#uhhh its been like an hour holy shit

[concenecxere]

this is so beautifully put. i mean gorgeous. i am not caught up so i am effectively spoiling myself but funnily enough i actually tried to talk to my mother about this while watching s1 bc at the same time i'd been reading a chapter of this book about compulsory sexuality (refusing compulsory sexuality: a black asexual lens on our sex-obsessed culture by sherronda j brown) which really encouraged this exploration for me. like so much of what stood out to me was the direct comparison of innie marks interrogation of his own creation being spurred on whilst dealing with integrating helly into the severed floor (and the loss of petey) vs his sister on the outside having her first child. helly r is almost a petulant child to him at first, an inconvenience to the order of things although necessary for their workplace function at lumon (like ops gf said, just like helena mark as her boss almost resents the freedom with which helly is defiant), until of course he really reconciles the severity and the lengths she goes to and turns inward and wonders why he never stopped to question it all himself. so we see these motivations for reproduction in direct contrast -- in the story of mark the final goal of his reproduction is productivity (by separating himself from his trauma), versus devon and rickan taking an approach to reproduction "more virtuously" by comparison (like excited for the journey of raising a unique human being). now this is the point where i realized i was talking to my mother and didnt really have my thoughts wrapped around it and wanted to begin that type of conversation with more nuance and the conversation naturally returned back to the show.

but! back to the book by sherronda j brown -- it has a whole chapter on productivity, partially tackling how capitalism incorporates productivity into nuclear family making which kind of effectively pulls the magic out of the point of a family. a child is not something that you can utilize/form for some present/later convenience, they're a human being with their own unique ambitions and the beauty of parenthood is often watching them discover that etc etc. but capitalism looks to control family making as it is a method of economic stimulation. again this requires a lot of nuance, because since we are so embedded in capitalism in some ways you have no choice but to be implicit even if you are aware, and you can be doing this wether you realize it or not. i also want to be sure i acknowledge that i am by no means an expert on this i just felt emboldened to get into it here. alongside those examples given by the amazing prev posts/tags this is illustrated in real life by how so many people are realizing using children as a contingency plan for who'll take care of you when you age or like expecting grandchildren from your own children. like its absolutely not a bad thing to want these things but assuming no matter how you treat your children that its their responsibility to fulfill that for you is bull -- and objectively to expect this is not even always guaranteed biologically for several reasons but i digress. a child is their own person worthy of respect and if you don't give it to them they don't/shouldn't owe you present or future compliance (again theres nuance, even in severance given the outies varying levels of awareness of/care about their innies treatment) but capitalism is a part of perpetuating this. as so many now realize if you are surrounded by real true community confirmed elder care and the opportunity to be a grandparent-like mentor is/should be available without nuclear family to fulfill it. the power of found family and all that beautiful stuff! particularly when imagined with a queer lens. but capitalism has taught us intentionally that all of this should come from the heteronormative nuclear family and is only valid when derived from a heteronormative nuclear family in order to isolate us from one another and sell us these opportunities in other ways for their own gain. anyways i've danced all around it myself but brown says the following far more concisely in their amazing book (which i look forward to finishing).

"anxiety about the sex recession among young people is also anxiety about an accompanying decrease in marriage, nuclear family making, and home ownership. all of these things are intimately related and impact our economy, especially because they are so easily capitalized on. those invested in the capitalist system work to convince us that these are necessary parts of life and that participation in them makes us more mature adults and 'productive' members of society... therefore, cisheterosexual sex itself becomes a means of productivity because it is understood to ultimately lead to marriage, procreation, and nuclear families, all of which are integral to patriarchal and white supremactist capitalist systems."

its so remarkably layered i would love to pick the brains of the writers about it all!! lumon offering severance and the creation of an innie as this amazing way to free themselves from the monotony of a job or like the weight of the outside world on their work. but of course this job is necessitated by the capitalist society they exist within and the thing that drives them all to severance is what capitalism forces them to believe they have wrong with themselves or have to achieve to be successful. so then when they create their innie, or "have their child" as it were, and the child demands more love than you ever thought you were allowed the capitalism worm in your brain has already prepped you to place the blame on the child and not realize the system is what has it all wrong. and even if you do understand the systems driven you to this point the cost that you've paid for being compliant all this time is this life you now get to watch your child live.

my gf said something sooo insane about helly the other day and i cannot stop thinking about it. she was like. helena and helly’s relationship is almost maternal. the way helena created helly as an extension of herself, to serve her interests, to try and impress her own family. she scolds helly, talks down to her like a child. “i understand you’re unhappy with the life you’ve been given” “i am a person, you are not”. the way she envies and resents helly’s freedom. the way she feels entitled to helly’s life and is now living vicariously through her in the most literal sense. what if you created life and now they’re experiencing the things you’ve always wanted for yourself. what if you created life and they were flawed and loud and demanding and they were loved more than you’ve ever been. and you hated them for it. the mother/daughterisms are insane my girlfriend is insane

*PUPPETEER*

*a few moments later, Odysseus is standing the island they were on*

Eurylochus: Uhhh...ody? I know that we've been dealing with Poseidon and all the shit we're going through but...I have a confession to make. And if I don't say this I'll-

Odysseus: Not now..im still grieving the deaths of our crew..

Eurylochus: But-but-

Odysseus: Just..go and check around if this island is okay with the rest of the crew.

Eurylochus: ....alright.

Eurylochus: *walks off*

(A few hours later)

Eurylochus: *is running back, with bruises and scratches: C..CAP...CAPTAIN..CAPTAIN!

Odysseus: The fuck? What happened to you?! And where's the rest of the guys?

Eurylochus: We..just saw a dangerous beast, something that we'd be weak to...A threat!

Odysseus: What was the threat?!

Eurylochus: A LITERAL WOMAN!

Odysseus: .....I beg your fucking pardon?

Eurylochus: No! She literally had our men in with, the greatest thing..

*flashbaaaack*

Circe: Hey boyyys! I got gold and foood!

Crew: *all running into the palace*

Eurylochus: GUYS?!

*End of flashback*

Eurylochus: And then she turned them into pigs.

Odysseus: Well we gotta save them then!

Eurylochus: She's a damn witch! You can't risk your life again!

Odysseus: Well, ill find a way! Ill be back soon!

*WOULDN'T YOU LIKE?*

Odysseus: If I'm going to defeat a witch...I might need something..

Hermes: Ody...

Odysseus: Perhaps magic or..

Hermes: Ody..!

Odysseus: A strong ability...no, maybe-

Hermes, flying down with Apollo's harp as he plays from it: ODYSSEUSSSSS! I HAVE AN IDEAAAAAA!

Odysseus: HERMES! Wait where'd you get that harp from?

Hermes: Oh don't mind that! *throws the harp back to apollo*

Hermes: I've been hearing how you wanna defeat circe! I shall help you with this! THIS FLOWER!

Odysseus: Uhh, what?

Hermes: Eat it and you'll have the energy to have strongest of powers again circe dawling! I call it, holy MOLY!

Odysseus: Oh damn, thanks! *he eats the holy moly*

Hermes: Dont thank me! You'll need the best, okay BYEEEE

*Hermes flies away while using his signature laugh*

*DONE FOR*

Odysseus: CIRCE! I'VE CAME TO VISIT WITH MY MEN, WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?!

Circe: Why are you asking me that? I didn't harm a thing! -_-

Odysseus: You turned them into pigs, dummy.

Circe: Well, you seem too smart to fall for my tricks, you will now die by my chimera and power..

Odysseus: NOT SO FAST.. I actually ate a flower that is stronger than you, so I will be spared.

Circe: That is too impossible to believe! I bet Hermes gave that to you didn't he?

Odysseus: Uhh, yeah. But that's not the point, just let my men go and we'll be fine.

Circe: No.

Odysseus: ...BITCH-

*YOUVEMADEYOURONEWRONGMOVENOWYOUREDONEFORIWILLBETHEONETOPROVEHTHATYOUREDONEFORNOTEVENA-*

Odysseus: I won. Accept defeat.

Circe: Hold on...just...before you..do anything else, why don't we...get a little comfortable 😏

Odysseus: Huh?

*THERE ARE OTHER WAYS*

Circe: Lust. Don't you want to break yourself free?

*Circe backs Odysseus up, until he bumps into her bed*

Odysseus: I do but..not-

Circe: Not what? C'mon..just once..

*a knife appears in her hand as its behind Odysseus, but-*

Odysseus: IM MARRIED WOMAN! NOT A CHEATER UNLIKE SOMEONE.

Hamilton: HEY!

Circe: Fuck-

Odysseus: Anywho, I just really gotta get hooome! Please! Its because of the god Poseidon-

Circe: Say no more. I do know a prophet that can help you.

Odysseus: FR?! WHERE IS THIS PROPHET?!

Circe: In the underworld :)

Odysseus: ...I BEG YOUR FINEST PARDO-

Circe: Ill release your men though.

Odysseus: YEAAAAAAH!

BIG SPOILERS FOR TETRO CHAPTER 2 TRIAL

Holy shit holy fucking shit I was not prepared at all for this trial.

Harada. Oh my god. Just this trial was a roller coaster having my theory that the killer locked themselves in the auditorium be destroyed so early on I felt so exposed and if you saw me in the live chat, I was losing my fucking mind the whole time having no idea what to expect next.

Harada was my number 1 pick for the culprit (besides Ojima, I’ll get to him later) and once again like the first trial I managed to guess the killer correctly but got the whole process wrong.

actually in the hours before the trial where I was writing up my whole final theory on what happened, I started speculating that the multiple bloodstains in the auditorium could’ve been from sawa. And with that last guess I was correct.

god just, the whole scene where Okazaki keeps pressuring Harada into telling where sawa is only for him to snap and yell that she’s dead, god that hit so hard. Usually in media like this if there’s an animal character odds are they survive, but from how the tone tetro was taking I was becoming worried for sawa in the back of my mind. But I never expected it to escalate into this.

the whole thing with Harada not even intentionally killing Chiba and rather the adrenaline motive affecting sawa, and per the rules of the killing game her being an extension to Harada’s participation in the game. And seeing how Hama broke down losing both his closet friends and the people he vowed to protect just. Hama has always been such a reason of mind seeing him actually lose it like this is so painful.

okay okay, I’ll talk about ojima

so uhhh he was not the killer. I wrote multiple eulogies for nothing… luckily? People were getting genuinely worried for me and I was literally ugly crying over the possibility of my comfort character dying and like. EVEN IF ITS NOT OJIMA THIS TRIAL STILL BROKE ME. LIKE HES ALIVE BUT AT WHAT COST

once again in the live chat seeing how i completely broke done mid trial believing it was so over for me that Ojima was the killer as he had a shaky alibi and we still hadn’t properly resolved the bloodstain on Hiroaki’s bed I was so convinced that would come up again like a boomerang proving Ojima is the killer. My mind got so foggy during that section of the trial it was wild. But… at least with all the absolute pain this trial has caused we never really got a resolve for the bloodstain so my trans Ojima hc may be real????? Yoooooo??????

also okazaki firing the gun in the middle of the trial. no further context

the dr kan reveal shook me to my core like I was so dreading we’d see him after the execution and I was right. Just I was so disgusted seeing him just after everything he’s done in the staffside and just. His absolutely horrifying inhuman smile only to be contrasted at the end with his neutral expression reminding us that he’s still human, which is much scarier than the idea of him not being human could ever be.

this man deserves to die the most horrific death imaginable

[froggierboy]

it's just the thing is that aziraphale has been asking God to forgive crowley for six thousand years. any time crowley blasphemes or does wrong. "may God forgive you." which is admittedly really fucking bitchy, and as an audience we read it as really fucking bitchy, and crowley brushes it off flippantly, "She won't," etc, but for aziraphale it's not just some shit he's saying to be pompous and self-righteous, it's a prayer. he is genuinely asking God to forgive crowley because he can think of nothing more aspirational than Her grace and he wants it for crowley.

and that the fuckin metatron says yeah, we'll reinstate your boyfriend in heaven, i'm definitely not manipulating you, pay no attention to the crumbling corrupt beaurocracy behind the curtain, but for aziraphale what he's hearing isn't a blatant bribe, it's God tacitly forgiving crowley, accepting him back into the fold of Her light etc. which is all he's ever wanted for his friend!

so he's like crowley, holy shit, God has forgiven you like i've been asking for six thousand years, this is proof that the tides are turning in heaven and She is gracious and you are good and a blanket thumbs-up to the reconciliation of all the complicated truths of my life that have been keeping me up at night and giving me acid reflux. we might be able to end all the corruption now, bc God is in our corner!

then crowley, who has seen heaven at its worst, its cruelest, many many times, most recently like ten hours ago when he witnessed the conspiracy against gabriel play out, is like, uhhh i do not think that is what is happening. no one has heard from God since whatever year job was. the metatron is clearly manipulating you, which you should know, given that you have never fucking liked him and he Does Shit Like This, and not to be rude but you're kinda fucking stupid for just ignoring six thousand years of precedent because the damn metatron said you could bring your best friend to heaven.

but aziraphale, who is so high on the idea of his best friend and beloved being forgiven in God's grace that for a second he lived in a world where the widespread and devastating corruption of heaven didnt exist, is like you dont want to be angels together?? this must be because you want me specifically to suffer! and because he's actually a huge fucking hothead who takes at least a year to chill out after a fight and look at the other person's point of view, he's like fine well i am not staying then! and his ass is heartbroken! because he only agreed to go to heaven when they said they'd let crowley in and crowley has rejected him! but he has the second worst communication skills in the universe so he's gonna go put his fist through the wall instead of talking it out, and the wall in this case is the Kingdom Of Heaven

[joshuaalbert]

ok here are my liveblog notes.

- girl we didn’t have to come out of the gate with “every important person in the series is the child of an older character.”

- this show literally thinks you’re stupid (note from like 7 hours later: i think this was about picard needing to explicitly explain that the ships were linked and moving into formation which like. no shit.)

- “if earth falls everything falls” yeah man fuck every other planet in the federation I guess

- I like this cook guy at least

- “jack is in there and he’s still jack” yeah the guy you know so well after like a week

- oh I guess picard is actually doing something for the first time this entire season instead of just. reacting to other people saying stuff to him. took long enough.

- geordi could be literally anyone please god give this man some technobabble or something. glad he gets to sit in the captain’s chair tho I know that was big for levar burton in tng

- oh nice deanna gets to be upset about riker rather than doing anything again. classic. worf you are the only one holding the line against white boy wednesday on a thursday.

- weren’t they just having a super hard time isolating his life signs the fuck

- well at least raffi and seven get to talk to each other 😐

- I mean the cook’s not wrong that it’s objectively stupid as hell to try to fight the entire fucking fleet alone but ok

- yeah wow the zombie movie imagery here. lm fucking ao.

- oh beverly did weapons so she’s good character now. this season’s entire philosophy.

- “planetary shields are down” yeah its almost like the stupidest plan of all time didn’t help but also nobody except picard is allowed to do anything so I guess this was to be expected. cant really blame her for this one i guess.

- except like. hey remember when seven became the most specialest person on all of voy and took over the entire show because she kept finding the solutions to problems and shit. lmao.

- like this moment of picard deciding to go back to the borg would have been powerful if we hadn’t been beating this dead horse for this many decades or if there was any actual sense of threat or. anything.

- “you are the part of me that I never knew was missing” yeah man “having biological children is the only key to a fulfilling life” is really progressive

- like this should be a really touching moment but there’s just. not enough chemistry here to make it work all these flashbacks are so surface level and take place in a week and you’re telling me this is enough

- like I’m a sucker for the power of love saves the day if it’s done well I won’t pretend I’m not but like. holy shit this aint it.

- oh shit deanna actually gets to do something what a fucking world

- “the time of the borg is over” god I wish but I’m sure they’ll keep finding a way to bring them back forever

- all those touching goodbyes might have been better if it ever felt like they were gonna have the guts to kill anyone off

- aw ok. seven hugging sidney was cute.

- NOT THIS AVENGERS ASS GIRLPOWER SHOT LIKE THEY ACTUALLY GOT TO DO ANYTHING. why are they nodding. what publicity fuckery.

- none of this felt earned. they were in the borg cube for like 15 minutes.

- hey uh I do not like this technology that “scans for other irregularities” that feels. bad.

- ok I’m glad tuvok is ok glad you got out of the bullshit alive

- oh yeah ok we’re just gonna frame starfleet as everyone’s happy ending. ok.

- no like remember back during uhhh whatever episode ro laren was in where it seemed like they might be actually critiquing starfleet some. what was the point of that if they were just gonna be like haha never mind starfleet is good for everyone it’s a place everyone needs to be to be happy.

- shaw knowing he was doing something wrong by calling her hansen doesn’t help actually and it definitely doesn’t help that he sounds like he’s about to start complaining about how hard it is to remember all these newfangled pronouns

- like I know I haven’t watched the first two seasons I’m not super familiar with raffi’s family stuff but this feels like a copout lmao

- the fact that they acknowledged ds9 continuity with “house of martok” but still managed to go the whole season not mentioning jadzia or alexander or anything is so. like.

- ok worf and raffi continue to be the best dynamic in this fucking show like they’re the only ones I actually feel anything for

- haha I love how they almost made deanna good at her job and then were like actually she and riker make fun of her patient

- my computer is buffering at the 1 year later mark I think it’s trying to save me

- “if ever there was better evidence that the past mattered” no please hammer the message of this season home harder

- why was that scene a year later have they just been standing there for a year. actually I guess it’s the only place in the whole world that’s lit well so maybe I’d stand there for a year too everyone probably has seasonal depression from being on the titan.

- oh my god

- oh myg od

- they. they fucking put him in red too. it wasn’t enough to be like yeah his happy ending is starfleet no it has to be the fucking command track he has to take after his father because god forbid he take after his mother to do something he was shown to be good at

- I hope I die for real actually.

- on one hand i feel like that nepotism line was a direct shot at wesley except they’re also doing the same thing but worse. so like ????? are they just trying to lampshade what they’re doing now it’s not fucking working.

- I’m going to fucking explode everyone forever

- the titan being renamed to the fucking enterprise is like. the perfect encapsulation of this show’s mentality. you can almost go forward a tiny bit (have new ship that is important) but then you HAVE to go back to the way things were (jk it’s the enterprise because that’s the only ship that can ever be important)

- stop namedropping your goddamn....it’s not even a planet now it’s a whole system. shut the fuck UP.

- yeah this is really professional. this is a functioning vessel. jack shut the hell up.

- what the fuck is this.

- isn’t this the same gag they used in the snw s2 trailer I haven’t actually watched it but I feel like I’ve seen a gifset

- jack shut up

- wow they really just didn’t want to have to make a decision on this. or they’re setting up the sequel. either way I hate being alive

- why did we even have a plot to this episode when they clearly just wanted to do the nostalgia world tour. I guess that explains why all the borg shit wrapped up so quickly they never actually wanted to do the plot. on one hand the plot was bad on the other hand watching 15 consecutive victory laps is also bad.

- this show is bad

- I can’t imagine what it must feel like to be someone who liked the first two seasons or cared about the bonds picard made with literally anyone else this is such a fuck you to all of that. hey remember laris. because even despite not watching the first two seasons I remember that she was in the first episode. but I know the show counts on you being too stupid to remember that anyway.

- ok I feel like that’s clearly just a premiere photo so that’s kind of funny

- jesus fuck

- let this man die

- there are literally tears in my eyes and not in a good way stop trying to set up a spinoff I’m so fucking tired

- everyone who hated wesley for being a mary sue had better hate jack that’s an order

HEY, LOVER!

- a transcription of some voicemails your dear boyfriend has sent you (fluff, dylan lenivy x gn!reader, requests are open!)

a/n: i am sooooo so in love with him

- “Hey! Uhhh what’s up? Yeah I was just calling to make sure you’re alive. I mean why wouldn’t you be? I saw you like half an hour ago. Maybe it was more like a full hour. Half hour, full hour, it doesn’t matter. I miss you. *Kissy noises*. Love you. Bye!”

- (Whispering) “You look really good right now. Bye.”

- “Oh you will not BELIEVE who I just saw walking past me. Your. Mom.”

- “Ok so there’s two things I need to say. One; I think I broke the lamp. Scratch that, it was totally Ryan. Ryan broke the lamp. Isn’t that right, Ryan?” (Ryan, in the distance) “I absolutely did not.” (Dylan, now whispering) “he’s such a liar.” (No longer whispering) “The lamp is definitely not functioning. *shuffling and clicking sounds*. It turned on! Oops, never mind. I think that was its last ditch effort at life. Like when you cut the head off a bug and its body just squirms around a bit. Anyways. Second thing, Ryan called me a pissbaby and that kind of hurt so when you call me back can you like affirm that I’m not a fucking pissbaby?” (Ryan) “that’s immature, just accept that you suck at Mario Kart.” (Dylan) “My Mario Kart rank does not decide if I’m a pissbaby or not!” (Ryan) “it absolutely does.” (Dylan) “Fuck off. *thunk noise* HE THREW HIS CONTROLLER AT ME HOLY SHIT AHHH it didn’t hit me, L aim dude. Oh fuck he’s approaching like a rabid dog. If I don’t make it, just know I love you. And put this guy in jail when you get the chance because this is definitely assault-“ (voicemail cuts off).

- “Kitty wanted to say hi. Say hi! *cat meows*. That means ‘I love you’ in cat. You better call and say I love you back or else. Bye.”

- (Kaitlyn) “You deserve so much better than this gu-“ (Dylan, in the distance) “GIVE MY PHONE BACK!!”

- “This is your boyfriend speaking; I’ve been trying to reach you regarding your car’s extended warranty, so call me back when you get the chance alright?”

- “Hi I made a new playlist for you, I sent it like a minute ago and I didn’t know if you saw it… *fumbling noises* that was the wrong playlist. Shit. I sent the new one too, so check it out when you have time and absolutely do not look at the first one. Love you, bye bye!”

Brief description: Can you do a Eddie x plus!size reader one-shot where Eddie and his friends were taking bets and Mike makes a bet with Eddie that he has to make the chubby!reader fall in love with him and then at the end break her heart and tell her it was for a bet Eddie does but he fell in love with the reader he goes looking for her to tell her he loves her bc to him I wasn't a bet. ☺️Sorry if this is long I just wanted to request something you can do it it's up to you👍

���🤘

Yes I love this one.

🖤🖤

Damn it where'd she go. Eddie was looking for you in the schools parking lot. When he saw backing out of a space. He ran to block you from leaving.

What the hell you thought.

" umm can you move?" You yelled out your window

Eddie smirked as he made his way to the door.

" Hey there y/n?"

" Can I help you?"

" Yeah. Where you off to in such a hurry?"

" what does it matter to you?"

" geez what's up with the hostility?"

" Are you serious? I'm just trying to get home."

"Oh. Well I wanted to see if maybe you want to hang out."

" Edward leave me alone." She said while taking off.

This is gonna be harder than I thought. Eddie stood there looking at the back of your car.

...

"Yeah hello is umm y/n there."

" uh yeah hold on."

Eddie listed to the person put the phone down to get you.

"Hello?"

" Hey y/n it's Eddie. Eddie from school."

" uhhh how did you get this number?"

" uh you're in the phone book." Eddie said before he heard a click.

She hung up on me. What the hell? Eddie tried calling again but no one answered. Seriously what the actual fuck.

...

Eddie was waiting by your car after school. You looked annoyed.

"Can you like move?"

Eddie was shocked. You didn't even give him the time of day. How was he gonna do this.

" Hey. I wanted to talk."

"Not interested."

" Oh common babe. Let me take you out."

" First of all don't call me that. Second of all no."

Seriously? What the hell was her problem? As your brush your hair back Eddie noticed a bat tattoo behind your ear. That's cool he thought.

"Hey I didn't know I was your idol."

"What?"

Eddie pointed at your tattoo.

" Oh spare me."

" What I think it's kinda cool you worship me."

" Like hell i do."

" Then why do you have it?"

"Well if you must know it was after I saw Ozzy bite the head off a bat"

Eddie was in disbelief. "You saw that?"

" Yeah it was so metal. When did you get yours?" You asked

"83"

Her eyes slit at you.

" What month?"

"October."

" Ha August bitch."

Eddie laughed at your candor. He didn't know you like Ozzy too.

As you and y/n just stood there for a minute she had a smile.

"What?"

"Nothing its just... That was a really good day." You answered

Eddie never noticed how pretty you looked.

" Um so can I leave now?" You asked

Eddie didn't want you to leave. You had peaked his interest. What else was in that mind of yours. Who were you?

" Yeah but I wanted to ask. Do you like Metallic?"

" Are you kidding? Oh God I saw them perform Master of Puppets in April. Holy shit it was epic."

Eddie was in aw of you. He did know that you had things in common.

"I uh I've been practicing that song."

You lifted your brows at Eddie. Now he was intriguing.

" uhh if you want I can play it for you."

You smiled and then forced it away. " I can't I'm busy."

"Well maybe I can come by. I can bring my guitar."

Little did Eddie know that you've been crushing on him since middle school. The thought of him showing an interest in you was beyond your comprehension.

"uhh I don't know."

" common gorgeous."

You blushed but forced that feeling down.

" umm ok. But don't call me that. I have a name."

" Ok sorry y/n. So should I head right over?"

" uh give me 2 hours. I have to do something."

"Ok"

Eddie watched as you pulled out a pen and paper to write your address down handing it to him.

" I'll see you soon."

"Ok" you said softly.

Eddie watched as you left school. Who is she?

...

Eddie could hear a baby crying and you trying to comfort it. As he stood at your door he was actually nervous to see you again. He rang the doorbell and you answered it with a baby on your hip.

" Hey"

"Hey. Umm let me get her ready for a nap." You said looking at your baby sister. She was getting fussy from being tired.

Eddie nodded as he followed you in.

"You can wait in my room." You said pointing at a door at the end of the hall.

Eddie nodded and went. When he got into you room his eyes found your posters. You had some of the same as his. He was shocked to see the autographs that you had on them. His eyes scanned your black walls and thought that this was the coolest room he's ever seen. But seeing your D&D set sent him into a frenzy. Why didn't he know you played. He would have asked you to join hellfire. Eddie started to feel something he was not expecting. He liked you. He saw you in pictures with his idols. How had he never noticed you before.

You came in and saw Eddie eyeing your pictures. "Awesome right?"

Eddie nodded.

" Want something to drink?"

Eddie didn't realize how parched he was until you asked. "Uh yeah."

"Pop ok?"

Eddie nodded and you went to fetch him a can. When you came back Eddie was sitting on your bed plucking at his guitar. He looked so damn good. And his NJ warlock guitar was something.

You sat next to him and listen to him play a few notes when he messed up.

" umm no may I?" You asked

Eddie looked at you as you put your hand on his fingers and placed them on a different fret.

"Ok when you hit that note. Play that instead."

Eddie did and it worked. It sounded so much better.

"Can I try?" Eddie never let anyone touch his baby but you asking him like that. He took it off and gave it to you. With a smile on your face you played it with such ease. Like it was second nature to you. As your hand moved up the neck of the guitar eddie pictured you touching his face. He was falling for you. Hard.

...

As weeks went by you and Eddie spent more and more time together. The friendship you had started to grow into something else. It was one night at the Hideout watching Eddie perform. That he asked if he could kiss you. Though you hesitate you allowed it. As Eddie grabbed your waist you were embarrassed by your love handles. But Eddie didn't even care. He like them. It gave him something to hold onto.

Things moved on from there. You started having a relationship. Nothing too intense but it was nice. You were in love with him and he was in love with you. You never thought Eddie would be interested in you. After all he never even looked at you before. But now that's all he did.

Every day Eddie spent with you felt like a dream. You were the person he never knew he needed. But as the days went on the conversation with him and the guys was eating him alive. This was no longer a bet for him. He knew it was gonna hurt you if he told you about it. But he really did love you. So instead of telling you. He broke up with you. Thinking it was for the best.

You didn't cry or ask why which hurt Eddie. He figured you didn't feel that same for him. Why else would you be so calm about it? It was only 2 days after the break up when Eddie found himself on your front steps. He knocked and when you answered it took everything he had to not cry and beg for your forgiveness. You looked at his so lovingly.

Eddie went on to explain the whole situation. And though it hurt you more than you cared to admit. You understood.

"Please say something." Eddie begged

You turned and walked away looking over your shoulder. It didn't matter to you what Eddie did in the past. You thought maybe this wouldn't last forever but hoped it would. But if it didn't you didn't want to waste any time you had left fighting with him.

"you coming?" Your reaction to the situation made Eddie nervous.

Eddie hesitate before following you in. Any girl would have cried or been angry with him after that confession. But you weren't like the other girls where you? It was then he knew he was gonna marry you.

Eddie smiled as he closed your door.

Boyfriend-girlfriend feelings ~

Pairing: Corpse Husband X Reader

Genre: Fluffy stuff.

Warnings: Um none i think.

Summary: Request where fem!reader has like a husky voice and it’s not like super deep but deep compared to the other female streamers and she joins the lobby w corpse and stuff as a substitute and everyone is supposed about her voice and calls her the girl version of corpse bc she’s faceless too, except her personality isn’t bc she’s super optimistic and stuff. Anyways her and corpse bond and later admit separately on stream that they like the other, then fluff? Thank you!!!!

A/N: This is my first request and I went a bit overboard lol, this is nearly 3000 words so Anon I hope you enjoy lol, but yeah I did my best, I really really really  hope you like it :((

~~~

You yawned and took a sip of your bubble tea before turning back to chat.

“Hmmm, what should we do now, everyone? I think I might end stream now, it’s been like nearly 4 hours.” you mumbled glancing at the time.

It was only 10, so it wasn't that late, but you’d been on stream for 4 hours and you needed to finish your essay.

Your phone lit up with a notification and you glanced at it to see that it was from Sean.

Sean: hey wanna play among us? We need one more person.

“Uhhh or maybe not.” you said to everyone, smiling as you saw the chat light up with excitement.

Quickly typing out a “yessss, send me the link.”, you let your viewers know that you were gonna be playing among us and then quickly opened up the game.

Opening up discord, you joined the group and realised the only person you actually knew here was Sean.

“Shit” you said, biting your lip.

“Guysss,” you whined to your viewers. “The only person I know here is Sean. I’m so nervous now.”

The chat blew up with “you can do it!” and “we believe in you!” and other supportive messages.

You smiled seeing all of this. Your community may be small, but they were probably the best ones out there. They were sweet and kind and there was barely any toxicity in the group. You were only a small streamer, doing it as a hobby since you started college. You only knew Sean because he had messaged you himself, inviting you to a game of Phasmophobia because he'd liked your previous videos where you played it. You had been shocked then, barely being able to comprehend that Jackspecticeye decided to Twitter dm you, like what the actual fuck. That had only been a month ago, and you had played again a week ago with him, but your friendship was still new so even though his presence made you a bit comfortable, the anxiety was definitely overpowering it.

“Okay, okay I can do it” you mumbled under your breath trying to hype yourself up.

Quickly joining the call, your ears were filled with the noise of everyone yelling about the previous game. Sean quickly yelled at them to shut up once he noticed you'd joined.

"Everybody, I have our tenth player, this is Y/N, say hi everyone."

Valkyrae was the first one to yell out "Hi" with everyone else chiming in as well, and you had to breathe in deep to stop yourself from fangirling over Valkyrae.

You awkwardly smiled and said "Hey guys, I'm Y/N, Its nice to meet everyone."

There was silence for a second and you narrowed your eyes, wondering if you were muted or something.

"Wait what oh my god, you're Y/N from Y/C/N?" Valkyrae said her voice going quite high.

"Oh, that's where I know you from," said Sykkuno suddenly, leaving you staring shocked at the screen. Sykkuno and Valkyrae knew who you were? What the actual fuck?

"Uhhh," you said eyes flickering between the chat and the screen. "Yeah, that's me, I didn't even think you would know who I was, um oh my god."

"Oh right, now I remember, you did a cover of dreamy night, right?" chimed in Lily, and by this point, you were almost having a panic attack.

"Oh god, you saw that?" you questioned, whispering because you were worried that you were gonna wake up from this dream soon.

"Yeah!" exclaimed Lily, "Your voice is like total opposite of mine, so it was really cool to hear! Your  voice is really nice!"

"Awww, thank you so much, that's so sweet of you to say," you said, wringing your hands, not really sure what to say. What the actual fuck, how were all you favourite streamers here and ALSO knew about you huh? You wondered if this was a dream.

"Yeah what the hell, your voice is so deep." said Poki.

"Right, when you said 'hi', I literally thought it was Corpse for a second," Dave replied, chuckling a bit.

You made yourself take big breaths, trying to make your heart calm down.

"She's not very much like Corpse though" Sean chimed in. "She's very sweet, and gets scared so easily."

You unmuted yourself and gasped exaggeratedly. "Excuse me Sean, but who was it who screamed so much in Phasmophobia and nearly made my ears bleed?

"That game is FUCKING scary okay?" He screamed back, making everyone laugh in the background.

"Hey guys, what did I miss?" a very deep voice came in suddenly, and you realised this was the 'Corpse' they were talking about. You had seen his popularity on Twitter and seen a few clips of him playing but god damn hearing his voice in your ears like that was fucking amazing. You squeaked, thankful you were on mute.

"Holy shit, his voice is deep," you said to the chat, immediately getting responses such as "We know!," and "SIMPPP" as a joke from others.

Giggling you unmuted yourself when Sean introduced you to Corpse, and nervously said "Hey", dragging it out at the end, "Its nice to meet you!"

"Oh yeah!" said Sean as if remembering something. "Y/N is faceless as well, so she kind of is like the  female version of Corpse."

"What?" "Oh my god." "Brooo, thats so cool"

You didn't have time to say anything back as Sean decided to start the game at right that second.

Everyone went quiet and you sighed in relief as "CREWMATE" flashed across your screen. You did not want to be an imposter right now, you wouldn't be able to stomach it.

Quickly hiding your chat, you moved to admin and started humming something to calm your heart down. This had been a crazy 5 minutes for you, and you really needed to calm down. Taking a sip of your drink, you talked to the viewers as you did the card swipe.

"I cant believe Valkyrae - oh I should just call her Rae, right? considering I'm playing with her right now, oh my god, ANYWAYS, I can't believe Rae and Sykkuno know me. Like Lily even saw my cover. Ahhh! I didn't even know she saw it, and now I'm just playing with them, im literally shaking," you rambled to the chat as you went towards electrical to do the tasks there.

You saw Poki there, and you both ran around each other and then you followed her as she started walking to reactor. Suddenly the lights went out, and you gasped as the report button went red, and you quickly pressed it.

"Okay okay," you said before anyone could speak. "Me and Poki met up in electrical, we went to reactor and I was doing the one two three four five six seven eight nine ten task, and she was doing the Simon says and then lights went out and I went off and then suddenly the report button was red. So the kill happened right now."

"Did you see anyone?" asked Toast?

"Nope, I saw no one."

"Well, it couldn't be Sykkuno, because we were both waking to electrical together," said Corpse,

"Yeah it couldn't be Corpse, we were together at the last moment," confirmed Sykkuno.

"I was in weapons," said Rae.

"Navigation." - Dave.

"I was already at Electrical with uh Lily I think," said Sean.

"Yeah, that was me." confirmed Lily.

"Toast where were you?" asked Rae.

"I was just going into navigation."

"Leslie?" you asked, noticing she hadn't spoken up.

"I was in weapons."

"Well one of you is lying." said Corpse softly making everyone laugh.

"Gee, I wonder what this game is about?" Sean replied, teasing him.

"Maybe it's a self report?" questioned Dave.

"No oh my god, it's not me," you said quickly defending yourself. "Poki and I were literally doing our tasks, I swear."

"I don't think it's Y/N, why would she report the body, there was no one around, and she could  have easily just vented somewhere."

"Are we skipping?" Leslie asked.

A chorus of "Yeah" came in so you quickly skipped. Going into weapons you did the shooting task there and then started towards navigation, letting out a gasp as you got killed suddenly.

"ITS SEAN?" You yelled, completely shocked. "How could he kill me like that, I just started playing with them, and he was the one who invited me as well!" you whined, brining the chat back in again.

Opening up the dead chat, you messaged ":(((((" and Poki did the same back. You talked to the chat for a bit, moving around until you got to electrical where Corpse was.

"Guys, it's Corpse, lets follow him," you said, smiling a little.

Just as he was leaving electrical, Toast came in and killed him. You let out a small gasp as he self-reported and pretended that he'd just stumbled onto the body.

"CORPSEEEE" you typed into the dead chat, laughing when Corpse responded with ":((((" just like you had done.

"Whose the other one?" he asked and you quickly typed in "Sean :((("

Corpse: "*GASP, he killed you after inviting you to the game?*"

You: "Ikr!"

Corpse: “that’s so rude, we should stick together next game so we don’t get killed easily."

You: "Yes let’s do that!”

You guys continued talking until the next round started.

"SEAN!" you yelled immediately. "How could you kill me like that, when you were the one who invited me?" you whined.

"Exactly Sean, that was so rude." Corpse chimed in, supporting you.

"Ah, uh, exc -" spluttered Sean, "Please, oh my god, I can't handle the both of you at the same time, it's too intimidating."

Everyone started laughing and you giggled as Corpse accused Sean of avoiding the question.

The next round started and you laughed when you both got double killed five minutes into the game. Seems like your strategy of staying together wasn’t that good.

You played a few more games with everyone, getting imposter with Poki once. Finally, you decided that you really should finish that essay that you had due.

Finishing your fourth game, you let everyone know, pouting when everyone groaned.

"It was really nice to meet you, Y/N" said Rae, "We should definitely play more!"

Everyone chimed in then and you said bye to everyone as you left the lobby. Just as you were leaving the voice call, you heard Corpse say "Bye Y/N" again, but you couldn't reply because you just left.

"Whoops," you mumbled, feeling a bit bad.

You quickly said bye to all the viewers and ended the stream.

Opening discord on your phone, you sent a friend request to Corpse, being shocked when he accepted in a second. Wasn't he playing still?

Typing out the message, you sent it before thinking about it too much.

"Hey, sorry, I heard you say bye at the end, but I left right then. Just wanted to let you know that I wasn't purposely ignoring you or something."

“Ahhh no worries,” he replied.

Then a second later; “I checked out your covers btw, you’re really good.”

“Oh, thank you so much,” you replied typing quickly. “Your songs are great as well. I have to admit they’re a bit too intense for me lol, as I normally only listen to ballads and stuff, but I loved agoraphobic with al my heart :((( literally listened to that non-stop for a week when it came out lol.”

Okay maybe I went a bit overboard, you thought staring at the message.

“Oh Thankyou, that means so much to me. And yeah, I know that not everyone likes this type of music, don’t worry about it. Actually, I was thinking of doing another Lo-fi type of song like Agoraphobic, but I’m still working on it.”

You settled into your chair, continuing on the conversation.

It was an hour later that you realised that you’d just been texting Corpse and not done the essay like you planned to.

“Sorry corpse, gtg,” you messaged, putting a string of crying emojis after.

Putting down your phone, you finally started working on your essay, ignoring the butterflies you’d had in your stomach for the past hour.

~~~

You guys kept talking. The next day he asked for your number, saying it’d be easier to text there than discord. You guys messaged for ages. Your conversations never ended because even if one of you had to go, you would just pick up the conversation from where you left. It was by far the easiest friendship you’d ever had, and if you were being completely honest, you’d kind of developed a small crush on him.

A few weeks later, you were streaming among us again, this time with another group. You died quickly in the first game, so you pulled up chat and started asking some questions.

“Corpse?” You asked reading one of the questions. “Ah I don’t know guys, I don’t think Corpse is coming to this game, he’s quite busy with his music and everything, and I don’t think he’s available today.”

“Do you like his music?"

"Yeah, his music is great. It’s sometimes intense for me,” you admitted giggling, “but I do love it. I actually really wanted to cover Agoraphobic or MISS YOU! They’re both my favourites and I’ve been wanting to... hmmm.. maybe I’ll do a poll on Twitter and see which one more people want?”

Suddenly a message caught your eye; “I kind of have a crush on corpse.”

You laughed out loud, saying the username and replying “Yah I think everyone who meets corpse ends up having a crush on him, like how could you not, he’s freaking perfect.”

When everyone started spamming chat though, you realized you might have said too much.

“Anyway guys look, I think Sykkuno might end up voting Rae, and oh he did it,” you laughed as the “defeat” screen came up and Rae started yelling at Sykkuno for not believing her.

~~~

The next day, Corpse was waiting as Rae asked people to join the lobby. Answering questions from his chat, he saw one about you and read it out.

“Is Y/N gonna play?”

“Ahhh, I don’t think so guys, I think she has an assignment or something. It’s been a bit since I played with her, it would have been nice to but yah I don’t think she’s available.”

Suddenly all the chat was talking about was you.

“Do you see the clip where she says she likes you?”

“Bhahah I think she has a crush on you lol”

“Did you see that clip?”

Corpse furrowed his eyebrows confused about what clip.

Another comment caught his eye.

“Do you like her?”

“Do I like her? Of course, I like her, it was amazing to meet her, her covers are great, she’s so nice, also she’s like the exact opposite of her voice, it’s so funny." He laughed remembering the photo you'd sent of all your plushies lined on the bed. "Yah no she’s really sweet, we’ve been talking a lot recently, it’s been fun.”

“SIMPPPPP”

“Omg he actually likes her.”

“CORPSE X Y/N”

“Oh don’t make her uncomfortable guys,” Corpse huffed as he saw the comments. “Yah I kinda like her, but y’all are too much” he muttered, before realising exactly what he’d said.

“Wait no, what.” he stuttered, “Um oh look Rae's found some more people.”

~~~

When you finally decided to look on your phone, you realised that your Twitter notifications were blowing UP. Quickly going into the app, you clicked on one of the mentions saying “CORPSE X Y/N, ITS REAL I CANT BELIEVE IT.”

Tapping the video underneath it, you listened as Corpse talked about you, blushing when you realised what it sounded like. But...he couldn’t actually have a crush on you... right?

He was probably kidding, you told your beating heart. Probably just wanted to go trending for something. A voice whispered in your mind that Corpse wasn’t like that but you didn’t wanna give yourself hope.

Just then your phone rung, making you jump and stare shocked at the screen when you saw Corpse with a yellow heart next to it. Corpse had never called you before.

Quickly picking up the call before it could go to voicemail, you shakily questioned “Hey corpse?”

“Uh hey,” he said, his voice sounding way too deep. “Sorry I normally wouldn’t call but like, I just got off-stream and saw the Twitter trends and everything. Um, I like - didn’t wanna, um make you uncomfortable with all that so I can tell them to back off if you want?”

“Um..” you said stalling, trying to process everything here. Deciding to oho full in, you just blurted it out, “Do you actually have feelings for me?”

“Like not just friend feelings", you continued, "but like the boyfriend-girlfriend feelings if you get what I mean.”

Immediately after saying that you wanted to slap yourself. Were you in 2nd grade? Like who the hell says boyfriend girlfriend feelings?

“Uhhh, I- I kinda do I guess, I like you but like it’s okay if you don-

“I do," you said cutting him off before he could finish.

“I um, I also like you.”

“Oh.

“Yah”

“Cool”

“Cool”

A Cure for Insomnia by WrongLeverKronk

It was just past midnight when Tim stood before Jason’s door with a purple Afghan wrapped tightly around his shoulders and his bare toes curled under him. In the late hour, he didn’t bother knocking and risking waking everyone up, so he grasped the cold knob and twisted it to open the door. The lump under the covers with dark hair resting on top of the pillow proved Jason was turned away from the door and facing the far window instead. The wood floor creaked under the balls of his feet and he leapt to the soft rug next to his bed to avoid making further noise.

“No Tim, you can’t sleep in here tonight,” Jason muttered without turning around and facing him. Tim jumped slightly at the noise, expecting (and hoping) to silently slip into Jason's bed without waking him up.

Redecorating Equals Feelings by RedHeadedWoman

Jason has decided to move back into the Manor at least part time (or so he says) but there's just one problem. His bedroom has not changed since before everything so now he has to redecorate it with some help from his crazy as hell family.

Jason was going to regret this. So very much.

holy shit the fluff. oh my god its so fucking fluffy holy shit. hholy shit

those few summer days by wearealltalesintheend

"An entire week away from Bat-related stuff, it's all Jason wants.

Just one week. That’s not asking too much.

It’s pretty reasonable, if you ask him.

And yet.

And yet."

or, alternatively, one does not simply walk into Spain, peer pressure is a real danger, and catching a plane to Yemen might have been preferable to this.

this fic is really funny and i keep coming back to it so here you go

the curse of cousin Chad by Poteto

Tim Drake's only wish is for people to stop talking about Red Robin on the news (and a monkey's paw finger curls somewhere as Chad Wayne shows up in their lives.)

You probably need to read the first fic in this series but both of these fics are equally hilarious but i'm in love with batfam vs. normal people

Band/Artist: Hippo Campus

Song: Simulation Swarm by Big Thief

Album: Ed Buys Houses by Sidney Gish

hey this is ira 4-5 days in the future this is going under a read more you'll see why thanks so much love you

Hippo Campus

Do I know them already?: yes :) and i am so normal about them come closer | no 

If I know them: 

Favourite Song: Usually Chapstick, Formerly Bambi, Currently Listerine ; okay i've been working on this ask for a few days because busy. i also really like ease up kid an abnormal amount.

Least Favourite Song: uhhh. not necessarily "least favourite" as much as "have listened to it less than 10 times" - baby

Favourite Album: i think landmark is just always going to be a part of my life forever and ever to be honest with you. it's the album that got me into hippo campus and the summer a few years ago now that it was the only album i listened to for 3 months was the lowest place i've ever been in and i think this music + walking aimless and flat broke in a city i had literally run away to on a manic whim for hours because i worked all the time but never made enough money to do anything there + listening to landmark on total flat out loop until i heard the music even when i wasn't listening to anything - is something i don't think i will ever be able to forget. those 3 months were...not ideal? but this one album has attached to it every single small shred of a good thing, a good feeling, a good meal, relief from sitting down after a 12 hour restaurant shift, sunset in the best autumn weather i've ever experienced, riding a bus that wasn't for school for the first time, my first taste of a real, actual city life, boardwalk wandering, the laughter however rare and even the month i spent in the hospital; which, mind you, was easily the best month of the whole three of them. really good album. lp3 is really bomb too :)

Least Favourite Album: mmm. demos I ? but not. all the songs on it i just vibe better with the mesh of how demos II is set up...

Song that got me into them: it has quite literally been. years and years but i think it was halocline, waaay. way back in 2015 on my not-boyfriend's 8tracks. then i forgot about the band when i stopped talking to my not-boyfriend. then found them again a few years later with bambi, which still is very very very dear to me and very important

Seen Live?: 

Not. Yet. Soon.

Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 100 this is literally my favorite band almost 10 years running babey #hippocampussweep

wait holy shit i just looked it up i know this album. i did not recognize the artist name or album name at all. what do you want from me tonight is one of my fav songs that i point at and say look its me. hell yes

Opinion on cover design: it's so good it looks like the inside of my brain :]

Favourite song: what do you want from me tonight (before listening to full album) | ...Other than WDYWFMT (bc h. yes) probably either hexagons and other fun materials Or presumably dead arm. :) i also really like homecoming serf for sureeee!!

Least favourite song: midnight jingle sorry or not sorry depending on how you feel abt it

Underrated track: i do not follow a lot of ppl who talk abt gish. but probably buckets of fun

Overrated track: i do not follow a lot of ppl who talk abt gish. pbb wdywfmt because thats the one that came up on my discover weekly like 2 years ago when i foudn that song and proceeded to not listen to any of the rest of it until just now so thank you

Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9.5 | 10 

Song opinions:

!Ed Buys Houses! -- Cute and poppy absolutely zoned out during it though because I was so floored at the realization that i knew this album and haven't recognized it this almost whole week

Midnight Jingle -- Unfortunately i am extremely nitpicky about speaking voices in my songs and the niche where voices are good in a song and where i start getting bored / annoyed is thin and veneered in judgement. the actual song is good i just almost skipped it entirely because of the phone convo at the beginning

Buckets of Fun -- YES YES YES STATIC DISTORTION IN SONGS <333 YES BABE RUUUUIN THE LEVELS ON YOUR AUDIO FILES!!!!! YES !!!!!!!!!!!!

Homecoming Serf -- oh good the melancholy. hm this is less about the Song and more about the Experience thus far (oh hell yes jesus of suburbia reference <3) but i really love how the songs so far haven't been super jarring to the pace of listening to it straight through, midnight jingle is almost in my mind retroactively justified because i can't imagine the disappointment i'd feel about another I CAN EASILY ACT GAYER THAN FUCK HATE. i love you gish. thanks. i'd feel about another phone call dragging on for a minute before there's any Song. so if it has to exist it does make sense to be a "first song" after the "theme" song that !EBH! is serving as a role. this song though goes so fucking hard i relate so hard <3 i love the atmosphere. it's not a sad song? it's a song that's lowkey and expressionistic--okay, sorry to be...a theatre person but in this song specficially sidney sounds like veronica sawyer from o'keefe's running ?? i think ??

Vaudeville -- aw hey apparently i have vaudeville relatives on my mom's side that's fun. this song does sort of slow down but again the pace is very intentional / consistent still. almost like a heart beat! i don't know how to word it but there's some kind of specific Thing that gish is doing with the music overall that is very funky and i enjoy it very much. the words and phrases and curses placed so Casually throughout the music is very harsh in a very good way. like a scrape at a waterpark. or rope burn on a tire swing.

Friday Night Placebo -- i've been eyeing the title of this song this whole time... it definitely is starting to slow down, but again it's like the entire album is on a curve. okay it ramps up and then down. i also feel like it's possible the album is weaving a specific story but i can't read the lyrics while i type this so i struggle to hear all the words (#hohW) but i do love just this feeling. very hazy? is that the word? i'm trying to find this word that encompasses this feeling. it's not hazy, it's not juvenile. what is the word! sorry i kept getting called by a telemarketer during this song but tbh that added i think to the intended emotion overall. maybe. it feels very ... not rugged. what is the word. oh the song's over--

Hexagons and Other Fun Materials -- funky groovy ass bass line. hell yes. also i love shapes please explain math and shapes to me. oh no i relate to this song already oh g-d oh fuck fuck oh no. fuck. well. what a fun little story about wanting to find something to excel in so that you will seem in some way meshed with those around you, but you are not able to force yourself into it. okay. there's voices in this one but i relate so deeply to the song itself in a way that is a little shocking for some reason that actually i don't even care. i might even Like those voices being there. oh my g-d i need to call my therapist. sorry. hesus christ.

Cokesbury -- back down to the dampened tone... you know those hoodies? with the - like - wool, i think, or maybe hemp...? thick knit and super super rough textured, with the slow diamond patterns. you can get them in stoner shops a lot i think. that's what this sounds like. it smells like incense and a super dark, barely lit, cramped souveneir shop in a college town (not a college city. college Town.) there's like one employee who leans against the cashier counter and ignores you as long as they possibly can (as they should). this album is probably the type of music that would play on those shitty little sony speakers hung up way too far apart in each corner of the store and played at too low a volume to actual build into a song you can hear properly. it's great.

It's Afternoon, I'm Feeling Sick -- this album came out in 2016 which is when-ish i moved across the country to live with my dad i hadn't spoken to in 5+ years out of nowhere and i know this is not true this is a joke here but also i do think if you put this album to a wordless biopic of the last 2 years of high school and first 2 years of my dad having custody of me you would think it had been written for that biopic specifically. good song!

Presumably Dead Arm -- yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes the intro. is nice. yes there's the words. oh i love this alreadyyyy. second to last song on the album yes babe i love it. honey you are nothing to me!!!! i am dying on the sofa and i'm . oh my G-D this one could be the ending of the biopic where i had run away from home and was insane for several years following. i want to have a coffee with gish gonna be honest with you i think we'd have some things to talk about. i love the "i want to go back, i want to know you when i didn't and i want to have what everyone i knew had" ... oh boy this song hits for me. i think this one's going on my "songs that look like me" playlist. btw i genuinely have no idea if any of this Says Anything about my mental state or whatever so like feel free to psychoanalyze me should you ever want to i love being perceived. 10/10 song. oh no we're almost done. i was just starting. where did the time go.

What Do You Want From Me Tonight? -- WELL I TOOK SOMEONES ADVICE WITH A ROLL OF EACH EYE!!!!! SHE TOLD ME TO SIT DOWN TWICE WAHT DO YOU WANT FROM ME TONGITH NOW IM STUCK LOSING MY MIND WHILE EVERYONE ELSE JUST THINKS THAT IM REALLY SHY WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME TONGIHT CUZ IM INVITED BUT IM TERRIFIED TOO AND ILL SIT HERE FOR A MILLION YEARS JUST STARING ACROSS THE ROOM BUT WHAT DO YOU WANT CUZ I WANT IT ALL AND ID REALLY RATHER STEP BACK BUT MY WALLS AGAINST THE WALL WHAT IF IM TOO NICE ITS A PUNCH IN THE FACE TO BE SO OVERPOLITE WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME TONGIHT MY VOICE IS TOO HIGH AND IT MATCHES MY HEAD AND I LOOK LIKE I WANNA DIE WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME TONGIHT?

Character: Phinks

Au: Single parent

R: Gn

A/n: Phinks being a sappy dad? More likely than you could imagine

MasterList

A kid, a kid, was the last thing Phinks could imagine he had to look after. Neither you nor he could expect the result of your child's small figure attaching themselves into Phinks leg and smiling widely up at him while babbling incoherent words. When you told him you had someone you want him to meet, the second date, he was puzzled, but nothing prepared him for what or who it was. You wanted to be honest and straightforward from the beginning and, we're already telling him it was okay if he wanted to end it right then and there. No one wanted to be with someone who was; just starting out being a Parent. Instead, Phinks stood quiet as you spoke, eyes looking down at ones that reflected your very own as tiny hands hugged his leg. To your surprise, the only thing that came out at that moment was.

"Hey kid, what's ya name?"

He didn't know why he stayed. Sure he could say; the truth which was, that he was in love with you ever since he met you. But another part of him couldn't shake the feeling every time those little eyes looked for him around each room in the house. Fast footsteps and loud giggles invading his ears as your child found him on the couch and tried climbing to get to him. Phinks smiling softly each time he heard babbles as your child sat next to him, excited trying, to mimic his same movements.

Maybe it was how dedicated you were to raising the kid, watching you carry all those bags up and down, Waking up in the middle of the night to soothe the babies crying. To you making funny faces while feeding the little guy always made him chuckle, maybe because he could see all the love you were putting out to give this Baby all that they needed and more. Something he didn't get while growing up himself.

You were always around when the kid was. Only a few times, you asked him to keep an eye on the baby while you needed to get something. For the most part, the 3 of you were always doing things together. This time however it was going to gets tricky, with Phinks suddenly getting called by Shalnark that a few of the members were going to drop by to talk about new information for their next heist. He was about to protest, scream even, but that blonde bimbo already hangs up on him. Phinks staring down at his phone as the kid bite down on his clothes. Phink's let out a deep sigh as he pulls his clothes out of his mouth and sat down.

This wasn't good, you were out for some errands and left him with the baby for a few hours. The crew knew about you two dating, but not about a kid being around. They were for sure to cause some chaos and not know how to be quiet with a kid around. Also, they were for sure to start teasing him for looking like an old man with a baby in his lap. He groans loudly as he fell back on the couch, small hands squeezing his face as the baby jump on his chest. Babbling again as Phinks let out another groan.

"Sad?" Phink's eyes shoot open as he heard sniffling, sitting back up quickly as he holds into the kid gently.

"Nonono, I'm not sad, tired I'm tired look, look I'm happy!" He quickly blurts out.

"Look, Kido, eat your cereal, hmm yummy," the sniffling die down quickly, as they quietly started grabbing one by one cereal pieces in their hands while shoving them into their mouth.

"Listen... some... Friends are going to stop by, and I need you to be good okay? You'll go to the pent while I talk, okay?" Phinks sigh as the baby nodded. He almost flinches at the sound of knocking. That was quicker than he wanted it to be.

His eyes almost twitch as laughter from the other side was quickly apparent to him. The desire to rip his hair off was huge as he made his way to the door. Swinging it open to meet familiar faces. Mostly everyone's smile drop ( Uvogin and Shalnark) at the sudden view of Phinks and the baby eating its cereal with puffy cheeks.

"Holy shit, you stole a FUCKING baby?" Uvogin exclaims as he shoved everyone away with his hands as he leans down to the baby's height. Wiggling his fingers as the child stared at him while eating their snack.

"No, they're my partner's, You can either come in or get lost." Phinks quickly reply as he moved out of the way to let them pass.

"Boring, stealing one better," Feitan mumble out as he made his way in along with the others who were still giving Phinks a questionable look as they made themselves in your home.

" This explains why you been so distracted," Pakunoda commented as she leans down to look down at the baby, giving them a smile with a wave.

"Yeah, yeah, can we just get down to business so y'all can leave" Phinks mutter out as he closed the door. Making his way to put the baby in the pent before they whine and hold him tightly.

"Nuuuuuh," they wine as their eyes started to get glossy, Phink's wince internally hearing a few chuckles behind him.

"Okay, okay, okay," Phinks mumble out going back to sitting down with the baby on his lap now smiling. Nobunaga opens his mouth to speak.

"Not a word," Phinks quickly blurt out.

Machi didn't seem to pay much attention to whatever was going on. Unlike the rest, she went straight forward by explaining the whole plan. The entire time the baby stood quiet in Phink's lap, time to time playing with a toy in their hands to giving Phinks much larger palm high fives. To giggling at Uvogins and Shalnark's funny faces. The troupe seems almost amazed at how calm and unbothered Phinks look while dealing with the Baby on him. Not even looking down to when tiny hands wanted something, Phinks was already giving it to them as if already knowing what they wanted.

"Heh, you're actually pretty good at handling that brat," Nobunaga blurts out, causing Phinks and the others to snap out of whatever Machi was saying.

"Watch it," Phinks blurt out slightly defensive at the choice of words.

"He got a point, you look like a bored Dad" Shalnark pipe in, shaking one of the baby toys in front of the giggling child.

"Yeah, who would think you'll be such a softy" Uvogin added in with a teasing grin. Phinks cheeks burn up as he groans loudly.

"Keep it up, and I'm kicking you all out." he hisses out, the baby wiggle around his lap. Phinks grip loosens as they slide down to the floor. Awkwardly trying to crawl their way to the bag of toys in the center. Everyone's eyes were on them as they spill the toys out of the bag and look through them. As if a single wrong move and they would be in a battle zone as the child looks around the pile of toys on a mission. That is until the child raises a cube in full on victory.

"Ah! Daddy! Look! Look!" They looked up at Phinks smiling, cue the dramatic awe from the troupe. While Phinks completely ignore them, he was too focused on what the baby just called him. The word 'Daddy' echoing in his head loud and clear.

"Okay, that was actually pretty cute" Shalnark mumble out, Phinks eyes watch the baby crawl its way back and hug his leg.

"Daddy, daddy, daddy," they kept repeating while patting Phinks legs like a drum.

"Haha that's so sappy Phi- holy shit Dude are you crying?" Nobunaga blurt out seeing Phinks shake slightly on his spot on the couch.

.

.

"Phink's I'm so sorry I was out for so long i- uhhh..." You stop your tracks in the doorway. Jaw slowly wanting to fall to the ground as Phinks lay on the floor with the baby on his chest.

"Hey" he simply blurts out.

"Uh hey? What are you two doing on the floor?" You try to hold in a laugh looking at the show in front of you. The baby pretending to be asleep as it smiles with its eyes close.

"Father and child bonding," Phinks simply said while looking at you.

You smile softly, placing your bags on the floor, you made your way over and lay down with them.

"The squirts good at pretending to sleep." he blurts out as he stares at you.

"Yeah, I wonder where he got that from" you both softly laugh.

"I think I got the hang of it.." Phinks mumble out. "Not leaving for the world... This kid..., You..., make me really happy," he mumbled out. You stare up at him in awe, tears daring to form in the corner of your eyes.

"I'm their Daddy now," Phinks added,

"guess that means you got to deal with us messing the place,"

"Phinks"

Kidnapped by Baby Yoda pt. 3

Pt. 1 Pt. 2 Pt. 3

hey guys pls lmk what you think and be honest!!! thank you so much for 80 notes holy fucking shit wowie 

It's weird one day you're assisting teaching a class to a bunch of miscellaneous alien children on nevarro hating your life, and the next you're stuck on a ship with a mandalorian and his foundling who inexplicably decided he needed you to come.

“I'm going to talk to him today kid, believe me” you said to the lump of wool perched on your knee. Mando was out doing maker knows what, and you were left alone with the little guy like always. His big eyes gazed at you dubiously as if to say suuuuure. The amount of judgmental bitchy energy he could produce sometimes was astounding. “No really, i've been living here for what, uh 3 weeks maybe? And all we've really said to each other was the initial greeting and uh the exchange of names?” The last part trails off as you realize you don't even know his name. You said yours but he responded with telling you to call him Mando. So you didn't push it. You dont know alot about mandalorians considering they are almost extinct and their beliefs are often made to seem like folklore. But you do know that individualism and identity is not something particularly celebrated. So you decided to leave the amount of information he wants to share with you up to him out of respect. So far that's been none. “So, kid, how'd you break through his shell? He likes you?” the child just blinks unhelpfully. “I mean you never talk to him, but i've tried that and we saw how that went” literally radio silence from him. You don't particularly think of yourself as an extrovert who constantly needs interaction but you do need some. And currently you have the kid as a companion and if you didn't know any better you'd say Mando was a droid with how he acts. You also resolved that you needed to help out more. Basically you were a glorified babysitter and the idea that Mando was going to realize that he was better off without you on his ship as deadweight terrified you. You were a good cook, I guess you could say, but Mando always brought food back with him when he went out and then would hide in his room to eat in privacy. So that's not very helpful. The main thing that you could offer him was medical help. Back on Nevarro growing up you were the youngest of three older brothers. And considering your mother wasnt really in the picture, you had to take up the doctor role for the amount of fights three older boys could get into. You knew how to treat basically any external damage and how to sterilize and limit risk of infection. But how would you ever bring that up to mando if you guys didn't even greet each other in the mornings? Sometimes you would try to talk to him with something as simple as “good morning!” or “welcome back” or “night” or even just a simple “hey” sometimes he would bless you with a monosyllabic grunt but never anything more. But hey, you would take what you would get. After a week of this call and no response bullshit you kinda gave up and have spent the last two weeks in silence other than your episode this morning with the “good morning” fiasco. You feel your mortification settle back into your stomach at the fool you made of yourself. “Maker above, mando must hate me.” sometimes you wondered if he regretted asking you to come. But he doesn't really seem like the type of person to let you stay if you annoyed him. “Ok bug, here's the plan. What im gonna do is i will say hey when he comes back, sound good?” you look for confirmation from the creature and he gives you a slight tilt of his chin. Satisfied you continue, “and i will uhm say good night and good morning every day until he responds or tells me to shut up.” you finish with a huff of breath. This will either end with you finally finally getting to have real human interaction or left on some random ass planet god knows where.     

Mando makes his way back to ship feeling the pebbles crunch beneath the heavy sole of his boot. This planet was a desert planet much like nevarro, he wondered if you missed home. Mean no shit she's probably homesick dumbass he thinks its not like he was doing anything to make the ship feel welcoming. Like talking to you. But you made the ship feel like a home for the kid and that's more than he could ever want. You probably didn't realize how much what you were doing meant to him. You made the kid happy, you were giving him something that mando never could, a mother figure. Mando tried his hardest to be what he thought was a father for the kid but it was hard. He had to go and work and it wasn't safe to bring a kid so he was often swept around to different planets and left for hours by himself waiting for mando to come back and it was hard on mando. But you, now you were there. And the kid was always safe with you. He should probably teach you some self defense he thought considering how dangerous being associated with him was especially considering you needed to protect the child. But honestly, mando had no idea if you knew how to protect yourself, you might, space is a dangerous world. He only knew that you were a teacher but that was it. Slightly alarming that he implicitly trusted you without any prior knowledge of you or your credentials. You could be a bounty hunter assigned to kill him for all he knew, or to steal the kid, but you probably would have done that by now. Mando didn't know what made you trustworthy to him. You just were. And that terrified him. 

You're sitting in the cockpit with the child pretending to fly the ship as he gurgles happily in your lap. you giggle at the little guy and make finger guns and pretend to shoot an imaginary monster outside the window, “i'm the most fearsome bounty hunter in the guild,” the child lets out a particularly loud noise at that, “uhhh yes i am dont laugh at me, i am feared far and wide across the galaxy,” you tickle his sides with that one. youre so into playing with the kid you don't realize mando was back and is staring at you from the entryway to the cockpit. “You think i could take on your daddy, bug? You think it'd beat him in a shootout? Huh?” you say with your fingers poised and ready at the window.

“Not a chance,” says a deep voice that vibrates into the floor. You let out an embarrassing startled shriek and feel your heart do twenty somersaults and settle in your feet. The child screams at the interruption and immediately wiggles out of your grasp and waddles to Mando giddily. 

“I-i i was uh joking, really i was,” you stutter out cringing at the incredulous tone your voice comes out as. Remembering your resolve to talk to him you continue on even though you feel like you might throw up your breakfast from nerves. “He misses you during the day,” gesturing to the child, “so i pretend to be you” you finish realizing that sounds super fucking creepy, “well not like- you- like- you,  but i pretend to like uh pilot the ship and uh shoot um things?” you ramble lamely. A huff sounds from the mandalorian and if you allowed yourself to think wishfully it was laughter. 

“Doesn't surprise me. Before you he came everywhere with me.” you feel your eyebrows raise. Everywhere? Shit. 

“Must've been difficult to complete jobs and have to keep track of him,” you say nodding your head towards the little lump of brown wool. Mando offers you an affirmative grunt before setting the child down and turning on his heel towards the fresher. So that was an improvement, you think. Got ten whole words out of him. You feel a grin split your face. Hopefully this means you are past the dancing around each other relationship. And maker above, his voice, wow. If only you could wake up to that every morning. Deep and melodic. You wonder how deep and gravelly it sounds in the mornings. Or how your name would sound tumbling off his lips in pleasure. Nope. not going down that path. That is NOT platonic thoughts. You literally had your first conversation with him since the first day you met him and you're already thinking about that? Seriously pull yourself together. You don't even know what he looks like, or how old he is. Like what if he's like 70. And really ugly. What if your having sex dreams about someone like your grandpa. Ew. Your face contorts at the thought of Mando looking like your grandpa. Okay gross stop. You need to get to know him. Have civil conversations. Push down the gross thoughts. Even if his voice sounds like honey. And home. 

You're sitting in the chair behind the pilot seat reading a random book Mando left out on the scattered floor. Its some type of mechanical manual so its truly riveting. Note the sarcasm. The child's asleep, and seeing as though mando is cooped up in his room this book is better than twiddling your thumbs mindlessly. You decided that if you were going to stay on mandos ship you should at least try to pick up some mechanic skills. Better than the rudimentary at best you had at the present moment. You knew how to fix blatant errors in engines and how to reconnect wires if the instructions were explained thoroughly and very slowly. Okay maybe you didn't really know anything past engines. But that was better than nothing? Kinda? You sigh closing the book after rereading the same sentences about pre-imperial versus post-imperial hyperdrives. Maker what was the difference? The both made the ship go super fast or something? Was that the hyperdrive? You shook your head feeling the thought start to culminate into a downward spiral of what a hyperdrive truly was. You looked around the cluttered hull and decided that you should probably occupy yourself by cleaning up the mess. Mando might appreciate it, it'll also make you less of a deadweight on the ship. It was crazy how much shit one man and his child could accumulate on one tiny ship. You don't think you had ever seen this many small metal bowls in one place. The stack currently in the corner probably contained about 12. In what universe would 2 creatures ever need the same bowls 12 times. Well you guess now it's three. The thought filled your chest with a balloon of warmth only to be popped by the realization that you weren't part of the little family mando and the child were. At best you were a business associate. The kids stand in caregiver. Babysitter.

 The realization that you didn't have anyone to call family at your disposal fell heavy on your shoulders. Sinking you into the corner of the hull. You dont think youve ever felt more alone. In the cold corner of the hull with a hand pressed to your chest in an attempt to quell your ragged breaths.  Like a small raft cast into the oceanic expanse of space. If you drowned, who would notice? Certainly not your family, they were maker knows where, probably light years away. You didn't even know what sector you were in anymore. What would your father think of your decision to leave nevarro? You hadn't seen him in a while but you remembered the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled. And how he would hug you after a long day. Hold you like you were still his little girl. The craving for a warm embrace from a solid body slammed into you with all the force of a meteor. Leaving you stunned and lost. You briefly wondered how mando coped. How did he deal with the overwhelming feeling of loneliness?  How did he leave his guild? Did he miss them? Were they like a family? Did he think about them often? How did he cope with the lack of touch? Or did he not think about it at all? Did he not need it? Was he so disconnected from the world through his beskar that he couldn't remember the feeling of someone's fingers on his skin? Etching a path with the searing heat they exuded. Hearing approaching footsteps you attempt to pull yourself together. Regulate your breathing, get rid of tear tracks and lose the flush coloring your face. You could do this. As he rounded the corner he stopped. You peered up at him from your curled up position on the floor and offered him a smile that felt unconvincing even on your lips. He tilted his head slightly at you and made his way cautiously to where you were. He bent slightly and offered a brown leather clad hand to you. For a second the only sound heard was the faint crackle of his breathing in his helmet. You could see him faltering. Here he was offering you comfort in your clearly distressed state and you were pointedly ignoring it. You laced your fingers with his and nearly doubled over from the strength he exuded into pulling you up. As soon as you were fairly steady on your feet you marveled at your hand shocked by the warmth creeping through the leather of the glove permeating into your palm. He sighed, a deep release of tension from his shoulders followed. “What's wrong?” he said, his hand still lazily grasping your fingers. You looked at him, what was wrong?

“How do you do it?” you said echoing his words from your first meeting to him. his thumb dragged a slow line along your wrist. When he didn't respond you added, “how are you okay with being alone?” if you could see his face you would say he looked taken aback. He released your hand.

“I'm not.” he offered. Confused as to which question he was answering you remained silent hoping to prompt him to continue. He started again, “I'm not alone, not truly. I have him.” he gestured vaguely to his sleeping quarters where the kid slept. He rubbed the back of his neck, 

“And neither are you.”
