*******NOT MY GIF, CREDIT TO OWNERS*******

I sniffle a bit more before I pull away and look at my friend. His face is soft with a hint of fear behind his eyes and I honestly can’t blame him, I probably sounded like I was getting murdered just now.

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t you dare apologize. You can’t control that, it’s not your fault,” He reaches his hand up towards my face but I flinch backwards. His eyes go wide for a second before slowly trying again, this time I don’t pull back and allow him to wipe away the tears from my face.

“I’m guessing these happen often?” His voice is quiet, as if speaking over a certain octave will trigger me again. I only nod. “Is it the same every time?”

“Not always. But a lot of the time.”

“You want to talk about it? I know it’s easier to talk about dreams and nightmares to allow your brain to discern reality from dream.”

I just look at him as he lets his hands fall from my face into his lap. I want to know why he knows this but I don’t want to pry or overstep at all, so I don’t ask. I scoot back on the couch and pull my knees to my chest, building a wall around me.

“They started about a year and a half ago,” Eddie shifts his position and listens intently to my words, “My ex had broken up with me a few months earlier and I got depressed one night and looked him up on Facebook, just to see if he updated it at all. It was a stupid thing to do.”

As I say this he places his hand on my ankle, just to let me know that it’s okay and he’s there for me. “As I searched his page I saw that he was in a relationship, I was a little hurt at how fast he had moved on but my curiosity was piqued now so I went to her page, but there wasn’t much there. She had a unique name so I went to Instagram to try and see if I could find anything else about her and subsequently, him.” 

I pause for a second to assess Eddie’s expression although it’s neutral, with no sign of emotion. I gulp a few times and he seems to notice this and grabs my tea from the table, handing it to me. 

“Thanks,” I take a sip before continuing, “So I found her account and it’s private so I can’t get any more info from it and was about to just give up and go to sleep when I noticed that in her bio it says she’s married and she tagged a profile. Same name as my ex and the date of the wedding, October 3rd.”

“So he got married to this other girl while in, where?”

“Indiana.”

“Right, but broke up with you two days later? So were you the person he was cheating with or the one he was cheating on?”

“That’s the question I’ve been trying to figure out since I found out about him being married.” I finish off my tea and reach to set it back down but Eddie takes it from me and heads to the kitchen.

“Okay. So these nightmares are about him cheating on you?”

I raise my eyebrows at his question, surprised that they aren’t, “Actually no. They’re about the moment I fell in love with him.” 

“What about the other name you kept saying, uh Sarah?”

“Right, her. Well she was the first person I ‘got with’ after Quinton and she was in college I was still in high school, she was so cool and experienced and I just wanted to get it over with.”

“Get what over with?” I cringe at the fact that he’s going to make me say it so I instead just look at him like, come on you know. He finally gets it, “Oh.”

He sits there for a minute thinking before he face shows confusion, “But wait, didn’t you say you were virgin, like you’ve never even made out with anyone?”

“Yeah I did. Because I didn’t want to do those things with her. I mean past me thought they did but afterwards I felt, violated in a way. I don’t know, I just don’t think that I was really ready I just wanted to be like everyone else. I wanted to feel normal for once.” I don’t say anything else after that, the memories being too much to handle especially after reliving them in the worst way ever.

“I get that, is there anything I can do to help? I mean like do you want more tea or some water?”

“I honestly don’t know. I don’t normally get them around others, at least not that they notice.” My roommates all wear headphones to sleep and I never stay with Jamie for more than a few days and even then I haven’t had one this bad in a while. Honestly since December.

“What does- or shit did Jamie do to help you through them?” He has two water bottles in his hand as he sits back down in front of me, opening one and handing it to me. As I accept and take a sip he opens his and downs about ⅓ of it in one go. 

“Well to be honest, I never really had nightmares around them. We’d sleep in a small bed and so we were forced to cuddle and I guess just knowing that they were there and they weren’t him I wasn’t susceptible to the nightmares.”

“What about your friends and roommates?”

I shake my head, “Even with them if I did have one it wasn’t like this, I would just wake up maybe in paralysis but it’d stop in a minute or two, I haven’t woken another person with it before. Sorry”

“Shut-” He takes a deep breath before continuing, “You don’t have to aplogize, you don’t do it on purpose, plus I shouldn’t sleep on the couch anymore than I already do,” He rubs the back of his neck.

“Thanks for being concerned about me but you should sleep, I’ll be fine out here.”

“Or you could,” He averts his gaze, looking out onto the water, “You could sleep in my bed. With me.”

My eyes go wide. Is Eddie seriously offering for me to sleep in his bed…with him! Clearly just as friends but still… “I, uh,”

“It just seems like you sleep better knowing someone is there with you. Like the nightmares are nonexistent. I was just offering because I care about you and don’t want you to scream bloody murder again.” He’s rambling and it’s cute.

“Eddie,” I rest my hand on his, the one resting on his thigh, “It’s okay. I’m fine on the couch, plus I’m going home tomorrow so it’s only a few more hours.”

“But what if you have another one? I can’t get to you as quickly.”

“Because it’s not your job to help me through them, I’ve lived with them on my own for this long. One more night won’t kill me.”

“It could,” He mumbles. I pick up a nearby pillow and hit him with it.

I roll my eyes at him, “I’m fine, go to sleep.”

“Not unless you join me,” He defiantly crosses his arms.

“Ugh you are impossible you know that?” I say tossing the blanket I had over my legs off to the side.

“I do, my uncle tells me that every day,” He follows me as we head to his bedroom around the corner.

instead.

shuri.u x black reader

summary: y/n, still being in her tense and dysfunctional relationship, is having problems trying to emotionally reach her boyfriend of 3 years. shuri, who’s always been there for her during the trials and tribulations of the relationship, still can’t deny her feelings for the woman after all this time, but she chose loyalty over her own personal pleasures. what happens when y/n can’t take anymore?

warnings include: cursing, aave, n-word use, weed, fluff, major angst, readers bi, arguing, readers a bit of a crybaby, protective shuri

a/n: lmk if u guys are rlly interested in this!! the more i stare at it the worse it gets to me so i decided to post it😭

prologue.

“i’m not tryna hear this fuck shit right now y/n, i already told you it’s not like that!” you both had decided to go to the club, well not decided, more like your boyfriend, quinton, forced you to go. you really had rather you stayed in your apartment, in your room, where it was quiet. you were normally one known for the party scene, but this time, for some reason. . you weren’t feeling it. you wished you had listened to your gut, but being the pleasing girlfriend you were, you sucked it up. and now here you both were, arguing, again.

“fuck shit?! nigga you were the one who letting her grind all up on you and shit!” you yelled back. were you mad? yes. were you surprised? no. not that you liked it, but it wasn’t an unoriginal sight to see your boyfriend letting someone dance on him. you couldn’t really say much, you would’ve danced on a person or two but you never let it go to the extreme, and most of the time it was your friends. you had just happened to look over at him tonight and see what was going on, what had been going on, and you decided enough was enough.

“we was just dancin’?! i don’t see what the problem is?!” he threw his arms up in confusion and let them plop back to his sides. you chuckled in disbelief, did he think you were stupid?

“dancing? shit from where i was standing y’all might as well have been dry humping each other..”

“whatchu’ tryna say y/n?”

“what the fuck you think i’m tryna’ say?” you retort. quinton shakes his head and walks into your bedroom, mumbling about ‘not having to deal with this shit’ and shuts the door behind him.

instead.

you laid on your side, your back to quinton as you stared blankly at the wall. quinton was laying on his back, phone in the air, just above his face, making sure to keep his brightness all the way down. every once and a while he would smile and bite his lip, but you wouldn’t see it.

when he finally put his phone down, he looked over at you, your back still facing him. he sighed in a little annoyance and turned over to wrap his arm around your waist. “you still mad?” he asks lowly. you don’t respond.

“c’mon bae.. i didn’t mean anything by it” he tries again. you still didn’t reply, only sinking your face deeper into your pillow. he finally gives up, shifting from underneath you and removing his arm from your side to resume his place on his back. he hears a faint vibrate from his phone and reaches for it.

this time he lets a light chuckle escape his lips.

your mind started to wander, thoughts started to form. if you caught him doing this, could he have been doing more? is he doing more? the more you laid there, the worse they got. you couldn’t take anymore.

you quickly sat up from the bed, startling your boyfriend in the process. “babe?” he called, quickly shutting off his phone. you still didn’t answer to him and just began putting on clothes and packing a night bag. that got his attention even more.

he threw the cover off his torso and hopped off the bed. he went over to you and grabbed your wrists to stop your swift movements. “w-..where are you going?” he stuttered.

“i’m going to a friends house. i’ll be back.” was all you had said after you snatched your arm out of his grip

“back? back when? tomorrow?” he inquired, following you into the bathroom as you began to grab your toiletries.

“whenever i feel like coming back” you replied, a snarky attitude laced in your words.

you stuffed the last bit of belongings into your bag, zipping it up and throwing it over your shoulder. quinton watched in shock as you slid on your crocs and grabbed your car keys off the dresser.

you didn’t say anything before you left, only sound from you was the jingling of your keys and the slam of the door as you walked out, leaving quinton on his own for the night.

instead.

as you drive down the road you could only think, there’s only one person who was able to help you, make you feel better, can comfort you best, who knew you better than anyone did. who was one of the main people to tell you not to get with your boyfriend. and god, you should’ve listened. you searched up her name on your contacts and clicked the call button.

the line rung about 3 times before someone answered, “hello?”

“hey shuri. . . do you think you can leave the door unlocked for me?”

[ladybugsimblr]

simshaderoom Good Morning! Just dropping off some interesting pictures we received in the DMs. Looks like there was a confrontation between #Bailey Kay her husband #Quinton and #Dizzy at 55 Degrees yesterday. We don’t know what was said but we can tell it wasn’t a friendly conversation. Stay tuned.

view all 16,103 comments

dizzydes I was just trying to clear the air before lawyers got involved, but as you can see the Queen B and her bully wanna be gangsta husband were not trying to listen. I was threatened and feared for my life so I chose to walk away before it escalated further. I’ll see them in court instead.

rubberbandshan Wooow! So what you’re saying is you interrupted their date with foolishness I’m sure. Bailey and Quinton wanted all the smoke. You realized you were about to get dead and ran away. Copy. Next.

kingb This is the visual definition of fucked around and found out 😂. Q should’ve mushed him with one finger to the forehead like Ghost did Tasha. Sir, please don’t try that again.

realisticrachel That’s assault so no. Grown adults can’t be fighting and arguing in public. Sad.

anon I like Dizzy but I still would want to see a fight lol. Also cameraman had one job. We needed video and audio. Who only takes pics in a situation like this?

bflyhive Absolutely NOT!! Please leave BK alone. She has more important things to worry about like her tour outfits. Anyone who stands in the way of me and the Hive pit will catch these hands.

bkstan AND FEET! When do we ride for the Queen? I stay ready.

B&QForever Oh Dizzy. You tried and failed miserably. She don't want you. Get over it. I'm riding in the front seat. Ready!

killabutterflies Just say the word B. We got you!

c.spiracy I've studied these images and I keep coming back to Dizzy and his fists. I don't condone violence but I too would ride for the Queen. Give us a sign BK.

rubberbandshan Not gonna lie. I'm riding too. Waiting for the Butterfly signal! 🦋

[echosoftheflower]

My unedited thoughts while reading the new chapter of IBVS, sorry if it's illegible.

SPOILERS FOR S2 CHAPTER 11

Has he just been summoning these things with out a book? Is he going off memory? It's would be so funny if this moron was a witchcraft prodigy

Who just randomly talks about this in school?

I feel bad for Isaac being worried about Drew telling his secrets but he's honestly being kinda unreasonable with this ignoring Drew.

Bro are they the only two at the table 💀 just move to the opposite side of another outcast table why take up the whole thing.

CHRIS FUVKING WOULD WITH HIS FOLLOWER MENTALITY

But Chris really isn't new? He came there in the fall. Does this school not have freshmen? (Recurring question)

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING! WHY IS THE ART ROOM STILL SCREWED 

It's nice to know Isaac was in a club but I do wish he talked with the other art students. Also, there are other art students!

Poor Isaac with his trauma from Chris ditching him.

God damn it Chris! Ok I need to talk about this.

Very quick summary of an analysis I'm planning on making of this man but he has like, chronic follower mentality. He will just listen to anyone who seems to have power. He joined Ed when asked because he's the king, he drifted towards Nevin because of his confidence, and now he's with Felix who has something to offer him. This stems as far back as Dylan's group, who were the trouble makers, and Freddie who was the popular kid. The only person who he was ever friends with who doesn't fall into one of these categories is Isaac, and we all see how he treats him. 

He didn't think twice? Aren't you friends with him?! Didn't you trust him at the start?! HES LITERAL DONE NOTHING TO YOU EVER?! YOUR LIKE THE ONLY ONE HES NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH!

didn't Isaac also tell him Felix almost killed him and the school almost sent him to the hospital after the fear demon fight? Is this Chris, once again ignoring everything Isaac says? This is like the "id rather skip class than believe the king would beat you up" all over again.

Man I can't believe Felix can remember all those food namesvand things.

The demon book is written by the Wolfe family? Volume 1?

Why does Barry just keep randomly appearing like this? And in full camo? Him and Ed really are similar. For whatever reason I get a bad feeling about him.

How does Drew keep turning into everyone's therapist, as much as I like Autumn and Issac I wish we could see them interact with Drew and actually look like they enjoy their time together.

Barry you are so strange

YEAS MY GENETIC THEORY

ROSE RIPPLE THEORY

It kinda bothers me he only ends up with Ed after he has no one else. But isward crumbs all the same

Aw he's so bored

Again?! These woods have seen things.

Aw he actually wants to hang out with him

"Learn to ask" Ok Edward "drags you into a closet" Quinton 

YES bringing up the two power thing! 

He's other power is definitely part of Sigma

Isaac backstory! Kinda sounds horrific.

YES EVEN THE ADRENALINE PART

it's the tree! :D

And that log would be Chris!

He shut down his huntch 😭

Still Purple huh? Gotta mean something.

FINALLY! CHARACTERS ACTUALLY GETTING ALONG!

he smiles so much in this scene :D

MONIKA AGAIN??

[aihoshiino]

The way i fking SCREAMED MY HEAD OFF when we got these reveals, we saw it coming but still, it feels SO GOOD to know how many of our theories were already correct…but i still wonder about so many things like were the twins born already when they were seeing each other??? This means in a way they likely got in bed several times since the twins were already a year old or so when Uehara & Airi died… If so, what did he ever think of his children, shock? sad? betrayed?…Why never meet them? What about the hospital visit?

And Ryosuke?? Surely Hikaru can't just convince a university kid to join him in meeting his idol of dreams…and even if, why bring HIM along? And Yura? Would Ai really have met him when she had the twins? I feel like the latter is unlikely…is it timelines issue again here? But that can't it be if this movie is from Ai's pov…arrghh MY HEAD

One thing feels certain tho, he couldn't have killed Ai out of revenge…or rather, not only revenge at least. It's also good to see the theory Ai coerced Hikaru to get in bed with her is finally wrong. MAN IM SO READY FOR THE DVD REVEAL NEXT CHAPTER AFTER SO FKING LONG. I NEED AI'S POV LIKE OXYGEN P.S. The way she was smiling when saying "let's not see each other anymore" and while BRUSHING HER TEETH OF ALL THINGS…GIRL

so this is easily the stupidest connection my brain could have made but. when i saw that panel of ai with her toothbrush, i immediately thought of that one fucking channel awesome anniversary movie - or rather, the quinton reviews video about it and in it, there's a moment where doug walker (playing himself, in this masturbatory metatextual sense) has this fictionalized version of himself enter the movie by walking into the living room in the middle of the day while brushing his teeth. and for some reason. ai choosing to break up with her boyfriend while brushing hers had the exact same energy to me.

honestly i was barkin like a dog this whole chapter. i have been wildly oscillating between 'it's so over' and 'we're so back' re: OnK since the Movie Arc started in earnest but seeing how consistently I have been able to nail things about Ai and Hikaru just based on what I could glean from the material in the manga does make me a lot more hopeful for what's to come. Deadass this is the most energized and legit excited I've been coming out of a cliffhanger for a good while.

There's definitely still a lot of really wtf stuff floating in the air and a ton of unanswered questions but I'm pretty confident we'll be getting at least a reasonably solid confirmation of the timeline next chapter depending on how their chat about the breakup goes and from there we can start guessing at other parts of the story, if we don't just end up getting the reveals next week.

Honestly at this point I'm most antsy to see someone mention Yura........ is she still on that mountain or what.........

[honeybunniii333]

Isaac with please don’t leave me seems fun seeing as he has issues keeping friends

Oooo this will be fun. This one is a lot shorter, and I'm making it Isward, whether that's platonic or romantic is up for interpretation. ^^ //

"Please don't leave me..." he croaked out despite himself, despite knowing how stupid and useless it was to beg. He'd done it again. He'd pushed too far, been too mean, and now he was being left all over again. He'd pushed so far, said something so mean he'd made Edward fucking Quinton of all people cry... and even after he hurt him he was still hurting him. Digging his nails into the taller boys arms as he begged him to not leave. He didn't mean to be like this, to be so full of venom. And yet he could never seem to stop himself from lashing out... from chasing people away.

"Please... please, I..." he choked out and was startled when he found his face being pressed into warmth. Ed's arms were around him, holding him close. So gentle despite how easily they could crush him. So soft despite how hard they could squeeze, so warm... despite the coldness he deserved. "I'm not going anywhere, Nerd." it came out hoarse in a way that only happened when someone held tears in. "As if you could get rid of me that easily." he snorted, his chest rumbling slightly with the noise. "You...are...so dumb.." he found himself wheezing out as his eyes welled up with more tears. "Yeah... I know." The taller hummed, and for once, Isaac didn't end up alone...

[qblester]

ooc compliments hour: Quinton is like a buuuug to me. he just scuttles around my dash and sometimes when you lean in close you just hear this bug screech for help and company but only in the most twisted of ways that the message gets lost along the way. I do love the complexities that u put in him and his story and his background. he's soooo something. Ive never seen a character like him and I dont think I ever will and Im glad he's around on my dash.

have a good day <3

// i did not even reblog that im too reserved for this kind of thing most of the time so this is nice :)

I am not trying to be self aggrandizing but i do think the balance of a character like this is difficult and thats why you dont see it a lot. theres a really really particular mix of traits and expressions of those traits. I also have. Niche interests I don't think many others share to the degree of 'making a character exploring these things'.

like I'm deeply fascinated by social dynamics of the internet and lolcows. The entire concept and the way it cannot be fixed without like. killing all Mean people i guess, or removing all mentally ill off of the internet. is incredible. its such a gordian knot concept. So I love basically Making one and seeing how people react when reminded of genuine hardship he's gone through. It does help that many people are very much against the concept but will indulge immediately when given a faux version

That all is part of why his life Gets worse over and over. Once i'm more interested in writing again he's going to get slowly worse until he admits krissa is dead while hopefully being mocked for a seperate thing. His hope being to use that to make the other person feel bad. Because he is a bad person.

I dont really know why i wrote all of this I guess i assumed if you care enough to write an ask that you would like to read some thoughts about what you wrote. I dont know how to respond to these things. Okay bye.

[eternitas]

So by now a good chunk of people have watched @quinton-reviews Video series (or as he calls it :'Mini series' lol) discussing Fred, iCarly, Victorious and now Sam and Cat.

One thing that just wouldnt let go of me (and I also made a comment on that) was a moment in iCarly he talked about in which Sam and Freddy as a couple have to deal with Freddies mum trying to seperate them. It all goes so far that Freddie finds out that Sam manipulated his application to a summer camp so he would be rejected.

I wont go into much more detail but lets say that Sams reason is not fully... Understandable here.

Now mind you I have only wwtched quintons review and never seen that particular episode myself, but their "fight" really bothered me because it seemed like a completely botched moment where they could've inserted a real character moment.

So. Here is my 5 minute first draft of "how it couldve gone" in scipt form

DISCLAIMER: I do not have a proper grasp on these characters so its likey that this is very out of character. But then again, the writers didn't do them that well either so-

[Scene: Sam and Freddy are upatairs in the iCarly studio, having an argument after Freddie found out that Sam is responsible for him not being accepted to the summer camp. They are alone in the room]

F: I want to know WHY sam!

S: because-- i was mad at you

F: for what?

S: remember when I asked you for the time and--

F: that can't be the reason.

S: it is!

F: Sam, tell me the truth right now or I am leaving!

S: no wait! Wait, please don't go-

F: ...

[Freddy is taken aback by her sudden display of panick and it knocks him out of his own anger. He becomes soft]

F: Sam. Please tell me why you did that. I want to understand.

S: because--- i don't want you to go.

F: but WHY

S: because I need you.

F: need me how?

S: I dont know! It's... Easier with you. Everything is. Like it is with Carly but different. You make things better.

[She sits down defeated and lets her head hang. Freddy hesitates then sits down next to her]

F: Like Carly?

S: yeah but differently. She makes things less awful and problems less.... Bad. She gives me a place I can call home. And you're giving me something like that.

F: being with me grounds you

S: yeah that.

F: ...

S: Please don't leave me.

[ Sam tears up and her voice breaks. Freddy pulls her close so she can lean onto him]

F: I'm still mad. I get now why you did that, but that doesnt mean that I will just forgive you and forget this. I really wanted to get into that summercamp.

S: I know.

F: It's not just a camp I really want to go to. I'd get some space from my mum.

[Sam sits up and faces Freddy with realisation.]

F: I could've had a summer without her constantly being around me. Not that she wouldn't try to still visit and call all the time. But that's not an option anymore.

S: I--- I didn't know.

F: yeah. why didn't you talk to me?

S: because! ... I didn't want you to see me as clingy. we weren't dating and I didn't want you to know what you mean to me.

F: but if we cant talk to each other then maybe we don't even have a friendship we can rely on!

[It grows quiet and freedy stands up. Sam tries to reach for him to sit back down but he manages to escape her.]

F: I'll go get Carly for you.

S: Freddy.

F: You seem to have no trouble talking to her.

S: Freddy!

[Carly comes in and stops in her tracks looking from freddy to sam and back]

F: I'll be going.

C: Freddy-

F: I'll text you. Take care of Sam.

[Freddy leaves without being stopped and Sam tears up again before anger gets to her and she starts to become violent in frustration.]

C: Sam! stop it!

[Carly manages to wrangle Sam away from her destruction and hugs her while Sam breaks into sobs and clings to Carly.

Black]

----

And then we get a full second episode of sam and freddie being awkward with each other and trying to mend their relationship.

[therichantsim]

Break and Future for Isaiah, Octavia and Quinton. Please and thank you.

Oh snap these are delicious!

break: What would cause your OC to break down completely? What do they look like when that happens? Has anyone ever seen them at their lowest?

Isaiah: No one has ever seen him at his lowest. Not even Octavia, but I don't think he is a person who loses control not after having done so (taking a man's life) and seeing what it cost him.

Octavia: For her to break down would be to lose Isaiah suddenly. I think it would be a slow unraveling. She'd try to be strong initially but I think over time she'd ruminate about all the plans they've made etc. Octavia has had the good fortune of not hitting her lowest thank the watcher. 👀

Quinton: I think we all remember Quinton's breakdown on the floor staring down the bottom of an empty Jack Daniels whiskey bottle. While talking to his dead wife in an urn. Other than us the only person who saw that was Big Daddy.

future for all 3 below

future: What's the worst possible future for your OC? Are they taking steps to avoid that outcome? Are they even aware it's a possibility?

Isaiah: The return of his supposedly dead evil twin Bishop. How can you avoid a person who is supposed to be dead? They are not aware of the fact that this man is alive and well somewhere not too far from a woman named Mercy. lol

Octavia: Stay tuned...👀👀

Quinton: ((shrugs shoulders)) I guess the worst could be a repeat of the past?? I'm not that cruel though. I haven't thought too far beyond getting him hitched again tbh.

[edalynn]

We've been pointing out for a while that Willow only showed interest in Hunter after he saved her life, and I just came across something else that's exactly like it and that put it very well-

So, I'm watching Quinton Reviews's video on iCarly (never watched the show, just wanted a long video to listen to).

Freddie has had a crush on Carly since the pilot, and in a season 3 episode he saves her from a food truck and they start going out. Sam points out that Carly only started liking Freddie after he saved her life, and compares it to how a boy she hated subscribed her to a bacon of the month program, and she then decided she was in love with him - she didn't actually love him, she just liked the bacon that came with him.

Freddie feels that Carly just loves what he did for her, but isn't *in love* with him. He says they should take a break until he recovers from his injuries (and everyone forgets what he did) and see if they still feel the same way, and if they do, they can start dating again. They never do, even though Freddie has fully recovered by the next episode.

THIS. This is H/L in FtF to a tee. If they were meant to be "romantic", then this is exactly how it reads. Willow thought she was in love with Hunter, but in reality she just loved what he did for her. Though I feel like she'd realize it without needing to date him first.

YES. Yes!! This is EXACTLY how it feels! It's been so long since I watched iCarly, I totally forgot about this lmao. But that is to a T what that entire scene in FtF felt like to me. I hadn't been able to put it into exact words other than saying it gave off the vibes that she "loved" him for saving her, but didn't actually like him romantically, and that episode is definitely what my brain was trying to pull from, but couldn't remember completely. It's just literally the same situation. The fact that she showed no interest in him at all other than sort of friends until he saved her life. That's... not romantic. That's feeling admiration that the person saved your life, not actual, genuine love of the person that did it. And knowing Willow, she'd definitely recognize that before getting into an actual relationship with Hunter.

How does being a driver work. Are you on call or something? Mr. PB probably wakes up at 6 to bark and then maybe wants to take a walk? So you would drive him to a park. I don't remember what it's like to have a dog that can go outside sorry. Is THAT the joke? No because it was easier to socialize dogs before 2020, which is when Bojack Horseman.

What I was getting at is if you drive him to the park to take his morning business, and then he wants lunch, then he has an appointment at 2, that's 6 hours. But then you wouldn't have a dinner date until 8 but you'd be out until 2 AM that THAT is when you would ACTUALLY want a driver. And then do it all again in the morning.

And you need a driver on Saturday as well.

A normal person with a driver should be respectful of the driver and just have them work morning to late afternoon and cook dinner at home, but I'm more imagining an old lady. Mr. PB is like a rock star, so he doesn't cook dinner at home, I mean I'm not saying he takes Diane out every night but.

Yeah, maybe Todd could get used to working 6 hours in the morning, having 4 hours of freetime, and then working until 2, but he wouldn't like it. And I know he's not driving for a solid 6 hours but it's not like he can drop Mr. PB off to get lunch with a producer, and then drive back to Bojack's place. Because it's LA and lunch only lasts 2 hours.

BUT, Todd could sit in the car and play Pokemon, or watch movies on his phone, or of course, write a Rock Opera on a legal pad. Or, get lunch across the street with a friend? He rarely drives Bojack around but they live together. Mr. PB wasn't his friend until they became friends from Todd working.

Todd is also getting coffee for him, and I also don't know how assistants work. An assistant, I could see working from 8 to 2, or more like 8-8. And it's not like Todd doesn't want to get a big break... As a writer. But he does, he gets to work with Quinton Tarantulino, and, of course, after he and Mr. PB become friends, he works with him PB Livin'.

The driver thing might have been a device to make Todd and PB become friends without Bojack there, that you're not supposed to think about it. And I'm not saying Mr. PB would be stiffing Todd, I'm saying what is the right price for driving a crazy maniac around?

I know Mr. PB doesn't always stay out all night, and when he did Diane was unhappy and they stole the D. And it's not like he couldn't call an Uber Black or something. Why didn't he do that to begin with? Probably he likes his car, or was trying to meet someone, or maybe it was a "device" that Princess Caroline set up or something.

Teachers Chapter 56

AO3

Their family is just as excited. Maggie requests a lass, Lamb suggests ‘ that the baby be named after me’, Jenny offers to babysit ‘ anytime ‘, Ian pats Jamie’s back ‘ your life will never be the same but it will be glorious, his da simply hugs him, while Wee Ian grins, ‘poor James.’

 

Four months later and they are going for a sonogram to try to see the sex.

 

James, eight months old, has no idea what is going on. He just knows his mama’s lap is shrinking and his family is happy. He rests against his daddy’s chest as his parents look at the strange screen.

 

“There is the baby’s head,” The doctor says, “little hand. Let’s see, oh there,” She turns to the family, “Can you tell?”

 

“Is that his…”

 

A smile. “Aye. A lad. Measuring where he should be, actually a bit over. He is big “

 

Claire is laughing and crying. “Takes after his daddy.”

 

“James look. That is your brother!”

 

The little boy claps, reacting to their excitement.

 

Everyone looks at them when they return home. Jamie grinning tells them, “Quinton Brian Henry. He is a chunk.”

 

A cheer rises. Maggie is the only one frowning.

 

“Don’t fret, lass. We will try again.” Claire gives him a look, “Ah maybe.”

Public Eye - Well - There Was This Girl, You See… (Season 5 Episode 2; 14 July 1971)

Although A Mug Named Frank ended with Frank Marker (Alfred Burke) still in his Brighton office telling Helen Mortimer of his plans to move to Windsor, there aren't any establishing scenes here of Marker moving into his new office, instead, the episode begins with him clearly having been there for at least a short time (accompanied by new opening titles featuring Marker walking through local alleyways), but this allows the plot to start quickly here. As Marker tells Nell Holdsworth (Brenda Cavendish), business has been slow so far and he's short of the essentials too, as shown in the numerous scenes throughout this episode where he prepares to make coffee only to find the tin is empty.

Mary Freeman (Susan Brodrick) enters Marker's office and tells him about a stolen necklace for which a reward is being offered for it's recovery, offering him 50% of the reward. She suspects her ex-boyfriend, John Sheldon (Michael Pennington) is behind the theft and seems eager to get him in trouble because of the manner of their break-up. Marker suspects she has a grudge against him and wonders why she doesn't go to the police but Mary says she is afraid of John.

Marker treads cautiously because it was another situation involving stolen jewellery for which he was imprisoned. After he visits solicitor Quinton (Geoffrey Wincott), DI Firbank (Ray Smith) visits Marker's office, suspicious of his involvement as he knows just what Marker had been imprisoned for (this leads to Marker essentially recapping the events of Cross That Palm When We Come to It, the missing 3rd season finale dealing with his eventual imprisonment) and feels Marker is hiding something about the case from him.

Marker and Firbank also investigate Sheldon, who definitely seems suspicious, but does he really have the stolen necklace? And will Marker be forced to tell DI Firbank absolutely everything he knows?

Written by Philip Broadley (the first of 7 scripts he wrote for Public Eye), this is a very interesting episode with a complex but utterly gripping plot. Marker investigating another stolen jewellery case provides an interesting sense of jeopardy particularly in the face of DI Firbank's suspicions and it's understandable he'd be careful to avoid getting into trouble again.

Having appeared in the previous episode, the increasingly interesting DI Firbank continues to impress, thanks in large part to Ray Smith's excellent performance which is pretty much equal to that of Alfred Burke's always reliably excellent performance as Marker. There are also several really good scenes featuring Marker and DI Firbank together with Burke and Smith on top form during these scenes.

Michael Pennington is also good as John Sheldon, who is angry at Marker and Firbank's investigation but manages to regain composure to avoid being provoked, also frequently being rather smug and calm. His description of Marker, revealing his low opinion of him is amusing: "the snake in snake's clothing". Susan Brodrick also impresses as Mary Freeman who seems determined for Marker to ensure Sheldon goes down for the theft and is convincingly vengeful, which makes the eventual twist about the truth of her and John's relationship even more surprising.

The direction by James Goddard (one of Public Eye's best directors in my opinion) is absolutely superb with several good location scenes and a true sense of suspense in the scenes where Marker investigates the flat of James Walker (Paul Harper), Sheldon's apparent partner in crime where it truly feels like Marker could be caught if he returns unexpectedly.

Another well directed scene comes during DI Firbank's search of Sheldon's apartment where Firbank notices Sheldon carefully moving a box from an upper shelf to a lower shelf in the mirror and then goes to open it despite Sheldon's protests. Firbank, clearly expecting to find the necklace is less than amused to find when opened it's a music box.

After all the upheaval of the previous episodes focused on Marker's attempts to return to normal after his release from prison and find a new permanent office, this episode essentially is a final return to business as normal for Public Eye. And it's an excellent return to normality with the script, performances and direction all of a very high standard, a superb episode.

Raisa sucked in a quick breath as Quinton swept her into his arms, only to gently lie her on her back. He was a dozen contradictions, defy what you see versus what you get, just like she did, and Raz felt a rush of excitement spark low in her belly at the thought. It was a strange version of like calls to like. Sharp nails skimmed down the center of his chest as Raisa took him in above, the red light casting half of him in shadow. Gods, just the sight of him above her made Raz wet all over again, her hips shimmying against the sheets.

Quinton placed a knee on the bed and leaned over her turning his head to catch her lips, he pressed on hand to her back and the other cupped her cheek. He skimmed his hand up her back trailing along the zipper. Slowly, he moved his lips to her neck, brushing her hair back. Without warning he tipped her back, scooping her off her knees with an arm around her thighs and the other supporting her back. In a strong move he laid her down on the bed and moved over top of her like a prowling tiger. Though he was still aroused, on edge, he wanted to make her quiver.

Female General Zenobia

I was enjoying my day with Miyako, Fluttershy and Quinton Jr. Thanksgiving was now only one day away and I was looking forward to seeing my dad and his family. Just then, I heard the doorbell ring. I rushed to the front door to see who it was. It was my dad and his family. My friends and I immediately welcomed them in and helped them get settled. Just then, Dr. Yumeno contacted me. According to him, Electric Eel was attacking Yumeno Invention Laboratory. I immediately rounded up my friends and we headed to the lab to fight Electric Eel. When we got there, we saw a female general with Electric Eel. This was Jashinka’s new member, Zenobia, who had gained permission to control Electric Eel. Together, they nearly reached Dyna Station, but Dr. Yumeno ejected both of them out before they could get there. My friends, the Dynamen and I started launching multiple attacks on Electric Eel, with me using Earthquake on him. The Dynamen then finished him off with their New Super Dynamite, but surprise, General Kar used the Big Bang Beam on him. My fellow Powerpuffs and I unleashed our monster forms, while the Dynamen summoned their mecha and combined them into Dyna Robo. I proceeded to use Fissure on Electric Eel, taking him out with only one hit. Dyna Robo then finished him off with its Lightning Gravity Fall. We all figured that we would have to get used to Zenobia, so we all decided to train in order to prepare for whenever she struck again. For the rest of the day, we all kept an eye out for the Jashinka Empire’s next Mechaevolution Beast.
