#they are. not the brightest people. and honestly probably believe this is something that could work

[apollos-boyfriend]

so my younger cousin is flying in to visit from brazil on sunday, and will be staying here for like, the entirety of july. which, don't get me wrong, is super cool! i love the kid! but it felt like a super weird move, considering his parents are the SUPER strict and borderline helicopter parents. even the smallest prank/roughousing with him/his little sister would lead to a strict talking to from his parents, he couldn't ever do anything without their clear permission, that sort of stuff. so letting him fly at alone at 16 to a whole different country and stay there for a whole month seemed WILDLY out of character. additionally, it just felt like a super last-minute trip. it's not like we have any plans to do when he gets here, and the flight itself and stuff only got booked like, midway through june.

and i was talking to my mom about it, kind of trying to nudge some answers out of her, and after a while she went, "yeah, i think they're sending him over here to get away for his boyfriend. see if the distance breaks them off." which, first of all, surprised me because last i checked, they didn't KNOW he had a boyfriend. literally everyone in the family did EXCEPT for them because while that entire side of the family being semi-conservative, his parents (mostly his dad) are EXTREMELY old-fashioned. so clearly something already went wrong. and considering the only reason the rest of the family knew is because one person found out and it spread like wildfire, i have a sneaking suspicion he wasn't the one to tell them, either.

and second of all. they're sending him HERE. to try to make him forget his homosexuality. i couldn't do anything but just wordlessly gesture to the multiple pride flags scattered around my room, then to myself, because really? he has like two other cousins in the us and they're sending him to me? honey i am about to introduce this kid to queer scenes you have never even heard of. he'll be returning home with labels only shrimp can perceive

LOVELY, YOUVE GOT THE BIGGEST BRAIN ANON /POS

♡Drunk Sebastian Solace Headcannons♡

Warnings: Intoxication, Warnings to not Fuck The Fish™️, Brief Sexual Content

◞꒷◟ ͜ ͜ ◞ྀི◟୨୧◞ྀི◟ ͜ ͜ ◞꒷◟◞꒷◟ ͜ ͜ ◞ྀི◟୨୧◞ྀི◟ ͜ ͜ ◞꒷◟

First off, getting him drunk isn’t gonna be easy

His body is significantly bigger so it’ll take a lot more alcohol than a normal human person

That and he could already hold his drinks well, so it’ll take some work to get that man actually drunk instead of just buzzed

Don’t try to match him drink for drink, you WILL die of alcohol poisoning unless you’re an alcoholic

Which wouldn’t matter he’d still out drink you based on weight/size alone, so I guess try not to die is the only goal?

Doesn’t feel comfortable drunk around most people unless you’re BOTH that kind of tipsy or he’s already close with you

When you do actually get him drunk?

The flirtiest, giggliest drunk you’re ever met

Sebastian will laugh at literally everything, it makes him so much easier to talk with

The world is sunshine and rainbows as long as he’s really fucked up

Honestly? He deserves it. He’ll smile at you so softly and actually fully listen when you talk. Maybe he’s not the brightest, or most talkative, but he has weirdly good advice

Though he is super giggly and playful, he does flirt

Usually they’re kind of fun. They’re not meant to really invoke any real feelings

“Hey there hot stuff, you lookin for a chair?” As he pats a portion of his tail.

He WILL forget that he flirted with you later, so don’t try to corner him on it as some kind of gotcha moment. He won’t believe you.

It also doesn’t reflect his feelings entirely…well unless he really likes you.

He’ll get a bit tongue tied and may even let it slip that he thinks you’re just gorgeous

His flirting gets very personal if he has a thing for you, but it’s less frequent because the man is too busy squirming from just sitting with you

Think flustered school girl energy

If he likes you he will do ANYTHING you ask

Please don’t try to fuck the fish, he isn’t very smart and he’s not gonna be able to top you

You’d have to do 100% of the work, and he wouldn’t remember most of it tomorrow anyway

He will probably just fall into a fit of giggles at the offer, honestly, so the likelihood of it happening is like nothing

So unless you’re both so drunk you’re not thinking straight? Don’t do it. Dont even try it.

If he doesn’t like you in that way? You might actually die for attempting it. It’s not worth it.

Speaking of not worth it, that man loses so much motor function. His tail is apparently weirdly hard to control all the way

Will prefer to just sit with you and not go anywhere as he will not have the control necessary to do damn near anything

He tried only once to go do something while really fucked up

Stupid fishman got stuck in a vent for a few hours

Worst experience of his life, (drunk fishman claims) he would never ever do it again

He’s the kind of man that sings when he’s drunk too, but only if you do it with him. He mimics like a parrot.

Or if you manage to play songs with him somehow, he might sing them if he vibes with or knows the song

Get a man to sing your favorite songs horribly at an octave that outright hurts

Idk something like California Girls by Katy Perry? Have fun with it

He can’t exactly dance really well but he might do a fun little shimmy if the music pleases him enough

Have fun doing your shared little dances, drinking to forget (always remembering), and laughing about nonsense

I’m sure, as long as you get him something strong and a whole lot of it

The both of you will get along fine!

After all, he likes people that get him gifts like this a little more

HEYYYY

Soo I'm here to rq another Damian x reader(platonic). But real quick, I'm sorry if I'm requesting too much or being a nuisance. Pls lmk if I am so I can stop! It's just hard to find somebody that writes for him like dis.

Anyways, basically the same thing were theyre friends but this time it's a diff scenario. So Damian n reader are obvi friends but theyre also complete oposites. Like Damian is intelegent, focused and meanwhile has reader is a bit dumber, daydreams too much, and kinder. They also get walked over a lot.

So he invites reader over to the manor and she meets his brothers n dad. It's all fine n dandy but they can't help but notice how diff they are.

Bonus points if reader talks positively abt him to his brothers and they're all like "fym he's nice?" And readers all like "fym he isnt?" (They're just not used to being treated like a normal human being) ‼️

Honestly I love writing for platonic! Damian. So pls don’t apologise for anything bc I’m having so much fun rn. 🦦plus I don’t know if this will read well as I’ve written this late at night when o should probably be in bed.

‘Am I seeing things or has Damian finally made a friend.’ Dick whispered to Jason, his eyes unable to tear his eyes away from you and Damian followed Bruce through the manor.

‘Nope, I’m definitely seeing it too.’ Jason replied also looking at you and Damian as if he was looking at the human personifications of night and day.

‘The fact that the demon spawn managed to get a friend sure is…something.’ Tim piped up, having overheard his brothers conversation from standing in between them. ‘I can only hope he didn’t kidnap the poor soul.’ Dick added as he was quick to click onto how Damian kept a hand on your arm, tugging and pulling you along when you stop to stare at a painting in awe for a little too long, gently encouraging you to keep up with him and Bruce by promising to go back to the painting later. Jason then looked over at Tim, ‘any ideas on who they are?’ Tim shrugged. ‘Only the fact that they go to the same school as Damian, share the same art classes and is known for being a little bit of a daydreaming pushover, but despite all that they’re still a kind person.’

Dick smiled sympathetically as his heart ached for you. It wasn’t easy being nice in a city like Gotham, if anything nice ever wandered into the accursed city it seemed as though Gotham itself would stop at nothing to see it destroyed, decimated and become as miserable and as bleak as the city itself; So it was rare to find someone who genuinely could still bring it in themselves to smile whilst in a city like this. And for that Dick had to give you props for being brave enough -and strong enough- to be kind in a place that would gladly take pleasure in stepping over and on you at any inconvenience. For it was truly a sign of bravery at its finest.

‘That kid is sure brave.’ Jason signed, knowing that people like you don’t last in Gotham but it was people like you that Gotham needed the most, but how could a retched place like Gotham heal when it’s always been a rotten city since it’s very conception? He didn’t believe it could be possible but there were always solutions to fighting the problem that seemed impossible to overcome. So who cares if you weren’t the brightest bulb at school? The education system in Gotham was shit anyway the last time he checked and he doubted much had changed when he…well you know…

Tim was silent. He was too busy recognising the protective measures that Damian was taking specifically for you; mainly the hand tugging at your arm anytime he thought you were getting distracted or wandering off elsewhere and muttering about how you need to keep or you’ll get left behind, despite the fact that even if you did Damian would allow himself to fall behind just so that he could walk besides you. While he might be part of the majority that didn’t think he’s ever see the day that Damian brought a friend home, never less a friend who was the total opposite of him. He couldn’t help but feel a sort of relief that Damian finally found a friend, and he knew that both Jason and Dick felt similarly from the looks upon their faces, silently observing how you interact with one another.

The one thing that Tim was confident in was the fact that Damian needed you as much as you needed Damian because you were a beacon of opportunity for his younger brother in many ways that Tim was certain you weren’t made aware of just yet. So while he and his brothers may tease and take this piss about how different you were from Damian, they mean well and express their happiness the only way they knew best; teasing and taking the piss.

‘This library is beautiful Mr Wayne! Do you have any fantasy books?’ You could be heard asking down the hallway, followed by the sound of Bruce softly laughing as he showed you the grand library. ‘This library has any book you can think of and please call me Bruce, it’s not often that Damian brings anyone home for the weekend.’ He says as you looked the Damian confused and a little betrayed. ‘You’ve got friends other than me?’

Damian groaned. ‘No. I don’t, you’re the only friend I’m willing myself to have.’

You smiled and gripped his hand. ‘Aww Dami! That’s so sweet of you to say, despite how brash and blunt you may come across, I’m glad to say that you’re the only friend I’m willing to have too!’ You said without shame. ‘Everyone else isn’t a nice as you are.’ You trailed off while a rare solemn look appeared upon your face as Damian was quick to squeeze your hand reassuringly, Bruce smiled sympathetically. ‘I’m not smart like your son mr Wayne, I can’t help it if things don’t come to me as easy as they do others but I try! I try really heard to do my best at every test but…but people tend to laugh of me because to them I’m either slow or thick.’ Damian’s jaw clenched and his brows furrowed upon being remembered of what people tended to call you.

He hated it and whenever he saw it happen, he was quick to utter some threatening words before taking his usual position as your pseudo-bodyguard for the rest of the school day. At first he wasn’t bothered but when you became restless in your pursuit of being his friend, he remembered vividly how people were mocking and making fun of you for trying to be his friend, that he often regrets not accepting your friendship sooner if it meant being able to be there when it counts.

‘When will you get it that Damian doesn’t want to be friends with someone like you.’ One person said.

‘Then I’ll just have to keep trying.’ You rebutted, still smiling somehow.

Another person scoffs. ‘Get fucking real. You’re a weirdo, no one wants to be friends with a weirdo who so fucking slow at everything.’

You merely shrugged, even when someone’s insulting you, your brain doesn’t recognises it as such. ‘I’m sure he won’t mind.’

‘God you’re so fucking useless that I’m surprised that anyone bothers with you. Let me say this in a way you won’t have to try so hard to understand dipshit. Damian. Will. Never. Be. Friends. With. Someone. Like. You. Ever.’ A third slowly spoke and Damian had heard enough and within a blink of an eye had laid them out flat. You blinked before looking at Damian with a bright smile. ‘Hi Damian! Did you hurt these guys, that’s not very nice.’

‘They insulted you and yet you defend their honour.’ Damian asked incredulously as you both walked down the hallway, leaving the three bullies to groan from their injuries. You shrugged. ‘I wouldn’t say that.’

‘They were insulting you.’ Damian reiterated. ‘They insulted your intelligence and your abilities. People like them often hide bigger insecurities than others.’ Damian replied, finding your ability to keep smiling after such things both annoying as it was admirable.

‘Are we friends now?’ You asked innocently enough and Damian knew he had sealed his fate, and so he sighs and looks up to the ceiling. ‘Yes, we’re…friends.’ He mutters and doesn’t do anything to stop you from dragging him to art class.

‘I was alone before Damian.’ You admitted as you looked at Bruce with a smile as you squeezed Damian’s hand in kind. ‘But now he’s here and he’s my bestest friend ever!’ Damian honestly wishes that you respect yourself more because you could claim that he saved you multiple times, but you’d never acknowledge the times where you have saved him by being unequivocally kind, sweet and over all a better person then all of Gotham’s civilians combined. ‘I was finding my first week at school horrid before I befriended l/n.’ Damian admitted as you softly cooed. The boy then swallows thickly. ‘Their friendship is much appreciated.’

‘Aww! Dami!’ You cried as you crashed into him, causing you both to hit the floor in a heap of limbs.

While Damian was cursing mom lethal threats and you were laughing, Bruce had already made his mind up about you and was certain to make sure to have Damian invite you over as much as possible. It was obvious for him to see that you and Damian were good for each other despite your vast and glaring differences, however that’s what worked in your favour, the power to have over come all odds was incredible; not to mention the fact that your friendship with Damian had lasted as long as it has was another impressive feet on top of that. Bruce knows it’s been hard for Damian to fit in and find a friend, but he couldn’t have made a better friend than he did in the likes of you.

You were more than defiantly welcomed back to the manor if Bruce had anything to say about it.

‘Get off of me!’ Damian shouts.

‘Damian, I think my foot is stuck with yours.’ You reply, scared.

‘That’s your own foot- how did you manage to tangle yourself up in yourself? You landed onto of me?’ Damian asked incredulously.

‘Sorry.’ You apologised.

‘Don’t be.’ Damian said.

Bruce smiled one last time before leaving you both alone in the library to untangle yourselves, only to be greeted by Tim, Dick and Jason. ‘Can I help you three?’ Bruce raised an eyebrow at the boys.

‘Nope.’ Dick started.

‘Not really, just…seeing how the little scamps are dealing.’ Jason followed after.

‘Damian? Nice? The same Damian who tried to, oh I don’t know…KILL ME?!’ Tim asked, revealing to Bruce all he needed to know, their breathing behind the library door was telling that they were clearly eavesdropping on the three of you. Jason and Dick looked at him displeased as Tim looked back at them. ‘I’m not the only one of us who thought that.’ He defended himself. ‘I mean it’s nice that he’s looking out for y/n but still that’s not something someone casually forgets.’

Bruce merely leaves Tim, Dick and Jason to their own quarrel, he loves his boys he truly does, but sometimes they’re more trouble than what they’re worth. He can only hope that they don’t scare you off from coming back for good because he was already planning your next visit.

possible TW abuse, necrophilia, pro shipping

please read // accusation of being pro ship and engaging with necro fanfiction

I just came across this and I feel like I need to adress some things.

first of all, I DO NOT condone any glamorization of abuse or necrophilia and it upsets me that some people might think otherwise. I’ve created this account two weeks ago to try and connect with others who enjoy Scream just as much as I do but also as a form to inspire myself through fanfic, fanart, etc. When I’m outside or busy, I tend to mass like posts without further checking the tags or what they’re really about (which is probably not the brightest idea) so I can come back and read them later on. Apparently I’ve liked a fic that contained necrophilia. I was not aware that I had liked it but I’m glad someone brought it to my attention! It was 100% unintentional and I am not interested in reading stuff like that. I should’ve known better and double check before liking posts but I never realised it could be a bad idea because I honestly trusted my algorithm to not show me that kind of content. I didn’t even know people were writing about stuff like that. I understand the confusion but it was definitely not intentional. I apologise for any harm of confusion that may have caused.

pro shipping :

Assuming anon defines pro shipping as a person being okay with the shipping of different fictional characters whether they’re canon or not: honestly I don’t really understand the issue with this. Since when is pro shipping a bad thing? I mean the main reason this blog exists is because of a ship..? I only reblog stuff about stu x billy since that’s the only ship I care about regarding Scream (not including gale and dewey i mean they’re cute but idrc). After all those are FICTIONAL characters?? Most of the people I follow are stuilly shippers and the actors themselves openly talk about shipping their own characters? Besides, why would I care if people have other ships, as long as none if it glorifies things like pedophilia and/or abuse (and no, no matter how toxic, in my opinion and from the fanfics I’ve read so far, Stu and Billy’s relationship does not glorify abuse since all of their intimate acts are consensual).

If you consider pro shipping as shipping without limits (ignoring, condoning or glamorizing abuse, pedophila, necrophilia etc. that’s definitely NOT something I would EVER read or approve.

For the rest, I could care less about other people’s interests in fan FICTION (again, as long as they don’t contain any if the things I just mentioned). Feel free to correct me if I forgot something.

misogyny :

I made a post joking about how I don’t like Sidney in Scream 1/still hold a grudge against her. Not liking a character in a fictional movie does not make me misogynistic and I can’t believe I have to explain that. I absolutely adore Sidney’s character throughout the Scream franchise but I have no problem admitting that I did not like her in Scream 1996 for the simple fact that she killed my favourite characters (and she was just annoying). I know she had to defend herself and it’s a movie. Not liking a fictional character is never that deep and it doesn’t have anything to do with Neve.

Anyways, this is not what I expected to see when I came on here and I’m sorry if this sounds a bit defensive, i’m just tired of people acting like they know anything about others without confronting the person first but I am glad I’ve been made aware and I’ll pay attention to the content I engage with in the future! I hope this cleared things up and I’m sorry again.

P.S. If you have any issues with me regarding something I’ve said or engaged with, I would prefer if you dmed me so we can talk about it personally. Thank you for reading!

my favorite stand-alone star trek episodes

someone in bluesky asked around my sphere what are the best Star Trek stand alone episodes for each show and I thought it was a cool exercise. My list and specifications are below. Long post so click the button to check it out.

Rules: Can't be super dependent on other episodes of the show, can't be a two or multiple-parter, can't just be every season finale just because it made me cry or anything; it has to be something that showcases how the show works its own individual aspects in a relatively ideal stage. Think of it like the episode you could show someone to prime them to like any of these shows if they don't even know the show exists.

The Original Series - The Corbomite Manuever

It's one of the first times Star Trek talks about peacemaking and looking before shooting as something you're supposed to do even in a situation where an overwhelming power is bullying you. Kirk comes out of this as a genius who knew better than to take a situation at face value, and has one of my favorite lines in the show:

What's the mission of this vessel, Doctor? To seek out and contact alien life, and an opportunity to demonstrate what our high-sounding words mean.

Banger idea, banger execution, iconic alien, cool shit all around, 10/10

Runner ups: Balance of Terror, Court Martial, The City at the Edge of Forever. Didn't make it because I like this one more.

The Animated Series - The Magicks of Megas-tu

I think it's probably the wildest episode in TAS? Kirk & Crew meet the devil and he's like, a swell guy you should be friends with. Spock learns magic. The devil tells the audience of mostly children to not have prejudices against those oppressors have deemed unworthy of attention. There's a magic duel at the center of the galaxy that is then tailored after the Salem Witch trials. If you haven't watched TAS, it goes fucking crazy.

Runner ups: Yesteryear, The Lorelei Signal, The Time Trap. Overall just think Megas-tu is more interesting and more incredibly fucking wild, how did that air in the 80s, oh my god.

The Next Generation - The Measure of a Man

While it is pretty early on, I think it's a very good example of what TNG does best: single-issue stories using its main cast as a vehicle for drama. This has a little bit of everything people love TNG for: Data's struggles as an android, Picard's struggles as a reinassance man occasionally having to face the dumbest motherfuckers in the entire Federation who would be burning witches at the stake if they could, a Badmiral, Riker vs Picard, Guinan taking Picard by the hand and gently reminding him the human condition includes some unpleasant elements, a farcical trial...

it's not perfect but I do think it holds up, and whenever I recommend Star Trek to people, this is always an easy case study to check if they're interested in the project.

Runner ups: Elementary Dear Data, Yesterday's Enterprise, Sarek, and honestly a lot of other episodes that just don't quite work if you don't have all the context of watching more of the show. Either that or they have weird characterizations that I don't think work super well for the episode.

Deep Space Nine - The Ship

I think Deep Space Nine has a ton of great episodes, but I do believe that show shines brightest when everyone involved is stuck in a bottle episode having to fight their way out of it. In TNG they would talk, in VOY they would trick people, in DS9 they use violence!

I think The Ship is the best version of a good DS9 episode that doesn't need so much preamble to understand. You have a tight cast, a very clear drama point, and the slow build up into a horrific ending where nobody is happy and everyone wishes war wasn't such bullshit.

While there's literally better episodes, I think this works really well for this "challenge."

Runner ups: This list literally had Homefront/Paradise Lost as my pick, but I ended up deciding two-parters don't count. Other than that, The Wire, The House of Quark, Badda-Bing Badda-Bang and my favorite episode of Star Trek of all time, It's Only a Paper Moon, that unfortunately only works if you've spent 7 seasons watching Nog go from the worst character in Star Trek to the best character in Star Trek.

Voyager - One Small Step

I think Voyager is very flawed and that season 4 is the highest peak the show comes to, but even then, I think One Small Step is my favorite episode. It has the BIG VOYAGER THINGS: Seven of Nine trying to wrap her head around human emotions, an old-timey feel (literally, it's about an old Mars mission), it has the Delta Flyer, and it ends with an absolute emotional gut punch that I haven't really recovered from to this day. It's a love letter to space exploration that really fits a show named god damn Voyager a lot more than it would any of the others. I really love this episode.

Runner ups: The 37s, Living Witness, Death Wish, and DISTANT ORIGINS, OH MY GOD, THE LIZARD PEOPLE ARE REAL; all episodes i like but that either don't quite get me where I want to go, or I just personally feel aren't as strong.

Enterprise - Dead Stop

So like, this list is awful for Enterprise, because every single episode of that series builds on the previous ones somehow. Season 3 is impossible to watch out of context so I can't use any of it, and my no-multiple-parters rule means Season 4 (which I don't even like anyway so I guess it doesn't matter ) is mostly out. But I really do think Dead Stop excels at what Enterprise is good at: making the galaxy look fucking weird again.

Dead Stop feels like a really good sidemission from a game you've played a lot but never did 100%. It proposes some things about the state of the galaxy that you never really consider and never comes back, and it acts like this really interesting bottle episode that, while relatively predictable (this is Enterprise), is also effective. I think everyone shines in this and I think the situation is very unique. Worth a shot if you've never seen Enterprise.

Runner ups: E², The Catwalk (lol), it... look, I'll be real, Enterprise is not made for this.

Discovery - Unification III

Speaking of shows that aren't made for this, Discovery wouldn't have made it if it didn't get a soft-reboot halfway through. I'm one of the people who likes the second half of Discovery, sometimes a lot even. And while I think it should have gone way crazier with its own stuff instead of wasting its time with references (season 4 is probably the moment I was happy saying I like Discovery), I think Unification III is the first time I actually liked Michael's character.

It still has Discovery's major problems of being overly melodramatic in the wrong places, wasting a little too much time with dramatic camera shots and monologues that don't always hit, but I think Unification III is Discovery deciding it can stand side by side with other shows: it fundamentally changes the Romulan/Vulcan dichotomy, it takes something old and makes it new again, and it for the first time in years doesn't feel embarrassed of itself.

I don't know if it would make a Disco hater become a Disco enjoyer, but hey, I enjoy the episode, and it's my list.

Runner ups: Forget Me Not, and.... that's it actually. Don't watch Discovery on random, it doesn't work. Picard isn't in this list.

Lower Decks - wej Duj

Lower Decks rules and wej Duj is the best episode of Star Trek released in the year it came out. It takes its premise and allows it to breathe, shows you parts of the universe you'd never see, introduces great characters you could make a mini series about if you were crazy, and it looks and sounds great. Lower Decks was too good for this world and cancelling it characterizes cruel and unusual mistreatment of an audience.

Runner-ups: First First Contact, Empathological Fallacies, a couple more but Lower Decks is so referential in nature that it also makes it hard. But this wasn't really a contest. I wrote wej Duj without looking up other episodes.

Prodigy - Time Amok

Prodigy is a weird one because it's less "Star Trek" and more "Voyager 2". It has a different idea and execution for what it wants to do, so it doesn't really adhere to structures other shows have. That being said, I think Time Amok is the first time the crew really comes together and shows why they're a good cast, what their specialties are and why you should like them. I would probably not have continued the show without an episode like Time Amok, and genuinely, it goes great places. Season 2 is one of my favorite seasons of current Star Trek. It just, you know, isn't the same.

Runner-ups: Honestly for my specific rules, this is it. But I want you to know Prodigy fucking rules and you should watch it. "Now... go boldly" still gets to me every time I think about it.

Strange New Worlds - Ad Astra per Aspera

I like Season 1 of SNW a lot more than Season 2, but the S2 opener really is the show at its best. It doesn't pull any punches when exploring the subject of what's essentially Federation-approved apartheid, and it might have the best performances in the show so far. It would have probably interested me more if this wasn't another prequel that can't change things too much, but, still. If you've never seen SNW and don't want to just watch it from episode 1, give this one a try.

Runner-ups: Strange New Worlds the pilot! It's a very good pilot! Also "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" and "Those Old Scientists", but like, a crossover wouldn't really fit here very well.

And there you go, that was a fun little exercise. How about you make your own? Add any of the shows you want, I just happen to be a freak who wanted to do it with all of them.

I Hate That I Love You.

Azriel x Reader

A/N- Honestly this is probably the most I've written consecutively in quite some time, I'm still working on other ideas but I felt angsty and was listening to hate u love u by Olivia O'Brien on repeat so this came to be 🙃 I hope you guys enjoy it! I greatly appreciate all of your guys support, you are seriously the best ❤️

Summary: Y/N has been best friends with Azriel for years, yet she had always hidden her feelings for the shadowsinger, but now she is forced to watch him be in love with someone else.

⚠️: Angst(that is all)

Word Count: 2.3k

Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five Part Six Part Seven

Maybe you were heartbroken because he was the one you cared for the most. And maybe it was because you watched as he fell in love and you became nothing but a forgotten object on a shelf. He was supposed to be your best friend, but things changed. Though you never expected to be one of them.

There is nothing that would make you forget him, but he was happy and you would hate yourself if you said you couldn’t be happy for him. The past you shared was there, and it is something you would cherish in your life forever, but people venture down different paths and he was going somewhere you could not follow. You hated that you wanted him, needed him. But he was the one that showed you a life that you never thought possible. And what life would that be if he no longer was a part of it? It was a thought you never worried you would have. But now it was becoming your reality and you reluctantly accepted it. You didn't have any other option.

You thought constantly of the days the two of you spent talking about ambitions. Your fears. Each moment and secret shared was a gift, but now all you could do was reminisce.

You two had something that you simply will not find with anyone else. The feelings came with time, and you did a good job hiding them, though there were days you thought he felt the same. Yet you were too afraid of ruining that friendship that you cherished. He was your comfort when you had nowhere else to go when those nightmares would threaten to tear you apart. He was always there. Like he said he would be. And you only could hope you were that person to him as well. You could only hope you meant something to him.

But now, watching him create new memories with her, overlooking you and all that you had shared. It pained you to see him. To think about him.

In the past he would seek you out, always asking you to spend the day with him. It all seemed so distant now. And you attempted every day to see him, asking Azriel to help you with your form, or even just to walk around Velaris to talk about anything but with each attempt you were met with rejection, saying that he was busy or that Elain and he had plans. And each time it only caused the heartache to grow.

You tried to forget him. To move on from what your heart ached for so badly. That connection the two of you shared, though there was no mating bond, the thread between you and him seemed it would last forever. But now you knew how wrong you were.

The days had come and gone and you began forcing yourself to ignore everything about him. But it became difficult when you saw him in every single thing that you did. The nights you would play cards with your friends, your mind only drifted to memories of games you and Azriel would sit so close to each other scheming against the rest of the group. How his hand always drifted close to yours, the way it made your heart skip a beat. It was days like those you truly started to believe you were not alone. He brought a certain bliss to you. It was as though that light inside you finally found its source. But even the brightest lights start to dim.

And maybe it wasn't fair to him for you to have such thoughts, to rely on him for so much but your heart was his whether you wanted it to be or not. It was screaming for you to say something, to tell him how you felt, to tell him you missed him. But your mind held the restraints so tightly around your heart because even though it made sense, no matter how badly you wanted him, you could never ruin his happiness. So you had no other choice but to watch as he disappeared from your hold, from your life, your mind.

There was an emptiness in your soul where he used to be. Yet it felt as if you were slowly being replaced. As if he only planned to keep you around until something better came around. You could only watch it happen, he was never yours, and you had no place in his heart as Elain does. The agony of it was heavy and unavoidable.

You hadn’t seen him for weeks now, and the torment of being anywhere near him was becoming too great, the rest of your friends began to notice, and when they asked why you haven’t been around, you would always respond with the same lame excuse of being tired. Though you knew they didn’t believe you, they didn’t pry, and you could thank them for that, you weren’t ready to explain to them that the male you loved dearly was in love with another female. And he doesn’t even know.

Late in the night, you heard a knock on your door, you assumed it was either Mor or Nesta, wanting you to come to drink more, and you were prepared to tell them no thanks. But when you opened the door, hazel eyes greeted you, shadows swarming Azriel’s body like a cloak. Your lips parted in surprise, his entire appearance seemed disheveled. “Why have you been avoiding me?” He questioned.

“I haven’t.” You responded quickly. “I am tired Azriel.” You began to close your door but he slammed his hand against the wood, using his arm to keep it open. You weren’t going to fight it, so you let him in, hoping he’d ignore the mess around your room. You had been too distraught to clean at all.

He closed the door behind him, his shadows illuminated by the fire you had burning. “Are you going to tell me why?” He asked again.

“There is nothing to tell.” You spoke from where you were seated along your bed. You couldn’t look at him, not when he didn’t look at you the same.

“Look at me, Y/N. Ever since Elain and I got together you’ve been acting different-” He started, and that is when you lifted your head to look at him, your jaw clenched, brows furrowed. He had no right to say you were different when he was the one who acted like your friendship was a minuscule thing in his life recently.

“Different?” You spat. You were standing now, fists clenched at your sides. “You have to be kidding.” You laughed bitterly. And Azriel looked at you taken aback by the sudden anger in your voice. “You don’t give a damn about me. At least not anymore.” Your voice was raised, and you figured the louder you were, the emotions that filled your entire being wouldn’t stop the words from spilling out. The ones that needed to be said. “I watched day and night as you sat there staring at her like she’s the only girl you’ve ever seen. While I sat there alone, waiting for my best friend, waiting for you to act as if I existed. I am happy for you Az I am, but how could you never notice that you were slowly killing me?”

“What are you talking about? Where is this coming from?” He went to reach for you but stepped back, away from his hands, he didn’t get to comfort you anymore. “Talk to me, please.” He pleaded.

“I hate that I love you.” You choked out, the tears were warm as they fell down your face. He stared at you and the confession you had just put out there, his hazel eyes wide, followed by an unsure glance, you could tell there were words he wanted to share but he held his tongue. “I hate that I miss you even though I feel used. When you first started showing interest in Elain I let it go, I told myself I would be happy no matter what but you began to disregard me, and it hurt Az. Watching you fall for someone else broke me. Maybe I'm selfish, or maybe I am crazy. And you are my best friend. Though now I am not sure I can be when the pain of seeing you with someone else consumes me.” You looked at him through the tears that blurred your vision, his face had gone pale, but his hazel eyes stood out as they stared directly at you.

“Nothing would change what you are to me, no one could. But-” Azriel paused as if he was choosing his next words carefully. “She is who I am with now, and that means most of my time will be spent with her.” Azriel clenched his fists at his sides, his gaze now fixed on his feet. “Why are you only telling me this now? Y/N, how long have you felt like this?” Azriel spoke quietly but you could hear the faint crack in his tone. You couldn’t tell if there was anger in his voice or even disappointment. Or it was something completely different, you couldn't tell. His face was stoic, wearing the mask that you thought you cracked a long time ago.

You blinked the tears away. You knew rejection like the back of your hand but this, from him, was something completely different. You could only wonder if death was a better fate than this. His words had confirmed the one thing you never wanted to accept. “I will never be her. I will never be the one you love. Will I? I cannot put anybody else above you, yet you have no issue putting me below someone else. I didn’t want to ruin what we had. Azriel our friendship meant so much to me, and I couldn’t let foolish feelings I developed years ago take that away. And I knew this would happen eventually, I knew you would find someone that wasn't me but I never thought it would hurt this much.”

“Y/N-” His voice was hoarse as if the tears he tried so hard to keep at bay would fall at any moment. As quickly as that mask was replaced, it began slipping once more, showing you the vulnerable side that you had fallen in love with all those years ago.

“Don’t. I can’t do this, not anymore, not when it pains me to see you, not when I know you will never love me the same way I love you.” Your voice was too calm, though the tears never ceased.

“Y/N I am sorry, please you are important to me, I need you. Don't say you’ll leave.” A single tear rolled down his cheek, he moved closer to you, and you wanted to back away from his touch but you would give him this moment. And maybe it was because you needed it too, knowing you would never feel it again after tonight. He placed a tender hand along your jaw, you could feel the slight tremble from him against your skin. You didn’t want this to be the end, but everything was different and maybe it was time for you to change too.

You gently laid your hand atop his scarred one. “I will always want what is best for you Azriel. And I hope things work out between you and Elain. I hope you are happy. But I can no longer be a part of your life, it is too much, my heart can't take it.”

“Please don’t Y/N, don’t say that, I am sorry, I will do better.” His other hand moved to cup the other side of your face, and fresh tears fell from the both of you.

“You said it yourself Az, she is who you’re with now. Your time is preoccupied. There is nothing more I want than to stay, but you won’t even notice I’m gone. I will not put myself through anymore more suffering. Especially when I know I could never be the one that you would choose. I can’t sit back and watch as the one I love, loves another.” You removed his hands from your face. He dropped them to his sides, parting his lips as though he was about to speak but you knew there was nothing left to say. “I am sorry Azriel.” You stepped away from him, making your way towards the door, and as you opened it you looked back at him, he didn’t say a word, only staring at you with sorrowful eyes. Begging you not to leave, he outstretched a hand toward you, in one last attempt to keep you there but you walked through the door, closing it behind you. You took off running. Leaving him alone in your room, you heard the door swing open with force, his footsteps behind you.

“Y/N please stop!” He called out.

But you didn't. You ran through the hallway, past the kitchen where your friends were still up conversing with one another. You heard Feyre call out to you but you kept moving. And once you were outside, you winnowed yourself away, appearing next to a stream in the middle of the woods. You didn't know where you were but it was far enough to where no one would find you, where no one would hear you. You slammed up your mental walls, making sure to keep everything out.

You dropped to your knees and screamed. You screamed to the stars until your throat hurt. Your body was numb. But yet it still ached for him, even though the two of you were only ever a broken dream.

[yuseirra]

I went and jotted down my thoughts after having written my previous post. I brought a translation for it! It goes a little more into detail.

Just a moment, I was referencing the official manga volumes for the fan comic I'm drawing. In chapter 72, Ruby says something in front of Ai's grave:

'You know, about Aqua... He seems a little brighter these days. Like something that was possessing him has fallen away.'

This was the moment when Aqua decided to stop seeking revenge and live a normal life. At that time, Aqua's star-shaped eyes disappeared, and he returned to having normal eyes.

I’ve mentioned it many times, but the stars are essentially the gods of this manga. There are constant references to "stars dwelling within the eyes", or the idea of "being a reincarnation of the brightest star" in both IDOL and Fatal.

When the stars dwell within, it seems to grant some sort of special power. The term 'dwelling' or 'possessed' implies that they are entities acting with intention, or at least some kind of force is at work.

This manga often brings up gods, right? And the gods that were directly mentioned, if I remember correctly, were in chapter 144. There were four distinct gods, and gods who didn’t realize they were gods (this seems to be in plural form).

This is important. It means these gods will play some role in the story.

The god who created the world. God who brought forth the concept of souls. God who love absurdity and unreasonableness. God who loves people.

There are gods who don't realize they are gods as well.

I believe the characters from the Hoshino family are most likely those who don’t know they are gods. Their stories align too closely with mythology. Ruby once said she was Amaterasu, and Ai had been associated with Ame-no-Uzume (whether she was possessed by that god or was the god herself, it seems the phrase, "the reincarnation of a star" that's been used to describe her indicates that she was likely a manifestation of that god. She's probably also that star that the speaker in the songs longs for and pursues to bring back to life/become into). Kamiki’s name even has 'god' in it, and he has many parallels with Ame-no-Uzume's husband. In mythology, Sarutahiko is a deity who governs the land, and helps guide people so they don't get lost, which is why people pray to him for traffic safety. He’s also a shining god whose body radiates light, an indigenous solar god before Amaterasu. Aqua’s name matches Susanoo, Amaterasu’s brother, who is the god of the sea.

There’s something up, right? I’m sure of it.

Right now, the plot is so intense and moves so fast that it’s hard to get emotionally invested... Haha. It’s becoming harder to create content because I need to immerse myself in the character’s emotions to be able to draw something. Honestly, I feel really sad because hearing the spoilers has shattered my immersion. I could stay immersed up to chapter 159, but just hearing about the spoilers for chapter 160, it felt like the story was moving too quickly... I’ve never seen a manga so much like a soap opera before. Maybe it’ll be fine when I see it in the drawings, but for now, I might need to take a break because I can't get back into that emotional space.

But aside from that, there’s definitely something going on about the star- eyes in the manga.

Kamiki seems to be swayed by it. In the past, he suffered because of it, and it’s unclear whether he’s currently using it to his advantage or relying on it to revive Ai. But if you look at the lyrics of Mephisto, it seems more like the latter.

Based on my analysis of that character, there's actually really high chance of him just being a really pitiable guy who's been suffering upon having lost Ai tragically, probably in all this to get his lover back. He’s definitely the type who would do anything for Ai because he genuinely loves her. The black star is somehow intertwined with him. If we compare this story to mythology and find the parallels with it, the god that corresponds to him is actually a really benevolent one. He’s a god who protects and helps people. The virtuous god. He's also very powerful, the head of the earthly gods and is respected and worshiped by many.

I don’t think this is a coincidence. If Ai wanted to help him, it would make sense if he's like that in essence.

He was originally a good person, right? It seems like something went out of their way to corrupt him and ruin his life.

The lyrics of 'Fatal' even say that a capricious star messed up the speaker's life. There are lyrics that mention of "creative downfall from heaven" or something like that. The lyrics are really strange. And in 'Mephisto,' there’s a line saying, 'I forgot who I am,' right? I think this character is a god who doesn’t know they’re a god.

Everything fits.

Isn’t this it? Isn’t the main mission of the protagonists assigned by the gods tied to saving their father then? The more I think about it, the more convinced I am.

If this isn’t the case, where is the story even headed? What evidence is there that Kamiki is really evil and the mastermind behind everything? Am I missing something? Wasn’t he originally a good person? From what I’ve seen, his personality was so good that he even helped improve Ai’s character. He didn’t just not get angry, he seemed incapable of being so.

When you look at his actions, he seems like someone who keeps smiling through unbearable situations. You really need to pay attention to the scenes where he smiles because that smile might not be a real one at all. That’s why I’m convinced that his expressions in chapter 154 were genuine. That chapter showed his true nature.

I really think I’m right. I’m usually pretty good at reading psychology, and with everything fitting together like this, I think this is where the story is headed, don’t you agree?

Honestly, it’s really hard to create fan content right now. The current situation is very messy so it’s difficult to focus on drawing something sentimental or wholesome between the characters.

But I feel like the clues related to the gods are starting to unravel. I think this all makes sense. It’s not like there haven’t been hints sprinkled in along the way.

[radioactive-metal]

Absolutely insane Ficlet

ok… I wasn’t expecting to finish this in one go, but here we are. Uhhh, the bones in a box story is true, but it was on a US navy vessel, or so I hear. I honestly believe a decent chunk of this stuff, I’ve built two computers and by god they can be fickle bastards sometimes. Also the blood sacrifice thing is real and I have don’t it at least once. The device I used it on worked flawlessly for the rest of the time I had it. Anyways: enjoy

“Hey. I just realized I’ve never asked… do you… have? Practice? Do? Religion?”

Scarlett’s question roused me from my nap on the lounger. Whatever they made those things out of was about as addictive as Mes’ha’tak comet dust. I felt like I could just lie there forever, and enjoy the rest of my days in that wonderful place just between awake and asleep.

But I was getting sidetracked.

“Uhhhh…. Kinda? Ish? Sorta? Not in any organized way at least.”

I figured this day would have to come at some point or another. My beliefs are…. Nonstandard.

“My First Mother had been devout to the religion of our continent, but she hadn’t pushed it on us. I had tried for a while, especially after I got sick, to pray, in some hope to give me guidance after having my strength taken, but belief wasn’t easy for me, and I was angry. If there were gods, why had they done this to me? If they were good and just, why would they give a child a crippling illness? 

Once I went off to the space station, I stopped believing in anything. I figured that everything was just some random confluence of innumerable factors, that there were no spirits or gods or ghosts, just our own understanding of natural phenomena. It was from this that I took some amount of comfort in the fact that my illness was just random chance, that some deity hadn’t sickened me but that I had just been hit with the cold probability of the universe. All of this still fits with what I believe now.. mostly.

The only thing that’s really changed is the whole spirits thing. It’s one of the biggest aspects of the gearhead folklore and mythology. When you get hundreds of likeminded people, all working on ridiculously advanced technology that is just about unknowable to your average person, and barely understandable to all but the best and brightest gearheads, random things seem to work and not work on a whim. One day the longbows targeting radar works fine, next it refuses to work no matter what. I actually heard a story of a gearhead that welded a box of bones to his ‘bows  radar controller, and the thing worked fine for the rest of the time he had it. That’s one of the old tales that successive generations of gearheads pass down, that the machines work better with blood sacrifice. On some very instinctual level it makes sense, we work on machines built for war, no wonder they want a little bit of blood, but the thing I can’t explain is that it works. I’ve seen it. Hell, I’ve used it! It’s the strangest thing, every time I’ve cut my hand on a piece of machinery that was broken, every computer malfunctioning, for goodness sakes an entire reactor! Every time, without fail, it starts working again. I don’t know what it means, but apparently the machines desire blood.

The other central tenet of the gearheads belief is that each and every machine has some sort of personality, and the more complex it is, the more that personality asserts itself in the operation of the machine, especially when it had electronics. I don’t know what kind of fucked up silica they use over at Aurora Labs but that stuff comes with hate as an essential ingredient. They have a few old Mk.2 bows at the academy to teach the gearheads on, but I swear on my 2nd grandmother each one had a personality. One was an old bastard, always something wrong, sometimes the displays would keep flickering, sometimes the climate control would break and we were all stuck sweating ourselves to high heaven, once or twice the reactor just crapped out mid flight and they had to send a tug out to get us. I’m almost certain the thing was trying to get itself retired. There was another one that just… always worked. I don’t know how. I opened up panels and found random components missing, or wires disconnected, or screws loose and yet it was the most reliable ship we had. I don’t think I ever saw it down for maintenance. And each ship played favorites too, some ships loved me, some hated me. And all of this was just… acknowledged as common occurrence. 

Which brings me to the elephant in the room: my exosuit. I’m convinced this thing has some sort of intelligence in it. It does things I can’t explain. It will work noticeably better if I talk to it in sodding binary! Like Ones and Zeros! I don’t know why, I don’t know how, it just does! Like when we found the Zero, and I repaired my suit, you know what I found? The thing had bypassed the damaged servo gears! It would power different motors depending on where my leg was so that it was always powered! I didn’t know it could do that! I didn’t make it to do that! It just did!

But I have gotten very sidetracked. So: no scar, I don’t practice a religion, not an organized one at least, but I do believe in the inexplicable and unexplainable, you don’t get very far as a gearhead without that.”

Scar blinked in rapidly, looking at me like I had just grown a third arm.

“If you say so then handsome… now see if you can’t get the spirit in your exo to make itself waterproof, I want to go for a swim”

“No need, I did it myself”

[classificationhell]

Random thought just came to me and I need to know, which characters would be best at handling a little that due to sensory issues has to keep their hair cut relatively short? Like, when it comes time to cut their hair they are pretty much having a meltdown because the process of getting their hair cut is stressful to them.

Alastor: He has his own issues and understands the needs of others, he just frequently ignores them for his own amusement. However, as a Caregiver with a Little he doesn't want to do anything that might stress them out. He'll also learn how to cut their hair himself not trusting anyone else with something so precious to him. (It'll take him a bit to equate them to more than highly cherished pet, but he's getting there.) He'd ease them into it and try and make the whole experience as quick and easy as possible. He wouldn't get mad at them for having a meltdown, or even throwing a tantrum, it's not purposeful and they are a Little after all so they are prone to more emotional reactions. He doesn't invalidate how they feel, but at the same time knows this needs to be done. Will give them a treat afterwards, he's a firm believer in anything too sugary being a rare treat, and make sure the rest of the day is as easy on their sensory issues as possible whatever that may entail.

Vox: He may be busy and a bit of a dick to his employees and even partners at times, but he does have a desire to care for someone. He handles it well only in comparison to most of hell's Caregivers. How does he handle it? Well his hypnotism comes in handy when there's something that they can't help but makes things difficult. Like Alastor he doesn't get mad or shout at them despite whatever they do. He can get slightly frustrated but he'll save it to take out on his employees. Hey I said he was good to his Little not other people lol

Lucifer: He'd use his magic and humor to distract them while also using a portion of his magic to cut their hair. The neat thing about magic is the only limit of its capability is ones imagination and Lucifer has a very good one. Using it to secretly give you a trim is simpler than anything else he does with it. While Charlie had never had sensory issues quite like them there were things she wasn't fond of that he had to help with making fun and enjoyable as possible, and the principles learned there could come in handy here. If they get upset or have a meltdown he'll be quick to comfort them, but in all honestly it'd be difficult given how fast he can do it, especially with a bit of practice.

Alternatively the People who would be having a tough time with it

Charlie: She's not proficient in magic like her father and while she cares so so so much that's precisely what makes it difficult. Has to end up enlisting Vaggie's help and it becomes a bigger thing than it probably should. There's plenty of whatever they need or want after, treats or cuddles or whatever they like, and she tries her best to figure out how to deal with things. When her dad is working on repairing their bond Grandpappy Lucifer is tasked with helping out on haircut day and things go much smoother.

Sir Pentious:.... someone help this poor well-meaning snake man. He has no idea what to do or how to react. They need their hair cut but they also actively don't want it cut?! He's trying to calm you down but is having about as much success with it as with his "battles" with Alastor. He's frustrated and trying his best. The egg bois are also trying their best to help but they aren't the brightest. "Did the scissors scare you bro/sis?" "Do you want us to rough them up a bit?" *puts up their dukes and jabs at the air* "Mr. Boss man should launch a war on scissors!"

[yesimacreepweirdo]

Drakgo or kim’s Ron? Shego and drakken would probably get annoyed at each other a lot while kim and Ron only fought in one of the best episodes 4x01. They would bond over stealing though

Well, considering I watched the show for Drakgo.... 100% Drakgo. Let me tell you why!

Shego by herself is the most intriguing character, in my opinion. Her interesting back story is what got me into the show in the first place. She went from hero to villain, she is capable of very dangerous things, and honestly, she could be a solo villain if she wanted to. It begs the question, why does she stay with Drakken?

Now, one could argue that Shego is lazy and unmotivated, so being Drakken's sidekick is perfect for her because she just has to follow orders and doesn't have to come up with her own schemes. And that is a valid point. Shego likes staying in her lane. She's not determined like Drakken is. I don't believe she actually gives a crap if they succeed in taking over the world or not. She's evil for the thril. She's there for the fun of it because she enjoys it. Drakken, on the other hand, has a goal, and he intends to achieve it. However, Shego could work for anyone, and she has a few times, but she always ends up back with Drakken. Why?

Some people will say that they didn't care for each other until season 4, but I highly disagree. The evidence was there from the very beginning. Back in season 1, Drakken openly admits to missing Shego when she left and calls her a pet name over the phone, to which she doesn't bat an eye, meaning he has called her pet names before. Is Shego sarcastic and lippy throughout all 4 seasons? Yes. Does she get annoyed with him? Yes. However, Shego isn't Kim. She's not a goody two shoes who does the right thing all the time. Mix her past with the fact that she is evil, and I'd say she's scared to be vulnerable. She doesn't like having a weakness because in her world, a weakness can get you killed. So she operates under the impression that she doesn't have one. I don't think she intended to care for Drakken the way she ended up caring for him. It was something that happened over time, and by the time she noticed, it was too late.

On Drakken's end, I think he was very well aware of his feelings for her back in season 1. He just didn't say anything because he thinks he wouldn't have a shot, and he didn't want to lose her as a sidekick. He's incredibly smart and very capable, and if Kim wasn't in the picture, some people could argue that he wouldn't need Shego, but I'd disagree. While he's a mad genius, he overlooks a lot of things because he's not the brightest bulb in terms of common sense. He needs Shego’s lippy remarks to make him see what he's missing, and he would need her to be the enforcer if he ever did take over the world. Much like Kim and Ron, Drakken and Shego clearly need each other. They balance out each other's weaknesses, and they overall make each other better.

Now, I'm not saying a romantic relationship between the two wouldn't be hard. It most certainly would be. Shego doesn't like to talk about her feelings, and Drakken is naive to a lot of things. I think their relationship would be super toxic at first, but they would eventually figure it out because they can't live without the other. In the series finale, Shego quite literally seeks out Kim (before she knew she was abducted) because she knew Kim would be the only hope she had in getting Drakken back. If that was anyone else, she would have left them there, but since it was Drakken, she went to her enemy for help. That, my dears, is what love looks like. Those sweet Shego moments are rare, but they are sprinkled throughout the show if you squint hard enough.

I like Kim and Ron, don't get me wrong. They are perfect for each other, and they were clearly endgame from the start, but Drakken and Shego intrigue me more because their relationship isn't easy. It's not all lovey dovey all the time. In my opinion, it's more realistic to real life because real-life relationships aren't always as easy as what Kim and Ron had. Relationships are hard, and Drakken and Shego are one of those couples that, yeah, they have their issues, but they will work through them because not working through them would mean losing each other. Notice in Mad Dogs and Aliens how pissed off Drakken was at Shego for leaving him in prison and how jealous Shego was that he replaced her with Warmonga, and then 3 episodes later, which is the next episode they are in, they are closer than ever. They are capable of working through their issues. They just have to be open to talking about them, which for Shego is something that is incredibly difficult.

I'm on a rampage now. I just love these two with all my heart. They are my ultimate ship. But to sum up, I like Kim and Ron, but Drakken and Shego have a certain appeal that I can't ignore.

Thanks for the ask!

[fuckyeah-dragrace]

oooo fun tag game! thank you for it, berry @sweetestberryofthebunch

What is your favorite planet?

I always loved Jupiter a lot and did a few projects on it when i was a kiddo

If you could bring one item with you to space, what would it be?

probably my hs astro teacher lol, he's such a nerd about space and he even skydived during the eclipse, the video is somewhere so i'll have to link it

Favorite celestial body?

definitely Lyra cause it has Vega which is the second brightest star in the northern hemisphere and because it's based off of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice which is def my fav <3

Do you believe in life outside of earth?

definitely because we only know so much and anything is possible

Favorite piece of space themed media?

Interstellar, i've watched the movie once and loved every second of it because it's just SO GOOD and i love the score too, it's so beautiful and i'll add Hidden Figures to the list because i watched that movie obsessively and still watch in from time to time

What is the moon phase when answering this?

it is currently a waxing crescent :)

Big Three Signs?

i have this saved on a note because so many people ask me all the time. Aquarius Sun, Sagittarius Moon and Virgo rising. what's so funny is that my parents

Opinions on Astrology?

it's honestly fun and in a sense makes sense when based in energy i guess, like i believe in that and not literally like this is what you're set to do and what your personality is like and i think it's like a landmark of what humans believed and how we used the stars and things like that to help explain the unexplainable and i think its not something that needs to be like shunned but also take it with the idea of it's historical context as to not existing in a world with technology

tags <3: @sapphicsupremacist @aqpippin @eyeslikewatercoolers @hannahlovesdance07 and who ever else would like to join!

Got some space to know you

Got tagged right back by the lovely @rialitysworld, so let's answer some space themed questions. And to the wonderful people I'm tagging, I hope you'll have fun with these questions as well.

What is your favourite planet: I'd have to say Saturn for reasons that are slightly embarrassing.

If you had to bring an item with you to space, what item would it be: Some ibuprofen. I feel like I'd need it.

What is your favourite celestial body: I find nebulae so gorgeous.

Do you believe in life outside of earth: Maybe not life as we understand it on Earth, but it'd be some degree of hubris to think that we're entirely alone in the universe.

What is your favourite piece of space themed media: It's loosely space themed and might be related to my first answer to these questions – Sailor Moon. It's always a good comfort to watch and I've loved it in every iteration that I've consumed. Currently I'm enjoying something that's a bit more space related – 23.5. It's such a cute little Thai drama.

What is the moon phase while you're answering this: It's a new moon tonight <3

What are your big three signs: Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon, Cancer rising.

What do you think of astrology: It's a good deal of fun, but not something I base my life around. It's pretty useful for writing fanfiction though, so in that regard it's great.

Slasher’s Reactions if you playfully call them “My Hero”

Jason Voorhees

All he does is get something from a high shelf for you. He built his shack for someone his size, and there are few people who can ever reach him in the height department, so he has to do that for you fairly often. But this time you give him your brightest smile and playfully call him your hero.

Jason lights up like a christmas tree the moment the words have left your mouth. He grew up believing that he could only ever be the villain in any story, the beast without the transformation at the end, and that only conventionally pretty people can be heroes, so someone seeing him as a hero, even if it is for something as small as getting something from the top shelf, makes him feel on top of the world.

Vincent Sinclair

Ambrose is full of spiders. Most of them harmless, but you aren’t about to look close enough to find out if this one is dangerous or not. Vincent sees you freeze, and his eye wanders down to where you are looking. His heavy boot comes down on the eight-legged fiend, and you breathe a sight of relief. Then you almost jump into his arms and mumble “Thank you, my hero” into the crook of his neck with a small chuckle.

He freezes for a moment, trying to comprehend what you just said. Him? A Hero? Despite everything he does? His heart just melts. He is going to keep this word in his head for days. Hell, you probably made his entire year with this one comment.

Freddy Krueger

Having a nightmare for a boyfriend had the pleasant side-effect that ordinary nightmares are usually short-lived. Freddy is the only one allowed to make you scream at night, thankyouverymuch. So when Freddy breaks through a particularly nasty nightmare, you are more than relieved. You grin at him suggestively. “So, what kind of reward does my hero want?”

His eyes widen for a split second, then darken with promises of a long and exhausting night. “Maybe a chance to prove just how much of a villain I actually am.”

He is honestly a little offended. He is quite happy being a villain and a monster. But hey, if playing the hero once or twice gets him certain favors from you, he juuuuust might do it more often.

Brahms Heelshire

You heard Brahms call for you and are now rushing through the huge Heelshire estate, trying to get to him and see what he needs as fast as possible. But your own feet decide to turn against you, and just two steps from the ground, you slip and fall.

You have no idea how he managed to be by your side so quickly, but next thing you know, your face is buried in Brahms’ hairy chest, while he carefully sets you back down on your feet.

A nervous chuckle escapes your lips. “Thank you, Brahms. That could have gone badly.” You press a kiss onto his masked face. “For my hero.”

His whole body shakes with giggles. “If I’m the hero, does that make you the prince/ss I have to protect?”

He throws himself into the idea, which certainly doesn’t help with his usual clingyness.

warnings: none

a/n: Sorry it took me a bit (two. months.) to write this, I honestly forgot about it for a while.

I haven't written for these 3 in a long time, so if one of them is ooc, I'm very sorry.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Mona

To say that you falling asleep in the middle of her astrology lessons was something that annoyed her would be a bit of an understatement. Sure, she knew not to hold it against you since you fell asleep constantly and always seemed to actually be really excited about them while you were awake but having to constantly fear that the person you had been talking to for the past few minutes had been passed out the entire time, wasn’t something Mona did feel all too thrilled about.

Mona and you had been laying on the hill outside of Mondstadt for quite a while now, with her pointing at different stars and telling you everything astrology related that came to her mind, but when her finger pointed at the star shining brightest, a stupid one-liner shot through her head, causing her to finally get silent. Normally you were the one saying stupid, flattering things all the time. Now that she thought about it, your urge to flatter her was almost as big as your urge to fall asleep at every somewhat appropriate moment, so your prolonged silence was evidence enough that you had probably fallen asleep once again, giving her the courage to say her stupid thought out loud without having to worry about your teasing.

“And this star shines as bright as my love for you”, the words hadn’t even left her mouth fully and she already found herself cringing at them, regretting ever having said them in the first place, making her sit up and try to think of something else to distract her from it. “Eugh, I can’t believe I just said that”, she said to herself, only to startle when she heard your voice.

“Why? I think it was kind of cute”, you said before also sitting up, causing the astrologer to stare at you with pure shock on her face.

“SHUT UP! Weren’t you asleep?”, she shouted, her face now completely red, making her try to hide behind her hat, only for you to laugh for a brief second, shutting up when she glared at you.

“What? Does me being silent automatically mean I fell asleep?”, you asked, your goofy smile not leaving your face for a moment, infuriating her even more.

“Usually”, she responded before hiding behind her hat again, only to hear you yawn and stand up.

“Hmm, you’re probably right, but your astrology lesson was too interesting to fall asleep”, you blatantly lied, things being interesting never stopped you from just falling asleep, nothing did. “But how about we head home? I might actually fall asleep here if we don’t”, you asked, the fact that you were still smiling being obvious by your tone alone.

“This never happened”, she stated while still pouting, only to quickly get up and walk home in front of you, earning no response besides a sarcastically agreeing hum from you.

Rosaria

With that sister from the church of Favonius running after her whenever she refused to participate at a voluntary church activity, Rosaria had enough problems with people disturbing her job. But luckily for her, your constant tiredness was as useful for her as it was worrying. You of course were curious as to what she was doing when she sneaked off somewhere and would question her about it. Most of the time she would either change subject or give you an answer that left more questions than it solved, but sometimes, when she was feeling nice and had a good day, you would actually get more telling responses.

Even though her reluctance to give you any satisfying answers to your questions made it clear enough that Rosaria wasn’t all too excited about the idea of you actually knowing what she was doing when she sneaked off in the middle of the night, curiosity still got the better of you and caused you to silently follow her each time, only for you to get so tired that simply leaning against a wall for a couple of seconds was enough for you to fall asleep.

You were following her again, the sound of an extra pair of feet was enough to make that obvious for Rosaria. No matter how sneaky you thought you were, she would notice your presence almost immediately. It wasn’t really your fault, but she wouldn’t have survived as long as she did if merely trying to walk silently was enough to go unnoticed for her.

For a brief second, she could feel herself getting annoyed by your insistence on finding out where she was heading, only for her to start her usual routine again. Walking in circles around your home until you inevitably fell asleep, then dragging your sleeping form back home always made her job much more time consuming, but if it meant that you wouldn’t fall unconscious in the middle of nowhere, then it was something she was willing to spend a bit of time on.

When the footsteps finally stopped, Rosaria continued her act for a few more seconds, only to then turn around and scoop your sleeping body up, quickly walking you back home, while letting out one sigh after another, trying her best to feel annoyed at you, something that proved much harder when your started snuggling against her. But once she finally reached home, she quickly tucks in into bed before vanishing once again, already catching herself thinking about what she was going to say about the “weird dream” you had, that you were inevitably going to tell her about tomorrow.

Lumine

Lumine’s travel group seemed to get weirder and weirder with every person joining it. First there was her, a traveller from a different world, a flying fairy that seemed to have a bottomless pit as a stomach and you, whose excitement about following her on her travels was only topped by your desire to take a nap whenever you got the chance to.

It didn’t matter when or where, once you decided to make camp for the day there were only 2 things that were guaranteed: Paimon impatiently helping to prepare something to eat and you falling asleep on whatever spot seemed most comfortable. It got to a point where both Lumine and her flying companion decided to bring a pillow with them whenever they went, only for you to rarely use it, instead resting your head on her shoulder.

It had been quite a while since Lumine had sent you to gather wood for the fire now, and while she had already finished building the tents, you were noticeably still absent. So, when she and Paimon decided to look for you, having a bit of a suspicion as to why you failed to come back, but being slightly worried nonetheless, they quickly spotted you sitting against a tree, with your arms still holding on to a lot of sticks and small pieces of wood. Paimon had already made her way up to you and was about to wake you up, when Lumine held her back, causing the fairy like companion to look at her with a look of confusion.

“We should wake them up, Paimon wants to eat, and we need to start the fire in order to make the food”, she stated in her high-pitched voice, causing your sleeping form to shift around a little, making the Traveller place her hand over Paimon’s mouth before starting to look around in her bag, pulling out the camera she got in Inazuma. Without wasting anymore time, Lumine quickly shot a picture of you before inspecting it with a small smile and putting it and the camera back into her bag.

“You are right, let’s wake them up now.”

He's totally NOT my pretend boyfriend. (Part 2)

[Part 1]

Notes: Fake dating with Vigilante/Adrian Chase. Editing is for smart people (i am not smart)

Word count: 1418

[Masterlist] 

-

“I really don’t think that’ll be necessary, Adrian.” 

Surprisingly, Adrian readily agreed to pretend to be your boyfriend. But, in a classic Adrian twist, he insisted that the act go on not just with your family, but with everyone. 

“What? Of course it is! How else is it gonna be believable?”

“Honestly, Adrian. No need to go overboard. Just be yourself.” 

You only have yourself to blame for what happened next. 

-

“Dude, what’s with the flower?” 

Peacemaker asked as he climbed into the Sebring, picking up a flower that had been sitting on the passenger seat. 

Adrian, in full Vigilante suit sans mask, looked at Chris with the biggest grin on his face. “Guess what!” 

He didn’t even let Chris answer, just went on to tell him how he was finally dating you. After all this time (you really hadn’t known each other that long), the two of you were finally together! 

“Wait really? How long have you been dating?”

“Since yesterday!”

Chris stared at him incredulously until Adrian, finally sensing that he was missing something, glanced over at him. “What?”

“You just started dating yesterday and you’re already bringing flowers?”

“Well, what can I say? I’m a very good boyfriend!” 

To say that Chris was a little skeptical was an understatement, especially when the two of them walked into the office and you barely even reacted, too absorbed in your phone. 

“Good morning, honey bun!” 

You froze and slowly looked up from your phone to see Adrian standing in front of you with the brightest smile and a single red rose in his hands. 

Oh. He. Did. Not! Not after you told him that there was no need for the act in front of the others! No, of course he did… 

“Adriannnn.” You stood up as you plastered on a fake smile, you didn’t miss the way Chris was watching or how he nudged Harcourt when he walked in. “What’s this? You really shouldn’t have.” 

Adrian took a step forward, invading your personal space so much that normally you would have taken a step back. But you had quickly realized that Adrian was an all or nothing kind of guy. If you wanted him to fake a relationship with you, then you couldn’t just make him flip a switch into fake boyfriend mode. It had to be a constant thing. (Honestly, how bad could it be? There was a reason why he was the first person to come to mind when you needed a pretend boyfriend!)

“I know.” He started as he gently pressed his forehead against yours. He handed you the rose, softly taking your hands in his as he lowered his voice for some semblance of privacy. “But ever since yesterday, I just couldn’t stop thinking about you. And I noticed how you liked the rose bush at Goff’s place-” 

You scrunched up your face in confusion and pulled back just enough to look up into his eyes. “Wait, you noticed that?” You really thought you’d been sneaky when you leaned down to take a whiff of a few flowers at the Goff estate. And even if he saw you, you didn’t expect him to have noticed that you lingered at the roses just a little bit longer than at the other flowers. 

“Yea. I notice a lot of stuff about you. You probably can’t tell when I’m wearing my mask though because of the super cool visor. You know it helps me see, and not just because it's prescription. It’s red and- oh and I wanted to get you a teal rose, but the lady at the flower store said there was no such thing and-"

You laughed quietly and placed a hand on his chest to stop his rambling. “Well, thank you, Adrian. This is very sweet.”  

If you thought his smile couldn’t get any wider, you were wrong. He looked absolutely elated as he leaned down to whisper even quieter. “I did good, didn’t I?”

You laughed, this time to yourself mostly for almost forgetting that Adrian wasn’t really trying to woo you, and nodded. “Actually, let’s take a picture!” “Huh?”

You positioned yourself in front of him, so that you were covering the Vigilante body armor, as you opened the camera on your phone. “My mom thinks I’m lying to her about having a boyfriend. Isn’t that crazy, ahaha…” 

You posed with the flower in front of you and smiled. 

“What? Who wouldn’t want to date you? You’re amazing!”

Your smile faltered and you turned to look up at him. “What?”

 “What? You are.” 

There was something different about his smile this time. It wasn’t his usual hyperactive, excited, smile. It was softer than that, radiating a warmth that you’d never seen before. Caught up in that captivating smile of his, you nearly stopped breathing, your heart sped up, and the heat of a blush began to spread from your face down to your chest. You didn’t even notice that you were smiling yourself, not until he acted quickly and kissed you on the cheek while he simultaneously reached out and hit your phone to take a picture. 

You were jolted back into reality and nearly jumped out of your skin, but you looked at the picture he took and couldn’t deny that it looked very cute. You nodded as you looked at it, yea. Yea this’ll do.

“What the hell did we just walk in on?” Economos asked rather loudly.

You looked up and put on a fake scowl as he and Adebayo walked up their respective desks. “Well look who finally decided to show up!”

“Hey! There was traffic!”

“Uh-huh. That’s why you’ve got coffee?” 

“Yea and they didn’t even bring us any!” Adrian pointed at them accusingly, his arm stretched out by your shoulder, drawing your gaze to the flex of his muscles and wondering just how much definition that suit hid. 

“Can we just start already?” It was first thing in the morning and Murn already sounded exasperated. 

Without another word you moved to your usual seat and Adrian took the last chair next to Chris. Murn was going over how the butterflies…something. It really wasn’t that important. When it came to the mission, Adrian was just there to kill what they told him to kill. What was important was figuring out a sneaky way to get you to send him that picture! He caught a glimpse of it before you dropped your phone on your desk and he just knew he wanted to keep it for himself. 

He kept glancing over at you, watching you as you opened a water bottle, noticed how you didn’t rip the cap off completely and let a single plastic thread hold onto the cap. And how after a few swigs you ran your tongue from right to left over your upper lip. He was still watching you when after finishing most of the bottle, a third of the bottle left, you plucked the rose he’d given you from the desk and popped it in the bottle. He didn’t miss how when Chris and Economos started arguing, you quickly picked up your phone and snapped a picture of the rose. When you started typing something into your phone, he wondered if that little tug at the corner of your lips was a happy smile or a mischievous grin. There was only one way to find out, and now that he was pretending to be your boyfriend it would give him just the right excuse to spend even more time with you. 

Once everything was decided, he really couldn’t say what that was, and everyone started to make their way out of the office, you ran up to him.

“My mom loves this picture! She wants me to call her, but I told her she’d have to wait till later!” 

So that was a mischievous grin you’d been trying to suppress! 

“Hey, speaking of that picture! You know what we should do?” “Hm?” “We should practice kissing!”

“...what? Adrian. No. We don’t need to practice kissing!”

“I mean, you never know when we’ll have to kiss!”

“I promise you, there will never be a situation where we have to make out in front of my family.” 

“Aww, are you sure?” “Yes I’m sure. Now let’s go kill these damn butterflies.” 

“Ooh! That also sounds fun! But, not as fun as kissing you would be!”

“Guys!” Harcourt yelled at you from outside.

You chuckled and tapped his arm, “Come on, let’s just go.” 

[isoldmysoultojonahclemence]

[Army Version] Ikerev Name Analysis!

Lancelot Kingsley: 

The name Lancelot means “servant.”

OK so at first I was really confused because he’s the King of Hearts, which is pretty much the farthest thing from a servant. But then I realized that it could be alluding to how he was forced to work for Amon for so many years. 

Or this could also be a reference to the Arthurian legends, in which Sir Lancelot was said to be the greatest of the Knights of the Round Table.

The surname Kingsley means “a king’s meadow.”

Given that the entire Kingsley line are Kings, this is a very fitting name for them. Also Kingsley is similar to the word kingly, which definitely describes Lancelot. 

Jonah Clemence: 

The name Jonah means “dove/pigeon.”

The two birds are often seen as symbols of peace. They’re also often seen as messengers.

I wouldn’t necessarily associate Jonah with peace, since he’s kinda rash and very quick to anger.

But something else worth acknowledging was that his little brother ended up joining the Black Army, and the symbol of the Black Army is a raven. Doves and ravens are usually considered opposites, which could stand for how the brothers ended up on opposite sides.

The surname Clemence means “merciful.”

It seems a bit ironic to me, since the Queens of Hearts aren’t really known for their forgiveness (the original Queen chopped off people’s heads without listening to their reasons and Jonah literally held a grudge against Sirius for 14 years and counting). 

Edgar Bright:

The name Edgar means “rich/prosperous” and “spear.”

Maybe the “rich/prosperous” part is about the Bright family wealth? They’re the third most important family in the Red Territory, so you’d think they’d be pretty rich. And then they’ve also assassinated people for profit before as well.

And the spear is a weapon, so it probably points toward how Edgar was weaponized to be the perfect assassin. 

The surname Bright means “bright” (obviously).

I thought it was kinda ironic, just like Clemence, because obviously the duty of the Jack of Hearts is anything but bright. 

Zero: 

The name Zero means “void.”

I know that this was just the number he was given to differentiate him from the rest of the human experiments.

But I still thought that “void” kinda describes Zero around the time he just left the Magic Tower, because he doesn’t have anywhere to go anymore. And even when he joined the Red Army, there’s still soldiers who disrespects him because he wasn’t from the crimson lineage.

Kyle Ash:

The name Kyle means “narrow; strait.”

A strait, in case you didn’t know, is a narrow passage body of water connecting two other, larger bodies of water.

I interpreted Kyle as the strait and the Red and Black Armies as the two larger bodies. Since he’s a doctor and his primary goal is to save lives, he can act as a sort of connector between the two territories. 

The surname Ash means “ash tree.”

Ash trees are said to have protective and healing properties, which makes sense since the Ash family are all doctors.

Ray Blackwell:

The name Ray means either “king” or “counsel.”

The “king” part is obvious, given that he’s the King of Spades.

And the word “counsel” can refer to how wise he is. He’s able to give good advice to people and run an entire Army at just 24 years old. 

Or, the “counsel” part could also refer to how the rest of his Army supports him. Fenrir is his best buddy who would absolutely die for him, Sirius is always ready with some sort of strategy, Luka is practicing with his massive sword, and Seth is insanely strong. I personally believe that Ray wouldn’t be such an excellent King without their support, and he also acknowledges it himself.

The surname Blackwell means literally “a black well.”

The “black” part probably refers to the Black Territory, which he is the King of. I have no idea what the “well” part could refer to, though. Maybe it just sounds really cool?

Sirius Oswald:

The name Sirius means “burning/glowing.”

The “burning/glowing” part could refer to the person he is deep down inside, as opposed to the cool and mature exterior he usually tries to upkeep.

Also, his family owns a flower shop called “Canis Major” and his siblings are named Furud/Zeta, Wezen, Mirzam, and Aludra, which are all stars in the constellation of the Canis Major.

Given that he’s the oldest in his family (and also bc he’s a suitor), it makes sense that he would be named after the brightest star in the sky.

The surname Oswald means “god” and “power.”

These are both extremely powerful words, so it’s probably to be expected that he would canonically be the strongest suitor in terms of fighting ability.

Luka Clemence:

The name Luka means “bringer of light.”

Honestly I squealed when I saw the definition for this name bc it fits Luka so much! He brings light into everyone’s lives, but he just doesn’t realize it himself.

Also the Clemence bros both seem to have names related to heaven? Luka literally means bringer of light and doves are pretty much the symbol of heaven as well.

I’ve already talked about the surname “Clemence” in the Jonah section, so I won’t put it here again!

Fenrir Godspeed:

The name Fenrir means “fen-dweller.”

A fen, if you didn’t know, is a “low and marshy or frequently flooded area of land” (thanks Google!) I can’t really fathom why Fenrir is named after that, so perhaps a more accurate interpretation is that his name is also connected to Fenrir the Wolf, from Norse mythology, who’s supposed to eat the Sun and Odin when Ragnarok rolls around.

Basically, Fenrir the Wolf is incredibly strong and chaotic, and both of those qualities also belong to Fenrir the human!

(also this means he’s the son of loki now lmao)

The surname Godspeed means “good wishes, specifically to someone who is beginning a journey.”

If I remember correctly, one of the two keywords describing Fenrir is “lucky star” or something along those lines. So a word meaning wishing someone good luck before starting a journey fits perfectly with Fenrir’s luckiness trait.

Seth Hyde: 

The name Seth means “appointed.”

If you think about how the Magic Tower purposefully stationed him in the Black Army, then the whole “appointed” thing makes sense.

Also, this could refer to Set, the Egyptian god, who is known as the god of chaos, and he’s commonly associated with evilness. I guess that Seth’s connection to the Magic Tower and all the “work” he has done for them makes him “evil” as well, so maybe the game creators decided to name him after Set to hint at his true associations.

The surname Hyde means “someone living on a hide (which is a type of measurement) of land.”

As with Fenrir’s name from above, this doesn’t really make any sense, so I interpreted this name as originating from “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” instead. So, if you didn’t know, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are different egos in the same person, and Mr. Hyde is supposed to be the “evil” one.

(Cybird’s really playing it up with the “evil” theme in Seth’s name geez...)

I suppose this can point towards how Seth is a different person inside than what he’s like on the outside. The “outside Seth,” who is outgoing and friendly, corresponds with the good-natured Dr. Jekyll, while the “inside Seth,” who is cunning and devious, corresponds with the ruthlessness of Mr. Hyde.
