Reference from Brooklyn 99, how would some of the boys react if we just said "If I run and leap at (Name), he will most certainly catch me in his arms" and then proceeded to run full force at them while they're carrying stuff. (You can just ignore this if you don't understand this or don't want to do this.)
I was given 'some' and immediately ignored my own rules and did 'all', that's fun.
Still, finally cracking down and writing all *checks notes* 2 requests I've gotten.
(Please feel free to send in requests, I'd love to have more to work with)
Nimh
Oh it is such a rough thing for poor Nimh.
Problem A), the call alone is a little jump scare to him, and now his heart is freaking out
Problem B), he’s now faced with the dilemma of either dropping everything, or letting you eat shit on the pavement. He’d like neither to happen, but he’s not dumb enough to think he could do both
He eventually commits to catching you, but that just leads to
Problem C), he is not very strong and he can barely hold you
Give him the courtesy of keeping a foot on the ground to balance out your weight, yeah?
Volks
You joke about it sometimes before you ever commit to the bit
And every single time you do he insists to you that he will make zero effort to catch you
But you know Volks very well at this point.
And you know, among other things, that he is a dirty fucking liar
So you can only imagine your personal childlike glee when you finally do it and he does, in fact, catch you without hesitation
He insists it’s because if you fell and like, broke your elbow or something, that’d be terrible. Medical bills and all that.
For his sake, you’re ignoring that his face is growing redder by the second.
Kelby
No hesitation 100% of the time
First of all, holding you is extremely easy for him, but also he just finds carrying you to be romantic as hell
Oh he’ll cringe if he happens to be dropping something heavy, like a weight, but he still goes for you, that’s his priority
Still, he likes looking for opportunities to show off, and carrying you around like it’s nothing is prime show off material.
He might even get in a couple squats. He knows they go appreciated.
Eli
It’s a coin flip with Eli
Though if there’s a chance you’d genuinely injure yourself he’ll probably catch you
But it’s fair game to just let you crash if it’s carpet or grass. Because he thinks it’s just a little funny.
He also occasionally makes you pay the ‘catch tax’
It’s 5 dollars to at least partially make up for the drink that just died on the ground for your goofs.
Anon
Really, shame on you, you should know better.
He makes no attempt to catch you
In fact, he finds the way you end up crashing into the wall kinda funny.
Like watching a cat really fuck up a jump.
Beyond the fact that he’s kind of a stickler with his physical contact to begin with, a lot of the things he carries around are very easily breakable
So yes it’s rude, but frankly he’s not about to shell out 1000 dollars for a new laptop because you thought you could make a goofy point- because you couldn’t.
Garret
Garret doesn’t even miss a beat
He’s got you held up in one arm and whatever it was he was holding cradled in the other
While he thinks that it was certainly an odd thing to do, it was pretty cute.
Not hard to do. He thinks most things you do are cute.
Gives you a little kiss and gently sets you back down
Don’t get overconfident though. If he’s holding an animal, the animal gets priority. They’re more fragile.
He still feels really bad about it though. You think he might cry
Dmitri
Dmitri also goes for the catch every time
It adds to his suave and romantic charm, obviously.
However, as the type to prioritize romance over basic logic on occasion, he’s also prone to forgetting that he’s often holding his drink of choice
No it’s fine that his foot just got doused in hot coffee, no he’s not getting a third degree burn
Appreciate the romance, he’ll go see someone about it later
Ichiban
Like Anon, Ichiban hesitates, because if he’s holding something, it’s likely expensive.
However, unlike Anon, he makes the fatal mistake of still trying to catch you
And it worked maybe once. He’s still riding that high though.
He can handle it!
…But also this case of shenanigans that he has never told you to stop doing has cost more in equipment that either of you are ready to admit out loud.
You may or may not have pitched in to replace several cameras, controllers, and lavaliers
William
He tries very very hard to get you to stop charging him before contact is made
It’s a flurry of paperwork, because he does catch you
Says it’s the least he could do as the doting boyfriend he is
Though he does awkwardly dismiss himself from in after a moment.
While carrying you around is quite romantic, he won’t disagree with that, but also those papers were kind of important and he should get those together ASAP.
People have pets in need, and they can’t get it without the information getting where it needs to be.
He promises to give you a good cuddle once it’s all sorted, however.
Myx
There’s a very direct correlation between what exactly he’s holding and how okay he is with dropping it to scoop you
Electronics? Hard no, those are pricey to replace
Instruments are also frequent victims, and it depends on its fragility.
He tried to catch you with his leg once, except all he actually did was end up kicking you in the gut on the way down
He apologized about it for fifteen minutes straight.
But if it’s something sturdy, he has no problem with chucking it straight down and scooping you up into a whole ass cuddle.
Stirling
Oh please don’t do that outside
He’s fine with it inside and at night. It’s very attractive, even. Smooth and charming as he sweeps you off your feet before you can even make the jump.
But in the middle of the day it’s very bad for both of you
He can’t hold his parasol and you at the same time, it’s not happening
So get ready to either hit the deck or get caught on fire with him, depending on how much time he gets to think about it
Scale
He screams at first
There’s a loud clatter of knives, but he’s got you!
Scale insists very hard that he did not shriek like a little baby at you almost impaling yourself on his knives
Instead he scolds you over it
I mean come on, you spent an entire afternoon to keep his assassination deadline on you years away
What’s the good in wasting that, he could’ve done better things with his afternoon if you were gonna die a couple months later anyway
Sven
Puts no thought into whatever he’s holding, he just tries to hold you on top of it
It’s very uncomfortable every time, why do you keep doing that
It also doesn’t register to him that it’s his need to multitask it that results in you injuring yourself
He starts doing it to you to prove a point, and thinks he’s doing it better because he doesn’t get hurt
He has not realized it’s because you actually drop everything to catch him
But it’s still fun, and you kinda don’t want to ruin it for him.
Cole
He doesn’t even flinch
It’s like he anticipated you’d do this exact thing
And unlike some of the other boys he doesn’t even think when he drops whatever he’s holding.
Unless it’s something on the more… incriminating side. At that point he dodges you, dodges any questions, and quickly dismisses himself from the conversation entirely.
Sure it’s entirely possible there’s a shattered plate of hot food at his feet now, but that doesn’t matter because you’re here, being contently held in his arms
He uses it as an excuse to keep holding you
Poe
It what fucking world do you think he could hold you?
He drops his coffee and his school papers
Luckily they don’t damage each other, but w o w that was a close call
But beyond losing his morning caffeine and having to gather his work back up, you’ve hurt his wrists and also your entire body
No one has won here.
He also just. Literally can’t hold you. He’s a tiny frail goth boy, he crumbles if he’s holding anything heavier than 20 pounds.
Once you’re back on your feet, he asks if you could at the very least help him gather up his papers. They’re worth like 20% of his grade.
Cashew
Already a bit on the twitchy side, when he notices you speeding like a bullet train, he squeaks.
What exactly do you think you’re doing??? He’s been relocating his books all afternoon, you can see that he’s holding like, 8.
But, visibly cringing, they hit the floor, because he knows that he can’t hold them and you at the same time
One of them falls wide open, pages down. He tries not to think of the potential folded pages and boxed corners.
Especially because of how pleased you look!
…But the second he can set you down he’s on the ground checking for damages.
Seth
Seth is the absolute king of the ‘casually carrying around hazardous objects’ club
But unlike everyone else in said club, he has no qualms about chucking whatever it is on the ground and scooping you up.
This has resulted almost unanimously in making more hazards and chaos, but he hasn’t fussed about it once
He gets to give you a lil snuggle and it has the potential to cause crime. It’s a win-win for him!
You are an accessory to arson now though, so watch out, yeah?
Logan
Man goes into bullet time
It’s just a race to him to see if he can free an arm before you inevitably ‘plink’ off him and crash into the floor
Like. He does it, no real problems
But he immediately sets you down and scolds you for it
Because that was dangerous! What if he got hurt? What if you got hurt? What if he was holding something breakable, or bringing his fire axe somewhere?
All of those sound awful!
Still, he ruffles your hair and plants a little kiss on the top of your head. He isn’t mad, he just wants to make sure you’re being safe.

Hey🖐
Quick question, how would the band Rebel Rejects react, if in the middle of the day they had their hands full of stuff and Mc suddenly started running and jumping towards them? (just like in the series "brooklyn 99", where Jake jumps on Terry and he holds him. I love this scene😂)
{Sorry for any spelling mistakes, English is not my native language}
Hey! This is a really silly scene to play out! I'll do it with the whole band...ACTION!
Also the bands height for fun visual reference Roxanne/Robbie: 5'2/5'8 Joleen/Johnny: 5'8/6'0 Delphine/Desmond: 6'0/6'3
The Rebel Rejects: *walking back to the dorm with lots of groceries in hand*
Ro: Exactly why did we volunteer to do the grocery shopping for our halls movie night? Isn't this Silas' job? *
De: Yes it is, but he works so hard to organize so many events for us no reason we shouldn't lighten the load.
Ro: *with a sly grin* Oh yes The Rebel Rejects future punk legends and resident good Samaritans. Has a unique ring to it I guess...
Jo: *with a knowing look* De you know the real reason you volunteered us is because you don't trust anyone else to get quality groceries and its a perfect excuse to make your homemade pizza.
De: *scoffs and gives Jo a little shove* Well a choose your own toppings, from scratch, pizza bar sounds way better than a couple of boring frozen Digiorno. Plus It will be a fuck ton tastier and an added activity.
Jo: *chuckles and links arms with De* Oh I'm not complaining your constant need to be in the kitchen keeps me very well fed. And the fact that your cooking is Michelin worthy doesn't hurt either.
MC: *running in slow motion ready to jump into the band's arms*
Ro: Uh...what's that?
MC: Guys!!! I've been... *gets closer and jumps into the group*
Ro: *Jumps away*
Jo: *is startled and drops their tote bags, and scrambles to pick everything up*
De: *is standing baffled holding MC in their arms, in a classic firemen's carry, still has tote bags on each shoulder*
MC: I've been looking everywhere for you guys!
Ro: *stepping out in front of De and MC, laughing* Well you found us. What's up?
MC: Uh...nothing actually.... I just missed you all....*gets intensely embarrassed and tries to scramble out of De's arms*
De: *keeps hold of MC, and continues on to the dorm* Well you're stuck with us now. *nonchalantly* What pizza toppings do you like?
Jo: *cracking up* It doesn't matter you bought every possible option! Silas is gonna flip when he sees the receipt.
MC and The Rebel Rejects: *continue into the dorm ignoring the stares and chuckles of their fellow students*

Okay, so I dedicated my first smut in English to Chaggie:
Charlie Morningstar, the Princess of Hell, is very much a pillow princess. Luckily, Vaggie loves being her service top. However, what happens if Charlie decides to shift their dynamic in bed and tie her tough-looking girlfriend up for her own good?
As the title and summary above suggests, this fanfic is about Charlie help Vaggie relearn the way of trust through bondage. Yes, they have kinky s3x in this, but they also talk about the problem of seeming imbalances in their relationship (in bed and beyond). I believe that they are both switches actually, and I want Charlie to validate Vaggie as an equal partner.
Some trigger warnings other than the consensual kinks: I headcanon that Vaggie suffered from bullying in the angelic army and has mental health issues stemmed from her past traumatic events. There is a graphic scene portraying the physical attack and non-consensual restraints that she endured during an incident in the exorcist days, and another scene of her mental breakdown after the hotel opening.
Note that the first chapter is the fic and the second chapter is some lores I wrote for this fic for your reference (Vaggie's origin, sexuality, gender expression, mental health issues, etc.)
Feel free to leave me any comments on AO3!
Many thanks for the inspiration from the fanart of @barblaz-arts (I just love the design of Vaggie's halter top: x x x x x) and @reicav97 (a quote about making your partner pass out in bed).
Other Easter Eggs:
Angel Dust jokes about Vaggie being the only “straight guy” in the hotel: It’s referred to one of Vivziepop’s youtube streams (1:07:24) and a cast interview by The Hollywood Reporter.
Charlie admires Vaggie’s “gorge’ body”: A homage to a cast interview on youtube where Charlie’s VA Erika compliments Vaggie's VA Stephanie’s "gorge'" (gorgeous) hairstyle on the red carpet of the show premiere.
“she would kill everyone in this hotel and then herself”: A homage to the famous meme of Stephanie in Brooklyn 99: “I've only had Arlo for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.”
“Repeat after me, ‘I’m your equal partner.’”: Inspired by the line “Repeat after me, ‘We can fix this together.’” that Luz says to Amity in the episode Understanding Willow in The Owl House.

AAAAIAKJHDUQDHHJAGYWQGJHQ AUGUST HAS COME TO AN END!!!! Bruh was it just me or when the (third) wedding happened I had this certain post in mind? And omg Jerry turned out to be the traitor all along!! :O I really thought he was on our side but nope after what he did, nope, nada, get that douche out of here. Sorry Jerry; your intentions were just too messed up. There's no hope for you. If anything he's just as bad as Yuri. :/ Welp! Glad that he's dead. :D
I'm a bit curious though what caused Satoru to suspect Jerry. I know that Geto said that Jerry's description of Y/N's fallen episode was a bit too much on the mark but what else blew his cover away?
And OMGGGGGGGG KEISUKE BABYYYYYYYYY!!!! UwU he's sssooooo cccuuuuttteeee! Has he taken his first steps yet? LMAO! XD I laughed at the part where he basically like Yuta more than his Uncle Geto! XD lol and OH lord Shoko! ppfftt I saw that Brooklyn 99 reference that she made. "I've only had Keisuke for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this mansion and then myself." :D Same gurl, same >:]
Omg yes Mr. Gojo the strongest Satoru cried at his wedding.
When the whole thing started Geto advised Gojo to add additional security around y/n but Gojo said that it's better that only the trusted people stay around the reader and baby. That being Jerry. Gojo knew that Jerry was the one who gave her meds as he often took updates on her from him. Jerry was the only one who was allowed in their bedroom because he took care of Keisuke so he had access to y/n's medicine. Once Gojo saw the texts between him and Yuri everything became clear.
Keisuke hasn't taken his first steps yet but he doesn't have to cause everyone wants to hold him 😂😂 Shoko always gave me major rosa vibes so I had to add that reference 😁

Ok, so first of all, the shatterstars are canonically established multiple times to take more control over the more willing you are. The more you give in, the more Ankarna can control you. Secondly, I said parasite because that's what BLeeM refers to them. And thirdly, willing taking in a parasite doesn't stop it from being a parasite. If I purposefully eat a tapeworm, it's still gonna be a tapeworm. Kipperlilly chose to take in the shatterstar, yes, but there's no way she could have truly understood what it was coming, nor could she back out when she did experience that stuff, because as established during that fight, unlike everyone else, because she consented to having it put in her chest, even death couldn't take it out of her. Like I said, the more willing you are, the stronger it is.
Kipperlilly easily could cause more damage than Adaine. KLCK is a terrifyingly good assassin and a literally mastermind, if she felt like it she could destroy entire governments. Adaine, while powerful, is no where near the power of Arthur Aguefort, who ALSO couldn't take down Fallinel, while he was wielding the sun and summoning hundreds of terracotta clones of himself. And if she burned down Fallinel like she said she would, she'd lose all of her resources she gets from being the Elven Oracle. All she would have is random visions she can't control that have been repeatedly stated to not actually be that helpful.
Kipperlilly's plan did turn everyone in Elmville rageful! Except the adventuring teenagers, who were all purposefully taken away from the town prior to Ragnerok. Also, anyone that WAS in the town would probably go to hell with the town itself anyways when it became a demiplane?
I feel like genre shouldn't equal morals, but that might personal philosophy. Like, the context of the world should be taken into account, yes, but there are limits. Say, in the context of the world of Brooklyn 99, cops are good. I still think it's copaganda and that all the cops in it are pigs. So similarly, when it comes to the murder of Johnny Spells (who reminder, had his soul held hostage and was being forced to help or be erased, which in a world with afterlives means a fucking lot) or similar things, I feel like it should absolutely be as bad as murder in real life. Especially when not in a position to be revived. I don't know where I'm going with this, I have a lot of feelings about moral philosophy in media analysis.
Again, I'm not saying Kipperlilly's a good person or was right. I'm saying that, with what's been established, she was not at fault. She was groomed by a man with the power to convince anyone, even omniscient gods, that whatever he says is true, including how you feel about something and what you want to do. That man, with that power, told her she wanted to go through this ritual that would attack a parasite to her soul that takes away her ability to think and feel things like guilt, empathy, and shame. Then she was ordered to kill 5 people she was barely friends with and 1 person she genuinely did care about. And then she died. What I'm saying is she doesn't deserve hell, she deserves to get the shatterstar out of her chest and then institutionalized for a long time where she can receive the help she's been reaching out for for years and not receiving (remember how she was the only one of the Rat Grinders actively reaching out for help from Jawbone?). How does Ankarna, who did this to all of these children and only switched sides when she learned she wasn't going to get what she was promised, get off scot-free while the mind controlled teenager dies?
Sorry if any of this sounded aggressive, I promise it's not, I'm just bad with tone online and especially during discussions like this. Have a nice day!
i love kipperlily defenders, someone please remind them you can have a truly evil character be your fav
she did not have normal teenage anger, she had a homicide, she committed cold blooded murder against her best friend, that is not "local teen girl has some issues" that is murder.
it is truly beautiful what people will defend, but as a klkc fan myself, let her be villainous, let her be unreasonable, let her be hated, you can still love her for being awful

You're arguing from a moral framework that you're then arguing against; you're also then, apparently deliberately, misunderstanding terms, bait-and-switching, and more. You're also resorting to ad hominem. But let me define my terms! Murder: The killing of an innocent (i.e., not convicted of any crime) human by another human, absent self-defense, defense of others, or war. Induced abortion carries none of those justifications and is a premeditated act of killing of an innocent human being, hence: induced abortion = murder. This is why I consistently use the term "murder" instead of just "killing". Once again, I refer you to the differences between tragedy, triage, and murder. Law: Just because something is currently lawful does not mean it isn't wrong. Or would you have argued for slavery because it was "lawful"? "The goal of a termination"? Seriously? But yes, you're both right and splitting hairs. The goal of murder is for the victim to cease being alive. The goal of an abortion is precisely to eliminate the "embryo". If that fails and the baby lives, that's known as a failed abortion. (Imagine that. It's considered a failure if a baby survives.) That is exactly what induced abortion is, and that is exactly its goal. You're not pregnant when there's no living baby. Your "argument" here would be akin to saying: "Hitler's goal was to have a Jew-free empire. Whether or not millions of Jews were killed in the process is immaterial." As I believe Brooklyn 99 says: "Cool motive! Still murder."
"Pregnancy Is Like Blood/Forced Organ Donation" Pro-Abortion Argument
This is an old but still popular pro-abortion argument. At first glance, it does seem reasonable, doesn’t it? But once you look closer, the analogy breaks down catastrophically.
Just to summarize, the reasons you should not be forced to give blood or donate organs (ironically, bodily autonomy comes into it, but no one seems to recognize the baby’s bodily autonomy) are primarily these:
You are not legally or morally responsible/ do not have any duty of care to this hypothetical person (i.e., you are not their parent).
You did not (presumably) cause their current condition in any way.
There are other potential avenues to save the hypothetical person’s life than your blood or organ(s) (i.e., someone else could donate; the person can survive without them for long enough for another solution to be discovered).
(implicated in C) You are not actively or passively causing this person to die by refusing them your blood or organ(s).
Worth noting, but not always consistent so not included above, is E.: Donating blood or organ(s) to this hypothetical person is inherently/ONLY harmful and would cause you permanent damage (donating blood is obviously something that people can and do easily recover from).
None of the above is true for a pregnant woman, and this is where the analogy breaks down. In the (rare) case of abortion due to rape (rapists/sex traffickers, by the way, are huge proponents of abortion and proven to be in cahoots with Planned Parenthood locations for obvious reasons), B is the only one that is then true for a woman pregnant through rape, but that still does not negate A, C, D, or E. I’ll explain it further in my hopefully more accurate analogies below. A more accurate analogy, then, is this: A toddler mistakenly wanders into your home. Regardless of whether you left the door open or not (i.e., had consensual sex), you are obviously not only not allowed to kill that toddler for wandering into your house, but you in fact have a duty of care to that toddler until such time as you/emergency services can find their parents or someone else better equipped to care for them. Even if that toddler tracks mud on your carpet or otherwise costs you money/causes you emotional or even physical inconvenience or pain, you are still obviously not allowed to murder that toddler. I believe this analogy to be somewhat imperfect, since it overplays the responsibility of the child – the unborn have, obviously, even less agency than this hypothetical lost toddler! But the point stands. The baby who is being killed through abortion did not ask to be in the womb and did not cause themselves to be there; that was purely the act of the mother and father. The unborn baby has no say in their condition/location/level of development, whereas the parents have had every say and thus have every responsibility.
In the case of rape – while I believe the above analogy holds true for it as well (see: door open/door closed), allow me to make it even clearer (forgive the seemingly flippant terms, but I believe the comparisons are still accurate): An evil, depraved man has picked up a random toddler from the street and outright thrown her through your door or perhaps a window, causing harm to both you and her. You have every right to press charges and seek justice against the man! However, you do not have any right to slit the throat of the toddler. (In fact, current law in most civilized societies even prevents you from slitting the throat of the criminal himself absent an immediate self-defense situation.) Neither you nor the toddler (baby) had any say in what happened. My analogies above, in the interest of being generous, also ignore the assumption of E (that is, that donating blood or organ(s) to this hypothetical person is inherently/ONLY harmful and would cause you permanent damage). But this also does not necessarily hold true for a pregnant woman. Physical injuries, sicknesses, parasites, etc. are inherently unnatural and inimical to the body’s natural state (homeostasis); they can ONLY cause harm. Pregnancy, however, is neither unnatural to the female body nor inimical to it (the female body has organs/hormones/an entire body structure specifically designed for the process of pregnancy). Nor does pregnancy/giving birth inevitably cause permanent damage to the woman (although in rarer cases, I acknowledge that it can – much like driving in a car or being an athlete carries the risk of permanently damaging your body). In fact, carrying a baby to term and giving birth can actually be beneficial for a woman’s health – i.e., statistically decreases long-term risk of certain types of cancers, stem cells sent to strengthen a woman’s heart, etc. (Breast Cancer Risk: Age at First Childbirth | Susan G. Komen®; https://www.liveaction.org/news/study-proves-fetus-as-parasite-arguments-false/ ).
To summarize: Comparing carrying a baby to term to forced blood/organ donation, parasitism, or even home invasion looks applicable at first blush but irreparably breaks down at second glance, for multiple key reasons (see A, B, C, D, and E). Nor is it, obviously, logically inconsistent to be against induced abortion and against forced blood/organ donation/parasitism/home invasion. They’re both immoral.
If you would like some other opinions or perhaps a different viewpoint with even more reasons why the situations are not comparable:
Refutation of the right to refuse argument. Deconstruction of the bodily autonomy argument. Dismantling of the parasite argument. Construction of fetal personhood.
