You're an only on many who talks about J.P on this site. I can ask you what you think on Junpei becoming a singer for Izumi? Doesn't it make you angry?

Hi, Anon. Thank you for the ask. You kinda… Touched a delicate topic here, because I have got mixed feelings about this Serena from Pokemon situation, but, surprisingly, I’m not totally condemning this choice from the writers like some have. I…Can look at it more brightly than people expect me to and I can also say I don’t think the opera singer thing came out of blue.

For starters, there’s a part of me who wants to believe he was embarassed about Izumi teasing him. It’s an audio drama and we have no idea about his expression there. If you ask me, Izumi mentioning the ice skater and Tourin Olympics is way too specific to be a random anecdote that hasn’t had an impact on Junpei’s past self. I think that “Junpei, you’re really a fanboy” kinda made him awkward on the spot. On another hand, it’s obvious his crush is still there and his “I’m studying opera to be closer to you” hasn’t been thrown there for a nonsense reason, either, which means there might be a pinch of truth in what he says.

It…Sucks? It…Disgusts you because it shows Junpei is stuck at the same point, which is also something he was aware about in the original series? Remember the library scene with Tomoki, where he admits he hasn’t changed at all? It makes you wince because Junpei was supposed to be an engineer or a magician? I understand these feelings very well, but I also want to see, indeed, try seeing a sense in whatever they have done in that drama (which is my favourite one from Frontier, mind you).

Taking in consideration the job choice, I believe there have been two reasons behind it:

• Junpei’s skill at entertaining people that has been shown in the whole anime.

• The necessity of connecting characters with Italy.

Listen, as an opera fan, I want to underline sometimes I find myself wishing he had taken on some other kind of career as well. Junpei is a very colourful character, showing to be good at the most disparate activities: he is good with kids and you think he would be a great teacher like Juri and Hikari (Digimon, we need a man teacher among your characters, just saying); he likes drawing on freaking blue prints and you think he could give engineering or architecture a chance; there are some scenes in which he seems to interact with Trailmon so often and you think he could turn driving trains in a future job; he’s interested in magical tricks and, like many would have liked, you can imagine him going professional in the field.

All of these observations are valid and true but the point in his character is that Junpei is just interested in so much different stuff. Profiles describe him as a “kid who is bad at school but has got an academic knowledge thanks to his interest in miscellaneous stuff”. And you can notice this trait of his scattered in the show in the smallest and silliest frames too, like, for example, when he mentions elephants’ graves, or when he raises his hands up to the Sun and mentions UV rays, or when he quotes horror tropes. In the most recent drama he also reveals himself to be a fan of detective stories??🤣 He has got a lot of interests and I can kinda see this as something he does to deal with loneliness. Always staying alone, maybe he reads a lot or watches ton of documentaries.

Headcanons aside, Junpei could have been all these things but their attention ended up falling on his most entertaining side, pushing them to pick the opera singing career.

Now. Unlike Takuya, Junpei has always had an interest in Italy thanks to Izumi. In the anime it’s never shown except when he joins her while she’s yelling “Buono! Buono!” before eating at the island restaurant. Yet, it’s a characteristic of his that surfaces in “Izumi’s Love letters”, or whatever it is called. It’s basically the part of the 2002 drama where she sends imaginary letters to the boys, Junpei included. In the one she addresses him, she talks about the fact Junpei makes her happy when he seems interested in her tales about Italy, especially when it comes to food, and she proposes him (+ the others, she specifies at the end XD) to visit Italy together.

It has always been there and even if that curiosity was born in him thanks to Izumi, I’m so sure he is cultivating his interest on his own as well. You…Can’t absolutely take on opera if you don’t feel it in your heart🤣. It’s a suicide, okay, and ,most of all, you have to own that gift to pursue that dream. It’s not like you will start studying opera and you just need to study to go forward. It’s not enough at all. Thus, Izumi saying Junpei has entered an honour university after some opera exam makes you understand he’s seriously giving his best in what he’s doing and is also rather great at it.

“But he’s doing it to get closer to Izumi whwhwhwhwhhwhwhwwwwwweewe”

Not only ,in my opinion. He’s also taken that path thanks to Izumi, because that’s how their relationship has always worked, -excluding times in which the writing was trash-.

It’s not like I want to say the others have got no role in Junpei’s and Izumi’s growth, but looking back at Frontier for a nth time with a dear friend is making me realize how their friendship was based on improving thanks to the other’s presence. Izumi faced her issues for the first time in a serious way thanks to Junpei in the Tsunomon episode. Her collaboration with him and her opening herself to him without prejudices helped her move forward and take a first step towards her improvement. Junpei learnt how to be more genuine around her, starting from being such a spoiled a$$ to understanding he could build a good relationship with her if he was himself. Compare the Floramon ep with the Tsunomon ep to notice how he became a totally different person in her regards after having got the spirit, whereas he keeps on being tough to Takuya and Co. If we exclude the sexist philosophy behind the Bolgmon episode, we can take in consideration that the affection he had towards Izumi also pushed him to go over his limits even when he felt so unsure about doing it. He wanted to get her spirit back and it was enough for him to give a glance at her sadness to get courage, get his beast spirit and maintain a partial control on it: actually, Bolgmon managed to hit Grottemon only when he remembered he was attacking him for Izumi’s sake.

There’s…Nothing wrong in getting inspired from a person and letting that person shape us; in seeing them as a sort Muse of light in a world that’s probably too dark to allow us to see where we should put our feet. What matters, though, is to go over that phase eventually and build our person on the precious lessons our Muse has given us. “Train of Hope”introduces us to a still immature Junpei who has got a lot to learn, a very flawed Junpei who can both be himself around his crush but can also make the mistakes he used to make as a kid, and, again, guys, it’s fine??? Digiworld doesn’t mark the end of these kids’ development. Every kid seems to still be flawed at its worst in that drama, not only Junpei.

Still, we are talking about him now, and what I can tell you is that the infamous tenor role they have given him has got a lot of potential behind its frivolous appearance. It could give Junpei the opportunity to live new experiences outside Japan, grow further, plunge in a world of entertainment aiming at making people both laugh and cry, and that’s also perfect for a character like him. A grey one who could hold both comedy and tragedy in himself; a lightning that can both bring but also rob the world of light. In a nutshell, he wouldn’t only be a perfect tenor because of his knight fantasies and his unrequited crush XD.

And if these experiences will help him grow out of his crush on Izumi, may it happen. Somehow, even if I could spend ages talking about Junzumi and spreading love for them, I would find it a very good ending for him: him eventually finding happiness first of all in himself and, possibly, in another person as well. By then, he will have become a much better person and ,you never know, sometimes he might remember how everything started and might thank Digiworld and Izumi for everything.

PSA Just a question: do you use J.P as a nickname for him?🤣💕

#junzumi #junpei shibayama #digimon frontier #izumi orimoto #these essays would be much more interesting and polished if Joseph was here and you asked him about this stuff #I love Junzumi and I hope this didn’t send the wrong message #it’s like when it comes to loving Amourshipping #you love them but you also want to see Serena grow up like it happened #IF YOU ASK ME best kinds of shippings #Junzumi has got too much potential from Junpei’s perspective but the writers prefer making him an object of comparison with Tk and KJ #it’s not like they can be themselves and Junpei can be himself #no he always has to be compared with them because they are cooler stronger more clever more intelligent #PSA Takuya in an italian football team in D series has got no sense but whatever #in defence of my boy #asks

I have thoughts but I don't know how to arrange them. I just... A lot of people are like "I can't see Tarkin dating a lowly stormtrooper!!! Maybe another officer but not a stormtrooper!"

Which is fair but I also thinks that they work because TK-421 isn't an officer, has no interest in promotions or greed and seems to want to just be free of the imperial army at large.

Like, think about it. A person like Grand Moff Tarkin is probably prime for people dating not for him but people dating the doors he could open for them. It's a status thing. He's in Palpatine's most inner circle. Even for other officers, he can offer promotions and secrets beyond their clearance and access to and the favor of the Emperor. And so he always has to be careful of it-are these people with him for the grand moff? It's like he says in Of MSE-6 and Men. He can't let his icy exterior down because the greed of the core natives are waiting for the first sign they can get a leg up. Even his ex boyfriend longtime friend from their academy years tries to get Tarkin to put in a word for him with Palpatine when Tarkin has just returned from three years off planet

And then comes G7 with the hologram of TK-421. He's gorgeous, and it'll be casual. He'll keep his walls up. He knows what to expect. No one has to know, and it won't go on for long.

But then TK-421 isn't like anyone else. He has no interest in secrets or the Emperor or promotions. In fact, he dreams of leaving it all behind. Of a racing circuit on Coruscant, of comfortable living conditions for him and his droid, and of lighting like the one on the station that Tarkin built.

Of stuff that, being born into the wealthiest family on the planet, Tarkin could've given him if they had met in a different life. All Sevastian wants is something Wilhuff could've easily provided, if their life never expanded past Eriadu. He could've made this man happy by just being Wilhuff.

For once, he doesn't have to be grand moff or governor, or any title. Because he can provide for his lover as a man, provide a home and allowance from his own wealth. And that's probably-huge. Bigger than TK-421 knows.

I think there is very much a safety and comfort thing from sleeping around with someone who has no interest in his work life. Who dreams are probably crazy, but they make him laugh, he makes him laugh. And Tarkin allows it because he's safe. Their job difference is so very unsafe, even Palpatine would scold him for fucking a trooper, but Sevastian is warmth and safety as long as they keep it hidden.

For once in his life, perhaps for the very first time(Definitely since he was in single digits), just being Wilhuff is enough.

(He knows that the stormtrooper is using him for those things, that the trooper doesn't feel as deeply, but he wants to believe once they're away from the army and the Death Star, perhaps he'll feel safe enough to start opening up his heart. He doesn't mind Sev playing him like a fool. Better a fool than an idiot who allowed access to stars know how many secrets)

So yeah that's my response to all those comments. On surface level, yes. But when you think about how characters are fluid and this is definitely bookverse, the only person Wilhuff could truly let in is someone like TK-421 given his past in Tarkin. It's also why King of My Heart by Taylor Swift is SO them, with the themes of the love that is the one being more simplistic and lowkey than all the others(Cause all those boys and their expensive cars/their range rovers and their jaguars/never took me quite where you do and Up on the roof with a school girl crush/drinking beer out of plastic cups/say you fancy me not fancy stuff/Baby, all at once this is enough). I said what I said(But also the acoustic version she sang at an engagement party, not the big studio/concert version).

#wilhuff tarkin #tk-421 #of mse 6 and men #I've had this in my mind for a long time #I just have a lot of thoughts #And that comment ALWAYS gets me because if you go into character backstories and think about it realistically #TK-421 having no interest in the empire has something huge with their fling turning into an actual relationship #It's something that I marvel at #How of all the characters tarkin fell in love with the character who seems to yearn to be a simple civilian #I like to think they build a very private but very strong home life together #They have cooking and cleaning droids but find themselves doing a lot of it #It's strangely mundane and tarkin strangely loves it #Sev's a bad cook but he tries and he's been in the army for 12+ years and just the fact that it's his cooking makes it lovely #Tarkin makes a much stronger push to be stationed on either coruscant or eriadu 85% of the time and the DS 10% and 5% is ships #So they can maintain a shared residence because they've made his properties homes

The more people bitch about Jikook, the stronger and closer they get. Its like seeing your kid date someone you don't like. The more you bitch and moan, the more they develop this us against the world mentality and before you know it, they're eloping. It really doesn't cost a thing to be respectful of their bond. If you were, we wouldn't be here every year hearing the same tired old fanservice excuse. Like are you bitches blind? Tae told you Jk was basically living in Jimin's room. Jimin is telling you that and you see it. They are together eating, chilling, staying for rehearsals, together in their bedrooms, off camera, on camera, in their cars, up each other's asses all day and you wonder why your favs aren't being shown. Cause they aren't hanging out like you think, that's why. Like how do you expect Jk to squeeze in five minutes for your fav, when he's up Jimin's ass and marking is territory in his room all day? Like he ain't even on facetime with whatever partner outside of BTS you have him paired with either and making room for her or him. How can they have room, when its all occupied by Jimin? This isn't about shipping. Its about two people who MUTUALLY AGREE to spend all their time together and you wanna cry. Instead of sucking it up and just being happy they have each other.

And Jikookers were called crazy when we said the reason Tk were hanging out was because Jimin was busy like hell and Jennie was touring. Now that Jimin's schedule isn't so hectic. Where is JK now at this very moment and who has he been pinning for and with now vacationing for months? Jimin. Going around telling lies that your favs are the closest, cause they occasionally hang out like once a month. Jk told you from his own mouth, I don't keep up with Tae, when asked where Tae was and that was like 4 months ago. He loves Tae. He enjoys hanging out with him and his friends. No one can say he doesn't. But if given the choice, he's gonna wanna be with the one he's attracted to and THE ONE HE IS IN LOVE WITH and the one who can give him what he needs if you catch my drift and that is Jimin. Get a clue already.

It's the ow ah eiish they feeling in their chest for me

But it's also the way I don't care bout much these days 😂only God knows.

Jikook is real. In this day and age no one can convince me otherwise. Whatever anyone says and does it goes right above my ear like a lost air plane 🙃

Tuktukkers are senseless

Anti's have lost the plot

Doubters are just dumb and corny

Anyone who thinks they know anything bout Jikook post solo is playing themselves for fools we ain't know shit. We've been made. Jikook made us out. They pulling the strings like the masters of chaos they are.

Some said I drink too much these days- you ain't shit.

If I come for!!! No! Like fr IF I COME FOR YOU!

omgomgomgkmg MEAN BRO SEUNGMIN AND HOLE INSPECTIONS..... LIEKEK STOP I JUST THOUGHT ABT IT... he has to make sure his kittle sister isbt whoring herself out tk other men (not cause he wants tk see ur pretty cunt!!!) will totally make fun pf u when u squirm or whimper HHEE DO U SEE MY VISION

i am once again thinking of two asks at once BECAUSE... imagine seungmin and jisung both being your stepbrothers.

your back is up against jisung's chest, and he's got your thighs splayed over his, his hands keeping you still. jisung's stronger than he looks - he may prefer to be subby and bratty when you play like this, but he's definitely willing to listen to his brother when he tells him to keep you still.

seungmin's thumb is rubbing over the gusset of your panties. they're his favourites on you, actually, cute plain white cotton with a little pink bow at the top. he likes how innocent they make you look, especially when you're wearing them and whoring yourself out to your stepbrothers.

"i have to check you haven't been whoring out this pussy to anyone else, yeah?" seungmin coos, and jisung hums in response. he agrees. it's not often jisung is in an authoritative role over you, either, but when he is you're slightly intimidated by the two of them. "sungie, pull her panties to the side. lemme see."

jisung obliges, two lithe fingers hooking into the drenched fabric to pull them to the side. once the cold air meets your soaked folds, you're jolting, hands moving to grab jisung's toned biceps. they're exposed in his tank top - that shirt had been why you'd jumped their bones as soon as they walked into the house.

seungmin's eyes are dark, his lips slightly parted when he sees your pussy exposed to the room. he loves having you like this, spread open on jisung's lap so that he can examine you.

"how's it look, minnie? think she's been riding other cocks?" jisung's voice is low, deep against your ear, and you whine. you shake your head rapidly.

"no, no, i haven't! i promise, i haven't, only you two, i don't want anyone else, please. please, please, you don't have to look, just fuck me, i can't-"

"shut the fuck up," seungmin's voice is dripping in faux sweetness, and he uses his thumbs to spread your folds. your hole clenches, drippy and wet and definitely untouched by anyone else. he raises an eyebrow, and him and jisung share a look. "this pussy looks fuckin' loose. you filthy bitch. you have been fucking other people, haven't you?"

"well, that won't do," jisung's chest vibrates behind you with a surpressed chuckle. you whimper, trying to wiggle your hips away from seungmin's hands, but then he's pushing two fingers into you. "you'll have to clench it nice and tight for us, or we won't feel any pleasure from that pussy."

#juno’s asks ♡#user: alemi-i #asks: jisung #asks: seungmin #🐳 anon 💌#incest rp kink!

Thank you @alrightbuckaroo and @paperstorm for the tags! Here’s more of my teacher AU. It’s a long snippet because I really loved this part.

“But we need to hurry up and get him back in the tank before Carlos —”

He’s cut off by the door opening and Carlos walking through it. “Hey!” Glancing over at Jonah, TK grins at the almost panicked look on his face. He turns to look back at TK, clearly unsure if they should tell Carlos that Lou is free.

“Uh, hey, baby.”

“Hi, Carlos,” Jonah says carefully.

Carlos looks confused. “Everything okay?”

Jonah stares at TK again, willing him to give an answer. TK slowly shakes his head. Nervously, Jonah turns to Carlos and nods. “Yep. Everything’s fine.”

“Okay,” Carlos says suspiciously. He shrugs, walking toward the kitchen to grab a water. “Jonah, that’s a cool balloon you’ve got over there.”

All eyes turn to look at the T-Rex balloon that Jonah did pick out at the store earlier. But it’s not exactly his. “I love dinosaurs!” Jonah blurts. He looks at TK with wide, panicked eyes.

“I… I know you do.” Carlos stands in front of the couch, his eyes darting back and forth between them like he’s watching tennis, waiting for one of them to break and tell him what the hell is going on. Neither of them do. “Seriously, what is going on?”

“You’re early,” Jonah says.

Carlos frowns. “What, you don’t want me here?”

“No, nothing like that, baby,” TK assures him. “We just usually get our weirdness out before you get here.”

“Sure you do,” Carlos says, laughing. He glances over, zeroing in on the movement across the room. “Why is the balloon moving?”

Jonah looks, somehow, even more panicked. “Um,” TK tries, “it’s by a vent.”

Then, quicker than he can explain, the balloon takes off across the room, directly toward Carlos. TK can see the moment he realizes what the balloon is tied to. The loud, high pitched yelp that follows is almost comical, though it pales in comparison to the way Carlos jumps fully onto the couch.

“Holy shit,” TK breathes, doubled over as he laughs. “Jonah wasn’t kidding. You are terrified of lizards.”

“Why is he out?” Carlos cries. “And why is he wearing a balloon?”

TK tries to stop laughing; it’s only earning him a glare from Carlos. Though Jonah’s giggles from the couch probably aren’t helping either. “He’s wearing a balloon so that we know where he goes while I clean the tank. We usually do this while you’re not here so that you don’t have to be exposed to your fears.”

“Mr. Reyes — I mean, Carlos — says it’s good to face your fears. He says it makes you stronger.”

Carlos closes his eyes, taking a deep breath. “I didn’t mean things like this.”

“Oh, so what did you mean?” TK asks, grinning.

Carlos looks ready to murder him. It only makes TK laugh harder. “Can you just come get him, TK?”

“It’s nice to say please,” Jonah chimes in.

Fighting an eye roll, Carlos adds, “Please.”

Kinda funny how all those years Jikook dressed alike, matching almost head to toe or in exactly the same outfit, this whole fandom wrote it off, even after RM asked them point blank if they were a couple. Then to hear when JK was watching Suchwita, ask why YM were wearing similar clothes, even tho their clothes really were nothing alike, but triggered him enough for a response, really made me laugh. I saw YM & TK shippers saying its cause he knows about YM. LMAO idiots, their clothes weren't couple clothes or matching, they were just too similar for JK's liking. Hey Suga, go try to peel off JM's leaf for him, with JK watching. I just wanna see something for research purposes. We always tease JK & Minimoni, but he also gets high key annoyed with Yoonmin, too.

Anoooooooooon why do you think JK reacted to Suchwita in the first place?? Yes JK is a Minimoni anti. That's been established. But he is also a major Yoonmin anti. Like big time and it's been going on for a long ass time. He he hee. JK is not a fan of Yoonmin moments which is why we don't talk about Yoonmin so shh

But also let's talk about Yoonmin shall we? Only because JK's dislike for their moments is underrated. No other reason 🤭🤭

Before we begin. Here is a compilation of Suga checking out the Jibooty. Tbf he does check out other members as well but....this is about Yoonmin. He hee

So! Off the top of my head exhibit A) this BBMA 2017 Live. JK did not take his eyes off Suga until he got off Jimin

First of all, there is ALOT happening on this live. Like alot. Which is why I'm not clipping the exact moment because you should absolutely watch this entire live. JK has a stronger reaction to RM being on Jimin but he also kept an eye when Suga did it 👆🏽

Exhibit B) Is my own personal theory. Remember in winter package when JK went with Yoonmin for beer tasting and gave up zip lining?

In what world would thrill seeker JK give up zip lining so he can go beer tasting? Now don't get me wrong, JK loves his liquor much like the rest of them. But still, it was kinda sus to me, alright? Could it have been satellite Jeon wanting to be with his man? Maybe. Still, knowing Jimin was gonna spend all day with Suga getting tipsy... idk. I can see JK wanting to be around for that 🤭🤭🤭

Exhibit C) incase someone missed Suga drooling during this

(Put your phone on landscape and u can zoom in and take a closer look🤭)

Exhibit D) do we really need to talk about Suga Vs Blood sweat and tears Jimin?? I'm sure we've all seen this.

Exhibit E) this segment. Jimin's letter said everyone should tell Suga they love him. Everyone did except one person..can u guess who? Even Hobi called him out. Asked JK "why didn't u say it?" 🤭🤭🤭

Exhibit F) should I include this? Coz I'm not seeing the difference here. Btwn this

And this

Moving on.

Exhibit G) (watch Jimin) Suga touches Jimin's ear and what's the first thing Jimin's does?

Also don't think JK and his grandpa clothes is not watching that through his periphery. Mans always aware of what Jimin is doing at all times.

Exhibit H) They're discussing Jimin's armpit. JK is smiling, quite big. Then Jimin asks Suga if his armpit is sexy. JK's smile is no longer anywhere to be seen 👀

Exhibit I) this was a favourite of mine. Ngl. Listen. People can deny till the cows come home. But JK reacted the way he did here for a reason. Memories 2021. JK looked away as soon as Suga touched Jimin's chin. Not before. Not after. As soon as Suga touched Jimin, JK looks away so fast I got worried about his neck there for a second. It happened. Anyone who said it didn't well... idk what to tell ya. JK has been looking away for years when something that he doesn't want to see, is happening. Especially after he got a hold of his possessiveness he started to just look away instead of acting on it. It is what it is 🤷🏽‍♀️

Last one but definitely not least is Exhibit J) this was a popular Jikook moment after this run episode aired. The thing is though... yes we gushed and we "awwed" because JK's ears moved as soon as Jimin started dancing. But you know who else's ear moved?? And he was the only one apart from JK that was affected by that 😏😏😏😏

I could do this all day guys. 😂😂

If JK is staring... so is Suga. If JK is checking out the Jibooty, so is Suga. And we have not even started on how Jimin is clearly Suga's favourite. Be it vocals, be it in general; always choosing him no matter what. And we haven't even talked about how Suga isn't big on skinship but with Jimin that doesn't seem to be a problem???

You guys think JK doesn't see what we see? Doesn't know what we know? Huh? How can he not? I mean, this was right infront of his salad 😂😂 kinda makes me wonder if he blocked Suga on purpose 🤭🤭

What I'm I saying? Even though we will never see Jimin reciprocate whatever this is, (Mans only has eyes for JK. Always has, always will) Yoonminers are the only shippers allowed to try to argue with Jikookers. Them and them only. And genuine Yoonminers. Not tkkrs who ship Yoonmin coz they wanna shove Jimin somewhere to keep him away from their ship.

Bonus: everyone is looking at Jin except Yoonkook. JK its okay, coz that's his man. But i'mma need Suga to get his shit together. Fr fr

Hey everyone 👋🏽

I haven’t bothered clarifying anything here simply because I’m more active on TW and, to a smaller degree, my IG. I’ve voiced my thoughts on those platforms but I guess I should also preserve it here so I’m doing that now💜TBH I debated even making this post because I want to move forward, but I think this should be archived for the future so 😌

For those who didn’t see, these are the things I’ve said about what has happened the last week.

The day everything happened, I wrote this. Unfortunately, after only being up 6 hours, I had to go private because some people move from a place of fear and reacted with hate. Ironically, I now see accounts talking about the same things I talked about. It’s incredibly frustrating, and I wish I was stronger when people come to bully because I think last week this message needed to be conveyed, but what can you do😌I’m glad some are more receptive this week 😌

I then wrote this on IG, elaborating further since I didn’t have a tweet limit confining me -

I have also said this -

And yesterday I posted this edit. I was actually slowly compiling it for July, when 6 months had passed in 2023, but my gut told me a gentle reminder was needed + a breath of positivity on the timeline would be welcomed -

Which you can watch on my IG or TW (TW link here)

That is all I’m going to say about this. There’s so many theories running around and I’m not going to engage with them. I trust Tae and Jk, and what we’ve seen them show about themselves and where their heart is for YEARS, therefore I’m not bothered by any of this. My heart is heavy the timeline was so tense and filled with negativity this last week. I will never understand why people choose to bully those who have a different view than they do. I’m also sad how fickle minded and easily forgetful people are to what TK have shown😌

I can’t stress enough - I’m not going to entertain drama, bullying, arguing, etc so either please keep rude comments to yourself, or I’m going to block and not engage, and you’ve wasted your time. I always say believe as you want. I’m not here to convince, persuade or be a bandaid for insecurity. That holds true even now. Think what you want. I’m going to believe as I want too. Arguing and being hurtful won’t change that. I’m also not interested in debating anything, so I hope you can understand. I’d rather use my energy in more fruitful ways.

If things are making you feel drained, I want to gently encourage you to step away.

I really would love if we can move forward from a place of positivity and support, as we have been 🙏

I may delete this in a bit. I’m not sure.

💜💚

I'm already seeing the takes from people about how "Carlos stans" wanted Carlos to have development, but since he's no longer Mr. Perfect, we're being unreasonable about season 4 blah blah blah...

Look, if folks want to continue giving their time to Lone Star because it’s worthwhile to them, that's valid and their choice. But please don't try to dismiss and minimize the valid critiques and opinions coming from a subset of the fandom who simply want stronger and sensible storylines not just for their "fav" but also for all the other characters in Lone Star who honestly deserve so much better.

I love it when my characters are flawed--- in the hands of quality writers. In LS 3x13, Carlos was in the wrong, but he was given the space in that episode to develop and understand where TK was coming from, and he showed this empathy through action. LOVED IT. (Miss you, Season 3!)

We have gotten none of that development or empathy on-screen this season (the tasteless marriage jokes are not it). The pacing and the execution are just all wrong. You cannot repeatedly drop these storyline bombs and expect the audience to do all the heavy lifting with their imaginations.🤷🏽‍♀️

#it's lazy writing #and also ludicrous when you have such a talented ensemble of actors #who would knock those scenes we have to imagine out of the park #i've been keeping my thoughts bottled up folks #and here they are #sorry not sorry #911 lone star #911 ls negative discourse #sonia musings

Wip word search

I was tagged by @carlos-in-glasses @reyesstrand @heartstringsduet and @jesuisici33 (and possibly others? my activity feed is glitching right now)

rules: use this generator to generate three random words (or however many you’d like to do!) and share the lines where they show up in your wips!

"wall" - missing moment tag for 3x01

He wasn’t thinking about any of it, either, until he heard her voice. He’s getting better at keeping everything locked away in a box on a high shelf in his mind or behind a brick wall constructed of whatever instinct for self-preservation he has left. Days will go by and Carlos just goes to work and goes to the gym and sweeps the floor in the kitchen and almost doesn’t feel it licking at his insides like flames. And now it’s impossible to keep those thoughts and memories and the ache they bring from surrounding him.

"kid" - missing moment tag for 3x02

He gets the second lasso they created and loops it around the kid’s motionless body, hurrying because he hates the lack of color in the boy’s cheeks and doesn’t know how much time they have to breathe life back into him. Every time TK’s this deep into a rescue he finds himself powering forward with single-minded determination and the only other thought he ever spares a millisecond for is that he’ll never forgive himself if this fragile, precious soul doesn’t make it out alive. If he can’t save them, he won’t know how to carry on.

"feel" - missing moment tag for 3x17

He wonders if it will ever just feel easy. There are still always nagging voices, telling him that he needs to be stronger, manlier, more stoic and less needy. There are still things he doesn’t talk about, because he doesn’t know how to say them out loud and he’s so desperate for TK to love him despite all his shortcomings. But it seems to get better, degree by degree, all the time. Carlos has never felt as safe as he does with this man, and its so many miles beyond the best he could have hoped for in his wildest fantasies before he met the person cuddled in his arms.

I am several days late to this so I have no idea who's done it and who hasn't so open tag!

Ahsoka 1.07. THIS SERIES IS SO GOOD AND SO VERY STAR WARS.

Leia looking after her rebels!! Threepio!!!!

Mon Mothma, my queen. On Leia and Hera's side.

Bonus Anakin!!!! The training videos!!! He's still there in that way guiding her.

Zeb mention finally!!! Training recruits. I'll bet he acts all tough with them, with a false grumpy persona, and they love him. He'd be that teacher.

Ezra is so very very Ezra. Also Ezra's even stronger now. No weapons, only The Force. Kanan would be so proud.

Ezra and Sabine bickering over who should use his lightsaber

Ezra and Sabine in the chase scene had amazing Star Wars Rebels energy

Sabine was able to hear Ahsoka. So now I wonder if Sabine's sensitivity to the force is similar to how it works for Hera. Both of them can listen to The Force, they don't have tk. A tiny bit of receptiveness that seemingly is brought out by people they're close to. Hera being able to sense Kanan's force ghost on Rebels, and Hera being able to hear the lightsaber fight when Jacen asks her to listen. Sabine being able to hear Ahsoka, due to their bond, and Ahsoka is a powerful Jedi, and got past Sabine's blocks.

Only one episode left. I'm not ready!!!

Oh yeah, might as well post this!

Razputin Aquato Smash Bros. Moveset!

Yeah, I wrote this a while back and while the boy has never been on any nintendo consol, I just want to show some love to him. Plus, people are complaining about lack of Psychonauts content and because school is on my neck I feel like I can't do too much work that can be posted quickly.

Movement * Raz's walking animation is heavily inspired by Psychonauts 2's introduction in Loboto's Labyrinth. Very slow and deliberate. * Raz's run gives him a big gimmick, of moving his hit box way up as he summons his levitation ball to run on. His speed and control give him one of the quickest turns, with about 3-5 frames to turn around. However, he's tripped very easily. * Raz has two jumps, heavily inspired by Psychonauts 2, but allow him to get up much higher due to his weight class. * Raz’s Shield is flavored to the same way that it is in PN1, giving him an automatic crouch when he shields. This will also allow the shield to cover him up fully, however there isn’t much ability to move the shield itself, unlike with other characters like Sora.

Basic Attacks * Dash Attack (Attack while running) – Raz uses the Wrecking Ball attack as seen in the games, with him dashing to opponents with spikes on the Levitation Ball. This also negates any tripping that he would go through. * Side Tilt (tilt the stick side to side while attacking) – Weak Psi-punch * Up Tilt – A forward-flip with an upwards kick. Has major end lag. * Down Tilt - Kicks at a foe coming close, with a guarantee to trip any opponents who get hit by the small attack.

Smash Attacks * Side Smash (Hold the stick made for attacking to the side) - A stronger Psi-punch than side tilt, tends to launch opponents around 65-70%. * Up Smash - A TK Palm that thrusts upwards, and cancels any down airs that are attacking before the TK Palm forms. * Down Smash - A solid TK Hand bashes down and buries opponents. Is great to pair with a side smash.

Aerials * Neutral air (be in the air, and hold no sticks in any way. Attack) - A surge of pyrokinesis forms around Raz. A great tool to get opponents off of you. * Forward air (be in the air and hold stick the way Raz faces. Attack) - A Psi-palm attack, similar to the one that Raz used against the Judge in Compton's mind before the level starts. * Back air (be in the air and hold stick away from where Raz faces. Attack) - Elbows an opponent. Small damage that can cause flinching. * Up air - Does a backflip in the air, kicking his leg out to hit the opponent above. * Down air - Palm Bomb makes it easy to get to the stage and even causes a small explosion akin to Megaman's stickybomb. * Aerial Dodge – Twisting while using Time Bubble (like Bayonetta’s Witch Time).

Grabs * Larger grab range than some, due to the psychic powers. Like Joker’s Grappling Hook in the air, Raz can use Mental Connection to grab opponents and drag them towards him. * Grabs using the TK Hand (changes color depending on costume) * Pummel – by squeezing the hand * Forward Throw (tilt the attack stick in the direction Raz is facing) – Simply throws the character forwards, like the Second game with Telekinesis. * Back Throw (tilt the attack stick opposite of where Raz is facing) – Has more of an Arc, like the first game * Up Throw – Throws in a bit of Pyrokinesis, using fire to launch the opponent upwards. * Down Throw – Slams the Palm Bomb down (buries instead of explodes)

Special Attacks * Neutral special (holding special button with no stick input) – Psi-blast, can be reflected * Side Special – Confusion Grenade. Longer held, the further it’s thrown. Explodes and confuses upon impact. Can’t be reflected. * Up Smash/Recovery – Pyrokinesis from wherever Raz is and summoning the Lev-balloon * Down Smash/Counter – Blocks with both his hands with part of a Psi-shield. If hit he retaliates with a Psi-Palm attack

Gimmicks * Extra distance is given to Raz for getting up from ledges than other characters. His attacks, rolls, and jumps are given a boost due to his acrobatic nature. (great for countering ledge traps) * Can only walk above water with the use of Chio, cannot use dash or swimming when on water.

Other Aesthetics * Smash announcer says "Razputin" (The shitty Wii-mote speaker says "it's Raz" using a line recorded by Richard Horvitz himself) * Stage is based off of PN2’s Quarry, with the Motherlobe in the background. Platforms are the floating stone platforms that lead up to the Motherlobe. Can shift to float around the Quarry, or when Stage hazards are on, can shift the stage onto the Motherlobe landing pad. COSTUMES! * PN2 Outfit * PN1 Outfit * Black Velvetopia Outfit * Psi-King's Sensorium Outfit * d'Artagnan Palette * Sasha Palette * Milla Palette * Oleander Palette

* Stage Entrance - Comes out from a Psi-portal door and readjusts his goggles.

Taunts * Up taunt - Triple Backflip * Side – Zilch Dance (borrow from the animation where he punches Bobby while on the grind rail so he stays still) * Down – Brings out a Comic and flips through it

* Losing/No Contest - Politely claps. Around four per second Win Screens * Pulling one of the “Power Get” poses he loves to do. * Brushing himself off and then jumps, with a smile and fist in the air * Archetype congratulating Raz and hanging off of him

Yeah, I don't have anything for the Final Smash, but maybe others could come up with something?

Fylass Through the Looking Glass - Chapter Six EX - Against the Proscenium (TW: MILD GORE AND HORROR)

The Card Castle was as lively as before, yet, that feeling of dread never ceased around Wonderland, a place so joyful, yet it felt miserable; Dolly could swear that the sky was getting darker as she was walking towards it, and she could feel that someone was looking directly at her, from the corner of the eye, being a figure that she couldn’t recognize was there, being a dark entity with no visible features, only being able to see a haunting grin that extended all over its face, resembling a half moon.

She lost her composure, however, when she clearly saw a hand reaching at her shoulder, as the figure spoke up a few words, with a raspy voice that felt like it echoed from her ears.

"Don’t you look beautiful, dear?"

She screamed and was about to hit the figure with the nearest object she could find, only to see that Giselle, her so called mother, was where the figure once was; she was starting to think she needed glasses, but that couldn’t be; that voice was nothing she heard before, so she needed to be careful.

"O-Oh! Dolly is sorry, Mother, there was someone else around, and she got scared."

"Eh…? Do you mean Dero, TK or Ades?" Giselle asked in confusion, for the rest were not as close as they could be from the little girl, and she was sure that she hadn’t seen that "person" she’s talking about… Right?

"N-No! It was a dark figure, not as tall as Mr. Dero, and it had a scary voice; Dolly swears that it was right next to her!"

"...Dolly, there’s no one else around here that fits that description…"

"..." Dolly was starting to question the world around her. "...Sorry, Dolly must’ve imagined it."

"...It’s okay, dear, don’t worry about that."

Giselle grabbed Dolly’s hand to keep her calm, as she looked at Dero, who was behind her, making sure she was safe, but Giselle looked off, as if not everything was right with her, but no one seemed to do anything about it; after all, she hasn’t done anything bad, and Dero knew her as such kind being. She was someone he loved, and he didn’t have reasons to distrust her.

"Dero, the Moon Door is still at the same place, right?"

"Yes, My Queen. We are lucky that we decided to not seal it, even after all of these years ago. It’s at the deepest part of the Dungeons, and in all honesty, no one has placed steps on that area for too long, so we should be careful; we aren’t sure if there’s something else hiding there.

Giselle nodded, as Ades used his key, yet again, to open his door of the Castle; on the Suit Rooms, there are shortcuts leading to certain parts of the Dungeons, and the Diamond one was the only one available, cutting off a lot of walk that would be tedious; The Club Door was the closest to the deepest part of the Dungeons, but sadly, they didn’t have Fylass to open up the door.

The Suit Rooms’ layouts change, depending on the current Suit in charge; Chaos’ Room, however, was left open by mysterious means, so, three of the four Suit Rooms were already known, but the current Club Room. Dero was curious to see what it looked like, but he would surely get his answers soon, when Fylass came back.

Everyone moved across Ades’ part of the castle, and from behind one of the bookshelves, there was a set of stairs leading to the Dungeons, which were shrouded in darkness, being fairly lit only by the lanterns hanging from the gray, dusty brick wall. Dolly was hesitant to enter them, due to how gloomy they seemed, but gladly, she had stronger people around her that would protect her if something came across her way towards the darkness.

Step by step, everyone was quiet, trying to hear if something was roaming the place, but nothing seemed to be around, besides the common, harmless rats that never dared to get out of their hiding spots, although, as they walked and walked deeper into the Dungeon, the darker the lights seemed to be, being replaced by a sense of helplessness that was palpable on the heavy air produced by the dust; this section of the dungeons was abandoned long time ago, after all.

Soon enough, there were no more steps to be made, as everyone noticed yet another set of stairs, that seemingly was going upwards, possibly being the stairs leading to the Club Door, although, it was clear that the other end would be inaccessible, due to the main entrance being locked, so it was a waste of time. The other interesting thing, though, was the dusty set of doors that emitted a strong, silver light out of them, giving insight on the one and only Moon Door.

"...This is it… I never thought that I would see this door again, but here we are…" Ades said with a tone that only emitted faint frustration.

Giselle came towards it, and pulled out the Moon Key from her pocket, seemingly emitting that same exact silver light from the one of the doors, and with a hesitation she seemingly didn’t understand completely, inserted the key on its keyhole, turning on its own, and opening the doors with little to no struggle, revealing the inside.

The inside was clear and pristine, resembling an observatory at its fullest, with a circular, silver room, similar of a circus tent holding off millions of constellations, and at the center of it, floating planets were held in place, with Gamble Galaxy’s Solar System, being a sight that they weren’t familiar with, as always; there were lots of doors on the sides, all of them leading to rooms of all variety, from libraries, to laboratories.

"...Okay, Me and Dolly will visit his bedroom, which should be that door over there; Ades, you visit the Library, TK, you visit the backyard, and Ms.Giselle, you visit his Main Lab." Dero said, as the other obeyed him. It would take a while to take a look at everything this room had to offer, but it was clear that something new was in this section, and they were going to find it.

Dero and Dolly took a peek to Cosmounse’s Bedroom, which was behind the smallest door of the area; it was eerily tidy, with a thick layer of dust covering every single object across the room, which were from pencils, to books, which were on a drawer, similar to the ones you’d find in an office; the drawers had been emptied out, only leaving even more dust behind; it was bound for Dolly to sneeze in this room, apparently.

"Achoo!" She accidentally stumbled towards the books on the drawer, dropping them; although, that made Dero notice that Cosmounse’s Diary was here, being another privilege of the Suits, being able to have a book with infinite pages to write. Ades was lucky he hid himself pretty well.

Without ado, Dero congratulated Dolly, as he asked her to open it, and turn its pages for Dero, due to his lack of limbs, and capacity of only being able to lift a sword by pure magic. Many of its contents were scratched out by thick, black ink, although some sentences were left untouched.

"It sometimes comes the time to strike; what’s the point of pretending, when the world around you is an illusion?"

"All of them are truly wonderful, all oblivious of whatever may be next for them. This is just entertainment for someone that they can’t even dare to see, due to someone’s cowardice."

"I see the kid, crying painfully as my thorns keep piercing through his skin; his pleas reach nowhere, as his platelets render themselves useless, and he bleeds out from any orifice. Truly a haunting sight, that only ceases when those tears do, and with that, everyone lives happily ever after."

"Nobody came for him."

"Scratched faces, I don’t care to see… Who am I kidding? There are no faces."

"Being a person in this world, only dooms you to a life of pure misery and despair. How do I know that? I am the reason for this. :)"

"I had no idea that he hated me this much."

"Purpose. The Queen has no purpose."

"I’ll give them air. There is no cure."

":)"

The rest of the pages were completely filled with gibberish, and the diary somehow closed itself, and when Dolly tried to open it, it only closed again. She wasn’t able to see most of the pages due to Dero prohibiting her from doing so, thanks to the eerie content that surrounded those, and considering what it held, it was the better choice he could’ve made.

"Mr. Dero, are you done…?"

"...Indeed." He didn’t understand any of the Diary’s contents, but something gave him a bad feeling, as he’s being held by a threat to a well of despair.

"...Mr. Dero, are you scared?"

"...With you, and the rest, there’s not much I can be scared off, My Queen." Dero was lying; he was scared, and very. That feeling of not knowing how to deal with a threat that should be gone, only for it to still be lingering is terrifying. Still, he needed to be strong for everyone.

The last time he wasn’t able to be there for others resulted in two tragedies, the most recent one being all those years ago in Underland, when the Jabberwocky, somehow, made itself present in the midst of a festivity between both kingdoms.

It was horrifying.

Dero was there, only being able to see the cries of help of people that slowly met their demise mere seconds after; many weren’t able to get to their homes, but the ones that did, were slowly engulfed by the flames of that same beast. Dero was about to fight it, until the former Queen of that time ordered all the Wonderlanders to leave as soon as possible, leaving Underland to die.

Hours of silence came after, and soon enough, the Jabberwocky flew out of the Looking Glass, seemingly with someone on its jaw, who was dropped seconds after, and afterwards, The Jabberwocky fell into a great slumber. It’s assumed that the Underlander died from the fall, but no one was sure.

The Wonderlanders decided to enter once more, only to see everything destroyed, with less than half of the people around trying to fix the mess caused; The King was there, looking totally different thanks to the crown he had on the head; that day was supposed to be his coronation day, but thanks to the recent incident, his coronation had to be rushed; everyone could tell he was in pain.

He realized the Wonderlanders entering back, and with a rage that was uncharacteristic of him, exiled every single Wonderlander from his domains, calling everyone out as a bunch of cowardly traitors that doomed Underland, and killed the Bishop off.

Dero was pretty regretful of being able to do anything, only being able to look back at it with nothing but sorrow.

That sorrow was interrupted, however, when he received a hug from Dolly.

"Dolly knows you are lying, Dero, but Dolly understands. She is scared too, but we’ll get through it together!" She wasn’t really sure what she was exactly saying, but those words comforted Dero in some way.

"Ah… Thank you, My Queen. We should get out of this room already, though; we wouldn’t want you to get sick by all of these layers of dust." Dolly agreed, as she walked out of the room. Dero did as such.

Both could notice that the rest of the group was getting out of the respective rooms they were assigned to check, but no one seemed to have found anything interesting; or atleast, not that they could see.

"...Anything interesting?"

"Nope. All I could find were rows and rows of books about astrology." Ades.

"All I found was withered flowers on that made up backyard; there’s not even real sunlight!" TK said.

"...I… I found nothing in the lab." Giselle said.

"Hm… Alright, well, that would mean that we need to go to Underland… If we have luck, those Underlanders can’t recognize us."

"...Why would you fear that they might recognize us?" Giselle seemingly didn’t know about what happened to Underland.

"...You’ll see when we get there, for sure. Fylass and the rest are there, so you would figure it out soon anyways."

"...Okay… Let’s get out of here, please."

Everyone was about to leave, until they heard a growl from the outside. It was clear from who it was.

Everyone sprinted towards the outside, as fast as they could, using the stairs of the Diamond Door to get there quickly, and the entrance revealed the Jabberwocky, at last, being here, seemingly wanting to hunt.

"MY QUEEN, STAY BACK!" Dero pulled out his sword to fight it, although the Jabberwocky was faster, but not on attacking, but on leaving. Where, though?

"...What the…?"

Dero realized that there was a big gap in the sky, revealing Underland’s White Sky and Grandfather's Clock, and the Jabberwocky crossed it. It felt like the sky suddenly shattered, and when the Jabberwocky left Wonderland, the sky "repaired" itself.

"...Oh no…"

Tarlos @flufftober day 3 (yes, finally)

"Wait, you love me?" "Always have."

Push (AO3)

Some missing moments from Push (S03E04) between TK waking up in the hospital to him coming home to the loft with Carlos.

(after every --- it's a new day)

------

“Hey.” TK said softly to a sleeping Carlos next to his bed. He gave his hand a squeeze. “Carlos.”

Carlos’ eyes flew open and he looked panicked for a moment before finding TK and a sleepy smile spread over his face.

“Hey.” TK said again.

“Hey yourself.” Carlos replied and moved his chair a little closer to the bed, pressing a kiss to TK’s knuckles when he settled down again. “How are you feeling?”

“Tired. Kind of cold. Still.”

It had been a rough 24 hours. From TK almost dying and Carlos trying to get himself to say goodbye, to him miraculously waking up and getting stronger by the hour.

They were back together but they both knew there were still some difficult conversations to be had. Later. For now though Carlos just sat by TK’s bed and held his hand, fingers lingering on his pulse point, just to remind himself he was there, he was ok, and most importantly, he was his again.

“The doctor said that’s to be expected. It’ll take your body some time to recover from everything.”

TK gave him an amused look.

“What?”

“Have you been talking to my doctor about me?”

“No, no, no. She came to talk to your dad earlier. He was here. And I just… heard it too. I wasn’t digging or anything.”

“Babe, relax, it’s ok. I don’t mind.” TK assured him and Carlos seemed to relax a little at that.

“Do you want me to go find a nurse and ask for another blanket? Or maybe a hot water bottle? I don’t know if they have that but I can ask.”

“No, I’m ok. I just want you.”

Carlos smiled.

“You have me.”

---

“Aren’t you uncomfortable in that chair?” TK asked. He’d woken up from a nap and Carlos was right there in the chair next to his bed. Right where he’d been the past 48 hours, only leaving the room when the medical staff forced him to, or for quick bathroom breaks.

“I’m fine.” Carlos insisted. He sat up a little straighter and cracked his neck and rolled the stiffness from his shoulders. “Your dad went to get some food and call your mom. I think she’s planning on flying out as soon as the storm lets up.”

“Is it still going?” TK glanced at the window but the blinds were closed.

“I don’t know. I haven’t been outside in two days.” Carlos admitted reluctantly. “My mom dropped off a change of clothes for me and some food while you were asleep.” He explained.

TK nodded and they sat in silence for a while. He hated how awkward things still were between them. He’d never had a problem talking to Carlos, not even when he was still in denial he was falling in love with him.

“Don’t you have a shift?” he asked after a while.

Carlos shook his head.

“I had some time off scheduled. To… work on the loft... They made me take the days.”

“Oh…”

“I only got called in because of the storm. And because Marj was back at it again. I didn’t want anyone else picking her up.”

“Wait you arrested Marjan?” TK asked, carefully steering the conversation away from painful topics.

“Yeah. A few times actually. Didn’t she tell you?”

“I haven’t seen much of her lately. Fire got moved to other houses in the city and with the three of us working for Paragon… We just don’t really get to hang like we used to.”

Carlos nodded.

“Do you still hate working for Paragon?”

“So much.” TK groaned. “They only care about money and profits. If I take too long helping someone, I get called into the office to explain myself. But… it’s the only way I can keep working with Cap and Nancy, so I don’t have a choice.”

“Well… I’m here if you want to vent.”

---

“Hey, I found an episode of grand designs. It's probably a rerun though, so you’ve probably already seen it.” TK told Carlos when he came back into the room after a shower.

The nurses had started to take pity on him and his back, and had worked their magic to get a second bed put into TK's room as well as given him a towel and some soap so he could freshen up.

It had been four days since TK had all but come back from the dead and Carlos was slowly starting to accept he wasn't going to disappear or die on him if he left the room for more than five minutes.

“I haven't watched much TV lately. I picked up a lot of extra shifts. I uh… didn't want to be in the loft on my own. I mostly just went to bed the minute I got back after work.” Carlos told him and sat down in the chair next to TK's bed again.

“Let's watch it together then. I think it's just started.” TK scooted over and patted the mattress. Plenty of room for both of us.

“No, no, I don't want to hurt you.”

“You won't. Come on, I want to cuddle with my boyfriend.”

Carlos hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and giving in.

“You play dirty.” He said as he carefully got on the bed next to TK, wrapping his arms around him.

“Maybe. But it works.” TK replied, slipping an arm around Carlos' waist and getting comfortable in his embrace.

They watched the show without really paying attention to it, just happy to be close to each other again.

---

“And then Paul got stuck inside the ice house with the girl, but we got them out. And her dad was so happy, he wanted to buy us a Ferrari.” Mateo excitedly told them.

Mateo, Judd, Paul, and Marjan had stopped by to see how he was doing and catch him up on everything that had happened the past few days.

“Uh no, he offered to buy me anything I wanted, you two just tried to talk him into buying you expensive cars.” Paul cut in.

“Hey, I’m a new dad, I deserve to celebrate.” Judd replied.

“Celebrate by having someone buy you a sports car?” TK asked laughingly. “Anyway, show me a picture of my goddaughter.”

“Who says you get to be her godfather?” Marjan asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest. “Almost dying does not automatically give you godparent rights.”

“Oh and being a social media star does?”

“No but being a kickass firefighter might.”

“So that makes me her godfather.” Paul said, daring the others to disagree. “Since you are no longer a firefighter.” He pointed at TK. “And out of the two of us, I’m the one who saved the girl.”

“Technically you didn’t save anyone. The rest of the crew saved you both.” Marjan pointed out.

“Alright quit your fighting. We haven’t decided on godparents yet. But my brothers and Grace’s sisters are higher on the list than y’all.” Judd told them. “But you’re all more than welcome to babysit.”

“Sure. I’ll be happy to.” Marjan said, a little too loudly. “Auntie Marjan will teach her how to deal with all the stupid boys in her life.”

TK laughed.

“She’s only a few days old, Marj.”

“So we’ll start early so when she gets to an age where boys become annoying, she’ll know how to deal with them.” Marjan replied. “Like when they’re obviously still in love with the guy they broke up with and won’t tell you why but just mope around for months.”

“Well you won’t have to deal with that anymore.” TK told her and looked at Carlos who was sitting next to him on the bed, quietly observing and letting the madness wash over him. “Right babe?”

Carlos just smiled and met him halfway when he leaned in for a kiss.

---

“TK will you please tell your mother I am not lying or trying to placate her when I say you’re doing better?” Owen said, exasperated, walking into TK’s hospital room, holding his phone away from his ear.

TK had been moved out of the ICU and onto a regular ward that morning, but thankfully still had a room to himself.

He took the phone from his dad.

“Hey mom, dad is not lying. This time.” He joked and laughed at Owen’s reaction. “I’m ok.”

“What does your doctor say about that?” Gwyn asked. “I know what you and your dad are like.”

“Mom, I really am ok. The doctors actually think I can go home soon.” TK lied. He was desperate to get out of hospital but none of the doctors had said anything about discharging him yet.

“As soon as the weather improves and Jonah’s ear infection clears up, we’re on the next flight out.” Gwyn promised. “I hate the thought of you on your own in that hospital because your dad has to single handedly save Austin from a blizzard.”

“I'm not on my own. Carlos is here.” TK said, ignoring his mom’s dig at his father and reaching out for Carlos’ hand.

“Oh Carlos is huh, does that mean the romance is back on?”

TK laughed.

“Don’t pretend dad hasn’t told you.”

“He might have mentioned him being at the hospital a lot.” Gwyn admitted. “But you know what your father is like, he never tells me anything important and leaves out all of the details.”

“There are no details. Carlos is here, we talked, I love him, he loves me… and we’re back together. We know what not to do now. We want to make it work. We are going to make it work.” TK said determined and looked at Carlos who squeezed his hand in confirmation.

Suddenly he heard a loud wailing in the background and Gwyn sighed.

“Jonah just woke up. I have to go honey, I’ll see you soon. Give Carlos my love.”

“I will. Give Jonah a kiss from me. Bye mom.” TK replied and ended the call.

“Wait, you love me?” Carlos asked, mischievous smile tugging at his lips.

TK had missed that smile.

He put a hand on Carlos’ cheek and leaned in.

“Always have.” He murmured right before kissing him to show him exactly how much.

Next to them Owen said something about giving them some privacy but neither of them noticed.

---

“Hello TK, good to see you again.” Andrea Reyes walked into TK’s hospital room, making both him and Carlos sit up straighter.

“Mama, what are you doing here?” Carlos asked her.

“Coming to see how TK is doing of course.” She said matter-of-factly. “I ran into Owen yesterday and he mentioned how the two of you have been camping out here, so I thought I’d come visit and check on you both.”

“I’m sorry for not keeping you updated. I was going to come over but things have been a little hectic here, especially the first few days and - ”

“It’s ok.” Andrea interrupted and looked at the two men for a moment and smiled. “Carlos, will you go get me a coffee from the restaurant downstairs?”

“There is a machine down the hall… The coffee isn’t great but it’s drinkable, or I could try getting you something from the nurse’s lounge. They won’t mind. They know me by now.” Carlos rambled.

“Carlitos.” Andrea started. “Por favor.” She just said and waited.

Carlos sighed and got up.

“Si mama.”

She waited until Carlos had left the room and then sat down next to TK’s bed.

“If you’re coming to give me the shovel talk and tell me not to hurt Carlos again, you won’t have to. I love him and I won’t ever hurt him again, I promise.”

Andrea smiled.

“That’s good to know sweetheart.”

“I’m really sorry I hurt him.”

“I know. He does too.”

TK nodded.

“I know I’ll have to earn your trust again after everything, but I promise I will do anything to convince you I’m serious about Carlos. I love him and I want to be with him. Forever. If that’s how long he’ll have me. And that’s probably not what you want to hear but…” TK trailed off, not really knowing what it was he wanted to say.

“Carlos is a big boy, he can make his own decisions about his love life.” Andrea told him. “If he’s happy, I’m happy. And if you boys want to be together again, then I’m the first to welcome you back into the Reyes family.”

“Really?”

“Of course. All I’ve ever wanted is for my kids to be happy. And you make Carlos happy, anyone can see that.”

“He makes me happy too.”

“That’s all that matters.” Andrea patted his hand. “Now when you get out of here, you boys should come over for dinner sometime. Gabriel would love to see you again too and I’ll make ropa vieja the way Carlos’ grandmother makes it. It’s his favourite.”

---

“I’m going stir crazy in here.” TK complained. “I haven’t been outside in almost two weeks.”

“The last time you were outside you nearly died.” Carlos reminded him.

“Yeah but I didn’t. And now I feel like I might die of boredom.”

“Oh I’m boring you am I? I’ve been in this hospital just as long as you, sleeping in these uncomfortable chairs, and this is the thanks I get?” Carlos said, trying to sound serious and angry but the smile on his face gave him away. “Give me five minutes.” He got up and quickly kissed TK before leaving the room.

“Where are you going?”

“Five minutes!”

“Carlos!”

“I’ll be right back!”

True to his word, Carlos did come back within five minutes, but TK wasn’t thrilled with what he’d brought with him.

“What’s that?”

“Someone who has spent as much time in hospitals as you have should know what this is.”

TK rolled his eyes.

“I’m not getting in that thing.”

“Why not? It’s the perfect solution to your boredom problem.”

“I can walk.”

“You’ve barely walked more than 10 steps the past two weeks. Come on, get in.”

“Why do I have to get in a wheelchair? How is this a solution?”

“Because..” Carlos started, grabbing a blanket from the bed and draping it over the chair. “We’re going out.”

“Out? Out where? I can’t just leave this place. My mom will fly over here and drag me back herself.”

Carlos chuckled, knowing Gwyn would probably at least try to do exactly that.

“Just downstairs. To the hospital garden. The weather is nice.”

“How do you know, you’ve been stuck in here with me the whole time.”

“One of the nurses just told me.” Carlos said laughingly. “Come on, let’s get some fresh air and maybe some ice cream.”

“Are you seriously bribing me with ice cream?”

“That depends… is it working?”

After a few minutes of back and forth, TK reluctantly got in the wheelchair and let Carlos wheel him to the hospital garden where they sat down on a bench.

“This is nice.” TK admitted, closing him eyes and tilting his face up to the sun.

“You mean I was right? This was a good idea.” Carlos teased.

“Shut up.” TK shot back, happily accepting the kiss Carlos pressed to his temple.

They stayed on the bench for a while, sitting close together to keep warm because TK refused to cover up with the blanket and choosing to wrap himself in Carlos’ jacket instead.

“I can’t wait to get out of here. I feel fine and I’m just taking up a bed when there’s someone out there who might really need it.”

“I’m sure they won’t keep you here longer than necessary.”

“I know…” TK sighed. “I’m just bored. And I miss my own bed.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah, is that so strange? It’s a hospital, not a hotel. The beds aren’t that comfortable. And I’m fed up with the blood tests and the IVs and the wires they keep attaching to me.”

“I know. I get that. I just… there’s something I wanted to talk to you about.”

“Ok… Sounds serious…”

“No. Yes. I mean. Yes it’s serious. But nothing bad, I promise.”

“That does nothing to reassure me.”

Carlos shook his head. The conversation was not going the way he’d planned.

“I was hoping... That when you can get out of here... You would want to come back to the loft. With me. Permanently.”

“Are you asking me to move in with you? Again?” TK asked, a smile spreading over his face.

“Yes. Again. I don’t want you to go back to your dad’s house, I want you to come home with me. The loft was always supposed to be ours… but I understand if you think it’s too soon or you’re not ready or something but -”

TK shut him up with a kiss.

“There’s nothing I want more.” He vowed. “But you’re helping me tell my dad.”

hi ada! it's nice ask week! i hope you don't mind me coming into your inbox!

what are your 3 favorite scenes in lone star?

what's your favorite hobby outside of fandom?

what's your favorite song/album right now?

Hello Rachel; I don't mind at all! I hope life is being kind to you and that hateful messages cease entering your inbox for the rest of time <3

what are your 3 favorite scenes in lone star?

Oh gosh, only three??

Maybe it's cheesy but I love the proposal scene. There's so many layers to it: the fact it was episode 3x18 and TK woke Carlos up at 3:18 in the morning, just after Carlos told TK he can wake him up at 3 a.m. if he needs anything??? I love the red string of fate, I love synchronicity I love soulmates. I also love the fact TK holds Carlos' hands the way he did when he told him they make a pretty good team. I say it all the time, but they really do hold one another like that's the reason God gave them two hands <3 Also the way TK rocks back and forth with excitement? The same way he flipped the ring he was going to propose to Alex with but because of anxiety? If I'm going to love anything it's a reference let me tell you that much!

I have gone out of my way to show people the Lou story line because to this day it might actually be my favorite. It's so miniscule, in a way, in the grand scheme of things but nothing beats TK walking in, posed like this: 🧍‍♂️and asking Carlos if they were robbed. As if the COP would just be sitting in a mess of a living room if they had 😭

Saving Grace is tied with Push as my favorite episode and I'll occasionally think of Grace telling Judd, "You're so tall." and Judd replying with, "You're so beautiful." and feel the need to scream because I LOVE them so much. I have a spin-off I want to write based off a Tarlos AU that's in the work and I can't wait to write them falling in love because I love falling in love with their love.

what's your favorite hobby outside of fandom?

Media consumption seems like the weirdest thing to call a hobby, but truly, that's what it is!

I love watching films that I don't know I'm about to love (Humboldt County, my beloved) , discovering new television shows that rewire my brain (looking at you AMC's Interview with the Vampire), listening to music that feels like sunshine (Cannock Chase by Labi Siffre, you will always be famous) or reading a book that makes me want to bite a brick (A Density of Souls by Christopher Rice ruined my life (affectionately)

If I'm not doing any of that, and this is going to sound so corny, but I write! I've been working on a novella for a little while as I'm trying to prepare something for grad school (that isn't gay firefighter fanfiction lol) and I was working on a book of poetry before realizing that I'm a much stronger narrative fiction writer than I am a poet (Ada Limón if I could just have a sprinkling of your voice please ma'am)

what's your favorite song/album right now?

Album wise it has to be Cowboy Carter. I've been saying it since forever, but Beyoncé truly is on a very different level than any other pop artist we have right now (and I like a lot of them! I loved eternal sunshine and I can not WAIT until Dua drops her third album in May)

If anyone is the music industry right now it is her because she is constantly reinventing herself as well and influencing the industry as whole. Did you know that she's the reason music comes out on Fridays now? Her impact !!

Anyways, one of my favorite genres of music is Classic Country; so think 1950s, 1960s Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Skeeter Davis, Lee Hazlewood, Glen Campbell; that whole bunch.

So, I was so excited to see what Beyoncé was going to cook up because that is a woman who makes sure each and every thing she makes is perfection and my god, it got as close as any of her work has gotten so far.

It also features an interpolation of Good Vibratations by The Beach Boys, who's one of my favorite artists so it feels like this album was made specifically with me in mind. Here's hoping Act III is rock because I need to hear her with Jack White again.

#i don't get parasocial but if i it would be with beyoncé's entire catalog she's just been so damn good and is still so damn good #thanks so much for the ask!!#asked and answered

I think that anyone on twt these past couple of days would say it’s a toxic nightmare.

Kths & Jjk’s are fighting to the death & it’s such a shame - ofc anyone that loves Tae is so sad at the sabotage he has faced & also that the majority of the fandom has moved on so quickly to 3D.

It’s up to us to keep streaming & try to achieve what we can for that gorgeous, talented man.

But that’s not Jungkook’s fault- he wants to get his work out on the world stage & ofc he’s going to take advantage of the huge push he’s getting from Hybe - why wouldn’t he?

Jungkook is hugely marketable & he’s said he wants to be a huge pop star - he’s already taken off like a rocket & I fully expect him to have more bb #1 & probably a Grammy at some point.

During Layover, it became extremely obvious that the majority of Taekookers are Jk bias - numbers don’t lie & Tae, while he’s done so well, could have done so much better.

And now, large numbers of Taekookers are stopping being Taekookers.

But from what I’ve seen, it’s not because they blame Jungkook for Tae’s lack of promotion etc. That’s down to Hybe & no one else.

Sadly, it’s become obvious that Tk just aren’t together anymore.

Because what man would completely ignore his bf’s debut, never like or comment on his tiktok dance challenges or post a single thing for him, while constantly talking about & praising another man & having a holiday with him?

Unless you believe Jungkook is a total selfish dick (I don’t think he is) that behaviour just doesn’t make sense.

And let’s be honest, the whole ‘silent support’ & ‘BH won’t let him support’ rubbish that Taekookers use to self soothe…. That just sounds ridiculous.

Jungkook has told us he does what he wants & makes his own decisions- why would we believe that he can’t drop a like on a tiktok?

Personally, I tried really hard to believe Tk are still together.

But things change, relationships fail & we have no idea what their lives are like.

So yeah, I’m really sad about it (sounds a bit stupid when it’s people I’ll never know🤷‍♀️) & my heart hasn’t wanted to face the truth for months 😢

But they’ll probably remain friendly- 10 years + in the same group will mean there’s always a connection.

Hi anon!

So, this seems to be a hot topic again after Jk's short live. And I kinda get it.. maybe... but I also don't.

The thing that I get is that people are obviously confused about the total lack of Jk doing anything concerning Tae's debut. I also expected him to do something, nothing big, but something... and he didn't. So I get the disappointed and confused part a bit.

What I don't get is the negative conclusions around it. If anything Tae and Jk have been showing us their closeness this year. You think they broke up... but when would that have been? The Dream premiere was very clear, them at Yoongi's show together was all good, Tae supporting Jk at Inkigayo.. all good. So I absolutely don't think they broke up inbetween somewhere. I also don't think Jk doesn't care for Tae.. even if they are only friends... they are obviously very close and Jk loves Tae a lot. I also don't think Jk is selfish and their relationship is onesided/lopsided. Tae himself said Jk will do whatever he asks almost. If you look at Tae and Jk's interactions... Jk loves Tae just as much as Tae loves him. Which bring me to Tae's behavior. Nothing in Tae's character or behavior makes me think he would let Jk use him or let him walk over him like that. Basically... I just have trust in their characters I think. I think they genuinely love each other.

SO what could be the reason for Jk not doing something? I think the clue may lie in his recent live. He was clearly talking pr-strategy when he mentioned not having done a live to make anticipation stronger. He might have also been advised again anything Tae. I know I'm gonna get shit for this, but my reason for thinking so is that Jk not posting anything Tae also doesn't make sense if you think of them as only members or friends.

I know some make this out to be that Jk doesn't want to encourage Tkkrs. If Tae and Jk aren't together as we think and are just close friends... Tkkrs won't be much of a factor in Jk's decisions. Tae as a friend would matter way more to him than a bunch of shippers being wrong.

I don't know what the deal is exactly, but I am quite sure it isn't that Jk doesn't support or love Tae.

#taekook #jk live #got a lot of asks about this #not gonna answer all of them
