riwoo? 👀

i can’t get over househusband riwoo tbh🤭🤭 i just need him to be waiting for me when i get home to let me use him🥴😩😩

he’d love it too!! what happens when u get home after work and ur pissed off with ur coworker making ur job harder all day!! u curse and complain, throwing your purse onto the couch and kicking ur shoes off like!! where does she get off??? but ur melting at the sight of ur sweet little boyfriend waiting for u, like can i do anything to make it better? i’m sure if she knew how hard u worked she wouldn’t treat u like that :(((

i just need him!!! he would mouth at ur cunt through ur panties, drooling all over ur clothed core because he just wants a taste!!! u wouldn’t be able to keep urself from him long because as much as he desires to shove his tongue deep into ur pussy, u need that more!!! we’ve been over this but he would get sooo pussy drunk, eating u out like it’s his only purpose in life<333

then he’d have u take him however u want<33 if u want him to fuck u in missionary so u can just lay back and enjoy him thrusting his cock deep inside u, tuckering himself out but still pushing through so he can please u!!! or if u wanna ride him, watching him fall apart under you but still grinding his hips upwards to meet urs with the last of his energy!!! or maybe u want him to take u doggystyle, he loves every part of u.. and i think he’s more of a boob guy but he’d also love to watch ur ass while he takes you from behind, spanking you when you snap at him to go faster!! maybe he gets a little more dominant with you, telling you to take it, he knows how to take care of u! he’s the one you came crawling to to destress after all, but once you’ve both cum you roll him over onto his back and go down on him, milking him for all he’s worth even though he’s so sensitive and overstimulated because where does HE get off talking to u like that??? apparently all over ur tits cuz he loves when u boss him around<3333333

- 🍑 anon

ughh this is the dream!! riwoo is so reassuring and always does his best to be objective while also comforting you. he's got such a way with words and is happy to try and make you smile. he would do literally anything to see you happy and to make you feel good. his main goal is to be of good use, he wants your praises. he'd be right at your side as soon as he hears you coming in. i feel like normally he'll take your bag from you, placing it nicely but since you're so upset he'd just leave you to let out your frustrations, only being concerned about you. he'd listen to you so well, making his little comments here and there.

he'd offer his services in any way he sees fit, telling you that he can make u feel better if you want. he'd sink to his knees so willingly, placing little kisses over your thighs before coming close to your warmth. he'd place even more kisses there, trying his hardest to take his time but he loves being between your legs so so much. he'd kiss and suck at your clit through your panties, wanting so badly to bury his fingers inside but he would try to hold it off. instead he'd pull your panties to the side, sticking his tongue in and tasting you deeper.

ugh so true!! he's yours to use and he'll give you whatever it is that you want. he's soo into you picking how you want to use his body and he's happy to do it however you please. the part about him getting more dominant with u 🤭 i think he does that when u in some way question his ability to care for u and to fuck u properly because he feels like he needs to show you he can do it!! he's here to take care of you and he's serving his purpose! he understands his place tho, he knows he shouldn't overstep and he knows that he loves to be under u 😖😖

Bdubs' typing style

saw a post that i felt did Not describe bdubs' typing habits correctly at all so i needed to make a post about it.

OLD typing style (like 2011 early years) bdubs kinda sucked at typing and grammar lol. He was a slow typer and spelled stuff wrong a lot (mostly big words. he would often voice how he didnt know how to spell sometimes as he did it. and then he'd spell it wrong lol). would type abbreviations too like bbl, brb, lol, np, etc. Sometimes he would type ones like "lol" in all caps. He would also shorten some words/spell them an alternate way like "gunna" instead of "gonna" or "lil" instead of "little"

He didn't really use emotes too much other than a basic :) or ;) usually. you could maybe throw in a :P or :D if you wanted but i mostly see the former.

He would not use other punctuation like apostrophes much if at all, sometimes use commas where needed, and not capitalize his sentences. would use periods if typing more than one sentence in the same message, and using question marks where needed, and sometimes exclamation marks if he felt the need (sometimes more than one if hes "mad"). he'd even use "..." in his sentences (usually without a space between words).

examples from mindcrack

NEW typing style- Bdubs is technically better at typing (lol). One of the issues with new videos though in order to find chat messages is that people often cut out any kind of chatting in edited videos. But i will describe what i can based off what we do see- (its not much different tbh)

A bit faster of a typer now but if you watch him actually type in videos/streams, you'll see him get stuck sometimes as he tries to figure out his sentences. but he does spell things correctly now for the most part.

Interestingly I would sometimes see in old videos where id see him typing some sentences in a more ~proper~ manner. ex one being "i look forward to seeing such things as these" at guude when he said he was recording something. In hermitcraft charity stream last year he whispered to etho "of course! with our prefect prowess" (screenshot below). which is not at all his *usual* way of typing, its more exaggerated on purpose.

this is funny to me that i have noted it so long ago, and then we have a guy who seems very into settings that would lend that kind of speech (all his bwb kingdoms, the king arc with ren where its VERY apparently used). that said he doesnt do this much- dont go overboard on this one! i feel its mainly when bragging about himself, or a few times where he thinks it would be amusing- he can be pretty sarcastic sometimes (outside of the king arc roleplaying)

He still doesn't use emotes much (i cant think of many new videos where he does, but i dont have as much reference in these new videos. i would play it safe and stick to the simple ones mentioned above. While he still doesn't punctuate his sentences as much and still doesn't capitalize, I feel like he types a bit more how he talks? using exclamations more to finish his sentences, sometimes a "?!", maybe more than one exclamation even- and usually when sounding "mad" in chat he will use all caps. sometimes a multiple !! or ??

from hermitcraft streams

sooo i hope that gives a good idea.

edit post later

got fuckkkedddddd so hardddddd by a cute trans masc guy and we're considering a fwb situation. they said they love my energy and they felt very comfortable with me. I've never felt more attractive in my life tbh. he got me drunk on tequila while we watched a horror movie, i ended up taking three shots and one goooood hit of their pipe which is totally enough for me to be pleasantly drunk and just a little high. we had a drunk cigarette in their spare bedroom (they're really in the most r/malelivingspaces place I've ever been in) and I had taken my shirt off while we were making out on the couch and I was just so comfortable and felt so sexy. I kept asking for kisses while I did my silly little drunk stand up and eventually they just kind of grabbed me and steered me towards the bedroom. I don't even remember when exactly I took my pants off, I just remember being angry they were still on and yanking them off. they ate me out, they fingered me, I sucked them off... their cock is sooo sexyyy and they tasted so good. I wish I could've done it for longer but I kept needing to breathe. I kept grinding against them. I was so drunk that I was floaty and distant but still very present in my own body. it was beautiful and fantastic and I loved it and I loved myself and I loved them for loving me.

they fingered me and I didn't even realize they'd grabbed a dildo until it was inside of me and they fucked me soooo welllll I was squirming and bucking. they'd put on music when we started fucking and I thought, "it really doesn't need to be that loud, it's not like I that much noise", but brother I do. I do make that much noise, and more. Literally the only time I was moaning and begging and saying some variation of or including, "oh fuck yeah" was when I was too focused on suffocating myself in his pussy. my tongue and my jaw still ache. I still feel so well fucked. I didn't even cum with them (tequila + my meds ? whatever) and it was the best sex EVER and I hope we can keep doing it and it only gets better

they did everything I asked them to. they spanked me when I said, "spank me", they didn't hesitate when I asked them just to lay directly on top of me. I wanted to ask them to call me a good boy, but I was too embarrassed... I'm sure they'd love to. they fucked me so good and pushed the dildo inside of me and laid on top of me and just kind of humped me and kept the dildo inside... it was so sexy. I love fat and hairy trans men so much, I couldn't stop telling him how sexy he was, and I just loved feeling him on top of me, I never wanted him to get off. we basically went directly to sleep (on the most uncomfortable air mattress I have ever slept on, I swear to god, it was baddddd... my arms kept falling asleep because of the positions I was laying in trying to be comfortable) and it feels so good to be pressed up against someone and cuddled so good. he snores pretty loudly which, mixed with the horrible air mattress, kept waking me up, but I can fall asleep pretty quick and I loooovvveeee snoring. it's so comforting to me, I often put on snoring asmr shit to fall asleep so it was very nice.

i definitely want to watch movies with them, I want to make out with them, I want to suck them off, I want them to fuck me, I want to get drunk for them.

crave gyu always drives me crazy!! HE'S SO CUTE BUT AT THE SAME TIME SUCH A SON OF A BITCH‼️‼️ 😫

anyway, he's still my favorite 🥲👍

i tried to imagine myself in that situation where yn is, and it would be too horrible

firstly, I'm not a sub and don't even try to convince me to be one, and secondly, I can't keep quiet and my patience is zero, so there would be so much fighting, but... for some reason, I feel sorry for them, I guess? Idk why, but it seems like they really need love and someone by their side to give them attention and affection sooo that would definitely make me cling to them, but living in those conditions is absolutely impossible

I just wanted to say that I love the universe you created and since I love werewolves, and that made me fascinated in crave so pretty much 🙃💖

I'm looking forward to seeing tyun's headcanon, and yes, there's still Yeonjun, but I'm more curious about Taehyun

this ask made me giggle and kick my feet tbh !! yes let’s talk let’s converse let’s discourse i love it i love it

i’m so glad you love crave!! it’s definitely for the submissive and breedable girlies lol but it warms my heart that you love it anyway lol!!

mc definitely feels some kind of pity for them which is part of why she gets so stockholm-y and sticks around like she does lol. especially since they have troubled pasts. she’s a sweetheart and it gets the better of her

the way i talk about crave makes it sound like they’re fucking and sucking 24/7 and it’s really not like that !! there’s a big sexual tension element to it because i’m a sucker for sexual tension lol and most of the smutty smut happens either during their rut cycles or because their relationship is blossoming or wtv you would call it. i’m not sure how else to word that i hope you get what i’m talking about lol

but yes mc is definitely a strong soldier for living the way she does lmao !! originally crave was set in a kind of medieval/rural victorian (?) time period so mc was already kind of used to being a bangmaid iykwim.. she went from taking care of her family to taking care of these men essentially. there’s kind of a theme about women / misogyny

but i flip flop on it a little i’m not sure if i want it to be modern now or not ?? idk

Diary entry #4 - 23/01/25-26/01/25

Sooo girls to be so real w u rn this is just gonna be one biiiig yap session bc honestly i dont usually do much over the weekends.. except for this one apparently i totally cooked omg.

Firstly thursday whihc i only have one thing to say abt bc it was ages ago and erm.. it sucks.. its alr the day im writing this is a good one so i get to yap abt that in a sec.

Anyways basically i got out early and i was waiting for my friend by the gate and this girl i know was walking by and i thought she waved at me so ofc i waved back. But then she was acc waving at her bf behind me and she and the girl she was with (who doesnt like me) started like leaning over and giggling and shit. Now firstly i hadnt had any interactions at all w that girl in months and honestly she started talking more in lessons n stuff and honestly i like.. this is gonna be super weird to say but i thought she was changing. And as weird as it sounds i was honestly kinda disappointed. Like ofc it was embarrassing but also.. damn i thought u were becoming a better person but alright.. also i thought i was kinda friends w the girl she was talking to be she used to be so sweet and just.. damn. Like i used to have a little crush on her for a while bc she was rlly sweet and i didnt get why people didnt like her and called her two faced but erm. Yeah i get that now. And its so weird bc shes sorta used to be friends w my friends so sometimes she comes up and she still talks to me and its like.. yeah no thanks. Like idk why i would want to talk to u when ik ur friend hates me and u dont either a) tell me or b) shut it down or at least c) dont laugh damn.

Also another weird thing it made me realise that i kinda base beauty on how ppl treat me yk? Like i used to think she was really pretty but after that i just sorta dont. And ik it sounds bad but like.. i think its just bc my opinion on ppl changes based on how they treat me ofc. Also it was kinda relieving bc mentally ive always kinda valued looks over personality when dating bc if im not attracted to u i really dont wanna waste ur time w it yk? Bc beauty is subjective and js because your beauty isnt my version of it doesnt mean that should be your problem. But also i like find it hard to find even ‘ugly’ people not pretty and its nice to know im not like absolutely evil for caring abt how ppl look and its kinda sorta me just evaluating how they treat me yk?? Or maybe im an arsehole idk tbh..

Anywaysyyss onto fridayyy! So i acc didnt go to school that day.. and this was before my anxiety kicked in btw it was just there was a storm w really strong winds and neither me or mum wanted to go out in it (bc respectfully we would acc both get blown over the winds were that bad). Sooo yum i got that day off! Buut icl i just put on a chill fit and bedrotted. I dont even remember shit from friday except telling my mum like ‘yeah tbh i dont think ill have another day off this year’ GIRL. Thats why i never say shit like that ik i didnt but it feels like i jinxed it.. thats why im so scared of saying shit like that omgmgmg i have horrible timing.

Anyways then erm.. there was saturday which was! Not a good day at first! So basically when i got up in the morning the bathroom floor was wet and nobody told me so the clothes i brought to change into got wet and i had to put on a diff outfit. And bc my hair was greasy i decided to try and proper braid it bc i got close before and it would make me feel better. Spoiler it didnt bc i literally couldnt and i got soososo upset and frustrated over it. And then my stupid arse decided to look in a mirror after and (bc i was having a bad day) i thought i was gross and ugly aaannddd i cried over it. And ofc that spiralled into me ranting abt how dirty my house makes me feel sometimes and how fucking gross i felt and how it felt like nobody would ever like me which.. girl stfu giggle. Lordy typing this is depressing me anyways after that little episode i was like ‘ykw dont be a bitch if u dont like sumet do sumet about it’ so i started cleaning my room and guess what i fkn found. A like dirty old drawing id made when i was really little of my family. So ofc i bawled my eyes out over that. Literally like on and off crying for a solid hour icel that shit HIIT.

But then ofc the post breakdown urges kicked in and i was like fuck it and started completely clearing out my room. Like literally everywhere but under my bed and a set of drawers was completely cleaned out and i now have a bag of stuff to get rid of in my room. Also tiny side rant this is totally first world spoilt bitch problems but whenever my mum washes my clothes for me she piles them on top of that bag like. Two days ago i was weeping about how digusting my room was idec if you just shove it in my wardrobe just PLS let me LIIIVVEE </3

Okay anyways bitching over i spent like the entire of saturday clearing out and thank fuck i acc completely finished it. Like theres still some mess but tbh fuck that shit rn wait until my next breakdown pls.

Andnnd guess what i did on sundayy.. actually i was gonna say bedrotted but i kinda didnt? Like icel my hair was so fucking greasy that it basically slicked itself back so obvi i couldnt be seen in public but when i got up i acc like didnt go on my phone and i meditated and i did a fkn workout. It was like a 10min dance workout but girl thats better than like.. ever idk giggle. And even tho i barely did shit other than play pokemon it was acc kinda a good day. Tbh a win to mee!!

Andd.. okay maybe that was a bit less rambly than i expected bc i barely did anything but overall the weekend was sorta a winn!

s2 time! i'm not gonna be as thorough with it as i was w s1 bc i'm not a huge fan of season 2 ff but here goes

(this post's gonna be tosh/owen + some fragments talk, then i'm gonna reblog with a day in the death stuff, and then ill make a separate post for adam bc. woo nelly. that one warrants it.)

so lets start with the tosh/owen differences. a lot of their little scenes in s2 are markedly different - mostly as far as body language. there's a surprising amount of physical affection between them.

four separate occasions (eps 3, 4, 8, and 9) where there's physical affection between them in the script that didn't make it into the episode. i find this intriguing. tosh and owen are both very... non-affectionate people. both of them could be, with someone they loved romantically, but they don't strike me as the type of people who like to cuddle with their friends. they're both naturally very aloof and non-touchy, which makes that casual physical touch very ooc. i imagine that's why it didn't end up on screen. i figure the writers here knew the show was meant to push the tosh/owen angle in s2, but it's interesting to me that it ended up being a lot more subtle and... awkward in the show itself. i've already said i'm not a towen fan, for many reasons, but one is that there's just... zero chemistry between them (in s2, anyway). every interaction is forced and uncomfortable. it's weird enough that i was thrown off by it for a long time and couldn't figure out what the show was trying to do with them, lmao. i know that their awkwardness probably appeals to some people, and is cute or smth, but i dislike it personally. mostly i'm just petty the show reduced tosh down to that relationship tbh but whatever.

i can't help but wonder if they had this casual physical affection with each other, and if it fit in and didn't feel ooc for them, if i would like them as a couple more. but honestly i have thought about what the show could've done to make tosh/owen endear me, and i don't think uncharacteristic physical affection would be it. i do like that first scene, the way their communication styles clash a bit and they don't know quite how to talk to each other. i like owen awkwardly trying to comfort her, i love when he does that, how it's like a baby deer walking for the first time fhsdjfkds. im very endeared by the way owen's empathy is either out of nowhere and all-consuming, or something he has to force and is awkward about wielding. whenever he tries to be kind it's very tentative, because it doesn't come natural to him (anymore, at least), but he does care enough to try. i'm so fond of it. also hes sooo nd ehehe. tosh too.

will say this: i do appreciate owen getting hugs. he does need it. tosh needs it too. if the team WAS physically affectionate with each other they'd be better off, i think.

two more tosh/owen things...

see, this is what i mean when i say i couldn't tell what the show was doing with them. the SHOW can't even tell. this whole scene is written very vaguely, with little insight into owen's head, like the damn writer doesn't even know why he finally agreed. this is probably my, like, fourth favorite tosh/owen scene, which isn't saying much, 'cause i still don't really like it. it's cute in like, three spots, but mostly it just feels... weird. i don't understand what burn was intending with his acting choices, because owen comes across as insincere and slightly snide. it's weird and gross, and it rubs me wrong. i don't know if he's trying to be casual and play it cool or something, but the way he laughs at her makes me wanna punch him. the way owen treats tosh is just about the only place i legitimately can't stand him.

one last bit about it. see, 'fondly'. in the actual scene, i would describe the way owen looks at her in this moment as.... amused (at her expense) and slightly condescending. like he thinks she's laughable. it fucking bothers me. which sucks because i wanna like them, i do. i think they could be compatible. but the way he treats her in canon is nauseating and i can't get behind it.

right, and then two fragments moments i wanna discuss

all i really wanna say here is again (as mentioned in my end of days talk), chibnall didn't specify owen crying or anything, but he spends his whole segment of this ep in tears. point is i wanna thank burn gorman for the way owen constantly is teary eyed and miserable, with those big pretty brown doe eyes of his. it means the world to me. thats all

actually it's not all cuz i also wanna point out jack grabbing owen to stop him instead of owen collapsing into tears and sobbing into jacks chest while jack holds him. the dead man walking script similarly didn't specify the physical touch between jack and owen in the three places it appears, so i imagine that was largely something decided by the actors... i'm very compelled by the three separate instances where we see owen attack jack one minute / at one point in the ep and then sob in his arms the next. their relationship is sooo unhealthy fff

[salaciousslut]

Done! Also do you have a favorite tequilla brand? Just curious! 🫣

Technically i have freckles all over my face but i only really count the ones that are darker and in a line under my eyes and over my nose, the other ones aren't prominent enough to call them freckles imo. And i'd feel more than lucky if you did worship me, sweetheart<3

I would love to take you to the gym with me, it honestly helped me with my depression as well! And of course i'd watch over you sweetheart<3 i wont lie, i love to go after dark bc theres less people. And i had the same problem but now i catch myself and try to stand straighter. I mostly lift weights when i work out so I know my posture improved due to needing to have a straight back to lift. Plus its super fun imo!! I miss the gym so bad but i hate going alone. I also miss feeling sore, im a bit of a masochist so i love feeling sore the day after working out🤭

Dont apologize for giving me info<3 organization's overrated anyway. Ive found that girls with glasses tend to be my type🫣 you literally sound so pretty sweetheart<3 i knew i wasnt wrong calling you a pretty princess<3 im kissing the tip of your nose and your forehead rn🥰 you are literally so cute, puppy coded too🥺 ive never had crawfish it seems yummy but im not sure if i should try it! Shrimp ceviche used to be my favorite but then i developed a shrimp allergy to uncooked shrimp and around 17 i had to call it quits bc it stopped being worth it to risk it. Im still pissed but at least i can still eat shrimp its just gotta be thoroughly cooked, not just get cooked through the acidity of lime juice like its sucks so bad i just miss ceviche so bad. Ohh just a butch latina and a pretty asian girl what ever will they do hehe<3 and i knew but not cause you told me 🫣 your dni made it obvious, like yeah im just now saying hey but ive been aware of you for a little bit now🫣 also please lemme be ur body pillow one day<3 savory is good!!! Whats your favorite kind of snack?

Also thats adorable, youre just a cute little puppy that has to get off once a day to function her best<3 i mean if i were stressed from school i'd probably need the same thing🤭

tbh im not too picky about my brands, as long as it gets me drunk, then im happy!! also tequila makes me take my clothes off oopsies i think i should warn u about that!! but if im buying for myself, i typically will get espolon bc i feel like its yummy and reasonably priced!

yes i love feeling sore after a workout!! i am also a bit of a masochist (omg who knew)!! but ive never lifted weights before. all the dude bros scare me and i feel like im always being judged but if we went together i know u would take care of me!! i like aerobics and like calisthenics (i had to google how to spell that word) and love yoga sm!! the burn of stretching feels amazing!!

hehe i am very puppy coded! i used to think i was more kitten coded but now ive grown and realized puppies are sooo fun!! so much energy and just wanna be cherished and loved!! which is everything i want!!

nooooo thats so sad that ur allergic to ur fav food :(( i love ceviche but at least u can still tolerate the cooked version. i know its not the same but its still something!!

ohhh i forgot that i put that in my dni, people are so weird about race here smh i just gotta cover all my bases so i can have fun on this website!! but aww we would look soooo cute together

im a sucker for chips. u know how they say all bi girls do is lie and eat hot chip? yeah all i do is eat hot chip hehehe. not so much lying but hot chip very much so. i also loveee chips and salsa and chicken wings and yeah all the fun savory stuff i guess!!!

hehe cumming is like a lil treat!! a reward for myself for being sooo good you know? but it would be a million times better if someone else was making me cum rather than myself 😳🫣

[griefabyss69]

directors commentary on acceptance and negation pls!

this dynamic is super hard to find in fics and you did it sooo well while keeping them in character!

Thank you so much!! Making the characters believable is like my #1 goal most of the time and this one was very heavy on situations that we definitely don't see in canon LMAO

Okay first of all - same! The "lost bet / rivals / begrudgingly super into this" dynamic is one of my favorite things to read and I also find it hard to find written properly. There's a needle to thread there for sure, and people often go too far one way or another (for MY tastes, this isn't a moral judgement).

Rivals to lovers is like catnip to me when done well - two people who are at odds with each other but obsessed enough to not just ignore each other, instead they perhaps concoct a little bet that ends with one of them cumming in their jeans, or something :' )

I think Steve and Eddie have a GREAT canon set up for this dynamic, and I know I've read it before and found it satisfying, though that dynamic resolved before they got to the sex. Even if you do a post-S4 Eddie lives, there's still plenty of rival potential!

So in this fic in particular, I had the theme (forniphilia) and a little tiny summary of an idea (I have them for my whole philia series, which is NOT how I usually write), and so I didn't just open a blank document and then get possessed for 7 hours and have this out of nowhere.

Usually I get a vibe/sliver of an idea/a sentence or a theme, and then I start writing and usually it flows in a satisfying enough way that I don't mind when it doesn't go how I initially thought it would, that's typical for me and how I do anything really. But I had to keep this on the rails!

Luckily those rails were for a train that's been living in me for longer than I've been writing for ST. When I started the paraphilia series the fics were all supposed to be short - it was mostly for a writing exercise type of thing, warm ups, etc. Buuuuut this one was written in two sessions, edited in another two, and turned out to be like 18K.

I don't use a word program that has a word counter, because that's distracting to me (my editing is done in one though, it lags too much for my typing speed anyway, I have an old laptop, but this set up works well enough for now), so sometimes I'll check on the wordcount. I remember checking this one at around 3K like 'alright! Better wrap it up!'.

Yeah.

I had a lot of fucking fun with this one, walking the tight rope of "okay they're horny as hell and this is getting unrealistic, but I'll keep the emotional/social thread of it properly done". And I imagine between two kinky ass people this kind of situation IS realistic, even when they're rivals!

This was honestly a really fun character exploration of a different kind of Steve than I usually write - a lot of my writing is an Eddie POV to begin with, but then either it's Steve being series or Steve being horny, not this. I think it's more well rounded, and usually I don't have him pushing his limits like this - in my head that's more of an Eddie thing to do, he's a bit of a thrill seeker - but in a situation where he has something bigger than just following what he wants to do, that's a good moment to discover some new shit about himself. Growth happens in a lot of ways, sometimes it's when you have to get on your hands and knees to your rival can use you as a footstool, you know how it is!

Steve's experience was a fun balance, including his struggle to keep from just giving into the easier feeling of believing Eddie's being kind when he has no real evidence of that - he's being smart tbh, whether he's right or wrong. Not letting himself fully sink into the experience even though it was so tempting, like a warm bath after a cold day. Getting a little sucked into the fuzzy space anyway, enjoying it despite everything. Lots for him to think about!!!

Another thing to balance was Eddie, how mean he was going to be, any potential consent issues - it's one thing to order a person around, another thing to bring sex into it - usually with this kind of limit pushing there's trust involved, talking beforehand, etc. But this wasn't like that, there had to be a progression that was really based on like, a few failsafes and trusting each other to not go too far. Then Eddie taking care of him while still ordering him around - that was obvious on purpose, both to the reader and to Steve - because otherwise Steve would've just left and while Eddie loves that he got to torment him and edge him and then watched him ruin his own orgasm by accident, that level of intensity can't just stop without a soft place to land.

I gotta say. The reception to this one definitely surprised me, I don't think I've had people asking for a sequel more than with this one - I gotta stick to my rule with it though, this was a one shot. I simply have one hundred million WIPs (around 50 now that I WANT to finish, and like 100 more ideas I hope to write… as unrealistic as that is). People have been SO nice and supportive in the comments on this one, both on the fic and then either in my inbox or DMs on here!

That doesn't mean I'm not exploring Steve and forniphilia in other fics though, I have a WIP that doesn't have the rival to lovers dynamic, it focuses more on the kink itself. Before writing Acceptance and Negation I knew I was kind of interested in exploring it, but knowing I have an interest and getting around to it are two different things, but writing this really helped me start with that!

But I do really hope to figure out this dynamic in another situation, maybe another paraphilia fic because rivals and kinky shit goes REALLY well together in terms of kicking up the tension. (In fact, Waves - the saliromania / spit fic - was going to be rivals, but I actually had that one started as it's own thing before I realized I liked it much better than the little summary I had for that kink. No regrets there, but there's plenty of room in my ideas for more rivalry!!!)

Okay this is long as HELL so I'm going to end it here before I start writing another thousand words!! Thank you again anon <3

Sam never say sorry for responding late!! Also you literally mentioned how sick you felt!! Truly my message is the LEAST of your worries!! Gonna go a bit backwards here but I’m so sorry you got sick :( the fact that it’s a whole ass sinus infection is even worse 😭and the fact that you still went to your students game?! Bestie that’s very sweet and I have no doubt that it meant loads to him even if it’s not explicitly expressed ! Sucks it was definitely just poor timing! I’m glad it’s nothing too serious and you got meds to help! Also please take them as directed I beg😭 I have a huge fear of antibiotic resistance(I’m insane I know lol) and I tell everyone to take them properly 😭though hopefully you’ll be able to get some proper rest on your break! Hopefully you’ll be able to do some things for yourself! I’m happy you’re on your way to recovery!! 💕

I kinda love that you and your coworker take on the good/bad cop roles lol though I fear I may have to agree that you probably aren’t that mean lol as someone who also gets told I’m not that mean i understand how it may FEEL like your the villain!

It’s definitely understandable the need to make things personal! I don’t do group meet ups often if I haven’t seen people for a long time since I love one on one time! But idk maintaining adult friendships is difficult sometimes but I wouldn’t be so har don yourself especially when they don’t give even a fraction of the energy back! And as a fellow over thinker I know it’s hard!!

We LOVE tax refunds! Hope the nail appointment was fun!! I bet they look so cute! And I love when you dive into your ideas! If you’re passionate or if it feels right I feel like you should always go for it!! Also idk why I read it pookie EVERYTIME😭 I guess in my head it will always be that lol

I honestly don’t write reviews unless they are SOOO BAD!! Like I got to warn the people!!! Or if I really love them and there’s only been like 5 lol

And not the voodoo doll BAHAHA and thx for the kind words as always 😭💕

Omg ngl Liam is a good like “filler” name since I think it’s easy and like it doesn’t have too much a negative association unlike a Jake or Chad lol

Sometimes I WISH I you could just see my live reactions to your stories! Like they usually never make sense since they are typically gasps,screaming and/or crying lol and omg Sam you don’t even know the WEEK I’ve had and it’s not even over 😭 but despite life I WILL be reading your fics!!-💜

Everyone is really worried I won't take all my antibiotics. I hope I don't give off anti-modern medicine vibes 😭 I would NEVER not do what the doctor said. I get what you mean, I too am worried about antibiotic resistance. I literally was googling how do you make penicillin at home because I was like "if I ever DIDN'T have antibiotics I wouldn't make it" I seriously thought my head was going to explode😂 And yes, I had to go to his game. I love him too much for my own good hahaha he is VERY appreciative. He's a really good kid. I'd want one just like him if I could hand pick a teenager for myself.

I def gave myself a chill week. Maybe even too chill (although I did clean and got the pedicure!) Tbh the pedicure didn't come out as good as I hoped it would--the color and stuff looks fine. I feel like my cuticles could have been better but what are you going to do lol It's not like me an empathetic, people pleaser was going to say I disliked it 😂

I LOVE my coworker she's the BEST. We jive so well together and the kids love us (in my humble opinion). Honestly, I know I'm not mean, you're right it's def in my head. It's probs how my mom would feel when I was like "I want a 10th cookie" and she said no and felt like the worst mom in the world, you know? 😂

I really should heed that advice and just let some of these relationships fizzle. It was nice to see my friend. I think as introverted as I am, I do enjoy the company of my people but I also think I cling a bit to the past and miss the comfort of who they were for me when they were IN my life. Does that make sense? Like my friends from high school and college were SO important to me when we were in school and I miss the feeling of that. (Okay, Sam, that's called nostalgia 🤦🏻‍♀️) anyway. I feel like I hold those connections where some of my other friends didn't and that kinda makes me sad. I told you I have this weird fear of being forgotten (granted I'm the 1D friend and the potato friend so most everyone checks on me everything 1d related and sends me potato recipes when they see it lol).

WARN THE PEOPLE

I think Liam is one of my favorite names. JAKE OR CHAD. Chad is bad I am partial to Jake (long live my 3rd grade crush). But I get it, it's a tough name for some heheheh

I'm so sorry to hear your week was not good :( I hope the weekend has a better outlook. I adore you and appreciate you reading when you're going through it :( I wish I could see your live reactions too 😂 I would just love to give you a hug too 💕

0917 it's like everything gets more interesting when i'm not there... if you don't like me just say it

also i think altoids wallets are very neat i want one too but i have no idea what to even use it for bcuz my normal wallet holds up just fine. maybe i'll find old containers and tins to turn into little character shrines

1118 i love dti!!!! the concept of dress up games has always fascinated me so much and it's really fun to make different stuff on there :p at runway queen right now n i really want vip to make my stuff much better. i can buy the robux if i wanted to but i still have problems with the online cash app and stuff sooo not now

1522 got milktea!!!!! saved this boring ahh day tbh it's so good it's just the regular one we get from nearby but it's sooooo!!!!!! i think the one i got today was just a bit too sweet for my liking but i think that's just a temporary thing who knows

1858 absolutely hate loud environments (˃̣̣̥ᯅ˂̣̣̥) i am NOT a fan. everything is just too noisy and messy and euerghhhh can't there just be like one sound or two not 12 different stuff going on around me like just being around groups of people is such a bother so i always keep earphones with me to atleast try drowning out the sound

2231 going through drawing bootcamp these past few days ( -_•)╦̵̵̿╤─ like it's not necessarily practice everyday more like. fun drawing then practice!!!!!! aaaahhh!!!!!!!!!!! but anyways i drew some oc stuff earlier and briefly tried figure drawing right after which sucked absolute ASS. i feel coerced into doing box drawing bootcamp now so i can idk. draw the body or something i don't understand how people do that but a lot of youtubers explain it really oddly and i can't catch on as easily so that's not fun. maybe it's just because it's getting late and i'm not geared well enough to process visual information so tmrw i'll maybe!!!!! do something i think

How did that relationship with a mutual end?

okay sooo SUPER sorry if they end up finding this (they wont but still) and also im sure they NEVER think about it anymore but like i said this is tragically the only relationship i was in and i was SUPER in love lol

idk how much of this i shared before but im just gonna be super honest about it even if it makes me sound really bad but i was like... 21 at the time? lol

but here's the drama (be careful, it gets a little triggery with like. consent and stuff)

So I fell fast and hard in love, right. High school and college were SUPER rough for me so I think I was just glad to get attention from ANYONE even if it wasnt gonna be a perfect fit???

distance is never easy. from the getgo we lived like 5? hours away from each other and i was the only one driving (way too often) to go see them. i went like every weekend even though i had classes and homework and exams and stuff. My friends were telling me I was so dumb and I was like nooooo it's fine

ALSO okay so they were like in the middle of recovering from a major eating disorder and my friends were also like "hey this is like a bad time for you both to be doing a relationship then?" and i was like NAHHHHHH but also they were super private about it and it like never came up AT ALL and so

their dad made them move home like a month into our relationship so they could continue their recovery (totally fine and normal move right??) but i was like THE INJUSTICE OF IT ALL and so i used a credit card to buy them a flight back over to spend a weekend with me ooooof

even then like there were some issues like it was the first time my friends met them and they were all "nah this sucks" and they were like super disrespectful to my friends and i just laughed it off

this is also the first time consent issues came into play like we LOVED making out lolllll but tbh it was all i was even interested in bc the medication ive been on my whole life kills my libido (this is WAY TMI IM SO SORRY) BUT we were messing around and they decided to give me a huge visible hickey in a place i had sAID i was totally uncool with

but it was totally fine right? because i loved them lollllllll

things were already also kind of weird here bc i was like "uh i think im a boy actually would u still love me" and they were like "i think im a girl actually but also a lesbian" and then we jUST KEPT MAKING OUT????

also they like... made me introduce them to my family??? when i was totally not ready for that and while we both IDed as nonbinary we definitely came across as a lesbian couple which i was NOT prepared to deal with my family about

i introduced them as a friend but they were super touchy and clingy and possessive and my mom was like 'oh so you're dating' and it was actually the worst most embarrassing thing ever

okay i know this is getting long but anyway they went back home again and heres where it gets REALLY spicy

im planning to present at this conference with my mom in another city and it's kind of a huge deal for us. i get a call from [ex] that their dad is going to [I don't remember the word for it but it's when you can legally send someone to a psych hospital against their will because it's for their own good] and MY DUMB ASS was like IT'S OKAY IM GOING TO BUY ANOTHER FLIGHT TO GET YOU OUT OF THE STATE AND COME HERE TO MY CONFERENCE

so lol that happened

we got a hotel that night! uhhhhhhh more MAJOR CONSENT ISSUES and tbh we're both at fault because i could have done a MUCH better job communicating what i was feeling but yeah basically Trauma happened to me

OKAY HERES THE KICKER. I THEN DRIVE THEM SIX HOURS TO ANOTHER CITY to fly out bc that's where they wanted to fly out from????

we said our 'i love you's and 'bye's

they called me THAT NIGHT and said 'hey lets take a break' and i NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN LMAOOOO

like was that probably the best thing for both of us YEAH but BOY i cried for days and i knew it was because of the sex lolllllll ANYWAY SO THERES THAT STORY

[mellow-worlds]

Honestly I could do it right now. I just don't want to kms before I meet my friends again because that would really suck for them. Imagine I survive and they then learn I wanted to kms before meeting them LMAO. I couldn't do that. I guess I'll do it after all of them literally leave the country. yay. I hope no one feels too bad because of it. It'll be alright, they'll get over it. Gosh I hope I die.

Still I somehow can't shake the feeling... maybe surviving would be nice? Getting a lot of attention? I mean I wouldn't want that from my family, I'd hate that, tbh. SO much. SOOO much. But I'd like it if some people I know knew I survived a suicide attempt... the happy girl. the one that always smiled and laughed a lot. She tried to kill herself.... I also like the idea of people thinking that when I die, but then I wouldn't get to feel that. I want to experience it. Not pity, but I want... people to think about me? I want... I want... I want people... I want them to uh idk... what do I want? I want them to be sad for a little while and then forget. I don't want anyone to feel responsible, there's nothing anyone could've done. I just feel like this and somehow have for a long time. it's ok though. I want this. I don't want people to make too big of a deal out of it. They shouldn't have to talk about it too much. They shouldn't really directly address it. I mean, they're going to talk about it, but I don't want to be every conversation's topic, that'd be stupid. How do I want people to feel about it? I think I'd like them to feel bad for me. I want them to think about how I always was so happy. The happy one. The one who always smiled and laughed a lot. I want them to wonder. I mean, probably, some of them will feel some sort of guilt. I guess a little is ok, as long as they don't start feeling too guilty. Like I said, this is nobody's fault. Gosh I'm so glad I can finally say that I'll kill myself :D

Maybe I don't have to kill myself. Do I just want attention? I didn't even think about that half an hour ago, why am I thinking about that now? It's a nice plus? Omg I'm so desperate. So mean. So pathetic. I like to hurt people, don't I? Do I? Hhhh. I just want to be loved. But to be honest, would anybody be able to express love for me in such a way that I believed them? In such a way that I could feel satiated? Hmm... I don't think so. See, all of this is my fault.

What if I told someone I wanted to kill myself? Would they believe me? What kind of attention would that bring me? Would I want that kind of attention? They probably wouldn't believe me. Maybe I should go to a psychiatric hospital? Maybe that would... bring me attention...... I'm so embarrassed to say that. But... idkkkk is it what I want? is it? I kind of do love silent attention so much. The sort where I know that people are thinking about me a lot and that I come up in conversations behind my back but I don't really have to deal with it directly. I'm such an asshole... Would my friends miss me? Would they? Would anyone? I mean... I know everyone would be better off without me, so ig in the long run they won't miss me. Do I want them to miss me? Honestly, at this point, I don't know. Guess I'll never find out.

Do I really hate life that much? I don't. I just hate myself. I hate myself. I'm sorry anybody had to witness my existence. Even my mother. Especially my siblings. Especially my friends. My dad :(

But I'll die :)

[jakowskis]

im SO pissed i didnt listen to believe for a fucking year bc i heard bad things about it. im never listening to anyone else's opinions again cuz THAT WAS BRILLIANT. THAT WAS EVERYTHING I WANT OUT OF TORCHWOOD i mean it was still a bit shit highkey but it was EXACTLY what i want out of this garbage show. sooo fucking season one core (aka my fav) all sorts of dark horrific connotations and unhealthy dynamics but no emotional weight or responsibility xD once again i cannot tell if the writer was even fucking AWARE of a lot of the things he was implying but what i interpreted as being implied is making me fucking tear up the floorboards im. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

that was so cynical and bitter and awful and miserable and edgy and shitty ITS EVERYTHING I WANTED. i love torchwood being goofy i do but what draws me into the show and the reason it's become one of my most, uh, aggressive hyperfixations ever (which is ridic btw) is cuz its FUCKED UP AND UNHAPPY and that? was fuuuuucked. obsessed.

cult leader jack cult leader jack cult leader jack U DONT UNDERSTAND IT MAKES ME RABID and they ran with it i. stick figure violence stick figure violence. feeling rabid. AND HIS FUCKING SPEECH AT THE END. DOES HE KNOW??? hes so fucking deluded I LOVE IT. ITS FASCINATING he thinks hes good.... he thinks hes good... hes aware n he feels responsible and yet he doesnt SEE he doesnt see he thinks hes doing his best. NOOO it had the be intentional literally "jack tell us what that was about" "later lol" "sure yeah always later" and then hes like "YOU HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY" GRRR JACK. JACK. also faith n believing.... ianto's trust. ianto's trust. you believe me like a god FUCK MY LIFEEEEEEEEEEE

jack always being five steps ahead + being 10x more competent than the team always makes me fucking roll my eyes but at this point i just kind of perceive it as the way tw constantly paints him as a deity figure. he can do no wrong

GWENS CYNICISM. TORCHWOOD BREAKING HER. TORCHWOOD BREAKING HER!!!!!!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK it's toxic... it's toxic... this job gets inside you THIS JOB GETS INSIDE YOUUU. torchwood thesis statement: this job fucking breaks you.

FINALLY some good fucking tosh x owen food. DONT GET ME WRONG THAT WAS FUCKING AWFUL but that was sooooooo much more compelling than the fucking bullshit that canon gave us. owen being a toxic abusive fucking manchild + doing smth bad enough to tosh that she FINALLY went "wow THATS the man im obsessing over" like g-d i would've killedddd for that to happen in the show i HATE that she wasted herself on him. i hate it. her disgust and anger at him was so THERAPEUTIC for me 😭 idk what it says about me that the way i was grinning when they were arguing n bitching at each other was probs the closest ive ever gotten to actually shipping them HFKJDSF theres smth wrong w me. i just think s2 tosh is too fucking sweet and good and probably naive and i think owen could so easily fuck her up, like i don't think there's a world where he wouldn't hurt her tbh, and i don't want that to happen i adore her too much. like i don't think he's irredeemable, i ship him w other characters who i think could handle him, but i don't think tosh could, and that was validation of that opinion, you know? i'd be more willing to ship them if tosh was firm with him and didn't let him walk all over her, and it sucks that she didn't do that and got herself hurt and THATS what it took to make her call him tf out and tell him how much he sucks. ig a lot of why towen bugs me sm boils down to the fact that im not comfortable shipping someone who's kind of awful with someone who idealizes them and doesn't seem to grasp the scale of how bad they are. that's a recipe for an unhealthy dynamic and if i didn't like tosh i might be intrigued by it ngl HFSKDF but thats my babygirl and the idea of putting her thru Being With Him disgusts me. she deserves better until he gets his fucking shit together. which he never does and she never gets to have something good bc she was waiting for his shitty ass lmao YAYY!!

owen was AWFUL in that btw. and i adored him in it. my fav owen is an owen who's spiraling and destructively fixated on something for selfish purposes to the point that he doesnt care who he hurts to accomplish it. he's so villain coded fhsdkfjdsk he redeems himself in the show and i love that but the audios further explore the fact that he's got such a darkness to him he SO EASILY can be pushed into destroying everything. hes constantly on the precipice of monstrosity and cruelty bc of his own hurt. it's like hes so full of rot it leaks out of him and infects others and he hates it but he cant help it. i will never get over the doctor with poison fingers oh he makes my heart ache. he's just so misguided. he's so broken.

which brings us back to jack's speech. (him talking to the cult leader lady) "They were broken, and you were the person they turned to for help. If you don’t accept their problems, then don’t offer yourself as a solution." literally im gonna think about this for months. HE DOESNT SEE!!!!!!!!!

g-d and ianto's orientation or whatever. that was Fantastic ianto insight. he's so much more interesting when he's away from jack it's almost impressive.

i am just. gdddddddddddddddddddddddd. i am so distraught. help meeee

[apopcornkernel]

tbh I'm still very much a believer in scaramouche's assessment of her, let me just pull out the quote for reference

“A wolf in sheep's clothing. To exert a higher level of control over people, she puts on a graceful and cordial front. Most of those who have seen her true, crazy self... have gone poof.” [Wanderer: About The Knave]

don't have much to contribute regarding her motive but I'm really interested in how she treats the children, based on lyney & lynette's pov and scaramouche's pov i have in my head this arlecchino who adopts a sort of kind persona to people, who positions herself as a sort of savior to the orphans so that they feel indebted to her for life, and she's caring in that she provides for them and keeps them fed and clothed

but i like to think even that is a little bit conditional. like, if you do better in training you might get to eat first == if you suck at it you get to the table last and there might be nothing left for you

i'm just enamored with arlecchino being so so nice but at the same time it feels wrong. her smile feels pasted on. no one has ever seen her angry. no one alive, that is.

OH and as for the orphans tight bonds with each other. well, the line quite interestingly says with each other, not with arlecchino 👁️ taking into account how i perceive arlecchino, i feel like the children definitely pick up on this hidden implied menace beneath her stoic kindness. there's just something wrong that makes them afraid to step out of line, so they band together even more closely in fear,,,, bonded by trauma ✨

and the "create more orphans for the hearth" ohhh my god . yeah that line also made my mind run wild bc the cruelty of it is sooo delicious. it makes me think that some of the orphans in the hearth must be orphans bc of arlecchino... imagine after they fuck shit up in another natjon they take home the children left parentless and raise them to be sleeper agents for the hearth instead goddddd that is so so evil if that's the case, i love her

also I really want people to talk more about the house of the hearth and arlecchino. like, what even is arlecchino’s goal in running an institution that takes in orphans to be trained as weapons? like ok, they’re some kind of military school/house that feeds into the fatui pipeline, but how does arlecchino feel about this entire business/how does she rationalize it (give us some fucked up reasoning please <3). lyudochka/gendou ringo said she studied inazuman affairs because she has inazuman heritage—do they just sort people into tracks based on some kind of ethnic ancestry calculation??? their supervisor wanted to cause chaos/war between watatsumi and inazuma AGAIN, partially so that the fatui could take advantage of the situation, but also because that would create more orphans to feed into the house of the hearth. so it’s definitely fucked up, but all the orphans there seem to have incredibly tight bonds with each other (besides that the tsaritsa always comes first) so. what is arlecchino’s motivation to run this thing. how does she feel about rescuing orphans and giving them a place to eat sleep and live but at the same time training them with utmost loyalty to country and state. like even in a winter night’s lazzo she mentions not wanting to “make the children cry”………….. does she mean the house of the hearth? does she care about these kids????? like genshin pls lay out the thought process to me no matter how fucked up it may be I will take it all

[oodlyenough]

What did you think of TLOU ep5 and the changes to the game? I honestly thought they did things better in the show.

Honestly same, I really liked it. This segment of the game is fun to play but much of the story would be lacking on screen without that gameplay, and the action would've felt/looked too unrealistic on tv I think... like, Joel and co escaping a gazillion-strong army and infinite infected lol.

This got really long so it's under a cut. At the end I talk a bit about tlou2 spoilers although it's marked:

I thought Sam and Henry were great and I liked the changes that were made there, although I have to admit I'd actually forgotten the finer details of their story, eg I had forgotten there was more tension between Henry and Sam in the game. I don't mind them replacing it. I also thought Sam being Deaf and the use of ASL brought an interesting element to their story that wasn't in the game. I thought Sam and Ellie's bonding was adorable. Also... henry... 👀

In my ep 4 post I was worried maybe they'd make Henry somehow "deserving" of his fate, vs game Henry being an innocent. And I suppose they kind of did make him guilty... but it was an extremely sympathetic reason VS Kathleen being utterly unreasonable (more on that below) so I was fine with it in the end.

I gotta say even though I knew it was likely Sam and Henry would have the same fate as their game counterparts, Ellie's "my blood is medicine" got me fhklghldfkg I was like well that makes no sense but I'll allow it" bc I wanted poor Sam to be ok :( Ellie sis I feel u.

My #unpopular opinion, I think, is that I don't really like the angle the show is taking of "the infected are still themselves inside". I guess it's meant to be part of the body horror and stuff. Maybe I'm just being a game purist. It just seems a bit goofy to me and I can't really embrace it lol. Reminds me of the James portions of TWDG s4 which I fucking hated.

The action sequence at the end was incredible imo, felt simultaneously very game-like (Leo pointing meme @ the sniper) while improving adapting the source material well. The infected surging out of the ground, the Bloater, etc, were all really well done I thought. Also the child clicker omg hats off to the baby gymnast bc her movements were creepy as shit.

Joel nailing every shot made me laugh a bit because I fucking suck as the sniper LOL I always get everyone killed sooo many times.

Probably the most contentious bit of the episode is Kathleen. I think she served her purpose well enough -- I've seen plenty of complaints that she wasn't compelling, or that she was too cartoonishly evil, and then I think about how in the game, Philly is just run by an-entirely-men-only military armed force who hunts down Joel+Ellie and every other "tourist" with completely unjustified determination because... uh.... because ? (I get they kill tourists for resources. Surely Joel, Ellie, Henry and Sam are not worth the resources expended to track them down across the fuckin' city lmao. It only works because video game.) So obviously the show had to do SOMETHING else

Anyway, I think Kathleen mostly worked. I don't think she was sympathetic at all but I don't think she needed to be -- whatever sympathy you might briefly feel about her brother is pretty quickly extinguished by her saying she knows he'd want forgiveness but she doesn't give a shit, and then again later by her being like "lmao fuck them kids". I also thought casting Melanie Lynskey to use her softest soccer mom voice while saying heinous shit was great... I feel like the "well she's not threatening" stuff is totally off base lmao I don't know how anyone could draw that conclusion tbh. Are entitled """""nice"""" white women leading a lynch mob not terrifying...??

TLOU2 discussion/spoilers:

Obviously the natural comparison here is Kathleen and Ellie and/or Abby. I think her story hits a lot of those similar notes -- she's blinded by her revenge to her own destruction and the destruction of those around her, etc. So I understand where people are drawing those connections. I don't think it's really, like, fair/accurate to Ellie or Abby to say that Kathleen is exactly the same. I don't even think it's a case of "well if we spent time in Kathleen's shoes we'd understand", a la what TLOU2 did/wanted to do with Abby. Neither Abby nor Ellie mobilize and jeopardize their entire community to exact their revenge -- the former Fireflies come by choice, and so do Dina/Tommy/Jesse. Clearly the collateral damage of their revenge is a huge part of the game, but Ellie and Abby also don't have any "Fuck them kids" scenes where they expressly want to murder children as a punishment for their guardian's sins, lmao. The closest you get is Ellie threatening Lev, which is the bottom of the barrel low point for her character and then she turns it around in the end.

So... I don't know. I mean yes obviously Kathleen serves as a bit of foreshadowing or a "parallel" or whatever, but I do think it's inaccurate to pretend it's hypocritical to judge Kathleen but like Abby or Ellie lol.

My final general thought/slight criticism is that the show isn't especially subtle. I've become a bit more sympathetic to television's lack of subtlety over the years as it has uhhh become clearer to me how much an audience will just straight up miss stuff, lmao, and I think part of the stuff that feels un-subtle feels that way to me as someone who already knows the story intimately and perhaps doesn't read that way to a first time viewer.

For the Past Four Years

You and Colson have been friends forever, but when you start getting lessons from a certain drummer, he gets a bit jealous.

Request: Sooo I was just wondering if a jealous!coulson whose your friend would be something you’d like to write? Maybe y/n and yungblud or rook or someone is getting a little too friendly and it makes him angry either fluff or smut would work tbh

Colson x Reader

Warnings: Cursing

A/N I am so sorry this took so long! This is the one I was talking about when I said I got to the end and wasn’t feeling it so I rewrote it.

Word Count: 2019

You hated being the only one in the crew who couldn’t go on tour. The travel interfered with your job too much, so you were left alone for months out of the year. But that made it all the better when you could join the tour. You were grateful for the two weeks off you were given while Colson was on the Hotel Diablo tour.

You flew out to their show in Phoenix and planned to stay on the tour bus with them until they got back to LA. The boys were ecstatic to have you around, having known you for almost 4 years. Colson was probably the most excited to see you again, seeing as he had known you the longest.

You were in the green room for the fifth show since you’d join the tour, the energy through the roof. Colson was busy talking with Ashleigh about the show, so you found entertainment in Rook, who was currently tapping away on his practice kit. “Ok, guess this one.”

You were currently trying to figure out what songs he was playing, and you were doing pretty good. He started playing the intro to “You Could Be Mine” by Guns N’ Roses, and you couldn’t help but roll your eyes. ”Really? It’s like you’re trying to make this easy for me.”

“It’s not my fault you know literally every song ever made.”

“Yeah, but Guns N’ Roses? Obviously, I’m gonna know it.” You smirked and he squinted at you.

“Fine. You’re so good, why don’t you play something and make me guess.” He held out his drumsticks for you to take.

You pouted, “Rookie you know I don’t know how to play drums.”

“I can teach you.” He offered, making your eyes light up.

“Wait, actually?” He nodded, standing up and grabbing another stool.

“C’mere.” He led you around the kit and sat you down, sitting on the stool behind you. He put the drumsticks in your palms and then moved to hold the outside of your hand. “We’ll start with the basics.”

When Colson came back into the room, he saw you and Rook laughing. You were looking back at Rook as his hands were wrapped around yours, a smile on your face. He couldn’t help his heart sinking, and he tried his best to maintain his composure. Luckily, he only had to endure a few more minutes of you guys obviously flirting before everyone had to move to side stage.

You noticed Colson slumped on one of the couches across the room and you sent him a smile. “Rook is teaching me how to play.” You mouthed to him, and he nodded sarcastically.

“Good for you.” He mouthed back, obviously uninterested and upset about something. You raised your eyebrow and tilted your head, silently asking what was wrong. He just shook his head.

“Alright guys, backstage.” Ashleigh announced, and all the boys jumped up.

Rook stood up and you followed, handing him his drumsticks. “We shall continue this later, young grasshopper.” He joked, bowing dramatically. You rolled your eyes and pushed him towards the door of the green room.

“Don’t suck too much.” You smiled, and he turned back to stick his tongue out at you. Colson watched the interaction and it looked like steam would start blowing out of his ears. You bounded over to where he had just stood up. “Good luck hug?” You asked sweetly, a tradition you had started the first time you went backstage before a show.

Instead of answering, he walked right past you, leaving the room. You stared after him, confusion present on your face. You wanted to talk to him about it, but decided it was best to leave it for after the show.

 Colson seemed to be in a better mood on stage and after the show, insisting on partying on the bus. You had no complaints; you loved the endless party that was touring with MGK. Once you got on the bus, however, his mood seemed to drop all over again. You didn’t really notice it at first, a bit distracted by the loud music and the other guys. You loved spending time with them, they were as much your family as Colson. But your good time was spoiled by Colson sitting on one of the couches scrolling through his phone with a drink in his hand.

You didn’t want to have fun without him, he was your best friend, after all. So, you walked over to him, reaching your hand out. “Come dance with me.” You smiled, which he did not return.

In fact, he barely looked at you, just took a sip of his drink and said, “why don’t you go dance with Rook since you like him so much.”

You were taken aback by his comment. “Umm, what?”

“You heard me. If you like Rook so much why don’t you go dance with him? Why don’t you just sleep with him while you’re at it?”

You took a step back, offended. “I don’t know what your problem is right now, but either talk to me like a grown up or get over it.”

Colson sighed, standing up and grabbing your hand to drag you to the back of the bus, away from the crowd. He opened the door that separated the bunks from the rest of the bus, leading you in and closing it behind you. You waited for an explanation from him, but he just stood there, glaring at you.

“Okay, what the fuck is your problem, Colson? I’ve been here for all of a week so I don’t exactly know what I could’ve done.” You tried to keep your voice quiet, but your tone was still sharp.

Colson’s tone stung just as bad. “Oh right, because you haven’t been flirting with Rook ever since you got here. I mean seriously could you make it any more obvious?”

You raised an eyebrow, “Okay, one, I’m not fucking flirting with anyone, much less Rook. Two, even if I was flirting with him, or anyone for that matter, it’s none of your fucking business.” Colson had a habit of doing this; anytime you started talking to a guy, or even just dancing with one at a club, he made sure it stopped immediately and you were fed up with it.

“It is my business. He’s my bandmate and you’re my best friend. If you two hook up or do anything, guess who’s caught in the middle? Me.”

You scoffed, rolling your eyes. “Yeah, and I suppose that’s why you’ve run off every other guy I’ve tried to do anything with?”

He stepped towards you, eyes getting darker. “So you were trying to get with Rook?”

“Oh my god Colson, no!” You let out an exasperated groan, “I’m just saying you have a pattern of getting in between me and literally any member of the male species. Rook and I are just friends, you know that. And I would never put you in a situation like that.”

He stepped closer to you, standing over you now. "Maybe I just don’t think they’re good enough for you.” His voice got quieter, but you weren’t backing down.

“You’re supposed to think that. That’s what friends are for. But that doesn’t mean you get to get in the way of every potential relationship I have.”

“Stop saying that fucking word.” His voice got deeper, darker.

You furrowed your brows, confused and a bit nervous at his tone. “What word.” Your voice came out quieter than you expected it to.

Colson sighed and hung his head, backing away from you, “forget it.”

He turned so his back was facing you, running a hand through his hair. You watched him carefully, studying him. “What word, Colson?” You pushed him.

He rubbed his face with his hands, letting out another heavy sigh. “Did you ever stop to think about why I didn’t want you to get anywhere with those guys?” Your heart seemed to stop beating for a second, and your shoulders fell slightly.

“N-no.” You stuttered, walking towards the man, who was still turned away from you. “Colson, I’m really confused right now.” Your voice was soft. You reached out to touch his arm, but he spun around before you could.

His hand reached out to tilt your jaw up, so you were looking into his eyes. You expected him to be angry, but there was something else instead. His face was really close to yours, enough that you could feel his breath on your nose when he spoke. “There’s a reason I don’t want you to flirt with Rook, or with any other guy for that matter.” You had a feeling you knew where this was going, and you took a sharp breath as your heart fluttered.

“Colson-“ You started, but he cut you off.

“Just let me finish, please. I have to say this or I’m gonna lose my fucking mind.” You stayed silent, your eyes begging him to continue. “I don’t want you to be with anyone else. Fuck, Y/N, it hurts like hell to see you flirting with other people because I want you to be flirting with me.”

You smile, trying not to giggle. “And I realized when I left for tour that I’m kind of really in love with you.”

You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling his lips onto yours. His hands wrapped around your waist as his lips moved against yours. When you pulled away, he placed his forehead against yours, eyes closed. “I’ve kind of been flirting with you for the past 4 years, loser.”

His eyes flew open, head moving away from yours. “What?”

You laughed, rolling your eyes. “Yeah, I’ve kind of been really in love with you for a long time.” You mimicked his earlier words. “You never said anything about it so I just assumed you didn’t feel the same way.”

He let out a breath through his nose, “God I’m so dumb.” You giggled, shaking your head and pressing your lips against his.

“You are not, you’re just a little oblivious.” He rolled his eyes, pulling your hips closer to him and kissing you again, longer this time. He started leading you backwards, so your back pressed against the wall of bunks lightly. One of your hands moved to rest on his cheek and the other played with the hair at the base of his neck.

The kiss deepened, his tongue swiping against your lips. You granted him entrance, his tongue slowly exploring your mouth. His hands began to move down your waist. They were about to reach your butt when the door opened and Dre walked in. “Oh shit,” He paused, looking between you two and slowly smiling. “About time you fuckers got it on.”

You buried your head into Colson’s chest, a blush on your face. “Duuuude.” Colson groaned, his head falling backwards. “Get out.”

Dre chuckled, hands in surrender. “In my defense, you guys are the one making out in a tour bus full of people in the bunk room.”

If looks could kill, Dre would have been murdered by Colson by now. “Okay, I’m leaving. But just know I’m telling everyone about this.” He smiled, quickly leaving, and closing the door behind him before Colson could hurt him.

You laughed, pulling the man back to you and connecting your lips to his, a smile on your face. “I’m gonna kill him.” Colson mumbled against your lips.

You rolled your eyes, “As hot as that would be, society generally frowns upon killing your friends.” He chuckled and pressed another kiss to your lips, his hands reaching up to cup your face.

“Wait, would you still like me if I was a murderer?”

You giggled, “Depends on who you kill, but probably.”

He pecked your lips, “What if I killed Rook?” You glared at him, and he smiled. “What? I’m just asking in case it happens.”

“You’re not allowed to kill your band members.”

“So if I kicked him out of the band and then killed him, it would be okay?”

“Colson Baker!”

“Kidding!”
