Katherine in 92sies (Part one)

Recently I’ve been wondering how Katherine would’ve been like if she had appeared in 92sies. I get that she is a musical-only character, but I thoought it would be fun to see how she would’ve been if she had appeared in the original movie. So, without any further ado, here’s how I would’ve introduced Katherine in 92sies:

We are introduced to Denton and Katherine in the scene shortly after “The World Will Know.” They’re also watching Jack and Les try to talk to Pulitzer. Denton is intrigued and Katherine is confused as to what the commotion is.

Denton: What’s going on here?

Katherine: I have no idea what all the fuss is about

David: The Newsies’ demands. We’re on strike.

Denton: I’m Bryan Denton, New York Sun. And this is my assistant, Katherine Plumber. And what’s your name?

David: (shyly) David

Katherine: (shakes David’s hand, making him blush) Pleasure to meet you, David.

(David smiles at her, but is still blushing).

David: H-h-hi, Katherine.

Denton: David, as in David and Goliath?

David just continues blushing.

Denton: You really think that old man Pulitzer is gonna listen to your demands?

Katherine: They’re the richest and most powerful men in New York City. I really don’t think that they will give the time of day to a gang of kids who don’t have a penny to their name.

A few seconds later, Jack and Les get kicked out of the building.

Guard: Out, hooligan!

Jack: So’s your old lady. You tell Pulitzer, he needs an appointment with me!

Les: Yeah!

Katherine: (mutters to herself) I knew it wouldn’t work. Jack Kelly, always the show-off.

David walks up to Jack and Les, introducing them Denton and Katherine.

David: (To Jack and Les) This is Denton. He’s a reporter for The Sun. And this is Katherine, his apprentice. (To Denton and Katherine) And this is Jack,  and this is Les.

Jack and Les shake hands with Denton, with no spit, of course. But then he tries to shake hands with Katherine, and she refuses.

Jack: Katherine

Katherine: So, I see you’re David’s friend, and the one who is organizing the whole thing.

Jack: Yeah, what’s it look like to you?

Les: What’s going on?

Jack kneels down to whisper to Les.

Jack: (whispers) It’s a long story, kid. You don’t wanna know all the details.

She glares at him, and he glares back. But as soon as she sees Les, her gaze softens.  She kneels down and squeezes his cheeks, making him blush.

Katherine: (to Les) Why, aren’t you the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life?

Katherine: (to David) You didn’t tell me you had a little brother! He’s so adorable!

David: (embarrassed) Yep, he is my brother.

A few seconds later, they’re at Tibby’s.

Jack: So this snooty mug says, ‘You can’t see Mr. Pulitzer. No one sees Mr. Pulitzer.’ Real hoity-toity, you know the type?

(Katherine sighs and rolls his eyes at him. Jack does the same to her. It’s pretty obvious that they have some history.)

Les: Real hoity-toity.

(As soon as Les talks, Katherine giggles at him.)

Jack: So that’s when I says to him, ‘Listen, I ain’t in the habit of transacting no business with office boys. Just tell him Jack Kelly’s here to see him now!’  

Les: That’s when he threw us out.  

Denton: Does he scare you? You’re going up against the most powerful man in New York City.  

Katherine: Who just so happens to be my father. I don’t associate with him, so that’s why I go by Plumber.

Jack: Oh yeah, look at me. I’m tremblin’.

Katherine: Jack Kelly. Always the troublemaker.

Katherine rolls her eyes at Jack, but Les giggles at his impression.

Denton: Alright, keep me informed. I want to know everything that’s going on.

Katherine: And I want to know about it, too.

David: Are we really an important story?

Katherine: Well, aren’t you?

David: Depends on what you call important or not.

DENTON: Well, what’s important? Last year I covered the war in Cuba. Charged up San Juan Hill with Col. Teddy Roosevelt. That was an important story. So, is the newsie’s strike important? That all depends on you.  

JACK: So my name’s really gonna be in the papers?

Denton: Any objections

Jack: Not as long as you get it right. Oh, and Denton, Katherine. No pictures.

Katherine: (sighs) As you wish, Jack. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Jack: (shoots back)   Excuse me, your Highness!

David, Les and Denton all exchange shocked glances at each other.

Later on, David, Jack and Boots walk home from Brooklyn. Jack decides that now would be a good time to explain his trouble with Katherine.

David: What was that all about, Jack? You and Katherine really seem to hate each other.

Jack: Wanna know why? Well, me and Katherine used to be a thing. I was 13 and she was 14. We was always arguing and fighting over every little thing. After two months, she broke up with me. Said that I was a bad boyfriend and that we were done. So that explains the tension between us.

David: I’m really sorry, Jack.

Jack: Nah. It’s cool. Even back then, I understood why our relationship ended. Still, it really hurt, and it took me a week to get over the break up.

a part two to the luke angst?

His biggest regret ❧

Part one

Luke had been beside himself for the last two weeks of the summer, just as she promised Y/n had left the morning after their fight, leaving him alone with his thoughts. He broke it off with his girlfriend the second his best friend left the lake house, knowing that if he intended to fix his wrongs the now ex-girlfriend was not a part of the solution.

Quinn had heavily scolded his youngest brother for days following the departure of Y/no. “You’re an idiot!” "it's not my fault she and my girlfriend don't get along!" “It’s not even about your girlfriend, it’s the fact that you felt the need to dictate her decisions when you basically removed her from your life!” Quinn was at a loss, what wasn't Luke understanding how wrong he is, “You didn’t even invite her to the lake, you’ve been best friends since you were babies!”

Let’s just say Quinn definitely made Luke feel like shit, what was worse was when Ellen, Jack, and even Jim put their two cents in.

Things only got worse for Luke during the school year, sophomore year was expected to be his last season as a Wolverine, and then he’d be headed to New Jersey with Jack, as stated in his plan. But now he was going to be spending this year attempting to make it up to the girl who’d been at his side for years and years.

“Y/n this is Luca,” Ethan introduced them as she smiled shyly. Luke didn’t like that at all, his new teammate practically eye fucking her at parties as she stared at him innocently (let’s be real, she’s only into it cause she knew it would piss off Luke)

Luca had become her target, and he was just as into their little game as she was into pissing off Luke.

They went on study dates and left parties together, it was a no strings attached ordeal that they were both thoroughly enjoying.

Luke watched silently and was extremely annoyed. Biting his tongue not to say anything at practices, or to call her to tell her that he needs it to stop. He wasn’t in charge of her, he knew that now, but it took a lot in him to stay quiet when he watched Luca and her flirting in public, or even just conversing in between classes.

It took a long time to realize but over the course of the four months that they weren’t talking he'd come to the conclusion that maybe he’d been way over his head. The conscious thought that he was in love with her was so overwhelming all of the time, so Luke grew even more antisocial as time went on.

Y/n's world paused the moment Luke ran into the bathroom and slammed the door shut, the boy's chest heaving as he locked the door and hid from some girl who had been chasing after him all night. His heart stopped the moment he turned around to see a wide-eyed Y/n splashing some water in her face.

“Sorry” he apologized as his heart beat against his chest, she continued to stare at him, unable to speak, “I’ll leave” “Don’t go, you’re obviously hiding for a reason,” she finally spoke as she dabbed her face off with a face cloth she found in one of the drawers. “Are you okay?” He asked as he reached forward to feel the blotchy red skin on her cheeks. "I drank too much, don't have you to mediate my liquor intake anymore," she grinned as her hand wrapped around his wrist to lower his hand.

Luke smiled as he maneuvered his hand to hold hers, "am I allowed to speak to you now? I have some things I need to say to you" he mumbled as she nodded and sat down on the edge of the tub.

This was his moment to make it right, no excuses, no bullshit to cover up his mistakes, just an apology and some promises to make it better.

"I've been practicing this speech to you for a while, and I'm just gonna start with a sorry, cause that's all that I really want you to take away from it," her eyes started to tear up as she listened, "I was wrong, you have every right to still be mad cause I put you through a lot last year, and that wasn't fair to you, so I'm sorry, and I'm willing to do everything I can so it can go back to the way it was before."

Y/n nodded as her hand dried to tears that had fallen, he could've apologized months ago and she would've accepted it. His words felt very real, she knew they were, she'd heard from all of the guys how lost he was without her guidance in his life, it was just really nice to finally hear it from his mouth.

"Thank you," she stood up to hug you, "I don't think it can go back to the way it was before though." His smiling expression fell as he unburied his face from her neck, "What?" "In our time apart Luke I realized a lot, in the way that I don't think I can keep loving you in the way I'm used to, I need some time to get over you, cause its not fair to you," she said honestly, drunken word vomit as she watched the relief spread on Luke's face, her expression growing confused.

"What if I don't want you to stop loving me that way?" "that's not fair to me then," she said defensively, not understanding what he was insinuating. Her hands left their spot on his chest as she pulled away, he reached down and pulled her hips closer to him, "let me speak," he laughed as her face softened at the sound, "I love you, I'm so dumb for not realizing it sooner, I think I always have though, I just didn't know how to differentiate the two types, but that's because they are the same to me," his face grew flush as he realized just how lovingly she was staring at him.

"You are my best friend, always will be, but you're my best friend in the way that I don't think I'd last another day without you in my life, and in the way that I want to kiss you pretty and then go to sleep with you in my clothes, and the way that my family views you as one of us, there are so many things that make you my best friend, but in the same way that I want you to be a forever type of thing."

Y/n stared at him in shock as he took a deep breath, her hands finding the side of his face as she smirked at him, "I'm glad we're on the same page," she whispered before her hand found the collar of his shirt and slammed his lips onto hers.

[malehypnofantasy]

Aside from Casey, millions of people celebrated their birthday on the same day as him. Some of them celebrated the exact same 21st birthday like Casey. But only one of them also gained the revelation of his power that day, and he's not hesitating to try it on to the masses right away

Jens is working front desk in the local gym of his small hometown just a couple hour away south of Stockholm. He didn't need any messenger whatsoever to work on his power as he's been listening to his family about their respective power when they reached 21 years of age. Jens just tapped into his enhanced inner self right when the clock hit midnight and realized that mind control is his power. He smirked as he jumped from his bed right away and started to affect all his slumbering family member with his power, turning them into bunch of normies as he rewired their brain to never remember about magic whatsoever. His mom would be able to counter such move if only she woke up at that time and started to create protection from Jens magic for everyone in the family, yet she's too tired after preparing all the things needed to celebrate Jens birthday. After practically killing his family by making them normal, he simply walked back to bed, excited for the sun to shine quickly

The birthday surprise turned out to be quite nice and Jens enjoyed it very much, especially with his older siblings unable to ruin it with their powers anyway and just genuinely be happy for him. After all the hubbubs, Jens said goodbye to his family as he headed to the gym to start the execution of his plan

The gym is not necessarily crowded in the early morning, so Jens worked with whoever audience that is already available inside the gym. Without even speaking or anything, a simple eye contact is enough to freeze his target. He's slightly drained from making sure all his family member's mind altered, so he needed this extra step of eye contact for now until his whole power recharged. The first target, Erik quickly forced to stand up straight, his gasping breath instantly normalized as his whole body conditioned to be relaxed yet firm.

Jens then started his rewriting process, infiltrating Erik's mind and rearranging it as he wished. After around a minute, Jens controlled Erik to sit down and then just for the fun of it, start jacking his dick off while Jens continued his round of takeover.

Matthias witnessed the weird interaction and rough transition of Erik from being exasperated to then froze off before jacking his own dick in the middle of the gym, but he's directly in the eyesight of Jens so he also quickly froze, his slack-jawed gaping mouth forced to close by Jens as he doesn't want to get distracted while rewriting Matt's brain

The muscle freak is an owner of an "intelligence-led security company" or basically paramilitary troopers and Jens saw certain potential from him, so a meeting will be set later on the day by Matthias with all of his employees attending the meeting where Jens will do his specialty, hopefully recharged and ready to create further mess and expand his control by that time

Not only Matthias, his working out buddy and spotter, Anton, also frozen as soon as his eyes met Jans eyes.

The former Captain in Swedish Army succumbed all the state secrets within his mind as Jans sees fit while Jans also explored everything that exist within. Jens smirked upon seeing the loving memories of the captain's family, which he quickly erased as he then planted this idea that Anton is nothing but a cum slut for Matthias which Matthias exploited really well for the benefit of his company. Matthias is also the one that dragged Anton to work under Jens service, and it's not like he can say no when his master told him to. It's a rather twisted approach that he took, but Jens cannot help himself but laughing on the irony of it all as Anton used to be sleeping with Matthias ex-girlfriends and were the one causing Anton remaining single until now. Guess he bring karmic redsitribution right away for the douchebag Anton rather than waiting for universe to punish him much later

Nils Andreesen (L), Jakob Ericsson (R) and William Gustafsson (B) also fell victim to Jens mind control as they were in the gym already by the time Jens started his rewriting process with Erik. Jakob is the Vice-Mayor and Jens already proposed several regulation and procedure which Jakob will enforce after his gym session finished and the time to works started. A townhall is also requested by Jens to be held the following week, where he will demonstrate the power he has in an even-larger scale

Based on Nils memories, a guy is already inside the locker room as he came early to the gym. It's the gym owner's son, Leo, and with Leo being in the inner circle of the Prime Minister daughter as he went to the same uni as her and used to fuck her until last winter, taking him over becomes important. Jens rushed himself to the locker room and then quickly searched for Leo. Much to his luck, Leo haven't left the gym premise so he quickly shouted on top of his lung by calling Leo's name. Leo turned around and that was the start of his downfall as he just froze all in a sudden.

Wasting no time, Jens quickly built the basic narrative he built in to everyone that they are nothing but Jens loyal servant and will do anything for him and his satisfaction. And then, upon realizing that Leo is in a call, he let Leo returned to normal for a quick second, ended the call and proceed with the rewriting of Leo's mind.

"We are a very tight-knit bro ever since we were kids. I'm your closest friend and you share everything to me, your sadness, your anger, your pain, even your own free-will. You are nothing but a putty little bitch everytime there's only the two of us, and you are so eager to please me. Heck, you always love to sniff and lick my sweat after my workout right? In fact, that's why you are still here, because you are patiently waiting for me to come and give you your morning nutrient. So, in the count of three, you'll start licking me and worshipping my body until I tell you to stop, okay? One, two, three,"

Leo's dark brooding eyes quickly turned hungry and filled with lust as he's positioned on his knee while Jens sweaty body towered over him, showing him who's the boss in the situation and why Leo is nothing but a dutiful servant to fulfill all Jens desired. As the sweat dropped from Jens chin right to the confined erection beneath his black sweatpants, Leo then goes to town with his tongue as his hand started to slide down Jens pants while sniffing and licking Jens crotch intimately

This is just the beginning of Jens utopia, and he's nowhere near finish

Read Part 1 first

Please Do Not Repost My Content Anywhere

You were currently in the bathroom at the airport trying to use one of your make-up wipes to catch the tears that were continuously falling. 

Your flight had now been delayed for three days and you had been stuck at the airport ever since trying to get back home because the last thing that you were about to do was go crawling back to Jack after accusing you of cheating on him.

All of the money and time you spent trying to make his birthday perfect all for it to come crashing down around you.

Your phone had been dead since you lost your charger or left it at the hotel room which you had shared with Jack and you couldn't buy a new one since you used Apple Pay and had no cash on you until a nice stranger who worked at one of the many gift shops bought one for you. As soon as it had a little charge to it, you were going to call Blanca and Jessica since you were too scared to call your older sister Melissa. 

She was worse than Blanca at times and you knew she would have no hesitations to kill Jack without even asking for an explanation.

You just couldn’t put your finger on how everything could have gone so wrong so quickly. One moment you were talking and laughing with your boyfriend and the next moment he had packed your bags for you and cussed you out and told you to basically get out of his life.

The amount of hurt that you currently felt you couldn’t even put into words. 

Meanwhile, Blanca was getting antsy because she hadn’t heard from you and the two of you usually talked every single day. 

“Jessica, this is going on day three and we haven’t heard from her and I’m starting to think the absolute worst. I mean she’s with Jack so I know she’s safe, but still. She would at least check in with us from time to time to let us know she was alright.”

Jessica was currently scrolling through her phone as she looked at all of the unanswered text messages she sent to you while Blanca looked down at the thirteen unanswered calls from you and finally broke down and decided to call Ace and Jessica agreed. 

“Just call Ace at this point, he’s got to know something. But if something had happened, I would have thought that he would have said something by now.” Jessica responded while putting her phone down on the coffee table as Panchito jumped in her lap. 

“Hello?”

“Ace…. you have ten seconds to tell me where my best friend is and if she’s okay.” Blanca said while putting the phone on speaker so Jessica could hear the conversation too. 

“Wait… she’s not at home with you?!” Ace asked, suddenly starting to panic. 

“Why would she be?! Shouldn’t she be with her boyfriend?!?” Jessica exclaimed and now Blanca could feel her eyes watering because every possible scenario of you being hurt was going through her head. 

“Umm about that…”

“About WHAT?” Blanca responded knowing that Jack was somehow to blame.

“Long story short. Druski saw the two of us out together and we were planning the surprise party, but you already knew that. He took pictures, showed him to Jack and of course Jack and his trust issues assumed the absolute fucking worst and broke up with her. Like apparently he packed her bags and bought her plane ticket home without letting her explain anything. He basically thought she was cheating on him with me. I haven’t heard from her because I thought she was ignoring me! She should have been home by now! THAT WAS THREE DAYS AGO!”

“I am going to fucking kill him. How dare he hurt her like that when she was doing all of this shit for him!?”

“That’s exactly what I told him. Me and Jack haven’t talked since this whole thing happened and now… damn… I don’t want to tell him we haven’t heard from her but…”

“No, fucking tell him and then also tell him that I will cut his dick off and feed it to him for hurting my best friend. How the fuck are we even supposed to find her? Her phone is obviously dead because it keeps going to voicemail! Shit, shit, shit!”

“We’ll figure it out.”

“Just.. let me call her sister Melissa. Jack really shouldn’t be worried about me or Jessica once Melissa finds out what he did. He better go in the witness protection program right along with Druski.”

After Ace had hung up with Blanca all he did was rest his head in his hands because he had no idea where to start.

Today was an off day for Jack and him, Druski, and the rest of PG were just having a day out since Jack had been moping ever since you left. He had no one to blame but himself as well as Druski, but they wanted to drag him outside to hopefully get his mind off of it. Ace was the last one to make it to the sprinter van and it was awkward as he and Jack made eye contact. Jack quickly looked down and paid attention to his phone.

“What in the world happened between you two and why are you shooting daggers at each other? Well, Ace more so than Jack.” Neelam asked, looking at the awkward exchange.

When no one responded, she asked another question.

“And where in the world is Y/N? And why did she just abruptly leave? This whole time I thought she was just umm… getting certain things together and that’s why I hadn’t seen her, but Quiiso told me otherwise.”

The tension could have been cut with a knife until Ace finally spoke up, not wanting to wait any longer since Neelam was clearly waiting for an explanation. 

“Umm, Jack, Druski just to let you know Y/N never made it home and she’s now missing since no one has heard from her. So we can thank you two for that.”

“WHAT?!” Everyone in the van exclaimed, but Jack was the loudest. His calls to you were going straight to voicemail and his texts were going unanswered but he didn’t think anything of it because you were obviously pissed at him and had a right to be.

“JACK, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!” Neelam asked while looking over at him, but had instead turned his attention to Ace to get more of an explanation. 

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN MISSING?!” Jack said while looking at Ace in disbelief. 

Now his head was spinning and he felt his heart beating out of his chest and he was literally trying to do his best in order to keep it together. 

“Blanca and Jessica haven't heard from her in three days and the three of them talk every day, multiple times a day and that isn’t like her. Something had to happen and if she’s hurt, you best believe that me along with Jess, Blanca, and Melissa are going to kick your ass. All of this shit could have been avoided if you would have just come to us and asked us but no what did you do? Listen to the dumbass next to you and not get all the facts.”

“But you have to admit…”

“I’m not admitting shit because nothing happened.” Ace replied while eyeing Druski who simply held up his hands in defense.

“I got an idea to get her back though!” Druski said while smiling while Jack just rolled his eyes.

“Her favorite flowers and some chocolate! Or… what if you serenade her? Luv is Dro perhaps? Come on, she can’t say no to that. Hit her with them side strokes! Gets them every time. But I mean if we’re really going for it….” Druski added and everyone now followed suit with Jack and rolled their eyes and he was cut off by Urban.

“Did your dumbass really just say that? It’s going to take a fucking miracle for her to even get her to say two words to either of you.” Urban commented while looking at him confused. Urban had tried to call you too when he found out but once again didn’t think anything of it because he knew that you were upset at his best friend and probably didn’t want to talk to him either. 

“What in the world happened for the last damn time?! Someone fill me in!” Neelam said clearly annoyed.

“Druski took it upon himself to take pictures of me and Y/N and send them to Jack with the idea that she was cheating on him with me when all we were doing was planning his birthday party, but everyone here knew that. Obviously except for him because like I said before, I’m trying to get at Blanca, but now that she has no idea where her best friend is because of me, that probably won’t go anywhere.”

“Jack….. All she literally talks about is you and how excited she was for you to see everything that she did for you. Like you should have seen how her face lit up every time someone mentioned you and Druski…. I get that you were trying to be a good friend, but you should have gotten facts first. Y/N is a true sweetheart and she’s told me how she had gotten cheated on before too and the last thing that she would do is cheat on Jack especially with one of his best friends. Now we have two single unhappy people all because of a misunderstanding, but wait… that still doesn’t tell me where she is.”

“Jack cussed her out and kicked her off the tour. Packed her bags, handed her a plane ticket and told her to be gone before he got back from his show and now her phone is obviously dead because no one has talked to her and that was three days ago.” Ace replied, finally getting the entire story from Druski last night. 

All Neelam did was hang her head in disbelief.

“I honestly don’t think you know all that she was planning and everything she went through for you. She hasn’t even met your parents or grandparents in person yet, but still reached out to them to get them to come out here for you. This has to be the stupidest thing you’ve ever done and you deserve to be single.” Urban explained and all Jack did was run his hand through his curls clearly frustrated. 

Right before Blanca was going to call Melissa her phone went off indicating a facetime call from you and she immediately answered.

“OH MY GOD, DO NOT EVER FUCKING DO THAT AGAIN!” Blanca exclaimed as your face came into view and Jessica immediately ran to the phone to see that you were in fact, okay. 

“I promise, I won’t.” You quietly answered and Blanca knew what Ace had told her was true. You were at the airport and your boyfriend thought that you cheated on him.

“Okay um Ace filled me in so we don’t have to talk about that right now. But what we do need to talk about is how we’re going to get you back home. I can call your parents…”

“NO! Just….” You thought about how you told your parents all that you were doing for Jack and would ask way too many questions about why you had suddenly left him. 

“They can have the jet to you in no time! Your flight has been delayed for three days and I need to physically see you in front of me to know that you’re okay. I mean I know you aren’t, but like I said we’ll discuss it later. I’m calling Melissa and telling her we need the private jet to go and get you and do not fight me on this. I have to save my energy to fight Jack and Druski.”

Well, telling Melissa was probably the lesser of the two evils.

You were now on a flight headed home with your big sister Melissa after having to stay at the airport for another six hours and your head was currently in her lap as you continued to cry your eyes out.

“Are you going to tell me what he did or am I going to have to pull it out of you? I mean I could just ask Blanca and Jessica, but I want to hear it from you. You have barely said two words to me since I came to get you.”

After a few more sniffles, you finally said in a quiet voice,

“He accused me of cheating on him. I’m assuming he thought with Ace since that’s the only thing that really makes sense. But I have no idea how he jumped to that conclusion. All we were doing was planning his surprise party for him, but all of PG was behind it except Urban since I was going to do something for him too and fly out his younger sister. I tried to keep it from Urban too, but that kind of went out the window.”

“Oh.”

“Melissa, please do not do anything crazy. I know that you want to kill him.”

“No promises. He hurt my baby sister so his ass needs to deal with the consequences. How dare he do that and think that he’ll get away with it?”

“He packed my bags and handed me a plane ticket and basically cussed me out in not so many words.”

“His ass is in for it now. Don’t make me tell them to turn this plane around because I will. No one talks to you that way.”

“NO! I just want to go home and forget that this relationship ever happened. It’ll just be easier that way.”

“But you really like him.”

“Liked. Past tense. I don’t like men who accuse me of things without even asking me and giving me no explanation. That’s something that little boys do. I don’t want anything to do with him.”

“Well, what about the party, what’s happening with that?”

“Ace has the key to the house where it’s going to take place and will give it to the staff in the morning of his birthday so that everyone can get in. I’ll still throw it for him, but I won’t be anywhere in sight.”

“You’re better than me because his ass can fuck all the way off.”

“I just… I don’t want all my hard work to go to waste and even though he did what he did, he does deserve this because he does work so hard and I did want to do something nice for him, but best believe after this party is over, I’m blocking him.”

“Good girl, but before you do that, I need to have some choice words with him.”

“Hmm, you, Blanca, Jessica, Ace, and Panchito apparently.”

“But Panchito can’t bite Jack, he’ll be on house arrest again if he does.”

“Blanca might make an exception in this case.”

You had now been home for about a week and a half and Jack’s party would be taking place tomorrow since everything was now officially in place.

Blanca let Ace know that you were okay, but you hadn’t talked to him since everything happened either.

It was nothing against him at all, you were just still so extremely hurt by the entire thing.

Jessica had offered to make the two of you carne asada fries and you took this opportunity to unlock your phone and check your notifications. 

Jack had been blowing up your phone non-stop to the point where you had to specifically silence his notifications. All he said he wanted to do was to speak to you and apologize, but you weren’t having it. 

You would open the messages and not respond so Jack knew that you were reading them. Meanwhile, you had been in steady communication with Maggie to let her know all of the flight details and that they would have a private driver take them to the house once they landed on the airstrip. 

What you didn’t tell her was that you wouldn’t be in attendance. You were obviously good at hiding behind text messages, but if you were to see him in public, you knew that you would either want to immediately cuss him out or break down and cry or both. 

The last thing you wanted to do was cry in front of everyone, especially his parents since they hadn’t even met you in person before.

Ace promised to keep you updated about the party, but you honestly couldn’t care less. But at the same time, it would look weird if you weren’t at your “boyfriend’s” birthday party since you had basically planned the entire thing.

If you actually decided to go, you were definitely about to bring back up with you. 

Back up meaning Jessica, Blanca, and Melissa. 

You knew your heart and knew deep down that you were a good person and that your soulmate was going to make himself known when the time was right because obviously that person was not Jack as much as you wanted it to be. 

Scrolling and looking through all of the text messages that Jack sent you, you decided to send him one and you promised that this would be the last time that you ever did this. You didn’t deserve how he treated you and you damn sure weren’t about to go through that again. 

You- Have fun at your party and have a nice fucking life. Oh and happy birthday, I guess. 

And you then immediately blocked him. 

Jack woke up to seeing multiple text messages from different family and friends wishing him happy birthday, but the only person that he wanted to hear from was you and knew that was a long shot. He hadn’t been sleeping or eating properly since you left and had found out that you in fact did not cheat on him. It had gotten worse when Ace had told him that no one had heard from you.

All you’ve been doing is reading his text messages and not responding or ignoring his calls.

He definitely didn’t blame you with how you were acting towards him and knew that he deserved it. He just wanted to talk to you in person so that he could properly apologize to you. Doing it over a text message was not enough. He disrespected you to your face, so he felt that it was only right to apologize to you to your face.

He pulled out the necklace that you had gotten for him for what he assumed was one of his many birthday gifts with ‘KY’ on it. He noticed that you had left it on the dresser and opened it to see what it was. He didn’t even know if you realized that you had left it. But what were you going to do with it if you had taken it with you anyway?

He knew about the surprise party since it wasn’t really a surprise anymore since Ace had obviously told him after he had sent you home. The only thing that he wanted to do today was lay in bed and complain about missing his ex-girlfriend, but of course he couldn’t disappoint his friends and family that had come all this way to see him which he once again wasn’t supposed to know. He could finally let out a sigh of relief when Urban had told him that you finally responded to him and that you were okay. When he found out that no one had heard from you, he debated on leaving and going to your home state of New York to find you, but where would he even begin?

As much as he didn’t want to, he started to get ready since Ace had told him the time that they would be picked up from the hotel and taken to the house that was in Paris.

How fucking ironic.

You had told Jack that this was one of your favorite places in the world and couldn’t wait to be able to come here and experience it with him. It only made sense for her to have his party here. 

Now, you would never get a chance to, all because of him accusing you of cheating.

As they were pulling up to the house, Shloob’s eyes went wide looking at how big it was on the outside.

“Damn, Jack you truly are a dumbass. Look at this! Look at everything that she did for you. Sorry to call you a dumbass on your birthday, but…”

Jack didn’t even bother responding, he just stared at the text message that you had sent him a few minutes ago and attempted to send one back when he found out that you had officially blocked him.

He was actually surprised that it took you this long. 

“When your ass gets in here, you better act surprised and don’t let all her hard work go to waste.” Ace said while being the first one to hop out of the sprinter van and make his way inside. 

Jack and Urban were the last ones to make it inside and were greeted by everyone screaming happy birthday to the two of them. Deep down, Jack was hoping that you for some strange reason would still show up to the party in order for him to be able to apologize, but he wasn’t going to hold his breath.

If Melissa, Blanca, and Jessica knew, he didn’t stand a chance.

So, today he would attempt to enjoy his party and tomorrow, he was going to be on the first flight to New York and was praying that you would at least listen to what he had to say. 

He just had to get through your sister and best friends first, and he couldn’t forget about Blanca’s dog Panchito. 

Jack’s jaw was on the floor when he saw that everything in the house was Louisville themed and there was a small display that had all of the venues that Jack had performed at around Louisville with the KFC Yum Center being in the middle and being the biggest one, while on the other side was actual pictures that you had taken of Urban entitled ‘The one time the photographer let me steal his camera’ and in the middle was the banner that said Happy 25th Birthday Jack and Urban along with baby pictures of the both of them underneath it.

Ace and Neelam weren’t lying when they said that you had gone all out for him. 

Even though Urban had a hand in planning this party for Jack, he had no idea that you had been planning all of this for him too until his younger sister came from around the corner and tackled him in a bone crushing hug while Jack went to greet his parents as well as grandparents.

As he was hugging Maggie, she whispered in his ear,

“You have an amazing girlfriend and you better not do anything stupid. I like her, so where is she so I can finally meet her in person?”

Jack didn’t get a chance to answer as the lights dimmed and everyone’s attention was now on the large projector screen in the backyard and your face suddenly appeared. You had filmed this about a month ago and at the time couldn’t wait for Jack to see it, but now you wish that you would have deleted it. 

“I hope that everyone is having an amazing time since the birthday boys have finally arrived. I wanted to do something special for the both of you since I know how hard the two of you work and that deserves to be celebrated. So first off say thank you to Ace for helping me make all of this happen and Jack, I know we haven’t been dating for very long but I definitely once again thank Ace for introducing us. Since you’ve come into my life I’ve felt nothing but happiness and you have shown me how I deserve to be treated. I hope you see many more birthdays and I’m definitely blessed to be able to call you my boyfriend and how could I forget Urban? Sometimes the photographer deserves to be in front of the camera so thank you for letting me do our little photoshoot and thank you for sharing your best friend with me.”

Next was a slideshow that featured you, Jack, Urban, Neelam, Ace, 2fo, Shloob, Quiiso, Nemo, and they were all pictures from his current tour so far and ended with a picture of simply Jack and Urban when they were younger. 

Well, if he didn’t already feel shitty before, he felt it even more so now. 

Jack and Urban went around mingling with everyone from outside near the pool area and back inside near the mini Louisville display, but Urban could tell that he was distracted and almost felt bad for him. Almost.

“You’re looking for her aren’t you?” Urban whispered in his ear and Jack sighed before he simply nodded.

“Well, the night isn’t over so you never know. I… just… I hope she at least lets you apologize to her but….”

“I’ll be lucky if she even lets me do that. You didn’t see the look on her face when I basically told her to leave and… shit. I wish I could take it all back. If she has her bodyguards with her, I can forget it.”

“Wait! She has bodyguards?! Since when?!”

“Her sister and best friends and I might as well throw Panchito in there too. But at least he can’t bite me because he’ll be on house arrest again if he does.”

“But we’re in a different country so do those same rules apply?” Urban curiously asked.

“Ehh, probably not.”

Jack had gone over to talk to Bryson and was over there for a few minutes before Neelam tugged on his arm. You had sent her a text earlier in the day telling her that you were in fact in Paris and that you would be at the party. All she told you was that she would support whichever decision you made regarding Jack and it felt nice to hear her say that.

“Hmm?”

“Get Urban and go in the middle of the room, it’s time for the cake.”

Next thing Jack knew, he heard your voice singing happy birthday to him and Urban and carrying a Pokemon themed cake out to where he was. Everyone else had joined in singing with you, but Jack kept his eyes on you the entire time not believing that you were in fact standing in front of him. He looked at the outfit you were wearing and his mouth was hanging wide open. Neelam was recording the interaction as you had finally reached the middle with the two of them and waited for them to blow out the candles. 

Since the caterer that you were going to get had originally messed up the cake, it was too late to find someone else so you decided to make it yourself. It took you calling your grandmother who was vacationing in Hawaii who was not happy you had interrupted her surfing lessons, but she of course helped you anyway.

The perks of being the youngest grandchild.

And you had done it this morning when you had flown in from New York with Melissa, Jessica, and Blanca in tow.

Of course they were also there, but were standing to the side keeping a close eye on Jack as well as Druski.

Druski had made eye contact with Blanca and quickly looked away. He was going to make it his mission to hide from her for the entire night. 

Once the two of them blew out the candles, you caught Jack off guard when you reached up to kiss him and he eagerly kissed you back knowing that this was probably the last time that this would ever happen.

“Happy birthday to my favorite person in the entire universe.” You quietly said while not taking your eyes off of him and it tugged at his heart to hear you say that knowing you were only trying to keep up with the appearance of making sure everyone still thought the two of you were together.

But what Jack didn’t know is that you were being truthful in what you said. Yes, he had definitely hurt you, but up until a week and a half ago he definitely had been your favorite person in the entire universe. You just wanted to block out what happened and despite what he did wanted for him to enjoy his birthday. 

Jack made it up in his mind that he had to make it his mission to get you alone in order to properly apologize to you before the night was over. Because he knew that he might not get another opportunity. 

“Okay lovebirds! Break it up! Save it for later!”

The both of you laughed as you had then set the cake down Melissa had given each of them a knife in order to cut it.

You were a little nervous about giving her the task of handing them the knives, but she had promised you that she wasn’t going to stab Jack or Druski with them.

After they had cut the cake, different guests had whisked you away to talk to you including Jack’s family which you were actually dreading.

Not because you were nervous to meet them, but because after this, they probably weren’t going to see you anymore.

As you were talking to Maggie, Jack took this as an opportunity to come up behind you and slide his arm around your waist and kiss your cheek which you gladly accepted.

It was now or never despite his heart rate increasing and feeling as if it was about to burst out of his chest. 

“Jack, you better not let her go. I’m serious. I like this one.” Maggie said while eyeing him and he did his best to keep a playful look on his face despite knowing that he had already lost you and probably lost you for good.

“You don’t have to worry about that, but in the meantime all of you have been stealing my girlfriend all night and it’s my turn.”

“Fine, but bring her back once you’re done!”

Jack simply leaned down and whispered in your ear,

“Please let me properly apologize to you. Is there somewhere we can go where it will just be the two of us?”

You simply nodded your head.

“Come on and follow me.”

You looked behind you to make sure that no one had spotted the two of you and made your way upstairs to the bedroom that you usually occupied every time your family came to stay here.

You made sure to lock the door behind the two of you and then turned around to face Jack who had a nervous look on his face. He was wearing his glasses and you were doing your best to not fold right then and there.

“First off, thank you for doing this for me. I know it took a lot of time and effort and I’m definitely grateful because you didn’t have to.”

“You’re welcome.” You quietly said while trying to look everywhere but Jack’s eyes.

“I don’t think I can put into words how sorry I am for what I did. I was wrong to just go off what someone had said without even asking you about it. Deep down, I knew you wouldn’t cheat on me, especially with Ace. But, I admit that I got scared. That feeling of being cheated on is something that I never want to go through again and I figured if I pushed you away that there wasn’t a chance of that happening despite how much I want to be with you. I can understand if after tonight you want nothing to do with me, but I at least owe you this much and I’ll probably never forgive myself for the way I talked to you because you definitely didn’t deserve that. I just…. There honestly isn’t an excuse for it. And the fact that you were M.I.A. for three days because of me too and I…” 

“I appreciate the apology.”

“And thank you for still keeping the persona of us still being together when we were downstairs.”

“Of course, but I meant what I said.” At this point, there was no reason to lie. 

“Meant what?”

“That you were still my favorite person in the universe despite what you did and I feel so stupid for saying that. I cared about you so much and I still do! I flew from New York for you at 2 am so I could make your cake for you because the caterer had messed it up so it would be ready in time! And…” 

You couldn’t help but start to cry and Jack didn’t know if it was okay to step towards you or not, but he did anyway.

As much as you wanted to push him away, you didn’t.

“I don’t deserve that title, maybe I did two weeks ago, but not now.”

“As much as this hurts for me to say, despite how much I just want to be with you and forgive you and forget this entire thing ever happened, I honestly don’t know if I can.”

Now it was Jack’s turn for his eyes to begin to water, but he knew the moment that you agreed to talk to him that this would probably be the end result. 

“I understand.”

“I wish we could go back in time and change the past, but we can’t. I’m surprised that I’m actually this calm and didn’t know how I was going to react when I saw you. But, Jack, I am not her and I would have never hurt you that way. I know about your trust issues and all I honestly wanted to do is show you that love does exist and that you deserve to have it.”

“And I know that now.”

“We’re probably better off as friends.” You confessed without looking at him and you didn’t know if you were trying to convince him or yourself.

“I… please Y/N, we both know that’s not going to work. I understand why you feel as though you don’t want to give me another chance and I know I damn sure probably don’t deserve it, but if you give me one, I promise that nothing like that will ever happen again. I know this might not seem like the best time to do this, but I was hoping that you would come so I could give this to you...” Jack then pulled a jewelry box from his back pocket and your eyes went wide as he opened it. 

“It’s a promise ring and I was going to give it to you before everything happened. It’s only been three months, but the best three months that I could have ever asked for. If you give me another chance, I will spend the rest of our lives making this up to you.”

You were speechless.

I had a shitty AU idea that was basically like one of those shitty "the story was all in the MC's mind as a delusion!" Creepypasta/theory But actually make it... y'know a bit actually good and developed and not edgy crap mocking mental illness.

Basically Black Jack (he only calls himself that, everyone else calls him Kuroo) is a mental hospital patient who suffers from CPTSD and a bunch of other issues due to his accident and the death of his mother and abuse/abandonment from his father. The thing is he's still just as intelligent and talented as cannon, being basically the greatest surgeon ever who's aware of the corruption within the medical field. But nobody wants to hear him out cause he's all disfigured and creepy, and has a bunch of stigmatized illnesses and delusions. Everyone basically treats Kuroo like a helpless baby or a dangerous criminal.

Kiriko is a military vet turned hospice nurse who helps the sick and dying, Kuroo's paranoid delusion lead him to become convinced Kiriko is actually a suicide obsessed murder who kills his patients who also targets him. This leads Kuroo to attack and threaten Kiriko on multiple occasions, believing himself to be a hero stopping a dangerous killer but in reality he's just terrorizing some poor old man. It gets to the point where Kiriko has become afraid to leave the house and Kuroo isn't legally allowed near Kiriko. Both men feed into each other's paranoia and have a very unhealthy relationship.

Jotaro Honma is basically same as he is in cannon, surgeon who saved Kuroo's life as a boy and acted as a father/mentor. Honma was one of the few people who actually listened to Kuroo, treated him like a person and recognized his talents. He taught him all about surgery and medicine. Unfortunately a few months ago the doctor passed away due to natural causes, further causing Kuroo to spiral.

"Pinoko" is a doll gifted to Kuroo by Honma, Kuroo talks to her constantly and treats her like a real person, believing she was his adopted daughter/assistant. Kuroo gets very upset and offended when others tell him Pinoko is not real and mock him for believing she's alive and talking to him.

Kei Kisaragi- formerly known as Megumi before coming out as a transgender man- is Kuroo's ex girlfriend and a current caretaker of him. Though not exactly dating anymore and living far away, he visits Kuroo and volunteers at the mental hospital when in town, calling him almost everyday. Kei loves Kuroo deeply and is constantly afraid he'll be abused or hurt himself. Kei empathizes with Kuroo, being traumatized himself from past abuse and dysphoria. Kuroo seems to calm down significantly when around his old lover, and seems to still have a crush on him. But is unsure how to express it, and worries Kei couldn't possibly love a "monster" like him.

Nevada by Imogen Binnie

The 2013 novel Nevada by Imogen Binnie has acquired cult status among transfems. And it’s easy to see why. Here is a novel about trans women, written by a trans woman. Not a memoir, a proper fictional novel. Not a lot of those, especially not in 2013.

The main character is Maria Griffiths, a trans woman in her late 20s living a bohemian life in New York. The first half of the book is how she fucks up her life there, losing her job and girlfriend in short order. And then she basically steals her ex’s car and goes on a roadtrip to figure things out. And in Star City, Nevada, she meets James, a stoner working in a Wal-mart who she quickly identifies as a trans woman who doesn’t know she is a trans woman yet. And she actually seems to be right about that, but wrong about her ability to convince James to transition.

Maria is a depiction of a character who is “post-transition”, at least in the sense that she is on hrt and living as a woman. Of course, Binnie complicates the idea of “post-transition”, because both Maria and her trans woman friend Piranha both have their transitions curtailed by what treatments they can afford, by class. So they don’t have bottom surgery, or electrolysis or facial feminization surgery.

Maria is better off for having transitioned, in fact you get the sense that it’s the only thing that kept from completely falling apart, but it isn’t a fix for all of her problems. Like many trans people, including myself, she coped with her pre-transition life by dissociating from her feelings as a defense mechanism. Spacing out and going on autopilot, to cope with dysphoria from being forced to live as a boy. And for her it naturally became a habit, a pattern of behaviour that she is still trapped in. She drinks and takes drugs to dissociate herself further. Her dissociation causes to fuck up her relationship with her girlfriend Steph and leads her to be fired from her crappy bookstore job.

Maria is somewhat aware of her problems, but of course that is not enough to fix things either. And she has this bohemian/punk persona that also kind of romanticizes those flaws. We get a chapter from the perspective of Steph, that is very clear about Maria’s flaws about a person.

Not that Maria doesn’t have her positive qualities. She is not a cruel or evil person, just a flawed one. She is clever and funny, and her internal monologue is a delight. She has these actually quite insightful observations about being transfem and transmisogyny.

The other (possibly) transfem character is James, If Maria is a post-transition transfem mess, he is the pre-transition transfem mess. James is pre the trans realization that is the first step of transitioning. He is also dissociated from his feelings and his drug of choice to dull the emotions is pot. The novel uses he/him to reflect the character’s understanding of himself.

James is also a self-described autogynephile. His repression takes the form of a fetish and he jacks off to forced-fem porn. James might seem to confirm stereotypes, of trans women transitioning because of a fetish or having a sexually fetishistic view of womanhood. In fact James considers himself to be just a fetishist. He has (internalized) transmisogyny, and believes he can’t or shouldn’t transition.

Yet the portrayal is a lot more nuanced than that. Maria delivers a thorough transfeminist criticism of the agp/hsts model and points out rarely is a fetish “just a fetish”. Instead it points to deeper issues in one’s psyche, often things that are taboo, especially ones you internalize as a taboo. If someone’s fetish is getting forced to become a woman, it might point to that person wanting to become a woman on a deeper level, and have internalized transmisogyny about those feelings and a fear of actually transitioning.

Of course, I should add that the widespread cultural sexualization of femininity and women also plays a role. And if you actually transition in the end, it’s probably not just a sexual fetish. You don’t upend your entire life at great personal effort and cost, just for some fetish.

So James might appear to uphold transmisogynistic stereotypes, but the novel actually criticizes that transmisogyny in intelligent and nuanced ways.

And that’s part of why I think makes Nevada such an important book. It doesn’t present any idealized or sanitized view of transfem lives. Instead we get messy, flawed characters. And it’s because they are flawed that they are well-written characters. It means their stories can be moving and relatable in ways that idealized characters can not be.

I have struggled with dissociation due to dysphoria and thinking I was perverted for being a trans woman. And the novel doesn’t excuse what for example dissociating does to other people, you get a vivid portrait of how Maria and James’s dissociation hurt their romantic relationships. Yet it helps seeing portrayals of trans women characters struggling with the same problems, and seeing it explained in terms of coping mechanisms for having to grow up transfem in a transmisogynistic society. It tells you, you are not alone. Maria and James definitely have to work on their issues but they are so valid.

Nevada just ends, without any kind of dramatic resolution or epiphany, and that very much works. It’s a depiction of these character’s lives and their problems, and there are no easy solutions. Both Maria and James are outright told what their problem is. Yet they can’t use this epiphany to suddenly overcome their ingrained ways of being, no matter how dysfunctional.

And the depiction of Maria’s and James’s lives is so vivid and well-written that I don’t mind there not being any major dramatic conflict or resolution. It’s nice to read a depiction of being a trans woman, from her perspective, written by an actual trans woman. There is an inside understanding that is almost impossible for TME authors to fake.

I enjoy Binnie’s prose too. It’s in a casual, slangy and modern tone, which works for this realistic novel, as it is the how the characters think and speak. It helps the writing is genuinely witty, I laughed sometimes, despite the novel dealing with some heavy themes.

So I totally understand why Nevada became such a cult novel among transfems. During the years it was out of print, the site haveyoureadnevada.club spread e-book copies of the novel. Torrey Peters blurbs the 2022 re-issue I own, and I can see the influence on Detransiton, Baby, another novel about the messy lives of flawed trans women characters in New York.

And I have joined the cult at this point, I loved reading Nevada. It’s a difficult read at times, but fun and insightful all the same.

1. kasey and mackie don’t get back together until late summer

this and her family and the hughes get together for a week or two in the summer and every time luke is around her he basically ignores her and jack and quinn see this as well as brady and matthew but jack is definitely the one to say something to luke about it and maybe kasey overhears it

kasey is quiet the whole summer. she goes on lots of long walks, doesn’t really look happy. and luke just won’t talk to her despite his friend’s pleading questions about his ex girlfriend.

and jack hates it, cornering luke one day, “be nice to her.”

“she broke up with mackie.”

“so what? he’s your friend but she’s your friend too. shes going through so much more than either of us know.”

[this-daydream-is-dangerous-13]

There are so many songs that I find hard listening to cause they were written about YB, and knowing what we know now and how Taylor put him on a pedestal and made him out to be this perfect boyfriend when it wasn't true just absolutely disgusts me., plus the underlying layer of anxiety and her fear of him leaving, but no other song can quite literally trigger me like Peace does. His integrity made her feel small, feeling like she was wasting his honor for talking shit with her friends. Meanwhile, he was probably shit talking about her behind her back to his friends based on the Anti-Hero Remix. No wonder why all her friends unfollowed him so quickly. They were probably relieved she finally left him. Writing a song like You're Losing Me and STILL staying for over a year trying to fix things and his ungrateful ass couldn't do anything, not even the bare minimum. Like, you have THE TAYLOR SWIFT begging you to make things work and is willing to stay with you through all your bullshit and put up with your carelessness when she could so easily find someone new and have men lining up in a quee just to be with her, and you TAKE HER FOR GRANTED?????? Choose YET AGAIN (at the last minute cause you weren't even the first choice) your 5 min worth of screen time background role in a movie that probably no one's going to see over supporting your girlfriend ??? (Jack had Covid and couldn't attend, but he still watched through a grainy screen live on insta or tiktok and I'm sure Joe did not do that) When she's done nothing but supporting him and prioritizing him and following him around from country to country only to have him leave her behind to pack things up, cook for his cast mates, allow them to record music using her own equipment, him throw birthday surprise parties for his female co-star when he can't bother make time for her birthday, send his mom or brother to her events cause he can't show up, but is perfectly capable of showing up to events where he's got nothing going on for himself and take his own friends over his girlfriend who probably got him in the room in the first place, the list goes on and oooooooon. He was also fine with staying with her rent free and going on luxury vacations on private jets, get paid royalties from her music (Taylor definitely overexaggerated his contributions and was very generous with him only to have her craft compared and diminished to baking surdough bread in quarantine), but couldn't put up with her fame that was providing all this. (He strikes me as one of those people that secretly want the fame and attention on them but are going to complain and bitch about how that's not what they want once they get it. The thing is, the attention was on Taylor, and he couldn't be a side character or merely her boyfriend cause of his insecurities... well now he's Taylor Swift's ex first and foremost much to his inconvenience)

I can imagine him being jealous and insecure of how well the All Too Well short film was embraced by the industry he's been in for so long, only to have Taylor come in and be praised right and left for her talent. He's been basically "Hollywood's next big thing" each year ever since 2017 and each year being unsuccessful at it. It's embarrassing. (Even Harry, who's not the best actor out there and has no prior training or much knowledge in that field, has more talent, charisma and appeal in his pinky finger when it comes to acting than Joe does.)

I'm so here for YB lashings out on X. He's not a saint as some think. I can only imagine how he might've gaslighted and manipulated Taylor for her to always put the blame on herself in all her songs...

^^^^

Bring on TS11, where even if we don’t get more detail YB’s shitty behaviour, we WILL get more reflections on Blondie the Phoenix has risen.

Thanks for the detailed ask.

[feathers-in-the-night]

Presented basically with no context but i just love this little moment from the new chapter I'm writing. It's giving "Dick is currently coming to terms with the fact that he's still in love with his ex girlfriend and Morgan is EXTREMELY clueless to the very same fact."

(the only context im offering is that Dick is wearing a snow-camo suit, which is why it mentions that he's a 'white and blue mass')

Small pebbles started falling right above Morgan, and she looked up to realize a large section of the ceiling was caving in. A giant crystal, probably weighing thousands of pounds, was loosening and about to fall on her head.

Smaller minerals were already raining in a shower around her, making any escape hazardous.

“Sparrow, get out of there!” she heard Nightwing shout, but Morgan had other plans. She widened her stance and took a deep breath, holding her arms up above her, steely gaze on the crystal.

She could feel her telekinesis like tendrils snaking around the crystal as it began its descent, and she knew she had it.

Dick’s voice was more panicked this time. “Morgan!”

All air was knocked out of her lungs as a white and blue mass barreled into her, knocking her out of the way. Dick landed on top of her, his arms still around her torso, and whatever breath she had left was squeezed out of her. Her grip on the crystal slipped and it hit the icy floor with a mighty crash, shattering like glass. Shards rained over them, and Dick pulled her closer, shielding her from the onslaught. She felt a sharp and stinging pain in the hand she’d instinctively wrapped around his back, as a piece of the large crystal found its mark.  

After the deafening cacophony came silence, interrupted only by a stray few rocks and shards falling.

Dick’s arms were like vices around her body, but at her slightest push, he sprang to life. Crouching in front of her, he seized her face with his glowed hands, his masked eyes searching her features frantically.

“Oh my god, are you okay?” his tone was less calm and collected than he usually carried it when on a mission. There was a tinge of something raw, the timbre of his voice shaking with fear. “I thought I lost you.”

Morgan blinked at him, taken aback by the outpouring of emotion from a man usually so collected. She could hear her heart pounding in her ears, unsure why it was suddenly racing. Then, she pushed his hands away and got onto her knees.

“No thanks to you,” Sparrow said with annoyance. “I had it handled – if anything, you made it worse by making me lose my focus.”  

“Had it-?” he repeated with disbelief. “You were about to be flattened!”

She scoffed and got on her feet, Nightwing jumping up next to her like a jack-in-the-box. “I would’ve stopped it.”

He glared at her. “How about, next time someone saves your life, you thank them,” he deadpanned.

“You didn’t save my life, ‘cus I wasn’t in any actual danger!” she protested, frustrated that he wasn’t understanding her. Why couldn’t he have faith? She was trembling from the way he was regarding her – she could sense his gaze, even though his eyes were hidden behind the light blue mask. He was breathing heavily with barely concealed agitation.

[multi-lefaiye]

!!!!! multi!!! im glad youre back!! ive missed seeing your icon on my dash! ive been working so much on my silly little stories with my silly little guys, idk if ive told you about them but its my time traveling story, im finally beefing my characters and getting to know them better! ive been using a prompt list for june and forcing myself to write something for this story everyday and its been going really well!! (i can tell you more if youd like) i keep making everything really sad and tragic tho..... dunno whats up with that lmao. is there anything youve been working on recently??

RUNS AT YOU hiiiii!! :D yeah yeah!!! i never like. reallly left but i'm not gonna pretend i haven't been a bit MIA lmao......... have not had the energy to engage with people that much lately. BUT today is a new day and i am beating the sleeby boy allegations.

YEAH YOU'VE TOLD ME A LITTLE!!! oh that's so fucking cool OMG i'm so excited you're having so much fun with them and developing them more! i love your little guys okay they mean SO MUCH to me!!! and OHHH YES YES HELLO??? okay, if you don't mind, can you PLEASE send some of that my way??? or if you want please feel free to tag me in it if you post it! because i love your stuff so so much and i want to go off the shits.

and regardless, you're always welcome to come into my inbox and talk to me about what you're working on. at all times. i encourage you to do it!!!!! also that's so real. something about giving fictional people problems........ intoxicating.

but yes yes!!! so like i said i haven't had much energy to work on stuff lately, but i do have some things i've been bouncing around! a big thing is a tftgs fanfic character study i'm tentatively titling "in case you don't live forever," centered around jack and his relationship with his ex-girlfriend sabine.

sabine is such a fascinating character to me for loads of reasons, many of them being the fact that we learn basically nothing about her. she is the epitome of a character who haunts the narrative, at least in my opinion, and this started as like... me exploring what i think she was like. what kind of person she was. it then evolved into an exploration of what might've happened if sabine had *lived* and gotten to be happy.

so it's an au where she and jack run away together and start a new life in a new state. it's super emotional and tender and sweet and writing it is really cathartic and healing for me. i'm also using it as an opportunity to explore concepts that are tried and true multi-lefaiye classics: mental health, trauma, queerness, and how they all blend together at times. most of all, though, it's about healing.

i'm including an excerpt under the cut!

It’s just after two in the morning on a Saturday night in mid-2007, and for the last time, Sabine Lemoyne stands alone in her childhood bedroom.

She’s had this room since she was eight, and the decorations haven’t changed much in the following decade. The walls are the same soft, muted purple she adored growing up, plastered with posters for old movies and bands she hasn’t listened to in years, and it nicely complements the pink shag carpet beneath her feet. Her immaculate bedspread is bright and cheery, covered in colorful illustrations of grinning flowers and vibrant greenery. Her favorite childhood stuffed animal, a little pink cat named Eevie, sits on the desk across from her bed, watching her with vacant glass eyes.

Her room has always brought her some modicum of comfort, a sanctuary of peace and solitude in a tumultuous world, but now, standing in the mausoleum of times long since passed, it feels stifling. She can’t breathe in here.

Sabine has to leave. And that’s exactly what she intends to do.

The duffel bag on her bed has been packed for days now, and she’s only just finished packing the backpack leaning against it. Inside the duffel bag, she’s packed clothes, books, and an extra pair of shoes; the backpack, meanwhile, holds her toiletries, six hundred dollars in cash, and two laminated folders. Inside one folder are two bus tickets, set for departure in one hour.

[that-fandom-writer]

yeah i did it again over 700 on Wopez

Ok so Wesley Evers and Angela Lopez

I absolutely love them they are amazing together. They grew up in very, very different households. He was rich, basically got everything he ever wanted that would turn some people in to entitled shit heads but not him, he has a heart for the little guy. He could have easily become a huge hot shot lawyer in a big firm but he refused. He helps anyone he can whenever he can.

Angela is the only girl of a single mother with 4 brothers, then she chose a male dominated job. She has always had to be a tough person. She has always had tough skin. She is a strong independent woman who loves fiercely

Now the two of them together is magic, legit magic. He has always had everything just so, things planned, clean cut and all that jazz and then she came into his life strong and messy, but he loves every minute of it. They fight hard but they love harder.  She has never really allowed herself to vulnerable but he came into her life, and lit a spark of love in her that she had never known possible before.

When he was stabbed, and he was getting PTSD afterwards, she did everything she could to help him through it. He probably got nightmares and she was there for him. The love that he showed her it was ok to open up and feel, and then she took care of him

The fact that they both had the same kind of worries and fears over the proposal they both said “what if the ring falls out of the hot air balloon” they were both worried. Then the fact that he just surprised her with the proposal before they went on their trip. The speech he gave her, the fact that he went over so much he cares, and then when she said “you’ll never know if you don’t ask” because she HAD to add in a smart ass comment because that is just what they have to have in their dynamic

They are friends and lovers and that makes for a great combination. The fact that even early on she was scared to loose him, when the fight over the messy house. The fact that when she took the pregnancy test he had it in his pocket all day, and then she was scared, but he calmed her down, “you’re gonna look beautiful in your dress, and ill cry and you’ll make fun of me for the rest of our lives” “no I wont” he just looked at her and then “ok yes I will”

The wedding planning. The fact that he was on board and team of having Tim help with everything, and not a single hint of jealously from him, a lot of guys would be jealous that their girlfriend has a male best friend, but not Wesley, he was also all into letting Tim deal with a lot of the stuff

When she was taken. He literally sacrificed his career to save her. He went to a criminal to get help to get her back, yes he also enlisted the help of her friends, who also all risked their lives to go save her. The show didn’t really cover her ptsd, but we all know it was there, we all know that she had to have had nightmares and he was there for her just like she had taken care of him. I know that Wesley liked Jackson just fine as well, but I love that he had no issue with her naming their son Jackson

When it came out that he had cheated on an ex and he told her that he wouldn’t ever cheat on her and she said “yeah because you’re afraid of me “  “because I love you”  they just love each other so very much  

On the episode of Feds when he got stuck in the Das office, the way she was with the feds outside “im not just some scared wife im a cop who knows this building like the back of my hand”

And then when the team breached, she went in, she wasn’t on duty, she didn’t care she just loves her husband enough to not care about what others wanted

the day Jack got his shots and she made fun of him for crying and buying Jack all the toys lol

also I just LOVE the dynamic they have with James and Nyla because its like both couples have a similar dynamic, tough independent woman with the man who is just the right amount of sunshine to melt them down a bit

[valkyriesexual]

i got tagged in that thing about ‘post 8 shows to get to know me better’ which like... i feel like none of this makes any sense and i am dating myself here. but nevertheless.

1. buffy the vampire slayer (1997 - 2003). listen. it’s iconic. i have complicated feelings about it now, given everything we know about what the actresses went through on set with joss whedon, but at the time, it was formative. faith in the leather pants eating twizzlers in that apartment that the mayor put her up in is one of my earliest “oh i’m kinda gay” moments. belonging pt 2 still makes me cry. willow and tara. i’ll never be over it.

2. queer as folk (1999 - 2005) obviously, in the late 90s / early 2000s i was searching for queer rep anywhere i could find it.  we had just gotten direct tv, i think so my dad could watch the sopranos. little did he know, i was watching 30 year old brian fucking 18 year old justin taylor on the lowest tv volume possible after sneaking into the living room at 2 in the morning after everyone else had gone to bed. is it good representation? is it fucked up that the relationship that anchored the show was between a grown man and a teenager? i wasn’t thinking about it like that when i watched it.  i was just absolutely in awe. 

3. the l word (2004 - 2009) listen. if you watched the l word and wanted to bang shane, you were probably straight.  if you watched the l word and wanted to get railed by jennifer beals, you were just a mortal. if you watched the l word and wanted to be jenny schecter before she got that little dog... you were me. i may have been the only one in the world? i don’t know what that says about me.

4. charmed (og) (1998 - 2006) i watched charmed reruns literally every single day after school.  i adored charmed.  beautiful powerful women living in san francisco with the most bonkers late-90s / early 2000s fashion fighting demons? i was all in.  i remember my dad telling me that he thought holly marie combs was “plain looking” and i’m still offended.  Its been 25 years.

5. south of nowhere (2005 - 2008) i feel like i was the only person in the world who watched this show. it was on nickelodeon (???). it had 3 seasons. gabrielle christian moves from ohio to los angeles and falls in love with mandy musgrave. it disappeared and tbqh i can barely believe it aired when and where it did.

6. crazy ex girlfriend (2015 - 2019) a show about older ppl for an older me. i obviously relate a lot to a california attorney with a complicated relationship with her body and mental health struggles.  so. i stopped watching before the last season so i could continue to live in my fantasy world where rebecca was with nathaniel.  i know i’m in the minority, but i thought they were perfect together. the chemistry was off the charts. he matched her intellect. i loved it.

7. orange is the new black (2013 - 2020). i mean, it basically started off the rise of netflix’s original content, right? i mean, now, looking at how netflix treats their original content creators, it’s bad. but still.  and i think about danielle brooks saying "so I'm sitting there, bbq sauce on my tiddies" all the time. and i’ll never be over what they did to poussey. and how they handled it the next season by painting the killer corrections official as sympathetic. i didn’t watch anything after that season.

8. skins uk (2007-2013). this is another one that i have complicated feelings about, given what the now-adult actors have said about their experience filming the show as teens. the star power this show brought us though. dev patel. daniel kaluuya. jack o’connell. kaya scodelario. it was really something. i remember downloading it and watching it on my first laptop sitting on my fire escape and smoking as a college student and thinking that i was just so deep and grown up. how embarassing lmfao fml

Violence, please. 1, 20, 24.

the character everyone gets wrong

Everyone who's ever called Matt Murdock basically just Marvel's version of Batman owes me five bucks to seek help regaining my sanity. Aside from the obvious difference in their privilege, there's a big difference between their worldviews that I think can largely be traced to the fact that Jack Murdock is so very not the Waynes, and the Netflix show loses a lot of what makes DD so nuanced because it sanitizes his dad so much. Jack Murdock was a flawed father and not exactly a good person, but he still didn't deserve to die the way he did, and I think that trauma in combination with Matt's Catholicism allows him an actually pretty forgiving and complicated view of people. Even his wearing a devil costume is like an admission that what he does isn't fully justified and he's not free of sin etc, he is part of the problem, but the world isn't perfect and he doesn't know how not to be what he is, his father's son. Matt can be a massive asshole but I feel like his compassion is a more defining part of his character than with Batman. The irony of it is a feature in the way he's written, not a bug. You're never gonna see Bruce Wayne finding his salvation at the lowest point of his life in reconciling with his drug addict ex-girlfriend who sold the secret of his identity to his worst enemy, totally forgiving her because they're both suffering, and then holding her while she goes through withdrawal. And the DD comics have for a long time been very into examining how Matt's genuinely drawn to violence and it's morally dubious, while Gotham being an absolute living-nightmare place is always ultimately going to justify the existence of Batman and it's just a whole different vibe. I mean omg I could talk about him all day, put a tiny bit of effort into looking deeper at my favorite comics character please. 😫

part of canon you found tedious or boring

Let's just say I'm struggling with finally watching all of SW Rebels rn. Like really struggling...

topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

Any discussion of female characters in ASoIaF is cursed and it's always been that way. Some of you need to let someone else hold those books, they're too heavy for you.

Now I’m actually talking about the Santa Claus again! I guess I can speak about my ocs and the au I have for them

These are from like 2018 when I was in a Santa Claus phase that December(I had a crush on Bernard like most but did also like Jack because he was cool in my mind)

———-

Soo you have Celeste who was a baker elf I think she was stoic but a softie with a big heart

Buff lady because yes we need more buff ladies in stories please

Did not like Curtis at all, thought he was annoying and wanted to replace him

Her girlfriend Babs is a maker elf (is that what we call them idk she makes toys)

She’s sunshine, rosy cheeks and all

she invents some of the coolest toys and loves tinkering with some of the machinery to make it more efficient for the elves

Then you have the twins Scrapp and Connie

Their Identical twins which mostly causes problems sometimes (especially for Bernard and Jack)

Both are extremely chaotic and that’s how they end up bonding with Jack in the au I’m writing (called the family frost au)

Scrapp is a maker elf and his younger sis Connie is tinsel/designer elf

They are a very small family of elves babs and Celeste being like mother hens and the twins the chaotic children!!

These four together form a group called the elf protection society (or eps for short) which although is an unofficial elf service thing, they one day hope to make it an official group of elves to help protect the North Pole

Basically their motto is “no matter is too small or elf come to us and we can help!”

So their basically a hotline for elves

And Jack is their first assigned person for them to help (this is after tsc3) and he is still our kinda frosty Jack but more soft and more open with himself and others

Their job is to make sure Jack tries to atone for his mistakes but obviously there are many bumps in the road

They each kinda bond with jack, especially the twins because jack sees a lot of himself in the twins (chaotic, extremely fun and probably theatre nerds)

Then some santa stuff happens maybe carol is having her second baby (alluding to the Santa clauses)

The family comes over to the north pole again this time along with an extra pair

That’s Scott’s very distant cousin (I’m not sure about that yet maybe she gets invited cause she’s close with Scott’s ex or something) Holly Davis who visits the North Pole with her fiancé Toby and they catch jacks eye (I’m going for a polycule here because yes we need more of that!)

That’s how it starts. And the family frost au is basically Jack becoming more open to being nice and all that shit but finding a family along with making amends with his own!
