You quietly unlocked up Carmys apartment door, seeing as it was 11:00 and he still wasn’t home. You sighed deeply to yourself, slightly annoyed but slightly having expected this. So you go ahead and clean up the empty water bottles and redbull cans, vacuuming and putting his dirty jeans and tshirts in his washing machine for him and starting a load. 
You even found some spaghetti and sauce in the cabinet, starting a pot on the stove knowing he was never later then 12:15, and he always ate when he got home since family service was at 3:00 and 9 hours on his feet rushing around a kitchen absolutely built up quite the appetite. 
You stripped his bed and put on fresh sheets for the two of you just in time to strain the pasta, and queue up one of his favorite YouTube cooking channels newest videos. You weren’t sure how he understood anything going on given as they were speaking Russian- but he likes what he likes. 
By the time you heard keys in the door, you were already in your pajamas. He came in, clearly uncomfortable. “Shit you made dinner f’r us?! God you’re amazing baby” he wraps you in a hug. He smelt lightly like grease and sweat, but it was a smell you’d never dislike. It was distinctly Bear. Your Bear. 
“I did, you deserve somethin’ hot hm? How was your day?” You asked softly and kissed his jaw, and down his neck, before rubbing over his chest lightly and getting on your knees to unlace his sneakers to which he sighed gratefully, as his back was killing him after scrubbing the floors for over an hour. 
“Y’re a fuckin angel- I don’t deserve that baby” he tells you this every night, but every night you continue to do it, because he does. 
“Come sit bear” you drag him to the couch, gently tugging off his sneakers when he sits and he groans, resting his sore feet on the coffee table 
“Oh shit- this is new?” He asked as he saw the tv, grabbing the controller and hitting play on the video of some Russian woman making soup. 
“Mmhmm- here baby” you made up his plate and brought it to him with a fork and napkin to see he was already slumping down on the couch with his arms crossed and eyes hooded half asleep, he was exhausted. “Bear-“ you said gently and he woke up quickly, sitting up. 
“Wow- thank you sweetheart, fuck this is so nice. I’m so hungry thank you honey” he took the plate and kissed you tenderly. “Wait- fuckin hell princess did you clean? Don’ be doin’ that I told you honey thas’ my job” he told you, twirling a good amount of pasta on his fork and taking a bite 
“I did clean because there were empty redbull cans everywhere. And you deserve a clean place to hang out when you aren’t working mm?” You kiss the top of his head before heading back to the kitchen and putting away the rest of the pasta, then washing the dishes. 
“Baaaaaabe!” He groans in annoyance when he heard the sink cut on and you washing the dishes you used to make dinner “stop! I can do those ‘fore work” he mumbled through a mouth of spaghetti and you giggle 
“Ah yes at 2:00? In 3 hours? When I can just do them now?” You teased “id rather have the extra 5 minutes in bed with you” you told him and he blushed, finishing his food as you finished up the dishes and going to sit back on the couch 
“Aht!” You tut “bathroom stinky garlic breath then bed.” You told him and he huffed, having been caught. 
“C’mon m’tired babygirl come sit w’me” he said and gave you a pout, tugging your hips. You caught yourself on the back of the couch, hovering over him and refusing to give in and straddle his hips, knowing if you did he’d just roll over, lay down, and fall asleep immediately. 
“Carmen” you said softly and he scrunched his nose at the use of his full name. 
“Don’ call me that” he mumbled, hugging your torso and nuzzling his face in your belly, sighing tiredly. 
“Carmen Anthony” you said in response and you laughed at the dramatic groan that came out of him, like a toddler being scolded. “It’s that time my dear, for you to go brush your teeth. Then you can come to bed and I’ll rub your back” you said and his head shot up 
“Really?” He questioned hopefully and you giggle. 
“Really truly. Get in that bathroom” you ruffle his hair and shut off the tv before heading to the bedroom. He came in a few minutes later, stripping down to his boxers and laying stomach down. 
“Been thinkin’ “ he mumbled as you warm up the lotion in your hands. 
“Yeah? What about sweetheart?” You gently rub his tight shoulders and he moaned softly at the contact, letting out one of his tired bear sighs as you called them. Just a long, breathy sigh that ended with a little grumble like an old man how bears did in nature documentaries when settling in for the night. 
“ ‘bout us” he said and you smiled a bit, continuing to massage his shoulders and back. 
“About us huh? What about us love” you counter. You and Carmy had been seeing eachother for about 4 months now, you’d only really been to the restaurant after closing when everyone has already went home but you had gone once for your sisters birthday - of course you told her you knew a great spot when she asked for recommendations. When he saw your name on the reservation list that night, he thought he was surely hallucinating. 
When it was finally your reservation time, he went over to the window and looked over his restaurant. Sure enough, you were sitting there. It took everything in him to not go out there - you looked stunning. He wanted to tell you that, he wanted to get a closer look at what you were wearing. He always loved your outfits because you were into vintage fashion just like he was, one of your favorite dates was to get coffee together and then go thrifting. 
But he didn’t, because he wasn’t sure you wanted anyone to know you were dating, but he did make sure to let Richie know to comp the table. He was confused as all hell, even more so when he asked ‘why’ and Carmen snapped at him - 
‘I dunno cause it says it’s a fuckin birthday table on the reservation and I’m fuckin’ feelin’ nice? So just comp the table and get off my back, cousin.’
Because he hadn’t ever known another time where Carmy was ‘feeling nice’ before, but nonetheless he did as he was told per usual. Your sister was over the moon excited, gushing about what a great review she would leave and how nice it is they gave a random patron a birthday meal. 
You weren’t sure if Carmy was okay with you telling people you were dating - so you agreed and just said it was awesome, pretending that same night the man who had made the meal wasn’t fucking you against his shower wall the night prior. 
When he saw you that night, and asked why you never said anything - you told him you didn’t wanna be a bother or make him feel you were owed ‘special treatment’, he told you firmly you were never a bother, and that any time you want to come in to let him know because he’d make sure to get you the best spot in the house and of course you’d never pay him to eat there. 
When you asked why he looked at you like you had 3 heads before telling you “cus’ you’re you, it’s my restaurant, and in my restaurant, you don’t pay- got it?” that was the end of the conversation. 
“About…I dunno- y’my girl…but I’ve never really told anyone other then you before.” He said and your heart flutters. 
His girl. 
He’d never said that before - put a claim on you. You’re his girl, now. Not just a girl he’s seeing, not just a ‘friend’ which had been the running name you’d both used to describe your relationship, even though there was always a beat of awkward silence after the word came out of either of your mouths. 
“I’m your girl” you repeat and he sits up on his forearm and looks at you 
“You seein other people?” He asked seriously. 
You couldn’t help but laugh. “No Carmy. You have been the only person for…” you stopped, not wanting to embarrass yourself. You had known you wanted something serious with him from the start but were too embarrassed to admit it. “Some time now. So - yes. What about this do you want people to know?”  You asked 
“I wanna tell people about you…about us - that we’re- y’know..goin’ steady..is that alright?” 
You nodded, a big smile forming on your lips. “Yes. Yes- tell anyone you want to. Can I too?” You asked 
In response he turned on his side, pulling you to him and kissing you deeply. His tongue swiped along your lower lip, nose nudging the side of yours gently. You opened your mouth for him, tasting toothpaste and mouthwash on his tongue, you hum softly as you felt his hot breath fan your upper lip in a satisfied huff when your hand found his curls, gently massaging the back of his neck. 
His calloused hand finds your lower back, pushing up his white shirt that you’d stolen from his hamper that smelt so distinctly of him you couldn’t help but wear it so when he left you too early in the morning it still felt as if he was with you. He loved seeing you wear his clothes, it drove him insane thinking about you, in his apartment, sleeping in his bed, wearing his shirt. It took up a lot more mental space in the mornings then he’d care to admit. 
He rolled the lace hem of your faded patterned strawberry panties that Carmy adored. Even though you were getting warm from all the excitement, goosebumps still appeared on your skin from his gentle caress over your stomach before dipping his fingers in the fabric. You, without even needing to think about it, lifted your thigh for him and he cupped your heat for a moment with his hand, squeezing you with a light pressure. 
You whined into his mouth, slack jawed from the contact, and you were no longer kissing eachother but more like breathing into eachothers mouths with the sucking of tongue and lips from Carmy. He spread you out with his forefinger as well as his ring finger, a wet click sound following the action. He dipped his middle finger over your dripping hole and you shiver, a bead of sweat dripping down the back of your neck. 
He kissed down your chin, to your jaw, to your neck as he teased your entrance with the pad of his finger. You were a pathetic whimpering mess beneath him already, his hands always made you this way. “Please” you whimper and he kissed your jaw as his finger trailed over your exposed clit from having you spread so well with his fingers, even the gentle movement causing your hips to jerk and a cry to leave your throat 
“Mmm always so sensitive f’me” he said, gathering more of the wetness from your pussy that was beginning to drip down the curve of your ass and gush with his movements. You gasp as he slathers that wetness over your bud, before easily rubbing his finger back and forth over it as he sucked a bruise into your collarbone. 
Your hips rut into his hand, strings of curses mixed between saying his name until he sticks that middle finger inside with no resistance due to how wet you were, upon entrance his finger made a schlick noise as you were essentially sucking him in, like your pussy itself was begging how you were. “Christ” he muttered into your skin, pumping his finger in and out slowly, curling it every so often in search of that spot. 
“Please please- another one” you begged and he adds his ring finger, curling them up together and you nearly sob your knees coming together subconsciously 
“Open ‘em baby, c’mon lemme make you cum yeah?” He used his other hand to ease your legs apart to realize your thighs were quivering. “Y’bein such a good girl right now lettin me play w’you.” He said hotly in your ear, rubbing over your shaking thigh sweetly as he curled his fingers into the same spot, pressing with increasing pressure and with his palm, massaging your clit. 
Your back arched off the bed, grabbing his forearm with one hand and the sheets with the other, gripping them both tightly and your walls flutter around him. “That’s it. Go ahead pretty girl. My pretty girl” he kissed your forehead gently, and the tender gesture mixed with being called his was enough to throw you into an orgasm that had you seeing stars behind your lids as you cry out his name. 
Seeing you this way was his favorite part of the day, and it was so good that he sacrificed at least half an hour of his 5 dedicated to sleeping for it. So good, in fact, that seeing you squirm and writhe, mixed with you sobbing out his name and rambling about how only he has ever made you feel so good, and that you wished you could have him all the time - and his now sticky fingers he was able to palm his cock a few times, before sucking the slick off his fingers - the combination of all of that made him cum in his boxers like a teenager. 
You hear him whimper at the tail end of your orgasm and you open your eyes to see him gripping his cock with creamy wet boxers, sucking on his fingers so much there was drool dripping down his chin. You couldn’t help but drop your jaw at how hot the sight was, the way his abs clench and unclench, the way his stomach tightens and releases as the waves of his climax crash over him. He was beautiful. 
It wasn’t like you could help yourself. You sat up a bit and got on your knees, he didn’t notice because he was still in the thick of it - and straddled his calf. Now he noticed. “What are you-“ he’s interrupted by your nose in the crook of his thigh and his cock, breathing in the salty heady scent of his cum before taking the fabric in your mouth and sucking, looking up at him with big doe eyes through your lashes. 
“Oh my god” his eyes nearly rolled in the back of his head, his jaw dropping at the sight before him. “You are gonna fuckin’ kill me” he said and you smiled a bit as you suck down the sweet salty flavor. His cock jumped at the action and you pulled the fabric up between your teeth, tugging down and his cock flopped out onto his stomach, half hard from your antics. 
“Can I help you clean up?” You asked sweetly and he bit back a whimper at such an innocent voice being used to ask such a filthy question. 
“Uh-“ he swallowed thickly, looking at your chin that was glistening with the sticky cum from his boxers “If- if I can clean you up after” he countered and you nod. 
“Sounds like a deal” you said and gently took him in your dominant hand, licking a stripe from base to tip enjoying the way he twitched under your tongue. He bit his lip, sucking a breath through his teeth at the sensitivity so you eased up on the pressure of your tongue when you got to his tip, humming softly when it spurts out a little glob of pre, almost in thanks. 
“Wow- you can go again? Already?” You asked amazedly and he shook his head quickly 
“Fuck no - hell fuckin’ no, this’ as hard as ‘m’gettin’ it would hurt t’go like this“ he said and you pout a bit. 
“Darn, would’ve been fun” you said and resumed rubbing your tongue over his length that was jumping and twitching at your stimulation. “Feels good though right?” You ask and he hums, in a way that almost sounded like a whimper but he clears his throat to cover it 
“Mmhmm- feels- feels really good” he said and you smile, rubbing your lips over his vein that ran on the side, dipping your tongue between your lips to feel the girth of it. After a few more minutes of sucking and licking, and a few flicks of your tongue - he gently pats your head “think ‘m clean” he said a bit breathlessly and you looked up at him. 
“You sure? I don’t wanna miss any spots” you joked and he chuckled 
“I’m sure. And I want my turn now” he said and you wipe your drooly mouth on his hip and giggle before laying down and peeling off your soaked panties, thankful they were coming off because they were becoming uncomfortable - and chucking them who knows where. 
“Ah, thanks f’usin me as a napkin very kind” he jokes and fixed his boxers before laying on his stomach in front of you, putting a thigh on each shoulder and essentially hugging your hips, supporting himself with his elbows and going to work right away. 
He kissed over your thighs, up your wet sensitive lips to your mound, placing a gentle kiss there as well and gently nibbling on the pad of fat there. “I fuckin love this” he said, sucking on the mound of flesh. You giggled a bit, crossing your ankles together and watching him as he gazes up at you intently. 
“You’re nibbling on me like a dog” you gently rub over his hair and scratch his scalp to which he hums in appreciation and licks you over, swirling his tongue over your clit and flicking it. You shivered at the action, thighs cupping his face and he pulled away a bit 
“Please don’t make my ears pop” he chuckled, his hot breath ghosting over your heat in a way that made your toes curl. 
“Sorry - sorry baby” you loosened your grip and pet his hair gently as he continued to devour your folds, slurping and sucking and lapping up all the wetness you had to offer. You moaned and whimpered, watching him as he dragged his tongue back and forth over your clit, resting his palm face up on your belly. You grabbed his hand, lacing your fingers together over your abdomen. 
“You’re so pretty Carmy” you praise, your other hand playing with his now sweaty curls from everything going on “such pretty eyes” you said softly and he hums gently, nuzzling your clit with his nose as he fucks you with his tongue, lapping up your walls from the inside as well. Your belly tightens, hips arching slightly off the bed “fuck baby I’m close” you told him and his eyes flutter shut in bliss, kissing your clit gently before sucking on it. 
Your orgasm washed over you like a gentle, warm wave washing you out to sea. You hummed happily as your thighs shook, core clenching and fluttering around his tongue as he worked you through it, stroking your thigh gently. “So good- always so good bear” you said tiredly and kiss his hand. Your eyes fluttered shut for a moment as he licked a stripe up your core to finish you off, before kissing your thigh sweetly. 
You then felt him wipe his soaking wet chin and mouth on the inside of your thigh, and your eyes flicker back open to see him smirking teasingly. “What? S’just payback!”

Hello my wonderful fandom family :) We're finally back to new eps. I wasn't ready for this episode in the least. Idk I was ever gonna be ready tbh. If this isn’t the most apt ep name ever following the last ep. Bare with me as I once again sort through my thoughts and such. I'm really struggling with the 'mini' portion of these reviews the last few eps.
Ain't nothing mini about my emotions haha But I am sure come summer they'll be more refined for sure. Also thank you to anyone who reads these thoughts and enjoys them. It's still a trip to me people appreciate my thoughts. I just want to be a ray of sunshine and positivity with these.
A source of comfort while we all go through this together. Cause that's the beauty of fandom. Going through it together. Once again wanna preface there will be ZERO tolerance for bashing of any kind. They are both going through it right now. We all love these characters so much its why we're on here. I love conversation and comments but not spreading hate. With that in mind let's start eh?
6x07 Crushed
Tumblr media
Tamara moving out still..... Ugh. I’m so sad about this. Truly the end of an era right here everyone. Also Lucy not wearing her necklace gut punch already to my feels...Poor Lucy wants her to stay but would never ask Tamara to do that. I wanna cry already for Lucy....I hate her necklace being missing and it's very obvious it's missing. *sad sigh*
I do love Lucy taking Tamara out to fancy dinner least. Channeling her emotions into something positive. Wanting to love on her before she goes. Tamara mentioning Tim getting kicked out of Metro…She isn’t wrong it is down hill after the pinnacle of Lucy indeed. Trying to give her a compliment but Lucy isn't taking it that way. I wanna cry for a second time. She looks so distressed. *sigh* Two massive pillars in her life are now gone and it's felt in this brief moment.
Tumblr media
Tim in his old Metro office disassembling it. My heart. You all know how much I loved him In Metro. Killing me. Also just shows how much of a nose dive he took after this Ray debacle. Grey seeing this and sighing before going in after him. Tim seems like he’s in robot mode when Wade enters. Saying all the things he thinks Grey wants to hear since he’s back. No real emotion behind it. Just the grunt mentality he thinks he should have.
Gonna be more than just his trust you’re gonna need to earn back my love….Love Wade having him to ride along with Dr. London. Anyone needs it our boy does right now. Of course Tim bites back on this idea why wouldn’t he? Wouldn’t be Tim if he didn’t. Tim saying breaking up with Lucy has nothing to do with the Ray situation. Uh... it has everything to do with that my love EVERYTHING.
Grey standing his ground saying if he wants to regain his trust this is where it starts. I love him saying breaking up with Lucy and being bounced back to patrol due to being reckless makes him question his judgement. As it should…You forget Timothy this man watched you grow with Lucy for years. Saw how much she made you grew and joy she brought out in you. Of course he is questioning your actions. He just watched you throw away the best thing ever that's ever happened to you. Your judgement is being judged severely....
Tumblr media
I adore Wade Grey. He's not only putting Tim in his place and saying he could mandate therapy (which he would be justified in doing...) Or take the ride along. Then saying he’s taking Lucy out too. Just so he knows he is looking out for them both in this moment. The man knows what he is doing.
Tumblr media
I can’t believe Smitty doing breakup odds. I’m incensed by this tbh. Also I want punch the dude who said Tim would’ve cheated. He would NEVER. How very dare you. I hate that list. It makes me wanna rage out so hard. If any of them knew them at all they’d know it would never be something like that. Also her and Aaron? Ewww no no no.... Lucy had every right to ream Smitty out more than she did. So inappropriate it's insane. For shame sir truly.
Tumblr media
I'm glad she shut it down. Last thing they need is the station gossiping about them like this. They're going to anyways but Ugh I hate this whole thing. I feel sick. Of course she runs into Tim right after.... Worst timing ever. Breaks my heart because he still is excited to see her but she isn't ready for him. How could she be? He looks so sad. But Tim what are you expecting my love? No way she is ready to be near you let alone talk. This hurts to watch…Lucy trying so hard just not to have a meltdown right there in the station.
Tumblr media
I was very excited for him to have this ride along I will say and this opening scene is why. Dr London on his ass already. I love it. As she should be. Saying he’s bringing Aaron as a buffer. Which he is… Classic avoidance attachment style. That’s our boy. She’s not wrong he prefers surface level relationships (other than Lucy...) to a deep intimacy. His default state with anyone who isn't his girl.
She has him dead to rights already. Saying it’s a defense mechanism when someone is raised by an overly strict or domineering parent. A father. She’s not wrong. We all know his history. Tim of course isn’t about this whatsoever only making her assessment about him even more valid. Their scenes starting off real strong.
Tumblr media
Grey wanting to check in on Lucy I do love it. He’s not wrong she’s been through HELL this year. The detectives exam, Jeff Budney and now losing Tim. God this hasn’t been an easy season for her. To say she's going through it is the understatement of the century. I'm hurting for her so very much. Her entire world has been rocked to it's very core in the last week alone. Not mention everything else before this.
It’s so awkward Lucy inviting everyone but Tim to Tamara’s going away dinner…. In front of Dr. London too. That shot from Tim’s body cam seems very intentional. As he looks at everyone she’s inviting but him. Way his head goes back and forth. Grey patting Tim on the arm on the way out. *phew* Rough start to the shift.
Tumblr media
Of course their first call is disturbingly close to what she and Tim are dealing with. Not exactly what Lucy needs. Hearing this woman talking about thinking he was the one then it just ended. *heart clutch* Crushed is an apt name for how I was feeling during this episode.
Lucy has clearly kept this all inside for too long with her reaction to the situation. Wade would never set you up like that. Just shows how hyper sensitive she is atm. Why he's doing this ride along with her. He wants to keep you sane not crazy. I wanna hug her so much. 'I do watch too much reality tv. It's my bad' Lmao. Needed a little levity. This made me chuckle.
Tumblr media
We hit the ground running about breakups with Dr. London. Honestly no need to beat around the bush for this observation of Tim. ‘Breakups are a trigger for many men. Especially since stereotypical gender roles prevent them from seeking out help. For fear of appearing weak.’ If that isn’t Tim and this entire situation right now…
Hell that's his ENTIRE life. He was shamed into never wanting help and if he did he was meant to feel weak for it. Just like she is stating above. She is very good at her job and just getting started. Tim can't hide in any of his normal brush off statements. Which I love. She has him pegged already and it shows. Quite the opening jab from her to start this off.
Tumblr media
Lucy looks on verge of tears at all times right now and I’m dying. Especially when Grey brings up his name. Asking if they’ve talked since the breakup? Melissa straight killing me in this shop right now everyone. Those pre tears.....Saying she thought he didn’t care about her personal life. He’s not wrong if it affects her job it does matter. The point of this ride-along. To gauge where she is currently.
‘Smart to make the connection between IA and them breaking up. ‘Just a bad week.’ Oh its so much more than that…. Lucy protects him of course with the unethical portion. Bad place or not she's not going to cast any suspicion with that. But It’s so very clear she is painfully unaware why he did this to her. To them.
Tumblr media
Only that he’s not emotionally available to her. *sigh* This is true. The man is a disaster zone atm. I mean he’s definitely occupied mentally in a way she doesn’t understand yet. Hell I don’t even think Tim understands it really. All he knows is he think's he's toxic and she’s better off without him. Which is a huge part of this episode tbh.
So she isn't wrong he is not emotionally available right now. That much is painfully true. The joke about the Diamondbacks was funny but sad at the same time. They found good way of getting little funnies in there with Grey. I do appreciate that. I'm a sports girl so I this made me smile.
Tumblr media
Dr London really coming at Tim in this next section. She is wasting ZERO time with him. ‘Lot of romantic feelings start out as platonic love.’ Going right for it when she says he and Lucy were friends first right? His reaction…Gonna makes me bawl Eric. Hurts to watch this. Looks like he wants to cry. Ugh Tim. Killing me softly. She is getting under his skin quicker than he was expecting and you can tell. Hitting at a very raw nerve he's trying to keep hidden. He looks so distraught and emotional when he replies 'I was her T.O.'
Tim saying he’s not depressed. Oh my love….but you are. Depressed and wracked with a massive amount of guilt. ‘I broke up with her.’ So so defensive. Can’t let good doctor see this whole thing is crushing him. That would be weakness. He is fighting off a panic attack in this moment. So unsettled by this entire interaction. She is picking up on that guilt that is all but exuding out of him in this moment.
Tumblr media
She really brings it home saying internalizing guilt and shame leads to self directed anger. Self harm and suicide. If that isn't Tim Bradford my god. The self directed anger is him in spades. His face while she tells him all this.. Oh my lord. She has him dead to rights once again. He is experiencing so much guilt about it and it’s written all over his face. Tim is barely keeping it together while she is telling him stonewalling will only get him sidelined. Honestly I’m glad she’s confronting him like this. Coming at him so hard cause Tim needs that especially right now.
He can’t have passive people in this life when it comes to this kind of stuff. The one person who could knock sense into him he’s pushed away. So Dr. London being here is much needed. Of course Tim snaps at Aaron cause he can’t handle what he’s currently going through. Lashing out because what she is saying to him is true and he isn't able to handle it. Hitting very close to home. So he's defaulting back to S1 Tim in this moment. Destroying Aaron in the process..
Tumblr media
I love them talking about Tamara and the unconditional love Lucy has shown her. It’s so true. It’s that love that gave her courage to leave. Even though it's hard to watch happen. It shows what accepting unconditional love can do for you. Lucy bringing back to Tim because how could she not? Mentioning about letting people go even if you really care about them them. *sigh*. You can tell she is on the verge of tears once again.
That feeling where you've been keeping it inside for far too long. It comes out in anything you talk about. Like right now in this moment. Even talking about Tamara is cycling back to Tim and it shows how deeply upset she is. How could she not be? She is losing two of her people in one fail swoop. It's a miracle she hadn't lost it sooner than this moment tbh.
Tumblr media
Lucy crushing me some more in this episode. Further proving she has zero idea why Tim did what he did. How he could let go so easily. It was a blindside for us all but none more than for her. His person. The one who never ever expected him to leave her side. Tim did leave her with a cheap cliche nonsense about deserving better. It's so much complex than that but I can see why she is so angry about that. She deserved better than that.
It’s what upset her so much in that 6x06 scene. Because it felt like a cop out to her. When it’s so much deeper than that but Lucy doesn’t know that. Thats what killing me and her. Lucy going off saying it was her decision to make what she deserves. It’s true. She is so justified in saying this. Sadly Tim made that decision despite her willingness to love him no matter what.
Took away her choice to keep him even if he felt he wasn't worthy. Wasn't just HIS choice to make. That's what pissing her off and rightfully so. He doesn’t understand the unconditional love she had to give him or how to accept it. All he could see was how much better she was without him. All she wants is a real conversation with him and she didn't get to have that. He took the choice away from her and she's left holding the emotional bag of it all and it sucks.
Tumblr media
Punches keep rolling with Dr London. Attacking his problem at it's damaged root. As much as he is trying to bury it he cannot hide from her and her assessment of him. This is a huge turning point in the ep. Tim saying he owns his mistakes and moves on. So cut and dry and she isn’t having ANY of it. Nor should she. He hasn’t moved on in the slightest. Once again pegging him for not only not being over it but having his whole identity being wrapped up in acting honorably. If he was past that he wouldn’t have ended things with Lucy. We wouldn't be here. But he feels not worthy and not honorable enough for Lucy so he cut ties.
Her noting it’s had a devastating effect on his self esteem. Which is why he is punishing himself. i.e He let the love of his life go. He feels he doesn’t deserve such things for being so un-honorable. My broken boy. Tim isn’t sure what’s she is getting at. Asking what she's talking about? She continues to portray him accurately. That he is punishing himself by depriving himself of something he loves. Something that brings him joy. Or someone....Clearly that someone being Lucy.
The joy she brought to his life he no longer feels he deserves. Lucy was the one constant in his life that made him happy. So he’s depriving himself of it in order to punish himself. This sounds so harsh and severe but I relate to this. When I was new at my current job. I wasn’t very good at first. I was down right on the verge of being fired. I got a game plan to fix myself from my leader. BUT I was punishing myself for not being good enough in the first place. How did I do this? I took away something I loved and brought me joy. Music.
I refused to listen to music during my job because I felt I didn’t deserve it. I wouldn’t let myself enjoy it till I was better and had earned it back. I got to a place where I let myself have something I loved back and it helped so much and ultimately got me through it. So I relate to Tim doing this to himself i really do. He is denying the one person who brings him joy because of that self-punishment. He feels he has failed who he should be therefore he can't have what he wants and needs most. Lucy. You can really see it hit Tim by time Aaron rejoins them. She hit the nail on the head and Tim is feeling it.
Tumblr media
Lucy spotting Tim and touching her tattoo SO MUCH. Ugh my heart. Her grounding method to remind herself she's a survivor. The problem with all that is him being the reason for that reminder. Which just hurts. I'm not crying you are....Tim so out of his depth all he can do is be awkward with his ‘Clocking out?’ Babe....No...(Also I feel personally attacked by this song they chose for this scene.)
Lucy calling him out for it instantly. Because well she’s his person. Bad place or not she is always gonna tell him what he needs to hear. Won't let him hide behind niceties. Confronting that things aren't ok between them and she won't let him use it to hide. Asking for a real adult conversation with him. One which he is NOT ready for. This hurt to watch not gonna lie. This whole situation hurts.
Tumblr media
Tim deflects….with another cheap answer of saying he can’t give her what she wants. Ugh. You are everything she wants you foolish man. I don’t blame Lucy for cutting that convo off at the knees. She wanted more depth from him and got nothing in return. Telling him he has more to figure out than she realized…and feeling like she is no longer than person to help him with that.
My heart is breaking all over again… Lucy always felt she was his person to get him through anything and to hear this only hurts her further. Coming to that realization and taking off because of it. The song running through this scene is poignant and hurtful…Also the continual clutching to her tattoo as she departs from him. I'll just be weeping in the corner don't mind me....
Tumblr media
I wasn't expecting the scene we got here in Grey's office. But was so pleasantly surprised. My hope was that Dr. London broke through to him. That his ride along with her wouldn't be a one-off. I’m so proud of Tim I can't even tell you. To not only see he has work to do but to ask if he could start seeing her as a patient. He seemed disappointed she didn't mandate sessions. Which he needed so he could advocate for himself. Blair had pegged him early on and I think this will be so so good for him.
His healing journey is starting now and I’m so excited for him. Even though my heart is outside my chest right now for our couple. This is going to be good for Tim. I know people have been weird about Dr London. I haven’t gotten a bad feeling from her. I could be wrong but haven't gotten that. I think this is the healing Eric was talking about. That journey he needs to be in order to find his way back to Lucy. Grey's line was perfect. It's SO hard to ask for help. Tim can see something is wrong and wants to fix it. This is a beautiful start to this journey for him.
Tumblr media
This final scene with Tamara and Lucy made me cry. This whole ep has made me cry really. Their relationship has always been one of my favorites. To watch how they’ve both grown. How Tamara learned to trust again and receive that unconditional love Lucy had to give. Gah I love it so much. Took a broken untrusting girl and molded her into a confident bad ass. I've never been able to classify what they are. They're sisters, friends and family all wrapped up in one.
Hard to watch Lucy lose this piece of her life on top of everything else. Tim may have a lot of growth to do but I think Lucy too has room to grow from this all as well. She has been given quite the bad hand in this season. Maybe she can get some direction and clarity what she wants to do with career and such. I hate that she has to be the collateral damage to everything this year. It's hard to watch. But I am interested to see how she handles it all. See how she stands after all this. I think as hard as this is will end up making her more resilient.
Lucy been struggling with her own stuff this year as well. Being so good about pegging everyone around her but being blind in her own self awareness. it's going to be interesting to see how Lucy handles everything moving forward. I hope you all know how deeply my heart breaks for her. I don't like seeing her hurt anymore than I do Tim. I wanted to cry for her most of this episode. That being said I do think this growth journey will be good for her as well. Like Eric said she'll be ok they'll grow stronger from it. Can't wait to see how it plays out.
Tumblr media
I wasn’t expecting one more scene with him reaching out like this. Telling her she was right. He’s mad himself. That stark realization that is coming over him. My god I’m so proud of him I could burst. Not only advocating for himself but telling her it was an emergency. When everything inside him is trying to do the 'honorable thing' and not call it an emergency when it is. To see he's not being a burden by reaching out like this. It’s so hard to take care of yourself when you don’t think much of yourself. It’s a foreign feeling and to act on it even more so.
Learning it’s ok to ask for help, to be imperfect, to set healthy boundaries and grow. Not an easy place to get to. This scene is HUGE for Tim. Now I mean this in the nicest way I can muster but If you can't grasp how groundbreaking this is for him you don't get him as a character at all. Nor do you understand the gravity of this SL/situation. Of what this final scene represents for him. Tim is seeing something is broken within himself and he doesn't know how to fix it. All he knows is something is wrong and he doesn't want to feel this way anymore. He wants to understand why and to get better.
I know I spent most of my 20's running away from therapy. Saying I didn't need it. That it was non sense. Pushing everything down and deflecting like Tim did. Wrapping my identity in the same things. Being SO DAMN HARD on myself. I still struggle with this but learning to give myself more grace. I can't properly explain the feeling you get when you realize you can't out run your demons anymore. What sets off something inside you that says 'I don't feel right, I don't know how to fix it but I know it's time to.' All I know is what sets it off is different for everyone.
Tumblr media
For me it was the fact that I was set off by a kind comment. It was from a sweet lady who was a client of mine. Who commented on earrings my mother had gotten me. I hadn't thought much of it then she looked me in the eye with so much sincerity and said 'Your mother must love you very much.' That comment just hit me so hard. Triggered me. Cause some of my deepest seated trauma comes from my mom. I remember getting in my car and crying after. Texting my sister and telling her I thought it was time I got help. All I knew was something was wrong and it was clawing to the surface and I couldn't ignore it any longer.
That's Tim in this moment. Ray resurfacing was his demons coming up for air and not going away. This is his 'Come to Jesus.' moment about himself. Knowing what Dr. London was telling him today rang true. He just doesn't know to handle it and is reaching out for help to sort it out. Now He couldn’t gotten to this place without Lucy let’s not forget that. Tim wouldn't be in the place he is without her. BUT this is not Lucy's responsibility to fix. Nor should it be. As much as we love her being his person, this is Tim journey to go on.
Now my family/friends got me to place where I could see I needed help. Just like Lucy has for Tim. But it was up to me to take the first step. That's what this scene represents for him. His first step on his journey to healing himself. He knows he has work to do and I know he'll do it. He and I are alike and he will put his all into this. I'm excited the writers did what they did in this ep. Shows they're going to put the proper care into this SL. I can see a pathway way to their healing now and I feel like I can breathe for the first time in three weeks. I'm excited to see where the rest of the season goes for them both I really am. As always thank you for any likes, comments or reblogs I get for these they mean the world.
~~~
Side notes-non Chenford. Mostly lol
I like the idea of Celina moving in but she’s not wrong it would be an emotional minefield… but do love the idea of her living Lucy I don’t want her to be alone. Have one little win for her.
This was the song during that finale scene. Thank you D to finding the link above. it's Chenford Personified in this ep. Once again whoever is doing this songs. You need a damn raise this hurt so good. The lyrics were so Poignant and painful. These one were my fav. 'I miss you. I miss you. I’ll always forgive you."
She will forgive Tim because that's who Lucy is. One of the many reasons Tim fell in love with her. That never ending desire to trust people and forgive them. To see the best in them. She will look at the deeper meaning of his actions and help him past them once he gets there himself. He will have to earn that forgiveness of hers and I have no doubt he will.
This will be a process of that I have no doubt. It won't be quick or easy but my god it'll be worth it. They always are. I don't expect this to be resolved by seasons end but I do expect them to be on their way there by the finale. This is a beautiful growth journey they're about to embark on and I'm ready to go on it.

【2023 LAST】 I Wanted the Final Video to be a Conversation
Hello, this is Hikaru. Thank you for watching! This time, as this is the last video of 2023, I wanted to feel connected with everyone so I asked you submit questions and messages on Instagram. This is a video that answers your questions! Once again, it is a laid-back and casual video 🍀 I've answered all the questions except those that I can't answer on my own! The video ended up being over 50 minutes 😂 Please kill time during the New Year holidays 🙇‍♀️If you have any video suggestions, please leave them in the comment section📝
I loved this so here are some of my highlights┗(•ˇ_ˇ•)―→
What do you do to take care of your throat and vocal health? She always carries lozenges with her and uses a face mask all-year round
Do you take voice training lessons? From time to time, yes. But those lessons are extremely expensive so she can't afford them too often
Please share an episode with Keiko that left a lasting impression! Hikaru gets asked this question a couple of times but she doesn't really come up with any specific story or anecdote. She does however say that being able to perform together again has been really special this year. She also emphasises how Keiko is like a sister to her, a precious senpai/nakama she looks up to.
Any tips on how to distinguish Hikaru's voice from the other two in Kalafina songs with harmony? Hikaru can't really give any advice because for her, her own voice is obviously most noticeable. She asks all fans who listen to a lot of Kalafina to provide some suggestions in the comment section. [LOL, I am surprised there are still so many people who struggle with this]
Any fan messages that have left a lasting impression? Hikaru makes sure to read every letter, message and comment. They all mean a lot to her. But sometimes someone will tell her something along the lines of Hikaru's music having changed their life and of course Hikaru can't help but be incredibly moved by a sentiment like that.
Something she always pays attention to when singing? Never neglect your emotions, they should always shine through.
Are you in love right now? Hikaru obviously thinks that's a decidedly private question but kudos to her for even including it in the video. She wonders if anyone else aside from the person who sent the question would actually want to know about this. In her mind, the person is probably in the minority so she tells people to leave a comment if they really want to know about her love life. Also, she feels like no matter how she answers that question, people would start worrying about her and she would rather not have that happen.
How to take care of your physical health? Exercise to some extent, stick to a balanced diet with lots of protein, do a lot of strength training to build muscle.
Any overseas food that left a lasting impression? Not particularly but she enjoys trying local items at Starbucks or McDonald's whenever she is in another country
What's your ideal type? What stuff did you fight about in previous relationships? Another question about her love life but since it's not really about her current relationship status she tries to answer some of it. Her ideal type is someone who truly values their family and takes care of them. As for fights, Hikaru is a bit vague here on whether this refers to actual past romantic relationships or just all relationships in general but basically, she is not the type to have emotional outbursts or anything so she doesn't really "fight" with people. It depends on someone's definition of a fight though. For her that's everything that can't be resolved through a civil discussion and she personally never lets it get that far.
Will Hikaru do any anisong covers on her YouTube channel? Hikaru struggles with rights and licenses so it's hard to find songs she can sing on her channel but if she does, she will give it a try
What is your ambition for next year? Hold a solo live in a bigger venue.
What are your thoughts on Kalafina's current situation? Wakana, Keiko and herself are all pursuing a solo career so she would be happy if everyone listened to their music and continued to support them [very neutral but precious answer]
I love Keiko! What should I do? Hikaru is a bit baffled that she would get a question like that. She then goes off on a tangent about the difference between "ai" and "koi". The person asking the question is using the word "ai" to describe their love for Keiko but in Hikaru's opinion, "ai" is probably not the correct term here because if you are worrying about what the other person thinks of you and wonder how you should act, it's more likely a case of "koi" instead of "ai" (with "koi" being more frequently used for romantic love whereas "ai" usually refers to a more general concept of love). As for what that person should do, they should definitely support Keiko's activities.
Please share an interesting anecdote from Kaji.Fes? She thought it was special that she got the chance to change her outfit for the final song (into the world) even though ever performer was supposed to only have one outfit. Then, at the after party she was fortunate enough to be seated close to Yuki Kajiura on her table which is how she ended up drinking a bit of alcohol even though she never ever drinks. That was a fun experiences.
Will you be eating mucchan manju in Fukuoka? [This is a local snack in Fukuoka, Wakana has been doing a lot of promotion for it, it's that thingy she eat in Kalafina's 10th Anniversary Live] Hikaru hopes she has time to eat it

Something of your own
Pairing: Peter/Henry/001/Vecna x 000! Gn! reader
Word Count: 1,292
Warnings: Reader just turned 18 and has hair. Brenner is an ass but what else is new. Peter. That is all :)
Tumblr media
“Again.” Demanded the voice of Dr.Martin Brenner, the electricity courses through the veins of Zero once more. They were tired and couldn’t move anymore, a look of pure exhaustion on their face. Still, they channeled the electricity coming from the tasers the two guards prodded into their sides and inhaled deeply before opening their eyes and shooting the electricity forwards to the dummy. Their eyes glowing a dull hue of an icy blue, as they usually did when manipulating this particular element. Unlike their brothers and sisters, Zero was very special. Although they were not the first brought here, they certainly were there the longest. They had been there since infancy and now were very nearly 18. They were given Zero as their number because of how unique their capabilities were. They were capable of manipulating various elements, the fundamental and the unconventional. They could still use psychic abilities but not to the same extent as their siblings, only enough to get into the minds of a living being.
Dr.Brenner was particularly harsh on them, they were less obedient than the others and gave him a harder time as a result. They were still his favourite and the best in the lab according to him though.
“That’s enough training for today. Well done Zero.” They nodded, feeling drowsy, and were unhooked from the equipment immediately being taken away by the guards to be escorted to their room once more. Being the special one, being Brenner’s Zero, meant they were to be kept isolated. They had only seen two guards and Dr.Brenner, never interacting with anyone else. Maybe that would change on their birthday tomorrow. They wished so with all their might as they fell asleep right as their body met the bed.
The day was here. The day their weeks of obedience would hopefully pay off and Papa would let them finally meet their siblings as he refers to them. Once they were escorted by the same guards from the day before to the training area, they waited patiently for training to be over. “Papa,” They spoke as soon as they finished their training, this time manipulating glass into spiders (of which they were very fond of). He nodded for them to continue. “Can I see them today? It is my birthday and I would like to explore the lab, to see my siblings.” Dr.Brenner looked away for a moment, pinching the bridge of his nose while thinking. A minute passed and then two. Finally, he exhaled loudly before answering. “Just for today. If you keep up the good behaviour then perhaps I will consider letting you out more in the future.” At the positive response, the young one grinned widely and thanked him repeatedly as the guards guided them out of the room and down an unknown hall. They opened the double doors at the end to reveal a room full of games and toys, decorated with rainbows on the walls and most importantly with children, many of whom seemed younger than her. Everyone looked up at the entrance and stared in awe of the strange individual. Their hair was (h/l) and (h/c), an unusual sight considering none of the children had hair and they did. They looked down towards their socked feet, another unusual sight, as the guards left them in the room and closed the doors.
“Hello.” Greeted a smooth voice. They had only ever spoken to Brenner so they were not prepared to hear a voice so beautiful. Looking up, they met a tall and handsome stranger. He had blonde hair and icy blue eyes, like their own would be when they manipulated ice and not the same as electricity or lightning. They kept staring in awe and the man stared right back, never seeing someone quite as pretty as them.
“Are you new here?” He asked, they immediately shook their head no. At this, the man looked puzzled. The children had already gone back to their activities, losing interest when the handsome man approached her.
“My name is Peter,” He introduces. “And who are you?” They silently point towards the number on their arm, 000.
“Zero” He mutters under his breath, just barely loud enough for her to catch. “I didn’t know we had a 000.” He stated, clearly confused.
“Secret.” They stuttered quietly. Peter looked back towards their face and smiled gently at them.
“Well, you’re here now and that’s all that matters.” He says in a kind tone. They find themself smiling back and Peter just about melts at the sight.
“Here, let’s find something for you to do.” He takes them towards the drawing area and sits them down, the other activities occupied by the rest of the children. After sitting down, they spot a small glass ball, like a marble, sitting on the desk and pick it up. Holding it in one palm gently, they concentrate and use their other hand to mold the glass into what they knew best, a spider. More specifically, into the shape of a black widow. Peter watches in awe, not caring for the cameras and simply amazed by their powers. He now understood why they were a secret, they were capable of much more than their siblings. They were different from any others at the lab, even him. They finished the spider and handed it to Peter, evidently flustered.
“For me?” He asks breathlessly. They nod vigorously, looking away and pushing their hand forwards. The spider raised one of its many legs and seemingly waved at Peter. Chuckling under his breath, he took the spider and it crawled up his arm until stopping at his shoulder, snuggling into the collar of his dress shirt. He smiled widely at this, content with having the new company. Zero smiled too, glad to make Peter happy. They may only have just met him but they loved his smile and wanted to see it more already.
“Will I see you more often?” Peter asks, his voice quiet as Two passes by to grab something to play with. At the question, Zero shrugs. They didn’t know the answer to that question, although they wanted to see more of Peter. It all depended on Brenner’s mood and on their own obedience now. They were willing to be much more obedient now though, especially if it meant seeing Peter and spending time with him again.
Peter and Zero talked, or more so Peter asked questions as Zero answered to the best of their abilities even if their vocabulary was a bit limited and they kept stumbling and stuttering, not being used to speaking much. An idea struck Peter, one that would make Zero happy as they had made him when giving him the spider.
“Would you like a name, Zero?” He asked. Zero only blinked at him, they had a name. Do they need another one? Peter noticed this and explained that a name would be like having their very own identity.
“A name would separate your identity from the lab. You’ll have something of your own that cannot be corrupted by Brenner or anyone else.” He said. That was enough to convince them. Before they could continue their conversation and pick a name, the guards that brought Zero in came to get them. Right as they were about to reach the pair, Peter looked down at Zero and whispered “I’ll see you later, (y/n).” as he moved away and the guards took an arm each to take them away. To Peter it was clear that (y/n) was special and he thought them to be ethereal. Maybe, when he escaped he would take them with him. Maybe just maybe, they’d even help him execute his plan.

Christmas at the Cabin
Pairings: Dagger Squad x reader
Synopsis: the antics of when you spend Christmas in a cabin with the Dagger Squad
Merry Christmas Sophie @callsign-phoenix thank you for being such an amazing writer and an even more amazing friend. I know you’ve had a tough year too but thank you for being my rock. You are the Phoenix to my Bob. I hope you have a lush Christmas with your family. 🎄
Tumblr media
When Jake had first suggested going to a cabin for Christmas you had been skeptical. The whole Dagger Squad staying in a secluded cabin over Christmas leave, what could go wrong? Jake and Bradley had been bouncing off the walls ever since you had all started planning, the two of them like big, idiot kids. You’d looked online and found the perfect one, set high up in the mountains surrounded by snow and it even had a hot tub. You booked that back in July and now the holiday was finally here. You managed to pack everyone into two cars, you had gone with Natasha, Bob and Bradley while in the other car were Jake, Javy, Mickey, Reuben and Pete. You’re not sure how they all fitted into the same car with the luggage but you were just happy you’d managed to split Jake and Bradley up, otherwise it would be like riding with two Christmas elves all the way. Who knew two highly decorated Naval Aviators could be so mad on Christmas?
Natasha sighed as once again Bradley began playing with the radio, he couldn’t find the Christmas channel he wanted and it was driving everyone crazy. “Bradley, I swear to go if you touch that radio one more fucking time.” Natasha grabbed his hand and yanked it away from the dial.
“Hey, come on I nearly had it.” Bradley sulked as Nat gave him a stern look, the kind of look a mother gives their child when they have had enough. You looked over at Bob who looked like a small boy, watching his brother be told off. You squeezed his hand gently and he gave you a small smile. Bob was always scared of Nat’s temper but you had grown used to it over the years and knew that she was harmless.
Jake’s car was in front of you and had stopped at the traffic lights, you could see it swaying as he jumped around in the driver's seat.
“Should have gone in their car,” Bradley mumbled under his breath, wanting to voice his complaint but also not wanting Nat to be angry with us again.
The remainder of the car journey was quiet, occasionally you or Bob would point out some Christmas decorations or lights and as you reached the small town where the cabin was based, you could feel tensions rising. Admittedly you were also excited, you had never been away for Christmas and spending Christmas in a snowy mountain range sounded like something from a movie.
“WE’RE HERE!” Bradley shouted, excitedly undoing his window and hanging out of it.
“Bradley, I…” you tried to grab hold of him to stop him from falling out but he just brushed you off. You left him to it, watching as he stuck his tongue out trying to catch a snowflake. Once Nat had parked the car next to the cabin, you all bundled out into the snow. Bob helped you out of the car and gave you a little smile, always the gentleman. Bradley on the other hand had taken off running to see Jake and the pair of them started making snow angels.
“They’re just like children,” Nat sighed, as you helped her carry some of the luggage in. You had already picked your roommates and your rooms before you arrived, you were sharing with Nat and you were so glad.
“Imagine if we had to share with Bradley,” you groaned at the thought of the over-excitable ‘little boy’ you’d bought with you.
“Or Jake,” Nat moaned in response. You both laughed as you unpacked. While the boys were messing around outside in the snow, you and Nat had changed into your snuggly Christmas jumpers and were drinking hot cocoa.
You both made your way downstairs, chatting happily about your plans for the weekend when Bob popped out from around the corner. “Hello,” he said, taking a seat on one of the chairs around the large wooden island that stood in the kitchen. Bob was dressed in jeans, he had some large, fluffy slippers on his feet and one of the ugliest Christmas sweaters ever seen covering the upper half of his body.
“Bob, what the hell have you got on?” Nat teased, pocking at the green and red patterned jumper. It was very thick and looked rather itchy with stripes across it and little white snowmen.
“Oh, my Gran knitted it for me, she said it will keep me warm up for Christmas. She knits me one every year but she gave it to me early so I could use it for our trip.”
“I think it’s perfect, Bob. I wish I had one.” You smiled at him.
“I’ll let Gran know, she will add you to the list for next year.”
Just then Jake and Bradley stormed through the door covered in snow, closely followed by Mav, who looked like he’d had enough and wanted to hand his adopted kids back to their parents.
“YOU GUYS!” Jake exclaimed loudly, while stomping his snowy boots on the oak floor. “Come see our snowman.” He grabbed yours and Bob’s arm, while Bradley slung Nat over his shoulder, as she kicked and screamed in protest.
Once outside the cold air hit your face and you shivered, now regretting the decision to not grab your coat on the way out. The scene in front of you was something from a Christmas movie, there was a group of little snowmen, all decorated in hats and gloves and some with scarves.
“How did you guys have time to do all this?” Nat exclaimed, coming to stand beside you.
“It’s all of us!” Jake exclaimed, his face filled with pure joy. “Look. Look, this is Mav and that’s you and Nat. Umm, this one’s Bradley and I’m over there. Oh oh and there’s Bob.” Jake danced around the little snowmen.
“This one’s Javy and then there’s Ruben and Mickey.” Bradley finished Jake’s sentence.
“I’d like to say that I had no part in this,” Mav stepped forward to stand next to you, waving his hand at the scene in front of you.
“I think it’s quite impressive.” Bob smiled, he was glad to have been included and Jake and Bradley looked at each other, smiling knowingly. Despite all their teasing, they all did love Bob.
“I don’t know about the rest of you but I could kill for some Christmas biscuits right now,” Nat declared, turning on her heels and stomped through the snow back to the cabin.
“Guess that's our marching orders.” The group followed Nat back inside and spent the rest of the afternoon making a complete mess of the kitchen. Pete had dropped nearly the entire contents of the bowl on the floor, Nat had broken at least 3 eggs and Bob was covered in flour. Jake and Bradley had given up and sat with the others watching ‘Elf’ on the large tv in the living room. You sighed, watching your friends laughing jovially at the movie. It was so nice to see everyone so relaxed, without a care in the world.
The biscuits went down a treat but soon everyone was hungry again, Jake and Bradley volunteered to drive back into town for takeout. There was only one place in town, it was an Italian restaurant and you all agreed that was better than cooking.
Everyone went and freshened up, changing into matching Christmas-themed pyjamas and settling in the living room. Mickey and Javy were arguing over what Christmas film to watch when Nat stole the remote, beginning to flick through options. Jake and Bradley soon arrived with the pizzas and everyone tucked in. Nat selected ‘The Holiday’ and settled down on the sofa beside you and Pete and simply stated, “this is my favourite so that’s what we are watching.” The room was dead silent before everyone nodded in agreement and Nat put the film on. You had to admit that it was nice to be watching a rom-com for once, normally the guys would make you sit through some horror film so this made a pleasant change. As the evening drew to a close with the film finished and everyone stuffed full of pizza, you all decided to head to bed, having a busy day planned for tomorrow. Jake and Bradley had made an agenda that included a sleigh ride, ice skating and singing carols in the local town. You said goodnight to the others before heading up the wooden stairs, with Natasha and Bob in tow. When you reached the top, you sighed, stretching your arms and yawning. “I’m so tired.”
“Me too,” Bob yawned, covering his mouth with his pyjama-clad arm. He looked so sleepy, his hair ruffled and his glasses slightly wonky. Nat stood next to him looking just as tired, her hair scrunched into a messy bun and she yawned loudly.
“Well, I’m calling it a night. See ya in the morning, Floyd.” Nat shuffled down the hall to your shared room. You turned back to Bob smiling. “Night, Bob. See you tomorrow.”
“Night.” He waved before heading to his room.
Once you’d shut your door, you turned to find Nat already sprawled out across the bed, snoring lightly. You smiled at her, walking over to the window to pull the curtains. From your room you could see the small town in the distance, lights flickering and the moon casting a soft glow across the white landscape. You could feel the warmth spreading through you as you looked out onto the perfect scene. Yes maybe your friends were a little chaotic and the cabin currently looked like a bomb had gone off, but they were your family and you wouldn’t change them for the world.
You pulled the curtains closed. “This is going to be the best Christmas ever.”

Hiii Shanie! (is that what I should call you? 🤔) I'm the guest from ao3 that sent you that long ass comment 😆😅
Just wanted to start of by saying how extremely sweet it was of you to do this and also how much I appreciated you taking the time out not once but twice to write back! Tbh yes my dumbass did not realise what "noodle incident" meant till you explained it so thank you for that 😊 clearly I'm a bit new to all of this. 😅
Honestly I'm extremely late to the party. I discovered zowens only a little after they won their tag titles last year. I had no idea who they were before that. I took a break from wrestling for about 13 years and only got back into it by accident because of Sami, then Kevin, then zowens. I was switching channels and stubbled upon zowens who happened to be on screen at the time.
So I've had to go back and do a bit of digging and now and then I'll find something that everyone already knew about yearsss ago 🙄😂 and I'll get all excited over it, but everyone else has already been there done that 😂 (also absolutely no one I know likes wrestling or really even knows about it 😭)
I know I've missed out on a LOT with these two (their "glory days") 😭 and I get only glimpses of the past here and there, but I guess as they say better late than never 😁 So I'm enjoying your stories so so much. It's pretty incredible the way you write and the journey you take us on through it.
Ta
🐨
PS. the draft this week..zowens..😌
Hello again, nonnie! 
Glad you could make it! 
I was hoping to hear from you. This mess of business with AO3. Bleh. Hope they get it straightened out soon. 
First off, don’t feel bad for not knowing what “noodle incident” meant. I don’t know if a ton of people do these days. TV Tropes as a website has sort of fallen into obscurity in the past decade or so and that’s where I got the term from. Looking it up, the definition on the site (found HERE) apparently comes from Calvin and Hobbes. Of note: The way I use the term isn’t exactly correct because I have explained the pneumonia incident a little, and will do so in upcoming writing more, but I use the term improperly anyway because it makes sense to me. 
Regardless, stay tuned for more info about the pneumonia incident!  I will warn you though, the current story it’s being written into, “Never Say Goodbye”, is VERY dark. I’m probably going to have to up the rating on it. I use my writing as therapy and I’m going through some stuff right now, so this is how it is manifesting. Hope this doesn’t make you or anyone else hate me, but just know that writing it is helping me cope with my pain and getting me to a better place. 
So yeah. Forgive me. 
Second, don’t feel bad about just discovering Zowens in 2023. Some of the best people just discovered Zowens in 2023! I don’t know how much of last year you’ve managed to see but there is a fair amount of stuff just between summer of 2022 and fall of 2023 that is epic. If you haven’t gotten to explore it yet, I recommend starting HERE. It’s an episode of The KO Show from back in May of 2022 that planted the seeds of the entire Zowens storyline that would go on to them becoming tag champions. That said, as another video reference, that episode of the KO Show would actually be followed up on in August 2022 to properly start the storyline... in a post-show segment after Smackdown in Montreal. Finding video of that post-show segment can be difficult, but HERE is a fan video that has most of the encounter, minus the section that involved Matt Riddle (and the Zowens hug he spurs on) 
Really though, if I had to offer some key highlights, just in WWE, I’d recommend the last ten minutes or so of NXT’s R-Evolution PPV, their match at Battleground 2016 (DEFINITELY Key viewing), The very end of Hell In A Cell 2017 (and the Zowens segment from the next episode of Smackdown), the 10/31/2020 episode of Talking Smack, The leadup and immediate aftermath of their WrestleMania 37 match, the clips I linked above from May and August 2022, Royal Rumble 2023 main event (OMG THAT), and most of all, the ENTIRTY of the 3/17/23 episode of Smackdown which, telling you now, as a Zowens shipper was like a friggin fever dream the night it happened. Cannot understate how that was some Joker Origin Story stuff that night, but the payoff was AMAZING.  
All that said? Like Kevin said at WrestleMania 37. They met, at this point, almost 22 years ago, and the journey has been nuts. If you want a good, easy-to-absorb rundown of those 22 years or so, I highly recommend Mithen’s substack Ring the Bell. It has so much information that starts from the beginning and goes step by step along the path. They’re writing a book too! Keep an eye out for that. 
Anyway, it’s great to see you here and if you need any more tips about how to dig further into the story, let me know. I know you said “Their glory days” but the truth is, in their own words, they’re “Destined to do this forever” and the glory days aren’t over yet. The story has been going on for over 2 decades but it hasn’t ended yet and I don’t believe it ever will. The Sami and Kevin show, and by extension, The Kevin Steen and El Generico show, will never end. 
Over 20 years and counting.  Long live Zowens/Steenerico 
Enjoy the ride.

Special Bond || 4. Would you?
Paring: Paul Lost Boys x Original female character Emerson cousin!
Word Count: 1.6k
Warnings: none just cute interactions
Last: Not Scared | Next: Peer Pressure
Tumblr media
"Aunt Lucy." Katherine goes outside to see her and the boys. "Look at you, sweetie." Lucy hugs her. "Look at Mikey and a little Sammy." Kat smiles looking at them. "I can't even see the little Kat I once knew." Michael motions to her. "Back at you." She does the same. "Well, let's go settle in." Lucy smiles at the boys so Katherine helps them. "There's no tv. Have you seen a tv? I haven't seen a TV, Mike. You know what it means when there's no TV? No, MTV." Katherine walks into a room hearing Sam complain. "Sammy, we're flat broke." Michael does his weights. "There's a tv in my room. I bought myself one so you can watch MTV in there. I only keep it on that channel." Katherine puts an arm around Sam's shoulder. "There you can stop complaining about a tv now." Michael tells him as Kat goes back to helping her aunt bring everything into the house.
When the sun went down Lucy and the boys were gonna go to the boardwalk so she invited Katherine to go along. The boys split off from the girls as they walk around chatting about what Kat has been doing. "A lot of people go missing." Lucy looks at the board and Kat sees the Security Guard's wife put up his missing poster. "Yeah." She starts to feel bad since she knew what happened to him. Lucy goes over to help a little boy alone while Kat stares at the guys' flyer. She shakes her head going over to where Lucy went talking to the little boy but sees the boys walk into the store. "Aunt Lucy, maybe someone at my job has seen his mom." She tells her so they go inside. "Hello, Max. Thanks again for giving me the day off." Kat gives him a smile and the boys see her.
Before David could call her over Maria does, "I'm gonna tell Max to stop giving you days off." She playfully glares at her. "My Aunt just moved back with her two sons. That's why he gave me the day off." She explains. "We only come in here to watch one thing." Paul says as they walk past her and puts his arms around her shoulders. "I know." Maria laughs smiling at the two as he walks her off with them. "I told you not to come in here anymore." Max glares at David who smirks before heading out with the boys. "You coming?" Marko asks Kat as she stands behind.
"Aunt Lucy, can I go with my friends?" She asks her not noticing Max smile at the two. "Sure, honey. Be careful." Lucy tells her. "Bye, Max. Bye, Thorn." She pets the top of the dog's head then rushes outside getting on the back of Paul's bike. They stop at the carousel to hang out because Star and Laddie were supposed to meet them back here. "Your aunt seems nice." David speaks up looking over at her sitting on the railing leaning back into Paul standing behind her. "24/7." She looks over at him. "Where's your cousins?" Paul asks her. "Around somewhere. Hey Star, Laddie." She smiles as they show up. "Katherine." Star's straight face turns into a smile as soon as she sees her. "Kat." Laddie gives her their handshake as she jumps off the rail.
"You coming to the cave or staying because of your family?" Marko asks as Paul gets on his bike. "I'm gonna stay. Plus you guys still need to eat." She looks over to see Michael and Sam watching the group. "See y'all tomorrow." Katherine kisses everyone's cheeks then goes over to her cousins as they ride off. "You know the girl and the boys." Michael eyes her. "Yeah, they're my friends." She walks with Sam and sees the Vampire comic. "You've met the Frog Brothers, I see." She motions to the comic. "They're odd." Sam tells her. "Be prepared to hear all about vampires from them." She tells him.
Back at the house while everyone was downstairs, Katherine's window opens. "Paul." She looks over at him and he was smiling like an idiot. "Can I come in." He asks her. "I'm still not giving you an invitation." She laughs at him. "Rude." He goes through the window taking off his jacket before jumping onto her bed next to her. "Who was on the menu tonight?" Kat jokes making Paul laugh. "Greg and Shelly." He tells her. "Greg, I don't care about." She tells him so he goes giving details about the whole thing making her want him to shut up.
Getting fed up with his babbling, she leans over kissing him to shut him up. After about a minute of kissing him, she slowly pulled back to breathe, but he pulls her back and kisses her more roughly. After a while, Paul finally lets her go to breathe. Although they broke apart, they were still close enough for their noses to be touching. Neither of them said anything and just stared at each other for what felt like forever.
"You know, you talk too much." Kat speaks first making Paul pull away and laugh. "So you had to kiss me?" He touches her face. "It was the only thing I could think to do." She laughs. "Or did you just want to kiss me again?" Paul leans back in kissing her. "Kat!" Sam shouts getting closer to the room. "Come on, let's leave." Paul gets up. "I can't and I have work tomorrow." She tells him so Paul pouts.
As the bedroom door opens Sam looks around and Paul was out of sight. Nanook growls outside the room not going in. "Nanook, stop it." Sam tells the dog off. "Who were you talking to?" Sam asks her. "Was on the phone with a friend." She lies not knowing where Paul went. He didn't go far because his jacket was still in her room. "Dinner is ready." He leaves her room and Paul shows back up. "Fine, I'll leave." He puts his jacket on. "I didn't say you have to leave. I just can't leave. I'll eat fast then be right back." She goes downstairs to eat dinner.
Paul walks around her room messing with things and looks at her photos. Still having his human traits made things difficult with Katherine. Not only that but apparently she could be everyone's mate if she chooses to be. Paul didn't want to share her with the other three though. She was his soulmate he always dreamed of when he was a human. He wanted her to be one of them so they could be together forever. He wouldn't have to worry about something happening to her during the day because she would be safe with him in the cave. "Why do I still have to have these feelings?!" He shouts at himself in his head. "But they're the reason she even likes me." He lays down on her bed turning on the tv and watches MTV.
"Oh, Katherine dear. Max got me a job so I'll be working with you." Lucy tells her as they eat at the table. "That's nice of him. He's really nice. I used to work night but he moved me to during the day so I can be with friends at night." She explains to her Aunt. "The boys you left with?" Lucy smiles at her niece. "Yes, Ma'am." Katherine finished her food going to her room to see Paul passed out on her bed. "Paul, you can't sleep here and you know that." She goes to sit by him waking him up. "I can sleep in your closet." He gives her a smile. "You're not sleeping in my closet. You're going to go sleep in your cave."
"I'll leave once you fall asleep." He pulls her to lay down in his arms. She closes her eyes as he turns off the lights and tv. "Can I ask you a question?" He plays with her hair. "Huh?" She asks enjoying the feeling. "Would you ever become one of us?" He asks hoping to hear a good answer. "Truthfully... I'm thinking about it but I'm not exactly there yet." She says making him get excited. "Well, you know how bad we all would love it if you were. Even Star wants you to." He kisses the top of her head as she drifts off to sleep.
Back at the cave, Paul looks at the boys who were staring at him. "Katherine is thinking about becoming one of us but isn't ready yet. We're getting closer boys." He tells them what she told him. "You hear that Star." David looks over at her. "If anyone is going to talk her into fully doing it, it's Paul." Star looks at him. "Why Paul?" Marko laughs. "Because of their bond." Dwayne tells him. "But you said we all could be her mates." Marko looks at David making Paul roll his eyes. "If she wants yes because her bond to each of us is different. Paul and hers... it's stronger and will be even more if she becomes one of us. That's what I was told." David explains staring down Paul.
"And I know a quicker way to make her one of us." David stands up. "How?" Star asks. "Her cousin, who has his eyes set on you, Star. We get him to drink and become one of us, she'll follow." David gives her a smile. "How would that make her want to drink too?" Dwayne doesn't understand. "In the past, she told me she's not against it because she's alone once her grandpa is gone. Both of her parents killed themselves... If we turn the rest of her family she'll have another reason." Star speaks up. "So we know what to do."

Hi Lys! How are you? :) I wondered if it is possible to participate in your tarot game. I choose a personal reading.
Question: My question is regarding an old friend M, with whom I lost touch. I wondered if I could receive an unfiltered channeled message from them. M and I used to talk a lot, and now being strangers is a bittersweet feeling :)
Feedback: I really like all of your tarot readings but your pac about What you need to let go of, really moved me. I chose the 2nd pile which talked about being stuck because of fear and having certain attachments. It kind of made me realize that I’m scared to try new things by stepping out of my comfort zone. If I don’t try, I can’t expect a different outcome in my life :) I’ve been dealing with some sadness and lack of motivation lately so the reading gave me some light. You also gave advice to just focus on the present moment which brought me a new perspective, so truly thank you for that! your words have healing power :) I believe fear is a part of life, but it shouldn’t overpower me.
Two random emojis I’m sending you: 🤍🦋
Thank you for reading this! :))
Hello and thanks for joining! Thank you also for sending your accurate feedback. You're right, fear is part of our life but it all depends on how we deal with it and not letting it control us and oveerpower us is a good way to start living with it... which I think is what we are supposed to do. I do hope you can find first way to ease your mind and then move on and even try something different: it feels scary to leave a comfort zone for our mind, even if it's a place of pain, to move to something else, but give yourself time and the permission to even make mistakes while trying. It'll be fine! I also understand your situation with your friend, as it happened a lot to me too. Sometimes it's just how things are supposed to be: not everyone is meant to stay in our life forever and vice versa. It's okay to grow apart on different roads, even if at times it may hurt... let's see your message anyway:
Well ofc you think about M at times (you wouldn't be here if not ofc) and you may even wonder about their life and maybe thinking about checking on them. But it may also happen that something else comes in between and you block yourself and focus on that. TBH, it could also be them in this same situation. Not sure if something happened among you two but from the cards and the signs I am getting, it doesn't seem so: it feels something "natural" maybe cause of each of you having something to deal with and not having too much time to dedicate to your friendship. I am sensing more like of an internal issue/conflict or moving (something personal anyway), maybe related to healing something that blocked the connection or brought some kind of change which had you grow apart. I think it's a good time to stop this cycle and maybe, if you rather, connect back together. If you have a feeling, a sensation of reaching out, you can do that. I think it won't cause any bad reaction.
"Try to look at it from a different pov. This cycle has ended and we can possibly communicate again if you want. There's a lot you don't know! Remember you now have learned all you need, you know how to deal with much more and you're stronger than what your mind wants you to believe. i'm here if you want".
Ofc please be aware this is just a reading and the last decision is up to you, your own real life and your own sensations and feelings (which should always come first, so take time to realize if that could be a good thing or not for your life now, depending on however it would go). The feeling I get is that, even if things went wrong among you two after you contacted each other, you would be able to survive anyway (you've been without them already). But also, maybe you can move your friendship to a different stage now (like instead of talking daily, you can call/message every once in a while if it could work for both).
All the best in your life, take care!

update
hello, yoko here.
so some of you may noticed that i changed my username, you can still call me as yoko but once the revamping is started, you will no longer call me by that name. i want to seperate myself from that name that made me known on the smg4 fandom.
this is a very long explanation so its under the cut, and note to people on tumblr around: it contains controversal stuffs happening on glitch productions
this change is because of the smg4 controversy that happened recently, with the main one being taris old va (celeste notley-smith) being replaced by a new one. which is okay at first because celeste is a mother and a teacher and needs to focus on other stuffs and yadda yadda, until you found out that she fired from glitch after 6 years.
6.
FUCKING
YEARS.
now picture this: you are one of the first voice actor/actress from a recently new company, only to get replaced by a new one after years of voicing a character that you dearly love. the new tari va (lottie baurne) almost sounds like her old va and thats okay, but this situation is awful. not only that, robyn (smg2s former voice actress) is stepping down from glitch because of that. she recently made a video about this controversy on her channel "anime america", so please make sure to watch it.
yeah yeah i know jasmine yang (the voice director) made an apology, but that… is just not that good. sometimes we always forget things, but her apology? this is meh. im hoping to see celestes respond about her apology so the situation will be calm once again (like it was used to be… back in the early years). im also looking forward for the lerdwichagul brothers' responds as well.
and about the other controversy, we got glassdoor ratings about employee mismanagement coming from ex-workers, thanks to the ceo… aka kevin. i dont understand why kevin was hated by everyone back then, but it turns out that they are right. kevin is a completely different person with cameras OFF. that one scene from the episode "smg4… are you okay?" where smg4 tortures toads into manipulation by making videos for his channel became more obvious with this one. the good side is we havent heard about luke (smg4) yet.
on the other hand, i will probably start a career as a utau producer once i have speakers for my pc, dowloaded utau, and practiced how to use that software (hence the "prod" on my url). there is a chance that kikyuune aiko will be my main. smg4 stuffs will still be around, however you will see less smg4 stuffs here due to the controversy and the fact that this is a multifandom account aside from my likes. buuuuut that does not mean ill stop working on pandemic love distortion. (for those who didnt know about this one, its a wip smg34 fanfic made by me that was put on developmental hiatus due to irl stuff)
and for those who havent heard of it already, i will permanently post all my future arts to @blueberry-arts, but previous arts from my main will still be here and remain. so if you want new arts from mine go to my other account pls 🙏
soooooo i guess that will be all. thank you for reading.
signed, yoko. 🫐

Life Update
=> A new video has been uploaded to Velour's channel!
Tumblr media
[Transcription below]
Hello everyone, welcome back to another Velveteen Vanities Vlog. It's been a while, hasn't it? I apologise again for the radio silence, but if you've seen the statement I put out on Twitter and also on the community page here a couple weeks ago, you probably know that I've been on a mental health break for some time now. But, I thought now might be the time for me to keep you all updated on what's going on. Firstly, I'm here to tell you all that I am okay! This break has been doing wonders, as someone who has been working non-stop since I was around six sweep old, all this rest has been quite welcome! I've even picked up a new hobby, which is drawing more than just my fashion sketches. It's been difficult as I've never drawn so many faces and hands in my life [laughs], but! It is also very rewarding, and I highly recommend it to anyone who has wanted to start drawing to just pick up and pencil and have a go! It doesn't matter if your first attempt is not perfect, as every new sketch is a new learning experience! Secondly - and probably what you have all been waiting for the most, - I do have to say that at the moment I will be continuing my hiatus for the most part, but I do plan to slowly working myself towards a proper schedule again. This was also at the behest of the professional I have been consulting with, who thinks this is the best course of action. And I agree! Sometimes it is better to dip your toes in the water first, rather than jumping straight into the pool and discovering that it's incredibly chilly! So, you may see the occasional video from me for time to time, but at the moment there will be no set schedule. I hope you guys are looking forward to my return, and I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things once more! Slowly, of course. Thirdly, and following on from the last point, while I still will not be making any public appearances or interviews for the time being, I will be reopening my custom outfit commissions soon! I will be taking on a smaller workload than usual, but just like my videos, I do plan on easing myself back into a more consistent work schedule. I will be putting an interest check up on my website shortly, as well as readjusting my prices and terms of service. Finally, I have one more special surprise to tell everyone... Which is, well... I have a moirail now! Yes, you guys might not have seen it coming, and we weren't sure the best way to announce it, so... Consider this a soft introduction? We're still working out on if my partner would like to make a public appearance on the channel, or if he would prefer to stay out of the spotlight, but! Whatever decision he makes, please do show your utmost respect for his wishes. It's been wonderful having him by my side during my hiatus and I cannot express how grateful I am for him with words alone. He's a real darling, and I do hope you continue to support me and my new relationship for the future. And, well... That's all for tonight! Thank you again for listening and continuing to support me during my hiatus, and I look forward to seeing you all again in my next video, whenever that may be! Have a great night everyone, this is Velour, signing off!

Hi I was just wondering if I could request a one shot of a 18 year old named Jamie the sister of Joe Keery who also plays Chloe Harrington Steve’s sister and during the Billy and Steve fight scene from S2 Jamie is holding the kids back while everyone is screaming their lines she gets hit with this overwhelming feeling of dizziness & nausea from exhaustion of filming all day. She quickly shakily grabs onto something to keep her balance & grabs the attention of the crew the duffers yell cut & walk up asking if she’s ok while Dacre & Joe stand beside her. When she says she feels faint & stumbles both boys careful grab her & lead her to a couch on set the duffers call medics to check her over as Joe tries to keep her talking & alert not to faint as well as the duffers doing the same but very little leading to Joe taking care of her the rest of the day.
If you can’t I completely understand have a great day
Hello, love! Thank you for sending this in, this was such a sweet picture sou painted with that in my head, and while I'm not one for real life ships, THIS is some platonic friendship and siblings, so I tried my hands at it and hope this came out alright. I really enjoy writing sibling relationships as it seems (and mix in a little good friend Dacre here). So, I hope you enjoy this little piece 💚
Requests are open | prompt lists for inspiration | Stranger Things Masterlist
Pairing: NONE, but big brother Joe, platonic friend Dacre Word count: 2387 Warning/Tags: mentions over undereating, but no eating disorder, nausea, dizziness, fake blood (let me know if I missed anything
---
Working on a show like Stranger Things had been a completely new experience for Jamie, especially because she was playing alongside her brother Joe. In the show, they were playing siblings, just like in real life, so the friendly banter that happened on screen was something they were doing from experience. There had always been little fights as well, but in the end, they had a wonderful relationship, could always count on each other. Something the Duffer brothers had picked up on and had allowed them to show on screen as well. Where there was Joe, there was Jamie as well most of the time.
So, it was no wonder that she appeared in the fight scene between him and Dacre as well, taking over the job to keep an eye out for the kids. It had been a long day already, starting at four in the morning, but they wanted to finish filming that scene before they wrapped up for the day. Jamie felt the exhaustion in her bones, not having slept at all last night, hence being awake for way too long already without taking a break. She’d skipped lunch, because she hadn’t felt hungry, but by now, she was feeling how much that was wearing her down. It was just one more scene, she told herself, she could do that.
They got on their marks, Jamie among the kids waiting for Dacre to come through the door to start the scene. She swallowed hard, bit back the nausea that was threatening to pull her under, but she could do it. It wasn’t the first time, she was exhausted at work and was able to pull through, right?
Action!
Dacre barged in and delivered his lines before he went at Caleb. Jamie did her part and held the other ones back, trying to protect them from Billy, and Lucas was able to fend him off. Enter Steve, her brother who took up the role of protector in this scene once again. He landed his first punch, giving Caleb the opportunity to get back to the others and behind Jamie.
“I’ve been waiting to meet this King Steve everybody’s been telling me so much about,” Dacre spewed his words at Joe, channelling Billy perfectly. If Jamie hadn’t known that they were filming, she’d definitely be scared of him, but she knew what a sweet soul Dacre was.
“Get out!” Just like they’d talked about, Joe spoke his words before Dacre swung at him. While they were fighting, crashing plates in the process, Jamie held her hands in front of the kids, keeping them back, hearing them yell their lines, when all of a sudden their voices sounded dull, like they were getting further and further away from her. She closed her eyes to shake off that feeling, but when she opened them again, the whole room started to spin, making her feel nauseous. Her knees felt weak, and she grabbed hold of the cupboard next to her to not crumble to the floor. Oh, this was bad, really bad.
Gaten’s eyes were on her, checking if she was alright, if this was part of the scene, something he’d missed out on or something they’d added without the rest of them not knowing. When Joe catches a glimpse of her, though, he doesn’t waste a second to get to his sister. The crew eventually realised what was going on.
“Cut!” could be heard throughout the set and everything stilled
Jamie could feel her brother’s presence beside her, someone else on the other side, gently grabbing hold of her elbow to stabilise her.
“Are you okay?” she heard someone ask, not sure who it was, because she’d closed her eyes again, trying to fight the dizziness.
“I… feel a little faint,” she whispered, wrapping her hand around Joe’s arm, because it was something, someone familiar.
“Come on, just a couple of steps.” Another familiar voice said, the one holding onto her elbow, and when she blinked her eyes open, she saw that it was Dacre, helping her to the nearest couch together with Joe.
“Can we get a medic in here?”
The commotion surrounding her made Jamie close her eyes again. She felt a little better as soon as she was seated and didn’t have to stand anymore, didn’t have to rely on her legs holding her up.
“How are you feeling?” Joe asked, taking her hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze to keep her focus. “And don’t lie to me, ‘cause you know that I detect when you’re lying to me.” 
She could hear the smile in his voice, trying to lighten the mood. Being the centre of attention because of something like this wasn’t doing Jamie any good, she’d much rather be somewhere else, somewhere more private, but she knew that she wouldn’t be able to walk over to her trailer right now.
“I thought I could pull through, you know?” she said quietly, eyes drifting shut again.
“No, no, no, don’t close your eyes. Look at me please!” Joe tilted her head upwards waiting for her to open her eyes again, and she did, making him smile in turn. “Good. You should have said something, Jamie. We could have rearranged something.”
“It was okay… and all of a sudden…” She shrugged her shoulders, earning her a squeeze of the hand Dacre was holding right now, sitting on the other side of her.
“It’s alright,” Dacre said, reassuring her, a smile on his face that stood in stark contrast to the fake blood from the fight between his character and Joe’s.
“I’m still sorry.”
“Stop apologising, okay? It’s no big deal. It could have happened to any of us.” Dacre ran his thumb over the back of her hand to reassure her, and it really slowed down her breathing a little.
When the medics arrived, Joe and Dacre gave them some room, but Joe stepped behind the sofa to put his hand on her shoulder, show her that he was there, and wouldn't go anywhere. The Duffer brothers stayed with them as well, while they dismissed everyone else. It wasn’t good to have everyone crowding in around Jamie, suffocating her. They were just worried about her friend, but right now, the less people, the better for her.
The medics took their time checking her vitals, asking her questions, and she already knew that this was mostly her own fault, so she bit her bottom lip after confessing about skipping dinner.
“Alright, she needs lots of rest starting now, something to eat and lots of water.”
Joe nodded his head immediately.
“I’ll take care of her.”
“We’ve wrapped it up anyway. And we don’t want to see you on set until you really feel better, okay?”
“Yeah… sorry about all this.” Jamie looked up at them with an apologetic smile, but nobody was angry at her like she’d feared. All of them had just been worried, and were glad that it was nothing serious.
“I’ll help you get her to the trailer,” Dacre offered, helping Joe get Jamie up off the sofa.
“You really don’t need to do that. I can walk by myself.” Jamie tried to protest, but the slight wobble in her step betrayed her words.
“Sure you can.” Joe rolled his eyes, gathering her things, while Dacre decided that there was an even better way to get her to her trailer.
“Wrap your arms around my neck and hold on tight,” he ordered her before lifting her up.
“Are you crazy! I’m way too heavy for you to be carrying me.”
“Actually, you’re not. And now, just hold on tight. That’ll make it easier.”
Joe just grinned to himself, watching the two, seeing the pout on Jamie’s lips slowly disappear, only to be replaced with a shy smile. She knew that she’d lost this battle, and should rather comply than start an argument that she was sure to lose.
Joe led the way to her trailer and opened the door, so that Dacre could carry her inside. He carefully put her down on the sofa.
“Thank you.” Jamie slowly looked up at both guys. “Really, I appreciate everything you’ve done.”
“You don’t think I’m gonna leave you all alone, do you?” Joe plopped down next to her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. “I’ll make sure that you follow the doctor’s orders!”
“And I’ll get you something to eat,” Dacre offered, and before Jamie could protest, he was out the door again.
“You really don’t have to stay here, Joe.”
“But I want to. Granted, I should probably take a shower, and so should you, but only after you've had something to eat.” He leaned over to press a kiss to her temple before he straightened again.
“God, I feel so awful about all this.” Jamie buried her face in her hands, trying to calm her breathing again. Now that they were alone, she thought about what had happened, how this had played out.
“Hey, hey, hey, stop that.” Joe reached for his sister’s hands, gently pulled them away from her face. “Things like that can happen, okay? No need to worry. Everyone was more concerned about your well-being anyway instead of anything else. Because they all care about you. Okay? We can keep filming tomorrow.”
“I…” she stuttered, taking a deep breath. She knew that he was right, she’d felt it in the way everyone had reacted, and so she was able to smile again. “Right. You’re right.”
“Good. You won’t get rid of me today. Well, just for a moment to take a shower, but apart from that, I’ll keep you company and make sure you get enough sleep.” Even if that meant that he had to sleep on the sofa, he would NOT leave her side tonight.
Dacre came back shortly after he’d left with steaming food for all three of them, an extra big portion for Jamie. While Joe gobbled down his dinner, the other two took their time.
“I’ll just take a quick shower and then I’ll be back, alright?” he asked, looking at Dacre and Jamie.
“Sure, I’ll keep her company,” Dacre answered with a grin, making Joe leave without having to worry about you.
“I can stay alone, you know? You’ve already done enough with getting food for us.”
“Nonsense. You’re not supposed to be alone right now, and I actually like spending time in your presence. So don’t worry about it, ‘kay?” Dacre gave her another smile, before he concentrated and the rest of his food. He hadn’t had time to get changed or shower, but he’d at least wiped the fake blood from his face, so he felt a little bit more like himself, even if he was still wearing the wig.
“Thank you,” Jamie said, a sincere smile on her lips.
“No problem.” Dacre watched her for a moment. “You really scared us there for a moment.”
“I know, and that wasn’t my intention.”
“I know that. Just… you need to listen to your body, to what you need, and if that means taking a break, so be it. Or do you need someone to remind you that you need to eat, even if you don’t feel like it?” It was an offer, and while she knew she could talk to her brother about this, make him remind her to get some food, it was nice to have someone else do that for a change.
“I think that might be a good idea.”
“Good, then I’ll do that, and maybe shove some food your way whenever I get something for myself.” Dacre chuckled, already having that plan in his head, because he wanted the people around him to feel good, to be safe, and if that meant taking care that you ate enough throughout the day, he was happy to take that upon himself.
They ate the rest of their meal together, chatting about this and that until Joe came back from his shower.
“You feeling better?” he asked, taking his seat again, looking her over, but he was already relieved to see the colour returning to her face.
“Yeah, definitely. Thank you!” She looked between the two men in her trailer, a smile on her lips.
“Good! Now, you’ll need lots of rest, so I’ll leave the two of you alone and hop in the shower.”
“Thanks Dacre!” Joe spoke up, grinning at his friend. While they were enemies on screen, they’d grown quite close off screen.
“Anytime!” With that, he was out of the door, leaving Jamie and Joe alone.
“And you’re gonna take a shower, leave the door unlocked, and then we can watch a movie or whatever, alright?”
“Can we watch Digimon Adventure?” she asked, giving him her best puppy eyes. A wave of nostalgia hit Joe, but he chuckled. They used to watch it when they were younger all the time.
“Sure thing. Now get a move on, before I shove you in there. You stink.” He got up to clean the plates, a grin plastered on his lips.“I do not!” Jamie gasped, clutching a hand to her chest, before she got up and hugged her brother from behind, held him like that for a moment, before she grabbed a fresh set of clothes and vanished into the bathroom. Joe looked after her, shaking his head. He’d been worried sick about her, but now he was able to calm down a bit. He wasn’t only the protective Steve Harrington in the series, a part of that was all him as well, because he couldn’t not take care of the people he loved. And so he waited for his sister to get out of the shower so that he could tuck her in and watch her favourite series with her until she drifted off to sleep. Much needed sleep at that! All the trouble was forgotten the next morning, when she could start over fresh - and since then, Dacre always had some food for her, even if it was just a chocolate bar.

24 / 7 with you.
Tumblr media
⸻ sitting in front of what he would usually use as his vlog-slash-ghost-hunting camera, jinhae reaches over to press the record button, waiting for the red light to turn on. once he gets the signal, he gives the camera a wave and a small smile, " hello, this video is for yang jongho and him only. i'll be uploading it to my youtube channel for everyone to see though. because . . as much as he hates attention, i think everyone deserves to know how much of an impact he's made on my whole life. " looking at himself in the viewfinder, jinhae couldn't help but burst out laughing at how serious he looked. " ah, this looks like an apology video -- but i'm telling you all right now, it's not. i didn't do anything problematic, or, least i think i didn't. i'm just here to talk about my boyfriend, and to show my appreciation to him. my handwriting is shit, so i thought a video letter would be better. "
now that his little introduction was done, the soccer player takes a deep breath, " jongho ya, if you're watching this right now, first off, hello. i hope you're comfortable wherever you're watching this from. " breaking out a bigger smile, he briefly looks over at his phone on the table, " it is now, august 22nd, 2:33am, and i stepped away from the room just so i could record this. you're asleep right now, and -- as always, i didn't want to wake the baby angel cherub sleeping beside me. you look so at peace when you're asleep and i know the both of us struggle with sleep so i would never want to take away even one second of your sleep from you. " lacing his fingers together, he rests his hands over his stomach and leans back on the chair comfortably, " to be honest, i don't know where i should even start. i feel like, even though we've been officially dating for just a month, we've gone through so much already. " thoughts of him and his journey to win jongho's heart start playing in his head like an old movie in his head, causing him to smile once again.
" to start off, i wanted to say thank you. for . . quite literally everything you do for me. if i could describe it, you added color to my life. for the longest time, it felt like i was in some sort of black and white movie. but when you came in, everything changed. i can't even quantify how much my life has changed since we started dating. " now leaning over the table with both elbows to come closer to the camera, he continues on, " but you didn't just turn my whole life around for the better -- even i myself, i know that i've changed internally. you and your love changed me. i started to look forward to every single morning. rather than living life aimlessly with no real goals or ambitions, i even started to envision and look forward the future. " jinhae clears his throat, lips twitching into a small smile, " a future with you in it. no matter how much i tried to look at things, i really couldn't imagine living out the rest of my days without you - and really, that's when i knew that you were different. see, i've met a lot of people in my life, seen a lot of faces, even spent intimate moments with others . . but nothing else has come close to the feeling you give me. with you, i'm home. you are my home. " sincere words continue to pour out of him, " no one else makes me feel loved and adored the way you do. when i look into those eyes, those beautiful, wonderful eyes, i can feel your heart. without even saying anything, i can feel your love. . right. . here. " he pokes at the left side of his chest, looking down momentarily before gazing up at the camera, heartfelt eyes staring into the camera lens.
" do you remember our conversation about my dream ? when i told you that i had the recurring scene in my head of you lying on the snow and me rushing to you ? it's weird to say out loud, but i really feel as if this happened. i do fully believe that we've met so many times in our past lives. " a solemn nod follows, " do you think we loved each other in those lifetimes too ? i would like to think so. there's no other explanation for why we're so drawn to each other like this. " his hand brushes through his thick hair, tilting his head, tongue swiping over his lips to wet them, " and, i hope you don't mind but -- i'd like to think that even in the lifetimes to follow, i will still be loving you. doesn't matter if you don't love me back, i know my heart will always, always scream your name. i feel it, jongho ya. and i know you feel it too. " he raises his hand, pointing to his empty ring finger, reciting a quote he memorized before, " this magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. " jinhae didn't really need to give much context, as he already knew that jongho could clearly catch onto what he was talking about. it was fate. they were fated to be together, and the both of them knew that.
right on cue, as he was about to wrap up, he heard some rustling coming from the other room, " ah, i think you're awake so -- i gotta wrap this up. hmm, let me think about how to wrap this up nicely. " tucking his lower lip under his upper tier, he puffs out his cheeks in thought, organizing his thoughts, " just know. whatever the future holds for us - whether good or bad, i will always be here for you. i don't care what kind of role i will play in your life, as long as i'm in it. i will always be your rock, your knight-in-shining armor for when you need it, i will keep you safe. and i will make damn sure that you feel loved every fucking day because it's what you deserve, yang jongho, that, and so much more. " jinhae wasn't much of a crier, but one could clearly see the tears welling in his eyes as he smiles, showing off the smile that he knew jongho loved, baring his whole set of teeth, " okay, i gotta go. bye, future jongho ! i have to go give past jongho some kisses now. " he then starts waving at the camera, his smile staying in place, " i love you. " and with that, he presses the end record button, effectively cutting the video.

(Telling what just happened to me in The Intruder in Roblox in a storytelling way because why not lmao)
The Intruder.
I joined for the first time, curious of what its about. I had no clue at all. I just joined because of a friend on Roblox. It seemed like it was a horror game? Maybe I'll see...
But I was lagging a lot. My friend's friends thought it's funny. I thought it's funny. It's interesting. Their avatars, well, they barely loaded. Mostly, they were grey. My clothes were grey. To them, my walking was laggy and my messages were sent after many, many seconds. Their messages didn't come early too. The game lagged a lot. Literally.
The house, channel three.
I was stuck. I was somehow stuck in channel three. The countdown wasn't even working. Now, everything was more hilarious and everyone thought so too. I thought I can just reset later.
You can't reset in the game.
I was confused, flabbergasted and amused. They gave me suggestions what I could do instead, leave the game or crash it. But no, I didn't want to, honestly. The room was... plain but interesting. Without the game effects or whatever, it looked normal. We were laughing, yeah, eventually they left to play the game.
Well, someone stayed. We just chatted and then they left after they came back and found that, yes, I'm still here. It had been 50 minutes. They were shocked. Honestly, I didn't realise that much time passed. I named "the lag" William, eventually.
They hated William. I liked William. It was silly, funny and interesting... At least to me. They eventually left to play the next game, I was alone again. I started to talk to myself, to the walls. I named those walls. The one to the right of the entrance or door or whatever, was Junior. The middle one was Ton and the one to the left was Quason.
They came back, shocked yet again, small conversation and left. It had been an hour and... 10 minutes? 20? I forgot, honestly. And then, I found out that there was some kind of ceiling light. I thought it looks like god's cloud, at first. Still do, by the way. For fun, I started repeating the Spotify ad's words.
"Wanna break from the ads? Watch this..."
Over and over again. But the people got annoyed of the spamming and told me to shut up, which so I did. I stayed quiet.
They came back, shocked once more. Well, I instantly repeated the Spotify ad's words because why not? They thought it was funny. This time, they joined the channel three and they got teleported. Not me though, I'm stuck here with William, Junior, Ton and Quason. Actually, I named the ceiling light. Godsie. And also the door, Silly. Because it was the entrance to this sillyness.
They cane back, yet again. An hour and 40 minutes, perhaps? That was how long it had been since I got stuck in there.... And they were shocked yet again and asked if I'm alright or were laughing because of how silly and amusing the situation was. They said I should just, leave, but I didn't want to leave my friends. William, Junior, Ton, Quason, Godsie and Silly. And so, they left again.
In all honesty, I sometimes felt bored or just nothing. Two hours. That's a lot... of time, in one room, I thought. I am sane, definitely.
And then... I chose to finally leave. I said my goodbyes and slowly went to the leave button. My mouse hovered over it for some time, before I clicked it.
Hello, thank you for reading! Damn, this was funny 💀. I have some goofy screenshots btw:

Hello my dear !!! 🌷
I'm here to drop my feedback for the lovely reading and moodboard you made for me !! 💕the reading resonated STRONGLY, thank you si much for it😘💕, everything was really soo beautiful ❤️ your letter, the reading and the moodboard. I'm really glad I picked your vibe right honestly🥰 but I can't deny that your aesthetic gave me some clues of you being a nature lover 🪻💕🌷 and I 100% get the fact to not try appearing too romantic I so the same ngl 😭 . Now about the reading, well, it made me soo happy reading it,😁 when I was reading it ( and re-reading 😍 ) It made me think of what americans call "golden retriever energy" i think ? and you channelled a beautiful labrador also in the moodboard 🤩 Ive always loved people with their heart on their sleeves and him being intelligent also is a huuuggge plus in my book 🥰, gentleness, kindness 🙏 I just can't wait to meet him, 🤗 the sunflower in sunglasses made me laugh too, I really really loved the mood/vibes of the moodboard💓 now ill keep coming back to this reading when I'll need something to cheer me up ! Im really grateful for your kindness 💓 for organizing this game 🌿 for your time and energy 💫again thank you soo much !! 💙
Tumblr media
Hello my dear, I am so very happy that the reading resonated so strongly, it makes me feel so very fulfilled when my gifts are able to be used to bring joy and knowledge to others! The fact my reading will cheer you up warms my heart so much!
I am also glad that you enjoyed all the work I've put into your reading, as I do with everyone's of course! I find spirit channels best through me when I put in the form of a letter but I do very much enjoy letter writing so perhaps that is why. It matches in with my aesthetic so it was always meant to be that way. That I am sure of.
I suppose I am a bit of an open book when it concerns what I love such as nature but that's good, one shouldn't feel they have to hide away their likes or dislikes, it's best to be authentically you!
I'm sure you and your destined one will be so happy together, I wish you luck and love once again.
-Fae ⚘
