“Sorry, eating for two…”

She will sometimes finds herself taking care of others and even doing chores for them

Mia is laying down on the couch flipping through channels and smiling. Then suddenly Nikolai pops beside her and cuddles his wifey, telling her about his day.

“What are you doing?” She asked giggling looking at him.

Nikolai grins and rubbing her belly, “Gossiping with our baby boy.”

~~

Everyone suddenly becomes overprotective and careful around her, even though Mia has to remind them that she’s fine

Jeremy reminded her to take it easy and she making a witty remark to him

Luna and Mia putting the baby’s room 🥺 together

Rick would be sooooooo excited and want to do things for Mia (chores, errands, paperwork) and also spoil the kiddos. Bruce, Natasha, Hill and others want her to listen to the doctors advice too.

She doesn’t always listen to them and regrets it later, knocking out cold on the couch.

~~~

Miss Mia will never admitted it fully but she’s emotional and has her moments insecurity across the board. In response she is often used humor to cope with any kind of worries she got. But sometimes she brings up the thoughts she has.

“Will be a good mom like mine is? I hope so.”

She knows that Nikolai wonders if he will be a good father. Of course she will find him and talk it out, how they’re both feeling about everything going on.

“We’ll be alright and this kid is gonna have a great village to raise them.”

Sometimes Mia is found on the couch or sitting at her desk doodling thing too, it’s a great mental break to relax. Relive herself of any kind of tension and sometimes she ends up with a good laugh.

Sometimes she is just embarrassed and emotional for no reason and honestly it’s cute

~~

“I cried over a meeting yesterday and an email.” Mia exclaimed, “I never cry during a meeting!”

“What was the meeting about?” Cole asked

“Saving and investing in Panda bears for cute press releases..” She admitted

Jeremy burst out laughing, “Oh jeez! Okay, that’s cute.”

Cole snickered, “Oh you poor thing you’ve gone soft.”

~~~

This girl sometimes end up saying random stuff…😂

“I know what I should do! I should cut my hair like Princess Diana.”

“If Donkey and that dragon ended up together, why are their kids donkey size?”

“Why don’t donuts grow on trees?”

“Hercules was a good movie and the cartoon was fun too.”

“If I listen to Justin Timberlake and dance around, do you think the baby would like to dance as a toddler?”

“What? Tom and Jerry is educational…if you don’t about the violence part..”

~~

Other times she is saying sweet and sappy stuff 🩷

“I love you guys! I don’t say it enough.”

“Shut up, you are beautiful and smart and wonderful human being!”

“I know I have been emotional lately and a little annoying, I don’t mean to act that way…so I got you a little something to show my appreciation for you.”

“Did anyone ever tell you that you are amazing and doing your best today? Cause you are.”

“Who wants donuts? I’m buying!”

~~

“You gotta stop baking so much.” Cassie says chuckling, “You gotta eat some healthy food too.”

Mia dressed in a white apron and wearing Mickey Mouse ears while making Goofy themed treats.

“You weren’t complaining last week when I made you Hogwarts theme snacks for your movie night!” She remarked yelling.

Luna gasped, “She got a point!”

Liane eating popcorn with Rick watching it all go down giggling

~~

Mia tends to go a little overboard with things especially when she starts nesting too early in the season

SHE JUST WANTS THE PLACE TO LOOK COMFY AND COZY! That’s all she ask 😌

She tends to be a bit dramatic and silly too, often when she’s in a mood.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Am I forgetting something? Oh god, did I say something wrong? Don’t laugh!”

She will eventually get over it and go back to normal

She gets excited over the littlest things too!

Mia is often a tad bit clumsy and lack the energy to do things around the house at times. She adopts a lazy era 💅🏻

But everyone loves her all the same in the end!

~~~

hii do you think you cld write abt gunwook ? maybe smth like popular!gunwook and shy!reader in a school setting

also, i rlly enjoyed ur yujin imagines! they're so adorable

omg! ofcc , recently gunwook has been biasing me lately after kcon 😭😭! thank you for the compliment abt my yujin imaginess <3 ! tbh i didn't know how succesful it would bee

young love 🫂 - p.gw

PAIRINGS: popular!gw + shy!freader

it was winter. your favourite time of the year - not just because it was the season of your birthday but because you loved christmas and the traditions of the mistletoe at school.

your school recently (by recently you mean 4 years ago) started this thing were they would leave mistletoes around school.

at first it was very controversial but they made it rule that you don't have to partake in the tradition if you didn't want to.

most people didn't because half of the boys in your school were ugly and smelt like canned fish.

however if they did wanna kiss someone, it would've been the f9.

f9? basically the most handsome, jaw-dropping, extravagant, elegant, heart-beating boys ever to be seen.

you had the 3seniorz - aka : sung hanbin & zhanghao from class one with kim jiwoong in class two

then you had the musicianz - aka : seok matthew & kim taerae from class one

and then finally the coocooz - aka : shen ricky, kim gyuvin , han yujin and your beloved park gunwook.

pretty much every sane girl in your school had a crush on them because who wouldnt?

the f9s pretty much run the school, if they ask someone to do something they would.

one time ricky asked a girl a year above him to buy him something from the school store, she bought the whole store for him.

another time taerae asked a girl to get his guitar from the music room, she got his guitar with the rest of the music room on her back.

so you could tell that these boys had every girl wrapped around their fingers ,

including you.

but no one knew of course.

you barely talked in lesson and never raised your hand and on top of that you sat the middle row in lessons and would always leave a sticky note on the teacher's desk ever day to remind her that you were in so she didn't need to call out your name.

and thats how you lived for pretty much all 3 years of highschool until today.

you made your way to your homeroom with your headphones in and got a sticky note from your bag to put it on the teacher's desk and plotted your bag on your chair.

whilst returning to your chair, you realised that someone must of forgotten their cleaning duty yesterday and forgot to clean your desk.

their was pen marks everywhere and gum under the table.

you sighed heavily, but too heavily so no one else knew your dissapointment. you were about to go to the toilet to get some tissue when your phone started ringing.

it was inhee your bestfriend

'Y/N!!' said inhee through her phone speaker ruining your eardrums forgetting that you were on speaker everyone in your class looks at you.

you smile back awkwardly and dash out the class room.

'omg inhee! you dont need to shout my name at 8:03 am in the morningg" you said complaing about your friends behaviour

'oh im sorry miss l/n but apprently seola from our class got a mistletoe with ricky! '

' WHAT?? damm she's so lucky! '

' I KNOW RIGHTT THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYINGG ' says inhee and then for the next five minutes of your call inhee was complaining about how it should've been her instead of seola.

'ME AND RICKY HAVE FIRE AND WATER SIGNS WE ARE LITCH SOULMATES'

'okok i get your pointt~. it's not that deep its only a kiss he probably doesn't feel anything for her anyway.

'after all he is a player but that doesn't mean anything! i have been waiting for my first kiss to be ricky just to be knocked off by son seola who is a complete copy of me :>'

'inhee its just a one time thing, you can make a move to him on the last day of school or something'

'ONE TIME THING?'

she said again, at this point you thought she was intentionally trying to publicly embarrass you infront of everyone as well as make you deaf.

'inhee enough with this yelling over a boy! its not even past 9 am yett'

'well this boy is my lifeline, soulmate, couple, future hubby, fiance he is like my everything! he means the whole world to me just like gunwook means to you silly!'

gunwook. gun wook . park gunwook.

you loved his name.

you loved they way he talked .

you love his visuals.

most of all you loved his smile.

'yeah but gunwook is different - first of all he is not rich and spoilt , second of all he is classprezz and is not a player'

' okay but imagine if you got a mistletoe with him! like that would be so cute!'

'with who? gunwook' you scoff at her words.

'gunwook is way out of my league, i would never get mistletoe with him and that's how i like it and i wanna keep it that way for th-'

your phone fell out of your hand skidding across the marble floor of your school hallway.

you pick your self up and run to get it but another hand it there before you.

you look up to see gunwook.

'oh my god' you thought.

eugh this was so cliche for this to happen.

but even through those thoughts, you and him still kept eye contact

'ay gunwook did you get the homework for-

OMG YOU GOT A MISTLETOEE'

you look behind gunwook's broad shoulders to see his friend gyuvin running towards him whilst pointing up towards the ceiling.

and follow his fingers to see the mistletoe right above your head with you and gunwook

'BRO YOU GOTTA GIVE HER A KISS - A RICKY COME HERE GUNWOOK GOT A MISTLETOE'

'GUNWOOK HAS TO GIVE HER A KISSY WISSY OOOO~'

you look back to gunwook eyes as he meets you with an awkward smile after he elbowed gyuvin in his ribcage.

'you don't have to kiss me! it's j-just a tradition' you say excusing yourself slowly.

then all of a sudden gunwook holds you by your shoulder and mouths sorry before pulling you in for a kiss.

your lips clash onto eachother as you close your eyes not knowing how to react and slowly losen up to his touch.

those seconds then feel like minutes which feel like hours the kiss breaks up and you suddenly realise where you are.

you look around to see a whole entire crowd has formed around you two with phones everywhere.

you obviously freak out and gunwook being the man he is he drags you through the crowd and brings you too your class.

'thank you' you say smiling back with a bow

he laughs abit which make you feel embarrassed but he reassures you.

'it's ok, you looked so cute when you tried leave because i knew you liked me' he says giggling with his dimples showing.

your cheeks instantly flush and laugh back.

the bell rings meaning you have to go back to your seat and gunwook looks at his watch.

'ill get going now but if you want i can take you out for some ice cream later'

you nod back with a smile going back to your seat whilst inhee runs through your homeroom door slamming it against the wall.

'y/n. tell. me. everything.'

I'm using a different definition of bird

This is based on a true story

Scary telepathy facts with Carla

Gwen and Akash are dating now <3

Gross Halloween Party games

Behind - from The Secret Portal Part One (Maddie POV)

I snuck up behind her before tackling her in a hug. Kelsey yelped, but laughed, giving me a semi-hug back; the best she could give from the awkward angle. “Hey, Maddie,” Kelsey greeted, taking her backpack off the chair she saved for me and moving it to the floor. She removed the pods from her ears and shook her head to knock her short, choppy hair out of her eyes, but her bangs just fell back in her face. I took the now-empty seat next to her. “Your glasses are smudged.” Kelsey removed them and rubbed them on what I hoped, for the safety of her lenses, was a cotton shirt.

Yell(ing) - from The Secret Portal Part One (Ash POV)

“Best grilled cheese sandwich?” Noelle stopped, thinking. “Sourdough, Cheddar and Muenster, sliced tomatoes, sauteed greens, sliced pear, ham, and cut into two diagonal pieces.” Silence. I peeked into her mind. “Could you by any chance make that sandwich sometime?” Noelle smiled slightly. “Sure.” “Told you Muenster was the best,” Liam said. “Which means, I win.” This ensued more overlapping yelling.

Couch - from The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)

Carla and a taller, older boy were sitting on the larger couch. The boy—or maybe young man—held what appeared to be a granola bar in his hand, out of a wrapper. A world of dragons and portals and they still have regular food? On the table in front of him sat a plate with other unwrapped granola bars set on top of it. Jeez. He wore earrings and a red beanie-like hat with a green fringed jacket over an orange crewneck. His bright blue eyes against his skin tone reminded me of Maddie. Based on the state of the room, I couldn’t help but wonder if these two lived alone.

Bird - from The Secret Portal Part Two (Ash POV)

“The rules of this exercise are simple,” said Wade from the other side of the room. “The goal is to remove the other team’s necklace. If your necklace gets taken, you cannot get it back—you are out. You can attempt to incompacitate your opponent, but the ground rules is that you can’t knock them unconscious. We don’t want any serious injuries.” “Boooo!” Jazlyn and Parker said from next to me. Wade gave them the bird from across the room. They just returned it.

Away - from The Secret Portal Part One (Gwen POV)

I realized I was staring when Akash smiled. “You’re new around here, aren’t you?” When I didn’t answer, he added, “You want me to help you down?” I nodded, and Akash wrapped his arm around me. I flinched slightly—a cute boy was touching me!—but allowed him to do so. I let go of the vent and let him fly me to the floor. I suddenly realized I had wrapped my arms around him. I quickly pushed away from him. “Thanks,” I muttered. I glanced off to the side and panic ran through me when I noticed a bed. I could feel my cheeks turning red. I just fell into a cute boy’s room! As if I wasn’t embarrassed enough.

Eyes - from The Secret Portal Part One (Ash POV)

Shelby giggled as she reached for a cookie in the center of the table. “And what happened next?” I sniggered, trying to hold my laughter in so I could tell the story. “So—” I burst out laughing. Shelby rolled her eyes, but while smiling. “So, Mr. Taylor got mad at Jasmine for not playing soft enough and?” “And—” I took a deep breath, trying to keep calm. “And Jasmine said, ‘Mr. Taylor, I wasn't even playing!’” Shelby burst into a fit of laughter as her dad walked into the dining area.

Stretch - from The Secret Portal Part One (Ash POV)

Carla fiddled with the ring hanging from the chain around her neck. “The mind can only stretch so far. If advanced telepaths did—or even do—exist, there would be no way they could function. Their minds aren’t able to communicate the information that they can comprehend. They end up lost in their own thoughts, unable to reach out to another being.” I fell silent.

Moon - from The Secret Portal Part One

“You’re right. But… tomorrow?” “Sure. It’s a—” Gwen stopped herself. “It’s a what?” “It’s a...n event. That I will mark. On my calendar. My mental calendar. In my head.” “Oh. Okay.” Akash took a deep breath. “I… just thought you were gonna say date.” Gwen felt her cheeks burn up. “Only if you want it to be.” “I would want that,” Akash said, smiling shyer than usual. “Cool.” Gwen wasn't sure if she was nervous or over the moon, but she looked around, trying to find a distraction. “Hey, look, is that Gills under that sheet?” “Yo, Gills!” Akash shouted. The person in the sheet turned. “Yes, it’s Gills.” He raised his voice again. “So lemme guess: you’re a ghost!” “No, I’m a high schooler in a sheet!” Gabriel replied. “Ah, that’s a unique costume!” “Says the person dressed as the most recognizable character in the world.” “Not this world!”

Worm - from The Secret Portal Part One

“Ooh!” Lexi gasped, pointing at a table with a bag of Skittles and cups. “Is that the Skittles game?” “Skittles game?” Robbie asked. Lexi smiled deviously. “It’s disgustingly fun.” “You use your mouth to put the Skittles in the cup,” said Parker. “Whoever has the most wins.” Robbie scrunched up his face but smiled. “Aw, that’s nasty. I love it.” “Gummy worm spit!” Maddie gasped. “Yes!” “You’re welcome,” said Tyler from the punch table. “Oh, by the way, in the center table there’s a jar of candy corn. Write down how many you think are in there. Whoever gets it closest gets the entire jar.” “Time to write down 5 million,” said Akash, floating over. “I hate candy corn.”

Birthday Boys

Sam started his morning the same way he did everyday; a solid line of special K off his dresser. Eyes watering he looked into the eyes of the pet frog his father had gotten him when he became a teen.

"Don't look at me like that, Augustus," he said, sniffiing. "It's just to take the edge off."

Ellie was checking out her new outfit in the mirror. She'd recently turned 13 and had entered her mean girl stage, or so Sam liked to snipe. So what? Heather Chandler and Regina George were iconic for a reason.

She was meeting up with Lily later that day to go shopping. It was also Sam's birthday, but everyone knew Lily probably didn't remember. Ellie couldn't help it that she was their mother's favorite. People had favorites and that's just how the world worked. She'd be nice enough to remind Lily what day it was, but what Lily did with that information was up to her.

"Happy birthday, son," Ricky said as Sam came out.

"Thanks, Dad."

"18. It's a big deal."

Sam shrugged. "I suppose."

"I got a cake from Penny for you. I thought we could go to Magnolia Promenade. While the girls are shopping I thought you and I could go pick up Rosie's newest book at Bhoarders. We'll meet back up with the girls for lunch."

Sam stopped for half a second, then continued getting his breakfast. He knew Lily wouldn't see him. Ellie choosing her over him was salt in the wound, but what could he do about it? Ellie was turning into their mother.

"Wouldn't Roz give it to us for free?" Sam said.

"Well, probably, but I'm not testing those waters. I have a lot of sucking up to do. Can you make sure that cat of yours is inside before we leave? I don't want her to get stuck in the rain."

It only took a few calls before Circe came running up to Sam. She was supposed to be for the house, but she played favorites. Circe slept in his room, sat on his lap when they watched TV and brought him little gifts.

"Good girl," Sam cooed, brushing her out before taking her inside.

Lily had not arrived yet when Ricky and crew had. Ellie texted her to see when she was coming.

"She's running late," Ellie said. "I'm going to the clothier's, I'll meet up with you when you're done."

"You don't want to see your sister's book?" Ricky called after her. She didn't stop walking. "I'll just get her a copy."

"Don't bother," Sam said. "She doesn't like her."

Ricky heaved a sigh. "Come on, Sam. Let's eat cake."

Penny has made him her iconic hamburger cake. He couldn't help but smile and feel a twinge of jealousy. Rosie got to grow up with such an amazing mother and he was stuck with fucking Lily.

"I want to talk to you about something, Sam," Ricky said. "I know I haven't exactly done a perfect job of raising you two. Penny makes it look so easy, but it's not always. Especially when you have someone who is choosing to make everything more difficult." Ricky rubbed his chin. "But you have weathered this better than I could have hoped for."

Another twinge of guilt. Ricky hadn't yet figured out Sam's extra curricular activity. The thought of seeing his dad disappointed in him made him sick for a few moments.

"I am so incredibly proud of you, son," Ricky finished, his voice catching a little. "You are a thoughtful and kind young man."

"Are you kicking me out or something?" Sam asked.

Ricky paused for a moment and then laughed. "No, no! You can stay home as long as you want to. That's your room forever. I'm not moving. I just wanted you to know how proud I am of you and that I love you."

"I love you, too, you sappy old man. It's your turn for candles."

[pinkestpurple]

Thats it! You people have stood in my way long enough, I'm going to clown college!!

(I have started 911)

I couldn't wait to see if Eddie was gay, i have started the show in friday, i think and I already finish season 1 so this were my thoughts while watching.

1x01

I didn't know this Abby was the protagonist, i though it was Hen.

These people are way too dramatic to be first responders

The cop is homophobic? When was this show created?

Buck doesn't know Connan the Barbarian?? We get it you are the young one! (I said as if I'm not younger than buck)

"...self-diagnosed" jdjdjsj okay thats hilarious

2x01

Buck saying that he join the fire department for the "hero shit" remind me of Mr. March, I miss Ricky and the unsleeping city

Abby reminds me of a real person that i know, i have so much empathy for her, my grandma had Alzehimers tho and is so hard to take care a person like that

The dogs are being super friendly!! They are such good actors!!

Buck is super Dean coded, i see it now

Buck don't fuck the therapist, please

Buck I'm watching this with my dad PLEASE

Buck don't fuck with the dead man sister

This is so instance for the finale of episode two

3x01

They let me with the cliffhanger of the cop kid and know wheres a bouncing house hanging from a cliff

Ep 3 and there's someone in a coma already?? How they are going to fill 8 seasons

4x01

They eat at somepoint?? They always get emergencies when they are about to eat

What a good episode

The concept of buck and abby is so good! They are clearly not meant to last but i love the concept of a an 911 operator and the first firefighter that saw her as a hero

7x01

"Can you shut up about the moon?" Jsjsjs thats funny

Thats a lie, you weren't in south america buck, bc if you were you could just say the name of the country

Okay, so i like the concept of abby and buck, in practice... not that much

8 or 9 idk x01

Athena going out just one night after she divorce her husband and already has a guy buying drinks?? Thats game

10x01

Okay we are back to the bizarre, are we seeing the pov of his soul??

Okay, no, i was wrong, is not as bizarre, but 3 times man? That a lot.

Okay so, i really like the show, can't wait to meet Eddie. Kind of sad to see Abby leave, i liked her character.

I didn't like somethings, but the principal one is Carla, i am not an expert in racist stereotypes but why is a mammy character in a 2018 show!?

Is a shame bc i really like the actress, i wish she could stay but she didn't do anything outside of abby

We will be watching season 2

[nunlucky-novel]

Prologue – Town Hall

  It was a muggy summer day in June. A heavy rain had poured through, making the already hot day even worse than it was. The city council building had air conditioning, thankfully. It helped you forget the horrible, sticky heat of outside world.

To the casually dressed teenager sat at the desk, it was dreadfully boring. She was stuck doing this for a college credit, since she was a few points short for her GPA. To make up for it she’d be spending two months as the temporary secretary for City Hall. She huffed. She hated this, but she couldn’t pass up her opportunity to get into her dream college.

“Ugh, I wonder what Stacy’s doing?” the girl said, frowning at her phone. She scrolled through her Instagram feed, the feeling of FOMO settling in. The girl continued to scroll mindlessly, not noticing a sharply dressed man walking into the waiting area.  

 He was wearing a fur coat, huge and dyed teal with flicks of gold, like some kind of rockstar. Underneath, a tailored suit, all dark reds and blacks and golds when it catches the light. His face was partially obscured by huge mirrored gold sunglasses, but none could miss a perfectly maintained pompadour. His heels clicked with some other gold accents, giving him a distinct, obnoxious step.

“So this is where Ricky’s been hiding, huh?” The man mumbled to himself. He slipped his sunglasses off, neatly folding them and stuffed them on the inside pocket of his ridiculously out of season coat. With those no longer obscuring his face, he was actually quite handsome.

He had a long pointed nose, reminding one of some exotic bird with his ridiculous outfit. His face was long, his chin ending in a point. You could say he had sharp features. His eyes were a pretty golden brown, but his stare was sharp and focused. He was tall, but not what you’d call lanky. He wasn’t muscley but not so scrawny. Fit could be the right word. He strode across the room towards the receptionist’s desk, looming over the teenager.

Noticing that her light was suddenly blocked, the girl looked up at him with a annoyed expression. “Uh, can I help you?” she asked, frowning. She was giving the bare minimum, enough so she wouldn’t screw this up and get kicked out. The taller gentleman leaned down, resting an elbow on the edge of the desk. The scent of his expensive cologne filled the girl’s air space. It burned her eyes, making them water.

“I’d like tah talk with the mayor. He and I got some business to discuss.” He said grinning. His bleached white teeth were blinding the girl. One of his canines were  gold. “Tell’em that Koda Dorado is here, kay kid?”

“Sorry sir, but Mr. Belle isn’t taking any non-appointments today.” The girl said, leaning back in the chair. She swiveled the chair to face the computer and wiggled the mouse. She clicked on the calendar app, scanning to see if he did have an appointment. Just in case.

“I’m not seeing your name on the calendar either, sir. If you’d like to make an appointment, I’d be glad to help you.” The young receptionist sighed. She was warned that people would try to shove their way into to see the mayor. At most, she just had to offer to make an appointment, which would be ignored, or offer up the suggestion box. Or just call security and have them thrown out.

“Listen-“ Koda glanced down at the girl’s name tag. “Listen, Joan. Me and the mayor, we go way back. He’s, uh, my great uncle, alright? So if you could just buzz me in or something, I could make it worth your while.”

Joan sneered, “Are you, like, trying to bribe me right now?!”

“Maybe. Depends on dah asking price, Doll-face.”

Joan pondered for a moment. It was glaringly obvious that this guy wasn’t the mayor’s nephew, and his determination to see him was incredibly annoying. She was inclined to call security to escort him out, thus wiping her hands of this man. Her hand slipped under the desk, preparing to tap the panic button. She paused when the doors leading towards the main office swung open with enough force to cause some damage to the henge. Koda and Joan both jumped in surprise, turning to see who it was.

There stood a portly, middle-aged man in an unfashionable, out of style velvet suit, a very unseasonal black turtleneck underneath with plain brown loafers. His hair was thinning, turning from black to gray and slicked back with too much hair gel. He had a beard, neat and clean, with specks of white poking through. He wore six rings, five on his right hand and only one on his left. It was a surprise he got them on his fat sausage fingers. The man stared at Koda with contempt. Koda stared back with twisted grin.

Mayor Richard Bell had arrived.

“Uncle Ricky!” Koda said, standing straight, voice full of faux excitement and happiness. He waltzed over to the man, arms open wide as if he was going to give the biggest bear hug. Acting like he hadn’t seen him in so long, a loving nephew who hasn’t seen his favorite uncle in so, so long. To anyone who didn’t know them, it’d be a heartwarming scene. But to the mayor, it was anything but. It was true that Mayor Bell had known Koda for a long time, but he wasn’t his nephew. He wasn’t related to him by blood, or any other direct familial ties. Koda was a demon. A demon plagued by the sin of Greed, on the hunt for his horn after losing it some 40 years ago. And Mayor Richard Bell was the angel who was responsible for the loss of the horn.

Koda hugged the mayor, squeezing him so tightly that it could have popped the poor man like one of those funny squeeze toys. The ones that squeak when you squeeze them. The mayor hugged him back, giving him a halfhearted pat on the back to keep up the charade. His aggravated expression probably gave away how he truly felt, however.

“What are you doing here?” Mayor Bell asked, tone curt and sharp. “What do you want?”

‘How did you fine me?’ was a question that went unsaid but written all over his face. Koda could sense what he was thinking. He had known “Richard” for years, under different aliases. But its one thing he could hide, and that was his contempt for the other.

Koda put on a hurt expression, placing his hand over his chest in false shock. “What could you possibly mean, Uncle Ricky? I just wanted to come by and see ya!” Koda flung an arm over the man’s shoulder, getting close to him. Mayor Richard knocked it away like some bug landed on him.  “I mean it’s been a good, what? 10 years since we last spoke? I just wanted to catch up! For ol’ time’s sake…”

Mayor Richard scowled, “Fine. Let’s talk in my office.” He turned to Joan, who had been watching everything. She flinched, looking away embarrassed. He pointed a fat finger in her direction. “I’m on my lunch hour. Do not let anyone in and take calls for me. Thank you, Joan.” “Yeah, thanks Joan! I’ll leave ya a tip!” Koda cackled as he was led towards the Mayor’s office. Joan wasn’t going to receive that tip.

Prologue ---- > Chapter 1

[rurpleplaysmuttingtonac]

Lucy was inconsolable when she walked out of the bedroom that morning and saw the urn on the landing. Running around the manor with fear climbing up her throat, when she realised who the missing person was, she collapsed in the kitchen.

She couldn't breathe. She couldn't believe what had happened.

Ricky, who'd loved her, who'd given her a choice, was dead.

He was gone.

Forever.

She wasn't sure how it had happened.

All she knew was that one moment she was on her feet, tears streaming down her face and screaming with despair and the next, she was on the ground and she saw Death approaching her.

Martin had followed her out of the room and concerned for her welfare, he kept an eye on her. When she fell to the ground and grew eerily motionless and Death approached, he jumped forwards.

"NO!" he yelled, crashing to his knees so quickly he winched as he knew he'd bruised them.

Beatrice and Jordan, who'd already been crying over Ricky's death, widened their eyes and their voices joined in with their horror at Lucy's possible death.

"NO!" he repeated. "Please no, not her as well! You already took Sophie and Ricky!"

Oh, so there's at least one person here who cares for that poor sod who died last night?

"Lucy cares, I care, we all care!" Martin muttered, panic filtering through his words. "Lucy cares the most, that's why...I have no idea why she's dying but she was distraught!"

Perhaps she wants to join her lover in death?

"He wasn't her-"

Just because they never shared a bed, do you really think love is so simple? You have much to learn, Martin Phillips.

"Please!"

I'll give you a choice then young man, the same choice I gave the other bloke a month ago. I'll restore this one's soul to the land of the living under one condition. You have to guess correctly what hand her soul is in.

"I will, yes please!"

But maybe you should consider one thing. This one loves another and she was so upset to learn of his passing that she was ready to pass on as well, to join him in death. If that's how she felt about him, then how will she feel about you if you succeed? How will she feel about you robbing her chance to remain with him for all eternity, when you wanted her for yourself?

Martin felt like the breath had been kicked out of him.

He knew that Death had a reputation of deceiving and playing with mortals and their emotions. He also knew that his 'face' was hooded, so it was impossible to read in his expression if he was lying ort not.

But a lot of what he'd just said rang truer than Martin wanted to believe. Lucy had apparently died as soon as she saw Ricky was dead. She'd all but ignored him as he'd tried to console her, pushing him away.

Did she want Ricky?

Maybe she'll want me when she hears I saved her? he thought hopefully, but it sounded pathetic to him.

Time is ticking Martin Phillips, Death reminded him. I haven't got all day to sit here whilst you ponder all your life choices. Do you want to plead for her life?

Martin shook himself and took another glance at Lucy's prone figure. He cast an eye at Beatrice and Jordan who were both watching him, agape. He wasn't sure if they'd heard what Death had told him but seeing their horrified gazes at his hesitation, his resolves solidified.

"Yes" he heard himself saying. "I will plead for her."

Very well then, Death continued. Pick a hand, either hand.

Martin did succeed in choosing the hand that contained Lucy's life essence.

There's a reason they warn mortals to be careful what they wish for, Death reminded him. Stand aside and I shall restore Lucy Hernandez to this world.

Sure enough, with a wave of his scythe, Death made Lucy's body hover above the ground for a few feet before her eyes opened, and she looked around wildly.

"Ricky?" was the first thing she said.

Martin felt like a bucket of ice filled water had been dumped over him. He stepped forward, ignoring Death's mutter of Told you so.

"Lucy! You're ok!"

Lucy's conscience was starting to come back to her. She glanced around and met his gaze before her eyes began to fill with tears again. "Is Ricky really dead?"

"I'm afraid so" Martin said gently, ignoring the tidal wave of regret that was washing over him.

When she started to sob, he pulled her into his arms, closing his own eyes to stop the onslaught of anguish he now felt.

The story of how Ocean released snakes upon St. Cassain 

Based on my last post.

“Noel why are you insisting that we watch the show instead of movie?” Ocean asked, grabbing a handful of popcorn. It was the choir’s monthly sleepover and like usual it was a huge debate on what to watch. However, instead of insisting on some obscure French movie, Noel was vouching for some Disney fantasy show. Ocean has no idea why he was insisting on it, given that when they were seven he declared that the only thing Disney related media worth watching was Beauty and the Beast. This had interested the rest of choir so most of the votes went to watching the show. Except for Ocean’s but she was outvoted. 

“Because it’s a good show. Also it’s gay but that happens later.” Noel said. “So are we watching the whole thing?” Mischa asked and Noel shrugged. “The nights young. Literally. It’s only 7. But I need to get you guys invested in this show too, so probably.” Noel said with a mischievous grin. Ocean groaned. “The whole night! Seriously? You guys can’t be okay with this.” She exclaimed, turning to the rest of the choir. Ricky poked the coffee table with his crutch which caught everyone’s attention. He was sitting comfortably on the couch with Penny snuggled up under a blanket next to him. 

I’ve heard good things about it. And I’ve been meaning to watch it anyway. He signed. Penny giggled. “I saw a few photos of one of the characters online. I like the design.” She said with a smile. “Like Noel said. Night young, we have time.” Mischa said and Constance nodded next to him. “Yeah Oce! I’m sure it’s good if Noel is recommending it.” Constance said. Ocean sighed, she was clearly outvoted. “Fine, put it on.” She muttered, flopping back on the arm chair. 

Noel pulled up Disney+ and cued up the show. Since Ocean had been complaining about watching it, she had no idea what it was called. “The Owl House.” She muttered as it started. The show opened like a normal Disney cartoon. Except for the “Eat this sucker!” line. The was out of the ordinary for a Disney show, at least to her anyway. The show seemed fine until a certain line was said. “Oh so that’s where the backup snakes went!” The main character, Luz, said after glancing outside of the principal’s office to reveal kids being chased by snakes. Ocean froze. Then she kicked Noel. 

“Noel you jerk! Did you just put this on to remind me of the snake incident!?” She snapped. Noel blinked, confused. “Uh no. This literally has nothing to do with the….Snake incident.” He trailed off at one point, glancing at the screen and then back at Ocean. “Oh my god. This IS just like the snake incident!” Noel said with a cackle. This caused Constance to start laughing and Ricky to grin like manic. Ocean blushed in embarrassment. “Shut up! It’s not that funny!” She exclaimed. “What’s the snake incident?” Penny asked and Mischa nodded. “I would also like to know what snake incident is.” He said. 

Constance snorted. “Let’s just say Ocean doesn’t have a perfect record.” She said with a smirk. Ocean groaned. “Can we please not talk about this.” She said with a sigh. No can do. The incident was the ONE time you got detention. Of course we’re gonna talk about it. Ricky signed. “Ocean got detention?” Mischa said, surprised. Noel nodded with glee. “Yup! A whole months worth to be exact.” He said in a sing song voice. “Oh we have got to hear this story now.” Penny said with a laugh. Ocean sighed.  “Fine just after the story’s finished, never speak of the incident again. Got it?” Ocean said. Mischa and Penny nodded. “Noel, I know you want to tell it so you can.” Ocean said, making Noel grin. “Thank you, darling! Anyway it all started in 10th grade….”

_______

An 15 year old Ocean skips to her Biology class. In her hands she carries a shoe box. Today it was her turn to do a report on a living creature. You had to do an essay and a model. She chose to do hers on snakes. Now most kids had done simple models but Ocean had done something better and it would be the greatest thing that St Cassian had ever seen.

Since Biology was first period for her, she had no time to waste. She got to her classroom ten minutes early and was able to confirm with her teacher that she was going first. She spent those ten minutes going over her report until the bell rang. Kids started milling in, looking tired as they did so. Ocean wasn’t offended, she knew they would be more alert when she did her report. Constance sat down next to her.

“Hey Ocean!” She said, grinning at her friend. Ocean smiled back. “Hey Constance, you ready for my report today?” She asked and Constance nodded. “I’m sure you’re gonna do great!” Constance said. “Of course I will. I always do.” Ocean said as the teacher took attendance, not noticing the slightly irritated look on Constance’s face. 

“Time for reports. Ocean you’re up first.” The teacher announced after attendance. Ocean jumped up from her seat, grabbing her report and the box that contained her “model”. She looked over the students. She only knew 3 of them properly. Ricky, Noel, and Constance. Constance was paying attention, Noel appeared to be staring off into space, and Ricky was reading a comic book.

Well at least someone she knew was paying attention. “Fellow students. Today I will tell you about snakes. But first, like always, I must show you my model.” Ocean said and opened the box. The plan was to scoop up one of the snakes she had in there and start talking about it.

However when she opened the box, Ocean realized that the snakes were missing. She had put 5 snakes in the box because they were in her backyard and she needed a model. But now there were no snakes in the box. She panicked. “Uh so slight change of plans. Everyone run.” Ocean said quickly. “Why?” Noel asked. 

“Because the 5 live snakes I brought in as my model are missing.” Ocean said carefully, trying to remain calm. Silence fell over the room before someone screamed. This lead to everyone running out of the classroom, Ocean included. 

“Miss. O’Connell Rosenberg! My office now!” The principal announced after the teacher filled him in. Ocean gulped. This wasn’t good. “Sit down.” He said when she walked in. Ocean sat. “I have been told that you’re the reason why I saw a snake in the teachers lounge and why half of our students are running around screaming?” He said sternly. Ocean started crying. “Please sir! I didn’t mean to! Please don’t expel me!” She wailed. The principal looked at her alarmed. 

“You’re not getting expelled child. Your record is clean so there is nothing that would get expelled with this. However, I do have to give you a punishment.” He said, making Ocean blink. “Oh. So what’s my punishment?” She asked. “A month of detention.” He said simply.

Ocean sighed. At least it was better than expulsion. 

________

“And that’s the story of how Ocean got detention!” Noel finished. Mischa was laughing while Penny looked deep in thought. “Wait os Ocean the reason why we can’t bring in live animals?” She asked and Noel nodded. “Yes, I think so.” He said and Penny laughed. “Congratulations Ocean, you officially had a rule made because you.” She said and Ocean rolled her eyes. 

“Yes yes. And now let’s never speak of it again.”

Episode 1.4 Aliens of London

so no one cares but I started watching breaking bad today. I have never seen it so this is my first exposure. it's really damn good so far.

ANYWAYS I remember really liking this episode! Let's go!

Nine just cheesing when Rose is walking off to see her mum.

Also the music starts off so sentimental to just distort and waver down when the 'missing' poster is in shot

And the PANIK in Nines face when he sees the poster.

Also love the face when he says "not 12 hours, it's 12 months. Sorry.' like whoopsie!

BAD WOLF MENTIONED (Like BIG TIME ITS THERE ON THE TARDIS)

Jackie is such a mom. That is a compliment. She's written so believably, like yeah, my mom would go off on me like that too. Holy shit.

And poor Nine. He's just standing there. Soooo awkward. He really just can't do domestics.

The utter offense Rose and Nine get when the officer asks if what's between them is a sexual thing. Not yet dude, they're still figuring things out.

"How old are you then? 40? 45?" Nines face like nope, not even

"STITCH THIS MATE" we stan Jackie Tyler in this house.

Rose's face during this whole thing...she's been here before. Absolutely.

Any scene with Rose and Jackie hits me hard because it reminds me of me and my mom. I'm an only child, just like Rose. I'm my moms baby. At one point, it was just me and her. And honestly I could see my mom acting just like Jackie does in this situation.

"I don't do families." Sure, Jan.

Remember when I said Nine and Rose can't stay mad at each other? Stays true in this interaction. Rose goes from saying "You're so useless..." to Nine to laughing at his jokes.

"Your face!" "It hurts!" "You're so gay!" Just, them. Being them. I love them.

Of course the spaceship hits Big Ben. This is Doctor Who after all.

FANTASTIC

"I'm so glad we got you." 🙄

Another scene that puts Nine waaaaay out of his element. Back at the Tyler's flat with all their friends. He just looks so uncomfortable.

and where's he's wrestling the remote away from the little boy pffft

HARRIET JONES THERE SHE IS

Yes the fart jokes are terrible but I'm also a child and I think they're great and the fact that they actually give a reason for why it happens is pretty great and makes it even funnier

tbh I'd take fart jokes over awkwardly written innuendo any day

"It's just a bit human in there for me." He doesn't even sound disgusted when he speaks, more unnerved? Stressed? Aww.

And the utter JOY he has over the human race actually evolving and changing is wonderful! the fact that he doesn't want to interfere because he wants it to happen naturally!

"TARDIS key." more like "We're moving in together. My home is now your home." Everytime it happens, it's wonderful.

Rose looks all giddy with the key in her hand. 🥹

ELLO E.T

"DOCTAAAAAAAH-!" *CRASH!*

"Damn, you've seen through my cunning plan." The fucking delivery of this line xD

NINE SHUSHING THE SCREWDRIVER. it's such a small scene but I freaking love it

Then walking in on the soliders and smiling at their pointed guns. sirrrrrr

BUT THEN FOLLOW HIM WHEN HE SOUNDS LIKE HE KNOWS WHAT HES TALKING ABOUT

The genuine hurt when they shoot the pig alien. God I love nine. ���

"I'm shaking my BOOTY." It's so cheesy and stupid I love it

Seriously, The Slitheen are great. Goofy mother fuckers but when it comes down to brass tacks they are ruthless and terrifying. Those are the best kind of DW baddies.

Honestly, Mickey is justified in how he feels. Accused over and over of killing your girlfriend.

"He's not my boyfriend, Mickey! He's better than that. He's much more important." Yeah I'm completely normal about this line.

"Ricky"

"Think you know your own name, how stupid are you?" NINE CHILL

He's honestly such a twit to Mickey but it's too funny I'm sorry

God you can just see the cracks in Mickey and Rose's relationship. And they weren't caused by the Doctor. They were always there. :(

"I had a wife, mistress and a young farmer." "God I was busy." Jesus Christ.

eeeeyyyy it's UNIT.

"Take me to your leader!"

And then the car ride banter. And him waving at the press!! Sir I just love you so much

"Lloyd George used to drink me under the table." See this is funny because the Doctor really doesn't drink. At all. Each time they've tasted alcohol it makes them gag.

AND HOW INSISTENT HE IS THAT ROSE STAYS WITH HIM GAAAAAH

Look at Rose being all capable without the Doctor around! Looking around for alien technology with Harriet! She's so amazing I love her

"Excuse me, you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" Iconic.

Maybe I'm immune to bad CG because this isn't even that terrible?

ngl though these costumes are pretty damn sweet.

Conclusion:

Yeah this episode is still a banger. still a big fan of the Slitheen. not my favorite alien in DW (that would probably be the Ood. I miss the Ood...)

I'll be watching WW3 tomorrow probably. Night!

Larry says that last week he drew Starfish Charlie and the rest of those bottom feeders to the surface and will soon be depositing them on a garbage barge where they belong. Sudu agreed that might happen soon, but not today, as Kerry Morton, Starboy Charlie, and Marcus Mathers are preparing for a Trios Kingdom qualifying match this Saturday in Scranton and will not be appearing today. Zbyszko has talked to the staff at Dorney Park and will be alerted if any of them come through the turnstiles. Sudu stated that only Brogan Finlay and Ricky Morton are in the building today for their match against MV Young and Bryan Keith. Larry adds that Kylie Paige is also in the building, Sudu mentions Kylie’s claim not to have had any contact with Morton or his followers, including her own sister, which draws an eye roll from Zbyszko.

- "The Bounty Hunter" Bryan Keith allowed MV Young to begin the match and abandoned him when he went for the tag. MV Young was defeated by Finlay and Morton and the two continued their attack after the match. When confronted by Larry Zbyszko, The Bounty Hunter did the universal sign for money with his fingers, implying that his services were purchased by someone in the Kerry Morton camp. Despite their match later in the broadcast - Shaw Mason, Tim Bosby, and Hunter Holdcraft ran down and chased off Finlay and Morton. Shaw Mason got on the microphone and reminded Finlay that he forced Brogan to tap out to the ankle lock back in Wilkes-Barre and he'd be happy to do it again next week on Defy TV!

- We cut to the private dressing room of The Family Tree where Afa Jr. asks their advisor Smart Guy Tod Gordon why he has not scheduled them for any matches since they qualified for Trios Kingdom. Smart Guy informed Afa that Journey Fatu approached him about wanting the group to stay healthy before Trios Kingdom. Afa Jr. demanded to know why Journey did not come to his Tribal Elder with these concerns. Afa questioned Journey's commitment; perhaps he's planning to leave The Family Tree to team with Zilla Fatu rather than his partner Sean Maluta.

[moonstream-05]

Yeah absolutely so the playlist is quite long lol and like I said quite a lot of Taylor swift but ill also include some of my reasonings lol

The Great War (Taylor Swift) - it reminds me of the battle in s1 "your hand was the one I reached for all throughout the Great War" and also "It turned something bigger somewhere in the haze got a sense Ive been betrayed" - Stella finding out about the switch

Enchanted (Taylor Swift) - "it was enchanting to meet you" I mean come on

Style (Taylor Swift) - "and when we go crashing down, we come back every time"

Gorgeous (Taylor Swift) - that whole song is pretty much them like omg, "you've ruined my life by not being mine" "There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have"

I Think He Knows (Taylor Swift) - "He got my heartbeat skipping down 16th avenue"

PAPER RINGS!! (Taylor Swift) - paper rings is basically their theme song like "I like shiny things but id marry you with paper rings" like that is so perfect.

Cardigan (Taylor Swift) - not all of the song obviously but certain lyrics really remind me of them "When I felt like an old carding under someones bed you put me on and said I was your labourite." "you drew stars around my scars but now I'm bleeding" after the switch :(

Mirrorball (Taylor Swift) - this isn't really Brella but its totally Stella like she's the biggest mirrorball ever and I relate to her!!

Line without a hook (Ricky Montgomery) - I see this from Brandons pov like he thinks he's not good enough for her because she's this gorgeous princess and he's a squire

Golden (Harry Styles) - I mean also perfect "your so golden"

Young and Beautiful (Lana Del Rey)- firstly Stella is so Lana but this song is defo stellas insecurities and hoping Brandon will stick with her even if she's not Beautiful

Until I found you (Stephen Sanchez)- I just can't help but think of them listening to it

and quite a few more lol

OMG THANK YOU I LOVE YOU XXXXX

<3 <3 <3 <3

@mylordcheezer has technically given me permission to rant, so here it is.

1. James and Sirius would so watch h2o because it’s almost like their animagus, as in they turn into mermaids and they have to hide it. Also, the fact that’s they would be outcast by society if they revealed their secret would remind them of Remus (also Emma Cleo and Ricky go a bit loopy on full moons and they have to hide from the moon and other people, almost like the shrieking shack). Mostly they would watch it just for funsies tho

2. (Kinda spoilers for s1 young royals) Regulus would relate to Wilhelm, they both grew up as the “spare” but then when their older brothers left/died, they suddenly became the important one. They also both had to hide their queerness. Also, regulus would totally learn Swedish and become fluent in it. (Also, he always has captions on because he can’t hear it if the captions aren’t on. I’m totally not saying that because it’s how I watch stuff)

3. I fully believe that James would have read the heartstopper comics before the show came out, and Sirius would be a “heartstopper is cringe” girlie, until James forced him to watch it. Then he would be OBSESSED. I’m talking, reading all the comics, buying them, watching the show on repeat, starting a whole fan account, the whole lot. Also, he’d tease James about the fact that hes nick and regulus is Charlie.

4. Evan and barty would binge heartbreak high in one night, idk why they would like it so much, it just gives off their vibes. Bartys favourite character would be Harper and evans would be ca$h

5. Dorcas would LOVE the chilling adventures of Sabrina because like, it’s witchy and stuff, idk it just gives off her vibes, she would laugh about how wrong they were about witchcraft though. And gossip girl, I actually haven’t watched it so I don’t really know, but my friend said it kinda gave of dorcas vibes and I can see it so yah

6. Omg lily and Mary just give off Gilmore girl vibes. Mary would love Lorelei and lily would love sookie, like so much. They would both be like, edward Cullen level obsessed. And gossip girl, they’d watch that because dorcas put them onto it and they’d have weekly picnics to discuss it.

7. I feel like lily would just relate to Anne, like, I don’t really have a reason behind this one, lily just gives cottagecore girlie vibes

8. Pandora would watch the good place because it’s kinda like upbeat but also really dark and twisted, which is kinda like her. Like I see pandora as being really light and kinda loopy and stuff but she has really dark interests.

9. Pandora and regulus would so watch umbrella academy together, again, it’s kinda dark and a bit out there so obviously they’d both love it. Regulus would relate to viktor, because they both feel out of place in their families. Pandora would try to guess what’s gonna happen next and she’d be eerily right every time.

10. Peter and Sirius’s friendship is silly and I see it as childish in the best way possible, so they’d watch teen titans religiously. Sirius would LOVE starfire (idk why but I just think he would) and Peter would be obsessed with beast boy or robin.

11. Remus would watch shadow and bone for the six of crows parts. He wouldn’t be obsessed with the shadow and bone parts, but with six of crows? YES. He obviously would have read the books (the shadow and bone trilogy and the six of crows duology). He would relate so much to kaz, because they both feel like they aren’t deserving of love and that they shouldn’t love someone because it makes them vulnerable. Also, they both grew up kinda having to fend for themselves. Ok so derry girls, I think he’d just watch it for fun, it would be something he can watch to take his mind off things. I also think that Erin, Orla, Michelle and Clare would remind him of the marauders

12. Marlene would watch atypical for Casey, like Casey would be the reason she watched the show. And I also think she’d just watch kinda shitty shows just because she can. Like Kath and Kim (which is the best show ever made). She would love Kath and Sharon, just because they’re icons. That’s it really

13. James and regulus would watch the end of the f***ing world and I am not okay with this because James would want to watch something with his boyfriend, and even though he’s not as interested in the supernatural/dark sides of the shows, he sees how happy it makes regulus, and that makes it all worth it. Honestly, he’d spend the whole time looking at regulus

14. Regulus and Remus’ friendship gives me life, so naturally I have to have a show that they watch together, which is the queens gambit. Tbh I haven’t watched it, but I just feel like they would both like it.

15. I KNOW THIS IS A NEW ONE BUT I HAD TO ADD IT. Sirius would watch young royals so he could have something to talk about with regulus.

Ok that’s the end of my rambles, that was really great because none of my friends care about the marauders, so dumping my thoughts on random internet people is my next best option. Enjoy 😉.

Tv shows I think people from the marauders era would watch:

James and Sirius: H2o (and they’d fucking love very minute of it)

Regulus: Young Royals

Sirius and James (yes again, because I can): heartstopper

Evan and Barty: Heartbreak high (the new one)

Dorcas: the chilling adventures of Sabrina/gossip girl

Lily and Mary: Gilmore girls/ gossip girl (they’d talk about it with dorcas)

Lily: Anne with an E

Pandora: the good place

Pandora and regulus: umbrella academy

Peter and Sirius: teen titans go

Remus: shadow and bone (he’s obviously read the books first tho)/ derry girls

Marlene: atypical/sex education/ Kath and Kim

James and regulus: the end of the f***ing world/I am not ok with this

Regulus and Remus: the queens gambit

I HAVE REALLY DETAILED EXPLANATIONS TO ALL OF THESE BUT THEYRE REALLY LONG AND RAMBLY SO IM LEAVING THEM OUT

[trippymockingquake]

Okay HSMTMTS fans, shippers, etc.. I’m calling on all the WILDCATS!

You can like ship. You can like a character. You can hate a ship. You can hate a character. But STOP sending HATE and DEATH THREATS to the actors that play said characters. They are NOT the CHARACTER. I repeat THEY ARE NOT THE CHARACTER.

To all the PORTWELL and RINA and RINI shippers STOP going at each other’s throats. SOME of you yes SOME of you are boarder line cyber bullying others the last time I saw that was when CLEXA and BELLARKE were going at it. BELLARKE was canon in the books and CLEXA was canon in the show. If YOU, yes YOU do not like that your SHIP ended or your character left the show guess what you can do. You can write fanfiction. I do it on another blog. But also ao3, fanfiction.net, here on tumblr, or you can create your own free website for it.

I didn’t really ship anyone in the show I enjoy seblos and redlyn (not sure how it’s spelled) but portwell grew on me in season 2 in season 1 it was rina but after half the season I didn’t care anymore. I HATE Ricky with a burning passion and not because of Joshua Bassett or anything but because Ricky reminds me of myself and I do have to say it was sort of annoying that he went after someone who was in a relationship (nini). But I don’t hate Joshua. I do however have a hatred for Olivia Rodrigo and to answer why, I literally don’t know I just do, so by default I ended up disliking nini but even she grew on me. Nini not Olivia. But I’m not sending her hate mail or death threats the same with Josh. I’m literally just now getting more into other projects Sofia is in and Matt and while I too hated EJ at first for all the bad things he did I didn’t send hate or death threats to Matt. When Gina confessed her attraction to Ricky during season 2 when we got the flashback I hated that but again I didn’t send hate mail or death threats to her. When Maddox got on my nerves during this season I didn’t send horrible stuff to Saylor or Julia or Meg. I don’t know how Adrian (jet) is doing on that front or Dara for that matter. You all have got to STOP, just like YOU don’t want people messing with your mental health and sending you stuff like that YOU guys have to STOP messing with there’s and each other’s. When Falcon and the winter soldier came out the actor who plays John walker got so much hate mail and death threats because of the character he played and ultimately it started to effect him. So words do hurt and they are powerful so please be mindful. Each one of our HSMTMTS actors are young and they go through the same things some of us go through. I know this was a lot to read but PLEASE learn to separate characters and actors. And PLEASE STOP putting each other down and bullying each other. I’m not saying you can’t be mad or hurt but if you are that upset about your character leaving or a ship not going quite your way write fanfiction on wattpad, ao3, fanfiction.net, or anything because you probably aren’t alone and there are a lot of people I’m sure who would love to read it or also write but they don’t know how or how to go about it. If you have any questions on where to go with your fanfiction feel free to dm me. If you want to vent about something even if it’s about a different show or just because you want to talk to a stranger feel free to dm me. I struggle with depression on a daily so I know what it’s like to just need to vent. If you want to get what I think on characters or on why I hate some characters or try to get me to like Olivia feel free to dm me. If you’re a senior in high school and you’re concerned about your future please dm me I’ve been there and my whole job last year was to help high schoolers figure it out. I keep saying dm because I don’t know if I have my asks up to where you can do anonymous. Stay safe.

hi! I was wondering if I could request a fluffy Ash imagine. I was wondering if it could be related to the song Talk to You by Ricky Montgomery. I had the idea that maybe Ash and y/n knew each other from his hometown and they had feelings for each other but never acted on it and they were close friends but lost contact with each other and then they found their way back but he was afraid of talking to her again bc he didn't think she remembered him but she does remember him and they're both happy

I sure can. I am so so sorry about the super duper long wait. My mental health failed me. I didn't really have time for anything. Thank you so so much Nonnie. I am in love with your idea. So here you have it. I used she/her pronouns. Hope you like it! I switched it up a bit, feel free to scold me if needed :)

The new us

Ash Lynx x fem!reader

Tokyo was a very busy city. You could see so many faces on the street, so many people waiting to get on the metro and just...so many people in general. Ash often felt overwhelmed, especially when he saw a face that reminded him of someone from his childhood. That was until he saw a very familiar face.

He was already running late to a photoshoot. It was on the other side of the city. As he was passing building after building, he happened to look inside a small cafe. The glass was clear enough to see the faces of the people inside. And there he saw her. Stopping in his tracks, he leaned closer to the glass to take a better look. She had some sort of apron with some animals and flowers on it. On her left strap was a pin made from a bottle cap and on her right was another pin made from a really really old bullet.

Summer was a very hot season. Being in the countryside didn't make it any better. The river side was packed with kids and young teens. The water was a source of relief for everyone. 10 year old Ash didn't like getting naked. He also knew he would suffer some pretty bad consequences if he came home to his father with wet clothes. The little 8 year old girl holding his hand was a lot happier than him. Her smile was so big, it almost made Ash smile as well. But nothing about his other surroundings was happy, so he chose to keep his happiness internal. Some teens 2-3 years older than him were looking at them, some laughing, some pointing, but somehow she didn't really seem to mind all that much. He really really wanted to punch them, but the peak of his "punching them so hard they faint" feeling was when a 14 year old boy named William Wills, who was known for tormenting younger girls, yelled out to her.

"Hey! Y/N! Did you guys pay each other? Like...how much does he owe you now, since you look so much better. Look at those doe eyes. Do you have the same big eyes when you go down on him?"

Ash got what he meant and was ready to trow some punches, but looking down at her very confused face, he realized that what William had said to her just now, to her 8 year old innocent happy mind, didn't really make any sense. If he punched him, he would have to explain to her why. Her mind wouldn't be as happy if she knew. She might as well look at him with disgust if she knew what had gone down in the home just up the hill. So he opted for a safer option: pulling her closer and kissing the top of her head. She let out a very childish squeal and moving her head to look up at him.

"Ash...why?" "Cause i wanna keep you safe. Also...cause you are my only friend." "But what about Griff? You said you are best friends." "We still are. But you can be my other bestfriend. Two is always better than one." Ash was smiling down at her, but her face was getting a little sad, her smooth forhead twisting in a sad frown. "But you are my only friend." Tears were almost spilling from her big eyes and it hurt him so much. He really had to say that hm? Yeah, good job Ash! "Y/N, Griff is my brother. He doesn't really count. If you had sibling they would be you other best friends too. Out of other children, you are my only best friend. I'm sorry. Here! Have this. I made it myself."

Ash reached the pocket of his jeans, taking off a pin made from an old bullet. Giving it to her, he pressed one more kiss to her hairline. She looked at the bullet and smiled ever so brightly, the events with the Wills boy already forgotten.

He knew he had a job, but she was there. She was right in front of him. The photoshoot could wait for a day. The company was small, they could wait, they needed him, not the other way around. He toom the blazer off and went in. The coffee shop was cute. It fit the person he rememberd her to be. He sat down at a random table and looked over the menu. Aroound 5 minutes into his stay, a girl popped out of nowhere. She had piercings everywhere, her hair was messy. She looked nice, but she wasn't the one he was looking for.

"You ready to order?" "I...uhm...I was looking for..." "It's ok Amaya, I'll take care of it for him." There she was. He let out a sigh. Oh shit wait. What if she didn't know who he was. He shouldn't say anything anyway.

"Just a blueberry tea with a white chocolate cookie please." "Are you going to pretend not to know who I am? Fine by me. Coming right up sir." He tried grabbing her wrist, but she shook him off. "Wait. Y/N please. It's been what 10 years since..." "12 years since you left me. A blueberry tea and a white chocolate cookie coming right up." "Listen, i know you're upset and you didn't deserve that but let me..." "...make it up to you? Not gonna happen Aslan, don't wanna see you again. Don't know why I started that convo."

"Ash, you don't have to leave!" "I so do. I am so done with this shitty town. I'm leaving for the big city. I can have a life there. This place is a dump. And the people here can go kill themselves." She didn't seem to approve of his statement, looking up at him with a tear stained face.

"You said i was your best friend. So why would you be friends with a bad person and then leave. Ash please stay! We can leave when we are older. We can go together then. Please don't leave me!" "Not everything is about you ok? Did you ever stop to consider what happened to me? Did you ever think about how it made me feel?" "You always say that you prtect me from what happened to you, but you've never told me what it was. Ash, tell me. Don't leave like this." "No. I won't tell you. You're nine. You wouldn't get it" "How would you know?" "I just do, Y/N. Drop it. Let go of my arm! I'll miss the bus." "No! I love you Ash. You're my only friend. I'll rip the flannel holding onto you if i have to."

And with that, Ash pulled himself away from her, taking off his backpack and flannel and throwing the shirt at her. Turning on his heel, he ran to the bus stop, getting on the bus, not even waving her goodbye, leaving the young girl on her knees, crying.

"I want to tell you..." "No no no no. You don't have the right to want anything at all. You have the right to go to hell. You told me nothing back then and now I don't want you to say anything." "You have to listen to me. I was a kid. I was afraid. I was alone." "Like hell you were. I was with you. You were all I had. But don't worry. 'you wouldn't get it'. Well i did get it after you left. I got everything you said that day. But not from you. From William fucking Willis and his friends while they were pulling on my shirt and throwing sand in my eyes. Go to hell Aslan!" "Did they do anything to you?" "Wouldn't you like to know?" "Please let me talk. Let me tell you why I left. I had a good reason. Please, Y/N." "Funny how you are the pleading one now." "I'm going to wait here and follow you around for as long as it takes until you hear me out." "You hurt me and i don't want to talk to you. I took the cap pin you had on your flannel and tried to move on. Get out of the shop, go on the small alley on the left and wait there. You have five minutes to convince me. Five. And I decided wether we see each other again after that." "Yes, ma'am." That truly was all he needed. Just a second to have a small talk. The alley was not as bad as the ones is the USA are. This one was about as long as the shop, front and back room. She was as punctual as ever, two minutes and she was already in front of him.

"Get to talking, Aslan. Or Ash. Or whatever the hell they call you. Your five minutes begin now." "Right. I have no clue how to word this, but I am so sorry. After I left town I went to live in the city. But life for a kid with no money, little clothing items and no relatives to help is a tough life. A man came to me, he told me he had been watching me and knew I needed help. But the help he offered was a curse. Men came to see me whenever they felt like it, took turns using me, took pictures, recorded the entire ordeal, paid that man well and left. That was my life for years. I managed to break the cycle and got revenge on mostly everyone involved. I moved to Japan. I visited the town, well visited sounds as if it was fun, the right word is I went into town. I looked for you and asked around. They told me you moved to an aunt of yours as soon as you turned, what 13?" "Her name was Celeste, my great aunt. We moved to France for a couple years, but she died and left me just enough to move and get a good apartment. I moved to Japan on a whim. How did you end up here?" "A friend of mine, who was a huge support durring my revenge time. He told me to start fresh. It seems that I have moved on, all memories of my childhood forgotten. The truth is, I have been imagining this moment for years. The moment when I would see you again. I hoped you would hear me out, try to understand and maybe forgive me." "Forgiveness is something you have to earn, Aslan. I won't let you off the hook easily. I will make this as hard as I can. Just know that I heard you, I am trying to understand you and will try to forgive you." "Earn forgivene...you'll let me see you again? After today, i mean. We'll see each other again?" "My shift ends at 6 today. You can wait 7 more hours. I am planning on dancing tonight, so don't wear anything formal. We can talk over dinner. I'm not sure I understand how you got revenge on them, but I'll let you explain." "6, dance, nothing formal, dinner. Understood. I'll see you here." "I'll see you here, Ash."

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Fem! Reader

Masterlist

Chapter 5

“Pretty boy, didn’t you hear Hotch? He said we could call it a night,” Morgan poked his head back into the conference room.

“I think I’m gonna stay back and work a few more hours,” Spencer said, staring at the evidence board.

“Kid, you look dead on your feet. Get some rest,” Morgan replied.

Spencer sighed, turning to face Morgan.

“Jo has a tee ball game on Sunday and I really don’t want to miss it. I think I’ve missed enough of her childhood. So, if we can just catch a break on this case in two days then I can prove to her mom that I can be a good dad,” he turned his attention back to the board.

“So you’re finally gonna talk about this secretive family of yours,” Morgan said, taking a seat.

“In my defense, it was a secret from me too,” Spencer turned around to face him.

“Who is the mom? Even Garcia is having trouble finding her,” Morgan leaned forward in his seat curiously.

“Well that would make sense because my name wouldn’t appear on the birth certificate or any other important documents,” he sighed, “Her name is Y/N and we dated in college for a while before I moved here.”

“You still love her, don’t you?” Morgan asked.

Spencer cleared his throat and avoided eye contact.

“Oh my god, you totally do. Pretty Ricky skipped fifty steps in the game of life and now has a wife and kid,” Morgan smirked.

“She is hardly my wife. She is simply tolerating me at the moment which I am grateful for,” Spencer said.

-

“Baby J, come on! We can’t be late! The team can’t be missing their big hitter,” you called up the stairs.

Jo came running down. She had her red baseball cap on and her hair was in two french braids that you had spent all morning trying to get her to sit still to do.

As you were loading up the car, you heard footsteps behind you. You whipped around to see Spencer holding two cups of coffee.

“Hey,” he gave you a slight smile and extended one of the cups forward for you to take.

“Spencer!” Jo shouted as she ran out of the front door, clomping in her little pink cleats.

“Hey kiddo!” Spencer said as he knelt down to her level and opened his satchel, “I brought your mom coffee but I didn’t want you to feel left out so I got you an apple juice.”

“Thank you!” Jo took the drink from Spencer and twisted open the cap, taking a sip.

“Okay we really need to go. We’re already a few minutes behind and your coach likes you to be there early to warm up a little with your friends,” you picked Jo up and plopped her into her car seat, buckling her in.

“Is Henry going to be there?” Jo asked hopefully.

“Yep, Henry will be there,” you replied, turning on the ignition to the car.

“Spencer, Mommy brought me to the park the other day and we practiced hitting so I’m really good now,” Jo beamed.

“I am sure you are. I can’t wait to see you in action. The other team won’t know what hit them,” Spencer smiled and took a sip of his coffee.

When you parked the car, Spencer got out and unbuckled Jo, lifting her out of the seat.

“Okay, I am just going to talk to the coach for a second because I have snack duty next practice so I need to know of any allergies or dietary restrictions. I’ll meet you by the bleachers. I don’t see JJ yet,” you explained.

Spencer nodded and made his way over to the bleachers, sitting a few rows in front of a huddle of moms.

“Of course, here comes Y/N barely on time today. You know she showed up seven minutes late the other day? I think I may pack Timmy a snack in case she forgets she has snack duty next week,” one woman who was in the center of the group said and all the other women laughed.

Spencer clenched his jaw and turned around, “That’s rather rude for a single working mom who’s trying her best, don’t you think?” he snapped.

The woman looked appalled and opened and closed her mouth a few times silently.

Spencer stood and walked over to you as you were headed his way.

“I think we should stand” is all he said.

You noticed the group of moms eyeing you and nodded. You didn’t want to know what they said this time.

“You know Jo was really excited when I told her you were coming to the game today,” you said as you leaned forward against the fence.

“I am running on two hours and nineteen minutes of sleep but this is worth it,” he chuckled.

Before you had a chance to respond, you felt someone lean up against the fence next to you.

“Hey guys, sorry we’re late. Henry was throwing an absolute fit this morning. The only way I got him to get in the car is saying Jo would be there,” JJ explained.

“Jo was asking if Henry would be there in the car,” you laughed.

“Jo’s up to bat!” Spencer excitedly pointed to the home plate which Jo was hovering over with a comically large helmet and a bat she was trying her best to hold up straight.

“Come on, Jo!!!” you all cheered.

Since this was tee ball, the coaches were pitching to the children and they were slowly lobbing the baseballs. But still, the kids had to have good hand-to-eye coordination to hit it.

Jo swung once and missed the ball and looked to you with a frown.

“Hey, it’s alright, Baby J, you’ve got this. Remember eyes on the ball like we practiced,” you encouraged.

Jo swung again and made contact, the ball flying a little past the pitcher’s mound which was pretty good for a kid her age.

“YES JO!” you shouted.

“RUN!!!” Spencer reminded her with a grin, pointing to first base.

Jo ran her heart out to first base, holding the helmet steady on her head so she could see. Once she made it, Spencer gave her a thumbs up and you blew her a kiss.

-

“I think that performance deserves a milkshake,” you chirped as Jo came running toward you after the game ended.

“JJ and Henry, do you want to join us?” you asked.

“Oh we would love to but Will is already cooking dinner at home. Maybe next time,” she smiled.

Once Y/N bent down to pick Jo up, JJ winked at Spencer and mouthed something along the lines of “family time” and Spencer blushed.

“Is the diner down the street okay?” you asked Spencer.

“Of course, let’s go,” he replied.

In the middle of the walk, Jo started to squirm in your arms.

“I wanna have Spencer carry me,” she pouted and made a grabby motion towards Spencer.

Spencer looked at for reassurance, you nodded and transferred Jo into his arms for the rest of the short walk.

The waitress guided you all to a booth in the corner of the room.

“She’s so precious,” the waitress smiled, looking at Jo in Spencer’s arms.

“Thank you,” you butted in.

Once you all had eaten and Jo had slurped up the last of her milkshake, the waitress placed the bill on the table.

You and Spencer both reached for it but he was quicker so his hand ended up under yours.

“Let me pay, Spencer,” you narrowed your eyes, not removing your hand.

“Please let me do this, Y/N. I know you are perfectly capable of paying but please just let me,” he insisted.

“Fine,” you removed your hand from on top of his.

Spencer already missed the familiar warmth of your touch.

“Mommy, is Spencer coming to our movie night?” Jo asked.

“I guess that’s up to him. Tell him what movie we are watching,” you said.

“Lion King!” Jo exclaimed.

“For the five hundredth time,” you muttered under breath.

“Sounds like fun! I’m in,” Spencer replied.

-

About fifteen minutes into the movie, you whispered to Spencer “get up.”

“What?” Spencer whispered back.

All of a sudden, lively music started playing and Jo jumped up from the couch.

“We always needed a Zazu, Mommy!” Jo giggled.

“Okay so Jo is always Simba, I’m Nala, and you’re Zazu the bird,” you explained.

“I don’t know the words. I’ve never seen the movie before,” Spencer panicked.

“Well lucky for you, it’s the sing-along version so the words appear on screen. You’re not getting out of this one,” you laughed.

“I’m going to be a mighty king so enemies beware!” Jo sang.

“Well I’ve never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair,” Spencer stood up.

“I’m going to be the main event like no king was before. I’m brushing up on looking down and working on my ROAR!” Jo shouted.

“Thus far a rather uninspiring thing,” Spencer teased.

“Oh I just can’t wait to be king!” Jo bounced around on the couch.

“You have a rather long way to go, young master. If you think-” Spencer jokingly scolded.

“No one saying do this!” Jo interrupted.

“No one saying be there!” you sang.

“No one saying stop that!” Jo sang back.

“No one saying see here!” you both harmonized.

“Now see here!” Spencer shouted.

“Free to run around all day,” Jo began to dance circles around the couch.

“Well that’s definitely out,” Spencer said, chasing after her.

“Free to do it all my way” she giggled as she began to run faster.

The three of you continued to sing and dance along to the rest of the movie. However, by the time the credits began to roll, Spencer and Jo were both out cold. Jo was curled up in his lap.

You snapped a quick photo of the two of them on your phone and then draped a blanket over them and rested your head against the back of the couch, not having the energy to go upstairs to your own room.
