#yeah I'm a bit obsessed with that theory

[flappielxx123]

This brings me back to the many world theory (with every decision you make the universe splits/another reality opens) which means that there is certainly a reality it did happen

The Thing About that Unaired Kiss in “Hunters”

The thing about that kiss in “Hunters,” filmed but never aired, is that if it had aired as originally planned, every single episode after that point would have played out differently. Every single one. Every interaction between Janeway and Chakotay after that point, whether consciously romantic or not, would have had a subtext. To be honest, every interaction pretty much did have a subtext, which is why there were so many J/Cers in the first place. But after that point, the subtext would have been an acknowledged subtext rather than one we fans were reading into the scenes whether RB and KM were playing it that way on purpose or not.

Just think about that for a minute.

How different would “Unforgettable” have been if there had been a J/C relationship on top of it? How different would “Night” have been, and “Timeless,” and “Counterpoint?”

How much more powerful would “The Fight” have been if we knew, if it had been acknowledged instead of built up in our heads, that Janeway was asking her lover to possibly sacrifice his sanity to save them? And how much more moving his quiet and courageous acquiescence?

Would “Equinox” have brought them closer together, or would it have broken them?

Would “Fair Haven” and “Spirit Folk” even have happened, or would we have gotten a much more in-character holoprogram for the Captain? Maybe one in which she is a pirate queen, or an early 20th Century adventurer? Or a super hotshot WASP pilot in WWII, maybe one with a handsome lover in a different branch of the service?

Would the clasped hands on the Bridge in “Unimatrix Zero” have meant even more? Would “Shattered” have ended very differently?

Would the series have ended very differently?

I think about these things. I wonder, and I wish, and I think about these things.

There’s an alternate universe of stories to be told here, from the farce of the crew finding out one by one, to the drama of the moments that almost tore them apart for good, to the powerfully uplifting ending, in which they realize that their reliance on each other, their love and care for each other, kept them alive and sane and human in a part of the Universe that would have irrevocably changed them if they hadn’t had each other to keep them grounded and healthy.

So many possibilities.

Intriguing, isn’t it?

[egophiliac]

I'm trying to avoid getting spoiled so I haven't looked up what's happening in the Jp server's main story, but for my own sanity I need to ask; is the story at a point where we know whether Lilia will get better/survive his almost-empty magic reserves..? Was it a true death flag from the start or only a plot device for malleus' overblot....?

not yet! I do think they're going to get back to it eventually, but -- keeping it as low spoilers as possible -- there's been...let's just say a LOT going on in the meantime.

enjoy 7-6!!! :)

I am unreasonably upset about the fact that I've been forced to accept that Gabriel was a Gerald.

For context, in An Inspector Calls, Gerald Croft is engaged to Sheila Birling when he meets a homeless, struggling Eva Smith in a bar, and essentially in return for a home and money he shows her affection (ahem), then gets rid of her once he no longer has a use for her. Now, obviously this isn't a direct translation, but the essentials are - a Gerald is a character who uses another character, in return for something they need, usually masking the fact that they're using them with affection and love.

And against my will I've had to accept that this is exactly what Gabriel does to Nathalie.

Did I want to think he had potential to be better? Did I think he genuinely cared for Nathalie?? Hell, did I just really really want somebody to care about Nathalie???

Probably all of the above but the point is: he's Gerald. And I cannot - I literally can't unsee it now. Their whole dynamic in S3 is like “oh boohoo I'm sorry I wish you didn't have to use the peacock Miraculous and kill yourself over it but uh I need to use your powers” “yeah no that's fine I'm all good”. Which, given the "Gerald" theorem, I'm assuming leads to the fact that what Nathalie needed, above all, was someone to care about her - and Gabriel came along, as Sheila Birling puts it, "like a fairytale prince", and was so caring and gentle and... Yeah. She fell for him. And. Yeah he genuinely did seem to care like twice. But so did Gerald. Gerald actually admits that he did care for Eva, just not the way that she cared for him, and, uh, not enough to not just dispose of her. So he discards her anyway when she stops being useful.

Leading me neatly to my point.

He starts using the peacock Miraculous the second it's fixed, the slimy bastard, HOWEVER. It runs way deeper than that. Assuming I'm right (which I almost DEFINITELY am), then Gabriel only needed Nathalie while she was useful. She didn't stop being useful in season three - she's still scheming for him, helping him with plan after plan. It's only partway through season 5 that she officially servers ties with him, and starts to actively hinder him.

Nathalie stops being useful when she fails as Safari. And I reckon that's when Gabriel and Tomoe decided she had to go.

(It's painfully, I-was-ugly-crying-over-it obvious in Conformation that Gabriel is fully prepared to let Nathalie die - in the original storyboard, her alliance was encouraging her to sleep, and he's very obviously prepared for this moment - I've made a separate post about it that I'll link if I can find it. However, onto the next bit)

With all of this, there's one thing that sticks out to me - Nathalie didn't see any of it until it was already too late. There could be many reasons for this. But you know who would have seen through it? Whose parents were all loving and perfect until she married the wrong man? Emilie. Emilie, who left behind those videos, which on the surface look innocent, but when you look deeper look like a (love confession???????) AHEM a warning. I reckon Emilie noticed what was going on and realised that Nathalie wouldn't see through Gabriel, so she left those videos addressed to Nathalie (not Gabriel, which surely they should have been - they were about him, after all - unless they were there...) as a warning. I don't think the videos were supposed to be about helping Gabriel, I think Emilie was warning Nathalie to get the fuck out of that house, and to take Adrien with her. Because Emilie knew it'd end like this.

Yes I'm still mad ok give me a break.

NSFW Sevika HCs

𖢻 ~ ~ ~ 𖢻

A/n: i haven't written any smut in god knows how long so pls go easy yall 😭

𖢻 ~ ~ ~ 𖢻

This is a dom

I love indulging in the bottom!sevika content when i come across it, it's beautiful, showstopping

But bby, you only get to do what she lets you do. Even when she's on bottom, you're never really the one in charge, no matter how you might try to convince yourself

She's a terrible tease, and has an absolutely filthy mouth. Loves watching your jaw drop slightly when she whispers things in public, and how you scramble to gather yourself

Her self-control and patience is absolutely insane. She's not one to jump your pants at the first tease you give her.

She'll let you have her fun, all while running the tip of her tongue across a canine and plotting her revenge

Gets a big head/ego if you call her mommy. Nearly loses her mind and reputation for restraint if you call her daddy

A lot of her turn-ons are things that aren't inherently sexual. I like to think she's attracted to both masc and fem-presenting people, and anything leaning deeper into these characteristics will get a rise out of her.

Ex.'s -> watching you put on makeup in the mornings, specifically lipstick/gloss. Conversely, how your thighs look and your face hardens when you manspread while striking a deal. When you look up at her and rest your hands on her chest. When you lean back and rest your arm over the back of her chair

Particularly masculine and particularly feminine things. She eats up both

Absolutely a bit of a sadist/madochist. We know this from the whole cait thing

She's obsessed with your mouth in particular. The marks you leave, the shapes it makes with certain sounds she pulls from you, how your lips wrap around her fingers when she teases your mouth open with them

She rarely ever has you on your back because she wants to watch your tongue loll and your eyes roll

Goes crazy for certain things you say when you start to reach melted brain levels of fucked out; "baby, it's too much…" "Sevi, i can't keep going" "no, baby, no more…" it's like a second wave. And, (always) only with your emphatic consent, she'll proceed to push your body even more

Her favorite position is missionary i'm sorry lmfao. Vanilla in theory, but definitely doesn't feel like it when she's slinging that shimmerstrap LOL

I HC she's generally pretty gentle with you, at least lovesick!sevika is. In the sense that she's not tossing you around or slapping your ass purple.

Rather, she'll wrap her hand around your throat but not really squeeze. And she'll push her fingers down your throat until you're teary-eyed, but she won't fuck your throat until it's raw and sore.

She prefers using her hands and her mouth, but her strap game is insane. That stroke would be hypnotic to watch.

Her eyes read clearly when it comes to intimacy. The way they darken and narrow when she's about to pounce on you, and how they always get so glossy and self-satisfied (if not a bit smug) as she watches you cum.

Her crows feet crease as she smiles down at you, whispering "good job, baby" and "there's my girl, you're okay. I've got you."

Always insists on taking care of you afterwards, but won't fight you on it if you flip it on her and make her lay back so you can clean her up

In fact, please do this. She'll think about it for weeks

Cuddles you afterward like she's trying to burrow in your skin. Can't get enough of the smell of you post-sex, burying her nose in your neck and your hair

Yeah, she's never sharing you. Everything about you is too precious, too hers.

She demands hickeys/lipstick marks on her chest- over her heart- because your claim over her deepens her own.

[lenalenouilleisblogging]

There's something I've noticed recently, it weirded me out at first, but actually it makes sense. I've become less GNC since I've embraced radical feminism.

I say "embraced" radical feminism as in like, I've held radfem beliefs for more than 15 years but it's only in the last three years or so that I've decided to look into the theory and focus a lot of my free time on it. It has become a big part of my life.

Now don't get me wrong I still don't shave, and I still don't wear makeup, I never have.

But all my life, as a little autistic girl, a transmasc lesbian, and now a detrans lesbian, I rejected everything I deemed feminine on principle. It felt like a trap. It felt like a cage.

My mother didn't let me dress myself until quite late. As soon as I became old enough to take things into my own hands, I cut my hair short. I still remember the next day when I came to school. I was around 13 I think. The harassment I was already a victim of became way worse because of my hair, but I never regretted it.

As the years went by I gradually stopped wearing skirts and dresses, as well as jewellery. I also cut my hair shorter and shorter. I kept a buzzcut for almost ten years. As a kid/teen, I hated the color pink. I hated flower prints and frills. I hated romance fiction and "girly" music. It felt like what society wanted me to like, and I rejected it all because I was desperate to break free of the mold. As a teen as I put on weight and reached my adult shape, binding my chest became more and more difficult and painful... But to me it was better than the alternative.

Cut to now, I'll be 28 this year. I've never felt more free to just... Be myself. I let my hair grow out a bit and honestly it just looks way better on me lol. I wear jewellery from time to time, and I don't overthink it. My style of clothing isn't super feminine, but it's not something I think about. I'm just trying to be comfortable. I don't care if my cleavage shows. Yeah I hate that men look at it, but I shouldn't have to change MY behaviour. I'm just existing in the world, growing more and more misandrist every day 🤍

I was making myself crazy trying to go against expectations at all costs, I was overthinking everything and obsessing over every aspect of myself. I'm just natural now. No I don't leave the house with a loincloth and twigs in my hair, I just do what I like because this shit is all fake anyway. There's no such thing as femininity and masculinity. None of it matters. My time on Earth is limited and I'm not gonna spend it caring about how I'm perceived because of aesthetic choices.

I know that no matter how hard I tried to fight it, I have been socialized a certain way since birth. But I can't keep making myself sick over it. If I have a daughter one day, I'll do everything in my power to do better by her. As for me, what's done is done and I can't keep hating myself forever. Yeah I'm a woman, yeah some things I like are stereotypically associated with womanhood/girlhood. What's important is that I'm aware of how the world shaped me, aware of what it all means (and doesn't mean) for me and other women.

I'm exactly like other women, because women are just human beings who happened to be born female. It's the one thing we have in common. No matter how I live, I'll die a woman. I might as well enjoy the ride as much as possible. I love myself and I love y'all.

[lazykirksblog]

While I'm active; I've recently let my favorite artists convince me to at last watch Re-Animator and it was amazing. Can't really talk about it irl I'm already forcing a friend to watch TOS, hopefully she's been enjoying it but hum, I took pity on her.

SO, a call for anyone wanting to talk to me about the movies I'm really interested !! And if you have any recommendations for other movies or even books I might enjoy I'm totally here for it

BTW my style is so inconsistent it's a joke atp :'), but I'm really glad of how this little one turned out ! I went in it not expecting much honestly, just doodling and I think it IS because for once I wasn't putting so many expectations on one drawing that it turned out so well. Gotta try creating for the joy of it... maybe

To talk a little bit more about the drawing itself... yeah, this is just how I imagine Herbert deciding to go talk about his theories to Dan when the insomnia hits at like, 2 am, and Dan, just, accepting it.

IDK, felt like such an intimate, familiar setting, I'm obsessed with how it turned out — AAAH

Andre Nikto head canons

We have little information about Niko but here's what I've gathered..

((Also I'd like to kindly add, hi, hello, my name is Mika and I am a Bosnian. The chances of me adding some accurate slav head canons are always high but never low!!🙏🏻 ALSO IM TERRIBLY OBSESSED WITH NIKTO SO IF ENJOY THIS AND YOU WANT DATING NIKTO HEAD CANONS PLEASE LET ME KNOWWW))

Genuine head canons:

Andre Nikto (Никто) is a (scary) Russian military man, roughly 193/194 centimetres (when you compare him to Simon's height) He suffers with acute dissociative disorder (better said DID) yet is still serving the military cause of how he preforms during battle.., so the military still views him as a ideal soldier for combat despite his disorder..

No hate but from what I've seen in some art works claiming it's his "face reveal" you people have to understand that under his mask, his face is disfigured.. so, no he won't be an attractive super model under that mask of his..

I don't think you people are aware how badass Nikto is as a character, almost SIMILAR as Ghost who's in the military for the same reason as everybody else, to risk their life.

Although judging by Nikto's voice lines, he doesn't care who he's killing..if it were up to him, if his teammates serve him zero purpose he'd care less if they die..(after all, you're just a target..) but being a professional, he can't allow that to happen to his teammates

If you look up closely, Nikto wears a military uniform that is different from everyone else with MP-0 written on it. Now if you don't know, MP stands for Military Police (enforcement agencies connected with, or part of, the military of a state.) and zero next to it meaning "nothing" and this is important which is what Nikto refers himself as..

Yeah so about that..

I have a theory about Nikto's nickname

After being captured and brutally tortured with whatever sick tendency mister Z had in store for him. It was Mister Z that couldn't really get much Information about Andre.

They would start torturing him while repeating to Andre that he's nothing, he's no one, what he is is nothing but what he is is everything. Those words play in the back of his head and they never seen to go away.

(This is extremely relevant cause Mister Z tried to get to know a bit of Andre by looking through some research come to find his citizenship and language are censored making him a nobody. Keep in mind, if he found any information about Andre viewing from personal life etc. it will be used as blackmail..)

After recovering his scars and taken to therapy after 7 years he was diagnosed with DID

NOW moving on to the DID part

(What I said about the fact that people overlook Nikto's disorder, I mean it..

Some don't really write about his disorder which is fine but when someone does it gets messy. )

Alters aren't easy to deal with, it's actually gonna haunt you till the day that you die cause there's no cure for it. And in Nikto's case it's from PTSD and Nikto is very aware of his alters..

Let me tell you how Nikto's disorder affects him. Switching can be consensual, forced or triggered, Nikto values silence as much as the next person cause he's dealing with much inside his head already. The kind of guy that would "watch TV" while dissociating with a 100 yard glare with very slow blinking and a slight headache..

There are times where his personalities would correct him when hes referring to himself (example: I'm up..(his personality correctes him) WE'RE up..)

"He made us do this" (and other voice lines I can't recall..)

Maybe cut bits of an apple with a knife and eat it while watching TV..

He has medication prescribed for him but he didn't wanna depend on medications cause they're just drugs..they're nothing to him but just drugs..

He has dissociative amnesia too, sometimes he would wander around confused maybe even annoyed. The amnesia appears to be caused by traumatic or stressful experiences endured or witnessed..Although the forgotten information may be inaccessible to consciousness, it sometimes continues to influence behavior

Like I said he likes quiet people, someone who doesn't waste their air on small talk..

Example; don't really talk to him about the weather, unless you have something interesting to say but if the conversation is gonna go nowhere , don't talk..he finds that a waste of time

People assume just because he's Russian that he likes vodka, he doesn't like vodka...-He doesn't like any alcoholic beverage cause it makes his problems a lot worse,...maybe If you were lending him some as an offering, he'll take it but he has SOME self control, he's okay with coffee, though..

It's relevant cause he stays awake at late hours since he finds it difficult to sleep, he'll stay up late with no music, nothing, just a silent room. It doesn't matter if he tries the military tactic where you just close your eyes and turn off your thoughts, it's very different when you have voices screaming inside your head...

Despite everything he's still intelligent, so being smart + strength + sharp reflexes and you got yourself a criminal

Death doesn't phase him, but to him death is like sleeping, he's not scared of death considering that he's been through hell those past few months.

He likes the simple things, don't complicate anything..because he's quick with catching an attitude..be blunt and forward and stumble over your words..

Nikto shows confidence in the battlefield,just like König, except he has a high rush of adrenaline and will laugh at the enemies death.

Fun fact: in this one comic Price calls Nikto "psycho"

And it's without a doubt that he is one.., a sadistic, sociopathic, psychopath

After splitting, his alters can and will get more aggressive and do more harm and damage to others cause they're doing the most at protecting the host.. (depending on the alter, some wanna protect him while some wanna hurt him)

Oh by the way about the intelligence part, I mean he has a good good memory with remembering faces..

He doesn't like people looking at him funny, he'll get angry really fast and annoyed at the same time.., he won't show hesitation when it comes to approaching you and asking you what are you looking at (it's like trying to avoid eye contact with a homeless man Infront of a store, that's how scared you would be)

He's slow with jokes or any form of humor that you throw at him??? You'll be excited to tell him a joke, and when you do he just looks at you and tells you never to do that again..,or just straight up tell you he doesn't get it...??? and probably trying to explain it either he gets it or not he'll still tell you that it's not funny

He doesn't argue, or he does? Arguing with him will costs you avoiding getting objects thrown at you so you can get out of his sight..tragic, now you have a teammate that hates your guts and won't apologize for it.

I'm obsessed with shen yuan being shen jiu's reincarnation for so many reasons

- finding out would lead to many mental breakdowns

- shen yuan being a born hater is suddenly explained

- shen yuans and shen jiu's personalities are actually very similar when you take away external factors:

Shen yuan is a hater and tends to do before thinking, especially if that's insults, so does shen jiu

Shen yuan gets oddly obsessed with things, so does shen jiu

possiveness in shen jius case would be learnt behavior from having nothing, which I can easily imagine shen yuan doing the same if he grew up with nothing (which he very much didn't experience having been second gen rich kid, which even having at the very least material things, he still shows signs of posseviness with Luo binghe at times, and again, even with his internalized homophobia!)

Being weird with relationships, im not elaborating

Trust issues brought on from ASSUMPTIONS, these motherfucks assume so much! And I can't even blame them because their assumptions make so much sense in the context they're given! But give it a bit more thought alongside action outside of just asking since they clearly love men who struggle to communicate (well done binghe for growing in that aspect) so thats just a no go

So much more tbh, and I'm not even doing this in a theory way because these two being parallels is probably (don't quote me on this coz I actually love this theory but also don't care enough to defend it in any way and them being parallels is a kinda gut wrenching shit I need lol) more canon accurate, with like everything that I'm not gonna get into rn or I'm gonna cry so sue me (don't actually, I'm broke)

But yeah I love this concept smm!! Which I find funny coz I'm a scumcum lover, sy is sj child/sibling/twin/parent/disciple/shizun/probably more, and I dunno what that says about me nor do I care 😙

Edit: also sqq(j/y) hating himself and not realising it is a different kind ironic I can't quite explain except to say its so amazingly angsty to a point is goddam hilarious

[alvfr]

hey I saw you're open to requests and I'm so obsessed with your "Accidents" series with Hotch x Reader! I totally get you're taking a break from it atm so feel free to ignore but I'd love a drabble or whatever you're comfortable writing/sharing from the series? Maybe like a snapshot of when they were still figuring things out before they crossed that line or became established.

Thanks so much!

A/N: Aah, it's been so long since I've written for Hotch so I hope I managed something at least. I really tried to keep this short-ish and more of a drabble, but yeah, this would be set after the shower-scene in "Elevators" but before the bonus-part, I guess. Not super exciting maybe, but good practice for me. cw: none? sfw. awkward phone call. fem bau!reader, no use of y/n, part of "accidents" wc: 1.3k

Call me maybe

The first time Hotch called you was around eight in the evening, the day after your team got back from the conference in Florida. While you could not say you had been expecting it — a pessimistic part of you always expected the worst case scenario — your body told a different tale. Every inch of you had buzzed with anticipation since you stepped foot in your own apartment. Making sure to keep your phone charged and unmuted for a change, going as far as keeping it within sight when taking a shower and still checking it religiously every few minutes in case you had missed something. 

You argued with yourself, scolding yourself for waiting around like a lovesick schoolgirl and then berating yourself for doubting his word in the first place. He had said he would call and Hotch did not lie so why were you getting so worked up? 

When the day dragged on, without even paperwork to distract yourself with, you spiraled into increasingly worse scenarios as to why he had not called. He had been called into work, he had lost his phone, he had forgot his charger, he was discovered he was under surveillance by some shady government officials. Or something had happened to him, or to someone he cared about, or something had happened to both him and someone he cared about. Or, and this was simultaneously the best and worst one, he had changed his mind.

So when the call came that night, you had worked yourself into a bit of a frenzy and jumped at the sound of your own ring tone. The display glowed with the name 'A. Hotchner' and you forgot all about basic human behavior, like blinking or even breathing. 

It rang three times before your body bypassed your meddlesome mind and you picked up with the standard greeting of your last name, just in case he was under surveillance somehow. A theory that gained traction with every loaded second where you could not hear anything from the other side.

“Hotch?” you asked and held the phone out to check if the call was still active. In your state, you would not have been all that surprised to find if you had hallucinated the whole thing. “You there?”

“Yes.” The smooth sound of his voice sent rivers of idyll into your veins while your heart threatened to pound out of your skull. “Sorry. Hi.”

A stupid grin overtook your face and you twirled the still-connected charger cable with your fingers before catching yourself. Dropping the cable, you cleared both your throat and face. “Hi.” 

“Hi. Sorry, is this a bad time?”

“No, it’s good.” 

You tried to avoid looking at the mess of your apartment, all chores neglected for the day in case you wound up missing his call. In truth, you’d drop everything in a heartbeat and come over if he asked, although you had no idea where he lived. 

“I mean, I can talk?” You winced at how you had managed to phrase it as a question and cleared your throat again. “What’s up?”

And the award for worst conversationalist goes to this girl right here, you thought with a hefty roll of your eyes. What’s up? What were you, fourteen years old and trying to impress your friend’s older brother?

“Not much,” Hotch admitted from his side of the line and you thought you could detect a hint of gratitude in there. “Just finished up some overdue paperwork.”

“San Joaquin county?” you guessed, knowing without a doubt how much paperwork that case still generated. 

“Parts of it, yes. There’s also the budgets, protocols and various administration memos I’m forced to have an opinion on.” A slight pause and you caught a slight intake of breath on his side. “I didn’t call to talk about work.”

You forced yourself to keep your breaths slow and controlled instead of shivering as you knew they’d be. “Okay.”

“How are you?” The tenderness in his voice wreaked havoc with your inner organs and you could imagine his expression. The tilt to his eyebrows that matched the tilt of his jaw where he looked up, resting his eyes on whatever was near the ceiling to the left of him. “You get home okay?”

“Safe and sound. You?”

“All in one piece.” 

A silence stretched on for an uncomfortable few heartbeats and you wracked your brain for something worthwhile to say. It was uncharted territory to talk to him casually like this. No time crunch forcing you to keep the small talk to a minimum and no risk of getting caught forcing you to speak in code. Neither did your forte lay in phone calls and, as the profiler you were, you wished you could have had his facial expressions and mannerisms to reveal more of his thoughts during the conversation. The same probably went for him, you realized and it made you breathe a little easier.

“What did you think of the conference?” he asked just as you were about to say something completely different.

“Uh…” Your brain did a full reboot to no avail. “Are you asking about the actual conference or—”

“The actual conference,” he clarified and you thought you could hear the smile in his voice. “Did you catch the mass-shooting response training?”

“I did and it was okay, I guess, even if it felt a little dated.” You wandered around in your apartment, needing to get rid of the built-up excess energy. “Doesn’t this count as work talk though?”

“You’re right. Sorry, I’m,” you heard something brushing against the microphone, maybe him dragging a hand over his forehead, “not very good at this. I, uh, wanted to call to reiterate that I fully understand if you’ve changed your mind about this.”

“I haven’t.”

The words came out faster than you had anticipated, some part of you determined to deny him any possibility of doubt. 

“I’m really glad you called, Hotch.” You did a few test-runs at yourself in the mirror and corrected yourself to: “Aaron.”

“Good. I’ve been working up the nerve to do so for the past hour.”

Again, you could imagine his expression. The slight secretive smile, his head now tilted downward, exposing more of his neck to the room.

“Well, I’ve been waiting for it since I got home last night.” You tried to match his unabashed honesty, the need to convince him that you wanted this still present. “If that makes you feel any better.”

“A little,” he murmured and you could almost feel how he settled in wherever he was, maybe lounging back against the couch or chair, getting comfortable and the phone scratched again as he shifted it around. “What kind of movies do you like?”

The question blindsided you and you blinked at your own reflection in the mirror. “Uh, I’m omnivorous really. Why?”

“I’m looking through the show times for Friday night. I was hoping you would like to go see a movie with me, if we don’t get a case.”

“Oh.” Your stupid grin returned tenfold and you absentmindedly twirled the charging cable again. “Well, then I really like the movie that is playing this Friday night.”

In the end, you settled for a title and time, both of which would be rescheduled over and over again because of a case getting in the way. It took you a month to go see a movie together, but it did not really matter. By then, you had talked on the phone every night you were off a case (and sometimes he called you from a hotel room that were just a few doors down the hall from yours to say good night when you were on a case.) A torturous slow pace, maybe, but well worth it in your opinion.

This is strange and specific but could you write a fic about Changbin having pollen allergies as spring starts and he gets embarrassed when someone (not neccessarily a member) points out that (ADORABLE) little scrunch thing he does with his nose when it's itchy 😭❤️ then the members kind of laugh at how cute he is and he gets even more shy lol

He does it 9 times out of 10 when he's just about to sneeze and also just in general when he's itchy and I think it's so fucking cute so could you write a fluffy, sneezy allergy fic for Changbin where the members look after him and stop him being embarrassed? Tysm 🫶

Also feel free to use my account for references lol because I'm obsessed with this man 😭💕

Okay, so I am absolutely in love with the nose scrunch 😭 it’s so cute???? So I definitely had to emphasise that quite a bit in this fic hehe.

Life has been rough the past few weeks so I really craved something fluffy, funny and sweet soooo this came to life🤌🏽

Sickie: Changbin

____________________________________________

Changbin despised spring.

Well, the season itself was fine. The weather warmed up, the days got longer, and people generally seemed to be in a better mood. In theory, it was nice.

But in practice? It was one big nightmare.

The moment Changbin stepped outside the dorm that morning, he immediately knew it was going to be a long day.

The sun was shining, the birds chirping and the air felt undeniably thick with the mixed scents of blossoming flowers. It was a beautiful day to most, but Changbin could already feel the all too familiar tickle in his nose as the pollen spores infiltrated his sinuses.

Even though he had taken his medication, he knew there was no way to truly avoid his symptoms during the height of springtime. He simply had to endure it while his sinuses turned into a battered battleground, just like every other year. 

By the time they arrived in the studio to get ready for an interview, his nose was already tickling persistently, and his eyes felt just a little too watery. He snuffled quietly, pressing his knuckle against the tip of his nose to try and ease the discomfort, but it didn’t do much.

The dressing room was its usual chaotic mess of makeup artists, stylists and members moving in and out, preparing for their shoot. Changbin sat in his chair, trying not to fidget too much as a stylist ran her fingers through his hair, adjusting the strands so they fell just right.

As soon as the stylist was satisfied, a familiar makeup artist stepped forward and started working on his face. Changbin did his best to sit still, but he couldn’t help squirming uneasily. His eyebrows kept furrowing as he tried to suppress the itching in his nose, his eyes.. His entire face at this point, really.

“Changbin-ah..” The makeup artist chided gently, pausing midmotion. “You need to stay still.” She tutted, adjusting the beauty sponge in her hand before continuing to blend his foundation.

“Sorry.” Changbin mumbled sheepishly, clearing his throat as he forced his body to stay still. He pressed his lips together, fingers curling against his thighs in an attempt to ground himself. 

“Are you okay?” Her voice softened, and her gaze lingered on him with quiet concern. She must have noticed the redness rimming his eyes, or the persistent sheen of tears that seemed to linger within them. 

“Yeah.. just allergies.” Changbin replied with a sigh, sniffling again for emphasis. He could feel the itch traveling, teasing at the back of his throat and throughout his airways. 

The makeup artist hummed softly, focusing back on her task. “Ah.. Springtime must be tough for you, hm?”

“You have no idea.” Changbin groaned, his voice tinged with frustration. He watched idly as she moved her hands to her belt, pulling up a wide brush and a powder compact. 

She chuckled sympathetically, her hands steady as she leaned in and gently started dabbing the powder across his skin. The light pressure from the sponge had been fine, but the moment she dusted the brush of powder near his nose, the once small tickle spread through his sinuses like wildfire.

Instinctively, he wrinkled his nose in a subconscious attempt to chase the itch away, his breath hitching. 

Unfortunately for him, it didn’t work. 

“Hh’tssCH!” 

The makeup artist froze, and for a split second, Changbin was worried he’d ruined her work. But then she let out a delighted gasp, her hands clasping together in excitement. 

“Oh my god. That was so cute!”

Changbin blinked up at her, completely stunned by the unexpected reaction. “What?”

“You do this little scrunch thing with your nose before you sneeze! It’s soooo cute!”

Immediately, Changbin stiffened, his stomach plummeting to the floor as he realised what she was on about.

“No, it’s not-”

“It is!” She insisted, spinning toward the stylist beside her, who was busy working on Felix’s hair. “Did you see that? The cute thing he did with his nose? Oh- look! He’s doing it again!”

Of course, she had to point it out just as the itch flared up unbearably. He sniffed sharply, his nose wrinkling on its own accord as he fought another sneeze. 

It was a losing battle.

“Hh’tssCHh! Hhh’KTTSCHH’uh!” 

Changbin barely managed to duck his head, stifling the rapid sneezes into his cupped hands as warmth rushed into his cheeks. 

The moment she called attention to it, it was game over for him. He knew that all too well. 

Hyunjin's head immediately snapped towards them from the other side of the room, like a bloodhound catching a scent. “Wait, what? What did he do?” 

Felix, who was seated to his right, narrowed his eyes at him through their shared mirror as if he was searching for evidence. “Wait, I didn’t see it. Do it again!”

“N-No?!” Changbin blurted out quickly, eyes widening. He blinked rapidly, desperately trying to clear the stinging, irritated sensation, but it was no use.

“Do what again?” Jisung asked as he rose from the couch in the back, his interest piqued. Lee Know wordlessly trailed after him as he stepped forward, his expression equally as expectant.

“Changbin scrunches his nose like a little bunny before he sneezes!” The makeup artist announced proudly, as if she had just uncovered the greatest secret of the universe. “It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen..”

Changbin groaned, sinking lower in his seat as if he hoped the chair would swallow him whole. He could already feel his ears burning, and the increasing attention wasn’t helping his case in the slightest. “I… I-It’s not a thing.”

“No, no, it definitely is.” Chan interjected, his grin carrying a mischievous glint as he caught Changbin’s eye in the mirror. “I’ve seen it before. I just never realised how cute it was until now.”

“It’s not cute!” Changbin protested, shifting uncomfortably under their relentless scrutiny. His lips pulled into an involuntary pout, and he absentmindedly rubbed at his nose again in an attempt to quell the tenacious itch.

“Hold on, I need to see this.” Seungmin perched his chin on Jisung's shoulder, having left his seat beside Chan to join in on what felt like an act of public humiliation at this point.

Changbin gawked at him in disbelief, eyes wide. “Wha- no-what? There’s nothing to see!” His voice cracked slightly, and he nervously chewed on his bottom lip as he felt the heat spread across his cheeks. Why were they all so insistent on this?

Jisung, grinning from ear to ear, nudged Seungmin with his elbow. “You think if we talk about pollen or something, he’ll do it again?” 

“Probably..” Seungmin mused, tilting his head in mock contemplation. “The power of suggestion.”

“Guys, stop–”Changbin said, his voice rising in protest, but it was too late. 

As if on cue, his nose twitched and scrunched up again. Not followed by a sneeze this time, but it was just barely avoided. 

The room practically exploded.

“OH MY GOD! THAT WAS ADORABLE!” Hyunjin shrieked, his hand clutching onto his chest as if he had just witnessed a life altering event. He seemed to have teleported across the room to join the group encircling Changbin's chair. 

Felix threw his head back as he let out a delighted laugh, holding a hand to his stomach. “I CAN’T! Oh my god, Binnie- why is that so cute?!”

“I feel like I just witnessed something sacred...” Jisung said dramatically, wiping a fake tear from his eye as he leaned back into Seungmin for support.

Lee Know nodded with exaggerated solemnity. “Yeah, this moment ought to be cherished.” He said sagely, though the smirk on his face betrayed his amusement as he watched Changbin wither away under the weight of his own embarrassment.

“It really is like a little bunny!” Felix gasped in awe between bouts of laughter, and the others quickly followed suit with an eruption of giggles, coos and agreements. The staff seemed to be just as humoured by the situation as his members, much to Changbin's dismay.

Hyunjin was practically tripping on his feet with excitement, whipping his phone up from his pocket and pointing it directly at the red faced man who was held captive in his chair.

“I need this documented.” The dancer stated, his eyes locked on Changbin as he stared at him through the camera. “Pretty please, Binnie? Just one more time?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Come on, just think about pollen again.” Seungmin teased, crossing his arms over his chest with a taunting expression. God, Changbin wanted to wipe that smug smirk right off his face.

Changbin shot Seungmin a glare that was supposed to be fierce, but the effect was entirely lost. His red, watery eyes and the way he kept sniffling every other second robbed him of any intimidation he might have had. 

Safe to say, hay fever didn’t render him a very threatening sight. 

“I will fight you.”

But just as the challenge left his lips, the inevitable happened. As the itch rushed through his sinuses, his nose scrunched up once more, completely out of his control. 

Hyunjin must have gasped loud enough to be heard into the next room, undoubtedly capturing the moment with his phone camera. “OH MY–”

“That was the best one yet!” Jisung wheezed, turning around to grip onto Seungmin's arm for support as he doubled over with laughter.

Seungmin cackled out that evil laugh of his, giving Changbin a light slap on the back. “Oh, this is incredible.”

Lee Know leaned in to peer at Hyunjin's phone screen with a sly smirk. “I’m gonna need that in slow motion.”

“Put it in a loop!” Jeongin chimed in, bubbling with laughter as he hovered beside them. 

Changbin groaned, burying his face in his hands and slouching forward in defeat. “I hate you all.” 

“No, you don’t.” Jeongin snorted softly, clearly revelling in Changbin’s discomfort a little too much for his liking. Damn him.

Changbin looked up at their maknae with a deadpan expression, sighing deeply with a mixture of exasperation and resignation. 

He was right. He didn’t. 

Felix, noticing just how mortified Changbin was, softened his gaze. He reached out for a box of tissues, grabbing a couple and handing them over to the sniffly rapper. “Aww, Binnie, don’t be embarrassed” he said softly, offering him a warm smile. “We just think you're cute~”

“Yeah, we’re just teasing.” Chan supplied, extending his arm out to give Changbin’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “We’re not trying to make fun of you, really.”

The room died down from the burst of laughter, leaving only a few small chuckles between the lot of them. 

Chan’s expression shifted, his eyes flickering between the clock on the wall and Changbin. “More importantly, how are you feeling? Are you going to be okay for the interview?”

Changbin hesitated, a little taken aback by the sudden shift from teasing to concern. He still felt congested, his sinuses throbbing and the faint tickle was steadily getting more invasive... but it was just allergies.

Besides, he wasn’t entirely miserable yet, just annoyingly flustered to top it all off.

“Yeah, I’ll be fine.” Changbin mumbled, dabbing at his nose with a tissue as he considered it. Then, he doubled over, pressing his face into the tissue as his shoulders tensed again.

“Hh’TSCHH! Hhh’CHUUh!”

This time, there was actually no laughter or amused teasing. Instead, Changbin felt hands patting his back soothingly and Felix giving his thigh a gentle squeeze. 

After a brief silence, Hyunjin couldn't keep himself from letting out a soft “Aww.”

“No.” Changbin raised his finger at him in warning, snuffling softly as he wiped his nose again. “Don’t start.”

“I wasn’t going to say anythi-“

“We can ask for a short delay if you need a minute.” Lee Know cut in sharply, squinting his eyes at Hyunjin as he silently told him off.

Changbin huffed out a small chuckle, shaking his head dismissively. “No, I’ll be okay, promise.” He reassured, managing a faint smile as he straightened up again. He was a little touched by their sudden sincerity. They weren’t just teasing him, after all, they genuinely cared. “But…thanks guys, really”

“Don’t mention it.” Chan pat his shoulder one last time before settling back in his chair. “Alright everyone, let’s get the hair and makeup wrapped up, we’re supposed to start in under 5 minutes.” 

As the others scurried back to their seats, Jeongin stepped forward to hand Changbin a water bottle, his lips still carrying an amused smile despite the thoughtful gesture. “Here, at least drink something before we go in. You sound a little stuffy..” 

Changbin took the bottle with a small, grateful smile, feeling a warmth spread through his chest. Even with all the teasing, he knew his members always had his back. “Thanks, Innie.” 

“We’ll cover for you if you need us to, but you already know that.” Felix assured him casually, his smile ever so warm and comforting.

Changbin nodded softly and took a sip of his water, peering back up at his designated makeup artist with a mix of bashfulness and anticipation. 

Despite the attention and teasing his little nose scrunch had garnered, Changbin couldn’t bring himself to be mad at her for inadvertently causing the ruckus. She clearly hadn’t meant any harm by it.

Instead, he leaned back in his chair and tried to relax his shoulders, giving her a small smile. “You’ll make me look presentable at least.. Right, noona?”

The makeup artist, clearly unfazed by the earlier scene, met his gaze with a sly grin. She was already rifling through her supplies again, preparing for a quick but precise touch-up. 

“Of course, Changbin-ah.” She replied naturally, her voice full of confidence. “Your allergies are no match for my skills.”

Regarding Gerald in Sonic 3

(SPOILERS!!)

I've been thinking about how Gerald Robotnik was depicted in the third Sonic movie, and I have some observations.

I'm sure some fans have been comparing Gerald as shown in the film versus the games and taken note of not only how much sillier he is in the movie, but also how he's depicted as being considerably more villainous.

There are a couple things to consider though. In the games (especially since Shadow Generations) the majority of what we see of Gerald is from before the tragedy on the ARK and losing Maria, and we only get brief bits of him after he lost his sanity.

However in the movie it's the exact opposite situation. Almost everything we see of Gerald in the film is after Maria's death and he's clearly lost his sanity. Not only that, but because Gerald in the film never got executed, he spent many decades in a prison cell, stewing in his despair and rage, becoming more and more bitter and deranged while also extending his lifespan to an unnatural length by dosing himself with chaos energy from Shadow's quill.

But you might say, "Gerald in the movie only saw Shadow as a tool and didn't love him." While there's evidence of that being true in the present day, there's little to suggest that's the case in the very brief bit we see of Gerald in the flashback he's shown in before Maria's death. I personally think Gerald did have a fondness for Shadow before the tragedy, likely through observing Maria's close friendship with him. When Gerald retrieves Maria and Shadow to flea the facility he refers to them both collectively as "children", meaning he possibly had a similar fondness for both of them. I think that after Maria's death though, Gerald's slipping sanity, disillusionment with humanity, and obsession with avenging Maria's death, probably made him lose sight of the love he once had for Shadow.

And there is even evidence of the same thing happening in the games, with Gerald treating Shadow as little more than a tool for his posthumous plan for genocidal vengeance, which would have ended with Shadow's death too. Gerald even tampered with Shadow's memories of Maria to ensure he'd carry out his plans.

There's also evidence in the games of Gerald having an ego similar to Eggman's, shown by him modeling the ARK to resemble his face. Gerald even sheepishly confessed in his journal he was being self indulgent when designing the ARK. So it would seem in the games Gerald does possess at least some of the negative traits shared with his grandson, though he's self aware of these flaws and tries to suppress them. Gerald in the movie however is at a point where he's way past caring, since he's already decided to destroy the earth and everyone on it, so he's just letting his freak flag fly. lol

So if Gerald hadn't been executed in the games, who knows how he might have turned out. Gerald being executed was probably a mercy, really...

And it should also be noted that Sega themselves even considered resurrecting Gerald as a villainous character in the early production of Shadow's solo game.

That actually brings me to another thing I was thinking about while watching the movie. In Sonic 3, they repeatedly emphasize how similar Eggman and Gerald are in appearance, quirks, skills, and even wearing near identical outfits at the end. Sonic even collectively refers to them both as "Eggmen".

This stood out to me because it reminded me of the Rush games where Eggman teamed up with Eggman Nega, a character that was near identical to Eggman, but having a greying mustache and a darker, more twisted personality.

As I've mentioned in previous posts, I've had a theory that the scrapped plot point of resurrecting Gerald as a villain is what led to the creation of the Eggman Nega character. So seeing Gerald as depicted in the movie was like seeing it all come full circle. lol

But anyway, yeah, this has been another stream of consciousness rant from me. Maybe you got something out of this, or maybe not. Oh well. lol

And just to make myself clear, I am NOT trying to argue that Gerald is a bad person in the games (at least before Maria died). If what I said came across like that, then I'm sorry, but that was definitely not my intention.

Danny's phanclub

Chapter 2

First

On december 13th. 15 year old Angie Sage invited 12* year old Dani Masters to her bedroom at *redacted*

Angie: So you know how Phantom can scream loud enough to shatter buildings?

Dani: I thought you lived in the suburbs.

Dani wonders how her friend gets through the cluttered hallway without being intangible.

A: I'm with dad this weekend. It's better this way. He lets me do what I want as long as I have protection.

This catches Dani of guard, and she looks at Angie puzzled.

Angie, however, just lifts her hoodie to reveal an empty holster.

A: There's no need at home. I think the scream has to do with how he died, too.

There was a strange feeling swirling around in Dani's stomach. One she didn't quite recognize. One that got louder and louder with every box labeled evidence and the 6 whole conspiracy boards they passed.

A: If he died screaming, presumably for help, it makes sense that it would have stuck with him.

When they reached Angie's room, Dani realized what that feeling was. The window was boarded up, every wall looked like a morbid scrapbook, and a single light bulb hung from a chain.

D: Tell me the truth, are you a serial killer?

Angie chuckled a bit. But notably didn't answer.

A: This wall is only facts, no theories. This one here is the same evidence and what each one can elude to. The third one is evidence that has not yet been fact checked. The theories go here.

Angie points to a double-sided corkboard on wheels, similar to the one she had before. Except that this one is much more worn out. They must have an even bigger corkboard, twine, and newspaper budget than Vlad. Not sure who wins for most obsessive, though.

A: There's this myth that if you scream loud enough on a snowy mountain, it'll cause an avalanche. It's impossible for a human to scream that loud, but if he was in an avalanche or some other mountain related danger, the natural reaction is to try to scream for help.

D: And what's this one for?

Dani gestures to the 4th wall. Like the others, it's covered in newspapers, printed out pictures, and has been markered all over. But this one also has other things like ribbons, stickers, and a few stuffed animals pined up. And a big chest on the floor in front of it.

A: That one's not related. Mom says my room has to have stuff to "prove I exist," so I agreed to have one wall for personal things. And, uhm, oh yeah. Snow is a really effective insulator. So if you're buried under a bunch of snow and try to scream, it won't help.

D: And the chest?

A: Sleeping bag, clothes, shoes. There are certain things that increase the risk of hypothermia. Such as homelessness, high blood alcohol level, low blood sugar, anorexia, old age, injuries, and blood loss. We can exclude old age. There's nothing to suggest whether or not he'd been drinking, but the other things.

Dani has known plenty of strange people. It's for the best. Oddballs are less likely to notice her own oddness. But this feels different.

A: He's extremely thin. He's always talking about how his parents can't catch him, and he's constantly getting into fights. It's not like you would just suddenly start getting into fights after you die... that is, unless you died violently.

Hi! I'm glad to see someone who is obsessed with claudia × ut too because not many people are fond of this ship, its really difficult to ship this two tho cause the only thing we have of claudia is a picture of her back lol and I doubt that we will get any info on her any soon) but yeah I reallyyyy enjoy your theories and how detailed they are. I don't even care if they turn out to be canon or not , they are always enjoyable to read and think about❣️if u dont mind can I ask you to tell me some of your favourite headcanons for undy and claudia? ( spicy ones specially 🥴)

Hi! You're so sweet anon, you made my day when you sent this ask... Like a month ago 💀

I'm so glad you're enjoying my theories even if they don't turn out to be true! I really enjoy researching and writing them and I'm so happy that other people are interested in them. The only one I will truly mind being debunked is the Rossignol name theory...I really hard-committed on that one and if it turns out not to be true my blog will be a big ol' perpetual walk of shame.

Some headcanons about Claudia and Undertaker and Claudiataker;

Undertaker makes and gives her the Phantomhive family ring sometime after she gives birth to Vincent.

Undertaker advises her, but he never tries to tell her what to do. He's her biggest supporter - as long as she lets him tag along to protect her, he'll go along with pretty much anything. Claudia was initially pretty defensive about her decisions, but once she realized he was not interested in controlling her, she became much more receptive to his advice.

Claudia coaxes him into bathing when he's going through a depressive episode, and brushes out his hair afterwards.

Claudia has a borzoi she named Ophelia. The dog is unnerved by Undertaker at first, but they eventually become friends (which is more than can be said for Undertaker and Tanaka)

Cloudia, the fearsome watchdog, lover to death himself, is a tiny bit afraid of the dark. She always sleeps with a candle lit on her beside table and never quite admits as to why. Undertaker finds this hopelessly charming and never teases her for it.

I didn't really know how to write out my 🌶️ headcanons without coming off completely and totally unhinged (or is it too late for that?) so instead have a little post-spicy slice of some of my claudiataker writing;

They are both panting when he sits back on his knees, a stunned look of amazement on her face. Of bliss, and the knowledge that he could give her that fills him not with pride, but with peace. 

"God," she mutters, and he cannot help but grin. That she is not self-conscious in the aftermath, not trying to cover herself or even close her legs... It is more than he hoped for. He should have learned to paint, so that he might look upon her forever. "Is that- is that what it's like for men, when they...?" 

"More or less." 

"...No wonder they seem to enjoy it so." 

The comment, said so matter-of-factly, makes him laugh. And then they're both laughing, Cloudia's giggling joining his own as he lays down beside her, pulling her into his embrace. They lay there, one fit of laughter triggering another. The wonder and joy of having made love, of knowing that earthly pleasure, of being alive. 

The joy of life. That is what he has found in her; that is what Cloudia has given him, what she has pressed into his hands and into his being without a word of warning or an ounce of regret. How deliciously cruel for her to come to him with such a gift now, centuries after he might have been able to accept it with the graciousness she deserves. 

"It's not exactly proper, is it?" She says, resting her head on his chest, still giggling. Not sounding in the least bit abashed.  "Putting your mouth there." 

He tucks her hair out of her face, smoothing the blue where it spills out onto his shirt. "Humankind has been doing it for as long as they've walked the earth." He grins into the crown of her head, scratching his fingers along her neck. "There's no harm in it, My Lady." 

"Quite the opposite, I should say."
