Hi lovely was wondering if you could maybe write a stranger things one with Steve. The reader is dustins older sister and is a bit bitchy with Everyone and one night when Steve’s over she upset and he sees what she’s really like and that she is actually human haha ❤️
THE STRANGEST THING | endless drabble series (summer edition)
summary: steve has a thing for dustin’s sister
pairing: steve harrington x henderson!reader
a/n: i love stranger things. there’s nothing i love more than stranger things. i want 100000 season’s of this series even if it turns into supernatural. i do not care. give me more. also, used prompt 5. warm, breezy nights, with this req mwah ty sm for sending it in <33
masterlist. ☕. reqs are open for the summer prompt list!
part 2.
It’s a miracle. It has to be. Or...or, a tragedy. Something between the two extremes. Because Steve has seen many outlandish things happen at Hawkin’s, but this one takes the fucking cake.
He’s seen you angry. Seen you happy (a few times, maybe, he’s not to sure about that to be honest, he might’ve been hallucinating). Seen you cracking a joke or two at his expense (he wasn’t angry, they were funny, but then again, everything you say is funny and only to him). But he’s never, ever ever in the history of all evers, seen you upset.
It takes him aback. You Henderson’s are tough to crack, and to see you so visibly defeated is just uncanny.
You’re not the easiest to get along with. You’re a bit rude to their rag-tag team of heroes that save the world every other month without a thank you. A bit cold, a bit distant. A bit pretty, too, but Dustin would probably bury him alive if he was to ever speak it out loud.
From your bed, you notice him. Shit. You weren’t meant to notice him. He was supposed to be watching movies with Dustin in the living room, then going to the bathroom and not halting by your door. To be fair, you could’ve kept it closed. Then again, you probably didn’t think he’d be lurking around like some villain ready to spy on unsuspecting high school seniors.
That sounds horrible. He must explain himself immediately, “Just--” He waves his hand around, all smile and charm and perfect hair, “on my way to the bathroom.”
“Does this look like the fucking bathroom to you?” You snap back.
“Right.” He chokes out. Clears his throat. You make him stupidly nervous, “I just, uh,” He just what? The question is written all over your face and he’s already preparing for a lashing, “I was just on my way and...noticed that you seem a bit upset.” He smiles again, anxiously, trying to lessen the blow he’ll surely have to take after such a confession, “I thought it was strange, cuz, you know,” He motions to you, “you’re you.”
There’s a pause. He thinks he’s off the hook when, “The strangest thing is that nobody fucking asked, Harrington.”
Yeah, this isn’t going that well. At least he doesn’t have a thing for you, because that would make all of this worse.
You jump up and make your way to the door ready to shut it in his face but he’s quick to stop you, “Woah! Woah woah woah!” He raises his hands in a pacifying gesture, one that, surprise surprise, seems to work, “I don’t mean any harm, I swear.” Okay, you seem to be listening, so that’s a start, “You’re Dustin’s sister. You know I love that kid.” He admits this a bit quieter, partly because he doesn’t want the said kid to hear and partly because what he says is really fucking true, “And... so...” He shrugs. It should all be already obvious.
That angry spark seems to fizzle from your eyes. Your features soften and your shoulders droop and you look at him unguarded and okay--okay, right, he might have a thing for you after all.
“You can tell me.” He says, gently, afraid to scare you away, “If you want to, that is. I’m not forcing you or anything. Just...just, you know, you can always. Talk to me.”
“Why are you being so nice to me?”
“I dunno, maybe because I’m a nice person?” That got a smile out of you. Jackpot. A smile suits you better than a frown, but then again, everything looks good on you. He grins, “Okay, well, if you change your mind, I’ll be down the hall. Once I’m done in the bathroom. You should come join us, by the way.”
“I’m not into that nerd stuff.”
“(Name).” He says, wounded, hand covering his heart, “Don’t let poor Dusty hear that.”
“He’s well aware of that already, trust me.” You say with a small smile. There’s a pause of pleasant silence, then, “You should go before you pee your pants.”
“Yeah, I really should.”
And it’s not completely unexpected when you, despite not being into that ‘nerd stuff’, join the two of them on the couch and steal Dustin’s popcorn. You’re quite vocal about not understanding what’s going on. To be fair, Steve doesn’t understand either, but Dustin explains it pretty clearly. The movie is just the three of you talking. Laughing. Exchanging glances that don’t quite have a meaning yet.
Steve thinks that if all summer nights were like this, he wouldn’t mind. Maybe the three of you could go to a drive-in theatre on a balmy night like this. Or the two of you. He’s not about to say it, but if Dustin was to, let’s say, not tag along, it would be better. A whole lot better.
“Dude!” One, singular pop-corn hits his cheek. He blinks. Dustin is glaring at him, “Stop staring at my sister, it’s fucking creepy!”
"I wasn’t staring!”
“Like fuck you weren’t!”
“It’s fine, Dustin,” You say, “maybe he just had an aneurysm.”
“What the hell, (Name)?” He hisses. Dustin laughs.
Yeah, he’s not taking Dustin to the movies. Fat-fucking-chance.
hope you liked it! xx

Fifteen wonderful fanfictional works of art (i used to have more for other fandoms but they were culled during the great move to this fandom haha)
What's your total ao3 word count?
102,099 if you can believe. all since the end of january.
What fandoms do you write for?
currently rwrb and rwrb rpf but I've been doing some research into another fandom that i wanna write in soon! watch this space *eyes*
Top five fics by kudos:
No.1 (Royal Red and Blue) Oil on Canvas
Henry Fox is Alive
If You're Not Made For Me (Why Did We Fall in Love?)
Said I'm Sorry But I'm Not To Blame
Drinking light chardonnays and eating tiny finger foods

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I've written some angsty shit, but i think my fic Someone Loved Me But Not Today. It's an open ended fic where Alex and Henry are exes who reconnect at the funeral of Henry's twin brother George.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
All my fics bar the above have a happy(ish) ending.
But probably Henry Fox is Alive because it's so healing to both Alex and Henry.
No.1 is a close second. All my smut has a happy ending ifyaknowwhatimean *wink wonk*
Do you get hate on fics?
Hate is a strong word. I've had some slightly nasty comments about characterisation that hurt my feelings lol, but nothing that is intentionally nasty to me or about my writing. Just choices I've made. But it's whatevs innit.
Do you write smut?
Of course!
Craziest crossover:

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
i usually finish my wips actually. but my 1850s australian prison au is on the back burner bc i have others i find easier writing haha
What are your writing strengths?
people always say dialogue
What are your writing weaknesses?
editing and streamlining. maybe pacing.
Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
yes love it, but i wouldnt do it bc i only speak english and i dont want to look dumb in front of my international friends. like lots of my blorbos are multilingual!!!!
First fandom you wrote in?
oof. idk. Maybe supernatural as my first posted fic? I wrote a lot of fic for bands that were popular when i was young but they shall not be named and never saw the light of day
Favorite fic you've written?
uhh actually it's probably Henry Fox is Alive. Love that fic and it was my first firstprince fic. Special place in my heart!
Also Drinking light chardonnays and eating tiny finger foods is a fave bc it got a lot of traction for being a piss fic hahahaha
No pressure tags for just a few peeps: @anincompletelist @agostobuwan @nocoastposts @wordsofhoneydew whoever wants to!

Good day! Or evening! Or morning! Now that I've covered every part of the day....if you're still doing these...
Prompt 10, please? "*You're* the one avoiding me!"
Werewolf by Night, but make it Three's Company. Oh no! There's been a misunderstanding!
Sorry, I am very exhausted and loopy. And that was a Friends reference to a Three's Company reference. And honestly it's probably only funny to me. 🫠 Thank you for always indulging me. Byeeee.
I watched neither so I am very sorry for not getting those references 😔 But our favorite woof boy + misunderstanding? That I can absolutely do 👍
I did miss seeing you in my inbox lately so I am glad to see you're back for more Jack content! I hope you'll like it 💙

Edit: added AO3 link
"You're the one avoiding me!"
"Stay away. This is too dangerous for you."
You were mad at him at first. Why couldn’t you stay with him like Ted did? Sure you weren't a supernatural creature that could crush someone's head with your bare hands but you could defend yourself!
After some self-reflection you figured that maybe Jack was right. He was the werewolf after all. He should know best what could be dangerous for you and what wouldn't.
You just weren't sure if he wanted to have you around even after the full moon. You tried your best to help around camp and to make things comfortable for Jack when he returned but when he did, he all but crashed back into his sleeping bag without another word.
He was exhausted. Of course he was. You could only imagine how much energy the transformation must drain from him. So you decided to give him some space, take a walk, maybe forage for some food.
You were wandering the woods, picking up mushrooms, herbs and other edible plants. You hoped Jack was alright, that he was resting like he should. It was difficult to stay away when all you wanted was to hold him close and take care of him. But he told you to stay away and he did need the rest, the time alone.
He would find you when he was ready. Jack wouldn't just leave you alone out here.
But what if he wanted you to stay away forever? What if it wasn't just for this past full moon?
Jack was a mother hen at heart. What if he thought he himself was too dangerous to be around you, not just the wolf?
With your thoughts spiraling further into darkness you kept walking through the forest almost mechanically, your body on autopilot.
You didn't even notice the sun setting again over the horizon.
The only thing that finally pulls you out of your dark musings is someone yelling your name.
You stop in your tracks and look around. It doesn't take long until you see Jack running in your direction.
"Mi vida! What are you doing here? The moon is almost up again. You shouldn't be out here alone so late; it's dangerous!"
You flinch as he says it, the words too close to what he said before, to what drove you into the forest in the first place.
Jack sees you flinch and freezes, afraid he may have scared you.
"I'm sorry, mi amor. I'm still a bit agitated from last night."
You shake your head, your teeth worrying your lower lip. He moves closer to you, arms open to signal that he was going to hug you, letting you decide whether or not to let him. You lean into his embrace, the one space you would always feel safe in.
Jack holds you close, arms tight around your body as if he never wanted to let you go again.
"Please don't go alone into the wilderness again when it's dark, mi amor. I understand that you want to avoid me but-"
You freeze in his embrace.
"What? You're the one avoiding me!"
Jack pulls back only a bit so he can face you. He looks terribly confused.
"I am not avoiding you, mi vida! You are the one walking into the woods alone away from me."
"Because you were avoiding me! Because you think you're so dangerous and I can’t handle being around a werewolf and- and…"
You look at each other in silence for a few seconds before you both burst out laughing.
"We are idiots."
Jack nods in agreement, a big grin on his face.
"Ah yes but we are each other's idiot."

stranger things 👻 paranormal investigators au 👻
but the crew is:
Robin Buckley - looks like a sweetheart, is actually a sweetheart
A big fan of horror and paranormal, believes in ghosts and demons, gets very anxious and easily spooked during their investigations, but like the thrill of it. Starts out the investigation very respectful of whatever is haunting the place, but joins Eddie in taunting when they are about to leave the place. Robin is the one who finds information on the haunted places and why they are haunted and retells this info to guys (and the audience)
Eddie Munson - looks like a demon*, is actually a sweetheart
Also a big fan of horror and supernatural, doesn't really have a stance on existence of ghosts and demons. Has been called a demon in high school, so he constantly reminds everyone about it during investigations, calls demons and ghosts pals and taunts them. Eddie and Robin have an ongoing debate whether or not ghosts/demons are homophobic for not showing up and not attacking them. Vibes with decrepit places
*according to some idiots he went to high school with
Steve Harrington - looks like a sweetheart, is actually a very powerful demon
Doesn't care much for horror, because it doesn't spook him in the slightest, the "Why am I here, just to suffer?" vibe of the team, says with his full chest that ghosts/demons aren't real (ghosts/demons watching him like "are you for real?"), tags along for investigations to 1. hang out with Robin and Eddie, 2. protect his friends, 3. ghosts and demons are very frustrated/terrified by his presence and he gets a kick out of watching them just sit quietly while his friends disrespect these quite power entities. Always out loud threatens ghosts/demons - Eddie and Robin make fun of him "oh are you gonna get them with your bat, Steve?" and Steve is like "oh I'm gonna get them alright" (in a spooky voice)
(Occasionally some ghosts/demons don't take Steve seriously and try to attack the group. Those places are not haunted anymore ✌️😔 It's over for ghosts/demons before they even realize what's happening. Robin and Eddie never notice anything except for rare chills and that one time where Steve's eyes are glowing red for a second in the recording. When they are reviewing the footage Robin freaks out a bit - what if Steve is possessed??? Eddie just pulls Steve closer to them and squeezes his cheeks in his hand and says to Robin "Does he look possessed to you?" while Steve makes puppy eyes at her. It stays in the edit 🤧)
#Jonathan is their cameraman#Nancy is a proper investigative journalist and thinks they are rediculus but loves and supports them anyway#robin buckley#eddie munson#steve harrington#steddie#one day they go to a haunted house that is not actually haunted just old but the starbucks near is#and Steve just watches a weak ghost try to haunt people there but no one pays any attention even when it speaks into Robins spiritbox#Steve is having a blast and everyone is like 'you ok there dude?' cause he keeps smiling about 'nothing'

The Non-Fan - Jensen Ackles - Part 1
Summary: Part 1 of 2. Your best friend Lexi talks you into going to a Supernatural convention despite never watching the show. While walking to your hotel room, you bump into a handsome green eyed man. What will come of it?

A/N: This was supposed to be a series but we never finished. Since we got two chapters completed, I decided to edited it to be One Shots. If you would like to see Part 2, comment or submit an ask!
To Be Tagged In All Our Supernatural Stuff or Our Supernatural Canon ReWrite: Submit An Ask, Comment, Message Me, Or Tag Yourself In My Bio!
You shake your head as you walk into the hotel you'll be staying at for the whole weekend. Earlier today, your best friend forced you to go with her to a Supernatural Panel. You’ve never seen an episode of this TV show so you don’t know why you’re being forced to go. You didn’t even find out till this morning, when she called you at what felt like the crack of dawn, but it was really only 8 am, waking you up.
“Lexi, what am I doing here?” You glance at her as you stand at the front counter of the hotel, several hours after she woke you up.
“You need a vacation and I love this show. I got us special Gold passes too! So we will be doing more than just watching one panel. You’ll love it. I promise.” She smiles widely.
You sigh and take the keys to your room from the front desk woman. Lexi is on the 3rd Floor while you are on the 4th. She gets off the elevator first, waving as the doors close. You wait a few seconds before it stops on your own floor. You grab your suitcase before walking down the hallway. You look down at your key to find what number your room is as you walk. As soon as you look up to find the room, you’re bumped in the shoulder, your keys falling from your hands. You let out a small sigh.
“I am so sorry!” A deep voice says.
You look up to see a handsome man with light brown almost blonde hair and twinkling green eyes.
“It’s okay.” You smile, wanting him to know you’re not angry.
You bend over at the same time causing you to bump heads.
“Ow.” You rub your forehead.
“Sorry.” He chuckles, rubbing his own. “Let me grab it.”
He bends over again and grabs your key.
“Thank you.” You say, taking it from him.
“I’m sorry again. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.” He explains with a smile on his face.
“It’s fine. Total accident.” You blush slightly.
“I’m Jensen.” He puts his hand out.
“I’m Y/N.” You shake his hand.
His hands are really soft even with all the calluses. He watches you for a second before biting his lip.
“What brings you here?” He asks, nervously.
“My friend Lexi made me come to see some panel, thing.” You shrug. “Some TV Show she loves. I just came for a vacation.”
His eyes widen for a second before smiling.
“Is it for that Supernatural show?” He asks, raising an eyebrow.
“Yeah. I’ve never seen it.” You admit.
He smiles even wider. “I’ll be there too! Maybe we’ll see each other there.”
“Maybe.” You giggle. “I have to find my room but I’ll see you later, Jensen.”
“Bye, Y/N.” He bows his head, causing me to giggle.
He smiles and you begin to walk our separate ways. A blush covers your cheeks as you look for your room.
Wow. Jensen is so handsome. He probably has a girlfriend. Wait, why am I thinking that? It’s not like I’ll actually see him again.
You make it to your room and open the door using the key. You walk in and drop your suitcase next to the door.
You glance around, getting a good look at where you’ll be staying for the next few days. It’s a decent size room with a California King sized bed and nightstands on either side of the bed. There’s a door to the right leading to the bathroom. It’s a normal bathroom with a tub, sink and toilet. There’s three bath towels on the shelf, a hand towel and washcloth on the counter with a bar of soap and a small packet tucked in nice and neat.
Two more washcloths and hand towels are folded and sitting in the little cubby under the counter. Placed on the little ledge behind the sink is a small pocket sized bottle of hand lotion and another bar of soap. You walk further into the room to see a small TV and a chair in front of a desk. A small mini fridge with a microwave on top is on the other side of the room.
On top of the desk, closest to the fridge and microwave is a coffee pot with the usual regular and decaf coffee bags. You take a deep breath and sigh.
This is going to be a long weekend.
You take a look at the time and realize you only have about an hour to get ready before Lexi is coming to get you. There’s a bar in the hotel so she wanted to see if she could scope out any hot guys. You’re not in the mood to try hard tonight. Maybe you’ll just have a few beers before going to bed. She said you have to be up at eight in the morning to make it to the convention early, before the lines get too long, and before the doors close.
Since you have to be up that early, and you’re not a morning person by any means, you don’t want to stay up all hours of the night with some random dude you picked up and then have to turn around, get up at the crack of dawn, and spend all day at a convention, going off a couple hours of sleep.
You take a shower, dressing in some shorts and a band t-shirt. You grab your wallet and walk to the door, double checking to make sure that you have your room key before you step out into the hallway, and make your way to the elevator. The door opens to reveal Lexi, standing on the other side, phone in hand, no doubt about to text me.
“You’re ready!” She squeals and pulls you in. “Let’s go!”
She pushes the button to the ground floor.
“Lexi, do I really have to go?” You cross your arms, leaning against the wall.
“Yes! You haven’t been out since…”
You quickly place a hand over her mouth, cutting off the rest of her sentence as you glare at her.
“Do. Not. Mention. Him.” You growl.
She nods fast then licks your palm, forcing you to jerk your hand away, and wipe it on your shorts.
“Fine. I won’t mention He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named.” She starts.
You roll your eyes. “This ain’t Harry Potter, Lexi. You can say his name. Just not when I’m around. And, I know it’s been a while since I got out, but him...doing what he did, has nothing to do with me not wanting to party like you do. I just prefer to be indoors, and not around a lot of people. Good ol’ Ben and Jerry keep me plenty of company when I’m watching Netflix by myself, on my couch, in my living room, wearing my favorite pjs.”
“You watch Netflix all the time, yet you’ve never watched Supernatural.” She rolls her eyes.
“It’s not on Netflix.” You inform her. “I looked it up when you talked about it before. Besides, Netflix still only does mailed DVDs. A TV show wouldn’t be on disc yet.”
“That is so stupid. It should be. I need it on my shelf!”
As she finishes her sentence, the doors open. She grabs your arm again and pulls you toward the bar. You glance around to see it’s almost jam packed. Pretty much every seat’s taken. You’d think everyone who’s staying in the hotel and then some are here! It’s like...it’s like it’s the damn Coachella Festival in here!
Lexi and you move through the crowd and make it to the bar. She orders herself a beer. He hands her an open beer before looking at you.
“I’ll just have a Coke please.” You smile at the bartender.
“A Jack and Coke?” He asks.
“No. Just a Coke.” You shake your head.
He nods before grabbing a glass. While you wait for your drink, you look around, trying to find an empty seat, somewhere. You notice that Lexi has left your side. Surprisingly, it doesn’t take you long to spot her in the sea of people that are crowded into the hotel’s bar. And it’s even less surprising to find her snuggled up to some random guy, getting cozy with him no doubt already planning on spending the night with at least him and maybe one other guy or hell, even another girl.
You shake your head and turn back to the bartender. Right as your Coke gets placed in front of me, you feel someone brushing up against your side, jostling your shoulder. Thankfully, you don’t have your drink in my hand, or it’d be all over the bar and maybe even the poor man behind the counter. You internally groan, not wanting to be touching someone this early in the night.
Just as you go to tell them to back some and give a lady some space, the words die in your throat as you notice who it is.
“Sorry. I guess I just have a habit of bumping into pretty girls’ shoulders tonight.” says the beautiful green eyed man from before.
You smile widely. “How many times have you done this, Jensen?”
“Twice. In the hallway and now.” He smiles down at you.
You blush slightly, your cheeks just a little red.
“What are you doing down here?” He asks.
“Lexi…” You state.
He nods and mouths an Oh. You nod and take a sip of your drink.
“Where’s your friend now?” He asks after a moment.
You glance around the room again before gesturing slightly.
“See the girl in the blue short dress?” You ask, causing him to look up.
“The one grinding on the green haired man?” He glances down at you before looking at her again.
“Yep.” You nod. “That's her.”
“And she just dragged you down here? And then left you?”
“Usually does.” You shrug, taking a sip of your Coke.
“What does she expect you to do alone?” He looks down at you.
“She...wants me to find a guy like she does…” You glance at him. “But I’d rather watch some Netflix.”
“You got your discs upstairs?” He asks.
You grin. “Nope. I figured since she drug me out here, knowing I wouldn’t be interested, and me knowing she’d probably ditch me for some guy, I would watch a Pay-Per-View movie at her expense.”
He laughs. “Petty. But, I like it. Would you like some company? A Petty Partner in Crime?”
“Sounds good to me.” You smile widely.
You take a quick drink of your Coke and turn to him. He holds his hand toward the door. You walk in front of him, pushing through the crowd again. You feel him grab your hand causing you to smile. You get to the door and walk together toward the elevator. You look up at him. He smiles and squeezes your hand slightly.
You blush slightly and lace your fingers together.
I just met this man and I’m already holding his hand as if we were a couple. Not that that’d be a bad thing. He seems really sweet and gentle. And, he’s not bad to look at.
You smile to yourself at that thought. Of course, he catches it and lets out a soft chuckle.
“Something on your mind?” He drawls.
You giggle and shake your head. “Nope! I haven’t held hands with a guy in a while.”
Worry flashes over his face. “Is...do...you ok with this?”
You smile and nod. “If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have slid my fingers between yours.”
He chuckles, relaxing a little. “That’s certainly true.”
You giggle and give his hand a gentle, reassuring squeeze, which in turn makes him the one smiling this time. By the time you reach the elevators, you’re both smiling and standing with your shoulders touching. Even waiting for a few moments for the elevator to open and people to file off doesn’t bother me or make your anxiety rise.
In fact, standing next to Jensen, holding his hand, you feel a lot calmer, less anxious, than you have in years. Stepping into the elevator, Jensen, ever the gentleman, lets you in first, but doesn’t let go of your hand, before he steps in next to you.
“What a kind, Southern gentleman.” You tease, looking at him as the doors close, leaving the two of you in the small space.
He laughs. “Well, I am from Texas. I was raised to treat a lady with kindness. I’m also gentle, and a man, so...by all senses of your words, I am indeed a kind, Southern gentleman.”
You laugh. “And also a smartass.”
He smirks. “Takes one to know one. Which begs the question, are you a smartass too?”
You grin. “Well...I am smart...and,” You peek around your side to look at your butt. “I do have an ass...so...I would say I am! But, I’m not a donkey, so I’m not that kind of ass.”
His laugh carries out into the hallway when the elevator stops on your floor, and opens up. He shakes his head, playfully, but he never loses that precious smile that meets his eyes.
“Definitely a smartass like me.” He teases as you start making your way to your room.
You giggle and shrug. “Maybe! You do seem smart...and…” Tilting your head back, you sneak a glance. “And, you definitely have a nice ass.”
He laughs harder. “Wow. Checking out my ass before we even make it through a movie.”
You laugh and shrug. “Just stating the obvious.”
“Aright, Captain.” He teases, chuckling.
You grin from ear to ear. Just goofing off with Jensen, lowkey flirting, and high-key checking him out is a big step for you, and even though you told yourself you wouldn’t spend the night with a man, watching movies, cracking jokes, and laughing with him seems like a pretty good night in your book. Before too long, you reach your room and sadly have to drop Jensen’s hand in order to get your wallet out to get the key to your room.
He smiles and stands next to you, waiting patiently as you use your key to open the door and push it open. Jensen reaches out and holds the door open for you. You walk in and put your wallet on the table with the TV on it. Jensen walks in behind you making sure to close the door. You look over at him to see him looking around the room.
“This looks exactly like my room.” He chuckles slightly.
“If you don’t mind me asking, where is your room?” You sit down on your bed.
“Two doors down.” He points in a direction.
“Woah. That close, huh?” You tease. “Stalking me now?”
“I checked in before you did so it’s all you.” He smirks, slipping off his shoes.
You laugh and shake your head. “Says the one who bumped into me. Not once tonight. But two times!”
He chuckles. “I still think it’s part of your top notch stalking methods.”
You laugh. “Yeah. Sure. You wish I was stalking you.”
He grins. “Wouldn’t be the worst stalker I’ve ever had.”
“Oh really? You’ve had bad stalkers?” You giggle, bring your knees to your chest to untie your shoes. “What? Little Miss Homecoming Queen couldn’t get enough of your homework help in high school, so she followed you till you helped her?”
He laughs. “I wish! No. Homecoming Queen was my girlfriend. I had others help me with my homework. Nah. I’d say the worst stalker I’ve ever had was this one guy who slept outside my house for like a week straight, then when I was gone during the day, he’d sneak inside and wear my boxers! It was creepy. I only caught him ‘cause I came home from work early one day.”
“That does sound creepy! I’d probably run if I saw some creepy man wearing my underwear!”
He nods fast. “I almost did, but I think I scared him more than he scared me at that moment. Kinda like a bear meeting a human in the woods.”
You nod, understanding what he means.
“What do you do for a living?” You ask, slipping off your shoes.
He pauses for a second before answering. “I work on TV sets.”
“Like on an actual TV set? As in cable repair man? Because that sounds like a bad porno waiting to happen. Or like TV shows as a stage hand or something? I bet you make a good little coffee boy.”
“TV shows.” He chuckles. “But, I don’t fetch coffees. Someone does that for me.”
“Oh! Would I have seen you in anything?” You stand up from the bed.
“Um...nope! Unless you secretly watched Soap Operas when you were like 18.”
“Hey! Maybe I did!” You giggle.
He smirks and raises a brow. “Did you?”
“No!” You laugh. “When I was 18, I watched other stuff. Pimp My Ride. Cribs on MTV. Dukes of Hazzard. Random shows, honestly. And movies! I love movies!”
He laughs. “Figured. So, no. I don’t think you’ve seen anything I’ve been in.”
“Damn. That’s kind of a shame.”
He raises a brow, even higher. “And why’s that?”
“I know I’d get a good laugh! You’re funny!”
He smiles. “Thanks. You’re not too bad yourself. I’ve laughed a lot with you in the last half hour or so.”
You smile and grab the remote. “Thanks. Now, before this turns into some cheesy Rom-Com, let’s find an actual movie?”
“Sounds good to me!”
For the next two hours, you and Jensen watch some action/romance movie that isn’t very good. But, honestly, that’s ok, since you and him make hilarious commentary throughout the movie, cracking each other up, and just having a good time. You start to yawn as the credits roll.
“Awww! Don’t fall asleep on me yet! We gotta at least watch another! The party’s just getting started.” He teases, playfully bumping your shoulder with his, even though he yawns himself as he finishes talking.
You giggle and smirk. “Oh really? This is a party?”
He chuckles. “Of course! You’re supposed to have fun at parties, and we’re having fun, aren’t we? Then, it’s a party!”
You giggle. “You’re a goofball.”
“So...another movie?” He asks, relaxing back against the headboard, crossing his ankles on the bed.
You’re super tired but don’t want Jensen to leave yet.
“Finnnneeee.” You giggle, grabbing the remote. “You’ve talked me into it. But! No drawing mustaches or little dicks on me if I fall asleep.”
He laughs. “Deal!”
You find a movie to put on and lean back once again but within a half hour, your eyes are drooping. You feel Jensen wrap an arm around your shoulders. Leaning towards him, You lay your head on his shoulder. He rubs your arm with his fingertips which puts you to sleep quickly.

it's tag game tuesday wednesday THURSDAY. fandom edition, baby! thank you to our beloved @celestialmickey for kicking it off and for tagging me, and also to @energievie & @tanktopgallavich !! 💛💛
your name: jessie
your age: 33
your first fandom(s): i usually say supernatural, but fuck it, i think it was spartacus. i may have engaged with it in a very different way, but i was hyperfixated as hell. i went to my first and only fan conventions. by myself! i never want to go to fan conventions! so yeah. spartacus.
your current fandom(s): shameless, and to a lesser degree these days, supernatural
how did you first get into fandom? hyperfixated on a show, stumbled upon the fandom side of tumblr, did not make a tumblr but lurked a little bit, decided fic was cringey and that i didn't like reading it (it was a v small fandom with not a lot of quality content), hyperfixated on another show and decided to try reading fic again, had my entire world rocked to its core, made a blog, been around ever since.
how long have you been engaging with fandom spaces? like nine years?
how often do you read fanfics? i'd say every day, usually when i'm in bed.
top 3 characters from your current fandom(s): mickey milkovich, dean winchester, castiel.
have you ever written a fic for a fandom? if so, shout it out! i sure have!
have you ever drawn fanart for a fandom? if so, drop a link! nope!
share a personal headcanon that you feel very strongly about: mickey was thinking about yevgeny when he and ian had the parenthood conversation in 11x12.
you’re trying to convince a friend to get into your current fandom(s) with you. what episode, clip, or scene are you showing them? okay so i actually did this with one of my closest irl friends and she got...possibly more into supernatural than i am, and she reads destiel fic, and has had intense gallavich fic phases as well. and it was actually super easy lol. she just has the same kind of brain that i have, and i just had to tell her to watch the shows because i knew they'd fuck her up the same way they fucked me up. she saw my reaction after november 5th 2020 and wanted to know everything, so i told her everything, and she started watching spn the next day. i watched shameless a couple months later and lost my entire mind, and all i had to do was tell her that she NEEDED to watch it, and she started watching it right away. i think if i had to show her a specific scene though, it probably would've been mickey coming out in 4x11. iconic, legendary. she would've eaten that up even with no context. also special shoutout to this friend, because she's the person who taught me to not be embarrassed about being interested in fic, or fandom in general. i always thought she was so brave for being open about her hyperfixations in her everyday life, like for real lol. i still struggle with it, but i've gotten more open about it because of her.
and finally, what does fandom mean to you? a community of some of my best friends, and the place where i learned that i can actually be a creative person. i'm doing all kinds of fulfilling things with my life because of this space 🥹
tagging @howlinchickhowl @whatwouldmickeydo @gardenerian @gallawitchxx @heymrspatel @whatthebodygraspsnot @you-are-so-much-better-than-that @iansfreckles @squidyyy23 @auds-and-evens @mishervellous @7x10mickey @lalazeewrites and anyone else who wants to play 🖤🖤🖤
#tag game tuesday! 💛#tag game#if anyone else tagged me to do this and i didn't see it i'm sorry! tumblr hasn't been consistently notifying me of mentions

get to know me (sims edition)
thank you so much to @dandylion240 for tagging me!! <3
i feel like everyone has done this bad boy by now, so i don't know who to tag, but please consider yourself tagged if you see this and want to do it!
what's your favorite sims death?
ngl i love the jelly bean death from TS3. when i was younger, if i got bored of a sim, i'd just feed them jelly beans over and over until they kicked the bucket and i could get rid of them.
if not the jelly bean death, then mummy's curse! it's way too easy to get sims cured of it, though, so you really have to commit to letting them suffer through it.
alpha cc or maxis match?
i'd say somewhere in between! i much prefer maxis match, but i'll use alpha occasionally. if i do, it's probably for specific clothing items that no one has made in mm style yet.
do you cheat your sims weight?
for story sims, yes. for gameplay sims, no. i really don't care about it in gameplay and i just let my sims look like what they look like. but in my story, i do cheat it because i keep VERY tight control over those characters. i like continuity and making sure everyone sticks to their canon, but also, when things do change, i like to plan for that to happen in the narrative at a logical point in time for the character.
do you move objects?
constantly!
favorite mod?
literally anything that gives me god-like control over my sims. NRaas and MCCC are my loves <3
first expansion pack?
it was world adventures for TS3.
i remember when i bought the base game on PC for the first time. picture it - september 2012. supernatural just released, seasons is on the way. everyone and their mother is watching lifesimmer. i played one household, an opposites attract couple. i got bored, killed the husband, and then never touched the game again.
at least, i didn't touch it until i watched LGR's reviews and bought world adventures! yay, interest revived.
do you pronounce live mode as aLIVE or LIVing?
i always say it like "liv"
who's your favorite sim you've ever made?
unequivocally, it's grant <3 my beloved
also his future love interest, who i will continue to tease simblr with by vague posting about them
have you made a simself?
yes, but i never play my simself or use them for anything.
what is your favorite EA hair color?
black or red, 100% - they look amazing on every single sim. like i challenge myself to find a sim who doesn't look good in black or red hair. i don't think it'll happen!
i love the unnaturals, too, but more in TS3 because i can customize them to my heart's desire and give sims their natural root color.
also unpopular opinion but in TS4, the original blue black is wayyyyy better than the new one!
favorite EA hair?
honestly, just the curly hairs. me and giving sims in every game curly hair are an inseparable duo
favorite life stage?
you know, i don't think i have one favorite, but i can tell you which one i hate. i HATE playing as kids. they can't do anything and they're not interesting and their clothing options are horrible. babies, infants, toddlers, teens - all okay! kids? NOPE BORING
yes, i would rather play with a burrito or bassinet baby than a kid.
the kids are slightly better in TS3 because i feel like it's easier to get them to make friends, plus i can ship them off to boarding school if i really want to, but they're still not interesting...
are you a builder or in it for the gameplay?
gameplay and stories all the way, baby. i hate building. will i do it occasionally? sure. does it make me want to eat my monitor so i never have to stare at my poor life decisions ever again? yes!
are you a cc creator?
yes and no. i love doing recolors tbh but most of them end up being only for my private game. i've not shared very much on here publicly. i always want to and then i forget or just don't feel like cleaning up my files to be sharable.
do you have any simblr friends?
a few, yes! i'm very shy and short on free time to browse tumblr so i suck at reaching out, but i've made a few amazing friends and lots of close mutuals, i'd say. i'm always wanting to make friends on here, though, so hey y'all, let's be besties! if i follow you, i treasure you. trust me!
do you have any sims merch?
i've never seen sims merch to begin with?
do you have a youtube for sims?
i've had two LMAO. i had one as a kid where i uploaded gameplay clips. i had one video get a decent set of views (okay, like a hundred or something, idk) where i did a world adventures time lapse.
and then i started another one in like 2019? i did speed CAS and decorating videos in TS3. i deleted all the videos, though. i did think about reviving that channel a while back and doing let's plays for sims and RPGs, but then i got paranoid about people hearing my voice. i had the mic and everything ready, left over from a school project.
you know, sometimes i still think about using that channel but i probably won't.
how has your sim style changed throughout your years of playing?
i don't know. i think they've always looked kind of the same. i always lean towards making sims with freckles, big eyes, long noses, curly hair, and who aren't skinny and never wear a color other than black. if you ever see a sim of mine with features that deviate from those, just know that it was a severe struggle and concerted effort to do so.
what's your origin ID?
i'm not giving that out to the whole wide world. though, you can DM me for it if we're mutuals and you want it for any reason!
who's your favorite cc creator?
i love rusty-sims and sifix because they make absolute top-tier formalwear cc. formal is my least favorite outfit category in any sims game and they make it so much easier to work with <3
how long have you had simblr?
this particular one? since december 2021.
how do you edit your pictures?
basically not at all. i use gimp to crop and add borders, then photopea to add text on my story posts.
what expansion pack is your favorite?
it's definitely not world adventures. what do you mean it's world adventures? i've never ever ever mentioned on this blog or in this post that i love world adventures. i don't know where that assertion is coming from!
it's world adventures
#if there's one WA fan it's me#if there's no WA fans i'm dead#i'm finally catching up on tag games sorry jfgfdjd#there's some from months ago i still have to do#tag games

20 Questions for Fic Writers
thank you @recurring-polynya for tagging me!
1) How many works do you have on AO3?
44!
2) What's your total AO3 word count?
247,354
3) What fandoms do you write for?
bleach and kurobas, but i used to write a LOT of batman fanfics only 3-4 years ago
4) Top 5 fics by kudos?
1) six hearts beat as one
2) Make My Wish Come True
3) all i long for (all i worship and adore)
4) i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
5) Paper Houses
#1 is a drabble/fic collection and #3 is a kurobas fanfic! 🤗
5) Do you respond to comments?
i try to get to every single one, but i still don't know what the protocol is for long fics when a reader leaves a comment on every single chapter. i try to just reply to the last one to avoid spamming them, but generally i love receiving comments so i usually get back to all of them!
6) What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
no angsty endings, only angsty beginnings and middles
7) What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
...all of them? i think? my fics are pretty formulaic, at this point, so any conflict gets resolved by the end. i'd say my favorite ending is the one i wrote in Therein Lies the Heart, mostly because it's set in a time where orihime was still recovering from everything she went through in hueco mundo and figuring out how she wants to grow next as an individual, so i like how it ends with a hopeful note that she's made peace with whatever has happened and is ready to take on whatever is coming next! i think it sits neatly between pre-timeskip and post-timeskip in canon bleach, but that's just me!
8) Do you get hate on fics?
no, thankfully
9) Do you write smut?
not often. they're hard to write!
10) Do you write crossovers?
i think crossovers are very interesting but they're hard to execute in a way that incorporates the themes and elements of both stories! i joke around a lot about my favorite characters from bleach meeting my favorite characters from kuroko no basket and i love to toy around with unconventional team-ups like kakashi and orihime being pen-pals or ichigo and kuroko being classmates in college (since they're interested in the same major) but i don't think i'd actually write any, it's just me playing around with my dolls and then putting them back in the box! i don't read many either, but the one fic i did read (which was a knb/free crossover i think) was very good, even if i haven't actually watched free! crossovers require a special talent and while i'm curious about how i'd approach one, idk if i actually will😅
11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that i know of!
12) Have you ever had a fic translated?
someone offered once, but they never got back to me!
13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?
no, i'm shy🙈
14) What's your all-time favorite ship?
ichihime and aokagakuro <3
15) What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?
i lose steam a lot unfortunately, so i know there are going to be a few fics i might never finish. i try to keep them in the drafts so i don't end up disappointing anyone, though!
16) What are your writing strengths?
i like my characterization!
17) What are your writing weaknesses?
not a good plot person, i think. most of my fics are born out of short-term ideas or concepts or stories where nothing really happens and characters just feel things. i am also a lazy proof-reader so most of my edits/additions/corrections happen after i post something. i'm trying to work on that!
18) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?
i don't think i've ever put in a whole dialogue in another language, but there are some words and honorifics that you really can't capture accurately in english, so i pepper those in. they're pretty infrequent, though. i try to stick to what i know and work with it!
19) First fandom you wrote for?
....supernatural, but i never posted it anywhere 💀 the first fics i posted were all in the batman fandom
20) Favorite fic you've ever written?
You Can Show Me Your Heart (ChadHime) - this fic had been in my head for two whole years but i had never attempted writing it because i could never figure out how to start. once i finished it though, i ended up loving it a lot! i also love circuit which is my first aokagakuro fic!
tagging: whoever wants to do this, just say i tagged you and go ahead!
#tagged#my hypothetical kakashi orihime friendship fic would be orihime encouraging kakashi to retire and kakashi encouraging a pregnant orihime#not to feel guilty for sitting around doing 'nothing'#like neither of these people go to therapy but writing to each othet whenever they feel self-critical is probably therapeutic for them both#should i....write it💀#everyone says write for yourself but i am honestly convinced this is taking it a step too far#anyway thank you for tagging me i appreciate it💖💖#actually kakashi would encourage orihime to go back to SCHOOL! that would be so great!!!#ugh no i cannot add another wip to my list do not do this to me

Get To Know Me Sims Edition
I got tagged again, yay! Thanks @oasislandingresident Anyone else who wants to do this, I officially tag you!
What’s your favorite Sims death?
I don't think I have a "favorite" death but it's always the meteor strikes that get me. I haven't had too many happen in my game but when they do, it is an EVENT lol
Alpha CC or MaxisMatch?
Alpha for hair (SUPER SHINY PLEASE) maxis match for clothes and everything else
Do you cheat your sims weight?
There is no cheat in this game that I have not nor will not try. If I wanted to be miserable, I'd just live in real life so my sims get whatever they want, look however I want them to look, and never ever run out of money or get sick or anything bad. Nope, if there's a cheat for it, I'mma use it!
Do you move objects?
Absolutely. I am very particular about how I place things, I do not know why lol
Favorite Mod?
Probably the NRAAS mods or any mod that removes things that annoy me about the game. I use a lot of those!
First Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack?
I started playing Sims 3 late so the first pack I got was a combo Base Game, Late Night, and High End Loft stuff. World Adventures came next and then everything else very shortly after lol
Do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing?
Alive.
Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?
Autumn Moon! She is absolutely the most gorgeous sim I have ever had. She was the daughter of a sim I made and Anoki Moon.
Have you made a simself?
I started to but I can't seem to get it quite right, lol
Which is your favorite EA hair color?
I don't know, really. I guess it depends on what kind of look I'm going for on the sims.
Favorite EA hair?
Definitely this one from the Showtime pack:
Favorite life stage?
I play mostly as YA but my favorite is child life stage. Toddlers and kids in Sims 3 are A D O R A B L E !
Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?
A little of both, really. I love building but I am not as good at it as other folks but it's so fun to try and create different places! Gameplay sometimes feels like a time killer until I can think of the next place my sims absolutely must have.
Are you a CC creator?
I make patterns but other than that, no. I love all of the people who do, though, endlessly!
Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad?
I don't know really. There are a lot of folks here on Tumblr and elsewhere that I consider friends and hope they think of me as a friend as well <3
Do you have any sims merch?
Weirdly, no. I don't think I've ever even thought about buying any. I spend enough on the game and stuff for the game, I think lol
Do you have a YouTube for sims?
I don't have a YouTube for anything but watching and occasionally commenting on videos.
How has your “Sims style” changed throughout your years of playing?
I have a certain list of things that I do before I even start a save now. Another list for once I start. It's a process but it's time tested and perfect! I use a lot more player made creations instead of defaulting to whatever EA gives us. I also do A LOT more travelling and challenges now.
What’s your origin id?
I have no idea.
Who’s your favorite CC creator?
ALL OF THEM
How long have you had simblr?
I don't even know. I think maybe 5 years now ? but it's probably longer than that. I know once I got here, everyone made me feel so welcome! Now you'll never get rid of me muuhahahahahahaaaaa
How do you edit your pictures?
I am really bad at editing any photo and my sims pics are just as bad, lol. I kinda just crop and clean them up a little but my ability really does not extend very far beyond that.
What expansion/ gamepack is your favorite?
Surprisingly to me, it's Supernatural. I say it's surprising because I had no interest in play occult sims or anything like that at all but Supernatural is essential to me for one reason and one reason alone: witches can magically upgrade everything in WAY less time than it takes to manually upgrade something. I know, it's a weird reason but that's seriously why. Big fan of Seasons and Generations as well!

Rules: list eight shows for your followers to get to know you better.
Tagged by @ainulindaelynn. This took a minute cause I couldn't think of more than 3 shows. Most of the TV I "watch" is just on in the background while I'm doing almost anything else except reading or writing.
EDIT: after posting i realized I completely forgot about Start Trek TNG. Unforgivable on my part.
M*A*S*H - I've still never figured out why this resonated with me as much as it did (I mean, aside from the obvious), especially since the last episode aired when I was a year old. There were a lot of reruns, though, growing up, so I guess it just stuck at some point. I'm not sure if it still hold true now, but there was a time in the 90s/early 00s where there was an episode of M*A*S*H airing somewhere in the world every 30 minutes. Impressive that is resonated so clearly, everywhere.
True Detective (Season 1) - I've said it before and I'll say it again: this is the single best season of a tv show, ever. The other seasons are good, but they don't have anything to do with each other aside from a call back or two, so I feel fine about treating it as its own thing. If you like detective/procedural with a light supernatural bent, plus a cult inspired by your friendly neighborhood King in Yellow, well this is the show for you.
Vikings Valhalla - strangely I haven't even watched Vikings yet, and this is a great example of mutuals being great advertisers because one of mine was hyperfixating on King Canute and I was like 👀👀 who are you? So yeah, I'm watching this for the "wrong" reasons. LOL (SRSLY THOUGH ALL I SEE IS A LIVE ACTION UBBA *snickers*
4. Hannibal - I was hooked from the beginning, before they started throwing all that sexual tension around (not complaining tho lol). This was one of the few shows that my ex partner and I watched together all the time, our tastes and schedules often conflicted, but we were always around for the murder husbands. XD
5. The Haunting of Hill House - another one the X-misses and I used to watch together. I really enjoyed this one though it took us forever to get through it because we'd stop every few minutes to figure out if we'd spotted a ghost or not. LOL I quiet enjoyed it overall, and I also very much like how they changed things up over the original novella. I like Shirley Jackson, but I think some of her other stuff is better.
6. Any Dinosaur TV show - especially Walking With Dinosaurs and Dinosaur Planet and Prehistoric Planet.
7. Severance - This show knocked me out. I heard about it on Tumblr one day and I'd binged it all within the next couple days. LMAO What nonsense I love it.
8. Good Omens & Sandman - putting these two together because they fill the same space in my heart: respectable adaptations of things I grew up with and am very fond of and I'm glad to see getting a wider audience/more attention/more love. :D
I will tag @brasideios @macavitykitsune @theinkandthesea @vdk-hellscape and anyone else that wants to cuz I'm not sure who has or hasn't been hit by this one yet.

TAG NINE PEOPLE YOU WANT TO GET TO KNOW BETTER
Tagged by @evil-moonlight Thanks doll!
I think I've been tagged by a few others for this and I'm sorry I never got around to it! I'm going to be going through and trying to respond to the ones I've missed, but if anyone wants to tag me again feel free!
Favorite Color: Cerulean blue, baby/hot pink and bright yellow has been growing on my for a while now.
Currently reading: Uh, well, I think the last actual book I picked up was the first in the Shadow & Bone series, but as I usually do with books I got distracted by fic and fandom things. I have been meaning to go back and reread (and finish reading) all of Cherie Priest's novels, but they're all packed away in boxes in my storage unit unfortunately. If you're into zombies, supernatural themes, and steampunk I HIGHLY recommend reading her stuff because it's fucking amazing.
Fanfiction wise I'm making my way through @godotismissingx -Bedroom Hymns series for like the fourth time - https://archiveofourown.org/series/2475169

(I just spent an hour fighting tumblr to get the coding to work to do click through links and it still isn't working idk so sorry about that...)
Last song: Well, this is difficult to answer because I'm currently listening to music so I'll just name the few songs I've been listening to obsessively for the past week etc. Hindi Sad Diamonds - John Leguizamo, Nicole Kidman & Alka Yagnik from Moulin Rouge (yes this is entirely Tong's fault from the world tour, thank you sir), Always Remember Us This Way - Lady Gaga (it's kimchay and it hurts and I love the pain), Small Doses - Bebe Rexha (ofc a kp video turned me onto this one), Smother Me - Kelaska and OF COURSE Why Don't You Stay by Jeff Satur because, I mean, come on.
Last Series: Working my way through a 3rd/2nd and a half rewatch of The Devil Judge (I never finished my second rewatch), um, KinnPorsche of course, that one is just a constant. Also watching My Liberation Notes, but I had to to take a break because every single character in that show is so damn depressed and human that it really brings me down to the dirt and I was getting a bit too sad. When I can finally tear myself away from all my wips I'm really looking forward to watching the newest season of Virgin River (yeah, I know, don't look at me like that. It's sweet and wholesome and corny and hetero but it's yummy okay).
Last movie: Went and saw Thor Love and Thunder with the fam sunday evening. It was predictable, very marvel (derogatory), but I laughed a lot and it was a fun watch. Oh, and I watched Moana again last night as well because I heard Jeff Satur's cover of How Far I'll Go and promptly cried and lost my entire mind. Go ruin your life and listen to it right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex_NRs9VyNw
Currently working on: Oh gawd please don't make me say it... several vid edits on the backburner, peteporsche fic, lawyer!kinn assistant!porsche fic request by @moerusai , kp fantasy royal au, the haunting of Theerapanyakul house (a haunting of hill house vegaspete au) for the lovely @liyazaki , another armpol fic, the kp greaser!era fic and Vegas character study I may or may not be giving up on 'cause the sparks just aren't hitting right, AND several pieces of artwork. *cries in not enough time*
No pressure tags - Everyone I mentioned above! As well as @acacia-luna-royal @ahdriking @omarandjohnny @mematryoshkame @minisculecosmos @suga4mycoffee
Pretty sure that's more than nine but I cannot count. ❤️
#personal#my stuff#tagged meme#aannddd the coding issues and my lack of answering shortly is why i have a hard time doing these lol#sorry guys!#kinnporsche

I'm watching *Sky News* right now and they've got an unsuspecting elderly gentleman on and--
THIS MAN HAS NO CHILL--
1) When asked by the reporter what he would like to hear from Boris Johnson in his resignation speech? "Goodbye."

2) When asked what he thinks of the Government in it's current state: ~"I'm starting to think the cabinet is just made up of Boris' friends at this point."
3) He has great taste in jumpers
Edit: I just found out that this man is a Lord. Apologies, Lord Heseltine... You have a great taste in jumpers.

"every doctor who fan has that one thing that they wish would happen that, depsite the fan base being so large, no one else has seemingly also ever wanted"
Okay, so is it just me or are there any other people out there who desperately wish that they would use/even just acknowledge the fact that, y'know, Ace still has a whole-ass dying cheetah planet in her mind, or am I the only one?

➷Icarus
Pairings: Dabi/ Reader, Hawks/reader
Tags: pirate au, mermaid!reader, human!griffin!Hawks, pirate!dabi, angst, lots of it<3
Summary: set in an early 1700s au, during a time where Pirates have began taking over the seas and for runaway prince Touya, piracy is the only escape. But after the most unexpected event, his life takes a completely different turn.
Are y'all proud of me? Look at me! I made an edit, AN ACTUAL EDIT. okay quick thing to say before I hop into this is that I absolutely love this with all my heart. Writing it is my therapy, I hope anyone reading finds joy in this. Stay tuned for the next parts.
The first intake of air that enters your lungs feels like poison.
Sweet, mellow, nectar like poison is what you think of it nonetheless, especially if it's the only price you have to pay to bat your eyes to the aqua color of the sky. Today in particular the sun is too bright, too hot, to proud to shine over the little specs of clouds that dare litter that eternally beautiful azure canvas.
You can literally feel the river of tears that begs to stream down your eyes. Your hair is sticking to your skin annoyingly, but you don't dare brush it off, the little pools of seaweed that you've used to accessory yourself with are ghosting around you, spreading and straying away as you shift to your back.
As you lay on your back, letting the water push you to the surface, your ears are happily halfway submerged to the water, the tickling sensation soothing you just enough. Your (s/c) tail lays flat on the surface, halfway submerged much like the rest of your body. You bend it slightly to the side, flapping your tailfin onto the surface softly. Sprinkles of water splash over your torso, eager to finally find their way back into the water, like a fished out fish, racing in a match against time and the vaporising power of the burning sun.
Absurdly you float, feeling your body spinning and twirling as the tides swiped you from place to place. The dazzling sparkles of light that shine onto the water are magnetizing your gaze, pleading with you to fixated them with a look as the sun slowly travels its path to what seems as a few inches away from its previous spot, to you at least.
Your hand shoots up, right above your head, idling between you and your view of the enormous, bright star, as your long fingers spread you take a peak through the fishy fins that join them together. There's a deliberately feeling of malice and loath as you look at them -you've planted the seed of hatred towards the feature, not so long ago- and the slight undertones of your sheer and much illuminated skin looking fins stretch under your brain's command. You've never thought about it beforehand to this, but they hurt when you spread them, kind of like reminding you that there's a limit to what you're vulnerable or not.
At least the skin on his palm, the skin between his fingers isn't joined like yours.
Ironically, it gives you a sense of freedom.
You've only seen him on his ship. Once. But that doesn't stop you from having a painted image of him in the back of your head.
He's a timid buccaneer with a long ultramarine cloak, dreamy cerulean eyes, raven locks so unkept under the loops of his low ponytail and a barbaric lust to cause chaos. In other words, the Captain of a pirate ship.
That's all you need to know to be fascinated with him. You never heard his name, you never heard anyone speaking directly to him, all you had was a moment in which you exchanged looks, you with your pruned up fear of humans and him with big, bounty charged eagerness to spare you.
Maybe that was what had fascinated you about him in the first place. No other pirate had ever spared a mermaid with such light heartedness and a weird bubbly feeling in your chest had foamed its way into your heart ever since.
It's only when you feel you're disassociating out of this hybrid body that an all familiar trill filled your water muffled ears. That was your cue to swim to the shore.
With one deep breath of the surface air you submerged your form into the water, wobbling your tail around to cure any drizzling numbness that could occur were you to simply swim right on the spot. Your hands sway over your face and spread into half circular motions as you flap your fins and tail prominently, rising your body just under the surface.
You only open your eyes when you feel like your bird friend is close enough above the surface. And when you lock eyes with his golden orbs you notice the sly smirk that paints his whole face.
"Race you to the shore?"
Knowing full well that he can't hear your voice from the surface you nod sharply and only once, signaling your acceptance of his challenge. Ruby red wings flap hurriedly from his back, rustling the waters underneath him. You only grunt, because it's unacceptable that he believed he could throw you off track by doing the minimal damage to your surrounding environment.
Even for someone as fast as Keigo though, it's hard time mess up with the tides, even harder to compete with one if the most excellent swimmers, a merfolk.
Your tails flaps dangerously, torpeding your body forward and into a tube of salty bubbles as you swirl all around while swimming. Your eyes are fixated on Keigo, watching his every move as you shift through currents, the fins of your tail occasionally scraping over slack rocks ever so slightly. Your heart is pumping in your chest as you watch Keigo flap his wings again, you spare him a grin that mimicks his own and he raises an eye brow at you, extending an arm and taking his body just a foot more above the surface of the water.
His hand submerges into the water, startling you enough to make you widen your eyes at the sight of it. Little trails of his speed form in white foam behind his hand as he moves forward but you notice how the flat of his palm comes to scoop over the back of your head.
Like hell you're going to let him win this tim-
Your whole body is shaken suddenly as you are guided to the left, then to the right, your eyes squinting shut everytime your tail painfully bumps into the thin distances between the sharp, spike mounds of rocks you had failed to notice.
"Easy there, you don't have to rip your skull open to keep up with the fastest bird alive."
Keigo smiles at you and wiggles his eyebrow to your direction more than twice. It pokes your ego slightly. This playful comment nudges with your merfolk pride and the raptor seems to enjoy it, it seems like it's funny to him to mess with the way you swim when you can't exactly do the same for him up in the air.
And it's only when his hands wrap around you leisurely through the water, seemingly avoiding to actually touch you, but only interested in the intention to cage you that you pout and close your eyes, ready to flap your fins once more. That's the only advantage you need to outsmart him and out speed him.
Nevertheless, before you even manage to execute the first flap to your master plan, Keigo is quick to lock his hands around you, on you. He's even quicker to pull you over the surface.
"That's not fair!" You squeal.
"Isn't it?" The blond chuckles "I thought that you would like to come in tie with me for once"
"You're-"
"Insufferable?"
You laugh at him feverishly, as thin salty bubbles form in the pits of your chest. The soft exhale that travels out of your nostrils is a hot puff of air against Keigo's wet, naked chest, but instead of wincing to the tingling feeling, you feel the pleasant hum of a chuckle vibrate from his chest to yours.
"More or less"
It comes out as a soft coo, another huff of air against his chest though this time it's impossible not to feel how your skin feels against his. But that's just you, you remind yourself. From your point of view, you eye across his chest, careful not to let your face touch him, but your fins are beginning to betray you, perking up furiously.
Keigo seems to notice the way you shift against his grip, but he doesn't cease with his smile. It's only when he lowers you far away from his body though still keeping you in his grip that you see a fragment of his expression slip into what could be seen as sorrow.
"You merfolk could never convince me you're superior beings, you almost crushed against rocks" Keigo laughs.
Surprisingly, this time your chest doesn't feel heavy.
Instinctively you let your whole weight fall on his arms -what are you to a supernaturally strong griffin anyway. You hang your hands on both sides on your body, bobbing your fingertips right onto the surface, dipping them inches into the warm body of water.
"Sorry, your only obstacles seem to be puffy clouds huh?" Your sarcasm is lost in the grander scheme if the smoothness of your voice.
"You could never outrun me, let that sink in" He says, kidding with his head to the shore "where do I drop you?"
"Here's good, the sunset's nice from here" You reply "and yes, I can outrun you that's why I was so feverish about it."
The monotony in your statement is in contrast to its context and Keigo raises a brow at you, though it quickly drops as you manage to miss it. It's too eerie, too complex for his own good to pry into the feeling he's getting from your behavior, but if he were allowed to, he'd talk about how you don't seem to be your usual self.
With a swift flap of his wings he lowers himself into the water, his lungs filled with as oxygen as hes believed he needs from only a second ago. His hands come loose once the sheer liquid engulfs him; he feels how your fins tap against the feet, tickling him to the touch as the moisture softens them up again.
He wonders, if that's how soft his feathers feel to others.
His eyes don't open in the water, more likely because he's diving for the split of a second. It doesn't feel like a life time, just like any other time hes felt time pass by when diving, but he's putting that on you. He won't admit aloud, but his heartstrings pull slightly at the thought of you rooting yourself into him.
At least that's how he feels. And his smile widens when you pop your head out of the water you and shoot him a glare of your most glistening eyes with your lips pressed together in a thin line. He flies lower, with the intention of landing and flips his body so that his legs are facing the sand underneath him.
"Ah, today's nice." He sighs the moment he lies on his side, his elbow popping just in place for his hand to cup his face.
"It is, isn't it?"
Keigo smiles but a hollowing heat spreads to his chest, it's though as he can feel the bones underneath the layers of his own skin. It's his choice to ignore the feeling, rather, he coos a little over to your side, spreading a wing to your side. Red feathers splash happily into the water as they submerge, causing him to scrunch his nose pleasantly to the feeling.
"Keigo"
His feathers perk at the sound of his name, little, ruby feathers spike to his heart's commands. Tenderly your hand shoots to the sharp edge of his left wing, brushing down a few of the stray hawk downs.
He twitches to the touch; with legs that turn stiff as the slim looking black claws of his toes pop, his body shudders the peculiar affection. Keigo isn't used to being touched in the way merfolk get all tacky with each other. Griffin hybrids aren't as sleek and affectionate with their younglings, rather, being physical is discouraged.
"Mmhm?"
The way he coos against you like a little chick though, can't be discouraged by anyone other than you. As more feathers wrap around you, shielding your exposed scaly body from the scorching of the sun. The talons of his hands reach out to caress the hair above your ear, running some strands through his fingers.
You don't dare speak yet. There's a blasting of emotions that's happening inside your chest that your lungs can't respond to. It's only that, your face is so close to his, your nose almost in sync with his. But his eyes didn't look at you in a way that had once seeked.
Heavy chest and a quivering breath, even underwater. That's all the Keigo ever gave you. With his charms, and the perky feathers on his chest and hands that cooked everytime you were close. The pluming wings on his back that reaped the skies in a single flap; a creature worth of a mermaid's love was either worthy or atrociously mischievous, wasn't that the old saying?
And there was a time where you had been in love with him. A time where you had thought that mating for life with the griffin would be the right for you. Many merfolk had swam the path before, many had contributed to the birth of those atrocious, deadly sirens as a species, but at a time, the thought of your own little siren with Keigo sounded like a fairytail.
And that was all it was. Keigo had his eyes on a fairy, then on a raven griffin from his friend's flock.
If Keigo knew of all the hot tears you'd shed first him in the past, would he have sought to mate with you?
Well now you didn't care.
You didn't care about the world of creatures ever since that day.
"Keigo-"
"Y/n-"
You speak simultaneously, almost letting out the hazardous intentions of your statements overlap each other. It only makes you want to giggle though, as much as Keigo seems to want to sit back and wait for you to speak, the sheer profanity that lays beneath what you're planning to ask is coiling the blood in your heart in the most endearing way.
"Can I go first?" You ask and Keigo nods into your eyes.
His golden orbs dont leave yours, not even for a second.
"Is walking hard?"
Keigo's first response is to cock an eyebrow at you. It seems like such a silly, innocent question to which he can't give a definite answer, still the little smile that creeps to the corner of your lips is convincing enough for him to think of one
"Huh?" He laughs as well but this time, his hand comes to rest leisurely over your cheek.
You share a look in silence. The pointy tips of his talons are merely touching your skin in small places, while he scratches tenderly around your skin. Your faces are only inches apart and although it should hurt that he's only a ghostly breath away, your heart stutters at the thought of you learning more about walking.
"I'd like to walk"
In your excited state, you miss the way Keigo snuggles his nose right next to yours, unbeknownst to you, you deny the way his lips beg to clash with yours.
"Keigoo, tell me!"
Keigo seems to sigh a little over his own breath. The little nibble on his heart is quick and gone before he gets the chance to even feel it, so he doesn't blame it on the lack of the contact he had sought for.
"It's like," He pinches his nose "I guess it's like standing but with motion, like when you grab into a rock and pull your body around it?"
"Do I grab on rocks?"
"No, you just stand on your feet. And move them like so."
"Interesting"
Keigo scratches the coarse hair on his chin, puckering his lips to the side of his face as he's trying to think. As if he's trying to out the pieces together.
"And is it hard to learn how to walk?"
"Well I'll tell you if you tell me why you're so interested in learning all these stuff!" His claw soughs slightly onto the sight of your face, forcing you to face him once again.
He's never seen you express concern about this particular subject. But as he guesses, most mermaids do from time to time.
Nonetheless, now is his chance to spurt out what he wishes to say, now that his nose is on yours again. Now that your lips as ghosting over his again, now that your palm reaches slowly for the harsh flex of his bicep.
"I-"
But once again he's cut off.
"It's for a friend. She saw this pirate the other day."
The words that slip so reluctantly off your mouth finally manage to peak Keigo's interest in what you're trying to say. The mere hesitation in your struggling voice is accompanied by the twirling of your tail around his legs. It's a struggle to get as comfortable as before, but Keigo gladly ignores anything that doesn't involve staring in your eyes.
"Tell your friend" Keigo pauses. His wings push you onto him further, trying to coo you in his consultations "a pirate isn't worth her tail."
"But why" You mutter against him.
An atrocious feeling in his gut spurs the moment you let the palm of your hand slip down and splash onto the water. The silent act of giving u accompanied by you hanging your head an inch lower, just so that your lips miss contact by what can only seen like a huge gap. To him.
"They're sick, and they're thieves and they murder creatures for bounty"
"They do?" You ask, terrified
"They tie them to their ships, they shoot them, anything to carry them back to their orm and sell them for money. Tokoyami barely escaped them."
"How will they know I'm a creature if I have legs"
Keigo sighs. The memory is enough to send chills down his spine and cause the feathers on his hands and feet to spurt absurd and proudly. Whoever this friend of yours is, they're out of their mind.
There have been merfolk who have rejected their nature throughout their centuries to nest with humans, only to grow sorrowful in their regrets that they chose to live such mundane, mortal lives. To want to be with a pirate, the worst of the worst, someone who could only die in a few years of being on a ship, was like disgracing the creature world.
Wait- he heard right didn't he?
"You?"

So, about Bi Caleb
Warning: very long post, discussing bi representation and biphobia.
*Sorry for spelling errors, English ain’t my firts language.
I can’t believe I have to tell you guys, but anyways: Caleb is bi whether he ends with a male character, a female character on a non binary character. That’s what bi people do, you know? they experience atraction for all genders. Saying that a bi character that ends with someone of the opposite gender is straight and queerbaiting is incredibly biphobic.
Yes, Vax was bisexual. Yes, he ended up with Kiki. Get fucking over it.
Now, I can understand why LGBT+ fans may feel disappointed when they tease a “gay couple” but the “straigth” couple ends up being endgame. Notice the quotation marks because there’s not such thing as a straight or gay couple for a bi person. They are bisexual in both situations, but I can see where the problem comes from. I’ve been queerbaited to hell and back by a lot of shows and it really hurts. It feels like they are laughting at you for caring. But I want those fans (whose feelings are totally valid, don’t get me wrong) to consider a few things when it comes to Critical Role, the first one being: it’s a D&D game.
Let me explain, because I know a lot of CR fans haven’t experienced what D&D is like in real life (and that’s absolutely valid, you don’t need to play D&D to enjoy CR). This is an improvisation game, not an scripted TV show. In a Tv show you can plan ahead of time what ship is going to be endgame, what themes are gonna come up for each character and it’s easier to deeply explore sexuality and gender as different planned arcs. In D&D you character’s sexuality may or may not come up depending on how you play it. Take for instance how other CR character’s have stated their sexuality:
Beau: overtly. Very *In your face* kind of lesbian. Marisha said “fuck it, I really just want to romance girls and be bad ass”
Yasha: openly, but not as in your face. Ashley Jhonson wanted to drink from that WLW cup while also being a shy disaster. Seafood market is her favored terrain.
Caduceus: Our Ace king has never hidden his sexuality, and yet he didn’t mention anything about it until chapter 114. He didn’t had the need to either hide it or state it. He was simply vibing.
I think Liam is going that route with Caleb. He’s flustered by Essek and Edwulf (Come on you guys, he always asks Matthew if he’s still hot). He also had/has a thing for Astrid and a think he might have feels for our favorite Tiefling gal. I know we are all too used to characters being teased as gay/bi only to have execs pull a “haha jk they be straight”. But this is not Sherlock or Supernatural. This is a show that not only has queer rep, but also supports queer organizations and creators. Hell, I’m sure some of the cast members are LGBT (but I’m not here to speculate on real people’s sexuality). If Caleb shows attraction to men he is not just queerbaiting, doing it for fanservicing or tricking the fans in any way shape or form: he’s just portraying a bi character. The thing is, since this is not a TV show, he is not doing it por woke points or to send a message. He’s doing it because he wants to play a bi wizard with depression.
So maybe there will be a point in which he can explores his sexuality more deeply, but remember he is playing a game. And his character is one that has a lot of trouble opening up to his feelings. Caleb is not someone that makes sexual jokes or flirty remarks. He is shy, awkward and has developed a really fucked up sense of love that he is now slowly fixing. Hell, in the same Talks episode Liam explained that Caleb was trained on Honey-pot tactics. Which, for those of you who can’t stand Bond films, means seducing your enemy/target to get information, manipulate them or assassinate them. WHICH IS A REALLY FUCKED UP THING! Let’s remember how he was the one to push Fjord to sleep with Advantica so they could spy on her. That boy has Issues when it comes to relationships. So if we don’t see him being as overtly gay as Beau, Molly or Yasha, well maybe it’s because that’s the way Caleb is. Bi people don’t owe you flamboyance, or dating both guys and gals for your approval.
I wouldn’t make a post if it was only that, because I do feel the people who are aching for good bi rep and would love some more explicit confirmation. But Vax exists, so I know we can’t have good things down here.
VAX EXPLICITELY SHOWED ATTRACTION TO GILMORE. AS EXPLICIT AS IT GETS. HE FUCKING KISSED HIM. THEY WERE PRACTICALLY DATING. AND YET SOME OF YOU FUCKERS CALL HIM QUEERBAITING. AND I SAY: NOT ON MY WATCH! NOT ON MY FUCKING WATCH!!
How come a character can have canonically kissed another character in a romantic/sensual context and still be called straight? I know fucking Sherlock traumaticed y’all into having trust issues but believe me when I tell you: I’ts not that deep. This is not a “Haha I love u but in a no homo way bro”. It’s a “full homo darling, but also we’re gonna break up because I like someone else”. This is the opposite of queerbaiting. Instead of keeping a charade he was honest with Gilmore because he valued his feelings and realized that he couldn’t reciprocate them at that moment. And if you try to tell me that Vaxleth was forced and didn’t have a reason to exist except queerbaiting, let me tell you: you are wrong.
Vax saw Gilmore once or twice monthly while he spent a heck ton of time with Kiki. Sure, they didn’t had the kind of camera chemistry Gilmore and Vax had because Keyleth is not charismatic. She’s really awkward, and her relationship with Vax was more on the adorable and dorky side of things. I bring this up because I’m predicting something similar may happen to Shadowgast.
Trust me, I ship the hot wizards as much as any other critter (even though I’m a multishipper). But they haven’t talked to Essek in centuries. I think it may have been almost a month in rol and quite a few outside. And you have to take into account out-rol time to because they are humans (except Tal) playing a game and they forget about stuff (except Marisha and Matt). So Shadowgast may not happen because sure, they had really good chemistry for a month a month ago. People have crushes that die down over time All The Time. So maybe don’t be so butthurt about your ship not being canon that you accuse an ally of homophobia.
The cast of CR put forward such an amazing representation for the LGBT+ community and it really hurts me that you gets stuck on the one thing that isn’t canon. Matt has created a world in which coming out is not necessary because no one assumes your sexuality. A world in which people respect pronouns and orientations (except Tary’s father, who is a villain). A world in which Cad or Caleb don’t need to explicitly say “I’m ace/bi” unless it comes up in conversation. A world in which his friends can be whatever they want to be without pressure or reprecusions. A world in which they get to explore different gender identities and sexual orientations with full freedom. Let’s not interfere with that (unless there’s missrepresentation), and let them play their game. If you really need mlm or wlw canon couples or more outwardly LGBT+ people you have plenty examples among NPCs and other cast members (Allura and kima, Yasha, Beau, Dairon, Keg, Reani, Tary, Molly and Vax among others).
There’s way worst shows taking LGBT+ cred for barely doing nothing. Fucking Supernatural is the most recent example! Critical Role works towards showing an honest portrayal of LGBT+ folk and accepts valid criticism from their fans on the subject (when they changed J’Mon Sa Ord pronouns from it to they/them). They don’t owe you making your ship canon or portraying their characters the way you want them to (again, unless when it’s constructive criticism). Stop being so Fucking entitled and enjoy the show for what it is
,Respectfully~
*Edit: I´m tagging Caleb’s ships into the post because most hate comes from shipping wars. Most Shadowgast fans are respectful of the cast’s decisions, even if it disappoints them. But since I’ve already seen people accusing Liam of biphobia in that tag and since I’ve already seen this shit with Vaxmore I’m tagging the ship. If you want to read my long ass post do it, if not, ignore it. I’m not forcing you to read it. I’ve also tagged it with biphobia so people can avoid it if it’s triggering. I’m sorry if it makes you mad that your ship is not canon, but that’s not an excuse to be toxic to the cast. Those of you getting mad are the ones that need to read this the most. Like I’ve said in the post: you’re allowed to be disappointed, you are allowed to want more, but you can’t force the cast to give you exactly what you want. And most certainly, you can’t accuse them of some very serious stuff like biphobia and queerbaiting when it’s not the case..
