Hi Jude! :)) I'm feeling a bit better today, I think just chilling yesterday may have helped. My roommate is still sick, he keeps going in and out of a fever. My cousin hasn't gotten it yet, but it's only a matter of time. She's constantly getting sick from working with elementary schoolers. I have the immune system of someone who ate dirt religiously as a child (note: I did not actually eat dirt), so hopefully I won't get it.
I'm honestly thinking of maybe doordashing some gummies 🤔
Oooh, how was your day batshit? (If you don't mind me asking of course)
I also definitely look forward to these 😁😁🧡🧡🧡🧡
I can see why it's such a comfort show! It felt like a big, warm hug :))) And I love how gay it is! Everybody is gay, yes! It really captures some of the comfort and warmth that the queer community has to give. The healing aspect of it, and the family that you find. I wish there were more shows like it! I hope it represents a greater trend with more queer representation. And, is it just me, or did it almost read a little bit like a fanfic? Maybe the fanfic authors are finally "growing up and writing their own shows", eh? Maybe the openness that fan spaces have for queerness is finally bleeding over into professional media! I hope so :)) Fanfic genuinely helped me discover and come to terms with so much of myself.
Agh, thanks (*´ω`*) I guess I'm a little bit the same with my emojis. I mix them a lot because most of them just don't really express what I'm feeling. I go with the one that's closest. If I had a gif collection, I'd probably use those, but I'm not much of a curator :)
Ah yes, all the emojis! I'll make this one feel extra lucky. ✨🫧🍀🕯️☘️🍄🍀🌿🕯️🌾🌾🌾🕯️🍀☘️🍀🍃🍀🌿🌲🕯️🫧✨
I hope it conveys doing a witchy ritual in a dark, foresty clover field. Yours almost reminds me of a bright candi charm bracelet! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Ooh, if you do get into plants, then you need to know my other secrets! ✨🌿✨ First off, garden plants really do seem to prefer being outside, even if it is just in a pot on a balcony. I'm struggling overwintering mine indoors right now. They're not doing great with the adjustment. My second secret is mycelium 🍄. Now this one might just be superstition, but I really do think it helps! In the forest, plants communicate with each other, and help each other through networks of mycelium, which is the scientific name for fungus roots! Through mycelium, stronger plants help the weaker ones thrive, and plants can warn each other about various blights so they can start preparing defenses early! I personally theorize that this might be part of why potted plants are so picky and delicate, and outdoor plants can grow straight through concrete! The outdoor plants often have mycelium to help them be more hardy. So, I found a patch of mycelium outdoors, and put it into my plant pots! I found mine by coincidence, while sitting on a lush park lawn and fidgeting with the clay heavy soil. I knew about mycelium, and I thought it couldn't hurt to put it in my plants :) So, if you're digging around in the dirt, or rooting through leaf litter, and you find a bit of wood with white stuff on it, put it in your soil! And make sure that it has other wood chips to spread to, and that it doesn't get too dried out. Join me in my experiment! I'd love to see if our potted plants actually do stay healthier because of it. And knowing the pacific northwest, you probably have a ton of great mycelium around you! It's the perfect environment for it 😁😁
I've only left stuff in places that really, really impacted me :). Besides, I feel like a part of me stays with my old home no matter what I do. It's nice to acknowledge that, instead of pretending that it didn't mean anything to me. It's strange, I move so often that I can date memories by what room I was in. Like how you can tell the year by Josh's hair color. I can tell it by my home.
Like one of those little thumbnail sized tree frogs! 🥺🥺🥺🐸🩵
God said no more slutty halloween costumes 😔 only winter jackets 🫴🧥
Praying to the snow gods, for snow, for you 🧡 🫧🕯️🌨️❄️☁️🌫️🕯️🍵🍰🍲🕯️🌨️❄️☁️☃️❄️🌨️🌫️🕯️🫧
That would totally be us staring at snow! But like, add some little cups of cocoa, and gloves and scarves 😊😊🧡🧡
I do, I do! Sketches and writing! I don't draw much anymore, I used to doodle in class. My moor recent ones are mostly just alien creatures that I came up with for a scifi universe (◍^ω^◍) But, sure, I'll send them over to you!
Hahaha!! That meme is hilarious! He's so me, frfr 🧡
And oh my god! I love his little bow necklace!! It totally just brings the whole fit together 🩵🩵 This is my favorite pic of Josh from the night:
Look at handsome he is! I love his hair 🥰🩵🩵🩵 Dan's not the only one who's growing a mullet 😁😁 God, I love men with long hair! Josh is doing things to me!
Love ya lots! 🧡
Starry :P
Howdy, Jude! What's good? :)
(this is a modified version of the game "what doin'", in which you ask your friends "what doin'?" and it facilitates a conversation. I never know what to ask about in asks, so I'm playing what doin'. But I figure asking "what doin'?" would probably provide a boring answer like eating food, so I modified it to "what's good?" which pretty much opens up the floor for you to talk about what ever is good in your life right now :)). Sorry if this seems very autistic, I'm probably very autistic, and I decided to embrace it today.)
Omg hiiii Starry! (Idk if thats cool i love all your names lmk) :3
Im so glad u sent this im also very autistic so i have a hard time initiating conversation. 😆 As for whats good in my life right now hehe um🤔 my cat 🐈⬛ (as always). OH and dans mullet lmaoo. Got my lisence recently besides that just basking in the winter depression currently drawing and playing totk🙂. How about you?🥴 How are you doing whats good in your life right now? Id love to know🫶
#np! 💕#it's kind of silly thing to get nervous about imo#everybody has their own lives and I wouldn't want to be pressured to respond too soon so why would I do that to you?#so I'm trying to really train myself out of getting pressed about it and I'd say it's working pretty well :))#take as long as you like I'll be here :) 🧡#tbh even if it takes months I won't hold it against you.#I have friends that I haven't talked to in years that I still view just as fondly#I guess it's a part of how my brain works.#the friendship bar does not deplete from absence.#and I don't hold a grudge over that sirt of thing :)#talks with jude

.。*♡ Day six: Darling offering their blood to Alucard
.。*♡ A/N: This one is a personal favorite of mine tbh. There's just something about offering your blood to your beloved that has me weak on the knees istg. Plus I love Lulu, he's cute 🥺🥺💕
.。*♡ Warnings: Yandere content, implied kidnapping and punishment, blood
The curtains were drawn, shadows creeping along the walls, mirroring the turmoil within you, growing stronger with each passing day in his presence. The fear that once gripped you had morphed into something else, something darker yet oddly comforting — a resigned acceptance perhaps.
"Well, well," Alucard drawled, his voice a silken purr that sent shivers down your spine, his hands caressing the sides of your neck with his long, slender fingers. "What brings about this change, pet? Have you finally decided to stop running?"
Alucard stood before you, his crimson eyes gleaming with a predatory light as he observed you with a mix of curiosity and amusement. He had reveled in your futile resistance, the thrill of the hunt, the sweet scent of your fear, since day one where he had you in his clutches. But tonight, the air was different, charged with an unspoken understanding.
Instead of fighting him, insulting or taunting him, you were quiet... Not in the "I hate you so I won't talk to you" way but more on a "I don't know what to say so I'm just going to steal glances your way" way.
You met his gaze, your resolve unwavering as you tilted your head to the side, exposing the delicate curve of your neck. The pulse of your blood thrummed beneath your skin, a steady rhythm that echoed the racing of your heart. There was no need for words; your actions spoke volumes.
It was clear you were offering your blood to him. Something so sacred and holy offered to an unholy being such as himself.
“Such a willing sacrifice,” Alucard teased, his voice a low rumble that resonated through you. “But why now? What has brought you to this point?”
Alucard's eyes darkened, the hunger in them growing more intense. He stepped closer, his presence overwhelming as he loomed over you. His breath was downright chilly against your skin as he leaned in, but he didn’t immediately take what you offered. Instead, he traced a gloved finger along the line of your throat, feeling the warmth of your blood, the vulnerability of your gesture, to see if you were sure. After all, this was a rather intimate thing to do between lovers.
More intimate than carnal pleasure. A part of you would forever live inside him, your delicious, hot blood giving him strength and a morbid sense of motivation.
You swallowed, your throat dry, but you didn’t falter. “I belong to you, Alucard. I’ve fought it, denied it, but… I can’t anymore. Maybe I don’t want to.”
His lips curled into a wicked smile and his eyes gleamed with a satisfaction that sent a thrill of both fear and desire through you. “You’re finally beginning to understand.”
He leaned in closer, his lips brushing against your neck, the touch so light it was almost a whisper. His fangs grazed your skin, a promise of what was to come. “But are you truly ready for this? To give yourself to me completely?”
Alucard’s chuckle was dark, filled with a kind of twisted delight. “Very well, my dear.”
Your breath hitched but you nodded, the truth of your words settling deep in your soul. A part of you was still screaming to run and hide, and never come near him again. But you were tired after all those months.
Tired to live in pain and fear, tired of the punishments and having your hopes crushed whenever your attempt to escape failed. You took another step, your chest touching his, cupping his head on your palms. “I want this. I want you.”
And then, with deliberate slowness, he sank his fangs into your neck. The sharp pain was immediate but it quickly gave way to a heady rush of pleasure as he drank from you. His grip on you was firm, possessive, holding you even closer than possible, and you felt the world around you blur, your senses heightened to an almost unbearable degree, as you clutched his coat between your fingers.
He drank deeply, savoring every drop as if it were the finest wine he ever tasted, his growls vibrating through your body as he fed, filets of blood dripping down your neck and coating your shirt in it. The sensation was overwhelming, a mix of pain and ecstasy that left you breathless and trembling in his arms.
When he finally pulled back, your blood staining his lips, his eyes glowed with satisfaction. He licked the wound clean, sealing it with a tender kiss, his gaze never leaving yours.
“You are mine,” He whispered, his voice sending shivers down your spine. “And I will never let you go.”
You nodded, the weight of his words sinking into you. There was no escape now, you passed the point of no return. And in that moment, as you rested your head against his chest tiredly, you realized you didn’t want to. The darkness had consumed you both, and you welcomed it.

Heya 👋
Can you do a pregnant s/o with neji, kiba, shino, Gaara??
Have a great day ❤️👋🌺
author's note: this is such a cute request, I really loved writing it! I actually wrote Gaara finding out his s/o is pregnant, where I kind of covered how he will be during the pregnancy, so I decided to cover only Neji, Kiba and Shino for this one. Hope you enjoy! <3
➤ Neji
Given this is Neji we are talking about, I assume his s/o's pregnancy was more or less planned.
He and his partner have been trying to conceive for a while, since they've been married for a year already and the elders of his clan were already pestering them about children.
So when his s/o told him they are pregnant, he felt both rush of excitement and relief.
Probably one of the calmest and most composed men when it comes to his partner's pregnancy.
I imagine he has been preparing for this moment for a while by reading various books, consulting with some of the older women of his clan, as well doing his own research during his free time.
Definitely more ready and knowledgeable than his s/o about it.
I have always been of the opinion that Neji is very traditional guy, who dreams of having a family of his own.
As such, he is overprotective from Day 1.
He will accompany his s/o everywhere, help them with chores and would try to stop them from doing any missions straight away, worried that the risk of losing either of them is way too big. (I say try, because he will probably be unsuccessful till the last few months)
Has a tendency to be a bit paranoid and scold his s/o if he ever see them doing even something by themselves.
I feel his s/o would find all his efforts and worries somewhat adorable in the beginning, but as their pregnancy progress and their hormones start going crazy, they will start losing their patience with him.
I imagine the second half of the pregnancy may be a bit stressful for both of you (and everyone around you tbh!), since his s/o won't hold back their complaints about Neji's behaviour and in turn he will be annoyed about why is his s/o angry, when all he tries to do is to take care of them.
Treats his partner like an absolute ROYALTY tho
His s/o want a silk pillowcase, because otherwise they can't fall asleep? He will go around the whole Hyuga compound to find them one.
His s/o is craving his famous vanilla ice cream in the middle of the night? He is spending the hours preparing it from scratch for them.
Overall, his s/o's pregnancy would go quite easy, as he is very attentive and already knows quite a bit about what to expect and how to handle his s/o's mood swings.
➤ Kiba
Where do I even start with this one?
Initially, when his s/o told him they were pregnant, he was absolutely perplexed.
He knew they were not always super strict with the protection, but so far they have always been safe from incidents.
Like, he is not against becoming a dad - quite the opposite, he would love to have a house FULL with little Inuzuka babies, BUT he just was not sure he was ready at that point.
He is not really sure how to prepare tho?
Unlike Neji, he is not in the mood to go around and spend days reading boring books about childbirth and pregnancies, neither he felt comfortable talking with his family about it.
I imagine he is the type of guy that just grab his s/o's hand and give them a reassuring smile, saying: "It's okay, we are going to figure it out together!"
And they do. The beginning is a bit messy, both him and his s/o don't really know what to expect and if they should expect anything at all at this early stage.
I don't think he is going to treat his partner any differently, because for the first few months they look pretty much the same as before, so in his mind they should be perfectly capable to continue going on missions, do chores etc.
His s/o's period of throwing up almost every night and feeling sick every time they take a bite of food COMPLETELY throws him off and he is phoning Sakura almost every day, asking her to come to his house and check his s/o
When his partner gets their mood swings, their house becomes almost like a battlefield - poor man doesn't really know why his s/o is behaving that way and would constantly be baffled by his s/o's behaviour
"Why are you screaming at me? Don't you dare throwing that pillow-Ow! Dammit!"
I imagine that he will have to seek his mother's and sister's help in the later stage of the pregnancy, it is just TOO MUCH to handle
That doesn't stop him from wanting to have another kid pretty soon after his s/o gives birth to their first one - now that he has seen how they glow when they are pregnant, he plans to keep them like that quite often
➤ Shino
Our favourite boy Shino... his s/o is honestly lucky to have him during their pregnancy.
When they first told him they were pregnant, he didn't show much of an emotion, other than letting his lips curve in a small smile, before resting a gentle kiss against his s/o's temple.
He was definitely happy about the news, but as I always imagined him as a quite laid back individual, his reaction is actually pretty calm and relaxed compared to many other Naruto men.
In the beginning, his behaviour doesn't change much - he tries not to intervene too much with his s/o's freedom and let them do whatever they want.
If they want to continue doing missions - that's fine by him, even tho he may ask the Hokage to send him with them if possible.
If they want to stay at home - he doesn't mind taking a complete care of them, if this is how they are going to feel comfortable.
He is very attentive and always listen to his s/o's wishes and needs.
For this reason I actually think his partner is going to have pretty easy pregnancy - they would feel relaxed and comfortable in Shino's care, adopting his view that parenthood would just come naturally to them.
I don't even think they would have any pregnancy symptoms, even at the late stage - their behaviour and relationship with Shino remains pretty much the same. (I mean, even when hormonal, you can't really be angry at this softie, can you?)
Also, I imagine he may propose during his s/o pregnancy? He had always knew he wanted to officially make them their partner, so this felt like the perfect time to tie the knot tbh.

LOVE!! I SAW YOUR JHUMKA RIN DRABBLE AND OMG IM IN LOVE!! WE NEED MORE SOUTH ASAIN REP, PLEASE YOU’RE SO GOOD AT IT.
How about the blue lock boys seeing you in a saree or lengha for the first time?? Like all dolled up and shit ❤️🔥
➝ characters ♡ // itoshi sae, itoshi rin, mikage reo x desi!fem!reader (seperate ofc)
➝ warnings: kinda suggestive for sae's part (makeout session). rin makes reader sit on his lap, reo is a whole tease who's probably watched a bollywood movie and written some things down right before this happens.
note: THANKYOU SM for this 😕 this is actually kinda bad i think but idk ahdhsjndjd have it (cries) also im sorry if there's any typos im too tired to proofread it </3
ITOSHI SAE 。.゚+ ?¿
he can't even comprehend it at first
lowkey going insane
extra touchy because wtf why are u so hot ? why do u look so good in every single traditional thing u wear ?
good lord. this man is whipped for you im sorry but he's going feral
standing in the living room while you're walking over to him in that red saree, the sound of your heels against the floor and the way your bangles shimmer around your wrists as you adjust your pleats, he feels his entire body almost lose its balance.
with the way your body moves with so much confidence in your traditional clothes, he doesn't understand why you're frowning with an anxious edge to your voice as you speak, his eyes fixed on your subtle pout. "is this too much? be honest."
too much? be honest?
sae was dying to be honest— to tell you just how much you're driving him crazy and it hasn't even been a minute since you came out of the bedroom, but it would lead to something that would make you miss your dinner with your friends and make your efforts to put on that beautiful saree go to waste because he was already dreaming of having himself completely stained with that same red on your lips.
"you look just fine."
really? just fine? you looked more than just fine. he wasn't fine.
your eyes still twinkle with that uncertainty and he slowly takes a step further until his slightly shaky hands can finally hold your hips. his eyes keep on darting from your eyes to your lips and it's making your cheeks flush with heat. "i just don't know, it's been so long since i wore a saree and—"
"stop. kiss me."
"what?"
he takes a deep breath. "kiss me, right now."
your lips curve into a shy smile then as you stare at him with that look. that look. your cherry red lips. he can't handle it anymore. his arm desperately reaches around you until he's pressed against your front with that same red all over his mouth as you share the heated kiss he'd wanted ever since he saw you minutes ago. he feels hot everywhere. this isn't good.
but it's so good.
he knows you're running late for your dinner— but he doesn't care. he doesn't want to care. his fingers trace circles over the soft skin of your waist, and he's not sure how to pick you up when you're in a saree so he settles on just gently pushing you against the closest wall as you stumble just a bit in your heels and let him kiss you with all that he has. the sound of your bangles rings right next to his ears as you tug at his hair and gasp at the way his fingers caress your bare sides.
"you look absolutely stunning," he whispers against your lips breathlessly when he stops kissing you. his forehead presses against yours, your thumb slowly reaching lower to rub the red shade away from his mouth as you breathe heavily and giggle— but it's of no use because he's going to kiss you again anyway. "and i want you all to myself right now. so call your friends and tell them to wait, yeah?"
ITOSHI RIN 。.゚+ ?!
his brain short circuits tbh
he won't stop staring and drooling (internally)
please fix this boy with a kiss or two or maybe just tease him further who cares he's at your mercy now
"you never told me you had a saree."
"ah, i forgot about it too! do you remember my cousin who visited from home a few months ago?" you speak softly as you grab another safety pin from your little box and hold it casually between your teeth, adjusting the pallu over your shoulder so it's just right as you stare in the mirror. "she gifted me this."
you feel his eyes burn into your back as you attentively pin the layers of material over your shoulder so that your pallu stays in place throughout the night. you frown a bit, glancing back at where he's sitting on the edge of the bed. "are you okay?"
he blinks twice and notices he's been biting his lip the whole time. "yes."
you nod, humming as you continue to do some touch ups. it had been a while since you wore a saree, so its not too surprising that you're not used to handling it too well. it's why you've pinned the material at most places so you don't have to take care of it too much, thanks to the tips you remember from back home.
and just once you're finished, you finally turn around with a satisfied sigh, grinning as you give him a pose, your right hand resting on your waist as you let your pallu drape over your left arm. "i'm finally done. god, it's been such a long time since i wore a saree. does it look okay?"
he blinks again, mouth opening and closing as he tries to find the right word. his gaze doesn't shift away from you. the material of your light colored saree is quite transparent, he notices. he wishes instantly that he didn't notice because it makes him feel even more attracted to you— and it suddenly gets really difficult to keep his hands to himself. he clutches the sheets under him as you walk over.
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, the word echoes in his mind.
but he can't say it for some reason. his face feels hotter when you come and stand in front of him, and it's so hard to tear his eyes away from your visible stomach but he still does it anyway, turquoise eyes staring up at you as you raise an eyebrow at him expectantly. it's not like it's a new thing to him to see your stomach— crop tops existed. but seeing you in something that plays a role in your culture, and seeing you look absolutely breathtaking in it almost makes your boyfriend melt.
"you look beautiful." he manages to speak, still too afraid to touch you as if this saree just made you so much more valuable. so much more delicate. so much more powerful too, because he doubts he can handle any more of your beauty if he keeps staring.
you chuckle at his state, before leaning down to kiss his forehead. it's when he takes the chance and pulls you down to sit sideways on his lap, face still a little flushed, but a glint of adoration in his eyes as he pecks your cheek in return softly, his hand snaking around from behind you completely, slipping under your pallu as his warm palm gently rests on your stomach, making butterflies erupt throughout you as you lean closer to him.
"baby, you know i have to go." you grin as you talk just above a whisper, index finger tracing his lips slowly. rin knew just the right way to tempt you.
"i know." he says, but his tone is enough to tell you he clearly doesn't care.
"rin." you say in a slightly stern tone. however, the smile on your face doesn't leave.
but after you say his name like that, he's kissing your lips already, tasting the sweet and expensive lipstick on you as he holds you flush against him. his other hand carefully pushes your loose strands of hair behind your ear as he slowly holds your chin right after, mumbling quietly in the middle of his gentle kiss, "five more minutes, pretty. you look too good like this for me to let you go so soon."
MIKAGE REO 。.゚+
he's gonna wife you up right there
gets you an expensive lehnga from india for your friend's desi wedding
how did he get a connection there? who fucking knows. all that matters is that his woman gets to look gorgeous in her traditional clothes
purposely making you cringe is his new favourite thing
"i knew that color would look good on you." he says as he opens the car door for you, a low whistle following as you step out carefully with your hand tight in his.
"i still can't believe this, reo." you shake your head as you start walking to the entrance of the restaurant, his hand now on your lower back as he quickly nods back at the driver and guides you forward— your lips twitching in a pathetic attempt to hold back a smile when you feel several eyes on you already.
"anything for you, i've told you this a hundred times, baby."
"yeah, but a lehnga? and this expensive?" you chuckle, looking at him as if he'd grown three heads as you both continue to walk. "where did that thought even come from?"
"your cousin once sent me a picture of you wearing one from a few years ago. i'm gonna be honest, you looked really sexy." he shrugs, earning a light slap to his shoulder as he starts to laugh. "and i thought, why not?"
you can't help but feel warmth rising up your cheeks, and you're so glad your cheeks aren't red. you look down as you walk, to make sure you aren't stepping on your long skirt as you hold it up just a little.
he notices that and the smirk on his face makes you feel too much at once.
"want me to carry you? like they do in—"
"baby, please don't." you shake your head as you laugh, walking faster once you see your friends standing right at the entrance of the big venue, leaving him behind in an attempt to hide your embarrassment and your flustered face.
but you don't make it that far and soon you feel his hand around your wrist. your eyes widen as you gasp and get pulled behind in one swift movement, your heavy outfit making you sway without balance and you instantly rest your other hand on his chest to make sure you don't crash into him when he pulls you in. he wraps his arm around your waist to keep you close, smiling innocently as you glare.
"i think this is where they start playing the lovey-dovey background music now. should we kiss?"
you can't stop yourself and you rest your forehead on his shoulder as you laugh loudly. "you're insane."
"insane for you." he winks, puckering his lips lightly as you continue to laugh from cringing so much. he was obviously playing around to tease you, and it was working.
however, you finally give in after a few moments as you press your lips on his in a sweet, chaste kiss— your face warm when reo's hand squeezes your side and his fingers trace over your curves ever so lightly, making goosebumps rise on your skin.
once you pull away, you notice he's more sincere now as he whispers softly, eyes not leaving yours. "you look amazing, y/n. from head to toe, everything about you tonight is even more breathtaking."
now that he's less playful, it means much more to you than it did before. "thank you." you whisper back, the gentle smile on your face changing into a smirk as you suddenly pull him closer by the collar of his suit so that he's resting his forehead against yours. his breath hitches just a bit when you look at him like that. your shimmering lehnga is mesmerizing enough— but your eyes have his knees going weak as he lets out a soft breath and his lips capture yours again.
your hands go up to his shoulders to squeeze as he now uses both of his arms to strongly hold you close to him and he tugs at your bottom lip gently. a few seconds pass and you hear your friends laugh from a distance, your eyebrows furrowing in confusion as you still continue the kiss but then it starts; the lovey-dovey background music from the inside of the open venue, which makes reo let out an amused huff of air as he picks you up and spins you around, keeping the kiss going until you're both breathless and dizzy.

-Sam, stop making random au's you're never going to write challenge impossible-
[Pictured in the first image are several doodles of Silas the mandalorian, Myles the Mandalorian and Jango Fett. Silas is depicted sitting down and leaning against a half wall in thought while Myles leans over it, beside him. Silas is also depicted with a side profile in one doodle, lifting Jango up by the waist with Jango cupping his face in a kiss in another, Jango leaning on his shoulder asleep in one while Silas watches fondly, and Silas kissing Myles while holding hands in another. Myles is depicted with a side profile in one image, and affectionately holding his arm around Jango's collarbone in another. The second image is a larger version of the first doodle of Silas and Myles, with the caption of Silas and Myles speaking.
Silas: I can't believe I'm going to sleep with him.
Myles: You don't have to.
Silas: No, I'm gonna.]
I cannot stop making silly Au's, I just can't and it's a problem at this point? Also just because I don't continue posting about au's I've made doesn't mean I forgot I still very much obsess over them I just forget that posting is a thing until I make a new one. Might make a master list post of all my silly Au's tbh that way people can see them all and maybe ask questions and maybe I can doodle more and-
Anywayyy! Here's another happy ending starwars au but this time in the form of Jaster Lives!! (Even though Jaster isn't pictured. But he's alive guys-)
I can only be normal about Jango Fett for so long guys. And for the past...months and I do mean MONTHS him, Silas and Myles have plagued me??? They won't let me leave.
These three just make me so ill oh my god you don't understand. There's barely anything in cannon (actually I don't even think it's cannon anymore but I also stopped carrying about cannon so) but I love them. There's so much that there could be! "I'll follow Jango and no one else" like I'm sorry? That level of devotion??? Also Jango actively loosing it when Myles dies ??? As a final straw? Silas dying words begging Dooku not to tell Jango if his betrayal? It's all awful and I love it so much it hurts so good?
Too bad this is a happy ending au so they're all FINE. The designs depicted are actually much more concepts of an au, than they are an actual au? Like there are several au's of mine that branch off of Jaster living and these designs specifically. So take that as you will. I do want to make a more in depth post going over their designs but for now here we are. (Also Silas is supposed to have a burn mark on his upper arm and in just forgot smh)
You may also notice this is sorta Silas centric and you'd be correct because THERE'S ZERO FANART OF HIM??? LIKE AT ALL??? okay maybe there is but I haven't found it and that's upsetting cause I love him. And yes I did give him long hair. It was supposed to be just a smidge longer than his original length but actually the more I drew it the longer it got and I'm okay with it.
Anyway I have been...rambling for way too long about these three of you read through all of that I- thank you? It's not out of my system though so like...if you want more...
Oh I forgot that they're all very gay for each other btw. If that wasn't obvious? They all kiss. They're all three boyfriends.
I love any and all the pictures of their relationships with one another tbh! Whether they're all platonic, one's third wheeling, queer platonic, brotherly love, etc. I just want them to all be happy together okay?
#jango fett#star wars#jango fett open seasons#star wars legends#silas the mandalorian#myles the mandalorian#silas the mandalorian/jango fett/myles the mandalorian#star wars fanart#i just want more content of them together is that too much to ask#all the fanfic with them is centered around Obi-wan or the and i love Obi but i want these three to have their spotlight moment#they deserve a nice fic with just the three of them ya know?

PLEASE DO IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY
(link to previous post)
alright. doing this hc style because that'd be fun. Also committing a cardinal sin in writing directly into tumblr drafts instead of a second document so lets see how this goes.
uhm "let's see how it goes" it's been almost 5 months since i typed that. writing into drafts is the easiest way to forget about something it seems! Whatever I'll answer this now
and now its been 1 full year since i received this ask and i am only now finishing it up.... not doing graphics or putting this in my masterlist or anything so have fun finding it later on.
Under cut due to length! Primarily sfw with mentions of hooking up
RINNE:
Opens up a dating app profile for the fuck of it while he's really bored, it's not really his style, he'd much rather go out and physically meet someone tbh but why not
Matches with a good amount of people but tends to get bored of conversation with his matches realllly quickly. If he is vibing with someone though he's also really quick to invite them out to a bar or something
If you manage to catch his attention. and you accept his invitation, expect to be dragged around for a whole night of shenanigans
His ideal date is getting lunch, walking around until dark, getting tipsy, then bar hopping. He gets his duties done earlier on in the day so that he can spend the rest of the day with you.
If he ends up not liking you of course, he's not going to spend any more time with you than he has to. He comes up with some random excuse that you both know is bullshit and if you question him, he's not afraid to just tell you with no sugar coating that he's not into you
He'll be flirty and suggestive but he'll probably hold off on actually initiating anything until you either ask him to or make the first move yourself. He doesn't have something against some casual fun. He doesn't really have anywhere to take you back to thought so unless you have your own place, then an alleyway it is
He might actually treat you to a meal as thanks afterwards and just chill with you. After you get up to any kind of fun he's actually pretty calm afterwards.
He won't block you afterwards even if he wasn't really a fan of you. He'll still might hit you up again when he's bored as long as you weren't an explicitly bad lay. There's definitely potential to go from fwbs to lovers with him
Spend enough time with him and then one day he'll just show up and announce you're dating and from then on you'd be stuck with him lol
HIMERU:
So this either goes one of two ways. Either someone else signs him up for a dating app and secures him a date and he gets guilted into now leaving the person hanging OR when out of town he posts a profile with no images of his face just his body to get laid.
In the first scenario, he does his best to seem polite but ultimately disinterested. If you somehow manage to charm him and he has a good time, he'll be pretty conflicted.
He knows it's a really bad idea, but he won't be able to stop thinking about you. He might try to ghost you for a bit in hopes it'll smother whatever interest he had, but it probably doesn't work.
Either he caves when you message him after a good few days or he caves after a week and comes up with some excuse for not responding. From there it's complicated. He's very secretive and honestly it's a red flag but hey if you ignore it that's on you.
If it seems like you can't handle the way he keeps you at an arms-length for a while or that you might be a threat somehow, he will leave you. Most likely via sending a breakup text and then immediately blocking your number.
If we're talking about the second scenario though? His profile is just a pure thirst trap and he swipes on any person who seems like they'd be down for a no strings attached fuck. He's super quick to unmatch or block people if they give him the wrong vibes.
If you fit his criteria and seem like a good fit? He'll invite you to a hotel and spend a few hours with you. After it's all over he'll probably order some food for you both and stay with you until you fall asleep, then he runs off before you wake up.
Depending on how much he liked you and how trustworthy you seemed, he might thank you and promise to text you the next time he's in town orrrr he might also send a goodbye text then block you.
potential for FWB to lovers? would have to really be a slowburn but the potential is there.
NIKI
Ok so Niki is quite busy with his day-to-day life and I can't really see him going out of his way to set up a dating app account. He's another one who probably gets into this from someone else either making him an account or someone else convinces him to do so.
He's pretty liberal with his swiping. He doesn't exactly have a specific goal in mind while he's doing it so he kinda just goes for the ones whose bio makes it seem like they'd get along with him
He's pretty down to go out for a meal with most people relatively quickly but it might take him a bit longer for him to invite somebody out. When he does decide he likes someone enough to invite them out, he's honestly pretty likely to invite them to cafe cinnamon for a treat.
Niki's genuinely a friendly guy and seeks to know someone as a person and a friend before he makes any romantic or sexual moves on anyone. This doesn't mean he wouldn't reciprocate if someone else made the first move though.
If you make a pass at him, he's generally speaking down pretty quickly. Maybe not first date level quickly, but still pretty quickly. He's not really easily embarrassed or a prude by any means so if he likes someone as a person well enough, he doesn't see why not to enjoy himself.
He'll take you back to his place or go with you to yours without much fuss. After you guys have fun, he'll probably try to make some food or raid your kitchen for snacks. He has to feed himself first because of his condition, but he'll always feed you too.
I imagine he's probably bad at reaching out to people first to make plans and often loses track of how long it's been since he last talked to someone, but don't mistake that for disinterest! he's pretty non judgemental and as long as you weren't explicitly an ass, he's very likely to give you a second date.

I think I finally have the energy for more rewatch
We're on the home stretch now folks
*cries*
s5 ep9 An Ill Wind
Me when I started doing this nearly two months ago: oh my god I can't do this for every episode it'll take me MONTHS to watch them all I want is to refresh my memory of the show enough to write my damn fic
Me now, having done this for Yes, Every Fucking Episode: I'm not ready for the show to be over ;_; Also I am devastatingly obsessed with Catra and learned I have a specific kink I didn't know the name of before and I keep practicing eyeliner like every night so I can cosplay Catra :D
ahahahah oh god
also from here on out I am going to not read the synopses
(I didn't do that for most of the episodes anyway tbh)
Glimmer can teleport relatively far distances with multiple people again but Catra is NOT a fan
also they're toUCHING
Adora, looking into the woods: hey come look at this
Catra: *still suppressing puking from some form of motion sickness caused by teleportation*
oh they find the empty torn up camp
Glimmer: maybe they went to Bright Moon or Mystacor? Catra: dude you know they could all be chipped so maybe we should be careful Glimmer: oh you don't trust princesses? Adora: Catra's right Catra: *grins in satisfaction*
just look at her
the fuckin. lack of subtlety here. as always. *chef's kiss*
("ugh they didn't HAVE to be so obvious don't you think it's Too Much" listen I've literally seen people who've watched Arcane be surprised to find out that people are shipping Vi and Caitlyn. "Really? I didn't think that was romantic." You didn't? Did we watch the same fucking show??? The one where those two have romantic tension so thick you could carve it with a KNIFE? The one where they had an overdramatic breakup scene in the rain even tho they hadn't kissed or anything? The one where they lay on Caitlyn's bed and talked about Vi's past while making significant eye contact and holding hands and Caitlyn pet Vi's face? That scene where they hug on the bridge and Vi does that like, face pet thing before walking off and they're clearly both in AGONY at being separated?! Are you really that fucking oblivious??? Jesus H Christ. Yes She-Ra made it SUPER OBVIOUS because some people are BAD AT PICKING UP THIS SHIT also She-Ra is aimed at kids and they haven't learned subtlety. Arcane was aimed at adults.)
no really I've seen people express surprise that people think they're going to be a couple. when that ^ was after they'd known each other like two hours
(seriously tho, if you can handle violence (there's a LOT ngl, it is not a show for kids) then you should watch Arcane, the people who make it have made it pretty clear that it's gonna be canon, and the next season is out in November; but also leaving shipping aside it's just REALLY, REALLY GOOD)
ANYWAY back to other animated lesbians
lol Glimmer teleports them all again without warning and Catra really does look like she's gonna hurl
And Erelandia ain't looking so good, oops
(but also yes Adora helped Catra up again)
intro is the same as the last episode
AHAHAH a dozen planets are rebelling against Horde Prime he's so pissed. And they apparently all mention She-Ra
yeah I am again surprised at how much of the actual plot I forgot lol (but I remembered that Glimmer liked to sneak into the kitchen to eat cake with her hands. Y'know. Important things.)
given his tiny facial reactions I think that's Hordak-Hordak. Our Hordak. Not the Wrong Hordak. I think.
once again I ask myself: where did y'all get those outfits
Entrapta teaches Wrong Hordak how to wink and it's so cute. I also love that she explains what it means--because I'm sure she had to consciously learn it, too: "It signals unspoken intent behind my words. In this case, our mutual deception of the Horde. Now you try."
awww
but yeah everyone in town is terrified and won't talk to them, and especially doesn't want to talk about any princesses
"should I buy property here?"
"...go team."
C'MON THAT WAS FUNNY, GUYS
Also, note to self, Melog definitely understands human speech--they split up, Catra is told to stick with Entrapta and Melog (and Catra frowns at this, just barely) and Adora tells Melog to keep them safe and it does a little noise of affirmation. (wait is Melog a he or a she or a they?)(fan wiki says it's an it but dang I feel weird using "it")
Okay so the scene where Glimmer, Adora, and Bow hide in a shop and then end up arguing with the shopkeeper is like, fascinating on multiple levels
Because on the one hand: I can't blame the townspeople for just keeping their head down and trying to get out alive. On the other hand, reporting them to the Horde isn't cool; they could just pretend not to be suspicious of these guys; there are in fact lots of places on the spectrum between "actively collaborating with one's oppressors" and "mounting a full-scale armed rebellion."
But on the other other hand I also think it's interesting that Adora's the only one of the three who's like "nah dude just let these people live their lives omg," something about Adora having lived in an oppressive environment for her whole childhood maybe
poor Adora someone get her an ibuprofen
Anyway Spinerella found them ack
Also Melog steals an apple for Catra, just magically takes it from someone's basket and into Catra's hand, which implies they're communicating non-verbally more than just moods, though I suppose "hungry, that apple looks good" is a mood
speaking of things that would make ANYone motion sick--
(Adora is saying it) Catra's right there, dude. You spent the last four seasons fighting her. lol.
Oh I paused it too soon lol Catra says this line:
LOLOL
Back on Horde Prime's ship, Hordak keeps looking at the chip thing Entrapta gave him and gets caught by Prime, whoopsie
oh hey, lore: Horde Prime can't access ALL the memories in his previous bodies without going into them, and he keeps his old bodies around in that green goo, that's fucking weird and gross, anyway he plugs a connection into his old body
Horde Prime: "The First Ones sought a new source of power of ancient worlds. Why? Why bend themselves to the whims of magic and myth?"
Poor Hordak has flashbacks to Entrapta and the Fright Zone. Mostly Entrapta. Including a moment of her looking at him fondly--I think it's the moment when she says "Imperfection is beautiful."
Horde Prime: "The fools took their secrets with them when they died. But I will find another way."
(I've seen a fan discussion suggest that there aren't actually any First Ones left--that when Light Hope made it so Adora came through the portal, the portal itself went back in time. I like that explanation in part because it means in my fic I don't have to figure out why Adora doesn't go looking for her birth family. Which tbh most fic-writers don't worry about anyway lol.)
Back with the rebellion, poor Catra is once again trying not to lose her lunch because they've all teleported.
And Netossa is like WTF IS THAT BITCH DOING HERE
Melog doesn't like that
Adora: "It's a long story, but she's with us now" Netossa: "...really??" (Catra in the background: hisses)
BAHAHA and then Netossa spots Wrong Hordak and they have to explain, no that one's with us, too 😬
But yeah p much the entire rebellion has been chipped except like Netossa and Perfuma
Adora and Bow have a guilt trip about having been gone for so long (...to rescue the queen! and also Catra)
and Catra's remembering what it's like to be chipped :(
Glimmer gives them all a ra-ra little speech
Adora just makes the sword appear in her hand without transforming lol that's cool
but they're doing the "I'm in" "yeah me too!" thing and
like, on dates?
(lol)
yayyy
Anyway the team heads back to Erelandia and starts kicking some ass
there's a great moment when Catra's like "you go deal with Spinnerella we'll take care of the bots" and Adora says "be careful" and Catra grins and says "always am!" like ma'am that is a LIE
Spinnerella is torturing some poor villager, and Netossa is worried her wife isn't still "in there"
Adora would know. From literal, personal experience. ;_;
She transforms into She-Ra and Netossa literally does a whistle of appreciation and says, "New look?" and She-Ra grins back. And somehow that is, like. Super queer. Like literally just one lesbian to another, in a flirty-but-not kinda way. Like I have *had* those interactions, where the underlying meaning is "I know we're each in a relationship, so I'm not actually hitting on you; but as one queer woman to another I want you to know that I see what you're putting out there and I like it." It's one of the best things??????
Netossa gives a little speech to Spinnerella about how she loves her and Spinnerella actually comes back for a few seconds ;_; but then she's gone again, but She-Ra and Netossa convince her to disappear for a while at least? And the locals rejoice.
And Catra would know. ;_; (She rubs the back of her neck after saying this.)
Anyway word gets back to Horde Prime that She-Ra is back on Etheria :D and he's so fucking pissed he's going to go there
...and Hordak spends a long moment looking at that chip from Entrapta again
They go to where the rebellion is actually hiding out, Glimmer and Catra recognize it
and I'M BLANKING ON WHY THEY'RE REACTING THIS WAY HELP seriously I have spent like ten minutes trying to figure it out, I don't think they talked about it while on Horde Prime's ship? Fuck!! IF YOU KNOW PLZ TELL ME
Any Perfuma ties them up and makes sure they're not chipped and then it's Happy Reunion Time with everyone :D
Adora to Catra: it's time for you to meet everyone Catra: are you sure??
I got that one without trying I didn't know it was coming lololol I was trying to get a shot of Catra looking hopeful
poor thing
Adora: long story but she's with us now!!!
Adora (well, as She-Ra) gives them all a little pep talk
ANNND EPISODE OVER
and I don't have time to do another one tonight and I won't have time tomorrow until like after 6:30pm aaaaaaugh
ON THE UPSIDE I only work two days this upcoming week.
Because it's Holy Week. I'm going to be in church like every day starting Wednesday and twice a couple of days ahahaha including an hour in the middle of the night on Thursday.
It is DEEPLY HILARIOUS to me that I'm going to end up watching the last episodes of She-Ra mere days before Easter. Like I literally have four left. Assuming I watch one tomorrow, I could end up watching the next one Tuesday night and watching the last two BEFORE GOING TO CHURCH ON WEDNESDAY how tf am I gonna focus for SHIT lolol

random question but as someone who's considering trying to do my own rewrite esque thing... is it weird that i want to like. Fix bramble and squirrel's relationship instead of having him continue to be an abuser? Maybe it's just the fact that I liked them as a kid (or that i havent read SqH/past OOTS) but there's this weird disconnect where the bramble in my head is apparently a lot different than other people read in the text lol. figured id ask you since you're The wc rewrite person
You can sort through my tags on Bramblestar if you'd like ideas. I am the king of "Bramble why can't you be GOOD." I talk a lot about how he is abusive, what I enjoy and what I don't enjoy about the idea of an abuse plotline, so on.
I personally won't recommend fixing Bramblesquirrel as a ship though. I think it would be a lot better to rewrite them as adopted siblings... tbh I've never seen a romantic BrambleSquirrel rewrite that didn't keep blaming Squilf as "just as bad" and "pushing each other's buttons" which I think is a really, really uncomfortable implication considering canon
Like... unfortunately, fanfic is inherently a commentative medium. We can fix, we can prune, we can rewrite, but we can't break free of the implications of canon.
I personally feel like the line is so fine that's impossibly razor thin.
So if you are committed to fixing BrambleSquirrel, please try to make sure to treat Squilf as valid. Bramble is constantly downplaying and ignoring her because she's loud and assertive, even though she's nearly always right.
She couldn't trust him with that secret; the second he found out he abandoned his family and acted passive aggressive for an entire year. He trained in the Dark Forest and let Leafpool take the fall for secrets he leaked to Hawkfrost. He throws Firestar's legacy at Squilf while getting pissed off that anyone throws Tiger's legacy back at him, even when they're not.
He holds the fact she wants a new baby over Squilf's head to invalidate her concerns all Squilf's Hope long, screams at her for caring about endangering kittens, and then leads a battle patrol against pregnant women.
Please please keep these in mind. Please either eliminate these, or for fuck's sake, don't "Bothsides" these issues
I think if you're going to fix Bramblesquirrel, you cannot give Bramble power. You'll have to completely change these situations so that he is not the deputy or leader, as these conflicts drive the plot. I can recommend Brackenstar or Thornstar instead, have Squilf lose a deputy position over the secret, Bramble is upset but supportive.
(Especially tap into how ThunderClan treats the three differently after this reveal, "i was angry you didn't trust me, but i see why you did it <:/")
Keep the internal arguments between the two of them harmless. Model something like Honeymooners, where in spite of their arguments being loud and blustering, Squilf is clearly never ACTUALLY afraid of him and NONE of these fights end in Big Summer Blowouts.
(And a side note; if your relationships look like that, you deserve better. It is actually not normal to have huge fights every month. I was Shocked but it is true.)
Remember, remember, remember; you have to SHOW me them being a healthy couple in spite of any arguing they do. Imagine that you CANT tell me "they love each other." You can never say that word-- can I still tell they are a loving couple?
If the answer is ever no, reevaluate.
#Bones Gives Advice#Am i really The Rewrite Guy? Lmao I'm flattered but like#I am just sitting here#I am drinking gingerbread coffee out of a winnie the pooh mug#I'm like. Im just a little guy

The Yandere Alphabet with Sawyer
♡ Sawyer's Yandere Alphabet ♡
(Tbh it's been awhile since I looked at the full thing I had to look up a resource for it just to remember half the things on it.)
♡ Affection: How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get? ♡
♡ Sawyer shows her affection with gifts and providing you a life of luxury. You're her prize for all the work she did for centuries and so she'll treat you like her beloved treasure. Anything you need to be comfortable within her hold and it's yours. She's not one for physical affection, she's just really busy but if that brings you joy she'll change the layout of her office so you can cuddle as she works. The only time you'll see her really affectionate is around heats(shh that's a secret for later) ♡
♡ Blood: How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling? ♡
♡ She herself does not need to make her hands messy however most of the time she will choose to get messy behind the scenes. There's just a sense of catharsis that comes from knowing she just slaughtered someone who offended her darling. Or that woman who bought you a drink at the bar the one night she decided to allow you to club with your friends. ♡
♡ Cruelty: How would they treat their darling once abducted? Would they mock them? ♡
♡ In terms of yanderes, she's less cruel than some of the others I have but she's not above isolating you and depriving you of your niceties. She pays for you to be comfortable in HER hold, meaning if you want to step out of line and not be her good mate, those things will vanish. She has a bland, boring room set up for when you're not yet ready to be hers, but other than that you still will get fed and properly loved on(Loved on meaning you get to come to work with her and sit on her lap at the office for the full day. Lucky you!) ♡
♡ Darling: Aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darling’s will? ♡
♡ She's not one who needs your touch often but if she feels you aren't behaving as a mate should then she will need to compensate for the luxuries you won't allow her to give you, with her touch and attention instead. This might mean forced cuddling for hours or just making you sit on her lap all day. Otherwise she doesn't enjoy forcing things on her darling. Even during heat it has to be mutual, just don't move out of her grasp or her instincts might force her to take action more than you're comfortable with. ♡
♡ Exposed: How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling? ♡
♡ What heart? No but seriously it may not seem like it but her giving you a lavish lifestyle is how she bears her heart. Every time you use her card to buy even a little coffee, she feels a pinch of excitement and love. Whenever she returns to the penthouse and you've bought cute new bedding, she feels like it's a very intimate moment. A perceptive darling can tell because she always greets you with a longer hug, maybe even a long inhale, when you've used her money that day. ♡
♡ Fight: How would they feel if their darling fought back? ♡
♡ She sees it as prolonging the inevitable, while she would rather have her darling love her sooner than later, you have centuries together, she'll endure your silly tantrums. ♡
♡ Game: Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape? ♡
♡ It's very much not enjoyable at all, if her darling views it as a game then that would only anger her slightly. Don't worry she's a patient brat tamer, you will behave. You will be hers. ♡
♡ Hell: What would be their darling’s worst experience with them? ♡
♡ Heats, she's suffocating with her need for affection during them, they could last months if she's not getting what she wants, and during this time you literally can't even go to the bathroom alone, she needs to wait outside the door and you have to do it quickly or she might start to get antsy. Luckily they only happen once every year or two. ♡
♡ Ideals: What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling? ♡
♡ She imagines you replacing your wardrobe with the nicest things every year, the penthouse full of the expensive collectibles you've gathered over the years, and you at the center sleeping comfortably on a blanket that probably cost 10,000$. ♡
♡ Jealousy: Do they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope? ♡
♡ For such a powerful being, surprisingly yes she gets very very jealous, other the most insignificant things. She tries to justify it as she's simply getting rid of a pest for her darling but really it's just jealousy. ♡
♡ Kisses: How do they act around or with their darling? ♡
♡ She's condescending when you aren't behaving, you just don't know how to act yet, you'll pick it up soon enough. When you do act like her mate then she's more quiet. It might not seem like she's happy but again, a perceptive mate can notice that she's gotten her work done quicker than usual so she can take you home and eat dinner together. She's much more gentle in the way she commands you when she's happy. She might even be nicer to her employees by a small fraction. ♡
♡ Love letters: How would they go about courting or approaching their darling? ♡
♡ She'll just call you into her office and expect you to understand that you are her mate instantly. If you are confused then she will explain but she really needs it to get through your head. ♡
♡ Mask: Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else? ♡
♡ Yes, she's way meaner around everyone but you, she acts like a lot of the others in the city do with their mates, but if you told anyone else that they'd look at you like a freak because to them, she's the vicious boss. ♡
♡ Naughty: How would they punish their darling? ♡
♡ She'll just take away your luxuries and put you in a bland, boring room except for when you accompany her to work, you'll break soon, mostly from boredom, isn't life nicer when you let her spoil you? ♡
♡ Oppression: How many rights would they take away from their darling? ♡
♡ Friends are a right that get taken away quickly as they soon become an obstacle in your relationship. You are allowed to have time to yourself though as long as you are within sight of your guards, there are four of them assigned to watch you. Time to yourself is removed if you aren't being a good mate because then you have to come with her to the office daily. You're also allowed to wander the penthouse, there's nothing there that could possibly harm you. ♡
♡ Patience: How patient are they with their darling? ♡
♡ She's immortal darling, she has all the time in the world to wait for you to come around. ♡
♡ Quit: If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on? ♡
♡ Let's say you did die, she would simply bring you back to life, but if you did die she would be changed forever. She'd likely quit being the boss and ferret you away to a cabin in the woods for the rest of your eternities. But on the off chance that she can't bring you back, she would never move on, I think she'd massacre every creature hoping to sped up the end of the world so in the next lifetime she'll find you again. ♡
♡ Regret: Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let their darling go? ♡
♡ Never, next question. ♡
♡ Stigma: What brought about this side of them (childhood, curiosity, etc)? ♡
♡ Her kind(???) are always very possessive and obsessive about their mates but her centuries alone have certainly made it a bit worse. ♡
♡ Tears: How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves? ♡
♡ It's your own fault that you won't allow her to comfort and care for you as a proper mate. She'll feel bad watching you but there isn't anything she can do until you come to her for comfort. ♡
♡ Unique: Would they do anything different from the classic yandere? ♡
♡ She rarely tells you how much she loves you with words, only the perceptive would know. ♡
♡ Vice: What weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape? ♡
♡ Good luck trying, this is a god tier threat. If she had a weakness, then the gods would have struck her down ages ago. ♡
♡ Wit’s end: Would they ever hurt their darling? ♡
♡ No, she doesn't need to, she just needs to wait, even years doesn't feel too bad compared to centuries alone. ♡
♡ Xoanon: How much would they revere or worship their darling? To what length would they go to win their darling over? ♡
♡ Her darling is her treasure, the culmination of all her hard work over centuries, over bloody, cruel wars and battles. Her darling is placed on a high pedestal no matter how stupid her darling might act at first. The moment she's decided on you as her mate, you're elevated above even herself. ♡
♡ Yearn: How long do they pine after their darling before they snap? ♡
♡ Not long, she decides you're her mate quickly, and takes you quickly. ♡
♡ Zenith: Would they ever break their darling? ♡
♡ No, even if she did break you hypothetically, she'd try to erase your memory and fix you again and not repeat the mistakes of last time. ♡

for the 2023 in review ask game
1, 18, 23
Yay, thanks for the ask!! <3 (2023 in review ask game)
one. What’s something new that you tried in a fic this year? How did it turn out and would you do it again?
I never thought I'd write about Garak dying in a fic because it makes me too sad to even consider, so that was a new thing for sure. As for how it turned out, the fic ended up amazing tbh (Julian goes full mad scientist and brings him back to life). <3 But I also don't plan to write that particular scenario again lmao. Anyway, the fic in question is save me from the dark (The Wire AU).
In terms of craft rather than content, in nothing to hide (holo!siskarak OMB AU) I used the format of switching back and forth between a series of flashbacks and a conversation about the events in those flashbacks to great effect. I managed to avoid writing all of the tedious descriptions of how characters got from point A to point B, as well as the rehashings of an episode everyone knows by heart, and ALSO skip over the gaps in the dialogue I didn't know how to bridge seamlessly. Felt like such a lifehack when I realized I could structure the fic that way. It won't work for everything, but I really am gonna try to apply what I learned from that experience to writing future fics.
18. What was the hardest fic to title?
home is wherever I’m with you (post-Second Skin garak exile angst + garashir first time). Pretty sure that I had that fic written and postable like weeks to a month before I had a title for it, like, that was the ONLY hold up. And I'm still not fully satisfied with that title tbh, but it's Fine.
23. Share the final version of a sentence or paragraph you struggled with. What about it was challenging? Are you happy with how it turned out?
Hmm. One kind and helpful thing that my brain does for me is that I immediately forget all the details of the parts that I struggled to write and/or was not happy with, once I've posted the fic. XD
(I just went back into a fic to try to quickly find a part I struggled with and ended up making minor wording tweaks and typo fixes throughout the whole fic, so at least I can definitively answer the "Are you happy with how it turned out?" part of this question with a resounding "ALMOST, but not entirely," which is basically applicable to every sentence I've ever written+posted lol!)
Anyway, here's some sentences from a section of the world will never take my heart (In Purgatory's Shadow/By Inferno's Light whumpy hurt/comfort) that I def struggled with:
Julian presses his cheek hard against Garak’s shoulder and greasy tufts of his hair brush the side of Garak’s chin. Under the sharp smell of his blood, there’s an additional sourness that makes it clear that Julian hasn’t had a chance to wash up since his stint in solitary, but Garak doesn’t even consider pulling away.
This bit in the first draft was originally much more focused on Garak enjoying the feeling of having Julian in his arms but I changed that (upon your excellent and much appreciated suggestions, stuffedtiger! <3) in order to better fit the tone that I was going for. I do think it still reads romantic but at least now the romance is not the focus, the focus is more towards the horrible situation they're in.

[assuming only Ikki and Ace & Sakura and Neon really met each other after the Desire Royale and bonded)
Yukimi: So we’re going on a trip,
Kagerou: I would actually suggest doing against that.
Kagerou: Your trips have all ended in disasters.
Daiji: And who do you think was at fault for the first one?
Kagerou: Guilty as charged.
Daiji: But Kagerou’s right.
Genta: Its not a vacation.
Yukimi: Papa-san and I are the only ones going to that trip about new safety regulations in bathhouses.
Sakura: Eh? There are conferences like those?
Yukimi: It’s always been updated.
Yukimi: We usually have the Ushijimas around to babysit you three.
Yukimi: Or you were at school that babysitting isn’t an issue.
Ikki: But we have Koshiro.
Yukimi: I am not bringing Koushiro on the off chance that something untoward happens again.
Ikki: Don’t wo-
Yukimi: You’re out as well, Ikki.
Ikki: Huh, but why?
Genta: You’ve done so much for the family already.
Yukimi: Sakura has a group study with her friends.
Yukimi: Daiji and Hiromi are busy with blue bird.
Yukimi: Didn’t you have some soccer practice?
Ikki: I’m sure I ca-
Yukimi: No.
Sakura: if Ikki-nii’s out…
Sakura: Then who?
Daiji: There’s Hikaru and Tama-
Sakura: Ikki-nii might as well look after Koshiro if we’re leaving it to those two.
Yukimi: I can trust Hikaru.
Yukimi: I am not comfortable with Tamaki holding the baby.
Daiji: And Hana is busy with Blue Bird as well.
Daiji: What about Keiwa?
Ikki: The Tanuki Rider?
Daiji: Last I heard he was still studying to graduate.
Ikki: I’ve heard he’s good with kids.
Sakura: Neon-chan does say that the volunteered at an orphanage from time to time.
Yukimi: Is it alright if we can take some of his time to watch Koshiro for us?
Daiji: Even if he does… how do we contact him?
Sakura: Ah! I have Neon-chan’s number, we can ask her to deliver us a message.
Ikki: Good idea!
I'm sure Keiwa won't mind hanging out with the Igarashi sibs for a few days :)) I think Ikki and the others can mostly manage on their own tbh, like making their meals, taking care of the bathhouse and cleaning up and such, but yeah with Koushiro being a baby he'd need a lot of attention.
Plus Yukimi's going to pay for his services which will go toward his and Sara's expenses for the month- so it's a win-win for Keiwa.

𝕂𝕚𝕟𝕜𝕥𝕠𝕓𝕖𝕣- "𝕣𝕦𝕝𝕖-𝕓𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕣"
𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒕𝒐𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝑫𝒂𝒚 2- 𝑭𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕
(cc!Dream Team)
A/N: Day 2 huh,,,, I know, I'm ridiculously behind ;; ,,, but I've decided, so as to not push myself too much, I'm going to be a lot more relaxed with my timings/schedule for kinktober. However, this does mean it may actually take months, perhaps, to finish all the prompts,,,, so I'm extremely sorry! Anyway, this fic was a bit of a challenge to write and tbh, writer's block struck me during the writing of it, so it's not my best work, but I tried,,, I hope it turned out okay? It's perhaps a bit "out-there" and definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's pure, kinky sin >:)
I have to say, though, the concept is highkey hot imo lmao,,, and I think you'll like it if you enjoy a lot of degradation and fleshlight content! So please enjoy!!
Genre/Warnings/Notes: 18+ smut, nsfw, afab reader, foursome dynamic/poly, dom!dteam and sub!reader, heavy fleshlight use, no skin-to-skin penetration, penetration using toy(s), heavy mention of punishment and rules, heavy degradation, slight spanking, choking, hair pulling, orgasm denial (ambiguous ending)
"Well, what do we have here?"
Oh no.
Those were the only words that ran through your mind as you entered a sort of fight-or-flight mode, frozen in place on the large bed, the sheets of which you were currently gripping ardently, entangled in desperate, coiling arches alike a snake would when mating- so vulnerable and weak. Your breathing hitched and pulse raced up to a rapid pace, so much so that you felt it in your fingertips, of which you had hurriedly removed from your oh-so-obviously dripping wet core.
They were home; you'd been caught. Caught breaking a rule, no less.
"Well, are you gonna answer me, slut? Or are you too pathetic to even manage to speak?" Dream's voice hissed out as he, alongside Sapnap and George, strode into the room, standing at the foot of your bed and towering above your naked form in such a manner and with such an expression that it was nothing short of menacing.
Where you tried to respond with a weak apology, your lips simply parted with a whimper instead, eyes darting across the room, unable to meet those of the three men. In an effort to negate this, Sapnap waltzed over to the side of your bed in an effort to get closer to your form, your body trembling with anticipation and nerves as he gripped your jaw harshly to point your eyesight back towards the two remaining males at the foot of your bed, a smirk present on each of their lips.
"C'mon, answer us. You already broke a rule, don't want things to get worse for you now, do we?" Sapnap breathed by your ear, leaning down to your face as he squatted by your bedside, grasping your wrists in his other, free hand to maneuver them away from where they were struggling to hide your body and gain some modesty. Your whole body shivered at the feeling of his breath by your neck.
"Couldn't even wait half an hour for us to get back from the store, could you? Had to touch yourself like a slut even when you know you're not supposed to, hmm?" chided George, his tone teasing and low in a rather successful effort to make you squirm against Sapnap's hold.
Suddenly all touch from your body was gone as Sapnap stood tall once more, making his way over to the two other males, all of them sharing a specific expression, of which seemed to contain a concoction of emotions, from smugness to hunger to cunning. As much as part of you wanted to shrink and hide away from their gaze and scrutiny, you found yourself hungering ever-more for them as they slyly whispered what you could only assume were plans of punishment to each other and traded looks of desire and unspoken agreements, still awaiting your response to all of their aforementioned questions and teasing. Mustering up just enough courage, you let your quivering lips fall open, apologising in an airy voice,
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. I-I just wanted all of you to touch me a-and fuck me, please! I'm sorry!"
At first, however, the only verbal response you received was a slight tsk from Sapnap and a huff of satisfaction disguised as distaste from George. Nonetheless, Dream soon followed suit, unable to hold back from teasing and pushing you further as you squirmed slightly under their gaze, as though you were trapped beneath the weight and gravity of your actions and their attention.
"Hmm, I don't know. You broke such an easy rule, Y/N. If you can't even be good and patient for us, then do you even deserve our cocks?" Dream teased, the blonde male chuckling when you whined in response.
From the corner of your eye, you could see George move towards the bedside table, pulling open a drawer with ease, all the while Dream continued, his tone much more stern and demanding than his prior teasing,
"Get on your hands and knees for us, slut. Rule-breakers deserve punishment"
A large proportion of your mind, despite the gravity of your current predicament, was half-tempted to whine and beg and kick up a fuss in an effort to gain sympathy (after all, all you desired were their big hard cocks inside you, and you wanted it now), however, upon meeting Dream's impatient gaze once more, your entire body tensed in instinctual, reactionary fear. Perhaps it was best not to push their buttons further you reluctantly decided as you shuffled weakly across the bed to bend over on your hands and knees, back arched as best you could so that your ass and pussy was on full display to Dream, Sapnap and George, of whom had moved back to stand with the duo, all 3 now holding objects you could not quite make out from your positioning. The prospect was daunting, at best; usually, that bedside table and its contents only meant vibrator-induced orgasmic torture for the next 3 hours at least. Thus, when a rough hand, of which you recognised quickly belonged to Dream, met your ass with a harsh slap, your whole body jolted with a whimper of shock and delicious pain. In an effort to view the scene unfolding behind you, your neck craned around to glimpse at Dream, fisting his hard-on with one hand and caressing your ass with the other, as well as at both Sapnap and George, of whom were equally tugging rather desperately at their own cocks as they shuffled towards either side of the bed by your head, the bed dipping ever so slightly where the toys were placed down nearby each of the tall males. That was, until your neck was rather unceremoniously grasped at, your head soon shoved into the pillow below it, a husky voice you recognised to be Sapnap's grunting with the effort of forcing your head downwards as his fingertips teasingly squeezed at your throat causing your head to spin.
"Did we say you could look? You're so useless, breaking rules, trying to see what toys we have," the stubble-clad male groaned out as he viewed your already-disheveled form.
All you could manage in response was a wheeze shortly followed by a sharp moan as another smack was firmly planted onto your ass by thinner fingers, of which belonged to George, made evident by his resounding, satisfied groan. Repeating the action, your entire body writhed under the pain, only made more pleasurable but prominent due to Sapnap's hold on your neck and George's groaned out words as he grunted out quips of his own,
"Look at you- dripping wet and moaning and we've barely even touched you. Such a naughty slut."
Sure enough, within a few more torturously harsh spanks, your ass was sore and red and your slick was dripping down your thighs in an embarrassing flood of arousal and fluid, George and Dream's hands imprinted onto you whilst Sapnap's harsh grip at your neck was sure to bruise the tender skin there, all of which caused your body to respond in jolts of shock followed by muffled pleas and whines. However, soon you felt all touch retreat, your neck now free to inhale fully, lungs and heartbeat working overtime from your adrenaline, body twitching at the loss of contact and caresses. Nevertheless, touch soon returned as quickly as it had retreated as both George and Sapnap shuffled closer towards you and Dream instead knelt one knee on the foot of the bed, his head dipping down towards your thighs as he licked a large, flattened-out tongue along your thighs where your juices has slipped down. A long stripe across your entire pussy had you jerking your head up from its place on the pillow in shock and pleasure as Dream mumbled something about how good you tasted, irrespective of your status as an impatient whore. The whole ordeal made your head spin and heart soar with desire and anticipation.
Nonetheless, once again, all touch to your body changed completely as Dream's head retreated from in between your legs, a slight yet desperate whine falling from your lips at the loss of attention as your eyes rise from the bed to shoot pleading looks towards both Sapnap and Goerge, of whom were on either side of you, stroking their cocks and groaning. From your lower positioning, the two males almost appeared as god-like, towering figures with red-faced expressions, face contorted in pleasure and cocks flushed and and the tips an angry red, seemingly desperate for your touch. However, as you contemplated reaching up to grab both in your hands, your body was soon tugged harshly backwards towards Dream somewhat, his strong hands gripping at your waist, seemingly trying to steady you as a blunt pressure pushed at your pussy. The, suddenly, a wide and unfamiliar shape pushed straight inside your pussy, its form distinctly wide and material slightly cold. Instantaneously, your mind could recognise what was happening- and the whole scenario made you not only moan out in intense and unexpected pleasure but also whine in pathetic frustration and pure desperation.
Dream was going to fuck you with a fleshlight.
With a hoarse and strained voice, pleasure evidently overwhelming and thus overriding the capacity to speak clearly, Dream hissed and grunted out at your whimpering and frustrated form as he bottomed out into the toy,
"F-fuck, this thing feels great. It could've- fuck- been you, but you were t-too impatient. Don't deserve our cocks- n-not even to touch them."
Immediately, the green-eyed male set a fast pace, his hips ramming into the toy inside your pussy, every thrust inadvertently fucking you with the fleshlight itself whilst Dream simply used you as a vessel of warmth and stability, the fleshlight the main generation of his pleasure as he simply gripped onto your hips with such unadulterated force, your body a mere anchor to drive his cock further into the toy with. Yet, between the fast pace of Dream's hungry and selfish thrusting, combined with the sheer girth and length of the toy inside your wet insides, pleasure quickly began to brew in you, your back arching and mouth hanging open in an 'o' shape as moans flew from your voice, airy and desperate. Just as your arms prepared to give in and allow your body to be fully used, the need to slump into the mattress fully once more overwhelmingly strong, you suddenly felt a strong hand grip your jaw, lithe fingers squashing your face in such a way it was so obviously objectifying and borderline disrespectful whilst equally making you tighten around the toy lodged inside your pussy. You felt like a toy, made to be used. And you loved it.
"C'mon, d-don't forget about us, dumb whore,"
George groaned out, words bold and harsh and tone darker than usual, ultimately causing you to tremble beneath the three men.
Looking up towards George to your left and Sapnap to your right, your half-lidded and teary eyes witnessed a delicious sight; from your position, head held up by George’s fingers as he lightly gripped your jaw, you could see both George and Sapnap fucking into their own fleshlights, Sapnap's head thrown back slightly and jaw clenched in what could only be assumed to be restraint whilst George gazed down at you with stern eyes. Despite such a wonderfully sinful show, George slowed his pace on his cock, signalling for your weak arms to reach up and pleasure both him and Sapnap. Meekly, you reach up both of your arms towards the fleshlights of the two males in front of you, supported by Dream behind you who, in order to ensure you stay upright and therefore ensuring he can still fuck into the toy inside you, now gripped at your hair, stabilising you to his chest as he fucked the toy deeper into you. Your entire body shook weakly, the pressure and tight pull of your hair from your skull creating such a wonderful pain, of which heightened the waves of euphoria rippling through you with each of Dream's thrusts and groans behind you, his hot breath now by your ear as he watched you move to touch George and Sapnap. Your hands gripped onto both fleshlights either side of you, the rocking of your hips already aiding movement on the two males' dicks and thus causing both Sapnap and George to groan out your name in pleasure. However, as much as you desired to please both of them with the toys, you equally wanted to simply touch their dicks more than anything in the universe- you merely wanted to touch them.
Tugging both your arms towards yourself with delierately harsh movement, you attempted to pull the fleshlights off the two dicks in front of you, mind and body ultimately desperate to finally get an oppurtunity to please both George and Sapnap directly. However, immediately your desperate plans were dashed as Dream witnessed your movements in spite of the thrown back heads and averted gazes of the other two men, thrusting into the toy inside you with a particularly pronounced and forceful movement of his hips, of which thrust your whole body forwards more so than before and thus hindering your retraction of the fleshlights around the two cocks in front of you, all in spite of Dream's firm hold on your hair and hips.
"D-don't you even dare- fuck- to try a-and touch th-them. You're just- shit- a naughty slut, d-don't deserve to touch u-us," Dream hissed into your ear, hand pulling harshly onto your hair in a makeshift ponytail, a clear warning that if you disobeyed once more there would be far more severe consequences.
In an effort to continually, from this point, curb your disobedience and pathetic desperation for touch, Dream mercilessly pounded into the toy still lodged inside your tight, wet hole, each thrust so forceful, carnal and mind-blurringly euphoric your body was forced to simply jerk both Sapnap and George off with the fleshlight toys, your thighs shaking and body rocking forwards with such movements. The green-eyed male's thrusts were so forceful and deep not only could you feel the toy pushing against your cervix in such a delicious chase of pleasure, but you were also repeatedly thrust further forwards towards Sapnap and George, of whom were now rocking their hips forward into your hands and fleshlights you held in an equally animalistic rhythm as that of Dream's. In such a moment, you felt so helpless, as though you were merely a toy to be used; a vessel for others' pleasure. The thought had your mind whirring, eyes rolling back and pussy tightening. The thought had you rapidly approaching your pleasure's climax. Equally, as the pace of all three men seemed to grow increasingly untamed and uneven and their voices rose in volume, it became evident they were nearing their end too. George's face glowed with a slight sheen of sweat, of which made his hair stick to his forehead as his eyes hung low, drawn to the way in which his cock slid so smoothly into and out of the toy you pleasured him with. Similarly, Sapnap's lips hung open as a stream of curses fell from his lips, face red and sweaty and head flung back towards the ceiling, his imminent peak almost too much for him. The pace of Dream's heavy breathing by your neck, coupled with the ever-uneven pace of his hips and the loud grunting of pleasure that resounded by your ear every time you whimpered as a result of him pulling your hair or thrusting into you were all telltale signs of his oncoming orgasm. All four of you felt so close to the precipice of release.
"I- aghn- can't hold back- g-gonna-!" George suddenly groaned out, voice hoarse and higher in pitch as his orgasm crashed over him, appearing to almost catch him off guard.
His hips stuttered into the toy in your hand, head thrown back and adam's apple bobbing in his throat as he moaned. The sight alone had your thighs trembling and pussy clenching around the metallic toy's surface inside you. You were so close. You wanted to cum. Then, suddenly Sapnap's voice whimpered, causing your mind and eyesight to glance over to his direction, watching as he bit his lip, hips bucking wildly and jaw clearly clenching as he spilled into the toy in your other hand, groaning out your name in a low growl, the lick of a texan accent dancing around the word in such a sinfully delicious tone. Your release was growing so close now you could almost taste it, such scenes only serving to aid this as your arms' power gave out, now hanging by your side as Dream appeared to pound into you even harder. As much as the deep crevices of your mind wished to view the panting forms of George and Sapnap in their post-orgasmic haze, the further and faster the toy inside of you shifted, the less your mind could fully focus, a white-hot heat taking hold of your thoughts as the coil inside of you neared snapping, whines emerging from your throat freely. Just a bit more, your conscience begged. Just a bit harder. A bit longer. A bit further.
"Argh, fuck! Y/N- I- fuck!" Dream grunted out loudly in your ear, a particularly harsh pull on your hair causing you to whimper airily and close your eyes tight shut as Dream released into the synthetic toy inside your pussy's fluttering walls, hips stuttering to an unsteady halt as his breath panted out by your ear. Then his hips fully halted.
You had been so close.
As your body gradually fell from Dream's grasp, body hastily landing on your forearms and knees as he dropped you to the bed and removed himself and the toy from your desperately sensitive hole, your body begged silently for more, trembling and twitching from a inadvertent orgasm denial. Despite the pleasure of witnessing and feeling all three men cum, your body had been completely ignored.
And you just couldn't take it.
"Please, please just touch me- I'll do anything Sapnap, please- Dream- George- I was so close!" your voice brokenly chokes out in a series of desperate moans and pleadings, thighs trembling and eyes tearing up moreso than during that entire ordeal, merely due to frustration.
However, when all you were met with was smug chuckling and deafening silence, your mind started to ponder if it had really been worth it to break a rule all those minutes ago.

s2 prompt: sometimes mulder goes to scully's in the middle of the night just to check that she's there/safe bc he fears she might've been abducted again
shaking sobbing throwing up he WOULD. my thought process for this literally went Prompt -> a conversation with @fortes-fortuna-iogurtum -> listening to Lucy Dacus Fool's Gold on loop for like three and a half hours btw, in case you wanted to know adjskandksnsj. you probably won't get the full experience unless you listen to that song tbh
all glittering fool's gold
s2 post-One Breath | 2.7k words | rated G | canon compliant-ish? | tagging @today-in-fic | AO3
It's New Year's Eve and Scully is at home, alone. She'd wanted to be, because after a week tired and trapped in a hospital and another three with her mother and Melissa trying very hard and failing even harder not to baby her, she opted out of going to watch fireworks tonight. Anyway, she keeps flinching at the sounds of bottle rockets being shot off that leak in through her windows, keeps flinching every time she looks through the front window, doesn't want to sit there like she used to, because that — that, she can remember.
There's little sparks of color above the skyline, little showers of light that will burn out before they hit the ground. Scully watches the glimmers that she can see with a soft, too-long robe — one of Missy's, maybe — wrapped around her and one hand wrapped around a half-full glass of wine. Usually, she wouldn't stay up until midnight unless she was out with friends or with family; those aren't the kind of traditions she places much stock in. But it's fifteen minutes until the new year, and she is feeling the loss of three months.
Lights, brighter than fireworks and far, far closer, flash through the front window she's been trying to avoid and Scully's entire body tenses up. It's so bright. It only takes her a few seconds to recognize the brightness as a car's headlights, though, and just a few more to recognize whose car it is. She forces her muscles to relax, manages a deep breath and ignores the fluttering of her heart. She's tired but doesn't want to sleep, she's brought this on herself by staying up and by drinking, even if it was only one glass; she can and will rationalize her way out of her own panic.
She tips her head in wonder with no one to see and leaves the rest of her glass of wine in the sink. She double-checks through the peephole, double-checks that her robe is wrapped securely around her, and swings the door open before Mulder can even lift his hand to knock. His eyes go wide, flickering hazel and he stares at her for a long second. This is the first time they've seen each other since she convinced her mom to let her go back to her own apartment.
"Hi," he says quietly, at thirteen minutes until the new year, and she silently lets him in.
"Hi," she says back, watching him sidestep around her while hiding something behind his back. She shuts the door, leans back against it. "What are you doing here?"
Mulder shrugs. "I thought I'd come wish you a happy New Year." He toes off his shoes and she finally notices that he, too, is in much more casual clothing than usual.
The familiar denim shirt he'd let her borrow once when she spilled coffee on her blouse in the car is partially hidden by a leather jacket she doesn't recognize, that he must have gotten while she was gone. Scully blinks at the thought, tips her head again and wants to ask what he's hiding from her, whether by his presence or what he's holding behind him.
"I didn't expect you to still be up, honestly," he admits. "But, on the off chance," he sees her look and shoots her a fireworks-bright smile before holding out a bottle. It's champagne, and not the cheap kind, either. "Happy New Year!"
Scully laughs in surprise that she didn't expect to light her up so much. "I didn't think you'd stay up, either," she says, taking the proffered bottle and pointedly not looking at the price label on the bottom. She doesn't want to know. "Thank you," she adds, a little softer, leads the way to the kitchen and casts a look to make sure he follows.
"Ah, what's the point of an extra holiday if not to stay up late?" He jokes. "Hey, Scully?"
She looks over her shoulder, reaching blindly and familiar to grab two glasses. Everything in her home is exactly as she kept it; she doesn't need to look. She doesn't have champagne flutes, so she pulls down another long-stemmed wine glass and quickly pours out what was left in hers and rinses it. "Yes?"
Mulder watches her with searching eyes, a way she would be annoyed by from anyone else, but she knows it's more out of care than anything else. "How are you doing?" He asks, a little hesitantly, like he knows that she'd yelled at Melissa last week for asking too much. She wonders if they talk about her and hopes they don't. They are the two people in the world who can get to the bottom of her best.
She shrugs, holds the bottle out to him and he takes the hint, pops the cork. "I'm fine," she says, something she's getting very used to repeating. It's true, aside from the way she froze when she saw his headlights through the window and except for how she's trying not to pay too much attention to the gunshot-like sounds of fireworks.
It's nine minutes to the New Year, and Scully hands Mulder a glass and takes her own and doesn't even tense up when she sits near the front window. The pop-pop-pop of pyrotechnics isn't like thunder and lightning, she can't calculate how close it is by time passed. She curls her feet underneath her, tries not to sit closer to Mulder than she has, no matter how glad she is he's here. Maybe she was wrong about being alone on the way into a new year that feels like it's coming too suddenly. Nine minutes, three months; it's more time than it seems like.
She takes a sip of overpriced, gesture-of-affection champagne, and it's warm and fizzly down her throat. Like fireworks, she thinks. "I'm glad you're here," she blurts suddenly, lifting her eyes to his. He'd spent good money on her for no reason and come to check on her on New Year's Eve, when she hadn't even known she needed it.
Mulder barks out a raw little laugh, equal parts joy and desperation. "I'm glad you're here, Scully," he says, grinning at her with circles under his eyes that she didn't notice at first.
He looks worn down, she feels uncertain. There's a little bit of light in both of them, though, and a part of her wants to blame the alcohol. Champagne can intoxicate you faster than beer; she thinks of the fireworks outside, their light illuminating the sky and then flickering out on the way down. She wonders if Mulder understands what she's saying; she is better now that he's here, and that much is not bubbly alcohol.
He looks away after a moment, busies himself with his own glass. Scully studies him for a moment, the sadness and hope in his eyes that's always been there but that's more obvious now, the way his hair sticks up in front — he's clearly gotten a haircut recently, and she wants for just a moment to run a hand through it — how he sits, relaxed but somehow still tightly coiled much the same as she is. The shadows under his eyes, like they've escaped from inside him; she wonders how much she seems the same if he were to look at her this way.
Another sip, like a bubbly sweet swallow of courage, and she puts her hand on his arm. Mulder looks up at her, a little more surprised than he really should be, because they've touched each other so easily and so much until recently. "You look tired," Scully notes, with a hint of a question.
Mulder chuckles, looks at her hand on his wrist like he wants to slide his own hand back and hold it, and maybe she wishes he would. "Insomnia will do that to a person, I hear." He couches it in a joke, but she hears more than that.
When they travel, he's usually asleep before she is, unless it's a particularly compelling case. She can fall asleep practically anywhere, be it a plane or an airport or a rental car, but she's seen him practically melt into hotel beds before. If she were to knock on his door in the night — which she's only done once, when he got a concussion and she needed to check on him — she's more likely to be greeted by a soft snore than anything else. She isn't an insomniac herself, or at least she doesn't think she is, but she's found that he usually rests easily. It was something she noted on their first case, even, when the plane was half full and he stretched out across an entire row of seats and slept for most of the flight.
She frowns, searches over his face for an answer that doesn't require a question and finds none, except for the way he's looking at her. "Mulder, since when do you have trouble sleeping? You've never been an insomniac."
He shakes his head, smiles in a way that she doesn't like because she can tell, deep down, that he's forcing it. He swirls his glass, takes another drink, tops off both of their glasses from the bottle. "Since uh," he mumbles, "Since you were taken." It comes out fast, tumbling past his lips like a confession, and he won't look at her. "I still can't really-" he breaks off, shrugs. When he finally looks at her, it's with sad eyes and a soft smile. "It doesn't matter."
Scully bites back the urge to snap that it does, it does matter, and finds that she's suddenly reeling just a little bit. She knows he'd kept her cross, her mother had said that he'd worn it, and that rocked her hard enough as it is. Mulder, who's never had faith in the things she does and vice versa, wearing the symbol of her faith. Mulder, not sleeping because of what happened to her. It hits her then how much her abduction has affected him, how much he hasn't shown for the sake of putting her first. Maybe the alcohol is making her emotional, maybe it's the ball dropping in her heart at the same time it drops in Times Square, but she wants just a little bit to cry.
"Happy New Year," Mulder whispers, and she glances at the clock and watches the two hands come aligned. The new year has come, far too fast, and she'd nearly missed it. She doesn't feel any different.
Beside her, Mulder downs the last of his champagne. On the other side of her, outside the window, a resounding, crackling rocket goes off, light and sound at the same moment, and she jumps, squeezing her eyes shut against the flash of fear and squeezing the stem of her glass in one hand. Mulder's hand finally meets hers, and she flicks her eyes open, too wide, too irrationally afraid — she doesn't know why the fireworks are setting her off — and he's staring at her with more concern, more gentleness than she knows what to do with.
"I'm okay," she says, carefully so her voice won't shake. "Just startled me. They're not supposed to set those off in residential areas," she adds with a lightness she doesn't feel. Reluctantly, she pulls her hand from his, stands to take both their glasses and finish the rest of hers on the way to the kitchen. She has to turn her back, has to compose herself.
"Since when do people follow those kinds of rules?"
He follows her, of course, into the kitchen while she stands over the sink and drinks the last of her glass of champagne. She's saving the rest of it for the next time she wants that brightness. She wants to laugh, maybe, at the fact that Mulder bought her something so expensive. She wants to cry, maybe, because she doesn't understand why he would do that. She doesn't understand why he's here, even if she is glad of it.
She turns around, faces him once she thinks she can. "Mulder, why... why are you here?" She asks, not sharply, but maybe a little rougher than she means to. She just wants to understand.
His eyes go big again, the way they had when she first let him in, and the expression is endearing. "To... to celebrate," he shrugs. "New Year's, fireworks." He pauses, looks at his feet, looks back at her, eyes tracing over her face and her stature and then back to meet her gaze again. "You're here," he says. "I wanted to check that you're- here, and alright. To... remind myself," he admits.
"To remind both of us," she murmurs under her breath, and she doesn't know if he hears it because he doesn't respond. "Mulder, do you think-" she stops herself, rubs the tip of her nose.
He's watching her, waiting for her to finish her sentence, and she's not sure if it's a good idea, but she doesn't think she's going to sleep well tonight — she's lived here long enough to know the fireworks won't stop until the sun comes up, or maybe longer — and he won't either, he'd just admitted it himself. He doesn't sleep well, anymore, which probably means he doesn't sleep.
She wraps her arms around herself, feeling empty-handed and wanting, more than anything, for the warmth she'd felt with that first sip of champagne again. "Do you think you would sleep better with me?" She finally manages, her voice quiet and questioning.
Mulder visibly stops short, stops breathing, stares at her like she's speaking another language. "What?" He breathes, like he's panicking, like she had a moment ago.
Scully shrugs, leans her head to the side. "I'm going to have trouble sleeping, too," she admits, hiding another flinch and instead glancing toward the glitter falling down in the corner of the window that she can see from here. "You could stay here tonight," she offers, as more aggravatingly, terrifying bottle rockets go off and make her think it's doomsday instead of the dawn of a new year. "That way we... you can know that I'm here."
Mulder stares at her, mouth hanging half open. "Scully, you... really?"
She nods, because it's all she can do and if she tries to talk again, she's either going to start giggling or start crying. There's something borderline ridiculous about all of this, something that would be comedic, would be unimaginable with anyone but the two of them. She doesn't want to ask, doesn't want to make it for her sake even though it already is, but she hopes he understands. Barely over a month ago she was presumed dead, then almost dead. Fireworks are newly terrifying and bubbly white wine is possibly the best thing she's felt since waking up.
"Okay," he says, eyes full of something that might be exhaustion, might be longing, might be hope.
She checks the lock on the door again, glances at the lock on the front window — but then, what did that ever matter anyway? — and feels as if she's letting go of something she's had in a chokehold, or maybe it's letting go of her. She looks at Mulder, studying her like she'd been studying him, like she's a mystery he can't unravel; like she's one of his x-files, and she is now, isn't she?
The couch is soft when she sinks into it, in a way she hasn't noticed until now, and Mulder's eyes are even softer. There's a fleeting moment when a small, quiet part of her wants to kiss him, but mostly, she just wants to be near him. Another burst of fireworks resounds outside and she flinches again, feels her pulse pick up for a few beats, and she glimpses just for a second the look in Mulder's eyes as he watches her. She doesn't like seeing the pain in him any more than he likes seeing it in her.
In the morning, she'll blame the alcohol, or the fireworks or full moon. She'll blame her own human need, or the forces that did this to her, or the fall of man, but right now she is coming up empty-handed, and there's something warm fizzing in her chest when she closes her eyes and tucks herself against Mulder and he puts his arms around her.
"I've got you," he whispers against the top of her head, and she huffs a warm, sleepy chuckle.
"Yeah," she replies, feeling the knot in her gut start to unclench. "Mulder."
"Scully?"
"I'm here."
Outside, fireworks light up the skyline, a fizzy kind of fool's gold.
#champagne as a metaphor for love? fireworks as a metaphor for hope/fear's juxtaposition?#something like that???#idk just. the vibes of fool's gold is so much and so them somehow???#i simply like Soft and Cuddles that is all#Lu writes#txf#the x files#dana scully#fox mulder#txf s2#mulder and scully#msr#txf fanfic#msr fanfic#userscully#i feel like I'm the only person who tags you in fic? if anyone else wants to be tagged when i write stuff just lmk#anyways :)

Can you write a moon knight tickle fic where at the start of Layla’s and Marc’s relationship they find out their ticklish? Also, Layla tickling Marc and Steven to find their different tickle spots.
MoonKnight MovieNight
Words: 1996
Fandom: Moonknight (Marvel)
Ship: Marc x Layla
Summary: Marc and Layla are 6 months into their relationship and find out something rather interesting about each other on a movie night...
A/N: lmao hey- uh. So, I wrote this. Tbh I actually like how it turned out. I won't say much but for having no clue wtf I was doing, I like it. I dunno, I like it though. Also the second half I do actually want to do a fic on so send a separate ask if you wanna be tagged <3
It was a normal day for Marc, he was getting dressed in some decent clothes as his girlfriend would be coming round for dinner that afternoon.
He looked in his closet and put on a dark blue shirt and some jeans, just casual wear, but not too casual. Marc was never one to care too much for appearances, but he still wanted to be a decent partner and look nice.
He'd met layla a couple months ago, they'd been dating for half a year and she would be coming round for a movie that night as she had been too busy recently. Not that Marc hadn't been busy either, but it was the first time they would be seeing each other in about a week so they wanted to look nice while being relaxed with one another.
He made sure to tidy up his house and even change the sheets as she would be staying the night. Soon enough it was time and while setting up the couch with blankets and pillows, his doorbell rang.
Quickly he tried to run over to the door, but then tripped on one of the blankets and face planted into the ground- a loud thump was heard and Lalya knocked again, shouting to ask if he was alright.
Marc grunted and swore a little under his breath but called back saying that he was okay, picking himself up while rubbing his head as he opened up the door.
"Hey"
"Hey" Layla laughed a little at her boyfriend who had a hand to his head and a smile on his face. She put her hand to his cheek and brought his head down, just enough for her to kiss the bump on his head.
"Already falling for me" she teased as she welcomed herself in with a smirk. Marc rolled his eyes, closing the door behind her.
"Have you picked a movie for us to watch?" She asked, putting her things down while smiling at him as he walked into the living room.
"Not yet, but I put Netflix on so we can pick together" He replied, sticking his hands in his pockets and leaning against the door frame, watching her.
"Oh nice, okay, im going to go get changed so you can get ready" Layla smiled, waking into the other room before giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Marc chuckled but still did as she said, though he did change into some comfortable trousers seeing as everything seemed to be normal, like they'd spoken yesterday even.
"Hey Layla? Do you want to order something?" Marc yelled after getting all snuggly under the blankets and between the pillows, looking at his phone at different places to get delivered.
"Yeah sure! Anythings fine!"
"Is domino's okay?"
"Yeah! That's fine!"
The two went back back forth for a moment, yelling between two rooms as Marc ordered. Once he had he shouted that it would be there in about 40 minutes,but as he did so he looked up from his phone to see Layla stood in front of him wearing one of his hoodies, looking rather oversized on her.
Marc couldn't help but smirk up at her. "I found this and it looked cozy so-" she shrugged, smirking back at him and snuggling in close as she sat down under the covers and pillows, leaning up against him.
"Oh so you decided to just take it?" He smirked down at her, nudging her a bit so that she'd look up at him rather than snuggle further into his chest.
"Yeah, I mean you did leave it out" she smirked, Marc looking back with a smug face.
"Maybe you should tidy up more" she shook her head, holding back a laugh. Marc raised an eye brow and pushed himself upwards.
"Ohhh really? Is that it? I tidied this whole place up before you came!" He protested.
"Well you did fall and hit your head tripping on something-"
"OH that does it come here" the two were suddenly wrestling one another, trying to escape or capture the other in their hold. It didn't take long though before Marc and wrapped up Layla in a bear hug with his hands at her sides, arms crossing as an X sound her to keep her still.
Suddenly he began to get very playful, not really realising it and began to tickle her sides through the hoodie. The woman burst out into adorable worried giggles and began to wiggling around, trying to fight and stop the tickling fingers on her sides.
"Can't fight this!" Marc teased from behind, beginning to squeeze her sides making her explode into laughter. Layla began to shake her head in protest, laughing hysterically as she kicked the other end of the sofa gently.
"MaArHArArc! StoHoHop ihiT- AH WAHAHAIT WAIHIT" Suddenly Marc's hands had moved to her stomach, vibrating in claws torturing her. Layla suddenly curled up and wiggled around more trying to stop her boyfriend from killing her.
"Apologise to me and I'll think about it"
"MArArC!" The girl let out a squeal when he tweaked her hips so she did as she was told, apologizing perfusly while giggling and squealing with laughter.
"Hm... I never knew you were ticklish Layla. I think I might need another few minutes to get over this hidden truth" Marc made a face of thought, looking down and moving his hands from one spot to another, messing with her.
"MArAhArC lEt gOhO- AH" He continued to squeeze and poke everywhere he could, inspecting where he could get a reaction. With each poke and prode she would give a new reaction, a screech, a giggle, a belly laugh, and Marc adored all of it.
After another few minutes thiugh Layla was exhausted and struggling to get out of his hold, just deciding to lay back and let the giggles give in. That's when Marc decided to take mercy on the poor woman. He couldn't help but laugh even she slumped backwards, giggling up at him with her head on his lap.
"Dihihick" Marc winked and began stroking her hair, he asked about what movie she wanted to put on but she seemed to fall asleep midway through his sentence. He laughed at her gently, still stroking her hair but deciding to put on a movie anyway.
-
It was about 30 minutes later that she woke up, there was a fight in the movie and she seemed to moan a little while waking up. Marc was watching the screen while she lay in his lap, his hand still on her head.
Layla smiled up at her partner, happy to be cared for. She turned her head gently so she could see the screen, getting lost into the movie a little bit as she tried to remember what happened before she fell asleep.
Thats when she remembered how kind he'd been in tickling her to pieces. She almost shivered, somehow feeling the tickles on her side again and giggles bubbling in her throat. She looked up to Marc who seemed happily distracted by his movie and decided to formulate a plan.
Time for revenge.
She decided to play the sleepy girlfriend card. Now this was pretty easy in her case, it seemed he hasn't actually noticed her being awake yet, but at this point she was wide awake and ready to strike.
She gave out a little wine and stretch, moving around a little.
"Aw baby, sorry, are you okay?"
Boom. Step 1, complete.
"Mhm.. yeah, you?" Layla then sat up, stretching a little before snuggling between Marc's arm and side.
Step 2 sucsessful.
Marc smiled down at her, believing she was half asleep and cuddling her before getting distracted by the TV again.
Now was step three, Layla then pretended to "accidently" poke him in the side. Nothing much happened at first. She tried again, looking up to him to see a wobbly smile on his face.
She decided to try one more time while watching his face, this time thiugh giving one poke after another. The man's fave broke and he gave our a little chuckle, looking down at Layla who was looking up at him with revenge in her eyes.
Step 3, complete.
And the last, most important step. Tickle Marc.
She gave him a smirk when he asked what she was doing. Marc tried to protect himself but due to the positions he couldn't do much other than try to swat her hands away or grab them as she repeatedly poked and prodded at his side and ribs, making him burst into laughter.
"Hehehey- whaiait Lahayla"
"Yeah Marc?"
"Stohohop- StOhOp!" She then decided to start squeezing and using all her fingers to dance up his ribs, suddenly going weak Marc laughed, swatting her away but hand still trapped behind her. He couldn't help but laugh even harder when she was suddenly full of energy and jumped on his lap, attacking his sides with a million tickles.
"LahahaAHAYLA LAYLA!-" His laughter was much louder when his sides were squeezed, then trying to fight Layla off and grab her wrists but failing miserably as another part of him tried to hide all his ticklish spots.
"This is revenge! You know Marc, you never told me you were tickling either-"
"ThAhaHatS bEhEhEcAusE iM nOhoHot! STOHOHOP!" the wide smile on the man's face seemed the complete opposite to what he was claiming. Layla's hands sneaked up his ribs and into his armpit, making him try to hug himself and stuck in a very strange, unhelpful position.
"You're not ticklish? Really? I know you're stubborn Marc but not ticklish?"
"STOHOHPPP! I CAHAHANT!" Marc was loosing it as she continued to relentlessly tickle and tease him, catching him in his lies.
"I don't know, of you're not ticklish then this shouldn't be bothering you" she then leant forward and gave his nose a kiss, making him scrunch a little. She'd never noticed before, so she did it again, and again until his laughter was a mix of loud laughter and tickly giggles on his nose which he continued to try and hide.
"STOhOp!" Marc really couldn't take much more, and it seemed that whatever it was was on his side. Saved by the bell, his doorbell went off which distracted Layla, giving Marc enough time to swap the positions and grab her wrists above her head, flipping their positions as he laughed, grasping breath above them.
It took a moment to catch his breath but he glared at Layla, unable to hide the smile and blush on his face from all the laughter.
"Yohou wait here."
"Sure thing" Layla couldn't hide her smirk when Marc cautiously let her go,watching her as he grabbed his wallet and even until he got to the door.
He openedit and there was the pizza man, finally. Marc still had a bit of a laugh to his voice, and a slightly pink face so it was a little awkward but even so he came back holding the pizza, throwing it onto the table before grabbing his girlfriend and throwing her over his shoulder.
Layla squealed and jumped but Marc layed her back down across the couch. He then looked her in the eyes giving her a smirk while lifting the hoodie.
"This, is revenge" he smirked, kissing down on her belly before she squealed and burst out laughing as he blew down.
"GEHEHET OFF! GEHEHET OFF MAHAHARC!" Layla pounced on his back as he planted yet another rasberry on her stomach making her yell again.
By the end the two had burst out laughing, just laughing at how silly it was.
Marc grabbed the pizza and some sauces, sitting back down next to her as they snuggled up together again. It didnttake long for the two to get back in grossed into the movie, but as soon as it was over... Well there was a lot of laughter that night after finding out this little secret.

TCL 2x10 recap
Hi I loooooooved this episodeeeeeeeeee
Many thoughts below lol
Okay first things first, I already love this song (Velvet Ring by Big Thief) and it has had many plays on my TCL playlist lol. But ugh Thony alone in the house with her critically ill son, her whole life revolving around administering those meds every 6 hours? This show loves causing me pain haha speaking of which, her IV line has not been correctly primed (to remove air bubbles) and I’m being so brave about it lol But anyway ngl it makes me giggle a bit that this cake has apparently taken like 12 hours to make lol. Ah, stress baking. We’ve all been there. But omg wait IT’S HIS BIRTHDAY???? Aaaaaaahh I know in 2x05 he said he was ‘almost six’ but I didn’t realise he meant he was only like 2 weeks away from it!! Omg which makes me even more emotional about Thony looking back at him before she left to take the jet to Manila, knowing she might not ever be able to come back ughhh. And then they have their little birthday party, just the two of them– just like it used to be, them against the world while Marco was off doing who knows what– and ugh how hard it must be to go back to that after months of having a loving family surrounding them with Fi and the kids and even Arman? And then ugh the way she smiles at him and blows out the candles for him, even though you can see how much it’s breaking her heart to see him like this? Someone save meee
Okay holy hell I don’t know what inspired this Nadia look but I am INTO IT. We stan a stunning and badass queen. But omg the fact RK keeps all his meds in his office drawer? Seems unlikely for a guy who likes to appear invulnerable. This moment is hilarious though bc she takes a pic of the meds, but most of them are turned so you can’t even read the label? Very helpful lolllll. Of the six pull bottles in the drawer, I can only make out one name clearly, which is Ibuprofen, aka literally an over-the-counter mild painkiller, which he also appears to have been given then incorrect dose of. He appears to be on a blood thinner which I am extremely curious about, plus something for blood pressure, which is unsurprising tbh lol, given the way he works himself up haha– and speaking of which, he’s taking something for anxiety/agitation lol (definitely unsurprising). It entertains me so much that the pill bottle appears to list the medication as ‘benzodiazepines’ which is actually the drug class, not a specific drug itself lol. Seriously, TCL writers, any chance you want to hire me as your medical advisor?? I'll do it for free!! Hell, I’ll pay you to let me do it lol. Bc as much as I loved this ep, the medical stuff was painful haha. But anyway when Robert comes in, Nadia seems to grab the pill bottle from the far end, which is literally the Ibuprofen– and he tells her they’re too strong for her. Help this is too funny. Also I’ve tried that pressure point before (did it actually help? No idea lol) but it definitely won't help rn bc he’s literally not even putting pressure on the spot? Lol. Honestly I thought he was doing this as an excuse to check her pulse and see if she was hiding something, but his fingers aren’t in the right spot for that either. Bro’s literally just sitting there tenderly holding her hand lol (not that I can blame him lol, I’d do the same). But uh oh the way he reacts to her mention of Arman running the club with her, and his “in my business we eliminate liabilities” line… yeah things definitely ain't looking great for Arman rn. Also sidenote but seriously Robert what is up with that silver clasp on your jacket you look ridiculous. Ask your bae for some style tips please lol
Ugghhhh Fi desperately trying to clean for JD, trying to feel like she’s contributing something and not just being a burden, and also trying to show her appreciation and gratitude in one of the few ways she can. ‘Acts of service’ is definitely one of her love languages ugh. Also omgggg Laura the gf is gooooone (sorry, faceless name-buddy, but I’m on Fi’s side here lol) and aaaaaaaaahhh J-Fi are being all cute and flirty and kissing and omg my ship is sailing???? Honestly this is happening waaay too quick and easy and I’m a little terrified about that, but I’m just going to ignore that dread and enjoy it while I can lol. Also poor man is going to get a crick in his neck having to bend down that far to kiss her lol. He doesn't seem to mind though, and i certainly don't either haha. But sigh Thony couldn’t you have waited another minute on the cockblocking?? Let your girl get some, bc god knows she deserves it haha. (Ngl Thony deserves it too; hurry up and get your act together, Armony! Take some lessons from J-Fi lol). But ugh JD is just so sweet and understanding and I love him???? I love how happy he makes her. And ‘we’re not done with this’ YEAH GIRL GET IT. (Not exactly sure how you’ll go about that when you’ve got a house full of kids, but I believe in you lol)
(*Casually pretends like I didn’t just spend over an hour photo-editing a screenshot I took of the ‘The Cleaning Ladies’ banner hanging on the wall of their office so I could have a good clear copy of their logo lol*)
Aaaanyways, speaking of the office, the decor is so funny to me, with all the colourful cleaning products perfectly spaced along the walls. Like it looks cute and all but I feel that it just has to be a really inconvenient way for them to be stored when they actually need to be used?? Ngl I also have some things to say about how the meds are arranged/displayed in the clinic part as well but I’m just going to let that slide lol. But oooooh what a beautiful serendipitous occurrence that she and Arman just happen to be there ~alone~ at the same time… like hey you two, I hear there’s a free bed at the back of the clinic??? Just saying lol. But ugh I love that Arman goes from ‘oh shit better deflect quick and hope she doesn’t question why I’m here’, right to ‘wait my Thony-is-upset senses are tingling, must give ALL THE COMFORT’ in like 2 seconds flat lol. Tbh I’ll never be over the incredibly gentle way he looks at her here, or that tiny “Hey, Thony?” that escapes him when he sees her struggling to get the words out. Our boy just hates seeing her hurting ughhh. And then finally he reaches for her just like in 1x06– hands not quite touching her, letting her decide whether to accept his embrace or not– and ugh she steps straight into him, her head pressing against his chest as she cries. And honestly I am obsessed with the fact that she only breaks down like this in front of him?? Even with Fi, she works hard to keep herself fairly together– her voice shakes and her eyes get shiny, but she doesn’t cry, and she’s often the one reassuring Fi that it will all be okay. But with Arman she doesn’t have to hold back, doesn’t have to be the strong one. For those brief few moments, she can just let herself be the one being comforted for once, can let herself simply sink into the comfort of his solid body as he holds her, his cheek resting against her head as he promises her that she’ll get through this. Tbh given that we can’t see her right hand, I’m going to headcanon that it’s in between them, gripping the edge of his jacket and holding on tight because she can’t actually hold him– not when she (mistakenly, obviously) thinks he’s Nadia’s once more. Which is a big part of the reason why she pulls back again before too long, all too aware of all that’s standing between them, forcing her to have to put up her walls again ugh. Ngl I love how carefully he held her though– in 1x06, he couldn’t stop himself from holding her face, from looking at her mouth, making it clear to her how much he wanted her. Now, they’re obviously both already fully aware of that, just as they’re aware of how complicated things are, and so he keeps his hands only on her back, his grip light, letting her pull away when she’s ready. Though lbr after the shit that these two have been through lately, they both need like an hour-long hug lol (damn I should have pitched that to the writers for the finale lol)
Poor foolish Arman was really hoping he was going to get outta there without her asking him again what he was doing lol. Too bad, buddy. But ugh you can see him considering the idea of lying to her and keeping her in the dark about his plans– like he did with Nadia in S1 about the gun deal/Mexico stuff etc– but he can’t. After 1x05, he and Thony don’t lie to each other anymore, and so even though he knows she won’t approve, he still tells her. And okay I know that this scene has caused a lot of contention in the fandom– and a lot of hate for Thony, which I’m sad about– but I’m going to come right out and say it: Thony is right, and Arman is wrong. Now before i go any further, let’s not forget that I have been one of Arman’s most vocal supporters in the fandom all season, especially when he was getting hate in the early/middle eps; these huge recaps are literally evidence of how much I love and support my boy haha. And I am still very much his supporter now, and I completely understand why he is becoming desperate to free them all from RK (see my last recap for more about that, since I feel I've already covered his perspective pretty well there). But I have to say that in this case, I am in complete agreement with Thony. So let’s see if I can explain lol.
Okay so firstly let’s talk about Arman's plan to kill RK. He intends to do it by creating a toxic interaction between RK's regular medications and the Digoxin that he just grabbed at the clinic, thus causing a seemingly-natural heart attack without ever having to touch RK. Sounds like a perfect crime! No one will ever know! It’s brilliant, right? Wrong! It’s a terrible plan literally full of flaws. And okay look, I can say with some amount of authority here that with the exact right combination of circumstances– taking into account the medication and dose used, the specific medications the person is on, their pre-existing level of cardiac function and overall health, and also like a huge amount of sheer luck– there is the chance it would work. A very small chance, but sure, it exists. In this situation, however? No way. And Thony, a fucking cardiac surgeon, knows this. Even if Arman manages to succeed with giving RK the Digoxin undetected (a huge risk in itself), then the chance of it interacting with his meds is incredibly low, and the chance of it causing a fatal heart attack is practically non-existent. Thony knows all this, and maybe if she was well-rested and stress-free (instead of sleep deprived and emotionally distraught from caring for her dying child) then she would have been able to explain it to him calmly and in a way that he'd understand. But she’s got no mental space for that, especially when her mind is immediately equating the loss of RK with the loss of Luca’s meds– aka, her only chance of saving Luca's life. Because, remember, he is DYING. Like actively dying as we speak. If that fluid around the lungs keeps building up, his lungs won’t be able to take in the amount of oxygen needed to supply his body, and he’ll go into multi-organ failure and die. And that’s not to mention that his liver is already failing– if she can’t counteract that soon with the meds, then draining the fluid won’t help. He’ll die from the flood of toxins being released from his diseased liver, much of which will invade his brain, creating irreversible and fatal damage. And okay I’m sorry I know I’m getting grim here, but I have literally watched people die from this multiple times, because once it gets past a certain point, even an entire medical team can’t help. And I don’t doubt that Thony has seen it happen many times too, and so knows exactly the horrible fate that Luca is heading towards– and yet people are really out here judging her for doing whatever it takes to stop it from happening????? Guys. Guys.
Like okay I absolutely do believe that Arman intends to get her the drugs asap (even though he did a terrible job of actually communicating that intention to her), and I'm sure that he’s confident he can definitely make it happen– but honestly it doesn’t matter. The risk is just too goddamn high, because if even just one thing goes wrong– and based on his-less-than-airtight plan, it almost definitely will– then the meds will be lost, and Luca is dead. And possibly Arman is too, if he gets caught by RK. Honestly Arman is too blinded by his need to be free of RK to be able to see how flawed his plan is and how grave the consequences could be. He’s also blinded by the hurt and anger he feels when Thony demands “With what money? What resources?” because it makes him feel like she doesn't trust him, and that his money and connections were all that actually mattered to her– not him– and that now that there’s someone else who has far more of both, he’s been tossed aside. Which is absolutely not true (dude, she loves you, you idiot), but it still hits right on target of one of Arman’s main character flaws: his fear that he is only valued or wanted by others because of what he can give them, and that if he can no longer provide those things, then he will be deemed worthless and abandoned. It’s been fascinating to see that trait become more overt this season, but man does it lead to him making some goddamn questionable decisions lol. Ugh but anyway, I feel like I’ve ranted about this for long enough, so TLDR: Thony is right to try to stop Arman, and it’s not her fault that she didn’t necessarily handle the conversation well, especially considering it was abruptly sprung on her when she’s already practically at her breaking point because her child is dying and she is devoting every ounce of energy she has into trying to keep that from happening. Fight me on it lol
Ok this big bald guy better be careful, Thony is having the week from hell and tbh could snap at any moment haha. I think we can all assume he’s definitely there because RK wants her to know that he’s watching, that he holds the power here and that she can’t escape, but I kinda hope that it also is a little bit because he values her now and wants her (or okay, maybe his investment in her) protected from Sin Cara?
And then oooh Nadia has a guard too (again, for protection, but also because RK is possessive as fuck lol) and I appreciate that he at least didn’t even try to stop Arman going to see her? Tbh I could have believed RK giving the order that Arman is to be kept away from Nadia, but he probably didn’t want to upset her by doing that. But omg okay hold up, Arman is making Nadia dose RK? Holy shit, this is further evidence that Arman really is acting like a cornered animal and not thinking things through, bc he would normally have never put her at risk like that. He would have used her to get the info he needed, like what drugs RK is on, and maybe to create a distraction, but he would do the risky bit himself. “I’m not going to let anything bad happen to you and it’s not going to come down to that” you can’t promise that!!! Your plan is so full of holes you could use it as a fishing net! And omg "just put enough of these in his drink to stop his heart" oh yeah and do you know how many that is, Arman?? Do you??? I can guarantee Nadia doesn’t! Plus there's no certainty that the drug will even have that effect on his heart!! This plan is the worst aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!! But ugh at least he has actually taken clear steps to find Luca’s meds and get access to them– and omg the helpless look on his face when Nadia realises that the meds he's so determined to get are for Thony, and the way he tells her it's not up for debate?? That was hot. But see this is what he needed to make clear to Thony at the clinic, that he was actually actively in process of getting the meds and that he wasn’t going to kill RK until after he had them. Unless maybe it was their argument that made him realise how urgent the situation was and so he stepped up his meds-acquisition plans to show her that he could be relied upon and that he wouldn’t do anything that might endanger Luca. Who knows.
Curious about why Thony did a peritoneal tap (draining the abdomen) rather than a pleural tap (draining the chest), considering Luca's abdomen didn't look at all distended/swollen, but lbr it was probably just easier to film lol. Also the ‘dressing’ she put on would be practically useless in preventing fluid leakage or the infiltration of bacteria, but whatevs lol. It was cool getting to see his Chevron incision from the surgery– ngl I’d wondered which kind of incision she’d used (oh, the things I think about lol).
Honestly I’m surprised Garrett didn’t immediately go track Arman down and bring him in the moment he saw that partial print, but I guess Russo is managing to keep him under control for now. (Since it’s at least the day after they matched the print, I’m curious about what he did when he got home– get drunk and stare at Maya’s photo or something? Or did he stay late at the office trying to find more evidence begot finally going home to crash?). But lol at his theory that Arman killed Maya bc he found out she was an informant, and was worried she would rat him out– for what, lol? Arman and Maya literally never met until the night he shot her, and he had nothing to do with Cortes’ whole cartel thing until the FBI made him get involved. Maya would have known absolutely nothing about Arman or any of his activities. Also slight sidenote but I find it so funny that they never tied Hayak’s death to him– like clearly the autopsy would have found the puncture mark in his neck, and so the next logical step is to check the camera footage for everyone who had been in the infirmary lately and might have gotten access to needles? And if they'd done that, they would have seen who had just been in there earlier for a check of the wounds he received after being attacked by inmates who were clearly hired by someone with lots of money? C'mon detectives. This is not a hard one lol. But sigh anyway, I’ll forgive this show for a plothole or two– especially one like this, because Arman getting pinned for Hayak’s murder and spending his life in jail would have been very inconvenient for my Armony shipping plans lol. But hmm ok Russo does seem genuinely determined to get RK and everyone he’s connected to, so maybe my conspiracy theory is a little crazy lol. Oh well, it was a fun thought
You know it surprises me how much I actually love Thony/Nadia scenes. There’s obviously tension there– resentment from Nadia, guilt from Thony, and jealousy from both sides– but idk, they’re oddly united by the simple fact that they both love Arman. I’d also like to think that it was a deliberate costuming choice in this scene that they are both wearing blue rn– which has been the colour most associated with Arman through the show (for Nadia it’s green, and for Thony it’s obviously red) but that’s probably just me imagining things lol. But so anyway, I love that Nadia could have had her big security guy immediately throw Thony out, but instead she wordlessly led her to the office where they could talk. Ngl though I did giggle at her ‘well that’s progress’ line when Thony said Arman wasn’t answering her calls. The snark is strong with this one lol. But ugh their argument is amazing for so many reasons? Thony begging for Nadia’s help, knowing she has no right to, but doing it anyway because there’s literally nothing she won’t do to save Luca. Nadia clearly feeling a reluctant pity for Thony even despite her anger. Thony trying not to react to the way Nadia keeps using ‘we’ to refer to herself and Arman like they’re a single unit. Nadia getting pissed at Thony for working with RK and ‘betraying’ Arman, which is exactly what Thony got pissed at her for doing only a few eps ago. Nadia clearly now believing that Thony just uses people to get what she wants and then discards them (making the point by referring to RK as being Thony’s ‘hero’ now, after having called Arman that multiple times in previous eps)– a belief which would then make her even angrier that Thony destroyed their marriage seemingly for nothing. And– maybe because of that– Nadia deliberately not mentioning that Arman is literally out getting Luca’s meds for her right now. Then there's Thony’s instant and strong reaction when Nadia accuses her of not caring what happens to Arman, and then going quiet and clenching her jaw at the genuine worry and certainty in Nadia’s voice when she says RK is going to kill Arman, and the way she then leaves without trying to argue further. And let’s not forget the fact that she didn’t actually tell Nadia that they can’t kill Kamdar, but just told her to wait. Honestly I think that once she got her hands on Luca’s meds and ensured he was safe, she would have actually helped them to kill RK (and in a much smarter way lol), and I think that if Arman had answered any of her damn calls, she would have told him that. When they spoke at the clinic she was already upset and also completely caught off guard by his plan, but she’s had time to calm down and think about it now, and I think she would have talked it out with him and come up with a joint plan that would have protected both him and Luca. But instead of that, we got some real 'Romeo and Juliet' style miscommunication happening here, and well, that’s never led to disaster, right??? Right??
Lol if I saw Arman walking through my workplace, I too would follow after him and stare at him like these two guys are hahaha. Btw where is this shipping container place? Vegas, surely, because I assume he didn’t drive the 4 hours to LA just to talk to this guy lol. Also ngl I have to giggle because it’s been literally like a couple of days since Thony was in Manila, and yet they’re all acting like the meds have already reached the States or will be arriving at any moment, despite the fact that shipping something on a freighter from the Philippines to the US would take at least 3 weeks haha. Ah, TV magic. But ugh anyway who cares about that when Arman is so hot in this scene?? Firstly there’s his annoyance at this guy disrespecting him and trying to haggle with him– something I bet he would never have even dared to attempt in the pre-prison days– and then there’s his fury about the fact that by practically holding the container hostage, the man is endangering Luca. (Not to mention that any delay with getting the meds would mean that Thony would keep on believing that Arman can no longer be relied upon to protect Luca– I mean, not that she actually believes that, but Arman thinks she does). Honestly Arman is probably relieved to have the chance to let out his anger on someone (he could have literally just pulled his gun on the guy, but he chose to get physical haha), and unlike that asshole guy he beat for RK in 2x05, he’s doing this for himself. Ugh I have missed Big Bad Mob Boss* Arman (*with a secret heart of gold lol). I also love how useless the two musclemen were at protecting their boss haha. And then ugh his "nobody touches the cargo but me!"– he's really not taking any chances with Luca’s meds now ughhhh. I would die for him Your Honour
Nadia is crushing up pills in the bathroom and I am wheezing because a) our girl has clearly had some ~experience~ at this, which tbh is hardly surprising considering the type of party we first meet her at; and b) she’s literally got three tablets??? THREE. Three tablets of 250mcg of Digoxin (the dosage was on the bottle). That’s a total of 750 micrograms, aka LESS THAN A MILLIGRAM. For RK’s approximate weight, that’s literally considered a normal therapeutic dose. You know how much Digoxin it generally takes to create a severe acute toxic reaction? Usually more than TEN milligrams, but at the very least more than 5mg, unless someone has some pretty significant health issues and just happens to be having some REALLY shit luck that day. And as far as I could determine from his meds, the only thing RK was taking that has any potential to interact with the Digoxin would be the Benzos, but he takes a low dose and likely only uses them as needed, which means he probably hasn’t got any in his system currently. And hey, again, you know who would have known all this? THONYYYYY. Like I’m sorry if I’m ruining the very serious moment of Nadia putting her would-be ‘murder weapon’ into her cleavage in a folded up $20 lol but I just can’t deal with any of this at all hahahahaa
Ooooh Thony meeting with Garrett in the carwash, so clandestine haha. And tbh I’m actually impressed that he manages not to immediately give away that he knows about Arman and Maya, and about Thony likely lying to him, especially when the first thing she does is ask him for yet another favour lol. But holy shit she just comes right out and says that Arman is planning to kill Kamdar? Ngl that caught me off guard (I want to google if it’s technically actually illegal to make plans to kill someone– like I assume so, depending on how detailed and feasible they are?– but I don’t want to bring the feds to my own doorstep by looking it up lol). But man it really shows that Thony has come to trust Garrett– lbr him protecting Chris would have gone a long way for that– but also that she took Nadia seriously when she said that Arman was in danger from RK. Bc consider Thony's line “Arman is planning on killing Kamdar, and I need you to protect him”. Garrett takes that to mean that she wants him to protect RK from Arman, which is partly true– until she has Luca’s meds, she does still need him– but I also think that when she says ‘I need you to protect him’, she also means Arman. He needs protection from himself– from taking part in a foolish plan that could easily get him sent to prison or killed– and he needs protection from RK’s men, who could also come for him before Arman even has a chance to act on his plan. And so she asks someone she trusts– a man who is literally a trained FBI agent, and who has already protected someone she loves– to keep an eye on Arman, and keep him away from RK. I can see how some fans would call this a betrayal of Arman, but I honestly don’t see it that way at all. I see it as Thony doing the only thing she can to protect both Luca (by preventing RK’s death and the loss of access to the meds) and Arman (by literally giving him his own bodyguard). Yes, this will screw over Arman’s plans, but that’s a price she’s willing to pay– and like I said last week regarding Arman choosing to protect himself and Thony by killing Kamdar even against her wishes, her stopping him is just the same– both are a situation of “I love you enough to do what needs to be done to save you, even if it makes you hate me”. Which is why Thony is doing what's necessary to protect Arman, even if it comes at the cost of damage to their relationship and the trust between them. After all, it keeps coming back to what he said to her in 1x01: “when it comes to keeping your son [aka the people you love] alive, it’s not about doing things the right way or the wrong way, but any way you can.”
But man this ep really is aptly named, huh? Practically every scene explores the concept of trust– Thony wanting Arman to trust her judgement and not act on his plans. Arman wanting Thony to trust that he can and will protect Luca. Arman trusting Nadia to carry out this plan with him. Nadia trusting that his plan will work. Thony trusting Garrett to protect Arman (and him breaking that trust by almost murdering him). Garrett's trust in Thony being broken by her lying to him about Maya. Fi being forced to question her trust in Thony. Like damn writers, you’re really exploring human nature here aren’t you
Lol at first I thought all these texts were from Nadia to RK, and that he had actually stood her up bc he’d figured out their plan and had ditched their dinner to go abduct Arman again. But then I learned to read and saw that the texts were to Arman. Clearly something has held him up, since he said he was 10 minutes away and the tone of her texts suggests it’s been longer than that. Also sidenote, but on rewatching I noticed that right before the shot cuts to the next scene, you can see the actor who plays RK in the background, waiting just outside the door for his signal before he starts walking into the main club area lol
Aaaand now we know why Arman is delayed haha. Fell for the old kidnapper-hiding-in-the-backseat trick huh? Though tbh given the size of that car I think it would be very hard to miss a six foot man scrunched up in the backseat lol. Guess Arman just had a lot of other stuff on his mind haha. But daaaamn Garrett this is definitely not what Thony meant when she said to keep Arman away from Kamdar! Tbh I don’t love that they clearly split the scene of Nadia in Fastlane and put this in the middle of it, because it throws the chronological order out of whack, but I guess it created more suspense this way or whatever lol.
Apparently Nadia managed to get off a few more texts in the 10 or so seconds before RK crossed over to her from the doorway haha. Honestly though I think I’m becoming paranoid bc when he held out the gift box I was like IS IT GONNA HAVE SOME KIND OF PROOF IN THERE SHOWING HE KNOWS SHE’S PLANNING TO BETRAY HIM?? But then it was just a matching necklace, which then prompted the thought of ‘watch out it’s a listening device!!!!’ lol. God this show has me too on edge. Also lol RK is so goddamn Extra, like he wants to take her to Buenos Aires for sunrise?? Cool just a casual 14 hour flight in a tight dress lol. Though then again maybe his whole plan is to get her out of the dress for the flight haha. Love the ‘To our new beginning’ today bc from her it's more like ‘to your end’ lol. Honestly I have so much respect for Nadia for what she does in this next scene; like not only does she stall him for an hour to give Arman time to show up, but then when he doesn’t come, she doesn’t abandon the mission?? She makes her own distraction and then actually goes for it and doses his drink??? Like firstly omggggg girl you are literally drugging someone in a crowded area where there are multiple potential witnesses, not to mention cameras, and also where Robert himself could turn around at any second and catch her in the act?? Tbh I am now headcanoning that Sophie the waitress did actually see her do it, bc she fills up the glass literally moments later, but since Nadia has always been nice to her and RK only pays her minimum wage, she’s like ‘eh not my problem’ lol. Women supporting women, amirite?? Ngl I would totally watch a Sophie POV series of all the drama she witnesses between RK, Nadia, Arman, and Thony lol. But anyway speaking of the champagne– even once the drug is in the glass, she has so little time for it all to dissolve away???? Like did she experiment beforehand and see how long it would take?? And what about the way the medication would change the taste??? God this plan is the worst and while I am so impressed by Nadia’s bravery and her taking that risk for Arman (well, and also for her inheritance, since it makes me feel more comfortable to think that she’s doing it for selfish reasons as well as for Arman lol), this whole situation still stresses me out far too much aaaaahhh
Oh man Garrett taking Arman to the dumping spot looks so disturbingly reminiscent of Arman killing the guy in 2x04 aaaaaah. But ugh the resignation on Arman’s face– lbr he’s been waiting for this moment. Whether it was Garrett, or RK, or someone else, he’s known that this day was coming for him; that after all he’s done, he’s been living on borrowed time. I just keep thinking of the Hamilton lyrics for him: I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory. Is this where it gets me, on my feet, several feet ahead of me? I see it coming, do I run or fire my gun or let it be? But ugh even for all Garrett’s big talk (“do you think anyone would give a crap if your body was one of [the dumped corpses]?” like uh yeah buddy, Thony would sure as hell care) his gun isn’t steady and he’s clearly trying to work himself up to the idea of pulling the trigger. Also dude it annoys me so much that he says "What I really want is to know everything about the night that you put a bullet in Maya’s head" because she wasn’t shot in the head??? We clearly see (when her body is pulled out of the river) that Arman shot her in the chest. Which is also the place that makes the most sense??? It’s a bigger target, it’s quick and clean, and there’s just no way Arman would shoot an innocent woman in the head. Ugh c’mon writers, keep up lol. I thought maybe Garrett was trying to bait Arman into correcting him and revealing he did shoot her, but it didn’t really seem like that. But sigh anyway. Clearly Garrett needed to get all of this stuff off his chest about Maya, and the kind of person she was, and how she’s dead because of Arman– but tbh I think Garrett is also saying it to himself a little, like reminding himself that if she’d never met him, she never would have ended up in that river. I love that Garrett is the one to bring up Thony, showing that he knows what it means to Arman that Maya saved Thony from Cortes. Garrett knows what they are to each other, which is why when Arman turns and looks him in the eye and tells him (even though he knows that Garrett might have a recording device on him that's listening to every word) that he’d had to choose between Maya’s life or Thony’s, and that if Thony hadn’t been there, then things would have turned out differently– Garrett knows that he’s telling the truth. And even more than that, he knows the impossibility of the choice Arman was faced with, which is why he lowers the gun. He later says that he never would have done what Arman did and taken a life like that, but honestly I’m not so sure, and I don’t think he is either. He didn’t hesitate to kill Cortes when Maya was potentially in danger from him, and though killing an innocent would have been much harder for him, the whole point is that the ‘rat’ in the chair was going to die no matter what, so the choice was either to kill the rat and ensure the survival of the woman he loves, or to let all three of them be murdered for nothing. Faced with that situation, I’m certain Garrett would have pulled the trigger too.
Also dude I would have loved to see what the drive back to the gas station was like, the two of them sitting silently next to each other, both dwelling on their own grim thoughts? And then ugh when Garrett tells Arman that the second he's is no longer useful to him, he will bury him? That was hot tbh. Honestly I am living for the connection developing between these two, these former-nemeses-turned-reluctant-allies, and I can’t wait to see more of them. Their relationship is so fascinating because there is so much tension and resentment and anger but there’s also a grudging respect and regard, at least from Arman’s side (because of everything that Garrett has done for Thony) as well as remorse from Arman about his role in Garrett losing the woman he loves. Ngl I dream of a S3 where Arman and Thony are badass mob bosses of their medication import business (Nadia is happily elsewhere being queen of La Habana and Fastlane, being fawned over by men and women alike) and Armony have their morally dubious FBI buddy who they feed info to about bad guys and help him put them away behind bars. Please give it to me writers, I’d do anythiiinggggg
Okay excuse me show, you cannot just put the Armony theme music over a scene with Fi and Luca??? Firstly Luca has his own damn theme music, and secondly, don’t you know I have a very strong Pavlovian response to this specific melody lol?? That was just cruel lol
Anyway ughhhhh J-Fi are so cute with their flirting over the phone and her giddy little face, she’s like a schoolgirl with a crush omg I love themmmm
Ok honestly, I just really don’t understand how people are hating on Thony for this ep. Like she finds out Arman’s plan, and then literally the moment she is done with the procedure that Luca needs to stay alive, she leaves him with Fi while she goes to La Habana to try to talk to Arman and keep him from putting both himself and Luca in danger. But instead she finds Nadia, so she begs her to stop the plan. Then she goes straight to the one person she knows who has the best chance of keeping Arman safe, and begs him to help. And then later she literally goes to RK himself to try to convince him of how beneficial it would be to have Arman working with her on the medication importing operation, how she needs an asset like him. Like guys the woman literally left her critically ill child at home and spent the day running all over town trying to protect Arman (and ok yes, protecting Luca’s meds too, but it was never just about that). And then ugh at Fastlane when RK tries to get threatening, asking her if she’s telling him how to run his business, she stands her ground and tells him that her and Arman running the meds operation together for him was what they had all agreed to in the first place, and ugh just look at these two brave women both trying to protect Arman from RK?? Albeit going about it in very different (and somewhat conflicting) ways lol. I do kind of love that RK genuinely seems to think highly of Thony and her Badass Mob Boss potential, and wants to see her free herself from Arman, who he clearly considers to be purely dead weight. Like aw that’s nice that he’s been drinking his Respect Women (And Their Right To Do Crime) Juice lately, but shame that it comes with the side effect of hating Arman even more for the fact that he is valued and desired by these amazing women lol
So I hope you didn’t think I was done with my medical ranting because hoooooooooooo boyyyyyy I am not even CLOSE haha. Like honestly I was just going to let all of the medical stuff in this ep slide and not say anything, bc it’s TV and inaccuracies are just an inherent aspect of that, but @enigmaticfox (the little devil on my shoulder that she is) told me to go for it, and so now you must all suffer with me haha. So where to begin?? Maybe with the fact that acute digoxin toxicity is most likely to take around 2 hours post ingestion to actually start showing symptoms? Or that it is far more likely to present with vomiting and abdominal pain than sudden cardiac arrest? And oh boy I could definitely say many many things about Thony’s CPR lol, but instead I will be generous and admit that it can’t be all that easy to simulate true CPR on TV (though I have certainly seen it done much better than this on other shows haha). But I will NOT be generous about the whole "we don’t know what meds he’s on, so shocking him could kill him" nonsense lol. Important PSA to anyone reading this: if you see someone collapse from what seems to be a heart attack, and there’s a defibrillator nearby, please for the love of god put the defibrillator on them. It will literally TELL you whether their heart is in a rhythm that can be shocked or not. (And honestly even if it’s not, as long as they’re not breathing and don’t have a pulse, getting shocked anyway won’t actually hurt them– it just won’t help fix the problem at all, and will delay you resuming CPR for no reason which is definitely not what we want). So basically they 100% should have at the very least put the defibrillator pads on and checked the rhythm– and in fact, the two main cardiac-arrest rhythms caused by Dig toxicity are VF and VT, which are both shockable. But I guess the writers wanted to make it clear that without Thony there, Arman's plan would have likely succeeded and RK would have died; and that because of her choice to take actions to save his life, she indirectly condemned Arman. But dude, it just ain't that simple. Firstly, if Thony did nothing and then RK miraculously somehow survived anyway, he would definitely have her killed for not trying to save him. And though she knows that saving him means he remains a threat to Arman, he won’t be able to come after Arman immediately, meaning there’s time for her and Arman to figure out a way to get him to safety, like asking Garrett to get him put in WitSec. And maybe she’s hoping that by saving his life, RK will feel indebted to her, and will give her whatever she wants in return– which, of course, would be him sparing Arman.
But anyway, back to complaining lol. She tells the paramedics that RK is bradycardic, which literally just means that his heart is beating slowly, but she could have only known that by having felt his pulse– and if someone has a pulse, then they are not in cardiac arrest, and they don’t need CPR lol. And her telling the medics that they need an EKG makes me feel so much secondhand embarrassment, bc like dude. They know. This is literally something they deal with almost daily in their job. But then lolllll they don’t even take his shirt off and they put on like 2 leads instead of 10 and no one asks for or gives any history of what happened or any details about RK, and someone is giving him oxygen without even holding the mask to his face (meaning the O2 is all just leaking out around the mask rather than going into his lungs) . And then Thony recognises from the EKG that he might be hyperkalaemic (have a dangerously high potassium level, which to be fair does happen with Dig toxicity) and tells them to treat it by giving dextrose– except she doesn’t mention insulin which is the other very essential part of that treatment (as in, the dextrose is useless without it), and she also mentions calcium gluconate which should actually be calcium chloride which is more appropriate in cardiac arrest. Plus these are treatments which generally happen in the emergency room, not with paramedics. Also she says that the EKG shows peaked T waves and widened QRS’s, but the actual rhythm visible on the screen (while definitely slow) actually shows normal T’s and QRS’s. And also she stops CPR because they apparently ‘got a rhythm’, and gives instructions to not shock him ‘if his heart stops again’ (which, again, is bullshit) but then she tells the medic to carry on CPR??? Girl you have literally just proved he’s not in arrest???????????? This is honestly so painful haha. And omg the way the medic acts like such a robot in following her orders, like he would have had no idea what to do otherwise? Gah. Honestly even as a doctor with emergency training I would not be giving the paramedics orders??? I would be discussing my concerns with them but I would be trusting them to do their jobs??? They literally have protocols upon protocols for this shit man. But ugh. Anyway. Nadia congratulating Thony on just killing Arman was kinda funny bc she’s clearly forgetting that now she is in danger too as his accomplice– so technically, Thony may have just gotten both of them killed. Well, they got themselves into that situation so we can’t really blame Thony tbh lol. But aaaanyway I apologise for all of that, but I guess I just have a lot of Opinions haha? (/EndRant)
Sigh it’s a relief to see Luca looking better. And I appreciate that Fi actually checks in with Thony about how she’s doing; I feel like her own wellbeing gets overlooked a lot, except (for the most part at least) by Arman. And ugh she admits to Fi about having to make a difficult choice today which may have endangered Arman, and you can see how much it weighs on her. Fi immediately reassures her about Arman seeming to be able to take care of himself, which is a very valid point tbh. He’s a grown man who has lived in a very dangerous world for the last two decades; he’s no stranger to his life being at risk. Still, I think Thony would have trouble accepting that argument bc as we have already seen over the past 2 seasons, she’s very protective of Arman and worries about him at the best of times, let alone when his life is being threatened by someone like RK. She breaks it down so clearly though when she says that the decision today involved her being asked to choose Arman over Luca– because for her the situation was that simple. Letting Arman kill Kamdar to protect himself would risk losing access to Luca’s meds, which Luca would almost certainly die without; and so of course she had to choose her son– who has been her entire world for over six years– over a man who she loves, but who has only been in her life for literally about 4 months, and she honestly doesn’t even know if he will choose to stay in her life. To be totally honest, I think that just the simple fact that the decision was genuinely difficult for her to make– not in terms of knowing her choice, but in terms of acting on it, knowing the potential consequences it would have for Arman– is incredible, and shows just how deeply she cares for Arman. But lbr I’d be very concerned about any parent who did put their romantic kind-of-partner above the life of their child– like if Fi or JD had to choose between saving each other or saving Jazz, both of them would pick Jazz without hesitation, because they’re her parents. It kind of comes with the territory???
Anyway speaking of JD, he appears and is not at all happy about being manhandled by Mr Big, Bald, and Brawny. Tbh though I kind of love this bodyguard guy? Like every time he speaks you just know that there are no thoughts going on in that big bald head. He’s clearly a former boxer based on his cauliflower ears, and tbh it looks like he got just a few too many concussions lol. Honestly I would love for him to start feeling a sense of respect and regard towards Thony somehow (like maybe she helps him with a medical issue or something) and he becomes like a big ol’ loyal dog following her around haha. But anyway ooooh I kind of like that JD calls Thony out on things? I think having someone force her to look at herself and her actions is important to make sure she doesn’t disappear too far down the rabbit hole. Though it does kinda suck that he’s (very fairly) forcing Fi to be torn between Thony and the kids… but I mean, like I literally just said, she’s going to have to choose the kids, just like Thony would. But ugh when she tells Thony about the ultimatum he gave her… Thony looks so sad, because though she knows what the right choice is and will support Fi in making it, she knows it means that she will lose her entire family and be alone with just Luca once again. Tbh I’m just the tiniest bit happy that she is the one on the receiving end of this decision this time, because it might give her a sense of how it felt for Arman, and might make her be more open with him about why she did what she did and how much she wished she hadn’t had to make that decision. Ngl I have already drafted a fic where Arman turns up at her house after the events of the ep and they actually finally talk it all out and maybe also make out lol
“I’ve never had an issue with my heart” Hmmmmm are you sure you even have one, Robert?? Lol. But seriously though, one of the pills in his drawer was a ‘blood thinner’ and so that literally means that he has to have something wrong with his heart– or if not that, then a problem with blood clots, and those can obviously also lead to cardiac arrest as well anyway. So really this heart attack shouldn’t have been that much of a shock. “They checked your blood for toxins” lol like what? What funky tests are these guys running? Though to be fair, if they do take his request to test for ‘everything’ seriously, then Nadia is in deep shit because our genius boy Arman picked one of the few meds that we actually have a blood test for. And which can also cause a very distinctive waveform pattern on the EKG as well. Like siiiighhhhh have I mentioned yet how stupid this plan was???
Anyway oh mannnnn I cannot say how much I enjoyed this ep (even despite the medical ridiculousness) because holy shit literally every interaction between the characters was so good and all of them took actions that were so completely in character and ugh I am just so excited to see what happens tomorrow aaaaaahhhh

Ushijima Wakatoshi SFW alphabet
alphabet template here
fluff I sfw I gn reader I hcs
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
at first he's quite hesitant on showing affection, wondering if you're comfortable with him being that close to you. he starts off easy: holding hands, letting you rest on him... etc.
once he feels more comfortable with you, he starts placing his head in your lap and giving you little kisses here and there
his favourite forms of affection are: forehead/cheek kisses, back hugs, holding pinkies, and resting his head on your shoulder
when you’re not around he shows affection by talking to you to his closer teammates but subtly, he brings up your name once in a while and a teammate will tease "ooo somebody's in looove" and he starts blushing profusely, asking if they can go back to practice, but the thought of you never leaves
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
being best friends with ushijima seems very rare, he's pretty selective with letting people close enough to earn that title
with you it was unexpected, you weren't afraid or cautious of his stoic upfront. you sat next to him in class and tried to make conversation with him, making sure to include him in conversations and asking how he's doing once in a while. he lets his guard down a little and you guys get even closer, he even invites you over to help with some schoolwork and suddenly you guys are spending more time together outside of school
he's kind of hesitant to call you a best friend, but when he sees that you’re okay calling him yours, he adopts the same title
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
yes yes yes and yes
he is always behind you, resting your head on top of his. if not he'll be facing upwards, lying on his back, your head will be resting on his shoulder and he'll have his arm wrapped around your waist.
he's definitely 99% always the big spoon
but on the rare occasion he wants to be the little spoon, he has both his arms wrapped around your waist, with his head on your chest, your hand running through his hair while your legs are intertwined absolute bliss
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
hell yeah
he's a sucker for the domestic life, waking up with you in your sub-urban house, a train ride away from the city. making cakes with you in your green painted kitchen which took you way longer than it needed to bc you kept messing around
he can cook, oh my, he buys some cookbooks and you guys spend some time with each other
I feel like he wants kids, some mini him and you running around, if not he'll adopt some
him teaching his kids to play volleyball in the backyard, him brushing their teeth and reading them bedtime stories and them giving them a little kiss goodnight cuteness overload
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
definitely depends on the reason why you're breaking up, but in this scenario, let's say he hasn't been home enough and you guys feel like you're not with each other enough pain
he really dreads having to break up with you, but he knows you deserve more than someone who is barely home. he's not harsh about it, he sits you down at a time when you guys are both free and explains why, "maybe the time isn't right, right now"
even though he broke it off, he still thinks about it quite a lot, he really hopes that you guys will find your way back to each other one day even if he knows that it won't be possible bc right now you're happier with someone else :( i love angst
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
his volleyball career kinda gets in the way of him wanting to commit to you, but he wants to show you that you mean the world to him, so i think he proposes in his mid-late twenties
his proposal isn't really that over the top, but he takes you out first for a fancy dinner with the excuse 'can't i treat you once in a while'. it's quite dark outside and you guys are looking over the city, you turn around to ask him something and you see him down one knee lovely
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
he is very gentle... probably bc of his strict upbringing, but he makes sure not to hurt you in any way
he becomes so much more gentle with his words, careful of saying the wrong words because he can't stand the thought of losing you
physically, he tries to make sure not to accidentally knock into you bc this man is so big and if you get ill ushijima is doing anything in his power to get you better, he tries not to get sick in the process, but having you care for him doesn't seem like the worst idea
emotionally, he tries to support you, but he's not the greatest at dealing with emotions, but when supporting you he tries comforting you rather than trying to solve your problems
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
at the beginning of the relationship, i think his hugs are kind of stiff-ish, but once you guys get more comfortable he goes all in
he's such a good hugger. he doesn't do half-hugs, it's all of it or nothing, he engulfs you with his strong arms a little bit too tight but who needs air
if he feels extra clingy back hugs. he loves the feeling of having your figure pressing against his, sometimes his hands grip onto your waist and he'll sway you back and forth while humming to his favourite song
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
as I've mentioned before, you're the first one to say ily in the relationship, but he says it back straight after
i like to think this happens about 5/6 months into the relationship, just when you guys start getting really comfortable around each other
as for using the L-word, he doesn't really say it that often, he believes when something is overused it isn't as special. he only uses it when it needs to be said
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
he doesn't really get jealous easily bc he's kind of oblivious or chooses not to pay attention to it
but when he catches on to whatever's going on, his eyebrows furrow and he'll just give the stare, he'll come near you and put an arm around your waist and slyly try to join the conversation
he knows what he's doing and so does everyone else
the person you're talking to gets a bit intimidated and tries to end the conversation as quickly as possible
you'll try to tease him for his jealously and he'd just change the subject and starts blushing a little, if you try to bring it up later he'd be like 'huh what was that sorry i don't remember'
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
I'm not good with this type of stuff ahh
he's actually pretty good at kissing. he likes soft kisses and little pecks on the shoulder and forehead.
when he's rough or needy, he gets really handsy like hands cupping your cheeks, in your hair, hands pulling your waist in - just very intimate
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
lazy mornings bc who likes being productive all the time
he likes sleeping in on days he has nothing to do, so he’ll be behind you hugging your waist and his head resting on your back, you try to stand up so you can get breakfast done but he pulls you back and says 'come on, just a little more', you know that means another hour but you still get sucked back into his warm embrace
you end up falling asleep and wake up with noises coming from the kitchen. you walk in on him wearing just an apron and his pajama pants, dancing to the radio while making pancakes for breakfast
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
again lazy evening edition bc why not
he comes home early that day, brings home your favourite snacks and asks if you want to watch a movie with him
he grabs a few blankets from your room and you guys decide to watch 13 going on 30 one of my comfort movies
halfway through the movie, he places his head on your laps asking for you to play with his hair, he lies down and you throw some popcorn and skittles in his mouth every few minutes, you tried pouring water but he started choking and spat water all over your shirt
it gets pretty late and cold so he changes you into his hoodie and carries you over to the bedroom. you guys fall asleep to the hums of the city below
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
he's a very reserved person, and i think it's just the way he was raised, talking about feelings wasn't normal in his home growing up
i think with you it takes him some time to open up, he reveals a few things about him and his childhood here and there but nothing major
he doesn't talk about how he feels enough, so it kinda relies on you being able to notice a change in his behaviour which might I say seems extremely hard
i think if you start being more open to him, then he follows on
he gets more comfortable with his emotions around you first and then starts being more open to his team - just give him some time he gets there
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
oh he's so patient, so patient
it takes a LOT to anger him, i don't think you ever have or ever will see this man angry, tbh i don't think you would want to
if you ever lash out at him, he'd sit down and understand where you're coming from, he'd try to calm you down and give you a second to let it all out
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing or do they kind of forget everything?)
he remembers everything, literally everything
you mentioned that you liked mangos yesterday, and boom you've got a lifetime supply in your kitchen /s
he keeps a little note in his notes app just making sure he doesn't forget anything, he has your favourite orders, skin/hair care products you use, and little stuff like your favourite show in there
he does this bc he loves how your eyes beam after realising he remembers the little details
R = Remember (What is their favourite moment in your relationship?)
this one hc is why this took so long, so I decided not to do bc my brain isn’t responding
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
ushijima isn't the overprotective type although he is protective
he doesn't care what you wear or how you present yourself, as long as you’re comfortable, you will have his full support
if he sees someone making you uncomfortable, he is always quick to jump in and say "you're making them uncomfortable can you please excuse yourself". if he sees a situation is making you feel uneasy he will take you and leave, to calm you down or to clear your mind, which ever one is the best choice in that moment
he doesn't feel the need to be protected, he believes that hes strong enough for the both of you sometimes he needs a little help so pls do step in
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
such a big try hard, he puts so much effort into dates, anniversaries, and even mundane everyday activities.
even far into your relationship he still pulls up at your door with a suit and a flower bouquet which he seems to never forget
he always wants everything to be perfect so you'll never forget
he enjoys surprising you with little gifts to remind you that he still cares. he seems like the type to buy you a promise ring, and oh my is it beautiful
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
this is hard bc in my eyes this man can't do any wrong, but its probably how he can't express his emotions very well
everyone gets in a bad mood once in a while, but for ushijima its different, the stress of volleyball gets to him and he just ends up shutting everyone out, including you. he was never taught how to properly talk abt how he feels so he just holds it in with never intending to let it out
if you try to ask him whats wrong then he just grunts and shrugs it off
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
he isn’t insecure for how he looks physically, he works out and maintains a healthy lifestyle, and he was blessed with that beautiful face of his *chefs' kiss
he's always hygienic (bare minimum), he cuts his hair regularly, keeps his hands nice and clean, with his nails well-trimmed
he likes to keep his appearance up and always looks like he should be on the front cover of a magazine but so effortlessly
bonus: he smells so good, he wears expensive cologne and zooweemama its so tasty, you'll hug him and never want to let go just because
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
he wouldn't necessarily feel incomplete with out you, he'd feel a bit empty
he forgets how much he misses you when he goes abroad for matches and he can't see you for a week straight. he makes sure to send videos and voice notes rather than texts so you can send some back. he video calls everyday, no matter the time difference just so he can see you in real time
if you guys take a break in the relationship, he finds his self drifting back into his stoic shell. he tries his best not to bc he knows how much he loves the person you've helped him become
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
doesn't know how to flirt hehe
he tries to use a smooth pick up line once in a while but they all end up with him in a flustered mess before he can even finish a sentence, i think we should leave the flirting to you
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
liars/dishonest people
he can't stand it when somebody lies to him, its agitating when someone he cares for feels the need to lie to him, it makes him feel like they don't trust him enough
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)
he's a quite a light sleeper and wakes up pretty easily. he also looks dead when he sleeps, for example most days he sleeps pretty early bc he's worn out and you come into the bedroom and see him lying down on his back, his chest isn't even moving like it should be, but you'll get into bed with him and his first instinct is to wrap his arms around you and give you a kiss
i think he sleep talks, omg just imagine ushijima whispering about the weirdest things in his dreams. you recorded him once and showed him when he woke up and he got a bit embarrassed and started laughing
here's the hcs for mornings with ushi
this took me so long omg >o< I really hope I portrayed his character well bc he’s such a lovely person
make sure to take care of yourselves :)
