I’ve got a request if you are taking them. Ruben helping the reader after getting her wisdom teeth out? Super fluff!! Love your work xx

Okay, so I sat down, ready to write this fic. Then my mind drifted away and I got really inspired to write another fic instead.

I'm sorry for not including the pulling of the tooth, but I tried to keep it "super fluff" 😅

Ruben Dias x Black Reader - Clumsy

Enjoy!

Clumsy wasn't enough to describe you. You were clumsy, embarrassing and utterly childish for not learning how to walk in heels until the age of 24.

"Are you okay?"

A stranger came to your rescue. Hopefully he missed the part where you faceplanted to the ground. I mean who trips on their way to brunch? On your way from brunch would have made way more sense.

"Yeah, I'm okay." You said, collecting your purse and accepting the hand he held out to you. You were brought to your feet with one swift motion. He was strong, a thousand times stronger than you.

"But you're bleeding."

"Yeah, I can see that."

It was your knees, bruised by the sidewalk. You were going to have a serious word with whoever one of your friends that suggested everyone wear pencilskirts to brunch.

"I've got some bandaids at home. I live right there." He pointed to the tall building across the street.

"Fine."

The place where you were having brunch was only around the corner anyway. And what was worse, showing up late for brunch or showing up with blood running down your ankles?

"I'm Ruben by the way." Said the strange man escorting you, arm and arm, across the street.

He lived in a remarkably fancy apartment. "I'm Y/N." You said, your eyes in awe of the decor you were met with. It's not that you thought that the guy was broke, but he did dress like he was about to rob a convenient store.

"Sit."

He ordered you to take a seat on his couch. You did as you were told in wait for him to return with the necessities to clean your wound.

"Does it hurt?"

He focused on clearing the blood and dirt first, a bit primitive in the way he went about it. His hand gripped your thigh, holding you still in a way you would never allow a man to do even on the second date.

"Y/N, does it hurt?"

You forced him to repeat the questions since you had been to concerned with his hand on your thigh.

"No, it's fine."

"Did you hit anything else, like your head?"

"No."

You thanked the gods that he hadn't witnessed your takle of the ground with your face. He must have just come around the corner when it happened. Perhaps he had been out for a jog? At least he dressed like he had been.

"I think this should do it."

Once the blood was gone and his hand was off your thigh, you could think straight again.

"I'm never wearing heels again, that's forsure."

You took them off and stretched your legs out on the couch. Ruben grabbed the wool he had used to clean your wound and threw them in the bin. He returned with two bandaids to cover the bruises with.

"They don't match my skintone." You said, not to be picky or anything.

"I didn't know they were supposed to do that." Ruben looked to the package, scratching his head.

"Well they are. It's so no one knows that you've hurt yourself and I'm quite desperate for the world not to know that I can't walk in heels."

Ruben chuckled, but did make his way to the door. "I'll be right back."

You thought it was sweet, he was sweet and handsome.

"There." He said, satisfied with finding a bandaid that matched your skin. He had returned from the store with three different selections of bandaids for you to choose from.

"Thank you Ruben. I don't know how I'll ever be able to repay you?" By the looks and view from his apartment, he seemed to be getting payed well enough.

"How about dinner? You look like you can cook."

"Come again?" You frowned. "You want me to cook you dinner?"

"As payment for helping you out, yes."

"B...but..." You were about to deliver the greatest speech on how chivalry was dead and how men killed it, when Ruben's lips widen into a devious grin.

"You're fucking with me, aren't you?"

"About the cooking thing, yes, but not the part about wanting to have dinner with you. Unless..." His cheeks blossomed. "Unless you're not up for it, of course."

He was charming, kind and handsome. A deadly combination.

"I'd love to have dinner with you."

It was a deadly combination indeed, but a perfect excuse for being late for brunch.

This way when your friends asked you about the reason for your delay, you didn't have to tell them about the bruise on your knees from the faceplant. You could just tell them that you bumped into a handsome stranger who is now taking you for dinner.

"Great. I'll give you my number on our way down." He said, escorting you out of his apartment

heyy, could you do an imagine with rúben in which he is the participant reader of the couple question from GQ?

que dupla (what a duo) | r. dias

rúben dias x stones!reader

a/n: u ask and i deliver! my very first rb3 fic so bear with me, i will get the flow of it soon! i have also written something like this with martin øde, so if u wanna check that out, it's here. enjoy ⭐️!

synopsis: you and rúben feature on gq's couples quiz

content/warnings: fluff, shy&giggly!rúben, y/n is a john stones apologist

—

"hi, i'm manchester city and portugal's rúben dias." he introduces himself as the cameras begin rolling.

"i'm y/n stones," you do the same. "we're here with gq today to do the couples quiz."

you had already done your turn, and so now it was rúben's turn. "y/n, where was i born?"

"um..." you hum. "amadora, portugal."

"she's already so good at this," rúben shrugs. "when is my birthday?"

"may 14th," you answer. "one of the greatest days in my life."

"stop, i'm blushing," he wasn't lying. rúben's cheeks flush red as he looks through the next couple questions. "do you know the exact date and year i signed for manchester city?"

"yes, i think," you answer immediately, before having a couple minutes to try and get the date right. "it was in 2020. tough time for the entire world. um, was it september 28th or something?"

"so close baby," rúben grits his teeth. "it was the 29th. greatest thing i've ever done. baby, what's my full name?" he asks the next question.

"oh i know this! rúben dos santos..." you pause.

"rúben dos santos?" rúben repeats, prompting you to continue.

"dos santos... gato. right? and uh... alves dias," you finish. "rúben dos santos gato alves dias. it's a mouthful." you look into the camera.

"yeah, sorry," he giggles. "what is my brother's names?"

your eyes widen at the question. god, you should know this one. "um, ivan."

"ivan, that's right," rúben giggles again. it was music to your ears, if you'd like to be cheesy about it. "what position do i play for city and portugal?"

"you are the rock of both teams. they should know what i mean." you shrug, grinning at rúben.

"i'll take that as a compliment on my body, thank you," rúben raises his brows and licks his lips; something he does when he's proud of something. in this case, his body. "yeah, i'm the brick wall. the defender."

"the best centre-back. after sergio ramos, of course."

"of course," rúben agrees. "before city, which club was i with?"

"benfica," you answer as soon as rúben asks the question. "i'm a proud benfiquista because of this brick wall over here."

"who is my best friend at city and portugal?" rúben asks the next question.

"see, i've talked to rú about this," you begin. "i've asked him this question before, and before he gave me his answer, i told him that if it isn't my brother, then we cannot be together. so your best friend in city is my brother john. your best friend in portugal, that i don't know."

"yes, john is correct. portugal, to be honest... i don't have one. but i'd say maybe cancelo, because we used to play together. or maybe félix. definitely cristiano, of course, although he's really close with pepe." rúben goes on a tangent.

"rú, get straight to the point. who is your best friend at portugal?"

"cancelo and félix, i'll just say that," rúben finally decides. "okay, how tall am i?"

you blow out a breath. "god, i dunno. you're so much taller than me!" your barnsley accent is showing now. "but i know you're about the same height as john. i'm guessing 5'9?"

rúben puts his hand over his heart. "i'm so grateful you think so highly of me, stonesy. i'm 6'1, actually."

"there is no way!" you argue.

"yep, 6'1. maybe you're just short," rúben laughs after receiving a hit to the bicep by you. "okay, babe, last question. rúben dias or john stones?"

"what?!"

"answer the question." rúben was smiling, but from the tone of his voice, he was serious.

"listen, john is my blood. he may be annoyin' but he's still my brother. johnny stones all day!" you answer confidently.

rúben puts the cards down on his lap before crossing his fingers together. "after all we've been through, y/n? you'd still choose that dork?"

"rú, he's my brother! i feel like i'm obligated to say john." you explain.

"he's not here, though- whatever. and with that, we now know that y/n stones doesn't like me more than her dorky brother. i've been rúben dias."

"and i've been y/n stones," you glare playfully at rú. "see you soon."

once the cameras cut, rúben stares into your soul. "i'm telling john about this."

"what's he gonna do? mansplain it to you?" you laugh.

serenading was really the last thing i ever wanted Kate to do as her grand gesture and i still don’t love it, but the amount of people who keep calling a big, awkward, public gesture hugely ooc for Kate and keep saying they miss the old whistler who wasn't dumb, oh DIA Whistler was so much better. its the show’s first season. i don’t think it’s even possible to be ooc when the writers are just starting to create these characters and we barely know them. we only saw ‘cool, confident, bossy dia whistler’ for about 6 episodes before 1x11 happened and changed everything, and while she’s still all of those things she was changing even before the breakup happened and with all the growth she’s gone through, she’s going to end the season looking pretty different to how she started (fair warning, this is a little unhinged and unorganized, just a little)

her arc has been about her learning to let people in and learning to be more honest with her feelings, to not be afraid of putting herself out there and learning how to stop pushing people away as a result of the impact Lucy and the team have had on her. it’s about making yourself vulnerable and trying to find people who will accept you even if you’re an awkward giraffe. throughout the season the writers have been telling us that she: finds it hard to be open and show her emotions, she puts her orders before her feelings at work causing everyone to view her as the ‘bad cop’ and that sucks, she really wants to make connections with her coworkers, but she doesn’t know how and she’s kinda bad at it, she was afraid of starting something with Lucy (and messing it up) because Lucy’s the most amazing woman she’s ever met and she wanted to keep it on the downlow until she felt she could handle it, is actually very charming and sensitive and goofy underneath that hardened exterior

there’s a reason Ernie describes her as “the tall one acting goofy,” she tries to keep her relationship with Lucy a secret and yet you can see her softening as a result of it and being unable to hide their connection and pull to each other even at work. Jesse notices they’re making googly eyes at each other during the Pearl Harbor tour in 1x09 and remarks that “there’s a certain DIA officer i haven’t seen around your desk recently,” because she couldn’t fight the gravitational pull drawing her to Lucy’s desk everyday, literally the worst kept secret at the office you morons! In 1x12 she’s sprinting after Lucy practically shouting after her (loud enough for all of Pearl Harbor to hear) even when she’s asking if Lucy’s going to throw their relationship away that easily. Kate gets a pass with Jane because how can you pretend you don’t care about Lucy after she could’ve died on an UC mission and as for Kai, well, he has two eyes so he definitely noticed too

the Whistler in 1x01 would definitely not be going over to Tennant’s house after 1x14 and sharing a drink with her (might not have warned her about Glenn Smith either) and maybe she wouldn’t have tried comforting her when Jesse went missing in 1x15 (not because she wouldn’t have wanted to, but maybe it would have been harder without all the stuff that happened in between as a result of the Lucy romance) and that’s growth baby!

as for her acting ‘dumb’ and goofy, whistler’s greatest hits (paraphrased):

1x07: the entire opening scene right in front of Ernie's coffee, like ladies its barely 9 in the morning

1x09: “i want to be intimate” “here???”

1x11: "i like this" "the coffee? its fair trade." "so i think i win the dumbass award." "yes...no! NO!"

1x14: “creds... that’s what all the cool agents say :)”

1x17: “the source of the attack was some sort of pineapple” “like the fruit?” (also forgetting she never apologized to Lucy)

1x20: while looking like a beaten bloody piñata “I’m fine just some bruises...and some minor head trauma...” “i did not have Lucy surf quotes on my bingo card today”

1x21: “about the power of love!” -silence- “...anyway i think that’ll help us get through to David” (we were all raving about this scene and how cute it was, but we don't want to acknowledge all the work it took to get here?)

The writers have been showing it all season, this is just who she is the more you get to know her, not liking it is different than ooc

Kate just sucks at talking and processing her emotions on the spot and can’t always immediately formulate a response right away whether you’re her boss or her colleague or her ex girlfriend (she ghosted a girl for months for god’s sakes which is probably honestly where most of the ‘this feels ooc for Kate’ criticism comes from and it’s hard to blame anyone for that because wth Kate, but it also serves as the biggest indictment of how her lack of social skills has effected her life and now it’s finally catching up to her)

a lot of people call Whistler rushing in without thought or backup to be ooc, and while they’ve shown that she’s smart and good at thinking things through (figuring out a way to help the team in 1x06, with the Clark Lohan thing in 1x10, using David's wife’s fate as leverage to get through to him in 1x21), that’s been behind the scenes we never saw her do field work during her stint at the DIA so there’s nothing really to base the ooc claim on, the first time we see her in the field is in 1x17 (she only transferred to the FBI 3 episodes ago) when she rushes in and Lucy has to stop her so it’s not out of the ordinary for her to do something similar in 1x20 at Agent Jones’s house, Whistler in the office and Whistler out in the field are different because they’re different environments entirely (and she’s new to the field)

i dont think the people calling Whistler ooc for acting goofy and socially inept would call her ooc for turning down a promotion anywhere from 1x06-1x13 to stay close to Lucy after early Whistler was billed as ambitious and career-driven (but i guess it’s different because it’s romantic without being awkward...), if we’re going to throw that term out there we should examine all her actions that way not just the one’s we maybe don’t like

you can criticize the writing and the show all you want we all have different opinions we’re not all going to agree on how good Whistler’s development has gone, but i don’t think it’s fair to say any public grand gesture or Kate acting ‘dumb’ is completely out of left field, yes she was more cold and distant and mean earlier (and maybe you preferred that way more) but as the show has progressed you get to see a different more shy, uncertain, dorky side of her and that's not ooc that's just how humans are

she’s been slowly stepping out of her comfort zone all season and Lucy’s influence on her has inspired her to finally make a running jump into the deep end to win her back because she loves her and that’s how much she means to her (my favorite post about the grand gesture written before we knew it was a singing gesture LOL) that's the whole point isn't it? the power of love! has changed Whistler! she's never felt this way about anyone before and is clearly woefully inexperienced in love, she misses Lucy and wants to win her back no matter what so she's willing to listen to anything and do anything to show her she's all in and wants to be with her and only her! love makes us do crazy things, but it makes sense after a season of pain and regret

unfortunately for some people, Kate also happens to be less competent socially so that’s going to manifest in truly awkward (and secondhand embarrassing) ways, but she’s always been capable of this because she’s a multifaceted character and the writers have been showing us that

#ncis hawaii #kate whistler #kacy #all the criticism and thoughts ive seen on tumblr has been cool and fine but the twitter folks just make my head explode #its like every time kate shows a not Cool trait shes ooc? theres a reason everyone calls her the dumbest smart person (affectionate)#shes got one braincell for work! whenever she uses it for her personal life or for following ernies advice is laughs at her and explodes #imma be real this is kinda petty and ranty bc of one specific kate stan on twitter i keep seeing firhrgjrg #like i cant even enjoy their fics bc they start all of them with 'i wont do u dirty like the writers have'#like wym the writers have treated me fine i loved 1x20 i loved all the kacy angst lol #like yas and tori are great and theyre 50% of it but who wrote the lines they say that make me love lucy and kate more and more everyday #also i dont think its possible at all for a character to be ooc...in season 1 like the writers barely know them yet how can i claim i do #like ok you like the character but then you hate the writers for half the traits theyve given them so do you actually like them???#this is all incoherent and im sorry #yes i still dislike the serenade but like i understand the point of the big gesture and why u would go there #get you a hot lesbian mess who can do both!#im delirious i probably shouldnt post this and ill regret it but i will anyway #like i saw someone ask what have they done to you whistler #oh idk given her a personality??? made her likeable and made the audience want to root for her? like yall LMAO

Whumptober Day 11

Prompt #11: Betrayal Pairing: CM Punk/Dia Banks (OC) Mentions Of: Colt Cabana, Bash Ryland (OC), Cassidy Cabana (OC) Verse: Main

The definition of insanity was allowing yourself to do the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result each time. Dia Banks was very familiar with that saying. Each time 𝒉𝒆 had come back into her life, she had always acted as if he were going to change. Each time, 𝒉𝒆 had shown to her that there was no chance he was a different man.

It was the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled, after all, and each time Phil Brooks showed up in her life, Dia allowed the devil to lie to her just a little bit more.

It was why she was so angry that she allowed herself to show up to this dinner, after being sent a text from an unknown number, simply giving her the name of the pizza place in Chicago. After seeing the name of the restaurant, she didn't need to know anything else. The last time she had been there was during her training as a member of the Second City Saints. Everything in Dia told her to tell her Colt where she was going, to tell her Bash where she was going.

There was a betrayal in the fact that she hadn't told them where she was headed.

Dia 𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒘 she shouldn't be here right now. She knew even as she moved towards the little table in the back, the same table she had once met Phil at early on in her early career without the rest of the Saint's knowledge, that she shouldn't be here. There he sat, hat pulled down low and playing on his phone. How dare he look so peaceful, especially in this light. How 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒆 he text her to come to this place that had once meant so much to the two of them. Had Brawl Out meant nothing? Had the way he humiliated both her and her son not been enough to sour her on the man?

And then he looked up at her with that boyish smirk, playing with the lip ring between his teeth, "Hey Di."

Dia slid into the seat across from Phil, "What do you want? What could you possibly want?"

Phil reached across the table, placing a hand on hers with a charming smile, "C'mon, Di. Don't be like this."

She drew in a sharp and slow breath, "Be like what? Be worried that this is all a trick from you?"

HIs eyes scanned to the bag next to him and the smirk on his lips was a little more sinister, "A trick? Diamond, you know me better than that."

"I know you well enough to know that's the kinda man you are," Dia blanched at the use of her real name, quickly pulling her hand away from him. Gods he was so 𝒇𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈. A waiter brought two drinks to the table, along with a full size pizza. A small smile took her lips, before she banished it, "How did-"

"Mt. Dew and an Italian special," Phil smirked as he stole a piece for himself, "it's the same thing we ordered the first time we came here. People don't change, Di. They just get better at hiding their spots."

A flash of recognition hit Dia as she took the first bite of pizza. Phil's eyes had glanced to that red bag again and Dia felt uneasy. What was in there? What was he hiding from her? "Cass changed. Since he started hanging around Adam, he-"

"He hasn't changed. He still hasn't told you the truth," Phil shrugged one shoulder, "I guess we've had enough chit-chat, huh? I came to warn you."

"Warn me?" Dia raised an eyebrow before sipping her drink, "About what?"

"In this bag," Phil began, scooting back to tap the rep bag next to him, "is something that will ruin your sons reign. I'm gonna tell the world at Collision. I at least wanted to give you a fighting chance. You keep pushing yourself down to make him happy, to make the bozos you've married be happy. Fuck that, Diamond. Fight with-"

Dia gestured for a waiter and asked for a to-go box before she dared look back at Phil. There it was, a betrayal like only Phil was capable of. He could build her up so high, make her feel so good about their friendship, then take her down just as quickly. "My family is my pride and joy. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, Phil. And yet here we go again. My answer is fuck you."

Rita Lee, Brazil’s undisputed Queen of Rock, dies aged 75

Tributes pour in for founder of Os Mutantes, who sardonically named her tumour after far-right president Jair Bolsonaro

Rita Lee, the legendary Brazilian musician, composer and founder of the trailblazing band Os Mutantes, has died at 75, prompting emotional tributes to Brazil’s undisputed “Queen of Rock”.

Rita Lee was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2021, memorably nicknaming her tumour “Jair” – a sardonic reference to Brazil’s widely loathed then president, Jair Bolsonaro.

The pioneering artist and feminist icon, who sold more than 55m records during a six-decade career, went into remission last year but died at her home in São Paulo on Monday night.

“At this moment of profound sadness, the family thanks everyone for their affection and love,” read a message on Lee’s Instagram account, inviting fans to a public wake at the city’s Parque Ibirapuera, one of Latin America’s largest parks.

News of Rita Lee’s death sparked an outpouring of emotion and reverence towards one of the most important figures in contemporary Brazilian music.

“I’m a wreck. The Greatest has left us … There will never be another Rita Lee,” tweeted the Brazilian rock singer Pitty.

Brazil’s culture minister, the singer and composer Margareth Menezes, hailed her as a “revolutionary woman”.

“The world has lost one of the most unique and incredible people who ever existed,” one of her sons, João Lee, wrote on social media. “What an intense and spectacular life you had. Admired and loved by so many people. So ahead of your time.”

Rita Lee’s huge domestic following was matched by an army of international fans, reputedly ranging from the Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain to King Charles.

In 1988, the Daily Mirror reported that during a British embassy banquet in Paris, the then Prince of Wales had asked for a Rita Lee record to be played. When the appropriate LP found its way on to the turntable, the future king “already knew the words by heart”, the British newspaper claimed.

Rita Lee Jones de Carvalho’s first forays into the world of music did little to hint at the stardom to come.

As a young girl born in São Paulo to an American father and a Brazilian mother, she took classical piano lessons but, according to one newspaper report, suffered from stage fright and wet herself during one audition.

Rather than retreat from performing, however, Rita Lee threw herself into music, founding the seminal psychedelic-rock group Os Mutantes in 1966 with Arnaldo Batista and Sérgio Dias.

“[The group] has come from another planet to take over the world,” the singer-songwriter declared in her first interview with the Folha de São Paulo newspaper.

She was right. The subversive, LSD-fuelled trio became a key part of Brazil’s Tropicália movement which, spearheaded by composers Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé and Gilberto Gil, blended traditional Brazilian music with electric instruments and foreign sounds.

“The bottom line is that we were light years ahead of everyone else,” Rita Lee remembered in a 2001 interview with the New York Times.

An immediate sensation in Brazil, it took Os Mutantes several decades to find international fame and recognition – but eventually it came. Kurt Cobain met the group during a 1993 trip to Brazil, hailing their “revolutionary” sound and the “guts” they showed producing such daring music during the 1964-85 military dictatorship.

Rita Lee left the group in 1972 but not before helping produce a staggering catalogue of classics including Balada do Louco, Baby and Ando Meio Desligado.

As a solo artist, the red-haired rocker recorded a succession of equally successful and irreverent hits such as Amor e Sexo and Lança Perfume. Her more than 40 albums included a 2001 bossa nova-infused homage to the Beatles called Here, There and Everywhere.

Bolsonaro, whose followers were reportedly outraged by Rita Lee’s decision to name her tumour after him, said nothing about the musician’s death. But his successor, the leftist president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, posted a lengthy tribute calling Rita Lee “one of the greatest and most brilliant names in Brazilian music” and “an artist ahead of her time”.

“She thought the title of Queen of Rock was inappropriate but the nickname does justice to her trajectory,” Lula wrote. “She … inspired generations of women in rock and in the arts. She will never be forgotten.”

In her 2016 autobiography, Rita Lee wrote what she hoped would be her epitaph. “She was never a good example,” she wrote. “But she was a good person.”

Prodigy (Final Rose x Pokemon)

♦Topic: Averia Yun-Farron In: Boards ► Trainers ► Upcoming Trainers LightningSupremacist (Original Poster) (Lightning Groupie) Posted on August 14

Ever since Lightning Farron retired (undefeated, of course, because she’s awesome that way), I’ve been struggling to fill the pink-haired void in my life. Sure, she’ll slaughter her way through at least a couple of invitational leagues a year, but it’s just not the same.

I miss the days of bowing before our beloved tyrant. Don’t get me wrong, her successors haven’t been awful, but they just don’t have the same aura of invincibility. As a fan, I was beyond spoiled. I never had to worry about her losing because she, well, didn’t lose. Ever.

Now, after years of hoping she’d start battling in earnest again, we’ve got the next best thing: Averia Yun-Farron, her older daughter, has officially captured her first badge.

And, boy, oh boy, is the battle a doozy. You have got to see this to believe it. She’s a chip off the old block and then some.

Here’s the video.

Prodigy doesn’t being to cover it. That’s a gym leader’s full-strength team. Not the baby team they send out for people without a badge. No, that’s the team they send out against trainers who’re league level.

(Showing Page 1 of 1) ► LightningSupremacist (Original Poster) (Lightning Groupie) Replied on August 14 You’ll want to pay really close attention to her Blastoise. Yeah, a Blastoise. Apparently, she’s had that guy for years now, and it really shows. I’m pretty sure she could have swept the entire team with just her Blastoise. Instead, she took out the lead pokemon and then switched to the Torchic we know she caught last week because we’ve got it on film.

Ever seen a Torchic take out a Golem? Now, you have.

I didn’t even think that was possible. Just wait till that thing evolves. Arceus help us all.

► BattleJunkie (Lightning Groupie) Replied on August 14 Okay... that is terrifying.

I’ve been watching rookie trainers for years. Averia is no rookie. Just look at the way she controlled the battle from the start. She knew exactly how to deal with each of her opponent’s pokemon. I’m not talking about scouting either. I mean, yeah, everyone kind of knows how you’re supposed to deal with a Golem or a Steelix, but actually doing that is way harder, especially with a newly caught pokemon.

And that Blastoise? A monster.

Water pokemon spamming water everywhere is kind of what they do, but that guy has incredible aim, precision, and the sheer pressure on his attacks was insane. Slow down the footage when Steelix runs into Water Gun. You can actually see the water carving a furrow through Steelix’s armour. And that’s just a glancing hit. You can also see the exact moment the gym leader realises it too.

No wonder they called Steelix back. The whole point is that Steelix can tank almost anything. Up against a water type whose water pressure can literally carve through Steelix armour? Yeah. That’s a lost cause. ► FarronForever (Lightning Groupie) Replied on August 14 This is crazy! She walked into a gym with three pokemon, challenged the leader’s full strength team, and then walked out without losing a single pokemon. Are we sure Professor Dia hasn’t actually created some kind of tiny robot body for Lightning to operate remotely?

In all seriousness, though, who didn’t see this coming?

Lightning is the greatest champion we’ve ever had. There was no way one of her kids were going to be weak. I think the really scary thing is that Averia isn’t just copying her mother’s team or how her mother fights. No. She’s already got what looks like her own style, and it already looks extremely effective.

How long do you think it’ll be before she’s ready to challenge for a title? I mean... I’m not saying the world is a better place with a Farron as World Champion, but...

Our girl is the champ!

Just under a year to pick up eight badges and win the league! If that isn’t impressive, I don’t know what is. And the scary thing is that she’s only going to get stronger. Sure, Blastoise has finished evolving, but the rest of her team hasn’t finished evolving yet. She literally took a team of half-evolved pokemon + Blastoise and won a league with it.

The grand finals were something else too. You could really see her command over the battle. Lightning has always fought like a chainsaw: she’d just rip through opposing teams like they weren’t there. Averia doesn’t have the raw power on her team for that just yet (except maybe Blastoise), so she had to be a bit cleverer.

And, damn, was she clever.

It’s like she planned the entire thing. It was all ‘And now you’ve fallen into my trap’ and ‘Did you realise that you’re only furthering my plans’ and ‘Did you know this obscure fact that is going to let me obliterate your team in precisely three seconds?’.

So damn cool.

Better still, now that Averia has won a league, we get official merchandise!

Author’s Notes

Just a bit of fluff.

In-universe, the pokemon world went ballistic when Averia not only began her journey but immediately showed she was every bit as impressive as anyone could have hoped. Lightning remains, to this day, the ‘people’s champ’, so for Averia to show up and start annihilating people was like a dream come true for many people.

At the start, of course, a lot of her fans were simply fans of Lightning, but as she continued to prove herself, she carved out a larger and larger fanbase of her own. This became especially apparent as the differences in fighting style became clearer.

You can only imagine how crazy the InfoNet went when it became apparent that Diana would be challenging Averia for the title of World Champion. It was the first time two siblings had ever faced each other for the title, and it became the highest (until that time) viewed championship bout.

Once Diana, Averia, and Taren had all retired (as world champions), the wait is on to see if any of their children decide to try for titles too. You can imagine how people react when Phoebe starts her journey. With Averia and Cynthia as parents, the expectations are sky high, and when she starts meeting them?

More insanity.

Ruben Dias x Reader - A House Is Not A Home Part 4/8

This chapter = A forbidden kiss 💋 🤭

Ruben's wife dies during childbirth along with their son. Ruben hasn't been in a relationship since. Y/N is a single mother to a four year old boy. She buys a house in the small town that Ruben lives in. The house needs alot of fixing which Ruben helps with, resulting in him slowly falling in love with Y/N. However, falling in love with Y/N makes Ruben feel like he is betraying his dead wife.

Enjoy!

You and Ruben rode in his truck on the way to the house.

"No, turn it up."

"What, the radio?"

"Yes, I love this song." You leand forward, stretching your hand to turn up the volume yourself. Ruben looked at you with a crooked smile.

"What, you don't have a favorite song?"

He snorted. "No."

"Don't lie."

He frowned. "Why would I lie about that?"

"I dunno, because you're trying to hide the fact that you're a swiftie like me."

"A what?"

"A swiftie. A fan of singer/songwriter Taylor Swift."

"Who?"

You rolled your eyes, turning up the music a little more. "Johnny would've loved this song." The sounds of Wildest Dreams burst through the radio, the base of the song felt throughout the car. Ruben kept his eyes on the road, failing to hide his grin. He reached out to turn down the volume once the song faded, the radio station moving on to play the next greatest hit.

"So when is he coming?" He asked.

"Pardon?"

"Your husband. He's eventually coming down to live with you in the house, right?"

"Um...right."

Nothing really prevented you from telling Ruben about Johnny. You had to lie initially, but now that the deal was done, the house being yours, there was really no need to keep it up.

"Is it hard, being away from each other?"

There was a longing in Ruben's voice when he asked you this question, a longing you knew that you couldn't ignore.

Ruben nodded understandingly. You couldn't imagine how much he must miss his wife. And his son, who he never got to meet.

"Yes. I miss him alot." It wasn't a lie, you really missed Johnny, your son, more than anything in the world. "I try to tell him to be patient, but he gets so anxious, you know."

"So...what are we doing today?" You asked, an attempt to lift the fallen mood.

Ruben perked up. "Um...I have a guy coming to check the powerline. It must have snapped during the storm for there to have been a power outage."

"Okay. Will he be able to fix it today?" As much as you loved staying with David and Katarina, their hospitality towards you was well overdue.

"I hope so."

You arrived at the house before the powerline guy, meaning you and Ruben had to wait for him. But waiting made you restless so you naturally began exploring your new home. You walked up and down the hallway downstairs, amongst the furniture covered in sheets. Now that you knew the story of Ruben and his wife you weren't sure weather you should get rid of some of the stuff that had been left behind in the house.

"Do you think it's possible to get rid of the wall?" You returned outside, having pondered the question.

"What wall?" Ruben frowned.

"The one in he living room?"

"Y/N," He chuckled. "There is more than one wall in the living room."

"Ruben, you okay?"

"Then come and see it for yourself."

You turned around, ready to march back into the house.

"Ruben?"

Realizing that he wasn't right behind you, you turned backaround. Ruben stood frozen outside his old house, staring up at it, looking lost and afraid.

You approach him.

He shook his head. "No."

"No?"

"No."

The words slipped out of him with caution, but Ruben explained that he was simply terrified of stepping inside his old home, which had been left untouched for years after his wife passed away. He felt like the memories were too much to bear, and he couldn't bring himself to renovate or even clean the place out of fear of losing the last remaining bits of his beloved partner.

You listened patiently as Ruben shared his story, and then you offered him your hand.

"Everyone has to face their fear someday, even you."

There was somthing childlike with Ruben taking a hold of your hand. Like a toddler, trusting its parents to guide them through life. Nevertheless, that's exactly what you did. With your back turned to the house, you guided Ruben into it, one step of the time. Once you were inside it came naturally to you to grab a hold of his other hand, guiding him deeper through a house that probably held so many of his memories, happy and sad.

"It's this wall." You stopped once you reached the living room. Ruben held your gaze for a bit longer, having never let his eyes wander freely as the two of you had entered the house.

"I want to take down this wall and separate the living room from the dining room. This could make the space feel more open." And less intimidating, you thought.

Ruben observed the wall, nodding his head understandingly. He seemed to have found himself again. "Alright, just let me get my sledgehammer."

"That was fun." You collapsed on the floor, surrounded by the rubble of the old walls.

Together, you donned your gloves, ready to tackle the task at hand. You and Ruben took turns with the hammer, tearing down the walls of the house. With every blow, he looked to find a newfound sense within himself, a new found strength. You chatted with Ruben, sharing stories and jokes to distract him from the emotional weight of the moment. At first, Ruben was hesitant and nervous, but as the afternoon wore on, he began to relax and enjoy the process. You laughed together as you knocked down the walls, creating a new, open layout for the house. By the time you finished, Ruben looked transformed - no longer haunted by the ghosts of his past, but instead filled with hope and gratitude for the present.

"I'm worried for you." Ruben chuckled, stretching you a hand to help you back onto your feet. He didn't like you laying amongst the debris.

"Worried, why?" You frowned, letting his strong arms pull you to a stand.

"If this is what you call having fun." He said. "Then I'm worried for you."

"Stop it." You hit him in the arm. "You know what I mean. It was kinda fun bringing down a giant wall with a sledgehammer. I feel like I got all my rage out."

"It was something alright."

You stood close enough to see the sweat dripping down Ruben's forhead. You could imagine the shower you would need after this. It had been a workout of its own kind. A DIY workout.

"Y/N I..."

You were suddenly aware of how close Ruben's face was to yours, his breath warming your cheek. If you had payed less attention to the sweat dripping down his forhead you might have noticed how he was looking at you, how Ruben's eyes had been shifting from your face to your lips with a lustful glare. And so when he kissed you it came as a surprise, making you stumble backwards. Ruben caught you, his arm wrapping gently around your waist, railing you in to have you pressed against his chest.

"Ruben." You moaned against his mouth.

The kiss had deepened, with Ruben grunting in response, his eager front pressing against your pelvis. It felt good. Too good.

"Ruben please." Your palms to his chest slightly pushed off of him, the rest Ruben did himself.

"Fuck, I'm sorry."

He took a step back with wide eyes, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"It's okay Ruben, I didn't..."

He shook his head. "No it's not. I shouldn't have done that, I shouldn't have kissed you."

You frowned, having just been caught by surprise. Had the kiss been that bad for him?

"You have a husband Y/N." He said, reminding you of your lies.

"Oh." You chuckled. "No Ruben, it's okay I...."

"It's really not...okay."

"What? No. I'm not married Ruben, you don't have to...."

The sound of a honking horn interrupted. A truck had pulled up outside.

"I'm sorry, I have to..." Ruben was glad to escape, leaving you behind.
