Hi I was just reading some old post and I just stumbled across the fact John Fox apparently not only Wally descendant but Kyle also???, where the fuck is that imply or said or even hinted at? cause that kinda hilarious.
@givemewallywestorgivemedeath will probably have more information, but it was established in Justice League One Million, apparently. They told me that ages and ages ago, but I still haven't gotten around to reading it (rip), so I don't have any panels or screenshots to share.
Though if Kyle's gonna ever have kids, the writers need to get on that. Someone's gotta break the curse dooming all that man's canonical love interests or we're never gonna get John Fox or Cary Wren. And if Jenni doesn't get her Lantern buddy, I'm going to be very sad.

Negotiation
IZ*ONE's Kang Hyewon x Male Reader Smut
4,491 words
Categories | daddy kink, power dynamics, titjob
Tumblr media
It's your usual route, to be completely clear: circling up all the newbies, clearing out the incompetents and training those who had more than a pocketful of potential. It's your job, it's what you're paid to do. So if anyone dared question your bond with any of the trainees, they can complain about it to your face, and not in the form of scattered whisperings throughout office cubicles.
Your intentions are wholly pure. You swear on your mother's life. You'd pull the typical blame-it-on-the-femme-fatale thing with this girl, but you know it's somehow your fault, too: whatever might happen. She can't bear all the weight of the sin. 
You don't think sin is supposed to look this good, though.
"Sir," she says, perfect curled lashes fluttering with no ill intent at all. She's innocence, pureness, angelicness—all compiled and composed into one beautiful young girl. "Good afternoon. My name is Kang Hyewon; I'm more than eager to do my best for you."
In what way? you're tempted to ask. But then those exact words tumble from your mouth, and you're pretty sure you've fucked it all up. You, in your holier-than-thou suit and tie, asking something so suggestive to an innocent girl like her? Outrageous, that's what it is; scandalous, too. You could get fired for it.
However, it's as if she expected it—she leans forward, offering you a show of plentiful cleavage that breaks several dress code regulations and ethical rules, with a soft, rare smile. 
"However you want me, sir," she says sweetly. Resting her chin on her hand, the smile on her full lips grows wider. "I'll do anything."
"I've heard something like that before, Miss Kang," you say. "Strangely, I've heard it from the same person, too."
"Oh?" Hyewon assumes an innocent naïvety, wide doe eyes almost convincing you of a clean record. "How so?"
See, she's kind of used to that subtly flirty banter. Somewhere in the city of Seoul, in a humble little apartment, she's learning to make money in other ways. By doing it, she needs not travel lengths of distance to a corporate building or spend day after day spell-checking papers. You, having checked backgrounds of probably a billion people and verifying their digital footprint as decent or in-, know all about it. Might have watched a few of it online. Might have done some stuff too.
"You might've fooled Nana and the others, kiddo, but you haven't fooled me," you inform her, offended that you actually have to tell her. You're lowering yourself down to keep up with her one-step-ahead talk. She may be playing dumb, but she knows what she's doing. "I know all about your secret streaming account. Thing is, it probably isn't a secret. You've got thousands of followers on it."
"Can't a girl have a little fun, sir?" asks Hyewon with a giggle. "I was just playing games to pass time."
"'HyemsterKang' ring a bell?"
Hyewon looks up at the ceiling, as if she could find an appropriate answer for your inquiry embedded there. There's none: only a switched-on lamp and a vent. 
"Hmm," she hums, curled hands supporting her pretty face, "probably. What kind of account is it?"
"There's Twitch, YouTube, you name it. Twitch has the most followers, with over two hundred thousand. It's a surprise no one recognized you when you walked through the front door."
"Why would anyone recognize me? I'm just looking to enhance my skills here."
You're tired already. "Cut the bullshit, Hyewon," you say. Drop all the formalities and workplace language just like that. "You know what kind of videos you make. And, look, you've got to understand that I've got nothing against them, but anoth—"
Hyewon pouts. "Why are you so hot and bothered then, sir?" 
"Because you can't pretend to be some pure, holy girl here. I would've gotten you on the training course if you didn't lie through your teeth. What we need is honesty, transparency. You can't lie on the job here."
Hyewon seems to consider this. Her eyes lose their glimmer as they look down to your desk. And she looks so… sad: her eyes are, as mentioned, downcast, and there's so much more to them than sadness because they hold so many raw emotions of disappointment that make even your heart hurt. Her saddened shoulders lose their sturdy posture. 
For the first time since she's entered your office, Kang Hyewon looks… defeated.
"Does that mean you're not taking me in, sir?" she says after looking up at you again.
"No, and please," stress this with gritted teeth, "don't call me sir."
You've no idea why you feel that way. Many other girls have called you sir, both in a formal and informal setting. There was Kim Minju, whose experience gathered little to no potential, and Yabuki Nako, whose aspiring dream to become your corporate's airline stewardess was a pipe dream due to her petite height. 
But it feels strange with Hyewon. It's like there's some hidden motive behind it. Whatever it may be, it's surely working.
Hyewon juts out one, plump lip as she rises from her seat. Instantly, your boundary alarms go off. They're blaring like ambulances now, running in purposeless trips around your mind. Interviewees are not supposed to do that. She's crossing the line, so many lines.
What sets more alarms off is her taking a seat in your lap, as if she's always done that before. As if she belongs there. 
Her slim, tiny body presses up snugly against your frozen one. "What would you rather be called, hm?" she asks. Like a good girl, her hands are folded neatly on her lap, (un)fortunately covered by a gray skirt. "Please, do tell."
"Hyewon…"
You try to give her a steady look, try to tell her that it's wrong. But your hands are on her waist, and they subconsciously pull her closer. Damn her and that sexy skirt and blazer. 
"Mm, your hands feel so good on me," she sighs happily. "It turns me on so much. It makes me feel warm here," she pats the space between her thighs, "and it's all your fault, sir. All your fault."
"You need to be taught a lesson, Kang Hyewon."
"Go on then, daddy." Hyewon's voice drops to a haunting whisper. "I deserve it."
There, you let go of all your morals. The fact that Hyewon's supposed to be your interviewee and you're supposed to play professional with her becomes nonexistent. You've seen what she does on those videos, and now you're eager to see the body she hides so chastely under those uniform clothes. 
"Bend over."
The obedient Hyewon gets off your lap and lowers herself on the table. Her skirt rises and shows you a lack of even undershorts to save the exposed thong. Her ass cheeks sandwich the thin little thong perfectly.
"Ooh, what's daddy going to do?" she asks eagerly. She wiggles her round butt into your sprawled hand. "Is he going to spank me and make his babygirl count it all?"
"That would be too easy, don't you think?" Groping her, you look hard into her sparkling eyes full of excitement. "Daddy's going to spank you, but you can't make a single sound."
Hyewon whines. "But that's so hard, daddy. Can't you make it easier for Hyem?" 
"So am I, and no. If I hear you moan, you're not allowed to cum." 
Merciless is the perfect word to describe you right now. But your mind just rambles with lustful things to do to this sexy little vixen—(a hamster, if you will, as an ode to her username HyemsterKang, but that sounds less sexy; it doesn't give justice to the seductress that is Kang Hyewon)—and you're eager to perform them ruthlessly. 
Trail your fingers on her wet pussy lips. You find her clit, and from there, you give it tiny, teasing brushes. Hyewon bites her lip hard, and clings to the table for support. And for a moment that's all there is to it: you rubbing her clit and her grinding her round ass to your fingers. Until:
"Ahh, daddy!" 
That's one orgasm subtracted from the list. After you slap Hyewon's cheeks with all the might you have, she instantly cries out. You feel her juices dripping on your hand. 
Hyewon looks back at you. And you realize why her streaming career has done so well—that face is made to be ruined. Her scared eyes portray an opposing desire for more, and you can't help but give and give exactly that.
"I'm sorry, daddy!" she whimpers. "I'm sorry!"
Nevertheless, you continue to spank her. Reddened skin blares almost as bright as the office lamp. Her thighs drip with her nectar. 
You're harsh; your hand's starting to hurt from yout endless slaps on Hyewon's butt. But the pain seems like a small, sideway thought when you're witness to her cheeks bouncing with each blow. When she's holding onto the table like she wants you to go on. 
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," sobs Hyewon. "Please just spank me like that, treat me like a whore, use me—"
Your spanks become less and less measured—one follows the other a little too briskly. If the door weren't locked and the glass made it so any outsider couldn't hear, people would assume you're already fucking her with your brains out. But no, that's just you spanking Hyewon to teach her a lesson, to teach her to be a good girl.
"Fuck, slap my pussy like that!" she yells. Her pants sound hot and eager. "I'm going to cum, oh yes, oh fuck!"
That's your cue to stop. Hyewon doesn't deserve to orgasm yet, not until she's learned her lesson.
"This is so unfair, no," whispers Hyewon disappointedly, turning around with a pout. 
"Newsflash, Hyewon: the world isn't fair. Nothing is." 
Slip a finger inside her and her knee-high-clad legs curl around your hand protectively. She's riding on any good thing; she wants nothing more than your cock, and besides that, probably a job, but anything works for now.
Hyewon works herself down on your fingers. "When will I get to cum, daddy?" she asks. "Daddy? Say 'now,' please."
Execute blunt thrusts into her slick pussy, which is an impossibly tight cavern not even the bravest can make it out alive without exploding. Her back curves and she twists at the pleasure. Her delectable little cunt is sweet and closed around you, a newfound temptation to latch on for life, a vice to remember.
But there's also her fantastic chest to look at, doing what you're doing: peeking through the neckline of her blouse, which you just so happen to do as well. 
"If you give me a feel of those tits," you propose, the way negotiations should go, "maybe I'll let you."
"Of– of course, daddy." 
Hyewon undoes the buttons of her blouse. Like curtains, they part to a wonderful show. This show, though, would have been banned for nudity and corruption (and not in the usual way.) 
Hyewon's tits are glorious—they size up to more than a handful, and have these tiny pink nipples that you'd love to squeeze any time of the day. You're hypnotized by them, in every way possible. You glance at how they rise and fall in coordination with Hyewon's breaths, and the way her nipples perk into the air hard and aroused once the black lacy bra is off. The air-conditioner wind might have had something to do with their state, but you're thankful for both, either-which-way.
"C-careful," begs the young girl, wincing. "They're sensitive…"
"Is that so? Would it feel good then if I did this?"
"Oh, ohhhh!" Hyewon gasps with a hand over her mouth. Her skin feels boiling hot, but in a strangely good way, when you begin to suck directly on her nipples. "Yes, just like that!"
Her breasts are softer and better than the stress balls your office gave away during mental health seminars. The balls are only good for squeezing and throwing. In Hyewon's case, you can completely release all your stress just by fingerfucking her tiny pussy, and sucking her tits all at the same time. With her, you forget more than your morals—you forget about work, your deadlines, your responsibilities. And, needless to say, it's all her fault.
Hyewon can't keep up with the doubled pleasure. She's constantly squirming to have your fingers deeper in her cunt, and she keeps pushing her breasts into your face. Your rhythm of thrusts in her hole doesn't wither, and neither does your sucking on her right nipple. She doesn't know what to do except squeal out replayed pleads.
"Daddy," she says. "Please keep doing that, it feels so good. I'll be a good girl, I promise I won't lie anymore."
You ride your teeth around Hyewon's areola, sucking the area around it also. If you could, you'd never let go of her breasts. You would keep sucking on them, alternating between one and the other, for days on end. You bet you'd survive even without food or water. Hyewon's tits are enough for you to live eternally. Hell is nonexistent when you're with her.
"Do you think you deserve to cum, Hyewon?" you ask. You play with her clit, making it harder for her to get her words out.
"I think so, d-daddy. Yes."
"I don't," you laugh. "I told you not to make a sound, and you disobeyed. How would you become a competent worker if you're like that?"
Hyewon's near tears. "I'll do whatever you want," she says. Breaths get lost here and there due to your fingers still swiftly exiting and entering her. "Please. I need you. I'll, I'll be your good little fuckdoll, I promise, I swear."
"Will you let me fuck your tits, then, Hyem? If you're that good and eager?"
"Yes, daddy!" 
Hyewon nods over and over. A bit too excited, she pushes you down to the office chair rather roughly. But you pay no mind; in fact, your erection grows harder and lengthier at her enthusiasm. It throbs violently with how Hyewon slips off her blazer and pulls down your pants.
Her eyes brighten at the sight of your member, as if it's something that can actually make her day better. 
"You're very hard, daddy." She bites her lip, looking up at you with incredulous adoration. "Let me do something about it."
Hyewon's huge tits hug your hard-on, sandwiching it between them. You groan as she holds her chest so that your cock slips in and out seamlessly, lubed up only by her spit and your precum. Her soft flesh brushes your sensitive, pink penis perfectly, giving it a feel of what heaven might actually be. 
"Holy shit, Hyewon," you sigh. 
It's like she's entertained by what she's doing, too. She's looking down at your cock entering her flesh as if it were an exciting movie. But she takes extra care to seal longer glances with you, knowing that her face alone can make you cum.
"Oh, daddy likes my tits, huh?" Hyewon says coyly. Playing with her nipples while titfucking you, her gaze grows more and more sultry. "Daddy's gonna let me cum after this, right? Make me learn my lesson?"
"Just… just keep moving your tits like that. And we'll see what happens."
Not a solid promise, but Hyewon is satisfied with that. She knows her power and how to use it well enough. She's practiced in the strokes and squeezes she does on your cock, the temptation calling for you  in her brown eyes, everything. She has it all measured and listed down somewhere, probably, just waiting for the right time to use it.
Hyewon lifts her breasts, then slams them down on your lap again. The cycle repeats, and her boobs become like that of a real fleshlight. But hers is better—a toy pales in comparison when paired up with Hyewon's tight, hot body. And all it took to have her was a spanking session. There was no need to shed thousands of won.
"Like this?" she asks. Hyewon's letting you use her for your own pleasure, caring for your bliss rather than hers. The grip of her bosom around you tightens, and you find it difficult to catch your breath. "Do you want me to keep doing this?"
"Fuck yes. You're such a good girl for me right now, Hyewon."
Her cheeks are rosy. "Thank you. I'll make you cum, I promise."
She's made probably a hundred of oaths from the moment she walked into this building, but this one seems to be the one she's most determined to carry out. Hyewon's fiery rhythm risks you of exploding all over her pretty chest. Her smooth, pillow-soft skin knots your stomach and sets everything ablaze. Her facial expressions, which are a far cry from the saintliness she pretended to possess earlier, drive you off the edge.
"Shit… shit, I'm going to cum," you announce in a broken voice.
You can't stave your orgasm off anymore. Your dick expels liquid white strings everywhere. Hyewon's collarbone and big breasts bear most of the desirable damage, but she's sure to open her mouth, too. And she looks every bit the part of a cock-hungry slut, with her eyes rolled back and tongue lewdly hanging from her thick pink lips. White semen becomes her new lip gloss, and she'd put it on any time of the day.
"You still have more in you, daddy," says Hyewon. She strokes herself around your cock without pause. Curses leave your mouth as her evil gaze challenges you to say the opposite. "I can feel it. I want you to explode all over me."
"Fuck, yes, Hyem. I fucking will."
There isn't a single bad movie out there that matches the rapid pacing of Hyewon's titjob, and it's probably for the better. You just keep on cumming, and Hyewon keeps on titfucking you. It's a win-win situation because she enjoys being sprayed with your cum. It makes her feel like the used little doll she is.
She forces you to spurt more up until you can't anymore. All there's left are little droplets of pure white, and ragged moans from both ends. 
Hyewon's blouse and chest are stained all over. But when she gazes at the mess you made on them, she doesn't look upset. She looks rather… turned on. Her squirming thighs and bitten lower lip indicate that. She may look like a porcelain doll with her angelic face and pale skin, but she's been used just like a ragdoll would.
"Did you enjoy that?" she asks. "You liked it, didn't you?"
"I did," you confess. "How wet are you after all that, Hyewon?"
Hyewon reaches under her skirt and brushes her fingers over her pussy. She gasps. "Oh, v-very wet, daddy. Won't you do something about it?"
"Yes, I will. Get ready."
Both you and Hyewon rise to your feet. You step out of the rest of your pants while she shrugs off her blouse. Now, she's only wearing her black schoolgirl skirt and her long socks with shoes. 
Hyewon hops on the edge of your desk. "Will you really fuck me this time?" she asks hopefully.
"A deal's a deal, Kang Hyewon. Now spread your legs."
She opens them. You lift the skirt up to get a view of her pretty hole. Her pussy lips are plump, just like the painted lips on her face. 
(You want to fuck both.)
So, you thrust. 
All at once Hyewon is filled up to the brim, your balls pressing against her ass. 
"Oh, oh, so deep!" gasps Hyewon. "You're so big inside me!"
Your cock throbs. The clench of her walls is amazing, but they're also tempting you to cum again, and you can't have that. So, you set slow but forceful strokes, driving yourself inside Hyewon and feeling her walls part. Her surprised moans guide blood to your erection. The expression she wears never goes far from orgasmic, and she might as well be already cumming with how tight her hole's clamping on you. 
Wrap your hands around her tiny waist. You're ready now. You start to drill her tiny body down your desk. She cries out and leans her head backwards, allowing you to see how much of her neck you've covered in cum. Her glazed breasts bounce before you, getting your cock in an increased solid state to pulse and thrust in her hard and good.
"Yes, daddy, fuck me!" she prods you on, just like how your cock is prodding at her insides. "It's so good, daddy, it's so good, it's so good—"
She's promised to make you cum and delivered it out. Now, she wants you to make one, too, and return the favor. And, even if the only thing you're offered in exchange are Hyewon's loud screams that sound in your ears and her half-naked figure that's straight out of a porn video, you're glad to do so.
"Guess you aren't so innocent after all," you laugh. You're trying to keep custody of the upper hand here, but, god, does Hyewon's cunt choking your cock make it nearly impossible. "All that pretense, Hyewon, don't you get tired?"
"Oh, daddy," Hyewon sobs softly, arms hung around your neck and shoulders. Her eyelids are heavy, too wrung by pleasure. "If it gets you to fuck me, I don't mind at all."
You find her erogenous zone and rub it in the same, fire-quick way you thrust. "A little too fast there, don't you think?" you chuckle, but you're flattered.
"All I want is you going fast inside me." Hyewon's legs tense up after you grab them for easier leverage. Her moans are cut short with stutters. "I want it now."
"And what exactly do you want, Hyewon?"
"I—" She blushes furiously. Her words rarely come out in any form other than squeals. "I want to be your little office cockwarmer. I want to do nothing but be the toy who sucks daddy's dick and keeps his cock hard. I don't want to be anything else, daddy, and you know it—you know I want it—"
"Oh, you will." Pumping into her harder, you set the stone there and then of your ownership of her. "You're mine now. Everyone's gonna know about how you get on your knees for me so easily, Kang Hyewon. You'll be known as my little office slut, the one who keeps my stress relieved."
"Yes, yes, you can fill me up all the time, you can make me wear the slutty secretary outfits from my streams, daddy! Use me, oh god, I'm yours!"
It's a tempting offer. You've seen her streams while looking through her background, and you saw that one of her in the tight little secretary uniform. You think of how pretty she'd look in it, and how heads would turn at her entering your office everytime in it. You picture the outrage that does nothing since you're at such a high position in the office hierarchy, such an important person. They can't do anything if you decide at once that Hyewon's going to be your cumslut. They can only create rumors painting you out to be the exploitative bad guy, and Hyewon starring in the role of the poor head-over-heels newbie desperate for a good life.
You can live with that. 
The inches of your length never get to breathe as you're constantly shoving them inside her, knocking against her cervix and making her sob for more. There's no limit to the pumps you can give to Hyewon, but you still test it out. Hyewon remains at your mercy.
"Are you going to be my slut now? Do you really want that?" you ask her. "Or are you going to back out because you're too much of a pussy to dive in?c
Grab her chin and force her gaze at you. That's how you see that Hyewon's completely serious. That's exactly what she wants. She didn't come here for a job, she came here for you, and she's not leaving without being yours.
Hyewon nods. She presses her forehead against yours. "I want you," she whispers. "So make me yours. You know you want to teach your whore of a babygirl a lesson. You know you want to fill her cunt everyday."
That's right, you do. You knew, since the minute she spent teasing and toying with you, that you want to fuck her brains out. And here you are, doing exactly that. 
This could be forever if you wanted. 
"Gonna cum now, Hyewon. Gonna fill your cunt up with daddy's semen. Gonna fucking breed you."
"I'm close, too, daddy. Give me your cum."
You make sure to press completely against her cervix when you cum inside her. Hyewon's girl cum and your white fluids mix together, a blend of sex and sin, and drip down your table. You can't really think of anything else except for Hyewon's screams climbing up in volume and her squirt spurting all over your best uniform. No, you're brain-dead with lust, and there's no turning back.
You make her your cum deposit. You make her your babygirl, and as corny as it sounds, straight out of a bad teen romance where everything goes too quickly for any talent to be actually seen, you're okay with that.
-
"And that's how I think that we should promote the book earlier this year. Thank you for listening."
The clan of higher-ups sitting at the oval-shaped table clap politely. You try to keep your clapping at the appropriate level of enthusiasm, but your heart bursts with pride for Hyewon. She's come so far without your help. She's learning to stand on her own.
"I think that's a great idea, miss Kang," says Miyawaki Sakura, your director. She's a petite woman with a soft voice, but everyone knows that she's the boss of any room she stands in. "I'll jumpstart the idea tomorrow with the board of directors."
Hyewon flushes with happiness. "Thank you, miss Miyawaki."
"I do have one concern with miss Kang about the presentation, though," you pipe up. "Miss Miyawaki, do I have your permission to speak about with Hyewon in private?"
Now everybody's looking at each other. They try to keep themselves decent, but they all know what you mean. By now, your sexual relationship with Hyewon is an open secret. It might not be eligible for the title of secrecy anymore since all of the office knows it. 
But what can they do? You're the best in your team. You run too many things that keep the company going and they can't risk your loss. 
Hyewon waits for the director's response with bated breath. Her hands fiddle with each other as she waits for a response.
"Of course, sir," replies Sakura finally. "You may go."
You and Hyewon exchange glances. The two of you know exactly what your "talk" would be about.

"Say one more word and I swear I'll cut out your tongue." You say looking at the young prince of the night, who reciprocates by looking at you amused.
"Uncle Az, tell your hound dog to stay put." Nyx replies, as he rises from the chair in the meeting room we are in. For a moment you forget about him and end up looking around, and you wonder if little te knew this would happen to her in the future, if she would believe it. When Azriel found you, hiding in a cave not far from the Illyrian camp from which you had escaped, he was shocked at how long you had lasted alone in the woods. It had been weeks now since you had managed to escape what was left of my family, yet you still had not managed to wash away completely the blood of your sisters that had remained under your nails.
After your parents had died, my father in battle and my mother in childbirth, the chief of our tribe had decided to assign you to the only relatives left for you and your sisters namely your uncles, evil and mean people who had only money in mind and how to accumulate more and more of it, and because of this however small you were, you had to start working right away. Also living with you was our mother's mother, a bigoted and unintelligent woman bound by the stupid traditions of the barbaric people of which I am a part, who from early on you knew would present a threat to your wings. Not a day went by when she did not complain that you had not yet bled or find ways to make it happen, but you in response had studied every book and document you could about it and made sure to find every remedy you could to delay the arrival of what would spell the end of your last freedom. And the same you did with your sisters when they began to grow up, honoring the memory of your parents by asking them for help every night.
After spending years and years being a slave, on your twentieth birthday you woke up with red-stained blankets and immediately a new fear took its place in your body. You could already hear voices coming toward the room you shared with your sisters, and without a second thought you had jumped up waking the other two girls and telling them to take what you had prepared to run away. Within minutes you were already running through the woods, looking for a safe place to live for a while until you figured out how to do it. Over time you had also learned to hunt, and so you were not afraid to live in the woods; what you were afraid of was your family.
A little over an hour had passed when you heard voices coming from behind.
"Baby, I don't want to hurt you. You know we have to, it's time for you to become a real woman." Yelled your uncle in an obnoxious, sarcastic voice, and you only increased your pace, which soon turned again into a hopeless race dragging your sisters toward what you hoped would be salvation.
"Do you really think those wings make you somebody! You are nothing if a little slut trying to escape from a future that is already written! Hurry up and I promise I won't rip your wings off, just keep playing hide-and-seek and I'll take all the time I can to do what I want with you!" Yells your uncle again, before laughing out loud. "Do you think we haven't found your stupid plant books, to delay your bleeding, do you think we're that stupid? That alone could be enough of a death sentence for you, do you really want to make your situation worse!?" He continued, and you felt a cold chill run down your spine. For a moment you thought about turning yourself in, then the image of all those girls you had seen suffer or even die for what they had done to their wings came into your mind, and so you began to run even harder, until you found yourself in front of a cave. You had found it a while ago, trying to catch something in the woods, and it had seemed like a good hiding place. You told your sisters to go inside, while you went for a second to retrieve some weapons you had hidden in a hollow log two minutes away from there, intimating to them to keep quiet if they did not want to be discovered. Yet all was in vain.
One minute. Sixty seconds. Twenty blinks. One moment.
It only took a moment to kill your sisters. Your uncle found them, and because they tried to escape he killed them on the spot, stabbing them in the stomach.
You arrived at the moment when you saw the youngest among the three of you fall, the one who being the eldest daughter you had the pleasure of holding first, while the middle one was already on the ground lifeless. You saw in her eyes the life slip away, like sand running through your fingers.
"So you won't run away like your useless sister." Said your uncle, looking at her handiwork before turning away. "Where is he right now, anyway? He abandoned you, he doesn't even have the courage to face me, yet he has the courage to leave you here to die." He continued.
"Turn around asshole, and face your fate." Whispers your sister, dying, amid blood spit on the ground and moans of pain. "I hope his blade is as sharp as your tongue." She continues, before telling you with her lips that she loved you, and then letting the life that animated her flow out of her.
Your uncle turned and for a moment his face was crossed with pure and simple fear, coming the anger that animated your face. A few simple sword movements, and in a few seconds he was in front of you on his knees, praying to your goodness, which in his regard had left you years ago. Blood gushed from his lips like lava from a volcano as you watched life fade away behind his tar-black pupils.
"I hope you will suffer as much as you made us suffer, and that Mother will have a special punishment for you. You killed the only family I had left, and for that I will take from you what you took from me: life." You said, looking down into his eyes. He spat in your face in response.
"Do you think you are so much better than me? You too will take the life of another human being, even your hands will be stained with blood, you and I are not much different." He said, before spitting more blood at my feet. "Besides, do you really think they will not notice that I am not going back to the village? Do you really think they won't come looking for me and find you here with all these dead people? Do you think you'll get away with it? O deluded little bitch, they will kill you, and then there we will be in the same cage before Lucifer."
"See you in hell then." You whispered before finally cutting his neck and letting his blood create a pool at your feet.
For hours you felt like an automaton as you carried your uncle's body out of the cave and buried it not far from there. Once you had stowed away all the earth, you turned to where your sisters still lay and for the first time truly felt their death strike you with an axe blow to the chest, whereas before you were too busy still brooding over anger and revenge. In a few steps you found yourself on the ground, your hands grasping their bloody clothes as you clutched them to your chest, crying hot and bitter tears. You screamed in every language you knew against every deity you remembered, as you begged anyone to take you in their place and let them live their lives. You spent the whole night crying and screaming, so much so that by morning you had no voice left. Once the sun came up you realized what you looked like. Your arms were completely bloody, especially your hands, where blood had even gone under your fingernails. Long minutes passed before you conceived the fact that you had to bury your sisters as well. This time, however, was different. You found a beautiful clearing full of lavender flowers and laughed at the irony. You had always loved lavender very much, and your sisters always teased you about it, and now the place where they would find peace would be just that. You slowly dug two pits next to each other in the shade of a willow tree, and gently placed their bodies, wrapped in blankets, as tears continued to stream down your face. You looked one last time at their bodies, so small and helpless at that moment, before covering them with the earth. Once finished you lay there on top of them, waiting for the dead to come for you too, feeling guilty for their death and for killing a man, seeing the blood still staining your hands. You screamed, cried again as you had done the night before, then you heard a rustling in the plants, and like a vision your sisters appeared to you holding hands with your mother, surrounded by shadows. By now it had become night, but you did not even realize it too engrossed in crying.
Immediately you were frightened by the scene and jumped to your feet, then you calmed down and realized that you had not gone crazy, but there were really them in front of you. You ran toward them, and tried to hug each of them three times, failing, and falling all three times into the void. Immediately the tears came back to you.
"I thought I was dead. I thought I had atoned for my sins, and instead I'm still here. I don't deserve to live, please do something help me." You asked, kneeling in front of them, looking down, and at that moment you felt like a gust of wind settling on your shoulder, so you looked up and saw that your mother had placed her hand on his shoulder and was looking at you fondly.
"My child, do not think that our death is your fault. You, on the contrary, did everything you could do. You must keep fighting, you cannot let yourself go like this. You must live for us, too." She said, but you shook your head, not believing you could.
"I am not so strong mom, I allowed them to hurt them. I-I don't think I can go on alone anymore. I am not strong enough." You whisper, as you go back to slump on the ground.
"Don't even think that. You have come this far, you must live for us too. We will never abandon you, we will become your janitors." She said making a gesture to indicate the shadows that surrounded her and your sisters. As if they understood the topic of conversation they moved toward you, twisting like a snake along your arms, until they reached your ear and whispered something to you. You were not even surprised to understand them, no matter how surreal this situation was. You watched intently as those night-colored pythons came to life around you, until you looked up again and saw that your mother was now retreating with your sisters, back to where they had come from.
"Where are you going!? Don't leave me!" You screamed, getting up and running toward them, but the shadows held you, like worried hands holding someone dear.
"You can't follow us where we go love, now we have to go back where we came from, we have already been away too much according to the rules. Take care dear and remember we love you. Enjoy every second of your life, don't remember the past, create a new future." Those were your mother's last words to you as your sisters waved goodbye, also with tears in their eyes.
At that moment I became a shadowsinger.
And so you returned to being alone, in the middle of the night, surrounded by shreds of darkness that moved with a life of their own.
"My lady must go and wash the blood off her clothes, and she will attract wild animals." The shadows say in your ear, as they urge you to get up. You resist a little at first, to be guided by them, who like an invisible wet nurse took care of you, for the first few days where you still had to get used to the situation. A week later you were fully back to yourself, and nothing could stop you. You kept moving from one place to another so they would not find you until one morning you heard a rustling among the plants, but your shadows that time told you something different that struck you.
"Honey, this time the one chasing us is someone like you." They said, as you were setting a new trap to catch some small game.
"Like us, you mean another shadowsinger?" You asked confused, torn between wanting to escape and wanting to know.
"That's right honey." They replied, before going forward.
A few minutes passed before a man, an Illyrian, emerged from behind the plants, but you soon realized that you did not know him.
"Hello." He said first, smiling slightly as he put his hands forward to show you that he had no hidden weapons to hurt you. "I would just like to talk to you."
You looked at him wary, then you saw a shadow emerge from his back, exactly like those adorning your shoulders, and immediately you felt understood. You saw his shadows go to his ears, as if to report something to him, and immediately his eyes widened as his face changed, looking at you with sorry eyes and a sorrowful smile on his lips.
"You are also like me. "You affirmed as you approached, he without warning embraced you, holding your slender, exhausted body in his mighty arms.
"I'm sorry." He said in a choked voice as he gently stroked your back. "Who has passed away?" He asked, trying to understand how you had managed to get what for him was a curse.
"My mother and sisters. They failed to protect them. My mother I failed to save all those years ago, while the others I left alone, and my uncle killed them." You whispered, as you let go in his arms in a desperate cry.
"Then you really are the girl from the village they are looking for." He said as he looked into your eyes, and you saw tears forming in his, as if he also remembered at this moment a past and distant pain, still alive in him though. "They sent me to find you, saying that a crazy dangerous murderer, but I think they actually are." He continues laughing, before asking another question. "Where is your uncle?"
"I killed him." You said in a hard, impassive voice and then looked at him coldly, or at least tried to, but the fear you were feeling clearly shone through your eyes. "I will accept whatever punishment you want to give me, but please don't take me back there. I ran away because they wanted to clip my wings, and now I'm afraid of what they would have in store for me, and I suspect it's worse than death." You asked, as more tears ran down your face.
He shook his head, before taking off his jacket and laying it on your shoulders.
"My dear, you will come with me, I will never take you back to that shitty place." He said softly as he stroked your face, and for the first time you felt the scars adorning his palms, and you were shocked by the contrast between his soft voice and his rough skin.
"I am Azriel, the High Lord's chief spy, and you will come with me to Velaris, where I will teach you everything I know about the shadows we share. After all, I've always wanted a little sister, and I'm sure Cassian will be impressed with your skills as well." He said, as he pointed you to a place in the forest devoid of trees. "I have to warn you though, we're a little crazy as a family." He continued, but you froze.
"Wait, I have to do something first." You said before running one last time to that lavender field, to which you had gone every day to see your sisters.
"It's not goodbye, it's goodbye. I will be back soon, as soon as I can. I love you all. I will live for you." You confessed at their graves, amid sobs before returning to Azriel.
He looked at you with compassion and together you took off into the air, and only when you arrived in Velaris did you realize that your life had really changed, and that a new adventure was beginning.
"Hey baby all right?" You eventually hear Azriel's voice, concerned, as he leans over the table to take your hands. You are the only one with whom he shows physical affection, trusting only you, and of course Gwyn, whom you regard as a mother.
Over time your relationship has proven to be more like that between a father and a daughter than between a brother and a sister. He has from the very beginning taken care of you, and you of him at times when he needed it, you have always supported each other, and a bond flows between you that is stronger than just a blood bond. You look into his eyes and see his doubt gripping him, but it still does not invade your mind, leaving you space. Nyx also seems to have quieted down. You and he have never gotten along too well, ever since you first met. You have been part of the Inner circle for ten years now, but the two of you only met five years ago, since he was studying on the mainland before that.
He, from the beginning saw you as a rival, and even being a couple of years younger, felt that his place as a protected and beloved prince of the court was being undermined by you.
He never understood the real reason why his uncle took you with them, and that was also because you had never shared your story with anyone outside of Az and his mate, not wanting others to see you as weak.
"Yeah all right, I was thinking about how not to kill that asshole during the mission." You say, trying to sound convincing, and apparently succeeding because everyone is giggling, outside of Az and Nyx who don't look very convinced.
"Oh come on Lucifer, we both know that the better of the two is me." He tries to comment, but you can still read the uncertainty in his eyes not believing your words.
"In your dreams Acheron." You answer, trying to let the nickname pass.
The next day, at dawn you find yourself on a mission in the woods near where you had grown up. A feeling of fear covers your heart and mind ever since you set foot here. Like a flooding river, memories of your childhood wash over you. Rhysand didn't know this place was steeped in trauma for you, or he wouldn't have assigned it to you, but if you had told him, you would have proven yourself unequal to your role as his court's deputy spy chief, unable to separate work and private life.
"We need to go to an Illyrian camp nearby, apparently there has been some insubordination." Nyx tells you, not remembering that you were also at the meeting her father had to describe the mission. "Hey, you look pale, are you okay?" He asks worriedly, turning to look at you.
"Since when do you worry about me Acheron? Aren't you getting soft?" You say, stepping past him as with confident steps of someone who has been down that road a billion times before, you move like a snake, with elegance and fluidity, through the trees of the forest. Out of the corner of your eye you see the boy step into a trap, which has been there since you were a child, which an old hunter always puts in that hole.
"Be careful putting your foot there, there is a trap." You say atonically as you continue walking. He stops and looks carefully at where he was about to walk to see that indeed you were right.
"Well I'd say you're mellowing, too, honey. Is the cold-hearted witch thawing out?" He asks with amusement as you without stopping or turning around give him the middle finger.
"I love you too baby." He continues, in response to your gesture, and you shake your head in response as you can't suppress a silly little smile appearing on your face.
"How did you know there was a trap anyway, it was really very well hidden." Comments the prince of the night, as he takes great strides to catch up with you.
You pause for a second, thinking whether to tell him the truth or tell him to go to hell again. You don't know what is getting into you but this place makes your head spin, and you feel like a poor, lonely, helpless girl again. The shadows surround you like a shield since you arrived, as if they, too, sense the familiarity of that place. You look into his violet eyes, which in the little sunshine coming in through the tree foliage, take on a lavender-like hue, and again it feels as if a prick comes sharply into your stomach and knocks you to the ground.
You see in his expression concern and sincerity, and this sends your system into a tailspin, which, as if it were nothing, opens up a deep, private part of you to him.
"I grew up here, I know these woods well." You say not looking into his eyes, too caught up in your emotions that are running through you right now. The shadows close even tighter between you, almost creating a cocoon.
"I didn't know that." He replies.
"Nobody knows, nobody but Az and Gwyn." You counter.
"He found you here then." The boy affirms, while in the shadows he tries to look around.
"Yes, not far from here." And you almost can't hold between your lips <<and near here I buried my sisters, a little farther away instead is the cave where they died at the hands of my uncle, whom I killed and buried near there>>, but fortunately you manage to hold back.
A few seconds pass in which neither of you really knows what to say, until you decide to confess other things.
"Nyx, the village we are going to is the one I ran away from when I was 20 years old with my sisters. Everyone there hates me, but I don't even think they would recognize me, however, I wanted to tell you before you see doing something stupid and reckless for no reason. At least you know some context, it seemed right to tell you." You say as you resume walking, but he grabs one of your two wrists with his hand and stops you.
"How come you ran away?" He asks with a seriousness you think you've never seen in him before.
"They wanted to take away the only thing that made me free: my wings." You answer with equal seriousness as I see his jaw twitch in anger.
"Who wanted to do this to you? Your parents?" He asks as disgust is evident from his tone.
"No, it's a long story." You try to answer without giving too much information, but immediately you feel something, guilt, making its way inside you. "Maybe someday I will tell you, but this is neither the place nor the time to do so." You continue, before starting to move along the forest. Nyx does not counter and follows your steps silently, always, however, staying close to you and in silence, as if she has that at this moment, the slightest thing could destabilize you and that you need someone right now, who without your asking, should help you survive from drowning in your memories.
You arrive at the village shortly after, and for a moment you feel like you have traveled through time. Nothing has changed since you left, and that gives you the chills. Immediately people begin to look at you askance, and within seconds you find the village chief standing in front of you. He is still the same as when you were there, an elderly gentleman with poor eyesight and a big heart. He was the only one who supported your choice to keep your wings, but the council had overtaken him and there was nothing he could do about it, he had confessed to you once while your family was still waiting for you to bleed, but he was already deciding your future. He looks at you with squinted eyes, trying to focus on your figure.
"Hello, we are here about the small riot that happened here a few days ago. The High Lord sent us." Says Nyx casually, with a smile on his face. You had decided before you left not to say your identities right away, so as not to arouse hatred as soon as you arrived, but you obviously hadn't told Nyx about why, though now he knows.
"Oh certainly, this way guys." Says the elderly gentleman, smiling at us. "But you didn't have to go to all that trouble, it was just a bunch of stupid kids who decided to make some trouble. There was no need for the High Lord to send any of his people, but we really appreciate you coming." He continues, as we cross the main street of the village.
"High Lord Rhysand is keen to let it be known that he is always available to his subjects when needed." Nyx replies very diplomatically, as he has been taught. You stop and stare at him, as you walk along, and think that deep down all those girls falling at his feet are not wrong. He is one of the most handsome boys you have ever seen, if not the most handsome of them all, with those violet eyes and perpetually disheveled night-colored hair. He is smart, but at the same time reckless, funny and kind, in short the perfect boy everyone dreams of. Immediately you freeze, and blush when you realize what you're thinking. You hear the shadows laughing in your ear, hearing your thoughts, and you under your breath curse them. You look around and realize you've stopped in front of what used to be your little piece of heaven: the bookstore. It was a tiny, musty place, and full of dusty old shelves, and run by a sweet and loving little lady, whom you treated like children.
When you were little, you spent hours in there, so much so that eventually the lady hired you as an assistant, making sure that your aunt and uncle didn't force you to stop going to that place to go to work.
It was never very busy, but it had a small circle of trusted customers.
Now, however, it is a ruined place. The window glass is broken, and the now-worn sign has fallen down. The shelves have all fallen, one on top of the other like bodies of soldiers wounded in battle, piled on top of each other. A dusty mist fills the store, while on the ground one can still see marks left by flames, while nothing but ashes remain of the books.
Nyx seeing that you stopped, stops in turn, apologizing to the village chief, and coming to see if you were okay.
"Hey, are you okay Lucifer? If you want, you can wait in one spot, and I'd be back to you in five minutes, I swear I'd be quick and then we'd run right out of here and not look back. You don't have to do all this if you can't." The boy says sympathetically as he takes your hand in his. That gesture makes you turn toward him, and then look at the older gentleman who has also turned back, and he looks at you smiling.
"I felt like I knew that smile." He says, looking at you as he strokes your face with one hand. "It seems like a lifetime since you and your sisters left. I see that life has treated you well." He continues happily, and you feel a pang in your heart.
"Life apparently has only treated me well." You say while remaining vague, and immediately he seems to understand, and with a sweet gesture, typical of a grandfather toward his granddaughter, he kisses your forehead lovingly.
"I'm sorry little witch." He whispers, and you smile at the nickname, which he had given you when you were still playing at making potions out of mud in the camp.
Nyx meanwhile was looking at you more and more confused, but he does not ask you anything, realizing that this is not the time for his questions. The shadows move agitated, too caught up in all those emotions.
"What happened to the bookstore?" You ask worriedly. "Is the lady okay?"
"She passed away shortly after you left. Her family did not take care of the store and let vandals destroy it." Confessed the elderly gentleman, sorry.
You are about to respond, angry at the people who allowed part of your childhood to be set on fire, when you hear a voice from down the street that chills the blood in your veins, that of your aunt.

Media The Artful Dodger
Character Jack Dawkins
Couple Jack X Reader
Rating Sweet AF
Tumblr media
Requested: Hey really love your blog <3 I'd like to request a Jack dawkins one where she is autistic and has a meltdown because she got overstimulated + too much emotions and Jack maybe panicking a bit because he doesn't know what's wrong and she is rocking and kinda hurting herself through stimming. Just hurt/comfort stuff. Kinda specific so only if your comfortable with it but would be very happy about it. Thank you ♡
Warning: Panic Attack / Overstimulation / emotioanal meltdown / stimming / Nail picking / Nail biting /
I sat, my knees pulled to my chest, my mind a flood with thoughts, feelings, and every other thought in the world. Everything had just overflowed so I had run up to our room and hidden away from the world. Tears flooded down my cheeks, picking at my nail beds beyond the point of it being painful, my body uncontrollably moving back and forth to rock myself. I heard the door open and immediately didn't want to have to deal with explaining myself. 
"Ahh, There you are Y/n." Jack smiled as he shut the door, "I've been looking all over the hospital for you," He laughed as he came over and kissed my forehead, which was enough for me to almost scream and move away, he noticed and put some space between us. "What have I done?" he asked but I didn't have the strength to speak, "Ohh come on sweetheart what have I done? You have to tell me you know I hate you being upset with me."
"Y-You haven't done any-" I forced as I tried to speak,
"Have you been up here all afternoon?" He asked and I nodded, "Then talk to me, what's made you so upset?" He asked, "And please stop doing that y/n." He said trying to make my hands stop picking my nails, but I slapped his hands away "Please, I don't know how to help sweetheart. You have to tell me so I can-"
"Enough!" I yelled putting my hands over my ears and trying to just sit quietly,
He was silent and sat on the bed keeping a distance between us, he was slow and gentle with his breaths keeping loud enough that even if absentmindedly I began to follow them, he waited for a while before he spoke up, softly and gently. "I just wanna help." 
"I know... I know... I'm sorry,"
"You don't need to be sorry. I know you... get like this sometimes." he said, "I guess this is from, Everything down there."He asked and I nodded, "Alright, I wanna help. Just tell me what you need me to do, take as long as you need." 
"I'm sorry-"
"It's Alright, my fault for not noticing you were like this. We can talk. I can help. or we can just sit in silence whatever is gonna help." 
"Silence. for now."
He nodded and for a while the two of us just sat together with the only sound of our breathing, the room darkening as the evening rolled in, after a while, I took his hand and set it on my head. He smiled and gently stroked my hair "You ready to talk?" he asked and I nodded, "Okay, I'm listening."
"Today just... got to be too much."
"That's okay, it has been very hectic today. I'm proud of you for coming up here and taking time for yourself." He smiled, "Come on you talk as much as you need to I'll be here to listen."
I let out a sigh, "It's all been too busy, so many people and they are all complaining about nothing, and the nurses are getting irritable with me because I can't find anything where they moved the cupboards around last week, and it all got so loud, and hot, and I couldn't find anything, and I was already uncomfortable being on my own all day and my socks are very tight and it's uncomfortable!" 
"...You done? That everything?"
"I think so."
"Okay," He nodded, "It's all okay sweetheart, it's over now. No more work, we can sit here in the dark together if that's what you want. I'll even leave you alone if you'd prefer."
"No, I'd like you here."
"Then I'm very happy to stay" he smiled, "You wanna sit in the dark?"
"Yes please,"
"Okay, No worries. I like the dark." He smiled still slowly stroking my hair, "I know this is hard for you, and I'm happy you let me in even after a little while, I feel terrible I keep kinda forgetting what you like sometimes."
"It's okay. not on you to deal with my nonsense."
"It's not nonsense. It's you. and I love taking care of you sweetheart." he smiled, "I know what might help." he said briefly grabbing something from the side, "Would sock owl help?" he asked giving the small owl made from old socks and fabric cuts in his hand I nodded and took the little owl giving it a squeeze feeling the various stuffed fabrics move a little as I did, "There, better?"
"Yeah thank you, Jack." I smiled,
"You're welcome." he smiled, taking my hands and kissing my fingers where I had picked them so much they had bled, he gave each a kiss before cleaning my fingers and wrapping them up in bandages "There, all better." He smiled, "It worries me when you get this bad, you know it's the one thing I don't like you doing. You need your hands, and your cute little fingers, we work and live in a hospital sweetheart you need them, and it's the place most in contact for infection, I know it... what you feel you have to do. But you have sock owl, and me, I'd just really rather you try working on some other types of stimming when you're like this. Okay?"
"I'll try Jack."
"That's my girl." He cooed, "You think you're okay enough for a cuddle?"
"Yes." I nodded giving him a tight cuddle,
"Aww hi, sweetheart." he smiled kissing my head, "You feel better?"
"Much better, now you're here."
"I'm glad I could be so helpful to you, and I'm glad you feel better Y/n."

My thoughts on the Wicked movie teaser trailer... so far.
Before you pop off in my replies and reblogs yes I know, this is just a teaser trailer and not the official tralier. Regardless that doesn't give this movie a magical critique pass. Most of my critques on this teaser come from my own thoughts and some of points raised in this post. This is also just me rambling into the void. Don't like don't read lmao.
If you've been following me for a while, then you already know my opinion on the Wicked movie and casting. Surprise surprise, you guessed it... I am extremely underwhelmed and disappointed. For so many reasons.
I'll start off with some things I like.
Johnathan Bailey is hot asf as Fiyero. (even if he looks way older than Fiyero is canonically meant to be)
The set and props. I think some of them actually look pretty neat. I'm glad they didn't use a green screen for Shiz and put in the effort to build a university campus. The train from Shiz to Oz looks kinda dope. I was always wondering what it would look like and I'll probably use that as inspiration for my fics and art comms.
Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard. I won't lie, I haven't seen a lot of movies with Jeff in them so I was cautious about his casting. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see how much his look and his performance so far actually fits Oscar. Time will tell if he can hold up to those standards.
I'm happy a WOC is playing Elphaba. Everyone complains about Fiyero not being racially book accurate but nobody talks enough about Elphaba being discriminated against as an amalgamation for rac!sm. More women of color should play her on stage.
THE NAILSSSS. Come on people this is the Wicked Witch of the West we're talking about she should be SERVING WITH THOSE CLAWS! Although personally I would've preferred them sharp but I'm over here with almond arylics what do I know lol.
I'm happy they casted a disabled actress to play Nessa. I always wondered why they never did that.
With that out of the way, let's get into a million reasons why I hated this trailer and why I'll most likely hate the movie anyways.
Arianna as Glinda. Look, I don't hate Ari. I like some of her songs and even bought some of her perfumes because I like smelling good. At worst I just don't care about her. However whenever I see Arianna as Glinda, I'm sorry I just don't see Glinda, I see ARIANNA GRANDE dressed in last minute cosplay for a Halloween party. I heard one line... ONE LINE from her and the delivery is NOTHING like Glinda's character or cadence, it's just Ari in drama class.
The wigs and costumes. What the hell was the makeup and hair crew thinking when they selected that wig for Arianna???? It's an ashy dull blonde that brings no color or life to the character. The #1 thing about Glinda is her vibrant blonde hair, it's even mentioned IN THE SONGS. MULTIPLE TIMES. This wig looks like a botched bleach job. Then, there's the costumes. Good lord what are those glasses on Elphaba's face??? I get they're trying to be all "whimsy" and "peculiar" in tone with WOZ, but they just look silly. Why not stick to the glasses in the musical? Why overdo it? I fear how the Emerald City sunglasses will look (if they even add those in) Also why are Glinda's clothes so dull? Where's the vibrance? Where's the pink frilly coquette contrast to Elphaba's dark coquette?
The camera work and Elphaba's entrance. This is Wicked the musical. I'm expecting a huge and grandiose presentation, especially when it comes to THE MAIN CHARACTER. Showing Elphaba from the back of her head in slow motion while she's walking to the entrance is just... boring and an overused cliche. Not to mention the underwhelming reactions from the extras. The cinematography is just meh. I'm expecting better for a fantasy film. It's been done before.
Cynthia as Elphaba. Listen, Cynthia is a great singer and talented actress. I have absolutely nothing against her. With that being said I'm going to be brutally honest: much like Arianna, she is not Elphaba... at least not entirely. Like Johnathan, Cynthia is way older than Elphaba is meant to be canonically and the editing team clearly used the de-aging filter on her to the point where it looks unnatural. If this movie had been made at least five years ago or earlier Cynthia would've fit perfectly.
Continuing my point with Cynthia: the singing. I'm sorry but what the hell was that riff with Defying Gravity??? I'm not entirely blaming Cynthia for this because this has become a massive problem with a lot of musical film adaptations which I like to call the popification of songs. It happens in nearly all the live-action Disney movies and I'm sick of it. What confuses me is STEPHEN FUCKING SCHWARTZ is involved in the musical production. He wrote the god damn songs, how the hell does he not direct Cynthia to sing the right note instead of letting her do whatever she wants??? I don't think he did that with Idina, which is why this riff is so iconic. Come on, if a tiktok meme trend can do that riff better and more accurately than an actual singer can, that's just embarrassing. I'm not good at explaining myself in terms of singing, so I'm hoping a youtuber I occassionally watch does a reaction video to the trailer and does a better job at explaining than I can.
The acting. Like I said with Arianna, the delivery is so bland and dry. I'm trying not to judge all of the acting on a teaser trailer but if this is how the leads are going to act throughout the whole movie then I'm disappointed.
Too much CGI in some parts. I get it. This is a fantasy movie there's bound to be certain effects you can't do practically. But that's no excuse when this is a $145 million dollar movie. The flying monkeys are so painfully obvious CGI. This was a wasted chance to get Doug Motherfucking Jones to play Chistery in prosthetics. So much of this movie ends up looking like those garbage Oz spinoffs. (If you know you know) The CGI is just bad. The bubble and Emerald City buildings look so cheap.
WHY IS THIS MOVIE SO DARK? This is suppossed to be OZ! Why do I have to turn up my brightness to look into the shadow realm???
Now onto some things I'm confused about.
Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible. I'm praying to god she'll blow us away because she's such a good actress and is serving c*nt in her costumes. I haven't heard her sing (I'm dumb but unless the opera song she sang in EEAAO was her then WOW!)
The silver slippers. I KNOW! I KNOW! The ruby slippers are copyrighted and can't be thrown in all nilly willy wherever you please. But keep in mind this is a 145 MILLION DOLLAR MOVIE ALL FOR PART ONE. Do not tell me they couldn't shill a few extra bucks on signing a few contracts. AND YES I KNOW. The musical uses the silver slippers in the first act in ode to the L. Frank Baum books which I love, but don't forget, they turn red when Elphaba enchants them to give Nessa the ability to walk. Dorothy shows up after Nessa is killed and has her shoes stolen. Why aren't they red now? Not to mention most of the audience might not know the original slippers in the books were silver. This would've been a great chance to combine two different canons.
WHO IS PLAYING DR. DILLAMOND???? ifitisjamescordenandyouusecrappycgiiwillgotoyourhousejohnchuand-
Finally, why did John Chu absolutely insist on this being a two parter movie with a year long intermission? Is this shit show really that fantastical that it can be akin to Kill Bill part 1 and 2?
That's pretty much it for now but expect an update to this post with a reblog with updated thoughts when an official trailer drops. My mind probably won't change though. I'm totalllllyyy not considering pulling an Eddy Burback sneaking into Morbius for a week when this movie comes out lol.
Universal Studios and AMC theaters that was a joke please for the love of god do not send Nicole Kidman after me.

Brilliant!
[10th Doctor x Trans-Masc!Reader]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Summary: After years of traveling with the doctor, you accidentally spout out about how you identify. You had hid it the whole time you'd known him out of fear he'd drop you back off on earth out of disgust. That was the last thing he'd intended on doing.]
[Warnings; 900-some year old age gap (can I count that as a warning?)]
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
You were stupid enough to be messing with a piece of forgin spacecraft basically. You wanted to see what it was linked to, where it came from, and if it was getting any transmission signals.
So you began taking it apart. Yeah, just as I've said; not the smartest thing to do. Suddenly, it began whirring and flashing the white lights it had attached onto the top of it. Odd. Then it began blaring. Oh no. Then came a voice. Shit..
You take a few steps back from the piece of machinery and get your welding gun, protection I guess?
"WHO ARE YOU!? WHAT AM I DOING HERE!?"
The now what you assume is a battle robot or possibly even a life form, starts moving one of what you assume is its arm, and a blue glowing eye-like piece on its head.
Then it points another one of its "arms," up to you, starting to glow in a neon white color, making an awful whirring noise before flickering out and falling off from the body of it.
You were absolutely fascinated. Scared yes, but fascinated nonetheless. "What.. What are you?" I ask, walking closer as I look all around it.
"I AM THE DALEK! TELL ME WHAT DO YOU HAVE ME HELD HERE FOR!?"
This thing is incredible. You'd never heard of a Dalek before, but it surely was something. "I found you, I work in the engineering field and I was trying to see what you were or where you came from. I don't wish to hurt you." You put your welding tool down, seeing that the arm that seemed to be its weapon is no longer attached to it.
"RELEASE ME FROM YOUR CAPTIVITY HUMAN!" It begins rolling towards me, I back up slowly as to not let it get too close.
"Alright, I will but what did you come to earth for. Because surely your not from this planet or possibly even this galaxy, I'd never seen a piece machinery like that."
"WHY SHOULD I TELL YOU THAT!? WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU!?" The Dalek rolls even closer to you, moving its eye up and down as if its examining you.
"Because I haven't done anything to harm you yet, have I? If I wanted to kill you I could have already done it by now." You place your hands up in a defensive manor as it rolls backward.
Suddenly, you hear your door beeps as it opens, you turn your head to the door, revealing two people, one young girl and one man.
"God, not again. Seriously what is it with you science guys and the Daleks." The Girl complains, followed by a chuckle from the man beside her.
The Dalek begins to freak out, blaring and flashing its lights as it looks at the girl and the man, pointing its remaining arm at them and flailing it.
"YOU ARE AN ENEMY OF THE DALEK! YOU MUST BE DESTROYED!"
What? It knows these people? Why are they enemies?
The man looks at the Dalek and deems it unharmful after looking at its missing arm. "You can't hurt me, you haven't even got your gunstick." The man laughs at the Dalek, getting closer to it. Then he turns to look at you, walking up to you. "You just have the bloody thing roaming around your lab? You know how much harm it could've done if it had its gunstick?"
"Well, it kinda did when I was messing with it." You admit, looking blankly at him.
"Your lucky your still alive you know, I'm telling you Rose, the bunch of you humans are fools sometimes!" He looks at the younger woman that you now know as Rose.
You look at the man dumbfounded, 'you humans'? Was he not a human himself like the Dalek? Was that why he was an enemy?
Rose approaches you, pushing the man to the side, "Hello, I'm Rose Tyler and this is The Doctor. We want to know how you get ahold of the Dalek and if it had caused any sort of mayhem before?" Rose puts her hand out to me to introduce herself and the man.
You reach for Rose's hand, giving it a firm shake as you introduce yourself, "Dr. L/n, and how should I trust you two? The other man is just called 'The Doctor'? No name or anything? And he said 'you humans' as well, how should I trust he's not just som-"
The "Doctor," then cuts me off, "Dr. L/n, I can assure you that you can trust us, we're probably the only ones on this planet that you can trust." The Doctor says, placing his hands on my shoulders.
"I found it in what we thought was an smaller asteroid landing, I found the Dalek mostly unharmed other than a few dents, then I took it into here and started taking it apart. I had no clue what it was really, It hadn't caused any damage and no one knows about it other than me and a colleague that thought it was just some spaceship debris. Would you please get your hand off me?" I explain, then looking down at The Doctor's arms on my shoulders, trying to shrug them off.
The Doctor takes his hands off of me, turning to the Dalek, "Alright.. What should we do about you now." He says, putting his index finder on his cheek in a thinking manor.
"FREE ME!"
"No no, I'm afraid we can't do that. We could kill you and just scrap your battle armor. Though self destruction might be better for y-" You shoot up and stand in front of the Dalek blocking it from The Doctor cuttting him off.
"Why should we kill it? It's already vulnerable being it no longer has its weapon." I look up at him.
"Dr. L/n, we have to kill it. It doesn't even serve a purpose here being the rest of its race is dead. There is no reason for it to fulfill whatever order it was sent here for. This creature doesn't show pity or remorse and will kill anything and anyone in any way that it can once it is able to." The Doctor explains.
You look down at the Dalek and step out of the way between it and The Doctor.
"YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME DR. L/N! YOU ARE NOW AN ENEMY OF THE DALEKS!" The Dalek looks at me as it flails its arm about.
---------------------------------------
[Skip because I don't feel like writing a whole death scene for the Dalek]
---------------------------------------
Rose comes up to me and shakes my hand once more, "It was a pleasure to meet you Dr. L/n, though it wasn't one of the best ways to do so I suppose," She lets out a lighthearted chuckle.
"Pleasure to meet you too Ms. Tyler."
The Doctor clears his throat, "Dr. L/n, what experience do you have with extraterrestrial machinery?"
"Well, I've handled quite a bit for a number of years now. I'm usually the person the higher ups hand all that kind of stuff to, why do you ask?" I say, taking my goggles off my face and placing them on the top of my head.
"Brilliant! I was wondering if you would like to travel with me and Rose here." The Doctor's face lights up as he turns to look at Rose.
"He doesn't know how to fix his ship, he just bangs the poor thing with a hammer and calls it a day." Rose giggles as The Doctor looks at her in unamusement.
Traveling with what seems to be an extraterrestrial being that just told another extraterrestrial being to kill itself, and a young girl. Sure that seems completely safe!
"Ship? So you're from space I'm assuming, Doctor?" You furrow your eyebrows.
"Well, yes. But Rose here is a human, you'll have another one of you on it, that is if you choose to go with us, of course, Dr. L/n." The Doctor shrugs his shoulders and tilts his head to the side.
"Alright, I'll go, but what am I going to do about my job? I can't just leave."
"We basically have a time traveling ship, give them a two weeks advance and then you can leave the same day if you go with us." Rose says.
I look at The Doctor and he nods.
"Alright, lead me to your "ship," "
---------------------------------------
Its been years now since you'd first met the two. Now it's just you and The Doctor, as Rose had left a year ago now. You enjoyed your time with her and became good friends with eachother and wished she hadn't left, but you respected her decision.
Rose was the only one you had told about being transgender, she supported you and suggested you tell The Doctor, but pushed it off using excuses such as, "He won't understand it," and, "It wouldn't matter to tell him," but you were scared he was going to call you a freak really.
The reason for this was not just because you were afraid of losing a good friend, but because you had come to fancy him throughout those years.
You walk into the console room due to hearing banging, hoping it wasn't The Doctor trying to "fix," something, yet lo and behold, you find him using a mallet on the poor TARDIS.
"Doctor, if something is wrong with the TARDIS you could just ask me to fix it, you know that." You walk towards him, your arms crossed with a look of unamusement on your face.
The Doctor looks at you and places the mallet down, "Ah, Y/n! Great now you can go and fetch me the sonic screwdriver from the living area, I'd left it there when I was working on something else."
"Doctor, you don't need the sonic screwdriver, or this mallet, to fix this, let me do it." You say, grabbing the bag of your tools to look for the needed things.
"Watch, for stuff like this you only need a bit of electrical tape, wire cutters, and a couple of these wire butt connectors." You say, grabbing one of the faulty wires in the console.
"You splice the wires, taking off about a quarter of an inch, then you place it with the colour corresponding wire, connect in with the butt connector- are you even listening?" You look up at The Doctor to see him looking at your face.
"Yeah, yeah I'm listening don't worry," he says, leaning onto the railing on the console.
"What had I just said then?" You eye The Doctor for a second before going back to your work.
He stayed silent for a second, before saying, "Wires." He shrugs.
You roll your eyes and get back to working on the TARDIS. This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this, but yet, it didn't upset you.
"Y/n, I've wondered about your family. You never talked about them or anything of the such, why's that?"
Your family wasn't the best. After telling them you were transgender the only people that supported you was your dad and most of the family on his side. But everyone else, including your mum and your siblings cut all contact with you right after.
"Oh uh, I don't really talk to them anymore." You say, continuing your work.
"Why?"
Before you could stop yourself from saying anything you would regret, the words flew out from your mouth in desperation to be let out.
The one thing you told yourself you wouldn't do was done. You couldn't take it back or pass it off as a joke, the damage was done.
The Doctor just stayed silent, what appeared to be a look of confusion on his face.
You could've apologized and run off to your respectful room in the TARDIS, but you just sat there staring at him silently. You didn't want to loose more people because of your own choice to be something that you weren't born as.
"Y/n, I'm so glad you told me. Why hadn't you told me sooner?" The Doctor engulfs you into a hug.
Before you knew it you began crying. You'd never been so relieved and happy about something.
"You don't think I'm a freak?" You sputter out, trying your best to make it sound clear.
"No, Y/n I could never. I think your absolutely brilliant! I don't think I could ever have a more brilliant companion, really." He says, grabbing onto the both of your hands.
There was a peaceful moment of silence between the two of you before The Doctor broke it. "Y/n, can I tell you something as well?"
You nod your head.
"I'm in love with you, Dr. L/n." The Doctor says, looking at you as if you were the only thing in the universe, the glow of the TARDIS making his eyes glisten it that gorgeous caramel brown colour you adored.
That's the first time he's called you that since a little while after you two met.
"I love you too, Doctor."
You could see his eyes flick down to your lips before one of his shaky hands reaches for your cheek, he leans in and closes his eyes as he pulls your face closer to his, finally closing the gap between the both of you, placing a gentle but passionate kiss on your lips that lasted a couple of seconds before the both of you pulled away, breaths short.
He looked absolutely gorgeous in that moment, his messy hair sticking up from all directions, a lopsided smile on his face, an a deep blush spread across his freckled face, the TARDIS glow illuminating it.
"You're absolutely brilliant, darling." He says, placing another kiss onto your lips.
The universe had the best intentions for your life and you could never ask for anything better at that very moment.

The Man Who Killed Batman
I admit to being a little dismayed by the view I was seeing. I'm not precious by any stretch of the imagination, and my Pa would have lectured me until my ear fell off if he had seen me pull a face at somebody else's housekeeping, but this place needed some real T.L.C.
There were some attractive planters to the right and the remains of what must have been pretty flowers in pots arranged haphazardly, but the overall view of the grounds was a dismal one. I skirted around an overturned and rusting wheelbarrow, stepped over an abandoned rake, and made my way to the front door. The sign on the door almost made me turn and leave. 
"No soliciting. No reporters or press. No autographs," I read aloud. The, "Huh," I added was because I'd never seen anything so unfriendly in my life.
Since I was a reporter — and even had a mint-condition copy of Detective Comics #50 in my bag I secretly hoped to have signed — I should probably have just turned tail and headed for the hills. But my Ma never raised a quitter. 
I knocked twice, nice and loud. Then I noticed the actual state-of-the-art speaker system to the right of the door and felt a little foolish. I pushed the shiny white button and waited patiently. After an awkward minute, a voice came through the speaker.
"What do you want?" said a man's voice. I had a strange image of a curmudgeon shaking his fist at me and telling me to get off his lawn. The voice didn't sound old, exactly, but it certainly wasn't warm and welcoming. 
"I'm Clark. Kent," I said. "I was hoping to speak to Bruce Wayne."
"Regarding?" The tone was ice-cold, and I felt like squirming like the time I'd had to interview a known drug lord. 
"An interview. About Detective Comics. About the death of Batman."
There was a long pause before the voice returned with a snarled, "Sign says 'No reporters.' Can't you read?"
I ducked my head at the insult. But nobody had ever accused me of being a coward, or particularly on the ball when it comes to knowing when to back down. "I can, but can you?" I asked.
"Excuse me?" the voice snapped.
I was pushing my luck here, I knew. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.
"Well, it's just, if you could, you'd know how upset readers are. People have been writing letters to complain this whole week. Nobody understands the reason behind his sudden death. He's a beloved character, and this unexpected end to a popular story has upset fans. People want answers."
I may have overdone it because there was another long pause after my little speech that was just long enough I started to wonder if I'd been hung up on and left to stand on the stoop like a vacuum salesman. 
At last, "Been practicing that?" was the sardonic reply.
I was half relieved and half embarrassed. It was funny to get called out like that, but still feel some sense of victory because I hadn't failed yet.
"Just a bit. Please. I work for the Daily Planet. We're a good, fair, paper. And, well, more importantly, I'm a fan."
It was a risk — for all I knew he hated his fans since he put 'No autographs' on the sign same as 'No reporters' — but I would feel dishonest if I left without sharing this.
I reached into my satchel and extracted my copy of Detective Comics #50. Holding it still felt like magic after all those years of finally finding it. Each time I get to relive what it felt like to hunt it down, follow the trail, and finally unearth it at a garage sale — some dumb girl desperate to raise enough money for a trip to New York that she'd sold all her dad's comics after he died. 
I held it up before the camera. "This is my copy. It's my prized possession."
There was another long delay where I fought an anxious feeling that made me want to squirm.
Finally, the voice said, "I haven't seen a copy in years." There was something soft about the tone, almost nostalgic. Then the door buzzed and I heard the bolt slide back.
"Come in. Shoes off. Don't touch anything."
I exhaled and fought down the smile I felt curling up at the sides of my mouth. And then I stepped through the door.
*****
Started this a few years ago. This is what I put at the top of the doc:
For this story idea, Bruce is the creator of the Bat-Man comic book series. Then one day, without any explanation, he kills off the character. The death is quite final. 
Clark Kent is sent to get the story from Bruce — why did he kill off a very popular character?

Right By Your Side | Chapter 15 - Memories
Summary: In the world where wearing glasses makes you a different person. You were forced to swallow a pill that turned you into seven years old. Now, you're living with your crush in a small form, what would you do? Who were the ones who brought this to you? And, can you change back?
Chapter summary: Your brought Nat to the themepark once again to bring back her memories
Series Masterlist
It was finally the weekend and we gathered at the theme park. There were too many people to fit in Bill's small yellow beetle car so we decided to meet them at the entrance instead. Clint took the wheel and we set off just after 10am. The kids had a sleepover at Bill's house the night before so they headed straight from his house.
"Um... you haven't met my friends before but here they are. Amy, Hailey, Conan, George and Mitch." You pointed to each of them and said their names. "This is Bill, you've met him before your accident."
"Hi guys." Nat waved at them.
"Wow!! No fair Allie, you get to stay with a pretty lady." Amy and Mitch said while walking close to Nat and each held her hand, dragging her to the ticket entrance.
"Hey! Don't go without us!" You screamed making sure they were not going to get lost. At least Nat was tall enough to see above the sea of people. Not that much taller but tall enough.
"Ohh popcorn!!!" George saw a pushcart and immediately went towards it. Bill went after him because he needed to pay. Poor him.
"I swear he only thinks about eating." You mumbled under your breath as Clint laughed at the situation.
You heard Clint laughing and you turned to look at him. "This reminds me of my own family." He said.
"I didn't think you would come." You said to Hailey. She was always the type to stay at home and nerd out in front of her computer.
"Conan forced me to." She said flatly before walking to the ticket entrance as well.
"She can't be staying at home all the time!!"
---
You've been on a few rides and the crowd was still growing. This was evidently seen by the ever growing queue for each ride. The kids were complaining while queuing under the hot sun as there was nothing to keep them occupied. Even after snacking all the time, George's stomach still rumbled loudly.
"George!" Amy said.
"What? I can't help it."
"Why don't you go and grab another snack while I wait in the queue for us? I think we have to wait for another twenty minutes for this ride." You suggested.
"Okay!!" They agreed without hesitating and went out of the queue cheering happily. Bill had to follow them as he was their guardian for this trip. As much as you were the one who suggested the idea, you were slightly sad that they didn't even hesitate before leaving.
"Why don't you go with them? Clint and I can wait here." Nat said.
"No... it's fine."
The three of you chatted while waiting and approaching the front of the line. You didn't really talk much, it was mostly Clint talking about Lila and Cooper. Just as you were about to call Bill to make sure they didn't miss their turn, they came back with chips in their hands.
"Here! We can share them." Amy stretched her hands and you took a piece of chip from her.
"Thanks."
---
You stayed until it was darker in the evening as they were planning to catch the fireworks at night. After having dinner at one of the over-priced restaurants in the theme park, the kids started dragging Bill around to get souvenirs and toys from the store.
You took a look around and something caught your eye. It was a white dolphin keychain. Out of everyone that was hanging on the shelf, it was the only one which was not coloured. It was hidden amongst the rest but it stood out clearly because it was so special.
"Do you want it? I can buy it for you." Nat voice out of nowhere, startling you. Even though she hasn't unlocked her memories of her time with you, she felt the connection.
"Uh no it's okay. I just noticed that it was different from the rest, that's all." You politely declined before meeting up with Clint who was waiting outside.
"We better go and find a place to see the fireworks." Bill said as the time was approaching.
"Wait wait wait, I need to go to the washroom!" George said dashing off and once again Bill had to follow him to ensure his safety.
"Sorry guys." He said before rushing towards Geroge.
While waiting, the fireworks started and luckily, we could still watch a bit from where we were standing. You looked around and immediately noticed that Nat was gone.
"Clint! Where's Nat?" You asked anxiously. She wouldn't have just left without informing us.
"Wasn't she just here with us?" Clint also started to panic slightly after not seeing the red head around. Your eyes scanned the crowd thinking she might have left her spot to look for a better place but she was nowhere to be seen.
"Hailey, call the rest of the team and stay with the kids and don't move!" You instructed before running away to find Nat.
"Y/N!" Conan called out to you before also instructing Hailey the same and rushing towards you, knowing you would do something dangerous.
Hailey sighed as turned to the rest of the group which was really just reminding Mitch and Amy. "Let's go and find them shall we?" Hailey was also one of the smart bunch but she prefers to use the help of others to achieve what she needs instead of having to do it herself. So off she went first to the map of the place, thinking where everyone else could have gone.
You went off finding Nat, knowing her, she probably went off hiding somewhere and wouldn't be out in the open. You looked at the queue of the rides, all of them with little to no one because it was getting dark and people are more interested in the fireworks now.
Seeing the shadow of the person you were looking for, you dash forward even though the employees tried to stop you. However, Nat didn't see you, she only heard someone was chasing her and that made her run even faster. She may have forgotten how to fight, but her impressive stamina was still there.
Both of you ran towards a water ride, which doesn't not stop operating even though there were no riders. You watched as she jumped into the float and gave it your all to catch up to her in order to get into the same float.
Natasha screamed as she felt someone got in with her but you were quick to reassure her. "Hey hey, it's just me. Allie. Just me."
"Allie?"
"Yeah, it's me. Why did you run away?"
"I don't know? I thought I saw him, and I can't put you guys in danger."
"You can't-" You went to speak up but a bullet landed near us and started deflating the float. You started thinking as you were still on the water ride and there was no way of getting out dry. "Do you trust me?" You asked Nat seriously.
"Yeah, I do."
"Great! On the count of three, take a deep breath, and go underwater." You said before moving, checking where the shot came from and moving closer to the edge. It was dark and it would have been hard to see the target so you assume he was wearing night vision goggles. Having gone to the theme park so many times, you'd already memorised where this ride would lead and which others were closest.
"One, two, three. NOW." You pulled Nat underwater with you just in time as another shot went past your head. Using the floats around as cover, both stayed until your lungs were screaming for air. You checked on her as you were underwater and could clearly see her at her limit. Taking your chances, you pulled her up as you gasped for air. Seeing as the exit was near, you checked behind you if Rumlow was following and you could see him riding the float as well.
Grabbing Nat's wrist as you got out of the water, you began running towards a certain direction as you looked at the time. 7 minutes, I should be able to make it. You thought.
You ran to a particular spot with your hands still on Nat's wrist. "Stay down and hide, when I give you the signal, jump." You pushed her behind the rock and showed yourself to Rumlow.
"Who are you?" He flipped his goggles up since there was light shining here and it was messing his vision. Rumlow slowed his pace down when he saw a kid standing there unarmed.
"You know me." You could see Rumlow searching through his head and rightfully so since they've dealt with so many children who do not deserve to be taken away from their family.
"You're the one who shot Wanda. Your target was Wanda all along. That's why you pulled the trigger so quickly. Someone was telling you where she was." You revealed it to him. You may look very confident in front of him but you were shaking on the inside, afterall he was still holding a gun whereas you had nothing.
"What are you going to do about it?"
You took a step closer to him and placed both hands behind your back and he raised his gun at you at the action. Natasha came out from her hiding spot and he changed the target to her since she was technically the only witness and it's better to eliminate her while she still has amnesia.
Without a word, she jumped onto the slide that you were hovering around and followed after her. Seeing that both of you escaped again, another shot rang and a wrenched scream.
At the end of the slide, you took Nat's wrist again and started running towards a certain direction. "Why are you doing this for me? Isn't it easier to just leave?"
"Because I love you. I love you too much to leave." You said while running, not thinking too much and not thinking of the consequences. Nat was stunned at your words. You were just a seven year old kid. Falling in love with a thirty year old adult doesn't make any sense.
Perhaps you were just one of those kids that enjoys going around saying you love people to everyone. There's no way. Nat thought.
You ran towards something you recognised. An empty spot in a circular shape.
Just under a minute. It's possible. You thought
You ran towards the center with Nat and turned back to face Rumlow. Now trapped and nowhere else to run, he threw away his night vision goggles with his gun still pointed at you. With each step he took towards you, you took a step back. "You! You made this all harder than it needed to be."
"Don't think I'm going to let you off easily."
You were counting down the minute in your head and once it reached zero, water sprung up from the ground hitting Rumlow's arm in the way, creating a divide among the fountain. Unable to resist the force of the water, he pulled out of the way in frustration, yet another thing got in his way.
"You won't be able to get away after this. Once this fountain stops, both of you are going to die."
Seeing the scene in front of her struck something in Nat's mind. You set this all up for this moment, to reset everything so you could have an equal ground against Rumlow.
"Just give me a moment." You said while taking out the rocks you hidden earlier. Nat didn't say anything but you were too busy to question her. Throwing one up in the air, you see the rock split into two when Rumlow shot it, thinking it was one of your tricks.
In reality, it was just so you could see where he was standing so you knew where to aim. Charging your shoes up, you let go of the rock in front of you and kicked it with full force towards your target. You hit him right in the center of his forehead and he stumbled backwards.
Once he regained his posture, all he saw was Nat charging towards him and her fist connecting with his jaw.
"Ouch." You felt the pain for him as you rubbed your jaw.
"This is for hurting Wanda. This is for threatening Allie. This is for making me go through all this trouble and this is because I hate you!" Nat punched him harshly for each sentence until his face was almost unrecognisable with all the bruises.
I fell to the ground and chuckled dryly in relief that everything went well in the end.
"Allie!" You heard Hailey shouting from somewhere. She brought along a group of people, who you're guessing are the employees of this place with Conan and the rest of the kids and Clint following behind them.
"Natasha! Are you okay?" He went to check on his best friend that was standing slightly away from you.
"That was real stupid of you to bait him here." Conan said as they crowd around. "But anything for your girlfriend huh?" He wiggled his eyebrow teasing you.
"Allie has a girlfriend?" Amy asked.
"No. Too young to have one." You immediately replied.
---
Clint called SHIELD to bring Rumlow in as he was a high profile criminal that SHIELD deals with. After collecting our statement and congratulating Nat for getting back her memory, we went to visit Wanda. She still hasn't woken up but at least no one is coming for her now.
"I got you something." You looked at Nat and she took something out from her pocket. It was the white dolphin you were looking at earlier.
"Thank you. You didn't have to."
"It's alright. It was the only thing I saw you staring at. They said there was a only one since it was supposed to be painted like others and gave it to me for free." Nat explained.
"Thank you for saying it." Nat said out of nowhere. You gave her a confused look as you made your way to Wanda's room. "You said it because you thought I missed Y/N isn't it?"
"Uhh- umm." You stuttered and nodded your head, lost for words.
"Thank you." She bent down and kissed your forehead before entering Wanda's room.

You know, I get why people are upset, but this is just too much for one day. I know you're probably gonna say that you don't hate Roman or have anything against him as a person, you just don't like his booking and his character. But I'm not just feeling that, I've heard that too many times. What makes the whole sadder for me is that if it was your fave or anyone else in Roman's position, you'd be happy for them and celebrating their accomplishments, and wouldn't appreciate people hating on your fave harassing you for enjoying your fave. Meanwhile, us Roman fans have never been extended that courtesy. We can never have a moment of peace or happiness, because it's just always one thing after another, so much drama and complaining. And I just don't get it. How is that fair? We're just enjoying our favorite wrestler, like all of you enjoy your faves.
if its too much for you, then get off the internet for a while and decompress. if you actually follow me or look at my blog, i love roman. i love the character. i love the bloodline story. i even defended him in the past 24 hours for being part time.
i havent seen anyone hating on roman in this instance. we are complaining about THE ROCK. maybe i follow the right people or whatever, but i haven't seen any hate for roman. how can people be hating on roman when he's going to be at mania no matter what?
and "if this was anyone else you'd be celebrating their accomplishments" the same could be said about cody. if ANYONE ELSE was in codys position right now, everyone would be outraged (see: cm punk in 2013).
i do enjoy my faves, and yano what i do when i see people hating on my fave? i block them😊 the amount of time ive spent today blocking people who have been hating on cody, but what i don't do, is go to someone's blog and whine about how people don't understand my fave, that not everyone else in the world also likes my fave (and let's be honest, 90% of wrestling fans love roman, there's a reason he's been the champion for so long)
again, you mustn't follow me, because i don't hate roman, i do like roman, and i don't care if "you've heard that before" ive posted a lot about liking roman.
cody fans, no not just cody fans, wrestling fans, have every reason to be angry about this booking, and it has nothing to do with roman. NOTHING. its about a guy that hasn't been around for 11 years forcing his way into the mania main event by getting on the board of directors. and i truly think that if the rock gets his way, and he's the one to dethrone roman, all roman fans should be angry at that too. but hey what do i know? as long as it isn't cody, right?

Sorry if I'm late and you're no longer open to Thomas reqs, but if you are, would it be too much to ask for Tommy with a s/o whos really obsessed with him? Like very protective, even if it makes no sense and is more than willing to kill anyone who so much as gives him a slightly off look? I really hope this doesn't overwhelm you 💓.
Thanks for your request! I haven't written in a dog's age so this may have gotten away from me a bit 🧐
Hope you still enjoy it! 💜
Word Count: 1802
Warnings: Brief, canon typical violence
People, in general, never really got you.
Hoyt sure didn't.
After he pulled you over, you watched his approach in your side mirror: licking his chops as he adjusted his belt.
His eyes seemed unfocused until you mentioned "Ms. Hewitt", the lady you were looking for.
Your great aunt, the only mother you had ever known, still had every childhood pen-pal letter she'd received from Ms. Hewitt. Kept in a hat box, tied with a bow and topped with a black and white photo from the time their families had "met in the middle" on a summer road trip.
This was your road trip, and beyond making contact with this woman, you had no plans.
Your great aunt was gone.
WIthout the singular remaining point of light in your life, you had untethered yourself from everything, intending to drive until the car gave out.
The sheriff told you to follow him, and you did.
____________xxx____________
Your mind wiped itself clean when you saw him.
An expanse of shoulders, almost blotting out the sun from your vantage point.
An eclipse - but close enough to touch.
You were so dazzled you had to slam the brakes at the last moment, nearly colliding with the sheriff's bumper.
"That's my nephew, Tommy."
Huge.
Huge and wide and deliberately tipping his face down out of sight while wearing some huge black mask thing.
Your mouth was suddenly, unbearably dry. Your face and scalp were tingling. Your heart lurching in an unfamiliar way.
Were you going to have a stroke? Right here? In a stranger's front yard? In Texas?
You swallowed, somewhat painfully. You thought of how perky people on TV acted. Likable people.
"Hi!" Cheerful, with a little wave.
The sheriff raised his eyebrows a bit.
Tommy turned away quickly, as if he'd been struck, then briefly met your eyes and gave the slightest of nods.
He looked at his uncle.
"You can get back to work, son, we don't need you for the moment."
You were desperate to look at him again, but he was already on the move.
____________xxx____________
Ms. Luda was delighted by you. She didn't have any way to know that your easy smile and ready laugh was because you were buzzed.
You had taken one look at her behemoth of a son and not only was your mouth full of cotton, so was your head.
When she went to refill your lemonade, you pulled back the curtain on the window above the kitchen sink to steal another look.
"You must feel so safe here."
"What's that, hon?"
"I was thinking...when I was driving up. This big house. Set away from the road. No neighbors. I was thinking it was kind of scary. But you have the sheriff under your roof. And a big guy like that, too. What's going to get past him? Nothing."
You turned to find Ms. Luda watching you.
Watching him.
"You must feel real safe and protected here, I mean. I would."
You chugged your lemonade.
____________xxx____________
Ms. Luda beamed the moment you entered the general store. You hadn't even fully finished complaining about weak motel coffee before she put on a fresh pot for you.
In the moment you closed your eyes to take a deep inhale of your steaming mug, he appeared.
He froze, an enormous box balanced on his shoulder.
"Good morning, Tommy."
Ms. Luda turned from the register, and Tommy quickly nodded to you before making a beeline for a shelf.
As he started to shelve the canned goods, you heard tires squeal outside.
A gleaming pickup barely halted in front of the store before a young man all but tumbled out and approached.
The door was slammed open with such force that Tommy darted up and planted himself in a protective stance that took your breath away.
The glassy-eyed goon in the doorway stunk of beer sweat and swayed a bit before grinning at you.
____________xxx____________
You had only blacked out a couple of times in your life, and neither time had exactly been good.
It was disconcerting to suddenly resurface in your own mind, your own body.
To find yourself trembling in the back room of the store.
You were seated on a couple of stacked boxes, but how did you get there? To a room you didn't even know about? How did you find it? Were you carried? Dragged?
Ms. Luda was bent in front of you, carefully wiping your face with a blue checkered cloth.
Even in the dim light, you could tell the smears on the cloth were blood.
You tried to stand but your wobbly legs and Ms. Luda's hands pressing on your shoulders quickly ended that.
"Now you just rest here for a spell. Everything's being taken care of."
You took the cloth from her hands and pressed it above your eyebrow, where you felt a particularly pulsating pain.
"What happened? Ms. Luda, why am I bleeding? What the hell is going on?"
Ms. Luda clucked disapprovingly.
"Mind your language, child. And only a little bit of that blood is your own."
"My own?" Your voice broke with confusion.
"Then - who does the rest belong to?"
"That awful man. Drunk as a skunk at ten in the morning and rude to boot! You don't have to worry about him. Hoyt's got him now."
"He took that guy to jail? For drunk driving?"
"Mmm."
Confusion overwhelming you, the tears break through.
"But what happened, Ms. Luda? What happened?"
The door to the store room opened and Hoyt entered, a half smirk on his weatherbeaten face.
"You saw red, girlie."
You look at him.
"When you get so angry that all the civility disappears? When you meet that primal animal inside? That's seeing red."
You look back to Ms. Luda. Your head aches, and you currently have no capacity for riddles.
"When that louse tried to talk to you, you humored him to be polite. But then he started in on Tommy."
"Tommy?"
"Mmm-hmm. Called his mask a 'muzzle', and he barely got the words out before you cracked him in the face with the coffee pot."
You are on your feet and bolting through the door.
You expect to see glass, blood, something, anything. But there are no signs of an altercation. Even the cans of beans Tommy had been shelving were perfectly aligned.
"Everything's cleaned up already? How?"
"A lifetime of dealing with messes, sweetie. Anyhow. you've had quite the morning. You should rest."
There's a staticy feeling in your head and your limbs are still trembling.
"I don't...really think I'm okay to drive."
"Don't worry about that, hon. Hoyt'll take you to the motel to grab your things. Come stay with us at the house."
"At the house?"
"Of course. You're family."
____________xxx____________
The comedown from the adrenaline is swift and you fall asleep - more like pass out - on the drive back to the Hewitt's.
You're awakened by the lightest of touches along your eyebrow - where a bit of glass had struck you.
Bleary, you open your eyes and are almost swallowed whole by Tommy's concerned gaze.
He's kneeling at the open car door, worry creasing his brow.
He's close enough for you to smell leather, sweat, sunlight. Something tangy along the edges.
Inexplicably, relief pours through you.
You smile weakly.
"Hi, roomie. Can you help me upstairs?"
You were only expecting an arm to lean on.
Instead, after a moment of consideration, Tommy slides his expansive hands beneath and behind you, and sweeps you from the car in one movement.
As Tommy bridal carries you across the lawn, something beyond butterflies is filling you.
Illuminating you from the inside out.
____________xxx____________
Tommy brings dinner to your room.
After placing down the fragrant bowl of vegetable stew, he rocks back and forth from toe to heel, his fingers dancing nervously as his eyes zip across your face and body, never resting anywhere too long and dodging all eye contact.
"Wanna keep me company?"
A grateful release of bodily tension.
Tommy sits on the floor at your bedside.
"I can't really remember what happened today."
You frown and touch the cut on your eyebrow.
"Did I put up a decent fight?"
You know Tommy is grinning beneath the mask from the gleam in his eyes and the crinkles at the corners.
He gestures: your hand slowly wrapping around the handle of the coffee pot. A shockingly sudden swing. He shifts to his knees and keeps swinging towards the floor.
You must have sat on the guy's chest and just kept wailing, until nothing was left of the pot or you were dragged off of him.
Suddenly shy again, Tommy bashfully clasps his hands together and towards you, a gesture of thanks and gratefulness.
His obvious pride is going to bring you to tears, but you don't want him to know that.
"C'mere, Tommy. Closer. Back against the bed."
His huge chest forcefully hitches and the panicked eyes return.
It seems silly to say, but you do it anyway:
"I'm not going to hurt you."
Tommy slides himself across the floor, back to the mattress, and you turn on your side.
As he acclimates to your hand gently sweeping across his scalp, the tension in his neck and shoulders unfurls, and you watch him stretch.
Tommy luxuriates like a content house cat.
You intend to keep going until you hear him purr.
____________xxx____________
Ms. Luda looked a bit incredulous but proud.
Tommy was frozen.
Hoyt was Hoyt.
You didn't even like puns, but here you were, chuckling at one.
With yet another man's blood dotting your clothes.
Coffee Pot Guy had been hammered before noon, and his brother had been even drunker when he snuck onto the Hewitt's property after midnight.
Outnumbered, uncoordinated, absolutely blitzed: he hadn't been quick enough to reach any of the weapons he'd secreted on himself.
You had crept down the stairs during the struggle and yanked the hammer from the man's back pocket and slid it to Tommy.
You pointedly turned away and stayed turned until the sick crunching was over.
Bet he had no idea how hammered he'd get tonight.
Chuckling out loud at your personal joke.
Was this funny?
Depends on your value system, you thought.
"You guys...uh, you guys have this under control?"
Ms. Luda nodded.
Hoyt panted, still recovering from the struggle.
Tommy, oddly, sweetly, tried to cover the man's collapsed cranium with his hands when you looked at him.
An attempt - however futile - to shield you.
You smiled.
He still thought he was going to be the one taking care of you.
You would allow him to continue thinking that for however long he wished.
"Okay, then. I'll be going back to bed. Night, Ms. Luda. Night, sheriff."
"See you in the morning, Tommy."

So I agree with most of your fanon complaints but tbh I sometimes will still read fics with mildly annoying habits and just like, compartmentalize the parts that annoy me. I do it with the show too but I'm better at compartmentalizing with fanfic lol. Part of it is I follow a few really really good thoughtful fanfic writers so I haven't seen all of the stuff you've talked about. However I have seen the hiding veggies in meals headcanon & tho i didn't find it appealing or cute, it didn't bother me bc I interpreted as like an idiosyncrasy. Everyone's got em yk. my sister's friend is a literal genius, responsible, hard worker but also chaotic and will have these random Things that might make her seem immature. Like she does eat vegetables but if I heard that her boyfriend had to sneak them in her meals I wouldn't bat an eye.
That's completely understandable! There are plenty of things I don't like in fandom (either in this one or other ones) where I'm able to be like "I don't like this but the rest of the fic is good enough to ignore it" or "I normally hate this trope but I really like how this author wrote it". (I live by the rule that for all my complaining that anything can be tolerable/make sense if it's done well enough.) I used to be able to do that in this fandom but my tolerance level has dropped a lot lmao. It's much easier for me to do in say the Star Wars fandom. (Now that's a fandom with a lot of infighting!)
A big part of the issue is that it never is just one person or one thing lol. Someone writing something with a character being a bit childish or idiosyncratic is fine on its own, but when it's paired with a bunch of other questionable tropes or it's just done soooo much is when I start scratching my head.
Like I think I've mentioned before unrelated to this, but I do actually think that Steve probably is someone who likes to clean, a lot of the Stobin gang see him as something of a neat freak. On its own, Steve doing most or all of the cleaning because he's that anal feels really in character. It's when you pile all of these things on top of each other to where Eddie is doing nothing and Steve is doing everything that I'm like hmm. Don't like that.
Wrt to the veggie thing specifically... idk I guess you could take it as a quirky thing, but hiding vegetables in food hoping the person doesn't notice is literally one of the biggest stereotypical parent things I feel like? And I think it's having Steve specifically do it and Eddie not noticing that makes me side eye it.
Like lol, that's always the cliché, a kid moves out (normally a son) and you find out they aren't eating vegetables and only eating junk, so the mom has to do something to get her son to eat better. Which like I get it I have to fight with myself to eat healthy sometimes, most vegetables have a gross texture to them but lol my body feels better when I'm eating them so! It's especially the hiding aspect too like man Steve can even talk to Eddie about eating healthier? Finding healthy foods Eddie does actually like if he's that concerned about his health? He has to hide it like Eddie is a five year old?
And maybe you're right and it is meant to be more idiosyncratic but like I said, when you pair it with all the other shit fandom is doing it ends up feeling like just another way people have been writing tradwife/caretaker Steve lol.

Love and Other Drama
Chapter 4
"I can't do this Lena, I really can't" I complained. Lena rolled her eyes.
"You can and you will, I am not doing this project by myself" She retorted. We needed to meet with Chase to discuss his acting boundaries. I was not ready at all to meet with him.
"Uggggggghhhhhhhh" I groaned. We walked up to the door of the library and I took a deep breath. This was going to be insufferable. We opened the door to find a beautiful blonde boy beaming at us.
"Rory, my favorite guy!" He shouted, way too loud for a library. I cringed inward before scowling at him.
"Chase" I acknowledged. His face dropped a bit, but he held his smile.
"Hi Chase, it's nice to see you. Are you ready to discuss boundaries?" Lena asked sweetly. Sometimes I resented her polite nature. I wished she was a little more snarky to Chase. He smiled wider.
"Thank you Lena, it's nice to see you too" he said with a pointed look in my direction. "I'm more than ready to discuss"
"Okay, so we were thinking about a mental breakdown sort of thing" Lena began to explain.
"Perfect, I'm great at mental breakdown scenes!" Chase looked excited. "So why am I having a breakdown?" Lena was excited to explain. We had worked on this scene plan for days. We argued good naturedly about it for hours. We finally settled on a loose concept.
"You're at a party and this really popular guy asked if he could kiss you and you were drunk enough to be honest with yourself and say yes. You weren't even admitting to yourself that you were gay yet. You found out that it was a prank and he went around and told everyone. The scene is set in a bathroom where you're hiding from the rest of the party becuase you heard people talking about it. What do you think?" Lena asked.
Chase looked like he was gonna be sick and there was a hint of something that sort of resembled fear in his eyes. He noticed me looking a quickly covered it up. He plastered the smile back on his face. Lena was too wrapped up in a bathroom sketch to notice.
"I think it sounds angsty" he said, trying to keep his smile.
"Yes, we know that you love the angst scenes" Lena said. He tried to look thankful.
"Yeah, that sounds great. I'm just not really used to that y'know?" He breathed.
"You're not used to what? Angst scenes?" Lena asked.
"No, no. I'm great at those. I've just never played a character like that" he tried. I was starting to get angry. He always called me a boy like I asked him too, I had figured that meant he wasn't homophobic, but it was starting to look like I was wrong.
"A character like what?" Lena asked innocently.
"A gay character Lena, he doesn't wanna act gay" I fumed.
"No no no!" He quickly started. "I mean, yeah, but no. There's nothing at all wrong with being gay or playing a gay character. I just haven't done that kind of thing before"
Lena forced a smile, clearly thinking the same thing I was. "It's okay if that's out of your boundaries Chase, we can change things around if we need to. But, just know that everyone knows you're playing a character. No one's gonna think you're actually gay, people know you have a thing for Adelaide" He choked on air
"Adelaide?" He asked still coughing a bit.
"Yeah," Lena said confused. "You've been following her around like a puppy since we were freshman" I couldn't help laughing at that. He was not gonna like it.
"Adelaide follows me! I could never date Adelaide, she's like a little sister to me" he said looking like he was about to puke at the thought.
"Okay, okay. Well I'm just saying, no one's gonna think you're gay Chase" Lena said.
"No, no. It's okay. I don't give a shit what people think, I'll do it. I just was a little surprised by it is all" he backpeddled.
"Great!" Lena smiled.
I put on a fake syrupy smile, "We look forward to working with you" He still looked a little uncomfortable, but he smiled back.
"Me too Rory" he tried. Why was he so uncomfortable today? Who knows, maybe he is gay.

Hi, as a fellow Kevin fan, I just want to say; thank you for your rant 😊
I've learnt my lesson at Spain after the collision with Hamilton and therfore I don't really get a lot of social media updates regarding rants at Kevin. I follow some official accounts so I did see something, but mostly I've seen people call out the team for not helping Mick and so on. Which I think is fair, but it does end up becoming the focus rather than Haas getting points.
So maybe it's because I haven't seen people be angry at Kevin, but I'm not mad at Mick either. I think he did a very good job defending and I was sad he didn't get to get any points. But that's racing. I think his anger and reaction after the race was magnified by being in nonstop battles for a whole race and being the defending car is always though. I've seen it a million times before where the following teammate asks to overtake because the feel like they are faster and then become angry when they aren't let through (or they are let through and then the other teammate thinks they are faster and they have to switch again). It's annoying for me as a Kevin fan afterwards to listen to, but at the same time I feel like it was just his adrenaline and frustrations bleeding through, so I don't really take it that hard.
Something I have wondered though is the Mick fans talking about Gunther being mean to Mick and not supporting him? Do you know what that is about because I haven't heard anything and the comment really confused me.
Ps I didn't write this to devaluate your feelings on the matter, I just thought you might like to hear another perspective 😊
i respectfully disagree, mick started this behaviour during the race. he didn't care about what would happen to kevin if he had to slow down to let mick pass. and instead of understanding that would have risked kevin's race, he continued complaining about it to journalists even after being told by gary that they would talk about it at the garage. doing stuff like shaking his head and saying that it should be kevin that should have fought with hamilton. that is completely unnecessary and, in my opinion, goes beyond a disagreement with haas. perhaps it was not intentional, but it did end up having consequences for kevin who had to defend himself in multiple interviews. i don't think kevin deserves that. to me, that shows a lack of respect for your teammate.
haas did not do anything wrong by letting kevin keep his position, nothing in the data showed that mick was quicker than kevin without the drs. and mick knew he was in the drs range the entire time, but he still chose to keep pushing the team to allow him to pass kevin - only to not be able to hold the position as soon as kevin sped up and drove away from him. i am sure kevin was not going 100% because he wanted to save his tyres and manage fuel. like i've said in my post, kevin earned his position in quali ahead of mick. so mick basically wanted kevin to slow down to let him pass without even having earned the position. i don't mind him asking about the possibility of switching places with kevin, but i do mind him asking it several times and then bitching about it to the entire world, doing something as childish as shaking his head while leaving his car.
and i would remind everyone that kevin also asked to switch places with mick during silverstone because mick struggled to get past latifi. and k-mag did not get that position - and did we hear bitching about it afterwards? no. only a smiling kevin being happy for mick and the team. imagine that.
so much of kevin's amazing driving this season has been overshadowed by mick and the eager schumacher fans. first, it was how bad mick was in comparison, and now mick is getting to a similar level to kevin, he is once again doing it by causing a scene because he was not allowed to pass. i am honestly sick of hearing about mick every time kevin does good or bad. k-mag is his own person, he has been in this sport for so many years, driving multiple seasons before mick even joined f3. he is deserving of respect all on his own. i, for one, will start to post less mick content. there are already multiple blogs supporting mick, but barely anyone supporting kevin, so i don't need to add to that and right now i don't feel like supporting him.
also, the thing with guenther being "mean" to mick is just about guenther saying they are not happy with the two major and expensive crashes mick has had this season. and then sky germany forced guenther to say they were not satisfied with mick, even though it was clear guenther did not want to say anything. and then everyone got mad for some reason. at the time, what did they expect guenther to say? that he was happy with mick scoring no points and destroying the car? it's honestly stupid.

For the ship ask: Preciousmetalshipping after the events of Emerald? :)
Thank you for the ask, and sorry for the long turnaround time! I assumed you meant post-Emerald but pre-HGSS, so I wrote their interaction as somewhat familiar but not overtly romantic. Like they have feelings but they haven't yet realized them because they won't even admit they're friends yet. Hope you like it!
It should not have been this hard to find any dexholder on the island—since they were literally gathered not thirty minutes ago for the tournament celebrations. Exceptions had to be made though, because the missing dexholder was Silver and Gold was easily distracted by the festivities. Asking around mostly got him one answer: Have you asked Blue?
Guess who was also missing.
Their party of eight quickly dwindled as some had missions to report, and others also had people to meet, and soon Gold was on his own searching for Silver in a sea of thousands. That curly-haired chump just had to wish for this many visitors, didn’t he? 
Even Gold’s fiery energy couldn’t last after all the craziness and endless searching, and he had to give up before his legs gave out and plopped onto a tree stump he found. It was away from the crowds, which meant he could complain loudly without repercussion. 
“Jeez, after all I did for that guy, he doesn’t even show up to say hi or nothing!”  
Just then, he heard a rustling and a familiar voice saying, “Hi. You were searching for me?” 
“What the—!?” Gold swiveled around and nearly tripped on a tree root trying to get to his feet. “Silver?!”
Silver dropped down from a tree branch that Gold had no idea why he had even been on, and stood a foot from Gold. Wordlessly, giving zero explanation as though it were perfectly normal to be squatting in a tree. 
“Well?! What were you doing?!” It occurred to Gold that this encounter might not have been coincidence. “Were you following me?” 
“...No. Why did you want to find me?” 
“Uhhh....” Now that Gold thought about it, he didn’t really have a reason—he just felt like he had to find Silver. “...just wanted to see you’re okay after, you know, being a rock for four months.”
Silver’s eyes narrowed slightly, but Gold was going to pretend it was the sunlight and not Silver being suspicious of him. “That’s it? No other reason? You know I was conscious some of the time.” 
“W-what?! I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Gold sputtered, knowing exactly what he talking about. 
Silver seemed to take him at face value, however, and shrugged. “Okay, if that’s all, I’m leaving,” he said, and began to walk back towards the trees.
“Wait!” With his good reflexes (and totally not because he was panicking), Gold grabbed Silver’s arm, and to his surprise, Silver actually stopped and waited. Which Gold was not prepared for, and he blurted, “Uh... let’s go... hang out?” Silver’s brow rose and Gold would admit he panicked this time. “I mean—you can hang out in trees when you’re back in Johto, so don’t waste your time doing it here! Just... saying.” He realized he was still holding onto Silver during his speech and let go awkwardly, flashing his best nervous grin. 
“Hang out? I don’t recall us being buddies.” 
Gold’s anxiety snapped into disbelief. “You did not just say that.” Silver stayed silent, and Gold sighed loudly. “FINE, we’re buddies now, so you’re either coming with me or I’m dragging you around this damn frontier!” Somehow, Silver responded to a threat, however empty it was, better than anything else he had said, because he could sworn he saw a ghost of a smile on Silver’s face, but it was lost as Silver ended up shoving his shocked self from the trees.

August 26th, You know, if the Simpsons chronology was set 30 years after their original airing, Bart would be 13?
It's strange seeing this blog get followers whilst I hadn't written anything in a couple of weeks. But only followers. I have 1 note in total, not that I'm complaining, I don't really care. I've tried using Tumblr as an actual "social media" site, I guess. I don't care for it. Positives: actual discussions, actual interactions with people, art, better designed website (haven't tested searching), left leaning and welcoming, and suppermariobroth. That's it. I've always hated the way people write on here. The actual conversation is why better since the exodus but still can't stand the why people write things. I don't like the blog format. Reblogs, hashtags, poor comment system, the fact that if I see a comment/response to the post it shows the OP's number of notes, opening specific posts. I much prefer the forum style, I will probably only use this for art. But I do respect Tumblr. A relic of a bygone era. Like, this is an actual social media. You can be social with people on the internet. No one is famous in a way that matters. There's an actual larger community here, and while it annoys me, I am happy it exists. I've tried looking at the Batman stuff on here, batfamily fanfic is annoying. Most of the games I like have cool fans here, same with the Simpsons. It didn't take long before I found specific people who annoyed me, oh well. But, did find a terf's page. Yuck! God, it felt like I had so much to say but now I have nothing to say. I'll write again on Monday. I've been "studying". I've now act actually got to do my work this week. So what have I actually been doing? Working, watching movies and stuff. Oh yeah, I was sick and didn't write anything. I guess a lot has happened in terms of that. I finished the first season of Twin Peaks again, I still love it. Have watched the first couple of episodes of the next season. It is a little weaker and I worry about the rest, I've heard about it. A lot of the character's hairdos were slightly different, that threw me off. It's cool that they're fleshing Bobby's dad, I hope they do the same for his mum. I think that besides the police staff, he's my favourite character. And Leland. I really like Ray Wise and it's always cool seeing men in touch with their emotions, no matter the circumstance. The guy who plays BOB is also really good, that sequence at the end of the premiere!

My 2 cents of Satanism after being a Satanist for half a day:
I already know this is going to piss probably ever Satanist off and honestly, I don't care. After doing research in several Satanist groups, because at first, I believed I was a Satanist, I have come to the conclusion Satanists are just looking for excuses to be dickheads and put a belief sticker ontop of it so they can get away with it.
It's been almost 7 years now that I have followed a path of both researching the lore of Satan and Lucifer, Hell, demonolgy, etc, and have fallen absolutely in love with it. I grew up Catholic, and how I got by during sunday mass when I was but 10 years old all the way up to 18, I read the book of Revelation.
It was the best part in the Bible. I mean, come on. Horsemen. Dragons. Lucifer. The end of days. Sure, of course, it's the Bible, it's going to get preachy, but the lore of it was so inspiring and cool that I ended up writing a full novel based on the book of Revelation.
It had taken years and an even more immense amount of research to do. I fell in love with the belief of the devil and the belief of demons and the study of demonology and the concept of free will.
Thus, I was naïve when I considered myself a Satanist, but it was only half a day before I ended up actually looking into Satanist groups.
I had found one and I thought I would be welcomed amongst similar people with the same beliefs.
Boy, was I wrong and it's the most ironic thing I have ever seen outside of Christians who preach love for thy brother while ostracizing entire groups of people.
I have never felt more unwelcome in my life. And I preached for Satan in theology class in front of my school's priest back in high school! If that tells you anything.
Not only was I accused of mocking the Satanist belief, I was told I was dabbling in fairytales and that I needed to grow up, do proper research into the Church of Satan and it's laws, and to stop insulting them and their religion and to find the door and hope it hits me on my way out. This was by over a dozen people, and even more who agreed with them via comment karma. Granted, it's reddit. People are dicks on reddit.
Then I went as far as researching the laws of Satanism. I can get behind some of them, but a lot of them excuse aggression and promote violence in the face (and this is the word actually used) of "annoyance".
After researching further and dealing with various people hissing at my back, only one of the Satanists were helpful and suggested that instead, I was Luciferian. I had heard of this before, but I never knew the difference. I wouldn't say that stranger was kind, nor welcoming, more so along the lines of, "Go next door, we don't want you here."
Before I left the group, and before I stopped my quest in researching Satanism on various social media sites, I found that it is one of the most toxic, most "closed cultured" open culture belief I have ever seen. I don't know how they haven't eaten each other by now. They preach free will but will lynch you for your opinion. Oh, I'm sorry. One of the laws is "Don't give your opinion unless asked", yet everyone feels the need to berate you for not being a real Satanist. Also, according to Satanists, they do not actually believe in a Satan or Baphomet.
Which, I also found ironic, considering Baphomet is the symbol of their religion. Anti-cosmic Satanism and Satanism are the same things. Satanists do not believe in any form of being that exists outside of this plane of existence, yet Baphomet is revered by many, and many others who claim to be Satanists. But for them, it's all aesthetic. Symbols don't mean anything. Figure mean nothing but fairytales. It's poser behavior in it's most ironic form. It's like wearing a Target tee shirt of Nirvana and not even knowing who sings "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
Again, before I had left, I found so many people who were complaining about the community, some that were hurt because they were treated as outcasts (ironic, eh?) or because they do believe in Baphomet and Satan.
Satanism is becoming a mockery of itself in acting like a closed culture, when it's not. Basically, the majority of Satanists use the Church of Satan laws to just have an excuse to be an asshole.
It's a belief that excuses someone of responsibility and attempts to be a decent person.
I have found my home in being Luciferian, a far less strict belief that preaches for transformation of oneself to bring the light into your own life and to become the best person one can be, under the guidance of Lucifer and all he represents - free will. Free will that can exist with consequence.
You can't take the darkness out of a dark room.
But you can add light.
