hi! how would Valeria and Kate react if their wife’s got hurt because of their work, both of them working highly jobs and it ended up catching up to their s/o. hoe you are doing well and drink plenty of water! thank you!
-🍒
Hello! Both of them would be absolutely distraught, but would go about it in different ways!
Valeria’s and Laswell’s Wife Gets Hurt Because of their Job
Valeria: Whoever hurt you will wind up tortured and eventually, once she thinks they’ve had enough of their miserable life, will wind up dead. Naturally, the first thing she does is check up on you, see if you’re alright and well, that’s her priority. You’re the love of her life, there’s no one else in this world she wants to see do well. You’ll be admitted to the best hospital nearby and will only get the finest treatment. Once you’re stabilized, that’s when the hunt begins. Whoever hurt you won’t get too far since that bastard’s life will be on the line. Regardless of where they might be hiding, Valeria will find them and show them that death is actually a kind of mercy. She has pretty much everything at her disposal, everything money can buy, this sucker won’t know what hit them. If it’s revenge they want, then revenge they’ll get. Valeria promises you that their head will be on a silver plate. She’s not very good with words when it comes to comforting someone, but she will have that person killed in the most cruel ways she can imagine. In fact, she’ll take the pleasure of torturing them upon herself. Once she’s done, she’ll take some days off, which is surprising since she usually can’t afford that at all. You’ll be under her direct care for those days. Anything you want you’ll get. Afterwards there will be a slight shift in her demeanor, Valeria becomes more protective over you. Sometimes she might even assign some trusted people of hers to watch over you since she can’t afford something like that happening again. While she can’t always take some days off, she’ll try to be closer to you anyway. Always texting you, finding excuses to come home for a day maybe. She just really needs to make sure you’re okay, she wouldn’t know what to do with herself if you died.
Laswell: Laswell will try to be a bit more diplomatic about it at first, trying to coax whoever hurt you out of hiding. This person will be held accountable for their crimes against her world. Naturally, she rescues you first, gets you to the nearest hospital and won’t leave your side until you’re stable again. If it takes you a while to wake up again, she’ll leave to find the fucker and make sure they swim with the fishes. She has a pretty large, efficient network and will find out who it was fairly easily. Once she knows who they are, she won’t hesitate to find out all their past crimes as well, if they hurt you then they must have done some other awful things as well. Once that phase is over, she’ll go to their home herself and have them arrested, put in the worst prison imaginable where the inmates are treated especially badly. She won’t kill them, but she wouldn’t be surprised if they wind up dead anyway. Laswell usually isn’t an evil person, but she does hope that person dies during their time. Their sentence will be as long as possible so there’s no chance of them ever seeing the sunlight again either. Once all of this is over, she, too, would take some days off to spend with you. You’re a priority above all else, so Laswell will want to be there for you, no matter the cost. While she usually isn’t, depending on how severely you got hurt she might become a bit overbearing, a bit overprotective. That overprotectiveness will last for a few months, afterwards she’ll try to give you some space again. However, she’ll always be keeping a closer eye on you, always texting or calling you every once in a while to make sure you’re okay. If she needs to, she’ll put you under her protection officially, but the situation needs to be dire for that to happen. Either way, she’ll be keeping you safe.

she's three years younger than i am, and i put on cascada as a throwback, cackling - before your time! i've been borrowing my brother's car, and it's older than dirt, so the trunk is like, maybe permanently locked. when the sun comes through the window to frame her cheekbones, i feel like i'm 16 again. i shake when i'm kissing her, worried i won't get it right.
in 2003, my state made gay marriage legal. where she grew up, it wasn't legal until 11 years later - 10 years ago. if legal protections for gay marriage were a person, that person would be entering 5th grade. online, a white gay man calls the fight for legal marriage boring, which isn't kind of him but it is a common enough opinion.
it has only been 9 years since gay marriage was nationally official. it is already boring to have gay people in your tv. it is already boring to mention being gay - "why make it your entire personality?" i know siblings that have a larger age gap than the amount of time it's been legally protected. i recently saw a grown man record himself crying about how evil gay people are. he was begging us, red in the face - just do better.
i am absolutely ruined any time my girlfriend talks about being 27 (i know!! a child!), but we actually attended undergrad at the same time since i had taken off time to work between high school and college. while walking through the city, we drop our hands, try not to look too often at each other. the other day i went to an open mic in a basement. the headlining comedian said being lesbian isn't interesting, but i am a lesbian, if you care. as a joke, she had any lesbian raise their hand if present. i raised mine, weirdly embarrassed at being the single hand in a sea of other faces. she had everyone give me a round of applause. i felt something between pride and also throwing up.
sometimes one thing is also another thing. i keep thinking about my uncle. he died in the hospital without his husband of 35 years - they were not legally wed, so his husband could not enter. this sounds like it should be from 1950. it happened in 2007. harassment and abuse and financial hardship still follow any person who is trying to get married while disabled. marriage equality isn't really equal yet.
and i don't know that i can ever put a name to what i'm experiencing. sometimes it just feels... so odd to watch the balance. people are fundamentally uninterested in your identity, but also - like, there's a whole fucking bastion of rabid men and women who want to kill you. your friends roll their eyes you're gay we get it and that is funny but like. when you asked your father do you still love me? he just said go to your room. you haven't told your grandmother. disney is on their 390th "first" gay representation, but also cancelled owl house and censored the fuck out of gravity falls. you actively got bullied for being gay, but your advisor told you to find a different gimmick for your college essay - everyone says they're gay these days.
once while you were having a hard day you cried about the fact that the reason our story is so fucking boring to so many people is that it is so similar. that it is rare for one of us to just, like, have a good experience across the board. that our stories often have very parallel bends - the dehumanization, the trauma, the trouble with trusting again. these become rote instead of disgusting. how bad could it be if it is happening to so many people?
i kiss my girlfriend when nobody is looking. i like her jawline and how her hands splay when she's making a joke. there is nothing new about this story, sappho. i love her like opening up the sun. like folding peace between the layers of my life, a buttercream of euphoria, freckles and laughter and wonder.
my dad knows about her. i've been out to him since i was 18 - roughly four years before the supreme court would protect us. the other day he flipped down the sun visor while driving me to the eye doctor. "you need to accept that your body was made for a husband. you want to be a mother because you were made for men, not women." he wants me to date my old high school boyfriend. i gagged about it, and he shook his head. he said - "don't be so dramatic. you can get used to anything."
the other day a straight friend of mine snorted down her nose about it, accidentally echoing him - she said there are bigger problems in this world than planning a wedding.

Sugarbaby vibes ✨️
I walked out of the fitting room wearing the shit Chanel set. Let's be honest I looked to fucking die for, but once I saw the price it looked mid. Of course I wanted it and speaking of price it's Chanel what did I expect. If anything I suggested, let's go thrifting, as you can tell I didn't grow up with money. I'm still trying to get used to living this life now, it's crazy hoe just last week I was struggling to afford a pack of fucking Ramen at the convenience store and now I live in a penthouse. Your girl did, in fact, come up in life. You all better be proud. All thanks to the one and only Bada Lee.
Bada is about 28, and I'm 22, so there is a slight age gap if you care about any of that. Shit I didn't. I just needed someone to pay my bills. How we met it quite an interesting story if you think about it, I mean, I didn't sign up for a sugar mama like on the weird ass movies or stories you see on Wattpad. I was, in fact, working as a waiter in this high-end restaurant with might I add a shitty pay. Why are we serving all this expensive ass shit and in only getting made a few bucks in an hour? It's giving slavery, and not mentions my boss who, like most men, convince himself within the 3 minutes of hiring me that I was destined to be his furtre wife and the mother of his children as he call it. If you wanted to know what crazy looks like, we'll Mr. Kim is a prime example.
But we are getting of topic. See, I don't wanna tell you about my overly obsessive ass boss. I wanna tell you about the women who turned my life around. Serving tables is absolute shit, especially when no matter how rich one is, they never tip. "Hey Blue, bossman says he needs you at table six." I turned around to my partner in crime, Leslie. I'm happy to see her until I realized what she said, "I'm on break, though, like all these people around here . Can't he bother someone else." She gave me a sad smile and shrugged, "no, you know he likes to watch you suffer, because he expects after a while you will give in and let him take you out on a date." I stare at her with disgust.
"Yea, never mind your you're right. I'll take my chances with the wolves again. I'm just get going. If he asks again, make sure to tell him I chose getting screamed and yelled at my rich elderly woman over acknowledging his existence. " I hurried and jog off before she could say anything, grabbing my notepad and pen out of my pocket I had towards table six. With the biggest fake smile on. The love I have for these customers is crazy.
I stand there saying my usual line in the most chipper voice one can muster, whiteout even looking at the person sitting down in front of me. "Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I'm blue and very happy to serve you tonight. So what can I get, you folks?" I hear someone speak before muttering something about how I'm pretty, then I finally gather the courage to look up and see a group of women. All dressed to perfection, clothes tailored just to fit their figure. Those majority of them look around my age or slightly older. After a moment of being caught in a daze while overanlyzing them, I turn to her the tallest one of the bun speak up. "I would like to have a water to drink and just some shrimp pasta."
I make eye contact with her and my God. This is the most beautiful creature I've ever seen in my life. It almost feels like i should have to pay a fee to look upon her face. My stare moves down to her lips and not e how nice and pump they are. I would kill to suck on those lips, to feel what they tasted like even. I realize I've just been staring at her while the rest of the women have spoken uo about their order already. "Oo, I'm s-so sorry." I state being an absolute nervous wreck while looking down at my notepad. I hope she didn't notice that. "It's fine, sweetheart," I heard the girl that was referred to ad Lusher somewhere in the conversation state to me. I hurry up and excuse myself to go get their orders. She keeps staring at me, bitting the inner part of her check. Eventually, they leave after a while, leaving a $200 tip for me. I almost couldn't believe it. This I'd the first time someone has ever given me that much money as a tip.
After a while, the girl continues to come to our little restaurant. Same table, same confidence aura and everything. She makes it seem as if she is trying to just get something to eat. We continue to see each other even after work. She would pop in on my breaks, and around the time, I would clock out. She was intimidating. I'll get her that. I spoke with class, and her vibe just let you know she had money. And it seemed she had her eyes on a certain girl. Me. Though, after beating around the bush, Bada told me exactly what she wanted. "I want to take care of you. You'll never have to worry about a single thing when you're with me. Or lift a finger. Give you the life you deserve, baby. I mean, you are a cute little waitress, but you can be so much more. Why waste your time when you have me. Just say the words, and I'll take care of you."
Some might've immediately said yes, and to be honest, I would've to. Until Bada told me there were rules. Which did kinda throw me off a bit. I mean, I thought I had the whole idea down until well, I realized I didn't. It wasn't just about the money it was the pleasure. How much would she give me, and fuck did she give me a lot. Well lived by only a few rules, but Bada took them very seriously.
Rule 1: Don't question anything
Rule 2: Don't talk back
Rule 3: Don't touch yourself
You should've seen the look on my face when I heard the third rule, I mean, at the bright age of 22, who the hell doesn't masturbate. Literally made no sense to me until she tried to explain it further. "I give you pleasure. I'm the only one who should be touching you. I'm general baby. You belong entirely to me. That's how this works. Therefore, you shouldn't be doing anything without my permission cupcake." After finally going over the terms, I agreed in the end. At the end of the day, I was a broke college student who desperately needed the money, and Bada just so happens to be the sexy older one willing to give it to me. In a sense, I was happy with my current predicament. My life was going well. Now, back to what I was saying earlier.
I stared at myself in the mirror. Sometimes, I forget that I can look this good. "Yea, ayye, get it, girl." In the process of hyping myself up, I finally hear a voice speak up from behind me, scaring the absolute shit out of me. "I'm glad you like it, baby. It does look good on you, I told you I have an eye for beautiful things. I mean, just look at my baby girl." She says while holding on to my waist, kissing my neck slowly. I smile for a while until I realize what she is doing. "Baby, we are in public, a fitting room at that. We aren't doing that here," I say, trying to be firm while avoiding her glaze in the mirror.
"What did I tell you about saying no to me, huh? Do you make the rules?" She forcefully grabbed my chin when she caught on to the act. She grabs my breast while still making eye contact with me in the mirror. "That's right, just stand right here, ok? Gonna be my good girl, right?" I stare at the door, thinking about the people outside that will hear us. While I'm thinking about them, Bada moved the hand that was holding me under my top, slowly circling my right nipple. "Gonna be good, right?" She asks again,she never has enough patience to ask again. It seems she is being nice today. I nod my head at her question this time.
"Word babygirl, I need to hear you. Let them hear you. Just stop all that thinking for me." I whimper at her words. Finally, forgetting about the staff in the store. She moves her hand down my body, teasing me with her pace. "P-please, I'll be g-good. Gonna be so good for you." She smirks, looking down at my face before moving her hand towards my soaked pussy. "Always so f-fucking good for me, aren't you? My precious little baby. Just needs to be filled, like always." I look into her eyes in the mirror about to answer her before she insert a finger into me, all while still playing with my breasts. She knows my body like the back of her hand. Doesn't even have to try to find the spot.
"Yea, right there, come on. I can't hear you, baby girl." I know exactly the game she is playing at, but I can only stand there moaning like a bitch in heat being held on my weak jelly-like legs as she adds two more fingers. While she grinds her hips into me, fuck those bloody dancers and there hips. "Y-yes y-yes... shit o fuck right there". She just smiles at my reactions. Assuming to her if anything. "Were gonna buy this little outfit, then I'm gonna by 28 fucking more just to fuck the shit out of you in them. And you gonna let me, aren't you?. Gonna take it like a good girl who just needs her holes filled, right?" I shake my head, screaming yes over and over again while nodding profusely. Seems that's the only word my brain can come up with as she starts to suck down on my neck leaving marks while circling my clit with her thumbs. And she still continues to thrust those same three fingers in and out of me ob command.
"Fucked you dumb, aww that's adorable baby. But we just started, " She says while smirking, and I stare at her in a mix of fear and pleasure. "Now open those legs wider for me, baby girl."

Note: request by @willowbrookesblog! also at some point I'll have a fic for every uniform, I swear.
Warnings: fluff! mention of period, cramps, blood, ptsd. also suggestive.
pairing: Modern!Sihtric x you (f)
Summary: You hadn't seen Sihtric in a while, and your period was about to start just when you got reunited.
Word count: 3,5k 
Masterlist
Tumblr media
'Why on earth are you crying?'
***************** 'It can start any time really.'
'What?'
'I mean… look,' you said. Sihtric glanced quickly at your phone, frowned, and brought his eyes back on the road again.
'I don't know what I just looked at, honey.'
'It's my period tracker. The app says my period should start in three days. But it's a little unpredictable, it can happen a few days early or a few days later.'
'Babe,' Sihtric whined, 'are you kidding me? You stopped taking birth control when I was away?'
'No, but I didn't order a new pack in time. I'm sorry, baby, it slipped my mind. I thought I still had a pack when I took the last pill, but it turned out I didn't. And the pharmacy didn't have mine in stock due to some delivery issue, so I was forced to have the seven day break, which happens to be now.'
'Babe,' Sihtric whined again.
'It's not all my fault,' you huffed.
You really thought that having a whole grown man for a boyfriend, who was about 5 years older than you, would not whine like a teenage boy when he heard you were about to have your period.
'No, I know,' Sihtric said, 'I'm not saying that…'
'But…' you frowned.
Sihtric sighed, 'Oh, come on. I haven't seen you in six months, I missed you, baby. I've missed your body and I just really want to have sex with you, okay? It's been a long time and I'm really fucking horny.'
You were both not into having sex while you had your period. And, unfortunately, your period was about to start around the same time that Sihtric, your boyfriend of several years, returned from a six month army training abroad, and you had picked him up just minutes ago. You've been crying so hard ever since you had jumped in his arms, you couldn't possibly drive back home safely, as your eyes kept tearing up every time you looked at him. You had missed him so much and wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of the day in bed with him, but you grimaced at the idea of your period starting while you had sex.
'My pictures weren't satisfying enough these past months?' you frowned.
'Baby, your pictures worked wonders, multiple times a day sometimes, but you know what I mean. Don't tell me you've been completely satisfied by just looking at my pictures or those few rare times we had phone sex.'
'Well, no… I want to have sex with you too, obviously.'
'So you admit you have used my pictures?' Sihtric grinned.
'Really?' you snorted, 'you thought I didn't get off to your risky selfies?'
'I like to believe you are an innocent girl,' Sihtric smiled and slapped your thigh.
'Ouch!' you slapped his arm, 'and, yeah, sure. Because what we did right before you left was so innocent?'
Sihtric bit on his lower lip to suppress a smile when he recalled his last time with you. You already had sex twice the night before his departure, and the following morning once more too, before you accompanied him at the military base to see him off. Once there, you found out you had about half an hour to kill before he had to get ready. So Sihtric had pulled you into his office, closed the blinds, and managed to make you cum three times within that half hour; with his hands, with his tongue and with his cock. You could hardly walk or think straight when he was done with you, and you barely remember seeing him off that day, because all you could think about was the way he had absolutely ravaged you on his desk while he was in uniform. And before he was able to communicate with you and send you some pictures, the memory of that morning had been rather sufficient.
'That's our little secret, lady,' he winked. 
Sihtric absolutely loved having a girl who was a few years younger. He found women of his own age, or a few years older, were often too serious and not risky or adventurous enough for him. He truly felt he had hit the jackpot with you when he met you, years ago, and he was desperate to spend time with you again after being apart.
'Well, regardless, I'm sorry, babe, but I can't control it. All I know is that it didn't start yet.'
'But it can happen anytime?'
'Well, yeah.'
'I've been hard ever since you jumped in my arms, love,' Sihtric groaned, 'what are the odds that it starts today? Like… if I pull over now and take you in the backseat real quick, would we still be ahead of it then?'
'Sihtric, I don't know. It doesn't work like that, it's unpredictable. It's not scheduled like a train arrival or something,' you rolled your eyes.
'At least with trains you know they always arrive late,' Sihtric muttered under his breath.
'What?'
'Nothing, baby.'
You stared at him.
'Well are you going to pull over or what?'
'What?' Sihtric looked back and forth between you and the road, 'you really want me to-', before he finished his sentence, he braked abruptly as he passed an empty parking lot next to a gas station, and he pulled over immediately. You both looked at each other with a cheeky grin after he had shut off the car engine.
'Backseat,' Sihtric said sternly. You loved it when he barked around orders, but only during sexy time. Otherwise you just ignored him, because he'd be in a mood.
You both removed your seatbelt as fast as possible, got out of the car and jumped into the backseat, of which the windows were just dark enough to not see anything through it from the outside at first glance.
You had barely laid down or Sihtric already climbed on top of you, unbuttoning your jeans as you worked his camo jacket.
'Show me those abs, sir, that's an order,' you smiled and bit down on your lip as you ripped his jacket off and pulled his shirt over his head. Sihtric chuckled and pulled down your jeans, and underwear, before he leaned back in. You looked at his muscular body and moved your hands up his torso.
'Hm,' you hummed with a sly smile, 'I've missed that sexy body of yours.'
'Show me how much you've missed it, lady,' Sihtric grinned and pulled you up to him, 'I've been hard at work, training soldiers to protect the country for you, little miss,' he teased, 'so you better give your man a nice ride now.'
'Oh, I'll thank you for your service, big boy,' you chuckled and pulled his cargo pants and boxers down. 
You were to give him one hell of a ride, and luck was on your side it seemed, because when you were done, you still didn't start your period. You continued the road home, which was about an hour long, and as time passed you felt slight stomach cramps, knowing you had just finished in time.
You still couldn't keep your hands, or eyes, off your dark haired man, with his braids on top and curls in the back, so you kissed his lips and his neck at every traffic light. Which made Sihtric so horny again, while still being twenty minutes away from your house, that you had to give him a blowjob while he was driving, because you didn't want to risk having sex again as you felt your period approaching, and he desperately needed to be relieved.
***************
'Hurry, baby!' Sihtric said and sprinted to the front door, 'I want to see Thor. I need to know if he still recognises me.'
'Wait, I want to film this. It's the first time you've been away for so long since we got him!'
You took out your phone, and your keys, ready to film the moment of Sihtric being reunited with your 1 year old Bernese Mountain dog, named Thor.
You opened the door and Thor came storming out right away. Barking, tail wagging, full on dog zoomies as he ran circles around Sihtric, before he jumped up to his chest, taking Sihtric by surprise and causing him to stumble backwards onto the grass. Thor made use of the moment and jumped on Sihtric's chest again, to which he groaned while the dog was licking his face. You were simply crying your eyes out as you filmed the entire moment, and you're not even sure if you had pressed record to be honest. Sihtric eventually fought the dog off and you all managed to get inside the house. 
You made dinner as Sihtric kept Thor entertained. At one point you looked over your shoulder and found Sihtric, shirtless, standing up straight while holding Thor's front paws as he was dancing with the dog to the radio. You cried again and you blamed it on your approaching period. You were so happy to have Sihtric home again, but you couldn't deny you were a little irritated when, later that evening, Thor had jumped into Sihtric's arms and they had been riling each other up; howling like wolves together for 5 minutes straight. You blamed that moodswing on your period as well, but also melted at the sight of your oversized puppy dog in Sihtric's arms as he sat on the couch.
'Excuse me?' you crossed your arms. Sihtric and Thor looked up at you. 
'When is it my turn?' you asked impatiently, looking at the dog in his lap.
Sihtric sighed and looked at Thor. 'It's not my fault, buddy. Mom wants your spot and she needs some loving right now.'
'Yes. And daddy will take you out for a walk later,' you said as you hissed the dog away.
'Babe, don't call me daddy, please,' Sihtric grimaced before he pulled you in his lap, 'here, boy!' Sihtric whistled, and Thor jumped back on the couch, where he tried to shove you away from your man, but you would not let that dog win, because you knew he was cuter than you.
Eventually, you and Sihtric cuddled and talked for hours, catching up on everything that happened the past half year, and you went to bed around midnight, shortly before Sihtric walked the dog.
*****************
'It hurts so bad,' you groaned as you laid in the fetal position. Your period had started shortly after you had gone to bed and the cramps were horrible. You also learned you had run out of the medication you took to help with the pain, so the entire situation just sucked.
Sihtric had found you in bed as you were in pain, and he came up to lay behind you, his arms around your waist and his body fully pressed against yours. 
'Sihtric?' you asked after a few minutes when you heard him sniffle.
'Hm?' he hummed, followed by another sniffle.
'Sihtric,' you glanced over your shoulder, 'are you crying?'
'No,' he lied.
You turned around to face him and you couldn't help but chuckle.
'Why on earth are you crying?'
'I don't like it when you're in pain. I feel so useless. Is there anything I can do right now?'
'Honey,' you clicked your tongue, 'well, I guess you can make me some tea.'
You didn't have to ask twice, Sihtric was already on his way to the kitchen. Not much later he came back with tea, and a heating pad he had found in the cupboard, which he had filled with hot water.
'Here, I found this,' Sihtric said and handed you the heating pad, which you quickly shoved behind your lower back as you sat up in bed.
'I made you chamomile tea with some lavender. I read it's good for period cramps.'
'It is,' you smiled and took the cup, 'thank you, baby.'
You kissed his cheek and started sobbing again.
'What's wrong, my love?'
You gave him a long inaudible answer, due to the ugly crying, but Sihtric figured you said something about strong emotions, your period and something about the full Moon. He wiped your tears away and put his arm around your shoulder while you sipped your tea. When you laid down, Sihtric softly planted kisses on your tummy, and you nearly dozed off already.
'Will you wake me up at seven, sweetie?' you whispered in the dark, 'I have to go to the pharmacy and get those meds.'
'I will,' Sihtric said and kissed your lips before you both fell asleep.
But Sihtric didn't wake you up in the morning. Instead he snuck out of bed, got dressed, had breakfast and came back in the bedroom to kiss your cheek. He waited a short moment to see if you woke up, but you were simply knocked out and didn't even notice he had kissed your cheek.
'I love you, baby,' he whispered in your ear regardless, and gave you another peck on your cheek. Then he quietly walked out of the bedroom and took Thor with him as he walked to the pharmacy on a quiet foggy morning.
Almost an hour later they got back home again, and Sihtric was happy to see you were still asleep when he switched on the lamp on his nightstand. He carefully lifted the blanket up to sneak in bed again but then saw you were laying dead still, in a pool of red. His heart skipped about five beats at the sight. You always had a heavy flow the first two days, but as you often skipped your period, Sihtric didn't know about it. And even if he somehow knew it was probably nothing to be alarmed about, it still triggered his PTSD, bless his job, and he started nudging you awake as fast as he could.
'Baby, wake up. Baby, please,' Sihtric's voice trembled as he tried to wake you up, but it took a moment, as you were sleeping like a rock.
'Wake up! Wake up! Please! Baby!' Sihtric raised his voice as his panic took over, and you finally startled awake.
'Huh? Wh-what?' you blinked rapidly and confused, and before you could even adjust to being awake again, Sihtric had pulled you in his arms, squeezing you so tightly against his chest, you could barely breathe.
You quickly realised what had happened as you felt the wet puddle of blood underneath you and you didn't know if you felt more embarrassed about him seeing you like this, or upset that you had triggered him with a heavy emotion. You managed to calm him down, and he told you there was nothing to be ashamed of.
'It just spooked me because I simply didn't expect it, I'm sorry,' he said.
'No, I should've told you this could happen but I really didn't think about it. I didn't realise it would… I feel so bad. I thought you were more or less okay after all the therapy you had.'
'No, don't feel bad, please. And I am more or less okay, but there will always be this… this part of the trauma that can't be fully erased. And every now and then it comes out when I see a lot of blood out of nowhere. I mean, there's a reason I quit going on missions and switched to giving training. No chances of you know… seeing loads of blood again.'
You both apologised for another 5 minutes while telling each other there was nothing to be sorry for. You quickly went to the bathroom to fix yourself up while Sihtric changed the bed. When done, he pulled you back in his arms again and you fell asleep together until noon. 
When you woke up you realised Sihtric never woke you up in the morning to go to the pharmacy. You groaned and rubbed your eyes, got dressed, and decided to best get going to stop this stupid pain.
You found Sihtric downstairs in the kitchen, shirtless, while Thor was circling around his legs and begging for food. You smiled at the sight of your man in his desert camo sweatpants while his army dog tags and hammer pendant dangled against his muscular chest.
'I made you pancakes,' Sihtric smiled when he saw you. He knew you loved it when he walked around the house without a shirt, so he would always do it when you weren't feeling your best. He also knew you loved pancakes and were in need of comfort food.
'Oh, I also picked up your meds earlier,' he pointed to the table, 'and I bought you ice cream and some chocolate,' he continued as he handed you a plate, 'you can add that to your pancakes. The ice cream and chocolate I mean, not your meds.'
You chuckled and were a little speechless. You figured you should definitely take that 7 day stop more often if this was how he would treat you each time. You grinned and walked up to him.
'Thank you, love,' you said and ran your hands up his torso as you pecked his cheek.
'You're welcome, princess,' Sihtric smiled and pulled you against his warm chest, 'want to watch The Office all day?'
'Yeah,' you chuckled. That show always made you laugh. You walked over to the couch with the pancakes, ice cream and chocolate while Thor followed with begging eyes.
'No,' Sihtric said firmly to the dog when you looked at him. But when you hopped back to the kitchen, to get your painkillers and a drink, Sihtric quickly threw Thor a piece of his pancake. And they looked at each other with a mutual agreement they would not rat each other out. You frowned when you saw the two of them giving you overly innocent looks and rolled your eyes. You weren't a fool. You knew Sihtric was Thor's favourite and Thor was Sihtric's favourite. You had accepted you were second place in both their hearts shortly after you had adopted Thor. They were lucky they were both so damn cute.
'Come here, babe,' Sihtric pulled you in his arms as you hit play on Netflix. Thor gave Sihtric puppy dog eyes for not being in his lap, and Sihtric winked, to which the dog started to wag his tail and stuck his tongue out as he panted, knowing he'd get some cuddles too later.
You watched tv all day and simply cuddled on the couch, doing nothing more than enjoying each other and the fact you were reunited again. You dozed off just before dinner time when Sihtric took the dog for a quick walk, and he ordered a few pizzas for you both to enjoy later. He carried you up to the bedroom, ran downstairs quickly to take the pizzas and called Thor over to come upstairs too. 
Once in bed, you ate pizza, cuddled, and made out, which was rather risky but you both more or less kept your self control. After that, Sihtric massaged your shoulders softly, until you fell asleep in his arms while watching your favourite movie, with Sihtric on your left side and Thor on your right. And despite the cramps, bloodshed and the lack of sex, this was the best reunion you had with Sihtric in all those years. But you were both glad when the week had passed and you could start making up for all that lost time.

Does anyone else have vastly different appearances in their head for you in the different routes? Like I day dream a lot, like a lot a lot it's why I post sometimes it's when the fear overrides the need to word vomit.
TW: mentions of abuse, depression and just general fucked up. It's the diaboys there's only so much you can avoid mentioning
Ok so I'm gonna write out a brief description of what always stays the same in these day dreams. I play around with them being human or something else, normal or like assassin's or stuff like that. But there's a few things that generally stay the same. They're all Afab, with she/her pronouns just because I create women a lot in my head but you could easily gender swap them as I'm focusing on personality and general vibe the appearance I describe I think is easily able to fit on different genders or have a same vibe equivalent.
Shu
I've always felt Shu would match well with someone who deals with depression or anxiety, more so less severe cases as two sleep all the time to avoid having to face life people do not make healthy relationships. But someone who has some degree of understanding while also having a better hold of themselves as humans are getting better at learning how to help manage depression. Shu is old and I'm pretty sure he's not bothered to learn much about the modern world aside from sleep/comfort, music (that's a stretch mp3s are not used as much as phones also that bitch would absolutely be a waterproof wireless earphone hoe), and probably porn.
I think a natural leader type person would also suit. I know in theory it sounds antithetical to the s/o with depression but hear me out. I deal with depression but also due to my own personality step into organized positions as I want things done to avoid stress. I really see an oldest sister would match him as it's someone modeling behaviors that to the best of my knowledge Shu was never against having. It was Reiji rejecting him and the triplets being kept away from him that prevented that dynamic setting itself up. I really think if an s/o could get Shu to work on himself he would be trying to be more brotherly. I think out of all the brothers Shu and Subaru are very likely to have a happier relationship with everyone. But they don't have the tools and are too stepped in their ways to navigate without help.
I think they would have to meet in school or something outside of being a sacrificial bride, maybe an actual exchange student with strict instructions of no harm coming to them. Diaboys set up a pretty unhealthy dynamic and since they go cruelty first, then fuck up so bad then realize they're in love that the types that would benefit them "best" would be gone or killed already.
Someone with a good sense or sarcasm would be great for Shu too. Couples who laugh together stay together. Plus a match for teasing would probably be something that leaves a grin on his face all day long.
Shu: "You should really wear a longer skirt in school, or do you want me to look up your skirt as you walk past. Heh, lewd woman"
S/o: [as they walk past] "Why risk breaking uniform code when I can just wear nice underwear under it instead, then I get two benefits"
S/o: [stopping just before turning down a corridor] "There's no rant from Reiji for breaking code and you end up showing off how desperate you are. Lewd man~"
Shu: [in love]
I don't think any super genius level of intelligence is needed but someone with a rounded view on things and a someone who is at least vaguely informed about what they talk about would be good. It avoids the annoyance of someone dense but also isn't so book focused it reminds him of Reiji.
Reiji
Speaking of the spectacled suitor. S/o has gotta be smart in some capacity not necessarily an encyclopedia but maybe good at Chemistry/Biology, or a good strategist. Bitch aims to be a control freak and a future king or, route depending, advisor to the King, so battle tactics would be attractive.
He'd be into the type of woman who doesn't overtly dress sexually. Pencil skirt or pants and blouse with some heels are a great look and can be sexual when you want to be sexual but also just well put together when you aren't looking to get railed on a desk. Except, of course, for when he decides to get handsy he realizes you decided to forgo any underwear.
Nipple piercings. He's definitely into them you can't fool me it's all that hidden succubus energy he finds attractive in a partner.
Past that he wants someone who isn't going to stress him out, someone to be a voice of reason, and someone to relax with.
I think someone chatty could be either great or awful for him. On the one hand he seems so adjusted to over stimulation true silence may unsettle him but at the same time it may annoy him if he isn't interested in conversation. Same for the other side of the coin, someone too quiet would unsettle him cause he won't know what your thinking, but at the same time it might be nice to sit in silence and read.
I've always thought Reiji would want someone tall like 5'10-6'00 as they can't be taller then him because inferiority complex, but I firmly believe he's got a back that is prone to aches already so not having to bend far for kisses or hugs would be nice. Or better yet someone shorter than him but still tall for a woman, so wearing heels gets here to be like 5'11" to 6ft.
Reiji does like humor and spontaneity sometimes. I think a stiff lover would drain him, nobody wants to actually date themselves. Again the older sister type (stereotype I know) would suit, as generally older sisters are pushed to mature fast like he was, except generally it's not as severe as him and older sisters are statistically the most likely to have read about or been to therapy to undo some of the behaviors that aren't as healthy.
[Loud music or something playing]
Reiji: [going to stand up] I swear can nobody keep order in this house...
S/o: [Gently touches his hand] They've yet to make a crash and it's coming from Ayato's room. I say we turn on the record player to drown it out for now. It's not your job to be their dad Sweetness, and all your doing is giving yourself grey hairs
Reiji: [sitting back down] I suppose I could finish this chapter-
[CRASH]
S/o: [quickly stands up and starts to walk to the door, lots of heel clicking] I swear that boy has to ruin every quiet moment I can grasp for us. Wait there.
Reiji: [feels very loved for and is confused as to why that gave him a boner]
I don't think he'd enjoy a dom much but a switch who prefers to sub but isn't against them taking a more gentle lead (not the kinky shit he's into I don't think you'd actually get a whip near him in a healthy relationship).
Ayato
This bitch is tricky. Like I think with the except of Subaru the Sakamakis get worse the younger they are. I feel that's why the triplets never appealed to me they seemed harder to redeem. I could see Shu, Reiji, or Subaru potentially getting better with Reiji least likely but the triplets are... messy.
That being said I think Ayato is definitely going to have to be a least a little bit on the road to being more balanced by the time he meets this s/o.
An s/o who is modern would definitely appeal in my opinion. Video games, outfits, music all that good culture stuff that Ayato is a spectator not a player in right now. He is still old as shit and he hasn't got non...any friends so he doesn't have a lens to learn the culture, all he can do is watch.
Ayato is one of the highest sex driven characters in the games (he sleeps with Yui the most because it uses the underwear sprite almost every time they sleep together indicating it ain't just dreaming happening) I think that may be part possessive part teenage boy. So someone with an interest in partaking is probably important for drive balance. To be clear I don't necessarily mean sexy here, more so that giddy first time giggles type person. Someone who's excited to experience things with him.
That extends past the bedroom too Ayato was starved for activity as a child and is still as a teen so someone who knows what's fun and is happy to take him there is like perfect.
I do think Ayato's s/o will need to be a patient person as I feel Ayato going through therapy would mean a lot of breakdowns or tension in him that could lead to more arguments than potentially needed if they ain't a little patient for the smaller things. There is a difference between 'he demanded I make him Takoyaki then sulked when I reminded him we're equals in this partnership so I'll avoid escalating ' vs 'he has bitten me for talking to a guy, but to him that's just a display of love.' The second thing deserved a conversation then and there you don't avoid rocking the boat when it comes to dangerous behaviors folks.
[See Ayato with a hairbrush sitting cross legged with S/O in his lap] Ayato: So we don't like Jacob...
S/O: Well, Edward isn't exactly a catch himself but like c'mon he imprinted on a baby. Ayato: Beatrix and him were engaged from birth. S/O: Exactly.
Laito
Oh boy. Again needs to be starting therapy or unraveling what his mum did to him and what his culture has shaped him to be first.
Once done however I think Laito would want someone "normal." No baggage, or crazy lifestyle, or wacky habits. I think he craves something calm when everything has been so disordered growing up. I think it's why he likes crosswords, they're a weirdly normal thing in his weird world.
I think he needs someone with a lower sex drive then he displays in the games. A not uncommon trauma response from childhood sexual assault is hyper sexuality which seems to be why Laito is hyper sexual. I don't think that's him as a person, Shu would be high sex drive in how he talks but Laito seems very much to be shielding himself with sex not having sex for sex.
So yeah someone who isn't always in the mood, maybe they sleep naked but just because they want skin on skin contact. Maybe it's to feel his breathing better. But that sort of environment. Where the thing he's over sexualized: himself and women, become less sexual more intimate. He'll be thrown a bit at first 100%. But I think after cuddling while having his hair gentle played with or a shoulder rub he'll be welcoming this new part bodily expression.
Laito is smart, smarter than he gets credit for he's a manipulator with charisma to boot and I've tried a crossword they use a certain part of your brain that I do not use. I think he'd like someone who's not too dense but also I feel like he won't mind too much so long as they could hold conversation and read sarcasm.
He also would probably love a more modern s/o like Ayato. Imagine the shopping sprees!
S/O: [coming out of changing room] I'm really not sure about this dress on me Laito: It's the shade it clashes with your undertones, try it in a different colour. S/O: They don't have it in my size, that sucks. Laito: Why? fufu~ It's Chanel, she was a vampire just take a picture and I'll get the designer over to make you one tailored made. S/O: Are you sure? I don't know how close I want you being stuck to your dad, and all the weirdness you've mentioned. Laito: Oh please, as if he's bothered enough about the fourth in line.
Kanato
This one's hard man. Kanato, Ruki, Kou, and Azusa are some of the hardest to envision in a healthy spot tbh. So this Kanato is very ooc. Think: isn't talking to teddy even if he still carries it, has a better hold on his temper, isn't trying to kill you constantly... basically just not Kanato.
A baker or a cook would absolutely appeal, dates where they show him how to cook new treats could be fun. Also top tier tea parties man.
Potentially a singer, musician, or dancer could appeal as well with the shared interest of singing being there. If the jealousy Kanato has gets weakened a bit I think that could help him get past his "I sing cuze mum liked it" thing.
I also truly think Kanato is like Laito in wanting something normal after all the abnormal he's lived through.
sorry he's so short I seriously don't know what to write. I also do not want to curse you all with mega ooc Kanato discussion
Subaru
Subaru is by far the closest to being the same amount of traumatized some people I've met irl are. Issues still there with the whole punching walls in anger but the fact he seems to punch walls to avoid hurting people implies he is trying to work on himself but doesn't know how.
Subaru could meet his s/o as a sacrificial bride and I think he's the only one who could. If I remember his route correctly, he isn't nearly as sadistic in the reasoning for his biting, hes also like what 15, 16 looking? He is modelling the only behavior he's seen, and while that doesn't make it right it is less heinous than the others.
I feel the most profound importance for this relationship is someone who will not shout, someone with a healthy enough up bringing to view arguments as Subaru approaches them as entirely useless. He will probably still have tantrums at first but having someone entirely unwilling to let communication break down on their end will push Subaru to do the same.
Subaru also does not seem to actually want much at all. He just wants a break, poor thing. If the S/O were to be a sacrificial bride, I think he'd be the one to pull a run away. I don't see Karl caring much here, Subaru is just a consequence of his vile habits as far as Karl is concerned.
From there I do think it's just a normal therapist and probably turning the S/O to a vampire.
[S/O and Subaru in some nice meadow resting on a blanket by a stream. Think flowers everywhere under a gently warm sun.] S/O: I've successfully lasted a week without accidentally breaking anything! Subaru: HAHA! Well done but don't go expecting any prizes I could do that shit. S/O: Fair, your 3 year pin is coming up to. We should probably do something for it. Subaru: Well... there is one thing... [getting up to one knee]
Ruki
oh look what we have here. An endgelord.
Seriously Ruki infuriates me from a character point at times. They are meant to be somewhat foils to the Sakamakis, and for Ruki in particular his behavior is a mirror to Reiji and his ego is closer to Ayato but with Reiji type mannerisms.
So he likes reading, came from nobility but saw the absolute worse of humanity to then re-find a reason to care for others with his brothers. Ok cool, then he dies in an attempt to escape to then have Karl take pity on him and revive him as his subordinate. SO WHY DOES HE HATE POOR PEOPLE!?
Like whenever I sit down to think about it Ruki's sheer cruelty lines up with nothing other than abused children turn into abusers which is a dog-shit and wrong opinion. Like he doesn't have to be pally, he can be a kuudere, he can be jaded. But having him be so sadistic just makes him what he hated, a spoiled rich man taking joy in using his power over others.
But this is about suited partners. So for this fucker I prescribe what he wishes he was. Now this is the material worth much more work and maybe it will get that, I am currently uncertain.
So, let's be real that orphanage still existed after the Mukamis. So my little world I've made with all that maladaptive day dreaming I do. In that world just to show Ruki as not as above everyone as he thinks, his soulmate type S/O as well as some if not all the other S/Os were there either at the same time or sequentially. Ruki got his escape plan from the work of a girl he viewed as too stupid to pull it off, aka S/O. When the boys escape obviously torture happens to see if anyone knows anything, and the boys failed the escape. This is used by the S/O to advise her sisters to change course slightly.
They do escape and Karl realizes very quickly he got the less advantageous group in terms of strategy. He would more than likely approach these girls, maybe they stay human for quite a while but eventually do need to be turned for the pure sake of time.
So Ruki gets introduce when he comes to visit Karl to update on the whole Eve thing only to see S/O. Standing there talking with Karl as if you're equals as he's laughing at some comment. Karl introducing them as his right hand man so to speak. Seeing that you get to live with Karl and you glaring.
After some prodding due to jealousy causing him to take out his insecurities on you in the form of unwanted commentary, you snap. You openly call him out on his failings, how you are what he wishes he was and how you don't masquerade as the same tormentors that made both your childhoods hell.
Eventually (I'm not giving a whole slow burn fic away for free people), he gets whipped something bad. Having to face the fact that he is exactly what he judges in humans so much. I don't imagine many would forgive him, hence why S/O to me cannot be anyone other than such a strong person to have survived and still be so openly kind.
No dialogue here so I can pretend these all got fair treatment.
Yuma
So big boy farmer. His sadism doesn't fully track with me same as Ruki but Yuma has more redeeming character traits that offset the cruelty. He also seems to truly only carry out the Eden project due to loyalty to Karl, he is a fiercely loyal person.
As said for Ruki I love the idea of the Mukami S/Os being sisters from the orphanage. Yumas S/O would probably also have a strong sense of loyalty to Ruki's S/O. The main exception being her loyalty to Karl does not cause her to be in any way sadistic. While Karl is fully ready to drop kick a child the S/O does not see that behavior appropriate at all regardless of her vampire-ism.
Having to deal with pining for a girl who will not date him as he currently treats women may cause him to change for the sake of placating her sure. But once identities are revealed and Yuma learns that the reason the S/O is so anti-cruelty is due to the orphanage I think Yuma would be one of the ones more open to change. Like Ruki, the reflection isn't so nice once the glass was polished.
He just wants a farm and probably kids or dogs lets be real here.
Kou
Once again an edgelord. Who doesn't at all understand give and take as much as he harps on about it. I may have low enough standards to crush on these boys but a hypocrite is TOO LOW.
I'm sounding like a broken record here but a fellow orphan escapee S/O as the vector for Kou getting called out on his bs is great.
Also full on enemies to lovers vibes. One little head canon is what if the S/O at the request of Karl gave up an eye, the eye then enchanted for Kou. Having to stand across from someone who will not buy the excuse of his trauma being an acceptable reason to harm others. Because you lived through it all, if not worse and still gave up an eye free of charge because Karl had this protegee who was so sad about not having two eyes.
I think Kou's love would not start until near a century after. Having to see you again and again after the introduction, seeing how you and your sister's are Karl's jewels as you are so effective because of your humanity. He's prone to envy let's be frank.
But once he opens up to the fact he could change and be like you, maybe after having to work with you, he begins to warm up to it all.
Azusa
Azusa is one like Kanato that I am unsure if I know how to treat.
The love of pain of his would put so much emotional labor on an S/O that just isn't fair. The only relationship I would feel comfortable writing on would be a post therapy and self work Azusa who doesn't make masochism his main personality trait.
He is gentle in disposition so a gentle S/O would match well. Or maybe an extroverted S/O to bring him out his shell a bit, post masochism recovery.
Yeah if any Azusa fans read this and have ideas please write you own and sent it to me I am really curious of seeing this from the perspective on someone who has a connection to him.

Hii🤍
I love all your works, just WOW.
if you’re taking requests could you maybe do something where Nacho falls in love with Lalo’s younger sister🙈
Tumblr media
notes: render is female. words: 682
FORGIVENESS if this has no plot and feels very empty, I've been uninspired lately but I wanted to write something! Ask me for more Nacho x Render!LaloSister and I'll make sure to write something with a better plot!
Tumblr media
The stay in Chihuahua seemed to be dragging on longer than desired. Ignacio wasn't happy about it, especially when Fring's failed attempt to kill Lalo didn't work out, and in a misunderstanding that occurred, Nacho ended up alerting Lalo before they could attack the Hacienda, causing Lalo to trust him even more now and his loyalty.
He had chained himself to the Salamancas by mistake and was now paying the consequences. Ignacio had the curse of being liked by absolutely everyone who knew him. Don Eladio marveled at Nacho's intelligence and presence, Don Bolsa met him and also formalized a friendship with him, not to mention the other Salamancas who were part of the Cartel, and each of them were detestable psychopaths and arrogant, none of them were spared.
But there you were, a young girl who shared traits with Lalo and his cousins, but seemed to be the calmest of all.
Nacho met you at a family dinner organized by the family on a Sunday. Lalo and his paternal family cooked grilled meat while the other family members hung out and talked. Nacho had noticed how numerous the Salamancas were, beyond those involved in the cartel. The women were beautiful and the children were unruly, and the family atmosphere almost fooled Nacho for a moment and made him feel comfortable, surrounded by the people he despised the most.
He approached the kitchen to grab a Corona beer from the fridge and seek some privacy to think. He opened the beer and took a big sip when a female voice caught him off guard.
"Are you Ignacio, right?" Your voice filled his ears, and the accent you had was somewhat similar to Lalo's, so Nacho quickly deduced that both of you were raised and educated in the same place, very different from the pronounced accent of the other Salamancas.
"I prefer Nacho" he said as he turned to look at you, realizing how good you looked leaning on the other side of the kitchen counter.
"Nacho" you repeated, and a smile illuminated your face. A smile that made Nacho tremble, the way your lips embraced your smile and your eyes sparkled reminded him too much of Lalo and his terrifying smile, but in you, it appeared much more genuine.
You courteously introduced yourself, indicating your place in the family and your familial bond with Lalo, which Nacho had deduced minutes ago. He feigned a disgusted expression and tried to be polite and friendly with you.
"Lalo hasn't stopped talking about you these past few days, about how you saved him and all that" you teased a little, gesturing boredom with your hands. "When he talked about you, I imagined a different kind of guy."
"Different in what way?" he asked with curiosity, noticing your boldness and charisma when speaking.
"I don't know…" you shrugged nonchalantly. "But not as handsome, that's for sure."
Ignacio felt his skin tingle just from hearing you. The way you spoke with such confidence and audacity to him, without even knowing him, felt familiar, and he wasn't sure if it was just your flirtatious personality or if you were actually trying to flirt with him.
"Handsome?" He laughed and realized that he hadn't forced his laughter; you genuinely made him smile. "And I haven't been sleeping well these past few days, I'm not at my best."
"And why haven't you been able to sleep, Nachito?" The level of trust you have taken with him truly surprises him. He usually knows that the Salamancas are distrustful and difficult to deal with, but you have been quite pleasant with him. "Is Lalo too demanding?"
Nacho laughs again and leans against the counter right in front of you. His hazel eyes carefully analyze you, and you can notice how he appears to have softened. "Maybe just a little."
"Well... I know some techniques to help you relax and sleep well at night."
Your words ignited something within Nacho. The sweetness of your voice and the audacity in your actions made him forget where he was and who he was talking to.

Who are your top 5 favorite JoJo characters and why? Who are your least favorite characters?
Alright I'm gonna go into more detail because I love talking about characters <3
1: Foo Fighters. Like I've said before, Kakyoin and them have some similar motifs, namely the motifs of feeling othered from the world and not really having friends until they become a part of the main Jojo group of their respective parts. As a (probably) autistic person and a (definitely) ADHD person, I heavily relate to this message, as I never really feel like I belong unless I'm with my tight-knit friend group. What I like better about FF, though, is that this "otherness" is a key aspect of their personality and characterization, instead of being shoehorned in right before their screen time ends. That, and their overall personality is just more fun. Also nonbinary representation is always cool in my book.
2: Josuke Higashikata. He's the manifestation of my favorite things about Jojo all put into one character. He's got a snazzy outfit. He can switch from silly to serious at a moment's notice. But most importantly, he has a heart of gold and won't stop fighting for peace. The fact that he's a former fictional crush of mine definitely kicks him up a few places as well.
3: Yoshikage Kira. I know I said Josuke includes all of my favorite things about Jojo, but Kira is a manifestation of all the minor things I love about Jojo. He "looks normal" in canon but wears a Bright Purple Outfit. He has really unique dialogue. He's insanely smart. And, of course, he's a needlessly cruel villain. Araki seems to love creating villains that like to kick puppies for fun, and I love seeing them in his work. The funniest part is that Kira would actually just be a normal guy, if not for his urge to kill women. There's a lot of other things about his character I like, but none major enough to mention here.
4: Jolyne Cujoh. I really appreciated seeing her character growth throughout the story of Stone Ocean! Jolyne, like Josuke, has a lot of that fighting spirit and willpower, but instead of fighting for the sake of others (although she definitely does that don't get me wrong), her story is about fighting for the sake of herself. She's been through a lot. She grew up without a father figure. And now, she's stuck in prison for a crime she didn't commit. Her story is about fighting for her own future, fighting to make amends with her father, fighting to free herself and her soul. And in the end, it was her decisions that ended up defeating Pucci.
5: Danny. The bestest boy. Little ouppy. He deserved better.
okay but really my number 5 pick is Iggy. He's a dog who gives absolutely zero shits about humans unless they're giving him coffee gum. But underneath that shittiness is a tenacity that's almost human-like. He reminds me of my own dog, in a way. She's a grumpy old lady who doesn't listen to a word you say unless there's food involved, and she refuses to die. Seriously, she's gotten her little paws on SO much chocolate during her lifespan, and she's had to take a medicine that was supposed to give her leukemia years ago.
And for the sake of not making this any longer than it needs to be, I'll just list my least favorite character from the main cast and then overall.
My least favorite Jojo character from the main cast is Giorno. I feel like there's a lot of missed potential with his character. This is a 15-year-old boy who has both Joestar and Brando blood. There was so much Araki could have done with Giorno that he didn't, and instead created a character with very little personality who was supposed to be the driving force of his part. I think he's part of the reason Golden Wind is one of the most forgettable parts to me.
My least favorite Jojo character overall is Forever the orangutan. His Stand fight could have been really interesting but instead we got a child's bare ass on screen because Forever was a creep. I actually watched the Jojo OVA from the 2000's, and they cut Anne's character out entirely but keep the Strength fight. Because Anne wasn't there they altered how some of the events went down and honestly? It was super cool. I liked it a lot more. And do keep in mind that I don't think Araki was trying to write this as a sexy thing. I do think he was trying to incorporate shock factor though so it's still not very redeemable.

I've seen lately that in some fsyy media, they are trying to portray Su Daji as someone who helped Zhou and put Zhou as the real villain and not an innocent victim of Daji's manipulation and bootlicking (I understand they are possibly trying to demolish "women are always to blame"). I watched this in Jiang Ziya's animated film, that Nezha animated series and the recent adaptation of fsyy, creation of the gods. But I wanted to ask, is it true what they say that the real Su Daji was slandered just to give King Zhou a bad reputation? Or was she really bad?
I assume that, by "the real Su Daji", you mean the historical Su Daji. Which is...tricky, because her very name might be a later invention!
Like, in Zhou dynasty + Spring & Autumn period sources, there were mentions of King Zhou's concubines; 尚书 described King Zhou as a "woman pleaser" and someone who was easily influenced by their words, and 逸周书 recorded that the two concubines of King Zhou hang themselves after his defeat, and their bodies were decapitated by King Wu and put on a flagpole.
This lines up with what we know about the historical Shang dynasty, where aristocratic women could, and did participate directly in political and military affairs: the most famous of them being Fu Hao, King Wu Ding's wife.
However, the name "Da Ji" did not appear in written sources until the Warring State period; the earliest one, 国语·晋语, said that when King Zhou warred against the You Su clan, they surrendered a woman named Da Ji as tribune, who gained favors at court and became the seed of Shang dynasty's destruction.
Subsequent documents like 世本 and 史记 then merged that anecedote together with earlier records, and formed a new narrative:
1)Da Ji was offered up as a tribune by the You Su clan,
2)King Zhou loved her so much that he listened to her every words,
3)King Wu killed her and put her head on a flagpole.
Once this narrative gained popularity, together with the name, it was only a matter of time before ancient historians were blaming the end of Shang dynasty solely on Da Ji, and even attributing King Zhou's supposed tyrannical deeds(cutting out Bi Gan's heart, making Mei Bo into meat sauces) to her.
"So, was she really bad?"
We will never know! No, really, it is hard to make any moral judgements when her very existence is based on shaky evidence and later extrapolations.
This extends to King Zhou/Di Xin too; whenever he was brought up in ancient historical writings, it was less about actual Shang dynasty history, and more about the writers' ideals of virtuous rulership and its opposite.
Lastly, there is the matter of value dissonance: we know, from archaeological evidence, that human sacrifice was widely practiced in the historical Shang dynasty. At its heights, oracle bone scripts recorded the killing of a thousand people in one go, and though the quantity was significantly reduced by King Zhou's time, the practice went on until the dynasty's end.
From a modern day standpoint, it is absolutely horrifying, but for a king of the Shang dynasty or a warrior-priestess like Fu Hao, to which spirits and gods and ancestral ghosts were very real, fearsome forces that could only be placated with sacrifices, it would be a vital duty.

assuming aemond's feelings are reciprocated by alys, what made her fall in love with him? i've seen lots of analyses about HIS pov on their relationship but rarely from hers. asking bc i love your takes on this ship and i'm obsessed with alys/aemond!
Ohh this is a great question thank you!
I've been thinking about it all day because I think it raises an interesting point about a lot of ships in general; how sometimes in those ships, people only really focus on one character and the other only kinda exists in relation to how they make the first character feel, how being loved by character 2 transforms character 1 etc. and its really only about character 1's exploration.
Or with a lot of M/F pairings, there's nothing really below the surface level of lust and "our love can move mountains" "us against the world" but like, do they like each other? Do they make each other laugh?
So I think in relation to Alys and Aemond, and especially Alys falling in love with Aemond, it has to be a slowburn imo. There has to be a degree of equality between them, and because they share nothing equal in terms of social status, power, or even gender, it has to be curated in other ways.
Respect, compassion, empathy, Being Seen and Heard and Valued. I think they're both incredibly lonely people, and so getting these things from each other will have such a profound affect.
I know people can't let go of "How can Alys love him if he killed her family!!!" and its never "Why was Alys a servant to that family to begin with?" So I'm not even hearing all that right now. And TBH we don't know if Aemond will be the one to do it, in the show, it could be Daemon WE DONT KNOW. Because to me it really sounds like bastard children of slave owners in the Antebellum south that were still kept as slaves. I know it isn't the exact same, I wouldn't be surprised if Alys wasn't THAT broken up over it (aside from the little kids)
But I digress. Given that Alys is a wet nurse, suggesting that she's been pregnant before despite being a Lord's daughter could suggest that she was mistreated by men in her past. So I think right out the gate, Aemond not being the same would definitely set him apart from other men in her eyes. Not being treated as a sexual object because she has no power to refuse and should be considered grateful that a Targaryen prince would want her. It sounds like the bar is in hell, but consider the time when only highborn women were granted a modicum of basic courtesy and even then it's hit or miss.
The things I mentioned above, the respect, compassion, empathy, being seen and heard and valued. The reason why I say their relationship best fits a slow burn is because Aemond really has to learn all of these things when it comes to Alys on top of unlearning his bias towards bastards. Respecting her as a person with the same amount of complexity, compassion for her place in the world, empathy for how she's been treated by the society that he was born into, Seeing her for who she is as a fully realized person, hearing her and taking in what she says, and valuing her. And if this is something Alys feels is genuine from Aemond, I can absolutely see her falling in love with him over it!
Another thing of note is even in the book when Aemond uses "we" to describe them, it really suggests to me an equality between them. And that means Alys' elevation, not necessarily in garnered physical power, but in personal confidence. Alys' trajectory is from a wet nurse and servant to her own family, to a queen. He speaks of her in reverence, "She sees much and more, my Alys." What could make Alys fall for Aemond is him embracing her witchy side as something beautiful and powerful, not scary and to be feared as might have been the case for much of her life in Harrenhal before them. Having someone truly in her corner and believing in Alys and making her feel special because of who she is, not just because of how it would benefit Aemond would just mean everything.
If you've never had anyone think that you were anything more than a thing, and then here comes this person who sees magic in you, and made you feel confident to speak in your own voice and be proud of who you were, wouldn't you fall in love with them too?
This all to ME is way more profound and interesting than "she's an evil cuntress who enchanted him to kill him" which some people really ascribe to their relationship. I'm just so bored by cynicism and I think seeing how genuine love can transform two fundamentally different people in a time of war into something better is what we need now as a society.

Do you surf? Recommendations.
Yeah! I’m not immaculate yet, but I started taking it seriously this year after I saw Carissa Moore at Billabong pipeline. She is seriously impressive and has so much mana!<3 “Recommendations” is pretty vague lol but I’ll try my best!
I absolutely adore Patty Ornelas and her surf style has inspired my own surfing.
I love when Spencer Dunlap said “Surfing is like dancing on a liquid stage. It’s an artistic expression of your character, personality, and spirit, using the wave as your canvas.” It’s very important to find your surf style, whether it’s more athletic and powerful or elegant and graceful is up to you!
Consider investing in surf lessons if it's within your budget and you want to speed up your learning process. I don’t suggest ever attempting to surf waves like Teahupo'o or Cloudbreak without proper training and supervision. Too gnarly and even pro surfers get humbled on those breaks.
When you first start, stand firm on only surfing breaks that fit your stance. The best surf break for goofy footed people is a left hand point break and for regular footed people it’s a right hand point break. Once you get better you can start surfing both. I used to give up all the time because I kept trying to surf right hand point break when I’m goofy footed lol.
Before purchasing a board, try to rent one firsts, especially if you're unsure about enjoying surfing. The investment of buying a new board is anywhere from $500-3000 if you want one that’s good quality. On O'ahu, you can rent a board for around $15-20 per day, but I’m sure it’s probably cheaper outside of Hawai’i. I ride a handmedown Sunride pink hibiscus, it’s a fibreglass mini mal hybrid and quite old and beat up, but despite the condition, I don't have any complaints. It’s the only board I've used, aside from trying out other people’s or using rentals. When that gives out, I’ll probably get a custom because I have specific preferences and particular tastes about most stuff lol. I'd suggest researching various board types/models/maintenance. Regardless of the board, it should be kept in a board bag and away from the sun for longevity. Make sure you always rise off the salt.
My favorite swimsuits for surfing are the Grace Reversible and the Joanna set from Visual Mood. I appreciate the conservative designs and that they provide full coverage for the breasts and behind. I notice many swimsuits for women who have smaller chests literally only cover the nipple, which will be impractical for surfing and imo just all around unappealing. The suits I mentioned previously fit my taste perfectly. My friend has a larger chest and she loves the Grace one too! All of my other surf gear, is Billabong or Roxy, basic I know.
Wear a leash, period. If you wipeout and lose hold of your board, the board becomes a weapon of the reef. If you’re not wearing a leash it can severely injure or kill another surfer who is paddling out behind you.
I’m not sure of your location, but Mākaha on O’ahu is a cool place for surfing. Also Waimea Bay, anywhere on the North Shore really.
Try to use reef safe sunscreen. Unfortunately, most sunscreens are not reef safe :( I use Maui surfer honey but idk if it’s available on the mainland or elsewhere. Malama 'Aina.
The newest booming trend is to wear headphones in the water. I’m against it because it’s a huge safety risk, especially if you wipeout. The vestibular system that controls balance is inside the ear and the main skill of surfing is balance control, so what are you doing with stuff inside your ears??? Headphones also distract from the serenity of the ocean and hinder your ability to connect with other people out on the surf, which are two of the best things about surfing.
The worst thing you could ever do while surfing is steal someone else’s wave lol. It’s called “dropping in” and a lot of male surfers will do it to intimidate or antagonize females out of the water. They do this everywhere, not just Hawai’i. Ignore them, they will never own the ocean.
While I don't wish to go pro, I hope to reach a level where I can get barreled at least once, it's on my bucket list and I will probably shed some tears of joy when it happens lol! Surfing can be really relaxing, really exhilarating, or both depending on your style and skill level. Either way, it allows you create a deeper connection with nature and helps you become one with your mana. I hope this information was helpful and good luck!<3 🏄🏽‍♀️🤙🏽
Edit: Also checkout Barefoot Surf on YouTube, they have some helpful videos on there!

With every case
*Authors note| this is my first time writing for Emily Prentiss but god I'd be lying if I said I didn't love her character.I will write how she was intended to be so this will be Emily x fem reader. Hope you all enjoy. Feel free to send requests or prompts for this beautiful women.*
Trigger warnings~ mentions to season for episode 3
Prompt~ all I can say is this was inspire by the song "ceilings by Lizzy McApline"
✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰
What could you say about the absolutely stunning Emily Prentiss? She has won your heart the night you met. The memory one of your favourites, you had decide to walk off the frustrations of your work day, teaching really could be exhausting and after a particularly difficult day you wished for a little peace. A stroll in the nearest park with a hot chocolate sounded wonderful, so that's exactly what you did. You must have got lost in your own mind, because you absolutely did not see the women you bumped into. Your hot chocolate finding its way all over her crisp white blouse. In a flustered panic you looked down in horror not only noticing the mess you had made but how deliciously tight the blouse was, paired with a blazer and some black slacks held up by a side buckled belt. The outfit compliments her raven locks perfectly. You can't help but notice the formal attire suggesting she could be someone of importance. You instantly start to apologise to the women for your clumsiness and offer to pay for the dry cleaning bill.
You're kinda cute
That night Emily had been feeling amazing, just catching the unsub who had the team working like crazy for days. She was heading home to Sergio and for a rest, but instead she bumped into you. Her fault really, on her phone shooting a text off to Garcia about some files when the collision occurred. She thought she'd be mad, but the look of your clearly panicked face somehow took the anger away. You were adorable. And suddenly her plans changed.
That night you had gone to get another drink, Emily joining you and you both strolled around the park together, sometimes chatting and others in a comfortable silence. It was lovely to be strolling around with Emily, the rain started to fall and you couldn't help but groan, you had to walk back to your apartment before you were soaked to the bone. With another apology and exchange of numbers you parted ways.
And it feels like the start of a movie I've seen before
✰ ✰ ✰ ✰
From that night, you and Emily had texted back and forth, you found out that she was a member of the BAU and that made meeting up extremely hard, but after a few months you had become official. Neither of you could be happier, although you would always worry when Emily was away on a case. Never knowing if she would be hurt or even worse killed. But it was her job, her team and you could see the love she holds for them. Each member holding a special place of her heart. While she was away you went to check on Sergio for her and he provided you with comfort when she couldn't.
This one particular night, Emily had the night off, you were both snuggled up in bed, Sergio resting in the middle of both of your legs sleeping. A show running in the background as you soaked up each others affection and presence. Finally at peace with Emily home and safe.
It was the ringing of her phone that popped the bubble. Duty calls. You watched as her face fell, you knew this would be a bad case. Instantly she was up and racing to get ready for work with you following on her tail. She hung the call up and managed to briefly explain, she was going to meet the team at the air craft so she had some time, not a lot but more than what she would've had. You offered to drive her, desperately trying to spend every ounce of time with her you could. She accepted and as you drove she never took her gaze off you. "Em? Are you profiling me right now?" You chucked slightly forced as you attempted to hide your sadness at the situation.
"I don't want to leave you Y/N, but I have to go duty calls" she murmured moving her hand to cover yours that lay on the gear stick. You nodded and mumbled "I know Em. Just stay safe for me yes? Come home to me Emily." Your voice wavering on the last few words, a dead give away to your emotions. You pulled up outside of where the air craft was. The team all ready and waiting, you were expecting her to hurry out the car without a second glance. Yet Emily Prentiss was always full of surprises, she gently held your chin and guided her lips to yours. It was over before it had even started, with a mumbled promise to return and one more quick peck to your lips she was gone. Running off head first into danger, you knew she'd lay her life down on the line for any of her team, truthfully you had become close with the team and didn't wish any of them to be injured but knowing Emily would throw herself in front of them in the face of danger scared you. You can't lose her. You love her, you love her and you'd never even told her yet. No she had to come home to you.
And I don't wanna leave but I have to go
Then you kiss me in your car and it feels like the start of a movie I've seen before
✰ ✰ ✰ ✰
This case seemed to drag on for days. Those days turning into weeks. You managed to grab a few spare minutes with Emily before she was rushed off into the field. You lay in your bed reminiscing how her touch felt, how she would hold you and whisper the most beautiful heartfelt words as you fell asleep. In those moments it's was just the two of you, lovely to just lay together and bask in the comfort you provided each other.
Lovely to just lay here with you
You're kinda cute and I would say all of this
ButI don't wanna ruin the moment
Lovely to sit between comfort and chaos
But it's over
The news playing for background noise caught your attention in that moment, the case Emily was working. An FBI agent in the building with the unsub. Your heart dropped instantly knowing it would be Emily. Your phone ringing was the confirmation. Garcia was given the job of informing you, reassuring you that the team would get her. That she would come home to you. But the fear that this was all over was too strong. You can't lose Emily now.
For days you waited to know she was safe, back home in your arms. Each passing day your mind was concocting different scenarios where she was mortally wounded or worse. Dead. What would life be without her? You didn't want it. You wanted Emily safe, with you, forever. To drive home together, to love each other and one day make her your wife. And that's the thoughts that pulled you into a restless slumber.
Then you're drivin' me home
And it kinda comes out as I get up to go
You kiss me in your car
And it feels like the start of a movie I've seen before
But it's not real
And you don't exist
And I can't recall the last time I was kissed
It was the keys in the door that pulled you from your slumber. Tears stained your cheeks and sobs wrecked your body. She was gone. All you had is the memories of her lips on yours, you both tangled in bedsheets or holding her hand strolling around the park. Spilling your drink on her that very first night.
And it feels like the end of a movie I've seen before.
A pair of arms wrap around your shaking form and the familiar scent engulfs you. Emily! You scramble to see her gasping in shock at her condition. "It's worse than it looks angel" she murmurs as she wipes the stray tears from your cheeks, "I've missed you. I'll always come home to you no matter what" she promised with a kiss on your lips. Unsure if you were dreaming, if she was real, your hands sought out her cheeks, gently cupping them carful of the bruising. "God Em, what happened? It was you wasn't it?" You whispered already knowing the answer. She nodded before nuzzling into your palms. "Me and Reid yes. I did it to protect him Y/N and It was my choice and I would choose it again. You protect family. Did Garcia call?"
"She did" you confirmed still drinking in her presence. She was really home. "They got the message" she sighed almost relieved that they had followed her wish. You couldn't help but surge forward and pull her into a gentle kiss. "I love you Emily Prentiss" you mumbled against her lips. The smile that spread across your lips when she said it back made all of this worth it. Your story wouldn't be perfect and you knew that. But knowing you loved each other made it worth while.

My reactions as I watch 16.9 (I know I'm gonna hate this but here we go)
Also: I realized right before the start of this episode that I get to cross "Penelope calls Luke a nickname" off my Garvez bingo card because of "my liege," so you know what? A win is a win.
One minute in and I'm already on the verge of tears because of Krystall. But at least I'm also crossing "flashback to the missing time between seasons" off my bingo card!
Emily you have no right to look that gorgeous in this sad of a scene
Scratch that I'm not on the verge of tears, I'm actually crying. "I couldn't watch them put the coffin in the ground" GODDAMMIT
"Do you think she'll forgive me?" IT IS TOO FUCKING EARLY IN THE MORNING TO BE CRYING THIS HARD
Have we... ever seen Rossi cry before? Like, I know he was sad when Carolyn died, but did he cry? Because how hard he's crying right now is tearing my heart to absolute shreds.
"His name is agent David Rossi" Elias: FUCK that's not good
How tf is he gonna spin that Rossi is dangerous????
Tara you look stunning and I adore you
OH FUCK VOIT IS RIGHT THERE
Oh god another flashback... am I ready for this?
May 2022... and an Al-Anon meeting? Who????
Oh my god, this is how Tara and Rebecca met? And they have almost identical backstories, that's really heartbreaking.
"I have to work on myself first." Did you do that, Rebecca? How well did it work for you?
Tara and Rebecca's first-ever interaction was kind of adorable ngl
Tara, babes, did YOU of all people automatically assume her ex was a man? You, a pansexual? Who has canonically dated men and women in the past?
Rebecca standing up for the BAU??? I love to see it
Bless you, Emily, for giving Tara and Rebecca the time to talk alone
Rebecca's moving to Sacramento and I'm crying again because I just want Tara to be happy. (Tara please go cry to Luke so I can get some Platonic TarVez moments and then go make out with Emily, please I beg)
"Goodbye, darling." OUCH. WHAT THE FUCK. THAT WAS BRUTAL.
I'm actually really liking this episode so far, I'm sure that won't last though.
Sicarius saying "I've read every single one of your books" is probably going to mess with Rossi for a bit, especially since we know because of the original series that Gideon warned him something like this could happen, that Rossi was essentially writing manuals on how to get away with it.
The way he mentioned acid, which is the stuff in the last kill kit. I wonder if Sicarius is intentionally giving things away or if he doesn't know how much they know
Okay the fact that Sicarius is sometimes pulling inspiration directly from Rossi's books is going to haunt him
"Every time you write one of these books you have to be careful how much detail you include, because if you're not careful... you're giving a wannabe killer rules for killing." DID I NOT JUST SAY
"I'd almost feel sorry for that poor son of a bitch. Almost." Unpopular opinion: I love David Rossi
Sicarius mentioning Rossi's wives is gonna fuck with him
I wanna know what it is that Elias gave Rossi to "prove" he's not Sicarius
Every time Luke and Penelope are together in a frame, even if it's just for 2 seconds, I hold on to it because I need Garvez crumbs in my life
Penelope why did you LOOK OVER AT LUKE when JJ mentioned Tyler Green??????
GARCIA I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU BRING GREEN INTO THIS WHILE YOU ARE STANDING RIGHT BESIDE THE MAN WHO'S BEEN IN LOVE WITH FOR SEVEN YEARS I'M GONNA SCREAM
GODDAMMIT
The fact that Will brought in Tyler Green has me imagining that phone call from JJ, and even though JJ doesn't know everything, it's kinda funny with the context. Kinda.
I am really dreading this scene though.
Ngl that "Alvez and I" both broke my heart (bc she's not calling him "Luke") and made it soar (bc I'm taking CRUMBS)
Well, FUCK. Either Tyler Green can't identify him... or Sicarius has something on him to prevent him from identifying him. Maybe the rest of his family, like Alison's kid... or maybe Garcia? (I really want Green to be a bad dude)
The looks Luke just gave between Garcia and Green... I'm sure he's figuring it out.
Wow, Luke actually getting more than a line at once? I didn't realize the CME writers knew how to do that past the first two episodes (/s)
This little showdown between Luke and Green... I'm kind of here for it
Nooooooooooooooo Garcia do not talk to him alone, I don't want to see this!
Okay, Luke totally knows. The hatred/anger/jealousy is RADIATING off him when he looks at Green. Even when he looked at Garcia as he left. God, I hate this. If the last flashback does actually end up being the Garvez date... I'm gonna cry
"Luke is blunt, but he's not off-target" YES!!! DEFEND YOUR MAN!!!
TYLER GREEN LET GO OF HER HAND I DO NOT WANT YOU HERE
My heart is POUNDING right now, I'm so worried
Okay, I will admit, Elias is spinning a really convincing story
OH GOD DID GARCIA SEND ROSSI A VOICE MEMO MEANT FOR GREEN????
oh god oh god oh god
wait. wait wait. what if Garcia sent that message to Green, who then either made it into a phishing link and sent it to Rossi or he forwarded it to Elias who did that.
TYLER EVIL CANON?????
TYLER GREEN WHAT IN THE EVER-LOVING FUCK ARE YOU DOING WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Wait a goddamn minute... a Tyler flashback?
Tyler Green, what in the actual goddamn hell are you doing?
Oh god, with everything that Elias told his wife, when she sees Rossi in the grocery store aisle, she's gonna freak out
Going back for the alcohol 😂 valid
Rossi I know what you're trying to do, but laying out Sydney's entire life for her is NOT going to make her trust you, it's just going to make her wary of you
HE DID NOT JUST TELL HER SHE'S THE REASON ELIAS IS A SUCCESSFUL KILLER, ROSSI MY DUDE THAT IS FUCKED UP
Oh god are we about to have Luke confront Garcia about seeing Tyler Green? My heart isn't ready. (wait fuck I just remembered that in one of the Garvez ads of social media the caption was "our hearts aren't ready." IS THIS WHAT THEY MEANT???) My heart is POUNDING
"Yikes, you mean it, mean it." LUKE STOP BEING ADORABLE WHEN I KNOW MY HEART IS ABOUT TO BREAK AND SO IS YOURS
Oh god if Luke didn't know before then he definitely knows now. I'm actually shaking.
"We need to talk, you and me." Hanging on to Garvez crumbs even though I know I will be sobbing in the next five minutes
JEALOUS LUKE CANON??? FINALLY???
"Come on, him?" jealous Luke canon and my heart is breaking
"He is marvelous in bed" DID YOU REALLY JUST SAY THAT TO LUKE??? TO LUKE???
Luke trying desperately not to imagine her in bed
"And I need a friend and you're the only one" YEAH AND HE'S ALSO KIND OF YOUR EX, BABES
"Sounds like I'm the last one." OUCH. OUCH. OUCH.
"I just gotta say one thing, all right?" oh god it's gonna be something about them and I'm not okay
"You sure know how to pick 'em." Okay, not what I expected
GARCIA YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP
That scene was ATROCIOUS. But at the same time... weirdly cathartic? I mean it has effectively ruined any hopes I have of Garvez happening, if there were any remaining at all, but at least now I have closure? Sort of?
"Well maybe I am devolving. My career is over, what the hell have I got to lose?" ROSSI WHAT?????? HUH????
Okay, as much as this episode is killing me a bit, I do actually really like it. Like... it's probably the best writing they can do with the shit storylines they've been set up with
Rossi, HOW could you have thought that this was a good idea?
Ooh, and Elias flashback! This is gonna be interesting.
We still have yet to see the third team member flashback, and I'm almost certain it is in fact going to be the Garvez date and I am not ready, but at least I'll have correctly guessed who the three were.
I have to do a separate block of text now, i've written so many notes😂
Look, I know people aren't the biggest fans of Rossi and were kind of upset that we were getting a Rossi-centric episode, but I do not mind. Yes, I'd like a focus on other characters (Luke and Tara) but I still like Rossi.
Okay, so is Tyler Green evil, or is he just hunting down Sicarius to kill him himself? Because if he is evil... I kinda wanna see what happens to Garcia. Who she turns to. Because right now Luke is the only one who really knows everything, and he understandably does not seem like he's in a very comforting mood
Garcia's about to play the message for the entire team and then they're all going to know but it might reveal if Green is actually bad or not. This is giving me flashbacks though to when Scratch cloned Garcia's phone to lure Morgan out.
Lol watch Emily have to suspend Garcia and then the old character who comes back is KEVIN 😂😂😂
EMILY KNOWSSSSSSSSSS
EVERYBODY KNOWSSSSSSSSSSS
(Please give me a Platonic TarVez scene of Tara comforting Luke PLEASE i beg)
Are we about to get our Missing Character Cameo or is it just going to be Will?
"I have to take a leak" "Too bad" did I laugh out loud at this
Elias roasting Rossi about being old is SENDING ME 😂😂😂
Tyler Green what are you doinggggg
Okay so Will and JJ in the field together, I kind of love, but the fact then that since they're obviously sitting beside each other because they're literally married means that GARVEZ Garcia and Luke are sitting beside each other... the tension in that jet must be palpable
TYLER GREEN EVIL CANON???? FR???
Okay so no, I was right, Green is just trying to get to Voit first.
"He looked me right in my face and he lied to me." Garcia, absolutely no one feels bad for you right now.
"Which is what I get for falling for someone with an avoidant attachment style" GIRL YOU'VE KNOWN HIM FOR LIKE 2 WEEKS AND YOU'RE ALREADY SAYING YOU'VE FALLEN FOR HIM???
At least if Garvez is over then Greencia seems to be pretty over too
Luke comforting her anyway... god he really is still in love with her, huh? I mean, this is now how I thought I'd get to cross "she's crying and he comforts her" off my bingo card, but I'll take it
Okay I keep bouncing back and forth on if Green is a bad guy or not
DID ROSSI JUST SPIT IN SICARIUS'S FACE??????????
TYLER GREEN WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU DOING?
GREEN JUST GOT SHOT GODDAMN
Well Greencia's DEFINITELY over now
IT'S THE GARVEZ DATE FLASHBACK AM I READY I THINK THE FUCK NOT
Although this does allow me to cross off "flashback to the Garvez date" off my CME bingo card and "details about their date" off my Garvez bingo card, both things I thought would never happen
Why is it so awkward 😭
Luke is so dressed up I love him
ohh fuck I knew it was Covid that messed them up. Hey, Luke word of advice, don't talk about weird viruses on a first date
"It's not like the world's gonna shut down." well that aged poorly
I hate this I actually hate this why is this so weird
Luke ordering two more glasses of wine for himself I don't whether to laugh or cry. Probably both.
"It felt so good when you asked me out but I'm finding this to be very clunky" @snailsandpuppy-dogtails HOW IN GOD'S FUCKING NAME DID YOU PREDICT THIS ALMOST ENTIRELY IN YOUR TARVEZ BEER FIC
"What were we thinking?" YOU WERE THINKING THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE AND HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS, GODDAMMIT
"Can I share my truth with you?" "When have you ever not" I'M SORRY THAT'S ADORABLE
"I find it very hard to have a conversation with you when I am not dunking on you" that is a LIE. That is a LIE. I have RECEIPTS.
"With us, there absolutely is something there but not that." LIES. LIES. ALL OF IT.
This is making me so upset because there is not an actual world where they would not work out, this is absolute bullshit
"I know that your person is out there" YEAH AND IT'S YOU STFU
"I know that my person is out there" YEAH AND IT'S HIM STFU
"Where?" He desperately wants this to work out and my heart is breaking
"To finding the right person" NO. YOU FOUND THEM. YOU FOUND EACH OTHER. FIRST DATES ARE AWKWARD. IT HAPPENS. WHY WOULD YOU LET THAT STOP FOUR YEARS OF PINING OVER HER????
Why would they show us that scene out of nowhere? Like, Luke and Garcia weren't present before it started and now we're back in the field, it doesn't make a lot of sense.
I know my Garvez hopes should be crushed... but I can't help but think/hope that maybe this is setting up for them to try again
The audacity this episode has to be the most and least Garvez-y
Luke still looking out for Garcia and Green now... and him calling Green "Lieutenant..." the world does not deserve this man
Noooooooooooooo I thought Greencia was over but she's talking about having a future with him 😭😭😭
REBECCA HOLDING TARA'S HAND 😭😭😭
And now they know Rossi's been kidnapped
Overall thoughts? Not bad. I mean I hate how awkward the Garvez date was, and I don't like Greencia, but overall... this wasn't really that bad of an episode.

Hello, I hope you're doing well!! I am in love with your writing, it's absolutely remarkable.
Could you write a bottom James Patrick March × Top Male reader where James is exploring his sexuality with reader who is one of his maids?
Thank you sm <33
A/N: Thank you for the compliment first off and yes, of course I can write this.
Word Count: 2,433
Pairing: sub!James Patrick March x dom!male!maid!Reader
Warning: Smut, hickies, mentions of murder, slight pain kink, handjob, oral sex, anal sex
Summary: You find yourself being one of James' favorites and he requests a different favor you're more than willing to indulge in with him.
Tumblr media
You had been speaking with Ms. Evers, trying your best to follow through with your job as one of Mr. March's devoted maids. You sighed as you finally finished all the work you were told to do and walked to the Blue Parrot Lounge, hoping for a refreshing drink. However, once you made it to your destination, you felt a tap on your shoulder. "Excuse me," James said from behind you.
You tried your best to control your excitement from hearing the man's charming voice. Everyone always noticed the tension between the two of you and the unspoken chemistry that you had. You turned around, a smile on your face as you looked at the handsome man before you. "How may I help you, Mr. March?" He grabbed your hand before whispering in your ear.
"We need to talk privately in my office. I'll be there whenever you're ready." He moved away from you, walking away. You watched as he walked away and wondered what he needed to talk with you for. Had you done anything wrong? Your mind filled with panic and you asked Liz for a drink, hoping the alcohol would calm your nerves. "What's wrong, honey? You look petrified."
You sighed, taking a sip of your drink before looking up at her. "I feel like I may be in trouble with him. Did you see me do anything wrong?" She scoffed before laughing in response. "Sweetie, you can't be this clueless. It's obvious that Mr. March is experiencing a sexual panic every time he's around you. Do you pay attention to the way he always calls you for favors and nobody else? You're his favorite." You wanted to deny it but just as you thought about it, everything she'd said made perfect sense.
James would always call you whenever he wanted anything and Ms. Evers would always be jealous of you. His eyes would twinkle every time he looked at you and whenever he touched you or looked at you, it lasted a little bit longer than you'd expect. You finished your drink as you thought about the possibility of James Patrick March having a crush on you.
"Liz, wish me luck. I'm about to go talk to him." You finished off your drink, placing the glass on the table. "You got it in the bag," she encouraged, a smile plastered on her face. You walked through the many halls until you met room 64. You knocked on the door, seeing James in front of you and opening the door. "Come in." You felt nervous as you watched him lock it, wondering if he'd kill you.
"Sit anywhere you like." You sat in one of the chairs, watching as he sat down in front of you. "So, I have no idea if you're aware of this but I am quite fond of you more than any other person here. What I'm going to ask of you is utterly inappropriate considering I'm your boss and I will not be upset if you reject the request completely."
"Mr. March--" "James, you can call me James." You felt butterflies in your stomach at the privilege. "James, could you please just ask the question. You could probably ask me to do anything for you and I'd say yes." He chuckled at that, a slight blush coming over his face. "As you know, I've only courted with women and never men but I find myself having an attraction to the same sex as I would a woman. " You nodded quietly.
"Never know if you try, right," you joked. "That's actually what you're here for." Your eyes lit up at the suggestion and you wondered if he was serious. "Are you playing around or are you serious?" He stood up, walking around until he was behind you, his breath on the shell of your ear. "I've never lied to you in all the time being I've known you and you darling, are far too handsome and beautiful for me to toy with."
You felt yourself slightly harden at his words. "You want to experiment with me," you questioned. "Yes, I need to carry out my hypothesis and see if it's true. You don't feel uncomfortable with that, do you?" You swallowed a lump in your throat and looked at him. "No, I'm fine with that."
He could see the emotion on your face and tilted your chin up before kissing you. You didn't know what it ignited you but his lips against yours drove you insane. His lips were soft and the kiss started off as gentle, sweet, and tender. You raised up from the seat and got up, breaking the kiss in the process. "How long have you felt this way," you asked, removing your clothing.
"A few months after employing you," he said, already throwing some of his clothes off. “Why didn’t you tell me?” He smiled, now fully naked before you. “I was nervous that I’d ruin our relationship and that you wouldn’t reciprocate my feelings for you.” You felt your blood rush to your nether regions as you looked at the sight before you. You hadn’t meant to stare at him for long but you couldn’t help it. His abs and muscles were perfect and you saw a cute happy trail leading to his long and pretty cock.
You hadn’t expected what you saw but you were more than happy with it. “Lay on the bed for me,” you said confidently. You watched as he did as you asked, not saying a word to you for the way you spoke to him. “I hope you enjoy your time being in control. It is not a privilege many get from me,” he said, making himself comfortable. “Really, why?” He smiled at you. “Darling, don’t tell me you don’t already know. It’s because I am not easy to control.” 
You smiled as you seductively walked towards him. “That’s about to change,” you said, your voice slightly deeper and smoother than usual. When you were finally in front of him, you looked over his body and inhaled. “How far have you experimented with a man?” He looked at your eyes then your lips. This was the most flustered you’d ever seen him. “I haven’t. I only kissed you a short while ago.” You were a bit surprised that he hadn’t done anything with a man. You understood that James would always openly date women and that he never did anything in public with a man. But something about him made you feel that he at least gave in to the idea once. You put your hands around his thighs, feeling him tense. 
“Relax and lay back. I’m going to try to see what all you like.” He laid down, his head hitting the soft pillows. You crawled into the bed on top of him, starting to kiss him around his neck and collarbone area. You heard him moan and groan, his breath hitching whenever you kissed a certain spot. You learned quickly and assumed it was his sweet spot. The reactions he provided you only proved you right. He started to buck up against you, trying to get some sort of relief. You slapped his thigh and you heard him groan. “You like being smacked around, James?”
“Possibly,” he responded, a smile on his lips. “Noted.” You kissed lower and lower until you were finally where he wanted you the most. You wrapped your hand around his length, taking your time as you jerked him off. You watched as he bit his lip, trying his best not to let out a sound. “No, let me hear you,” you said, still concentrating on his reactions. When you finally heard the beautiful noises he tried to contain slip from his mouth, you found yourself more turned on than you’d ever been before. You lowered your head, wanting to grant him the pleasure he’d wanted so badly. You heard him curse and you silently congratulated yourself for it. James was never one to use vulgar language and you just made him do so.
You used your hands on the part of him that you couldn’t fit into your mouth, which drove him insane. You did your best to remember what patterns felt the best, making your mouth work in favor of James’ pleasure. You continued to bob your head, doing your best to breathe while you did it. Pretty soon, you could feel him twitch. You immediately lifted your head and popped off of him. “What are you doing, dearest?” You smiled at him as you lined him up with your opening and prepared to sink down. “Don’t you want to cum inside of me, Mr. March?” You saw a new shade of lust in his eyes at the name. “What did I tell you about calling me that?” You got up from the bed and rummaged through some of your clothes before finding lube. You then went back before lubing up your hole and lowering yourself onto him, starting at a slow pace.
“Don’t mm, act like you don’t like it.” You let out various moans and groans at the feeling of him stretching you out as you bounced. He did too, his sounds soft and smoother than yours. You knew that it wouldn’t take much for the others in the hotel to know what the two of you were doing but you didn’t have the ability to care at the moment. How could you when you were on top of such a beautiful man all for your use who liked it as much as you did? So as you looked down at him, his head on the pillows and his eyes facing the ceiling, you wrapped your hand around his neck gently and watched as his eyes bored into yours.
“Y/N,” he moaned repeatedly, his face thoroughly flushed and his eyes blown. You could feel him twitching inside of you and you felt him wrap his hand around your length. “No, James. This is about ugh, your pleasure.” He didn’t remove his hand, only stroking you faster and making you tremble from his touch. “Fuck, Mr. March.” The two of you met your peaks at the same time and you tried your best to come down from it. You grabbed the lube, raising up off of him and laying beside him. You kissed his cheek. “You have enough energy for another round,” you asked, already knowing the answer. 
“Darling, you know I am a ghost. I never tire.” You moved to where you were in between his legs and grabbed him enough to where he spread out for you. “I take that as a yes.” You put some lube on your fingers and slid one inside of him. “How does it feel?” You accidentally went a bit deeper and his words died in his throat, letting out a pornographic moan. “Good, very good.” You then decided to slide another one of your fingers inside of him,  When he was stretched out enough for your liking, you lubed up your cock and his opening before closing it and throwing the container on the ground. 
“This may hurt a bit but then again, you do enjoy pain,” you said, just above a mumble. He didn’t reply but by the change in his facial expression, you knew that he heard what you’d said. “Will it be bad,” he asked, slight concern in his voice. “Baby, you have nothing to worry about. If you could barely feel pain when you were alive, I don’t think you’d feel anything now.” He simply nodded and you found yourself giggling at him. “What are you laughing at?” “You’re so adorable and cute right now.” He rolled his eyes at you and you slapped his thigh. “Don’t roll your eyes at me. I’m still in charge.”
“My apologies,” he responded. “Don’t do it again.” You lined up with his tight hole, being overly gentle as you slid inside of him. He didn’t speak until you were halfway in.  “Give me a moment.” You did just that until he gave you a warning to continue. You did an experimental thrust and heard a groan from him. You took that as a sign to continue and placed his legs around your waist as you started to fuck him. His arms wrapped around your shoulders, his lips kissing your neck. He sucked multiple hickies there, causing your strokes to be rougher and deeper.
You then decided to do something different, watching as his head lowered and he was on the pillows. You lowered your face next to his, then proceeded to nibble on the sensitive skin of his ear. You felt his grip on you become tighter, his eyes rolling at the action. “Fuck,” he cursed. You started to hit his prostate over and over again, the two of you both close to your release. You wrapped your hand around his cock, stroking it in time with your thrusts. He started to tremble and you started to twitch inside of him. You then kissed him, the feeling of him clenching around you too much to bear.
With a few more thrusts, you were filling him up with your seed and marking up every bit of exposed skin you could get to. He soon followed after you, scratching your back and shoulders as he did so. After you rode out your highs and pulled out from him, you laid on his chest, loving the feeling of him playing with your hair. “So, what did you decide?” He kissed your forehead. “I believe that the only man that I have these feelings and attractions towards is you. So, I’m definitely not just attracted to women and I don’t want what happened between us to only happen once. I want you to be mine.”
You raised up at that, a smile of joy covering your face. “Yeah?” “Yes, my dearest. But, if you’re going to spend time with me as much as I want you to, I’ll need a different maid.” You huffed at the thought. “Are you experiencing jealousy already, my love?” You nodded. 
“Can’t you just increase everyone’s shift?” He looked at you for a moment, thinking to himself. “I think you should be over the maids from now on. After all, you were the best and my favorite.” The more time you spent with him, the more you enjoyed it. By the end of the day, you realized that someone may just have to kill you so you can enjoy the love of your life forever.

Longer thoughts on Sonic Prime, now that I've had a few days to sit on it. Under a cut because of length / those who don't care / spoilers / whatever else.
Like I said before, I thought it was fine. It's definitely not a bad show by any stretch and I think that younger kids who are perhaps new to Sonic / only know Sonic from the movies / don't know Sonic at all but want to watch a new cartoon will enjoy it. I can't fully explain why it didn't pull me in. It could be the fact that I binged all of it partly out of obligation because I felt like I had to watch it as soon as possible to avoid spoilers, so I didn't give myself time to just pace through the show normally. But I mean, I've binged other things and loved them (see: season four of The Dragon Prince), so I don't think that's exactly it. I think it's more to do with the writing, but before I talk about that I want to talk about some things I did like about it, first.
The vocal performances were, for the most part, excellent. Knuckles' VA was kind of . . . eh . . . at times, and it's very hard to separate Tails / Nine / etc from Rainbow Dash, but Devon Mack absolutely KILLED IT as Sonic, which is a big deal since Sonic is the main character of the show. I wouldn't mind Devon taking the lead on voicing Sonic in other projects, because he did a very good job. So happy for him, especially since he was a fan of Sonic before landing the gig.
The animation was very good too. I like the little animal quirks the characters were given, such as ear twitches and whatnot, and it was fun to see Sonic so expressive when he's supposed to be an expressive / emotive guy. The action sequences were easy to follow and nicely done too; it's a very fun show to look at, you can tell the animators had a good time with what they were doing.
I noticed some musical callbacks to the games at times that made me, a nerd, pretty happy. There weren't too many of them, but there were enough that it was a "oh hi there" moment when I caught them.
I like how Rouge has been handled for the most part, from her having outfits that are more legitimate outfits to her having little quirks like sleeping like the bat she is. I will say I think she should've been the captain in the pirate saga, but like, whatever, I like that even though she's clearly there so they could have more than one girl in the cast, she's still being treated with respect overall.
Miles "Nine" Prower and Rusty Rose are my beloveds. The rest of the cast I could take or leave, but those two are my morally grey, ruthless babies and I love them so much.
Now for the writing . . . I think my main issue is that, outside of Nine and Rusty, I feel like I haven't been given much reason to care. Like, yeah, Sonic is having a hard time—but Sonic is always having a hard time and he always pulls through so it's like, whatever, he'll be fine. He's been infected with a metal virus, he's been cyber corrupted, he's going to get vivisected in Scrapnik 3 next week, he's always having some kind of issue, and he always ends up fine, so I'm not too invested in that. Insert a variant of the time knife meme like "yeah yeah Sonic having a bad time we've all seen it." Like that just doesn't capture my interest much anymore. Sonic emotionally going through it, mayhaps, but physically? Nah.
But like, where Nine and Rusty have interesting stories and characterization and circumstances to me (Nine being ruthless and morally grey, Rusty potentially gaining her own agency and personhood and hopefully still killing people along the way because she deserves it and I'm here for women's wrongs), I just can't say the same about the others. The Eggman council is just—if I can be unabashedly negative here, I hate the entire concept. It's so cartoonish and stupid. Which, I know this is a cartoon, but for a dystopian universe it feels over the top ridiculous to have a fucking baby and moody teenager and whatever else, not to mention OoC for any version of Eggman to want to share power with anyone, even other versions of himself. And "Mr" and "Dr" are both prefixes (with "Dr" denoting more respect than "Mr") so to have them layered as "Mr Dr Eggman" is just so stupid and irritating—
But I digress.
So I don't care about the Eggman council, and despite spending more time with them I don't see enough depth or potential for rebel Rouge and rebel Knuckles to really care too much about them either. Putting aside my irritation at jungle Tails being called "mangey" even though he doesn't have mange (mange is an actual skin disorder in animals and he clearly doesn't have it, just call him FERAL, that's what he ACTUALLY IS), I felt the jungle episodes were just kind of a slog to get through even though watching Amy yeet the others out of the forest with her hammer was pretty funny. (although, missed opportunity calling her Thorn instead of Briar, you know, like Briar Rose.) It's not helped by the fact that we only spent two episodes there, so there's not time to give more depth to the characters—but with two episodes already feeling like a slog, more might've been worse? It's hard to say. And with the pirate episodes, again, they didn't really get my attention until Rusty showed up. That's when things got more interesting, for me. Otherwise, I just didn't feel much of a reason to care about these variants. It seems to be much less "here's how these characters naturally would have developed in these circumstances" and more "hehe hoho fun costumes yay :)" with Nine and Rusty being the exceptions to that rule.
A lot of this has to do with the fact that, I'm not the target audience for this show. Yes, I'm a Sonic fan—but this is a show that's clearly intended for a younger audience, one that's perhaps not that interested in Sonic lore, and that's fine! Not everything is going to be for me. I am not a fan of the Archie comics, for example, from what little I know of them. I'm not interested in Sonic X. I think SatAM is overrated, so on and so forth. I do enjoy the movies for what they are, but mostly because a.) I'm glad they weren't a trash fire, and b.) I am ALWAYS going to be drawn in by found family of any type for reasons relating to being raised on AoStH and also my own messed up childhood / adolescence. But I don't have to love every single piece of Sonic media just because I'm a Sonic fan. As I've said, the great thing about Sonic is that there's something for everyone. Prime isn't really for me (outside of Nine and Rusty), and that's OK. I'm cool with that.
But that said, I do think that there are places where the writing could be improved. There are places where the dialogue feels clunky (as in, "people don't talk like this"). There are names of variants I take issue with. And I think that if a bit more thought was put into WHY the characters are the way they are other than "jungle people" or "pirates" it would be better. But little kids aren't going to care about that, and little kids are the ones this show is for, so again. It's not a big deal. And at the end of the day it's not something I'm going to lose sleep over.
I will probably still watch season two, just so I can see how Nine and Rusty develop. If they weren't in the show, I probably wouldn't bother lol. But since they are, I will Do It For Them. Nine and Rusty, my beloveds.
But yeah, those are my thoughts. It's OK. Not really my thing, but I don't hate it either. Would take a whole spinoff about Nine and Rusty, though. Let Nine say fuck. Let Rusty murder. It's what they deserve.

one piece liveblog chapters 813-814
ayyy
813
liiiiisten this is some of my favorite shit. like, the trope where a big reveal happens in front of other characters and they react to it and stuff? delicious.
'you think I know or care about your family issues?' hvbajhdfbajskdfhb bege
sanji being so blindsided is hhhhh delicious
BROOO the flashback to jaya (!) with sanji mentioning he's from north blue and brook pointing out he'd had to have traveled over to red line to end up in east blue....hello!!!! insane forshadowing my god
tbh I don't think oda had this planned from the beginning, or even from when he put that in jaya - it was such a small moment that it could've easily remained as is and it wouldn't have been a plot hole or anything
buuut I think oda did a great job leaving a lot of avenues open to do exactly this - expand on an existing character in a major way without it feeling cheap or sudden
like, I absolutely believe that sanji had a second secret tragic backstory that he never mentioned before. that makes complete sense in the context of the story!
yeeeeah pretty obvious (at least to the reader?) that sanji has been chosen for an arranged political marriage to unite the vinsmokes and big mom - though it also has the effect of linking the strawhats to big mom thru sanji as well. uh oh!
I'm soooo glad that the whole arranged marriage thing was played straight and there was no question of sanji potentially leaving the crew for a marriage bc he loves women sm or whatever. I was afraid it was gonna get treated as a joke/gag but thank godddd that wasn't the case and the arc was too serious for that 🙏🏼
like even here, there's no moment of sanji being like 'ohhh a woman oooh' he str8 up says 'I'm not marrying someone I've never met'
and like. ugh I wish sanji's character was less 'creepy and weird abt women' and more 'romantic about love.' that would be sooo interesting here, bc I DO think sanji is a romantic at heart and that's part of why he would never accept an arranged marriage, but also still wants to try to make it work/holds out hope that they could be compatible, etc
sanji saying luffy's gonna be pirate king 🙏🏼😭😭
lmfao sanji saying whatever take caesar we're leaving. yea ditch that chucklefuck
honestly love bege he's great here as a villain and I love his gangster theme and I really like his character arc during wci
vito is one of at least 2 Tongue Guys in this arc lmao
mannnn what did he say to sanji??????
honestly the emperors are hype as FUCK especially at this point in the story where we haven't directly dealt with them much...
sanji leaving the note and saying he never meant to hide anything from them....hhhhhh and its TRUE he seems like he genuinely never thought he'd have to deal with the vinsmokes ever again, let alone be used as a pawn in a political marriage by them
and pulling the classic move where he's like 'I have to resolve this by myself' oh babey buckle up time for a rescue arc fuck yes
the way he just yeets them out of bege lmao
no rights for caesar lmao good
MANNNNN SANJI BEING SO COOL...I love when sanji is written well wwwww
him threatening caesar, who they need alive, and deducing that the reason his bounty poster says 'alive only' is bc of this wedding thing, so they can't really harm him...yummmm
sanji quickly doing the math and realizing that giving himself up here is the only way to strike a bargain and make sure his crew is safe 😭 dude aughghhhh
and surely he feels extra responsible bc he's in charge of their little group while the rest of the crew is in dressrosa
they call bege godfather, love it
nekomamushi is sooo fucking cool I love his fangs
dangggg bege just lying and saying one of jack's men killed/injured pekoms
AUGHHH i looove the panel of sanji smiling and telling the crew he'll be back ;_; mannnn
fr looks like he's about to die horribly and knows it tho damn.
and of course he says 'this is my problem' bc he doesn't want to burden the crew, or put them in danger, so he sees it as something he has to resolve on his own
yeah okay like that worked out so well for nami and robin lol c'mon sanji of course luffy isn't gonna let that happen
and his note oughghhghh. so badass and casual and also just 👀👀
SO HYPE. MY GOD
814
KUREHA AND DALTON WWWWW DRUM ISLAND AWWWH
brook should 100% sing random exposition and filler stuff more often plsss
ok so pekoms didn't die. I figured lol
nekomamushi running after the catnip hvbhajksdfbjksfdn
LMFAOOOO brook making stuff up for his song abt nekomamushi....valid
bro I love luffy so much he's like oh cool sanjis gonna get married but he said he's coming back, I wonder if he'll bring his wife, that's chill
hhhhhhhhhh everyone can see that sanji is throwing himself on the sword to keep the straw hats out of it, and him claiming he'll return is hopeful at best - but of course luffy wouldn't see that bc to him there's no question that sanji wouldn't be part of the crew
awwwh chopper crying :(
zoro acting all blunt and uncaring...ohhhh I have so many thoughts about this
I do think zoro really DOES think sanji can handle himself and doesn’t necessarily need their help - tho that doesn’t turn out to be the case
I love too that zoro immediately backs up his attitude with facts - they just put themselves right in kaido's line of fire, and they can't just ignore one of the emperors...they're at the point in their journey where shit is heating up
zoro: we don't have time for a crewmate rescue arc we're too far along in the story for that
and like it's kinda true, I feel like rescue arcs tend to take place closer to the beginning of a story as an easy way to flesh out characters and interactions, so one taking place past chapter 800 (!!!) and with one of the well-established main characters is kinda wild
like, wci ran the risk of feeling/being kinda redundant character-development-wise (obviously it was always gonna have important plot stuff w/big mom) but instead. it slaps
oh yea zoro mentioned kin'emon. where the fuck did he and the other guy go lol
to be fair. luffy did already pick a fight w/big mom lmao sanji didn't start that beef
also again I love how opposite zoro and sanji are as characters - zoro doesn't have a complicated past w/his family, and if he were in sanji's place he'd probably just be like 'nah.' and deal w/the consequences directly
but of course sanji loves self-sacrifice so here we are
luffy being like. well. lets ask sanji! I LOVE HIM SM....
luffy really said okay kaido can wait lets go tangle w/another emperor first. he's so iconic
luffy suggesting they'll be quiet....................have to laugh vhbjakusdfslfd
mannnn the scenery and environments in one piece slap
PEDRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lmao remember when everyone thought chopper was gonna get a mink gf during zou...listen this is one piece we're talking abt. no romance allowed (mostly)
IS NEKOMAMUSHI EATING LASAGNA. HBVHJKSDBFJKSJBF
EPIC GARFIELD REFERENCE
chopper being the stern doctor...love it. it truly is tough when patients ignore your instructions. but also chopper lives in the one piece world so everything is kinda crazy anyways
nekomamushi is soooo funny vhbahkdsjfxhbksfdbh him being serious then instantly chasing a ball and injuring himself. helpp lmfao
'I'm only in bed because I decided to be' that is Exactly something a cat would say lmao
ooooh pekoms isn't dead
VINSMOKE LORE DROP TIIIIME
oh jk cliffhanger tiiiime!
pekoms saying that the vinsmokes are famous assassins and active in the underworld really DOES make it seem like they're a mafia family like people theorized
love the contrast of pekoms saying the vinsmokes are assassins over a panel of sanji smiling. excellent
zoro and perona in the SBS doodle wwwwww love them. mihawks weird goth kids
OH MAN these chapters are great. I love the buildup to whole cake - the tension is excellent, and it's really hard to tell at this point where the story will go.
we still haven't learned a lot about the vinsmokes yet and thinking abt it now, sanji's reaction doesn't even tell us that much about them - he's prone to self-sacrifice so he probably would've gone no matter what
I mean its obvious there's a reason sanji has never mentioned his biological family before so clearly it isn't a huge leap that they're evil, especially as we slowly learn more abt them
anyways this is dope but I gotta go to bed...more to come!

I could talk Yellowjackets FOREVER (but if it's too much you can ask me to stop and I will) There are so many theories (like who is Pit Girl? What is the fate of Shauna's baby? What happened to Javi? Who is the Antler Queen? So many questions and theories) And yes I too suffered through PLL so I know your pain. Also I hope that it stays in the "human" world and it doesn't go "supernatural" (the seance scene for example the character is a schizophrenic or so I read and that could explain a lot)
We waited seven years for an absolute sham. Marlene King owes us dues.
Yellowjackets longposting under the cut!
cw for discussions of mental health re: Lottie, just the first paragraph
One thing I'll disagree on is Lottie, I think she's psychic or at least has some sort of premonition and that's been demonized by her father. In many cultures, there are people like her that aren't considered supernatural. I mentioned this in a server I'm in but it's really possible that Lottie's (white, rich) father simply wouldn't believe in anything he couldn't personally explain, where her mother was saying that Lottie could be having psychic visions. Obviously her father is rich and powerful so anything he wants she gets, which very well could include a high dosage anti-psychotic for a daughter who doesn't meet the criteria for schizophrenia. According to my (admittedly bare) research, most women are diagnosed as adults in their later twenties, cases are very rare for 12-18, and in general it's incredibly rare for kids under 12 to be diagnosed - and Lottie looked like 9 or 10 in the car scene imo.
I think, by now, I'm sold on Lottie being the antler queen, I don't think it'll be a rotating title like -A was.
I really fell for the Adam is Javi hints hook line and sinker. Once I read that the writers weren't sure if Adam was gonna be Javi I felt better about seeing it, but whew I was kinda like... WOW he's just some guy, isn't he? But I can't wait for his torso to be discovered and then confirmed to be Adam's torso because of the tattoo. That'll be fun, and I can see it happening specifically because Misty said the torso is not identifiable but he has a back tattoo.
As for Pit Girl, I truly don't have any solid theories! My only vague thought is it could be Mari, but honestly that's just because she's the only one we've seen with straight, dark hair that hasn't been confirmed alive. There are people who think it's Callie and it was a modern day hunt, which is wild to me just because like... c'mon Callie deserves life, or they think it's Shauna's baby grown up.
Speaking of Shauna's baby, she's going to have the baby, but... yeah. I don't know what's going to happen, but I do think the cult is gonna love that baby. The way I've described Lottie's power ascent was Laura Lee dying was the catalyst and Doomcoming was her coronation; her visions were confirmed before but not everyone knew about them (the red water, the sick deer, Laura Lee's death), but at Doomcoming she said "we will eat soon" and then the bear came the next morning, and someone even pointed that out. Van also said she's predicted multiple things at school, like prom queen. So then will the baby become a fixation as the rebirth of Jackie and Laura Lee? I don't know much about Jesus, tbh, but I know rebirth is a thing Christians talk about. The second-coming. Will the baby be considered the second-coming? Will Shauna only be protected because of her pregnancy, and will her giving birth put her in danger with the cult? I have more questions than answers, truly, because there are no hints (that I've uncovered!) about the baby's fate.
Unfortunately I think Javi dies. I think one of the reasons Travis was so anti-cult is because they want to eat Javi's corpse and he won't let them, maybe? Or maybe the cult hunts Javi and killing Travis completes their ritual! Most of my theories are basically out of thin air when it comes to Javi, but there is one thing I think I know for sure: if Javi were alive, he'd have been Adam. (I don't know that for sure.) His death, if it occurs this season, will definitely be a huge thing that divides Travis and Natalie further apart from the cult.
