A Bumpy Ride -Oneshot
Word count: 2808
Part 2
Tumblr media
The mission was over, but the Quinjet had been badly damaged during the fight.
“Welp, looks like we’re taking the truck,” Sam announced, turning toward the off roading vehicle on the trail that was left behind by the bad guys.
“How the hell are we all supposed to fit in that?” Bucky asked, looking at the truck incredulously.
“Well, I won’t be in it,” Sam said, his wings opening up with a whoosh.  “So that frees up a spot.”
“Oh sure, but there’s still 5 of us, and that only seats like 4,” Y/N reasoned, crossing her arms in frustration.  “With my fat ass, Bucky being an absolute unit, Peter, Wanda, and Strange–”
“Oh honey, none of us need to ride,” Wanda said.  “We can all travel differently.”
Y/N rolled her eyes.  “Of course, I forget that I’m just so lucky to not be able to fly or teleport or swing places.”
“Neither can I, doll,” Bucky looked at her with a cocked eyebrow.
“Well, yeah, but you run super fast,” Y/N said, raising her eyebrows back at him.
“You want me to run down the mountain?” he frowned.
“No,” she groaned, rubbing her face harshly.  “Nevermind, let’s just go.  But you’re driving.  I will not be held responsible for crashing that tank.”
Bucky chuckled as they both bid farewell to the others that all took off in their special ways.  He helped her hop up into the raised truck, then had to help her get buckled with all the different straps and buckles.
“Jesus, where’s the manual for this thing?” Y/N huffed when she was finally buckled in, the straps stretched around her plushy body.  She could tell this was going to be a really bumpy ride, and quickly zipped up her tactical suit so her breasts wouldn’t spill out down the mountain.  She wasn’t a regular agent.  She’d been added as a back up to the Avengers’ missions because of her mutant powers of healing and energy absorption.  She was a living med bay, as well as a walking bomb when need be, but that was extremely rare.   She wasn’t as in shape or slender like other agents and superheroes.  At times it was confidence shaking, but usually she didn’t worry about it.  She wasn’t there to fight, just heal and take care of massive business.
“For real,” Bucky agreed at her comment as he strapped himself in.  “So fucking complicated.”  When he finished with a grunt she giggled and he glanced at her with a smirk before turning the truck on.  “Here we go.”
The ride was rough.  She was jiggling like crazy, her hands gripping the straps for dear life as the truck rolled over large rocks and down winding curves of a trail that was nearly nonexistent.  Bucky was maneuvering it well, but a new problem arose as they started down a path that had consistent bumps.  Her breath sounded jumpy as they hurtled down, and the tightness of her suit around her nether regions rode up in between her legs further.  The tight fabric rubbed against her clit, and she stiffened at the shot of pleasure that careened through her pussy.  Her jaw ticked, her eyes squinting as she tried not to visibly shudder at the feeling.
“You okay there, doll?” Bucky’s voice cut through the cabin.
Y/N glanced at him with a quick, unconvincing smile.  “Yep,” she said, way too chipper than she normally would before staring out the front window, desperately trying not to moan.
He just hummed, obviously not believing her.  Please, not in front of Bucky, she prayed to whatever god would listen, her cheeks blushing hard at the thought of cumming in front of him.  She’d had a huge crush on him for a while, but was unwilling to risk their friendship or working relationship by confessing feelings she wasn’t sure were reciprocated.  But the further down they went, the more Bucky had to tap on the brakes to slow them down the bumpy trail, the more she had to bite back the inevitable.  The pressure mounted as the fabric tightened over her clit even further.  It was getting painful, and that somehow made it more pleasurable.  Y/N was losing it.  It was happening, the zings of pleasure and desire making her pussy throb and her body tremble.  Her breathing picked up even further, crossing her ankles to try to relieve some pressure, but it only made it worse.  
“Are you sure?” Bucky interrupted, his voice sounding strained.  “Do we need to stop?”
Y/N was going to possibly take him up on the offer, but then they hit a particularly large bump in the road, the suit stretching just right on that bundle of nerves, and it tipped her over the edge.  She whimpered loudly as she came in her pants, her back going stiff and her head falling back against the seat.  Bucky gasped quietly next to her, his eyes flickering back and forth between her and the road.  It seemed to go on forever, prolonged by the never ending bumpy road.
When she finally calmed down they had found the main road, which was smooth as it careened down the last bit of the mountain.  The drive back home was still another hour, at least, and when she was able to breathe normally again she had the sudden, stomach lurching switch of pure pleasure to swift embarrassment.  She bit her lip as she tried to subtly right herself in her seat, the tactical suit now even more uncomfortable being lined with her cum.  She fought off tears the whole way home, grateful to Bucky for not saying anything, though she could feel his eyes on her periodically.
She had never been so happy to see the compound before.  Bucky pulled into the large garage, parking next to the elevator.  The second he cut off the engine Y/N’s fingers ripped at the straps and buckles, trying to free herself from the infernal truck so she could run away and hide from him.  She was mildly aware of Bucky unbuckling himself and getting out of the truck.  He opened her door a second later, reaching in and helping her get out.
“I’ve got it,” she huffed, trying to push his hands away.  She couldn’t stand to be near him right now.
“Y/N–”
She grunted as the last two straps held her firmly, her hands starting to shake as her emotions got the better of her, her eyes filling with tears and making it harder to see what she was doing.  Her breathing became heavier as she started to panic, wanting to be anywhere but here.  “Please just–”
“Doll!”  Her eyes snapped to him, her cheeks blushing madly once again.  Her tears spilled over as he gave her a pitiful look.  “It’s okay,” he said quietly.  “Just let me help you.”
Y/N stared at him for a moment before nodding reluctantly.  Bucky nodded back before reaching over her to help undo the last two belts.  It brought his face close to hers, and she sniffled quickly, looking up at the roof of the truck to avoid his eyes.  The pitiful look was rough enough, she didn’t want to see anymore pity or embarrassment coming from him.  When the last belt fell away he moved away, hands reached up to help her down from the truck.  She hesitated before letting him hold her by the hips to help her down from the near four foot drop to the ground.  She landed on wobbly legs, his hands staying on her for another moment before she pushed him away.
“Thank you,” she whispered, shrinking away and angling her body to make a break for it to the elevator.
“You’re welcome,” Bucky replied quietly.  “Listen–”
“Bye Buck,” she said loudly and ducked her head, making a beeline for the elevator, not sparing a look back, thankful to him again for not following her so she could have space.  She kept her composure until she reached her room, shutting the door and locking it behind herself before sinking down to her knees, letting out the big ugly cry she had been holding in.  How could she ever face him again?  Accidentally cumming in front of her crush because of a bumpy drive?  It was ridiculous to even fathom, and yet she’d lived it.  She dragged herself to the shower, stripping out of the tactical suit she swore she’d never wear again, throwing it in the wash on the way.  She let out her anguish even more in the shower, crying harder than she had in a long time.  I want the ground to swallow me whole.
***
The next few weeks were strange.  Everyone around Y/N could tell something was wrong, but she wouldn’t talk to anyone about it.  Every time she and Bucky were in the same room she would find an excuse to leave, unable to meet his eye or talk to him.  And whilst she was refusing to look at him, the Avengers around them found it amusing how much Bucky couldn’t stop staring at her.  
The minute they were in the same room together, Bucky would shift in his seat, his gaze settling on her alone, barely leaving her even if someone else talked to him.  It became a running joke to see how long either of them would last in the same room as the other before they ran away.  After three weeks of this mess Wanda lost her patience and marched into Y/N’s room after she had run away from the common room once again.
“Alright, enough of this,” she announced as she walked into Y/N’s room with no invitation.  “What happened on the drive back from the mission three weeks ago?”
Y/N’s eyes widened.  “Nothing,” she squeaked.
“Well something must have happened for you to run from the room whenever Bucky is around, and for him to literally eye fuck you when he sees you,” Wanda said, tilting her head and crossing her arms over her chest.  “I’m giving you a chance to tell me before I read your mind and find out for myself, because this is ridiculous.  Everyone can see something is wrong, and it's affecting the team dynamic.  So spill.”
Y/N hung her head in her hands, groaning loudly.  “Fine, just shut the door.”  Wanda quickly shut it then sat on Y/N’s bed, waiting for her to speak.  Y/N sighed and looked down at her lap.  “It was a bumpy ride down the mountain,” she began.  “I was wearing that tight tactical suit, and next thing I know it’s…riding up between my legs and…rubbing me,” she gestured to her lap.  Wanda’s eyes narrowed then widened in horror.  Y/N nodded and started to cry again.  “I fucking came right in front of him,” she said, hanging her head in her hands again.  “It was so embarrassing.  I tried so hard to stop it, but I couldn’t.  The look he gave me,” she paused, sniffing hard.  “God I could just die from the shame.”
Wanda sat in silence for a moment before she snorted a laugh.  Y/N looked at her with a hurt expression.  “Oh, honey, I’m not laughing at you,” Wanda said quickly.  “I’m just laughing at the situation.  That explains why he’s been eye fucking you.”
“He has not,” Y/N rolled her eyes.
“Yes he has,” Wanda raised her eyebrows at her.  “You didn’t see because you’ve been actively avoiding him since then.  I’ve seen, and heard, him.  His thoughts are loud and…quite colorful,” she said, her cheeks blushing madly.  “You do not need to be embarrassed.  If anything, him seeing that gave him the push to actually do something about his feelings for you.”
“He doesn’t have feelings for me,” Y/N retorted.  “He just saw me cum and now can’t see me without seeing that.  It’s awkward–”
“He wants to be the one to make you cum,” Wanda said.  She tapped her finger against her temple.  “I see and hear it all, honey.  Trust me.  Just talk to him.”  She reached over and gripped Y/N’s hand comfortingly before standing and leaving the room.  
Y/N watched her leave, her mouth agape in shock.  Bucky had feelings for her?  He was…eye fucking her?
***
The next time Y/N was in the conference room with everyone else for a pre-mission briefing, even though she wasn’t going on this one, she didn’t let herself shy away from anyone’s gaze, including Bucky’s.  She actually tried to catch him in the act of eye fucking her, still unsure about what Wanda had said.  When the briefing was beyond what she needed to pay attention to, her eyes settled on a corner of the room, her fingers fiddling with the necklace she was wearing.  She could feel his stare, and she slowly moved her eyes from the corner to him sitting across from her at the conference table.
Bucky was focused solely on her, his eyes flickering down her body then fixating on her fingers with the necklace.  Y/N slid her fingers across the chain, watching his eyes follow the movement with rapt attention.  He was frowning in deep concentration, his lips slightly parted, his breathing steady but heavy.  Y/N then brought the chain up to her lips, pulling the pendant up and grazing it over her lips slowly.  His eyelids fluttered at the change in movement, biting his lower lip and dragging it through his teeth before licking his lips.  Y/N tested one more time, licking her lips and slightly pursing them.  Bucky shifted in his seat, swallowing harshly.  He suddenly met her gaze and froze, realizing she was watching him.
“Dismissed,” Nick Fury called out, and everyone started rising from their chairs to leave the conference room. 
Y/N quickly scurried from the conference room, taking the stairs down to the personal rooms rather than the elevator.  She only made it two stairwells down when thundering footsteps rumbled behind her, then suddenly Bucky landed in front of her on the landing.  She gasped, looking up to where he’d jumped from.  
“Jesus, Bucky, you’re gonna kill yourself!  Or me!  Fuck,” she huffed, her hand over her heart.
He didn’t say anything, then pushed her against the opposite wall.  She gasped again as he caged her against it, then looked up at him.  His eyes were dark, a look of deep desire raging in them as his flesh hand cupped the side of her face.  “I can’t do this anymore,” he said, his voice coming out gravelly.  “Ever since I saw you cum I can’t think of anything else.”  His head dipped down to be eye level with her, and he nuzzled his nose along her cheek, his lips grazing over her skin.  “That was so…fucking hot, Y/N,” he groaned, kissing her cheek lightly.  “I know you were embarrassed, but you don’t need to be.”
Y/N’s hands were shaking at her sides as she gripped the bottom of her shirt.  Her eyelids fluttered at his movements on her face.  “You…you liked it?” she whispered.
“I fucking loved it,” Bucky grunted in her ear.  “All I can think about is you doing it again, but this time it’s because of me.”  He kissed down to her neck, licking at her throat and nipping at her jaw.  Y/N whimpered, her hands shooting out to fist into Bucky’s shirt and pull him closer.  “I want to see you grinding over my cock until you cum all over me.  You’re so pretty when you cum, baby.  Please let me see it again.”
“Is that all you want?” Y/N asked, her face moving to try and meet his lips.
Bucky shuddered at her tone.  “Well, I was hoping that maybe you could make yourself cum first, then I’ll make you cum as many times as possible, in every way I can.”  Y/N shivered as he pulled back to look at her.  “Then I’d fuck you, stuff you full of my cum until you can’t take anymore, and have you dripping me for days.”
“I’m…I’m not on the pill.  I don’t have an IUD,” Y/N said sadly.
“I don’t care,” Bucky said.  “You can have an abortion, or not.  But being linked to you forever?  You don’t have to threaten me with a good time,” he smirked.  
Her eyes widened, her head falling back against the wall as the idea of possibly getting pregnant with Bucky’s baby, being his in some capacity, was so hot she couldn’t stop the moan that escaped her throat.  “You wanna breed me?” she breathed.
Bucky’s eyes rolled back, his metal hand whirring as it pushed into the wall harder with a crack.  “Fuck yes,” he growled.

maybe I'm remembering wrong but I feel like some time ago I saw a post from you theorizing that Mel was Jayce's first for like, everything. I was wondering if you would be willing to expand on why you think that ;0
Yeah it's this post where I talk about how Jayce has the vibe of, "Intimidatingly hot girl that is so hot no one has ever asked her out before so she thinks she's unlovable."
I think Mel thought Jayce was a fuckboi. I mean, look at him! He totally looks like a muscle jock with a 1000 watt smile, who seems to soak up the adoration of the crowd, who seems based on his looks like he must have a vibrant sex life of sleeping with whoever he wants. To my eyes, Mel 100% thought that by sleeping with Jayce she would just be one of many and she could use the influence from that encounter to continue to manipulate him, but it would be a totally casual, sexual encounter.
Her belief he's a fuckboi seems to be confirmed when he's not there in the morning after they sleep together. You can see what's going through her head. She's thinking, "Welp, sleep with a fuckboi and you get a fuckboi. I don't know why I thought a party guy like that would stick around after, but I'm still disappointed." She is pissed and seems personally hurt/offended when he comes "crawling" back to apologize, and then he reveals it's because the single most important person in his life is dying.
Everything changes after that. Mel realizes she misunderstood Jayce. She realizes when he puts his head in her lap and kisses her wrist and is casually physically affectionate with her that she super-duper misread the situation. Jayce isn't a fuckboi. They slept together once and he thinks they're dating now! Mel actually looks like she's panicking there at how seriously he's taking this "relationship" AND she's realizing that she's taking him away from the actual love of his life, Viktor, so she fucked up big time. She literally reads the situation and immediately clocks, in my opinion, that Jayce is with the wrong person right now and possibly hasn't been aware of his love for Viktor and vice versa and as the one emotionally intelligent person in that trio says, "You lunatic, go back to your man right now, wtf are you doing here with me??" in so many words. She feels guilty and she realizes she fucked up and this actually very sweet guy is attached to her now. That's when she really begins to have feelings for him too but very much despite herself IMO.
As for Jayce being a virgin, or very near to it, I mean... Jayce doesn't notice people are attracted to him. He just doesn't. He's got random people sighing over him during Progress Day and he doesn't notice. He visibly swallows with nerves when Mel mildly flirts with him. He's not a fuckboi at all, if anything he's oblivious.
Basically, I think it fits that if Mel's not his actual first, she could very well be near his first. Jayce has been busy lately! Hextech is his dream, he's working at all hours, he's a hyperfixating nerd who spends all hours with his lab partner and if he's been hopelessly pining after Viktor then that's even more evidence he might have been "saving himself" for a marriage that didn't seem to be happening. Even when Mel kisses him, IMO Jayce's pause as he calculates whether or not he should reciprocate feels like he's thinking, "Do I have a shot with Viktor? No, sadly. Viktor's made it clear he's not interested so I might as well stop denying myself other relationships, especially with someone who expresses real interest and acts on it in a way my nerd-boy brain can understand." (Jayce is direct, he thinks in straight lines, and Mel flirts in the one way he understands IMO, but that's a meta for another day.)
So err, at the risk of rambling for 10 more pages, I think that addresses your question?

still amazed at how well HSO conveys the smaller tragedies of Hypnospace, from the kids whose parents keep too strong of a grip on their lives (e.g. Ashley, Rebekah), to the adults trying to express themselves and make friends and not being able to (e.g. Sarah Sanders, Sandy, Terry ;-;) – and the fact that almost every single one of them (putting aside the main characters) have their stories go unresolved
because, yeah! that is what would happen were this real life! that worm blog you used to enjoy reading about last month is now gone? Welp! Your online friend's parent(s) decided to cut them off from contact with the outside world? Too bad! It sucks so fucking much, and makes the careful picking of Hypnospace's bones with the Archive Project even more bittersweet. It's really a minor thing in comparison to the wider story/gameplay, but I really adore HSO for that feeling of unease and unresolved tragedy without any real closure, which is one of the most genuine and real (if that means anything talking about a piece of fiction lol) things I've felt from a game ngl

I desperately need a Merwaine accidental baby acquisition.
Gwaine could save a child from a burning down village of something, and the kid just refuses to leave his side. Like Gwaine drops them off with the nearest parents he could find (after vetting them first of course) but the child just pops up again like 'No you're my dad now'
He just keeps trying to explain that he would not make a good father to this kid, that his life is dangerous and full of death and horror. That his dad died when he was super young, so he had actually no idea what a dad even does other than perish. That they would be better off with a real family that has the time to take care of them as they deserve but the kid is just like, 'Nope, I'm in this now whether you like it or not'
So, he brings them back to Camelot, or maybe the kid just keeps following him and that includes into the castle.
Merlin finds out early on and instantly is like 'Yep that's your child which means it's also my child.' Then he finds out they have magic, and he goes into overdrive being a protective father over them.
Added points if its pre relationship territory where they're both in love with each other but can't tell each other that yet. Make it a forced proximity thing too where they have to hide the kid from Arthur and the other knights because they're scared they might try to take the kid away (Gwaine has fallen in love with them at this point) since Camelot isn't exactly the safest place for a literal child to be, and well they just have to constantly be around each other for the child's sake, of course.
But well, the knights slowly start figuring it out, first Lancelot, then Gwen, then Elyan, then Percival, and lastly Leon who is just like welp this might as well happen. Until their only really hiding from Arthur and then he finds out as well. And then the child is adopted by the entirety of the round table.
Merlin and Gwaine eventually confess their feelings when the kid spells it out for them because they just can't take the pinning anymore. And they kiss and everything is good.
If you wanted there could be a magic reveal as well. Arthur is v mad but can't really get angry when the kids big pleading eyes turn on him, so he keeps trying to censor himself in front of them. The rest of the round table pretty much decides that magic can't be all that bad if their baby has it, so the ban gets lifted.
I picture the kid being a girl. The knight's train her how to be a knight, Merlin trains her to be a witch, Gwen teaches her how to knit and sew and be an amazing person, and Arthur teaches her how to rule.
Anyways I think it would be cute.

HLC REACT TO MC HAVING AN OUT OF CHARACTER OUTBURST
Requested by: @ma1egamer
MC had a bad week. The worst week. An awful horrible week. But they still smiled. No one could know what was broiling just beneath the surface. They were the cool popular kid at Hogwarts, they had a reputation. If they just kept up appearances until the end of the day, they could go out after classes and fight a few dark wizards. That would help them de-stress.
They were lost in thought when someone accidentally ran into them, knocking their bag off their arm and causing it to spill its contents all over the floor. One of their ink bottles smashed, staining what was a lengthy essay they had just completed the night before for astronomy.
MC lost their carefully collected shit. "WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING!? IF ITS NOT ONE THING, ITS ANOTHER!! EVERY! SINGLE! DAY! But, if we didn't have bad weeks, the good weeks would be so amazing." It was like someone flipped a switch. MC was entirely calm again while using their wand to clean up their stuff.
The hall was dead silent. The whole crowd of students and faculty watched MC pack themselves up and walk away smiling.
SEBASTIAN SALLOW: "Welp, I feel sorry for any dark wizards or goblins that cross MC's path today." This included himself. He steered clear.
OMINIS GAUNT: "What happened? Why did they shout like that? Are they okay?" He needs context. He's worried.
ANNE SALLOW: She avoids eye contact with anyone in the crowd. She doesn't know what's going on, don't look at her.
IMELDA REYES: "What, in the actual fuck, was that?"
NATSAI ONAI: She marches after MC. They clearly aren't okay and she wants to know what's up.
GARRETH WEASLEY: MC's outburst made him drop a jar of pickled slugs. Now he was having a bad day too. The smell was awful.
LEANDER PREWETT: "They're cracking under the pressure. Sad."
AMIT THAKKAR: He has shrunk away from the noise. He doesn't deal with that kind of energy very well and removes himself from the situation.
EVERETT CLOPTON: "Merlin's beard, and here I thought Kogawa had a temper."
POPPY SWEETING: "Yeesh, I knew MC had fangs but I've never seen them take it out on a random student. I wonder what's bothering them."
ELEAZAR FIG: "Oh dear." He shuffles through the crowd and shepherds MC away. "What was that about? Are you alright? Please, don't lie to me."
MATILDA WEASLEY: She bristled at MC's volume. She could take house points for that, but instead ask MC to come to her office. She wants a word.
CHIYO KOGAWA: "Move along, everyone. You all have places to be." She shoos the crowd and stops MC from leaving. "Let's talk. My office."
AESOP SHARP: He gets it. As far as anyone is concerned, he saw nothing.
ABRAHAM RONEN: He's immediately by MC's side, helping them with their books. "Can you spare a moment to chat?" He wants them to be actually okay.
MIRABEL GARLICK: She walks quickly to catch up with MC and hands them a colorful bloom. "Here...it's Worry's Blight. It'll help you feel calm. You seem to need some more than me today."
MUDIWA ONAI: She invites MC up for tea. A special blend and good conversation is what they needed.
BAI HOWIN: Everyone has a bad day. There was no confrontation about the items dropped, so she let it go.
DINAH HECAT: "You shouldn't be shouting the halls, MC. However, instead of taking points, I have an assignment for you." She gave them a small price of paper with a location. "This is an ashwinder camp I heard wind of in the Three Broomsticks. It's a big one. Use this information as you may."
CUTHBERT BINNS: He just ghosted on out of there. He had a lecture to prep.
SATYAVATI SHAH: "No shouting in the halls. That's five points, MC." She didn't notice the vein fit to burst on MC's neck when they just smiled back at her.
PHINEAS NIGELLUS BLACK: "Children. Always whining about how hard life is. They know nothing of the real troubles life can throw at you."

hear me out… 90s mobster au… conjugal visits…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
mafia boss bucky got himself locked up… for something stupid and petty so he only got like 2 years and he already has people working on getting him the hell out of there, he’d never leave if they knew all he’s done but this sentence is doable. or so he thinks until his husband arrives to their first conjugal visit and instead of jumping his bones looks him up and down all icy firece eyes and throws a pile of papers to the bed before leaving with the bang of the door as soon as he arrives. bucky is too preoccupied with looking after him (gale is dressed in his tightest jeans on purpose, surely) that he doesn’t realize they are papers for him to sign for them to get a divorce.
the next time doesn’t go well. bucky has a point in claiming gale is being unreasonable just throwing it at him without even wanting to talk about it, gale insists he should’ve thought of it before getting caught. bucky gets all defensive and accuses gale of being a hypocrite, enjoying living trophy husband life when it suits him but now suddenly having a problem when there’s a slight hitch. he straight up refuses to even entertain the idea of divorce and gets all smug about it, tells buck he’s just having a temper tantrum and oh boy that does not land well, gale of course loses it completely to the point where the guards come running in to see if they’re okay and make gale leave with them (he goes happily, yelling after him about what an arrogant asshole john can be.)
while john is left fuming too, that little cell is starting to get to him, so the third time gale comes he’s ready to talk, and surprisingly so is gale. bucky apologizes and tells him he understand if gale wants more of a normal life, that he deserves someone who can give it to him and while it breaks his heart, he loves gale too much to not let him walk away if that’s what he wants. gale breaks down and tells him he doesn’t care about normal or want anyone else, he doesn’t care what people at the high school he teaches are saying nor their neighbours, he’s just broken about being scared for bucky’s safety here and once he gets outside too — the fbi keeps contacting him begging for information about his husband and there are suspicious cars always parked in front of their apartement these days, and gale hates and fears that he can be used against bucky, that he can be a weakness of the person he loves in his cruel world. bucky is beyond himself with worry once he realizes how much danger he’s caused gale too without realizing and left him to deal with it all alone, but gale claims he doesn’t care about that, just felt betrayed when bucky didn’t warn him beforehand about the gig having the potential to go this way like he promised he always would when they got married, had thought for a bit something worse had happened when he couldn’t reach him and then having to hear from the police he wouldn’t be able to see him other than at court. bucky apologizes and apologizes and apologizes until gale shuts him up by kissing him. the real feelings finally come out instead of anger and fear — missing the other like crazy, hell, they aren’t used to being apart even for a night. they run out of time when gale’s straddling his lips and they’re whispering comforting words to each other between kisses, and both walk away feeling much lighter than walking in.
the fourth time… welp! they make up for the lost time and then some. the guards have to physically drag gale away from there that time, clothes barely on and bucky yelling after them warning about hurting his husband or else as they manhandle him a bit too roughly for his liking. let’s just say that he’s more motivated than ever to get the hell out of there 🫣

S/O is a little too drunk for New Year and kisses Skeleton's brother after the final countdown instead of their boyfriend. For the main 10.
Undertale Sans - He's not mad and that's actually pretty funny to see Papyrus so much in distress and getting lost in his apologies to his brother. Sans is so going to tease you about this for days though. You are too drunk to notice his shitty grin right now, but you'll regret it soon.
Undertale Papyrus - He opened his arms wide to kiss you, you ran past him and threw yourself on poor Sans who gave up hours ago and was just sleeping on the couch. Sans has no idea what's going on while Papyrus is frozen with his arms wide open, just a tiny little bit hurt. That's fine though, he can still kiss Undyne on the cheek he guesses. He's not mad for long though.
Underswap Sans - He should be mad, but poor Honey is entirely orange and desperately trying to escape your death grip on his spine, whining pitifully, and that's way too funny to get mad. Blue still comes to ask for his midnight kiss though, you're not stealing that from him, he deserved it.
Underswap Papyrus - Honey is not too happy about that. Even if Blue takes it lightly and thinks it's funny, Honey has been compared to his brother his entire life and he feels like his brother just stole the only thing he managed to get all by himself. Honey tries to show nothing, but he is a little more silent afterward.
Underfell Sans - Red is PISSED OFF. Of course, Edge would take that opportunity to try to antagonize him. You're so confused about what's happening when Red suddenly lunges at his brother's throat for no reason as they both roll on the ground like angry animals. No one is really shocked though. A party without people fighting for no reason is not a real party in their world.
Underfell Papyrus - If there's something Edge isn't willing to share, it's his S/O. He's mad at you, but he's even madder at his brother, despite him trying to push you away because he knew what would happen to him. Edge starts screaming at his brother, asking him what's his problem, Red gets mad for being screamed at for no reason... And here they are, rolling on the floor once again lol.
Horrortale Sans - Well you're lucky as Oak is already dead in the couch, snoring so loud the house is trembling, and doesn't notice anything. You're too small to kiss Willow anyway. Willow is just staring you down uncomfortably as you're jumping to try and kiss him, not sure what you're trying to achieve.
Horrortale Papyrus - Willow is just confused as you suddenly crawl between his legs to jump on poor Oak. However, this is not a good idea to wake up Oak. You surprise him, he grabs your soul and throws you against the wall with his magic. Oopsie. Welp, good thing is you didn't kiss Oak so Willow is not mad at you. Bad news is you end your night at the hospital and there are so many people you're not going back home before the next night lol. Willow is still a little mad at you after six hours of sitting on an uncomfortable chair. Oak regrets nothing though, that's all your fault and he already forgot anyway.
Swapfell Sans - Ew. He's not mad at you, just disgusted. He doesn't know when his brother last bathed and now you're all contaminated. When you realize your mistake and turn around to kiss him, he put his hand in the way. Hell no, you're not kissing him before you brush your teeth at least five times. Rus is not offended, he thinks it's hilarious.
Swapfell Papyrus - He gasps audibly. You took Nox by surprise, but Nox is really loyal and he hates these types of interactions. He pushes you on your butt and starts to scream at you. You're too drunk though and just giggle at what he's saying, so Nox goes to fill a bucket with very cold water and throws it at your face to help you sober up. Rus is watching the whole time, not doing anything to save you.
Fellswap Gold Sans - He thought you just wanted to wish his brother a happy new year, but he freezes as you kiss him full mouth. The heck?! Wine crosses his arms like a stern parent and stares at you with pure disappointment. His face scares you somehow and you start to cry, then throw yourself at his legs to beg his pardon... and puke on his shoes. Wine won't talk to you for three days lol.
Fellswap Gold Papyrus - Coffee runs after you when he understands what you're doing, but you still end up kissing Wine. There's a long silence as Wine stares at you in shock and pure offense, then Coffee jumps on his brother as Wine tries to stab you lol. Wine is not happy about this. Not only you're hurting his brother, but you dared to touch him, he's so angry at you. You better hide from him for a few days lol.

Nightmare (Tied to Fate crk au)
words: 2333
No beta readers
Basically, the same au from earlier, this time focusing more on Dark Cacao and how the nightmares of his past life affect him and his relationship with his son.
Welp enjoys the writing
To a warrior, nightmares just become another thing of life. Saving so many people, ending the lives of others, it was natural for it to leave a mark on the mind and the night to be restless. Waking up screaming was not uncommon for the warriors of the citadel.
Yet to the King, Dark Cacao Cookie, his nightmares were always horrible, because they never start out as nightmares.
The king might have been able to ignore or even come to terms with the horrible nightmares if they started out as such, always in a state of panic, something you could easily convince yourself isn’t real. However, that wasn’t a luxury for Dark Cacao.
These dreams always start out peaceful, it was a land so different to the dark cacao kingdom, the weather was always soft breezes or gentle sunshine rays. Even snow in the dreams wasn’t the harsh cold winters Dark Cacao was used too, no they were a blanket of fluff, rather then the harsh ice.
Sometimes in these dreams there would be a woman. He didn’t know her name, he wanted to but he never heard it spoken out loud. And her face itself, it was like his mind was mocking him, absolutely blurring the features so he could never wake up and draw the figure. It was always just small hints or features, sometimes it was white hair that could rival the snow, other times a golden necklace crafted with love and attention. Other times it’s a pair of beautiful red eyes that looked at him as if he hung the moon in the sky.
The same red eyes his son bore.
Yes, his son, Dark Choco was always there in the dreams, the same red eyes shining with happiness, his hair complete black with white strand was often pulled back into a braid. The small child, only about age 7 was always by his father’s side, trying to help with whatever task the dream held.
The scenes were always calm in a sense, he might be picking fruit from a garden, asking his little son what he wanted for dinner. Other time’s be might be training with a blade that is hooked shaped, completely unfamiliar yet comfortable in his hands. Sometimes he held a hammer and repaired a building, his son close by like a shadow, happily holding wood and whatever supplies the man needed. It was busy but relaxing, the kind of relaxing that just sunk into your bones and made you feel at peace.
Yet it never stayed. 
Eventually the sky would turn dark, as rain and lightning rained down. Dark Cacao’s peace would be ripped away by his son's screams piercing through the night. He would move before his mind could process, he took the hook sword and swung it at faceless cookies until eventually his crying son was in his arms. If it had just been a battle, it wouldn’t have been a horrible nightmare, yet without fail eventually a blade would slice the man forcing him to drop the sword.
The man began to run, his son nuzzled in his arms trying to keep him safe from the mob of cookies that chased after them. He ran through familiar wooden paths, hiding himself in the darkness as the mob tried their best to keep their torches lit. He ran the same path each time, no matter how much he screamed at himself to go another way or simply hide, it always turned out the same.
“By the witches, no.” He would say softly as he reached the end. It was a cliff, high above a dark inky sea, if not for the lightning he probably would fall off before even knowing what happened.
Yet when Dark Cacao turned back, the voice of the cookies ranged close by, talks of killing one and keeping the child drifting to the air. His grip on his son tightened as he felt himself back up, inch by inch, hoping and praying the other cookies would not be able to see him in the darkness.
“Dad…what’s going..” Dark Choco whispered to his father, his words were cut off by his father’s grip tightening, burying the boy deeper into the fabric.
“Just close your eyes little one, it’s just a bad dream.” He would whisper to the boy, trying to keep his tears from messing his voice. “Just keep your eye’s closed, and when you open them again, everything will be alright.”
Dark Cacao would close his eyes as he tightened the hug, taking another small step back as the rocks from the cliff loosen themselves under the weight. And he prayed, he silently prayed to the witches above.
‘Please let him live.’
The cookies would appear however by then Dark Cacao was resolved to his fate, he allowed himself to fall back, off the cliff, his son safe in his arms. 
The wind whipped around Dark Cacao’s face, his hair dancing above him, as he saw the light of the torches slowly fading. He saw the dark clouds begin to break apart, the hint of the stars slowly gracing his eyes one last time. His last prayer to the witches range through his head as he closes his eyes.
His death came quickly as he hit the water.
Dark Cacao’s eyes shot open, he took in a deep breath as he waited for his body to stop screaming in pain. The phantom pains stop just as quickly as they started and he slowly dragged himself into a sitting position, the fire was now gone, only leaving the bitter cold in the room. He brought a hand up to rub his eyes, most warriors would try their best to go back to sleep but the king knew there was no point. His nightmares always made it feel like his nerves were on fire, sleep never came easily again after that.
Dark Cacao’s feet hit the cold floor, out of habit he grabbed his sword and slowly made his way out of his room, and walked a familiar path. 
The nightmares had been bad but once his son had been born they had gotten worse, once ripped from the dream Dark Cacao would grab his sword and run through the citadel, till eventually he got to his son’s room. Sometimes he would take a peek inside to see his sleeping son before standing in front of the door, guarding it with sword in hand. Other time’s he would lock the door behind him and slowly rock his son’s cradle, watching as his chest rose and fell. The bad nights had him tearing the baby out of his bed and holding him close, which often resulted in the little prince crying and being fussy the next day.
The floorboard creaked under Dark Cacao’s feet as shame burned into him. His son's room was a lot closer than what it had been. Originally it was on the other side of the citadel to allow the maids and others to possibly hear the child cries, but it became clear that after his nightmares, Dark Cacao couldn’t tell who was friend or foe. The worst night had been the one where Dark Choco had woken from a nightmare, his sharp cries pierce the air the same way they had done in the King’s dream. Dark Cacao ran like a mad man and injured many of the watchers and servants who went to check on his son; he could have easily killed them if his sole focus hadn’t been getting to his young son. The King had actually locked himself and the prince in that room, it wasn’t until the sun came out that he realized he hadn’t been protecting his child from that mob of cookies.
After that it was ruled for everyone’s safety that the prince’s room needed to be in the same wing as the King’s for safety reasons. It is why he was now outside the prince’s room, his door right in front of Dark Cacao. There were fainted drawings on the bottom half of the door, something Dark Choco and Caramel Arrow cookie did when he first got the room and the King had never bothered to clean up.There were carving in the door frame, where the Dark Cacao had taken a dagger and marked his son’s growth as he grew in height.
Dark Cacao brought a hand up, ready to knock on the door, he had stopped completely barging in after nightmares once his son turned 8. Yet he suddenly felt a shiver go down his spice.
‘He’s not here.’ A voice whispered.
The King’s hand paused before it traced the scar across his chest, the voice was right after all, the prince wasn’t here, there was no point knocking. He grabbed the doorknob and turned it, revealing the prince's room. The room was dark like most in the castle, but it was nicer than most, likely only the king’s room was nicer. The bed was made from soft cotton, perfectly made, a habit Dark Choco got into after he started his training. There were a few coats thrown about, a training sword and dagger resting on some dressers. And hiding right under the bed was a small wolf toy, the one childish toy his son had kept. 
His son wasn’t here, and he wasn’t coming back.
Dark Cacao sat in the chair by the desk, tracing the scar across his chest. By the witches above he felt like an idiot, wondering where he had gone wrong. He remembers every sense his nightmares clogged his mind and that Dark Choco showed interest in the King’s own sword. Oh, Dark Choco was so happy to learn how to wield a sword, he practiced hard with a smile and would look up to his dad with those big red eyes of his that held so much joy. And for a while that’s all the young prince needed.
Dark Cacao closed his eyes, tightening his grip on his sword before leaning down, resting his head on the top of his hand. It was uncomfortable, but god he felt so stupid.
Of course, eventually Dark Choco wanted to join the watchers, to go out of the citadel and help all the surrounding towns that were part of the kingdom. Dark Cacao remembers how Dark Choco's bright red eyes seemingly darken when he shut down the idea. The argument was ugly, he had heard many servants whisper about it. The prince wanted to leave the safety of the citadel and explore the world and the kingdom, and then the king, so overprotective and paranoia that he told his son that the boy was never leaving the citadel walls.
That overprotectiveness that drove the young prince to run away.
The prince had run away in the dead of night, and he had been missing for a month. It was a horrible month, the king had little sleep as he ordered his watchers to hunt for the missing child day and night. Yet nothing seemed to come up as if the young prince had vanished into thin air.
‘You’ve never expressed yourself healthy.’ A female voice said, Dark Cacao could practically feel her arms wrap around him as she rested her head on his shoulders. ‘You either wear that cold indifference mask or you just experience one emotion to an extreme, it’s not healthy.’
Dark Cacao shrugged off the ghost as he leaned back to look at the ceiling. The ghost was right, he didn’t handle his emotions well, if he had his son would still be here.
If Dark Cacao had focused on the joy of seeing his son again, or the relief that he was safe, or even being proud he brought back a sword it wouldn’t have led where it did. His son would have just happily talked to his dad, and the king would have noticed the dark magic that clung to the sword like a bad smell. 
But he didn't, all he felt in that moment was anger, he screamed over his son’s excitement stomping away the prince’s joy, he completely failed to notice the dark magic and how it got stronger as Dark Choco expression shifted. He grabbed his son’s wrist planning to drag him back to his room and that’s when the fight broke out. 
And Dark Cacao slices his son’s eye. He didn’t care that his son nearly sliced him in half.
He remembers holding the bleeding wound, telling his son to ‘get out of his sight’. Those words came back to haunt him when he woke him up. As he remembered the healer's expression when he asked her where his son was.
Witches above what was he supposed to do? He just wanted his child back. If he could go back in time, he would do everything to get his family back. Did they want his soul jam? Gods he would give up everything, his soul jam, his kingdom, just anything to have the family his soul craves back.
“Whoever is in-your majesty!” A familiar voice said as she rushed into the room. It was Caramel Arrow Cookie who quickly bowed her head to not look at the king. “My apologies, I thought it was one of the newest workers.”
The king didn’t comment on the slight fear in her voice. It had become well known that his son’s room was off limits after he reduced one of the cleaners to tears when she threw out some of the prince’s clothes. Hell, even the topic of his son was now a taboo as when his advisor tried to say something about ‘the no-good prince finally leaving’ he had to grip the man so hard he nearly snapped his neck. Of course, the advisor quickly quit and left, leaving that position open which they were now trying to fill.
“Your majesty?” Caramel Arrow said bring the king out of his thoughts. “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
‘Lier’

♥️Reveling in Richonne - TOWL
#26: The Crazy (1.03)
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nerd4music
So there was no doubt in my mind what I’d label the final post of episode 3. It had to be called ‘The Crazy’ because…Pearl lost her damn mind aiming a gun at Michonne. Like is she insane? 🤨
Lol, no but for real this is called ‘The Crazy’ because my sweet sweet Richonne are a couple that can always match each other's shine, match each other's freak, and especially match each other's crazy.
And their crazy was on full display in the final moments of this thrill of an episode 👌🏽...
But first, we do actually have to talk about Pearl being crazy enough to consider taking out Michonne in cold blood. 😑
After Richonne miraculously doesn’t get caught hungrily making out behind a thin tree they return to take down walkers like only Richonne can. We love to see it. 😊 But Pearl apparently hates to see it. 😬
Tumblr media
gif cred: @coolpartytimefan
She watches as Rick and Michonne kill these walkers and starts really paying attention to Michonne taking out walkers and being the A Pearl pretends to be.
Pearl appears consumed with what I interpreted as a feeling of being threatened by Michonne, not because Pearl wants Rick, but rather because Michonne is a natural leader who clearly has an influence on people like Sergeant Major Grimes and she’s terrified that somehow Michonne being a clear A will have major ramifications on herself - both as a solider who argued for her and personally considering Dana’s effect on Pearl’s one family member Rick.
So Pearl raises her gun at Michonne and even starts to pull the trigger which was Pearl's certified death sentence. Seeing this, I was like welp this scene is a spoiler now lol. I knew Pearl wasn't gonna make it out of TOWL alive because again, anyone who threatens Michonne swiftly ends up in the afterlife.
Tumblr media
gif cred: @coolpartytimefan
Luckily, Rick notices Pearl aiming a gun at his wife and none of what Pearl thinks she’s about to do is ever happening on Rick’s watch so without question he grabs a walker and gets in front of her gun to shield Michonne. How sweet. 🥰
Tumblr media
gif cred: @coolpartytimefan
Rick reminds Pearl of why they’re out here when he yells they have 10 delts left and Pearl snaps back to reality to finish the job. I'll say it over an over again - I love that Rick takes his role as Michonne’s protector so seriously. He never hesitates to literally put his life on the line for her. 
Tumblr media
gif cred: @coolpartytimefan
So then it’s nighttime as the soldiers are packing up and Rick and Michonne share a quick little look before he walks in the opposite direction as Pearl approaches to reprimand him.
Pearl says, “She broke protocol which made you break protocol” And Pearl, babe, he’d do it again. Cuz that 'she' Pearl's talking about is Rick's longtime leader so of course he followed Michonne and broke protocol with her.
Also, I was like Pearl the task wasn’t gonna get done if they followed your lead so...🤷🏽‍♀️. Rick responds by saying, “She needed help. You needed help.” And Pearl most certainly did. She seems to have forgotten that.
Pearl is still ticked off as she says there needs to be order and again emphasizes, “She went rogue and you followed, how many others are gonna do that?” I admit I liked seeing someone be so shook over the influence Michonne has lol. 🤭
Tumblr media
gif cred: @coolpartytimefan
Pearl says, “I trusted her, I put my neck out for her. For you. I regret it.” I like how Rick replies by saying, “Don’t.” cuz he’s like 'you have regrets? well, how about don't have regrets' lol.
Then Rick, who has had to be an actor all episode with Pearl, is ready to dish out more lies to protect Michonne when he says, “That’s why I did what I did. Listen, maybe it was too early for her. I’ll send her back, give her more time at the Harvest Point.”
Pearl is done defending Dana as she sternly says, “Yeah, for now. We need to take care of this - us.” And hearing that made me feel like Pearl in the first episode of TOWL cuz I was looking at her like “uh, uh don’t say ‘us’, Thorne.” Cuz they’re not an ‘us’, plain and simple.
Pearl is in her hater energy telling Rick to take Michonne back cuz she doesn’t want to see her again. And Pearl, that's because you know deep down if Michonne does show you up again...
Tumblr media
Pearl also says she’ll give Rick a pass this time since he did help majorly. Then Pearl reveals that Beale wants to brief Rick and that he’s moving up which is news to Rick, especially after Beale had previously said he still doesn’t know if he trusts him earlier in this ep. Pearl says, “Rick, you better understand.” before walking away. And Rick seems shaken by all this.
I think for Rick there’s this sense of one; knowing he has to get his wife out of here by any means necessary and he can’t rely on Pearl at all anymore since she’s done with Dana. And also two; for years, Rick's been told that his life’s purpose should be changing the CRM from the inside, and learning he’s moving up could present an opportunity to do so. But also getting the briefing could be something that just further enslaves him as it seems to have changed and enslaved Pearl to the CRM now, even if she doesn't view it like that.
So then, if this day wasn’t stressful enough, Rick is walking and sees the Garbage Queen walking around. 😒
Tumblr media
Watching it back it made me laugh because Rick sees Jadis first and he has a stank face but isn’t intending to talk to her. He was just gonna walk on by with an expression like 'look what the trash brought in.' But then Jadis speaks to him saying she’s headquartered here now so she’ll be around often. Again, just more bad news for Rick. 😩
And then like I said before, Jadis will combust if she doesn’t harass somebody every two seconds so she tries it once again when she attempts flirtation and touches Rick saying, “You should come take a look at my quarters.” 🤢 I love the way Rick pulls away in absolute disgust at the mere notion of what Jadis is implying. Like he’s wholly offended by the offer and so am I.
I appreciate how Rick, like Michonne, never even considered anyone else neither sexually or romantically. It’s true to their characters to stay so loyally in love with each other even after being apart longer than they were together. Again, you don’t move on from a love like theirs.
I just know when Rick first got to the CRM he wanted to take a page from Toy Story and have Michonne’s name written on the bottom of his tattered cowboy boot just to make it clear who he belongs to lol. No other woman stood a chance at being with him, especially not that serpent Jadis.
That’s why every time Rick gets to kiss Michonne and hold her and be tenderly held by her after they reunited it makes my heart happy because he’s getting to experience and express this love with the only woman on the planet he wants to experience and express this love with.
And when Jadis comes on to Rick and he pulls away that was a ‘heifer, I’m a married man’ pull away. Like I know the direct quote from his mind was ‘Even tho I’m about to try and break things off with my wife, I’m still an eternally married man because I’m trying to get Michonne to leave me but I’m still not leaving her ever.’ 
Tumblr media
gif cred@andy-clutterbuck
As Rick looks at Jadis with loathing in his eyes, she says, “Beautiful view of the cascades,” somehow not picking up on the fact that Rick has gone several years without his wife and still never once looked her way.
And then Jadis just casually looks right over at Michonne almost tickled by this whole situation as she says, “She hasn’t seen me.” The audacity of this woman to be coming on to Rick at all, but especially when she knows his wife was right there. Jadis has been irking my spirit since 2017 y’all, for real. 😪
And she irks me even more when Michonne looks over and sees Jadis for the first time, leading the snake to just smugly be like, “Oh. There it is. She saw me.” She’s getting off on this stuff and it’s annoying. 🙄
And it’s in this moment where you see Rick have a system shutdown experience. 😞 Like there’s just one too many threats pointed his wife’s way and he can’t take it anymore.
Rick is a man whose heart lives outside of his chest because his heart is his family. You can’t truly debilitate him until you come for them. And so when his wife’s life was threatened like eight different times in the span of a few hours you see him just be overcome with overwhelm at the danger his wife is in.
Like y'all, he’s just a boy in love with a girl whose life is at risk at every turn and that’s intolerable to him since he feels made to protect her. And he wants Michonne safe by any means necessary cuz for Rick, something bad happening to her is 1000x worse than anything they could do to him. Plus, he knows if anything happens to Michonne he won't ever bounce back from that loss.
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
So with Pearl no longer helping them, Jadis' insufferable self, and even Beale noting Michonne among thousands…it’s too much for a man who feels wholly devoted to keeping Michonne out of harm's way and who quite literally needs her to live in order for him to live at all. So we see Rick snap, ready to do anything to get Michonne out of here asap. Including breaking her heart. 😓
Rick sees Michonne seeing Jadis and immediately walks to her, not wanting this to escalate between the two ladies. But then things escalate between him and Michonne because he grabs Michonne’s arm and pulls her to the side...even tho not far enough to the side if you ask me lol. I was like surely a soldier is going to be able to look over and be like 'Why are Grimes and Consignee Bethune arguing like a married couple over there? 🧐'
As Rick grabs Michonne, who is clearly taken by surprise and understandably confused as to what the heck Jadis is doing here, Rick just says, “It doesn’t matter.” But I was like Rick, what? 🤔 It matters a ton because it’s Jadis's threats that are why Rick switched up on thinking they could escape together in the first place and it would be very helpful for Michonne to know the role Jadis plays in all this. 
Tumblr media

Michonne says a bewildered, “Jadis?” And she has every right to want answers and be perplexed seeing her. Like there’s clearly a story here that Rick hasn’t mentioned to her yet. Also, I like how, despite last knowing her as 'Anne', when Michonne sees Jadis with the CRM she calls her 'Jadis' because she’s like 'I know this can’t be the reformed version of that heifer, this has got to be the snake Judas version.'
Since Rick has become quite one-track-minded in trying to get Michonne home, he doesn’t seem to get why explaining Jadis' involvement would be a big missing piece in helping Michonne understand what the heck is going on. So he more sternly tells her, “It doesn’t matter!” And I notice once Michonne realizes the testy energy Rick has that's when she yanks her arm from out of his grasp.
And then y’all, this next part is where we get introduced to a new character. 😪👌🏽
See, the Rick we know and love is called The Brave Man. But this new guy at the end of episode three, who happens to look a lot like the Brave Man, is actually a character I like to call The Bold As Hell Talking To His Wife Like That Man.
And The Bold As Hell Talking To His Wife Like That Man, or TBAHTTHWLT Man for short lol, says, “You’re going back to base right now then I’m getting you the hell out of here”
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
And can I just say, I usually pause the scenes throughout to write out my thoughts but the way he’s behaving in this particular scene had me so heated I had to just stop and let the scene play while I stared silently like…🤨😒.
And Rick continues to be TBAHTTHWLT Man when he angrily tells Michonne he’s getting her out of here even if he has to knock her out and put her on the boat himself which…not knock her out??? 🤨 This healthy relationship only gets one knockout and Michonne already cashed in on it when she knocked Rick out in season 5 so...no more of that. That's not how these two knock each other out anymore, okay?😇
Tumblr media
gif cred: @chonesmint
And also nawt him doing a little firm hand movement for emphasis. 🙃 He lost his mind.
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
Michonne is listening to this with her eyes wide in utter shock that her man is speaking to her like this. Plus, he's the one who told her multiple times that they'd get away together and now he’s on ten acting like she’s crazy for thinking they were ever going to go home together.
Rick really was putting her on a roller coaster since she’s been in the CRM. One minute they’re breathlessly making out with all the passion in the world and the next he’s telling her “I belong here, you don’t, and you will never change that.” 
It’s sad that he’s convinced himself he belongs here. He knows strong people don’t belong here but he’s convinced himself he’s not strong anymore. 😢 When he decided to die he felt he died a failure and he’s lost his confidence that he can be more than that.
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
Saying 'you will never change that' is also wild because Michonne can always change Rick’s mind. He’s been aware of that since years ago, like when he told Michonne she could’ve talked him out of his hidden guns ploy in ASZ in season 5.
Also, this tone he's using...I hadn’t heard Rick speak to Michonne in this tone since the season 3 “we patch you up and then you’re gone” days. And just like that line in season 3, Rick does not truly mean the things he's saying here in TOWL episode 3 either.
Then TBAHTTHWLT Man wants to get extra hurtful when he tries to announce the end of Richonne, saying, “It’s over. Everything we had is broken. You hear me?”
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
Ok first; it was bad enough hearing him say that but then the truculent 'you hear me?' on top of it…TBAHTTHWLT Man and I had beef in this scene, I must say.
But also I’m a big fan of paying attention to wording. And the wording here is very telling. Notice, he doesn’t say we’re over. But it’s over.
'We’re over' would feel a lot more break-up-y but 'it’s over 'feels like saying whatever hope we had of being together is over more than saying there’s nothing between us. After all those kisses he knows that lie would never be bought. So he says 'it’s over.'
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
And then saying 'everything we had is broken,' still leaves room for the fact that something outside of themselves broke what they had.
Still, hearing 'everything we had is broken; is just such a crushing thing to hear tho. 🥺
Like fortunately Rick is not nearly as good of an actor as Andrew Lincoln and so you know right here and now that he doesn’t mean any of this and it’s a bold-faced lie, but still that it was said at all is painful. Especially when you see Michonne’s face reacting to these hurtful untruths. 😞
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
She’s been through hell trying to save Rick and now he’s being so uncharacteristically cold to her and becoming the biggest obstacle to her mission of saving him and getting them home to their kids.
But I love it when you see the subtle shift in her expression. Like at first as she’s listening to Rick essentially try to break up with her (which is just crazy to even type out) she seems really flabbergasted and hurt and also like she can sense an underlying subtext to what’s going on. Like she looks concerned not for her but for him. He’s clearly reacting from a place of trauma and anxiety and she’s like okay what’s really going on with you cuz this is a cry for help.
At this moment I almost thought Michonne might look around wondering who the heck he was talking to and then with concern be like...
Tumblr media
I mean, Michonne started talking to her 'dead' lover again in season 9 so maybe Rick started seeing people who aren't actually there again. It happens lol.
But for real, when Rick says that stern “You hear me?” you can see Michonne realize something else - she realizes that her husband has introduced a game for the two of them to play called the Crazy-Off. 😋
And right now Rick is in the lead by talking to her cash crazy. But as a true blue winner, Michonne is ready to come in at the buzzer and win this Crazy-Off that her husband has started. 😜
But for real I do think Michonne blinks and stares at him at the end hearing more of the subtext of what he’s saying. She looks like she’s thinking, ‘Rick, that’s a strange way to say ‘hey I’m stressed and scared for us, so can you take over?’ but okay I translated it, and don’t worry...
Tumblr media
It's interesting because no man has ever loved a woman more than Rick loves Michonne and no woman has ever loved a man more than Michonne loves Rick. And once they reunited in TOWL, for Michonne her love for him manifests itself as fuel that makes her fight harder, and for Rick his love for her manifests itself as fear that makes him try so hard to protect her even from himself because he’s terrified of something happening to her. 
But Michonne knows that this breakup talk is BS and so now she’s ready to take matters into her own hands because, as Danai said, she can’t have this man in her presence like this any longer. 👌🏽
Tumblr media
gif cred: @ricksmarlene
And it’s funny because at first glance it might appear like Michonne's silent reaction is her reacting equanimously to all this. But the way her eyes are moving and twitching while looking at Rick, she's definitely communicating if you want to get crazy, we can get crazy.
Now don’t get me wrong, I can comprehend what Rick was doing in this scene. I get that this behavior is all actually coming from how much he loves her and is terrified of something happening to her. While he's presenting as angry, what he really feels is fear. And he knows she won’t leave without him because she loves him and so he’s trying to break her heart so that she’ll be more willing to leave him behind and make it home alive.
...But I still think it’s not okay and absolutely crazy that he thought this approach would work. 
And again, if Rick wants to get crazy…well Michonne had to remind him...
Tumblr media
So now, they’re sitting across from each other on the helicopter during a raging storm. Rick is staring at Michonne and Michonne is staring right back at him with crazy all up in her eyes.
Since season 3, Michonne has never backed down from a steely stare-down with Rick Grimes and she’s not about to do so now.
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
The way she’s staring and smiling without blinking in this helicopter, I’d be more scared of whatever is going through her head than this helicopter rocking about. 🫣 And Rick is more uneasy about her too lol. They’re definitely expressing things without words here.
Also, whoever is piloting this helicopter during this storm has no idea that the real storm a-brewing is between the married couple in the back.
I love the way Michonne just stayed looking at him with that smize being like you seem to have forgotten who I am but it’s all good cuz I’m going to quickly remind you. I could just feel the way she’s probably thinking - I’ve been through too much, you’ve been through too much, we’ve been through too much to end it this way. So if we’re gonna go out, baby it’s gonna be with a bang. 💥
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
I love how you can visibly see Michonne concocting an unhinged plan in her mind too. 🤭
So the helicopter shakes and Rick is already anxious because he probably has helicopter crash PTSD but then he looks back up at Michonne and tries to maintain his grumpy little face at her but he also is nervous cuz he can tell she’s up to something.
Then Rick starts getting legit panicked from the violent shaking of the helicopter. But Michonne is so locked in about what she’s about to do that she’s completely unfazed by the helicopter. Let it rock. 😌
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
Michonne just calmly looks out the window at the water below as she again speaks to her daughter in an unforgettable episode ender.
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
Michonne says, “Shoto, it’s Daito. I’m sorry…” And then Michonne stares right at Rick, unstraps herself, and swiftly grabs Rick, plunging both of them out of the helicopter and into the thundering storm as Rick lets out a panicked yell. Michonne's voiceover then just says with chilling calm, “I don’t know if we’ll be back.”
Wild. 🤯
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
And also what an icon Michonne is. 👑😌 I loved this moment. 👏🏽 I know up to this point Rick probably thought he had tried every method in the book to get home but Michonne was like have you tried plummeting out of a moving helicopter?...let's try that.
Rick didn’t realize of all the people to be nervous about it was actually Michonne, not the others he should have most been on high alert for. 😋
Michonne really said oh you’ll do anything to save me? Guess what? I’ll do anything to save you, so off this helicopter we go. And her pulling this move was her letting Rick Grimes, the CRM, and Gravity itself know she's that girl and nothing is stopping her. 💅🏽
Tumblr media
gif cred: @nat111love
I love how Michonne will both literally and figuratively do what needs to be done. Like figuratively and literally knocking some sense into Rick in season 5 or literally and figuratively yanking Rick out of his stormy state in TOWL.
The way she told Shoto 'I don’t know if we’ll be back' - Michonne basically was like your daddy is tripping, Shoto, so I don't know if this story ends with us going home to Alexandria or me sending him to the heavenly home above.
And honestly, if Judith had heard Rick talking cash crazy to Michonne like that she would have had some words cuz she does not play about her mama. Idk if her parents would ever tell her this part of the story one day but if they do, I personally think Judith would be in full support of what Michonne did. 😅
But also I really like the wording of 'I don't know if we’ll be back' because it poses the question to be beautifully and expertly explored in the next episode. Can Rick and Michonne find their way back to each other in a more internal sense? Right now Michonne doesn’t know for certain. But as a true Get Things Done Grimes she’s gonna try to find out during an incredibly riveting Richonne 'timeout.'
So the exciting episode 3 ends with an empty helicopter and rain pouring as we’re set up for what comes next.
And what comes next is an experience that transcends television.
An experience that profoundly explores the depths of Richonne and takes the characters to their highest heights.
An experience that features some of Andy and Danai's absolute best performances.
An experience so great and addicting that every single scene had rewind buttons around the world looking like...
Tumblr media
"What We" is a true standout within the TWD franchise, and most of all it's an experience that was exceptionally written by the illustrious Danai Gurira herself. 👑👏🏽
So now, my fellow Richonne fans, stans, & friends...
Tumblr media
We have got to talk about every fine detail in the masterpiece that is Episode 4. 😇🎉👌🏽

Hi! Hope you're having a good time💜 Any opinions the Haasbands? (Kevin x Nico)
OMG HI! Hope you’re having a great time too
As for the ask game
HAASBANDS?!? BOY DO I HAVE SOME STRONG OPINIONS ON THIS !! So sorry op this might be posted a bit late cuz i have TOO MANY THOTS AND FEELINGS OVER THEM OK LETS START:
Obviously, the HISTORY. Ik the most “relevant”/spoken about F1 rivalries are brocedes/lestappen these days but we really have to look into Haasbands cuz they’re THE enemies to lovers story, like actual rivals who fell hard for eo.
We all know about the infamous “suck my balls” comment from Kevin, about Nico and Kevin butting heads on track, how they apparently hated eo till suddenly they’re teammates and they mesh so well tgt that Nico calls it a fucking “romance”.
There’s soooo much nuance to their dynamic to unpack here though. The general consensus is “guard-dog kevin” and “level-headed nico” but LETS TALK ABOUT THE INNER WORKINGS OF THEIR DYNAMIC PRE-MARRIAGE OK. In an interview, Kevin talked about how the “hatred” was one-sided, that despite the hot-headed comment during that interview, Kevin has never disliked Nico, rather he always respected the older as a fellow driver.
This flips the “level-headed nico” characterization on it’s head because look: pre-marriage Hulknussen was basically a one-sided rivalry where Nico was a petty bitch and giving Kevin the silent treatment, whilst Kevin was leaving all the rivalry and anger on the track, more or less wilfully oblivious to the “enemies” narrative. He respected Nico as a person and just was chill with him off track, but on track Kevin fights for his life no matter who he’s up against.
Now post-marriage Haasbands arc brings us two dudes who are much more mature, definitely have a much different perspective in life (cuz of the families they’ve built). They’ve grown as people obv and when they were more or less forced to be co-workers they had to suck it up like real adults and act like professionals.
But when they were actually working tgt, they found that it was easy. They got along on a fundamental level. Kevin always held that respect for Nico as a driver and person and when Nico actually allowed himself to give Kevin a chance, to talk to the guy and see him for the person he is off-track, not just as the aggressive and fearless fighter in the car, he grew a genuine respect and appreciation for Kevin as a person.
Among all the ships, i’d say Haasbands is the most sane one. They go from genuine rivalry/one-sided hatred and one-sided ignorance, to a friendship, mutual respect, peaceful relationship.
Obviously that’s just the brief overview of it but let’s not overlook the INSANITY within their dynamic cuz i am in no way discounting “guard-dog kmag”. He’s a fiercely protective warrior on the track and we’ve seen firsthand how he will fucking kamikaze for fhe sake of nico getting a point, how he will openly speak up about anything unfair that happens with Nico, like with nico and daniel’s crash this year. Kevin is a man in love and he’s a man who will lay his life on the line for it.
NICO. He’s level-headed alright. He’ll very calmly with the sweetest smile on his face threaten any lifeform that harms Kevin in any way. He’s a sweetheart sure but he’s just as nuts for Kev as kev is for him. His raw thoughts on Kmag’s race ban is a prime example of it.
These two are like actual fuckin husbands, they’ll protect eo to the end. And the domesticity between them makes me gag like ok get a room guys we get it yall are in LOVE
the kmag birthday clip? Them watching sports tgt outside of WORK duties? The way they’re constantly complimenting each other without faltering, almost tryna one-up eo in a compliment battle in the driver rankings videos? The compliments outside of those too like they are genuinely obsessed with each other?! I could go on but we’d be here all day so. Just know they’re sickeningly, tooth-rottingly sweet with eo
Welp i’ve rambled long enough lmao sorry if u subjected urself to my disjointed thoughts i just have so many Feelings™️ about haasbands they’re one of my otps lol they’re just so PERFECT they’re THE enemies to lovers like real fuckin enemies to lovers.
(As for my nsfw thoughts i think they’re pure switches but Nico lets his short gremlin male-wife take care of him more cuz he’s very fond and will do wtv Kevin wants THANK YOU)

✎ yandere! writer who is taken aback when you're standing in the middle of his bedroom one morning. eh? did he... did he drink too much last night? why are you standing in his room? you're so warm though... so soft, so beautiful- and he got slapped by you! so you were real! his prayers were answered!
✎ yandere! writer who deludes himself into thinking you came for him, that you loved him just like he loved you. so he keeps you in his house, never allowing you to leave despite your protests.
✎ yandere! writer who eventually caves and allows you to go out, he has to come with you though. you complain and nag him, you came to this world to save it from a disaster! not to be locked away like some damsel in distress! your writer thinks otherwise though. even though he wrote you to be badass and for your novel to be action based.
✎ yandere! writer who prevents you from helping that train passenger who got shot by a tall and handsome cat human hybrid. oh... so it looks like you weren't the only creation that came to life. it looks like everything jumped out of the books... welp! time to head back home where the both of you will be safe! and just like that, bam, you got knocked out and he dragged you to his home where you'll stay forever.
✎ yandere! writer who locks you in his room, never allowing you to leave while an apocalypse goes on outside. you can't even escape, this man knows all of your weaknesses! he's your creator after all. all you can do is hope that some god takes pity on you and curses your creator to fall out of love with you. but I doubt that'll be happening anytime soon, your creator is the writer of this book too after all.
✎ "y/n! you can't go out! you'll die! you can't die! writing your first death in chapter 7 already made me more than traumatized! so just... just stay with me here, we'll be safe. I promise."

The Knife in You Brings Out the Life in Me - Danny Johnson x Reader
Masterlist
Prologue ~
Summary:
Y/n was never close with her cousin Billy and hadn’t seen him in years, but when he shows up at her roadside home, running from the law and with a Stu on his arm, she figures it’s best to let him stay. He wouldn’t.. gut her? Right? Best not take any chances! The real kicker, however, is when their inspiration - the real and original Ghostface - shows up. She has less faith he’ll let her live if she isn’t careful.
"How could this happen? Am I dreaming again? Her body's not moving I'm assuming she's dead"
- The Greatest Story Ever Told, Ice Nine Kills
———
"Fuck, Billy! What'd we do now?" Stu stressed, knife in hand, gesturing wildly.
"Well... our face is on every news station, too many people around here know who we are." Like Stu, Billy still wore his shitty dollar store Ghostface costume, albeit their masks were tossed off to the side. Both were covered in blood, Billy slightly more so, and Billy was trying to keep his cool while Stu made every effort to panic.
"Ok, so.. we need to lie low?"
"Exactly. I have a rich cousin who doesn't live far from here, but still pretty out of the way. She's a recluse, we won't be bothered there... assuming she'll take us in."
After pulling off their first couple murders scot free, Billy and Stu decided they couldn't let the thrill go. Of course it was going to bite them in the ass eventually, but how were they supposed to know karma is a cold hearted bitch? Welp! They sure do now...
Their latest victim managed to get away, and while she didn't see their faces, she was damn sure she knew the killers. The two slash happy teens had taken a hit at another one of their classmates who they weren't too fond of, and they got cocky. Gave a hint hint, wink wink, at who they were behind the masks to scare the poor victim into thinking she was going to get her guts spilled by the guys who sit across the classroom to her in chemistry. It's all part of the thrill!
Except this time the bitch got away and ran to the police.
Stu was quiet for a moment before another thought occurred to him. "What about... you know who..? How will he find us if we drop off the map?"
"For all we know Danny's watching us right now! He's probably laughing about us fucking up.. he'll find us or he won't, that's up to him. Right now we need to get out of dodge."
———
Danny Johnson. The original Ghostface. Billy and Stu thought they were funny copycatting such a famous psycho. He was their role model of sorts.
Things changed when good ol' Jed Olsen started being pally with Billy and Stu, though. He was older. Sort of came out of nowhere. Knew things he shouldn't have known.
At first the pair were worried he knew what they were up to and just needed confirmation before going to the police, but Jed seemed to find it more funny than anything. He had this energy about him that made them cautious.
One night they were getting ready to start stalking another future victim (Miss run-away-and-blab-to-the-police funnily enough) when they got a phone call.
"Do you like scary movies?" The familiar staticky voice had spoken. "Who am I kidding? Of course you do! Why else would you both be starring in one? The question is... are you really the predators? Or are you actually... the prey?" The line had gone dead a moment later.
But when they shared a slightly concerned glance and decided to continue to leave for their midnight hobby, they opened the door to see a matching - though much more pristine mask  - staring back at them.
The Ghostface at the door didn't wear a cheap, scraggly, dollar store Halloween costume like Billy and Stu. He wore thick, black, sturdy material with straps and combat boots. Ohhh fuuuuuck... this guy is serious.
Danny gave them a good scare and let them fear for their lives for a while. Danny's a better killer than them. More experienced. More ruthless, and far more premeditated. But despite planning on killing them at first (they stole his entire thing, they couldn't get away with it, Danny had been planning this for a while) in the moment, he saw potential in them. Also they were a good laugh.
From then on, Danny took them under his wing and turned up when he felt like it to guide them in stalking and nurture their talent for murder.
Danny wasn't typically the kind of guy to help out other killers, especially ones who steal his likeness, but these guys had the same raw psychopathy that Danny sees in himself. And also, what the hell, he gets bored, they buy him free meals, they treat him like a god, what's not love!
And so Billy and Stu met their hero and dedicated their time to someday be as great as him. (Danny knew they'd never live up to him, he can always kill 'em when they get boring).
But now they've fucked up. Their victim got away. Danny's laughing and hiding in a bush somewhere vowing to never let them live it down. And Billy and Stu are hitching a ride to Billy's cousins place, hoping y/n will look past the blood and murder and let them crash for a little while.
———
A/N: ok this is the prologue for my new fic! Now I know I've written fuck all in a long time, and I apologise to anyone who's been waiting on updates to my other fics if you've read any, but I've got to go where the inspiration takes me!
I hope you enjoyed this little intro and please leave a comment if you have any ideas!
Have a great day/night,

So... I watched Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End last night.
Okay, I've been watching the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise for the last couple of days. Mind you, I only watched the first three when I was a kid and couldn't remember much, so now watching them as an adult is a real treat. I absolutely adore Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Chest, but last night I watched At World's End and, sadly, I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated and disappointed with it because it was all over the place. It started off strong, then got a little bit stale, picked up again, and then went pfffft.
There was so much crammed into it, and I still feel like I learned nothing about what happened between Davy Jones and Calypso.
I understand that Cutler Beckett was using Jones’s heart as a bargaining chip to force him to do his bidding, but I don't understand why Beckett kept Davy Jones’ heart aboard The Flying Dutchman, Davy Jones's ship. Isn't that a plot hole or something? I know that Cutler Beckett has the whole British Navy behind him, but Davy Jones is a supernatural being who is nearly immortal. He could have potentially taken out the guards holding his heart hostage and retrieved it (thus nullifying Beckett’s power over him), or he could have gotten any (or all) of his many crew members to do so. I just don't know how a pompous asshat like Cutler Beckett made Davy Jones his little bitch.
Moving on, when they reveal that Tia Dalma is the goddess Calypso and free her from her human body, she just turns into a pile of crabs, and we don't see her again? Kinda disappointing considering that they built up this whole past lovers thing between her and Davy Jones.
And then they did James Norrington dirty by killing him off at the hands of Bootstrap Bill (Will's father), who seems to have dementia now even though he was fine in Dead Man's Chest. So he was basically useless. Captain Sao Feng was a new character they introduced, and he was barely in it, and they killed him off too. They also killed off Elizabeth's father, Governor Weatherby Swann, and she discovers that he's dead in the most heartbreaking way imaginable. And then they flat-out do Will and Elizabeth dirty too by having Davy Jones stab Will in the chest. To save his life, Jack gives Will Davy Jones's heart to stab and take his place as the new captain of The Flying Dutchman, allowing him to see Elizabeth only once every ten years!
Also, I'm just going to say it: Cutler Becket's death was weak sauce, and he deserved worse. I wanted blood for all that he did!
Sorry, I got a little salty there, you guys. I probably just need to let it sink in more. Despite all my grievances, I still enjoyed the movie nonetheless. It had a lot of funny moments.
Highlights: Captain Barbossa was just a delight; I can't help but smile when he's on screen. I love Davy Jones, especially the way he talks. Mr. Gibbs, Ragetti, and Pintel are also favorites of mine. Elizabeth becomes the pirate king and has Will's baby. And you bet your ass I love Jack Sparrow; he is such a fun and kooky guy. He's the reason why I wanted to watch these movies again, lol.
Final note: I've never seen On Stranger Tides or Dead Men Tell No Tales, so I'm really excited to watch those, and I hope they don't end up being disappointing like some others have said.
Welp, that's all I had on my mind.
