I’m gonna be real with you guys, I kind of dread the idea of trying to raise any future kids in this church
#and it’s not because i don’t believe the faith. obvs i do#but like in practice i’m either going to be going by myself or with my mom & siblings or whoever#i don’t have any friends my age so idk how i’m gonna find good friends for future kids#and obvs i want them to have good friends#i do believe in the virtues of friendship and believe it’s an important thing for people to experience and work at#but also i’ve had a lot of heartbreak in friendship and have a complicated relationship with it#and when i think back on my own childhood in churches it was always so turbulent#both because my family didn’t gel with the cultures/ideals of so many parishes#and because my dad made enemies everywhere we went (for obvious reasons but still)#that wasn’t us kids’ fault#but it didn’t matter#i thought i had adults to look up to in faith#but i have literally none i have a close relationship with#and even the ones i respect that doesn’t mean they’re good around kids#or would like hanging out with me#and i don’t want just any random person thinking because they’ve talked to me a couple times#that they get say in the close intimate decisions or issues i have with my spouse or children#the whole thing is strange tbh#like i don’t even want to have a close relationship with some priests even if i respect them or like them#and too many priests think that just cause they see you once a week they know you and should have a say in things they know nothing about#idk man catholicism in america and maybe the world is just. so hard nowadays.

Hi! It's me again, I was wondering if I could ask a Derek hale x sister! Reader where since the hale fire the reader stop talking to anyone but only her siblings (like laura, Derek and cora) and one day the pack come in to derek's loft and saw reader whispering to Derek a d they ate shocked because even at school she never speak but as soon as she saw them she stop speaking/whispering to him. So the pack always try to make her speak by speaking to her or asking her things but reader either sigh or growl but never speak to them even though they're her pack because she's afraid that they'll die once she will start being friendly with tem, sos some people of the pack start getting frustrated and stiles or someone else make a comment about her being mut or thinking that she was mute and Derek her big brother stand up for her. Please and sorry it's so so long.
Derek defending Reader b/c of their Quietness
UGH YES LOVE THIS🦅🦅🦅 it’s not long bro, don’t even worry about it, I love writing for teen wolf teehee
Idk if I did you justice but I hope you enjoy this!!
Tumblr media
Derek is SUPER protective of you, like it’s not even funny😭
Since you’re with your older brother most of the time, the pack has gotten used to your presence and silence, yet were always so curious to know more about you!
But whenever they’ve come across you, whether it be at school, walking down a street, or even when fighting, you never say a peep to any of them
They obviously know that you somewhat care for them with all the times you’ve saved their asses from trouble, but you’re just so quiet that it’s hard to form a connection with you
I don’t think they’ve actually heard your voice besides from the occasion sigh or chuckle you would let out whenever someone said something funny
At one point they all just assumed you were mute until they one day unexpectedly dropped by Derek’s studio when they hear faint talking from outside his door
Of course they hear Derek’s deep voice, but they also hear a new voice as well
This once is much softer, yet filled with life as they heard the joyful laughing of this unknown person
Stiles being Stiles, homeboy just barges in to see who this new person only to see the surprised faces of you and your brother
“You can talk?!” Is definitely the first thing this dude would say
Your mouth is glued shut at the question and before the group can begin interrogating you, Derek steps in to separate you all
Since then, the group (mostly stiles tho) would try and make you talk
Whether it be about the most random things, they are always in some way waiting for your response
I think Allison would be the one in the pack to understand your hesitance of forming a connection with them because of your terrible pst
She understands your boundaries and only converses with you when it’s only the two of you
Allison doesn’t let her surprise how on her face you you laugh at a joke she offhandedly said to make you feel comfortable
She’s the only one you would actually talk to in private, allowing her to take a place in your heart with how many times she’s saved you, and made you laugh
Scott doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable by any means, but sometimes the silence between you both makes him feel awkward
He definitely bugs Derek about it though. Because of how much he asks about it, Derek does fold at one point and reveals why you never speak around them
Scott sees you in a different light at the knowledge of you scared of forming relationships with them, but he doesn’t treat you any differently
He’s learned to embrace the silence and calmness you bring, throwing smiles towards you every now and then when you guys make eye contact
Lydia and Stiles are more of the pushy types, always bothering you about why you don’t talk
Lydia learns to just let I go though after the first few times she tries talking to you
She doesn’t wanna waste her breath when you won’t even respond to a yes or no question😭 you usually communicate with her with your eyes or by nodding your head
Stiles on the other hand won’t let go of it
He’s always asking you questions, waiting for a response before babbling about something else
There are times that he asks sensitive questions which he knows is wrong and insensitive of him but he just wants to hear you speak again
I think we all know how stiles is, pushing someone’s else’s limits until they actually do so emerging to him to him shut up💀
I think Scott might reveal a little about you to Stiles because of how annoying he’s gotten about the subject
Stiles actually gets fed up one random day tho after the group almost gets killed because of your reluctance to communicate with them, making an off handed, and lowkey insulting, comment towards you
“What, are you finally gonna speak at our funerals when one of us dies? There won’t really be a point in doing so though.”
Might not seem like much, but for you, your heart breaks at that
He will admit it’s not his proudest moment
The second the comment leaves his mouth tho, Derek is slamming the younger boy against a way and giving him the death stare
Everyone gasps at the sound of Stiles hitting the wall
Scott tries to make Derek let go, but Stiles was talking shit to his younger sibling and he’s not gonna take that
You quickly walk over though, resting a hand on his arm
Everyone is supposed, even Derek, when you speak
“It’s ok Derek, let him go.”
After a moment of hesitation, Derek lets Stiles go, not before threatening to rip his head off if her ever speaks to you like that
Once he’s backed off, you look to Stiles, eyes filled with hurt and anger
“Are you happy now Stiles?”
And boom, you angrily walk away leaving everyone tense, Allison chasing after you
I think this’ll have a more emotional affect on you because this dude basically forced you to kinda relive a trauma you’ve grown to have
He destroyed the coping mechanism you had, which was keeping to yourself in silence
But maybe this was the push you needed. Maybe you needed someone to break you out of this shell you were in.
It was a difficult and scary process for you, but with the support of Derek and Allison, you slowly began speaking more
Starting with small comments, everyone gave you time and space to go at your own pace when talking with you
I think you would have a stutter because of your limited amount of contact you’ve had with other people throughout the years
So the pack patiently as you get out the words and sentences you stumble on occasionally
They don’t make fun of it, but instead encourage you to continue, especially if you get frustrated when you can’t get out a specific word
They are also there to remind you that they’re always going to be there for you, and that they won’t ever leave you💔
You appreciate so much because that’s been your number one fear ever since the fire that happened all those years ago
While at first things were still awkward with you and Stiles, he apologized the second you guys were alone
He’s super sincere and remorse full of the way he treated you. You accept his apology, but not without giving him the classic Hale threat if he ever does it again🤭
Derek is still super protective of you and always reminds you to not push yourself
You honestly love and appreciate him for that, and often remind him how much you appreciate him
Cora, if she’s visiting, would be surprised to hear you talking freely now. While she gives Stiles the stink eye at hearing how it all happened, she’s lowkey happy that you’ve finally broken from your chains of doubt

Why do rumors about Harry and Meghan don’t seem to stick but rumors about William and Kate do? I mean, among a certain demographic or type of people at least. With rumors about H&M, I only ever see people who hate them repeat those rumors, and quite frankly, sometimes they start to sound a bit extreme to me if I try to take a step back from the internet & remember I don’t actually know these people. But with rumors about William and Kate, they get traction outside the sussex squad circle, particularly on Twitter. They get made fun of a lot and I just get this heavy feeling because I feel like there’s so much anger from the sussex squad that they would literally say the worst things about W&K (I see that there’s also so much anger towards Meghan and Harry but of course I have my bias so I feel bad about the ones about W&K more. It’s annoying when some social justice warrior on Twitter say things like “these people defending Kate, do you do the same for Meghan?”. Like, I’m defending Kate because I’m a fan, duh.) l. But anyway, outside our little circle here, people don’t take seriously the rumors regarding Meghan’s kids, for example. Like, some people here say there are rumors that Harry was violent to women, but outside the little circle of extreme royalists/wales fans, nobody thinks of Harry as a violent man. But they do genuinely believe the rumors about William and Kate even though they do not have any proof or whatsoever. They genuinely believe Kate is a victim of William, that he cheats on her, that he’s a bully.
I responded to someone who was spreading some wrong information about Kate’s sick leave (they said it was weird they didn’t post a photo for her birthday — i said they don’t do that every year, they said it was weird they didn’t release a photo of william taking care of the kids/it’s weird we haven’t seen the kids — i said it’s not weird because we only see the kids a few times a year, they said 9 months was weird — i said KP never said 9 months!) I literally simply corrected the wrong information the person was spewing. And then someone responded to me that I sound like the “leave britney alone” people, perhaps implying that i am a part of the problem because I am not entertaining the idea that Kate might need help?? Just because I think before jumping into conspiracy theories? Anyway, it was just a random person on the internet and I shouldn’t be bothered, but still… lol.
That was on reddit. I probably should just avoid that place if the things people have been saying make me feel bad but I wanted to set the record straight lol. Anyway, I also saw some people there quoting articles and stuff about William’s alleged temper. And I’m just like people have been talking about Harry’s temper for years too and they’ve also been documented in articles and books! I guess the difference for them is that Harry has been so open about his therapy.
I also have a confession to make. I was curious about the nature of rumors, so I did a little experiment and sent a tip to deuxmoi to see how easy it really is for anyone to just send it whatever. I didn’t want to make up something really potentially damaging, so I sent something innocent. I just said Meghan wants to work with Greta Gerwig. It got posted but didn’t get any attention. But I feel like if someone sent it something there like Meghan has a sex kink or whatever it still wouldn’t make as much traction as whatever sexual rumor they assigned to William. It would be seen as really disgusting (and rightly so). I mean, I probably shouldn’t feel that bad for a man who would be king and has the resources to protect himself, but people have been sexualizing William perhaps since he turned 18 and the rumors sussex squad spread about him are just another way of doing that.
It’s bothering me these days to be honest. I fear logging on to the internet fearing the things I will see about W&K. I certainly need to step back lol. I also remind myself there are things beyond our control. I look at it from a historical perspective, like there are rumors Anne Boleyn had six toes. So I guess it just comes with the territory for William and Kate that people could say absolutely anything about them.
Part of it probably is that it comes with the territory for William and Kate. Everyone in positions of power have an opposition that wants to weaken their impact so they use gossip as a tool to undermine them. Celebrities, politicians, athletes, rival friend groups in school.
But there are also two other reasons to consider.
First is that we don't actually know a whole lot about William and Kate. Despite being incredibly popular and famous, they're actually pretty private. We don't really know who William and Kate (as well as George, Charlotte, and Louis) are beyond what they have said in interviews or done in public on their engagements. They also don't speak to the press, fully adhering to "never complain, never explain." So because we don't know a whole lot about them, it's easier to make things up to justify, explain, or describe what we see. It sticks because they're never going to address it: not to confirm, not to deny, not to deflect.
Unlike Meghan and Harry. They're constantly talking to the press and constantly addressing whatever is being said about them. They give us information to that justifies, explains, describes what they do. We don't need to make stuff up because they're giving it to us on a silver platter. But more than that, specifically when it comes to the more egregious rumors like the ones about their children, they go straight to the narcisstic DARVOing, which is particularly effective at getting people to stop talking about you.
Second is that the Sussexes have the power of repetition. The rumors they create and the stories they tell about the Waleses stick because they keep being told. They sell the same story to People, Page Six, The Cut, E News, the Daily Mail, and Netfilix. Then they tell the same story to Scobie, Abigail Spencer, MIsan, Oprah, Tyler Perry, CDAN, DeuxMoi, Bouzy, and the social media bots. And all those publications, all those people, all those bots talk about it so it picks up traction, everyone repeats it, and it spreads like wildfire. Because the Sussexes have told so many people, there are many sources talking about it, so the general public is more likely to believe it - "I heard it from X, Y, Z, and 1, 2, 3, so it MUST be true."
Unlike William and Kate, who don't have pet reporters or pet publications or bots to fight these battles with. At most, they talk to one reporter for an exclusive every 2-3 months, if even. So because there's no "institutional backing" to Sussex rumors that spend the time and effort to keep them in the public space (like Oprah, Netflix, People, or even the Waleses themselves) long enough for the more mainstream public to become aware, the Sussex rumors die on the vine and everyone who talks about it looks unhinged.
That's why Kensington Palace speaking to Page Six was so groundbreaking. It's the first time the Waleses met the Sussexes where they are and hints that they're aware the Sussexes may have had a hand in creating the controversy. Usually when KP speaks to Americans, they do it through traditional mainstream press (the New York Times, Washington Post, NBC, ABC, etc.). They've never gone directly and personally to a Sussex/Meghan PR mouthpiece before.
(I don't count People as a Sussex-exclusive source because the BRF has used People long before Meghan came around. People takes stories from anyone with the money to pay them.)

WIP Wednesday
A big thank you to @corvineheart, who very gamely picked this snip for me to post today when I whined that I couldn't decide. <3 Operation Groundhog AU. Teeny bit of Ice and Mav in the beginning and then some Bradley today!
Penny Benjamin comes out of the Hard Deck eventually--and isn’t that just the weirdest fucking thing; Maverick hasn’t talked to her yet, he doesn’t really know what to say and isn’t sure what they’ve told her about a random Maverick and Iceman from 1986 wandering around--and chats with the Captain. Then she goes back in and comes out with a cooler of beer, and the team breaks to go fight over their preferred poison.
“Shitty domestic beer?” Ice asks, and Maverick flips him off.
“I’m good. Maybe there’s a Smirnoff lemon or something in there for you.”
Ice laughs, and leaves to go wade in. Maverick watches the madness for a moment and then turns to sit just outside the tide, watching the surf. It’s a nice moment--sun and sand and the smell of the sea; a bubble of quiet in a day that’s been just jam packed with people.
Maverick doesn’t look up when he hears the crunch of approaching footsteps.
“Hey,” Bradley says, and Maverick nearly jumps out of his skin. “Mind if I sit?”
Maverick looks up at him, eyebrows definitely at his hairline. “Sure! Don’t own the beach. Pull up some sand.” He reaches over and pats the shore next to him.
Bradley snorts, and sits, letting out a huff as he stretches his legs out. The water comes up to his ankles when the tide comes in, washing away some of the sand on his heels.
“Did you just groan?” Maverick asks, grinning. “What are you, thirty-five? Your bones bothering you already, Bradshaw?”
Bradley snorts. “Thirty-seven,” he says.
“Goddamn, you’re thirteen years older than me,” Maverick says. “That is weird.”
Bradley chuckles again. “You’re telling me,” he says, and turns back to the surf again.
Maverick watches him for a moment, hesitating--not sure what to say next. Finally, he sighs and turns back to the surf himself. This is kind of nice. Bradley’s been friendly enough, but he hasn’t really wanted to hang out, and Maverick’s been doing his best to temper his disappointment. This is already pretty nice.
“Hey, Maverick, can I ask you something?” Bradley asks, a bit out of the blue.
Maverick doesn’t let himself react any way but casually. “Sure, what’s up?”
Bradley’s mouth twists. “Bit of a weird question. What makes someone not cut out to be a pilot? Or at least, not ready?”
Maverick frowns. “This about Hangman’s bullshit?” he asks. “Because you’re a great pilot, Rooster. Only one here besides me and Ice who’ve even finished the course.”
Bradley huffs a laugh, a strange smile flitting over his face. “You heard the Captain,” he says. “Too slow’s still not good enough.”
Maverick shrugs. “Too slow means you’re dogfighting fighters your plane wasn’t built to match,” he agrees. “Those’re still better odds than a missile to the fuselage. Don’t take it personally, it’s his job to scare the shit out of us until we do better. He threw my old man and--” he cuts himself off.
“And mine,” Bradley says. “It’s alright.”
Maverick shuts his eyes. “Yeah,” he says. “My old man and Goose. Threw them in my face. That’s what that little song and dance about ‘your team is dead because you didn’t make the right call, you want to watch Ice’s family wonder what happened to their son as the rest of the world decides he’s a traitor’ was about. It’s his job! It’s not personal. Well.” He gives Bradley a grimace of a smile. “With me it might be a bit. You know. Weird situation.”
Bradley snorts again and shakes his head. “So what makes someone not cut out to be a pilot?” he asks again.
“Still don’t think that’s what that was about,” Maverick mutters, but he stops and thinks about it. “...Honestly… I… not having taken the licensing exam?”
Bradley cracks up.
“Hey,” Maverick says, and shoves him a bit. “You asked! I don’t know, I think anyone could probably learn to fly, really, and there’re actually really clear guidelines set out--”
Bradley snorts again. “Sure, Mav,” he says, and gets to his feet, still snickering. He holds a hand out. “Here, you want a beer?”
Maverick looks up at him, and then down at the hand. He takes it, lets Bradley haul him to his feet. “Sure,” he says, grinning. “Lead the way. I’ll see if I can come up with a better answer.”
“Don’t worry about it,” Bradley says. “I think maybe it’s the wrong question. Or the wrong person to ask.”
Maverick frowns. “If you say so,” he says slowly.
“I do,” Bradley says. “Let’s get that beer.”

Warnings: mentions of alcohol use, mentions underage drinking, absent parents

“Hey Ky, I thought you were staying with dad?” I ask hesitantly not wanting to provoke his anger that I’ve grown so accustomed to. “I wanted to finish school in person. It doenst matter, dads place sucked anyway.” His smile falls and his shoulders tense. “Oh okay, well I’m gonna go back to my room.” I shuffle out awkwardly. “Okay, later.”

Noah: lol of course, and you’re obviously welcome here anytime. I’ll come and pick you up anytime just say the word. 8:52
Natalie: my hero :) <3 ily
Noah: ily :)
We text back and for the rest of the night until I pass out on my bed. 
The next day Noah picks me up in the late afternoon so we can go to one of his shows together. Nick is in the back seat when I climb in the car. Greeting them both we drive off towards the venue they’re playing at for the night. Noah’s band has really picked up traction. He's put together a four member group of guys he’s found at other gigs, Nick is playing guitar and they have another guy Julius on drums and Mikey on Bass. They’re older and I don’t talk to them much. They’ve been asked to play in more bars and even some small venues. I can’t make all of them because of work but I try to go to as many as I can. It’s new territory for me. I’ve been to a lot of his shows over the summer but they're getting bigger and the crowd is rowdy. I have to stick to the back to not get overwhelmed but I’m happy to be there supporting Noah. 
The school year starts off strong. After a few weeks I’m managing my class work and work at the coffee shop pretty well. My AP classes are challenging but not impossible. Maggie from work is in my AP Econ class and it’s nice to have someone to study with. Sometimes Noah comes to surprise me at work. He'll order a drink and flirt with me the whole time I’m making it just to see how red he can make my face; those days he will wait until I’m off so he can drive me home. We’ll make out in the car until I have toI pry myself out before it gets too late. Noah and Kyle aren’t best friends by any means. They do their best to ignore each other in school and when Noah is picking me up or dropping me off but, that doesn’t stop him from making random comments here and there. 
“You came in pretty late last night, Noah hoping you flunk out completely and follow him around forever?” Kyle snips one morning as I’m making myself a bowl of cereal before catching the bus. “Since when is it your job to keep tabs on my comings and goings?” I say back to him “you don’t ever get any shit from me when you show up wasted on a school night. You know why?” I question. “Because I’m not mom or dad and neither are you, I can look out for myself just fine. But thanks for your concern” my voice is dripping with sarcasm. “Just be careful sis, he’s clearly more concerned with his own rockstar future than yours. Don’t throw your life away for some guy.” He finishes and I can almost hear genuine care in his voice. “You’ll end up just like mom.” With that I tense, my bowl of cereal placed down with more force than necessary, sending milk and Cheerios spilling over the side. “I am nothing like her.” I grab my backpack and sling it over my shoulder. “And I never will be.” I exit the house without looking back at Kyle and slam the door, heading for the bus. 
Noah has a Thursday night show out of town and is all but begging me to go “I can’t Noah, I wish I could but I have an Econ test Friday and a science project due” I sigh, knowing I’m letting him down. “This show is huge baby. There’s going to be a lot of people there that could really help me.” He’s holding my hand’s against his chest and I can feel his rapid heartbeat. “Having you there would mean everything to me. I promise I’ll get you home right after the show, you’ll be in bed sleeping, fully rested for your test.” He says with the sweetest smile. “I need my Natalie with me” he kisses me and my defense melt “okayyy, okay, I’ll go,” I concede. 
“Yes!” He picks me up triumphantly and spins me around making us both laugh “thank you Natty” he squeezes me in a hug “ugh I love you so much” I return his hug and sigh like a love sick fool “I love you too”. 
Thursday night rolls around and while I have last period free, Noah and Nick skip their last class so they can meet Julius and Mikey to make sound check. The venue is a little over an hour away and we make it there by 4:30 just minutes before he needs to be on for sound check. The night goes on without a hitch; Noah and Nick meet a lot of people and seem to make a lot of connections but time is slipping away. Suddenly it’s 11:30pm and I cant find either of them anywhere. I’m searching the dark and smokey venue and can’t see Noah’s towering figure anywhere. Quickly becoming overwhelmed with all the drunken patrons bumping into me, I decide to go wait outside on the curb for them to finish up. I take out my phone and text Noah that I’m waiting outside so they can find me when they’re done. Finally they finish up and I notice it’s already 12:20am. The car unlocks and I take a deep breath as I climb in, exhausted from the night.
I’m used to being fast asleep on a school night by this hour, so I’m having a hard time staying awake as Noah excitedly recounts the night “Natty, that was amazing I can’t believe it, we played so well. I think that guy from Nashville is going to offer us some recording space! Isn’t that awesome?!” I can barely keep my eyes open, let alone muster the energy to respond. I let out a soft “mmhm” in reply. “I’m sorry baby, I’ll get you home soon. Just close your eyes and we’ll be there before you know it.” 
There’s a massive pileup on the way home and with the sounds of the sirens mixed with the lights shining I don’t sleep at all. When we finally make it back to my house it's nearly 3am. I just about fall out of the car before Noah is able to throw it in park. As I open my door, he goes to exit with me, exasperatedly I turn back and tell him, “Don’t worry about it. I’m going straight to bed.” If I had the energy I would have slammed the door. He exits anyway and races after me apologizing “I’m sorry Natty, I know I said it wouldn't be late.” I stop before opening the front door and look at him with exhausted eyes “I know you didnt mean too Noah. Look, I’m too tired for this.” I sigh. “I just want to go sleep for the few hours I have left before my alarm goes off.” I open the door and stand in the doorway “I’ll see you tomorrow, okay?” I say to him, sleep the only thing on my mind. “Okay, love you Natty.” he responds and leans to press a kiss to the top of my head. “Mmhm, love you” I tell him, closing the door and locking it. I head upstairs and crash onto my bed, asleep instantly.
When I wake up the next morning I turn over in bed and look at my alarm clock. “OH FUCK!” I shriek. It’s 10am.
I missed my Econ exam.

You’re not the dom I want. I cant be with someone whos not ok with me being with anyone else, I don’t actually have any interest in submitting fully, I dont want to play with piss or have sex that makes me feel gross, and I definitely don’t want to be with someone that would view me as a toy without first recognizing my autonomy as their partner or teammate.
But there are specific things about you/your dom style that are very appealing to me. I like how you care for your girls like it’s your duty to protect them, I like how it seems you feel equally responsible for providing them with the enrichment (sadism) they need, I like that you seem to have a tendency to educate others (intentionally or not), and I like that you have visibility into every part of your girls lives.
Thank you for helping paint a clearer picture of what I need and want from a dom.
If you have any advice on how to further solidify that picture and possibly come to realize exactly what I want and need I would really appreciate it
It’s good to know what you don’t want, and even better to learn what you do. I’m proud of you.
I don’t know if I have any cogent advice, but I can summon some random thoughts about some of the attributes you’ve mentioned… but bear in mind that I’m not trying to dispute your conclusions. I’m just pondering.
RE: being with anyone else
It depends on the nature of the relationship. If I intend to fuck you or bind you to me in perpetuity, no, I won’t accept any kind of extracurricular “being”. (We keep it in the family, thanks.) But I see ownership in other terms as well… there are girls I own who —with permission— have other entanglements; some physical, some not. If everyone benefits and I’m not impeded… why not?
RE: without first recognizing my autonomy
If recognition is the important bit, that’s easy… I can’t take it away if I can’t see it. And from what I’ve seen, losing your independence is hotter when your independence has been actively exerised.
RE: duty to protect them
It’s a shepherd’s job to steer the flock out of harm’s way. Why would you do anything else? Who wants to leave their charges to the wolves?
RE: tendency to educate
I just think aloud. Or with a keyboard. I’m always teaching myself something as I talk. I’m often as surprised by the conclusion as anyone else.
RE: visibility into every part
I feel like this conflicts a lot with the “submitting fully” thing. I have a 360 degree view into their private worlds because I need one… they’ve given me the license to do as I please with their lives, and I’ll do more harm than good if I can’t see what I’m touching.
I’m not saying that an all-seeing, no-curtains, comprehensive-transparency-thing requires a concomitant loss-of-agency-thing. But they’re two great tastes that taste great together.
RE: thank you
You’re very welcome, nice person.

The way the MASH fandom tends to imagine the ages of the characters is fascinating to me. I keep seeing people referring to various main characters (except Potter and Radar) as “middle-aged”. While to my knowledge we do not have an exact age for any of the characters, I don’t think this assumption can be correct.
While references to character ages within the show are all over the place, in keeping with typically nonsensical MASH continuity, we do have concrete information from the cast on this. Alan Alda stated that Hawkeye is in his late 20s. This would make sense both for him and for BJ, Trapper, and all other assorted surgeons, given where they are in their professional and personal lives. The one exception to this would be Charles, who David Ogden Stiers mentioned was intended to be in his mid-30s, which would in turn make sense for Charles specifically, as he is clearly farther along in a surgeon’s career path than the others, he is the only doctor who has multiple specialties (thoracic and pediatric), and personality-wise he generally acts older than the other Swamp Rats.   Real life statistics back this up, as well! The age range of the draft at this time was 18 & 1/2 to 35. (Also, notably, those who served in WWII were exempted from taking part in the Korean War draft, which would be evidence that none of the men in the show besides Potter served in WWII, for what that’s worth.) And that range was heavily weighted toward the lower end. When the show makes a big deal about how young the soldiers they treat are, it’s being absolutely realistic: the average age of a Korean War soldier in 1950 was 19!
The character who most inspired this post, however, I don’t think anyone ever mentioned an age for at any point: Klinger. Almost without exception, I see people talk about Klinger with the assumption that he is the same age as the doctor characters. This has always confused me, because I see no reason that should be true! It makes sense that the doctors would skew quite above the average draftee age of 19 because of the age constraints of their profession, but there is absolutely no reason to assume that same skewing would apply to Klinger, a random enlisted person. 
In fact, there are several pieces of evidence in support of the idea of him being younger, perhaps 19-23. While he does call Radar “kid” a few times, implying he is older than him, they are also very close friends and Radar clearly does not treat him with the same “little sibling” attitude that he does Hawkeye & co. (Plus, Radar and Klinger are given equivalent places in the narrative constantly. In just about every other aspect, we are clearly meant to see them as having “equal status”, so why not in regards to age?)
There’s also the whole Laverne thing. The mere fact of his getting married makes him seem older to a modern audience, but we must remember that back in 1950, people tended to marry earlier than today. (Average age of marriage in 1950 was 20 for women, 23 for men.) Klinger says Laverne was his highschool sweetheart, and it’s implied that they’ve been together steadily since then. We know he very much WANTS to get married and have a family. Given the aforementioned cultural norms, if he’s even in his late 20s, it would be weird that he’s not already married before the show starts.  
Additionally, there’s his apparent position career-wise, which is: he does not have a career yet! He mentions a lot of summer jobs doing various different things, usually helping a family member’s business, which would make total sense for a college-age kid with no socioeconomic opportunity to actually go to college. Given how hardworking and eager to learn Klinger is (remember his multiple correspondence courses--another age-appropriate similarity with Radar), if he were middle-aged, he would surely already have a good blue-collar union profession. (Again, cultural norms: they had not yet invented the horror of the gig economy in the 50s lol.) 
This post is getting way too long, but I do feel quite passionate about this subject, especially with regards to Klinger. The fact that Radar’s age is such a huge part of his character, but Klinger is implicitly treated by the show, and thus seen by the fandom, as much older even though there’s no REASON for that..... It makes me think. Especially given the way youth of color are treated in both reality and fiction. Especially given how despicably the other characters treat him in late seasons, making fun of him for being incompetent and stupid. I know it’s really not that deep! But it just makes me think. 
(On a lighter note, I also think it’s useful to keep in mind the canonical age difference between a 32-34 year old Charles and his 26-29 year old roommates. And his age means he NEARLY aged out of draft eligibility, too!)
(”Where does Margaret come into this?” you ask. I’m honestly not sure! I don’t recall any canonical statement of her age either, in-universe or out. It’s important to note, though, that the average age of nurses was definitely higher than that of the male draftees. I couldn’t find data for Korea specifically, but during WWII, the age requirements for the army nurse corps were 21-40, later 21-45. Again, these are medical professionals, so this increased age makes sense. (And the show actually gives us some older nurse characters!) It makes sense for Margaret to be on the higher end of this spectrum, given her high rank and status, but not super high, given that she’s highly skilled and extremely ambitious.)
But beyond individual characters, I wish the age thing were more concrete and acknowledged, just for the sake of the whole tone of the show! I really wish they’d gone out of their way to portray the truth: that aside from the medical professionals, the average age of the enlisted men at the 4077th should be nineteen years old. That all of their patients really are just babies to these doctors (and to the older nurses as well!). It would really help drive home some of the points the series tried so hard to make.

Okay, hold on because this?
Tumblr media
You’re spitting nothing but facts. I’ve said this exact same thing on both of my previous blogs (not this one, not yet xmdkxkdnd) about how x reader just was not a thing in Ye Fandom of Olde. I don’t know if people really believe me or if I just sound like a hunch backed crone standing on her front porch waving her cane at the neighborhood kids, yelling at them to appreciate what they’ve got because back in my day … but it really was such an incredibly different landscape. There are certain aspects of it that I miss for sure and others I’m glad to leave in the past.
The completely random conversations between the author and the character(s) among them, GOD, the way that still activates every single one of my cringe reflexes. 😂 Actually my all time favorite fic had those for the first dozen or so chapters, but she thankfully left them in the fore and afterword, not haphazardly placed in the fic itself, so it was easy to ignore haha. I can laugh at it and maybe even look back at it fondly, but I don’t think I want that particular trend to make a comeback any time soon xmxmdnd
It’s kind of surreal in a way, finding someone who knows exactly what I’m talking about and sharing that mutual experience. I know there have to be more of us out there but I feel like a good chunk of them have probably moved on from anime fandom content so I’m very glad to have found you like this. 💕
I unfortunately got busy with one of my own projects yesterday and didn’t get a chance to read anymore of your stuff, but I’m really looking forward to diving in once I’m done. When I tell you I am 👀 eyeballing the hell out of your Sesshomaru fics cmdkxmdmd
Also, if I may ask, are you by any chance a fan of Yu Yu Hakusho? 🥹
"I don’t know if people really believe me or if I just sound like a hunch backed crone standing on her front porch waving her cane at the neighborhood kids, yelling at them to appreciate what they’ve got because back in my day … but it really was such an incredibly different landscape."
We can both be crones, in that case! But no, I completely get what you're saying. It was SO different. I am genuinely appreciative of the fact that "reader fic" is so popular and the distaste I see for it is mainly "it's clogging up the regular tags" rather than the absolute nastiness that used to be associated with any OCs or inkling of "hey I like these characters, wouldn't it be neat if they wanted me?"
OCs in general were considered taboo enough, but reader fic was just… not a "thing" back in the early 2000s, really, not in the style we know it today. When second person was used, it was usaully meant to be stylized (rather than today where the intent of second person is "reader fic," to pull the reader into the story in a different, visceral way) and second person fics would fall into the OC bucket.
Gosh on that note, I remember "Mary Sue Hunter" groups that would find any OCs on ye olde fanfiction.net and leave reviews with forms to determine how much of a "Mary Sue" someone's OC was.
If you were going to attempt an OC, it felt like you had to make them Super Super Boring and Normal and Ordinary and No Actual Characters Ever Fell in Love with Them (except maybe non-important side characters) in order to get people to leave you alone.
Not that there's anything wrong with writing characters who are ordinary but it rarely felt it was an organic decision from the authors, but rather a reflection of what was "okay" to write.
Fandom is so different now. As you said, there's some things I miss ("don't like, don't read" and "you're responsible for what you read" being the standard etiquette, for one...) but plenty that I don't, too.
Also, if I may ask, are you by any chance a fan of Yu Yu Hakusho?
Yessss. I love it. I have so many discarded OCs from my teenage years from YYH, they were all ridiculously self-indulgent ofc. I do want to at some point write a few yandere YYH characters, but I haven't gotten any inspiration for it yet.

Do you give the slightest bit of a fuck about the “Valentino DNI” pages, besides mockery? Admittedly, I’d breach their DNI and see what they can do about it. Probably whine.
Well. I can’t blame people for having no taste (I can).
This brings me to wonder, does it bother you when identities/personalities with such glaring symptoms of mental conditions get dogpiled? Does it remind you a lot of the kind of shit others say about your condition? Does it annoy you because it’s plain stupid, or does it run deeper?
Feel free to give me an essay.
—- 💠
I don’t give a fuck about DNIs . I mean, I’ve never been inclined to want to have a genuine reaction with anyone like this, and if I was trying to provoke someone, being on their DNI would only make it more fun . Bitches breech their own DNIs constantly . I swear many people just have them to show that they don’t “ support ” certain actions .
Aside from finding it funny, I can’t say I tend to give a fuck . It’s usually some “ wahhh, rape ” shit that I don’t . . . really care about ? I guess they tend to like Angel or whatever ? It’s funny because I sincerely don’t think Angel would want to be babied the way they tend to anyway ! He’s not your little baby ? If someone raped someone I was allied with, I’d be far more critical of them than I would be of some random bitch on the streets ? Then again, I’d be far MORE hostile if they were killed, and these bitches so often seem to like murderers . I don’t really understand . . . why ? It doesn’t necessarily bother me, but I find it stupid and honestly confusing . I really don’t think this is a personal trigger thing either, judging by the way they talk about this shit . . .
What does irritate me, though, is when it comes from the pathetic fucking Vox and / or Vel “ fans ” who are desperate to pretend that that those two are morally superior . I don’t care about morality, and I wouldn’t care if they were morally superior . I just hate the fact that they blatantly MAKE SHIT UP in order to justify this stance ?
“ Do you think Vox knows about Angel ? ”
“ Velvette is sweet and just seems sassy, what is she doing there ? ”
ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID ! ?
It’s fine to like or dislike whoever the fuck you like or dislike, but I hate when they have to make false moral justifications for that . JUST SAY YOU WANT TO FUCK A TELEVISION ? I get it . SAY YOU ONLY LIKE WOMEN ? It’s FINE ?
I’ve seen a couple of bitches claiming to be Vox, or claiming to relate to / feel a connection to him very deeply ( the “ I’m VOX IRL ”, “ he’s literally me ” bitches ), who start with their “ Valentino DNI ” bullshit and THAT pisses me off . . . I think it’s the mischaracterization that bothers me . I don’t even want to think about him saying the stupid shit they come out with, AND HE JUST WOULDN’T ?
Vox and Vel aren’t your sweet little babies . You can like them all you want, but that won’t actually change how they are . If they were pathetic little bitches, you probably wouldn’t like them as much, actually . If everyone acted how you wanted them to, you’d be bored . . . “ Valentino hate ” aside, what I really don’t understand is hating the fans of something / someone that keeps shit interesting and keeps the stakes high ? Plenty of these bitches like the “ angst ”, but they . . . hate people who can appreciate a source of that in . . . any capacity ?
That said, I’m kind of glad these bitches shit themselves when they come across anything they view as immoral in a sexual context in comparison to in any other context, despite not seeming to have any reason to aside from personal discomfort . . . I’ve seen some of the “ Vox my pathetic prince ” shit . It’s HILARIOUS until you realize that they’re . . . not exactly joking ? I’ve seen the same show they’ve seen, and . . . I was right to assume that fandoms who engage in this whole babification and pathetification thing aren’t simply fans of the most pathetic bitches alive . They just like speaking as if they are FOR SOME REASON ?
I WOULD HATE GETTING THIS TREATMENT ! ?
It’s way worse than the hatred !
I think that the way people talk about character traits that are symptoms of documented conditions can be insightful . . . It can be a way to explore the way these feelings and traits are received without having to choose to express express them that openly yourself ? That said, I think there are certain traits ( especially traits of NPD and ASPD ! ) that everyone fucking adores ON SCREEN . I’ve come across bitches who claim to love LITERAL SYMPTOMS and go so far as to claim that claim that whoever the fuck they’re talking about would love them in real life, but then they turn around and call those who have the disorder / symptoms they’re fetishizing awful and abusive .
Just . . . admit you only like being entertained by these traits in a way you don’t actually have to engage with ? I don’t see why they constantly feel the need to misrepresent and lie about this shit .
Do they really lack that much self — awareness ?
One thing that’s a lot more insightful to me is the fandom’s headcanons and armchair diagnoses .
This isn’t strictly a “ Hazbin Hotel ” thing either ! TikTok has woobified BPD into some pathetic, needy little bitch disorder ( where the symptoms are apparently just crying and whining all the fucking time, believing everyone else is above you, having an anxious attachment style and overall just living life as a perpetual victim ) in the eyes of many . . . I DON’T THINK THESE BITCHES WOULD WANT TO KNOW WHAT I DID TO GET TOLD BY A THERAPIST I PROBABLY HAVE BPD .
You can get the most BPD — coded bitch in existence, put them on TV, aaand they’ll only be widely accepted by the fans as being BPD — coded if they’re generally liked or seen as sympathetic . THAT’S . . . NOT PART OF THE CRITERIA FOR A PERSONALITY DISORDER ?
Show me the most NPD — coded bitch in existence, put them on TV too, and I can guarantee that so many of their “ fans ” will adore them and call them complex and misunderstood and then turn around and use the term “ narcissist ” when they just mean “ abuser ” in real life . . .
Show me a violent, sadistic, or murderous character being portrayed with few actual ASPD traits, or far more obvious traits of a different disorder, aaand the fandom is going to be debating whether or not they are a “ psychopath ” or a “ sociopath ”, but if they consume a piece of media wherein someone has obvious ASPD traits without being a violent criminal, I can bet they will just be called autistic !
I think a lot of it would bother me more if I had a strong desire to be liked in a typical, humane way or seen as morally okay, but I just . . . don’t, personally . Occasionally, if I’m already feeling . . . touchy, some of the “ everyone should leave Valentino, he doesn’t deserve any happiness ” shit, specifically, feels . . . unpleasant to read ? It’s not really anything compared to the shit on Quora and Reddit about people who think, feel, and act how I do though . It can be a final straw, but . . . it typically doesn’t carry much weight beyond reminding me of the shit that does .
Also, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but just because you had a rude ex or got touched up once, that doesn’t mean that the shit you protect onto Angel Dust is actually how he would think / feel .

001 The Simpsons!
Favorite character: Of course it’s Lisa Simpson. 🤣 When I first started watching The Simpsons, I was really intrigued by her character, and she grew to be my favorite character ever!
Least Favorite character: It would have to be Elizabeth Hoover. Lisa’s teacher at Springfield Elementary School. I just never liked the woman, at least with Edna Krabappel, who seemed like she didn’t like Bart. The thing was, she did actually care about her students and Bart, unlike Miss Hoover, who really doesn’t give a rat’s ass about any of them and has actually bullied an 8-year-old just because she felt like Lisa was a show-off. (Granted, Lisa can be a little full of herself at times, but she’s just a kid, and Miss Hoover is an adult who has personal issues and is taking them out on a little girl.) (Hehehe, I really info dump when it comes to a character I don’t like lol.)
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Lisa and Jessica are my OTP forever and ever! And I could go on all day about why I love them, but then I wouldn’t be able to talk about any other ship lol. I like to ship Lisa with the twin weasels ( I affectionately call them this and like to think Lisa does too 😂), Sherri, and Terri Mackleberry in a polycule V-type relationship (no incest), with Lisa as the hinge. (It probably goes without saying that I also ship the twins’ separately with Lisa too, and it’s usually Sherri. 😆) third pairing (yes, we are counting the twins’ as just the second ship, okay? They’re a unit right now, so I can say more ships,😂) would be Lisa and Allison. I love to think that if they had stayed very close friends, it would have turned into a friends-to-lovers situation, and I just think their relationship would be very cute and sweet, and they would grow old together. And my fourth pair I fancy is Lisa Simpson and Francine Rhenquist... You all are probably noticing a pattern... And you’re right because I have a thing—a thing for shipping Lisa with bullies... I just think she can be a bully whisperer and tamer, okay?! 🤣 And now, last but not least, my final and fifth pairing is Allison Taylor and Hubert Wong. I just think these two are too cute for each other! And they are just two cute little nerds in love. (Shout out to my sister @twisting-echo for getting me into shipping these two nerds).
Character I find most attractive: Groundskeeper Willie hands down! Have you seen that man without his shirt on? Absolutely beautiful~ 
Tumblr media
Character(s) I would marry: Kang and Kodos, two one-eyed aliens, just for little ol’ me lol. 🤣💕💕💕
Character I would be best friends with: Professor Frink. I always loved his character and his zany antics.
A random thought: I once had a random thought about making a fic where it would be an AU where everyone had animal-like features, and I had wanted the whole Simpsons’ family to be cats. 😅🤣
An unpopular opinion: Oh, boy, here it goes... My unpopular opinion is that I really haven’t liked how they have written Marge in the newer seasons of The Simpsons. Just some of the storylines they do for her feel like they’ve done it a thousand times before, and it’s gotten old. And I have never liked how they have made it so that Homer has no problems bonding with his daughters, especially Lisa, but nothing with Bart. The same goes for Marge. I never like how in some episodes she can’t bond with her daughter, but honestly, it’s the writing overall because they always make either Lisa an asshole to her own mother or Marge is the asshole. Just why can’t they have cute bonding episodes for the whole family like what I’ve seen in Bob’s Burgers? 😭
My canon OTP: I wouldn’t say OTP, but I had always thought Comic Book Guy and Kumiko’s relationship was surprisingly cute and sweet. 
Non-canon OTP: This wouldn’t be me if I didn’t say it was Lisa and Jessica, now would it? Yessss, they’re my little babies! This ship is very dear to me; it’s been my OTP for years. 🤣💕💕💕
Most badass character: Gina Vendetti. I love her and think she’s a little badass. I also love to ship her with Bart. She’s his scary Amazon girlfriend who terrifies everyone around her lol.
Pairing I am not a fan of: Milhouse and Lisa; just no, I have never thought they worked well together ever! It's just sad to see him pine for someone who does not like him at all. Seriously, it was a running joke that Lisa settled for him, and that’s just sad. Millhouse deserves someone who actually cares and will love him, and Lisa needs to be with someone she’s not settling with because it’s all she’s ever known, and she knows he won’t leave her because he loves her too much and it’s just not healthy or fair to either one of them. (I love my girl, but she has to let him go so he can move on).
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I have never liked the slow decent at which they have taken Lisa’s character in how the show writes her. Back when the show first came out, she was intelligent, kind, and passionate about the planet and all living things. Mind you, she is still very intelligent, but they have taken some parts of her personality and turned it up to an 180. She is flawed, which is why I love her, but over the years, they have made her more of a snotty brat at times who throws her intelligence in people’s faces, and it doesn’t seem like she’s that kind anymore, and most of what she rebels against feels performative and hollow now. She could always be somewhat intolerant of opinions that differed from her own, often refusing to consider alternative perspectives and showing a feeling of self-righteousness. But it feels like that’s how she is all the time now, and I just haven’t been a big fan of what her character has become.
Favourite friendship: Now I’m going to completely talk about a “fanon” friendship since The Simpsons didn’t give me it in the canon of the show. I mean, sure, I could talk about Millhouse and Bart’s friendship, but sadly, while I like it, it is not my favorite, and the truth is, sometimes they abused each other more than they were good friends with each other lol. 😂😅 No, I’m going to talk about a friendship between Lisa Simpson, Allison Taylor, and Hubert Wong. I always thought it would have been nice for Lisa to at least have someone who was her friend in the show, someone she could bond with, just like Bart with Millhouse. But no, they have always made her a loner just for the sake of writing that not a lot of people like her in Springfield (poor baby, 😭) and they wasted the potential of Lisa and Allison’s friendship. In the show, they always show Lisa as a miserable adult who’s so bitter about everything. I like to think she would have grown up a little differently if she had at least one consistent friend (not Janey; Janey was just as bad as the twins’ with the way they bullied Lisa). And honestly, it would have been nice to see her hang out with two other people who shared similar interests as she did, and it just would have been cute. I definitely have more things to say about their friendship, my sister and I have made up in fanon over the years, but that’s definitely for a different post lol.
I’m so sorry that this is soooo long. 😂 Once you get me started on the Simpsons, I can’t stop rambling like a mad woman about it. 🤣 Thank you so much for this ask. This was so much fun to write out.

Shockingly, there are very few things to do in an ancient Altean castleship.
Well, that’s not quite true. Objectively, there’s a ton of shit to do. But there’s no, like, wifi or anything, so for Hunk, there’s very little in way of entertainment. His options are basically tinkering or tinkering with food. And he’s spent most of the day working on his real-life lightsaber (he’s got one that’s pretty much up and working, so he’s working on a second, now, because what’s the point of only one lightsaber?), so now he’s spending some time in the kitchens.
As he stirs some basil-like spice into a broth, he hears heavy stomping coming his way. He pauses, quickly trying to figure out who it is on sound alone. (It’s a fun little game he plays. He used to be a lot worse at it, but they’ve been in space with only each other long enough that he’s pretty decent, nowadays.)
Stomping usually means it’s Pidge, but these footsteps are a bit heavier than hers, as if it’s someone bigger. Allura tends to stomp when she’s angry, as well, but then there’s no rapid footsteps of someone running away from her in terror, so that’s a bust, too. It’s not Lance — Lance is completely silent when he walks, even when he’s mad, because he is a goober who thinks it’s funny to scare people when he spawns into a room. It’s not Coran, either, because there’s no characteristic click of his heeled boot or lively whistling to accompany the sound. And it can’t be Shiro, either, because not only has Hunk never heard him stomp, but Shiro’s arm always gives off a faint hum that you can hear just before you see him.
That leaves Keith. An angry Keith, at that, because usually Keith steps as quietly as Lance.
Hunk smiles as he continues stirring the broth. He can handle an angry Keith. Even if Keith doesn’t think he deserves it. Hunk will make sure he’s cared for properly.
Keith makes a noise of frustration when he enters the kitchen and sees Hunk already there.
“Why does every room on this stupid fucking castle have another person in it,” he growls.
Hunk shrugs. He knows the real answer to that question — if Keith really wanted to be alone, he’d go to his room, or even a random broom closet. The castle has thousands of rooms, and there are only seven people living on it. Keith is coming to the kitchen because, whether he knows it or not, he wants company. He just doesn’t want to admit it.
Like a cat, one might say.
(In his head, of course. If Hunk said that out loud, Keith might actually claw him.
…You know. Also like a cat.
Heh.)
“Odd,” Hunk says instead. “Sorry to hear that. Do you want some soup?”
“I don’t want any fucking soup,” Keith snaps. Hunk turns to look at him, eyebrows raised. He stares at him, unblinking, until Keith slumps forward, resting his forehead on the table with a sigh.
“Sorry,” he mutters. “I’m just… mad, for no reason. I shouldn’t’ve yelled at you.”
“Apology accepted,” Hunk says, scooping some soup into a mug. He figures if Keith really doesn’t want it, he can just leave it.
He sits next to Keith at the table, setting the mug on the table and patting the red paladin’s head delicately.
“What’s up, bud? Overwhelmed?”
Keith nods, but doesn’t lift his head up.
“Ah,” Hunk says, moving his hand. “Probably don’t want to be touched, then.”
“Mmph,” Keith says, and then grapples for Hunk’s hand without looking. Hunk let’s him, amused. When Keith finally grabs a hold of it — and Hunk has to help by moving a little closer — he puts the hand back on his head. “Not that kind of overwhelmed. Everything is just — mean. In my head. Anxious, or whatever.”
As soon as it clicks, Hunk softens. He begins carding his hands through Keith’s hair, which seems to be the right thing to do.
“I see,” he says gently. “That sucks. I get that all the time.”
Keith lets out a deep, heavy breath. “What do you do?”
“Finds someone to sit with. Looks like you’ve already done that, though.”
“Then what?”
“Have them talk to me. It’s nice, hearing someone else’s voice. Makes things less lonely, quiets the voice in my own head.”
“…Can you do that for me?”
Hunk reaches forward with his free hand and squeezes Keith’s shoulder.
“Sure thing, buddy.”
He starts talking — random, unconnected things at first — and eventually launches into a stupid story about something he and Lance did when they were little, some precarious situation Mrs. McClain invariably had to save them from.
“You talk about Lance a lot,” Keith says after Hunk finishes. He’s finally managed to shift around a little, crossing his arms on the table under his head, and moving to face Hunk. “He talks about you, too.”
“Mhm. I can imagine. We grew up together, so most of the dumb shit we got into we did together.”
Keith cracks a smile. “Let me guess — all Lance’s ideas?”
“I would love to put the blame on Lance. Unfortunately, I am also a dumbass.”
Hunk’s tease is rewarded with Keith’s raspy laughter.
“I guess I can see that. You do like to tell people exactly what you think.”
“Yeah. You feeling better, buddy?”
Keith nods. “I am, actually. It’s never gone away this fast. Thank you, Hunk.”
“Anytime, dude.” Hunk nudges the half-forgotten mug into Keith’s vision. “Drink that. Then you’re coming with me.”
“Where are we going?” Keith asks, dutifully chugging the contents.
“Well,” Hunk says, standing and stretching, “I’ve been working on this little project. I think you might be interested. You ever wondered if lightsabers could be real?”
They’ve been in space for roughly two years, now.
Hunk has never seen Keith perk up so fast.
“Uh, yeah! Every single day! Let’s go! Woah, do you think we could have a lightsaber fight? That’s be awesome!”
Keith nearly runs out of the kitchen, energy restored. Hunk grins.
Looks like there’s lots to do, after all.

Delinquent Manager
Shiratorizawa and Inarizaki
Requested: Anon
Request: Hi!! Can you do headcannons for shiratorizawa and inarizaki with a manager kind of the delinquent type? For more context: manager is the type of person to have fights with random thugs on the street at night so her knuckles are always bandaged, they're also the type of person to hang out with other delinquents too
Warning: Fighting, Delinquent behaviour???
Shiratorizawa
🦅 You were one of the few students who lived close enough that you didn’t need to live on campus, though the team did realise that you didn’t seem to have any friends apart from them. 🦅 They had no idea until you were late for morning practice for the first time, you came in with bandaged fists and if they could see your body they’d see bruises littering it. 🦅 You never actually had a fight on the school grounds so they were all a little confused but Semi was the only one to voice that.
“There you are! Where have you been?” Tendo asked as you walked into the gym, you waved your hand at him as Semi who was standing next to you caught your wrist. “Why are your hands all bandaged up?” Semi asked. “Someone ran into my fist.” You mumbled as you got out the stuff that you needed to talk them through their next couple of practice matches. “Someone ran into your fist?” Semi asked. “Did they not see you?” Ushijima asked, the fact that you knew he wasn’t joking was what ultimately broke you, you laughed as you looked at all of them. “Don’t worry it was just an altercation on the way home yesterday after practice, I had to teach someone a lesson.” “Teach someone a lesson?” Goshiki was the one to ask this time. “I punched someone in the face.” You finally said and they all looked at you with varying degrees of shock and pride. “Wow, didn't know you had it in you.” Tendo wrapped an arm around your shoulder as he turned both of you to look at the rest of the team. “Yeah, yeah now let's get back to training.” You ordered them all off.
🦅 Tendo would often ask you to bandage his fingers for him, mostly because he didn’t want to do it himself. 🦅 You always had a heat pack or cool pack in your bag for any injury. 🦅 As you got to know the team more you stood up for them more people who said anything about Tendo usually ended up on the ass. 🦅 You hyped up Goshiki, calmed down Shirabu and Semi on a number of different occasions and when insults went straight over Ushijima’s head you got angry for him. 🦅 They’ve had to hold you back on a few times when they played matches at other schools however there was one time that they were all blind sided and it was at a match with Aoba Josai.
“What the hell are you doing here?” You recognised that voice, the grumpy hostility was familiar to you. Kyotani. “What’s it to you?” You asked as you turned to look at him. Your team was on edge the moment that you started talking to him. “You don’t own this place.” “Excuse me?” He asked, they all noticed the way that his hand curl into fists. “Oh if it isn’t Shiratorizawa’s manager.” Oikawa teased as he walked over. “You answer to this idiot now?” You asked. “Not really.” Kyotani answered. “I didn’t think so.” You smirked and he rolled his eyes, both of you lifting your fists and bumping your arms together in greeting before finally letting a smile grace your features. “Let's make this a little more interesting, yeah?” “What are you thinking?” He asked. “Well all you have to do is stop Ushijima’s serve and you can have whatever you want.” You suggested. “And if I lose?” He asked. “If you lose then you’ll be my partner in my next fight.” You said and he smirked as he looked at the court where Ushijima was warming up. “Deal.” He said putting his hand out for you to shake, you shook his hand. “Why would you give the kid such an impossible task?” Tendo asked and you looked at him and rolled his eyes. “It’s not impossible, he’s just not going to do it today.” You mumbled as you stretched your arms “not go and warm up, you’ve got physic powers to use.” “Yes ma’am.” He smirked. “Don’t call me that!” You called after him. “Fine, how does little delinquent sound?” He asked. “Better now get going.” You ordered.
🦅 Overall you were pretty good at hiding what you got up to outside of school because you’d be thrown out if anyone found out. 🦅 The boys were on the most part good at keeping your secret though sometimes even you let it slip.
Tumblr media
Inarizaki
🦊 The signs were there from the moment you joined as their manager but they all messed them, they were either to dumb to figure it out (Atsumu) or honestly didn’t care (Suna, Osamu). 🦊 Kita was rarely there when things happened but he would always see the best in you no matter what he saw you do. You were just a young trouble maker to him. 🦊 Aran might have been the only one that actually figured out what was going on with you but he never asked though. 🦊 You would often be one of the most common reasons for the twins fighting because most of the time they had managed to get on your nerves beforehand, you would tell one of them that the other had said something about them and fighting would ensue.
Atsumu had decided to be particularly annoying that day and argue with literally everything that you said so that was why you were sitting next to Osamu who was tying his shoes “you know I heard you brother saying somethings, you better go sort him out otherwise people are going to start thinking he’s the better twin.” You teased, you saw Osamu’s hands freeze before he looked at you. “What are you talking about?” Osamu asked. “I think he’s claiming to be the best cook around or something. Some girl saw his lunch. I assume you must have made it.” You watched him stand and walked over to his brother who was in fact talking to some girl, the fighting that followed was loud and Kita eventually came over to stop them.
🦊 Suna recorded the fight which you watched later and then gave them both pointers on how to fight better, you had to literally teach Atsumu how to punch properly. 🦊 Honestly don’t know how they didn’t get it from that alone. 🦊 One day at practice Suna ended up getting hit in the fact pretty bad and his eyebrow split but you were the one that patched him up, they were all confused as to why you were able to do all of that. 🦊 They asked how you knew how to do that and you told them life experience and still none of them connected the dots. 🦊 You tried to keep you personal life away from them but there were times when it crossed over, mostly when you met other schools in practice matches or actual games and Aran would almost always be pulling you away from whatever fight someone else had started. 🦊 There was however one time that you were all walking back from a restaurant when you were cornered by some thugs.
“There you are! We thought that you were avoiding us or something.” He smirked as you looked at him and you rolled your eyes, you dropped your bag to the floor before tying your hair up, next to go was your blazer. “Hey (Y/N) what’cha doin’?” Atsumu asked. “Don’t worry about it.” You answered, taking the knuckle dusters out of your jacket pocket before dropping it to the floor. “How have we never found those in there?” You heard Atsumu whisper and you just chuckle before diving forward and attacking the guy closest to you. They watched as you effortlessly took out the first guy who seemed too big for you to take down on your own. They watched as the men fell one by one, you didn’t come away unscathed but everytime they stepped forward to help, you told them not to so they waited for you to be done and when you were they rushed over checking you over properly. “Are you okay?” Kita asked as he turned your head to get a better look at the injury there, he seemed to relax when he saw that all the injuries were relatively simple fixes. “Nothing too bad, we just need to wrap your knuckles and put a plaster over your eyebrow.” “Oh don’t worry about that, I can do that when I get home.” You waved them off but Atsumu was the one to catch your wrists and swiftly wrap your hands while Kita put a plaster on your forehead. They all insisted on walking you home that night before going home themselves but demanded an explanation as they did and honestly they all wondered how they had managed to let it slip past them for so long.

Finn and Damian secret dating au where they’ve almost been caught a million times but somehow they always manage to find some kind of excuse or something so no one figures it out and they constantly find random excuses so they can be alone together and it’s all going well until finn has a noticeable hickey on his neck and rhea immediately puts everything together and rushes to Damian to yell at him for not telling her sooner .. also before the secrets out a little bit of jealous finn and or jealous Damian would be 🙏🙏 because I read the two parts of the other Damian and finn one and just something about jealousy really is something else but obviously you don’t have to you are the writer and I trust ur vision completely 🫡🙏

Each section will have some meanings of the card mentioned in each respective chapter title, with the more relevant meanings highlighted. This is NOT meant to be in any way comprehensive on tarot and any meanings therein.
Warnings for this section: Dirty talk, begging, teasing, hair pulling, jealousy, choking

Tryst Of Fate (Part 1/3): The Devil
Temptation, seduction, materialism / Freedom, lack of will, resentment
It was having to come up with excuses to leave the group, just the two of them-
No, no, it was having to restrain himself during and right after tag-team and group matches. That was definitely the most difficult part of being in a secret relationship with Damian, Finn had decided.
Every match - without fail - it took every ounce of willpower he had not to check out Damian when he was dripping with sweat, muscles flexing with every move, dominating the ring. As much as he tried not to, Finn would still catch himself licking his lips when he failed to shift his gaze away from Damian. His boyfriend’s body was irresistible and Finn was constantly reminding himself to show restraint.
When the two of them would win a tag match together, they celebrated in public as platonically as possible - saving their real celebration until the moment they were alone.
���Please dear god take me now,” Finn begged, throwing himself at Damian the second the rest of the group had left the locker room, “I need you so badly.”
“I can tell, lindo,” Damian chuckled, hand grazing the bulge that was stretching his boyfriend’s already-tight pants to their limit, “Y no solo porque dijiste “we need to go over tonight’s match so we can do better next time” - whining softly at Damian’s touch, Finn gripped the taller man’s vest as he continued - “like we haven’t already used that excuse before. You’re lucky no one offered to help.”
“You know I’m no good at excuses,” Finn blushed, looking up into Damian’s deep brown eyes, “Can’t we just tell people?”
“And risk dividing the group?” - Damian caressed his boyfriend’s face, rubbing a thumb over his rough stubble as he kept talking - “Making our enemies think we have more weak spots because the members of The Judgment Day are too focused on each other to keep our guard up?” his hand travelled slowly to the back of Finn’s head before gripping him roughly by his hair, “Besides, I thought you liked being my dirty little secret.”
Finn moaned softly, considering Damian’s argument before angling for a compromise.
“How about just one person, then? JD would understand-“
“JD?” Damian let go of Finn as he scoffed, “Why do you want to tell him? Why is he the first person you think of?”
Adjusting his pants, Finn took in Damian’s irritated demeanor before chuckling, “Is the Archer of Infamy… jealous?”
“Should I be?” Damian growled, searching the other man’s face carefully.
“Of course not!” Finn gently laid a hand on Damian’s chest, “You don’t have to worry about anyone else.”
“Dime porque, príncipe,” Damian ordered, voice growing sultry as he moved closer.
Finn gently planted a kiss on Damian’s neck before answering, “Because I’m yours, Cupid.”
“Ay, no,” Damian groaned, pulling away and turning around, “I told you I hate that cheesy nickname.”
“Only because it makes you blush,” came the sing-song reply behind him. Finn particularly enjoyed the fact that he was the only person who could make his boyfriend blush.
“Cállate,” Damian growled, whipping around and wrapping one hand around Finn’s scruffy neck, “I can think of better ways you can use that mouth, lindo.”
The door suddenly swung open, and Finn’s heart raced as he watched JD McDonagh walk into the locker room.
“Hey, I-“ JD stopped in his tracks when he saw Damian holding up a completely red-faced Finn by his throat, “South of Heaven?“ - JD’s voice took on a concerned tone - “Are the two of you practicing moves on each other? You have a match next week!”
Muttering something unintelligible in an irritated tone, Damian carefully let go of Finn - who was thanking his lucky stars that it had been JD walking in.
Had it been someone more perceptive, they might have noticed that Damian was doing his best to block Finn’s hard-on from view.
“If you really need to practice on someone,” JD continued, dramatically throwing off his vest, “Consider me your sparring partner.”
Damian sighed, massaging his temples as he seemed to search for some semblance of patience before whispering only loud enough for Finn to hear, “Someone always offers to help.”

Ok 😅sorry . It's my fault . So rarely used word the taboo , i wrote wrongly . So , the Hogwarts Legacy now lot artists favorite now , painters/writers and i love it . Im reading a lot on AO3 and i dont understand why they why missing from every fanfiction the the "consequence of free love" . Realist , i know but would be huge turn in one story . Only Tamayula drawed Sebastian and Ominis as fathers . One guy shocked on me bec "they're minors" as he said.....yeah 😄they are who's kills , they do threesome or just traditionally (with MC) . They already wrote alrernative universes , same way they do everything...and there is the unspoken baby shield . The MC is a strong wich , only she can use anchient magic . Sebastian and Ominis too camed from strong / talented family . Their child could be more special , stronger bloodline . With the pregnancy whould came the interesting questions : Which one the father , when , how she'll hide from everyone in the 6th year, with illusion charm ? So thatswhy i asked ,why taboo the pregnancy subject for every artist if the "very detailed lovemaking" not shame ? 🥲
I never knew I couldn’t put community label on a ask… so… Warning: NSFW (talking smutty stuff)
You are perfectly fine! Thank you for more context, I think I understand your question more clearly now and oh boy— this is gonna be a long response
Now I wanna point out that I haven’t really read any actual full blown fanfics, at least ones that include underage smut as you’ve mentioned. The closet I’ve ever gotten was one shots and that’s it. I’m not a fanfic writer myself, I’ve only written some random head canons.
BUT! I have drawn somewhat naughty things, although not as smutty as what I’ve seen other artists do 👀 I do have a couple of… some… I guess you could call “teasing” artworks and I will do more but anyways that’s besides the point—
What I get from your ask is: Why don’t artists ever talk about the consequences after these smutty scenes? (Please correct me if I’m wrong)
Which is a fair question! You know if we are talking canon, this is late 1800’s we are talking about. They didn’t have a plan B or a healthy way to abort a pregnancy. But also there is the factor that there’s only a CHANCE you get pregnant. Now unless they’ve written in there fic like 6 smut scenes then yeah— it is a bit unrealistic unless the character is someone who actually can’t conceive any children (which would be so sad and angsty ngl)
Back then having intercourse before marriage was considered a sin, they believed that sex was gate kept by married people only. So… why not have one of the boys ask MC to marry her? Well you see… back then it was very common for young women and in this case girls to marry… but the man had to be 21 or older legally if they wanted to marry someone younger. So the boys can’t marry MC while they’re still in school.
Now, back to the question. Why don’t artists talk about the pregnancy? The truth is, it would probably impact the story in a negative way. Meaning that if MC has a child at 16, then she basically has a ball and chain on her ankle because she was seen as a widow (and many other words) which was seen as a HUGE red flag to others way back then. And the boys can’t do anything about her reputation… they basically just ruined it by making her pregnant before marriage.
““No sex before marriage!””
The thing is that back then it was taboo to talk about pregnancy and even sex for that matter. Specially when they’re young and not married. Those conversations were reserved for when they want to procreate.
Personally for me, I don’t think MC should be having a sex life at the age of 15 or 16. I mean don’t get me wrong, it can STILL happen, just because it wasn’t excepted back then doesn’t mean it never happened. I just don’t think teen mom really fits well with MC (or at least mine). Plus babies, although are cute, can be a huge pain in the ass while you are studying at Hogwarts while beating up poachers and killing trolls with the imperius curse
Now I do over analyze things you can thank my AP teach in hs for that. And this is only an opinion with a hint of research I did. You do not have to agree with me. As an artist I’m not ready to make that kind of content and this is just my way of thinking. I don’t speak for other artists, so if you want to write underage smut, and even a teen mom MC you do you! Don’t let my words dictate what’s right or wrong because in reality of it all, there is no right or wrong.
There can be other factors like:
Artists not feeling comfortable writing about pregnancy
Just wanting to write smut because they can
There might be hidden context that the artist is keeping secret until the right moment
They are literally writing in a AU where pregnancy can be avoided (modern AU for example)
We are talking about an AU where there are witches and wizards, there could easily be something that could prevent a pregnancy if you just make a HC
But I think it just all comes down to artists comfort level. I mean I’m comfortable with adults having kids because it makes sense… but at 15??? Unless they were married which is was very common for young females in the Victorian era, I don’t think MC having a child while still in school would be realistic in that time period. Honestly women going to school is unrealistic too but this is a different AU… things aren’t going to be realistic.
Just some random research I did because I love analyzing things: (this is based off of England)
A woman can get married at a very young age… BUT— the man has to be 21 or older if he wants to marry someone under the age of 21. Because in England of 1823, it was legal for a man and women to marry at the age of 21. Although it seems after 23 men could easily marry a female from 12 and up without parents consent (I know, sickening)
In the Victorian era, although it was common to see young women with older men, the average age a women would have a child is around the age 21-23
Females who got pregnant in their teens were actually punished for their “sins” and were actually forced to put their child up for adoption in some cases
It wasn’t common for people to have premarital sex until 1920
