Ooooh good Eric Taylor speech overlaying a montage like damn that speech got ME pumped up like YEAH WE CAN BEAT THE DILLION PANTHERS I BELIEVE IT
“It’s bad enough having to read this gibberish, let alone having to do it in front of you.” Oh Tami my heart!! Eric offering to make her a cup of coffee. Oh relationship goals!
Ew Landry bragging about his demo is like the opposite of hot to me but I’ve made my feelings clear on this already lol. “songs for Jess,” dude tryna be maroon 5 this is cringe
Oh SHIT Jess came out and said it with her feelings for Vince!!! Yeah. Ok yeah saw that coming, can’t say I’m mad.
Saracen and Julie catching up while shopping in the grocery store also while Julie is clearly upset is A Lot. Phewww!
“You know, most people tell their girlfriends when they leave and say goodbye.” Fair! “I needed to get out of here. If I tried to say goodbye to you, I never would’ve left.” AGH 🥺
oh WOW Saracen bought her a ticket to see his apartment in Chicago? Ok, making some amends, I see you!
Oh no this love triangle is gonna affect the East Dillon gameplay!!!
Oh Tami’s not gonna be able to do it, is she?YESSSSS gurl !!! Sticking to your principles, you are the most badass lady!!

They’re gonna make her get fired on the Saturday after thanksgiving? Fucking cold anti choice assholes.
Damn this is really a bottom of the barrel moment for Tim if even Becky thinks he’s trash. He did it for such honorable reasons tho UGH

And Eric wanted to make sure Vince had somewhere to go awww
Lol @ Mrs. Saracen loving the deep fried turkey

This is one tense thanksgiving, they do such a good job of showing each character silently brewing in the issue plaguing them.
Way to interrupt the turkey argument for that nice— albeit sad—toast, billy! “I don’t know where I’d be without y’all.” 🥺
Aww seeing Vince and his mom eat food the Merriweathers brought them warms my heart too! Aw and Jess is here with pie? So fucking cute.
Tim wanting to fight to keep becky’s friendship after Billy’s toast is super precious.

My heart that Matt got to watch Landry do that!!!
Tami congratulating Eric on the field!
Damn Sammy Meade ate shit and said he was almost converted to a Lions fan AND applauded Eric Taylor’s leadership? Love this shot of Eric in the car hearing that with a shit-eating grin on his face.
Yesss go head up the counseling program at East Dillon, Tami! Love that journey for you.
“So why are we here, Matthew?” “Because this is our special spot.” “Because you DEFLOWERED me here?” “well I wouldn’t use those words necessarily but...yeah.” LMAO
Aw “you’re a hard person to stay mad at” and omg yay he’s finally apologizing. The communication they needed.
Damn Julie saying you can’t go bc you have to find your own Chicago and you wouldn’t want to leave Chicago if he was there??? GROWTH. I’m very pleased that they finally talked that out.
Ugh I knew Tim was gonna fall on the sword for Billy!!! What a guy 🥺 he just wants Billy and Mindy and their son to be together omfg the tears!!! The emotion! The fact that this all happened bc they couldn’t afford Mindy’s medical bills!!!
I love Landry saying “oh whatever” and letting Matt in but YES MATT APOLOGIZE TO YOUR FRIEND. We love friendship.
Tim turning himself in, my heart.

🎂☆ Jason Todd Birthday Week ☆ Aug 16th - JASON’S BIRTHDAY
Dickface Grayson: what do u want for ur bday baby bro?
RedNerd: a big booty hoe
Spawn: same
Wiffle: sksks DAMIAN
The family group chat is usually rather annoying. No one sleeps and no one has boundaries or tact so there’s always three hundred messages and long ass tangents (courtesy of Tim, Damian and sometimes Duke) for Jason to read over his morning coffee.
It’s a big thorn in his ass.
But it’s routine. He’s grown to expect it like he anticipates sunrise, it’s become one of those things on his mental checklist that he can never forget. Those morons keep finding more and more opportunities to weasel their way into his life and it’s so goddamn irritating that he loves it.
Which is why the lack of notifications he wakes up to makes his skin itch in an unscratchable way. His first instinct is to assume something’s wrong because there’s nothing beside that one question from Dick. But as he replies, Damian and Stephanie’s responses follow immediately— he finds relief in knowing their fine but his confusion grows.
He realizes he’s bored.
He has a three day stretch of no plans and he’s so freaking bored he kind of wants to claw his eyes out.
Dickface Grayson: i told y’all asking him wouldn’t work
Dickface Grayson: i. told. y’all.
Timbits: stop with the y’alls
Wiffle: y? cuz it reminds u of connor?
Timbits: fuck off
Wiffle: bite me
Babs: I say, we go with the original plan
Duke☀️: but how are we going to get him to go willingly go to a party?
Spawn: we could knock him out
Timbits: NO
Spawn: and just carry him there
Timbits: Damian I swear to GOD
Dickface Grayson: why can’t we do the surprise party
Wiffle: cuz he’d hate it
Wiffle: and he’d kill us
🐥Cass: let’s just get him a cupcake and call it a day
Spawn: i second that
Spawn: or we could get him an escort
Babs: DAMIAN
Spawn: put it on father’s card
Timbits: as much as I would LOVE to see that
Timbits: we can’t
🐥Cass: add it to the list for next yr dames
Babs: I have work to do, you guys plzzz come up with something.
Dickface Grayson: good luck babs
Dickface Grayson: I say party
Wiffle: i’m going with Cass and the cupcake
🐥Cass: ^^
Dickface Grayson: Damian I see you typing. Don’t say it.
Timbits: he’s Jason guys. he doesn’t want the attention of having to blow out a candle and listen to us butcher happy bday
Timbits: we need something he’d like
Wiffle: let’s just give him his presents
Wiffle: they’re all books anyway
🐥Cass: books and cupcakes
Spawn: no that’s stupid
🐥Cass: ur stupid
Spawn: ur stupider
Wiffle: Tim’s stupidest
Timbits: blocked
Dickface Grayson: CHILDREN
Dickface Grayson: babs will murder us if we don’t come up with something
Timbits: I mean…. she’ll muder you
Spawn: muder
🐥Cass: muder
Wiffle: STUPIDEST
Jason calls Alfred, texts Bruce and leaves a long winded voicemail for Barbra. She replies with three smiley face emojis and then a voice note of her reminding him that his has three days off for his birthday specifically for resting, to stop worrying about everybody else. She’s stern and sure and he knows it’s pointless to argue.
Alfred had been vague too and Bruce hadn’t replied— with all his sources dry, Jason’s left pouting in his apartment, bored out of his mind. He keeps opening and closing his apps to see if there’s been updates.
There isn’t.
RedNerd: why are you guys so AWOL
Timbits: we’re giving u a break hbd loser
RedNerd: shady
Timbits:🙃
Timbits: i’m disowning Steph
RedNerd: i’m on her side whatever it is
Timbits: traitor
RedNerd: 🙃
Jason sighs languidly. He flicks his phone to the side and watches it bounce off the couch. There’s a full five seconds in which he allows himself to release his boredom in a long, guttural groan and then he’s diving after it to check the screen. It’s not broken. He resolutes himself to reading as all else fails.
Timbits: Jay’s getting antsy
Dickface Grayson: ughh
Wiffle: what r we gonna do?
Spawn: yk
Wiffle: Damian
Spawn: shut up Brown, I was going to say that Duke had an idea.
Wiffle: oh
Wiffle: what’s ur idea sunshine?
Duke☀️: I never volunteered
Wiffle: I’m starting to like the escort thing so plz
Duke☀️: fine
Duke☀️: I’ll invite him to the manor to play PUBG
Duke☀️: no party
Duke☀️: and then we do family dinner and have Alfred make a cake
Dickface Grayson: that’s simple enough
Wiffle: and Alfie makes the cake he’ll have no choice but to accept it
Babs: good work team
Duke☀️: team?
Babs: Good Work Sunshine ☀️💛💛
He’s cleaning his kitchen for the third time when his phone vibrates. A plate is almost dropped in his haste to get to it.
Duke☀️: PUBG. Pizza. Manor?
RedNerd: yessss
The manor’s dead silent when he steps into the threshold. Alfred slips out of the kitchen to bid him a quick hello, hands him two boxes of pizza (one extra cheese and the other sausage and peppers) and shoos him up the stairs.
“You look like shit,” is what Duke says in greeting. He already has the controllers and television set up. Jason feels a little like he’s found bliss.
“I’m losing it, man. No patrol and shit for three days? I’m going to die. Again.”
“Yeah cuz I’m about to kick your ass. Hand me my pizza and sit down.”
“It’s on, sunshine.”
Dickface Grayson: Duke has him in the den. we’re jist gonna ease in one by one. Alfred’ll bring the cake, we’ll do presents and then it’s done
Wiffle: sounds good chief
Timbits: is my pizza here?
Spawn: no one ordered for you
Duke☀️: yh it’s in the kitchen.
Timbits: right, expect me first.
They play four rounds until Jason’s spent most of his pent up energy on killing opponents. Duke gets better every time he plays and he works well with Jason’s style. It reminds him that they should team up more for patrol.
Damian slinks in on his toes right as they start the fifth. He’s got a box of pizza balanced in one hand and Alfred the cat tucked under the other.
“Todd,” is all he says before plopping down on the opposing sofa.
Tim wanders in after, barefooted and rumpled. He opens his mouth to say something, spots Damian and snaps it shut. He makes a noise that reminds Jason of a busted engine. He doesn’t know what that’s about, he doesn’t want to know either.
“Timbo, take this.” He passes him the controller and yanks his skinny frame down with one arm. “Play for me so I can eat.”
“Cheating,” Duke intones.
“It’s my birthday, I can do what I want to.” They all visibly stiffen at the words. He continues, speaking quickly around a mouthful of pizza. “And also. You guys have been really weird all day. What have you been up to?”
The response is a three tiered chorus of, “Nothing.”
“The group chat was dead quiet.”
Tim is stuttering something out when Damian drops a “I wish it was,” under his breath.
Nobody says anything. He chews, swallows and waits for them to fill the silence.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
“Do you guys have another group chat?”
“No.”
“Why would we?”
“Yes.”
Jason’s braces himself to be as offended as he possibly can when three things happen in the space of a minute.
Tim throws a slice of pizza at Damian while Duke ducks between the cushions. The ensuing fight is so loud Jason can’t hear himself think.
Dick and Cass come stumbling through the doors with Stephanie tailing behind them— their all singing “happy birthday.” Alfred— bless him— is following along with a small sponge cake adorned with lit candles. He makes it one foot into the room before there’s a loud splatter, a scream and shouted curse.
There’s a controller in the cake.
Dick and Steph are on the ground trying to pull a shocked Damian and Tim apart while Duke sinks further between the upholstery.
“Jason,” Cass crosses around the disaster zone. She offers him a hand and gives him a firm shake. “Happy Birthday.”
“Thank you.” He’s still stunned, gaping down at her like a confused goldfish.
“These are for you.”
It’s a pile of hard copy classics secured by a gold ribbon. A tiny bite size cupcake sits on top.
“Thanks Cass. I really appreciate it.”
She hums, casts a glare at Damian and sways out of the room.
“Well,” Alfred snaps. “I’m going to clean this buttercream off of me while you all fix this ...mess. Master Jason, it appears I owe you a cake.”
“It’s fine, Alfie.”
Dick slams his fist to the floor, fuming. “ It’s not.”
“It’s ok—“
“Jay we’ve been trying to plan something special for you all day. This was the best we could do— just us, just a cake and some presents— and we found a way to screw it up.”
“That’s what the other group chat was for.”
Tim chimes in, rolling out of the chokehold Damian has him in.
He sees the guilt hanging around the dropped corners of their mouths like anchors. So that’s why they were so unattached, they were just being annoying amongst themselves.
“This is….it’s great actually. That,” he points to Damian on the ground. “Was quality entertainment. Duke is still a PUBG genius, which it was nice to be reminded of and this—,” he raises the books and cupcake. “—is really all I need.”
He and Dick split half of Damian’s pizza out of sheer spite. Bruce comes in at some point to let them know Alfred’s making another cake and then he somehow gets sucked into a game of Super Mario. Later, they’ll all gather around in the kitchen to force feed Jason cake and watch him open presents. It’ll be quiet and intimate and just right for him.
He’s not bored to death anymore.
Tomorrow, he’ll wake up to four hundred messages in the group chat and the world will right itself.
Wiffle: We’re all going to remember what we’re getting Damian for his bday next yr, right?
Duke☀️: lessons in decorum
Timbits: tickets to the Crayola Experience?
Timbits: tickets to Sesame Street live?
Wiffle: no
Wiffle: a trip to Home Depot to get him a big ass hoe

Miley // th x fem!oc
Summary: Tom meets a singer at a club she’s performing at and she decides to take him home for the night. 
Part of my Drive North series; you can read the rest here. Feel free to listen to the song Miley by the SWMRs, as it is an inspiration for the story. Yes, they are singing about Miley Cyrus but Miley is an OFC here. 
Warnings: smut, nsfw, 18+ please, degradation kink, mild choking, dom!Tom (bc ooF), mentions of past drug and alcohol abuse, swearing
word count: 5.4k
Tom was on a small break from filming after the Spiderman: Far From Home premiere. Harrison had brought him to a small club, he said a band was playing he thought Tom would love. He was a few drinks in, hanging out at the bar while Harrison danced with a pretty girl. He heard the band make their way on stage and turned to watch them set up.
****
Miley lit up the blunt and took a drag of it before passing it to Billie, and they passed it to Rainne before Miley took the last drag.
“Alright, fuck pop on three,” she says, holding her hand in the middle as her bandmates followed suit.
“Fuck pop!” The cheered, tossing their hands up in the air, snickering as they left the backroom.
“Hey what’s up fuckers, it’s your least favorite band Cheeky Devils here, time to make some noise!” Miley says into the main microphone, a huge grin spreading across her face as the club cheers and shouts.
****
Holy fuck, Tom watched as the main singer spoke into the microphone. He tried to pay attention to what she said but he could only pay attention to her. She had bright pink hair, a ripped up Green Day T-shirt, a tight leather skirt, fishnet stockings, and leather boots. She had pink lipstick that just about matched her hair and the way she licked her lips as she talked drove him crazy.
He didn’t know who she was but he wanted to find out. He pulls out his phone and googles the band name and finds a website they have, advertising their music, posting upcoming gigs, talking about how each of them came to be in the band. He clicked on her profile, or at least he was pretty sure it was her, the hair in her picture was bright blue but her facial features were the same.
Hey whats up fuckers my names Miley, founder and lead singer of this lil group, just a group of folx trying to figure their lives out and making good music while they do it.
****
Miley was probably a little too high as she sang the chorus of their third song in the set, a little off rhythm and Billie could tell, giving her glances every so often as she jumped up and down, her hair getting stuck in her face.
She scanned the crowd to see if there was anyone she might want to bring home, feeling like it was going to be one of those nights.
It was pretty crowded, the dance floor full of people jumping up and down or grinding on each other. She noticed a few people sitting at the bar, one guy wasn’t paying too much attention, sitting on his phone. When he did look up, his eyes met hers and she let her eyes wander down his body, practically undressing him with her eyes as much as she could.
He was wearing a tight white T-shirt, his arms looked fucking perfect as he took a sip of his drink. He was wearing what looked like jeans that hugged his thighs so nicely she could ride them for days. She knew the weed was making her horny so she shook it off, putting her attention to the final part of the song, making the vocals perfect as it finished. They had another five songs in the set and they took a pause to all grab some water.
“How’s everyone doing tonight? Having fun?” Miley said, her voice rough from some of the shouted lyrics.
The crowd cheered as Rainne cued them for the start of the fourth song.
****
Tom couldn’t help but get hard when he saw the way Miley looked at him. The way her eyes scanned his body, the way she would still sing perfectly while focusing her attention on him.
He fiddled in his seat, downing the rest of his beer and motioning to the bartender for another one.
He scanned the crowd of people, looking for Harrison but noticing that he was nowhere to be found. He must’ve slipped out with whoever he was dancing with.
For the rest of their set Tom just watched, watched as Miley jumped up and down as she sang, her voice rougher and deeper as the night moved on. He smirked when he noticed her nipples through her shirt, not so subconsciously licking his lips.
****
As they finished their set Miley noticed the man licking his lips, his hand gripping his beer bottle so tight she thought it might break.
“Thank you London! Hope to see more of you all later!” Miley said as the crowd cheered, she set the microphone down and grabbed her water bottle finishing it off as her and her bandmates left the stage.
As they made their way back to their dressing room Billie elbowed her, “who were you eye fucking back there?”
“No idea,” Miley laughs, saying hi to some people who were standing around outside their dressing room.
“Can we get a picture with y’all?” A woman asks, eagerly holding up her phone.
“Sure, would love to,” Miley says as the three of them stand behind the woman and smile for her photo.
“Okay, Miley, you’re going to go out there and you’re going to find that guy and fuck him silly,” Billie says as they walk into the dressing room.
“Ughh, I don’t know if he’d be down for what I want,” Miley whines, flopping down on the couch.
“Well, you know what? You’ll never fucking know unless you get your ass out there and find out. And if he’s not down then you kick his ass out of your hotel room. Easy as that,” Billie says.
“Fine, but it’s a total bust I’m gonna kick your ass.”
“Oh it won’t be, I’ve got faith in you and whoever you decide to bring home.”
“Oh shut up, I’m gonna get a little more stoned first,” Miley said digging through her purse to find her dab pen. She took a few hits before tossing it back in her purse, standing up.
“I’ll see you all bright and early at 2pm tomorrow for our drive to the next show, don’t have too much fun fuckers,” Miley says as she left the dressing room.
****
Tom hung out at the bar after the set, finishing his beer and looking towards the hallway that went to what he assumed was the dressing room.
He watched as Miley came walking down the hallway, turning his head when he noticed her notice him staring.
He turned towards the bar and looked down the neck of his empty beer bottle, fingers tapping along the wood of the counter. She sat next to him, his eyes darted to her fingers which seemed to copy his movements, tapping along the counter.
“H-hi,” Tom stuttered out, shit, he’s never been this nervous trying to pick up a girl before.
He turned to face her, watching as she slowly smirked, “you talking to me?”
She still hasn’t turned in her seat, fingers creating a familiar beat against the counter.
“Yes.”
“Is there a reason you said hi or?”
“I, I wanted to say I really loved your set, those were all your songs?”
“Yeah, I wrote most of them, the rest of the band help me come up with the tunes and rhythms and shit.”
“So you’re a writer?”
“Nah, just song lyrics, nothing special,” Miley shakes her head, finally turning it to look at Tom.
She was a lot prettier up close, she only wore the bright pink lipstick, the rest of her face bare, she had lots of freckles which he wasn’t able to see while she was on stage.
“Gonna keep staring at me or say something?”
“Well what do you want me to do?”
“Nah, not how this works cutie, want someone to tell me what they want, what they’re going to do to me. So, you know my name? What’s yours?”
“Tom,” he says, turning his body towards her.
“So Tom, what are you going to do to me? If I think you’re worth my time.”
Tom’s whole demeanor changed, standing up and resting his hand on her opposite hip, his lips ghosting over her ear.
“Well, Miley, you’re the type of girl who’s a leader, who likes to be in charge out here, that’s why you’re being a little bit of a brat, but in the bedroom, oh sweetheart in the bedroom,” Tom says, “in the bedroom you want someone to take control, tell you what to do, make you feel everything and still leave you begging for more.”
She had tilt her head back a little, her hair pushed away from her neck, her eyes shut, imaging what Tom was saying.
“Go on Tom, how’d you make me feel everything?”
“Well Miley, I don’t know if you want me to tell you here, don’t want you to come in front of everyone, so why do I show you?” Tom whispers, his mouth ghosting over her neck now.
“Fuck, let’s get out of here Todd,” Miley grins standing up as Tom stood up with her.
“Hmm, try again sweetheart,” Tom says, pulling her flush against him.
“Tim?” Miley smirks, eyes looking wickedly up at Tom.
“Not quite,” he says, his hands grabbing her ass.
“Tom?”
“There ya go,” He says, pulling her with him towards the front door.
“Hotel’s only a block away,” Miley says as the quickly leave the club.
There was a line of people waiting to get in, a few people noticing the pair and taking pictures, shouting to them.
“Wait, how do they know you?” Miley asks, her brows furrowed.
“I’m full of surprises sweetheart,” Tom says, “lead the way.”
Miley all but drags Tom back to her hotel, his hands all over her, but never where she wanted them the most on the elevator ride up. She manages to unlock her door and he pushes her inside, slamming her back against the door.
“Fuck Tom, wanna show me what you’d do to me?” Miley says as Tom leaves rough marks down her neck.
“Patience sweetheart, come on, strip for me,” he says, stepping away from her.
She grins, walking towards the center of the room in front of the bed, pushing him to sit down on it.
She slowly unzipped her skirt, kicking off her boots while tugging the skirt down her legs.
“Take your time pretty girl, wanna see all of you,” Tom says, resting his hands behind him as he watched Miley strip.
She slowly pulls off the fishnet stockings, underneath was a black thong which left nothing to the imagination. She paused there, shrugging off her leather jacket and playing with her tits above her shirt before pulling it over her head.
“Wow pretty girl, those tits look even better in person. Couldn’t help but think you were teasing everyone when you were jumping up and down tonight, no bra on, could practically see your nipples through your shirt,” Tom says, wetting his lips.
“Had my eyes on you the whole night Tom,” Miley says, pulling her thong down and tossing it to the side.
“I saw the way you looked at me, stripping me with your eyes.”
“Wanna strip you for real,” Miley says, moving to straddle his lap.
“Nuh uh, baby girl,” Tom says, placing his hands on her hips and stopping her.
“What?”
“I think you deserve a punishment, for teasing me all night, for being a little brat,” Tom says and watches as Miley shudders, nodding.
“Anything you don’t want me to do, just tell me to stop okay?” He says, his hands maneuvering her so her cunt rested between his thighs, her upper body resting on the bed next to him.
“Okay Tom,” Miley says, wiggling her ass a little.
“Fuck, you really wanna get it don’t you?” He says, smacking her ass lightly.
“Fuck, come on Tom, show me you’ve got what I want,” Miley says, her hands digging into his leg.
“Don’t tell me what to do, that’s my job,” Tom says as his hand slaps her ass again, causing her to buck against him, “be still baby girl, gotta take your punishment like a good girl.”
“What if I don’t want to be a good girl?”
“Oh yeah? What would you want to be Miley?” Tom says, his hand colliding with her ass again.
“Fuck, Tom!” Miley cries out as he slaps her ass over and over again.
“What do you want to be Miley? Answer me,” Tom says, changing his rhythm, alternating slaps randomly so she never saw what would come next.
“Wanna be, oh fuck, wanna be your slut Tom,” Miley cries out as he pushes her thighs apart.
“Fuck, you’re practically drooling onto the bed for me Miley, such a dirty slut, thinking about what you want me to do to this dripping cunt huh?”
“Fuck, yes please Tom,” Miley says as his hand comes down to smack her cunt, a little lighter than his slaps to her ass. She bucks against him and moans into her arm, trying not to be too loud.
His hand wraps around her pink hair and tugs, forcing her to look up as his other hand slaps her cunt harder.
“Tom!” She cries out as he drops her hair, his hand moving to hold open her thighs.
“Why don’t you get on all fours for me pretty girl?” He says, slapping her ass before running a finger through her dripping cunt. He lets go of her and smirks as she scrambles up farther on the bed, moving to stick her red ass up and her head down.
“You were born to be like this huh, know this position well?” Tom asks, smirking as he moves behind her.
“Yes, fuck, Tom, my favorite position,” Miley whines as his finger slips between her folds, moving to rub her clit a little before pushing into her cunt.
“Take my finger so well, want another one?”
“Yes, please fuck me, please Tom, want another finger, please,” Miley groans as he pushes another finger alongside his first, feeling his jean covered legs rub against her thighs and sore ass.
“This feel good slut? Tell me when you’re going to come, wanna hear you loud and clear,” he says, his thumb rubbing harsh circles on her clit. His other hand holds her ass, switching between groping it and slapping it, watching it bounce as he fucked her with his fingers.
“Fuck, Tom gonna come, almost there,” Miley whines, fucking herself back on his fingers.
He quickly pulls his hands away from her, she could only feel his jeans rough against her as she whined.
“Only good girls get to come, and what are you Miley? Are you a good girl?”
“No, I’m, I’m your slut,” she whines, pushing back against nothing.
“Exactly,” Tom says, his hand trailing up her back to tug at her hair, pulling her back flush against his clothed chest, “and do sluts get to come?”
“No,” Miley stutters out as he drops her back down on the bed.
“Good, now you tell me when you’re close again, or else you’ll get in big trouble,” Tom says, the feeling of his jeans disappearing from her thighs, she turns her head to see him lying on his back, his head right underneath her pussy.
“Yes Tom, tell you when I’m close,” Miley says as his hands wrap around her thighs, bringing her pussy to his lips. He takes his time, slowly licking the juices from her before lightly sucking on her clit, letting her ride his face for a little bit until her whines got a little too high pitched, so he switched to fucking her hole with his tongue, his fingers flicking her clit, causing her to buck and shake above him.
“Fuck, Tom, I’m close again, please don’t stop please let me come, please,” Miley whines, crying out when he pushes her up, wiggling out from underneath her.
“Hmm, don’t think you’ve earned that yet slut,” Tom says, his hands pulling off his jacket and shirt.
“Please, Tom wanna earn it wanna earn the right to come, tell me how to, please,” Miley whines, her cunt clenching around nothing, just waiting for something to fill her.
“Such a needy little slut huh? No worries, I’ll fuck you eventually,” he says slipping off the bed. She starts to turn her head to see what he’s doing but he stops her, “eyes up front baby, be patient.” He quickly strips of his jeans and underwear, grabbing a condom from his wallet and slipping it on.
“Is this what you wanted slut?” He asks as he bottoms out, smirking as she calls out his name.
“Yes Tom, wanted this, wanted you to fuck me,” Miley says as he fucks into her, leaning down to kiss and mark her back with his lips.
“Fuck you’re so tight baby girl, when’s the last time you’ve been fucked?”
“Been a while, been on tour, never found someone willing to, oh fuck, fuck me like this,” Miley groans as he pulls her flush with his bare chest now.
“Oh yeah? Fuck you nice and hard? Fuck you like this?” He says, his words accentuated with each thrust of his hips. His hands grab her tits, pinching her nipples between his fingers as she cries out for him.
“Gonna come, oh god Tom, please can I come? Please let me come,” Miley whines as Tom’s fingers leave her nipples, a hand wrapping around her throat.
“Gimme a second Miley, don’t be fucking greedy, wait for me,” he whispers in her ear, pounding into her as his hand moves to rub her clit, “hold it slut, be a good girl for me and hold it.”
“Fuck, Tom, I-,” her words cut off as his grip tightens around her throat, causing her to clench around him, feeling her orgasm fast approaching.
“Come for me slut,” he says, releasing her throat and dropping her to the bed as he comes, his thumb rubbing steady circles on her clit as she comes around him.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” Miley mumbles into the sheets as Tom pulls out of her, stripping his cock off the condom and tossing it in the trash can by the bed. He flops down next to her, pulling her into his chest.
“Was that okay?” He asks, pushing the hair out of her eyes.
“Yes oh my god, that was, amazing,” Miley laughs, coughing a little.
“Here lemme get you some water,” Tom says, scooting out of the bed.
“It’s fine, I gotta pee anyways, I’ll be back,” Miley says standing up and making her way to the bathroom.
***
Miley steps inside the bathroom and closes the door, looking at her appearance in the mirror. Her hair is fucked, her lipstick slightly smeared, marks down the side of her neck, her ass sore.
She peed and grabbed water, taking a sip, coughing a little before bringing the rest back to bed.
“Hey,” Tom says, reaching his arms out.
Miley crawls back into bed, taking another sip of the water before handing it to Tom, cuddling into his side.
“So you gonna tell me how all those people seemed to recognize you?”
“I’m, yeah I’m an actor,” Tom says, placing the water on the side table.
“Woah that’s dope, what movies and shit have you been in?”
“I was in Lost City of Z, Edge of Winter, uhh Spiderman.”
“Oh sick, never seen those, did you like them?”
“Yeah, love it, you’ve seriously never seen me in a movie?”
“Uhh, no? Am I supposed to recognize you or?”
“Nah just thought you might.”
“Yeah I’m not a nerd, don’t watch comic book movies.”
“They aren’t just for nerds!”
“That’s what nerds say.”
“Pssh, I think you’d like the Spiderman movies.”
“Are you a dork in them?”
“Very much so.”
“Who are you? You like a British Spiderman or something?”
“Nope, I’m Spiderman from Queens.”
“Wait, you’re Spiderman Spiderman?”
“Yeah what else would I be?”
“I don’t fucking know,” Miley shrugged, shivering a little.
“Here lemme get our shirts,” Tom says pulling away to grab their shirts from the floor. He tosses them to Miley who pulls on Tom’s as he gets back in bed with his underwear on, pulling her ripped up Green Day T-shirt on.
“Wow this is comfy,” Miley laughs as Tom settles back down beside her.
“So what’s the next stop on this little tour of yours?”
“Scotland, got a cool gig in Edinburgh then Glasgow, we’re opening for a band on tour for the next month.”
“Oh that’s so cool what band?”
“The SWMRs, I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of them, a punk rock band, just released their second album a few months ago.”
“Hmmm, I haven’t but I’ll have to give them a listen.”
“They’re pretty great.”
“I’ll believe it,” Tom says, running his fingers up and down Miley’s arm.
“That was fun, thank you for uh, being down with what I wanted.”
“Of course I’m glad that you took well to what I was thinking you wanted, you know what I wanted to do when I first saw you up close though?”
“What?” Miley laughs as Tom tickles her sides.
“Count your freckles.”
“Oh well buddy that might take a long time,” she says as his hands caress her face.
“I’ve got time.”
He straddles her hips, his finger gently touching each freckle, counting out loud, kissing across her face as he does.
****
“You’ve got 68 freckles on your face,” he says, laying back down next to her.
“Wow, I’ll make sure to keep note of that,” Miley laughs as Tom lays back down next to her.
“This was fun,” Tom says, yawning.
“Yeah, wanna, uhh, no that’s stupid.”
“What? Nothing you could say is stupid.”
“Do you wanna spend the night maybe order some pizza or something?”
“Yeah, I’d like that,” Tom smiles, grabbing his phone.
“I’ll eat literally anything but pineapple,” Miley laughs as Tom opens his phone.
“Three missed calls, hey, my mom called me and she usually only calls me when somethings wrong, I’ll be right back,” Tom says, getting up off the bed.
Miley shrugs, reaching for her purse at the end of the bed and grabbing her phone as Tom walked into the bathroom, returning his mom’s call.
***
“Mum, what’s wrong?” Tom says as his mom picks up the phone.
“Tom oh my god I was so worried, I saw those pictures of you and that girl and I wasn’t sure if I’d ever hear from you again.”
“Wait, what are you talking about?”
“That girl, people are posting photos of you two leaving the club and I looked her up, she’s bad news Tom, she has a pornographic blog, she went to rehab for drinking and cocaine, Tom she’s seriously disturbed.”
“Mum, this is so embarrassing, Miley, she’s just a girl I hooked up with why is this such a big deal?” Tom whispers, not wanting Miley to hear him.
“Because there are photos of you everywhere and everyone is talking about her being a bad influence.”
“What do you mean everyone? The one person who commented and is jealous? Mum I swear, you don’t need to worry about it I’m fine we’re just gonna order pizza and hang out.”
“Tom, you really need to be more careful about who you’re seen with it could really affect you.”
“Mum it’ll all blow over, people will find something else to obsess over, I really don’t think a few pictures of us really matter.”
“Tom, you know what? You can learn from this, you can learn how to control yourself and how to be private with what you do, and who you do it with. I just don’t want you getting hurt.”
“Mum I’m an adult. Stop worrying, I can take care of myself.”
“Love, I’m your mum that doesn’t come with an age limit, I’m supposed to worry.”
“Okay you can worry but just, just let me do me.”
“Okay Tom, just, be safe?”
“I will, promise, love you mum.”
Tom sighs, hanging up and walking back to the bed.
“You know, the internet fucking sucks,” Miley says, showing him a tweet with a picture of them walking out of the club.
“Tom with some cokehead skank, guess he’s hit rock bottom,” Tom reads out loud, “What the fuck?”
“I’m a cokehead skank what can I say? Was that your mom worrying about her boy being with a cokehead skank?”
“Hey, hey, hey,” Tom says, sitting down next to Miley, “you’re not a ‘cokehead skank’ you know. And even if you are, I mean, that’s your decision, so fuck them.”
“I mean, I was, a cokehead skank, I mean, I was young, stupid, our band was just starting out and a guy who was our ‘manager’, he uh, he got me into coke and I had to go to rehab for awhile, now I’m sober, okay well I don’t do coke or drink anymore. I smoke weed but that’s just to take the edge off. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you I should have warned you I just didn’t know you were you and that people would be attacking you or me like this. And jesus, I don’t know why I’m saying all this, I don’t normally ramble, just when I’m nervous.”
“Miley, you don’t, you don’t have to explain yourself to me. Promise. Hey, why don’t we order some pizza, you can talk a little bit if you want, or you could just relax, whatever.”
“Yeah, I’d like that, thanks,” Miley says, resting her head on Tom’s shoulder.
“Alright, What kind of pizza do you want? Dealer’s choice. Fuck that was a bad way of putting it,” Tom says, groaning.
“You’re fine, oh my god that’s so funny,” Miley laughs, “let’s just do a cheese.”
Tom orders a pizza and waits to see if Miley wants to talk.
“You know, I think my favorite part about my mum calling was that she snooped so much into you that she found a porn blog of yours.”
“Oh my god,” Miley groans against his shoulder, “I just, it’s not a porn blog, it’s art, I post pictures of myself in pretty lingerie, tied up, never show my face, only call myself M, I know some of the band’s fans or whatever know about it but oh my she must’ve had to dig deep to find it.”
“I mean, isn’t that basically porn?”
“Let’s call it, artistic pornography.”
Tom burst out laughing watching Miley’s frown break out into giggles.
“My mum thinks that you’re disturbed, I’m not kidding, her words.”
“Well, what other types of girls have you been with that she knows of? Any like me?”
“No, never, always went for the good girls.”
“Ah and we learned that I’m definitely not that. Fortunately for her I’ll be on the road tomorrow and all this will blow over soon enough.”
“You know, I’d love to uh, get the chance to see you again.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah, just a thought.”
“Okay, I’ll give you my blog and you can jack off to pictures of me, I’ll be sure to post some just for you.”
“Oh yeah? What if I want to do more than come all over myself thinking about you?”
“Well, we’ve got all night, you have all the time in the world to fuck me, right now,” Miley says, straddling his hips.
“Fuck, what about the pizza?”
“Gonna make it quick then huh?”
“Yeah we do,” Tom says as Miley pulls his underwear down his legs, only far enough for his cock to bounce up against his stomach.
“Fuck, can I ride you?”
“Yes, gotta grab a condom,” Tom says, watching as Miley scrambles off his lap, grabbing the second condom from his wallet.
“Fuck why do you keep more than one condom in your wallet?”
“Was hoping I’d get lucky sweetheart,” Tom says, moaning as her hand wrapped around his cock, rolling on the condom.
“Well, congrats, you’ve officially gotten lucky,” she says, straddling his hips again.
“Why thank you,” Tom says, kissing her as he slides his cock against her folds. His hands grip her hips, stopping her from sitting fully on his cock.
“Come on, no teasing, we don’t have time for that,” Miley says, gasping as he thrusts up into her, letting her bounce on top of him.
“Gonna make you come quick and dirty, gonna make you come all over my cock before getting our pizza, hair all fucked up, neck all marked up, they’ll know what you did, how does that make you feel Miley?”
“Fuck, Tom, makes me feel, feel dirty Tom,” Miley moans as his hand pinched her nipple over his shirt,
“Yeah? Like a dirty little slut, knowing everyone knows I’m fucking you? Making you mine, fuck, feel so good around my cock.”
“Fuck, Tom, touch my clit, please, wanna come, Tom, make me come, please can I come?”
“Good girl, come on, come all over my cock for me,” Tom says, sucking on a spot on her neck as his thumb rubs her clit.
“Fuck, Tom, oh my god,” Miley cries out, coming around his cock as she moves faster, clenching around him.
“Gonna come, fuck Miley, gonna come in this pretty cunt of yours,” Tom groans as he comes, Miley’s hips slowing.
“Shit,” Miley laughs as Tom’s hands run up and down her sides, helping her off his cock.
His phone buzzes as he’s tossing away the condom, “fuck, that must be the pizza.”
“Go fucking get it dummy,” Miley says, shoving him slightly.
“I’m going, I’m going,” Tom laughs, tugging his underwear back up and grabbing his jeans, pulling them on. He grabs his wallet, flashing Miley a smile before leaving the room.
He whistles as he makes his way down the stairs to the front entrance, eyes widening as he sees cameras flashing and people crowded around the entrance.
“Fuck,” he mutters, calling the pizza guy, “Yeah, is there anyway you could come round the side door? I uh, there’s just a commotion at the front.”
“Yeah I can see, I’ll be around the side in a second,” the guy says before hanging up.
“Thanks mate,” Tom says, paying the man and giving him a nice tip.
He makes his way back up to her room, knocking on the door.
“Who is it?”
“Tom? Duh?”
“Oh sorry I only know a Todd.”
He laughs, leaning his shoulder against the door, “sweetheart I’ll be whoever you want me to be.”
“Well hello there,” Miley says, swinging the door open, laughing as he stumbles into the room.
“Hi,” Tom laughs, pushing the pizza into Miley’s arms before tossing his phone and wallet on the bed and tugging his jeans down his legs again.
“Oh, round three? I don’t know I think I’d pay more attention to this pizza,” Miley says, sitting down on the bed and digging in.
“Hey save me some,” Tom says sitting down next to her and grabbing a slice.
****
Tom watches as Miley packs up her stuff the next morning, moving around the room and tossing her clothes into her suitcase.
“You should get lost, I gotta get drive to Scotland soon.”
“Oh? Well, if we’re ever in the same city at the same time, you should meet up again, you know, have some fun.”
“Oh? Am I your international booty call?” Miley laughs as she zips up her suitcase.
“I can be your international booty call,” Tom says.
“You can keep the shirt, and listen to their music,” Miley nods at her ripped up Green Day shirt Tom wore.
“I think that’s just an excuse for you to wear my shirt.”
“What? Never, take your shirt too I’ll leave this hotel shirtless.”
“No, you keep it, I insist.”
“Wow, such a gentleman,” Miley laughs, grabbing her purse and shrugging on her jacket over Tom’s shirt.
“Here, put your number in my phone, I’ll text you so you have mine,” he says, pushing his phone into Miley’s hand.
“Alright, alright,” Miley laughs at the contact name he had for her, “punk rock queen, really?”
“Yeah, what you don’t like it?”
“No I love it,” Miley giggles as she types her number in, “okay Tom, get outta here,” she says, leaning up to kiss him.
He lets himself get a little lost in the kiss, grabbing her ass in the leggings she wore before she pulls away, “if you keep that up I’m gonna want you to fuck me again and then Billie and Rainne will murder me.”
“Okay, bye Miley,” Tom says, leaving the hotel room.
“Bye Tom,” Miley waves as he shuts the door behind him.

Justice For My Carl (TWD Fic)
A/N: I wrote this a long while ago, but I’ve been having a lot of shit going on recently, so I felt like publishing it. It sums up my feelings about TWD pretty well (it’s a little more extreme to fit the story, but still). Hope y’all can enjoy it. It’s my first TWD fic in a while (and my first fic in general in a while), and maybe one of my last TWD fics (and last fic for a while). My big story with my 14 year old OC? I have no clue when it’s going to be done. My life has gotten so busy these past few months and I expect it to be just as busy if not busier for the next. Plus, Charlie/NOS4A2 has become more of a main interest to me. I’ll never stop loving Carl or my other fanfics from other stuff, however, including TWD. Please, enjoy.
Justice For My Carl
By: Bunny Louise Grimes
Recently, Negan has been a little upset, and questionably concerned, that I had been going outside in the middle of the cold night, uptop the fire escape of his factory, lost and grieving, but I had reminded him that he too was lost and grieving always carrying around that bat, and that seemed to shut him up, although I did receive a quick backhand slap as punishment for even using her against him and speaking of her that way. I apologized and he forgave, though I could tell he was still ticked. I had told him that me being outside was safe (due to his watchmen being like gargoyles in a church) and that I deserved it. I work hard and do what you ask, I had said. I deserve a reward, don’t I? Isn’t that what you’re all about?
He nodded and said, “Very well then. I suppose. Just don’t do anything stupid. Don’t fall off the edge of it or something.”
“Trust me, I’ve contemplated it,” I said. “After loosing my beloved, I’ve thought about it, but I’ve never came to a desicion. I’m sure you can relate to those feelings, right?”
He held back a deep chuckle and leaned back against the armchair. The sound of leather meeting leather and rubbing against each other filled the dim room. His zippers and belt also made some light metallic noises. The night was already quiet, and perfect for him to catch me uptop his fire escape in the night.
“Ah, kid,” said he, “I didn’t want to kill myself. That’s fuckin’ weak. I wanted to find a purpose. I wanted to find people to lead. I had nothing after my Lucille was gone, but I knew I wasn’t going to fucking kill myself. I’d die if I’d die, so fucking be it. But I wanted to find people to be with and lead. And what do you know? Months later, I found it. So next time you think of jumping off that ledge, think of me, okay?”
I nodded. “Okay,” I replied, appreciating his “kindness.”
“Now run along,” he shooed me away. “Go get some rest or something. I’m gonna go see if my wives are available. If not, my Lucy here is gonna get some good ol’ special time with Negan.”
I wanted to laugh, but I gave a weak smile. Really, laughter was hard anymore. I knew that if my dear was still alive, we would share a laugh over his dirty and eccentric humor, despite him not exactly being an ally.
The next morning, things were fairly normal, the constant hum of life throughout the industrial sanctum, when Simon approached me. Tall and lanky, with a ridiculous mustache, he almost looked like the bad guy of a cartoon or a Tim Burton character to an extent.
“So,” he told me. “You got a visitor.”
“A visitor?” I asked. “What do you mean?”
“Someone from Hilltop,” he explained. “He said he’d like to speak to you.”
“Very well then,” I replied, walking with him. “I will see him.”
The right hand man led me to the room where the inner circle would have their meetings. I would know because Negan allowed me to be there. He would let me run basic errands when requested by his best of the best and knew I barely spoke a word to anyone, especially about what they talked about, even to my friends from long ago. Even to Rick and Michonne, and little Judith, there was nothing to say. To Daryl, who was locked up briefly, and now released to do the most backbreaking things alongside Rick, words were lost.
We entered the room. Negan sat in that comfy chair with wheels with his bat by his side. I looked and saw someone else across from him on the table. His hair was crazy and dark, somewhat curly. His facial hair was dark as well. His skin was tan. His dark brown eyes turned to look at me. He was dressed in greyish tan clothing. He stood up. He was taller than me like my Carl was. His demeanor was soft and gentle.
“Hey,” his quiet voice greeted. “I hope you remember me.”
Remember you? I thought. I looked deep into my broken mind, trying to figure out who he was. So many faces now all a blur to me. The only face that stood out amongst the rest was my love’s.
He cleared his throat. “You... look... the same. Maybe... different.... worse than before... but still... you.”
Like the spark of a flame, a sense of familiarity started to dawn on me. He looks... like...
“I hope you are recovering well from your loss.”
He knows about my loss? Of course he would. Everybody across this whole post apocolypse globe practically knew. I bet people who hadn’t even met us knew about it. It was like the gunshot heard across the world. I was the girl who lost her love, and to all of us, regardless if we had hope or not, we were the people who lost the future.
“I understand, maybe it’s not the best timing?” He tried. “Or maybe... you’re unhappy with me.”
Unhappy with you? Why? I thought. It wasn’t your fault the future is dead. It’s mine. I got him killed. Carl tried saving me. You didn’t have to live with that guilt.
“Go ahead,” Negan urged. “You can say something.”
No words could come out of me. I just stood there, Simon beside me, drinking his tequila, the silence of the room deafening.
“You really don’t remember me?” He asked, surprised. “I expected you to be furious with me, my name and face burned into your mind.”
Name and face? Millions of names and faces were blurred together like in a melting pot and I couldn’t differentiate one from the other. Only one name and face stood out, like a beautiful imperfection on a painting.
He began to wring his hands nervously, clearing his throat again. “Uh... shall I introduce myself once more?”
Did I meet him in the sewer? I thought. Wait... those sewers... damp, disgusting, the low hanging strong stench adding to the weight on my entire body... somebody asking if he could get some meds... who was that? His voice was... that person’s voice...? But why was he there in the first place? We hadn’t met him before coming to Alexandria. We didn’t meet him there, did we? No, that can’t be right. We met him... where?
“We met at the gas station, and then the woods?” He tried again to jog my broken and sluggish memory clouded with grief.
Woods, I thought. Damn woods. So beautiful and peaceful to me before my loss, now a constant reminder of my loss. But... wait...
It hit me.
You were there.
You witnessed my foolishness getting my love killed. He couldn’t save both of us, right?
Wait, no...
I’m right. He couldn’t save both of us.
But... I never hit the ground and got surrounded. I know this because I couldn’t remember feeling the hard ground and seeing living dead faces around me. That was wrong. That was at the prison. Carl had two eyes in that memory. He had one eye for quite a few months now.
I remembered it wrong.
Which meant that I wasn’t foolish and Carl died saving me... you were foolish...
Which meant he died saving you.
You got him killed.
You were the fool who killed the future.
My heart sank. My God...
I remembered it wrong! I was so devestated and heartbroken that I put the blame on myself. I took an old memory and used it against me. I wanted to think of Carl dying with a purpose, not trying to save someone so stupid and pointless, but I thought the opposite was reality.
I blamed myself for no reason.
It wasn’t me, it was him.
My fists clutched in tight balls. I looked into him with fire and fury in my eyes. I began to sweat. I was burning a furious fever.
No forgiveness for you.
You bringing back the truth just awoke a sleeping giant.
I slammed him down against the table in a fit of seething enragement. I loomed over him, irate and heartbroken. Tears and sweat poured from my body onto his goosebumps covered and hair raised skin. He was pissing and shitting himself all at once. Good. This lousy excuse for a human being should be afraid.
“You.... murdered the future!” I screamed. “You killed him! You killed the future of us all! You made me blame myself for weeks! Do you know the pain I’ve felt?! Do you know how we all have no hope and purpose to live?! Why should you get to live when he doesn’t?! I will kill you, you bastard!”
Simon pulled me off of him, but I jumped out of Simon’s arms and slammed myself back on top of the inferior one. His breath rattled as I landed on his chest. I clutched my hands on his neck and began to squeeze the life out of him.
Negan intervened and I felt two leather arms around my stomach area heaving me up. He was surprisingly stronger than Simon was. Or perhaps he just happened to have a better grip on me. I kicked and screamed and fought. No! Negan, you are hindering me from wiping him clean! Don’t you understand?! He needs to die!
I screamed with tears streaming down my face. My face felt hot and red. To an outsider, I looked like a kid having a fit at a toy store and Negan was my father trying to calm me down and get me out of the store. But I wasn’t heartbroken and angry about not getting a toy. I was heartbroken and angry about not getting a chance at having a purpose for carrying on in this world anymore, along with others not. Carl was going to lead us all, and I would be alongside him. But this... thing... killed it all.
“Negan!” I screamed. “Let me kill him! Please! Let me throw him in the fire! Iron his entire body!”
Negan didn’t respond and instead shushed me as he held me close to him. Not facing him, of course. I was squealing and squirming and fighting like a pig about to be thrown into an oven. I glared at the terrified and petrified fool, staring dumbfounded at my fit. He wasn’t guilty at all. He was just... horrified at me.... not his actions.... but wasn’t I a byproduct of his actions?
I was what he made me.
I shouldn’t have let a foolish and useless being get to me this much. But all I needed was to eliminate him. It wouldn’t fix things, but by God, justice must be served!
Negan continued to try to silence me and calm me down when I saw Lucille sitting on the table.
She visits my love. She comforts him and keeps him company. She would understand Carl. She would understand the decision I would make. If the sickness that killed her was the person in front of us, Negan would make the decision I was about to make, so he would understand. But he didn’t think like that in the moment, which was why he was preventing me from grabbing the bat and ending this sad sack of shit.
“You need back up, boss?” Simon asked.
“I got it,” Negan sputtered.
“Let me kill him!” I cried. “Please!”
“Just settle down,” Negan whispered. “It’s okay.”
None of it was okay. The one who killed the future was to get away Scott free... justice must be served.
That’s when I went absolutely apeshit crazy and practically jumped out of Negan’s arms and back into the table. I crawled as fast as I could to the bat. I grabbed her just as Negan grabbed my foot.
“Just one hard swing to his head!” I squealed. “That’s all it takes!”
I got loose and jumped up. I ran over to the scared thing like a battle charge into a war and raised the barbed and beautiful bride above my head.
I could see the fear in his eyes. I could smell his fast flowing blood. I could hear his fast heartbeat. I could taste his sweat. I could feel his trembling and panic against my skin.
“Now die!” I screamed.
I was slammed down on the table by Negan grabbing my leg and making me trip. I nearly lost my teeth as my chin slammed against the table. I cried out in pain. Lucille rolled away from me and Simon grabbed her before she landed on the floor.
“Give her back to me!” I yelled. “Justice must be served!”
Negan pinned me in the same position again and said, “Give her to me.”
Simon obeyed, a little weary. Negan, holding me with one arm tight around me, tight enough that it was hard to breath, took Lucille in his hand and hit her wooden handle against my head.
I immediately went limp and felt heavy. My head hurt. I was seeing stars and spots. No, I thought. I lost. He gets away. I can’t fight anymore.
Tears poured down my cheeks and a weak and pathetic sob escaped my lips.
Negan buried my face in his neck and shushed me again, telling me reassuring and calming things. My fist was weak against the durable leather on his shoulder and went weaker, slipping down his body and dangling like a loose fishing line. I wept weakly into his jacket and neck. I was in pain both physically, mentally, and emotionally.
“Maybe... it was a mistake to come here...” I could hear his voice shake.
“Simon, take this young man back to Hilltop,” Negan ordered.
“Yes sir,” Simon responded.
“Justice will prevail.” I managed to slur amongst my crying and gave him one last hateful look. My voice was muffled by Negan’s leather. Tears ran down my red eyes and puffy cheeks. “Your actions will have consequences. I will see you in Hell.”
Negan continued to shush me and quiet me even after Simon and the sad sack left the room.
“He’s gone now, okay?” He hushed. “You don’t need to freak out anymore.”
Exhausted and weak from my scene, I collapsed onto Negan, weeping until I couldn’t anymore and fell asleep.
When I woke, I must’ve been out for hours, because it was no longer daylight and instead close to dusk. Negan had left some cookies and hot chocolate for me shortly before I woke up, due to the hot chocolate being warm still. I knew that I could remicrowave it if I wanted, so that’s probably why he gave it to me in the first place.
I weakly got up and picked the mug up. I sipped it, every sip calming and dimming my angry thoughts. I wouldn’t have been surprised if he laced everything with sedatives. Heavy sedatives, especially, considering the fact that I went absolutely ballistic on that son of a bitch.
I chuckled, thinking of how amusing it was that he was that terrified of me. Good. I want you to look at me and feel that fear. You should. What was the saying? Tiny but mighty? I was always tiny but mighty. That’s how I survived this world.
After finishing everything, I layed back down and stared up at the ceiling, wishing death upon the little bitch, when my door opened. Negan walked through my door.
“Well, look who’s finally awake,” he smirked.
“Is he dead?” I asked.
“No,” he told me, almost confused at my question.
“He needs to be.”
“And what will that do?” He said. “You can’t change the fact that Carl is dead.”
“But he will not die in vain,” I said.
“Killing him will make his death inexcusable,” Negan told me. “He risked his life for that kid.”
“Nothing excuses my love’s death, especially risking his life for someone as stupid as that,” I growled. “You don’t understand, Negan. He survived everything else, but this was how he died? We have no future. He was the future. You said it yourself. I am not the future. I am no leader. You are right that I cannot summon him, but justice can be delivered.”
Negan sat silent, not knowing what to say.
“Just let me be, please,” I begged him. My head rolled over and I looked him the eye.
Negan got up and left, closing the door behind him. I gazed up at the ceiling more, the dimming and last traces of golden sunlight from the foggy windows spread out against the ceiling and watched as they slowly disappeared and the windows were instead dark.
After about an hour of this, I got up and snuck up to the fire escape. I gazed up at the starry and beautiful night. The cool winds felt amazing on my hot and weak body. I looked up at the sky, lost in my starry world, when I heard a voice come from behind me.
“It’s a beautiful night, isn’t it?”
I turned around and found myself taken aback by seeing him.
“How did you get here?” I demanded.
“I snuck in,” he explained. “Long story short, I managed to sneak into one of their cars and hid around the complex. I needed to talk to you. I needed to find you and speak to you.”
“Even after the fit I threw?”
He nodded.
I laughed. “You really are a fool. You just don’t get it. Come to think of it, nobody seems to get it.”
I turned back to the night and continued to speak to him.
“You killed the future. Have you no guilt?”
“I have guilt, of course. I didn’t know this would happen.”
“Well, it did. And now, you must live with that guilt for the rest of your life. Or rather... maybe you don’t...”
I chuckled darkly to myself, but he seemed too stupid to understand what I was inferring.
“I want to apologize for what I did.”
“Apologizing isn’t enough. I don’t think you understand just how badly you messed up. The whole future is gone. All hope is lost. It is not the grief talking. It is the truth.”
“If you cannot accept my apology, than that is on you.”
I growled and grabbed him by the shoulders. “None of this is on me. All of this is on you. You did this, and you must suffer the consequences. I begged you two not to do those things, and I tried to sacrifice myself for Carl, but I couldn’t because you got in the way. You prevented my chances of saving him by pushing me out of the way when I could’ve saved the future. You didn’t even save Carl when the zombies surrounded him and the undead were on top of him. This proves how weak you are. Who had to kill them? I did and he did. This was your plan. Why didn’t you take it into your hands to save him?”
Silence came from him.
“That’s what I thought,” I whispered, releasing his shoulders and walking towards the ledge again, looking down upon the concrete. God, it never looked as soft as it did in that moment.
“You are awfully close to that ledge,” he pointed out. “You’re not going to kill yourself, are you?”
I chuckled and smiled suddenly. “No. You know what? No. That’s the weak way. I’m not weak like you. I’m not going to do that. I’m not gonna do what Carl had to do. We both will have to die because of you, and I’m not having that happen.”
I turned to him and smiled, circling him slowly and deadly. “Justice will prevail. Your actions will have consequences. I will see you in Hell.”
I backed him against the railing. He shivered and shook as I looked him straight into his fear filled eyes.
“If the strong future doesn’t deserve to live, then a weak being like you shouldn’t. If we shouldn’t have a purpose in carrying on, then you shouldn’t.”
“Please,” he begged. “Don’t do this...”
“I’m sorry, Siddiq,” I told him. “But it’s how it’s gotta be.”
I used all of my might to throw him off of the railing. His screams must’ve died before ever leaving his throat because he didn’t make a noise as he went splat across the concrete.
A rush of relief, satisfaction, and tranquility filled me after the sound of his bones crushing against the concrete entered my hearing.
I chuckled and looked up at the starry sky. “Into this house we’re born, into this world we’re thrown. Like a dog without a bone, an actor out on loan.”
I went down the steps and to where the now dead body lay on his bed of concrete. I dragged him over and crept to the gate of undead, also known as No Man’s Land, unnoticed by the watchmen. I threw him in and the undead’s attention went to his carcass. They began to eat him and I smiled satisfyingly. By morn, they would think him another dead bastard.
I went back inside and went straight back to my dim room. I closed my door quietly, put on “Riders on the Storm” on my record player, ate a Cadbury egg, hugged the Future’s cloth hat and placed it close to my chest near my beating heart that seemed to be slightly revived by my murder. A smile spread across my face again and I nuzzled the hat lovingly.
“Justice for my Carl,” I murmered, falling into the best sleep I’d have in weeks. “Justice for my Carl.”

Batfamily Hidden Talents (Headcanons)
Bruce: 
Bruce’s best-hidden talent would be his knack for staying hidden. But y’all already knew that. 
His second hidden talent is trick shots. After years of throwing batarangs and aiming grappling hooks, throwing ping pong balls into red cups is done naturally.
Probably realized that people actually make a living off of the hobby after Dick or Jason showed him Youtube videos on Dude Perfect's channel
Bruce just shrugged and said, "I can do that."
While he doesn't make Youtube videos or a living off of the talent, whenever he's feeling a little bit bored in the Batcave, he'll probably toss a crumpled piece of paper or two across the cave.
When everyone gives him the I'm-shook look, Bruce will most definitely shrug.
Dick
As the first Robin, Dick was under a lot of pressure to know all sorts of trivia on the American Robin.
”Tweet, Tweet, on the street.”
So he ends up just learning about all sorts of birds. Dick probably had an entire book full of facts and pictures about each bird. 
Try’s to get one of his brothers to go bird watching with him. 
Eventually coaxes Damian by convincing him he’ll take him to the zoo afterwards. 
"Hey, that’s an Eastern Goldfinch! Did you know that they eat seeds from dandelions, sunflowers, and -”
“Tt. Shut up, Grayson.”
DAMIAN DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS AND WANTS OUT
Also knows just about every bird sound there is
Becomes really excited when he sees an American Robin and try to “chirp” back
Jason
Jason like’s music a lot, but what he really loves is rap music.
For Jason, it’s a great way to let it all out. 
Is one of those people who will sing (or rap) at the top of their lungs if they think they are alone. 
Turns out Jason is a fantastic freestyle rapper 
Once at school, before he was killed, he was challenged to a rap battle by a big jock
Everyone thought that little Jason would get crushed. After all, that was kinda why they had asked Jason of all people. 
Jason proved them all wrong and SLAYED - This boy does not take L’s 
You need to stop it yeah
You need to quit it yeah
You need to stop it yeah
Yeah you need to quit it yeah
Next time you roast me, make sure it's lowkey
Cause if I ever find out you're gonna be salty
That big jock? He went home and cried that night.
Once, when Jason got really mad at Tim, he just starting hardcore roasting him - rap style.
Tim was so confused, especially when Jason started yelling at him. 
“You’re supposed to rap back! It’s a rap battle!”
Everyone is too scared to challenge Jason anyways. 
Tim
Everyone knows Tim's addiction to coffee. It's no secret. 
What everyone wants to know but too afraid to ask is how far Tim's love of coffee is willing to go,
The answer: Far. Very, very far. 
Once Tim really needed to stay up to work on a case. This poor lil bean was already super sleep deprived. 
Before he knew it, Tim had drunk 12 cups of coffee straight. 
The only way the Batfamily figured it out was because the next morning when everyone woke up, Tim was throwing up in the Bathroom. 
Alfred found a bunch of coffee pods littered all over Tim's study and immediately called 911.
Everyone mostly blamed the caffeine poisoning on Tim's lack of sleep instead of stupidity, as this guy is one of the smartest detectives alive.
To this day, Tim still hasn't lived it down. That and the chubby bunny challenge, which is another long story for another day. 
Damian
Damian is a very introverted guy, and enjoyed doing things by himself. 
He also has major anger management issues. 
Drawing and painting help him cope with calming down and getting away from his crazy brothers. 
Once Alfred notices Damian’s drawings, he started buying blank canvases and paint brushes for him. 
When Damian is having a young day, or just really wants some alone time, he will usually paint a picture of Titus or Batcow. 
Damian once even painted Bruce for his birthday. It hangs in Bruce’s office to this day. 
Sometimes Damian will allow Bruce to sell his paintings, or put it up on display around the Manor or the Gotham Art Gallery. Otherwise, Damian keeps them in a special room in the Manor that only Alfred and him know about.

Criminal Minds s06e01 “The Longest Night” review - or more aptly named, a cliffhanger-solver that makes me fall in love with my band of superheroes and Shemar Moore is amazing and Tim Curry scares the living shit out of me, and I love this series.
Episode 01 – The Longest Night
Um, hi? I don’t even know how to preface this review.
Season six, y’all! This is nuts!
Let’s see how the previous episode wraps itself up in this season premiere. Holy mother of fucking shit.
My respect for all the diehard CM fans who’s been in on this from the start. HOLY SHIT! How did you fucking survive this?
Of all things possible, a Leonard Cohen song? Oh dear.
Holy crap, Ellie managed to escape?
Or is he letting her go so he can chase her on purpose and kill those poor fuckers?
Yup, second option.
Oh god, this is sick.
Tumblr media
“Spicer’s sister’s not in her apartment. The building manager said she left hours ago.”
Tumblr media
“Morgan and Spicer?”
Tumblr media
“No one’s been in or out since the power went down.”
Tumblr media
“Morgan said they were coming here, right?”
Tumblr media
“And he was a lot closer than any of us. Something must have changed.”
Tumblr media
Oh god, please find them soon.
“What would cause Morgan to change his mind like that when he knows he can’t tell us?”
Tumblr media
Well …
“The unsub had Spicer’s sister and daughter. Morgan knew he didn’t have a lot of time.”
Tumblr media
“So his first guess had to be right.”
Tumblr media
“The unsub attacked Spicer specifically through his family.”
Tumblr media
Oh god. Please just find them.
“If the unsub wants to hurt Spicer, he’ll do it someplace that means something to him. Morgan must have realized the same thing.”
Tumblr media
Yup.
“Kristin.”
Tumblr media
Oh god, oh god, my dear puppy. Please hold on.
“Just try to slow your breathing.”
Tumblr media
“Just slow everything down.”
“My team is going to find us. They’re gonna go to your apartment where we said we were going.”
Tumblr media
Yes, they will.
“When they see that we’re not there, they’re gonna figure out where we are the same way I did.”
Tumblr media
“And when they do, we will bring Ellie home …”
Tumblr media
Oh my cute puppy, I love you.
“This guy has been travelling all over the country. How?”
Tumblr media
“How did he bring you here?”
Tumblr media
Oh god, it’s awful seeing them reach the scene.
“Damn it. Just put a bandage on it and leave me alone.”
Tumblr media
Oh god, my poor determined heroic puppy.
Tumblr media
Just let them take care of you.
“How is he?”
I love that he knows he can’t ask Morgan cuz he’ll deny everything, so he goes straight to the ME.
“It’s nothing, Hotch.”
Tumblr media
Yeah right.
“She’s right, Morgan.”
“Guys, I’m not going to any hospital until we find that little girl.’
Tumblr media
“Now, please, just put a bandage on it.”
Tumblr media
Morgan, what’s that notebook?”
“I asked the sister to tell me everything she could remember about the unsub.”
Tumblr media
“And what’s her condition?”
“It’s bad.”
Tumblr media
Frack.
“I’ll go check on her.”
Tumblr media
It’s good to get a woman with her.
“How many cops were in LA?”
“City or county?”
Tumblr media
“You actually know the answer.”
Tumblr media
“I know both answers.”
Tumblr media
Five years and she’s still shocked?
“Derek …”
“I’m all right.”
Tumblr media
“You don’t look all right.”
Tumblr media
So cute!
“Reid, drop it.”
Tumblr media
Hey!
Don’t go all angry on my poodle, he’s being cute and supportive.
“Garcia.”
Tumblr media
“Baby boy, are you all good?”
Tumblr media
Oh god, I’m so glad my goddess is checking up on him.
“Listen, I need you to run something for me.”
Tumblr media
“You really had us worried. And by ‘us’, I mean me. I didn’t know where you were…”
Tumblr media
“Now, Garcia.”
Tumblr media
“Okay.”
Tumblr media
HEY! It’s fine, I get it, you are worried about Ellie because you made that dumbass promise to Spicer before he died that you’ll look after her, but that’s baby girl tech kitten goddess you’re talking to, and I’m not okay with you acting out like that.
APOLOGIZE!
NOW!
“You know, she really needs to be more professional sometimes.”
Tumblr media
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!
Oh I am so angry with my puppy right now.
I need a sec.
“She gets the job done every time.”
Tumblr media
Exactly! Listen to Hotch.
“I told him that we should wait for backup, but he wouldn’t listen to me.”
Tumblr media
“We split up and he headed around back before I could stop him.”
Tumblr media
“Morgan, sometimes when it comes to family common sense and procedure go out the window. We do the best we can.”
Tumblr media
“This unsub raped the aunt and then beat her for no reason.”
Tumblr media
“She didn’t resist, man, and he still pistol-whipped her until her ribs were crushed.”
Tumblr media
“He killed Spicer while he was on his knees.”
Tumblr media
“He was unarmed.”
Tumblr media
“This guy’s a pure psychopath.”
Tumblr media
“I want this guy.”
Tumblr media
“We’ll get him.”
“Well, we better do it fast.”
Tumblr media
Yup.
“Taking Ellie was like a game to him. The sick bastard thought it was funny.”
Tumblr media
“He’s gonna get pissed off at her, man. She’s nothing but a little girl.”
Tumblr media
“She’s gonna show him fear. And when she does …”
Tumblr media
“He’s gonna kill her.”
Tumblr media
Oh my god, you guys, Shemar Moore is like one of the most accomplished actors ever, seriously! I’m so in awe of this man.
I’m also like super appreciative of Tim Curry in this episode, I’m like – holy fucking shit, he literally scares the living crap out of me, and yet I remember him from The Rocky Horror Picture Show so I’m conflicted, and then I’m like – WOW! I love him!
“All right, what we have is an unsub with complete behavioral chaos.”
Tumblr media
“Meaning?”
“Serial offenders, especially long-term, successful ones, don’t just suddenly change what they do or how they do it.”
Tumblr media
“Going after a high-risk target like a police detective and then all of a sudden abducting a child is fairly unheard of.”
Tumblr media
“Fairly?”
Uh-oh.
“Sometimes they devolve as they know we’re getting closer to them and their time’s running out. But this unsub doesn’t appear to be devolving.”
Tumblr media
“Devolution generally means loss of control. They find it harder and harder to keep the outside world from noticing them.”
Tumblr media
“I think he’s becoming more controlled. He spent a lifetime murdering seemingly random victims, then out of nowhere sought out Spider, recreated his parents�� murder, lured him into a trap, killed him and took his daughter. The behavioral spectrum is alarmingly different.”
Tumblr media
Damn straight.
“Yeah, Garcia.”
Tumblr media
Oh god.
“Hi. I want to have better news, mon ami, but there are zero RVs in the state of California with M-D-3 in that order on the plate. I’m sorry.”
Tumblr media
“Sorry’s not helping anybody. I need results.”
Tumblr media
HEY! HEY! Calm down, Morgan! No one talks to baby girl like that.
“Garcia’s got nothing on the partial plate.”
Tumblr media
And you need to calm the fuck down.
“So how the hell are we supposed to find this guy?”
Tumblr media
“We can contact him.”
Tumblr media
Huh?
“Kristin remembered in the ambulance that the unsub listens to news radio incessantly. He would even stop assaulting her if the broadcaster said anything about the Prince of Darkness.”
Tumblr media
“Makes sense for a narcissist.”
Tumblr media
Yup.
“Oh, no.”
Tumblr media
Oh boy.
“What is it?”
Tumblr media
“The LAPD just put all the information.”
Tumblr media
“What do you mean?”
Tumblr media
Oh god.
“A spokesperson at the crime scene was talking about the RV and about Ellie.”
Tumblr media
“So this guy knows exactly what we know.”
Tumblr media
Fuck.
“That might force him to dump the RV.”
Tumblr media
“Or kill …”
Tumblr media
Poodle, uh-uh! I thought you had better social skills than that.
Tumblr media
“No, I don’t think so.”
Tumblr media
Why not?
 “Why not, Rossi?”
Tumblr media
“Well, he could have killed you and the sister. He didn’t. He kept you alive. He can’t be surprised that we know what he’s driving and that he has a hostage. But how many radio stations are there in Los Angeles?”
Tumblr media
“I don’t know, twenty or so.”
Tumblr media
“We can’t just guess which one he listens to.”
Tumblr media
“What about the emergency alert system? It could be a way to communicate over all the stations simultaneously.”
Tumblr media
Oh my smart cinnamon roll.
“How do we do that?”
Tumblr media
“I don’t really know. How hard could it be to work out?”
Oh god, I love you, JJ.
What the actual fuck?
Oh my god, I’m about to be sick. Curry’s character is awful.
“I am acutely aware that this is an unusual request. It’s an unusual situation.”
Tumblr media
Ooh, my gorgeous cinnamon roll dealing with assholes.
“Then I need to speak to your boss.”
Tumblr media
Oh boy, she’s not messing around!
“No, I’m not calling back. Transfer me.”
Tumblr media
TRANSFER HER!
“Yes, who is this?”
Tumblr media
“And what’s your title, sir?”
Tumblr media
“I’m Agent Jennifer Jareau, the communications liaison for the FBI’s behavioral analysis unit.”
Tumblr media
Whoo, that’s a mouthful, imagine the bloopers.
“Yeah, the emergency alert system.”
Tumblr media
Wait. Is there another emergency alert system that she has to specify it’s the biggest one? LA scares me.
Oh god, I’m so in love with Ellie. She found out there are two kids in the house and she got the other one to alert the whole neighborhood. She’s amazing.
“Kristin wanted me to tell you she’s sorry she made you promise her brother. She said it was unfair.”
Tumblr media
Aw!!!!
“You want to tell me what she made you promise?”
Tumblr media
“That I wouldn’t let anything happen to Ellie.”
Tumblr media
“Well, she’s right. That’s not fair.”
Tumblr media
Nope.
“How is anything we handle out here fair?”
Tumblr media
Well, you’re right, puppy. But making your promise you will not let anything happen to Ellie while dealing with a psycho like Tim Curry’s character is insane, to say the least.
“Every time they put me on hold, I get one layer higher on homeland security.”
Tumblr media
Ooh, you don’t want to mess with my cinnamon roll.
“It’s a bureaucratic pile of steaming … yes. Yes, um, ma’am? Thank you for holding.”
Tumblr media
Oh god, I’m so in love right now.
I love Ellie.
“What’s the matter, scared?”
Tumblr media
Oh my god.
“Ballsy neighbors.”
Tumblr media
Damn straight.
“Tell your officers not to approach him if they spot him. He’s getting desperate.”
Tumblr media
“Won’t be easy with a cop-killer.”
“Then you’d better ask them how they’d feel about getting that cop’s daughter killed.”
Tumblr media
Oh wow.
“He cut her hair.”
Tumblr media
“I swear to god, when I get my hands on this son of a …”
Tumblr media
Oh god, I’m loving Shemar Moore beyond belief. I’m angry as fuck at him for being a bitch to my honey, but come on! How can you not love him?
“That actually might be good.”
Tumblr media
Huh?
Tumblr media
“Why disguise somebody you’re gonna kill?”
Tumblr media
I love you.
“Here’s how he stays awake all night.”
Tumblr media
“Look at this article on Spicer.”
Tumblr media
“We already know he was obsessed with all the attention Spicer was getting.”
Tumblr media
“Yeah, but look what’s underlined three times.”
Tumblr media
I know you’re desperate, puppy, but listen to my poodle.
“‘Eight-year-old Ellie, bright, happy child.’”
Tumblr media
“I don’t normally take to kids, but this one’s just special.”
Tumblr media
Oh fuck.
“What?”
“That’s what he said back at the house. Ellie was his target all along, not Spicer.”
Tumblr media
Shit.
Fucking fuck, fucking shitting fuck.
“Yes. Yes, I’m still here.”
Tumblr media
“Yep, I’m always gonna be here.”
Tumblr media
I love you.
“Okay. My name is Jennifer – no. Do you know what? I’m not going to explain this entire thing again to another mid-level bureaucrat who can’t give me a sufficient answer.”
Tumblr media
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
“Put someone on the damn phone who can authorize what I need.”
I love you, JJ.
“He wasn’t after Spicer.”
Tumblr media
“We were just coming to the same conclusion.”
Tumblr media
“It doesn’t make sense he hasn’t killed the girl if she wasn’t what he was after.”
Tumblr media
“He’s disguised to keep her.”
Tumblr media
Yup.
“Look at this. There’s a stack of them in the RV. Reid’s reading them all right now.”
Tumblr media
Should take a minute.
“So, we profiled his obsession with Spicer was over not getting credit for his law enforcement career. But maybe it’s the daughter he’s not getting credit for.”
Tumblr media
Ha?
“He thinks he’s responsible for her.”
Tumblr media
I’m going to barf.
“Well, she wouldn’t even be here if he hadn’t allowed Spicer to live twenty-five years ago.”
Tumblr media
Oh god.
“A bastardized version of a grandparent.”
Tumblr media
Fuck.
“That’s a pretty twisted delusion.”
“Well, it only has to make sense to him.”
Tumblr media
“And when a delusion like that crashes, it crashes hard.”
Tumblr media
“Hey, guys. The murders we found in Orange County in 1985, they might not have been his first.”
Tumblr media
Fuck.
“Yes, ma’am. Yes, madam secretary.”
Tumblr media
Whoa! That’s an escalation.
Wait. So she got the secretary on her side? WHOO! I love you, JJ.
“Hotchner.”
Tumblr media
“We have access to the local emergency alert system. The secretary personally set it up herself. It’s in the city command center.”
Tumblr media
Wait. Hold up. She’s going to do it? Is she a negotiator?
“Me?”
Tumblr media
Oh boy.
“The unsub may be still in this area, and if he surfaces, we need to be close.”
Tumblr media
“I’m not a hostage negotiator.”
Tumblr media
“I’m sorry. You are today.”
Tumblr media
Oh god.
“Dr. Reid, you’re on your own cellular.”
Tumblr media
Oh my goddess.
“Yeah. The power came back here a few minutes ago.”
Tumblr media
“How’s my main man doing?”
Tumblr media
“On the completely safe assumption that you’re not talking about me.”
Tumblr media
“Let’s just say I wouldn’t want to be this unsub when Morgan finally gets his hands on him.”
Tumblr media
Ooh, poodle burn.
“That bad, huh?”
Tumblr media
“Has he ever yelled at you before?”
Tumblr media
“Touché.”
Oh my god, I love my family of superheroes.
“How can I be of service?”
Tumblr media
Wow. Talking on the emergency alert station is truly simple.
Oh dear.
I hope she manages.
“JJ.”
Tumblr media
“I’m here.”
Tumblr media
“You okay?”
Tumblr media
“Hotch … what if I mess up?”
Tumblr media
“Don’t worry. You won’t. I’ll call you right back.”
Tumblr media
Oh boy.
“Already?”
Tumblr media
“Do you doubt it?”
“Yeah, I’ll put you on speaker.”
Tumblr media
“Okay, let me preface this by saying that a forty-year-old murder in a suburb of Los Angeles is an absurdly impossible request.”
Tumblr media
“Having said that,”
Tumblr media
“Yours truly happens to know that the Pollack Library at Cal State….”
Tumblr media
“Garcia.”
Tumblr media
“Yes, sir, sorry, uh … anyway, this murder was quite the scandal.”
Tumblr media
“For Southern California in the sixties, that’s saying something.”
Ooh.
“Okay, I don’t know who was talking right then, but … word.”
Tumblr media
I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“So, Nora Flynn was a prostitute and a drug addict living in a desert community just outside of Los Angeles.”
Who’s Nora Flynn?
“It appears bikers were her stock in trade, rough bikers, and one fateful day, she and her client were murdered by her thirteen-year-old son Billy.”
Tumblr media
Oh my god!
“Shot to death.”
Tumblr media
“The customer, ironically named John, was able to tell the police before he died that Billy made him beg for his life and then shot him anyway.”
Tumblr media
Fuck.
“That’s him.”
Tumblr media
“And he was convicted, but …”
Tumblr media
“Right. He’s a juvenile.”
Tumblr media
Fuck.
“So at eighteen, he was released in 1973, never heard from again.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, he was heard from.”
Tumblr media
Fucking fuck fuckity fuck.
“I’m sending you a picture of him on the day he was released to your PDAs.”
Tumblr media
“Make sure you send the files to JJ.”
Tumblr media
“Of course, my liege.”
Tumblr media
“Garcia bids you ad…”
Tumblr media
“Garcia, wait a minute.”
Tumblr media
Please tell me he’s about to do what I hope he’s going to do.
“Hey.”
Tumblr media
“Hey, back.”
Tumblr media
Oh god, I just want them to kiss and make up.
“Baby girl, I’m sorry for taking your head off.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, darling, our love is a rock. No bad day can come between us.”
Tumblr media
“Word.”
Tumblr media
I’m in love with the two of them.
“Come home safe.”
Tumblr media
“I’ll leave a light on.”
Tumblr media
Oh god, they’re back, and it’s glorious.
“The most important thing is that you build rapport with him.”
Tumblr media
“I’m asking you to do one of the hardest things that anybody in our position ever has to do. I need you to empathize with him. Sympathize.”
Tumblr media
Shit.
“Garcia’s sending you a file on him and his childhood.”
Tumblr media
Shit.
“You’re gonna be fine. Just talk to him.”
Tumblr media
Oh my darling. Be strong.
“I’ll be listening.”
Tumblr media
Damn.
“Billy? Billy Flynn?”
Tumblr media
Oops. They revealed him.
“I’m not a hostage negotiator, I’ve never done anything like this at all ever, but, sometimes circumstances …”
Tumblr media
“Look … you can tell I’m not a hostage negotiator. But I am a mother.”
Tumblr media
“And I … I know what your mother did to you when you were little.”
Tumblr media
“What she was, what she made you watch, what she let men do to you, and it makes me so … it’s just not fair.”
Tumblr media
Nope.
“And no one can make it better. I wish I could. I do.”
Tumblr media
“If I could somehow go back there and, you know, make what was happening to you stop, if I could just … you know, pick you up and just tell you that it’ll all be okay.”
Tumblr media
Oh god, it’s official. This show is making me bisexual. Wow.
“That’s what moms are supposed to do.”
Tumblr media
“They’re not supposed to be the cause of your pain, they’re supposed to make it go away.”
Tumblr media
“They’re supposed to hold you and tell you everything is gonna be all right.”
Tumblr media
“They’re supposed to tell you that thunder is angels bowling, And that it’s okay to be afraid of the dark. And it’s not silly to think that there might be monsters in your closet. And that it’s okay that if you want to climb in bed with them just this once, ‘cause it’s scary in the room all alone.”
Tumblr media
“They’re supposed to say it’s okay to be afraid, and not be the thing you’re afraid of.”
Tumblr media
Oh my god, my heart is ripping.
“But most importantly, they’re supposed to love you no matter what.”
Tumblr media
“What happened to you isn’t fair, it’s not right, but …”
Tumblr media
“I’m supposed to empathize with you. Sympathize. Understand. But I can’t. That would be a lie.”
Tumblr media
“The truth is, I don’t understand what you’ve done. I don’t sympathize with you killing people all these years. And I especially don’t understand you taking Ellie.”
Tumblr media
“What I can do is tell you what a mother should tell you, that you can’t take away your pain by hurting someone else. That it doesn’t make all the nights you went to bed scared and alone any better if you scare someone else the way you’re scaring Ellie.”
Tumblr media

“But for once, you can choose to use that power to do for Ellie what should have been done for you. You can choose letting her go. You can choose to teach her that, yes, there are monsters, and it’s okay to be afraid of them. But it’s not okay to let them win. And it’s not okay to be one.”

God damn. This scene is seriously one of the most amazing things in the world and I want to fly out to LA and hug the living shit out of Shemar Moore for being such an amazing actor, I’ve seen stuff he’s done on YouTube, and I’m so amazed by this man.

Thanks for the tag, @theamiableanachronism!  I really enjoyed this one!
rules: choose any 3 fandoms (in random order) and answer the questions. then tag some friends.
i choose: • Batfam • Scarlet Heart Ryeo • The Walking Dead
the first character you loved:
• Bruce Wayne and Alfred.  My first real intro to the Batfam and DC was Batman Begins, and I thought Bruce Wayne was the coolest, bravest guy ever.  And Alfred was THE BEST.  Kind, fatherly/grandfatherly, loyal, sarcasm lord
• Wang So.  Obviously.  Even before I had actually seen a single episode, because I heard he had a tragic story, and he was also as beautiful as an angel.  A dark, wounded angel, but an angel none the less.  When he stormed onto the scene and revealed himself to totally be a murder angst cupcake, as advertised, well, I was bewitched
• Dear sweet Glenn, who sasses the heck out of Rick while saving his butt.  Yeah, Glenn, the pizza delivery boy who was the bravest, most unselfish of them all.  Who became one of the most trusted leaders.  He could have turned and left Rick to die, no one would have known or cared, but he didn’t.  He helped out a stranger, and saved a heck ton of other people by that simple act.
the character you never expected to love so much:
• All the Robins, honestly.  Look, when I watched the Dark Knight trilogy, all I knew about Robin was from a clip or two I had seen of the old campy Batman show, and I kind of was glad a legit Robin never showed up in the films just because I thought it would be ridiculous.  I was SO wrong.  I had no idea.   I had no idea what dark, tragic, beautiful, light, funny, DEEP stories surrounded the MANY kids who would take up the Robin mantle
• Eun, I guess. I never hated him, but since he was always rather immature, it was easy to laugh at him and make fun of the things he did.  Then things happened, and while he remained naive in many ways, it was rather sweet and sad at the same time.  My dorky son deserved better
•Daryl Dixon.  Starts out seeming like a rough, angry, slightly racist redneck whose one redeeming quality is his concern for his even more messed up brother.  And then I realized how much of a softy he was underneath everything, how much he cared about Sophia, and how it destroyed him what happened to her.  I saw him connect with Carol, and befriend Rick and Glenn, and become Rick’s brother essentially, and be softened by Beth.  And as the seasons go on he becomes more badass, more caring, more indispensible to the group, and he loses the undesirable traits he picked up from his childhood.  We find out what his childhood was.  Daryl with Glenn is Rick’s right-hand man, and HE JUST CARES SO MUCH ABOUT EVERYTHING DON’T EVEN TRY TO DENY IT MAN
*I’m gonna cheat and add another person for TWD: Carl.  In the first season or two he is a little kid, kind of annoying at times, but boy does he grow up and mature.  It’s a terrible tragedy what he goes through, the things he sees and has to do that no kid should ever have to.  But he is so freaking strong, and he respects his dad so much, and I love his friendship with Michonne.  I love his concern for his little sister.  I love how he shoulders responsibility, how he does what he thinks is necessary, how he worries sometimes that he is becoming a monster too.  I FREAKING LOVE HOW HE WILL nOT PUT UP WITH NEGAN HE HAS NO EFFS TO GIVE FOR THE GUY HE IS TOO MAD AND HAS SEEN TOO MUCH
the character you relate to the most:
• Well, I can relate to Jason’s love for books, to Tim’s often more quiet and reserved nature.  However, I definitely relate to Dick Grayson the most.  He is more outgoing than me, more outspoken, but he has such great love for his friends and family.  The care for his little brothers (in canon and fanon) is something that particularly calls my attention.  You see, besides two older siblings, I have four younger brothers, and I have helped raise them, I have fought against them, fought with them, fought for them, laughed with them, and busted with pride over their accomplishments.  I have been the person who tried to organize them, to tease them, to keep the peace, to enforce the peace.  And maybe I am projecting but I just really see a lot of myself in Nightwing.  The man who hopes, the man who tries to bring light to the darkest of places, the man others trust to help them when they fall.  (I also just hold him in the deepest admiration and its a thing, I try to be a better and braver person so that if he were real I would be worthy of his friendship and respect...)
• A little bit Hae Soo, because I also would get increasingly frustrated by the culture at the time.  We also share a deep love with Wang So :)  Seriously though...maybe Baek Ah?  Because he is the quiet and introspective type, he suffers quietly, he listens and hears things and tries to help those who need it, he tries to bring the outcast brother back into the family.  He is a healer of sorts, a healer of the heart, and he loves little kids and everything beautiful.  He sees things.  
• Maybe this is me projecting again but Glenn?  Kinda small and nerdy, scared of a lot of things, but bravely keeps on trucking.  And slowly rises to being one of the most integral parts of the group.  A man who has strong morals and isn’t afraid to punch an ex-military man twice his size if that man gets between him and the people he loves
the character you’d slap:
• I’d say the Joker but honestly he deserves something more like a bullet to the head.  I would totally slap a lot of the writers who don’t know what character development means, and I would slap at least half the Batfam because sometimes they just don’t know how to communicate feelings properly.  And they frequently hurt each other even without meaning to.  After all of this, however, I would pull them all in for individual hugs.  Oh, I will also totally slap anyone who ever so much as tries to give Dick Grayson grief about the awful things that happened in the Blockbuster and Tarantula incident
• Wook.  UGH.  Also his sister and Queen Yoo.  The king, whatshisface.  Taejo?  also the little creep Won.  I would slap Yo but I would be afraid to mess up his eyeliner, which is on point at all times and is too wonderful to destroy
• Andrea.  I am so sorry but I could not stand that woman ever.  I rarely actively dislike a fictional person, and I apologize to fans of the comics, I realize that the show screwed over her character, but I despise Andrea with everything I’ve got.  Mostly because she runs around proclaiming how much better she is than everyone while at the same time making colossal mistakes.  And honestly her end was ridiculous.  If Glenn can take out a walker while beaten up and duct-taped to a chair, you can figure out how to pick up pliers with your feet
three favourite characters (in order of preference):
• Dick Grayson is the love of my life, and then I guess Bruce, Jason, Tim, and Damian are tied for second place, and then directly behind them are Barbara, Cass, and Steph (I need to read more comics and fics about them, and I am sure they will advance to make the second tier even more crowded).  Alfred is in a special category all on his own
• Wang So (love of my life), Bae(k) Ah, and I guess a tie with Hae Soo, Jung, Woo Hee, and Lady Oh
• Glenn is first in my heart now and forever, and Carl, Daryl, Carol, Michonne, Maggie, and Rick all hold second place.  I like a lot of the other characters, but I’m going to give third place to Tara, and she doesn’t have to share with anyone.  She is just that cool (also awkward and adorkable)
a character you liked at first but not anymore:
• I love every single member of the Batfam to with all my heart.  (The ones I am familiar with, don’t know much about Duke and Harper yet.)  To go beyond, to characters in the universe, well I won’t say I ever liked the Joker but I thought he was a really great bad guy, Batman’s ultimate foe, someone who should always be around throwing wrenches into things and whatnot.  This was after I had seen him in the The Dark Knight.  Then I started actually reading comics related things and HE KILLED JASON TODD.  MY SON.  NOW I DON’T CARE I WANT THE JOKER DEAD I WANT HIM DESTROYED, OBLITERATED, AND NEVER LOOKED BACK ON. 
• Wook. I thought he was occasionally sweet, if not exactly the strongest of persons.  And then I met his wife, who deserved SO MUCH BETTER.  And then Wook revealed himself to be a jealous little eggshell
• SHANE.  He’s kind of like The Walking Dead’s version of Scarlet Heart Ryeo’s Wook.  Originally a decent guy, a good friend, but when things go south, he gets selfish and self-centered and bad things happen.
a character you did not like at first but now do:
• No one really?  I think?  Unless you want to bring the show Gotham into this picture...which I don’t, because that would also make me want to write a book about my love for it and certain of its characters
• can’t think of anyone this applies to
• Hmm, I guess Herschel? He was kind of annoying with his whole “let’s round up walkers and take care of them in my barn.”  Then tragedy and a near death experience and eventually he winds up being the cool old grandpa
3 otp’s (in order of preference):
• I actually don’t have a strong preference as of yet...I kind of like BatCat, Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle.  I haven’t experienced much media with either pairing yet so I have read and enjoyed both DickBabs (I still say it should be Dabs) and DickKori.  Ooh I like Tim/Steph (is there a ship name for that?).  I ship Jason with happiness.  Actually I ship the whole Batfam with happiness and peace and a good night’s sleep.  I don’t ship Damian with anyone because he is just a bby birb :)
• SoSoo, Baek Ah x Woo Hee, Eun and Soon Duk (Deok?).  Also, So x Happiness/Peace/A Living Family Who Loves Him
• GLENN AND MAGGIE FOREVER.  TO INFINITY AND BEYOND.  Richonne is great and I definitely like Caryl.  (I shipped Bethyl just a little, once upon a dream.)
this was fun :) if any of y’all want to do this @itspileofgoodthings @thelonelybrilliance @nalavistahlia @blackaquokat @castieltaking-hobbits2gallifrey @camsthisky @abadpoetwithdreams @tabbyofwisdom ...I feel like there are other people I want to tag but it is way late (early) and my brain is dead forgive me if I left you out and please consider yourself tagged!

STAFF PICKS: Crunchyroll Features' Most Anticipated Summer Anime!
  SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE, KIDDOS! And that means a brand new batch of exciting anime to dig into! The Crunchyroll News and Features teams got together and had a chat about which series we're most excited about for the next three months! From the petryfiyingly cool Dr. STONE to DanMachi's long awaited second season, to the extremely excellently titled To The Abandoned Sacred Beasts, this summer is gonna be chock full of excellent anime! Let's jump right in!
  Joseph Luster
youtube
  Dr. STONE
I’ve only read the first few chapters of the manga and I think, for now at least, I’m gonna leave it at that. The adaptation looks solid enough to make me want to be surprised as it airs, so I can’t wait to follow this one week by week!
youtube
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Season 2
This is one of those series I came late to because I didn’t think I’d like it at all. Turns out I was totally wrong, because I wolfed down the first season and the Sword Oratoria spinoff. I can’t wait to check out the movie, but for now the second season is at the core of my DanMachi hype.
youtube
Fire Force
I’ve been covering this series as all the new cast announcements and trailers popped up, so naturally I started getting more and more curious about it. This is another where I haven’t read the source material yet, so I’m ready to see some SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION!
youtube
GRANBELM
  The story and characters have me intrigued with this one, but I have to admit most of my excitement lies in seeing what the director of Re:ZERO does next. I’ve got high hopes for this one.
youtube
  To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts
I read a few volumes of Maybe’s manga, but it only took one for me to think, “Man, this really needs an anime adaptation!” Flash forward a couple years and I’m delighted to see it happening, thanks in no small part to the idle thought I had while reading manga by myself, no doubt.
Nicole Mejias
youtube
  Dr. STONE
  When I was first looking at what was coming in Summer 2019, Dr. STONE intrigued me and quickly sat at the top of my list. After very recently reading the manga, I fell in love with the unique twist on the traditional Shonen Jump action series, using science in place of magic, supernatural abilities, or other usual stand-bys. When I first heard that it would use science, I was pretty skeptical; I figured it would just be an excuse for sci-fi, but then Senku solved a problem literally by using pulleys, and I knew this would be something special. I think people are going to be in for a real treat when Dr. STONE hits, and I can’t wait to see how it all looks in motion!
  Vinland Saga
  Vinland Saga is an absolute classic of a manga (and you should read it!) about one of the least explored historical groups in anime: vikings! A dramatic saga following a cast of characters pulled from actual viking history and from the author’s own imagination, Vinland Saga could be an absolute smash hit if the anime goes off right. Fans of Golden Kamuy may want to keep an eye out for this one, and if you’re a fan of historical series, action series, or PLANETES (the author’s previous manga), then you may be as excited for Vinland Saga as I am! I can’t wait to see Thorfinn and the rest in action.
youtube
  Ensemble Stars
I’m a big fan of series like Utano☆Princesama, and I’ve always heard a lot of really good things about the Ensemble Stars game, so when I heard it was getting an anime, I figured now would be a great time to get into the series! I know that idol anime tend to go into totally bonkers directions too, so I’m really curious to see what type of world Ensemble Stars sets up for itself in the anime. While I’m not expecting anything dramatic or a Norio Wakamoto cameo (y’all know you love it!), I'm hoping it will keep me entertained with cute guys and cool music!
Danield Dockery
youtube
Dr. STONE
I’m gonna break the trend here and say that I’m pretty excited for Dr. Stone. I’ve been reading the manga since it started in Shonen Jump and I grin like a maniac through every page. I didn’t think that I’d like Senku, with his “I’m smarter than you” personality and post 2003 Tim Burton movie haircut, but I dig him and the whole cast. I don’t think there’s another manga running today that’s as much of a consistent pleasure to read. I can’t wait to see what the anime does with this one.
youtube
One Piece
  This isn’t a new show, but it’s entering Wano, a new arc that they’ve been hinting at and hyping up for 11 years. You know what that means? I’ve been getting ready for Wano since 2008, since The Dark Knight was my favorite movie and my favorite song was “Let It Rock” by Kevin Rudolf feat. Lil Wayne. Basically, what I’m trying to say here is that I’ve changed a lot since then (though “Let It Rock” still bumps), but One Piece is still grinding away, being the standard for all shonen shows. God, I’m so pumped for Wano. The manga has been killing it lately, and if the anime is even half as good, it’ll be a masterpiece.
  Vinland Saga
Vinland Saga has been a big manga blindspot for me, despite it being recommended to me by no less than 3 people. So I’m glad to finally watch the anime and know what’s going on whenever my friends won’t shut up about Vinland Saga.
Paul Chapman
youtube
O Maidens in Your Savage Season
When this show was first announced, I assumed it would be a weepy, super-serious drama, but after seeing some of the more comedic key art and checking out Kodansha's free preview on the first chapter of the manga, I now expect it to be a painful, awkward, earnest, and very, very funny exploration of budding adolescence as only uber-geek Mari Okada could tell it.
youtube
GRANBELM
This original TV anime which mixes moe and mecha flew under my radar until I caught a promotional ten minute preview of the first episode on Youtube. I was hooked by the combination of fantastical production design, cute characters, and heavy-duty giant robot action. GRANBELM might just be a sleeper hit next season.
youtube
How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?
My interest in the “girls gettin' swole” TV anime from the same author as Kengan Ashura (not to be confused with Senran Kagura) is purely scientific, I assure you. It's all about learning the most efficient way to burn calories. Yes, indeed. Calories.
Kara Dennison
youtube
  Dr. STONE
It’s been a long time since a series has made me fall in love with it sight unseen based solely on a trailer. I know the manga’s popular, but am woefully behind on all things manga. The mix of science, setting, and that edge of Ellisonian “I have no mouth and I must scream” got me. I can’t wait for this.
youtube
GRANBELM
Writing news for upcoming shows is kind of a slow burn. You don’t always know whether you’re going to be interested until one key piece of info hits. And that key piece of info here is: mecha. The robot/fantasy blend with the Re:ZERO artist handling character designs looks like a lot of fun. I’m wondering if we’ll be getting Escaflowne vibes at all.
youtube
  Cop Craft
One of my big loves outside of anime is police procedurals. I especially love shows with a paranormal twist like Sleepy Hollow or Life on Mars. Hoping this will scratch a similar itch. Also the original art is by Range Murata, whom I really enjoy. Can’t wait to see this come to life.
youtube
  O Maidens in Your Savage Season
I was unfamiliar with the manga until we started getting in news stories about the anime adaptation, and I’m just enamored. It looks like it’s actually going to be a great coming-of-age series, more interested in being honest than edgy. And I love the literature angle, too.
Cayla Coats
    Dr. STONE
  There are many other articles detailing this series’ premise and “rebuilding-fallen-civilization-with-science” appeal, so I wanted to take a different approach here. Look at the image above this text. That is Tsukasa, the main villain. He’s just so beautiful you can’t not watch this show.
youtube
      Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? 2
  There are A LOT of isekai series to pick from, but 2015’s Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? remains one of my personal favorites. From the immensely likeable Bell Cranel and his supporting cast to the overall stellar animation, I’m very ready to jump back in to this world.
youtube
      To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts
My friend and fellow Crunchyroll employee Andrea Ramirez keeps telling me I need to read the source manga this series is based on, and she has objectively good taste so I’m automatically excited for it. Bonus points for being animated by MAPPA (a studio that’s quickly becoming a favorite of mine) and having an absolutely gorgeously designed main character.
