How about the Hazbin hotel gang with seraphim child reader who just somehow appeared after ep 8

⌦ 𝒲𝒜𝑅𝒩𝐼𝒩𝒢𝒮 ﹕angel dust - swearing, just him being him. Alastor - ill intent, possible swearing. Mentions of killing, mentions of blood. Nifty - she tries to kill you, dw you dont die. this too me so long im gonna cry
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ okay, firstly just know that the crew goes fucking crazy- I mean they just fought an entire army of exorcist angels and killed Adam, the first man Adam!! So they all think that you're sort of there to try and punish them all for it, so they all get ready to attack (even though you're LITERALLY a child, children are wild though)
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ that's until Charlie, bless her heart, recognizes you (and depending on if you tried to defend her in court just like Emily) and rushes up to you, holding her arms out happily- thats until Angel Dust surprisingly tries to stop her
"It's you!" Charlie gasped, her eyes widening in a pleasant surprise, you were the third and youngest seraphim and much like your older sister Emily felt the need to defend Charlie and her idea of redemption- the thought of allowing those who suffered to see the error of their ways and correct them and then given their reward of eternal peace sounded brilliant, much like Emily you were horrified to learn of the exterminations. You were the first one to openly agree to what Charlie had said despite Adam's comments and facial expressions, you also helped Emily in trying to make the court see what was wrong with this method, unfortunately your plans did not work, though Charlie remembered your efforts and clearly she enjoys your presence. At the glee in her tone, you smiled and stepped forward, wanting to give a hug to the princess of hell though paused in confusion when someone looking oddly like a spider stopped her.
"Woah there toots!" the spider called out to his friend, grabbing her arm to halt her movement- Angel dust was staring both you and Charlie down- a look of uncertainty and distrust painted all over his face "Why ya going to rando angels? what if they were sent down here to finish the job for Adam?", Angel did have a point- you appeared put of no where and was just standing outside the hotel? pretty suspicious.. though Charlie is quick to cool things down "Oh no no no! They're alright, they're a friend! They mean no harm at all- in fact [name] was one of the angels who supported my idea!" she turned to you joyfully, smiling from ear to ear "We can trust them!" ... "okay but how did they end up here? in uh hell?" Husk piped up, his voice full of boredom- or annoyance (you can never really tell with husk, what an odd man) "Oh I fell! ... or rather- I threw myself out of heaven" you happily answered the question, giving everyone a quick second to process what the actual fuck you just said.
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ thats how you joined the hotel! Pretty nice innit??
Tumblr media
𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐄
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ Charlie adores you! you're such a sweet little thing, you're a sweetie and are just so kind to everyone!! (at least that's what she likes to think)
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ she thinks of you as a little small sibling!, after all you're the youngest of the team and act just like her, plus she always wanted a little sibling so you're perfect!
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ any ideas she thinks of or any redemption exorcises she runs them by you- to see if they can be more or less effective to get her friends into heaven
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ Since Charlie could only stay in heaven for so long, she loves to ask you about heaven and how it was like- always being so invested in your stories, she honestly cannot get enough of them!
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ also, Charlie is... painfully aware that she can never get into heaven, ever. Afterall, she's not only a hell-born but also literally the heir to the throne of hell so yeah there is no chance for her redemption, something she cannot handle- she cries knowing this but now that she has you- someone who ran from heaven, actively choosing to leave and come here gives her comfort. Now she'll never be alone, she has you and you have her!
Tumblr media
𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐅𝐄𝐑
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ At first, Lucifer was startled and untrusting of you- you're a seraphim, someone that was just like him and could possibly actually take him down despite you being an actual child.
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ over time, the king of hell did grow warmer to you, after all he sees a bit of himself in you. Both ex-angels, both hate heaven.... it's like you're his second little one!
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ Sometimes, when lucifer isnt busy with his actual child, he hangout with you- entertaining you with his magic while you return the favor with little stories and things, sometimes you even create little gifts like flowers for him.
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ Lucifer vows to keep you safe, even though you can easily take down hundreds of sinners and even overlords, it's paternal instincts what can i say?
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ this man totally makes you ducks- he has enough experience in making ducks so you know own a few dozen in your hotel room- how lovely!!
Tumblr media
𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ oh this man, this radio demon. He's out for your soul, absolutely hell-driven to get it, and it's all for power (who could have guessed)
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ He doesnt like kids, in fact he can confirm that he absolutely HATES children though he will act all kind and lovely to you- remember though it's all an act! don't fall for it, he just wants your soul (if he gets your soul, your angelic soul? fuck- he'll be even more powerful than before, having an angel's soul would make him practically invincible!)
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ This guy, funny fella really. HE CANNOT BUGGER OFF. Whenever you need help with anything he's the first to appear and offer a helping hand- and then in return as a favor back asks for a deal- is he serious? (yes. he always is)
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ Alastor though also, much like everyone else becomes a a bit soft for you- occasionally creating those little weird shadow creatures to play with you, since everyone around you are adults and are busy it's a way of keeping you entertained when they're busy
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ He, also, understands that you are more powerful than him- and knows that if he gets on your nerves enough he'll probably become dust.
Tumblr media
𝐍𝐈𝐅��𝐘
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ at first, Nifty only had one goal: to kill you (hey don't blame her! Charlie told her to stab and she's still under that impression)
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ good for you though!! coz you fly up right as she even tries to stab her dagger through your chest- Charlie and Vaggie immediately grabbing nifty to stop her from moving and killing you.
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ after the whole misunderstanding, Nifty actually enjoys begin with you! you're clean, and help kill bugs (well really it's you pointing the bugs out to Nifty and her killing them)
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ You're, unsurprisingly, taller than Nif so she likes to climb up on you and sit on your shoulders or stand on your back while holding onto your shoulders. She finds you the most comfortable to climb- plus she can hide in your wings and be used as a secret weapon.
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ she adores playing with roaches with you- while you are grossed out by it slightly, you still play to entertain Nifty (then after you sanitize your whole body about ten times)
Tumblr media
𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐋 𝐃𝐔𝐒𝐓
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ angel tends to avoid you, not out of hate or spite or anything- it's just.... well he is aware of how he is and well he doesnt want to ruin you in the sense of his dirty talk and swearing.
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ though occasionally he finds himself stuck looking after you, which is.... fun.... no i mean really its fun as fuck!!! Angel makes all sorts of jokes, offers you alcohol (you did almost take it if it werent for husk and practically everyone else to all collectively pry the bottle of vodka out of your hands)
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ angel dust also teaches you some very creative swear words! so now, whenever you feel like talking you run around screaming weird insults at people, Alastor has heard you shout "EAT ASS AND DIE HORSE FACE FUCK BITCH!!" a few times to random sinners
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ The... star, is actually proud of teaching you those words- hey if you wanna stay in hell you gotta act like it!
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ hides you away from Val- though somehow you still find out about him, and when you learnt how he treated your spider-friend.. uhm, the studio was in smithereens and val was close to death- now permanently loosing his right arm (just his right arm for now)
Tumblr media
𝐇𝐔𝐒𝐊
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ to you, Husk is like the weird- drunk uncle who just got out of prison. Though, he's the cool drunk uncle.
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ Husk doesnt really speak to you, which is brilliant coz you dont really speak- so the two of you communicate through looks and gestures, leaving everyone in the hotel watching you two 'talk' very confused.
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ never gives you alcohol, no matter how much you ask with 'cherries on top' and if he does catch you with any intoxicating drinks he snatches them off of you- scolds you a bit then drinks the beverage himself.... hypocrite
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ Husk helps you avoid Alastor, he doesnt want to see you being under his clutches, you dont deserve that you're just a kid.
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ He also teaches you how to do magic tricks just incase you ever want to become a magician... and sometimes he teaches you how to play card games- or how to gamble
Tumblr media
𝐕𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐈𝐄
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ In all honestly, Vaggie is very much threatened by you- because like, do i even need to say it?? YOU'RE A SERAPHIM !!!!!
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ Buttt as long as Charlie is okay with you and you don't pull any stunts to try and sabotage the team you're alright! Just dont try anything.... please
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ she accidently treats you like a soldier sometimes- a habit from her exorcist days, speaking of you could immediately tell she was one of those angels and while you did not like her at first you grew to like her- viewing her as a second older sister
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ you and Vaggie sometimes sit and remember old times in heaven- and you'd ask about the exterminations, though quickly stopped after noting her discomfort.
⿻ㅤㅤᱺ Vaggies also likes to try and swap weapons with you- to see if she and you can handle other weapons (unsurprisingly you both adapt quite quickly)

To Catch a Cardinal: Chapter V
Song recommendation for this fic!
Chapter I, Chapter II, Chapter III, Chapter IV
A/N: Here’s another one for you guys! This is sooo high school cafeteria vibes 💀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
•♥︎𖤐♥︎•
“He’s such a disgusting little rat.” Sister Emily growled, poking her spoon into her food, seemingly annoyed by the Cardinal’s mere existence.
“He’s such a disgusting little rat.” Sister Emily growled, poking her spoon into her food, seemingly annoyed by the Cardinal’s mere existence.
“I know right? He’s just… such a pathetic dork.” Lilith agreed.
You felt a scowl growing on your face as you took another bite of cream-of-whatever soup. Celery, you think it was. But who could pay attention to the soup with the vile conversation around you?
“Kinda creepy too. He seems like a weirdo, ya know?” Mable added, gesturing with her spoon.
“Yeah I totally get that vibe too! I mean, anyone who keeps rats as pets must be kind of weird, right? He’s like… one of those creepy loners.” Ava giggled.
“Exactly! I bet those rats are his only friends.” Emily laughed. “You know, he’s kind of like a car crash. Awful to watch but you just can’t seem to look away.”
“Why do you guys hate him so much? I don’t get it.” You interjected, setting your spoon down and looking at your friends expectantly.
They stopped talking, glancing over to you before their eyes flicked to one another.
“What, like you don’t? I mean.. come on.” Mable scoffed.
“No, I don’t hate him at all, Mable. He hasn’t done anything to make anyone hate him.” You responded. “I actually think he’s really sweet.” You added, earning a barrage of incredulous scoffs from the other sisters.
“Ew, don’t even say that! He’s disgusting and stupid!” Emily shook her head indignantly. “He’s so clumsy and honestly he’s just painful to be around, always dropping things and st-st-st-stuttering like a f-f-fucking idiot.” She scoffed. “I can’t believe you’re wasting your time being nice to him when you could be spending time with Rob. He really likes you, y’know.”
“Ugh, I know! You’re so lucky. Satan only knows what we’d do to be in your position. Rob is so hot!” Ava sighed dreamily.
“I’m not wasting my time being nice to Copia…” You scoffed, not even knowing what the reasoning was behind that. “And honestly? Rob is just a-“
“Hey, girls!” Rob’s flirtatious tone sounded above the chatter in the dining hall, causing you to roll your eyes as you cut yourself off.
He tried to pull out the chair next to you, but you placed your hand on the seat to stop him from sitting. “Sorry, I’m saving this seat.” You stated simply. Rob only shrugged, walking to the other side of the long table to sit across from you.
“Who are you saving it for? Seems like the gang’s all here.” He asked, not even hiding the fact that he was checking you out.
“Cardinal Copia.” You responded casually, causing Rob to chuckle, as if it was some sort of joke.
“Is something funny?” You asked, growing irritated.
“Oh, you’re actually serious??” He snorted. “You know, between you and me, I don’t think Copia needs a chair. More like a giant rat trap.” He said, causing your friends to burst out laughing.
“That’s a rotten thing to say.” You frowned.
“Aw, come on, sweet cheeks, don’t be mad. Rob smiled. “Hey, when are you gonna hang out with me, by the way? I’d like to get to know you better.”
“Um, we should all hang out!” Lilith suggested eagerly, the other sisters nodding rapidly in agreement.
“Don’t worry, ladies, there’s enough of me to go around! How about after lunch?” Rob grinned, but you only protested.
“No no, I’ll be busy, I have to work on Latin translations!” You made up an excuse. You were so preoccupied trying to avoid getting roped into hanging out with Rob, that you didn’t even notice Copia meandering into the dining hall with his little tray of soup.
He didn’t see you, instead going around to various tables to try to find a place to sit, but getting denied at all of them. Some of the siblings made up excuses like saving the seat for someone else, but others only gave him a dirty look and blatantly told him to go elsewhere.
“Sorry, no losers allowed.” A sister snapped, her whole table stifling laughter at Copia’s embarrassed expression.
“O-okay, eh, sorry..” He nodded timidly.
Your eyes widened as you recognized that pitiful little accent, immediately turning and spotting him.
“Cardinal!” You shouted, waving him over. “I saved you a seat!”
Almost everyone in the dining hall looked shocked that you wanted Copia to sit next to you, muttering amongst themselves about what someone like you could possibly want with someone like him.
A shy yet grateful smile found its way onto the Cardinal’s face as he began making his way to you. You sighed dreamily, gazing at him so fondly that you didn’t even catch what Rob was murmuring to Emily.
Just as Copia was passing Emily, she turned and stuck her foot out, tripping the man and causing him to fall forward, landing hard on the cold marble floor, soup spilling everywhere.
The poor man was stunned, barely registering what had even happened. After a few moments, he slowly picked himself up to sit on his knees, his gloved hands still firmly planted on the floor in front of him as his eyes were trained down at the spilled soup.
The whole dining room grew silent, except for judgemental whispers and hushed laughter.
The Cardinal felt tears welling heavy in his eyes at the humiliation, his heart aching as he heard the cruel comments and jokes from Rob and your friends. He always tried to remain positive and unfazed by the way he was treated, but in this moment he realized how much he was truly hated by everyone.
You were appalled; standing up so fast that your chair fell backwards as you knelt down next to Copia.
“Cardinal! Cardinal are you alright?” You asked, placing a hand on his shoulder, but he was unresponsive, still in shock.
You scowled at your friends with hellfire in your eyes. “He could be Papa one day, you know!” You shouted.
They looked surprised at your anger, but didn’t show one ounce of remorse.
“Yeah, I really don’t think so.” Emily replied, seemingly amused.
You shook Copia gently, trying to get him to snap out of it. He blinked a few times, swallowing hard as you brought him out of his daze. But instead of responding to you, he only rushed to his feet and began scurrying out of the dining hall as quickly as he could, shoulders hunched in shame, cheeks reddened from humiliation as tears glittered in his mismatched eyes.
“Cardinal!” You called after him, ready to chase him down before turning to your friends.
“How could you?” You spat, not waiting for a response as you ran after Copia.
You caught up with him just as he turned the corner, his steps growing faster and faster.
“Cardinal, wait!” You caught his sleeve, pulling him to slow down. He stopped just enough for you to push him up against the wall, caging him in so he couldn’t run away from you. It broke your heart, the way he refused to meet your gaze, the way slow tears began rolling down his flushed cheeks as his lower lip quivered.
“Cardinal..” You pressed yourself against him, getting soup all over yourself too but you could hardly care, not when you were pulling his trembling form into you, cradling the back of his head with your hand.
He sniffled into your shoulder, weakly trying to escape your grasp so you wouldn’t have to see him like this; a broken man.
“Please don’t cry, Cardinal. Just- Look at me. Please.” You cupped his face in your hands, caressing his tear-stained cheeks. He finally did, then, pulling away just enough to look you in the eyes.
“Everything’s alright, Cardinal. Are- are you hurt?” Your voice soothed him.
The poor man shook his head no, his gaze flicking down to where your bodies were touching one another.
“Oh no, I… M-mi dispiace, I… I got soup all over you too.” He sighed in deep disappointment, as if it was his own fault; the lines on his forehead deepening with guilt and worry.
You lifted his chin with a gentle finger, shaking your head. “It doesn’t matter, I don’t care.”
“Leave me, Sorella, go back to your amici.” Copia leaned his head back against the wall, staring up at the ceiling before closing his eyes as more tears threatened to spill.
“Not a chance.” You shook him softly, getting the man to look at you once more.
“But-”
“Listen to me, Cardinal.” You brought your hands up to his face once more, wiping his tears away with your thumbs before they could streak his eye paint too horribly. “We’re going to go upstairs, get cleaned up, and change. And then we’re going to come back down here in time for dessert, alright?”
Panic flashed on Copia’s face as he began shaking his head and stuttering. “N-no, I… I-I can’t face them, Sorella.”
“I’ll be with you. I won’t leave your side, Cardinal, and we’ll act like nothing happened. You’ll see, it’ll be okay, I promise.” You reassured him, pulling him into a comforting hug as you pressed your cheek against his.
“Sorella, they-” He sighed, worrying his lower lip between his teeth. “Maybe they are right about me…” He pulled away just enough to look into your eyes, shrugging hopelessly before averting his gaze.
“Well, my opinion of you is very favourable, Cardinal. So you shouldn’t believe a word they say.” Your hands smoothed up up up his chest, finding purchase on his shoulders and causing his breath to hitch at your touch and your words. He almost couldn’t believe his ears, that you of all people would think kindly of him. You were such a wonderfully nice girl, so he heavily suspected you were just trying to cheer him up, too sweet to admit out loud that he really was just a pathetic loser.
But that’s where Copia was wrong; you did acknowledge the fact that he was a pitiful, unloved, strange little rat man. But that’s exactly what got you going. That’s exactly the thing that kept you up at night, writhing around in your bed with your hand between your legs as you quietly mewled out his name.
“So, what do you say? Dessert?” You prompted him, softly rubbing the tension out of his shoulders.
The poor thing only nodded, eyes wide and lower lip flushed from biting it too much. Now that he had calmed down, Copia was suddenly shy and overwhelmed at the close proximity between the two of you.
“Good.” You nodded, satisfied with his decision, taking his hand in yours as you walked towards the stairs together.
You refused to let the other siblings win. You refused to let them drive Copia out with their cruelty. If he gave in, letting their bullying chase him off, he would let them have their victory.
But you, well, you had your own brand of cruelty that you enjoyed inflicting on the man. You loved watching him squirm, looking like a deer in the headlights as you subtly drove him deeper into insanity. Satan, the more everyone made fun of Copia, the more you wanted him; his woeful paltriness igniting such a strong desire deep in your core. It made you want to fuck him in front of everyone; right in front of everyone who had ever called him names and laughed at him. Maybe you would. Maybe you’d beg him to bend you over the dessert table and fuck you dumb, taking his cock until you forgot your own name.
Deep in thought, the two of you silently made your way up the stairs, stopping when you came to Copia’s quarters.
“I’m gonna go change and I’ll meet you back here, okay? My room isn’t far.” You told him, earning a nervous nod and a timid “Okie dokie…”
•𖤐•
You stripped down, tossing your habit in the hamper before looking through your closet for another one to wear. Humming to yourself, you selected one that you had been meaning to wear more often, pulling it out and slipping it on.
It was tight, fitting you like a glove. The skirt was floor-length, flaring out slightly, with a ridiculously high slit on both legs. The habit itself had long sleeves and was low cut, but it had a crimson nun’s bib collar which covered your shoulders and neck, almost making it look like you had a peekaboo hole to show off your cleavage. On the neckpiece sat a diamond-encrusted grucifix, dangling from the collar. Also, this habit had red trim everywhere: lining the two leg slits, the hem, the cuffs on your wrists. Also, the whole inside of the skirt was red, so whenever you walked, the flowing fabric showed off the shock of gorgeous rich crimson.
It even had its own matching habit with red trim, and a red grucifix embroidered on the back, so you swapped yours out for that. It looked absolutely exquisite, you were a vision in black and red. You smirked in the mirror, almost fearing that poor Copia would suffer a heart attack at the mere sight of you.
Once you were finished dressing, you hurried back to his room, hoping he hadn’t changed his mind.
As if on cue, the Cardinal stepped out of the room, wearing his red cassock and biretta. A quiet little gasp tumbled from your lips. You had only ever seen him in his black cassock, so this was a real treat.
“Cardinal…” You greeted him, a lilt of flirtatiousness in your tone as you sauntered up to him.
He looked at you, mismatched eyes widening as he did a double take.
“S-S-Sorella..!” Copia gasped, his gaze darting all around, desperately trying not to gawk at you. But Lucifer knows it was hard; you were sex on legs. Looking at you without thinking sinful thoughts was an impossible task.
“Is something wrong, Cardinal? Do I look bad?” You feigned worry, batting your thick eyelashes innocently as you approached him.
“N-no, not at all…! You, eh, y-you look… very, very nice, Sorella…” He stammered, wringing his hands in front of him, heart hammering in his chest as you placed a dainty little hand on his arm.
“Thank you, Cardinal.” You were so coy, twirling a lock of hair around your finger. “You look quite… ravishing in red.” You bit your lip, looking him up and down while toying with the hem of his pellegrina.
“T-thank you…” Copia swallowed nervously as he couldn’t help staring at you, his burning cheeks deeply flushed to match his cassock.
“Ready?” You asked, taking his arm.
The Cardinal nodded, and together you made your way back to the dining hall.
•𖤐•
Before turning the corner to enter the hall, you felt Copia slowing down beside you, his anxiousness growing at the thought of facing the siblings once more. He felt like a rat reentering the serpents’ den.
You gave his arm a comforting squeeze, turning to look at him. “I’m right here.” You assured him.
Those beautifully odd eyes were so big sorrowful as they stared back at you. He was biting his lip again, looking like he had something to say to you.
“Sorella… Ehm.. You said that… You said that I could be Papa one day? What did you mean by that?” Copia asked, confused.
“You never know, Cardinal. I believe in you.” You replied, eyes soft and dreamy as you gazed at him.
After a moment of soaking in your words, Copia nodded, still not quite understanding why you were being so nice to him. However, he trusted you fully as the both of you finally entered the dining room once more, just in time for dessert like you had planned.
Every head in that whole damn dining hall whipped towards you, mouths falling open and eyes widening as they took in the stunning sight of you and your Cardinal. You hadn’t even coordinated your habit to match his cassock, but Lucifer below, the two of you looked like you stepped out of a delicious cherry and black liquorice dream.
The hall was silent, the clicking of your heels echoing as you strolled over to your seat. You could tell Copia was extremely nervous with the way everyone was staring, but you allowed your confidence to encompass the both of you, giving his arm another little reassuring squeeze to remind him that you weren’t going to let him drown.
The Cardinal may have been painfully awkward, but he was still a gentleman, pulling your chair out for you before sitting next to you.
“Well, don’t stop on our accord.” You looked to your friends, who were still in awe of you in that habit, and also surprised to see Copia having returned.
“Where… Um, where did you get that habit? I don’t think those are issued out by the ministry.” Emily asked. It looked like she wanted to be angry about how spectacular it looked on you, but she was just too surprised.
“Oh this? It was a gift, from Papa. He had it made for me.” You shrugged nonchalantly, grabbing two coffee cups for you and Copia.
Emily’s mouth opened to speak but no words came out at first. “R-really? He… had it made especially for you?”
“Yeah, isn’t that so sweet of him? He came into my room and even took my measurements himself.” You casually wove the image into her mind, leaving out certain details that would no doubt drive her mad later. Did he order you to strip so he could wrap that tape measure around you? And you know what they say about measuring the bust; nipple to nipple. Exactly how high did his hand go when he was measuring your inseam?
You hid your smirk, knowing these questions would surely plague her every time she looked at Terzo.
“Cream?” You turned to Copia.
“S-si, please.” He nodded.
“Say when.” You told him, beginning to pour.
And pour.
And pour.
“Eh… When.”
Sweet Satan, this man didn’t like cream with his coffee, he liked coffee with his cream.
“Sugar?” You questioned, to which Copia asked for two.
You popped two sugar cubes into his cup, giving it a stir and pushing it to him.
“Grazie, Sorella.” He shyly thanked you, taking a small sip while you fixed your own cup.
You could feel Rob’s eyes on you as you looked over the numerous tiered dessert trays, placing some little pastries onto your plate.
Knowing that he was watching intently, you just couldn’t help your next move.
“Mm, Cardinal, you need to try this, it’s one of my favourites!” You chirped, holding a little cream-filled peach pastry up to his lips.
The poor man’s blush was creeping to the tips of his ears as he leaned in and cautiously took a bite, accidentally brushing his lips against your fingers. Once he pulled away, you popped the other half into your mouth, humming at the taste as you licked your fingers.
The Cardinal felt weak, so dizzyingly weak from you; a shock coursing through him as you placed a hand on his thigh, leaning forward towards the table and reaching for another pastry. It didn’t help that you kept carelessly kicking your leg back and forth under the table, your foot brushing up against Copia’s leg each time. Any sort of contact with you flustered him to the point that it was nearly painful.
Soon enough, your group of friends began talking normally once more, neither being mean to Copia nor acknowledging him at all.
Rob was right in the middle of trying to be ‘smooth’ and flirt with you when your eyes drifted to Copia, grinning endearingly as he shoved another pastry into his mouth. He looked a bit sad, his kissable lips pulled into a frown, eyes flicking to Rob and the way he was so obviously trying to pick you up. Satan, the Cardinal didn’t think you actually liked Rob back, did he?
“So, since we learned all about lust and rituals in class, I thought that maybe we could-” Rob just wouldn’t shut up, despite you looking uninterested in his loathsome advances.
You bit your lip, eyes locking on the thick smudge of frosting gracing the corner of Copia’s mouth. Scooting your chair closer until your leg was brushing against his, he looked towards you just as you reached up to wipe it away, bringing your hand to your lips and sucking the sweet, creamy frosting off your finger.
Poor sweet little Cardinal. His breath hitched in his throat, the hot blush on his cheeks nearly glowing by this point. You could practically feel the scorching heat radiating off him.
“Yum.” You licked your lips coquettishly; your hand trailing from his shoulder, down his arm, and mindlessly settling on his thigh once more.
“Sorry, you were saying?” You asked, turning back to Rob and noticing the other sisters’ wide eyes on you.
“Uh.. well- nevermind…” Rob sniffed, trying to play it cool as he leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms.
“Cardinal, are you feeling okay?” You cooed, returning your attention to the man and inching even closer. He was stunned, lips still parted in shock at your little stunt.
“Your face is the same colour as your cassock.” You giggled, brushing the back of your finger against his face. Your hands were always cold, so the sensation gave him some relief. However, the all-consuming fire of nervousness continued to torment him ruthlessly as you gently doted on him in front of everyone.
“O-oh..! Eh.. ehm- I-I’m okay, si…” Copia nodded, not quite convinced that he even was okay. How mortifying, that everyone could see the blush on his face.
“You’re so hot, Cardinal.” You remarked, biting your lip and pressing your cool hands against his cheeks, forehead, even lightly tugging at his collar for him. The poor timorous little mouse didn’t even realize that you meant it in both senses of the word.
“Enjoy this moment, Cardinal. Probably the only time you’ll ever hear those words being spoken to you.” Emily sneered, causing Rob to let out an amused snort, the other sisters covering their mouths to stifle a cacophony of laughter.
Copia flinched, looking meek as ever, her words cutting deeply into his gentle heart. But then you were looping your arms around his shoulders, giving him a squeeze as you looked toward Emily.
“Hm, I wouldn’t be so sure about that. He’s kinda cute.” You teased. The Cardinal’s eyes widened as he stiffened, looking so pitifully astounded that he almost seemed fearful.
“Well, if you think rats are cute then sure!” She retorted, words dripping in passive aggression.
“I actually think rats are very cute.” You responded simply, taking everyone- including Copia- by surprise. “With their big eyes,” your gaze flitted to the Cardinal’s eyes. “their pointy noses,” your eyes flicked to his nose, “their cute little whiskers.” you grinned dreamily, looking at his moustache.
Copia thought he was going to pass out. Were you trying to convey what he thought you were trying to convey, or was it just pure coincidence? No, no, it had to be a coincidence. No one as beautiful as you would ever be attracted to him, it would be impossible. Illogical. Nonsensical. Completely and utterly mad.
The Cardinal shuddered out a tense little exhale, his chest tight with anxiety as he inwardly scolded himself. He was going crazy, he just had to be. Satan below, he felt like such a dirty old man for even thinking of the mere possibility of you meaning anything by that. He was unlovable; he always had been and he always would be.
“Whatever you say, Sister. Perhaps you should schedule an appointment with the eye doctor.” Emily sighed, feigning concern for you.
“Yeah maybe you should, babe. How many fingers am I holding up?” Rob asked, holding up two fingers.
“My eyes are fine, thanks. How many fingers am I holding up?” You shot back with an amused smirk, flipping Rob off.
Your friends gasped at your actions before giggling, not taking it to heart as they found your quick wit and sassiness quite amusing, even when you were using it against them.
The Cardinal was absolutely shocked by your brazenness. You were this gorgeous goddess of a girl, so graceful and poised, yet borderline presumptuous in the way you kept people in line. And Copia greatly admired you for it; the way you were the exact opposite of him. Where he had no self esteem, you were bursting with confidence; where he was shy, you were bold. He always felt himself drowning in anxiety, being reduced to nothing more than a shy, stuttering idiot. It was a mystery how you always kept yourself so effortlessly cool.
“Anyway, I’ll have to remember how warm you are next time the heating gives out, maybe you can keep me from freezing all night.” You hummed thoughtfully, finally pulling away from Copia. You kept your voice casual and innocent as could be, as if you didn’t quite understand how inappropriate it would be to have him sleeping in your bed.
The Cardinal- who had relaxed considerably once you pulled away from him- stiffened sharply once more. It didn’t go unnoticed, the way his head shot up, mismatched eyes widening, mouth opening and closing as he tried and failed to speak.
“S-si, eh.. P-perhaps.” He bit his lip, staring down into his cup of coffee. It was ironic, usually the Cardinal was always a bit cold; it was just you who got him all hot and bothered.
You smirked at his torment, twirling a lock of hair around your little finger. But your hair wasn’t the only thing wrapped around your little finger. You had Copia all wound up too.

Let's Talk About Miraculous: Awakening
This isn't going to be a long or thorough analysis/review of the new movie, just some things I really enjoyed about the characters and some other things as opposed to the show. It's going to mostly focus on the positives of the movie so if you didn't like it, this might not be the post for you.
Note: I'm not hating on the show in any way. I like the show. Could things be better in it? Yeah, but I still enjoy watching it. No hate to the show, Thomas, or any of the crew. Light criticism if anything.
SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE
Marinette
The movie didn't change much about her, but as some have said it's nice that her being clumsy doesn't revolve around Adrien. Technically in Origins she was a little bit of a klutz before meeting him, but it was never on the scale it was around him throughout the show. It's nice that it's just something she's known for and it feels a lot more well-balanced with her character. She genuinely feels like a normal teenager who just happens to be clumsy around her crush, instead of being clumsy because of her crush.
Her having a literal reputation for being clumsy was also funny. I don't know, I just liked it.
I also like that her lack of confidence was more internalized. When she was walking through the halls and "hearing" what people thought of her, it felt like a genuine anxiety attack. It's not super complex, but it's enough that you know the intention behind it. And you really feel bad for the kid because you know how she feels without her having to outright say it and it's a feeling anyone can relate to.
It's also nice that we get to watch how being Ladybug builds her confidence. In the show, Ladybug is a literal mask that she wears because she feels like she has to be self-assured and strong and resilient. It's daunting and it takes a lot out of her mentally and emotionally. In the movie, being Ladybug actually helps her a lot, kind of similar to how being Cat Noir helps Adrien be all the things that his father would never let him be. Instead of being required to be those things, it just comes to her naturally the more she grows into being a hero.
(This isn't necessarily better than the show, I just liked how it was done)
Adrien
There's been some controversy around how Adrien was written in the show. But for me, he felt a lot more real.
I know that Adrien in the show is touch-starved, mentally abused, and isolated. I know that that's why he can be oblivious and somewhat of a pushover and struggles with emotional maturity. I understand all of that and I'm sympathetic to how they're conveying that (or trying to depending on how you look at it) in the show.
But I'm not going to lie and say that I didn't fucking cheer when he called Gabriel out in the movie.
Adrien in the movie almost feels like a mixture of show Adrien and original Felix. Closed off and averse to forming emotional bonds but genuinely kind and still wanting to form those bonds even if he is hesitant. And honestly? I dig it. I like that he's capable of uglier emotions like anger outside of being Cat Noir. It's great that Cat Noir is an outlet for those feelings in the show, but it feels realistic that it bleeds into his life as Adrien.
(Similarly to what I mentioned above with Ladybug and Marinette, it feels like being Cat Noir helps Adrien do this. It's really nice to see and I'll talk about it more later)
A lot of people complained that these qualities are OOC for Adrien. And I won't say they're wrong, but remember that in the show it's only been a year since Emilie disappeared. In the movie, Adrien lost her when he was a lot younger. So it makes sense that over time and with his father pulling away, he closes himself off. I think that this difference is more important than people realize.
Gabriel
Probably the most improved character in the movie.
As time progressed in the show, Gabriel became less and less sympathetic. And this probably happened around the time he began to place Adrien's wellbeing under his goals. He shifted from being overprotective, controlling, and distant to completely and unequivocally abusive. At some points he doesn't feel like a real person anymore, just purely power-hungry, obsessive, and cruel.
Movie Gabriel completely rectified that. Don't get me wrong, he still shares some of those qualities with his counterpart. But we see the toll being Hawkmoth has on his wellbeing. We see the regret he has when he pushes Adrien away or upsets him. We see how his grief over losing Emilie really affected him to the point where he can't even function. Everything here makes him feel so much more sympathetic, but it doesn't act as an excuse. He's still the villain and he still has to face consequences to his actions.
It's also really nice that the minute he saw that Cat Noir was Adrien, he stopped immediately. There was no manipulating him or taking advantage of him. He never even mentioned Emilie in a bid to get Adrien on his side like in Cat Blanc. He was just torn with regret over hurting his son in any way. Because bringing Emilie back was supposed to be just as much for Adrien as it was for himself, but that means nothing if he hurts Adrien to do it. It's a line he refused to cross.
Chloe
I enjoyed movie Chloe a lot. Instead of being whiny and bratty and always running to Daddy like in the show, she's a lot more mature and angrier, but doesn't want to be seen being terrible (possibly protecting her father's status as mayor instead of abusing it). She also doesn't specifically target Marinette until she does something to offend her (which is still a massive overreaction, but it makes more sense than her targeting Marinette for an "unsavory" reason which I won't say here because I don't want to get attacked by her stans). This sets up a Chloe redemption way better than the show ever did in my honest opinion (again, this is no hate to the show because I'm pretty sure the intention was never to redeem Chloe).
Like with Gabriel, she feels like a real person instead of just taking one of her attributes and then making it her entire personality.
Tikki
Hilarious. I don't have much else to say except that it was entertaining as hell to see her so chaotic, while still keeping her supportive and uplifting. That little scene with Marinette throwing the box only to get it tossed right back into her head was so freaking funny.
(The only downside to Tikki is that they didn't do the same with Plagg. The fart jokes were pretty juvenile. Nooroo, on the other hand, has seen some shit)
Master Fu
I'm loving that he comes across as a crazy old man, it's realistic and makes for some entertaining moments. I also liked his role as the narrator. He isn't as involved in the story, but he's still important.
LadyNoir Relationship
Perfect. The play fighting was so cute and the moment Cat Noir fell for Ladybug seemed so genuine and sweet.
Like I said above, being Ladybug and Cat Noir seems to help Marinette and Adrien cope in their normal lives. But it's also their relationship with each other that helps them do this. Being around Cat Noir helps Marinette let loose and build her confidence around others. Being around Ladybug helps Adrien express his feelings and drop his walls.
The movie stresses that their powers are stronger when they used them together (which was a great addition), but I think that also extends to every other aspect of their lives. They build off of one another and improve. It really drives home that they're partners who need one another.
Also, it's so reminiscent of early LadyNoir that I actually started to feel nostalgic. They've always been my favorite part of the Love Square because they always had the most chemistry. I'm so glad that the movie focused on developing them the most.
The Magic
The powers seem so... raw? I don't know how to explain it. But I like that the Cataclysm was so inky and gross. And the Lucky Charm was so restorative and healing in comparison. It really drives home how opposite they are and why they balance one another out.
I think the limits of the Miraculous' magic are really tested in the movie. They're a lot less structured and seem more versatile. They're definitely stronger which makes sense because the Kwamis are essentially gods. Even if the Miraculous holders' abilities are toned down, they should still be extremely powerful.
Overall
I loved the movie. Some things were better than the show, others not so much but it was a lovely homage to fans who have been around since the beginning. I would love to see a fanfiction series based off of what the movie set up, that would be really fun to read.
I'm going to watch the movie again so I might add some things to this post, but all-in-all, I think that everything I've mentioned above conveyed my feelings about the movie.

I'm going to make some predictions for Criminal Minds: Evolution. It is officially two months til the premiere and here's what I think we're going to get (lots of this will be based on that sneak peek interview):
UPDATED: 26/11 (Ep 1-2) GREEN is correct prediction. RED incorrect. (Subscript is comments)
Emily: She's section chief now. She has grey hair now and there is a 50/50 chance they will write a line that's like 'LOL Wow Prentiss, the job is so hard you went grey!' but also equal odds no one says ANYTHING about it. Emily gets the band back together and she's just a v good badass. I DO NOT for a second believe they're going to make Emily canonically queer. They're probably going to double down and give her a sex scene with some generic dude. But she'll be able to say 'FUCK' and that's great. I love that for her.
JJ: I STG if they give us some wild Willifer sex scene (I had to witness that innuendo and Emily saying people were getting laid so it counts!) ....dksjlahdlksahl. *CRINGE* Henry is *14* now, that's bananas y'all. He's in HIGH SCHOOL. Michael is also in school now?!?!?! HOW???? She'll talk about it but we may not even see her fam bc it's ten episodes and they only ever get brought out of the prop closest like once every three years. She and Will went to NOLA for a while then moved back to DC. She'll talk about how nice it was to be away for a bit but ultimately 'I missed the BAU because this is my family' bc we have seen time and time again how she makes excuses to be at work vs being with Will lmao
Tara: They're going to give Tara a love interest and I honestly doubt it's not gonna be a dude. She and JJ have teamed up to go over every single case request for however long and so there will be JARA, which is delicious. But again, I won't for a single second hold my breath thinking they're going to suddenly make an MC queer just because it's streaming or whatever. Being on network TV was never the issue, so I don't feel like streaming isn't going to flip a magical gay switch in the show runners.(SO FUCKING HAPPY I WAS WRONNNNGGGGG!!!!!) I think we'll get some good Tara storylines though which will be SO SO good because she is the perfect character!
Rossi: I think it's SO obvious they're going to kill his wife. Probably via the pandemic. Because this show is so obsessed with trauma porn. He's unit chief now which is funny considering how much he hated it when he was interim UC before Emily came back. But it's pretty on brand because none of the show runners have ever understood continuity, why start now? I think they're going to use his wife's death to fuel him being like “I know I'm old but I just need something to do and something to make me feel useful and this is all I know. So I'm back!"
Luke: Obviously Luke and Garcia went on a date, that's been confirmed. Again, I dunno if we'll get to see Garvez on screen. At least, not how we want! I think maybe they dated a bit and now that they're back, there will be a moment of adjustment to seeing each other and things being slightly awkward but then they'll go back to their banter and shit. I just don't think this show is going to actually give us an inter-team romance on screen. I will be SO happy if they do, but I'm not holding my breath
Garcia: Obvs what I said about Luke. I think Garcia will be the one that's hardest to convince to come back. She left because those last few seasons were SO hard on her. Like this ray of sunshine had SO much shit happen to her and I think she would very much be hesitant to come back. Someone, (Rossi) (should be Luke but probably will be like JJ) will convince her to come back because the team really needs her. There will be an emotional scene where she talks about her PTSD from the BAU but then she'll just be like 'yeah, okay I'm back'. Because this show never actually addresses trauma (CANNOT BELIEVE THEY TALKED ABOUT GOING TO THERAPY!?!? WHAT A CONCEPT!)
Place your bets guys, gals, nonbinary pals. WHATEVER we get in two months, will be a TRASH FIRE. I don't have any doubts about that part. I do not expect the reboot to be any better than the show, which is an absolute dumpster fire....but it's our dumpster fire. So here we are!
Also, you are allowed to have other opinions. This is mostly a post for me to write my thoughts so I can check back when the show airs to see if I was right or not. This is not an invitation for discourse, my nerds.

gimme your favorite cm headcanons
i will celebrate you posting again like a kpop comeback
omg hiiii hehe ok honestly it's been a hot minute since i've thought about cm hcs but:
spencer is a cat dad to the most evil little asshole in the world <3 he's got this white and orange cat that he adopted when he was working on his first PhD cause he thought the company would be nice, and he named it something that's frankly stupid and annoying like Proton or Sagan or something, and this cat is like, objectively a little shit. like, he claws up the furniture, hides under the sofa to swat at spencer's feet when he walks by, pushes his glasses of the counter, eats pages out of any books spencer leaves around, etc etc. and spencer loves him dearly but he is just beefing with this little cat CONSTANTLY. like he's always showing up to work with scratches on his hands and arms, dramatically monologuing and whining about how this little shit has it out for him specifically and how he's quite literally the devil himself in cat form. but then the second someone else chimes in and is like "yeah your cat is kind of an asshole man" spencer's just like i'm sorry what did you say to me. watch your mouth dude that's my fucking cat and i love him more than anything. fuck you.
speaking of cats, hotch is like, a cat magnet for a reason none of them can quite grasp. like he's really more of a dog person, never been that much of a cat lover if he's being honest, but any time he's over at spencer's or emily's their cats just will not leave him alone. and because the universe has a sense of humour, hotch is pretty much the only person who spencer's cat will cuddle with. like the first time spencer has the team over to his place, he's barely gotten the words out to warn them to be careful around his little demon spawn before he turns around to see his cat up in hotch's lap, purring obnoxiously looking for pets. traitor.
derek teases spencer mercilessly for his nerdy glasses, but he literally has reading glasses himself, he's just so far into it at this point that he'd rather die than admit it. he gives himself headaches constantly because he refuses to wear them and give spencer the satisfaction.
emily and derek get like, really extremely competitive over video games. you'd think it would be penny cause she's really the gamer among them, but when mario kart or just dance comes out derek and emily become people that they're honestly not proud of. and like the trash talk that comes out is quite frankly bizarre, so penelope prefers to just sit back with her wine and watch them bicker and sabotage one another like bratty siblings.
derek is always making mixtapes for spencer <3 i know i have a post about this somewhere, but like at least once a week derek is carefully curating a new collection of songs to burn onto a cd that he says spencer just has to listen to - because you're so uncultured about music it's honestly unacceptable spence - it's not at all because he has a stupid little crush that he can't quite seem to kick and he has no idea how the hell he's supposed to approach that when it's his stupid, awkward, gangly, endlessly endearing close friend doctor reid, and music is like the one thing he can fall back on as a way to get his feelings out so he doesn't, like, explode.
can i say homophobic jj. LOL like will people get mad at me if i say that. anyway jj is the girl who brags about having gay friends and tags along to the gay bar with penny emily spencer and derek cause she doesn't want to be left out and then gets grossed out when a woman tries to flirt with her SORRY ok i'm sorry. god.
whenever things are especially busy at the unit (or worse than usual at home) hotch tends to stays really late. penelope knows this, and she also knows that when hotch holes away in his office pouring over paperwork for hours and hours after everyone else has long since gone home, he very rarely takes the time to remember to get something to eat. so penelope has taken to bringing in an extra serving of whatever she takes for lunch, whether it's an extra sandwich or a second tupperware container of leftover pasta, and before she heads home she always comes up with some excuse to give it to hotch. she tells him she went out to lunch with derek so she didn't end up needing it, or she was half asleep this morning when she'd packed it and she'd made a second sandwich without thinking, and honestly hotch you might as well take it cause if you don't it's just gonna go in the garbage anyway and it's not good to waste food, hotch, there are people who are starving. and he always concedes, eventually, and accepts her food. she always looks so pleased with herself, like she's pulled the wool over his eyes, and hotch's throat kinda feels tight with the knowledge that someone cares enough to make sure he eats when he stays late, and also penelope is like a really good cook, so there's that, too.
when spencer has his hair grown out longer he lets penelope use him as a model to teach derek how to braid. derek has tried to braid penelope's hair before, with little success, and it's so much easier to show him on somebody else, but no matter how much she'd begged emily had refused to give in, so spencer it was. and honestly spencer thinks it's kinda nice, the feeling of somebody's fingers playing with his hair. especially when they're penelopes fingers, which move gently and lightly and don't pull too hard, and he comes out of it with a pretty french braid that has pieces falling out in the front because if they're being totally honestly his hair isn't quite long enough for this yet. derek is sort of less gentle when it's his turn to try, more prone to accidentally pulling so hard it makes spencer's whole fucking scalp tingle, but it's still nice to be sitting cross legged on the floor between derek's knees with derek's hands in his hair, so spencer only complains a little bit.
penelope keeps one of those "word of the day" tearaway calendars on her desk, and every so often she throws some word like "mellifluous" into conversation out of nowhere and everybody is just like 😐

7x15. Every time I have a big break between episodes, it hits twice as hard.
Tumblr media
I don't think Spencer ever reacted like this to anything before? Lmao.
Tumblr media
A pretty boy, indeed. Drawing him must be so fun.
Tumblr media
There's something about this shot with the little girl's voice-over that's been murdered.
Tumblr media
I don't think Dave ever sits on the table, but Aaron sure does (and often). I wonder what kind of conclusion I can make from this and make it into my writing. :) God, I missed those two. After having a dream about Aaron last night it's so nice to actually watch him and Dave moving and talking and just existing. I love them so much, my heart is always full for them.
@hogwartstoalexandria i think i get it now why you wrote that smut of yours. :) Immediately thought of it. Niiice.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
<3. His hair keeps getting greyer and greyer, and I think he lot some weight (not that it's right or wrong, just an observation), and I just have so many feelings.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I often wonder why, with all of his neatness and the need to wear suits most of the time, Aaron never wears a tie pin. Would fit his imagine. Maybe it's a statement, though, Maybe he's not into those kind of details. Maybe David gifts Aaron a tie pin and cufflinks & it suddenly clicks. Maybe Aaron wears them on special occasions and for Dave only. Who knows. Not to mention there are also collar pins... The entire set for this man that is drowning in guilt sometimes and wears his tie like a noose every day. Don't mind me, I'm still in my feelings for those two.
Tumblr media
Ahhh.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Slowly re-reading Mindhunter by John Douglas & watching an interaction like this is like it was takes straight from the book. Once again, the writers nailed that part of the show. And Aaron's reaction... that polite, sometimes even amused "fuck you". God, I love him. And I'm glad we've got Thomas portraying this character.
Here's a quote from the book BTW, from chapter 9:
"​It was clear from early on that a lot of folks, both inside the Bureau and out, ​really didn't understand what we were all about."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Husbands at work. Honestly, they take such big breaks between episodes, I need some time to get used to how light David's hair becomes. So fast. Still, I like them being represented. Older men in love. <3 And, on the last one, Spencer is in the back, riding in a car with his dads. <3 While Morgan, Emily, and JJ are in another car.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Husbands arresting the abuser/killer together & telling him his rights while everyone else is watching is HOT. Dave making in character remarks is also very hot. Yeah, no wonder Aaron loves him. Me too, Aaron. Me too. And honestly, these two being best friends for years makes all the sense in the world. They fit like a jigsaw puzzle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
FAMILY. They got me at Aaron and Dave sitting together and out of everyone continuing working on a case. But then they showed Spencer sleeping there, in that quiet corner in the dim light, next to Aaron—next to his dads—and I completely lost it (first in the car, then this). Everything is perfect about this scene. Everything. My love for them being a family in every way and for the Dads caring for them just got fed (and since it's been a while, i feel so happy I wanna cry). This is what they call a comfort show and character. This.
I think it's an average episode plot-wise, but damn it, if it didn't make me feel good things because of all the moments with Dave, Aaron, and Spencer.
P.S.: Penelope's "I live to serve you, sir" when Aaron hears something that he wants a clarification on and calls her. Yeah, the big scary Boss (that is actually still her friend. I like their dynamic.)

Some more songs!
New invention by IDKHOW for Lily
MK ULTRA by Muse for the auction house
Broken doll by V is for Villains for Emily probably (honestly V is for Villains is an amazing obscure band in general)
Hypnotic by Zella Day in general for Lex and Fitz
Hypnotized by Simon Curtis reminded me of the tension of the auction
World in my Eyes by Depeche mode for Fitz, or maybe even vamp!Oliver, imagining him reading hypnotically to his new thrall
Take me to Church by Hozier feels right
The Flood by Katie Melua for the auction house
Pet by a perfect circle feels perfect for your hypnosis scenes
Now I can't say no, I'm losing control I'm having bad dreams And nothing you can do will keep the bad things Away from me until I fall asleep, bad dreams Despite your good intentions That girl is like an architect And I am just the new invention
Yes, I can see how Lily would fit that.
How much deception can you take? How many lies will you create? How much longer till you break? Your mind's about to fall
And they are breaking through They are breaking through They are breaking through (We are losing control)
I'm not sure how similar the auction house is to the real life MKUltra program that this song is presumably based on, but certainly the vampires have an expertise in mind control that the CIA would love to have.
I know just how to pull her strings now When I pull them she will dance I really think she is so beautiful And broken, distraught So lost And just so damn easy to control
Ooh, that's dark. Poor Emily.
You do it to me so well Hypnotic taking over me Make me feel like someone else You got me talking in my sleep I don't wanna come back down I don't wanna touch the ground Pacific Ocean, dug so deep Hypnotic taking over me
Nice, I love this. Makes me want to write Lex hypnotizing Fitz...
Arriving just in time. Who's dying to be mine? Let me survey the scene Good fight, now keep it clean!
It feels more like a meat market kinda dance club but that's not terribly dissimilar to the auction house.
I'll take you to the highest mountain To the depths of the deepest sea And we won't need a map, believe me Now let my body do the moving And let my hands do the soothing Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there is Nothing more than you can feel now That's all there is
Oh thank god a band that I actually know and love. Depeche Mode is amazing and I love these lyrics for Lex and Oliver actually.
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
Interesting vibe yeah
Don't trust your eyes (wash) It's easy to believe them (away) Know in your heart (the weight) That you can leave your prison (pulls you down)
Don't trust your mind (ride) It's not always listening (the waves) Turn on the lights (that free) And feel the ancient rhythm (from your doubts)
Ooh, now this I really love for the feeling of Lily hypnotizing the thralls.
Pay no mind what other voices say They don't care about you Like I do Like I do Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils See they don't give a fuck about you Like I do
Yes, safe from choices, deep in a vampire's thrall...

Fnaf movie spoilers under cut
Criminal under use of afton but I loved him kicking ass in the suit.
Completely evil man cut and dry and the spring lock scene was good. Obviously not a lot of blood but the crunches still were gruesome. The final act was pretty much like the book when they dragged him away and locked him in the room still alive. We def getting springtrap in the next movie. He said the line. I always come back. Love his shit I hope they make MERCH for movie spring bonnie
The rest of the movie was different. Vanessa is Williams daughter and mike isn’t related to him. So different universe than main canon but I still love it
Also William why the fuck did you show up, there was no reason to come there no one would believe that ghosts are real but go off. I mean he knows they are real so I guess he just wanted no survivors.
I am excited for the next one bc you know it’s gonna be fnaf 3 based
also him sitting there bleeding out and reaching to the ghost only to have the door shut on him while he is still alive was perfect. rot for 30 years man
was it all i ever wanted for my birthday? yeah it went a lot how i predicted i mean any fan would kinda know. the springlock is what we all came for and it delivered pretty good. more gutteral screaming and blood would have been nice but yeah. more afton in general being evil and manipulative would have been nice. honestly the pixel story in the beginning was perfect. i give it an 8/10 we love it we stan. it exists and is good.
here is the thing: why would william go out of his way to kidnap and kill garret? they were camping in the woods far away.
because i believe mike is adopted and is actually the son of william. and to get back at losing custody of mike, he went and took away their son garret. that's my running theory. william paused when reading mikes last name in the file.
tho to be fair willy was ready to kill mike at the end of the movie, but ya know. we know he never liked mike /that/ much.
i think garret is also going to be the puppet. or maybe golden freddy idk. we didnt get any henry or charlie emily mention in the movie so idk if they even exist. the old vhs said "the owner" as in singular. and they didnt mention any other locations or fredbears or anything. so we just dont know yet, but the sequel is in pre production right now, the fnaf movie EXPLODED the box offices in sales yippee!!
anyways i fucking love springbonnie's tubby body, gonna fuck sloppy style kasjdkadjdjkkjdjkd peak design perfect vision. gimme gimme gimme

PART TWO OF THAT THING OH LORD
What am I doing with my life. Honestly I'm getting a bit confused on what I was saying earlier, so if any of you understood it I'd be amazed. As you can see this was more of a loose connection and me throwing things out there, so don't go thinking I believe this is 100% canon (or canon at all) because I'm just a little guy and I have little guy thoughts. (ALSO PLEASE READ THE REPLIES ON THE LAST POST). There is a theme of Toy Chica taking away the things the...crushes like, or value the most for attention. To the point of well, pretty sure burning their goddamn house down? Hello there ma'am? That's not very nice. Almost everything she does paints her as a savior, someone to trust and go to. Huh, I wonder who else does this to someone they may be obsessed with (possibly even in love with HEY HEY HI WILLRY SHIPPERS HEY HI) with the need for their undivided attention. Now, a lot of people have also interpreted part of this cutscene as representing the way William killed the missing kids, which, I agree, that makes sense I suppose? Could it be a double meaning? Could these two things go hand in hand and side by side possibly? Where it references different things in different ways, we all know Scott is a bit- messy with things. FNAF 6 was especially messy with some parts of it's lore (Hey did I tell anybody I think I solved part of candy cadet?? yeah I think I did, fuck yeah!! Hopefully when I post THAT tidbit it's less mind bending and senseless, because it actually make sense, LIKE MAKES SENSE and isn't plain terrifying to think about) bbbbut seriously, what if it DOES reference both? The part referencing...lovers (help/nsrs) WOULD be a bit awkward if William is only referencing the missing children, it's giving lady fiszi and pinky pills /ref (/neg) . If there's also stuff referencing Henry it would be more- fathomable. Now, I admit I have not deciphered FNAF 6 and post-FNAF 6's obsession with collecting parts of things (or people) to put them together, but I am working on it. That is where I face how I do not know how to make sense of the way Chica collects pieces of her crushes. Now, talking about candy cadet and how those stories also reference Henry in a somewhat similar context, these stories also contain the theme of collecting parts of something broken and bringing them all together, my initial idea was that this is in reference to all of the people brought together in FNAF 6, especially the Founding family* and how they were rejoined as "one" though I am unsure (please tell me your thoughts?). This becomes somewhat more confusing when we see how in UCN toy Chica (the character representing William) is the one collecting, and not someone representing Henry like in FNAF 6. Though, this could be more split meanings, and could be an input of Henry's mind. It's all rather complicated. *I call the Afton + Emily family combined this. SO LOVELIES, that's honestly I can get together for this part right now, I'll be going on some more but I'll be talking about the actual willry part of this on a separate post for reasons. All of this multipart theory/ramble is going to be under the "mond explains weird toy chica thing." tag and is very much so available so you can read all of it together. Hope I don't sound too deranged from this haha.

Okay on tonight's episode of who in the GoT/HoTD Fandom need to be slapped, I'm gonna address two issues cause I'm pissed and honestly it deserves mentioning.
Gonna start with the most recent thing I heard. Wtf is with Fandoms driving people off of social media with their nonsensical bullshit?! Not to drag another Fandom into this but Star Wars is notorious for this bullshit, and I seriously thought we moved past this! Clearly not!
Can Fandoms just stop doing this? The most recent victim of this nonsense is apparently the actor playing Young Alicent Hightower, Emily Carey.
*WHACK*
STOP. BULLYING. PEOPLE!
Be. A. Nice. Human!
Holy tap dancing Horus! She's an actress literally just doing her job and giving her perspective on her character! This ties in to these actors being people at the end of the day! You don't bully someone for simply stating an opinion, an opinion which doesn't harm anyone. First off that's just rude as fuck, you can disagree with someone and still believe they have a right to their opinion! Miss Carey has literally done nothing wrong except...apparently saying her character isn't a villain? Um...when did this become a crime? When did this become one of the worst things apparently you can do?
Holy shit there should be a support group for all these actor chased off social media but Fandom entitled fuckwits who can't see in front of their faces or think with their brains!
Now this is not being a support of the character Alicent Hightower. I've read Fire and Blood, I know what happens. But this isn't even about the character, this is about the actress. Like the rest of us she's allowed to have her opinion and state it. All YOU have to do, if you disagree, is ignore the tweet, walk the other way, and leave it the fuck alone. Anyone who bullies people, not just famous people, off the internet for a harmless (notice I said harmless, meaning they aren't saying something deeply troubling about real life issues) opinion deserves a swift kick in the ass and a sharp slap to the face!
Fuck. You. All!
Now, the second thing I'm going to address has actually been a problem since casting for the show was announced. People, what kind of piece of shit sits there and talks shit about another person's appearance?!
Yeah, I'm mad yall mother fuckers got me defending Matt Smith up in this bitch.
Again.
*WHACK!*
Quit. With the high school. Bullying. TACTICS!!!!!
Like I said how fucking hard is it just to be a decent human being?! Like what has to go so wrong in your life that you decided to just take your bullshit out on someone you don't even know? And going for their appearance? That's just fucking low.
I'm gonna just get this out of the way: I'm not a fan of the guy. I never really have been. I don't think he's ugly, like everyone seems to be saying, but he just doesn't do it for me personally, and it's absolutely nothing against him. I'm sure Matt Smith is an awesome dude IRL, and he seems pretty chill as far as I know. I respect the guy for his acting ability and his passion but that's about it. I see why a lot of people find him appealing but he doesn't do it for me.
That being said, I am so sick of seeing comments like "Oh, well he looks like he's the product of incest anyway!". Like dude...that is not cool and no one should be saying that about anyone. I may not find him attractive personally but I'm not sitting here behind a phone screen bashing the appearance of a dude I don't know. Nothing, not a thing, gives anyone the right to say things like that and bully someone for something they literally have no control over.
It's seriously some petty ass bullshit and it needs to stop. Maybe he doesn't need me to defend him but goddamn yall are just doing too damn much and being a POS about it. Your insults, name calling, and bullying are completely uncalled for!
Stop. Your. Bullshit!
Be. A nice. Human!!!!
It literally costs nothing!
Fucking assholes...

episode eight
Tumblr media
Listen I have a lot of ideas, they’re not always good
I’m just going to say one more time I don’t love this whole putting dolls from Trixie’s personal collection in the motel lobby thing
I do love that they included these absolutely unnecessary bits like Iggy teaching Trixie how to clean a room & Emily teaching Trixie how to check in a guest — I’m here for the campy scenes that are clearly that
I’m so glad this is the last time I have to sit through these sit down bits
You look like an old man in Palm Springs right now with your outfit — lmao
Them having Juno in another episode when the Trixie x Juno collab drops today
I was here for the poolside decorating until …
In a dramatic turn of events, David had something to say about what we did
The check in, the exterior, & the pool deck are so gorge
The lobby/bar is such a nice combo of more minimal with pops of kitsch. It’s very cute
Honestly $65,000 over budget for an entire motel is not bad
This whole experience would not be complete without Katya coming — no but you know it really wouldn’t be
I’m sorry your business partner? That’s what we’re going with for this intro? Okay
Hi, I’m Katya. Trixie’s much older sister — choices
Katya & I have been through everything together — I’m getting whiplash from this segment honestly
Sorry I’m late I didn’t want to come
The doors I’ve opened in this industry 💀💀💀
The begrudging half hug … are we surprised? You would have to candidly film them for a shot at a genuine hug
Katya’s little spin in the robe 🥺
For those long lonely nights, baby
No but Katya looking back at Trixie after opening the door to one of the rooms 🥺
Trixie Motel scavenger hunt but it’s all the things Katya licked on the property
Please Trixie looking up at the mounted mirror while Katya’s in the Queen of Hearts bed
The two of them sitting outside at night is very cute I would like to see more of it
And I don’t think I’ve been impressed by anything you’ve done 🤣
You ever think about that? Trixie sitting there thinking, this is my constant internal monologue
The way there’s just a throw pillow chilling on the floor in shot while Trixie & Katya are in bed
But literally the two of them in bed & Katya going we should watch something, do you want to watch a movie is … yeah
The fucking funniest part of this is So we have to talk to each other? Yeah, let’s just like, we can have a conversation — that is exactly what everyone wants from them
If I had a nickle for every time Trixie & Katya pretended to sleep in bed together
Brooke Lynnnnn
Aww Fena 💕
Okay but actually what is this continued bit with Brandon & David Rios
I would have liked to see Amy & Andrew have their own moments instead of just being in the crowd but
Aaaaand now I can cancel my Discovery+ subscription

I have such complicated feelings about Derek this whole episode ughhhh
For one, he went through something ridiculously traumatic and most of the team cared more about how he treated them than how he felt. He obviously went through something horrifically traumatic, on the verge of being killed and watching two people die in front of him while he was powerless, that's fucking awful even with no context of the trauma he had connected to it. I feel like that would be obvious to most people, especially profilers and just grown ass adults who have trauma from viewing deaths themselves
Especially buck wild that Penelope wouldn't be more empathetic towards him, not just because of their relationship but because he LITERALLY SPENT ALL OF THE TIME TWO EPISODES AGO COMFORTING HER BECAUSE SHE WAS BREAKING DOWN AFTER SEEING SOMEONE BE MURDERED and it wasn't even someone she knew. Yes, he's a profiler and views these things more and would naturally react less extremely than her, and yes I guess he shouldn't have yelled at her, but like come on its weird to me she responds the way she does in light of how he treats her in the same situation during exit wounds
On the other hand, some of the team empathizes with him. Emily definitely does the best, and Rossi doesn't hurt as much, but hotch definitely tried to help in his own stand-offish way because he knew Morgan wouldn't respond well to confrontation. And he has to take his frustrations out on him even when he's just trying to help
Yeah Morgan did his paper work but I don't see how outside of that the team was expressly "there for him" when Hailey died. I get he's passionate but it seems so fucked up that he would throw that experience back in hotchs face to get what he wants, especially putting the teams behavior towards him after foyet on a pedestal when in reality while they tried to not hurt him, i wouldn't say any of them really had his back, especially when Derek was the one openly criticizing him the whole time and arguing with him
It's also not fair to compare hotch killing foyet to Derek killing Flynn in my opinion. I think Derek compares it like it's the same situation, but I honestly think it was kind of fucked up for Derek to kill him? Hotch was angry when he killed foyet, but i truly believe he did it because he knew if foyet got back up he wouldn't stop until he killed Jack. I don't think Flynn threatened dereks life at all. He was just pissed and wanted revenge on him, which is not the same. Also the fact foyett killed hotchs first love and long-term wife while Flynn killed a detective and his sister that Derek had met like a week ago lol
there's just something a little gross to me about the show trying to make it seem like morgan has to much to apologize for when he hasn't dont anything wrong, or at least not anything that isnt understandable. bc yeah kajsdhg jhe just went through a fucking trauma... he watched a dad get murdered in front of his daughter (the same shit that happened to him when he was a kid) and now the killer's taken the kid and who knows how long she has before she's killed. akjsdhlg seems a little stressful lmao makes sense that he'd be a little snippy.
but nooo instead lets make light of the situation and laugh about how he's upset. or in the company episode lets yell at him for being selfish and remind him that he's entirely responsible for finding his cousin. or in exit wounds when he's just trying to find out if garcia saw anything important, he's actually completely out of line and being totally inappropriate by... asking her question s
penelope reid and jj all act like he's being completely ridiculous and ignroing the shit he went through like a couple hours ago. hotch and emily at least seem a little more empathetic, which is nice, but considering that morgan's closer w penelope reid and jj it seems particularly fucked up that they're the ones who don't seem to give a shit about him or his feelings. especially since he's so attentive to their mental wellbeing.
i agree that morgan crossed a line when he threw the foyet thing in hotch's face, but truthfully i'm not that surprised. considering how morgan acted during that whole thing, it makes sense to me that he'd be insensitive about it. morgan was the one who was openly antagonistic towards hotch during foyet: questioning every decision, doubting every action, etc. and i think its suuuuuper interesting that morgan sees nothing wrong w the way he handled that. especially bc we know he's capable of being supportive (even in cases where the person is being an idiot about it, like reid in memoriam), its fascinating that morgan can look back on how he treated hotch and say that he had his back. like... if that was morgan being supportive, it makes me wonder what morgan actually wanted to do in that situation
morgan killing flynn and hotch killing foyet aren't the same at all.... but there's so much different about both situations that idek if you could even really compare them. foyet was an unsub whose personal mission was to make hotch as miserable as possible; flynn wasn't after morgan at all, even in the end. foyet said "i surrender" and hotch continued to beat him to death w his bare hands; morgan said "if you point your gun at them (the hostages) i'll kill you" and flynn raised his gun and morgan shot. hotch knew that there was no convincing foyet to stop; morgan didnt even try, even when flynn was having a change of heart. foyet wanted to see what hotch would do, how far hotch would go, what hotch was capable of; flynn wanted to die and knew morgan would kill him. i dont think morgan killing flynn was as emotional or dramatic as hotch killing foyet, but i dont think it was as justified either
overall, i just dont think this episode was written well. it was suppposed to be a morgan ep, but it was more about some random white guy. nearly everyone belittled morgan the whole time and the most compelling part of the ep was this little girl taking on this guy by herself (which then they completely ignored so jj could have her stupid little speech). jakshflkad i dont usually like criminal minds two parters/finales anyway, so idk if i like this more or less than the others, but theyre definitely episodes i typically skip on a rewatch

I don't remember if you've been watching, but CME isn't what I expected. And not in good way? I guess I feel a little let down because after they found Tyler, they kinda forgot the whole Serial Killer Network thing. The focus became Elias, but I thought they'd be confused a while longer or have to juggle, you know? "This is the guy behind it, but that guy is vicious and has three people right now…" That kinda thing
The team being spread out thinner than expected. THEN I could see bringing in Will. And maybe a fuck up happens because he's Metro PD, not a profiler and that causing some tension. For some reason in the last episode, Will was on the jet with them when what he contributed was like a handful of words.... that could have been a text. It was too brief for an email!
And like most procedural shows, the glimpses of their personal lives is too brief to matter, but they gave us enough for us to see... it was sloppily done. JJ, who has been the face that families look to for years suddenly doesn't understand that her teen is moody and not an idiot?
Henry has grown up a lot and in that time, the team has been targeted multiple times, Hotch was arrested by SWAT while he was hanging out with Jack. Hotch and Jack went in WPP, Emily has died and come back, and the entire time has been targeted a handful of times. Including that time an UNSUB basically babysat him while his dad was a hostage and JJ roundhouse kicked Tricia Heffner (I love JJ, but that doesn't happen in ANY universe, I'm sorry.) They're lucky their kids don't have crippling anxiety knowing that their mom goes after the worst of the worst out there.
I'm curious what you think.
Last bit, sorry, I hate flashbacks in general, but especially when you present them in a way where I can't keep track of what happened when. Then it becomes meaningless black and white scenes that happened... at some point before now...
rant done. Sorry.
Heya Anon! Thanks so much for your thoughts (gen)!! I love hearing how other people are finding CME. Love this review, so I'm going to reply to each bit. :D
I don't remember if you've been watching, but CME isn't what I expected. And not in good way?
I've only seen E1-2 and instantly knew I didn't want to watch anymore because frankly, it's a fucking waste of time. I get updates from friends who have been watching and honestly, just what I know 2nd hand -- YEAH I am SO glad I'm not forcing myself to watch this. I personally, never wanted a reboot. After spending fifteen year sin the fandom, I was GLAD when the show got cancelled, it meant I was finally free!! And now this. To add insult to injury really is the fact CME is just SO SO bad. They took nicely wrapped up characters out of the bliss ending of S15, and said 'now we'll assassinate all fifteen years of those character's personalities and instead give you extremely bland, OOC shit'
I guess I feel a little let down because after they found Tyler, they kinda forgot the whole Serial Killer Network thing. The focus became Elias, but I thought they'd be confused a while longer or have to juggle, you know? "This is the guy behind it, but that guy is vicious and has three people right now…" That kinda thing The Serial Killer Network was never interesting to me. Like it's so fucking absurd, that when I first saw someone talking about it, I thought they were being sarcastic. The promo trailer??? LAUGHABLE. Absolutely wild. Yeah, they pushed this whole 'Serial Killer Network' then completely walked away from that plot 3 episodes in.
The team being spread out thinner than expected. THEN I could see bringing in Will. And maybe a fuck up happens because he's Metro PD, not a profiler and that causing some tension. It's absolutely no secret that I hate Will. He's a bland white man with an accent so over the top I can't even fucking understand him anymore. He's always thrown up red flags in he and JJ's relationship and he's always been a manipulative piece of shit. It's fucking appalling that he's been in every episode of CME?? Just continoulsy doing the 'wha wha wha quit your job' bullshit routine JJ and him have fought about for years and years. And now???? He what??? Needs to FUCKING BABYSIT HER???????? It's such a shitshow. This show really says: the "healthy" relationship on this show really is about lying to each other, emotional manipulation and abusive behaviours! (but fuck Tara's relationship) For some reason in the last episode, Will was on the jet with them when what he contributed was like a handful of words.... that could have been a text. It was too brief for an email!
If there aren't at MINIMUM TWO white men on the screen at any given time, the show will fall apart. The showrunners looked at CME and said 'Wow!! first time in this entire show's history that we have 2:1 ratio of women and you know what we'll do????? Add more white men characters and sideline the MAIN characters who are incredible women who we've NEVER given the time of day to!"
And like most procedural shows, the glimpses of their personal lives is too brief to matter, but they gave us enough for us to see... it was sloppily done.
Honestly!!! The fact Messer constantly teased that Evolution was going to give us MUCH more personal background of our beloved BAU agents was the only reason I was originally excited for this reboot.
But then they just....DIDN'T deliver. It literally feels like they hyped all of these personal background things (prior to the release) and then TOTALLY forgot to actually put them into the show. Until E9
I would NOT be surprised if the flashbacks in E9 were there because they showrunners had eight episodes in the can and finally realised they hadn't ACTUALLY put all the person life shit INTO the show. So they did half-assed flashbacks as a way to try and ret-con their way out of it, instead of giving those scenes the care and time they deserved.
I am ALL FOR flashbacks that tie a story together or further the plot. Doing sloppy flashbacks that don't even connect to each other is lazy writing.
JJ, who has been the face that families look to for years suddenly doesn't understand that her teen is moody and not an idiot?... They're lucky their kids don't have crippling anxiety knowing that their mom goes after the worst of the worst out there.
They assassinated pretty much every single character but none more so than JJ, imo. JJ is a fierce, loyal, strong badass and the ENTIRE reboot has been about WILL instead. She rarely has screentime without him and that's fucking boring!!!! Henry was so OOC too. I do not FOR A SECOND think this kid who grew up with all the horrors of the BAU is suddenly like 'yes, I am 14. I can take out a serial killer with a bat' Son, calm down.
The way they made such a huge ordeal about all that seems like maybe it was foreshadowing? Are they going to repeat Hit/Run and have Will and the kids be put in danger? Who knows! This show is such a dumpster fire.
Last bit, sorry, I hate flashbacks in general, but especially when you present them in a way where I can't keep track of what happened when. Then it becomes meaningless black and white scenes that happened... at some point before now...
I sort of talked about this above. I can get behind flashbacks if they SERVE A PURPOSE. (Like '200', even if that was them trying to retcon Emily's 'death'/ JJ's transfer) But it sounds like the flashbacks in E9 were hard to follow and nondescript so the viewer wasn't sure what the timeline was. ESPECIALLY when they have flashbacks for multiple characters, that have NOTHING to do with each other.
Flashbacks in visual media need to have an actual function for them to work. Having flashbacks for the sake of trying to fix shit that should be in Episode 1-2 (instead of 9-10), is just poor writing/planning.
There's my rant in reply, Anon! Thanks so much for your ask. I genuinely love hearing people's opinions about CME (or CM in general)

Wreckless - Face Time with the Parents
Tumblr media
*Warning Adult Content*
Emmett
Andy is at my place when we arrive and I realize that I didn't tell him when I'd be home.
"Hey man, thanks for keeping an eye on the place."
"No worries, wasn't sure if you'd be home in time to play with him tonight and besides, your place is nicer than mine."
He shares an apartment with his brother.
"Quieter."
"That too. Oh, uh, hey Finnegan."
Why does Andy seem so nervous around Finnegan?
"Hi Andy. Thanks again for the desk, it's working out great."
He runs his hand through his non-existent hair.
"Oh yeah, no problem. So uh, I should get out of here and let you two um..."
"Fuck?" Finnegan asks and I lose it.
The rascal.
"Oh my God Finnegan, stop."
Poor Andy looks like he swallowed his tongue.
"He's kidding, Andy. Kidding. Relax."
"Andy, just pretend I'm a woman if it helps. There's really no difference between a gay relationship and a straight one except for sex and I'm sure you know enough of the details without me elaborating. But seriously, would you come home from a beach vacation and immediately screw your girlfriend in front of Emmett? No, of course you wouldn't. We fucked all week, we can wait till you leave."
He pats Andy on the shoulder and then heads upstairs.
I don't know what to do, honestly.
It's true and Finnegan said it all nicely but poor Andy.
I'm still chuckling.
Andy looks right at me.
"I don't have a problem with it, I just..."
"I know you don't Andy, you're fine. He's just teasing you because you seemed so uncomfortable."
"Well I guess, yeah I guess I am. Not sure why, just sort of weird being the only straight guy around. Is it weird for you, at the alley?"
Oh, tough one.
"Sometimes."
I'm never sure who knows and who doesn't, who's staring for the right reasons or the wrong ones or if anyone cares at all.
Probably not.
"I promise that your asshole is safe with us, Andy. Never fear."
Okay, didn't need to add that but I can't blame Finnegan, Andy is fun to mess with.
"Uh, thanks? Well, I really should get out of here, gotta work tonight. I fed Marten and uh, your mail is on the table in the kitchen."
He's never going to come back, ever.
I feel bad, actually but it all probably needed to be said.
I take my bag upstairs and head in to check on Marten with my own eyes.
Finnegan is already on his laptop.
"Are we doing the thing tonight? With your parents?"
"Yeah eight p.m. our time if that works for you."
"Sure, sure."
I need to hit the grocery store before then and Finnegan asks if I mind picking up his dry-cleaning while I'm out.
No, it's practically next door.
He wants pizza for dinner but I'm going to cook since this may be the last meal for days that I get to feed him.
Or maybe not, he said he could stay at the beach house so hopefully this week won't be too crazy for him.
"Thanks Emmett."
By 7:30 p.m. I'm panicking even though Finnegan met my Dad and that was fine.
The kitchen is all cleaned up and we're unpacked and ready to go.
"Hey, what should I wear?" I ask.
Please don't say a monkey suit, please.
"What you're wearing is fine. Just don't be one of those folks who logs into a zoom meeting without pants on. Never worth it. Are you nervous?"
"Yes."
I am, there's no point in denying it.
"Why?"
"Because... he's a bigwig businessman."
"So am I, Emmett."
"Yeah but he's your father and your mom, what do I call them?"
"Finnegan and Sarah will work just fine."
Oh God, that's right, two Finnegans.
So confusing.
"I'm glad I'm not named after my dad."
"It's a pain sometimes. Is yours random?"
"Um, no, it's for my mom. She was Emily. Said if she had to give birth, she was naming me after her. My dad agreed. Used to call us M&M's, wow, haven't thought about that in a long time."
It's nice that the memory doesn't bring me to tears.
Instead I have a huge grin on my face.
"I think I would have liked your mom a lot. She sounds awesome."
"She was a total hot shit. Sort of like you."
He sticks his tongue out at me and grabs his laptop.
Let's sit on the couch and put this on the coffee table.
"Should work fine."
I look around and make sure that what they'll see is clean.
I don't like clutter but I'll admit that I don't like cleaning, either.
It looks okay and Finnegan seems fine with it.
He pats my knee and smiles as he sets it all up.
"We're a few minutes early, they may not join right away."
But they do. There they are.
Finnegan senior but he's not, is he?
Finn's dad looks a lot like him but has a mustache and some grey in his hair.
He's wearing a shirt that I imagine you would golf in.
Finn's mom has a chin-length blond bob and is smiling.
She speaks first.
"Hi Finnegan. Is this working?"
"Hi mom, dad. This is Emmett."
Shit... my turn.
I sort of smile and wave.
"Hello. Nice to meet you."
Now I'm not sure what to do with my hands.
"We just got back from the beach," Finnegan tells them.
"Had a few days, construction just started and I needed a breather before the next phase."
His dad leans forward and yells much more than he needs to.
How does he not know how this works?
"Saw the update, looks good. Nice to meet you Emmett, tell us about yourself."
No... really?
Shit... he did NOT warn me.
"Not sure what to say. I was born here in Baltimore, did eight years in the army...."
I'm out.
"He's an amazing photographer, let me show you the..."
And Finnegan is up and carrying the laptop to the tree pictures I did.
"Isn't this cool?" he asks his parents.
His mom murmurs in agreement and he comes back to the couch.
"He's a mechanic."
Okay, so they're allowed to know.
I wasn't sure if I should say that.
"And he makes the best pork chops I've ever eaten, sorry mom."
Sarah chuckles and waves it off.
"As long as you're eating good food I'm happy. You got some sun, didn't see until the light changed."
"Emmett slathered me in sunscreen but you know how it goes."
"I do. I'm so glad you got a little vacation in, honey, you deserve it. Well Emmett, you seem like a very nice young man. I'm glad you're taking care of our Finnegan, he tends to work too hard. We all know where he got that from," she says, tapping his father's knee.
"Nothing wrong with it. Helps if you've got some support," he says and then he amazes me by kissing Sarah's cheek.
"I hate computer meetings, we need to do this in person sometime. I'll talk to you soon Finnegan..."
And then the screen is black.
Finn just laughs.
"Can't believe Dad stayed on that long. So, are you okay?"
"You tell me."
"You're okay, Emmett. Thanks for that. They really wanted to say hello to you."
I am practically sweating through my shirt.
"Damn it. I need a shower."
"Oh, me too. Me too."
I can work with that.
Defiantly.
