#the real friends photo is so boyfriends of them.. so HUSBANDS i love them i hate them i want to put them in a lil terrarium

[suiana]

yandere! golden boy who is your loving boyfriend and... surprisingly loves listening to you talk about your interests! yes darling, talk about your games and novels and silly plushies! he loves seeing how interested you can get about things you're passionate about and it just makes him feel so warm on the inside.

you might even go as far to say he ENCOURAGES your interests. buying you plushies, taking you to exhibitions/places you want... you don't even have to ask, just one look with your eyes and he's taking out his card. yeah, it doesn't matter if you have an unhealthy attachment to that fat cat pusheen or whatever. you seem to really like it so he's buying that 400 dollar plushie for you.

on the same note... he can't help but get jealous when you're gushing over attractive fictional characters. SPECIFICALLY that ONE dude that you seem to have EVERYWHERE. on the wall, on your phone cover, lock screen, profile picture, fuck, even on your bed as a plushie! and all he gets is a meager nickname on his contact?!

"sweetie, must you... really have all these... THINGs of HIM?"

"he's my first husband, you're my second. of course i have merch of him. plus I'm not gonna just throw all these away, i spent big money on these ya know 💀"

he knows it's petty! he knows that it's just a fictional character and that he shouldn't be jealous but dude! you don't even have him in your wallet! it's that freaking guy!

so he does what evey sane boyfriend does and replaces some (not all just some!) of your merchandise with pictures of him and you. how adorable, right?

no.

"bro where is the portrait of my MAN🤬🤬🤬"

"i replaced it with a nice picture of us together darling☺️ look at how cute-"

oh. and you...you just put another photo of that guy again... oh... and you're ranting on reddit/instagram about how he's being mean... you also removed him from your close friends list... oh you... you also decided to kick him off the bed and onto the sofa... oh...

well no biggie! he has lots of patience and he will sneak in his presence into your stuff. he's determined.

"best friend I'm going to need you to cosplay as my favorite character please ☺️"

damn!

why didn't he think of that sooner? if you can't win the normal way, you should do it another way, right? he can just get you to see how much better he is and you'll eventually replace that fictional man for HIM!

...

yeah, that didn't work out as planned. now you're even more in love with that character and you're asking him to cosplay every other day. erm... at least.. your wallpaper is a picture of him cosplaying the character??? he'll take what he can get.

"lol best friend, did you see that video i sent you. it's so stupid."

"for the last time, sweetie. we're dating, call me boyfriend. and which one? I can't watch every single one of the 99+ reels you send me."

"a real best friend would watch them all..."

being with you has singlehandedly changed this man. for the worse or for the better, he doesn't know. but what he does know is that you DON'T know how to dress.

"sweetie, no. you can't just go out in a shirt and shorts! you look like adam sandler!"

"clothes are clothes 🤬"

at least he has a fun time dressing you up. you're like, his cute little rat! his very own personal dress up rat! oh how he wants to just keep you in his pocket and pick out pretty clothes for you, making you look like the cutest thing ever! sure you might take them off and just wear what you want but... at least he's got the photos and the sight of you in a pretty outfit ingrained into the folds of his brain already ☺️ and he'll take every chance he can get to put you into another pretty outfit again. that i assure you.

he... has ALSO found out that you are living on instant noodles, sandwiches, and the occasional takeout. you don't even open the curtains! how can you see in such a dark home? and why are you sleeping until midday?! dear oh dear. you really are a rat, huh?

"darling get up! it's 12 in the afternoon already!"

"i slept at 3 just let me sleep more..."

that simply won't do. he will not be allowing you to lead such a horrid lifestyle! not if he can help it! especially because... well, he's also your boss. from part 1, remember! yeah, you guys didn't break up at the end haha! you were just joking, obviously! not like you'll ever be able to break up. it's in the contract, silly.

"come on, get up. you need to have a healthy lifestyle. I've already gotten my personal chef to cook up a healthy meal for you."

"who's gonna stop me from living like this? you? 😂😂😂"

"yes, me. in our contract, remember? i will be responsible for your health from now till we die."

don't worry. he'll be by your side every step of the way. and hey, who knows? maybe you can even teach him a thing or two about gaming or something else you like! he's open to learning about the things you like.

and he won't even have to worry about you finding another REAL person to like because... well, let's just say you don't even like going out for dinner. we'll keep it at that ☺️

Boyfriend Taehyung

Pairing: Kim Taehyung × Gn!reader (established relationship)

Genre: fluff, headcanons

Request: can you write dating taehyung headcanons?

Warnings: he's an idol, mentions of marriage, skinship

A/n: last post of the year, how we feeling 💃🏻 | daily click

Jimin ver. | Taehyung ver. | Jungkook ver.

‌Before dating, you both were already friends

‌So looking at you both is just like seeing two best friends having fun around each other

‌And honestly, that might be the cutest thing of your relationship

‌He is currently taking you on random dates

‌"There is this place where you can take care of ducks. We should go there"

‌Okay??

‌He truly just sees anything and he's like "oh I should go there with my partner"

‌Just because wherever he goes he needs you by his side

‌That leads me to my next point

‌He always includes you

‌In conversations, no matter with whom, he'd always say "we"

‌Someone randomly says "taehyung, would you like to go to this new cafe" and he's like "We would love to go"

‌Because he's always including you

‌Since he started dating you it's never simply "I", it's always "we"

‌And if you both go to some place where there is live music

‌Like a restaurant or you were just walking down the street and someone is playing guitar there

‌Be ready because he will call you to dance

‌Always with a knowing/teasing smile, he will hold your hand and just starts slow dancing with you

‌"But what about the people watching" nah he's not thinking about it

‌He's only thinking that if he has any opportunity to have you close, he will have you close

‌Also sings to you randomly

‌If we're talking about a scenario where he's an idol, he would like to keep the relationship private

‌He doesn't think the world should have a place in your relationship. This is about the two of you only, and it should stay like this

‌He'd only want to make the relationship public the moment you get married, because then he'd need to explain the sudden ring on his hand

‌But he sets boundaries very quickly. Not the fans, not the media, not the company, NO ONE will dare to put themselves between the two of you

‌You become the topic of his songwriting

‌Makes a whole album for you fr fr

‌If you allow him, he'd put one of your voicemails in the song. It becomes his favourite song

‌TAKES PICTURES OF YOU

‌He has like a few albums of photos of all these pictures (there are a lot of them)

‌This guy is a kisser

‌You will be kissed every day every hour, be prepared

‌Gives you a lot of hand made gifts as well

‌And gifts for no reason at all, he just wanna cherish you just because

‌He also gives you flowers

‌And takes you to meet his family the moment the opportunity arises!!

‌He can't wait to see you with the people he loves the most

‌And he's also incredibly happy when you're with the boys

‌Although I have this feelings that he would take you to meet the most important people to him the moment you become his crush

‌Silence with him is very... Comfortable

‌There is no need to fill the silence, it's not awkward

‌I feel like you can just turn his brain off with him and simply enjoy

‌This is just a very fresh relationship you know

‌His love is kinda like a sunny day

‌It's bright, warm, it makes you happy...

‌And it's also simple

‌You never have to overthink around him

‌His love also heals your inner child

‌Loves when you visit him at work

‌The boys are never able to tease him because he doesn't care lmao, he's just happy you're there

‌He also LOVES when you call him "my boyfriend"

‌He's just so proud of it lol

‌And if you call him "my husband", he's ready to risk it all and just propose to you on the spot

‌Talking about that lmao

‌I feel like he'd be the fastest of the boys to get married

‌Six months into the relationship and he already bought a ring

‌He's just waiting for you to be ready

Masterlist I you'll probably like: what their love feels like

Reminder this is just fiction!! I'm not trying to portray real life and you shouldn't believe that this is how the members actually are. This is just for the vibe and the delulu!

Title: They Almost Make the Day Begin

Ship: Mike x Matt Helm

Words: 1.5k

Warnings: It's the 1960s

Description: Matt and Mike struggle with their feelings for each other (or a very bizarre situationship anniversary fic).

After snapping his last photo of the model for this edition of Slaymate, Matt returned to his red room to begin developing them. On his way, he got distracted by an open drawer.

He smiled at it fondly once he got closer. It was a recent snapshot of Mike he’d gotten candidly. They were grinning at the camera. Sometimes when Matt looked at their eyes too long he almost thought they were in love with him.

He thumbed through his other pictures of Mike, some that could've been in the local newspaper, and some that Mike would kill him if ever got out. He didn't get a lot of people taking photos for his eyes only. Mike was a different type. He traced the outline of their legs from one of the photos he took on the day they met. Mike was never supposed to be the model that day, they just happened to come with the girl hired for the shoot. Matt only remembered her because she shot him down. Her name, if he ever knew it, got lost somewhere. Whoever she was, she was a friend of Mike’s. It didn't matter now.

Mike was a different story. He laid on the old charm and there they were. Here they still are. He thought about their sleeping form that was still in his bed. How they’d probably make him breakfast when they got up. He grinned with satisfaction as he thought about what he could remember from last night, how Mike came to be so tired out.

Matt almost couldn't imagine a morning where they didn't grab his clothes from his dresser, kiss him good morning, and make him breakfast. For being a fling of his, they were very thoughtful.

He almost felt bad. He didn't want to hurt Mike. He didn't want to break things off either. They smelled nice. They were witty and sweet. Mike never nagged him or expected anything of him. They didn’t care about his string of one night stands. They really were an ideal person. Better suited to a man who would make a good boyfriend, a good husband.

Matt was a little selfish and wanted to keep them longer. He liked how eager they were to please him. He liked how they teased and played with him. He always had a good time with them. They could be a bit insecure and a bit shy but it never bothered him too much.

He put the photos down and shut the drawer. He walked into his bedroom. He smiled at Mike curled up on his circular bed. The white sheets didn't hide very much.

He removed his shirt and slid into bed with them. He nuzzled into their neck and smelled. They always smelled fruity. Lightly, he pressed kisses to their neck.

“Good morning,” Mike mumbled.

“Mornin’.”

They turned to face him. “Did you eat yet?”

“No, but I don't want to just yet.”

“Don't get so distracted by me that you don't eat,” Mike teased.

“Mmm, I’m a little hungry for you.”

Mike lightly slapped him on the shoulder. “I’m hungry. I’m making breakfast. Then I’ll think about getting back into your bed.”

Matt rubbed their thigh. “It’s not my fault you're so damn enticing.”

“I still don't know how I was stupid enough to get into your bed two years ago.”

Two years ago. Today. Oh.

“Hey, I got a nice bed here. And you’re never complaining.”

Mike rolled their eyes. “So, pancakes?”

“Sure, sure.”

“Coffee for me, coffee for you. I’m not putting any booze in it, don't even ask.”

I’ll just sneak it in myself, Matt thought.

“You must be a damn good spy if you're still on the government payroll, not doing a damn thing.”

In mock offense, Matt replied, “I put my life on the line for the good of this country.”

Mike ruffled his curls, “Ah yes, you're a real patriot. I salute you.” They saluted him dramatically.

Matt pulled them into his embrace and they yelped in surprise. “You're real lucky I keep you around, you know that?”

Mike studied his face. “No, I don't think I am. Matt, you're in love with me.”

Matt wasn't in love with anybody. Women, they're just trouble. And Mike…

Mike put on their dress and Matt watched them lavisciously. They weren't bad to look at. Or touch either. Matt chuckled to himself.

“I’m the longest you've kept someone around, true or false?”

“True but…”

“And why's that? You and I both know you could replace me whenever you want. Why don't you?”

“You're pretty convenient.”

Mike huffed. “Convenient. So, if I was less convenient I’d be put out?”

He hesitated. “Yes.”

“Well, good. I’ll go.”

“Wait, I thought you were making breakfast?”

Mike took a deep breath. “Matt, I’m stupid and do you want to know why I'm stupid?”

“...Sure.”

“I’m in love with you. See. There. I'm stupid.”

Mike walked out of the room, leaving Matt alone to think. He ran a hand through his hair. Somewhere in his booze-addled mind he saw that coming. For the first time in a while he didn't know how to feel about this. Any other person and it would be as simple as leaving.

He needed a drink.

Mike sat alone on Matt’s doorstep, shivering in the late January air. How foolish. How ridiculous. They knew they couldn't change a man like Matt Helm.

They sniffed. Not one tear. He didn't deserve a single teardrop. They should get up and leave just as he did to every woman he was with. They’d let those big brown eyes fool them. He was good for nothing and they knew it the whole time.

They stood and walked up Matt’s driveway. It was a long walk home.

“Mike?” Matt called to them from his doorway. He had a bottle of gin in his hand.

“What?” they spat.

“I could forget you. It would be easy,” he said.

Mike stiffened. “Thanks for the information.”

Mike turned and Matt grabbed their arm. Mike panicked and their eyes searched for ways out. If he got a good grip, Mike couldn't fight him off.

“Relax,” he said softly. “Hm? Don't go.”

“Why?” Mike asked carefully. He still had their arm.

“I don't want you to.”

Mike didn't say anything.

“Come back in, you can make those pancakes and I won't keep my hands to myself.”

His eyes sparkled in the morning light and he looked so gentle and inviting.

He leaned in and kissed them.

“Matt…could you love me?” Mike asked innocently when they parted.

The hand on their arm moved up to cup their face. “Let's just enjoy the moment, huh?”

Mike followed Matt back into his house. They made pancakes and Matt felt them up.

“You really want burnt pancakes,” Mike teased.

Matt laughed and his heart fluttered. “I don't mind them burnt if I can keep touching you.”

“Has anyone ever told you that you're a pervert?”

“When you're as handsome as I am, it's not called being a pervert.”

Mike flipped a pancake. “No?”

“I just like a good figure.”

Mike’s heart skipped a beat. “If I didn't like you, I’d slap you for looking at me like that.”

Matt rested his face on his hand. “Like what?”

“Like a hungry wolf!”

He chuckled. “I’m hungry alright.”

“I can't believe I’m encouraging you.”

“You like it.”

“Yes. A person likes a bit of attention from someone they find attractive. So what?”

“Nothing,” Matt replied. “You don't have to pretend you don't like me.”

“I’m not- yeah, I am,” Mike admitted. “It's the only way I can keep my heart safe. The only way I could stop from loving you.”

“It didn't work.”

Mike sighed as they plated their breakfast. “No, it didn't.”

“Mike?”

“Yeah?”

“I’m sorry.”

Mike blinked. “You're...?”

“Damn it. I don't like to be attached. I don't like to be nagged. I don't want to settle down with one woman for the rest of my life.”

“I know that.”

“I'm never going to be the boyfriend of your dreams, Mike. I'm never gonna be faithful. I’m never gonna settle down.”

Mike sat down. “I know all that too.”

“And for some damn reason, I don't want you to go. I guess I got used to you. I could forget you, Mike, but I don't want to.”

Mike poked at their food. “If you love me, I’ll stay. If you don't, I can't do this to myself.”

Matt searched his heart. “I don't know. I like you. I think you're beautiful. I think you're smart, a lot smarter than me. I think you’re patient and kind. You're probably too good to be hanging around me.”

Mike bit their lip and released it. “It's okay if it's just physical but I need to know.”

“I don't want you to go.”

Mike looked into his eyes, trying to see if their feelings reflected back in them. “I’ll stay. For today. Maybe the week.”

He shook his head. “Don't go until I tell you to.”

Mike sighed. “Matt.”

“Just stay. Please?”

Mike was shocked by Matt’s vulnerability, and agreed. The pair continued eating, battling complex emotions all the while.

[gunilslaugh]

hi! i just followed you and love your writing so so much!! can i perhaps request a story on how XH members would do as y/n husband?

Thank you so so much! I hope you enjoy your request.

All members ∞ * _ * ∞

Summary: How Xdinary Heroes are as husbands

WC:1k

Warning:none

photo not mine credit to owner.

Gunil

Gunil is such a caring and doting husband. Makes it his mission to treat you the absolute best for the rest of his life. He loves calling and introducing himself as your husband. He says it with so much pride, as if being your husband is the highest title in the world. 

“Hello, nice to meet you I’m y/n’s husband,” he introduces himself proudly, with one arm sturdily wrapped around your waist. A shy smile makes its way onto your face. 

“His name is Gunil,” you added.

“Yes, I’m Gunil, your husband,” he says, making sure to emphasize the word husband. 

He’s the type of husband that makes others jealous. “Why don’t you treat me like that?”, “I wish my husband treated me like that.”, “If my future husband doesn’t treat me like that then I don’t want him.” are some of the things others would say. He will also randomly princess carry you from room to room at your twos’ house just because he can.

Jungsu

Jungsu was already an amazing boyfriend and somehow he is an even better husband. He’s so loving and kind. He is ever so giddy when you two are newlyweds because he’s just so happy that you two belong to one another. Not that you two didn’t before, but marriage is clearly different from dating, so being married makes Jungsu feel even more bonded to you. Likes to subtly show off that you guys are married. For instance when he grabs drink orders he grabs them with his left hand to show off his wedding ring. 

“Y/n, love, look these are the flowers we had at our wedding,” he stated a bit louder than needed, so the other people around heard what he said too.

He’s just so happy to be your husband and it shows. A radiating smile that shows he is going to love you for the rest of his life.

Gaon/Jiseok

People thought that maybe would become a bit more serious now that he has gotten married, but they were wrong. He is the same old playful Jiseok that you fell in love with. The only thing that is different is that he has upgraded from being your boyfriend to being your husband. He likes to hold your hand in his lap and fiddle with your wedding ring. Sometimes he can’t believe that you said yes to marrying him and are now married. It feels like a dream to him, but as he feels the metal of your wedding ring beneath his finger he is reminded that this is real. 

You don’t know this, but whenever Jiseok is out working late with others he’s always the first to leave.

“Alright I’m heading back to my beloved now,” Jiseok announces gathering his belongings.

“Jiseok we are not done ye-”

“Don’t care. I’ll finish my part in the morning. My beloved is at home and it’s late. I need to be with them goodbye.” With that me rushes home to you.

O.de/Seungmin

You and Seungmin already acted like a married couple when you were dating, so now that you are actually married nothing is really that different. Your friends are kinda sad that they can’t make jokes about you two acting like a married couple now. Your married life with Seungmin is so domestic. He never misses the chance to give you a back hug while you're doing something. You both will cook and dishes together. Whenever you both go out together he is always holding you in some way. Whether it be your hand, arm around your waist, linked arms, or sometimes even just holding on to the hem of your sleeve or shirt. It makes him feel comfortable having you right there, so if something were to happen he’s right there ready to protect you. Seungmin is not afraid to brag about you to others. If there is a way to slip you into the conversation he will.

“My y/n is the best.”

Junhan/Hyeongjun

Hyeongjun is such an adorable husband. It takes him some time to adjust to the fact that you two are really married. The first instance where he is able to introduce himself as your husband he is a bit shy, but so happy at the same time. 

“Hello I’m Hyeongjun, y/n’s husband,” he says with a smile, hoping that his pink cheeks aren’t noticeable. Over time he gets used to it and it becomes a casual thing for him to say. He even becomes a bit like Gunil and is so proud to say that he is your husband. Hyeongjun loves to cook with you and for you. Trying out new recipes together and laughing if they turn out as a failure or celebrating if they turn out deliciously. For your birthday he would always make you a cake or whatever dessert you like. There is no one else he would rather have by his side for the rest of his life.

Jooyeon

Jooyeon becomes like an excited child after the two of you get married. Once you got home after your wedding he took both of your hands in his, jumping up and down.

“We’re married! We’re married! We’re married!” he repeatedly yelled. He is so excited to be your husband. He likes to flaunt his wedding ring in public, to show that he is taken by the love of his life. The type of husband that when he gets asked a question he always brings you up even if you're not relevant to what the question was. 

“Jooyeon, how many times do I have to tell you to face the toilet paper the other way.”

“It’s toilet paper. Why does it matter what way it faces?”

“Because it’s better this way.” Jooyeon suddenly burst out into giggles. “What?” you asked annoyed.

“We’re arguing over toilet paper,” he chuckles. His statement makes you chuckle too. You’re the only person he wants to argue with about toilet paper.

You don't know idols irl

But Jungwon has been nothing but a fucking sweetheart to engenes, he's constantly updating us, constantly posting content for our enjoyment, constantly doing his job as an idol

But some ungrateful 'fans' are now hating on him, for a rumor based of off there i say bullshit proof, like photos that are so blurry that it could be anyone(lemme tell you if you took those 'proof' to court, a good judge will laugh in your face and kick you out, that's how shitty they are), and proof from crazy individuals detailing how they stalked him.

Like instead of coming together worried about his privacy being so disgustingly violated, there r ppl, screaming and shouting at Jungwon??

Same on winter's side, i have seen the clips from that aespa fan meeting, where these 'fans' were screaming and cursing at her. over a rumor that if you had common sense you could see are false.

I don't think these people are really fans, these individuals are just people jumping on an opportunity to hate, and be vicious. I saw the email template they were planning to send to hybe, and it's just filled with stupid delusions.

Jungwon has admitted that he isn't in a relationship (even if he was, he is 20, who gives a shit) and these people have deluded them selves that he is, because of proof thaf can soo easily be disproven.

Kpop idol's mental health is so important, from torturous trainee life, to torturous idol life, Multiple idols have passed, because of crazy insane stupid rumors, that ruined their mental health. Yet, to this day so many people don't feel shame when they toy with an idols mental health like this.

And if something awful does happen, which i fucking pray not, these people will be the loudest about mental health. Please remember that idols are HUMANS not things or property. Jungwon has been so mentally strong, but i don't know how he's actually doing bts, as a my and engene, this situation is hurting my eyes.

If u r one of the insane individuals still angry at this, plss plss leave, i promise Jungwon and enha wouldn't care about losing 'fans' like you. Jungwon has said, on camera, by himself, that he's not dating, and you still delude yourself to thinking he is because???

It just seems like you have nothing fun or special going on in your life, please go hang out with family and friends, if you don't have friends make some, get a job, get a more productive hobby, go to the gym and do some boxing, since you are so desperate to let out rage. You say you love enhypen, yet you are so quick to treating them like this, because you lack respect not only for yourself, but for him.

we are going into 2025, a stranger, which is what jungwon is to all of us at the end of the day, dating, should not, and I repeat should not get you THIS riled up, you're mad at a human for falling in love?

And if you believe idols shouldn't date still, i better not see you dating either, cause by your logic, you also belong to said idol, and you dating is also a betrayal, you should also lose your job and everything you've worked hard for. You see how dumb you sound?? if not i really pity you, cause there is something insanely wrong with you.

Therapy is expensive, but human connection is mostly free, if you had friends, a job and a life to look forward to, you wouldn't care so much about this.

Parasocial relationships at the end of the day are not real, jungwon isn't really your friend, your boyfriend or your husband, he's a guy doing his job, being a singer, dancing and making music. your role as a fan, is to support him, so no he doesnt owe you any more than what he's given you(making good songs, dancing, concerts, albums/ the lives, photos and content r extras for your entertainment, he doesn't have to do that either if he doesn't want to, but he does(a lot),so shut up and know your place). he is a person, a human, and like yunjin said, an idol doesn't mean a dol(l) to fuck with.

For Him Episode 3

When we last left NailHim they were in the bathtub for half an episode and then we got a plot dropped on us indicating that Him might be using Nail as a replacement for his dead (?) boyfriend Blue. So I'm stressed but interested.

Okay, we're actually getting the scene with the sides that was abruptly cut from episode. Not the chocolate syrup though! I know I am a fundamentally hungry person but I feel strongly that sex and snacks should be separate activities. I think Phai is the tattoo artist? Anyway he's like 'oh no I think I slept with a babygay and he imprinted like a duckling.'

See? Separate. But as cute as this is, I am impatient for any of my many questions to be answered, because possibly none of this is actually cute and is just creepy?

I don't know why I find it hilarious that the group chat is named 'music band' but I do.

Not a particularly reassuring sentiment in context. Please don't just be using Nail, I want to like you.

Am I about to get answers??

This is Nail and there is absolutely nothing weird about this situation.

Nope, nothing awkward at all.

I want to believe this.

Te, what are you even trying to accomplish beyond stirring shit?

Still love them.

Yeah, you tell Te! Him really needs to explain what's going on. Mostly for my benefit but also because Nail might be fine if he was just in the loop. Nail is the kind of person who can Deal With Shit, but he won't take any shit.

Like...normal left? Or it was so traumatic you can't talk about what really happened left? Loving the communication though. Just show Nail a photo and we probably wouldn't need 9 more episodes of this show.

Aww, are they watching a BL?

Boyfriend era incoming! I both want more answers and want some fluff before real drama hits.

I have to say, my experience of this show is influenced by actually having a doppelgänger, my friend 'Miley.' People remarked on how similar we looked when we first met, but I just brushed it off until someone came up to me at a gathering and asked me how Miley's husband was, and I had to be like, 'fine probably, but I don't keep him in my house.' Several years of introducing myself as 'not Miley' followed. Objectively speaking I know look more similar to her than her own sister, and we dress the same, and talk the same, but there's still a part of me that's like 'What's wrong with everyone? I wear glasses! Her nose is thinner! We're not even the same ethnicity!'

All of which is to say, if Nail finally sees a picture of Blue and is like, 'this dude looks nothing like me, Te is just crazy,' I would be like, 'yep, a 100% completely realistic outcome.'

[lumassen]

—————————

Last night was the worst fight they’d ever had. Berwald turned to look at what was the result of not enough sleep across his face in the elevator mirror and frowned when dark eye bags stared back at him from behind his glasses.

Frustration between them had been building for weeks, Berwald wasn’t stupid, but he’d never been one to talk about his feelings. Instead, he just let his annoyance grow until one silly little thing caused their perfect facade to crumble.

Timo was the type who couldn’t hurt a fly, or at least that’s how he portrayed himself to other people, but Berwald had found himself engaging in shouting matches across the table, driving home in silence after a disagreement in the grocery store car park, and sleeping on the sofa more times than he cared to admit.

The elevator doors opened, and Berwald slunk across the office floor to his cubicle, shaking his head when the photo of himself and his boyfriend that was framed on his desk was the first thing he laid eyes on when he sat down. His phone buzzed in his pocket, and as if his ears were burning knowing that Berwald was still stewing, Timo had text him.

[Message from Timo: Morning honey. Shall we meet for lunch later? I wanna say sorry and make it up to you. Love you.]

Dropping his phone onto the desk, Berwald sighed and turned his computer on, not in the mood to reply just yet.

It was 08:05, and Berwald was an hour early, but the office seemed a better choice than an awkward breakfast at home when neither he nor Timo would want to be the first to speak. The office was quiet at this time and nearly empty save for the regular early risers. For the first hour and a half of his work, Berwald went without coffee in order to avoid any small talk in the kitchen, but eventually he ran out of steam and pushed himself away from his desk and stood up. Luckily his cubicle was only a short walk to the corridor and he kept his head down as he crossed the office.

Pushing open the door to the kitchen with his shoulder, Berwald stepped inside and immediately wanted to turn around and walk back out again when an overly cheerful face turned to greet him.

“Mornin’ Oxenstierna!” Matthias began, “Damn you look rough.” though faltered when he noticed Berwald’s deeper set than usual scowl.

“Wow, real smooth babe.” Sigurd chided his husband from where he sat at the table by the window as he folded his newspaper and set it down in front of him.

“What? I’m just sayin’! Everythin’ alright pal?” Matthias handed Berwald the coffee he’d just made and then busied himself with pouring another.

Matthias and Sigurd were, in Berwald’s opinion, completely insane to want to work at the same company as each other, and he had no idea how they weren’t sick of each other. But the three of them got on as colleagues, and unless you knew them both personally you’d have no idea that they were even dating, let alone married for 5 years, choosing to remain completely professional.

Hesitating for a moment, Berwald stared into his mug before slumping into the empty chair opposite Sigurd. Having worked together for years, Matthias and Sigurd were privy to details about Berwald’s private life, and were the closest thing to friends that he’d ever made in a workplace before.

“Had a fight again.” He sighed, then glanced at Sigurd whose expression softened.

“Again?” Matthias said as he sat beside Berwald. Berwald just nodded.

The morning breakfast talk show that was on the break room TV dully filled the space for a moments while Berwald ran back over the events of yesterday evening in his mind.

“I just dunno where I’m goin’ wrong.” He sighed again.

Clasping his hands on the table in front of him, Sigurd sat forward.

“What was it about this time?” He asked. There was a lightness to his voice, with no hint of judgement in the question.

Berwald shrugged, “I couldn’t really tell ya, it started when I mentioned that another beer might not be a good idea when we both had work in the morning.”

Just like their previous arguments, this one had been no different in that it had started over something so mundane. But with each argument that came and went, both Berwald and Timo were fueled with more ammo that they could use against each other, bringing up past things that they had said to the other that hurt them and scoring points. It was messy, and Berwald knew that it could be the deciding factor of whether their relationship would work or not long term if they carried on this way.

Matthias looked over at Sigurd for a moment, then back to Berwald, “Did ya ever fight this way before you both moved in together?”

“Not really. It’s like we never had time to, y’know?” Berwald said, then felt himself turn a bit pink at the thought of the beginnings of his relationship with Timo, fleeting one night stands at each other’s apartments, a quick screw in the back of the car here and there, until moving in with each other seemed like the natural next step. It was bliss at first, until it suddenly wasn’t.

“Look, it’s only been a few months right? And he’s never lived with a partner before?” Matthias continued, and Berwald took a moment to swig his coffee.

“Me an’ Sig would fight when we first moved in with each other, it takes a while to adjust to learnin’ things about your partner that ya didn’t know before.” Matthias gave Berwald a reassuring pat on the shoulder, and Sigurd nodded in agreement with his husband,

“But that doesn’t mean things can carry on as they are. How do you apologise to each other?” He asked.

Berwald blinked, the question taking him aback a little,

“I, uh, suppose we just forget about it. Timo will bake somethin’ sometimes, or I’ll pick him up from work with some chocolate. Then there’s, uh, y’know,”

“Make-up sex?” Sigurd interjected nonchalantly when Berwald slipped his finger beneath his collar when it suddenly felt too tight.

“Yeah, that.”

Suddenly, Berwald was no longer in the break room, but in a shrink's office, and half expected Sigurd to bring out a chaise lounge for him to lie on and a pen and paper any minute. But as tough as it was to talk about his feelings, Berwald could feel himself wanting to open up. Quickly he looked over his shoulder to make sure that no one else was in the break room before sucking in a quick breath,

“I know I make him sound like an asshole when I talk ‘bout him sometimes, but there’s so many good things about us too. I just worry that we’re bringin’ out the worst in each other.”

Timo’s smiling face now filled Berwald’s mind's eye, and he wished that he hadn’t seen it replaced with a frown, or tear-filled eyes, or twisted into anger as many times as he had.

“Do ya mind if we offer you some advice?”

Berwald hadn’t noticed Matthias get up, and as he spoke he stood over Berwald’s shoulder and refilled his coffee mug.

Looking up at him, Berwald let his walls drop completely,

“Please.” He said, his tone hopeful.

Sigurd asked Berwald to name some things that Timo did that irritated him, and after thinking for a moment he rattled off a few things; like the fact that he spent too much money when they went to the grocery store on impulse purchases, that he always had to be the one to have the last word, that he could hold a grudge forever as though he were hoping for a Guinness world record, and that he had a harsh tongue that was scarily good at throwing insults.

“Now, what do you think pisses him off about you?” Matthias said with a smirk, chin in palm.

“What?” Berwald raised an eyebrow.

Sigurd shrugged, “Timo isn’t arguing with himself here, come on, think.”

Chewing on his fingernail, Berwald didn’t need to think hard at all.

“I’m stubborn, passive-aggressive, don’t like to admit when I’m wrong.” He mumbled against his finger.

“We know,” Sigurd laughed, and Berwald grimaced,

“But we’re not sayin’ you need to change, just be aware of these things. Tell Timo when he annoys you, and be open to his opinions too. I like the guy, and it’s pretty obvious you two are into each other or you wouldn’t be this upset when you argue.”

Sigurd sat back in his chair and folded his arms across his chest, point made.

“And the sleepin’ on the couch needs to stop. As shitty as it is, being next to Timo means that you aren’t as tempted to sit and overthink when you’re on your own. You say he always has to have the last word, what if that’s an apology or an olive branch even if his back is turned on ya in bed?” Matthias added.

Now it was Berwald’s turn to smirk, “Sounds like you’re speakin’ from experience there,” he said, but was shocked when Matthias grinned and nodded,

“Damn right I am, but now we’re married so take from that advice what you will bro.”

Downing the last dregs of coffee from his mug, Berwald stood up. He collected the three empty mugs and took them to the sink to wash, his way of thanking Matthias and Sigurd for lending an ear.

With a nod in their direction, Berwald left the break room sauntered back to his desk to retrieve his phone;

[Message to Timo: Got a meeting over lunch, but lets cook dinner and talk later. Love you too.]

[newtonsheffield]

I just decided to read through the entire Lavender Haze tag instead of doing the work I'm supposed to be doing, and Kate is so real for declining to go see Tom Dorset's band play. Like as a teenager I would have thought that was the coolest thing ever and as an adult I'm like "no thank you, I'll take the rich, stable Viscount with heated bathroom tiles."

Oh, when she was younger, Kate's dated her fair share of musicians. Drummers and bassists and guitarists, she's been the girl who shows up to her boyfriend's terrible gig and pretends to be supportive.

Now she literally is only interested in this one man who comes into her shop to get his sleeve done, who looks like a stressed owl that accidentally wandered into a daycare.

He's really hot for one, and his voice is like a rich velvet and she can feel the muscles in his arms while she's tattooing him, and he's confident in who he is which is always very sexy.

But there's also something very sweet about him. It's sweet that he takes his siblings out and treats them, sweet that he worries about them. Sweet that she asked what his plans for the weekend were once and he said he was escorting his mother to her friend's Garden party, and he's going to his sister's piano recital and she realises that's what she wants. She wants to date a guy who doesn't treat looking after someone like a chore, he's happy to do it and that's why they're together.

She loves staying in with him on a Saturday night and watching home improvement shows, and taking trips to homeware stores on a Sunday because she wants a new throw for his couch. And Kate has kind of realised that it's possible to just enjoy existing with someone when it's that right person. Yeah, they go out for dinner and drinks and they go to concerts and to the ballet but she also loves just laying next to him on the sofa. Or sitting in her grandparent's living room with him. She loves that too, in fact, she almost loves that more.

Safe to say though, every single one of Kate's ex boyfriends are absolutely fucking stunned when they see the wedding announcement in the newspaper with a photo of the two of them. Ad they see Kate's new husband is Anthony, Viscount Bridgerton. Because there's absolutely no way a girl who's done her fair share of protest graffiti is married to a man with a peerage.

I'm curious now, you don't need write a scenario or anything. Just another brain picking from your favorite bunny.

How different do you think bonten mikey and Manila mikey would treat their s/o? Like they're definetely in different dark headspaces and environments but I don't know how to explain it. I feel Bonten Mikey(I'll refer to as B-Mikey) would 100% be more isolating than Manila Mikey(M-mikey) for the sole reason Bonten Mikey trusts no one in that timeline and got to experience more betrayal within his inner circle.

M-Mikey seems like he had some sort of sanity left, Like a small dot of light in his eyes whereas B-mikeys like is so dim it's reserved for moments where he's alone to actually be felt.

For example

M-Mikey: my mind imagines he would give his S/O a little freedom, but with supervision at all times (but without you knowing. Might make one of the foundees follow you). If he texts, there better be a response or he thinks the worse and the repercussion would be limited freedom.

B-Mikey: limited freedom from the start, can only go to spaces and part of the cities that he owns or completely has control over. Youre supervised and you feel it, Yet others will face more consequences if you're somehow unreachable for a second.

I hope that makes sense. But what about you?! What difference do you think they have in being a boyfriend (or husband).

Another complex character that's truly a wildcard depending on the timeline. I love talking this out with you. After the sanzu breakdown I would love your take.

-🐇

AHH HI BUNNY! Will talk about Mikey all the time I do not care (he ain't even one of my favorites) (I'm a liar) ANYWAYS

I do agree with you for the most part about M and B Mikey, though I'll just elaborate a bit more on how I feel.

To me, M-Mikey feels like he's silently begging for help. You kind of see that tragedy when Takemichi finds him and he's crying, but it feels more...desperate? Maybe is the word I'm looking for? When it comes to a significant other. He's really attached, you being one of the only good things in his life anymore. He's lost (killed) all of his friends, and even if it felt like the only real answer he could possibly turn to, you kind of flipped his world around.

So, M-Mikey latches on to you even if it's subtle. He would let you out, but it's rare, only really letting you go to see your family anymore. He loves you, with everything he has, and sometimes in the solitude of your shared room he'd show that. I think as cold as M-Mikey tends to be, he finds relief whenever you hold his hand, or kiss his temple. You're honestly a bit scared to do more than that sometimes, because you have seen how unstable Mikey can be. But sometimes he just looks at you with sad eyes and a heart breaking smile, and even though he never says it out loud you can hear him asking for some form of sanity. Sometimes he'll just mumbled out 'you're everything to me' before retreating for the night. Sometimes you wish you were able to get more from your husband but when you see how shattered he is it's so hard to ever think about leaving him.

BONTEN MIKEY? I for real don't understand how he has a s/o in the first place I'm not gonna lie. I don't even think there are supervised visits. I think he's cut you off so much your own family thinks your dead. You saw them from the car at your funeral, you stopped even trying to ask Mikey for visitation even if it's only once a year. You have social media, and a phone and a computer, but use is very restricted. As in, he has all your login information, and nothing is actually filled out as yourself. Fake names, no photos up, really just used so you can browse how your friends and family are doing (so long as no one's private, if they are you're shit out of luck.) Don't ask for affection from him, he's not giving you anything. Gifts and money will randomly show up on your bed and in your account, not that it's worth much since you can't go out without a personal body guard to very specific places to shop.

B-Mikey makes time for a once a week private dinner, that's the extent of how I feel he would do things. He comes home every night, late usually, when you're asleep, and if you're not you've stopped trying to greet him. The dinner is quiet, you usually put on a new outfit that you've either purchased yourself or something he's gifted you, and you never leave without your wedding band. The ring feels heavy on your finger, knowing this isn't the man you married years before, but at this point there's no escaping him. He won't let you go, you assume it's because he thinks you know too much about the syndicate. The truth is B-Mikey does have underlying love for you that he doesn't think will ever go away, but he's a cold man to the point of no return.

During the dinners sometimes he'll ask questions I think but like fucking dumb ones, like 'what did you think of the meeting today' like it's a fucking business proposal. He doesn't know how to be normal with you anymore but you're stuck so like that's your life now.

SORRY I TALKED SO MUCH THIS IS SO FUN AAAHH

Stonathan Week Day 6: Music AU - Lead signer Stever. Drummer Jonathan. Do I need to say more?

Flat Flam

Back in the sixties, Joyce Maldonado was a rising star in the Chicago music scene. She had started to drum on everything at a young age after seeing Viola Smith play and left Hawkins to play in Chicago almost the day after graduating high school. She might have become famous if she hadn't gotten back with her high school boyfriend, Lonnie Byers, on a trip home only to get married a few years later and pregnant shortly after that. She loved her son, though, even if her relationship with her husband was tumoltuous and her job unfufilling. Jonathan was her world, and her music lived on through him in wooden spoons on overturned pots or fingers tapping against hard surfaces.

Since a drumset was expensive while cans and buckets were plentiful, she made Jonathan a kit and bought him real drumsticks for the Christmas before her second son was born. They kept it in the shed for Jonathan to play when his parents fought, or his brother wouldn't stop crying, or his feelings got too big. It was the subject of the first photos he took that actually felt like something more than posed tableaus with prompted smiles.`

---

"Let's try a few rehearsal takes."

---

An old friend of his mother, Jim Hopper, came to visit almost five years ago. He had become a record producer in New York City, lost his daughter to cancer and his wife to grief, then moved back to Hawkins for a time before starting his own label. Steve Harrington was his first big find. The guy could do everything - vocals, guitar, keyboard, drums - but his 'friends' were leeches, as Hopper put it, with talent only good enough to be dragged along by Steve. Hopper wanted Joyce's input, and Jonathan went at her request to provide his.

Tommy's drums were immediately identified as the problem. Joyce suggested Jonathan play, just to confirm, and things went sideways when Carol was unable to keep up. Calling her out angered Tommy and, just like Jonathan learned insecure men did from his father, gave Steve an ultimatum of them or his music. Steve chose them only to later regret it and blame Jonathan, leading to a confrontation on the streer that got Jonathan arrested and Steve a black eye.

Ultimately, however, Steve regretted that, as well, and, after an apology and a long talk, they started over.

---

"Count us in, Byers."

---

They recorded an album with Hopper while playing anywhere that would book them. Their first single never gained much traction beyond the local college radio stations, however, but it formed the foundation of something neither of them gave a name to.

They took a break after that. Hopper put his efforts into a singer who went by El while Jonathan focused on his photography. Steve tried higher education upon his parents' request only to flunk his second semester and end up slinging ice cream to pay the bills.

That brought him to Robin, however, and he inexplicably bonded with the aspiring singer-songwriter. Jonathan had developed his own inexplicable bond with Hopper's assistant, Nancy, so he didn't question it. It only mattered that Steve wanted to make music with him - and Robin, but Jonathan was fine with that - again.

Jonathan was a little less fine with the addition of Eddie Munson. The guy seemed to just turn up one day and his style was nothing like Steve's. He brought out something in Steve no one else did, however, so Jonathan kept his skepticism to himself.

It was really jealousy, anyway, and admitting that would end up naming the thing they didn't name.

---

"One, two, three-"

---

Jonathan keeps the beat, reigning in the erratic energy of Eddie's snorting riffs and screaming slides. It is a back and forth, a steady rythym giving Eddie the slack to break free until it is time to pull him back with a fill to keep him from overtaking Steve's vocals that soar through the warmth of Robin's harmony and guitar.

The result is what critics later call "a chimera of genres" that "cleverly blends Harrington's new-wave pop vibes with Buckley's folksy sound over the battle of Munson's metal influence against Byers's more punk drums".

---

"You okay, man?"

Jonathan looks over at Steve. They went out for drinks after the recording session.

Naturally, it turned into a party. Anywhere either Steve or Eddie go turns into a party. Jonathan hates parties, but he has been stuck in Steve's orbit since that first 'I'm sorry'.

"Yeah, no, I'm good. I just-" Jonathan leans on the brick of the alley he tried to escape to. He's surprised Steve came after him. "I feel like an afterthought in there."

Steve leans on the wall beside him. His tongue wets the bow of his lips. The unnamed thing lingers between them.

"You aren't," Steve assures, leaning over to nudge their shoulders together. "Actually, if anything, you are the thought. Without that knock on the head you gave me, I would probably have stuck with Tommy and Carol and ended up in a house on a dead end street living out a dead end life."

Jonathan's soft laugh is interrupted by fingers on his jaw that turn his face towards Steve. His breath is caught by the affection in Steve's hazel eyes and the promises of his smile. It had been short-sighted to think giving the thing between them a name made it more real than it already was.

"If you want to leave," Steve whispers, "say the word and we're gone."

Jonathan swallows. The lyrics of their one single before their hiatus, written by Steve, plays through his mind:

A thump on the head and I'm crawling forward, crawling slowly to you.

Jonathan takes Steve's hand to pull him in. The unnamed thing is said silently by the way their lips fit together, warm and familiar. Jonathan's hand rests against Steve's sternum to feel the beat of his heart. He memorizes it for a later time when he had his sticks in hand.

"Let's go."

my past love life 😣❤️‍🩹

06/29/24

You can call it pathetic… wanting someone to love you back. I was called “clingy” and “desperate” by other guys who were all too happy it didn’t work out with Andrew. Guys I had zero interest in and rather than to be gentle with me and tell me it’s ok, they acted like “ok move on. Don’t be pathetic.” I felt like my whole past love life was a sea of insecure and jealous men who could not wait to use and abuse me 😓 I was overly nice and not quick to judge people. I was super forgiving and dreaming of this “big grand love”. After 3 men in a row took turns exploiting me, I was so unstable and suicidal. Andrew made me feel like left over garbage that he used and tossed in a can. He was all too happy to discard me and watch me suffer. He kept changing his reason for us not working out. I couldn’t get a clear straight answer that I believed and yeah he did “apologize” more than once but it never felt honest or real to me. I was hurting so much, I couldn't believe anything he said really. How much of it was him or me, probably issues on both sides. It’s like I knew all along Andrew was only going to hurt me and yet it still came as a disappointment and a painful heartbreak.

I guess because Andrew would not break up with me. Every time I tried; he talked circles around me and kept promising me things would be different but things got worse and worse with time. To text him, I felt like I was annoying him and bothering him yet at random times, he would act like my boyfriend again and be so romantic with me. Complimented me and I believed he thought I was beautiful but I was confused too.

When I met my husband, he was the 1st guy to not judge me or make me feel stupid. He was the only guy to hold normal conversations with me that didn’t involve sex and he never pressured me for my nudes. He was just nice all around. I felt different with him, that’s why I married him so fast to escape all the jealous men. I felt like a human with him and not just some machine guys want to control. Idk why I attracted so many insecure men… maybe because I felt so bad about my own self and worked so hard to make sure no one else felt as bad as me. I would send men heart emoji’s and encourage them, even if I didn’t wanna date them…. Was I leading them on??? (Wasn’t trying to) I had men constantly sending me d*ck pics on kik and Snapchat, spamming me with attention but yet I felt like the most alone person in the world always. 🥺💔

at 26, I felt like all men cared about was sex and after I broke up with Andrew, I was so very sad and down on myself. Men continued to send me nasty pics and try to talk dirty with me. I remember talking to this guy at the time and we’re “sexting” and I just felt incredibly sad and empty. I knew the guy wanted it to be more than that and I was just letting it happen but didn’t like it and missed Andrew so badly. I know that was unfair of me to do and I felt so bad but like, I had started to make myself believe that it was life. That men only wanted sex and I had to put up with it.

I had disrespected myself so much, I saw almost no hope for “love” or “happiness”. Plus the moments Andrew would come back and give me so many different stories about “the truth” and told me, “I don’t know how to help you… you just need to time to get over me.” 😒😒😒 I didn’t care for his attitude. He was just soo full of himself and thought he was better than me and that’s his problem. I KNOW he’s not better than me or superior to me. I never thought I was perfect or better than him and I still don’t. I still care about if he’s doing well or not cuz I am capable of love and caring for people. Every guy from my past, holds some kind of meaning to me even if it was just exchanging photos or just being friends.

I can still name and remember faces of a lot of men from my past. I look back and recall their behaviors and reactions towards me…. Majority of them were emotionally unavailable, insecure and critical but then some were actually looking for relationship but I was so closed off to the idea because I was so cold and numb. Cody left me in a very dark space where I just did not care. I talked so many men after cody and they would send me d*ck pics and I was angry at my life. I for sure did not love myself nor was I remotely happy. I ONLY felt a moment of happiness when I was “dating” Andrew and thought we could potentially be falling in love together and I started to let my guard down with him…. We had moments where I felt so wanted and adored by Andrew but it quickly faded and was replaced with feelings of “im bothering him” and “I’m an annoyance” to him. I pushed to keep the “love bomb” phase. I worked so hard to get that time back but once he pulled away and started to expose his real intentions, I was feeling sooooooo worthless and sad. I was sad long before we broke up.

The times Andrew would PROMISE ME I was his priority and he didn’t wanna break up but I was feeling on edge like it was hard to believe him and trust him because 3 times we went through that same conversation and I continued to feel uneasy and stupid. But I wanted him so bad I was truly anxious and desperate to make it work.

there is sooooo much I could say about my past love life and write so much about the many men of my past. The men who befriended me that I didn’t love but yet we were close and of course Cody and Andrew who stole my heart and abused it. I only acknowledge those 2 really cuz they impacted me the most and I went through hell with them. I loved them more than I ever loved myself ❤️‍🩹💔 I would’ve saved them from a train. I would have went to Jupiter to be with them. They were both separately but equally my whole universe. Giving them that kind of power is what ruined my life. I had no idea they would do as much damage as they did but NOW I’m healing from them. Cody and Andrew, I’ll NEVER forget you both. I only wanted to hold your hearts and gently kiss your souls. I wanted you guys to be ok. I STILL want you to be ok..

they’ll never understand me and the way my mind and heart works ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹😔

Stephen Schneider: Heterosexual love interest, heterosexual bottom, hung sleazoid, diversity dad

 Stephen Schneider's profile on the IMDB tells us only that he was born in Sharon, Massachusetts and he's married with children.  Wikipedia adds that he's Jewish. He graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, started a sketch comedy website, and wrote, produced, and starred in some short films, including "Not Gay," 2006.

Soon Stephen found his niche in comedy, playing quirky boyfriends.

Ray Stark, the Love Interest of one of the Best Friends Forever, 2012.

Ben in the relationship comedy, Things You Shouldn't Say Past Midnight, 2014.

You're the Worst, 2014-17, follows the romance of two horrible people, Jimmy and Gretchen.  Stephen plays Gretchen's ex, who is still in love with her.  They eventually hookup, of course.

Stephen is on the IMBD list of Hung Actors, along with Derek Yates,John Cena, and Ben Affleck -- #32, but I don't think it's organized by size.  He gets naked here, but no frontal.

Broad City, 2014-2017, follows two female best friends looking for love and sex in contemporary New York. Stephen plays Abbi's hunky next door neighbor, whom she is crushing on.  When they finally hook up, she discovers that he's a heterosexual anal bottom. 

For someone who gets placed on the Hung List, Stephen is rather stingy about nudity.  In Broad City, all we get are underwear shots

Imaginary Mary, 2016-17, follows public relations executive Alice getting career and relationship advice from the imaginary friend from her childhood.  Stephen plays Ben, her Love Interest.  He doesn't strip, but Nicholas Coombe, playing his teenage son, does.

In Breaking Them Up, 2020, Stephen makes the break from Love Interests to Dads. Fifteen-year old Damien enlists the help of his nonbinary best buddy Erin in breaking up his parents so they can find better partners.

Best Foot Forward, 2022, is a change of pace for Stephen: the father of a kid with a prosthetic leg negotiating public school. A profile oN CBS Philadelphia notes that Logan Marmino, who plays Josh, is an accomplished athlete: he plays on his school baseball team, competes in Paralymptic track, and is into basketball, surfing, skateboarding, and running in 5ks

Stephen's favorite role to date is in Season 3 of The Righteous Gemstones: his Stephen Downes, a guitarist, has an affair with singer Judy Gemstone while they are on tour.  She ends it, but he refuses to let her go, teasing her husband BJ about his sexploits and calling him a "faggot" for disapproving of sleaze talk.

Left: Stephen and Tim Baltz (BJ) have dinner with their tv wives and real-life wives (not shown)

He even sends BJ an erotic photo brag about his sexual prowess.  Actually, it doesn't really belonging to Stephen.  But not to worry, he's naked for five minutes in a later episode.

The full post, with nude photos and explicit sexual content, is on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends

Opinion: Froot's two exes should stop acting like every form of relationship cheating is the absolute worst thing than death itself.

Are you two even aware women have a habit of changing their relationships if they feel it isn't suited to them? Such break ups do happen here. Such is how it happens in life. Men aren't perfect either. Shall I explain how Men have attacked their own Men when it comes to Men and Women relationship competitiveness issues? Men have placed their own double standards on their own gender, harshly punishing their kin if their relationship with the woman they loved went terrible as to validate one's entitled ego into making themselves the lesser problematic yet superior better choice as part of the toxic alpha male mentality kind impression they would leave on a woman they want to obtain as their own, after taking down their competitive brethren.

One of her exes her second ex boyfriend has already helped prove Froot's personal opinion case, her exes in her point of view are terrible stalkers. One example after watching ant_hime's youtube video on Froot. Is Froot's second ex boyfriend apparently giving Froot's real life 18+ photos to a random stranger that's thought to be a trusted friend of his. Which got leaked on the 4chan forums. This one is a mistake on Froot for thinking the 4chan community is completely trustworthy. Second ex boyfriend regretted that decision, yet seems to insist speaking out against Froot. Rather than distance himself away from her. It's not like Froot has affected his any other job careers. Froot's military ex husband seems rather unusually calm and not worried Froot is getting attacked by ant_hime's pinned twitter posts that are clearly attacking a peace life desiring Froot, if only for ant's personal gain. What ever happened to if you truly loved them, you would do what's best to be on best terms with them? I'm reading Froot's ex husband is getting a chuckle seeing the unholy internet's wrath brought on Froot. Himself seeing it as an amusing meme. By not helping to intervene and callout those like ant_hime for trying to destroy Froot's life. He is giving Froot rights not to trust him, which makes her two exes arguments less compelling to trust and root for them. To anyone who feel like Froot has messed with their money over commission arts. Send your receipts to Froot personally. Touch grass and go to her. Stop thinking Froot is pure evil. All this merciless harassment will do is just validate handful groups of feminists with plenty of reasons to distrust men for the many years to come. Revenge is a double edged sword. It gets rid of one obstacle, but it never gets rid of the aftermath that will come haunting you with consequences for the rest of your life. Just. Please. Give. Froot, compassionate mercy. If you think Froot's mother is a problem. Do a further investigation into her. Employ more efficient methods in doing so. Otherwise, I think you might just be getting too petty into it and desire to spite Froot further. I'm looking at you lot trying to get ant_hime's one youtube video on Froot so many views with your bot programs just to get back at her.

Meredith would giggle as she accepted the hug from the toad. "It certainly is a surprise! If we had known that you had been in contact with our daughter, we would have arranged things differently."

The mother continued to listen to what Globox had to say about Rayman. He sounded like an amazing person, just misguided and manipulated by Eden. "I'm not sure if my husband told this story or not, since I just got here, but Cliff came across Ellie and Rayman one day while out patrolling in Eden for one of his resistance missions. I believe it was around her apartment area? He had taken a picture of them coming out of the apartment complex."

"Ellie...you looked so happy that day and we knew that you were safe. But...we weren't fully aware of what situation you were in and we didn't want to get you in trouble with your boyfriend. Since, you know, he was The Voice of Eden at the time." Her husband chimed in.

"I never once stalked you two, be it as The Voice of Eden or Ramon. I just happen to be in the same area as you at times and that's when I tried to get any photos or videos so I could update your mother that you were alive and well."

"Ramon? Oh you mean the trenchcoat guy? Who would have thought that Rayman and Ramon would be the same person!" The older woman replied.

"I was in my own resistance group and not only hid it from him while we were dating, but also my real name as well. I went by Rosemary Scott, or Rose for short after the person who saved my life while on one of our missions. As you know dad, there are rumors amongst the resistance groups about Rayman. I was afraid something horrible was going to happen once I revealed my true identity."

"Despite that fear, I wanted to get to know him and overtime I grew to love him. Yes, there was drama that happened once I told Rayman the truth, but nothing horrible happened like I thought. I was afraid I was either going to jail or get the death penalty."

"Oh honey, come here." Meredith hugged her daughter and urged Cliff to come in so they could have a family hug. "I'm sure you've been through a lot dear, but know this. We will definitely be more of an active part of your life now that we've finally reunited. Your father is a resistance member and I'm a doctor. You will be taken care of very well on top of your wonderful found family of friends."

"Well now that that's out of the way, what's this about my daughter being in some sort of danger? Do I have to put someone six feet under or what?"

"Uh...no? Murfy gave the guy a stern talking to, so now he should leave me alone. I'm not worried though because I know everything will be okay. I'm not invincible by any means dad, but I know there are people out there that will risk their lives for me and have my back."

"Rayman was really cool and dreamy that day. He's come such a long way since we first dated back when he was the voice and I couldn't be more proud of him with how far he's come."

"Dreamy huh?" The blonde man chuckled. "Your my daughter, so I'd do anything for you. Yes that even means eliminating bad people from your life. I...I've...had my share of kills here and there. But I only do so to protect innocent people and save them."

"Eden sucks, and I don't trust your mother to come by herself. So when she does ever come, she's with me. Yes, even if it's running a mundane errand like getting necessities from the store. I never, ever, let her out of my sight."

Ramon would take a moment to readjust his hair back into the tuft style and would stare off towards the floor for a moment when Cliff asked about his reason for the murder.

"I just... snapped. Had it not been for Bullfrog or Ellie I might've never accepted just how bad Eden really was. Mona was right. I really was so stubborn. So oblivious to what was really going on. I'm still trying to come to terms with everything. I know it's been months by now but I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything.

There's still things I'm learning about. I'm only now learning just how bad The Emperor really was. I thought The Emperor was my friend. He was my mentor, my inspiration. All of that was a lie and I'm still recovering from that harsh truth. Being in the company of so many people that cared so much for me really did help soften the blow.

I know what a resistance member is, sir. As a matter of fact I became one as well after I was fired. I'm a member of Murfy's group. I don't do any hacking, I'm more of the bodyguard. I help keep Mona and Ellie safe while they're on the job. I don't have a fancy code name and neither does Bullfrog, but I know Murfy goes by J.M. Murphy and Mona uses her stage name of "Mona Lisa" sometimes.

Wait... You knew Globox?"

His question would be cut off by the arrival of Meredith. He would smile and would run over to help clean up the groceries that she dropped. He set them in a neat pile as the parents would focus on their daughter. Rayman would give a sweet chuckle when he was asked if he agreed.

"I do see the resemblance! It's nice to meet you ma'am. I'm--"

He would be cut off once more as Globox would start to walk into the house with some of the luggage. He would go over to greet Meredith with the same hug that lifted her off her feet before setting her down once more.

"SURPRISE! I had no idea you and Cliff were coming down this way! I was telling your husband that had I known we were headed to the same place, I would have spilled the beans on this little visit much sooner.

I know Cliff had a chance to talk to him, but allow me to introduce him. This is Rayman. He's... Well he's that long lost brother of mine I keep telling you about. Swell guy, cares greatly about others, and wait until you see him when he's trying to impress the kids. The stuff those stupid cameras don't show. I know Eden projected him in a bad light, but deep down he was just a misguided and manipulated soul. I saw a lot of things when I was in video calls with Murfy. He really does care so much about Ellie, and that's the truth.

They saved each other's lives countless times, both literally and figuratively. Did you know he shot up an entire warehouse full of slave traders to rescue her from a traitor in her own group!?"

"Ix-nay on the aitor-tray, Globox."

Random Secrets from Others 2! [True or False]

Created by joybucket

I have a lot of fun making these. These are random people's secrets that I have found online. Put an X next to the secrets that you share, and elaborate if you wish. Have fun! :)

Everyone around me is religious, but I'm an atheist, and no one knows. My friend told me he has cancer and will likely die within a year. ....and he told me not to tell anyone about it. I absolutely loved being pregnant and would gladly carry someone else's child. 🤰 I'm jealous of women who have a happy experience while pregnant. 🤰 I feel like I'm so far behind when it comes to dating that I never really had the courage to ask anyone out. I was raised super religious, and I started losing my faith when I was 23. (earlier) My first two years of college were the best two years of my life so far, and I wish I could go back and re-live them again. I've relapsed with my anorexia. ...I know I've relapsed. I know this could kill me. But it's not enough for me to overcome the messed up part of my brain that says "at least you'll die thinner." I've been dealing with an eating disorder for over a decade now, and it's not an easy battle. My parents don't know I'm gay. If they found out I'd end up homeless. My family doesn't know I walked out on my job nearly four weeks ago, and I'm too embarrassed to tell them, because I don't want any more financial help from them. My depression hasn't actually gotten any better and if anything, it has gotten worse. But I feel so guilty every time I talk to my friends about it, so I stopped talking about it, and now everyone thinks I'm doing better. I don't know what to do. My life isn't perfect. In fact, it's far from it. I just found out I'm pregnant. I haven't let anyone take a photo of me in years, because I gained weight. I haven't been able to feel genuine happiness for a long time now; I've only been able to feel stress, sadness, and anger. It's driving me crazy. I'm soon to be homeless. My high school best friend was gay. ....and he was in a leadership position in the local church. ....even when he was married to a woman, while at the same time sleeping with a man. I just graduated from college, and now I'm really depressed. I don't feel an emotional connection to any of my friends or family. Despite being really happy and satisfied in my current relationship, I still have feelings for my ex. I'm in love with my best friend. One of my biggest fears is losing touch with reality. I've been hallucinating, and I'm scared to tell anyone. I have a chronic illness and I'm making it worse by staying in the workforce, but I get so much of my identity from my career that I just can't leave it yet. I was sexually assaulted as a high schooler, and I still blame myself. I like drinking more than I have a desire to stop, and I'm not sure where that's going to lead me. I've had people wonder dumbfounded at how I'm still single. I'm bulimic. Only my wife knows, and not to the fullest extent. My grades have dropped dramatically since I went to college, and I'm too ashamed to tell my parents. I had feelings for a man that was older than my dad. I don't feel motivated enough to go back to college, but I'm afraid to tell anyone that, because they'll probably just brush it off by saying I'm lazy. I'm sleeping with my coworker. (he’s my husband lol) I have a boyfriend in another city. I weigh more than I care to admit. I don't love him. I just lust after him. I am sleeping with him for his money. I hate his new girlfriend, but I smile when she is around. I'm terrified of having children. I was raped. My best friend saved my life. I'm bisexual. ....and I feel alone at church because of it. I've stuffed my bra. I used to be a Christian, but I'm not sure I would call myself one anymore. I joined a sports team so I could see everyone naked. COVID taught me who my real friends are. George Floyd's death taught me who the true racists are. Technology today makes me feel like an alien. 💻👽 Gambling destroyed my last marriage. The problem with getting to know people is that once you know them, you might not want to know them anymore. I plan to end it all soon. Finally. I am asexual. ....and I don't know where I fit in! Most of the time I feel like a complete loser and failure. I'll never give up. I smoke pot, and I'm afraid I'm smoking away my future. My local public library played a crucial role in my recovery from severe depression. 📚 I am proving to my childhood self that I'm exactly who I promised who I would be. I'm really proud of that. I wish I had spent more time just being a kid. I think most adults are kind of boring...but they don't have to be. Honestly, I'm glad the weddings I had for 2020 were canceled. My friends' weddings were getting EXPENSIVE! 💒 Now that we are forced to be distant, I finally realized I am ready to be close to someone again. My ring is fake. I'm THAT lonely and THAT pathetic. 💍 I want to have ceiling stars in my bedroom even when I'm married with kids of my own. ✨ I feel helpless watching your mental illness destroy you. I'm cheating in my college classes. I'm trying real hard not to panic. Just for once, I'd like to be the pretty girl. It is so hard to make friends in college. College was easy for making friends, even for an introvert like me. It's the "real" adult world that shrinks your friend base. My dad used to spank my mom in front of us. I'm terrified that this might end with you killing me. Never once did I imagine that love might be so hard to find. Maybe it only happens to others. Some people plan vacations; I plan my divorce. I wasted so many years. I really want to be famous, but only so I can meet other famous people. My porn addiction made me unable to feel real love. I am starting to like myself fully for the first time. I've stalked my crushes on social media. My work friends are my only friends. I'm thinking of getting back together with my ex, so I won't have to spend the festive season alone. 🎄 I married a man I didn't love to wound the one who meant the world to me. I'd never known joy until I started traveling alone. Everyone envies that I'm traveling the world, when what I want most is for you to ask me to stay. My personality is dependent on coffee. ☕️ All signs point to God. But I don't WANT them to! I have a chronic disease that is slowly killing me. I'm mad at myself for taking so long to figure out it was rape. I've finally stopped trying to be perfect. I've never been happier. Now that I look the way I always wanted to look, I'm less happy than before. Words cannot describe how thankful I am that your suicide attempt failed. Being gay is much less fun now that we've forced them to accept us. 🏳️‍🌈 My life looks much better on social media. Truth is, I'm miserable. I want another child so badly.
