouldn’t hurt anything just to open the door and see if there was anything legit about this. As he approached, a lovely lady he knew from the kitchen exited with a big smile on her aging face and a bottle she cradled in her arms; he recognized it almost instantly as the Glenfiddich.

“Miss Milly,” Drake greeting kindly and held the door open for her. “You’re looking as lovely as ever.”

“Oh, you.” She laughed bashfully in her grandmotherly voice as she stepped into the corridor. “You’re always flirting with me, Drake. One of these days, I’m going to make you take me out on a date, buy me dinner, and give me a peck on the cheek at the end of the night.” 

Drake smiled back fondly at her. “You just tell me when, Miss Milly, and I’m there.” He motioned to the bottle in her hand. “Say … couldn’t help but notice that bottle of whiskey you’re carrying around; where’d you get that at? That brand doesn’t come cheap.”

“Ohhh, I know. But I heard they were giving shots in that room right there.” She pointed with a crooked finger. “And they said I was the 99th person to stop by, and gave this to me after getting my shot. I couldn’t believe my luck. And they only have one bottle left. I can finally put my grandson through college.” 

“That’s great! And you said there is still one more bottle left?”

She nodded her head. “Yes. But you better hurry. One of the chefs is on his way here for a shot as well.”

Drake hurriedly kissed her on the cheek and opened the door. Thank you, Miss Milly!” He stepped inside, then stopped and whipped his head back out the door. “Milly, wait. Have you seen Prince Nikolas today?”

“Yes, he left with the Queen after breakfast this morning. I believe they mentioned going to Valtoria.”

Drake rubbed his hands together anxiously and thanked her. He’d known the cook for years, she’s the sweetest person he knew. There was no way she would cover for Nikolas, and Drake couldn’t imagine the boy would have any dirt to hold over her head.

When the door shut, Nikolas grinned mischievously from a dark alcove where he was parked in his black 12V Mercedes Benz S63. “This is the day I’ve been waiting for.”

He set his laptop and both parents' phones in the passenger seat and slowly pulled out. He paid $100 to Milly and asked her to put the bottle back in his father’s liquor cabinet and rolled a few paces to room 105.

======

After filling out medical forms, the palace doctor ushered Drake behind a curtain where a long rectangular table and folding chair sat. Taking the seat, Drake watched the doctor slip on a pair of gloves and pull a small tube of lube out of his lab coat pocket. Drake furrowed his brows in confusion. “Heh. What’s the lube for?” he chuckled lightly. “I’m just here for a shot, man. Nothing else is going in me.”

“Just relax, Mr. Walker. It’s all part of the process.” A squirt of clear liquid was squeezed onto the doctor's two gloved fingers as he held them up. “On your medical forms you denied having a physical exam in the past year. I just need to do a quick exam and check for rectal polyps.”

Drake started laughing in amusement, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “You’ve got to be shittin' me. So let me get this straight. I can’t get a shot until you stick your fingers in my ass to check for ‘polyps?’ Yeah, that’s happening. What a bunch of horse malarky.”

The doctor let out an annoyed huff. “I see you didn’t read over the information forms. They never do,’ he mumbled. “Look, if you want me to wait here all day while you figure out what to do, I can’t -- I have a deadline to finish here. Now if you’ll move along, I have another patient waiting; you’re free to go.”

And Drake knew he was. But that expensive bottle of Glenfiddich was calling his name. He glanced over to that one last beautiful bottle sitting atop a desk on the far side of the room, calling his name. Selling it for even half of what it was worth would afford him enough to move the hell out of the palace and get the freedom from Nik he desired. Rubbing a hand over the scruff on his chin, Drake's timid gaze turned from the bottle to the doctor. He could handle a finger or two in ass for a few seconds if t made him $90,000 richer. 

“Okay. What do I need to do?”

Nikolas quietly typed on the keyboard of his laptop from the opposite side of the curtain. The images from the hidden cameras plastered on the wall where Drake was seated popped into view on his screen. Feeding a link to, and overriding the broadcast feed at the CBC, Nik crouched down low and waited with little beady eyes for the exam to begin. “Perfect ...Okay, Doc, let’s see if you can get a hole in one.”

[bitch-out]

OKAY i know you didn’t ask for a full length fic but... i couldnt help myself. here it is: 

Four times Alex saw signs that the world was changing to become more accepting of people like him, and the one time he actually realized it.

1. TV SHOW

After finishing practice for the night, the band walked into Julie’s house. Luke immediately walked into the kitchen, wanting to see what meal her dad was whipping up. His obsession with watching lifers eat was starting to get a little concerning. Reggie followed after him, wanting to hang out with Julie’s dad. That was also a little concerning.

Julie plopped down on the couch next to her little brother, Carlos, who was watching a TV show that she didn’t recognize. Alex hopped over the couch and took a seat next to her, looking at the screen intently.

“What is he watching?” Alex asked, reclining into the couch.

Julie shrugged in response. “I’m not sure…”

Carlos looked over to her with a questioning expression. “Huh?” Oh crap. She needed to stop talking to the boys while other people were around. It made her look absolutely bonkers.  

“…what you’re watching! I’m not sure what you’re watching.” She said quickly, trying to avoid any awkwardness. “What is it?”

He seemed to buy it, letting her weirdness go. “Oh, I’m watching this new show. I forget what it’s called. It’s about this girl who accidentally gets musical superpowers after getting stuck by lightning.”

“Cool,” she answered, settling into the couch. She and Alex watched for a few minutes before looking at each other in confusion. They had absolutely no idea what was going on in the show. They looked at the screen as the main character sighed dramatically, slamming her door while running out of her house. “I’m lost. What’s happening? Why is she so mad?” Julie asked.

Carlos rolled his eyes. “She’s in a fight with her dads right now because they won’t let her go to this big party. Now shhh! It’s getting juicy!”

Luke’s eyes went wide as the scene switched to the main characters dads, who were sharing a tender moment while discussing their child. Two dads? On television? Without it being played off as a joke? He couldn’t tear his eyes away from the screen.

Julie looked at him inquisitively, noticing his surprised expression. She raised an eyebrow.

“I see.” A soft smile settled on his face. “Cool.” He bit his lip and leaned back.

“Cool.” She agreed. She almost said something, but then decided it would be better for her to wait for him to tell her.

2. PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION

“People watching in 2020 is way better than people watching in the 90’s.” Reggie stated as they walked through downtown LA. They were killing time while Julie was at school. They passed a man in a superhero costume who was taking pictures with tourists.

“I know right?” Luke agreed. “I love looking over people’s shoulder and watching what they’re doing on those… high tech cellphone things.”

“Smartphones,” Alex offered.

“Smartphones, right.”

Reggie ran over to a middle aged guy in a suit sitting on a bench who was looking intently at his phone. “Look at this guy! He’s looking at an article called ‘How to tell if you have foot fungus’.” He wrinkled his nose. “Gross. You might wanna get that checked out, buddy,” patting his shoulder, his hand passing right through.

Luke looked around for someone else to observe. “Okay see the one over there in the blue striped shirt eating a chili dog?” He pointed over to his left to a man walking away from a hot dog stand.  

The man went to take a bite out of his chili dog but dripped it all down the front of his shirt. “Oooooh…. Missed his mouth on that one,” Luke said, cringing.

“That’s nasty,” Alex chimed in.

A guy who looked to be around their age speed walked past them, looking down. He brushed his shaggy blonde hair out of his face as he grinned down at his phone. He was obviously walking with a purpose.

“This guy is hustling! Cmon!” Reggie grinned, jogging after him. Luke and Alex ran over to catch up, all three of them following in pursuit. They all looked over his shoulder to read his text messages. He was texting someone he had named “babe <3” in his contacts.

Can’t wait to see u, his text read, im right around the corner

Reggie whistled. “His girlfriend’s probably a complete hottie if he’s that excited to see her-”

As they turned the corner, the blonde stranger they were following put his phone away as he caught sight of someone. He broke into a run and bear hugged the person, wrapping his arms around them and lifting them off the ground. As he pulled away, it was revealed that the person he was hugging was a brunette guy around the same age as them.

The brunette murmured something, his lips quirking into a smirk. The blonde teen let out a laugh, then pulled him into a kiss.

Alex nearly gasped in surprise, looking around to notice that… not a singular person was looking over. Everyone was just going about their day as normal. No glares, no sneers, not even a scoff.

It felt like the breath was sucked out of his lungs. Was this… normal? The couple broke apart and joined hands, continuing down the street. Alex couldn’t help the smile that spread across his face. No one had even batted an eyelash at the public display of affection.

To him, it hadn’t been that long ago since 1995. When even looking at someone for too long would get you called a slur. When his own father would call him a-

“Alex? You good?” He was broken out of his thoughts by Luke looking over at him concernedly.

Alex opened his mouth to respond, but was cut off by someone else.

“There you guys are! I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”

They turned around in tandem to see Julie standing there, her eyes sparkling. And they continued with their day, moment forgotten.

3. MUSIC

Alex found himself once again alone with Julie, hanging out with her in her room. He was the only member of the band she would let hang out with her in here, which filled him with an odd sort of pride.

They were currently listening to one of her Spotify playlists. Julie was doing homework on her bed and Alex was tapping his drumsticks on his knee, following the beat of the song they were listening to. He was getting into the groove of the song “This song has a good beat!” he exclaimed. “What is this?”

She grinned at him. “It’s called ‘Girls like Girls’ by Hayley Kiyoko!” She stood up on her bed, dropping her homework and singing into an imaginary microphone as the chorus hit. She belted at the top of her lungs, “Girls like girls like boys do, nothing new~” She laughed as she flopped back onto her bed.

He gaped at her, surprised that she was treating it with such nonchalance. In the 90’s, this would have been music you listened to at 2 am when your parents were asleep. “Is this a… popular song?” he asked.

“Yeah, I mean it’s from like 2015 so it’s basically ancient but it’s still pretty popular.” She turned back to her homework and picked up her pen. “I think the music video has like over 100 million hits on YouTube or something like that.”

His jaw dropped even further “100 million?”

The timer on her phone went off. The words BAND PRACTICE blared across the screen with the chime of her ringtone. “I’ll show it to you later! But we have to go to rehearsal right now.”

He shook his head and followed her out of the room.

4. COVINGTON

As both his friends were pulled away by girls saucily dancing in feathered blue outfits, Alex stood awkwardly like a fish out of water. Covington slid up to him with a sly smirk on his face. “Come now. You can’t be the only one not dancing.”

“No, I… I know.” Alex sputtered. “I’m just…” Not into dancing with girls? No, he couldn’t just say that. He didn’t want to cause a scene. He pointed over his shoulder. “I’m looking for Willie,” he finished lamely.

Covington seemed to read him like an open book. He smiled and gestured with open palms. “Dante! Fuego!” Two handsome men slid up to either side of him. “Meet Alex.” The linked arms with him.

Alex looked at them, surprised. How did he know? Is this like a theater thing? Or… “You’re welcome,” Covington smirked, ducking down. Is this normal here…?

His thoughts were cut off as he was lifted up over Covington’s head and pulled into a fast-paced dance.

5. PRIDE

“Slow down Willie!” Alex shouted, running after his brunette friend as he skated through lifers and tore down the street.

Willie laughed and hopped off his board, picking it up off the ground. He waited for Alex to catch up with him “Relax, we’re almost here…”

Alex was too busy catching his breath to realize they were in the middle of a giant crowd. Lifers walked through them every few seconds like it was nothing “Wh-What is this?” Alex asked, looking around. Everyone was wearing colorful clothing and most were wearing some kind of glitter.

The skater laughed and grabbed his hand, pulling him toward the street. “We’re skating the floats, dude.” He pointed at the bright floats that were parading down the street.

Was this some kind of festival or something? Alex wondered. “Why is everything so… colorful?”

Willie looked at him like he was missing something obvious. “It’s June. Pride month.” Alex didn’t know what that was. He looked around, trying to figure it out. “You’ve never seen a pride parade before?” Willie questioned. Then, he realized. “Right. Right, you’re a 90’s ghost. I keep forgetting about that.” He slapped his forehead.

Then, he realized what this was. Alex turned to his right and saw two women kissing. A couple of guys his age were holding hands right next to him. Signs as far as the eye could see read ‘here and queer’ and ‘all you need is love’ and ‘love is love’ and countless other sayings. His breath stuttered in his chest “This is…”

“I know. Pretty cool, right?” Willie asked, sounding pretty nonchalant. He was scouting out the floats, focused on his task.

“And this is all for…” Alex hesitated, “For gay people?”

“All LGBTQ+ people, technically, but yeah dude.” Willie clarified. He grinned, his eyes set on a float just down the road. He found the perfect route.

“So it really is different now, huh?” Alex asked, his voice cracking slightly. Willie looked back in alarm, not realizing how much this was impacting the drummer beside him. A tear rolled down his cheek, but his smile could not be bigger. Alex continued, “Like I had hoped it was, and there’s been some signs, but this is…” He covered his mouth to hide a sob.

Willie walked over to his side, dropping his skateboard and taking his hand gently. “Yeah, Alex. It’s different. Better. Not perfect, but... a lot better.” He squeezed his hand.

“It’s amazing.” Alex said, wiping the tears from his eyes with his sleeve and grinning. He let out a laugh as a drag queen passed by and waved at the crowd, blowing kisses.

The skater couldn’t take his eyes off of Alex. He was absolutely glowing, basking in the atmosphere of the parade. “You know what? Let’s forget the skating.” Willie decided, taking his skateboard from the side of the street and tucking it in an alley.

“Huh?” Alex was confused. Willie wanted to... not go skating?

“It’s time to get your pride on, Alex.”

Together, they spent the rest of the day exploring every area of pride, ducking through crowds and sneaking onto floats. There was even one point where they ran through a huge glitter cannon, getting absolutely covered in glitter.

After it was all done, Willie teleported back to Julie’s house with him to drop him off.

“That was the most fun I’ve ever had.” Alex admitted, his smile seemed to be permanently glued to his face.

“Me too. I’ve been to tons of pride parades, but none of them were as fun as this one.” Willie admitted.

“Really? What was different about this one? Was it the glitter cannon? It was probably the glitter cannon-”

“It was you, Alex.” The skater said quietly, brushing a couple stray pieces of glitter off of the taller boy’s cheek.

“Oh,” Alex breathed, looking down at Willie. His heart was racing a mile a minute. He hadn’t realized they were standing so close together.

Willie hesitated for a moment. Was this the moment? He didn’t want to rush Alex. He was probably overwhelmed enough after experiencing his first pride. He smiled up at the blonde and patted him on the shoulder. “Goodnight, Alex.” He stepped away and turned to leave.

He was just about to teleport when he heard “Wait!”

Willie turned around Alex kissed him.

He stiffened at first, surprised. Before he could respond, Alex pulled away and looked at him in panic.

“I’m so sorry, I thought-”

Willie grabbed him by the lapels and dragged him down, kissing him heatedly. Alex responded with enthusiasm, wrapping his arms around his waist.

“ABOUT TIME!” someone hollered from behind him.

They broke away to see Luke and Reggie beaming. They both ran over and hugged them both in a group hug. “We thought you two would never figure it out.” Luke said, causing Reggie to laugh. 

“Happy pride, Alex”. Willie murmured, squished up against his side. And Alex couldn’t have been happier.

Delusional - Part 9!

When Delaney woke up she didn't recognize anything around her. One thing she did know is she felt like she had been hit by a truck. Looking around her, the dimly lit room was empty apart from a shabby wooden table a few feet infront of her with a camera tripod placed in the centre. Looking down at the uncomfortable chair she was sat in she silently thanked god she was still in her shorts and Jax’s T-shirt she wore yesterday. As her head pounded painfully she tried to think back to yesterday and how the hell she ended up here. She couldnt remember anything after crying in the bathroom as Jax left. Jax. Oh God. He was probably hauled up with Tara making up for lost time. he probably didnt even know she was gone. Tears welled in her eyes as she realised no one was looking for her. No one knew she was gone. Before she could let herself panic too much the heavy steel door to the right of the room was slammed open. Out walked Kevin and Delaneys stomach dropped heavily. Yes Kevin was weird but he couldnt be the matermind behind this. NO. Delaney was 100% sure there was something else to this. She didnt have to wait long to get her answer either. A few minutes later Alex followed Kevin into the cold room with a video camera held tightly in his hands. Delaney Knew she was right. Her Jaw fell slack as she made eye contact with the man that ruined her life and nearly killed her. The man she was convinced for years she loved deeply. “Hey Babe, Did you miss me?” Alex smirked at the shock that was still clear on he face. “What? W-why? H-how?” Delaney could barley speak never mind stutter the small questions she do desperately wanted answers to. “Oh sweetie ill explain everything dont you worry. But first things first-” Alex raised his finger dramatically and turned to the video camera that now sat firmly on the tripod. Pressing the ON button and connecting a cable it beeped to life. “ I dont think your little Biker Bitch will want to miss out on this.” Before Delaney could say anything a chain was tightly hooked to the handcuffs around her wrists and yanked upwards. In seconds she was hung from the ceiling with her arms suspended above her head. Gasping in pain she clenched her eyes shut tightly. Her shoulders were on fire immediately and her toes barley brushed the damp floor. Glaring at Alex as he came to stand Beside her Delaney scoffed. “So whats the plan? Kill me? Send the video to the club? You know they’ll kill you right? You kill me and Jax will come for your head.” Alex burst out laughing and shook his head. “Oh Baby girl, you’ve grown some balls since you were mine.” Grabbing her face tightly he yanked her forward on the chain so she was closer to the camera. “This is being streamed to the Clubhouse as we speak. Kevin here managed to change the connection at the last beer delivery and you didnt even notice.” Tutting at her sarcastically Alex let go of her face and smiled at her. “Kevin here is a sucker for a pretty face. He fell for you pretty quickly. I find it quite rude you weren’t particularly nice about the gifts he left for you. The notes were me ofcourse. Poor Kevin here doesnt have the same artistic flare as me.” Alex’s smile was sinister as he turned from Delaney to take a Knife from Kevin. Delaney’s stomach turned as he made his way back towards her and grabbed her neck tightly so she couldnt flinch away. The grin on his face made Delaney feel sick as he cut the navy blue SAMCRO T-shirt from her body. She could only hope that whatever it was he had planned for her, he would kill her quick. 

The slamming of the clubhouse door hinted at Jax’s arrival. Half sack had called him to explain what showed up on the bar TV and within minutes every club member and Gemma was crowded around the large screen. Jax’s heart broke as his eyes locked on Delaney’s fearful ones. She was hung from the ceiling in nothing but a black lace bra and black cycle shorts. “So this is what you’ve been planning for the year we’ve been seperated? Finding me a stalker and planning your revenge?” Delaney spat angrily. Kevin stood in the corner just staring ad her as she was suspended half naked in the dirty room and it made her want to vomit. Jax turned up the volume on the TV just as Alex came into view. Looking at his mother Jax’s eyes were on fire with anger. “I thought you said he left her and moved back to England?” Gemma glared at her son. “ And i thought you were meant to be protecting her? You left her and the bastard swooped in and took her! I’m not the only one with some explaining to do am i?!” Jax shook his head and turned back to the screen. Now was not the time to argue with his impossible mother. He needed to focus on finding Delaney. He focused his attention back on the screen just in time to see Alex put the Knife to her neck. “You were mine. You really think i was going to let you go that easy? We would still be together if it wasnt for Jaxon Teller. You didnt care about me anymore once you met him.” Alex Gripped Delaney by the Hair and pulled her head back exposing her neck more. “You’re wrong! About everything.” Gasping in pain as strands of her hair were pulled out by the roots Delaney had to argue. She couldnt let him blame everything on Jax. “You’re just upset you lost your fucking punchbag! You beat me almost every day i was with you for nothing. The day i got that Job at Teller-Morrow was the day i got part of my life back. I wasnt just your housewife anymore. I had my own money and i was saving up to leave you.” Alex stepped away from Delaney his face crimson red with anger, But with tears streaming down her face she continued to tell him the truth. Her Truth. He needed to know just how much of a monster he was. “Then i came home late from a club party late, they’d asked me to work the bar, do you remember? How you accused me of sleeping with every member? How you told me the only thing i was good for was being passed around? That no one would ever want me?! Do you remember Alex? How you beat me so bad my eyes were swollen shut for days. How i was unconscious on our kitchen floor for 2 days. How you stomped on my chest the next morning and broke 4 of my ribs because i physically couldnt get up and make you breakfast! How you made me clean ourhouse on my hands and knees because i was in too weak, in too much pain to stand!” Alex scoffed as Delaney sobbed. “You fucking deserved it! You were sleeping with Teller behind my back! you just wanted to get rid of me so you could be with him. you never paid me any attention and hung around him like a desperate whore. You think i dont remember those times i came to pick you up from work to see you flirting with him right infront of my face. Laughing and Giggling like a teenage school girl! You were practically begging for him!” 

Grabbing hold of the chain Delaney was tied to he spun her around. Delaney knew what was coming next and couldnt help but squeeze her eyes shut in fear. “You didn't waste any time did you you bitch? you got his crow tattooed across your shoulders. Isn’t that how that sordid little club marks women as theirs?” Delaney stayed silent and hung her head as she felt Alex press the knife into the middle of her back where Jax’s initals sat underneath the black crow in flight that stretched across her upper back and shoulders. “Its not like that.” Delaney muttered as tears welled in her eyes. “Oh did he mark you as his then threw you away like the cheap little bitch you always have been? Poor Delaney, no one ever wanted you so you throw yourself at the first man that looks your way.” More tears fell from her eyes as she Shook her head, “You know NOTHING about him. He’s more of a man than you’ll EVER be. He’s a good person, Hes loyal and he would do anything for family. You? Youre a fucking coward.” Alex’s face was like thunder. Pulling the chain hard making her yelp in pain as she was quickly turned to face him he punched her in the face making her swing backwards. Feeling the blood run down her lips Delaney grinned as she met Alex’s brown eyes. “Point proven! You’ll put your hands on a woman but you’d never hit a man. As a Great friend of mine would say you’re a Slimy Wee Bastard.” Her heart clenched painfully as she thought of Chibs he was like a father to her and she wouldnt even get to say goodbye. 

Back at the Club house the other members of SAMCRO couldnt hide their shock at the revelation that Delaney had Jax’s Crow. “You marked her?” Clay nearly exploded. “You marked her as shes not even your old lady?!” Gemma didnt even jumped to her sons defence as Clay shoved Jax hard. “Its not like that. It just happened!” Jax didnt bother trying to explain. There was so much more they didnt know about his and Delaneys relationship. “But what if she wants to be with another guy? Maybe another member?” Jax lunged for the prospect at the thought of his girl being with someone else. “O-or E-even a-another guy. J-just a normal regular guy?” Juice smacked Half sack around the head for his stupidity as Opie pulled Jax back from ripping the prospect apart. “Can we please focus on trying to find her? Every minute she’s with that psycho is another minute we are closer to him Killing her.” Gemma refocused everyones attention back on the screen trying to find anything that looked familiar in the room. The needed to work out where this Idiot would take her. Jax mentally made one promise as he watched Delaneys terrified eyes. Once he had her safe in his arms. There was no way he was ever letting her go.

Let's try to get this final live blog on my station 19 rewatch done. I'm currently laid up on my couch in mild pain but unable to do anything else.

I don't really like flashback episodes but i want one for the premiere since we are jumping so far ahead. I hate that this episode starts with a fight. But damn knowing what the fight is over, i love how loyal andy is to maya in this episode. Something ive wanted for her and the team. Qnd also jaina looks gorgeous.

The fire scene yay another fire on the fire show lmao. Feel like we missed some last year which im sure was covid related.

The marina scene ugh chefs kiss. I love how happy and giddy they are. I do wish we couldve gotten to see some of their month apart communication and their quarantining apart those two weeks when carina got back. I wrote a little something related to that and i may share before the premiere of season 5.

The quiet moment between carina saying her morning was better than those 6 weeks and then asking about mayas folks was a beautiful and real moment and i love it. So brief it could be overlooked but great choice for team.

The little bit of danielle and stefania that was them and adlibbed in this episode was so great also.

I love that rhey addressed how everyone was able to attend maskless and how safe the wedding was keeping the real world element in. Also vic love you and your chicken dance comment makes me sad that we didnt get it.

Vics parents trying to talk to her about theo is so cute.

Poor lawyer she'd be good for dean.

I understand some people dont come out until late in life but that is hard to hear that you havent loved the person youve been with for decades like you do this new person. That would hurt me so much to hear, like i couldve been with someone who is my great love if youd told me sooner. I love/hate this storyline for travis family.

Ugh if this fire had gone on any longer those poor kids and elderly couple.

Haha andy you should wait until someone answers the door for you when visiting almost newlyweds or people who've been seperated for 6 weeks lmao.

Also maya's excuse and none wet (shower) sex hair i love it.

Ugh sullivan trying to defend himself makes me so upset.

Bailey giving ben hell about second and third opinions is funny, like i figure shed be all for it.

Inara and marcus leaving jack is sad. I hope we still get to see marsha in season 5. Also if they do pair jack and jo itd be a bit ironic. I mean jo too had an abusive ex like inara.

Also jack and his marsha have similar eyes, itd be something if it came out she really was his mom.

I dont understand how maya hadnt settled on what to wear she's queen of the clipboard lmao. Just goes to show how some things throw us off course. Also i totally get her saying her outfit choice will define her forever. I judge my look in my wedding photos all the time and feel like other people do as well.

Why do i feel like this exchange between maya and carina was mostly adlibbed? It just feels so fun.

This poor family and ugh i couldnt imagine having to make the tough calls of firefighters/fire captains.

Love that all the fire crew helped put the wedding on.

I understand travis emotion here.

How'd this conversation about maya's folks get started with andy???

I love that maya and andy's friendship is restored. Also famous last words maya, dont speak the bad juju into existence.

Dean you shouldve spoken up there.

Why the chief there? I live in a city and the chief aint showing up for a house call that needs a few units. At least not until fire is out of they for some reason cant get it out.

Lmao maya freaking out about wearing the same thing as carina. Andy therapizing maya is funny.

That poor boy.

The dad comments to ben are beautiful. Also love that so many of the team know how dean feels about vic.

So why is travis getting dressed separately than the rest of his team. I mean i know its because he doesnt know about Dean's feelings and pushes vic to give theo a chance as well as allow theo and travis to talk but come on. He wouldnt get ready separately.

Also what was the point of theo going to that room if not to get ready. Sorry just annoying.

I wish carina had had someone mention andrew to her. Whether ben, bailey, maya or even any of the fire team who worked on the call with him during the crossover awhile back. Her grief during this day of happiness should've been acknowledged, even with just a remembrance table for him amd other family she lost to covid.

I do love this beautiful moment with vic though saying this isnt all just for maya.

Oh my how i love the maya confronting her father. She is the brave i want to be. Also what she says to her mom, yes chefs kiss. However when her mom shows up at the wedding, really the woman couldnt grab a nice shirt or dress to wear on her way out or on her way to the wedding.

I also love the look of pride on maya's moms face both at the house and the wedding.

Im sad we probably wont get any moments of her living with marina due to the time jump.

Ugh the choice that cost maya her promotion but ahouldnt have.

Also with all maya's options for clothes, couldnt they had dressed her mama in something borrowed from maya. Lol im sorry it bothers me so.

Vic's song for the intro is beautiful. Barrett has a beautiful voice.

Maya is so happy her mom is there and i love it. Also in my head at least one person videoing is doing it for the greys family who couldnt make it to the wedding for carina.

I also love maya singing along with vic to carina.

Queen of the clipboard forgetting to write her vows is special and funny. I love carina talking her down from a panic attack. Also her simple vow is beautiful and how carina who probably did write her vows saying we're good instead of reading them after seeing maya's mom in attendance and the look shared is everything.

I truly believe that was the moment she 100% knew maya had changed from end of season 3, was definitely all the way in. She knew what it meant for maya's mom to be there.

Love the dance montage and improved marina kiss.

Another healing theo and travis talk.

Sullivan just cant let it go and ugh trying to justify it. I just cant, still not over it. Even if he isnt captain in season 5 it still isnt right.

Sullivan you cant say you have the teams back then saying you can control them and throwing maya under the bus. Those are contradictory.

This jack and andy conversation is interesting.

This marina conversation is funny but sad when you know the end of the episode.

Its so funny that so few people know about Miller's feelings at this point.

It'll be interesting to see the travis, vic and theo in season 5.

Ben and bailey are so cute.

Wish we couldve had conversations at the wedding with maya and her mom or carina and maya's mom or the 3 of them.

Inara is so wise. I hate this for all 4 of them.

Gotta love the ole grab em and pull em back to kiss them and let them know how you really feel tremmett moment.

Too late dean, they tried to tell you.

I love marina dancing in the background ugh sullivan and the surrera rehashing.

Time for the horrible news ugh.

Everyone just looking at marina and knowing is horrible.

Great season, great episode and im looking forward to whats next.

Thank you to everyone thats been following my rewatch blogging, and for all the kind comments. I appreciate it so much, made the summer so fun.

Baldwins Secret - part 11

Confused did not cover how Diana felt. She had deffinitely timewalked, but how on Earth was she in the same house?

"Diana" she heard Matthew, the scent of cloves following as he came closer to her

The clash of old and new was jarring, and it took moments for her to recollect herself "Matthew?" She asked bewildered

It was only when he called her Mon Coeur that she really took it in. As much as she could with big belly restrictions she threw her arms around his body and squeezed. God she missed him "im sorry" she sniffled lightly "i wont snack in the barn again"

He let out a breathy laugh "Im sorry for being overbearing" he bent his head to rest ontop of hers taking in every moment after weeks apart. Even if she did have a faint wiff of sandle leather.

"Hello Diana, its good to see you again" a thick accented woman called out to her, arm linked into Phoebes

Diana lifted her head from Matthews chest to look to her, taking in the strikingness of her features and brilliant copper hair "Boudicca?" She asked in a questionung tone

She smiled brightly, nodding "Ive waited a long time to see you again, Diana"

Her lip trembled thinking of the prospect of being able to see the children grown "Oh are you going to make me beg?" She let out a laugh through heavy tears "I never thought i would see you again"

Boudicca darted over to her in an instant not once caring she was now squishing Matthew and Diana with incredible strength "Oh God so much has happened!" She started "Augusta will be here soon too, she will be so excited!" She squealed like a child

Diana pulled back for a moment smiling brightly "What about my Cyrus and little Demetria?" She was hopefull to see her cheeky little boy again

Her face faltered for a moment "why dont you come sit? I will fetch father"

"No need, you can hear her heartbeat a mile off" Baldwin came stomping into the living space till he stopped abruptly, shocked look plastered on his face "What are you holding?" His voice was strained, hard to hear but he knew exactly what was folded up in her hands

"Antonia asked me to bring you some things" she chewed her lip nervously "I tried to insist it was not propper, but you know better then I to argue with your wife"

He wanted to laugh, chuckle at the thought of anyone disagreeing with Antonia but the thought just made him sad and he couldnt be sad infront of Matthew and Marcus "Very well. Give it to Boudicca"

Diana looked at the beautiful wedding dress bunched up in her hands confused. Antonia had insisted on giving her the dress she had worn for her wedding to Lucius and a note written with it. Surely after all this time he would want something of hers? "You dont want it? Why? What made you such a cold asshole?"

His expression momentarily cracked but was quickly rebuilt "you still owe me 100 sestertius and a beer"

She raised her brow at him, one foot out and hand on her hip "You cant escape me that easily Lucius" she looked him dead in the eyes "One way or another you are going to talk to me and you will take the dress and note"

Defiantly he folded his arms "How do you plan on forcing my hand? Sitting on me you fatty"

Matthew snarled "You care how you speak to her"

Diana brushed him off, he had not seen how their sibling bond and rivalry had grown over the past few weeks "Fatty?" She scoffed "I saw you in your prime of life Lucius, fit and packed full of muscle. You want to see fatty you best look in a mirror"

Marcus was holding back laughter and Baldwins jaw was slack in shock "You bitch!"

"The only bitch here is you, so either take the dress and note or i will revoke Rebecca visitation rights" she challenged him

He grumbled, shuffled on his spot and stalked over to her "give me the letter. I will read it in my own time but I have no use for a wedding dress" he squinted his eyes "because im too fat to fit into it"

She smiled and his face cracked a small smirk "Dont be so hard on yourself Lu" she laughed, reaching her hands out to give his sides a pinch that made him yelp in suprise "being curvy is alright"

Marcus was crying at this point

(responding to your tags bc it's interesting and i've been thinking about it a lately) andrew isn't necessarily less violent when medicated be he definitely follows through more when he's sober? and he gets distracted much more easily from being angry when he's medicated. in the first book he smacks neil with the exy racket, but it seems more like an impulse than planned, and then we see him threaten people twice (nicky and kevin) but not follow through, also on impulse, his plan to drug neil, which is carried out semi-sober, and that's about it. (he also threatens to hurt himself but doesn't follow through, impulse as well) after easthaven he pretty much immediately chokes allison and has to be bargained with to stop, punches matt, threatens katelyn, chokes kevin and has to be physically pulled off him before he stops, attempts to physically fight the fbi, nearly punches neil, and breaks rikos arm. idk i wouldn't say he's like, nonviolent on medication by any means but i think it did defang him in the way the court intended it to, for the most part. he does genuinely seem to lose interest in following through in the first part of the books, and he gains that focus back in the latter half. obv this isn't like, an ironclad theory and also it's possbile i'm missing smth bc this is off the top of my head, but i also think that as far as it cosmetically looking like it's making a difference it could just about pass muster for a parole officer who's making sure there haven't been any extra murders yet.

sorry this is super long i just have many thought thank u for ur time

oh my GOD do not apologize for sending me this i am so happy to see all your thoughts and i think its totally fascinating. i am 100% with you on the fact that sober andrew has more follow-through--hitting someone who hit someone else like...yesterday is a very pre-meditated, almost clinical sort of violence. there's no real emotion to it, it's just methodical punishment, and drugged andrew seems like he would respond at least less reliably with violence since the drugs would wash away his immediate emotional reaction by the time he ran into matt again.

so its more a matter of...is clinical violence more violent than impulsive violence? which is why i would want to actually like. collect all the incidents and compare them not just in number but severity. because of the nature of plot, a lot of really insane shit happens in late in the series when andrew is sober, versus many of the triggers for his violence when he's drugged are a lot less serious; nicky making an off-colour joke, kevin being pushy about exy. it's hard to directly compare that to like, someone andrew loves being kidnapped and presumably murdered. i couldnt confidently say if drugged andrew would react with less violence to that situation because drugged andrew never encounters a situation that serious (excepting drake, in which case its a) against himself, who he doesnt value as much as his family b) he's too physically injured to do much other than hold on to aaron).

(actually speculating about how drugged andrew might have responded to baltimore is an interesting puzzle--but then its begs the question of how neil and andrews relationship might have evolved if andrew was still drugged, since i personally hc that andrew isnt comfortable with engaging in sexual activity when he's high)

BASICALLY i could make a case for either side really, because its so ambiguous. i can kind of see how andrews sober, methodical and premeditated violence would be more frightening to people than the emotionally impulsive one-off incidents that happen when he's drugged, but the volatile nature of andrews moods when he's on his medications do not seem super safe either.

i think tho we can agree that andrews medications werent really about his own mental health--they were about controlling his behaviour. whether they worked or not...unclear. whether they were ethical or not? hell no.

ugh. next time i read the books im gonna have to use sticky notes to keep track of all the incidents. im gonna have a goddamn spreadsheet of andrew behaviours.
