⚠️The drawing base does not belong to me!! I found the base on Pinterest!! (It’s a bit hard to find the original owner and their proper credentials on Pinterest but just for now know that it wasn’t created by me!!) All characters don’t belong to me either!! They all belong to @just_a_carrot!! As extra precaution I’d like to say that 🥕s design wasn’t really original, it was very HEAVILY inspired by how some other artists draw 🥕!!⚠️

Phew!! Guess what!! Pot fiiiiinally posted!!!! Pffft uhhh idk if anyone noticed my disappearance but I guess I’ll explain anyway???? Uhhhh I mean I don’t really have much to say?? Sometimes I just don’t have the time to reblog or post anything ig HAH! I’ve been making a lot of doodles though!! I doubt I’ll be posting any of them though 😭 After Art Fight I wanted to start getting more into art and such because I really enjoyed making art for people and trying to make them happy!!!! So really I’m trying to spend the small amount of free time I have to fixing parts of my art that I don’t like (MOSTLY anatomy because…you know….I don’t like bodies and bodies don’t like me 😭) I’m glad I finally built up some art and can finally have something to post!! YIPPEEEEEE!!!
I love bases. I haven’t said it online before because I haven’t posted anything about making art based off of bases but there’s just something about them that I LOVE!! I saw this base QUITE a while ago but today was the day that I said I was actually going to draw it. The original plan was actually to just post the base and say “This is totally 🥕” or something like that HAH but in the end I realized…wait…I like bases so that I can draw them….WHY DON’T I JUST DRAW THIS ONE AS WELL????? And thats how the abomination was born hehe 😭
🥕s SONA(???) IS VERY CUTE!!!! I enjoyed drawing it heh!! I’m not used to drawing carrot people??? So I’m glad I got to test something!! Atleast I can also differentiate their sona from other peoples as well!! WHICH IS A GOOD THING!!! Also they may be an artist and a writer, but they also CODE AS WELL?? CODING ALL OF OW??? KFJLKSJDF 🥕 HAS A MANY OF TALENTS AND PROBABLY SUFFER A LOT BECAUSE OF IT 😭 KLDSFLKJDF ALL OF THEIR WORK IS AMAZING GAHHH PLEASE SHOW LOTS OF LOVE TO 🥕 PLEEEEEAASSEE!!! 🙏💖 I was going to color 🥕 in the drawing but for some reason I just thought it didn’t look good and I didn’t want to ruin the drawing anymore so I decided to keep it as it was!!

Xavi and Kieran aus
First the Xavi and Kieran aus listed then I’ll explain them (I’ll make other posts for other ocs)
-Main universe
-Zombie apocalypse au
-Zombie apocalypse au deviation 2
-Zombie apocalypse au deviation 2.5
-Future au
-Vampire apocalypse au
-Species swap au
-Species swap zombie apocalypse au
-Mermaid au
-Mermaids and Sirens au
-Normal world au
-Mystery dungeon au
Now explaining each of those universes
Zombie apocalypse Au is traumatic as heck for both of them
They met up in Kitakami like they’d planned on a late night conversation of what they would do if there was a apocalypse
They stuck together for a while with the SCARVO system protecting Kieran at least till Kieran got bit and he fell fast
The SCARVO system then left planet given they called Paden who had left planet priorly and they left
The SCARVO system assumed Kieran probably died
And Kieran couldn’t find any remains of the SCARVO system once he was cured and would live hoping the SCARVO system and Ogerpon just disappeared and hoped that because Ogerpon is missing too that meant they were alive
Zombie apocalypse au deviation 2
The Au where Paden and the SCARVO system stay on planet
They find Arven and the three stick together
But tensions are high in that group in that cave
Given
The SCARVO system is the only one traveling out and they are fighting zombies (including Penny and Nemona) and keeping information
Paden is going insane because immortality in this time of everyone dying is not fun also in one deviation he makes a genetical weapon against zombies
And Arven is living with 2 aliens who he knew were aliens but now are 10xs more clearly aliens
Everyone in the group is making regrettable decisions
Zombie apocalypse au deviation 2.5
Is just the goofy version of 2 where Kieran survives and is part of the group
He acts as the much needed mediator
And gets the information about Nemona and Penny out of the SCARVO system and the group of 4 just leave planet
(Also in the afterlife Penny is watching this all like a sitcom as a joke)
Future Au
:0000
Love this one it’s just the plan for theyre future
So Xavi and Kieran actually live on oni mountain and only go down for the festival WHICH THEY RUN
And they are so goofy (also they go down for weddings of friends and stuf)
Ok next is the vampire Au our friend Rae made
It’s where Kieran is a vampire and one of the major ones but the SCARVO system just follows him around like “wait both of my closest people are immortal uhhhh Kieran can you bite me? Plsssss” and Kieran is just like “no.. you smell weird”
Next is the species swap Au where we already made a post abt it so here’s the full text
First off the SCARVO system has a really similar story to ours but they live in kitakami and gotta go over the dang system species
Xavi is human now probably Japanese 
Sol is now a Oceanatic in nature probably developed the nonhuman traits once the system met Kieran
Apollo is now also alien based not sure which one
Nyx is a British man
Starfruit is American but also nonhuman based on the show but the show they watched the English dub for some reason 
Original Host would be Japanese and probably have a different name possibly a number name like 1
Notte would be British as well
Star Prince is still whatever the heck star prince is
Spinner is a Oceanatic and the kid is energetic 
Soul wouldn’t exactly exist tbh
Now nonhuman Kieran
Carmine fucked the two up by speaking up against something in Oceanatic society and got herself and her small little colony which was just Kieran exiled and the two crashed on earth where they bandaged each other up then Carmine worked on survival while Kieran just explored and was allowed to be a kid
One night while Kieran was exploring he ran into a human kid who was looking at the stars and introduced himself as Lou at least Kieran thought?  This fellow kid spoke fast and in a completely different language and it was confusing but Kieran decided to observe humans and learn their language just posing as a nonverbal child till then and eventually him and Carmine found a school that would take them of blueberry so both could learn about humans more efficiently especially because the human Kieran had met mentioned something about school friends 
Meanwhile the SCARVO system lived in kitakami but because Kitakami doesn’t have a school they did online schooling and only had online friends making Penny their first friend and when Penny decided to go to the Paldea school she suggested it to the SCARVO system who agreed to go as well and that’s when they also met Nemona and Arven and Paden
Oh also everyone becomes immortal in this au bc Arven would turn everyone immortal if he was a dang alien
Also Kieran isn’t found out as a alien for a long while simply bc he’s around Xavi enough that people assume he’s just autistic and Xavi is still more alien like then Kieran to the outside eye
Species swap but zombie apocalypse au
This one turns out happier then the original but is still crazyyyyy
Like sure
SCARVO got infected given they still tried to fight zombies
Kieran is assumed as dead given he left planet and left everything behind
But
The two end up in good places?
Xavi is cured and calmed by Penny and Nemona
And
Kieran gets found by Constellationauts and taken in becoming a space pirate and enjoying it
Mermaid au
Just a basic mermaid Au where Xavi is a mermaid and Kieran is a human who discovers the mermaid and they become friends and fall in love
Mermaid and Siren Au
Xavi is still a alien but a under water mermaid and joins two sirens of Kieran and Carmine and they are a trio of idiots the sirens seriously having to wonder what Xavi is but Xavi just assuming the two are Oceanatics as well
Normal world Au
isn’t planned out but would be so goofy like both autistic weirdos being close
Mystery dungeon au
In the mystery dungeon au Kieran is a Sentret/Furret and Xavi is probably a Mudkip or maybe a shiny Vaporeon given purple fish boi

Idk if I'm super late to this or if I missed a response, but I'd like to hear your thoughts about Roberto Crinkletop being Robert Crumplebottom. I'm not sure how I feel about it and would be happy hearing somebody else's opinion
You are not late on this nor did you miss a post from me about Roberto, but oh boy do I have thoughts! LOTS of them! I forgot about EA's atrocious little video until this ask remined me. Thank you!
I considered making a whole lore post on Agnes and I still might - but this whole thing with Roberto has re-contextualized her lore in the most inconsistent way, in my opinion. It has also discouraged me from wanting to talk about her. No surprise there though - they have fumbled the ball with lore in TS4 time and time again, and I think I am apart of a minority that just doesn't want them to address it any more. Even the slight mention of the Landgraabs in their most recent livestream made my skin crawl in the worst way. I just wish the Sims team would just stop pandering to a fanbase they do not care about in order to seem like they're putting thought into these families when they make them (spoiler: it's clear they don't put that much thought into them, if any at all. I truly believe they used to care, but that has been lost to time and that's why the games just aren't the same as they used to be. Trying to fuck with preexisting families, like the Goths for example, is only ruining what made them good in the first place... but I digress.)
Basically though, I'll sum it up now by saying that it seemed to be canon that the death and/or disappearance of Agnes' husband is what made her turn sour and callous (grief is what made her the person she is today, grief and loss made her hate romance). But then that wretched video drops and they decide to portray young Agnes as this mean, naggy wife that her poor husband (eye roll...) had to escape from? It even feels like they're insinuating that she was actually abusive because he says coming to Chestnut Ridge and becoming a nectar maker literally saved his life. Like holy shit! Just seems really fucking dumb to me if we're being honest!
It's just lazy writing, and it doesn't make sense with what we know of Agnes from TS2/TS3. In the original games it felt like she was a nuisance and a miserable old woman who we're supposed to feel bad for. In TS2 her actions aren't explained, but we know she is adverse to romance. In TS3 we see her in a whole new light, and it's pretty devastating how the loss clearly impacted her (that half unfinished nursery lives in my mind rent free). It was implied that they loved each other, in my opinion, but it seems like the Sims team will never miss an opportunity to villainize a female premade. I'm serious - it's actually getting concerning how the negative traits or actions of the male characters in this game are always twisted to be endearing, understandable, or momentarily misguided. But the women? Oh no, they're insufferable nags, abusers whose husbands need to leave them, women who never really loved their spouses at all, they're evil, they're mean, they're distant, they are bad wives and mothers, they are money-hungry, they are killers, and that's the whole of their marketing.
Poor uwu baby boys, save them from the mean ladies!! And if they cheat on the mean ladies, the ladies deserved it! If they are a serial cheater who will go as far as to leave their fiance at the aisle, that's okay because they're just a lovable himbo! If their wives go missing and they date a woman much younger than them, that's okay - she's actually the money hungry one! Yes he is lazy and does not have any ambition or drive, but his wife is so mean for being tired of their life being stagnant - she is the problem! She is a money hungry evil woman and he is just her husband who has no idea! He's rich and literally lives with her but uhhhh he's so nice that the estranged son (who looks just like him) isn't even his!
Ugh. Give me a break sims team. I'm tired!

I bring numbers for your asks🤲. (You absolutely do not have to answer them all lol)
3 5 12 14 15 19 20 32 38 39
I go to look at the post bc I screenshoted it and my draft disappeared 😭 I’m gonna cry if this happens again
3. I actually have 4 movies and they are: The Princess Bride, Legally Blonde, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Jumanji (the original one from last century (I don’t remember the year unfortunately))
5. I got bored. My parents bought my phone so I have to follow their rules and that means no social media and this was as close as I could get. Also I saw a lot of tumblr screenshots on Pinterest and wanted to see the hype
12. Make sure you take care of your mental health, even if it means cutting out “friends”. You’ll be better off for it. Trust me, I know. Also, probably don’t have kids
14. Try new things. It’s stupid, but I know what I like, and what if I try the new thing and I don’t like it or it’s something that turns out to be bad for me?
15. My friends. “Home” is where I go when I’m tired and just want to chill. Home is where I go when I’m feeling sad or just got great news and want to share it. My friends are my true home
19. It’s either getting to see my friends (during the school year) or getting to chill and relax, read or write or play video games. Really, it’s just when I can relax and enjoy myself, either with friends or alone.
20. The sound the cicadas make during spring and summer while I’m falling asleep. The beautiful awe inspiring stars. How the moon makes everything practically glow after it rains.
32. On my phone? Over 300. On my laptop? Maybe around 12?
38. Uhhhh either “What the World Needs” from the Ride the Cyclone musical or “Concertina Ballerina” by Alternative Radio (thank god for friends that like different music)
39. This dude (I’m not trying to spell his name) Why? HES THE BEST CAT DAD EVER AND HIS CAT IS SO ADORABLE SHES SO BABIE!!!

Nodding to much of what you said, although I won’t address everything little thing here for time’s sake :P
(maybe it’ll come up at a different point, anyhow) (sorry in advance for typos... I just noticed some in my original post, too OTL)
That’s an interesting detail about who Cannavale based Torquemada on. I’d always assumed that the character was written into the show (with the club backdrop, that is) based on Michael Alig… It seemed likely to me that Fontana would’ve remembered it from the news in the 90s and thrown it in. But that’s more me thinking about creator’s inspiration. I think I also think of Torquemada more as the wannabe mogul type, so the actor definitely brought that energy, haha.
As far as Torquemada’s backstory goes, I have a vivid picture of a young Alonzo for some reason... Maybe for the reason above, to be honest. I think he would’ve been a deceptively petty and vicious boy. Maybe his queerness would’ve become more apparent in his teen years, but at the same time, I think he would have known how to use a kind of social charm to protect himself—surrounding himself with the right people and all that. He strikes me as the kind of guy who from a young age decides that they’re going to be someone and do something. Definitely always hustling one way or another and wanting to be the center of attention in the beginning—throwing ragers, hosting, making a name as a guy to know. Running a nightclub would’ve been a way to meet people and boost his own celebrity. I kind of headcanon him as perhaps being on the cusp of wanting to move on from nightclubs to something bigger and better and then shifting into selling drugs as a way to enrich himself further before figuring out what that next step should’ve been… but resentment toward associates ultimately takes him down and he arrives at Oz instead…. Lol, to answer your question, I highly doubt it was Torquemada’s intent to land in Oz; I think he literally couldn’t refuse his impulse to throw acid in the other person’s face. That kind of goes to my headcanon for the hypothetical post-canon/s7. I think like many of the characters in Oz, one of Torquemada’s biggest weaknesses is that he can’t control himself. Hubris.
Personally, I don't see him as being particularly prone to severe depression, but I imagine his depression would be the irritable type. I think he would lash out. In a way, he is already a little bit delusional on his own—I think he has to be, to have his ambitions as well as his strengths. So yeah, I think he would just go sort of a self-destructive Ortolani route, in some ways, on his own terms, trying to take back control but burning out fast (no pun intended).
Anyway, I agree that Torquemada’s aggressive approach that we see in the show would have only worked for so long, which is why I’m personally not so sure about the idea of him having storylines as early as season 3 or 4 (I think there was a misunderstanding lol—I meant EPISODE 3 or 4 of season 6 in my original post, haha). Unless he was suuuuper quiet as he built his standing—seems improbable/a completely different character at that point, possibly—I don’t think he could’ve rode the wave that long in the greater landscape of the show. Would've probably ended up butting heads with someone else trying to make moves, like O'Reily, perhaps. Unless he crashed and burned and then disappeared for a couple seasons like Schibetta, I think Alonzo's queerness would have meant that his end is The End for him… He’d get either killed or permanently moved away to PC, transferred, etc.
As far as Chico ODing, I will address it because uhhhh look at my blog, but: also, honestly I still don’t know how he managed to do that, because surely the guy can handle his drugs??? One would assume?? I’ve scattered my theories across several replies under other posts so I’ll just put some of my thoughts here, as they relate to Torquemada’s plans anyway, or a potential reading:
Theory 1: ACCIDENT - Chico just overestimated his tolerance or underestimated the strength of Destiny: idk, maybe he’d been clean for a while, etc, accidental ODs happen obviously. When Miguel refused the tab, he may have unthinkingly ingested it thinking it’d be fine
Theory 2: SABATOGE! The Destiny Torquemada gave Chico was laced / Torquemada told Chico the incorrect dosage to intentionally make him overdose
My main reason for thinking this is the idea that Alonzo wanted to work with Miguel. With Morales out of the picture around the time that Alonzo arrives, there’s a power vacuum in El Norte leadership. For reasons that are hilariously absurd if you stop to think about it, Chico originally tries to nominate Miguel as leader in 6x06 but Miguel isn’t interested in leading due to his parole. It’s unclear what happens next but given Chico’s always been 2IC, it serves to assume that he is once again acting as at least the temporary leader—until he can convince Miguel to step up or someone else with a reputation like El Cid comes in and takes over instead.
Side note, I also headcanon that when Torquemada says in the computer lab “I hear you’re the man to know”, it was Chico who told him this as a ploy to force Miguel into leadership again (Miguel says “Whoever told you that was an idiot” lol). Mostly I think this had to have been so because it doesn’t super make sense for any of El Norte or, frankly, anyone else to have given Torquemada this patently false information, unless something changed and Miguel is at least the reluctant leader**. And while Torquemada *is* attracted to Miguel, I don’t think he would’ve tried to have some business meeting unless he truly thought Miguel had something to offer in that regard (otherwise he probably would’ve just gone inside to leer, right?). **I suppose it’s possible that Miguel has gone on after 6x06 to at least be leader in name due to the fact that Chico told Pancamo he is. In the case that Chico is playing serious hot potato with the leader role, then maybe Miguel has been saddled with the title without doing the job.
Regardless, in the laundry room scene, Chico’s got a boombox given to him by Alonzo and it’s clear that he’s had a chat with the guy about bringing in Destiny; this is supported by him telling Miguel that Torquemada even said they’d be giving Destiny to the hacks [insert howl and jumping spin]. After Chico is taken to the hospital ward and the unit is shaken down, we see Alonzo fixating on Miguel, who shakes his head in disbelief/disapproval/etc.
On a different day (different clothes), Torquemada approaches Miguel talking about a new shipment of D-tabs. Alonzo describes Guerra overdosing at going whacky and wants Miguel’s help with the increased hack scrutiny since he’s tight with McManus. I feel like if Alonzo was aware that Miguel was reluctant to actually be leader, then it makes sense that he could have possibly guaranteed Chico overdosing to get him fully out of the way and make sure that now Miguel actually has to be leader as there are no strong alternatives to him in El Norte and he has already been talked around as leader. Now head of El Norte, by conventional practices in Oz, he should have to be Alonzo’s business partner if he knows what's good for him... Also, El Norte are still in business with the Sicilians who are already going into business with Torquemada, so pulling in the Latinos is what the other members would probably want anyhow. Why would Alonzo do all this? We don’t really see how he views El Norte or Chico otherwise, but as we’ve established, Alonzo has a vested interest in Miguel, so I don’t think it’s a stretch that if he came in being told Miguel would work with him and then got rejected, after he read the situation more carefully and realised Miguel wasn’t truly the leader or not the leader yet, he might have a reason to make the moves and get what it was he wanted (Miguel), while also taking some glee in arranging the situation, trying to change Miguel’s mind, etc.
Separately, there is the fact that directly before the laundry room scene, there is an interaction between Torquemada and Miguel where the former talks shop with Pancamo with Miguel in hearing distance and later comes over to quip about how easy the expansion of Destiny is. I feel like this scene could support several readings and still fit into any of what I said above; if Chico is El Norte’s leader, then perhaps Torquemada is simply using the moment to interact with Miguel; maybe it goes back to the possibility that Miguel is leader of El Norte in name at this point; maybe Torquemada would prefer Miguel to be leader and is reminding him how easy it would be to be in business with him, that is, planting that idea before he goes on to guarantee Chico is incapacitated.
Re: theory that Gays work with the Latinos: Another headcanon I’ve had that I’ve scattered in all corners of my blog, but basically, I believe this to be the case beginning with Morales’s leadership. We see the Gays helping the Sicilians when it comes to killing Nappa, and we also see background shots of Tony and another unnamed gay from Season 1 braiding the Homeboys’ hair (Jefferson Keane and Poet, anyhow). We can reason that the Gays likely sell out various services in order to protect themselves as well as for a form of additional income. Given the fact that there is constant worldbuilding going on with the background actors that we don’t know about but inform what they do in the scenes (according to cast interviews), I think it’s no coincidence that over the course of season 4 into season 6, we often see El Norte and the Gays sitting at the same cafeteria table right next to each other or at neighboring tables in the unit. I believe that Morales, who is more neutrally business-minded, would have been more open to utilising the man power of the Gays than El Cid. The fact that they seem more aligned than the Gays with any other group suggests to me that they have some kind of longer term deal between them.
Some examples of interaction:
Tony & other gays (not pictured) sitting in on whatever discussion El Norte is having in this background moment of 4x13.
Tony passing Chico an unknown object through the bars of the Cage in 4x15
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Same lunch table... 4x10 & 5x04: We see Kiki and Tony (not in frame) sitting beside Jorge and Morales, respectively. In the season 5 moment, we also see Tony, Fiona, sitting with El Norte. The guy in gray between Fiona and Chico is probably another gay, as there is a brown haired man with a gray shirt seated with the gays in another scene in 5x04.
Tbh there are many more instances in s4-6 but these screencaps only ones I have on hand—my computer is being slow rn so I don't want to go scrubbing for more, but just trust me. I watch the lunch tables a lot lol...
( @heffer-wen I was going to write a reply but got lazy about breaking up this word vomit into parts, so… new post!)
(Also… yeah, ace is probably what I was thinking last night (lmao… “business minded” 🤣) I think I do see him as some shade of asexual when it comes down to it)
More thoughts on Torquemada (aka Here’s How We Could Have Had It All)
I feel like I recall seeing some interview at one point where Fontana admitted that he didn’t have much of Oz thought out beyond s1 and a bit of s2, and for sure the later seasons get wacky but there’s still Something there with most of the little bits that end up in the show, imo. It’s mostly the execution that leaves something to be desired, like Fontana and the other writers (I'm not sure to what degree who writes what) didn't really have time to think out the story beats of the seasons or else didn't have time to come up with something better/do some editing. I said a while back (idr where/what post tho), but I think if Alonzo had been brought in earlier, a lot of the same s6 plotlines could have still been achieved while giving us more time to know him and make his appearance worthwhile. Like, first couple episodes after he’s introduced could’ve just been those in-betweener scenes where we see him settling into Oz and putting out feelers:
Interacting with the other Gays (more screen time for them at last??) and getting the lowdown on Oz; I have my other headcanon (based on the crowd scenes) that the Gays sometimes help the Latinos move tits, so maybe…
This would bring him toe to toe with Morales or at least have a chance to with him briefly while the former is on his way out; maybe Torquemada wants to bring his own expertise to the game and tries to talk business to Morales, who’s got other things on his mind and blows Alonzo off, or else puts Alonzo to task with finding out what’s going on with Redding, etc. I think Alonzo could handle himself here, as Redding is no threat at this point, but maybe the real question is whether or not he wants to try to conform and fit in under Morales’ control, which I think the answer would be no, meaning...
Seeing Alonzo ultimately decide to forge his own path to the top and take his sweet deal with Destiny to the Italians
Miguel’s + the other Latinos’ storylines could’ve been largely unchanged meanwhile. Obviously some shit from s6 would have to be sacrificed to accommodate expanding Torquemada's storyline but lbr, s6 had a lot of going-nowhere plotlines as well as storylines that couldve afforded to be much shorter, so there’s honestly plenty of fat to choose from when it comes to what to cut. And introducing Alonzo like this would’ve helped bring the Italians more into play in s6 (could've simultaneously explored a little bit of the post-Schibetta world of the Italians, or at least shown more fall out), as well as the gays. Canonically Alonzo comes in episode 7, and what I’m thinking is basically to bring him in on episode 3 or 4 (right after Said dies) (get rid of the ridiculous Idzik shit). With the 1 hour episodes, that would be plenty of time to start showing his rise to power. He could occasionally cross paths with other characters and get on their radar while creating small moments to plant the payoff of the canon e7 & e8.
I just feel like the pieces would fall into place in a much more satisfying way if we saw earlier on how Torquemada was quietly moving things in his own direction and being either underestimated or ignored due to characters being wrapped up in their own stories. He’d have been there the ~whole times~ and the show could’ve ended with his move to the top feeling more earned, with a little bit more of his potential as a kingpin explored and hinted at with the season finale. Again, it would also have been a good opportunity to explore the Gays in Oz and see how they fit in. Like I mentioned in my tags of the other post, I do think Torquemada would throw some of them under the bus/not care what happens to them once he gets his lmao.
(A s7/new post-canon tale of a subsequent downfall for Alonzo might concern itself mostly with hubris; burnt bridges and capricious impulses might leave no one in his corner if he did lose his footing and start to stumble… I think also him being queer and not just a ~fucker of men~ like Adebisi would motivate his enemies to unite to take him down more so than if he were anybody else.)

lovely ali @fairydyke-mothr tagged me to post 5 things i can't stop writing <3 i am not much of a writer beyond fics aka half formed fic ideas so this list will be a lil messy. i have the most stuff for ted lasso and svu but ill focus on svu here LOL
1. toxic WASTE eo like love confessions buried in the nastiest arguments ever. im sorry i just love mess. similarly, someone saying i love you and being hit with like "no you dont. die" or "i wish i didnt" also eo as the soulmates who should never have met ive blown apart my life for you and eo from every outside view being the two most infuriating people ever (as explained by kathy stabler to barba, and amanda to liv and to elliot). eo who became a swirling black hole that took everyone with them. i think its easier for me to write eo from like other character povs bc i didnt originally watch the eo seasons so theres always an element of like. ghostly entity elliot stabler coloring my perception of him And i find their dynamic really hard to put into words in like. an interesting way. theyre just insane idk
2. the olivia bensonism of right where you left me and her constant fear of being left behind + her pushing people away + single most important person in my life and you just disappeared i have a few different "i cant do this" lines written and this last ep has obviously only made me worse
i also have elliot getting offered a transfer back to rome and in a moment of pure insanity telling liv he'll do whatever she asks him to. and because shes Her she tells him to leave and hes like okay ? and shes like i am obviously lying what is wrong with you.
a lot of sad liv internal monologues about how she misses elliot every moment that shes with him
3. the girls are fightiiing my list of conversations amanda and liv have never had and my ongoing list of out of pocket things liv has said or done to amanda <3 mess ! and a random fight about kim that leads to kissing lol
also a list of random thoughts about liv and amanda when i was first figuring out their dynamic like "real canon compliant rollivia means fighting and miscommunication"
4. amanda taking eo matters into her own hands. she talks to stabler. a lot. and she yells at liv for not making a move after she finds out about the intervention. more on this as it develops.
5. girl. grief and parental trauma ! the mother wound chile ! olivia bensons slight obsessive jealous homoerotic hatred of other women in non professional settings ! this became a note about how she separates everyone she meets into a kathy stabler or a serena benson and uses that to inform her feelings towards them
uhhhh if anyone wants more of any of these lmk?

The almost exact opposite of Amajiki and yet he just couldn't seem to stop himself from falling for you. Every day he always found himself stealing glances of you in class, occasionally the two would lock eyes. You'd smile that brilliantly bright smile of yours and make Amajikis stomach do back flips and his heart flutter, he would always turn away before any further contact could be made. On one particular day Nejire had asked you to sit with the big three at lunch, to which you happily agreed to. Amajiki almost had a melt down when Nejire had told him, to which Mirio patted him on the back giving him a "you got this dude!" a grin, and a thumbs up. It made the poor boy feel...slightly better but as you approached them in the cafeteria Amajiki tried his best to keep himself together. Why did you have to be so attractive? how dare you, it was unfair really. He just couldn't take his eyes off you, confidence radiated from your form. Mirio once told him that if he waited to long that someone would steal you, Nejire agreed. You were after all one of the most popular students at UA, not only was your quirk amazing and your fighting skills godly but your looks where beyond words, Amajiki was painfully aware of these facts. "Hi guys!" You grinned and Tamaki almost fainted. "Glad you could join us!" Nejire smiled as she took you by the wrist and dragged you to their lunch table, you couldn't help but giggle at her excitement as she asked you a bunch of questions about you and your quirk. Most of the quirk questions she asked she most likely already knew the answer to, you four being in the same class and all. Nejire took a seat next to Mirio, across from you and Amajiki. "Soooo Y/N...Do you have a crush on anybody?" Nejire asked suddenly, making you choke on the tea you where sipping on. "I-I uh-" You tried to avoid looking at Nejires grinning features, she already knew the answer to her question. Of course you did and it was none other then the boy you where sitting next to, you didn't answer her question, simply coughed and continued to sip on your drink. She sucked her teeth, unsatisfied with your answer, if you could even call it that. Mirios eyes wandered to Nejire then to Tamaki who was silently eating his food, his face was beet red at how close you and him were, your shoulders where brushing against each other. Then Mirio looked at you, whos cheeks were dusted with a light shade of pink as you tried to brush off the last conversation topic. He rolled his eyes and had to fight the urge to just blurt out that the two of you should date each other already. Soon the lunch bell rang and it was time to head back to class, Amajiki let out a soft sigh as the four of you started heading to your shared classroom, you and Nejire chatting about a show that she had starting watching recently. Mirio fell behind them a bit so he could walk beside Tamaki. "So, When are you gonna tell them?" He asked, knowing full well that it would take some sort of miracle to get Amajiki to confess to his crush of two years. The shorter gave a small shrug before slipping his hands into his pockets. "I-I don't know...Really i don't think i ever will. " He again let out a gentle, almost sad sigh "I dont think i'm good enough for them, they're so amazing." "Aw come on Tamaki! you're part of the big three!" Mirio gently nudged him with his elbow, to which Tamakjis eyes wandered to the opposite direction. "They think you're awesome" "Well yeah but they're right behind us on the list of top students" Amajiki informed him. It was true, you were almost part of the big three yourself but you ended up failing a test by 6 points and getting knocked to fourth. You didn't mind, you where pretty comfortable in your spot. "What're you guys talkin' about?" Nejire asked, walking backwards and looking at them with the same sweet smile she always had gracing her soft features. "How awesome Y/N is" Mirio patted Amajikis back, making him let out a soft hum. You tilted your head "Oh yeah? im honored." You smiled "You guys are way cooler then i am." Nejire giggled, Tamaki stiffened at her sudden question "So which of our quirks is your favorite, Y/N?" You hummed, tapping your chin for a moment. Tamaki expected you to say Nejires quirk seeing as you two have been friends since you both stepped into class 1-A in your 1st year at UA. "I think Amajikis quirk is the coolest" You smiled to him, Tamaki noticed and then you smiled it was as if your eyes where smiling to, his heart practically exploded, barely able to get out a 'thank you'. You giggled at his shyness, finding it adorable as always. Nejire couldn't help but giggle at the two of you, Mirios grin widened as he two watched you to. "Nice choice Y/N" Nejire smiled as she took you by the hand as you four made it to class, seeing as you and her sat next to each other she lead you to your seats, ready to take on the rest of your day you sat down as class began. As the end of the day rolled around you stretched as you made your way to the front of your dorm building. You had some homework to do as well as some studying, then you thought you could train a bit then- You had bumped into someone, not to hard it just startled you a bit as you where to deep in thought, planning out the rest of your day. You quickly bowed "I'm so sorry I wasn't paying atten-...Amajiki? what're you doing here?" You had bumped into Tamaki, not only that but he was standing in front of your dorm room. "O-Oh I uh- I-I" He stumbled harshly through his words, on top of that he was mumbling. You noticed a small piece of folded paper in his slightly trembling hands and smiled, just as you noticed it he stopped mumbling and actually spoke up a bit. "I-I just- I wanted t-to give this to you" he held out the slip of paper, avoiding eye contact with you at all costs. You gently took the paper from him but before you could get another word out he scurried down the hall and disappeared around the corner. You watched him leave, letting out a small chuckle before unlocking your door and walking in, closing the door behind you with your foot and gently setting your school bag down. The day before, after class Mirio had suggested to Amajiki that he should write you a letter if he couldn't just out right tell you. "Like...A love letter?" Tamaki tilted his head. He didn't know how he felt about that, his writing skills weren't bad he just dreaded having to wait for your response, not only that but even considering rejection as a factor made him wanna puke. "Don't worry, i'm like 90% sure that even if they do reject you they'll be nice about it" Mirio gave a thumbs up as he finally convinced Amajiki to start on the letter that could make or break him. It was a huge deal, you were his first ever crush and he never thought in a million years he would be confessing to you. "They're nice about everything" Tamaki mumbled as he continued to write his letter. Miro chuckled and nodded in agreement. "Exactly, you have nothing to worry about." Tamaki wondered why he was so confident about this, maybe Mirio knew you would turn him down? Thinking about that being a possibility created a pit of nervousness in his stomach. Really it was the opposite, Mirio knew you would say yes, he was just excited to finally see his favorite ship finally become a couple. Back to the present you took a seat on your bed before unfolding the note and beginning to read it. Your eyes where wide as saucers when you finished reading it, the final sentence replaying in your mind at least a hundred times "Will you go out with me?"Butterflies invaded your stomach and your cheeks flushed, you decided to give him your answer tomorrow, wanting it to sink in that the boy you've had a crush on since the dawn of time liked you back. Amajiki was dying in his room as he awaited your answer, Mirio who had come over to study with him was laughing his ass off at the boys struggle. The next day you where standing in front of Amajikis dorm room with both Mirio and Nejire at your side, they had their phones out ready to take pictures of this momentous occasion. You took a deep breath before gently knocking on his door three times, it took him a moment or two before he opened the door, he immanently stiffened as he locked eyes with you. Bracing himself for rejection he waited for it but all he heard were the words he had been wanting to hear for the past two years "I like you to Amajiki" Nejire squealed and clapped as Mirio laughed "finally oh my god" Mirio said crossing his arms. Amajiki stood frozen, having to register what just happened, after coming to the conclusion that the love of his life did indeed just agree to date him he felt a sudden rush of adrenaline and pulled you towards him by the wrist, placing his slightly quivering lips against your silky smooth ones. Nejire practically screamed as she took about a thousand pictures, Mirio looked away jokingly acting disgusted but he couldn't hold back his happiness for his friends, they found love and he was beyond proud of Amajiki for going through with his plan.   Your eyes where wide and your face was crimson by the time Amajiki pulled away. He started to apologize profusely as he realized what he just did, which resulted in you having to tell him it was fine over and over again. The two where walking together hand in hand as you made your way to class, as shy as he may be he still wanted everyone in the world and their mother know that you belonged to him now and nothing walking this Earth was going to change that.

Hiii!! I really love your tumblr posts and I'm pretty new to the Batfam (meaning I have only read fics and textposts about them, no comics) and I wanted to ask about the year Bruce/Batman gets "lost in time". I know general things of what the kids have been doing–Dick became batman and fired Tim from robin, giving it to Damian, everyone thinking Tim was crazy for believing Bruce was alive, (don't really know what Jason was up to though, was he still murderous towards Tim? Does the pit still affect him? Also I have no idea about Cass and Duke, were they introduced at this point??) Anyways, my real question was why was Bruce lost in time, what villain put him there? And how did he get out? And how long was he "dead"? Was Bruce in another reality or like just asleep the whole time? Oh! And how soon did this happen after Damian got introduced to the family–a couple months?
I'm so sorry this is so long, but I hope you answer and thank you!!
(I’m going to try and cover all my bases here by going into how exactly Bruce “died,” what went down during the Battle For the Cowl, what the Batkids did while Bruce was gone, and how Bruce came back. Hopefully it all makes sense?? We’ll see how it goes lmao.)
Part 1 - What Happened to Bruce:
So there was this event called Final Crisis (which I won’t go completely into since it would make this post a million times longer than it already is), but the bottom line is that Darkseid wants to overthrow reality and release his Anti-Life Equation, which would overthrow the whole planet and turn everyone into slaves. (If you’re interested in knowing more about the storyline, here’s a Reddit thread that explains it WAY better than I could.) 
What I CAN tell you is that during his final confrontation with Darkseid, Bruce is hit by an Omega Beam and turned into a burnt chicken nugget killed. Poor guy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Final Crisis #6
Clark and Diana bring the body back to the Batcave and break the news to the Batfamily. Batman #687 covers a good portion of the aftermath such as Bruce’s funeral, the Batfamily grieving, and Dick coming to terms with his new responsibility of becoming Batman.
Tumblr media
Batman #687
Part 2 - Battle For the Cowl: 
Musical chairs time, fellas! After word gets out that Batman is gone, Gotham erupts into chaos. Dick doesn’t want to take over the mantle, Tim needs Dick to take over the mantle, and Jason says “fuck it” and takes over the mantle himself because somebody around here has to. He becomes this murderous psychopathic Batman and starts taking out criminals with deadly force because someone’s gotta do the job, so it might as well be him.
Tumblr media
Batman: Battle For the Cowl #1
(Okay honestly, this series had some pretty bad characterization overall, which sucks since it’s such an important storyline. Jason is portrayed as this violent psychopath, which...okay, he was kind of insane after the Pit and all, but not to this degree. Personally, I choose to owe the bad characterization to Bruce’s death because as much as Jason resents Bruce for all he’s done, he does still love him and losing him would be devastating, which would exacerbate his already fragile mental health. As for Damian, this happens roughly three years after his first appearance, so we can assume it’s been a few months since he first joined the family. He’s still relatively new at this point, so nobody knows how to write him yet. He ends up being depicted as if his main two personality traits are Bratty and Assassin-Child and that’s it. It’s all just a mess.)
Anyway, Tim tells Dick to become Batman and stop Jason’s reign of terror. Dick says no, so Tim follows Jason’s lead by saying “fuck it” and putting on the cowl himself. He goes to confront Jason, which ends in Jason beating the crap out of him (again) and leaving him for dead after Tim declines his offer to become Jason’s Robin. Dick goes to save Tim and ends up fighting Jason. 
Tumblr media
Battle For the Cowl #3
Dick wins, Jason disappears, Tim is fine, and Dick finally gets his head out of his ass and becomes Batman. 
Part 3 - What Happens to Each Batkid While Bruce is “Dead”?:
Dick: 
As I said, Dick becomes the new Batman a month after Bruce’s death. He’s got big shoes to fill, and it takes some time for him to get used to his new role. He and Damian end up flipping around the classic Batman and Robin dynamic, with Batman now as the fun counterpart to Robin’s edginess. Dick, Damian, and Alfred relocate to the penthouse above the Wayne Foundation building, operating out of a secret Bat-Bunker in the basement.
Tumblr media
Batman #688
Jason: 
After Battle For the Cowl, Jason is still batshit insane and determined to make Dick’s already stressful life even harder by becoming a supervillain with an ugly costume and an even uglier hairstyle. (I know it’s just because the artist sucked, but still. Jason is horrifying to look at during this time.) He mostly just gets on Dick’s nerves by running around Gotham with his new sidekick Scarlet and killing criminals as Batman and Robin wannabes. Eventually, Dick has Jason committed to Arkham Asylum and he hangs out there until Bruce returns.
Tumblr media
Batman and Robin (2009) #5
Tim: 
Tim...doesn’t do great after Bruce’s death, mentally. Dick makes Damian Robin, his reasoning being that Robin is more of a sidekick and he sees Tim as his equal. By making Damian Robin, Dick hopes that it will give him the stability he needs to keep him from straying back toward the “bad” side. (It’s the right move ultimately, although his execution was pretty messed up since he didn’t discuss it with Tim beforehand, but he’s allowed to make mistakes. Dick’s father just died and now he’s in charge of picking up the pieces of their broken family. It’s a lot to handle.) 
Long story short, Tim has a breakdown, realizes that Bruce is alive, dons the Red Robin identity, and cuts ties with his family to travel the world in search of proof. It’s a rough time. 
Tumblr media
Red Robin #1
Damian: 
Our little guy becomes Robin! So proud of him! As I explained earlier, Dick makes Damian his Robin with the assumption that it will keep him out of trouble, and he’s right on that account. He mentors Damian, teaching him how to channel his violent instincts into something productive, and it works! Slowly but surely, Damian makes the transition from bratty assassin to actual hero!
Tumblr media
Batman and Robin (2009) #22
Cass:
Duke sadly was not introduced at this point in time, so he missed out on all the pandemonium. Cass, however, has been Batgirl for years by now, but she got kind of pushed aside by the writers after Bruce’s death. Bruce disappears shortly after adopting Cass, but once he was “dead,” the writers sort of moved Cass around for a while, not quite knowing what to do with her. First she was with the Outsiders. Then they got disbanded and Cass tried forming a new network of heroes to take over for Batman if needed. Then she helped out in said network during Battle for the Cowl, taking care of a newly ravaged Gotham. Then Cass gave the Batgirl mantle to Stephanie Brown after she became disillusioned with the role, thanks to the loss of her father and mentor. Then Cass picked up and moved to Hong Kong to “follow Bruce’s plans” by continuing whatever work he had set up for her there. It was all very vague and confusing, and Cass more or less got swept under the rug during this time. Thanks, writers.
Tumblr media
Batgirl (2009) #1
Part 4 - How Bruce Came Back: 
When the Blackest Night storyline happens, the Justice League realizes that the corpse buried under Bruce’s grave is apparently not the real one and that he’s actually alive out there somewhere! How wild is that! This is further proven by Dick after he places Bruce’s body in a Lazarus Pit to revive, which has the same result because it’s very clearly Not Bruce and they should have listened to Tim from the start.
Tumblr media
Batman and Robin (2009) #9
Anyway, what actually happened is that the Omega Beams that Darkseid shot at Bruce didn’t kill him, but rather blasted him back through time to the prehistoric era with his memories wiped. The Omega Energy inside of Bruce ends up catapulting him through various time periods, which is all part of Darkseid’s plan. With each time-hop, Bruce builds up more Omega Energy in his body which, when he gets back to his original time period, will be unleashed and destroy everything.
Tumblr media
Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #5
It’s been a little under two years since Final Crisis, though in-universe it’s uncertain exactly how long Bruce has been “dead.” We can assume it’s been a year, give or take. The way he comes back is too scientific and complicated for me to understand, so uhhhh the bottom line is that Tim and a few Leaguers save Bruce at the Vanishing Point and the day is saved! Hooray! 
Tumblr media
Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #6
(If you want to read about how it actually goes down, then I seriously recommend reading Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne. It’s only six issues, so it’s a quick read and it explains the situation far better than I ever could.)
Bruce eventually reunites with his family after spying on them for a period of time as Insider to see what has changed in his absence:
Tumblr media
Bruce Wayne: The Road Home
After that, things quickly settle back into their new normal. Dick and Damian stay on as Batman and Robin. Bruce goes back to being Batman as well, with him handling Batman Incorporated business and Dick continuing as Gotham’s defender. Tim keeps the Red Robin outfit, Steph stays on as Batgirl, and Cass becomes Black Bat. Jason stays in Arkham for a while before filing an appeal to be moved to a regular prison. He kills 82 inmates in less than a week and gets transferred back to Arkham, which he promptly escapes from. It’s a ride, I tell ya.
Aaaaand that’s about it! I hope this answered all of your questions!

Dream SMP Underrated Memories/Moments
Everyone’s always talking about the wars, but I wanted to just gather a list of some of my favorite lesser-appreciated moments that aren’t remembered as much! I’ve been thinking about this list for a while and thought this might be a nice time to post it, seeing as it’s really the start of something new :’)
Just some of my fond memories from the past several months
---
- Shortly after the first revolution, Tubbo announces that he has finally seen Hamilton and understands all the references. He, Tommy and Wilbur then spend like 15 minutes arguing which characters they are. Wilbur explains that Tubbo most resembles John Laurens, and everyone’s like “oh cool” until they remember that that would mean that Tubbo has a tragic death in the future. Tommy says, “Let’s not foreshadow the next WAR, GUYS!” in a joking manner. Haha, very funny Tommy.
- Dream and his parrot. The parrot dies, Dream instantly ends stream, then starts it again and builds a memorial, heartbroken. Rest in peace.
- Sapnap borrowing Spirit only to instantly lose the horse to a creeper explosion, THEN accidentally crafting some leather into an item frame that was meant to hold Spirit’s leather. No wonder Dream no longer keeps pets.
- Theropay and premium bonds
- The original L’manberg war being pushed back a day for Dream’s serious stream, and Tommy reacting to it live in the most hilarious way possible. 
“No, George and I are not dating--” - Dream
“--NOOOOOOOOOOO” - Tommy, immediately
- In the days leading up to the L’manberg war, Tommy builds a fight club underneath the embassy but gets distracted with speaking Dutch to Fundy, eventually leading to him wandering around the Prime Path putting signs down that say “The green bastard shall die!” in different languages, as propaganda to Dream’s viewers who may be able to speak those other languages
- Wilbur asking Dream out on a date with Tommy as his wingman (before he joined the SMP? I think? Not sure), leading to the most infamous conspiracy/plot that would go on to stretch all the way to the ELECTION. New fans...you have no idea how lucky you are to have missed the torture.
- Wilbur and especially JSchlatt joining the SMP in general. Tommy being in awe of his SMPLive heroes. The SMPLive Cuck Shed is replicated in the Dream SMP. Wilbur logs off for what was going to be his last time in the community house, giving Tommy ownership of his ball house. Schlatt is kicked and banned.
- Tommy gives a surprisingly good performance of Macbeth and then Hamilton to Dream while held at gunpoint, winning over Dream’s favor with the power of music. Dream mentions Heathers in game chat, but Tommy doesn’t know what that is. Is there a word that means “unintentional foreshadowing?”
- Tommy and Wilbur construct a park composed of alleyways and drug pits to attract drug dealers and women, instead attracting a mysterious Dream. They challenge Dream to a trivia contest and he loses to Wilbur, then jumps off a cliff in despair. We should’ve known trivia was his greatest weakness. Again, is there a word that means “unintentional foreshadowing??” 
- Tommy is ecstatic at Jack Manifold being whitelisted after the L’manberg war, only for Dream to try and get Jack to join the Dream SMP side instead through bribery and secret-code-filled books...and it kinda worked?
- Fundy gathers obsidian for the new Manberg flag, leading to the hilarious sequence of him desperately trying to google common English phrases that Schlatt says, as he doesn’t know what they mean.
“I’ve taken a few pages out of his book” - Schlatt
*Fundy googling “take a page out of his book meaning”* “Yeah”
“do you know what 'idioms’ are?” - Schlatt
*Fundy immediately googling what an idiom is* “uhhhh yeah yeah - yeah, of course”
- Niki joins the SMP after the L’manberg war. They take down the original Camarvan, and Wilbur performs the L’manberg anthem for the first time. 
- Tommy getting Quackity into a VC to try and intimidate Skeppy (he fails) before asking Dream to whitelist him. Dream promptly does.
- That one day that Quackity felt that Tommy was giving more attention to his new pet Henry than to the cartel, so Quackity kidnaps Henry and forces Tommy to play a cruel Saw-like trivia game to bargain for Henry’s life. Tubbo betrays Tommy and cheers on Quackity for the entertainment. It ends in bloodshed, but thankfully Henry is safe... Yeah, we all just kinda forgot about that day, huh?
- Tommy and Tubbo building the nuclear war bunker
- The birth of Big Law at Fundy’s trial over the mysterious disappearance of Beenis. “Be careful, I’m a lawyer!” 
“What do you do for a living, Tubbo?”
(After proclaiming that he’s a lawyer for 30 minutes) “I paint...sofas”
- Karl joining the SMP, creating a new ugly beautiful Minecraft skin...and putting it on backwards
- Purpled starting his stream right before Eret betrays L’manberg in the war, having no clue of what’s going on. He occasionally joins the VC to hear things without context, and stumbles upon where people are gathered, only to be baffled at what’s happening.
- That early on stream where George texts Dream’s mother that he’s Dream’s boyfriend, and she replies. He and the other SMP members spend an hour going back and forth on how to respond.
- The entire Church Prime stream. Honestly the funniest stream I’ve ever seen, no doubt. I was literally crying tears of laughter at times while simultaneously on edge worrying about them getting cancelled.
- The original Deal or No Deal stream where Tubbo won his Happy Meals
- The hunt for Taco Bell
- Drista. Enough said.
- Fundy joining L’manberg, and Tommy accusing him of plagiarizing the L’manberg outfits due to his crayon suit, only for Wilbur to explain that Fundy is his son. Tommy is, as expected, quite confused.
- Dream giving Fundy and Tommy hundreds of dollars in gifts in the most intimidating and nerve-wracking way possible, holding them at gunpoint.
- Purpled’s fall trap at the Socializing Club causing multiple people, including Dream, Fundy and Tommy to all fall down and die, causing their items to get mixed together, leading to arguments and drama.
- Tubbo’s Stress Relievers
- Tommy and Tubbo, during the Pet War, going up Punz’s tower to defend Fundy. They aren’t in VC, and start saying identical things in chat in Perfect Grammar while in full netherite, ominously looking slowly back and forth at each other, looking like evil twins straight out of a horror movie.

I Love You (Part Four) -- Aaron Hotchner
Written By: @desperately-bisexual
Request: None.
Warnings: Cursing. Descriptions of murder and kidnapping. All around mature content!
Pairing: Aaron Hotchner x Greenaway!Reader
Word Count: 5378
Timeline: Season 2 Episode 09. Right after part three.
A/N: uhhhh... sooooo... this was *supposed* to be the last part for this storyline... but, uh... if I would’ve posted it as one part, it would have been well over 10,000 words... so.. :) Part five is coming.
Tumblr media
It was as though nothing had happened in the car ride over as Hotch and I got out and hurried into the St. Louis police precinct that had requested our help on these two cases. Inside, we were greeted by a large lobby made of sandstone colored marble. On either side of the entrance, the two walls were lined with seats for visitors. Nearly half way into the lobby, there were two columns protruding from the wall, and between them was a security checkpoint. They had metal detectors run by two officers. One sat at a desk, the other stood at the detectors for extra monitoring or for pat downs, if necessary.
As we approached the checkpoint, the officer sitting at the desk asked for our identifications. Both Hotch and I pulled out our FBI ID cards and flashed them in front of the man. The officer’s demeanor changed in an instant after he realized who we were. He fixed his posture and forced a smile onto his face before telling us that we were free to enter with our weapons, then turned to the other officer to order him to let us through without any hassle. At the kindness of the officers, we thanked them while putting our badges away.
The metal detectors sounded their alarms as we passed through. Everyone standing in the lobby turned to look at us after the sirens made them jump. Hotch and I didn’t look to them to apologize or to explain what was going on. We just kept walking with the intention of getting what we needed for the investigation before heading back out into the field. Hotch had built this plan in his head that we were going to meet with the lead detective to gather information from him, then we would go to ask Mr. Carroll some questions about his wife’s disappearance. I just so happened to be along for the ride.
Up ahead, there was a man watching us pass through security. He had a badge on his hip and a classified file in his hands. He certainly looked like the guy we needed to speak with, so Hotch approached.
“Agent Hotchner, I take it,” the man said.
Hotch shook the man’s hand, “Correct.”
“Pleasure to meet you. I’m Detective Sheridan. I’m in charge of both of these cases.”
“Thank you for reaching out to us, detective. This is my partner, Agent Greenaway. We’re going to be handling the Mill Creek Killer case. We were hoping to look through some of the evidence your team has collected before we go to talk with Mr. Carroll.”
“Sure thing. Follow me.”
Detective Sheridan led the way into the main office. The precinct was crowded and busy as officers hurried around and civilians tried to navigate their way around to see the officer they were told to meet with. Sheridan, however, moved around with expertise and ease. He knew his way between each of the desks and could guess where people would be walking and when so as to avoid any collision.
“Where is the rest of our team?” I asked. “We were supposed to meet them here.”
“They already left,” Sheridan explained.
“They already left?” Hotch questioned for clarification.
The detective nodded. “Unfortunately, we don’t have much more than the single file we sent to your office when it comes to the Hollow Man case. They took our original copy of the case file and left without another word about where they were going or what they’re doing.”
“Certainly sounds like Gideon. Please tell me you have more for us than just a single file.”
“Oh, yeah,” he chuckled.
When we reached the back of the main office, we were standing outside of a glass walled boardroom that had the blinds drawn shut from the inside. The detective pulled a keyring from his pocket and sorted through the identical keys until he found the one he was looking for. After unlocking the door and opening it wide for us, Hotch and I stepped into the boardroom to find the walls covered with crime scene photos, leads, maps, connections, etc. Sitting in the middle of the room was a table covered with boxes of evidence, and stacked on top of them were papers upon papers.
“All this and you only had one file for the other case?” I whispered, only loud enough to Hotch to really hear.
“If you guys need to review any physical evidence from the crime scenes, you’re going to have to check it out from the evidence locker downstairs.”
Hotch nodded an acknowledgement. “Our associate, Dr. Reid, wanted to review the Hollow Man’s original letter.”
Sheridan had the answer prepared before Hotch could finish. “He’s already downstairs.”
“Good.” He turned to me quickly, “Y/N, grab what you think we’ll need to meet with Mr. Carroll and we’ll head out.” He turned back to Detective Sheridan, “Supposedly we’re going to have a car that we can drive around ourselves?”
“Right. I’ll get that sorted for you here. Just give me a moment.” Detective Sheridan patted the door frame before hurrying to his desk.
I approached the table and started sorting through everything. It seemed like someone had just dumped everything in one big pile and didn’t bother to put anything together the way it should have been. It just meant that Spencer would likely have to go through all of it while we were gone. I felt almost bad for him, but I knew that he would speed through it without breaking a sweat.
Hotch closed the boardroom door. “Find the files you want then go change.”
I looked up at him, “You aren’t serious.”
“Does it look like I’m joking?”
I rolled my eyes slightly and looked back down at the folders and loose papers scattered in front of me. “Fine.”
On our way to Tom and Ellen Carroll’s house in the suburbs, I looked over some of the files we decided to bring with us. Anything I found to be noteworthy was immediately relayed to Hotch as he drove. For the most part, we already knew most of what was in the files, especially concerning the disappearance of Ellen Carroll. We knew that Mr. Carroll was likely still trying to cope with the situation he was now finding himself trapped in, and we knew that could possibly mean that he wouldn’t be interested in speaking with us for too long, so we had to prepare our questions ahead of time and make sure that they were precise. Even if the local police had already asked him the questions we prepared, it was important for him to tell us everything he knew personally for a couple of reasons. One, he could have possibly remembered something more important after the fact. Two, his story could change and we might be able to catch him in a lie. Three, being able to hear his answers and watch him as he answered them would allow us to profile him and see if we could gain any more information about the case through his nonverbal responses.
Hotch wanted me to lead the questioning because he felt that a “female touch” would help us connect with him better. He would start by introducing us so as to set the nature of our dynamic, but I would proceed with the questions while he would try to silently build a profile for Mr. Carroll if we needed to.
As we parked on the curb in front of the Carrolls’ house, I took note of where we were in relation to the city. We were in a nice, gated community of large and expensive houses. The Carrolls’ house, specifically, stood out among the others as it was at the end of the road and therefore had the largest floor plan and backyard. The Carrolls must have been disgustingly rich to afford such a place.
But we weren’t the only ones parked in front of the house. Cars lined the curbs on both sides of the road, and they were all parked like they were trying to get as close to the Carrolls’ as possible, which proved that the cars were there for them and no one else.
“Normally, you wouldn’t just throw a party or gathering if your wife is still missing,” Hotch noted aloud. I agreed as we met up on the paved sidewalk and started walking towards the house. When we arrived at the front door, Hotch reached to the left and pressed on the doorbell. Not even a few seconds later, as if we were being expected, the door opened to reveal a disheveled man standing there while trying to press a faux smile onto his face. “Mr. Carroll? I’m S.S.A Hotchner and this is Agent Greenaway.” We showed our badges briefly. “We’re with the FBI. Do you mind if we ask you a few questions about your wife’s disappearance?”
The man nodded and opened the door further for us as a gesture that we were allowed to enter his home. Hotch and I bowed our heads slightly in response as we stepped inside. Mr. Carroll closed the door behind us.
“The police keep asking me questions… I figured that I’d be getting a visit from you guys soon,” he explained as he led us through his home. As we followed, we passed the parlor where a large family was gathered together. All wearing black except for Mr. Carroll.
“Mr. Carroll, could you run us through that day for us? We understand that the police have already gone through this with you a couple of times, but we want to get the information from you ourselves so that we can proceed properly.”
“I mean, everything was fairly normal about that day until Ellen was gone. We headed straight from here to the park with Katie at about 11AM. We were playing catch in the park for awhile until she said that she was going to start setting up the picnic lunch we had brought with us. That was the last time I saw her.”
“Did anything seem off about her?” I inquired. “Did she say anything odd? Perhaps she seemed distracted or nervous?”
Mr. Carroll shook his head vigorously, “No, no, no. I mean, we had just been talking about having another kid right before she left for the picnic bench. She seemed ecstatic about the idea and was happy that Katie was alright with it, too. But when she went missing, my first thought was maybe that she got spooked by the idea and needed a moment to herself to think about it. But when she didn’t come back, I knew that something was wrong.”
“You were talking about having another kid while you guys were playing catch at the park?” Hotch clarified.
“That’s right. Why?”
Hotch and I shared a look that meant we both knew what was going on, and then he made a silent gesture for me to explain. As the female looking part of the duo, the news was likely to be taken better if coming from me. At least that was how it always ended working out. “We believe that the man who took your wife is only going after women who seem successful with their careers and their families. It’s possible that the suspect heard you discussing having another child and decided based on that information that your wife was a perfect victim.”
“Did you notice anyone suspicious? He could have looked entirely harmless, but he would have been hanging out nearby for a little too long.”
“No. Nothing. It wasn’t on my mind to look for anyone out of the ordinary. I was just trying to focus on my family. I don’t understand how—”
Just then, as Mr. Carroll was about to ask a question that had been weighing heavily on his mind, the sound of small feet pattering down the staircase echoed above us. We turned to see Katie, the Carrolls’ daughter, coming downstairs with her teddy bear in hand. Mr. Carroll tried to smile again for his daughter as she ran and jumped into his arms. He groaned playfully as he picked her up.
“Well, who’s this?” I asked with a tone an octave higher than I normally used. That’s what you do with kids, right? Talk like you’re one of them so as to make them comfortable and think that you’re their friend. “Are you Katie?” The girl nodded before hiding her face in her father’s shoulder. “It’s nice to meet you, Katie. My name’s Y/N.” She stared at me out the corner of her eye while keeping his nose still tucked away. “This man and I are trying to find your mom for you. Can I ask you a few questions about her?” Katie nodded again. “Do you know what happened to her?” She shook her head. “When you guys were at the park yesterday, did you see anyone who looked funny or scary?” She shook her head again. “Do you remember where she went after she said she was going to set up your lunch?” Still no helpful answer.
Katie sat up straight now, though. Her dad turned slightly so that she could look straight at me without having to strain her neck. “When’s my mommy coming home?” she asked me.
My shoulders fell as my heart sank. I hadn’t expected that. I mean, I should have seen it coming, yet I didn’t. It was a valid question, of course, but I was falling short of giving any kind of answer that would suffice in the situation and for my target audience.
Mr. Carroll caught my hesitation and stepped in. As he put Katie back down on her feet, he looked down at her and told her to go play with her cousins in the next room. Katie didn’t think twice before running off as she was told. When he looked back up, Mr. Carroll’s face was red like he was about to cry. “What kind of monster would take away a mother from her child and growing family, Agent Greenaway?”
I swallowed hard to hide my hesitation again. “We’re going to find out, Mr. Carroll.” I looked back at Hotch, but he was staring at the open parlor where Katie was playing with her cousins as the rest of the guests in the room chatted. “What is it?” I whispered to him.
Hotch turned back to Mr. Carroll, “Who’s in the parlor?”
Mr. Carroll’s attention was drawn to that direction to see what caught Hotch’s eye before he answered. “After mine and Ellen’s families found out that she went missing, they all flew out here to help me with Katie as the investigation began.”
“Why are they all wearing black like they just went to a funeral, but not you?”
“The police keep telling me that it’s very likely that my wife is still alive and that I should hold out hope that she’ll come home safely. However, our families don’t seem to share the same hope as I do. They’ve been treating me like a widower since they arrived…” Mr. Carroll finally broke into tears after holding it back since we walked through the front door. He turned away to hide his emotions in shame.
Hotch nodded his head towards the front door, a gesture that it was time for us to take our leave silently. Before we could thank Mr. Carroll for his time, though, he left to be on his own and to make sure that Katie didn’t see him crying. In that case, Hotch and I headed back to the car.
As we stepped out into the fresh air and I closed the door behind us, I told Hotch what I had been thinking about ever since Mr. Carroll told us about the last conversation he had with his wife. I mention the fact that we know more about the Unsubs MO now. He only went after women who were clearly educated, successful, and had families to go home to. All of his victims match that description. And I brought up the fact that the Unsub wouldn’t have to stalk the victims for this information because he’s been grabbing them in public after hearing them talk about it or seeing them do it. That doesn’t require anything more than eavesdropping on private conversations for a few minutes.
Hotch asked how the Unsub could get close enough to the victims beforehand to be sure— like he surely did with Ellen Carroll.
“He blends in somehow. Maybe he brings a dog to the park, throws the toy a little too close to the Carrolls and has to walk over in order to retrieve it.”
“Or he just somehow looks welcoming.”
Regardless, we knew that couples only really discussed having more kids if they both had supporting jobs and a sufficient home to raise a family in— not a starter one like younger couples would have. They needed to have been entirely committed to the idea of expanding their family, and they would only do that if both Mr. and Mrs. Carroll had well paying jobs.
So the Unsub knew that the victim and her family were wealthy and successful, hence he knew that she was well educated. He would have also seen Ellen playing with Katie in the park, making it clear that she had a family to go home to. She made a perfect target and the Unsub likely didn’t even have to watch her for more than an hour. I was sure that once he most likely heard them discussing the prospect of having another child, he knew that he was going to kill Ellen Carroll.
Hotch opened his car door, but he didn’t get in yet. He looked at me over the roof of the car. “If what you’re saying about him not having to stalk them is true, then the Unsub could attack at any time.” I nodded. “So we’re racing against the clock now.”
We both slid into the car simultaneously and Hotch didn’t hesitate to start the car and maneuver us out of the narrow street. Until we could get out of the neighborhood, Hotch had to drive slowly and carefully; but once we would get onto the highway, we could start racing back to the office. It was only a matter how long it would take to navigate the maze of the neighborhood we were in.
I was looking back down at the case files we had brought with us, but my mind was elsewhere. The pain in Mr. Carroll’s voice when reflecting about his wife and the plans they were making for their future together continued to ring in my ears. And the way he broke down in the end was an image I couldn’t shake for the oddest reason. It made me think about Hotch and Jack. I wondered to myself how I would handle Mr. Carroll’s situation if I were in his shoes. What would I tell Jack? How would I tell Jack? How long would I hold onto hope for?
And for it to all come crashing down after him and Mrs. Carroll were excited about taking the next step in their lives… I couldn’t imagine.
“Are you alright?” Hotch spoke up.
I lifted my gaze up from the file in my lap and looked at him. “I’m just thinking.”
“About?”
“Have you ever thought about having another kid?” I realized afterwards how I said it and what it insinuated. My voice had fluctuated in the wrong place, an audible sign that I meant something more behind my words. Not meaning to put him in an awkward position where he might feel like I was cornering him, I decided to clarify. “I mean, in general. With anyone. I just feel like it would be really hard in our line of wor—”
“I don’t want to talk about this, Y/N.”
I took a moment to pause and watch him. He was genuinely mad at me for bringing it up. “I’m sorry—”
“We need to stay focused on this case.”
I relaxed into the back of my seat as though I were trying to blend in with the rest of the car. I fucked up. I knew it. I crossed some kind of line, some kind of boundary that I hadn’t foreseen, and it got under his skin. In a whispered tone, I said that I was sorry again before turning to the window to watch as we passed the last few houses in the neighborhood.
Just then, as if saved by the bell, my phone started ringing. I eagerly dug it out of my purse, hoping for some good news or some kind of distraction from the tension building between me and Hotch. One quick glance at the Caller ID and I answered the call by name.
“What’s up, JJ?”
“We just got a call down here at the precinct. They found Ellen Carroll’s body.”
My eyes slowly fell shut as I tried to process the news. That little girl we just saw and promised to help just lost her mother. “Send me the address.”
“That’s the thing, Y/N/N, she was found in the middle of the woods, just like all of the previous victims. I can send you the coordinates, though. You can drive up there and meet us at the crime scene.”
“Alright, thanks, JJ.” She hung up first, so I turned my phone off and stowed it away. “We’ve got a problem.” Hotch raised a brow while still watching the road. “They just found Ellen Carroll’s body. JJ’s sending us the coordinates.”
“Shit,” Hotch sighed, defeated.
My phone buzzed again, this time with a text from JJ, giving us the coordinates to where the body was found. I opened up the map that was tucked away in the glove compartment and marked the location. Hotch peeked over for a short moment to get an idea of where he was going before making a right hand turn onto the main street.
A park ranger was waiting at the head of the trail for us as we got out of the car. The trail parking lot was full with marked and undercover cop cars. Hotch didn’t care, though. He drove straight into the middle of the lot and just decided to park there. The ranger watched us with a look that told me he didn’t much care for suits— and I couldn’t blame him. Rangers were underappreciated and we always had a tendency to step on their toes. They didn’t like us and we didn’t really pay any mind to them. But this guy made sure we knew that he didn’t like us.
Hotch and I hardly stopped as we approached the trail. The park ranger turned before we could introduce ourselves, and he started leading us to where the body was found. About ten minutes down the main path was when we deviated from it. The ranger held an overgrown thornbush back aws Hotch and I stepped into the woods with him.
Another ten minutes deep into the woods and we reached a clearing which was crowded with police officers and coroners. JJ and Spencer were already standing around the body, watching the local coroner as she took pictures of any marks on the skin.
As we stepped into the clearing, JJ noticed us and came to explain everything to Hotch. Meanwhile, I walked past to take a look at the body myself. Mrs. Carroll’s body laid in the epicenter of the clearing, every part of her but her face covered by a mountain of leaves. While I crouched down beside the body, I requested a pair of medical gloves from the coroner. She turned to the bag to her left and pulled out two blue rubber gloves for me. She then began to explain her findings and I put on the gloves.
There was a newbie on the force, apparently, and he was the first on the scene. She explained to me that the newbie didn’t follow protocol and started to investigate the body himself. He uncovered the body and took note of the bruises on her body before Detective Sheridan showed up and stopped him. The way I was seeing Mrs. Carroll now was a recreation of how the newbie remembered finding her. Meaning, it wouldn’t actually be identical. Meaning,  any actual positioning of the body that the Mill Creek Killer originally intended was gone, and with it left our potential profile.
I then politely asked if she had a cotton swab. When she asked why, I didn’t respond. I was too caught up in hypothesising about what I had discovered. Once I had the swab, I gently dragged it along Mrs. Carroll’s cold lips to find that wet lipstick stuck to the cotton.
“Hotch!” I called. He excused himself from speaking with JJ, Spencer, and Detective Sheridan. When I had his attention, I looked up at him and showed him what was in my hand. “The lipstick is fresh.”
Hotch looked at the rest of the scene that the Mill Creek Killer set up for us. His eyes were searching in no particular direction, which told me that he was thinking long and hard about what kind of profile we could build off of this. “He covered the body to keep her safe from the elements. She won’t decay as quickly when she’s like this. Why?”
“To come back,” I answered, twisting the swab between my fingers. “Think about it, this guy goes to all this trouble to take a woman in broad daylight and in a public setting, then drags her into the woods to kill her. Yet, she’s laying here like Snow White. Her hair is brushed back, she’s wearing fresh lipstick, and her eyes are still open. He wants to—”
“He wants to spend time alone with her.”
“Detective Sheridan,” I called again. All three of them: JJ, Spencer, and Sheridan came back over to listen. “When you’ve found the other bodies, were they presented like this? Why wasn’t it in any of the files?”
He shook his head, “Because we didn’t know. Every time we’ve found another body, it has already decomposed, for the most part. I don’t understand why it matters. We already knew that the guy is a creep. What’s so special about making the body look nice?”
Spencer stepped forward with the answer, “Because it means that he has a ritual. Every time he kills, he has to defile the bodies or else the whole act feels useless. If he were to just kill these women then dump their bodies somewhere, the itch he feels for murder wouldn’t gain any relief. By preparing the bodies in a way that’s visually appealing to him, he has completed the act entirely and he can feel at peace for a short while before the urge to kill returns.”
“That’s how we’re going to catch him,” I said. I peeled off one of my gloves and reached out for Hotch’s help standing up. “I have a profile for him.” Hotch took my bare hand and pulled me up.
“Already?” JJ questioned.
I nodded and peeled off my other glove. “Detective Sheridan, if you could have all your men gather at the precinct as soon as possible, we’d like to present our suspect’s profile to them.”
He shrugged and nodded, not entirely sure why he was calling everyone together, but knew that he had to do it regardless. Our team moved out of the forest together as the coroner and her team bagged the body for further examination back at their office. Spencer and I led the way, exchanging what information we had.
Before leaving the precinct for the Carroll crime scene, Spencer had been busy working on the Hollow Man case, but he had determined enough to build a profile, too. Granted, the Hollow Man seemed to be easier to profile, despite the fact that they had far less evidence for that case compared to ours.
He then asked me how I figured out the rest of the Mill Creek Killer’s profile while examining Mrs. Carroll’s body. I explained to Spencer in the forest the exact same information that I later told the entire precinct when we arrived back in the city:
Starting from the beginning of his hunt, we began to dissect our Unsub’s behavior and what he would look like. Based on the patterns of how his victims went missing, we knew that he would appear entirely harmless. He could have perhaps been very attractive or been using a pet to give the appearance of innocence while in public.
All of the victims went with him willingly, which meant that he seemed trustworthy. Because he preyed on women who had families, he could also have been operating under the ruse that his child has gone missing and he needs help locating them. Based on outside source scientific research done about the perception of trustworthy people, we could assume that he was in his late twenties to early thirties.
He’d be handsome and extremely charismatic. He wouldn’t be a social outcast and he wouldn’t be in a relationship or job that he didn’t enjoy. It was appropriate to assume that he would have a job where he would get to speak to women a fair amount, which was how he would be comfortable enough to approach them in public and in broad daylight.
I explained to the room full of police officers and detectives as I had to Hotch earlier, that our Unsub didn’t need to hide and stalk his victims. He was quick thinking and would always choose then take them within a few hours of seeing them. He would wait rather than stalk because the thrill was more exciting. He enjoyed the champion feeling of being able to successfully take these women when it should be nearly impossible.
When one of the officers interrupted me to ask how I could possibly know any of this, I simplified profiling by telling him that you can tell a lot about a person just by how they would stand and how they would dress. Even more so if you could hear them speak and see how they act under pressure. Our Unsub knew this information about basic profiling. I had originally assumed that he was acting out just by watching his victims interact with their families, but upon further investigation and discussion with Mr. Carroll, I realized that he was being very particular with who he chose. He could have taken any other woman in that park that day, yet he took the one who was discussing having another kid soon. That meant that he was being very specific and careful with his victims.
His victims always matched the same description: women who were medium height, medium build, pretty by society’s standards, and had dark hair— but he wasn’t specific with either black or brown. Either worked for him. Just so long as it was never blonde.
“Unfortunately, this means we can’t do anything but wait until he takes another victim,” Hotch clarified as he leaned against one of the desks in the back of the room. He had chosen to stay back and let me carry out the profile, and he hadn’t said anything yet until just then. “Our best chance of catching him is to catch him with a body while he’s completing the ritual of displaying the victim.”
With our profile presentation concluded, Morgan and Gideon stepped forward to give theirs. After both profiles had been officially released to the precinct, the team was told to go to the hotel to rest by Hotch and Gideon. None of us argued. It had been a hell of a day and we all looked exhausted. Personally, I knew that I wanted nothing more than a nice warm shower and to finally lay down again. But that wasn’t how it usually worked out, was it. We always said we were going to head to bed, and then we would all be up all night still working on the case. That was just an unspoken part of the job, I supposed.

author interview tag game
thank you for the tag, @pandora15! <3
Name: caroline
Fandoms: mostly the clone wars, but i also have some marvel stuff, and waaay back in the day, i wrote some doctor who and merlin stuff!
Where you post: primarily on ao3! i mostly just write on tumblr when i’m accepting prompts from like...ask games or something.
Most Popular Oneshot: real
Most Popular Multichap: to these memories (this fic only recently hit 1k kudos, and my heart?? w h a t)
Favorite Story You’ve Written: def. to these memories because a) longest fic i’ve ever written, and b) oh, the hours i logged into writing this fic, and c) oh, the outlining that went into this fic...i’m very proud of myself for completing the fic, and of course, i credit this to everyone who showed their lovely support for the story. :’)
Fic You Were Nervous to Post: uhhh definitely too far just because it’s...rather personal. i sometimes say that there’ll be a scene or two or just straight up a line or two that’s plucked out of my real life, and i think it’s inevitable for writers of any kind, including fic writers, to isolate their real lives completely from whatever they’re writing, and?? this fic is probably the most personal for me because of that. i remember kinda hem-hawwing about posting it, because i was like whoa, maybe this is a little too personal? but then i steeled myself and was like, “okay, well, would this have lifted my spirits when i needed a story like this??” and then decided to post it.
How you choose your titles: i def. toss and turn between titles! there’s a few fics of mine that are straight-up song lyrics (no surprise there), but to my surprise (as i was looking through my catalogue of fics just now), i realize that a lot of my fics are usually just words or two about what i think might have been extremely important to the story. (or captures the overall tone/theme of the story, anyways.)
Do you outline? for multi-chapter fics and relatively long one-shots with lots of moving parts, i’ll outline. but for shorter one-shots and prompts, i’ll usually just stick with the image that compelled me to write the prompt/one-shot in the first place! (and then kinda write around that.)
Complete: uhhhhh, i’m gonna answer relatively for all my clone wars fics, because in total, i have 74 completed fics. (make that...75, hopefully in a few minutes or hours!) but out of clone wars fics, i have 46 completed fics! (and again, hopefully 47 in a little while.) a part of me is lowkey hoping that i’ll get up to 100 total fics by the end of this year. a part of me highly doubts it, but given how much i was able to write over summer break, i’m...intruiged if i wind up somehow writing another twenty or so fics by the end of this year. (asfsf my wip list is long enough to fill in for another twenty fics. caroline finish all your wips challenge.)
In Progress: okay, so officially, time, wondrous time is in progress and online. but in terms of the works in progress on my laptop...i have...*mutters, counting* fourteen official wips. (ten of them are one-shots, and the other four are longform fics. one of them, i’m hoping to release next week (!!!), and another, i’m hoping to release hopefully around mid-december. uhhh so fingers crossed??)
Coming Soon/Not Yet Started: oops, i guess i kinda already answered that question, but eh, might as well! the one coming out next week (hopefully!! caroline get your shit together challenge!!) is titled most ardently, and it’s an obitine au based off pride & prejudice because i cannot and will not shut up about obitine being the period drama ship out of star wars okay--
and then the other longform fic that is very overdue is called getting lost in a big galaxy, which is a fix-it of sorts taking place after season 5. anakin’s gone missing, and obi-wan winds up going on a galaxy-ride road trip with ahsoka (who, remember, has left the order) to find their idiot. this is honestly my excuse to just write more obi-wan and ahsoka content. hopefully, that’ll be posted in december!! (despite the fact i...originally meant to post it in august oOps.)
and then there’s this other longform fic which...might be coming in early 2021 called red, underlined, which is essentially...uh. everyone’s a stressed out law-school student, and anakin might have accidentally murdered professor palpatine, and now anakin, obi-wan, ahsoka, padme, and rex are all trying to find out what the hell to do with themselves because they’re all in on it. (def. influenced by how to get away with murder except without the criminal justice professor to lead them through the ropes. so more chaos. kind of a dark comedy vibe, if anything else? anakin no is major theme in this one. uh, i mean, maybe anakin was justified in murdering creep palpatine because our gang’s gonna find out what was going on in the background, but either way! lots of “holy shit are we good people are we bad people what are we doing”. lots of questions about morality! ethics! law school student study nights with anakin sprawled out on the floor and obi-wan wearing glasses (which he pushes up the bridge of his nose whenever he’s about to lecture anakin that no, that’s not how that statute works, dumbass) and ahsoka just bringing snacks and rex catching paper airplanes and padme being the one to supply everyone with very neat flashcards. this fic is gonna be an absolute beheamoth, and i’m estimating about 45 chapters? like...130K+ words? help? yeah idk either this really blew up in my head
and then...this stupid, wonderful, boring, amazing job, which is...office x tcw au. only not? it’s very, very loosely based off the office, but not really. obi-wan moves in as a new manager of a company, and we’ve got anakin being like “lol new guy i’m gonna mess with him”, and ahsoka being the one who’s both like “please don’t mess with our new boss” but also being like “actually, wait, lemme help”, rex being in hr and being like “i don’t get paid enough for this”. (also there’s some parts that are written like actual interviews like you would find in the office, so there’s this one bit where uhhh
Obi-Wan flicks his eyes to the cameras in silent question before turning back to Ahsoka. “Well, if you need to call maintenance, then I hardly think you need my permission—”
“Thanks!” Ahsoka says quickly, and she’s about to disappear from the doorway when Obi-Wan stands up.
“Wait, Ahsoka, what exactly—”
Ahsoka re-appears at the doorway. “Oh, right,” she says. “Um—maybe just stay away from the men’s bathroom for a little bit.” She pauses.
“Actually, just stay away from them for the rest of the day.” She hovers by the door for a minute longer, and then she adds quickly, “And maybe also avoid the breakroom. Everything’s fine!”
And with a perfectly not-fine smile, Ahsoka disappears from the doorway.
Obi-Wan stares at where Ahsoka was just a moment ago, and the he turns to the cameras in disbelief. “Did she just—” Unable to finish his own sentence, Obi-Wan starts out the door. “Ahsoka?”
The camera follows Obi-Wan out of the conference room and into the breakroom. There are only muffled shouts—Anakin’s shouts, and then Rex’s, and then Ahsoka’s frantic “no, sorry, everything’s fine!”, and then Obi-Wan’s loud, “What is going on in here?”
surprise y’all just got a snippet i’m sorry can you tell i’m weirdly into this au?? i need to rewrite some scenes but uh there you go
Prompts: for the most part, yes! i have some stuff in my faq about prompts that i’ll probably turn down (mostly anything that’s...above a certain rating/really, realy heavy themes that i just don’t think i can tackle with justice or with enough education on my end). i can be a little slow with prompts, but i’ll get to all of them in time!
Upcoming Work You’re Most Excited About: uhhhh i have too many that i’m excited about. literally i can write a mini essay on every single one of the fics i’m working on? but uhhh i guess since i already talked about all my major longform fics above (asdfasdfsd didn’t mean to do that, i’m so sorry for everyone who had to scroll past that word-vomit), i guess the one i’m most excited about releasing is the post season 7 obi-wan-and-ahsoka-finally-talk-about-how-they-miss-each-other-also-sorry-for-fighting-with-you-i-know-you-were-just-trying-your-best fic. (not a whole ton of spoilers for this one, but uh. i’m looking at some of these scenes and making frustrated sounds because there’s this one particular instance where i’m like, ahsoka. ahsoka just talk to him just ta lk to him but then lol no talking :)) also maybe some h/c? lowkey sickfic might be involved in this somehow? might have accidentally served as a precursor to to these memories? help? this fic just ballooned. caroline keep your ideas contained challenge!)

Umm... Hi! Have you ever had a problem with uploading two gifs (one next to the other) and keep reading? Like I'm freaking out because right now whenever I want to post something that has two gifs that stand one next to the other everything flows well via my phone but when I add the keep reading thingy one of them magically travels to the bottom of the post! And whenever I slide the gif back to its original position the keep reading section DISAPPEARS. Not to even mention the fact that FOR SOME REASON I can only put a gif only below or above another via computer!!! UGH. I'M DESPERATE! 😫😭
That sometimes happens on my android but never on my iphone.
Uhhhh try typing something random then put the two gifs together beneath it then the readmore and try to move everything like that
Idk lol tumblr is just broken

longpost: recap + further adventures of the Break Stuff Club
previously: Our Heroes took a two-month slog through a grueling Death Temple to secure the mythical Eternal Flame and enough loot with which to buy a bag of holding. The wizard Naxene Drathkala would combine the two to combine a safe, portable incubator for Simon’s egg in return for escort to the walled town of Goldenfields. Hananya was accosted by the urchins of Waterdeep for mysterious reasons; he’s told you can’t get away from Fletcher, whoever that is. Also, his mother Lady Baeonse’s latest effort to bring him back home has seen half the city plastered in posters bearing his likeness. This was funded by the Lady’s newest consort, John Zed (known by his initials, JZ). Mordok hasn’t heard from his lady, Silda, who last we knew was taking the criminal Iarno Albrecht to face trial in Neverwinter.
Ana convinced everyone to break into a graveyard so they could find some goths (hoping she’d be able to find other people who know about the Raven Queen, who has apparently been forgotten during Ana’s 500 year sleep). There was some trouble getting in-- when Simon and Ana were cornered and Simon’s (bad) bluff failed, he misty-stepped away. He also touched her boob. And caused several fires.
No worshipers of RQ in the graveyard! But there were goths.
The party heads to Goldenfields.  There’s a hole in the walls surrounding the town and its fields-- the result of a giant attack. They were driven off, but little has been done to repair the wall since. Here they meet exciting local color, including the dashing dragonborn bard Tony Raspberry Antoine Laframboise. Antoine, surprisingly, has been to the remote country of Zembla, where Simon and Julia are from.
This is the third of some very RP-heavy sessions-- the previous two fit all in the previous paragraphs, and I am skipping a LOT. So.
Our heroes wander and explore Goldenfields, combo town/abbey dedicated to the goddess Chauntea/massive agricultural complex. Mordok admires the stonework at the abbey and befriends two semi-feral black bears. The abbot is planning a picnic! We’re invited!
He tells Silda about this via sending stone... and shortly thereafter gets a reply: “Who’s this?” Julia, meanwhile, is hungover. She repairs to the public baths, where she meets the guard Zi. She’d been charming Zi the previous night; Zi’s frustrated with Goldenfield’s defenses, and especially with the hole in the wall. She tried to be direct with the abbot and the captain of the guard about her concern, but was brushed off. Julia suggests an innovative strategy to the forward and earnest Zi: passive aggression. During the picnic, they will conspicuously attempt to make repairs to the wall and they will do a bad job. Simon tries apologizing to Ana for being a rowdy boy. He wants to make it clear: he acts stupid or clownish sometimes, and there’s a reason for that, but it doesn’t excuse his behavior. When his siblings got involved in their bizarre murder-and-inheritance game, it was easier for him to either roll over and do as they said or just to act like a fool. They’d like him that way or at least they wouldn’t kill him. Apology accepted! Hananya meets other druids and devotees of Chauntea. He helps them get ready for the picnic by getting completely fucking blazed on pipeweed. While at the picnic, Antoine makes the rounds and romances everybody. With a hand-drum he accompanies Ana's bagpipe cover of a song originally performed by the founder of her remote village, Gingivitis Immolation Buffet. The song is Margaritaville.
Mordok gets staggeringly drunk. Hananya gets into arts and crafts. We learn that previously, he’d taken drawing lessons. He even drew the portrait they use on his wanted poster! Now he is using his talent to make bank on crop art TF commissions for various partygoers. Zi asks him what it’s like to turn into an animal. “It’s like pooping extra legs.” Antoine asks Julia: is Simon her boyfriend? No-- but he is her ex. That gives her some unique perspective for Tony’s next round of questions. What does he like to drink? Is he as skittish as he seems? How would you romance him?
Julia, Zi, and Mordok then go to the wall for repairs. Mordok is still drunk; he just heard there was stonework to do. They have to dissuade him from doing a good job. They move rocks around aimlessly. I stepped out to go to the bathroom at this point but someone I fully believe was the Monopoly Man yelled at them for ignoring the proper bureaucratic procedures. Julia is satisfied with this result! It means they have been seen to do a shitty job, they have been seen, and they have been seen to have been seen: the equivalent of putting a post-it on the wall reading FIX ME, PLEASE! :)
Antoine observes Simon at the picnic. He’s been riding around in the boughs of an awakened tree with a bunch of local kids, showing them card tricks. Antoine offers to help him down. I am so excited I fall out of my chair. Likewise, Simon falls out of the tree. Tony tells him more about his trip to Zembla! He had a lavish reception there, though people seemed disappointed when he didn’t (couldn’t) do magic. He’s even been to the court and seen the Dragon Prince. Simon chokes a little, but he confesses: he’s the Prince’s illegitimate son. Antoine shows Simon the painted miniature he keeps in his locket-- a human girl about 8 years old, his daughter Yvette. They have some very sweet moments and Antoine makes his move: can he visit Simon’s room later? uhhhh yeah
He also reveals that like Simon, he is a Harper (faction that’s like DSA Faerun but secret). He alludes to Mordok’s concern over Silda’s probable disappearance-- it’s a long, long way to Neverwinter, but there might be a quicker way there if we visit Everlund. He can’t say more, but (WINK WINK!) “the shortest way between two points is the glow of the moon.”
Hananya observes the arrival of a messenger, who visits with the innkeeper Miros. Miros leaves suddenly, in obvious distress. Hananya follows, finding him in tears at the inn. Miros’ parents have been killed in the giant attack on Nightstone (which we’d learned about previously). Hananya tries to offer what comfort he can by fixing him a cocktail, something he calls the Nasty Boy. The evening winds down in the inn. Ana performs the Cranberries on the pipes (yes, inside) in an attempt to silence Oren Yogilvy, local halfling entertainer, who she hates. Julia recites I’ve Been to a Wonderful Party. Mordok aggressively, woefully plays the spoons and Hananya invents a new and conceptual style of playing the flute. Simon reconvenes with Naxene, who has finished her modification of the bag of holding; it’ll hold the egg and very little else, but it now functions as a secure and portable incubator. Simon and Antoine meet for their Romantic Evening (”I would like to learn more songs in Zemblan-- such a beautiful language” “yes, it’s a graceful tongue :) :) :)”) when the alarm gongs on the walls begin to sound.

My Reaction to “Gotham” S4E4
Heck yeah, I’m on S4!
Also, four for you, Ben McKenzie (for writing this episode)!  Because this episode was super good!
AN:  I managed to record my reactions to this episode and hopefully I can transcribe what I said into this post. 
*Recap shows Barbara kissing Ra’s*  Nope!
*covers up screen with phone*  Nope!
“Perhaps you [Bruce] should consider what it [the knife] is before you drop two million dollars on it, shouldn’t you?”  *chuckles*
*Bruce leaves the knife at the museum overnight*  Oh this is such a bad idea…
Whoa!
Oh that camera angle though [as it goes from upside down to focus on Ed]!  That’s awesome!
“Tomorrow night, Oswald…”  Lemme guess… YOU DIE!
“…is the night you die.”  Called it.
I still think it’s a really bad idea that they left the knife THERE by itself with two people who probably have no idea about Ra’s al Ghul.
“Alex, bring me the Palmerian Codex.” The what the what Codex?
I know there’s an actual name for this knife but I forget what they called it, starts with a “B” or something
AN:  It’s formerly called the Balashi Blade, because it was originally intended to be an embalming knife
OK, so they do know about Ra’s al Ghul!
I feel like, if you take this whole Ra’s al Ghul thing out of context, or if you place this show in modern times, people would probably react to this like “Wait?  That sounds like some Da Vinci code shit.”
“He [Ra’s al Ghul] was a warlord.”  He was a warlord… who got caught up in some shit!
I’m sorry, I’m cussing so much in this.  It’s like you see something so much that you allow yourself to make fun it of it even though you enjoy it.  That’s it.
That… is a rather pathetic looking lion [in one of the display cases at the museum].  I mean, it’s been taxidermied, but it has a really small mane.  Either that’s a juvenile or he just did not have enough testosterone in his system at all.
*Someone knocks on the door to the office*  Please tell me it’s Ra’s al Ghul at the door.
He’s gonna be like “Hiiiii, I heard that someone was in possession of something I own.  Or rather not ‘I own’ but other people have owned, but it’s been passed down to me, so technically, it’s mine.  I own it.”
And the guy’s like “Uhhhh, no… we have plenty of knives here.  We just don’t have the one you’re looking for.  I’m so sorry sir.”
And Ra’s is like…. “Why you always lyin’…”
OK, I’m done.
IT IS HIM!
In this episode, if he does the whole “Bruce, be the Dark Knight the prophecy told you to be,” I’m gonna slap this laptop off this inn table.
Plus, this is quite possibly the best version of Ra’s al Ghul I’ve ever seen.  I mean, I still like Liam Neeson’s Ra’s al Ghul but Alexander Siddig is actually of Arabic descent.  And plus he’s just so charismatic!
“I’m [Ra’s] looking for a knife Bruce Wayne bought you [Dr. Winthrop] earlier today.”  Because I am obsessed!
*gasps when Ra’s stabs Dr. Winthrop*
Where’d the kid [Alex the grandson] go?
*jams out to the opening theme*
“Harper, where’s Bullock?”  “He asked me to fill him.  He took a sabbatical for a few days.”  Really?
Why does the actress that play Harper look really familiar?
They’re [Jim and Harper] just gonna let Bruce walk into an active crime scene investigaton?
“But I [Bruce] paid a great deal for it [the knife], and there was another bidder, a very aggressive one:  Barbara Kean.” Haha, Jim’s just like “God dammit…”
Another panning transition shot!  Take a shot!
God, Barbara, change your haaaaaiiirrrr!  Ugh, or let it grow out.  Please.
“If you [Barbara] had acquired the knife when I [Ra’s] first requested it, they wouldn’t be necessary.”  I thought you said it was OK that Bruce got it!
Whoa!
“His name is Anubis.”  Whaaat?
Whaaaaaatt?!? Did I step into an episode of “Hannibal?”  What’s going on?
There’s Riddler’s hat!
“You know, your [Sofia’s] father taught me [Oswald] many things. Among them was to nurture a healthy paranoia.”  Hooo….
“I’ll stab you.”  HAHA!
Wow, way to make a lady in Gotham feel welcome, Oswald!
*”White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane plays in Barbara’s place*  Ooohh, good song.  Good song!
“You [Barbara] seem different.”  Yeah, she took a rejuvenating bath in a certain famous neon green pit.
“Is it Ra’s al Ghul?”  Whoooooo!!
BRUCE WAYNE, WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!?
Oh that’s a cool shot of them [Jim and Bruce] just arguing in the alley!
“Ra's al Ghul is the real leader of the Court of Owls.  He is the one responsible for the virus and having me kidnapped.”  “And you [Bruce] didn't think to mention any of this before?”  *claps appreciatively*  Yes! Thank you, Jim!
“Why would he [Ra’s] want the knife?”  Plot.
*scoffs* He [Jim] just hanged up on Harper?!?
*jaw drops in shock as the rappers deliver Ed’s riddle to Oswald*
*cracks up when Victor starts jamming out to it*
“What the hell was that?”  HeheHAHA…
EDWARD SENT RAPPERS TO OSWALD!  Oh my God, that’s amazing!
*has to take a minute to laugh*
 “I [Oswald] want Victor to freeze him [Ed] again.”  “Huh?”  “Not you, the other Victor!”  *just about ends up crying laughing*
“Earth meets sky, water flows, birds fly.”  The pier!
“I [Oswald] want Ed Nygma.”  AGAIN! Because you’re Oswald Cobblepot in this show!
He’s [Alex] hiding in the records room in broad daylight?  With a bunch of windows?
*lets out a small gasp when we hear commotion outside the archive room*
Holy crap, Bruce has definitely grown!  Oh my gosh… how tall is he at this point?
*Anubis jumps Jim*  Whoa!
*Anubis’s handler starts speaking some ancient language.”  Great.
*gasps when Anubis manages to bite Alex’s wrist*
*Jim knocks over all the bookshelves on Anubis*  Ooooohhhhhh!!!
Where’s the knife hidden?
*Ra’s enters the precinct*  OH MY FREAKING GOD!
“Ra's al Ghul.  Minister of Antiquities attached to the consulate of Nanda Parbat.”  OH.  MY GOD!
“This is the guy that you're [Jim] looking at for murder?  Why does he just walk in?”  Why would you [Jim] openly discuss this with Harper right in front of the captain’s office, where Ra’s al Ghul is sitting, and Ra’s can probably read lips?
“I [Bruce] need to get you [Alex] to a hospital-”  “No, no.”  “Then the police.” DO NOT GO TO THE PRECINCT!  Ra’s is there!  
Hide!  Go to Wayne Manor or something!  Hide in the Batcave!
“You’re [Bruce]…weirdly cool.” Oh my gosh, that’s awesome.
Why would you [Jim] bring the evidence bag with you INTO THE CAPTAIN’S OFFICE?!?
I can’t believe Ra’s has the freaking balls to walk into the precinct himself and ask for assistance on looking for the knife.
Oh my God…
“May I [Ra’s] see the knife, Detective?  It would so set my mind at ease.”  *hisses in panic*
*gasps and sits back in shock when Alfred accidentally walks in on Jim interviewing Ra’s*
*Ra’s disappears*  WHERE THE CRAP DID HE GO?
*freezes when we can hear Victor shoot the remaining Falcone loyalists outside*
“My [Sofia’s] father wouldn't have killed those men.  He would have invited me to his club, as you did, but then gone further.  He would have invited me to dinners.  Had us seen in public.  Sent the message that the old order supports me.  And those men you killed would have pledged you loyalty.  Now they're fertilizer.”  Whoooo hoo hooo!  Whoo!
Oh my God, Sofia’s probably gonna wipe the floor with Oswald’s ass later this season.
*gasps when we hear commotion outside the museum exhibit where Bruce and Alex are*
*Anubis enters* Oh that mothereffer!
Who’s the due with him that has half his face painted?
“Harper.   If Mr. Pennyworth tries to leave, arrest him.”  Ooohhhh…
“At midnight I'll make this one easy/ This place makes some people lie/ Some people speak/ And some people cry.”  Speakeasy? A club?  Iceberg Lounge!
Yeah, it’s the Iceberg Lounge!  Yeah, and he’s [Oswald] crying there all the time.
“Can we please just torture them now?”  “WHY NOT?!?” Haha!
*gasps when Anubis tackles Bruce to the ground*
*Anubis and Jim fall through the sabertooth tiger skeleton case*  Oooohhh!  
Bruce, what are you doing?!?  Get Alex out of there!
*Alex beats Anubis off Bruce*  Alex, get out of there!  Where’s the knife?!?
*Jim accidentally distracts Anubis with a rib bone*  Oh my God.
*Jim throws the bone out the window*  OHHH my God.
*Jaw drops when Anubis leaps out after it*  Well he’s gone.
*Jim stabs the handler in the stomach with another rib bone*  Ooooohhhh!
Where’s Alex?!?
“Bruce, hand me [Jim] the knife.”  WHAT?!?!? NO!
“He [Ra’s] killed Alfred.  And then brought him back to life.  And Alex's grandfather was afraid of this knife.  I can't give it to him.” Bruuuccee!!
*yells in horror when Ra’s kills Alex*
God dang it… GUYYSSSSS!!
“This is all my fault.”  Bruce, this is not!
“Alex is dead because of me.  I killed him.”  Bruce….
“Your [Ed’s] riddles suck.”  HAHA!
“The answer was Stoker’s Cemetery.  Only an idiot wouldn’t see that.”  Nooo…
“Tell me, how long did it take you to come up with those riddles?” “I don’t know.  A minute?  Two minutes?  A few hours… six hours.”  What? 
OK, that’s terrible.
“Oswald, I’m [Ed] gonna shoot you.”  *In best Jerome impression*  In the face!
*Mr. Freeze walks in*  Oooooohhh!
“You remember him?  My other Victor?” The other Victor!
“Stop.  I changed my mind.”  Oh my freaking- OSWALD!
I am so sick of this!  They keep going back and forth on this whole Oswald and Ed weird friendship/relationship thingy!
*Jim grabs Sofia’s hand before she can touch him*  Hoooo….
Oh my God..
*Jim and Sofia end up kissing* OH my God…
Oh…Oh…
*Jim and Sofia end up making out on the couch*  OOHHHHH!!
Oh my gosh, why are they putting Ra’s in freaking Blackgate?
Oh my gosh, he [Ra’s] has the haircut!
*jams out to the ending theme*
