#seeing them in new projects together would heal me i think and the more projects the better

[henley-reeves]

My absolute favourite part of watching any David Tennant and Catherine Tate interview/appearance/press is Catherine Tate delivering something ridiculously funny and David Tennant next to her absolutely losing it and about to leave this dimension. Their energy is unmatched.

[sordidmusings]

mihawk strikes me as the type to hide any hickies that he got but admire them in private, shanks would shamelessly show them off in public, while robin is more casual and doesn't get embarrassed if someone points it out and says point blank that she made out with you and it was very nice (sanji is crying).

YOURE RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Also that ending is sENDING ME DJFJFJFJFFK if you’re afab then Sanji would definitely be stuck struggling if those were tears of joy for knowing it happened or tears of pain that he’ll never be a part of it. Probably more of the latter. If you’re amab then those are 100% grade A, bonafide Tears of Despair 💀

Mihawk, Shanks, and Robin Hickey Headcanons

Thinking about the Mihawk, you’d have to be Smart about where you put those hickies (thighs thighs thighs-) since he’s always Tits Out and Collar POPPED. I think if he showed up with a fully buttoned shirt or turtleneck it would be more suspicious than him saying the bruises were from training 💀 (I mean maybe it was true - you could’ve been training him to let you fully take charge for once 🤷🏼‍♀️). The thought of him admiring them is what really grabs me in this. I like to think the betrayal that Oda hints at in Mihawk’s background is related to a past love (many good daydreams from this lol) so him healing enough from that to take the time to admire a mark of intimacy?? Feel satisfaction looking at a physical reminder that you belong to each other?? Find comfort in being your partner and enjoying being wanted and owned by you??? Happy brain 🫠🫠🫠

Shanks being the resident manwhore is Gospel dude and I fuckin LOVE him for that 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 here for the energy and the good times lol I imagine that he just showed them first cuz he didn’t care to hide them. Why would it matter?? It’s obvious he’s a man with a large appetite for debauchery both light and heavy and they’re all adults on the ship so there’s no problem. Then he found he enjoyed all the jokes, whether in his favor or at his expense, whenever his crew caught a peep of an exceptionally dark or large one or an excessive art project coloring his neck and chest. But once he got with you he enjoyed it even more. He was proud edging on smug whenever others saw the marks you’ve left on him. He got to have you and they didn’t. Better yet they also got to see just how much you enjoy him. Why would he ever hide that??

R O B I N 😩 I HAVE A NEED OKOK AND OML I WAS CACKLING AT THE “and it was very nice” HDHFHFJD SO HER AND SO FUNNY 💀💀💀 imagine that conversation being how the crew finds out you’re together. They just thought you were Close Friends. And I mean they’re not wrong, there’s just some extra activities. And maybe a new type of devotion to go along with the friend one. Whoopsies 🤷🏼‍♀️. Honestly maybe even extra points if it’s also the convo where you get together because the making out just kind of Happened and you’ve been agonizing over the “what does it mEAN???” and “how do I talk to her about this???” Then she’s just like “yeah we kissed and it was great :)”. Oh so this isn’t a big secret?? She’s not ashamed?? It was great 👀 over the howls of Sanji you manage to ask her to meet with you after breakfast for a convo (and more time enjoying some “very nice” activities)

Complete side note on Robin - since sensation but not wounds seem to transfer from her copies and extra limbs/etc. that would be insanely convenient to go buck wild while also being able to be completely discrete. Of course you don’t get the same advantage 😔 which I’m sure she’d exploit to have fun watching you react to them being pointed out by the loud mouthed captain like every time (“Luffy I tOLD you already - we weren’t leaving you out of sparring!”) or maybe a nosy navigator heheheh

And on an angstier note, having gone so so so long without love, I bet physical reminders of any kind help her feel like it’s real and that’s she’s not just going to wake up and find out it was all a dream. There’s also a promise in visible proofs of love, sometimes even ones as ~scandalous~ as hickies, that you want that love and you’re proud of that love. I think Robin would find a lot of solace in anything that helps her know you’re happy and proud to love her.

Really enjoying these and may do some little vignettes of them! Undecided if I wanna throw some others in there 🤔 maybe if any Grabs Me while I think more about it haha or if anyone is possibly interested 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you for sending in your thoughts dear anon❣️I’ve had so much fun with them!!!! Sending love and hugs 🤍🤍🤍

Part of my little celebration!

[weebsinstash]

Omg more Viktor and Jayce pls that was so good

I keep gravitating back towards the scene where they have their first huge disagreement, the whole "I'M from the Undercity" conversation, and I still feel like a disabled Reader who is from the Undercity is one of my favorite routes to go to pair Viktor up with

I keep feeling drawn to scenarios where Reader meets Viktor but not Jayce and you inadvertently, unintentionally, cause a big rift between the two of them because Jayce says or does something fucked up to you that stabs Viktor in the back in the same way as that conversation

Like could you even imagine if Viktor is already forming feelings for you and here's Jayce, talking about how he doesn't trust you, you aren't like the two of them, you're too anxious and twitchy like you're planning something, how Viktor needs to stop letting you hang around. Just envision in your mind Jayce just REALLY REALLY being riled up and saying something like, "I'm tired of having to worry about them stealing something while they're constantly just limping around--" and here's Viktor immediately coming to not just your defense but his own, "'Limping around'?LIMPING AROUND? Is that really what I heard tou say just now?!" like he's absolutely furious, because uh, what the FUCK is that supposed to mean, Jayce?

Jayce getting jealous when Viktor sidelines a project they're working on together because he wants to help you with a brace or he's inventing some sort of mobility aid for you, and Jayce being absolutely convinced you're taking advantage of Viktor and will stab him in the back. Jayce being jealous and feeling replaced when Viktor is constantly spending time with you to troubleshoot the aids he's built for you. Jayce really itching to work on this project but he can't find Viktor anywhere and he's running all over town and he catches you two... having lunch together. He's jealous. He's angry. He's feelin' a lil possessive for sure.

But also like. Reader feeling... insecure when Viktor heals his leg. I was just reading that this man is 5'10??? So you go from seeing him using his cane, kind of slouching at times, to having him stand at his full height before you, completely healed? It has you feeling... small in more ways than one to see that he's just... gotten better while YOU haven't, or maybe never will. Absolutely 100% you're happy for him but... you just wish you weren't dragging him down more than ever before now that you and him... are on even less equal footing than before

But then I also think of how Viktor's journey slowly corrupts him, or distorts his thoughts, and how a yandere obsession could... pile on top of that

He's healed his leg, he's feeling the rush and the high of running and having a fully functional body for the first time in his life. His chronic pain is gone. He keeps his cane but he's no longer REQUIRED to use it. He's high on life itself, like the entire world has opened up to him all over again. There are so many possibilities now. He feels like he can do anything he can put his mind to. And, of course, YOU are one of the first things he can think about. Now he can do so much more to help you! Protect you! Eliminate any dangers to you!

I couldn't decide if Viktor would want to heal the Reader's leg much like his own or if he would just keep you as you are. I mean, like if he could choose, make a distinction between helping that one singular part of yourself versus what he was doing to people like Salo. Maybe, through some sort of means, you were also touched by the Arcane, and you're able to keep your sanity while it heals your fragile body

(Mmm.... yandere Viktor who can remember you across timelines or gets glimpses of other realities... I love me a good timeline/multiverse "I'll keep going through this loop as many times as it takes to save you" oh wait shit you know what just happened, unlocked a new love for Ekko, we're gonna come back for him later)

Reader meeting Old Viktor or meeting him much in the same way young Jayce did because Viktor still loves you across timelines and he wants to keep every possible vestige of you safe, maybe with you even meeting a version of him who only learned the error of his ways after you had died. Old Viktor giving you something for protection from your current Viktor, maybe even giving you the rune or key to keeping your sanity to be safely healed by the arcane. It being Reader's destiny that meet Viktor and you both change each other's lives. But. Also. Old Viktor giving you something that actually helps young Viktor capture you or something though, too 👀 old Viktor needing to keep the loop going and being the first step on your long journey of becoming the apple of his own eye.

The absolute timeline fuckery potential of the catalyst to you meeting Viktor, being fucking Viktor. Old Viktor gives you some trinket and when you meet "your" version for the first time, the trinket is the first thing he notices, or something like, you drop The Thingy and it's while you're chasing that thing as it rolls or bounces or whatever, that's what causes you to collide with Viktor and meet him for the first time

Ngl.... the slightly mentally broken version of Jayce that's all scruffy and lugs that hammer around is kinda the only version of him I find like, HOT hot, and god 🥴 he has, juicier plot potential than the earlier versions of Jayce as well

To just spit it out, Viktor going through his whole Glorious Evolution and having his takeover but, deciding to keep Jayce and yourself as you are. Mentally broken newly born gods can have their beloved humans for forced companions/pets, as a treat. You and Jayce growing closer in your captivity. Jayce with everything he's lost developing new unhealthy attachments to one of the only things he has left: you. Viktor who may or may not be varying levels of indifferent or outright approving if Jayce were to be physically affectionate with you, developing to outright intimacy.

Who knows, maybe Jayce is sent through some Inception-style Homura-level timeline fuckery where he either learns the importance to the timeline and fate of the world that you're kept safe (which he might take to extreme degrees in effort of trying to do good) or he may just be driven mad with grief seeing so many outcomes where you die, and it's through these branching choices and timelines that he develops deeper feelings for you

But also!!! The version of Viktor who is going around healing people who has not gone full evil borderline cyborg yet also had his own dynamic to him! Live with your yandere lover on his peaceful hippie commune while everyone, like, grows crops for the needy and does borderline habitat for humanity level charity stuff but also there's this constant underlying unshakeable feeling everyone is a little off and cold, like physically cold? Like imagine you and Viktor having a touch-heavy love language because he's been your friend and helping you with your leg and a lot of that involved him needing to touch you, but also for you to trust him and lean on him and the other way around, and once Jayce revives him, the very first thing you notice when you hold his hand again for the first time is how much colder he is. And thus everyone else in the commune has that same sort of... 'something is off' hairs on the back of your neck 'this is the kind of shit dogs bark at' just all around unexplainable bad feeling (because somehow you can subconsciously sense thst everyone is. You know. Kind of. Kind of dead and it's not entirely clear if these are the original people or somehow copies of their consciousnesses)

Wait what's that? You say you don't feel comfortable being boxed in all the time not being able to leave the area and the vibes are honestly just creepy bad here and you're not exactly sure you agree with some of the stuff Viktor is talking about anymore? Did I say "peaceful hippie commune"? Sorry, I meant to say, "dedicated cult hivemind where the second Viktor even remotely suspects you of ANYTHING he has both the people keeping an eye open and he is watching you through their eyes and if you make it known to ANYONE that you're going to leave or escape or whatever the situation is, everyone will drop everything to stop you like it's the fucking Truman Show"

Some HEINOUS fuckshit like, you've got precious items to help you survive or escape hidden under your clothes and you're about to make your getaway and, oh a voice behind you! It's a little girl Viktor healed :) and she's oh so innocently and sweetly asking what you're doing and how nervous you are makes it immediately obvious that you're up to something. You laugh and try and make up a believable lie as soon as you can, "oh, i was feeling really bored so I wanted to jog around!" and she's just like "oh okay! But the jogging paths are the other way, though?" and she's being completely innocent about it. But. You take like. Just a little toooo long to respond, and suddenly she's just, POSTURE SUDDENLY JERKING UPRIGHT, the voice of a full grown man rising up from her throat,

"Please turn back, my love. I would hate to have to chase you"

A little over six weeks and his knee heals only for his breathing to act up. It may have been a handful of decades—coming up on a century, even—but he never did forget how it felt to wheeze through the night.

Steve sees it coming when Dr. Youssef tells him his lungs are taking a turn.

The year 2032 brings about the Summer Olympics, the coldest winter of the decade, and an end to Project Rebirth.

Bucky is still trying to piece together his memories, but at least he now had Steve with him.

Steve and Bucky goes for lunch with Becca. Steve and Bucky dealing with memory loss. Steve and Bucky being mutually pining idiots.

Summers in C. are as endless and hazy as when they were kids. All James wants is to play his part well enough that his mother stops looking at him with that twist of regret in her smile.

The only thing to break the sun-soaked monotony is the arrival of the new summer intern. While the rest of the household—and half the village—fawn over Steve Roger’s movie star looks and understated charm, James finds him aloof and his polite interest near unbearable.

But as they collide in vulnerable moments, the sparks of frustration ignite something neither has the power to stop.

Do you think Jonathan understood what happened that day David first stepped into his father’s court?

The Winter Soldier finds old fantasies of Steve in his memory, and takes them for reality.

He's got two days to sort out all his mixed-up history, before he puts himself back in cryo freeze. Harder still, he's got to convince Steve to let him do it.

▪️Preberseeschießen by Ginny_Potter (@hipsterdiva)

Bucky takes his time, ignoring his comrades’ cheering and Gaiswinkler and Mariandl’s teasing. From his position, Steve only has an oblique view of Bucky’s face, which is mostly in the dark anyway – the strong line of his jaw, a smudge of grease on his cheekbone, a sweaty lock of hair curling on his forehead, his mouth pouting in concentration. Steve itches to draw him, to take out his battered sketchbook and reproduce that instant of perfect imperfection. Steve itches to touch him, push back his unruly curls, wipe away the smudge on his cheekbone, cup his face in his hands and…

Bucky breathes out and shoots. The bullet hits water… and there it is, the zapping sound of paper tearing.

The light turns on and off three times. Third circle. Just a lick out of bullseye.

The Howlies explode in cheers.

Or, the Howling Commandos play a shooting game with the Austrian Resistance and Steve has lots of unresolved feelings about himself, his new body, and his changing relationship with Bucky. In other words, comrades are comrades, angst looms, and Steve feels.

🔹Till there were no more wolves in the West

by @dharmasharks

“I’m afraid of a lot of things, Steve,” Bucky says softly.

“But this thing sticking in my heart—the part of me that’s yours? It is the best part of me. Maybe the only good part.” His rueful smile wavers. He makes a pained expression.

“What if it’s the only good part?” he asks.

Two Brooklyn boys find themselves aboard an orphan train headed west in 1854. Across farmland, war, and the lawless frontier, a childhood promise helps them find each other again.

This should just be two friends getting off after the burlesque show. This should just be two pals both thinking about the girl. That would probably be okay, Bucky thinks.

But then he ruins it all when he says,

"Come here," and puts a hand out to tug on Steve's shoulder.

(Or: Sometimes, Bucky and Steve lend each other a hand, literally. Bucky tries not to be weird about it, but he's always been bad at controlling his thoughts about Steve.)

Velaris Memorial Hospital

A Grey's Anatomy x TTPD inspired Three Brothers and Three Sisters Three Part Fanfiction

Hey. Life is horrible and scary. I want to share a teaser for a project I have been pouring my heart and soul into that I hope some of you might find some joy and reprieve in.

These stories are tightly woven together and designed to be read in order. Fesyand, Nessian, and Elriel's journey's will be posted individually and chronologically, and occur on an overlapping but staggered timeline. However, there are incredibly heavy themes and topics that may not be suitable for all readers. I will do my best to ensure each individual story can be enjoyed on its own if there are topics you would rather avoid. Please read the content warning for all three stories and take care of yourself first. This collection is coming soon if I can pull myself out of this black hole, but here is a synopsis of each story ahead!

Part One:

Feyre Archeron is an art therapist for the children's cancer wing at Velaris Memorial Hospital. After leaving her abusive fiancé and moving back in with her sisters, her plans to heal and move on with peace and privacy go up in flames when women begin to come forward with sexual harassment allegations against her ex, Tamlin Thornwood.

If she doesn't come forward with her own story of abuse and testify against the man who harmed her and so many other women, he stands a chance at winning his countersuit for defamation and wrongful termination. Terrified of what her patient's families will think of her if they find out the truth, struggling to forgive herself, and suprised to be falling for the absolute wrong man, Feyre has to dig deeper than she ever has before to find her strength.

Rhysand Noctis is the owner and CEO of Eventide Enterprises. After losing his mother to cancer, he has felt adrift. No amount of money and acclaim has been able to give him the sense of home and belonging he has lost.

When an old family rival, Tamlin Thornwood, is tangled up in a scandal and lawsuits, Rhysand learns that Velaris Memorial Hospital is in trouble. The only non-profit hospital in Velaris and the place that cared for his mother has lost all of their donors and board members. Rhys decides to purchase the hospital and dedicate his time to restoring its reputation and making it a safe place for women and the community of Velaris to work and receive affordable care.

A chance encounter sends Feyre and Rhys colliding towards each other before they realize how inextricably their personal and professional lives are already intertwined.

CW: Domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, child death, trauma, mental health, explicit sexual content.

*Additional note: I don't typically like to use the term "anti" in this fandom, but it is best to be exceptionally clear that this is an abundantly anti-Tamlin piece. If seeing this character portrayed as a serial abuser makes you feel upset or uncomfortable in any way, please protect yourself (and me) by skipping this one.

Part Two:

Nesta Archeron doesn't need anyone to take care of her. After losing both her parents at age eighteen and becoming legal guardian to her two younger sisters, she gave up her dreams of going to law school and worked her way up from from an assistant with nothing more than a high school diploma and unmatched grit to become the head of public relations at Velaris Memorial Hospital.

When her younger sisters ex-fiancé scandalizes the hospital and leaves them without funding or a board of directors, she has to work closely with the new ownership, Eventide Enterprises, to save the hospital and prevent it from becoming for-profit like SkyView, their rival hospital in the financial district. She has full confidence in herself and her plan. However, Eris Vanserra, the head of PR and legacy staff at SkyView, is out for blood after Nesta won over the youngest Vanserra to Velaris Memorial and got an op ed published on the negative outcomes associated with for-profit care. That, and she now has to answer to Cassian- a man she has already sworn to hate before learning who he was, and is making her job- and life- an absolute pain in the ass.

Cassian is the lead financial strategist and project manager after Eventide Enterprises purchased Velaris Memorial Hospital. After having to drop out of college before sophomore year to deal with the death of his mother, he struggles to overcome the chip on his shoulder being in an industry where name, money, and education is everything. Restoring the reputation and the financial security of Velaris Memorial Hospital is not only personal, but professionally the largest responsibility he has had in his career thus far. Everything is on the line.

Complicating matters is his reliance on Nesta Archeron, the steely and fiery PR director working side by side with him to ensure the Starfall Ball is a massive success and wins back the hospitals donors. There is no denying that the difficulty maintaining their professional lines is fueled by both hate and attraction. But as they continue to work closely together, the layers peel back and they learn that they have more in common than they thought. Family secrets, generational trauma, and their deepest shames are somehow safe in each other's hands. However, lines are crossed that might be impossible to come back from.

CW: Extortion, blackmail, discussions of suicide, trauma, mental health, explicit sexual content.

Part Three:

Elain Archeron has always strived for perfection. After competing in pageants her entire childhood and teen years, she shocked everyone by using her scholarship to relentlessly pursue a career in the medical field as a labor and delivery nurse instead of fulfilling her mothers dream to go on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant.

She spent her early twenties working instead of dating, but her plan to get married and start a family is back on track now that has the "perfect" fiancé, Graysen Nolan.

However- the grueling hours, cracks in her relationship, and anxiety over what her life will look like when she becomes a Nolan begins to sink in. It's not easy for Elain to change her plans or take a leap, but when a tragic accident sends her life into a tailspin, she is forced to pick apart the shattered pieces of her soul and learn what unrealized dreams are truly hers and what belongs to the ghosts of her past.

Azriel Singer is an award winning photojournalist who has spent his life travelling the world. He has lived for the thrill of never knowing what comes next, being on the front lines of danger and history in the making. He is used to going to sleep in one city and waking up with a contract on the other side of the world, not knowing if he'll be headed into a war zone or march for justice.

When his brother Rhysand hires him for a six month corporate contract as the photographer on retainer for Velaris Memorial Hospital as they rebuild their image, his path crosses with Elain Archeron. In so many ways, she is his opposite. She has always wanted to travel, but has never left Velaris. She has always wanted to start a family, a thought that has only ever given Azriel night sweats. And she is engaged.

Azriel and Elain wind up forming a deep friendship, creating bets with each other to help push them outside of their respective comfort zones. The more they get to know each other more deeply than anyone has before, the more they question who they are. No amount of planning and on-paper perfection could have prepared them for a connection that pushes them both beyond the narratives they've written for themselves before meeting someone who can challenge them in all the most terrifying and most fulfilling ways.

CW: Fertility issues, child abuse, infant death, parent death, medical trauma associated with car accidents, birth, and premature birth, explicit sexual content.

This is my first time writing modern AU and contemporary romance. Thank you so much to @nikachansstuff and @rosanna-writer for offering to beta!

I truly hope I do it justice. I also want to reiterate that these are dark and very emotionally heavy stories. The characters will be dealing with issues that are deeply personal to me. They will sometimes be hard to understand and harder to love.

While I am not a mental health professional, I am a huge mental health advocate and that will come through in a blend of my own personal experiences and research, but mental health is extremely personal and not one size fits all. Nothing should be taken as mental health advice. Please reach out for professional help if you need, and don't give up.

This is by far the most terrifying but meaningful work I have done, and I am scared shitless and deeply excited to share it with you. This will not be for everyone, but I hope it will find where it is meant to go.

[sitp-recs]

Thank you so much for your recs—they are fantastic! I wondered if you had any for Draco and Harry becoming friends at (and eventual lovers) at Hogwarts (doesn’t have to start with 1st year, but can!). Thank you!!

Hi there! Happy you’re enjoying the recs 😊 I got a couple recs, the majority is 8th year since I don’t really read canon rewrite AUs. I hope you enjoy these!

Thermodynamic Equilibrium by DorthyAnn (T, 5k)

Harry's far too hot. Draco's always cold. And somehow against all odds, together they create a perfect equilibrium.

Good Company by Greenflares (T, 8k)

With Hermione and Ron always together, Harry's return to Hogwarts to complete his education isn't exactly fun. Somehow, it's his unlikely friendship with Malfoy that keeps him sane.

Stand Back: I'm About to Perform Archaeology by Blowfish_Diaries (E, 10k)

A new Muggle Studies professor takes the Eighth Year students to work on an archaeological excavation. In which Draco is lazy, Harry is sweaty, Hermione is drunk, and Ron turns red.

Makes Me Stronger by Lomonaaeren (E, 29k)

Rita Skeeter’s Harry James Potter: An Unnatural History is a best-seller, mostly due to the fact that Skeeter’s collaborated with a photographer who’s infused the pictures in the book with Harry’s actual memories. As Harry struggles to survive the storm consuming his eighth year at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy becomes an unexpected ally.

On Our Way by evils (E, 30k)

Draco is trying to spend the summer keeping his head down, but a repair project and a certain snowy owl have other plans for him.

Eager for the Sky by @oknowkiss (E, 35k)

It was announced, just as the Triwizard Tournament had been, at the start of term feast. A year-long, international Quidditch varsity match — the inaugural Wizarding Academy Cup. In which Harry is Hogwarts' star Seeker, Draco is on the bench, and they both have a thing or two to learn about playing for the same team.

Like Lightning at Your Fingertips by potterwatch (T, 43k)

The problem with living with another insomniac is, eventually, they find out you’re one, too. When Harry and Draco return for their eighth year, they think they’ll see very little of each other. Then McGonagall assigns them to room together. And the castle starts breaking. And there’s that thing with Potter’s magic.

The July Tree by @oknowkiss (E, 51k)

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail… nor well-meaning friends, nor questionable communication skills, nor seven years of hating each other’s guts can keep Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy from falling in love.

The Promise of Summer by Omi_Ohmy (M, 67k)

How was Harry supposed to know that coming back for eighth year would be so confusing? Everything is the same, and yet not the same. And nowhere is this more obvious than with Draco Malfoy. Harry finds himself once more watching and following Malfoy, trying to work him out. When they are drawn together to heal the castle, Harry doesn’t just find Malfoy - he also finds himself.

Azoth by @lol-zeitgeistic (E, 88k)

Now that Harry is back at Hogwarts with Hermione for eighth year, he realises that something’s missing from his life, and it either has to do with Ron, his boggart, Snape, or Malfoy. Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when one’s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; he’s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.

Helix by Saras_Girl (E, 93k)

Seven months after the end of the war, Harry is feeling lost. Fortunately, he is about to be offered an unexpected and sparkling chance to find himself again.

Changing Tides by carpemermaid (E, 109k)

Draco has spent half of his life spouting the things his father has taught him without much thought about how he feels about what he says. When he unexpectedly comes face to face with the Dark Lord, he grapples with the harsh realities of the world and struggles with his changing views on life.

Written on the Heart by who_la_hoop (E, 114k)

Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.

Twist of Fate by Oakstone730 (T, 300k)

Draco asks Harry to help him beat the Imperius curse during 4th year. The lessons turn into more than either expected. A story of redemption and forgiveness.

[howlsofbloodhounds]

How do you think Color and Something New Chara would have interacted if they got to meet each other? Like, if Color stumbled across the Something New AU in that period of time when Killer and Chara were running rampant together still.

I've been trying to figure that out, but you know way more about Color than me, so I wanna hear your opinion

If Killer were still with Chara, I can’t imagine him being willing to even listen to Color. Any doubts Color starts to raise would feel threatening, like he’s trying to take away everything Killer knows.

I think Chara would feel heavily threatened by Color, over time. Especially if they can tell that Color has the other human souls with him.

So not only would he be magically powerful, he’s also another Sans—who could serve as way to make Killer start questioning himself, and by extension, Chara, because Stage 1 would be primed to be triggered. Which means attempts to go against the Player or leave Chara.

Color would probably be pulled in a few directions—all by the souls. He’d definitely be able to recognize the hold Chara has over Killer, but I don’t know if Color is aware of Players by this point or not.

Color wouldn’t agree with anything Chara is doing, I’d say his justice and integrity would push him to be very upfront and blunt about it (which would immediately other him in Chara and Killer’s eyes) but I do think he’d seek to understand why they’re doing this.

Seeing as he was able to intuitively sense that he and his group were in danger in the Sans Hazard comics and is able to intuitively sense that Killer’s words never matched up to his actions in their more canon story, he’d probably be able to tell over time when something isn’t adding up about Chara.

He may not directly guess Player involvement, besides taking into account the possibility based on what Killer has said, but here’s the thing; Killer probably sounds indoctrinated by those who aren’t meta aware. Brainwashed, if you want to use that term.

There’s no viable proof of a Creators’ or controllers existence besides word of mouth of a few individuals.

To anyone else, it may sound like Killer is delusional, indoctrinated into some type of religion or magical thinking, coping, or using it to avoid taking responsibility for his actions or facing what happened to him, and what he did as a result.

So i think Color would be cautious about trying to understand why Chara is doing what they do, why they drag Killer with them—and he’d try to be both rational and fair without getting sucked into it.

I think he’d also help Killer realize that he doesn’t just have to go along with this stuff—-such as stepping in and protecting people when the buttercup duo want to kill them, healing people they hurt, and asking very pointed questions about Chara and Killer’s beliefs. And if Chara tries to do their usual gaslighting and manipulating, he’d call that shit out immediately and shut it down.

I also think he’d probably ask Killer specific questions—even Killer likely doesn’t trust Color at all during these moments.

Such as whenever Killer immediately neglects himself to attend to Chara, despite how Killer is literally covered in blood and injuries, asking questions like “Why can’t Chara do that themself?” and “why can’t they just Reset?” and “Do they ever take care of you?”

He’d ask similar questions to Chara, too. “Why do you need him to do that for you?” and “You have this look on your face when he does that. Remind you of something? Or..someone?” He’d point out how often Chara projects Asriel on to Killer.

But ultimately this isn’t Color’s timeline, and the human is still the most Determined, the one who controls the Resets. If his six souls don’t have the capacity to protect him, Color could still also be trapped under the human’s control. Especially if he can’t leave.

I don’t think Color could get anywhere with either Chara or Killer if the human still holds all the power there. Color would stop them from hurting eachother or anyone else, point out how the shit they do isn’t okay or normal.

I do know Color would never force or take Killer away from Chara, because it’ll only serve to make Killer distrust him and attempt to go back to Chara if he never wanted to leave in the first place, though.

So instead he’d focus on trying to protect Killer from Chara, and protect the residents of the Underground from Killer and Chara, and try to understand and get through to Chara at the same time.

Color would be something new, something real, in a way Chara wouldn’t like. Killer may just be curious—fascinated—about him, but perhaps he’d be more inclined to wanting to keep Color. If only because he’s so interesting and new and entertaining, and Killer wants to figure him out.

Perhaps Color is like a gift, or even a new partner, from them.

Killer would probably be drawn to the way Color challenges and confronts him (and Chara, something likely believed to be inconceivable to Killer), finding the arguments between Chara and Color amusing, the way he still decides to take care of him, Chara, and even the ones who aren’t real—and is still willing to stop both him and Chara whatever way he has to, regardless of the Reset.

Regardless if Color knows it’s all pointless in the end.

Killer would be inclined to challenge Color’s views right back, try to tempt him into doing what he and Chara do, or maybe try to tempt him to even take Chara’s place, if he’s already decided that he doesn’t need Chara anymore via Color’s arrival. But he’d just be trying to hand control over him back from Chara over to Color.

Which is why i think it was very important that he turned against Chara himself, and made that choice himself—even within the framework of what made him.

[elainsgirl]

every time i see a gw*nriel whine about how there’s nothing interesting about an elriel book and that elriel can’t move the plot forward i know they’re self projecting, hard.

when it comes down to it, elriel is the only interesting path forward. it would actually be new and interesting, unlike another fated mates story (the third in a row if gw*nriel were mates, fourth since they think el*cien is going to happen.) they cream their pants about it even though it’s literally the most boring thing possible, no matter which way you spin it.

gwyn has no relevance to the actual overall plot of the story. she is nesta’s friend. they don’t even want to admit she could be a lightsinger, which would be the one unique thing about her that would make her more important to the overall plot outside of nesta’s story. the only relevant part of their ship is azriel, which is probably why they constantly try to take things canonically belonging to elain and elriel and insist it actually belongs to gwyn and gw*nriel.

meanwhile, elain is made, therefore can wield made objects, which has clearly been important to the story thus far. she’s the cauldrons favorite; why, and what does that mean? why does it purr in her presence? she’s a seer, which we have never gotten the POV of before. what do her visions look like, how do they manifest for her? she has shown hints at being a spy, and that combined with her visions will be so cool to read about. this isn’t even getting into her connection to koschei, who is clearly being built up as the big-bad. none of these even have to do with az. she’s relevant entirely on her own, unlike gwyn who is currently only relevant in relation to nesta.

elain’s also on a very clear path to the first rejected mating bond, which, again, SJM has never done before, and i cannot wait to read about how it all works and what it means.

gwyn has none of this; she’s just a valkyrie, nesta’s friend, and we already got that story.

anyways, sorry for the long tirade; thankfully i think elain’s book announcement will be here before the 10 year anniversary, and since so many gw*nriels and el*ciens said they won’t read an elriel book hopefully this fandom will finally be free of them and we can all go back to just enjoying the books.

Hey anon 🫶

You explained everything so perfectly. The only people that claim elriel have 0 plot together are the ones that are purposefully ignoring huge chunks of the text, denying the plot points in favour to use it for their own ship.

I was once open-minded about Gwynriel when I first learnt about the ship, their “plot” consists of Azriel healing as he is in such a “messed up”place right now, developing feelings for Elain - another woman he can’t have. So he’ll be at the H.O.W, reflecting and recovering from his disgusting actions in the bonus all whilst Gwyn is going to be there, prancing around - teasing and challenging him. Ofc Gwyn hs no plot of her own so enter the Illyrian saviour plot where for some unknowns reason, Rhys will send Gwyn (not emerie; the actual illyrian) but her white bestie to go with Az to the camps -> there Az will heal (?) and begin to loooovvvvee his illyrian heritage - he will become bestie besties with the same people that mocked and emotionally abused him bcs why tf not. Now, again, this isn’t enough to carry an 800 paged book so enter Nesta, Gwyn for some odd unknown reason will again, help out understanding gwydion which will allow her: unmade, no connection to the cauldron, not starborn - self wield it all because Gwyn is amazing and everyone loves her. Eventually, both gwyn and az will go to the prison and BOOM. Through the power of song, singing a duet together, they will revive the prison. Az will realise “damn I love this girl so much, forget elain who I wanted to beg on my knees for, this is the girl for me, my gwynnie poo” Now ofc, none of this is original. Its plotpoints stolen from other characters and ships - as you mentioned.

I don’t even care anymore bcs gwynriels can yap about whatever gwynriel book they want. Sjm clearly said the spinoffs focus on the sisters and side characters from the og series which, Gwyn is not part off. Therefore to me - she is irrelevant unless she plays a role in the snowwhite retelling regards to elriel. A lot of antis will get a reality check soon and im all here for it.

Gwynriel doesn’t even fit the parallels and patterns sjm has used for Feyre’s and Nesta’s story which again, disproves gwynriel to me. Gwyn will not be a spy. Its Elain. Gwyn has nothing to do with TruthTeller or Gwydion. Elain and Az do. Gwyn has nothing to do with the 8 pointed star. Nesta & the archerons do. Gwyn has nothing to do with the prison. Elain and Az do. Gwyn isn’t needed to smooth things out in the continent with Mor. Elain is perfect for it. Gwyn is not an archeron. Elain is. Gwyn was not part off the og series or even acofas. Elain and Azriel - even Emerie were. Gwyn did not have 2 bonuses focusing on her. Elain does. Gwyn has nothing to do with the cauldron. Elain & Az do.

Its that simple to work out. You just don’t have to be biased.

The fact we are going to get Elains book announcement in the next 6 months(hopefully, I can’t wait any longer) is giving me so much excitement. I’ve been seeing a lot of antis say how boring or uninteresting elriels book will be and how they won’t read it which THANK GOD. Their disrespectfulness and entitlement is showing and this fandom? Is desperately in need of a cleanse. Hopefully elains book announcement alone will wash out the toxic antis 😌

this for txt plssssss

Was waiting for someone to ask for my other faves. Let's do this!

Disclaimer: No facts, all alleged. I am reading sexual energy here and it helps understand who they are as a person. Now, I am going to expand on this question and ask about their sexual energy. Now, sexual energy can be about matters of sex, but it can also be harnessed into creative projects as well and extended to other areas of our lives. Now, I do not see the act of sex as dirty, perverted like some of ya’ll do, it is a beautiful act, if done right, between two people. How one approaches sex connects to their past, their upbringing, aspects of themselves, and any healing that may need to be done, so I wanted to answer this question to see where they fall in that spectrum. This energy can be used for their creative work as an idol as well. The reading will go into both aspects. This will be listed in the order of the question that was asked to the best I can by their sexual energy.

I will keep them by age order, kind of hard for me to go from MTL, all seemed to have good qualities, they were my favorite so far when it comes to sexual energy.

Yeonjun (The Fool/8 of Cups/Knight of Wands)

He gave me a lot of cards besides the three I highlighted. He has his ups and down. I can see a bit of inexperience, maybe that may have disappointed partners, but he also has a carefree mindset, open and willing to try new things and maybe learn. He may also lack emotional connection when it comes to sex, or maybe he gets bored and needs some new excitement. So, I can see him getting bored with partner after a while. It gets stale for him, and he needs something new. So, boy can be a fuckboy. I mean the Knight of Wands is my fuck boy card. Pretty much in it for sex, not really into it emotionally, or cares about an emotional connection. He also gave me the 5 of wands and swords, so he likes a bit of banter, a bit of back and forth, maybe likes both to dirty talk and do that stuff. He gave me the Sun too, he definitely enjoys the act and does have fun, and has a playful approach to it, lastly Queen of Swords, I see him liking woman that are a bit cold, not emotionally available, and he may like them to communicate to him, maybe what they like or don't like. I just heard talk dirty to me lol Boy is a freak, okay, moving on. I love him. I think he would be pretty good in bed from what I got here. But don't expect any emotional connection. Now, how this play with his creative pursuits, I see him pursuing things of passion, but he struggles to emotionally connect with his work, and can get bored with that he gets.

Soobin (2 of Cups/9 of Swords/3 of Pentacles)

He's cute! He would be the one that likes an emotional connection, so sex would be with someone he loves. He wants to be a sweet and intimate act. Like two souls coming together. So, I don't see him hooking up, not his style. He rather be in a committed relationship. I do sex can be a bit stressful for him, and he may overthink things, like maybe if he does things right, or put pressure on himself. So, yeah, he may have to be very comfortable with the person he sleeps with. This is more about an emotional connection, than just having sex just to do it. He doesn't seem like the type that is horny all that much, unlike the Yeonjun lol He would want it to be a collaborative effort. I don't see him being a Sub or Dom, they both play a role when it comes to the act of sex, working together to reach the goal they want. When it comes to his creative projects, he seems like a team player, he may even work better in a team, rather than be solo, but he does get stressed out about things, so yeah, overall he seems nice and willing to work with his partner and emotionally connect to create a good time for both of them.

Beomgyu (8 of Pentacles/9 of Swords/The Magician)

Not what I expected, now with that Magician card he seems confident in his abilities, this can show someone who is skilled and good at what he does. I can see this as him being able to adapt to whomever he is sleeping with, maybe he can be more passionate, emotional, or communicate more to whatever fits that person's personality. It seems he can do it all. He is a multi-facet person in bed. I see him being a bit of a perfectionist, or very detailed about things. He may like things to be messy, maybe prefers to take his time. I thought he was rougher and faster, so this surprises me, okay. I see him being into cuddling too, or spooning afterwards. I see him wanting the person to be comfortable as well. I can see him stressing about things, maybe stressing about if he is doing things wrong or right, way in his head, and overthinking things as well. He may tend to overthink things when it comes to sex. I can also see him wanting to try new things and experiment as well. So, when it comes to his creative projects, I see someone multi-facet and talented, he has many gifts, skills and talents to showcase. But I also see this perfectionist mindset and stressing himself out, because things aren't going as good as planned, that can play into sex as well.

Taehyun (7 of Pentacles/Ace of Pentacles/Page of Swords)

Another one who gave me a lot. Let's start with the three I wrote above. Hmm, he seems more practical when it comes to sex. I don't know what to make of this one. He seems supportive of his partner, will probably take his time and be slow and gentle, tending to the needs of his partner. He isn't giving me much passion, so not seeing much of that with sex with him. He is slower and more precise with things. He doesn't seem like a horny dude, or someone who always needs to have sex. He may be someone who struggles to communicate his needs. He may just try to please his partner. But he also gave me the King of Swords, I see this as him being someone who plans and strategizes things. He is clear on what he wants to do. But then he got the King of Cups, he is emotionally stable and calm, so he would be a solid source of comfort for his partner during sex. Taking the lead with things. I do see some inexperience with him when it comes to sex, with this page, or a timidness to him. But overall, he is pretty mature about how to handle sex with someone. How this spills to his creative project. He tends to be more practical, may play it safe with things, this spills into the bedroom, don't see him being that spontaneous or experimental. He may even possibly be boring a bit. So, if you are into passionate/fun sex he isn't the one for you. It is like he has a plan in his head of how things will go and that is how it goes lol So, he can also be that way creatively wise.

Hueningkai (The Magician/Wheel of Fortune/Knight of Cups)

I see him being a huge flirt. I can also see him being someone multi-facet and capable of experimenting and trying new things. I can see him being into hook-ups and flirting his way to someone's bed, he just has that charm and pull about him. There is something here about timing, maybe he has a timetable of how long it should last, I don't know. He isn't giving me much else, so pulled some other cards, got the empress, so he may like older females, I think I got that before, although he gave me, he was into men, but I see him liking older woman, not sure he got a pregnancy kink, or someone with motherly energy he likes, maybe someone who will nurture and take care of him during sex, and he also gave me the 2 of cups, so he would like an emotional connection, to feel loved during sex, so he is giving me strong sub energy here. And someone to take care of him. So, when it comes to his creative work, he is a very creative and spontaneous person when it comes to his work. I see him as someone who follows his heart and likes to be emotionally connected to his work. I see him thinking time is ticking, does he want to have kids soon? Because with this Empress energy, I don't know, he might, he never gave me someone who wants kids. Anyway, he was hard to understand lol I am done trying to understand this.

Theory of Love Special: Stand By Me

We made it, folks! The Theory of Love romcom rewatch is officially over, and it was such a fun ride. I really liked revisiting this show to both confirm what I already knew--the main friends to lovers story between Third and Khai is excellent and the side plots still suck--and to add some new layers to my understanding of what the show was conveying with its themes. In the first half especially, the films the episodes called to were so tightly tied to the show's narrative, and though that got looser in the back half, there were still insights to glean throughout. This project also helped me understand that Third has atrocious taste and terrible media literacy and made me grateful that Khai is the screenwriter in their HOD production company.

For this last week, we watched Stand By Me, a famous coming of age film that I knew was very beloved, but that unfortunately was extremely Not for Shans, as my friend @shortpplfedup would say. The plot was fairly simple and not all that relevant to TOL:

Gordie finds out his old childhood friend Chris has died in a violent incident. This prompts him to reminisce about a childhood adventure they took along with their friends Teddy and Vern to locate the missing body of a dead boy near their home in Oregon so they can gain recognition. What follows is a series of mishaps as they try to find the body and avoid the local toughs who are also looking for it while working through the traumas of their young lives. As Gordie writes his recollection of this time together, he reflects on how those boys were the best friends he ever had.

This movie repulsed me on a visceral level. I recognize that it did what it intended to do pretty well, and yet I could barely stand to watch it. Perhaps it was just far too much white male violence for me to stomach. Whatever the case, I am not going to spend much time unpacking it. Its connection to the TOL special is quite tenuous, and the show mostly just wanted to reference its title, not its themes.

Because this special is all about Khai and Third standing by each other and learning how to be in a functional relationship. After the flash forward in the finale that showed us they were still together and going strong years later, in this special we flash back to the time between them getting together and that future to see how they got there. And it wasn't easy! When they first got together, Third was plainly still hanging onto his anger about the past and intent on punishing Khai, and their relationship felt pretty imbalanced as a result. Khai put up with all of it and seemed to feel he deserved it because he used to sleep around (a message I don't love). And so when Khai gets assaulted by another rude girl in a bar, he panics and tries to hide it from Third, fearing Third won't believe him.

I appreciated that as this all unraveled, we got to see not only how Khai has come to prioritize honesty with Third, but also how Third has matured as a partner. He never believed that Khai betrayed him, and he wasn't worried about this new girl who was causing trouble. When he and Khai finally talked about it, he made sure Khai knew he loves him and he is committed to their relationship, and small bumps like this are not going to threaten that. I wish he had owned up and said he was sorry for how he acted the last time they faced a situation like this rather than acting like Khai was crazy for thinking he'd be mad, but Third is not one for self-awareness and reflection. Given who they are, it felt like real progress for them and a paradigm shift in their relationship and trust in each other from that point on.

And with that, Third and Khai settled into a truly happy relationship and began building their lives together. After so much pain, it was healing to see a Third that looked so full of joy, and to see them find more of a balance in their relationship. By the time the special ends, they truly feel like life partners who are prepared to face the world together, and both seem secure about their commitment. To cap it all off, Third finally proves he understood a film when he tells Khai he is in fact not the Jeab to his Noi Nah, because those two didn't end up together and Third fully intends to spend his life with Khai.

Ah, what a pleasure it was to revisit this show. Shoutout to @bengiyo for suggesting rewatching alongside the films, to @twig-tea, @happypotato48, @neuroticbookworm and @solitaryandwandering for keeping up with the weekly watch alongside us, and to those who followed along! It was a fun project and I'm glad we did it together.

Practice Run - Part 1, Chapter 1

This is MHA Twice x Fem!Reader fanfic. Here's the inspiration!

You think if twice had a crush on reader but never confronted them about his feelings so instead he uses a clone of reader to practice romance and even gets spicy with the clone

I could totally see moments where hes feeling unstable and he makes the clone and just in a weak voice asks the clone reader to hold them together (cuddles ) sfw sorry

Imagine him making the clone reader and asking them to give him words of comfort too: you are okay, you are loved, etc

This is certainly a passion project, and one that is already completed, so I'll be uploading more soon! There's 10 chapters in total

[P1, Chp. 2], [P1, Chp. 3], [P2, Chp. 4], [P2, Chp. 5] [P2, Chp. 6], [P3, Chp. 7], [P3, Chp. 8], [P3, Chp. 9], [P3, Chp. 10]

Special thanks to Ray, hidiggity, and Booka! Dedicated to the Server of Villains!

This is my first ever fic, so please bear with me ;w;

Twice x reader | Twice x fem!reader | Mostly fluff, some angst | Jin Bubaigawara | Dabi | Himiko Toga | Tomura Shigaraki | League of Villains | Reader with a quirk

Word count: ~1.7k

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

You had been a part of the league for almost a year now, yet Jin Bubaigawara, also known as Twice, had no idea how to tell you how he felt.

When you first joined, it was so great to make a new friend! But as time went on, with every mission you were on together, every conversation you both had and every moment you spent alone together, a fluttering feeling began to build up in his chest. Before he knew it, Twice fell in love with you. 

Somehow, he managed to keep it to himself; no one else knew. Any flirtatious comment that Twice accidentally let slip, it was easy to dismiss it as another one of his personalities spouting something random, as usual. That piece of knowledge slightly eased his embarrassment each time it happened, but still, it was agonizing to think that, at any moment, someone would take it seriously, that he would be outed, and worse case scenario, rejected by you. The thought of losing you as a friend tied his stomach into knots, but it was almost painful to keep bottling up the sheer joy of getting to spend time with you, especially when it was just the two of you.

Much like the previous night…

A fight had broken out in the streets between some members of the league and a handful of UA students. The league was split into teams for that night, with each team pulling off their own part for an overall mission. Dabi and Mr. Compress were in a team together, then Toga and Twice, and then Shigaraki, Spinner, and you. Everything seemed to go off perfectly, until no one heard from Toga and Twice in a while. After half an hour of searching for them across town, you all came across the two of them beaten up pretty badly and taped to a wall. Sirens wailed not too far away, meaning it was a matter of time before the police would show up to apprehend them. Shigaraki decayed the tape holding them to the wall and all of you made a break for it to the hideout. Once everyone was safe there, they all checked in on eachother. 

Toga and Twice both had a few sprains, terrible bruises, and a fracture or two, but Twice insisted that this was totally normal for a mission to ease your worries. It did not, but at least he tried. Thankfully, you had become a key member of the league; with your quirk, Nerve, you had the ability to manipulate nerves in the human body. You were able to relax the tension in their muscles and ligaments, and numb the pain around any fractured bones. It would still take some time to heal on their own, but the pain was completely gone. 

Twice let out a heavy sigh of relief as he laid back on a dirty old couch, while you sat across from him on a broken chair. “Heh, thanks-- YEAH, THANKS FOR NOTHING! We’re really lucky to have you here!” 

You learned pretty quickly how Twice’s split personalities worked, so you didn’t take any harsh remarks personally. “Hey, it’s nothing much, I’m just doing my job,” you waved dismissively, although you were flattered nonetheless. 

“You always do such a great job, though-- you could probably do better. Look, I can’t even feel a thing!-- You make me feel like my heart’s on fire!” In that moment, Twice thanked whatever higher power was out there that he still had his mask on, because his face was completely blushed.

You chuckled and waved away again. You didn’t know how Twice felt about you, but you felt the same way as he did. Every time he praised your hard work, you could barely get any words out. There were so many butterflies in your stomach, all you could do was smile and wave. At his last sentence, you felt so elated and nervous, you weren’t sure that you could even get up from your seat. 

“Whenever you guys are done yapping, you two should go to bed. I’m exhausted, and I can’t really sleep when everyone around me is talking,” Dabi huffed.

“You think you’re exhausted, look at us!” Toga argued, gesturing to her and Twice’s injuries. 

“It looks like we’re all pretty beat right now,” Shigaraki spoke up. “The mission was a success, even though some heroes tried to ruin our night. Go get some rest, you’ve all earned it. We’ll have plenty of more things to do in the future.”

“You said it!-- Hey, don’t you think we can have a little more time to heal?!” Twice exclaimed.

“Don’t worry about it. There’ll be enough time for that until the next part of our plan is ready,” Shigaraki assured.

“Phew, you had me worried there for a sec-- I’m ready for anything!”

“Get out of here, already,” Dabi retorted before kicking back in a chair against a wall and putting his legs up on a ratty old table. It looked like an uncomfortable set up, but whatever worked, you guessed.

“I think I’m gonna head out and get some fresh air,” you tiredly sighed. You knew you needed some rest as well, but the butterflies in your stomach weren’t going to let you sleep any time soon.

The same went for Twice. “I’ll come with you!-- I really need a cigarette.” He didn’t know what he was doing since he knew that spending time with you would only excite him when he needed sleep, but he really did want a cigarette.

Once Twice stood up, Toga immediately slid and laid across the couch, claiming the space as hers for the night. “Goodnight!” she cheered and snuggled up. You and Twice both smiled, happy that she got a comfortable spot to sleep. You both wished her a goodnight in return, then followed each other out. When you both left, Toga peeked her eyes open and tried to listen through the door that led outside. Twice was certain that no one knew he was in love with you, but he underestimated how well Toga knew her best friend. A part of her could just tell that something about Twice was different around you, and she knew you felt the same way towards him by the look in your eyes and an especially wide smile you had only when you were with him. You guys got this! She cheered you both on in her head.

Through the door, there was a balcony overlooking the town, albeit the run-down side of town. The bright city lights glowed further on in the distance. Behind you, you heard the flicking of a lighter, then a drag of breath. Your adrenaline shot up a little. Both you and Twice leaned on the rail looking out over the scene. The way the distant city glow lit up your face sent his heart into a frenzy; he puffed anxiously at his cigarette and struggled to look you in the eyes. 

You occasionally glanced over at Twice and considered asking him if he was okay, but every time you looked at him, you were speechless. His mask was lifted just enough to uncover his mouth, so you could see his well-defined jaw and his scruff lining it in perfect view. You held back the extreme urge to place a hand on the side of his face to see how warm his skin felt, or to hold the hand that so casually held his cigarette. When he felt you looking at him, he would keep putting the cigarette back in his mouth and take a long drag to prevent the risk of himself from saying anything stupid that could ruin the moment.

Talk to her, dammit! Say something!

Just be patient, don’t rush yourself.

The moment is perfect!

You’re gonna blow it.

Come on man, you got this!

Twice quickly grabbed his head with his free hand and shushed himself. The suddenness of it made you flinch, and he did a double take. “OH! Uh, sorry, I didn’t mean to spook you-- What are you staring at?”

“No, no, it’s alright! No worries!” you replied. “Are…you okay?”

“Y-yeah! Just a little tired, y’know?!” It was taking every fiber of his being to keep himself together.

Come on, what the hell is wrong with you?!

She’s so pretty.

Tell her how you feel!

What are you, an idiot?

��It’s, uh, really beautiful tonight, huh? Not as beautiful as you~” he shifted the subject.

You smiled and quickly turned away. You looked out to the city and gazed into the night sky in awe. “Yeah…it’s gorgeous.” You looked back at Twice and debated on what you should say. “I’m glad to be standing out here with you right now. It’s been a while since we got to talk one-on-one. I’ve…kinda missed it,” you managed out. You could feel your knees shaking and prayed that he didn’t notice. 

He wanted to scream. “Y-yeah, I know right?-- It’s not like we have anything to talk about.” Beads of sweat formed on Twice’s forehead, and he knew he was starting to lose his composure.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

I can’t do this, I can’t do this!

He lost the will to keep going. “Man, I am so tired, I think it’s time to go!!” Twice snuffed out his cigarette on the railing and flicked it away. “Awesome talking to you, though!-- This was awful,” and with that, he immediately darted back inside and down the hall.

You stood there for a moment in complete shock and silence. “D-did I say something wrong?” you asked yourself with a horribly heavy heart. He was hardly halfway through his cigarette before he quit and ran away. You could feel tears welling in your eyes, but you fought them back. “I’m…I’m sure everything is okay. I guess he really was tired, if he… if he couldn’t make it through just one…one cigarette.” You took a shaky breath and tried to bottle it up. You were the support of the league, after all. You always had to keep a brave face.  You slowly pulled yourself back into the hideout and looked for a room that was decent enough to sleep in, and private enough to keep anyone from asking if you were alright. Toga watched you go into a room and sighed; she heard all of it. Come on…I have faith in you guys! I know it’ll all work out…somehow, she thought before eventually drifting off.

I’m only just now seeing the dogblud stuff so I’m a bit late, but I just wanted to say that WOW firstly I am so sorry you went through that. And secondly I am autistic + ADHD and struggle with very severe meltdowns at times. I also have other mental stuff goin on that worsens them. but not even in my worst episodes or meltdowns have i EVER felt like it’s been ok or appropriate to speak to someone the way dogblud spoke to you, threatening suicide and so totally demeaning and subduing you. Actually appalling. Being autistic never gives us the right to treat someone like that. damn. I hope you have much better and more positive, healing, and enjoyable collaborative experiences going forward ❤️

Thank you so much for the reassurances, I really appreciate it!! I'm already well on my way to healing thanks to the new friends I've made through this, which I'm only sorry had to be through *this* at all. At the same time it's also making me realize the true extent of the damage as, despite my best efforts, I've been very anxious about collaborating with anyone, especially with regard to werewolves. I'm trying my best to avoid expectations of failure, disappointment, or worries of deceit, and carry on like I might have otherwise, but it's a struggle some days and carries a very similar tone to an earlier period in my life, so at least I know I will eventually grow beyond it provided I don't allow myself to be drawn into a similar situation. Healing, learning to function again in a similar space after what happened, isn't supposed to be easy, I suppose. For now, I'm more than happy to support and elaborate on others' projects and characters, and I know that, in the end, the biggest fuck you I can offer to Dog would be to complete and publish something. Bonus points if it's anything like what we had been working on together at the time. As it is, I can hardly bring myself to draw my own OCs from that period any more. I'll know I'll have made it when I can. In the meantime, I'm very grateful for the support folks like yourself have shown me after posting my story. It makes me physically ill looking at those screenshots. At one point in time, I would have become more angry than scared. I really, really wish I had just gone with my first impulse and pushed back a lot harder than what I did. All I kept thinking at the time, however, was "This is bad. Don't make it worse". lol I think Jackal and Rex handled things so much better than what I did, and admire their strength. I'm incredibly flattered that Jackal has asked to collaborate with me whenever I'm ready, too. I think, together, we'll make something wonderful that will more than make up for whatever we might have lost beforehand.

Is it just me or has Four been extra cute lately? What could be the lore behind him being so adorable and sort of… less confrontational, lately? Is that just me? He always means well but the somewhat shorter temper he usually has feels absent in recent stuff.

I’m a little worried he’s gonna get all self-sacrificial again.

this is somehow linked to my last answer so I'll link it here [X]

There are several parts why I think this is:

(Related to my last answer) Sadly, there are people who hate 4, apparently due to "main character syndrome" and what he did in IGBP. Their words, not sure what they're babbling about. Anyway, I do think that the Team's trying to make 4 an enjoyable character to please everyone. (Though if you've been there since the beginning, you should know what you're getting yourself into *cough* twitter *cough* reddit *cough*) Long story short, the Team may be resolving online discourse

Characters change over time. That might sound obvious ik, but they have been. If it's for good or not, subtle or loud, but it's there. And yes, if you look close enough, you can see it in 4. Other than having a new writer on the Team ofc.

Now, the last part may dive into some mental health stuff, so fair warning for that:

I've never really seen 4 as the confrontational type. Sure, he might get annoyed or such, like any person irl would, but I just don't see it. Except when it comes to his friends. Like he said, he would really do everything to not lose them. In psychology, there's a thing called "the savior complex", and I think 4 might have it. He may not be threatening or confrontational, on command or for himself, but if any of his friends are in danger, he'd do whatever it takes to protect them. Ofc, it has its downside, risking his own life. Plus, coupled that with suppressed trauma and guilt. It's a recipe for disaster, a ticking bomb. Yes, he wouldn't mind the idea of death if he came to it.

If you consider all these parts together as one, yeah... not a great combo for 4 to have but then again, every story, no matter how outlandish it seems, is grounded in reality. If you look closely enough, it's pretty understandable why 4 is like this.

thanks for the ask, anon!

[a bit of more context about the last part below cut//more mental health stuff]

Think what you will on the last part, it's your choice. But I know the savior complex because I have that personally. And it's not that I'm projecting myself onto 4, no. It's that I understand him in a sense.

When you have that complex, you don't care what happens to you. Sure, at times you are scared for your own life in dangerous situations. But if it comes down to you or the people you care about to protect, it's always them. The protector, the shield. It's within your nature, no one forced you to be this way. It unfortunately leaves you prone to bullying as well as other negative side effects.

Then, with depression and such, it isn't pretty. Luckily, I've been going through therapy, healing from my past. And genuinely, I'm doing much better now don't worry. Even so, this complex kinda stays with you forever like trauma. The best way is to remind oneself that you matter. You deserve to take care of yourself, when it's too much or need a break. If any of you needed to see that today, then I'm happy you're here with us. now, take care of you 🫂💙

I can’t believe it’s over. What am I supposed to do with my Saturdays now? What am i supposed to do without all the emibonnie content we’ve been blessed with these past 12 weeks (I know they have that fanmeet coming up but…).

Ok, let’s see if i can try to collect my thoughts and make them sound semi coherent.

I was a little surprised by the 4mo time jump but i guess i get why it was necessary. Kawi has mostly recovered, pamrak continue to be fucking adorable with their postcards, and the oat/rak team up to go visit nene was sweet. All of that leading up to the greatest and sweetest sibling hug of all time. Rak really does have healing hugs 🫂 (I think I could use one right about now 😭).

Rak never fails to make me so proud every time she stands up to her dad and talks back to him, she has me fist punching the air and yelling “Tell him, Rak! TELL THAT SON OF A BITCH OFF!” And of course I can’t not mention nene sweeping in (im gonna miss my little lurker) going on about “WE this” and “WE that”. She blamed khem for taking away her family AND THEN CAME IN AND TOOK HIS FAMILY AWAY. Congrats, Nene you got your revenge, and as an added bonus, got yourself some siblings and a mother figure (and possibly a gf too). Khem may still be alive after all of that (at least he didn’t get redeemed) but here’s to hoping one of the maids steps up and poisons his food 🤞🏽🤞🏽.

You know what happened next….poor old, sweet, precious grandma bua. GONE TOO SOON! SHE DIDNT EVEN GET A CHANCE TO SEE RAK ONE LAST TIME AND THAT IS JUST UNFORGIVABLE! Last week when I saw the ep preview and saw that pamrak would be separated I had joked about the reunion sex but god to have their reunion to be at grandmas funeral!!!! DOUBLE UNFORGIVABLE!!! I think I cried the most during that scene compared to the rest of the episode. One good thing that did come out of it was at the end when everyone was ganging up on poor puppy dog rak 🥺 and we were blessed with the another ever elusive Nene smile. Happiness and having friends and family looks good on her 🥹.

Ok, so the first time jump I understood but then putting in a four fucking year time jump???? What was the purpose of that? 4 years of pamrak was taken from us!!!! And am I to believe that in 4 years oat and nene weren’t already dating? Did we witness the start of a first date??? FOUR WHOLE YEARS JUST SKIPPED RIGHT OVER!! The biggest blow for me was that we WERENT GIVEN A WEDDING!! What the actual fuck. I mean yea they were adorable as ever waking up in the bed together with their rings on and telling the kids that they were WIVES!!!! But but but the wedding 😔.

I don’t remember every aspect of the Pluto finale other than them getting back together and getting married but one finale I remember quite well was the Reverse 4 You finale. They had a part four fumble in that finale and wasted time by showing us four forgiving that girl instead of giving us more fourwa scenes. Feel like that aspect was repeated here.

That’s my only gripe; I obviously loved every other thing about this show. It has skyrocketed to the top of my gl list and will probably remain there for a long time.

-🤫

I lied. One more thing

All those years of dental school and she ends up volunteering to teach kids about brushing their teeth????

i left this one to answer today because i was a zombie yesterday and since it was the last episode, it deserves all the brainpower i can muster.

i'm afraid emibonnie and pamrak might have changed my brain chemistry forever (i'm sorry milklove, you'll always be special to me, but i think i have a new favorite). they were phenomenal. i could talk all day about them and how much they delivered flawless chemistry in their very first project together. they are the blueprint to be followed. they deserve all the praise and success that i know will come their way. i love them dearly, and i'm so glad they were who gave us this pamrak.

time skips in gmm shows have become a standard at this point, not only in gls but their bls too, so i wasn't so surprised by the 4 months jump (i was however surprised by the 4 years jump, but more of that later). seeing rak focusing on her studies and helping her mom and brother out and later bringing nene to see kawi was just very sweet. i was very pleased with that tbh. i wasn't so sure how they would bring nene to the family core, but we knew she felt guilty bc of kawi suicide attempt, so bringing her to help him heal was very sweet (and i 100% agree, rak has healing hugs and we should all get one).

rak really is someone that speaks to me in spiritual levels. i have a huge (personal) problem with the "this is a matter between me and your mother. don't get into this" kind of narratives, bc you had this manipulative asshole making everyone bend to his will the whole time, and he wants rak, who has seen all of that (and experienced it firsthand too) to stay quiet? when she very much knows better than just lower her head and let him step on them? no no. my girl has made me proud every single step of the way. so brave. i love this woman with every fiber of my being and i'll miss her tremendously. nene also was so girl boss when she got into that house and told khem to wait and see who was going to come out on top. SHE KNOWS SHE HAS PEOPLE TO SUPPORT HER. SHE HAS A SAFETY NET AND HE DOESN'T. TAKE THAT ASSHOLE.

at the time, i was so heartbroken that yai bua didn't get the chance to see rak one last time, but next day thoughts and i'm okay with that now. not everyone gets the chance to say their goodbyes, but yai knew how much rak cared for her, and how much they enjoyed their time together, even if they only had video calls to see each other. it made pam telling rak about yai's passing a lot sadder too. the two of them crying in the phone in complete silence? absolutely destroyed me.

now again, the four years jump was something really. i assume they did it to make sure rak had graduated and could teach alongside with her WIFE. but i suspended belief for very much everything else. do you want me to believe that in four years the cafe gang is only the three of them still? and that they even have jobs yet? hasn't pheem been trying to become an actor since the beginning? and it took them all four years to move on? i don't buy it. someone in the tags of my (first) oatnene post said that they pretending to not be together must be some type of roleplay before they go on dates and i'll believe that's the case bc there's no way aot wasn't insistent enough not to take nene out on a date after a few months after she joined rak's family. also, i've said it in the tags too but i'll say it again, i'm finally convinced of viewmim's chemistry. all it took was nene stop being a vengeful single minded person and start letting herself be cared for to convince me that they'll work amazingly well together.

not getting a wedding was a choice though. the moment they woke up in the bed and i saw the rings in their ring fingers i was 👀👀👀, but i thought they were engaged since i always mix up which hand is wedded and which hand is engaged. can we hope for an our skyy with the gls couples? maybe we get to see more of their married life or the wedding. i really want to see emibonnie in wedding gowns.

i think the us finale was probably the most solid finale we've had tbh. from all the recent gls i've watched at least, they had the most solid plotline and satisfactory end. something that happened with most of the shows i've watched in recent times is that i'd lose interest in the story as they got to the end of the story. but they had a grip on me from start to finish. even if i wish we've got more pamrak being domestic af, i feel nice that they tried giving us closure for all the stories they told. even khem being alone in those expensive stairs. ohh, that was delicious.

i also feel like pam teaching kids how to brush their teeth was more of a side thing. you know, you can't be cute in a pretty finale montage while someone has their mouth wide open and you're with full dentist gear, so this was a fun alternative.

[wodniars-void]

hi :) i've been thinking about terra lately but i don't really have any solid thoughts. his ass got torn asunder. scattered to the winds. a million deaths inflicted upon him. he's gotta be like, severely fucked up from that right? he already had Issues pre/during bbs but now he has fun, new, different issues!

anyways i adore your au/idea about terra seeing ghosts of the khdr characters from the hc post!! i really like scenarios that allow characters to interact who would never interact otherwise!!!!!! also i just love when terra's whole precog/visions thing is addressed it's sooo interesting to me i wish it came up more often in canon. also hell yeah aroace terra hc (projecting)

if you have any more Terra Thoughts and/or thoughts about that specific au from the hcs post i'd love to hear them <3

Hi!!!! Thank you for your ask!!! Sorry to keep this in my hoard for so long 😅 I am so happy to be a Terra thought repository <3 I'm writing this with a Terra plushie and at least two wayfinder charms in my near vicinity, lol.

You are absolutely correct, I believe the shattering Terra experienced was deeply traumatic. I mean, his three basic components of personhood were split apart! Combined with his pre-existing self esteem issues, it's not a great time. However, I also think his time in contact with Eraqus' heart was healing for both of them. They had a lot of time to talk and understand each other. So he's not in as bad of shape as he could be? Definitely should still visit a therapist, though!

I'm glad you enjoy the ghost au!! I also love unlikely character interactions, that's honestly a driving force here lol. I just think the Dark Road kids are neat and should be around more <3 And I think they'd like the Wayfinders a lot!!!! I imagine Vor and Terra being "workout" buddies, and Urd and Aqua comparing magic strategies, and Hermod helping Ven with homework :3 They could be friends!!! Not that Ven and Aqua can usually see the DR kids, but hey, Terra can play messenger.

When the DR kids are around, they look mostly like normal people, just slightly transparent and with a glowing golden outline. Y'know, like the other Hearts we've seen, just only visible to Terra. In extreme distress, their death wounds appear. Which are mostly varying sword wounds, but Hermod and Urd's leak Darkness from the corridor. Vor's is sort of scabbed over from Eraqus and Xehanort trying to save her. Bragi, when he rarely appears, has thick bruises on his neck (shoutout to No Vacancy by Rosie-Kairi!). Luxu picking up Braig sorta set his heart free, and he followed Xehanort to the LoD where the others were. However, his heart is in poor condition as a result of the trauma of the Snatching, so he doesn't show up as often. Terra is a good shoulder to lean on when he does. The thought of someone around Ven's age going through what he did makes Terra kind of sick.

Seeing ghosts is at first… a bit of a shock. In a way, Terra hadn't really come to terms with the fact that he'd DIED until then. Like yeah, it was really bad, but he sort of had to grapple with it not only being death, but a very bad kind of death. A fate almost worse than death. He was denied the peace of a true death and forced to remain in the world, shattered and bound. Being confronted with fellow spirits makes him face that. He was LUCKY it was even possible to put him back together. If even one component had been missing or had moved on, that would've been it. That's a terrifying reality to confront.

When that's past, it really becomes something of a new normal surprisingly quickly. Terra is a man of routine, sure, but the DR kids wiggle their way into it the same way Ven did when he first arrived. Aqua and Ven get used to walking in on Terra seemingly talking to thin air. Academics aren't his strongest suit (Aqua has always been the scholar between the three of them) but he tries his best to teach them updated science and history and the like. Aqua helps with the lesson plans! It's just hard for her to teach people she can't see. At some point they take a field trip to Radiant Garden to learn about computers and the internet (a lesson the Wayfinders are also in dire need of. Ienzo is a good teacher though!)

While in Radiant Garden they do try to study the DR crew's hearts, just trying to scan them- like a check-up! Well, Urd, Hermod, and Vor at least- Bragi is adamant his heart's been through enough, thank you very much. He doesn't admit it, but he hates being in Radiant Garden- too many bad memories. He sticks around to get the lecture on computers and dips.

As for the others, scanning their hearts is a bit trickier than anyone really anticipated. They're not tangible beings, so there's nothing to stick a sensor to or anything. They have to improvise a little! I'm imagining a tool somewhat like a metal detector wand or an Among Us Medbay Scanner. For added visual effect I think they sort of ripple into existence starting from the point where the scanner is, as transparent golden figures. Nothing new on Terra's end, but it lets everyone else see what he's been seeing the whole time! I think it'd be really magical in that moment, to be seen. Not just by one person (though Terra is lovely and tries very hard to help however he can) but to be seen by a whole room of people, for the first time since you died. The long quiet of death can get lonely, even with your fellow spirits beside you. You almost feel alive again, smiling and laughing and making eye contact with every person there, and knowing they are looking at YOU.

It's nice to be seen, is what I'm saying. And Terra helps them feel seen for the first time in a long time. That's the crux of the matter. Terra has been the invisible, the tethered, the ghost. And nobody sees the invisible like those who have been invisible themselves.

Also Baldr isn't here because he went straight to Kingdom Hearts to be with Hoder! And even if he was around he wouldn't love hanging out with the people he murdered, and they wouldn't love having him around either.

Thank you again for this lovely ask! I've had it in my drafts for so long, my apologies there. I love the Dark Road kids and Terra so much <3

8b buddie oracle reading

okay i did a buddie specific oracle reading for the first five episodes of 8b using the wild unknown archetypes oracle deck by kim krans.

anyways into the reading:

8x09 - the womb (slightly tilted) - "this card is a call to keep things simple, to return, to be reborn in the name of love". an origin story. but the fact that its off kilter means there is some sort of disruption there. This is the beginning of the Big Buddie Arc; maybe buck's feelings realization is sidelined by maddie's disappearance-- i can especially see this happening since the womb represents the mother and maddie is a mother figure to him. he needs her to accept and come to terms with his feelings but obviously can't do that if she has been kidnapped. but no matter how lost maddie is physically and buck is emotionally, this card calls us to heal and grow.

8x10 - eros (slightly tilted) - "though eros can be depicted as unbridled sexuality and eroticism, a more conteplative understanding of this archetypal energy leads us to the root of desire itself. what do we long for? why are we awakened by love? you may find yourself swirling in a new territory of desire and sensuality" this kind of screams let buck fuck to me…like he's realized he has feelings for eddie, but doesn't think he can have him so he projects that longing and desire onto other people. the fact that its only mildly tilted, i think this won't last long. he'll quickly realize that is not helping anyone. wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the episode he has fully come to terms with his feelings. if we apply this to eddie--i don't think character arc wise he's at a place where he's able to acknowledge his attraction to himself but this would definitely speak to a hint of his reciprocal feelings of some sort. something not said out loud but the start of this journey into a new territory of desire and sensuality for him.

8x11 - the mountain (reversed) - a reversal indicates a significant barrier in achieving this energy. "the mountain can affect us in two ways: it can inspire and enliven us to rise to new heights…yet it can also create isolation" so this is eddie in el paso. his instict is going to be to self isolate, and lean into the puritan side of his upbringing. this card can create a separation from those we deem "below us". in this case i think this might be eddie himself. what he was beginning to acknowledge in LA (his queerness, his attraction to buck) is "beneath" him. but continuing to climb a mountain up, up, up is a fool's path. the jewels and crystals are WITHIN the mountain; within eddie. and at his very core, eddie is chris's father. once he digs deep, self reflects he'll be able to pull all this out and not only get his son back, but also finally be his true self.

8x12 - anima mundi - "epitomizes the principal 'accept all. reject none'" only slightly tilted so not much resistance here. at this point, its all smooth sailing for buddie (GODDDDDDDD) eddie knows he's gay. he knows hes in love with buck. this is a card of destiny and these boys are ready to go after theirs. together. they are complete together, each others world. and they're ready to accept that bond. (although with the slight tilt i could see like they b oth know and they're both ready but buck goes to el paso and eddie goes to LA and they don't tell each other or something silly like that)

8x13 - the unseen (mildly tilted) - "we cannot see it, yet it sees us--watching and waiting with wisdom both kind and instructive" moderately tilted this could be a challenge. an NDE where they both know how the other feels but they just can't quite get there. a reflection on how everything has lead them to this moment, how they've been circling around each other like the universe itself has willed it and yet when they're finally ready, the same destiny that has pulled buck and eddie together seems determined to now keep them apart. perhaps an eddie coma dream where shannon appears and is like go back to ur mans dude. i always knew you were gay. LMAOOOo. this is a card of clairvoyant guidance, spirit, and ancestors soooooo

i've had this deck for a while but haven't used it much because sometimes i get intimidated by oracle decks compared to tarot decks which i have a certain familiarity with regardless of which deck i use. BUT i found this deck to be really versatile and broadly applicable so!!!!
