Say Yes to the Dress: Avengers Edition
A/N: This is what happens when I binge say yes to the dress after writing for the Avengers... Apologies if this sucks. Also not super carefully edited so apologies for any mistakes. This is basically fluff. I hope you enjoy! 
Summary: The title pretty much says it all 
Characters/Pairings; Bucky x reader, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Natasha Romanoff, Sam Wilson, Wanda Maximoff, Randy, Lisa 
Warnings: Fluffy fluff? 
Rating: K+ 
Word count: 1882 (Honestly not sure how that happened lol) 
You couldn’t believe that you were finally here. At Kleinfeld’s. Shopping for your wedding dress so you could marry the love of your life.
From his spot between Steve and Tony, Sam was piloting Red Wing filming you all as you all walked down the sidewalk towards the shop.
“Say hi to the camera, beautiful.”
“Hi! We’re here at Kleinfeld’s to get my wedding dress!”
You grinned and blew the drone a kiss as you practically skipped inside the store arm in arm with Natasha and Wanda. The three girls immediately started looking through at dresses while the guys looked somewhat overwhelmed – especially Steve.
“This one’s beautiful,” Nat commented pulling out an almost completely sheer dress.
Your eyes bugged out of your head.
“It’s a bit revealing.” You looked at the price tag, “And about 4000 dollars over budget.”
“Who’s the beautiful bride here?”
“I am. Y/n,” you introduced yourself as you shook her hand.
“Hi, Y/n. I’m Lisa.”
“Hi, beautiful, I’m Randy.”
“I’m so excited to meet you.”
“It is an honor to meet you. Congratulations on your engagement.”
“Thank you.”
“So who do you have with you today?” Lisa asked.
“I have my co-maids of honor, Natasha and Wanda. And my friends Steve, Sam, and Tony.”
“Great. Nice to meet you all. Tell us about your fiancé.”
You couldn’t help the broad smile that crossed your face.
“His names is James Bucky Barnes. And he is absolutely perfect for me. We met at work about three years ago and we instantly clicked. It took about a year for either of us to make a move though,” you ignored the snickers from your teammates. “But after our first date I just knew. He makes me feel safe and calm when I get into my own head. He’s just perfect,” you repeated.
Randy and Lisa were smiling at your description.
“And when’s the wedding?”
“October of next year.”
She seemed relieved you’d have enough time to order whatever dress you wanted.
“Great. And what do you see yourself in?”
“I’m thinking something kind of simple maybe an a-line off the shoulder or with sleeves. I like lace. I like beading. I hate feathers. But honestly I want to make the most of this appointment and I trust you so I will try on anything that you think would suit me.”
“Alright,” she said with a wide smile. “And how would you describe y/n?”
“Bubbly.”
“Sunshine in a person.”
“She’s the heart of the team.”
“You guys,” you were trying not to tear up.
“And what do you all see her in?” Randy asked.  
“I think she should be in something form-fitting to show off her figure,” Nat spoke up and Sam nodded his agreement.
“Maybe a mermaid style or a fit and flare,” Wanda suggested.
“She’s going to look beautiful in everything she tries on, so whatever makes her happy,” Steve smiled bashfully.
“Aww, Stevie.”
“Well I for one think she should be in something grand,” Tony smirked.
“Well grand is going to cost you, so what budget do we have to be respectful of?” Randy chuckled.
“Around $3500.”
“Actually,” Tony interrupted. “She doesn’t have a budget.”
“What?”
He reached out and took your hand in both of his.
“Y/n, you know you’re like a daughter to me. I want you to have everything you could ever want. So try on anything and everything, my dear. Spare no expense.”
“Thank you, Tony.”
You kissed his cheek.
“Well in that case, I will take you to the fitting room.” Lisa gestured to follow her and you squeezed Tony’s hands once more.
“And I will take you to the couch,’ Randy extended his arm towards the showroom floor.
“So who do you think will be the hardest to please?”
“Probably Tony or Nat. They both tend to think that they know everything.”
“And whose opinion matters most to you?”
“Steve’s. For sure.”
“Alright. Well, I’m going to leave you to change and I’m going to do some shopping.”
“Sounds great.”
After I changed into the silky robe I sat texting Bucky.
Bucky: Having fun, doll?
Y/n: Getting nervous. I can’t believe this is real.
Bucky: Which part?
Y/n: All of it.
Y/n: I love you.
Bucky: I love you so much, beautiful.
“Knock knock.”
“Come on in.”
“We’re back.”
“And we have dresses.”
“So what do you think of these?”
“They’re all beautiful. I think I want to start with this one.”
“Great. I will leave you to it.”  
“So what do you think?”
“It’s absolutely gorgeous.”
“You look stunning. Should we go show them?”
“Definitely.”
You carefully lifted the dress so you could make your way out to the floor.
“Here she comes,” Sam reported nudging Steve.
“Wow.”
As I stepped up on the pedestal I couldn’t hide my smile. It was exactly what I had asked for.
“So how do we feel?” Randy
“It’s exactly what I asked for. I really, really like it.”
“Okay, we’ll take it for dress number one. Should we spin you around?”
You nodded and lifted the dress once again so you could turn.
“You look beautiful,” Steve was beaming.
“I really like this one,” Wanda encouraged.
Nat, Sam, and Tony were less impressed.
“it’s lovely, but it doesn’t wow me,” Tony made an explosion motion with his hands.  
“What do you think?” Nat asked.
“I really like it. It’s definitely the one to beat.”
“I think we can beat it,” Sam nodded. “Because when you find your dress you’re going to have the smile.”
“So what’s ‘the smile’?” Randy asked.
“Well when y/n is happy about something, she lights up. And she has the biggest smile you’ll ever see.”
“Well let’s see if we can’t find a dress that brings it out.”
You tried on several similar dresses, but not lived up to the first so you didn’t even go out in them. Finally, one struck your fancy, but it received much the same reaction as before.
“I think we might need to go in a different direction to please them,” Lisa suggested.  “Are you open to trying something more form fitting?”
“Yeah, for sure.”
“Alright, let me do a little bit more shopping.”
Before she could leave there was a knock on the door.
“Come on in.”
“So, Tony has requested that you try on the most expensive dress in the salon.”
“Of course he did,” you chuckled.
When you looked at it you burst out laughing.
“Laughing isn’t typically a good sign.”
“It’s beautiful don’t get me wrong. But it’s not at all my style. Did he actually look at this dress?”
“No. He literally just asked me to bring you the most expensive one.”
“Well then let’s give them a show.”
Lisa clipped you into the dress and you just immediately shook you head.
“Not you?”
“Not even a little bit.”
“Do you want to show them?”
You nodded, “Just to prove a point.”
When they looked over their shoulders at you, you made a face at Tony.
“So how do we feel?”
“I cannot imagine marrying Bucky in this.”
“Well that’s quite an answer. Should we see what the entourage has to say?”
“You’re beautiful, but you look so uncomfortable,” Steve said apologetically.
The others hummed their agreement.
“Satisfied, Tony?”
“Yes, thank you for trying it on. Now please go find her something she’ll actually like,” he asked Lisa and Randy.
“We will do our best,” Randy promised.  
Lisa helped you out of the dress and then left to shop with Randy. You were getting a little concerned you weren’t going to find your dress.
When Lisa and Randy returned you immediately zeroed in on the one. It was a strapless ball gown with a ruffle tiered skirt and beading. It was nothing you would have expected to like, but you couldn’t tear your eyes away.  
“Do any of these strike your fancy?”
“That one. I want to try on that one.”
Randy was a little taken aback but happy at your reaction.
“That is the kind of reaction we like to see,” Randy grinned. “I will see you out there.”
You could not wipe the stupid grin off your face as Lisa zipped you into the dress.
“I think I know how you feel about this one,” she laughed.
“I love it. It’s not at all what I pictured myself in, but it’s perfect.”
“Should we go see what the group says?”
“Yes please.”
Your cheeks were hurting from smiling as you practically danced onto the showroom floor.
“Oh yeah. There she is,” Sam was smirking knowingly.
As you climbed onto the pedestal this time, all you could think about was walking down the aisle towards Bucky in this dress.
“So is this the smile you were talking about?” Randy laughed as you looked at your reflection.
“That’s the one,” Sam nodded, leaning around to see you in the mirror.
“So I think I know what you’re going to say, but what do you think, y/n?”
“I love it. I can see myself marrying Bucky in this dress.”
“Do you want to show the group?”
You nodded and twirled around.
“So what do you all think?”
“You’re gorgeous, sweetheart.” Nat’s ever critical gaze showed nothing but satisfaction.
“This is 100 percent your dress.” Wanda stated emphatically. “It’s fun and flirty but still elegant.”
Sam had his arms crossed over his chest with a smug grin.
“Sam?”
“I told you. When you found the dress, you’d have that smile. I’m sold.”
“Tony?”
He looked at you over his glasses for a moment before smiling softly.  
“You are breathtaking. Barnes is a lucky man.”
You noticed there were tears in his eyes and you started sniffling as well. And then you turned to Steve who surprisingly hadn’t said anything at all.
“Stevie?”
“You look beautiful in everything.” You started to roll your eyes in annoyance when he continued. “But you look absolutely radiant in that dress.”
“Do you think Bucky will like it?”
“He’s going to love it.”
“Would you like to see it with a veil?” Lisa offered and you nodded eagerly.
She fixed your hair while Randy grabbed a matching veil. As soon as they put it in your hair, everyone on the couch was tearing up. And when you turned around you couldn’t help but tear up yourself. Randy immediately handed you a tissue.
“How do you feel?”
“I feel like a bride. And I can’t wait to marry Bucky in this dress.”
“Well in that case. Y/n, are you saying yes to the dress?” They asked you in unison.
“Yes!”
Your team. Your family were immediately on their feet cheering and hugging you.  
The Wedding Day:
You stood with your arm wrapped around Bucky’s waist and his around your shoulders as you talked to the camera crew from the show after the ceremony.
“So what did you think of her dress when you first saw it?” the producer prompted.
“I was floored when I first saw her. She looked like an absolute angel. I started crying as soon as I saw her.”
He leaned down and kissed you.
“I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you, Mrs. Barnes.”
“Me neither, Sergeant Barnes. I love you.”
“I love you.”
A/N: So there it is. Fluffy randomness to round out the weekend. HOpe you enjoyed! Thanks for reading!

The week in review:
Raw 11/16 NXT 11/18 NXT UK 11/19 Smackdown 11/20 Survivor Series 11/22
Tumblr media
Raw:
Tumblr media
Appreciate Lana providing logic to the creation of this match.
“Is this a Disney movie” lmao.
Honestly Shayna works better as a henchman than as a final boss.
Love Lana’s theme btw.
rip Mandy.
Ugly kick by Asuka. Not a compliment.
hahaha Lana tagged herself into the match while Shayna had Asuka in the clutch. hahahahah.
“You suck, get out” rofl.
Asuka you’re trash for not saving Lana. Truly.
“I’m actually really proud of you, you showed a lot of courage tonight.” Nia is funny. A bitch and a bully, sure, but funny.
There’s number 9. rip.
Tumblr media
First of all, Dana’s shaky interview was going really well, and I wish they had let her finish it cuz god knows she needs the practice.
Second, WHY IS MIA YIM ATTACKING DANA OF ALL PEOPLE?
Tumblr media
I’m not sorry, I shamelessly love Bray and Alexa together, goodbye.
“Your word is... jackass” lmaooo why is he even doing a spelling bee to prep for this match.
rip Rambling Rabbit for the 38th time.
What makes him being killed so damn demented is not only the way he exhibits agony and suffering as he dies, but the way they STAND BY LAUGHING UNCONTROLLABLY. This is the definition of sociopathy.
“Bullseye!” “More like... Rabbit’s heart!” *continues laughing hysterically* jfc.
Really love how Alexa puts her hand beneath her chin and then waves. That goes along with her characteristics developed since the fairy gimmick in nxt back in 2014/2015, to the cosplaying mean girl in 2016/2017/2018, to the babyface in 2019/2020. Also adds another layer with her gloves. Love that.
Tumblr media
Nikki’s wandering around looking for Alexa, when clearly she should be looking for the Firefly Funhouse. I suggest asking Seth or Randy.
“Friends never give up on each other,” they also don’t give each other ultimatums cuz that’s toxic af, but okay.
She keeps running her mouth about Fiend and I can already see Alexa demolishing her for it.
LOVE the cohesion in going from one segment to the other as Sarah runs around looking for an interview. Fitting since that’s obviously her job, but it went together smoothly. They really come off as tmz lol.
Tumblr media
I appreciate how Miz doesn’t want to fuck with Bray cuz he knows Bray will just torment his family lol. I also appreciate his reasoning because he’s a true opportunist. he doesn’t want to exhaust himself with this match cuz he might cash in later.
Love Alexa’s remixed theme, it’s jarring af. Walking red flag btw.
Oh nooo Nikki what are you doinggg.
I’m not a fan of how Nikki sold this interaction. Didn’t feel natural at all.
OH SHIT the sound of that slap, oof.
Oh my god I love how Bray came out and glared at Nikki. FANTASTIC. Absolute gold. Then he just smiles at Alexa as she takes his arm to escort him to the ring.
And the way the camera focuses back on Miz and Morrison... Miz’s face... I can’t, this is tremendous tbh. What a great story to run throughout this week’s Raw.
Tumblr media
lmfao the way Alexa stuck her head between the ropes to scare Morrison. Ugh this pairing is easily my favorite thing in wwe rn.
Interesting, so Bray protects her. A fair duo.
I will never not cringe at watching people pretend to break someone’s neck by twisting it to the side. If I was a wrestler, that’s a move I would NEVER allow to be done to me.
On the plus side, Alexa took out Morrison and he sold it really fucking well. On the negative, it seems that distracted Bray as he’s more concerned for her well being now.
Oh my god the way Alexa reappears from behind the barricade. Creepy as shit.
Love watching her “balance” on the barricade considering she was one hell of a gymnast in her day.
Tumblr media
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for watching Lacey progress in the ring, cuz I think her character work is just fantastic, but holy shit what a downgrade going from Mandy and Dana to Lacey and Peyton.
Why is she excited? Why is it exciting to fight Sasha? Maybe Asuka should’ve taken that match a bit more seriously, considering the outcome. But I’m jumping ahead of myself.
“No one is ready for Asuka,” except for Charlotte, Becky, Shayna, Alexa, Sasha...
Tumblr media
I do appreciate how Lacey isn’t scared of anyone while Peyton is wary of literally everyone. That’s good. Nia has a point though, y’all could’ve used Mandy. I guess it doesn’t matter though, considering the outcome. Jumping ahead of myself again.
“Worst idea since Quibi” lmao shots fired.
*Bonus* Peyton/Lacey online exclusive: they vibe real well off script. Peyton made points saying she can’t wait to teach Lacey how to be on a team. That’s valid cuz Lacey is NOT much of a team player. Points to Lacey though, she’s funny as hell.
Highlight: Alexa Bliss
---
NXT:
Tumblr media
Awesome hearing War Pigs during that Shotzi promo. Is that the official theme song for War Games? If so, baller to wwe for shelling that cash out.
I’m guessing Shotzi was fixing her tank? Was that the premise? Regardless, the setting was different and interesting.
Tumblr media
I really like the fencing around nxt’s ringside. Fits with the grungy “indie” feel.
God I’m gonna have to watch Candice defeat Kayden and Kacy aren’t I?
Indi bought the Garganos a flat screen tv? :/ mk. What does she have to gain? Johnny was an AWFUL champion and Candice has never even held gold. What is she hoping to accomplish?
“Indi is gaining one of the best mentors in the nxt locker room” lmao WHAT.
omg Kacy and Kayden are so fucking entertaining, I feel like I say this every time I watch them. All tag teams need to TAKE. NOTES. Look at that cohesion and teamwork. Whew.
Hold on don’t try to retcon Tegan as leaving Candice’s side. I hate Tegan even more than I hate Candice, and she was a shite friend to Dakota by proxy of being a spineless dweeb, but do not try to paint Candice as the victim in her feud with Tegan.
I know nothing about the Dakota/Candice friendship but I’d go ahead and blame Dakota since she’s hella douchey lmao.
Imagine thinking Indi is an upgrade from Dakota. Commentary is super funny and distracting tonight lmao.
Was that not a flatliner? Sure looked like an intended flatliner.
So Kacy attempts to kill herself in the process of taking out Indi and none of the cameras caught it? :/ we still using interns looking for college credits in production? Is that what’s happening??
Vic is kind of an awful commentator in his actual calls. “Nice suplex, almost a brainbuster” better hope that was a brainbuster cuz if not, that was the saddest fucking suplex I’ve ever seen in my life.
So Kacy almost kills herself using offense against Indi and Indi was coherent first? Ugh anyway.
Tumblr media
Why do we have to listen to Ember speak every week? What a terrible idea.
So now she’s gonna be nxt’s savior by getting rid of Dakota and Raquel? Oh for fuck’s sake.
Why does she have fucking soda tabs on her gear still.
Why is she teaming with Toni. I THOUGHT THEY WERE HEELS. Seriously, am I the dumb one? Am I the one who needs their hand held? Has Ember not been acting like a heel since she returned? Am I the only one confused about Toni’s alignment??
“We’ve fallen victim to the numbers game” WHEN have you fallen victim to the numbers game, Toni? WHO WROTE THIS.
Tumblr media
I know nxt wants me to give a shit about Ember and Toni, but good luck making me care about anyone down there more than Dakota or Rhea.
I would really appreciate it if Dakota was moved up to the MR without actually showing any dissention from Raquel.
Dakota calls a lot of matches, I’ve noticed. Pro shit.
Toni’s German suplexes are amazing if she’s actually never hurt anyone, cuz MAN they look gnarly af.
Gorgeous tornado ddt by Ember. Nice speed, great handling by Raquel.
Don’t Dakota and Toni have quite the history? From UK?
Today in wrestling commentary: Vic cannot tell the difference between left and right.
Whoa I just noticed Dakota isn’t wearing her knee brace. That’s kind of monumental, right? Isn’t that a big deal? I feel like that’s a big deal.
Honestly I might like Toni more than Ember. She comes off as a lot more likable since her move to nxt.
Oh Christ I gotta see Candice again. 
Tumblr media
Hi why isn’t this main eventing? Do Rhea fucking Ripley and Io fucking Shirai not deserve it?? For real???
Hate it when refs hold the title up crooked. Noob.
Holy shit Io’s speed is TOP. TIER. Whew.
And then slips on the turnbuckle, sad. Could’ve been worse, could’ve been a Shotzi wipeout (and that’s what I’m gonna call it from now on)
What Io has in speed, Rhea has in strength, these are the facts.
Why did Vic cut Beth off by saying exactly what she was in the middle of saying? Vic’s losing a lot of points tonight tbh.
oof gnarly German suplex off the second rope by Io.
Oh my, Rhea’s ear is covered in blood. Must have punctured her ear with an earring. Rough. I say this as someone who has her fair share of piercings: it BOGGLES MY MIND why any of these women wrestle with their piercings in lmao. No ma’am.
Brutal match, whew.
Rhea wiped her own blood on her face.
There are some aprons spots with Rhea obviously waiting around that needed some work.
Rhea can sell, certainly, but her screaming is way too dramatic at times. Most notably at wm in the empty arena, but this match is a close second. Almost borders on annoying.
Niiice Rhea adding a nice vortex spin on the tail end of her cloverleaf submission. Points. Keep that.
Oh that Riptide attempt countered into an armbar by Io. BEAUTIFUL.
I liked that. Io goes for the 619 in the middle rope, Rhea ducks. Io goes for the 619 on the lower rope, Rhea dodges. Io strikes her a couple times, Rhea falls to the opposite side of the ring and Io proceeds to hit the 619. Good stuff.
Lol Io’s smiling at Rhea kicking out of the missile dropkick.
Nice flip off of Rhea’s clothesline but I’m not a fan of Io landing her moonsault on her feet. That’s not really her M.O.
Fucking spiked Rhea with a ddt by countering the Riptide again. That’s a solid champion, has her opponent completely scouted.
Beautiful sunset flip powerbomb through the ropes with Rhea landing through a table. Would’ve been cool if Rhea had let go right away, though.
In kf, I give points to Rhea for dragging herself from the rubble just to eat a clean pin. Great match.
Highlight: Io vs Rhea
---
NXT UK:
Tumblr media
Wow robbing me of KLR’s entrance. Guess Piper is officially the heel.
Quit calling her a “new” Piper Niven. A slight aggression is hardly “new”
BE CAREFUL WITH KLR’S SNAZZY COAT.
Y’all got tape out? Have we learned nothing from Bayley/Sasha hiac?
CHUCKED A FUCKING RING BELL INTO PIPER’S HEAD LMAO
Ugh headbutt that takes everyone out. Tsk.
Ric who? Charlotte’s dad??
Who do I gotta pay to see KLR vs Becky Lynch in an extreme match?!
KLR rolls away after that fisherman buster on the outside. Smart points.
Alright listen I’m on KLR’s side but WHY IS JINNY OUT HERE
Lol smacked Piper with a ‘no entry’ sign. Haha.
And Piper broke a sign over KLR’s head, followed by puns from the commentators.
rip random guitar.
Match doesn’t have any creative spots really, but they sure know how to utilize random objects.
BRO YOU CAN’T TAKE A STEEL PIPE TO HER KNEE ON CONCRETE, THAT’S HELLA RUDE. KLR lit a fire under Piper’s ass and Piper’s trying to retire her as thanks. Super, super rude.
Fuck her up fam, I don’t even feel bad.
??? Did KLR even land through the table or did she just land straight onto the fucking concrete? Jesus Christ man. No, she didn’t, she slid into the second table and just ate the floor. Oh my god. IS SHE OKAY??
Highlight: That vicious ending gained KLR a lot of respect in my eyes
---
Smackdown:
Tumblr media
Imagine being surprised that Adam chose the longest reigning SD women’s champion as his team captain. Granted she’s probably despised by everyone, but she’s got the pedigree, come on now.
Tumblr media
Look how good Bayley looks. Whew.
“You know what time it is? Bayley time.” she’s so annoying rofl.
Wow riveting stuff, I have zero comments about this 2 min match tbh.
Go stand in the ring with your damn captain, Bianca.
Lmao Bayley allergic to hugs now. Character progression.
It’s quite the team I’m ngl. I just wish we could’ve wrapped up this Sasha/Bayley shit like... months ago so we could enjoy captain Bayley for a bit longer. Gonna burn through this in one damn episode. It’s a bummer.
*Bonus* Nattie’s online exclusive: “I sailed through some rough waters [...] I’m smart, I’m sexy, I’m funny, I’m rich” She is funny, I will give her that.
Tumblr media
We’re getting Asuka/Sasha face to face? For real? Okay.
Cute, Sasha’s smile toward Asuka actually looked genuine. I miss when Sasha seemed genuine. It’s like Bayley killed that part of her.
“Michael are you forgetting what time it is?” BAYLEY TI-- “It is boss time, baby!” welp my mistake.
I’ve played Asuka’s dialogue to Sasha 3x and I still have no idea what she was saying because of her ridiculous fucking dancing and animation. I’m tired. Bayley come take her title.
Omg now she’s doing “you can’t see me” SHE ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING I absolutely despise her being champion.
Actually she is ready for Asuka, and I’m gonna take great joy in watching her win this Sunday. Sasha is hella unlikeable until the moment that bell rings, then she’s a god. Is what it is.
Booo Sasha was actually doing good on the mic, how dare you ruin that, Carmella.
Asuka is awful. Even Becky and Ronda fought off common enemies once upon a time. Asuka helps legit N O B O D Y. Awful champion.
Highlight: Captain Bayley
---
Survivor Series:
Tumblr media
Love Sasha’s gear.
Asuka kicked out at one, quick everyone cry about her selling. Oh wait she’s not Charlotte, my bad.
Beautiful attempt at an armbar by Sasha, whew.
Sasha is so good at this whole wrestling thing lol.
Nice pop up from that backstabber.
Right and in contrast, Asuka is an amazing striker.
Oh a codebreaker to Sasha as she dangles from the second rope. Gorgeous move.
Ahhhh the blue haired god got the job done. I knew she’d win but it’s so gratifying to see.
Not much to say about the match. The spots weren’t brutal or super creative/innovative, but it had GREAT back and forth and really showcased their chemistry in technical wrestling. Also might very well have been the best match they’ve had yet, seemed pretty short though. Still, an enjoyable watch. Good for Sasha.
Tumblr media
Lol the disdain in Nia’s face as she looks at Lana.
Look, Bayley’s arm band says ‘captain’ so she’s the captain.
Love seeing how creative people get with their gear at Survivor Series, as opposed to just throwing a damn brand shirt on. Looking at you, 2016.
One thing I’ve learned about Bayley is if she calls you sister, she genuinely likes you behind the scenes. So glad to see Lacey is in her good graces.
Omg Lacey learned how to do a kip up, everybody clap.
Love how the light shines off of Nattie’s gear. Got rainbows popping.
Squatting while stalling a suplex, and synchronized kip ups. Bianca and Nattie are fun.
“Bayley and the great Becky Lynch,” Oh shit, peep that RESPECT we’re putting on her name now? She gets ‘the great’?? wwe finally seeing her on the same level as ‘the great’ Charlotte Flair??? I am shook. Good for her, fucking deserved (also poor Bayley rofl)
Lana tags herself in again lmao. Nia 5 seconds from killing her. Look, Lana tries. Let her try.
I can’t breathe. she been put in timeout.
(referring to a move by Peyton) “I give that a perfect 10“ PPPFFFFTTTT
What a bump by Bayley; a suplex off the top rope onto the entire roster on the outside, and what a great locker room leader to be checking on everyone IMMEDIATELY as if she didn’t just fucking take a massive bump. Also poor Lana standing over there watching the fun lol.
Now I already knew Peyton pinned Bayley cuz of the outrage by Bayley fans who deemed her “buried” afterward, but I think it was a poor decision to have Peyton get that pin. Peyton sucks, not sorry. Have Lacey get that pin before Peyton. Actually, have Lana get that pin before Peyton.
Not sure what Nattie was going for with that submission to Peyton, but she improvised real quick. So points.
Doesn’t Nattie usually wear wrist guards? Awkward seeing her without them.
Goes for a sharpshooter on a woman who’s not even active rn. I’m removing her points lmao.
I legit never get to see Bianca’s 450 splash and you know what? Fuck y’all.
Well Bianca’s a great partner to do a Spanish Fly with so, good on Lacey.
That’s an interesting elimination. Ruby would’ve pinned Shayna as she had rolled back and reversed the Clutch, but the ref was distracted by Nia. By the time he started counting, Ruby had passed out. Interesting.
Crucifix Bomb by Liv eliminates Lacey, fucking dope.
Having Bianca as the last survivor on her team is great for Bianca. This is a compliment from management.
BEAUTIFUL catch by Shayna into the Clutch. Wow that was nice.
Ah we redoing the spot from their Takeover match, IE my introduction to Bianca. Solid.
Oh this is good. Bianca passed out from the Clutch while on the ropes so Shayna was disqualified. Nia drug Bianca out of the ring to put her through the announce table and they started brawling until they were both counted out. 
Again, I knew Lana was the sole survivor but seeing it happen is fucking hilarious. Nice protection for Bianca though, and seeing Nia this pissed off is so cathartic.
Highlight: Bianca was the real standout imo
---
*Survivor Series shined the brightest as we had both a great technical match, and a fun, entertaining multiwoman match filled with shenanigans. If that’s a cop out, then I’ll give it to NXT this week.

SPN 10x09: “The Things We Left Behind”
The prophetic nightmare.
Pontiac, Illinois.
Our second Wayward Girl, introduced similarly like Alex.
“Get your hands off me, perv. I’ll sue your ass.” With what lawyer?
“Your father’s here to see you.”
Tumblr media
The hope in Claire’s eyes when she hears it’s her father...when she sees Cas...
“I’m not your father.” Still so painful to see that spark die in her eyes.
“My dad … Is he still in there?”
“No. The human soul, it can only occupy a body while it retains a certain … structural integrity, and this vessel, it was … It was ripped apart on a subatomic level by an archangel.”
“Well, then how are you …?”
“I was reassembled. Your father is in Heaven.”
Jimmy’s officially dead.
“Where is your mother?”
“About a few months after you … She took off. Dropped me off at my grandma’s and went to go ‘find herself.’ I guess she’s still looking.”
That’s for another episode.
The intro of Cas’ new tie.
Tumblr media
Claire fixing Cas’ tie is rather cute.
The Jimmy Novak voice!
“You vanish, for years. No contact, not even a Christmas card. Why come back now?”
“I, um … I didn’t, uh … I was traveling.”
“For work.”
“Work. Yes.”
They didn’t think this through.
Tumblr media
“I … uh … I fight certain deadly threats to humanity.”
“He’s an exterminator.”
“I’m an exterminator.”
Cas is almost incapable of lying on the spot, omg.
“You know, I think I might have bedbugs. Any tips?”
“Of course. You should sleep tight and not let them bite.”
So cute.
“I’m denying your application for custody. I’m not trying to be the bad guy here. I’m not. But until Claire turns eighteen, she is my responsibility. I know you’re trying to do what you think is best. I know you want to be her friend.”
“I do.”
“And that’s our problem, Mr. Novak. Claire’s troubled. The last few years have not been easy for her. And she doesn’t need a friend; she needs a father.”
A very good point.
Tumblr media
It’s cute to see Dean laugh...but I can hear how forced it is.
Sam made him a grilled cheese sandwich. 
*Cas knocks a guard out.*
“Is he...?”
“He’s sleeping.”
Can’t wait to see that paralleled again in S13 with Jack and Kaia.
Rowena. Not looking too good for her.
Tumblr media
“The Castiel I met? He was crappy. Like super stuck-up and a dick and you just wanted to punch him in his stupid angel face.” I semi-disagree. He’s better now, but I didn’t mind him back then.
“Before, I was very self-assured. I was convinced I was on this righteous path. Now I realize that there is no righteous path. It’s just people trying to do their best in a world where it’s far too easy to do your worst.” Cas is so inspirational.
Claire picked his pocket there.
Damn it.
“This is why you called us? THIS is your emergency?” 
“Yes!”
“No, Cas! An emergency is a dead body, okay? Or—or a wigged-out angel, or the Apocalypse, take three.” 
HE’S YOUR FRIEND, HELP HIM OUT.
“Some chick bolting on you is not an emergency. That’s … that’s every Friday night for Sam.” lmao
“This isn’t just ‘some chick.’ I’m responsible for her.”
“Since when? You met her once, how many years ago?”
Twice, 6 years ago. Not to mention he possessed her for a bit.
LUNCH DATE LUNCH DATE LUNCH DATE!!!!
Tumblr media
“So you’re having a midlife crisis.”
“Well, I’m extremely old. I think I’m entitled.”
I love the faraway look in Cas’ eyes when he says that.
“Cas, listen to me. There’s some stuff you just got to let go. Okay? The people you let down, the ones you can’t save … You got to forget about them. For your own good.”
“Is that what you do?”
“That’s the opposite of what I do. But I ain’t exactly a role model.”
“That’s not true.”
There’s so much love and admiration in Cas’ eyes when he looks at Dean. I can not.
“How are you, Dean?”
“I’m fine.”
Tumblr media
Cas sees right through him. 
“Cas, I need you to promise me something.”
“Of course.”
“If I do go dark side, you got to take me out.”
On a date.
“Knife me. Smite me. Throw me into the freakin’ sun, whatever. And don’t let Sam get in the way, because he’ll try.” Did you really think Cas would stay true to that promise???
“That won’t work.”
“I didn’t ask you, Braveheart.”
“’Freedom!’”
I love that Rowena runs with the “Braveheart” insult.
“She was a HORRIBLE mother! Did I tell you the time she almost traded me for three pigs? THREE! I was an attractive child. I could juggle. I was worth five pigs, at least.” lol. Gotta love that self esteem.
“And don’t get me started about the name. ‘Fergus.’ It sounds like a venereal disease, and not the fun kind.” Are there any “fun” kinds???
“Claire’s a good kid, detective. She’s smart, and underneath it all, she has a big heart.” True. I’m sure Jody would agree.
Tumblr media
Dustin Tate. Claire’s friend.
Randy. You shady bastard.
“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have borrowed so much money. But, uh… The holidays are coming, and I like to spoil my kids.” I’m ~sure~ that’s what you used your money for.
“Kinda thought you were gonna … steal enough to pay down the debt, like we talked about. But, uh…”
“I tried.”
“Not hard enough.”
What kind of slimy manipulation???
Wiener Hut.
Bad cop Cas steps in.
Tumblr media
Pftt, Dean. 
“Wait ‘til you’re alone, then you hit that register jockey hard. You put the fear of God into him, you understand?” I doubt Claire could’ve done that. (Maybe now, but certainly not then.)
Cas steps in, again.
Tumblr media
“Eat me, Hasselhoff.”
“Claire, hold on a second. Look, my name’s—”
“Sam. And you’re Dean. We’ve met, remember?”
She remembers them, despite having minimal interaction with them.
“Claire. You were going to rob that convenience store?”
“So?”
“‘So?’ So … it’s—it’s wrong!”
Cas put on his Dad voice there.
“You killed my dad.” Technically that was either Raphael or Lucifer, depending on which sub-atomic destroying of the body Cas was referring to when he told Claire that her dad was dead.
Tumblr media
When Claire can’t (physically) hurt Cas, she knew that hurting Sam or Dean was the next closest thing. 
“I used to pray to you, Castiel. Every night. I would beg you to bring him home safe.”
“I know.”
OOOHHHH THE PARALLELS.
“Claire, that man is using you.”
“He was there for me. When things got bad—and they got REAL damn bad—he was there when no one else was.”
That’s manipulation, hon.
“You can go to hell.” Been there, done that.
Tumblr media
“As I remember it, you said I would die in a gutter, covered in my own sick.“ Didn’t that happen?
“How did you die?” She did take an interest in how he died.
“I didn’t even have a father!”
“Of course you had a father! You were just conceived during a winter solstice orgy, and it’s not like I was taking names.”
OH MY GOD.
“I understand you’re angry. I understand you … hate me. And if you want to keep me locked away, then so be it. But understand that I’ll always be your mother. And I’ll always love you.” I’m honestly not sure how much I can believe this. Knowing how devastated she is now that Crowley’s dead...
“Quiet Village” by Martin Denny.
Team Free Will bar scene!
“Cas, don’t beat yourself up, man. Claire was …”
“Right. She was right. Who am I to tell her how to live her life?”
“Well, somebody needs to. It’s not like we’re talking about Mother Teresa here. The girl just about knocked over a Gas n Sip. She’s got issues.”
“Because of me.”
“Well, you are wearing her old man’s meat suit. Probably didn’t help.”
Yeah, Dean’s right.
Father talk.
“Did you love your father?” A rather loaded question for some in the show/fandom.
“Tell him about that time in New York.”
“Oh yeah. Yeah, okay. So, uh … We were working this haunting in Long Island, and me and Sam begged the old man to let us go to the city for once.”
“He had this thing about New York, right? Too big, too loud, too dirty.”
“Yeah, and he hated the Yankees.”
“Big time.”
“Somehow, we convince him to let us go. So, we all go. We all, you know, see all the sights, and uh, ride the subway, eat too much pizza. The whole nine. Well, by about midnight, Sam and Dad are zonked, and I figure… Screw it. I’m going to CBGB.”
“So CBGB is --”
“I know. It’s where The Ramones and Blondie got their start.”
Cas spouting music trivia. s w o o n.
“Anyways, he was WAY underage at the time.”
“All right, so I get there. I sneak in, and it is nuts. I mean, people are drinking and they’re smoking and they’re—they’re snorting whatever. There’s a five-hundred pound guy on stage with a Mohawk just screaming. And, uh, my mind is blown. I don’t even know what to do. Then this girls walks up and she says ‘Hey, why don’t you come over and sit down with me and my friends at our table?’ All right!”
“Yeah, and they get him drunk. First time.”
“But not fun drunk. I’m not quite sure what was in that stuff, but the room starts to spin, and I feel like I’m going to puke … forever. And right about that time, I hear him. ‘Dean Winchester!’ My old man. I don’t know how, but he found me.”  
I’m guessing John knew Dean would go to CBGB.
“And now I’m really freaking out, because he’s just standing there, not saying anything. I look around, and everybody else is freaking out, too. In fact, nobody’s even looking him in the eye. And finally, this one guy with, like, a safety pin through his nose and a—a ‘Kill Everything’ tattoo looks up and he says, ‘Sorry, sir.’ 
Yeah. ‘Sorry, sir.’ To John friggin’ Winchester.”
I love that story.
“He saved you.”
“Yeah, and you know what he got for that? Me whining about how much he embarrassed me. Me telling him that I hated him. But then he stopped and turned around and he looked at me and he said, ‘Son, you don’t like me? That’s fine.’”
Tumblr media
“’It’s my job to raise you right.’”
For what I can say about John Winchester...i can say he raised Sam and Dean right. Even through questionable means...
“Guns blazing, huh? That was your plan?” Just like Dean.
“Last few months, you’ve lost a bundle on the ponies. How much do you owe me now?”
“Five thousand.”
HOW WAS CLAIRE, OR ANYBODY, GOING TO GET THAT CASH IN ONE NIGHT FROM STEALING FROM A GAS N’ SIP?! I could tear Randy’s head off for being such a scumbag.
“I know the con, all right? You find some kid with Major League daddy issues and then get her to steal for you. Cut the proud papa act. I’ll make you a good deal.”
“Like I said, Claire’s family. So it better be a damn good deal.”
*angry screeching*
Tumblr media
RIP Gerald. Killed by Crowley.
Rowena’s plan worked. Hot diggity damn.
“Rowena? You said that if I lied, you’d get me out of here.”
“Oh, and I will, darling. I’ll be back in a flash.”
Oooohhhh, just like she did Crowley/Fergus.
I know nothing happens to Claire here, but i get the worst vibes ESPECIALLY WHEN HE LOCKS THE DOOR.
Tumblr media
NO NO NO, LET HER.
Damn it, Sam. You should’ve stayed with Dean.
Oh god. It’s happening.
Tumblr media
How fucking quickly did he kill them???
RIP men in the house. Killed by Dean.
Tumblr media
Poor Claire. That’s traumatizing.
“Tell me you had to do this.”
“I didn’t … I didn’t mean to.”
“No. Tell me it was them or you!”
Sam...trying so hard to hold it together.
Even Cas is horrified...he knows this is the breaking point Dean told him about. He knows the promise he made to Dean. And now he knows that he may just have to kill him.
