Some VERY interesting things are happening in the ql world over in Taiwan!! I could’ve sworn someone already made a post about this but I can’t find it now (I might’ve just been recalling when the HIStory account posted about it before though) and now I’m learning some very interesting news I hadn’t seen before so I’m making my own post about it. And also so fellow ql fans can hear abt this too.

So here’s the rundown. Last month there was an event titled “Be Love, Go Love” in which LINE TV & TAICCA announced they would be working on developing more BLs & GLs in Taiwan. They ALSO said they’d be working with people from other countries including the director & producer of semantic error and other important people from Thailand and Korea. Wayne Song was also at the event and said not only that he’d like to work with the director & producer of semantic error, but that he’d be willing to do so without pay/paying out of his own pocket just for a chance to act with her (I love this guy)!

The way this event will work is people will register & submit a bl or gl story to LINE TV X TAICCA in order to develop it into future pitches that are expected to be completed by August 2024. Out of all the submissions they’ll select a total of SIX they’ll be working on developing. Obviously this is all really exciting because we’re not only getting six new qls but they’re going to be collaborating with other significant people in the industry.

Now idk about y’all but I loooove this incorporation of different countries considering they’re the primary ql producers (and maybe Japan too but that’s not one of the countries they’re working with). What I didn’t see before (although it’s literally been up on the page with all the info since they announced this in early November…) are some of the other people they plan on working with. Listed on their website where people can register for this series development plan are:

Tsai Mi Chieh (HIStory2: crossing the line, HIStory3: make our days count, about youth, etc.)

Pepzi Banchorn Vorasataree (bad buddy, dark blue kiss, kinnporsche, the warp effect, etc.)

Bee Pongsate Lucksameepong (2gether, a tale of thousand stars, bad buddy, kinnporsche, love mechanics, vice versa, my school president, last twilight, etc.)

Yuan Wan Thabkrajang (I feel you linger in the air, manner of death, my gear and your gown, etc.)

Hwang Da Seul (where your eyes linger, to my star, blueming, etc.)

And apparently this might not even be everyone???!! So the lineup is already really impressive. It seems like they’ll each have different roles (representatives of their country, consultants, etc.), but all be mentors in some form. I also got especially excited when I saw the HIStory Instagram account post a photo with Cheng Yi Xu who acted in fragrance of the first flower, a Taiwanese gl. What I wanna know is… are my HERstory dreams finally coming true???! PLEASE… regardless, I expect we’re gonna get some super awesome qls in the not-so-distant future from new filmmakers with influence from a hell of a translational mentors group.

#I feel like a news reporter going BREAKING NEWS even though this is technically a few weeks old LOL #I could’ve SWORN I saw a post abt this too but I just could not find it so um if it exists feel free 2 link it to me lol #wayne song #tsai mi chieh #pepzi banchorn #bee pongsate #yuan wan thabkrajang #hwang da seul #I’m not gonna tag all the shows but like this is cool. this is REALLY cool #b.txt

heyhey! You said you had a request but couldn’t see it and in case it was mine here i am once again humbling asking you to feed my delusions. I am the same person who asked for the one with the fake dating trope and the one where reader spawns into the lobby :))

But i am here now going for a more angsty route! >:) Granted, this is more of an OC x Alastor but im describing it more generic for the populace BUT HERE GOES

right before “Cover me” reader kept silently glancing over at Alastor which was on the dance floor, subconsciously making him approach her. He goes of course they have a (Important for later) conversation like “I havent seen you around here. Are you new around town?” “Just moved in actually~” “Well, Id love to give you a tour someday, the names Alastor” and he kisses her hand “Ah a charmer, ill have to be careful around you” (OR A MORE ELEGANT CONVERSATION THEN THAT I SUCK AT DIALOGUE) then theres the knife and gun scene and the team up

And then they get together after about a year or two and I dont wanna say theyre legally married but eventually use wife and husband terms because its more fancy and gives them more respect in eyes of others but they have been together for around 5 years at this point.

but then the events of 1925 happen where readers twin brother dies because some bastards set fire to his house and Reader has an argument with Alastor before eventually going alone to avenge her brother (theyre like “theres too many, youll die” “so be it!”)

Reader kills them all (duh) but because it was January and extremely cold she eventually gets hypothermia and during the delusions it gives she stumbles and gets impaled on an abandoned rusty fence spike and dies :3

Alastor find her and gives her a proper burial and 8 years later in 1933 while visiting readers grave he gets shot canonically

But these 8 years gave reader enoigh time in hell to establish her own dominance and due to the life she lived and the death of hypothermia- she gets turned into a sort of blizzard demon. Around 180 cm with black limbs, white fluffy hair and fluffy ears and a white tail as a sinner form and for the demon form im thinking of the faceless Room Guardians by Anyaboz on Instagram (incredible artist btw) with ice powers like summoning weapons and ice spikes and ice touches and moving freely (like Kindred’s wolf in League) in her blizzard. Taking over half the pentagram like this-

Until 1933 when Alastor pops up in hell, does his demon business and eventually wants to check out these frozen parts and goes into a bar very similar to the one they met and sees reader at the table and then THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME CONVERSATION THEY HAD WHEN THEY FIRST MET (maybe with the knife and gun scene too hehe) and theyre both like “i forgive you” or smth idk maybe they just have a silent agreement- either way.

After they met the blizzard stops and no one knows why or who did it :>, readers identity as the blizzard demon remaining a secret

BTW I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE- if you want more i have a ton of ideas because brain rot- (also lil side note i kind of imagine reader as albino because it would fit my ocs lore a bit more- but keeping it basic would fit everyones ideas of their own reader so! do what you please you already made my day better by reading my ideas come to life :3))

yes!! i did see yours and it is currently in third place for requests i need to fill so ill probably get it done by this weekend, early next week at the latest. it’s just taking me a bit because i’m in midterms rn and also i want to make sure i get in all the details :) i think it might’ve been a request for alastor’s mom reader x lucifer?? i recall getting one about that but can’t seem to find it anywhere. long story short,, your request is in progress and i will post it as soon as i have the time to finish it up :)

UPDATE: This piece has officially been posted as of Friday February 23rd, 2024.

so this happened a while ago but i still feel quite a bit of guilt over it and i’m honestly wondering whether i was in the wrong or not. i’m almost 18M now but i was 15M at the time (almost 3 years ago).

at the time of the pandemic i (15M) got very bored in quarantine and ended up making online friends with P (17NB) and later G (18NB) after P introduced me to G after the two had talked for a considerable amount of time.

the three of us were very close for a long time (this was the first friend group i’d had that referred to me as he/him, additionally as i had very little experience with online friends before now, and because P and G were both also trans like me it felt more comfortable).

P and G began dating after a while and met up once or twice, but as i live further away from them it was more difficult (additionally my mother was very restrictive on having online friends, so this was kept from her).

i had a very big puppy crush on both of them at this point but kept it to myself. however i did feel confused for a bit as although they were dating, P and G would tease me a little bit, calling me ‘good boy’ and sending me screenshots of them teasing each other ab their kinks then calling me a voyeur, stuff like that— in a teasing way, not in a genuinely flirting way but it made the crush a lot more intense for me.

P and G dated for almost a year but towards the end things started going wrong (at the end of the relationship, P started talking about how he didn’t feel attracted to G anymore because G wasn’t a cis man and didn’t have male genitalia. which came off as a little weird to me as both of them were transmasc?) but they agreed to part ways

they broke up soon after and i kept in contact with both of them seperately (probably not the best decision as P would constantly talk shit about G in a group chat even months after they broke up which i didn’t like). but P ended up suddenly talking to me and saying that i was talking too much to G, then giving me an ultimatum of either i stop talking to G or they wouldn’t talk to me anymore for their own mental health

this also happened on new years which just put me in the worst headspace i’ve been in ever. i ended up saying no, blocking P and telling G about it (even though G was a little disappointed that i’d been given that ultimatum in the first place and we just ended up not hearing back for a long while

the only reason something started up again was that later, a mutual friend of ours mentioned they had seen P post some concerning things on his story on instagram (about cutting off toxic people, more stuff about G, but also suicidal ideation kinda stuff on his close friends) and i realised i still had access to his vent account (which didn’t have a lot on there but enough that it would probably make the average person worry a bit).

G was worried about P even though they’d broken up and asked me to send him some screenshots of the vent acc’s newer posts so he could relay them to his family and hopefully get some help. i sent maybe three or four posts over and G sent the posts to his mom who then had a conversation with P. i then got a lot of messages from P calling me a horrible person and saying i was wrong, which i was really confused and stressed over because i genuinely thought i was doing the right thing and some of the things P posted were scaring me a lot. P’s two friends also messaged me later as well, calling me vile and saying i was horrible for doing what i did

i ended up apologising to P later because the guilt was eating me alive and i couldn’t take it anymore, and we ended up civil as the only thing we’d really talk about from that point was writing ideas for their blog, but then they decided to send me a random ‘congrats, you ruined my life’ emoji meme which made me really confused because i thought we were okay again. we haven’t talked for ages now but idk. the guilt gets to me sometimes and i think maybe i might’ve been horrible without realising because i genuinely wanted to help……. basically aita for sending the screenshots to G?

What are these acronyms?

Really adore your artstyle. You have such amazing designs! I only have one big question and that is in regards to Thomas' Backstory before he became Edward's adopted son. Basically, what happened to Thomas that made him climb aboard Edward's engine? You mentioned you live for sad stories too so I can presume it's something angsty was involved?

Ah good question good question…

It dawned on me that before I got back into this show, I never knew the era it took place in. Now I’ve realized it’s between 1936 and 1952… to keep it brief, I’d place my au around the end of WWII.

I haven’t exactly given thought to WHO Thomas’s parents are, only that they were separated from Thomas, and later (most unfortunately) became casualties of the war.

I imagine Thomas might have been quite curious at seeing such a bright blue engine at a train station one morning while wandering aimlessly, so, being him, he probably climbed aboard and never thought twice. (Given that he’s around 4 I can’t say I blame him, I might’ve done the same???)

And while I know y’all have seen the comic, you haven’t seen all of it (yet?) but Edward does eventually realize he’s stowed away on the train and decides to ask Sir Topham Hatt what to do once they’ve reached Sodor.

I’ll post these doodles eventually but what ensues after is essentially this:

-Topham and Edward decide an orphanage is probably their best bet, so Topham starts looking into arrangements.

-in the meantime, Edward had the whole caretaker role thrust unto him by default. The first few nights are chaotic, as no one, but especially not Edward, had much experience in caring for a kid before. (Let alone one as cheeky as this one). There was a lot of learning to be had.

-it takes much longer than anyone had thought to find a place for Thomas to go, and eventually a few months pass by. You see where I’m going with this I’m sure, but needless to say, Thommy has already grown quite attached. To everyone, sure, but especially Edward, who takes him on trips and teaches him all about how to drive the train.

And as you all know, he does eventually stay. There was one futile attempt made to separate them and send Thomas off, but after one rather vocal and tear jerking stop at THAT station you better believe Thomas went back HOME to Sodor without further question.

If this wasn’t horrifically boring for y’all I’d be happy to go more into this and how he grew up around the others? Idk I’ve never had such a long post before 😭😂 anyway enjoy

Thinking about Restorative Justice AUs this morning and I'm gonna copy/paste from the friendchat

part one:

Like yes okay I did listen to the apology song from book of life recently and after a moot posted something about the producer interview where zelda might’ve dismantled the monarchy after seeing how kingdoms are formed but didn’t have time in the game and I had feelings about it but imagine an TotK au in which the sages wanted to make gan human again because the circumstances of his corruption were also rooted in evil and the power of friendship means sovereign states full of love or something whatever you get me but like, they do the thing where they’re working on reigning gan in by seeing him (tm) and when it starts to work sagebody rauru is like ‘what are you doing he’s a monster No restorative justice (/personal grudge bc yknow he killed his wife)’ and light arrows him which makes him get monstrous again and goes after rauru and the kids have to figure out how to stop two stupid dogs from ripping each other and the whole world apart again

part two: (Re: That ^⁠ )

because I got hit with Apology Song from Book of Life AND I Know Who You Are from Moana -- Restorative Justice AU in which Riju is the one that can reach him because she knows what it's like to be a kid in a position she didn't ask for (in fact the exact same one he was born into) who is doing her best and she knows how angry and scared he must've been because she is also angry and scared and she knows he must be loyal to the darkness now because he felt betrayed and forgotten by his people but they still remember who he was before and she knows he used to be a hero and she knows he just wanted to keep his people safe and she can forgive him if he can forgive her but his enemies are her friends now and his people are okay they're okay and he doesn't need this power anymore his people are safe his war is over and he can come home to rest (die, finally)

and what if rauru light arrows him but hits riju (she's okay) and gan gets beasty and fights rauru and zelda splits them up and chains gan and rauru is like 'good chained like the beast you are' and goes to kill him and finds out he is also trapped by Zelda's light magic and she's like 'no this is fucking over goddammit i've seen how a kingdom is made and all of this is wrong i'm dissolving hyrule' and rauru's like '>:0 princess zelda-' and she's like 'QUEEN ZELDA. I AM THE DAUGHTER OF HYLIA'S LIGHT AND YOU WILL HEAR ME' and she banishes him back to the sacred realm so he can see his wife and be at peace whether he likes it or not and she destroys the malice/gloom on Gan and fixes Riju's injury with one like big untapped power boom she's been trying to reach this entire series and Gan can just sit with Riju and get to see her, this strong young Gerudo who is so brave and loves her people so much, and he can just idk crumble into sand and be part of his desert again

there was a Whole Movie in my head this morning

Bonus:

So Riju gets the closure of knowing she did destroy the evil that killed her mother and also gets to see and know and bury a legendary gerudo king and help his soul find the peace he clearly couldn't get on his own and Zelda gets the closure of knowing the cycle has ended and her power was ultimately used for good and Link gets the closure of just getting to hug all of his friends after a supernatural war

now he can go be babygirl to his boyfriend and his boyfriend's wife

and zelda can go be a hippie communist like her great great great great great x100 grandmother before her

and Baby Teba whose name escapes me can go be a great archer and Yonobo can go back to doing mining and capitalism

inevitably pissing off a dragon in the depths who will come out and eat them all

#riju #ganondorf #lozhc #i'ma call this the uhhh gerudojusticeau #gerudojusticeau #might draw stuff at some point maybe #idk no promises

I made it onto the Indie Bestseller list by posting on TikTok. Don’t do what I did.

IDK how to use tumblr but here are some thoughts

Maybe I should wait to write this, to have a little distance from publishing my book. When I see authors who are at the same place I am — a week and a day out from publication — their captions often sing the praises of their publishers. They’ll mention how grateful they are that all their hard work paid off, that the years of writing and editing and blood, sweat, tears, or whatever other bodily fluids they put into their manuscript were worth it for the moment the book came out.

For me, it wasn’t.

The writing process for How to Excavate a Heart was liberating. I came up with the idea while driving to a Long Island Panera (where all good ideas are formed), and started outlining it while eating their dubiously-sourced mac-and-cheese.

I then proceeded to, as I texted verbatim to at least three close friends, “fart out the novel.” I wrote it in about six weeks while on a train trip visiting family and friends, and I cherished every moment of the process.

That was in late 2019/early 2020, and it was the last time my feelings about the book were purely positive.

How to Excavate a Heart (HTEAH) sold in the late summer of 2020, to be published in Fall 2022. I was more focused on my debut novel, Almost Flying, that was slated to come out in the summer of 2021. Which it did, though if you didn’t know it existed you certainly wouldn’t be alone. It earned a Stonewall Honor from the American Library Association, and I think the week that happened it crested to a new high of 20 copies nation-wide or something depressing like that.

Needless to say, I was frustrated by what I saw as lack of support from my publisher, and was determined to not let the same fate befall HTEAH. I was already fairly active on TikTok after originating the Laura Dern Sitting Challenge (my one true claim to fame), but I had heard that TikTok was generally not a fruitful platform for authors, or that, even if authors were popular, it didn’t translate to book sales.

So of course my first thought was, “Why don’t I push this boulder uphill and see what happens?”

So I posted my first TikTok about HTEAH in February of 2022. It flopped in an expected way, but I continued to post about it consistently, and, over time, amassed a small following. The HTEAH hashtag grew (almost all the videos on it were are still are my own), and I was thrilled that people were hearing about my book.

At the time of writing this, the hashtag has over two million views, and I can directly trace over 1,000 individual sales/preorders of my book to TikTok and TikTok alone.

Here’s the price I paid: My girlfriend has watched my mental health slowly deteriorate over this time. She’s seen me quit writing to focus on promoting this book, for the small chance that, I don’t know, someone might care. And now some people do! Hooray.

I spent nine months promoting a book to get it to the sales that it might’ve gotten if my publisher had supported it. Or maybe not — I have no way of knowing. All I know is that if I hadn’t posted about the book on TikTok, you wouldn’t be reading this. It wouldn’t have gotten on the Indie Bestseller list. It wouldn’t have made the Indie Next list. It wouldn’t be a book box pick.

And I wouldn’t be so burnt out I can barely get up from the couch. I wouldn’t be depressed from staring at my phone all day.

Maybe if I hadn’t done all this, I’d be able to write again, to turn in work on time. To live each day without the fear that I’m not doing enough because if I don’t post a TikTok my book will sell horribly like my last one and then that’s it, I’ll be a failed author before my 25th birthday.

What a healthy mindset, huh?

So sure, if you post consistently on TikTok for nine months before your book comes out, enough people will buy your book that you might make it onto a list. But please, I beg of you, don’t. If your publisher doesn’t support you enough to give you marketing, don’t do it yourself. You cannot be an entire team. You cannot be your own publicist.

I am one person. And now I’m done.

Anyway, you can buy my book at excavateyourheart.com and you cannot find me on social media anymore (except maybe tumblr apparently). Stream Loneliest Time by CRJ.

jojo sexuality headcanons lmao parts 1-3

ive scrounged the internet (well, lightly sifted through and then got bored) for a jojos bizarre adventure sexuality headcanons post that I agreed with completely and I literally could not find any so here’s my opinion that nobody asked for 😘

feel free to argue with me in the comments I’ll probably respond lol

first up Jonathan joestar- straight ally

I think most people can agree that Jonathan is probs the straightest joestar (that I know of, I’ve read up to part 7 but I’ve heard gappy is pretty fucking straight) but yeah he’s straight

He probs doesn’t even fully understand what being not straight is but if someone he knew came out to him he would be very supportive even if he didn’t know what it rlly meant

speedwagon-gay

idk if this is a hot take or not but this man did not have any sort of interest in women and was never married which if he was gay would make since back then bc being not straight wasn’t the norm lmao also there was that one scene in part 2 where Joseph was implying that speedwagon might’ve felt something more than friendship for jonathan so that’s why i think this

(I’m not gonna do dio bc his bisexuality was already confirmed by the one and only araki so that doesn’t rlly need an explanation 😭)

joseph joestar: bicurious (female leaning)

I was scratching my head tryna come up with a sexuality for this fucker and eventually settled for bicurious bc we all know that there was sum going on with him and caesar but also he had a wife whom he cheated on with another woman so I mean

caesar was def his awakening that he might like men but sadly the rocks smashed caesar before Joseph could 😔 also Joseph wears far too many crop tops to be straight like let’s be honest

(bicurious applies to oldseph aswell)

Caesar zeppeli: homoromantic bisexual

dis bro would never date women. but eat them out? Hell fucking yeah

he like dick too tho bc ik damn well if this hoe didn’t get crushed by a rock he would not have a wife like bro what

The words caesar and wife have no business being in the same sentence. Yk this hoe would have a hella 100% Italian husband named like Giuseppe or some shit who would only eat spaghetti for dinner literally every night

this poor dude just wanted some joestarussy but we all know that rocks are homophobic 😔

lisa lisa-lesbian

she’s lesbian bc I said so she married a dude bc she was bored ok I literally do not care what anybody says

look at her

she’s a lesbian

for all the pillarmen it literally depends on the day, like one day they have big buff boyfriends and then a good nights sleep will make them like homophobic superstraights

jotaro kujo: gay demiromantic asexual (sex indifferent)

first off jotaro really does not strike me as the type to think about romantic relationships all that much and definitely does not consider anybody for a romantic relationship upon first meeting them. he needs time to feel something more than platonic. I’ve seen people say that he’s aroace which I do think could be possible but I personally think that he does want love and care wether it be platonic or romantic

asexual just makes sense for him I’m pretty sure the majority of the fandom (not including the homophobic pissbabies) can agree with this. he doesn’t understand how people can just look at someone and feel attracted to them, bro probably discovered asexuality when he saw a meme that he related to and saw the asexual hashtags in the caption bro

also he’s just gay. like there is no way that he likes anybody except men. if this bro wanted a gf he’s got plenty of hoes to choose from. But he didn’t. Also he treats his hoes like shit lmao

and don’t even THINK about bringing up his wife (whom didn’t even have a name cause she was so unimportant, for convenience I’m gonna call her samantha smith) bc you and me both know damn well that samantha smith only exists to continue the bloodline. we also all know damn well that araki would make plot points that contradict against characters to continue the story. people who think jotaro is straight need to get real

noriaki kakyoin: panromantic aceflux

listen I was going to say he was gay but I changed my mind because I really can’t imagine him caring about gender all that much. he does look like a twink tho I can’t deny it

Also araki did actually confirm that kakyoin likes both men and women (he said something along the lines of “I could see kakyoin falling in love with a man” idk I’m too lazy to look up exact wording) but I mean you can take one look at this dude and be able to tell that he is both not straight and has pronouns. I mean look at him

also I’m tired of people characterizing him as the UwU pissbaby fucktoy so he’s aceflux 1. Because I said so and 2. Because it just makes sense idk how to explain it

(ps if I see a kakyoin milf hunter joke in the comments to argue against kakyoin being not straight im going to fire a missile at your house bc telling the same joke for like 15 years isn’t funny luv xx)

polnareff: pansexual

dis bro is desperate. he can’t be affording to care about gender man he’s tried to rizz up like 15 genders and failed at all of them you think he can actually afford to be anything but pansexual? also he fr fr just gives off stereotypical chaotic pansexual vibes

jokes aside tho he def don’t care. aslong as you give him validation you’ve already won him over

muhammad avdol: gay demiromantic demisexual

he don’t really think about it all that much he only realizes if he likes somebody after he’s super close to them definitely. He do have a touch of the gay tho

if you disagree with any of these I would love to hear your headcanons in the comments!/gen

pls no like super heated arguments tho lol

also I might do parts 4-7 in another post cause this was fun asf

HB Episode Thoughts...

Since I’ve made a few posts about Helluva Boss now, I figure I’d get my thoughts out now that I’ve seen the episode. Sorry if I echo points others have made, I’ve skimmed through the critical blogs after watching the episode to see if they caught things my goofy ass might’ve missed lol

When I initially watched the episode, I was kinda impressed because it wasn’t a pile of shit like Seeing Stars or The Circus, at least at first. I admit, I’m biased because I like Moxxie as a character, so I might be softer on this episode than I should, but make no mistake, this episode is goofy with a capital G.

First of all, and I know this is my fault for speculating because I give Vivzie way too much credit when it comes to episode plots, but I really thought there was going to be some kind of solo adventure with Moxxie and Chaz and it would be a more high stakes thing than “Hey Moxxie we’re gonna force you to marry someone even though ur married so you can inherit his money that we didn’t check to see if he actually had” (real trusting mafia btw smh). But again, that’s my fault, fool me once shame on you and all that shit.

Second, I’ve read Adam’s little Tweet about Moxxie’s MOM being from Wrath instead of Moxxie himself which is like, sure, whatever, but I just love how this has become a trend for the crew to have to write cliffnotes to make up for their fuck ups lol, like before the reveal of Crim’s mansion I was thinking, “Oh so maybe they just have a business in Greed right” but again that’s my fault for thinking too hard (and I didn’t watch the con videos entirely cuz I wanted to be surprised)

Third, one thing that I found odd was Blitzo’s casual nature about everything, like I know he’s just forgotten everything from the previous episodes but surely if he cares about Moxxie like he claims to, he’d be on the immediate offense like Millie, he’s got no qualms about taking people out so the episode could’ve been over just like that. AND SPEAKING OF-

Four, Millie being OP like that ruined any tension for me smh my head like girlpower gaslight gatekeep whatever but they could’ve killed the whole mob and left honestly, and yeah, it’s goofy that Millie can do all that but get taken down by a glass bottle. I bet some goofy bitch on Twitter is gonna say “Oh well time passed so she had more time to train” shut the fuck up and get out of my face with that shit

Fifth, this is probably goofy of me because I know animation takes a while and Vivzie kept replacing/overworking animators but part of me gets a vibe that Chaz was made purely to spite anyone who thinks Angel Dust and Stolas are too sexual. Then again, that would imply Vivzie doesn’t find that shit the funniest shit since sliced bread so probably not. He was so fucking annoying too, and his plot made no fucking sense because all someone needed to do was look in his fucking trunk and they’d see he was full of shit. Goofy.

Sixth, Crim, what the fuck was that plan? So like, is he low on money? Is that why ne needs Chaz to be married in? You know you could just make him an associate right? And on the topic of mob shit, why is Crim a mob leader and not, idk, in charge of a crew that answers to higher powers? I mean MAYBE that’s the case because of Mammon, but again, I shouldn’t really try to speculate because some completely out of left field shit might happen again. Is Crim Moxxie’s only blood family as well, like where the fuck are the other imps? Why is it only a dad and his kid (and MAYBE a mom) for all these families? I know it’s not important to the episode but there’s a reason why people say the show feels empty because there’s no one but the main cast and the antagonists.

Seventh, uh, idk, the animation was decent. I’ve seen talk about directing and camera work and Idk shit about that but I do know that episode 2 looked wonky as hell and this episode is an improvement, nothing too special except for that camera angle with Moxxie

Eight omg why couldn’t this episode’s ending be swapped with HMF? Why could Millie not take out the threat at her home and Moxxie not take out the threat at his??? Idk

Okay, I think that’s about it because I’ll be here all night, I’m done bi bi

#helluva spoilers #helluva boss #helluva boss critical #long post #when I tell you my eyes rolled deep into the back of my head when Chaz started singing

Hi, it’s me again, I had a couple of ideas, a couple are about possible bard reader, another is a musing for any reader, and the last is a general question.

1. Bards aren’t solely musicians, (from my dnd experience,) they also recite poems, ballads, and stories. So what if Reader tries to keep some of the more prone to boredom pilgrims by talking about various other myths and stories she might know? For example, she might’ve had an ancient Egypt or Greek mythology phase and still remembers a lot of those stories and when things are getting dull, she just goes like “Hey, wanna hear a funny story?” And then talk about Midas getting cursed with donkey ears. It manages to occupy the silence with something more interesting.

2. I’ve seen the Ruan being suggested as Reader’s instrument, but I wonder if anyone has considered the Xun. A xun is basically a small ceramic or wood instrument in the same family as the ocarina, but played slightly differently. They’re quite portable, and they could also make for a convenient “which one of these identical monkeys is Six Eared Macaque,” test. Nothing against the Ruan, just wanted to share. (Bonus: if the Reader likes the Zelda games, she could play some of those songs and most of them are either soothing or fun to dance to.)

2.5. Personally, I am an edgy girl, so if I chose to sing, it’d be like the early 2000s nu-metal songs from groups like Evanescence, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, and all of that other stuff, so that’d be embarrassing.

3. How are she and Tripitaka going to stay warm in the winter? There were points in the book where it was stated to be snowing or at least very cold, and idk if Guanyin would give them coats or if they’d have to get one of the other pilgrims to beg for a couple of used old coats. If Guanyin did give them some, it’d be neat to see like a feather cloak or something along those lines as feathers (down) are very good at insulating and keeping one warm.

4. Given all of the times when Tripitaka either punishes Monkey too severely and/or kicks him out, I can imagine the Six Eared Macaque arc being the one where reader genuinely loses her patience and slaps the monk across the face. She doesn’t really even say anything, just turns to leave and if they say anything about how they need her to guide them, “well, you can figure it out for yourself, because I’m done putting up with your ‘holier than thou’ bullshit.” Then goes to find Wukong. Depends on if you want the one she finds to be the real one, trying not to cry, or if she runs into his doppelgänger. (Suppose we’ll have to wait and see.)

Have a good Sunday, Skittle!

-🌺 Anon

Hello again~

ok soooo i'm gonna admit that at first I had no idea what you were talking about but then I remembered that one of my followers did fanart with their version of Reader using a Ruan and I just wanna say that isn't canon it was just someone's art. anything that i post about ittw on here should be considered specifically not canon just for fun. i also won't answer any questions about what will happen in the future of any of my fics or au's (i know i'm a meanie😋). you can find all my ask rules on my pinned post 😊 (tho i might update them soon)

also everything about ittw was set in stone before i even began writing. nothing will change the plot even if i find an idea that i like (there was one idea from someone's fanart that i liked and i was thinking about using since it wouldn't effect the plot [after getting their permission] but i won't be doing that now because i don't want anyone to think i'm playing favorites or have a bunch of people try to get me to add their ideas as well. i've already had a bunch of people try to do that and it really stresses me out cause it's hard to stay nice in those situations) because of that (and i mean this in the nicest way possible i promise i'm not trying to sound like a jerk) i won't be taking any suggestions for plots unless i specifically ask for them🤗

I hope you have a great Sunday too, 🌺 Anon!

Kane & Jim fanfic: View

saw this post and felt inspired...what if Jim saw a video of Kane’s torture ohohoho. why would the hunters would randomly send Jim a video of Kane’s torture? Idk don’t question it

based on the characters and series by @whumpsday

warnings: past torture, whipping, blood, references to past captivity and abuse, trauma

—

The day had already started off weird with the solar eclipse. He’d seen one before—they happened every eighteen months—so its occurrence wasn’t the odd thing. Jim watched it from his doorstep, wearing some protective sunglasses, and felt this was something he should have seen coming. He should have known when it was going to happen, when he would be vulnerable even during the day. It made sense and didn’t make sense at the same time, and it stirred in him an uneasy feeling as the sun was blacked out by the moon.

Did vampires burn even under a covered sun?

Kane had run off to the basement as soon as Jim opened the door, which could either mean the answer was yes, or it was just his usual reaction due to the trauma he’d experienced at the hands of the hunters who held him captive.

Vampires and the sun didn’t mix, no matter the situation.

Things only got better from there, and by better, he meant worse. Jim dropped a piece of silverware while making lunch and Kane went to pick it up, only to end up with burned fingertips and tears in his eyes. Jim had forgotten—of all things—that his silverware was real silver. A gift from Liz, to make him feel safe, back in the early days when he’s spend every second looking over his shoulder for a certain vampire, expecting him to make a reappearance.

The same vampire he’d dreaded seeing for years was now kneeling on his kitchen floor, sniveling. He reached to pick up the fork again, the blasted idiot, and Jim grabbed it from his hands a bit too forcefully. He just didn’t want Kane to burn himself again, but now the vampire had his forehead pressed to the floor and began begging him for mercy.

“I-I I’m sorry…I’m sorry, I just—I wanted to help—”

Jim knelt down beside him. “It’s okay, buddy. You’re being plenty helpful.” He put a gentle hand on Kane’s hair, ruffling softly. “I just don’t want you to get burned again. You don’t need to.”

Eventually, Kane sat upright and nodded. Wiped his tears on his sleeve. Drew in a shaky breath.

It was longer still before Jim had him calmed down enough to get off the floor.

After lunch, Jim went to check his email. He didn’t get much of them; he wasn’t exactly the most social of the family. Though he did like to know what was going on every once in a while, maybe see if he got another royalty payment coming in from that damned book.

The newest weird thing was the email that appeared at the top of his inbox, displayed with an empty subject line. The sender’s address spelled out a name that sounded vaguely familiar so Jim didn’t immediately discard it as spam, but it looked sketchy as hell. Jim couldn’t place where it might’ve come from. It contained no words. Only a single video file, which Jim was glad his antivirus scanned before opening.

He wished he never had.

The video started with an image of Kane. Kane, as he was before. A scared, bloodied thing, curled on the floor in the heart of the hunter’s base. Jim’s stomach clenched, already dreading what he was about to see. He knew the hunters had been cruel to him—obviously, because Kane had ended up the way he had. But the vampire had never detailed explicitly what had happened to him during those long years. Jim could only guess.

He paused the video before it began.

The Kane that had been presented when he first came to collect him from the hunters was not what he’d been expecting. He thought he was getting the same arrogant, smarmy bastard who’d punch Jim’s lights out for looking at him wrong. Who’d thrown him against a wall for talking back. Who threatened to shatter his ankles if he ever caught him, and meant it.

A shiver ran through him.

The Kane he’d picked up had been…obsequious. Subservient. Desperate. He wore an unpadded muzzle, the silver directly against his skin, and hardly any clothes. He was unclean yet relatively uninjured, but there was a haunted look in his eyes that Jim was intimately familiar with.

He clicked the play button.

The camera showed Kane in about the same state as Jim had found him in, sans the muzzle. He wore no chains, only a small pair of tattered shorts, and had a few scrapes but little else in the way of injuries. He lie sprawled out on the concrete floors of the base, looking up at the camera with tears pooling in his eyes.

Someone laughed in the background.

The camera shifted upward abruptly to show three men behind Kane. One of them had a long, silver whip in his hand, the tail of it dragging over the floor and ending in a spiked point like an arrow.

Jim inhaled deeply and held his breath.

“Come on!” one of the men in the video shouted impatiently. “What’re we waiting for?”

The man with the whip jostled him, bumping him in the shoulder. “Fuck you, you wanna do it?”

The hunter behind the camera sighed. “Decide quickly—I’m running out of battery, dumbass.”

The other hunters rolled their eyes and the first one that had spoken made a low groan in the back of his throat. The camera moved back to show Kane. A pair of feet entered the frame, followed by the sound of metal being dragged over concrete.

Jim had to remember to breathe.

THWACK

“Ngh!”

Kane whimpered as the whip struck him, hot and quick. The camera focused in on his back, on the bright blood that welled from the wound in a thin line. The pointed tip had missed him—it had missed him, Jim thought, but that was only the first strike. He wasn’t naïve enough to think it would stop there.

It didn’t.

The next strike came down and Kane spasmed, his back arching in pain and his hands stiffening like claws. The tears that had been gathering in his eyes spilled over like he was an overfilled glass, water dripping down to his chin and bruised jaw.

Another strike. Another scream.

This one sizzled as it hit. The camera had to have been good quality, for Jim could hear every minute detail. Like the moment butter hits a hot pain, it made a tsssss sound for more than a few seconds.

“Hck—”

The next lash hit. And the next.

The fifth strike fell and the barbed point lodged itself in Kane’s shoulder as the hunter doing the torturing tried to pull back the whip. Kane’s chest heaved up and down, his head bowed, jaw locked. He didn’t move. He didn’t go to pull out the silver that burned him, that must have been searing in his bloodstream, burning his skin as if someone had taken a blowtorch to it. He didn’t resist.

Jim paused the video. He considered closing out of the tab, deleting the email, and forgetting that all of this ever happened and never speaking of it again. He felt nauseous—more than that, he felt sick to his stomach. The utter submission rather than the obvious abuse was what got to him. It struck something in him that he’d rather have forgotten and he hated it. Hated it to his core.

He pressed play.

“P-please…” Kane whimpered. “Please, please stop. I’m sorry—I—”

More raucous laughter.

“Guys, it’s sorry!”

THWACK

Kane threw his head back and screamed. Jim didn’t know what to think. The pain, the loneliness, the despair—he knew those things. Kane had never whipped him—thank all that was decent—but he could understand the emotions Kane must have been going through in that moment.

The pain was an entirely different matter altogether. Jim couldn’t even fathom what it must have been like.

“N-no more, please please please no more!"

Kane begged and begged, but the whipping did not stop. The video played on for what could have been hours or only minutes. Jim didn’t know. He couldn’t look away from the screen, from the blood and the tears and the long ropy lashes on Kane’s bare back that multiplied every second. Red. Red. Red. His skin was torn to shreds and he’d curled in on himself, turning his body into a ball, huddled on the floor for what little protection he could find.

Begging turned to babbling, which lead to unintelligible noises of pain with the occasional scream, which then tapered off into sobbing. Jim lost himself in the torment, watching the darkest moments of Kane’s life as he was stripped of everything that made him who Jim had once known.

“Jim?” Kane asked.

Jim gasped and whirled around, knocking several things off his desk. They clattered to the floor, a scattering of pens and paperclips. Kane stood in the doorway.

“Kane!” Jim exclaimed.

Oh no, the video.

In a moment of extreme panic and stupidity, Jim closed the tab, shutting off the horrid video. He then felt foolish, because it made him look like he was hiding something when Kane had clearly already seen what it was.

Jim sheepishly turned back to face Kane. “Hey, I—”

Words fell short when he saw the stricken expression on the vampire’s face. He was paler than usual, which was saying something, as he was a vampire. His eyes held that same haunted look as when Jim had first rescued him, and for a second, he thought Kane had gone somewhere far away, deep within his memories.

He took a step forward into the room. Blinked a few times.

“You saw.”

Jim winced. “Listen, I’m sorry, I—”

Kane gave him an absent, half-hearted smile and shrugged. “Don’t worry. That was far from the worst thing that’s happened to me, so you don’t have to feel bad.”

Jim stared at him without moving for a beat. That was far from the worst thing that’s happened to him? That wasn’t the worst?

“The fuck do you mean I don’t have to feel bad?” Jim blurted out without meaning to.

Kane flinched. Jim held out his hands, palms out, in a placating manner.

“I’m sorry, I mean, what I meant was that I’m sorry I watched the video without your permission. I know it’s something deeply personal, so I’m sorry if you didn’t want me to see…you like that,” Jim finished lamely.

Kane positioned himself next to the desk and leaned on the edge, just slightly. “Ah.”

“Yeah, it’s, uh, I didn’t know what it was at first, so…” Jim rambled.

“I don’t mind,” Kane said. “You’re free to do anything you like.”

Jim inhaled deeply and let out a breath. Funny, that he should hear those words now from the same person who had restricted him for so long.

“But seriously though,” Jim started. He looked up at Kane from his chair and raised an eyebrow. “You okay?”

Kane nodded. Jim could tell he didn’t want to lie to his face in words.

Sabretooth War part 3

Well…it’s better than the first two, and you know why I think that is

Lavalle seems to be helming this one. I went back to check Part 2 and yeah

Percy helmed the first two (and they had a diff artist interesting). So I’m wondering if they’re just gonna switch off issues.

Also

Arkady is once again Sir Not Appearing. Then again, almost all of these characters don’t appear in this issue, so idk what to make of this section anymore. But it’s weird right, that the rest of the X-Force cast AND the guest characters are here, but not him.

Anyways, story time. Geeze let’s see if I can remember because I read it last night but my phone refused to let me post about it, and this story does not have particularly great staying power…

We open on the Team X flashbacks as the previews told us. Savage and Camo call Vic out on not being a good leader

Wait he’s got metal bones again?? Would’ve been nice to have SEEN that happen instead of being TOLD about it. Also Savage knows Weapon X? I would’ve thought being Savageland lady her works might not have had one…huh. But wait, this is alternate reality adamantium; does it work the same, have the same poisoning effects, is that why Vic isn’t using his brain because the metals are rotting it away?? Is that where the adamantium coils came from? Did you melt some of alternate Red’s coils for your bones?? Boy what an uninteresting line of questions glad we skipped that story beat /sarcasm

Uh…what happened next…I think we followed Victor to bed?? Quinten’s head is in the jar like Headpool; it’s Orchis tech that apparently took a long time to learn how to use properly (again great job not showing us a good story). Vic takes a nap…Quinten makes a psychic call…to the Pit Gang

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I was again JOKING about the whale jumping!! WHY is this a thing??? And oh look I was right, it doesn’t save the story.

Wait you guys had reality hopping too? HOW? WHY?? Yeah ok, we got screwed out of a whole miniseries for this gorefest didn’t we. Two boats reality hopping, earning character development, screwing up so many timelines, THAT’S an Exiles storyline, not…this. Argh.

Pit Gang is annoyed that they have to go back to work, but decide to do it anyways in a scene after the next bit, but I’m just summarizing it now because really, I don’t wanna focus on these guys longer than needed, they really are a distraction from the main focus.

Back with the SabreSquad, Savage and Camo are conspiring

Uhg gross. 1) that’s still a terrible retcon for Laura. 2) you actually are a clone because the respawn team made a second you (you) when the original you (Talon) was thought dead in the Vault, plus you have metal bones. 3) oh geeze they’re using alpha/beta/omega language, uh…not my fault (please don’t be my fault) (*I know it’s not really just laugh at the bit*)

Savage rips Laura’s jaw off, because we needed some ***sExY vIoLeNcE**{tm}. But hey, this and ripping into Camo earlier were the only gore fights this time, so it isn’t as bad as the others (so…Percy is the pointless gorehound…that seems to track). Oh and as a lady who suffers from scruff, Savage having some works fine for me; it was weird she was so smooth before, but I agree some with the tags that she needs some more muscle bulk and a bit of height.

Anyways, after torturing Laura it’s more conspiring to overthrow Victor time

1) No Camo you weren’t there when they fought Graydon, we have no idea where you came from. You might’ve been on the ship awaiting decapitation sure, but you didn’t escape and help beat up Graydon with the others. Lavalle wrote that part, how’d he forget?? 2) well we know from April solicits how this subplot will end, thanks marketing spoilers! 3) Pretty Boy really did have the braincell huh, cause this isn’t a good plan

We kinda bookend the issue with another Team X flashback as Vic is dreaming. He wakes up, Quinten head is also dreaming? It plays some sort of a map that Logan doesn’t like? Idk, but Vic is all “haha lemme derail what little plot there is and go do that instead next time” The End

Overall this issue was better than the previous 2, but it’s still not good. It very much feels like we cut out an important storyline just to do this, and yet now we are already bored of this and are cutting it short to switch to something else completely (gee I feel Ike I’ve said that about Percy storylines before). The flashbacks, though nice and will probably have a forced pay off eventually, feel out of place in this story format. There was less over the top gore and more focus on characterization so that’s good. But then we cut away focus for the Pit Gang and that kinda stalled things out; we already have too large of a cast of characters not getting enough focus (some completely forgotten) and this just adds yet another group that we’re not really gonna care about because they aren’t either of the title characters.

This whole thing is just confuzzling. Still gonna keep with it, but man, it’s still not going good.

Idk about pre-breakup time

The first photo we have of the necklace is the one from the tiktok Taylor posted right before the tour started. From the looks of the tiktok the photo was the most recent one in her camera roll. So that photo is from like mid-March. She and Matty might’ve been together back then

We don’t know.

We know Matty was seen in public with a girl in NYC the week he did SNL (March 11) but we don’t know how serious that was, if it was just a hookup, if he and Taylor were talking/flirting yet, any of that. The timeline is messy. Always has been.

Based on my statement in the tags about the collar.. the meaning behind them is far deeper then just a gift given to a friend or a significant other. We don’t know the timeline, as you said. They didn’t have to be exclusive the exact moment (based on my tag about the collar) he gave it to her (assuming he did).

There’s so much wrapped into all that. Goes far beyond any atypical relationship status.

Again - I am only speaking based on the style of it from personal experiences and there have been a few of us who thought as much on Twitter. We don’t actually know.

#but honestly… letting my mind wander it explains the shift in his… let’s say feral behaviour on stage lately #matty healy #taylor swift #the 1975 #maylor #tatty #matty and taylor #taylor and matty #anon

Hi 👋🏽 I'm new to Tumblr >⁠.⁠<

This is my first post, idk what to write so I'm posting a VegasPete one shot. You can find my fanfictions on ao3 under the name @vanillagalaxiez.

Fandom - KinnPorsche | Paring - VegasPete

Title - The Smiling Bodyguard

Date: 10th April 2023

This is the story of the very first time Vegas notices Pete.

Or; Pete is crying because his Grandma is sick, and Vegas sees... Although Vegas doesn't want to, he somehow finds himself trying to comfort the bodyguard.

__________________________

Going to the temple on Sundays has become a routine to Vegas Therrapanyakun… Or a distraction from his chaotic life. At the temple he doesn’t have to think about the weight of the family business, his dreadful Papa, or his cousin Kinn — nothing of the resemblance of the barbaric life he lives… So, you can only imagine Vegas’s disapproving face when he sees Tankhun’s smiling bodyguard — whatever his name is — sitting alone at the back of the temple, on the steps, while big fat drops of tears fall from his eyes.

It’s a quiet corner in the back of the temple where not many — or any — people go. So the usually smiling bodyguard seems more at ease with himself, casting his head down to stare at his fidgeting fingers; he doesn’t notice Vegas approaching.

Vegas doesn’t know this bodyguard on a personal level; he has seen him many times, though, often running behind his obnoxious cousin. The bodyguard is the most polite one in Kinn’s house, too. He always smiles at Vegas wherever Vegas visits the Main Family despite the constant eye-roll or the click of his tongue Vegas usually gives back in return.

The bodyguard's lips wobble, and his face has long turned pink and puffy; he must’ve been crying for a while.

This is the first time Vegas has seen him not smiling. It is rather strange, to be honest. And if it is another time, Vegas might’ve teased him, he wanted to tease him. Yet, when the bodyguard lifts his head and harshly starts wiping his palms on his cheeks despite the neverending tears, a lump suddenly forms in Vegas’s throat, and he can’t help feeling remorseful for the man. Dammit.

Vegas doesn’t know why he is going up to Tankhun’s bodyguard — or why he cares about whether this soft-looking man is crying. Yet, he cannot stop his feet from wandering up to him.

He might as well be mean to the crying idiot, Vegas concludes.

“Well, if it isn’t…” Vegas says in a mocking tone when he reaches in front of the bodyguard. “ What is your name again ?”

The bodyguard visibly stiffens when he hears Vegas’s voice and although he seems weary of looking at Vegas for a passing second, he is respectable — that much Vegas knows — so he slowly looks up at Vegas with teary eyes, and Vegas’s heart instantly starts hammering.

“Khun Vegas?” the bodyguard says in a startled tone before he titles his head into a wai. “It’s…” He sniffles back snot. “It’s Pete, Khun Vegas.”

Vegas takes in the sight of Pete and blinks; once, twice, thrice…

What is happening?

Vegas doesn’t quite understand… He touches his chest and rubs near his heart, though. He figures he must’ve been the spicy chicken he accidentally ate earlier. He hates spices, so that must be why his chest is suddenly throbbing. Yes.

When he realizes the bodyguard is staring at him with pouty lips and small, stifle sniffles, Vegas quickly clears his throat and pretends as though nothing has happened.

“Right,” Vegas says with a sigh before he unthinkingly takes a seat next to Pete. “Why are you crying?... Pete.”

Pete shifts down to give Vegas more space before he starts wiping his eyes again. “It’s nothing, Khun,” he hiccups, an obvious lie.

“Pete,” Vegas says, orders, in a stern tone which he knows Pete has no other choice than to answer him.

Pete seems to be thinking about a response, a lying one before his shoulders slump over, and he nearly curls in on himself from where he is sitting. “It’s… It’s my grandma,” he confesses in a small voice. “I got a call from her this morning. She’s sick… So I came to the temple to pray for her… Every time she gets sick, she gets worse, Khun.”

Vegas isn’t too good at comforting other people about their emotions; he has been bottling up his own for quite some time — he hates showing emotions. They are always a sign of weakness. And yet, he doesn’t think when he places a palm on Pete’s leg, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

Pete stares at Vegas’s palm on his leg; he doesn’t say anything, though.

Vegas is grateful for it… Because at this moment, he so badly wishes to throw up at this strange act of support system he is pretending to be to non-other than the Main Family’s bodyguard — a pet, to be more precise. Pete does sound like Pet, too. Vegas wants to snicker at his own sick joke. Instead, he swallows down the bile threatening to rise, and stiffens a smile at Pete.

“Why don’t you go see your grandma if you’re worried so much?” Vegas says this because he doesn’t know what else to say or how to form a proper comforting sentence.

“I’m leaving tomorrow,” Pete answers in a shaky voice. Then, he takes a deep breath, his eyes wandering straight forward, looking mindlessly at a smaller temple in the far-off opposite direction. “I’m scared, Khun Vegas,” he concludes in a whisper. “Grandma is the only family I have left.”

Oh.

Vegas ponders his head for words to soothe Pete.

He still doesn’t know why he’s being so nice to Pete. It’s just Pete has always been nice to him. And it’s quite weird seeing Pete’s dimples disappear, replaced with an awful frown and tears.

Pete doesn’t look like the type who cries.

Then again, Vegas doesn’t look like the type who gets beat up by his father, yet here they are…

“Don’t —” Vegas nearly chokes on his upcoming words. It’s really difficult trying to be nice dammit. “Don’t be,” he says again before removing his palm from Pete’s leg and using it to pat him on the back two times. It’s rather awkward how he does it, Pete doesn’t seem to notice, though. “Your grandma is going to be alright.”

Finally, Pete turns his face to look at Vegas, and this time his eyes sparkle a tiny bit with hope. “You think so?” he says.

Not really, Vegas wants to add. Your grandma’s old and is probably well past her expiry date.

For moral reasons… He doesn’t say what’s on his mind.

Instead, like earlier, Vegas stiffens a smile before he nods his head. “Mm,” he hums, genuinely hoping the smiling bodyguard doesn’t see through his bullshit of a lie. “Now wipe your eyes, Pete,” he forces out. “Crying doesn’t look good on you…” Shit. He didn’t mean to say that. He really needs to get away from here — from Pete and his appearing dimples, to be exact.

Pete nods and does what he is told; this time, wiping his eyes and his snot with his shirt sleeve.

Pete really does make for a good pet, Vegas’s stupid brain chimes.

“Thank you, Khun Vegas,” Pete says, sounding more lively than before.

And then Pete does something — something Vegas least expected. Pete smiles at him; the brightest, warmest, most breathtaking, genuine, sunshiney smile Vegas has ever seen — he might go blind.

Thankfully, he doesn’t go blind.

A bit lost — entranced, perhaps.

A bit intoxicated by Pete’s smile, too.

But definitely not blind.

Not yet at least… He might be if he stays longer, though.

Dammit.

This is his cue to leave.

“Uh huh,” Vegas says, nearly sprinting to get up and startling Pete in the process. “Anyways,” he says, taking another glance at Pete. “This never happened,” he adds before hardening his face and tightening his jaw, hopefully demonstrating that he’s back to his normal self; the self which everyone fears and hates with equal measure. “Say a word about this, I’ll shoot you myself, okay?”

For a long moment, Pete only looks at him, his expression unreadable. It's quite irritating.

Soon, Pete finally nods and adds, “Yes, Khun Vegas.” He wai's again.

Vegas clears his throat despite the sudden sweat pricking his forehead. “Good,” he says through a gulp. And then he leaves…

However, when he looks over his shoulder, he sees Pete's big doe eyes on him the whole time, running wild with faded emotions. The sight itself leaves another strange ache, this time in Vegas's stomach. He doesn't like this feeling. Not one bit. So it is then when he reaches the temple's exit, he decides it is best he ignores the smiling bodyguard and never speaks to Pete again.

❤️

True to his word, years later, Vegas is pleasantly surprised when Pete doesn’t say a word about what happened the day at the temple… Pete doesn’t mention anything about it when Vegas kidnaps and tortures him for days, either. Or when they end up together… Or in the following years with Pete by his side, as his equal.
