pretzel centric shit but lots of gillion too (not just fic ideas this time, also hcs) (once again spoilers lol)

pretzel can read gillion's thoughts perfectly. like only his, it is magic, and even applies to humanoid pretzel. i like to think about it especially for like a scene where gill finds out jay was a traitor before after a fight thing and you know what just take it in a fic form (references to jay's dad btw so spoilers lol)

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

Gillion gripped his sword tightly. First, a giant monster attack and now he's only just found this out, one of his best friends being a traitor, having lied this whole time to his face. The distress on Jay's face was almost enough to get him to stop.

She was terrified. Jay was a traitor, yes, but there's a reason it's was and not is. She knew the look in his eyes, that grit of his teeth, the more heavy breathing, and it was the same anger he had during the duel with Chip. She felt the tears on her face and did not care. She didn't want to fight a friend but she knew as a friend Gillion would still do so.

Both were tired from the monster attack and in need of more healing. Jay seemed to want to make words, yet only her eyes could plead for him to not do what she knew he would.

"Jay Ferin, if that's even your real name," Gillion started.

"Gill, please." Jay begged him.

Tiny hands came and grabbed Gillion's sword away from him, and Jay noticed them take her weapons as well. As the two looked to their right, they saw Pretzel with them both, handing them off to Oliver already.

"You two are in no condition to fight, and Gillion you don't even WANT to fight! I understand you have honor, but I can't let my best friend fight his best friend over an issue that was already resolved." She glared at Gillion like a parent who told their kid to not eat dirt and they still did.

"Pretzel, please do not interfere-" Gillion tried to argue back, but she grabbed his back, sat him down, and started to take off his armor. Jay didn't know if she was really that strong, if Gillion was tired to fight her back, didn't want to hurt her on accident, or if maybe it was just because Pretzel was herself that she could do such a thing.

"After I get this off you, your going to sleep. Think about it before jumping into another combat. If you still want to duel her, that's up to you, but maybe using that coral would help you. Oh, and you better heal up too, or I will be forced to use the stickers Ollie got all over your armor. As for you..." She referenced to Jay, who hadn't moved still.

"Gill may have been...out of commission and it may have been your doing, but I wasn't. I've seen you and how good of a friend you are to Gillion. Heal up, then you better sleep too. Next time that dumb idiot comes around, I'll punch him for ya." She winked at Jay, who stopped being so tense as she gave a nod and headed down below to do as Pretzel said.

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

humanoid pretzel is such good friends with ollie you do not understand

most of these are humanoid pretzel but since finn and gill have scrolls, pretzel has a scrapbook and probs would own a polaroid (she also doodles and writes, its really a mix but she has special pages for everyone but gill, who has like 3)

edyn would braid gill's hair but pretzel (both humanoid and frogtopus) is the one who remembered not gill so when he wants to get his hair away and more securely he just very embarrassedly gets up and sits infront of this small pink frogtopus (or light pink child for humanoid) who talks to him as if shes his hairstylist (she is)

pretzel can no problem pick up gill's old sword (and new one lol) (applies to humanoid and frogtopus) but only gills sword. like chip's swords are too heavy, but gill's old giant ass sword? balancing on her fingertips. shes just great like that <3

ok so the ring scene was gay af but like pretzel and gill have a ring. like its definitely not magical anymore yet gill and pretzel just kept it because it was so special to them (again applies to humanoid and frogtopus)

i can see pretzel being trans or genderfluid/fluidflux but doesnt change her physical appearance because im trans and i dont plan to get rid of anything so you dont have to either

ftm gill where pretzel helped pick out the binder because she didnt trust him enough to know how they worked and not damage himself (also had to make sure it would be okay under the heavy armor gill wears so he can breath)

gillion has rushed into battle with crayon marks all over his armor because pretzel felt it to be "bland" and in need of her magic

even as a frogtopus pretzel likes ollie and his hair is a spot she has perched before and he just doesnt care at this point

pretzel is fully prepared to like die for gillion and she always tells him this cause the chosen one is still someone to himself and someone to her

mermaid pretzel au. thats all.

in a pokemon au pretzel is still herself but i find it funny if like pretzel was a legendary and like thats gill's starter. like theres only one of her and chip and jay are so confused and amazed on how he got his hands on her and he just goes "oh yeah shes my partner i found her one day and she just vibed with me and now we're here"

autistic humanoid pretzel hates the feeling of sand sticking to her and likes lots of liquid textures and stickers (also gillion is her fav textures because yes)

hear my vision out: theres like these bad guys fighting the riptide pirates, and theyre cornered to a wall. then, in a flash of light, the tiny orb on gill's hip starts to glow and when it clears, humanoid pretzel is there with a pistol and says this: "YOU'VE SEEN DESTINY, BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO MEET YOUR FATE BITCHES!"

pretzel is the #1 hypeman for sure no questions needed

BAND HUMANOID PRETZEL LOVES SINGING NO DOUBTS (also plays both a flute and kazoo because yeah)

i remember hearing someone mention how funny itd be if pretzel was secretly an all powerful monster and stuff so that goes here but the reason she stays as a lil frogtopus is cause gill likes it

did i forget to say humanoid pretzel would have a cutlass? it seems i did so yeah she would (that or a pair of daggers)

i have to fight the urge to say autistic gill as a hc because i have so many that are pretty common for him (ill just run through them, tail truther and along side being a canon ace hes also probs a homosexual hes literally the flag colors) (NOT SAYING COMMON HEADCANONS ARE BAD, ITS JUST ID RATHER SHARE MY OWN AND THROW NEW ONES INTO THE RING)

gill has lots of jewelry in a little pouch but he doesnt wear it much because of the long amounts of fighting leave him without time to put them on and hes scared hed lose them in battle (a lot are from edyn, a couple from pretzel, and theres a lot of hand made ones). however, he definately has the ring for pretzel and the necklace from aslana on (chip's ring either is still on or in his pouch) but yeah hes like a crow he likes the shiny jewelry

highschool triton gill has a video camera which he uses for learning about the above world

modern day tattoo artist gill (to add on chip does piercings [but that can be swapped with gill i feel like], pretzel does hair [see stanzi, shes how i imagine pretzel acting], and jay either works at a hot topic, a makeup store, i got a lot ideas for jay up in here that ill share later lol)

gill didnt really know at first what tattoos were so when he saw chip had some (because chip had to have had some) he thought chip got dirty and tried to wipe it off

GILLION WITH TATTOOS GILLION WITH TATTOOS GILLION WITH TATTOOS GILLION WITH TA-

pretzel has listened to gill do gay rambles late at night ontop the deck about marshal jon and you get a fic thing for it too (do note i am not good with the albatross layout so if i make characters go from one area and then have them materialize somewhere else entirely im sorry i just dont have a clue where shit is)

It was late out and Earl knew that, but it was one of those nights he may have been in his tavern, chatting the patrons into maybe giving him a couple more gold for the drinks, the likes, so he didn't feel like sleeping yet. When it didn't leave after a couple minutes, he just got up and went to get a drink. Some juice may do the trick.

"...oh my gods Pretzel, just so cool!"

Earl may be old, but he wasn't old enough to start hearing things...he hoped. Taking a glass with him, he headed to the main deck. Pacing back and front infront of a wood barrel was Gillion in his pajamas. He looked to be rambling to Pretzel. Normally, Earl would have told Gillion to shut the fuck up and get back to sleep, but there was nothing to do so he listened in from the door way, wondering why he was still up.

"...is pretty amazing right, but have you seen Marshal Jon? Like, if I hadn't ever seen him and you described him to me, I'd think you were crazy. Jon is just so tall and so big and while he could have stayed on the dark side with evil somehow I convinced him to become my friend on the side of heroes! The sideburns, the tattoos, oh the tattoos! Just wow, Pretzel, wow."

Pretzel let out a couple of purrs in response. She looked as though this kind of talk was a normal event for her. "Well, maybe it might be seen as a tiny bit strange to think about a man so much...BUT HAVE YOU SEEN HIS PECKS?!" As Gillion talked, he saw Pretzel using her tentacles to try and cover her mouth from laughing, making him stop. When Gillion turned around to see what was causing her to find such humor, he saw an old man Earl, just standing there with his face blank and his jaw a little open, trying to calibrate what was happening. They both just stood there staring for a while.

"I'm too tired to figure out what the shit I just witnessed, just get to bed ya fucking knuckle head." Earl broke the silence, finishing his juice and turning back around so he didn't have to watch Gillion shove Pretzel onto his face and jump into the sea out of embarrassment. Of course he was riding with the strangest (and gayest) of fucking kids.

couple of notes on the lil fic thing; 1. yes ill be doing earl hcs later on 2. i asked a friend who would find gill rambling and they said either ollie or earl so i did earl 3. earl called them kids because theyre younger then him and he sees them to be as idiotic as children are portrayed as

as seen in the fic thing i just did, gill jumps into the closest (and biggest) body of water when embarrassed and if there arent any close by he goes either in a barrel or becomes a ball

tbh this was meant to be mainly gill hcs with lots of pretzel but i realized not even half way that it was the other way around

highschool au gill owns squeaky toys for himself and pretzel (they also play dolls unashamed)

ok now more fic ideas rather then mostly hcs cause yeah

gill either teaches or is taught by chip about things like autism and such

gill teaching the crew about special undersea traditions

pretzel takes gillion to a pride parade (highschool au)

humanoid pretzel and actual undersea king gill where the translator is pretzel and shit

a mini fic series of ollie being taught by both gill and humanoid pretzel about how to do magic

remember the ollie pranking the crew with therapy? pretzel helps out with it 100%

pretzel finding out that the entire crew is trans and shes the only cis one onboard (besides maybe earl)

siren pretzel is presented something new today: a human child (its ollie i like them hanging out :D)

shapeshifter pretzel decides to make earl think hes lost his mind lol

gillion spends time with caspian but pretzel cant come so ollie helps her handle the missing him

pretzel has the powers of god and proceeds to show it in a battle becaus yeah (like she just casually tackles a guy to the ground effortlessly)

gillion tries to communicate with pretzel and learn more about her because his study topic today is frogtopi

shapeshifter pretzel tries to attack jay after the shooting gillion incident

pretzel beats up jay's dad, thats all

in ep 54 theres a scene where gillion is looking around for a weapon and bizly is just hoping that theres a spiked bat so gillion with a spiked bat

edyn and pretzel beat up the elders together (i have barely a clue what they did despite being at ep 61 which is over half way but i have some idea and since the fandom doesnt like them plus the way ive seen them written aint something you could do so easily for nice people i think they deserve it)

if yall got more share them pls

Can I request Guzma falling for a tall muscular dude who looks kinda scary but is actually a soft boi who babysits the island kids and teaches them about pokemon?

It was a few months after old Hala had taken Guzma back under his wing and Guzma finally had some independence. Hala had stopped waking Guzma at 6am on the dot each morning, so the ex-Skull boss had taken the chance to have his signature 3 hour lie-in after initially waking up. After glancing at the tiny clock in the sparsely decorated “guest room” in Hala’s attic, Guzma smiled to himself, proud of his body for allowing his sleep schedule to remain so fucked up for so long. He managed to sneak out of the Kahuna’s home where he was being made to stay and finally get out and stretch his legs without having to pick out weeds or entertain Hala’s crabby-ass Crabominable for hours on end. All at the ripe hour of 3 in the afternoon.

As he slowly made his way along the smoothly paved although dusty street on the outskirts of Hau’oli, Guzma saw a figure in the distance, almost completely distorted, waving in the Alolan summertime haze. Guzma wasn’t sure if it was that he just woke up and hadn’t eaten yet or if that silhouette he was squinting at was about as big as he was.

He sauntered over to the school gates just as the now obviously large man ushered away some kids with their mom. Guzma straightened his back to appear taller than the 6′ he usually was when slouching. About 10 feet from the gates, he slowed to a stop and decided to stand with his back to the wall. He didn’t wanna look like he was checking this guy out, but he snuck a glance over after a few seconds.

Guzma caught his eye.

Shit.

His glance darted away and his folded arms grew tight around his abdomen, his head sinking into his shoulders.

“Hey! You trying to pull something?” A voice shouted from Guzma’s right. The fuck was he trying to say? Was he thinking he was some dirty sleezebag who goes after kids in broad daylight? The mere thought of that pissed him off and as the man strode over to him, Guzma shot up, straightened out his back again and puffed out his chest, staring the teacher down with a twisted look on his face.

“Th’ fuck you tryna say?” he growled. The teacher was now within regular talking distance and the ex-Skull king, forgetting the months he spent with Hala was ready to throw some fuckin’ hands as if he were still the universally revered and feared leader of a gang. Anyone who tried to make him out to be that dirty made him sick to his stomach and deserved to have some sense knocked into ‘em, courtesy of yours truly. He curled his fists tight and equally tightened his leer.

“People like you make me sick! How on our Tapu’s green soil can anyone be so sick as to prey on little kids!”

“You fuckin’ what?” Guzma took a step closer to the slightly shorter man in the business-casual attire. “What the fuck makes you think I’m doin’ that, huh?” He threw out his arms to the sides. “I’m just fuckin’ walkin’! I hate kids!”

“Hmm... Well you’ll have to forgive me if that’s true, you sort of look the part...”

“And you look- uh..” Guzma was about to totally come up with a witty retort although he hadn’t actually taken a decent enough look at this dude until now, noticing he was actually kinda well built for a trainer school teacher, damn.

“Look,” he interrupted. “Why don’t you come inside and we can have a coffee and talk this whole misunderstanding over? The kids and parents are all gone, and the other staff have left except for the janitor.” Guzma looked at him, slightly offended.

“I don’t need ya charity.” he grumbled, now slightly calmer and coming back down from his rage. He was staring at the ground, slightly embarrassed.

“Oh, no! that’s not what I meant, I- look- it’s just something to make it up to you. You were minding your own business and I jumped to a lot of conclusions.”

“tch’yeah. Ya did.” Guzma punctuated, side-eyeing him.

“What can I do to make it up to you?” His words sounded genuine and calm, a fair contrast between that and his stature.

Guzma hesitated for a while. “Well I was goin’ to get some malasadas. Least ya can do is pay, ya can’t back out now, ya offered.” Guzma thought that that revelation was the one of the century. He was visibly more cocky and sounded more confident as he said it. Free malasadas? Friggin’ score.

Ok I literally can’t take it so I’m here to rant bc I don’t think larries realize that they have literally ruined the fandom not just for antis but for anyone that’s indifferent/ neutral or maybe a larrie that isn’t a psychopath; like ppl who don’t have Stan accounts but keep up w these men and tinhat in private. They always do one of these things:

A. Victimizing Harry as if he’s some helpless victim who is being forced into being a superstar(😭) at the expense of what he wants most which, (to them) is to live happily and openly with sweet monogamous boyfriend Louis… who they think is such a loser that he follows Mr. Popstar around helplessly(based on blurry ass pics, no less). And when it’s time for Harry to me MIA while Louis is out and living he’s papped every week w his “stunt” (actual gf). They genuinely think this is happening againts his will even though Harry is up rob stringers ass and Jeff and him are literally inseparable. They think this is forced only to give Harry/Sony more power and that in itself makes no sense bc when u think abt it if their dumb little theories were right wouldn’t Harry literally b choosing his fame/money over his relationship that supposedly means everything to him? Wouldn’t he literally be choosing to praise sony/Jeff and do as they say at the expense of his and his boyfriends “freedom”???? That’s when some of the ones who catch this do B:

B. Victimizing Louis making him out to be this complete idiot whose only purpose is to signal to them that he’s dating Harry styles but who is also involuntarily exploiting a 6 year old child just so the label can shut down gay/larry rumors while he’s simultaneously only stuck doing this to protect harrys career bc, like they’ve said, “stunting” or forced stunting literally doesn’t make sense in regards to Louis. If he is a closeted LGBT man(one that’s so gay that he would never conceive a child, according to their circus, but that’s another story) there is absolutely no way it’s forced to protect his current(Beautiful, flourishing; but underground and not noticeable to the GP) career under the terms of some contract bc he’s literally someone who’s done minimal marketing with his music so far. I know ppl think he’s been railroaded and tbh i always taught his team sucks but aye I guess that works for him bc Matt vines is still around so larries explain how Simon is doing this when he’s been free of him for 2 years😭😭.

If the certain songs that can be interpreted as LGBT(which is subjective but if u interpret it in a certain way bc you’re part of the community, like myself, then u do u) mean he’s really genuinely part of the community then the only reason why he’s not “out” is bc he literally does not owe fans information on who he likes and who he’s slept with. He could drop a song on Lt2 with lyrics about giving head to males while marrying Eleanor the next week and he still wouldn’t owe us an explanation bc bisexuality and Pansexuality and sexual curiosity literally exist and are so valid and any man can write songs abt this and still be with a woman or call himself straight like he’s said he is😭. I have a friend like that she’s been w women talks abt it but she still calls herself straight and it ain’t homophobia bc this girl literally attends pride w me every year and is the best ally I’ve ever met🤚🏼. I don’t want to speak on his sexuality though bc tbh gay rumors aren’t the problem it’s Larry rumors. They’ve already done the invalidating shit with Harry- which tbh if I was a harrie I would def drag these homophobes to hell bc that’s so insulting to LGBT fans and to him. And that’s the last thing they do:

C. Bully. Bully Eleanor. Bully Olivia. Camille, A SIX YEAR OLD FREDDIE GET BEHIND ME, other fans, phoebe and daisy, lottie, Gemma, ANNE, jay(may her wonderful soul RIP), the tommo grandpa, Taylor swift, fizzy (rip angel🙏), Harry and Louis themselves, their ex bandmates, their ex coworkers, their ex bosses, their best friends, EVERYONE. They think talking abt this shit is gonna get them somewhere when all it has done is made ppl deny it. And yet they have the AUDACITY to get pissed at Louis when he denied it angry(and impulsively, not a smart move) or get pissed at Harry for ignoring their asses and continuing to date older women years after he left syco. I am tired. Louis has way too much patience w these mfs cus if it was me I’d be verbally abusive after all they’ve done. I know this is prob bc he wants to keep everyone happy in fandom and not lose fans but it still takes sm patience to put up w this I could never. I can’t speak for Harry bc I’m not his Stan but I can’t imagine he loves this either. Especially considering the fact that people literally try to cancel every woman he dates despite the fact that he’s done things just as problematic as them- like literally every other celeb to breathe air bc ppl are not perfect. Fucking Niall is problematic under larry logic- NIALL. And yet when this point is brought up… crickets.

Sorry for the rant I’m just exhausted of seeing this on my dash. It’s completely ruined fandom for me. Fandom was fun in 2013 I had a blast on here when I was 11 but now…. Yikes.

If Larry is real then good for them I’m happy that they’re in love but since it’s not I’m happy that they’re in love w Eleanor and Olivia and have stable careers.

Hey there! That's one hell of a rant and you're not wrong!

I gotta tell you though, I hope getting this off your chest has let you take a breath and let go of some of the frustration. It's no good to carry it around with you!

If fandom is a drag for you to be around, it's really okay to withdraw - unlike conspiracy theorists, you know that Louis and Harry will continue to thrive whether or not you're on Tumblr or Twitter talking about them!

Alternatively, do not hesitate to curate your dashboard to make it a pleasant place for you. Block and unfollow people who put stuff on your dash that bums you out (yes, this might mean breaking mutuals if they're sharing stuff from conspiracy theorists! You have to put yourself first). Make ample use of xkit to use blacklists to keep the kinds of words that piss you off far from your fannish experience.

Fandom is here to be fun. If it isn't fun, there's no point. Also, come chat with me or other antis, that can be amusing lol.

9 for the OTP questions? Choose any ship you’d like!

Thank you nonnie! Sorry for taking almost a week to get to this, hope you enjoy :)

Number 9-- Pirate AU: Who is the pirate? Who is the member of the royal family who did not sign up for this?

(There are two not-fics below-- rotten four as is my brand, and mal/audrey)

There’s two ways I could go with this:

either THIS is the Maldry rivals-to-friends-to-lovers fic, where Mal is a dashing pirate who is young and rebellious and was kicked off of her ship by her mother, who wants her to attend the young lady's academy on the mainland and educate herself in the ways of “proper” society so that they can infiltrate the rich ships better and get the reputation as the gentlewoman pirates that they deserve. Of course, in this fic Mal meets Audrey along the way, and hates her immediately. Seriously, this girl likes PINK and PRINCESSES but also NOT PRINCESSES because she is NOT INTO GIRLS and it’s INFURIATING.

“Mal,” says Evie, who is Mal’s best friend from the pirate ship who is actually delighted to be attending the princess academy and is learning new ways to hide knives in her fancy dresses every day “Babe.”

“Fuck off,” says Mal, who has known Evie since they were six and had a falling-out so dramatic that they sailed on separate ships next to each other for four years afterwards.

“You’re so gay for her.” says Evie, who is already hooking up with Mal in their free time because it’s easy and comfortable and they both enjoy it well enough. “I know that look, Mal Bertha.”

“There’s no look,” says Mal, sulking.

“Just ask her out with all of your dashing pirate charm.” Evie says. She has not stopped applying her lipgloss throughout this conversation, and it’s not as distracting as it should be for either girl.

So Mal goes out and picks up a new pair of boots with less bloodstains than her old ones, and rents a boat (renting is like stealing, except it’s only for a while. It’s practically borrowing, really, except for how Evie has drilling it into Mal’s mind after a few too many incidents with lost books that BORROWING happens when you’ve ASKED FIRST) and decides to turn on the full pirate charm

Audrey is not impressed, and does not break up with her boyfriend, Chad Charming, over this attempt at wooing. She is a princess, and in NO HECKING WAY did she sign up to be….harassed!! By a pirate no less!! Everyone knows who her mother really is, no matter if she’s here under an “education decree” from the “crown prince” for the “children” of the exiled *former* smuggler’s community by the coast.

….Mal steals a boat, and tries again. Only this time with kidnapping.

Audrey is impressed with the dedication, if nothing else. She may not like a pirate, but she can appreciate a girl who will dedicate at least six hours of her life to plotting and stealing a whole finishing vessel from the coast. And cook her a lobster dinner on it.

Mal is delighted by this turn of events. Evie is thrilled that she finally has time without her best friend where she can FINALLY decorate their room the way she wants. Audrey is reluctant at first, but eventually comes around to the idea of dating a bad girl.

….and also there’s a bit where Mal gets dumped in the water and Audrey, despite Not Signing Up For This Bull Crap, has to jump in and save her. From about two feet of water. Because Audrey was being a reasonable person and taking her shirt off so that she could get the full benefits of the sun. Make that vitamin D.

Mal is so gay that she walked off the side of the boat when it happened.

The OTHER answer is that it’s a rotten ot4 story, and Mal is an evil princess who gets sent away to live on a pirate ship for a year by her mother, who wants her to become more evil and also learn some leadership skills. The other three are the pirates who are supposed to teach her their wicked ways of stealing and drinking and cruelty.

Unfortunately for Maleficent’s plans, the shipping journey doesn’t go exactly according to plan.

Mal does not fall overboard this time, but what DOES happen is that the OTHER wicked princess on board the ship is too perfect for words, and when it’s revealed that actually, Evie is the famous pirate princesa espelho and NOT another wicked boarding school member, Mal has a full blown gay crisis.

“Well YEAH,” says Jay, who is also dating essentially pirate royalty. “She’s like, basically the coolest person you’ll ever meet, aside from me. What, did you think she was one of us regular wicked school brats?”

“I don’t know what I expected,” Mal tells her pillow, which she is burying her face in during said Gay Crisis. “She’s too good to be true.”

“Nah.” Jay says, mouth full of ye olde cheetos or something. “She’s pretty lame sometimes. You should ask her about what her room looked like when she first got her own ship. All dark and gloomy.”

“WHAT” shrieks Mal, who has been working on changing her bunk to the darkest, deepest corner since she first arrived. “She THREW OUT a room that was dark AND gloomy in favor of what?”

“Better lighting for her makeup tutorials, mostly.” Jay says, not paying attention anymore. “I think she might also have a full journalism setup there too. She won’t tell me anymore, not after what happened with the caustic tar.

Mal is horrifically curious about the caustic tar now. “What was it made from,do you know?” she asks, because she’s still working on how to cohabitate with other people peacefully despite growing up running around an evil academy since she was a child.

“Nothing important,” says Jay casually, throwing a ball at the ceiling.. “She had some boards replaced, scrubbed off all the skin on her palms fixing the parts of the door she didn’t want to replace, and then made a very cool liquid version of the tar for spraying on fabric to get natural wear and tear patterns on new garments.

“Sick.” Mal says, and before she can make any other comments:

“There was the matter of the handprints though,” Jay say, still extremely fake-casually. .”they were weird, you know, because Evie had them on her back for weeks, with the tar and all, and they were definitely dainty. Almost like some girl kissed her around the neck while there was still tar on her hands.”

Mal throws a shoe at him, knocking both the ball and the boy out of the way, and shoves past to find Evie.

Because the roles are already a mess for this (I am very small and very tired place just roll with it as I am not editing this before I post) Mal runs into exactly the pirate royalty she doesn’t want to see.

“What the fuck are you doing in my room?” asks Carlos, who is basically a tiny perfect decoy in this world. His mother had a monopoly on the exotics trade for a good few years when he was a child, and would tie him to the mast and make him cry for mercy as a way of luring other ships hoping to rescue a nobleman’s child closer. It worked disturbingly well, and now at sixteen, Carlos is both a pirate elite and terrified of falling into the water.

Mal pushes past, because she is as always a little bit of an asshole, and goes off to find her OWN pirate princess to date. She doesn’t need any stupid boys who just look at her like she’s dumb when she doesn’t know an anchor form a bowline. She doesn’t need to know. She’s going to be managing her own crew eventually, and they’ll do all of the heavy lifting aspects of it all. Mal is simply going to chill out and wait for the princess to come to her.

Of course, because this is a pirate story, this is when another ship sees the school experience boat, and decides that the best experience for the young baddies to have is explosions. Lots of them.

First hand, even.

The pirates (Evie and Jay and Carlos included) get to stations.

Mal, confused and distressed by this turn of events, is about halfway from transforming her whole shit and dealing with the dragon claw marks later, decides to wait in the hold. She is not getting paid for this experience, and it’s so beyond her ability to control what other ships do, mom.

Mal might have a few mommy issues in addition to the princess issues. A balance there.

“Fuck” Mal says, instead of dictating a letter to her mother like she should when entering a potentially life-threatening situation. “Now I’m never going to be able to talk to her.”

Mal does not die, Evie does not die, neither of them actually manage to steal anything in this story except for each other’s hearts, and then they talk at length about their feelings and how they should become a mean fighting team.

The next pirate raid (intentional), they’re ready. They’ve practiced all of their cool two-person moves together, and they’re ready for this.

Two minutes into the battle, Jay gets taken by the unwitting second team and disappears. Mal, predictably, flips her shit when this happens.

Aaaaand now it is late and I’ve written up enough of a piece of a fic I won’t write for this hour. Hope you enjoyed one or both of these ideas, nonny.

(the second one ends with Evie and Carlos dragging Mal along on an adventure to get Jay back, where Mal learns how not to be useless on a ship anymore and she and Evie bond as people and they keep Carlos and Mal in turns from having a nervous breakdown as they get their boyfriend/BFF back and then they all realize that ACTUALLY they work best as a foursome and do that)

#my fic #descendants fanfiction #disney descendants #mal bertha #maldry #malvie #rotten four #I'm just....writing all over the place tonight #I did not proofread this and I did almost fall asleep writing it hope it doesn;t show

I Kissed a Boy

Who let Kat write something that’s not angsty, that completely goes against the brand

A Powerless AU in which Kai and Cole are just two college guys trying to have a good time

1013 words

Kai liked parties. They were an easy source of fun, a good way to get away from the stresses of life. He didn’t actually know whoever it was that was hosting this party, but he did know that they were hella rich.

The place was practically a mansion. He felt bad for whoever was going to be cleaning up afterwards.

The music was pumping through the speakers so loudly that he could barely hear his own thoughts, and the house was packed full of people dancing.

He’d only gotten into this party through Jay. The kid didn’t look like he knew how to party, but damn had he been proven wrong. He was a riot, surprisingly. Still, if he ever hurt Nya, Kai didn’t care how many parties he’d miss out on, he would kill the kid.

Speak of the devil, Jay walked up to him just then.

“Kai, baby,” he grinned, holding a red solo cup and nearly spilling its contents. “How’s it going?”

“You’re drunk,” Kai said, grinning to himself. Jay was fun at parties, but he hardly ever got drunk, usually stuck as the “designated driver”. It was nice to see him get to let go for once. Plus, watching him trip over himself like this was pretty funny.

“Course I am! What are you, my mother? Oh man, I need to write my mom... I haven’t seen her in so long...”

Jay continued his nonsense mumbling for a moment before thrusting the cup at Kai. “Oh! This is for you.”

Kai raised an eyebrow. “What is it?” He asked, taking it carefully.

“Dunno, just tastes real good,” Jay giggled, “try it.”

Kai shrugged, knocking most of it back in one gulp. It was stronger than he expected, but Jay was right, it did taste good.

“Damn,” he mumbled, shaking his head a bit. “Thanks.”

As he turned away from Jay, he caught the eye of some other guy across the room. He was drinking and talking with what were probably his friends, but as soon as they locked eyes...

He was one of the hottest guys Kai had ever seen. This, of course, was saying a lot, because Kai looked in the mirror on a daily basis.

Now, Kai wouldn’t go so far as to call himself gay. He was definitely into girls! He’d had an on-off thing with Skylor for months now, even. But this guy, who’s hair was strategically messy and whose outfit was so casual yet so attractive, had him absolutely dying to talk to him.

He didn’t even really mean to walk up to the guy, but he supposed alcohol increased one’s impulsivity.

“Hi,” he said, having to raise his voice to be heard over the music.

“Hey,” the guy replied, looking Kai up and down like Kai usually looked at hot girls. “Nice jacket.”

Was that why it was so warm in here? Because it was really warm in here all of a sudden.

“Thanks, I got it for my birthday,” Kai replied. Wait, that was dumb, why had he included that detail?

The guy laughed, brushing his hair back with his fingers. He turned, nodding at Kai in a way that he hoped meant “follow”, and started making his way through the crowd.

Soon enough they were in a back hallway, and actually able to hear. What a concept.

If anyone asked, mildly drunk Kai probably would have claimed that it was pure curiosity that had him kissing the guy. He’d wanted to know if his lips were as soft as they looked. Spoiler alert: they were.

Kai pulled away, savoring the way the guy’s dark eyes bore into his.

They kissed again, less gentle this time. The first kiss, while bold, had been gentle and prodding. This was more rough, more scandalous. Kai liked it.

At some point, the realization that he didn’t even know this guy’s name popped into his head. But honestly... it didn’t matter all that much. All that he cared about for the time being was the feel of the guy’s fingers in his hair and the way his body felt under Kai’s hands.

Huh. Maybe Kai wasn’t as straight as he’d thought.

They stumbled into a bedroom, hardly pulling away to do so.

Kai found himself pushed gently onto the bed, and the other guy was practically on top of him, and they kept kissing and Kai wondered in the back of his mind if this was how he made girls feel all the time.

Damn, this was hot.

Okay, Kai definitely liked boys. Or at least boy. He didn’t really know, and he didn’t really care. He’d think about it later when he wasn’t making out with this guy.

The door opened, and Jay and Nya stumbled in, giggling. All four of them froze.

Nya stared at Kai. Kai stared at Nya.

What the hell was one supposed to say in such a situation?

“Get your own room, this one’s occupied,” the guy on top of him finally said, breaking the silence that was otherwise broken only by the muted music still pumping from the speakers.

Jay just giggled and moved on, heading back towards the door. Nya didn’t break eye contact with Kai, raising her eyebrow in such a way that Kai knew exactly what she meant.

He gave a tiny nod, telling her that he was okay.

Satisfied, Nya followed her boyfriend out and shut the door behind them.

“Shit, that was my sister,” Kai groaned, gently pushing the guy off him so they could both sit up.

“Does she know you’re gay?” The guy asked, sounding a little guilty.

“I’m not gay... I’m... I don’t know what I am,” Kai said, staring at the floor.

“Well... we could sit here while you have a crisis about your sexuality, or, if you want...”

Kai decided he liked the open-ended second option better, and so he turned to face the boy sitting next to him, kissing him gently.

Yeah, this was much better than having a crisis about his sexuality. He could do that tomorrow.

Perfect Times Eleven Ep. 2 TRANSCRIPT

ACT ONE

SCENE THREE

(REMINGTON’s writing something down on a sheet of paper. She puts her pen down and lifts it up.)

REMINGTON

(putting her pencil down)

There. I think that’s it.

(DR. MORELLO takes the sheet of paper.)

DR. MORELLO

Oh, yes. These look good. Harvest, Ocean, Create, Change, Fight, Art, Family, Freedom...Joyce? Do you mean, like, the given name Joyce?

REMINGTON

Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s Joyce.

DR. MORELLO

Not “choice” or “joy” or something?

JAY

Boyce? Like the actor in Jessie? RIP.

DAISY

(loudly, from another room)

What about, like, “guys” but in a really weird accent? Like, goiys?

REMINGTON

Nope. Uh, Joyce.

JAY

Hey, uh...

DR. MORELLO

What?

JAY

Nah, it’s probably unrelated.

DR. MORELLO

Um. Well, it’s a good leaping off point. Joyce, or whatever the word actually is, can be the first word you concentrate on.

REMINGTON

The word is Joyce.

DR. MORELLO

Jay here can lead you through how to do it.

REMINGTON/JAY

What?

JAY

Hey, you know I’ve been having some trouble with my head people...

DR. MORELLO

Which is exactly why you could use the practice.

REMINGTON

Jay? W-We’re paying good money — I assume — for you. The doctor. Not the random kid.

DR. MORELLO

She works as an, uh, unpaid intern. Remington, this is a seven-day retreat. Did you really think I, personally, would have the strength to lead you in everything twenty four-seven? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go check on Daisy and take my medications.

REMINGTON

Oh! Okay, yeah, that’s...that’s kinda important.

(DR. MORELLO gets up and exits.)

JAY

Why the…pastels…on the shirt?

REMINGTON

For fuck’s sake, I can’t believe you’re nagging on my outfit when your friend Daisy is dressed like a goddamn tie-dye Fruit Rollup.

DAISY

(loudly, from another room)

It’s gay wrath month, dipshit.

JAY

Okay, man, I don’t wanna be here and you don’t either. So let’s just get this over with.

REMINGTON

Or we could take a break.

JAY

A break? From learning vital information about literal voices in your head?

REMINGTON

C’mon, lighten up a little! I’m spending the week here, so let’s, ah,

(leans in, makes a clicking noise with her mouth)

get to know each other.

JAY

What?

REMINGTON

Like, okay. Hmm...

(trying to think of an icebreaker)

when did you first become Dr. Morello’s patient or unpaid intern or whatever?

JAY

Uh, after my mom died in a fire that burned down our house.

(Beat.)

REMINGTON

Oh. Oh, shit. Um. Sorry.

JAY

Don’t be. You didn’t kill her.

(Beat.)

JAY

Dr. Morello’s been taking care of me since.

REMINGTON

That’s nice of him.

(Beat.)

Nice shirt.

JAY

Oh! You…you’ve seen Daisies?

REMINGTON

Ha! No. What do you take me for, an intellectual? The shirt makes you look angsty and hot. I mean, the movie I don’t give a shit about.

JAY

Oh, well, blame me for thinking complimenting a shirt that’s got nothing but a film still on it means you’ve seen the fucking film.

REMINGTON

I didn’t say nice screenshot, dumbass, I said nice shirt.

(Beat.)

JAY

You’re a little shit, you know that?

REMINGTON

Yes. As a matter of fact, I do.

(4. No Room.)

REMINGTON

WHY DO I LIKE GIRLS WAY OUT OF MY LEAGUE?

WITH…MOODY VIBES AND SLICKED BACK HAIR?

WHY DO I LIKE GIRLS WHO LOOK LIKE 80S FEMME FATALES?

GIRLS WITH CHIPPED BLACK NAIL POLISH AND A SCINTILLATING GLARE?

WHY DO I LIKE GIRLS WHO COULD BEAT ME UP?

AND, BY THE WAY SHE’S LOOKING AT ME, PROBABLY WOULD?

WHY DO I LIKE GIRLS WHO COULD FORGET ME IN A WEEK

AND, KNOWING MYSELF, PROBABLY SHOULD?

RELATIONSHIPS ARE SHIT. LOVE IS A HOAX.

LOVE WILL BETRAY YOU AND LEAVE YOU OUT TO DRY.

ONLY THREE PEOPLE ACCOMPANY ME FROM BIRTH UNTIL DEATH:

ME, MYSELF, AND I!

AND, WELL, THE PEOPLE IN MY HEAD.

CALL ME SELFISH! WELL, IT’S TRUE.

GOT NO ROOM IN MY HEAD FOR YOU.

JAY

WHY DO I LIKE GIRLS WHO THINK THEY’RE THE SHIT?

WHO FLIRT WITH EVERYONE THEY SEE?

WHY DO I LIKE GIRLS I ALSO WANNA PUNCH IN THE FACE

THE MOMENT THEY GET A BIT CLOSE TO ME?

WHY DO I LIKE GIRLS WHO BEHAVE

LIKE A 2000S HIGH SCHOOL SITCOM TROPE?

WHY DO I LIKE GIRLS WHO ARE DUMB AND SHALLOW?

GIRLS WHO LACK ALL COMMON SENSE BUT STILL HAVE HOPE?

FEELINGS ARE SHIT. LOVE IS A HOAX.

LOVE WILL KICK YOU IN THE SHINS, SPIT IN YOUR EYE!

ONLY THREE PEOPLE ACCOMPANY ME FROM BIRTH UNTIL DEATH:

REMINGTON/JAY

ME, MYSELF AND I!

…AND THE PEOPLE IN MY HEAD.

CALL ME SELFISH! WELL, IT’S TRUE.

GOT NO ROOM IN MY HEAD FOR YOU.

SOME PEOPLE FIND ONE PERSON THEY GIVE HOURS OF THEIR LIFE TO.

ONE PERSON WITH WHOM THEY SHARE A BIT OF THEIR PRIME.

ONE PERSON TO CARE ABOUT MORE THAN THEMSELVES.

ONE PERSON WHO COULD BREAK THEIR HEART AT ANY TIME!

WHAT’S WORSE? MARRIAGE! GOD, THE LEVEL OF TRUST!

THE LEVEL OF ATTRACTION THAT EXCEEDS SIMPLE LUST!

ONE PERSON TO EXCHANGE VOWS WITH, ONE PERSON TO TIE YOU DOWN,

JAY

ONE PERSON YOU TRY TO CONVINCE YOURSELF WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND!

REMINGTON/JAY

IF ANYONE WERE TO

JAY

KILL YOU, LIE TO YOU,

REMINGTON

MOCK YOU, MAKE YOU FROWN,

REMINGTON/JAY

USE YOU, ABUSE YOU,

JAY

OR, ‘CAUSE OF A MESSED-UP KID, SKIP TOWN,

REMINGTON/JAY

DON’T YOU THINK IT’D BE THE PERSON YOU LET YOUR GUARD DOWN FOR?

LOVE’S THE BIGGEST LIE SOCIETY FEEDS US.

AND IF ANYONE COULD GET THAT, I FEEL LIKE SHE MIGHT

SHE KNOWS ONLY THREE PEOPLE ACCOMPANY YOU FROM BIRTH UNTIL DEATH:

ME, MYSELF, AND I!

REMINGTON/JAY

GOT NO ROOM IN MY HEAD FOR YOU.

GUESS THAT’S WHY I LIKE GIRLS WHO DON’T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING.

‘CAUSE I KNOW THEY WON’T CARE ABOUT ME.

EVEN IF THEY’RE ASSHOLES, THEY WON’T RUIN MY LIFE.

JUST FLIT IN AND OUT OF IT WITHOUT APOLOGY.

ACT ONE

SCENE FOUR

(There are sounds of DAISY moving around in a kitchen, baking cookies. DR. MORELLO enters.)

DAISY

Oh, hey!

DR. MORELLO

Oh, that looks pristine.

DAISY

(endearingly at freshly baked tray of cookies)

Ohh, she is.

(looks up at DR. MORELLO)

Escaped the masses?

DR. MORELLO

(tired)

Tell me why is it I have to put up with teenage girls for hours on end again? No offense to you. You’re the most bearable of the three.

DAISY

It’s your job.

DR. MORELLO

Ah.

(DAISY puts on oven mitts and heads over to the oven, before opening the oven and taking out another tray of perfect, round, golden-brown sugar cookies.)

DR. MORELLO

Oh, that smells phenomenal!

DAISY

(taking the tray to the counter)

Look at us. Aren’t we little housewives. Making some cookies for them as they probably are making out outside.

DR. MORELLO

“Making out”? Oh, Daisy, get your mind out of the gutter.

DAISY

(getting plates) Better get used to the thought. It’s gonna be reality sooner or later if it hasn’t happened already and you know it.

(DR. MORELLO pauses and sighs.)

DR. MORELLO

I do hope you’re wrong. I don’t like the looks of that girl. Jay acts all tough, but she’s already been through so much...

(pauses)

Are you all right, by the way? I know none of us expected this, but —

DAISY

I’m fine.

(sets a plate in front of DR. MORELLO)

Really. Hey, do you want to try one of these? I upped the amount of vanilla extract, so...don’t hesitate to tell me if I’ve committed an atrocity against mankind.

(DR. MORELLO takes a bite.)

DR. MORELLO

Oh, no, delicious as ever! Keep up the good work. I’ll go ahead and order pizza for dinner — cheese is safe?

DAISY

Cheese is safe.

(louder)

Hey, Remy Ratatouille, do you like cheese?

REMINGTON

(loudly, from another room)

Of course I do! What kind of depraved life do you assume I lead?

(DAISY shrugs at DR. MORELLO, who nods.)

DR. MORELLO

Cheese is safe.

(DR. MORELLO exits. 5. Sugar Cookies.)

DAISY

SUGAR COOKIES!

EDIBLE GLITTER ON TOP.

BOUGHT IN A COLOR CALLED “HOLOGRAPHIC SKY.”

GOT THE LAST JAR OF IT STILL LEFT IN THE SHOP;

GRABBED IT RIGHT BEFORE A REAL TOUGH-LOOKING GUY.

BEING HOMESCHOOLED IN A WAY,

I’VE FOUND ACTIVITIES TO WASTE MY DAY,

MY FAVORITE OF WHICH, I HAVE TO SAY,

IS MAKING SUGAR COOKIES!

(starting to spread the frosting onto the cookies)

SUGAR COOKIES!

THEY’RE GLUTEN FREE!

HAVEN’T MADE SUCH A BIG BATCH IN A WHILE.

WELL, IT’S A LITTLE EXTRA. Y’KNOW, FOR THE NEW KID

IN THE WEIRD SUIT, WITH THE WEIRD SMILE

WHO’S EXACTLY JAY’S CUP OF TEA.

GOD, WHEN WILL SOMEONE MY TYPE SHOW UP FOR ME?

SOMEONE TO IMPRESS WITH MY ONLY SKILL IN LIFE:

MAKING SUGAR COOKIES.

AND I’LL TRY TO KEEP IT OUT OF MY MIND THAT SHE’S AN ELEVEN.

BREATHE IN THE SMELL OF GRANULATED SUGAR INSTEAD!

IF I MEASURE THIS RIGHT, THEY’LL TASTE LIKE HEAVEN!

THE FROSTING’S GOTTA BE

AT THE RIGHT CONSISTENCY.

LET’S SEE HOW MANY I STILL NEED TO FROST!

(counting)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...11. God!

AND I’LL TRY NOT TO THINK OF WHAT THAT NUMBER IMPLIES.

SPREAD SOME GLITTER. “HOLOGRAPHIC”! GREAT, YES, JUST A PINCH.

STOP THINKING THIS GIRL’S DOOMED TO AN INEVITABLE DEMISE?

PUT THEM ON A PLATE ALL PRETTY — GOD, I’M FEELING SHITTY!

SUGAR COOKIES!

I CAN MAKE ‘EM WHOLE-GRAIN!

TRY TO MAKE SURE I’M NOT GOING INSANE!

SUGAR COOKIES ALL FOR THE GUEST —

HOPE YOU STAY ALIVE LONGER THAN THE REST!

STAY OUT OF SIGHT, DON’T MEDDLE, YEAH, THAT’S WHAT I’D SUGGEST!

AND OH...TAKE A SUGAR COOKIE.

Podcast Recs 2019

Hey there! I’ve updated my list of podcast recommendations for 2019. This includes anything from my top favorites to stuff I haven’t gotten around to listening to yet! For a more up to date version of this list, please go here.

* = Favorite! ! = Caught Up # = In progress + = Need to listen

Fiction: *! Wolf 359: Starts off as a goofy space station slice-of-life comedy and spirals into something way, way deeper. Great characters, fantastic plot, and a really great concept overall. *# The Penumbra Podcast: A couple different plots, but primarily a futuristic space noir story. Really cheesy but in the best way, also super LGBT and fantastic and it just makes me so happy. # Beef and Dairy Network Podcast: Just a completely normal podcast about the inner workings of the beef and dairy industry. Nothing weird here, not at all. # Hello From The Magic Tavern: A podcast transmitted from the magical land of Foon! Really chill and funny improvised stuff # King Falls AM: A fun paranormal radio show sort of deal. I’m not far in enough to describe it better. # EOS 10: Doctors in space! It’s gay and funny and suspenseful, I adore the hell out of the writing. # The Bright Sessions: Superhero therapy! Incredible character building, really cool show. # Within the Wires: I’m only an ep in and uh. I have no fucking clue what’s happening but it’s cool as shit so far. # Everything Is Alive: A podcast where a guy interviews inanimate objects! It’s interesting and fun. *# Welcome to Nightvale: A classic! A radio show in a desert town that’s much odder than it seems. # Done Disappeared: A parody of true-crime investigation podcasts. Dumb and funny.

+ Jim Robbie and the Wanderers + Dopple Avenue Hurt + The Thrilling Adventure Hour + Wooden Overcoats + Ars Paradoxica + The Far Meridian + The Strange Case of Starship Iris + Girl In Space + Inkwyrm + Immunities + Mission to Zixx +Kaleidotrope +Midnight Radio

Horror: *# The Magnus Archives: Jonathan Sims, head archivist of a paranormal research institute in London, reads the statements of people who have experienced horrifying things. Things go south very quickly for him and his assistants. HEAVY trigger warning, since it includes lots of the typical horror things such as gore, bugs, cannibalism, etc, but if you can handle it, I highly recommend this show. The writing and characters are so good. *! SCP Archives: Performed readings of different SCP stories. If you like SCP, this show is really good! # Alice Isn’t Dead: A fantastic spooky adventure with a gal trucking across the U.S. to find her missing wife! Made by the Nightvale folks, and it’s really intriguing and well produced. # The NoSleep Podcast: Different horror stories from r/nosleep, acted and read aloud. Varies in quality, but is generally pretty good! Gets better in the later seasons. # Limetown: A well-known faux-journalism horror story. The first season is very good, I haven’t listened to the second yet. # Mabel: It’s been a while since I listened to this one, so I don’t remember much other than it being very, very spooky. # The Black Tapes: The ending isn’t good, but the rest was great. They’re apparently continuing, so hopefully the ending will be fixed.

+ The Blood Crow Stories + The Alexandria Archive + TANIS + Rabbits D&D/Actual Play: *! The Adventure Zone: Look. You know this one. An actual-play podcast that starts off slow and picks up really quickly. 80% comedy, 20% plot, and 100% amazing. Balance is the first campaign and is D&D and a mix of fantasy and sci-fi. *# Critical Role: I’ve been riding with this show for years now, but I haven’t actually listened to the podcast format of it! The show itself is fantastic though, so I’m still recommending it. Follow the in-progress D&D adventure of a bunch of great voice actors. Sorta the flip of TAZ, in that it’s like 80% plot and 20% comedy. Also 100% crying. Their first campaign is complete, and they’re currently partially through their second. # Godsfall: A pretty rules-heavy DND podcast. Really really well produced. # Friends At The Table: Not really far in enough to make much judgement! + Heroes and Halfwits + Tabletop Champions + Join the Party + Dames & Dragons + Bombarded + The Mortal Path + Dnduet + The Venture Maidens + The Broad Swords + Six Feats Under

Nonfiction: # Wonderful!: Happy and pure, Griffin and Rachel Mcelroy talk about things that make them happy. I enjoy listening to random episodes when I need a pick-me-up. # Oh No, Ross and Carrie!: Ross and Carrie go around and investigate different fringe science, paranormal, and spiritual things. They’re super fun to listen to! + The Worst Bestsellers + Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men + Mysterious Universe + Bunker Buddies + Imaginary Worlds + Conversations With People Who Hate Me + Dead Pilots Society + Harry Potter and the Sacred Text + Storybreak + Shmanners + Positiviteeny! + Still Buffering + The Supermega Podcast Comedy: *# My Brother, My Brother, and Me: Really good goofs and advice from the Mcelroy brothers. It’s so good. # Sawbones: Medical history with Sydnee and Justin Mcelroy! Sydnee is an actual doctor, so it’s a wonderful combo of dumb humor and really good information. # My Dad Wrote A Porno: Title kind of says it all. Very, very funny. + What Should We Draw? + Revisionist History + Hardcore History + More Perfect + Making a Podcast with Myself True Crime/Supernatural: *# My Favorite Murder: True crime and murder stories, as told by some very cool and funny ladies. They’re like my goth comedian moms. # Heaven’s Gate: A podcast about the cult Heaven’s Gate. Only 10 episodes, really interesting and well produced. # Lore: I listened to this forever ago and loved it! Really good paranormal and spooky stories. # And That’s Why We Drink: Em and Christine talk about the paranormal and true crime while getting drunk and chatting about their lives! They have a great dynamic and it’s just a fun comfy show to listen to. + Judge John Hodgman +Spirits + Blurry Photos + Expanded Perspectives + Wine and Crime + Cabinet of Curiosities Journalism:

*# 99% Invisible: Beautifully written and edited journalism about design and life. I love the hell out of this podcast. *# Reply All: Journalism and weird stories about technology and the different ways it affects us. I highly recommend listening to episode #102 and #103, Long Distance, if you want an incredibly interesting story about spam callers and trying to hunt them down. # Ear Hustle: Stories about the life of prisoners, made by a prisoner! Really interesting journalism. # Setting the Record Queer: A queer interview show. Pretty new but really fun! # Twenty Thousand Hertz: A podcast about sound design and things relating to it. Very well produced and interesting. + Family Ghosts + Ologies

I do think that the new outbreak of toxic people drumming up their toxic groups in this fandom is hurting people. They think theyre doing something right but all they're doing is making mentally ill and/or young fans too scared to enjoy or create in fear of being harassed.

Hi anon! first of all i want to apologise for responding so late. I have a lot to say about your ask and just wanted a clear head before i decided to respond. i want to start off by saying you are absolutely right.

Before i continue i am going to put a read-more because, well, i have a LOT to say about this, so, mini-rant ahead under the read-more…

These people are doing more harm than good.

I understand if you want to make a small list with content warnings, for a fandom, that is completely fine! But using such a list to start bullying, harassing, threatening and in general, witch-hunting people is not okay. Many great and talented people have been driven away from the fandom by that tiny toxic group(or the cucks, as i like to call them for easy sakes). Content creators are even scared to post their content too now, both of these things are a huge shame. It’s terrible. Sites like tumblr are supposed to be for sharing your content without limitations. [well, until the nsfw ban, but you get what i mean..]

I happen to be in contact with some people on the blocklist, and let me tell you, they are truly amazing and wonderful people.

Yeah sometimes people make content you may not agree with, but that doesn’t mean you have start attacking people for it. Do you know how easy it is to click the unfollow or block button? But apparently some people are so stupid they prefer to screech instead of click one single button.

But for example, I dislike a certain popular hc for medic. I dislike the Jewish medic hc. I’m a Jewish man myself, but I don’t like seeing Jewish medic for multiple reasons, none of which are out of antisemitic nature. What do I see when I see Jewish medic? I mind my own fucking business. The person who posted that wanted to create that, fine by me. I don’t agree with it, and I don’t have to. I’m not going to make a dumb expose list for everyone who ever said anything about medic being Jewish. I mind my fucking business like a normal, mature person.

And there was/is a huge discussion about drawing or writing tf2 non-con…yeah, rape isn’t good. Every sane person knows that. Writing or drawing rape does not mean you’re a rapist (unless it’s an autobiography of course, then I’d like you to take a trip to prison). But, some people, including myself, write or draw non-con as a coping mechanism. I use confrontation to cope. I have a few triggers, and by confronting myself with said triggers I’m slowly getting over said triggers.

If I write or draw about these triggers or rape, I feel like I’m relieving my feelings about what happened to me. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, and i’m not the only person who does it like that.

Yeah, I get people don’t always want to see that. That’s why tags exist, that’s why people use those tags for content and trigger warnings. That’s why you block those tags if you don’t want to see it. It’s that simple

Also, some of them make the claim that fiction is reality. I disagree, fiction is not reality. Yes, fiction can impact reality, but it isn’t one and the same. If you can’t distinguish fiction from reality then, well, you’re either not ready for fiction or not old/stable enough to be able to tell the two apart. Besides, if fiction really IS reality then so many movies and books would have been banned, or the writers of those must have been in jail by now, right? Writing a book about a fictional serial killer does not mean the writer is planning to or already has commit murder. Take Tf2 fan-fiction writers for example. They write about dudes slaughtering each other on a daily basis, but some of them wouldn’t even DARE to hit a fly in real life.

People who commit crimes because of a fictional piece were already going to do so to begin with. No sane human sees a crime that occurs in fiction and thinks to do the same. Those who do commit crimes because of a fictional piece were already planning to do so to begin with, and were probably not a completely hundred percent stable person.

And about the discussion of miss p being a lesbian, yeah I get that Jay said she’s gay and that, and if she really was a Canon lesbian, it’d be weird to ship her with men. However, those cucks do also make soldier a homosexual despite him having a (gorgeous) wife? Isn’t that kind of hypocritical? Anyways, Jay most likely was joking about miss p being gay, he’s known to be a jokey person like that. I feel like the way he did it was just saying “oh yeah btw she’s gay”. To me it feels vague. In the same sense that jk Rowling suddenly says everyone is gay in Harry Potter. Yeah, I hc her as a funky lil lesbian too, but i don’t go off on a tangent when someone sees her as bi, because the way she was “confirmed” as a lesbian, was vague and uncertain, and most likely a dumb joke that split the fandom in half.

Anyways, most of the cucks I ran into are underage, and aren’t even allowed on this site, which can explain their irrational behaviour, and refusing to listen to anyone who slightly disagrees with them, but lemme tell y'all something, minding your own fucking business would have prevented this entire blocklist ordeal.

Besides, YOU are in control of what you see on the Internet. Don’t like a certain type of content? BLOCK IT! or just, STOP LOOKING AT IT! it’s not that hard!

You are responsible for your own experience on the Internet. Not ready for that? Then close your phone/laptop and go outside. Content creators are not responsible for what you do online, these creators don’t know you, don’t expect them to fucking take care of you, they’re not your parents. Avoiding certain content does NOT mean you have to start policing others on what to post. You have no right to tell artist what they can and cannot post. Again, you may criticise or dislike it, that’s fine, but actively demanding censorship or threatening the creator makes you look like an incompetent asshole.

And if you disagree with something, it’s better to start with calming yourself down and contacting the OP in a respectful and mature manner. Maybe talk to them, broaden your horizon, broaden their horizon. Can’t agree eventually? That’s fine, it’s normal. Simply block the tag or the creator themselves and boom! You’re done, and didn’t harm anyone in the fandom and probably learned something, and OP probably too! If something isn’t tagged you can always, nicely, reach out to OP and ask them to tag. Most of the time they will. And if they don’t, just unfollow or block them if they continue posting a certain something that triggers you. Making a blocklist is one of the most immature things you could do. You bully and harass people to the point where some feel unsafe, and some even suicidal, in a fandom about a dumb fucking hat Simulator. Is that really what you want?? A fandom is supposed to be a safe and fun place for everyone who likes a certain something. By being toxic, and harassing others to the point where they don’t even feel safe(not only those who are young or mentally ill) in a what was supposed to be a safe place for them, you’re actively harming that safe place, and frankly, you don’t deserve to be in the fandom.

Also, I’ve seen a lot of these cucks say they actually hate tf2 as a game, and really, if you hate the game so much why are you still here in the fandom? And ruining it for the rest for us?

If you do feel unsafe, follow steps I mentioned above. Talk to people, block tags, block people, and mind your own business without policing others in what they can and cannot do. Unfortunately, the creators who do feel unsafe because of the toxic group cannot talk them, because the moment someone even slightly disagrees with them, or tries to respectfully discuss why they’re being “cancelled” the cucks start screeching like full-blown autists.

You’re not the law enforcement, you are (most likely) a minor who isn’t even allowed on tumblr in the first place, and who has no idea how the internet, or fandom spaces in specific, even work.

Fucking hell I miss 2014 Tf2 fandom sometimes.

I hope this ramble makes sense, and again I’m sorry for making this so long.

And I’m sorry for posting drama again, I don”t like it either, and i usually have a lot of patience, but after a few years of this shit, i have come to reach my boiling point, and i just snapped, I’m sorry.

I sometimes refer to the cucks as you, idk why, but just now that isn’t referring to you anon.

Hopefully this will be the last of drama/discourse for now.

Thank you for reading, have a good day.

Let’s do some Punch Out headcanons for various characters. Just a random assortment, no particular order or set. I talked about Masked Muscle, Glass Joe, Gabby Jay, Piston Hurricane, Kid Quick, and Aran Ryan. Enjoy.

Slapping this under a read more after the first one because it got pretty long and I don’t want to be clogging people’s dashes up. I hope you enjoy!

Masked Muscle

Owns the tiniest dog imaginable. Microscopic dog. He loves this dog more than anything and posts a lot of pictures of him.

Honestly, he’s a real dickhead in the ring but a really super cool guy in everyday interactions. He tries to be tough but he’s genuinely pretty friendly and has a great time hanging out with some bros on a Saturday night. He has an air of assholery about him but he’s really not. Like many boxers, it’s all just a show.

He gets along great with fellas like Aran Ryan, Dragon Chan, and others who also cheat in one way or another. He especially took a shining to Aran because Aran’s cheating is so magnificently fucking ridiculous, like this dude BROUGHT A WEAPON TO THE FIGHT AND GOT AWAY WITH IT! MM loves that motherfucker for it. What a legend.

Masked Muscle actually made up his backstory. He was never a wrestler, but he thought it was a good angle for his WVBA debut. He wanted people to get interested in him by lying about being banned from another sport entirely. It worked, so he was right.

His cornerman is his brother, actually! They’re close as can be. He also helped MM come up with his dastardly luchadore schtick and they always train together. They were in a lot of different sports together as kids, and though MM was the only one who made it to the professional circuit of boxing, his brother stuck with him the whole way.

Glass Joe

Joe doesn’t speak English very well. He understands it, but his ability to speak it is very limited. He’s been trying to learn with the help of Disco Kid and a few others but it’s slow-going.

In general, Joe is a very quiet person. He tends to blend in to the background of conversations, and never really talks a whole lot.

On that note, he’s quiet in the way that he can sneak up on someone without meaning to.

This is a strange one, but if he’s writing/typing in English, each word is capitalized. He Doesn’t Do This In French, However.

A real coffee snob. He tries so hard not to judge people for their terrible taste because to each their own, of course, but he can and will silently wonder what’s wrong with humanity each time Gabby Jay pours a pound of sugar into his coffee.

Joe gets along with everybody. Really, he does. He’s got some kind of aura of complete inoffensiveness and likability that no one can bring themselves to dislike him. He’s not exactly friends with many people, because he’s shy and tends to stick around the Minor Circuit, but everyone knows he’s a good, reliable guy.

Joe gets along really well with Gabby Jay, no surprise there. Joe worries about Gabby a lot, though, because he seems completely unaffected by any injury he gets. Joe’s not sure the old fella really understands the seriousness of boxing injuries, but if Gabby’s happy, then so is he…?

Gabby Jay

Aggressively excitable and very nice. The friendliest old man you’d ever meet. You’d think he thought he was 20 years old by the energy he exudes and puts into his boxing career.

A bit of a crier. He’s just a pretty emotional dude. He cries a loooot of happy tears, though.

Fantastic English. He pretty much doubles as Joe’s translator.

He’ll be your gay, supportive granddad if you want him to be. Or regardless of whether you want him to. He accepts all in the name of the clan Jay, no matter your age. Everyone is family to him!

Gabby loves kids. Loves, loves, loves kids. He definitely has a few of his own! At least four, three girls and one lad. He loves all of them so much and is sad that they’re all scattered across the place now that they’re grown up because he doesn’t get to see them as much. He’ll throw a big bash when he can scrounge up the whole family, though.

Gabby loves to bake. As a waiter, he grew to really appreciate the kinds of pastries they sold at his little old cafe, and he got to learn some recipes from some of the bakers there. He’ll make lots of good sweets for people he likes.

He’s kind of a bizarre figure in the WVBA, because he sucks at boxing so bad, but he has a seemingly endless amount of energy. Joe is very low energy compared to his elderly counterpart, and he’s less enthusiastic about fighting and losing. Joe has no problem with his career or anything, but Gabby is so excited to have any fight. He’s got no qualms about sucking or getting hurt. He’s just glad to be there.

Gabby was actually not much of a boxing fan until Glass Joe became popular. He liked soccer a lot more, but then Joe came and shone a light on the nation of France, and Joe was just so likable that Gabby was drawn to boxing. He was terrible, but so dedicated to his craft! And when Joe wandered into his cafe one day, their conversation led him to wanting to take up boxing. Being a waiter was okay and all, but he wanted to do something exciting.

As nice as Mr. Gabriel Jay is, he can also be kind of a dick to people, as opposed to the ever-kind Heated Sand Joseph. If he doesn’t like you, he just makes passive aggressive comments at you. He doesn’t take shit from people, honestly, and he can be snarky if he wants to be. He’s not outright rude, but maybe if you push him enough, you might see a sharper side of Gabby most don’t.

Piston Hurricane

Well, there’s two Eras(tm) of Piston Hurricane. He appeared in PO 1984 AND in SPO 1994. I actually think the former is what he looks like when he’s older. Younger, mohawk-ed Piston Hurricane came first, when he was in his twenties. He was a much more serious fella then. He just wanted to win, no more, no less. He needed money, what could he say. His fucking house blew away, man. As such, he wasn’t a friendly guy.

PH was also a lot more irritable back then, too. There was so much BS going on in the WVBA, and who’s got time for that? Not our protagonist. He got a reputation for thinking he was better than everyone else, despite only being in the Minor Circuit at the time. He didn’t think that, he just was too focused.

Well, he finally made money to rebuild his family home. PH worked hard for that, and he could finally take a breather, you know? He lost his direction for a while and quit boxing to relax and get back to life as usual in Cuba.

He came back a decade later, looking like his 1984 incarnation. He was a lot chiller then. Great sense of humor like nobody’s business. Absolutely hilarious, too.

PH likes to tease people a lot. It’s just his way, he doesn’t mean anything by it. Sometimes he isn’t aware how much it gets under some people’s skin till they get angry with him.

However, PH can be kind of a spiteful dude. If he doesn’t like you, he’ll lean into the teasing a lot because it’s just a joke bro, why don’t you relax. He seems unaffected by a mutual dislike between himself and another, but he just manifests his dislike differently than most! He can be quite obnoxious, honestly, but he’s a nice guy. Just not to everyone’s taste, which honestly, most boxers are like that because their personalities can be so extreme.

Kid Quick

Just a little 18 year-old fresh outta high school. He boxed a lot in high school and eventually caught the attention of the WVBA. Fame was thrust upon him at that point.

Kid’s got a good head on his shoulders. There’s a lot of bullshit and questionable choices behind the scenes of the WVBA, but he doesn’t get into drama or trouble. He just wants to get along with everyone and have a good time.

Kid can be pretty impressionable at times, though. Hey man, he’s just a kid, you know? He’s pretty wise for his age, but he wants to impress the older, more renowned boxers, and he might do something dumb if they wanted him too. Not like breaking the law, but he’ll go along with some dumb shit, I don’t know what. However, he’s got that little voice telling him it’s wrong. He’ll snap out of it but he’s a little starstruck by everyone at first.

Anyone can get along with him. He’s a little subdued sometimes, not usually the center of a party, but he’s a fun guy to hang out with if you’ve got some time to spare. He’s down for anything. He gets along much better with younger boxers, though. He’s a child, some of these dudes have mortgages, he can’t relate.

Per the fact that Kid Quick was planned to be in Punch Out Wii, I like to think that Kid Quick and Disco Kid are cousins/related somehow. The naming similarities are a coincidence, actually. They also both love a share of disco, but Disco Kid wayyyy more than Kid Quick.

Kid Quick is into vintage video games. Like the Atari kind of vintage. He just thinks they’re really fun!

Aran Ryan

Lad grew up on the Aran Islands. Yes, that’s why his name is spelled like that. His mom is really sentimental, all right? And life is pretty goddamn traditional there. He grew up in an old house. Internet is shite there. The town he lived in was so small, everyone knew everyone else. No one knew the potential he would have, because people almost never left even after they grew up.

Aran was only one of five kids and is the oldest of them all. He was a responsible older sibling but he didn’t particularly get along with most of them. He gets along okay, and everyone talks and gets together at holidays, but he actively talks to his sister only. She’s actually really nice but has an aggressive streak. They have similar senses of humor. Their personalities are very compatible, so it makes sense.

Aran got into boxing as described in his short SPO bio, but someone at his school recognized he had talent and encouraged him to keep going until he started competing in amateur boxing competitions. He rose through the ranks of various organizations very quickly due to his unusual fighting styles.

Aran is gross and weird, but his personality is actually pretty muted outside the ring. He’s pretty quiet if he’s not around friends. He’s not very friendly to most. He can be pretty serious, which is spooky to those who don’t know that before meeting him.

Aran’s still got a terrible, obnoxious sense of humor. Around friends, he shouts a lot and loves to fuck with people. If you play a game with him, he’ll try to kill everyone and ruin their missions for the laughs. Don’t play D&D with him for this reason, by the way.

#punch out #punch out!!#punch out tag #Psy's no punctuation posts #I wondered whether I should post these all separately but ah fuck it I'm just gonna post this #enjoy

!!!BIG TRIGGERWARNING FOR METIONS OF DRUGS, CHILD NEGLECT GANG ACTIVITY!!!

just dont read this i just need to put it somewhere,, im safe now, i seriously do not think the person im writing about is going to be

protip,,, dont be friends with your drug dealer... dont fucking rely on him for two years when your mum was completely gone.

HOW THE HELL did we meet in a math class??? how does that become what is happening now?

mum was never home and your company was so easy to seek out. living so close probably didnt help anything, but i needed you there. i would be dead. i seriously be dead. i was so close so so so many times. and then there you were banging on my door with a fifty for me. gatorades taste like SHIT. and mums nice hose is fucked now. there's probably a lot of gross shit in my lungs. especially from that STUPIF FUCKING HOSE PIPE I USED FOR MONTHS (i think 8?) it was always fun though. we just sit around and smoke and eat whatever shitty food i could afford with what fucking scaps of money mum left at the house when she was home (once a fuckinh week) it was nice to be able to have a spot for it lol. i still have the book we used to use to fucking roll jays in. i use it to press flowers of all things now. (got some in there at the momment for the the girl im kinda in love with who unfortunately lives on the literal other side of the world, shes great though i dunno if youd get along well with her shes more intune with my nerdy gay shit than you are,,)

the past summer. was. insane. you and her were not good together and im sorry for what happened to you in that situation.

being in the back seat of that car. at twilight. was HORRIFIC. i dont think either of you noticed that i was having a panic attack (it was my first one in months,, thanks for that) and then being stuck at that stupid fucking beach in the middle of BUTTFUCK NOWHERE with both of you fucking have a bad trip. there was NOTHING. for me to take to calm down either so i was just fucking shitting it in the car for the whole damn night. the ranger coming scared the SHIT OUT OF ME. like silence after 10 would have fucked you guys if you hadnt known. why did u cap that night??? i still dont understand. ur comedown while we were driving home the next morning was so gross. you were fucking punchjng the roof of the car!!! and the people at the truck stop were giving the three of us some very fucking weird looks. im pretty sure that if i wasnt in that car with the both of you that you would have fucking died. like literally. or fucked the car up anyway. there were so many fucking ROOS. jesus christ the kangaroos. the beach though,, god damn it was one of the most beautiful things ive seen in my life. sucks you were having a bad trip tho because the stars ended up being fucking weird for you but for me,, they were amazing. ive seen good stars before but those. those were something else. it was super fucking weird to get to it though? the beach i mean,, from where you parked anyway. if we had of turned right (like you wanted to) you would have bogged the car. which would have SUCKED. i still cant believe you dropped when we were leaving the city. that was so stupid. the drive to my old town and the place we were going was at least two and a half hours. you were fucked before we were half way there. so so so stupid. its a funny story to tell now though i guess

some time later that summer we were at the foreshore,, a little further along than were we used to go for seshing, i can't remember really what it was for? maybe for the exchange student or something. but i dont really remember honestly. (bit of a blur ironically) but anyway i remember that was the first time that i heard about this plan of yours. to move with that guy. i didnt really think much of it honestly. like i thought it was just unno spur of the momment shit,, (you were capping im pretty sure,, and i think viagra cause caps fuck up your dick lmao) but i guess not? but yeah i thought it was a load of BULLSHIT after today i guess not, six months and youre gone? seriously? im literally going to pray for you. and i dont do that very often anymore. i asked if it would be okay if i could visit. but is that a good idea? like will i even be safe? would you be able to confirm that i was gunna be safe? are you gunna be high enough up in this thing to confirm that?

ive cried for you so many times in the past, this year only a few times,, after summer when u were still super caught up in caps i was worried you were gunna get into the heavier shit (which i suppose i should be even more worried about that now) i cried a lot about that. at the ball i cried for you in the bathroom after you got kicked out. i was actually super angry about what happened that night. she seriously fucked you around which was so unfair. (i still hate her stupid fuckinh girlfriend lol shes dumb as dog shit. who the fuck is gay and an antivaxer in 2020 what kind of bullshit. shes genuinely one of the stupids cunts ive ever met) ive got a picture of me crying in the bathroom. cause i thought it was funny.

i'll remember you forever. stay as safe as possible. and hurt as few people as you can. you were a brother to me. genuinely. and ill never forget that.

i love you dude. theres always a bed at mine

Roserade Tea

Wrote this specifically for @lordgiovanniart. Hope you feel better soon, bro.

It’s late. You feel like death. You just got back home (barely) and you were moping about the house like a zombie for about 10 minutes moaning before you decided you were gonna go to bed.

You trampled over some dirty laundry and made your way up the mansion stairs. Surely at this time of night everyone would be like... doing shit? Its Po Town. Why aren’t the grunts blasting music and dabbing until they get carpal tunnel and arthritic joints?

You pull your head up from your slumped position as you walk past the clock in the upstairs hallway.

Oh. That’s why.

It’s nearly 2am.

Fuck, there go your plans for getting food. Even Guzma is probably already asleep on his own, without you. Plus, knowing him, he’s probably sprawled out at some dumb angle taking up the entire bed. Do you really wanna go back downstairs and find a chair to sleep in or do you wanna have to manhandle Guzma’s heavy limbs to create a space in bed?

Screw this. You’re feeling too shit to do anything. You decide to walk into your room anyway and saunter over to the bed. Guzma is, of course, sprawled out on the bed, though there is actually a decent space for you. That’s new. Plus he’s not snoring? Fuckin’ bonus.

With your final ounce of energy, you kick off your shoes and collapse onto the side of the bed. Guzma is surprisingly quiet tonight...

You close your eyes and take a deep breath in before moaning a pained sigh. You can be as loud as you want. Guzma doesn’t wake up for anything until his body clock says to.

You lie there for a few seconds, breathing sharply with your core tensed and your teeth gritted. You feel yourself nearly wretch and you bolt upright, your arms at your sides propping you up. Your eyes begin to fall back into their heavy, tired; barely open state and you feel your arms begin to buckle at the elbows before giving out. You slump backwards against the headboard. Whatever. You close your eyes and let out another sigh.

Your mind focussing on nothing but the swirling feeling in your gut and the darkness. Your consciousness swaying about like a buoy in the rapids: the sickness pulling you awake while the absolute smashed state you’re in is trying to drag you into slumber.

You hear the sheets rustle. Guzma has started moving. You crack open your eyes and in the darkness you see his silhouette against the soft, pale pastel-esque light emitted through the curtains. The faint glow of the moon illuminating his face just a little as he looks at you, confused.

“What’s wrong?” he growls. He obviously hadn’t used his voice in a few hours because of how dry and low it sounded at that moment.

“I feel like shit...” You manage to whisper, the angle your neck contorted at against the headboard doing obvious wonders for your vocal chords and throat.

“Aight, well sittin’ like that ain’t gonna help.” Guzma says softly, his voice beginning to warm up. “You either lie down or sit up cause that shit looks uncomfortable as fuck”.

He cracks a cheeky smile. “You want a drink or somethin’? You look dead and knowin’ you you’ll probably want somethin’ hot, right?”

You just look at him, still in the dumbass position you collapsed into with a weak smile across your face. You just enjoy seeing him being so soft, especially in the pearly radiance of the moon. The curtain flutter occasionally allowing more light into the room for a second, letting you see his face more clearly.

“I’ll take that as a yes...”

Guzma begins to get up and leave the room, stark naked.

“Wait-” You try to call after him but because of your squashed throat you begin to splutter.

He turns around and looks at you curiously with an endearingly dumb look on his face. You take this opportunity to put one finger up to him while you finally reposition yourself upright, leaning against the headboard.

“Put some underwear on.”

He rolls his eyes and picks up his discarded white underwear off of the carpet where it was laying next to his shirt and pants before leaving the room and heading to the kitchen.

The following few minutes pass unusually fast. The windows were open and there is a weak, but steady breeze causing the red satin curtains to roll and undulate smoothly, allowing small glimpses at the rain-soaked palm trees outside the window. It had rained that afternoon before clearing up in the evening. It was a lot warmer now, but the trees are still damp.

You spend a while just gazing mindlessly at the window, occasionally seeing a Murkrow fly past and you even hear the cries of Trumbeak in the distance despite the late hour.

You hear Guzma’s footsteps coming closer as well as the occasional click of a light switch being turned off. He comes back into the room, half asleep and presents you with a small china teacup with a Kalosian tourist location on it. It’s a beautiful oil painting of Parfum Palace, the big, grand palace that you were taught about as a kid in history class.

“Ran outta Tapu Cocoa so I hunted around a bit an’ got a teabag outta the cupboard. I think it’s one of Plumeria’s fancy-ass blends so don’ tell ‘er about it.” He whispers while looking over his shoulder in the miniscule chance that she was there, ready to throw hands over a damn Roserade Infusion teabag.

“Thanks babe” you mutter, smiling up at him before looking back down at your tea and sniffing it before taking a sip. “You know, apparently you can tell if the Roserade whose petals they used for a specific teabag is shiny just by the smell.”

Guzma was only half-listening. He walks around the bed and gets back in, nestling himself in close to you while you sip your tea. A hot drink always makes you feel better when you’re feeling like crap. So does Guzma himself. You don’t have more time to think about it just then because he puts his arm around you and slides down in the bed, bringing his head down level to yours. You press your head into his and close your eyes. You’re able to release your grip on the teacup because you’d finished the tea that was in it. You feel Your boyfriend take it from your hand and hear it being placed down on the dresser. You moan slightly as you feel his warm body move away from your side for a couple of seconds to put the teacup down.

You sink into the bed properly and Guzma follows suit. You lie there in silence for a few seconds. You feel his arm against the top of your head, displaced from where it was before around your body.

“My tummy hurts...” you complain softly.

A few seconds later, you feel his arm move away from your head and the hand of the other come onto your tummy, slowly rubbing it to make you feel better.

His large, warm hands massaging you feels so right. You melt slightly, but not too much, since you still feel a bit sick.

“Better?” he says quietly, the sound breaking between a whisper and his regular voice.

“Yeah...” You whisper back.

You close your eyes.

Guzma presses his head into the nape of your neck and breathes in deeply before exhaling a deep sigh. You could hear that he was smiling.

The light, earthy smell of the Roserade Tea filling the room as you slowly fade out.

You feel slightly less like shit now.

Shy Jay, Popular Carlos AU

i’ve written this twice bc fuck tumblr. anyway here we go.

jay literally hangs out with like… two people. mal and her girlfriend uma. that’s it. and maybe uma’s weird best friends, gil and harry, who are super gay and weird but whatever he deals with them. they’re all kind of the outcasts and they don’t really talk to anyone else. jay, especially, doesn’t really talk to anyone else bc… he doesn’t really like anyone else. he barely even likes gil or harry. his best friend is mal, and uma is… cool. she scares him a little, but she’s cool. so anyway they don’t really go outside their comfort zones, aren’t rah-rah school or pep rallies or anything, mostly they just sit in mal’s basement and talk shit. jay doesn’t usually but he listens.

carlos is the nicest kid in class, and everyone loves him. he’s a part of the Big Six which consists of him, evie (the smartest kid in class, the most fashionable girl in class, editor of the newspaper), audrey (the prom queen, head cheerleader, evie’s girlfriend), ben (lead soccer player, second nicest kid in class, in the gsa), doug (second smartest kid in class, ben’s boyfriend, president of the gsa, on the debate team), and chad (resident rich kid, dumb ass dude bro, also on the soccer team and the lacrosse team). everyone knows them and everyone loves them.

they’re in the same history class, and miss fae decides to switch up partners for the last project of the semester. she does a randomized switcheroo and guess who ends up partners. yep. u guessed it. audrey and chad! (just kidding it’s obviously jaylos)

so they sit next to each other and very purposefully don’t look at each other. chad looks over at carlos and scoffs and is like ‘yo i feel sorry for you man’ and carlos rolls his eyes bc chad is a dick and jay is like ‘hey man! i can hear you’ and audrey hits chad.

they meet up outside of class (bc they have to for the project), always at the library and not at their houses. (jay’s dad… doesn’t like being disturbed, and carlos has never let anyone meet his mother.) they don’t really talk about anything other than what they have to, and by they i mean carlos bc jay tries to open his mouth and just stutters like a fool bc a. carlos is beautiful and b. he’s not used to talking much at all, bc uma and mal are usually talking/arguing/flirting, and harry will argue with them and gil will say whatever and jay is mostly the silent muscle. anyway carlos talks about history and jay nods and listens. carlos thinks he’s not listening bc he’s not saying anything, but jay is taking notes and stuff (and doodling drawings of carlos but w/e it’s fine)

in about their fourth meeting, jay makes a dumb history pun by reflex and carlos laughs pretty hard (he loves puns) and jay is shook bc he didn’t think carlos could get any more beautiful and, wow, he was wrong!! the smile!! can u believe!!! and carlos is like ‘so you do speak. do you listen as well?’ and jay is like ‘i’m getting every word dude’ and carlos is like ‘great, now help me write the intro paragraph’

by the time all is said and done, they’re dating. they merge friend groups (mal and uma are now that other lesbian couple, but they’re like the grumpy wine aunt lesbians; gil and harry… people are mostly just scared of them, but they’re friends with jay who is dating carlos so??? they have to be cool) and they win homecoming. (not prom, though. they can’t touch prom, that shit’s audrey’s or she would kill them.)

send me an au for 5+ headcanons!

#jaylos #otp: he's kind of like my brain #descendants #katie writes #im on fire today #anonymous #what kind of woman doesnt have an ask

- Was not expecting a commentary on social stratification and gang culture being the only outlet for kids from poor neighborhoods who think they have no other means of escape and the importance of making sure kids from lower class families have access to a good education but that’s what I got.

- I know all you Jaylos shippers are probably writing fanfic where Jane is the Evil Bitch Who Doesn’t Deserve Him because that’s what always happens when a girl gets in the way of the gay ship, but have you all considered fanfic where Jane is Carlos’ Awkward Wingman Who Is As Clueless About Dating As He Is and they get into crazy shenanigans together while she’s trying to help Carlos win Jay’s heart?

- (I personally thought Jane/Carlos was kind of cute, mostly because they are both the awkward fluffy dorkbabies of their respective groups, but I will admit it was not established very well.)

- Evie and Doug are still cute and also are going to take over the world together with the power of fashion and accounting.

- Mal and Ben are still hella cute and I love that he sees her transform into a giant scary dragon and does not give a shit.

- And his parents seem to adore her and are super offended when it looks like he ditched her which is also very cute.

- (Speaking of parents was Maleficent-lizard literally in Mal’s backpack that whole time?)

- Also it is interesting how Mal and Evie get the dramatic duet complete with montage. And by interesting I mean gay. Seriously if you showed that to someone out of context they would totally think it was a love song. Which I am not complaining about btw and I expect that song to be used in many yuri amv’s from now on.

- That part when Carlos made everyone sit and talk because he and Jay were worried about Mal too and wanted to be in the conversation. More things showing boys and girls having strong platonic friendships/family dynamics please yes good.

- I do think it’s weird Audrey wasn’t in the movie after playing such a big part in the Wicked World shorts. I guess the actress wasn’t available?

- ...I have a theory that she was on the boat somewhere at the end and only pretended to be stranded in Sherwood forest over the phone to keep Chad away from it because she didn’t want to deal with him.

- I also kind of want to ship Chad and Gil just because they’re both one-dimensional stereotypical dumb blond jerks who only exist to be the butt of jokes apparently.

- Except Harry kissed Gil in the book maybe? Or something?

- Harry is totally bi and flirts with everyone though have u seen him?

- Also totally in love with Uma. In that it’d-be-cute-if-they-weren’t-so-evil-but-it’s-still-really-cute kinda way.

- Uma has a least a fraction of a crush on Ben, but to be honest he is very easy to crush on i mean he’s so earnest and fluffy and wanting to help everyone.

- And that part when dragon!Mal and Tentacle!Uma were fighting and Ben just roars and jumps overboard and it’s like “aw he’s not so different from them and now he’s gonna kick butt!” but then he just talks everyone down again because he’s a freaking sweetie honestly.

- I was expecting some kind of comment from him along the lines of “Mal it was really hard for me to fit in on the isle, now I know how hard it must be for you in Auradon trying to act like us all the time” but oh well.

- But apparently Mal’s actress and Harry’s actor are dating and there are vague rumors that might affect stuff? To which I say to them, if y’all really want to kiss on screen that bad have Harry and Ben switch bodies in the next movie or do a totally different Disney channel movie together, don’t mess up established in-universe relationships for irl stuff.

- I don’t really believe those rumors anyway but just in case i guess.

- anyway Ben/Mal and Harry/Uma otp.

- Jay’s still pretty single which is cool, I like that he and Lonnie are just at the “mutual friends with great respect for each other” stage

- (JAY TELL HER SHE FIGHTS GOOD)

- Lonnie was kind of shoehorned in but okay yeah badass girl swordfights were pretty badass and Jay getting around the rules by making her coach was also nice, if an overdone trope.

- Uma’s hair is awesome.

- Dizzy was adorable and way too pure for the island.

- would have liked to see some of the Wicked World characters like Jordan and Ally in there properly but oh well.

- headcanon: Uma and Freddie are sisters or half-sisters or something.

- in conclusion: all of these songs have been stuck in my head for a week make it stop.

thoughts on degrassi: next class season 3 :) it’s nearly 3,000 words because apparently i had a lot of emotions.

i...honestly was expecting the worst. the way they refused to promote the show until the last second and the fact that everything was hush-hush... i was expecting it to be awful. but this season is the first season in forever that reminds me of the degrassi i fell in love with when i was growing up, and it honestly makes the last few seasons look a little garbage in comparison. i cried at least 1 time per episode - maybe i’m just in an emotionally vulnerable place, but everything was getting to me. every emotional beat held my attention and brought me so deep into the world. i don’t even have words. the characters were all realistic as hell - and all a little problematic in their own ways - and it was just... wow. and everyone actually got enough focus and nobody got too much screentime imo. even maya -who had the most important plotline (in my opinion) & has been degrassi’s princess for the past few seasons - even maya had an appropriate amount of screentime. i’m here for it. i don’t want this class to graduate, unlike clare’s class, who i was so damn sick of... i’m gonna go into each character (and their related plots) now while the emotions are still so raw.

zoe - i LOVED zoe’s storyline. i love her falling for rasha. i loved her finding herself and feeling secure and safe and having a friend group. i loved her being student counsel president. she is perfect for it. i love that they showed her actually being a president, not just throwing dances and bullshit like the past few presidents. she was actually doing well for the school and... killing it. i hate her mom, but i loved the way they portrayed it. it was seriously so realistic and it was hitting me hard as someone who just recently came out to my mom. that’s how it is for so many people who come out, but i love that she decided to refuse giving up her happiness - especially since its’ taken so long for her to achieve. i cannot wait for more gay zoe thriving and living for herself. she was one of my favorite characters this season. she has had so much shit happen to her, and for her to finally be coming into her own and finally finding herself, even if it means losing her mom... fuck i loved zoe so much and ana did such an amazing job.

rasha - raSHA RASHA RASHA !!!!!!! i am so fucking in love with rasha. her claiming her faith the way she wants to, her crushing on zoe and being so fucking ADORABLE WITH ZOE i was so here for every bit of it and i wish she was only a sophomore or something because i need her to be the main character once the seniors graduate PLEASE. she was literally possibly my favorite part of this season. casting a+, acting a+, the only thing i could wish for would be more plots with different people. i liked her little parts with miles, i loved the stuff with goldi, i loved the stuff with zoe (gracevas who?)... i just want her to be more than just zoe’s girlfriend and goldi’s friend.

goldi - OK so.... i liked her storyline about her struggling with her faith. i liked her storyline with her struggling to accept beliefs that weren’t strictly muslim.. however, i wish they hadn’t made her a feminist. because although feminists are completely able to have their own beliefs on things like homosexuality and other ‘sins’, it reinforces the other parts of her that represent white feminism to me. she’s not intersectional. she’s a feminist about ‘equality’ with men and she’s a feminist about her hijab. great strides. but that doesn’t make her the poster child for feminism in my opinion. i’d rather her be the leader of the social justice club or something rather than feminism club (that, lol, doesn’’t exist now that it’s not convenient to the plot)

winston - this is gonna be short lol but i DIDN’T HATE HIM THIS TIME AROUND OOPS. he wasn’t bad! this is the max involvement i want out of him. tiny doses of him are alright - he was cute with zoe/rasha/goldi, which is my top friend group this season, especially since zig’s friends are GAAArrrRbbbAAAAGGGEEEE)

zig - speaking of! i didn’t hate zesme. i actually liked them better than zaya. i liked that they were sexually active and (other than the gross slut shaming plot) were sex-positive and not ashamed of being sexually active. i’m here for it. i’m here for them having all of the sex they want. zig was a pretty small part of the season which i am... COMPLETEly ok with because i honestly... got sick of him the past few seasons. especially if the writers aren’t gonna flesh him out. i’m struggling to think of other plots other than the stuff with esme and his friends being absolute garbage which LEADS ME TO....

tiny - i liked him so much in the past but fuck but he was acting like garbage this season. other than the scene after 7 minutes in heaven where he says ‘you only like me when i’m the perfect science student’ or whatever to shay -- i liked that. and i guess i liked the period stuff with him. but he was acting kinda garbage. i’m ok with it because i love that they’re making these characters flawed and interesting and problematic.

shay - i don’t,,, know. she was alright, i didn’t like the revenge bullshit because that’s so not shay. she’s not petty like she was acting this season. she’s never been petty. i prefer the plots about her scholastic life and her future goals. i liked that she didn’t get too involved in being extra and petty and dramatic, but this season she kinda became that person. it’s alright because again, i like seeing flawed characters and they definitely did that this season, but i did like when she was different than her friends.

lola - BLESS. LOLA. she was interacting with so many people and interweaving with so many different plots and it was just...expert writing tbh. she had so much going on but it all made sense together. the abortion plot gave me chills, i love that they showed the doctor and they showed the procedure and that line about her not being the first 16 year old to get an abortion in the day... WOW. seriously. amanda’s acting deserves some type of award. she killed it. miles/lola stuff... i was a fan tbh. it worked. so well. i loved it all. i loved that she didn’t struggle with her abortion. i loved that she shared her story and wasn’t sorry. i have zero complaints. i don’t want her to graduate. she’s the first one in a while that i really am starting to care about. i care about her the way i cared about jt and manny and all of the characters in the old days. i’m in love with lola. i’m in love with lola being vulnerable and sensitive and a little petty and more than a vessel for mediocre one-liners. and that blue hair was stellar. i have such a crush on amanda and the fact that she’s a good actress (she’s improved a ton since the last few seasons) and she’s super beautiful... maybe my new fave? it’s a three way tie between lola, rasha, and frankie. hoping for single lola next season because she is SO MUCH BETTER than these dumb boy plotlines she’s been getting. she’s come so far from being the boy-crazy dumb character. she’s developing so nicely. yes yes yes.

frankie - i’m mad that they dropped the racism plot. zero mention. everyone hated her and wanted nothing to do with her and suddenly she apologizes and nobody is upset with her at all? whatever though. i wish they just hadn’t done that because as i posted earlier, i related to her so damn much with her emotional issues. i hope they do some sort of plot with her being codependent and having emotional issues. i’m super clingy just like her - i give my all to my partners and i lose a bit of my identity, just like her. and seeing myself in her, seeing her not necessarily being demonized (in my opinion, other than the last bit with jonah) was meaningful. i just wish she wasn’t racist. i liked that the hollingsworth siblings were all interacting with one another throughout the season. i liked the continuity of her being kinda gross saying abortion was murder (its consistent)... sara is an amazing actress.

jonah - garbage garbage garbage but i appreciate that he’s realistic and consistent. but he’s lowkey gross. highkey gross. he reminds me of jay or something. that whole friend group (zig, grace, jonah) seems to non-stop talk shit about everyone and it was gross, but agaaaain realistic and i appreciate that the writers are writing the characters like this. and i see my partners in jonah tbh when it comes to frankie. i hope to god grace and jonah don’t get together though, i’m not here for that at all. not in the LEAST. just be friends for fucks sake.

grace - here for it here for it here for it. not here for her putting up with her friends’ shit talking women and being shady because in the past she’s definitely not put up with petty drama, but whatever. maybe this is more realistic. her CF stuff is so unique and great and i’m just here for degrassi getting out of their comfort zone and writing unique stories and actually doing research to represent a disease and props to nikki for portraying that fear of dying and the conflicted emotions and i’m here for it so HARDCORE. and her being mad at maya, here for it. she was justified, even though maya was going through shit, she was so justified and i just loved nikkis performance. all i can wish for in the future is maybe a plot about her being native and dealing with the issues that go with that. and drop your gross friends, especially jonah.

esme - she is SO intriguing and i’m so mad they’re wasting chelsea’s talent. the acting was out of this world and her emotional beats were so fucking awesome. if they don’t do a serious mental health plot before she graduates i will forever be mad at the writers. having her spiral even more after pretty much reliving finding her mom (with the maya situation) will be so traumatic. and chelsea would kill it. as i said with zig, i like zesme tbh, i love her being open about her sexuality and not ashamed of anything when it comes to being a woman. i didn’t like her shaming shay for having her period, but it seems about right for esme’s character. and again, problematic realistic characters. they’re high schoolers. they’re gonna be petty. and esme has some problems that would cause her to be bad with social situations and act in a way that gets attention.... more esme next year or i’m gonna riot.

miles - here. for. it. EVERYTHING was perfect. the lola thing made perfect sense. his acting was out of this world. the interactions with tristan were amazing, the whole plot was great. i wasn’t really into the play but i get that it was a good plot device. i think they could’ve had lola and him bond and have the same great plot without the play, but bringing tristan into it needed the play, and i think it was overall a good idea i guess. the play was well woven into the entire season. the whole season was just so well interwoven i was shocked. usually it’s off balance and people don’t intersect, but... they killed it.

tristan - i didn’t even care about tristan before now. at all. but it was so jarring to see him in a coma and then waking up and in the wheelchair... i started crying when he was in the wheelchair typing the words. he’s changed forever. and i love it. the bus crash is forever changing his life. he may never be the same, and i hope he graduates in the chair with minimal speech capability. i’m fine with him relearning speech but if he returns to the sassy, personable guy he was before the crash... it’d be unfortunate to waste this opportunity to make a memorable and unique plot. i hated his last scene about pizza. the ending was such a serious and melancholy beat and then they were like PIZZA!!! trying to be funny. and idk if it was supposed to be him incapable of expressing emotions with maya literally almost killing herself but he literally didn’t make one comment about the girl that he met on his first day of high school and was so involved with for Y E A R S... they were best friends. they may have had falling outs but come on. give us something. he could understand emotions with miles cheating on him and could have a coherent conversation and understanding when it came to that, so why not this? btw i appreciate him not being totally biphobic with the lola thing and understanding it somewhat. of course, he has limited speech so it’s not like he can spout off a bunch of biphobic bullshit like usual, and hopefully there are more important things than miles hooking up with a girl... i liked how he took it and although i don’t care one way or another about triles, i liked their resolution, and i definitely 100% believe triles is endgame. i’ll be surprised if it’s not.

maya - the big one. i cried almost every time she was on screen because i related so much to her. i got her. i got what she was feeling and i understood every frustration and every action and everything she was going through. of course not 100%, but i got it. i loved the mention of cam and adam (although i would’ve killed for her to talk about how she thought suicide was selfish when cam did it and how she now gets it, i would’ve killed to hear her thought process there) but i was here for it. olivia is an amazing actress. she killed it. and i loved that she wasn’t a part of a lot of the plots. it really isolated her and it translated and it made sense with how isolated she was truly feeling. i liked the saad stuff - even though it was totally fucked up, i totally got it and i understood them finding solace in one another and the photoshoot stuff was seriously so interesting and (as i’ve said for 1,000,000 things in this review) SO UNIQUE. i’ve never seen depression handled the way they handled maya. i was never expecting to feel so strongly about maya but it was amazing. her slowly reaching her breaking point in the last couple seasons has been so masterful, and this was just perfect. the pill popping scene and the scene with katie and her mom where she was having one good night before she kills herself...that acting...you just knew. and it was heart wrenching. this has to be some of the best stuff degrassi has ever done. as someone who has seen everything since day 1 of tng, i’m seriously saying that this plot with maya - this arc that has been going on since cam’s death - is seriously some of the best tv i’ve ever seen. like amanda, olivia deserves a nomination or something for this. seeing katie was amazing - props to degrassi for that, considering in the past, like with clare, past family members just ceased to exist.

gamer club - idc IDC IDC and if these are the motherfuckers who are supposed to carry the show after lola’s class graduates i’m sorry but i may lost interest. it wasn’t HORRIBLE but it just reminded me of the past few seasons that were just mediocre. they held my interest enough, but i’m not invested overly. baaz is annoying, vijay is a piece of human garbage, hunter is mediocre, and yael... yael has potential if she stops lowering herself to the level of these losers.

overall, this is the best season in forever. the stories were interwoven so well, the writing was great, the plots were diverse and unique and not tired (like they have been in the past few seasons)... it was so emotional. and so real. and it gives me hope for this franchise and makes me want to write on their staff and continue to make content like this. i want season 4. i want these flawed fucked up teenagers. the production value went up. the writing went through the roof. the acting wasn’t cringey like it usually has been. it has flaws, but overall... i’m singing praises and i have hope. shouts out to degrassi for reviving this franchise (hopefully) and getting it right. HERE FOR IT. <3
