Oof, the internal debate when I see a fic with something I loathe in the first sentence (in this case a PoV) and knowing if I can get over this weird pet peeve of mine I’d enjoy it versus the extreme pining my brain is doing for the concept is....a Lot

OMG I LUV THIS SO MUCH
pairing: charles leclerc x verstappen!reader
warnings: swearing
a/n: sorry this took so long 😭 hope y'all enjoy!
masterlist
-✧⬝✧⬝✧⬝✧⬝✧-
It wasn't a secret around the Ferrari paddock that you were dating Charles Leclerc, but it also wasn't a secret that you are the Max Verstappen's sister. Not that your brother was very aware of your dating life. *cough* that your boyfriend is Charles *cough* He would flip if he knew.
Oh and he did flip, when he found out.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" max yelled, stomping towards you and Charles who had bolted apart when they heard max.
You looked around nervously not making eye contact, "nothing" you said.
"nothing?!" Max arched an eyebrow. He looks at your boyfriend giving him the death glare. You look at Charles pleading him to not say anything.
Max wins, "I'm sorry" Charles says.
You don't make eye contact, but pull Charles close to you, "Max. I'd like you to meet my boyfriend" you turn to max and smile. Charles chuckles nervously.
"boyfriend?!" You nod at his words. "Y/n you're dating my rival?!"
"yep" you smile, then turn and say "sorry brother but we gotta go" and with that you and Charles walk away.
-
This night was not going how it was planned, you planned for a night out with your boyfriend because you hadn't been spending as much time together recently, well ever since max found out. You weren't sure if the reason he was distancing himself was because he was A) afraid of max, B) Max had given him some sort of talk (or yell), C) he was really busy, or D) he just didn't want to hang out.
You were really hoping it wasn't the last option. So now here you were sitting across from Charles at a restaurant of his choosing. Sitting in this stupid dress, getting into a stupid argument over the silliest thing, that turned into an argument about max's reaction to your relationship. And Max taking his feelings out on the track.
The yelling turned heads at the restaurant. Eventually the two of you made your way out of the restaurant, you were sure if the two of you were a cartoon characters smoke would be coming out of your ears.
The night ended so ugly. "I HATE YOU. I. HATE. YOU." you yelled at Charles. "I never, ever want to see you again!"
Charles' features softened almost, the realization of what was happening hitting him, "FINE!" He yelled angrily back, "I hope you have a terrible life y/n"
With that you slammed the door in his face. As soon as it shut, you slid down the door sobs erupting from you.
-
It had been a couple weeks since you had seen Charles. You really didn't want to go to the race and face the chance of seeing Charles, but Max really wanted you there. So begrudgingly you agreed to go.
You showed up to the race wearing all black and sunglasses. The moment you stepped into the Red Bull paddock and Christian tried to greet you, you gave a bland "Hello" and sat down at one of the chairs and watched everyone work. Everyone got the message that you clearly didn't want to be there and were only there for their star racer, your brother.
It was a good race, Max won, again. Of course you were happy for him but you weren't really in the mood to celebrate. However you joined max and the rest of the grid at a club to celebrate. You couldn't help but wonder if Charles would be there. Probably not because he had a shit race not even finished, getting a DNF. You didn't want to feel bad for him, bit a small pang of guilt coursed through you thinking you may have been the cause of his DNF.
You were leaning against the bar, a stiff drink in your hand. When you felt someones eyes on you, a very familiar pair of eyes, you turned in around, your eyes meeting his. He looked away quickly. He looked almost sad.
Max had turned around just in time to catch this interaction. The realization finally hits him of how happy the two of you were together, and that he might actually be the cause of your misery. Suddenly feeling guilty for being happy when the two broke up. Now realizing what he must do.
-
He knew he had to get the two of you back together. Now he just had to come up with a plan. It was the most cliched plan ever trapping them in a room together to force them to talk it out. He told Carlos his plan, Carlos thought it was brilliant, since he could see the pain in his teammate's eyes ever since the two of you broke up. Carlos tested the group chat saying to meet at max's room to have a guys night. Then, Max texted you telling you to meet him in his room before dinner.
When you got to his room Max claimed he had a call he had to take and stepped outside for a bit, you didn't miss the note sitting on the table but before you could investigate someone knocked, you assumed it was max who accidentaly closed his door on his way out. When you opened it you where met with the face of the last man you wanted to see.
"What are you doing here?" you asked almost slamming the door in his face.
"I'm here to hang with the guys, why are you here?" he retorted. "he said he had something important to say" Then you saw your brother come out of nowhere push the two of you inside and lock the door, you finally realized that the lock was on the outside of the door.
"That little shit"you mumbled under your breath.
"What?" Charles asked, "what is happening?" CHarles asked looking around the room frantically finally his eyes settled on the paper in your hand.
"My idiot brother set this up" you sighed, rolling your eyes.
"What does the letter say?"
Dear Y/N and Charles,
I am so sorry that I screwed this up for you two.
Now get your heads out of your asses and fucking MAKE UP!
The two of you are clearly fucking MISERABLE without the other.
Your favorite person,
Max
"That little shit" you repeated again much louder this time.
"Is- is it true?" Charles finally asked. You tilted your head as if to question. "Did I really hurt you that much?"
You just nodded slowly, "are- are you hurt too Charles? Or did I imagine the pain in your eyes in the club?" Slowly but surely the two of you were inching closer to each other.
"I've really missed you y/n/n" Charles spoke softly, he reached for your hand but pulled back afraid of your possible reaction.
"I miss you too" you replied grabbing his hand, entwining your fingers. "I can't believe I let my brother of all people get in between us" you let out a light chuckle.
"Can we just forget these past weeks never happened?" Charles asked so politely.
You smiled, looking him in the eyes, "Alright ask me"
"Ask you what?" He asked.
"You know what" you replied.
Charles rolled his eyes, "y/n y/l/n will you make me the happiest man and be my girlfriend?"
"Yes you idiot of course, I love you" you pulled Charles into you, your lips meeting his.
"I missed you so fucking much" Charles mumbled pulling away.
"And?" you replied littering kisses all over his face.
"And I love you so much" he laughed, pulling you back in for another deep kiss.
"Please never leave me again" you whispered.
"Never."
As you leaned in for another kiss you could hear your brother and a couple other friends on the other side of the door peering in through the window shouting yes and high-fiving.
You and Charles laughed foreheads touching.

If I were a cartoon review youtuber, some of my videos would definitely be:
Underrated Animated films you should see vol. 1 - ongoing
Complete look at Skunk Fu! and all it's episodes
What's ACTUALLY wrong with Illumination films (spoiler: it's not the designs). And that video would probably have a sequel ironically unironically accusing Chris Meladandri of being a White Walker who rips out movies' souls.
Disturbing Animated Film Iceberg.
A calming, sweet short retrospective on The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends.
Killing off the idea of "endgame". Tho, tbf, I'm definitely going to be writing that thesis statement down someday. I guess in video format it'd be a big "did this series REALLY fall off cuz the creator catered to fans?" breakdown of a few shows.
A video about 9. Because of course I'd make something about 9.
Politically heavy (but not horror) animated films.
An essay explaining the difference between what I want to see in a story vs what's actually good in a story; and likewise the difference between what I personally do/don't find offensive and what's objectively offensive as a viewer.
The dichotomy and standards between different talking animal films.
A review about Mary and Max and why I like it but it's okay if other autists don't. which would be a broader video about how to listen to the opinions of demographics and minorities and not to treat any one as a hivemind.
Movies that I dislike but aren't actually bad.
Movies I love that aren't really all that good.
A deeper dive on my take that Steven Universe was always deeply flawed but having an otherwise working ending; where Star vs was a well-written show that utterly biffed it on the ending.
The Swan Princess is secret conservative propaganda.
The 31 dumbest things in Oogies Revenge.
Zero's Journey is the only good TNBC continuation.
13 Horror animated Feature Films. For Halloween, of course...
My issue with Dreamworks' stans and why I dislike How to Train You Dragon 2.
My issues with Anti v Proshipping. Def would be a multi part series explaining why I think most of the problem is just people really aggresively bulling one another -AND THEN, getting into heinous fandom shit that no one talks about and the ethics of children online and freedom of expression.
Prolly then would make an exclusive (cuz it's dirty) review abt the rights of r34 and adult artists and what they had to/have to put up with both from peers and websites banning explicit material.
What absolutely doesn't work about Pocahontas and Anastasia.
I'd do a series called "Spitball Re-haul" wherein I go through a revisioned show's premise and then explain all the reasons for the changes. I'd make:
How I'd rewrite The Owl House season 3.
How I'd rewrite Star vs the Forces of Evil "Cleaved".
How I'd rewrite Strange Magic.
How I'd rewrite Raya and the Last Dragon.
How I'd rewrite Seasons 4-8 of Friendship is Magic.
My tinfoil hat video on Disney trying to profit so much off of fans is hurting their bases.
Mapping out and analyzing different types of crossover fiction, their merits and their issues with story-keeping.
Mythological and cultural animated films.
and finally, for when I'd muster up the strength:
an HBomberGuy-type callout/deepdive into MysteriousMrEnter and Lily Orchard and how they've made cartoon reviews worse.

I'd like to share some theories I have about lego Erlang shen
First theory: I have seen theories about how from SWK's point of view he was abandoned by the brotherhood in his fight with heaven, but what if it wasn't just from SWK's point of view, what if everyone who was present at the battle, Erlang shen included, thought that in fact the brotherhood escaped and left sun wukong to his fate?
Second theory: Erlang shen kills the six-eared monkey to keep him away from sun wukong permanently not with the intention of harming sun wukong in fact he does so because he does not love him romantically but brotherly Erlang shen sees SWK as his younger brother and thinks he deserves something better than a weak monkey who leaves him to his fate and then tries to steal his identity
Monkie Kid spoilers below:
Could very well be the case @maidenofthecloud! And it definitely would be refreshing to have something from Sun Wukong's past that isn't just him getting yelled at and/or screwing everything up lol. Though given lego's tendency to introduce characters in a set that never actually make it into the cartoon that could very well be what's happening with the little sage...also they'd have to go into why Erlang Shen would even care about The Monkey King in the first place outside of "he's an incredibly strong yaoguai I need to subdue"--especially since lego show Sun Wukong is far less powerful than book Sun Wukong--& I don't know if Flying Bark would want to spend time on that given all the other questions they've raised that STILL haven't been answered, such as what even happened to the other og pilgrims, why did SWK trap the Demon Bull King under a mountain, or why SWK even wanted a tudi in the first place. Of course it could be that Erlang Shen becomes the next character from the og classic who gets thrown under the bus to force Sun Wukong & the Six-Eared Macaque into a closer relationship, which at this point I wouldn't put past Flying Bark lmao. Personally I think it would be the neatest if all of the recent nonsense with SWK's former brotherhood was a scheme that Erlang Shen concocted to A) Take down the Jade Emperor who he sees as a bad ruler (and also to get back at his uncle for having his father and brother killed but good luck getting him to admit that lol) and B) Take heaven's throne for himself through right of succession without having to dirty his hands. In other words, I'd LOVE to see an antagonist Erlang Shen, but of the kind hinted at in Lotus Lantern where he does what he does because thanks to his own trauma and knowledge of the cataclysms heaven and earth have suffered because of the decisions of various deities and yao he developed a very particular way about how he thinks heaven and earth should be run and how deities should interact with yao and mortals, and that anything that falls outside of that needs to be Corrected.
Also I know it's a long shot at this point but I'm personally hoping that they keep closer to the og classic's version of the true and false monkey king arc if for no other reason that it would be very funny to see the fallout of the truth of LEMH's whole murder-replace scheme being revealed. TFW you become so violently obsessed with your bestie that you start running around in a skinsuit that looks like him & saying that you're actually him.

Creon, strangest thing you’ve seen in either your interdimensional travels or in Inkwell Isles, go-
Strangest? To be honest, lots of dimensions were pretty strange. Are you talking "Alice in Wonderland" strange? Or just strange to me? Cuz there were quite a few. Disturbing ones? Well you didn't specify about that so moving on.
I think one of the strangest one was a literal cartoon dimension, almost like here. I literally fell into a dimension where cartoon characters were breaking the 4th wall. No joke, they looked at some random space and talked to no one in particular. That dimension had a school that taught teenage "toons" how to be funny for future show biz. Oh but "Wacky land" was such an acid trip. Never want to go back there again.
I was stuck in that dimension for almost half a year. It was chaotic as hell, but fun. Still super weird to look at a live cartoon universe, including yourself drawn out like a cartoon. I thought I was tripping on acid or got a concussion from the initial fall. I've kinda gotten used to seeing toons chucking dynamite at each other or falling to pieces, then coming back like nothing happened. I swear that dimension was trippy. Still not getting over how people's eyeballs can pop out & then be shoved back in.
Another trippy place Moo-ee? Meow-nay? No, Mewni! I hate that place! This is probably where the my dislike for magic started. It was already bad that the local monsters were discriminated and living like second-class citizens in their OWN dimension. And whose idea was it to give a magic wand with cosmic powers to a teenager? Do you know how unhinged and chaotic teenagers can be? And it's so weird to see about 3 moons in the sky. I know other planets have more moons, but it's surreal to see in person.
Most of the "monsters" were actually chill. But the flora and fauna and some of the actual feral creatures were really deadly. Don't get me started with the warnicorns. The place is some sort of twisted version of my world. How there are certain kingdoms have "monster" people yet all the other "monsters" are harassed and dunked on. There's a literal kingdom of pigeons. Oh and there's some sort of "High Magic Commission" or something convoluted. How these guys are cool with the $h!t that goes on while they're blatantly "monster-ish" is plain f****d up. Well looks like no dimension is ever safe from same exact bull$h!t from home. Oh yeah! I accidentally got cursed there too! But only temporarily.
The Dungeon & Dragons dimension was strange, like it kind of nerfed my strength a bit. Like the universe or the laws of reality seemed to actively dunk one me. But thankfully, it didn't hinder me too much and I could always rely on other skills. On the bright side, I picked up even more weapons to add to my arsenal. Plus, it was much more easier with a party. I called this dimension Dungeons & Dragons cuz it's one of the few things I'm familiar with. It could've been some random fantasy world, but everything seemed so similar to the game.
Weirdest part was that sometimes my Time Brace worked, and sometimes there were areas that interfered with communication back home. I regrettably had to do some heinous stuff in order to find an area where I could get a clear reading and activate a portal. Also, f*** the pantheon! The gods there can suck a huge d*ck for all I care.
Another strange one was a literal world where you hunted and killed monsters for your food. Imagine if you were to compete in a cooking competition, except you had to get your own ingredients, survive in the harsh wilderness, and kill the beasts and other competitors to stay alive and get to the next round. Felt like I was living in some f***ed up video game.
The only reason I competed was for any hopes of finding possible resources or connections to someone who could help me. Seriously, it's ridiculous how the judges there have huge political power. The judges are actual representatives from major empires and regions so they have access to places or people I wouldn't be able to reach. I'm just glad I found a reliable partner to tag team with. We were barely able to make it as final contestants. Oh yeah, my sous-chef was a goblin who was missing his legs from foot to kneecap. He was a stabby little b@$tard, but really helped me out in that world. I have been spoiled too much by modern conveniences.
But nothing will EVER top the literal endless white void where eldritch entities roamed. I'd categorize THIS place as disturbing, but it was by far the most strangest place yet. By the way, that was the most recent one I hopped from. I had no sense of time and there was no telling if anything was truly from afar or nearby. Sometimes I ended up running in a loop or running into a wall. The only reason I survived from being eaten or having my brain melted was because I took the stupidest gamble of all times. Saving a huge looking parasitic worm. I couldn't even contact home because those eldritch monsters would follow the signal. So it was always a risk to even ask for help on possibly dealing with those things.
I don't know why, but with the last few experiences, I should've killed that thing and eaten it. But some reason I took pity on it. I just felt sorry for it, laying there alone and defenseless. I really didn't know that was a baby eldritch god at that time. I only knew that once I started carrying "Rue" in my bag, things got less confusing, and "Rue" was able to communicate by tapping its tentacles on my shoulders or giving these weird mental nudges. Also it helped to have an actual living being to help keep my sanity in tact. Probably a good call since "Rue" is the only reason why I'm still alive in one piece.
*sigh*...I just want to go home.

Flashback: 1989
Is it strange that most of my childhood is a blur yet, for some reason, 1989 as a five year old is more vivid than anything else to me? Nostalgia is a tricky thing and I heard once that we often remember tragedy over brighter times. For me, 1989 was the opposite of tragedy. It was hope, it was optimism, it was life in freedom without being forced into a mold. Just one year later I would be given more strict gender roles by both society and my parents being pressured by said society. I could go from liking things "not meant" for my assigned gender at birth to hiding those same toys away. I would be in elementary school as the calendar changed over to 1990. I'd have to pretend to be a boy and fake every smile I made.
I'm not saying that a pity party should be coming my way or that my parents did something inherently wrong. To be fair, I didn't even know being transgender was a thing until I hit my early 20's. Being raised in a Catholic neighborhood will shelter you like that. The only people who had computers and the internet made way more money than my family did. I couldn't just Google my gender dysphoria so spent most of my childhood misunderstanding what it meant. Not in 1989. In 1989 I felt safe.
Lady Lovely Locks hit the television and the toy stores at the same time which meant, as a child who adored falling into a world of magical princesses and fairy creatures who became friends, I wanted everything to do with it. I remember reading her books avidly while brushing the luxurious hair on my dolls. The tiny pixietail toys would clip onto the doll's hair or my own if I wanted to pretend like I was Lady herself. I often slipped into imagination and my parents were kind enough to let me. There was no concern because I was five years old and it was just one cartoon. Just one set of dolls. I didn't have to fit into the mold of what being a boy was. I could be one of Lady Lovely Lock's friends and daydream my time away.
There was a toy store in my local mall - now having been abandoned and bull dozed to the ground thanks to internet shopping and economy - that featured those Lady Lovely Locks dolls prominently in its window. I always begged my mom to go in and help me look through them all. It was the end of the 80's and anyone growing up in that time will tell you that companies would market new toy lines constantly. None of them mattered to me. I had one hyper focus: the world of Lovely Locks and her magical pixietail friends. I ran by other shelves, including the ones stocked with traditional toys marketed towards boys at that time, and went right up to the Lady herself to see what new installments in her world I could bring home. It was magic. It was warm, it was comfort, it was a memory edged in a golden sheen.
Something happens as an adult when that nostalgia is encountered again. I always go back to 1989 and the seeds of that nourishes my wounded heart. I've come out now, I've transitioned, and I think the world still hates me for it. We are becoming a more hateful society and any innocence I once had has long been lost. Still, I go back to that mall window or my bedroom with the warm rays of light shining on my toy box. I'm sitting on the carpet and humming a song to myself as I play with Lady Lovely Locks. On guard on my dresser is Teddy Ruxpin, and in the Lady's kingdom the Care Bears are always welcome. The hand on the clock stops. I'm safe.
The thing about nostalgia is that you can't stay in it forever. You can only go back to visit it once in a while when you're really wounded, when you really need to recover from a world that keeps screaming to end your life. But once in a while I slip back to 1989 and I live in the golden framed state where I was most freely myself and safe because of it. No one forced me to be anything I wasn't. I was just a little girl playing with her dolls, heart full of hope that one day I would enter the kingdom of Lovely Locks and would be as beautiful as any princess.

Nah, I am really comfortable with that, because like I mean that's in the past
So well, where do we start?
Well I grew up in a village and my aunt had like her own farm and they had a lot of cows and two bulls
One of them was honestly such an ass! He was so damn aggressive for what? Well, the cows had than like free time? And in the evening we should help gather them all together, but that one bull was starting to get way too aggressive and ran after us! I was screaming my lungs out and hid in that outdoor toilets, I swear I never ran this much and this fast in my entire life!
It was actually a pretty scary experience, but om the other hand it was probably looking funny from the outside
Like the ones who aren't involved, for them it must have been like those old 80/90 cartoons
nooo I love cows this would be heartbreaking for me to experience!! I'm no animal expert but I can think of some reasons the bull may have been acting that way but regardless sounds like a terrifying experience, if I was in your shoes I think I would've froze up instead of ran so thank god you're not me XD
but oh god I can see it animated in my head and it most certainly looks like something out of a cartoon, makes for a funny story though because at least you didn't get hurt!!
I'd love to have a farm someday but I may need to mark this down in my mind as a little mental note to be wary of cows haha

Hi! Can I have a Supernatural fluff matchup with male preference?
𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘: 20 years old, 5'1", Southeast Asian. Chubby with brunette bob cut hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a small beauty mark on my forehead. My style is in between soft grunge and soft punk but loves to wear Korean makeup style
𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬: Muggleborn Ravenclaw with a patronous spirit of Hummingbird, an INFJ (last time I checked at MBTI test), my enneagram is 4w5 and my moral alignment is Neutral Good. I may have a slight introverted tendencies and awkward nature, I describe myself as fiery, swears like a sailor, confident, jokester, and, passionate. Religious, super talkative, sometimes hyper (because of excitement), giggly (I always laugh for stupid reasons), nerdy, actually sweet and nice though I can be aloof, intimidating, and scary when I get so angry. I tend to become really fiesty, stands boldly on what I believe (claiming myself as a realist though some of my views doesn't makes sense), and unbothered to be true to myself, clumsy, stubborn, childish, unfortunate and inattentive. I have "no bulls*** attitude" towards the people that I hate, sarcasam and savagery is my main language. But on the other side, I overthink a lot and cry over small things many times, small mistakes leads me to provoke me even more that sounds like a drama queen, yet recognizes a soft spot for dumb jokes, cheesy pickup lines and prefer people with a good sense of humour who see myself as equal. Chill in academics, but very competitive that manages to the top even for my dreams---I'm very dedicated on what I want for my life, and have modesty towards some people that deserves respect. One notable feature about her is her multi-potentiality due to being naturally gifted in artistic fields (this includes singing).
𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗦: Arts, choir, poetry, karaoke, literature, history, makeup, beauty pageants, fun/deep/dumb conversations, expanding my knowledge in Christianity, documentaries (about saints), reading interesting stuffs, talking about social issues, and creative writing, chilling both indoors and outdoors.
𝗛𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗘𝗦: Drawing, singing, dancing when nobody's around, walking like a model (if I ever feel so confident), sleeping, listening to music (from rock to kpop),chatting or browsing on social media, watching videos on YouTube, making terrible jokes/puns, watching cartoons, writing, reading interesting things, and conceptualizing my artworks. I also used to study Italian language a bit
I match you with!
Sam Winchester!
- he’d be reminded of his brother at first making it kind of a rocky relationship at first! 
- but as he got to know you he’d fall in love with you!  He adores you and your interests!
- he’ll let you practice makeup on him if/when you wanna try new styles. he sees it as good bonding!
-you share a room in the bunker, and he lets you decorate it, if you want to put cultural based things in there he wont stop you, hell, he’ll encourage it, if you want to put art on the walls, he’ll swoon and compliment it all the time, and i mean ALL. THE. TIME.  Anything you make is great, even if you cant see the good, he can. also heavily encourages crosses and Christianity based object. Man’s met an angel, has been to the garden of eden (pardon my spelling, i am very stupid, and very jewish) and if i remember correctly, HAS MET GOD. So its not a problem.
-If you have won awards from beauty pageants he’ll try to make a shelf to display them, which might annoy dean a bit, but you’e already basically a sister in law, so he’s not gonna say much about it.
- Sam can and will beat up racist's, he lives above the law being a hunter so its not like he’s gonna get caught. 
-   learns lyrics to songs you like to sing with you.
- sam almost 1000000% did choir as a kid, so you and him chat or talk about your times in choir, and if you’re part of a church choir, he will crash weddings to watch you sing. hell even if you’re part of non church choir, he’ll watch you sing, expect him to show up to everything you do.
This is so short im so sorry, i am very tired and have very long nails on so typing is a pain in the ass! please send me a msg if you need any revisions or things edited

Okay hear me out…i am torn a little between Damon and Stefan. Damon would like your spunk, confidence, and how funny you are. I could see you guys having deep conversations and tell jokes to each other. I think Damon would be most intrigued by you by how sarcastic and stubborn you are. The complete opposite of Elena. I also think you could get him into k-pop. But Stefan… I could see you guys digging into history together and watching documentaries together. Admiring art, music, and literature. I think Stefan would like how passionate you are in discussions!

Remus is a lot wiser than he lets on, and he is the one side who could reach Virgil before he got accepted. And even now he's still good at helping the emo he loves feel better
-------
Janus sighed and closed the door behind him. It was no use, not this time, not after that display of disregard. He clutched the icepack, now warm with tears, and looked up at the side waiting for answers.
“He won’t listen to me, not this time, even with hypnosis,” he sighed, “Maybe you can reach him, Remus. Someone has to.”
Remus nodded solemnly and sank out. Virgil wasn’t leaving his room, and after the video that day, it was understandable why he would want to hide. Thomas turned him into a cartoon. Thomas made him fly to California. Thomas made him a supervillain. Thomas punched him. in. the. face. Rejection was one thing, but that, that broke him. Remus and Janus feared for the worst.
“Oh Virgilisonfire!" he sang as he rose up in the dimly lit room. His slimy black heart broke at the sight of Anxiety curled up and slumped over his knees, bundled in blankets with his hood up. He had a nasty bruise on his cheek that shone under a glaze of tears.
"All I want is to protect him," Virgil sniffed and hugged himself tighter, "But I'm not doing that anymore."
Remus approached the bed and sat down next to him.
"What do you mean? You're protecting him still. He's just an idiot. And that's saying something coming from your favorite horny dumbass!" Remus giggled and wrapped an arm around him.
"I'm holding him back, I'm hurting him, and I don't blame him for hating me. I'm a disease. A terrible illness that won't stop making things worse."
"You? Kickin-bod Crane? No no no no, that's not right, not at all," Remus pouted and pulled him closer with no resistance.
"Versa E-Verge, you aren't some sexy strain of yersinia pestis, I would be harassing you day and night if you were," he said, getting a snort from Virgil, "No, you are not the plague. You have your moments of overdoing it, but who doesn't? You do a lot for the big T that he doesn’t appreciate, and you know that, you just gotta stay determined to do you.”
“But doing me hurts him so much. Even if I do some good stuff, I do a lot more harm and he hates me for it. He’s right to hate me. I’m not the plague but I am a sickness, like the Spanish flu.”
“You wanna go with disease metaphors? Okay! You know you only have to deal with the Spanish flu once, and he deals with you a lot more than that. You, my gloomy goober, have bad times, and they’re as basic as a common cold!” Remus said with a bright grin, making Virgil scowl, “Yeah, you’re not some terrible illness, you’re just a common cold, gone before you know it, and then back at it again and it’s predictable. You’re not killing him, making him rot from the inside out or destroying his vital organs, you’re a mild inconvenience when shit hits the fan. Those bad times pass, and then you’re not what he thinks is a problem. Again, I’m telling you, Thomas is dumb, like he has three Kronk's in his personality.”
“Three?” Virgil questioned and wiped his eyes, “I know Princey and Patton are, but who’s the third?”
“Me!” Remus laughed and threw his arms out. Virgil let out a small laugh and shook his head.
“Kronk is kind, strong, respectful, and moronic.”
“Yeah, I know!”
“You’re not moronic.”
“Aw!” Remus squealed and pulled Virgil into a bear hug, earning a fond groan in response. Virgil took a minute to free his arms and hug back, but he managed to do it.
“Thanks, Dukey, you always know what to say to help.”
“I also know how what to say to make you incredibly uncomfortable, disturbed, disgusted, and horn—"
“Shut up a bit and lemme have this moment.”
“Okay, Scare Bear. We love you, even if they don’t. I love you.”
---------------
Two Years Later…
“You know what's funny. You used to really unsettle me,” Virgil said, finally addressing him without the others intervening. Remus pouted and rolled his neck, wondering why Janus hadn’t popped up for this load of bull.
“I thought that you were some...terrible illness.” That caught his attention, and a soft smile crept onto his face. He could see where Virgil was going with this, the subtlety masked his meaning perfectly.
“Now I can see that you're just...a common cold...a mild inconvenience...that's gone before you know it."
Remus couldn’t fight the laugh that bubbled from his chest, “Oh, you TickleMe Emo! I enjoyed this! Good seeing you again, Virgil! Ah, it was just like old times!” He didn’t need to see more than that reluctant half-smile before sinking out.
After a quick bit of annoying Roman, because no sibling can easily resist the urge to be a pain, Remus actually returned to his room. It really was fun to finally get to interact with Thomas face-to-face, even if he didn’t give the duke a positive reception. Not that Remus was looking for positivity in this case, he was busy being an alarm that something wasn’t right. That something was Janus, refusing to leave his room for anything. Remus absolutely refused to offer any advice to help his slithering partner in crime, since Janus was too stubborn and his advice was probably what led to Virgil ducking out.
Remus flopped on his four-poster bed and sighed. Maybe his advice from before did reach Virgil as he intended, maybe it wasn't enough back then. Seeing him so hostile recently should have made Remus see that he forgot those words until Logan brought up doctors. It wouldn't have surprised the duke if Virgil willingly forgot about their history together. It stung but Remus saw it coming. He didn't see what was just on the horizon.
"Octopup?" Virgil's shaking voice got Remus to sit up. His heart broke when he saw Virgil standing in front of him, hugging himself with his head hanging. He was shaking and terrified.
"Need a hug, Scare Bear?" Remus asked and held his arms open, as if nothing had changed. Virgil crashed into him, knocking him back and clinging to him for dear life. Remus held him close and stroked his hair.
"So do you want to tell me what's wrong or should I just keep doing this?"
"I–I—" Virgil stammered, fighting back tears, "I told Thomas I was one of you. He didn't take it well."
"I hate to break it to you, but you're still one of us. You always have a place here, even if you don't think you do. You really think that we would just stop caring about you even though you left?"
"I've been horrible to you. Why would you want me back?"
"No one is trying to bring you back, we understand that you had to go. But you are always welcome if you want to visit our little cesspool."
"Remus," Virge said, pulling away to look at him, "it's not a cesspool. I know you aren't just intrusive thoughts and you do other good things. I just got stuck on the horrible things that could happen."
"I guess I really did unsettle you."
"Whenever you said, 'I love you,'" Virge admitted shyly, "I kinda figured it was just low-stakes platonic and I kinda—"
"Wanted it to be higher stakes?" Remus continued, "Because I have some good news for you!"
"Knowing I missed out is not good news."
"Then it's a good thing it's not that!" Remus giggled and held him closer, "I want you to be happy, Harlot's Web, but it would be so much better to be able to be the reason you smile and laugh. I love you, Virge and I don't care if you don't love me back, I just want you to be comfortable and confident and the image in my head when I j—"
Virgil surged forward and kissed him, desperately but sweetly. It caught Remus by surprise, but he was a man who lived for surprises! But Virgil pulled away before he could kiss back.
"I—I'm–I shouldn't've—" Virgil yelped and covered his mouth, ready to cry again.
"But you did, and I'm not complaining!" Remus teased, "But if you aren't comfortable with it, I'm good like this. You don't have to worry about me and my feelings right now, you need some creature comfort, and I am a slimy creature built for comfort—and pleasure!"
"I love you too, you himbo trash man!" Virgil grumbled and hid his face in Remus' shoulder, "Thank you for being there for me, even now."
"Aw, Scare Bear!" Remus squealed and hugged him even tighter. Virgil didn't fight to break free. He nuzzled closer and melted into the embrace. He felt like he was home for the first time in forever.

I hate angel dust from hazbin hotel so much, I hate his shitty character design, I hate the fact he's a shitass excuse for positive LGBT rep, I hate his stupid almond-shaped-no-room-for-a-brain lookin dumbfuck ass head,I hate his dumb fuck smug smile, I hate his design so much, mf doesn't even look like a spider but some weird Tim Burton character humanization gone wrong I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE HIM, why does he have eyes that look like freckles under his eyes??? Why the fuck are his eyes 2 different colors, his color palette is so horrendous I can feel my eyes in pain when I look at him, Everytime they try to make him look sexy I'm filled with anger and disgust, everytime I see his stupid smug face I want to grab his skinny ass waist like a cup and throw his ass into the sun, I hate his personality "dur hur I'm angel dust and I'm gay and sex obsessed" sex and being an asshole are his only personality traits, "but it's in hell" AT LEAST GIVE ME SOMETHING TO LIKE, I'm not asking him do be pure but at least give me something to make me less livid whenever I see him, I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE HIM, Everytime I see angel dust ESPECIALLY IF it's sexy fanart I go into a primal rage where I have the need to pull out my raid like when I see a cockroach, I hate his design so fucking much, where the fuck does his shitty ass hair end and begin???? Why does he has spiddies, honestly he looks like was drawn by fucking rcdart, Stewie Griffin lookin ass, nothing he says is memorable or funny, Everytime I see angel dust I'm like a bull when I see red, you look like a stupid fucking soft serve onceler abomination with pink sprinkles, you look like a rejected villainous character who was inspired by that dumbass from rocky horror picture show, FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and you may be thinking that's alot of hate for a single cartoon character and that I'm overreacting right???? And you have a point, but where else will I direct that internalized rage that has been spewing inside me for years, where else will I put my anger I've been forced to keep inside for years because of past people in my life, my life is perfectly fine right now, what is there to be mad at???? Angel dust is like a jar where I keep all of my toxic rage directed at, he's like a dam protecting an innocent city from flooding with my pure boiling anger, everytime I see him I'm so livid and for no reason, I hate hazbin hotel but for some unexplainable reason the spirit of my rage has chosen him as my vessel which I have no choice but to submit to, angel dust is such a shitty character and garbage representation he's literally the shittiest tier LGBT rep, he's what every yaoi fangirl think good gay rep is like, they really didn't have to be out here and make him sexually harass every man he sees but they really did, angel dust encapsulates everything wrong when cishet yaoi fangirls try to write gay men and refuse to listen who they're writing for, I am entirely motivated to be better than that out of spite and anger, Everytime I see fanart of angel dust as Thicc or in sexy lingerie I get to much bad energy from it I feel as if I was send by some greater force to rid the world of evil angel dust is like everything unfunny about shows like family Guy or South Park shoved into a stupid Tumblr bait package I hate him FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUVK YOU

Hello, may I request a romantic Bnha matchup please? It can be whoever.
I’m a straight male ,5’9, INFP-T, hufflepuff, my zodiac is a cusp of taurus and gemini. I kind of look like a chubby Aizawa in a hoodie. My love language is physical touch and my sub languages are quality time and acts of service. Honestly my ideal date is netflix and cuddles. All I want is loyalty and trust in the relationship and my partner, I want us to be able to see past each other's flaws.
I daydream almost constantly, as soon as I’m bored I daydream I could go from creating a whole story in my head to thinking about death and getting depressed and vice versa. I ask weird questions to whoever will listen.
I'm not good with conversation whenever someone wants to talk to me I never know what to say and whenever I talk I'm interrupted or ignored, although if I get angry enough I will speak up and get sarcastic, I'm also not afraid to call out on someone's bulls**t. I'm not good at making decisions unless I'm completely sure of my choice and I'll probably feel guilty no matter what I decide. I'm also a bit of a picky eater.
I spend most of my time inside playing video games, watching cartoons,anime sitcoms, superhero shows or movies, or whatever's on Youtube, I also really like mystery shows. Although I will go outside if my friends want me to go somewhere or if I have to run errands, I can be more social with people I trust. I love music whenever I listen to music I get a burst of energy and can’t help but sing, My favorite genre is classic rock like bruce springsteen and queen. I love to cuddle and I can be clingy, if I could I would cuddle all day( I'm a little touch starved) . I'm afraid of the dark and death. I sleep with a lot of stuffed animals and plushies. I'm loyal and empathetic and I try to see the good in everyone and I’m always willing to help however I can.
If you decide to do this request I thank you for taking time out of your schedule to do this 😊.
P.S I will make a part two containing anxiety and depression so if that's triggering to you then you can ignore that one
It's no problem! I chose for you:
Mina Ashido!
Tumblr media
Reason
She doesn't deal with any bull! But she's also very cuddly and honestly, she would be very loyal! While you may be somewhat antisocial, she would make sure you wouldn't get interrupted or ignored!
Why They Love You
She loves when you get those bursts of energy! She always loves it when you listen to a song and start to sing, she'll always join you! She also loves to watch movies with you and cuddle up with you during a Netflix date.
Date Headcanons
You guys decided to have a night in! It was basically watching Netflix, cuddling, and eating takeout! She will cuddle up to you, laying her head in your lap. She always tries to make a pillow fort so you can watch the movie in there!
She loves to take you shopping! You usually get new plushies and get to look at the classic rock vinyl records! She always surprises you with stuff from Queen or Bruce Springsteen. If you didn't feel like going shopping with her that day, she will bring you some surprises back so you don't have to worry about it! Plus she knows everyone likes to stay at home every now and then!
She once tried to surprise you on a date to a music shop! It had record vinyls from all the bands you could think of! She was able to pick out different bands like Queen, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, and so much more! You two had a blast, and then you went out to eat afterward! It was simple but you still had an amazing time!
General Headcanons
She doesn't deal with bullshit! If she sees that you're being disrespected, she will step in and make it known that you should get respected. If anyone tries to talk over you, she will shush them! She does it so you can talk and try to have a good time, even if you are quiet.
You got her to play video games with you! At first, she didn't really understand it but once she got the hang of it, she got super competitive! You two would have competitions on who could score higher or would work together to beat a game. Whichever it was, she was just glad to spend that time with you!
Songs That Remind Me of You Both
You're My Best Friend by Queen
Drive All Night by Bruce Springsteen
I hope you have a great day!

it's funny how anything dirty napkin attempts in "clearing his name" only makes him sound more intolerant and making his situation worse
he keeps digging his own grave and it's just. Fantastic to watch.
nah you're not "ending it once and for all" hon, you're still messing with the bull that already gave you the horns multiple times
Tumblr media
You said it yourself, your blog is public and you think it's a good idea to post ALL of your personal matters online where everyone can see. And people can clearly see that this is not normal.
I did not make friends with PR just because you're an enemy of the Hilda fandom. I know she's been harassed by you for so long for no good reason and y'know what? time to step the fuck up and let her know she's not alone in this. Don't assume that I'm only doing things for the sake of Hilda, which is all in all just a cartoon and not my life, like it is yours I guess?
also PR already knew about your obsession with Hilda in the first place so Whoops!
Tumblr media
what the actual fuck??? no seriously get some help. have fun with your hate-boner for Bayonetta just because she shows more skin. coming from the guy who also says Shantae is a slut. what the FUCK

Not gonna lie, as much as I like that Monkie Kid deviates from JTTW to kinda be its own thing... I was kinda disappointed with who they picked as his sworn brothers, Macaque included. I do love the call backs to some villains in the original but I was hoping for his sworn brothers to be the same as JTTW or at least much closer to them (that and I've become a fan of the idea of the Macaque king not being Six Ears, or being more of a Queen than a King, during the hiatus). I'm still happy to see more of what Macaque and Wukong's relationship and hope we get more explanation as to what happened. As you said, we have yet to get Wukong's side of things and I want that CONTEXT so bad. (I am unsure if mind control had anything to do with it because of the Amnesia episode. I could be remembering wrong but he seemed like he was legit friends with Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie right?)
You've also mentioned before how it's very much becoming a "Wukong is a horrible person and everything is his fault" theme which, while he's not perfect, I'm really not a fan either. We need his side or all of this is just one sided bullshit. It's getting old, honestly.
I still love Qi Xiaotian, so I'm gonna watch to see how he grows. But damn. Give Wukong some joy and let him keep it, jeez.
Monkie Kid spoilers below:
aawergaerdsf YEAH @ladyzerodark every day I long for a JTTW retelling that uses the potential of the Monkey King's sworn brothers from the og classic like there is so little information about them outside of the Demon Bull King that the book is basically handing creators free ocs. As it is I've seen people go back and forth about whether the Macaque Demon King was a lady or not, but from what I understand even that might depend on regional differences in understandings of who that yaoguai was. Even the different translations of the Anthony C. Yu version present them in different ways, which needless to say makes thing even more confusing if you're trying to establish a baseline of what the sworn brothers were like. But besides that I think it would be cool to see SWK have some genuine monkey friends in the Macaque Demon King and Snub-nosed Monkey King who were actually his friends in Wu Cheng'en's work instead of his evil twin who hates his guts getting shoved into that role (X_X).
But yeah there's still a lot of unanswered questions about went down from the Monkey King's perspective buuuuut personally I still feel like this presentation of Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque being the closest of friends is giving me whiplash given that Macaque despised Sun Wukong so much that he repeatedly thrashed Qi Xiaotian for Crime of Associated With Monkey King all while Sun Wukong has given basically no sign of caring about the shadow simian like at all in any of the previous episodes. Besides the general trash-talk and contempt, Macaque, now revealed as a member of Sun Wukong's best friends forever club, literally blew up in front of him and SWK's only response was "you did good, bud" to the guy who did the exploding. But then again I guess that is fitting for the ongoing theme of "Sun Wukong is a genuinely terrible person who's hated by everyone who's known his for an extended period of time & for good reasons" so par for the course at this point. I'm probably being too mean in regards to a cartoon monkey, and hey maybe later things will genuinely re-contextualize things, but honestly I am kind of worried that Monkie Kid has now characterized Sun Wukong as so careless, so destructive, so stupid, and so routinely incompetent with catastrophic results that nothing in his backstory, not even the headband torture times, will serve as an explanation for why he acts the way he does. So maybe things will change with added context, but at the moment what's to say about lego Sun Wukong except

I always appreciate people who are willing to criticize LMK. Even if I don't agree with all your points. There's a vocal section of the fandom that do nothing but praise it and get upset when you find fault with it or any of their beloved characters. I like the show too but there are plenty of flaws and room for improvement. But many don't want to have that discussion. So it's just nice to see some watchers not mindlessly soak up everything the writers give us. Because despite what people say ad nauseum, the show isn't perfect.
Monkie Kid spoilers below:
Huh well anon firstly while I am aware that it can be hard to convey sincerity on the internet, genuinely thanks for messaging me with the approach that you can appreciate me complaining about a lego cartoon even while you don't agree with everything I'm saying. Too often I've seen even what started out as little disagreements in fandom circles explode into gigantic messes because of this all or nothing attitude that's engulfing more and more of fandom. I feel like that more than anything is the reason why I've adopted an perspective of "don't like don't read goes both ways" when it comes to fandom stuff; people should be free to praise or criticize a piece of media as much as they please as long as they're not harassing people over it, and one can follow, ignore, or block as one sees fit.
But hmmmm I know every fandom has its absolute admirers, but in terms of JTTW understandings in the west I feel like that's a liiiiiiitle bit worrisome here because of the way Monkie Kid--at least to me (haha yea subjective opinions ahoy)--seems to rapidly be falling victim to the storytelling detriments of "moar epic!," fandom character favoratism, and demand for angst. I mean, this show started out with the premise that it was going to be a fun adventure aimed at children where they'd get to by-proxy do cool things with one of the most beloved characters from Chinese mythology. But seasons 2, 3, and now 4 have been following this pattern of "Sun Wukong is largely absent--something really bad happens partially because of the big villain but also because the Monkey King made a massive miscalcuation that made everything 1000 times worse--Qi Xiaotian gets trauma upon trauma as a result--we all get together to blow something up at the end which magically fixes everything. FOR NOW."
So yea, in accordance with what seems to be general fandom tastes we get an increasingly traumatized Qi Xiaotian. We get a Six-Eared Macaque (the obvious fandom meow-meow) who now apparently used to be the main member of Sun Wukong's Best Friends Forever club and who obviously never did anything wrong evaaaaaar (what with the show forgetting about all the stuff he put Qi Xiaotian through & everything in the plot so far indicating the shadow monkey believed wholeheartedly in the Monkey King right before Sun Wukong the evil betraying bastard bonked him to death), and we get stakes that are literally about the fate of the entire world or even all of reality every season. But the cost of all of that was a plot structure that is increasingly failing to address many of its threads (hey remember how the Demon Bull family were the ones who released Lady Bone Demon? R we ever going to address that?), less and less and less genuine interactions between Sun Wukong and Qi Xiaotian, and, well, an increasing tendency in both fanon and canon to depict Sun Wukong as a careless screw-up at best and a selfish asshole at worst, or as a traumatized & miserable mess who needs to spend at least 100 years in therapy before he could even think about being anyone's mentor.
I mean hell, based on what I understand from the last twitter blow-up about all of this the response to the possibility that Sun Wukong was Qi Xiaotian's bio dad--you know, something that in a different context could have been a source of joy and excitement if it was about a father and son who had been torn apart through outside circumstances and were finally reunited--was first even MORE anger at the Monkey King for being a deadbeat dad on top of all his other screw-ups, and then relief when a lego show writer felt compelled to make it clear Sun Wukong was not the father. Because at this point if he was indeed Qi Xiaotian's bio dad, especially if Sun Wukong knew it the whole time, the implications would be really, really bad. Add all of that to every other character in Monkie Kid yelling at Sun Wukong for being a dumb idiot and/or terrible person, the absolute silence (except for some very brief flashbacks) on Sun Wukong's thoughts about any of this, and the "chaos monkey uwu" framework that Sun Wukong and his journey is already commonly understood through in the west (plus this weird reluctance and even refusal to consider what happened in the og classic that I've seen in some circles), and it feels like a lot of the Monkey King & co.'s nuance, complexity, and more fascinating aspects are being erased from common western perceptions of Journey to the West. And YEA obviously a silly lego show isn't going to get into the theological & moral complexities of a ~1,400 page novel, but given that Monkie Kid seems to have become one of THE primary ways that a western audience is being introduced to this story, I do wish that there was more of an effort to at least acknowledge what happened in the og classic.
IDK, in terms of Monkie Kid maybe future episodes will finally give us some answers for what happened to the og pilgrims that will be satisfying. Maybe they'll finally provide a decent aswer for why the Monkey King betrayed his sworn brotherhood and became a isolated failure who's hated by basically everyone who actually knows him. But as it currently stands I just think that if you've got a plot where the shifu and tudi pair now barely interact & a fan base where a significant portion is THAT quick to think the absolute worst of the Monkey King even though this is literally a silly lego show about having adventures with the Great Sage, then you really need to pause and think about why we're at this point :I
