Y/N Y/L/N: Archie said it wasn't that hard to be the Darkling

1. This is just Ben waiting like a Karen so that this "bullshit" would stop.

benbarnes: How dare you call me a "Karen" woman?! I call you "love of my life" and that's what I get?

Y/N Y/L/N: But you love me~ 🤭🤗🥰 Besides you don't need to be told that, you are the most handsome man to me!

Y/N Y/L/N: Seriously? ರ⁠_⁠ರ

User5: Now, Ben is also being a gremlin lol

User3: Only Y/N could call Ben a "Karen" and I'd be fine with it..

User5: She calls us "her gremlins" but at this point, she is the gremlin of all gremlins 😂

User6: Somewhere down the comments, It's said that Y/N had found her new victim, none other than DADDY PEDRO

User5: Their energy matches so well, both chaotic and energetic

Y/N Y/L/N: Safe in my room.🫦

User8: and Anna?

Y/N Y/L/N: I'm safe in her room.

User4: If Y/N was a Man, she would be the greenest green flag

Hater1: or a red flag... ı don't understand how everyone can love her so much. She is so annoying

User3: you can dislike her but never insult her like that. One, she has millions of fans two, she is almost the backbone of the industry and three, her man is overprotective asf

User2: @user3 don't bother too much, girl. Queen Y/N doesn't care about what the other think of her

User3: Say what you want, but I'm sure she cheated on Ben with one of them, or who knows? Maybe Ben also did it? Look at how he is with Jessie and say it to my face

User3: wtf is wrong with you? Neither Ben nor Y/N would ever do that. They had been together for almost three years and are committed to each other! They trust each other immensely which already means a lot to both of them, and shows us the deep connection they have. They are both succesfull, they already met their families and will probably get married soon and be happy with each other forever! And don't even bring my Jessie into this, she is the sweetest soul ever and she is like that with everyone else! She told many times that she was so nervous to shoot her scenes with Ben because she thought Y/M would be angry but our Queen never did and rrusted Ben, which isn't an easy feat for her! If you aren't a delulu girl, I don't know what you are and stay away from our beautiful and cute Y/N and her amazing boyfriend benbarnes! Liked by Y/N Y/L/N and benbarnes

SaB.memes: Just a quick question: What was your first reaction when you saw Danielle in the audition?

Y/N: I fell down from my fucking chair, that is what happened.

SaB.memes: and what about the Blake Lively liking your chaotic posts? 🤔

User3: You shouldn't have pointed that out *looks at Y/N worriedly*

Y/N Y/L/N: She didn't like my- HOLY SHIT, IT'S THE FUCKING BLAKE LIVELY?! *screeches like a dinosaur* JUST ONE CHANCE PLEASE!

User3: yep, the reaction we all expexted

Y/N Y/L/N: People had been asking me to share some Ben appreciation because I had been bullying him... And since he doesn't agree on talking to me unless I make a fluffy post about him, and he is backed up by the fans, here it is... I guess?

1. Said this one was for me before he went and shot the most obsecure and violent scene we ever did... Gee, thanks😑

2. Can you get off of my throne? You lost your chance 600 years ago!

3. This is just Ben turning crispy and flirting with me , using a corny pick-up line like "There she is, my saviour angel!"... Sir, I'm the reason you are burning in that costume😑

hello! can you write a fluff between boss!debbie and hr!lou where they’re trying to hide their relationship but actually the whole office already know about their relationship. love your stories!! thank you :D

“Just go out my door, baby,” Debbie whispered, shooing the blonde towards the door leading out to the main office. “You don’t have to wait for her to go on lunch. Mita won’t ask questions.”

“She’ll know exactly what’s going on, Deb,” Lou sighed. “And you know what a nightmare that is. Not only are you my boss—but I’m the head of HR. You know, like the asshole that enforces all these rules about dating and inappropriateness in the workplace.”

“What’s inappropriate about this?” Debbie asked, smirking at Lou, still seated on top of her desk.

“For one, you missed a button when you were putting your blouse back on,” Lou grinned, folding her arms across her chest, now satisfied that her point had been proven.

“You’re the one who took it off,” Debbie hissed.

“Did you not like that?” Lou asked, fingering the lapel of her own blazer as Debbie bit her lip, trying her damndest not to blush. “You can always file a complaint with HR.”

“Like hell I’ll be doing that,” Debbie snorted. “But seriously go. We could have been in a meeting. That’s why I had Amita put our little rendezvous on my calendar.”

“We should just tell everyone,” Lou thought aloud, her hand on the door. “Instead of the sneaking around. I mean don’t get me wrong. It was and still is a turn on having you be my dirty little secret.”

“Dirty?” The brunette scoffed, hopping down from the desk, her button down still askew, slightly coming out of her pencil skirt in a cute and barely messy way that made Lou swoon. “I’m farrrrr from dirty.”

“Not when it comes to your mouth, love,” Lou grinned. “But it’s one of my favorite things about you. But anyway, distractions aside, we should just tell everyone. Sure, you’re my boss. And I hold a supervisory position but we’re allowed to date under HR rules. You’re not actually supervising me. We’re basically on the same level. Nobody is taking advantage of anybody. It’s consensual. It’s sexy. It’s amazing. And you’re like the love of my life so—“

“Lou,” Debbie blushed, coming to stand in front of her as she played with the collar of Lou’s shirt. “I know, baby. I want to. I just—I want them to still take us seriously. What would they think? We’re the two people in charge of them they report to and are supposed to respect. I don’t want to ruin the productivity of the office. And I want them to treat us the way they do now.”

“They will, Debs,” Lou murmured, kissing the tip of her nose. “I promise. And they’ll appreciate the fact that we’re being transparent and honest with them instead of sneaking around. And it’s not like it’s some hookup. This is real. This is going somewhere. What? We’re going to wait until our assistants realize that we both took the same week off for our honeymoon?”

“Our honeymoon, mm?” Debbie giggled.

There was a gentle knock on the door that made Lou jump, bumping into Debbie, the two of them ricocheting across the room as Debbie stumbled into her chair and Lou booked it towards the arm chair across from her.

“Come in!” Debbie called, Debbie’s assistant coming in with her hands over her eyes, shyly making her way to the desk. “Mita! Am I running late for my next meeting?”

“No, you’re fine. It’s just—uh—I don’t quite know how to say this but you sort of um—sat on your desk intercom button and well—I overheard your conversation,” she squeaked.

“Fucking shit,” Lou groaned, sinking down in her chair as she flung her tie over her shoulder. “Listen, Mita—what you heard—“

“No, I actually came in because. Because it’s okay!”

“Amita, I know you’re my assistant but you don’t have to keep secrets for me,” Debbie promised her. “If you’re uncomfortable in any way, please—“

“No,” Amita grinned, stringing her hands together. “I mean it’s okay because we all kind of know already?”

“You know that…” Debbie prompted.

“That you two are together,” Amita shrugged. “I mean Constance saw you two having dinner a few months ago which could have been anything but then Rose said she saw you two at Target together the other day and well—we’ve kind of pieced stuff together.”

“God, we can’t even sneak around properly,” Debbie exhaled, covering her face with her hands. “We thought we were being so sly.”

“I mean, yeah,” Amita laughed. “But you also have zero standing appointments on your calendar except for Lou. I mean Ms. Miller. And she’s the only one you don’t have me take a message for and always patch through. I’m just saying, you two don’t need to worry. We’re big fans around here.”

“We’ve got fans, babe,” Lou laughed.

“Shut it, HR.”

“You got it, boss.”

hii i need you to help me out cause soc and ck were some of my favourite books and i genuinely did not enjoy season 2 at all… i know people say the performances were good but i don’t really feel like that’s true for a lot of the actors? also yeah everything was rushed but also it straight up did not make any sense sometimes? the only moments i enjoyed were basically the ones copy pasted from the books and some of the innovative moments of the end (ew inej and tolya tho) anyways i’m really trying to find stuff to like abt it so pleaaaaase help what won you over?

OMG OKAY POSITIVITY BREAK!!!!!

I liked Daisy Head as Genya a lot!!!! She was amazing and the one performance I see no fault with. Freddie Carter slayed the "you Inej, you", Amita Suman slayed the armor scene and Inej vibes, Jack Wolfe and Danielle Galligan slayed in general. Archie Renaux did give off a "I'd rather be somewhere else" vibe, but considering he's been treated like a chewtoy by *akhem akhem* some fans for the past 2 years, I can't fault him, he is still doing well enough for me to care abt Mal. I liked the part where the crows all stand around in their Komedie Brute costumes. Nina flirting with Kaz and Kaz sending murder eyes towards her is great. Black Veil looked really cool. The Darkling crying over his mom was genuinely a heart pinging scene. I also enjoyed the Malina ending, as well as Nikolai. The fort where the final battle takes place is super pretty and made me wanna go hiking.

Summary: Reader is in a relationship with Nine Ball (Leslie), but one night reader is acting a bit off with Nine Ball

Warning: Angst, Death (Reader) in the end, sad, overthinking!Nine ball, tell me if there is more-

Song OST of this chapter

Nine Ball's POV

Y/n's pretty drunk and tired tonight. I dragged my stupid girlfriend to my place tonight since she's been slurring like an ass and I loved this side of her. Not the clingy one. This is just pure performance for me, seeing y/n this drunk after our whole night out with Amita and Constance.

Once we reached my apartment, I unlocked my door, still holding y/n tightly before going in and closing the bloody door, I dragged her to the couch and laid her there.

"Girl, you're fucking drunk to hell! How much did you drink, man?"

"Ehehe- I- ahahahahahah!!" She laughs like a fucking joker, so I go to the toilet before turning the shower on. I lifted y/n before carrying her to the toilet and stripping her down. I am still stunned seeing her back tattoo from the mirror reflection because it looked hot on her...

I slowly stroked her back, touching the tattooed skin, before planting kisses on her neck, making her squirm under my action.

"I-It tick-lessss Leslieeee..." She says before kissing my neck slowly like she always do when she's happy. She hugged me, resting her face at the crook of my neck which it feels like she's not even drunk right now.

"Leslieeeee...."

"Yes little dumbo?" I answered before she continues,

"I loveee youuuu!!"

"I know that dumbo. I love you too stupid."

"Heheheheheheeeeeee..." She giggles before she pulls back and cups my face using her cold hands. She leaned closer and rested our forehead together, brushing our noses together, making me smile from her silly attitude.

"What is it you dumbo?" She just stares in my eyes and slowly trails to my lips. She looked scared to kiss me because I'm the one who always kiss her first according to my mood.

"N-nothing Leslieee..." She stopped cupping my face and looked away. I'm a bit confused right now. Why she's acting like this? Is it because she's drunk or she's already a bit sober already.

I pulled her face to look at me and I see tears in her eyes. S-She never cries....

"W-what's wrong little one? Tell me what's going on in your pretty head darling..." I changed my tone so she felt calmer because it works sometimes. She just looked away even though her face's facing me.

I pulled her legs wrapping my waist before turning the shower off and carried her to my bed, laying her on the side but she didn't move. I'm a bit worried now. Is she mad?

I crawled next to her, hoping she'll turn to me, snuggle into me, asking for hugs and kisses like she always do even though it annoys me all the time, but now I felt sad because she's like avoiding to give me any physical contact like she loves to do.

"Y/n darling... what's wrong? Come here, give me a hug boo? You love cuddles right?" She seems off. Something's wrong somewhere.

"You don't like hugs." Hugs? She always call it cuddles. I'm the one who call it hugs. What's going on actually right now?

"Just come here and give me your cuddles darling... you loved it right? Give me one baby..." Now I can feel my heart breaking seeing her like this. Did I change her? Tears starts dwelling in my eyes which I never cried before but this broke me. She just looked the other way, avoiding me.

I slowly slide behind her, hugging her from the back and her body tensed up suddenly. But I ignored it and I just hugged her tightly. Now I know how she felt when I don't give any affection to her. Now I totally understand the pain being ignored when you needed the person the most.

Her body slowly relaxes and she just sobbed softly, covering her mouth to muffle the sounds because she remembered I said to her I don't like a cry baby, I don't like cuddles or kisses unless I'm the one asked for it and now she's acting like it. A totally different person.

She doesn't even attempted to turn to me, asking me to cool her down or wipe her tears. I turned her body facing me before pulling her face into my chest and hugged her tightly while apologizing to her...

"I'm sorry baby, just please talk to me darling, I'm so sorry, please ask for cuddles from me baby... Don't ignore me please.. I'll give you as many kisses, cuddles and you can cling on me all day or just cry if you want to. But please. Don't push me out. I need you to talk to me baby..." I persuaded, begged, pleaded for her forgiveness because I felt like I'm losing her.

I don't want to lose her. Yes I call her stupid, dumbo and idiot. But she's my idiot, my little dumbo. Mine. I need her in my life.

I felt her arms slowly, but still shaking to hug me. I pull her arms, wrapping it myself before hugging her tighter and I felt her sobbing harder.

"It's okay boo, just cry. Go ahead. I'm not gonna get mad anymore. Please, just do anything you want to me. I'm letting you..." I reassured her before she looks up, with her eyes still pooling with tears. I wiped her tears and kissed her forehead softly, not wanting to let her go anymore.

"Y-you don't like kisses-"

"No darling, do whatever you want. I won't stop you anymore. It hurts without you asking for hugs and kisses for a moment. Go on baby..." She just looked at me, still unsure and I leaned my face closer before connecting our lips.

The kiss was slow, soft but full with love which y/n love it soft. She just sobbed before pulling back, leaving me a bit shocked.

"What's wrong y/n baby?"

"N-nothing... Y-you m-must b-be t-tired f-from t-treating m-my s-stupid a-ass... I-I'm s-sorryyy..." She said between sobs before turning away. What the fuck did I do to her? Why is she like this???

"Noo noo nooo baby, I'm not tired from dealing your attitude boo... I'm fine... Look! I want you to cuddle with me, come on darling..."

She turned to me before hugging me again. I want this to be forever. I love her so much which it hurts seeing her hurt.

"I'm s-sorry L-Leslie..."

"No darling... I'm sorry okay?"

"Leslie..."

"Yes baby?"

"Promise me something..."

"Anything for you boo..."

"Stay with me.. until the end of our life?"

"Stay, together until the end of our life baby. I promise..."

We linked our pinkies together before kissing our thumb as a promise...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I remembered what happened a year ago while struggling to tidy up y/n's stuffs, putting it in a box to hand it back to Lou, her sister.

"Y/n... why did you leave me baby? I need you.. You promised to stay with me right? Why did you broke our promise? Why did you go first without me y/n?"

I looked at the picture that I took with y/n a few days before the day she died. We were so happy. Both of us were having so much fun at the funfair. She was smiling to ear to ear while holding the alpaca plushie that she got from one of the games she won. But now, I'm holding it in my arms, wanting to feel her again in my arms, hugging me tight like she used to.

But a few days after that, she got into an accident while coming back from work, back to me. She was hit by a truck and she... died..

The radio was playing our favourite song, but it don't sound the same. Our bed felt a little big bigger now compared to before anything of this happened..

I slowly sang along with the song I'm listening to while lying down on the floor, hugging y/n's plushie and hoodie..

In another life...

I would be your girl...

We'd kept all our promises be us against the world...

In another life...

I would make you stay...

So I don't have to say you were...

The one that got away...

What do you think about Julia Quinn not having POC characters in her books in the past? Cause I read somewhere that she didn't want to write something she didn't know about and she was dragged but I kind of get that. It would easily come off as insensitive and racist to have a person of colour in a romcomy plot set in regency England and brush off the extremely racist behaviours they'd face irl. What's your view?

Ask Dated: 17th Feb 2023

This is a great lead in from my previous ask and point about JQ only NOW writing a heroine of colour into a book after she got paid big bucks for it. It was SO embarrassing of her to sit beside Beverly Jenkins and say something along the lines of (and I am paraphrasing): "It's hard to write people like that into this era because they weren't traditionally Dukes or Earls and did not get happy endings." Listen, I get what she was trying to say but dear god does it sound like we POC do not deserve to get happy endings in a HR context. It was just appalling and so dumb to say out loud. Especially when Beverly who was right next to her has been writing Black characters in that context forever.

One small good thing about the QC book is that she did work on it with Shonda so at least she had that perspective a sensitivity writer would have provided her if JQ had made the choice to include heroes and heroines of colour in her books a long time ago.

This is my view essentially: I think being afraid to write characters of colour because of being insensitive and people of colour not being a part of the aristocracy is such a cop out answer. Because firstly, you can always do research and talk to people to be sensitive to the various cultures you wanna write. Secondly, you can always incorporate POC into the peerage. Personally, I think there are two ways to tackle writing characters of colour in a HR context. For white authors; they DEFINITELY should hire and use sensitivity writers/readers for obvious reasons. As for the storytelling aspect itself; I think characters of colour can be written into the story either through 1) a very realistic manner to that era as Beverly Jenkins, Adriana Herrera and similar authors (I recently read a book by Amita Murray I'll talk about in a bit) who have done so before or 2) set it in a completely different alternate universe where people of colour have always held titles and positions within the aristocracy and this can either be addressed or not at all. If it is addressed then you are allowed to embellish some parts of history for the lore of your story. It is still historical *fiction* at the end of the day.

The former process takes a lot of research, care and consideration when writing these characters and the political and diverse landscape of the time. Take Amita Murray's book, Unladylike Lessons in Love for example. While it wasn't the greatest book in terms of romance, Amita really did her research with the era she set the story in, The Victorian Era. It is also known to be an era that was booming with more diversity - this allows authors and storytellers alike more flexibility to incorporate characters of colour and how they came to the story's setting. On the other hand, you have people just doing blind cast in media like Mr. Malcolm's List (which I'd like to remind everyone came out WAYY before Bton and did it first and better!!) and now The Buccaneers where the characters of colour just exist as they are with no explanation required! They are seen as people first and its so refreshing. Props to Mr. Malcolm's List for acknowledging Malcolm's ethnicity and heritage by having him speak in Yoruba in one of my fave scenes in the movie. As for The Buccaneers, I have not finished it so I cannot speak to how they handled everyone's ethnicity but I did love the pseudo Harry and Meghan parallels with Dickie and Conchita from what I saw in the first ep. As for the addressing how the characters came to be in an embellished history/AU, I guess the Queen Charlotte novel would be an example of how authors can bend history to explain away the colonialism of the time. However, I personally disliked the way it was done and executed within Bton and subsequently QC. Because QC and King George are HUGE historical figures to embellish this much with. It also just felt icky to use them to explain away racism and colonialism of that era. Personally in my own HR writing, I have been taking the Mr. Malcolm's List route of just having people of colour exist in all the spaces without any explanation while still incorporating my characters' cultures into their daily lives/weaving in lines that explicitly state this isn't a character readers can default as white.

Essentially it all boils down to white authors taking the care and consideration to actually write characters of colour. It is an EVEN MORE IMPORTANT STEP to have sensitivity readers and writers to help make the characters actually sound and feel like an actual person of colour. No point having a white writer who is just gonna write a white coded character and slap on a different skin colour (which happens SO often in this fandom sighh). I also think fandom spaces and the publishing industry have a huge problem in not seeking out and hyping up creators and authors of colour. Like I think with these kind of stories, it should come from our own communities first and be uplifted to be shared with everyone.

I think the publishing industry has slowly started doing better, I don't know if I can say the same for fandoms, especially this one. The amount of times I have seen people lauding and defaulting to white authors over authors of colours who produce the same amount and quality of work has been pretty disappointing.

Adding on to say, everyone who wants to write Indian characters - specifically Tamil ones - my asks and DMs are always open for questions!!

(Though heads up after the first week of Jan I will be swamped with my new role at my newish job so me replying may take longer than expected I have a life now guys 😭😭)

You and Me - CH 1

Here's the start of that (hopefully short) Amito fic I talked about a while ago. This isn't required reading or anything; just the backstory of their relationship that folks are welcome to check out if they're curious. You can consider everything that happens in this to be canon to them, though by default nothing will effect rp interactions they could have with the same canon characters who may appear for story content.

If you don't want to see this pop up on your dash, blacklist this tag: amito fic // ♡ you and me ♡

If Amita had to say one positive thing about Satan City, it holding an actual farmers’ market open to the public was an easy pick. There was nothing wrong with going to a grocery store, but fresh products sold directly by those responsible for their creation with no strings attached was an almost completely different experience. What’s more, is that farmers had a greater chance of gaining profits they rightfully deserved with no middlemen potentially getting in the way. It was a win-win situation all around, in most areas.

Currently she walked down a dirt path cutting in-between multiple booths, toting her purse on one of her shoulders and a large woven basket in her hands. What she was looking for in particular was a specific vegetable booth, maintained by a man she’s grown to favor. He was a very friendly person, with produce of fair prices that had high quality she often didn’t even find in stores. When she didn’t find him right away, she did start to wonder if he just didn’t set up shop this time around…

Those doubts were dashed when in the distance, she did spot that familiar white cloth of a tent marked by a rough sketch of a carrot and other veggies. Upon moving closer though, Amita moved some thick coils of her hair away from her squinting eyes.

Whoever was behind the stand definitely wasn’t who she was expecting. It was another fair-skinned man, one who she’s sure she has never met before. His dark hair stood up in wild spikes, while bangs curved over his forehead. He was clothed in an orange shirt and dark blue overalls, with white gloves covering his hands. Judging on his leaning position, elbow on the wooden counter and he resting his head in his hand with an utterly bored expression, she couldn’t say he looked happy to be here at the moment.

A brow of hers quirked, but she saw no reason why she should change her shopping plan. She advanced towards the booth, and observed the man continue to stare off into space. It wasn’t until she was virtually right in front of him that he seemed to snap out of his trance with a double take, staring blankly at her before blinking rapidly.

“…Hi. This is Goku’s booth, right?” She adjusted her hold on her basket, smoothed out her long denim skirt, and looked over things carefully. At their close proximity, underneath the shade provided by the booth’s tent, she could now see that the stranger was…awfully muscular. His exposed arms alone were incredibly stocky, but she could tell his overall build was the same. That wasn’t an unusual thing per se, but most – if not all – of the farmers around weren’t cut like bodybuilders or the like.

The only other one who was is…well, Goku. Interestingly enough.

“It is. I’m covering for him.” He responded, standing up straighter.

“Has he gone away somewhere?”

His eyes briefly averted, and she saw a slight change to his frowning expression. It turned solemn and…uncomfortable in a sense, but she couldn’t make a guess as to why. The vibe faded in the next second.

“…Yes. He won’t be back anytime soon.”

“I see.” Her curiosity and confusion grew, but she saw little point in questioning him further. While a part of her was disappointed Goku was gone, her interest in whoever he assumedly picked to take his place only increased.

“What’s your name, then?”

“Vegito.”

“Well, I’m Amita. A regular of Goku’s, you could say.”

“I know.” He responded automatically, but seemed to lose some of his composure when she gave him a puzzled look. He cleared his throat and tapped some of his fingers against the wood. “He’s…told me about you.”

“That so? I hope he’s said good things. ” Goku apparently having spoken about her to him and probably other people was something she didn’t think she’d learn today, but despite them being mere acquaintances at best, she supposed it wasn’t that odd. Amita left her rhetorical statement there, and began scanning the assortment of vegetables that were displayed along the booth’s perimeter. Vegito also seemed to leave that topic and move on, as he addressed her browsing.

“What’d you want to buy?”

She spent the next 5 or so minutes picking out produce and placing them into her basket. She gave it to Vegito and after he telling her the total price, fished her wallet out of her purse to give him the zeni.

“Thanks for the purchase.” He smoothly stated, though in a monotone fashion like it’s been rehearsed. She didn’t pay it much attention.

“It’s no problem.” Amita hummed, taking steady hold of the now-heavier container. She faced Vegito again, and a period of silence fell over them. She realized with a start that she was staring and taking in his facial features when too many seconds had already passed. He looked at her in bemusement, though she could detect faint amusement present as well if his small half-smirk was anything to go by.

“Uh, I’ll see you around.”

That quickly said, she turned on her heel and promptly walked away in the attempt to not make the atmosphere even more awkward. Gripping her basket’s handle tightly, she fought the heat that started to build up behind the ebony skin of her cheeks with a shake of her head and an embarrassed scowl. One intrusive thought managed to slip through the cracks.

Vegito was…honestly quite handsome. She surely wouldn’t mind seeing him again.

(random thought I had, you're welcome to ignore) You know how cats sometimes bring you dead animals? I have a feeling Penny would do this too. Like the Nurse(reader?) opens the door and there's a leg,arm or even the whole person (probably someone who insulted/hurt the nurse in some way) lying in front and they see Penny standing in the hallway looking proud of himself lol.

Penny : "OF COURSE ! I love giving presents to the staff, especially the nurses. They always have the funniest reactions !"

Nurse Y/N opens the door and sees a beating heart on the front porch.

"Hum..Thanks ?"

She/He looks at Penny who is smiling widely, proud of himself.

"Is it human ?"

He mysterious giggles and Y/N rolls her/his eyes at him...It is going to be a long day.

Amita : "He brought me a dead bird once and threw it at my window..I got out my rifle and he didn't make the mistake twice."

Father Cornelius : "I was praying when I heard a noise outside. I thought it was a wandering racoon, but I found a dead one instead. By the way his stomach was wide open and his insides spread on the doorstep..I immediately knew who it was. I tried to tell him that it wasn't necessary, but I'm not sure he understood."

Viktor : "He brought me a rabbit's foot..Still attached to the skinless bloody rabbit. Don't know how he got my address. I did change the locks after that. But, a gift is a gift and I need all the luck I can get."

Eva : "He brought me deer teeth. I still have them. In a box. Somewhere. My first present as a nurse."

Liam : "...He brought me a bull. I don't know where he got it from. And I'm not sure I wanna know."

thank you @ishwaris for tagging me <3 <3 <3 this is for the wip a few days back but i jsut felt like doing it right now, enjoy this rapunzel au snippet !

tagging: @swearingcactus @icannotsit @kbysh-kds

“Not so confident about your efficiency.” Ajay pushed his hand off him.

“Don’t you underestimate us.” Amita hissed, glaring at him. “You may be an American but that doesn’t make you better than us. How else could you have been caught?”

She had a point there.

“Brother, please, we need all the support we can get. If it means one more soldier, it’d be an honor.” Sabal said, free hand resting at the hem of his shirt. “We’ll provide you with anything you need. Housing, supplies, medicine… Whatever Rabi has certainly won’t be enough for you.”

He didn’t really know how to react to this, knitting his eyebrows together as Amita pulled Sabal away from his shoulder and began to talk behind him. It was silence and whispers for a moment, then, Amita turned on her heel. He thought about it. He thought about the way this would benefit him; pros and cons listed somewhere in the back of his mind as he stepped closer within their range.

Pro number one: if he gets this right, he could have Sabal wrapped around his finger like he already seems to have.

Con number one: Amita doesn’t seem to budge as easily as Sabal does.

He had to take her down with him too.

“Like I said. I’m not confident with your efficiency.” Ajay said. “I know what I’m in on this for, what about you?”

“We’re looking for a future to Kyrat—”

“I wasn’t talking to you.” Ajay looked at Amita.

Amita stifled at the question. But she crossed her arms and stared back at Ajay. Then she said: “I’m trying to look for justice for the women and children who suffered under Min’s regime.”

“And you think I could help bring justice to them?” Ajay asked.

“I want proof that you can.”

“With the help of supplies… weapons that are gonna be useful,” Ajay muttered as he started to think of himself. Sabal seemed to quirk his head at that, while Amita kept her arms folded in waiting. Ajay pulled the strings to make it tighter and tried with, “It only takes a little while before they notice the plane coming down in South Kyrat. What would you do if I left midway?”

Amita’s eyes widened, then she scoffed, “Nothing is stopping you. We’ll need your hands for a bit and then you can fuck off to whichever part of America your mother brought you to.”

“And if you go back to where you started before all this? What then, are you gonna say to that?” Ajay reached behind him, pulling out the gun. “It only took this and a few outposts. I bet your soldiers can’t remember to count to ten when trying to set off a grenade. Go on, say as much as you need to,” I dare you, he thought.

Amita’s fists seemed to ball up against that. She held her breath for a moment, then let out a sharp exhale, and as Sabal tried to reach out to her shoulder she pushed it away and glared back at Ajay.

“Proof, or you’re not one of us.” She said, stiffly.

Slapped together a “proper” ref of Amita in her gi (I might tweak the colors but I feel this is overall concrete). Images and more info about her under the cut -

As I mentioned in the replies of that doodle, Amita is Triclops/Human-mixed (like Tien Shinhan) hence why she has a third eye. I’m also projecting onto her and making her Black-coded with a natural hair volume n such I wish I had coughcough. Since canon really hasn’t done much with the Triclops race and human characters in the series honestly deserve more attention, I figured it’d be fun to design an OC around it and try to flesh things out more.

Amita itself admittedly isn’t much of a “punny” name to go along with the series’ stable, but it is the name of an IRL fruit juice brand, so...one COULD associate it with fruit. A nice contrast since she’s paired with Vegito, who’s a Saiyan and Saiyan names are all taken from veggies hehe.

The IRL theme revolving around third eyes is enlightenment, which has a lot of influence in Hinduism and Buddism, so I’m taking some inspiration from both for what the Triclops’ religion and standard lifestyle was like. (Tien can literally grow multiple arms and IIRC this was stated somewhere in official media - I think a Daizenshuu book or Toriyama interview? - to be a Triclops-exclusive ability, so my logic at least holds a little water.)

I’ll go into more detail about this another time, but I’ll just summarize here and say that the Triclops’ culture is very spiritual and revolves around belief in Kami alongside the higher deities. They practice that the ultimate fate for someone is to transcend the mortal coil through “dying” and being “reborn”, eventually freeing themselves from the cycle of suffering, so they can stand closer to the gods and reach a “perfect” state of being.

The race is alien in origin but after their homeworld was destroyed (the how and why TBD), they migrated to Earth centuries before the start of DB, so “pureblooded” members don’t exactly exist anymore - though children are considered “full” Triclops regardless if they have a third eye. They weren’t biologically designed for fighting, so Amita doesn’t get much benefits from her alien blood in regards to combat. No Zenkai or deus-ex-mechina things like that.

Since the concept of ki is actively taught in Triclops culture, paired with their traditional style of martial arts, Amita knows what ki is and is able to use it competently (unlike most average humans), so she can fly and shoot ki blasts. She’s also a lot stronger than the average Earthling, but isn’t anywhere near the ridiculous heights the main cast characters have reached.

Age-wise, Amita’s in her early thirties. As for what her height is, I say she’s about 5′6″ / 167cm. Her weight is around 160 lbs / 72 kg, from a combination of developed muscles and fat. In her backstory she went through a depression bad spell for Reasons and stopped regularly training & exercising for a few years, so she’s not as in shape as she was in her early adult/teen years. Vegito ofc has helped her get somewhat back into routine since they do train together often.

Can you write a fic about the moon boys who are dating a reader with daddy issues, maybe her dad is abusive too. And they all protect her and deal with her dad. I understand if you don't feel comfortable writing!!

I did my best hope you like it!

Edit: it got out of hand oops

Warnings: abuse, dissociation (it's a bit personal on it sorry), jake is called tío (uncle) based on a comic, age gap (reader is of age)

It's not first time the flat downstairs is having a yelling match, Steven used to ignore it considering most people in this place have problems. Then one day he heard crying outside of his window. Marc was curious too since they both live on the top floor, there's no way someone lives above them. Then they see you curled up in a corner on the roof somehow safe from falling. You look young and from the loud (God they are loud) Steven and Marc know you to be at the age to be considered an adult. Marc has no fond memories of his childhood nor when he turned eighteen (he left to join the military, his ticket away from his family).

Dad wants you out. Mom wants you to stay. You just want to be able to breathe.

Steven is not sort to get involved in flat's drama but he involved himself the second he opened the window and invited you into his flat.

The arguments start when you talked about moving with a friend since both of you will be going to the same college. Your 'sperm donor' as you call your father, said you were abandoning your family! The audacity! Mom wants you be safe but supports this step in your life. The shouting started when mom didn't agree with father and you told him to calm down. Then he locked you in your room and well... Here you are.

"Here," It becomes a normal thing to have you over. Steven really wishes you could walk up the stairs rather then climb up to his flat. "There's more sugar than tea in that." You smile as you accept the mug of tea. Steven talks to you, asks about your day, tells you about his day.

It's nice.

Marc is introduced when you come upstairs and Steven isn't home. You break in by jamming open a window. Marc finds you putting an ice pack on your side. "Let me see." Steven said he has a brother than comes by so you trusted whoever Steven trusts. "What happened?" It's a nasty bruise on your side and you say nothing. "Did your dad do this!?" You shake your head, to involve a stranger into your family problems felt wrong... Your parents made you believe that.

Don't push her to talk. Marc knows that, can tell by how stare into the distance you are going elsewhere. Probably thinking about somewhere nice or an excuse to believe things will get better. He made a ton of excuses for his mother until it was too late. "Stay the night." You nod.

Steven and Marc, you trust them. When around them you are safe. Their flat was your safe haven.

But dad found out. You climbed out of window when he tried to hurt you again. Shaking and hiding, you use the phone Marc bought you call them. Fear rising when the banging on the door becomes kicks. You count backwards, covering your ears, mind going to the that safe place.

"Amita."

Marc spoke to you about his DID when he saw you trying to dissociate, escaping into your mind by shut down completely. You were so happy someone understands the pain you are going through.

"He's gone." The gloves touching your face are cool against your burning skin. The panic high and he knows better than to leave you like this. "You did good, amita." Assuring you, sitting next to you in the kitchen. This is tìo Jake, you call him tìo because you imagine him to be the type of uncle you always wanted. Though Steven is one who want as a boyfriend, Marc too.

"Dad... He's having hard times." This is the first time you spoke rather than writing words on a paper.

"Don't make excuses for him." Jake has no buffer.

"..." You sigh, "Sorry, Steven for calling you from work."

"Señorita, there's no reason to apologize. We got your back. We are.. Grateful you did call." The unspoken fear of what would've happen if you didn't call him.

"Did you kill him?"

"No," The way his hands make fists says he wished he did. "He's taking a nap." You move close resting your head on his shoulder. "Next time, it will be in the ground."

"Can I have Steven?" You need to be held. He stands up, hand out to take yours. "I will wait." He kisses for forehead.

When Steven comes out you cling to him desperately, no tears as those long ago ran out, breathing in the scent of what a academica core must smell like. He talks you through breathing exercises, talks about mindless things, stays with you until you are asleep in his arms.

Safe. Loved. Protected. The three things all three of them give to you, and you hold it dearly.

DAY 5140

Jalsa, Mumbai Mar 14/15, 2022 Mon/Tue 12:33 AM

💙 , Tomorrow .. March 15th .. be the birthday of the beautiful , Ef Fatima Zohra Daheur , aka , Amita .. from the state of the Two Lions .. !! .. Prayers for the peace of beauty and strength .. within and without .. 🙏🏻💠✨ Love .. 🌹

Birthday Ef .. Ankita Dadajwar , Nanded .. Tuesday, March 15 .. and the wishes of all the Ef for this special day .. 🌹

The process of thought in these days and times is a process which I now discover, has been notoriously given the pseudonym‍ of a certain Shri Googlé !

It used to be ‘when in doubt, shout’ , but then since, the affections have altered and the informant of all possible required information rests peacefully with the Shri G ..

And the gentleman has such a vast sense of obligation that even in the worse case scenarios , unknown, unaltered, by any circumstance, he responds with reason and effect .. when he knows !

When he does not, he has the honesty to say so, in unabashed brazen and audacious verbology .. and even in this unfound word it tells me that it could be an expression in the ‘urban dictionary’ not typically in use ..

SO ..

( many may wonder where this is leading to )

every now and then a reference is desired and at times they belong to a category that may never have a direct meaningful mean .. so what does one do .. ?

we refer to it in any case , and when questioned point towards that emoj’d finger in the other direction .. 👈 / 👉 ..

I tried that, not so very long ago and discovered that the intel quotient in the system is actually prepared for all circumstances .. it can manufacture run it and lock you out if needed ..

Which brought memories of the film ‘2001 Space Odyssey’ and the human manufactured computer system Hal on board .. which actually has been preprogrammed by the human to defy human behaviour or command .. it being the most brilliant moment in the film .. and its death by physically unscrewing his parts is the most poignant moment - the dichotomy of a human, killing another human manufactured human ..

Oh mr Kubrik you are a genius Stan .. in every film you designed, the variety, the innovative condensation, the genre shift in each, has without doubt made you stand out as the ‘greatest cinematic human’ - pardon the pun .. of all time ..

AND ..

the choosing of the name for the on board computer as Hal .. was simply stupendous ..

HAL as in Shakespeare’s Henry .. Henry the V or the VI th in their notoriety .. or was it derived from the French Henri .. often pronounced .. Onree .. and then straightened out to the simpler Henry or nick named Hal ..

Dear O dear ! .. we started with what and have landed up somewhere in the odyssey of unrelated unconcerned mirrored intelligentsia ..

yes I do this at times .. 🤪

heeyyy could you write a fic where Lou and Deb are out somewhere and the crew shows up at there loft but when no ones home they decide (more or less Constance decides) they should go snooping through Lou n debs stuff; an they find the closet full of sex toys 🙈 I mostly just wanna read there reactions :)

“House sitting,” Constance snorted. “Like it’s a kid or something. Next they’ll want us to water their plants.”

“That’s part of the whole house sitting deal,” Nine laughed. “Usually. Doubt Deb can keep a plant alive on a good day.”

“Lou has a garden plot on the roof,” Tammy smirked, laying back against the couch. “But maybe that’s supposed to be a secret. But you’re right about Debbie. If there’s anything potted in this loft, I’d bet you the Toussaint’s worth that it’s plastic. And even then, it probably still looks dead thanks to Deb.”

“What do they even think is gonna happen while they’re not here?” Amita sighed. “Someone’s gonna come to their secret hideout and steal Lou’s vinyl collection or some Fleetwood Mac concert T-shirt?”

“I think they’re just being thoughtful, dear,” Rose smiled, patting Amita’s thigh. “After all, no one here but Tammy is close to responsible. They just know we like staying here is all and wanted to keep the offer standing.”

“Tammy’s not the only responsible one,” Constance rolled her eyes, her expression souring until her eyes seemed to light up suddenly with an idea. “Dude. What do you think their bedroom is like?”

“You’re only proving Tammy’s point,” Amita sighed, sharing a pointed look with the other woman. “Should we order in something? Maybe watch a movie?”

“Come on!” Constance cheered, jumping up. “Don’t you all wanna know? I mean, how many suits does dad really own? How much jewelry do those two have between them? Fuck—what kind of kinky shit do you think they have going on in there?”

“Constance,” Amita practically growled.

“I wanna see some kinky shit,” Nine grinned, slamming her laptop shut.

“You’re all unbelievable,” Tammy exhaled, closing her eyes. “I don’t know why I put up with this. Haven’t you seen their room before? I mean it’s a bed and some night tables and—“

“The world’s largest closet,” Amita sighed dreamily. “I still can’t believe that a custom closet is one of Lou’s smaller gestures when it comes to presents.

“It was as much for herself as it was for Deb,” Tammy grunted. “I’d bet she has more suits than Deb does dresses.”

“One way to find out,” Constance grinned, wagging her eyebrows. “Come on, Tam. Live a little. Let’s go on a treasure hunt!”

“I swear if we find like some little pink bullet vibrator in a night table or whatever I’m out of there.”

“Like they’d only have the world’s tiniest vibrator,” Nine chuckled.

“Like they’d only have one,” Constance cackled, taking a running start towards the stairs as Nine followed close on her tail, the others trailing behind them somewhat curious but still timid.

“Look at the headboard,” Nine whispered as she and Constance shared a high five and a murmured “knew it” that Amita was wildly confused by as Rose shrugged to her in response.

Tammy trailed into their adjoining bathroom, sinking down on the edge of the tub as she pulled open one of the drawers under the sink as she picked up various cosmetics and creams shaking her head at them, and choosing to protect Lou’s reputation by tucking a box of blonde hair dye towards the back of a cabinet before anyone else could find it.

“Just lube in the night stand, Mita,” Nine grinned, snapping at her gum. “No little vibrator. Don’t worry.”

“Tam? This is this closet you’re all so ape shit over?”

“That’s a linen closet, love,” Rose offered, but Constance started laughing almost maniacally as she turned around with a shit-eating grin.

“I mean if y’all want to call this a linen, I guess that works,” Constance grinned, sling shouting black lace towards Rose’s face that Amita blocked before looking down in horror, holding it up in front of her face.

“Is that…”

“Crotchless panties,” Nine smirked. “Nice.”

“That’s no linen closet,” Rose murmured, looking pale as the others stepped closer to Constance, their mouths opening wide in awe. “My god. What are they doing with all that rope?”

“Same shit you do with these,” Nine laughed, holding up a set of leather cuffs as Constance swatted the back of her leg with something, Nine letting out a startled “Ay! The fuck, Con?”

“Not your thing, huh?” Constance laughed, looking at the switch in her hand as Nine picked up a paddle, shaking her head.

“Those kinky fucks,” Nine whispered.

“Hey Mita, found your worst nightmare,” Constance called, rolling open a drawer to reveal a slew of vibrators of varying sizes and colors, one twitching around in the drawer as Constance poked it. “Shit. Two drawers?”

“Oh my god it’s penises!” Amita shrieked, jumping back as Constance wagged a black dildo at her, laughing to the point of tears.

“And that’s just the upstairs collection,” Tammy sighed, the crew looking over to see her painting her toe nails as she balanced on the edge of the tub. “And if that’s the shit that’s still here, I don’t even want to know what they brought with them on their trip.”

Whoopsy daisy I made a Shadow and Bone random thoughts post:

The costumes in this show are impeccable. I was drooling over all the keftas and the ball gowns in 1.05 and the crow outfits. Hell, even the winter-camo outfits that Mal, Mikhael and Dubrov wore in 1.04 were amazing.

Am I the only one who isn’t surprised by the kruge pronounciation? Because I thought it would sound like how English people say Scandinavian words and I wasn’t wrong.

Coming in to this show as someone who had only read the Six of Crows duology, I expected to at least tolerate Malina based on the trailer clips. I kid you not: less than five minutes into the very first episode they owned my ass. That might be a new record for me.

Seriously the friendship? The pining? The finding home in each other and being able to acknowledge their faults and apologize to each other? Both of them having massive “fight me” energy and protecting each other? Hugs?? Why am I surprised that I ship this?

Some of those scene transitions/flashback edits were so good! Like I know they repeated that meadow scene a lot throughout the season, but the cuts from kid-Mal looking at the rabbit to grown up Mal psyching himself up for the fist fight? Poetic cinema.

The Darkling was horrible and I love it. He wasn’t a carbon copy villain, nor did his complexity redeem him. He was a perfectly complex and understandable monster and I am living for it. I have not been so happy to despise a character in ages and I genuinely bow in gratitude to both the writers and Ben Barnes, because I finally got to enjoy watching a character I did not for one second root for ( #writevillainswellagain)

Look I already loved Jesper in the book but his on-screen translation elevated him from a fave to the fave. I was worried that they would push him into a comedic relief-role, but he got to keep both his heart, his depth, and his humour. Kit Young did an amazing job bringing what was already a great character on page to an even greater character on screen and I once again applaud.

Am I a bit bitter that the casting had some interesting choices for certain roles (aka hiring light skin and mid-size actors for explicitly darker skin and plus-size roles)? Kind of. Do I think there are important discussions worth having about this? Yup. Do I also think that every actor hired for Shadow and Bone did an amazing job and deserve zero hate and massive amounts of love? Also yes.

I had Alexei for one episode and one episode only, and I still miss that poor sucker. This show did a surprisingly good job with making me care about a massive amount of characters considering the screen time they had and the amount of episodes this season had. Good job.

For some reason I expected Inej to be a lot more brooding based on how I perceived her in the books but I love what Amita Suman did with her. Her translation completely recontextualised everything I remember from the books and just brought this truly fresh character to life. Assassin with a conscience indeed.

Also I did love the Kaz we got in this season but I can barely contain myself as I wait for season 2 to be made and for a certain flashback to take place because that moment in the book was visceral and it stayed with me for a long time and I knew before the show announcement that this flashback could become a television moment.

Speaking of Kaz the crows were so chaotic and messy and I’m here for it. Their interactions with each other and their improvised back-up plans were everything. I somehow didn’t expect the crows to become the comedic relief of the season but it honestly makes so much sense.

A couple episodes in I still didn’t get the Zoya hype (remember I haven’t read the books) but was a massive Genya fan. By the end of the season I was like “oh both of these girls are getting redemption arcs and I am here for it”.

Speaking of redemption I still don’t like Matthias. I’m sorry but I just don’t. I get that he is important to many and that they like his relationship with Nina, but I just don’t have the patience for him and feel like Nina can do better. I still want him to get a redemption... but maybe not through a romance with the grisha woman he repeatedly slutshames, is bigoted towards and chokes at least once (twice if that SoC scene from book 1 happens). That being said this is just how I see him, so feel what ever you feel about him and ship to your heart’s content!

Alina’s journey through this season made complete sense to me. It hurt to see certain things, but they were necessary in my eyes. Seeing her go from this essentially insecure but brave girl to a manipulated pawn to an even stronger and more self reliant girl in spite of everything was amazing. It did feel like a well-written hero’s journey and I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes next.

Apparently a lot of book-readers don’t like Mal (and I am not here to change anyone’s mind about that) but the Mal I saw on the show was amazing. I actually kind of wish we had seen more of who he was outside of his relationship to Alina (f.ex. other flashbacks than the meadow, maybe something about any of his missions while separated from Alina pre-show), but I also loved what we got of him with Alina. We still got to see a guy who was brave, stubborn, flirtatious, a bit judgemental but with a strong sense of humour, and a lot of loyalty (to Alina but also to his friends). I can hardly wait to see what’s next for him.

Milo the goat. Where do I even begin. Not only did we get that Jesper-scene, but their farewell actually became a Chekhov’s gun for Mal in 1.07? Milo is the true hero of the season.

Speaking of 1.07 I loved the tent scene between Alina and the Darkling. She both got to be realistic about her feelings for the Darkling and stand up for herself and for others and call him out. The way I interpret the Darkling, he is the kind of villain who creates a saviour narrative around himself but cares more about power than anything else. He’ll say he’s doing everything to protect his people but is the first to kill the very people he claims to love. And Alina’s tent-speech really hammered that in for me.

I adore Baghra. Is she morally dubious? Yes. Was she incredibly mean to Alina during training to the point where it might have been excessive? Yes. Did she not take any of the Darkling’s bullshit and act as the proper mentor for Alina when the Darkling had said that he was going to train her? Yes. Am I kind of a Baghra stan now? I mean maybe.

The antler-collar was so evil and gross but from a visually narrative stand point it was perfect.

Also I still have no idea who David is but I want redemption for him too. Honestly I feel like half the supporting cast is gearing up for redemption arcs next season and I am excited for most of them.

Nina’s reaction when she hears Kaz on the boat? Priceless. Actually the whole boat scene from when she goes up on deck again to the cut back to the fold was priceless.

That being said the final scene had me even more ready for season 2.

Jesper kind of gave me messy period-fantasy James Bond? Does that make sense?

And Mal kind of gave me Lois Lane energy? As in he’s the mortal love interest that many assume is the hero/heroine’s weakness but actually functions as their emotional strength and inspiration? Am I reaching here or am I getting somewhere?

Mikhael and Dubrov. What a duo. Absolute madlads.

Also I’d like to see more Nadia if that is possible? Because the few scenes we had of her had me intrigued but then she sort of disappeared? Is she going to be important or was she just more of a temporary supporting character?

I entered this show a casual Six of Crows fan with mild interest in Kanej and I finished this season a mess. A mess who ships Kanej and Malina and Genya with that David guy even though they had about 30 seconds of screentime together and Zoya with redemption and Jesper with main-character status (hey we’re not getting Wylan until season 2 at least) and kind of those two Ravkan army guys and Nina with anyone else and Matthias with a better redemption storyline and the Darkling with karma! Also, a mess with a whole new set of comfort characters!

i have been forced encouraged to make this by @cherrybutchh so,,,,,

bumbleby ocean's 8 AU:

yang as lou, blake as debbie; they were partners for years, running small jobs around NYC and making a decent living for themselves.... until blake meets adam

she starts pulling increasingly risky jobs with him until he screws her over one day and gets her thrown in jail. she and yang haven't spoken in months when all this goes down, but yang still keeps tabs and is lost and heartbroken when she finds out

they slowly come back into contact while blake's in prison, exchanging letters and then eventually phonecalls. yang doesn't trust the CO's enough to visit in person, or at least that's what she tells blake. in reality, she just isn't sure if she can face her quite yet

while blake is inside, she starts to plan. and plan. and plan. by the time she gets out she's nailed down what might be the biggest museum heist in history

they assemble their team as follows:

weiss is tammy: the fence, the supplier, the one who comes from old money and even older connections and can get her hands on just about anything

emerald is constance: the pickpocket, the thief, aloof and wary but in yang's trusted inner circle she developed during blake's time inside

ruby is nine ball: the hacker, the tech wizard; yang's sister and the only one yang (and blake, to be fair) would trust with this level of responsibility

penny is rose: the scatterbrained designer who is probably way too nice for this line of work, but honestly, she's just excited to have a new group of friends

ilia is amita: she runs her parents' jewelry shop now that they've both passed and has an, ahem, history with blake. what this history entails is up to you (but to be fair, amita and debbie probably hooked up at least once in the actual movie)

anyways, once the team is assembled blake reveals the big plan. in 6 weeks, the met will be holding their "relics of the gods" exhibit and blake wants to steal the relic of choice; it's a crown, and they need to get it on someone's head so that they can then, you know, get it off and steal it and whatnot

blah blah blah a bunch of planning i haven't fleshed out yet but they choose their wearer: hollywood starlet pyrrha nikos. she'll be hosting the gala and is the perfect level of importance to get to actually wear the crown

blake intends to pin it on adam. yang is furious. she's convinced if he gets his claws back into her, she'll leave again. and yang just can't handle that. they have a big argument that culminates in blake saying "i made the mistake of leaving you once and it burned me. i'm not going to be doing that again. not to you. not ever" and then they kiss (which is what should have happened during the beach argument in the movie but 🤷)

the heist goes off without a hitch, they all wear great outfits and surprise! blake and yang stole ALL the relics, not just the crown. adam gets thrown in jail for it, everyone is filthy rich, pyrrha is a part of the squad too now and is enamoured with weiss who is, once again, in over her head

yang plans on doing the same coastal bike trip lou does in the movie except in this world, blake comes with her. "never leaving again. that's what you said right? then hop on gorgeous and let's go blow some of our now insane amounts of money"

they never have to pull another heist again if they don't want to and yang would be content with living out their days as two rich old women with maybe some cats, even a dog if she can get blake to agree. they're professional criminals though, blake especially, and yang knows if blake ever gets the itch again, she'll be right there with her

oh EDIT: they’re investigated by the junior detectives! sun and neptune are the funky little insurance investigator duo and are both trying hard and not trying at all to solve this crime

wow this was,,,,, longer than i thought it would be yikes! i just really love this idea and needed it written down SOMEWHERE, so here you go friends. ocean's 8 is an excellent movie and the potential for yang in suits is off the charts with this AU <3

#bumbleby ocean's 8 AU #should probably start that tag even tho i will likely never write this #bumbleby #rwby #dumb words i wrote
