SYNOPSIS: It was his spouse's birthday, and he had something special he wanted to give her. Though, maybe it was a little unorthodox for him to give something so... Him.

CW/s: hurt w/o comfort, Tinuvion is Esther's name for Wanderer, takes place post Wanderer travelling and final journey/choice for Esther, Nahida feels bad, damn the title is an absolute irony

NOTE: Happy birthday @mixed-kester :D I wanted to write smth thats tied to the endgame of the idiots(tm). This shit also made me cry while "Like a Dream" started playing so uh. have fun.

The Wanderer always said that he never needed anyone. To him, he always said that he would be fine travelling on his own. However, when he had met her, that line of thinking seem to have changed.

In the past, he has often been cruel as he is to others. Even the traveler would comment on his behavior, trying to dissuade her in 'helping' him when he didn't even want to be helped. However, it seemed like she didn't listen.

It led to him to continue his ways. He had harmed her over and over, his actions, words, and even behavior cutting her like knives. However, each time he did, she strove on.

In a sense of irony, it seemed like she was giving her all to help him. Even if it meant she got little in return.

Years had passed since then, and each time he remembered, he recalled the events that happened after. The stunt he pulled, the way he was broken in multiple parts of 'himself', that year long absence...

... Their wedding, rekindling lost friendships and relationships, and the final graft.

He remembered seeing her in tears as they said their last goodbyes. He remembered himself saying they'd meet again, that even if the him she remembered for so long never returns, their memory will live on.

And in his journey in their 'meeting', he slowly recalled everything. That part of him returned bit by bit, so much so that he went back to Sumeru.

Alas, it was too late.

"... I'm sorry, Wanderer," Nahida answered, the two beings standing over the graves of his late spouses, Kaeya Alberich, Xianyun, and Esther Arkados.

Even adepti were killed. After all, they can't live as long as an actual God, he thought bitterly. Just like humans.

"It's too late. She has said she wanted to stay after you've left, and lived her last years with the two. It's been decades since you came back."

Decades.

He came back on her day of birth... After decades of absence.

He could feel his 'heart', the one laid on her ring finger, beat.

He knows its gone. That ring will only be removed when the corpse has disintegrated, and he knew it was under the ground they were buried on. He had no hope of retrieving it, and yet...

"... I see."

Nahida looked over at the Wanderer, watching the puppet lower his kasa hat and chuckle sadly. She feared that he may see their death as a betrayal like others, but what he did shocked her.

Grabbing the vision that was granted to him, he lifted his hat to grab the dolls he handsewn all those years ago. Carrying them, he went to the middle of their graves and sat down.

"... Can I ask you something, Lesser Lord Kusanali?"

Nahida blinked, her heart dropping in her chest. It was a sinking feeling, like she just knew what was bound to happen. Still, she had to bite the bullet.

"What is it, Wanderer?"

"... Is it possible for someone like me to reunite with my deceased lovers?"

...

The archon looked down, a frown on her face.

"... Perhaps. But is this what you want?"

She looked over at the puppet, watching him nod and smile. It was bitter, so, so bitter. It made her want to tell him not to take this road.

She knew who else would be weeping for his loss.

"Please, end my suffering, Lesser Lord Kusanali."

She knew what would happen if she did that.

"I want to be with my lovers in death for once and for all."

Those puppets he made were all together with his own, and yet she found only grief in its creation. After all, it was the only thing reminding him of what he lost in his journey.

He's no mortal, but the others were. Xianyun isn't, too, but she had died in different circumstances.

"... Are you sure?" she asked, reaching over to his chest. "I will take it away. Are you truly sure, Wanderer?"

He laughs, though the look on his face suggested that he was serious.

"I just want my wandering to end. Is it selfish to ask for such a little thing?" he asked her, closing his eyes while he placed both hands on their graves. "If my lovers die, I'll follow them. It's the least I can do."

It was my gift for her.

...

Nahida took a deep breath and bowed her head.

Then, as swiftly as she could, she yanked the 'gnosis' she made of the puppet. She could see the body of Wanderer flinch and lurch, but it became still, with the tender smile remaining as he stopped breathing.

Holding up the 'gnosis' she made, she watched the vision lose it's power. She didn't knew why, but seeing it reminded her of something so bitter.

Something she experienced before.

"... You two are intertwined by the stars, just like what he said," Nahida muttered, tucking the items away to be kept in Irminsul.

Raising her head, the clouds began to darken. Rainfall was coming, but she knew it was the least of her concerns.

At least now, the four are reunited together. That's what he wanted, after all.

This is probably an idiotic question, but how much do you think Chad/Sophia and Milo/Alexis being in love in real life and that chemistry naturally translating onscreen has to do with why you ship brucas and literati: not a factor whatsoever, a small factor, a mid-sized factor, or a major factor?! I never thought it impacted why I shipped either of them but, honestly, on paper both ships are 'eh' to me and the writing has me cringing at points, but somehow when I actually WATCH them my heart is like 'yup, no matter what your brain says, we want these people together' and I really do think the actors' chemistry factors into that a lot more than I had realized. (The reverse is often true too---like my brain *wants* to ship brulian because they're a 'healthier' ship and Julian gave Brooke her fairy tale ending and all that but my heart is like 'eh, sorry, just not feeling it.') I swear there are a few Gilmore Girls scenes where I'm like 'that's not even Rory and Jess---you can tell by the tone and expression that it's Milo and Alexis lol' and same goes for Chad and Sophia when I rewatch parts of OTH. So I would say the actors' real life love coming through onscreen influences my shipping both those couples a lot, or at least more than I'd realized before. I'm so curious what your take is!

I would personally say that the chemistry has a massive impact. Not necessarily the real life relationships, though I'm sure for some that was part of the fun. Oftentimes, when fictional couples turn into real life couples, both the on screen and off screen dynamics are shipped simultaneously. I mean, it especially plays a large role in terms of Rory's relationship with Jess and their continued popularity. Their on screen relationship didn't last long at all. Milo choosing to leave at the end of season 3 and only appearing sparingly after that meant Rory and Jess never got a proper second chance or even a semblance of one beyond one kiss in season 6. Yet, their relationship is massively popular and touched so many fans. It's the definitive Rory romance even though she dated both Dean and Logan for longer. While Jess got a big push considering he was a real character with his own arc and story lines as opposed to Dean and Logan who primarily revolved around Rory with little things happening in their lives here and there (Dean's failed marriage, Logan's constant battle with Mitchum) that Rory would typically be there to observe, it's undeniable that what they shared on screen can't really be described as a successful romance. Both Rory and Jess had good intentions, but Jess also had a lot of problems that he needed to work through. He genuinely loved Rory, wanted to make her happy, and seemed committed to staying together after high school, but then his personal demons got in the way. So as a result, Jess let Rory down and failed to properly communicate the things that could have brought them closer as a couple. But, damn. The chemistry.

You see little moments like this on the show and also out of context in so many edits. You almost forget how badly things ended. Because how can you not love them?! And back to the chemistry. It never felt as natural with Rory's other boyfriends. I think it was more believable with Logan than Dean, but overall this looked effortless.

Also, Chad and Sophia. Good god. I don't know specifics about Milo and Alexis, but by all accounts Chad and Sophia's short-lived marriage ended in complete disaster to the point it's widely speculated that it played a role in how the endgames played out contrary to what everyone behind the scenes claims. Whatever Brooke and Lucas were intended to be in any given season (and I personally think that during season 2 at the least they might have been endgame), their chemistry far outshone the official Lucas/Peyton pairing. It was just so raw, you know?

These are all different phases. Through their initial relationship to the separating/divorcing era to firmly divorced, that chemistry never went away. Even when the underlying subtext isn't supposed to equal Brucas, the fact their love was once real off screen meant that it never 100% went away. Lucas could say a million lines about what Peyton means to him and how he's never been happier, but it never packed the same punch as the look on his face when he's around Brooke. And I'm not stupid. This is not pro-Chad and Sophia. The man got engaged to a high school senior. I'm not here to debate his real life thoughts and feelings for his ex-wife. I'm also aware acting exists. But if we're talking about real life relationships and on screen chemistry, it's relevant. For them at least, what went down in real life made the love story between Brooke and Lucas feel real.

As for Brooke and Julian/Sophia and Austin, it's interesting how it all kind of inverted. This is a good example of how other times, what's happening in real life doesn't make a difference in regards to on screen couples. On screen, Brooke and Julian were perfectly fine. I'd probably say they had the most heat in season 6 when Sophia and Austin were still figuring out whether they wanted to be together, but the Brooke/Julian relationship overall never had the same passion and effortless on screen affection. It never looked as put on as Lucas/Peyton scenes, but it was never exciting. So I definitely see what you're saying. On paper, Brooke and Julian was the right ending. It was evident how much Julian loved Brooke and that they'd formed an incredibly strong relationship throughout seasons 6-9. But because of the differences in chemistry, it doesn't feel quite as impactful. With Brooke and Lucas, it's like their love for one another is so overwhelming and impossible to turn off even when they want to. With Brooke and Julian, they love each other and it's really nice to have that comforting love after years of failed romances. But it's not necessarily the romance that jumps out.

See, this is very sweet. They're doing everything right. But it's just not the same.

darcy's short ramblings about side order

spoilers ahead ofc, im not holding back from anything so be warned

so i beat side order to 100%. every palette is done and i got every colored chip so that the collection is done. i guess what im missing is just the collectibles and a "hackless" run, which i will do in the next days (i need a break for today.. ive been playing side order for 10h today and yesterday it was over 15h).

here a lil list of things i enjoyed:

agent 8 content and lore !!! shes my fav agent (excluding agent 3 as shes now the captain) and i loved seeing her in almost all cutscenes !! i was super happy to see that she was part of marinas dev diaries and that she had her own weapon palette (that has its own unique design to it when u go to the menu !). thanking the devs for finally showing more of the relationship 8 has with oth

pearlina canon (u cannot deny it)

acht/dedf1sh lore ! loved loved loved finally getting some more info regarding acht , even if some info is wrong (im guessing its a translation error)

the environment. god the environment.. i love the aesthetic that side order has, from the square outside to the lil training room u have before entering the elevator. the stages are cool designed, especially the background stuff and overall just love the scenery of the dlc

the music. THE MUSIC. ear blessing, so so good

gameplay. huge fan that the devs took a leap and made a campaign with a totally new perspective of gameplay. i had so much fun playing thru the tower with different palettes, thinking which ones would fit best for my weapon and playstyle

but even with all these positive things i do have some stuff i dislike (? dislike is a pretty strong word for this):

not enough lore. i know we got SO MUCH lore bits, but i wished we got more. be it from more dev diaries, flashback cutscenes or sth

length of the dlc. this is sth that has so many ppl disappointed and i kinda get it ? the dlc is to be played several times (since its a rogue-like), but i wish the thing would be just a tiny bit longer. i finished my first full run in 2 1/2h (and that with the fact i had to re-do the tower all over again bc i died at floor 27), and from then on i just replayed it all with the other palettes i got over time. oe was longer in a sense, and i wished side order was like that too

story. now dont get me wrong, i LOVE the story of side order with everythign i have. but if i compare it with how i felt with octo expansion, it just didnt quiet hit the same. oe was a pretty emotional dlc to me (i cried at the end credits), while side order just.. didnt give that. i shed a tear at the end credits of side order, but not fully cried like i did for oe. i wished it had just more, power more emotion yk? but like i said, i still love love love the story !!

tone change from the first concept trailer we got. the first ever trailer we got made side order look so, odd and creepy in a way ? and i wished they stayed more with that. i love the aesthetic it has rn ! but i also wish we got more of that cryptic vibe

that one stupid fucking fish that spawns those exploding lil fishies.. when i catch u ricky.. ricky when i catch u ricky.

i love side order with everything i have inside of me. ive been waiting for it since it was announced back in february 2023. and im happy we got it. im thanking the devs for creating such a wonderful dlc.

it will always have a special place in my heart, just like octo expansion does.

🌷How will they deal with saying goodbye?

👯‍♀️How often do they see the others? Their other friends, too?

🖤Free space! Ask what you like, or request a random headcanon

<- hit us with your weirdest shot?

🌷shadow and omega b oth have very complicated relationships w the concept of good bye. they don't really age or die? omega specifically has the advantage of having very limited emotion and a highly logic mind, so he would not waste energy mourning and accept when things end. Shadow is def still trying to figure it all out. as of rn in universe ofc he doesn't have to think abt it much yet, he's doing his best to prevent his friends from harm right now, and he'd rather just face the problems as they happen. especially in shth he learned that theres no use thinking about the what ifs, because there's a right now that needs to be dealt with. the more he thinks about what differenciates him from others the less he can concentrate on what matters: the things he's got in common. like the ground beneath their feet, the star they orbit around, the wind that blows in their faces... He knows about the inevitability of death enough through maria, and he will try his best to not make the same mistake twice. he's determined to move on. ofc its easier said than done, especially in the conceptual event that rouge would fall in combat or even worse.. because of a mistake that he made.. but there are so many possibilities that i could analyze we'd be here for ever.........

rouge herself i think hasdealt with loss before, and she might have had some history with people that she has cut out of her lives. it might seem cold but i think she as a person has mastered the art of severing. whether its healthy is not the question rn... she def has a very soft spot for shadow and omega, tho as stated above these two are really hard to kill so there's not much to worry about in that regard, if anything it's a worry that might not plague her right now, but eventually she's going to think about what it means to be the one that's being severed by forces beyond anyone's control

anyways i dont wanna get existential this morning so this is where i stop

👯‍♀️I headcanon rouge has some friends she regularly meets in her bar (i'll let it be open if it actually belongs to her or if she's just a regular) and she would def visit knuckles every now and then. not saying she'd like. actually talk to him tho. might just lurk in a bush and stare at the master emerald

omega is a tough one to think about tbh. i admittedly don't have too many thoughts on him outside of being part of the team... this is telling me i need to dig more into his individual character tbh. what would he do for fun? when not with the otehr two?? Maybe he actually is like a gamer playing shooters and made friends in voice chat. no one believes him when he introduced himself as killermachine, they think its just a nickname

shadow likes solitude, but i really like that one bit in the recent twitter take over where he and knuckles stood in the forest for hours watching the plants and animals and hwo the light changes throughout the day while going through the leaves etc etc... theyre both very connected to nature in their own ways and i think they could bond over that. also about how they both prefer solitude. they can be alone together! they dont need any words, they can just exist next to eachother for a few hours and feel good about it. he also most surely hangs out with sonic every now and then. hangingout being racing and having a good fight together. though im sure sonic can eventually convince him to spend proper time together. for example making a race into a trekking tour where they go random places sonic knows or doesnt know yet, and they learn about the culture and obviously the food. shadow does seem like someone who'd like to learn about the planet, and sonic's the type of guy who's super eager to have someone to show around and explore with that can keep up!

🖤oh man idk weirdness is super subjective. uh. i wrote a fanfic once about how team dark and team sonic have a bowling competition

#fan lore #Anonymous #text heavy #im proud of that fic actually

hey i just wanted to drop a note to say that i adore your art so much. your style is so round and cosy and your designs are so expressive, and your poses have such a wonderful “weight” to them if that makes sense? just really nicely grounded, not floaty, like i can almost feel the actual real weightiness to the droop of penny’s tentacles in karlach’s hands, or the force behind a very snuggly hug. that’s the best i can explain it lol but yeah it’s just really nice to look at!

also i love that you had your tav unabashedly become a mind flayer, which i don’t think nearly enough people commit to in the player base, and i love that shes still with karlach anyway, it’s so sweet and very refreshing. (oh and i LOVE that your durge is a kobold omg, that is just so delightful and honestly inspired and must have been such a fun playthrough)

anyway yeah i just really enjoy your art and your unique ideas in general and i wanted to thank you for sharing both!

SOBBING!!! this is such a wonderful sweet comment, thank you so much!! that sort of organic, weighty quality is something i really enjoy in art and that i have a lot of fun playing with myself, so i'm very glad to hear it's coming across well to you! especially since you're singling out poses where multiple characters are interacting- that's always something i've had difficulty with, so it's very nice to hear that :]

yesss, penny eventually becoming a mind flayer is something i was set on before i even knew for sure that it was an option- let it never be said that i'm not a sucker for people becoming monsters. and i agree, i would love to see more illithid!tav stuff around- there's so much neat area there to explore! i'm also allllways a sucker for "a kind/good-aligned character becomes a monster and must learn to deal with their monstrous urges/nature while trying to stay true to themself but still in a very real sense becoming someone/thing different". always

i really enjoy the fic "thy people shall be my people" by leomona on ao3 about this- it's post-canon, a mind flayer tav and astarion navigating the whole Seven Thousand Vampire Spawn In The Underdark situation. its from tavs perspective, and does the perspective of a mind flayer in a super interesting and fun way.

no shade to the people who love the emperor (i love it too! fantastic character makes me want to gnaw my arm off) but i do wish more people played around with illithid!tav outside of the context of emp/tav.. like idk i find the concept of a tav that freed orpheus and became an illithid to wield the netherstones really really interesting and graauaag!!h. i have plenty of thoughts on penny's story, her relationship with the emperor leading up to the climax of the story, and her post-ceremorphosis but writing is shrimply not my forte. we'll see if i end up doing more stuff with that

(& EHEHE i love oth. he's just a little guy they're just a little birthday boyyyy. i haven't finished his playthrough yet- still on the latter half of act 3 (and a little burnt out on act 3 rn since i just finished up pennybun's second playthrough. we'll finish oth at some point, though, i still have a final romance scene to get to with wyll.). i'm so glad for the fantastical multiverse mod making playing as a kobold possible- i'm a furry so any more options for animalistic-looking species is a win for me. and i love the idea of bhaal's chosen being a 3-foot tall lyre-playing lizard. they're also just very fun to watch in cutscenes and stuff when the cutscenes aren't breaking. also when they are breaking)

but yes thank you so much this message really made me smile :]

Fic Authors Self Rec

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love!

Tagged by @banyanas and @prosebushpatch

Sorry this took so long. Tbh I had a hard time because I don't have that many options to choose from lol. Everything I've written in the last few years has been A Hat in Time

Catching Icarus

Blorbo bias. This is an oc-centric continuation story of Hide and Seek, which I would say stat-wise is probably my most well known fic? Follows the character journey of Tevane, the former captain and pseudo-antagonist of ch17 of H&S, as he struggles with the realization that he's rather far off course from being the kind of person he wants to be. Soul-searching coincidentally brings him back to Earth to meet an exiled fugitive Time scientist Lemel, who he hopes can use their knowledge of alternate timelines to give him clear answers about whether he can fix what he's done wrong. Canon-typical Earth shenanigans conspire to strand him on the planet, and together they get immersed in deeper mysteries of Time and magic...and grow closer as friends in the process.

There's a lot I think I would fix but also this was just a lot of fun and I'm really happy with the overarching character arcs of everyone and the way it ties into the themes of Hide and Seek overall. Also just an exploration of a variety of deep platonic love in various forms. It makes me happy.

Ill-Fated

Gift for Bany in their Beingverse AU setting.

Wanted to make a horror story from the perspective of people being hunted by pre-character-development Snowl, who likes to play with his food. A couple of filmmakers, desperate for a big break in their own ways, sneak into the forbidden Subcon Forest in hopes of unraveling the truth of the deadly place.

I think the writing on a technical level really holds up in this one tbh. I like rereading it. Sometimes you just get possessed and write something really good.

Not as simple as the storybooks, my love

The seasons of love for the prince and Vanessa, starting from childhood to death.

Follows the headcanon that they met in childhood and genuinely loved each other once. This is an exploration for how that changed, as well as the ways love can get twisted. In all honesty, I don't really put that much thought into the pre-freeze characterizations ^^" but prose-wise I think this one holds up like Ill-Fated.

Luka

Part of the written series for Mak's Oh the Humanity AU. Hat and Bow are invited to the premiere of their movie collab with both Conductor and DJ Grooves and convince Snatcher to get dressed up with them and attend a party, despite his hesitation around crowds and social events. Not only do they convince him, he has a few crucial realizations about what he sees in himself.

I've made no secret this is my favorite of the OtH series. The character dynamics have really settled into place, and it just feels good. He's starting to really feel genuine joy in his body and self. This is the self-love story and I like it.

Hide and Seek

The classic Dadtcher and Moonparent fic. Hat Kid returns to Earth after a dissatisfying reunion back home and revisits her old haunts. After starting the Death Wish challenges with Snatcher as a chance to have some fun together, she starts noticing he's acting a bit strange...almost like he actually cares. And she notices that she feels pretty good about that. To balance that somewhat confusing relationship, her friendship with Moonjumper brings stability to both her and Snatcher and the three of them start to truly Find Family.

Almost feel obligated to put this here since it's what started everything and respect your roots and all that. I wouldn't have written any of the above without this fic after all, and it's brought a lot of good into my life, especially some incredible friendships.

I don't have anyone to tag as I took so long to do this that I'm pretty sure everyone i would tag has been tagged.

I figured out how she’s going to do it, because it is within her skill set. The only problem is that getting onto that ship while it’s moving isn’t within her skill set so I have to figure that out. I’ve got two ways so far but it really depends on where she’s at.

Also, watched Covenant tonight. And I have thoughts about that episode because A) Dukat B) So MUCH character development and C) There was a specific line there (that I’m gonna probably end up paraphrasing) and it gave me another idea for her. So did AR-588 but that’s not happening in the brain right now.

Dukat: I’ve been/was touched by the hand of a god.

I forgot what Kira said but my first thought after hearing that was: I’ve been touched by the hands of many gods- some were inside me. Obviously coming from her this is a literal statement of fact but given the situation I’m pretty sure everyone would think it was sarcastic and move on.

Later: You were joking right?

Her to Kira: I’m an atheist. (She is an atheist which is hilarious because she literally knows so many gods and goddesses but she’s just not subscribing to any of that even if she does like them and occasionally gets into an on and off thruple with Santa and Gretchen- that’s Odin and Frigga aka Mrs. Claus, but whatever. It’s on and off because sometimes she does try to have relationships with humans/other human-like earth species/aliens but it just doesn’t work out).

Again, not quite sure how she’d get there because she wasn’t with Kira when she met the Vedek and didn’t have her own glowy transport assister or whatever the heck they call it. A transponder? She’s a doctor not an engineer all she knows is that it works. She could probably piggyback that signal using her own power but it would knock the hell out of her considering there’s no energy signal there that’s like hers to use as a homing beacon. (Maybe Dukat would send her a crystal as well?? I mean she did save him from that trap). But she could also get killed by him for being uninvited. I’m just going to assume she lived.

She’s looking around like Kira and thinking these people are absolutely crackers while wanting to help them and she knows there’s absolutely nothing she can do to help them. And there’s all this struggle with the knowledge that everyone who has the job she wants would figure out a way to save them and have it done before Dukat held their first services. (Yeah there’s some hero worship in her and it’s pretty strong considering these people and what they do for a living were her bedtime stories for years. YEARS. She’s definitely trying to hold up to a legend in order to be found worthy of the position. It’s not fun at all).

But because she’s tired, Kira is the senior officer, and she’s trying to come up with a plan, she’s just following Kira around and absorbing everything. I’m hoping at some point she realizes this wasn’t intended for her, it was for Kira, and that she needs to step back and just watch (unless something goes horribly wrong). Kira still ends up doing all the same things in the episode she just has some familiar backup and someone like-minded about Dukat to vent at.

I’d like to think she knows at the end that things take patience for everyone and sometimes it’s better to not be an active participant in situations because passivity allows for more opportunity (it’s a cult, Kira’s right, the only problem is she’s totally going about it the wrong way until the end because the forcible rejection is only cementing a divide). Sometimes you have to play along as unfortunate as it is.

-Horta-in-Charge

That is a wild ride, and I love all of it! There was absolutely tons of character development in "Covenant," and it sounds as though your plan for your OC is going pretty darn well! It sounds like an amazing way to progress through the episode, tbh!

Horta, I absolutely love this! I always get so excited when I see your url signed at the bottom of an anon or in my reblogs <3 Thank you so much for this and all the other ideas and comments you've tossed my way! (Feeling a bit soft tonight, so sorry if this sounds sappy.) I really do enjoy hearing from people, especially people like you who I'm really familiar with - and who are friend-shaped, like you!!! <3 I hope you're having a great day/night, friend!

5x5 probable cause

plot heavy one, idk if I want to watch it rn. Maybe I'll use the extra 20 minutes I won, even tho the dvd set is due soon.

(also just remembered a song: hey dom hey what show me how you buffalo I'll show you how I buffalo with my hands up high & my feet down low, this is how I buffalo buff-alo bu buff-alo, buff-alo, buf buff alo hey next person)

Ok so I did indeed spend some of my minutes reading a fic idea to my brother for his opinion bc he's smart but he gave no thoughts.

Why wouldn't tess pick up the mail? She's dead that's why Oh no blood oh it's still dripping Oh yo that is gross af

lmao castle comes out with a sword Oh yeah. College. Laundry. Oh yeah. College. Visiting home & eating food. RC: what abt your laundry? My lil bro: What about your lung water? love how the guitar sound plays while he toys with the orange juice

Lanie won't sleep for weeks? doctor parish? who works with the dead? who has been to countless murder scenes? probs more than a hundred even Would you need a second person to help you put up the body

Interesting editing & stuff. v nice. oh right, dun dun dun it's castle & all that csu got them first? I mean good... they always mess up the crime scenes

I had smth to say but forgot it bc I am not pausing the ep as much as I have in the past. espt has his gun

Not that you KNOW of first name? JE: Contaminated crime scene is not a joke. I'll square this away with CSU. You watch your hands next time, okay?

Looks enough like Someone We Know... Ok but isn't the juvvie file sealed until they actually commit a crime as an adult? This guy has not been proven to have done any crimes yet

Hm. Man has curlier hair than I expected. friday morning, friday evening... Hm I like his shirt. Kind of pink but faint squares patterned on it.

True, he would probably not be flustered

Ah good, they have a diagram of the sigil thing

KB: A diamond earring? KR: We found it in the couch. CSU couldn't pull a print off it, but you see the design? That's custom - Erica Courtney. JE: And you know this how? KR: I recognized it from when Jenny and I went ring shopping. [Esposito gives Ryan a teasingly dubious look.] KR: Anyway,

Looks like Someone We Know you can't see the hair colour there bro. Also othe nose is too long

first names & stuff.

*closes the door after becks leaves but before espt can, right in front of his face* Javi, there's something you need to know

Cut to the shock at finding out abt their relationship He looks ahocked af lmao Normally I'd be happy for them! Also neat to see his financials. Mostly car & cab stuff. A radio donation tho which sounds fun. So many first names this episode

Did I throw a party & forget again? XD At least he is seeing the warrant The way he waited for her to say who bought it for her implies he didn't know LT holding him back THE MUSIC WHEN HER EYES GO TO HIM DANG

If the killer was THAT meticulous, then he would not have left evidence like that in his own apartment

Find evidence. That is your job

When you look through castle's phone records we know well you only learned of it this day my dude reminds me of the "we're detectives" 'called your dad' scene

Yeah. Gates is probs the best for this interrogation His scalp moved lol RC: I'm flattered but it wasn't me! castle it is not best to point fingers away from yourself for the sake of getting them away from you. I mean it is, it is important that they investigate all avenues, but still. How does a burner cell send a messag efrom tess's phone? Paid companion is a nice way to put it

Girl you can check his word count, teachers use that technology to check how students are doing tests. It shows when the changed were made.

love martha's gloves the music is great saying "nobody could have gotten in" is not helpful

Remember back in like s2 or smth when becks said "don't worry castle I'd break you out" it was the galaxy of greg episode, the prison break episode yeah 3x5

the same way as tessa's? But the affair? Seriously? That was included in the details? Oof the music

sitting on the floor hhhh crying hhhhhhhhhhhh maybe he was already writing the dry run & killed her in strangling passion & then he used the written murder (which he as not planning on committing) to hide it & deleted the file to hide that fact

like a little boy so scared sdjdskhfjsh sad sad sad "fun?"

Oooh nice angle babes!

FREAKIN J ROOK? I DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO SEE THAT THE FIRST TIME HOLY CROWS 3XK??? but i don't think human noses can tho... do you legit prefer to go by 3xk? not the triple killer not jerry tyson not any other names you had? (btw, marcus gates killed two women & attempted killing another, NOT jerry tyson. I don't think we have actually seen 3xk kill anyone on the show yet. (I noticed that she was strangled with a scarf or rope when dr parish mentioned it earlier this episode but I didn't want to spoil it)

Yeah he really is thorough isn't he He's right, I did think that while he strangled her she is not blonde. Yeah was the writing style castle's? He already said that he prefers 3xk, ricky four years in prison. He was going to pin it on marcus gates, give his brother the surgery, & marcus would go to prison & then he could go killing again. That was his vanishing act. I thought u said u could smell fear not taste it I can see that. Destroy.. ..you,, better than kill not the daughter, not the making love, this is freaking horrifying, & I kind of love it lies of a desperate man, esp one who writes fiction Wait so you WILL kill him? or get him killed? Look into the guys he hired then! Look into the hitmen! lil bro: Scratch him! Get his DNA under your nails!

I wonder how ryan is reacting to this. castle's blue eyes are colourless in this lighting, I love it.

3xk targeted women to kill, he is not killing castle tho Ooh I always like ryan's square patterned shirts

"not at this time" is a great response

Been to central as a cop or as a prisoner esposito? & I like beckett's turtleneck too

I think Dever's acting is the only thing here,

who the heck is "jav"? That's like if a "P.J." was to go by "Peej" or "P" when PJ is already a nickname for peter jacob or paul james or whatever. lil bro: jav you found any evidence yet?

Oh wait... she is not thinking of holding's security for keeping him, she is thinking of it for breaking him out!! WHO got out of holding? Tyson? No, when? Wasn't it the CIA guy who also took a body? gates was like "how did he walk out the front door?" When was tyson ever in holding? He appeared in 3x6, then his gun in 4x14, & now in 5x5, but he was never in holding. 4x15 pandora thomas gage left holding. OH WAIT TYSON DID IT NOW, TODAY I love him too <3 <3 <3

castle still making jokes That flashback <3 Velasquez & LT! We know both their names! Oof he's just walking thry there, everyone sees him, look at that, also look at those boobs on that man. OH NO WHO TOOK HIM!?!?!?

OH NO 3XK KILLED HIM He IS well connected, he is well connected, has resources, & knows procedure, you're correct So what's our next *turns & becks is gone* ...Move?

Like ryan pretending to be a kid in the library in kick the ballistics man still needs to change his look the less you know DEFINITELY the better

Right! He really is the son of a broadway star

Wow lol weirdos there

wow it IS richard castle See? I said the nose is not right

I have not paused enough & I keep not writing things down but I am running out of my allotted time. Anyway I remember what I forgot: ryan doesn't get a lot of screen time, he is wading thru paperwork, he is messed up with this case, he is hurt & angry & doing everything he can to help castle & get 3xk.

looks "a bit" like the show's producer? yeah no

becks maybe don't reveal that you're with a fugitive...

lmao french serial killer Most ppl don't use initials. Calls them "kev" & "espo" & a little earlier "jav" <3

It is not going to be a person it will be a rotating fan or smth wearing their vests but not castle lol remember when ben conrad who wasn't ben conrad shot someone & then disappeared into the closet or smth? What if 3xk did that & he's still here?

Why is castle still here?

He should become a murder mystery writer then, if he likes the pageantry of killing but death only takes a moment.

VG: For this, at least. There's still the matter of your escape from custody. I like gates' looks right now. rly pretty, nice hair, nice red coat girl he escaped before, I'm sure he can do it again.

This is NOT just a place for a stationary conversation for the point of an interesting director's/writer's choice

running em off the bridge? Haven't we seen that already?

He fell back & she kept shooting, which, good, double tap, but she has decently good aim Is that blood on his face? WHERE did he throw away the gun? don't telegraph your location idiot

that is a lot of bubbling water

IT IS ALREADY DAYTIME & THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED?

just like james gillies. He is NOT that careless you are correct. But then why was he meticulous enough in other places? Because either way he would win? either castle dies & beckett lives knowing he was innocent, or castle escapes but 3xk fakes his death?

Just like derrick storm! It has to be public & it has to be final

For now

Ooh interesting outro music! I freaking love it! I should grab my fiddle! Holy moly! They wree right when they wrote this, it can be groovy spy music, it can be sexy 40s music, it can be silly little silly guy music, it can be tragic romantic music... It is a good little riff

Ok now that was incredible. I also wish we got more ryan time in this ep but they couldn't include it bc if they did they would have to include more of him to explain & resolve it. Or you know, maybe I'll be forced to write an episode tag fanfic.

I got off at 15.30, perfect timing!

but now I've spent a whole hour working on a fanfic with my little bro. a casefic dw.

i think at the show's height peyton was as reviled as marissa. a lot of the hate - in both cases - have a strong sexist strain of how dare these girls complain about their problems and drag down my show. it was really uplifting how much hilarie loves and defends peyton. i wish someone would tell barton that the people who love marissa love her for her emotional complexity and kindness, not super tragic party girl shtick. it's obvious she's internalised a lot of negative ideas communicated to her

Ugh, that's so lame. Definitely agreed about the sexism thing and the similarities to the hate that Marissa Cooper received from fans. The "dramas" of these young women are not considered compelling or interesting for various reasons, not exclusively but often partly because they are deemed to transgress some other invisible norm of femininity. (I would also add Rory Gilmore to this select group of female teen characters who get unfairly hated on by fans). Again, we can like and not like whichever characters you want, but it's important to interrogate your reactions if they are so strong you are writing "anti-X" posts on social media 🙃 I'd love it if the marissa discourse extended to cover a wider analysis of female characters on teen shows in the early-mid 00's.

But yes, I love how Hilarie Burton Morgan defends Peyton, and I especially love how Sophia Bush defends Peyton, especially when so many Peyton-haters love the character of Brooke Davis. It's extra meaningful that the actress who plays Brooke is so protective of Peyton.

And same, I agree that Mischa Barton's conception of Marissa doesn't really line up with what so many fans loved about the character. It is what it is, and it's not exactly an uncommon phenomenon for an actor to have a different vision than the fans, but if I could write MB a letter I would tell her exactly what you said, that the fans love Marissa for her kindness and her openness and her emotional depth.

I caught up with the OTH podcast, and omg, I just love it so much. It's what The OC podcast should be. I am in awe of the three women, Bethany Joy Lenz, Hilarie Burton Morgan, and Sophia Bush--they are so thoughtful and intelligent, and they thread the line perfectly between loving the show and looking at it as a piece of culture to be analyzed and critiqued. And they also are so good at reflecting on their own personal growth and how it affected their experience on the show and their perspective now, how they've changed since 2003. Their friendship is so beautiful, they are so supportive and loving toward one another, it's so special to see. The podcast is actually making me want to rewatch OTH, which I have never actually done because I never cared enough. And they are spilling actual tea! Like, I loved when they were talking about the evolving relationships and they all revealed that they were told different things by the writers/producers about the endgame relationships...they told Hilarie that Peyton and Jake were endgame and told Sophia that Brooke and Lucas were endgame (I am assuming this was sometime in later S1/early S2...). (Also knowing this, it definitely makes me more and more confident that MB and RB would have been told different things on set about each other and their characters). Anyway, really can't recommend the podcast enough...it's such a fun listen.

Ok, I'm going to slide in here and awkwardly ask something, but feel free to ignore it: if you had full creative control of the show, how would you run season 5? You can pick and choose whatever leaks you want to include.

Bless your soul, you are truly such a positive and lovely force in this fandom from your meta to your gorgeous gifsets and writing! I’ve seen so many good answers today on my dash and while I have kind of abandoned canon post-4x17, I can’t pretend I haven’t been paying attention in the hopes that they can eventually get me back on board.

ANYWAY so I continue to find both Archie and Betty’s actions SO out of character, and I’m personally of the mind that the most fun/Riverdaleian way to solve this would’ve been for the mystery to somehow explain it

I’d be all for @sullypants’ tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that Charles somehow manipulated Betty and Archie to break up bughead or some other very riverdale explanation that involves cults, the Stonies, or even a grand alliance of past villains conspiring to break up bughead bc they are Too Powerful against their foes.

I also just headcanon Betty and Jughead as truly being the only one for each other so I feel like I’d be a lot less excited to see either of them with the anti-Jug or anti-Betty that others have predicted, tho I do think that makes sense. So here’s my insane idea for how to avoid that—this is truly wild and ridiculous but—wouldn’t it be so fun if Bughead didn’t break up bc of the kiss, but it’s somehow implied they broke up during college along with Varchie and Choni...Then we flash forward and find Betty and Jughead both in riverdale, acting like they’re broken up, only to find by the end of the episode(s) that they are actually still together but needed to go undercover as not-together in order to investigative whatever strange thing brings everyone back to town? I would love to see these two with their own PI firm (Betty would never be able to stay within FBI rules imo) and we’d still get all the cuteness of having to pretend publicly that they’re not in love. I love the idea of jug as a successful author in theory but it also feels very young for that so I’d just be here for knowing that his PI work with love of his life betty is what fuels his writing whether or not he’s published yet.

I just want my investigative duo bughead and I’ve always just loved the idea that they’re the mom and dad of the friend group, the only ones who are still together since high school (a la Naley in OTH minus the injury/near-broken marriage) who end up relationship counseling their friends as they navigate their exes.

Other things on my wishlist include:

Bisexual Archie AND bisexual Veronica slowly finding their way back to each other (and Veronica being wildly successful. I could see her single, playing the field, perhaps too damaged from her breakup with Archie to truly let anyone in. I see her more as Brooke Davis in OTH post Lucas Scott heartbreak you know? So strong except when it comes to love bc she’s so bruised.)

Also keeping Choni apart for longer before they find their way back to each other bc their original relationship development was 100% the weakest of the three big ships and they deserve better build up

More mechanic Betty!

Toni, Reggie, Kevin, and the Pussycats having full storylines. I’d love for Toni to be part of the main mystery for once bc I always felt her dynamic with Betty and Jughead is underused.

More group scenes! Everyone actually playing a role in the overall narrative while having an individual journey that makes sense for their character.

More core four friendship — would actually want to see Jarchie, Beronica, even the Barchie FRIENDSHIP given more care and attention.

Idk I feel like there’s a ton more I would’ve said after 4x16 but I have so much less creativity or hope for canon riverdale than I used to. Am loving seeing all the responses tho!!!

Humans are Weird “Humor.”

Good morning everyone! Decided to write something nice and short today because I know a lot of you are here for that. I haven’t done it in a while, so I hope you appreciate my return :)

Scene: Dr Krill (an alien with arguably the most experience dealing with humans) is being interviewed on-record during the intergalactic convention of psycho-bio-medical science.

Q: WHat was the hardest thing for you to get used to the first time you stepped aboard a human ship?

A: To ask that question I would have to tell you about practically everything that happened to me while I was there. Living with humans is hard, and strange if you aren’t human. Everything about them is strange, and more complicated than it needs to be. For the longest time I had trouble keeping up with their communication.

Q: I was told that human communication is relatively simple.

A: Whoever told you that has never met a human, when humans speak they use oth verbal and body language to demonstrate their point, and worse than tha, they intentionally use irony, hyperbole, sarcasm and humor to communicate what they are saying.

Q: What is ... humor.

A: “\Now, as the humans would say sit back and rela because you just opened a massive can of worms.

Q What

A Exactly, human communication doesn’t make sense unless you spend time with them. You practically have to BECOME human to understand anything that’s going on. As for the case of humor, it is very complicated, and I still don’t quite understand it. I have experienced the phenomenon of humor in a way I don’t think is possible for many of my species. I’ve tried to explain it before, but it’s Ike explaining the color blue to a creature who seems primarily in infrared, they just won;t get it.

Q can you try?

A Of course I will. Humor is the appreciation of a specific situation or turn of phrase, but even that is completely inadequate to explain what humor is. It’s a….. primarily social, but not always, experience that is designed to help a group of humans empathizes, connect, or diffuse a situation. It is very important to be able to see the humor when with a group of humans because it will strengthen a social bond between you and them.

Q Can we have some examples.

A Well…. this could potentially be a long list so forgive me if I ramble on.

Humans have these things called jokes, sometimes they are stories and sometimes they are clever word play. The story joke generally begins with something that seems normal or at least plausible but the ... punch line (as the humans call it) is designed to be absurd, exaggerated or unexpected. For example you have three humans stranded on an island, one has dark hair, one has red hair, one has yellow hair. They dark hair human gets tired of this, and tries to swim back to the mainland, halfway across she drowns. Eventually the red hair human gets tired of being on the island and tries to swim as well, but she drowns halfway there. Finally the light hair human decides to try. She gets halfway to her destination, gets tired and swims back.

Q And what makes that funny. Two humans died.

A It’s funny because the last human got halfway there and swam back implying she could have made it all the way to the mainland but was too dumb to do so. Exaggerated lack of intelligence, and an absurd situation.

In the case of word play you can say something like: what do you get when you cross a centipede with a parrot. ONe of those is a creature with many legs, and the other one is a bird capable of mimicking speech. THe answer is a walk-in-talkie, a type of short-wave handheld radio.

Q I don’t get it.

A I wouldn’t expect you to. It requires a very in-depth knowledge of human history and culture. Some other things that can be considered funny to a human include.

Non-human things trying to do human things, and this includes animals exhibiting human behavior. HUmans find it very funny when less intelligent creatures exhibit human behavior. THese can include strange un-animal noises and even an animal trying to do something that normally only humans do

This rule also applies to their own offspring. A small human attempting to do something above their capabilities, like speak or, even, attempt a skill is greatly amusing to humans.

Sometimes the jokes that humans use don’t even involve irony, but are designed the annoy the person they are targeted at. In this case the targeted human might expect the answer to be clever, but instead get something that is either obvious or really stupid. In this case what is funny is not the joke itself, but the reaction to the joke. Sometimes these are called anti jokes and are specifically designed to be funny by way of not being very funny.

Q Can you demonstrate that to us?

A Yes of course.

What is big, red and bad for your teeth.

Q I don’t know, what?

A A brick

Q Well….. yes I suppose.

A You see it's funny because not only is it obvious, but it also implies that someone threw a brick at someone else’s face.

Q Humans consider other people’s pain entertaining?

A OH yes, very much. This gives rise to two types of humor. Watching others get hurt and the dark humor.

Dark human involves saying something gruesome or wildly inappropriate. I am under the impression it is a way to test how socially close a group of people is. Because if you are with an unfamiliar group of people you don’t know how they will react to a potentially offensive or dark joke, and so may not use one. If a human deployed one, they may be gaging the reaction of those around them. I would say that, on average, humans have a lot of very dark thoughts, and the knowledge that other humans also have dark thoughts brings them more socially close. IF you can make a dark joke around a human that implies than you can say other inflammatory things without getting into trouble. As I was saying humans have a lot of dark and sometimes aggressive thoughts, and the ability to vent and share them is very important for mental health, but they need to make sure they find a proper group to confide in.

An example would be: what is the difference between a truckload of bowling balls and a truck load of dead babies….. you cannot unload the bowling balls with a pitchfork

Q: That…… is…. disturbing.

A: It’s a little bit funny

On the other hand, watching other people get hurt is a complicated type of humor.

It may be funny because the other person was doing something stupid, or against the rules, and it is entertaining to see them get what was coming to them. Humans like justice.

Sometimes it is designed as a way for humans to empathize with another being. Seeing someone get hurt wincing and then laughing about it is a way of saying I feel your pain, but I’m glad it’s not me.

Of course there is the humor that involves laughing at someone you genuinely hate who got hurt. IN this case you have always desired to hit that person, but it is not socially acceptable, but watching them get hurt by something else causes a sort of….. release of tension and anger.

Sometimes humans watch just to make themselves feel better that they aren’t in that situation or their life isn’t that bad.

In large groups, this is a way for humans to practice empathy and also socially bond with those round them

Q You said earlier that it was an important tool in defusing situations…. how does that work.

A Well that its a very good question and it comes with, what I think is the most interesting aspect of human humor.

IF you’re with your friends, and one of them runs face first into a pole, you may think it is funny, but it’s only funny if the person isn’t hurt, or a couple days after the incident when the person is fine. In both cases it is a way to demonstrate relief or test to see if the other person is ok. It can even be used to let others know that you're ok.

Human history is filled with some of the greatest and most horrible tragedies imaginable, and for every one of them you will be able to find jokes. Studies have shown that the use of humor is a proper and helpful outlet to the emotions that come with tragedy. You may hear a human say that there were only two options in a situation “It was either laugh or cry.” Both include the release of emotion which can be cathartic.

Assume there is a tense meeting between group of humans Violence is about to break out, but someone makes a joke. The atmosphere is diffused and social bonding occurs allowing the humans to be less hostile towards each other, and probably get something done.

In cases of humans who have experienced past trauma, I find that the healthiest, mentally healthiest, humans have a habit of making fun of the trauma. In many cases it helps them to cope with what happened and serves as a sign to let others know that they are doing ok.

Q And there are other types of humor as well?

A If I were to talk about all of them, we would be here all day. I think the important takeaway from this is that humans use humor primarily for reasons of social bonding. If a human thinks you are funny they are more likely to like you and more likely to be your friend. Even in human relationships, the funnier you are the more likely you are to find a mate, so to anyone planning to spend time with humans, I would recommend putting a great amount of focus and study into their humorous.

Blind Dating

Here’s some fucking fluff cause y’all so angsty in this fandom. Goddamn, I love y’all but y’all need some fluff, so here you go:

Blind Dating.

How pathetic. Steve never thought he’d ever do such a desperate thing but it wasn’t up to him. Carol set it up and Steve had been practically guilted by his co-worker to participate.

Who sets other people up with their ex anyway!?

Steve didn’t even know the guys full name. He knew it was a Tommy but the last name was H ...something.

Steve groaned into his hands. He was hiding in his car outside the bar he was meant to meet his ‘date’. Trust Carol to pick such a cliche setting. Well, Steve didn’t expect to be staying long; he’d evaluate his date and see if it was even worth his time.

He wasn’t looking for a relationship. Not after breaking up with his last partner of 3 years. After Nancy, Steve doubted he’d ever find someone that got him like she did. Clearly, Steve didn’t get her as well as he’d thought, cause then she won’t have left him for that Byers guy but that was in the past.

Steve slapped himself in the mirror. He needed to stop depressing himself. Maybe Carol was right. He did need to restart his dating life or at least his sex life. He couldn’t rewatch old shows in pajamas while eating ice-cream to replace an actual relationship forever. Pre-Nancy!Steve used to party. Pre-Nancy used to fuck. Like a lot.

He tried to at least fake the confident strut he used to walk with. It worked a bit, he knew everyone in the bar was looking at him but he wasn’t looking at any of them.

To be specific, he was looking for something.

Apparently, Tommy had a pair of shades on due to how ridiculous wearing shades in a bar would look.

Steve spotted the only man in shades in the bar and felt his jaw drop.

Tommy was hot. Like drop down sexy. Steve’s talking ‘broad shoulders, sharp jaw and beautiful blond curls’ hot. He wore a leather jacket, a half buttoned up shirt and ripped jeans making him look like a cliche bad-boy...which was sadly, Steve’s fucking type.

He was flirting with a bunch of other people at the same time but Steve didn’t care. He was getting fucked by that man, come rain, come sunshine.

He went straight up to the blond and tapped him on the shoulder to gain his attention, “You’re my date right? Tommy, right?”

The blond looked at him. Steve couldn’t see what expressions he was giving with the shades. Thankfully, the blond tilted the shades down, just a bit so his bright blue eyes could be seen behind them as the looked Steve up and down, “I’m whatever you want me to be, baby.”

Steve shivered at his deep voice. Fuck it was hot. The way the blue eyes scanned his body made him feel self-conscious. Maybe, High-waisted jeans and a jumper aren’t proper club wear but for fucksake Steve really didn’t expect to stay this long.

“Listen,” Steve pinched his nose, if he was getting laid, he won’t tiptoe over it, “you don’t know me and I don’t know you. I’m just gonna guess we both were forced to do this, or am I the only one?”

“I didn’t even know this would happen but I’m glad it did.”

So Steve was forced and Tommy was tricked...what a great way to start a relationship, “Ugh, fucking Carol,” Steve mumbled before deciding to roll with it, “I’ll be real with you, I’m not really in the mindset for a relationship.”

“Ok...”

“But we could always just fuck.”

Steve was never this forward but he was also never this horny either. It’s not likeTommy had any complaints about it, not with the wolffish grin that spread across his face. Steve soon found himself outside the bar, in some alley, shoved into a wall with a tongue exploring every part of his mouth.

The next day, Steve woke up alone in what was definitely not his bedroom. The only hints of what possibly went down last night was the ache in his bottom and the hickies on his skin.

He groggily looked around. His clothes where everywhere with a mix of other stuff that definitely weren’t his. He forced himself up and ignored how weak his feet fell. Whatever fucked him must’ve been damn good at it.

He managed to find his jeans and underwear . He was relieved to find his phone in the pockets. While he wore his boxers, he checked it. It was no surprise to see hundreds of missed calls and text from Carol.

Chucking he decided to relieve her weary heart and rang her back. She of course answered immediately, “Don’t worry the sex was great.” Steve bragged once the line was answered, “I don’t know why you broke up with him man. For a guy named Tommy, he’s hot as fuck. You’ll be single forever if you ever think you’ll do better than that .”

“Sex? What sex?” Carol sounded shocked as she spoke, “Steve, Tommy called me to cancel. Apparently something came up. But forget that, who were you wi-“

Steve ended the call before Carol could finish .

He couldn’t keep talking as his brain tried to process the information. Did Steve really go up to a random stranger, say they should fuck and actually get fucked by the guy. That was high on the embarrassment scale in Steve’s book and it showed with how red his face got.

“I’d say the jigs up, huh?”, Steve spun on his heel to see ‘Not-Tommy’ leaning casually on his door frame. He had his hands stuffed in his sweatpants and had not an article of clothing on, from the waist up.

Steve should be interrogating him, not drooling at his abs. He managed to snap out of it, “Yeah, it is.” he tried to sound as mad as possible but it was hard when the person your angry at is so hot.

“If it makes you feel better I made coffee. I don’t even like coffee.” He tried to joke but Steve kept his face cold, “not a fan either that’s cool princess, you must have a billion questio-“

“first off, why?” Steve interrupted him.

The man looked at him with a loopsided smirk before chuckling, “Um, why the fuck not? Have you seen yourself?” Steve blushed at the kinda compliment even though he really didn’t want too, “some hot brunette begs me for sex-“ “I didn’t beg!” “-was I supposed going to say no? Why? Cause I’m not named ‘Tommy’? I thought if Tommy was playing so ’hard to find’ might as well swoop in and take the prize.”

Steve groaned internally. He really must’ve looked desperate. He pinched his nose before looking back up, “ok Not-Tommy-” “It’s Billy.” “-what is?”

“My name is Billy, Billy Hargrove,” he explained slowly, “and remember it for next time, it was weird when that one time you screamed ‘Tommy’ when we were fucking but it’s cool cause most times you just called me ‘Daddy’.”

Steve face could not get redder, he buried his face into his hands before dragging them down with a long groan, “oh my goooddd…” Steve was in hell and this was his punishment, “someone kill me.”

“That’s no fun,” Billy chuckled as he came closer to Steve till they were face to face, “your ass is the best fucking thing I’ve ever had and I’ve tried ecstasy once.”

“Let me guess, you’re addicted?” Steve’s voice was sarcastic as he crossed his arms over his chest while staring Billy down.

All that did was entertain the blond, “might be,” Steve gasped when a hand gripped his ass, “it’s a really good ass.”

Steve slapped the hand away before groaning for like the 100th time today, “I slept with not only a stranger but the biggest asshole in the world.”

“Well I won’t say in the world I’m like top 10 at mo-“ Steve stopped the blond from continuing with a finger to the lips.

“Please shut up,” Steve begged, “you’re so good then you open your fucking mouth and I just want to fucking deck you.”

Billy nodded and Steve sighed in relief but his peace didn’t last long, “you’d never beat me in a fight.”

“Oh my god, I swear to…”

—————

“There is no way you met Billy that way!” Robin looked at her best friend with both disbelief and amazement.

Steve nodded as he sipped his drink, “it’s true. I have the text to prove i…” Steve stopped when he heard the door to his apartment open, “...there he is, the love of my life.”

Billy looked at Steve oddly, “I feel like I walked in when people were talking shit about me.”

“We were,” Robin hummed as she dropped her cup on the table, “you’re the biggest asshole in the world.”

“And you’re the biggest moocher,” Billy shot back, “who eats all our food, pays no rent but for some reason is constantly here.”

Robin flipped him off and Steve giggled at the scene. He got up from his place on the couch to kiss Billy on the cheek, “by the way, Tommy stopped by. I still can’t believe you went out of your way to befriend him.”

“He got me laid, I felt like I needed to get him laid cause Billy Hargrove owes nobody othing.”

“Billy Hargrove made Steve Harrington have the most awkward conversation of their life.”

“It was hilarious,” Robin chimed in from the couch, “he kept asking if he wanted something to eat...like in a row.”

It was Steve’s turn to flip Robin off but that only fueled Robin, “Also who wears shades in a bar?”

Billy was flipping her off too.

CAN YOU FEEL MY HEART?

OBIKIN x AU /PART 4/PART 3/PART 2/PART 1

I am so sorry for this, if anyone is still reading it.

In my defense this is the first time I am sticking to a fanfic for so long. I truly hope I finish it.

There is an OC in this one, which is probably going to reappear again. I am leaving them without a name on purpose, I think it adds to the purpose they serve.

tw / poor life choices, spiking/drugging without consent, sexual assault (I try not to go too deep into it but still there are parts which may affect people) /

Enjoy!

Halfway into his shift, he heard a familiar voice from somewhere near the bar. It was Ahsoka, she was together with some of her University friends and her high school friend – Bariss. Obi-wan smiled a little to himself. He swears that these two have been pining for each other for years and the only times where either of them tries to confess, usually Ahsoka, is when they are drunk and nothing happens. If this continues any longer he was going to set them up on a blind date with each other or some bantha crap like that.

“‘Sup, Obi?” the younger girl greeted him brightly with amusement in her eyes. The older man looked at her first delightedly, then gave her a look that read in the lines of I am working, what do you think is going on or that was what he was trying to get across. And it seemed it got delivered as the younger girl smiled apologetically.

“Anyways, we just came for a quick drink, because I have early classes and I have to be a responsible adult.” Ahsoka smiled amusingly her eyes travelling from Obi-wan to Bariss. The other girl returned the smile and spoke “Right, as you should always be. “

“Of course, what do you take me for?” the togruta looked exaggeratedly hurt and Bariss giggled at her friend. Obi-wan observed them sharply.

“So the usual for you and whatever else your friends want?” Obi-wan drew the attention of Ahsoka towards him as he didn’t want to spend too much time chit-chatting idly while his co-workers were being productive.

“Yeah, sure,” the younger girl replied and turned towards her friends to ask them for their preferred liquor. After everyone received whatever they wanted to drink, Obi-wan attracted the attention of Ahsoka to him and pulled her to the side of the bar. He gave her a long look, to which she answered with a questioning look of her own and mounted a what. The older man sighed and retorted to his friend that it’s about time she got her head in the right space and make the first step. Ahsoka just gave him a bewildered look. The man clasped his hands on the girl’s shoulder, look at her and uttered Bariss. He couldn’t see Ahsoka’s reaction as he turned the girl around, pushed her forward and went back to do his job. The girl stayed at the same spot, taken aback, for a few moments trying to get her mind back to reality. She contemplated whether she should turn around, go to the older man and argue whatever hints he was throwing were wrong. As soon as she thought of that her attention was drawn because of the said girl’s voice. Ahsoka looked over to where her friends were and she smiled to herself. What an idiot, I am the togruta thought to herself shaking her head, she headed to her friends. Well, it’s better late than never.

Obi-wan watched the younger girl out of the corner of his eye and grinned a little.

“Well, what was that all about?” Obi-wan heard Asajj retort while he was serving a customer. He smiled at the client and gave his order.

“Ahsoka needed a little bit of a nudge to do something so I gave it to her.” The man replied his co-worker as he was getting the order of the next client.

“Oh, is that so?” the older woman said amusingly. “How come your love life sucks so much but you give romantic advice to other people? “ Obi-wan tried not to bite back at the comment as he was in the middle of preparing the order.

“I don’t have the energy to get into that conversation with you, right now, Ventress,” the only response that was returned to Obi-wan was a long hum and then the older woman left him. For which he was grateful because he had not been able to settle his feelings and thoughts on everything that happened with Satine yet. Also, that night that was truly unclear and the only one that knew for now is Rex. He couldn’t allow his emotions to confuse his head now as things for the band were looking brighter.

He couldn’t let himself to ruin everything they have worked for and achieved. He knew that there are better ways to deal with this but right now he didn’t have time, it could wait. Everything will be fi-

“Hello, beautiful,” Obi-wan’s mind froze for a moment before he looked up from where he was scrubbing the wet glassware. He couldn’t believe it. Live was playing a sick joke on him for every distress he made his old man feels when he was a teenager. That must be it. There wasn’t any other explanation for the mockery of mockeries that was happening at this kriffing moment. That bastard was here. “I can’t believe that we are meeting again. Here of all places.” You don’t have to say that to me Obi-wan wanted to bitterly laugh at the twi’lek man in front of him. But he couldn’t muster any kind of response.

The singer was on his 7th or 8th glass of whatever liquor he had decided to order this time; he was mixing them and Rex couldn’t bother to remember them after the 4th one. The blonde man was giving worries glances to the older man but he was long gone to care. The man seemed like he had not drunk anything for months given the way how fast he was going through each glass. Rex guessed that the older man was trying to forget his problems with Satine. Their relationship has been steadily going downhill for some time now. Rex thought that even the two of them couldn’t pin-point exact point when it all started, probably started with small things and it grew. Obi-wan always tried to shrug it off as something every couple goes through but it seemed like it was getting to him.

Obi-wan turned to his friend smiling, trying to lean forward to his ear but he was having a hard time balancing and just draped himself over Rex’s right side. The older man giggled under his breath.

“Where is ‘Soka?” his voice raspy from the hour set they played and an hour screaming in the crowd after the set.

“She ordered a lift home and left about 15 minutes ago.” The ginger man pulled his face in a pout. Rex thought is about a time to get this man home. “She did even say bye.”

“You were rather occupied” the younger man made an effort to put bitterness in his voice as he replied. The older man had not been selfish with people who had tried to hit on him, flirting with them back, dancing on a very thin line that he shouldn’t even try to be near at. Rex wasn’t as close to Satine as he is to the older man, she is constantly travelling with her work so they haven’t been able to become. The blonde man has concluded that he wouldn’t feel remorseful towards the woman if Obi-wan and she decided to break things off. He would feel sorry for his friend as Satine seemed good for him but maybe things weren’t as perfect as they were at first. However Rex had also said to himself that if his friend goes and do something stupid, he was going to drag his ass to Satine and make him beg for forgiveness, they were still together.

Rex looked over to where his friend was but he was nowhere to be found. Crap the man thought. He franticly looked over the bar, over to the sofas spread in the cantina and the dance floor. He finally saw him – the older man was dancing and grinding his body over a male twi’lek, his skin yellow painted over with black tattoos, his left ear covered with piercings, his right nostril also embellished with a single ring piercing. Obi-wan’s back was facing the front of the twi’lek whose hands were on the human’s hips, holding him closer and grinding in synchronization with the man in front of him. Rex had made a few big strides towards the other men and grabbed his friend’s arm. The ginger looked at him surprised and shouted what.

“I think it’s time to get you home!”

“Oh, c’mon, Rex, don’t be a party pooper.” The twi’lek was grinning behind his friend and Rex was throwing laser blasters with his eyes. “Let’s get you another drink and find you a pretty lady to entertain you.”

“I am trying to help you so you won’t regret anything in the morning.” Obi-wan looked at him seriously for a moment then grinned back and shouted over the music. “I am just having a little bit of fun, buddy. Don’t worry.” His friend tried to move forward stumbling on his own feet. Before Rex could react the twi’lek behind them stretched his arm across Obi-wan’s abdomen and caught him, before he could face plant on the floor. Then the stranger looked over to Rex and sneered showing his sharp teeth.

After getting to the bar without anymore stumbling, Obi-wan ordered the three of them more drinks along with Rex protesting and his friend promising him that this is the last one, Rex sighed and excused himself to the refreshers.

When the blonde man was out of their sight the twi’lek started kissing and nibbling at the back of Obi-wan’s neck. Obi-wan moved his head to the side to give better accesses, allowing sounds of pleasure to escape his lips.

“As much as I enjoy this I really can’t go further. I am already committed to somebody. I have already-“ the twi’lek turned the human towards him and slammed his lips on Obi-wan’s, interrupting his explanation midsentence. Grabbing the back of the ginger’s head he bit his lips, slipping his tongue into the human’s hot mouth. Opening his eyes he looked over the bar and his surroundings, then grabbed a small bottle of his back pocket on his pants, the twi’lek dumped the substance of it in one of the drinks that had just been put down next to them. Without stopping giving attention to the human’s lips in front of him, he mixed the spice sloppily inside the drink. He slowly withdrew his lips from the singer, licking the small trail of blood on the other’s lips. As the human seemed slightly out of breath, trying to take his composure back, the twi’lek took advantage and started trailing kissed down his jaw and neck, licking and softly biting him. Out of the corner of his eye, the twi’lek could see Rex, coming back and withdrew back from Obi-wan, giving him the drink with spice in it.

“Drink this, beautiful.” The twi’lek said, voice low and full of suggestion, in the human’s ear, loud enough for just him to hear while caressing the left thigh of the ginger, going dangerously high. Then a hand stopped him. He looked up the man in front of him, his gaze was cold and he was shaking his head. The twi’lek just looked amused at Obi-wan and drank from his drink. The human then turned to his friend, smiling and talking.

About thirty minutes later Obi-wan excused himself to the refreshers, swaying a little bit from side to side. That left the other two men in an awkward setting; the absence of their conversation was filled with the noise of the music and the voices of other people. After a few moments, the twi’lek announced that he also had to use the refreshers, Rex only giving him a nod. The twi’lek made his way to a quiet place where he could order a hovercab. After that, he started walking towards the refreshers. Once inside he scanned the place for his human companion and found him over a sink, splashing his face. With a slow and confident stride, he started advancing towards the ginger man.

“Hey there, gorgeous,” Obi-wan looked up at the twi’lek, his face had started to sweat and his breath had become uneven.

“I think I-I don’t fe-el that well.”

“Yeah, you don’t look good either. Actually, your friend is ordering us a lift home; he said he is going to wait outside, so I think it’s for the best if we leave, yeah.”The twi’lek leaned to the human, grabbing him across his back so he could lean on him for support. Obi-wan just nodded and made approving noises and the twi’lek smiled at him.”

After exiting the refreshers he looked around for the other human, trying to get around unnoticed while heading for outside. When the twi’lek managed to get them both out of the cantina without being seen, he nudged the other man towards the hovercab persuading the ginger man that his friend was already inside the cab. After getting them into the vehicle and giving the address to the driver the twi’lek shifted his focus to Obi-wan, trying to find his communication device on him. Having found it he searched for Obi-wan’s friend contact and sends him a message that he is going to get Obi-wan safely to his home and he didn’t have to worry. And before the spice took full control of Obi-wan, the twi’lek asked the man for his address so he could get him home after he finishes with him. The drugged-up man mumbled barely allowing for the other men to understand him but still catching the full address.

After finishing everything as planned he relaxed next to the other man, caressing his right thigh as higher as he wanted to before, cupping his cock through the pants, feeling the hardness that was growing and smiling to himself as he thought that the spice was surely working. He started kissing the other man’s neck while continuously paying attention to the hardened member which earned him low whimpers that made the twi'lek's cock to twitch in anticipation. He imagined how hot and tight the human must feel; how deep he was going to be in his little human. I am going to fuck this little kitten so nice and fast, he is going to feel it for a week the twi’lek thought to himself as he captured the ginger’s lips with a rough kiss, biting his lips and shoving his tongue inside the other’s mouth.

“Fuck, baby I have been watching you – watching me all night. You have been teasing me with your little hips and twinkly eyes. And that voice of yours – shit, you are going to scream only for me tonight, baby. I am going to make you scream so good for me.” The twi’lek whispered in the human’s ear and snuck his hand inside the other’s trousers, grabbing his cock at the base and tugging it, which made Obi-wan to jerk his hips forward and let a sweet low moan.

“Yeah, baby just like that. Sing for me, beautiful. “

“It must be fate or the Force bantha crap all that Jedi talk about. What do you say; we go for a second round after you finish here? “The sultry voice of the man in front of Obi-wan was making him feel sick to his stomach, making the hairs at the back of his head raise.”Well, a fourth time. You- hey, where are you going?”Obi-wan had turned to Asajj excusing himself to the backroom explaining he wasn’t feeling well and trying to discreetly but quickly to get out of the situation. He could still hear the voice of that man but didn’t want to register what he was saying. Obi-wan moved swiftly between the tables and the clients, trying not to get noticed. He could hear the man getting louder but it wasn’t directed at him. The bodyguards were trying to extract him from the premise. Obi-wan guessed that Asajj figured out what was happening. Making a note for himself to endlessly thank the woman and even buy her a dinner or something, he entered the staff room, headed straight to the back of it where the sinks were and threw up in one of them, then turned the faucet on, waiting for the water to wash his stomach’s residues. Straight after that, he splashed cold water over his face, drinking a little of the transparent liquid to wash up his mouth. After that, he went to his locker to grab a towel he kept for showering after work. He sat on the floor with the towel pressed to his face, breathing deeply trying to calm himself. He stood there for a few more minutes until he decided that he felt stable enough to go back. He headed for the door when it suddenly opened.

“What was that about?” Ventress was watching him concernedly and sounded worried too” Spit it out fast before Cody goes to the bar and asks, not so nicely, why is there just one person” she continued with urgency in her voice now. Obi-wan contemplated a bit before answering.

“It was an ex. A really old one”

“An ex? ”The woman retorted, her facial features full of distrust.”Are you saying that just so I get off your business?”

Yes the man thought “Maybe” he tried to shrug it off but he didn’t know how successful he was. Asajj gazed at him for a bit before reassuring him that if there is anything that is troubling him she is here for him. He nodded and thanked her before exiting the room and returning to the bar.

The next morning Obi-wan woke up with a migraine, wanting to erase everything from last night and not wanting to get up from the bed. However, today is the day the band has the meeting for the studio. He felt a bit of a positive rush coming into his body and mind but still felt ill in his stomach. Obi-wan got up with a huff and started to get ready for the day. He wanted to keep himself as busy as possible so he won’t have to remember and face the memories that are strongly trying to arise. He thought that maybe blasting music will keep his head occupied but he ultimately decided against it as he had good relations with his neighbours and didn’t want to change that, so he settled for a medium volume.

30 minutes into Obi-wan trying to get ready, his communication device started going off. It was Asajj. Unusual the ginger thought as he picked up the call.

“To what do I owe the pleasure?” the man started lightheartedly.

“Just checking on you, to hear how you are doing.” replied the older woman. “Shut up, Quinn, I am not giving you the phone.” Obi-wan could hear the hushed voice of Asajj on the other end of the line, probably trying to restrain her boyfriend. Obi-wan tried to suppress a laugh but he was also reminded about last night, which until now he was having a marvellous time ignoring it.

“I am good, very uncharacteristic of you, Asajj, to call me for something so minor.” The ginger was keeping his voice stable and tried to sound casual.

“You didn’t look like it was okay. I didn’t want to raise the question yesterday as we were at work but…” Asajj seemed to mull something over in her head as she stopped.”Really if there is anything don’t hesitate to tell me, okay. “There were a few beats of silence before Asajj cleared her throat and continued “Well, Quinlan is very insistently saying “hi” but as you are probably busy with your band and stuff I am going to end this call and see you soon.” Obi-wan heard the change from genuinely pleasant voice to trying to keep the façade of being polite in Asajj, probably caused by her boyfriend.”No, Quinlan, just-“the line on the other end cut before Obi-wan could say anything else. He stared at the device for a few seconds before snickering and leaving it on the table so he could return to getting ready.

I FEEL LIKE i just ran away from home and then realized i’m five and, unfortunately, cannot survive without my parents. LMDFLKDFGM i missed u all and had to return… we hate to see it. anyway! whew. i figured i’d post a refreshed lil intro for cohen to make sure i hit on some key changes before i hop back into the game! the most important / group-related part is right at the top, so if u read nothing else, read that! ily all and i’m excited to jump back in like i never left. i’ll be sliding in dms and makin’ starters asap, so if u wanna make some connection changes my door’s always open! x

✮ ∷ ╰ 𝖈𝖔𝖍𝖊𝖓 𝖘𝖊𝖌𝖚𝖗𝖆 : 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 .

cohen currently lives in a glorified, raggedy frat-esque house ( he is NOT a fratboy but he might as well be huh ) of his own right off campus, about a five minute drive / ten minute walk from the stadium ( it’s about four bedrooms large with three bathrooms, all on one floor. think david dobrik’s house–click here to see–except much uglier and CHEAP MVDFLG ).

he’s fiscally very protective of his savings. he’s been working since he was 12 with his dad, and never ever spent his money, despite some repetitive near-misses where his parents tried ( and failed, bc cohen’s slick ) to steal money from him. basically he now pays for his share of the house using the money he saves/has always saved working for factories, farms, & fixing people’s junk cars.

his only current roommate is foster, meaning he has two spare rooms he’s not really doing anything with. beer pong table’s outside, the kitchen is the alcohol hot spot, there’s a pool table instead of a dining room table, u know how it goes.

regardless, he throws open invite house parties literally every weekend. they take place every friday night up until the sun rises on sunday morning–whether he’s around the house for all of five seconds or all night doesn’t matter, because they’re always a-go.

you’re all 100% free to use his house entirely at your leisure for character fun / development / a place for ur thread to take place / etc! you don’t even need to get my okay beforehand! just do it! think of it as a known dillon fact that cohen’s having a house party every weekend NFKDFNDFKJG.

no matter who you are, whether cohen likes you or not, he will not care if you show up with some randos or familiar faces and party it out. he’s socially bored 24/7 and full of apathy and alcohol at all times so mans probably will be plastered drunk out doing donuts in the parking lot and fighting someone he doesn’t have beef with anyway. ur muse probably won’t even see him there. LMKGDFLG if you’ve ever seen burlesque? literally him showing up to his OWN house for a visit / to get plastered and then wander off during the weekend party is…. real. so yeah! use his house like it’s ur own. just be out by sunday afternoon bc he likes to pretend none of it ever happened as soon as he wakes up and has to be sober for school. x KMVFBLFG love u all.

tw: eating disorder mentions ( food & lifestyle ), drug addiction / recovery, alcoholism, & mentions of past steroid use.

full name. cohen anthony segura.

aka. co, jet.

character inspiration. adam parrish ( the raven cycle ), vince howard & tim riggins lovechild ( if y’all watched fnl…. let’s cry together ), a much more problematic & asshole-ish david dobrik ( the vlog squad ), nathan scott ( oth ), steven hyde ( that ‘70s show ), emily prentiss & aaron hotchner lovechild ( criminal minds ), & noel miller ( tmg ).

age & d.o.b. twenty-two. birthdate tbd.

zodiac. virgo sun, aries moon, & aquarius rising.

pronouns. he / him.

orientation. openly bisexual.

this has never presented as too large of an issue for cohen, despite living in dillon. he isn’t afraid of being talked about, and has a history of making sure people know he can hold his own if anyone has anything to say about his personal life.

university major. architecture & architectural technology.

after living in a trailer for the duration of his life, the idea that he would be invested in architecture is astounding. however, here he is. his passion for home creation stemmed from growing up and envisioning a real home to live in. his parents are both into self-taught carpentry, and his dad was shoving tools and measuring tape into his hands from the time he was young in an effort to instill in him a firm “get it done yourself” mindset. he spends his time studying structure & building planning, and secretly has a journal full of dream house mark-ups.

occupation. wide receiver for the dillon panthers, full time student, & prospective architect / carpenter post-college.

tattoos. many riddled throughout his body. brandon arreaga’s tattoos are cohen’s.

face claim. brandon arreaga.

alignment. neutral evil.

hogwarts. slytherin.

positive & negative traits. ( if u’ve already read this do not read it again i promise u nothing here changed LSMFLD )

hardworking–he works himself to the bone and is entirely unapologetic about it. you’ll rarely catch him slipping, but if he does, he’s the first to get ear-splittingly angry with himself over it. he’s way too hard on himself & he knows it, but he’ll never admit it.

he nitpicks at the flaws of others in an effort to feel superior, and always acts unaffected when he’s called out for bringing the team down when he’s not taking care of himself ( cue vince howard from fnl or nathan scott from oth scenes where they’re bragging about how good they are on the field even though he’s apt to get himself hurt because of how desperate he is for some kind of validation–cohen had a huge issue with restricting and abusing stimulants / testing steroids throughout high school and college in an attempt to boost his football persona. he was always incredibly fast and beat literal ODDS to maintain his wide receiver position, but especially thanks to his small build he’s used to being underestimated / downplayed, which puts a really heavy weight on his shoulders. today, he’s eating healthily, he’s off drugs, and he’s taking care of himself better than he ever has before, but it’s still incredibly hard and he still reaches out for ways to overcompensate, which is where alcohol usually comes into play ).

transparent–sure, he can turn into a stressed out & irritable jerk within a fraction of a second, but at least he’s upfront about when he switches lanes. LDFGLMKFG

he’s incredibly focused, which means he’s never going to linger in uncertainty for too long before he admits that he’s just not down to be around you / to be there / to talk / etc. he’s no bullshitter by any means. he’d rather hurt your feelings and keep his environment stable and tactile than stick around and put his easily shaken emotions at risk just to make you comfy.

he’s also accountable. he knows when he’s causing shit to fuck up & hit the fan, and he’s always quick to right wrongs when things are on him. ofc he’s bred from a family full of blame-givers, so he unhealthily picked up a bad habit of being really good at sounding like he’s apologizing sincerely when he’s really just trying to end a fight because he’s annoyed. LDCLDKMFDFG.

he’s blunt, temperamental, & incredibly selfish when it comes to his own lifelines / vices, but wholeheartedly selfless when it comes to doing anything to protect or lift up the people he loves.

mental diagnoses. anorexia nervosa ( in recovery ), alcoholism ( ongoing ), an addiction to various stimulants ( in recovery ), & frequent past attempts at steroid use.

physical diagnoses. n / a.

phobias. has an irrational fear of accidentally burning down his house. will get immensely stressed–to the point where he’s absolutely annoying and intolerable to put up with / be around–if someone’s cooking or baking “irresponsibly.” will probably yell at you and hover-cook until you let him take over so he can make sure nothing goes wrong. LMSDFKLFG

scars. an appendix scar on his lower left side.

drug use. frequently.

alcohol use. frequently.

diet. very decently rounded. he loves to cook, despite being self-taught. growing up the way he did, he settles for making simple dishes very well. he’s not the type to go all out for dinner. he meal preps like it’s his job. he usually just settles with some kind of pan-friend chicken and pasta dish at home.

birth place. dillon, texas.

parents. "jude" judith & anthony segura.

two lower class parents with deep-rooted anger issues. they currently live in the same trailer park together, in separate trailers, and fight with each other constantly. they claim they’re divorced, and are seeing other people, but they’ve never actually filed for anything, since anthony segura thinks it’s just a ploy for judith to take “half [his] shit.” cohen visits them often, and acts as a middle ground child who hates but loves both of them equally. his dad enjoys / tolerates his son’s presence more than his mother does, but only marginally. his mother’s much less concerned with the fact that she has children, since, in her mind, her relationship issues are the most important things in her life. cohen spent many nights as a kid with his drugged up mom in his lap while she cried about not being loved by anyone. his dad, even though he’s rough with cohen, at least spends time with him every now and again. as a kid, his dad was handing him beers to drink and tools to learn to use to prove he was a man ( despite being a ten y/o child bfkjgk oh well! ). regardless, today cohen lives on his own but is still the financial backbone for his parents–since his mom is unemployed and his dad is a seasonal construction worker–and has been since he was fifteen. they ask him for money every chance they get, and cohen never says no.

siblings. a younger sister ( by two years ). loves her to death. would protect her with his life.

pets. he’s notorious for letting a certain set of strays run amuck in his house. he feeds the neighborhood cat, is a-okay with people bringing their animals to his parties, etc. but he’s too scared of permanence and obsessed with independence to ever follow through with getting his own animal.

education. current senior at dillon university.

he has always been a decent student. he got into architectural honors college his sophomore year of college. however, he’s still not by any means incredibly intelligent. he’s decent grade-wise, but only because he tries really hard and puts in the effort it takes to keep up in a field like architecture. he’s also a chronic cheater, but c’est la vie! lmfgdflkg he spends the vast majority of his time either studying or practicing, and gets very irritable very quick doing either activity because he doesn’t know how to manage stress, so he drinks in the evenings in an attempt to make up for his tense demeanor, but he’s an angry drunk so… whomst are we really kidding here. LMDFKLG

languages. english & american sign language.

#friday:intro #WHEWWWW home at last. all i did last night was wait & make gifs huh. MCVLKDFSG
