If you are still taking Prompts, I would love to know how Danny's Delivery went in your fic Delivery in your Grandfather Clock's series. Like, I'm just imagining him getting shot (not seriously) and Clockwork fussing over him even while he congratulates Danny on doing a good job.
"Okay," said Sam, the minute Danny's parents and the doctor went out into the hallway to talk. "Spill."
"It pretty much went how I said it went," said Danny, shrugging. "I found that guy's notebook and decided to bring it back to him. The Guys in White were there with their stupid ultrasensitive targeting system. I set it off and they shot me."
"Yeah, you're helpful, but you're not that helpful," said Sam. "You'd normally have handed it off to Jazz, since she's got some classes there."
That was true.
"You've done it before," said Jazz, crossing her arms. No help there.
"Okay, you're right, but you have to promise not to get mad," said Danny.
Sam and Jazz looked at each other. Danny would have liked Tucker to be there, just for the sake of Guy Solidarity, but Tucker refused to get anywhere near a doctor's office unless someone was actively dying.
"Go ahead," said Jazz, finally.
"Clockwork gave me the notebook and told me to bring it back," said Danny. "Because, he said, the Guys in White would lose a lot of recruits and that'll be important in the future."
"He sent you somewhere to get shot at?" asked Jazz.
"I knew I was going to get shot at, and I did it anyway. That's kind of what I do every time I fight ghosts, too."
Jazz made a face. "That's true."
"So, it was time agent stuff," said Sam. "That's still working out for you?"
"Oh, yeah, it's great," said Danny. "Clockwork is great."
"I'm glad, but still... I don't like that he sent you to get shot at on purpose."
"But I'm fine."
"And remember what he was like during the snake thing," said Sam.
"I wasn't there during the snake thing," said Jazz. "Because you didn't tell me about the snake thing until after."
"Oh, yeah. Well, he was completely doting on him. Like at the, you know, at the party."
"You can say deathday around me, I'm not going to freak out."
"I know, I know," said Jazz. "We all like Clockwork, it's just that with Mom and Dad... You don't need someone else who cares more about work."
When it came to ghosts, things weren't quite that simple. He didn't think things were quite that simple with his parents, either.
"Yeah, but it was about making me safer in the future."
Jazz's expression softened further. "If you're sure that's what's going on, okay," she said. She sat down in one of the chairs. "But maybe give me a heads up in the future? You nearly gave us a heart attack."
"Mostly you," said Sam.
"Mostly me," agreed Jazz.
"Time out," said Clockwork.
Danny sat up straighter on the examination table. "I didn't mess anything up, did I?"
"Not at all," said Clockwork. "You did wonderfully. Everything is as it should be." He held out a hand. "May I?"
Danny nodded and slid the paper examination gown to one side so Clockwork could see the burns more easily. They weren't serious, and he was already healing quickly, but they were worse than what a regular human would have gotten from those weapons... Which had, at least, made the doctor and his parents that much more angry at the GIW. Although, who knew how long that would last or what excuses the GIW would come up with.
Clockwork adjusted one of the watches on his wrist and passed his hand over the burn. Danny watched as another couple of days of healing passed in front of his eyes.
"I need to learn that trick," said Danny, putting the gown back into place.
"I will be happy to teach you," said Clockwork.
Danny blinked at him. "Really?"
"Really. Time in."

I just read all of your Thomas Shelby x reader and i fell in love with all of it 😍
I honestly don't have any idea or specific request for you but i will send you these GIF in hope that maybe they will spark something for you to write.
Now that i have pick these i kinda realize i want some more hurt comfort 😅
Tumblr media Tumblr media
thank you so so much! I'm glad you love them. I really locked in for this to try and get an idea, so hopefully you like it!
Up The Duff
pairing: Tommy Shelby x Pregnant!Fem!Reader
word count: 2536
warnings: pregnancy, hurt w/ comfort :)
"Good of you to join us." Y/N said to Ada when she finally walked into the main room. She and Polly were having tea, gossiping about practically everyone in Birmingham.
"Where have you been all day?" Polly asked in a much flatter tone than Y/N had, looking into her tea as if she were preemptively reading the leaves through the liquid.
"In bed." Y/N raised her eyebrow while Polly picked up a news paper, sharing a look with Ada. Oh, Ada had been in bed alright; in bed with Y/N's cousin. But, Y/N was in bed with Ada's brother, so she couldn't really say anything.
She kept Ada's secret well, and for awhile, Ada kept Y/N's secret. That was, until the entire Shelby lot had walked in while Thomas had her bent over the desk, clawing at the wood like an animal.
It took quite some time for her to gather the courage to look any of the Shelby's in the eye.
"Couldn't sleep. Then I couldn't wake up. Then I was cold, and then I had to go for a wee." Ada was cutting herself some bread, and Y/N rolled her eyes as she over explained everything. "Then I was with this bear on a boat, but that was just a dream. Then I was hungry." Ada sat down across from Y/N, who sipped her tea and looked at Polly. "I've never seen you read the paper, Pol." Ada said as she put jam on her toast.
"The BSA are on strike. The miners are on strike. IRA are killing our boys, ten a day." Polly gave Ada a look, the younger girl simply licking the jam off her fingers.
"What?" Ada asked, looking between Y/N and Polly.
"Stand up," Polly told Ada, making Y/N raise an eyebrow once more.
"Why?" Ada asked, and Y/N tried to follow Polly's reasoning. She wasn't getting anywhere.
"Just stand up." Polly instructed. Y/N stood with Ada, going around the table to stand behind Polly as Ada wiped her hands. "Side on," Not even a moment later, Polly was grabbing Ada's breast, Y/N and Ada both letting out a gasp.
"What are you doing, Pol?" Y/N asked, walking up beside her. The older woman paid no mind to Y/N.
"Ada, how late are you?" Y/N's eyes widened. Was Ada pregnant?
Ada crossed and uncrossed her arms. "One week." Good, not too bad. Still a chance. "Five weeks." Ada said at the silence. Y/N looked a Polly, who was still looking at Ada. "Seven if you count weekends. I think it's a lack of iron." Ada tagged onto the end, and Y/N almost lost her breath. She knew Freddy and Ada had sex, but they weren't married, and she never thought this would have been the outcome. Polly sat down, and Ada sat next to her, causing Y/N to be on the outside behind them.
"What about those tablets?" Y/N asked, hoping to help.
"They didn't work, did they?" Polly asked, a sympathetic look on her face.
"No," Ada shook her head, and Y/N sighed. "I blame Y/N for my lack of notice. We're synced, and she hasn't asked for anything in two months, at least." It was quiet in the room as they all realized what Ada was saying.
"What? I just started buying my own." She lied, crossing her arms.
"No," Polly said, looking Y/N up and down. "Not both of you. Not two Shelby's." She begged, making the sign of the cross.
"I'm not a Shelby." Y/N informed Polly, as if she hadn't already known.
"You might as fuckin' well be!" She yelled out, making Y/N look around.
"I am not pregnant!" She yelled, taking a deep breath and calming herself down as Ada and Polly stared. She looked around, glad all the men were out. "I am not pregnant." She walked around the table and sat at the space across from the Shelbys.
"At least I've come to terms with it." Ada muttered, making Y/N scoff.
"We might not be pregnant. Just," She paused as she tried to think of a reason why her and Ada would be almost two months late.
"That's it," Polly hit the table, even though no one was talking.
"What's it?" Thomas asked as he walked in. Y/N's heart basically stopped beating for a moment, and she swore she was going to throw up.
"Y/N just came up with a new idea for jam." Ada covered, reaching over Polly to grab her toast. "Nothing special."
"Right." Thomas paused, turning to Y/N and nodding. She nodded back, giving a small smile to him. "I just came to pick up Y/N so she could get ready for our date tonight." Thomas walked over to Y/N, grabbing her hand and helping her up. His hand then went to the small of her back, and she smiled up at him.
"Oh, but she just agreed to go out with us." Polly feigned sadness, and Y/N raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, we were going to go to the new pub." Ada added, causing Y/N to squint. She didn't make any plans, and they had no reason to go out tonight.
"Oh?" Thomas questioned, and Y/N licked her lips.
"Uh, yeah," She wasn't sure the reason Polly and Ada wanted to go out, but she could guess that it had to do with their recent discoveries. "Sorry. I forgot we were going out." She bluffed, looking up again at Thomas. He cocked his head slightly, looking down at her.
Oh shit. He has to know.
"Right," Thomas looked at his family then, putting his free hand in his pocket. "Well, in that case, I will just be stealing her for the afternoon." He began to usher Y/N out, the two barely able to utter goodbye at Thomas' pace.
"Tommy, slow down!" Y/N said, tripping over her heels as they stepped out the door. He caught her, continuing all the way to the car. He helped her in as fast as he possibly could, practically pushing her across to the passenger side. "What was all that?" She asked as Thomas started the car.
"I think I should be asking you the same question." He responded, pulling into the street and driving down the road to her apartment.
"Why?" She asked, leaning against the door as she looked at Thomas. His side profile was something she could admire on a daily basis, and today was no exception.
"What was Polly talking about when I came in?" He cut straight to the chase, and she licked her lips as she shifted to face the windshield.
"The jam?" Y/N questioned, trying to stall.
"I'm not buying that shit." Thomas told her, glancing at her quickly before looking back at the road. "Just tell me what you were really talking about." He put a hand on her thigh, making her insides heat up. She forgot what they were talking about for a moment until Thomas hummed in question.
"It really was jam." She said innocently, nodding as if he were watching.
"Right," Thomas nodded, licking his lips and clearing his throat. "And this jam, what's the idea?" He questioned, still not moving his hand.
"The idea?" Y/N repeated, trying to think of something, anything, to tell Thomas.
"Yes, that's what I said." He told her, turning onto her street.
"Of course," She looked out the window; she didn't know the first thing about jams.
"Do you even know the ingredients to make jam?" Thomas asked, causing Y/N to scoff.
"Why would I have an idea for jams if I didn't know the ingredients?" Yes, this was good. She was getting him off topic.
"That's what I'm asking." He told her, not even seeming angry as he pulled up outside her building. She hopped out and met him on the other side, letting him hold her hand and lead them into the building.
"D'you want some tea?" Y/N asked as she opened the door to her apartment.
"Ah, best not. Where did Pol say you girls were going tonight?" Thomas asked, taking his hat off as he entered her small room.
"Oh, ya know, out and about." She said, pouring some water into the kettle to heat it, even though Thomas had said he didn't want any tea. She had forgotten the lie that Polly had made up already, and it made her heart sink.
"Ah, the Garrison?" He asked, taking a cigarette out and putting it in his mouth. Y/N turned, trying not to let her eyes widen.
"Could you not smoke in here, Tommy? It's a small room." She requested, walking up and taking the cigarette out of his mouth, replacing it with her own lips. He responded in kind, hands traveling to her side.
"What's really going on?" Thomas asked as they parted, causing Y/N's brain to come back much faster than she would have liked.
"What do you mean?" She whispered against his lips, trying to distract him again. Thomas was unfortunately strong willed, and he stepped back slightly.
"Come on, love. I know you don't make jam, and I know you and Ada and Pol aren't going to a pub tonight. Why're you lying to me?" He looked genuinely upset, and Y/N took a deep breath, turning back to the kettle as it whistled. As she was pouring the water, he wrapped his arms around her, kissing her cheek and pressing his face close to hers.
"Tommy," She whispered, tears in her eyes. "Tommy, I'm late." She muttered, letting a tear fall from her eye as she put the kettle down.
"Late?" He asked, and Y/N could tell he didn't understand because he hadn't tightened his arms or moved away.
"Yes," She said, not able to explain further.
"For," Thomas led off, leaning into her more causing her to spill some of her tea on herself. She hissed as she put it down, taking a deep breath.
"Tommy," She turned to him, looking up and watching his face fall as he realized she was crying.
"You're late," He said in understanding, taking a deep breath. She nodded, more tears falling down her face.
"We're going somewhere tonight," She told him, not able to look at him. "To confirm it." She kept Ada's secret, knowing that eventually Thomas would figure it out and it wasn't her place to tell him.
"I see," Thomas let go of her and walked backward running his hands over his face as he looked out the window. He licked his lips, rubbing his hands together. "How, um, how long?" He asked, finally looking at her.
"I wasn't keeping track, but, um, probably two months. Maybe 3." Her voice got quieter as she said the last part, and Thomas just nodded, looking back out the window. He then grabbed his hat and wordlessly walked out of the apartment, leaving Y/N in shock. She fell softly to the the floor then, staying there until Ada and Polly came to pick her up.
~
Tommy wasn't sure what to do.
He was feeling a lot of emotions, and his heart hadn't stopped beating out of his chest for thirty minutes. He sat on his bed, his door locked, with his hands over his face as he tried to breathe. He didn't want to leave Y/N, but he didn't want to freak out in front of her either.
How could he be a father? He knew Y/N would be a good mother, but he wasn't so sure about himself. What if he fucked up this kid? He would never be able to live with himself. And his work wasn't the greatest; he wasn't sure if he would ever get to the point where kids would be a good option.
And God, Y/N. His sweet girl. It was his fault that she would go through this, that she would have to birth a child. Was she ready for it?
He should have stayed and talked with her, he realized suddenly. He ran down the stairs and back to his car, speeding to get to Y/N's. But by the time he had got to her apartment, banging on the door and begging her to let him in, he realized she had already left to go out with Polly and Ada. And he doubted they were going to a pub.
Shit.
~
He waited outside the door, sitting in the hallway and watching multiple people walk by before Y/N finally showed up, face free of any makeup and eyes swollen, probably from crying.
"Tommy?" He had his head down against his knees, and he jerked up at the sound of her voice. He took her in, wondering if she was angry at him for leaving, before hopping up.
"I am so, so sorry," He whispers, not sure what else to say.
"Let's go inside." She offers, unlocking the door before walking in. She'll definitely have to move in with him, because he doesn't like how there's only one lock separating her from someone that may want to hurt her in order to get to him. Just the thought makes him sick, and he locks the door as soon as he closes it. It's quiet as they both try to figure out what to say, neither of them looking at each other.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, putting his hands on his hips and then quickly crossing his arms instead.
"What?" She questions, not sure what Thomas was asking. She wasn't expecting that to come out of his mouth, especially after he stormed out.
"When you first had the idea that you were pregnant, why didn't you come to me?" He seems so hurt, so upset, and that makes Y/N even more sad. She looks away.
"I didn't know what you would do," She tells him, tears running down her face. She looks at the floor, rambling. "We're not married, and I know you're trying to build your business and I just-"
"Do you want to be?" He cut her off, stepping closer to her.
"Want to be what?" She asked, too caught up in her worries to understand what he was asking.
"Married." He told her, completely confident. She blinked at him, not sure if he was being serious or if he was drunk.
"Is that how you're asking?" She questioned, crossing her arms and smiling slightly.
"If that's what you want," Thomas told her, grabbing her left hand and getting down on one knee. "I would be honored to be your husband." Y/N took a deep breath, trying to think about her answer.
"Are you only asking me because I might be pregnant?" She muttered, tears falling fast out of her eyes. She wanted to marry Thomas, but she didn't want him to marry her just because she was pregnant. "Because you don't have to do that," She sniffles.
"I wouldn't." He tells her, shaking his head as he puts his other knee down. He pulls her in by the waist, and she lets herself be tugged toward him, her stomach reaching his face. She cards a hand through his hair, smiling slightly.
"We'll be okay." She whispers, smiling as Thomas looks up at her. He stands, wiping her tears and pulling her in for a kiss.

Was very big brained of me to make killer paradox x Crime and Punishment quote edits and honestly did an amazing job at it - proud of it

Sapphic pining and yearning with galaxy metaphors? You got it, boss
Favourite
This is a 3 parter
My name x The Glory - my favourite badass woman consumed by hurt, anger, guilt and revenge. Know that I was always love you. This edit will always be special to me because it was my first multiple characters across show edit. Glad I participated in the @userdramas event
Queen of tears - using the stripes and gaps in her memory was very big brained of me
Doctor slump - honestly in love with the coloring
April
Tumblr media
Most Popular
I love women. I worship well-written woman. I am in awe of woman who can act out these well-written layered characters. Shogun gave me all of this and more
Favourite
The scene in QoT that hurt a lot. When she refused to marry him - though it's clear they both still love each other. She sees herself as a burden because she is sick and doesn't want to be with him but he finally sees the woman he loves now that the loss is imminent - the hurt and resentment didn't matter as long as he had a chance to build and live a life with her. I think the quote perfectly captures it and the coloring captures the melancholy and clarity they both have and it's my second favorite QoT set of mine.
May
Tumblr media
Most Popular
Did QoT have it's problems? Yes. But we're those 2-3 months of watching the joy filled with joy and purpose? Also yes. So of course I made a good bye edit when the show ended
Favourite
23.5 was heartwarming and adorable. This edit was my first time doing social media template and honestly did quite a decent job for first time

Even when I don't make edit of shows, I make edit of ✨women✨

Shin Ha Kyun playing cunty morally grey diva who began to be morally ambiguous after meeting gorgeous young diva who is unhinged is always magical. Thanks to this show for introducing me to Kim Young kwang.
Honestly love the quotes, it's a combination of few quotes and my writing and dare I say I did a badass job
Favourite
Thank you, a bloody lucky day for giving me yoo yeon seok as bloody murderous psychopath, looking forward to more such roles.

The quote for her character was hardest to find but I found a good done Finally
August
Tumblr media
Most Popular
I've said it earlier, I'll say it again. I watched the show thanks to @guzhufuren and am glad because hua ein and xiao bao have become my favorite grumpy x sunshine couple
Favourite
It is a two parter
The king of pigs
I was NOT prepared for the ending. They only said the bullying was graphic. No one told me I'd cry even after the episode. Jung min shouldn't have been pushed to do what he did. Kyung min shouldn't have had to live with the guilt of witnessing what he did. The anger, the hurt and the sadness at the injustice of what they experience made this edit
Shadow Detective
The first part of the show was GREAT. The second part was mid. You know what was consistent though? Lee sung min's acting and that's what made this edit - the awe and respect I felt for him and how he acted in this scene at the beach.
September

If a show talks about revolution as beautiful as gyeongseong creature does and I don't make an edit, know I'm depressed (like legit, netting the clinical ICD-10 criteria) or dead.

Yoo yeon seok as rich powerful chaebol tsundere is what my dreams are made of. Honestly this edit was born after THE EPISODE 2 SCENE.

Favourite
The Heart Killers Episode 1 and Episode 2 captured really well the desire - be it lust, to belong, yearning and pining
Kant x Bison - the same kant who doesn't bother exchanging names with his hook ups being disappointed bison left!!! the red and oranges-ish hue to show desire and passion and I'm afraid I ate and left no crumbs with quotes
Fadel x Style - fadel's anger and guilt for having a desire and yearning to be loved and to belong but the anger and guilt not being enough to stop making him feel? Delicious. Also once again the coloring and quotes? Perfect. I devoured. The quote took me HOURS to find.
December

Glad I wasn't alone in loosing my mind over style kissing fadel's scar with absolute gentleness and devotion
Favourite
It's a 3 parter
Kant and Style and Guilt - honestly no one likes what Kant is doing, including kant but hating him for it just shows you don't understand him. Honestly, can't remember doing such a word heavy edit but @ropebunnykant liz's trust in me is something I am forever grateful so for thanks a lot love, this - including my writing, happened because of your tags
Fadel x Style x 10 Things I Hate About You - I have never denied being a basic bitch

"Broken", Not Stupid - 7
Pairing: alpha!Simon "Ghost" Riley x unusual omega!OC (13)
CW: Omegaverse; cult-like situation; dehumanization; selling children to a cult
Author's Note: Weee~ I swear these two are just using me as a way to get this story out. I don't know what's going on lol
Tumblr media
"Keep eating. I'm going to step outside and make a phone call," Simon points to the window next to them. "I'll be standing right there. Tap on the glass if you need anything."
13 nods and slowly places another french fry between her lips.
As soon as Simon was in the exact spot he promised, he hit the call button. It rang twice before he answers.
"Simon," John greets him in a clear voice.
Simon's not sure when his captain ever sleeps. He called John first not only was he sure he would be awake, but also because he holds the most sway out of 141. If John thinks something needs to be done, it will be done.
"Need to run something by you," he says, jumping right in. There's a shuffling of papers on John's end of the line before Simon continues. "What do you know of the organization Salvation?"
By the end of the phone call John was informed of how Simon came to even know of Salvation and be on one of their properties, what he found there, what 13 had told him so far, and all of the warning signs he'd seen so far.
"What are you asking, Lieutenant?" His voice is tense, measured; he's also controlling his anger about this.
"I'm asking what we can do about it," Simon says cooly.
"We need more. Proof, evidence," he growls the words. "And your omega, 13? You said she's American so I'll get a hold of Laswell. Let her know what's going on, your suspicions, and see what information she has so far." John pauses. "This is going to take time, Simon. I'll also ask Laswell about some kind of therapy for... 13. She really didn't give you an actual name?"
"No. She's made no mention of it. First time she's said anything about her life before Salvation was that she was 13 when her father 'sent' her to Salvation."
The pure anger in Simon's voice was obvious to John, but anyone who happened to be listening wouldn't know anything was wrong without hearing the full conversation.
Not that anyone was around. It was after midnight.
"I see. Well... I'll call Laswell now. At least get her attention about it. And Simon?"
Simon waits, listening for whatever John has to say. His voice softened a bit so curiosity picks at Simon's mind.
"I'm glad you found an omega." Then the call ends.
When Simon makes it back inside, 13 has eaten about half of the box of french fries he was picking at to feed her.
"Alright?" he asks as he lowers into his chair.
She nods and looks at the tray of food.
"I wasn't sure which 'main dish' was meant for me so I just kept eating the fries," she admits.
Wordlessly, he pushes the chicken nugget box closer to her.
"Want anything to dip them in?"
She shrugs as she opens the box.
"Ranch?"
His sudden movement to get up to go to the counter seems to startle her a bit so he slows his movements. On his way past her, he rests his hand hesitantly on her shoulder in an attempt to apologize and comfort her. She doesn't flinch away but she does go a bit stiff.
Retreiving the ranch was quick and he gently places them in front of her when he returns.
"Thank you," she whispers as she peels one open.
They eat in a silence that is both tense and comfortable all at once. As soon as the food is gone, Simon cleans up the wrapers. Then he taps the empty cup he got for her.
"Um... Coke? I can get it-"
"No. I'll get it, just stay here," he insists and plucks the large cup from the table. "Ice?"
13 shakes her head and Simon walks off to fill the cup. When he returns, the cup has a lid and straw on top of being almost over-full.
"Do you want to sit for a bit more or go?"
"Can we go? I'm... I know there's hardly any people here, but I don't know when I was last in public this long so..." she trails off and takes the cup from his hands to sip from it.
"Come on," he tugs gently on the sleeve of his shirt he'd brought for her. "Get you home."
There's a flicker of something unknown across her face when he says 'home'.
John's right, this is going to take time. And 13 needs therapy.

I Never Stopped - Part 2
A comfortable silence had fallen between Jinx and Ekko as he bandaged her wound. His confession kept replaying in her mind. Well, it wasn't exactly a confession, but Jinx knew what he was gonna say before he cut himself off. She loved him too, she had never stopped, but she was glad he hadn't actually let the words fall out of his mouth. She would have either started blubbering like a baby, or she would have been unable to stop herself from falling into his arms and kissing him senseless. Regardless, she was glad both situations were prevented. Ekko was probably married. Probably had his own family back home. Ekko having his own family would break her heart, but it would bring her joy nonetheless. He deserved love and happiness. It's all she wanted for him. "Your thinking." Jinx looked up when she heard Ekko's voice, he had finished with her hand and was putting the supplies in her bathroom cabinet. She smiled, "Is that a bad thing?" Ekko laughed, the sound intoxicating. "Depends, I never really know with yo-" He was cut off by the sound of the front door opening and her daughter bellowing, "I'm hooome!" Jinx shot up and yelled a quick, "Coming! Just give me one sec!" She turned to Ekko and whispered, "Just stay in here ok? She can brush her teeth in the kitchen so she doesn't see you." Jinx turned to walk out, but Ekko grabbed her wrist and stopped her. He looked at her with sympathy, rubbing comforting circles on her wrist as he said, "Jinx. I know you're worried, but you can't hide me in here. We don't have to tell her anything, but I need to go out there. I want to meet my daughter." Jinx inhaled sharply and nodded before walking out into the living room, Ekko following behind her. Despite how nervous she was, Jinx felt the weight of her situation fall off her shoulders when Felicity came into view. The sight of her daughter always managed to calm Jinx, no matter the situation. Felicity dropped her bag and ran up to Jinx, wrapping her arms around her moms waist. Jinx chuckled and kissed the top of Felicity's head, "Hey bug, how was your day?" Felicity smiled up at her mom, arms still wrapped around Jinx, "It was good. Aunt Lux helped me with homework and then we got dinner." Jinx smiled and ruffled her little girls hair before untangling herself from the embrace and gesturing to Ekko, "We have a guest! This is my friend Ekko." Jinx wrung her hands awkwardly, trying not to have a freak out at the sight of her kid in the same room as Ekko. After a few moments of awkward silence, Ekko came to Jinx's rescue. He walked up to Felicity and shook her hand, "Nice to meet you, Felicity. Your moms told me all about you." Felicity smiled and returned the gesture, Jinx laughed at the shocked look on Ekko's face when she shook his hand. For a little girl, Felicity had one hell of a strong handshake. "So, how do you know mom?" Jinx's head shot up at the question, she locked eyes with Ekko and shook her head. Apparently, he didn't gather that shaking her head and giving him a death stare meant 'don't tell her your from Zuan'. Ekko smiled and said, "I'm from Zuan, we were childhood friends." Felicity looked at her mom in disbelief, "What? You never told me about Ekko!" Jinx shrugged and gave her a crooked smile, "We stopped seeing each other around when we were like eleven, it must've slipped my mind." Jinx didn't miss the pained look on Ekko's face at her words, it took everything in her not to break down. Her answer seemed to be good enough for Felicity, because she turned back to Ekko and asked, "Are you gonna have a sleepover with us?!" Ekko winced and shook his head, "Uh, nah, I'm staying at the Inn on eighth street." Felicity let out a sound of disappointment and before she Jinx could stop herself , she blurted, "Stay!" Ekko look at her, eyes wide. Jinx bit her lip and crossed her arms around herself protectively, "If you want, that is. I'm sure you would like to get to know Felicity better." Ekko's eyes shined as he nodded and said, "I would love to stay."
After a quick Ice cream party in the kitchen where Felicity told her mom and Ekko all about her day, Jinx helped her get ready for bed tucked her in while Ekko was getting the couch ready. Jinx had insisted on sleeping on the couch so Ekko could have her bed, but he refused to take the bed. So chivalrous. She was about to turn off the lamp when a little hand wrapped around her arm and stopped her, "Mama, you look sad tonight", Felicity said as she snuggled closer to her pillow. Jinx sighed, "I am a little sad tonight, but don't worry about it. I'll be alright." Felicity furrowed her eyebrows and asked, "Do you miss Isha?" Jinx smiled sadly and sat down on the edge of the bed, "I always miss Isha, honey. But that's not why I'm sad tonight. It's adult stuff. Things you don't need to worry about." Her little girl nodded, "Love you, Mama." Jinx turned out the light and kissed Felicity's forehead, "Love you more."

How is Innocence/Grief/Healing getting along with the other Ancients. Like, how do they interact with Pure Vanilla, White Lily, Hollyberry, Dark Cacao, and Golden Cheese cookie? Considering they were a Beast of Grief but now is currently Light of Healing, there should be some interesting interactions.
Also; since Dark Enchantress Cookie is after the Beast and Ancients soul/jams, could this mean she be after Reader’s soul-jam also. This reader au is the reason I going through the day and life in general.
Tumblr media
answering this via not-posting because i feel like it's too much to make an actual post for a question so just like a past ask where it was just a question it's gon be under the 'answering mystics' tag ++ it's gon be a small summary of the interactions with the new ancient hero... that is also a beast. hopefully ur okay with this not being an actual post, human, and hopefully ur doin' atleast okay out there. glad to see your holding up well. — 💋
Tumblr media Tumblr media
PURE VANILLA COOKIE IS.... the most patient with you, and your go-to when venting or ranting about your friends, they understand how you feel. They're like your gentle caretaker, but they treat you as a friend and not a child. Quiet moments with Pure Vanilla in the gardens of the Vanilla Kingdom is common as well as tea with him and White Lily, and maybe even the rest of the Ancients too. weirdly enough, this feels oddly familiar...
HOLLYBERRY COOKIE IS... as she says, is always pleased to meet new friends! Sure, she may be a little unsure of yourself due to your roots as a beast, but once she's heard your full story and what went on in that archipelago of yours (i forgot the name), she's sure you can redeem yourself. She supports you and your journey of healing, and sure her methods aren't exactly ideal but she has the spirit! She's also an amazing friend and is always willing to lend a hand in any mishap you may cause, and with no bad feelings either! huh, how odd. this feels so... mundane, familiar, close...
DARK CACAO COOKIE IS... unsure of you. he wasn't sure with you considering his experience with a beast, one of your friends, but he gave you a chance (because hollyberry said so). like pure vanilla, quiet moments are common with him but because you two are the least close within the group. overtime, he gets more comfortable with you and your time with him is well appreciated because you two are mostly silent and quiet, which means peace and time for the mind. he appreciates you for it and believes you can finish your journey in healing. you two also spar for fun and because he wants to see your potential, and you two train together sometimes. how weird, he reminds you so much of someone you once held dear...
GOLDEN CHEESE COOKIE IS... also unsure of you, and incredibly distant. because of her experience with a beast, she's also defensive of herself when she first met you and found out you were a beast. this was expected with goldie, and your friends were quick to stop her and defend you, but it sure took kind of a while for her to be open with you. now, because of her awakened abilities, she likes having you as an opponent for fun and wants to see your potential in a real fight. truth be told, she can't wait to see what you can really do! how weird, huh, she's almost like a nicer version of someone you once knew...
WHITE LILY COOKIE IS... more aware of what you can do compared to the others, and so is vanilla. she's your go-to when improving and controlling your magic, emotional magic, and she's willing to teach you how to utilize your soul jam and your new magical capabilities along with it if you ask her. quiet moments with her is also fairly common, but you two are the closest when it comes to your connections with the other five heroes. she saw and connected with you deeply, and she knows and understands how you feel. sure, vanilla is open to you venting to him but if you want true comfort for how you feel and your grief, lily should be your go-to. she's almost like your new bestie at the end of the day... reminds you of a certain someone...
Tumblr media
DARK ENCHANTRESS COOKIE... clearly wants you the most of the other ancients. since your soul jam evolved directly from the beast's full power and not just a purified drop of it, yours is the most powerful by far. even more so when you remember that yours was never purified before it turned into the light of healing. with time, you'll become the most powerful of the ancients, and dark enchantress knows it. she doesn't care about your sob-story, she's interested in your incredible power and she wants it, clearly and desperately. your friends will have to defend you from her earnestly, then.

“of course they didn’t i told them not to, silly. if you called them and i was in the room, i’d leave the room and same thing for if you called me.” luckily, they don’t share their locations, and she only thought he was traveling to visit his family because that’s what he told her. “ they knew about this whole thing. down to the special names on the menu. we had a nice talk. in order to pull this off i had to dm katerina back-and-forth for about a week and she offered to let me come and visit. i mentioned how I wanted to meet them before starting anything related to us actually dating and that i wanted to surprise you.” he smiles, rubbing her cheek. he’s glad that she grasps the sentiment behind what he was trying to achieve, and he’d say that it worked out in his favor, given that they’re on a date right now. after breaking away from the kiss, he has to take a minute to process how far they’ve come. “you get as many kisses as you want, anywhere you want. you’re very funny, but sex on the first date doesn’t seem so wild when you put it like that…” everything feels so unreal to him right now. they’re casually talking about sleeping with each other in the middle of a date. “wait— you really broke an actual bed? that’s insane. i don’t think that’s ever happened to me before.” he snorts. “my brother walked in on me once. i meant to drink what you said that. well, he didn’t walk in all the way, he kind of cracked the door open and then immediately closed it. needless to say I took away my spare key. it was funny, i was in university at the time. i lived off campus.” he takes another drink. “ I like when you talk about yourself by the way. it’s never too much for me.”
Tumblr media
rafael can’t help but laugh again when venus mentions ryder and katerina. she really has no clue that he did all that for her. “venus… i was speaking about you, sweetheart. it’s more crazy for a first date, but very important to me to do.” he figures that since they’re on the date now, he can tell her. “i went to canada for a few days. that’s all you get to know, though. no details, unless katerina or ryder want to share.” he teases. in actuality he can give her as many details as she asks for. he’s not accustomed to saying no to her anyway. he can’t wait to go on more dates and watch there romantic relationship grow and hopefully, he does fall in love with her even though he feels like he already has— at surface level. he steals another kiss, only this time it’s more sensual. “mm… how was that one?” this version of himself is more so like how he was when they first met, when he stopped being nervous and actually got to talk to her. he gives her a look as to say what spicy stuff, and how spicy? her response to his latest question, spikes his curiosity. “ whoa whoa… wait, you took a drink, tell me. c’mon.. it’s all fun. no judgement.” well he waits for her to give him some kind of additional answer he takes a sip of water and finishes off his mac & cheese. “no i have never fallen in love at first sight… i do fall fast though.”

#actually yeah remember that time i had swine flu#i had a 104 degree fever and was terrified to go to the hospital#not because of the hospital but because i'd have to manage my parents' emotions and anxiety while i was there on top of being sick as hell#i locked myself in the bathroom refusing to let my dad take me to the ER#and only gave in when he promised he wouldn't tell my mom#and then his girlfriend told my mom. they fucking lied#and then. you guessed it. i had to manage everyone's emotions while we waited for the ER to do literally nothing#the swine flu tests were super unreliable and i got a false negative. they sent me home with some antibiotics and called it a day#then sheepishly called a week later when the second test came back positive to basically ask if i was still alive#swine flu fucked me up for a long time. but it didn't warrant an er visit#and it certainly didn't warrant my parents fucking breaking my trust like that#i know they only told my mom so they didn't have to deal with her going off after the fact#which is such bullshit. that's the kind of thing a parent is supposed to take and shield their kid from#not break their trust so you get it easy#but of course. if my dad had been one to take my aversion to my mom seriously then. then he and i wouldn't be going on 4yrs of no contact#because a looooot of things would've had to be different for that one thing to happen#god i have so much anger for my parents. so much grief#my mom's been surprisingly silent (all things considered) in the near month i've been no contact with her#and it's not like seeing the disgusting emails and voicemails from her feels good but... but they're almost better than nothing.#they're sort of love. in a way. not really... but. but it hurts to know how hard my dad fought to get through to me#and to have spent the past 4yrs with my mom rubbing in my face how she'd never be like him and Just let me go. how she'd fight.#being told that at the time didn't feel like love. didn't feel healthy. and now seeing that she didn't even fucking mean it.#she prided herself so much on being the one who Loved Me More. really hard not to see it for the performance it was now#makes me wonder if my dad really actually did love me as much as he said. not that it was much but. it was more. it was something#i know he's not capable of change. even less capable than my mom. but. i really miss my dad right now.#(​glad i can still remember what his voice sounds like. so i don't have to go listen to one of those old voicemails he left me)#even considering that the memory that brought this all up was him lying to me and betraying my trust#being no contact with my parents...i'm finally the orphan i always have been#personal#ahhhh therapy's gonna be JUICY this week 🤣

being a girl is getting a lil high and turning on music that you can cry sing to while thinking about your ex who did you so wrong even though you’re literally the happiest you’ve ever been and don’t miss him at all at all at allllll!!!!!

Anyways super fucked up that I’ve gotten more compliments and encouragement on my art from total strangers I talked to for 5 mins than I ever did from my family over 25 years (not counting my sister)

#Um she told me she's in love with me and if anything happens to know I'm hot and she wants me#And then went into a lot of detail just repeating over and over the things she wants / fantasies about me incoherently#Which I'm sure means nothing right#I know this is complicated for her she hates being attracted to me but it is hard to have her be like this is bad when she says she wants m#I don't know what to do#personal#tbdeleted#Triggering for me yikes#messy messy messy#Honestly think she is just grieving so its latching onto me as a woman she can love in a safe way#And I am glad I can be that I guess like obviously she needs that and I want to keep her safe#But I know I can't and she even said it#Like I know she will go home and then be gone forever#I think I am already grieving her in a way#And she has hurt many people I love dearly#Hurt them in deeply upsetting triggering ways that aren't okay and don't make me feel safe#She really lacks understanding of consent and that hurts people but I know she does want me and i think if I tried to stop her I could#I shouldn't be in situations where I am unsure of that though but at the same time it's like if something happens it happens#Idk how much of this is my own issues and thinking I'm not deserving of safe respectful sex and intimacy and my own guilt for everything#And how much of it is her own issues and guilt and grief#But I know I can be safe and loving for her#And I do know there is genuine love there no matter what other factors there are#Anyways sorry if you read all that I am giving you the biggest forehead kisses#I just think about how different it might have been if I had *** **** *** ** *** *** ****** ** *****#I thought I couldn't cope if I had but how can I cope that I didnt#I should have *** *** *** when I could have#This is unrelated but its all tangled up and it's just been bad trauma day already#If I had **** * ****** **** if I had *** *** if I had **** ***** or#Anyways **** ***** ****** **

aw man. for a minute there I thought I might be allowed to take Ibuprofen again since I stopped taking the antidepressant that I was on. but sadly no, you're also not supposed to take it when you're on the anxiety medication I'm on 😔
#I guess I could take it anyway... but the leaflet says not to so I won't#this reminds me of thr last qtime I went to the ER because of my stomach pain (that turned out to be gallstones)#before I went there I called the.. idk on call emergency doctor or whatever#and it was this awful awful woman. anyway she said I should just take Ibuprofen so I said I'm not allowed to take that because it's a#blood thinner and I'm not allowed to take those#and she was really mad and said no it's not. it's pain medication 🙄#I was in so much pain and also kind of stunned by her reaction so I just. hung up#like I know it's not. I guess technically considered a blood thinner? but it does increase the risk of bleeding and that's why you can't#take it with certain other meds#which I think is irrelevant tbh. it's pretty clear what I meant and it's kind of. scary that this doctor would tell someone who says they'r#not allowed to take Ibuprofen to take it anyway. especially since I was having extremely bad stomach pain with no known cause at that point#like that feels dangerous#but anyway what do I know (nothing)#I miss Ibuprofen though 😔 I hate paracetamol#personal#cw medical#(also just. generally. being told to 'just take Ibuprofen' when you've already told this person that you've taken a looot of stronger pain#meds already and they're not doing anything at all is just. wow such great advice thank you! so helpful!)#(I mean I'm glad she was useless because that's why I went to the ER and they finally found out what's wrong. but still 🙄)

No but sometimes I am so tired of playing therapist/neurotypicals translator for my neurodivergent friend like. It's exhausting, to have to be the one to explain why your friend got upset when you just signed her up for the same study group as yourself without asking her first or letting her sign up for what group she wanted herself.
Like. I am good at patiently explaining these things, which is why she always asks me about these things but it's exhausting. But also therapy isn't very accessible and she doesn't have anyone else who really gets her problems understanding stuff to the same level I do so....
Then another friend who doesn't do this on this level but who does go on about how great it is that we can kinda laugh about neurodivergent problems together and such and how amazing it is and how she never really talked about these things with anyone else, which I agree it's great to have someone to talk about it but? The way she phrases it, puts a lot of pressure on me and makes it kinda weird? Like it's this great secret we're sharing? Especially since we haven't known each other all that long?
And like. Idk. I get it, I get to you it's amazing to have someone to talk about this to, someone who gets some of your struggles, someone who talks very openly and happily about being neurodivergent but. Man. I'm great but I'm not an expert in all things neurodivergent. I'm not?? Idk I'm not "special" for having adhd or for talking openly about it, I'm just some perfect life coach, I don't have my own life together, all I've got going for me is that I know what my problems are and that I'm not super afraid to talk about them
Idk. It's just exhausting. Like.... These two in particular just have vibes of kinda putting me on a pedestal (though in different ways) and that just makes me uncomfortable but also idk how to set boundaries there bc "stop telling me that I'm awesome" is. Hmm. It's not like that's what they do. They just imply it. They imply that things I do or say that really aren't anything special are somehow amazing and like??? Idk man I'm just me? Compliment me for the things I do that are actually awesome, not like... For agreeing to do a fun thing with you? I don't do it out of?? Pity? Or whatever? I want to do the fun thing?
#idk it's weird#the second one especially bc like... the first one I've figured out how to set boundaries mostly#she exhausts me sometimes but it's ok#but the second one? it's so weird like? idk she makes me uncomfortable sometimes#like we originally started meeting up to study and obviously ended up chatting quite a bit during that too#and she sends me like. several paragraphs long messages shortly after our meetups end several times?#that almost read like she's reviewing our conversation? it just. i don't like it#like... idk. it makes me uncomfy when ppl who don't know me that well go on about how good it was to talk to me about x or y#or how they usually don't have such great convos or whatever#like.... it feels... like they are very quickly creating an idea of who i am and what i am like in their head#and even if that idea of me is very positive it's still not accurate and it puts a lot of pressure on me to then... be that person i guess?#idk idk#and now this whole neurodivergent thing... like she basically said ''ive never told anyone this'' and i said well you don't have to#tell me your exact diagnosis or anything it's fine#and she didn't and I'm glad bc that would put even more pressure on me#but like she made it a whole Thing and i get even saying ''i'm neurodivergent'' out loud is big for her and that's great#but again. why me. we've known each other for like 3 months. please slow down there#yes I'm awesome but you're projecting ways in which i am awesome that are not real#and you don't even know about some of the ways i am indeed awesome#idk i really don't. we'll see.#trouble is i do like her and i do wanna be friends but man stop assigning me as your best friend forever please you'll get disappointed#this post went far away from it's original point and is now about so many different things#it's fine#rant#personal
