Fake Love Triangle (LN & FC) 18+

lando norris x reader, franco colapinto x reader

for my friend @a-beaverhausen

"Come on, baby, give me one more," Lando cooed at you as he drilled into you from behind. Your face was smashed into the pillow, your body slumping as your third orgasm came over you. He chased his own

high, spilling into you before pulling out to lay next to you.

"I needed that," he sighed, pulling you into his side. You rested your head on his chest, agreeing.

"Me too. This stuff with Logan is stressing me out."

You were in your third year as a strategist with Williams, and this season had been rough—though so had last year and the year before that. You and Lando had been hooking up for the past season, using each other as a stress reliever, which worked for both of you. He wasn’t interested in a relationship, wanting to keep his focus on the championship. He was amazing in bed and a good friend, but you just weren’t interested in him romantically and never really had been. There was an understanding that your private activities didn’t mean anything, and either of you could end it whenever needed.

"I’ve heard you guys are replacing him," Lando mentioned, combing his fingers through your hair.

"Yeah, it’s being announced in the next couple of days. We’re bringing in a younger driver from our academy."

"Hmm, that'll be interesting."

You lifted your head to give him a look. He knew what this would mean for you and looked at you with sympathy. Looking over at your phone, you groaned at the time and moved off the bed, putting your clothes back on.

"I need to actually get a good night’s sleep before tomorrow, and your snoring prevents that, so I’ll see you around," you teased, grabbing your things. Lando pouted, but you paid him no mind.

"Good luck, and text me if you need me," he said playfully, and you shot him the finger before leaving his apartment.

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

Landing in the UK the next morning, you were exhausted, still not getting good sleep even without Lando's snores. There was an all-team meeting at 10, followed by a strategy session. You were a zombie during the meeting, barely paying attention as they announced Franco as the new driver.

Walking toward the conference room, the new driver fell into step next to you.

"Hola, hermosa," he said, smirking at you. "I'm Franco."

"I know who you are," you replied, laughing as you took in the Argentinian man.

"Just wanted to make sure. You didn’t seem like you were paying much attention back there," he teased, and you rolled your eyes.

"How would you even have noticed? There were so many people in there."

"I always notice the most beautiful woman in a room," he flirted, and your cheeks tinted pink.

"Are you really flirting with me right now?" you questioned.

"Only if you like it," he said with a wink, holding the door open for you.

This was going to be an interesting working relationship.

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

You quickly grew accustomed to Franco's flirting, which became part of your working routine, though you didn’t pay it much attention, considering he was like that with everyone.

Standing with his PR manager, who looked like she was about to pull her hair out, Franco strolled out of the interview room, his eyes lighting up as he saw you.

"Can you stop flirting with the reporters for five minutes, please?" she complained, and he shrugged innocently. She turned to you, "I don’t know how you put up with it."

"He does it with everyone, so I don’t think much of it," you said, and Franco frowned.

"Yeah, but it’s different with you, cariño," he said with a pout, and you gave him a quizzical look.

"How so?"

"Because I actually mean it with you," he said, and his PR manager pushed him away.

"No relationships with staff! Get away!" she shouted, and he winked at you before retreating to his driver’s room. You looked at her amused, contemplating his words. You had been finding yourself giddy around him and missed him quite a bit during the long break before Austin.

The two of you texted regularly, and you had grown to really like him, which Lando teased you relentlessly for.

Speaking of Lando, you were standing in the hotel lobby in Brazil when you felt two arms circling your waist.

"I need your mouth badly," he whispered in your ear, and you leaned back into him.

"I only have 10 minutes before I need to meet the team for dinner," you replied, and he pulled you toward the elevator.

"I can work with that," he replied, smiling as you rolled your eyes. "I have to take advantage of this before you finally give in to Franco."

"It’s not like that," you mumbled, waiting for the doors to open.

"Yeah, yeah. In the three years I've known you, I haven’t seen you smitten with someone like this before," he teased.

"So, what should I do? Go from master to his protégé?" you joked, and Lando giggled, pulling you into his room. His lips met yours in a soft kiss.

"I don’t think there’s anyone else I’d be happier about breaking us up than him," he confessed. "Now, knees, baby, please."

Grabbing a pillow from his bed, you knelt down, pulling out his already hard cock, the tip glistening angrily.

"What’s got you so worked up?" you asked sultrily, running the tip of your tongue around the head.

Lando took a sharp breath before replying, "I just need to settle my mind down before tomorrow."

Hollowing your cheeks, you took him entirely into your mouth, running your tongue around him lazily. His hand grabbed a fistful of your hair as he pushed you to take him all in. Whimpering as he hit the back of your throat, the vibrations caused him to gasp.

Looking up at him with watery eyes, he seemed to get even harder as he stared down at you.

"Fuck, you look so pretty like this," he rasped, and you pulled off, kissing down the side of him. Your hand took over for your mouth as you moved to kiss his balls, sucking gently.

"Let me take over, please," he begged, and you smirked before nodding. His cock found its way back into your mouth, and his grip tightened, starting to face-fuck you. Tears now leaked from your eyes as you gagged against him. His pace became sloppy, and it wasn’t long before you tasted him finishing in your mouth. You pulled off, swirling your tongue around the tip one last time, causing him to wince.

"Little minx," he muttered, and you smirked, getting up. You fixed your hair in the bathroom and bid Lando goodbye, wishing him luck for tomorrow.

Arriving at the team dinner, you slid into a booth next to Franco, who stiffened. You gave him a curious look, but he wouldn’t meet your gaze; that continued for the entire night. No flirty comments, nothing—just silence, and you were beyond confused.

Finally fed up with it once you both made it back to the hotel, you turned to him.

"Is something wrong?" you questioned, and he looked at you nervously, as if struggling with what to say.

"I just think we should keep our relationship strictly professional," he said firmly, and you were floored.

"You’re the one that flirts with me," you exclaimed, and he sighed, looking around as if for an escape. "What’s wrong with you?"

"Look, I really look up to Lando and respect him as a driver and a friend," he started, and you began to realize what was going on. "He’s a lucky guy."

"Franco—," you started, but he bolted, slipping into the elevator just as the doors closed. Unbelievable. Lando’s words had convinced you to give this a chance, but instead, he ended up being a cock-block.

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

Lando was amused the next day during the drivers' parade, watching Franco fidget nervously beside him. Deciding to put the boy out of his misery, he turned to him.

"Can I talk to you about something?" Lando asked, and Franco’s eyes widened as he started to babble.

"I’m so sorry, mate, I didn’t know she was your girl, or I never would have talked to her like that. Just a silly crush, I promise—I’ve never touched her," he rambled, stopping when he noticed Lando giggling, clearly amused.

"She’s not my girlfriend," Lando told the poor rookie. "She’s one of my best friends, and yes, we occasionally 'help each other out,' but it’s nothing more than that."

"Oh," Franco said, relieved. He smiled at Lando nervously. "So, she doesn’t like you like that?"

Lando shook his head, grinning, "Nah, she’s into someone else. Someone new to the grid."

Franco blushed, understanding Lando's words, and smiled to himself.

That was the last time he smiled that morning, as he crashed into the barrier in the early laps of the GP.

With two drivers out, you took off your headphones, sighing as you moved back into the garage to wait for the car’s return. Franco made it back first, and your heart broke as his tear-filled eyes met yours and he hesitated nearby. After last night’s conversation, you weren’t sure what to do, but when his eyes stayed on yours, you took the risk and wrapped your arms around him.

He buried his head into your shoulder, and you rubbed his back as he cried gently. His red-rimmed eyes met yours as he stepped back, and you felt your own eyes watering.

"Can I see you later?" he asked softly, and you nodded, promising to text him your room number.

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

You had just put on your pajamas after taking a long, hot shower when you heard a knock at your door. Franco stood on the other side, dressed in a casual T-shirt and sweats.

"Hey," you greeted him softly, opening the door wider for him to come in. He stepped in and grabbed you, but instead of a hug, you felt his lips on yours as he softly gripped your jaw, holding you in place.

It was a lazy kiss but exploratory, as though he were trying to learn every part of your mouth. Breathing hard, you rested your forehead against his as he smiled gently at you.

"Can you stop fucking Lando now?" he asked, and you giggled, pulling him into another kiss.

Moving to the bed, you slid under the covers, pulling them back for Franco to join you. He pulled off his shirt first, and you shamelessly checked him out, much to his amusement.

"Like what you see, hermosa?" he teased, and you met his gaze, smirking.

"As long as it’s only for me," you said, letting a little bit of vulnerability show. He smiled at you, climbing into bed.

"Only for you."

Snuggled into Franco’s side, you watched TV together.

"Feeling better after today?" you asked softly.

"Yeah," he murmured, "Just a little scary. Not as scary as Lando asking to talk to me though."

"How'd you even know about me and him?" You asked curiously, no one knew how far your friendship went.

"I saw you last night before dinner," he admitted. "My heart shattered into a million pieces."

"You are so dramatic," you laughed. Your hand was resting on his abs, gently tracing the skin there as you talked.

"We're going to have an issue if you keep doing that, mi amor," Franco said breathlessly, and you smirked, trailing your fingers closer to his waistband.

"Y/n," he breathed out as your hand dipped underneath his pants. You palmed him over his boxers and he whimpered before pulling you on his lap. Meeting his lips in a deep kiss you ground into him, both groaning out into each other. He threw his head back against the pillow and you took the opportunity to latch your mouth to his neck, sucking harshly.

Franco pushed his boxers down and you shimmied out of your shorts before sliding back and forth on his length. Moving his hands to your hips he stopped you and lifted you up a little, allowing you to sink back down on him.

You gasped as he stretched you out, throwing your head back. Franco was in heaven staring up at you and was doing everything in his power to not make this end early. You had started to move but his fingers dug into your hips.

"Just give me a second, okay?" He rasped and you smirked down at him before fighting his grip to grind onto him. You shrieked as he flipped you over, never leaving the inside of you.

"Think you're funny, huh," he said as he moved more quickly. Groaning out, you wrapped your legs around his waist as he rammed into you over and over.

His head dropped to your shoulder, and he bit into your skin, causing you to cry out and dig your nails harder into his back. One of his hands came up to your breast and his thumb rolled over your nipple and you felt yourself starting to get overstimulated, a tell tale sign that you were close.

"Don't stop Franco," you gasped out, and he brought his lips back to yours, swallowing your cries as your orgasm took over. He followed soon after, collapsing next to you as you both came down from your highs.

Finally catching your breath you felt his arms scoop you up, carrying you into the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" You asked dazed and he smiled down at you.

"Have to take care of my girl," he said and you sighed against him.

It was later when you were snuggled up against Franco, watching a movie when your phone went off. You rolled your eyes smiling as you saw the text.

LN: so no more head??? ;)

[sehodreams]

ever since i read ur drabble abt riize buying reader in a market...I HAVEN'T STOPPED THINKING ABOUT DARK!WONBIN AND HIS PET 😫😫😫 driving me crazy fr!!! can i req for a wonbin punishing pet!reader when she acts out/tries to escape or some wonbin and pet!reader headcanons? either one wld be amazing 😍😍 thank u sm!!

TW and tags: p in v, no condom, dubcon/noncon, slapping, piss kink, pillow humping, name calling, chocking, squirting, dark!owner!Wonbin.

Hahaha here are some headcanons, hope you like them!

Wonbin loves when you humiliate yourself, I can see him giving you a pillow and ordering you to hump it until you cum, watching you tearing up of how good you feel and how ashamed you are is one of his favorite things.

He bought the cage after the third time you tried to escape and now everytime you act up he just has to look at it for you to stop doing whatever you're doing and beg for him to forgive you.

He likes to slap you, if you're getting drunk on his cock he loves to see how you clench around him and stop whining about him stopping after he leaves red marks over your cheek, staying silent and receiving everything like a good girl instead.

The first time he put a collar on you was when you tried to escape for the third (and last) time, and he was so angry that he used more force than what he intended and choked you with it until your eyes rolled back and you almost passed out. He took a like for it after that, seeing how you immediately start to drip over him every time his hand grabs the back of your pretty collar or when he takes it off and replaces it with his hand instead drives him insane.

If you act up he'll make you strip down and walk on your own into the cage, leaving you over the cold surface until he feels like it's been enough punishment.

He loves to eat your pretty cunt, he feeds you with really good stuff, all organic and a portion of pineapple every day just to make you open your legs and drink your juices, tongue lapping onto your clit and pussy dripping down your baby pink bedsheets for hours.

He doesn't like fucking you in his bed, he can fuck you in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bathroom and even in his garden if he feels like it, but you'll never cum over his bed with him.

You have your own room that he carefully choose how to decorate, pink ribbons and hearts all around, a big wardrove and the prettiest and softest bedsheets you've ever seen. Also, there's a big mirror in front of your bed because he likes to make you watch yourself when he plays with your pussy or presses the vibrator to your clit, he likes to make you watch yourself squirt too.

He calls you his good girl/angel when you've been good and dirty slut/stupid whore when you make him angry.

He always cums inside, the first time he did it you begged him to pull out and he enjoyed your crying face so much he didn't tell you he had ordered for you to be injected when you were unconscious until you were sobbing and punching his chest telling him how much you hated him, making him laugh at how pathetic you looked.

Another humiliation headcanon is that he likes when he takes your clothes off for you to take a shower and doesn't let you wash yourself until, standing, you pee in front of him while maintaining eye contact.

If you don't finish your food he makes you eat his cum. He simply sees your plate with remaining food, pulls out his cock and makes you suck it until he cums inside your throat and orders you to eat it, "show me your tongue", he'd say to check you didn't leave a single drop inside to spit.

Afterwards || MGK scenario

¬Colson meets a fan backstage. Pairing->f!reader x colson baker Word count-> 2.0k cw. fluff, some deep convo, fan service, mentions of suicide, swearing.

The noise was unreal. You still couldn't belive you finally made it to kells' concert. It had been an odissey to get enough money to afford the plane and concert tickets, at some points you even wondered if it was worth it. However being here made you have no doubt--It was absolutely worth it.

"Thank you beautiful people for coming today," he practically yelled into the mic, his bright pink hair dripping drops of sweat."I'm afraid this will be the last song of the night."

The crowd sobbed loudly, but the sad atmosphere was quickly replaced with the festival of cords that was the beginning of WWIII. To you it felt like Colson was flying around, his instense energy being contagious to every single fan that was singing along the extravagant lyrics. Everyone was jumping and laughing like one big, jolly being.

Eventually the song was over, and everyone was ready to go back home, but Kells was thinking otherwise.

"Before y'all go back home, the crew and I have one more thing." you looked around just to see excited faces."We've decided to gift a V.I.P meet n' greet behind the scenes to three random people;"

He stepped aside and signaled to the big screens around him, which started showing pink explosions and sparkling silver and black dashes. Then, a series of numbers started to appear—it was ticket numbers.

Your heart was pounding fast, and you could feel the adrenaline pouring through your entire self. You knew it was beyond highly unlikely your number would appear on that screen, yet you couldn’t help but hope…

The first couple of numbers had already been announced, meaning there was only one left. One opportunity to meet Colson left. You knew it wasn’t gonna be you, but even being aware of it didn’t prepare you for the disappointment of realizing the third and final ticket number belonged to the person right next to you. The screen showed the number 118, while your number was 117.

You scowled silently. What a drag. At least i got to enjoy myself for a few hours was all you could say to yourself to make you feel better. You looked to your right, expecting to see the lady excited out of her mind, but she looked quite neutral. Thinking it was odd, you continued gathering your stuff to go back home.

“Excuse me.” You felt a slight pat on your shoulder along with the sound of a voice getting lost in the background noise. You turned around. “I can’t really attend the backstage thingie, I promised the sitter I’d be back home early. Would you like to go instead?”

To say you couldn’t believe your ears would be an understatement. “Sorry?” You said in shock. The lady looking back at you seemed to be in her late 30s, short brown hair and kind eyes. She giggled.

“I realize it’s weird, but I really can’t stay any longer. If you can’t accept it there’s no problem, I’ll just ask someone else.”

But before she finished the sentence you interrupted with frantic nodding. “I’ll take it! It was just so unexpected! Are you really sure?”

“I’m really sure I can’t afford a different sitter right now,” she smiled honestly. “So yea.”

She offered you her ticket and you took it, hesitant. And there it was, the winning ticket—or one of them anyway—in your hands. You felt on top of the world.

“You have no idea how much this means to me, thank you so much.” You said while smiling as well, and she just brushed it off.

“Never meet your idols is something I’ve always firmly believed anyways. Have a good time!” After saying that she quickly left.

It took you a while to get it together. The whole situation felt crazy to say the least. You just knew your friends were gonna be so jealous (in a nice way) and eager to hear the whole thing. They simply were not gonna believe this!

You made your way to the backstage entrance, where a bodyguard and some other staff members were to make sure everything went smoothly. The other two people in front of you, who you assumed were the other winners, seemed to be really excited as well.

One of the staff members explained that each of us would have approximately ten minutes with Colson, in the order the winners were announced. They also gave you some merch, which you naturally loved. You immediately put on a little rubber band around your wrist that came in the carefully organized package.

After some time, it was finally your turn. You were so excited the waiting felt like a blink. The bodyguard walked you through a hallway with a bunch of doors on either side, until finally you reached one that had a piece of paper sticked to it. “MACHINE GUN KELLY”

Your heart immediately skipped a bit, you couldn’t believe you were actually going to meet MGK. Machine Gun Kelly. Colson Freaking Baker. You inhaled some air hoping it would calm you down—of course it didn’t—and the bodyguard opened the door.

There he was. A smoky blunt on one hand and his phone on the other. He wasn’t really sweaty anymore, and his hair was a mess yet his face looked so calm. His see-through shirt revealed his contoured torso full of tattoos. You knew he was tall but seeing him in person for the very first time... he seemed taller than anyone could ever be. Just the arch of his nose and piercing eyes made you feel like oxygen wasn’t so necessary anymore-

“You don’t have to stand all the way there,” his raspy voice took you out of the trance in a heartbeat, which made you a little shy due to your awkward demeanor. “C’mere”

Once again hesitantly you walked a little closer to him, who was no longer leaning against the wall nor unaware of your presence. Colson was standing up—god he got even taller-- and looking at you in a curious manner. “What’s your name?”

You whispered the answer, unable to look into his eyes for longer periods of time than twenty seconds each. He giggled, amused.

“You’re not very talkative, are you?” Now it was your turn to giggle. For some reason his unpreoccupied remark eased you into the moment. “Sorry,” you sighed “college didn’t teach me anything on how to talk to someone like you.”

He walked closer to you and sat in a nearby chair. “Woah, someone like me? And here I thought we're getting along.”

You laughed out loud again and he smiled in return and inhaled the blunt resting between his fingers. Now you were starting to feel actually comfortable.

“I didn’t mean it like that!” You hugged yourself while walking a little closer as well. “I meant someone so famous and admirable. We’re just very different.”

He appeared to think about it for a second and then signaled to a chair close to his with his almost fully smoked blunt, indicating you should sit down.

“I don’t think we’re that different, you and I.” He stated firmly, looking right into your eyes. You could feel your ears burning a bit, but naturally decided to just ignore it.

“We are very, very different…” you began right after you sat on the chair but stopped mid-sentence because you weren’t sure about how to adress him, which he somehow seemed to notice.

“Call me whatever, I literally don’t care.” Usually that sentence would’ve sounded harsh due to its very nature, but coming out of his mouth it didn’t make you feel any of those things. He meant it, he didn’t seem to mind at all.

“Is Colson alright?” He nodded while inhaling the last puff out of his blunt. "ye's fine."

You could feel once again the air filling up with awkwardness, but you weren't gonna let it. It's not every day you get to have a one-on-one conversation with THE Machine Gun Kelly.

"Tell me something about you."You spat before you could think twice about it. He frowned, unsure of what you meant."Tell me something you'd like me to know about you. Something I shouldn't know, or something you've never said to anyone. Tell me something about you." You stared right into his cerulean gaze."Anything."

He laughed outloud, strong peals of laughter filling the room. You wondered how come this was better than all the songs he performed at the concert--the sound of his laugh."What's so funny?"

"You were so shy like a second ago and now you're asking shit like that." He pointed, still slightly smiling. "Why do you want to know?"

"Because I do." You quickly replied, simply. "It's not every day a girl gets to be face to face with the one and only MGK."

Colson's smile became a mere smirk. You could tell he was thinking what could he possibly tell you.

"I make music for myself" he spat suddenly ", not for the fans. For me. The fact that they---you like it is just a plus. It's what helps me sleep at nights."

When you asked him to give you something you certainly weren’t expecting something half as deep as that.

"I guess we never really think you celebrities have demons as bad as that... not for real, anyway. Thanks for sharing that with me, you obviously didn't have to."

"Well, there's not much of a point. Not like we'll be meeting again." As he said this, the realization came down to you. You were not meeting again. You felt your heart irrationally sink.

"Still I appreciate i-" his raspy voice interrupted you before she could finish the sentence.

"Your turn."

"Sorry?"

"Your turn. Tell me some spicy shit about you, something not many people know."

Your mind went blank. Something about you no one knows? You were a rather private person so there were a bunch of things people didn't know, but which to pick? He shared a deep one so it was only fair and right for you to do the same.

"I love when it rains at night." His square-ish smile welcomed the statement.

"Dude, how is that deep?" You breathed in as you took long blinking.

"I was going to kill myself. It was like midnight or something, I had the pills ready and I was lying on my bedroom floor. There's a big skylight on the ceiling, you know? I was about to take them when suddenly it started raining." He wasn't really smiling anymore."And that made me smile. I like night time, and I like it when it rains, so together it's like... I don't know. I love it. And I realized if i did it, i was not going to be able to see the nightsky while it's raining, hear the drops of rain against the buildings and the ground. Nor would I smile again.”

"Now that is deep." He walked towards a metalic table and poured two glasses of what seemed to be gin. He then walked toward you and offered you one."I guess we’re not so different after all… Cheers to that."

You took it while smiling, mumbling "cheers to that, indeed" as your glasses clinked.

"Why did you tell me that?" He asked after taking a few sips. You shrugged and took another sip, looking up into his blue irises and feeling yourself getting lost in them.

"You said so yourself, it's not like we'll ever meet again. Might as well do some trauma dumping." You both laughed at the joke---self-deprecating humor is something you could instantly say you had in common.

"I like you, y/n. We might actually have to meet again." Your heart skipped a bit as he said that. Had you heard right? You somehow managed to keep your cool.

"Why? You just said we were never meeting again." You sighed. "I hope it's not pitty because of what I just told you."

"It ain't. You just peaked my interest. No one'd managed to do that for a while." He stared right into your eyes as he said that. Made you shiver.

"So we meet and what?" You asked, your heart running inside your chest.

"And we have a drink, what the fuck else?"

"Isn't there some rule that forbids you from doing shit like that, anyway?"You asked, genuinely curious.

"Ain't rules meant to be broken?" He answered and smirked before walking to the table once again and refilling his glass. He looked at you and softly swung the bottle in your direction, silently offering, but you shook your nead no since you hadn't finished the previous serving. "So what do you say? Tomorrow midnight at your favorite club?"

Ringing Up The Lights

Advent Calendar Day 21! (prompts by @raven-cincaide-words) Today’s prompts: Christmas Decorating | New Relationship | Caring Act Fandom: Ted Lasso - Pairing: RoyJamie & TedTrent 1.7k[Ao3]

Was a little embarrassing wanit?

Jamie might have just hired someone to hang his Christmas lights – he was Jamie Tartt, he couldn’t just go crawling around on ladders. He could fall and break his legs! His very valuable legs! But Phoebe had been very excited to help him decorate, saying Roy never let her put too much Christmas stuff in his house.

“I will not have that performative Christian garbage steal focus from my menorah.” 

And, yeah, that was fair play.

But Jamie’s house was fair play, and he was happy to let Phoebe go crazy with the generic garland and tinsel he’d ordered from the shops.

And if she was decorating inside, he had to decorate outside. And he had no idea how to do that. He’d never had a dad to teach him.

So he’d called Ted.

“So you see, that’s why we got the light clips, Jamie! Back in the day we needed to staple these babies to the roofs.”

Jamie pursed his lips. “But wouldn’t that put a bunch of holes in your roof?”

“Yes it would, Paul Rudd! But if you were smart, you’d only nick a couple shingles. Easier to replace if things went south.”

Jamie nodded, mentally jotting that down.

Ted had been dead helpful. Helped him and Phoebe plan what they wanted their lights to look like. Helped Jamie measure everything so they could get enough lights. Told Jamie about the different kinds of lights he could get. Like dangly ones! Or lights that could change colors! Jamie got real excited when he thought about the different styles. It was like playing dress-up with his house.

They’d chosen base pink with rainbow focal points and white accents. It was gonna look fucking sick, Jamie couldn’t wait to be able to do it himself next year.

But having Ted here was actually pretty fun. Maybe he could ask Ted to come over even without helping him with the lights.

“Well that’s that ledge done!” Ted said, from the top of the ladder. Jamie held it steady. “You wanna try to do the next one, Jamie? You think you got it?”

“Yeah.” Jamie said, nodding up at Ted. “Yeah, I can do it. I’m gonna be so good at this decoratio’ shit.”

Ted laughed. “Well I’ll bet, Joan Jett! Let me climb down and we can move the ladder onto the next one.”

Jamie nodded again, moving a bit to the side so Ted could dismount the ladder.

When Jamie got to the top himself on the next ledge over, he got a bit nervous. He didn’t super love heights.

“There you go, Jamie! Just hook your arm around the ladder and you can use two hands. You just gotta get the first two clips and then you can get on the roof and clip them from the top.”

Jamie took a deep breath, working with the clips. His eyes started to blur with how hard he was concentrating on them.

“So, you wanna tell me what you and Roy are doing for the holidays?” Ted prompted. “It’s real nice of you to let little miss Phoebe take over your house like this.”

Jamie laughed. “I had to talk her into the pink, actually. She’s been on a green kick. Getting into lizards.”

Ted laughed back. “That explains why she’s making inside look like Jurassic Park. So much garland it’s like an extremely evergreen jungle.”

Jamie hummed, clipping the lights on the same place he’d seen Ted start on the other side.

“Roy and I are doing Christmas with my parents at my house,” Jamie told him. Because we’ve got the match on boxing day. But Hanukkah is actually the whole week between Christmas and New Year’s this year! So we’re doing eight horny nights.”

Ted chuckled, and Jamie looked down to see him shaking his head. “The natural successor to Sexy Christmas.”

Jamie hummed, biting his cheek to contain a grin. “Jewish people are so wise. All their celebratin’ is in the nighttime. We don’t even have to miss training or nothing.”

“And thank heavens. Just don’t be too sore to play.”

“That’s a little personal, Coach. innit?”

Ted helped his hands, immediately putting them back to steady the ladder when Jamie’s eyes went wide with panic.

Jamie breathed, looking back at the roof to clip the second light. Then he threw the rest of the string on the roof and climbed on after it.

“Ooh, this is mad. I hate this. Why am I doing this meself? My sexy little body’s too valuable to die.”

“You’re not gonna die, Jamie, you’re doing great.”

Jamie breathed again, refusing to stand up. He crawled along the roof like the lizards Phoebe loved so much, grabbing the lights and reaching toward the edge to clip the next one.

“What about you and Trent?” Jamie asked, trying not to think about how high up he was. “What’s the story there?”

Ted hesitated, making a noncommittal sound. Jamie rolled his eyes.

Roy was inside with Phoebe helping her decorate and making lunch for all of them. He was sweet like that. He and Jamie had a good thing going.

Trent Crimm was also inside. He’d come with Ted. For what reason, Jamie couldn’t even fathom. He wasn’t good in the kitchen. He wasn’t tall enough to help Phoebe reach the really high places. He could probably lift her up to reach but that was about it.

Jamie thought if anything Trent would be out here heckling them, just spending time with Ted and watching him with the lovesick eyes he’d been watching him with for years now.

So something was up and Jamie wasn’t above fishing.

Well maybe he was now physically above fishing because he was so so high up. But Jamie was trying not to think about that.

“Come on,” Jamie tried again. “Did I interrupt a date asking you to come here? Sorry if I did. You could have told me no.”

“No, I wouldn’t do that, Jamie,” Ted said, automatically. “It’s really no trouble. And Trent was happy to come along.”

“So it was a date?”

“Uh…”

Jamie looked down at him. His mustache twitched in indecision. 

Was he unsure if it was a date or was he unsure if he should tell Jamie it was a date?

Either way… “Tell me he’s at least told you he’s in love with you.”

Ted choked, looking down. Jamie clipped the next light.

He actually clipped the next three lights, scuttling across the roof on his belly, before Ted answered. “Yeah, uh. Yeah he did.”

“About fucking time,” Jamie said, emphatically. “Did he tell you how long he’s been in love with you?”

Ted cleared his throat. “Yeah. Yes. Yeah he did.”

“Cool,” Jamie said grinning. “Hope you reacted better than Roy did. I told Roy I’d been in love with him since I was a lad and his brain about exploded.”

Ted choked on a surprised laugh. “Yeah, ha, yeah that sounds about right.”

“Not sure why that was a surprise, if I’m honest,” Jamie said, face scrunched in thought as he remembered. “He knew I was obsessed with him. Knew he was my favorite player. Saw the poster in my room. Of course I was in love with him!”

“Well, ah, Jamie, Roy probably thought you loved the idea of him,” Ted said, haltingly. “It’s different to like someone you don’t really know. And then you know them you might be disappointed.”

“Well, that’s a load of bollocks,” Jamie said, easily. He was getting close to the last of his lights. “Yeah, I had a crush on Roy Kent the player. Would wank over his poster as a teenager or whatever, but that illusion shattered when I met him, didn’t it? He was a right prick to me. So then I got to see the real him and love him that way, fucking obviously. And he fell in love with me back because I’m sexy and amazing at football and I’m gonna be twice the legend he ever was. So of course we’re in love and shit.”

Jamie clipped the last light and looked down to see the stricken look on Ted’s face.

And something in Jamie’s head went thunk and he got it.

“Oh, Coach, is that what happened to you? Did you think Trent fell for your yeeha bullshit and he’s not gonna like the messy coach underneath? Because, like, he was there for all of it, yeah? He reported your panic attacks and everything. And he’s a Diamond Dog so he’s been in on all your weird little thoughts and feelings. And like you’re all fit in a weird coach way. And not like Roy’s fit and a coach but different. So like he’s definitely in love with you for you. And he’s Trent Crimm, he’s got the sexy reporter thing going and he called you on your bullshit immediately which I know you liked and he’s still got all that earnest enthusiasm you have so of course you’re gonna fall in love with him back.” Jamie shrugged – not an easy feat when he was still belly down on a roof twenty feet above Ted’s head. “‘S not that complicated.”

Ted looked up at Jamie like Jamie had been speaking Mandarin – like Ted wasn’t quite getting it – but Jamie had to get off the roof now. He could let Ted figure shit out when he was safely on the ground.

“Ted, can you hold off on an aneurysm until I’m down the ladder please? Or maybe get Roy?”

Ted just nodded, stepping away from the ladder and running into the house.

Jamie sighed, shuffling back to the ladder as he waited for Roy to come out.

Roy lumbered outside, looking around before his eyes travelled up the ladder to find Jamie.

Jamie waved.

“Oi!” Roy said, immediately grabbing the ladder. “Come back down here, you muppet, you’re too valuable to fall off the roof and die!”

“That’s what I said!” Jamie called. “Please just hold that still, I’m coming down.”

Roy grunted. “Wanna tell me why Ted and Trent are making out in your kitchen?”

Jamie laughed. “I think I’m a love psychic.”

“You’re a bellend,” Roy replied easily. “But I’m happy for them. Trent was getting pathetic.”

Jamie reached the ground, turning to grin at Roy, still standing very close. “Not like us.”

Roy rolled his eyes but leaned down to kiss him. “No, not like us.”

wikipedia articles sometimes have the best pull quotes

this one’s on lolo ferrari

She had 22 enlargements, which is a Guinness World Record.[9] The Guinness Book of Records (2003) indicates each of her breasts weighed 2.8 kilograms (6.2 lb) and contained three litres of saline.

She wore a specially engineered brassiere. Her brassiere measurements have been given by various sources as 58F,[10] 54G,[11] although these measurements appear false, as breasts of similar size have a bra size of around 36T or 36MMM. The breast implants themselves were reputed to be designed by an engineer who was involved with the design of the Boeing 747.[5]

In interviews, she said about her surgeries, "All this stuff has been because I can't stand life. But it hasn't changed anything" and "I was frightened and I was ashamed; I wanted to change my face, my body, to transform myself. I wanted to die, really."

and these from a guardian article

"For my mouth," she said in 1996, "we removed my Cupid's bow, tucked the mucous membranes up to my nose, and filled my lips with collagen. There's no particularly odd feeling or anything, but I have to put lipsalve on all the time. I adore being operated on. I feel wonderful in clinics. I love the feeling of a general anaesthetic - falling into this black hole and knowing I'm being altered as I sleep."

The breasts went first to 41in, then to 46in. They were desensitised and the skin was stretched nearly to bursting point. Ferrari lived in constant fear, as she mimed her songs and took off her clothes in club after club around Europe, that some madman would jump up on the stage and try to puncture them.

Beyond 46in, it became increasingly hard to find a plastic surgeon willing to take on the job. A couple of years ago, Vigne described the operation that made her a monstrous 54G. "I calculated the volume, the diameter, I drew up the plans and I took them to a guy I know who designs fuselage moulds for the aeronautics industry," he said.

"The designer made the moulds, and I gave them to a prosthetics maker who produced the empty silicone implants. It took a long, long time to find a surgeon willing to perform the operation. He removed the old implants and replaced them with the new. Each one was filled with two litres of serum. A bit later we increased it to three."

Ferrari insisted she was happy with the changes that were made to her body. "Having a big bust comforts me," she told yet another French interviewer. "It makes me more sure of myself. I'm like a transvestite - I've created a femininity that's completely artificial. But I'd like to have even bigger breasts. I can't because there are medical problems - you can't stretch the skin any more."

It frightened her, she said, to think of herself as skin, bone and blood. She wore a ring on every finger and dozens of bracelets and bangles; she painted her long fingernails pink. Her skin was the one thing she couldn't change, so she covered it with jewellery and makeup. If she didn't, she would have anxiety attacks, feeling, she said, that she was suddenly back with her old face.

"Could use the company." (@vastayan--vigilante)

The camp was sleepy, peaceful almost, save for the residual hanging tension in the air. After the first day of being cooped up in Ekko’s room, Jinx’s presence increased around the base. She’d filled her hours with fixing broken hoverboards, talking with Zee, relaying messages to Eve, coordinating a supply run. The usual stuff. 

Everyone treated her as normal…well, the Firelight version of ‘normal’, anyway. Their actions and manner were the same. She’d saved their collective asses, after all! No, that wasn’t it. They weren’t walking around looking indebted to her, far from it. There was just the faintest prickle of unease rippling amongst them.

Sure, whatever. Maybe it was the dark bags around her eyes. Or maybe it was how pallid and sickly her complexion had been the last few days. The darkened veins that echoed the shimmer’s path was probably an uncomfortable sight for some of their ex-addicts, but they’d seen it all before. Same with her eyes, still caught somewhere between blue and pink. Old news. Same Jinx. No need to worry. 

It wasn’t hard to spot Scar, settled a comfortable distance from just about everyone else. Jinx noted the soft glow of amber nestled between the vastayan’s fingers as she closed the distance. The coloured lanterns overhead bathed the dim chasm with warm light, catching unnaturally in her eyes as she drifted past them to sit beside Scar. 

“Me too.” Jinx murmured, watching the firelight bugs swaying in drunken pinpricks of green around the tree. 

After a hair-raising return to the land of the living, Ekko’s condition had stabilised. The sitting still and waiting part had been easy when his life was hanging in the balance. She hadn’t the space to think or focus on anything else. But now he was able to make clumsy conversation and Zee was happy enough with his healing, life was making a tenuous shift back towards normal. 

The closed off safety of Ekko’s room was more stifling now that he was stable. Supporting Ekko didn’t really work from the confines of a room, anyway, and if he was going to stand any chance at getting undisturbed rest (and be incentivised to continue doing so), she had to make sure things were okay outside. Weirdly enough, that also meant making sure the other people were okay. 

The rivers of smoke pouring upward from Scar’s hand were a comfort. From his shoulder Jinx closed her eyes for a moment, letting it transport her somewhere else. Musty old papers. Old leather. Cigars. She took a slow breath through her nose, holding it for a moment in her chest before exhaling in a sigh. The stillness of the evening allowed the scent of the tobacco to hang in the air, a pocket of refuge. 

Half of Silco’s men smoked or drank when they weren’t actively using shimmer. Replacing one vice with another was a practice as old as time itself. It wasn’t hard to tell that the stress of everything; the job, almost losing Ekko, and the shimmer stunt were weighing on Scar’s mind. 

Normally at this time Scar would be inside with Zee and Ahri. But indulging in a vice wasn’t the kind of thing you wanted to do with an audience. Jinx could understand that. He’d chosen to take some distance. Big stoic aloof guys loved that tactic. Even now when he was struggling, Scar’s coping mechanism took him away from the people that wanted to help him- the people he was fighting for. Hey, she wasn’t gonna judge. Wasn’t that half of the whole Firelight schtick? Everyone had baggage. Everyone screwed up. Why else would they all be part of the same club?

“Are ya in the doghouse, or trying not to be?” She probed, kicking out both legs to rest their weight in the heel of her boots.

[slashingdisneypasta]

Slashing! I just woke up and I have miraculously remembered the dream I had; and I must share with you! It's kinda sad, but also feel-good too? Like in a 'it's us versus the world, and I'm happy that you're the one with me' way.

Alright, so you have that headcannon that Greasy lived on the streets for a while, right? Well, in my dream, this was during that time. At least from what I can tell. Y/N (I say Y/N, but I genuinely don't remember who it was. I don't think it was me, I can't remember if it was you. It could have even been Shiny or one of the other weasels for all I know. So I'm going with self insert) and Greasy are sitting together, in an alley, taking shelter from the rain. I can't remember if they had cover, but I remember that they used a cardboard box as like an arm rest/table between them or something.

Anyways, these two are chatting. About what, I can't remember. But I remember that there was some dry laughter (the kind that you hear and you just know that they're not really happy, they're just trying to find some humor in this messed up situation they're in), before they started talking about deep stuff. Considering the setting, my guess is that they were opening up with each other and/or talking about the lessons and philosophy they've learned in life because of their situation. Which, at least in Greasy's case, it'd probably be something like 'kill or be killed'? Or some other saying that means that in order to survive, you have to use others.

The odd thing about this dream was that I distinctly remember Greasy smoking in the dream too. Not as bad as Wheezy, but I remember so vividly him pulling out a pack, taking one (just one. Wheezy, take notes) cig out, and lighting it up. So I guess my brain thinks younger Greasy smoked XD but I also remember him drinking from a beer bottle at the same time? Not with the smoke, I mean like I remember the same exact scene the dream camera focused on Greasy pulling out the cigarettes, but he instead takes a swig from the bottle, if that makes sense? So idk, maybe my brain realized this wasn't Wheezy, and replaced the cigarettes with alcohol in the middle of the dream XD

But yeah, that was my dream. Greasy and Y/N taking shelter in an alley while talking about life. Idk if this is purely platonic or there was a romance, but either way, I hope you get a kick out if reading this ^^

That sounds like a kinda nice dream actually!! Even during that time ):): (Also by the way I am SHOOK that you took in my background headcanons so deeply that they ended up I your SUBCONSCIOUS!??? WHAT? AHHHHHHHHHH in a good way) Like, 'it's us versus the world, and I'm happy that you're the one with me'- ?? That's soooo sweet 💚💚💚💚💚 Good stuff good stuff good stuff!!

And 'maybe my brain realised this wasn't Wheezy' made me laugh XDD I'm imagining the little men in your brain like this:

Captain Brain: Okay! We need a dream! What are those little creatures she likes?? Lieutenant Memory: The Toon Patrol, sir?? They're weasels. Captain Brain: YES! Those! Okay, chuck one o' those in. The uh- pink one?? Ehh nah not today. How about the green one? Yeah!, put him. The Officer at the Controls: Yessir, you got it. Captain Brain: OH! Make give him a cigerette! They smoke, don't they? I remember they smoke. Lieutenant Memory: Oh yeah, but- Captain Brain: Sh sh sh, I got this. Okay! What next?- Oh lets put 'em in that lovely friends excellent origin headcanon- Lieutenant Memory: Alright alright... but SIR- Captain Brain: I'M BUSY, LIEUTENENT. ~ Several Moments Later ~ Lieutenant Memory: *Writes something on white board very angrily as the Captain wouldn't listen to them* *Shoves it in front of the Captains face, slamming in on the table in front of them* Captain Brain: What?- what?- what is it Lieu- Captain Brain: ... wait that one's not Wheezy?! Lieutenant: WHEEZY'S BLUE Captain Brain: WHAT!? Lieutenent Brain: He w h e e z e s. Because he s m o k e s, sir! Officer at the Controls: *Sighs. This job is not worth the college credit* I'll just stick a beer in his hand and hope she didn't notice...

Anyway, thank you so much for sharing!! I absolutely love hearing about peoples dreams, especially when they were excited about it!! And having Toon Patrol dream is always amazing and fun XD Even with a good helping of angst! XD 😅 I hope you woke up with good vibes though ^^

[timidsteps]

He disappears after breakfast, promising to find her later. Of course, he'd wished her a quiet, heartfelt happy birthday first thing this morning, but that was the extent of any celebrations. He knows how embarrassing it feels when all eyes in the dining room are pinned on you--Mother doesn't deserve that!

Later ends up being nearly lunchtime. Assistant professor life doesn't stop merely for his mom's birthday. Tests need distributing, questions need answering, and adjusted schedules must be cleared.

His smile never falters through it all. Anticipation lends a quickness to his limbs, sprinting for his room the moment he's free of responsibilities. Arms full, he juggles his gifts on the way to the staff room.

"Mom!" Laslow calls, peering around the bouquet of red carnations. "Sorry I took long." He sets his bounty down on a nearby table, shaking out his tired arms with a sheepish glance at the boxes.

He has years' worth of missed birthdays to make up for. Subconsciously, he beings playing with an earring. "Happy birthday! They're a bunch of little trinkets, really. Stuff that reminded me of you." [The boxes contain: a carved figurine of a dancer mid-jump, a new silver headband, some knock-off candy that passes a replacement for the real thing in Ferox, and a handful of new coins for her dancer's outfit.]

One box in particular catches his attention. He grabs it, holding it out with a flourish. "Here, open this one first!" The pink bow wobbles but stays upright.

Two tickets for a traveling musical theater show rest inside. "Everyone I've asked loved it!"

Olivia didn't know what to make with her time here.

She knows that the monastery did, in fact, take the art of dancing pretty seriously. So she busies herself with trying to figure out a new routine—one with her own individual insight and experience to share with the rest of the instructors. One of them in particular, used to be a famous Songstress of the Adrestian Empire- and the dancer felt that there was no way that Manuela Casagranda was past her prime. She was a gorgeous woman, confident and brave enough to use her voice.

Oh, how nice would it be to use her own voice too.

And suddenly, she took a whiff of the color red.

Her lips raised upon the welcomed gift by the door: her precious baby boy. " You didn't have to get me anything Inigo... as ever, you are always too sweet." Just like his father.

She tries to help him handle all these bounties he's gathered all these years- by helping Inigo place them down upon the table. "Oh, my sweet, you shouldn't have."

Had there been roaming red haired lions wandering around, they would perhaps misinterpret the connection of the two situations. However, this wasn't a man just giving gifts to a dazzling woman- he was paying homage to his own mother.

Her eyes are quick to be filled to the brim with tears. There were so many gifts laid out for her upon the table. Too many blessings being bestowed to a mother who didn't actually give birth to him in this time line- but had upon another. Olivia takes her time to process these emotions and expresses her joy for the long awaited return of her greatest treasure.

She struggles to speak in words, but is able to remain present to receive. Opening the box slowly while sniffling- Olivia is ever grateful to become someone who is so loved. This was more than winning a prized lot in life. And even more than just a ticket stub to a show. This was living.

" Oh, Inigo...!" She quickly embraced her stellar star. "Thank you! "

After a little drama, soap stars' lives mesh Julie Pinson, Billy Warlock see their styles unite

By Diana McKeon Charkalis Special for USA TODAY July 6, 2007

LOS ANGELES — If marriage is about compromise, Julie Pinson and Billy Warlock got a crash course after their wedding last summer. That's when the daytime TV stars decided to renovate part of the 1930 three-bedroom, Spanish-style house that Pinson purchased in 2001.

Pinson, who stars as femme fatale Billie Reed on NBC's Days of Our Lives, looked around her living room, with its floral sofa and pink accents, and realized the ultra-girly stuff had to go. "I wanted to have a front room where I could be proud to have a cocktail party and not be embarrassed about my furniture," says Pinson, 39.

Warlock, 46, who plays political campaign manager Ben Hollander on CBS' The Young and the Restless, also had his preferences — like making sure he kept his oversized black leather massage chair. "My main criteria was that I wanted the house to be comfortable with a place for us to put our feet up."

To help them figure out how to make it work, they hired celebrity designer Kenneth Brown, whose reDesign airs on HGTV. "We decided to start with a clean slate and then bring in pieces they both agreed on," Brown says. "I think starting fresh allows people to see things with new eyes."

By switching from white walls to a warmer palette and adding details like crown molding, the house matured. "This was very much a single girl's house," Brown says. "Now it's a very sophisticated married celebrity couple's home."

Feminine elements still populate the kitchen, which remains the domain of Pinson, a highly skilled baker. She has a new cake-decorating station, a slab of counter Brown designed at a convenient height that allows Pinson to sit and work for hours. On this day she created a pink, three-layer cake adorned with 40 roses and "about 10 pounds of butter-cream frosting" for a family celebration.

"My cake decorating is where I get my artistry out," Pinson says. "It's very creative. And it tastes good after you're done."

Just off the kitchen is the den, a small room with a large TV where Warlock's massage chair found a home. "We put my stuff in the back of the house where nobody goes," Warlock says. "Each person has to have their own space. I have mine, and she has hers."

Pinson smiles and closes the door separating the kitchen from the den. "I can just put Billy back here with the Xbox or sports on TV, and I won't see him for hours."

Brown says clients most often experience "renovation breakdown" when work is being done on the kitchen. But for Pinson, it happened when the dining room walls were painted chocolate brown.

When Brown arrived at the house, he found Pinson in tears, clutching her Yorkie, Harry. "I never wanted to be one of those people I see on his show freaking out, but I became that person. I think I had a breakdown," Pinson says. "I like this color, and I appreciate it for what it is. It's just not my taste."

Warlock, meanwhile, approved of the paint, but he didn't press the point. "I like things more cozy; she likes them bright and airy. It's all about picking the battles. This room isn't that important to me. If she wants to change it, we'll change it."

Brown took it all in stride and suggested they take some time and live with it before making a decision.

In the living room, the couple most easily combined their senses of style. Brown replaced the white walls with a warm sandstone-colored paint and filled it with custom furniture accented by both masculine and feminine accessories.

For example, a pair of prints Brown chose to hang above a small table happily remind Pinson of her old floral sofa. "It's about finding that balance," Brown says. "We didn't want it to feel too flowery, but we didn't want it to have a billiards table."

Two new honey-colored leather chairs sit against one wall. They're beneath Warlock's colorful vintage French liquor poster that depicts a woman in a flowing dress. "He's had it for 24 years, and he's proud to say she's the only girl who's been in his life for that long besides his mom," Pinson says.

Pinson and Warlock themselves have a long history and were engaged once before, in 1999, but ended up calling off the wedding. They didn't see each other for years, but they reconnected when Warlock returned to Los Angeles for work. "Getting back together was a different feeling than the giddiness you have when you first meet someone," he says. "It's a much richer feeling."

Pinson says one reason she married Warlock is that he enjoys the feminine touches she adds to the home. Pinson suspected she'd met the man of her dreams the moment she laid eyes on his bedding. "I remember walking into his room and noticing the sheets were Ralph Lauren cabbage roses. All by himself he did that. I thought, 'This is a good sign.' "

[servin-up-surveys]

survey #183

Do you own a pocketknife, or any other kind of multi-tool? No.

What did your mother study at university? Social work. She graduated at ~60 and I'm so proud of her determination. Shatters my heart that she hasn't been able to use her degree though; due to Covid and her cancer, she never really got the chance to intern anywhere and she hates it so much.

What was the last thing you took a video of? That's a good question.

What are some of your least favorite foods? Brussel sprouts, asparagus, pulled pork & general southern barbecue (this does not include burgers and hot dogs, those I love), beans, fried chicken, carrots, celery, and A LOT more, I am so picky it's not even fucking funny. It's mostly texture stuff. The list would probably be the vast majority of food.

How old were you when you learned how to drive? Somewhere around 17? At least, that's when I took driver's ed. I never got my license and even my permit is expired by years.

Have you ever used a public pay phone? I don't believe so.

Do you know what the most common bird is in your area? Not really, no, but crows, robins, sparrows, bluejays, cardinals, and doves are a few that come to mind immediately.

How many teeth have you had extracted? Two wisdom teeth, both within the past year. They're thankfully the only ones I have.

What's a Halloween movie that you enjoy? Hocus Pocus is my favorite.

Would you ever walk a runway if given the opportunity? No, I don't want people focusing on me.

Would you say you're in a good place mentally? No; I am absolutely in a dip lately. I'm quite sure my body has stopped responding to my key mood stabilizer so I'm in the process of finding something else that works...

What's a popular candy that you do not like? Snickers, Tootsie Rolls, Mounds, Almond Joys, and Swedish Fish to name a few.

Do you bite your nails, cut them, or keep them long? So I actually have a habit of tearing them instead of either of these?? I really need to stop, because doing it often makes a tear too deep and will sometimes bleed, but it's a looooong-going habit.

Do you ever have to babysit? Not really, like I often go with my mom on Fridays to watch my niece (and other niece and nephew when school isn't going on), but I'm not the one taking care of her needs and stuff. I'm just there to interact.

Do you sing when alone? No, I barely sing at all.

Favorite pastel color? PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Favorite thing cats do? THE HEART EYES. If you've got an affectionate cat, you know what I mean: it's just this way they look at you, eyes mostly closed, and it's the most loving expression I've ever seen from any animal. I am also a massive sucker for affectionate headbutts, like I just love how expressive they are of bonds.

Butterflies, or dragonflies? I love both, but I'm fonder of butterflies.

Favorite kind of candy bar? It's a specific kind of Reese's that I don't see often; think of a Hershey's bar, but turn the squares into Reese's. It is fucking divine.

Favorite childhood store? oh I was a TOTAL Toys-R-Us kid. I was so mad when our local one got replaced with another store lol

Do you dream a lot? Do you remember your dreams? More like I have nightmares a lot. It's rare that I remember details long after awakening, but the general gist is basically always me being in danger but unable to physically defend myself; I usually wake up screaming at somebody. I say fucking awful things in my sleep, things I've never even said irl and never WOULD say, and it's extremely, extremely upsetting.

Have you ever lucid dreamed? I have once and only once and that shit between me and god lmfao

Have you ever intentionally killed an animal for fun? hi no I hope there's a special place in hell for a person like this

Did the person you lost your virginity to appreciate it? Well I haven't yet, but whenever it does happen I'm sure he'll cherish that I trust him enough for that. He knows I was abstinent most of my life.

What character trait are you most ashamed of? I am VERY impulsive, especially when upset. I've gotten better about it, but I've certainly said shit in the heat of the moment I wish I hadn't.

Do you prefer waffles or pancakes? Most of my life I strongly preferred pancakes, but I'm actually more into waffles now.

Are you craving anything right now? Yes, it's been a hot damn minute since I've had a soda and I am SUFFERING, like it's pathetic.

Are you content just blending in with the crowd? Yeah. I like to have some individuality about me, but I certainly don't want to stand out starkly.

Who is your celebrity crush? Richard Kruspe, yes he's very nearly my parents' age, and

If you had to choose a random color to dye your hair, what would you choose? Pastel pink. Hopefully one day... but my hair is so fucking reluctant to take color, especially pastels, apparently.

Do you like the color orange? Yeah, it's fine. I particularly like creamsicle-esque tints.

Have you ever shunned a family member or vice-versa? Yes, both ways.

Favorite shade of blue? Turquoise, probably.

Favorite soup? I haven't really had a soup I liked since I was a child.

Do you like mangoes? So I was pretty dumbfounded to discover I hate REAL mangoes, like they're so soft and mushy and it's disgusting, but I adore the flavor of mangoes, like it's my favorite type of juice.

What do you want most? A life where I'm truly happy. No real life will ever be without some sorrow, but I've got way too much in mine.

How is your mental health? Pretty damn poor. I'm absolutely back in a depression dip.

What are you thankful for currently? In this exact moment, notably my mom. I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do whenever her life's up, and it's a fear I have daily, knowing that her cancer will eventually re-emerge and almost certainly be her cause of death.

What’s an unpopular opinion you have politically? I am not pure ACAB; I support reform, and much of it, however I just don't believe cops are inherently bad. A gross amount are, but I do believe good cops with good intentions exist.

Name a song that’s fun to sing along to. lmfao I enjoy "Bartender Song" by Rehab a lot for this

Who is tallest in your family? Uhhh... probably my brother Bobby?

Do you currently have a headache? No, thankfully. One thing not wrong.

What's the first thing you usually do when you get off work or school? When I used to be in school, I immediately did homework because I wanted it out of the way.

If you could be famous for anything, what would you choose to be famous for? Taking a really iconic photograph with a very obvious, strong message.

Who is your favorite YouTuber? Of all-time, Markiplier, but these days I've been most actively into Game Grumps and John Wolfe.

Who is the nicest person you’ve ever met? I dunno; I know a good deal of very nice people.

How about the meanest? That *I* personally know, my old friend Colleen. She was so fucking hateful and just generally unpleasant, and the kind of asshole who was a garbage individual to people in customer service, and over NO good reasons. The only reason I ever stayed friends with her so long was my own loneliness; at a time she was the only person outside family I ever, ever saw/did things with. That and I give people way too many damn chances, like our friendship broke apart many times prior to the final "okay I'm done."

What was the last thing you spoke to your mom about? I asked her what she went to Food Lion for.

When is the last time you felt appreciated for something you did? Ummm, I'm not totally sure at this very moment. Well actually probably yesterday; Girt came by after work and he had food ordered and I got it in for him, I know he appreciated that, even if it's just a small thing.

Are you the type of person who gets straight to the point? HAHAHA NO, I ramble like a MOTHERfucker, even when I totally don't intend it.

Do you enjoy playing board games? I actually really don't, they're just not very fun to me. Like some are okay, but I'm not having a great time. Way back when when Girt and I were just friends and he'd visit occasionally, we had a routine of generally playing board games, and honestly I don't miss that lmfao. I do enjoy Battleship though, and that's one we'd play a good amount.

Are there any movies you are wanting to see? THE FUCKING BARBIE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭 ugh no one wants to go with me and it sucks SO hard, I am absofuckinglutely seeing it when it comes to televisions, though.

Do you feel uncomfortable when people you hardly know confide in you? Honestly not at all, I'm very open to anyone confiding in me if they feel safe to; you never know if that person has really been holding shit in, and they see something in you they haven't in others.

What’s something you’re proud of yourself for? Coming as far as I have in healing my legs.

Have you ever gone over 3 months without shaving/waxing your legs? It's been like... three years, dude. I keep them covered always though, just because of societal expectations; my hair is extremely dark and anyone getting even a glimpse of them mortifies me. I stopped as my body got so unhealthy that shaving them became so exhausting and challenging that I just. Couldn't keep up with maintaining them. I want laser hair removal on my legs one day.

Have you ever swam in a saltwater pool? Yes, the pool for physical therapy was saltwater.

Do you think anyone has given up on you? At least three people, probably more.

Have you ever been pregnant? No.

Have you taken anyone’s virginity? Obviously not, given an earlier question.

Have you ever made your boy/girlfriend choose between you and someone else? No.

Do you remember when some of the Walmarts had a McDonald’s in them? Well yes, our local one has exactly that.

What is one recipe that you would like to learn how to make? This upcoming Thanksgiving, I want Mom to teach me how to make the fresh bread she did last year; it was the best bread I'd ever tasted in my entire fucking life and I want to know it for my own future. I need to learn way, way more basic cooking, though...

Do you believe that Jesus will come back in your lifetime? He never is.

Were you afraid of heights as a child? No, but I am as an adult.

Have you ever had a lead role in a play? No. Well, I super faintly remember being Mary in a Sunday school thing, but it was just an in-class little thing. Gotta love teaching little girls about a mystically impregnated virgin pre-teen.

Do you have a chandelier in your home? No.

Are you a Jeffree Star fan? Or no? Yes, he's a public figure that to me has exhibited more growth than any other human I've been exposed to. There are behaviors I disagree with, but no person is all white or all black when it comes to being a moral or bad person.

Do you own a guitar? Specify. Which brand of guitar do you own? I no longer do; I had an electric guitar from a brand I can't recall (nothing impressive, very basic), but I sold it to a parts shop when I was trying to scrounge up money to afford my newest tattoo.

Are you a monogamous person? Or do you hate commitment? I personally am, but I have no problem with polygamous individuals, so long as they're open about this with their partners.

Who was the last person who was rude to you? My mom; a few days ago, something she did/said made me cry for a while.

Have you ever met someone in person that you first met online? Sara, yes. There are a number of other long-time online friends I want to physically meet one day.

Who do you know who is dyslexic? I feel like I remember hearing that my niece Aubree is? She's autistic and I at LEAST know Mom has said she exhibits traits of it.

Is weed legal in your state? No, NC is behind in the times in MANY regards.

What is something that you used to be ashamed of, but now you’re not? As a child, I became very embarrassed by my obsession with Pokemon because I was a girl and it was "weird;" it's because of this I never asked my mom for games and I never wanted anyone to see me explore the Pokemon website. As an adult though, I'm totally open about my love for the franchise, I know partially BECAUSE it's so loved nowadays. Even as a pre-k kid, my embarrassment reaction was SO insanely strong and I never, ever wanted people to see me as a weird girl. I still carry that behavior today, just with different stuff.

Have you ever held a newborn baby? Yes, when my youngest niece was born. I was seated though, I was way too scared to hold her otherwise.

Out of all your usernames for websites, which one is your favorite? Do you use it for more than one site? Ozzkat, it's the classic and what I use for the majority of places.

Have you ever spent the whole day (or multiple days) just looking up one thing on the internet (e.g., videos of your favorite band, how-to videos, quizzes, etc.)? hi i hyperfixate and do this shit regularly

Have you ever been in a situation where you had to be around your ex everyday? No. Well I mean, when Sara and I were still in contact, daily RP posts normally happened, but that was just a website.

Which condiment (ketchup, mustard, etc.) do you use the most of? Probably ketchup. It's funny, I hated ketchup as a kid.

Would you ever flirt with somebody in front of your parents? With my significant other, yes, so long as it wasn't too suggestive, 'cuz then it's just weird.

Have your parents ever questioned your virginity? I know my mom has. Dad probably assumes I'm not, but idk, I certainly don't talk about this with him.

How many of your friends play World of Warcraft? I have no idea; I have friends I know through the game, so obviously them, but I'm not sure if I have any "in my real life" friends who currently play. I know numerous people who have.

Is there a certain song you like to headbang to? No; surprisingly, headbanging has never been and probably never will be my thing. I don't like headaches.

Is there a garage or carport attached to your house? No.

[mutatedangels-a]

His own house was too much like a summer sanctuary for him to ruin it by bringing work over. Jamie wasn't left with much choice; it was either get swept up and distracted by all the new (and old) things at the library and fail to make a dent in planning his curricula, or head somewhere he knew he wasn't going to have any distractions.

And that place was, unfortunately, in his own office on campus.

They should really lock this whole place up—build iron bars or cement walls that rose over everything and sealed it—for the whole summer for everyone's sake. But they weren't going to do that because, well, they could count on idiots like him to come in and do some work. And if they couldn't get in, well, they'd probably try and torch the iron or jackhammer the cement.

He walked into his office with his briefcase full of things when he suddenly saw a head of blonde hair, turning around at the right time, already in there. It seemed as if they both spooked each other because Jamie honestly wasn't expecting anyone else to be around here, save for the custodial staff and groundskeepers.

It was Tobi.

What the hell was she doing here?

"You're the one who scared the crap outta me, kiddo," he protested, circling past her to set his things down at his desk. He took a sip of his thermos full of warm coffee before setting that down too.

At this closer distance he could see how summer had left an imprint on her. She was just the slightest bit tan, freckles coming out of her face. Her hair was freshly dyed a hot pink, not almost-fading like it was when they saw each other about a month ago. Her clothes, he'd never seen before, but he could tell it was a hot day outside due to the very lack of them.

But perhaps, most noticeable, most detrimental, were the hickeys she sported around her neck like medals.

He tried not to mention it. A frog was lodged in his throat.

With a clear of his throat, he thought to address the package she delivered. His brow lifted.

"You brought me... alcohol?" A pause, then he snickered, pulling it out of its package and admiring it for a moment. It was the expensive stuff.

"Well, now that you mention it I was looking forward to finding your replacement in a couple of weeks—" about how much they had left before school was back in session— "but you put me in a tough spot bringing me such a nice gift."

Nevertheless, Jamie wore a smile. Albeit, somewhat forced. Still bitter about the whole hickeys thing, so he just looked at her dead-on in her big green eyes as much as he could. (Though something was peeving him off, it was clear on his face.) "So I think it's safe to say you've still got your spot for now."

"No, but, I can't---"

Fighting him was fruitless, wasn't it? He didn't flinch, he didn't even hesitate. Tobi frowned, following him as he went and cashed out. This was absurd. She hadn't done anything to deserve that sort of thing, and it wasn't that deep...

She was so fixated on what had just happened that the sound of her own name being called made her jump. It took everything in her power to try and look happy about the whole situation. It wasn't Ryan's fault that she was using him to fill a void in her life. Maybe if she tried hard enough, she could make him fill the Jamie-shaped emptiness in her soul.

Doubtful, but damn, she could try.

"Well, I..." She wrinkled her nose a little at the idea of going back to whatever nonsense her life had become. After a pause, she looked at him and her expression softened.

"Thank you."

Tobi reached and gently squeezed his hand in lieu of a hug. Between her legs being uncooperative and her boyfriend's gaze on them, a hug wasn't particularly in the cards.

"Took you long enough to notice I wasn't beside you, Ryan," Tobi teased gently. A pair of piercing blue eyes looked Jamie over. October rolled her eyes.

"I'll see you soon, professor. C'mon, Ryan, let's go. Watch where you walk this time, yeah?"

The next few weeks felt...hollow. The void wasn't being filled. Half the time, the cover over it didn't even help. Her emotions just kept getting sucked into the void, pulled from her and held hostage until she had what she needed.

It was late summer, a few weeks before classes were set to start again. Tobi walked down the mostly empty halls, a bag on her back and a small package in her hand, nearly clutched to her chest.

The path was familiar, so familiar she could do it in her sleep. She was lucky enough that his office had stayed the same place it always had been, otherwise, this situation would have been a lot harder.

Slowly, carefully, she opened the door, peering in. October crept towards the desk, gingerly placing the package there before ehe was immediately startled by another human being. She let out a shriek and scrambled back before---

"Professor! Jesus christ!"

Tobi started to laugh, her hand resting over her heart as it raced.

"Holy shit, am I going to have to put little jingly bells on you so I know where you are at all times?! My god, aren't you old folk supposed to be creaky or something?!"

She let out a sigh.

"I brought you a gift. Didn't want to be caught and have security question why I have liquor on my person, so I figured I'd do it real sneaky before classes start in a few weeks. That was, of course, until you nearly peer pressured my soul out of my body."

As she stood there, she grinned at him, all short shorts and lace crop top, hickies on her neck and fresh pink hair dye in her bangs. The light freckles on her cheeks and shoulders indicated she had gotten a little sun over the past few weeks.

She looked like the spontaneous college girl she should be. She looked...something resembling happy. That happy didn't quite meet her eyes, or match her, but she was doing her damned best.

"Miss me yet, old man? Or have scoped out my replacement yet?"

[cubicle-eyes]

Campus

( I FORGOT TO ANSWER THE OG ASK TO THIS MY BAD )

Anon asked...

" raine x gender neutral reader fluff? any scenario is fine "

On it!

( wdym this sounds like the lumity kiss scene?? 🤨🤨 ur crazy )

" in the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass. And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class. "

---

"Hey, Rainestorm, you with me?" Eda snapped her fingers in her friends face, making the witch jump.

"Eda! Be quiet!"

"Ohhhh, I get it. You're spying on Y/N again, aren't ya?"

The redhead grinned, putting her hands on her hips and swaying slightly, like she felt very accomplished for knowing that.

Raine was sitting underneath the old tree by the grudgby field, sneaking glances up at their partner as Y/N rest on the balcony of Principal Faust's office. Yeah, being his kid was not very fun. Raine sighed, wishing Y/N would be allowed to come down here to talk with them before school officially let out. Eda took one look at Raine's face and sighed.

"This is all very poetic and stuff, Romeo and Juliet- but I think it's time we played a little more into that fantasy side."

"You're about to get us in trouble, aren't you?"

"Yep! Hold your centaurs, Rainestorm, we're about to rescue your awesome partner!"

Y/N was very easily awoken by the whistle Eda gave, standing in suprise and rubbing their eyes sleepily. Y/N leaned over the balcony, eyebrows raised. Eda was holding up a paper with "DISTRACT FAUST" written across it in bold letters, and Y/N gave her a thumbs up before spinning on their heel and stepping into the office. Faust frowned deeper.

"Dad, two kids are fighting on the front lawn."

"Mm. We'll take care of it. Vice Principal?"

"Yes, Faust?"

"Watch over Y/N. I'll be right back."

He said it like a threat, but Y/N was immune to his cold nature by now. Bump swallowed thickly as the door shut. Y/N rolled thier eyes.

"Bump, you just.. stay in the office, 'kay?"

"I-I'll do what I like, Y/N."

"Okay."

Y/N said it with an almost questioning tone that got Bump nervous, and before he could question them Y/N had slipped back outside, grateful for the fact the windows had thick blinds over them. Y/N leaned over the balcony again, but stumbled back when Raine popped up in front of them, flustered.

"Eda! You did it too early!"

"My bad! Continue on!"

"Raine? What are you doing?"

Y/N grinned, watching the vines creep up over the edges of the stone balcony, pink flowers sprouting and casting their own scent through the air. Raine was standing on a large vine leaf, and they grinned as Y/N took their hands.

"Saying hi."

"You dork. I wish I could just come down there, instead of making you and Eda do.. this. Aren't you scared?"

"Peeing my pants right now. This leaf is NOT very stable. I think if you blew on me I'd completely fall over."

Y/N laughed and Raine grinned, proud of themself. Y/N leaned on the balcony, their faces inches apart. Raine scrunched their nose.

"UH, GUYS? THIS IS VERY CUTE TO WATCH AND ALL BUT PLANT MAGIC ISN'T MY SPECIALTY!"

"Oh! Okay, Eda!"

Y/N shouted, waving. They turned back to Raine, cupping their face quickly to press their lips to Raine's forehead for a quick kiss. Y/N laughed as Raine's glasses started fogging up. They pulled them off quickly, wiping at the glass and starting to ramble.

"T-These things are so annoying! I mean, I almost wish I was blind instead. No, wait, that's not nice. I-It's just bad because it's-"

"HURRY IT UP, RAINESTORM!"

"EDA!"

Raine shouted, shoving their glasses back on their face. The vines started shaking and Eda grunted from below. Raine inhaled sharply. Y/N smiled, drawing their own circle in the air, sneakily replacing Eda's magic with their own. The witch still on the ground flopped backwards into the grass, tired. Raine scrunched their nose again.

"Alright, better head down. Faust will be back soon."

"Oh, fine. Can you still come over tomorrow?"

"So far. I'll see you then, Raine."

Y/N started lowering the vine, but Raine quickly pressed a kiss to their cheek, making the witch falter, and, in succession, the vine. Y/N squeaked as Raine started falling, the vine retracting quickly and into the dirt. Eda reacted quickly, catching Raine bridal-style and making the both of them fall to the ground.

"Sorry!" Y/N called, wanting to laugh, but they'd wait until they made sure Eda and Raine were okay.

"It's okay! Eda broke my fall!"

"I think the ground broke a rib."

"Head to the healing Coven anyways, okay?" Y/N laughed, waving. Raine waved back, staying seated on top of Eda's stomach until she finally started to wrestle them off.

Y/N chuckled to themself, watching their partner and best friend wrestle on the grass playfully, leaning on the stone railing and propping their head up on a fist, crossing the back of their heels.

Y/N couldn't wait for them to cause all sorts of mischief when they got out of this stupid campus.

*insert Bump watching through the blinds and sobbing because it was too cute for him*

I like this AND hate this?? I'll fake myself into loving it sooner or later.

Hidan, Deidara, Sasori, and Kakuzu w/a teammate that has a ‘London Tipton’ personality.

Akatsuki Masterlist

TW: Slightly suggestive themes.

The Akatsuki gathered in the hideout that evening. They looked at their leader with anticipation.

 Today they would be meeting their newest member.

 Pain spoke.

 “Everyone, we have a new member joining our organization. Her name is-“

 “-MAKE WAYYYYY!” A cherry voice rang.

 “Y/N L/N coming through!”

 Everyone turned to see you, sitting on a mountain top of sparkly pink bags that were on a cart.

 You had redesigned the Akatsuki cloak, cutting it into a two piece one shouldered top that revealed your cleavage and midriff along with a short skirt that had a hip slit.

 You had redyed the cloud patterns from red to pink. The white outlines were replaced with a super sparkly ones to match your pink sparkly sandals.

 Tobi was excitedly, pushing your said cart.

 When you got close enough to the others, Tobi stopped pushing. You immediately hopped off the cart before waving with both hands at everyone.

 “Sorry I’m lateeee!” You sang.

 You turned to Pain who raised an eyebrow at you.

 “I had to pack all of my designer clothes in all 30 of my bags!”

 “You’re little butler came in handy though,” you say as you point your thumbs to Tobi who passed out from exhaustion.

 The other Akatsuki members had mixed reactions.

 Who was this girl and why was she casually parading the hideout, half dressed, and with so many bags?

 “Y/N…” Pain says flatly.

 “…This isn’t a vacation. Tobi is not your butler.”

 “Well I needed someone to help me push my stuff. By the way, I need someone to help me unload my portable hot tub,” you stated.

 A big smile spread on Hidan’s face. “Did that doll just say hot tub?”

 “Shut. Up. Hidan,” Kakuzu hissed.

 Pain scanned your skimpy attire with a raised eyebrow.

 “Y/N…you’re clothes…it’s…”

 “Do you like it, Daddy? I made it cute and added some SPARKLES!” You cheered as you did a little dance.

 “I even made it match my nails!” You showed him your long nails that had pink Akatsuki clouds on it.

 Now Pain was baffled. Did you just call him daddy?

 You called him that because you saw him as your savior.

 You real dad was a billionaire tycoon. You killed him for the pettiest reason as he took away your allowance.

 This pissed off a lot of people including business partners and gangs.

 You were left on your own and were labeled a missing nin.

 That was when Pain found and recruited you into the Akatsuki.

 Now that you had presented yourself in such a frivolous and flamboyant manner, Pain was starting to have second thoughts about bringing you into his cause.

 Then again, there was your special power that he found to be useful.

 He just had to wonder how you’d fair with the others as teammates.

 You took notice of the other Akatsuki who just stared at you with a mixture of either confused, shocked, or bored expressions.

 You tilted your head.

 “Daddy? Who are all these poor people?”

  Hidan:  

To Hidan, you were the eye candy of the Akatsuki. A piece of fine ass and nothing more.

“You’re scythe would be a lot prettier with some sparkles, Hidan!”

“You’re necklace is so vintage! Is it designer?”

“Who’s Jashin? Ooh! Is he a royal prince from another country?”

Sure you may have said a lot of stupid things, but shit you were a lot more fun to talk to than Kakuzu!

Not to mention pretty to look at. It was nice to travel the road with a nice pair of tits.

He wanted to try his luck and get under that skirt of yours, but you just seemed too innocent.

The two of you were sitting together outside of the “stinky collection office” when you sparked an idea.

“Hey, when the old guys not looking, let’s swipe some of that money and go shopping!” You sang.

Hidan looked at you in bewilderment, “the hell? I’m not going shopping!”

You pouted cutely before hugging his arm. You then rub your breasts against it. “But who’s gonna tell me if my bikini looks nice on me? That it fits in all the right places?”

Hidan grinned at the sight as your soft breasts continued to tickle his arm. Bikini shopping? Oh he was sold!

You had stepped out of the fitting room at the store where Hidan was waiting for you.

A grin spread across his face as he takes in your figure that was wrapped nicely in the lacy red bra and thong bottom set.

A look of confusion spreads across your face as you stared at your outfit. “This bikini you picked out feels really weird…”

“Are you kidding, Dollface? Red lace is all the rage these days,” he says.

You smiled. “Then I’ll buy it!”

Hidan smirked, “good. Make sure you wear that around the hideout too. For me.”

The night didn’t stop there because you dragged Hidan to a bar.

You were a lot of fun and such a big spender.

The fun sadly came to an end when you and Hidan met an angry Kakuzu back at the hideout. His angry green eyes bore into you.

“I’LL KILL YOU!”

Kakuzu charged towards you but Hidan immediately blocked him with his scythe.

“GET OUT OF THE WAY HIDAN!” Kakuzu shouted.

“No way! I’m not letting you kill off our only source of eye candy around here!” Hidan barked back.

“Get em Hidan!” You cheered.

A fight soon broke out which ended with Hidan’s head getting chopped off. Finally letting off enough steam, Kakuzu stormed off.

You had rushed over to his side and picked up his head. Hidan gave you a lazy smile.

“You alright, gorgeous?”

You smiled at him, “my hero!”

You kissed his cheek, staining it with your hot pink designer lipstick.

  Kakuzu:  

Kakuzu disliked you since day one.

Hidan was insufferable enough.

Just why the hell were you a part of the Akatsuki anyway?

You were sitting on the couch with him and Hidan at the hideout. You stared at Kakuzu as he counted the money from his latest bounty collect.

“So how do you have so many hearts?” You asked him.

“I stole them from village elders…” he answered simply.

You blushed as you brought your hands to your chest.

“How romantic!!!”

Kakuzu twitched in annoyance as Hidan laughed.

“That’s not what I meant, you idiot…

“Do you think I’m pretty?” You asked him.

“No…” he says coldly.

You brought your manicured hands to your lips as you let out loud exaggerated gasp which makes him cringe.

You turn to Hidan and pout.

“Hidan do you think I’m pretty?”

He smirks as he brings his eyes to your boobs. “You’re banging gorgeous, Dollface!”

You squeal as you clap your hands together “YAY ME!”

“You’re both insufferable…” Kakuzu said.

You pouted as you glared at him. “Oh Cockatoo! Even with all that money you’re still POOR!”

Hidan threw his head back, laughing at the nickname. “Cockatoo?! Ha ha! Oh babe you crack me up!”

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes at you. “At least I can spell poor…”

You glared at him, “I can too spell poor!”

“P-O-“ you look up at the ceiling as you tilt your head in confusion. “Uh…”

Kakuzu rolled his eyes, “pathetic…”

“Who needs you Cockatoo?! You’re meaner than that two tails Juju-Key lady we fought!” You snapped.

”Jinchuriki, you idiot…” Kakuzu corrected.

”Shut up!” You hissed.

You then crawl over to Hidan’s lap to straddle him, earning a smirk from the silver haired Jashinist.

“Hidan! There’s a small village nearby! Let’s go out and sacrifice some more poor people to Prince Jashin!”

“Now you’re talking, gorgeous!” Hidan laughed as he snaked his hand to your ass.

You giggle and hug him wrapping your arms around his neck. “You’re the best Hidan!”

Hidan smirked over your shoulder before he glanced at your bare hip that was revealed under your skirt. He shamelessly lifted it to reveal what was underneath.

“You are too, Princess.” He grins.

Kakuzu glanced up from his money and stared at your bare ass that was revealed by the thong Hidan picked out for you.

His eyes met Hidan who gave him a knowing smirk.

Hidan was at least right about one thing: you were a piece of fine ass. He’ll try not to kill you as much.

“Ooh! I know!” You squealed as you jumped off of Hidan’s lap. You made an exaggerated stance and hand sign.

“Why don’t I show you guys my Kiki Genki thingy?”

An awkward silence fills the room as you gave the two men a big smile.

“You mean Kekkei Genkai?” Hidan asks.

Realization went through Kakuzu’s mind.

So that’s why Leader made you join the Akatsuki.

“I can make the sky all hot, blue, and sparkly!” You sang as you did a cute little dance.

Hidan laughed as Kakuzu raised an eyebrow.

So you could use lightening style. That piqued his interest.

“Look at this!” You cheered. You made random hand signs.

ZAP!

Lightening then shot out of nowhere…

…and onto Kakuzu’s money briefcase causing it to catch on fire.

Kakuzu widened his eyes. “NO!”

Hidan widened his eyes. He’d never imagined you’d be so powerful. “Whoa…”

You jumped up and squealed as you clapped your hands together. “Ooh! I made a fire! YAY ME!”

Kakuzu brought out his tendrils towards you.

“I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!”

You widened your eyes in fear. “Uh oh…”

  Deidara:

Like Hidan, Deidara thought you were a pretty face.

Considering how you showed interest in his art, he was at least nicer to you than Kakuzu.

…If only you weren’t so ignorant though…

“How do you eat with those cute little hand mouth thingies?”

Cute?! His art wasn’t meant to be cute! His art was an explosion!

“Hey Deidara, can I feed your hand mouth thingies?”

“They’re not thingies! They’re tools to help perfect my art, hm!” He said you.

“Can you make me a pony?” You cooed.

Deidara looked at you like you were an idiot. “What?”

You pouted, “I want a pony! Now make me a pony!”

Deidara didn’t know how, but you managed to convince him to make you a giant clay pony.

Deidara smirked as he watched you squeal with delight at the sight.

“I’m glad someone appreciates my art, hm.”

You start doing some hand signs, “Now to give it some more SPARKLESSSS!”

Suddenly the clay pony was now covered in sparkles of different colors.

“I have a pretty pony! YAY ME!” You clapped your hands together.

Deidara stared at the studded pony in awe. “Wow…it’s…beautiful…”

In his eyes, you had an eye for art.

The two of you found yourselves spending time together, going on shopping trips or going on missions together.

“Deidara look at those poor people!” You say with a smile as you point down below to a house.

“Let’s blow them up!” You smiled.

Deidara smirked at you. “Why? Do you wanna blow up poor people so much?”

“Don’t ask questions! Just do it! Show these uncultured peasants what true art is!” You say.

Deidara laughed and happily complied with your suggestion.

He really did enjoy spending time with you.

Deidara appreciated it when you would go out your way to buy him nice things. Like designer hair ties and even designer clay.

“I had this designer clay imported from another country!” You say happily.

Deidara widened his eyes. “You did all this for me?! But how? And…why?”

Your eyes soften as you smile at him. “Cuz your my BFF, Dei Dei!” You cooed. You gave him a few air kisses on each ‘cheek’ before leaving.

Deidara never would have thought that anyone would go out of their way to help him perfect his art.

And did you just call him Dei Dei?

He felt his heartstrings tug a bit as the feeling of warmth filled him inside.

You may have not been the brightest, but you sure were the sweetest. Maybe Deidara was starting to feel something towards you?

“Deidara, why do you call Sasori your man? Are you two together?” You asked him suddenly when you were together at the hideout.

Deidara flushed as he widened his eyes at you. “What? No! I’m not-I mean i call everyone here ‘my man’.”

You let out an exaggerated gasp.

“Oh. My. GOD! Am I a man too?!”

Deidara sweatdropped, “No Y/N it’s just-“

You started undoing your top. “Deidara, I’m gonna need you to check! I need to know the truth!”

Deidara’s face got even redder as your cleavage started coming more into full view.

“Whoa! Y/N what are you-?!”

BOING!

Blood immediately shot out of Deidara’s nose as he fell back.

You screamed as his blood coated your bare breasts.

“Ewwww! Poor people blood!”

You stormed away from Deidara, leaving him in a dazed state as more blood leaked from his nose.

  Sasori:

To say Sasori didn’t like you, was an understatement.

Between the dumb questions, your incompetence, and you constantly begging him to go shopping, he felt like he was going to burst into flames.

He was absolutely baffled when you told him that you thought that the Akatsuki were an elite fashion club that wore matching outfits.

He never would have thought he’d feel anger like this. Not since he’d became a puppet anyways.

“Why do you play with that bug doll thing?” You asked him.

“It’s not a doll. Hiruko is my puppet armor,” He said flatly.

“But Sasori, you’re like 15…”

“I’m 35, you brat!”

You let out an exaggerated gasp which made Sasori cringe.

“Oh my gosh, really? Your skin looks flawless! Not even a single wrinkle! What’s your secret, Sasori?” You asked.

“Get out! I’m busy!” Sasori hissed.

You pouted, “you’re so mean! That’s no way to talk to your wife!”

Sasori looked at you like you were insane.

“We’re not married, you-!”

“Yes we are! See?” You raised up your pinky showing your Akatsuki ring.

“Daddy gave all of us matching custom rings and everything!” You say with a pout.

Sasori deadpanned. You really were an idiot…

What Sasori didn’t imagine, was what you would do next…

He bursted into his room to see you with his puppet.

You smiled at him. “Sasori! Look! I made Hickory all pretty!”

Sasori widened his eyes in horror.

There stood Hiruko dressed in a sparkly pink gown, a blonde wig, heavy makeup, and lashes.

“I’ve been putting pretty dresses on your dolls! Aren’t it pretty?”

Sasori’s eyes darkened. He suddenly took off his Akatsuki cloak revealing the ropes and blades on his body.

You gasped in horror. “SASORI?!”

You gave him an incredulous look. “…You got plastic surgery?!”

The blades on his body started spinning which made you shrink back in fear.

“Um…S-Sasori?”

He raised a menacing hand towards you.

“DIE…”

Crush - Andrew Detmer x Reader

Summary: Andrew isn’t used to having friends- he’s also not used to pretty girls asking if he’s okay.

Tags/warnings: andrew detmer x fem!reader, friends to lovers, fluff, andrew getting the love he deserves goddammit

A/N: I FINALLT FUCKIN DID IT YALL IT TOOK ME LIKE THREE MONTHS BHT I MADE THE ANDREW X READER LMAOOO

It had been barely a week since you met Andrew at the barn party, and he hadn’t stopped thinking about you since.

You had a certain kindness, a warmth in your eyes, that made his heart skip a beat and filled his nervous stomach with butterflies. He could barely stand to look you in the eye, as much as he wanted to, and he always prayed to god you never noticed. All he ever wanted was to impress you, to keep you, to see you smile at him and ask him how he was doing.

The way you met was enough to make him fall in love in itself- he was crying outside, alone with nothing more than his camera. Then came you, you with your ripped tights and chipped black nail polish, you who asked if he was okay and asked again after he swore he didn’t hear you right. It was you who sat with him and talked for an hour, telling him that things would be okay, listening to him spill everything he had been holding in for so long. And when he’d stopped crying, when you had to go home, it was you who uncapped the black sharpie with your teeth and wrote your number on his arm to “talk to me whenever you want- even if it’s not about deep stuff.”

Now it was him, sitting in your bedroom on your bed, his face beet red and flushed with nerves. He was trying to listen to you talk about the album that was playing after you slipped it into your pink CD player, but all he could focus on was how pretty you were, god how pretty you were, and how he didn’t have the guts to contribute much more than a “that’s cool” to the conversation. Thankfully, you didn’t really seem to mind. You were good at keeping the conversation going, asking him questions and bringing up new topics when you knew he was too shy to bring them up himself. Occasionally, he’d have to remind himself of how surreal it was to be sitting in the bedroom of a cute girl, after she had invited him to come over and play Mortal Kombat. The feeling never fully went away, but there were times where he forgot, and could feel himself grinning and being pulled more and more into the conversation and the ease that you tried your hardest to give him with a warm smile and random “are you okay?”s and “are you having fun? We can do something else if you want.”

There was a moment of brief silence while he looked at you, your favorite album playing and being muffled by the noises in his head. He suddenly found himself blurting out the words that has truthfully been on his mind all week.

“Why did you talk to me? At Haven Hills.”

You paused, glancing at him briefly and pursing your lips. Truthfully, it was more of an impulse decision when you noticed him crying on the wet grass. He looked so alone, so miserable. There was something about him- maybe just something about people who were in pain- that made you want to make him happy, and make him feel cared for. He looked almost like a reflection of yourself from the days when you felt so isolated and deflated. The separation from the crowd while they danced inside a place that you never really felt you belonged in.

“I don’t know- you were upset, and I wanted to make you feel better.” You told him. “You looked like you needed a friend.”

Andrew hesitated, furrowing his brows and staring down at the carpet, thinking. “So… Is that why you invited me over, then? You just wanted to make me feel better?”

“Of course not,” you replied. “I wanted to hang out with you because I thought you seemed cool. And you are- y’know… Cool, I mean.”

Andrew’s frown faded, being replaced with a shy smile. “Thanks,” he mumbled. “You’re cool, too. I mean… really cool. Way too cool to hang out with me.”

“Dude, are you kidding?” You grinned at him. “You’re awesome, Andrew. You’re funny, you’re sweet, you’re almost as good as me at Mortal Kombat, I could go on.”

Andrew giggled, making your heart skip a beat. God, he’s pretty.

The two of you hung out at your apartment for hours, switching between videogames, baking cookies, and talking about anything and everything. Once Andrew had relaxed (as much as he could, anyway) and felt more comfortable talking about himself to you, you both realized you had a lot in common- but it was when the sun fell behind the trees and stars lit up the sky that you started to talk about more than just your music taste and favorite movies.

You only had one lamp in your room, a bulb without a shade that sat on your bedside table. You were both tired and done for, lying on your bed on your backs under the dim yellow light. Andrew was playing with the loose threads of his sleeves as he stole little glances at you, always flicking his gaze back to the ceiling before you could catch him. You had seen him staring at you all day- you weren’t stupid, and you could tell when someone was into you. You’d seen the way he looked at you, and the way he got flustered when you looked into his eyes and teased him. He always looked so cute like that- blushing and smiling down at his hands in his lap whenever you complimented him.

“I, um…” Andrew started, clearing his throat. “I’ve had a really nice time… by the way,” he mumbled quietly, stealing a quick glance at your facial expressions a couple times.

“I’m glad.” You beamed, turning over on your side to look at him. You nestled your hands under your cheek. “I’ve had a lot of fun, too.”

Andrew hesitated before mimicking your position, turning to face you. You could see his face was dusted with pink, avoiding your gaze. There was no denying that your faces were awfully close to one another, so much so that you could smell the soft scent of his cologne and he could smell the flowers in your shampoo. His skin looked so soft, void of imperfections, and his hauntingly blue eyes were constantly looking everywhere but you. It wasn’t an insult- far from it- you knew it was because the closeness made him nervous.

“I’ve never really done anything like this,” he blurted out, his eyes moving up to yours for a second before returning to your checkered bed sheets.

“Done anything like what?” You asked, raising a brow.

“Had friends,” he said quietly. You could feel your heart sink in your chest as he said it, furrowing your brows and pursing your lips involuntarily. “Nobody ever asks me to do stuff like this. My cousin Matt drives me to school and picks me up, but he doesn’t even say hi when he sees me in the hallways. He invited me to that stupid fucking party at Haven Hills and then he just ditched me. No one’s ever just… taken the time to talk to me. To get to know me.”

You had always been a very empathetic person, and hearing him talk about his life and how people had treated him nearly made you tear up. You wanted to pull him close to you and hold him, or caress his cheek and brush his hair out of his face, but you were afraid of coming on too strong or too quickly. You just wanted to comfort him in any way you could.

“Well, that’s fucking stupid. I love hanging out with you.” You grinned at him and his pretty blue eyes drifted up to meet yours, a smile replacing the previous frown on his lips.

Every time he looked at you, heard your voice validating him and assuring him you enjoyed his presence, he could feel himself growing more and more attached at an unsettling rate. Andrew was undoubtedly an obsessive person, and you were making it increasingly more difficult to not be obsessed with. You were so caring, so endlessly kind and sweet to him, something no one had ever bothered to do.

“I… I really love hanging out with you.” He mumbled and smiled brightly down at the sheets below him, unable to contain the excitement that was building in his chest.

“I mean, I- I really like you. You know, as a person. I mean, um- if… Unless you…” He was stumbling over his words with his heart pounding in his chest. He didn’t mean to let those words slip, a string of words that he’d never really confessed before, whether it was more obvious or not. Everything about you just made him so nervous and so happy all at the same time.

“You like me?” You smirked, looking him up and down. “You got a crush on me or something, Andrew?”

His lips parted in shock as he looked up at you with wide eyes, which didn’t last long as he couldn’t will himself to maintain the eye contact. His gaze flicked down again, then side to side, trying to think of what to say. His face was beet red at this point, and his mouth was dry, still attempting to form the right words. Come on, dude, he told himself. Just say something.

“Uh… A pretty big crush on you- yea.” His voice was quiet and airy as he smiled. He bit his lips as he looked up at you, gaging your reaction. He was terrified that you’d make fun of him, that he ruined his chances of even just being friends with you. What if you were just making fun of him? What if you were just kidding, and now he ruined everything.

“I’ve got a pretty big crush on you, too,” you replied, beaming.

He could feel his heart stop in his chest as a bright smile spread on his face. His stomach was filled with nervous and excited butterflies as his eyes flicked up to yours quickly. “R-Really?” He opened his mouth and closed it, hesitating on his words. “Like… you’re being serious right now?”

You giggled and nodded. “Of course,” you told him. “Dead serious.”

Andrew bit his lip as he looked down, his eyes slightly darting from side to side. He felt so happy, so pleasantly surprised, that he didn’t know what to say. But as he looked back up into your eyes, and your gaze flicked down to his mouth and back up again, all he could think about was how badly he wanted to kiss you. You were so close to him, with your pretty pink lips and soft skin. There was a hesitation in the air, a thick layer of silence and anticipation as you both met each other’s eyes.

“Can I kiss you?” You blurted out, a slight tint of pink settling on your cheeks.

“Fuck, please…” Andrew breathed before you immediately leaned forward and pressed your lips against his.

Andrew had never kissed anyone before- he had thought about the moment he would for so long, always worried that he wouldn’t know what to do. And at that first second, he was frozen, his heart thudding in his ears with a vulnerability he’d never felt before. But once the feeling had sunken in, his mouth moved instinctually against yours.

Your hand had moved up and settled on his cheek, the warmth of your skin against his sending electricity across each of his nerves. His stomach was doing somersaults as he kissed you, trying to teeter on the line between letting himself move naturally and trying his hardest to not fuck up, to not do anything weird, to not accidentally bump his teeth against yours.

When you pulled away and smiled at him, he could feel himself melting into the mattress, a dopey grin on his face. He was sure his cheeks must have been red, and he could still feel the heat on his face that made it hard for him to look at you- but god, he loved looking at you. And you loved looking at him.

“Can we… Can we do that again?” He mumbled, avoiding your gaze before hesitantly looking up into your eyes again.

“Fuck, you’re so cute…” You teased, before pressing your lips against his once again and settling into the feeling.

That feeling that would never get any less euphoric over the following years.

pairing | stucky x pregnant!reader

summary | reader finds out she’s pregnant and tells the boys but they all get suprised in the end

warnings | pregnancy and indication of smut

a/n | hi my darlings!!!!! i love stucky with all my heart and wrote this bc i thought it would be super cute! i apologize if their are any mistakes about the pregnancy thing and the ultrasound stuff because quite frankly i know absolutely NOTHING about pregnancy except the basic stuff that everyone knows. anyway i hope you enjoyed this as much as i did writing it!! reblogs and feedback is greatly appreciated <3 feel free to send in requests!!

the minute you found out you were pregnant you couldn’t wait to tell your husbands knowing how happy they would be from countless amounts of times they told you they had wanted to have kids especially with you.

after a romantic dinner that wanda and nat had  thoroughly helped you plan you had come back home to the compound eager for your boys to find out the surprise.

as you walked into the living room wanda and nat were sitting their talking

“ah your back! so how was the date!” wanda said when she noticed your presence

“it was great! we’re gonna call it a night. we’ll see you ladies in the morning.” steve said as he grabbed three water bottles from the fridge and waved to the girls

“good to hear! good night..” nat said winking at you when the boys had turned their backs to them confirming it was all set

“god my feet are killing me!” you said as you took your shoes off and continued walking down the hall to your bedroom

“yeah? change out of that dress and me and stevie will run you a bath alright doll?” bucky said placing his hand on your back as steve was twisting the handle on the door

“okay buck” you said smiling knowing that probably wasn’t going to happen

as steve flicked the light switch on his foot steps came to a halt causing bucky to bump into him

“hey wh-” bucky said before realizing why steve had stopped

their was a bunch of blue and pink balloons scattered around the room, two pregnancies tests lying on the bed with a poster board that said ‘barnes-rogers baby coming soon…’ on it

as the boys turned back to look at you to confirm if what they were seeing was a dream or not it was immediately confirmed when they saw the wide smile on your face

“suprise!!”

after neither of them said anything for a minute or two you turned to walk in front of them

“hey is something wrong?” you said as your mind was racing with scenarios in which they weren’t happy that you were pregnant

as you were about to say something else both boys wrapped their arms around you and you swore you’d never felt more safe

“nothings wrong sweetheart nothing at all. it’s just we’ve dreamed of this day for so long and we can’t believe it’s actually happening.” bucky said as you felt a warm tear hit your face from his

“we love you doll so so much, and we can’t wait to raise a baby with you.”

“yeah?” you said pulling away from the hug to look at them with red noses and tear stained eyes

“yeah” they said in sync just admiring you

it didn’t last long until you were all attacking eachother like hungry animals

the next morning you woke up with two super soldiers on top of you one with his hand on your stomach and one with his hand on your boob

you couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight

as you tried slipping from beneath them to start to get ready you were stopped when weight was pressed on too you and multiple pleas were heard

“doll where are you going? it’s too early stay in bed” steve said as he nuzzled his head into your neck

“stevie we have to get ready.” you said stroking his hair through your fingers still a knotted mess from last night

“ready for what?”he said as you felt his eyebrows knit against your neck

“i have a ultrasound appointment scheduled for today.” you said knowing that would wake the both of them up

and it did like two children on christmas morning

“i’ve got breakfast!” bucky said as he kissed you on the cheek and slipped on some joggers to exit the room

“i’ll start getting ready.” steve said as he ran to the bathroom leaving you their giddy at the idea of your boys being this excited for your tiny human that wasn’t even born yet. imagining what they’d be like when it was born.

it took about two hours for you all to be ready and out of the house with a few arguments on why you shouldn’t drive and they should you ended up winning because they had no idea where the doctors office you went to was.

after about a 20 minute drive you had arrived at the doctors office checking in you all sat in the waiting room until your name was called. as you watched bucky and steve’s face all you could see was nervousness in their eyes as they looked around at all the pregnant moms and how different they all looked. some were earlier on in their trimester some were at the very end.

“you okay?” you asked them placing a hand on each of their knees

“hm yeah yeah we’re good! doing fine doll.” bucky said steve nodding in agreement

“alright we’ll their about to call my name so i wanna make sure your alright to head in their…” you said with a grin on your face

“we’re fine just a little nervous!”steve said kissing your cheek

after 5 minutes had past of you and the boys talking about baby names and you repeatedly telling them the baby would not be named ‘buckeve’ which was a name they had made up between a combination of their names your name had finally been called

“y/n?”

in usion your heads all turned to the voice and stood up

“it’s nice to see you all! please follow me!” the nurse said

you followed her to the room and listens to the instructions she gave you

“okay so your doctor is with any other patient right now but he should be too much longer so what i’m gonna have you do is sit tight for a few minutes and he’ll come in and set you up okay?”

with a nod of your head and a smile the nurse left telling all you have to enjoy the rest of your day and that she hopes everything goes well.

a knock on the door had halted your conversation with the boys

“come in!” you said

“we’ll hello y/n! how are you doing?” the doctor with the gray hair and winkled face said as he smiled at you

“hi! i’m doing well thank you! these are my husbands james and steve!” you said motioning to the men on the right of you as they waved

“ah well it’s nice to meet you! are you excited to see your baby for the first time?” he said as he started setting up his equipment

“yes very excited! a little nervous though.” steve said placing his hand on the back of your beck a gesture he would do that made you feel protected

“oh well i promise there’s nothing to be nervous about! everything will be just fine. now y/n can you pull your shirt up so i can place this cream on your stomach?” he said

“yeah of course!” you said lifting your shirt

“alright this is gonna be a litte cold just wanna warn you!” he said as he went to place the cream on your stomach

“oh yeah that’s cold!” you said as he placed the cream all over your stomach

“sorry about that! alright let me get this all set up so we can see your baby!” he said grabbing the wand part of the ultrasound machine

as the doctor got the machine working he explained to you what he was gonna be doing so you could somewhat understand what was going on.

“alright let’s see here! welp that’s your baby their on the screen! your very early on so it’s only the size of maybe a pea now but it’ll definitely grow quickly!” he said as tears filled your eyes and the boys both stared at the screen in awe

“hang on a minute..” the doctor said immediately wiping the look of joy on your face and replacing it with worry

“is something wrong sir?” bucky asked concerned

“no no nothings wrong! i just think i might’ve made a miscalculation that’s all.” he said giving any context

“and that miscalculation would be….” you said impatient

“looks like your having twins! congrats!!” he said with a massive smile on his face showing off his perfectly straight and white teeth

“twins??” bucky said in disbelief while you still couldn’t speak in utter shock and feeling like the happiest woman in the world

“oh my god…we’re gonna have twins!!” you said looking back at bucky and steve as the realization hit you.

“i’ll get these printed out and give you guys a bit of privacy. congratulations you three! these kids are so lucky to have you all.” he said as he walked out

you all sat their in shock and pure joy for what seemed to be forever before a noise was finally heard

you turned back to see bucky trying to wipe the tears falling from his eyes

“oh buck c’mere!” you said with open arms

“i’m sorry doll i’m just so happy. i never in my life would’ve thought anything like this would happen to me. this is the happiest day of my life! you both make me so happy! i just love you so much doll so so much.” he said sobbing into your neck

“i love you more bucky. i’m so proud of you.” you said rubbing his back as you mouthed ‘i’m proud of you too stevie’ to steve and he smiled knowing without you even having to tell him

as the day went on all the boys could talk about was your babies. what their names would be,their genders,how you would dress them,what their nursery would look like, just basically anything and everything.

you just admired the pure admiration on the boys faces as they talked about your children and you couldn’t believe how lucky you were.

[a-second-chance-su-au]

Final Post.

You read the title. I won't be continuing A Second Chance anymore. Below the cut, I explain what the plot was gonna be.

I plan on stepping away from SU as a whole now. The only thing I want to finish is Half a Puppet, which you can read on AO3. ((This is absolutely my. best work, I am super proud of it. Pearl's chapter is my magnum opus at the moment. If anything, please go read that lol.))

Thank you everyone for supporting the blog. This was fun, and it got me though COVID and a lot of 2021. I love you all a lot.

I am still active on Tumblr. I am hyperfixated on Cuphead right now, and run the @cuphead-contract-au blog. I am also working on an original project I eventually want to make into a real animated TV show called Follychromatic. You can follow my journey there. @follychromatic.

Thank you all for everything.

Basically, her thing with Connie was because Rose and Greg had been the same right before Greg made Rose go away. She doesn't want the same to happen to Steven.

Pink yelled at her and banished her. This is why she hates Pink, but loves Rose. She joined the rebellion because of that. Reread the intro bit, Rose knew what she had to do.

Spinel would learn to grow more mature and compassionate about the people around her. She would learn what a healthy relationship looks like and strive to have that with everyone. She makes up with Connie, and they become good friends.

In Future, she winds up teaching the gems how to play games. Her sole episode would be about trying to get Steven to relax, similar to Snow Day but not a replacement. It would happen closer to Mr Universe, maybe before the trip but after Steven realizes he has trauma. She'd see how down he is and try to take his mind off of things, which we realize does not work.

Stop there if you would like. Below is a long, long, LONG post, full of the ENTIRE timeline all the up through Season 4. This is copy+pasted from the google doc I had, and incomplete.

...

The full, uncut timeline, following Spinel on her journey! Everything from just single scenes in already-existent episodes all the way to fresh, new content, in chronological order, with all the important stuff, including notes on important visuals and metaphors/symbolism! Timeline starts when Spinel is first created.

17,000 Years Ago

Spinel emerges from her kindergarten.

It was on the planet above the Garden, with the large heart-shaped hole in it

She emerged as her Homeworld-designed self, and immediately recognized Pink and hugged her. Volleyball was present for it.

Pink managed to sneak Volleyball to a couple of playtimes between her and Spinel. The trio was happy, but Spinel never paid much attention to the pearl.

8,000 Years Ago

Volley’s eye cracks.

Pink had been throwing a tantrum at the time and her scream hurt her eye physically

Pink didn’t know about her healing powers before this point, so had no way of fixing it.

She rushed to the other Diamonds, asking if they knew a way to heal her

The Diamonds take Volley away and Pink swears to get better.

Instead of helping, the Diamonds saw that, despite the fact that they GAVE PINK A FRIEND, she still saw her Pearl as one and took her away

This was the moment Pink swore she wouldn’t throw a tantrum again (but note: growth isn’t linear, and yes, she DOES throw a few more first, but that’s later).

A rift is drawn between her and Spinel

Pink likes being equal to others around her, and that was the relationship she had with Volleyball. They were equals in friendship.

That was the only relationship she had like that, so when Volley got taken away, it devastated her

Spinel was created for the sole purpose of serving Pink Diamond, and her friendship is one-way to the point that she doesn’t want Pink to be on equal ground with her. She’s perfectly fine being beneath her, which Pink is highly uncomfortable with.

This is when she started getting annoyed with Spinel, and mostly started going to her to get away from the palace instead of just to play.

Pink starts becoming more mature.

In her quest to A) stop being childish, and thus B) get a colony, Pink knew she needed to grow up. So she began acting more like Yellow and Blue wanted her to.

She wasn’t happy, however, and came to the garden to let loose. She could be as childish as she wanted there.

7,500 Years Ago

Pink is gifted our Pearl

However, she is still throwing tantrums, and at one point, she hurts Pearl during one, causing her to get rejuvenated. Not gonna keep making you Pearls just to get them taken away, Pink. 

This causes Pink to never want to use that blasted devise again. She wasn’t aware that it completely reset a gem, just that it erased certain behaviors and memories.

Our Pearl is programmed for no funny business, creating another one-sided relationship that Pink doesn’t want any part of. 

Spinel and Pearl met only a few times before the thing happens, but enough that Pearl knows who she is and can remember her later.

6,000 Years Ago (000)

Spinel is left in the Garden

It’s finally paying off. The Diamonds see Pink as one of them (only took 2,000 years, haha!). She’s given Earth as a colony.

However, because the Garden is her place to let loose, she gets extremely annoyed at Spinel for jumping around her like she does. She’s worried they might take her colony away again.

She didn’t mean to forget about her. The way she was always punished was that she was locked in the tower. How is this any different? 

Spinel is NOT going to mess this up for her.

Pink comes to Earth

Colonization begins in the Prime Kindergarten

5,850 years ago: (150)

The Amethysts emerge

Pink goes down to Earth with Pearl

They keep sneaking off for about two months before Pink really realizes what it’s doing to the planet

Pink starts trying to persuade the Diamonds to leave the planet alone.

At first, they don’t take her seriously, but when she keeps asking, they start to get annoyed with her. They threaten that this is her colony, she wants it, so if she ever wants to have another, she is to shut it.

Blue is much harsher during this time, and Yellow is a bit softer. Just a tiny bit, though. (Grief changes the both of them)

Coral and Amber approach Spinel and ask her if she wants to play with them. She says no, that she’s already playing with Pink. They insist, having seen that Pink probably isn’t coming back any time soon, but again, Spinel says that Pink wants her to stay still. So that’s what she’s gonna do. The duo retreat into maintaining the garden, but their own worry starts to make the garden run rampant.

5,825 years ago (175)

Blue starts the human zoo

Pink tries to show her life and say that she wants to preserve it. 

Blue just kinda rolls her eyes and goes “okay fine” and the zoo is built.

5,800 years ago: (200)

Pink gives up trying to persuade them

Though not entirely, as she does bring it up sometimes.

The Gem War begins

Pink starts leading a double life

5,750 years ago: (250)

Garnet meets Rose and Pearl

Pink starts fighting for gems

Now recruits newly-emerged gems into her army

Rose starts spreading her message

Pink starts to become more isolated, starting rumors about herself

5,650 years ago: (350)

Beta Kindergarten gems are commissioned per Yellow’s request

Rose’s army is now a genuine threat

Homeworld gems start to hear her message and switch, or fear her, depending on what they hear

5,600 years ago: (400)

Coral and Amber try again to get Spinel to move, but she insists that she’s okay where she is.

5,500 years ago (500)

Jasper and the other Betas emerge

There is a massive battle at the Beta Kindergarten as Jasper starts her path of destruction

Word of it gets to Rose, but she’s too late to get there. Jasper took out almost all the Crystal Gems stationed at the Beta Kindergarten.

5,400 years ago: (600)

Eyeball arrives on the battlefield with seven other Rubies, responsible for aiding Pink Diamond as extra muscle around her area

Pink likes to keep her Rubies as far from her as possible, just from the discomfort they bring (and because they make it hard for her to sneak off)

5,375 years ago (625)

Rose and Pearl come across a human child all alone

This reminds Rose of Spinel

She gets her and brings her to Earth

Spinel stood in the garden for about 625 years

Coral and Amber are left behind without a second thought

Two years later, Pink banishes her

Spinel becomes a Crystal Gem

5,300 years ago (700)

The whole thing with Bismuth goes down

Rose doesn’t have Lion by this time, so she stores the bubble away in Bismuth’s forge instead

Spinel is devastated, but not enough to poof herself.

She knew Bismuth for about 75 years.

5,250 years ago (750)

Spinel and Eyeball meet on the battlefield, though nothing too interesting happens. Eyeball gets her pinned at one point, which is really hard to do, but it ultimately ends in a draw

5,200 years ago (800)

Spinel meets Jasper on the battlefield, resulting in a showdown. Spinel is terrified of Jasper’s power and strength, and runs from her. There’s a chase as she and some of her close friends flee. 

She makes a huge choice and decides that they can’t run forever, and to save her friends, she turns to face Jasper herself.

The two fight, with Spinel actually doing okay, but she winds up getting poofed

She would have been shattered, but 7TH and 7TP rush in. One throws her gem to the bushes while they fight, resulting in getting poofed. Jasper decides to keep them for information, and can’t find Spinel’s gem.

Spinel reforms and rushes off to the CG base in tears, only to learn that her friends sacrificed themselves to save her.

She swears that she will get them back, and she and Jasper shall meet again.

5,150 years ago (850)

Pink “shatters”

Spinel feels grief even though she knows well that Pink abused her. Pearl has a talk with her about the whole thing, and Spinel feels better, knowing there’s someone else who misses her too. (BUT REMEMEBER THE GAG ORDER)

Immediately, the Homeworld gems start a plan to shatter every Crystal Gem, with new intel from a rebel on a potential place their base may be.

A huge battle takes place, drawing all gems on Earth to it 

Yellow comes down in a ship and starts work on the Cluster, heading to the Prime Kindergarten to issue the experiments immediately, while there are no witnesses

Blue follows her, and the two have a confrontation with each other

Yellow wins the argument, and Blue reluctantly agrees, leaving in her ship after grabbing a few more humans for the zoo (to remember her by)

The Crystal Gems are victorious 

5,100 years ago (900)

The Cluster’s plantation is completed

Amethyst emerges

1975

Greg is born

1997

Greg meets Rose Quartz (22 years old)

2001

Steven is born

Rose “dies”

This is the event that drives a rift between Spinel and Amethyst. Spinel was greedy for all of Rose’s attention there at the end, but her respect for Pearl and for Garnet as leader allowed them to get close to her. However, she literally pushed Amethyst away during that time, and because of that, Amethyst’s time with Rose was reduced from what it could have been. From then on, Amethyst holds a grudge against Spinel, and she retaliates since trying to make it up to the little Quartz failed.

2009

Steven (8) moves in with the gems

August 15, 2013

Steven turns 12 years old, the age he is at the start of the show

SEASON 1

Spinel’s arc starts in “Bubble Buddies,” in which Spinel is jealous of Connie

Man of the Mountain

Spinel feels she and Steven are drifting apart, and decides to try and get close to him again. They play in her room in the Temple, sending Steven off on a quest as a knight (which can be played on when Connie steps into that role irl). During it, things go too far and she has to rescue Steven. They had fun, though, and he confirms for her that they’re still close.

Giant Woman

Not worthy to make an entire ep out of, but basically, Spinel CAN go with Garnet to get the Earth Beetle. Spinel can swim in lava, just not for as long as Garnet can. She’s meant to be backup.

So Close

After “Giant Woman,” Steven stages another adventure to try and get Amethyst and Spinel to fuse, too, just like what happened with Pearl and Amethyst, but spoiler alert, it doesn’t happen. Instead, we learn that their arguments started when Steven was born, which kinda begins his self-blame and awareness of his family’s tensions even more so than “Giant Woman,” wherein he was mostly focused on himself rather than his family getting along. “Emotional hell” episode.

Steven the Sword-Fighter

Spinel grabs Pearl’s gem before it hits the ground with her elastic abilities, and basically stands vigil by it while waiting for her to reform. She sasses Holo-Pearl, insulting her, and in this scenario, Spinel is the one to accidentally start a fight with the thing. Steven, not wanting another family member to get hurt because of it, tries to help out and ultimately defeats the hologram. Spinel remained by Pearl’s gem the whole time, though attacked from a distance. Once Pearl reforms, Spinel hugs her and doesn’t stop until sometime after the star has crossed the screen and ended the episode.

This Just In

Just a fun one. :)

Parody of Scooby-Doo! Spinel starts narrating everything and breaking the fourth wall while she does it, too, creating drama (and giving a reason for the title to be just that).

Mirror Gem

Spinel walks in on Steven setting up a school and gawks, asking why he would want to do that? She went to school back in the 1930’s and it was terrible. When Pearl suggests the mirror, Spinel is just as in awe of it as Steven, showing that she doesn’t know what it is. She is with the two of them all day, and is delighted to find a friend in the “defective” mirror. When Steven wants to tell the gems, Spinel insists that it’s a bad idea, but poor Season 1 Steven doesn’t pick up on her nervousness and tells them anyway. As things tense, Spinel runs to Pearl, trying to tell her that it’s okay, the mirror isn’t a threat, but all this does is separate her from Steven when Garnet tries to take the mirror from him. He runs out alone, and all the gems run out to try and find him. Same plays out as he sets Lapis free. She then yells at the OG3 for knowing she was in there, but not letting her go. She offers Steven and Spinel to go “home” with her, which Spinel knows what she means and refuses. She offers instead to have Lapis stay on Earth, where they’re safe from Homeworld’s cruelty. Lapis refuses, tells them both not to trust the OG3, and walks into the ocean. Spinel is hurt that they didn’t mention Lapis to her, but doesn’t say anything (for fear of what happened between her and Pink).

Secret Team

As Steven, Pearl, and Amethyst run around the Temple fixing their mistakes, Steven stumbles across Spinel. She asks what he’s doing, to which Steven responds “nothing!” and keeps searching. Spins is suspicious, but again, says nothing. She hears Garnet’s speech at the end, though, and realizes that they were keeping secrets from her again.

Left Behind

Spinel calls everyone together, and says she knows everyone is keeping stuff from her. She inquires what that might be, and when no one speaks up, decides to create her own. She enlists Steven’s help, and together, they start creating secrets to keep from the gems. It escalates until it’s just Amethyst, though (as Garnet has future vision and Spinel just can’t do that to Pearl), and Amethyst is aware of it. She calls Spinel out, the others telling her that she has to stop, and she confesses that she feels betrayed because of the whole Lapis thing, then the Secret Team thing. Garnet tells her in her most gentle voice that Spinel couldn’t handle that kind of information, to which Spinel realizes that they don’t trust her. She runs off. Garnet tells Steven she’ll bounce back and get over it, but he follows her anyway. He finds her, just in time to hear her sing about feeling left out in the group. He walks up to her and tells her he feels the same way, and that if she wants to be with them, she’s just gotta try harder. That’s what he does. Spinel agrees, and the ep ends on a bittersweet note.

Fusion Cuisine

Zoisite is teased, as when Steven tries to bring his whole family, that means Spinel too, but because of Amethyst’s and Spinel’s tense relationship, the fusion fails. Instead, she’s left behind again (as Connie mentioned nothing about a sister…), and Alexandrite goes instead. Then it plays out the same way.

Warp Tour

In a bout of pure betrayal Spinel ultimately sides with the Gems instead of Steven, singling him out from the group. She agrees Steven is being silly. However, she stays with him as he stays up, trying to get him to take his mind off stuff. He refuses, and she gives up, heading back into the Temple. If he wants to play, he’s welcome to. Just give a knock. Then it plays out the same way.

The Test

Spinel’s room features a few funky, funny, not-quite booby traps. A cage comes down and nearly traps him (though like the spikes in Garnet’s room, would stop before it actually hit or trapped him), he has to jump around on a few platforms out of the reach of what looks like octopus tentacles, and then he lands in a ball pit after jumping off the platform. Finally, it’s a riddle to guess which door was correct, to which there are three doors, meaning three answers. Each door leads out, but Spinel makes it seem like there’s a pitfall trap in front of each to make it matter. Steven gets the answer right (the answer being a rabbit), and moves on to Garnet’s room. During the gem’s talk, Spinel insists that giving him an actual win would be a lot better, but Pearl states instead that this would work the same way. As long as he can do this, it’ll raise his confidence. Spinel agrees with Amethyst’s assessment of “we’re bad at this,” and the conversation goes the same way, as does the episode.

The Mountain Spire

After the episode “Horror Club,” Garnet discovers that due to two simultaneously occurring “earthquakes,” two Gem structures are bound to collapse. She and Amethyst take one, Pearl and Spinel take the other. Steven insists on coming along, and Garnet allows it. While walking, we see bird and rabbit imagery, as Steven goes on about how the last two times they were on an adventure like this, Opal happened! The other time, though, Amethyst and Spinel fought. But if Opal happened, then there was a chance something could happen this time, too, right? They arrive at a tall structure with pieces falling collapsing more by the second; the Mountain Spire. They have to replace to Sun Goddess statue, which was already up there. Steven’s now getting some flashbacks to a different adventure he was on, and now is determined to make sure he doesn’t mess this one up, too! Not a second time! 

Spinel repeatedly runs ahead, appearing to be playing, when in actuality, she’s clearing the coast for Steven and Pearl. She constantly looks for Pearl’s approval. Pearl gets progressively more annoyed. Finally, she confronts Spinel about her behavior, stating that she doesn’t like the clinginess she’s been showing. It looks like it’ll escalate, but Spinel doesn’t try to argue with Pearl at all. She admits that she’s attached to her, maybe more than she should be, but that’s because she respects her. When Spinel was lost, who picked her up and showed her a home with the Crystal Gems? Pearl. She had always believed in Spinel, and Spinel just feels good being around her and being there for her. Pearl says she had no idea, and admits that she maybe has been a bit harsh on her lately, and they both come to peaceful understanding without Steven’s help. (Note: Spinel and Pearl are both lesser gems, and they can connect using that, too. Try to hint at that if possible.)

Climax: the statue has fallen, and the top of the spire is collapsing. The statue is about to fall through the floor (with many many many holes in it), and Spinel can’t reach that far without getting a bit wobbly, so she doesn’t want to risk reaching for it and causing it to fall. They need to be more careful. Spinel and Pearl fuse into Lepidolite. She is agile, stretchy, careful, and self-sacrificial to a fault. She leaps in, bouncing across the room and grabbing the statue before anything can happen to it. Then, the ground shakes again and the floor beneath Steven caves, causing him to fall. She catches him, but only just. She is stretched too far now (as her stretchiness isn’t as much as Spins on her own), and has to make a choice. A vacuum just like the one around the Sea Spire sucks Steven down, making her lose her grip on him, and she makes the decision to go for him rather than the building. She pulls, tossing him up and onto safe land, then falls. She tosses the statue back up to him, and he has to put it back. Once he has, the spire fixes itself, and Lepidolite is saved. She brings Steven down to her level (since they’re going down now), and jokes about the place being a fixer-upper, before unfusing. The three gems head back, mission successful. 

Garnet and Amethyst were also able to fix their building, but their victory is short lived as Steven starts gushing about the fusion he saw. Pearl and Spinel smile at each other. Together, they are pretty great, huh?

Frienemies

After “Maximum Capacity.” Another episode to progress Spinel’s relationships with Connie and Amethyst. Connie comes over for the day, and Spinel insists that she hang out with them, too. Everything Connie does is “wrong,” and she leaves in a huff. When Steven offers to play video games with Spinel and Amethyst, the two start bickering with each other. A few days later, Connie comes back over and Steven tries to push Spinel away, but the gem refuses to leave the two alone. Connie confronts her, asking what he problem is. Connie has never done anything to Spinel before, right? We find out that Spinel has made it her mission to be Steven’s best friend, since that was Rose’s final request of her before she died, and both Amethyst and Connie are “getting in the way.” Connie sees through it and notes Spinel’s jealousy, insisting that he is still his own person, too. Spinel tries to retaliate, but Steven stands up for himself, saying anyone can be his friend and Spinel cannot decide that for him. If he’s Spinel’s best friend, cool, but he’s allowed to hang out with other people, too! Spinel is shocked into silence for a moment. All three others come to comfort her, empathizing about wanting a friend (Connie) and missing Rose (Amethyst). When Connie leaves, Spinel gives her an apology and asks if they’re on stable ground. Connie doesn’t know, but it’s a start. She leaves. Spinel smiles and hugs Steven, insisting she’ll try to do better.

The Return

Jasper and Spinel recognise each other. Spinel shakes with rage. Jasper says she’d be interested in taking Spins on again, just for the challenge, but Garnet jumps in before Spinel can answer, demanding Jasper leave this planet. Things mostly play out the same, except when Garnet gets poofed, Spinel acts immediately. She creates the illusion of a battlefield, masking her approach as she attacks from behind. Jasper, however, expects this, and catches her, throwing her into Pearl and Amethyst as they run closer. Jasper then grabs Steven and knocks him out, ending the episode. Jailbreak plays out the same way.

SEASON 2

Crossover Calamity

This would replace the Uncle Grandpa episode! It’s a goofy, non-canon ep in which Spinel and Amethyst visit different SU AUs together, all while fighting.

Starts off with Spinel raiding Amethyst’s room for her timepiece, since she got to keep it in “Steven and the Stevens”. She needs it for a game she’s playing. Amethyst catches her and the two fight over it. It winds up transporting them across dimensions instead of though time, and they wind up in a Steven Universe x Undertale crossover. They meet Steven and Frisk, and when Steven wonders what Amethyst is doing here and doesn’t recognise Spinel, it’s clear they’re not in the same timeline. They have to work together to get back, since the timepiece is cracked. 

Next, they visit Bendy and the Ink Machine (since there is officially a crossover with that one now). They walk in on Bendy singing “Welcome Home”, and get attacked by the Ink Demon. They teleport away right as he’s about to catch them, transporting to an equally dangerous situation in a different AU. They run, going through a few more AUs until they wind up in canon SU, during “Other Friends.” They watch Spinel poof the gems, then leave, traumatized. 

They end up in front of the Spinel House, where Spinel is instantly drawn to. Henry Stickmin reference! Her options are: Knock, Amethyst, Break In, Remove Layer, or Request Entry.

Knock: Is the correct answer. Spinel knocks on the door and is let in

Amethyst: Reference to Charles! Ames runs off-screen, shapeshifts into a helicopter, and crashes into the building. Fail line: Amethyst, flying in! :D    ...You were expecting this, weren’t you?

Break In: Amethyst and Spinel concoct an elaborate plan to break in. It goes successfully, until they land in the middle of the room from crawling through the vents. The Spinels think they’re getting robbed and attack. Fail line: Everyone knows gravity only exists in cartoons when it’s least convenient, c’mon now.

Remove Layer: Animation/drawing joke. A tab is brought up showing all the layers in Ibis Paint, and the layer with the House is turned off. The spinels all stare at Star, and it end in a fail just like that. Fail line: You were supposed to get INTO the house, not make it disappear completely!

Request Entry: Meta joke! I suddenly show up out of nowhere and get pushed into the building to meet the directors and request that Spinel get added to the house. But my social anxiety to talk to them ruins this and I walk back out. Fail line: This is why people typically approach me first.

Back to business. Once Spinel has knocked and is let in, she meets the Spinels! It’s Spinel Hell for Amethyst, and she wants to get out of there as fast as possible. Joke about how the House is a place for Spinels to get away from the cruelty of their actual AU existence, and then ask if Star wants to join. She says no. Spinel asks if it’s possible to repair the timepiece, to which Rejuvenated or Spinny just slaps some duct tape on it and calls it good, sending Star!Spinel and Amethyst back on their way. It works, and they end up back on the beach. Spinel thanks the stars that’s over, and starts to walk off with the timepiece, ready to continue her game. But then Amethyst fights her for it, and they start crashing through several AUs, probably at dramatic/important parts and completely interrupting everything. Their final stand would be in either SU canon or breaking the fourth wall entirely and they exist on Tumblr or other social media accounts. They have a talk while fighting/playing keep-away, and reconcile. They teleport one final time and end back up on the beach. Amethyst decides it’s whatever and lets Spinel play with it, but she gives it back, claiming to not want it anymore. The two wind up dumping it in the ocean.

And that is why Spinel looks like a wreck. She smiles proudly at Steven as she finishes telling her story. He believes her until Garnet warps back in, asking her how training with Amethyst went after Ames threw her in the sea with her whip. Spinel groans, insisting Garnet ruined the mood. But then we go into the ocean, only to see that the dimension piece is actually there, at the bottom of the sea…

Optional: Spinel pulls a Genie and pulls up the bottom of the page, saying “Made you look!” Then the credits would roll with all the AUs present/used in the story.

AUs: SU x UT, SU x BATIM, HTTYM, I Am My Diamond, SU-Revived, The Spinel House, lab-raised-steven, White Diamond Steven AU, (maybe Gone Wrong? But make it more like a joke than anything serious,) Starhair!Spinel, being-monster-au, su-rogue, restore-the-universe, CHITSU, irl, silent films, SU x GF, SU x TOH, that one gif of Spinel doing the Distraction Dance, Perfect Steven, SU Rewritten, Spinel Goes to Homeworld (“I can’t believe I’m talkin’ ta my reflection-“), Corrupted Spinel, SU x Epic Mickey, plus any and all 

M E M E S. Also, potentially foreshadow as much as you want.

wow that was a lot lmao

Sworn to the Sword

Spinel teases Connie about wanting to train, but in a more light-hearted way that before. She is serious as she tries to warn Connie about Pearl’s teachings, insisting that Pearl could go extreme sometimes, but Connie ignores her, insisting it’ll be okay. The rest of the episode plays out the same, except when Spinel finds out Connie fell for Connie’s teachings, she remarks that she tried to tell her, earning her a glare from Steven. “Just sayin’,” she says, shrugging, but her concern is evident. Rest of the ep is the same.

We Need to Talk

Spinel was doing the filming on the tape Greg and the band was recording, and her cinematography (due to her stretchy limbs) is amazing. She gets along with Greg very well, and thinks he and Rose are cute together. She does join Pearl in teasing him, but her teasing is much more light-hearted than Pearl’s salty, “you’re just a phase” teasing. She is Rose’s best friend, and she doesn’t think Greg can change that. At the end of the episode, though, she is fearful that she was wrong, and Rose and Greg might be closer than any of the other gems to her. She and Pearl share a fearful glance.

Time and Place

The gems are on a mission to recover an object somewhere inside a volcano. Spinel goofs off with Steven, and Garnet commands them to stop. This place is dangerous. Steven stops, but Spinel persists, continuing to make faces and perform silly stunts to try and get him to smile. She does a dramatic flip into a stalactite, bouncing off of it and landing in front of Steven with a “tadaa!” The stalactite cracks and falls, blocking the corruption they’re trying to get to away and nearly getting everyone else hurt or poofed. Spinel herself falls into the lava, but climbs back out perfectly fine. Garnet benches her, insisting that she be more responsible and serious, comparing her to Steven and driving a rift between them unintentionally. Afterwards, Spinel tries to show responsibility as things run awry in the house- the house gets messy and she cleans it, the fridge stops running and she plugs it in, the heater was working in overdrive so she shuts it off. It comes to a climax as a corrupted gem, the same one they were after in the volcano, suddenly warps into the house and wreaks havoc. It’s revealed she caused everything, and after the gem is dealt with, Spinel apologizes, saying that hey, at least she dug the guy out of the rock fall! Garnet doesn’t unbench her, though, and insists that she needs to show real responsibility and start taking things seriously. Steven comes over to comfort her, saying that there is a time and a place for this kind of behavior, and the volcano wasn’t it. She nods, accepting that. 

Chille Tid

Spinel is still benched, and so was waiting for everyone at the beach house. She stays behind for the slumber party, though Amethyst and Steven have to team up to make sure she doesn’t go in the Temple. This is because, when Spinel starts dreaming, her illusion powers kick in and she starts showing what she’s dreaming. Tonight, she dreams of playing with Rose and Steven both inside her garden (foreshadowing the Rose/Pink reveal). This provides a bit of backstory for her, too. She’s awoken as Rose wilts away like an actual rose, and Steven vanishes. Her feet are wrapped in roots, and she sits up quickly only to see that the others had been watching.

She’s ecstatic to learn that Lapis is okay.

Amends

The gems leave for a mission, but Steven stays behind with the still-benched Spinel. He plans a full day of fun for the two of them! Later, they bump into Greg, who is just off of another hard day of work at the car wash, being kept on his toes recently. To relax, they decide to jam out together. At one point, Steven would ask how often Rose joined him (knowing that she’s sung with him at least once) and what she played. Greg responds, saying that she would play and sing with him often. Spinel interjects, commenting that the more she hung out with him, the less she was there for everyone else, and the more lonely Spinel got. She realizes she said that out loud, and dives head-first into apologies, throwing back to some of the things she said in Man of the Mountain (“don’t hate me” and “It won’t happen again” etc). Both Greg and Steven calm her down and ask what brought that on. We now find out that Spinel was abandoned a LOT in the past, but with the CGs, she felt better, but then Greg came along and she started feeling that way again. She hates being alone. She likes him, though, so she never said anything. She tries so hard not to blame Greg- he didn’t know. She never told him, or anyone, since that wasn’t a very nice thing to do and friends are nice to their friends (she’s actually scared of being screamed at like with what happened with Pink). Please don’t hate her? Greg insists that no, he doesn’t, and that he’s sorry he didn’t realize. She’s sorry, too. Steven speaks up, stating that it was really brave of Spinel to tell them that, and to overcome her fear of them thinking less of her or something. He’s proud of her. She smiles at that. 

The next day, Greg wakes up late (like, it’s NOON levels of late). He rushes outside to see Spinel doing his job for him at the car wash, and doing it quite well! Steven is there helping her. When asked what’s going on, Spinel states that she still felt bad for what happened yesterday and wanted to do something nice for Greg, so she took over the car wash for the day! She turned off his alarm so he could get some rest, and has been doing a good lot of the washing. She also gave the van itself a wash, and cleaned all the brushes inside. Greg, in awe, thanks her a lot and gives her a hug. He makes an offhand comment about her showing initiative like that, and how that responsibility was something he never expected from her. Garnet agrees, walking up behind them. Upon seeing the maroon gem, Spinel apologizes again for the volcano incident, and promises to do better. Garnet, having seen that Spinel is capable of taking control and responsibility, unbenches her. Spinel doesn’t stop helping Greg, though, and at the end of the day, they all get ice cream together. Fin.

Too Far

Peridot doesn’t know what to make of Spinel, not having ever even heard of her before. We find out she’s one-of-a-kind, built to be a best friend! She likes to be friends with everyone! Peridot states that she and Amethyst don’t get along, causing the pink gem to blush and run off.

Too Close (NEW FORM)

Spinel now tries to be Amethyst’s Best Friend, along with LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE where she can! It gets toxic quickly, and she more or less becomes Amethyst’s more-annoying personal Pearl for the day. Peridot is quick to point this out. Amethyst confronts her about it, and they have one last fight before Spinel finally starts to learn that you don’t have to give your everything in order to be a good friend (and stop pampering them GEEZ). That’s unhealthy. It’s obsessive. It can smother people! She needs to find a better balance! Spinel states that if she doesn’t give everything, then she feels like she’s lacking on her end, that she isn’t doing enough. If she isn’t by her friend’s side all the time, who’s to say they won’t get mad at her, or leave her? Steven points out how exhausted Spinel has become while taking care of everyone so obsessively. Amethyst agrees, stating that she cannot run herself ragged trying to do everything all at once. She insists that she’s okay, that she can keep going. She was built to be a friend, and she’s been slacking on her end. She’s not gonna stop until everyone around her is happy! She’ll prove it! She then runs away to make the Best Day Ever for everyone, but Amethyst chases her down, now determined to make her see sense. She tackles the other gem, telling her that if she truly wanted to be someone’s friend, she needed to calm down, back off, and respect their wishes to have her leave people alone! Spinel poofs, mostly from exhaustion, but also because she’s getting Pink Diamond flashbacks. 

When she reforms, she walks up to Amethyst and apologizes. If being a friend means leaving people alone, then that was something she was going to have to work on. Being a friend isn’t gonna be easy, but she can try. Just let her know whenever they need her to leave? Amethyst says she’ll do so, and the two hug it out. While doing so, Spinel asks if they can start over, and try being friends again. Amethyst agrees, saying it’s worth a shot.

SEASON 3

Super Watermelon Island

With Spinel and Amethyst finally getting along, Zoisite can now be formed! The battle with Malachite still happens, but now featuring Spinel’s illusion powers and Lepidolite’s feather duster (for cartoony hyjinx). 

Barn Mates

At the end of the episode, Spinel is super happy to finally see Lapis again, but surprising everyone, she doesn’t leap into Lapis’ arms or anything. She instead extends a hand to shake.

Hit the Diamond

Spinel plays referee and pitcher. While doing the lineup, she announces that her name is Sarah, or would Sandy be better? She’s shushed. Later, there’s a throw-away line about how if the CGs don’t win this match, she, Sandy, is quitting. She knows what’s gonna happen and isn’t gonna stick around to witness it. Someone smacks her for breaking the fourth wall.

Too Short to Ride

Spinel stretches out without shapeshifting, which makes Peridot even more upset that she can’t do it. During the shapeshifting part, Spinel becomes a dog and a rabbit, playing a game of chase with Amethyst. 

Trapped

After “The New Lars”. The hunt for Jasper continues, but Spinel and Steven take a break to go visit Peridot and Lapis. Steven and Peri hang out for a while before realizing that Spinel and Lapis are gone. They go looking for them, discovering them atop the silo. They’re laughing. Spinel apologizes for the whole mirror thing, saying that she knows what it’s like to be trapped and abandoned for years, too. Lapis says that it wasn’t her fault, it was Homeworld’s. Spinel says she knows that feel, having been the playmate of her old owner before she got left behind like a broken toy. She insists that Lapis had it worse, though, since she was forced to stay in one spot whereas Spinel chose to stay there, forever… Lapis tells her not to compare what they went through. They’re both hurt, and they can connect over it. That’s what’s important, not who had it worse. Spinel gives her a side hug, saying that she’s really glad Lapis is here. Steven and Peri decide to give them some privacy and leave, the other pair being none the wiser they were ever there.

Days pass, and the hunt continues. Pearl asks Steven if he’s seen Spinel, to which he says no. Garnet states that they need to find her and she warps them to the barn. There, Spinel and Lapis are continuing to hang out. Pearl is the first to scold, demanding to know where Spinel has been when they’re trying to find Jasper? Peridot hears this and tries to get Pearl to stop talking, but she doesn’t. That rogue gem is only going to cause trouble! Spinel feels awful, starting to apologize, but Lapis cuts her off. She insists that Spinel is always being left behind anyway, and has to constantly wear a smile to keep morale up, which makes her feel trapped, but here, she doesn’t have to do that! She’s free! She doesn’t have to be anyone’s friend here. So back off and leave her alone! Steven asks timidly if that’s true, to which Spinel nods. 

She explains that she’s been trying to keep her distance, like Amethyst asked her to, but she feels like she isn’t being a good friend and is slacking off. That makes her stressed, because she knows her friends don’t want her around, so she kept coming here. She doesn’t have to be friends with Lapis or Peridot- that expectation was never there with them. She’s free to just relax here and get her mind off stuff. She didn’t mean to stay away for so long, but she thought no one wanted her there unless they had work for her to do. How can you be a friend if you stayed away? She had no idea, and it was so, so confusing. Spinel says that she was made to be a best friend to one person, and when that person sent her away, she felt lost. The same thing was happening again, and she didn’t know what to do. f

Lapis explains that she used to be a terriformer, shaping planets for her superiors forever and she wasn’t happy. But now, she feels much more free. Playing mediator, Steven builds on that, and explains that she shouldn’t have to feel like she needs to be friends with everyone. That’s an impossible task. If she needs to force it, then it isn’t friendship, and instead, is more just servitude. Lapis and Pearl both agree. Be friends with who you want. Who do you want to be friends with? Spinel thinks, hesitant to say her answer in fear she’ll make people angry, but everyone insists they won’t be. She says she wants to be friends with Steven, Amethyst, and Lapis for sure. She looks up to Pearl and Garnet, and they’re always gonna be family, and they can stay that way. For now. Everyone (sans Peri) hugs her, proud of her, before Peridot interrupts and announces that if she wants to be friends with Lapis, they’d have to fight over it. It looks like Spinel might fall back on old habits for a second before Peridot laughs, saying she was joking. There’s enough Lapis for both of them. Lapis, embarrassed, flies off. The ep ends as Spinel and Peridot look at each other in confusion, wondering what they said.

Together Again (formerly called “Camping”)

After “Restaurant Wars”. Spinel decides to take her friends camping! Lapis was “busy,” so it was just Amethyst and Steven with her. While out, they discover a corrupted gem, a quartz of some kind. She is a powerhouse and overruns everyone, then won’t leave them alone. The monster is big, and the group is in the mountains, so they slip into a small cave in the mountains where the beast can’t get them. As it walks away, Spinel sees the gem, located on its shoulder- it has a scratch in it. It’s 7TP. Her eyes flash in recognition, and she then tries to take it herself. She winds up pinned beneath the amethyst’s paw. She confesses that she knew the gem from the war, and it was one of her best friends. On the battlefield, the fight that occurred just before everyone was corrupted, 7TP got a scratch across her gem, not deep enough to count as a crack, but deep enough to be recognizable. They have to bubble her, quick! Steven and Amethyst get 7TP off Spinel and fighting ensues, but Spinel can’t bring herself to hurt her old friend now that she can put a face to the monster. Amethyst and Steven can’t take her alone, and at one point Amethyst is thrown down next to Spinel. The two agree that this isn’t working, and they fuse.

Lavender Alexite is a smaller, squishier version of Sugallite, now with 85% less visible muscle! Amethyst’s determination combines with Spinel’s frustration, and both of them together are able to bring the fusion down with their grappling hook-like weapon, tying her up and Lavender herself finishing the corruption off. Spinel bubbles her after Steven heals her, sending her off. Unprompted, she explains that when her old owner decided to get rid of her, 7TP was by her side. She’s been by Spinel’s side for so long. Refueled determination to heal corruption.

Note: Maybe mention 7TH at some point?

Monster Reunion

Spinel is shocked that the corruption could be healed as she was, but gives Steven space to be with Neph. At the end, she asks Steven if she could do that again, to which Garnet says no. 

Healing Haze

Spinel goes up to Steven in the middle of the night to wake him up. She tells him that Garnet and the rest of the Gems are out on a mission trying to find Jasper, and they think that she’s exploring the desert. She drags him into the Bubble Room, brings down 7TP, and unbubbled her. Steven, having had no say in this (and was half-asleep until just now), freaks out. As 7TP is reforming, Spinel tells him to heal her before she wrecks the place and they both get in trouble! He does, slapping on some healing spit, and 7TP half uncorrupts. Spinel cautiously approaches, asking if the gem remembers her. She shapeshifts back into her War design, to which the gem now recognizes her. Spinel starts calling her Violet. Violet starts to freak out, realizing she’s been corrupted, and rushes to look at her reflection. She’s shocked and dazed. Spinel calms her down enough to switch the topic over to Steven, gesturing for him to come on over. She introduces them to each other, and tells Violet that things will be okay now. However, just like with Nephrite, Violet eventually recorrupts. Spinel bubbles her again, then thanks Steven, giving him a crushing hug. 

The next night, she asks the same thing from him. Seeing Spinel so happy the previous night makes Steven more willing to let the gem out this time, though he still isn’t completely onboard. But, they have fun anyway, until Violet recorrupts again.

They do this again and again, with Steven’s unease growing more and more. This feels wrong, and he tells Connie as much on the phone. Connie tells him that he needs to get Spinel to stop. They bubble those gems for a reason- so they don’t suffer. By letting her out, having her back for a while, only to have her become a monster again, over and over and over… that can’t be good for poor 7TP. What if that has some kind of long-term effects? They need to stop. Besides, getting poofed so many times must hurt, even if Violet does just accept it when the time comes. Steven agrees, and when Spinel inevitably comes up to him the next night, he tells her all that. Spinel is devastated, and tells him to go back to sleep.

He wakes up to Spinel yelling. He looks over and sees 7TP running out of the Temple, fully corrupted, with Spinel tearing after her from behind, waving a cloth. Steven asks what in blazes she’s doing, to which she replies that she took some of his spit while he was sleeping and put it on this here very cloth and she put that on the gem and it didn’t work! She’s still corrupted! Steven gets understandably upset, and now the goal becomes catching Violet, and fast! 

They wind up bringing her in through music, with Spinel singing a lullaby to her (a nod to Blue Order). Steven can now heal her, but since she’s already formed, it doesn’t do anything. She’s aware enough to have a conversation with now that she’s calm, though (maybe?) and Spinel apologizes for everything. They poof and bubble her again, for good this time.

When the other gems get back in the morning, they ask what happened to the house. Spinel owns up to her mistakes, and accepts the fact that they’re gonna bench her again. Garnet tells her no- Spinel understood what she did was wrong and learned her lesson. 7TP will be better off in the bubble, for now. Spinel asks about, since Garnet has future vision, why didn’t she stop her from unbubbling Violet so many times? Garnet states simply that Spinel was going to learn her lesson, and this was the only way that she’d truly understand. Just words weren’t gonna work. 

Catching Up

After “Alone at Sea,” Spinel decides to do something fun with Lapis just like they did with Peridot. Shorty Squad Assemble, now featuring Spinel and Lapis! They decide to spend a day wherever Lapis wanted to be, which for now, was the barn. Understandable.

Next step, make Lapis a bootleg Funland! They all set up a bunch of fun activities around the barn, including a ring toss, a bean bag toss, a dance floor (with a radio), and water balloons! There’s also a game of baseball if people wanna play. 

It’s a cute ep that is filled with fluff until, after a while, Lapis keeps zoning out. Steven, Peri, and Spins all try to keep her distracted, but Amethyst is the one who eventually steps up and tells Lapis to just spit it out. Lapis explains that Jasper has been on her mind, and she appreciates what everyone is doing for her- it has truly been fun- but it’s not working. Everything that happened on the boat is fresh in her mind, and she honestly just wants to be alone while she processes everything. Sorry for being a downer. She flies back into the barn.

Spinel and Steven go after her, though Amethyst and Peridot agree it’s best to leave her alone. The two find her on the top floor, and inch closer. Spinel tells her that she shouldn’t be alone to think about this kind of thing- being alone sucks. They both should know that by now. Steven asks if she wants to talk about it. Lapis says no. She appreciates the sentiment, really, but she needs to figure things out alone. They don’t know what it’s like to battle Jasper constantly, how tiring being stuck with her is. Spinel pipes up, saying that although that’s true, she does know what it’s like to fight Jasper. It was 5,300 years ago. They met on the battlefield, and she nearly got shattered that day. She recounts the story. She never had someone to talk to about it, and she thought that she couldn’t, since she was supposed to be everyone’s friend, their relief. But that’s not how it works. Right? It goes both ways? So don’t be silent. 

Lapis says that she just doesn’t want to talk about it. There are things that happened down there that she doesn’t really want anyone to know about, and she wants to keep it down. Though, again, she really appreciates the sentiment. Steven and Spinel leave, then meet up with the guys down below.

They play baseball for a while, two on two, before someone hits the ball super far away. Lapis comes back with it, saying she’ll talk when she’s ready, but for now, let’s just have fun. Ends on a lighter note.

Bismuth

Spinel is almost as happy to see Bis as Pearl! Almost. Her weapon upgrade is a serrated blade. While sparring, Spinel turns on the illusion powers, then bounces around her like a ping pong ball. She attacks from behind, but Bismuth, expecting this, catches her. She shoves Spinel away, making room for Pearl to then come in! The rest is the same. Spinel clings to Pearl when Bis is bubbled away.

SEASON 4

Know Your Fusion

Garnet + Spinel fusion as well? Just for a moment? Pearl could take Sardonyx’s place while she’s gone. Spins would likely point out that she’s never fused with Garnet before, and since we’re meetin’ new fusions anyways, could it be cool to add one more to the roster?

Think more about the idea before declaring it canon. Don’t take away from characters, remember? This might not fit into 11 minutes, or maybe make it double length? Two parter? Think about it.

Return to Mask Island

After “Future Boy Zoltron”, Spinel tells Steven she’s convinced Lapis to hang out with them for a day! Steven decides to take the party to Mask Island, since it’s such a pretty place and would be good for unwinding. Lapis is nervous, since the last time she was here, she was Malachite. Whoops. Steven and Spinel both insist this will be good for her, since she wants to get over her past trauma of being fused with Jasper, and balancing some good memories into the mix of bad will do her some good! Amethyst agrees, so Lapis gives in. Steven tells her that fusion feels amazing, but only with the right people. They make camp, and montage of them having fun and unwinding. Show something slinking in the water.

Eventually, Steven breaks out the s’mores supplies. He and Amethyst really start talking, and they don’t really notice when Lapis and Spinel get up. They run out of crackers, and Amethyst volunteers to get more, only to then notice that half their party is gone. Steven will find them, and Ames runs off. 

Four Gems and a Baby

Steven was intended to be Spinel’s new Best Friend so she thinks of him as a fellow Spinel playing a game with them at the moment. Like Ames said, being a baby was fun, so this must be going somewhere. Rose said he was gonna be a friend. So that’s what he was.

Gem Heist

Spinel becomes mute: the misadventure/near shattering :)

That Will Be All

She’s FIIIIIIINE…

Ruby Round-Up

Mission: Find and Locate All Ruby Guards

After “Storm in the Room.” Everyone heads back out into space to see if we can’t find the Rubies. We are able to find Army, Leggy, and Doc before Doc calls the cops on us and a Homeworld ship shows up. We find out more about Gem technology, namely that you can only go a straight line while using the gravity engine, so in theory, the other ship can track them. They need a safe place to hide. Spinel takes over the controls, and she takes them to the solar system with the Garden in it.

The whole time, Army and Doc don’t make it easy to escape. They keep making this harder for them to drive, having broken many parts of the ship in an effort to get it to stall, and the other gems have to leave Spins alone to drive while they make sure the three Rubies don’t cause any more trouble.

They hide the ship behind one of the smaller planets/moons floating there, shutting off the engine to help prevent being tracked/seen. The other ship zips right on past, missing them entierly. They power the ship back on, and land on the centerpiece.

The episode ends with everyone stepping out, and Spinel introducing them to the Garden.

Right Where You Left It

We visit one of the gem’s childhood homes…

Spinel takes on the grand tour of the garden, hoping to find parts and pieces to fix up the Roaming Eye. The three Rubies are put in time-out. We see the inside of the room, where Pink’s Biopoison Injector awaits, along with a line of rejuvenators. We also meet the cautious Coral and the untrustful Amber. Coral is in charge of all the plants, whereas Amber is in charge of making sure the buildings don’t collapse, but they only are supposed to be at work when they’re called. No one has called for thousands of years, and they’re too scared to go investigate. Spinel left a while ago, too, giving them zero reason to go out there. If an elite saw them, they could risk being shattered since no one wants them anymore. Where do useless gems go?

The two wind up telling them about the biopoison, and how it was made just for this garden when Pink finally decided she was done with it forever. The rejuvenators were meant to reset a gem, but Pink decommissioned them after a single use. Yellow has more. 

They ask Spinel if she’s back to stay, also where is Pink Diamond? This is where we find out Spins and Pearl belonged to Pink. She’s gone, Spins says, and no, she’s not staying here. Do they want to go with them to Earth? After some thought Coral and Amber decide no- the threat of shattering is really scary, and they can’t fight back. They don’t even have gem weapons. Spinel tells them that she didn’t either, until her friend made her one! She pulls out her scythe. They could come along, too. The Earth is a beautiful place. They agree reluctantly, but then state that they don’t want to be a part of anything; if Earth is a place to be free, then they want to explore, maybe fix up or tidy up some Gem ruins there. Fighting is not an option, and they’re tired of staying in one spot. 

The others agree, and Spinel apologizes for not paying them more attention when they were here together. She has a history of only focusing on what she wants to focus on, and ignores everything else. All is forgiven, and it’s back to Earth we go now that the ship is prepared.

The three Rubies manage to escape and warp back to Homeworld...

Making Up
