#glad you enjoy my ramblings 😅
Note
It's been nice talking to you again!
Thanks! I've really enjoyed it too!
I'll try to be a bit more active going forward but I've changed jobs and am attached to a screen 9-5:30 every day so tend to try to spend less time in front of one out of work hours...
I'm going to the next two games: Leicester next weekend, my first away game of the season, and then Utd at the Emirates which should be an exciting one!

Across Enemy Lines
Summary: Jon Moxley’s sister has been through a lot during her career at AEW, but Tyler has always been there for her. So when Wheeler starts messing with Tyler, Y/N is not going to sit by and watch it happen.
Warnings: family drama, fighting, arguing, violence, intergender fighting, weapons, threats, protective!Y/N, angst, fluff, Wheeler being a little jerk, bit of spice
A/N: I hope you all enjoy this fic!! It is quite long😅 But I worked super hard so I hope you enjoy!! The support I get on my fics really means the world to me and I love each and every one of you!!!!!!!!🥹🤍 And as always, a special thanks to @99hook , who always listens to me ramble about my ideas and helps me💛✨ And to @madhatterbri who listens to ramble as well, and helped me come up with the PERFECT name for this fic💜
Y/N let out a sad sigh, and watched as her breath swirled around the cold air in front of her.
She was sitting on a curb outside the arena, knees pulled to her chest as she waited for Taz's car to pull around and pick her up.
Tyler had been ejected from the building earlier that night, after getting into a fight with Wheeler and pushing an official.
She would have gone with him, but Y/N had recently become good friends with MJF and knew this night would be stressful for him as he looked for partners in his match against Jay White and his gang.
She didn't want to leave him, and Tyler said he needed some time to himself anyway. She knew he'd probably go to the gym and beat the crap out of some innocent punching bag until she got there, so she stayed.
But Y/N was now fully convinced the night couldn't have gone any worse. With Tyler getting thrown out, Mox beating the hell out of Orange, and MJF and the acclaimed losing, she just wanted to go curl up in Tyler’s arms and never leave.
But she turns to look when someone clears their throat behind her.
She turns to stare back up at the sky when she sees Claudio Castagnoli looking down at her. "What do you want Castagnoli?"
"Castagnoli?" Claudio sits down next to her. "I think you and I are far past last names"
"We used to be" Y/N says softly. "I don't know if we are anymore"
Claudio nods sadly. "We all miss you, you know? We'd be happy to have you back. Especially Jon. He misses his sister"
Y/N laughs, but they both know there's no humor behind it. "You think I'd come back? After everything? Especially the shit Wheeler pulled tonight?"
“I tried to get him to stop" Claudio points out.
Y/N lets out a sigh, her defensiveness fading. Claudio didn’t deserve it, he never deserved any of her attitude. He was the one who was always there for her. "I know... I'm sorry for snapping at you"
Claudio shakes his head. "No, don't apologize. I get it Y/N"
"I'm glad" she breathes out, before turning to face him. "Because, if you do get it; then you also get that I'm not going to just sit by and watch Wheeler mess with Tyler"
"I know" Claudio nods, but she can see the sadness he’s trying to hide in his eyes.
"I.." Y/N trails off nervously, before reaching over and putting her hand on top of his. "I miss you, Claudio"
He smiles sadly, and reaches over to wipe a stray tear from her cheek. "I miss you too Y/N"
"You know, I met Tyler during that feud we had with the Jericho Appreciation Society" Y/N reminisces with a smile.
"I know" Claudio smiles back. " I was there the night that Daniel was bothering you. I was just down the hall on my way over when Hook came and stopped him"
"Hey gorgeous"
Y/N rolled her eyes as Daniel Garcia came walking over to her.
"Don't call me that Garcia, and leave me the hell alone" Y/N huffs, trying to step around him and continue her way to the locker room.
"What's the rush? You should get used to me since you'll agree to go out with me soon" Daniel smirks.
"No, I absolutely won't Garcia" Y/N narrows her eyes up at him.
She tries to brush past him, but he grabs her arm to stop her.
Before he can get another word out, a hand grabs Daniel's shoulder.
Daniel drops Y/N's arm, and is then thrown against the wall.
Y/N's eyes widen as she realizes it was Hook who had come to help her.
The two hadn't really spoken before tonight, except for smiles and nods upon passing each other in the halls.
"You like can’t take no for an answer, huh?" Hook practically growls.
"Hook, it's fine. I'm fine, let him go" Y/N assures, placing her hand on his and pulling him off of Daniel.
Daniel gathers himself, and quickly runs away as Y/N stares up at Hook.
"You didn't have to do that for me, but thank you" She smiles.
"You don't need to thank me" Hook shrugs. "I don't like guys who act like that"
"You don't need to worry about me, I could take him" Y/N shrugs.
"I have no doubt about that" Hook grins. "But you shouldn't have to"
In truth, Hook wasn't just around by accident.
He had developed a crush on her, but was too nervous to approach her.
She was so beautiful, smart, and tough… and he knew if Mox found out he would beat his ass.
But as the two of them fell into casual conversation, and he got to watch her laugh at his lame jokes, he couldn't care less about what Mox would do. It would be worth it.
"He earned my respect that night” Claudio says. “He's a good man, stepping in to protect you like that"
"He is. He's the best man I could have ever asked for" Y/N lets a dreamy smile form on her face as she thinks about him.
Claudio smiles and squeezes her hand. "I'm glad; you deserve nothing less than perfect"
"He's not perfect" Y/N giggles. "The first time he was around me crying he had no clue what to do"
Claudio joins her in laughing. "When was that?"
"After Regal betrayed us" Y/N answers. "He came to my hotel room that night. He wasn't sure how to comfort me but, he came anyway. He thinks he did a terrible job but, I don't think anyone else would have been able to make me smile as much as he did"
Y/N didn't know what to do when she saw Regal hand MJF those damn brass knuckles.
She ran around ringside as fast as she could, and dove into the ring to try and grab it before MJF. But Regal grabbed her leg and pulled her back.
She whipped around to face him with fire in her eyes. "How could you do this?!"
He didn't give her an answer, just a sneer.
And before Y/N knew it, the bell had rung, and MJF was standing tall with the belt.
What should be her brother’s belt.
She felt like she could burst into tears, having to watch the man who had become like a father to her betray her brother.
But she kept her composure, and simply helped Mox out of the ring and up the ramp.
The fellow members of the BCC were waiting for them in the guerrilla, and clearly ready to go exact some much-deserved revenge.
Claudio walked over and took Mox's arm, helping Y/N hold some of his weight.
"Guys! Stop!" Y/N demands.
"We can't hurt Regal!" Bryan insists.
"He betrayed Mox! He betrayed all of us!" Wheeler yells.
"Shut up!" Y/N snaps, causing all of them to do so and look at her. "We can deal with what we're gonna do to Regal later! Now we need to get Jon to the trainer's room"
They all nod and make their way there.
Y/N and Claudio sit Mox down in a chair, and the trainers get to bandaging him up.
Y/N lets out a sigh as her eyes burned from the tears welling up.
"Are you okay?" Claudio asked her softly.
"I just... Can you guys stay here with him? I need some air" The guys nod as she rushes out of the room and into the hallway.
She leans against the wall and sniffles, a tear finally making its way down her face.
She scanned the hallway, trying to make sure no one was watching her cry.
But her eyes stop on Hook, Tyler, as he now insisted she call him.
He was further down the hallway, watching her with sympathetic eyes.
She attempted to smile at him, but she knew he saw right through it.
He looked back down at his phone, and Y/N understood why when her's buzzed in her pocket.
Are you ok?
Not really
Meet me at my hotel room, 189
Thank you Tyler
Of course mamas🧡
Tyler grinned when he saw a tiny smile form on her face. She loved being called that, and he loved watching her face turn pink and bashful every time.
But then Claudio walked out of the room, and Tyler quickly looked away before he got caught staring.
Little did either of them know that Claudio saw through the window of the door before he ever walked out of the room. But he waited to walk out to let them have a moment.
"Is there anything I can do to cheer you up Y/N?" Claudio asked.
"Could you, maybe, take me to get ice cream?" Y/N hesitantly asked.
But all Claudio did was laugh and nod. "Your wish is my command"
Later that night, Y/N approached Tyler's hotel room nervously, and when she got to the door she almost turned around.
But Tyler, who kept checking the peephole every few minutes, saw her approach and opened the door. "Hey"
"Hi" she replies nervously, a hesitant smile on her face.
"Come in" Tyler opens the door wider, and Y/N walks in and sits down on the bed.
Tyler sits down next to her, nerves coursing through his mind. He wasn't sure how to comfort her, but he damn sure was gonna try. "How are you feeling?"
"Terrible" Y/N answers honestly. "Hanging out with Claudio helped some though. And Jon.. he doesn't want to talk to anyone right now"
"I'm sorry" Tyler says softly, and places his hand on her thigh. "I'm sure he just needs a little time after everything"
"Yeah" Y/N huffs angrily.
She abruptly stands up and starts pacing back and forth. "That bastard screwed him! He betrayed all of us! Just threw us away like we were nothing!"
Unsure of what to do, Tyler sat and watched as she paced and yelled. His eyes stayed trained on her, listening intently to every word while simultaneously trying to ignore the incoming thoughts about how sexy she looked while angry.
"After everything, he just turned on us like it was the easiest thing in the world. Made us all trust and love him and then he shows his true colors. A sneaky little SNAKE is all he is" Y/N seethes. "When I get my hands on him I'm going to rip him into little pieces. I'm gonna leave him a beaten bloody pulp!"
"If you did that you'd never forgive yourself" Tyler interjects.
Y/N's head snaps over to him. "What do you know?! The only thing I regret is stopping Claudio and Wheeler from going out there and giving him exactly what he deserves tonight!"
"No you don't" Tyler insists. "You say all this now, but when it came down to it tonight you didn't let them do anything. Because you care too much about Regal despite what he did"
Y/N stops pacing, and a glare forms on her face. "Are you trying to make me feel better?!"
"Yes" Tyler replies quickly, suddenly scared of the glare that was now directed at him.
"And that's supposed to help?!" Y/N exclaims.
"I... I don't know.." Tyler trails off nervously as she begins pacing much quicker this time.
"Yes! Obviously I still care about Regal! But it's not like I want to! It's not like that's by choice! Do you think I want to still give a damn about that snake?! He's the reason my brother isn't the world champion anymore!"
Y/N suddenly stops pacing and just stares at the wall for a moment.
Tyler stands up, and slowly approaches her. He wraps his arms around her from behind in a hug. She leans back into him as he rests his cheek on top of her head.
"Why.. why do I still care about him?" She mumbles, and the sadness in her voice was enough to make Tyler want to punch Regal himself.
"Because you are such a caring and loving person" he answers, and places a kiss on the top of her head. "You are so in tune with your emotions, and because of that you love so deeply, and it's not easy for your love to break"
Y/N is silent for a second. "How do I stop being like that?"
"You don't" Tyler immediately answers. "It's what makes you, you. No one wants you to let that go. You wouldn't be you anymore"
"But it hurts so bad" she whispers miserably, tears beginning to fall down her cheeks again. She had lost count of how many times she cried that night.
"You're my strong girl" Tyler says, giving her a squeeze. "You'll be okay. Yes, it hurts right now. But I know you'll be okay"
A small smile makes its way onto her face, her mind now distracted by his use of the phrase ‘my strong girl’ instead of ‘a strong girl’, and she turns around in Tyler's arms. "Thank you"
He smiles back, and pecks her cheek. "Of course"
"I'm sorry for snapping at you" Y/N apologizes, placing her hands on either side of his face.
Tyler turns his head and kisses her palm, before smiling down at her. "It's okay, I understand"
"You're my knight in shining armor" she giggles, and he laughs too.
"Could I have orange armor?" He asks, and they both laugh again.
"Absolutely" she agrees, a smile growing on her face that finally reaches her eyes.
The two gaze into each other's eyes, soaking in the moment with happy grins.
"You are beautiful" he says softly.
"Thank you" Y/N replies. "You're pretty handsome yourself"
"Can I kiss you?" Tyler breathes out, his grip on her waist tightening nervously.
But she just rubs her thumbs back and forth against his cheeks. "Yes"
He wastes no time after that, and leans down to press his lips against her's.
It was short, but sweet and passionate. Everything you could hope for in a first kiss.
"He didn't ask me to be his girlfriend that night though" Y/N smiles. "He didn't want our anniversary to also be the anniversary of Regal betraying us. He said it wouldn't make for the happiest of celebrations"
Claudio chuckles and nods. "He was right about that"
"He waited a few days, and he took me out to dinner. Then to a random little park, and asked me to be his girlfriend there. It was so sweet. He gave me this that night too" She pulls a necklace out from under her shirt.
Claudio reached over and held the charm in between his fingers. It was a heart, with a pearl charm next to it on the chain, and the letter T was engraved on the heart. "It's beautiful"
"I know" Y/N grins. "I need to remember to not tuck it under my shirt. I'm just so used to hiding it from Jon"
The two chuckle at that, before Claudio says "I don't think that's necessary anymore. He definitely knows about you two"
"What if someone comes in?" Y/N rushes out as Tyler pins her against the wall of the trainer's room.
"They won't. The trainers are in the locker room tonight because of the renovations in here. Everyone knows that” Tyler replies against her neck, before he resumes placing kisses up and down it.
Y/N bites her lip as she runs her fingers through his hair, savoring the feeling of his body pressed against hers. "But Jon will be looking for me soon"
"Shh, it'll be fine mamas" That was all it took for her to nod, and stop worrying about her brother.
She smiled as his lips trailed up her neck and eventually connected with hers. She felt him smile into the kiss too, and give her ass a squeeze.
"We've checked everywhere but here Clau-"
Y/N pushed Tyler away as fast as possible, but it was way too late.
Mox had burst into the room, despite Claudio's best efforts to stop him. Claudio had seen Y/N slip into this room, and then saw Tyler sneak in a few minutes later.
And he didn't want Mox to kill Tyler.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Mox exclaims, and if looks could kill Tyler would have been dead on the spot.
"Let's not overreact" Claudio grabbed Mox's shoulders in an attempt to defuse the situation. "Let's give them some privacy-"
"Privacy was the issue!" Mox screams, before brushing Claudio off and stomping towards Tyler who quickly backs up. "You think you can put your hands on my sister and get away with it?!"
"Jon!" Y/N yells, stepping in between him and Tyler. "I don't need your permission to be with someone! I'm not a child anymore! And you don't get to treat me like one!"
Mox stares over his sister's head, directly into Tyler's eyes for a few moments, before looking down at her. "How long has this been going on?"
"A few months" she answers honestly. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Jon. But I wanted my boyfriend in one piece"
Mox huffs, before taking a few steps back and crossing his arms.
Tyler, who had been standing silent this whole time in an attempt to not further anger Mox, placed his hand on the small of Y/N's back.
"He makes you happy?" Mox asks, and Y/N immediately nods. "Yes. Very much so"
Y/N's eyes flicker over to Claudio's, who sends her a sympathetic smile before walking over to grab Mox's shoulders. "Come on, let's leave them alone and you and Y/N can talk privately later"
Mox sends one more glare over to Tyler before letting Claudio practically drag him out of the room.
Y/N lets out a sigh before turning to face Tyler. "I am so sorry for that"
"Don't be sorry mamas" he replies, putting his hands on her hips and pulling her towards him.
Y/N leans her head against his chest as he rubs his thumbs back and forth on her hips.
"It was kinda my fault anyway. I am the one who dragged your cute little ass in here" Tyler grins, before reaching around and grabbing her ass.
Y/N rolls her eyes. "It didn't take long for you to get back in the mood. Need I remind you my brother just almost beat you to death?"
Tyler pretends to think for a moment, before resting his forehead against her's. "I can't really remember that. Not while I have this gorgeous girl in front of me"
"You're so cheesy" Y/N giggles before pressing a kiss to his jaw.
"Only for you, and you love it" Tyler retorts with a grin, before kissing her jaw in return.
The Y/N and Claudio sit in silence for a moment, before Claudio speaks up. "Do you ever regret leaving?"
Y/N thinks for a second. "I regret that the situation happened. But it did, and there's nothing we can do about it. So no, I don't"
Y/N trudged through backstage with a frown on her face.
She didn't relish having to deal with Wheeler Yuta for yet another night.
And tonight was going to be especially bad, because tonight there was a parking lot match between the best friends and the BCC.
Y/N would have never told anyone, except Tyler of course, but she didn't like the way her teammates were acting.
The only person in the best friends that really did anything wrong to Wheeler was Trent, but here they were trying to destroy all of them. When they were already destroyed by the sadness of Wheeler leaving them.
Y/N almost cried at ringside during the match between Mox and Wheeler and the best friends. Watching Wheeler pin Chuck with the very pin he taught him how to do made her stomach twist into knots.
After that she started thinking about how their group acted as a whole, and how everyone was scared of her. It made her sad when she tried to be friends with people but they were too scared because of her being in the BCC.
And it seemed Orange Cassidy had started realizing that Y/N wasn't down with all of the BCC's actions.
Because as Y/N walked down the hallway, he stepped out in front of her. "Hey"
"Hi" she replies simply. Not saying anything more, but not trying to leave either.
"I noticed you seemed to.. hesitate last week when your teammates started with us" Orange says.
"I did" Y/N nods.
"Why?" Orange asks.
Y/N thinks for a moment. "Because I think the way they've been treating you is messed up. And I don't really like Wheeler"
Orange chuckles at the latter comment. "Yeah"
"Mhm" Y/N nods.
"Would you consider, maybe like, switching sides?" Orange purposes.
Y/N is quiet for a few seconds. She had thought about it, and to be completely honest, it sounded like a nice change. "Would I get to be on the t-shirt?"
Orange laughs at that before nodding. "Yeah"
"Then I'll definitely consider it" Y/N pats him on the shoulder before continuing her walk down the hallway.
"Cool" Orange nods before continuing on his way too.
Y/N wanted to run to Tyler and ask him what he thought about the offer. But at the same time, she knew it needed to be her decision and not influenced by anyone else.
Being a part of something where people would like her instead of fear her was a very tempting offer. She wasn't like her brother in that way, she didn't like people scrambling out of the way every time she walked down the hall.
It didn't make her feel powerful, it made her feel sad.
Y/N was practically stumbling over herself when she bursted into the best friends' locker room after the parking lot fight.
She was holding 4 first aid kits, as many as she could carry at once, and was out of breath from running.
"Are you guys okay?!" She exclaims, dropping the kits on the ground to run over to Orange and examine his face.
"Why do you care?" Trent grumbles.
"She's cool guys" Orange says before sending her a weak smile. "I'm fine Y/N"
"I'm so sorry they did this to you guys" Y/N breathes out. "I should have done something"
"Nah, I'm glad you didn't" Orange replies. "That probably would have just pissed Mox off more; he woulda just given us a worse beat down"
"So, are you on our side now or something?" Chuck asks.
"I.." Y/N trails off. "I'm not one hundred percent sure yet. It's not easy to think about leaving my brother but, I think I will"
Orange pats her on the shoulder. "We get it. It shouldn't be easy to leave the people you care about. That would make you like Yuta"
His comment makes everyone chuckle.
"And Trent?" Y/N says, making the man in question look over at her. "I need your help with something"
"Why the hell would you buy Trent's mother a new car?!"
Y/N rolls her eyes as her brother yells at her.
She was in the BCC's locker room, the entire team in attendance for Mox to scold her.
"I can buy whoever I like, whatever I'd like to" Y/N says firmly. "It's none of your damn business what I do"
"Yes it is, I'm your brother" Mox says through gritted teeth.
"Precisely!" Y/N stands up and crosses her arms. "You are my brother, not my boss! You think you get to decide what I do, and that all of my actions need to be pre-approved by you. But they don't!"
"Why do you even care about Trent’s mother?!” Wheeler snaps. “You know what they did to me-“
“They didn’t do shit to you Wheeler!” Y/N finally screams what she had been thinking for weeks. “Boo hoo, Trent was mean to you. But nothing that happened warrants the way you go after them!”
Then she grabbed her bag and stormed out of the room, brushing past the camera guy who was sitting outside of the room eavesdropping.
“So you’re on their side now?!” Wheeler yells, chasing after her.
“I’m not on yours!” She retorts.
Of course it was at that moment the rest of the BCC caught up with them. And then the best friends came running down the hall after hearing the yelling.
“Are you okay Y/N?” Chuck asks, placing his hand on her shoulder.
“Fuck off” Bryan snaps at him, but Y/N sends him a glare. “You fuck off”
“You know what?!” She screams, staring at her former teammates. “You can ALL fuck off! I’m done with you Wheeler! I’m done with running around behind you all like a puppet! I’m done with everyone being scared of me! And I’m done with the BCC!”
With that, she runs down the hallway with tears streaming down her face.
She gets to Tyler’s dressing room and knocks timidly on the door.
After a moment the door opens to reveal just the man she was looking for.
She immediately ran into his arms, hugging him around his waist and crying into his chest.
Tyler quickly closed the door, before guiding her to sit down on the couch. Where he pulled her onto his lap and held her as she cried. “Hey... it’s okay”
“No, it’s not” Y/N sniffles. “I just couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t take Wheeler, or- or the fighting, I-“
“Shh” Tyler gently shushes her. He wipes her tears away with the sleeves of his hoodie, before placing a chaste kiss on her temple. “I understand. But right now I need you to calm down. Can you do that for me babygirl?”
Y/N just nods in reply, and curls back into his chest.
The two sit in silence as Tyler places another kiss on her head and rubs his hand up and down her back.
“I love you” Y/N breathes out.
Tyler smiles softly. “I love you too”
Y/N sends Claudio a weak smile. “I really do miss you, Claudio. You’re my best friend. I just need to make sure you know that”
Claudio smiles back. “You’re my best friend too”
“And out of respect for you, I’ll do my best to stay out of the issues between Tyler and Wheeler. You know I stay out of your issues with the best friends. I don’t want to fight you guys. But Tyler’s a different situation. And I will only put up with so much”
Claudio listens intently as she stares directly into his eyes for the last sentence. “So you better either put him in check, or prepare him to deal with me”
Claudio nods. “I understand”
“You don’t have to come out there”
Y/N sighs at Orange’s words.
Her, Orange, and Tyler were walking down the hallways towards her dressing room. Tyler had his arm around her shoulders, and she was close to his side while Orange was walking beside her.
“But shouldn’t I? I don’t want anyone thinking I’m not 100% in your corner” she says.
“None of us care what anybody else thinks” Tyler replies. “We know you’re behind us mamas. But we also know it isn’t easy watching us fight your brother. And no one will judge you for that”
“What he said” Orange nods.
Y/N smiles, and leans up to kiss Tyler’s cheek. “Thanks you guys”
Y/N didn’t want to go out there.
She had avoided the BCC successfully since she left; she even managed to control herself enough to stay backstage at Wembley.
But watching Wheeler seatbelt lock Tyler, and then Mox start ripping into Orange about how he ‘ain’t shit’?
Well, that was simply too much for her to take lying down.
And for the first time in weeks, Mox paused when he heard his sister’s music hit.
She stormed down the ramp, and her glare somehow got stronger when Wheeler slid out of the ring.
He smirked, and made a mocking motion for her to get closer.
But his laughing stopped when she stepped right up to him, so close that their chests were touching.
“You have two seconds to quit that childish shit before I teach you a lesson” she deadpanned.
“What lesson would that be?” Wheeler challenges.
“What it feels like to get your teeth knocked out”
“Hey, hey, hey!” Mox climbs out of the ring and starts to walk over to them.
“Run off little gir-“
Wheeler didn’t even get to finish his sentence before Y/N’s closed fist connected with his mouth.
Wheeler fell backward, and Y/N jumped on top of him.
The crowd cheered as she rained punches down on him.
But then she was pulled off of Wheeler, and she yanked herself out of the person’s grip.
She whipped around and came face to face with her brother.
But she didn’t do what Mox expected her to. Her glare didn’t soften, and her fist didn’t open. Instead, she pushed him, making him stumble backward.
“Don’t put your fucking hands on me!” She screamed.
Then Claudio came sprinting down the ramp, and immediately put his hands on Y/N’s shoulders, stopping her from advancing towards Mox. “Hey, let’s all take a step back”
“You all take a fucking step back!” Y/N demands, ripping herself away from his grasp.
“Or what?!” Wheeler, who had just pulled himself up, yells.
“OR THIS!” Y/N screams, grabbing a steel chair and swinging at him.
Claudio yanked Wheeler back just in time, and pulled him further up the ramp. “Okay! We’re going Y/N! We’re going!”
Y/N held tightly onto the chair as she watched the three men retreat up the ramp, and didn’t let go until they had gone through the tunnels and were out of her sight.
She let out a breath, and dropped the chair to run over to Tyler. “Baby? Are you okay?”
“I’m good” he breathes out, pulling himself up.
Once he’s up he pulls her into his arms. “Are you okay after all that?”
“I’m fine” she answers, holding onto him tightly. “You’re not mad at me?”
“No” Tyler says with a little smile. “I’m not thrilled; you could have gotten hurt. But I can’t deny that you handled yourself. And I’m glad you got some good hits in on Yuta”
That makes them both chuckle, and Y/N pulls away enough to look at him. “I love you”
“I love you too” he grins, and they laugh into their kiss as the crowd pops around them.
They pull away after a moment, and they walk over to Orange.
“Are you okay hon?” Y/N asks, kneeling next to him.
“Yeah” he shrugs.
Y/N shakes her head at his monotone answer, but wraps her arms around him to help him up nonetheless.
Tyler helps pull Orange up, and the three walk out together with their heads held high.
Y/N had strolled down the hallways of the arena the next week with her chin up.
Tyler had won his match against Rocky Romero, and her best friend Kris Statlander had beaten Diamante.
And now after all that Y/N was curled up with Tyler in her dressing room watching Shibata fight Wheeler.
Tyler had his arm around her, and she had her head laid against his chest as she fidgeted with the rings he had on his free hand.
Tyler leaned down to place a kiss on her temple.
She smiled up at him and returned a peck on his cheek.
“You think Shibata’s got this, right?” He asks.
“Definitely” Y/N immediately answers. “He’s a much better wrestler than Wheeler”
But Y/N’s eyes widen when Wheeler throws Shibata into the ref, and then hits him with a low blow while the ref can't see.
“Are you fucking joking?!” Y/N fumes as Wheeler DDTs Shibata right on his head and gets the pin.
And as if that wasn’t bad enough, Shibata still tries to shake Wheeler’s hand. But Wheeler just low blows him again and hits him with another DDT.
Tyler jumps up and goes storming out of the room, Y/N quickly following him.
Y/N was ahead of Tyler by the time they were going down the ramp, jogging down it and right at Wheeler.
She picked up a chair on her way, and stared Wheeler down as Tyler climbed into the ring to check on Shibata.
Tyler didn’t even feel the need to watch his back, he knew Y/N had him covered. So he just focused on making sure Shibata was okay.
Y/N kept her eyes locked on Wheeler as he retreated up the ramp, paying no mind to the belt he was holding up.
She only looked away once he got to the top, and was more occupied with taunting the judges who watched him cheat.
She rolled into the ring, and grabbed one of Shibata’s hands. “Are you okay? Your neck is good?”
He nods in reply, sending her a weak smile.
Y/N and Tyler exchange looks, and they can both see the anger behind the other’s eyes.
Tyler walked into the hotel’s gym at 3 AM, still feeling half asleep.
He had woken up, and Y/N was no longer asleep next to him. He knew that she had a lot of pent up energy from all of the anger, and that there was one place she’d go to get it out.
He was proved right when he found her beating the hell out of a punching bag.
Being in the BCC had taught her a lot of things, some good and some bad. And some walked the line right between.
Y/N had learned to take her anger out in violence. She didn’t really know any other way.
She wanted to get her hands on Wheeler and rip him apart.
“Hey”
Y/N pauses when she hears his voice.
She takes in deep breaths as she catches the punching bag, stopping it from swinging. “Hi”
Tyler walks over with her water bottle, holding it up for her to drink.
“Why are you awake?” She asks him through deep breaths.
“I missed you” he smiles, causing her to smile back.
“Sorry” she says.
“Don’t apologize” Tyler shakes his head. “I understand”
“He just gets under my skin like nobody else. And TK won’t let me have an intergender match” she huffs.
Tyler laughs. “I should have known you would ask”
Y/N shrugs. “Wheeler would probably refuse anyway”
“Of course he would” Tyler laughs. “He knows you’d beat his ass”
Y/N laughs too. “Hell yeah I would”
“You should get some sleep though mamas” Tyler wraps his arms around her waist. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of Wheeler”
Y/N couldn’t help but smirk at the dark tone that overtook his voice. “Yeah?”
“You know I will” he replies gruffly.
Y/N’s smirk grows as she looks up at him, and places a kiss on his lips.
Tyler kisses back, and tightens his grip on her.
He pulls away and grins at her. “Consider it a Christmas present”
Y/N laughs at that. “I’ll only consider it that if you let me get a few hits in”
“I think you have gotten more than enough hits in” Tyler chuckles. “His mouth probably still hurts”
“I hope it does” Y/N shrugs. “That was just a warning”

love your interpretation of Xavier's character honestly I find most people tend to almost infantalise him or make it seem as though he's extremely naive just because he's really soft spoken around mc.
I've noticed that out of all 3 of the guys, the way Xavier behaves with us compared to other people, be it strangers or Jeremiah is completely different. when he isn't talking directly to mc his mannerisms is a lot more professional/serious, even the way he dealt with those men in one of the later chapters in that alleyway (can't remember it off the top of my head) was more abrasive than anything.
I feel he gets stereotyped as the 'boy next door' even though he does fall into that archetype but with more steps to it. he would absolutelh rock someone's shit if they were bothering mc, similarly with how he would outrightly show his jealousy be it in body language or his words. so he's not exactly a shy person either nor is he naive. mc just gets him in the feels a lot and I adore that.
so it's a breath of fresh air to see that there are people who still see past the cute doe eyed persona he has when it's just the two of them. sorry for the ramble from a random stranger but that's a lot of yapping to say I love your work and I look forward to more of your musings, writings and thoughts on the deepspace boys :)
he's so soft spoken and cringe fail but let's face it he only cares for one thing—MC. Saving Philos is just a secondary thought, because, and I really do think this, if MC wasn't ever gonna be harmed he wouldn't be as enthusiastic in saving the planet.
tho tbf he is the boy next door. literally 😅 they are neighbours. 😭
for most of his life, i suspect xavier really wasn't feeling anything. i mean with a dad like that, no surprise. additionally, he's a genius. like zayne, he won't have any friends/would have a hard time making them. add all those with being guarded 24/7 and this boy for sure has no meaningful connections in his life.
until MC.
he definitely latched on to that connection. the very first meaningful connection he's ever had. the fact that she reached out to him and specifically him definitely made him a bit entitled to her (remember he was going to fight jeremiah just like that! because he thought she had a crush on jemmy!!!!), though he's actually mellowed out since then. i guess age will do that to you
and aw, thank you! i appreciate it hugely!!! it's fun because they just stew in my brain and i need to talk about it to someone that isn't my bfs or friends messages 💀 but i'm super glad you read and enjoy it!!
#love and deepspace#dont praise me like this anymore im gonna end up arrogant and with a big head 🤣🙈#''no one knows them like i do!!!!'' 🙈🙈🙈#evelien talks

I have to thank you for all your posts about My Personal Weatherman. It's so interesting to go in depth about the language!
In the Ep 5 subtitles, can i ask if everything is correct in the scene where Segasaki is drying Yoh's hair? (It seems so since you dont mention it)
I really like Segasaki comforting words and I love this scene so maybe there was a little something...
Thank you so much anyway 👋
Hi hi I'm glad you enjoy it! I didn't actually think too many people would be interested in this much nerdy detail, so I'm a little surprised at the attention but very happy to keep going!
For that scene, the subtitles are close enough 😅 Unfortunately because of tumblr's 30 image post limit (and let's be honest my own tendency to ramble), I have to try and limit the scenes I include in the posts. Essentially, if it isn't outright wrong, or doesn't add/subtract from what we already know about the character as the drama progresses, I might drop a scene just so I have space to talk about another. Also, if I didn't limit myself, I'd probably be redoing every other line (though many of those changes would just come down to personal preference rather than right/wrong 😂) and tbh that's just disrespectful to the original translator 😅 😅
That said, this is a new post, so here you go 😁😁
S: 海沿いって 昼と夜とで風向きが逆転するんだよ
S: で 風が切り替わるときに無風になるのを
S: 凪って言うんだけど
S: お前は今その凪な
S: また少ししたら別の風が吹いてくる
S: そういう状態
S: So, along the coast, the direction of the wind reverses from day to night, you know
S: And, when the winds change direction, a windless area of calm forms.
S: We call that “Nagi”, and well,
S: You are that Nagi now.
S: Just a little while more and another wind will come blowing
S: That's how it is.
It's clear just from his tone of voice how gentle Segasaki is being with Yoh here. Unlike his usual short statements, he uses filler words and softer end particles as he explains, and of course, no rough speech at all. The overall effect is that he sounds like he's simply sharing this information with Yoh, without trying to force his opinion on anything, and makes for a really sweet moment.

Hey, I love this blog! Such a fun idea, it was an instant follow from me. I was wondering, do you know where the fashion plates come from? If so, I would find it interesting if you added the country/region to the post.
hello my dear! 💕
thank you for your super sweet words! ☺️ I'm so glad you're enjoying the blog! 🥰🥰
and thank you for your fantastic question! my answer is long, so I apologize in advance, but (un)fortunately, I have that Cannot Shut Up About Special Interest Autism™️ 😅, so here we go! (below the cut)
it's honestly a pretty mixed bag with knowing where things come from versus not knowing. some of the plates do come from digitized archives of particular publications that have publication info (including city of publication), but since by and large fashion plates fall under what I – as a visual culture historian – consider ephemera, they are, well, ephemeral, meaning that they often come down to us with less context than we might like
I will also say that even those that do come with publication info/location may very well have been distributed outside the city/state/region/country where they originated. for example, for much of the era of the "golden age" of fashion plates, Paris was The Spot for fashion, and so you get publications called things like "les modes de paris" (the fashions of paris) that are distributed not just in Paris and France, but also internationally so that fashion-conscious folks could see what was happening in the "fashion capital"
I guess all this to say that at this point it's not going to be super feasible for me to include location information for the plates, partially because that information isn't always available, and also because when folks submit fashion images to the blog (huge thanks to all those who have done this by the way – I so appreciate it and I love looking at what y'all send in!! ☺️☺️) I don't always have a way of checking sources, and I would hate to have that be prohibitive to people who want to send in images but might not have or be able to find that info
I will also admit that as a result of Certain Conditions of the Mind™️ by which I am afflicted, I would feel the need to go back in and provide that info for every plate I've posted so far, which feels very daunting. and again, that's totally on me – and I freely admit that – but that's just how my funky little brain works lmao 😅
I will end these unnecessarily long ramblings by saying a big HOWEVER, if there's ever a specific plate that you'd like a publication location for, I can do my best to try and find that for you! ☺️☺️ there are also some fantastic blogs like @/chic-a-gigot that include more detailed publication info with the fashion plates they post. I'm also happy to point you in the direction of some digitized archives and collections if you're after more specific info for research/academic purposes 🥰🥰
sorry this got so long, but thank you so very much again for your super kind words and for your great question! 💕💕 I'm sorry I don't have a more satisfying answer for you, but hopefully this makes at least some sense ☺️☺️ I hope you have a wonderful day!! 🥰💖

Hi...do you have any suggestions for a beginner fanfic writer?? Maybe some tips?? Love your work btw....i absolutely love your falling for the devil series
Ahhh, thank you so much!! 💖I'm glad you enjoy FFTD!! That series also tends to be my favorite of everything I've written, too. There's just something about FFTD Matty...
I could certainly give you some tips/suggestions that I've learned along the way! I've been writing and reading fanfic since 2005 so I've been around for a bit 😅 Though if there is something more specific that I didn't address--like something more specific with writing or editing or something--you (or anyone else who's curious) can certainly always send me an ask and I will always answer when I have a few minutes! But I'm not going to claim I'm remotely an expert on all of this, either. This is just from my experience and talking with other fic writers.
As always, the answer is below the cut!
First, I think it's always important to keep in mind that the more you write, the better your skill will grow with writing. Which goes for everyone, no matter how long you've been writing for or whatever your age is. I always see an improvement in my writing when I read something from even just a few months ago. And I even cringe at things like the very first Matt fic I wrote or even some early FFTD installments. So don't be too hard on yourself!
I think it's also important to remember to not compare yourself to others. We all have different styles and voices and that's a wonderful thing in writing. If everyone wrote the same or had the same ideas, there'd be nothing interesting to read. Everything would sound the same which would be boring. Personally, I didn't find my writing style/voice and grow comfortable with it until almost a year and a half ago when I started writing for the Daredevil fandom, so it's completely okay if you are still searching for yours.
Don't let any negative comments you might ever receive writing fanfic drag you down. Everyone gets them, and some fandoms have different dynamics than others where it may happen more often than in another one (though come on y'all, can we please practice the don't like don't read rule??). I think anyone who writes fanfic long enough will receive at least some hate. I've certainly gotten plenty over the years, and yes, it sucks and it can hurt or piss you off, but you have to remember to brush it off. There are likely many others enjoying your story to make up for that one person who's being rude. Block buttons can be your friend if you need them.
If you're having trouble writing a character that already exists in the fandom, studying them in the source material is always a good route. The amount of times I've gone and re-watched Daredevil, Punisher, or Kin in order to feel like I capture any of the characters in there just right is absurd, but it really does help to see their mannerisms, speech patterns, and to begin to get a feel of how they'd react in different situations based on how they've reacted in the show.
Lastly, when you write chapters for your fics and it begins to feel daunting, know that you can always break things down into more manageable chunks. I used to struggle to write much at a time until I learned to focus on the story in this way as opposed to focusing on everything that I still needed to make happen. Just focus scene by scene or even line by line. How to get Character A to do this or get to that point, for example, and it should hopefully seem significantly less terrifying. If you try to think of everything that needs to happen in a chapter all at once, it might begin to feel overwhelming and you may have the urge to give up. Try breaking things down and focusing on one thing at a time.
I could absolutely go on but I don't want to ramble! If there's something more specific you're curious about that I didn't touch on, or maybe you'd like more detail about, absolutely feel free to send me another ask! And this goes for anyone who made it through all of this! I always love chatting, sometimes it just takes me a moment to have time to sit down and answer. Hopefully any of this was useful/helpful though! I am always happy to help encourage others to write!!💕
#bella answers#tips for beginner fanfic writers#i could go into more depth on specific topics but i didn't want to ramble on#feel free to send me more specific asks if i didn't cover something!

I really liked your theories about the prototype and catnip and would like to hear your thoughts about some other stuff if that's okay with you. I'm sorry if it's not organised
who do you think we play as ? at first I thought it was one of the 3 most mentioned characters like Stella or Rich but poppy refers to the player by they (do you think one of those characters uses those pronouns or they used ot to keep the mc a mystery?)
also the most confusing thing by far for me is in the dream sequence we have the gulit hunts you and the radio messages but what do you think "happy and fun why was it done" it's so out of place compared to the others
Also the "get up " radio do you think it's the same as the death messages?
Also why do you think the prototype showed up at the hallucination when we weren't present at the at the hour of joy how did we know about any of this
Also is just me or is ollie after final fight call sound so passive aggressive 😅?
Aaaaaa thank you Nonnie! I'm glad you enjoy my unhinged rambling ❤
So I do actually have thoughts on some of these!
who do you think we play as ? at first I thought it was one of the 3 most mentioned characters like Stella or Rich but poppy refers to the player by they (do you think one of those characters uses those pronouns or they used ot to keep the mc a mystery?)
So like, I don't think we have enough information yet to fully discern who the protagonist is, but based purely on the details we do have so far, I'm tentatively inclined to side with MatPat on this one: I think the most likely candidate at this point is the unnamed Head of Security, owner of the executive slide with the missing name in Chapter 2.
We know that Playtime did take steps to conceal what they were doing from their Average Joe workforce. The instructional posters directly order employees to stay out of the Innovation Wing unless they have authorization. Marcas Brickley's tape indicates that he witnessed PJ Pug-A-Pillar moving around through the gap in the Innovation Wing gate, but he has no idea what the "monster" was, and he's disturbed and distressed by having seen it. The workers in the lobby in the Hour of Joy tape don't seem to have realised that Huggy Wuggy was not a statue. Poppy recalls workers panicking and asking, "What are those things?"
The correspondence between Playtime and the contracted construction company directly states that the secret labs they're building are strictly need-to-know, only to be discussed with those with authorization at Playtime and the building company.
Mommy Long Legs recognises us. Given that the average production-line worker was not aware of her existence, that means we are someone who was high-ranking enough to know about and be directly involved with the Bigger Bodies Initiative.
The Head of Security would absolutely have a good reason to be wracked with guilt. If that's us, keeping the Prototype contained, and the Bigger Bodies creatures compliant and harmless, was our responsibility, and we failed. We knew how dangerous the experiments could be - Huggy Wuggy killed several security staff during his escape attempt, after all, people whose lives were ours to safeguard, people whose families we would have had to break the news to - but we still failed to put sufficient measures in place to prevent a mass uprising (it's implied we as the player character are not fully aware of what happened at the factory, but we know that something went horribly wrong enough for all our coworkers to vanish from the face of the earth). It's entirely fair for us to feel like every single human life lost in the Hour of Joy is on our head.
Rich is an interesting possibility, but while he clearly doesn't like working for Playtime and suspects something is Off about the place - he brings up that the workers aren't allowed to talk to the orphans, and that the orphans are deprived of sunlight in the underground Playcare - he doesn't seem to be actively complicit in Playtime's atrocities. He's a regular day-job worker, not a high-ranking exec, and I don't think he has any clue just how evil his workplace really is. My suspicion is that Rich's audios exist to make a point to the player that good people also worked at Playtime, who didn't know about the Bigger Bodies initiative, and who were slaughtered regardless during the Hour of Joy. Rich exists to provide a face (or, at least, a voice) to the people who were killed who didn't deserve it.
also the most confusing thing by far for me is in the dream sequence we have the gulit hunts you and the radio messages but what do you think "happy and fun why was it done" it's so out of place compared to the others
So personally, I'm inclined to think that this is possibly CatNap, now a young adult, trying to rationalise what the Hour of Joy was meant to achieve versus what it did achieve. Because in the end, it didn't actually do shit. The experiments are still trapped in the factory. Cruelty is still ongoing, only now it's toys hunting toys rather than humans experimenting on children. CatNap is old enough to remember the glee and relief and catharsis brought on by the Hour of Joy, by being free, by being safe, by being reassured by the Prototype that it was all over. And then the gradual, sinking realisation that they're all trapped, every one of them, with a dwindling food supply and no hope of ever going back to their former lives. I think he's asking himself what the point was, when it didn't actually achieve anything long-term.
Also the "get up " radio do you think it's the same as the death messages?
Short answer: Possibly.
That's not Prototype's voice. We've heard him talk in his tape and in Project Playtime - he has a very deep, almost demonic growly voice. Honestly, the get up almost sounds more like Harley Sawyer, the doctor. But we also know Prototype is a vocal mimic, so that very well could be him talking to us, using one of his many imitable voices.
Since the hallucination is guided by CatNap, and CatNap has had a telepathic connection with Prototype, I actually have a few theories on what this could be.
It is Harley Sawyer. We know he essentially tortured the experiments post-transformation, Prototype in particular. This could be a memory CatNap has seen in Prototype's mind of one of those sessions - making a point to the player that the experiments were subjected to horrific abuse and an uprising was their only option.
It's us. Again, if we're the Head of Security, that could be us snapping at an experiment, suggesting we were somewhat callous and not particularly invested in their welfare. Which would make Prototype's Get Up death screens a deliberate mockery - turning our own words back on us.
It's Prototype, same as the death screens, and he's just using someone else's voice. You may have read my theory that Prototype was military, and if this is him, that comes through here; he's a stubborn, hard-headed determinator who has very little patience for us failing to make ourselves useful. He needs us. Get up. We can die later.
As a side note on this section, the "DON'T MOVE. DON'T MOVE AN INCH." voice? I have a fond headcanon that that's us. That's our voice. That's CatNap's - Theo's - final memory before he completely lost consciousness when he was electrocuted: it's us and our security staff cornering Prototype at gunpoint when he brought Theo back for medical attention. That's the moment he was recaptured - Theo's last memory of being human.
Also why do you think the prototype showed up at the hallucination when we weren't present at the at the hour of joy how did we know about any of this
Because it's a hallucination. We're not seeing what actually happened. We're seeing a representation of the protagonist's mind making sense of everything they've learned.
If we are the Head of Security, we know about the Prototype. Keeping his ass contained and making sure he couldn't hurt anyone would've been our primary job. Because we're a human and part of Playtime's executive board, we would have seen him as an evil monster who's violent for no reason, and we would have been given access to the shrink's reports on him - we'd know he's fiercely intelligent, we'd know he's stealthy, we'd know anything that would be relevant to us keeping the facility workers safe. But I think the protagonist underestimated him - a wholesale rebellion prompted by his mind control ability never crossed our mind. And here, I think the protagonist is realising for the very first time just how intelligent he is, just how much influence he has, and that he masterminded the toys' rebellion. We're realising it all comes back to the Prototype. And we're setting that knowledge in the wider context we now have of just how torturous the experiments' treatment and situations were while Playtime was functional.
However, it could also be to do with CatNap, since he's the one guiding the hallucination - Prototype's hand reaches down from on high to smite us, in line with CatNap's religious zeal. It could be CatNap trying to scare us off by showing us the Hour of Joy in a glorious light; his hero saving all the experiments. Fear him, lest ye be smoten, and all that.
Also is just me or is ollie after final fight call sound so passive aggressive 😅?
There is definitely a Vibe about that interaction, a distinct tone that he doesn't have the rest of the time. I'm undecided how I'd read that tone - on one hand, it sounds almost resigned, as though we've made our choice as to whose side we're on and the Prototype considers this us deciding we're his enemy, but on the other...that doesn't match up with my suspicions about his ultimate goal.
It could, of course, also be resigned as in grief. One tired old soldier to another tired old soldier: he knows we didn't really have any other choice than to try to kill CatNap, since CatNap was determined to kill us, and he had no choice but to follow through because all the doctors who could have tended to CatNap are dead, but he's hurting and angry and bitter about it all the same.
Anyway I hope you enjoy these ideas!

aaaaaa Hero you did *such* a phenomenal job with my submission suggestion (the middle English one, for anyone else reading this)!! I've listened to it twice and just read the transcription and it is just oh so incredibly well done. I hope it was as fun to write as I thought it would be ^^ (and your advice was too notch, as always)
I'm going to miss MA, but if course I am going to continue rambling about it to anyone I can. the whole podcast has been incredible, thank you 💚
oh I am SO glad you liked it!!!! I know I've already told you but as soon as I saw it as a suggestion, I was DYING to give it a go. It was so, so, so much fun, and was partly at the end of the season because I wanted to spend enough time on it to do it justice but also because I really wanted to end on something that felt a bit special! thank you SO much for the suggestion!!
It was so insanely up my alley I can't even say. Obviously this is a different time period, but I literally have a fake Shakespeare play I've been writing for the last few years in like, full Elizabethan English and blank verse and whatnot haha That letter was like, the perfect enrichment pumpkin for me to chew on. It was fun, too, trying to find a balance between being evocative of the language without being so unintelligible nobody could enjoy it. Hopefully any mistakes I made were forgivable, or at the very least can be disguised as legitimate artistic choices 😅
I'm going to miss the show a lot too, honestly, but at least what's already out there isn't going anywhere! 111 episodes, plus bonus content - not too shabby!

Hey! How you're doing? First I have to say your blog helped me understand those characters so much.
I have never read the books,I'm a show and movie only.
I know ,I really know Rice's vampires are poly, but I think I will have a hard time seeing Loustat with other vampires and act like they are soulmates. Yeah Loumand is cute but I was already in agony when Louis presented Armand as the love of his life. You will probably tell me that the show isn't for me then but I absolutely love this show!!
I guess I don't really have a question maybe I'm not used to poly relationships? Just how do you deal with it,I hope the writers will be convincing.
Hey!
Thank you I‘m good, hope you’re as well!! (And I‘m glad my ramblings helped a bit?^^)
No, no, I would never tell you that ;)
It’s just… important to factor in (I guess) that the VC are not like other vampire media, and so the show won’t be either. Humanity is not going to win this one, and there are no “good“ vampires here, they’re all a mess. A mess with history;) - and trauma. And the relationships shift with this history, with the events and times.
The show is doing the big arcs while also staying true to the “endgame“ pairings (as Jacob called it).
Therefore… just enjoy the ride? 😅 That is what I do. (And I can tell you that the writers have done their homework, and brilliantly so!)
There‘s a LOT coming up. The VC have everything and the kitchen sink in them.
Just… enjoy, would be my advice. 😈 (And feel free to ask if there’s anything unclear?! *hugs*)

Hello! First thing first let me say that I really like your blog and your work, your posts make me laugh a lot during a shitty work period so thank you so much for your effort. Now I wonder If you could answer a little question about MC and Sebastian. I remember the post of the first fight of Sebastian at the Den, when Marvolo offered MC as a winning prize to him. When the two of them were making out Sebastian said that he missed her in bed. So my question is before Marvolo they were a couple or like sex friends?
( I know probably the answer is deep in your blog but I can't find that 🥲)
I know that you are really busy with this blog and I imagine your own life so it's not a problem if you don't answer me, I was only curious. 😅
Thanks again for your work, have a nice day! 😊
Ps: my English is not too good so forgive any error. 🙏
Hello! 😊💚
Thank you so much! I'm glad my stuff can make you laugh, and I'm glad you enjoy it here 💜 it's nice to hear 😊💚
OK so lemme explain 😅 as I imagine my blog can sometimes be confusing.
Strictly in the world where MC is in a relationship with Marvolo, her and Sebastian use to like, hook up as friend's, it was no biggy really, he kinda had a crush on her, but it was mainly casual. In the series I did, in the early days, Sebastian also hooked up with MC while Marvolo watched, and Marvolo also fucked Sebastian while MC watched. 🤣
I'll be totally honest though, when I write things, they are often a self-indulgent idea in the moment kinda thing, and shouldn't be taken too seriously. My blog is a mess of different relationships and different AU's haha. Literally, if I get an idea I wanna write or something someone asks REALLY peaks my interest, I just do it and don't really think about it TOOO much 😅 I'm just here to have fun and throw out content I want to create 🙂
Sorry for the ramble 🤣
I hope you have a nice day too! 💚💜

Avbssj....
*error.. system rebooting*
Hiiiii! School's started 😭😭😭.
Anyways here are my thoughts/rambles on the reckoning cinematic.
§~§~§~§~§~§~§~§~§~§~§~§~§~§~§~§~§
Omg yessssssss Cyper's hat made an appearance. Can we just take a minute to talk about how smoothly he kicked down the door and said greetings like nothing bad had happened! I'm honestly surprised Thurston didn't scream his head of because I know I would.
Chale, imagine sitting inside your house comfortably when someone manages to enter without your knowledge, kicks the door down and says greetings. Like nah, I'll just throw one of my slippers as a diversion and run away.
Anyways... my boy Iso being so chill as always and saying I quit, that was some beautiful work right there Riot this is for you
*applause*
Omen being a badass and just shooting all the assassins while calmly saying he's looking for answers.
Like my grandma says “Blow man never dies!”
Sova being the hunter he is and Cypher just having a good time was just refreshing to watch.
I'm officially obsessed with Predator now❤️✨
Ok one thing I forgot to point out in the Reckoning poster is the word Reckoning itself. I linked it to Viper because I theorised her day of reckoning was coming because she had something to do with Omen becoming a wraith and I was totally right! So glad I pay attention in Literature Class!
Speaking of Viper, she's absolutely screwed.
I don't think the hourglass boss is dead tho...
Another thing I want to point out is we got the confirmation that radiants were around before the first light and my headcannon of Iso and Sage probably being radiants before the first light just might be right... if not still my Canon and you with never pry it out of my cold, dead hands!
Iso just being chill with Omen and asking him if he got what he came for was so sweet because it really shows the trust the two have for each other.
Cypher didn't die🥳🥳🤯🤯🍷🍷🍷🎆
Anyways I got two new ideas for one shots sooo probably gonna take years on that 😅
Anyways hope you enjoyed, let me know your thoughts on the cinematic and stay safe and healthy, have a good day or night wherever you are and lots of love from your friendly neighbourhood furry 🐺🦊
Oh and to any fellow exam candidates don't stop fighting, keep pushing even when you think it's enough. Make sure to catch rest and see your teachers about any academic help you need also see your therapist it can be your school's therapist or your own personal therapist or even your parents/parent/guardian/family member. Just talk to someone you know you can trust and rant to them about everything that happened in the span of the week or day. Trust me it helps!

Hello, dear author!
I'm not here to ask any questions, I just want to tell "thank you for your story*_* and I apologize for any mistakes. English isn't my native language and I'm too excited to think about grammar😆
It was a lucky coincidence for me to see one of my favourite authors reblogged your post with an update. It made me curious cuz I liked that's person writing - and I decided to read your story. And... WOW? Like why I didn't know about this before? A perfect mix of interesting plot, engaging characters, mature themes and good humour??? Yes please!!! I spent half of my night to read it and it was awesome!!! I instantly fell in love with Hanol - I love this kind of dutiful and loyal big puppies type of LI, but then I met his Emperor and thought "wow, that must be interesting romance - all this status/power difference". And then you give us mischievous and adorable noble, and I'm like "what am I supposed to do with all those cool characters? How am I supposed to pick one??"
Oh, I didn't intend to ask any questions, but I actually have one: which romance is gonna be angstiest and most dramatic? Cuz I'm sucker for pain and that's probably will be my first route 🫣
Ahem. So, I'll stop rambling now😅 But really - thank you! It's awesome story, and you definitely got one new fan💕
i'm glad that you enjoyed this story and the characters!! don't worry about your english, i think it's great :D
as for which routes are going to be the angstiest... wow! i haven't fleshed out all of them just yet, but from what i have so far:
yongsun, hansol, wooyoung, ????
some of the routes are more angsty than others depending on the allegiances you end up picking! and not all of them will have happy endings :")

Hi! I’m the anon who wrote the ask about Hunter’s parental issues and about his attachment to Kevin. Thank you for answering my asks, I absolutely love the way you write and how you explain everything! You’re extremely talented!🫶
I honestly didn’t notice how in love Hunter was with Kevin until I watched the movie a second time. It’s crazy how you can literally see all feeling in Hunter’s eyes when he looks at Kevin. I also loved how you said that their relationship fits a BDSM bratting dynamic, because I totally see it.
[and as someone who has ADHD and deals with RSD on a regular, I completely understand him. It sucks.]
Hey 🤘
[prev ask for context]
Yeah I obviously couldn’t be 100% sure they were from the same person but it definitely makes the most sense lol
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoy my rambling thoughts about Hunter as a character <3
If you do like my writing, I’m tempted to sheepishly gesture over to my actual Metal Lords fics over on Ao3 if you haven’t checked them out, even tho it makes me feel like a bit of a dick to do so 😅
(They are mostly locked to registered users, blame AI data scraping. The only Metal Lords fic not locked rn is a tiny ficlet. An Ao3 account is free tho 👀)
In any case, I really appreciate that you pushed me to do a bit of analysis again. Because sometimes I tend to forget that all the stuff that lives in my head as “obvious” isn’t always stuff I’ve said out loud on here lmao
There’s a lot to pull from the film if you’re willing to be a bit mentally ill about it.
And you’re absolutely right about the way he looks at Kevin, I mean, it happened enough for me to make a whole ass gifset of it lmao
Look at him. The boy is smitten. Clueless, of course. But smitten.
Which I credit basically entirely to Adrian Greensmith, as it was a vision he had for the character. I really can’t imagine Hunter having been played by anyone else as he brought so much to the role.
(Fun fact, if I remember correctly: Noah Urrea, who plays Clay, originally auditioned for Hunter. No harm but I'm very glad he didn't get that. He makes a good Clay and Hunter just needed to be played by Adrian.)
One of the key things Adrian brought to the role also being, probably accidentally, his anxiety.
"I spent a lot of Metal Lords feeling a bit anxious [...] and in hindsight I wonder if some of that was just a sign that Hunter was quite an anxious character [...] I mean his body's so tense all the time." - Adrian Greensmith.
I shortened that quite a bit so I'm including a slightly longer clip of the interview audio for more context. (I can upload a subtitled video clip if anyone wants that as well as link the video on yt but I'd have to do a bit of a search for that)
Aside: If I had to guess I'd say he's probably referring to Peter Sollett who directed Metal Lords when he mentions a 'Pete'.
And yeah the bratting thing was a little bit of a joke but mostly not a joke. Without going absolutely off the deep end, the mentality behind bratting is something I really see in Hunter.
Evie Lupine has a wonderful video about bratting and why people would be interested in it (and why some people hate it) but a short snippet that always spoke to me from that is the following:
"The motivations behind bratting are pretty varied. I think one of the main ones would be a sense of security and comfort. This is when the acting out is sort of a way to be reassured that even when you, break rules, even when you push at things, the partner that you're with is not going to abandon you." - Evie Lupine
Obviously, with Hunter's fear of abandonment, it's easy to see why this would appeal to him.
He also just...idk he has brat energy - sincerely, a brat.
And Kevin does just play out the counterpart to that. He doesn't always have Hunter under control but he tries to.
And he does mostly act as that safe person to brat against, which again amplifies the impact it has when Hunter starts to think he's actually losing Kevin, destroying that feeling of safety.
Aside: I obviously don't think that these characters, in universe, negotiated for a bratting dynamic. In universe it'd be something that just sort of organically developed within their friendship/relationship. But even more than that it's an archetype of a dynamic that we as the audience can easily read into their interactions if that makes sense.
Can you believe the shit they will accidentally put in movies? lmao
And yeah, I have ADHD as well. And RSD is something that affects me pretty fucking severely. I've only really become more aware of it in the past year or so as my partner has pointed it out more and more.
So it's definitely something that I then noticed more and more in Hunter too.
Obviously this is all just my take on the character, and other people might have totally different interpretations. That's the beauty of art, we all get to find what we need in it and read it in our own ways, influenced by our own life experiences.
Thank you again for asking, Anon 🤘
(if you want to use a nickname or smth to identify that you're the same Anon, let me know. If not, that's totally okay too, but I might not always know it's you)

I just wanted to let you know that i read lfls in like 3 days and it was the BEST and WORST decision of my life😭 Ive cried at least 6 times (it doesnt help that my fave is Leo) and got andrenaline rush during the fighting scenes. I cant stop thinking about. I dont even like angsty fics and try to stay away from them but this one is an exception😩 Also your writing is *chef's kiss*💕
Sorry for the rambling😅
I personally adore angst but specifically I adore using angst as high stakes conflict and characters emotionally working through what that conflict means. Which is the basis of most stories! I just throw my punches a little bit harder for story beats :}
Glad to hear you're enjoying this rollercoaster so far!

hi! just finished And This, Your Living Kiss yesterday and omg dmnfkddmsks people weren't lying! anyways, i was wondering if you have any recommendations on similar fics? poet!dean is just🥺
Ahhh I was also reluctant to read ATYlK at first because I don't like AUs in general but I am so glad some people on here cinvinced me to give it a chance because oh boy it's a fucking masterpiece!!! I loved everything about it but what stood out to me is how masterfully the enviroment was presented. I feel like this is something that gets glossed over in fanfics usually but this fic man! Made me feel like I was at the campus with Dean and then that I was in his poetry class!! Legit made me want to go back to academia, I am not exaggerating at all 😅 And the reveal scene!!!!! I was feeling all the emotions reading it!
Sorry to ramble, but this fic makes it so easy to!
Anyways, I am actually the last person to ask for fic recs because my ao3 is a mess and I keep telling myself I need to organize but I never do. So me finding fics again is mostly in the hands of the fates because I rarely bookmark stuff however there are a couple fics in my bookmarks still:
The Cheapest Room In The House by biggaybenny
aka the famous Grindr fic. And that makes it sound silly I know but I promise you you will expereince every shrimp emotion reading this
In this Lousianna Bar by fleeceframe
Premise: Castiel travels back in time to hang out with S1 Dean and it's beautiful and heartbreaking and there is so much love there my god
The Wreck by fleeceframe
Dean & Cas have a heart-to-heart.
(tbh I recomment any fleeceframe fic, I have read a good chunk of their stuff and every single one is phenomenal)
Regarding Castiel by eddiegirl
Imagines what would have happened if Cas had been in Regarding Dean
On Labor by a_good_soldier
I think this might be my most favourite post finale fix it fic ever. It's so juicy by which I mean it it such a real and true look at Dean and his neuroses and oc it has a happy ending!
Six Hundred Sundays (And Many More) by sobsicles
I believe this is also post finale? Tbh I don't remmeber the details beyond it being about these two idiots failing to communicate and then at one point succeeding. Also Dean builds Cas a gazebo!!!
sobsicles is another aurhor that just gets Dean & Cas so I'd recommend reading all their stuff of you dig this one
The Most Important Thing by NorthernSparrow
Northern Sparrow is another big name in the fandom and I think there are probably fics by then that are more popular than this one but this was the first foc of theirs I read and it just stuck with me because of it's wonderful premise -Jimmy is raising his teenage daughter except something's not right. This has a lot of Claire which I enjoyed because imo Claire is a Hamlet caliber of character on SPN who is constantly being underexplored so this was nice. Though there is plenty of Destiel n this too and their relationship does become pivotal towards the end.
Sorry these are all canonverse but as I said, AUs aren't uaully my thing! Happy reading! 💕

Hey! This isnt an ask meant to be answered but I was reminded by the book game that it's important to interact with eachother soo... ta daa
I just wanted to say that your work's really cool, it must be a lot of work to keep this going, I love the diversity in time periods, the newer things, from mid 1900s to early 2000s are fun, it's cool to remember that that sort of newer thing is also historical by now. I really like the older things to, its just fun to see the occasional pause from the rather intimidating puffy skirts.
hello my dearest anon! 💕
I know you said that this wasn't an ask that needed to be answered, but I hope you don't mind that I'm doing so, if for no other reason than to say a huge and very genuine thank you for this super sweet message!! 🥰💖🥰💖
interacting with y'all has been one of my favorite parts of running this blog, even though I actually didn't go into this expecting much interest or interaction at all 😅 I'm so glad the boop game gave so many people (including me) a super fun excuse to reach out to folks that we might not otherwise have ☺️☺️ and I'm absolutely thrilled that it inspired you to send this ask bc even though I'm responding to it late (I apologize for that btw 😅), just know that it made my whole day and even my whole week! 🥰🥰
I will admit that it does take a lot of time and work to run the blog, and although I absolutely do enjoy it for the most part, I would be nowhere near as motivated to keep it up as regularly if it wasn't for folks like you who send messages and post comments and leave notes in the tags - y'all are truly the ones who keep me motivated and enthusiastic 🥰🥰🥰🥰
now that I've rambled on, let me just wrap this all up by saying a giant and sincere thank you for this ask!! I'm so glad you're enjoying the blog and I truly hope it continues to bring you joy! 💕💕
I hope your day is absolutely lovely!! 💕🥰💖☺️
