Xavier: *sarcastic* "Haha"

Ajax: *looks sad*

Iconic Homoerotic Betrayal: Round 1

Round 1 Directory

Context (they're really good very passionate):

Nagi/Reo (Blue Lock)

basicallt bluelock is a soccer program being funded by the soccer association (i swear i know soccer im tryna speed through this) theyre tryna make it so japan wins the world cup and to do so you need a strong striker. so they gathered all the young adults (hs graduates) and put them in this program, which, if you're eliminated, you dont have a career in soccer at ALL. they didnt know this walking into it :p. so reo and nagi met in school and reo saw him (rich kid, gets what he wants but doesnt really know what he wants yk) and said that he has to have him. or....... something. anyways, reo needed someone to learn soccer with and he chose the most antisocial sleepy guy on campus. and then proceeded to be an absolute simp (theres a scene he literally massages his back.) he also has canonically called nagi "good boy" (nagi said "yes boss" to him as well) context for the specfic betrayal was the game required them to be in teams of 3 and this is after reo and nagi's previous team of like 8-10 lost to isagi's team. reo and nagi said that they were going to go to win the world cup together. thats always been their promise. (theyve known each other for half a year i think. which is a short amount of time to be so attached LMAO.)

they also have a second betrayal which is honestly worse than this one, and reo's team loses to isagi/nagi's team and nagi tells him he's done with reo.

its a common theme of nagi never picking reo btw. reo was upset after the game because after you win a mtach you pick someone from the losing team to advance with and NAGI DIDNT ADVOCATE FOR REO HARD ENOUGH I GUESS AND ISAGI TOLD THEM ALL THAT THE BEST CHOICE WAS CHIGIRI. so they had another homoerotic fight that im never getting over. hope this meets ur criteria. they're in their exes era. its slightly better tho because nagi does feel bad/sorry for what he said.

(Other anon, I'll include your essay if they make it into the next round)

Geto/Gojo

"He was my friend, my one and only" ultrapowerful, one tried for it one born with it bitches but the twist is one was so consumed by the twisted horrible nature of humanity he went all Magneto but a lot more murderous while the other one only stays nonmurderous because he believes in changing the system by training the next generation. You don't understand he spared him, you don't understand, Gojo's devastation of knowing that he didn't do anything to help him as he slowly literally ate and ate and ate hate and pain to protect people that didn't protect his own. The devastation of knowing that there was nothing else to say nothing to do no way to help him bring him back he'd changed into someone he understood but simply couldn't support. Geto's betrayal, leaving everything and everyone behind because their way not only wasn't working but it was protecting those who wouldn't protect them. Geto laughed for the first time in ten years after all this when Gojo said something to him , the moment before he (Gojo) killed him, carried his body, refused to have it burned. Geto gets basically possessed and when Gojo sees not!him for the first time he freezes and gets captured, Geto almost breaks the possession momentarily whe he hears his name , he doesn't, Gojo gets captured, Geto is stuck, cursed , dead.

WIP Wednesday

Sliding in here with 30 minutes to spare after being tagged by @gaeadene and @direwombat! Tagging whoever wants to do it lol

This is a Soap fic with a southern plus sized nurse reader (listen she’s 2 steps from being an OC but imo the important part on the reader aspect is the flexibility to see yourself as the character and a part of that being no physical descriptors and we’ve checked that box okay? Okay.)

Anyway, she’s a holy terror but great at her job which is the only reason she’s not reprimanded near as much as she should be or frankly fired

Grumpy x Sunshine trope abound with Soap being the simp Sunshine of course. And a slight twist on the “Who hurt you” trope because Honey knows who did and she’s fucking pissed lmao

Told via Price’s POV because it’s funnier this way also Im a hopeless simp for that man

John has questions, wants to know what the hell went so wrong so quickly with Soap’s recovery. The surgeon who performed the operation has an answer for every inquiry but John’s medical knowledge is limited beyond the scope of emergency care to ensure the soldiers under his charge live long enough to make it to the table if needed.

He can’t help but feel he’s being soothed and placated with bullshit, but doesn’t know enough to go toe to toe with the surgeon the way he feels he should be. John’s more than willing to advocate for his subordinates and the whole situation has left a foul taste in his mouth but not in a way he can readily articulate and argue over.

The sight of you storming up to the surgeon is an unexpected boone. You’re so locked in on the doctor it’s clear you haven’t noticed John until you’re damn near on top of the pair of men. There’s a file in your hand- though it’s poised like you’re ready to launch it-, and he can see Sgt. John “Soap” Mactavish scrawled across the front of it.

Price has, the more he’s gotten to know you, realized just how horrid your temper can be when provoked and given the fact he’s got the sneaking suspicion that Soap coding is what light this particular fire-

Well, he’s got no interest in cooling you off.

The surgeon realizes that you’re heading straight for his throat, sending John a reproachful look Here she goes.

You only stop when you see Price, the haze of red clearing enough to recognize a potential witness- even though John has absolutely zero intention of stopping you.

“Captain Price.” It’s odd, he thinks- hearing his name laced with such venom when absolutely none of it is pointed in his direction.

You seem to gather yourself- a deep inhale, shoulders relaxing ever so slightly.

John’s opening his mouth to greet you when the surgeon opens his.

“I’m not in the mood today, Honey-”

-And just like that any attempt at self soothing has gone clear out the window.

“I ain’t your goddamn wife so why the fuck would I care what kinda mood you’re in?”

Oh. And this is why he hears the comments about the preceptor who breathes fire.

John can’t help but feel that fire is going in a direction that he wants it to go, so he sits back and observes.

Your attention turns to John, expression softening for the slightest nanosecond from near-blind rage to “I am pissed off beyond all belief but not at you” “Captain- can you give us a second?”

It’s a wonder the way hospital hierarchy works. The surgeon is a newer resident but should be well enough trained- and yet here you are, a well seasoned nurse armed with a paper copy of a patient file which means you had to have gone out of your way to get a hold of it.

John wants to watch what happens next. He’s got a feeling that he’s going to hear plenty shortly.

“Yes ma’am,” he steps past you, finally feeling somewhat satisfied with the way his conversation with the resident is going.

No sooner than his hand touches the door to shut it are you flinging the paper copy of Soap’s file down on the doctor’s desk with a whooshing thud. The door has not yet closed and John hears you clear as day seething “Where in the sam hill did you get your medical degree- fucking Craigslist?!“

John may not know enough to go toe to toe with the surgeon but you sure as hell did. Clearly you’d barely had the presence of mind to avoid a public dressing down, but have full intentions of reading the resident the riot act.

It wasn’t much of a shouting match, and John can’t help but feel suspiciously vindicated at the way the resident isn’t shutting you down.

And sure, part of it may be that the young surgeon has realized it’s easier to let you do as you please- but John’s got the suspicion that he knows you’re right.

Harsh? Yes. Aggressive? Yes. Insubordinate? Absolutely.

But you’re not wrong. The surgeon is young and full of himself and cocky and there’s no way he’s taking your lashings sitting down because he feels like amusing you.

It goes on for 20 minutes. John checked his watch about the time you’d seemed to hit your stride.

[the-crow-binary]

🔥 for ships ? Both as in specific ships or shipping in general

Welllll :3

Talking about ships in general, i'm all for shipping whoever you want (in terms of fictional characters, that is). The way i see shipping, it's not so different from engaging in certain activities with other consensual adults/people of the same age as you, wether it being sexual or not. It can be a safe way to experiment whatever you want, when it's not just straight up fun/interesting. (you go girl, ship that abusive relationship ! write about it ! make it worse why don't ya <3 as long as you know it's an abusive relationship and don't condone it irl, ofc <3) People just need to stop forgetting the line beetween fiction and reality everytime something they don't like happens (I'm not into quite a few things but i also don't care if others are. liking something in fiction doesn't mean you like it irl. i mean i'm an afab loving women who simps for fictional men lmao, there's many things people are into when it's fictional but not irl, like, psychopath characters. i just don't see why suddenly what you like in fiction automatically means it's what you like irl when it comes to more "sensitive" subjects)

NOW ONTO SPECIFIC SHIPS (everything from this point forward is Castlevania only because i'm obsessed):

Mathias x Leon: LEON TOPS. MATHIAS BOTTOM. TIRED OF MATHIAS TOPPING. PRETTY BLOND BOY HAS A MANHOOD TOO LET HIM USE IT ON HIS BESTIE !! (not to mention i think Leon is physically stronger than Mathias, wich is kinky, and also, smoll top toll bottom <3 well the height difference isn't that big but still)

Walter x Joachim: Same as Mathias/Leon. LET JOACHIM TOP !!! Let Walter manipulate him by making him feel in control even though he's just a pawn in his mischievious hands <3

Alucard x Maria: Is it even a popular ship ? Idk. But i don't like it. I don't feel the chemistry, Maria going after him seems too forced, it's like a cheap DracuLisa knockoff and THEY didn't get ONE SCENE together lmao (though Richter was cute for encouraging her to go even though he must've been in SHAMBLES after the traumatic events he just went through)

Dracula x anyone: i am once again advocating for letting Dracula switch once in a while. Lisa definitely pegged him

Soma x Mina: Big meh for me. Especially because i prefer to imagine Mina as being Sarah's reincarnation rather than Lisa/Elisabetha even if it's probably not the idea intended lol (Mathias x Sarah ? That sure is an awkward crack!ship) But also, none of them really impress me... eh.

Idk what over ship to talk about... but in terms of ships i have that are unpopular, well...

Dracula x Mathias (i have two reasons to ship it: one because it's hot. two because it can make for a nice story about self-love and the bitter acceptation of your fate <3)

Dracula x his Castle (I AM ONCE AGAIN STATING THAT DRACULA WILL NOT STUCK HIS PP INTO THE WALLS. THIS IS A STORY OF ABSTRACT LOVE)

Isaac x Trevor (?? is it even unpopular idk. It shouldn't be. I mean have y'all seen THE STABBING SCENE ?? And have you seen it in JAPANESE ??? WITH THE ASMR KING ISAAC ??)

Isaac x Grant (it started as a joke but i'm not so sure anymore)

Mathias x Walter (They did not get to interact in the game and it should count as a CRIME. I WANT TO SEE THE SCENE WHERE MATHIAS SEDUCES WALTER WITH HIS WORDS AND PROBABLY OTHER THINGS AS WELL. I WANT TO SEE THE TWO MANIPULATIVE BASTARDS TRYING TO GET INTO EACH OTHER'S HEADS AND PANTS. THEY !!! GAH)

Will I dare include a ship with Benedict ? Yes i will. BB x Isaac they're just so good for each other

Anyway. It's all that comes to mind for now <3

[serpenteve]

is it just me who thinks that both versions of the darkling suck at manipulation? it's obvious that show Darkles was just not trying at all because he fell in love pretty much at first sight, but I don't think book Darkles was very good at it either? Alina never really becomes dependent on him at all, he very obviously did not set out to seduce her romantically (despite the retcon in R&R) and even seems to be avoiding her at points. Alina is never convinced at any point that he's into her beyond physically lol. I definitely do not believe book Darkles when he tried to say he wouldn't have collared her if she hadn't run away though - she was going to end up in it eventually no matter what. I think he did a good job of feeding her insecurity around her summoning but beyond that...I mean he couldn't even get her to be loyal to HIM let alone all the Grisha. What are your thoughts?

I don't know what was in the script, but Ben plays the Darkling like a lovesick puppy with TERRIBLE game because he hasn't been on a date in like 300 years ☠️

Like, the whole "darkles manipulated alina" narrative in the show is a fucking joke to me because all I see is fucking idiot who is genuinely like *shocked pikachu face* when Alina hates him for putting that collar on her like "whaaat? She doesn't like that I killed a magical deer for her and used it's antlers to gift her this awesome necklace that gives her a massive power boost??? Why is she yelling at me like that??"

Like, dude. Buy her dinner first 😂

The only time I feel like he actually manipulates her is when he implies they're going to destroy the Fold but then he's like "pfffft why would be destroy it when it's the greatest weapon we have" and she's like "YOU LIED!!" and then Ben has this truly hammy moment where he does this dramatic ass villain turn while his face is obscured by darkness but even then it's like "Yeah, she hates me now but she'll forgive me in t-minus 15 years and then the wedding is back on" 🤡

The story tries so hard to be like "he's pURe EviL!!1" and it's literally just darkles looking at Alina with literal TEARS in his eyes or even bothering to show so much genuine emotion when he doesn't even have to because Alina isn't even in the damn scene to witness it 😂

Like that time he was acting like a heartbroken 15 year old when he gets roasted by Kaz or stands on the other side of the door after Alina left and all you can do is point and laugh at this immortal dumbass like

So maybe there was *an attempt* by Show!Darkling to manipulate Alina at the start but that pretty much went out the window when she first started yelling at him and he immediately decided to plan their immortal married life together like a hopeless dork:

In conclusion: show!Darkling is a hopeless simp whose entire eViL pLaN got derailed because he caught feelings for an angry sunbeam 😌

As for book!Darkling, he at least didn't get his plan derailed until much later and unlike his show counterpart, actively HATED his crush on Alina? Like it was a massive fucking inconvenience to him and he'd be so embarrassed to see the absolute simping clownery that show!Darkling got into that he'd probably fake his death again.

But the other thing about the book is that book!Alina herself is so desperate for approval and a place to belong that she makes it very easy to manipulate and play on her emotions.

The reason book!Darkling comes across as more morally grey is because a lot of his actions always end up serving like two different purposes (one of them working in Alina's favour, and the other self-serving):

He deliberately keeps Mal's letters away from her to try and cut her connections to the past, but this actually ends up being a good thing because even Alina later admits that had he not sabotaged her communications with Mal, there's no way she would have learned to summon her power on her own (In the show, it comes across more like Darkles is low-key jealous that Alina has a strapping boyfriend and he probably cries himself to sleep reading their letters lmao)

He initially stands up to Alina getting railed on by Baghra when her summoning is weak because he doesn't really need her to be a good summoner if he can just strap a collar on her BUT this ends up helping Alina feel better about herself because he's like the only person who ever advocates for her or gently encourages her

He lies to her about destroying the Fold but his plan actually makes a lot more sense, especially looking at the complete clusterfuck Ravka became after the Fold got destroyed lmao 😂

You could argue his first kiss is pure calculation because he wanted Alina to be loyal to him with something other than duty or fear, but his second kiss at the Winter Fete was literally just him losing his cool and he even admits he doesn't want to give in to his "weak" puny mortal emotions, but this implies there is still some humanity left in him

Had Baghra not shown up to warn Alina, it's likely Alina would have worn the stag collar with 100% consent because she was looking forward to it, but she likely would not have consented to him using her powers to expand the Fold so when he says "that was never my intention" with regards to collaring Alina, I think he really means that it was never his intention to collar her without her consent but he decided he was gonna do it anyway once she ran off....however, I think he's being deliberately vague by leaving off the part where he planned on using her power to destroy a village lmao

So while I think book!Darkling definitely manipulates her because he's a man for whom the ends always justify the means, it still leaves me feeling kinda "meh" about the whole thing because had Alina been a more morally grey character herself, they could have literally just taken over the world???? the wasted potential 😭

Brand | Fives

So! It’s been an eternity since I posted a fic on here - because I was lacking inspiration, and the last time I posted a fic was not long after TCW went off the air - and quite honestly, I was intending to stop posting on Tumblr entirely because even though I now have 1600 followers, I receive better feedback anywhere else but here. 

This fic changes that. Believe it or not, this is my first soulmate!au, and it’s probably the only one I will write! My internet bestie asked me to write a Fives fic, and coupling it with some sprinkled lyrics from The Way I Loved You, this kid was born! I hope you all love it, and I’d love to hear what you think! 

tag: @icanbringyouincold​ // @captainrexstan​ // @embarrassedauthornerd​ // @simping-for-fives​

You’ve never been one for the laughable. Why on earth would the Maker have the concept of soulmates be birthed into this life and keep yours from you? It’s kriffing ridiculous. 

  “Did you see the marks yet? They look like little symbols.. mine are hearts! They appear each place I’m to eventually kiss my soulmate. And you can only see them on the person who’s meant to be your soulmate!” 

Every single time one of your friends brings it up to you - whether or not its at the market, or the bar, or the library - you simply snort and wave your hand dismissively. You’re far too old for soulmates, much less to be able to find yours now. 

Is anyone really that lucky? 

*** 

Dove is sitting at the bar with three of the Coruscant Guard when the idea flits into her head. As the PA to Chancellor Palpatine, she often takes her nights to spend them chatting over a glass of scotch - something Fox had gotten her into during their first date, oddly enough - and nursing bruised knuckles from another bar fight she had won. 

The Corrie Guard makes bets on their PA now. She’s a force to be reckoned with. 

ARC Trooper Fives saunters in by the side of his twin, ARC Trooper Echo. They’ve both been freshly promoted. Dove already knew this, given the nature of how much information she was privy to in regards to the GAR, but she’s keenly interested in the newly promoted trooper because she knows how flirty he is. 

How unfortunate she happens to be friends with you. 

  “Oh, come on... you’re not serious. Are you serious?” You deadpan, tracing a finger along the rim of your glass. “The man is like walking sex and he knows it! He’s not even my type!” A hand wraps around Dove’s wrist as you guide her hand in the direction of his brother, who is nervously attached to his hip. Apparently Seventy-Nines is not exactly his scene. “Him? He is.” 

Dove laughs. It’s a bright, joyful sound that resonates through the thrumming beat of the music that flows through the bar. “Echo is a wonderful trooper and someone I very highly respect given how intelligent he is. He’s a good man. But Fives? Look at him.” You follow Dove’s gaze as Fives weaves in and out of the crowd, flashing a sultry smile and a flirty wink at the waitresses as he sits with another trooper - this one in 501st blue and white with a Republic tattoo on his head - at the opposite end of the bar. “All the charisma and sex appeal... and an advocate for his brothers to get the rights he feels he deserves? That’s a real man right there, and you know it.” 

You run a hand through your hair. It’s so kriffing difficult to gather the courage to take one step. You’re not a naturally flirty person, and it takes all of your energy to be able to hold a conversation with people for more then a few minutes. Dove is right though... there is something naturally alluring about Fives that draws you to him. 

  “There you go... go get him!” 

Your feet drag you in the direction of the ARC Trooper. You shyly tuck a strand of hair behind your ear as Echo sees you first, nudging Fives in the side as you approach, and the twins part to create just enough space for you to stand between them. You can’t help the grin that follows your arrival. 

  “And what’s a pretty thing like you doing all the way over here to visit little old me?” Fives drawls, worrying his bottom lip between his teeth as his eyes rake up and down your form. “And what are you having?” 

The response you have poised on the tip of your tongue dies when you turn to meet his gaze, and you find yourself staring at his face - which is already beautiful enough - but on his face, there are tiny stars. There’s not many of them, but they are in specific places. 

Both of his eyelids. 

His cheeks. 

HIs knuckles.

One just inside his top lip. 

A trail of them - like a trail of falling stars - scattered along his jaw. 

Oh. Oh... oh kriff. 

What was it you had said about soulmates? The idea was laughable, completely absurd, and absolutely not something you believed in because you would never find yours? 

Yeah, well... oops. 

*** 

You don’t end up telling him. And that, well.. you don’t tell Dove either, because she would simply scold you and the idea of learning to fall in love with Fives from afar seems alot more appealing then gathering the courage to tell him he’s your soulmate. 

The first time you ever consider kissing Fives - the first mark of many, the brand you cannot wash from your memory - is at a gala. Another one of the Senate galas that Dove just has to invite you to because she wouldn’t be caught dead alone at such a drab event. 

You smooth the wrinkles out of your outfit and stand very very still on the overlook that gives an entire view of the ballroom below. You can see General Kenobi and Skywalker, Senator Amidala, several other Senators you don’t care to know the names of mingling with Dove, and.. 

No. No. Why is he here? 

Dread bubbles in your stomach as you watch Fives on the arm of a beautiful woman. He’s dressed in a smooth black tuxedo, hair neatly slicked back and goatee trimmed just perfectly enough to give a rather intoxicating view of his mouth. Fives fit in well with the atmosphere here in terms of sweet talk. And isn’t that all politicians are? 

  “What are you doing up here all on your lonesome?” Echo’s voice sounds at your side as he leans against the railing with you. “Someone as beautiful as you are doesn’t deserve to come to a gala like this alone.” 

He is sensible and so incredible And all my single friends are jealous He says everything I need to hear

You tilt your head inquisitively at the clone and flash a sweet smile. “The Chancellor’s personal assistant is a dear friend. A dearly annoying friend who insists on dragging me to events like this. I’m not much of a socialite.” 

  “Well, as you can see,” Echo laughs as he motions to his brother on the the dance floor. “My brother is very much a socialite, but he prefers the bar and the women to the talk.” 

You don't reply. Your eyes are solely focused on Fives and the stranger, ignorant of the dark feeling bubbling in your stomach. After recognizing how safe you felt around Fives and Echo, you made an effort to meet them at least once a week. They’re human too. People. You had a deep desire to get to know them past the mask of soldier that the rest of the galaxy only saw them as. 

And it's like I couldn't ask for anything better

  “Echo?” 

  “Yeah?” 

Your hands hanging over the railing shift inward as you begin to wring them nervously. “Does Fives...” You pause, grimacing. This is going to sound like such a ridiculous question. “Like me?” 

The younger Domino twin takes a moment before he replies, “I think that meeting someone as gentle as you are may be the best thing to happen to someone like my brother.” He replies quietly. “For someone who has been through as much as we have, that smile?” Echo motions outward to where Fives is brightly laughing, enveloped in the arms of another woman on the dance floor. “Isn’t always quite as real as everyone thinks it is.” 

You take a deep breath. After talking to Fives over many, many brandies, you have garnered up enough courage to approach him without that same lingering fear. He’s just another person. He’s just another person. 

You smooth the wrinkles from your outfit and descend the stairs. Fives’ eyes catch yours the minute you step onto the floor, and the girl he’s dancing with steps aside to allow you to step forward. 

And he says, "You look beautiful tonight" And I feel perfectly fine

  “You clean up nice.” You drawl, eyes gleaming as Fives extends his hand to pull you in. Instead you dip your head and kiss his knuckles. Worn to the touch and scarred from his time on the front. “Care to dance with me?” 

Something brightens in his aspect then. Something you didn’t see when he was dancing with the others on the dance floor, something... softer. More genuine. 

  “It would be my pleasure, darling.” 

So in love that you act insane And that's the way I loved you

*** 

Falling in love with him isn’t immediate. It’s a slow and gradual process that builds over time. you’ve never fallen in love before, much less entertained the idea of being with somebody the way you have imagined life with Fives. 

You still vehemently deny your feelings. Because why would someone like him fall in love with someone like you? You’re not special. You’re not remarkable or extraordinary, you’re just.. you. Plain and simple. And why is that worthy of him?

All you are trying to do is keep yourself from the inevitable heartbreak.

The second time you kiss Fives isn’t anything special. It’s a heat of the moment type of kiss that you should really be kicking yourself for - because why on earth would you kiss him in front of his brothers when he’s half dead? - but you’ve gone and attached yourself to him. 

He’s branded onto you. Heart, body, soul. And you never want to wash him away. 

   “Are you going to wear a hole in the floor?” Echo laughs softly as you pace the length of the waiting room just outside the GAR medbay. You’re a civilian - you aren’t privy to knowledge of what happens on campaigns - but the expression Kix had been wearing when he came out to debrief Echo on Fives condition the first time was enough to tell you it wasn’t good. 

Your heart pounds painfully hard in your ears. 

He has to live. He has to. You’ve gone and gotten yourself attached to him, you’ve gone and fallen in love with him, and now the Maker is going to pull you away from him? He’s going to break you before you ever have a chance for... for something better? Something soft and gentle and warm and real. Loving Fives might be the most genuine act you’ve ever done. 

It’s your privilege. Your honor to know him past Fives, the ARC Trooper. You know him as Fives, the human. And that can mean any number of things. 

You wonder if he feels the same way. 

  “Me’suum’ika!” Fives, who rarely speaks Mando’a but felt it necessary to give you a Mando’a nickname, calls out weakly. Two of his brothers that you don’t recognize sit on either side of the bed. The dopey grin on his face definitely tells you that he’s on some type of painkiller. Probably for the broken collarbone and bruised ribs, not to mention his hand... “Did you and your stunning self get all dolled up just to come here and see me?” 

You raise a brow and peer down at your attire. It’s very simple. Almost something you would wear around the house. 

  “Fives, I’m wearing normal clothes. You know, that civies wear?” You grin and laugh as he gives you two thumbs up. “What on Earth did you do to yourself this time, handsome?” 

  “I swear it’s just a scratch-” 

The one sitting on the right side of Fives’ bed leans outward as Echo murmurs something to him - followed by the medic - and the pair glances at one another before following Echo down the hall to where Kix’s office is. “C-Cabur,” You chide softly, shaking your head. “This is more then a scratch.” 

Dove has been teaching you Mando’a. Of course she knows how to speak it. “Cabur?” Fives furrows his brow. It’s so cute. Ridiculously cute. “What does that mean?” 

The second kiss is to his jaw. You lean in, kiss the space where it meets his ear, and whisper, “Protector.” 

***

  “When are you going to admit to yourself that you’re in love with our brother?” 

The third kiss... oh, that’s the best one. A pointless fight had led from one thing to another, and now you’re storming out into the first storm Coruscant has seen in years. Your apartment is only a few blocks away but you know that with the endurance Fives has, he’s going to catch up with you at some point. 

  “Hey!” His voice is barely heard over the roar of thunder in the distance. You tighten your jacket around your form and trek forward. Don’t look back. You’ll cave if you look back, and he already knows. He figured it out. You kriffing embarrassed yourself in front of all his brothers and ruined it! “Please, please- I’m trying to talk to you!” 

  “Well go back to the bar where you can get anyone you want and talk to them! My energy is in the tank, and I don’t want to socialize anymore!” 

A hand wraps around your wrist and whips you around to face none other then Fives. You, however, are not coordinated in the slightest. The movement and the haze of rain nearly makes you slip.. were it not for the arm that shot out to wrap around your waist and pull you into his body. 

Your heart stops. Entirely. Your mouth parts just barely as you peer up at him in amazement because he’s tall. 

  “Me’suum’ika.” Fives voice is low and warm as he meets your eyes. “What you think you saw is not true. You need to let me explain myself.” 

But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain And it's 2:00 a.m. and I'm cursing your name

 “I don’t want an explanation! I... I have to-” 

  “Have to what?” 

  “I have to let you go!” 

  “But why?” 

  “Because I’m in love with you!” 

Your breathing is heavy as the skies open above you, and the rain begins to fall. Your clothes are soaked through relatively quickly as you tilt your chin upward to meet his eyes. 

Fives curls a hand around your waist. He’s silent for several minutes before lifting a hand to trail his fingers down the bridge of your nose. “There’s stars here.” He whispers. His expression is awed. Your eyes widen in alarm as you- oh. Oh. 

He can see the marks too. 

  “W-Where,” You swallow the growing knot in your throat as you smooth soaking wet hair away from your eyes. “Where else is there marks, Fives?” 

His fingers, calloused and warm, trail along both your cheeks. Your neck, your jaw, your forehead. There’s definitely more of them on you then there is on him. “All over.” He murmurs fondly before tangling his fingers in your hair at the nape of your neck. “Echo said they’re soulmate marks.” 

  “So Echo told-” 

  “Yep.” 

  “Oh...” Your face flushes as you peer up at him and lean upward to press your foreheads together. “Well, if the secrets out....” Nudging his nose with your own, you linger shakily just a few inches short of his lips. You’re too fearful to close the gap. Closing that means it’s real, and he’s yours. 

  “Me’suum’ika, can I kiss you now?” 

You nod eagerly and release a soft sigh as Fives leans inward, pressing your body into his own as he kisses you. It’s real. It’s real. He’s real. You curl your fingers around his shoulders and pull away just as a crack of lightning flashes overhead and oh the way it reflects in his eyes... 

Cosmic. 

  “Fives... I love you.” 

And the way he smiles at that confession.... it’s not a sight you will ever forget. Like I said, he’s branded himself onto you. 

And what a way to have him.

10 Characters, Ten Fandoms, Ten Tags

Tagged by @oddishblossom ! Thank you for the tag! 💜

Sorry for the late response! I was unexpectedly busy today!

The list was meant to be in no particular order actually but then it became a reversed list of all the media I have hyperfixated on this year and the year before that

1. Qiyan Agula/Qi Yan/Qi Yuanjun (Jing Wei Qing Shang)

No thoughts head full of Qi Yan

Qi Yan my evil little meow meow 🥺💖 Yeah she is an immoral vengeful arsonist lesbian but I love her very much so it's okay <3 (I still haven't finished reading jwqs there's still more than 30 chapters left and I'm still very scared of what comes next.)

2. Wei Wuxian (Mo Dao Zu Shi)

Aahhh my precious little necromancer he is very precious to me I love him to the moon and back. And he is such an absolute baddie oof! It fills me immense unspeakable joy that he is living his best life with his loving husband.

3. Xie Lian (Tian Guan Ci Fu)

The only God I believe in. The only religion I would advocate for. Hua Cheng was so right for simping non stop and I get it!! And I would do the same too <33 I am so so happy that Xie Lian is taking a break from being good and indulging himself and Hua Cheng. They know they deserve it <3

It physically pains me to not put Luo Binghe here because i haven’t read svsss yet but just know that if i did he would definitely be on this list

4. Nanami Touko (Yagete Kimi Ni Naru)

The layers upon layers that she has are all so interesting and intriguing. She is an amazing character I really enjoy her. "I hate myself. How could I love someone who loves something I hate. I want to stay in love with you." never fails to give me the chills.

5. Alucard (Castlevania)

Did I mention that I love vampires (and dhampirs even more than vampires???) Well now you do. There was no way I would go through Castlevania and not fall in love with this beautiful bisexual boy ❤

6. Nakahara Chuuya (Bungo Stray Dogs)

He’s cool as fuck. He can manipulate gravity and use it in many creative ways. He is partially a God. He’s the only one who can keep up with Dazai. What’s there not to like??? (Also his screaming is extremely therapeutic)

7. Kageyama Tobio (Haikyu!!)

My lovely little round volleyball blueberry <333 He deserves all the best things in the world. He reached the top of world with the man and he loves and I cry happily everytime I think about it because I am so happy for him!! Never have I ever seen a character crafted with so much love like Tobio was.

8. Zuko (Avatar the Last Airbender)

His entire journey of self discovery and self acceptance along with recognizing and learning to utilize his plus points and starting to heal is so touching and I love him so much and I'm so proud of him ❤

9. Neil Josten (All for the Game)

This bastard bitch boy!! Has been living in my brain for so long it isn't funny at all. My english teacher calls me up to the front of the classroom to talk about my experience of reading any book? I panic and talk about Neil fucking Josten even tho I hadn't re-read the book in more than a year?? Anyway I'm very happy that my demisexual king is living happily with the love of his life. Good for him he made it and I'm very proud of him too.

10. Inej Ghafa (Six of Crows)

Where do I start? Everything about her. She is brilliant and amazing. Still loving and kind after what she went through. No one can kick ass like her. Her range. "But I'll die on my feet with a knife in my hand." Yeah.

Putting Mercedes Thompson from the Mercedes Thompson series as an honorable mention because I was definitely obsessed with her (who wouldn't be? Stephen and Adam agree with me) and Urban fantasy is actually a really good genre and deserves more appreciation.

This got much longer than I had expected it to be damn I don't know how to shut up do I?

Okay so anyone and everyone I interact with on here has already been tagged in this and I have no idea what to do. So skshzjjs I'm not tagging anyone? But if you see this and wanna do this then please do <3

DAY 129482 OF ME SCREAMING ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE JONGHO AND MC’S RELATIONSHIP SOBS :(

“I feel I might lose my mind if I cannot bring him back safely soon.” IS THIS FORESHADOWING OH MY GOD

noooooo her imagining the crew living peaceful ordinary lives :((((((((((((((((((((( i genuinely cried at that :(((

wait but yunho kind of has a point but also kind of doesn’t?????? i am big confusion bc he seems like he has the right idea but something else (maybe his personal feelings towards joong) is still holding him back from making a completely unbiased/unselfish judgment but i guess that’s humanity and no one can ever be 100% objective :((

has mc put down the name for the pardon papers yet? i’m not sure if she did or has already written hyunwoo’s but i’m sure it was mentioned????? ahsjhajs so many questions

JWJDHWJFUWJDJSJKS YUNHO HONGJOONG WHDJWHJSHQJDJWIE nothing like the devil’s tango to break up the Angst and Tension i suppose 😔😔😔😔

“I just… want you to know you are loved today just as you were yesterday, and you’ll be loved tomorrow as well. Whatever kind of that love is, it’s love nonetheless. These people — the family you have built and chosen yourself — will continue to love you even if you get a little lost along the way.” I AM CRYING MOC SEONGHWA (and the rest of them minus jisung) DESERVES TO HEAR THIS AND NOTHING LESS :(((((

there's actually something V IMPORTANT TO NOTE about that line too the 'i feel i might lose my mind if i cannot bring him back safely soon' and it ties to yn's convo with jisung and the last line of the chapter as well 🥰

genuinely CRYING AT THE PEACEFUL LIVES PLS !!!! it was supposed to be a gentle moment no tears ;-;

yunho was very much playing the devil's advocate as well as acting on personal feelings himself since we've seen that tension between him and seonghwa before but it truly IS humanity, no one can be 100% objective without any bias and that's something that's hard to work around and work with ;-;

she has nOT put a name down on the pardon papers, for now it's just alluded to that she plans to put hyunwoo's name down ONE DAY but those papers will become important again sooooooooon

U KNOW I HAD TO DO IT smack smack tension breaker sexcie times i had to okay it was getting TOO INTENSE!!

In the past I've been into FNAF. While I'm not anymore, I wanted to speak out.

I do not want to be involved with FNAF anymore. At all. My interest has officially been killed off.

The creator has recently came out as a two-faced cultist who will pretend to care about everyone but then on the sneak donates thousands of dollars to hate organizations.

I thought that he was one of the "good christians" that always get brought up by people playing devil's advocate whenever some christianity-motivated bullshit happens but he went and proved me wrong.

He is anti choice and claims to be "pro science" which for someone like him is impossible. It's mutually exclusive. His statement is one of the biggest bitch fests out there.

It's also important to note that you should always take christians claiming to be attacked with a significant grain of salt because they have the biggest victim complexes on planet fucking earth and are constantly trying to push a narrative that they're oppressed and discriminated against. It's part of their doctrine and it's also why every year you see them bitching and moaning about how their "culture" is being threatened by people being allowed to say "happy holidays"

For christians, "discrimination" means other people are allowed to exist outside of their religion. They want supremacy and anything else is them being "oppressed"

This guy deflecting critisism by bringing up that his wife is pregnant and claims of doxing when his personal information was already publicly available are red flags that should be compared to the history these people have of pretending to be victims.

Seeing someone many people simping for this freak after all this is disgusting.

Our culture gives this shit way too much leeway and benefit of the doubt. Stop supporting people like this.

Also thank you scott for further cementing that your little death cult is irredeemable. Because every time I find someone like you that from the outside appears to be a genuinely good person there's always that rot within that they've just been able to hide. If there are good christians you are doing them a disservice.
