I am so sorry I promise I’ll stop spamming you about Bishop now (maybe.)

Do you think Bishop could ever be in a healthy relationship? What would the dynamic be like with evil Bishop versus Fast Forward Bishop?

And no I don’t mean Stockshop. 😭

Oh no worries at all I'm enjoying your questions!! Please feel free to spam to your heart's desire. Sorry it took so long to get around to this one, I have admittedly not put much thought into Bishop in romantic scenarios, so I had to think on it a bit!

So, could Bishop ever be in a healthy relationship? Short answer NO. NOT AT ALL LOL

Slightly longer answer, there is some potential depending on how you like to interpret Fast Forward!Bishop. I think it's impossible for Present-day Bishop to be in any sort of healthy romance (and I'll go into way more detail than neccessary about that below 👍) but if you take FF's presentation of the character at face value, there's certainly a possibility.

So long answer, Bishop is one of the single most self-centered, unexamined people to walk the damn earth. There are a lot of factors that go into why he would be just, the absolute worst in a relationship, but the biggest issue is he doesn't give a shit about anybody but himself. If we throw everything else out and consider a hypothetical where he enters a relationship for the relationship's sake, he is not capable or willing to see things from a partner's perspective. In any disagreement he will be unwilling to consider he could be wrong, and will go to great lengths to ensure the other person concedes or backs down. He is a paranoid control freak who would not stand for anything less than being agreed with and obeyed, and he is perfectly willing to break someone down to achieve that. And in a scenario where, indeed, his interest is actually in the other person, we know he has a terrible possessive streak. As long as his interest holds, there is no out for the hypothetical partner. He is going to be emotionally and mentally abusive at best.

Moving more to the particulars of what he'd want a relationship for, it's worth pointing out that Bishop is very single-minded and relentless in his ultimate goal. I find it very difficult to consider a scenario where any single person would be considered worthwhile enough to distract him from that. We've seen him willing to sacrifice personal friends in-canon for the sake of his experiments, (if you ascribe to the theory that J. Finn was mutated on purpose to some degree,) so his work is ALWAYS going to come first. But that's the nicer option, because there is always the possibility that he would consider a relationship if it benefitted his greater goal (OR fed his ego tbh.) In which case, he's only in it for what he can get out of the other person, and the second they've outlived their usefulness to him, well-- I guess it depends on how much sensitive information they know, by that point.

But, okay! Let's consider President Bishop. He's certainly less likely to lure in a partner just to use them and then dispose of them, so he has that going for him. With him, there is a lot of room for how you want to interpret his "change of heart." You could take it at as presented in the show, or read more into his actions based on what we know about his past. Personally, I prefer the latter, but I'll examine both for the sake of thoroughness, and also for funsies.

So let's assume Bishop is being genuine in how he acts, first. In this case, I think there's a decent chance he could learn to be a good partner, though I don't think he'd start out that way and I doubt it'd come naturally to him loL. His job requires a lot of time and attention from him, and he is always going to prioritize it; he is, after all, "a bigger picture kind of guy." Kindness does not come naturally to him, so in times of stress he may default to meaner actions. However, he is also pretty effective in learning and adapting, so with good communication he probably won't make the same mistakes too often. In this scenario I think time constraint really is the biggest obstacle, given his job.

Now, assuming his Good Guy act is just a mask for politics? He's still pretty damn toxic. Bishop's tactics have changed, but his personality remains pretty similar. I'm not sure his pleasant demeanor goes that deep, once you get into more than small talk. It's a necessity for his job, but he still appears to be cold and utilitarian underneath it. He still thinks he's right about everything, and based on the insidious ways he phrases his own backstory to always shift blame away from himself, (even throwing Stockman under the bus, STILL, just to look better in comparison,) he's gotten a LOT better at making it feel like he is always in the right. What you've got is a Bishop who can lie, persuade and charm better, who also still doesn't care about much beyond protecting his territory and using the people around him. This presents us with a partner who, unlike 2000s-era Bishop, is far FAR more subtle with his abuse. And again, heaven forbid he actually genuinely has an interest in his hypothetical partner, because now he has galactic-wide surveillance and public sway on top of the immortality, and they're never getting away.

I hope that answers to satisfaction! Honestly while it's not my cup of tea it is really interesting to examine this facet of his character, so thank you for the question!!

#asks #I don't ship Stockshop anyway but if they were to be together it would be HORRIBLE #Bishop's already abusing the dude and he doesn't even like him #not uh. not that you asked. but #the way my friend Trauma characterizes them is excellent tho chef's kiss shoutout to that guy #I know there's been some new writers on the scene regarding this too that I've been meaning to check out! just haven't gotten around to it #Megaman has suddenly grabbed me by the throat #agent bishop #tmnt 2003 #tmnt 2k3

Honestly i need you to go into heavy detail about how the abdirak the priest of loviatar and crusher and the kissing of boots incidents at the goblin camp influenced astarion's opinion of tav

Any time I answer one like this, I really feel the need to impress that my personal kinks come into play a lot here. After all, they influence my imagination. However, a lot of people aren't into what I am, so our opinions may differ greatly.

Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, let's get started.

With Abdirak, it opens the door. They don't know each other well at this point, though perhaps they've slept together once.

You can imagine that terrible trepidation and anxiety when you're with someone for the first time, perhaps someone you don't know as well as you'd like. Unless one of you is extraordinarily vocal, it's more of a guessing game, easier for some people than others. You might nudge each other in the right direction, but mostly things go unsaid. Astarion probably reverts to what he knows best: gifting pleasure effortlessly.

A kinky Tav probably would not be as forthright with their kinks as they ought to be. It's a daunting prospect saying "Hit me harder" or "Be meaner to me" to someone you're sleeping with for the first bloody time (especially when you're a sub, because then you're technically taking control and just... eugh. It's stupid, but we don't like to have to ask for shit or have control in any capacity-- at least I don't.) It's a daunting prospect even with someone you've been with for years-- trust me.

There are a lot of revelations in that pesky little goblin nest. Degradation is a theme here.

Regarding his faith, pain for Abdirak is very much a divine sexual experience-- one he wishes to share with Tav. It's a very intimate thing; probably more intimate than anything the group has shared or even realizes at the moment.

He whips Tav until they bleed, practically egged on by the group, usually spearheaded by Astarion and Shadowheart, the more dubious of the lot. Astarion is easily the most interested, while Shadowheart seems to find more of a morbid fascination in it.

How you roleplay your character comes into factor here a lot, but if you partake of this willingly and even eagerly, Astarion can come to one conclusion: Tav likes pain. Probably likes being on the receiving end of it. You even get 'Ardent Apostle' if you strip your clothes beforehand-- and I very much did.

Couple this with allowing him to bite you multiple times and a few other little incidents around the campfire, and it's fairly simple to put together two and two to make four.

Now the bootlicking-- that's different.

Why ever in the Hells Tav would do that unless they're into some major degradation is beyond me. It'd be easier to roast that goblin like a chicken than kneel and do that, but yet, they do. You can even 'true soul' your way out of this one, but... they don't.

(Being made to kneel, taking the pain, licking boots, being degraded-- it all fits a very specific sexual theme here, and if you build your character in such a way, it's not a difficult guess to assume what they're into.)

Astarion has been degraded on a professional level for hundreds of years. Maybe it's nice to find someone he can degrade. In the vampire ascendant ending, it straight up tells you that. Maybe there's something arousing to him about someone he can step on. Maybe the thought of forcing Tav to clean his boots with their tongue while subjugating themselves before him gets him off. Maybe it encourages him a bit, knowing he can be quite rough with Tav and apparently, they'll like it. I'm sure he has a lot of pent up aggression. They aren't fragile and breakable and can apparently take a beating-- even happily.

Picking the ascendant ending and staying with him means being degraded like that. Being called a pet, being made to do things you probably wouldn't, being degraded by him. There's probably a lot that goes on behind the scenes (as I've said before, Larian can't go too in depth with kinks without upping a rating and being considered a porn game) but it's all very much implied.

Maybe that's what Tav wants: To be degraded and used. To, for once, give over control to someone more powerful. To be told what to do. To not have to be the strong one that carries everyone through. To feel small and helpless in the shadow of something bigger. It's so fucking tiring to be in charge all the time. To make huge decisions and carry the weight of the world like Atlas. Sometimes, all you want is to give yourself over to someone else entirely.

And maybe Astarion is tired of pretending he's more helpless than he is. Maybe it's his turn to be cruel. Maybe he wants control over his partner, and maybe they'll like it. Maybe grabbing them by the hair and forcing them to do things feels good, especially when they're so eager to obey.

I think it opens a line of thought in Astarion that he hadn't really considered before. For so long, he's just been whatever someone needed at the time. He's never really taken control in a genuine way. He could pretend if that's what they wanted, but it wasn't genuine.

It's something he comes to find he enjoys very much, especially when he ascends. Being condescending, using his power against them, calling them his pet, very much commanding them around and making them bend and kneel or break.

What I'm saying here is it seems like it was an eye-opening experience that followed him all the way through to the point that he could finally act on it. It shines a new, strange light on Tav-- one he finds he likes.

So now that the polls are closed on Round 1A, here's some comments on each match that had me on the floor throughout yesterday and this morning:

Match 1, Vimes vs. Mal

First of all PLEASE read this story of how @thestuffedalligator imagined the fight would go, it's GREAT.

Maladict would win the fight. Vimes would make sure of it.

--@thisblogisboundforglory-blog

Vimes is meaner. Maladict's a sweetie but also a poseur.

--@ellynneversweet

Match 2, Moist vs. Whiteface

See I love Moist he's my boy. But I don't think he'd actually win in a Fight. I think he'd find some way to get out of it rather than actually fighting in it. Meanwhile that clown is absolutely out to kill.

--@omicheese

Ok this one's decently close. But Mr. Slightly Damp could run circles around him. Clown on clown violence. But frankly Mr. Mildly Wet is the Stronger Clown. Not physically but in Clown Logic. Listen it's borderline toon logic. The winner the one for whom it would be Objectively Funnier for them to win.

--@nonbinaryspacegoo

Moist does some of his best work when he's trying to avoid something. IE participating in this fight. he's also self aware of the whole can't con a con-artist/can't cheat a cheater way of the world, and knows how to work that to his advantage. I have limited knowledge of the doc but even if he's capable of the same thought process, I think Moist would be more successful just because he'd put on a better show of being a sad pathetic wet meow meow boy. In order to make an opportunity to pull a trick. On account of being a poor wet little meow meow boy.

--@violetren

Match 3, Cohen vs. Reg

Reg I am so sorry. But you are dead and he doesn't want to be.

--@coredesignixandnekonee

This one is contrary to what most people would think, I think, but like, Reg Shoe was so determined in his goals in life that he came back as a zombie. So. I think if he were determined enough to beat Cohen, even though Cohen is nigh unbeatable, he would do it. Even if that's just simply by outliving Cohen or something ridiculous, as long as he has the conviction, he'd do it.

--@theeldritchbat

Trick question. Neither would win, they'll keep a back and forth of avoiding death for ever. Creating the first ever perpetual motion machine.

--@fefeman

Match 4, Mrs. Gogol vs. Rob Anybody

THIS ONE IS TOUGH. Because I think Rob would be very conflicted about fighting any hag, they'll curse you so hard you know. In the end I did vote Rob though, either because he'd avoid any curses by stepping in and out of reality, or just by annoying the shit out of Gogol enough to where she's like "Yknow what?? FINE. YOU WIN. LEAVE."

--@purpledemoncat

ppl saying Rob would win smh. listen love the guy. maybe in a straight fistfight with no other factors at play but like. They're freaked by witches my guy. She could use even her easiest headology and he's OUT.

--@nonbinaryspacegoo

Match 5, Detritus vs. the Dean

I mean...yes, the Dean is a wizard, he's got magic...but he's *the Dean*. Historically, not known for making good choices. I think Detritus could handle him.

--@theeldritchbat

Detritus may have his weaponry much closer to hand (and much more weaponizable hands), but the Dean fought his way to the upper echelons of UU and gets *distressingly* into mock-fighting (see: the Paintball Incident). I know that this fight is supposed to start friendly, but the Dean is going to escalate faster than Detritus, who is well aware that everyone who isn't him tends to squish.

--@the-damn-things-overlap

The Dean would take a bit picking the right spell and preparing it. So my first instinct is Detritus. But then again the Dean only got where he is and stayed there by being good at not getting got and being able to get others. However on second thought he is used to working against other flimsy old white men. So yeah no still Detritus.

--@violetren

Match 6, Granny vs. Susan

Their fight would consist of a staring contest and you can't change my mind. Susan would last a good long time but blink eventually because she has young, plump eyeballs. Granny will not blink, because she has fallen asleep with them open. Granny don't give a fuck.

--@purpledemoncat

Look Granny Weatherwax would probably win in like 98% of situations. But this particular situation feels like it'd be similar to taking her to the theatre and she'd just be vaguely annoyed and unsure what was going on. And Susan would find the whole situation inconvenient and stupid but would understand the assignment. So she'd just steamroll through just so it would be over. And if she did it quickly enough I think she'd get a technical win over Granny. However she would then have an unhappy and clued in Granny on her hands at the end of it. So like then she'd be in trouble. Anyways I voted Susan because sometimes it's fun to go for the perceived underdog. Honestly believe that who would win would be purely situational because they are both stone cold badasses.

--@violetren

Match 7, Nutt vs. Harry King

I didn't know where to go with this one. I feel like Harry King Makes Shit Happen (no joke intended) and Nutt needs a solid reason to make shit happen. Nutt might accidentally win, but Harry King would win on purpose.

--@theeldritchbat

Ok in a real fight Nutt would win. But in a play fight he'd be too nice to not lose you see.

--@handern

Match 8, Magrat vs. the Librarian

Both are capable of speakable violence (casual willingness to use Goodie Whemper(maysherestinpeace)'s Turn Your Bones Into Hot Lead spell vs get twisted apart) but I have a hard time imagining the Librarian convincing his opponent that he has agreed to nonviolence. The Librarian probably proposes some sort of game since he understands he isn't meant to do any twisting. But then you are in a Chess with Chewbacca scenario. You had better be too foolish to see why winning would be bad or have nerves of steel and ice in your veins. I say foolish but really I mean foolish and talented or foolish and lucky. You do still have to win after all. But the Librarian won't twist you apart if you beat him. The only trouble is convincing yourself of that. I don't think Magrat is built right for this challenge.

--@theensorceler-blog

I'm in two minds about this one. Either the Librarian would win outright bcause Magrat can't get mad enough to use her strengths, or he would win by simply not being present for the fight (per the rules, running away successfully constitutes a win, and I don't think Magrat can outrun an orangutan). Someone would say, "hey, you gotta fight this witch -indicates Magrat-, my...ape", and he'd say, "ook," and then shuffle off to eat bananas and read under his desk because who the fuck has time to fight witches when there are bananas and books, right?

--@theeldritchbat

And that's how this has to go. The Librarian has to win because it's funnier if Magrat gets her ass kicked by an orangutan. Like I love her but it would be so funny.

--@omicheese

Keep it up everybody, this is super fun so far! =D

Steven helping when you're stressed over a bad friend

Steven Grant x gn!reader

Summary: You are having issues with some friends during finals week and need Steven's assurance.

A/N I literally am having issues with some internet friends right now. Unlike many of my scenarios in my life I turn into fics, I didn't have to deal with this alone. After our last final (yay!!!) me and my friend met up and she talked me to. A lot of Steven's lines are what she said to me, in a more Steven way. I won't go into details, just a few things I think a lot of people can relate too. Anyway, here you go. Not event agging anyone bc this is literally just for me to vent out my feelings.

Warnings: toxic friendships, manipulation (not sure if that's clear here but just incase), brief mentions of anger issues and I wouldn't call it relationship problems, but normal couple stuff the system had to work through together. References to a friend who says concerning stuff, you can take this to mean threats of harming one self, comments about excessive drinking or drug use, or any other harmful behavior. Point is, said person is known to say and do things, and uses it to manipulate reader.

*********

"Love, are you alright?" Steven watched you watching Community from the other side of the couch, instead of your usual spot next to him.

You scoff, a little meaner than you mean. "No, Steven, I'm not" You said, voice dripping with sarcasm.

Steven simply waits, trusting you'll realize you were being rude. And you did. You sigh, turning to him. "I'm sorry, sweetheart. That was unnecessary. There was no need for me to be sarcastic." Steven and Jake had been working with you and Marc about regulating your high emotions. They allowed you grace when you went too far, as long as you recognize when you were being mean. As you requested, they didn’t let you or Marc get away with being rude, and the two of you tried to ask for space when you needed time to calm down and the others were coming on too strong.What had started as mediation between you and Marc, who both were prone to anger outbursts, had turned into general work that you and Marc, Jake and Steven had to put into for the sake of everyone's relationships. It was working out well, and the four of you were finding the way to manage things together, as a team.

"Can you tell me what you are feeling right now?" Steven asked, ever patient.

Of course, you knew the next part, naming your emotions. "I'm feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and maybe a little unseen."

His brow furrowed at that. "Unseen by who? Us? I mean, me?"Steven’s work involved not trying to speak for the others, unless asked to.

You shake your head, smiling a bit. There had been a time where maybe you had felt like Steven didn't see you, didn't get you, that only Marc in his anger and Jake in his chaos were the only ones who ever got how you felt, but as you worked through the bumps with Steven, you came to realize that he didn't have to know exactly what you were feeling or had been through to see you. "No baby, with my friends. Between finals and the recent... I don't know if I can even call it drama, I just feel like a lot is going on right now." You last final was tomorrow, and Jake had convinced you to put the books down and take a mental break. The best cook in the house, he made you diner, you ate with Marc, and now were winding down with Steven, hoping a good night's sleep would benefit you more than staying up all night studying.

Steven nodded. "You hadn't mentioned anything was going on with your friends, love, can you tell me what's going on"

"Yeah" You pause a bit. "Can I lay on your lap, Steven? I'm tired"

Steven's warm smile reached his brown eyes "Of course, sweetheart" He reached out for you and you lay down on his perfectly thick thigh as he plays with your head.

"It's Jenna. She's saying that stuff again. A lot of us have reached out to her, but she won't really reply. She'll make these concerning posts for days and not talk to us." You had your phone to Steven to read the things she's said. You've known Jenna for years, but recently as a friend she hasn't been the best, but whenever you try to distance yourself from her, she'll start making these threats, concerning you, drawing you back in.

Steven handed you your phone bad, looking upset. "That's a lot, I see why you're worried. And no one can get a hold of her?"

You shake your head. "But she'll post other stuff on snap chat where she's fine. I don't know what to do anymore. She does this so much and I'm exhausted. She won't accept my help, and I know, I knooooow it's not that easy but I don't know what else to"

Steven leaned over and kissed your head "I know you want to help, you always do, but she's an adult, she has to make her own choices."

"I know, I just feel responsible. She keeps calling me her best fiend so everyone keeps looking to me for answers with her but I just don't know. I don't want to be friends anymore but everyone sees her as this precious, perfect person and can do no wrong, but she's mean, Steven. And I know I can be mean but-"

Steven gently shushed you. "You don't try to be mean, you always apologize, and you always try to do better. I remember her making fun of your phone background, even after you tried to change the subject"

You had interests that some people considered niche, like a damn near obsession with James Dean, who you changed to your phone background to. When Jenna had seen it, she relentlessly teased you for days every time your screen lit up, until you changed it back to you and Jake.

"Yeah... and she said I have a giant forhead. Which is technically true, but she didn't have to say it." you agreed, exhausted from this week.

Steven continued playing with your hair. "I know it's hard, because I know you want so badly for everyone to like you, but it's just not realistic. She might just need to get mad and stop talking to you"

"What if she turns my other friends against me?"

"Well, then maybe they weren't that good of friends in the first place"

"Steven-"

He raised his hands in mock defeat. "I know! I know, I know it's easier said than done, but just do what you can to separate yourself, and me and the boys will be here to help you in whatever way we can, alright love?"

You nod against the skin of his leg, feeling the hair tickle your face. "Okay, I'll try, thank you Steven" You kissed his kneecap.

Steven pulled a blanket over you, and you feel sleep pulling you in as the Community paintball episode opened "And for what it's worth, love, we think it's very hard not to like you."

"even when I'm being a bitch?" You mumble, already half alseep from exhaustion.

"Even when you're having a bad day" Steven clarifies, never wanting to feed into your negetive self-talk.

"I love you Steven"

"I love you too, darling. Go to sleep, I already set an alarm, I'll take you to bed in a bit"

Whatever you said next was incomprehensible as you fell into the first goodnights sleep you'd had since thanksgiving break.

***********

anyway, there we go. As you can see, I've had a bit of a time with a friend, needed to get this out.

on the brightside I finished my last final today, so now I can go stress about this friend who refuses to answer my texts or messages.

Keep Calm and Get Bitten

Ethan gets a vision when he lets Sarah drink his blood, and it changes everything…

Chapter 4

Word Count: 1197

Chapter 1: ♡

Chapter 2: ♡

Chapter 3: ♡

You can also read it on ao3 here: ♡

"I am so stoked to pick up my pre-order of the new Halo game." Ethan gushed, "You've got to come over and play it, I'm 99.9% sure I'm going to be spending the whole break on it."

"Sure beats playing nothing but COD for a whole week by myself..." Benny sighed, "Forever Alone."

"I'd come over if you didn't play games full of tryhard douchebags."

"COD players are not that bad."

"Easy for you to say." Ethan rolled his eyes, "You're not the one getting called slurs."

"Just turn off your mic!"

"And let you be the only one who can talk? Yeah, right." Ethan scoffed.

They noticed Erica nearby, digging thoroughly through Sarah's locker.

"You know that Sarah would definitely notice if you took anything from there?" Ethan smirked as he watched Erica shovel out handfuls of Sarah's cutesy school supplies.

Erica rolled her eyes, "Like I'd have any use for her stupid animal erasers. I'm just getting stuff for her while she's doing her makeup tests. She's gonna have to do a lot of homework during break."

"Oh, damn. That sounds rough. Y'know, maybe I could help her out over break."

Erica paused to side-eye Ethan.

"Yeah, no. She visits her auntie every fall break."

"Oh... I've never heard her mention that."

Erica scoffed as she tossed mini highlighters with animal faces into Sarah's bag, "What are you, her boyfriend or something? She doesn't have to 'mention' anything to you."

Harsh, Ethan thought to himself, frowning. The hostile tension made Ethan avert his eyes away from Erica, to look at Benny, who looked back at him with fear in his eyes and a sympathetically pained expression on his face.

"Erica, what gives? What are you being so mean to me for?" asked Ethan.

"News flash, losers! I'm always mean."

"Well, you're meaner than usual, which is saying a lot."

"At least I don't lie to my friends about having 'good visions'. How gullible do you think she is?"

Ethan's eyes widened, "She told you about last night?"

"Duh! I'm her best friend."

"Well I wasn't lying, okay?" Ethan argued, his face flushing pink at the reminder of the day before, "I just don't know what it means."

Erica tightened her grip on the twenty or so glitter gel pens she was now holding in her hand. She squinted her eyes to glare at Ethan as if she were shooting a thousand daggers at him. A thousand glittery, colorful daggers.

"You better figure it out," Erica sneered, "Because the last thing Sarah needs right now is some false promise of something good from someone who doesn't know what the hell they're talking about."

"...What? I'd never do anything to hurt her like that."

"Yeah, well, some people already have."

Ethan's eyes widened at the audacity.

"Oh yeah? Like when you ditched her for her shitty ex-boyfriend?" he scoffed, "Because that's totally what best friends do."

Erica lunged forward at Ethan, eyes glowing and fangs protruding as she let out a violent hiss.

"Shut the fuck up." she threatened.

While it did make him pee himself a little bit, Ethan stood his ground. She could beat him in a fight, easily. But people were already listening in to their argument, phones ready to record the second it escalates. He knew Erica wouldn't be stupid enough to attack him out in the open. And he was right. Erica furiously chucked the last of Sarah's things into her bag.

"Nice to know Sarah hangs out with people like you" she hissed, slamming the locker hard enough to make Ethan and Benny jump at the noise, and loud enough to make some of the people in the hallway turn their heads to look at her as she stomped away in her studded, off-brand Doc Marten boots.

"Was just about to say the same thing." Ethan muttered.

Erica heard him from where she was, raising her hand to give Ethan and Benny the finger without looking back.

...

Erica tossed Sarah's hefty bag into a an empty student's chair, landing on the seat with a thundering boom. Sarah was doing some makeup work for AP History with one earbud in, and Erica could hear faintest sound of Neon Trees' Animal from where she stood.

"Those dorks you hang out with are so fucking nosy. How can you stand hanging out with people like that?"

"Hey, hey. Language." said the teacher.

"No, this is History!" Sarah joked.

Erica rolled her eyes.

"Un. Be. Lieveable. Those geeks are turning you into a person who makes puns. About school."

"Well one of those geeks got Habits, Picture Show, and the entire soundtrack of Pitch Perfect on my iPod without having to pay a single cent." Sarah told Erica with a smug smile on her face, "That's pretty cool if you ask me."

"Are you focusing on your work?" the teacher asked nonchalantly, without looking up from the papers she was grading, Twenty minutes left."

"Eek!" Sarah squeaked. The lead in her Domo-kun keychained mechanical pencil snapped off as she tried to write faster. Erica rolled her eyes and sighed as she sat down in the other empty seat next to Sarah.

"Can I just sit here and hang out while she does her thing?" Erica asked the teacher.

"Nuh-uh. It's already pushing it for me to let her listen to music while she does classwork. She doesn't need any more distractions."

"Well, for the record," Sarah interjected, "Music helps me focus."

"Right. Anyways," the teacher continued, "It was very nice of you to bring her stuff here, but I need Sarah to focus on her work right now. You can talk to her later. Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah, it's whatever. I have a lot of important stuff I need to do, anyway." Erica scoffed, getting up from her seat. She grabbed her Dusk-themed backpack from Hot Topic and swung it over her shoulder, trying to look completely unbothered.

Yeah, important stuff. Like using the school computers to argue with someone on the Dusk Til Dawn fanforums, Sarah thought to herself.

Erica left the classroom and strut down the school hallway with an air of confidence she gained since becoming a vampire. She wasn't some dorky, Dusk-obsessed loser anymore. No, she told herself, she's cool now. She doesn't need to wait hand and foot for her friend like some kind of sidekick when she has tons of way cooler, way more exciting things in her life to do.

She spotted Ethan and Benny down the hall, and when they noticed her, she gave them a deadly, yellow-eyed glare and a hiss. It was able to intimidate Benny, but Ethan seemed to react in a way that was more annoyed than scared. He was underestimating her power, she figured. Big mistake.

If only she had a Death Note. She'd totally put Ethan's name first.

i agree with you completely about berens, but can you expand on any specifics about how he fails to grasp dean?

Gladly.

Generally, Berens writes Dean as meaner, angrier, and/or more resentful than a lot of writers. His characterization of Dean calls to mind this post, where Dean’s feelings and actions aren’t totally out of bounds or ooc yet are just different enough to feel off to me. One example would be 12x19, where Dean is dismissive and rude when Cas finally returns, berating him for not responding to his and Sam’s phone calls before stomping off, continues to be a bit standoffish when Cas tries to talk with him, and then after Cas steals the Colt and leaves, says they should “kick his feathered ass” and then literally does get physical with Cas when they find him, slamming him up against the hotel room wall. Dean can be angry and lash out like he does here, but in this ep it feels excessive and off-putting. If Dean was rude to Cas at the beginning but then cooled down, or he was nicer at the beginning and then lashed out at Cas in the hotel room, those situations might work for me; it’s that Dean’s low-level pissed for most of the ep and this being his entire emotional range that feels frustrating. I do think Jensen softens Dean with his acting in this ep, and Berens’s tries to soften Dean in the writing by presenting his anger as an expression of him being worried, but Dean comes across like an angry jerk more than anything else.

Another moment of Dean being very angry and resentful would be the final scene in 13x03, when he and Sam talk about Jack. I’m not super Destiel inclined, but I can see why people would want to read Dean as in love with Cas here. If Dean is in love with Cas, his intense anger and resentment is still a lot, but it’s easier to take if it stems from Dean seeing the man he loves die in front of him. If Dean isn’t in love with Cas, then Dean becomes a super angry and resentful guy who unfairly blames Jack for Mary and Cas’s deaths, and isn’t able to rightly blame the guy responsible, Lucifer. Dean being angry and even resentful isn’t out of bounds character-wise, and he is grieving Mary and Cas (in whatever way one reads it), but again the writing feels… excessive, oversized, to me. Maybe that there’s nothing on Sam’s end to counter-balance it? Dean is the angry/resentful one and Sam is the forgiving/accepting one, in a way that seems to simplify the emotional range for both of these characters. (There's also how this conversation somewhat reframes season 4/5, which I think contributes to why Sam & Dean are being characterized as they are, but I'm still mulling this over.)

I also really struggle with how Berens frames (and seems to understand) Dean’s childhood and his emotional issues stemming from it. 12x14 comes to mind, in how he writes the Mary – Dean emotional conflict. There’s this exchange at the beginning of the ep:

MARY: I'm doing this for you. I'm playing three decades of catch up here. DEAN: And we're not? How do you think this has been for us? We're your sons, and you've been gone. Our whole lives, you've been gone. You said that you needed time. No, you said you need space. So we gave you your space. But you didn't need just space. No, you needed space from us. MARY: That's not true. Dean, I'm trying – DEAN: How 'bout for once, you just try to be a mom? MARY: I am your mother, but I am not "just a mom." And you are not a child. DEAN: I never was. So between us and them – MARY: It's not like that. DEAN: Yeah, Mary, it is. And you made your choice. So there's the door.

And then this one at the end of the ep:

DEAN: [to MARY] When I thought something might've happened to you, nothing else mattered. MARY: Dean, the things I said – DEAN: No, Mom, you were... It's not your job to make my lunch and kiss me good night. It's – We're adults. You're gonna make your own choices, even if I don't like 'em. Even if I really, really don't like 'em. That's just something I'm gonna have to get used to. Okay, Mom? MARY: [ Whispers ] Yeah.

I’d heard through the fandom grapevine that Berens didn’t write Dean saying “[he] was never a child” and this was Jensen’s adlib, which seems to be true (it's not in the Production Draft). Surprisingly, I’m going to say something nice about season 7 here, and it’s that Glass got it in 7x04, when he writes Dean saying: “You and Sam. I just – you know, hunters are never kids. I never was. I didn't even stop to think about it.” Dean not being a kid (while being a kid!!) is the keystone to understanding his childhood, and the tragedy of Dean being forced to take on adult responsibilities and emotionally support John when he was too young. To have a character with that backstory tell his actual mom, in what’s framed as him opening up in a mature way, that it’s not her job to be his mom anymore is… a kind of stomach churning writing choice, imo, even if I do believe Mary’s obligations to Sam and Dean post-resurrection are a complicated question. All of this leads me to think Berens does not fully grasp Dean’s parentification and what it means for him as a character, which is a major reason why his emotional arcs for Dean don't work for me.

OC - Lark Penn

sometimes you impulsively make an oc at 2 am and then you keep turning them around in your head for the next few hours unable to sleep because theyre so skrunkly and suddenly its 6 am and you NEED to draw them. anyway this is my baby lark i love them very much

pokemon oc if it wasnt obvious already dkfjlasdkjflasd but aaahhhhh theyre so baby aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

lark penn, they/them, 16 years old, from eterna city in sinnoh, so very tired. aspiring artist with a special love for sculpture. their parents are kinda busy 24/7 so they just kinda raised themselves (and they had really nice elderly neighbors who taught them how to cook and also how to do a mean right hook if anyone ever tried to hurt them).

more info under the cut if youre interested!

they wear loose, long sleeved clothing with less saturated colors, and almost always wear a scarf. when they were younger they believed the flowy ends could be wings. theyre emotionally and socially awkward (like me :D) and cant handle people being around them very well. they always put in earbuds with music when they go grocery shopping (also me afdbfasffhhfcgfbn)

they really really like flying types. they met ven the zubat in a cave somewhere while they were stumbling along looking for cool rocks. they didnt have any pokemon at that point so ven kind of maybe poisoned them a bit (there are a lot of humans that come through the ravaged path and a good percentage of them dont do anything good. flash bright lights, break parts of the walls, litter, etc etc) and lark was like. oh. that sure happened. and theyre like "hey mx. zubat? uh. do you know the way out? i get that you poisoned me out of a sense of self defense so ill see myself out but im kinda lost also i probably need medical help" and ven is like. bestie you fr right now and shows them out of the cave where they promptly collapse and ven kinda likes this human at this point so they go get help. long story short, woah its lark's first pokemon! theyre besties!

umbra the corviknight was brought to sinnoh as a rookidee by a rich galarian trainer on vacation. sinnoh is very much colder than galar (in my hc at least) and the baby bird's wings could not handle it. consequently her battling was severely hindered, so the entitled rich trainer shoved her off to someone else (who happened to be lark. they were just at the right pokemon center at the right time) and they were having none of it. then they realized umbra would be in a much better home if they accepted her. ven proceeded to leave the rich trainer with poison and a nasty bite on the ankle. umbra has been added to the party! she adapts to the colder climate gradually and with much care from lark

lark isnt a battler but ven definitely is. ven is a fast and bitey little menace who prefers staying unevolved because they love it when people underestimate a tiny zubat and then get obliterated. also they really like being small and sleeping in lark's scarf (and they are kinda scared to become a golbat. they saw a big one being a bully back in the cave and theyre scared evolution will make them meaner. it wont and they know it, but lark doesnt mind ven napping in their scarf for as long as they want to). umbra...umbra likes battling sometimes, but she doesnt like it when its too intense. reminds her of her old trainer. not good. she doesnt mind evolving- her evolution into corvisquire was out of something like fear that she wasnt good enough as a rookidee. lark figured that out, hugged her, and told her that no matter how strong she was theyd always love her. she evolved into corviknight with more love in her heart, and she loves being big enough to fly lark around and to curl around them as they sleep.

haha yup i am so normal about pokemon

#pokemon #oc art #my oc #ok but i actually love them so much #and they werent even conceived until last night #oc rant #corviknight #zubat #ink's doodles

tw grooming

I need advice & reassurance i guess

I knew someone who was a minor,, Im a bit older and an adult and we had been mutuals. I know not everyone agrees with that but i didn’t feel too personal with them & i feel like it’s normal if you aren’t weird. I’m in a relationship & I thought it was clear i’d only love my partner especially someone an appropriate age for me. I didn’t fight with the kid, I wasn’t inappropriate, I never wanted anything from them & never asked, never wanted to meet. I thought if anything we could talk about like the shows we both liked and i could give them advice if they needed it. It seemed very normal to me & i didn’t have bad intentions so i guess that’s why. Nothing happened but they suddenly started saying i groomed them. Apparently people who were harassing me before were trying to manipulate people into saying that to hurt me, affect my relationship, idk. Apparently the kid was jealous of my relationship & I wish i knew that, I feel like i should’ve but there were no signs, because if I knew there was anything inappropriate i wouldn’t think it’s fine to interact. I’m really disgusted & im not sure what to do cus its led to me & even my gf being stalked & harassed & I worry about our safety, our family etc. if this continues or worsens. I take this issue really seriously which is why I know it’s basically impossible for me to do or speak anything seeing as it’s a minor accusing an adult of that so of course they should be believed when people don’t know the truth. It’s led to me to wonder if I somehow had this person thinking i wanted anything from thm? But I know i never asked or implied anything of the sort. We tried to address it when it happened & got attacked. I don’t feel comfortable speaking to people younger than me now because i don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea but i feel kind of like a piece of meat due to past objectification and being treated this way even by other adults who swear im “asking for it” & i was clearly giving them signs. It makes me feel violated. But I feel stuck because I don’t feel like I can speak about it when people already decide i’m guilty. And I want to be sensitive to other victims since I know how that feels. But I feel like no matter what i say its held against me because even to say that this person is lying, that’s what everyone expects me to say, and therefore is considered proof against me that doesn’t even exist in the first place, which again i hate to say but this kid was also apparently screenshotting even the most normal messages from group chats so i thought people would think if anything happened she’d have it. I know maybe that’s terrible to think, and that’s how I end up in these ruts because I know who I am and what i did and d didn’t do, but having many people push doubt on you is hard + I can’t come up with any defense or reasoning without thinking “that’s what they expect you to say” or “you know this is how predators act, you sound just like him.” I know most people don’t think harmless interactions between minors and adults are weird but I think how stupid it was to think it would be meaner to ignore this person. Maybe it’s my fault for trying to be nice. That if i could have foreseen this somehow i wouldn’t have but i shouldnt have talked to this person at all. I could just never imagine it would become this because I don’t even think of hurting people. Maybe i’m naive. But i have to think about my family too. This person wants us dead and has said so. We document things but I’m not sure if legal action is possible or a good idea down the road if necessary, but i’m not sure what else to do? I just feel so stuck. My wife doesn’t deserve to be harassed forever. -🤖🦾⚽️

Hi 🤖🦾⚽️,

I think it is possible for adults to have healthy friendships with minors, especially considering how I was a camp counselor for kindergarten through 8th grade and had a range of 2nd graders to 5th graders during my 4 years there. I always treated the kids like I would a friend and make sure it felt evenly balanced and not "I'm the adult and you're the child". They'd braid my hair and I'd help them make crafts, and at the end of the summer the kids would say how much they loved me as a counselor because I was their friend as much as I was their camp counselor.

I don't know exactly what happened but based on what you've shared it sounds like what happened was not grooming. Grooming is an intentional manipulation tactic to gain a child's trust for sexual purposes. You cannot groom someone on accident. From what I'm hearing, there was no sexual or malicious intent and others were misinterpreting your friendship as predatory simply by this person's accusation alone.

It's frustrating when people don't bother to listen to all sides of the story. While I'm someone that always believes survivors, it's not like false claims are impossible, and unfortunately it sometimes does happen. It's hard to approach survivors' claims in a way that both respects their truth and explores other possibilities, but I think it can be useful to listen to other sides as well when coming to a conclusion. I think this is just a fundamental aspect of critical thinking - it can be good to take other sides into account when forming your own perspective or opinion, without disrespecting any side in the process.

Grooming is quite a serious thing to accuse someone of, and while their vitriol towards groomers is merited, as part of practicing critical thinking skills, it's important to carefully evaluate all possibilites and all information provided before deciding on whether a claim is accurate, especially in a situation like this when it's false.

Perhaps this person took advantage of the sensitivity around fakeclaiming survivors. But it's hard because, at the same time, we shouldn't necessarily dictate who's a survivor and who isn't. This person could’ve used this, knowing the touchiness of saying “Hey, this accusation is false.” especially reflecting on the times when actual abusers will accuse their victim of lying or will fabricate evidence.

This is difficult though, because as I'm trying to think of the situation from the perspective of the people targeting you, I can't help but be reminded of the fact that, as a survivor myself, I have internalized this idea of needing evidence to the point that I have a 300+ page google doc full of detail, citations, interviews, screenshots, transcriptions, all to prove myself and my truth, when my therapist has been trying to teach me that none of it is necessary and that I should be believed anyways. But it's hard because clearly there are situations like this where evidence is crucial, and people who make false claims only further burden real survivors like us with needing to prove we're not lying. So it's a very complex situation.

Regardless, it may end up being necessary to keep track of things such as gathering documents god forbid legal action becomes necessary. But please know that harassment is illegal, depending on where you are, and you don't deserve to feel in danger or actually have your reputation ruined over things you simply did not do.

I hope I could help. Please let us know if you need anything.

🦢 anon is back with the song analysis again

ok but teen fl + teen idle by marina is soo real

“I wanna be a bottle blonde I don't know why but I feel conned”- her feeling like liam is more privileged than her and feeling slightly jealous of him because she saw him as a white b who got everything handed to him

“I wanna be an idle teen I wish I hadn't been so clean”- revenge revenge revenge

“I wanna stay inside all day I want the world to go away”- her being an introvert as a teen and only ever studying and maybe occasionally socialising

“I want blood, guts, and chocolate cake I wanna be a real fake”- her putting on a facade

“Yeah, I wish I'd been, I wish I'd been, a teen, teen idle Wish I'd been a prom queen, fighting for the title Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible Feeling super, super, super suicidal”- the third line here is kinda like her being 16 and committing crimes ig?? Also fl low-key wants to unalive herself but knowing her she probably won’t try because of all her responsibilities

“The wasted years, the wasted youth The pretty lies, the ugly truth”- I know we didn’t get an exact thing abt fls relationship with Theo the pedo but I’d say it’s implied they probably did the deed. Like how when they were dancing in the Ashfordshire arc, liam said something abt fl having multiple partners in other aspects, also in the past chapter u mentioned that fl would visit Theo at night. I think she’d lie to herself and act as if she was just seducing him but really she was probably getting abused by him

“And the day has come where I have died Only to find, I've come alive”- fl having her grand duchess glow up post timeskip 👏 👏

“I wanna be a virgin pure A twenty-first century whore I want back my virginity So I can feel infinity”- fls issues with intimacy with Liam because of Theo. She probably never enjoyed the devils tango until liam came around because she was so used to using it for her ulterior motives 😕😕 also she always is getting fetishised and flirted with by the other noblemen to the point she felt she had to marry a guy she considered her biggest rival just to shake them off only for them to keep going and not understand how uncomfy she was

“I wanna drink until I ache I wanna make a big mistake I want blood, guts, and angel cake I'm gonna puke it anyway”- in the Noahtic arc, fl got drunk a bit and was probably using it as escapism for her issue of an heir. Also fls implied Ed ^^

“I wish I wasn't such a narcissist I wish I didn't really kiss The mirror when I'm on my own Oh God, I'm gonna die alone” - fl has slight self esteem issues imo so this lyric makes sense especially because she seemed to be a little meaner as a teen and rightfully so bc her brother literally died because of the British ofc she won’t like any of them. In like the second chapter fl made a comment abt dying alone and I thought that fits

“Adolescence didn't make sense A little loss of innocence The ugliness of being a fool Ain't youth meant to be beautiful?”- fl was suffering since she was like 9 and I don’t think anyone reached out to her tbh if she was really killing whole families at 16. She was probably hella merciless and numb poor girl. She also probably lost her innocence because of Theo and other weird noble guys

also she fits seventeen by marina too. If she was an mtp character she’d probably get angst edits to that one bit “I was brought up as a baby well you don’t know fuck about my family could never tell you what happened the day I turned seventeen the rise of the king and the fall of a queen”

fl is just sooo Marina coded idc

ALSO I AM BEGGING YOU TO GET SOME REST GIRLIE. u usually update like every day. We don’t need u losing sleep over false lovers I promise. Get ur beauty sleep 🙏

Stop this is literally a whole essay 😭 u are right abt most of it tho

Theo is literally such an asshole I’m glad fl killed him and tortured him

Bro was 20 and courting a 16 year old but wasn’t even following proper etiquette rules

Fl finds it so difficult to be affectionate with Liam all because of that stupid mf.

Grand duchess fl 🛐

Fls parents tried to reach out to help her with her grief when she was a kid but they were both suffering themselves and they were trying to find out who was responsible for fls brothers death while also suffering responsibilities as the grand duke and duchess. They tried but fl shut everyone out because she only wanted revenge

Fl also has really terrible self esteem issues but she doesn’t let it show at all. From her perspective William was just an asshole and she felt like it was unfair everyone treated him better than her. Paris and rory esque relationship tbh

Tbh fl would get edited with like every Marina song she’s just that Marina coded

Also I’m currently on holiday so I’m trying my best to get some rest after my exams. I’ll try to be constant with updates but tbh I don’t think I’ll update until I’m back home because my internet keeps getting fucked up lol

THE THROBBING MEMBERS REVIEW: The Windflower by Laura London

Where was the romance in this romance novel? It was just plot. -Catherine

I just wanna know which one of the authors got Cat in the divorce. -Smurf

No criticisms... only pirates. -Sarah

I wish someone had walked the plank but I was along for the ride. -Margo

Dream Cast

Merry

Devon

Theme Song: Horny Angry Tango by Rachel Bloom & Scott Michael Foster

Summary: In the middle of the War of 1812, Merry is kidnapped by Pirates, who all become obsessed with her. Especially the hottest pirate of them all... Devon.

Review: Laura London may claim to be a romance novelist, but clearly, she is more interested in describing the landscape than developing the alleged romance (or sexual tension) between Merry and Devon(?). I was nearly 300 pages in before I could figure out which character was supposed to the love interest. Like I KNEW, they were supposed to be the main characters and therefore they had to be in ~love~ or lust or whatever, but dear god, they did not show it. Even now that I have determined that Devon is the love interest, I am convinced that she made a mistake and actually means for it be Cat.

Merry, despite her name, is clearly determined to be miserable. As of pg. 370, and theres not been any sex yet. What the fuck. “Foolishly, [I] felt a hollow aching need for[…]” this book to be fucking over.

This terrible married couple who later got divorced were mixing their tropes, and it was obvious which person wrote each section. There would be things like Devon’s grandmother bringing Merry to London to marry her Grandson, which is ironic and funny, and then some deeply underwhelming sex scenes with deeply weird word choices. Ultimately, I was let down my promise of it being a deeply problematic bodice ripper about pirates and very disappointed. Maybe thats on me though, I let my expectations get ahead of me.

Perhaps like this review, the book just went on too long. It seemed like there was an arbitrary word count they needed to make and so they had to keep coming up with new complicated subplots, most of which are either inconsequential or boring. For reasons that escape me, there was a very dragged out subplot about Merry nearly dying from Malaria after she tried to escape in what has to be one of the worst escape attempts of all time (next to every other single one of her other attempts) was truly deeply unneeded and it made the book much longer than it needed to, and therefore much worse.

Most of the description was so unneeded. It must have added at least 200 pages of things that no one cared about. But the description of everyones clothes? NOW that is important information that is needed.

Once again, I have chosen a terrible book.

-Lily

6.7/10 stars

Additional Ratings

Historical Accuracy: 5/10

The authors clearly did their research, but it was ruined when the characters opened their mouths.

Sexy Sex: 4/10

They were having fun, but there were way too many words used.

Nicknames: 2/10

The flower nicknames were okay at first but by the time we got to the end we were done.

Notes: Why couldn’t Devon have been a little bit meaner?

I've found myself in an interesting spot in my life. Once again, I've found something to distract me. Or... someone. My friend's cute friend that I met over the summer. I mean, I definitely thought he was cute when everybody planned a day trip, but I had a feeling he liked one of my other friends. It was just the things he was doing. I was like, well okay oh well. I figured it wouldn't go anywhere and it'd be awkward to try and do anything to get my friend's friend's attention. So I just delegated him to being my boredom crush/eye candy. Cool dude, but not anyone I'd be close to besides seeing him once in a while when the group gets together.

But my mental health went for a dip in the deep end so I ended up having more free time. Which allowed me to join my friends in meeting up every week. Guess our late night talks caught his attention. Hilarious. It's always the late night talks when I think about it. But I guess that's how it always happens. You get to know someone a bit more.

Been joking about it for months with my other friends who don't know anyone in this group. I didn't expect it to go anywhere at all (see paragraph one).

So here I am. Fooling around with someone. Again. I'm a little afraid it'll make things really weird in the friend group if it ends weirdly. It Already made things weird in the group. Unintentionally. Because my ex got really weird about it during new years.

I think we settled it alright. But I'm still thinking about how I responded and I wonder if I should have done something else. Was I too nice? I don't want to split the friend group up by saying I never want to see him again, meaning we would be invited to different things separately. I'm old enough to not get FOMO, but I think it still stinks.

I kind of wish I was meaner, but that's really like. Negative energy.

I haven't talked to some of my friends individually since last month, so I don't think they know anything except like a vague notion that Something happened. I suppose I'll hang out with them sometime soon so I can get their opinion on how I handled everything. Was I too non-confrontational, like I tend to be avoidant of anything even remotely negative, so was this just an avoidant response or am I just that chill like I say I am.

I am all bark and no bite. Sometimes I do want to be as bitchy of a person as the scenarios I make up in my head when I weigh what I want to do in a situation. It's kind of scary the amount of knowledge you have of a person when you date them, and how much power that can give you when you break up. I could destroy them if I wanted to. But I'm not that kind of person at all. At the end of the day, I don't really want to be in any drama personally.

Cycling back to my current situation, I'm just here to have fun. I'm not sure what exactly I want right now. I think I'm a bit afraid of trying to decide if I want anything like a relationship right now or not. Again I don't want to make things weird in the little group I hang out with right now because I'm greatly enjoying spending my time with them goofing off. I think we're cool enough that if we decided nope right now, it would be okay. I think. I don't think I have a good read on him right now to figure out how he would react though. Will I end up in a weird situation like my ex, or is he more put together that he would know how to handle it. I mean he's had a few more exes than my ex did, so I think he'll be alright.

I mean, if he's down for more I'll go for it haha. Maybe that's what I want, but I'm not pining or infatuated right now. I can go slow or stop.

🔞 did they know they had a piss kink before you?

uhh what it says on the tin!! and my thoughts about it, as well as what i think their fav parts of it are :)c

(obvi cw for piss stuff)

Lucifer

oh he had no fuckin idea

this man has the pride stick shove so far up his ass i'd be surprised if he even let someone have sex with him before you came around, so it's really a testament to how much he loves and trusts you <3

fav part: probably the connection he feels with you + the occasional bit of humiliation and hit to his pride

Mammon

he like had it in the back of his mind

i could see him vaguely thinking about it during Horny Time and maybe even when he's so far deep in the mindset that he looks it up to jack off to and then afterwards feels kinda bad cause "it's Weird" :(

fav part: oh he loves it all, he's the devildom's number one pissbaby!!

Levi

oh yeah 100%

he knew about like all his kinks, even without much (or any lol) sexual experience, i'm sure he's read and watched enough hentai to know his preferences, i could totally see him experimenting with it, mainly with fantasising about his waifus/husbandos degrading him about it (before you came down and helped him out with it obvi obvi)

and like hey he's got the bathtub for it so he's free to piss himself all he wants with minial cleanup

fav part: tsunderes is the same, he loves every aspect of it, but mainly the humiliation aspect (duh he's leviathan)

Satan

yeah he knew, he knew

he didn't really do anything with it other than the occasional masturbation fantasy, will Vehemently deny it if someone jokes about it with him because he can't have it get out that he wants to get pissed on, his poor lil reputation would be at stake, sweetie you couldn't be more obvious you have one with that reaction <3

fav part: he likes it as a kind of his partner marking him as theirs and like lucifer, a testament to how much he loves and trusts you, it makes his heart full, and his bladder empty

Asmo

FINALLY a demon lord who fucks, yeah he knew!!

i am fairly certain asmo has tried out Most kinks in existence at least once, so it's not too surprising honestly!! i feel like he prefers getting pissed in the most and i can totally see a scenario of him and solomon having drunk sex and sol accidentally doing it but oh man is asmo even more turned on now!!

fav part: he likes being pissed in!! he just thinks the sensation is nice, i don't feel like his feeling for is too too deep, just another sex thing!!

Beel

this... this poor guy, he like half knew

OK OK so football jocks are fuckin Weird and maybe if one of his meaner teammates happened to give him a water bottle full of piss as a joke and it unlocked something deep within beel's brain, then hey!!

it's like the One even remotely humiliation thing he likes, the idea that it's this forbidden drink he's not supossed to have but he craves so much Really hits him, he's 100% drank his own before too as well, but it doesn't taste as good as yours eventually does for him

fav part: he loves drinking it, it's like the most heavenly ichor to his taste buds

Belphie

he doesn't cause he just doesn't connect the dots tbh

maybe his weird lil brain just refuses to accept it before he has someone willing to tweak his brain a bit to make him fully realize it

he's def pissed himself cause he slept too long and got unreasonably horny about it, he just brushed it off as morning wood or having some kind of wet dream (well it sure turned into one!!) and takes care of it

fav part: he likes being pissed in and wetting himself, he's not a big fan of the taste honestly and like asmo it's mainly the sensation, he particularly likes the feeling of his bladder being full

I’m feeling a little angst with a sweet ending, 39 and 41 with Crosshair?

Stop Hiding

Sure thing, thanks for the request as well!! I appreciate it a lot 🥰

Crosshair x Reader: “Were you ever going to tell me?” and “You can’t just lose your temper anytime you get slightly upset!”

Warning: angst, sarcasm. Rude comments. Crosshair being insecure.

Words: 1.2k

"I am fully convinced you never even graduated kindergarten," your voice bounced off the walls to his ears. Watching as crosshair snapped his eyes up to glare into yours. The bickering had been going on for a while now. The two of you were getting worse and worse. Tech barely even knew why.

"Kindergarten? I'm a clone. Schooling was programmed into me, di'kut!" He snapped. Rolling his eyes while he twirled the toothpick between his lips.

The rest of the gang left the two of you there to 'work it out.' That was going great, wasn't it? A stubborn ass, and you. Someone who is also stubborn. Having to work out whatever.. Whatever this was.

"Oh, because they knew you wouldn't be able to be taught." You snapped back to his response. He didn't want to admit it, but your words were truly hurting him. Out of everything in the books he hated being belittled. You could call him all the names in the book, but the moment you started treating him like he wasn't enough. Or that he was stupid. Of all things. He wanted to shut down and cry a little. Though he never would.

"Could you stop calling me that!" He nearly screamed. Pacing back and forth.

Your smirk fell. Thinking you finally stumped him. Thinking maybe, you won.

"Calling you what-?" You asked, and he gave you one of the scariest looks you've seen him direct towards you. His mouth was in a pout, brows furrowed. Nose scrunched as his fists balled up.

"Stupid! I'm not, I didn't choose to have knowledge programmed into me! I didn't ask to be a walking weapon!" His voice cracked and he had to coil back. His chest heaving out of frustration and anger.

"Alright, then stop being so rude to me! What'd I do? I have been nothing but nice to you, and you come at me so I retaliate!" You admitted. Growing equally frustrated. "I thought we were working things out for a while there, Cross, but you keep shutting me out and I'm tired of it."

He wouldn't make eye contact with you now. His eyes watching the cracks on the floor. Fists still balled. Knuckles white.

"Crosshair. I'm sor-" "Don't." He interrupted you. Walking off for the back.

You were left standing there. Your stomach felt empty, and your head was pounding. The two of you had never gotten this into it. Ever.

You waited what felt like it was hours, but it was probably only fifteen minutes. Approaching the back where his and his brothers bunks were. You normally fell asleep in the main room of the marauder. Especially with how Crosshair had been treating you.

You stood in the doorway. Watching as he laid curled up on a top bunk. His back facing the wall. A small idea crossing your mind. Though you knew it was probably more dangerous than anything.

You climbed up the side of the bunk. Throwing your legs over to sit next to him. Though he only coiled further away from you. Nearly pressing himself into the wall in attempts to escape you.

Your hand reached out to touch his hair. Hesitating when he flinched, but you returned your hand. You and the bad batch had been together for years. All of you close friends, and you and Crosshair? You used to be close, but over the years it had been rougher and rougher with each passing day.

Your hand ran through his hair. Rubbing his scalp gently as he slowly eased into your touch.

"Crosshair.." he didn't respond, but you continued anyway. "I'm sorry."

"Shut up," he grumbled. Moving to lie his head in your lap. Wrapping his arms around your waist while you continue to run your fingers through his hair.

"I said shut it, Cyare." He snarled.

Your face heated up at the name. The boys had taught you some Mando'a. Mainly Tech, plus Crosshair used to call you nicknames all the time. Some meaner than others.

So the name made your stomach flutter and your lips curl up. Though you didn't say anything about it. He hadn't called you the name in what felt like ages.

"Wanna talk?" You asked after a few moments. Crosshair grumbling something under his breath.

"What?" He sighed. Burying his face on your side. "I don't know.."

"You don't have to, Cross." He nodded. Letting out a small, "ok."

He laid like this for a while, and you began growing impatient. "But you can’t just lose your temper anytime you get slightly upset, it makes me think I did something wrong." You told him. Feeling his grip tightening around you as you continued to play with his hair.

"I'm just upset, all the time, and I just.." he sputtered out some words. Face twisting up as he tried to think of what he was trying to say. "Tech told me you liked me." He spoke, and you tensed up. You had told the clone about your feelings for his brother so long ago you almost forgot. No, you did forget you told him.

"What-" "just shut up, please." He scoffed, and you nodded. "Sorry."

He sighed. Rolling onto his back with a groan as he stared up, but not at you. More so the ceiling. Avoiding your eyes.

"You're fine." It was quiet for a few more seconds. "I just.. I panicked and didn't want you liking someone like me."

You were watching him. Absent-mindedly tracing his jawline. Watching as his eyes darted around. His head tilting into your touch ever so slightly.

"Like you?" He nodded at your words. Looking up to your eyes.

"You deserve better than me." He admitted.

You chuckled, watching as his brows furrowed at your eye roll. "So you decided to make me feel like you hated me?" He shrugged. "It worked, didn't it?"

You rubbed his chest a bit. Watching him relax back against your legs. "Yeah, but when were you going to tell me any of this?" You asked. Watching his shoulder shrug again.

"Never, I guess. Figured you'd meet someone else instead of just calling me stupid." He scoffed. Frowning a bit, and you sighed. Glancing to the side, and then back to him. "I'm sorry about that.. I didn't mean it that way. You were just pissing me off and it was all I could think of."

He snorted. Sitting up to sit next to you now. "I know, you aren’t the brightest with comebacks." He added. Licking his lips with a sigh.

You groaned. Shoving him a bit. "Shut up," "Thought you liked it when I talked to you? I can't be nice and shut up. Pick one, ner Sarad." He added with a coy smile. "I can make you shut up," you added matter of factly. He cooked a brow. "Oh yeah?" He asked, watching as you leaned in closer to his face. Your lips getting closer and closer. To the point where your nose grazed his.

"Yeah, can't hear you if I ain't in the same room, twig." You spoke with a snicker. Pulling back and jumping off the bunk before he could close the gap or pull you back. Smirking at his grunt as you left him with nothing. "That's not making me shut up, you said shut up, not quiet, hey, get back here I'm not done with you!"

The whole time traveling children has me feelin some type of way tbh. Imagine Mirio, Kaminari, and Tamaki walking into their respective rooms and there are just small children vibing. Mirio with his daughter, Kaminari with a daughter and Tamaki with a son. 😭

as i said, parent!bnha is SUPERIOR

A/N: So, instead of making these separate asks, I’m just going to make it one giant post. I thought it would be easier that way. Probably the only post that’ll have more than three characters lol

Warnings: none

Kaminari Denki:

when kaminari walked into his room, he didn't expect to see two children on his bed fighting like wild animals

the younger girl was totally beating the boy’s ass tho

kinda embarrassing bc she’s gotta be like, seven, at most

as if it’s not the weirdest thing he’s seen (bc it’s not) he rushes in to break them apart

he manages to separate them with his arms

the boy with yellow hair snaps his jaws at his sister’s fingers

“hey! bad! no biting!” he scolds

the little girl blows a raspberry and taunts “yeah! papa says no biting!”

the older sibling just rolls his eyes “rat”

meanwhile, denki is literally malfunctioning

papa?

PAPA? HUH???

the only person’s pants (and heart) he’s been trying to get in to for the past three months was y/n’s and he sure as hell would remember if he did

he didn't have kids

especially one that was his age

“sorry! you two are cute, but i’m not your pops”

thus, they begin to tell denki about how they mayhaps followed him and their mother into a dangerous mission and got hit with a time travel quirk

denki just nods his head

tbh, he’s not that weirded out

weirder things have happened

but, he does have one question

“who’s the lucky woman?”

coincidentally, you bust into his dorm room, wet from a recent prank and head steaming with anger

“Kaminari Denki!”

his son juts a thumb over to you

“the woman that’s about to murder you”

“oh say less”

his life literally couldn't get any better

before you get the chance to throttle him, the little girl jumps in your arms and your anger is immediately quelled

“hey mommy! i just wanna let you know that it was [son’s name]’s fault that we followed you when you told us not to”

“WHAT!?”

you’re to busy trying to get them from killing each other to comprehend anything that’s going on

kaminari is in a love-struck gaze bc hot damn, he won the jackpot, huh?

if he wasn't in love with you before, he’s in love with you now

you and your feral children

it was nice being God’s favorite

Kirishima Eijirou:

funny thing was

kirishima woke up from his afternoon nap with his mini-me in his arms!

at first, he was really confused as to why there was an 8 yr old boy with spiky teeth and (your hair texture) black hair on his bed

he thought he was dreaming

then the little boy bit his nose and grinned like he had done the funniest thing in the world

“WAKE UP DADDY! WE GOTTA GET SWOL TODAY”

did he get hit with some duplication quirk?

and what was that he said...daddy?

as in, father?

kirishima is wide awake now, but before he can ask the kid what’s going on, the boy is up and making use of his punching bag

he decides it wouldn't hurt to get a morning work out in, so he decides to humor the kid

after a mini workout, kirishima is in near tears as the boy tries to flex the little muscles he has

eventually, he gets the kid to tell him what happened and finds out he was hit with a time travel quirk of some sort

instead of being weirded out, kirishima is ESCTATIC

he has a family in the future

he’s so excited and proud that he just has to show his son off to his friends!

the first thing he does is go and bother bakusquad in the common room

he’s bragging like shit to them and his ego swells as they all swoon over how cute and handsome the kid is

you and bakugo come out of the kitchen to see what all the commotion is about and the little boy excitedly runs to you and jumps into your arms

“momma! you’re here! you’re so pretty! why’d you marry daddy when he looks so unswol?”

it’s silent before bakugo fucking dies of laughter

“y-you finally let shitty hair hit it? and got knocked up?? LMAO”

everyone’s dying and kirishima wants to die

he can’t believe this was how his long-term crush on you was getting outted

by an 8 yr old boy

so not manly

you look confused before you put the pieces together

the kid did look like you and kirishima

you want to console kirishima about the crush that you lowkey knew he had on you, but your son was one step ahead of you

with a gracious smile, he hits bakugo’s head

hard

“what the fuck kid!?”

“don’t make fun of daddy, uncle bakugo! at least daddy didn’t faint at his wedding″

Bakugo’s contemplating murder and everyone’s rolling on the floor

“WE BEEN KNEW YOU WERE THE BIGGEST SIMP”

even ten years later, bakugo still holds a grudge against your son

Togata Mirio:

i’m about to kill y’all w this one

since year one, mirio has been feigning over you

but 1) you were too dumb to notice 2) you both were really busy with, y’know, school and 3) he lowkey gave up bc he thought you deserved better

so imagine his surprise when he sees this four year old girl on his bed

and she looks like you with his features

mirio might not be the brightest crayon in the crayon box

but he’s got eyes

and it wasn't like he’s memorized your features to the T

the tiny girl is swinging her legs absent-mindedly before exploding with happiness when he sees him

she runs to mirio and he catches her with open arms

“daddy! daddy! i got hit with the coolest quirk at school today!”

proceeds to tell him about her best friend discovered her quirk and it was a teleportation quirk

mirio can’t help but giggle along with her even tho he knew it was a scary situation for the parents

speaking of which...

he innocently asks her who’s the mom

“mommy is the prettiest mommy in the world! she has e/c eyes, hair like me, and the most beautiful s/c skin! her name is togata y/n!”

if he wasn't geeking before, he’s geeking now

not only did he manage to marry you, but you let him be your baby daddy?

him?

big bet

mirio doesn't even care at this point

he’s parading around UA with the fattest smile as he introduces his daughter to damn near everyone

everyone’s freaking out bc wtf when did mirio get someone pregnant??

maybe he should've explained himself, but he sees you at your locker and makes a b-line for you

“good morning, y/n!”

he doesn't notice that you slam your locker close and hide the confession letter you wrote to him behind your back

you’re a stuttering mess and he’s too busy basking in the fact that he’s holding y’alls child

y’all look like a mess

but he’s ready to lay it on thick when the little girl kisses your nose and cheers,

“mommy, i missed you”

he explains the situation

you cant help but smile, “you know this could potentially ruin the timeline?”

and you feel like melting as he gives you the softest smile

“there’s no way I’m letting that happen. not when i end up with the woman i’m in love with. we’ll just have to twist fate together”

and twist it you did

Tamaki Amajiki:

tamaki wasn't the bravest person ever

and he knew his crippling anxiety got in the way of a lot

but he had never been more proud of himself for managing to invite you to his room

it was supposed to be a study date

despite how bold you normally were, he took comfort in how nervous you seemed

now, you two were leaning in, about to kiss

and then a voice from behind interrupts

“uh, am i interrupting something?”

you two let out the ugliest squeal and jump 50 feet away from each other

you’re all over the place, trying to explain the situation

tamaki’s heart is barely beating at this point

it takes the kid, who looks about 16, about thirty minutes to calm you down and revive tamaki

explains that he’s from the future and a descendant of tamaki’s family

decides to leave out that you two are his parents so he doesn't risk possibly erasing himself from the space continuum

that would be bad

despite how surprised you two were, you two take it rather well

you three spend the day together bc you and tamaki feel this weird sense of responsibility for the guy even though he’s only two years younger

the boy is trying his hardest not to expose himself, but it’s so hard

you two are asking him everything from his favorite food to if he has any siblings

he’s good at pretending that he’s cool, calm, and collected, but he wants nothing more than to jump into his parents’ arms and cry about how scared he is of messing up

but he won’t

bc he’s a strong boy

but he slips up

“how far are you down the future?” tamaki asks

“uh, about like 100 years or so--”

“you’re lying”

the kid nearly chokes on his food as his father blinks at him

you try and scold tamaki but he continues

“i don’t mean to be mean, but your nose twitches when you lie. y/n does the same thing”

that’s when the jazz record stops and everyone is staring at one another

“....wait”

this time, you nearly pass out

y’all had a kid together???

THE HELL??

the boy, coincidentally, starts fading and he thinks he fucked up

now he’s full out sobbing into the both of your chests, scared that he’s disappearing

despite the news, you and tamaki calm down, look at each other, and hold your son

“don’t you worry, baby” you coo, kissing his fading hair

“i have a feeling we’ll see you quite soon” tamaki comforts, closing his eyes

Bakugo Katsuki:

bakugo finally understood when his mom said

“the meaner you are to your parents, the nastier your kids will be to you”

he regretted being such a demon bc his kid was literally the spawn of satan

katsuki didn’t need an explanation to know that that...thing was his kid

he looked damn near identical to him with features that he couldn't quite place

but anyways, that wasn't the focus rn

rn, he was trying to figure out a way to keep that animal caged

as soon as katsuki took his eyes off him, the six yr old ran out the door as fast as his little legs could carry him

“catch me if you can, you old bastard!”

yup, it was his kid

“GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE FUCKER”

his son is blasting his way through the halls, skillfully evading Katsuki’s grabbing hands

he’s wildly laughing as he flips and turns through the doors, watching with glee as his father falls on his face

multiple times

the small boy latches on to a cupboard and smirks

“no wonder mom always beats your ass! you weak!”

katsuki nearly looks like the devil, eyes white, and face red with fury

his pride suffering by the second

he’s about to cuss the kids to hell when you come out of the kitchen, confused

you were about to ask why katsuki looked like a rat with rabies before you caught sight of a basket of fruit teetering on the edge of the cabinet, above the little boy’s head

“look out--”

the basket falls on the kid’s head and he’s on the floor, reeling from the hit

katsuki would've normally laughed his ass off, but he felt kind of...concerned?

he watches you run towards the child who’s trying his hardest not to cry

the boy holds his head, fat tears in his eyes as you pick him up and coddle over him

“i’m sorry, baby. I'm sorry i didnt get there in time”

cue the waterworks

the boy is full-on sobbing into your chest about how his head hurts

you bounce him and kiss his forehead as katsuki checks over the red bump

“you’ll be okay, brat” he comforts, voice softer than usual

in that moment, katsuki can’t help but notice how much a family y’all look like rn

then the dots start connecting and he goes

oh shit

so, maybe, he’s had a tiny crush on you

and it didn’t help that you two were friends with benefits bc yall were horny teenagers

but who knew he’d get the balls to ask you out on a proper date one day

he was such a simp for you gosh it was ugly

“you have to be more careful from now on,” you say to the boy

the brat suddenly looks innocent and katsuki wants to throw him

“sorry, mommy. i’ll be gooder”

the look on your face is priceless

bakugo uses it as a chance to kiss you

“huh?”

“i guess now’s a good time to tell you that i want to be your dick on demand but with feelings and shit, dumbass”

Dive Into You

warnings: strong langue

era: summer 2020

❀ When the members find themselves in a less than ideal situation Mark has to assert his dominance over the younger members in some way

“Guys~ I think I have some bad news.” The car engine sputtered a few times causing the 4 boys to look at JiHo with worried expressions. “What’s that?” Renjun asked, who was sat in the passenger’s seat next to JiHo. He watches as JiHo’s lips turn into a tight-lipped smile and the cars starts going slower, and slower, until it ultimately reaches a complete stand still. “So we might have run out of gas.”

The boys in the back seat groan, unable to process the situation they were currently in. “How?! You said we’d be fine on gas!” Renjun immediately fired at her. “Excuse you, we would’ve been okay if we stopped at the gas station earlier, but you suck at giving directions so guess where we didn’t go.” She didn’t make eye contact with the boy, only staring out in front of her, her voice laced with an extremely sarcastic mocking tone.

“Uh-uh.” Renjun pushed himself up from his comfortable position in the seat to face JiHo completely. “Maybe it’s you who sucks at taking directions!” “No I don’t.” “You totally do!” Before the two could go on with their childish back and forth Mark put his hand between the two young adults – how are these kids adults already? “Let’s not, okay? Whoever’s fault it is, we’re here now and we need to find a way to get back home.”

Renjun sighs and plops himself back in his seat, but not without Jiho noticing the exaggerated roll of his eyes which she gladly mimics. “Well it’s definitely JiHo’s fault.” The Chinese member mumbles. However the rest of the car clearly heard it and they all groan. “You’re such a child.” The girl scoffed and then turned her head to look outside of the window.

It’s quiet for a few minutes in the front of the car, while Mark, Haechan and Jeno contemplate their options. Since they were stranded in the middle of nowhere, they didn’t have any reception on their phones and most of them were on the brink of dying. “We’re doomed!” Haechan cried out in stress to which Mark just tried to comfort him with a small pat on his thigh.

“Well we know who we have to thank for this.” “Can you quit it. I’m sorry, okay? But it’s not only my fault.” JiHo was clearly getting ticked off by Renjun’s behaviour. “We know JiHo. It’s okay, maybe a car will pass by us and they can help us.” Mark tried to lighten up the mood. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen another car though.” Jeno muttered to - what was just supposed to be – himself, yet the small confinement, the car, they were in made it so everyone could hear. “Thanks Jeno, I’m sure that’s what we all wanted to hear right now.” Haechan said through gritted teeth to which Jeno quickly apologised.

“I knew I shouldn’t have gotten into this car with you-“ “Oh my God! You are being insanely annoying right now! Do you even hear yourself?” JiHo’s last ounce of patience ran out at yet another unnecessary remark from the boy next to her. “I know we’re all sensitive from this heat and the situation we’re in but let’s be nice-“ Mark tried to reason, but got completely ignored instead. “I was sure I was going to die, but I didn’t expect it to be this way.” “Have you ever considered becoming an actor? Drama seems to be a great fit for you.” JiHo spat venomously. “Have you? Comedy seems right up your ally.” Renjun sent her an equally venomous smile.

“You know? If you knew how to properly drive, this wouldn’t have happened.” “I’ve had my licence since I was 18 and no one has ever complained about my driving skills.” The fighting continued. Haechan and Jeno already tuned themselves out of the argument, the heat getting to their heads and making them slightly dizzy.

“Maybe everyone was just to scared to tell you the truth.” “Huang Renjun, if you say one more thing, I’ll swear I’ll-“ JiHo threatened, pointing her finger at the boy who just raised one brow and stared at her mockingly. “Both of you!” Mark suddenly yelled, catching everyone off guard.

The four 00 liners watched as Mark took a second to calm his ragged breathing. “Hyung?” Jeno tapped the older boy’s shoulder. “Are you okay?” Renjun asked. As a response he was met with Mark opening his eyes and shooting daggers through them at him and his female friend – maybe not in this particular situation, but on good days they were definitely great friends. “Get out of the car.” The boy said in a dangerously low voice. “But-“ “GET OUT NOW!”

Renjun and JiHo quickly got out of the car, instantly getting hit by the intense rays of the sun. Ever since the car had stopped working it was still cool inside, the air conditioner had been working up until that point, so getting outside they were hit by reality. Luckily there was still a nice, strong, cool breeze that soothed their already burning skin.

Inside the car Haechan and Jeno watched the older boy with wide eyes. “What are you doing?” Haechan asked carefully. He would never admit it, but in that particular moment, Haechan was slightly scared of Mark. “It’s really hot outside. Hyung-“ “Jeno, get in the driver’s seat.” Mark eyed the boy who without a word complied and crawled out of the car. Mark followed suit.

“Hyung! The sun’s burning me. What do you want us to do outside?” As soon as Renjun’s eyes caught Mark getting out of the car, he complained with a visible pout on his lips. His eyes followed the older boy’s figure walking to the door of the passenger’s seat. “What-“ Renjun stuttered, completely dumbfounded.

“You two-“ He pointed at Renjun and then at JiHo. “-push.” Mark opened the door and just as he was about to climb into his seat he heard multiple complaints and cries from the two younger members. “I can’t even see the next exit or stop from here. Until when do you want us to push?” JiHo asked exasperated. “Just push until anyone’s phone gets enough reception to call for help, or until we see another car pass by.”

Mark now had one foot into the car when another question halted him. “What if neither works out?” JiHo was a bit more careful with her tone now. She realised that they had really pushed Mark’s patience and it was of no use to continue to fight back. “Then you’ll push until we get to the next stop.” “Hyung?” Renjun quickly yelled before Mark could close the door. “Can’t Jeno or Haechan help? JiHo isn’t the strongest if you know what I mean-“ “Shut it, stick boy.” JiHo hissed earning a glare from the boy.

The oldest sighed. “Jeno is in the driver’s seat and Haechan needs to keep an eye out on his phone. His has the most battery.” “And you?” Renjun mumbled. “I am gonna close this door so I don’t have to hear you anymore and then I’m going to close my eyes and take a nap. I have a headache because of you.”

Without giving Renjun a chance to say anything, Mark closes the door harshly leaving Renjun standing in the blaring sun flustered. His head snaps up when he heard JiHo snicker. “Not gonna lie, but Mark really got you with that one.” “Oh shut up. You know he was talking about both of us.” Renjun made his way over to JiHo who was ready to start pushing the car. “I only heard ‘you’. Not ‘you both’ or ‘the two of you’.” She beamed, shaking her body in a playful way. The sight eased Renjun’s tense body just a tad, he couldn’t believe JiHo was being so upbeat even after getting scolded and punished by their older member. She was really something else.

“Hey you two! Start pushing!” Renjun and JiHo looked up to see Haechan peek his head out of the car window. “Yah! Haechan!” Renjun tried his best not to swear at the boy who was already getting on his nerves. “I suggest you don’t look straight in front of you then.” JiHo giggled. The boy was slightly confused but as he did just what she told him not to do it was clear to him that JiHo could absolutely read his mind.

Haechan was perched up on his knees on the back seat of the car facing the back and staring at the two pushing the car. He sent them teasing glances, clearly amused by how the situation panned out. “That loser.” “I don’t think you get to call him that when we’re here, outside, pushing a car in the middle of nowhere.” JiHo reminded him and the boy sighed. “You’re right. I guess.”

After about 2 minutes of pushing the car in silence Renjun spoke up. “Hey-“ He panted and JiHo turned to look at him. She saw how the strands of his hair were stuck to his forehead, sweat dripping down and pooling at his chin. “What’s up?” JiHo asked, her breath also uneven. “I’m sorry that I was so mean to you before. That was way out of line.” “Hey, it’s fine. We were all a bit sensitive because of this whole situation which is far from… ideal.” Renjun sighed and stopped pushing causing JiHo to lose her balance for a second. “Why did you stop?” She wiped the sweat of her forehead and looked at the boy.

“I hate when you do this.” “Do what?” Confusion washed over JiHo’s face. “You’re always the angel in these situations. Never really say anything wrong and always accept apologies so quickly.” JiHo chuckled at the way Renjun looked so defeated. “Want me to be meaner and not accept your apology?” This caused Renjun to roll his eyes and return to push the car. JiHo quickly got back as well to help him.

“That’s not what I meant.” “If it makes you feel any better, in my mind I was totally cursing you out and fully blaming you.” Renjun’s eyes widened almost comically and JiHo had to force herself not to laugh. “How is that supposed to make me feel better- Wait! I’m almost a full year older then you, you should be a bit more respectful-“ “Hey!” Before a new argument could break out Haechan’s voice sounded loudly.

“What? Did you get enough reception?” JiHo and Renjun quickly made their way to the door on Haechan’s side. “No, I just thought maybe we should take a picture real quick. So we have a way to commemorate this and retell this story in the future.” The two members who stood outside started to feel their blood boil. “Lee Haechan, I swear I’ll kill you.” Renjun threatened through gritted teeth.

JiHo tried her hardest not to smile, she really did, but the situation was just too funny. “What are you laughing at huh?” JiHo turned her head to the left to see a sweaty Haechan glaring at her. “Nothing, nothing.” She snickered and faced away from the boy only to find Renjun having an equally as amused grin on his face. “Just keep pushing.” Haechan mumbled annoyed.

Suddenly Mark’s face appeared through the window from the passenger’s side of the car. “The three of you! Just shut up and push. I think the reception is getting stronger.” A second of silence. “Oh wait! Never mind.” He turned to look at the younger members, a sickly sweet smile appearing on his face. “Just keep pushing okay?”

Side note: There’s absolutely no correlation between the title and the story besides that there’s a car and it has the Dream members in it ^^

I loved writing this though, it’s a bit longer than usual since more inspiration kept coming while I was writing it. I hoped you liked it as much as I liked writing it!

I hope you have a nice day/evening/night <3 and depending on where you are, if you are also experiencing this insane heat, please stay hydrated and take care of yourself. Don’t just go out without protecting yourself from the sun! Renjun and JiHo were wearing sunscreen and Mark handed them enough cold water from the cooler they had in the back of the car <3
