angel has died...

[lunicho]

Here r my thoughts !! I hope they’re ok bc I’m really sleepy rn so idk if they make sense lololll

K: def a dom

- like I CANT see him as a sub

- If u try to make him submissive he’ll just mock u n make fun of the things u say when ur with him

- You: “Stop making fun of me”

- K: “I thought this was normal sub behavior 😋😋”

Fuma: soft dom

- likes taking care of you n worries about ur pleasure first

- If u want to be the dominant one he doesn’t mind and let’s u

- Subby Fuma tho…mmm tastyyy

- a soft dom but can be a mean one if he’s feeling extra possessive

Nico: switch (or is it called vers? Like versatile? I forgot 😟)

- a little controversial(/j) but I’ll d!e on this hill

- He tries to be the dominant one all the time but if he goes more than 2 days without ur pussy he’s on his knees begging for you and is at your mercy

- He just wants to be good to you so he’ll want to be in control but every now and again he wants to be taken care of and have you make him feel so good

EJ: service top with a sprinkle of sub

- As much as I love subby Juju and making him tear up I see him more as a service top but the subby parts of him comes out and he ends up falling apart bc u feel so good around him when he was supposed to put you first

- I looooooveeee service top juju

Yuma: MEAN DOMMMMM

- he is MEAN

- He makes FUN OF YOU

- But the dick is so good you’ll only go to him (so basically the mean dom Yuma you always talk about LOL)

- He’s actually not mean which is the funny part 😭 when y’all aren’t having sex he’s so chill and easy to hang out with 😭 he just likes seeing you cry and whimper as he fucks you and calling you names is the fastest way to do it LOL

- I KNOW the jealous sex is so good bc he gets jealous and possessive so easily so if another man tries to make a move on you he is FUMING and he needs to fuck you as fast as possible

Jo: sub

- pov: ur at the “I love sub!Jo” contest and ur opponent is me 😋😋😋😋

- Sub!Jo is so beautiful in my mind like him just laying down while i have my mouth on him PLEASEEE

- He likes it when you praise him omfg praise kink Jo 😵‍💫 but that’s for another time

- Tbh I see him as the type of guy that’ll do anything for you so you can praise him

Harua: switch

- as you know I’m a switch!Harua truther

- This section won’t be long since I already talked about it it

- But bratty sub Harua 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

- Sassy dom Harua who knows how to control you 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Taki: switch but u HAVE to hear me out

- every time I think of Taki most of the time it’s just pretty shiny sub Taki who wants all of your attention on him

- The type to D!E if you don’t take care of him and his raging boner /j

- Whines a lot 😵‍💫

- BUT LISTEN

- Recently…him and his “morality police” bit where he’s (playfully) telling the members to cover up and not wear revealing outfits

- Makes me think of mean dom Taki 😵‍💫 where you wear revealing and skimpy outfits to mess with him and he fucks you harddddd bc he knows you’re just trying to get his attention and to rile him up

Overall I also think that they’re all really possessive with the exception of Jo but those thoughts haven’t marinated long enough in my brain yet 😙

-😵‍💫

HOPE U GOT SOME REST BOO THANG, u came and u served and now its time for u to get the rest u so rightfully deserve bc this right here ‼️‼️

kei - okay so i do agree, he most often takes on a dominant role just because he enjoys it and it comes so naturally for him. BUT i had a convo with one of my moots (shout out mel 🙏🏾) where we explored the idea of subby kei and i think he's in there somewhere. he has the potential to be submissive but may not know how to go about it or how to commit to that fully which is why he'd rather be all snappy and mean and mock u about it and in other words that's why he kinda acts like a brat 🤷🏾‍♀️. but dom kei is so so real there's no denying that ☝🏾😌

fuma - YES. everyone who read my fuma a-z knows i agree cuz like duh, he's so soft dom to me but he has a love for being the submissive one. he may not be THE MOST submissive guy out there but being under u and being doted on is something he enjoys thoroughly. but yeah like u said ur his baby and his top priority so he loves taking care of u <3 subby fuma is incredibly delicious to think about if im so fr like idk

nico - i giggled. SWITCH NICHO IS SO REAL TO ME 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. ppl are too scared to play around with the idea of subby nicho but COME ONNNN u can't tell me this man wouldn't look and sound so good when he's getting edged and ur sucking him off or jerking him off or riding him like i can hear it so clearly in my mind how he'd suck in a breath thru his teeth and how he'll grunt and groan sm and how- yeah. also pussy obsessed nicho?? hello??? him not being able to be without pussy is so true i could say sm abt that but imma move on for everyone sake

juju - the way when i read his section the first time i went "NOOOOOO" but then i read it again and was like,,, oh wait kinda true tho. he leans so subby cuz of how well he listens and how obedient he is. he'll let u use him and grind against his face/ride his face, he'll let u pull his hair and get yourself off using his tongue like 😞. he's a service top cuz he likes making u feel good but i will never deny sub juju. i will never deny how pathetically hard he gets sometimes and how he Will tear up in front of u quicker than either of u could even process 😞

yuma - EXACTLY LMAOHSJS he's not actually mean or crazy at all like he is during sex which is what makes it hotter cuz he's so versatile. i do think that he can change up a lot and he can be soft and sweet at times too but he's just a rough sex enjoyer what can i say 🤷🏾‍♀️. i do wish ppl would fuck around with the idea of sub yuma more tho cuz i need people to feed me those thoughts like i wanna hear what ppl say so bad 😞 (teamies dom, sub, switch analysis but it's just me wanting people to explore the idea of sub teamies) AND THE JEALOUS SEX?? big yes he's sooo jealous and possessive sometimes like it's crazy 💔

jo - ?!?!?!?!?! $! $;! #;#;#? +#(#) #+#-(# like what like ?!?! $? ;$? $+($-# and why have u never come to my inbox abt sub jo?? didn't even know this was an agenda u had wtf??? LITERALLY okay. okay. let me control myself. i see him as a sub as well and i see him as the type who's a little naive but not necessarily in a bad way. he's just the type to follow you so blindly just bc ur his partner and he wants to do anything to please you so he can be ur good boy 😞 i could see the dom jo agenda but it's smth abt sub jo that feels so true to him 😞 he's so cute ugh

harua - yes 😞 i am aware of your switch rua agenda 🙏🏾 and honestly i think it's quite accurate i just cannot fully process harua as a dom like it just won't register in my mind so i always just think of him as a sub. and i always feel like he's not really like a brat he's just kinda moody and super needy and if he ever is bratty it's cuz of him acting up for your attention 😞

taki - ??!?!?!!!!! $;! $:$? $($(($$ okay so?!?!? fuck i literally agree like FUCKK 😭 taki can be so submissive to the point where if u told him to get on all fours and bark then he fucking would. this man will do anything for some pussy like im being so fr. he just might fall over and die if u haven't made him cum in a little while cuz he's like erm hello??? but he's such a good sub like genuinely 😞 but as a dom?? 😵‍💫😵‍💫 can't even properly process the thoughts that are happening in my mind but i just know he's rough and mean like u said, a little controlling too if im so so honest with u ohhh em geeeee. like maybe he only rlly doms on specific occasions or like maybe u both just switch often cuz i could see him needing someone who's willing to switch up regularly depending on your moods yk? (FUCK HOW'D THIS PARAGRAPH GET SO LONG??? i feel like i didn't even say anything 😭)

Makoyomi propaganda

"I feel like after the truth is revealed to Kanai Ward, Makoto could have some sympathy for Yomi, who I assume is in prison. He could visit him daily, and eventually, Yomi isn't as tense around him anymore. He reveals his face to Yomi, and it goes on from there. That's what I like to believe could happen."

"EVIL TOXIC GAY GUYS RAHHHHHH. Okay but they're so silly. "He's like my shadow" "Masked Freak" ugh just kiss already."

"This is the funniest ship in the game hands down. Yomi is the Tom to Makoto's Jerry. The raging oil fire to Makoto's water sprinklers. The chlorine to Makoto's bleach. Yomi thinks they're playing 4D mind chess but Makoto is not only 20 steps ahead but is also eating the pieces purely for the fun of it. Cute pet names to call your loathed one: kindergarten playground level insults such as masked freak and balloon boy. Makoto calls Yomi his shadow. Shadow? Bro. Do you really expect me to believe they haven't explored each other's bodies in the form of terrible evil cringefail hatesex? They make each other worse and I think that's beautiful, like a glorious explosion from a train collision in which both trains are stuffed to the brim with nitroglycerine and RDX. They should feed into each other's toxic yaoi sludge until they create fumes so noxious they rot and suffocate in it together. There is no "fixing" here, only prime time entertainment for anyone watching on the sidelines. What's not to love?"

"THE rain code toxic yaoi hands down only hellxander could compete in it's radioactiveness and only BARELY. I have documented and posted each and every single one of their interactions and I can say, without a shadow of doubt, Kodaka knew what he was doing. Yomi was so fucking obsessed with Makoto it's fascinating and astounding. The magnificent homoerotic tension between the two or just from Yomi's side tbh Makoto was considerably more normal about it I'm so sorry. They could bond over both believing themselves to be KW'S saviors and yet doing the bare minimum for the people or actively making their life even worse. I am drowning. there's no sight of land. you are coming down with me. hand in unlovable hand. and i hope you die. i hope we both die."

Every Makoyomi interaction, documented by @seth-burroughs

iron widow by xiran jay zhao [review]

read from august 25th - august 28th

review:

beware - slight spoilers ahead!

XIRAN JAY ZHAO THE GENIUS YOU ARE. i have no clue why i didn’t read this earlier but boy did i love this book!!!!!! disabled rep in the form of both zetian & shimin? check. feminine rage? check. great dialogue? check. world building that makes sense? check. a love triangle that doesn’t feel forced and is resolved in an interesting way? check. loveable anti-hero as a protag? check. grungy elements that make this YA book feel like it’s pushing the boundaries of YA fantasy? check. check check checkkkkkkk god i loved zetian. honestly she’s up there as one of my fav protags from literature. i always love a female protagonist who pushes against society’s rules and transcends beyond what is expected of her. plus she felt so rational, and i love that her character development wasn’t focused on her letting go of her rage!!!!! let women be angry and murder lots of men (in fictional books)!!!!!! i really enjoyed the plot and all its progressions and developments. the action scenes felt so real, and although i found it really hard to picture things such as the chrysalises & spirit armour…. i was having way too much fun to let the fact i didn’t have a super clear picture affect my experience reading this. i’m not a fan of love triangles tbh and they fucking piss me off but the way this one was handled….. chefs kiss. yet again XIRAN JAY ZHAO YOUR MIND. i wish the “resolution” of the love triangle (iykyk) was a bit more fleshed out and had time to breathe before the ending, and i hate when books are such a clear set up to a sequel. babes give me some form of resolution my god!!!!!!! but honestly with how much fun i had i can’t really complain, but i imagine those who read this when it first released would be fuming about the ending. it felt rushed. defo didn’t feel like it came out of nowhere but….. idk it felt Too Fantastical. the ending defo follows zetian’s established personality and motivations, but it feels like it.. wouldn’t be possible in universe. possible as in… yeah that could happen logistically…. but in reality would it be able to work? idk. but god this book literally scratches every itch i love in a book. in less than 400 pages, xiran jay zhao has cemented themselves as one of my favourite authors. plus they get bonus points for being a fellow nonbinary baddie. cant wait to see what chaos zetian causes in the next book 😼

Do you still take fic prompts? I had a thought. When Nesta went to those taverns, she didn’t just drink. She listened to music and played cards. I’d love a fic (Nessian ofc) where Nesta and the bat boys play cards/poker at the river house and it’s just friendly banter. Maybe Rhys/Nesta bonding when she beats him, Azriel using his shadows to cheat, and Cassian just happy to be there with his mate and his brothers.

I probably won't write this tbh, but IF I did...

100% percent Nesta is beating everyone. However, the person who feels really bitter about it is Azriel. Azriel is a sore fucking loser and he doesn't let Rhys join or have a go against Nesta, he's like no, let's go again. Nesta's always up for the challenge and she gets this maniacal glee from watching Azriel fume. He keeps running his hands through his hair and he's glaring because the commentary of the peanut gallery is "omg, is Nesta beating him?"

Nesta sure is.

She's beating him so bad that they're not even playing for money anymore because he is sooooooo bad and she's going to have his soul by the end and she pities the man. But the pity, makes Azriel more irrate and pissy. He's wild with rage. They've never seen him this murderous before.

Nesta is unfazed. She is calm. She is unstoppable.

At some point, Cassian is like dude let Nesta sleep and he sets her on his lap and she plays from there while he tucks her close to his chest. He checks on her the whole time and Nesta's not the least bit phased. She's not even tired. She's like do you like Azriel's shoes? His watch? I'm sure I can win them right off of him.

To which Azriel almost bites his fist. He can't even cheat. Not that he would because it's against his morals, but also because he's tried and she still wins. It's like she knows every move before he makes it.

Rhys is very very concerned and equally intrigued and somewhat frightened, because if his spymaster can be beaten by a 25 year old who hasn't even played this game as long as he's been alive, then Nesta just might a lot more conniving than he gives her credit for. Because he watches her play, and very similar to her dancing, she should really not have this amount of skill. Both in the game and in the face, because she's sneaky. She gambles well.

But after all of this, Nesta's like okay I'm done (happy face) and he's like lets play a different game, just one. Because by now he's pleading. This is his identity on the line and he's having a crisis, and so Nesta appeases and... she wins at that too.

She likes games, she merely says shrugging and Cassian's like... you know maybe we should rethink game nights and Rhys is like I so call dips on being her partner next week. To which Cassian and Rhys start fighting because clearly mate trumps all other options in game partners and Rhys is like but I have bribery. Obvi, Cassian is going to win that one.

Just like he won in mates.

[feedbackblues]

hi. i am renowned Playlist Maker feeba. here's my outer wilds playlist. EXTENSIVE explanation (AND OUTER WILDS + DLC SPOILERS) of every single song below the cut because i am INSANE and autisitc

Carrion: This song gave me the same feeling as reading some of the nomai text in the ruins. This song is insane to me. ["my soul," she cried "i thought you'd died / amid fumes of formaldehyde / you have been gone, for so long" i felt the lapping of an ebbing tide] <- particularly this part reads as when i explored the ruptured core...

Storm's Raging: HI blaseballers. are you emotionally destroyed? i'm emotionally destroyed. [the sun ain't coming back, the sun ain't coming back, the storm is raging]

Blank Slate: oh come on. Come On man. the universe has reset, has refreshed. [the slate, the slate, the slate is blank / and now, i know, we can't go back] come ONNNN

Didn't You Hear?: something about this is just so Nomai Music to me. the tenderness of the singer's voice. the way the instruments sound. the contents of the lyrics themselves [didn't you hear? there are signs in the sky / they say dreamers hang on / you'll wake by and by / and why are we all playing at games we cannot win? / we play because we fear we cannot play again]

In Space: an instrumental little jaunt that sits somewhere between Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and the merry wonders of the stars

Stairs to the Attic: oh boy. this is one of the more complex ones to me. the lyrics of this are self-explanatory, if you know the story of the game ([and through the door there was the attic / without old clothes, without a ceiling / everything had opened wide / into the jaws of something bigger]), but there's just something about the desperate existential voice that drives my brain nuts

Leviathan: fullstop this is about the Nomai extinction to me. or Solanum. i just. 😭😭😭 FUUUCK man. Fuck

Onset - Beyond Clouds: another instrumental.. reminds me of the pre-intelligence hearthian ancestors seeing the stars for the first time tbh

diary entry 7/15 - 7/28 + fourteen days is not enough for my screams to reach your ears: (these songs connect together) self-explanatory if you look at the lyrics tbh. [short wicks on a small stage / watch us burn, watch us burn, watch us burn / oh, you won't see me cry] [all our worlds will end / all our time is burning] also again... Hi blaseballers...

two week world: OH WHEN THE WOOOORLD LAST TWO WEEKS!!! YOU DONT GET FAR!!!! WHEN THE SUN FORMS AND BURNS OUT IN FOURTEEN DAYS!!! ALL YOU CAN HOPE TO BE!!! IS SOMEONE ELSE'S STAR!!!! IN SOMEONE ELSE'S SKY!!!! A TRILLION MILES AWAY!!!! A GOOGLEPLEX OF YEARS DOWN THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAYBE OUR DAY OUR LIGHT WILL GUIDE SOMEONE HOME!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAUAGAGAAGHAAAAAAAAA. AAAAAAAAAAA

analog: this song is just kind of cute and reminds me of the general hands-on and analog technology of the hearthians. they would put a grandfather clock in a spaceship.

nullified: Okay this is because i have an animatic for it in my head. But i picture the Hatchling accidentally breaks the warp core in a loop before they make it to the Vessel. and they have to fly their ship to the Eye themself. and. augh. starts crying

first field: another Antlers song about being a tiny piece of the universe and loving the world you were born on? uhhh yes please

Curses: blaming you for this lazuli. but also it's a goodass song

Hollow Moon (Single Version): blaming you for this lazuli (echoes of the eye edition)

Don't Quit: IT JUST REMINDS ME OF THE ASH TWIN PROJECT MUSIC? TBH???????????

elsewhere: OHHH NOWHERE TO GO!!! STUCK ON THE COAST!!!! STUCK IN THE ELSEWHERE TRYING TO FIND MY WAY HOME!!!!! FUUUCK

howling at twin moons: a looping hearthian's remorse to when the life was simple and linear and the little pleasures of the world could be enjoyed without knowing how they would be burned away. Also, haha, twin moons, like when the quantum moon orbits timber hea

Remember Me: nomai. NOMAI. I WANT TO GIVE THEM A KISS. IM CRYING INTO MY PHONE

solar eclipse (live @ the garages vs desert bus): don't wanna be forgotten. don't wanna forgive. is it so bad if i just wanna live. also the live version feels like having my whole heart ripped out thx

Intimate Immensity: the universe loves you and the universe wants a kiss

.--. --- . - - . - .-. . . : don't ask me what the title of this song is because i don't know. also it just reminds me of the village

you want it darker: THE OWLKS OH BABY I FUCKING LOVE THE OWLKS. LETS GO. the lyrical genius and Hot voice of leonard cohen combined with my special interest OOOOO ywah. Oh yeah. [you want it darker / we kill the flame]

The Sea of Tranquility: sniffling and crying and wiping my eyes on my sleeve and hiccuping and sobbing and [oh, we'll be old and weary friends / god bless, let all this never end / and how we lived / and how we know / and how we laughed together / and who alone / sings how we sang / know all we knew / and all we'll ask forever / is bring us too]

Road Movie to Berlin: i love tmbg rips open my shirt to reveal a second shirt that says i also love the narrative connotations of being trapped with your buddy (#timebuds #they should kiss)

Little Bird: reminds me of the prisoner and the hatchling meeting... in that moment you communicate more effectively than you do with anyone in the wjole game...

Sickly Suite Part One: sounds like solanum 😭😭😭😭 reminds me of her. [how are you today? / are you sure / you're still okay? / it's been a long, long time / but now you're reborn / dragged out into the light]

Sickly Suite Part Two + Three: i just like i monster. leave me alone

the twelfth trip around the sun: STARTS CRYING SO LOUD. you dont understand. the emotions i feel from this song i cant explain them thru words. i know that's literally the point of this post but i just can't do it

The Voyage: another instrumental. i apply this to all of my fixations where there's a Treacherous Journey

The Sun Hasn't Left: oh my god this is literally so time buds. this song is just straight up Gabbro you dont get it. [the sun hasn't left, the sea still has depth / the rain's still wet, try not to forget / we're not so bereft, so here's a bell that still rings true: / there's still something left, there's still something left for you]

Little Motel: again... Time Buds.... sorry i want the aliens to hold each other and sway softly

Dashboard: total vibe shift. but um. the dashboard melted but we still have the radio.. if u even care

Never Ending Math Equation: THE UNIVERSE WORKS ON A MATH EQUATION THAT NEVER EVEN EVER REALLY EVEN ENDS IN THE END. OK?

Night On The Sun: me and my homie the softboiled egg hanging out on the doubly impossible binary planet system orbiting 3 inches away from the surface of the sun

The Ground Walks with Time In A Box: gabbro again... i love you gabbo

5-4-3-2-1 Lisp Off: silly song abt being an astronaut can u tell i like modest mouse.

The Whale Song: I KNOW I AM A SCOUT I SHOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY OUT SO THAT EVERYONE COULD FIND A WAY OUT. INSTEAD OF SEEING A NEIGHBOUR OUT GOD I WISH I WOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY OUT IT WAS THE LAST TIME WE WERE HAPPY EVER HAPPY.

Gravity Rides Everything, Ocean Breathes Salty, Bury Me With It, Coyotes, We Are Between, King Rat: gabbo again... i like gabbo....

The Great Fire: WHEN THE FLAMES DIE DOWN!!! EVERYTHING IS GONE!!! WILL THERE BE FIRE!! UNDER THE ASHES STILL!!!!!! FUUUUUCK I LOVE THE OWLKS!!!!!!

Our View Of The Stars: instrumental that makes my brain explode

SUN 2 + SUN 2 (live): nomai love song... take my hand when i forget that there's a reason i'm alive, dude....

When I Was Done Dying: hatchling recounting their loops at the Eye as they have become so disconnected from the fear and feeling of death they regard it as nothing more than a momentary pain

And Yet Our Love Lives On: the way the nomai bones are still cuddling in their beds... fuck

Thank You: hatchling.

Eye of the Universe: literally just a kickass fansong

Feet-like Fins: PROTO-HEARTHIANS I LOVE YOU

still here: SOLANUM!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

watching the stars, snowfall, PP1: just awesome instrumentals tbh

Dark Center of The Universe: gabbo

The Yawning Grave: MY WAY OUT THERE HYPERFIXATION. MY LORD HURON HYPERFIXATION. NONE OF YOU ARE SAFE I AM CONTAGIOUS. anyways. ruptured core/Stranger moment

Frozen Pines: i know this is crazy but hear me out. gabbro/time buds (and the ancient glade)

You Can Never Go Home: they can never go home! idk bro!

Space & Time: [i'm close enough to happy to say / i'm close enough to happy to say / that i won't throw my memories away]

Long Lost: YEEEESS. YEAHHHH!!! YES WOOO!!!!!! I AINT LONELY IM LONG LOST!!!!!

I Lied: this reminds me of ocs i made sorry

Twenty Long Years: hatchling has been alive too long and nobody even knows. does anyone even know how long they've been dying.

Sober to Death: sorry this is literally another time buds song i fucking love gabbro.

The Moon Doesn't Mind, At Sea: i just like these ones.. i love u lord huron <3

Lost In Time And Space: if i don't find her (solanum) gonna tie that noose. literally so real of the hatchling. tbh.

[funnywormz]

not technically a tv series but the hotel?

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!!!!!!

favourite character: the manager....... lobby boy is a close second but he can't beat the manager for me....... it's funny bc i didn't like her much at first but the way her character develops throughout the series is so compelling and goddddd i care abt her so deeply. she's so funny and silly without realising it sometimes but she's also So Sad. i love how over the series she softens up just a little bit personality wise and you can see her start to care abt the others despite herself......... i can't fully explain it but she just fascinates me so much im so hyped to see what travis does with her in the future. also her internal monologues while dealing with guests can kinda be a big customer service mood at times LOL

funniest character: i want to say the manager again but im gonna try to be fair here.......... i think the owner is the funniest character but completely unintentionally on his part lmao. he's so Grumpy and his absolutely all consuming hatred for the lobby boy in the earlier seasons is so funny. he just sees the lobby boy standing there and is absolutely fuming exploding with rage. he's silly. also his rivalry with the manager kills me they're just playing passive aggression 4d chess 24/7

best looking character: ok so we never get to actually see them but it's the manager. i know it's her. i instinctively feel like the concierge is probably hot too but the manager is the sexiest of all of them i just know it

3 favourite ships: uhm. i can't rlly think of 3 lol but my top 2 are managerboy (obviously teehee) and ive started becoming fond of the bellhop x the auditor too (idk if it has a ship name). i don't rlly listen to the show with shipping in mind though so i can't say it's something i think abt much. although i am Insane abt managerboy to a degree lol

least favourite character: OUGH. uhm........ idk probably one of the guests lol i don't dislike any of the main cast though

least favourite ship: honestly i don't know enough abt the shipping in the fandom to have a least favourite........ it's not something i think abt often enough to have ships i don't like lol

reason why i listen to it: bc it's good!!!!! idk why i enjoy it so much bc just the basic premise doesn't seem like something i would enjoy, like as a concept it just seems sorta fucked up and repetitive but the writing is just so good.......... i can't help but get into it and care abt the characters despite the fact that they're objectively horrible lol. i adore them. and the horror is so good and the stories are so compelling and always have this deeply emotional level to them that i didn't expect at all when starting the show

why i started watching it: bc of izzy's @/filthyguts amazing art for the show! its art captures the vibe of the show so well i love his stuff so much.......... very very good art. it's been inspiring me a lot tbh lol but im so fucking busy that i can't find the time to draw myself rn and it's tearing me apart a lil bit rip. but anyways yeah i think his art for the show should be compulsory viewing for anyone who listens to it, it complements and adds to the podcast itself so well

It’s My Party [F.W]

[Pairing:] Fred Weasley x GN!Non Gryffindor!Reader, (slight) Fred Weasley x Angelina Johnson

[Summary:] Y/H has won the 1993 interhouse quidditch cup as Y/N, the house’s keeper, gleefully shoved it in their boyfriend, Fred Weasley’s face. Prideful as ever, Fred decided that he can’t be the only sore loser between the two of them.

[Warnings:] angst, Fred being immature, off canon, mentions of smut, not a happy ending, swearing, (please lmk if there’s more :)

[Word Count:] ≈1.4k

[Song:] It’s My Party- by Lesley Gore

[A/N:] please no Angelina slander. Y/H = your house. The first fic I will be posting will be ANGST?? idk what to think about this tbh but i just really want to post a fic out of the many in my drafts so let’s hope this goes alright :D

╰┈➤✎*+:｡.｡⋆·˚ ༘ **ੈ✩‧₊˚ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

Gryffindor’s are chivalrous. Evident in the way Fred Weasley has mastered the art of seduction as he made gallant efforts of persuading the inhospitable Y/N to be his. 

Gryffindor’s are courageous, as he and his brother gave their all into their final game that would lead Gryffindor to victory. Hitting bludger after bludger and making sure they do not give Alicia Spinnet another nose bleed. 

And Gryffindor’s are determined, so much so as their loss has made them into sore, sore losers. 

The Gryffindor’s are pissed and Oliver Wood took to punching the soil. Harry Potter let go of his firebolt and covered his face in frustration. Angelina Johnson took the same approach, aggressively wiping sweat off her face and crouching down to her knees. Not a single damn in the world if her trousers get grubby. Alicia Spinnet and Katie Bell held onto their broomsticks as they placed their foreheads on its end, frustrated tears trickling down their faces. 

The sound of wood plopped down onto the dirt as Fred and George Weasley threw their beater's bats and clean sweeps aside. A deathly look splattered across their once haughty exterior.

All of their vigorous training, late nights and early mornings, all of their valiant efforts, all for nothing. They have lost.

What’s worse was that the opposing team was dripping with ecstasy rather than tears or whatever’s on Johnson’s slacks. 3 houses were beaming, but not for the house of red and gold like they wanted. 

It pained Fred that they lost. It hurt him to feel angry and resentful of the prideful smile that graced Y/N’s beautiful lips. Those sweet sweet lips he kissed once, twice, a hundred times now looked so pungent. The fact that the smile he's looking at was full of mock instead of sincerity for his loss made every drop of his blood boil.

Y/N's eyebrows raised once they saw their lover, giving him a cheerful smile and a shoulder shrug. Their hand gripped onto their broom as the other held their soaking leather helmet. They shook their head in celebration, droplets of sweat shooting from the ends of their hair.

They truly looked beautiful, especially with the warm rays of sunlight gracing their skin and robes; Fred was breathless. His heart was thumping so hard from rage as his breathing was suppressed.

He didn't think losing to his partner's house ESPECIALLY if his partner is part of the competition would affect him so negatively, but it did. He wanted to feel happy for them. Genuinely happy for them. But he couldn't, or at least at that moment.

And before he knew it, Y/N was being dragged away by their teammates, whilst roars of celebration followed suit. He wouldn't have a chance to be with them alone now, and probably for the better.

The tension in the Gryffindor common room could be cut smoothly with a butter knife or Colin Creevey's safety scissors. The silence was uncomfortable and Fred's lips were all pouty, leg bouncing up and down, and arms wrapped around his torso.

His mind was clouded with rage as well as a longing to see them, to enrage them like what they did to him, he wanted them to feel how he felt the moment they gave him a cheeky smirk knowing, KNOWING how much Gryffindor wanted to win. To be the one to give their head of house the cup they utterly deserve.

He stood, grabbing a girl's wrist, "Angelina. Come with me, will you?"

╰┈➤✎*+:｡.｡⋆·˚ ༘ **ੈ✩‧₊˚ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

"Kind of weird not seeing you grinding on Weasley right now, Y/N." Y/N's teammate joked, making Y/N choke on their butterbeer. "Like— he looked pissed. Every one of them did. But like— I dunno, I expected more from angry Fred, y'know? Maybe like angry fucks or something?—" Their teammate continued, making Y/N chortle even harder. If there was such a thing as getting drunk on butterbeer, this would be it.

"—maybe even a heated make out session?"

"Fucking hell, why in the world are you talking about my love life? MINE?" Y/N asked light heartedly, getting a shoulder shrug and a mocking glance of their teammate's eye.

"All seriousness though, Y/N. It's weird not seeing him here. He'd still appreciate you, you know? You did amazing!"

Y/N thought about it, but knowing Fred's quick temper, he's most likely cooling down before he meets them at their house party. "He's probably just pissed off. Or maybe they’re trying to stop Wood from drowning himself again, I don't know. There's endless amounts of possibilities when it comes to Gryffindors." Their teammate nodded in agreement and went back to the usual chatting.

Every minute that passed by without Fred showing his freckled face felt like a stab in the chest. They've never ghosted him when Gryffindor won against them, why's he doing this to them now?

╰┈➤✎*+:｡.｡⋆·˚ ༘ **ੈ✩‧₊˚ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

"Fred?! Or is this George? OY WEASLEY? WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU TAKING ME?" yelled Angelina, being dragged out by an angry red head with a face redder than his hair.

"Just trust me, Johnson." he said breathless, speed walking his way through the halls, Angelina in toe. Dragging her towards the Y/H common room.

He reluctantly took off a wire wrapped ring Y/N made for him and placed it on the pads of his fingers. "Wear this."

"Why?!" asked Angelina angrily. "What are you on about Fred? Didn't Y/N make this?!" Not answering or even giving her words a single thought, he put the ring on the nearest finger he could reach, held her hand, and made his way into the entrance.

╰┈➤✎*+:｡.｡⋆·˚ ༘ **ੈ✩‧₊˚ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

The party was going beautifully, just like every single one that preceded it. It was going as smoothly as a butterbeer running down a drinker’s throat. But something is wrong with the butterbeer. It hit hard. It was bitter. It was burning.

Y/N’s shoulder was tapped by the person next to them, their finger pointing towards the entrance of the common room.

Who in their right mind would put firewhisky in a place no one asked it to be in?

“This party’s beautiful! How come you don’t make Gryffindor party’s this nice?” Angelina said, fingers relaxed in the hand of Y/N’s boyfriend. The man they’ve been with since third year. Now holding onto a pretty girl’s hand instead of theirs. 

And to add insult to injury, a bronze glint shone on her finger, as well as a purple bead. Angelina’s wearing his ring loosely on her thin, nimbly finger.

Y/N froze in their seat, simply staring at the two of them. They looked like they belonged together really. They really did. They looked like royalty, and every time Angelina pointed at something it looked like she was giving a wave. 

It broke them. It finally broke them. The cold Y/N, the stony Y/N, the frigid fucking Y/N broke as a tear ran down their cheek. Shit. He broke them.

“Hey Y/N!” The beautiful Gryffindor chaser waved cheerfully and innocently as she spotted the beater’s partner. But they didn’t respond cheerfully back. Instead, a half empty mug of butterbeer was left at the place they once sat and a fuming Y/N walked away. 

Angelina stood confused until she felt a weight in one of her hands. “What the hell, Fred?” She let go of his hand as soon as it hit her. “Are you using me to make Y/N jealous?! What the fuck is that for?!”

He didn’t answer. It was as if at that instant his once clouded mind became sober. Once drunk with rage now sober with guilt. Yeah, what the fuck was that for? 

“I’m going to find them because apparently you don’t have the fucking decency to do so.” She spat to his face, taking off the ring he put on her finger, throwing it to his face, and following the sounds of sorrow. 

And there the red head stood, face as pale as a ghost and as guilty as a criminal awaiting his charges, knowing, KNOWING that no one would bail him out now. Several heads were looking at him at that moment, but he couldn’t give a single fucking damn.

Hi hi! I really really like your writing so far and saw your requests are open but feel free to completely ignore this if it makes you uncomfy in any way, its totally fine! maybe how they would react to their s/o saying 'I hate you' during an argument in the heat of the moment (you can write it for whoever but I was thinking bakugo tbh) take care btw! <3

Ahh, I love the angst Hope you enjoy this one! And I’m super glad you like my writing! Hopefully, you like this too! (If this doesn't math what you had in mind for your request, feel free to leave a comment or request another and I can re-do it)

‘I Hate You’ Bakugou Katsuki x Reader {Scenario} (REQUEST)

Pairings: Bakugou x Reader

Warnings: Angst, swearing

If you’d like to request a similar headcanon or something entirely different with the same or different MHA/BNHA characters, feel free do to so! Note: Most of my work will be a gender neutral reader/perspective, unless you specifically request something different. You may also request a headcanon for any size, ethnicity, religion etc of person, everything here is welcome! (As long as it is not offensive, and follows the guidelines.)

Hot tears streamed down your cheeks, your and curling and unfurling with annoyance and pure rage as his words continued to circle your mind, the sound of his footsteps still plaguing your ears despite your attempts to walk away.

You and Bakugou had treated today like any other day, things seemed quiet and somewhat calm, as usual. But after a few hours of continuous study, your boyfriend had become slightly frustrated with the overload of work, inevitably leading to him taking out his anger on you.

It wasn't too bad at first, the male simply snapping and calling you annoying, practically begging to be left alone. But you hadn't let it go, and continued to push, asking if he was alright.

You justified your actions by saying you were simply worried and concerned for him. He never usually acted this enraged, so when he escalated the argument, you couldn't help but break down.

You hadn't gotten too far into your sentence before he exploded, jumping from his spot on the floor and screaming at you to leave him alone, yelling about how annoying and frustrating you were to be around and deal with.

Not being able to handle the onslaught of insults and rude mannerism, you turned on your heel and walked away, tears following not long behind. Bakugou noticed his mistake and began walking after you, constantly calling your name in a desperate attempt to reach you.

Which brought you back to now.

You shook your head, sniffling lightly. "I don't care, you told me to leave you alone, so I am." You heard a light growl, rolling your eyes. "Shut up you idiot! That's not what I wanted, okay?"

You shook your head, swivelling around. "Then what did you want?" The male widened his eyes and stepped back, swallowing harshly. "I...I..."

You felt another surge of tears roll down your face at his choked up words, realising he truly did have no excuse. Your own voice trembled, your hands shaking gently.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought.” 

Before you could turn to leave, however, you heard a gentle scoff, making you widen your eyes. You faced Bakugou, his lips curled in an annoyed snarl. “There you go again, always fucking assuming things.”

You clenched your fists, anger bubbling over in your stomach. “What?” “You heard me. God your so annoying!” He fumed, his cheeks an nose turning a light shade of red. His voice began to raise, making your skin ripple with goose bumps. 

“Can’t you just listen to me for five fucking seconds?! What is wrong with you?” You growled, wiping away the salty tears with anger. “What is wrong with me? What the hell’s wrong with you huh?! You always do this!” 

The words that fell from the two of you dripped with venom, your voices raised to the point you were both yelling, no, screaming at each other. 

“God your so fucking petty! Just shut the fuck up for five fucking seconds!” You grit your teeth, tears now running waterfalls down your cheeks. “Fucking hell...” He threw his hands in the air. “There you go, fucking crying like you always do.”

You shook with anger and fear. “Shut up...” But the male ignored you and continued, shaking his head. “Maybe if you weren’t so fucking weak...” “Shut up!” He snapped his head up. ”Don’t fucking talk to me like that.” You seethed, holding down sobs. “Or what, you’ll hit me!?” 

“Fuck off! Do you really think I’m like that?!” He yelled at you, his voice making you flinch. Ignoring your scared actions he reached out, trying to grab your wrist so he could pull you towards him. Yanking your arm away from his, you swallowed harshly. And that’s when you snapped.

“Get away from me! I hate you!”

He froze, slowly pulling his hands back before his words immediately ceased. The male went dead silent, staring at you with now tearing up eyes, a look of regret plastered across his features. 

“You....hate me?”

You bit your lip, shaking your head and letting out a soft sob you couldn’t hold in anymore. You fell back, your back hitting the wall and slowly sliding you down to the ground where you pulled your knees to your chest and allowed the tears to stream down your face. 

Your vision became blurry, everything spinning with the pounding headache. You heard a gentle sigh before a blurry figure crouched down in front of you, their hand slowly making it’s way to your face. “s/o...hey...”

Bakugou dragged his finger gently to wipe your tears, his own beginning to escape. You shook, gripping the back of your head. “I-I’m sorry...I didn’t mean to...”

He shook his head, holding back tears and pulling you into his chest. You gripped his shirt, hiding your face. Bakugou slowly began tracing circles on your back, shushing you softly and helping to wipe away your tears. “I know...I’m sorry, s/o. Hey.”

He placed his finger underneath your chin, lifting it to face him. “I know you didn’t mean it, I promise. I’m sorry, okay? I don’t think your weak, either. And I don’t want you to leave. Just...”

He held you close, resting his chin on the top of your head. “It’s okay, I’ve got you. I’m never leaving, ok? You’re gonna be just fine dumbass. I promise...”

*Hope you enjoyed reading this! It was a bit rushed, but I made sure to make it as detailed and enjoyable as possible!*

Since @coffee-fueled-sloth tagged me to post my four current favourite songs, and I love these tagging games.... here I am!

It also came in the right time too, since not even one week ago I only listened to anime openings cover.

Number 4: 99.9 by Mob Choir (IT'S THE ONLY ANIME OPENING I SWEAR)

Number 3: Passerine by The Oh Hellos (one of my favourite songs of the band, with Constellation and Soap, but this one is just... special. I still prefer the original version tbh)

Number 2: Lanfranco (storia di un vecchio pazzo) by Gli Ultimi (found this band thanks to Tear Along The Dotted Line with Un battito ancora, I was unsire if to put this or La mia banda. A good Italian rock group that it's insane I never heard before)

Number 1: Altrove by Eugenio di Via Di Gioia (One of the most underrated Italian band ever. I'm so fucking pissed no one talks about them. I'm fuming with rage. Natura Viva is one of the best album I heard, with incredible songs as Lettera al prossimo, Inizia a respirare, Pace all'anima, La misura delle cose, ecc..., and every other songs they wrote are as good as them. But Altrove is, hands down, my favourite song from them, despite loving all of their songs.)

Gonna tag @renamon , @zer0cracy and @arcade-lackey . No pressure!

[alltheprettyboys]

what is up with lbc and controversy? First saint, now cooheart??? the most angelic human being on earth? y'all dare to bully him and mock his sexuality? while profiting from a bl show you're acting in? playing gays? WHAT THE FUCK.

there's an entire twitter thread - a whole fucking thread - about lbc cast mocking/bullying cooheart, especially in their latest live. some of it being things like: a game called "make earth drool", telling earth to rate dick pics, accusing earth of being interested in the "hidden parts" of the male cast- I'm gonna stop here. Even thai fans have spoken out and are raging.

I'm fuming too tbh.

Please go to cooheart's insta. and shower him with love. Please let him know he is loved and supported. He does not deserve to be treated like this. He didn't even have to appear on this stupid live, but he did it despite only getting like 4min of screen time. on lbc2.

I'm sorry for making such a post, but this one hit me real hard. :( I feel so incredibly sorry for him. I hope he is surrounded by his loved ones, his close friends, and that he's able to smile and laugh again.

Playlist: What If I Told You That I Love You - Alie Gatie

Warnings: Swearing and passion

"It's club business." The statement was an automatic response from Coco but for her, it meant something entirely different. The mug in her hand cluttered into the sink and she turned away from him. Gripping the edge of the counter in front of her, she squeezed her eyes shut and focused on her breathing.

Coco narrowed his eyes, confused at her reaction. He moved towards her, tucking a hand around her forearm when she shook him off.

"What the fuck is your problem?" He growled, his temper getting the best of him.

They were fine moments ago and now she was acting like he was a pariah.

She swallowed, shaking her head, "No. I'm not doing this again." His anger reflected through her back at him. 

He creased his eyebrows again, "Again? This is the first time we've ever done anything."

The rage shaking in his voice as he alluded to this being the last time they may do anything. She turned to walk away but he grabbed her wrist and tugged her back.

"Let go of me!" She spat, yanking her arm back.

"Puta madre," He swore at her.

She bared her teeth at him, "Fuck you too, Coco."

She shoved him backwards and he grabbed her wrists to stop her. She struggled against him.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" He demanded. With a harsh yank and tug, she managed to separate herself from him, stumbling backwards and into the kitchenette table.

Tears built in her eyes but she swiped them away before the fell, "I'm not going to spend my life living in the shadow of your club. It's your life, not mine. I won’t be made out to be untrustworthy. Not after everything.”

Coco arched an eyebrow, and retorted, "I never said you were.”

She scoffed, "You didn't have too!" Her voice began to rise as she spoke verbatim, "It's club business. That in itself implies you don't trust me."

Coco fumed for a solid minute, those were the rules. She knew that already. Why was this such an issue all of a sudden? He reeled, ready to yell back at her when it all fell into place for him.

"Happy." He mumbled. Once that realization hit him his fury boiled over. “You don’t want to live in the shadow of my club but I have to live in the shadow of him? I don’t know if you noticed this or not, mamí, but I ain’t him.”

She scoffed, yelling back, “Oh yeah? Then how come it’s club business and not a real fucking explanation?”

Coco stepped up, his head tilted to the left, his face set in anger and pointed a finger into her face. 

“What makes you think you deserve that privilege?”

She lifted her hands and moved to shove him away from her when there was an obvious shuffling behind them.

“Guys,” Leticia’s voice rang out from behind his back.

She let her hands drop down to her sides as Coco’s head whipped around. Letty stared at the two of them, a frown on her face. She didn’t need to say anything more.

“Lo siento, little mama,” She apologized.

They’d clearly woken her up. Letty met her with sad eyes. Letty had been listening. She wished there was a way to make the young woman feel better. But, it seemed this might be the one to end them all.

She ducked around Coco while he was still focused on his daughter. She exhaled as she darted into his bedroom and grabbed her keys and phone from the dresser. She took a minute to close her eyes, spend a few last moments in this room. The place she’d begun to call home.

She turned to leave and was blocked by him leaning on the wall directly across from the bedroom door. She stood in the door frame, watching him.

He was holding a lit cigarette, his arms were crossed and he was staring at the floor. His hair was hanging in the balance, covering most of his face.

Her heart pounded in her chest. She had hoped that they wouldn’t have gotten to this part. She lifted a hand, desperate to feel those silky strands between her fingers. She chewed on her lower lip and inched her hand back to herself.

She walked towards his front door as he followed behind her. She reached for the handle and stared at the peeling panels of the door.

“I love you, Coco.” She said, refusing to turn around and face him, “But I’m not going to compete with the club for you. I understand how important it is to you, and I respect that.”

She turned the handle and pushed through the door before she broke down. She let the screen door slam shut behind her.

Coco’s head snapped up at her confession. Three words. Words that neither of them were willing to speak out loud. He knew how he felt and he knew she knew that but this was her making the ultimate sacrifice. All without her knowing that he reciprocated.

He was out the front door right behind her. Catching the screen before it latched shut. He needed to be sure. He needed to trust that this wasn’t a ploy. A game.

He called to her retreating back, “You love me?”

She stopped abruptly, coming to the realization of what exactly she had said to him. She could back out. It wasn’t too late. It already hurt like hell. Why not fake the mistake. Make it easier for him to forget her.

She glanced over her shoulder, finding him standing there and watching her intently. His was devoid of any judgement. His eyes open and accepting. She let the tears fall down this time. Blurring her vision.

She took a shaky breath in, “Yeah. I do.”

“Fuck.” He swore, low and gruff.

With her forefingers, she wiped away the pooling tears. She watched his Adam's apple bob as he swallowed. They stared at one another. This was it. This as where he laughed at her. Where he finally showed how naive she’d been.

He licked his lips, “Ay mamí,” The words came out an octave higher than a whisper, “I love you too.”

He didn’t give her a chance to question him. He crossed the distance between them in three long strides and had her face framed with his hands.

“I love you.” He repeated, tilting her chin up towards him.

His eyes searching hers. Willing her to know that this was real. Her eyes flicked back and forth between his, high emotion rushing through her.

He leaned down the rest of the distance and captured her lips with his. She sighed as soon as they connected. Her body falling slack against him. He let one hand drop, wrapping around her back and steadying her.

She reached up, one hand sliding up the back of his neck and delving into the hair there. It was manic. Their need for one another driving them. Their hands pressing hard against each other. She never wanted her arms to feel as empty as they did a moment ago.

With each breath they took, their affirmations coming true. With each break for air, they whispered the truth to one another.

“I’ll tell you everything.” He promised, his chin resting on the crown of her head. Cuddling her into his chest. Vowing in his mind to never let her go.

Word Count: >900 Warnings: Gangster AU, graphic depictions of violence, aggression, bullying, blatant harassment, abuse, low key hitting kink, forcefulness, assertiveness,no plot tbh, deliberate cringe scenes, brain fart, etc.

A/N: ALRIGHT THIS PIECE IS KINDA WEIRD AND BRAIN FART

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION FFS. NCT 127 IS NOT LIKE THIS

inspired by kick it because i want them to kick me STREAM KICK IT

also there is no true pairing because wtf is happening tbh

i’ll make a part two if you tell me what’s going on

“Hey baby cakes,” a voice calls. 

My aimless walking is halted when an obstruction in front me trips me. When a hand roughly pulls me to balance myself up, I realize Johnny tripped me.

The said man speaks up again. I look up at him and his lips quirked into a smile that did not mean he was happy. One of his hands was in his pocket. “You didn’t answer my calls.” Johnny raises a brow and releases his grip on my forearm so he could snatch my jaw and smush my lips out.

His finger tips are digging in my flesh, but the pad of his thumb is smoothly stroking my cheek. He raises both brows this time in expectation.

“Jaehyun told me to ignore you.”

Johnny narrows his eyes at that, “you were with Yuta last night though.”

I gulp.

He chuckles, “Nakamoto told you to say that.” It was a statement, not a question. Johnny lets me go with a sigh and slaps my cheek. “Don’t lie to me, baby cakes.” He places both hands in his pockets.

I rub my cheek and pout, feeling wronged-- but not because he slapped me, but because Johnny was now angry at me for following orders.

“Don’t give me that face,” he says. He then grabs my bag and gets my wallet. He shoves my bag back to me and walks away. I follow quickly his long strides.

He walks to the counter of the cafeteria we were in. 

He pulls out money from my pink wallet and orders a plate of pasta, a burger, and fries. My favorite food. He drops my wallet on the floor and walks off to sit somewhere, I’m guessing.

The cafeteria lady looks at me like I had two heads, and I smile at her, grabbing my-- Johnny’s order.

I look out and see Johnny mouthing off a bunch of guys, shoving them off the table. I speed walk over and one of them almost falls on me. So Johnny twists his arm and forces him away. I whine at his actions. He snarls. The guys walk way.

He sits down. I place the tray down and call his name.

Johnny grabs me by the hip and growls, “Don’t call my name.” He snags me down.

He pulls the tray towards him and eats his food.

I watch as he eats, placing my head on my hand. He starts with his burger and finishes it in a blink. He finishes his fries next and I lick my lips when he himself does so. 

At this point, Johnny scoops some spaghetti. His lips are covered in sauce.

A child, I think, and get some tissues in my bag.

Johnny sees this and puckers up, only to harshly swat my hand away and kiss my neck with his sauce covered mouth. I shudder and scream, “JOHNNY!”

He narrows his eyes in amusement and lets out his signature airy laugh. “Lemme help,” he then says, grabbing my wrist and my nape, licking the sauce off my skin. I shove him away. He snorts, “You love it though.”

He laughs and eats his spaghetti.

I wipe my neck and scowl at him. He looks so pleased with himself. I raise my upper lip, lunge at him, and aim wipe his lips.

He screams, “GET OFF!”

He elbows my side in defence and I recoil at the impact. Johnny opens his mouth to speak. “THERE THE HELL YOU ARE!” is what fills my ears however, and it’s not Johnny’s voice.

I turn and see a fuming Taeyong. His face is firing with rage. I curse under my breath. I left him waiting in the parking lot. He pulls my head back by the hair, “you left me waiting in the parking lot.”

Johnny quips, “let her fucking go.” The said man then slaps Taeyong’s hand off, except Taeyong pulls his hand back and Johnny’s hand hits the back of my head. 

Johnny curses.

Taeyong pulls my hair again and leans in, “stand up.” He releases my very messy hair, allowing me to stand. 

“Try and pull this again and you’ll be bruised for months.”

I clench my jaw at his voice and how he presses his lips against my ear with every death threat he has to say. 

“Johnny made--” 

“Johnny what?” Taeyong sneers, pulling me towards him by the nape. “Who’s the leader of this damn gang, honey?” he drags out his pronunciation with the pet name.

I can’t look at him when I speak. “You.”

He leans in closer ‘til our noses touch, “Look. At Me.” His breath is hot against my face. I turn my eyes to his and feel the burn of his gaze.

“What’s my name?”

I hold my breath. “Lee Taeyong.”

Taeyong nods slowly and my heart is about to leap out of my mouth. He turns to Johnny then so suddenly whips his head back and bites my lip. Bites. My lower lip is most definitely bleeding now, judging by the heat on it. I hiss.

Taeyong is staring me down when he switches his grip to my wrist. He turns back to Johnny, “Did you kiss her?”

To the untrained eye, Johnny holds a poker face, but I see his lips twitch, “Her lips? No.”

Taeyong rolls his eyes, “Just get Jungwoo and get this over with,” and drags me away harshly.

HypMic: You Dare Cheat on Their Daughter?

@misaki-na asked: Hello! Can I request an Parents!AU about these Hypmic dads reacted to see their Daughter got dumped by her first bf because he's cheated on her? Thank you, have a nice day! 💕💕

Let’s get this.

Ichiro

Calm? Yeah he’s actually pretty calm honestly

Though he’s probably is fuming in anger inside

He would hold his daughter as she’s crying but then he would use and abuse his connections

Like he wouldn’t do anything drastic

He’d probably take out his rage on something else, not the guy

But he would so go after him, like personally go to his place of residence and threaten him

Or somehow  corner him and blast him with the hypnosis mic then pin him against the wall and threaten him

That rap is going to fucking nearly melt those brains out, but he would never let him forget

Jiro

Flat out makes a very, very threatening street art that so happens to be near his house

At first he’d be honoured right? But then… well it’s a very very realistic depiction and drawing of his death

Like as the person who was upset with Ichiro for abandoning him and Saburo, he would be very, very upset with that boyfriend

Though he wouldn’t make an actual attempt on the life though… well he’s matured enough to not like actually lash out

But then that street art would be very, very, very threatening with the undertones of death

Oh and, it wouldn’t be one art only, it would be a lot, to serve as reminders

Saburo

Oh god he’s so smart like, oh god whoever did that to is as good as dead

He’s not yonder level, but he, probably at this point, is successful in his own field and has a ton of connections

Like he could use Samatoki, or his own brothers for that matter because his daughter is basically their daughter

And it would really become a family affair so he would really have a plan that would involve more than one person attacking the dumbass

Like one time its gonna be Ichiro, then when the guy tries to run its Jiro, then last blow would be Saburo

Samatoki

Oh god, he would not take cheating kindly

But then he wouldn’t go sprack on his daughter like, he’d probably just click his tongue and tell her to be more careful but then also hold and comfort her if she’s crying

No one deserves to be treated like they’re second rate

I mean, he wouldn’t go out and kill him you know bc not allowed by everyone else (Jyuto, his s/o… the law)

But on the street and he sees him, he makes a fucking threat on his life

Or you know, just wreaks his house

Or beats him up… personally because he has all this pent up rage that he needs to let loose and additional Hypmic after the beating

Or has Jyuto have him arrested after Samatoki frames him for a crime, wreaks his house, beats him up and makes sure he’ll live in fear for the rest of his life

You hurt one MTC daughter, you have the whole MTC on you

Jyuto

Flat out finds blackmail of him and publishes it through an anonymous name because he has connections

Like not just crime blackmail, but actual incriminating blackmail of like humiliating pictures, stories

And the cheating story doesn’t make the front page with his daughter’s name on it, but the other girl’s name on it, also humiliating her

The victim is unknown and all and the story circulates with help with his connections and blackmail of his own

He also arrests him for crimes he didn’t commit and lets him fester there with the worst fucking inmates ever

And when he gets out, MTC will be on his heels

Samatoki would be out for killing, well sort of

Jyuto would make the law processes as hard as possible

Riou would just be a silent presence with his training

Riou

He wouldn’t react that bad, but then he would also be sent into the rage and has to go to the gym to cool off or punch some trees

Riou like setting traps right? Well, Riou sets traps. Riou fucking like finds out his schedule and has Jyuto make fake contracts that the guy would sign, or fake deliveries of drugs

And the guy would end up getting arrested and Riou would be there to beat him up while in the jail cell

Or tbh, kidnap him and place him in the middle of the woods where he would have to fucking survive on his own

No help will be given where no one can can hear him scream

Ramuda

You just fucked with the wrong division

But Ramuda would do it all on his own, and everyone is honestly fooled by his facade

So when is daughter comes up to him crying, saying the entire cheating thing, Ramuda just consoles her and cheers her up by going out and having a meal and all, but then he would have a plan in mind

He could bring the other two, but he wants the satisfaction of him doing it by himself, and he has a ton of connections and he knows how to play

So he would work on the blackmail, the small inconveniences, and also the fucking threats mailed to him, and his bank account emptying, the loss of friends, the eviction notices, the fake news and rumours spreading about him generally just ruining his life while he just watches from above and sees his daughter party about her ex having a miserable life

Oh and wardrobe, completely ruined

Gentaro

he will comfort his daughter and like tell her truths and reassure her of all the things and on the spot write a funny poem

An author will write

So he will write and publish so much shit, and most of his raps will be dedicated to hating on him

And he will publish stories that are lies, but written so well that everyone believes them, like think Reynolds Pamphlet except fake

So there’s an entire controversy about him and he keeps adding fuel to the fire by asking Ramuda to help him get the message across

And one day he will fucking tear him down with the worst and most painful rap of all that would leave him nearly insane and do you really want to cross him

Dice

Please don’t mess with Dice either

He will flat out, with no restraints, go after the guy the moment the daughter tells him

He will drag said guy back to the house and force him to apologise to her, but of course before that he would really beat him up within an inch of his life

And he’s honestly going to use hypnosis mic and really kill his mind and beat him so hard

All he wants is a better life for his daughter and not to be tossed aside like scrap

So yeah he’s furious as hell with no one to restrain him, and I really think he’s so strong that the punches fuelled with adrenaline are gonna hurt to the different level

Jakurai

Ill-doc

No really, do you want to mess with the assassin?

I mean, to his daughter, the usual comforting and the chill and the hugging

But that night, good lord someone should really send help to that guy

Jakurai loves process, that’s what he shares with Ramuda, so he does the thing where threats are placed everywhere and it drives him crazy

Think like batman but, with a real endgame kind of goal

and at the end, the guy will find himself cornered with Jakurai kind of just behind him like a shadow

Ill-DOC comes back with the kind of bone breaking that’s permanent, and it keeps him quiet because it leaves the promise for more

Or worse, injections that don’t kill, but flow like acid and burn for a long long time

Doppo

Calls up Jakurai

Or he deals with it himself, though he wouldn’t be so confrontational about it and would be a mess first

But when the guy starts to be condescending, he stops apologising

Because no one, condescends his daughter, he can take anything hurled at him, but once you start on ruining his daughter, you’re in a for a new treat

The things he’s about to do, he won’t apologise for any of it

The rap he blurts out is the most unapologetic thing that can happen, like really, the most unapologetic

Like Doppo with no barriers and he’s so brutal without worrying about being offensive or apologising

Hifumi

that boy is so dead

Hifumi isn’t the brute force kind of guy, but in a suit, he can easily persuade the guy to go drink with him in a bar

And Hifumi can charm him into another drink and another drink and another drink until he is ruined drunk

Completely ruined drunk that he does so many stupid things and Hifumi lets him

He even brings him to the host club to flirt and play with the girls, all the while Hifumi takes pictures with the guy’s fucking phone, posts them and lets everyone see them

Buster: I've never let it stop me before 'cause I didn't want it to stop me before Buster: Don't mean I wasn't aware of the fact it wasn't my place Rio: Fair enough Rio: it's not like I didn't know Rio: or others weren't Buster: Yeah well Buster: There's only one me & I'm responsible for myself so Rio: I don't care, don't worry Buster: I care Buster: About you Buster: & Doing better Rio: Okay Rio: then it's okay Buster: Good Rio: All that's in the past Rio: I don't think about it anymore Buster: Yeah Buster: I only think about the future too Rio: We can try anyway, yeah Buster: Of course Rio: Let's stop talking about it Rio: we're not meant to lie Buster: I haven't lied Rio: Alright Buster: Do you wanna try again? I reckon you could easily sound more like you don't believe me Rio: It's got fuck all to do with believing you Buster: What then? Rio: I said, I don't wanna talk about it Rio: think about it Buster: Fine Rio: No it isn't Rio: you don't get what I mean Buster: Well, either explain it to me or don't Rio: If you're gonna be like this about it then forget it Buster: Jesus Christ Buster: I'm not being like anything Buster: I'm just saying, if you want me to understand something, tell me about it Rio: I don't want to start shit for no reason Rio: but yeah now I am thinking about it Rio: and you've said a lot worse to me than about having shit boyfriends Buster: What's your point? Buster: I was there, I know I have Rio: My point? Rio: Maybe it ain't alright Rio: I don't know Buster: It obviously isn't Buster: I've never said it was Rio: I did Buster: Don't Buster: I'm not asking you to Rio: It isn't just that Rio: saying it Rio: it's everything Rio: everything I do Buster: Do things differently then Buster: You're not my doormat, you're not anyone's Rio: You're still telling me what to do Rio: that's fucked Rio: I'm fucked Rio: I've got to go Buster: Okay Rio: Don't Buster: What?

Rio: Drew Rio: he's the only other person who knows enough about this to talk to Buster: So you're going home to talk to him Rio: What did you think I meant Buster: You said you wanted to be around people, not have a heart to heart with the local drug dealer Rio: if I just wanted oblivious people near me I'd go home home Buster: That could've been what you meant as far as I've been made aware Rio: You said the conversation was over Buster: It hadn't been a conversation before then Rio: It's hard to talk about this stuff Buster: So you'd rather talk to Drew about it? That makes sense Rio: Yeah, it does Rio: I've told you, it's embarrassing it's Rio: too much Rio: with you Buster: You also said you trust me Buster: But whatever Rio: It isn't about trust Buster: If you can't talk to me about anything, whatever it is, then yeah, this conversation is over Rio: Fine Buster: Of course it is, you'd rather talk to him anyway Rio: Yeah, was waiting for that Buster: Well, I aim to please Buster: You're not gonna be disappointed Rio: Cute Buster: Yeah, I know Rio: Don't worry about it Buster: Why would I? Buster: I'm only in love with you, like Rio: I am sorry about that Rio: really Buster: Don't fucking say that to me Rio: What do you want me to say, Buster Rio: I am Buster: You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, you know that Buster: Why would I ever wanna hear that? Buster: You're not a mistake I've made, none of this is anything to apologise for Buster: Fucking hell Rio: You might not want to hear it but I want to say it because Rio: it breaks my heart that that's true Buster: I don't wanna hear it 'cause it's bullshit Rio: Not to me Buster: Yeah to you, 'cause this isn't what you really think, it's what that cunt thinks & has tried to make you think Rio: I'm a mess Rio: why would I wish that on you Buster: You're got no more shit than anyone else has Buster: Why would you want me to be alone? Rio: I don't want you to be alone Buster: Well, I don't wanna be with anyone but you so if you're gonna push me away, you clearly do Rio: No I don't Rio: it's just not that easy Buster: I want you, forever, no matter what, it's that simple as far as I'm concerned Buster: There's nothing you can say that'll change my mind Buster: & There's even less that cunt could say Rio: I'm sorry Rio: everything is shit Buster: No it's not, he is Buster: But I'm gonna kill him Rio: He always knows what to say Buster: It's not gonna happen anymore Rio: It's like Rio: the way he says things Rio: like he knows me better than anyone Rio: even me Buster: He doesn't know you, Rio Buster: He's just knows what works Buster: On literally one part of you Rio: It shouldn't work Rio: I should be stronger Buster: It ain't about strength Buster: We've all got shit can be exploited Rio: I swear Rio: I ignore him so much Rio: whatever he's saying or doing Buster: I know Buster: That's strength, babe Rio: Just sometimes, when I already don't feel all that great Rio: it's easier to listen Rio: or harder to ignore, idk Buster: If anyone understands how easy it is to give into negative impulses or self destructive bullshit, it's me, yeah Buster: You can always talk to me Rio: It's like Rio: I just want to be better Rio: you've seen too many of my worsts Buster: Don't do it for me, I already think you're the fucking best Buster: Nobody has ever made me feel like you make me feel Buster: They've never even tried Rio: I want it for myself too, obviously Rio: I wanna be the person you see Buster: Then obviously I'll do whatever I can to help you Buster: I know I'm too blunt & I make everything black & white & I'll never understand what you saw in him or half the shit that's happened 'cause of but I'll do anything for you Rio: Attention Rio: that's what I saw in him Rio: he was always at the same parties, he was nice to me, you know Buster: Well, alright I'll correct myself then, 'cause I do understand that Rio: It wasn't supposed to be deeper than that Buster: Him wanting it to be more than that is the only thing I can't blame him for Buster: 'Cause you're perfect Rio: Buster Buster: Rio Rio: I still don't know why you like me Rio: but I'm glad you do Buster: I love you & I'm going to forever Rio: you can't help that Rio: but you could choose not to like me Buster: That'd be a bad choice & I'm not making 'em anymore Buster: & You do know all the reasons why Buster: I'm not gonna let you forget just 'cause that's what he wants Buster: Who the fuck is he? We get what we want Rio: Yeah Rio: ugh Rio: no chance we can forget this ever happened, I suppose? Buster: Nah, but I won't hold it against you that it did Rio: Alright Rio: that's fair Buster: & It won't happen again after I kill him so Rio: I wanna think about you now Rio: not him Buster: Okay Buster: Are you back yet? Rio: Yeah Buster: Is that where you wanna be still? Buster: I can get you another cab if not Rio: I'll stay here Rio: I'd still rather have people nearby Rio: but I don't wanna talk to him now Buster: Is Indie home? Rio: Yeah Rio: school night Rio: must be planning on going Buster: Helping her with her homework won't be as fun but she'll cheer you up Rio: Yeah, normalcy is welcome Rio: if not the absolute ideal, obviously Buster: I'll allow it Buster: That kind of understanding god, like Rio: Why I love you Buster: Yeah Rio: You know I love you Rio: don't ever doubt it Buster: Don't you ever doubt it Buster: That I love you & you're worthy of me Rio: I know Buster: There's a reason you're the only girlfriend I've ever had & it's not that I just really wanted to keep it in the fam Rio: 😂 Rio: Don't make me laugh Buster: Your laugh is cute & you can't stop me Rio: You're cute Rio: I missed you Buster: I miss you Buster: Just come & move in for this month, yeah?

Is it possible to ask for a DVD commentry for Chisolm's 7 for either the planning the heist scene in chapter 3, from "I can't believe you" to 'And they all went back into the casino, getting ready for the final sprint' in chapter 10 or the faraday/vasquez scene in chapter 8? This fic is one of my favourite fics of all time, you kept me on the edge of my seat untill the end and how it all came together in the end was beautiful. Thank you so much

Thanks for the lovely ask, and sorry about the wait! I went with the “I can’t believe you” scene:)

For this chapter, and the Billy ‘twist’, hopefully the audience would still be unsure about Billy’s motivations, right up until Red drops out of the ceiling and says “nice shot”. I wanted it to be believable that Billy might have sold them all out if he’d had a good enough reason to, that reason being getting out of Bogue’s employ. I’d hoped that would be just believable enough to work as a ‘con the audience’ moment, although if no one fell for it, you are all genre-savvy readers and I’m not too put out about it haha. But what about Sam and Goody getting arrested??? Read on for the behind-the-scenes!

“I can’t believe you.”

“Goody –”

“I cannot. Believe you.”

Let’s play a game where we see how many italics I use in the following conversation lol

The two armed guards escorted Sam and Goodnight through the halls, their rifle butts digging into their backs. But Goodnight could barely feel them he was fuming so hard.

“I didn’t think he’d –”

“You weren’t thinking at all!”

Writing Goody chewing people out is immense fun, and I’m not sure why lol but he’s entertaining when ‘righteously indignant’

“Hey!” said one of the guards as they passed another group of security, prodding Goodnight in the back with his gun. “Keep it moving.”

Goodnight clamped his mouth shut furiously as they walked through the halls. The taller of the guards went ahead and pushed open a door to the outside, leading them into an parking lot for the loading dock, empty at this time of night. And the second the door swung shut behind them, Goodnight was twisting his hands out of the pair of fake handcuffs, and swinging around murderously to Sam.

I’m really not sure how many people actually fell for the whole ‘twist’ but I hope the fake handcuffs made people sit up straighter like ‘oooh!’:P

“I am going to kill you, Sam Chisolm!”

Sam worked his wrists out of his own handcuffs, actually looking sheepish.

“Okay, so maybe I didn’t think he’d get that mad.”

Goodnight let out a hysterical laugh and threw up his hands.

“Well what was your master plan if he did? Nothing! Jesus Christ, if Faraday hadn’t stepped in when he did…and what kind of alternate universe have I stumbled into where Faraday has more good sense than you?!”

“Thanks man,” Faraday said amiably behind him, breathing hard as he pulled off his SWAT-style helmet.

“Fuck me, how do real guards wear these things?” said Vasquez who was doing the same beside him, wiping his brow.

okay and I hope this was another ‘ayyyyy!’ moment lol. While I didn’t want to copy the whole SWAT team ruse from the original Ocean’s 11 for the actual heist (because that’s unoriginal) I did want to pay homage to it. And I thought Faraday and Vas would be good candidates for anonymous burly SWAT team members. And I hope this moment was at least somewhat surprising and satisfying lol

Sam looked like he was about to ask them something but Goodnight jabbed a finger in his chest, eyes blazing.

“Oh I am not done with you,” he said to Sam, and Faraday and Vasquez looked at each other and started backing slowly away from them, the boots of their guard costumes clunking heavily.

lol, subtle

“Goody, I’m sorry –”

“Sorry?! For what? Nearly giving me a heart attack? Or for being a goddamn idiot and deciding to give the bad guy a speech! Who does that? Christ man, even I know how to keep my mouth shut when we’re almost out!”

Goodnight has watched his share of movies and is much more genre-savvy than Sam lol. But I needed that link to the movie of Sam losing his cool

“He started talking about family and I just got mad!”

“Well no wonder you don’t want to make jobs personal if you’re gonna act like a damn hooligan every time! Tell me, Samuel, was it personal enough for you when he had a gun to your head?”

There’s this wonderful moment in Ocean’s 11 where Carl Reiner addresses Danny as “Daniel” in a beautifully warning tone, and the ‘Samuel’ here is my own little personal callback to it

“Well I didn’t think there’d be a gun down there now, did I?” Sam protested indignantly. And then his forehead creased. “Hey, did you know Billy was going to have a gun?”

This fic is peppered with references to other heist movies, and Sam’s general disapproval of using guns comes from The Italian Job. It was also a convenient link for why Goodnight’s character probably felt comfortable working with him post job-gone-wrong

“No,” Goodnight said honestly. Billy had shown up right on time, exactly as they’d planned, ready to ‘catch them in the act’. But the gun hadn’t been in the plan. Sam didn't like guns on jobs and he'd told Billy to just corner them without one, but Billy must have not wanted to chance it. He’d certainly seemed regretful though when he was apologizing for it, right before calling Bogue –

My rather abrupt explanation for the cliffhanger at the end of chapter 9, all like ‘HEY GUYS, HERE’S WHY THEY WERE STILL ACTING SURPRISED WHEN THEY SAW BILLY, IT WAS JUST BECAUSE OF THE GUN, DID I FOOL ANY OF YOU??’ lol honestly this fic probably works best if you read it all in one go, but there was no way I was going to write the whole thing before posting, given how long it was

“Oh god, Billy…” Goodnight said, his face going white at them having left Billy down there with Bogue probably still in a murderous rage.

“ – is fine,” Vasquez said from over by the wall where he was tapping on a series of screens while working his way out of his fake SWAT suit at the same time. “He and Red are running the money through the ducts now.”

not even pretending he wasn’t eavesdropping lol. Also how many screens does Vasquez even have on him?? Lol let’s pretend they’re small screens that...fit together somehow. I have no image what kind of set up he’s working on here but wtv

Goodnight immediately let out a breath, his legs suddenly feeling weak. “Oh thank god.”

Vasquez touched a finger to his ear, listening on one of his other lines, and nodded. “Red says that Billy says the gun was empty anyways.”

Oh. They all relaxed at that, realizing they probably should have assumed that in the first place. But then Goody was whirling around at Sam again.

“See?” he said, waving his hands. “Billy has common sense. Where’s yours?”

“Goody…”

“Sam, you scared the hell out of me,” Goodnight said desperately.

“Goody.”

“What?”

“Thanks,” Sam said quietly. “For trying to get Bogue’s attention back to you down there anyways.”

“Not like it did much good –”

“But thank you. Really.”

Sam was looking at Goodnight with genuine gratitude for Goodnight’s attempts to save him from Bogue. Goodnight deflated.

“Yeah well,” he grumbled. “You went to prison and I didn’t. Least I could do.”

“You never owed me for that.”

“Well I especially don’t now.”

Sam genuinely doesn’t think Goodnight owes him, since he feels responsible for their last job getting derailed. But Goodnight is definitely still guilty, so narratively they did need something to balance the scales in their relationship, hence Goodnight attempting to get Sam off the hook and take the heat

Sam gave him a small smile and clapped him on the shoulder as he turned back to Vasquez and Faraday who were now in their black team outfits too. Vasquez was tapping away on a screen, and Faraday was fiddling with a keypad on another door that would bring them back into the casino. Both were acting like they hadn’t been eavesdropping on every word.

“Vas, how’re those files coming?”

“Almost done splicing the surveillance footage…” Vasquez said, voice muffled by a stylus between his teeth. “Saving…and sending…now.”

The ‘send the surveillance footage to the real FBI to pin the robbery on Bogue’ was a little haphazardly done of me but IN MY DEFENCE, THIS FIC HAD AN AWFUL LOT GOING ON IN IT. And I felt an elaborate explanation of them setting him up would have slowed the action down, especially at this stage in the game. The last act should be the briskest imo (oh what do you know, ‘briskest’ seems to be a word)

Sam nodded. “Alright. Red and Billy should have gotten about a quarter of the money through by now. Let’s go start putting it together.”

They nodded and went to the door Faraday was working on. He’d pulled out the wires from the keypad, rubbed them together, and the light blinked red then green. He held it open for them and Vasquez and Sam walked through. Goodnight was about to follow, but then he hesitated.

Faraday just ‘hot-wiring’ a door lol. I don’t know how technology works, but I’m not about to let that stop me

“Josh.”

Faraday glanced back curiously and Goodnight shuffled his feet a little.

“You come up with that suit-camera stuff down there on the fly?”

Faraday shrugged. “Seemed like a good idea at the time.”

Can’t buy portrayals of ‘dumb Faraday’ tbh. He has a lot of bluster but I really like writing him as pretty sharp underneath

“Well it was,” Goodnight said quietly. And then he looked back up guiltily, and he and Faraday both spoke at the same time:

“Look, I’m sorry I snapped at you the other night –”

“Sorry I was such a dick to you on the last job –”

“– no really, I was being a jerk and shouldn’t have said all that –”

“ – and it was stupid of me to say that to Billy –”

“ – and I feel like I’ve misjudged you and –”

“ – and I still feel bad about the last time, really, but I was an asshole back then –“

“ – and you were great down there, really, and –”

“ – well, a bigger asshole back then, and –”

“ – and I just wanted to say sorry.”

I felt there had to be a proper reconciliation for them, given their tension in this fic. I can’t say I blame Goodnight for snapping at him in the earlier chapter, but I just like everybody to be friendssss

They stared at each other hesitantly, and then each cracked small smiles.

“Square?” Goodnight asked sticking out his hand.

“Square,” Faraday said relieved as he shook it. And then he took on a devilish grin as he yanked Goodnight towards him, catching him in a headlock.

oh you. Well it was sweet while it lasted lol

“Gerroff me –“

“Aww, Robicheaux, you do like me!”

“Not anymore –”

“Yo!” Vasquez said, sticking his head back out the door. “What’s the hold up?”

“We’re kissing and making up,” Faraday said, pressing a messy kiss to a squirming Goodnight’s forehead.

“Hot,” Vasquez said patiently. “Now would you get in here? We’re on the clock here, muchachos.”

idk why, but the flow of ‘“Hot,” Vasquez said patiently’ amuses me very much. He’s gonna have a lot to put up with ahead of him lol, but he’s extremely up for it

“Si, señor,” Faraday said smartly as he released Goodnight. And they all went back into the casino, getting ready for the final sprint.

side note, I’d liked to have worked in a side-plot where it turns out Faraday is completely fluent in Spanish lol, he just likes messing with people/being underestimated. But maybe I’ll save that for another fic:P 

Thanks again for the ask!
