#that kid is a raging bi if i ever did see one!!!!

[eddiewithcat]

people referring to charles as edwin's "straight bff" oh my god charles please gET BEHIND ME NOW!!

are you closing your eyes whenever charles is the first to initiate touch between them? plugging your ears whenever this kid wax poetic about his best friend to anyone who will listen?

did you see the scene where he tried to befriend monty, got shut down, and then turned and looked back as him and edwin had a conversation with that look on his face? (and yet never has any issue whenever niko talks / hangs out with him btw!!!)

or maybe, how about, when edwin brought up the cat king and charles said something like, "we're still getting out of here, the goal is to go home" or whatever he says (something along those lines ok!)

like this isn't even including the entire attic scene, or him risking his life for him to save him from Hell

(...and the fact he said "we have literally forever, to figure out what the rest means" iDK GUYS THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A REJECTION TO ME!!!!)

this also not including the comics which BTW he was said to be very bi-coded so..!!!

never use that word associated with my son ever again!!!

[multi-fandom-lunatic]

its time. KAM HEADCANONS

Keefe and tam totally started dating but like. no one knew. they thought that they were best friends or already dating (linh is the only who falls into the latter)

Keefe tries to mess with tams hair. he's in awe about it. like, what does that mf put in it. and why's it so stiff-

They totally wear each other's iconic colours. keefe wears silver jewelley, belts, accessories even if it doesnt fully suit him, and tam just has ice blue stuff on him. im talking. pins and badges, stickers and a pair of earrings.

Keefe is such a swiftie. not up for debate. he just is.

Keefe is bi, and i mean the most useless bisexual ever. he finger guns at everyone. he makes bi jokes. he has frog EVERYTHING. everyone is his type and he is everyones type,

tam is gay and ace. he's totally cool with keefe's flirty/dirty jokes because tam knows and consents to them.

They are the most. physically affectionate people ever. especially keefe with tam. im thinking. the classic boyfriend hug (i like to call it the partner hug), squeezing tam way too tight hugs, lifting tam up hugs. as well as kisses everywhere. like you could map out where keefe has kissed tam and its a whole adventure.

keefe and tam totally have a matching sweater and pj set. its something totally obnoxious and they love it.

THEY. HAVE. HAIRCARE. NIGHTS. these two shits totally exchange hair products and keefe is like "what even is this" and tam is all "this would take like give hours" "beauty takes time." "and money i see"

as for surnames, i cant imagine them taking their parents. especially tam. if at all, they'd both have sencen. but i feel they'd come up with their own surnames. maybe "sensong" or even "samsung" without knowing about the brand (sophie makes fun of them)

sophie was the first to accept them. shes been around humans and understands how hard coming out is because of her highschool classmates (there was 100% gay kids in her class). the rest of them are confused and are like "whats gay" but they support their friend (and learn a bit about them too.........)

sophie 100% takes them both to the forbidden cities after they come out. to buy pride pins. keefe is absolutely enamoured by them and tam is more worried about the environment.

on this fateful trip, keefe learns about different human aesthetics. and it becomes his everything. one day a vsco girl. one day emo. one day barbiecore.

keefe uses the word coquette frequently without knowing what it means. like hed just point and say "thats coquette" and its a crushed soda can.

tam eventually tells him about coquette. does not stop keefe.

tam and keefe are not picky eaters. these two mfs will guzzle anything down

but sophie and fitz are, so when they visit, they just eat mallowmelt. just. mallowment.

kam, fedex, linhella and jenstina. sosingle and marusingle.

cassius didnt know about kam until their wedding day. and boy that was DRAMA

when kam wanted to get married, they went to the council, half of whom freaked out and half of whom applauded. it was a lot of battle, but eventually, a year later, the definition of marriage was changed in the law.

so obviously these two made headlines for being like. the first gay marriage in the lost cities. and lo and behold, cassius finds out.

hes so against it, but he doesnt show it to people in public. ofc, keefe got an angry imparter call from him that he laughed off.

quan however. oh dude was raging. he tried to call tam but BLOCKED.

then fedex and linhella got married and everyone was wth. did the human kid just bring the gay with her?? and not be gay herself??

anywho, on the topic of marriage. keefe totally proposed.

keefe was sick of waiting for tam to propose and caved and bought a ring. it was silver with a blue stone in it in the shape of a kite.

keefe brought tam to a cliff and proposed to him there (saying that if tam said no, its alright bcuz he could jump off)

tam was competely pink and told keefe to "shut the fuck up" and pulled out a ring. BECAUSE TAM WAS PLANNING TO PROPOSE (at a later date)

okay im sucked dry of HCs. lmk if yall have any

[nerd-party]

I'm not v picky but oakson has been on my mind lately :3

OAKSON THE BOYS EVER

(this is pre-doodler)

Henry has had a rough week.

First, the museum is closed for repairs, so he can't even go to check out his favourite rocks. Then, Mercedes is sick and spending some time in hospital, and it's out of visiting hours so he can't go see her. The final straw is when Lark (or maybe Sparrow) kicks a ball in the house and shatters their brand-new glass table. Henry storms out of the house in a rage, determined not to take it out on the kids, and his wandering feet eventually leads him to- the soccer pitch?

Kids run about in multicoloured bibs on the field, passing back and forth to each other as Henry buys one ticket to watch the game and goes to sit in his seat. He ends up near the corner, watching the flag flutter in the breeze, and before he knows it some guy is sitting next to him. He's about to move over to give him some more space when he spots who it is.

Coach Darryl Wilson. Friendly face, really hot, fellow PTA member, really hot, super funny, did he mention really hot?

Henry blushes and moves up a bit, trying to remember how to speak a coherent sentence. He recalls every plot and scheme he and Mercedes hatched to try and get this guy into their bed (with his consent, obviously) and yet here he is, sitting right next to the man himself.

'Are ya gonna answer me?' Darryl drawls, quizzically amused look on his face. Henry realises he must have said something, and mentally kicks himself for not paying attention.

'Sorry, I didn't hear you. Say it again?'

'I said, which one's yours?' Now Darryl looks a little suspicious. Fuck! Not how he wanted this to go- with Darryl thinking he's some kind of creep.

'Oh!' He decides on the truth. 'None of these ones. My kids were just driving me up the wall, y'know. They're on the team, just- suspended, for now. Lark and Sparrow?' Clearly the names ring a bell, because Darryl's eyes clear instantly.

'The fighters?' Henry nods, smile breaking out across his face. 'How could I not get it? They look just like ya!' He laughs, a deep rumbly thing, bassy in his chest. Henry wants to catch it, trap it in a jar and put it on a shelf.

'Yeah, I get that sometimes.' Henry chuckles along.

'They got your hair, I see. But yours is so long...' Darryl reaches out to brush it away from his face absently, not noticing Henry's flaming cheeks. But then, Darryl is standing before Henry can respond to that, blowing the whistle and shouting at someone called Ron to get off the corner flags.

'Aw shoot, man, I'm sorry. I'll see you around sometime?' He runs a hand through his hair and glances down at Henry. 'Darryl Wilson, nice to meet ya.' And he sticks out his hand for a handshake.

Henry completes the handshake and then Darryl is gone, leaving Henry flustered, unable to speak, and in the midst of a bi-panic.

He giggles to himself all the way home.

[running-with-the-feels]

Give us more of the Lin Kuei Satoshi AU, go crazy with it

ohohoohohooho thank you my friend

I think the bit that's stuck in my head rn is his relationship with Kuai Liang. Like Satoshi and Hanzo's relationship makes sense and i relatively simple (Satoshi: I love you but I think you betrayed and replaced me so I'm gonna hurt you to make myself feel better. Hanzo: I'm so glad you are alive, if you have to kill me I won't fight you, I just want to know that you are well) But with Kuai Liang it is a little more complicated (and also Kuai Liang is my babygirl and I Will fixate on him wherever I can)

So, I think that Satoshi and Kuai Liang were actually quite close in the Lin Kuei, despite the clan frowning on attachments. I think Kuai Liang would have looked at this boy who has seen his parents die in front of him and been kidnapped and he would just see himself. Kuai Liang would probs go out of his way to protect Satoshi as much as he could, taking punishments for him so that Satoshi could escape as much pain as possible.

I think originally I had the idea that Satoshi will have told Kuai Liang about the attack but I've kinda changed my mind on that (tho that is still a fun idea to toy with) and I think it's more tragic if Kuai Liang doesn't know. So later, when he meets and becomes first enemies and then allies with Hanzo, he doesn't know who he is facing.

I also think Satoshi would have a lot of complicated feelings about the Lin Kuei. He'd hate them for what they did, but he'd still be one and I don't think he'd be able to separate who he is from that. Plus, Kuai Liang is kind to him, and I think he'd latch onto that and cling to Kuai Liang as much as possible, which would lead to some guilt on Satoshi's part bc to him it feels like he's trying to replace his parents (hence his rage when he thinks his dad has done the same thing, he's projecting).

Satoshi def tried to run away once and Kuai Liang helped him, leading to them both getting caught and punished (my hc is that if you try to desert the Lin Kuei, they brand you with their sigil and Kuai Liang and Bi-Han tried to run as children so he already has one on his wrist, and now Satoshi has one as well, tho idk where his would be).

After the cyber initiative, Satoshi was able to fake his death and escape, leading to Kuai Liang thinking that he's dead and mourning him. Like, he felt responsible for the kid and tried to take care of him and now he feels like he failed and I don't think he ever forgives himself for that.

Hanzo and Kuai Liang def talk about Satoshi, but they don't know they are talking about the same person. Kuai Liang only knows the kid as dragonfly and so that's who he talks about and Hanzo thinks Satoshi died, so he doesn't pick up on the fact that they are the same person.

After Takeda brings Satoshi home, Satoshi avoids Hanzo as much as possible, sticking to Kuai Liang's side again like he did in the Lin Kuei. Hanzo is really hurt by this but tries to grin and bear it bc he's just glad his son is alive and home again. Kuai Liang kinda gets caught in the middle between his apprentice and his kind-of-but-not-really boyfriend and eventually just forces the two to sit down together and talk their shit out

That's all I've got for rn, but lemme know if you want more, I will Happily make more of these

Through the Motions

Pairing: Francisco “Catfish” Morales x Reader

Summary: You and Frankie decide to start a family. Regardless of your mental illness and the challenges it faces.

Warnings: Mental health, cussing, pregnancy, bit of angst, comfort, fluffff, pretty much sums it up

A/N: Sooo…. This would be my first fic I’ve ever actually put out for the entire world to read. I used to have several 5 subject notebooks full of fanfic for myself and my cousins to read cause they were the only ones I trusted with that part of my brain. 15 years later and here I am. I had 4 different friends read it before I posted. All of which gave amazing input and helped me with wording, grammar, punctuation, etc. I love you guys!!! @hessofather(knows all about mentally ill pregnancy cause she did that), @jay-zzle(Spanish expert), @bi-panda(help with grammar and punctuation) and Sarah(helped with wording, who needs to get a tumblr)

Special shout out to: @chloeangelic- Thank you for being so helpful to this newbie with your writing advice! You saw this fic before it became what it is now, hopefully it’s still as interesting as you thought it was to begin with @gracieispunk for just telling me to go for it! ❤️❤️❤️

HERE GOES IT! 🫣

Masterlist

At the time you felt like this was a good idea, that you were strong enough to handle it, that it would get better as time went on. Except now you’re not so sure.

*****

It was your idea first, trying for a baby and Frankie was ecstatic. You’d discussed kids before but it was always in a wishful way, too nervous to stop the meds to actually try. Late one night while in bed you decide to talk about it once more.

“What if you can’t handle my episodes?”

“Such as…” He asks moving on his side propping up his head with his fist.

“Well… I’m kinda, actually no, I’m crazy without meds. You haven’t had to experience that side of me but other people have. I had so much rage in me all the time, I would snap in an instant at the smallest of things, there were days I couldn’t even get out of bed. I almost lost my job at one point.” You say rubbing your face trying not to think of the past without meds. He moves your hands and cups your cheek turning your head towards him.

“Hey now, we don’t have to do this. It’s up to you. I’d love it if we could have a version of you and me out in this world but it’s not a necessity if you don’t want to. I’m still going to be here whether we decide to do this or not”

“Oh god, the manic episodes! I’ve gotten those under control finally because of the meds but the mania was almost just as bad as the depression! Sooo many bad decisions, honestly surprised I don’t have a kid already. Definitely had a rise in my labido during the manic episodes,” with widened eyes and a panicked look you start to back track “Sorry! I’m so sorry! I’m rambling now.”

“Shhh, we all have a past,” Frankie laughs, shaking his head, “If we’re being truthful here though- if we try for a baby that would be helpful, right?”

You laugh and roll your eyes.

“Yeah, I guess you got me there.”

*****

Thinking about it and doing it are two completely different things. The trying part was definitely fun and then it happened. Those two pink lines happened a lot faster than you were expecting. What now? You have to get off your meds. That’s what you have to do now. It’s really happening. There is now a life growing inside of you. You thought you were ready for this. Mentally trying to prepare yourself for the moment the meds had to stop, the pregnancy hormones and what they’ll do, the changes your body will go through, the mindset you’ll need to have going through this, so much to prepare for. Then the first slip up happens. It took 3 weeks, 3 weeks for the first incident to happen.

“Oh, I see!” You say gritting your teeth, “So I need to have supper ready for you when you get home? Like I’m some 50s fucking housewife?!”

“That’s not what I even said. All I asked was what are we having for supper? I did not mean what are YOU making for supper.” Frankie said as calmly as he could. He never thought his army training would help him in a situation like this. They teach you how to handle dangerous territories, hostile situations, survival, and so much more. But this? No one ever trains you for this. For a hormonal, mentally ill, pregnant lady.

You can feel your face hot from anger turning into one of embarrassment and shame instead. Your bottom lip begins to tremble. You realize your mistake immediately. Not sure if it’s the mental illness or the hormones rushing through your body. It all kinda feels the same right now. Frankie notices the change immediately and rushes towards you.

“Bebé, bebé, bebé,” He says quietly wrapping his arms around you, pushing your head into the crook of his neck. “It’s okay. You’re okay. We’re okay. We’ll get through this just like everything else. I’m here.”

“I hate this!” You sob

*****

Your entire pregnancy you feel as if you’re going through constant loops. The manic and depressive episodes coming in waves. You sense it before it happens, a lot like when you can smell rain before it starts. The only thing is when. When is it going to hit you? Will it be a depressive episode? Where you find it near impossible to even get up but you have to in order to make sure things are ready for this baby. Will it be a manic episode? Where you have so much energy it feels like you’re going to crawl out of your own skin but also in a way beneficial because you can get so much ready for the nursery. Will it be one of sadness, anger, anxiousness? What will it be and can you make yourself stop it? Doubtful, you never can, just like now.

**9 months later**

He plops down at the kitchen table sighing. The baby has finally gone to sleep. After 2 hours of crying there is finally silence.

“What‘s wrong?” Frankie asks

“I don’t know.” you sigh, putting the last bottle in the dish rack to dry.

He can tell something is wrong by your actions. The way you’ve been rigid. You’re so stiff. You’re so tense. You feel on edge about every little thing.

The baby is crying. Needs changed again. The baby is crying. Needs fed again. The baby is crying. Needs soothed again. The baby is crying. When is there time to sleep? So over-stimulated it’s almost too much to bear.

It’s only been 2 weeks since the baby arrived and you’re back on meds finally. As with all things though, it takes time.

“What’s wrong? Hermosa, please tell me.” he asks again

“It’s just one of those days.”

One of those days, the hatred for yourself you feel. Am I a good mom yet? Am I doing everything that needs done? Is there anything I missed? I have to be perfect on the outside. Why am I NOT perfect on the outside? Can I even pretend to be perfect? The internal battle is almost too much. You don’t want to look at him. You don’t want him to see how much your mind is making you suffer because he will see it, he always sees it now.

“Baby, please talk to me!” He pleads

You push yourself off the kitchen sink and finally turn around wrapping your arms around yourself and you know he sees it. Your mind starts racing. He thinks you’re a failure. He wants to give up on you. He doesn’t want to deal with you anymore.

He gets up and takes a step closer, you take a step back. Not ready for the comfort, the consoling, the pity party to ensue. He grabs you before you can get too far away.

“You're an amazing momma. Don’t sell yourself short!”

“Hold on,” You start to remove yourself from him, “I need to get the hamburger out for supper tomorrow.”

He furrows his brows letting you go and sighs, “Will you sit down, please?”

Reluctantly you sit down and your mind starts racing and panicking again. Why does he want me to sit? Why did he sigh? Is he mad at me? Did I do something wrong?

The baby monitor goes off and you start to get up again

“Stop, sit. I got this. Stay here.”

So you sit. You sit at the kitchen table with your mind spiraling and wondering what to expect next. Can he change the diaper? Can he make the bottle if the baby needs feeding? Can he soothe the baby to go back to sleep? What does the baby need?

You hear the crackle of the monitor

“Momma is so tired, isn’t she? She needs a break sometimes. She takes such good care of you while I’m at work.“ the baby starts to wail louder, that must be the getting diaper changed cry, “Oh yes, I know mi vida, it’s so cold and momma does it better but daddy is here and can do it too.” Low and behold you are correct!

The baby stops crying. Soothed for now. Who knows how long it’ll be before they’re awake again. Frankie comes back to the kitchen.

“Mi amor, we should get to bed.”

You nod while he grabs the baby monitor then your hand, in a daze you let him lead you to the bedroom. He helps you change your clothes for the first time in three days. Frankie grabs your brush, he gently brushes til the knots are out of your hair and he puts it in a bun the way you like. He grabs you around the waist and guides you into the bed. Laying there together, he’s whispering words of praise to you, “Eres hermosa, you’re a good momma, you’re perfecto for me and our baby” placing soft kisses to your neck with each phrase, and then you hear his soft snoring. With silent tears falling down your face you finally start to drift off to sleep, you suddenly remember you forgot the hamburger meat. You try to move but with Frankie’s warmth and tight grip surrounding you you easily give up, guess there is always tomorrow.

Questions and Answers Part 7 for Was Not the Hero

is Hunter bi like his Uncle Philip maybe they could bond because of it?

Answer - I don't think they will talk about it much, at least not in the story as there is so much for them to go through before Hunter feels comfortable to talk to Philip about such things

2. What if Philip had a Grimwalker of himself how would he treat him?

Answer - Philip would most likely mistreat it worse than he did with Caleb's copies. I like to think Philip has deep self hatred so seeing a copy of himself would give him a way to lash out to someone more, especially someone who wears his face

3. Will there be kiss scene between Philip and Silas?

Answer - hehehe, maybe : )...

More questions and answers :

4. Belos means beautiful in different languages like Portuguese which he is

Answer - hahaha, he definitely is beautiful

5. Does Philip sometimes dream about having a better life with Silas away from the boiling isles? or does he repressed them?

Answer - No, he completely repressed them

6. The Hexsquad will possibly think that Philip was into strong muscular dudes after he tells them his experience with Silas, Luz would get him to try to read LGBT theme books or shows so he could have better self esteem about himself and not lash out at other openly gay people

Answer - Oh, the scene when everyone discovers about Philip and Silas is gonna be interesting to write and the way they confront him about it well, it's gonna be a bit different : )

7. is Philip gender non conforming?

Answer - he accepts himself as a male

8. was Philip considered a witch caused he liked men, is left handed, weird as a kid, and wasn’t as deeply religious before he got caught with his boyfriend? and that why he didn’t return to the human realm cause he wanted to prove to his abusers that he one of them?

Answer - He was seen as his soul tainted by the devil before peeps found out about him and Silas. Things got worse for him when they found out about him and Silas unfortunately. But yeah, he definitely kept doing the terrible things he had done to prove that he was one of them. He wanted to prove he was a hero

9. Did Philip killed Caleb because his romance with Evelyn reminded him of his relationship with Silas and partially attacked him because of jealousy?

Answer - Nah. In my story, he tried to kill Evelyn cause she's a witch and Caleb got in the way. Philip's curse was acting up and blinded him with rage so he didn't realize he struck Caleb till it was too late

10. does Philas fall under the masculine-feminine gay couple trope? Since Silas is described as muscular at times While Philip hair is noted to be beautiful with some characters pointing it out?

Answer - Hmmm, I don't think so. Both Silas and Philip both have interests that would be considered i guess as 'feminine' by society's standards. Silas, who doesn't follow with labels much, just enjoys anything he thinks is interesting. He's lived a long life within different cultures to honestly learn to appreciate so much

11. Some people want to know more abt Silas, few others about Rafael... But what abt Michael? Ngl ever since his first appearance I've been very curious abt him and i REALLY want to know more abt him (he looks like a sassy b tbh). Will we get more things abt Michael? Or can you even tell rn something abt him? (I'm desperate for michael content, no pressure)

Answer - There definitely will be more about Michael soon : )

12. What if Silas killed Philip? When he finds out his crimes what would be the aftermath?

Answer - Can't say , may be spoilers : o

13. Can Silas swim?

Answer - He can now

14. Is Philip low key jealous that Silas is more muscular than him? Even back then? Does he have body image issues cause he looked girly and is jealous that Silas looks more masculine than him?

Answer - Nah, Philip was a bit too arrogant bout his intelligence and thought Silas was some brute the first time they met. Later he loved Silas too much to really be jealous

15. Silas kinda looks Like Izzy Hands

Answer - hahaha, you think so? Silas is by far taller and larger : o

16. Does Silas have a 6 pack or 8 pack

Answer - none unfortunately, hahaha

17. How would Philip act if he was drunk?

Answer - I think he probably be a sad drunk

A heartstopper AU where Nick Nelson is an out and proud captain of the rugby team and a bisexual icon while shy art nerd Charlie has only ever liked girls before.

(Idk how to tag fics but this is PG-13.

Straight!Charlie)

It was the first day of class and Truham School for boys has announced new form groups. Charlie stared at the room number scratched onto the back of his hand for what felt like the millionth time today. He made it to the classroom door and took a breath. He knew none of his friends were going to be inside, they had already compared schedules. Elle was at Higgs now anyway. Charlie entered the classroom and said hello to the teacher.

"Charlie Spring!" Said Mr. Lange.

"Happy new year! Let's see, where did I put you on the seating plan... ah, yes, you're over there next to Nick Nelson, he's in year eleven only a year older than you."

Charlie nodded and headed to the back corner Mr. Lange had pointed to. Nick was already seated and was busy looking out the windown as Charlie approached. He looked at the seated boy; tall, broad shoulders, athletic type, with strawberry blonde hair that fell over the top of his head as he ran his hand through it. His attention was drawn back to the classroom as Charlie pulled out the chair, and set down his bag.

"Hi"

"Hi."

Charlie didn't know very much about Nick at all other than he was the captian of the rugby team and that he came out as bisexual last term. He remembered a random year 8 walk up to him, Tao, Elle and Issac during lunch

"Did you hear? Nick Nelson is gay! What a lo-"

Elle rolled her eyes. "I heard he was bi, actually"

The kid ran off before he heard her.

The weeks passed and Charlie found himself looking forward to form every day. He and Nick had been getting along really well and Charlie just felt so comfortable around Nick even though he couldn't figure out why. One day, Nick's pen exploded ink all over himself and Mr. Lange assigned Charlie to go with him to the washroom. It was an unlikely paring but Nick had somehow become Charlie's friend.

Charlie was going to lunch when his phone buzzed. He looked down at a message from Beth. Beth was a very popular year 11 whom he had met a year ago in the hall outside the band room. Since then, Beth would text Charlie and ask to see him regularly. Charlie still wasn't sure why she wanted to see him sometimes, especially when she didn't ever seem to want to hang out with him or even talk to him in the halls, but she was beautiful so Charlie would always find the empty room and there she would be. As soon as he closed the door behind him Beth was right there hands on his face, pressing him with kisses. Charlie pulled back, hesitant.

"Hello to you too."

Beth rolled her eyes. "Hey. I missed you." In between kisses.

Charlie pulled back again, farther this time.

"What do you want Beth?"

"What? Can't a girl miss her best boy?"

"I'm not your best boy, Beth. I'm not your anything. You won't even look at me in the halls and I'm tired of only ever seeing you in empty rooms while you snog the soccer player of the week at the front gate."

"Oooh someone's mad today." Beth said with a fake pout and another eye roll.

"I don't see why you're upset, you get to kiss me too, after all. Besides none of them kiss like you Charlie Spring."

Charlie held back the rage.

"Well I'm tired of being your guy on the side. Last year you told me how much you liked me but you didn't want your parents to know you had a boyfriend. It seems you're not afraid after all, you just don't want to be seen with me."

"Charlie its not my fault my friends think you're odd. It's not so much you, but your friends are all reaaaally weird. And you're in the band so like, you're a little odd."

She scoffs at the end of the sentance but then exclaims "heyyy!" When Charlie pushes her off him and opens the door. With the door open Beth jumps back and before she can protest Charlie says

"Don't text me anymore Beth. This thing between you and me? It's over." He leaves.

Nick walked down the hall searching for Charlie, he was sure his locker was down this hallway. Nick stood a head above everyone else so it didn't take him long to spot Charlie's dark curly hair half way down the row or spot a slender arm reach up and pull drum sticks out from inside.

Charlie plays drums? That's really cool, Nick thinks as he takes a deep breath before getting closer. He and Charlie had gotten considerably closer this term and Nick was trying to assure himself that the sensation that came over him anytime he was near Charlie was strictly platonic- just the excitement of making a new friend. Last year when he told the boys on his team that he was bisexual, a few of them had reacted poorly at first, and the teasing grew beyond typical banter. It wasn't long though before Nick's friends and the coach rallied and put a stop to the bullying, from students on and off the rugby team. Since then, he'd been navigating being out with the support of his friends and mother. His father wasn't around at all and his brother David was a dick about it still, but David was a dick about everything all of the time so it didn't bother Nick all too often.

"Allright?" Nick asked as he arrived at Charlie's locker.

Charlie looked up at Nick and smiled. Nick couldn't help but smile wide back and he scolded himself internally as he needed to stop this crush on Charlie Spring. The devishly handsome musician with long curls and the brightest eyes Nick had ever seen. Charlie is -straight- Nick hissed to himself. He's one of those artsy boys that girls love because he's quiet. They think it's mysterious.

"Alright." Said Charlie.

"You play the drums?" Said Nick. "That's cool. So listen uh- me and my mates were talking and. Do you uhm. Do you wanna try outfortherugbyteam" it all came out at once.

"Do I what?" Said Charlie, processing Nick's one syllable question.

"Try out for the rugby team? We have enough players for the team but we cant compete without a reserve."

Charlie smirked and raised his eyebrows.

"A whole school full of boys and I'm the best reserve, Truham has to offer? I dont think I'm the right type" he said with a flourish of his drum sticks.

"Aw come on, we're not your typical team!" Gesturing back to himself. "Loads of different types can play rugby! And I've seen you in PE. You can run really fast!"

"I'll think about it." Charlie said.

"Just come to practice."

As he walked away Charlie watched him go before blinking and realizing he'd kinda been staring. Nick had such a beauty to him that was still unmistakably boyish. Charlie blinked again. Beauty?

~~~~~

I really wasn't planning on writing all of that the post started with the promt and then I kinda immediately wanted to write it??

I haven't written anything in like 7 years and I haven't ever in my life posted something like this so please be nice 🥲 if this gets even 1 note I'll definitely write part 2 cause it was fun but I let my dinner get cold so I thought that would be an okay place to stop/pause. I hope yall like it and hopefully I tagged it all properly.

A fistful of warlock

The American West was not the most miserable land I have ever traveled but it came near it.” pg. 16 Excuse me what nonsense are you talking about Luccio? The Midwest is great.

I like the nacken

“The warlock would hide in the rough part town-his kind could rarely find sanctuary among stolid, sober townsfolk” pg. 18 His kind? Kind? He’s still a person.

Cool spectacles

“The current Captain of the Wardens, a man named McCoy, a man with great deal more powerful and experience than me, had brought down three.” pg. 24 Eb mention

“Not only that, but such an action would brake one of the Council’s unspoken laws: Wizards were expected to minimize the use of  their abilities in the presence of magic-ignorant mortals.” pg. 25 Harry breaking spoken and unspoken laws

“My name is Wyatt Earp” said the deputy “And I think I’m the law” pg. 29 I like Wyatt

“Thule Society” pg. 30 Isn’t that the thing Thomas and Ivy is apart of?

“He will be fairly tried, and then, I expect, beheaded for his crimes.”

Earp examined the fingers nails of his right hand. “A real fair trial?” pg. 34 Yep real fair :|

“Well Bill’s partner” pg. 38 GAY COWBOYS!

“You’re willing to challenge an entire town to a fight? For the sake of your friend’s salon?” pg. 41 Is…is Luccio type people who stand up for the right thing? Like Harry and Earp. No one wonder she and Morgan didn’t get together

“It was then that the drum began beating, a slow, steady cadence in the darkness.” pg. 42 Oh no necromancers

“Rage, pure and undiluted, rage that this man, this creature, would spurn his responsibility to humanity and distort the power that created the universe itself into something so obscene, so foul.” pg. 51 Whoa there Luccio let’s not call people ‘creatures’ that’s how dehumanizing begins at that’s bad

“Kemmler” pg. 55 Oh no him that’s not his last time around

B is for Bigfoot

“Volkswagen beetle” pg. 60 Blue Beetle!

“I’m not a moron, usually.” pg. 60 Ha

“The whole PI gig is mostly about patience.” pg. 60 It’s fun seeing Harry being a pi after several books of him not being one

“My jaw dropped open. I mean it literally dropped open.” pg. 62 Ha

Bigfoot!

I like Dr. Helena Pounder

“But how did I hookup with a BigFoot?” pg. 67 I mean we were all wondering so…

“People can overreact to things when their kids get involved.” pg. 71 Yep you’ll find out soon enough Harry

“I winced. I knew where this was going. I’d seen it before, when it had been me with the book and the lunch tray.” pg. 73 Poor Harry poor Irwin

I like Irwin

I don’t like Couch Pete

“He is a Whitestone,” he said “They sharpen their instincts upon him. He is good for them.” pg. 84 He’s a child

I like Harry’s speech to Irwin

Go Irwin!

AAAA Wizardly

“They all look so darn young.” The close second was “Myers God I’m I getting older” pg. 106 Poor Harry

“The war had simply made the penalty for not learning quite a bit steeper.” pg. 107 Poor kids

I like Harry teaching the young wardens

“Oh God” she said “I think I like you”

“Give it time” pg. 117 Ha

“I’ve never met anyone who was breathing who I thought was too far gone to help.” pg. 122 Aw Harry

Boogeyman

“Only kids can sense them” pg. 123 Oh interesting

I’m glad the family got better

I was a teenager Bigfoot

“I’m in the ninety ninth percentile for height, but this guy was tall.” pg. 144 Yep

“You have an unsophisticated sense of humor.” pg. 145 Yes he does

River Shoulders!

“He was a good-looking man” pg. 151 Bi Harry 39

I can’t believe Irwin’s already a teenager

“I can’t think of anything sexier first impression than a man quoting Yakko and Wakko Warner” pg. 154 Ha

“Optio” pg. 159 New spell

“It was beautiful magic, which was rare for me.” pg. 159 Aw

“My record for going without sleep was just under six days” pg. 168 Harry you need sleep

“Wah” I said, Bruce Lee style” pg. 172 Ha

“You used black magic. To grow hair.” pg. 178 Seriously :|

“And I had no intention of turning anyone over to the tender mercies of the Wardens if I could possibly avoid.” pg. 179 Yep

Curses

“I mean I didn’t take my feet down off my desk or anything. But I payed attention.” pg. 184 Ha

“Mr. Dovovan” I said “no one does discretion like me.” pg. 189 Ha

More lore yay!

“Weregoats” pg. 202 Ha

I like Jill

“Gwynn ap Nudd” pg. 211 Where have I heard that name before

“ruggedly handsome” pg. 211 Bi Harry 40

Since when did Harry get so many titles?

“I’d like to see them to beat out the Yankees.”

“Who wouldn’t? Bloody Yankees” pg. 213 Ha and yes beat the Yankees

I like Geynn

Yes baseball is very serious business

“I have this weird thing where I take professional ethics seriously.” pg. 219 Yep

“They’re going to fight through it eventually.” pg. 222 Yep and they did in 2016

“Gwynn ap Nupp’s handsome face broke into a smile” pg. 223 Bi Harry 41

Even Hand

EVEN HAND TIME BABY!!!

I’m so excited for this short story

“A successful murder is like a successful restaurant: Ninety percent of it is about location, location, location” pg. 226 Ha and I probably shouldn’t have laughed at that

“They knelt over a large faded stain the concrete floor, left on the floor by the hypocritical White Council of Wizardly during their last execution.” pg. 226 Is Marcone making a point by having this executive here? How does Marcone know about the execution? And yes the White Council is hypocritical. We now have three canonical warehouses in all of Chicago. They just cycle through them.

“The man was young and good looking.” pg. 226 Is…is Marcone Bi? Gay? Bi Marcone 1

Oh Marcone is doing the execution himself

Why Boston? That’s so far away

Mr. Morell is the mob boss of Chicago

“I run the whores” pg. 227 Marcone that’s rude to say. It’s either sex worker or seamstress

Marcone your putting the one alive guy in a shipping container with his dead colleagues.

“He twitched his chin in the slight motion that he used for a nod when he disproved of my actions but intended to obey be anyway.” pg.227 Marcone knows Hendricks well

“Location, location, location” pg. 228 Ha nice call back

“Obviously, I am not Harry Dresden” pg. 228 First Harry Dresden mention

“My name is something I rarely trouble to remember, but for most of my adult life, I have been called John Marcone.” pg. 228 John Marcone isn’t his actual name!?

“I’m not even possessed of the mystic abilities of a mortal wizard.” pg. 228 Not yet

Yes they broke Marcone rules about kids

“He was hunched over a laptop too small for him, plugging away at his thesis” pg. 230 Hendricks has a thesis?! Cool

“The problem was young and attractive.” pg. 230 Bi Marcone 2

Justine!

“You are a sometime associate of Harry Dresden” I said “Given his proclivities about those he considers to be under his aegis, it is sensible to identify as many of them as possible.” pg. 232 Of course Marcone keeps track of Harry and his friends. And Marcone you do the same with your employees.

I like that Marcone renovates old buildings instead of tearing them down.

Oh the Formor

“Précis please,” pg. 234 Of course Marcone know French

Hendricks knows how to use a sword!?

“I don’t grant favors” You don’t? What about helping save the thralls in White Knight? Or giving Harry info in Changes?

“He blasted the door into a cloud of flying splinters with what I presumed with magic.” pg. 235 Ha

“For God’s sake

At least the vampires would call for an appointment.” pg. 235 Ha

“After a few visits from Dresden and his ilk I’ve invested in cheap, light doors at dramatic (as opposed to tactical) entry points.” pg. 235 Ha and glad to see Harry left an impression. Has Harry noticed the flimsy doors?

“Sir. Please” pg. 236 If Harry was the one asking and saying please Marcone would cave and agree

“Is it so much to ask for civility?” pg. 236 Ha and you should be used to this with Harry

Ohhh copper circle nice

“you are property. You have no rights in the current situation” pg. 241 Marcone Justine isn’t property she’s a person

“I am not a humanitarian. When I offer charity it is for tax purposes.” pg. 241 Lying to yourself Marcone. Again what about the Raith deeps? What about the info he gave Harry in Changes? No wait this takes place before Changes. What about Amanda? What about saving Harry when Gard said he was to die?

“Hendricks looked at me sharply. He didn’t say anything he didn’t have to. I already knew the tone of whatever he would say. Are there no prisons? perhaps. Or, no man was an island, entire of itself. It tolls for thee. On and on.” pg. 243 Thank you Hendricks for being Marcone’s jimmy cricket/concussion

Yes she is a child

“It is, with the possible exception of Dresden’s home, the most secure location in the city.” pg. 245 Oh interesting that Marcone considers his safe house the second most secure place. He clearly respects Harry given his assessment of his abilities. How does Marcone know that Harry has the best? Could Gard not make the room the best?

“Honestly” pg. 246 Ha he’s so sarcastic

“They make the anti technology effect Dresden puts off looks like mild sunspot activity” pg. 248 Harry mention again that’s the fifth time and Harry isn’t even here

“I first handed in my patriotically delusional youth” pg. 250 Marcone was in the military?!

Oh no Hendricks :(

Ouch Marcone broke his arm

“Given a choice between that egocentric drivel and a broken arm, I prefer the latter.” pg. 253 Ha

Interesting armor that Gard has

“Be a dear and burn down the building” I said

 She appeared by my desk looking bruised, exhausted, and functional. She lifted both eyebrows. “Was that a joke?

“Apparently,” I said “Doubtless the result of triumph and adrenaline.”

“My word” she said. She looked startled” pg. 261 Marcone’s funny and why is Gard surprised? Harry and Marcone banter all the time

“Make it look like an accident.” pg. 261 So insurance fraud. What would Harry be under acts of God?

“quarter of a million dollars” pg. 261 Marcone just has that kind of money?

“He seemed fine by the time he left, growling at Gard as she fussed over him.” pg. 262 Aw

“To say nothing of the fact that the bullets themselves are rare.” pg. 262 Interesting

“Dear child,” I said “I am a criminal. One very good way to cover up a crime is to commit an another, more obvious one.” pg. 263 Marcone is so smart

“You might consider speaking to Father Forthill at St. Mary of the Angles. The Church appears to have some sort of program to place those endangered by the supernatural into hiding.” pg. 264 Interesting

“I debated putting a bullet in her head but decided against it.” pg. 265 Marcone no and besides didn’t you just talk about Harry and those under his protection

“If she should speak of today’s events to Dresden…” pg. 265 Sixth Harry mention. Did Justine tell Harry? I do wish Harry and Justine interacted more

“They were there to kill Harry Dresden.” pg. 265 Seventh Harry mention Bit dramatic much. I don’t know if all that would kill Harry. The bombs in his office didn’t do it. The sprinkler system might work. Not sure about Gard and the magic bullets. Besides it’s so dramatic. If you want to kill Harry just do what Kincaid did. Sniper rifle but this time aim for the head. This whole plan involves Harry attacking Marcone on his home turf and using magic instead of a gun.

“I would test myself against Dresden in earnest on day” pg. 265 Eighth Harry mention. Besides if they wanted to kill each other they could have done ages ago. Harry doesn’t even threaten Marcone that badly like he did with Marva. Eight mentions of Harry Dresden in one story.

“Location location location” pg. 266 Ha

Bigfoot on campus

“It’s coffee flavored coffee,”

“No mocha?”

“Fuck mocha”

“Thank god” I said. “Black” pg. 267 Ha

“Am I under arrest?”

“That’s what we’re going to talk about” pg. 268 Ha 

“you could explain why I found you in the middle of an orgy.”

“Well” I said “if you’re going to be in an orgy the middle is the best spot isn’t it?” pg. 268 Ha

“Maybe you could explain why there was a car on the fourth floor of the dorm”

“Classic college prank” I said

“Usually when that happens, it hasn’t made big holes in the exterior wall.”

“Someone was avoiding cliche?” pg. 269 Ha

“What about all the blood?”

“There were no injuries, were there?”

“No”

“Then who cares? Some film student watched  Carrie too many times.” pg. 269 Ha

“Six separate calls in the past three hours with a Bigfoot sighting on campus. Bigfoot. What do you know about that?

“Well kids these days with their internets and their video games and their iPods. Who knows what they thought they saw.” pg. 269 Ha

“They almost never get violated, and when they do, it’s a big deal.” pg. 273 Yeah like starting a war

“In the Midwest, if you show up to a college town on a weekend, you risk running into a football game. In my experience, that resulted in universal problems with traffic, availability hotel rooms, and drunken football hooligans.

Or wait: Soccer is the one with hooligans. Drunken American football fans are just…drunks I guess.” pg. 277 Ha

“There was nothing in particular that should have caused my hormones to rage.” pg. 281 White court vampire calling it now

“They were becoming increasingly flecked with motes of molten silver” pg. 284 I knew it!

Wait I don’t think she knows oh no

“I couldn’t answer him for a second, the air felt so close. The last time I’d felt this much latent waiting power, I’d been standing next to my mentor Ebenezar McCoy, when he was gathering his strength for a spell.” pg. 292 Eb mention

“And this organization called the Paranet” pg. 293 Paranet! This is what I’m talking about information sharing yes

“People don’t want to know the truth. That makes it simple to hide. Wow, ten minutes? Really? I guess I’m not an Internetty person.”

“Internetty” Irwin said, seriously “I guess you aren’t” pg. 294 Ha

“So how come Kid Bigfoot wasn’t dead?” pg. 302 Interesting maybe because he’s got do much life energy Irwin didn’t die?

“The girl was in love with Irwin” pg. 302 I wonder how Connie can touch Irwin without getting burn?

“My son has joined himself to a parasite.”

“I felt a flash of milf outrage” pg. 302 RiverShoulders she’s a person

“I’ll give you till midnight to leave the state. After that you’re gone. One way or another”

“Hang on, I’m terrified let me catch my breath.”

“I react poorly to those who threaten my family’s well being, Dresden.”

“Yeah. You’re a regular Ozzie Nelson. John Walton. Ben Cartwright.

“Excuse me?”

“Mr. Drummond? Charlie…in charge? No?”

“What are you blabbing about?”

“Hells bells, man. Don’t any of you White Court bozos ever watch television? I’m giving you pop-reference golf here. Gold.” pg. 309 Ha

Wild Bill!

“Also, my pants had shrunk by several sizes.” pg. 323 What? Why?

Go Riversholders! He threw a car!

“Don’t be a moron Harry,” I said “You came for the kid. He’s safe. That’s all you were obligated to do. Let it g- Oh who am I kidding. There’s a girl.” pg. 334 Ha

“Wait. A…what? Am I going to sparkle or something?”

“God, no” said Irwin and I together” pg. 340

Bombshell

“I miss my boss” pg. 345 Poor Molly :(

“Harry wouldn’t have felt that. Harry would have saved the day. He would have smashed the Formor goons around like bowling pins, picking the kid up like some kind of serial-movie hero, and taken him to safety.” pg. 346 Hero worship

Justine!

“When you’re in magic, people always assume you do must be connected to it. Harry always thought it was funny. To him, magic was just one more set of tools that the mind could use to solve problems.” pg. 350 Interesting

“I hadn’t wanted to hurt his feelings but that kind of thing really wasn’t necessary.” pg. 354  Interesting to see how Molly used Harry’s spell and changed it

“The math wasn’t hard. I had two angles measured against the magnetic north.” pg. 355 Interesting how much math is involved in magic

“That bitch deserved to be run over by a car.” pg. 377 Poor Molly :(

“This isn’t going to work.” Justine murmured

“It’s going to work.” I told her keeping my tone confident. We’ll breeze right in. The Rack will be with us.”

Justine glanced at me with an arched brow “The Rack?”

“The Rack is more than just boobs, Justine” I told her soberly. “It’s an energy field created by all living boobs. It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together.”

Andi started giggling. “You’re insane.”

“But functionally so,” I said, and adjusted myself to round out a little better. “Just let go of conscious self and act on instinct.

Justine stared blankly at me for a second. Then her face lightened and she let out a little laugh. “The Rack will be with us?”

I couldn’t stop myself from cracking a smile “Always.” pg. 381 Ha

“I spotted Gentleman Jonnie Marcone, the head of Chicago’s outfit, in attendance, with his gorilla, Hendricks, and his personal attack witch, Gard, floating around near him.” pg. 385 Marcone! Again with that spelling. Why is Molly calling Hendricks a gorilla and Gard a attack witch?

“Too easy,” I whispered “This was too easy.” pg. 397 Yep something’s up

“Mortal upstart. Calling himself a baron. He will pay for what he did to my brother.” pg. 403 Marcone! This is the brother of the Formor from Even Hand

“Miss Gard freaked out about two minutes ago and all but carried out Marcone out of here. Security is mobilizing.” pg. 407 Why am I picturing Gard bride carrying or fireman carrying Marcone?

“Dammit,” I growled “What would Harry do?” pg. 409 WWHD Harry would make it up as he goes so you’re doing great at that part Molly

“Harry had once told me that when you had one problem, you had a problem. But when you had several problems, you might have several solutions.” pg. 409 Interesting

“Hey God” I whispered. “I know I haven’t been  around much lately, but if you could do me a solid here, it would be really awesome for a lot of people. Please let me be right.” pg. 419 Ha

“Harry. Alive.” pg. 431 Yay!

Cold Case

“My own clothing, I knew disappointed her gravely, but I was used to doing that to mother-figures.” pg. 435 Ouch poor Molly :(

Carlos!

“Harry Dresden has had a horrible influence on far too many people, and has much to answer for.” pg. 449 Ha

“I’d had recurring nightmares about it, in fact.”  pg. 450 Didn’t Harry also have nightmares about the wardens?

Elaine!

“Psychic interrogation” pg. 460 Oh no

“Warden do a lot of good.” He said quietly “It isn’t always pretty, what we do, but it needs to be done.” pg. 464 Wardens kill children Carlos

“He dealt with them on a continuous basis, after all, and in his studied opinion, if you had one problem, you had a problem. But if you had multiple problems, you might also have an opportunity. pg. 468 Call back to bombshell!

“God, I love hero work.” Carlos said as we stepped back out into the storm. “No murky gray area, no anguished questions, no conflicting mortality. Bad guys took some kids, and we’re gonna get’em out.” pg. 476 That does sound nice and I like how this shows the reader how young Carlos is

“Maybe if someone had offered a hand to the monsters, they wouldn’t have become monsters in the first place.” pg. 477 Yes!

“I was carrying pliers with me, so that I could take vampire teeth as trophies.” pg. 477 Carlos that’s not a good thing. That’s spoils of war or serial killer trophies and that’s bad.

“Mom taught me, She was scoutmaster for my brothers.” pg. 480 Cool

“Outsiders” pg. 481 Oh no

So Outsiders plus fisherman equals Call of Cthulhu

“Harry was a big believer in kicking in the teeth of whoever you planned to fight.” pg. 485 Ha and yes good tactics

“kicked the big double door off their hinges as if they’d been made of balsa and Scotch tape.

At which point I learned the real reason Harry keeps doing that.

It. Is. Awesome.” pg. 486 Ha

“And then I was sitting on the floor of the shower, shuddering, hot water pouring down around me.” pg. 499 What

“I looked down at the water. The drain stopper was down, and it was seven or eight inches deep.

And pink.” pg. 500 What happened?

Poor Carlos :(

Ok so Molly can’t have sex and the mantel will attack anyone who tries to have sex with her.

“You want me to take their children.” pg. 504 Oh no :(

Jury Duty

“Summons,” I said glowering. “It’s a freaking command. They want to see a real summoning is, I could show them.” pg. 513 Ha  and I can’t believe the government got Harry a summons. He died then came back from the dead and was homeless for a bit. There’s no way bureaucracy was this fast. There has to be scheming involved. String pulling from someone. Maybe Lara or Marcone?

“More had been set aside by the new owner of my old address, formerly Mrs. Spunkelcheif’s boardinghouse, and now the Better Future Society. I hadn’t been able to stomach asking the new owner for my mail, but Butters had gotten it for me.” pg. 513 Wait does this mean that Marcone kept Harry’s mail? How long did Marcone keep Harry’s mail? Even when Harry was dead? Was Marcone hoping Harry would come get them? What was the conversation between Butters and Marcone like?

“The government isn’t the mob, Harry.”

“Aren’t they?” I asked “Pay them money every year to protect you, and God help you don’t.” pg. 514 Ha

“Then a guy in a black muumuu showed up and reconnected the plot of My cousin Vinney.

Okay, it was a robe and the guy was the judge, and he gave us a brief outline of the format of the trial system, but it’s not nearly as entertaining to say it that way.” pg. 516 Ha

“The new kid was in his late twenties” pg. 517 Who let this kid be the prosecutor? He can’t be that out of law school.

“So where was his public defender?” pg. 518 He’s got the right to a public defender so where are they? Something’s up I’m suspicious

“Everyone stood up. After a second, so did I.

I guess you could say I’m not really a joiner.” pg. 518 Ha

“He held up a glossy professional headshot of a handsome man in his thirties and showed it to us.” pg. 520 Bi Harry 42

“drag a female child, Latino, around the age of ten, into the alley.” pg. 526 Oh

“Something did not add up here.” pg. 528 Yep

So let’s review the facts

Harry who’s died and come back from the died for less than a month only a gets a jury summons despite bureaucracy being slow.

The prosecutor is a new kid and not the DA.

The defense doesn’t have an attorney.

The victim was a stock broker.

The defendant is a tough guy who’s definitely been in fights before.

There is supposedly a child that the man kidnapped.

The defendant is more beat up than seems appropriate.

In conclusion I think that the fear eating Raiths are the victim was a stockbroker and not a ghoul got the girl and the defendant killed a White Court vampire. Then either Marcone or Lara stacked the jury to have Harry involved. They made it so the prosecution was a new guy and the defense doesn’t have a lawyer.

“Nobody was going to go bat for him.

Unless I did it.” pg. 529 Yep

“I started with Johnny Cash version of “Hurt” which was pretty simple. I sang along with it. I’m not good, but I can hit the notes and keep the rhythm going” pg. 533 This is nice and I miss Harry’s guitar and I wish he’d played more

“The door was locked.

It was also made of glass.

I smiled.” pg. 537 Ha

“Tania Raith” I knew a Raith was involved

“She wielded enormous influence in Chicago, maybe as much as the head of Chicago outfit, Gentleman Johnnie Marcone, gangster lord of the mean streets.” pg. 539 Marcone mention!

“Because you know what happened the last time some vampires abducted a little girl and I decided to take her back. pg. 539 Yep scary threat

“I believe Baron Marcone has recognized claim on this city. Or am I mistaken?” pg. 540 It’s their city

“Luther was one of Marcone’s soldiers.” pg. 540 Oh

“He pulled some strings to get me on the jury.” pg. 541 I knew strings were pulled

“Dammit Marcone had put me where there’d be a guy getting fast- tracked to an unjust sentence and known damn well how I’d react. He could have asked me for help, but I’d have told him to take a flying…leap. And he’d have known that. So he set it up without me knowing.” pg. 542 Marcone knows him so well

“What does Marcone mean to you? You don’t owe him anything. Why not sit down, have a drink, help me celebrate.” pg. 543 Tania asking the real questions

Riley doesn’t get paid enough

Tania really does need a babysitter.

“Goddamn supernatural assholes” pg. 550 Does she know? Does the Judge know?

Day one

“There were a great many letters in that, and not much that I understood” pg. 558 Ha

Lamar!

“The skull is very dangerous object.” He said “It doesn’t…understand love. It doesn’t understand faith.” pg. 568 Bob!

Fear monster

Harry!

“Polka will never die” pg. 587 Yes!

“You stand up and kick it in the fucking teeth” he said and there was a quiet certain power in his voice that had nothing to do with magic. “You’ve forgotten the most important thing a Knight needs to remember, Butters.”

“What’s that?” I breathed

“Knights of the Cross aren’t afraid of monsters” he said. “Monster are afraid of you. Act like it. Commit to it, hard. And have faith.” pg. 590 Such a good speech.

“But I had faith in my friends

One friend in particular.” pg. 590 My heart :)

“ Ehyeh ašer ehyeh” pg. 594 A quick google search shows that this means I Am Who I Am

Zoo Day

“The man who mostly shaped me was a sadistic monster, and by the time my grandfather came along, Ebenezar wasn’t parenting so much as enticing psychological damage control.” pg. 599 Aw poor Harry :(

“I really really wanted to get this right.” pg. 599 Aw

Of course Maggie likes Star Wars

“She was the most beautiful child I’d ever seen, but everyone thinks that about their kid.

 Maybe everyone is right.” pg. 601 Yes! and my heart :)

“What if I do it wrong?” pg. 601 My heart

“What if…I don’t know. What if I set something on fire?”

“Maybe we’ll roast some marshmallows” pg. 602 Don’t worry Maggie if anyone is going to set something on fire it’ll be Harry. And this marshmallow comment reminds be of the one in Changes

Oh a warlock

“I stared at the kid for a while.

I had been that kid for a while.” pg. 608 Poor Harry poor kid

“Then I did something I don’t do very often: I turned my back and walked away.” pg. 608 What

“She picked up a French fry and dipped it in a large mound of mustard. Not ketchup.

What?” pg. 610 What

“If someone needs your help, you help them.” Maggie said simply “Even when it’s really hard. Miss Molly told me that about you.” pg. 612 Yep

“If I hadn’t been so exhausted, I’d have been just one more warlock slain while resisting arrest.” pg. 613 Interesting

I like all the dad Harry content I’m getting to see

Ohhh we’re getting two perspectives.

Maggie!

“My dad was a pretty scary-looking guy if you didn’t know him.” pg. 621 Aw and it’s always interesting to see other characters perspective of Harry

“Sort of like how grown ups can’t see the creeps” pg. 624

“If I didn’t have to worry about turning into a complete spaz” pg. 625 Aw poor Maggie :(

“Must be because Dad was here, and he really, really liked dad.” pg. 624 Aw

“What if he thought I was, you know? Broken. What if he didn’t want a daughter who was all funny in the head?” pg. 629 Aw poor Maggie I just want to give Maggie a hug

“And then my dad’s head shot up like Mouse when he smells lighter fluid at the Carpenters house, and his eyes flicked around him like big, hungry bear looking for something to tear  into.” pg. 629 Ha

“He should have had his coat. It would have been all swirly, like Batman. Jeans and an old Battlestar Galactica T-shirt just didn’t make the same impression.” pg. 633 I’m glad Maggie likes the coat.

“I interrupted it by throwing salt into its black, empty eyes.” pg. 634 Go Maggie!

“Because what if Miss Molly had told me the kid-safe version of the truth about my dad? What if he wasn’t as good as she said he was? What if he didn’t want to take care of a daughter who had issues? Who was really hard to be around.” pg. 639 Aw poor Maggie

“Hey you, Space Face” pg. 640 Ha

“Good boy, Mouse” pg. 642 Yes good boy!

Mouse looks really cool

Oh interesting that Maggie knows Spanish

Poor Maggie

Three perspectives!

Mouse yes you’re a good dog!

“My Friend was worried he could not be a good father to a little girl, which is ridiculous-but if he wasn’t worried about it, he wouldn’t be the person he is” pg. 652 Aw

“Is my Friend awesome or what?” pg. 659 Yes he is

“My Shadow, it would seem” pg. 661 Interesting

“Plus, I’m never sure when she’ll try to kill me again.

It’s complicated” I’m sorry what

Marcone!

“No Valkerye girl Friday?” Ha

Oh someone broke Marcone’s rule they’re gonna die

“There’s another person I could go to.

But even if he believed me and agreed to the job, he would complicate it unbearably. We’d be at war with Canada within the week. Somehow.” Ha and I assume they’re talking about Harry

“There was angels standing guard around another house not unlike this one not three blocks away.” Michael’s house!

“Oh. Yes. People.”

“I keep forgetting them” Viti what do you mean you ‘keep forgetting them’?

“Viti had been a survivor of a training program  whose members had, as the culmination of their training, been assigned to murder one another” Is Viti a red widow?

Poor kids :(

“Viti turned the gun on the kids, who flinched.” VITI NO

“Hey, you know how a nine-hundred-pound Bengal tiger gets into a locked room?

Any damned way it wants.” Ha

“The next day, Marcone, with his big dumb Einherjaren bodyguard.” Who is this bodyguard? Where’s Hendricks? Where’s Gard?

“But grapefruit juice?” Grapefruit? Really? Who willingly drinks grapefruit juice?

“Monster LLC calling for Harry Dresden,” she said “Please tell that there are children who need his help.” Of course they call Harry. This is right up his alley! 

Final thoughts

I liked these stories especially Even Hand and Zoo Days. I loved all the Marcone mentions and his story. I liked the fights and thought the stories were funny. I liked the different perspectives. I want to give Maggie and Harry hugs. I loved all the Dad Harry content I got in Zoo Days. There were so many Bi Harry moments in these. We’re up to 42 moments. Molly’s stories were sad :( Cool that beings exist that only kids can see. Not a fan of some of the things Luccio and Carlos say. I loved Butters first mission. I liked the monster story. I love what Marcone says about Harry. I love that Gary calls Harry. Overall I liked it.

Even Hand

My favorite story. I love the look into Marcone. I do wonder how John Marcone not being John’s Name will play out. Could this name be used against him or used in oaths? Does ‘John Marcone’ hold more weight than his given name now? Who knows his given name? Why did he change it? This does bring interesting ideas with his alliance with Mab and Vadderung. Him being a marine is interesting. Did Marcone serve a full time in the marine? Did he get honorably discharged? Dishonored? What was his rank? I liked how sarcastic Marcone is. He really is a good foil to Harry. I like the 2 Bi Marcone moments. I love that Harry has left such an impression on Marcone with the flimsy doors and the elaborate death trap. I like how Marcone saved both Justine and the kid. I love the Hendricks and Gard moment.

Sober: Din Djarin x Reader

A/N: post chapter 16, reader is bi bc i say so

Warnings: chapter 16 spoilers, swearing, alcohol, drunkness, love, alcohol addiction if you squint, self hate, break ups, PURE ANGST with a lil bit o fluff

Word count: <1200

Din can hardly remember why the two of you are fighting. What he does know is this: both of you are tired, frustrated and aching, with a bounty having slipped through your fingers - and now you're at each others' throats. He can see the way your fingers are balled into fists, and for a moment he wonders if you'll hit him, because the emotions flaring in your eyes are far from rational. Words are pouring off his tongue, as they are yours, and he can't find a way to stop them and their raging flood.

His heart aches. He misses Grogu, he misses being a clan of three, the way it was when it was just you, him and the kid, and now he's lost his son, lost his ship, the presence of the black hilt clipped to his belt placing power that he doesn't want in his hands, and worse, his relationship with you currently seems to be fraying.

Din glares at your hard, black visor. It seems nothing like the soft voice that lays gentle kisses on his skin under the cover of darkness, nothing like the bell like laugh that used to chime at Grogu's antics, nothing like the dangerous, powerful purr you use on bounties. It just stares at him, cruel and impenetrable as you lay out his flaws before him, ripping him apart, piece by piece.

Din's fists tighten. 'Don't talk to me like that.' 'Who told you that you can control what I say?' You spit. 'You're just a fucking - ' 'You have no right to call me anything when you tell me every day about how you hate our Creed.' You snarl, grabbing his cowl, yanking him forward and shoving your face into his. 'If you had been more loyal to our Creed, maybe we'd still have Grogu.'

Din finds that he can't speak. Your words echo like a vicious curse in his head, displaying to him everything that had gone unsaid for the days that Grogu's been gone. He knows that there should be a rational part of his brain which will point out to him that he did what he needed to do, that your words make no sense, but even that has fallen silent, muted by your barbed words.

He turns on his heel and strides down the ramp, his cloak a savage swirl of soot behind him. Partly because he's not sure that he'll ever be able to look at you again without those words echoing in his head, partly because he knows he's not going to do something smart if he stays.

As he walks away, you raise your voice. 'That's what I fucking thought.'

He doesn't turn around.

════∘◦❁◦∘════

You don't remember much. You recall being worried that Din wasn't back yet. You recall how the sky had darkened to a pressing dark purple, and how you'd paced in the hull, unable to think of anything but your words to him. Of course he had gone off like that, of course you had had to lash out like that. You recollect choking down a sob and stumbling down the ramp, hugging yourself.

And now you're here, back in the ship, a broken bottle at your feet, countless empty ones resting against the crate you're sitting on, and another in your hands, a half empty packing case of the cheap whiskey on the floor, in easy reach. Listlessly, you stare down at the shards of glass littered across the ground. The fragments remind you of yourself - of what a mess you are, alcohol and regret still clinging to you in a sticky residue, of how you're sharp, how no one can come close to you without being hurt.

First your ex, and now Din. You can remember her ice blue eyes - she hadn't been a Child of the Watch like you - and how cold they had been when your relationship splintered into cruel edges of hurt. You can remember her jet black hair, her wild smirk, the way her voice had been pointed and yet oh - so smooth.

Is this how you'll think of Din in the years to come? As an elusive memory to cling onto in the darkest hours of the night when you lie in your cot, alone? Will you think of his gentle voice, his tender touches, and desperately struggle to recall exactly how they made you feel? Are you destined to be left alone with nothing but your regret forever?

You're not sure when you started crying, but the tears are streaming down your face now, soaking into your cowl as they drip off your chin. When you bought it, you thought the whiskey would help you forget, but you know that it never does. Not with her, and now, not with him. It just dulls the pain, and you're not even sure if you deserve that, not when it's your fault you're back here, drowning in self hate. Opening another bottle, you drop the lid, barely hearing it hit the floor as you take a deep swig from it. It's too bitter on your tongue - or maybe that's just the way your heart is throbbing.

You shiver, staring out into the night. You've left the ramp open, just in case he comes back, and the cold bites at your skin, but you hardly feel it. Not while you're desperately praying for him to come back, for him to not be done with you just yet.

A twig cracks outside, and your head snaps up. The yellow eyes of some creature stare back, and you drop your forehead back onto your forearms, the whiskey bottle in your hand trembling as you sob.

You're certain he's not coming back.

════∘◦❁◦∘════

You're half conscious and down to the last two bottles of whiskey when Din gets back. Emptyy bottles surround you like a glass army, and he has to delicately pick his way through them to get to you. He'd planned to go to Tatooine, to find Peli and ask her for a ship which isn't full of memories of you, but as soon as he started to pull the credits out to pay for his ticket, he balked. He couldn't leave you, not when he's sure can't live without you.

Not when he knows he loves you.

Gently, he scoops you into his arms, and you jump, weakly hitting his chest and struggling against him. And then you catch a whiff of his scent, and you collapse against him, eyes which you thought were dry welling up again as you cling onto him. He grips you, holding you as tight as he dares, unable to separate himself from you now that you're back together.

'I'm s - sorry,' you whimper, and although you slur, he can hear the truth in your words. 'I'm sorry too, sweet girl,' he chokes out. 'I'm so sorry.' You press your face into his neck. 'I - I thought you weren't going to come back.' You sob. 'I thought that I - I'd never see you again and I - ' 'It's okay,' he soothes, pressing his forehead to yours. 'I'm here now. I'm never - never leaving you. I love you, mesh'la. I'll always love you.' You look up at him, and tears cling like crystals to your lashes. 'I - I love you too, Din. Always.'

And he knows those words are completely and utterly sober.

[bluecollarbisexual]

My dad was a fire captain for calfire. I’m a nurse.

Started watching 911 for the bisexual rep that’s cropped up recently, as I’ve watched much worse shows for a lot less. Was really excited to watch a dumb procedural with a compelling bi storyline since I feel like the experience of figuring your shit out/exploring your sexuality older is a distinctly bisexual experience.

My experience of actually watching the show has been a little surprising though. I went into it mostly just stoked for a queer storyline that I could see myself reflected in. But what’s sticking with me more is the way I’m sort of understanding my father.

It took me until I started working as a nurse to really be able to understand even a fraction of some of the stuff I was only peripherally aware of as a kid. The way he resisted to the point of rage when I was insisting on wanting a motorcycle. The way he would angrily tell me how he spent too many nights scraping people off of the freeway for him to ever condone me buying something like that.

When I finally started working in medicine I began to understand some of his trauma, and the way it made him angry. I’ve learned what it’s like not to be able to save people and to watch them die, sometimes horrifically.

I didn’t go into this show expecting any real insights. I just wanted a fun romp with a queer reward. But weirdly the standout character has been Bobby for me. I see a lot of my father in him. The trauma and the fear and the still putting the turnouts back on and going out there under the influence of some drive that’s 1 part naturally-born hero, 1 martyr, and 1 part adrenaline junkie. And the mark that these kinds of jobs leave on the people who do them.

I grew up hearing stories about horrific motorcycle accidents. About how my father wasn’t there to help my mother when I was a newborn, because he was in San Francisco responding to the devastation of Loma Prieta. About how after one particularly nasty stretch, his brand new turnouts were completely black from blood. About how I didn’t recognize him and hid behind my mother’s leg when he came home after months on the line one fire season.

And this shit did take a toll. I’ve seen a lot of his anger, his inability to cry or mourn even when his father died, his tendency to fly into fire captain mode over even really mild emergencies. He couldn’t even finish the movie Seabiscuit because he couldn’t stomach the kid dying in the beginning of the film. Watching similar struggles of Bobby’s character, the PTSD, and the situations that contribute to it, is making me appreciate the life he lead in a way that not even being a nurse can.

Anyway I don’t expect anyone is particularly interested in this. I’m in season 2, and just a little surprised by the way this show is hitting me and just sorta needed to reflect on it.

If anyone is also in emergency/medical (or has a loved one who is) and has had similar experiences watching this show I’d be interested in hearing from you.

"It's so clear to me that people who say we should have more patience and compassion for young homophobes are coming from a place of sympathy for the young homophobes and not for the young homosexuals"

Not that same anon, but didn't you just reblog this? Does make it seem like you're agreeing she's being deeply homophobic as a motivation. Ppl are being really misogynistic to her on anon but that's not your problem. It does seem like you're saying homosexuals have a right to be annoyed at this situation, but bisexuals don't have a right to be annoyed at their rape statistics being belittled, and that the woman that said those things is not a misogynist because you find her and her core message admirable. If that's not what you meant to express in both cases, I don't think you expressed it very well.

I did reblog that. Because I believe it generally, not just in response to one post on tumblr. As I said in my own post, the idea of “be nice to homophobes, they have good intentions/don’t know better” is common. Whether it be religious homophobes who “are just following what their religion tells them! Don’t be so hard on them!” Or elderly people who “grew up in a different time, it’s not their fault”, or regular ignorant people who “just haven’t really been exposed to that stuff, cut them some slack”…or yes, TRA homophobes of all ages who “are just following the dominant ideology!” (Reminds me a lot of the arguments in favour of religious homophobes).

I understand that post was a response to the other post, but I also understood it to be speaking to the problem in general. Which, as I said in my own post, is the reason that post struck a nerve with homosexuals. Because it’s the same shit we hear all the time—that we have to be sympathetic to homophobes because “they don’t know any better”.

I also understood that post to not be saying “people who do this are homophobic!!! Shameeee!!!”…but simply saying they’re coming from a place of sympathy for homophobes instead of sympathy for homosexuals. Which, yes, is homophobic, but different from being a raging homophobe like you think I’m accusing the OP of being (I’m not). Many people’s thoughts (again, not just a tumblr user) regarding homophobia are to sympathise with the homophobe before the homosexual. The thought process is “well, they don’t know any better, sucks you have to experience their bigotry but try to be easy on them, they’re doing their best” which gets really frustrating. Because the first thought is to justify the homophobia, not to protect the homosexual from it.

No, I don’t think the OP was purely homophobic in her motivations, and as I said I agree that when it comes to kids, the approach from adults needs to be different than it would be with other adults. I don’t think she should be being targeted with misogyny. But I’m also just kind of tired of constantly seeing reasons why gay people shouldn’t be so angry with homophobes.

On another note….I find it really weird that people keep bringing up me supporting the message of one misogynistic lesbian a while ago (which I explicitly critiqued when I reblogged it) whenever I critique something else. I don’t think I ever said bi women don’t have a right to be upset at rape statistics being belittled???? Or that I didn’t think that woman was being misogynistic??? As I’ve said before, if people can keep bringing up me saying “she does have a point with the core message here despite her misogyny” and acting like it makes me a terrible person, I’d like to point out that OSA radfems on here actually worship and idolise lesbophobe Andrea Dworkin and never get any slack for it. But a lesbian agrees with another lesbian talking about a specific type of lesbophobia, and “ohhhh we must send angry anons about it because that lesbian was misogynistic and none of her words can ever be listened to!!! Btw read this Dworkin excerpt! Never mind the beastiality talk that’s vaguely racist and the incest talk haha”

And guess what, I also like things Dworkin has said. She has some brilliant points and I plan on reading some of her works because I like the excerpts I’ve seen. Because no, I don’t think we should throw a whole work out because of distasteful opinions of the creator. I myself have reblogged Dworkin quotes, I’m sure more than I’ve reblogged quotes from lesbians perpetuating misogyny…yet I’ve never once gotten anons saying “oh wow, so you clearly support political lesbianism”. This tells me that everyone does agree with me about taking the good parts and discarding the bad parts…but only when it comes to OSA women. Lesbians must never be granted that grace and instead their work must be thrown out if it isn’t a paragon of morality.

Kratos and Faye? And Kratos and Frejya

Fayetos (Faye/Kratos)

They literally make me insane. I love them. They literally are fucking color matching (Faye wears yellow/gold & has red hair, Kratos wears red & has yellow/gold eyes? & their kid wears both of their colors? Oh my fucking god). Their stories parallel each other & have dealt in war & rage & anger & forgiveness. I can't go on too much here bc I'll literally write an essay about how good they are for each other. I love them, your honor.

& Freya/Kratos..

I don't ship them romantically, I literally don't see it. They're just best friends who act like exes to me. I LOVE them as best friends. They've never been married, but they act like a divorced couple sometimes. I also hc Freya to be a Lesbian hehe. At most, maybe in a bi Freya situation, I can maybe see them having sex one time & usually in the context of Freya wanting a kid & Kratos agreeing to be a surrogate, but they're not in love or together as a couple. I also just don't think Freya could ever get together with Kratos for what he did to Baldur, there'd always be that wall there. I also just don't like the idea that Kratos has to be shipped with the main female character his age.

1. How long have y’all been radical feminists?

exactly a year!

2. What ‘radicalized’ you?

nothing really "radicalized" me; i NEVER bought into the trans narrative. even when i was a kid i was like "there is no fucking way people think you can change your sex". i never stomached the pronouns bs either (if i see a corny vid on my tiktok fyp 99% of the time they have pronouns in their bio so i just block them. can't deal w ts), and i've always hated plastic surgery and the idea of mutilating yourself to be prettier + some other rf ideas.

peaked because the trans shit is fucking everywhere and it was driving me insane how stupid people could be and the lengths they'll go to to virtue signal. i'm whasian and pass so much as mexican some people even come up to me and speak spanish - if i changed my name and learned spanish, would that make me mexican? hell no.

i knew what terfs were but assumed they were right wing weirdos, but atp i was just so done and needed some sanity so i searched up "radical feminism" on pinterest. i expected just right-wing raging anti-trans stuff and was ready to just block out all the conservative bs but i was like hold on... HOLD ON... anti-sex work anti-makeup anti-plastic surgery where has this been all my life? like never before had something truly put all i'd felt into words and made so much sense

3. Do you consider yourself a terf?

used to be wishy-washy on this, but i've settled on that "TERF" was a word made by TRAs & meant to be derogatory. being a radfem entails being "trans-exclusionary" as TRA's define it, or else you're just an extreme liberal feminist. so i just call myself a radfem

4. Have you ever (or currently) identified as transgender?

absolutely not. biology was always my best science class

5. What is your sexuality? If attracted to males, do you consider yourself a separatist or are you still open to being with males (or do you have a boyfriend/husband currently)?

bi but i don't see myself ever with a man bc they never fail to disappoint. e.g. there's a kid i know who is incredibly sweet and kind, to the point where it used to make me lowkey emotional bc i was like "jesus do men like him rly exist?" but then he did a project lowkey demonizing amber heard. so

6. What is your opinion on makeup? Do you still wear it?

100000% hate it so much and seeing girls wear it hurts me physically. the fact that we're conditioned from birth to wear it so we can be beautiful bc that's our purpose in life...hrngh. in 2020 i wore eyeliner a few times because everyone else was but then my stepdad laughed at me so never again. in hindsight that was a good thing LOL & i sometimes wore mascara in 2019 but it stained my glasses when i used to wear them so dropped that too. i'd never rly felt the need to wear makeup even before peaking, and haven't worn it since 2020 (one & only exception is when i did a photoshoot in china in traditional chinese clothes)

7. What is your opinion on ‘sex work’? Have you ever done ‘sex work’?

used to disagree w/ it when i was a kid, then choice feminists on tiktok made me hesitate and think "well... i guess it's progressive to support sex work so..." it always made me uneasy seeing choice feminists praise it but i just ignored that until i peaked and immediately despised it. i hated hasan before he said rich women deserve to be raped because he went to a red light district in the netherlands. just no way to ever excuse prostitution. i saw a vid where this guy interviewed 3 sex workers in LA and one said she'd been doing it since she was 12 & all 3 said they make themselves look young intentionally bc it gets them more buyers. they had dreams of moving on and opening bakeries and stuff and it broke my heart

8. What is your opinion on pornography? Did you ever watch it in the past?

i watched hentai & read it... I WAS ELEVEN and should not have been consuming it at all. hentai is way worse holy fuck i wish i'd watched porn instead but i thought it was too fleshy and weird. hentai... all i have to say is japanese men are horribly fucked up and i think reading so much of the most deplorable shit ever has damaged my psyche irreversibly. also why i think gen alpha will be fucked up because they have unrestricted internet access from birth

9. What is your opinion on the hijab? Are you a muslim/ex muslim?

never agreed with it & i'm ex-christian! then my lame ass corny fucking liberal world history teacher in 6th grade gave a whole speech and was like "well during a normal convo some men just stare at ur boobs and not ur face so by wearing the hijab u protect against it!" so i was like "ig... it's progressive..." nah fuck that shit and it pisses me off when i see it in western countries bc a woman will be in a full burqa next to her husband in a t-shirt and shorts. seeing more women in malaysia wear the hijab hurts me & all these hijabi influencers who blur their faces and every part of their body like holy shit how can you think this is right?

10. Do you still do some of the things you criticize? (Shaving, makeup, etc)

yes 🥲 i shave my legs when i wear shorts & i never wear tank-tops or anything that could show my pits. i did stop waxing the hair above my lips and my knuckle hair tho & i'm never shaving my armpits again because there is no discomfort worse than stubby, regrowing hair poking you. i never was aware of my hair or that it was bad to have until i raised my hand in 5th grade and the guy next to me said "ew you have armpit hair"; the next day i shaved it off. then in 10th grade a guy said he saw my moustache so i bought wax to wax it off. never again. trying to build up more confidence to just quit completely

11. What is your opinion on Gender vs. Sex?

the average radfem idea that gender isn't real & needs to be abolished but sex is real. side tangent, went on r/lgbt and some person was like "how do i define 'woman' to transphobes" and the comments were like "there is no definition :)" and "ask them to define a chair and if they can't exclude something u win" really amazing work from them as always. truly intelligent

12. Are you anti-capitalist?

i'd say so? don't know much about capitalism as in what it entails

13. What country (or continent) are you from?

'murica

14. What is a topic you wished more radfems would talk about?

cant think of anything rn but i don't see age gaps spoken about a lot. edit: i saw someone else's reblog and i agree that we need to coordinate more in-person groups and events!! desperately so!!

15. Does anyone in your life know you’re a radfem?

my best friends both know! one is wishy-washy bc her cousin's dating a TIM and she is weirdly angry about body hair and adores makeup, & the other is wishy-washy in that i don't think she can feel strongly about anything LOL she also started wearing makeup recently but she agrees with 95% of radfem ideology

Sorry if this is weird - but can we get The Star Seven and where they fall on the LGBT spectrum? :3 Or physical/mental illness N stuff? (Also you're my favorite fanfic author of all time! Ur so cool <3 )

Oh my GODDDDDDDD FIRST OF ALL!!!

Tysm I’m fucking losing my shit at being someone’s favorite fanfic author!!! And I am ALWAYS down to go stupid abt OrangeJuiceVerse oh my fuck.

Also!!!! There is not a single neurotypical mf in the entire 7!!! These bitches are soooo out here terrorizing any therapist they try to go to. So to start Off.

Kyle. That little I Learned Something Today Ass Bitch is SO fuckin gay!!! Like he realized as a preteen that he he didn’t actually like women like that (no wonder he’s Maidenless smh) and he was like OH! Bc the way he felt abt Stan was soooo homiesexual dear lord he whole ass kept it to himself for way too long. He’s also on the ace spectrum, bc as a demi loser, I feel like he’s demi idc. Like this man fr thought porn was something only referenced in movies and then Kenny showed him some shit and he was like WHAT THE GODDAMN HELL IS THIS rip same Ky. As for mental illnesses and such, aside from being Down Horrendous for the sbf, this poor guy is sooo fucked in the brain. So he’s got awful anxiety, borderline obsessive compulsive tendencies, a fucking eating disorder (for a lil while in hs, he’s mentally fine in that department during most of the ojv), some kinda martyr complex. And physically? Mans a mess. Type 1 diabetes, absolute shit immune system, chronic issues with his left knee, probably anemia, on the verge of developing early onset arthritis when he gets older bc he fucked his body up with the ed, he’s STRUGGLING. He’s also stubborn as fuck and has frequently passed out because he didn’t want to check his levels. He gets in trouble with literally everyone for that.

STAN!!! Jesus this poor boy. My absolute Bi King!!! (Kyle may be the one biking around town bc his road rage is so godawful but Stan is the BI-king) yeah I’m a bi Stan believer bc this man is a HUGE simp!!! Ohhhh my god this boy when he was younger he’d see someone pretty and be SO down bad. But the only person he ever was actually good at being in a relationship with was Kyle. Stanley Down Bad Marsh, since the moment he knew what beauty was, beauty was Kyle. He did have a crush on Wendy in 4th grade, but then he was like kyyyylllleee. (Jail to stan). God his brain is so fucked. First of all RANDY is his father so he’s got trauma out the wazzoo, he’s an alcoholic, and he’s so plagued with adhd and dyslexia like pack it up Percy Jackson (he’s so Percy coded argue w the wall) plus this guy is depressed as hellllll. Oh my fuck Sadsack is real his lows are LOW and Kyle has threatened him with his therapist friends before. He’s doing better later down the timeline, thank you aa, oh yeah there’s the alcoholism too, but he’s the support group KING my darling boy ojv stan!!!

Kenny. Ok man the Kenny Of It All is sooooo bizarre. So he is immortal, but no one knows except for Marj! This takes such a mental toll on him, this guy is out here fully discombobulated bc he just came back from a rebirth and everyone’s like oh hey Ken where’d u go yesterday. His deaths have gotten less frequent as he grows up, but tbh he is still veeeerrry prone to bouts of depression and anxiety because of them, especially when he feels forgotten. I delved into that here and a tiny bit here, his mentality honestly can’t really be put into words. Like his brain doesn’t make sense even to himself. ALSO!!! He is THE Pan Without A Plan he’s so all over the place if you put him in the same room with Stan (his Blood Brother In Desperation, his Ride Or Die Disaster Bi), someone’s comin out in need of an emergency room.

Tweek!!!!! Dude Tweek that poor kid. Addiction, ocd, anxiety, the guys got it all. Also, another bitch on the ace spectrum? Yep. Homoromantic for sure, and closer to the sex-repulsed side of things.

Craig is an enigma dude, like this mf is so nonchalant about everything until he isn’t, the typa man to just casually drop some random piece of lore and you’re just like BRUH TF?!? Smh but anyway so he’s autistic, diagnosed as a kid when his parents were like our son got something goin on, and then everyone in his life was like ohhhh that makes sense. He gets kind of violent in his meltdowns, punching walls and shit, and he’s SCARY!! Not because he’s trying to be, like OrangeJuiceVerse Craig is such a softie, but he’s also scary looking! Like he’s 6’4 and long as hell, resting bitch face, he’s honestly kind of terrifying until you get used to him. He’s got the most absurd dry sense of humor though omg he and Kyle have this stupid “we can be assholes for fun” vibe. He’s a full blown gay ass dude btw.

MARJORINE MY BELOVED! She doesn’t label herself really, she just knows she loves Kenny, and her heart is so big like Love Is Stored In The Marj (unfortunately she’s also the queen of mlms and has had multiple pick me phases smh gullible queen). So she ALSO is autistic, and omg she’s a lot of the reason Kyle switched his major from premed to psych. I’ve mentioned before the m5 living together the first year of college and one time Marj had a bit of a problem at a karaoke bar with Stan and Stan my precious sweetheart IMMEDIATELY brought her to Ky (Kenny had studio hours) and Kyle’s letting her braid his hair and he’s helping her through her meltdown and she’s like “you should really do this as your job”. She was right. Kyle’s fantastic at what he does.

Jesus fuckin Christ Cartman. No one knows what the hell his sexuality is. He won’t tell you. He won’t disclose his pronouns either. (Tbh this mf never fully figures out his sexuality or gender he’s just vibin and also doesn’t care.) Also bruhhhh he’s such a disaster mentally. He’s been on a cocktail of meds since middle school for schizophrenia, sociopathic personality disorder, bpd, poor dudes got too damn much going on. BUT he’s relatively stable from like 6th grade onwards. Just an asshole for fun and out of habit. (OJV Cartman is so much fun to me)

OKAY! Dude you have no idea how excited I was to get this ask I’ve wanted to talk abt what the OJV Star Seven have goin on mentally foreeeevvvver!!!

Any curiosities someone has about OrangeJuiceVerse or ANY of my other stuff PLEASE ask me about whatever! I am super annoying and Weird!!!

I have a wide variety of characters who are my favorites for many reasons. But the ones I keep rotating are Lois Lane, Tegan Jovanka, and Donna Noble because they're incredibly fascinating characters.

Like... Lois for instance, it depends on the portrayal, but in any case she is in a very male dominated profession and is still top of her field anyways because she acts like she doesn't give a shit. She gives a shit, she's someone who fights like hell for the right thing. She's the literally embodiment of that Captain America and Peggy Carter quote about 'No you move'. She cares a hell of a lot, more than she'll ever really let on or be able to express because her childhood was... messed up. Again, depends on continuity exactly, but she basically is the one who raised her sister. She had to be responsible for things that she shouldn't have had to be responsible for as a kid and her response was to make Shawn Spencer like quips and cracks to hide the insecurities. So most people don't look deeper than that, she seems very sure of herself, she seems self-confident... she's not. She's more used to putting others before herself, almost recklessly so.

Or Donna... Look, I love Sylvia, she's clearly a decent person to have had a hand in raising someone as amazing as Donna, but she's also shown to be a nag. To criticize Donna over far too many things, given that when we meet Donna as a series regular after Runaway Bride you literally see her tune out her mother because she's going on about things Donna has probably heard a hundred times and then proceeding to go check on Wilf out on the hill where he's stargazing because she'd rather be there with someone who will just Be instead of getting on her case, again. Donna's probably the one companion out of the Tenth Doctor era with the broadest range of skills, this woman has done a wide variety of work and is good at it. She actually brags about how fast she can type, plop that woman in front of a computer and tell her what you need her to do, and she can figure it out. I mean this woman memorized the Dewey Decimal System in like a couple days... I get the feeling the classes she did best in were related to math in some way. And her self-worth is in the goddamn toilet, I mean this woman on at least two separate occasions, to the Doctor's face, has asked why she's important. She yells, she's loud to hide the fact that she doesn't think she's all that important. Oh she'll use her White Woman Yelling superpowers for good, like raging against injustice or more recently, fighting for her daughter, but she's also just going 'No you don't get to see any deeper than this'.

And then Tegan... Look I don't know a whole lot of her backstory, and like most of Classic Who it's gonna vary quite a bit depending on exactly what source you look at, but she's somewhere between Donna and Lois in terms of her self esteem and assorted insecurities. She's not shy about her opinions, but she also sometimes goes too far. But she'd rather not have to have people look too closely because that would mean actually letting them get to know her. She's someone who's been burned before, maybe even by some of her family. And that's not even touching on the fact that some of this comes from the internalized queerphobia... because that's a whole other load of baggage to unpack (I'm using queer because I'm not entirely clear on if she's Bi or Gay, because Doctor Who canon is a pick your own adventure book. For all I know she uses a term she picked up from Nyssa or the Doctor). But she's snarky and surly and often yells to hide how deeply insecure she really is. She's easily as compassionate as Donna, but she won't let onto that unless the situation calls for it. She'll also use the excuse of professional distance because I'd bet before getting the flight attendant job she did some other customer service jobs, the ease in which she switches to that professional courtesy and then being grumpy two seconds later when it's just her and Nyssa, Adric and the Doctor isn't something she learned overnight.

“Hey Tony, I think you should check this out,” Steve walked in the lab looking like a terrified little boy. 

Steve handed him the phone and on it was a six second clip of you and Peter giggling. The catch is Peter's has a raging boner poking through his hardly there boxers and the excuse piece of lace that one would call lingerie also left little to nothing to the imagination for you. 

You were walking slowly to Peter who sat on the bed. You slowly dropped to your knees and Tony's eyes practically bulged out of his face. Right before you pulled his boxers down the video stopped. Tony dropped the phone staying still as a statue. Complete and utter shock was the only thing to describe his expression. 

“What the hell is this?” he said slowly, but terrifyingly. 

“It’s uh, it’s Y/n and Peter-”

“Parker! L/n!” Tony screamed at the top of his lungs.

“Thank god, we put that preview on Twitter and not on Instagram. We’ve gotten like a thousand new subscribers since,” you giggled laying on your stomach on the bed. 

“I told you it was gonna work,” Peter came up to and kissed the top of your head.

“Can we go shopping later today? There’s a lot of people asking if we can do like a red and blue lingerie shoot together-”

“Parker! L/n!” Tony’s muffled screams interrupted you. 

“What’s going on?” Peter asked. 

“I don’t know.”

You and Peter walked downstairs and walked into the lab where Tony stood glaring daggers at you two once you showed up. Nat followed behind you as did Bucky, Sam, and Wanda confused by Tony’s sudden anger especially towards you two. You two were his pride and joy of the team. Like his adoptive children, well you’re not exactly children anymore. 

“What’s going on?” Peter asked.

“Why are you screaming?” Nat followed up sitting on one of the tables.

“What the hell is this?” Tony handed you two the phone.

“Oh, that’s our OnlyFans promo,” you said casually.

“You’re what?”

“OnlyFans,” Peter said.

“What the hell is OnlyFans?” Tony said, still visibly upset.

“Well, people subscribe to whatever account they see fit for profit I guess and you get to see whatever we post on our page. We do a lot of shoots and ads on there and on Instagram sometimes but if you pay us more money you can unlock more photos and videos of us. We posted that so we can get more subs,” you explained.

“I still don’t get why you two were- Argh!” Tony couldn’t even say it, he was so in shock. 

“Yeah, it’s really true when they say sex sells,” you laughed making the others laugh too. Unbeknownst to Tony and Steve, the rest of the team already knew about your OnlyFans. They all subscribed but everybody expected Nat don’t pay further considering they work with you and watching you two fondling each other wasn’t particularly desirable. Nat didn’t give a shit though and bought everything, she’s even shot you guys. 

“It’s not like this is particularly a secret. They posted about starting one like four months ago on Insta,” Nat pulled up the post about your announcement.

“Four months! And you all knew about this?” Tony looked to everyone and they all sheepishly nodded.

“We thought you knew,” Wanda said.

“I didn’t know!”

“I can’t believe you two are doing porn,” Tony pinched his nose.

“It’s all consensual and none of our stuff is being trafficked or sold illegally. Everything goes through us and we’ve made tons of money,” you told him.

“How much?” Steve asked curiously.

“Uh, maybe about six hundred thousand this week?” Peter shrugged. 

“What!” Everyone shouted simultaneously. 

“Yeah, that post really got people all hot and bothered. Also the pic of me sucking-”

“Stop!”

“I was gonna say lollipop,” you rolled your eyes.

“Oh the one with the baby pink two piece and skirt?” Wanda asked.

“Yeah,” you smiled.

“Oh, I liked that one,” Bucky said.

“The donut,” Sam laughed as did everyone else and Steve and Tony stood there completely clueless because they hadn’t seen the picture. 

“I can’t,” Tony sighed dramatically.

“Tones, I get that you’re worried about them but they’re fine. They’re one of the highest paid accounts on the website.”

“They’re kids,” Tony whined.

“Uh, I’m twenty one,” you snickered.

“And I’m twenty three,” Peter said after.

“I don’t care!” Tony cried.

“Where can I subscribe?” Steve whispered to Bucky not so quietly making you and Peter laugh. 

“Steve!”

“What?”

“Ugh! Go! I don’t want to hear about this anymore. Promise me you guys are being safe?” Tony asked sincerely.

“We promise,” you both crossed your hearts.

“Alright, get out!”

Everyone scurried out and Steve’s eyes stayed glued to his phone. You looked at Peter who scrunched his face and pouted but nodded his head with a lazy thin smile.

“Hey Steve, if you’re ever up for it, I’m sure a lot of people would love to see a bit of Captain America’s little soldier. Or big soldier from what I can see through those sweats,” you winked, before scurrying away with Peter who grinned cheekily at him.

“Fuck.”
