chimaera & the wolf: snippet from the sirius oneshot
Something wakes him. It’s not a soft, gradual rise into wakefulness like a gentle drag to shore; one moment he’s asleep, and the next he’s wide awake. It’s unsettling.
The first few seconds of consciousness seize him by the throat and drag him forcefully back to when he was a boy, the shadows of his Camden bedroom twisting with the shadows of his memory. Sirius stares up at the ceiling with unseeing eyes, heart thumping in his chest as he fights to keep his breathing steady, terror slipping up the back of his neck.
His fear tastes like the blood of a bitten tongue, like things that go bump in the night – in the darkest dead of night because only cowards are scared of the dark and there are no cowards in Grimmauld Place. There is no light in Grimmauld Place.
Effy had once told him that experiencing fear isn’t cowardice, facing it is strength. And what is strength if not the knowledge that no matter what you did – six years old and tearing your sleeve on a nail in the floor of the attic you were told to stay out of; eight years old and holding a muggle boy’s hand as you run through the park; eleven years old and too brave, too courageous, too different to them – it would always be wrong, and wrongness that is yours can never be forgiven. What is strength if not knowing that the right thing will always be deemed wrong, and doing it anyway?
But as he lies there, disoriented by the sudden and inexplicable flood of adrenaline and the ice cold grip of panic in his chest, Sirius doesn’t feel strength.
It’s hard to remember Effy’s words when you can’t forget the fact that she’s dead.
#chimaera & the wolf#sirius black#setting the scene guys this oneshot is nothing but ANGST#i thought i'd give you a snippet because i was planning to post it at the weekend and i didn't get a chance#this moving house experience has been hell on earth i can't even begin to describe#so have a lil snippet baby#i will finish and post this weekend i promise x#it's gonna be way longer than i thought#over 5k easily#under 10k though or i'll jump#this boy has so much ANGUISH#i'm gonna give you another perspective from the fight#i want to make you CONFLICTED#anyway#poor sirius#i have only just clocked i spell effy with a y#skins supremacy#i was literally talking about effy stonem with catie today#what are the chances

disciple luo binghe, running errands for his shizun one day, somehow manages to be in the exact wrong (right) place at the exact wrong (right) time and catches shang qinghua meeting with mobei jun
in order to keep luo binghe from tattling right away, shang qinghua dissembles in a panic and claims that his clandestine meetings with mobei jun are happening because they're lovers and definitely not because shang qinghua is betraying the sect and handing their secrets over to demons in order to save his own hide. when that almost doesn't work, he also tells luo binghe that he knows he's part demon, and that if luo binghe rats him out then shang qinghua will take him down with him. mutually assured destruction
it works, and even though luo binghe threatens him quite a bit (jeez kid calm down, you might be the almighty protagonist but also you're like sixteen) he agrees to keep shang qinghua's fraternizing a secret. but if ANYTHING BAD should happen to the sect or especially to luo binghe's shizun because of this, luo binghe will take shang qinghua down even if it does ruin his life too
shang qinghua, now sweating even more bullets about the impending immortal alliance conference: cool! cool cool cool sounds great cool yeah
so shang qinghua can add "being blackmailed by the punk ass brat I sort of created" to his list of stress-inducing woes. which gets even worse when luo binghe keeps somehow sensing if mobei jun is around for more than a couple hours and showing up, and picking fights with him?? kind of??
wtf has the protagonist been taking tips from liu qingge or something...?
shang qinghua feels like he's gonna have a heart attack when mobei jun just snorts and tosses luo binghe by the scruff like he's an annoying yappy dog
mobei jun actually knows what's up though. teenage half-demon who has never been around his own kind has become spoiled by the lack of competition on this front, and now his hackles are all up because he wants to claim the whole mountain range as his territory, and his instincts are screaming at him to challenge mobei jun about it so that they can decide who is actually top dog. since mobei jun could easily kill him, especially with his blood sealed, and has been clawing rocks and pissing on trees along the borders of an ding peak since before luo binghe was born, he's clearly got seniority here
and since qinghua doesn't want mobei jun to just kill the little shit (fair enough -- that sealed bloodline does look kind of interesting) that means it's up to mobei jun to teach him how to do things like interact with other demons without making a complete fool of himself. lesson one: what to do when you challenge someone out of your league and they win, assuming they don't just kill you
so luo binghe reluctantly gains another demon tutor
meng mo actually approves. he's been out of the loop on demon high society for a long time, and has lacked a body for long enough too that he's forgotten a lot of the particulars of socializing. it'll be good for luo binghe to pick up some manners that aren't just silly human tea ceremonies and things. maybe he'll start addressing meng mo more respectfully for a change!
(lol no)
luo binghe is partly like "I don't need to learn demon social skills since I'm spending the rest of my life as a disciple of qing jing peak" but partly like, well, if shizun knew about this and didn't freak out about it, he'd probably say that knowledge is power and learning how to handle politics and diplomacy of all kinds is important. and despite himself luo binghe is also interested, because this is a whole perspective on his own nature that he's never really gotten advice about
also, mobei jun is the lover of shang qinghua? mobei jun is a demon who successfully seduced a cang qiong peak lord? does he have any advice about that?
(he does -- all of it very bad)
anyway all of this sort of fucks up the immortal alliance conference developments really good, so the system kind of gives up and settles on some other big transformative achievements that luo binghe has to complete in order to be suitably heroic
but shen qingqiu has no idea and so the reprieve just seems to come out of nowhere until several years later, when he walks in on luo binghe with his claws out and huadian gleaming in the company the demon king of the northern desert, the two of them playing weiqi or something while they wait for shang qinghua to get back from some random logistics crisis he had to rush off to
shen qingqiu: ...?!?
luo binghe, panicking: wait shizun I can explain it's not what it looks like SHIZUN I SWEAR I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU PLEASE DON'T BE MAD--!
shen qingqiu: all this time I thought you were sneaking out to meet a girl, and this was what you were doing instead?!
luo binghe: WHAT?? shizun no I'd never do that I swear I don't even like girls!
shen qingqiu: that's not -- wait what do you mean you don't even like girls?!
mobei jun, unperturbed and still focused on the weiqi board: he's gay
#svsss#scum villain's self saving system#bingqiu#moshang#most anticlimactic reveal of all time#luo binghe had several plans for how to do it but he kept chickening out at the last minute#so now he's gonna get all his secrets randomly outed by a bored mobei jun who is mad at losing a board game#while sqq's brain keeps stopping and restarting trying to figure out what to freak out about first#lbh: it's the demon thing oh no he's upset about the demon thing#sqq: already knew the demon thing and is circling the drain around 'gay' and 'mobei jun is here' instead#sqq: wait is the girl he's been meeting MOBEI JUN???

The Moon Boys as Dads
꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦
Warnings: The moon boys being girl dads and mentions of Jake teaching your kid how to fight a bitch
Author’s Snip: This would happen eventually. It's been bubbling in my mind since I've started writing for Moon Knight. It's inevitable, everyone in this fandom wants to have their babies.
Notes: I genuinely think that Jake's part is the only one that would be troubling but let's face it. If Jake had a kid, especially a daughter, he's going to teach her how to fight and send the to the ER or to the scale
I’ll shut up now. Enjoy! And don’t be afraid to request.
꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦
Okay. First thing I need to make straight. I understand that the idea of them having a son is deep. Have it that it heals some of that inner child in Marc and thus the rest of them. And I think that idea is lovely. Honestly can't get enough of it, gets me in the bullseye of my feels
But these men are such girl dads, all three of them
So we're gonna go slightly off of that
Steven Grant
Steven strikes me as the type of guy who just fits into the family man role so well
Absolute proud stay at home dad who has a million photos of all of his kids energy.
Yep, that's right, kids, plural, he wants a bunch of them
He understands and respects if you want just one or two but... like...
He's so good with kids, come on, episode one where he was talking with the little girl??? You can't tell he's not great with kids. He can handle a gaggle of kids if you'd be okay with having a bunch with him.
"One for each of the us" is a joke he'd make
But let's go with the perspective that you have a daughter with him
Already he's just obsessed with her as soon as he gets to hold her
Kids are very chatty, which is great because Steven's chatty and also listens, so if your daughter is talking about her day at school then he listens and nods along.
He'd also do this with her as a baby when all she could do was babble. He'd just listen to it and say "And then what?"
Steven, although he can be quite sassy, is naturally very polite and I'm pretty sure that rubs off on your daughter. He teaches her proper manners like saying "please", "thank you", and "excuse me"
Teaches her about Egyptology because of course he does, you think he's not going to give her those kids books about Egypt? You think the egyptology nerd isn't going to make his kid an egyptology nerd?
If she takes on another interests that's fine too but you think you aren't going to have one more dork in your house?
He praises her all the time for being interested in so many things.
Not to make him sound like one of those dads but he's glad that his kid reads books
Marc Spector
I'll save you what you've heard before. Marc is unsure, Marc is worried that he's gonna fuck up, Gods have mercy on Marc, blah blah blah
And sure I'll go in on it a little bit too
Marc is of course worried about how well he'd do at parenting since he still has some emotional and mental scars that haven't fully been patched up or wounds he's too scared to lick
But hey, he knows what not to do, and that's at least something
He might helicopter parent a little, maybe even a lot, when your daughter is little, especially if she gets her adventurous side early and it's really strong
You and the boys might have to remind him that she's a kid, she's gonna want to navigate and explore what's around her and maybe she'll do something dumb and get hurt a bit
As long as she knows what's dangerous and what's gonna earn her a band-aid
Marc's good when she's a kid but I feel like he just feels more comfortable when she's older, like teenager age
I actually feel like he'd be one of those dads who gets it in his kids head that they can still be a teenager and do teenager things but don't get into any trouble or do something really bad
"Focus on school and stay away from those groups" type of dad that really just means "Don't get Fs in class and don't get arrested."
He's letting her make mistakes and grow from it but he's not gonna baby her either
Marc won't entirely be the "No boys allowed" type of dad either. But if she brings a boy home for any reason, even if the boy's just a classmate that she's doing a project with, then he's telling her that the door stays open till he leaves or they do the project and research in living room or whatever
He's so proud of her too. He makes sure she knows just how loved she is and that he will always be there
Marc actually wants to be the type of parent where whenever his daughter gets in trouble or make a mistake that she thinks "I need to call my dad." instead of "My dad's going to kill me."
Jake Lockley
Jake would have said he wanted a boy but that's a lie he wants a girl first
I can see both Marc and Jake not really being the types to keep their kid in gender roles, neither is Steven if his daughter wants to do things that are considered masculine or boyish then he won't stop her he just sort of defaults to thinking that she'd want to do girly things, but Jake is the type of dad that wouldn't care if he has a daughter he's gonna teach her how to stuff and to take shit from no one
She's going to be a spitfire if Jake's her daddy, that's for sure. A real Buttercup.
She once got in trouble for fighting a boy in her grade because he was making fun of her and he scolded her when you were around but he was secretly so proud
When she's older he teaches her how to fight people and defend herself, I mean he already told her to do that when she was younger but back then it was kick, bite, and scream. When she's a teen it's teaching her how to right and left hook and disorientate
Fuck, she's probably good with a knife too
Jake knows that your daughter can handle herself pretty well but he's still going to be protective over her
If she has a relationship and they put their hands on her that person's just straight up dead
She might know how to aim for the vitals and wash blood off her clothes but she's still his little princess

Thinking again of Buck as the person who empowers Eddie. The one who hears that there's a Certain Way to do something, and instead looks at it from another perspective and encourages Eddie to try Another Way.
Like in 3x12 Fools, where Ana says Chris should learn to pivot and do something else when he reaches a barrier and instead Buck said, well, hey, maybe we could try to fulfill Chris's desires in an accessible way instead of telling him to just pick something else. Buck showing Eddie this allows Eddie to once again provide his son with a joyous and fulfilling life.
In 2x04 Stuck, when instead of thinking "huh, maybe I can set Eddie up on a date with a woman and then SHE can take care of Chris while Eddie works and he can have a gf at the same time" decides he can introduce Eddie to someone who can help him navigate his situation, advise and point him in the right direction, watch Chris and be a series-long supporter and empowering Eddie to be the person he wants to be which is a present and active father to Chris.
In 5x01 Panic, Buck discovers Eddie's panic attacks and learns the reason, and instead of just being a generally supportive friend and saying "who knows, maybe you just need more time and your relationship with Ana will deepen" he says if you don't want to be with her, you can't stick it out, that's not fair to Ana or Eddie. He gives Eddie permission to give up, without judgement, to let go of An Expectation that he's been told he should have/do/be, when it isn't actually bringing happiness to his life but is actively bringing him pain.
In 5x14 Dumb Luck, when Eddie is arguably at the lowest we've ever seen him, instead of letting Eddie wallow and continue his downward spiral of believing that nothing he does to save anybody will ever be worth it in the end, Buck shows him a different perspective, of how saving people is worth it because sometimes you are the one thing that sets their life on a better path.
Something about how Buck has always represented the Unconventional and Alternate and Illuminating and Better path for Eddie, the path that brings relief, the path that brings support, the path that brings trust, the path that reveals truth, the path that brings empowerment, the path that brings partnership.
And you're gonna sit here and tell me that Eddie belongs with some rando? Nuh uh. Until the show provides me one (1) fucking example of a person who can be everything for Eddie that I just encapsulated, I'm never not believing that Eddie belongs 100% with Buck. Fight me.

triple checks it's the right blog this time...
so I'm having a p shitty week and I'm gonna cope by talking abt my meta for solas, mostly in terms of his personality and behavior. I have a LOT of meta abt his past and nature and future but that's... another post, lmao
some of his key and/or most interesting characteristics:
kind
selfish
reserved
arrogant
empathetic
detached
now, let's dig into these
kind: he clearly and consistently wants people to be happy or to alleviate their suffering. he's glad the inquisition helps refugees, he's glad (dialogue, not approval iirc) when you take the time to find the apostate supply caches in the hinterlands, he makes a point of connecting with every single companion, even ones who regularly degrade him. and in trespasser, he goes to extreme lengths to keep southern thedas from falling to the qun, because he wants the people - those he knows and those he doesn't - to be happy and at relative peace.
this is one of the most remarkable things he does imo, bc if he'd just let the situation develop, he'd have an absolutely clear path to achieving his goals. yes, he'd need to get the anchor another way, but that's hardly impossible. what matters is that by stopping the war, he gives the inquisition/inquisitor clearance to pursue him without distraction, while also arguably giving the qunari the ability to focus on strengthening the veil, bc i cant imagine the viddasala and her people were the only ones of all qunari to have/know of that goal
selfish: if romancing lavellan, he understands one aspect of his selfishness, because it's a relationship he should have shut down HARD. but his feelings are real... and he selfishly gives in to them, even knowing he'll break their heart. he does try to pull away, he does eventually break up with lavellan, but by then the damage is done. even the offer to remove their vallaslin is selfish in its way - he's trying to give them a piece of the truth, but instead delivers a cruelty and leaves them whether they accept or deny his offer.
but he's selfish in another important way, too: he's convinced of his own perspective. he thinks bc he literally knows more (which, yeah, tbf he does), that his pov holds more weight. he's willing to change the world bc of his guilt about it ofc, but also bc he's - selfishly, self-centered - convinced that he's RIGHT to do so. he's not traditionally selfish - in many ways he's selfless, overwhelmingly willing to sacrifice all his own chances at happiness and peace in order to restore the world - but his selfishness (which ties in with his arrogance) is shown in his self-conviction.
he makes excuses, but honestly? he could have told the inquisitor who and what he was. he could have done that! he could ask for help reconnecting the fade with the waking world. dreadwolf could be about the inquisition gathering together myriad experts and looking for ways to do it that aren't destructive. but he's so assured that his path is the right one, the only one.
and it's... a complicated selfishness, too, because part of it is that he feels like he deserves to be punished. he thinks he needs to walk this path alone not bc the inquisitor is incapable, but because 1) He Knows What's Right, and 2) He Deserves To Suffer (to alleviate his guilt about his "sins" - which is selfish in a complicated and roundabout way)
reserved: the superficial aspect of this is obvious: he's lying about his identity. but he's also reserved as part of his core character - according to him, he used to be reckless, quick to fight. I think his reserve is something he grew into, a willingness to play the long game, an understanding that information given can never be taken away. it leads to other things - a hesitance to trust, for example - but it's just a part of him now. I think even if he found someone to be 100% open with, he'd STILL be reserved by nature
arrogant: my man is an arrogant ass, no denying it. ofc he knows so much more about history than those around him, but he's also so willing to fight about it, to condescend, to trivialize. when he realizes he has a genuinely receptive audience his tone changes, so I think a lot of this stems from defensiveness and a deep familiarity with needing to justify his every expressed opinion, but... he's still an ass. his conversation with a dalish inquisitor at haven? yikes.
he's also regularly convinced that his interpretations are the correct ones. like wrt my recent post about the mages after Faded For Her, I have to assume that he thinks the inquisitor sparing them demonstrates disdain for the inherent value of spirits and their sentience, even if the real reason is a lot more complicated. he jumps to conclusions and states them like facts and it takes a lot for him to begin to deconstruct them
empathetic: this ties in with his kindness ofc, but its worth a unique mention. he is incredibly empathetic. he cares about what happens to people, to spirits, even to your enemies in a way - he talks with bull about how he doesn't like to relish his victories in combat because the people he kills could have been something else, someone else. he cares about wolves (I WONDER WHY... but also like, him being fen'harel doesn't mean he HAS to care about wolves, but he does, bc he cares about animals, too), he cares about the farmers being attacked by wolves, he cares about the refugees, he's understanding towards speaker anais and the cult that grew up around the rifts... he not only cares, he understands where people are coming from, regardless of who they are or how they behave
detached: this one lessens somewhat over the course of the game, but he's deeply, fundamentally detached to the world he woke up in and the people who inhabit it. its a little ironic when u look at his kindness and empathy, but it doesn't negate his detachment. i tend to think of him as seeing everything through a fog, feeling like he's not really there at least as much as he feels like everyone else is not really there.
not joking or exaggerating, he must have such terrible trouble with disassociation/derealization. ive seen people bring up excellent points wrt this that i dont feel a need to rehash, but suffice to say: while he still cares, everything he experiences is at a remove. this stems from shock, trauma, guilt, fear, and profound culture shock.
#solas#solas dragon age#this is fine to rb/comment on#but if ur an ass to me or abt him#im gonna block u bc im p sick of it#he does bad things and has bad aspects - but that makes him an interesting and dynamic character#and a good antagonist#i'd say sry for the wall of text but a) im not and b) it's why i made this blog :)#and when i say dont be an ass abt him#i dont mean u cant disagree with me or dislike him#meta#broodmeta

do you ever think about the wheel of time season two from elayne's perspective
like: finally arrive at college!!! meet your neighbour in residence, accidentally microaggress against her, but you're totally gonna be buds!
you brought too much dorm furniture so the RA says she's gonna beat you later, but you're like 'k, whatever, let's get drunk with my new bestie, college LYF!'
turns out that same night your new BFF's BFF disappeared during a really intense exam, presumed dead. you decide to have a sleepover to console her, and get woken up by the totally-dead girl appearing out of nowhere, half naked, covered in blood, and crying. you're like 'okay so i'll just put these pillows away I guess?'
then suddenly your friends are like 'brb we gotta go bail our friend out of jail' and you're like 'shit i'm coming too' and then your prof shows up and knocks you all out, and tries to sell you all into slavery?
so you and your BFF's BFF escape, but your BFF gets captured, and you're trying to rescue her but BFFsBFF keeps giving major attitude, and then you run into a DIFFERENT prof from another department, who tries to help you out then immediately gets kidnapped as well. multiple people die. it's super intense.
then you've got a great escape plan all figured out, except like three different groups of people invade the city, and you get SHOT, and then you eventually make it to help your BFF, only she's already freed herself???
and there's some kind of intense situation going on with your BFF's ex (presumed dead), your BFF's dirtbag highschool classmate, the guy who had a crush on your BFF, some random magic ghosts, and Satan's righthand man?
so anyway you apply first aid and then your BFF's not-dead-i-guess ex nukes Satan's lieutenant, and there's this giant fireworks thing happening, and you think maybe your BFF's ex is the second coming of Jesus? he's cute tho
so the fighting dies down, and you're trying very badly to process all that while still bleeding from your leg
and then your aunt shows up?!?

King-Ohger Character Song memo
link to streaming
Gira - Kind King
oooh rock! something Taisei himself likes? (Masashi mentioned they quickly became friends because they have football and rock bands in common)
the opening electric tunes is a consistent Dug motif
His voice is SO cute and the mismatch with the instrumetns XD
I like 'i gotta we gotta' part. catchy kinda slogan-y like self pep talk
Gira will stand up to unjustice and do it himself, but with the bonds with his friends too 😭😭
the longer I listen to it the less it sounds like Taisei?? and closer to sports anime freshman protag. I look forward to listening its live version.
Overall the song is very motivating and cheerful, let's just say it does sound like something Gira could write himself.
there's no beating INFERNO, but the lyrics is direct and cute, very fitting for Gira's character.
You get the chara song is how the character wants to express themselves and the image song is who they are from an outside perspective.
Yanma - Teppen Online
hmmm I'm surprised by the chorus? (+ve)
musically I don't find much surprise with this one but I like the chorus. Try & Fight and I'm still alive were just too impactful.
no wait it sounds like the most we learn about Prez?
In the lyrics he said, "some things don't need to be said (out loud)" and yeah, he's a bit shy in expressing affection huh? Or say, he believes in action more than words and he's the traditional manly type that's like, "hing1 dai6, sum ziu3 lah"
Himeno - Golden Garden
the "I wish" song in musicals
That's Erica's voice???
'K I can see the second verse as Hime singing to Rita.
ah no bridge (I think none of them have bridge? :(
A very beautiful song. Gives me a 2000s shojo amime ED vibe.
Rita - Moffun's Song
Yeah no, I don't like Rita's stuck being a Moffun fan in their character song. Can't say I'm more impressed by the full version as a Yuzuki fan either
The short version impressed me by showing Yuzuki's range in just under a minute. The high note is moved to the very end of the song from verse 2
Some rationalize it as Rita themself choosing to use this version to represent themself and I can see the reasoning behind Rita's caring interior should've be apparent by now and you have the contrast with Ignorantia but UGH I want the Chief Justice actually singing about their struggle and duty and YOU KNOW MAYBE TOUCH ON THEIR CONNECTION WITH GOKKAN????? IN HIRAKAWA'S LOW IKEMEN VOICE???
On the other hand did we ever get an explanation of why Rita likes Moffun in the first place? We know it's not some tragic backstory and honestly, they could've like it simply because it's cute. And yes, I can infer why someone like Rita would like something like Moffun but hnnnnn it's not canon
but another contradiction I'm facing is actually I was glad to see an adult character who's not afraid of showing their otaku passionate side, but Rita's not fully committed to that...
Kaguragi - 仰天珍道中
hohoho I so look forward to Kaku-san's singing.
oh my god that's really good???
i can see him on a showa TV show in a white suit
this is gonna be a brainworm
it's much faster than I expected too.
there's lore in this lyrics… (looks up japanese dictionary)
Jeramie - 線上のTrickster
Masashi's in the "singing voice close to speaking voice" group.
Jeramie, you're not beating the Noel allegations
has some early 2000s J-rock vibes I guess?
It's not a bad song ay any rate but again (like the perfume) doesn't feel very Jeramie to me?? Maybe I've been paying too little attention to him my interpretation deviation from official's for the second time?
(I like The Prophet better but maybe this will warm up to me)

Drinking together
Warnings: swearing, sex
Some kinky shit
Y/n's POV
I'm at the bar, drinking with some guy that I've never met before. He seems nice, but I'm keeping my distance. You know...except for accepting drinks from him.
But it's ok. I'm watching the bar tender make the drinks. This guy doesn't even touch them. He just asks me what I want, and tells the bar tender. He doesn't seem that bad. Maybe he just needed a drinking buddy.
As far as I know, he's here by himself. Maybe he just needed somebody to sit and drink with him. Maybe I needed the same. It's been a long week.
Guy: So, what brings a chick like you to a place like this?
We've been talking, but he hasn't asked me anything personal yet. But I don't know if I count that as a personal question.
Y/n: Long week. You?
Guy: Weird brother.
Y/n: You got one of those, too? I'm glad I'm not alone.
Guy: Mine has a drinking problem. What's wrong with yours?
(This is placed in Sam's demon blood era)
Y/n: Mine stole my boyfriend. I never had a problem with him being gay, until then.
I didn't think that would make him spit his drink out, in a fit of laughter. Maybe it's funny from somebody else's perspective. But it still hurts me.
Y/n: Dude.
Guy: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
He finishes laughing.
Guy: I really needed that laugh. I'm sorry about your boyfriend, though.
Y/n: It's ok. I didn't think we were gonna work out anyway.
Guy: That sucks. I'm Dean, by the way.
Y/n: I'm Y/n. You can call me Y/n/n.
Dean: It's nice to meet you, Y/n/n. You want another drink?
Y/n: I've actually had enough for the night. I should go home and check on my cat.
Dean: It was nice talking to you. I hope these you around, before I leave town.
Damn. I meet a cool guy, and he's about to leave town? Just my luck.
Y/n: I hope to see you, too. Later, Dean.
He nods and I start leaving. Of course, a guy starts following me to the door. And no, it isn't Dean. I wish it was, but it's not. It's some dork, who's mother obviously never taught him personal space. I try to ignore him, and keep walking, but he eventually grabs my shoulder, causing me turn around to face him.
Y/n: Can I help you?
Guy: Give me your number.
Oh he's drunk. Reeeeeealy drunk.
Y/n: No. You're drunk. You should go.
Guy: Or maybe you could give me your-
Dean: Or maybe you could leave her alone. She already said no. So get lost.
Guy: Damn. You could've told me you had a boyfriend.
He huffs and walks away. He might've been a dork, but he was a really big dork. I'm glad Dean was here when he was. I probably wouldn't have been able to fight that other guy off.
Y/n: Thank you.
Dean: Don't worry about it. I forgot to give you my number.
He hands me a piece of paper, with his number on it. Awesome. I got the cool guy's number. Maybe my night's actually gonna go somewhere good.
Y/n: Thanks. I was wondering how I'd find you again.
Dean: You got a ride?
Y/n: No. I was just gonna call a cab.
Dean: Or I can give you a ride. My car's outside.
Y/n: I spent all night with you. I think I trust you enough to give me a ride.
I let him take me home, and invite him inside. One thing leads to another, and now we're in my bedroom, where he's letting me do whatever I want to him. Of course, there are some things that I still ask permission to do. Like putting his dick inside me.
Y/n: Can I?
Dean: Whatever you want.
Y/n: I'll take that as a yes.
I put it in me, and start riding him. I'm not used to being the dominant one. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. The guy is always on top of me. Not the other way around. But I guess there's a first time for everything.
This actually isn't that bad. Being dominant for once. I'm riding him, and he's moaning my name. I'm hitting just the right spot with his dick, causing myself to moan his name.
Y/n: Fuck, Dean.
Dean: You're doing great. Riding me like a champ.
He might be the sub in this, but he still talks like a dom. Maybe he's not used to his role in this, either.
Y/n: Oh fuck. I'm gonna-
Dean: Cum for me, Baby.
He sure does have a way with words. A way that makes me cum. He pulls himself out of me, and cums on my bedsheet.
Dean: You lay down, I'll clean this up.
He gets up from where he was laying. He leaves the room for a second, going in to my bathroom, and coming back with a wet towel. He cleans me off, and wipes off the sheet as best as he can. Then he lays down with me, holding me in his arms.
Don't let strangers take you home from the bar. But Dean's a good stranger. I'm glad I let him take me home.
Dean: You ready for round two?
Y/n: Fuck yeah, I'm ready for round two.
Mr. Mittens: Meow?
Y/n: After I feed my cat and close the door.

What are Alastor's plans for Charlie exacly?
How it started
How's it going? Is it genuine? The hole fandom is discussing that question.
Let's be real, fandom really wishes it's genuine <3<3 I do too. But sadly, it just doesn't look that way. ˙◠˙ There are phew good analysis of Alastor manipulative behaviour thruout the show. But does it mean Alastor will betray Charlie and become the full blown villain in the future? Or manipulate her into givining up her soul for something and then the heroes will have to figure out the way to free her for her deal?
I propose another forecast. Depending on the perspective, it may be better or actually worse.
We know Charlie isn't dumb around Alastor. Neither in Pilot, where she openly rejected the idea of having a deal with him, but even in episode 7, when she makes a deal, I feel people are not giving her enough credit. She not only backs off despite being desperate, but she even pushes back and negotiates for herself, making it so her favour is not going to be about hurting anyone. I'm not saying she isn't warming up to Alastor from the first time she met him or that even with "You harm noone" rule on Alastor's favour it can't turn out horribly wrong, but if Alastor aims at getting her soul, he will have a hard nut to crack. And his acions don't seem to aim at it as much.
"She's filled with potential that I can guide,
I concurr, stick with her, you'll be in on the winning side"
We know those lines from Alastor and Rosie, right after, with help of those two Charlie managed to inspire the army of cannibals to fight angels. ANGELS. Right until now it wasn't even really known angels can be killed/hurt, Charlie doesn't even know how to do it, yet she manages to make an army on the premise they gonna win with angelic army. She really rolled nat20 on inspiration with Alastor's help.
"She's bound to pass the test as princess of hell"
Alastor constantly inspire Charlie and helps her in her projects. Vaggie might be Charlie girlfriend, but Alastor is her right hand in the practical sense. He is the investor and main manager, supplying hotel with most of resources it needs. Only to get Charlie trust to strike in the best moment? Possibly. But I think there is more likely scenario: Alastor is not Charlie's enemy dressing up as a fake friend. Worse, he is her genuine advisor.
He doesn't want the figurative throne of hell for himself. He wants power and control, starting with breaking his own deal. In my opinion Alastor isn't the type to fight for recognition for it's sake. Reputation is important as a tool, not value in itself. As much, he is perfectly content to let someone else sit on hell's throne, if that someone is the person that considers Him as their right hand. And who's better than idealistic princess of Hell, that cares more about redeeming souls in hell than rulling over it.
In that sense, Alastor will not be another Adam to beat up. He will become to Charlie what Palpatine was to Anakin: parental figure advisor that potentially will make Charlie into another villain. Thats what I mean it might be worse than simple betrayal. If I'm right, we might see Charlie becoming the villain to defeat.
You might counter with "But Charlie doesn't want power, she wants to run the hotel and redeem sinners." And it's fair, she isn't greedy or powerhungry. But that's where Alastor manipulation might come in handy. Because there are good reasons for person wanting to change the world might need power and Radio Demon can convince Charlie she should "take her place as a heir to the throne". Even tho people need to choose to stay in Hotel, so Charlie can't force anyone there, that doesn't mean she can't take control over parts of hell that really doesn't help sinners in redemption. She might want to put down certain overlords for making deals, thus making it nearly impossible for some souls to get free. She might want to abolish drugs in hell, so people in hotel aren't tempted anymore, same with porn industry. Coming back to Star Wars reference, she might want to "bring peace, freedom and happy days to her hell". And all of that with support of very loyal Radio Demon, that will be running all errands in hell, when princess sitting on the throne is busy doing trust exercises with group of sinners in Hazbin Hotel.
That's what I think Alastor imagines, when thinking about "pulling the strings" after "guiding Charlies potential". Share what you think about the topic and follow for more.

Perspective's Sentence Starters; Light Me Up by The Pretty Reckless (Part II)
GOIN' DOWN
I don't wanna bother you.
I've got a sin to confess.
I'm just (AGE), if you know what I mean.
Do you mind if I take off my dress?
Let me get to the good parts.
Might wanna cross up your legs.
I've got envy, I've got greed, anything that you need.
I'm not above having to beg.
There was this boy who tore my heart in two.
I had to lay him eight feet underground.
All I need is someone to save me
I am goin' down.
There is just one other thing.
I have a simple request.
Could you give him a nod in my direction?
I would be in your debt.
Perhaps there is something that we could work out?
I noticed your breathing is starting to change.
We could go in the back.
I didn't wanna do it.
I caught him with another woman in the bed I made him.
I put him in a grave.
Now there's no one left around to get me off when I want.
Now I'm on the run.
Why did I have to go and kill him when he was the best I'd ever had?
NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
It's such a long time.
In a heartbeat, I would do it all again.
I try real hard but I can't forget.
Now I see that you and me were never meant to be,
I'm lost somewhere.
I've got nothin' left to lose.
Jesus and rock 'n' roll couldn't save my immoral soul,
Callin' out sins just to pass the time.
My life goes by in the blink of an eye.
I know you want me.
I was only looking for a friend.
Everything that I was and everything that I've become just falls into the end.
YOU
You don't want me like I want you.
You don't need me like I need you.
I want you in my life.
I need you in my life.
You can't see me like I see you.
I can't have you like you have me.
You can't feel me like I feel you.
I can't steal you like you stole me.
FACTORY GIRL
Won't you pardon me?
I can make my whole world in a backseat.
Could someone save me?
Save me from what I'm on
Wait a minute.
Can you show me to the party?
Just let me in through the backdoor.
Just let me in.
It's gonna be a real good time.
I'm waitin' for my man on Hollywood and Vine.
Gettin' done in the L.A. Sun.
I'm on New York time.
Take a look at those red lights.
I'll show you something if you show me a good time.
I'll let you in through the backdoor.
Here she comes.
She's comin' around again.
Hey, can you let a couple of my friends in too?
FAR FROM NEVER
I know I fucked up this time.
Just give me one more try.
I know you've made up your mind.
Leave me here behind you
All the things you said made it harder to breathe.
You wouldn't save me, but you blame me.
The fire just died.
It's gone forever.
The chance to live our lives, it's gone forever.
So far from never,
I know I messed with your mind.
I know I wasted all your precious time.
No one will never let you down.
You said you'd never let me down.
EVERYBODY WANTS SOMETHING FROM ME
Take a piece of my life.
Take a piece of my soul.
Take a piece of my face so I can never grow old.
Take a piece of my heart.
Take a piece of my brain so I can never be smart.
Everybody wants to see me down.
Everybody wants something from me.
Take a drink of my drink.
Take a drag on my drag
Take a shot of the good and take a pill for the bad.
Take your momma's advice so you can do what is right.
Take a knife to the bed and take a gun to the fight.
Come on and make me.

Hi luta
I'm not really sure how to do this as I'm new to basically everything, including Tumbler. But I want I had a few questions. So I was recently introduced into this community and I'm sure where I fit. I have always been super independent even at a young age and took care of others I'm 20 almost 21. Im still a college student and working full time as a nurse so life is stressful. My friend just recently interduced me to this community so forgive me if I'm doing this completely wrong. She told me that I seem to have little tendencies and I'm not sure where she is getting this or how to know what she means I've tried looking this up but I never feel I drop to another headspace or age. I'm not even sure I would consider myself a submissive. I've always cared for others and told others what to do as I was the oldest and it was my responsibility to care for my younger siblings at that time then I became a nurse so I'm still doing the same really. I am extremely independent I have high boundaries and people can lose my respect easily I don't trust easy I don't like being spoiled cause that takes time from others. I know once I'm close to people I act differently I prefer them make small decisions as I make them everyday sme life changing ones for other people it gets tiring but I still make my own decisions also. I know I can seem childish but thats always brought me comfort small things like blankets and stuffed animals watching cartoons I did as a little kid but I always thought that was normal comfort items to want when stressed. So I'm not sure what really im asking or if you really can help me or even if you talk about littles or little tendencies also sorry for the long post. Bye-bye
Hey marshmellowbunny,
I'm gonna be honest and say that I don't like how your friend went about this. It feels more like someone leading a horse to a trough to drink because they have a rider that needs a horse. Just because there is a hole doesn't mean everything should go in it, nor does everything fit.
The fact that you don't know the basics or basic safety is concerning. And for all I know, this is exactly how your friend was introduced and maybe doesn't know any better either. So let me give some perspective and then answer your questions to the best of my ability.
Why am I bothered by how you were introduced to the community? You don't know what a submissive is. A submissive is not a doormat and should absolutely have boundaries that will be respected. A Dom that doesn't respect boundaries is a shitty Dom. Being submissive doesn't mean that a Dom shouldn't earn your respect or that you should just trust any Dom. That's a good way to ending up face down in a ditch somewhere. I would never disregard my sub's boundaries. Boundaries and guidelines are there for a reason. If they clash with my needs, then I simply look for a different submissive who I better fit with.
I don't know how familiar you are with me, but I'm 100% Dom and my husband is only submissive within our relationship. Outside of our relationship, he's a Dom. Think Porsche from Kinnporsche. Do you know how many stuffed animals I got on my bed because of that man!?!? Which I thought was ridiculous until he pointed out my blanket that I will fight the kids over. I've also caught him on more than one occasion watching his nostalgic childhood cartoons. And that man is so far from a little it's not even funny. I don't want to decide what to eat on any given day, but I'm still Dom. So our status within the community isn't based on a few tendencies we might have but on our personalities and needs as a whole.
First, take a test. Don't look up anything, just take the test.
This test is not perfect, but it will give you a starting place. It will also help you to start thinking about your wants. Then start educating yourself. The same website that I gave you to take a test has blogs and educational resources.
And keep in mind that you can be intrigued by the kink community, enjoy watching or reading about it. Without being a part of it. There is no rush to the finish line with the community. Twenty to Twenty-one is still very young for a scene kinkster, so take your time. You don't read one book and jump right into nursing, right? You don't take one dance class and jump into a dance competition?
Hopefully I wasn't too blunt that I scared you off from asking any more questions and I truly hope I was helpful. Wishing you the best. 💜💜💜

I got a bit of a loaded question, sis. And if it's inappropriate you can tell me, but you said you're Black and Cherokee, so I thought you might have a good perspective.
Do you have any suggested authors, books, or articles behind what seems to be this lack of Black and Indigenous solidarity? I was scrolling this morning and I saw this post that literally was two seconds from dropping a slur (the dogwhistles were horns) and I'm like ... well damn. White Supremacy works terrible wonders, bc I would think the circumstances that brought our groups together would cause some sort of solidarity, so I'm always blown away when I see stuff like that. With other groups I'm familiar with the reasons behind it, but I don't want to assume things for this one.
Sure thing! I'm also gonna annotate this with my own story and learned knowledge of the struggles I've encountered while trying to expand the understand of my identity at the end.
This awesome article by Amber Starks
All these articles by Alaina E. Roberts she amazing at inner community discussion on this topic along with just being an amazing scholar and writer
This Guardian article by Caleb Gayle (another amazing scholar and author, just anything he's written on the topic will do but this article really helped me understand why I had issues connecting) that explores a case study of a Black family aving to fight for a claim to their indigenous identity with certain tribes that want to erase their history of participating in the chattel slavery of Black people
Also Gayle's book We Refuse to Forget
The book Untangling a Red, White, and Black Heritage by Darnella Davis
The Book Blood Politics by Circe Sturm
All of Zora Neal Hurston's black anthropology films they are free on YouTube or through her foundation site and the Black Film Archive
This article by Rebecca Nagle that explores the history of Cherokee confederates and the community slow acknowledgement and atonement for them
This blog post leads to many other articles and interviews with other Black Natives and their experiences in different tribes
This Kyle Mays interview about the re-establishment of Cherokee Freedmans status (hey that's me) and it impact
These npr articles 1 2 about The fight for tribal rights of Cherokee Freedmans
kararoselles, choctawchickasawfreedmen, and faithcampos on tik tok are incredible too
---
Okay so boom, me personally I am both Cherokee Freedman and by Blood quantum (ick) am Cherokee. However I claim my rights though the Dawes Rolls my great- grandfather enrolled too after emancipation because his father (and 2 aunts) were Cherokee slaves. I only really started connect with the native part of my identity recently (like 3 years)
Growing up I was told a lot of the family stories and raised to do a lot of old school practices that are crossed with being Black and being Cherokee. You drop me off in prairie land or a river side I'm surviving, (I hate it but I can process a deer) I grew up weaving baskets/wicker and doing beading, I know a lot of family recipes that now that I've expanded my knowledge are meals that are mixed between traditional Native American foods and AA cooking. My great-grandfather helped build Grand Lake in OK. My family is even prominently buried in and care takers for 2 Freedman Cemeteries.
But I was always taught that was just part of my and my family's Blackness. I have no living family that aren't Black in some way. Being Native American was an afterthought because of the generational racial trauma. Multiple of my full blood grandmas weren't allowed to have their grandchildren at their homes or on their land because they were Black. My mother often told me stories that her grandmother would sneak them to her home and land to learn how to forage, everytime they left she would cut her hair off to give to them because there was always the threat that they were going to get reported and her rights would be stripped. One of my ancestors is lost because he was a runaway slave from the Cherokee slave trade, many were denied status at some point
It's a lot and it didn't help that when I learned about this side of me and tired to reach out to the Native American club in my school. The Cherokee people there started being very racist to me and dismissed me. It jaded me, it pissed me off, I am still bitter and will probably be until I die.
Because a lot of the problems I advocated for (such as local climate change, environmental degradation, contaminated water, land stealing, food deserts, ect.) We're movements spearheaded by Native Americans in my area. I was denied say or acknowledgement because my issues were "Black issues". If someone told you "Hey this white rancher who had only been here 12 years is illegal trying to destroy a Native American cemetery so he had more graze land for his cows" the trial authority would be on that. But no, since the cemetery is Black Cherokees and Freedman they don't want to claim jurisdiction to help my family save it.
But, I do recognize that there has been a long and important history of Native and Black solidarity from social justice to environmental things. To just the clear fact that Native American people had everything stolen from them by white supremacy while Black Americans were stolen people brought here. Just as there was chattel slavery of Black people in certain major tribes, there were many that protected and supported escaping slaves. That history and cross culture is mine, I've made it one of my side missions to learn more about my Native side's culture, reconnects as some of my older family members are (mostly through folklore learning and connecting the things I was raised to do to Cherokee practices, participating in tribal news/votes ect.) But I haven't got the energy to connect with the people yet, I haven't gone to any in person Circles or powwows. I've only met other Black Cherokees with the intention to have community and friendship with.
Unfortunately but not surprising, the cause of a lack of solidarity comes down to white supremacy and global antiblackness. But I think that is the cause for a lack of ALL POC solidarity with Black people, especially in America.
------
And for the hoteps that are gonna find this post and try to be fucking weird on it.
NO! BLACK PEOPLE (THOSE DESCENDANTS OF THE SURVIVORS OF THE MIDDLE PASSAGE SLAVE TRADE, DEMOGRAPHICALLY CATEGORIZED AS AFRICAN AMERICANS TODAY, MAJORITY OF US) ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL NATIVE AMERICANS OR OTHER INDIGENOUS PEOPLES TO THE AMERICAS
Do NOT be a fucking weirdo and deny the legacy of survival, tragedy, perseverance, and love that our ancestors went through in the past to lead to your lineage of today. I am a special and blessed case to have the family records, story keeping, and DNA testing available to claim my indigenous identity that is directly linked in through my Black identity.
DO NOT BE WEIRD ON THIS POST, THOSE STONE HEADS WITH THICK LIPS ARE NOT WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN MISLED TO THINK THEY ARE. CHEROKEE NATION WAS A DICK BEFORE HOPKINS WAS ELECTED. PLEASE RESEARCH YOUR LINEAGE BEFORE YOU HOP ON MY POST BECAUSE I WILL EMBARRASS YOU WITH THE RECEIPTS OF MINE
#black people#black culture#Black History#indigenous culture#indigenous people#black rights#indigenous rights#indigenous history#sources#afro indigenous#i believe im solidarity but now that 7/10 times POC Solidarity is a myth#unfortunately antiblackness makes the world go round

When you think about the lack of adults in fnafhs, and the lack of narrative importance they have*, Bon's dad becomes a very interesting character, even if he just appears in like one minute of one episode.
It's not THAT long but ion like scrolling
*not to say that there aren't any adults in the series, just that the ones do Nothing™ when they appear, I mean, the only one that comes to mind that ACTIVELY affects the plot (or would affect bc season cut short) is Ms Lana, but she never got to do anything so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm just gonna talk about the old man this should be quick. (Finishing notes, it wasn't)
He is part of the Yaoi shonen ai subplot alright, at this moment Bon is especially conflicted with his feelings about Bonnie as he has already realized what they are but is afraid to admit it*. The only question now is: why won't he admit them?? It's clearly something he has considered from the beginning, and, after spending more time with Bonnie, is almost a fact that is love (ignoring the possibility of platonic feelings for a bit for the sake of the argument). The answer is: his dad.
*this is more of a personal reading as we know edoo would extend the "maybe maybe not"a lot more. BUT I say this confidently bc at the end of the whole camp arc Bon gets the heartbroken forever alone joke or smth when Bonnie insist on being friends, I rest my case, I got derailed for a bit lol
In the scene where The Man appears (he is nameless you see) we get a glimpse of what the relationship with his son is.
When bon is in his room getting ready for school (and pondering on his results of the Am I Gay? Quiz of life) we hear the voice of his dad to come downstairs. He notices the (not so subtle) injuries on his son and ask what that's about. Bon tells him it's from a fight. He gets up from his seat to clearly interested about it, whether he won, if he used some technique he taught him, etc., looking all invested and proud at his son's actions, finishing the conversation saying how he is proud that Bon is finally acting as a man and that he was getting worried of Bon being "effeminate" (or woman-like to be exact) with all the accessories and especially the sleeve he usually wears. He doesn't make another appearance from there (besides at the end of the episode where he introduces toddy, but he isn't important in here, so it doesn't count)
So, his character is pretty straight forward, he is stereotypically masculine, incites violence and is emotionally distanced from his son, as we see how he dismisses his interest and tries to push him to fight with his lessons on various fighting "techniques". Bon gets pretty bummed out from this short conversation afterwards, having to reassure himself after leaving his house. From here we take that Bon is not close with his dad, and also that he seeks for his approval or at least to not get on his bad side, and understandingly so, seeing how he reacts to smaller things, such as the sleeve.
So what's so interesting about him then?? He gives Bon depth, even if said depth is just showing that he comes from a "kinda homophobic-ish, idk if my dad would kick me out of the house if I'm gay" background. This small information gives us a new perspective of Bon's conflict, after that it's not only a story of a teenage boy trying to understand his sexuality and get a bf or smth, it goes deeper now, what are those feelings exactly, how much influence does his dad have on him?, how does this affect the relationship with his dad? What would he do if his family rejects him for being himself?
Soo idk what I'm going with this I just wanted to talk about my thoughts about the old man whose role is being homophobic for the plot ok bye
#fnafhs#fhs#bon fnafhs#WHAT THE FUCK AM I TALKING ABOUT‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥#that man had one job and he nailed it gracefully#i know i just tagged bon on this but he is here like adjacently uuhhhh#bons dad fnafhs#midnight rambles#even though i started it in the afternoon i have nothing better to do w my life rn. expect more sith like this

You mentioned in an ask that Rose would have likely spent the rest of her natural life looking for a way to cure Astarion. I was wondering if there's a point where Ascendant Astarion ever gives up trying to get Rose back? Or turns to a weird alternative (I know hemlock mentioned he was kinda into the idea of the simulacrum for a while)? Like Rose was eventually gonna die, whether by natural causes or one of her adventures going awry. What if she had died before he could lure/strong arm her into coming back?
oh boy, anon, we're delving into the darkest timelines with these questions, huh??? i genuinely hadn't considered some of these before so had to think about it.
there's a few lines to unpick here.
is there a point where Astarion ever gives up? if Rosalie had not reacted to the first murder rampage, he would've done another, bigger murder rampage. if she did not react to that one, he'd do another one, etc, until he's actually doing the whole 'take over the world' thing. basically he'd stack up a body count until she was provoked, which is why this hadn't really occurred to me as a timeline, bc I think there would always reach a point where she's like "fuck he's super evil now, gotta go put him in the ground". in that timeline, she doesn't bother with Wish, it's just a fight to the death.
weird alternative? probably, but not for me as I'm not a Dead Dove writer. Some parts of Pieces are curbed by what genre it's in. I have avoided a lot of the worst implications of plot points i've introduced bc I'm not interested in writing them, not out of moral judgement (in fact, I enjoy dead dove content, I just don't have fun writing it). in my tamer timeline, he probably just starts dating a string of tieflings in full mid-life crisis mode lmfao.
what if Rosalie had died before ever seeing Astarion again? If none of Pieces ever happened? Guess what, it happens in an entirely different, dark-timeline form. This is one of the reasons Astarion would want a Wish spell in his arsenal lmfao. We'd be doing a Pieces from his perspective where he's the hero bringing his lost love back to life.
if she'd died of old age? I mean, probably a little bit of the above, some kind of Wish spell to reset the timeline. Or he does exactly as he says he would do in Chapter 12, and goes full nuclear option Ascendency - with his one chain to morality gone, he just goes full evil.
#asks#anons#wip: pieces still stuck in your teeth#if these seem self-indulgently obsessed with Rosalie as my Tav that's bc it's a gothic romance lol#i don't think this woman is this special or worth this amount of obsession but that's the genre i'm in

Arlong x Human!reader: Parenthood Part 1
This will be angstier on the relationship part at the beginning because of reader's perspective but eventually will have a bit happier ending, or at least a more hopeful one. This will include the timeskip in the manga and the anime. RIP to my old style of writing, I'm gonna miss the bulleted list because it was easier for me to write and read, but the fuckers who updated this website only allow a maximum of 4096 chatacters.
If anyone had asked you if you regretted where you were now, you would have said no, but that there were things that could have been handled better. Let's get started on how you got into this mess in the first place.
You were just a rookie revolutionary that were on a mission to free some fishmen slaves in the East Blue. As you patiently helped them get out of their cages (some of them were very suspicious to having a human help them) some of the guards decided to attack, surrounding you all. You were not going to just stand there and go down without a fight, if you could buy some time for the slaves to escape you would gladly sacrifice yourself.
You just weren't expecting to find some fishmen band over there as well. They just came out of nowhere, still, their appearence wasn't unwelcome. Soon, you were fighting alongside them in perfect synchronization, as if you had been doing it your entire lives.
Their captain, Arlong, seemed quite impressed with your skills and your knowledge about the main slave camps of the East Blue. When he offered you a teamup, you hesitated, you barely knew him and weren't planning on staying much in this sea. Nevertheless, there were still slaves that needed to be freed and you were lacking in the muscle department, maybe working together wasn't such a bad idea.
Honestly, the fact that his secret base was so in the open was something you didn't see coming. As a member of the revolutionaries, your life was always on the move, from one secret hidden place to the other. Having such an open area and throwing parties every now and then was wild, but a refreshing change.
The place was nice, it was like being in a tropical hotel, they even had a saltwater pool for the fishmen to swim in. The presence of the entirely male fishmen crew wasn't a bother at all, most of them just kept to themselves and let you work in your next mission. There was only another human woman on the entire place, her name was Nami. She had barely spoken two sentences to you and they weren't very nice, she didn't seem the friendly type. Although there were times were you catch her staring like she wanted to tell you something but always stopped herself. Arlong told you to not mind her, she just didn't like outsiders.
Speaking of Arlong. There was something about that fishman that drew you to him. He was charming, he was flirty and he was passionate about the liberation of fishmen. With each mission successfully completed you two became closer, and one night during a party at Arlong Park... well...
But fairytales weren't meant to last forever. Everything came crushing down. Not so long after that, Arlong started showing his true colors, you began to see how ruthless he could be, how dismissive of you he became after he had tasted you. Nami was right, you had just been just a tool to him, so he could recruit more fishmen into his army.
You felt dirty, you felt used, and you felt heartbroken. You had helped someone who could be potentially as bad as the World Government. And all for what? Seven minutes in heaven? You didn't know at that time, but you felt that you should have known better. He was never interested in you at all, not the way you had been interested in him.
So you ran, as soon as you saw your chance you ran without looking back. You didn't know if they were going to give chase, but as long as you kept moving, you wouldn't need to worry.
Some time later, word got to you that someone had finally beaten Arlong and destroyed Arlong Park. You felt sick to your stomach when you heard about all the atrocities he had comitted, specially to that poor village near Arlong Park. At least that night you were able too sleep peacefully knowing he and his crew had been imprisoned by the Marines, as much as you despised them.
But your problems were far from over.
Turns out that sick feeling didn't go away the next morning, or the following, or the one after that. It didn't disappear, unlike your period, that magically vanished. And as the town's doctor confirmed you, it wouldn't go away for quite some time.
You were pregnant.
You felt a rush of panic flow into you. What were you going to do?? Where could you go?? This was no ordinary hybrid's baby, this was Arlong's baby, a very dangerous individual.
Against all better judgement, you decided to keep it. This was your responsibility, it was in your hands to not let the baby become like Arlong. This could be another step to peace between both races. So you found yourself a job in one of the town's shops and settled down, since your life as a revolutionary was practically over, it was no life for an infant.
Nobody told you pregnancies or fishman pregnancies in this case, were that difficult. Everything ached, you felt swollen, and that little bundle of joy inside you was kicking up a storm with their tremendous strength. You felt tired, really tired, so tired that your neighbors took pity on you and kindly helped you with the most ardous tasks when you became too big to bend over. You felt grateful you had managed to land in such a kind and open minded community.
For some reason you got huge cravings for roasted beef, you needed to have it almost every single day. Maybe it was the fishman side of the baby, you remembered Arlong eating it some days.
There were days when you would just lay in bed, drenched in sweat and too exhausted and heavy to move while the baby practised their Fishman Karate moves. But there were also days, where you sat on the swing in your porch and stared at the sunset, while you softly caressed your growing belly and they gently moved in return.
The birth was something you would never forget. As if having a half fishman baby wasn't difficult enough due to the difference in species, you were having a sawfish fishman's baby. Holding your daughter in your arms filled you with inmense joy and tenderness and made it the best day of your life, but her nose alone had been enough to make a few tears in your birth canal that had to be stitched and would take sometime to heal.
But you easily forgave her because your daughter was perfect, her skin tone, nose, gills and wild hair might be her father's, yeah, but there was no denying that her facial structure and eyes were yours. Despite her similarities to Arlong, she was everything he wasn't, and you swore to protect her from any harm.
The next two years of your life were the most active and tiring of your life, and at the same time, the greatest. Your little girl was a cheerful child, full of love for everything that surrounded her, be it you, your neighbours, or a random ladybug she had found on the street. She was also restless, curious and very very energetic. The terrible twos had started and with them, came all the hardships of parenthood.
Her teeth were developing faster than any other human children, but slower than a fishman. Your neighbors, though patient and loving with the rambunctious hybrid child, were starting to get tired of finding random objects and parts of buildings filled with bite marks.
Despite her biting problem, no one gave you a hard time for her heritage, no one was ever cruel to her. Because there was certainly not a single bad bone in her tiny little body. She only knew about love, and peace. You led quiet and happy lives in your modest home in your little island, on the outskirts of town. Everything was perfect.
Until one day Arlong returned.

Gurl I don't know how am I gonna get over this, I've been having an unstoppable intrusive thoughts for a while, my family was always fighting I can't sleep, opening tumblr and seeing int he news feed saying manifestation isn't real but actually is but I'm kinda triggered, idk how am I gonna handle this, I'm feel like falling apart for a while, I'm feeling tortured.
To help with intrusive thoughts, something that clears my mind is either crying til I feel better or writing everything I feel out or both at the same time. Though it's intense the clearness afterwards is rewarding. As fir fighting and not being able to sleep, if u can get noise canceling headphones and wear them or u can try what I call a tuning out exercise. As someone who maladaptive daydreams due to trauma and anxiety, this is something I do naturally when my stress is too high. What u wanna do is focus all your attention on what's going on in ur head even if u hear all the arguing in the background. If you can visualize take yourself somewhere in your mind, it can be anywhere, focus your attention entirely on making that scene either as vividly or as ideally as possible. If you can't visualize have a inner convo with yourself or focus on the black behind your eyes and imagine it swallowing you up being like a blanket of peace. When focusing on the black behind your eyes your gonna bring attention to relaxing each part of your body OR relaxing the part of your body with the most tension. For me when I've done it I focus on my heart because when I'm too stressed hy heart and stomach hurt the most. Eventually it gets to a point where you've focused on it so well that despite any noise outside of you you've already tuned it out unless of course you bring your attention back to the arguing in the background. There are side effects to this though, you could develop maladaptive daydreaming if u don't do that already, you could end up talking to yourself much more if you're the type to affirm out loud or have your inner convo out loud also you could develop being disassociate from reality. All this thing I already have on my own due to me being on schizophrenic spectrum and as a neurodivergent my escapism tendencies as u can see play a part in this. But this is why Journaling was my second option for you. When Journaling focus on everything you're writing sometimes you cam find key reoccurring things that your mind thinks and u may not even be aware of it but it gives you an idea on what you should work on mentally.
As for your manifesting issue, I'll tell you like I've told myself when I once deleted tumblr, if you're doubting manifesting because of someone else perspective and experience on it then you've already failed from the start. You're basing your manifestation experience through another person's lenses and that's why you yourself are doubting. You will never ever know if manifestation truly works if you don't apply it for yourself and not just think whether or not it works based on someone else's success or "failure"
