#also I am alone and super strange but that’s okay
Note
Aita for telling my ex boyfriend I don’t miss him?
Tw for talk of sexual activity, emotional neglect
For context, I (19f) broke up with my boyfriend (18m) three months ago. We were going strong for a day short of nine months, but he was going to meet my family and my anxiety got in the way so I panicked and self sabotaged the best relationship I ever had. I know now I was a coward and I hurt him deeply, we’d even planned on attending the same university and starting a bookstore together
He really was the best thing to ever happen to me. He was unconditionally supportive of me when I deal with my emotionally manipulative home life, always told me how pretty I am, got me gifts and would binge my favorite shows so I could infodump to him. He’d been seriously neglected and borderline abused by his toxic ex boyfriend (an ex-mutual friend) but he always went above and beyond to make sure he wasn’t projecting onto me and our relationship. I was head over heels
But I broke up with him the day before our nine-month milestone because I was so sure that he would break my heart and leave me just like everyone else in my life had (and a week before we were to fly cross-country to meet my parents. I went alone.) And he told me in the many conversations we’ve had since then that it ruined his self-esteem and made him question his own self worth if he couldn’t even convince me that he was worth keeping around
And he said that he had planned to ask me to marry him when we got out of university in a couple years. He was so devastated over the phone, but I stuck with my decision to not date anyone during college. I needed to focus on myself and my own mental health… which I haven’t been good about doing (looking at my various online dating profiles)
While we were together, all of my friends were in their horny college phases and hooking up with anything that moved and they’d leave me out of friend activities because I was with my boyfriend. It made me feel alone and isolated and I’d cry to my boyfriend about it and only realize later how awful it was to complain to my significant other about how badly I wanted to be single. Yet, he never complained. I was awful to him
We’ve recently become friends again and we’ve started having casual sex. He has an almost unnaturally low libido compared to my super high one so when he calls me, I’m always at his front door. He’s always so sweet and caring, even after we’ve broken up, and he always checks in on me in the following days to make sure I’m okay. He’s undoubtedly my best friend and my romantic feelings for him have all pretty much died
Last night I spent the night at his place. As we were drifting off, I heard him mumble that he misses me and wrote it off as his sleepy pillow talk. We’d talked in length about never getting back together because of how I hurt him and I agreed it was for the best. This morning, he asked me if hed said anything strange and I didn’t bring it up until he kept nagging me and I told him what he’d said.
He started apologizing profusely and I said I wasn’t upset, because I’m not. I asked him if he meant it and he said he didn’t know. I said it’s fine, he can keep the answer to himself when he figured it out, I didn’t miss him. I ate the breakfast he made and left for work
Now I’m sitting at work and feeling really bad about it. I want to still be his friend and still sleep with him for as long as he’ll have me, but I also feel like I shut him down and hurt him again. I don’t know if my decision to put my foot down was the right one
So, tumblr, AITA?
What are these acronyms?

"i know it hurts..."
headcanons of some genshin boys when you have your period (pt.1??)
kaeya, diluc, thoma, childe, zhongli (separately) x afab!reader (pronouns not mentioned)
genre: fluff
word count: 800-ish
tags: periods, no distinct mention of blood, wholesome boys (for the most part), a lottttt of physical touch + petnames, kaeya is teehee, diluc is clueless as shit, thoma is absolutely whipped, childe is also clueless, zhongli is wayyyyy clued in
tw/cw: zhongli is written as genderfluid, mentions of foods/drink (soup + tea), kisses in zhongli's, i don't think there's much else to add here, lmk if i missed smth
a/n: surprise? hi! i've had a very emotional night, so its time for something extremely self indulgent. i wrote this mostly for the genderfluid zhongli agenda. also i'd like to remind everyone that i am genderfluid, my pronouns are they/she/he!!! ty, enjoy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
kaeya’s personality seems to go through some sort of shift when you’re on your period, seriously! he’ll go from being a flirty, unserious captain with an eye catching smirk to a kind, gentle, soft spoken man. he will quietly hold you if you’re in pain, and try his best to distract you. will kiss you softly and assure you that it will pass, without ever making you feel like you’re exaggerating. strokes your cheek and does whatever you want to do in order to stay distracted. 
“darling? are you alright? are you sick?”
“no, just cramps.”
“ahh, here.”
“how does this feel? you okay? comfy?”
“yeah, I’m okay. thanks kae”
“not a problem at all, lovely”
“so, how was work? 
Tumblr media
diluc is lowkey confused at first in your relationship. he’s never spent much time around anyone who has a period, let alone having to live with one, so it makes sense (a little) that he really doesn’t understand anything that’s happening to you, or what hurts, or why, or how he can help. the first time he finds you curled up in his bedroom in dawn winery he’ll be really confused and awkward, run to adelinde and try to very discreetly ask her what to do (he doesn’t do a good job), but eventually she gets what he means, and tells him to just ask you, which he builds the confidence to do after hyping himself up for like twenty minutes.
“hi”
“hi, 'luc”
“uh… are you okay?”
“ish?”
“uhm… may i talk to you about something?”
“yeah, of course! what’s up?”
“what is… happening to you right now? it’s painful, i know, but how do i help? what do i do? what do you need? how can i make you comfortable? i don’t want you to be in pain.”
“pah, how sweet. come, sit, i’ll explain”
Tumblr media
thoma knows exactly what is going on, and when its going on. keeps track of your periods (with your knowledge and consent ofc) just so he knows what days to bring you whatever you may need. he’s a BIG BIG acts of service and gift giving kinda guy, because he’s always in the city, so he always picks things up for you. this happens even more when you’re on your period. of course, sometimes, his estimates of your starting days will be a little bit off, so he might end up randomly doing something and it seems like its out of nowhere, and he tries to play it off like it is too. 
“thoma? what’re you doing home this early?”
“oh, I thought i’d come home and make you soup!”
“make me… soup? that’s a little strange…”
“no it’s not! it's just because i thought you liked it, especially when…y’know”
“hah, your guess was off darling, you’re two days early. still, i appreciate the thought love. let’s eat?”
Tumblr media
childe is clueless. extremely clueless. but he’s also super duper sweet, and a very fast learner. he tries his best to understand what’s happening and what to do, but unfortunately he doesn’t really have anyone to ask about it. so he’ll literally read a book, which is rather rare for him but he would literally do anything for you. if you’re feeling really unwell, he will insist on taking the day off work to look after you. he’s extremely attentive and gentle, which is the side of him his “co-workers” don’t get to see. 
“morning baby! how’re you feeling?”
“mmhh,, morning chi. ‘m okay, a bit crampy”
“okay, i’ll stay here then.”
“what? no, you have work. you gotta go!”
“i’ll call in sick, they can live without me for a day”
“chi you can’t do this agai-”
“i’d do anything for you”
Tumblr media
zhongli. understands. everything. okay hear me out. zhongli can take any form he wants, so sometimes out of curiosity he would change into another body. he’d get completely, utterly shocked the first time he got a period whilst in this form (it was unexpected.), but learned how to cope with it, because he wanted to be able to fully understand the struggles that some mortals might go through.
he knows exactly what to do when this happens to you, speaks to you calmly and holds you if you get cramps. will brew tea for you, and get the latest herb combinations for pain relief from baizhu. will snuggle up to you, place his hand on your stomach because it’s warm, and hold you close. kisses your neck gently and asks if you need anything, overall just a big sweetie. if you want him to, he’ll go into his half-dragon form, so he can wrap his tail around you. loves you more than anything and will do anything to make you comfortable. you need something? it’s yours, no matter the extremes he has to go to in order to get it. constantly making sure you take your time with everything, and making sure that you don’t overexert yourself.
“my love, i know you’re in pain, please don’t push yourself”
“i know, i know, i just have a little more work to do”
“i trust you, but i’m staying here with you, just in case. have you eaten? are you comfortable? do you need any pain relief?”

"Led thru the mist, by the milk-light of moon..."
A warm forest canopy greeted you when you opened your eyes, the vibrant reds and oranges of the leaves dense enough you couldn't see the sky. The surface beneath you was hard and cold, with uncomfortable ridges digging into your back. The air was a little chilly, a little misty. You looked around, trying to get your bearings.
The tree trunks were thicker than you'd ever seen before, the bark on them nearly black, with strange holes and creases that almost looked like faces. Slowly, you sat up, carefully moving your limbs to stretch them out. You were lying on a bench, you discovered, in a small clearing next to a well-worn path.
Why did you wake up on a bench?
How did you get here?
"Hey." The voice was quiet and calm, but it still startled you. You thought you were alone out here. "How are you feeling?" You turned towards the sound and watched as a person came into view, almost like he was materializing from the mist between the trees itself.
"Who are you?" You asked as you moved backwards on the bench, hoping to keep some kind of distance between him and yourself. If you had a better idea of where you were, you would've run.
"I am the Guide," he answered, coming further out of the shadows. His hair was light and windswept, his face soft, his cat-like eyes deep and sharp. He kept his hands in the pockets of his coat. You weren't sure if that was comforting or not.
He also didn't really answer your question. "What does that mean?"
"It's pretty straight forward," he responded, "I guide. And I know you have plenty of questions, so just get them out now."
For right now, at least, he didn't seem to be a danger to you. If he was, he would've done something by now. Or maybe he was luring you into a false sense of security, getting you to drop your guard, and then he would strike. Still, he was offering answers of some kind, and you were in desperate need of those, however you could get them.
"Where am I?" You asked as you looked around again, hoping for greater understanding of the woods you had awoken in.
"You are in the Unknown."
Your gaze shot back to him, the Guide. "What does that mean??" You snapped more than asked, because while that was technically an answer, it still didn't tell you anything.
The Guide only shrugged, "If anyone knew, it wouldn't be called 'the Unknown', now would it?"
You could only blink at him, at his non-answers that he probably believed to be helpful. It took you a moment to regather your thoughts and move on to the next most pressing question. "Okay, so, what am I doing here?"
He didn't respond immediately this time. Instead, he opened and closed his mouth, the look on his face growing increasingly more frustrated. You glanced down, a movement in his coat pockets capturing your attention. It looked like his hands were shaking, or maybe he was clenching and unclenching his fists.
"I can't tell you that," he finally said, his voice less soft and comforting, carrying a bit of that frustration in its tone.
"Why not?"
"I can't tell you that either," he huffed. You opened your mouth again, but he continued, "And before you ask why again, know that I want to. I always want to. But I can't get the words out of my mouth. I'm not allowed to."
You felt just as frustrated as he looked. "So what can you do?"
That question seemed to relax him again, his body returning to its odd stillness as he continued to stand there. "I can tell you about the options you have now that you're here."
"Options?" You repeated. "Like what?"
The Guide finally pulled one of his hands out of his pockets, holding a single finger up. "Well, option one: you can walk off in that general direction," he gestured to your right, "towards the light, and enter into the Great Unknown." You turned to look where he indicated.
The path that the bench was next to led either left or right, and the way right was significantly brighter than its opposite. Despite the friendly glow, you felt unnerved.
"But don't people always say 'don't go into the light'?" Because going into the light often meant death.
"And you could listen to them," he said. "Those who choose to go into the Great Unknown are never seen or heard from again. But ultimately, that choice is up to you."
So that way was definitely death.
You looked back at him, hoping for something better. "And option two?"
"Option two is wandering around the woods here," the guide looked around at the trees, "until you eventually and inevitably turn into an Edelwood tree, whose wood—according to legend—is then harvested and turned into oil to be used in some ancient lantern that harbors the soul of the Beast that also wanders the wood."
Now you looked at him like he was crazy. "I'm sorry, what??" He didn't miss a beat or bat an eye, his voice stayed the same even, monotonous tone, he said all of that like it was just another day here, wherever you really were.
"According to legend," he repeated, then shrugging, added, "again, no one really knows. Supposedly, a couple of kids arrived in the Unknown a while back, and they defeated the Beast before taking their leave." He looked away from you again, turning his gaze to the closest tree and slowly looking up. "But if the Beast were truly gone, then why are people still turning into Edelwood trees?"
You paid closer attention to the trees surrounding you now, with their nearly black bark and face-like holes and creases, and felt hundreds of empty eyes fall on you in return. How many people had wandered through the woods here for the forest to become this dense? How many ghosts of screams could you hear echoing on the breeze?
How long would it take the same fate to befall you?
"Is there a third option?" You asked, much more subdued than your recent questions. Part of you wondered if the trees could hear you as well.
"Of course," the Guide answered, and you felt your shoulders relax just a bit at that. "Your third and last option is to spend a month in Devil Town."
You had to close your eyes and take a moment to breathe, to tell yourself to remain calm. "Devil Town."
"Yes. It's not an actual town of devils, that's just its name."
"And no one knows why?" You guessed, opening your eyes to glare at him again.
He merely shrugged, "If we did, it wouldn't be in the Unknown."
You forced yourself to breathe slower, counting to ten in your mind. Yes, the Guide had answered every question you asked, but every answer was a non-answer. They didn't satisfy any of the curiosity you possessed, they simply led to more questions and even more non-answers.
"So my options are, one: definitely death; two: becoming a tree; or three: going to someplace called Devil Town?"
"For a month."
"Huh?"
"If you choose to go to Devil Town, you can only stay for a month," he explained.
"What happens after a month?"
"You get kicked out and you have to make an official choice. Either the Great Unknown, or the woods."
"So if death and tree are my only options in the end, then why bother with Devil Town at all?"
"Well," he started, but then paused. He looked frustrated again, like there were things he wanted to say but wasn't allowed to. Finally, he sighed. "They're your only options in the end right now. Depending on how things go in Devil Town, when your month is up you could have some other, more rare options opened up to you."
That was the first bit of good news you had heard since you woke up. "Like what?"
"Like..." he paused again, still struggling against whatever force was trying to keep him silent. When he spoke again, this time he sounded strained. "Like staying in Devil Town permanently, or, even more unlikely, going home."
You almost stood up in excitement. "If I spend a month in Devil Town, I can go home?"
"Maybe. Again, it depends. There's a lot of things that factor into that becoming an option, and very few have ever achieved it."
"But there's a chance," you insisted.
"Yes," he conceded, starting to relax again.
Part of you wanted to jump up and start heading to the ill-named town, whatever direction it was in, but the other part of yourself held back. "Is that chance worth it?" You dared to ask.
"That's up to you," he responded, yet another non-answer.
You rolled your eyes, wondering when this cycle of questions and non-answers was going to end. "Well, you're the guide! Guide me!"
The Guide shook his head, "I can only guide you towards the Great Unknown or to Devil Town, but you have to choose first."
Something about that made you curious. "Did you choose Devil Town?"
"I did," he nodded, "and then I chose to stay."
"What's it like there?" If this was your best option, you at least wanted to know as much about it as you could before you officially chose it.
He shrugged, "Life's alright in Devil Town. There's not really much to do there, but plenty of people to talk to."
"When does the month start?"
"Once you set foot in the town limits. After that, you have to stay within those limits, or things start getting… messy."
"Messy how?"
"I can't talk about it," he almost snapped, probably getting annoyed at your ability to ask questions he can't answer the way he wanted to. You wanted to ask about that, but figured he wouldn't be able to tell you about that either. "Now, is Devil Town your choice?"
You took one last look to your right, towards where the Great Unknown lied, and then looked up at the trees around you. Death and tree would not give you a chance to get home. You took a deep breath, relishing the cool air, and stood up. "Yes. I'll go to Devil Town."
The Guide nodded, then turned towards your left and started down the path. "Follow me."
You walked behind him in silence. He didn't seem to be much for conversation now that you had made your choice. You looked around as you walked, trying to take in and appreciate your new surroundings, but the trees all looked like they were watching you and you couldn't hear any animals hiding up in the branches. The only sounds you could make out were your combined footsteps on the dirt and the wind rustling through the leaves.
You weren't sure how long had passed before you finally cracked and broke the silence yourself. "Do you have a name?"
"I am the Guide," he responded, rather curtly in comparison to your earlier questions.
"That's a title," you shot back. "Do you have a name? Something people call you when they're talking about you or they're trying to get your attention?"
He didn't answer you right away, and you thought he wasn't going to, that you would go back to walking in silence. After a bit more walking, however, he sighed and said, "I did once. Now I am the Guide, and that's how people refer to me."
"Just, the Guide? There's nothing else?"
"Yes." He stopped walking to turn and look at you, and you nearly ran into him. "Whoever we came to Devil Town as, that's not who we are anymore, so we don't have these 'names'." The Guide turned around again and continued on his way. "You'll understand more after some time there."
You didn't move for a moment, lost in thought wondering what he meant. How did someone just not have a name anymore? And why did he sound a little sad when he said it?
You shook yourself from your ponderings and ran a bit to catch up with him. The last thing you wanted was to get left behind, in fear that you'd end up lost and then turn into a tree anyway. You didn't ask him any more questions, instead letting him guide you in peace.
Soon, you could see a break in the trees ahead of you, and through the mist you could make out the silhouettes of buildings. You started to feel anticipation crawl up your spine as you grew closer, and you wondered at what point you crossed the town limits. Had your month started already?
You could practically feel the mist on your skin as you came out of the tree line, moist and sticky and cold. You wrapped your arms around yourself and walked a bit closer to the Guide, not wanting to lose him. In front of you, Devil Town came fully into view.
The streets were made of cobblestone, with not a sidewalk or stoplight in sight. People loitered around the sides of buildings made of brick, or by lampposts that flickered as if their light was from a candle instead of a lightbulb. Everyone was dressed similarly, in coats that looked fuzzy and warm, with plaid scarves wrapped tightly around their necks. Many of the adults wore formal hats, while children had beanies or earmuffs.
It was like you stumbled into a ghost town that someone had decided to bring back to life, albeit unsuccessfully, and the remnants had yet to fade away again.
As the Guide led you further into Devil Town, an important question came to mind. "Where will I stay?" There were so many small buildings and even smaller shops, but you had yet to see anything that resembled a house or apartment complex.
"With the Fool," he answered, though it didn't give you any more confidence. "He has a book shop with a spare room. That's where most people like you stay until the month is up."
"How do I unlock the option to go home?" You whispered this question, not wanting anyone to overhear you. Home must be a touchy subject for those who were still here. "Is there something specific I need to do?"
The Guide only sighed in frustration, a sound you were starting to get used to. "I can't tell you that." It didn't deter you this time, you simply changed your question.
"What can you tell me?"
He took his time answering you again, this time waiting until the two of you were standing in front of a wooden door. With one hand on the doorknob, the Guide turned to look at you. The intensity of his gaze—locked dead onto yours—forced you back a step.
When he spoke, that intensity was carried through his voice, quiet but pointed. "Devil Town is tricky, and those who are here are trickier. Whatever it is you are running from, it won't catch you here. It can't. But that doesn't mean you're safe. Don't trust anyone, not even me, and especially not yourself."
He didn't give you a moment to recover, to process his words, before turning the knob and pushing inside the building, leaving you to follow after hesitantly.
"Ah, the Guide!" A new, deeper, cheerier voice said. "What brings you here? Another lost soul to harbor?"
You didn't like the term lost soul.
You looked around as they spoke, at the shelves and shelves of books. Or, book. Maybe you were tired or maybe you had become too confused, but it looked like every book was an exact copy of the one next to it: same height, same thickness, same color, same title.
What kind of bookshop only sold one book?
"Yes," came the response from the only person you had met so far. "Is your spare room empty?"
"Of course!" You finally looked at the new person, the Fool, the Guide had said. He was much taller, and was actually smiling at you, with deep dimples in his cheeks. He seemed much kinder than the Guide had when you first met him, but his words outside the shop still reverberated around in your head. "It's right this way," he gestured behind him, "please follow me, miss…?" He trailed off, waiting for you to introduce yourself.
That was when you realized, the Guide had never asked for your name. He never wondered who you were, beyond "another lost soul" to guide through the Unknown.
Don't trust anyone, not even me, especially not yourself.
What scared you the most, however, was that you couldn't answer his question.
"I don't remember," you told them, your voice small and shaky in a way it hadn't been since you woke up on that bench. You were confused, you were concerned, but you hadn't necessarily been scared. "I don't remember my name." You looked back and forth between them, hoping for some kind of help, though you weren't sure what either could offer you.
The Guide merely blinked at your words, probably having heard them before, countless times from countless others he's had to do this with since he chose to stay here. The Fool continued smiling at you, also not concerned but seeming to offer you more comfort.
"That's alright," the Fool shrugged, "you can pick out who you are later. I'll help you, if you like." You wanted his offer to be kind and generous, but it only reminded you of the conversation you had with the Guide on the way here and it only added to the fear that now had a solid grip around your throat.
Still, you walked towards the Fool, wanting to lay down and rest and get a proper moment to think and process everything that had happened. You did try to keep your distance from the bookshelves, still put off by the repeating book.
"Take care of her," the Guide said, taking his own steps towards the door.
"You know I will."
"I know you will try," the Guide sighed, "we'll see what happens. And for you."
You looked back at him, "Yes?"
"Your time has started. Be careful with what you do with it." The Guide turned away, his hand on the doorknob. He didn't turn it, though, instead his knuckles were turning white with how hard he was grasping it. "And whatever you do, stay away from the Loner."
The Guide sounded strained again, like he was specifically trying to get those words out, like it was something he wasn't supposed to be telling you but managed to anyway.. With that final warning, he pulled the door open and exited the bookshop, leaving you alone with the Fool.
"Don't mind him so much," the Fool tried again to comfort you as he led you down a small hallway and up a short staircase. "He tries to act all intense but he's practically harmless." You didn't respond, still worried about too many things, still trying to process everything that was happening.
He stopped outside a simple wooden door and gently pushed it open for you. "Here is your room," he said, "get yourself situated, rest if you like. I'll be downstairs."
You stepped into the space, cozy but still void of any life. A single bed, a chair in a corner, a wardrobe in the opposite one. The window was thin and didn't have much of a view, but it didn't let the cold in.
"Thank you, um..." you trailed off, still unused to the strange naming system. You felt especially uncomfortable calling him the Fool.
"The Fool," he said for you, still smiling. A strange and silly part of you wanted to poke his dimples, just to see if they were real. "And you're welcome. Don't worry too much about forgetting your name. Like I said, we can pick one out for you."
With that, the Fool left you alone, closing the door but not all the way, giving you space but letting you know if you needed something you could go to him.
You went over to the wardrobe, gently tugging on the vintage-looking knobs, worried they would pop out if you pulled too hard. The doors creaked open, showing you clothes similar in fashion to what the people in town were wearing, all dark tones with simple patterns, somewhere between vintage pioneer and modern school uniforms. You shrugged off your current coat, the long, dark brown one you didn't remember how you had gotten, and hung it up on an empty hanger.
Then you tenderly sat on the bed, testing out the mattress before putting your full weight on it. It wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world, but it was better than the bench you woke up on.
Why did you wake up on a bench?
How did you get here?
What had you gotten yourself into?

 🦋 Life Is Strange: Petnames.
Tumblr media
🦋 What do they call their partner, what do they like to be called?
 🐺 GN!Reader, no specific pronouns are mentioned!
🦋 Warnings: nathan prescotts issues, sappy stuff and my never ending beef with nathan prescott
 🦋 A/N: Bored, tired and severely sleep deprived. I'm sticking to actually posting for once? Shocking! The word petname has me giggling like a kid and I've got no idea why.
Tumblr media
 🦋 Chloe Price:
 💓 Chloe would probably call you the basics like babe, baby and hey maybe even babycakes as some classic comedy. She seems like the type to just make the coolest petnames in her head and spit 'em out in a split second. (She'll probably call you dude, regardless of your gender.)
 🤍 She'd deep down enjoy those real sappy, cute and sort of cringe petnames. Like pumpkin and sweetheart, you know? Maybe even puddin' but in a southern accent, apart from that she doesn't really care.
(Chloe's just a big softie, come onnn!)
Tumblr media
🦋Kate Marsh:
💓Kate, katie, literal angel, and she'd probably call you her angel as well! She'd also call you darling, dearest, my love and probably hon/honey.
🤍She'd enjoy and appreciate it if you were affectionate with petnames like the way she is, so probably darling, angel and my love if I were to guess.
Tumblr media
🦋Max Caulfield:
💓I get huge calling her partner broski and dude vibes, no matter your gender which is probably gonna be a little like Warren's headcanons. Calls you by your name and maybe sweetheart or greets you after a while like `Hey there, cowboy!` (again, regardless of your gender.)
🤍Doesn't care what you call her, lovey dovey and insist on calling her the most sickening, romance novel petnames? Okay, it's what you like and she probably doesn't mind.
Tumblr media
🦋Rachel Amber:
💓Petnames are mandatory, MANDATORY!! Am I the only one getting the vibe she'd call her partner baby girl/baby boy or..?
💓Apart from that it's angel, love, sweetie and maybe babe. Probably reminds you that you're handsome or pretty nearly everyday because she's a theatre kid and DRAMATIC, or maybe she just wants to show you sum love.
🤍Call her what she calls you or add some little sappy nicknames in there cause she deserves better and just wants to feel the good old romance in the air.

🦋Victoria Chase:
💓Okay big old bully:( She's the good old classic mean girl in public but with you? She's like a totally different person, I mean forget all those horrible, awful things she's done..ahem..
💓If you're super popular and everyone knows who you are, she'll call you babe and hon in public. If you're not as popular as her, she might not put the best effort in but she's still got your back!
💓In private it's my love, babe, baby, hon/honey, all types of sappy stuff.
🤍Isn't a big deal to her what you call her just be affectionate dude (don't call her dude, she'll be like wtf)
Tumblr media
🦋Warren Graham:
💓Is for sure calling you dude, bro and broski like yeah you're in a relationship but he didn't ask. Take it or leave it, broski! Refers to you as his partner no matter what, he'll be struggling to call you anything else and that has me laughing a little. (favourite nerd)
💓I feel like he'd jokingly call you dumbass, if you're okay with that probably.
🤍LOVE, AFFECTION, ADORAAATION! Put some effort in, like yeah he barely calls you anything romantic and cute but like leave him alone okay?! He's trying his best!
🤍Call him anything cause he'll eat that shit up daily for every meal, he loves you and just needs SOMETHING!
Tumblr media
🦋Nathan Prescott:
💓It's dickhead again, let me just pull out my book of problems! Comedic purposes..very hilarious but he's got some intense issues and this is gonna be like one of those shit love stories.
💓He's not big and open about your relationship so he doesn't call you anything in public (especially if you're a guy, sorry dude but he's got denial issues up the ass).
💓He might call you babe or somethin' else, he's an asshole struggling with affection and other things.
🤍Call him what you wish just don't try it in public because he'll get all pissed off and act like he's never seen you in his life. Like, how dare you be affectionate and loving?!
🤍He's the problem.

Okay this is kind of a vent but am I the only one who thought s4 of The Dragon Prince felt really,, off?
Like it was good and well executed and all of this could very well just be a consequence of COVID and Netflix messing with season four's production but something about this season felt really weird. And, truthfully, it's kind of the everything that feels off.
A lot of the characters felt very out of character. I'm sorry but Callum should've been rightfully VERY upset with Rayla. She abandons him on the day of his birthday after he nearly loses her to the moon lake, after she makes a promise to stay with him and get through all of their shit together, and she DOESN'T COME BACK FOR YEARS. And when she does come back, they're suddenly just really awkward but still in love??? HUH??? Did I miss something?? Why are they still in their "awkward, before they get together" phase??? Callum should rightfully be extremely upset with Rayla if not furious with her!! You could have kept them amicable when Rayla comes back! She could be a bit distant but still hopeful that Callum will forgive her easily but realizes Callum is angry and is trying to be kind to her even though he's clearly not happy! Let him tell her off! Why didn't he do that??? You could still have him be nice but there's a bittersweetness to it.
Speaking of Rayla, she felt off too. Idk she just,, wasn't distant enough. You'd think after being alone for years on end she'd be a bit less trusting of others, even the friends she knew. But people change! She shouldn't have been sure how much Callum would've changed. Also her lemur doesn't look right. She noticeably stands out amongst the other characters and creature designs. Bait, although he looks a bit like a plushy, works because he feels like a unique creature to this world. Rayla's lemur just straight up looks like a doll. She doesn't look right. Also she's just a lemur with extra limbs. That's it. And she's kind of purple. Why not get weirder with her and mash her up with another animal? Like a squirrel or maybe a hawk? Idk she just doesn't look right.
Claudia also feels,, very strange. Like yes she's funny and dorky but her antics felt really amped up this season. She feels dumber somehow. And Claudia isn't dumb. She's very smart actually but she can be oblivious sometimes. But I dunno she feels too comedic this season which creates such a whiplash for me. She's the villain and brought her father back from the dead. So why is she so,, dumbed down? Also her boyfriend,, he's fine I suppose? But why would Claudia be dating an elf? HE'S AN ELF. He also doesn't like dark magic?? Huh?? Wouldn't it be more of a novel concept for him to be an elf who also wants to do dark magic? Shouldn't he be in favor of that? Why was he against it? Terry never feels like a proper villain. And outside of dating Claudia, he has no motive to stay with her or her father! He doesn't like dark magic so why is he with Claudia? How did they meet? How did they become friends? What made her like him?? CAUSE HE SEEMS THOROUGHLY ALIGNED WITH THE ELVES in terms of worldviews on magic! Terry also feels out of place in terms of his comedy. The fart joke thing got old fairly quickly for me as well. I get it, it's a kid show, but I dunno it felt a little too much like writer's weird fetish in certain places.
Ezran feels fine though in terms of writing. He still feels in character and like he's evolved. He's wiser and has been ruling as king for a while now. And I like that they kept the friendship with him and Zym the same, that was nice! I just wish Zym could talk now that's he's older. Also, shouldn't he be a bit bigger? Tbh I always thought dragons grew super quickly as adolescents. Ah well, not issues with them. Also Soren. He is still the loml and I can't ever hate him. I do wish he could've bonded with and kept a wyvern though. That would've been cool as hell.
Now for the animation. It was too smooth for me. I love the choppy uneven Spiderverse inspired look of the second and third season so much! But in s4, I could barely find spots where the animation wasn't super smooth. The colors of this season are also way off. We spend a majority of the time in (what I am assuming is) Earthblood elf territory but the colors don't look right. They don't gel together very well. This is especially noticeable in the cave scene towards the end of the season. All of those crystals were so deeply saturated and NONE of those colors looked nice together. Especially on gray speckled rock. It was hard for me to see what I was supposed to be looking at! Emphasis and focus were two aspects which this show really seemed to struggle with this season in terms of visuals. The updated character designs look nice though, I don't have any qualms there (aside from the lemur).
Except for the Earthblood elves. WHY DID YOU TAKE AWAY THEIR COOL TREE BRANCH HORNS CONCEPT ART. They had moss and leaves on their shoulders and bodies. And cool swirly carvings. Why did they take that away :(
This season also feels like it's missing a LOT of setup for a LOT of lore and plot points. Especially the plot point with Callum being possessed by Aaravos. WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?? HOW CAN AARAVOS DO THIS?? THIS BEGS THE QUESTION WHY AARAVOS DIDN'T FORCE VIREN SO CUT HIS HAND AND DO THE CATERPILLAR THING WILLINGLY. AARAVOS SHOULDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO AFFECT THE OUTSIDE WORLD RIGHT?? AM I GOING INSANE?? AND WHY DOES AARAVOS EVEN WANT TO POSSESS CALLUM?? BECAUSE HE CAN DO MAGIC?? HE ONLY KNOWS SKY MAGIC AS OF S4. I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING INSANE.
Idk maybe all of my issues with this season will be remedied by s5 which I still need to watch. Just needed to vent this out. I still like this show and I'll keep watching it but man, it's gained some problems for me I can't really seem to ignore. Especially since the first 3 seasons were so well paced.

WE'RE STARTING SPOOKY SEASON EARLIER IM SOOOOOO EXCITED OMG
okay okay i wanna hear your opinion on pedro boys and what monsters they would be !!!!
LETS START SPOOKY SUMMER OFF RIGHT AND IM SO GLAD ITS WITH YOU BB thank you for sending this amazing ask in 🥺🎃 ✨
Okay…this is something I know we’ve talked about many times in our deep discussions but now that I think about the other boys I’m like “…oh shit” so here we GO LOL
Javi P: a type of were-creature, I love the idea of Javi having the ties to a Texas and Latino based monster and as someone who’s great tia swore she saw the chupacabra and then knowing there’s a monster/beast I’ve heard legend about living in the hill country, theres something familiar and close knit tradition about were-creatures based in local and cultural urban legends that fits Javi’s vibes about being so connected to his home
Pero T: yes he is a peak werewolf but I will say this until I write the fic but he is a lake monster, creature from the black lagoon style, he lurks likes his isolation and is aware to his surroundings. He would do perfect as a lake monster simply surviving as a grumpy hiding monster under the waves
Marcus Pike: DRAGON!!! Grand beautiful majestic creatures that hoard precious things? Marcus is all about the arts and seeing the beauty in everything, those vibes just make me think of him as this beautiful grand dragon that hoards art until he finds you his most precious treasure
Dave York: something demonic, he always reminds me of the Lucifer figure - this perfect soldier who followed orders until he questioned his existence and is now disillusioned and corrupt living on his own terms now
Frankie: my sweet werewolf boy, loyal big and forever protective and will bare his fangs whenever he feels threatens and has a bit of a temper, also can you imagine how COZY HE WOULD BE??
Din: ghost, he’s a ghost that’s simply living in this strange beskar armor but his spirit is so strong and righteous that it stays alive and haunts his armor. But he is tender and speaks with the softest whispers in the wind, like a echo you wonder if you even heard in the first place
Joel: a ghost like Din but a much scarier version, like a spirit of vengeance that is violent and fierce, powerful in its rage but a known protector that watches over anyone who walks home alone at night, he sits in the trees with eyes that are so dark they blend with the night
Jack: Vampire, suave a bit extravagant and luxurious and I only am doing this cause I want him to make all the stupid vampire puns and even has fake vampire plastic teeth he playfully uses from time to time, also can you imagine him slick gelled hair back super classic Dracula style?? 😮‍💨
Dieter: shapeshifter, he’s a man of many faces and many roles that you wonder if he even knows what his true self looks like anymore, goes into how he’s an actor and I think there’s so many layers to dieter that he keeps up to make sure no one truly knows him
Ezra: eldritch space creature, has many eyes speaks in many voices that seem out of this realm but he is kind and moves very gently. He is wise beyond his years and is interested in all things human, but like any eldritch creature it can be tricky and turn on a whim when need be
Javi G: Mothman!! Super sweet and chattery and is kind of an odd ball but simply wants to be left alone in the woods but remains curious about the world around him, holds a certain charm to him but is still a dangerous creature underneath it all
Wow I ramble away with these I’m SORRY

Thoughts on Between Us as a former swimmer and lifeguard.
• I’ve mentioned before, but I’ll say it again because I find it comical and endearing, their form when diving or swimming. It’s very cute and not great. And I can’t blame the actors for that. I was taught how to dive off the blocks (into shallow water) when I was maybe 12 so I’ve had lots of practice - and even I’ve biffed it.
• I’ve seen some people say that Team’s brother (Ton?) and Team struggling/drowning is unrealistic - no. In fact, that’s one of the most REAL drowning scenarios I’ve seen in media. Even as a lifeguard - 6 yrs under my belt, trained, etc. - my boss always said “don’t try to save someone if you aren’t on the clock” Why? Because oftentimes the victim unintentionally drowns the savor…it’s super common sadly.
• Team’s cramp/swimming alone/drowning - they did a good job of this in the show (but from what I’ve read it’s more explained in Hemp Rope) but a real talented swimmer is not going to be in THAT much danger normally. Why? We aren’t afraid of drowning, so generally we wouldn’t panic and therefore would be fine. Roll onto our back, tread water with single leg and arms, reach for the Lane line, etc. OBVIOUSLY, 2 other things are at play here with Team. 1) he’s exhausted, in part because of his extra practicing but also his chronic insomnia (both of which are more highlighted in the book) and 2) he does have a fear of drowning. So I think his panic is pretty justified all and all. And, yeah, never swim alone but certainly NEVER DIVE alone. A great swimmer will likely be fine even in an emergency like Teams BUT if you hit your head diving…which I’ve seen happen…no, no swimming alone please and thank you.
• this one is a strange one, but Win’s jewelry. Now obviously this is a club AND since they discussed things like being the country rep (hinting at Olympics territory) it’s kinda a mute point but I find it funny. In the US (at least at the high school level) you can’t wear jewelry at all during meets 😂 like I got my nose pierced before season once and, oh boy, I had to take it out for every event and then run to the locker room to shove that thing back in…it was a thing…
• Win being able to get Team out - based on the trailer it’s seems safe to assume that Team doesn’t fully lose consciousness BUT it is so hard to pull a person from the water by yourself! Like it’s not fun at all.
Related but unrelated rambling; Rescue Breathing =/= CPR. Now things might have changed since I was last certified but damn 😂 no one seems to get this. CPR is if the heart stopped beating - you don’t want to go crack a rib on someone if it isn’t necessary. Most of these fics Win (or anyone) would not be doing CPR (unless they’d checked and found no pulse). 😆
Okay………that’s it for my rambles. I really should be working but I’m just dead so this is what I decided to do. If anyone actually read this 😆 have a wonderful day and I hope you’re looking forward to Sunday cause I am! Hoping to trick my bestie into watching all the episodes with me, but we gotta finish The Eclipse first haha.

1, 2, & 5 for the ask game w/ mojo!! nice to see someone else who has him as a fav LOL
1. Why do you like or dislike this character?
I highly, HIGHLY like this strange man-like creature. 🤣 And I like him for many reasons, to be sure! The reasons for why I like the character of Mojo Jojo so much are numerous indeed, and I fear that it would take me quite a long time (and quite a few paragraphs, if I am to be honest about it) to precisely list all of the reasons in a manner that would be satisfying for the high standards I hold for myself. Nevertheless, I will attempt to summarize said reasons so that I will not be wasting all of the precious time that I have today on this particular ask, the ask which you have asked of me when you sent me this list of asks from the ask game which I posted on my internet blog.
Now, let me begin to attempt to succinctly list this list describing why I like Mojo Jojo: NUMBER ONE! I quite like his manner of speaking, because the manner in which he speaks is humorous and a source of much joy for my ears. The repetition of words and the cadence of his phrasing is quite pleasing, and the performance of his voice actor, my beloved and super talented Roger L. Jackson, is flawless! Perfect! He should have won multiple awards for it! But he didn’t! It is a crime, the kind of crime Mojo Jojo himself would not attempt to commit. It would be beneath him to deprive the man who gives him his voice of the praise he deserves!
NUMBER TWO! I enjoy the character design that was designed for his character! On one hand, he is a cute and adorable little monkey, and, at first glance, you may not think that he could be a force to be reckoned with. But on the other hand, he actually IS a force to be reckoned with since, despite his cuteness, he can look evil and menacing in an instant. He wears a very cool villainous suit, one which would strike fear into even the bravest of heroes! The color combination of blue and purple that he wears, combined with his green skin coloration, is rather fetching.
NUMBER THREE! His personality is one that is interesting, very interesting indeed, but also one that can be, at times, highly relatable. He has a grumpy and pessimistic demeanor, is a bit of a loner who at most times prefers to be left alone, and is frequently annoyed with the uncultured and boorish actions of others. Same, honestly, when I am at my worst! Speaking of being the worst, that is also something that Mojo Jojo is quite adept at, since he is a thoroughly entertaining supervillain whose super evil antics always, without fail, elicit a chuckle or two from whoever may be watching.
…okay, well, now that I have accomplished my task of listing said list of reasons describing why I like Mojo Jojo, I will continue to answer the rest of the asks you have requested, albeit in a less belabored manner that will no longer reflect the speech of the aforementioned evil genius. Hopefully, despite this all being summarized (if you can believe it!), it was an adequate response, a response which I hope you have enjoyed!
...boy, that was a mouthful. Anyway...
2. Favorite canon thing about this character?
I like that he’s so versatile! He’s silly enough that he can be plopped into a silly, goofy story where he acts like a total incompetent dork, and he’s evil enough that you could write him into a darker storyline where he could be an actual threat. It never feels weird or forced, and it's cool that he can do both so well!
5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?
A little obvious, but of course, this classic:

📕 if you're still doing this 💙
I am! 🤍 Oo let’s talk about the Being Human AU! It’s lined up to be published after Demons is finished and I’m super excited about this one…
Based on (but not directly following the same plot) as BBC’s Being Human where Eddie is a vampire created by one Henry Creel (lol) when he almost dies in battle during WW1. He serves under Creel with the rest of his vampire underlings for years doing his bidding until he finally escapes and runs away. He’s been running ever since.
It’s the eighties and Steve Harrington is just a regular guy trying to mend his relationship with his journalist (more like paranormal investigator at this point *sigh*) girlfriend who has been tailing (lol) the strange things (lol) going on in Hawkins. It’s fine, if not a little exhausting, until one night he gets bitten by some animal in the woods while out keeping his girlfriend from getting killed. Now he painfully shifts into a wolf like creature once a month. Great.
But it turns out he isn’t the only freak in town, his coworker Eddie is an actual vampire who’s almost like a hundred years old and has to go out and suck the blood of animals so he doesn’t snap and hurt anybody, and he can tell that Steve’s a… werewolf? Just by the scent of his tainted blood. He seems to have been around long enough to know about the different kind of creatures in the world, hiding amongst the humans. Which is helpful to a newbie like Steve.
When Nancy breaks up with Steve after losing her friend Barb, he decides to get a new place in town and split the rent with Eddie, might as well have a housemate that he won’t kill and eat by accident. They sign a lease from this guy Jason who was two years behind Steve in school. He’s an okay guy, kind of a golden boy prick, but hey, so was Steve. Also, his fiancé died a few years back when she fell down a flight of stairs, so I mean who wouldn’t have a little attitude against life.
Eddie doesn’t like him, but he doesn’t really like anyone. The house is nice enough and the price is low. Apparently there were a few other tenants before them claiming they kept hearing and seeing things. The disturbances were too numerous and too often for anyone to want to live there. Eddie’s unbothered when Steve brings this up. What’s scarier than them, anyway?
It’s only a few days in their new place when they realize they aren’t alone, stuff gets knocked off the counters and they hear light footsteps on the stairs. There’s messages on their mirrors and the walls telling them to leave.
Having enough one day, they track down the noises to eventually find a petite young woman in the spare bedroom. Steve asks her how she got into their house, but Eddie knows right away that she’s a ghost. No blood. Her names Chrissy, Jason’s fiancé, the one who fell down the stairs and died. She’s trapped with “unfinished business” unable to crossover. If they want to stay, she comes with the house.

hey i'm glad you're talking about tribal membership because while i am clearly visibly first and foremost a white dude i am also métis with status and all and it can feel really strange to grapple with like the borders of participation and heritage and where it feels like appropriation especially when you are not racialized as being native. just here to say yeah i get what youre saying
*reaches towards you in understanding* This was a nice message to receive… i like to know im not alone. and yeah it’s super super alienating. i’m very conscious of the fact that im a descendant, not a member of the tribe, and that my family has had a lot of our native history scrubbed from us. but it’s also, like. idk i can’t really be like No none of this ever happened when one of my great great great grandparents was sold into slavery as a “get rich quick scheme” because he was visibly indigenous/nonwhite. and it just breaks my heart because i know why this was all buried and taken away! it’s because it had to be for any of us to survive! but it was still such a huge theft and it left me and my mother and im sure when he gets older my brother all sort of in this Nowhere space wherein we’ve got these roots and these facts and these stories and so on and so forth but nothing concrete to show for it. and most of the time i’m okay with it because it’s like What can you do really, but sometimes it just makes me cry because i want so badly to have that community and do right by those people who sacrificed so much so i could live a life relatively unimpeded by the violence they faced and make sure that i remember and honor them and their lives and their cultures but it just sometimes feels like i’ll never be able to have that. and it sucks! but it is what it is.

Companions with a teen sole who’s really angry for seemingly no reason most of the time. They’re super aggressive and rough with things but shit gets done. One day she comes up to them super quite and asks if they can talk,when they do talk they open up about how the had a real bad life before the war and is angers that their abuser took it away from them and say the find out they are still alive. Sole starts to cry and asks them to help take care of it. After said abuser is taken care of they are a really outgoing kid and is genuinely happy (so so so sorry if this is so long)
I just wanna publicly announce that I am obsessed with teen Courier/Sole content, so I'm super excited to write this! Thank you for sending it! Also upon reading this ask, I would 100% die for teen Sole and I know for a fact that most of the companions happily would too <33
//
Companions React to Teen!Sole Getting Their Revenge - TW: Abuse
(Includes: Cait, Codsworth, Curie, Danse, Deacon, Hancock, MacCready, Nick, Piper and Preston)
Cait
She'll understand Sole's anger better than anyone, having lived through that same kind of anger herself. Up until now, she'd been fairly distant with Sole, and Sole had been the same with her, but upon hearing their story, all Cait wants to do is help them. She remembers being that angry as a teen herself, maybe her and Sole weren't so different after all. At first, she will point out to Sole that sometimes revenge doesn't make a person feel better, which she knows from experience, but if they're really serious about it, she won't try and talk them out of it. Of course, Cait will go with them to deal with their abuser, and she'll make sure that Sole gets the killing blow on them. After everything they'd told her, it seems only fitting that they put an end to this. Cait worries that Sole will be racked with the same guilt she was after killing her parents, unsure of how to help them navigate a pain she still hadn't figured out how to manage herself Much to her surprise, Sole bounces back better than ever, seeming like a genuinely happy kid now they were free of their abuser. It strangely felt like a weight off of Cait's own shoulders to see Sole acting like a teenager for once in their life. Maybe she hadn't gotten that with herself, but hey, somehow helping Sole had made her feel a little bit better about her own shitty life.
Codsworth
Sole's loyal robot butler already knows of their pain all too well, but actually seeing them acknowledge it for the first time and start breaking down makes it all the worse. It's hard for him to be faced with the one problem he was never able to solve, perhaps that's why he reluctantly agrees to help Sole take care of their abuser - even though he knows it's not the best way to deal with the problem, but he'd do anything to help Sole feel better. He's prepared to help Sole deal with whatever emotions they may go through after killing their abuser. He mostly expects Sole to be filled with anger and bitterness afterwards, and is even more surprised when they seem to be doing better. He's overjoyed by this, seeing Sole smile again and hearing them laugh for the first time in years. Codsworth is proud of Sole too, for suffering through something so terrible for so many years and now being able to hold their head up high and put it behind them. While taking a life is never something Codsworth necessarily wants to do, just knowing Sole is doing better is enough for him to accept that it had to be done on this occasion.
Curie
She doesn't understand when Sole first opens up to her. How could anyone ever do something like that to another person, let alone someone so young. Curie's heart breaks for Sole, wanting nothing more than to comfort them and tell them it will all be okay, but how can she promise that when the person who did this is still alive? Curie doesn't agree with murder, even in a world like this, but it's hard for her to reject Sole asking her for help. Eventually, she agrees to go with him, if only to make sure they're okay, but she refuses to be involved in the bloodshed she knows will take place. Once it's over, Curie isn't exactly sure what she can do to help Sole, clueless as to what feelings they may be going through. She can barely understand her own most of the time, something like this seems like far too much for her to be able to handle. She tries nonetheless though, and is more than relieved when Sole actually seems to be doing well - better, even. Watching her friend go from this angry, intimidating person to a genuinely happy and outgoing young person makes the entire ordeal feel almost worth it, but she still worries about them putting on a brave face. If Sole ever brings it up again, Curie will suggest seeing a therapist may help them to work through the pain of their past, and - knowing how hard it is to come across doctors in the wastelands, let alone therapists - will offer to lend an ear if they ever just want to vent about it at any time.
Danse
He's heard stories like this before from his fellow soldiers, but coming from a child? Danse almost tears up at the thought of it, even more so when Sole starts to cry themselves, but he remains composed, much to his own relief. It explains a lot about their personality and Danse regrets all the times he chalked it down to insubordination or just simple teenage rebellion. He feels a sort of responsibility to Sole, being their commanding officer, and finds himself feeling almost protective over them. He does struggle to comfort them, but he still tries his best, reassuring them that their abuser can't hurt them anymore, until Sole explains to him that the person who did this to them is still alive and could still come back to hurt them all over again. They don't need to ask him for help dealing with their abuser twice, he'd just be ridding the Commonwealth of scum anyway, at least this way, he'd be helping someone he personally knew and cared for. The side of Sole that comes out after dealing with their abuser is refreshing to see, it's not often you see a teenager in a world like this get to act their age. In fact, Danse begins to notice himself being ever so slightly more upbeat, smiling a little at Sole's corny jokes that he would've frowned at not so long ago. Perhaps this new side of Sole is beginning to bring out a new side of him too, but if nothing else, all Danse knows now is that he'll protect Sole, no matter what it takes.
Deacon
Deacon knows revenge, as much as he'd like to pretend losing Barbara didn't take him down that same dark path he fears Sole may be starting to look towards now. It's strange to see someone so previously stoic open up to him, of all people, and he isn't quite sure what to do with the information he's being given, expect feel an overwhelming amount of sympathy for his friend. He isn't the best at dealing with his own emotions, let alone other people's, and when Sole begins to cry, all he can do is wrap an arm around them, knowing that nothing he could say would make the situation better. Sole doesn't even need to ask him to help them deal with their abuser, he already knows where they're going with the conversation when they explain they're still alive and they know where they are. He does what he can to talk Sole out of it, but they're completely dead set on their decision and Deacon knows it'd be hypocritical of him to blame them after what he'd done to the UP Deathclaws. He has a terrible feeling about it, but he can't let Sole go through any of that alone, he could never forgive himself if something was to happen to them because he didn't go with them. The whole experience takes him back to his own revenge mission and after the ordeal is over, Deacon finds himself telling Sole his own story, explaining why he was so anxious about helping them kill their abuser. Sole goes back to Sanctuary and dismisses Deacon, stating that they need some time alone to process everything. He doesn't see Sole for about a week, and when they finally return to Railroad HQ, they're completely unrecognisable from the angry teenager he'd seen leave that vault. Naturally, Deacon's still concerned about how they might be coping, but he won't press the matter if he doesn't think Sole wants to talk about it, instead he'll just be grateful that they seem happy, and he'll do anything to keep them happy for as long as he can.
Hancock
He already wants to kill Sole's abuser from the second they start telling him about their past. What kind of monster can make an innocent kid's life so miserable like that? He's surprisingly good at comforting Sole, despite his own anger towards the person that made them feel this way, and he'll just hold them while they cry, if they're comfortable with it. He's probably the least likely out of all the companions to hesitate when being asked to help take care of Sole's abuser. Sure, he knows it won't do them any good in the long run, but who's he to tell them no? The least he can do is go with them and make sure it goes down smoothly, or at least as smoothly as something like this can. He doesn't really know what to expect after Sole's abuser is dead, offering them time to themselves if they need it, but Sole bounces back from the incident so quickly it's almost impressive. This new side of Sole is one that Hancock wishes he could've seen sooner, just being around Sole now is enough to put him in a happy mood for the rest of the day. It's just nice to see them live a good life after everything they went through before the war. He ends up being more protective over Sole afterwards than he was of them initially, not wanting anyone to give them a reason to not be happy again.
MacCready
As a parent himself, MacCready wants to shield Sole from whatever they've endured in the past, even if he doesn't know how to show it. He still remembers what it was like to be a teenager himself in a world like this and in general, and that combined with everything Sole went through? He wasn't sure just anyone could've made it through that. Of course, he knows revenge won't make much of a difference, but knowing how important it is to Sole, he can't say no. Besides, they still had that deal already - Sole points, MacCready shoots. Afterwards, he isn't sure if he's more shocked that Sole actually seems to be doing better than ever or that they've actually found a way to be happy in a world like this. He figures they're stronger than he ever could be, and finds himself actually starting to admire them. He knows he can't stop Sole from ever feeling that kind of pain again, or ever experiencing something as terrible as they did, but at least he's managed to prevent it from happening again this one time. MacCready realises how impossible it is, but he still insists on protecting Sole from everything he can, they're his family now.
Nick Valentine
Although violence is never Nick's go to answer, he can't exactly blame Sole for feeling like it's the only choice they have, especially after everything they'd gone through in the past. Nick had always worried that Sole's aggressiveness may have been linked to something they'd gone through - that was the case with so many people in this world nowadays - but he'd never wanted to pry and had opted to wait until Sole felt comfortable telling him. He did appreciate them feeling as though they could confide in Nick, and normally he would've never agreed to some revenge mission once Sole asked if he'd help them take care of their abuser, but he figured he could make an exception for someone he cared for. Unlike the other companions, Nick will be upfront and ask Sole if they're putting on a brave face when they start to seem happy, worrying that they may be bottling up all their emotions towards killing their abuser. He's relieved, though, seeing Sole finally be able to happy, especially after going through so much at such a young age. Even though he can't change what happened to them, he can try and make their life now as good as it possibly can be.
Piper
Piper feels awful, wanting to help Sole feel better, but knowing there's nothing she can do to ease the pain they've suffered through. When Sole admits they know their abuser is still alive and wants to take care of them once and for all, with Piper's help, their companion is understandably reluctant. She can help Sole, but will it really make them feel any better in the long run? She isn't so sure. Still, after a lot of convincing and asking, Piper agrees to go with Sole to deal with their abuser, even if just to be there for moral support. Afterwards, Piper will initially be relieved that Sole seems to be happier. She'd always wondered how some so young could be so full of anger, it was actually nice to see a happier and more outgoing side to them. Of course, she will be sure to offer Sole support if they ever need to talk, rather than letting their troubles eat away at them. Sure, she's better at talking sometimes than she is at listening, but anything for a friend, especially one as good as Sole.
Preston
He knew there were bad people in the world - he'd seen enough of them in Quincy alone - but how could someone be this cruel to someone so young? Sole deserved better and Preston wished he could take away the pain they'd experienced. He has no problem agreeing to go with Sole to take care of their abuser, after all, this person is just as bad as a raider or a gunner, if not worse, he'd just be doing the Commonwealth a favour and protecting Sole. Besides, Sole has helped him and the other Quincy survivors so much in the time he's known them, it's only right that he helps them, they've never asked him for anything until now. Since Preston treats killing Sole's abuser like taking out another raider camp or super mutant outpost, he doesn't think Sole will feel much guilt about it - why should they? He's just glad to see Sole find happiness again, they deserve the peace, even though it's hard to come across in a world like this. It almost inspires Preston, maybe there's hope that he can find happiness again one day too.

may music rotation
this month might not have been a super great month for music but from what i found it was a FANTASTIC month for lyrics and summer-esque songs!!!!!!!
back home - mila ziska: this song is so melancholic and sweet and it embodies the spirit of summer so cleanly. ‘harvest all the seeds i’ve sown pick the fruit once you come back home’  ‘i have this force within me it pulls me like the ocean tide’ and ‘oh growing up is a strange thing it’s like it happens over night’ i’ve been here for centuries. i’ve been here for days. i am every age i have ever been but i still know nothing. i am old and i am young and i am trying to come home. i want to go home. all stories are about coming home!!!!!!!
also this song is formally VERY similar to ‘the best day’ by taylor swift so that of course made it hit even harder
quarter life crisis - isabel dumma: talk about bop!!!! the chorus is amazing and so so so accurate and then the bridge??? ‘floatin’ ain’t the same as swimmin’ i know i ain’t drowning but breathin’ isn’t livin’ 
vagabond - overcoats: THIS song. this song has been the one i’ve played most this month because one it’s an absolute banger and second of all it read me for filth and the lyrics are so beautifully crafted and honest and pure and delivered impeccably. it’s a sweet, slow melody and coupled with the lyrics it reached into the depths of my soul and pulled out everything i can’t say and put it into this song like 
‘i’m just learning how to make peace with feeling small’ ‘but i might drive off if it gets too hard’ ‘there’s always a sunset that i wanna run into’ ‘i’m searching but i’m not lost’ and my all time favorite lyric that put me on the floor when i heard it the first time- ‘i’m a growing tree a few missing leaves i can’t shelter you don’t sit under me’ HELLO????? 
anyway, i am a HUGE fan of the overcoats and i am so proud of them for their success and for their new album!!!!! which is where this song is from but have i been able to listen to it yet? no i keep playing this song on repeat 
fireworks - JOSEPH: now for ANOTHER song that read me for filth. lately i’ve been feeling this exact way since all my friends and people around me have reached certain milestones in life- such as getting married, settling down, etc- that i haven’t and i’m left even more alone and bereft. but THIS SONG said that’s okay!!!!!!!! this song understood!!!!!! it said i’m not alone feeling this way!!!!
every lyric absolutely sent me through the roof but these especially:  ‘all these long songs might be no good for me’ ‘how long will i wait to be happy all my friends ask me’ ‘what if i’m wrong wrong to think there’s more to this story’ ‘an act of faith even though it hurts to shut that door am i holding out forever?’ ‘am i headstrong or foolish every night waiting for lighting to strike whole you’ve got blue skies?’ and my favorite- ‘i wish i could just flip a switch and accept your kind of muted bliss’ WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! once again HOW did they put it into words!!!!!! this song has such a special place in my heart. i can’t tell you how many times i’ve not only listened to it but also screamed along and cried to it 
also, JOSEPH always creates the most compelling and just fun to listen to songs and this is no exception!!!!!!!!! the harmonies are delicious and the music dropping at certain points is incredible and the beat has me dancing around the room. filed right under beach music! 
waves crash - JOSEPH: ok yes another song that turned me inside out and shook loose every embarrassment and fear and secret that i kept hidden and turned it into a song that said it’s okay!!!!!!! i understand!!!!! you are still worthy!!!!! 
again, every lyric is a masterpiece. ‘i’m a tall tall tree reaching up in the breeze’ *crying* i AM a tree!!!!!!! ‘i’m a limb of goodness in motion’ you’re getting emotional over nature comparisons? THE TREE AND OCEAN METAPHORS GOT TO ME OKAY. speaking of oceans in this, the chorus is insane. ‘waves crash clouds break yet here i am ashamed of all the cracks trying to glue the right mask in place’ shut up!!!!!!!!!! it’s a ballad. it’s everything. the vocalizations made me cry. they are cries. it sent me to my knees 
wild uncharted waters - jonah hauer-king: i saw the little mermaid in theaters recently and boy was i NOT prepared for eric to sing but honestly????? best song in the movie and on the album. idk if it was the euphoria of hearing it for the first time or the sheer surprise but this song is a banger. 
‘all i ever wanted was the open sky and sea’ SO REAL. ‘now i am on the shoreline but i am still lost at sea’ ‘in my mind your melody goes on stronger than the undertow’ ‘when your eyes outshine the horizon line’ ‘now i’m right here on the shoreline i’m right where you left me’  how am i supposed to live laugh love in this situation!!!!!!!!!! do i even need to say it!!!!!!! 
look back - dora jar: so delicate!!!!!!!! had my attention right from the jump. the imagery is spun with each lyric and metaphor (more ocean metaphors!!!!!) and the overall tone of grief and determination and love. ‘but i think i saw your memory washed up on the sand i let it stick to my skin traced it with my hand’ wtf. it has such strong apocalyptic vibes. not necessarily apocalyptic in the strict sense that the entire world has been destroyed and is suffering but apocalyptic in the sense that one person’s world has been destroyed whether by their own volition or not
bonus songs:
tunnel vision - imani graham: poignant!!!! ‘am i to blame for your bad habits oh i wish i said something but ignored all my needs’ ‘I stumbled through the chaos but found what I believe in tripping on the eggshells that you placed underneath me’ WHEW! 
also formally reminds me of both ‘want want’ and ‘anywhere with you’ by maggie rogers
red wine supernova - chappell roan: this song is weird and i love it. i also love everything chappell roan produces, of course, but i really love how clever she is with lyrics and ‘you said you like magic well i got a wand and a rabbit’ BLEW MY MF MIND also her vocals are insane 
all the stars - mree: the album and and the title got to me okay? i love how groovy and gentle this is

What type of character would you be? - pick a card
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1 2 3
helloooo, guys!! how are you? i want to present you a new PAC about what type of character would you if you were in a book, movie, any story actually. it was made for entertainment purposes, but i think character you get may represent either actual you or those aspects of yourself you suppress or don’t have an ability to express.
now, choose one picture using your intuition and scroll to your reading. remember, this is a general reading, so take what resonates ;)
Tumblr media
Pile 1
cool af main hero. guys, you definitely have this main character vibes to you, even if you were a side character you would steal the spotlight lmao. i see you as a protagonist of the story. strong, brave, confident, smart, outstanding, literally has-it-all type that kicks everyone’s asses and ALWAYS wins. okay, you are so powerful and hot, pile 1☠️. as a protagonist i associate you with Kitniss from Hunger Games, Geralt from Rivia, Merida, Shrek..? okay, i am not so good with giving examples🫠 your character is mostly concerned on building a safe and comfortable reality for themselves, they don’t want to get in troubles, but they definitely won’t avoid them. they can literally solve them in a matter of minutes so what’s the problem🙄 i see your character just sitting there sipping their tea right after beating the main boss lmao. i think all they need is a peaceful life, but according to the laws of the genre they are always the only one that can “save this world”. your character is also super independent, and prefer to work alone, they don’t need nor company nor partner. people never remain indifferent to them, someone loves them, someone hates them, someone envies them, and someone wants to be them. you would also have someone who wants to be a part of your team that follows you everywhere and probably annoy you (think of shrek and donkey☠️). if it a romance story you would be someone who has LOTS of admirers but don’t want none of them. you are so free-spirited and cool, you want to go study science, battle, travel, building a career, so what marriage??but in a teen drama you would definitely be that bad b*tch aka Maddy, i think i don’t even have to explain why. so, that’s you as a character, but what about real life? you can either be all these but in a more lighter form, or this is someone you would like to be, huh? you definitely have this free-spirited nature to you, but you may feel like someone or something is burdening you. and guess what? the only person who burdening you is you, cause you’re limitless, honey. so, if there’s something you want, go for it. if destiny gives a chance for something, take a risk and go for it. I feel that you are extremely lucky people, believe in yourself and your abilities!
Tumblr media
Pile 2
immortal wise magician. you know these type of characters that appears from nowhere tells something to the mc and then go.. umm, where do they go? nobody knows, they just disappears and keep chilling in their castle, forest, apartment or where on earth they live☠️ That’s actually my favourite type, i would like to be one of them personally. Characters that first came to my mind that are similar to yours are Gandalf and Dumbledore. you don’t have to be old man, of course, i think every story have this character who appears at the right moment, gives the protagonist a hint (usually a set of words that has yet to be solved) and continues to observe what is happening from the side. this is usually a strange friend of the protagonist, a school teacher, a witch, a fairy or a simple passer-by (who in the end may turn out to be almost the god of this world). but I'm almost 100% sure that you would live in a fantasy world and be a magician, you know. in general, your character is a kind of hermit who devotes all his time to studying something and seems to know everything in the world, he is bored and needs entertainment, and at such moments they appear in the life of the main characters. oh, i also think your character could very well be the one who tripled the chaos around the world because of boredom lmao. your character likes to test others as well as teach other people things. I think they can be very funny, sarcastic and witty. they are definitely lazy, but when somebody needs they help they are always there (because if not, then the world will most likely turn upside down, and it will no longer be possible to be lazy). that’s your character. as i said before it may be exaggerated version of you or a part of your nature you can’t express. if it is second option i think you may have problems with, ummm, finding listeners? like, you’re definitely very intelligent and unique person who knows A LOT, but you may feel like nobody understands you, maybe your friends don’t share your interests or don’t listen to what you tell them. it could happen in the past and now you don’t share your thoughts and ideas at all. but i sincerely feel that you are so freaking cool and interesting, i would like to be friends with you, group 2. you should definitely express yourself through your throat chakra, you have a natural talent for it, so do not be afraid to speak out, there will always be people who will support you and share your ideas!!
Tumblr media
Pile 3
charismatic villain (or antihero) everybody loves. oooh, you guys would be really dangerous to be around. every story has an antagonist, but not all of them as great as yours. your character is unprincipled, they go over the heads to achieve their goals and successfully achieves them. they are mired in their own crimes, but they feel at home in it like a fish in water. they do not hide their identity and do not try to deceive anyone, they are absolutely sincere in their intentions, and this is how they inspire people, they have many followers and probably there is a so-called henchman next to them. this is one of those villains with a sad backstory. life has disappointed and broken them many times and eventually turned them from a good knights into ones who are ready to go against the whole world and take the side of the so-called "evil". the boundaries of the world have been erased for this character, and what others perceive as atrocities, for them it is likely that what has surrounded them since childhood and killed all human feelings in them. your character strives for power and appreciation. they want the whole world to recognize them and follow them. very often your character acts immature, they are short tempered and impulsive, but also brave, confident and bold, they do not care what others think, they have themselves and that’s enough. they don't trust anyone because their trust has been betrayed way too many times. they have a goal and they go to it. by any means. your character is also extremely charismatic. people are ready to follow them, and in their story, I think they are much more popular than the main character that is.. powerful. honestly, if it describes you i am kind of scared☠️ but if it something that you suppress in yourself, honey, are you okay? do you feel like you are being mistreated by others? you feel underestimated and want to prove everybody they are wrong? have been heartbroken and betrayed? i sense this strong desire to prove that you’re enough, that you deserve it, that you are not what others think of you. you may bottle up your emotions a lot, you don’t speak up for yourself, all these words and emotions that you don’t let out hurt you. please, if you are doing so, stop. you don’t need to prove anything to anyone, you have yourself and this is the main thing, start accepting and taking care of yourself, find this harmony inside, and don’t let negative emotions and thoughts fill you, let them out, learn to deal with this in a healthy way. I believe in you!!
Tumblr media
that’s the reading. i hope you enjoyed it. it turned out kind of weird and chaotic i think, but i really liked making this PAC. i actually consider making part 2, so let me know if you want to see it. have an amazing day/night or whatever! (*^ω^*)

Stephen’s former lovers
Cause I need people to understand real quick that Stephen is a being of love and has loved many many many times before. Also I’m not considering his one-night stands (Vishanti knows there are plenty of them). I’m actually writing about the significant ones as established in canon.
Laura Robson
Tumblr media
Excalibur v3 #14.
We don’t know much about her other than that she’s considered Stephen’s first love.
“Alice”
Tumblr media
Strange Tales v2 #16.
He felt a platonic love toward a girl whose name he didn’t know, so he came up with Alice in order to identify her. It’s said to be one of the most sincere moments of Stephen’s love life. That was during his years in med school.
Martha
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Defenders v4 #4.
Martha is a curious case. She and Stephen dated back in med school, but they didn’t work out. She moved on, had a family and died due to a cancer. Years later, Stephen accidentally brought her back to life with magic. They rekindled their love for a while but she eventually got her memories back and left him for her family.
Madeleine
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Doctor Strange v2 - Master of the Mystic Arts #40; #42.
During his years as resident, Stephen met Madeleine and soon fell in love with her. She refused his proposal because of the man Stephen was becoming. Twenty years later, they met again due a mystic threat and, before saying goodbye, confessed that they still love each other, even though she’s married and Stephen was dating Clea back then, which establishes Stephen as polyamorous.
--
AAAAAAAAAAAAAND that settles it. As you can see, the man has fallen in love SEVERAL TIMES, even during quick flings such as Carol, in which he was REALLY committed to giving his all for her despite being super one-sided (pain).
Friendly reminder that Martha and Madeleine’s second encounters happened after he met Clea, which means he’s truly able to love more than one person at the same time.
So maybe... juuuuust maybe, please consider that it is okay for Stephen to move on and/or still love Christine in the MCU even though he met Clea, which is meant to be the great love of his life. I know there’s this need for things to be canon and such, but they also established that they were not working out due to their differences in subjectivity. What I mean is, it’s perfectly fine for Stephen to still love Christine and move on because he’s capable of doing so. And I’m not talking about this as someone who doesn’t experience the same thing becase I am polyamorous as well - and I know it’s hard to conceive this from a monogamous point of view - but surprise surprise, it happens to people all the time, even when it doesn’t happen to you.
BESIDES, all these relationships made Stephen grow as a person, and still it wasn’t enough for Clea to stay since they both had their own issues to solve. Mostly because that’s... that’s exactly what happens in real life, in case you haven’t noticed.
What I’m trying to saying is, the hatred I’m seeing towards Clea doesn’t make sense for a fan who reads Stephen as someone who is full of love and tried many many many times to be happy. It also comes from a fan who literally doesn’t mind if ships are canon or not. Stephen and Clea “paused” their relationship since the 90′s and that never prevented me from shipping Stephen with her, but also enjoy other ships even knowing they will never be canon (mostly bc, for starters, Marvel will never make him bi/pan, despite the implications that he’s not straight. Let’s be realistic here).
“NGHHH BUT COMICS AND MOVIES” -- the movies are literally inspired by the comic books. Don’t even get me started.
EDIT: just a friendly reminder (and I cannot stress this enough) that Stephen's feelings for Christine are not suddenly invalidated or cancelled. He'll carry those feelings forever and IT IS OKAY. He didn't met Clea and then moved on. He moved on and THEN met Clea. He grew by himself, he learned and moved on, which is super hard for someone like him that depends on other people to live. He's a disaster alone, which means it was something really mature of him.
Can we please stop dragging Clea and Charlize now? Otherwise, I’ll just read these posts as people who are bitter because “MY SHIP >>>>”, which is stupid and childish as hell.
There are many things in Waldron’s writing that I dislike deeply, and I don’t want him involved anymore, also I don’t think he was the one who fought for the real Clea to happen. But when it comes to Stephen’s development in the movie, it’s perfect, it’s literally based on 616!Stephen. You can always disagree but hating on Clea invalidates pretty much every reasonable thing you could add to an argument because it just shows how little you understand his character.
