NOW GO WATCH FAIRLY ODD PARENTS A NEW WISH ON NETFLIX PRETTY PLEASE 🙏 🙏🙏🙏 IT DEPENDS ON YOU WHETER WE GET A SEASON 2 SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WATCH IT ‼️‼️‼️ REWATCH IT TOO WHILE YOU’RE AT IT ‼️‼️‼️

[gotskamstuff]

This time last week I was going to bed bursting with excitement to see the season finale of my favorite show the following morning… and now a week later I am left with nothing but the strongest desire to be able to let go of what has been my comfort show for years.

I’ve always been that dedicated fan that hit play on Netflix the SECOND that an OBX season would get released, for 4 years and a half this show had been my comfort. If that night in April 2020 when I first binge watched it for the first time and my dedication to this show started, someone would have told me that years later I would’ve lost all my love and all my excitement for the following seasons I would’ve found it hard to believe with the way I have loved this show with all my heart throughout the years.

How did it go from bursting with excitement at every news and anticipating the seasons to having zero interest in what comes next in the snap of a finger? It’s actually cruel.

I wish I had known last week that it would’ve been the last time I’d feel that excitement and affection for OBX as genuine as it was and that the next day it would’ve died inside me.

Now I’m just in that limbo of wanting to detach myself from it but still strongly being a part of me that’s so hard to let go.

What the fuck happened to our comfort show?💔

🚨🚨🚨(WARNING: THIS TWEET CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM THE LEAKS OF HAZBIN HOTEL SEASON 2, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM I ASK YOU DON'T WATCH IT, THANK YOU)🚨🚨🚨

Hi guys Vick Racker here, I just came to share some thoughts and theories about the Hazbin Hotel leaks just to chat and exchange ideas with you,however I've been thinking 2 things about this:

1-What would Alastor's powers be like if he had never met Rosie?

2- His relationship with Vox is more complicated and sad along with this fact.

Well, let's begin!

1

Independent Alastor:

As those who saw them know, Alastor gave his soul to Rosie in exchange for power to protect himself from the demons of hell,giving him the powers we know in the voodoo magic series, as well as in the story that Minzy tells, he overthrew the ancient overlords of hell and is known by everyone as "The Radio Demon". However, I've been thinking to myself what Alastor's powers would be if he had never met Rosie and sold his soul to her?

(rant: VALUE YOURSELF MAN, DON'T LET THIS WOMAN MAKE YOU HER SLAVE, EVEN WITHOUT THESE POWERS YOU ARE STILL THE FUCKING AWESOME RADIO DEMON!!!)

taking a deep breath 😤😩

As revealed to us in Alastor's life before his death, he was a charismatic, charming, handsome radio broadcaster (I loved his human form, I won't forgive Vivienne Medrano with his demonic design that doesn't even come close to being as perfect), but he also practiced voodoo trying to access the other side, practicing rituals and having that radio to try to communicate, in addition to the fact that he was a cannibalistic serial killer.

Putting this information together, I believe that his powers would have voodoo traits, but not in such a blatant way (I think this is on Rosie's part) he would be more inclined to the voodoo practitioner than I don't know his demonic form with seams that looks like a voodoo doll that someone else could do whatever they want with him, anyway what I'm saying is, his powers would be very different because they are HIS and not GIVEN FROM SOMEONE, they would have their own traits, but his main powers would be radio, a little more evident, not only in his voice or the bugs he makes when someone tries to record him or watches him on TV in the Vox case, but mainly his power of radio waves that could be more powerful and with his charm attracting people (a little similar to Vox and his televisions but different), cheering people up, convincing them or even transporting energy what radio waves do in real life, which in my theory about the end of Hazbin Hotel he could use this power to transfer a battle song sung by him, by Charlie and all the hotel staff, making the demons stronger for the imminent war between heaven and hell, since it is a musical and is one of the main points of the radio playing music.

Even though it does not have the same impact as him with the powers GIVEN BY ROSIE, he could indeed protect himself and become an overlord and continue with his sadistic fun. (the guy doubts himself a lot) In addition to having powers like a deer, the horns, the senses, the jumps that deer make, etc.

His appearance would also change, I think he has his hair cut like that and the costume like that to be more presentable for the cannibal city, otherwise he would have his curly hair with the red that represents the blood from his head after he was shot in the forehead, his costume would have more characteristics of his New Orleans radio broadcaster costume,also keeping the mustache and wearing the glasses he wore in life. I think the monocle is more from Rosie's time than his time in the 1930s.

2

More Complicated and Sad 📻💔📺

Now going back to the friendship between Alastor and Vox, along with this information it could be the saddest and most complicated friendship in this series, since Alastor made that deal to protect himself from the demons of hell that are more powerful than him.

(I could even make an analogy to powerful white men who could do whatever they want and he would have no chance of competing for being a black man, and to make matters worse he appealed to Rosie, a white woman, to have her powers and survive in the face of those predators and he would be a "deer" a prey).

Counting all the suffering he went through with Rosie and taking away Minzy who they knew in life and also taking away the people at the Hotel, Vox would then be the only demon in all of hell that Alastor really trusted and allowed himself to be his friend to the point of taking a picture of him without those bugs, seeing that this photo was taken from a camera from the 50s or 60s, since Vox probably died in the 50s, because at that time TV gained strength to become what it is today, that is, they were very close, in the episodes of season 1 there are several scenes of them that parallel each other, indicating even more the closeness of both.

But unfortunately, this trust of years was broken by their fight that I theorize was not only because of Valentino and the alliance between them, but also because he changed both in appearance and personality, becoming blinded by power ( Power that Alastor also longed for,but we both know how is ending),success and fame, and this affected Alastor because he no longer recognized him as if that old friend was slowly disappearing, thus refusing to join the Vees and this friendship ended as it did and the two became enemies of each other.

The phrase that Vox always says:

"trust us"

never made so much sense. 😢💔

A (kinda) open love letter to hockey

i don’t really know why, but i just have this urge to articulate some of the thoughts swirling in my brain this week. about how much i love the game, the atmosphere, the presence, the players, and everything else surrounding this sport.

i didn’t grow up around hockey, football being the most loved sport in my corner of the world. and honestly, i saw hockey as a ‘filler’ sport most of the time, no one ever really talking about it or watching it. it was just there. always browsing channels and seeing a game on, but never once giving it a second glance.

and i’ll be so totally transparent, the hockey romance books on tik tok are what got me, not a genuine love for the sport itself. i only started watching because i wanted to understand the lingo used and scenarios explained in the books.

i kept seeing all of these tik toks about various players, halfway paying attention and only really commenting on how attractive they were. but then, i really started watching them. i started seeing the personalities peek through each media post, how each one plays the game in their own way, the friendship among the players on and off the ice.

of course, i went through a couple different teams and ‘typical’ duos before settling on my team (the devils, duh). i actually remember scrolling through tumblr, seeing this random man keep popping up on my timeline, not understand why people kept talking about him or where he came from. and lo and behold, imagine my surprise when i saw nico’s face on the devils roster, my mystery man finally identified.

and all the time i’m asked by those around me (mostly the men) “what in the world got you so into hockey? and a team from new jersey at that?”

of course, no matter my response they all just assume it’s because of their looks, but how do you explain the abundance of feminine love and comfort that sits within you for a sports team of grown men, to a man? so i just laugh and go on, telling them i just liked the ‘good vibes’ of their social media videos.

but they won’t ever get it.

they don’t see the way i look forward to coming home from work every day during the season to watch a game. whether the day was good, or bad, or just okay. i know that there’s always that one good thing to be excited about. win or lose.

they don’t see the joy i experience when they win. i always celebrate in some way, even when i’m alone in my bedroom. a little victory dance, an air high five to my tv (if you read this no you didn’t 💔), a text to one of the various friends this sport has brought me.

but of course, they don’t see the friends i’ve gained from hockey. i know there’s some taboo-ness surrounding the idea of friends on the internet, but what else are you supposed to do when you were a teenage girl in the 2010s, where social media was everyone’s main source of communication (and still is). the world is so much more joyous when you can bond with strangers over common interests, no matter where you’re placed in the world. and duh, we all have common sense and know when someone isn’t who they say they are. we are professionals at this, after all.

they choose not to see the depth and layers to sports that so many of us are able to see. they don’t understand that sports aren’t a just a collection of wins and losses. they’re not just a database of stats. they’re these players lives. it’s something these people have worked so hard for —sacrificed for— since they were kids. they don’t hold the same compassion that we do for bad days or bad plays.

they don’t see the appeal of liking multiple teams, not understanding the joy in the fact that each team has something different to offer. it’s always black and white to them. you like one team, and hate all the rest. but, where’s the joy? where’s the joy missed out on in being able to discover and study a whole new roster? where’s the joy in only consuming content about one team? cause me personally, i find a lot of joy in witnessing the nuances of a team other than my own. i find joy in learning the history and traditions of different fanbases.

they don’t see the way that this sport has carried me through the first major loss of my adult life. the fact that when everything felt so wrong and dismal, the only thing to put a smile on my face was this silly game with its silly guys. it was something to be excited about on a day full of goodbyes and grieving. it was a distraction from the reality of the world around me.

so yeah, i’m sure when they see that i’m suddenly obsessed with a sport with large, fit men, they’re gonna chalk it up to the fact i just like looking at them. but they don’t see everything i see when i look at the sport of hockey as a whole.

and maybe i’m just being dramatic and too caught up in my own head, but there was something in me that just needed to write this down. organize it. and maybe you don’t care, but maybe you do.

but my love letter to hockey will always be ongoing, incomplete, and open-ended. because there’ll always be a new season to watch, new players to show love. i will always find new things to love about the sport, every game watched peeling back another layer to be observed.

but for today, i’ll go through and scroll on social media, consuming all the content i can while waiting for the game tonight. then i’ll put on my jersey, sit in my room, and watch. i’ll enter that bubble once again and live in a world only consumed by hockey for a few hours. and when the game is over, win or lose, i’ll carry the joy and comfort of the game with me into whatever tomorrow brings, ready to do it all over again.

Chapter 22 just had me screaming, rolling, "aw"ing and gave me butterflies, and I just have so much to saayyy!! I love how it just focused on every Mikaelson sib, bringing out deep parts of them, some deeper than others. Each wonderful part made me think so many different stuff that I wanted to share with you, so I thought I'd send you my thoughts in 2 parts; the first (this one) being about the sibs, and the other focusing on Nik and Elijah CUZ YOU JUST TRIGGERED SO MANY FEELINGS WITH THAT CHAPTER.

First, can I say that I loved every bit of her interaction with Finn? I watched this season when I was very young - I was like 11 or 12 years old, I think, and I never got to rewatch it, so I never just thought of Finn on a deep level. So, it just hit me how he was actually not the eldest - cuz of Freya - but he suddenly found himself the eldest when he lost his protector and playmate, his older sister. Knowing Mikael, he probably put a lot of responsibility on the boy... Or just ignored him entirely if he had reminded him of Freya. Then, more sibs kept coming, taking more of Finn's space... Meaning it just got "loud" (Mikael's abuse, Esther cheating, Elijah and Nik fighting over Tatia, Henrick's death, so many younger sibs to look out for but he couldn't protect them from anything really) 🥺💔 It must have hurt him so much to be daggered and shunned by his siblings, because he was the only one who actually knew and remembered when they used to be a healthy family before Freya was taken. Aaand I can see how he could still tell Reader "you're peculiar" when he sees her in New Orleans! It could just be their thing. I will die inside when both Finn and Sage died. Probably the way I should have felt when I first watched the episode, buuutt I was 12, so I didn't really feel anything to them.

Also, it really came to my attention how you wrote that Theo was chatting Rebekah's ear off, and she way just smiling at him, and I couldn't help but tell mysef that he probably reminded her of her baby Henrick. 🥺 I love that when Reader said "he probably has a tracker on me", Bekah went "girrrll, they probably both have trackers on you, your bro, your car and any potential car you might ever think of stealing" because Bekah knows how far they can go, and we know she knows. 😂 I love their bond and how natural their friendship is, Pukey can deny that all she wants, but their friendship is just so easy. But I can totally imagine Theo trying to hook Bekah up with Matt.

Kol, this chapter, was the polar opposite of Finn. But let's face it, he was obviously the nonchalant middle sibling back when they were human - Esther and Mikael had probably forgotten they even conceived him, so he felt he won at life (which he did). Having spent centuries making friends with witches and caring about magic to use against Lijah and Nik before he was daggered, was probably why he didn't know a thing about anxiety. I can understand how he and Theo might not like each other, because it so makes sense. Kol trying to kill Theo's boy, Jeremy, so Theo not liking Kol... That, I can totally understand. In addition to that, we have a saying in my dialect "A bean wouldn't get wet in their mouth" which refers to the inability of a person to keep a secret as in "oh, they spit secrets out so quickly and easily that a bean can be spit out just as fat so it wouldn't even get wet in their mouth". That was the only thing going through my mind as he told her what was supposed to be Elijah and Klaus' secret.

This brings me to my favourite brother, though! Not a Mikaelson brother, but a brother, nonetheless! The best brother, might I add? Theo, our diva queen, just glowed this chapter. I love how lrotective he is, and how his personality just showed. Our bro doesn't know how to back down even when Kol was up in his face. I adore how he only listens to two people: his boy, Jer, and his real mom, his older sister. He really reminds me of Molly from Alice in Wonderland. He just keeps waving an imaginary sword around, threatening everyone, but as soon as Pukey tells him to shoo, he shoos.

Now, let us discuss Pukey's older brother from another father and mother, Damon Salvatore! He is her brother, and I will stand by that to my last breath. As soon as I read-

"Pukey, we're leaving." Damon's tone was harsh, but something in his eyes made my heart tug.

-I instantly remembered the chorus of My Demons by Starset.

"We are one and the same

You take all of the pain away.

Save me if I become my demons."

He was sad and reckless and just wanted to leave, yet seeing how worn out she probably looked, he knew she wanted to leave just as much as he did. And even when he was acting stupid, he reached out to her. He's her brother - the uncle of any babies she might have with Nik and adopt with Elijah. He's simply her platonic soulmate.

STOP I LOVE THIS.

I’m so glad this chapter was able to bring so many thoughts and emotions out for you

Finn definitely deserved better!!!

grief is just unexpressed love💔

pairing : charles leclerc x platonic fem! aston martin driver reader, platonic fem!driver reader x f1 grid

summary : everyone knew how tough being the youngest on the f1 grid could be. but only few understood what it felt like to grieve someone during a grand prix weekend.

warnings : mentions of minor character death, mentions of illness, slight mention of herve leclerc, slight mention of jules bianchi, angst, argument between mother and daughter, manipulating mother, manipulated mother

a/n : this was a request from an anon and whilst i loved the original request, i decided to tweak it slightly so to whoever requested this, sorry it's taken this long and i hope you enjoy it! flynn drives for aston martin alongside lance and fernando has moved to kick sauber alongside zhou (sorry valtteri!) and her race number is 19!

a/n : readers name is flynn like mentioned in anon's request and some things about the race, f1 and f1 academy may be explained incorrectly <3

death anniversaries were never easy, no matter what number it was, ease was not in the oxford dictionary under the word grief nor was it the definition either. unfortunately, formula one driver, flynn l.n was new to the term of grief and she wished she had been better prepared for it. it was the one year anniversary of the death of her beloved father and it was also the italian grand prix in monza. and she wasn't sure how to feel about it. however, there was one person in particular who was close with flynn that did know a lot about grief and what it felt like. and that was her best friend, fellow formula one driver, charles leclerc.

and because of this being the first anniversary without her dad and a grand prix happening at the same time, charles was conscious in making sure he was keeping a watchful eye on flynn. making sure that she was as okay as she could be and that if she needed anything and he means anything, that she knew he was right there to help her. however, it was clear to everyone, not just charles, that the one thing that flynn wanted more than anything was the one person that she could never bring back and see ever again. and that was the last thing she remembered shouting at her mother when the mother and daughter were arguing over flynn's wishes of returning back to racing so soon after the bereavement.

six months after the death

the shouting was endless between mother and daughter. shaking the house, for a moment or two, onlookers to the fight thought that the house would cave in on them if they continued to shout this loud. flynn and her family had just gone through the worst thing any family could go through. flynn's father henri ln had unfortunately died due to a very long and debilitating brain tumour that rendered him back into the mental state of an infant. it was devastating and whilst henri could barely communicate in his last few days, he still managed to have enough strength to communicate to his formula one driver daughter that she wasn't allowed to stop racing. even after his death, he basically forbade her to stop and if she did stop racing, he made sure to let her know that if he was able to, he'd make sure that decision would be the worst decision she could ever make before she was ready to stop driving. and if she did stop, he would find every possible way to haunt his daughter. those were his own words by the way, and some of the last words he ever spoke as well before the end of his life. and that death bed conversation that flynn and henri had was the base of the current argument between flynn and her mother helene.

it infruiated flynn that her mother couldn't understand the reason why she wanted to return back into racing so quickly after the loss of her father. henri had managed to stay alive right until the final race of the season, abu dhabi, and just before winter break started, marking the end of the season that had just gone on. meaning training for the 2024 season was about to start in bahrain and that was what helene was fuming about. that flynn could even think about going back into training so soon even though helene was certain that her team back at aston martin would be ever so understanding in regards to the bereavment and they were. however, there was no way that flynn was going to disrespect her father's literal dying wish and not race just because of this argument she was in the middle of with her mother. especially when flynn knew that helene hated that her daughter was a formula one driver and not doing a more 'feminine' job like a waitress or gymnast.

"...flynn, why don't you understand my side of this?" helene sighs, her voice sore from all the screaming as her hand brushed against her hallowed out face

"i do, mum, i really do understand your point in this argument. however, do you understand my side of this whole argument?" flynn sighed, her voice also slightly irritated from the yelling as helene shrugged her shoulders and shook her head - she really couldn't comprehend why her daughter would still want to race only six months after the death of her father

"okay fine, no i don't get it! i don't understand how you could even think about wanting to put yourself into a car after the loss of your father, flynn! so tell me, enlighten me flynn as to why you feel like it's okay for you to fly to bahrain for pre-season training after only six months after losing your father because i want to know! i want to know how you can still be a formula one driver even after everything that's happened!" helene huffed out, her voice exasperated as flynn sighed as well, her hands clenched tightly

"i know you weren't present when this happened mum, but one of the very last conversations i was blessed to have with dad, he requested that his last dying wish was for me to keep on racing, even after his death. and that if i didn't, it would be the worst mistake of my life because he knows that just because of he's dead, that shouldn't send me into early retirement. he knows that i've still got so much left in me that if i was to stop racing now that he's gone, that it would be a waste of everything i went through as a kid all for it to end just because he's dead. and i promised him, mum, i gave him my word that after he took in his last breath days later that i would keep to my word and i would keep on racing! and now, i know you've never liked the fact that this is my job, and please don't lie to me because i'll never forget how many times dad had to force you just to come to a race of mine! but when it was in regards to one of my brothers or best friends that were boys, you jumped at the chance to watch a race. as well as all the other small things you did in the way of little snide comments and hiding my simulator so i couldn't train! so i know you don't like it that your daughter is a formula one driver and you no longer have to lie to dad and pretend that you enjoy it now that he's gone, you can shout to the rooftops how much you hate it that i'm so successful in my specific job! you can whine and cry that i'm not in a job that's more 'feminine' but it's time you suck it up and you either support me wholeheartedly and come to my future races this season or you don't suck it up and you don't support me ever again from this day forwards. i say this because i am sick of you and your manipulations in trying to get me to leave my dream job and into a job that you want me to do just because it's 'safer' and because it'll make you happier!" by the end of flynn's explanation, there was no way that helene could argue with anything that her daughter said to her

it was very true that helene hated that her daughter was a formula one driver rather than in a sport that was dominated more by women than men. and don't get it twisted into helene looking out for her daughter because it's nothing like that. helene wasn't looking out for her daughter at all, whenever henri wasn't watching and flynn was about to begin sim training or anything in regards to karting or motorsport, helene would try to hide the simulator. just so flynn couldn't train and practice as if helene's sabotage would stop flynn from continuing what she really wanted to do. because it didn't, flynn would always end up finding where her mum attempted to hide her simulator and after the girl was finished with it, she'd store it in a secret cupboard in her father's office just so helene could't find it and attempt to hide it again.

sighing, helene knew she couldn't lie to her daughter especially after being exposed like this so, she didn't, "okay, flynn, you're 100% right. in everything you've just said. including your father's dying wish and i shouldn't have yelled at you for wanting to honour that. and i am also sorry at the way i've tried so hard to sabotage you and tried to continously force you into a dream job that was never yours but always mine from the beginning of this journey. when i was growing up, i had visions of what kind of mother i would be depending on whether i was getting a boy or a girl. if i was to have a boy, i always invisioned him being like his father, a motorsport racer and everything adventurous. something that father and son could bond over whilst mother and son bond over other things. if i was to have a girl, i always invisioned her being like me, an olympic gymnast--"

"--you never made the olympics, mum..." flynn sighed, interrupting her mum, exhausted at her mum's lousy excuse

"...no, i know flynn but, still! that was my biggest dream as a kid, i was a great gymnast, it was just an injury that destroyed that olympic gymnast dream for me. which was why if i was to have a little girl that i'd want her to continue that dream for me..." helene trailed off as she realised just how wrong and sour that sounded in her mouth

whilst she had these dreams and hopes for her future children, she always said that she never wanted to live vicariously through them like some parents do. and, only now did she just realise that's exactly what she had done for all of her children as they grew up. because it wasn't all of her sons that became motorsport drivers or all of her daughters that became olympic gymnasts. in fact, only one out of four of helene and henri's boys were motorsport drivers, the other three stopping after trying karting and not enjoying it, enjoying mens gymnastics better and pursuing that as their job instead. and the same happening with helene and henri's girls, only one of four girls becoming an olympic gymnast whilst the other three went into the motorsports world professionally. flynn however, the only one that continued as a driver, the other three girls going in as strategists and engineers.

and it was clear to flynn that helene finally realised just how awful and skewed those words were when she finally heard them, "...hearing yourself say those words sounds weird, doesn't it mum?" flynn asks as helene can't help but nod her head as flynn smiles out the corner of her mouth

"i'm sorry, flynn. for everything and i mean everything. you didn't deserve to be treated that way from me all because you didn't want to become an olympic gymnast but rather a formula one driver. you deserved to have support and a mother telling you that you're amazing and that you can do anything and everything you put your mind to. and quite honestly, i would love it if you'd let me go to a grand prix weekend with you. i'd love to see you race and i would also love to see your three sisters but only if you'd let me because i know in the past when you have invited me, it hasn't always ended well..." helene trailed off as that took flynn by surprise - her mum wasn't a horrible person intentionally, she just grew up differently with parents that didn't like change in regards to women playing sports alongside men and other stereotypes in regards to gender

smiling, flynn nodded her head, "i'd love it if you came to see a race, mum. and thank you very much for apologising and i also want to apologise for my part in the argument as well, i shouldn't have raised my voice and used dad as a scapegoat, it was wrong of me and i--"

"--flynn, you have nothing to apologise for, including your part of the argument because i was the one that started it, you just finished it and you finished it in the correct way. you were telling the truth the entire time whereas i was not. i was only saying the things that i was manipulated into believing were gospel. in the same way i was manipulated by my own mother, i manipulated you and i never meant to do that. i was manipulated into finding formula one or any motorsport to be too dangerous and not something i find amazing. because growing up, i loved watching formula one, it was something i did with my own father and grandfather every single race weekend. but it wasn't until the loss of my grandfather that my mum finally felt like she was able to truly say how she felt about it. saying that it was destroying my brain and that i shouldn't be enjoying a sport that's only meant for boys...after that, i never watched a grand prix after that until i met your dad..." helene trailed off as flynn relaxed and she just listened to her mother explain how she too was manipulated by her own mother

"...when i met your dad, he was a rally driver at the time and it was then, when i finally left mum and dad's place that dad and i, alongside your father, would start to watch races again without my mum ever finding out. then, she found out after our wedding and once again, forbade me from even thinking and talking about motorsports. so when you and the kids were growing up and going karting, that's why your dad sometimes had to force me to attend, especially when it was one of your races, because my mum made me believe that i hated the sport with a passion when really it was her own genderphobic view of women shouldn't be watching and consuming male-dominated sports," helene huffed as flynn shook her head in shock - never realising just how awful her own grandmother was, no wonder why she and her siblings never saw her

present day

thankfully after that argument six months after the loss of henri, helene and flynn forgave one another. and since then, the mother-daughter relationship had never been better. and just like they agreed on, helene accompained her daughter for the first three races of the season before she had to fly back to her hometown for work. since helene was an anaesthetist at her local hospital, she could only get so many days off from work. thankfully she had more than three days off but she wanted to make sure she could still make it to their hometown race as well as the last race of the season at abu dhabi. and because of that, helene and flynn were apart from each other on the one-year anniversary of henri's death.

but, just because helene couldn't be with her daughter physically, didn't mean she still couldn't look after her. so, that was why charles was keeping an eye on flynn the entire race weekend. helene had very sweetly asked the monegasque to keep a watchful eye on flynn. since it was the one year anniversary of henri's death and a race weekend all crammed into the one and she wanted to make sure that flynn could handle it all. and of course, charles was happy to assist his best friend's mother's request especially when he knew why helene had asked him specifically. it wasn't new that charles and the leclerc family had also gone through tragedy which included the devastating death of charles' father, herve leclerc, in 2017. so, helene felt comfortable knowing that if flynn did want to race on her father's one-year anniversary, that she at least had someone alongside her that understood her pain and her grief.

similar to basically every driver on the grid, charles and flynn grew up together. the l.n's and the leclerc's were tightknit friends, alongside the bianchi's and gasly's that those four families did everything together. but charles and flynn were inseperable. where charles was, flynn was never too far behind and where flynn was, charles was never too far behind. arthur & lorenzo leclerc and pierre gasly included in that mix as well. so when the news came out about the deaths of jules, herve and henri, it was devastating to those four families. however, the only positive that came out of those devastations were that the families didn't grow apart from one another, they grew closer and more tightknit. and that was what helene knew that her daughter needed this weekend. flynn needed to feel that feeling.

the entire weekend leading up to the race, flynn was feeling pumped up and excited. the season for her so far had been going amazingly well. whilst the aston martin had been working splendidly for her and giving her podiums and points, it hadn't been doing the same for her teammate, lance. and now that they were at the italian grand prix, all flynn and her team at aston martin wanted was a win. whether that was with lance or flynn, they just wanted a win. however, because lance hadn't been getting podiums and in the points like flynn had, they let both drivers know that for this race weekend, flynn was the priority because she had the bigger gap and the biggest chance of getting that podium/win. and, when talked about, lance had no arguments and argued that if anyone deserved to win the monza grand prix this year that it was flynn. everyone on the grid knew about henri's one-year death annviersary being during the race in monza and every single driver in every single team had the same argument as lance did. not that they were all just gonna give up and not fight for a win, if it all came down to who had the fastest car and got first place, every single driver on that grid wanted it to be flynn.

and, from what it looked like, it seemed as though everyone was getting their wish. flynn and her aston martin were flying through the monza circuit like a lightening bolt, she was driving so fast. the gap between first and second was astonishing that by this point, there was no way the current world champion and current second place driver, max verstappen, was going to match that let alone close the gap between him and flynn. so, he didn't and neither did third place driver, lando norris. charles leclerc and carlos sainz only just missing the podium with fourth and fifth places respectfully.

however, the second the girl got the radio call that she was in first place and won her first ever grand prix, it didn't give her the same joy she imagined it would have. maybe driving a grand prix on her father's anniversary wasn't the best idea for future races. parking her car in the parc femme in front of the first place placard suddenly felt strange to her. sure, it wasn't the first time she had ever won a race in motorsport, she was a formula renault champion but, this was the first time she had won in formula one. the big big leagues and it was on the one day that was the worst day of her life one whole year ago.

"...well done baby girl, flynn, that is first place! what an amazing race you had today, we are so proud of you for your maiden win in formula one at team 19! and i am absolutely certain that your father is smiling down on his baby girl right now! you can now do your slow lap to first place! once again, that is first place, flynn!" davide, flynn's radio engineer crackles over her car radio as the girl can barely crack a smile

"grazie davide! grazie ragazzi, it truly was a fantastic race and, happy to finally get my maiden win here at monza!" flynn tries to sound upbeat but when she doesn't, no one crucifies her since they all knew why she wasn't

by the end of the race, she's so exhausted and grief-stricken that she can barely get out of her car before she collapses next to her car. but, thankfully lando and max were right next to her immediately so she didn't completely collapse to the floor next to her car. max and lando helping her take off her helmet and balaclava, flynn's eyes fill with tears. she had never been treated so carefully and with love by any other teammates like she had with her f1 grid.

"...congratulations schatje! you just won your first ever race!" max's voice was soft, not loud and joyful like it usually was when they podium together and flynn appreciated that

hugging max back before pulling away, lando wrapped his arms around the girl as she, like she did with max, burrowed her head into lando's shoulder. she really didn't want to cry during this race but she couldn't help the tears that welled in her waterline and she hadn't even weighed herself or gone through any of the pre-race interviews or the cooldown room or the podium or press conference. lando comforted her to the best of his abilities but he knew he was way out of his wheelhouse and if only charles was able to be here with them.

however, flynn and lando couldn't hug forever so, finally they pulled out of the hug and got themselves weighed before being interviewed before having to leave for the cooldown room and podium ceremony.

"...walking over to us is our winner of the monza grand prix, aston martin's flynn l.n! flynn, i can only imagine what you've been going through this week only for it to be doubled by getting your maiden win so, please, how do you feel?" nico rosberg is her interviewer as flynn tries to crack a small smile for the former mercedes driver

"hello nico and thank you so much, umm, yeah, this weekend...this weekend has been a whirlwind of emotions for me and the family for sure! but, i'm just satisfied that me and team 19 were able to pull out a win for aston martin but also a maiden win for me which is also pretty monumental as well," flynn smiled, her teeth grited when she felt herself getting emotional as nico could only smile softly

"we all know that unfortunately, a year ago today you lost your beloved dad, henri and now, you've just gone out and won your first ever grand prix on his anniversary. do you feel as though you had your dad with you since we all know what a talented rally driver he was," nico questioned as flynn couldn't help the smile again, she loved talking about her father and every single interviewer this week had been so respectful in regards to mentions of her father

"yes, losing our dad was devastating and, the fact that it's already been a year is mindblowing, time has gone by so quickly yet so slowly at the same time it feels like it just happened yesterday. and, i fully believe that my dad is with me in everything i do, not just formula one but, he is definitely a stronger presence when i'm in the car on the track for sure. and yeah, my dad was a rally driver for the longest time and, it's only been very recently that me and my brothers and sisters have seen the videos that are online of him rally driving. so, yeah, it's been very cool seeing how well he is in a car only for him to have four of his daughters in the motorsport world, one of them a driver and the other three engineers and strategists!" flynn took in a shaky breath as she felt her wall she had built up to finish the grand prix weekend begin to crumble - nico noticing and letting her leave so she could "celebrate"

"that's beautiful, flynn! well, once again, big congratulations to you and the fantastic race you just had and, i'll let you go and celebrate in the cooldown room before the podium ceremony!" nico finishes as flynn smiles, her eyes thanking the former driver as nico discreetly gives her a wink as she walks away - max the next driver to be interviewed

🥀

the top three, flynn, max and lando had made it to the cooldown room, watched some of the highlights of the race before they had to be called for the podium ceremony. by this point, all of the walls that flynn had built up were gone and it was only a guess to the moment that her dam breaks and it floods. flynn was on the verge of crying the entire podium ceremony and it was very clear by the look on her face that she was exhausted and that she just didn't want this win nor did she want this trophy if it meant her dad was never going to see it in his daughter's trophy cabinet. yet, she knew she couldn't just run off so she didn't. she stayed the whole time except, max and lando got the memo that it wasn't the moment to be spraying and dousing the three of them in champagne so, they didn't. they just very calmly drunk the alcoholic drink out of the bottles before all three of them gently chucked the bottles to people in their respective teams; aston martin, red bull and mclaren. and then, after the podium ceremony finished, they walked off and now it was just time for one last media thing before they could finally leave for the evening. and that last thing was the winners press conference.

and the entire time during the press conference, it was clear that flynn's mind wasn't at the press conference but elsewhere. it was clear that she didn't want to be there but had to because she knew she couldn't say she was unwell. although, the fia should allow drivers that are grieving to have the opportunity to pass on media, they didn't. they only allowed exemptions if the driver was sick and needed to visit medical for them to be exempt from media duties. so, because of that, flynn was sat in the middle of max verstappen and lando norris at the winners press conference at the italian grand prix at monza.

"...flynn, it has been mentioned a couple of times during the weekend that today is a difficult day for you and your family. if i may ask since i'm curious, what was it inside of you that made you have the strength to get into that car today and drive the way you did and achieve your maiden win?" a woman's voice came out from what was like the third row as flynn's head shot up as she found the face to the voice that had spoke up

"yeah, this whole weekend, not just today has been difficult but, especially today. it's been a year without my dad and, it feels like i'm still struggling to breathe and get up in the morning. so, to answer your question about what was it inside of me that gave me the strength to get into my car and drive all the way to my maiden win is a question i struggle to answer. because, in all honesty, i have no clue! it was truly supernatural because the entire race, i felt like i was watching myself in the car the entire time so, yeah, i have no idea what came over me to have what happened happen," she responded, her voice shaky as she placed the microphone back on the couch as max and lando watched her carefully

since charles obviously couldn't be at the press conference, he had asked max and lando to keep an eye on her whilst he went back to her hotel room and waited for her there. he knew that flynn typically stayed in her hotel room alone since her sisters who were strategists and engineers for other teams, had their own rooms on an upper floor to her. and, he knew that she wouldn't be okay on her own and he just wanted to make sure someone could take care of her considering helene couldn't be there with her.

🥀

finally, it felt like flynn could breathe. she had made it back to her hotel and was just about to grab her hotel key to unlock her room. that was until charles could sense that she had finally made it back and opened the door for her. shocking the grieving girl, flynn was spooked.

"...charlie? what...what are you doing in my hotel room?" flynn asked as she walked in before shutting the door immediately behind her

"you're not okay, flynn, you haven't been the entire day. you've not once been able to just stop working and pretending. you've been go go go the entire weekend and i think it's finally time you just let go..." charles trailed off as flynn shook her head as her hands rubbed her face

"...no, charlie, i can't do that, not right now! i still have to facetime mum and let her know how the race went and that i got my maiden win and i just need to do so many other things that i just can't right now. i need to do so much, charlie, i--"

"--no, you don't need to do so much, flynn! i'm sure helene already knows that you won your first race and she's bursting with excitement but doesn't want to overwhelm you right now so she's going to settle with a simple congratulatory text for now. there is nothing else that you need to do right now except for relax and do absolutely nothing! you even said it in the press conference that you still struggle to get up out of bed in the morning and breathe everyday. and you know what, i felt the exact same way after my dad died! it hurts losing your dad, flynn and you don't have to keep on wearing yourself thin just because you don't want to put yourself through the truth that it really has been a year and that he's never coming back..."

"...you don't have to be strong all the time, flynn. i was distraught when i won the f2 feature race days after losing my dad! and similar to you, it was as though it was a supernatural being that posessed me into winning because i simply couldn't believe that the strength i had to win that race was my own and that it was human strength! but, trust me when i tell you just how much i cried privately after that when there were no cameras watching me and i was all on my own. i cried for hours most likely because i was told by everyone around me that i didn't have to be strong all the time. so please, flynn, don't just bottle it up inside of you because you don't want to deal with it. the longer you leave it bubbling inside of you, the worse it'll be when the stick breaks..." charles was begging as flynn was struggling to stay strong all because of how true she knew charles' words were

she knew he was telling the truth. of course he was cause like he mentioned, he had been through the exact same thing as flynn. maybe not in the fact that she drove and won a race days after but it was still considered too soon by people online that flynn was driving again after only six months at the time when it was pre-season testing at bahrain.

"...charlie, please, don't do this, not right now!" flynn pleaded, trying to stay in control even though it was clear her hold was breaking

whilst charles didn't say anything to that, he didn't need to. all he had to do for flynn to just feel and grieve was just to hug her. and properly hug her. whilst lando and max were the only other two that did give the girl hugs, they were at the peak of flynn being in control of her grief and emotions. whereas right now, as charles hugged her, she was no longer in control of her emotions and the dam just broke at its seams. and flynn just cried and cried and cried. they were loud, they hit charles in his gut and they were painful. it was physically painful as each sob left flynn's body leaving her with chest and bodily pain. it felt like she was on fire as charles held her tightly as he just let her cry. whilst he did stay silent for a little while, he wasn't silent the entire time. after a while of silence, charles did begin to whisper small comforts in french to flynn which step by step began to soothe the grieving girl and lulling her into relaxation. flynn then fell asleep, silent tears that streamed down her face drying and leaving streaks showing others the story of what had just occured.

however, whilst she did sleep, it wasn't for very long. maybe only a couple of hours before she woke up to an empty bed. charles had laid himself down next to her whilst she slept in a bid of making her feel safe and secure. and when she woke up and didn't see charles next to her, she freaked out. thankfully though, it didn't take her very long to notice that there was a light on in the bathroom and she could tell that that was where he had gone. not very far and that he would be back soon. so, she fell back asleep, well, she tried to but it wasn't working since she had gotten so used to charles being next to her that it felt foreign and too cold for her to fall asleep on her own.

so, in a bid to make the time of charles being in the bathroom go by quicker, flynn picked up her phone from the bedside table in the hotel room and went straight to her instagram. since she still hadn't made an anniversary post about her dad like others in her family had done, she thought that was what she was going to do to past time whilst waiting on charles to come back so they could fall back asleep together afterwards.

holy balls this was insane guys! so, i had already had the version before this one written but then i didn't like it, scrapped it entirely and then rewrote it into this masterpiece all in the same day! i think that was why i had writer's block, i didn't like the way i originally wrote it all that time ago when i first got the request so i scrapped it and started all over again! so to the anon that requested this, once again, i apologise for the time it's taken to have this come out but, i hope you love this as much as i did rewriting it after learning that i hated the original version!

ISAGI : Bye, Love you too !

[ camera pans back towards YN, struggling to keep it together ]

MAY 31st, Friday : The Day After

many, many, many people people were already estatic when it waa revealed that some of the BLLK players were or had been invited too the MET GALA as guests of honor so imagine their faces when everyone across the world waa telling them that one of these said players was flirting with the very beautiful YN. no really go on, imagine. thats right, they went ballistic. edits left and right, requesting interveiws from both sides, and lord the buckets of fanfics poured and dumped onto the already growing fanbase the BLLK players had. isagi specifically, alot comments were made about his attempt too be smooth.

"he was so adorable looking at her like that, wish someone would look at me that way..."

"and don't even get me started on YN and the way she was acting, all shy and cute like it wasn't her job to be talking to him. it was funny really."

"isagi is such a simp it's crazy, although it makes sense why someone would act that way–i'd be the same if i got a chnace to stand so close too YN"

that is only a snippet of what this oh so daring interview had to offer. interviews with the whe team ( coming soon ) revealed that not just ISAGI had eyes for our precious interviewee. but enough about that, back too YAGI or ISAN ( ship name, deal with it ) something we couldn't forget, and I quote.

YN : AKKAKAK— [ fake cough ] yeah, that'd be great—I'll see you around probably [ =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) ] ! Love you, bye !

ISAGI : Bye, Love you too !

how crazy is that? like I said, the edits go crazyyyyy.

an's. shhhh, noooo, shuuush I don't have bigger responsibilities than finishing this....events?? whats tht???

HI IHAVE SOME SCIENCE CLUB HEADVANONS I WANT TO SHARE!!! all of my friends on discord is still asleep, 💔

err first off this is how I draw them.... this was a quick and lazy sketch ok any ways let me share the headvanons

Meka loves to make small test robots in the science club when she's bored. the robots sometimes jump scares the other members

the four of them likes to discuss random things while Kaga focuses on his work. he sometimes joins in the discussion if he wants to.

Horo sometimes teases Yaku about the things he did last year

Horo, Yaku and Meka are the closest since they both have similar interests.

The four of them sometimes comes to Kagas home to help Kaga build something.............. something that he needs for his upcoming plans........... 😈(wolrddomination)

Horo and Meka are considered to be the most good looking in their club

Horo is probably the third most good looking guy in Akademi (since he got into the news, girls probably started screaming over him about his looks...........)

Yaku is the most talkative in the club

Kaga is the quietest in the club due to him focusing on his work instead of talking (buddy wants to focus on his plans instead!!! 😭)

Even MORE games for alterhumans!! Just like the last one, these are all games where you play as an animal, but this time they aren't all super realistic!! A few of these cost money, indicated by a "$" next to the title, but all of them are free on the last list!!

Animal jam [Play Wild!]: Starting off this list with another BANGER as of today, AJPW updates monthly, with a new animal, pet, and den in every update! AJPW released in 2015, 5 years after the classic version! The game is super active and likely always will be, and there's no singleplayer option, but there's no requirement to interact with others to play.

Playable Animals: [every update animal leaves shop with the next update, so im only listing the ones that do NOT rotate.] Choose between Monkey, Bunny, Wolf, Fox, Tiger, or Panda as your first animal, and buy the Arctic Wolf, Horse, Lion, Lemur, Snow Leopard, Arabian Horse, and Eagle later on with your sapphires!

Customizability: you can customize every animal's fur colour, special pattern, eyes, and accessories to your liking!! The wide range of accessories lets every player have their own unique look!!

Rating: I give it a 10/10! I've played AJPW since 2018 and i dont think ill ever quit..

Dungeon Dogs: Dungeon Dogs is an idle rpg released in 2020 by Pocapp Studios, with tons of dogs to collect and battle with!! It's entirely singleplayer, and im not quite sure how often it updates 😓

Playable Animals: Dogs!

Customizability: With accessories, coats, and pets you unlock upon leveling up, you can customize your dog to look however you'd like!

Rating: 10/10, i like the events and silly main story, and it's fun watching my little team of dogs beat up bears and leopards.

Castle Cats: Another singleplayer idle rpg released in 2017 by the creators of Dungeon Dogs!! Again unsure of how often it updates 😓

Playable Animals: Just cats!!

Customizability: Just like Dungeon Dogs, you can entirely customize your cat's fur, accessories, and pets upon leveling up!

Rating: 9/10, It's still silly and fun, I just prefer the art on Dungeon Dogs more 💔💔

$ - Shelter 2: Take care of your four cubs as you fight to survive the wilds. Hunt for them, defend them from predators, and watch them grow up. Released in 2015 by Might and Delight, it's a VERY pretty game <3

Rating: 10/10!! I love the style, and causing chaos with my devsprint is super fun !!

$ - WolfQuest [Anniversary Edition]: Released in 2019 by Eduweb, Wolfquest 3 is a pretty realistic wolf game !!!! This version is a lot nicer than the original, and the creators still update it! It even has a multiplayer option!! The main goal is to raise and protect your pups, but you can do whatever you want!!

Playable Animals: Wolf!

Rating: 10/10!! SUCH a pretty game !! I have a black wolf who is like 8 [ingame] years old..

Okay I’ve finally caught up on Act01 of Arcane S2 and I HAVE THOUGHTS (under the cut)

I noticed slight differences in the opening for each ep so of course now I’m gonna have to watch the intro closely on every ep whee

Speaking of the opening (and each episode general opening as well), really digging all the theatre homages and also the whole vibe of watching a play in this act. Like I saw people were annoyed with the opening musical numbers at the start of every episode but to me they came across very much like watching a play or musical on stage? Like when you come back from intermission and there’s a musical number to bring you back into the world of the play? Am I cooking with that thought there?

Anyway

Oh, Vi. My poor pookie. My sweet sad pathetic wet cat. I wish I could say things are going to get better for you but I don’t see that happening anytime soon 💔

(You look fucking great though)

Caitlyn. Very much digging her descent in this act as she follows her grief and pain down into becoming the person she didn’t want to be in season one. Very nice. That said - I have a question on those final moment in ep03 and I’m wonder other people’s thoughts on them.

You see, as Ambessa pitches Cait as the new commander and we see Cait struggling whether or not to accept it - that’s when we get the flashbacks that confirm that Ambessa was the one to set up the attack on the memorial to stir up this civil war. My question is - did anyone else read this moment as Cait putting the pieces together and realising that this was Ambessa plan all along? Or are we just all supposed to assume it was for the audiences sake? Because the fact that it was delivered to us specifically when we were focused on Cait deciding to take the role felt like to me Cait figured Ambessa out, and that makes me curious as to what the dynamic in the following act will me.

But maybe I’m off base with that - what do other people think?

ANYWAY continuing! Really dig Jinx and Sevika teaming up in Silco’s absence. I was worried that Sevika would just be written out and forgotten after season one but very cool to see that she wasn’t

Just seeing tweets and stuff I think I was like one of the only people that didn’t hate Jayce in season one? Like I wouldn’t say I was his biggest fan but I still found him compelling as an idealist who lost his way when dragged into the politics of it all. Anyway continuing to dig him here, LOVE pairing him up with Ekko I think that was a genius move and very interested to see what happens with him investigating whatever’s going on with the arcane

Ekko continues to be my favorite but there was not enough of him in this act for my liking please give me more Ekko.

Interested to see where this stuff with Ambessa and Mel and the Black Rose is going and how it will tie into the greater story (also Mel’s magic! She totally has magic, right?). Don’t have much to say about it because we don’t know much yet but am interested (and very much enjoy that Ambessa is terrified of whatever’s going on)

Oh yeah also Victor’s here I guess

I’m so sorry Victor fans but I continue to not understand why people go apeshit for this man I simply do not find him that interesting

I have a few criticisms - mainly, pacing wise? Like if feels like there’s a) not the best sense of how much time is passing between moments/episodes and b) some kinda important pieces that are missing/were probably cut out from the script

Like mainly - Shield Man. Who was drinking with Vi then helped during the memorial attack then became an enforcer with Vi then left when things went all authoritarian - why do I only know him as Shield Man. I don’t recall ever learning his name, and it seems like if we’re going to have this little impact moment of him walking out of the room at the end of the last ep I should at least know his name and a little bit of his deal? I just feel like there was some important stuff that we just needed a little bit more detail on but was probably cut for time.

Same case for Isha. Not as much, because I feel like Isha is more there as a symbol for both Jinx and Vi and this whole conflict, but still like - I only know her name because it was in the subtitles describing her gasp at some point.

And yeah just general pacing seems like there was some connective tissue missing between some scenes and all that’s basically it.

And yeah!

Having a watch party for Act2 tomorrow yay!

[mantequillamcwhoremick]

Bunny anon again. Thank you for the response ❤️ Loved all the points you brought up. I was introduced to South Park through my best friend too, back in 2010 when I was 12. Little me was quickly drawn into Bunny because of the opposites attract concept and the cute fanart lol. And omg, Hollycomb… I was obsessed with their writing back then, and I remember reading The Scenic Route and anticipating new chapters.

If you feel like it, I welcome you to pick apart Going Native :) When that episode was first announced, I lost my mind LMAO.

YOU WERE 12?????? DUDE WHATTTT WHATT WERE YOU DOING WATCHING SOUTH PARK AT 12 GSHDVHSBS NOOOO

Okay whew anyways still mad impressive that you were THERE when The Scenic Route was being published and pre-Going Native Bunny as well lmao i feel honored being approached by a true south park veteran. I literally only started watching South Park this year, I wish I could've seen those season releases live as well. I bet that feeling must've been unmatched.

And god yeah HOLLYCOMB'S WRITING admittedly I haven't read much of their other works (I have yet to read the last chapter of The Scenic Route actually💔fake fan) but the way they write dialogue is something I wanna study under a microscope. It's so brief and effective, I literally could never shsvsshis I wanna know how to say so much in so little words too

And yeah, opposites attract is definitely a good way to describe Bunny bc they're opposites in the way Yin and Yang are; they compliment each other and thrive more when the other exists alongside them, but don't clash. But honestly it's true that one can't give enough credit to fanartists and the service they did to pull me down the rabbit hole as well, I think that might've been the first step for me too before anything else

Thank YOU so much for the ask and for letting me ramble. Don't hesitate to reach out off anon if you want lmao I'd love to drill you on fandom history if you've been here that long. I might pick apart Going Native's character writing in some other post🤭🤭🤭 it's a really random bomb they dropped only to never bring up Butters & Kenny's compatibility again, until off-screen in Post Covid. I don't think I could talk about Going Native without also talking about these boys' futures

🧡🧡🧡

I'll get my new sideline uniform for cheer next week because the season starts and...maybe Eddie reacting to that? Or accompanying me to cheer for me while I'm cheering? That's the dream 🖤

The cheerleader's cheerleader

Kiki!!🥰✨Okay, so I thought long and hard about this request, what to write and how to write it, and I think I finally got something worthy of the person who not only introduced me to Eddie Munson, but also coaxed me into watching Stranger Things and therefore introduced me to a comfort character and a comfort show in one hit!!💗I hope that you enjoy this. I did a lot of research on cheer; watched some videos, studied your DMs and tried to incorporate everything that I could, and I did my bestest!!! Thank you for everything, Kiki, you made this fandom my home and I'm so grateful for everything.🫂

Word count: 1, 150.

(It had to be this GIF, it had to be.🤣🥺My heart is aching, I miss him so much.💔)

SOME physical description given; reader is a flyer so they are explicitly described as being small. Kiki was absolutely in mind 100% when I wrote this so it’s very tailored to her. I hope others can enjoy it, though.

You had been quietly and impatiently waiting for your sideline uniform to be sent to you through the post; the cheerleading season started soon and that was all you were waiting on for your position as a flyer to become official. Somehow, the experience of getting to go back into cheerleading and your corresponding emotions became more real once you had the uniform in your hands, adorable hair ribbons included.

It was supposed to arrive this week and you couldn't have been more pleased, excited and nervous if you had tried. Eddie, if it was possible, was even more of everything than you were. The sweet boy was like a sponge, soaking up the atmosphere around you as you seemed almost to vibrate whenever you sat or stood still for an extended period of time. You reminded Eddie - and Uncle Wayne, when the plant let him have a rare night off - of himself, when he was in the throes of planning a new campaign. He would giggle to himself as he made contingency plans of contingency plans, come up with creative ways for his sheep's characters to get themselves out of the stick situations he threw them into, a shepherd tending to his flock even as he tortured them just a little, just enough to get them squirming in their seats and whispering wishes into hands cupped around many sided dice. He was a sadistic Dungeon Master and yet he experienced genuine happiness and excitement when he was bested, proud of his sheep and of his Hellfire boys.

And you, oh, you were a live wire. Cheer was the only sports you had ever enjoyed. It was one of your true callings in life, you could feel it deep in your bones. You had been given the position of a flyer due to your physical stature; you were small which meant that you could do backflips in the air, reach the top of the pyramid, be thrown around and receive the attention and admiration of an entire crowd of people. It was incredibly difficult, and it was a sport which Eddie had a lot of respect for. He never included cheerleaders in his anti-conformity canteen-table rants for a reason and that was because it was genuinely hard to be a cheerleader. It required so much practice, determination, passion and trust in the other cheerleaders. But shit like bastketball? Toss a ball into a basket and that was the extent of it... Eddie had no respect for that. None at all. Jocks weren't worth it, but cheerleaders? Eddie admired them.

You loved the thrill of being up in the air, of feeling the wind in your hair and seeing the gymnasium from an angle very few got to. It gave you an adrenaline high like nothing else, and Eddie loved the spark it put in your eyes.

"Hey, sweetheart?" Eddie came bounding around the corner of his bedroom, his dark curls brushing against the tops of his shoulders and his chocolate eyes soft with love for you. He was holding a package in his hands and you knew just from the smirk of your face what he was bringing you. "Look what I've got ~ " the gleeful sing song of his voice made you grin, the expression infectious as Eddie couldn't keep his own off his face. Oh, but you two were always feeding off each other's emotions and making any moment even more special between the two of you. You were so very similar, in many ways.

You loved cheer, you loved it, and you needed no prompting at all from Eddie to grab the package as you tore it open and your eyes consumed the first sight of your uniform, as your hands felt the material for the first time; tougher than usual thanks to the factory starch which was always put onto new clothes. Eddie's smile was still almost as wide as his face, threatening to split his cheeks in two as he watched you. You were so happy, squealing and expressing your excitement so viscerally that you weren't even fully aware of yourself, and the sweet man was simply enjoying your happiness and deriving his own from it. If you were the sunshine, then Eddie was the tallest sunflower, following you wherever you went for the pleasure of your warmth across his face.

"Go try it on, babe, go on," The upward lilt of Eddie's voice sounded a lot like when he was goading his sheep to make a decision during a tense moment in a campaign, and you were gone like a bullet from a gun, leaving Eddie staring after you with an ache in his chest.

When had the Dungeon Master become the cheerleader's cheerleader?

Thankfully, your unform fit with no problems and days passed, until finally, finally, it was the first day of the season. If Eddie had thought that you were excited before, when you received your uniform in the post, then it had nothing on what you were feeling right now. You had your feet firmly on the ground and yet it felt like you were already on the top of the pyramid, your lungs burning in your chest, your body working hard to keep you steady atop the others, your adrenaline high even higher than you. You were on cloud nine and Eddie was right there beside you, his hand tightly in yours, fingers interlocked.

"So, sweetheart," Eddie tooks his keys out of the ignition and turned to smirk at you, his hands reaching out in opposite directions; one sliding up from your knee where it had rested to wrap around your wrist, and the other grasping for the door handle. You should have known that what it looked like Eddie was doing, wasn't what he had planned. "You ready to do that, y'know," he mimed a very weak, silly imitation of cheerleading to make you giggle, "thing you do?"

Your voice was saturated with sunshine and laughter as you said, "you coming with me? That'd be a dream, Eddie." You cracked the passenger side door open but remained in your seat, wanting every second right beside Eddie. Oh, but you loved him so much that it put a solid ache in your chest.

Eddie leaned over the console between your seats to give you a lingering, tender kiss to your forehead as he murmured, "I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else. I promise." Something shifted in his chest as he said that. Something clicked into place for him, just as it had for you the day that you had signed up for cheer once again. Eddie remembered a few days ago when he had asked himself to recall when the Dungeon Master had also become the cheerleader's cheerleader?

But now he knew the answer. He could feel it in his bones...

... It was the day he had fallen in love with you.
