My favorite funny thing on occasion is to imagine sugar baby/daddy dynamics with Tails ships

Something so comical about the fact that Sonic the hedgehog (hedgehog without a home) would be sugar baby to Tails (fox who has so many labs. Like who needs to worry about money when your little buddy pays for stuff heroing doesn't and keeps his bases fully stocked with ingredients for your favorite food

Or like, Tails, who basically ended up being Sonic's sugar daddy, accidentally gaining more sugar babies by virtue of making sure certain characters don't inconvenience people (basically playing damage control)

While I think it's Rouge mainly who would probably suppliment the money for Omega and Shadow (if need be) and play this sort of role for them, it's still funny to imagine Tails insisting on setting them up in hotel rooms because Shadow was just about to sleep outside and saw no problem with that (and because Tails can't very well just let Shadow do that)

A friend of mine also moved that, under this framework, after the idw issues where the Chaotix took a job helping Knuckles get an artifact back, Tails would just silently patch them rent money as an apology for the whole thing.

Rich inventor Tails accidentally gaining bfs out of the main cast as his sugar babies because he's assumed responsibility for their antics and cares about them too much to just let them live life the way they have been. Do you see my vision?

Birthday Venus-Saturn aspects ~ "Your Daddy Loves You..."

Written by Astrolocherry

Venus conjunct Saturn, Venus sextile Saturn, Venus square Saturn, Venus trine Saturn, Venus opposite Saturn

The individual born with Venus forming aspect to Saturn is gifted a double-banded commitment ring from Saturn. Therein contains a promise that while partnership may be potentially timeworn and difficult to find in this lifetime, when the love eventually comes it will be greater than anything she could have imagined. She may have distant fantasies or longings about her ideal partner, but never completely entertains these as actual possibilities, often due to an inherent sense of worthlessness or being undeserving with matters of the heart. Something happens during the developmental phase of life that breaks this heart before it has fully formed. It is sensitive, scarred, and often bandaged in the protective defences that cut her off from accepting the affection and attention that she can’t admit is much needed. In traditional astrology, Venus is the portion of our consciousness that beholds our eye of beauty, femininity, aesthetic, and style. The shadow of Saturn leering over Venus often produces an apathy and at worst, a revulsion regarding her own self-image of beauty. 

Despite feeling so disconnected and detached from her feminine side, the individual with a Venus-Saturn aspect is divinely feminine in its most timeless, antiqued, resiliently elegant, and everlasting archetypal form. It is a lifelong reunion between the inner Fairy Godmother, and the little girl inside who is enslaved to those leftover feelings of being defective, unattractive, and impossible to love. It is until this reunion occurs, or in the worst case scenarios when the inner work has been left incomplete and it never happens at all, that the individual experiences the traditional Venus-Saturn suffering in love that we would expect. These conditions may result in a choice of relationship partners and dynamics that reflect and play-out the sentiments of the little girl inside rather than the woman, and may involve themes of relegation, power imbalances, mistreatment, and re-casting father figures. There may also be some form of self-imposed entrapment in relationships, something inside that stops her from walking out an open door.

The traditional Venus-Saturn age-gap in love and attraction to older people may be one relationship theme that prevails through life. However, as she grows older and wiser, she will often come to recognise this attraction being shaped by different needs and desires that are more authentic and ultimately satisfying. As she becomes less beheld to old conditions, the need is less for paternal fulfilment and redemption . This could be a young soul or an old soul - her attraction to older people has never been about that. It’s rather about a depth that this heart possesses, a serene, dewy, alluringly tragic wisdom and insight that is decades older than its years, searching for somebody who could possibly understand this, at times confusing age for inner experience.

With her poised and intriguing interactive style, she is often readily complimented and admired by friends, colleagues, superiors, and strangers alike. And while she hears the sentiments quite clearly, she barely absorbs a word. She appreciates the genuineness, but she cannot feel a thing, and she won’t until that girl is back in the arms of the Enchanted Elder inside. Breaking their spell of separation repairs her broken heart. She slowly embraces her femininity, and a pageant of Feminine Priestesses embrace her back, and once she starts seeing and styling herself in this way - the real show of Who She is really begins. This is also often when the first chapters of life’s true love story only just begin. A growing comfort and confidence, a silver Saturn glow that may have seen its shadows, yet there blooms a Venus rose that is everlasting and can never die without sunlight.

Round 5 - Catholic Character Tournament

Jason art credit @Reincao

Propaganda below ⬇️

Jason

Okay it's cannon but like in an alternative universe because Comics. I just think the fact DC made Known Murderer and Reblious Teen with Daddy Issues a Catholic priest in a different universe. Just. Casually.

Jason Todd is may or may not be Catholic in the main timeline of DC Comics, but I the Flashpoint storyline, my man is a priest! He was a drug addict, thief, and in the Blood Brother cult before dying, only to come back to life and decide to become a priest in the hellhole that is Gotham. In the main timeline, he comes back after dying and stuffs a duffel bags full of heads! The common trait before all Jason Todds is that they all have to be as dramatic as possible. Dying and coming back as the most unexpected thing. Unbelievable. I love this man.

Shadow

In sonic destruction (the AI generated fan thing snapcube made a while ago) shadow was catholic or something which I think is reallyyyyyyy funny

Ok listen. I know this is a stretch but hear me out. He says “oh my God” in the Twitter takeovers so we know this is a possibility. I see him as a Christ-like figure because I saw his whole confrontation with Mephiles and was like “this is a thing that happened in the Bible??” and the pose Mephiles shows him in is literally like a crucifixion and Mephiles is meant to be a demon / false prophet reference. And also he’s called a demon in Shadow The Hedgehog 2005 then the guy who calls him that is like “I was wrong I’m sorry” and that also reminds me of a thing with Jesus in The Bible. But the biggest reason is his whole thing with Maria cause I think he’d come to earth and hear Ave Maria once and convert to Catholicism idk he’s like we’re comforted by a female familial figure named Mary sometimes called Maria?? And her color is blue????? Heck yeah I’m in because I Will Cry. Also feel free to share this as propaganda obv even if he doesn’t get in the bracket just. It’s funny.

I feel like he’d battle a lot with being seen or portrayed as a demon and how the aliens he’s related to very much look and act like demons idk lmao- and also I feel like confession would just be good for him I think he needs it for his mental health

There is a debate on the lovely website tunblr that Shadow T. Hedgehog is an allegory for Jesus Christ.

He is Jesus, idk what to tell you. He lived, he was sealed away, he was awakened again and deemed the ultimate lifeforms, he’s angry but not evil, does what he believes is best for people and the world at any given time. Total loser.

A couple who's BIG HORNY for each other Words: 5089

Extreme sex re: tentacle porn. But this is still emotional smut in the same strain as the other Interludes. 

This chapter can be skipped and imo you shouldn't miss too much plot-wise. Something interesting that does happen will be described in later chapters. Don’t take the contents of this chapter too seriously. It wasn’t planned well in advance like most other chapters. The Reader is ovulating and so am I, that’s all. Oh daddy Vlad.

In this fic, vampires are infertile because they are dead, including their spunk, which Vlad knows. He's just indulging in a fantasy and contemplating a life which he knows would never have been possible.

I also went through this story from the beginning and made some small edits. I swapped some words here and there that I liked more and made two changes to ensure continuity and adherence to the canon:

Alucard should only be using one gun in Ch.7 since he doesn’t have the Jackal yet

In the OVAs, there was no painting hiding the entrance to Alucard’s lair

Excerpt below the cut

”Alu-!” You stopped in your tracks upon entering the great room after the check in the bedroom yielded no vampire. 

“Vlad.” 

The diffuse rays from another hall retreated shortly after illuminating the lounging figure, as if shying away from the night creature of legend. 

Alucard was always correct whenever he mused about the wonders of darkness’ cover. 

There was beauty in the unbroken shadows. The poor visibility compelled you to adjust to the nuanced differences in the most subtle shades of black. The brooding giant nearly fused into the surroundings, consuming any specs of light, his knee-length tresses flooding around him in an inky pool deeper than the background. No metal reflected the lamps outside. Vlad was unarmed, clad in a skin-tight suit covered in straps that outlined his impressive physique.

This was not who you expected to find. Twin citrine jewels flickered softly as they regarded you. You silently observed each other for a moment. Was he sad again tonight? No, clearly he could scent your need and was waiting to see what you would do.

‘The trappings of his physical form were meaningless,’ you recalled him insisting. You took wide exaggerated steps to allow your groin to air –and for your natural aromas to diffuse better. Kneeling at his feet, you wedged between the King’s knees and fumbled with the leather straps to fish out his member. The outfit was an irritating single piece garment. Fortunately, the clothing parted as you dug in and left you salivating at the creamy flesh nestled within a sea of darkness. 

Summoning up a piece of forgotten courage, you glanced up at his imposing magnificence before standing abruptly to lead him back out to the throne room. Your lover was a king tonight and respect must be imparted. 

You exhaled as you arrived and got a proper look at him. The jumpsuit accentuated the outline of those sublime proportions. His chest was thick and quads swollen with brawn; you could make out the grooves where his triceps began and where the “V” to his hips ended. The smoggy darkness cloaked him like a jealous mistress unwilling to relinquish her finest work of art.

His cock hung semi-erect from a carpet of neatly trimmed pubes.

The vampire was enjoying the attention, eyes sparkling as he watched you drink him up. The corners of his lips tilted roguishly and your gaze focused on those plump pads. Something snapped.

Your mouth crashed into Dracula’s in an open-mouthed kiss as you stood on the tips of your toes and nudged him back to encourage him to sit, to allow you to fellate the King on his throne. 

Piece by piece, you took your time shedding the components of your night clothes, until at last you let your panties drop and join the pile pooled at your feet with finality. 

His stare bore through you.

There was a low whining sound from someplace far away, yours, as you rubbed hard against his body and collapsed to the floor to settle between his legs again. A trail of fresh bruises were left in your mouth’s wake along his thighs. Audacious, but the need to satiate the flesh was stronger than any lingering intimidation inspired by this version of your lover.

The bruises disappeared before your eyes. The circles mottling the dead man's skin were never bright red. Angry maroon faded into smooth alabaster within moments as the pounding of your heart kept pace with the speed of your lover’s healing.

Your fist tightened around him. You latched tight and sank as far as you could, casting your gaze at him again proudly through hooded eyes when you barely gagged at this depth. It was the triumph of many months of training in the bedroom. Your cheeks hollowed.

Vlad was austere and gorgeous, and though he remained silent, those narrowed vermilion irises remained fixated on your actions. At least the way he gazed at you wasn't as lecherous as Alucard.

The vampire grew for you rapidly, a reassuring indication you were doing something well. The back of his fingers stroked your cheeks as you bobbed and applied more suction while you prodded his balls.

You stayed on your knees in supplication to a demon, feeling drunk in the act of perverse prayer.

You grew docile as you suckled your pacifier, marvelling at the fleshy taste of goodness when he tugged you off the ground and bent down to bestow another passionate kiss upon your hungry lips. Your tongues intertwined and shoved at each other. Your hands dug into his suit and traced the contours of his pecs, ravenously trying to get under and onto his skin. The royal vampire rumbled as you panted to catch your breath. 

“I have something to show you, my Darling. It is as we discussed,” he said.

You almost forgot your arrangements through the haze. That explained why he was dressed this provocatively.

Show me. 

The warlord’s hand enveloped yours as he led with a loose grip to the bedroom, where he stopped in the middle of the cavernous chamber. Somehow, you missed the leather sling dangling from the ceiling earlier. It oscillated ever so slightly in its emptiness. Not for much longer.

The vampire King, for all his nefarious reputation, stared down at you tenderly and smoothed the back of his hand over your face. So much power and all of it was restrained for your sake. A blindfold appeared from nowhere and he fastened it around your head reverently. 

“Do you remember what you agreed to? What you asked for?” He said as he cradled both sides of your face and coaxed you into tilting it up at him.

Profiles in Villainy 

Doctor Facilier

Sometimes known as the Shadow Man, Dr. Facilier is an evil, smooth-talking voodoo witch doctor who plots to rule New Orleans with help from his ‘friends on the other side.’ Having come from a economically impoverished background, Facilier held great resentment toward the rich and prosperous, none so much as the most powerful man in the city, Eli ‘Big Daddy’ La Bouff. Facilier sought to supersede his rival using voodoo and pawns while offering the souls of New Orleans' denizens to his dark loa benefactors as recompense.

The bargain Facilier had struck with the dark loa bestowed him incredible magical powers, yet came at a very steep price.  Were he to fail in any fashion then his own soul would be immediately sacrificed to the loa.  Undaunted and supremely confident, Dr. Facilier used his magical abilities to become a feared and respected member of the New Orleans’ underground.  He was sought out by the desperate and gullible who believed his magic could cure their problems.  It could... but never in a fashion that one would desire. Fore Facilier reveled in twisting his victims’ words so to grant their wishes in the worst, most wicked ways possible.  

When Facilier discovered that his rival’s daughter was looking to marry a handsome foreign prince, he concocted a sinister scheme to seize on the opportunity.  He tricked the prince into becoming a frog and then conspired with the prices’ valet to take the prince’s place, marry LaBouff’s daughter and steal the family’s fortune.  

The fiendish plot would have succeeded had it not been for the meddling of the LeBaouff’s family friend, Tiana.  Young Tiana was able to ferret out Facilier’s plans and intervened.  This ultimately resulted in the frog being turned back into a prince.  Having failed, a terrified Dr. Facilier was then dragged down into the voodoo netherworld, doomed for all eternity.

The always fantastic Keith David provided the voice for Dr, Facilier, with the villain first appearing in the 2009 Disney animated feature, The Princess and the Frog.           

[number-one-shadisper-shipper]

If you’re still doing the ask game, Shadow or Sonic as a dad?

Ooooh! That one's been a while, but I always love doing my ask games! And I have lots of headcanons for both!

Shadow as a dad

Did not know he could feel this many emotions until he had kids

Is determined to be a better dad than Gerald and Black Doom were (literally such a low bar like he hasn't tried to manipulate his kids into destroying the world so congrats you succeeded)

Okay we all know if he has a little girl he's naming her Maria

Loves his kids. Also has no idea what to do with kids ("What do you mean kids need food and sleep and encouragement I don't need that stuff! What do you mean that's not normal is that why I feel miserable all the time...?")

Is that "you got hurt? walk it off" kind of dad (does care if they get actually hurt but has a hard time with emotions)

Teaches his kid(s) how to fight and use guns from the time they're very small. They and Knuckles's kids are about equal in being super well-trained warrior children and it's totally not a competition at all

Stops referring to himself as "The Ultimate Lifeform" because he doesn't want to kids to feel like they're anything less than he is.(He does call himself the Ultimate Dad now though)

Doesn't let Aunt Rouge and Uncle Omega babysit anymore cuz every time he does his kids come back wanting to commit thievery and violence

Does a lot of things with his kids that he consciously or unconsciously remembers doing with Maria (reading books, playing dress-up, stargazing)

Is super tough until his kids pull out the puppy dog eyes and then he will do anything they want

Has pretty high expectations for his kids (they're the kids of the Ultimate Lifeform, after all) but is careful not to push them too hard or make them think he's disappointed if they don't do perfectly

Does so many dad jokes, but does them in a super monotone voice so no one knows if he's doing them on purpose or not

Sonic as a dad

Sonic is absolutely great with kids! It's not too hard for him to jump from big brother figure to dad

Has a lot of knowledge of kids from raising Tails. He's great at dealing with meltdowns and stuff, he's had a lot of practice!

Never stops going on adventures but is a little more reigned in. Goes instead to more places he can travel to and back in a day (basically anywhere still lol) or takes his family with him

Fosters a strong interest in travel and learning about other cultures

Teaches by example. His kid(s) are brave and heroic and curious, etc, not because Daddy told them to be but because they see Daddy acting that way

Tends to spoil his kid(s) just a little bit (he has a hard time saying no to them)

Oh wow taking care of kids is actually really tiring? Somehow his kids have even more energy that he does? He didn't know that was possible????

Is super supportive of everything his kids do

Tends to be the "reckless" parent. "Yeah sure we can go cliff jumping later sounds like a perfectly safe activity for a five-year-old" (to be fair he's been doing stupid stuff since he was five and he's gotten this far right? Also he makes sure to be right there to save them if anything goes wrong)

Takes naps with his kids in really weird places (in trees, on the roof, on the floor, etc)

(Sorry it took so long to reply to this! Thanks for the ask!)

[wprowers]

Sonic boom (series) little silly facts

that I've gathered around. pt 1

• tails home smells like rotten fish (or knuckles said that out of pettiness, both are very possible if u ask me!)

• not a fact but this world seems very post apocalyptic to me like what u want me 2 say

• eggman absolutely has both mommy and daddy issues (my guy built himself a robot mom)

• tails is unhinged (my baby has the most dangerous workshop ever and does not care, he just does the most unsafe things)

• TAILS IS ABSOLUTELY UNHINGED HE IS CRAZY (HE ALMOST DROWNS SONIC ON A FROZEN LAKE JUST FOR A BET, BABY THAT'S YOUR BROTHER)

• sonic has a lovely singing voice (said by tails and i believe him)

• sonic and tails have sibling fights and i adore that (assuming sonic raised tails like in every universe makes sense they are both so petty and chaotic.)

• Everyone has their own home but knuckles, (he tried to get one for his lamp but ultimately decided to keep on being a nomad) but we know he lived in tails' porch for a while.

• Knuckles doesn't sweat due to a medical condition on his sudoriparous glands.

• Sonic said something like "i dont think they will accept 'gotta go fast' as a medical condition" .... so perhaps adhd sonic canon on boom universe ?

• Shadow is just a bitch like theres literally no purpose to his actions he's just bitchy and edgy god bless him.

• Sticks technically should be the town's mayor !! she obviously doesnt see herself fit for that role so she keeps being the hero of the hedgehog village.

• Sticks gave the name of hedgehog village in honor to Amy, thats so sweet ( this name lately gets roasted by the robots from, how i prefer to call it, robot utopia )

• Orbot and cubot are sentient enough to be masochists. (i will not explain u have to see this for yourself)

• Fanfictions of the sonic team are a thing on this universe, including apparently nsfw ones. (sonamy being the most popular ship)

• Amy has or has had important roles on the village besides being a local hero (participated on the election of the name of the village, and i dont remember the name but she had a part on the protection team por endangered species).

• Amy likes to paint, she seems to like anything to do with aesthetics or design.

• Amy's crush on sonic is very normal, she's not all over him and she is not crazy for his attention. with this i say that her crush in boomniverse is represented as a casual teenage crush. she calls sonic out when she needs and doesn't see him through rose tinted glasses.

"Hey guys, it's 8r19h7 eYE2 here. Welcome to my first boss battle - a woman."

If you ask Bright Eyes - which no one is doing nowadays. Or talk to. So rude. - their ultimate weakness has always been hot women. Now you might be asking "Oh, does that mean you're Bi?" or "What's your body count?" or even "Holy fuck, Bright Eyes! When did you get in the shower with me!?" but that's not important. What you should be asking is what type of women Bright's heart explodes for like a car crash.

The answer? Preferably boss-ass bitches that can crush them with a pair of fuck-me-heels with daddy issues of the Frank Ocean level. Google it.

Oh and look! There's one here in Wonderworld! Shoes? Check. A scowl that can only mean the barista got her Starbucks order wrong again? Check. And when she steps away from the shadows, we hit the bonus round.

She's tall and her crown is pure platinum blonde. But like every white woman, she's hard to read but fortunately, Bright Eyes can so they check their text on Whatsapp (boomer apps gave them the hives) for any goddesses that are supposed to be on shift tonight.

Actually, let's go back a bit. Back to this morning when Sam accomplished the impossible and made Bright Eyes go 🕶️outside🌳.

"You know, I was counting down the days when you would finally kill me. I bet sometime this year. Vincent now owes me one of his Lambos. You think he'll be mad if I put some Barbie-friendly decals on it?"

"Bright, I don't mean now. I meant tonight at Wonderworld. Vamps in the Solaire Clan take turns patrolling the area."

Frederick pops into their head like an adorably fat mole. The Bright Eyes in their mind palace (it's actually more of a crack den but whatever) whack it with away because they know the unspoken reason why Sam approached them instead of his Progeny. And why he did so when Frederick was asleep.

But anyway, back to the present!

No hot white women were written in the text. Just a bunch of Vampires who form an anti-Bright Eyes committee™ as soon as they arrive. They ignore Bright for the most part which eventually leads the not-so-Newborn-anymore to the farthest end of Wonderworld where a babe is just chilling beside the vegetation-conquered carousel. Score one for the plants.

And the first thing that escapes from Bright's mouth is, "Good evening. May I inquire if you're a quirked up white woman that can bust it down sexual style so that I can get lost in the sauce?"

The scowl vanishes instantly. Like a father who went out to buy milk.

"Excuse me?"

Giddiness blooms like a weed (you know which ones) in Bright Eyes. She even has a Karen-patent tone! Could this night get any better -

Nevermind. Please wait for Bright's brain to reboot as an impressive set of badonkas-donkas is thrust in their face.

"Are you one of Sam's Progeny?" She didn't ask so much as demands. Like Bright and the world owes her something, everything. They wondered if they started panting because that's seriously hawt.

"I'm what you call a bastard of the magical kind meets with death via Vampiric jumpscare. And that's not a sentence I thought was possible."

Bright has to give blondie some credit; she takes their nonsensical answer in stride and with an eyebrow raised.

"I'll take that as a yes. You fit the rumours at least."

"You heard of me but I don't know who you are. You're hot but... sus. Do I need to eject you?"

"No surprise there. I bet Sammy did everything he could to hide you from me. He thinks he's protecting you, but all he did was made me curious."

"Aww shit, did the clapping of my ass cheeks give me away?"

"...Are you fucking high?"

"Probably. I had a shot of vodka with my honey milk boba tea with extra pudding and 100% sugar before I left. Fuck coffee when you can just meet god, amirite?"

The woman closes her pretty gold-ruby eyes. She exhaled and Bright could literally hear her mentally counting down.

"You're unlike any creature that I ever have the misfortune to come across."

"Uh, correction: you found me. And I still don't know if you're a quirked up white woman that can - "

"Enough. I get it. Are you usually like this when it comes to women?"

"Hey, I thought I would be holding in my rizz 'till the heat death of the universe! So who are you o' beautiful sour cream?"

"Careful, I can't tell whether that's an insult or a compliment."

"Sounds like a you problem, chief."

Apparently, magic does exist because despite the non-stop verbal trainwreck that's coming out of Bright's mouth, the woman's lips nearly twitch a smile.

"You're ballsy and stupid. I like that. The name's Alexis. A pleasure for you to meet."

Yes! Bright made it to Phase 2, bitch!

"They call me Bright Eyes, my IQ is the highest among the Redditors on the 'Am I The Asshole' subpage - "

"That isn't saying much."

" - And welcome to the ruins of Vincent's hopes and dreams."

Now that made Alexis burst out a gut. Seriously, she's clutching her stomach with tears in her eyes. It boosts Bright's confidence as a future stand-up comedian. Their 'flirting?' went well but Bright didn't sense the spark of interest within the older Vampire. Boo.

"Right. I've decided to kidnap you now. How accurately can you predict your... Grandmaker's reaction?"

"As accurate as my opinion on the Internet."

"Wonderful. I hope you like shopping and breaking the fabric of time and space on the highway."

And that, readers, is how Bright Eyes won against Alexis Getty-Solaire without getting Miyazaki'd.

Crown Jewel

We're skipping the discourse around this one. Ginny is Bonney's mother, Kuma's her daddy, and there's the potential of a half-Tenryubito bloodline which would explain a fair amount of leeway we've seen. Bonney is also only 12 years old. Love how it all fits well with her intro, do hate how grim Ginny's story ended up. But she kept that spark until the end, like the wrinkle of not wanting to be seen and trying to hide the pain. Out of respect for that we're not dwelling on the horrific circumstances of Bonney's conception.

I gotta say though, I was already wondering before that if film buff Oda wasn't striking again because Kuma's story of a humble guy weaving around big events was reminding me big time of Forrest Gump. If Wano was the Kabuki revue you'd pick and choose parts you care about...is Egghead a night at the movies? Sci-fi B movie vibes obviously. Then maybe these segments away are almost like, say going to the bathroom and catching a snippet of another. Hence missing parts of it. I'm rambling...

Absolutely adore the origin of the "jewelry" part of Jewelry Bonney. Both this cute scene and how the Sapphire Scale disease hearkens back to Thriller Bark. The core stakes of losing your shadow. Same with the origin of "If you could travel, where would you go?" In hindsight...I bet Perona reminded him of Bonney. It's also pertinent to point out they were at Sabaody around the same time. There's a lot to say about her after this chapter, starting with...

Bonney, welcome to the top tier of the blorbo rankings. How can I hate a chapter that gives me a feisty five-year-old flagrantly flipping the forbidden finger? Young Bonney you are so precious. Er...younger Bonney. So we don't just have the Sapphire Scales connection either. This chapter hits that running Egghead theme of callbacks so hard. I love this bit about calling her a vampire and brandishing a cross, especially with her flatly pointing out she lives in a church, but a lot of things honestly. Talking about wanting to see a Sky Island was nice.

We're gonna peel this one off for tomorrow, but there is one thing I do wanna note. Actually being 12 with a fruit like that is a different angle, but it has that fundamental thematic harmony with a quartermaster. Just like an elegant but lowkey scary big sister with an actress vibe, a bossy little sister with the infinite possibility of distorted futures suits bringing order and wearing many hats. Kiku's deal was being shown as legitimately good but not great at others'skills. The ultimate redundancy. Bonney is the blank slate. Strap in friendos, I have a lot to say on the matter over the next few days.

This is what I was thinking last week, the part that really gets there. The ability to just pop up at island after island is hellacious for a Revolutionary. Makes it easy to pull something like Sabo's simultaneous uprisings which is smart. Paralyzes a World Government that can step in it prioritizing the wrong ones. But yeah, Kuma goes on a tear after Ginny is taken. We get a great run of back-and-forth shots though between the hero and the doting father. Love that. He goes into a pit of despair, but the last remnant of Ginny becomes a reason to live again.

My guess is ultimately we'll see something like he agreed to the cyborg program at least partially because he could take on Bonney's disease himself. That would make sense for something. Kinda dig the theory Im suffers from Sapphire Scale. I know they said Bonney had a limited time but that may be because she'd already started to turn. Im if anyone has the resources to ensure you'd never encounter natural light and it'd be incredibly thematic. I will also laugh my ass off if we end up making the World Government functionally run by the Sohma Family from Fruits Basket. Sickly lil shut-in who was handed control for stupid reasons.

Hearken well, dear reader and don't look away. For what comes next is the tragedy of Sorbet. From priest to tyrant, from man to machine. A tragic tale who's end has already been seen.

Talk about callbacks, yeah this familiar nightmare reminds me a lot of Drum and Dressrosa. It is cool how Wano fits into that, a more benign version of reinstalling the ancient dynasty. This here is the perfect setting to shift us into the parts we already know a bit about. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Somewhere this kind pastor and loving father became known as a tyrant and he was referred to as King of Sorbet. We've only got a short window to cram in a lot of big things for Kuma. That said, could see us out of this by or in 1100. So a break and a big one-two punch?

[mayxthexforce]

maulkie actually means everything to maul. genuinely. his existence changes maul in a way he didn’t think possible. while his need to get revenge against sidious is still very much a driving force for him, his need to keep maulkie safe is stronger. initially he thinks maulkie could be a key part of helping him take down sidious. now the thought of losing maulkie is more terrifying than the thought of facing sidious alone (he’s not dumb tho so he’s not gonna do that either). maulkie is the first person maul truly cares about since savage and he has no intentions of repeating the same mistakes he did with his brother. BUT ALSO. i think the relationship with maulkie is gonna fuck up his connection to the force bc he’s essentially (trying) to let go of his revenge needs for maulkie’s benefit. SO HIS LITTLE PRINCE MEANS EVERYTHING TO HIM.

quinlan,,, the first time maul lets his need for companionship win. for one night,, but it was worth it lol. he’s reaping the benefits of kilindi and komari coming before him bc while maul is good at living in denial about both situations, the need to have what he lost is still there. maul is so terrible at letting his guard down around anyone, but quinlan is so good at getting him to do it anyway. touching him without any intentions of hurting him. loving him and being devoted to him with no catch, no ulterior motives, just wanting the feelings to be reciprocated. i know we were joking about the power imbalance ships ndkfnjfknjgk but this is actually the first relationship he’s experienced without that imbalance. they’re equals and maul doesn’t (usually) feel the need to assert dominance like dear old daddy palps always taught him. 

i’ve rambled now but he loves his kids too. cal and galen are his little guys. they’re a big deal for him too bc they’re the first time he has the position to train how he was trained, to punish how he was punished but he can’t. he can’t put someone through the same things he was put through.

FERAL. maul thinks feral was born with the instructions to purposely piss him off everyday. but he loves him. would do anything for him. i love the relationship arcs they go through and feral ultimately being the voice of reason.

and finally maul respects rook which is saying a lot considering how he treats most of his… soldiers?? employees???? while he will direct her towards potential death should he need to, he would always prefer it if she didn’t die.

What does my Muse mean to yours?

I love this so much AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Maulkie loves Maul. He looks up to him both as an example that someone can walk away from Sidious and live, which gives him more hopes for the future than he ever thought he'd get to have, as a cautionary tale on what to avoid doing (don't go after Obi-Wan Kenobi, basically), and also as the father he never thought could want him considering he was created to kill him. He's learning so much from Maul and is really grateful.

Quinlan feels safe with Maul, which is a little ironic considering everyone is constantly telling him that Maul is incredibly dangerous. But Maul is the first person he's felt he's an equal to, Maul doesn't judge him for his 'crazy' thoughts or because he fell to the dark side and committed atrocities.

Cal and Galen both have different approaches to being mentored by Maul. Cal was used to the boogeyman-like tales about Darth Maul all through the clone wars and even before that, but then he meets Maul and it's... different, Maul is far from a good person, but he's trying to be a Master to Cal. As for Galen... well, he's used to his mentors being Vader, who was quite neglectful, distant and violent when it came to training him, and Proxy, who was supportive and his only comfort... when his primary directive wasn't making him try to kill Galen; but Maul is different from Vader, and Galen sees a lot of himself on Maul- like Maul is the adult version of the child taken away from his family by a Sith that Galen is.

Feral grew up in Maul's shadow, actually meeting him was something he never thought he'd get to do and it's... strange. He's not disappointed, far from it. It's actually a breath of fresh air to see that Maul is just some guy. Yes, he's powerful and he's different, but he's also just a mortal Zabrak just like him- one that Feral feels he can actually teach some things to, mostly about their culture and heritage.

Rook admires Maul. Ironically, he brought her hope that perhaps Mandalore could go back to its former glory. Perhaps the Death Watch was not the way, but Maul's lead was by far better than Vizsla's. Even if he had ulterior motives, he had actual goals and was ambitious and determined to reach them, not just wanting the throne because some ancestors of his used to sit on it. She also respects strength and Maul is the strongest person she's ever met, so it's easy to follow him.

Enough for You - JJ/Rafe

Part One - Part Two - Part Three, Final Part.

Pairing - JJ x Reader / Rafe x Reader

Prompt - 7. “Why is she naked in your bed?” + 73. “I have been second best to ___ my whole life.” + 74. “I won’t be the person you settle for just because you cannot have her.”

Summary- a story in which Y/N has been in love with JJ for a couple of years and has realise that along with everything else in her life, she’s still living in Kiara’s shadow - even when it comes to loving JJ. It seems that Rafe notices this and decides to take her mind off it. The perfect escape from her own mind.

Requested? - Yes / No

A/N - Rafe’s going to be known as a douche in this, with his usual daddy and family issues - but he’s not a psychopath in this. Mainly because I’m worried I’d be too good at writing him this way and ultimately end up revealing some of my other personalities. 🙂 Also, sorry about the blurry GIF.

Ward and Rose had taken Wheezy away to the Bahama's for a work related visit, leaving Sarah and Rafe unattended to at home. Which obviously meant they needed to have a party. It was a right of passage.

Fortunately for you, you knew the Cameron house like the back of your hand and this was very handy when it came to situations like the current one. Being completey overwhelmed at a party is never fun, but thankfully, you had made your way into the forbidden zone (upstairs) and into one of many bathrooms you had to choose from.

You look in the mirror and let out a deep breath.

You've spent the last 2 hours trying your best to avoid watching JJ and Kie. You’ve been aware of your feelings for JJ for around a year now and to say it’s draining you would be an understatement.

You see, from the outside looking in, the pogues are all naturally paired up. There’s Sarah and John B, for obvious reasons. Then there’s Pope and Kie, due to Pope’s obvious feelings for Kiara. Lastly, there’s you and JJ. You are the available ones as everyone brandishes you. You two are also the impulsive and explosive ones, and a little bit unpredictable.

You and JJ have always been close, but the last few months, it's been hard to ignore your feelings for him. Which ultimately makes it even harder to ignore the way he's pining over Kie.

As you wipe off any smudged makeup, you glance in the mirror and stare at your reflection.

Just relax Y/N. You’re not jealous and it’s just a dumb little crush. There are plenty of boys here that would kill for a shot with you, are you really going to keep turning them down, just to watch him whilst he's looking at her?

You sigh and exit the bathroom. As you shut the door and head down the hall, you crash ino a familiar body. Your body stiffens, and you glance up. Rafe.

“Oh- sorry Rafe.” You say glumly.

“Are you okay y/n?” He asks and tilts his head down to get a better look at your complexion. You don’t reply so he nudges you gently.

“Huh? Oh - yeah, I’m fine Rafe. See you.” You reply, unconvincingly may I add, and scurry away downstairs, not glancing back at all.

You head straight for the kitchen with the hope of finding the strongest alcoholic drink in the house and swallowing it down as quick as possible. You find said liquid and pour it into the plastic cup you’d accumulated along the way. You bring the cup to your lips and glance up into the room ahead of you. Instantly, you meet JJ’s eyes. Involuntary, you roll your eyes at him and chug down your drink before making another.

Completely missing the way JJ frowned at your negative expression towards him, you then chug your second cup and make your way over to your group of friends. You feel yourself getting a little dizzy, but keep your composure as best as possible. They cheer when they see you again, as if you’d been gone for ages, when really it was 10 minutes maximum.

“Hey, you.” JJ greets and you simply flash a small smile before being passed a drink by Pope. As if you actually needed one - it still seemed he read your mind though. You smile at Pope, only this time it’s real. Again, JJ notices this instantly.

You hear JJ sigh deeply and you watch as he goes to speak to somebody who he knows from working at the country club. You smirk to yourself, knowing any minute now he will return once Kie comes back from getting a drink. And like clock work, Kie returns and JJ runs back like a lost puppy. Pathetic. You sip your drink and try to ignore the feeling in your stomach.

“I have cups, and I have beer.” Kie’s statement gets everybody’s attention. Everyone turns to look at her and Sarah grins.

“And I have a ping pong table.” Sarah urges.

“Beer pong?” John B suggests and everyone cheers.

You grinned and made your way to the table because you knew you’d be playing. You love beer pong and seem to be pretty damn good at it too! John B splits the teams, 3 v 3. Him, Kie and JJ on a team. Then Sarah, Pope and you on a team. Normal rules never apply in pogue party games.

*****

The whole game was almost torture for you. As if you were being punished. You could picture it now. Someone is out there torturing you through voodoo Haha, this is what you get for being a dickhead and falling for your best friend. You clearly drew the short straw somewhere along the line.

The hardest thing to do is to try and avoid the person you have feelings for at a party because there’s only one way to distract yourself: hooking up with someone else. Quite frankly, that wasn’t something you were thinking about right now but the temptation to do so as you watch JJ engulf Kie in his arms every time their team gets a shot, well it was difficult not to consider it really.

You lean against the window, taking a bit of a break from the game and watch your friends. Kie gets the ball in our final cup and Sarah is forced to drink up as the other team win. She launches herself in the air and John B starts twerking slightly in front of her. She then pushed herself against JJ and dances against his body as Sarah cheers happily. You clap your hands and laugh at your friends, ignoring the stinging sensation in your chest.

Rafe however… well he’s been watching the whole game. More specifically, he’s been watching you. At first he thought you were just frustrated because you weren’t winning the game but right now, following your eyes, he realises that he’s a long way from being correct with his theory. In fact no, he admits it - he is completely wrong.

“Ah.” He silently says, laughing and shaking his head as he chugs his beer. How did he not realise sooner? “That’s why she’s always played so hard to get.” He thinks and bites his cheek.

For the rest of the night you end up talking to a whole group of new people before heading down to the pier to smoke a joint on your own. You stare out into the water and finally feel at ease. You’ve never been afraid of being alone in the dark. In fact, it’s when you feel most at home. After a couple of drags, you finally sit down and dangle your legs over the edge.

Then, you hear a creak on the wood behind you and your head shoots round to spot the culprit. Heart beating ten to a dozen, you see Rafe again.

“Jesus fucking Christ Rafe!” You yell and grasp at your chest. Goosebumps appear all over your body and you groan whilst rubbing your arm. “Anymore jump scares hidden up your sleeve tonight?” You say with a tiny smile which makes him finally laugh.

“I’m sorry Y/N, I was trying not to scare you.” He laughs lightly and you smile as you take another drag on the joint.

You hold it out and offer him a drag. He nods and takes it out of your fingers and places it between his teeth. You watch him take a drag. The way his lips close around it and his Adam’s apple bobs during the inhale. The way he takes it out of his mouth, closes his eyes and leans his head back before he exhales.

NO. Stop it. You shake your head gently and play it off as a shiver as he opens his eyes and grins, taking in the hit. He looks you in the eyes as he hands you back the nub of your joint and you don't completely look away, instead you take a quick glance at his lips.

This is the first time you’ve ever really taken in Rafe’s appearance and you’ve known the boy for a VERY long time. Yet it never seemed to be something you’d ever had the chance to do before.

“So.” He breaks the silence and your eyes dart back up to his. You sigh and turn back to the ocean once you spot that classic smirk on his lips. “You we’re totally looking at my lips.” He accuses and you scoff.

You turn to face him now, crossing your legs in front of you. “You we’re totally looking at my ass that day when you zipped my dress up for me.” You fire and his mouth gapes open.

“That’s not tru-“ he objects and you laugh at him loudly.

“I was just messing with you Rafe.” You explain with a giggle and look down at your feet.

He laughs gently and it goes silent for a couple of minutes. Not awkward though, a very comfortable silence actually.

He clears his throat “So...How long have you liked JJ?” He blurts after a couple of minutes debating whether or not to ask.

“What?” You ask as your eyebrows crease, taken by surprise.

“I’d never realised before tonight, but it all makes so much sense now.” He says.

“Rafe, stop. I’m not in the mood for your games.” You sigh, trying not to let out any tears.

“I’m sorry. I just- it’a just that I thought it would help for you to talk about it you know?” He suggests and bites his lip. Your eyes fell back onto his lips now and you bite your own, fighting to urge to talk about it. You’d never told anyone.

“About a year, give or take.” You admit and he looks at you sympathetically. “It’s just a crush, like it will go away eventually right? They all have done before.” You shrug. He knew you were trying to convince yourself more than him so he just nodded along.

“Hey y/n?” He says and you hum in response. “Have you ever thought about a distraction?” He suggests with an unreadable expression. You frown slightly and shake your head.

“Well no, not really. I wouldn’t know where to start and who to start with.” You laugh awkwardly but as you glance back up at him, you realise what he’s hinting at and you instantly start to sweat. Again, you find yourself staring at the boys lips as you take your own in between your teeth - trying to resist the urge to kiss him. But hey, you could blame the alcohol right?

You lean in closer and closer until you’re leaning over, hovering your lips over his. He lets out a hoarse breath as you breathe lightly onto his lips, sending shivers down his spine. Impatiently, he closes the gap himself and places his hand around the back of your neck to pull you closer. His other hand grabs your hips, pulling you forward so you were now straddling his lap. He deepens the kiss and you groan as he bites your lip ever so slightly.

Things get heated pretty quickly and he is soon pushing his hands firm against your hips, making sure to press your bodies closer together. As you finally relax around his lap, his hands go to your ass and squeeze gently, making you moan into the kiss. Even more so when you feel him, solid as a brick, beneath you. You pull away and sit upright and he instantly attacks your neck, nipping at your sweet spot.

“Rafe.” You say through moans as he stops kissing your neck.

You see the fear flash through his eyes. Instantly he's filled with guilt and regret. He didn’t mean to do this to you. He felt like he had completely abused your vulnerable state and that was wrong. Maybe he’d have felt less bad if it were someone else, but that fact that it was you made it even worse.

“I’m so sorry Y/N. Let’s stop.” He stutters and goes to remove your bodies from one another. You laugh and he stops moving, an eyebrow raised.

“I don’t wanna stop.” You smile, nipping at your bottom lip slightly. “Do you?” You ask and look into his eyes.

His body relaxes again and his hand trails round your hip, under your shirt and up your back before he looks at you once more. “Not at all.” He grins and you blush.

“Boat?” You suggest as you look around for a place to continue.

“Absolutely.” He deadpans and you laugh, getting off him and holding a hand out to stand him up.

Feel The Burn: Andy & A.J.

Summary: A.J. is very protective of his Mama, and he’s not afraid to let people know. Andy Barber x Black!Reader, A.J. Barber, BiBi Barber, RoRo Barber, KitCat Barber

Warnings: Fluff, Protective A.J, Mother/Son Time, Father/Son Time, Minors DNI

A/N: In between other projects, I’m going to keep writing fics that hopefully allow you to get to know the Barber Twins little personalities. Hope you enjoy! Let me know and thanks for reading. Written on my phone. All mistakes my own.

___

You and your three-year-old A.J. were out and about on your weekly shopping trip. While all of your babies loved to cuddle, this one took home the trophy for being Mama’s ultimate snuggle bug.

He was like your little shadow, not that you minded. Katrina joined you sometimes, while Aurora and Bianca preferred to stay home with their Dad whenever possible.

Speaking of shadows, RoRo followed BiBi everywhere. She thought her big sissy hung the moon. It annoyed your oldest sometimes - due in part to that whole seven year age gap - but for the most part she didn’t seem to mind.

And as for KitCat…she wasn’t above dragging her little brother everywhere. She loved to read to him, and he loved to listen.

But back to your date.

“Alright buddy,” you ruffle his recently cut hair, “we’ve got the lunchables, the toilet paper, the lunch meat, cookies, ice cream…” You keep listing things off.

“What else are we missing?” You press your forehead against his. “Think hard for me.” His little brow furrows as he closes his eyes. You do the same.

“Ummm. I fink…cupcakes.” A.J. opens his eyes and grins at you.

Shaking your head, you rest an elbow on the cart. “Why am I not surprised, little dude? What kind of cupcakes?”

“Red wif’ creamy cheesy!” He exclaims.

“Fine.” You exhale. “But you must share with your sisters.” And me. You think to yourself.

You become lost in thought while heading over to the bakery isle, as you mentally review your grocery list. So you don’t notice the random man staring at your ass…

But A.J. does. And he’s not happy. He glares at the man over your shoulder and wags a little finger at him.

Instead of taking the toddler’s hint, the man chooses to smile and wave. This forces the little man to intensify his glare.

Back off my Mama. He thinks to himself. Gonna bite you.

Unbeknownst to you, the man continues to follow you around the store and even into the checkout line. And his eyes let everyone know that he likes what he sees.

In a rush to get home and eat dinner - Andy and the girls had ordered a of couple pizzas - you pay your bill and head out the door.

Your vigilant Andrew Jacob keeps his eyes on the man. His frown never leaving.

“Hey! Smile sweet baby.” You lean down to kiss his nose. And then you boop his little freckle. “Aren’t you excited for pizza? Daddy got you a calzone!”

“Watchin’.” He tells you. “Watchin’ for dah Mama.”

“Huh?”

“Excuse me, Miss. I don’t mean to bother you and your son, but I think you’re gorgeous. And I was wondering if I could get your number?”

The man was attractive, you could admit that. Be he had nothing on your Andy.

“Sorry, but I’m married.” You hold up your left hand.

“Happily?” He asks.

Before you can answer, your son yells at the guy. “Away fro’ mah Mama! Now!” He growls. “See you wookin’ at dah Mama. Go. Way.”

The man slowly backs away. “Look, little man, I didn’t mean any harm. You’ve just got a pretty Mama.”

“Yeah haf’ pwetty Mama. Haf’ big, stwong Dada too. Go. Way. I keep Mama safe den tell Dada.” A.J. shakes his balled up fist at the man in what you can only assume is outrage.

“I get it, I get it. I’m sorry. Whew.” The man turns and walks away.

You sigh and turn back to your son. “A.J., honey, that wasn’t very nice. Mama was taking care of that.”

He crosses his arms, gives you a “hmph”, and looks away. “Den you no be pwetty an’ A.J. no haf’ tah be mean.”

“Oh goodness.” You mutter as you buckle him into his car seat before loading the groceries into the trunk.

___

You walk through the door holding your bags. Of course A.J. insisted upon helping as well.

“Too heavy, bud?”

“Nope.” He grunts. “I got.”

When you reach the kitchen he hands you his bag.

“Hey, son. How was shopping with Mama?” Andy asks from his seat at the table. He stands up to greet you both. Apparently the girls had already finished and were playing in the den.

A.J. just shakes his head before going to the fridge and grabbing two fruit punch juice boxes.

“Daddy. Office. Gots tah talk.” Your husband gives you a weird look before accepting his own juice and taking the boy’s hand.

You stand there perplexed, hands on your hips, as you hear the office door shut.

Once safely inside, Andy motions for his son to take a seat before cracking open their drinks.

“Alright, son. Tell Daddy what’s up.”

The little boy sighs and puts a tiny hand to his head.

“Men wookin’ at dah Mama. Haf’ tah tell one tah go way.”

“Mm. I see.” Andy nods, rubbing his beard.

“Mama too pwetty. No wike.”

“Been there son. I’ve been there.”

“Isa pwoblem!” He wails.

___

Both of your men emerge from Andy’s office with serious looks on their faces.

You didn’t know what they had talked about, but it must have been important.

“You boys want me to heat up your food?”

“In a bit, sweetheart.” Andy kisses your cheek. “Junior and I need to take a walk first.”

“Oookay.”

Your men were weird sometimes.

___

The Next Day…

A.J. toddles his way down into the basement where he knows Daddy is working out.

He watches for a moment as the much bigger man grunts as he curls a set of heavy weights.

“Daddy?”

Andy immediately sets down the iron.

“Yes, baby. You okay? It’s early. Something wrong?”

“Wanna lif’ wif’ you. Get musicles. All mah sissies gonna be pwetty wike Mama. Need keep safe. Musicles like you help wif’ dat.” A.J. gives him a determined nod of his head.

Andy just smiles and wipes his face with a towel.

“Alright son, c’mere. We gotta be careful with this, or your mother will unman me.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t worry about it.” Andy hands his son a pair of 2lb weights. “Now watch me and do what I do.”

Soon they’re both curling weights, his little boy grunting just like his Daddy.

“Feelin’ the burn, son?”

“Yeah.” A.J. grunts. “Feel dah burn.”

Please note that I was never all that into ME multiplayer, but apparently one of the classes can use an omni-shield? Like the one the Shadow Broker uses? Really?! Why couldn't we ever get one for single player? Why don't people bring up the combat or narrative possibilities more often? You think my Shepards and Ryders would have passed up the opportunity to look like a badass futuristic fantasy knight??? Riding into battle, equipped with Blood Dragon armor (maybe the Remnant or Angaran armor for Ryder), omni-shield, and your choice of the asari sword, krogan hammer, or maybe the kett vakarsh.

I mean, they would have been the ultimate LARPer, let's be real.

Shep, calling out to Liara through the barrier curtain: Do not fret, fair maiden! I am coming to rescue you from this foul bubble! [Gets ready to swing sword at the barrier.]

Garrus: Uh, should someone stop them?

Ashley, recording them the whole time: Hmm...? Oh, nah. They're fine.

Liara: Wait, no!

Shepard: [swings]

Shepard: [gets electrocuted and laid the fuck out]

Shepard, from their place on the ground: ... I'm okay! 👍

***

Kaidan, getting carried over Shep's shoulder for the 19th time that day for whatever reason: Ugh... why is your armor so damn spiky, Commander?

Shepard: Beggars can't be choosers, but if you must know...

Shepard: Aesthetics.

Shepard: By the way, is my attempt to woo you working by any chance, or...?

***

Ryder: I am a powerful, dashing sorcerer who is determined to save this entire realm from danger. Oh, and I'm possessed by a benevolent spirit. He's chill.

Cora: [sighs] More like you're a young 20 something with daddy issues and an AI that enhances your natural abilities.

Ryder: Well, yeah, but you didn't have to say it.

***

Ryder, standing atop the NOMAD, posing with sword and shield: Onwards, noble beast!

Drack, shuffling to the driver’s seat: [floors it]

Ryder: [falls off the back and into some mud]

Jaal: And they're supposed to be our last, great hope for survival?

Liam: Let's be honest. The entirety of the Initiative and the Resistance looks at our whole crew and thinks the same thing.

Jaal: True enough.

The Neighbors Song - TheodoreR

Summary: “I always hear you singing on your balcony every morning, but suddenly you’ve stopped?”

Or the one where Theo annoys Liam every morning with his awful singing until he doesn’t anymore and Liam is even more annoyed. Liam hates every single thing about his mornings -the fact that they happen in the morning alone is enough. The thing Liam hates the most about his mornings though is the terrible voice of the guy who lives below him. He can’t sing for shit and Liam tried to politely let him understand that by throwing flour and water on his balcony, and also by shouting it to him, you can’t sing for shit!, and then by writing it into a note he proceeded to attach to his door, but this Raeken guy just keeps doing it, every single morning, like a fucking rooster. Liam did nothing to deserve this. He probably didn’t do anything to deserve better either to be fair, he doesn’t expect to open his window and be welcomed by some angelic voice singing him good morning, he’d just be happy with nothing. Silence. That’s something Liam can appreciate in mornings. Just some bark from his dog and the sound of his misery and that’s it. But no, god forbid the new guy lets him have that.

Theo would say a roommate was more along the lines of, “The person who's the bane of his existence. The weirdo that sleeps for days. The spaz that exercises at 3am. The guy with a revolving door of annoying friends. An insufferable human being that Theo has no control over living in his room.”

Example: Theo hates his roommate Liam.

He'd never thought Father would be one of those things but as he looked across the table to a six year old with blue smears of bubble gum icecream across her face trying to coax the first words out of her sister. Finger jabbing towards Theo's face as she repeated 'Daddy' again and again he couldn't bring himself to dispute the label.

so here me out: post-canon ( poetry like angst ) summer get away !! just the boys doing cute little domestic things together whilst pining !! theo’s guilt in this is just so powerful & aGjffkgkkfkvkdlv !! i think it’s so interesting to see how they interact in this one, it’s just very heart warming !! and it features one of my favorite niche teen wolf tropes of theo being great with like seven year old girls- it’s just so good ,, very much a wonderful little one shot that just makes your heart happy.

(next time i see you you'll show me) a hundred different ways to say the same things - cherrysprite

Summary: “...You deserve good things,” Liam says eventually. He makes sure not to look at Theo even though he can feel his eyes turn on him. Somehow he can already tell that Theo doesn’t believe him.

Liam instantly makes that the goal of this summer - making Theo believe him.

Machine Gun Kelly & Megan Fox Synastry

I have seen so many videos of these two about an individual interview, and I was like, " what the heck is this?" Because I have been a fan of Meghan since I was a teen, her relationship with Machine surprised me. I felt in a fever dream when I first found out about them being together. Why? Idk, they don't make sense to me; I respect their relationship, but I was not expecting it. Their vibes are not it, but they are not destructive as evil; it is more toxic...So, I decided to see their birth chart and synastry to discover why they are son in tune, but the public cannot see it. I would just point out the most exciting aspects to me. For this, I will use Astroseek birth charts. I will update you when I see the other chart. For this reason, I would like you to read it as a possibility, not the ultimate word. This is for entertainment purposes; let's go. This chart is the synastry

Both are Tauruses (sun), so you know what this means: they are stubborn; they will not let go of this connection so quickly. If they believe it is unique, IT IS SPECIAL. Her sun in the 4th sees him as a (Daddy) OMG! Bear with me; this is in the sense that he protects her and gives her emotional stability. While he has sun in the 12th house (apparently), the spiritual connection is there. He is all about moving and spiritual bonds: Machine has Pisces, Capricorn, 8th and 12th house stellium. They share many retrograde, too, the same exact planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) except for Saturn (R) for Megan.

Their share and understand their struggles more than anyone. Besides, Megan has Saturn Sagittarius in Retrograde, which means she might see her lesson way later. Freedom and Spiritual education can have different faces. Plus, Megan has Venus in Gemini; she can adapt to her lovers for the sake of love. People call cheater to Venus in Geminis, but they are chameleons for their s/o. At least, the ones who are loyal and want commitment. Sometimes, they can lose themselves.

Her Pluto is in Scorpio in the 9th (Megan) and Pluto in the 6th (Machine). They are transforming through their sexual connection and experimenting with their inner demons. Pluto under the Scorpionic spell is about accepting their inner turmoil and sexuality. Another aspect, it is his Lilith in Sagittarius is also influencing this relationship. He will travel and learn everything with her because she teaches him, making him feel free. While Megan has Lilith in Gemini in conjunction with her venus, this is a spiritual awakening and accepting her shadow somehow. She doesn't care what people see or think of her lover because her love is what matters. Fox will not listen to society because they have hurt her. She was taught to be adaptable, but she lost herself. Now, she accepted her own path and will adapt in her way. However, if she doesn't control her Lilith, she will take her lover's energy. Lilith and her relationship are something else.

This is my analysis...It may or not resonates.

Take care! <30
