[niniissus]

This Jake is so 😭 I can't -😵‍💫 I'm on my knees 🧎🏻‍♀️

I'm saur down bad for this man 🫠

[pepprs]

[bruciemilf]

tim-liker here! :3 thank u for responding, i think i get ur point. i also am not partial to ppl treating him like he won the suffering olympics or smth bc everyone in that family suffered -- just in different ways. he did suffer a lot of losses all at once, but i think the point of his character is his tenacity to stick to the lifestyle -- arguably to his own detriment bc the things he did to cope...he tightropes the morally grey area like no one's business n tbh that's what makes me drawn to him. i guess nothing i say can make u like him but maybe i can try giving a new perspective...? i'm aware that some of his stans -- with good intentions or otherwise -- tend to blame bruce (who was depressed n mourning) for tim's hardships when he was robin, but i personally see him as the robin who was most fitting to work w/ bruce even when bruce was in that mental state, bc tim is the one most similar to bruce in the "headstrong, mission-driven, self-isolating" kind of way. welp idk if all that makes sense?🥲 but maybe what i'm rly getting to is i rly love ur bruce/batfam/(and bruharvey!!❤️💕) hcs so it's kind of sad that sometimes tim gets sidelined bc some of the takes on his character are...like that. anyways thank u again for replying!! sorry for rambling in ur inbox lol

That's more than understandable! I would love for Tim to be given the complexity he deserves, because you're right, I do think his moral ambiguity can be interesting. As long as it really IS ambiguous and fluctuates.

Moral ambiguity goes only as far as the person writing it and their own angle on morality in general, I think.

My definition of it is a person who understands the stakes, the sacrifices, the bad side effects, and how their decision impacts people around them. Because the grey part has to BE grey. Otherwise youre just writing a self aware asshole.

You don't have to be the hero, but you don't need to be a villain.

Tim, for me, is incredibly self-aware. He knows what's wrong with him just as well as he knows what's wrong with everyone else.

He's a perfectionist and he's self critical and he's goal driven to the point where people get hurt because of his emotional detachment and inability to comprehend that his decision have long term consequences.

But I don't think that's a red mark on HIM, because hey, everyone in the batfamily is like that. The fandom's problem is not understanding that there's no black sheep in a wolf pack.

i am extremely late to the sunders(?) fic ending i read it a while ago and couldn’t find it again but now 🥲 i have so many feelings about it. definitely not bad just pity and sympathy

gojo’s mom as terrible as she was, is clearly going through “the other woman” syndrome and is projecting that onto naomi who is a very on the fence about what she’s coaching her to do. i felt so bad i know she’s a rapist, like ew yucky!!! but also she’s just terribly misguided and also suffering from the other woman syndrome as despite her having the man she would’ve ended up just like gojo’s mom is they had gotten married.

gojo’s dad is the worst in my opinion. idk if i missed anything. did mom gojo trap him with the baby? 😭 if she did then he isn’t the worst but if she didn’t i have so feelings surrounding him bc… marrying a woman u don’t love and sticking through it for gojo and just saying she’s “just there” 😣 omg idk if i’m just a lover girl but i genuinely believe everyone should experience some type of reciprocal love in their life.

if they just decided to have a healthy co parenting relationship instead of slapping the marriage bandaid on their issues NONE of this would’ve happened! sorry this is so long but this is the first fic in a while to make me actually had deep thoughts and feelings. i didn’t really feel y/n as “me” more like another character.

moral of my talk? DO NOT DATE MEN WITH KIDS AND BABY MOMS!!!! they’ll break u 😭😭😢 again sorry this is so long i just needed to say something about this and my notes app is tired

satoru's mom definitely has something wrong w her😭 i feel she tried to turn naomi into someone like her so she doesn't feel too miserable abt her situation smh. naomi's definitely misguided, she was already blinded by her love for satoru and her pursuit of happiness and then satoru's mother made it worse by coaxing her to do something so terrible.

satoru's mom didn't INTENTIONALLY babytrap his father. what happened was she got pregnant and then she terrorized papagojo's ex wife into leaving. he tried to look for them but was denied and even told by his exwife's family to respect her choice. other than that, he can't really find her. so he thought that the least thing he could do for his remaining son is to give him a "proper" family :')) but it did more harm than good bc he can't even fully love satoru's mother. in the end, their problems manifested in their relationships

anywayyy i enjoyed reading this, and reading that you really saw yn as a character of her own makes me feel like i really created an individual w their own personality <3 thank you sm for your support~!!

Summary: Will James Bucky Barnes be able to take his nemesis at his word and join forces? The answer may surprise even the Avengers themselves.

A/N: After changing a lot of things, finally part 3 of this fic appears !!!! Your reactions are going to be worth gold with this chapter 🤭😂 the more I'm thinking the more I want to write 😗👀

P.S: you're going to be nutritionists too 👀 (sorry not sorry guys 😂)

I hope you like it 🤭

Tag: @ro-is-struggling @luciasimmer96 @aquanova99 @themorningsunshine @mads-weasley @alexsoenomel

If you wanna be tagged, feel free to tell me 🥺❤️

Warnings: angry reader - kilocalories (those bastards are the worst to calculate 🥲) - exams - stressed reader - fluffy Bucky - fatherly Tony

Tony: - without looking up - are you ready Barnes?

Bucky: Yeah - next to Sam - we're ready.

Tony: - putting his glasses aside - you sure you want to help, Wilson?

Sam: Absolutely.

Nat & Bruce: - walking in - we're ready too.

Bucky: Guys...

Nat: We heard everything - interrupting - we know what happened when Tony went on his way to the office.

Bucky: w... How what....

Bruce: - defending himself - it was Natasha's idea, not mine - backing away as the redhead gave him her trademark murderous look

Sam: Wait a minute - watching as the man with the prosthetic arm - so you know what he said?

Tony: What and who? - confused -

Nat: Y/N confessed his love for your nemesis.

Bucky: thank you very much Nat, you're a great help - sarcastically -

Tony: I don't understand - Putting the pieces together - Wait... Did she mean it? - incredulous - you're not kidding, are you?

Bruce: did Nat ever lie about something like that?

Tony: Well ....

Nat: - exasperated - the point is Bruce can say it's true and apparently Barnes already told Wilson. So... - shrugging her shoulders -

Tony's head started to fit everything together. Piece by piece. The times he found them sleeping draped and cuddled on the couch in the living room, the late night conversations in the cafeteria or the library (courtesy of F.R.I.D.A.Y.), the way they looked for each other with their eyes at every party he hosted, even when Bucky arrives from the missions! The poor girl almost fainted when she once saw him full of wounds!

Tony: s... Seriously... - looking slowly at Bucky - and you like her too...

The supersoldier sat looking at the collage, totally dejected. At that very moment he wanted to disappear from the face of the earth!!!!

Bucky: - quietly and looking at the collage - yeah

Tony: Do you like her? - asking as if to confirm what he heard.

Bucky: - almost shouting - Yes! Yes, I like Y/N, in fact I love her! - walking around the office - and I'd do anything to turn back time so I don't make her suffer! - agitated - I want her to be more than my best friend! I said it the day of the fight and I'm going to keep saying it!

Tony was more than satisfied with the confession he had just heard.  Smiling, he approached his nemesis, placing a hand on her shoulder.

Tony: I believe you - sincere - that's all I needed to hear.

Bucky: - looking at him in confusion and sadness - Tony...

Tony: I trust you, Barnes - taking the collage in Bucky's hands and looking it over carefully - as long as she's with you, nothing's going to happen to our girl.

Bucky: That's more than settled, Stark - looking at everyone - all right, you want to help us, don't you? - seeing that everyone was nodding - good. Everything we need to know is in that collage.

Sam: Everything?

Tony: yeah - showing it - from the environment, machine, crockery, furniture. Everything.

Bruce: And how do we go about getting all that?

Nat: the right question would be how do we do this without Y/N suspecting something?

Tony: I don't know, but we'll make her dream come true - turning to look around at everyone -

Bucky: - grabbing the collage again and extending his arm to the middle of the room - who's with us?

Each person in the room put their hands on the box, making it more than clear that they would help set things right and secretly get James Buchanan Barnes and Y/N Y/M/N Y/L/N together once and for all.

Bucky: right - looking at everyone for the last time - let's get started!

The next day.....

Steve: Bucky... - looking everywhere for his friend - has anyone seen Bucky?

Steve went all over the tower looking for his best friend with no success, he thought maybe he could have gone for a jog on his own but it was illogical at 10am!

Y/N: Hi Steve! - in the kitchen - Coffee?

Steve: Good morning Y/N/N. What's that? - confused by the object on the counter - and did you see Bucky anywhere? I can't... - he cursed himself for mentioning his best friend's name.

Y/N: ahh... No, I didn't and I don't want to see him, to be honest - she knew that Steve said it with all the kindness and honesty in the world, but she didn't want to hear about the person she confessed her love to in the middle of all this disaster.

Steve: don't worry, I understand - scratching his neck -

Y/N: thank you Stevie - smiling a little bit

Wan: good morning! Uhhh - looking at Y/N - filtered?

Y/N: - laughing at the questions of the pair present - yes. This is a chemex 6 cup coffee maker, it's a bit tedious because of the paper filter but.... The taste is worth it!

Steve: I don't understand much - looking at what his favourite barista was doing - but isn't there a metal filter for that?

Wan: I was going to ask the same question - reaching for his favourite cup - can I try it?

Y/N: Sure! I'll pour you a cup each - taking out the filter with the coffee grounds - and yes, there are metal filters for chemex and all sizes - pouring into the two cups - but I couldn't get one.

Wan: why not?

Y/N: all out of stock - shrugging her shoulders - anyway, I'll be in my room if you need help with anything, I have an exam coming up and I haven't started studying, yet - washing her hands - so it's time for me to make it - sighing - if you want more coffee, you can help yourself

Steve: thanks doll and... - taking a sip - is this the new one from the other day?

Y/N: yes! How did you know?

Steve: it's what you described, that last taste that no one can get out - laughing and earning a little look from Wanda - what?

Wan: Rogers, since when...

Y/N: thank you! - smiling - Wan, I needed you to taste this Kenya's coffee, you don't know what you're missing!

Y/N headed to her room, thinking about the exam that was coming up. She was a nutrition student at NYIT, one of the most prestigious universities in NYC. Tony had taken it upon himself to find the best college for her.

Y/N: Really? - wanting to access her virtual encyclopaedia of human anatomy and physiology - why can't I!!? - wrong password; wrong password; wrong password; wrong password again and again! She needed to access that program to start studying! - TONY!!!!!!! - getting up from the chair - F.R.I.DA.Y, do you know if Tony is in the lab?

F.R.I.D.A.Y:-after a moment- No Miss Y/L/N, but Dr Banner is there.

Y/N: Thank you, let him know I'm on my way, I need to know what Tony did with the password -taking her phone and leaving again- first the cafeteria and now this... I'm going to kill him !!!!!

F.R.I.D.A.Y: Don't worry, Miss Y/L/N.

Meanwhile in the avengers lab....

Bucky: -taking stock of everything that was on the counter- I think this is enough, we already have paint, the necessary tools...

Bruce: Then come on, we have to get started if we want this thing finished by...

F.R.I.D.A.Y: Dr Banner - making them both look up at the ceiling - Miss Y/L/N is heading to the lab, I would suggest you hide everything before she finds out what you plan to do...

Bruce&Bucky: FUCK!

Bruce: Ahhh.... ok, thanks F.R.I.D.A.Y -putting everything on the floor with Bucky's help- we need to stay calm, get everything out of here and....

Bucky: What do we do? -nervous- She wants my head as well as Tony's. If she sees me HERE, she'll kill me. 

Bruce: Barnes - "staying calm" - hide! Here she comes! -Hearing rushing footsteps

Bucky: Where the hell do you want me to hide?! There's no place...

Y/N: Bruce? Are you here? -almost to the door

Bruce: Hide back here! Anywhere! -Bucky, listening to him, hid behind the same counter - Barnes, what are you doing?!

Bucky: I'm trying to duck so he doesn't see me! What do you want me to do?!

Bruce: Hold still before I...-looking up- hey! Y/N/N! F.R.I.D.A.Y told me you were coming, what happened? -trying not to get her to suspect anything

Y/N: Bruce, do you know if Tony changed the password on the anatomy and physiology hologram encyclopaedia again?

Bruce: -checking the computer- I think... yes, he did it again - sighing-

Y/N: -pinching her nose- I can imagine the reason -looking at the screen- do you know what it is?

Bruce: Unfortunately not -commiserating with the girl- you have an exam coming up, don't you?

Y/N: Yes - making Bucky light up a little light bulb - Dietotherapy pathophysiology exam.

Bruce: If you want, I can give you mine so you can at least access what you need - grabbing a pen and paper-

*Bucky: -whispering and grabbing Bruce's ankle- ask her when it is!*

Y/N: that would be a big help! -relieved-

Bruce: No problem Y/N/N -smiling- ahh... when would your exam be?

Y/N: Ammm -checking his phone- from today, thursday.... in about three weeks, why?

*Bucky: tell him there's a barista fair in...*.

Bruce: No, no reason - giving James a "little kick" under the table - it was so that no one starts bothering you and you're left alone to study.

*Bucky: And what was that for?! -receiving ANOTHER kick- ouch!*

Y/N: What was that?

Bruce: What was that?

Y/N: I thought I heard Bucky complaining about something -fuck.......-

Bruce: Amm...- looking for an excuse- I thought I saw him walking down the hallway, I think he was in gym clothes.

Y/N: that makes more sense...-laughing- well, I'm off to study, thanks Bruce!

Bruce: Y/N/N, wait -making the girl turn around- are you ok?

Y/N: Yeah, better than ever, why? -she clearly wasn't-

Bruce: If you want to talk, I'm here for whatever you need.

Y/N: Thanks Bruce -half smiling- don't worry about it.

Bruce: You can get out of there -helping him up once she were gone- Bucky?

Bucky: Bruce...-looking at him- she's not well Y/N/N

Bruce: No -affirming what his partner was thinking- keep thinking about what happened with you... -seeing him grabbing the toolboxes previously placed on the floor- what are you doing?

Bucky: Doing what I can to change the story -waiting for the Hulk to grab the cans to leave with the others- our plan kicks off today.

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

Returning to the kitchen with a confused Steve.

Once Y/N was out the door, and making sure he wasn't coming back, Wanda hurried to fill 4 more cups with the freshly brewed brew.

Steve: What are you doing?

Wan: You keep an eye out for Y/N. I'll explain later.

Steve: I'd rather you explain to me now what's going on and where Bucky is - crossing his arms; he suspected the Scarlet Witch knew something and wasn't letting on - he's been weird since the incident, you know?

Wan: I'll explain that once I wash that thing - pointing to the coffee pot - put the cups on a tray and follow me.

Steve: But...

Wan: just follow my lead Rogers!

Steve: ok...

Once the perimeter was secure, Wanda came out of the kitchen first to check that the coast was clear and hurriedly told Steve to get out of there and follow her, no questions asked, for the time being.

Steve: Maximoff, where are you leading me? - slowing down - what is all this?

The place was full of plastic curtains, a makeshift door with two wooden planks and very little lighting. It looked like they were entering the hideout of a killer from one of those horror movies Clint used to choose for Halloween.

Wan: right - with her back to the door - first of all, Y/N makes coffee for everyone but two people who we already know who they are, don't we?

Steve: Yeah.... - looking at her suspiciously - she's torturing them with it. And what's it got to do with you bringing me here? This place looks like something out of a serial killer movie!

Wan: It's not what you think Rogers - turning to open the door - Tony and Bucky are going to explain what's going on.

Wanda ran a timber and found all the avengers gathered in a very large place. There were construction materials everywhere, paint cans, lumber, tools... But James Barnes wasn't there. Yet.

Wan: We're here - walking towards them with the tray that Steve had in his hands seconds ago - we had to wait for Y/N/N to leave the kitchen so we could get coffee without him suspecting anything.

Tony: We love you Maximoff!!! - exaggeratedly praising her - it's torture not to be able to have this freshly brewed coffee every morning!

Nat: Stop exaggerating Stark, though.... That's a good method of torture she's using on you two.

Tony: and I hope she never uses it again - sipping the black elixir - Rogers, if this is the coffee they were talking about the other day, let me tell you, it's amazing.

Steve didn't understand anything. Why were they all gathered in this part of the tower with all this stuff? And where was Bucky!?

Steve: Ok, wait a minute - pinching his nose - what are we doing here and why are we on the ground floor of the tower surrounded by... Whatever is this?

Sam: that.... Barnes will explain it - smiling and taking a seat with everyone.

Steve: and where's Buck? - following the others - nobody wants to tell me where he is!

Bruce: We're back! - loading up some paint cans - sorry for the delay, we needed a mini distraction to get Barnes out of there without Y/N seeing what we were carrying - leaving behind him a James Bucky Barnes carrying four toolboxes in his arms

Bucky: Yeah, those kicks hurt.

Bruce: I had to do something to keep you quiet, she was going to find out what we were looking for! -looking at Tony- by the way, Y/N will kill you for changing the password, your strategy to get me to talk to you half worked.

Tony: Then I'll go and have a word with her -leaving the cup- my plan didn't work, but I'll get her to talk to me -carrying the cans of paint with the others

Steve: - smiling and understanding some of what was going on - Buck, I've been looking for you all day!

Bucky: - dropping everything on the floor and moving away from the rest - been doing a couple of things. I made a promise and I'm not going to break it.

Steve: - putting a hand on his shoulder - you're really going to make THE dream coffee shop?

Bucky: Yeah, it's the least Y/N deserves, Steve. Besides - crossing his arms and looking down at the floor - yesterday.... She confessed that he loves me and .... - before I could ask the question - left before I could tell her I felt the same way.

Steve: Buck...

Bucky: I have to do this, Steve. I'm not going to lose her over some stupid mistake like a fight.

Steve: in that case - admiring his determination - where do I jave to start?

Bucky: I knew I was going to count on you - hugging him

Steve: Til' the end of the line, pal - grinning

Tony: OK - once everyone was close enough and Bucky was at his side - what we're going to do is this - walking back and forth - we know this is a huge project and our little girl's dream, so we're going to do what we need to do to make it happen. This - pressing a button on the control in her hands - is what she wants. This place was my old workshop, it has everything you need. From water connections to heating.

On the wall they could see pictures of vintage style coffee shops, cosy, with neutral colours and exposed bricks, spaces to read and study, a giant menu with all kinds of coffee drinks (with and without alcohol) and tea, among many other dreamy things. Some were taking notes, wondering where or who could help them get it all, others were gawking.

Bucky: also - seeing how the film was changing - the espresso machine we set out to get with Stark is a Carimalli two or three group, black with a capacity for 16 litres of water, and this white La Marzocco with small blue flowers, something like porcelain.

Clint: Where did you get that information Barnes? It's too specific!

Tony: never ask a man in love where he gets his information from Barton.

Wan: - changing the subject to stop Clint from asking any more questions - where could that machine be found?

Bucky: in three weeks there's a barista trade show in NYC, where the Carimalli company will be - pointing to the brochure on the screen -

Bruce: that's about the same day as your pathophysiology exam, isn't it?

Bucky: exactly

Nat: And what do you want us to do?

Tony: after her exam take her to the fair, go to the Carimalli stand and ask them to bring some of these espresso machines here.

Steve: how?

Sam: we could be at the back of the fair waiting in my van - looking at everyone for approval - it'll be easier that way to get them to the tower.

Bucky: We'd have to get someone to come and set them up.

Tony: Good idea - finishing the presentation - let's get on with it.

The project was starting today, no excuses. All the Avengers, even half the SHIELD agents, started setting up the whole place.

Tasks?

- polish the floors

- plaster the walls and paint

- get the chairs and tables (courtesy of Sam)

- adequate lighting

- distract and keep Y/N away.

Sam and Steve were in charge of furnishing, Clint, Wanda and Natasha of preparing and painting the walls, Bucky and Bruce of polishing the floors. They all had their chores divided up but....

Wan: Hey, have any of you seen Tony? I need him to tell me where the lamps I just found would go.

Bruce: - slowing down the polisher - he said he had something to do before he went on.

Wan: do something? What could be more important than that?

Bucky: I don't know?

Wan: -sighing and putting down the computer- I better go get him, if he's gone to take a break now, I'll get him by the ear.

_________________________________________

Y/N: I appreciate with all my being that Bruce gave me his password, but this is driving me crazy - she muttered to herself; the kind of program he was using was not the same as the one Tony had programmed for her- next time I do this I'll tell Pepper...

Seeing that she couldn't concentrate in her room, she went to the living room. It was more comfortable, had more space and, obviously, the kitchen was closer. That was a crucial part for when she started preparing for exams.

As her good luck charm, she decided to put on comfortable clothes, glasses and her hair in a messy but cute bun, make her favourite coffee, ask F.R.I.D.A.Y to put on warm light so her eyes wouldn't start to get tired, and her headphones to listen to the pre-recorded lecture they had left on the faculty platform.

Y/N: ok, let's see.... -reviewing her notes on diabetes-.

Time was passing and she was still studying. There was no one to disturb her, thanks to Bruce. With the tower supposedly deserted, plus points for her study environment, she was coming up on a quarter of the topics for the exam.

Y/N: -scrubbing her face- why don't I get this shit? -the calm didn't last long- I've got everything! Why don't I get the kcals!!!!!???? - yeah... when the kcals don't add up in a meal plan it's best to stay away from it; Nick Fury almost got hurt and lost his other eye once when he interrupted her study session when she had just started her degree and... Anyway... story for another day.

While she was still muttering angrily, Tony was watching her from the kitchen doorway. Sheets and books scattered all over the place, two cups of Y/F/C (your fav coffee), calculator and pencil in hand.... God! He had adoration for that little 27 year old! From the day he introduced her to all the avengers, he knew that in less than a day she would be part of the family. And so she was.

Y/N: Ok -exasperated- I add this and that and... I would have to give me... about...1500kcal.... -comparing results- AHHH!!!!!! I HAVE TO CHANGE EVERYTHING AGAIN!!!!

Tony: -trying not to laugh- how long have you been on this meal plan? Ok, take it easy -seeing that the girl was startled- why don't you rest a bit and try again later?

Y/N: Tony -leaving everything on the little table- shouldn't you be with Pepper or whoever you have to do something with?

Tony: -sitting next to her- Nope -emphasizing the last part- I wanted to talk to you about something important.

Y/N: And what might that be? -looking at him suspiciously- if it's about the password....

Tony: Ammm.... yes... about that... -grabbing the device and typing -there you go, you can log in again. Sorry about that, I needed some excuse to get you to talk to me again.

The longest silence Ironman had ever experienced in his life. Y/N looked dumbfounded from the computer to the man on her left, not knowing what to say. She knew it was an excuse, but to hear it from his mouth, it was.... weird.

Y/N: I'm still upset - taking off her reading glasses and scrubbing her eyes - I know you swore and you want to protect me, but this has gone too far.

Tony: that's why I wanted to apologise to you. And a very big one apologie. I shouldn't have behaved like that with Barnes and even less in the place you loved the most and it had a lot of meaning, - he said sincerely- I know you're still not going to forgive me, but I swear to Pepper that... I'm capable of turning back time and...

Y/N: -taking his hand and making the man shut up- Stark -he didn't know if it was a good or bad sign- it's enough that you're honest -smiling- I know you said all this from your heart and it means a lot to me.

Tony: That means...

Y/N: you're apologized, half-apologized, but apologized.

Tony: that's what I wanted to hear - but... - hey, are you ok?

Y/N: Ammm... not really, Tony -hugging herself- yesterday I did something I shouldn't have done and...

Tony: What's wrong? - he was so sure of what it was that he wanted the super-soldier under the counter to listen-.

Y/N: Amm... -almost hesitantly- ItoldBuckyIlikedhimandranoff -bingo!

Tony: What? -wanting her to repeat what he said so fast

Y/N: I told Bucky how I felt about him and I left -closing his eyes and putting his hands on the coffee table-

Tony: - "surprised"- What? What did he say?

Y/N: I left before he could say anything -covering her face- told him a lot of things! I was, and am, so upset about everything that happened that I just acted without thinking! No... -sighing exhausted- I didn't want him to find out like that!

Tony: You wanted it to be special, didn't you? -His eyes softened at the sight of her, after all the bad relationships she'd been through, she'd finally found someone who loved her for who she was; Tony felt more than guilty for having stopped Barnes from asking her out.

Y/N: Yeah -looking at the floor- I wanted it to be a special moment, something that neither of us could forget...-she looked up- I fucked everything up, didn't I?

Tony: Hey -hugging her while she was crying- you didn't ruin it, ok?. You wanted to let off steam and you did it that way -without letting go of her- I'm more than sure that this is all going to work out, make no doubt about it.

Y/N: -with a broken voice- and how do you know that? You should have seen his face Tony!!! I really think I've ruined our friendship forever.

Tony: I know Barnes -undoing the hug and wiping away a tear that was falling down his cheek- between the two of us we'll do our best to get out of this setback

Y/N: Yes, I know -smiling a little- it's... it's the first time in my life that someone has made me fall in love like this... I also wish I could turn back time and avoid saying all those things to him and shut my big mouth.

Tony: It'll go back to the way it was, don't worry.

Tony: -looking at the sheet of paper after a few moments- let me see that -taking a pencil and checking for any calculation errors- I think... there's a mistake here -pointing to the total caloric value- look, you made a mistake when passing numbers

Y/N: What? But if I...-taking the calculator and making the correction Tony had made- but...-comparing the results- now it gave what I needed!

Tony: Go and get some rest - gently and giving him a tender kiss on the head - watch TV, listen to music, distract yourself. You can't study if you don't take breaks, girl! -smiling at Y/N's bewildered face.

Y/N: You're right, - getting up - I'll make myself something to eat and stay here watching a series or something. I don't have any more brain cells -laughing

Wan: Anthony Edward Stark -appearing out of nowhere- I was looking for you, don't disappear like that!

Tony: And that's my way out -running to the other side.

Wan: Oh boy, you're in trouble...

Y/N: What's wrong? -laughing out loud seeing Wanda chaising Tony-

Wan: He left me alone training a bunch of new recruits and it was a disaster -better said "he left me alone picking out some lights so I don't know where they're going to go".

Tony: It's not my fault! -leaving the room

Wan: Y/N/N, see you later, remember to take breaks while studying, hydrate and eat -leaving the room- STARK!!!!!!

Y/N/N: oh these two....-shaking his head

Y/N listened to her adoptive father and took a break. His head was elsewhere and he couldn't concentrate.

To distract himself, he picked up one of his favourite books: "Before the coffee gets cold". Bucky had given it to him for his birthday. Every chance he got, he read it over and over again, never tiring of it.

Y/N: a chapter won't hurt - settling into the armchair and leaving his cup of tea on the coffee table.

_________________________________________

Sam: Buck - making the dark-haired man look at him - listen, Stark's going to end up dead but not because of your girl.

Bucky: What do you mean, what do you mean...?

Tony: MAXIMOFF ENOUGH! - running in and hiding behind Steve

Wan: Oh no, Rogers isn't going to save you.

Tony: HELP!

Steve: You're on your own Stark - moving to the side - I wouldn't mess with her.

Sam: help him? - seeing how terrified he was

Bucky: no, let's let him...

Sam: If you want him to help, you're gonna have to do something about it.

Buck: Fuck - closing his eyes and taking a deep breath - Wanda, leave him alone. He's already here.

Wan: But Barnes!

Bucky: Wan, he must have a very good reason for him to be gone - tired - don't you Stark?

Tony: Indeed ....

Wan: when I arrived I found him talking to Y/N - crossing his arms - you went to him for coffee?

Tony: - tired of the interrogation - she said she blew it with Barnes!

Everyone stopped doing their homework and stared at Ironman.

Bucky: What? - confused - why does she think she's to blame for any of this?

Tony: after everything she said to you she thinks your friendship is ruined - staring at him - that girl is fucking in love with you Barnes! - reaffirming it - I regret stopping you from asking her out, seeing her like that tears me apart!

None of the people present, not even James, could bring themselves to speak or say a single word. No one had ever, ever, seen Anthony Edward Stark like this, let alone admit such things out loud.

Tony: Barnes - looking at a giddy winter soldier - Barnes....

Bucky: how is it going to be her fault.... This... - not having the right words - I'm not mad at her, I'm not even.... She didn't do anything wrong!

Bruce: listen, we don't have time to overthink things. You guys want to make Y/N happy?

Tony&Bucky: yeah

Bruce: use that to your advantage and let's get back to work. This coffee shop isn't going to build itself - smiling - let's go!

That was all the push they needed. They each returned to their tasks and in less time than they thought, they were almost halfway through their tasks for the day.

Steve: - exhausted - we're done for the day - wiping his hands on his already grimy trousers - I need a shower - laughing.

Bucky: you're not the only one - smiling - tomorrow we'll start the painting - looking around - all right, get some rest! We'll continue later

Steve: - walking beside him once they had said goodbye to everyone - Buck, what's the matter you're so pensive about?

Bucky: Nothing - shaking his head - I thought of something but it's stupid and I don't think it will work.

Steve: What are you going to do? - intrigued - and I don't think it's stupid.

Bucky: Sing to the girl I love, don't you think it's stupid?

Steve: - slamming on the brakes - would you really do that? Steve: Wow...

Bucky: yeah, I know, it's ....

Nat: - behind them - you know Sam's betting you won't do it, don't you?

The two supersoldiers watched as the redhead walked away, leaving Bucky's head still working amidst his exhaustion.

Steve: Pal... Tell me you'll do it.

Bucky: I'm counting on it - taking off again-

_________________________________________

The days went by with repairs, painting, pictures (yes, Wanda thought it would be a great idea to take pictures of each avenger having coffee, Peter being the photographer of course), decoration, couches, chairs, tables... Everything you can imagine.

Tony and Bruce helped Y/N prepare for her exam to make it the best day of her life. She passes the exam, goes to the fair and, when she least expects it, they are going to give her the surprise of her life.

Tony: Enough Miss - seeing that Y/N was nodding off - I think it would be too much for today and... - looking at his watch - it's late, too much pathophysiology at the moment.

Y/N: my head was already starting to hurt - yawning and earning a chuckle from the two men present - I should save everything for tomorrow and go to sleep.

Bruce: I'll help you - getting up next to her - is your exam early?

Y/N: 8am to 10am - taking off his glasses - it's 60% of our grade.

Tony: you'll do fine princess - Bruce could see the gears in Tony's head turning -

Bruce: - before his dear mate could say anything - is there anything else missing?

Y/N: no - checking - nothing is missing.

Bruce: in that case, best of luck tomorrow - smiling and hugging the girl - you'll pass that test

Y/N: thank you guys for helping me - happy - see you tomorrow

Bruce&Tony: see you tomorrow

They both looked at each other and started to follow her. They needed to be more than sure that she wasn't going to leave her room until tomorrow morning.

Tony: - after a few moments - ready, let everyone know that the coffee princess has gone to bed.

Bruce: - pulling out his phone - really? That nickname?

Tony: send that message, emerald - stepping back - we need to finish the finishing touches.

See you soon with P4!!!!! 🤭🤭🤭

[h5eavenly]

First of all, I have been an almost completely silent reader (or lover you might say (okay that was creepy, sorry💀) ) but DAMN GODDESS, YOU WRITE AMAZING. THE TEARS, THE ANGST, THE TENSION, JUST— **OOF😭🤧😔**

This chapter must have been what they said about real pain and heartbreak while reading a masterpiece. NGL, everyone should gather together and beat up Seungmin atp (not the real puppy boy, the real one is what we call a sweetheart💕) HOW DARE HE?!?! And this was also such a blatant indication of how women actually are treated in world rn just for even being kind or showing interest or being sweet. This is why EAT UP ALL MEN AND WOMEN RULE THE WORLD✨ (On a completely different note, no girl or woman should ever have to go through what y/n went through. It was painful to read as a woman, I can't fathom how painful it might have been for you to write, you really are strong my dear💕)

Also, pls for the love of God, someone teach hyunyn some communication, it's painful to see them suffer so much when they were just some young teens in love😔

IN THE MEANWHILE, I was just re-reading carousel when a sudden theory popped up in my head— What if the reason why Chan is being such a passive aggressive asshole towards y/n rn is because he is arranged to be married to him? PLS MY BRAIN IS GETTING FRIED THINKING ABOUT THIS AS IF IT IS SOME MURDER MYSTERY.

Anywho, pls can't wait for more updates 'cuz THIS SHIT IS GONNA KILL ME (either way you are an amazing human/genius for writing this story so pls take care of yourself and your mental health and write at your own pace, you are a flawless and gorgeous hooman🎀🫵😘)

Sorry for the long ask btw😔🥲

Hii omg🥺🥺🥺 i always see you liking chapters pretty early too thank you so much🫶🏻🫶🏻 and yes i agree w you we should just get rid of all men🙄 on a real note it was miserable to write specially knowing that this is a real thing that happens to women all ocer the world everyday i wish the world could be a better place

and omg THIS THEORY WIAONA i love how everyone is fr analyzing carousel as if its a murder mystery it makes me want to write one🫡

thank you so much for being so kind and writing to me and more than anything for reading carousel🩷!! i hope you’re taking care of yourself and please don’t apologize for the long ask i dont mind at at all🩷🩷🩷

[streamdotpng]

everyone losing it w the Wednesday angst 😭 it’s kinda funny tho cuz stream over here puts my girl Enid through the ringer almost every day. I feel like I’m the only ones whose been wanting my girl Wednesday to go through some angst. only to give Enid a tiny break. but at the same time it feels a little wrong to see W suffer 🥲🥲 like that’s still my little meow meow but alas if anons wanna continue w the paint then I’ll take it

I think everyone is just used to me hurting Enid at this point D:

[jinkicake]

Just checked the calendar,,,, and scaramouche birthday is in 15 days🥲 I feel like he’s gunna pop up in my dreams or something I’m nervous bc albedo was just there; that’s my fault tho for falling asleep reading a fic where susbedo rails me and albedo is watching from behind the door of the KOF lab. I just remember looking up when I was struggling to stay alive and kicking eyes w him across the room and him going 🤫🤭 before I blacked out and woke up😭 12am if January 3rd he’s going to show up w ropes n chains n shit🫠 like he’s definitely the sadistic fuck to smile like the Cheshire Cat knowing that he has something over you😒 it’s his special day so he can fuck you in the shrine while yae can’t do shit to him (actually kazuha would also in the”being forced to watch the shogun play w you” scenario; love a man who’s been pushed into insanity) like he will make a huge pillow fort in the publishing house too and then fuck you right in the middle of it, like Ei is dumb asf but she’s way nicer than her shit puppet so when she hears the “poor defenseless traveler” has been taken and is being held hostage by her creation she’s like “oh no🥺🥺” so she rushes over there to help and use is like…. Something ain’t right here this feels like strap why is it completely empty. Then they get sucked into a mind realm of HIS own making. Ei becomes painfully aware of what day it is and they’re stuck listening to the screams of the traveler😔😔 more,deeper and faster; he would pull their hair and make them look they electro archon right in the face while making them swear allegiance to him as the true archon(which I would do without question lmao are you kidding? He’s way better than her and would have cherished Inazuma like she said nah you’re too nice I want everyone to be miserable 💕)can do nothing but sit back and watch him ruin the traveler and then begging for him to finish inside and to go deeper🤭 BONUS POINTS IF EI AND MAYBE MEIKO TOO WERE FOND OF THE TRAVELER AND DIDNT GET THE CHANCE TO TELL THEM!! I love unnecessary suffering it’s suck a great genre🥰 need to see her looking broken and helpless while he grins all crazy back at her is the ultimate revenge!! (Honestly same as abyss aether having you suck him off or ride him on his throne while lumine or whoever watches in shock☺️ he said I’m here to ruin everyone’s lives and he should!)

WHERE DO YOU FIND THESE FICS????? I need to read them too! I'm jealous of your dreams tbh...

naur youRE WRONGGG for putting that kazuha suffering into the air T T omg i dont think he could handle that tbh! he might just actually k!ll the puppet and then her creator! we all know he wants to- (with good reason-)

omgggg.... yes the unnecessary suffering is too good like that's what makes the 'fucking in front of the other person' so good like eeeek if miss miko had feelings for the traveler and came across them getting their guts rearranged by scara.... she would make it EVERYONE's problem... and she would probs k!ll the puppet like she wanted to do hundreds of years ago LOL

no bc abyss aether is superior like- he's a princeeee and he got to fuck around w pierro im jealous of him actually! not sure if i want to be him or with him!

[starlightkun]

okay but what if changer is my favourite starlightkun fic ever. what then 😳

also me the moment sungchan says he does astrophysics:

WE GOT IT! WE GOT IT EVERYONE, THE STARLIGHT IN THE STARLIGHTKUN, THE MEL SPECIAL, ONE STARGAZING DATE™ COMING RIGHT UP!!!

also y/n being absolutely so done with hyuck and jaemin is hilarious like when they're at jenos party and shes like is this chenles doing? no the terrible duo woke up again this morning and decided to make it my problem i see i see. or when shes trying not to ✨romance✨ sungchan and is like yeah i can say this to my pals. i could say this to shotaro and jaemin because they're both my pals. maybe not hyuck tho idk the vibes are off

no but genuinely this is one of my favourite fics you've ever written, it feels so natural and the way you wrote sungchan makes me feel so warm and fuzzy (i love finding people as insane about him as i am) i want to be there. also the denim baseball caps with lavender embroidery???? so fucking cute holy shit.

honestly with this pair i could see them pulling a tdhea and start dating but decide not to tell jaemin, hyuck or shotaro. like shotaro sees her walk out of sungchans bedroom in the morning and hes all 🤨 and y/ns like "studying werewolf anatomy is so HARD 🤪🤪🤪 thankfully sungchan is such a great teacher and goes slow at first so i can get the hang of it" like really fucking with them as payback for their meddling. or sungchan going up to hyuck and jaemin lamenting about his unrequited love and asking them for advice on what flowers to give someone who doesnt like you back and the dryads are like 🥺🥺 but they do like you back and sungchans like 😓 i am a man with faults, i have made mistakes 🤧 and i am not worth the pain or suffering 🫡🥲💀 like really playing into his loserboy potential

anyways thats all lives were changed, changer changed lives

-✨anon

omg 😳 ur fave 🥺🥺

and literally me writing any sort of learn'ed man who knows things about the stars like....at this point its inevitable its a canon event that i cannot interfere with in every single universe i will write a stargazing date like ajsfgjdfgkjg;; anywayyyy i hope they've all been different enough to not be too redundant??? or i hope that yall at least like stargazing dates too lmao

the rest of my response got sooo long and contains minor/vague changer spoilers so it's under the cut :)

dryad!hyuck: *exists*

half of the characters in the strawbsunday universe: idk the vibes are off

and im fr soooo glad there's one other person out here that's unwell in the head abt jung sungchan. im on my sungchanist shit 24/7 lately like between changer pt 1 being 22k, phantasmagorical pt 1 being 21k, and the both of them having pt 2s in the works........ im down bad and im never getting back up im telling u 🫠🫠

nahh bc if hyuck had to deal with ANOTHER oblivious (or "oblivious") pair after woos x strawbsunday reader and sungie x tdhea reader (bc in my canon timeline that i keep in my notes, changer does take place after both of those) he would literally kill somebody. like somebody would Die. he wouldn't bother beating around the bush either. he'd just sit the both of them down and very calmly say "you two have big fat stupid crushes on each other and if you don't fucking admit it im going to walk outside and commit vehicular homicide right now" with one of his eyes twitching. my bestie would be Fed Up. like sungchan x changer reader were only safe bc hyuck wasn't as good of friends with sungchan but if they pulled THAT shit they wouldn't be spared twice

NAWT the werewolf anatomy 😭😭😭 poor taro their rooms share a wall....... but, you know, reader IS an MCS student, and "there's so little literature on half-werewolves, it's a fascinating opportunity to get hands-on experience and research— hey taro why are you running away i haven't even told you about my thesis question yet"

also i agree w u that i could totally see changer reader and sung trying to pull a tdhea (with it being either one of their ideas tbh, they'd both think it would be hilarious), but werewolf sungchan is way too much of a simp (affectionate) and ruins it almost immediately. it's day 2 and they arrive separately to a movie night at jeno and jaemin's and reader is trying to ~coyly~ sit just close enough to sungchan on the couch but he's just so excited to see them he's like "oh hi baby!!" and pulls them onto his lap and and kisses them in front of EVERYONE. and their friends r all just like. "uh, fascinating way to tell us that ur dating, guys. cool." bc they all think that it was an intentional grand reveal and not sungchan royally fucking up them keeping it a secret [not canon but hilarious to imagine]

ALSO also your imitation of sung "😓 i am a man with faults, i have made mistakes 🤧 and i am not worth the pain or suffering 🫡🥲💀" had me cackling at my desk at work today like so true he IS loserboy (beloved) but we have not yet witnessed his peak simp behavior nor his peak loserboyness

[gatual]

last night i was thinking abt characters that love so so sO much that end up doing crazy shit bc of it my beloveds

[leahseclipse]

If I only could I'd make a deal with God, and I'd get him to swap our places | E.M

Pairing : Eddie Munson x gen ! reader

Warning : ST4 VOL2 SPOILERS, possible mentions of graphic details, coma, BUT it ends well, it's a fix-it fic !!

Summary : After the recent traumatic events, Eddie has ended up in the hospital and fell into a come. Reader visits everyday, in hopes he'll wake up.

A/N : yes I needed to do that after what happened 🥲 this is my apology for the other fic LMAO @smalluniversecollector

W/C: 1.3k

It marks one month since Eddie hasn't opened his eyes, today. One whole month without him.

Without the sound of his voice.

Without moving his arms in all directions like a sugar - high toddler.

Without the sound of his guitar playing.

He's just been there, laying in this bed, doing nothing else. I just wish he was awake.

Without the smell of whatever thing he'd smoke.

A month without all of those things. I have to admit, it feels empty, not having those in my life. It's like the world doesn't make sense now that it doesn't have him to fill it.

He's just been there, laying still, doing nothing. We probably couldn't have gone out of the upside down without injuries, so I just wished he had something that wouldn't keep him so long at the hospital at least.

I wish Eddie wouldn't be the one going through this. I've been feeling so guilty with my sprained wrist, it's nothing compared to what he has, and I wish we could've swapped places. I love him so much that I would do that for him.

But again , he'd be the one worried to death , just like I am right now. The one that wouldn't be in a coma would still suffer in some way.

I just wish we would just have something that wasn't bad at least. I wish he'd be there with me, and that we'd just have to laugh about a stupid sprained wrist and something else kind of broken, but not fatal for him. He'd play non-stop with his crutches if he had to have those.

We'd switch between his house, my house, Dustin's, we wouldn't stop moving around.

If only that was the only thing that happened. I wouldn't be here, sitting all day, hoping he wakes up.

"You know, I actually knew you before." Eddie said.

"You did?" I asked, surprised.

"In elementary school. You probably don't remember, because we weren't even in the same class. We never talked. I was... Much quieter before, the quiet type that wouldn't have the courage to tell he liked someone. I always watched you, from time to time. I still liked you, even with your bad haircut."

"That one was horrendous! How did you still like me?"

"I guess I just really loved you. And I will always love you, even if you get a messed up haircut."

If only Eddie saw what I did to my hair. I couldn't stay with this upside-down-monster-blood on my hair, even if I'd wash it, and it reminded me too much of what happened— so I just cut it off myself.

It's grown a bit since, but everyone can still see how badly cut it is.

But he won't care, probably. He'll still somehow find me pretty, in some way, even if I have no idea how. I'll probably mess with him a bit, it's funny when he goes into attorney mode to defend his case.

I hope he has nice dreams, at least. I don't want him to be trapped constantly in a nightmare. It's best if he dreams of hellfire, moments we had in the cafeteria, when we smoked under the bleachers, or when we skipped school because we didn't want to go to science.

That's what I want him to dream about.

As I got up from the chair, taking my stuff, I approached his bed and took his hand in mine. He still felt warm, he wasn't gone.

"I have to go back home, I'll see you again tomorrow though. I promise I'll be back. Sleep well." I said, kissing his forehead. I let go of his hand slowly, looking back at him when I stopped in front of the door, before leaving.

Eddie will wake up soon, he has to.

++

Crossing the doors of the same hospital I've been going to for more than a month, whose every corner is no longer unknown to me; I went up to the staircase, walking up to the 2nd floor to the room that's almost at the end of the corridor..

Before entering, I took a large inspiration like I do each morning in front of that pale blue door. Maybe I'm just preventing a possible heart attack in case I open that door and find Eddie wide awake.

Unfortunately, that didn't seem to be for today.

I expected this. I'm no less deceived than yesterday.

I set my bag on the empty chair, taking out my radio and turning it on to stay in touch with the others in case we need to talk. Dustin's intermissions are the one I hear the most throughout the day, he's a good kid, always tuning in to talk to Eddie, in case he might hear.

I've heard Dustin took over for Eddie as the Dungeon Master for now, they're doing a special campaign Eddie had stored out for them, so every Friday, I keep the radio at a low volume by the bedside table. It kind of acts as a lullaby for him.

Discarding of my jacket, I walked to the window and opened it, letting out fresh air inside. Everything was fine, again. The world was back to normal, almost. No one can ever forget the students who died at the start of the year, so we're just doing our best to heal for now.

Being the paranoid I am, I rushed to wash my hand in the bathroom by fear of giving him some microbe that might ruin his recovery. I just have to do it, even if I cleaned them at the entry.

That damn mirror is still there for me to see my completely tired face that clearly didn't sleep for a full night. It's just been hard to sleep on my own, it's like I don't even know how to do it anymore. Not feeling his weight on the bed as I'm laying by his side feels strange, the bed seems too big for just myself.

I just have to be patient, again. There's nothing more I can do, I'm not a Cleric or whatever. I can't pull off miracles.

As I turned off the water and dried my hands with the towel by the shower, I walked in the direction of the door and I stopped.

Eddie goddamn Munson was staring right. at. me.

His eyes were clearly opened, it wasn't a hallucination from sleep deprivation, right?

Right?

For a minute, my mouth just hung open. I couldn't seem to let out a word.

"Am I dead or what? You seem like you saw a ghost." Eddie said, looking around at the monitors.

"I'm in a dream, right?" I asked.

"I don't even know if I'm real." He replied.

"Oh god." I started to cry, rushing to his side. "You're back."

"I am?"

"You made it out, you're not dead." I informed. "It's not a dream, Eddie."

"Come here." He said, opening his arms to me. I fell onto his chest, still crying a bit. "I'm here now."

"I thought you'd never wake up."

"Neither did I." Eddie said, brushing my hair with his left hand. "Did you cut it?"

Still laying against his chest, I nodded. "I did. It didn't grow a lot since."

"It's okay, it looks good, even if it's not cut right." He reassured me.

"I know. It's horrendous, but in a good way." I said.

"In a good way, yeah." He answered as I pulled away from his chest to look at him.

"I missed you a lot, it's good to talk to you again." I smiled.

"I missed talking to you in real life. I'm glad." He smiled back, reaching for my right hand.

I took his hand in mine, rubbing his knuckles softly, "There's also other people who missed you, you know."

"I know, I'm too popular." He joked. "Can we wait a bit though, I just want a minute... or forty with you."

I laughed, "Forty sounds good."

"You know I really love you?" Eddie asked out of the blue.

"I do, because... I happen to love you too."

"Oh, you do? That's a surprise." He joked.

"Forever and always, Munson."

I hope you liked this fic :) if you did, don't hesitate to send me an ask! Requests are also appreciated, I write for other characters as well!

[plan-d-to-i]

hshdhdhvhbf just saw someone saying jgy "no doubt" did more good than wwx and every time I see something that makes me loose braincells i come here and tell you about it as a sort of therapy (deepest apologies for any suffering this causes you)

🥲 it's all good xx

You know I think people just forget how much not good stuff JGY did/enabled. Which- well played JGY- because he schemed and pulled strings so much behind the scenes it's hard to keep track of it all... Like the clan XY exterminated, and the ppl of Baixue Temple, Song Lan and XXC, all of Yi city, *edit* < I forgot the Clan JGY himself tore down after framing them for his son’s death, and then the whole human experiments on women and children etc situation >, his son and wife, and NMJ, and the sex workers he used to kill his father bc just drugging him dead wasn't "edgy" enough... and riling up jin zixun's one braincell, setting into motion the events that led to Qiongqi path, which then developed into the events of Nightless City... and ready to get all the Juniors killed in the second siege and everyone else there who WangXian ( & the Wen Remnants) had to save... and worst of all ... he made Su She think he's hot shit. ugh. There's no denying my man was BUSY. Hustle never sleeps. Meanwhile he raised some observation towers and shed a few tears and everyone is like: benevolent, kind king! JGY is seriously posthumously still doing what he did best- 🥺 [🔪🩸] and ppl have the GALL to blame LXC, for not sussing him out! Ppl aren't sussing him out w all the events of the novel laid out before them lol.

[randomchance]

okay i just finished binging arcane and i just wanted to dump some thoughts here, they are NOT organized and i WILL leave out many things bc my puny human brain cannot remember everything

ARCANE SPOILERS AHEAD

.

.

.

color. art. music. lets just get this over with, this show is gorgeous.

voice acting. like holy heck powder's child va and jinx's va are just awesome. when vi and everyone else leaves powder in her room alone and powder has her breakdown, it just felt so real thanks to the voice... ive had so many similar episodes during my worst year suffering from depression and anger issues and wow did it send me back to those times...🥲 and obviously her voice when vi hits her in the face, her screaming 'why did you leave me', every character's voice when theyre broken down, etc

story. its so well structured. and some twists i did NOT see coming, like silco almost being killed by sevika but her killing finn instead

characters. i... to be truthful i didnt hate any of them. not silco, not jinx, not sevika.

i love the moment where they finally fully 'humanize' silco, when jinx hugs him after she thinks vi left her and he hugs her back. oh and i love ekko. his design and his reveal as the firelight. and there being almost no one-dimensional character; mel being both manipulative but also striving for her own idea of good, jace not being an incompetent politician for the whole run, silco and him actually going through w the peace thing, marcus and his daughter, victor not being the nice, nerdy, weak character unlike so many other shows that handle characters of his type, etc...

i love this show and i now NEED a season 2.
